America are Yorkshire pigs, a breed that is white with erect ears. Although Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio have the most Yorkshires, they can be found in nearly every state.

• A female pig is called a sow or gilt, depending on whether she has ever given birth. A sow has had piglets, while a gilt is a young female who has never produced offspring. The sow gives birth twice a year, with a gestation period of three months, three weeks, and three days. Her litter will be about 12 piglets, with each weighing approximately 2.5 pounds. Within a week, its weight will double. The sow will nurse the babies for three to five weeks, and after being weaned, the piglets are referred to as shoats.

There are 2 main ways to get your Medicare coverage: Original Medicare (Part A & B) or a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C). Answers to these 5 simple questions will start to tell which type of plan you might consider: 1) Do you want your Medicare coverage to include prescription drugs? 2) Do you want extra coverage to help pay the 20% of your medical bills that Original Medicare does not cover? 3) Do you want Medicare coverage for vision and/or dental? 4) Do you travel a lot, or live in another state part of the year? 5) Do you want Medicare coverage for frequent international travel? Original Medicare does NOT cover everything so many people buy additional coverage like a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D) or a Supplemental (Medigap) policy You may want to purchase a Medigap policy to get help with your out-ofpocket costs. Medigap is extra health insurance from a private company to pay some (or all) of the 20% of your medical bills that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, OR you may want to join a Medicare Advantage plan to get drug coverage AND help with your out-of-pocket costs. Please give our office a call for a free review of your current plan. Our services are ALWAYS free—we are paid directly by the carrier you choose and we are appointed with MOST of the major insurance carriers.

In 1882, a Delaware university sponsored a contest for youths, with each participant required to plant a quarter acre of corn, following instructions from the college that outlined new approaches to growing. • In 1902, an Ohio school superintendent, A.B. Graham, met with 30 boys and girls for the purpose of teaching them about harvesting corn, planting vegetable gardens, soil testing, knot-tying, and wildlife identification. The group was first dubbed the Corn Growing Club, but was later changed to the Boys’ and Girls’ Agricultural Club. This group was the nucleus of the 4-H clubs we know today. • Around the same time, another school superintendent, Jessie Field Shambaugh from Iowa, was also organizing “Boys Corn Clubs” and “Girls Home Clubs,” establishing them as after-school groups in 130 country schools. Her idea was to improve farming and homemaking skills among youth in rural areas. Her monthly salary was $33.50.

Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems.

After you've followed their instructions and done a few shops, they might tell you that you’re so reliable they have a bigger job for you; investigating money-transfer companies. They’ll send you a big check, which you will deposit into your checking account. They will instruct you to quickly wire the money back as a "test." Meanwhile, the worthless check they sent you won’t have cleared yet, and the real money you've wired them out of your pocket is now in their hands. By the time your bank informs you that the check you deposited in your account is bogus, the scammers have your cash and you'll never hear from them again. Gotcha! Receiving a fake check in the mail isn’t the only way you can run into a scam. If you decide to sell a few things via online auctions, you might be tempted to accept a check from the buyer.

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Who Do You Trust?

I think you either misunderstood what the Social Security agent was telling you. Or you got a clunker of a clerk. Because most of what you told me is messed up. First, your wife can only employ the maximizing strategy called “file and restrict” if she is 66 years old. Second, even if your wife were 66 and wanted to file for spousal benefits on your record, she would not get half of your current benefit, which includes a 32 bonus that you got for delaying your own benefits until age 70. Her spousal rate would be based on your full retirement (age 66) benefit amount. And the widow’s rate the clerk quoted you

I turned 68 yesterday. I had previously decided not to file for my own benefits until I reach age 70. But financial circumstances forced me to change my mind. I need my benefits now. So imagine my shock when I called Social Security and was told that once I made my decision to wait until 70, I can’t change my mind. Is this true?

My wife is about to turn 65. We went to our Social Security office to sign her up for Social Security. I am 73. I started my Social Security at age 70. I get $2,788 per month.

He said she would get half of my benefit now, or $1,394. Then at age 70, she could switch to $1,995 on her own record. We then asked about widow’s benefits when I die. He said she would get 82.5 percent of my benefit, or $2,300 per month. We decided to put ever ything on hold so we can think about it and ask you for your advice. What do you think?

You know how sometimes one thing can lead to another? The other day, I was watching Jay Leno’s TV show, “Jay Leno’s Garage.” He was driving around in a car once owned by his “Tonight Show” predecessor, Johnny Carson. It was a car that Johnny grew up with -- his father’s 1939 Chrysler. Jay mentioned that Johnny had once done a TV special in which he drove that Chrysler back to Norfolk, Nebraska, and took viewers on a tour of his hometown. I remembered that show, so later that night, I rewatched it on YouTube. And, as I said, one thing leads to another, and I next watched a couple episodes of Johnny’s TV debut, a program called “Who Do You Trust?” So what’s all of this have to do with Social Security? Well that show’s title got me to thinking about emails I get from my readers. They frequently tell me what they heard from a representative at their local Social Security office. And, more often than I hoped would be necessary, I tell them that what they were told (or maybe what they thought they were told) is wrong. I then proceed to explain the way things really work. And I think I’ve done my job. But watching that old game show led me to wonder: “Who do you trust?” My readers heard one thing from a Social Security clerk and something else from me. So do they trust me? Or do they trust the clerk? Well, I’ve been doing this stuff for 45 years, and I think I’m pretty well versed in Social Security rules and regulations. And I hope that when people go back to their SSA office, they either learn that they misunderstood the agent the first time, or they get someone who verifies that what I told them was correct. Here are some examples of what I am talking about:

is way off base. The 82.5 percent rate is close to the minimum amount a widow can receive. Assuming your wife is over age 66 when you die, she will get 100 percent of your retirement benefit, and this time it will include the extra money you are getting for delaying your retirement. So what are your wife’s options? If she does want to file at age 65, her only choice would be to take her own retirement benefit. She’d get about 92 percent of her full retirement rate. Or if she does want to do the “file and restrict” thing, she could wait until she is 66 and file for spousal benefits and get 50 percent of your full retirement rate. Then at 70, she could switch to 132 percent of her own retirement benefit.

Pitching the ball around the green with any wedge requires consistent control of the hands and arms through impact. One of the simplest images for the average golfer is trying to keep the butt end of the club pointing to the center of the body on the finish. “Keeping the club in center” gives the image of a unified action of body turn, and passive forearm and wrist action. Most pitches around the green can be hit with low to medium height finishes where one can check the alignment of the butt end of the club to the body. It should be aligned near the belt buckle or navel if everything works together. Avoid excessive positions where the grip end points too far outside the body on either side. If the body doesn’t turn thru to the target slightly, or the hands become too active, it’s nearly impossible to “keep the club in center”. This is a visual that can be rehearsed easily in preparation to hit those critical scrambling shots around the green.
