Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt By Samantha Weaver

The Secret Ingredient in Yummy Chocolate Cake Plus More Great Reader Tips

* It was French author, philosopher and journalist Albert Camus who made the following sage observation: “Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”

Once again, it’s great-reader-tip day, when I reach into my overflowing email inbox ® to pull out handy hints and great ideas sent in by you, my Dear Readers. The tips you send by Mary Hunt me are always appreciated, often amusing and frequently make me wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

* Famously flamboyant country singer and songwriter Dolly Parton once entered a Dolly Parton look-alike contest -- and she lost. * If you’re a sailor you’re probably familiar with the hazards of being out on the water: high seas, storms, hidden reefs. You probably wouldn’t count whales among the dangers, but you’d be wrong. In 2010, on a day sail out of Table Bay Harbor in South Africa, a couple on a 30-foot sailboat were whalewatching when one got too close for comfort. A 40-ton whale they had been viewing breached right next to the boat and landed on the deck, breaking off the mast and then thrashing around before sliding back into the water. The whale lost some skin and blubber, but was otherwise unharmed; the couple were lucky to still have a seaworthy craft and made it safely back to the harbor.

CHOCOLATE CAKE. I use 1 cup of leftover coffee in my chocolate cake mixes instead of a cup of water. The bottom of the pot is the best! -- Vicki

is very expensive. One day at Walmart, I noticed that chicken scratch food was really inexpensive, around $8 for a 40-pound bag. I thought I’d try it, and it works great. We feed a lot of quail and Hungarian partridges; they love the mix of grains in chicken scratch, and it is less than half the price of expensive bird food mixes. The little birds seem to like it, too. -- Linda KEEP SQUIRRELS AT BAY. Keep squirrels off your bird feeders by spraying poles with WD-40. While birds will still be able to enjoy the feeders, squirrels won’t get enough traction to climb. WD-40 also works as a pigeon repellent on balconies and roofs, because they hate its smell. -- Bob EPSOM SALT IN LAUNDRY. My son can have really bad odor and smelly shirts. I have found that using Epsom salt (1/4 to 1/2 cup) in the wash cycle in addition to my regular detergent gets rid of the stinky smell in all my clothes and towels without having to use hot water. -- Marcine TUES., MAY 22

they are reviewing are just as valid.

Q: What other criteria should I

consider?

Is the company truly local? Is it headquartered in the Coachella Valley? That guarantees familiarity with HOA’s, cities and local utilities preferences and policies, so there are no delays, and your system is installed to withstand the harsh desert weather. A company from another area is simply not experienced in all these areas.

Q: Good point. What else? A: What solar panel will they

recommend for your home? Is it specified on their website or will they simply grab what’s available at the time? If it’s their own panel, can you find other information about it from another source? Perhaps even more important than reviews from other people about the company and their installations, are there independent third party reviews of the panels the company will propose for your home? That’s what you’ll be living with for the next 20 – 40 years.

You’re right – that’s important. One last point?

Is the company involved in the community? Do they give back and have all local residents as their team members? This not only helps ensure you have terrific customer service, but keeps your money in the community where it helps the local economy. Find the companies like Renova that meet these criteria and if solar makes sense for your family, you’ll enjoy substantial savings for years to come. 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

By Matthew Margolis

Creators News Service

The Reality of Babies and Dogs In comic strips, in country songs, in Disney films, dogs and babies go together like peanut butter and jelly. In real time, where potential dangers and acts of instinct and nature can’t be edited out, dogs and babies require constant supervision and should never be left alone in a room together. Recently, in Jacksonville, N.C., a 12-weekold pit bull chewed the toes off the left foot of a 4-month-old infant as the child’s mother slept in the same room. Robie Lynn Jenkins had taken medication that induced a sleep deep enough to drown out her infant’s cries through the night. Jenkins’ boyfriend, Tremayne Spillman, was also asleep in the room. The couple claim they were watching the puppy as a favor to a friend who is in jail on gun charges. They now face charges of their own --- felony child abuse. Before everyone screams, “Pit bull!” a reminder: Only a month earlier, in Lexington, Ky., the owners of a Native American Indian Dog spotted the family pup trotting toward the woods behind their back yard with their newborn infant in its jaws. Four-day-old Alexander James Smith suffered two collapsed lungs, a skull fracture and numerous cuts and bruises. A year before that, in Tulsa, Okla., a 6-weekold black Labrador fatally mauled 2-month-old Zane Alen Earles as he sat unattended in an infant swing in the family’s living room. Several relatives were home at the time. In January 2008, 8-month-old Andrew Stein was inexplicably and fatally mauled by a 7-year-old chocolate Doberman pinscher, the Stein family pet from puppyhood, with no history of aggression. A 4-pound Pomeranian killed a 6-week-old girl in Los Angeles as she lay in her crib. Afterward, LA sheriff’s Deputy Cruz Solis commented, “Obviously it doesn’t take much to kill a 6-week-old baby, but it’s not something that happens with that breed.” Obviously, it is. The point is, no dog, no matter how small, no matter how gentle, no matter how proven his

SENIOR NEWS LINE

UNITED STATES: Seniors who have had serious financial shocks experience increased mortality from all causes. A study followed 8,700 seniors (some wealthy and some not) for 20 years after being assessed in 1994. “Negative wealth shock” was considered as losing more than 75 percent of net worth over a two-year period. Finding: Participants were 50 percent more likely to die if they suffered negative wealth shock during a two-year period. Finding: Those who only experienced low income during their lives were at an even greater risk of death.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

The Basics of Applying for Social Security Benefits I’ve saved up a bunch of questions that have to do with applying for various kinds of Social Security benefits. Frankly, I think of most of them as rather elementary. But then I remind myself that I’ve dealt with Social Security issues almost every day of my life for the past 45 years. And most of my readers deal with the program, at least in a major way, only once in their life -- at the time they file for benefits. So I hope those of you pushing Social Security age get something out of this.

I want to retire when I am 66 in September. When should I apply for benefits?

The Social Security Administration recommends that you file three months before your eligibility date. So you could start the ball rolling now already. But there really is no need to rush. Most Social Security retirement claims are very simple and SSA processes them in a matter of days. So you could wait until September if you wanted to and your first check (the check that comes in October) will show up on time. Still, better safe than sorry. So apply sometime this month or next.

How do you recommend I file for my Social Security benefits?

What documents do I need to file for my Social Security benefits?

Your situation is slightly different than the woman who asked the prior question. In her case, her husband was getting retirement benefits, so the Social Security people have ready access to his records and his number via their beneficiary database. But your husband was young I recommend you relax. The local rep- and still working, so his Social Security number resentative you talked to has nothing to do with the is not so readily available.

I haven’t seen my Social Security card in years. I know it’s buried in the house somewhere, but I just don’t know where. I’m

I signed up for my Social Security retirement at my local office last week. To be honest, I was a bit leer y about the whole process because the clerk I was dealing with was either new at his job or not the brightest bulb in the pack (if you get my drift). I am concerned that he will make mistakes in the calculation of my Social Security checks. What do you recommend I do?

My ex-husband recently died. He was only 45 years old. His two children, ages 14 and 12, have lived with me since the divorce. I understand they are now eligible for sur vivor benefits. But I do not have my ex’s Social Security number. How can I possibly file for benefits on his account?

It depends on the kind of benefits you are trying to get. Think of it this way: You usually have to provide evidence to support your eligibility. For example, if it’s for a retirement claim, you need to prove you are old enough to qualify. So to do that, you need a birth certificate. If you are filing for spousal benefits, you need to prove not only your age but also that you are married to the person on whose Social Security record you are applying. So that would be a marriage certificate. If you are a divorced spouse, you’d need to provide your divorce papers as well. If you want to apply for widow’s benefits, in addition to proving your age and marriage, you need a death certificate, too. In all cases, SSA wants to see original copies of these documents, or copies certified by the record holder.

Relax and stop looking for your Social Security card. You do not need the card when you sign up for Social Security.

claim benefits on his record. But the people at the Social Security Administration will be able to get that number for you. So stop searching and worrying.

frantically tr ying to find it now that I am getting ready to file for my Social Security benefits. Do I need my Social Security card to apply?

May 7, 2018

About 95 percent of us have straightforward Social Security claims. In other words, you don’t want to play games trying to beat the system. You just want to file for your retirement benefits. In that case, I strongly recommend you file online at www.socialsecurity.gov. It’s simple and easy. I did so a few years back and it probably took me a halfhour to finish the process. If you do have a scenario that you think might be complicated (like trying to get a combination of retirement and spousal benefits), then you should probably do that in person. Call SSA at 800-772-1213 and either file by phone or set up an appointment to talk to someone at your local Social Security office.

ANSWER: Primidone, a medication indicated for seizures, often is used off-label for essential tremor. The normal dose for essential tremor is 250-500 mg at night, but doses up to 750 mg sometimes are used. For seizures, the highest recommended dose is 2,000 mg, so although yours is at the high end of normal for essential tremor (“essential,” by the way, simply means we don’t know what is causing it; it isn’t essential for anything), you still are at a dose that’s well below the safe limit. I suspect that because you have been on it for so long, your body is used to this dose. The usual starting dose is 25 mg. Propranolol is used for many conditions, including high blood pressure and preventing migraines, but its use in essential tremor also is offlabel, meaning that the Food and Drug Administration has not approved the drug for use for this condition. “Off-label” doesn’t necessarily mean your prescription is wrong or dangerous, only that it hasn’t been approved by the FDA. In your case, the combination of primidone and propranolol frequently is used and recommended in the medical literature. For essential tremor, experts have recommended doses up to 320 mg per day,

Tips for Living with Low Vision DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: What resources can you recommend to help seniors with vision loss? My husband, who is 76, has macular degeneration that has progressed to the point that he can’t do a lot of his routine activities anymore. He has become very discouraged and depressed. --Looking for Help Dear Looking: Unfortunately, there are around 15 million Americans like your husband, living with macular degeneration today. Over time, this progressive disease can rob people of their central vision, making everyday tasks like driving a car, reading the newspaper or watching television extremely challenging. His discouragement is quite understandable. Here are some resources that can help:

To find a vision rehabilitation service in your area, call the American Foundation for the Blind referral line at 800-232-5463 or visit VisionAware.org/directory. Or, if you use a smartphone or tablet, download their VisionConnect app (see AFB.org/VisionConnect), which connects you to all types of low-vision resources in your area. If, however, you don’t live near a vision rehabilitation service, you can also get help from an occupational therapist (OT), who can provide low vision training in your home. Medicare, if prescribed by your eye doctor or healthcare provider, covers this. Online Help Another convenient place to find help for your husband is online at VisionAware. org. This free website, created by the American Foundation for the Blind and the Reader’s Digest Partners for Sight Foundation, is designed to help older adults who are losing their sight.

Page 13

your husband stay active and independent, including product reviews that are published in their online magazine called AccessWorld that you can access at AFB.org/aw. Other Resources Some other good resources that can help include: the Hadley Institute (Hadley.edu, 800-323-4238), which offers dozens of free online instructional videos to help the blind or visually impaired live independently. Ears for Eyes (EarsForEyes.info, 800-843-6816) that provides free audio lessons that teach low-vision adaptive daily living skills. And Living Well with Low Vision (LowVision.PreventBlindness.org, 800-331-2020), which offers up-to-date information and free materials for people living with sever vision impairment.

This mark is on the back of a white porcelain plate that belonged to my greatgrandmother. It is decorated with a pineapple, blueberries, an apple and cherries. The edge is pierced, trimmed in gold, 8 inches in diameter and in mint condition. My plate is a treasured family heirloom, and I plan to pass it along to my daughter this summer. Anything you can tell me about its histor y will be appreciated. by Anne McCollam

Marble Turtle Top Shields Table Q:

Enclosed is a photo of a Victorian marble-top table that I have. It is in ver y good condition, and the marble has no cracks. The base is walnut, and the marble top is beveled. Could this be a Civil War piece? Anything you can tell me about the histor y and value of my table will be appreciated.

Marble-top table is circa 1875

The Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865. Your table is an example of late Victorian Renaissance Revival and was made around 1875. The shape of the marble is often called “turtle top.” The value of your table could be anywhere from $150 to $300. *** I have an orange glass shade that was a part of a hanging light. I believe it was made some time in the 1920s or 1930s. It is decorated with birds sitting on branches. Originally it was in an old home in California that was built in the 1920s, and it is in perfect condition. Does my shade have any value?

Glass shades made in the early 1900s were available in a plethora of styles, shapes, designs, colors and glass finishes. Many were decorated with Art Nouveau or Art Deco designs, realistic and stylistic flowers. They were available as frosted, iridescent or clear. You shade may also have been intended for a wall sconce. Your circa-1920s glass shade would probably be worth $25 to $75.

Puzzle Solutions

Carl Schumann Porcelain Factory was founded in 1881.

Carl Schumann Porcelain Factory, owned by Carl Schumann, made your plate. It was located in Arzberg, Bavaria, Germany, and founded in 1881. The factory’s porcelain decorated with fruits and flowers was in great demand. The Schumann family owned and operated the business until 1981. After the reunification of Germany, they established an alliance with another factory. Mismanagement, disagreements over direction and financial difficulties forced Schumann into bankruptcy in 1994. Your plate was made around 1918 and would probably be worth $25 to $50. * * * Address your questions to Anne McCollam, P. O. Box 247, Notre Dame, IN 46556.

Today, the Smithsonian Institution is composed of 19 museums. * On June 26, 1945, delegates from 50 nations sign the United Nations Charter, establishing the world body as a means of saving “succeeding generations from the scourge of war.” Four years later, the cornerstone was laid for United Nations headquarters, in New York City. * On June 28, 1953, workers at a Chevrolet plant in Flint, Michigan, hand assemble the first Corvette. The car carried a price tag of $3,490 and could go from zero to 60 mph in under 12 seconds. * On June 25, 1969, the U.S. Navy turns 64 river patrol gunboats valued at $18.2 million over to the South Vietnamese Navy so that they could assume more responsibility for the war, raising the number of boats in its navy to more than 600. * On June 30, 1975, less than a week after her divorce from Sonny Bono, Cher tied the knot with rock star Gregg Allman, only to file for divorce from him just nine days later. She then reconsidered and remained married to Allman until 1979. * On June 29, 1989, in reaction to the Chinese government’s brutal massacre of protesters in Tiananmen Square in Beijing earlier in the month, the House of Representatives unanimously passes a package of sanctions against the People’s Republic of China. China remained largely unrepentant. * On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong reverts back to Chinese rule, ending Britain’s 99 years of rule over Hong Kong. In exchange, China pledged to preserve Hong Kong’s capitalist system. (c) 2018 Hearst Communications, Inc.

Disney World (from page page 3) • The Magic Carpets of Aladdin features a camel that spits water at passing guests. An employee sits away from view near the camel, pressing the “spit” button whenever an unsuspecting guest is in range. • The vehicles that move guests through The Haunted Mansion are called “Doom Buggies.” They pass crypts with humorous names inscribed, such as I.M. Ready, Rustin Peese, Pearl E. Gates, Dustin T. Dust, Asher T. Ashes, and Phillip D. Coffin.

DISNEY TRIVIA FACTS

• The nightly fireworks display at the Magic Kingdom costs about $33,000 per event, making Disney the single largest consumer of fireworks in the world. • A group of feral cats live inside the compound, where they help keep the rodent population under control. They are also fed at several permanent feeding stations and they all receive proper medical care.

YOUR AD

• Gum isn’t sold anywhere on Disney World property, saving employees from scraping it off of pathways, railings, and tables.

Give your advertising message exceptional visibility in full color in this TABLE OF weekly 2”x 6” fixed position.

• Employees are instructed to always point with two fingers when giving directions, because pointing with one finger is an insult in some cultures. • The costume department consists of 1.2 million pieces of clothing, making it the largest wardrobe department in the world. • Employees whose duties make them visible to guests are referred to as “Cast Members.” • If you were to wash and dry a large load of laundry every day for the next 44 years, you’d clean about as much linen as the Disney World laundry crew does for the Cast Members in a single day. • The Disney Transportation System is the third largest bus system in Florida with over 290 buses in their fleet. • Ever wonder what Disney’s electric bill is for all of this? In fact, it’s nothing. Disney World has its own power generating plant. As Walt once reminded his staff of "Imagineers" who skillfully brought his creative visions to reality, “I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing -- that this was all started by a mouse.” 

Pop the Short Ones Every once in a while all golfers go through a stretch of poor putting from inside four feet. These “knee knockers” sometimes become more of a mental hurdle than a challenge on mechanics or green reading. Rather than trying to stick to a rigid set of principles on your form, try experimenting with an old school type of “pop” stroke to change things up. Many golfers error with short backswings and long follow throughs on short putts, so try reversing the image with a shorter follow through. In fact, try hitting these short putts with roughly an eight inch backstroke (minimally) and then stop the follow through immediately upon impact.

There may be a tightening of the arms and hands to hold this follow through from going too far forward. You’ll be feeling like the stroke “pops” at the ball, rather than releasing through. One of the advantages of the pop stroke is that it reduces the putter face’s rotation through ADVERTISING PROOF impact, which causes the majority of missed putts. DUE: Finalshort Changes 5:00
