and amateur scientist named Jacob Schweppe refined Priestley's "bubbling" method by developing the first practical process for manufacturing carbonated mineral water. • Schweppe set up shop in England to sell his product, but he soon found that he was much better at inventing than he was at marketing. It wasn't until Dr. Erasmus Darwin, grandfather • of Charles Darwin, endorsed Schweppe’s carbonated mineral water as a medicinal cureall, that his business finally took off and made Schweppe a wealthy man. He eventually sold his company at the age of 58 and retired. He lived comfortably until his death in 1821, after which he was honored as the "father of soda pop." Today Schweppe’s is owned by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, and the Schweppe’s • brand is distributed around the world. ADVERTISING PROOF

Georgia. Coca-Cola was advertised as being a “wonderful nerve and brain tonic.” Although the earliest mixtures did contain traces of cocaine from coco leaves to enhance the flavor, it was not enough to physically effect the consumer. Despite stories that still circulate today, you would have had to drink a gallon and a half of the drink to get even the slightest effect. In 1905 when the Pure Food and Drug Act required all ingredients be listed on the label, Coke began to remove all traces of cocaine. Because of its negative connotation, they did not like the nick-name “Coke” and tried for years to get people to ask for the product using the full name. Not until 1982 did the company finally give in by proclaiming in their ads that “Coke is it!”

Guth was so angry that he bought the Pepsi Cola Company and started by K selling Pepsi instead. The rivalry between the two colas has been fierce ever since.

1. • Two researchers rigged a taste test at a mall to determine consumer preference between Coke and Pepsi. They asked people to sample cups of soda labeled either Coke or Pepsi, and choose which they liked best. But some cups labeled Coke actually contained Pepsi, and vice-versa.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

Crash Course for College Freshmen

By Samantha Weaver

* It was Kurt Vonnegut, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, who made the following sage observation: “There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope they are organized along the lines of the Mafia.”

All across this great country, college campuses have welcomed a new class of freshman. These young people arrived with a lot of things, but financial literacy® was likely not one of them. by Mary Hunta little time with these If I could spend awesome students, this is what I would attempt to cram into their heads and then pray that it penetrates their hearts:

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

* Greyhounds aren’t just fast; they also have better vision than any other breed of dog.

A BUDGET IS YOUR FRIEND That means you 1) have a written plan for how you are going to spend your money 2) you use that written plan like you would a road map, consulting it often, and 3) you use a site like Mint.com or a pencil and paper to record how you spend every nickel. Sallie Mae has a monthly budget worksheet you can print out to help you estimate your costs and keep expenses under control. Do not attempt to do this keepingtrack thing in your head. You are amazing, but don’t push it!

* The venerable diner saw its peak as a place for a casual meal in the late 1940s, when there were around 7,000 of them across the country. Today there are fewer than 2,000. * Thomas Jefferson was an inventor as well as a statesman, but he refused to take out patents on any of his ideas. He believed that inventions should benefit all of humanity, not just himself. * In January 2018, the City of New York paid 200 formerly homeless people $85 each to pretend to be homeless again for one night. At midnight that night, in order to get an estimate of the city’s homeless population, volunteer canvassers took to the streets, approaching apparently homeless people to ask if they have somewhere to sleep. If a canvasser came across one of the paid “homeless” decoys, that decoy went home. The decoys were, essentially, a check to see how well the canvassers did their job -- and they did it pretty well, it seems, finding 90 percent of the decoys in the course of the night.

GET A FREE CHECKING ACCOUNT It’s not easy these days to find free checking accounts with no strings attached -- no monthly fee, no minimum balance requirement and no minimum deposit. But many banks like U.S. Bank offer free student accounts that fit these criteria. Explore banking options in the city where you will be attending school, or find out if the bank or credit union that your parents already use offers free student accounts and has a branch near the college campus.

Vol. XIV Issue 39

safe way to pay for things. That may be true if you buy things online, but overall it is just not true. I don’t have the time or space to get into a long dissertation on the subject. Just believe me when I tell you that using cash -- currency, greenbacks, dollars, coins -- will simplify your life and keep you from overspending. EAT YOUR FOOD PLAN If you or your parents have paid for the school meal plan, you need to know how many meals are covered and then do something remarkable: actually eat those meals. If you’re eating pizza in your dorm room or driving through Burger King instead, you’re just throwing away money. It might feel cool to spend your money like that now, but you will regret it later. DON’T BECOME A STARBUCKS REGULAR I want to say never, but I’ll compromise a bit on this one. Seriously, the coffee at Starbucks or Coffee Bean or any other trendy coffee house is so expensive it nearly makes me choke. Let your grandparents and others know how much you love Starbucks gift cards. They are anxious to know what they can send to you while you’re away. Then use the gift cards instead of your cash. Think about it: If you spend $3 a day at Starbucks, that’s $90 a month. On coffee. Multiply by nine to see how much you’ll buy in a school year ($810). You don’t want to spend your money that way. Buy an inexpensive coffee maker instead, and make it yourself in your room. BUY USED TEXTBOOKS The cost of new textbooks is going to be so shocking it will make you want to chew your hair. You can cut that cost in half at least by buying used books online or even renting them. KEEP SEARCHING Students who couldn’t secure a scholarship for the fall semester shouldn’t give up hope. Many scholarships have spring deadlines, so continue your search during this school year and next year. Just keep applying.

• Blake Harrison and Mark Sloan work in the music industry and thought it would be cool to integrate the squawks of a Congo African grey parrot named Waldo into their music. Waldo was born in 1991 and reportedly always enjoys listening to heavy metal. With Waldo on vocals, Sloan on guitar, and Harrison on drums, their music has been described as “a jackhammer being ground in a compactor.” • Chris Okon is a cockatiel owner and Hatebeak fan who describes the group’s sound saying, “Hatebeak pecks your eyes out and assaults your ears in a flurry of pummeling riffs and grey feathers that leaves you lying in a vibrating pool of blood,” going on to appreciate the fact that “the artists seem to respect the ancient, raptorreptilian roots of parrots.”

• The album cover for Hatebeak’s first single was a blatant rip-off of Judas Priests’s “Screaming for Vengeance” which quickly earned a ceaseand-desist order. It was reissued with Waldo obscuring most of the original picture. • In 2005 they released their second album “Bird Seeds of Vengeance” performed in conjunction with the band called Caninus whose lead vocals are performed by the barking and growling of two pit bull terriers. This is easily Waldo’s best work, featuring a mixture of hoots, honks, and growls that show off the parrot’s vocal versatility.

It Happened So Fast For every adult who resides with both a dog and a child under the same roof, I have four words: It happened so fast. But they are not my words. They are the words of Jesse Browning, whom you might know from The History Channel’s “Ax Men” reality show. He used them to describe the incident that took his four-year-old stepdaughter’s life. Ashlynn Anderson’s mother found her bleeding on the family’s front lawn near Astoria, Ore. One of the family’s Rottweilers was standing next to her. The little girl was seriously wounded and did not survive the Life Flight to Oregon Health and Science University Hospital in Portland. She died of loss of blood and injuries sustained during a dog attack. A while back, the Brownings were a threeRottweiler family. But one of the dogs reportedly bit an adult family member and was subsequently euthanized. On the day Ashlynn was mauled, two Rottweilers and a Labrador were in the fenced back yard and she was alone in the front yard. It is not clear how one of the dogs got loose or what triggered the attack. Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin said, “Apparently, the dog just snapped.” I recently took two calls about aggressive dogs. The first was from a woman who adopted a dog six months ago. The dog recently bit her friend. But, she told me, for the first six months he showed no signs of being a biter. He would just “growl and snarl and lunge and stuff.” The second call was from a mother whose dog had just bitten her daughter’s friend. She, too, said her dog had never shown signs of aggression. She summed up the dog as being primarily a backyard dog that had never been socialized. I asked her whether they walk the dog. She said no. I asked her how the dog reacts when people come over to the house. “Hackles up, tail down.” She basically described a dog that could easily be triggered to bite. Then I got this e-mail from a reader: “Six months ago, we got Rocco from an abusive home. He was three. He barks at a knock at the door and at the doorbell. He barks and growls when anyone walks down the hall toward Casey's Corner: Turn to page 10

Flu Season Is Coming Fast Beware! Flu season is just around the corner ... again. Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a few things are new this year. Topping the list -- the vaccines have been adjusted to better match the viruses that are circulating. Fluzone High-Dose is the one made for seniors over the age of 65. The vaccine contains four times the regular dose because we need help with developing a stronger immune response. What’s concerning is that the high dose for seniors contains only three vaccines, not four. The shot has vaccines for A/Michigan, A/Singapore and B/Colorado. Regular quadrivalent (fourway) vaccines, also protect against B/Phuket.

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9)

Another curiosity: While the CDC says the high dose is approved for people age 65 and older, they have not specifically stated a preference for any vaccine for that age group.

been “stolen and used for other government purposes.” Here are the facts: Every day, almost 2 billion dollars in Social Security payroll taxes are funneled into the government. So what happens to that money? I guess the blogger thinks it should be buried under a mattress! That’s silly, of course. Just like any other pension system, Social Security money is invested. And because we are talking about trillions of dollars, the money cannot be invested in the private markets. (Would you really want the U.S. government owning half of Wells Fargo or Apple or Philip Morris?) Instead, every nickel of that money is invested in U.S. Treasury bonds. And those bonds earn the prevailing rate of interest. (For those who really want to know the nitty-gritty of these investments, go to http://www.socialsecurity.gov and under the “Menu” option, click on “Actuarial Resources.”) Millions of Americans have their money invested in government bonds. Do they think the government is stealing their money? Of course not. They know the government is using their money

NSAIDs can affect the kidneys, causing both acute and chronic kidney failure, but only in a few percent of people. Periodic blood and urine examination is appropriate for people who are on long-term NSAIDs. The risk of heart disease among people who use NSAIDs regularly is increased, but in people without known heart disease, the risk is small -- about one bad event, such as heart attack, stroke or episode of heart failure, per thousand people taking the medication for a year.

Choosing a Continuing Care Retirement Community DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Can you give me some tips on picking an all-inclusive residential retirement community that offers independent housing along with assisted living and nursing care? My husband and I are looking to downsize and simplify, but we want our next move to be our last. --Approaching 80 Dear Approaching: If you want your next move to be your final one, an all-inclusive retirement community – also known as a continuing-care retirement community (or CCRC) – is a great option to consider, but be aware that they aren’t cheap. CCRCs are different from other types of senior housing because they provide all levels of housing, services and care in one convenient and common community location. While they vary greatly in appearance and services, most CCRCs offer apartments or sometimes single-family homes for active ADVERTISING PROOF independent seniors.

But be aware that all these services come at a hefty price. Most communities have entry fees that range from the low to mid-six figures, plus ongoing monthly fees that can range from around $2,000 to over $4,000 depending on the facility, services provided, and the contract option you choose.

by Anne McCollam

Chair Has Been in Same Family for Generations Q:

Enclosed is a photo of an antique wicker chair that I have. On the back of the chair is a metal tag with the words “J. B. Van Sciver Co.” We think the chair has been in our family since the 1920s or early 1930s, and it is in amazingly good condition. What can you tell us about its maker, age and value?

Joseph Bishop Van Sciver, a Dutch American, founded his furniture company in 1881 in Camden, New Jersey. He began with a small shop that he soon outgrew. He expanded into a larger factory, added storage warehouses and opened showrooms in several Pennsylvania cities. He soon welcomed his sons into his successChair is marked with a “J. B. Van Sciver Co.” metal tag. ful business. The Van Scivers had a fleet of delivery wagons that delivered furniture to Pennsylvania and South Jersey. They made a variety of styles, from contemporary to colonial. By the early 1960s, the company experienced a financial decline, and it finally closed in 1984. Your wicker chair would probably be worth $100 to $150. *** I have drawn the mark that is on the bottom of my pitcher. I’m not sure I have the correct spelling. It has been in my family since my grandmother’s time or earlier. It is approximately 14 inches tall, and the base is 7 inches wide. My mother said the portrait

You have a Rozane tankard made by Roseville Pottery Company. George Young founded Roseville Pottery Company in Roseville, Ohio, in 1892. The pottery produced utilitarian ware and quickly outgrew the factory. In 1998, Young moved his operations to a larger facility in Zanesville, Ohio. Rookwood Pottery Company and Weller Pottery Company were successfully producing innovative art pottery. Rozane ware was made by Roseville Pottery Company.

Young, not one to pass an opportunity to grow, made the decision to develop an art pottery line. In 1900 he introduced Rozane ware that was designed to seriously compete with Rookwood and Weller. Rozane’s name combined the first two letters of Roseville and first four letters of Zanesville, thus Rozane. Rozane pieces were decorated with animals, Native American portraits, nature and portraits. Most glazes were dark and finished with high-gloss glazes. From around 1900 to 1924, the Rozane line included Royal, Mongol, Egypto, Mara and Woodland. Many pieces are signed by the artist/decorator. The number included with your mark “855” is a tankard shape/model number. The tankard shape was decorated with several different motifs. Your tankard was made around 1914. The value seen on the internet covers a huge range, from $300 to $950. * * *

* On Sept. 30, 1889, the Wyoming state convention approves a constitution that includes granting women the right to vote. Admitted into the union the following year, Wyoming became the first state to allow its female citizens to vote. * On Sept. 29, 1907, Gene Autry, perhaps the greatest singing cowboy of all time, is born in Tioga, Texas. While Autry was no cowboy, he was, at least, a genuine Westerner who had lived on a ranch. Autry was one of America’s most popular movie stars in the 1930s and ‘40s, appearing in almost 100 films. * On Sept. 28, 1918, a Liberty Loan parade in Philadelphia prompts a huge outbreak of a flu epidemic that would leave an estimated 30 million people dead worldwide. The 1918 flu pandemic likely originated with a bird or farm animal in the American Midwest. * On Sept. 26, 1945, Lt. Col. Peter Dewey, a U.S. Army officer, is shot and killed in Saigon by the Viet Minh, who thought he was French. Dewey was the first of nearly 59,000 Americans killed in Vietnam. * On Sept. 25, 1965, the Kansas City Athletics start ageless wonder Satchel Paige in a game against the Boston Red Sox. The 59-year-old Paige, a Negro League legend, gave up only one hit in his three innings of play. * On Sept. 24, 1988, Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson runs the 100-meter dash in 9.79 seconds to win gold at the Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Three days later he tested positive for steroids and was stripped of the medal. * On Sept. 27, 1999, operatic tenor Placido Domingo makes his 18th opening-night appearance at the Metropolitan Opera House, breaking an “unbreakable” record previously held by the great Enrico Caruso, who died in 1921.

Soda Pop (from page page 3) tended to choose whatever soft drink was in the cup marked Coke. Likewise, those who favored Pepsi would choose whatever had been poured in the Pepsi cup. • An independent firm using unbiased scientific methods found that 51.7% of people in a taste test preferred Pepsi, while 41.7% preferred Coke. Those with no preference totaled 6.6%. Because of this survey, Coke changed their formula, making it taste just a little more like Pepsi. Everybody at Pepsi’s headquarters got the day off to celebrate when, on Coke’s 100th birthday in 1985, they announced they were changing the taste to a “New Coke” formula. The unpopular move was immediately rejected by consumers and proved to be a major marketing disaster. They quickly went back to their old recipe three months later amid much controversy and public scorn. • Coke and Pepsi are not always at odds with each other. They were accused of cooperating in Japan in an attempt to drive Japanese soft drink manufacturers out of business. The Japanese bottlers retaliated by passing out fliers accusing Coke and Pepsi of dissolving teeth. At one point the rivalry became so fierce that Japanese plant workers began slashing tires on Coca-Cola delivery trucks. The issue was finally settled when both Coke and Pepsi agreed together to donate $700,000 to help Japanese bottlers become more competitive.

The lob shot that needs to land softly has been one of the most sought after game changers in amateur golf. While having a high lofted club has made this shot much easier, golfers still struggle with the techniques that top players use with seemingly ease and comfort. The follow through or finish on these floating shots requires the left arm to fold, and the left wrist to hinge while the palm stays facing downward. Just the opposite of what’s desired on a normal full swing. The attempt is to prevent any clubface rotation through impact by preventing the hands and forearms from rotating. The arms must “saw” or appear to retract after impact rather than extending like other pitch shots. Sometimes the grip end will finish closer to your body than its address distance.
