There are six subspecies of wild turkeys, including the Gallopavo silvestris, or forest turkey, the most numerous of all such birds. The turkey is the only poultry native to North America. • Because domesticated turkeys have been bred to have large breasts and more meat, the birds are top-heavy and unable to fly. However, wild turkeys can fly quite well, as fast as 55 mph, and even roost in treetops at night to avoid predators. The wild birds can also run up to speeds of 25 mph.

“Snowbird” was one of North America’s most played songs of 1970, and earned her an American gold record, another first for a Canadian female. Born in Nova Scotia to a doctor father and a nurse mother, Anne began classical voice lessons at age 15, enduring a two-hour bus ride every Saturday. Yet she chose physical education as her major in college and taught P.E. at a Prince Edward Island high school for a year before giving it up to pursue her musical career. She’s had sales of more than 55 million records, won four Grammy Awards, 26 Juno Awards (Canadian music awards), and three CMA Awards.

Dollars $and $en$e$ By Samantha Weaver

● It was Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdos who made the following sage observation: “Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back.” ● Board games date back at least 5,000 years, when people were playing on a board that looks like an ancestor to backgammon. ● The next time you’re overwhelmed with emotion and find yourself passionately kissing your partner, you probably won’t remember that one word to describe what you’re doing is “deosculation.” ● It was in 1958 that the first stereo phonograph record went on sale. ● The soft drink 7-UP was originally called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda -- and it contained lithium, which is now prescribed to treat manic depression. That ingredient (which continued to be part of the formula until the 1940s) probably helped spur the drink’s success, since 7-UP was introduced just before the Great Depression. The new name was derived from the size of the soda bottle (7 ounces) and “bottoms up,” which is presumably what many people did during the difficult years of the Depression. ● A man in Orange County, California, stole a diamond worth $25,000 and, despite being arrested for the crime, was able to smuggle it into prison with him by swallowing it. He then managed to hide the gem in a shower drain in hopes of retrieving and swallowing it again before his release. All that effort was in vain, however; prison guards found the diamond and returned it to the jewelry shop. ● If you’re using an average brand-new pencil, you’ll be able to draw a line about 35 miles long before running out of lead (though you’ll have to stop for sharpening breaks, of course). *** Thought for the Day: “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” -- Thomas Henry Huxley (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

CRANBERRIES

What would Thanksgiving dinner be without cranberries? Here’s the lowdown on this little fruit, a member of the heaher family. • Cranberries grow on creeping shrubs and vines that are about seven feet long and two to eight inches in height. They flourish in sandy bogs and marshes, requiring at least a ton of vines per acre to plant a bog. The cranberry is one of three fruits native to North America, along with the Concord grape and the blueberry. • Long before the arrival of Europeans to the New World, the Native Americans were using cranberries for food, as a dye for fabrics, rugs, and blankets, and for medicinal purposes. They mixed deer meat with mashed berries to make pemmican, a preservative that kept food edible for long periods of time. The tribes’ medicine man used cranberries in a poultice to draw out poison from wounds.

The Question of a Second Dog A woman called me last week and said, “I have an 8-year-old dog, and I think he’s lonely. Don’t you think he needs a friend?” That depends. If a person is feeling lonely, the holiday season is likely to exacerbate it. But your dog doesn’t know Christmas or New Year’s from the middle of August. For the most part, dogs don’t get lonely, people do. Read between the lines: Her dog is getting older, and she’s anticipating the pain she’ll inevitably feel when he passes. It isn’t uncommon for people to get a second dog to ease that sadness. And isn’t necessarily a bad idea. Necessarily. The good: -- Bringing a puppy into the house can have a rejuvenating effect on the older dog. Puppies are playful and silly, and their exuberance is contagious. -- Young and old dogs can bond, giving the older dog a renewed sense of purpose. -- The dog owner will not have to endure the heartbreaking quiet of a home that used to house a dog. -- Another dog finds a loving and permanent home. The bad? There could be no downside whatsoever. In this case, however, the woman who called wanted a second dog, but her husband didn’t. Neither babies nor dogs make good Band-Aids for a marriage. When I asked her why her husband didn’t want another dog, she told me it was because they’d never trained the one they have now, who is a bit of a mischief-maker. In fact, he had recently devoured a child’s plastic toy, landing him in a veterinary hospital and saddling them with a surgery bill for $8,000. Hubby has a point. It can be hard enough -- and expensive enough -- to live with one untrained dog. Add a new puppy to the mix and you might as well issue a standing invitation to the Hell’s Angels for drinks at your place. Another factor to consider is that your dog may not want a “friend.” Not all dogs enjoy the company of other canines. They are pack animals, yes. But at CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Because I write a weekly column and because it usually takes one or two weeks to compose, edit and get it distributed to newspapers around the country, it’s almost impossible for me to give my readers any real “news” about Social Security. And this was demonstrated once again recently when the Social Security Administration announced the costof-living-adjustment, or COLA, for 2015 Social Security checks. In case you were in an Ebola quarantine unit and missed it, monthly benefits will go up 1.7 percent beginning with the January Social Security checks. That’s now “old news.” But there are other increases tied into the annual COLA adjustment that didn’t make most news stories. I’ll share them here. But first, I must get something else out of the way. Every single time I mention the annual cost of living increase in this column, I am flooded with emails from readers complaining that it is not enough. I have explained countless times in this space how the COLA is computed. But it does no good. People still gripe that they should get more money. So this time, rather than use up half this column explaining a process people don’t want to believe anyway, I am going to refer you to the source. If you want to know how the annual Social Security cost of living adjustment is figured, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/cola. And here is an interesting tidbit about Social Security COLAs that demonstrates the power of the senior citizen lobby in this country and how politicians will bend over backwards to court their votes. The first increase for 2015 will be paid in January. On the surface, that may seem to make sense. But, remember: Social Security benefits are always paid one month in arrears. In other words, the check that comes in January 2015 is actually the payment for December 2014. So why do folks start getting their 2015 COLA increase in their December 2014 Social Security check? Well, you have to go back about 20 years or so. At that time, COLA increases were effective with the month they were due. Had that old law never been changed, people would have been scheduled to get their next COLA increase in their January checks, which would be paid in February 2015. But a couple decades ago, seniors got all in a huff about this. They mistakenly thought they were being cheated out of one month’s COLA because they didn’t get their first increase until February. Rather than simply explain the logistics of the one-month delay in benefits, Congress knuckled under and said that henceforth, COLA increases would be effective with the December payment of the prior year (payable in January of the next). In addition to increases in monthly benefits, there are other changes to Social Security that are

(You actually will get one Social Security COPYRIGHT 2014 CREATORS.COM credit for each $1,220 you earn in 2015. But no one can earn more than four credits per year.) To qualify for retirement benefits, you generally need 40 credits. Fewer credits may be needed to get Social Security disability payments, or for your family members to get survivor benefits if you die. Another annual increase impacts people who are getting Social Security checks but are still working. If you are under 66 years old, there is a limit to how much money you can make each year before your Social Security benefits are reduced. In 2015, you will be able to make $15,720 per year before seeing any reductions. That’s an increase of only $240 above the 2014 limits. For each two dollars you earn above the $15,720 limit in 2015, one dollar must be withheld from your Social Security checks. There is a higher limit for working retirees in the year they turn 66.

People getting Social Security disability benefits get the same 1.7 percent increase as retirees. And there is one other minor change that might impact them. Disability benefits are paid to anyone who is unable to work at a substantial level. This year, the law defines that level as a job paying at least $1,070 per month. In 2015, that threshold goes up to $1,090.

The Bradley and Hubbard Manufactur ing Company was founded by Nathaniel and William Bradley and Walter Hubbard in 1856. They produced clocks and sewing machines. During the Civil War they expanded into making match safes, spring measuring tapes, hoop skirts and flags. Two significant factors occurred around 1859 that impacted the company.
