What's New (from page one) by 21 million people every year, while over 40 million visitors tour through Central Park. The most visited location in the entire U.S. is Times Square, with more than 42 million travelers visiting the world-famous landmark each year.

• When The New York Times was founded in 1851, it sold for a penny per copy. Although the Times has won 130 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other newspaper, it has never been the nation’s leader in circulation, currently ranking third behind USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. When the rest of the world's newspapers began adding color on their pages in 1982, The “Times” didn't follow suit until 1993, making them one of the last papers to do so.

Christa McAuliffe was a social studies teacher at the high school in Concord, New Hampshire when she was selected as the first teacher in space. She tragically perished in the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986.

like Hamlet over the question of: To housebreak, or to paper train?

Those with big dogs don’t think twice about it. Owners of Great Danes and Newfoundlands unanimously agree that they don’t want their dogs doing their business in the house. Which is exactly what paper training is: teaching your dog to do his business in the house.

The truth about paper training is that you really can’t do it. Not successfully. Not consistently.

It isn’t natural. In fact, it goes against a dog’s very nature.

Dogs are territorial. When walking your dog, I’m sure you’ve noticed that his sniffer kicks into overdrive. That’s what dogs do: They go outside, they sniff around, they lift their leg and they mark their territory. Usually, they mark more than one spot. Left to their own devices, they’d mark many more spots than the average dog owner will tolerate on a single excursion.

Paper training your dog means expecting him to go on the same spot every day, day after day, month and month, year after year, without fail.

It means asking him to forgo a very basic instinct.

This is why housebreaking is the better choice for big dogs and small dogs. Housebreaking is teaching your dog to do his business outside and only outside. It allows your dog to be a dog, and it allows your house to remain clean, sanitary and free of unpleasant surprises.

I talked to a man with a 7-year-old Yorkie the other day. From Day One, his dog was paper trained. And those piddle pads worked for four years, when suddenly and without warning, everything changed. This man and his wife spent the next three and a half years dodging puddles and picking up poop. Now, their house stinks, their carpets are a mess, and they called me right after the straw broke the camel’s back. That’s right. He stepped in it.

When you have a little dog, it’s easy to get lazy. And paper training is the lazy man’s solution to the age-old question of what to do when your

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Supplemental Security Income -- It Is a Welfare Program

This is going to be a column about the Supplemental Security Income, or SSI. In other words, it will NOT be a column about Social Security. Supplemental Security Income and Social Security are two entirely different government programs. They really have nothing to do with each other, other than the fact that they are both managed by the Social Security Administration.

I’m emphasizing the difference between the two programs because millions of people think SSI stands for Social Security Income. Every single day, I get emails from people who tell me they are getting SSI, when they really mean to say they are getting Social Security. So if you are one of those people, then please remember you are getting Social Security, NOT SSI.

But the reason I’m writing this column today is because of an email I got from someone whose son really is getting SSI. Here it is.

Q:

My son, who is now 42, has been disabled since birth and is getting SSI. He started getting SSI when he was 18. I will be turning 62 and plan to file for my Social Security. I’ve been told my son might lose his SSI when I go on Social Security. Can you explain that? And by the way, in a past column, you referred to SSI as a welfare program. I beg to differ. I would never have filed for any kind of welfare benefits for my son. He is getting a supplemental Social Security check.

A: I will explain what will happen with your son’s SSI checks when you go on Social Security in a bit. But first, let me straighten out the benefits your son is currently getting.

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase: “If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck -- it’s a duck.” Well, if a government program looks like a welfare program, runs like a welfare program and has rules like a welfare program -- it’s a welfare program. And believe me, SSI is a welfare program. To explain this further, let me give a quick history lesson.

For most of its history, our country did not have a national welfare system. Even though there was federal money involved, welfare programs were administered by states and sometimes even by cities and counties. And there were wildly different eligibility rules from one place to another.

Someone might qualify for welfare benefits in one jurisdiction, but someone down the road in the next county in even poorer circumstances couldn’t get benefits.

And there were all kinds of stories of these local welfare offices being run like little fiefdoms.

In other words, if you knew the right person, or maybe if you were the right religion, or had the right color skin, or if you didn’t speak English with an accent, you were much more likely to qualify for a little help from the system.

Enter Richard Nixon, or more precisely, some higher ups in the Nixon Administration. In the early 1970s, they realized that something needed

to be done about our nation’s welfare mess. Their Security retirement, your son is going to be eligible solution was to standardize and federalize the sys- for what are known as “disabled adult child” benetem. They set up one national welfare program with fits on your record. He will be due an amount equal one set of rules that would apply to everyone in the to 50% of your full retirement rate, even though you country. They called the program Supplemental Se- will be getting reduced age 62 benefits.

So let’s say your FRA benefit is $2,800 per curity Income and they gave it to the Social Secu- rity Administration to run because that agency had month.

may cause you to lose it. In addition, widows and widowers of military personnel killed in the line of duty may lose their benefits if they remarry before age 57, and survivors of federal civil servants that receive a pension will forfeit it if they remarry before 55.

Alimony: If you are receiving alimony from an ex-spouse, it will almost certainly end if you remarry and might even be cut off if you live together.

College aid: If you have any children in college receiving financial aid, getting married and adding a new spouse’s income to the family could affect what he or she receives.

To get help with these issues, consider hiring an estate planner who can draw up a plan to protect both you and your partner’s interests.
