The castle was used in other movies, including 1972’s “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” “Lost Horizon” in 1973, and as a Scottish ancestral home in the TV series “McMillan & Wife.” It was torn down in the 1980s to make room for an office building.

Knights (from page one) father was King Uther Pendragon and his mother, Lady Igraine, Duchess of Cornwall, who died in childbirth. Shortly after the death of his father, Arthur was sent to live with a knight named Ector.

THE ROUND TABLE

• Why a round table? King Arthur maintained that no one, not even the King himself, could sit at the head of a round table since all the seats in a circle are equal. This solidified the concept of equality among the Knights. Arthur ordered the table constructed in response to a disagreement among the Knights as to who was greater. Thus, his round table solution deemed all equal.

• Those who aspired to be one of Arthur’s Knights followed a strict code of chivalry, the bases of which were honor, honesty, valor, and loyalty. The rules to be followed included defending the weak with all one’s might, never to attack another Knight, to be willing to lay down one’s life for the safety of one’s country, and to practice religion diligently. In addition, Knights were never to commit treason against the country or King, and to always give mercy to the one who asks for mercy.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

By Lucie Winborne

* During the Great Fire of New Orleans in 1788, priests refused to allow church bells to be rung as fire alarms because it was Good Friday. As a result, hundreds more buildings burned during the conflagration. * Ancient Egyptians believed that men menstruated too and that blood in men’s urine and stool was a positive sign of fertility. Little did they know that parasitic worms were the likely cause. * It would take almost six months to get to the moon by car at 60 mph. * It’s not every day that a man in love demonstrates his affection by holding a funeral, but future president Ulysses S. Grant wasn’t every man.

When his future wife Julia’s pet canary died, he painstakingly fashioned a small coffin for it, which he painted yellow, then summoned eight of his fellow military officers to Julia’s house, where he conducted a service for the bird, complete with a military gun salute. * Babe Ruth once said he knew he didn’t swing hard enough if “a little poop didn’t come out.” * August Rodin’s work “The Age of Bronze” was so realistic that some people thought he’d actually sacrificed a real person inside the cast. * English poet Lord Byron was a student at Cambridge University when he took issue with the ban on keeping dogs as pets, so he came up with a unique way of getting back at the school: Since there was no prohibition in the fine print against bears on campus (probably because they’d never had a pupil quite like Byron before), he not only found a bear to keep as a pet, but also took it for walks around the grounds on a leash. *** Thought for the Day: “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the truly great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

-- Mark Twain

What is Tidbits investigating for International Bikini Day on July 5 – the swimsuit, or the coral island in the Pacific? Well, both! Follow along as we discover the connection between the two.

• Located in the Pacific Ocean’s Marshall Islands, halfway between Hawaii and Australia, the Bikini Atoll is a coral reef consisting of 23 islands surrounding a 229-square mile central lagoon. The land area is just 2.3 square miles.

Due to its remote location and small population, it was chosen as a site for the United States to test nuclear bombs beginning in 1946. The island residents were relocated to Rongerik Atoll, 120 miles east.

• The detonations took place in seven sites on the reef, inside the atoll, in the air, and underwater.

The most destructive nuclear explosion, named the “Castle Bravo,” took place in 1954 with a blast 1,000 times the magnitude of the Hiroshima bomb. It had a strength of 15 megatons and literally vaporized three of the islands, leaving a mile-wide crater at the site, visible today. Traces of radioactivity from the blast were found in Japan, Australia, India, Europe, and the U.S. • Just how much is a megaton? Consider that a one-megaton blast would wipe out most of New York City and urban New Jersey.

Some days it feels as if my 40 years of working with dogs have earned me professional competency in the field of couples counseling. This was especially true this week, when I took a call from a man whose first words to me were, “Ya gotta save my marriage!”

He and his wife, newlyweds, are just back from their honeymoon. As the next logical step in building a life together, he is in the process of moving into her home, soon to be their home. Along with his wardrobe, toiletries, favorite furnishings and beloved doodads, he will bring his dogs: two 5-year-old Pomeranian mixes who have been spoiled, indulged and appeased as a matter of dayto-day life.

The problem? She doesn’t like dogs.

While one might question the wisdom of the “marry first, get to know each other later” school of thought for those willing to agree to such daunting terms as “till death do us part,” my years of experience as a marriage and family counselor, ahem, dog trainer, suggested something else was going on.

In talking with the two of them together, a far less insidious truth was revealed. It isn’t that she doesn’t like dogs. Period. It’s that she doesn’t like the behavior of dogs, generally, and of these dogs, particularly. An entirely different beast...

In his bachelor days, this man enjoyed sleeping with his dogs at night, cuddling with them on the sofa, sitting with them on his lap, and romping and roughhousing with them in his home. Were he insistent on bringing these rituals untamed into his marriage, he’d find himself divorced and for reasons on par with those of Woody Allen, who once said, “Basically, my wife was immature. I’d be at home in the bath, and she’d come in and sink my boats.”

Marriage doesn’t have to mean the end of

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Quick and Dirty Answers Lead to Confusion

As regular readers of this column know, every once in a while, I try to squeeze as many questions and answers as I can into one column. And several weeks ago, I did just that. But I knew ahead of time it would cause problems. Why? Because there can be so many “ifs ands or buts” associated with Social Security’s rules. And when I try to keep my answers short and sweet ... well, they may be short, but they are not always so sweet. I simply cannot cover all the variables that may pop up, and I can’t explain all the nuances to any given Social Security situation.

So, even though I broke a record by answering 16 questions in one column, the 16 answers I gave probably led to 160 more questions from confused readers. And here are some of them.

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

But I was talking about something else.

There are more than a few seniors out there who continue working well beyond age 70. And depending on how much money they are making, those extra earnings added to their Social Security account could increase their monthly Social Security check. For example, I have a friend who is a doctor, and he is still practicing medicine even though he is 90 years old. And every year, he gets a little boost in his Social Security checks because of all the money he is still pumping into the system.

Q: A woman wrote to ask you if she

could take benefits on her husband’s record first and then later switch to her own. You said she could not do that. But I beg to differ.

Because I did just that when I signed up for Social Security several years ago.

A: I didn’t have the space in that prior col umn to explain there used to be a loophole in the law that allowed people to file for spousal benefits first and delay taking their own until a later date, usually at age 70, to get the delayed retirement credits referred to in the prior answer. That loophole closed on Jan. 2, 2020. You were lucky and turned 66 prior to that point so you jumped through the loophole.

But everyone turning 66 after Jan. 2, 2020, can’t do

Q: In a recent column, you said that people could continue to get increases in their Social Security checks after age 70. But I thought the delayed retirement bonus you get for working beyond your full retirement age ends when you turn 70. So, what gives?

A: You are right about this “bonus” stuff.

They are called delayed retirement credits, or DRCs. And you get a DRC equal to two-thirds of 1% for each month you delay filing for Social Security benefits after your full retirement age. That comes out to a 32% bonus if you wait until 70 to sign up for Social Security. And after 70, there are no more DRCs.

that. They must file for their own Social Security benefits first before they can consider filing for any extra benefits on a spouse’s record.

Q: In a recent column, you said the $255 Social Security death benefit is only paid to a sur viving spouse. But that is wrong.

When my mother died, she was already a widow, and I collected the $255 death benefit.

A: Your mom must have died a long time ago, because it was way back in the 1980s that they changed the law. Before then, the death benefit could be paid to any one of a whole list of approved family members or estate executors. But as a part of a package of cost-cutting Social Security reforms passed in 1983, they limited the payment of the measly little death benefit to a “spouse who was living with the deceased at the time of death.” It also could be paid to a minor child who is eligible for benefits on the deceased’s account.

Q: You recently said that someone who inherited a large amount of money would not lose their Supplemental Security Income. But I know that is wrong because my nephew, who has been disabled since birth and gets SSI, recently inherited $100,000 from his mother’s estate, and he lost his SSI check. Please retract your prior answer.

A: I don’t have to retract anything. But I do have to clarify that we are talking about two different programs. In that prior column, I told someone who was getting Social Security benefits that the inheritance he got would have no affect on his monthly Social Security checks. I went on to explain that Social Security is not welfare, so he could inherit a million dollars, and he’d still keep getting his benefits.

But your nephew is getting Supplemental Security Income. And unlike Social Security, SSI is a welfare program that pays a monthly stipend to poor people. But now that your nephew got that $100,000, he is no longer poor, so he no longer qualifies for any SSI (welfare) payments.

I’ve pointed out a thousand times in this column that many people confuse SSI with Social Security. They think they are the same thing. In fact, many people think SSI stands for “Social Security Income.” It does not. Supplemental Security Income and Social Security and two entirely separate programs with entirely different sets of rules and regulations.

Q: For a variety of reasons too complicated to explain here, I retired 10 years ago, when I was 52. I just turned 62 and filed for my Social Security. I have fibromyalgia and wanted to apply for disability, too, but I was told I couldn’t. Yet in a recent column, you told a guy with heart problems who was about to turn 62 that he should file for both Social Security retirement and disability at the same time. So, did my Social Security office cheat me?

A: No, they didn’t cheat you. To get disability benefits, the law says you must have worked and paid Social Security taxes in five out of the last 10 years. It sounds like you haven’t worked and paid taxes in any of the last 10 years. So, you simply are not eligible for Social Security disability benefits.

But you still can get your retirement checks because that program doesn’t have the “five out of the last 10” rule.

Raw or Roasted, Go Nuts for Nuts

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have seen numerous articles extolling the advantages of eating nuts because they are a good fat. I often have wondered if it matters whether the nuts are raw or roasted. Would you please explain the difference and the impact on one’s health? -- D.O.

more nuts and seeds (but also more fruits and vegetables, more healthy oils, like olive oil, and less meat), they had less heart attacks than the group that did not change their diet. This evidence is strong, but it’s not clear whether it’s one change in the diet (just nuts) or all the changes in the diet that are responsible for the observed benefit.

In none of these kinds of studies were raw nuts compared against roasted. However, the composition of the fats does not change in nuts and seeds when roasted, and most experts believe it does not make a difference. So, I recommend partaking in nuts however you like them best.

Just one serving a day (30 grams or an ounce) makes a difference. They are quite high in calories, so it’s wise not to overdo it. If you don’t like nuts (and obviously for those allergic), not eating them is not a major risk for developing heart disease. ***

DEAR DR. ROACH: You have mentioned diseases of the blood marrow before, but what does the bone marrow actually do?

-- T.S.B.

ANSWER: Scientists believe that nuts are healthy for us based on three different types of evidence. One is called “epidemiological”: People who eat nuts live longer and have less heart disease than people who don’t eat nuts.

What’s in a Name?

My birth certificate says I was born at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. In recent years that name was changed to Joint Base something-Bolling due to the base realignment. Now, given the current climate, I have to wonder: Will they change the name of the base to something else altogether?

I looked up the man for whom the original base was named, wondering if he was objectionable in any way that would make certain groups of people unhappy enough that they’d demand a name change. History shows that Raynal Cawthorne Bolling was a World War I hero, killed in combat. Wikipedia helpfully provides a bio as well as a photo.

Bolling was an attorney by trade, but when a cadre of wealthy men became part of the Preparedness Movement, aiming for a strong military, he joined them, rented airplanes and learned to fly.

He was ready when the government called him to active duty in 1917. He organized the first reserve air unit, which became the 26th Aero Squadron, and was slated to be the chief of air service for the U.S. II Corps.

Col. Bolling was killed in 1918 as he drove toward the German line on pre-battle reconnaissance. He went down firing his weapon, killing Germans as he died, saving the life of the wounded private with him.

If you were born on a military base, or have children who were, it’s time to learn the history of the name of the base that’s on the birth certificate, before it’s gone forever. Born at Fort Bragg? Fort Hood? Fort Benning? Don’t delay in your research.

Even if you think your base was named after someone not likely to cause offense, don’t wait. How about Fort Sam? Fort Belvoir?

I’ve hunted and I can’t find anything objectionable about Col. Bolling nor his background.

When patriotism called, he answered. Still, you never know. * * *

Can I Stop Social Security if I Go Back to Work?

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: I lost my job last month because of the coronavirus crisis. Unfortunately, my savings are minimal and I’ve been thinking about starting my Social Security benefits early to help me get by.

Ad Proof:

Withdraw your benefits:

One way to pause your Social Security benefits is to simply withdraw your Social Security application. But this must be done within 12 months of starting your benefits, and you’ll also have to repay what you’ve received so far. If you choose this option, Social Security will treat your application for early benefits as if it never happened.

Social Security has a “retirement earnings test” that says if you’re under your full retirement age and you earn more than $18,240 in 2020, Social Security will deduct $1 from your benefits for every $2 you earn over that amount. Those who reach full retirement age in 2020 a less stringent rule applies. In this case, $1 gets taken out for every $3 you make above $48,600 until you reach the month of your birthday.

To withdraw your benefits, you’ll need to complete Form SSA-521 (SSA.gov/ forms/ssa-521.pdf) and send it to your local Social Security office. Also be aware that you can only withdraw benefits once in a lifetime.

It’s also important to know that if you were to lose some or all of your Social Security benefits because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be recalculated to a higher amount to make up for what was withheld.

Suspend your benefits:

If you aren’t eligible for withdrawal, but you’ve reached your full retirement age and have not yet reached age 70, John Cuddihy Flags “A” Flying another option is to voluntarily suspend your

Also, if you do decide to work and collect Social Security benefits at the same time, you need to factor in Uncle Sam too.

Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security benefits taxable.

Here’s how this works. If your combined income is between $25,000 and $34,000 as an individual or between $32,000 and $44,000 as joint filers, you will pay tax on up to 50 percent of your Social Security benefits. If you earn above the upper limit of these ranges, you will pay tax on up to 85 percent of your benefits. To help you calculate this see the IRS publication 915 at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf.

• Other notable knights include Sir Dagonet, King Arthur’s jester; Sir Tegyr, who acted as the King’s cup-bearer; and Arthur’s foster brother, Sir Kay. • Guinevere’s tragic alliance with Lancelot led to a battle between those who followed the King and Lancelot’s allies, which eventually brought an end to Arthur’s kingdom. Arthur’s son Mordred seized the kingdom, killing seven of Arthur’s most loyal Knights. In the final battle, Arthur killed Mordred with Excalibur.

However, the King died from wounds received during his final duel with Mordred. As the Knights returned from battle, they threw Excalibur back into the lake, returning it to its roots.
