The Big One:
Prepare now for an earthquake by appreciating the science behind it
By Alison Elsner For DMHN
T
he not so good news: the Coachella Valley will slide north of San Francisco towards the Aleutian Trench. The much better news: it won’t happen for 20 million years. We hear a lot of doom and gloom about possible temblor scenarios. As
natural disasters go, our desert has a pretty fair shake, so to speak. The Midwest deals with twisters, and the Gulf Coast has its hurricanes. The main difference is that those occurrences are considerably more predictable. However, they also come around with much more frequency, and their force can be devastating – as we’ve seen. To be prepared for a major earth-
quake in our area, it’s important to understand the geology involved. Eliminating the sensationalism and focusing on the reality are key to moving past the event and sustaining ourselves. The San Andreas Fault began to form about 30 million years ago, however the main southern section has only existed for about 5 million years.
The San Andreas is a right lateral strike-slip transform fault, which means its two plates, the Pacific Plate and the North American plate, move horizontal to each other. The fault line runs 800 miles from Hollister, in northern California, snaking its way on and off shore throughout the San Francisco and Santa Cruz regions. Amazingly, the central segment of Continues on page 6 >>

Rusty tells us about Government Pension Offset and maximizing benefits Social Security Matters by AMAC Certified Social Security Advisor Russell Gloor, Association of Mature American Citizens Dear Rusty: I recently retired from my job after 35 years at the U.S. Department of Defense. I know I’m not eligible for Social Security because I was part of the CSRS pension program and never had FICA taxes withheld from my paychecks. My husband, on the other hand, has worked his entire life in the construction business paying FICA taxes and has earned more than enough credits to collect Social Security when he reaches that age in a few years. He is 58 and I am 59 years of age. He doesn’t have a traditional pension plan through his employer, but does participate in an employer-sponsored 401(k). We are quite financially secure at this point, but as we look forward I’d like to make sure we can maximize any Social Security benefits available to us so we can continue to live comfortably as we age. So my question is, how can my husband maximize his Social Security benefit, and will I be able to collect any Social Security benefits as his spouse? Signed: Looking Ahead
May 18, 2017
Dear Looking: Oh how we wish more people would, like you, plan well in advance for their golden years! First let’s deal with your question of how your husband can maximize this Social Security benefit. The rules for this are pretty simple, but both physical and financial health need to always be a primary consideration. If your husband is both physically fit and financially able, waiting until well after he is first eligible to collect Social Security is the best strategy to increase his benefit amount. If he were to start collecting at age 62 he would only get about 71.67% of what he would get at his full retirement age (FRA) as defined by Social Security, which for him is 66 years and 8 months. After his FRA his benefit amount will increase by about 8% per year for each year he delays, up to age 70 when he will reach his maximum benefit amount. Delayed retirement credits are actually earned monthly, so it’s not necessary to wait a full year to get credit for delaying benefits. Now, as his spouse you would ordinarily be eligible for spousal benefits based upon your husband’s work record but, since you are receiving a CSRS pension from the Federal
Government, you are affected by a provision known as the Government Pension Offset, or GPO. In theory, the CSRS pension program was designed to be part pension and part replacement of Social Security, which is why you did not pay Social Security payroll taxes over your career. The GPO rules state that Spousal Benefits must be reduced by a factor equal to 2/3rds of a person’s government pension. Just by way of example, that means that if you are receiving a CSRS pension of $1,000 per month, any Social Security spousal benefit you might be entitled to would be reduced by $667. So, if your spousal benefits (normally 50% of your husband’s Social Security benefit at FRA) would be $667 or less, you wouldn’t receive any spousal benefit. If it were more, you would receive only the excess over $667. So you may want to go to ssa.gov and get an estimate of your husband’s benefit at his FRA, and then see if 50% of that amount is more than 2/3rds of your CSRS pension amount. If it is you will be entitled to spousal benefits; if it is not, you won’t be entitled to spousal benefits from Social Security. You might not be surprised to find that GPO often completely offsets Social Security
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
spousal benefits for many Government CSRS retirees. Note too that GPO will also affect your widow’s benefit should you be the surviving spouse, because it will be subject to same calculation as your spousal benefit. However, if your husband is the surviving spouse, and he receives a survivor’s annuity from your pension, his Social Security benefit will not be affected.

ello there, my name is Juno and I’m about a year and a half. I’m here at the Pet Rescue Center with my best friend Pippa and we’d really like to stay together. You see, Pippa and I have been together through some rough times and I don’t know what I’d do without her. I’m so glad we were taken off the streets because I was real frightened, but Pippa said to never give up hope. I am so happy we’re still together in this wonderful place–we play together and hang out together. Everyone here has been so kind to me and Pippa and we show our appreciation and affection willingly and lovingly! Not only are we cuddle bunnies, but we also like to run and play with each other. So, if you are looking for a really nice pair of doggies, please visit us

The Big One: Prepare now for an earthquake by appreciating the science behind it << Continues from page 1 the fault exhibits “aseismic creep”, where it slips continuously without causing earthquakes. The southern or Mojave segment stretches from Bombay Beach, California, near the Salton Sea, up to Parkfield in Monterey County. The fault then runs along the southern base of the San Bernardino Mountains and continues along the northern base of the San Gabriel Mountains. The upturned rocks and ridges in Box Canyon are a direct result of the Fault’s activity. At its closest, this Fault passes about 35 miles to the northeast of Los Angeles and, as we know, right smack through the Coachella Valley. Scientists believe that this southern segment of the fault is capable of an 8.1 magnitude earthquake (but that’s about as big as it would ever hit). Why do the plates slip? The effect of a fault is to relieve strain, which can be caused by compression, extension, or lateral stress in the rock layers at the surface or deep in the Earth’s subsur-
6
face. Slippage does not increase the distance between the ridges it separates; the ridges in the center spread to meet each other. The rate of slippage averages about 1.3 to 1.5 inches a year across California. The San Andreas fault was first identified in by UC Berkeley geology professor Andrew Lawson in 1895. Due to the frequency of predictable activity in the area, Parkfield has become important for large earthquake research and the potential to actually predict earthquakes in the future at the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD). The U.S. Geological Survey continues to work on trying to forecast earthquakes, an elusive task. A report issued by the agency estimated a 7% probability that an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 or greater will occur in the next 28 years somewhere along the San Andreas Fault. For the “Big One”, experts at the Southern California Earthquake Center assure us that the damage will look nothing like the way it’s depicted in the movies, much of which is physi-
cally impossible. The realities are that the I-10 freeway would likely buckle at several points, making emergency transportation a challenge. Older buildings that are not retrofitted would sustain the most damage, leveling older buildings, disrupting roads and severing electric, telephone and water lines, taking a period of time to get them up and running. And, one of the greatest threats would be the ignition of lots of small fires, which would possibly lead to larger fires. Fear brings paralysis, but knowledge brings empowerment. There are several imperative ways we can all prepare for an earthquake TODAY to ensure survival and functionality tomorrow in our homes, schools, offices and public places: 1. Assemble an “earthquake kit” containing: drinkable water supply, fire extinguisher (yes, in your home), flashlight and extra batteries, battery operated radio, first aid kit with manual, emergency food and drinking water for humans, several day’s supply of dry pet food and a large water contain-
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
er, non-electric can opener, cash and sturdy shoes. (Plan to not use toilets, tap water or land-line telephones). 2. Store poisons such as pesticides and herbicides, as well as flammable liquids, on bottom shelves of latched cabinets. 3. Identify safe places to hide indoors (under furniture) and outside (away from buildings and electrical lines). 4. Know how to turn off gas, electricity and water. 5. Develop an emergency communications plan in case family members are separated. We can’t control nature, but we can take proactive steps now to make sure we are ready to continue our symbiotic relationship with the sometimes unpredictable and always fascinating planet earth.

Home remedies for stomach aches & cramps Stomach aches, also broadly called “abdominal pain,” are tricky things to find remedies for unless you know the cause. Ranging from indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome to gastritis and GERD, an aching tummy can stem from many things. Assuming you are dealing with an uncomplicated stomach ache, these remedies can help bring relief from the pain and discomfort that’s making you miserable. • Chamomile can help ease the pain of a stomach ache by working as an anti-inflammatory (for example the lining of the stomach can become inflamed as a result common gastritis, caused by bacteria) and by relaxing the smooth muscle of the upper digestive track. When it relaxes that mus-
cle, the contractions that are pushing food through your system ease up a bit and lessen the pain of cramping and spasms. • Rice water is exactly what it sounds like-the water left-over after you cook rice. It acts a demulcent, meaning a substance that relieves inflammation by forming a sort of soothing barrier over a membrane, in this case, the lining of your stomach. • Fresh peppermint tea (or just peppermint tea in general) can help relax stomach muscles. It also helps improve the flow of bile, which helps you digest properly. This is especially useful if suffering from indigestion or gas/ bloating.

1911: J. Smeaton Chase publishes first book
J
oseph Smeaton Chase was born in London. When he was 25, he immigrated to California. On arrival he deposited
his inheritance from his father’s estate in a California Bank, which failed in the Panic of 1890. Now broke, he went to San Diego for a few years, then moved to Los Angeles where he became a social welfare worker. Chase published his first book, “Yosemite Trails,” and moved to Palm Springs in 1915, attracted by the healing powers of the hot springs. His most famous books about Palm Springs, “Our Araby,” and “Palm Springs and The Garden of the Sun” are still being sold at bookstores and gift shops. He married the younger of the White sisters, Isabel, in 1917. Chase wrote several other books on California based on the travels with his horse, Kaweah.
