• Although the Scots have been playing on the Links at St. Andrews throughout the 1400s, it wasn’t until 1552 that it was officially chartered by the Archbishop, giving the people of St. Andrews the right to play there. Up until 1764, the Old Course at St. Andrews had 22 holes. It was later reconfigured into 18 holes, which became the standard for the game worldwide. • Mary Queen of Scots, who ruled Scotland from 1542 to 1567, was an avid golfer who was strongly rebuked by her subjects for playing golf just a few days after her husband was murdered in 1567, failing to properly mourn his death.

• The well-known restaurant chain, Buffalo Wild Wings, didn’t get its start in Buffalo but rather in Columbus, Ohio. But the two founders Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery were former Buffalo residents who loved the chicken wings. After a move to Ohio in 1982, the pair opened up their first restaurant, a franchise that has grown to having an outlet in every U.S. state. They dish up about 21 million wings each week, although on Super Bowl Sunday, that number is close to 8 million on that day alone. A typical weekend at Buffalo Wild Wings has sales of about 6,000 wings at each restaurant, but that number jumps to 13,500 on Super Bowl Sunday.

Golf (from page one) • This queen is credited for bringing the word “caddy” to the game. She used French cadets to assist her on the course. “Cadet” is the French word for “student,” pronounced “cad-DAY” thus giving us our modern term. • Early golf balls were created from hard leather, but around 1724, the composition was changed to a thin leather stuffed with feathers. These remained popular until 1848 when the gutta percha ball was introduced, which was a solid ball made from the dried sap of a Sapodilla tree. Strips of the sap were softened in boiling water, then molded by hand, and placed in cold water to harden.

• What is today recognized as the world’s first organized golf club was founded in 1744. Established as the Gentlemen Golfers of Leith, the group would later become known as the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, a group that was responsible for drawing up the first set of official rules for the game. • The world’s oldest golf tournament is The Open Championship, better known as the British Open. It was first played in 1860 at Scotland’s Prestwick Golf Club, and played there until 1870. The Open is always played in Scotland, England, or Northern Ireland. The Open is one of the four major championships in men’s pro golf. The other three – The Masters, The U.S. Open, and PGA Championship – are all played in the United States. All four championships together are called the Grand Slam.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt By Samantha Weaver

* It was American astronomer, astrophysicist and author Carl Sagan who made the following sage observation: “The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.” * It’s not clear why lawmakers in the state of Alabama once thought it necessary to pass a law forbidding the operation of a vehicle while wearing a blindfold. * Though coffee has been around for about 700 years, instant coffee wasn’t invented until 1906 by George Washington (of course not that George Washington). The man who made coffee more convenient -and less palatable -- was from Belgium. * There seems to be quite a rivalry between the towns of Rosehill, North Carolina, and Wilmington, Delaware. Both locales claim to be the home of the world’s largest frying pan, with a diameter of 10 feet. This begs some questions, of course: How many eggs are being fried at once to require such a large piece of cookware? And what sort of stove is required to heat such a mammoth pan? * If you’re like the average American, you’ll eat about 35,000 cookies in your lifetime. * Those who study such things say that 70 percent of southern Nevada’s water use goes through the sprinklers for golf courses and lawns in Las Vegas. * It’s not surprising that the word “fondue” comes from the French verb “fondre,” which means “to melt.” * Do you know anyone who is xanthodontous? If so, you might want to refer them to someone specializing in cosmetic denTell them youmeans “having yellow tistry. “Xanthodontous” saw teeth.” their ad in Tidbits! *** Thought for the Day: “Laughter is a form of internal jogging.” -- Norman Cousins (c) 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.

Readers Show up in Droves With Best Inexpensive Requests

As I glanced at the day’s news headlines, ® I flinched when I read that a prominent U.S. politician (who shall remain nameless) had 10 by Mary Hunt people show up at a recent town hall meeting. Ten! That’s what I call an empty room, and it’s the fear of every speaker: that no one will show up because no one is listening. Before I bring up the subject of my email inbox, I need to tell you again how much I love to hear from my readers! I take every letter, note and message as an affirmation that I’m not speaking to an empty room. I love your tips, stories, questions, corrections and challenges. Now, about my inbox: It fills almost faster than I can read, so I create file folders for various subjects. When a folder gets full, I know it’s time to address that subject in an upcoming post. Once again, I’m working to clear out the folder labeled “Best Inexpensive Qs” in which hundreds of messages land that go something like this: “Please tell me exactly which (fill in the blank) is the Best Inexpensive option.” Specific details for where to find all of the following are located at EverydayCheapskate.com/ bestinexpensive2.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

HANDHELD GARMENT STEAMER. The Housmile Garment Steamer is a portable fabric steamer brush for clothes. It’s perfect for travel because it’s lightweight; it comes with two styles of brush heads; and it produces excellent steam. I much prefer its performance over the more traditional garment steamer. It’s great! It costs about $35. VACUUM SEALER. There are several brands of food sealers on the market, and my choice for the Best Inexpensive is the FoodSaver V4440 2-in-1 Automatic Vacuum Sealing System. If you use it religiously, it will cut your food costs remarkably. It costs about $115. VACUUM CLEANER. Without any doubt, the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional is the best vacuum out there. That it is also quite inexpensive is a wonderful bonus. The folks at Shark release new and upgraded versions almost continuously. I have three models of Shark Professional Lift-Away vacuums in my home. All of them produce amazing results, but the newest is even lighter and has maneuverability that lets me speed-vacuum with tremendous ease. It costs about $180.

INSTANT POT. There are quite a few models of Instant Pot, the multifunctional countertop kitchen appliance that functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, ROOM DEHUMIDIFIER. If you live where saute/browning, egg cooker, yogurt maker, steamer and warmer (depending on the model it gets unbearably humid this time of year, the you choose). The price varies greatly from one way to lower the humidity inside your home is to model to the next. My pick for the best is the get a good dehumidifier.

RenovaPLUS works on all types of solar systems, not just the ones installed by Renova. Someone can come out and do an inspection and help you determine if the system is working correctly, and if not, what action needs to be taken. They can also track down any warranty information and work to get any necessary repairs paid for by the manufacturer if the parts are still covered. The easiest thing if you don’t already have a system? Have a reputable local company do the installation in the first place.

American satirist Peter De Vries once said, “There are times when parenthood seems nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you.” With owners of aggressive dogs, the witticism hardly elicits a chuckle. There are many types of canine aggression: food aggression, territorial aggression, fear-based aggression, dominant aggression, protection aggression, predatory aggression, punishment aggression, pain-based aggression. Pinpointing the source of a dog’s aggression is instrumental to developing a safe and effective training regime. But it’s equally important to have realistic expectations about what it means to own an aggressive dog. Take the following letter from a reader: “My 5-year-old German shepherd is fine with my two roommates and me. We could take him by his back legs and drag him around the house if the mood were to strike us. I can remove bones from his mouth and put my hand in his food dish. He comes, leaves it and sits on command. If I tell him to stay, he will literally stay there for hours until I tell him to come here. I thought bringing him to college as my guard dog was a good idea, but it turns out he is too good at his job. “If friends come over, one second they will be petting him, the next they will be trying to fend him off. As soon as I call him off, he leaves, but he has successfully bitten eight people, broken skin three times, attacked countless times and ripped one shirt when he lunged onto a friend’s chest. I don’t understand what kind of aggression this is. Everyone thinks he is a beautiful dog, and he really is! I just can’t believe my peaceful giant has earned the nicknames among our friends (and the guys who do work around our house) as “Cujo” and “devil dog.” Please help me!” Setting Cujo loose in a room full of friends is a good way to make enemies. There are consequences to owning an aggressive dog -physical, psychological and legal consequences. This is why it’s imperative that the owners of these dogs keep their expectations firmly grounded.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Widows Must Sign Up for Benefits in Person Q:

I think you made an error in a recent column. You said anyone can file for Social Security benefits online. But when I tried to file for widow’s benefits online, I learned that I could not do that. Is it possible you were wrong?

A: Yes, I was. I checked, and sure enough,

a widow must file a claim in person either by phone or at her local Social Security office. I’m not sure if that has always been the case, or if it was a recent change. I’m guessing the latter because the Social Security Administration just got its hands slapped by the agency’s own Inspector General. He conducted an audit and discovered that SSA was not doing a good enough job of explaining the options a widow has when she signs up for Social Security benefits. And therein lies a story. But before I tell that story, I must make three things clear: First, these same rules would apply to a man eligible for widower’s benefits. But because 95 percent of all benefits paid to surviving spouses go to women, and because I don’t want to muddy up my column with a lot of laborious “he/she” and “him/her” pronouns, I’m going to address this column to women and widows. Second, the options I am going to discuss today only apply to a woman who has worked outside the home and who has earned her own Social Security retirement benefit. And third, these options will only work for a woman who becomes a widow before her full retirement age (currently age 66). Having said all that, I will have a message for other widows at the end of today’s column. As a general rule, if you file for reduced benefits, that benefit will remain reduced for the rest of your life. And a corollary rule says this: You usually cannot take reduced benefits on one record and later switch to higher benefits on another record. But those rules do not apply to widows. A woman could start out taking reduced retirement benefits on her own record and later (usually at age 66) switch to full widow’s benefits on her husband’s Social Security account. Or she could do the reverse: She could begin with reduced widow’s benefits and later change over to full retirement benefits. Let’s follow some examples. Mary is 61 years old when her husband dies. Although she is now retired, she had worked much of her life. Her own full retirement benefit is $1,850. Her husband’s full rate is $2,000. Mary could file for reduced widow’s benefits. At age 61, she would be due roughly 77 percent of her husband’s benefit, or $1,540 per month. She could receive that until age 66, when she could switch to 100 percent of her benefit, or $1,850. Or she could wait until age 70 to make the change, at which point she would get 132 percent of her retirement rate, or about $2,440. The latter sounds like a pretty attractive choice. And just to make it clear, Mary would have another option. If she waits until she is 62 years old, she could file for reduced retirement benefits first.

Does an Aspirin a Day Keep Heart Risk at Bay? DEAR DR. ROACH: A column in a popular consumer magazine states that taking a baby aspirin daily does more harm than good, and it should not be taken unless you have heart disease. I have been taking a baby aspirin daily for 10 years, and now I’m concerned. Your thoughts, please. -- G.D.

Quitting smoking is by far the most important action you can take to reduce your risk of developing lung disease, but there may be others. Avoiding airborne pollutants such as dusts and fumes is also important. Some preliminary evidence suggests that statin drugs might slow down COPD, but there are conflicting studies, and I don’t recommend them just for COPD. Regular exercise may help, and it certainly helps your heart and many other systems.

What Is the Difference Between Alzheimer’s and Dementia? DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: My aunt has been diagnosed with dementia, but the doctors are not sure whether she has Alzheimer’s disease. I'm finding this very confusing. Could you explain what the difference is between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia? I always understood that they're the same thing. --Trying To Understand Dear Trying: Many people use the words “Alzheimer’s disease” and “dementia” interchangeably, but they are indeed not the same thing. In fact, you can have a form of dementia that is completely unrelated to Alzheimer’s. Here’s what you should know:

Dementia versus Alzheimer’s

Dementia is a general term for a set of symptoms that includes memory loss, impaired communication skills, a decline in reasoning and changes in behavior. It most commonly strikes elderly people and was once commonly referred to as senility.

side effects and certain infectious diseases can cause forms of dementia that are reversable. Another treatable form of dementia is a condition known as normal pressure hydrocephalus, which is caused by a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain that can be relieved by surgical implantation of a shunt to drain off the excess fluid. This type of dementia is often preceded or accompanied by difficulty walking and incontinence.

In Alzheimer’s disease, dementia gets progressively worse, sometimes to the point where patients cannot carry out daily activities. In some severe cases, patients cannot speak or respond to their environment, and are unable to swallow or walk.

Alzheimer’s disease is a specific illness that is the most common cause of dementia. Though many diseases can cause dementia, Alzheimer’s – which affects 5.7 million Americans today – accounts for 60 percent to 80 percent of dementia cases, which is why you often hear the two terms used interchangeably. But there are many other conditions that can cause symptoms of dementia. For example, vascular dementia, the second most common cause, accounts for about ten percent of dementia cases. Vascular dementia is caused by a stroke or poor blood flow to the brain. Other degenerative disorders that can cause dementia include Lewy body dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Frontotemporal dementia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), Huntington’s disease and Korsakoff Syndrome. Some patients may also have more than one form of dementia, referred to as mixed dementia. Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells, but the symptoms can vary depending on

WHAT comes NEXT? We are all forgetful sometimes. In fact, memory loss can be a natural part of aging. But forgetfulness that increasingly impacts everyday life can be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease.

Chair Design Inspired by 17th-Century Jacobean Furniture Q:

This is a photo of an antique chair that has been in my family for generations. It is in mint condition, and we think it belonged to our great-great-grandmother sometime in the late 1800s or early 1900s. We would like to know anything about its histor y and insurance value.

You have a reproduction of a 17th-century Jacobean armchair. Seventeenth-century Jacobean furniture was made during the reign of King James I of England. He ruled England from 1603 to 1625. He is well-known for the King James version of the Bible and issuing the charter for American colonies in Virginia. During the Jacobean Era, the Puritan movement took hold; the educated class Reproductions of Jacobean furniture were made in the late was growing, 1800s and early 1900s. and exploration of the trade routes to the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean began. Jacobean furniture designs were ornate and heavily carved. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, factory-made reproductions were in demand. Your chair is circa 1900 and should be insured for $300 to $500. * * * This mark is on the bottom of a beer stein that was bought over 25 years ago. The stein is decorated with a blue-gray glaze and a drinking scene in a tavern, and has a pewter lid. It is 9 inches tall and in perfect condition. I can’t remember how much I paid for it. I would like to know its current value and

The mark you provided was used by Reinhold Merkelbach in Hohr-Grenzhausen, Germany. The pottery was founded by Wilhelm Merkelbach in the Westerwald town of Hohr in 1845. The mark you provided is one of his early marks and was used around 1895. As a rule, the pottery also included a mold number and a liter size. Take another look at the bottom of your stein; it should include the mold/design and size. The steins were either blue-gray stoneware or cream stoneware. Most, but not all, had pewter lids. Some steins had recessed bases for music boxes.

Reinhold Merkelbach was founded in 1845.

The pottery had several alliances, the first with Steinzeugwerke GmbH from 1912 to 1918 and the second with Goebel Company from 1982 to 1988. It is now known as Merkelbach Manufaktur GmbH. Your stein was made around 1895 and would probably fetch $75 to $150 in an antiques shop. * * *

Douglas MacArthur to evict by force 20,000 Bonus Marchers from the nation’s capital. The World War I veterans were seeking early payment of money they were owed. When 2,000 refused to leave, MacArthur set their camps on fire. * On July 26, 1956, the Suez Crisis begins when Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalizes the British and French-owned Suez Canal, hoping to charge tolls. The Suez Canal was completed by French engineers in 1869.

Golf (from page page 3) (one stroke over), a double bogey (two strokes over), or a triple bogey (three strokes over). • American golfer Ab Smith had an excellent shot back in 1899, which he described as a “bird of a shot,” giving golfers the term “birdie,” one under par. • When a golfer sinks the ball into the cup on the first stroke from the tee, it’s a hole-in- one, also called an ace. The average weekend golfer’s odds of making a hole in one are about 12,500 to 1, but those odds change considerably to 2,500 to 1 for the pro golfer. Those who hope to make two holes in one during a single round are looking at odds of about 67,000,000 to 1. GOLF MILESTONES

• The 1900 Paris Olympic Games included the game of golf, with 22 male and female athletes from 4 countries competing in a 36-hole game. It was an Olympic event at the following Olympics in St. Louis in 1904. The sport was absent from the Games for the next 112 years before being revived in 2016 at the Rio de Janeiro games, when 120 golfers from 41 countries participated. • Tiger Woods made his first hole-in- one at age six, with another 17 after that. However, he’s not the youngest person to boast that feat. The youngest hole-in-one honor belongs to Colorado’s Coby Orr, who, at age five, accomplished this in Littleton, CO in 1975. • Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus had his first PGA Tour winnings, $33.33, at the 1962 L.A. Open. Later that year, he was the winner of the U.S. Open, receiving $17,500. He finished the year with more than $60,000 in prize money. In 1963, at age 22, he became the then-youngest golfer to win the Masters. He won again in 1965 and 1966, becoming the tournament’s first back-to-back winner. In 1986, at age 46, Nicklaus was the oldest player to win The Masters. His final round of pro golf was the 2005 British Open, played at the St. Andrews course. 

Watch It Go Keeping your eye on the ball has been a misleading phrase for decades of golf instruction. The worst misuse of the concept results when players try to keep their head down or the eyes facing the ground long after the ball has been struck. These golfers get stuck not transferring weight correctly and inhibiting proper arms swing release in the follow through. It’s better to simply allow the head to turn toward the target with the follow through. Players like Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson even turn their head toward the target before the ball is struck. “Looking off the ball” was a principle made popular by teacher Jimmy Ballard, who hated the eyes down syndrome. So if you do watch the ball take off in flight toward the target, you’ll truly be ADVERTISING PROOF keeping your eye on ball. Finalthe Changes DUE: 5:00
