STATUE OF LIBERTY (from page 2)

● It was noted American science fiction author Philip K. Dick who made the following sage observation: “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” ● The first chocolate factory in the United States was established even before the states were united. Back in 1765, two enterprising men named John Hanan and James Baker chose Dorchester, Mass., as the site for their factory, which they mechanized by using waterpower. ● If you’re like the average American, you eat 23 quarts of ice cream every year. ● You might be surprised to learn that the given name of iconic Apache leader Geronimo, Goyathlay, translates as “one who yawns.” And the very name Apache isn’t what the tribe originally called itself; it’s word from the Zuni Indian language, and it means “enemy.”

the part of the veteran -- drug use, for example -can lead to punishment such as fines, re-arrest or jail time. The VTC program isn’t only about intervention with the justice system. Help also is available for housing, transportation, job training and search, and medical and mental-health treatment. Another program, Veterans Justice Outreach, centers on assisting veterans whose mental illness led to the commission of crimes. Rather than jail, each veteran is assigned to a justice outreach specialist at a VA medical center for assessment, treatment planning and referral. The specialist coordinates with the court system and also may train local law enforcement about dealing with veterans who have PTSD or traumatic brain injury and provide services to incarcerated veterans. For more information, go online to www.ptsd. va.gov and put VJO in the search box.

Veterans Treatment Court

Veterans who have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) sometimes act out and commit crimes as a result of their mental-health issues. Veterans Treatment Court was developed as an intermediary stop for veterans who would have ended up incarcerated for their crimes.

(Wuzzles answers on page 16)

Barking is as natural as breathing. Triggered by a state of excitement, barking is a dog’s means of communicating anger, loneliness, fear, playfulness or a need for something. This is a debt relief agency. I help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code. Excessive barking is barking’s obnoxious cousin.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margeneau

Agency Checkup Nothing To Fear Q:

I am a certified public accountant. One of my clients, who signed up for his Social Security about a year ago, just got a letter from Social Security’s “Office of Quality Assurance.” The people there want to redo his claim for benefits. And they are asking him to bring in his militar y discharge papers (he was in the Army 40 years ago), his W-2 records for the past 10 years and other documents. What’s going on? He’s ver y worried about this.

Tell your client to relax. This really is a “no big deal” kind of thing -- from his perspective, anyway. But it is a big deal to the Social Security Administration. The SSA’s Office of Quality Assurance takes a small sampling of Social Security cases and redevelops them. It’s not really to see whether he’s being paid correctly, although they will check into that. But your client shouldn’t worry about this, because historically, Social Security benefit calculations have a very high degree of accuracy. Statistics show that people, in part because of these kinds of reviews, are getting the correct benefit amount about 99 percent of the time. Instead, this quality review is more of a checkup on Social Security’s internal claims processing procedures. For example, as part of a normal application, the SSA almost never asks for military records, because one’s military service (and any possible Social Security credit one might be due because of that service) already is recorded in Social Security files. But as part of this review, the SSA asks to see your client’s military papers to help verify that its records of military service are accurate. And by the way, if he can’t easily put his hands on his military records, the SSA will help him obtain them. The same is true for his W-2 forms. The administration just wants to help document that its earnings records are accurate, which, again, they are almost all the time. Although I’m not totally sure of this, I think these reviews are voluntary. So if this is really bothering your client, ask him to check with the SSA about opting out of the review. * * *

My husband died at age 52 about 12 years ago. I am now 62 and thinking of retiring. Someone told me I should consider filing for widow’s benefits. But because my husband died so many years ago -- when wages were less than they are today -- I’m sure I will get much more on my own record, even though I made less than he did when he was alive. Do you think I should file for widow’s benefits?

I think you will be surprised at the amount of your potential widow’s benefits.

Metal Beer Tip Trays Are Popular Collectibles Q:

This is a photo of a metal tray that I bought at a garage sale. Marked along the top edge are the words “Christian Feigenspan Brewing Co. Newark, N.J.” At the bottom of the edge are the words “A. Asti -- Amer. Can Co -71-A -- PON.” The tray is round and measures 13 inches in diameter, just less than 2 inches deep. It is decorated with a portrait of a Victorian young woman. It is in excellent condition. What can you tell me about this tray?

You have a beer tip tray that was made by American Can Co. for Christian Feigenspan Brewing Co. The brewery was founded in Newark, N. J., in 1875 and closed in 1943. They started out as Christian Feigenspan and Co., and the name was changed to Christian Feigenspan Brewing Co. in 1933. Angelo Asti is the name of the artist who created the original painting of the young woman. “PON” stands for the “Pride of Newark.” Based on the 1933 name change, your tray was made sometime between 1933 and 1943. Your beer tray would probably be worth $65 to $125.

Christian Feigenspan Brewing Co. operated from 1875 to 1943.

I found a Jackie Kennedy paperdoll set stored away in my basement that I had as a child. It is probably over 30 years old, still in the original, unopened package and still in perfect condition. Printed on the front are the words “Jackie -- She’s Magnetic” and the full color paper doll is 11 inches tall. There are a variety of outfits and accessories that go with the set, all unopened. I am curious to know if this can be considered a collector item and whether the set has any value.

Paper dolls are always a collectible item, and your set would probably fetch $15 to $20 in an antiques shop. * * * MIKE THOMPSON’S RV SUPER STORES ®

• A revised definition of “service animal” was recently passed in the United States, effective March 15, 2011: It reads, “Service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition.” ADVERTISING PROOF

Many golf instructors teach that one grip works for all your shots, but tour players change their grip with the type of shot they are playing. Your hands are the only part of your body in direct contact with the club. How the hands are positioned in the grip in relation to the clubface directly affects how the ball spins through the air. Let’s start with what I call a “square” grip, with Spin the Ball Away from Trouble by Changing Your Grip the thumbs square to the grooves on the clubface It is a common rule of some golf instructors to have one grip for all your shots.

PHOBIAS (continued): • Some phobias relate to what’s up above, such as the sun (heliophobia), the clouds (nephophobia), the moon (selenophobia), and the stars (siderophobia). Some folks are just afraid of looking up – they are called anablephobes. • Not all phobias seem that abnormal or uncommon. Lots of people might have a fear of death, known as necrophobia. But those with an extreme form might be terrified of being buried alive. A nosocomephobe has a fear of hospitals, a verminophobe is afraid of germs, and a hydrophobe has an irrational fear of water. • Individuals suffering from extreme agoraphobia rarely leave their homes, due to their fear of public or open spaces and the inescapable situations that may occur there. Only home is safe. • Some phobias can be a learned behavior that comes from listening to others describe a traumatic event. An individual in one’s life can trigger a phobia, such as peladophobia, the fear of bald people. Those with nosto-phobia, a fear of returning home, may be able to contribute their panic to a specific incident. • People who are afraid of looking into mirrors have cataptrophobia, while those with cyberphobia have a fear of working with computers. A person with an anxiety about memories is a mnemophobe. • Don’t confuse levophobia, the fear of objects to a person’s left, with dextrophobia, the fear of objects to the right. • Although some of us fear the possibility of cancer, an extreme carcinophobe will convince himself he has cancer because he touched someone who has it.
