• This jam-like treat got its name from the Portuguese word for quince, “marmelo” a word that derives from the Latin word “melimelum” meaning “honey apple.” Today it’s called marmalade. • The widespread mass marketing of jelly in the U.S. began with Thomas Welch, who was a dentist, a minister, and prohibitionist in the 1800s. He felt it was hypocritical for churches to oppose the consumption of alcohol while still offering real wine for communion.

• In 1869 Thomas Welch discovered that pasteurizing grape juice would prevent it from fermenting while also giving it a long shelf life. He lived near Concord, Massachusetts, the birthplace of the Concord grape. He began to bottle grape juice in his home, and he launched a campaign to have churches use ‘Dr. Welch’s Unfermented Wine’ for communion, naming the

• Whether or not the story is true, Dundee, Scotland became the headquarters for production of this type of orange jam when a factory was opened there in 1797. Since then, oranges have become associated with the jelly more than quinces, although it is also made with limes, grapefruit, and strawberries.

Patented in 1965, Celloplast had a CLIP AND SAVE monopoly on the iconic “T-shirt” plastic grocery bag.

• Kroger began offering shoppers the choice between “paper or plastic” in 1982, followed by Safeway. Because 1,000 plastic bags cost $24, while the same number of paper bags cost $30, they caught on quickly. By the end of 1985, 75% of supermarkets were offering plastic bags to their customers. • Many customers still preferred paper bags because they would stand upright more easily in the trunks of cars. At that time plastic held just 25% of the market, but within the next decade that market share had jumped to 80%. Plastic bags were waterproof, able to contain up to 1,000 times their own weight, and they were easier to carry.

• Mumbai, India, banned plastic bags after they clogged storm drains so full that they seriously worsened the aftermath flooding of a heavy monsoon. Ireland put a 15¢ fee on every plastic bag, and use of the bags dropped by 94% within weeks.

PLASTIC BOTTLES • The polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) bottle was invented in 1973. Prior to that, soda pop and other liquid items were packaged in glass bottles, which were heavy and prone to breakage during transport. PET is a durable type of plastic that does not explode under the pressure of tightly contained carbonated beverages.

quently. Are they married in real life? -- Nancy S., via email

by Dana Jackson King Features News Syndicate

Can you tell me what’s up with the next season of “Stranger Things”? I thought it was going to be back around Halloween. -- Nancy T., via email

While Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott have an easy chemistry, off-screen they’re married to other people who aren’t in the industry. The duo just wrapped up filming “The Crossword Mysteries: A Puzzle to Die For” for the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. Their past TV movies together for the original Hallmark channel were the recent “All of My Heart: The Wedding,” its prequel “All of My Heart: Inn Love” and “A Christmas Melody” (which also starred Mariah Carey). Look for “Puzzle” to air in 2019. *** Is it true that “Veronica Mars” is coming back as a TV series and not just a movie? Will Kristen Bell be in it? -- Jeffrey G., via email

Vol. XIV Issue 41

to reprise the title role. The reboot will consist of eight new episodes available in 2019 through the Hulu streaming service. Fans also will be able to watch all the original episodes as well as the 2014 movie on Hulu beginning the summer of 2019. * * * Send me your questions at NewCelebrityExtra@gmail. com!

It’s also important to understand who will perform the repair or replacement if it’s needed and how easy it will be to reach them. If it’s a panel that’s made by a foreign company and your installation company goes out of business in the future, who can you turn to? Better to have a trustworthy domestic company and a local installation company that has a long track record in the Valley already, like Renova. If you’ve already had solar installed and find yourself in that predicament, you can also contact RenovaPLUS, the maintenance and repair division of Renova, who can diagnose and fix any system, not just those installed by Renova.

What about a production guarantee? What is that?

If you lease your panels, most companies, including SunPower, will provide a production guarantee. That means they are letting you know their panels are guaranteed to produce a certain amount of power for each 12-month period, and if they produce less, they will compensate you. The systems are monitored and it’s in everyone’s best interest if the system produces as it’s supposed to. Don’t believe commercials where companies claim they are the only ones who do this – it’s fairly common among most solar companies.

famous opening line by Dickens. You’ve just come home with a new furry companion, in some cases plucked from the jaws of death. In all likelihood, he’s latched on to you as his new best friend, the person he loves more than any other in the world. It’s a great feeling. But there’s almost always more to the story. Unless you live alone and prefer a solitary existence, your dog will have to get along with people other than you -- namely, your significant other, your children, neighbors, friends and extended family. If you plan to introduce him to the world beyond your home and yard, he’ll have to tolerate strangers, too. The following two letters from readers tell the tale of two adoptions. I print them both here in the hopes that the writer of the first -- along with any readers experiencing the same -- will heed the inherent warning of the second. The first reads as follows: “I just adopted ‘Red’ a week ago from a woman who rescued her from a shelter. She is showing signs of fear aggression: She has growled twice while we were walking, once at a person rolling a suitcase, and once at a person bent over gardening. She has also growled while in our yard at people she could hear talking next door in their yard and also at the occasional inanimate object. “Red plays well at the dog park and with my children. She displays no signs of food or toy aggression. “I work full time and am concerned that I don’t have the time to train her properly for aggression issues. The growling was not disclosed to me upon adoption. Your advice would be appreciated.” This next letter could be right out of Dickens, with his stories of children forced to endure abuses at the hands of unfeeling or unthinking adults. It is what some might deem a “cautionary tale,” and it’s what might happen should the writer of the previous letter opt not to make time in her busy schedule to

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Attaining Your Age A few weeks ago, I wrote a column in which I casually mentioned the obscure common law (not a Social Security law) that says that you actually attain your age on the day before your birthdate. For example, I will celebrate my 70th birthday on June 22, 2019. But legally, I will turn age 70 on June 21. I said that from a Social Security perspective, that law usually doesn’t mean anything unless you were born on the first day of the month. For those lucky people, it can mean an extra Social Security check. For example, if you want your Social Security checks to begin at age 66, and your 66th birthday is Oct. 1, you legally attain age 66 on Sept. 30, meaning your first Social Security check will be for September, not October. Well, that little throwaway point has led to lots of questions from readers. I hope answering them will help clarify the rules.

I was intrigued by your column about being born on the 1st. I will turn 66 on Dec. 1, 2018. When I file for benefits, do I have to tell them that I want my benefits to begin in November? Let me put that another way. Had I never read your column, I would have known nothing about that odd little law. Would I have missed out on one month’s Social Security check because of that?

No, you (and everyone else born on the 1st of the month) will be just fine. All you have to do is tell the Social Security Administration that you want your benefits to begin at whatever age you want them to begin -- in your case, age 66. SSA’s computers will automatically know that you legally turn 66 on Nov. 30, and you will get your first check for November.

A: Yes, that’s what the law means. So if

you want your benefits to begin at your full retirement age, that’s what you will tell SSA. And their computers will automatically figure out that you will reach that age on Aug. 31, 2022.

A: Well, you are right -- and wrong. I will

explain. If you look back at that column, you will see that I worded my explanation very carefully to say that someone born on Sept. 1 would get a check “for August,” not “in August.” You correctly pointed out that the August check is paid in September. Without that little quirk in the law, someone turning 66 on Sept. 1 would normally get his or her first check, the September check, in October. But again, that law does exist. So there still is a one-month Social Security check advantage to being born on the 1st.

You said that someone turning age 66 on the first day of the month can get benefits for the prior month. But does that same rule apply to those of us whose full retirement age is not 66? For example, I was born on May 1, 1956. My full retirement age is 66 and 4 months. So I will be 66 and 4 months on Sept. 1, 2022. Does the law mean that I will actually reach my full retirement age on Aug.

Your stor y about getting an extra month’s worth of benefits if you are born on the first was ver y interesting. And it got me to wondering. What if you die on the 1st? Let’s say I died on Dec. 1, 2018. Do I legally die on Nov. 30? If so, then could my wife get a MON., SEPT. 3 widow’s benefit for November?

That was an interesting point you made about being born on the 1st. But I recall a column you wrote years ago in which you said there was some significance to being born on the 2nd.

SPECIAL AUTUMN OFFER!

In a recent column, you said that someone born on Sept. 1 would get a check in August. But I think you are wrong. Because Social Security checks are always a month behind, that August check won’t be paid until September. So I still don’t see the advantage to being born on the 1st.

pen if Mary was born on Oct. 1. The answer is there would be no change. She would legally turn 62 on Sept. 30. But October would still be the first month she would be 62 for the entire month, so October would still be her eligibility date.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have breast cancer that has metastasized to my bones. I know that there have been great strides in curing cancer at the original site but there doesn’t seem to be any work done to help when it has spread. Are you aware of any? I am 87 years old. -- L.L.

ANSWER: Once breast cancer -- and indeed, most cancers -- has spread beyond its original location (metastasized), it becomes much more difficult to cure. However, there have been significant improvements in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Cure might not be possible, but a good quality of life for months or years is possible (half of women with metastatic breast cancer will live longer than two years). The exact treatment depends on the pathology and receptor status of the cancer, and a plan needs to be individualized by an experienced oncologist.

Rosenthal and Co., makers of this porcelain plate, was founded in 1879 in Bavaria.

Your plate was made by Rosenthal and Co. in the early 1900s. Philip Rosenthal founded his factory in Kronach, Bavaria, Germany, in 1879. The illegible words are probably the pattern or the name of the shape and the name of the country of origin. Rosenthal often made white porcelain in shapes that were given a name. The shapes usually had scalloped or ruffled edges and were trimmed in gold. Some of the motifs were seashells, flowers, portraits, landscapes and fruit. They were hand-painted by talented artists and sometimes dated. Take another close look at your plate; it may have been signed. Rosenthal and Co. has used several names over the years and is still in business. Your plate would probably fetch $25 to $50 in an antiques shop. *** I have enclosed the mark that is on a set of dishes that are at least 50 years

Plastic (from page page 3) for better dry cleaning solvents. Finally Wiley managed to peel a thin film of polymers away from the glass. He showed the sheet to his boss, John Reilly. Reilly saw potential in the material and put his best chemists on the project. The film needed a name, and Reilly thought of his wife, Sarah, and his daughter, Ann and named the product after them: Saran. • During World War II Saran was sprayed onto airplanes to protect parts from salt sea spray and sand. After the war, it was revamped and used to protect car upholstery. In 1949, it became the first cling wrap designed for commercial use. Re-named Saran Wrap, it was first sold for household use in 1953. • Ralph Wiley continued his career at Dow Chemical, receiving many patents. Today the film he discovered is called polyethylene. It is the most abundant form of plastic made, with 80 million metric tons produced worldwide each year, most of it used for package wrapping.

POLYETHYLENE

• Ethylene, a gas which is a byproduct of refining crude oil, was once burned off as waste until 1933 when two British chemists started experimenting with it. One experiment resulted in their lab blowing up, but later they found that if they added benzaldehyde and oxygen under pressure, ethylene molecules bind together into long, strong chains called polyethylene. Polyethylene is stronger than steel but soft as wax. Today there are two types: high-density polyethylene (HDPE) used for things such as milk jugs; and low density polyethylene (LDPE) used for plastic wraps and bags. Polyethylene was the first plastic product to sell more than a billion pounds per year in the U.S. □

Expanding Man Steely Dan spoke of the “expanding man” in Deacon Blues as one who is “thinking of all the possibilities of life”. Golf, on the other hand, has another version of the expanding man. This refers to the change of distances in the arms and body as forces are pulling the club out away from them through impact. Golfers start in a given distance from the ball, yet by impact may feel the arms “expanding away” from them. Centrifugal forces in golf are attempting to pull the club away from the body into impact. Players can combat this force in several common ways: 1. Start with the ball on the toe end of the club like Zach Johnson and others. 2. Back away from the ball through impact by standing up or away from the ball. 3. Try feeling the club swing through a space interior of the ball by impact. Usually players prefer ideas one and three, but many golfers do back away from their address posture/position in order to hit the ball more centrally on the clubface. The key is understanding these forces are normal, and if you suffer heel hits, it’s a concern to address.

Once that scam gained popularity, waiters and cashiers regularly offered the carbons to customers, giving them the opportunity to destroy them.
