• Olives picked right off the tree are not edible, and must be cured and fermented to remove a bitter phenolic compound called oleuropein. This is accomplished by treating them with lye or a salty brine. Most canned black olives have been artificially colored to increase the blackness.

About 2.25 million liters (approx. 595,000 U.S. gallons) of olive oil are consumed worldwide annually. The oil is a rich source of Vitamins A, B, E, and K, as well as natural anti-oxidants, Omega-6 and Omega-3.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt By Samantha Weaver

* It was noted wit Ambrose Bierce who made the following sage observation: “All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.” * You might be surprised to learn that in January 2004, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of maggots as a medical device for cleaning wounds. * Presidential security was not always as formidable as it is today. In 1913, former President Theodore Roosevelt was walking down a Milwaukee street, heading to a speech he was scheduled to give. A man named John Schrank pulled out a gun and shot toward Roosevelt, who staggered but did not fall. There was no blood evident, and Roosevelt, who was campaigning for a second term, insisted on delivering his speech. When he pulled from a coat pocket the 100 pages on which his speech was written, he saw a bullet hole through the sheets of paper. Still determined to carry on, he gave his speech before going to the hospital, where it was discovered that the bullet had penetrated four inches into his body. After the perpetrator was arrested, it became evident that Schrank was insane; he claimed that President William McKinley had revealed to him in a dream that Roosevelt was responsible for McKinley’s assassination. Schrank spent the next 32 years in an insane asylum.

The decisions you make now will impact your life in a profound way for years to come.

My 22-Year Auto Lease Nightmare

It wasn’t our fault that a drunk driver plowed into our parked car in the middle of the night while we were on vacation more than 500 ® miles from home. The car was a total loss, but no one was hurt; it could by Mary Hunthave been worse.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

Our loss was insured, and we got just enough money from the insurance company to pay off the loan. We wanted to replace that car anyway.

If you decide to stretch out your student loan payments and take on car payments, plus all the other things you believe you so richly deserve, prepare to take a financial plunge from which it will be difficult to recover. You will open the door to awful things. The other option is to commit to an upward trajectory by choosing frugality. Even with student debt, if you choose to avoid new debt and live below your means so you can pay off your debt quickly, you will be on your way to financial freedom. Once debt-free, you’ll be ready to soar.

I just watched the “Lucifer” series finale on Fox, and I am beyond gutted that the series was canceled. This show is one of the funniest, smartest and most interesting shows on TV today. And the chemistr y between all the actors, as well as the star power of Tom Ellis, is hard to come by nowadays. I really felt that the show was hitting its stride. Is there any chance Fox will reverse its decision, or maybe someone else can pick it up? -- Kayla F., via email

I’m right there with you, Kayla. As I’ve expressed in this column before, “Lucifer” is one of my favorite shows, and I was crushed to learn of its cancelation.

I mean, Lucifer FINALLY showed his true self to Chloe, she finally understands he is literally the devil (and not metaphorically, as she always believed), and that’s it? It’s canceled?

registered with the CSLB – the Contractors State License Board? That helps you know that they have undergone a background check and that the company is committed to following all the proper practices. If they knocked on your door to try to set the initial appointment, do they even have a permit for it? If they’re not following these basic laws, it’s hard to trust that all the proper procedures will be followed with the design and installation of your system. Is the company accredited by NABCEP or at least, are their lead installers accredited? The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners helps set and maintain high standards in selling and installing. A company that participates with them is interested in professional development and the highest quality for its personnel. For example, Renova is one of only nine companies in the country to have the entire company accredited and almost half of their workforce is also individually accredited, which means they have taken an eightweek course and passed a rigorous test. Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems.

was ready to put Sammo down after he bit his wife -- twice. We decided to adopt him since we did not see signs of aggression toward people during our time with him. “At a recent checkup, Sammo snapped at the vet. Sammo has already snapped at me twice. Last night, we were on the back porch and he was enjoying a treat. It was getting dark and my girlfriend got up to get Sammo some water. He growled and charged at her. He has not had any real training outside of housebreaking and learning how to sit. What should we do?” $99The writing on the wall: Sammo had bitten twice before they adopted him, and they knew this. He’s an aggressive dog that requires professional training and firm boundaries. They will have to make concessions to keep Sammo safely in their lives and in their house. Rex: “Our 2-year-old Australian shepherd, Rex, has shown signs of aggression toward strangers and my daughter’s friends -- never toward family members. He won’t let anyone touch my daughter. If someone is on our yard, he will snarl and try to bite. Some mothers won’t let their girls come over anymore because Rex bit them. He has even broken skin. We tried to socialize him, but it didn’t get any better, so we want to do something about it.” The writing on the wall: Rex is a dangerous dog, and it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured. This family stands to lose a lot -- friendships, homeowners insurance, the home itself or even lives. Rex should be securely confined whenever anyone visits their home, and he must be kept away from small children. Maddy: “Some months back, my daughter rescued

70. I am now 68 years old. I have been afraid to take a vacation since turning 66 because I understand I will not get the 32 percent bonus if there are any months between age 66 and 70 that I am not working. I also live in fear that I will lose this job before I turn 70 and thus forfeit the bonus for that reason. Do you have any advice for me?

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Questions About Delayed Retirement Credits All of today’s questions involve the payment of what are known as “delayed retirement credits.” This is an incentive built into the law that augments the monthly Social Security checks of anyone who delays claiming Social Security benefits beyond their normal full retirement age. The maximum extra credit is 32 percent for people who wait until age 70 before signing up for Social Security.

I just turned 68 yesterday. I was planning to wait until I turned 70 to apply for my Social Security benefits. I wanted to get the 32 percent bonus for doing that. But I recently got bad news. I have cancer and my prognosis for a long life isn’t good. So now I want to start my Social Security checks right away. Will I be forfeiting my chance to get the bonus because I’m not going to wait until age 70 to file?

A: Sorry to hear the bad news about your

health prospects. The small bit of good news I can share is that you didn’t mess up your chances to get augmented Social Security benefits. That’s because it is not a flat 32 percent bonus for waiting until age 70. You actually get a two-thirds of one percent credit for each month you delay after age 66. So, if you sign up for Social Security now, you would get an extra 16 percent added to your monthly benefits. (Twenty-four months times two-thirds of one percent equals 16 percent.) But if I were you, I’d strongly consider another option. When you sign up for Social Security after age 66, you can claim up to 6 months in retroactive benefits. In other words, you could say you want the month you turned age 67 and a half to be the starting date for your Social Security checks. You would still get 12 percent worth of delayed retirement credits added to your monthly benefits -and you’d get a nice big back-pay check.

I decided to keep working and delay taking my Social Security benefits until age

Yes, my advice would be to stop worrying -- and for goodness sake, take a vacation! If you wait until age 70 to file for your Social Security benefits, you will get the delayed retirement credit of 32 percent added to your Social Security checks -- just because you waited that long to sign up for Social Security. Getting that extra boost in your monthly checks has absolutely nothing to do with working between age 66 and 70. In other words, you would get the bonus whether you spend those four years working your tail off every day or sitting on the beach doing nothing.

I turned 69 in April and signed up for my Social Security. The Social Security rep told me I wouldn’t get my delayed retirement credits until next year. But after mulling that over, I called and talked to another rep who told me I would get all of my credits in my first check. So who is right?

Actually, they are both wrong. The rules generally say that if you sign up for Social Security between age 66 and 70, you can’t get the delayed retirement credits you are due for any months within a year -- until the year is over. So your initial benefit rate will include the delayed retirement credits you earned for the months from April 2015 (when you turned age 66) through December 2017. And then sometime in early 2019, they will add in the credits you are due for January Please review carefully. Double check:  Phone Number(s)  Spelling  Pric I am 67 years old.

How to Choose a Good Estate Sale Company DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Can you provide some tips on how to choose a good estate sale company? My mother recently moved to a nursing home facility and I need to sell all the leftover items in her house. I don't know where to begin. -- Inquiring Daughter Dear Inquiring: The estate sale business has become a huge industry over the past decade. There are roughly 22,000 estate sale companies that currently operate in the U.S., up nearly 60 percent from just ten years ago. But not all estate sale companies are alike. Unlike appraisal, auction and real estate companies, estate sale operators are largely unregulated, with no licensing standards or educational requirements. That leaves the door wide open for inexperienced, unethical or even illegal operators. Therefore, it’s up to you to identify a good, reputable company from a bad one. Here are some tips to help you choose: Make a list: Start by asking friends, your real estate agent or attorney for recommendations. You can also search online. Websites like EstateSales.net and EstateSales.org let you find estate sale companies in your area.

Ask them about visiting their next sale to get a better feel for how well they conduct one. And be sure to get a list of references of their past clients -- and call them. Schedule appointments: Set up two or three face-to-face interviews with the companies you feel provided you with satisfactory answers during the phone interviews. During their visit: Show the estate liquidator through the property, pointing out and marking any items that are NFS (not for sale) and not to be included. If you have any items where price is a concern, discuss it with them at that time. Experienced estate sale companies will give you realistic quotes during this walkthrough.

You also need to find out how and when you will be paid, and what types of services they will provide when the sale is over. Will they clean up the house and dispose of the unsold items, and if so, is there’s an extra charge for that? Also, make sure you get a copy of their contract and review it carefully before signing anything. For more information on choosing an estate sale company, see National Estate Sales Association online guide at NESA-USA.com, and click on “Consumer Education” then on “Find the Right Company.”

Exporters Dedicated to Their Goal Q:

My grandmother owned this porcelain vase in the early 1900s. It is decorated with palm trees and a boat sailing on a sea. The height is 7 inches, and it is 4 inches at the widest part at the top. Marked on the bottom are the words “Hand Painted Nippon” and the letter “M” in a wreath. There are no chips or cracks on the vase, and it is in ver y good condition. What can you tell me about my vase?

Marks on pottery and porcelain can be a treasure trove of information. They can help identify the maker, country of origin and vintage of an object. Marks are stamped, hand-painted or impressed. Some pieces have only a paper label that is removed by owners or lost over time. A plethora of mark shapes and letters that include animals, shields, crowns, banners, suns and stars have been used for centuries. There are excellent books of marks that help solve the mystery of the name of the factory that used a specific mark, the location, the type of material used, the date of manufacture and the years of factory operation. Pieces marked with only numbers are problematic and difficult to identify. Alas, I have no information on the history of your pitcher. Although its origin may remain a mystery, I’m sure you will continue to enjoy it.

The origin of objects marked only with a number may remain a mystery.

Your vase was made in Japan. According to the McKinley Tariff of 1890, objects must be marked with their county of origin. “Nippon” is the Japanese word for Japan, and it was included on marks on porcelain that was exported to the United States from 1890 to 1921. The letter “M” stands for Morimura Brothers and was used from 1891 to 1941. “Nippon,” ithe Japanese word Yutaka Morimura for Japan, is where this porcelain vase was made. and Baron Ichizaemon Morimura founded an exporting firm in Tokyo, Japan, in 1876 and soon opened a New York branch called Morimura Brothers. They were dedicated in their goal to provide exceptional art and porcelain that appealed to the American market. Similar scenes on Nippon porcelain were popular in the 1920s. Your vase would probably fetch $50 to $75. * * * This number is marked in black on the bottom of a potter y pitcher that I bought around 1995. There is no manufacturer name included, just the numbers. Friends have been curious about the mark and its significance, as have I. The pitcher appears to be

* On May 30, 1593, playwright Christopher Marlowe, 29, is killed in a tavern brawl. Marlowe, a compatriot of Shakespeare, was nearly denied his master’s degree from Cambridge, until advisers to Queen Elizabeth intervened. Marlowe had been a spy for the Queen. * On May 29, 1922, the U.S. Supreme Court rules that organized baseball does not violate antitrust laws as alleged by the Baltimore franchise of the defunct Federal League in 1915.

Adolf Hitler’s pet project was the mass production of an affordable vehicle that could sell for less than 1,000 Reich marks (about $140 at the time). The “People’s Car” was based on Austrian automotive engineer Ferdinand Porsche’s design. * On June 3, 1956, authorities in Santa Cruz, California, announce a total ban on rock and roll at public gatherings, calling the music “detrimental to both the health and morals of our youth.” A crowded and boistrous dance party attended by 200 teenagers the previous evening led to the decision. * On June 2, 1967, Capt. Howard Levy, 30, a dermatologist, is convicted by a court-martial of disobeying orders for refusing to instruct Green Beret medics on skin disease, calling it a “tool of political persuasion.” Levy was sentenced to three years at hard labor. * On June 1, 1990, President George H.W. Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev sign a historic agreement to end production of chemical weapons and begin the destruction of both nations’ reserves. * On May 31, 2005, W.

Famous Buildings (from page page 3) people from the Emperor Vespasian, opening in 80 AD. To celebrate the occasion, 100 days of games, gladiator combat events, and wild animal fights were held. The stone and concrete structure contained three stories with 80 arched entrances supported by semi-circular columns, and marble seats for up to 50,000 spectators. The arena was used consistently for several centuries, but by the 6th century, it had deteriorated from use, vandalism, lightning strikes and earthquakes. The Colosseum was abandoned, and soon became a quarry for local building projects, including cathedrals, as well as for fortifications defending the city. Restoration efforts were undertaken in the 1990s, and although two-thirds of the Colosseum has been destroyed, it remains one of the city’s most popular attractions. • The name of James Hoban is not well-known, but his accomplishment lives on. When thenSecretary of State Thomas Jefferson organized a competition to obtain the best design for the President’s House, a striking design was submitted by this Irish immigrant. Jefferson himself presented his own design; however, he and seven others were outdone by Hoban, who went on to design many other public buildings on the eastern seaboard. • The first cornerstone of the White House was ADVERTISING PROOF laid in the Fall of 1792, and it took until late Wed., 4/25/18 Final Changes DUE: 5:00 p.m.. 1798 to complete the exterior.
