• The fan base continued to grow until auditorium seating again became a problem, so the broadcast relocated to the Hillsboro Theater, a former silent movie venue. This was soon followed by another move two years later to the Dixie Tabernacle.

What about the Federal Tax Credit, like with solar?

Glad you asked! If you get your solar and battery (ies) at the same time, you’re eligible for the 26% Investment Tax Credit on both. If you add energy storage to an existing system, you and your accountant may decide to also apply for the tax credit.

How do I know how many batteries to get?

It will depend on what you want to power if the grid goes down. If you want to power your refrigerator, garage door opener, some outlets for lights. modem and perhaps a small mini split AC, one will work. If you want to cover closer to everything in your home, then you’re probably talking three. Renova can work with you to determine how much you can power for the recommended amount of time overnight.

Good stuff – anything else I We don’t just want to simply satisfy you, should know? We want you to say, “WOW!”

Your battery can also be programmed to discharge at a strategic time each day so it can add to your savings. Local Certified Installer Renova Energy has consultants that can explain everything and help you understand if it’s something you want to explore further. 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. Learn more at

The Decluttering Challenge There’s decluttering by the book, and then there’s realistic decluttering. Too often we follow the experts’ advice and end up unhappy with the result. Clothing styles run in cycles. Pant legs go from wide to skin tight, and shirt hems go up and down. While it’s likely that your fairly new pair of wide leg pants might come back in style soon, the 2-foot wide bell bottoms of the ‘70s probably won’t make a reappearance. You thought you would like that magazine subscription you got two years ago. You read three issues and the other nine are in a stack that keep sliding off the coffee table. All those books you've collected over the years but have never read, and likely never will, are only robbing you of space. Out they go. And what about that coffee table that you threatened to take to Goodwill ages ago because it’s just too big for the room? Is it time to let it go? Or the spare end table your daughter said she wanted? Give her one more opportunity to come get it now. Otherwise -- out it goes.

(from page 9)

If your dog has bitten, expect that he’ll bite again, particularly if he has not received any training to curb the problem behavior. If your dog has shown signs of aggression -- growling, snarling, biting, snapping -- expect that the possibility of aggression is always there, even if he has been professionally trained. Aggression can’t be cured, but it can be curbed. If your dog’s aggression is triggered by specific behaviors or circumstances, expect that aggression to surface whenever those behaviors But the goal, of course, is to unclutter or circumstances are in play.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Politicians Have Not Stolen Social Security Money I give lots of talks about Social Security. I’ve given thousands of them over the past 45 years. And at almost every one of those presentations, inevitably, somebody in the crowd will get up and make a statement that begins with these words: “I’ll tell you what’s wrong with Social Security!” And then they will go off on some rant, spouting lies or halftruths. Lots of times, it’s something they’ve been telling themselves for years. Or more recently, it’s some garbage they picked up on the internet. I don’t mind the bombastic behavior because once I get a chance to respond, it gives me the opportunity to set the record straight. I can tell that many in the audience follow what I am saying and agree with me. But I almost never convince the guy who is on his soapbox. His misplaced beliefs are just too firmly rooted in his psyche. And I even sort of understand that. For example, if you’ve spent your whole life being absolutely convinced that the Earth is flat, and then someone shows you proof that the world is round, it might take a while before that knowledge sinks into your brain. There are countless examples of these “what’s wrong with Social Security” rants. But today, I only have space to cover one of them. And it is, by far, the most common rant of all. It goes like this: “I’ll tell you what’s wrong with Social Security. If politicians had kept their cotton-picking hands off the Social Security trust funds, we wouldn’t have any problems today!” The implication is that presidents, or members of Congress, have stolen Social Security money and used it for other purposes. Many will go a bit further and say, “It all started with LBJ. He took Social Security money and put it in the general funds of the government!” Here are the facts. And let’s start with President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Back in the 1960s, his administration was running up huge deficits because of all the spending on the Vietnam War. But LBJ came up with a clever way to mask that deficit spending. He saw that the government kept a completely separate set of books for the Social Security trust funds. And those funds were running big surpluses. So Johnson, wily and crafty politician that he was, decided to combine the two sets of books. On the one hand, you could say his reasoning made sense. I’m sure he told his staff something like this: “It’s all government money. So we should simply add up all government money together.” On the other hand, he was obviously doing this for one reason only: to use Social Security surpluses to hide his growing Vietnam War deficits. BUT HERE IS THE IMPORTANT POINT EVERYONE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND: All of this budgetary mischief was just bookkeeping tomfoolery. Johnson didn’t take one nickel out of the Social Security trust funds. He merely combined the Social Security books with the general government books on paper. In fact, it’s a practice that continues to this day. In effect, the government keeps two sets of books. One set combines the Social Security funds with the general funds. When politicians want to demonstrate to people that they have the overall

ANSWER: The main job of the bone marrow is to produce the different blood cells: red blood cells to carry oxygen; white blood cells to fight infection and cancers; and platelets to stop bleeding. Diseases of the bone marrow can cause problems by making something abnormal (such as leukemia cells), but also by failing at its job and not making what it is supposed to. Low red cell counts lead to anemia; low white cell counts increase risk of infection; and low platelet counts

Beware of Potential 2020 Census Scams DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: With preparations getting underway for the 2020 national census, I’ve read that there are potential scammers out there who are planning to use this as a cover for taking advantage of older people. I want to be able to protect myself from these schemes. Can you offer some tips to help seniors guard against census scams? --Cautious Judy Dear Judy: Unfortunately, scams have become a persistent problem when the U.S. Census Bureau does its once-a-decade count of the U.S. population. Here’s what you can expect from the 2020 Census in the coming weeks, and how you can protect yourself from potential scams that target our senior population: What to Expect In mid-March, you and nearly every other U.S. household will receive an invitation in the mail to respond to the 2020 Census. This year, you will have the option of completing the 2020 census questionnaire either online, by mail, or by phone. The invitation will include detailed instructions of what you need to do. If you don’t respond to this invitation letter, you will receive several follow-up postcard reminders from the Census Bureau by mail. If you still don’t respond by late April, a census worker will come to your door to collect your response in person. It only takes a few minutes to complete the census questionnaire.

The Census Bureau warns against phishing email scams as well as con artists posing as census workers who will try to solicit your personal financial information for the purpose of thievery.

only ask you the questions that appear on the questionnaire – your name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, phone number, type of residence and number of people living with you. They will not ask for sensitive personal information, such as your Social Security or credit card number.

Gold Coin Was Minted in 1928 Q:

This is a photo of an antique gold coin that I have. It is mounted in an 18-karat gold bezel and has a 16-inch, 14-karat gold rope chain. On one side there is the image of the American eagle with the words “United States of America -- In God We Trust -- 2 1/2 Dollars - E Pluribus Unum.” On the other side is the profile of a Native American in a full headdress, 13 stars and the words “Liber ty -- BLP -1928.” M y grandfather gave it to my m o t h e r Gold coin in bezel was minted in Philadelphia in 1928. when she was a child in 1928. It is in excellent condition. I would never part with it, but I’d like to know more about its histor y and its insurance value.

The Goldscheider family fled Austria during the Nazi invasion.

Goldscheider Porcelain Factory made your figurine. Friedrich Goldscheider founded his factory in Vienna, Austria, in 1855. The design was created by artist Germaine Bouret in the 1930s. Goldscheider Porcelain Factory was taken over by the Nazis during their 1938 invasion of Austria. The surviving members of the Goldscheider family fled to the United States and established a factory in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1940. They made art nouveau and art deco figurines that are sought after by collectors. Your figurine is circa 1938 and might be worth $1,200 to $1,500.

1. Who had a #1 hit in 1961 with the sardonic “Mother-in-Law”? 2. According to the proverb, what is “the mother of invention”? 3. What was the real first name of AfricanAmerican comedienne Moms Mabley? 4. What film actor wanted to Throw Momma from the Train in 1987?

* On March 11, 1918, a U.S. Army soldier reports to the hospital at Fort Riley, Kansas, complaining of cold-like symptoms. By noon, over 100 of his fellow soldiers had reported similar symptoms, marking what are believed to be the first cases in the influenza pandemic of 1918. The Spanish flu would eventually kill 675,000 Americans and up to 50 million people worldwide. * On March 13, 1942, the Quartermaster Corps of the U.S. Army begins training dogs for the newly established War Dog Program, or “K-9 Corps.” * On March 9, 1959, the first Barbie doll goes on display at the American Toy Fair in New York City. Barbie was the first mass-produced toy doll in the United States with adult features. Ruth Handler, co-founder of Mattel, named the doll after her daughter, Barbara.

* On March 10, 1988, disco sensation Andy Gibb dies at the age of 30. With his heart greatly weakened from years of cocaine abuse, Gibb succumbed to an inflammatory heart virus.

Puzzle

* On March 12, 1894, Coca-Cola is sold in glass bottles for the first time. It had been available only as a fountain drink. A bottle of Coke cost 5 cents, and it stayed that way until 1959.

* On March 14, 1967, the body of President John F. Kennedy is moved to a permanent spot at Arlington National Cemetery. The president had been assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963. The gravesite includes a natural gas line with a continuous electronic flashing spark that reignites the flame in case it is extinguished by rain or wind.

The 2 1/2-dollar gold coins were minted in Philadelphia from 1908 to 1929. The letters “BLP” represent Bela Lyon Pratt, the Boston sculptor. He designed the image of the Native American and the American bald eagle. Pratt was born in Connecticut in 1867 and studied his craft with United States Mint coin engraver, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Because the details of the design were indented into the gold, people were concerned that it would harbor germs. It didn’t. The 13 stars represent the 13 original colonies. Your 1928-minted 2 1/2-dollar gold coin should probably be insured in the range of $700 to $1,500. *** FILLER PAGE 2 2Q08 - WEEK 19 MAY 4 - MAY 10

• Each Opry show continues to feature multiple guest artists and Opry members. To become an official Opry member, the artist must first be invited by an existing member, usually during one of the live episodes. Selection is based on the artist’s commercial success, their respect for the history of country music, and a commitment to appear on the program. The artist must agree to appear on at least 12 broadcasts a year in order to remain a member. Failure to comply with the strict rule can result in loss of membership. The members can perform any time they choose. A typical Grand Ole Opry broadcast features between five and seven artists. • If you’re a country music lover interested in hearing a live Opry broadcast, tune into WSM-AM on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, or listen to “Willie’s Roadhouse,” Channel 59 on SiriusXM on Friday and Saturday nights. Listeners can also tune in online at www.opry.com. 

Expanding Man

Steely Dan spoke of the “expanding man” in Deacon Blues as one who is “thinking of all the possibilities of life”. Golf, on the other hand, has another version of the expanding man. This refers to the change of distances in the arms and body as forces are pulling the club out away from them through impact. Golfers start in a given distance from the ball, yet by impact may feel the arms “expanding away” from them. Centrifugal forces in golf are attempting to pull the club away from the body into impact. Players can combat this force in several common ways: 1. Start with the ball on the toe end of the club like Zach Johnson and others. 2. Back away from the ball through impact by standing up or away from the ball. 3. Try feeling the club swing through a space interior of the ball by impact. Usually players prefer ideas one and three, but many golfers do back away from their address posture/position in order to hit the ball more centrally on the clubface. The key is understanding these forces are normal, and if you suffer heel hits, it’s a concern to address.
