* In Nazi Germany it was illegal to name a horse Adolph. * If you grew up with the Girl Scouts decades ago (as I did), you might be surprised to learn about a new badge they’re offering: cybersecurity. Yep, that’s right. The national organization worked with a security company to come up with a curriculum, and now Girl Scouts everywhere can earn a badge for learning about cyberattacks, online safety and computer networks.

GARAGE DOOR SERVICE

Read on and test what you know about these fascinating aquatic creatures. • The word “octopus” is from the Greek, meaning “eight legs.” Grammarian purists say that while the frequently used word “octopi” is considered permissible for the plural form, the preferred, more correct form is “octopuses.” The term octopi is a misuse of the Greek language structure.

• There are more than 300 different species of the octopus, a family of cephalopods, those creatures that possess a set of arms or tentacles. They are invertebrates, meaning they have no backbone, and in fact, are the most intelligent of all invertebrates. Octopuses have been observed using tools, such as coconut shells to hide from predators, and even collect shells to build fortresses around their lairs.

• Octopuses are solitary creatures that live alone. The octopus builds its own den from rocks, moved into place with its arms, and they even devise a door for the den that the octopus can pull closed. • These creatures are fast swimmers, jetting forward by blasting water through muscular tubes called siphons. Because they have no skeleton, they have the ability to alter their body shape in order to squeeze through narrow cracks and crevices between underwater rocks to escape predators.

go solar, so you can lock in a favorable TOU rate for the first five years. You also need to check with an experienced installer like Renova, who understands all the rates and their impacts, and can do things like install a few panels on your west roof so you can generate electricity from solar for as long as possible each day.

Q: What else can I do? A: You can work to limit the amount

of electricity you use during the most expensive times, like washing clothes and dishes at night, and charging your electric car or golf car overnight when rates are the cheapest. You can also do things like program your pool pump to work at night, instead of midday.

Why does everything keep changing with rates?

The utilities are doing what they can to integrate solar into the grid, but solar will still save you good money on your electric bill, and those who add a battery can save even more.

Q: So what should I do? A: You should explore solar now,

so you can get installed before March 2019 and lock in favorable times for five years. With 100% offset of your electricity with a premium panel like SunPower, you will also be well positioned for any future rate structure changes.

Saying Goodbye My pal Idol died last week. He was 11. We humans console ourselves and each other by saying things like, “Well, 11 is 77 in dog years.” True, but that’s a mathematical conversion that does nothing to diminish my pain. It feels too short. Too soon. It feels that way in my heart and in my bones, but it wasn’t. Idol was my big, beautiful boy. Whip-smart, playful and always there for me, it was my turn to go to bat for him. He was suffering from a degenerative spinal disease that left him unable to get up, unable to relieve himself. My wife and I made the decision to end his suffering. It wasn’t easy, but it was right. We knew we were going to do it the next day, and you know tomorrow is going to come, so we said our goodbyes. My wife and I told Idol how much he meant to us, how much he had added to our lives. Did he understand that? Not in our English terms. But he felt our love. He knew. The next day, we drove him to the veterinary clinic. We had discussed the whole thing with the vet beforehand. The procedure was painless. I held Idol’s head in my lap and told him how much I loved him, how much joy he gave me, how much he helped me. And then I cried. Not like a baby, but like a grown man who had just lost his dog. That’s what we do when we lose someone we love. If love could be measured in tears, Idol would be pleased with himself. Then again, what makes dogs so special is that they don’t demand proof of love. They don’t quantify it or keep score or withhold theirs in an attempt to extort ours. They simply give it and give it and give it, never once making the obvious judgment that only a fool would let it go unrealized. I’m proud to know this much of myself: I am no such fool. I can practically track my life through all my dogs. I can think of no milestone or special occasion that was not intrinsically linked to the canines in my life at the time. I’m ever grateful for the albums crammed with pictures of great dogs alongside growing kids, and for the videos that

Real Hope for Back Pain Sufferers in the Coachella Valley Non-Surgical Painless Treatment May Eliminate or Dramatically Reduce Your Pain Caused by Bulging Herniated or Squashed Discs. ... No Surgery ... No Injections ... No Painful Treatments

World’s 1st “FDA Approved” Non-Surgical DeepTissue Laser Treatment pire Spine Center and their program versus surgery. I now have my life back and am again enjoying my retirement. -- David D

Hello, I’m Dr. Robert S. Krage, D.C. Are you in pain? Have you tried eveything to alleviate your pain without success? Are you contemplating surgery? Tried injections? Had surgery but are still in pain? In many cases the operations are necessary for proper health and recovery from an injury. However, I have seen hundreds of patients who received operations they did not need and are still in ridiculous pain. Inland Empire Spine and Disc now offers a modern-day method of pain relief that is proven to be an effective alternative to surgery. ... simply the best for spine and disc -- bar none.

Surgeon Turns Believer

Dr. Robert Murrow, a well known, trusted orthopedic surgeon who had performed over 15,000 surgeries said, “I was suffering from shoulder pain for six months straight with no relief. I heard about laser treatment and after seeing and hearing many of my patients’ stories, I did more research on the topic and found that the doctors and staff now using the LCT-1000® finally have a tool to help people who think that surgery is their only option. I went to get treated with the LiteCure laser and was amazed that it took away all my pain. After six months of misery, I am happy and relieved to say that I am now pain free.”

Are PILLS & INJECTIONS effective, longterm solutions for pain relief? NO WAY!

effects or risks that may occur with other forms of treatment. In addition, it can often achieve results faster than other treatment modalities. During the treatment the patient feels a deep soothing warmth and pleasant sensation that reassures that the laser is activating cells in the healing process immediately!

Inland Empire Spine and Disc treats: • Herniated Disc • Slipped Disc • Disc Degeration • Spinal Stenosis • Numbness in Toes or Fingers • Back or Neck Pain

“My husband and I were very skeptical that anything could help our injuries from more than 25 years ago. In ten short weeks our lives have been transformed from progressive disability to active enjoyment in our retirement years. Dr. Krage has a genuine desire to see each person get better. His approach includes not only decompression and laser, but also muscle work, vitamins, orthotics, and exercises. We now have hope and are motivated to continue these healthy lifestyle changes. My husband and I are now able to do things we have wanted to do but

didn’t think possible, thanks to Dr. Krage.” -- Joan S.

Still Want Satisfaction Guaranteed? In a world of moneyback guarantees, who goes through the hassle getting it back anyway? I’m willing to take it a step further. I’m so confident that you will find relief at Inland Empire Spine and Disc that I’m allowing the first 25 callers to receive two free treatments at our office.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Widows Have Questions About Social Security Q:

I was getting my own Social Security. Then my husband died and they started paying me his Social Security and took away my own. But why did they do that? Aren’t they two separate benefits and I deser ve both?

The law says if you are due two different Social Security benefits, you don’t get them both. You only get the one that pays the higher rate. And if you think about it, the law makes sense. Without it, everyone in the country who is married or who has ever been married would get two full benefits -- their own and something from their spouse. So I would get my own Social Security check and I also would get a husband’s benefit on my wife’s account. And then she would get her own benefit and a wife’s benefit on my account. And then Warren Buffet would get his own retirement check and a husband’s benefit on his wife’s account. And Warren’s wife would get ... I think you see where I’m going with this. If the law allowed everyone to get every benefit he or she is due, the Social Security system would have gone belly up a long time ago. And if it makes you feel any better, you are getting benefits from two accounts. That’s because the rules say if you are due anything on your own record, you will be paid that first, and then get any extra benefits you might be due from your spouse. For example, let’s say your husband’s benefit was $2,000 per month and your own monthly retirement check was $1,600. When your husband died, you kept getting your own $1,600 and then you started getting an additional $400 from your husband’s account to take you up to his $2,000 rate. I know you just get one check for $2,000 per month and you understandably assume you are only getting a widow’s benefit. But again, on Social Security’s books, you are being paid on off of two records.

Page 11

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

paid correctly. And I think I know why you are getting a higher rate than your husband was getting before he died. You were right when you quoted me as saying that a woman over age 66 starts getting a widow’s benefit that equals what her husband was getting at the time of death. But I should have added a qualifier: I should have said she gets that “as a general rule.” And you are an exception to that rule. Here is why. Even though you didn’t say, I bet your husband started taking his Social Security at age 62. That meant he was getting an amount equal to 75 percent of his full retirement benefit. And that would normally be your widow’s rate. But there is a rule that says a widow over age 62 is guaranteed to get at least 82.5 percent of her husband’s full benefit. So that’s why you are getting a little more than your husband.

A: No it won’t. Any Social Security money

paid to an ex-wife is just add-on benefit. It takes nothing away from anything you are due on your husband’s account. So if she dies before you do, nothing will change.

My husband died about six months ago. He was 78. I am 74. I was a stay-at-home mom throughout our marriage. So I don’t have my own Social Security. I was getting a spousal benefit on his record before he died. And after his death, I started getting widow’s benefits. I have read in some of your past columns that when a husband dies, the widow gets what her husband got at the time of death. But I started getting a little more. He got $1,368 when he died. And I am now getting $1,505. Should I be worried that they are paying me too much money and will someday ask for it back?

A: Don’t worry. I’m sure you are being

I’m 80 years old. How come when my husband died last year all I got was the little $255 burial check while all my other widow friends are getting monthly benefits from their dead husband’s account?

Based on the many letters I get, all of them feel like they were the lucky ones to have had their lethal cancer removed -- even if, statistically, most of them were not destined to die from prostate cancer in the first place. Because it is likely that the harms of screening outweigh the benefits, the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force has recommended against prostate cancer screening in general. However, there are certainly cases in which I feel prostate cancer screening (remember that “screening” means that there are no symptoms or signs of cancer) is appropriate, which is why it’s important to have an individualized discussion of the risks and benefits of screening. The booklet on the prostate gland discusses enlargement and cancer. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 1001W, 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803. En-

How to Recognize and Prevent Elder Financial Abuse DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Can you provide some tips on how to protect seniors from financial scams? My 82-year-old aunt was recently swindled out of $25,000 and I want to make sure my own mother is protected. -- Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned: Financial scams that target the elderly continue to be a huge and growing problem in the U.S. In fact, it’s estimated that one in five Americans over age 65 are scammed out of roughly $36 billion every year. Here are some tips that can help you spot a scam, and what you can do to protect your mom. Recognizing a Scam Spotting a scam or a con artist is not always easy to do. They range from shady financial advisers to slick-talking telemarketers to professional caregivers and even relatives who steal from the very people they’re supposed to be caring for and looking after.

Some other tips to protect her include reminding your mom to never give out her personal information, Social Security number or financial information unless she initiated the contact, knows the institution and who she is talking to. Also, see if your mom would be willing to let you sort her mail before she opens it, so you can weed out the junk. To reduce the junk mail and/or email she gets, use the Direct Marketing Association consumer opt-out service at DMAchoice.org. And to stop credit card and insurance offers, use the Consumer Credit Reporting Industry opt-out service at OptOutPrescreen.com or call 888-567-8688. Be aware that they will need to know your mom’s Social Security number and date of birth.

The chair seen in this photo is painted green and has a floral stencil on the back. My grandmother, who was born in 1872, said her mother used to sit on it to diaper and dress all of her 13 children. My grandmother was the youngest of the 13, so this chair is ver y old. It is in ver y good condition. I have no plans to sell it, but I am curious about its age, origin and value.

You have a Victorian spindle-back side chair. This type of chair was often sold in sets of six. The green paint, stenciled top rail, wood plank seat, turned, splayed legs and spindle back have characteristics of both Windsor chairs and Hitchcock chairs. Your chair was made in the United States in the midSpindle-back chair was probably 1800s. originally part of a set of six. I t s value would probably be $125 to $175.

Her gown is decorated with pastel flowers, and the scrolled base she is standing on is decorated with tiny flowers and gold.

Products (from page page 3) Chow. From 1977 to 1983, Ralston Purina was the owner of NHL’s St. Louis Blues, as well as its hometown arena that they christened the Checkerdome. • Back in 1958, Major League Baseball’s Detroit Tigers were unhappy with the poor quality of hot dogs being sold at Tiger Stadium. They hired a Michigan meat-packing company called Hygrade Food Products to come up with a better product. After developing a recipe for a new frank, the company held a contest among its employees to give it a name. Saleswoman Mary Ann Kirk suggested “Ball Park Franks,” and earned $25 and a leather chair for her contribution. • An Ohio schoolteacher visited every major league park in 1985, with the sole purpose of rating their hot dogs, and compiled his findings in a book titled, “Dodger Dogs to Fenway Franks and All the Wieners in Between.” Ball Park franks were easily the winner. Apparently, 95 million consumers agree with him, as evidenced by the company's enviable sales figures. 

Karate-Like Chop Describing the downswing or approach to impact can be a difficult one to put into words. There are few images that adequately illustrate the feels that one sees with top players. One image that has caught my attention over the years is the comparison of the left arm’s approach to impact like that of a karate chop into a board. Martial artists will typically use a karate chop strike with the pinky pad side of the hand, not the back of the hand. Most blows are done downward, where the golf arm swing would be approaching from the side. Imagine the left arm swinging across the chest approaching the ball as if there were a board near impact. The pinky side pad leads the way with possible help from a leading elbow as well. Trying to “hit the board with the back of the hand” means an early squaring of the clubface and a weak impact. All top powerful strikes are lead by the karate like action and then followed by forearm rotation. I’ve never liked the phrase “pull the handle” at the ball, so I’ve preferred this imagery instead.
