The town council gave the go-ahead in March for a festival billed as “Three Days of Peace and Music,” and the work began. Almost immediately the townfolk were alarmed by the long-haired hippie-types who showed up to build stages, and they abruptly changed their minds. On June 2, 1969 – just a few weeks before the concert was scheduled – the council reneged on their agreements and ordered WOODSTOCK: Turn to page 3

WOODSTOCK (from page one) Woodstock Ventures and their seedy workers out of town. • While the sudden change caused utter panic for Woodstock Ventures, it also generated enormous amounts of free publicity that attracted nation-wide curiosity and interest in this upcoming rock festival. • Enter Max Yasgur and his dairy farm outside the nearby town of White Lake. He offered green fields, hundreds of acres of sloping land, and a lake. Yasgur asked $75,000 to rent the property, and got it. Adjacent farm land was also rented for parking lots and campgrounds at exorbitant fees far greater than what the land itself had been valued by a local realtor. • The White Lake town council approved the permits but later did a turn-around, just as Wallkill had done. Only days before the concert, they said that although they had approved the permits, they had not yet actually issued them. They claimed that they still retained the right to cancel the event, which they attempted to do. • But by this time, the enormity of the situation was already at an unstoppable momentum. The “Stop Work” orders posted on fences and poles around the site were torn down as fast as they were put up. The nearby town of Bethel, population 3,900, was utterly overwhelmed with the workers and curiosity seekers that

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

By Samantha Weaver

6 Reasons to Celebrate!

* It was best-selling author and aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart -- the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean -who made the following sage observation: “The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers.”

Celebrate? With all that’s going on in our economy, our nation, our world? Given the challenges of the day, you may be thinking that’s the last thing you’ll be doing now, or anytime soon. If so, let me encourage you to think again. Of all ® times, we need to celebrate now, wherever and whenever possible.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

* The elephant is the only animal that can be trained to stand on its head (other than humans, of course).

Celebration heals. According to a study on organ donations by Dr. Robert Emmons, the more gratitude a recipient of an organ feels, the faster that person’s recovery. There were 74 transplant recipients of either a heart, liver, lung, kidney or pancreas who participated in the study. Those recipients who expressed gratitude, whether directly or indirectly, by journaling, felt physically better and functioned at a higher level than those who did not. Looking at the calendar, it’s easy to see natural reasons to celebrate -- Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s. So pull out all the stops. Celebrate! But don’t let your celebrations end there. Look for every reason imaginable to celebrate: the first day of summer, last day of autumn, the first snowfall, the shortest day of the year, a child’s progress report, the 100th day of the school year, birthdays, anniversaries, Mon., significant milestones 4/22/2017 and important events.

In their book “Why Good Things Happen to Good People,” authors Stephen Post and Jill Neimark tell us that celebration is one of the most important ways that we express gratitude.

* Historians of ancient Rome say that a three-man crew was required to handle a war chariot: The rein handler was responsible for managing the horses, and the shooter focused on launching arrows at the enemy. The straphanger, who stayed at the back of the chariot, had the unenviable task of making sure the other two crew members didn’t fall out as the chariot bounced over bodies. * Those who study such things say that your blood is filtered through your kidneys approximately 20 times every hour.

* You surely know what a boycott is -- a method of protest entailing the refusal to buy a product or deal with a person or organization. You might not know, however, where we got the word. Here’s the story: In 19th-cuntury Ireland, there was an English land agent named Charles C. Boycott. During a time when crops were failing -- depriving many farmers of income as well as food -- he refused their pleas to lower rents. In retribution, he was ostracized, with many people refusing to do business or even socialize with him.

• Why don’t we sneeze in our sleep? The nerves that send a signal to the brain are also sleeping, so we don’t sneeze while we snooze. • There are a few old wives’ tales about sneezing, including the belief that your heart stops beating. Although your chest contracts during a sneeze and blood flow is momentarily constricted, the heart does not stop. Its rhythm, however, may be altered slightly for a few seconds. Some folks actually believe that your eyeballs can pop out of your head during a sneeze. The slight increase in blood pressure behind the eyes during a sneeze is certainly not enough to dislodge eyeballs from their sockets. • According to some folklore, if you sneeze, company is coming over. In Asia, it means someone is talking about you behind your back. And if your cat sneezes, it means it’s going to rain! • There are a number of theories as to why folks say “Bless you” to someone after a sneeze.

Do you know when “Outlander” will be back? -- Kelly J., via email

Finally, Droughtlander is almost over. The ridiculously popular fantasy/time-travel/historical-fiction drama will return to Starz for 13 all-new episodes starting Sunday, Sept. 10. This third season will follow the events of the third book in Diana Gabaldon’s “Outlander” series, “Voyager.” As we closed out season two, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) had returned to the 1940s in order to save the life of her and Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) unborn baby. With the Sam Heughan in “Outlander” help of her daughter, Brianna, and family friend Roger Wakefield, she learns that Jamie did indeed survive the Battle of Culloden, and she vows to return to him. What’s even better is that while the book kind of glossed over the Battle of Culloden, we get to see the war spectacle in all its muddy and bloody glory. *** One of my favorite shows was “The L Word,” and now I hear it’s being resurrected. Is that true? -- Violet G., via email

How would this look in YOUR yard?

Q: What about if I sell my home? A: With a lease, the new buyer

simply assumes the lease. SunPower makes it easy. If you and the new buyer prefer, you can determine the remaining value and the system can be purchased, but that is simply an option at that time.

Q: So what should I do next? A: Read reviews of local compa-

nies who offer purchase and lease options. You do not want to get locked into a Power Purchase Agreement because that will dictate that you pay a certain amount for your electricity and will continue to escalate. If electric rates do not continue to increase at the same historical percentage, your savings will be diminished. Choose a couple of companies to speak with and be ready with a year’s worth of bills, or ready to work with the company to obtain them. This will ensure that a customized, accurate proposal can be prepared for you, in conjunction with the roof size and shade measurements that will be taken. If solar makes sense for you, sign up and enjoy the savings!

Lic #896061 C-53

Renova Solar is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems. Solar consultants will answer all your questions and help you decide if solar is right for you - not pressure you into buying a system.

More Widows ... More Questions Perhaps I’ve opened the floodgates? I’ve written a several columns over the past month or two discussing Social Security widow’s benefits. But it seems the more explaining I do, the more questions I get! So, once again, more questions from more widows:

Here is something I cannot figure out. Why am I getting so much more in widow’s benefits than I am due in my own Social Security? I will admit that my husband had a well-paying job and I did not. But he died at age 42. I worked until I was 62, albeit at a middle-income job. My widow’s benefit is $2,675. My own retirement benefit is only $1,790. I paid into Social Security for a much longer time. So why isn’t my benefit higher than my husband’s benefit?

I can understand your confusion. You would think that because you paid into Social Security for at least 20 more years than your husband, and that he died more than two decades ago when earnings weren’t as high as they are today, that your own benefit rate would be higher. But your widow’s rate is more because of the way those benefits are figured. Your retirement benefit is based on your average income using a 35-year base of earnings. And the more years that are used to compute a benefit, the lower that benefit is going to be. For example, if retirement benefits were based on your average income over just the last three years, that would produce a much higher benefit than if 35 years are used. Or to put that another way, the more years of earnings used from so long ago when you were in your 20s and 30s and probably not making as much as you are now, the lower your overall average income will be and the lower your Social Security retirement benefit will be. But in your husband’s case, his Social Security record was essentially closed on the day he died. So instead of using 35 years, they only used about 20 years of earnings to figure his benefit. And like the earnings used in your retirement computation, all of those 20 years of earnings he had were indexed for inflation. You said your husband had a well-paying job. And all of those high earnings he had translate into a high Social Security benefit. And now they translate into a widow’s benefit that is higher than your own Social Security check.

I am 73 years old. My husband died late last year. After he died, my own $968 retirement benefit stopped and I started getting what he was receiving when he died. I get a widow’s check of $2,147 per month. So I’d like to know: Where did my money go?

You’re still getting it. Because you see a deposit of $2,147 per month in your bank account, you may think you are just getting straight widow’s benefits off of your husband’s record. But what is actually happening is that you are being paid from both your own and your husband’s Social Security account. Or to put that another way, you are getting $968 in your own retirement benefits. Then they are adding $1,179 in widow’s benefits from your husband’s record to take you up to his $2,147 rate.

Finding a comfortable saddle that doesn’t cause numbness, avoiding very long rides and standing up periodically on the pedals can prevent problems. Biking shorts help most people. M.D.

Strange Dreams? Check Medications DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 90 years old and take many medications. I am having many different dreams at night. Can medications cause this? -- A.C. ANSWER: Pretty much whenever I get the question, “Can medications cause this?” the answer is “yes.” In your case, it’s very clear that some medications cause unusual dreams in many people who take them. Antibiotics, antidepressants, blood pressure medications and even sleeping medications can cause remarkable dreams. Some people hate this side effect; others enjoy it. Knowing that medications could be causing them often is a source of relief. I would caution you not to stop your medications suddenly or without talking to your doctor. You should go over your list of medicines and try to discover which are the most likely to be the source. Sometimes, a medicine can be stopped if the dreams are very bothersome.

Although some early studies did link cycling with testicular cancer, most authorities now believe there is no such link. In fact, regular exercise reduces risk of both testicular and prostate cancer. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 73 years old, with osteoporosis and scoliosis. Can scoliosis be corrected? -- W.E.W. ANSWER: Osteoporosis is loss of strength of the bones, and scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. They may or may not be related. The osteoporosis should be treated, but the scoliosis usually does not need to be treated. Muscle strengthening exercises are important, and braces and injections may be used. Surgery is reserved for very severe cases, particularly in adults.

*** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 62-year-old man who likes to ride his bicycle for exercise. I ride on paved trails and streets, approximately 10 miles at a time with an eye on extending the length of my rides. I own a road bike, but currently I ride a bike that provides a more upright seating position. In either case, the seat is narrow and firm. My body is in a forward-leaning position while riding.

LONG-TERM CARE

Issue 31

VETERANS  POST  Instead of Securing Vet’s Back Pay, She Stole It Somebody’s going to prison, and I’m cheering. A Missouri woman enrolled as a financial fiduciary through the Department of Veterans Affairs stole $38,000 from a disabled veteran she was supposed to help, and she did it shortly after she was appointed to the role and discovered all that back pay in his account. Not only did she fail to maintain records and reports, she stonewalled even after being faced with VA Office of the Inspector General auditors who demanded explanations and accounting for the funds. Eventually she pleaded guilty to one felony count of embezzlement and faces up to 10 years in prison, as well as a $250,000 fine and required reimbursement of the money stolen. We’ll know in September how the sentencing goes. The VA’s fiduciary program was set up a long time ago to help elderly veterans who were unable to handle their finances. At first, someone would be appointed. Then the VA started paying 5 percent of the veteran’s benefits as a fee. That brought out the scammers in the form of allegedly professional fiduciaries who quickly learned to rig the system and steal from the veterans they were supposed to protect. In 2014, the VA OIG conducted an investigation and concluded that more than $944,000 had been funneled away from veterans. In addition, in some areas of the country, complaints against fiduciaries in the program were not quickly and properly investigated. Despite the past problems, if you suspect any form of fiduciary abuse, call the VA Fiduciary Program at 1-888-407-0144. Or call the VA at 1-800827-1000. The Fiduciary Program will investigate and decide if misuse of funds has occurred, and if it did, the VA will try to replace the missing money. It also will get the OIG to pursue a criminal investigation.

They are decorated with red-orange roses and gold bands around the edges. They are in ver y good condition. I would appreciate anything you can tell me about their histor y and value.

Collectible Is Mmm, Mmm, Good Q:

I have had this porcelain Campbell soup bowl for many years. It is 4 inches in diameter and in mint condition. There is a gold seal on the label with the inscription “1900 Exposition Universelle Internationale.” I found no information about its histor y on the internet. Could you help me determine its value? I would like to sell it.

Campbell Soup Company won an award at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, France.

Campbell Soup Company was awarded a gold medal seal by the Exposition Universelle de 1900 in Paris, France. Its red and white label includes the gold seal. The 1900 exposition was to celebrate the achievement of the past and showcase future developments in art and technology. In the seven months of the exposition, over 50 million people visited the pavilions sponsored by 40 countries. Campbell Soup Company was founded by Joseph Campbell and Abraham Anderson in Camden, New Jersey, in 1869. Their condensed soup was introduced by Dr. John T. Dorrance in 1897. Your soup bowl was made by McCoy Pottery around 1969 and is stackable. Over the years, there have been bowls in a variety of shapes and sizes, some with handles. Your late 20th-century bowl has been seen selling on the internet in the range of $10 to $15. *** I have a covered casserole dish, a sugar bowl and a matching cream pitcher that I would like to learn more about. Each

American Limoges was founded in Sebring, Ohio, in 1901.

American Limoges was founded in Sebring, Ohio, in 1901 by F.A. Sebring as Limoges China Co. It made earthenware and semiporcelain products. It was one of several potteries the Sebring family owned. Interestingly, they founded two American cities, Sebring, Ohio, and Sebring, Florida. The family’s goal was to produce highquality porcelain to compete with European dinnerware. In the 1940s, Haviland Co., located in Limoges, France, brought charges demanding that the company cease using the name Limoges. The name was changed to American Limoges. “Vermillion Rose” is the name of the pattern. It was made in the late 1940s and 1950s. Both Triumph and Belvedere relate to the basic shape of the dishes. Your covered vegetable dish, sugar bowl and cream pitcher set would be worth around $35 to $65. * * * Address your questions to Anne McCollam, P. O. Box 247, Notre Dame, IN 46556.

* On Aug. 4, 1753, George Washington, a 21-year-old Virginia planter, becomes a Master Mason, the highest rank in the secret fraternity of Freemasonry. Washington soon would command his first military operation as a major in the Virginia colonial militia. * On Aug. 5, 1858, after several unsuccessful attempts, the first telegraph line across the 2,000-mile Atlantic Ocean is completed, often at a depth of more than 2 miles. It ceased functioning a month later. In 1866, a British ship succeeded in laying the first permanent telegraph line. * On Aug. 6, 1926, on her second attempt, 19-year-old American Gertrude Ederle becomes the first woman to swim the 21 miles across the English Channel, besting the time of the five previous male channel swimmers. * On Aug. 2, 1934, Chancellor Adolf Hitler becomes dictator of Germany under the title of Fűhrer. Hitler assured his people that the Third Reich would last for a thousand years, but Nazi Germany collapsed 11 years later. * On Aug. 3, 1949, the Basketball Association of America and rival National Basketball League merge to form the National Basketball Association. By the 1954-55 season, only eight teams remained in the NBA. That year, the league transformed the game with the creation of the 24-second clock. * On July 31, 1975, James “Jimmy” Hoffa, one of the most influential American labor leaders of the 20th century, disappears in Detroit, never to be heard from again. Though he is popularly believed to have been the victim of a Mafia hit, conclusive evidence has never been found. * On Aug. 1, 1981, “MTV: Music Television” goes on the air for the first time, with the words (spoken by one of MTV’s creators, John Lack): “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll!” The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” was the first music video to air.

They begged performers to extend their sets. Most agreed. • Five inches of rain fell in three hours on that Friday, and the ground became a slippery mudbath. Performers started to get shocks from their electric guitars. Insulation surrounding high voltage wires started to wear off after being trampled by the crowds, and emergency wiring was laid. Said one performer, “If I get electrocuted at Woodstock we're gonna sell tons a' records!” • By the time the concert ended at dawn Monday morning with Jimi Hendrix’s version of the national anthem, Woodstock Ventures was $1.3 million in debt. Promotional expenses were 70% over budget. Production expenses were 300% over budget. It cost $180,000 to book the performers, and $100,000 to clean everything up after it was all over. The total cost of the event amounted to $2.4 million, not including fines, fees, claims, and lawsuits. •
