Why save the Salton Sea? Your health and our ecosystem may depend on it
By Alison Elsner For DMHN
M
ost of us don’t make it a habit of visiting there. Some of us don’t even know what it really looks like up close. But somehow the Salton Sea is on our mind frequently, either because we hear about it in the media or our noses alert us to its presence with the strong, sulfer-heavy aroma that blows westward, a result of the dead, rotting fish that simply can’t survive in such high salinity levels. The manmade “Sea”, which is actually the largest lake in California, occupies the Salton Basin, a remnant of prehistoric Lake Cahuilla. It was
formed between 1905 and 1907 when the Colorado River burst through poorly built irrigation controls south of Yuma, Arizona, before the overflow was controlled after more than a year. It lies 235 feet below sea level, measures approximately 35 miles long by 15 feet wide and has a depth of around 30 – 50 feet. The sea is fed by the New, Whitewater and Alamo Rivers, as well as agricultural runoff and drainage systems. What was originally known as the Salton Sink is now referred to in jest as the “Salton Stink,” which is especially sad considering that the area was a thriving resort destination in the 1950’s and 60’s. Guests swam, waterskied and golfed during the day, then
headed to the yacht club to socialize at night. By the late 1970s, the ecosystem was deteriorating. With no drainage, little rainfall and farm runoff, the sea became polluted with pesticides and salt compounds. Depleted oxygen in the sea killed fish and left the decomposition on the shore. So what’s the big deal? Why save the Salton Sea? There are two compelling reasons: 1. As the sea loses surface area, the dry lakebed becomes more and more exposed. This effect will ramp up big time starting in January, 2018 thanks to an agreement penned in 2003 that will redirect Colorado River water to
San Diego County. By 2038, the Sea will have lost approximately 35 percent of its surface area and 60 percent of its volume. Pollutants lie at the bottom of the sea, creating sediment from Imperial irrigation runoff and Mexicali’s degraded New River. Without the water keeping this sediment down, it threatens to blow up into storms of toxic dust, presenting a danger to the health of people in surrounding regions by triggering severe asthma and respiratory diseases. Some officials have warned that with the increased shrinkage, dust storms would increase and a rotten-egg smell could reach to the coastal cities. Continues on page 6 >>

Social Security Matters: “Ask Rusty” - Will my benefit amount ever increase? Social Security Matters by AMAC Certified Social Security Advisor Russell Gloor, Association of Mature American Citizens Dear Rusty: I’m still working right now, but everyone I talk to about Social Security seems to say that I should wait to take my benefits because once I start the amount will never go up. Problem is I really need the money now. Is it really true that once I claim the amount of my Social Security will never go up? Signed: Curious Dear Curious: Well, there is a lot to be said for waiting as long as you can to take your benefits, not the least of which is that the longer you wait the larger your benefit amount will be. If you apply when you turn 62, you’ll only be getting about 74% of what you would get if you waited until your full retirement age (which for most people applying today is between 66 and 67). And for the most part, that is the benefit you will receive for the rest of your life, except in the following circumstances: • Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) are calculated annually by Social
July 6, 2017
Security according to a formula using the Consumer Price Index to determine the rate of inflation. If the result of that calculation calls for it, your benefit amount will increase by a small percentage to keep pace with the cost of living. While the COLA increases your benefit in most years, no cost of living adjustment occurred in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the 2016 increase was a mere 0.3%. So your benefit amount will usually, but not always, increase as necessary for inflation. • If you work while you’re collecting Social Security and you earn a significant salary, there is a chance your benefit amount could increase. That’s because of the way that Social Security determines your benefit amount in the first place, which is by taking your 35 highest-earning years to arrive at your Average Indexed Monthly Earnings, from which your benefit amount is calculated. If you have, within that 35 year window, years in which you had zero earnings, or very low earnings, your current earnings could replace one or more of those years causing your benefit to increase slightly.
• If you collect benefits and work before reaching your full retirement age and you exceed Social Security’s annual earnings limit, they will withhold some of your future benefits. But that doesn’t mean that you’ll lose those withheld benefits forever because, when you reach your full retirement age, they’ll recalculate your benefit amount to give you time credit for any months they withheld benefits because you earned more than the annual limit. That means that your benefit amount will go up a little when they do that recalculation. • If you are collecting benefits on your own work record, and you have a spouse who is not yet collecting Social Security, it’s possible you may get a “spousal boost” when your spouse finally files for benefits. This would occur if the benefit you are entitled to as a spouse is higher than your benefit on your own record, which might be the case if your spouse is the higher-earning partner. The easy way to look at this is: if onehalf of your spouse’s benefit at full retirement age is more than your current benefit from your own work record, you should contact your
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
local Social Security office to ensure you get the maximum benefit you’re entitled to. So, as you can see, the benefit amount you first get when you apply for Social Security isn’t fixed because you will usually get an annual COLA adjustment for inflation, and it may also increase if any of the fairly common circumstances described above apply to you. There are a couple of other less common circumstances which could apply for those grandfathered from changes made by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, but those are outside the scope of this article. But, with the possible exception of a spousal boost, don’t expect any increase you might get to be very large.

The right of passage A passport is a must for international travel and they’re pretty easy to acquire if you have the proper credentials. But, the Association of Mature American Citizens says only three passports are issued at any given time by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, making it the rarest document of its kind in the world.

They can only be issued to the grand master, deputy grand master, and chancellor of the Order The Order of Malta was founded in 1048 to aid visitors to the Holy Land and its sovereignty is recognized by more than 100 nations around the world.

King Charles III? It has been reported that the heir to the throne of England, Prince Charles, might take another name when and if he succeeds his Mom, Queen Elizabeth II, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. It seems that Kings Charles the first and second have pretty sketchy reputations. The first Charles was executed
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
for treason in 1649 and his son had a reputation as a womanizer. But, Prince Charles may have a long wait before he has to make a decision. His grandmother was 101 years old when she passed away. Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth, is just 91 years of age and is said to be in fine health. Charles is 68.

2. Loss of water in the Sea will greatly impact the migratory pattern of birds, which will in turn have consequences upon our ecosystem. This is a serious issue, especially because the Salton Sea has been termed a “crown jewel of avian biodiversity” by Dr. Milt Friend of the Salton Sea Science Office. Over 400 species have been documented there, with some of the most diverse and significant populations of bird life in the continental U.S. It supports 30% of the remaining population of
6
the American white pelican, and the Salton Sea is also a crucial resting stop on the Pacific Flyway, a path taken by migrating birds from the Pacific Northwest to South America. Almost all of the wetlands in California have been destroyed, so for some species, the sea is the only stop left between San Francisco and the Colorado Delta. If it dries up, millions of birds will be unable to make the migrations central to their lifecycles. Some of these birds are on the federal endangered species
list, making it California’s (and humanity’s) duty to preserve their habitats. Fortunately, state officials have slowly come to realize that it’s time for real action, since the alternative has the potential to stunt tourism and wildlife throughout the Coachella Valley and beyond. Progress has been made, albeit somewhat piecemeal with less than adequate funding. California’s Natural Resources Agency has released a $383 million plan to
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
start building thousands of acres of ponds and wetlands that will cover up stretches of dusty lakebed and create habitat for birds as the lake recedes. Ponds will be constructed with funding requirements in the amount of $20 million to $40 million over the course of the next 10 years. Construction projects will lag behind the pace of the sea’s decline, covering up only portions of the exposed lakebeds – but it’s a solid start, and there is some research being done to explore future funding through the geothermal industry. In other words, there is hope. Most people agree that the plan is moving in the right direction, even though lots of work and revenue sourcing remain. The immediate goals of preserving a vital oasis for migratory birds and combating toxic, windblown dust now appear to be more of a reality than in the recent past, and that’s something we can encourage and rally around.

Pet of the Week “Pet Rescue”
Ebony: Poodle, Young, Female Hi. I’m Ebony and I’m a female Poodle mix who’s about 2 years old. I weigh about 10 pounds and I’m a very sweet lady. I came to Pet Rescue because my former owner couldn’t take care of me. It’s not that I did anything bad or wrong–sometimes things happen and it was just “life” getting in the way of me staying where I was. I know I’ll find my “forever” home where I’ll stay for a very long time because I have so many good things
July 6, 2017
going for me. First of all, I’m adorable with my black and white coloring. Don’t you think so? And how do you like my white booties? I think I look very fashionable and interesting. And did I say before that I was very sweet? Well, I am and I’m a good girl who’s good with children and other dogs. Plus, I don’t weigh very much so I can be taken from place to place and we can have lots of fun. I am also all ready to be taken home. I’m spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date with my vaccinations. What more can you ask for in a dog? Please come and visit me because I don’t think I will be staying at Pet Rescue very long. I’d love to meet you and have you take me home. -Xoxo Your Engaging Ebony

Stars and Streets of the Desert President Gerald Ford & Betty Ford President Ford: 1913-2006 Betty: 1918-2011 Street: Gerald Ford Drive
Maze Answer
WordSearch Answer
Gerald and Betty Ford were active and visible residents of the community, always willing to lend their time and resources to raise funds for charity, social or golf events. Their names are seen all across the valley, from the Gerald Ford Boys & Girls Club, to the Gerald Ford Elementary School, to a valley-wide street and, most notably, the Betty Ford Center. They were generous supporters of all things related to Eisenhower Medical Center, co-chairing events and dedicating new facilities. The Fords married in their hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich., 63 years ago when she was a fashion consultant and he, a former college football star and lawyer, had returned from a stint in the Naval Reserve as a Lieutenant Commander. Ford became interested in local politics, won a Congressional seat in the House and was re-elected 12 times. In 1964, he was voted Minority Leader and a Capitol office building, The Ford House Office Building, was renamed for him. When a tax scandal forced Vice-President Spiro Agnew to resign, President Nixon named Ford
to replace him, but eight months later, Nixon resigned amid Watergate shame. In 1974, Ford became our 38th President and three years later, after Nixon’s pardon and two assassination attempts, he lost his re-election bid to Jimmy Carter. While First Lady, Betty Ford was an outspoken advocate for women’s rights. Speaking openly about her breast cancer surgery, she increased awareness about the disease. She supported the Equal Rights Amendment, pro choice and gay rights, and was praised for her candor in publicly confronting her battle with alcoholism and prescription drugs. Following a family intervention, Ford entered a naval hospital for treatment, which became her inspiration to establish the Betty Ford Center, one of the top treatment facilities worldwide. She was its first Chairwoman and for years worked tirelessly on research and fundraising. The President’s loss to Jimmy Carter was our gain. He and Betty moved to the Thunderbird Heights section of Rancho Mirage, where they built a new home and enjoyed desert life with their four children for over 30 years. They are buried alongside one another at the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids. Gerald Ford Drive runs from Date Palm Drive in Cathedral City, across Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage, extending to Frank Sinatra Drive in Palm Desert.
Don’t pay extra for tap water Next time you get a utility bill, check it carefully. Kieran Healyof Hillsborough, NC recently opened his water bill and after checking to see that the amount due was appropriate, he got a shock when he saw the extra service charge-nearly $100 million, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens. The water company acknowledged the mistake but the extraordinary charge made Healy wonder - just for a brief moment - whether he would need to make installment payments.
