• The only known instance of turtle-napping occurred in 1978 in Brooklyn. A 75 lb. show turtle named Little Rock was snatched from his motel room while his circus owner was gone. The next day, the owner received a ransom demand of $650. He was particularly concerned because the turtle suffered from a sinus condition and required daily steam baths to keep his nasal passages clear. Two detectives hid out at the drop-off spot, and arrested a woman who came to collect the money. She led them to the turtle, who was suffering a severe sinus attack. Four more people were arrested in connection with the turtle-napping. While they were being booked, Little Rock recovered from his sinus condition in the police station shower room.

SOYBEANS: (from page one) • Samuel Bowen took the soybeans that were harvested in the state of Georgia and used them to make soy sauce and soy noodles, patenting the process he used. He presented his knowledge to British monarch King George III and was rewarded with a gift of 200 guineas from the king and a medal from the Society of Arts, Manufacturers, and Commerce in England. However, when Bowen died in 1777, all Western interest in the soybean faded and wasn’t revived for many years.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

By Samantha Weaver

* It was Bulgarian-French philosopher Tzvetan Todorov who made the following sage observation: “We should not be simply fighting evil in the name of good, but struggling against the certainties of people who claim always to know where good and evil are to be found.”

Quick and Easy Breakfast Ideas Everyday CHEAPSKATE

* With Halloween just over, it’s interesting to note that in 16 states, you won’t pay taxes on the candy you buy for trick-ortreaters; for tax purposes, candy is categorized as groceries. Of course, there’s room for debate over what qualifies as candy; breath mints and gum are usually included, along with the obvious -- chocolate bars, hard candies and such. The tax code can get even more detailed than that, though; for instance, in Florida (which taxes candy but not groceries), marshmallows are taxexempt, but marshmallow candies are not.

horses were off like a shot— except for Basic Witness. No amount of prodding by the jockey could provoke him to move. Then the jockey discovered that the horse’s tail was caught in the rear door of the starting stall. Basic Witness was scratched and the money bet on him refunded.

Some Tales About

Horse Racing • In 1896, Prince Edward of Wales attended a race to watch his horse, Persimmon, run. It had rained heavily and the track was extremely muddy. But Persimmon won magnificently, and the Prince left his royal box to congratulate the jockey. On the way across the muddy track, the elastic strap on the bottom of his pants snapped. Undaunted, the Prince simply ripped the elastic off and rolled up his pants legs so they wouldn’t get muddy. The next day, men all over London appeared in public with their pants rolled up. The new style of pants cuffs swept the country and is still popular today.

• Sweet Kiss was the name of an old mare running in the steeplechase at Belmont in 1923. The odds were 20 to 1 against her, but her jockey, Frank Hayes, was hoping for one last victory before they both retired from the racetrack. Sweet Kiss ran flawlessly and ran across the finish line ahead by two lengths. The crowd rushed onto the track to congratulate the jockey—and were bewildered when he failed to sit up in his saddle or acknowledge their applause. That was when week’s they discovered FrankThis Hayes had died during the Special: home stretch. It was the only time in history that a horse has been ridden to victory by a deceased jockey.

In last week’s column, I tried to squeeze in as many concise answers as possible to some of the most commonly asked questions I get. But even keeping my replies short, I still ran out of room. So today, more of the most frequently asked questions and more quick and dirty ... make that quick and clean ... answers.

For reasons I don’t want to see you publish in the newspaper, we are raising our 3-year-old granddaughter. I am 66, and my husband is 71. We each get our own Social Security. Because we have a court order granting us full custody of this child, can she get Social Security benefits on one or both of our accounts?

Probably not. Although there are exceptions, generally the law says that both of this child’s parents must be disabled or deceased before she would be able to claim benefits on Grandma’s or Grandpa’s Social Security record. Having courtordered custody doesn’t change the law. However, if you were to adopt the child, then she might be eligible for some of your Social Security benefits.

I turn 66 next month. When I called to make an appointment to file for benefits at my local Social Security office, I was told the first available appointment was in Januar y! That’s ridiculous. What should I do?

Sneezing When Eating? It’s Fairly Common

ANSWER: I have heard about it, many times, as it is much more common than you might think. It goes by the name of “gustatory rhinitis” (which simply means that your nose gets inflamed on eating). It is classified as a non-allergic rhinitis. It is more common in the elderly, though it can happen at any age.

When Franklin D. Roosevelt was President, there were no televisions. People listened to their radios instead. Roosevelt understood the importance of radio and used it to speak to Americans in what he called “fireside chats.” Roosevelt delivered these short speeches in the evening when more Americans were at home to listen. President Roosevelt gave 30 fireside chats in all, explaining what he was doing in the White House and why. Many Americans listened to the chats and felt like they were part of what was going on at the White House for the first time. Presidents continue to communicate with Americans today through radio, television, the Internet and more. They understand how important it is to let Americans know what is going on in Washington, D.C.
