Are Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez going to get married anytime soon? I thought they would have been wed by now. -- F.L.

search, I found many complaints online about this issue long after the sun has gone down. “Game of Thrones” and “Walking Dead” fans have been the most vocal, angry that pivotal scenes were so dark they couldn’t make out some of the characters or what room/location they were in from take to take. As television has gotten more cinematic, technology doesn’t seem to be able to keep up. The contrast that would be easier to decipher on a big movie screen doesn’t translate well to our living rooms. I did find a very informative article in “Consumer Reports” about some adjustments you might be able to make to your TV set at www.consumerreports.org/tvs/game-of-thrones-tv-settings-darkepisodes/. Good luck! *** I really miss Sophia Bush on “Chicago P.D.” I don’t think the show is the same without her. Is there a chance she’ll come back? -- E.M.

Vol. XVI Issue 12

stated that she was giving them 23 episodes’ notice that she would be leaving “if something really drastic doesn’t change.” Rumor has it that co-star Jason Beghe displayed some inappropriate behavior on the set, but Bush remained tightlipped about why she was exiting. She simply said she knew she “couldn’t do that job anymore.” Even though a return to “Chicago P.D.” doesn’t seem likely, you might enjoy her next project, a CBS medical drama titled “Good Sam.” It’s still in the preproduction stages, and the rest of the cast hasn’t been announced, but I would bet it’ll be ready by the fall 2020 season. * * *

else?

A: Panels differ from each other in terms of efficiency, or how well they can take the light that hits them and makes it into electricity. They also differ in wattage, meaning how much power each panel can produce. A watt is simply a unit of measurement for electricity. Q:Excellent! What else should I

A: Let’s just touch on battery storage. Your solar has to shut off when the grid goes down in a power outage, but with a battery your solar system powers your home and then sends any extra back into your battery. Then when the solar isn’t producing energy at night, the battery can power a few things like your garage door opener, refrigerator, some sockets for Wifi and even a small air conditioner for about ten hours. Then it recharges the next day and the cycle repeats. With three batteries you can usually power just about everything. You can also use electricity from the battery in the early evening when electricity is still expensive to buy but the solar isn’t producing any, so you can enjoy even extra savings. There are also rebates and tax credits for batteries, depending on how many you purchase. Financing is also available through Renova for less than $3/day. 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

When Irish immigrants first came to America, they chose corned beef -- a type of salt-cured brisket -- and cabbage because it was a cheap and effective way to feed their family. While corned beef wasn’t common in Ireland, it was the closet alternative to bacon, which was extremely expensive in America at the time.

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Sometimes a Woman Can Switch From Her Own to Spousal Benefits Many women are constantly sending me emails complaining that they think they should be getting some extra spousal benefits to supplement their own smaller Social Security check. They reason that their benefit is smaller than half of their husband’s rate, so they should get the difference. However, they are almost always being paid correctly, because what they fail to take into account is the fact that they started their benefits at age 62 -- and by doing that, they do NOT get the normal 50% spousal rate. It will be closer to about 35%. Here is a typical example: Juan gets $1,500 in retirement benefits. His wife, Maria, gets $600 on her own retirement account. Maria thinks she should get another $150 in spousal benefits to take her up to half of Juan’s check, or $750. But Maria took benefits at age 62. That means she is only due 35% of Juan’s rate, or $525. Her own $600 is more than her $525 spousal benefit, so she isn’t due anything on Juan’s account (while he is alive). She would be due a higher widow’s check after he dies. But that’s a story for another column. Today I am talking about benefits to spouses of a living husband. But there are situations where a wife can take reduced retirement benefits on her own record and then later switch to higher benefits on her husband’s account. This almost always happens when the husband files for benefits years after the wife files for her own. And the following question is a typical example of that scenario.

Page 11

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

Then in five years, when you turn 66 and file for their wives. But times are changing, and there are more your benefits, she still can file for spousal benefits. The reduction she took in her own retirement and more scenarios where a wife makes as much checks will carry over to her spousal rate. Here is as, if not more than, her husband. And when that roughly how they will figure out what she is due. happens, they should know that all Social Security They will take her full retirement age benefit rate laws are gender neutral. The same rules about benof $1,000 and subtract that from one-half of your full efits, including benefits for spouses, apply to womretirement age rate of $2,800, or $1,400. So, $1,400 en and men. So, in your case, once you and your wife deminus $1,000 leaves $400. And that becomes her cide to start collecting Social Security, you will be spousal benefit that will be added to her reduced retirement rate. So, she will start getting $1,150 per paid your own small retirement benefit first. And month in total benefits after you turn 66. ($750 plus then they will look to your wife’s record and supplement your own check with whatever husband’s $400 equals $1,150.) Now let’s compare the two scenarios. benefits you are due on her account. In your option, your wife does get an extra $250 I am 62. My husband is 57.

Although I did work part time over the years, so I will be due a small Social Security benefit on my own. We are both about to turn 60, and Social Security is now on our radar. Will I be due any benefits on my wife’s Social Security record?

Yes, you will. And I’m sorry I don’t make this clear more often. It’s just that Social Security Administration statistics show that 95% of benefits paid to spouses go to women. So almost all my questions about such benefits come from women or from men inquiring about benefits for

My wife is about to turn 62. I am 61. She is eligible for a small Social Security check on her own record. And she wants to file for those benefits now. But I think she is wrong. If she takes her reduced retirement check now, she won’t be able to get half of mine later on. So, I think she should wait five years, until I turn 66, when I plan to sign up for my much higher Social Security benefit. Then she will get half of my benefit. So, am I right? Or is my wife right?

I think your wife is right. And the only way I can explain it to you is with examples. You didn’t give me any benefit amounts. So, I will make up some numbers. Let’s say your wife’s full retirement age benefit rate is $1,000. By filing at age 62, she will get 75% of that, or $750 per month. Further, let’s say your full retirement age benefit will be $2,800. Now we’ll follow your advice first. That means your wife does nothing now. In five years, when you turn 66, you will start getting $2,800 per month. Then your wife will file for spousal benefits and she will get 50% of your benefit, or $1,400 per month. (Actually, she would be paid her own $1,000 retirement check and then she would get $400 in spousal benefits to take her up to the $1,400 spousal rate.) And now look at what your wife wants to do. She wants to file for her benefits now, meaning she will start getting $750 per month right away.

Tidbits of Coachella Valley cedure is yet another option for men with symptoms of an enlarged prostate. The procedure does involve the placement of small implants. The procedure is said to be easy to perform (easy for a urologist, that is), and improves quality of life and measures of urinary flow. In a study of 206 men, none developed sexual troubles after the procedure. It has significant benefits over traditional surgery: Recovery is faster and has less risk of sexual side effects, but traditional surgery improved urinary flow and complete bladder drainage more than the urethral lift procedure. Also, 14% of men who had the lift procedure needed the traditional surgery within five years. The implants seem to be safe and do not affect the ability to do surgery if necessary. I wouldn’t recommend this procedure nor a surgical procedure -- or even an alternative procedure like laser, microwave, plasma vaporization or water vapor ablation -- without a trial of prescription medication first. Most men do very well with an alpha blocker like tamsulosin (Flomax), a dihydrotestosterone blocker like dutasteride (Avodart), or a combination of the two. I’m not sure you have tried that. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Simple question: Why can’t I hear well when I am having a big yawn? Is this normal? -- J.C.A.

New Option to Treat Enlarged Prostate

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 66-year old male who is healthy with a very active life, both physical and sexual. Like many men my age, I have an enlarged prostate that my doctor monitors during annual visits. It doesn’t impair my life, with the small exception of being annoying (waking up nightly to a weak or slow urinating stream), and it doesn’t bother me too much during the day, except once in a while when I have to urinate a little more often than usual. Every now and then I’ll try an over-the-counter prostate supplement, but they never work. I will NOT go for a surgery because it’s not really necessary. I just read about a new revolutionary treatment option called a prostatic lift device, which is supposed to “lift and remove the prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra (the passageway that the ANSWER: This is normal; in fact, it’s a urine flows through).” It says, “Tiny implants universal finding with a yawn that hearing deare placed to hold the tissue in place, like creases (but doesn’t go away entirely).

VETERANS  POST  by Freddie Groves

Stand Downs Offer Help for Homeless Veterans Do you need Stand Down services? Or are you willing to help create successful events for homeless veterans? Even though parts of the country aren’t quite out of winter weather, annual Stand Downs are gearing up. As spring and summer fully arrive, the number of events will increase. Stand Downs, which last from one to three days, provide a long list of services, all in one location. Legal assistance, haircuts, personal care supplies, counseling on Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, clothing, information about housing, dental screenings ... they offer all this, usually right at one of the VA facilities across the country. Counseling is available as well for mental health concerns, plus substance abuse, health care information and referrals, and much more. Perhaps you don’t need the services but can offer your help instead, especially if you’re a member of a veterans’ group. Great. Contact organizers in your area and volunteer. They’ll need drivers, set up helpers, donations of personal care items, you name it. Ask what you can do. If you plan to go to a Stand Down to access services, bring your DD-214 or its equivalent, plus your VA medical card if you have one. If you need a way to get there, sign up for transportation in advance. If you need housing services, or if you are homeless now and there is no Stand Down coming up in your area, contact National Coalition for Homeless Veterans [www.nchv.org] at 1-877-4243838. If you have a housing emergency (you’re about to be homeless), you can call 24/7. Visit its website and look through the drop-down menu across the top. To see the list of Stand Downs in your area, go to www.va.gov/homeless/events.asp and scroll down the page. You’ll see the location, as well as two contacts with email and phone numbers for each one. * * * Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot person-

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Do kidney problems run in families? My mother died from kidney failure 10 years ago at age 74 but was not aware that she even had a kidney problem until it was too late. --Just Turned 60 Dear Just Turned: Anyone who has a family history of kidney disease, or who has high blood pressure or diabetes is at increased risk and needs to have their kidneys tested. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, around 37 million U.S adults have chronic kidney disease (when the kidneys can’t properly do their job of cleaning toxins and wastes from the blood), and millions more are at risk of developing it, yet most people don’t realize it. That’s because kidney disease develops very slowly over many years before any symptoms arise. Left untreated, the disease can eventually require people to spend hours on a dialysis machine every week or undergo a kidney transplant. Even mild kidney problems can double a person’s risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as cause anemia and bone disease. The reason kidney disease has become so widespread today is because of the rise of obesity, type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure TUES., APRIL 24 which all strain the kidneys.

Control your blood pressure: If you have high blood pressure, get it under 130/80. If you need medication to do it, ACE inhibitors and ARBs are good choices because of their proven ability to protect the kidneys.

Anything you can tell me about the maker, vintage and value will be greatly appreciated.

Without a manufacturer’s mark or label, it can be impossible to identify the maker. Many similar oak pieces were made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Your book shelf was made around

The set was given to me at least 40 years ago and is still in perfect condition. Both pieces have no cracks, chips or crazing. I hope you can provide information on the histor y and value of my set.

Your wash bowl and pitcher set was made around 1900 and would probably be worth $75 to $175.

STAN SMITH’S TENNIS CLASS

would probably love to have their avoidance percentage be lower than 20%. Practicing lag putts is a simple matter of tying the visuals of distance to the feels of stroke speed and length. For many golfers, this may require looking at the target during practice time in order to get a better recognition system built for later on the course. I’ve always felt that great lag putters could hold a visual image of where the hole was in the mind’s eye those few seconds before taking the stroke. By looking at the hole in practice, you may become more aware of what you’re seeing with how hard you need to hit it.
