by 1873 by Henry Schacht, who used sturgeon from the Delaware River. The delicacy became so popular that U.S. saloons served it free, since its salty taste caused customers to drink more. But by 1910, American waters had been nearly depleted of sturgeon due to over-fishing, and production ceased, with caviar then becoming an expensive luxury.

Star Trek (from page one) Gone Before.” Captain Kirk was introduced, played by a 35-year-old Canadian actor named William Shatner, whose name would become synonymous with Star Trek. The second pilot also introduced Lieutenant Commander Montgomery “Scotty” Scott and helmsman Sulu. • The name Sulu does not have Japanese origins, but was conceived from Roddenberry’s observation of the Sulu Sea on a map. This body of water touches the shores of all Asian countries. Sulu’s character, played by George Takei, (who appeared in 52 episodes) has no first name in the original series, but a 1981 Star Trek novel bestows the first name of Hikaru. • Leonard Nimoy appeared in more episodes than any other character. Playing the Vulcan Mr. Spock, he was cast in all 79 episodes as well as the original first pilot, while Shatner only starred in the 79 regular episodes. • The character of Russian-born navigator Pavel Chekov was introduced in the series’ second season. Walter Koenig who played the role appeared in 36 episodes from 1967 to 1969.

Rodenberry’s original idea was for Spock’s skin to be red, which would have created many additional hours of make-up time for Nimoy. When an early screen test showed that red appeared as black on 1960s black-and-white TV’s, the notion was scrapped.

Page 3

Shatner went through tough times finding work during the early 1970s. With no new roles coming his way and very little money, the actor 1. lost his home and lived in a camper on the back of a truck until a few minor roles came his way, which blossomed into higher-paying ones.

Last year I was really into this show about a group of friends tr ying to make it in Hollywood, and one of the girls lands the lead role in blockbuster Young Adult fantasy movie. We get to see how it changes her and her relationship with her friends, and how she changes the actors she works with because of her “normalness.” Can you tell me what that was called and if/when it will be back? -- Rhiannon G., via email

You’re thinking of “Famous in Love,” which airs on Freeform. I’ve also been waiting for word on its return, and I just heard that it will be back for its second season on Wednesday, April 4, at 8 p.m. ET.

Renova is a Certified Installer for the Tesla Powerwall, as well as for Sonnen, the leading battery company out of Germany. Other batteries are offered by other firms, but generally, you should look for a reputable installation company, battery manufacturer and a strong warranty. Battery installation is more complicated than solar, so a company with a lot of experience in battery installation makes a big difference.

Q: What’s a next step? A: A consultant can come to your

home and help you decide what you would want to have powered during an outage, and then recommend the amount of battery storage you would need to accomplish that. Renova Energy 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. Learn more at

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

‘Notch Babies’ Now Reaching Century Mark -and They Are Still Mad! There is a group of very old people out there who, for decades now, has been misled into believing that they are being cheated out of Social Security benefits. I’m talking about folks who are now pushing the century mark -- in their mid-to-late 90s and beyond. And that means that for 30 or 40 years now, they have been carrying a grudge against the government in general, and Social Security in particular. I still get letters from these people. Or, more often lately, I get letters from their sons or daughters (who themselves are now in their late 60s or 70s) asking me if anything can be done about this perceived injustice -- the infamous “Social Security notch.” In fact, my own mother was one of those people. Despite my constant reassurances to the contrary, she was convinced that the government was ripping her off by short-changing her on her monthly Social Security check. This cohort of seniors, generally people born between 1917 and about 1926, called themselves the “notch babies.” And their false claims about getting financially fleeced by Uncle Sam were fueled by a rather sophisticated, albeit deceitful and shameful lobbying campaign, sponsored by greedy gadflies out to make a quick buck. For those readers who don’t have a clue what I am talking about, the “notch” refers to a time period

when corrections were made to the Social Security benefit formula -- corrections that were necessary to ensure that all Social Security recipients were paid properly, but corrections that were misconstrued by many to be a way of cheating them out of benefits they felt they were due. Here’s the story. In 1972, Congress passed a law mandating automatic annual cost-of-living adjustments to Social Security checks. Those COLAs were to be based on increases in the government’s official inflation measuring stick: the consumer price index. (Before 1972, COLAs were not automatic. They were sporadic and happened only if Congress specifically authorized a yearly increase.) As part of the new process, the Social Security Administration had to come up with a formula for calculating increases to people’s Social Security checks -- which they did. But after COLAs were paid for a couple of years, someone noticed the formula was wrong. Social Security beneficiaries were getting increases that were slightly higher than intended. Once the mistake was discovered and SSA notified Congress, several decisions had to be made. For one, they had to figure out what to do about all of the Social Security beneficiaries who received the overly generous COLA adjustments. Congress decided to let them keep the money. (It would have been political suicide to send “overpayment” letters to every senior citizen in the country.) The second choice Congress had to make was to decide where to draw the line -- which people would have their benefits figured using the proper COLA formula. And they drew that line at 1917. In other words, they said everyone born in 1917 and later would have his or her Social Security benefit figured using the corrected formula. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? But sometimes Congress can’t leave well enough alone. In this case, they bowed to pressure from senior citizen groups who demanded a transition period from the old (incorrect) formula to the new (proper) formula. After lots of haggling, what they eventually decided was that everyone born between 1917 and 1921 would have his or her benefit figured using a special formula. So, we ended up with the following scenarios. People born after 1921 had their benefits figured using the proper (and lower) COLA formula. People born before 1917 had their benefits figured using the incorrect (and higher) formula. And people born between 1917 and 1921 had their benefits figured with a special formula not quite as generous as the one used for the pre-1917 crowd but more generous than the one used for the post-1921 crowd. You’d think everyone would be happy, right? Well, what happened next was pretty bizarre. Social Security recipients born in 1917 and later started to complain that they weren’t getting quite as much as folks born 1916 and earlier. Someone should have splashed some cold water in their faces and said, “You are being paid correctly. It’s the folks born before 1917 who are getting overly generous benefits. And on top of that, you are getting Social Security benefits at a higher rate than anyone born from 1922 on.” Instead, mobs of angry senior citizens around

the country started to form into groups demanding “justice.” Even Ann Landers got into the fray. She’s the one who came up with the moniker: “notch babies.” And all these folks mistakenly thought they were singled out for lower benefit adjustments than everyone else. To repeat the facts: They were getting slightly lower benefits than people born 1916 and earlier, but they were getting higher benefits than everyone born after 1921. Then those greedy lobbying groups I mentioned earlier got into the mix and really muddied things. They sent letters to folks born in the socalled “notch years,” telling them they were being cheated out of Social Security benefits and asking for donations to “fight this injustice.” And to help fill their coffers even more, the lobbyists deceitfully expanded the definition of those notch years to include everyone born through 1926. Some inexplicably pushed the notch cutoff into the 1930s! So senior citizens of all ages started sending in tens of millions of dollars -- money that paid for many overpriced lobbyists and some pretty nice office space on K Street in Washington, D.C. -- but money that accomplished nothing else. After all, there really was no “injustice” to fight. Sadly, millions of seniors born between 1917 and 1926 or even later went to their graves bitter and disappointed -- including my own mother! Those alive today still believe that they are being cheated out of Social Security benefits. If you know one of these people, please tell them to enjoy what time they have left on earth and stop fretting about an alleged injustice that never happened. * * * If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

You have a Victorian era porcelain hot chocolate set that was made by Moritz Zdekauer. It was in business in Austria from 1884 to 1909, when it was bought by C.M. Hutschenreuther. Many vases and dinnerware, chocolate, coffee, tea and wash sets were made and exported to the United States. The factory exists today in the Czech Republic by the name Starorolsky Porcelain Moritz Zdekauer. The mark you provided was used around 1900, and the value of your set might be $125 to $150. by Anne McCollam

Greenware Figurines Set Isn’t Worth Peanuts Q:

I am interested in knowing the value of the ceramic “Charlie Brown” Peanuts figurine set that is seen in this photo. The set includes five figurines: Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally and Snoopy. They are all handpainted and in ver y good condition. I was told the set has some value due to the fact that the molds were broken after a certain number were made. Thank you in advance for any information you might provide.

According to my research, in the early 1960s, greenware and bisque Peanuts molds were made and sold to ceramic hobby shops. Hobbyists would select molds, prepare them, have them fired and then have them hand-painted. There was a legal dispute over the production of the molds because they were not licensed. The greenware and bisque manufacturer was required to stop production. There were a few sets that were sold and hand-painted before the cease-and-desist order, thus making the sets hard to find. I found nothing to confirm that molds were broken after a specific number were made. Two of your circa-1960 set of Peanuts figurines are offered for sale, one at $55 and one $325. The $325 value seems high. There is not a huge demand for most Peanuts figurines at this time.

Hot Chocolate set was made by Moritz Zdekauer.

* On March 6, 1776, Major William Malcolm is ordered to dismantle the Sandy Hook lighthouse in New Jersey to prevent it from helping the British to reach New York City. The British were able to put the lighthouse back into service, but the Patriots brought out cannons to blow away the British equipment. * On March 9, 1781, the Siege of Pensacola begins as Spanish naval forces of more than 40 ships and 3,500 men land at Santa Rosa Island in Florida. The flotilla survived a hurricane before beginning two months of constant artillery and cannon bombardment of British forts. * On March 11, 1818, “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus,” by 21-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, is published. In Shelley’s tale, a scientist animates a creature constructed from dismembered corpses. * On March 10, 1927, engineer Robert Kearns is born. Kearns patented a design for a type of windshield wiper and later won multimillion dollar judgments against Chrysler and Ford for using his concept without permission. * On March 7, 1950, one week after British physicist Klaus Fuchs was sentenced to 14 years in prison for his role in passing information on the atomic bomb to the Russians, the Soviet Union issues a statement denying any knowledge of him or his activities. Fuchs’ arrest and conviction uncovered a network of spies. * On March 5, 1963, the Hula-Hoop, a hipswiveling toy that became a huge fad across America, is patented by Arthur “Spud” Melin. The hoop was dubbed “Hula” after the hipgyrating Hawaiian dance of the same name. * On March 8, 1993, the Music Television Network airs the first episode of the animated series “Beavis and Butthead,” which would become MTV’s highest-rated series to that point. Creator Mike Judge later created the Emmywinning animated series “King of the Hill.”

Peanuts memorabilia value has declined due to a lack of demand.

*** This mark is on the bottom of a porcelain hot chocolate pot with a lid, and four matching cups and saucers. Each piece is decorated with pastel flowers and green leaves, and trimmed with gold. The handles on the pot and cups are scrolled, and the cups stand on a scalloped base. It originally belonged to my great-grandmother sometime before World War I. My granddaughter will be married this spring. She has been fascinated with the set since she was a little girl, and I plan to surprise her with it at her wedding shower.

Press On

It’s often discouraged to make a forward press with the hands and club in a full swing, but many great putters have done so with their stroke. A forward press is used to ignite movement without the jerkiness or tension of starting backwards from a static position. With putting, it can aid with rhythm and good impact mechanics at the same time.

The simple trick is to take your normal putting set up. Next, move the hands and top end of the grip an inch toward the target first (without other body movement). Finally, rebound into the backstroke as if the putter head was going back as the hands were still going forward. The hope is that the putter head makes a smooth move away from the ball on a neutral path. Great putters like Ben Crenshaw were noticeable in their forward press, but it can be subtle with most golfers. Just get used to having a little move ADVERTISING PROOF forward before going back.
