What if my Homeowner’s Association says you can’t have solar?

With the Solar Rights Act of 1978, no HOA can prohibit solar from being installed. They also can’t require changes to the proposed layout that will decrease your production by more than 10% or cost you more than $1000 for items such as parapets.

Okay, then what’s next if I move forward?

First, your solar company should get in touch with your Homeowner’s Association if you have one, and get their forms in order to prepare the paperwork they require to approve your system. Depending on how often your HOA meets, this part of the process can take anywhere from one week to more than a month. Once your HOA has approved your request, engineering paperwork along with the HOA approval is submitted by your solar company to your city.

What happens for the city to approve my solar?

Some cities are more solar friendly and can process your paperwork within 7-10 working days. Other times, depending on the complexity of the project and municipality, this portion of the process can take anywhere from one to 45 days.

start your benefits at 62. Before I go over your options, I must explain some general rules about benefits payable to children and spouses. Your daughter will be eligible for benefits on your record until she is 18 years old. Your wife is also due benefits as the mother of your minor child. However, her benefits end when your daughter turns 16. And there is one other general rule you need to understand. Each dependent is due an amount equal to 50 percent of your age 66 rate. However, the law sets a limit as to how much money can be paid to a family with children on any one Social Security record. The rules involving this socalled “family maximum” rate can get a little convoluted. But for the purposes of this column, I’m going to use the most common numbers and say that the most that can be paid on your record is 150 percent of your age 66 rate. So now let’s look at the number and your options.

YOUR

months, or $33,000. That means the total benefits you will get between 62 and 66 is $151,800.

Option Two: You wait until age 66 to claim benefits. You would start getting $2,200 per month. It sounds to me like your daughter will be 17 when by Tom Margenau you turn 66. So she will get benefits for one year at $1,100 per month. This means that for the first year you will get $3,300 per month, or $39,600. After that, only you will be getting benefits. In other words, after that first year, you will get $2,200 per month, or $26,400 per year. The obvious point is that if you take Option Two, you will be throwing away the $151,800 in benefits payable in Option One between 62 and Most people are correct to think that they 66. And to be just a little more precise, we have to will be ahead financially to wait until age 66, or maytake into account the difference in benefits under be even until age 70, to claim their Social Security both options for that one year after age 66 until benefits. But for that small cadre of retired folks your daughter turns 18 and goes off the rolls. In who still have minor children at home, the addition Option One, you get $33,000 in benefits and in Opof those dependents to the Social Security account tion Two, you get $39,600 -- or an extra $6,600. So can make for a whole different perspective on when Option One: You take benefits at age 62.

Seniors Who Snore: A Common but Correctible Problem

For primary snoring or mild to moderate sleep apnea, an oral appliance that fits into the mouth like a retainer may be prescribed. This shifts the lower jaw and tongue forward, keeping the airway open.

Also check out Nora (smartnora.com), a wireless snoring device that slides under the pillow and gently moves the head to a different position when snoring is detected.

Could you provide any information on the value and histor y of the china?

by Anne McCollam

Spinet Desks Were Made in Early 1900s

The letter “M” in the wreath represents the Morimura brothers. They produced china in Japan around 1876 and established retail offices in New York City. In 1904, they founded Nippon Toki Kaisha Ltd. in Noritake, Japan, which was located near Nogoya, Japan, on the island of Honshu. The area was teeming with both rich clay and also talented potters. The Morimura brothers imported china to the United States and provided blanks for decorating firms. The mark you provided was used from 1933 to 1953. Many Noritake china sets were brought back to the U.S. by men serving in the military in the 1950s. Values for these sets are modest. Your service for 12 would probably be worth $250 to $500.

I was told the desk seen in this photo is a piano desk. The top lifts up to reveal a flat writing surface, a drawer and shelves. When closed, the top is flat and can be used as a table. It stands about 32 inches tall, is 32 inches long and 18 inches deep. I’m not sure what wood was used. The finish is original. We have a chair with a rush seat that has always been used with the desk. Neither the desk nor the chair has a manufacturer mark. I hope you can provide some information on the histor y, age and value of both pieces.

Many Noritake china sets were purchased by military men serving in Japan in the 1950s.

Box 247, Notre Dame, IN 46556. Items of a general interest will be answered in this column. Due to the volume of inquiries, she cannot answer individual letters.

* On March 23, 1839, the initials “O.K.” are first published, in The Boston Morning Post. Meant as an abbreviation for “oll korrect,” a popular slang misspelling of “all correct,” its popularity exploded when it was picked up by politicians. * On March 21, 1871, journalist Henry Morton Stanley begins his search through Africa for missing British explorer Dr. David Livingstone, who had been gone for six years. Reaching Lake Tanganyika, Stanley spotted a white man in the crowd and famously asked, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” * On March 25, 1933, President Herbert Hoover accepts the newly commissioned USS Sequoia as the official presidential yacht. The Sequoia would go on to serve eight U.S. presidents. Previously, the Department of Commerce had used it as a decoy to catch Prohibition lawbreakers. * On March 22, 1947, in response to fears about communism in the United States, President Harry Truman issues an executive decree establishing a sweeping loyalty investigation of federal employees. Loyalty boards were to be set up in every department and agency of the federal government.

Twentieth-century spinet desks were inspired by early 19th-century desks that were converted from small pianos.

You have a spinet desk that was made some time between 1920 and 1940. The design was inspired by small colonial pianos or harpsichords. They are also referred to as ladies’ desks or writing desks. In the early 1800s, when spinet piano or harpsichord wires wore out, the frames were gutted and converted to desks, thus the name spinet desk. Many similar desks in the early 1900s were made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As a rule, they were made of mahogany, walnut or maple. Your early 1900s spinet desk would probably be worth $150 to $250.

Enclosed is a picture of the mark that is on a set of porcelain dishes. I purchased it in Japan when my husband was stationed there in 1953. It is a ser vice for 12. Including the ser ving dishes, there are a total of 93 pieces. On the packing box are the words “Nippon-Toki-Kaisha, Ltd. -- Manufacturers of Noritake China.” The dishes are decorated with pastel wildflowers against a white background, and the edges are trimmed in gold.

* On March 24, 1955, Tennessee Williams’ play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” opens in New York. The play would win Williams his second Pulitzer Prize, following “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1947. * On March 26, 1987, responding to a 911 call, police raid the Philadelphia home of Gary Heidnik and find a veritable torture chamber where three women were chained to a sewer pipe. Heidnik helped inspire the Buffalo Bill character in Thomas Harris’ “Silence of the Lambs.” * On March 20, 1995, several packages of deadly sarin gas are set off by the Aum Shinrikyo cult in the Tokyo subway system, killing 12 people and injuring over 5,000. Sarin originally was developed in 1938 in Germany as a pesticide. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.Sarin

STAN SMITH’S TENNIS CLASS

Three Right Hands Ben Hogan had written in his Five Fundamentals book that he wished he had three right hands in his downswing, yet I see many amateurs fighting the right hand’s use in their own games. What did Hogan mean when he wanted to use his right hand so forcefully? The secret lies in the way the right hand moves from the top of the swing down into impact. The right wrist should load into a flexed position by the top of the swing. When the forward swing starts, the right wrist may even go into a more flexed position as the right elbow goes into the side of the body. The most challenging part is striking the ball with the right wrist still slightly bent. This implies the grip end is leading the clubhead into impact. When the right hand stays loaded like that, power is reserved and spent at the maximum time, thus Hogan wished he could apply the right hand’s influence three times over. He likened it’s action to throwing side arm like an infielder. Still great advice 60 years later!
