History and trivia about Labor Day More than hot dogs and parades
By Alison Elsner For DMHN Labor Day is upon us. Always held on the first Monday in September, the federal holiday means a day off of work or school, maybe a final summer vacation, the launch of fall sports, closure of post offices and picnics, parades and backyard barbecues. Oh, and lots of great sales. The true meaning of this special day has evolved over the past 125 years since
it established, but its unifying theme remains recognition of American workers, with dignity and respect. The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, brought about by the Central Labor Union. The second Labor Day holiday was held just a year later, on September 5, 1883. In 1884, the first Monday in September was permanently selected as the holiday, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations
in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a “workingmen’s holiday” on that date. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, 30 U.S. states officially recognized Labor Day. Like many cultural or societal observances, initial strife and conflict served as catalysts to bringing Labor Day to prominence. Following
the deaths of workers at the hands of United States Army and United States Marshals’ Service during the Pullman Strike of 1894 in Chicago, the United States Congress unanimously voted to approve legislation to make Labor Day a national holiday. President Grover Cleveland signed it into law six days after the end of the strike. President Cleveland supported the creation of the holiday to shore up support among trade unions following the Pullman Strike. Continues on page 6 >>

It’s never too late for California seniors to begin their health journeys Vivian Stancil, a 70-year-old force of nature, was told by her doctor that she wouldn’t live to see her 60th birthday. In her 50s, she was 320 pounds, experiencing a heart murmur and, as she said, “I was going to die.” On top of these challenges (and Vivian would call them opportunities), Stancil is legally blind. So, at the midpoint of life, Stancil was faced with a bad report from her doctor and a pivotal moment that has shaped her life. “As a physician, I’ve been a part of those crucial conversations with patients, like the one Stancil had with her physician. These are literally ‘do or die,’ moments where the patient ultimately decides the path forward,” said Dr. Jeffery McManus, California Medical Director for Humana. “Despite my strong will and commitment to make health a priority for patients, in the end, it’s their decision to start living a healthier life.” In Stancil’s case, she mastered this
moment and began swimming to lose weight, overcoming 40 years of little to no exercise and a fear of water. To date, she has lost more than 100 pounds. Stancil honed her swimming skills using memorization of strokes and her hearing to navigate an Olympic-sized pool. Stancil now competes in swimming at the state and national level through the National Senior Games presented by Humana. She earned the honor of a Humana Game Changer award because she exemplifies healthy aging and provides encouragement, motivation and inspiration for all seniors to start with healthy. Stancil’s story has inspired thousands of our nation’s seniors. She is living proof that California’s 5.1 million individuals 65 and up, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, can turn their health status around at any age. This is extremely important as a fourth of
the state’s seniors have diabetes, 28 percent live with arthritis and nearly half have hypertension, according to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data. As an aging adult, how can you achieve your best health? Start with a visit to your doctor. Prepare a list of questions before you go. During this visit, have an authentic conversation about your current health, medications and treatments. Set goals together for your weight, sugar and sodium intake, quitting risky habits like smoking or anything your doctor feels will improve your health. Talk about the kinds of exercises that are most appropriate for you. You don’t have to swim like Stancil. Start with a walk to your mailbox and then, when you’re ready, take a stroll around the block. Regular physical activity helps prevent risk factors for disease (such as high blood pressure and weight gain) and protects against
multiple chronic diseases (such as heart disease, stroke, some cancers, type 2 diabetes and depression). Start with your doctor, then get moving. “Through Vivian’s example, I challenge you to seize this moment in time. Take time to become more engaged in your health. Build a stronger relationship with your physician and, like Stancil, make health a priority in your life,” said Dr. McManus. “Maybe you will be one of the more than 500 California athletes competing in the next National Senior Games! You can be the inspiration for yourself, family and friends.” Editor’s Note: This submitted by Humana.

Social Security Matters: “Ask Rusty” - Disability after starting SS benefits Dear Rusty: I am now 64 years old and started taking my Social Security at 62. I continued to work part time since I applied, until December of last year when I was disabled from a bad car accident. I haven’t been able to work since the accident, and I’m wondering if I can switch from my regular benefit to disability benefits, because I think that will be higher. Can you tell me - is it possible for me to switch to disability benefits and get a higher payment than I’m now getting because I took Social Security at 62? Signed: Worker now Disabled Dear Worker: Social Security disability insurance, or SSDI, is intended to sustain you financially if you become disabled while still working. Included in the FICA tax you contributed each payday was your insurance premium for disability coverage. If you were still working, became totally disabled and unable to continue working, and the total disability is expected to last a year or more, you can apply for disability benefits even though you are already collecting Social Security
August 31, 2017
early retirement benefits. There are, however, some things you should be aware of. If you qualify, your SSDI benefit would be higher than your reduced early retirement benefit, as you believe. You would still need to meet the fairly stringent requirements to qualify for SSDI benefits (which you can find at www.ssa.gov/disability) and among those requirements is that you must have worked and paid FICA taxes for at least 5 of the last 10 years. You can apply online at the website referenced above, by telephone at 1-800-7721213, or by visiting your local Social Security office which you can find at www.ssa.gov/locator. Be aware that it could take 3 to 6 months for a decision on your case but, if approved, benefits will be paid retroactively. If your case is not approved, you have the right to appeal, but the appeal process is significantly backlogged and could take a year or more to adjudicate. Statistically, only about 1/3rd of applications are initially approved but the success rate for appeals is considerably better. Disability benefits are based upon
the benefit you’re entitled to at your full retirement age. If you are approved for and start collecting SSDI disability benefits, the amount of that benefit will be reduced corresponding to the number of months you received retirement benefits prior to being awarded SSDI. From what you’ve told me, that reduction will be about 13.3% because you’ve collected retirement benefits for about 2 years. When you reach your full retirement age of 66, your SSDI benefit will automatically convert to retirement benefits, but the benefit amount will stay the same as your reduced SSDI amount. That will, however, be more than your current early retirement benefit which was reduced by about 25% because you applied at age 62. The switch is mostly an accounting transaction because retirement benefits are paid from a different Social Security trust fund than disability benefits. Finally, you may want to consult with a law firm that specializes in SSDI disability claims. An SSDI attorney should not charge a retainer or upfront fees, and Federal law limits the amount they can charge
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
in contingency fees to 25% of any past due benefits they get for you to a maximum of $6,000. You should not have to pay anything unless you win, though some attorneys will charge a small fee for out-of-pocket expenses.

History and trivia about Labor Day More than hot dogs and parades
<< Continues from page 1 Observance took the form of a street parade to exhibit the strength and of the trade and labor organizations of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of workers and their families. The parade became tradition in subsequent years. Here’s a mini-quiz to test your knowledge of the historic Labor Day movement and holiday in the United States. Answers are at the end, so don’t peek! 1. Which country inspired the Labor Movement in the United States? a. France b. Bolivia c. Canada d. Australia 2. It used to be standard for people to work much longer hours. How many hours were common? a. 14 hours per day every day b. 12 hours per day every day c. 13 hours per day every day d. 15 hours per day with Sundays off

3. Labor Day and International Worker’s Day have been combined into the same holiday. a. True b. False 4. What percentage of the population works at a second job? a. 5% b. 7% c. 10% d. 12%
young as 5 or 6 years old also worked in factories and mills throughout the nation. People of all ages, particularly the very poor and recent immigrants, often faced extremely unsafe working conditions, with insufficient access to fresh air, sanitary facilities and breaks. Thanks to the Adamson Act, the eight hour work day went into effect on September 3, 1916. This Act was the first federal law regulating hours of workers in private companies.
Answers: 1.C. Canada gets credit for inspiring the idea as a result of their own labor movement. They had a “Nine-Hour Movement” to support striking workers in 1872. 2.B. Americans used to work 12 hours per day, seven days a week in the 19th century. These excruciating work conditions were in large part why the labor movement started. Children as
3.B. International Worker’s Day, or May Day, is a separate day of observance to honor laborers around the world, held on May 1. This holiday was instituted by countries worldwide in response to the Haymarket Riot of 1886, a peaceful protest gone awry with another violent altercation against the Chicago workforce by the police. Although the trigger events took place in America, the United States did not adopt it as a le-

gal holiday. May Day was particularly embraced in the Soviet Union, the Eastern-bloc and communist countries, but with the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, the holiday has grown more and more removed from its violent origins. 4.A. 7.3 million workers hold down more than one job. “Moonlighters” comprise 5 percent of the working population. Of these, 3.8 million work full time at their primary job and part time at their other job, and about 293,000 work full time at both jobs. As we scarf down burgers and relax at the pool or the park on this Labor Day, we can also pay tribute to the many professionals like law enforcement, restaurant staff, and health care and emergency workers who clock in on the holiday to make it even more special for the rest of us.

Did you know? • Human adults have 32 teeth, but very few individuals will develop functional wisdom teeth (the four last molars, which usually require removal). • Children have 20 primary (baby) teeth: 8 incisors, 4 canines and 8 molars. This first set of pearly whites usually starts to erupt around 6 months of age, and gradually falls out between the ages of 6 and 12. • Every day, the average mouth produces approximately 1.5 litres of saliva. • Just like fingerprints, no two sets of teeth are alike. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the unique layout of your pearly whites, which are constantly shifting according to what goes on inside your mouth (e.g. thumb sucking, bruxism). • According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 100% of the world’s adults have cavities. • The bacteria in dental plaque transform the sugars found in food into acid, which attacks the enamel and eventually forms a hole in the tooth. The result is what we call a cavity.

Just in time for all those Labor Day barbecues The Swiss boast that they invented the cuckoo clock. Perhaps soon they will take credit for inventing the Insect Burger, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. In fact, a Swiss supermarket chain recently started selling burger patties made from the larvae of the mealworm beetle.
“They have a high culinary potential, their production saves resources and their nutritional profile is high-quality. Thus, insects are the perfect complement to a modern diet,” says Christian Bartsch, cofounder of Essento, the company that invented the bug burger. Source: Filler Files
A real diamond jubilee Margaret Mussel of New Jersey lost her diamond engagement ring while on a trip to Italy nine years ago. Mary Grams lost hers 13 years ago on a farm near Edmonton, Canada. All’s well that ends well, says the Association of Mature American Citizen. AMAC reports that both of them coincidentally got their rings back
earlier this month. Mrs. Mussel’s husband spotted his wife’s ring sparkling in the Italian sunshine, embedded in a local sidewalk, while on a return trip to Italy. Mrs. Grams’ daughter-in-law found hers gracing a carrot growing on the family farm. Source: Filler Files

Does “Best Before” mean “Toss After” for expire dates?
Are you among those who systematically throw away all expired food, even a mere day after the best before date indicated on the package? It may be time to break that habit — after all, foods don’t suddenly turn into health hazards overnight. The “best before” label simply informs consumers that after a certain date, the food in question might not retain its original freshness, flavour,
August 31, 2017
texture or nutritional value for much longer. Of course, this only applies if the food is kept under the right conditions; it goes without saying that a steak left out on the counter for several hours should be thrown in the trash without a second thought. Consequently, those recently “expired” cookies may not be as crispy as they once were, but that doesn’t make them dangerous for your health. Kept in their original sealed packaging, vinegar, mayonnaise and cereal, among many others, can be consumed well past their best before date. However, expiry dates lose most of their significance once a package has been opened. All that being said, when it comes to things like fresh meat and dairy, it’s best not to stray too far from the suggested expiry date. Trust your instincts, but keep in mind that a seemingly normal smell, look and even taste can sometimes be misleading. Foods kept past their best before date may not taste as fresh, but they usually aren’t hazardous to your health.

WordSearch Answer Golf, music and the desert lifestyle went hand in hand for bandleader Fred Waring. An enthusiastic golfer, his favorite playing partner was Bob Hope and, in the early years, The Pennsylvanians, Waring’s band, performed at the Bob Hope Classic. Waring studied at Penn State University, where he started a band, playing fraternity parties and dances. The band went on the road and on the radio, becoming one of the most popular musical acts in the country. Hollywood’s first talking musical picture, “Syncopation,” featured Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians and, during WWII, Waring’s band entertained the troops at U.S. training camps. Waring was the first bandleader to have his own television variety program, “The Fred Waring Show.” A genuine patriot, he regularly

included patriotic and inspirational songs in his shows, with recordings like “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and his own composition, “My America.” He was often described as “the man who taught America to sing,” and frequently conducted concerts at the Fred Waring Youth Choral workshop at Penn State. In addition to musical talent, Waring had engineering ability and developed, financed and marketed the Waring Blendor. Waring’s wife, concert pianist Virginia Waring, is President Emerita of the Virginia Waring International Piano Competition. A major desert artery, Fred Waring Drive, stretches from Highway 111 in Palm Desert to Monroe Street in Indio.
