7. Take it easy.

Avoid jack rabbit starts and stops. Stop and accelerate gradually. This will save gas and conserve wear and tear on your brake linings, transmission and suspension.

In extremely slow or stop-and-go traffic, don’t ride the brake pedal. This wears out your brake linings prematurely and wastes fuel. It’s best to shift into a lower gear.

8. Keep it full-ish.

Avoid running your car with the tank low on gas. Keeping the tank low increases the chance that moisture will collect in your tank.

One government study pointed to three top causes of car breakdowns on the road: Tire trouble, cooling system problems and running out of gas.

9. Mind the oil.

Regular oil changes according to the manufacturer’s guidelines are the most important thing, dollar for dollar, that you can do to protect your engine and make it last longer.

10. Lighten up.

The more a car weighs, the harder the engine, transmission, brakes and suspension have to work. While cars are designed to carry extra weight, over the long run, any unnecessary strain will take miles off their life. Don’t use the trunk as a mobile garage. Keep it as light as possible.

Follow these suggestions and you can look forward to doubling your car’s useful life! * * *

Real Hope for Back Pain Sufferers Real Hope for Back Pain in the Coachella Valley Sufferers in the Coachella Valley PAID AVERTISEMENT

Non-Surgical Painless Treatment May Eliminate or Dramatically Reduce Your Pain Caused by Bulging Herniated or Squashed Discs. ... No Surgery ... No Injections ... No Painful Treatments

World’s 1st “FDA Approved” Non-Surgical DeepTissue Laser Treatment pire Spine Center and their program versus surgery. I now have my life back and am again enjoying my retirement. -- David D

Hello, I’m Dr. Robert S. Krage, D.C. Are you in pain? Have you tried eveything to alleviate your pain without success? Are you contemplating surgery? Tried injections?

Had surgery but are still in pain?

In many cases the operations are necessary for proper health and recovery from an injury. However, I have seen hundreds of patients who received operations they did not need and are still in ridiculous pain. Inland Empire Spine and Disc now offers a modern-day method of pain relief that is proven to be an effective alternative to surgery. ... simply the best for spine and disc -- bar none.

Surgeon Turns Believer

Dr. Robert Murrow, a well known, trusted orthopedic surgeon who had performed over 15,000 surgeries said, “I was suffering from shoulder pain for six months straight with no relief. I heard about laser treatment and after seeing and hearing many of my patients’ stories, I did more research on the topic and found that the doctors and staff now using the LCT-1000® finally have a tool to help people who think that surgery is their only option.

I went to get treated with the LiteCure laser and was amazed that it took away all my pain. After six months of misery, I am happy and relieved to say that I am now pain free.”

Are PILLS & INJECTIONS effective, longterm solutions for pain relief? NO WAY!

Until now, people have masked their pain by frequently taking prescription pain pills or by getting cortisone injections. This type of relief masks the cause, is temporary, and more often can lead to even more pain - or worse yet -- addiction to those drugs! So many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate their pain. Did you know that prescription medications kill more people every year than do illegal drugs? No one is immune to prescription drug abuse.

Inland Empire Spine and Disc insists on using World-Class LCT-1000® Laser. IT SPEEDS HEALING AND PAIN RELIEF!

effects or risks that may occur with other forms of treatment. In addition, it can often achieve results faster than other treatment modalities.

During the treatment the patient feels a deep soothing warmth and pleasant sensation that reassures that the laser is activating cells in the healing process immediately!

Inland Empire Spine and Disc treats: • Herniated Disc • Slipped Disc • Disc Degeration • Spinal Stenosis • Numbness in Toes or Fingers • Back or Neck Pain

FIRST 25 CALLERS RECEIVE:

“My husband and I were very skeptical that anything could help our injuries from more than 25 years ago. In ten short weeks our lives have been transformed from progressive disability to active enjoyment in our retirement years. Dr. Krage has a genuine desire to see each person get better. His approach includes not only decompression and laser, but also muscle work, vitamins, orthotics, and exercises. We now have hope and are motivated to continue these healthy lifestyle changes. My husband and I are now able to do things we have wanted to do but didn’t think possible, thanks to Dr. Krage.” -- Joan S.

Will season four be the last? The brothers have said in the past that they see the show running four to six seasons, but that could change with their expanded Netflix deal. *** What happened to “The Village”

that aired last year? It was my favorite series.

Didn’t it have the same writer as “Parenthood,” which was a ver y successful show?

-- S.S.

Q:

by Dana Jackson King Features News Syndicate

Q: I’m searching for information on

a series that aired last year about an airline flight that disappeared for five years and then mysteriously reappeared. I can’t remember what it was called. I thought I had read that it would be back for a second season. -- M.U.

but unfortunately it just didn’t generate very high ratings.

Producer-writer Mike Daniels doesn’t have any connections with “Parenthood,” but his credits include several episodes of the biker drama “Sons of Anarchy” and the Jennifer Lopez police show “Shades of Blue.”

A:

The mystery drama you’re thinking

of is “Manifest,” starring Josh Dallas and Melissa Roxburgh. Fortunately, it will be back for a second season, but not until the winter or spring of 2020.

The 13 episodes will air Monday nights on NBC without any hiatuses.

It’s the closest you’ll be able to get to binging the entire Melissa Roxburgh season at in “Manifest” once. I think it’s a smart move for network television to do this, as it decreases the chances of fans losing interest. *** I just finished watching season

three of “Stranger Things” on Netflix and can’t wait for more. Has it been renewed for a fourth season yet? -- P.S.

Offset – how much of your electric needs will the solar system cover? If the system is designed for 100% offset, that means that at the end of 12 months it should cover all the electricity you’ve used, assuming you used the same amount as your historical usage. This is usually based on how much you used in the previous 12 months, so if that amount increases it won’t cover it all. However, if you know you’re going to get an electric car or are thinking you might keep your household temperature even lower next summer, that can be taken into account and a few extra panels can be added. You may also need to include a few more panels because time-of-use rates (TOU) are different from your previous tiered rates. You will have to switch to TOU when you go solar, and every customer does starting next year (although they can opt out).

Inverter – solar panels make electricity that is DC current, and our homes use AC current, so the electric current needs to be changed, or “inverted”. This can be done on the panel itself if a microinverter is installed, or the electricity can be sent to a larger inverter to do it.

Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems. Solar consultants will answer all your questions and help you decide if solar is right for you - not pressure you into buying a system.

Hand Sanitizers and the Flu Virus

With flu season just around the corner, there’s a new wrinkle to staying healthy this winter. Our old standby, the antiseptic hand sanitizer, has been found to not work as well as we believed, especially with the influenza A strain.

It’s all in how we use it, according to a recent study.

First, choose a hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol. Be sure to cover your whole hands, including nails. If you come in contact with wet mucus (from a sneeze or cough), it takes the sanitizer a full four minutes to kill the flu virus. (How many of us use sanitizer for four minutes?) Dry mucus (for example, on a shopping cart handle) takes less time.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Seniors Seek Help for Their ‘Kids’

I wrote about this phenomenon about a year ago. And it never ceases to amaze me. I’m referring to the emails I get from readers who are asking Social Security-related questions on behalf of their children. And when I say “children,” I don’t mean little tykes who are still wet behind the ears.

I’m talking about children who wear hearing aids and belong to AARP!

I find it hard to believe that I get letters from folks in their 80s and beyond who are seeking Social Security advice for their children who are 60-somethings. When I compare it to my own situation, I’m even more surprised. My wife and I have two kids, both of whom are in their early 40s, with children of their own. Our parenting duties have long since waned, and, for the most part, have been replaced by grandparenting chores.

I just can’t imagine myself, 20 years down the road, shepherding my kids through the process of signing up for Social Security and Medicare. But perhaps I’m wrong. Maybe the urge to be a good parent -- to provide advice and counsel to your offspring -- never goes away.

And I guess that’s demonstrated by these emails I keep getting from older senior parents asking questions for their younger senior children.

Here are some examples:

I think they are going to have some is sues with Social Security. Sue has worked on and off throughout her life at a series of odd and usually low-paying jobs. She says her Social Security benefit will be about $800 per month. Roy has run a family farm all of his adult life. He still works it now. I don’t know all the particulars, but apparently the farm has never been profitable, and Roy has never paid Social Security taxes. So, Roy is not eligible for any Social Security or Medicare.

I am encouraging Roy to get a job and

start paying into Social Security. If he did that, how long would he have to work to qualify for Social Security and Medicare?

curity?

A:

There is nothing you can do. But by

the same token, there is nothing your son can do to prevent his first wife from collecting Social Security benefits on his account. Federal law says if she meets the eligibility criteria, she will collect spousal benefits. In a nutshell, those rules say she must be at least 62 years old and not due higher Social Security benefits on her own record.

Assuming she has worked and has been paying into Social Security herself, my hunch is that her own retirement benefit will be more than what she could get as a divorced spouse on your son’s record while he is alive. But if he dies first, this first wife will probably get higher divorced widow’s benefits on his account.

Our son is almost 66. He says he

plans to take his Social Security in the next couple months. He’s had a string of marriages. He’s on wife number four. We always liked his first wife the best. To this day, we are still friends with her. But our son certainly isn’t!

They were married for 25 years and have two grown children (our only grandchildren.) She never remarried after our son divorced her.

He says he will do whatever it takes to keep her from getting any of his Social Security.

We think he is being totally unreason able. Is there anything we can do to help this nice woman get some of our son’s Social Se-

(Answers on page 16)

A:

Well, he certainly has every right to

apply for Social Security disability. He would get those benefits if he has worked and paid taxes in five out of the last ten years, and if he has a physical or mental condition that is so severe it would be expected to keep him from working for at least a year.

He should call the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213 to get the ball rolling.

Answers to YOUR Financial, Medicare and Health Insurance questions.

by

Doug Wright, Wright Health Wright Capital Insurance Agency Group, Inc.

Medicare Part D Plan Changes for 2020 How will these new Medicare Part D changes impact your benefits for 2020?

But make sure that you don’t use a debt settlement company that claims to settle all your debt or cut it in half for a fee without counseling.

Most of these companies use deceptive practices and will only leave you more in debt than you already are.

The CMS “Part D Benefit Parameters for Defined Standard Benefit” is the minimum allowable Medicare Part D plan coverage.

However, CMS does allow Medicare Part D plans to offer a variation on the defined standard benefits (for example, a Medicare Part D plan can offer a $0 Initial Deductible).

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: My husband and I are both 66. After some major financial losses we have fallen behind on our mortgage payments. We have also accumulated quite a bit of credit card debt over the past few years.

by Anne McCollam

Toy Plane Is the Bomb Q:

This Hubley metal toy plane with the original box was a gift to me around 1960, and it is in mint condition. It is a Navy Fighter Bomber, model 495.

Delinieres and Co. established their decorating workshop around 1881.

A:

Remy Delinieres was the chief op erating officer of Delinieres and Co. in Limoges, France in 1879. In the beginning, they produced whiteware. They established their decoration workshop after 1881. In 1890, the company became L. Bernardaud and Co.

You are correct; you have a set of soup bowls. They were made between 1891 and 1900.Individual bowls would probably be worth $15 to $25.

* * * Hubley Manufacturing was located in Lancaster, Pennslyvania.

Marked on the plane are the words “Hubley Kiddie Toy -- Lancaster, PA -- Made in U.S.A.” On the box are words that state the plane has a transparent sliding canopy, folding wings, a moveable prop and retractable landing gear. Also on the box are the words “Hubley Manufacturing of Lancaster, Penna.”

The length from the tip of the wing to the other tip is around 11 inches. From the nose to the tail is over 9 inches. The cockpit and the nose are both red. On each wing is a star framed by red, white and blue stripes.

All pieces are original, and none have been replaced. It really is in excellent condition. I would like to know what its current value might be.

Your die cast plane was inspired by

World War II P-47 planes. Hubley Manufacturing was founded in 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by John Hubley. They made bookends, doorstops, and toy metal cars, planes, trucks, tractors, cap guns, motorcycles and sidecars. Many of their vehicles and planes were scale models. In the 1960s, Hubley introduced their Kiddie Toy line.

By 1969, Hubley was in financial duress, and the company was taken over by Gabriel Toys.

In 1980, CBS Toys Co. took over the company. They

One of the easiest places to develop awareness of clubface control is in the takeaway. You may have seen dozens of players stopping their takeaway waist high, looking for some secretive orientation known only to the golfing gurus of the lands.

Since most golfers are looking for an easy answer at this step or stage of the swing, let’s just say when the clubshaft is parallel to the ground in the takeaway the clubface is tilted in an angle similar to the spine. The leading edge should not be vertical nor horizontal at this point, but slightly down tilted like our posture’s angle.

The Natural Laws of Golf The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors.

Information in the Tidbits® Paper is gathered from sources considered to be reliable but the accuracy of all information cannot be guaranteed.

The left wrist could flatten slightly from its address position to achieve this orientation, or the arms can have minimal rotation in this phase as well. Either way, you can stop and check this ADVERTISING PROOF position over and over again until it feels more Finalnatural.
