• Multi-Slide, Bi-fold, • In the 1600s, Ellis Island was the home of Mohegan Indians, who called it Kioshk, or Gull Island. The 3.3-acre island was purchased in the 1630s by a Dutchman, who renamed it Oyster Island because of the large numbers of shellfish found on its beaches. During the 1700s, it was renamed again, this time to Gibbet Island, a term for a large upright post used as a gallows. The island was regularly used as a place to hang those convicted of piracy and other serious crimes.

• New York merchant Samuel Ellis bought the island in 1775 and built a tavern there to serve local fisherman. It changed hands again in 1808 when the state of New York purchased it to store ammunition during the War of 1812. The Ellis name stuck.

If you already have a solar system installed, or yours is installed and approved before July 1 of this year, you are grandfathered in for 20 years so nothing should change.

Q:

What if I don’t get solar, does anything change?

All SCE customers will be moved to a Time-of-Use billing program in 2018, and then you can opt out or change to a different TOU program, depending on how and when you use energy. You may find that with SCE’s new TOU programs, you need solar more than ever!

Reversing Aging With Exercise

We’ve known for a long time that exercise is good for seniors. Now scientists have been able to isolate just why that is -- right down to the cell level -- and they've also determined what type of exercise is best.

High-intensity interval training (called HIIT), such as walking and cycling, won out over resistance training and a program that combined both, according to the Mayo Clinic. At the heart of the study is mitochondrial cell function, which seniors lose as we age. High-intensity interval training makes new protein in the muscles ... and reverses some signs of aging. Yes, they said, it’s necessary to do a few days of resistance training to actually make muscles stronger, but that wouldn’t happen without the high-intensity aerobic exercise.

information? First, check with your doctor that a HIIT program would be appropriate for you.

It might work something like this: sitting on a stationary cycle and pedaling moderately for a period of time, with 30-second bursts of fast pedaling in the middle. Or, a moderate walking pace might be broken up with high-intensity moving for a half minute. For maximum benefit, try what the research group did: three days of high-intensity training, with two days of weight training.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Divorced Couple Hits the Social Security Jackpot

Today’s column illustrates yet another example of a situation I had never encountered in my 45-year career of working on Social Security issues.

And this time it’s the story of two very different Social Security rules intersecting and leading to a bizarre circumstance that allows some lucky people to milk the Social Security system out of unintended benefits. It all started with this email I got from a reader:

Q:

My ex-wife and I are both about to turn 66. We were married for about 35 years before getting divorced. Neither of us has remarried. We each have worked most of our lives and are due similar Social Security retirement benefits. We have remained friends and would like to maximize our benefits. I am planning to continue working indefinitely. Can my ex-wife “file and restrict” on my account even though I am not yet receiving benefits?

A:

At first, I was going to simply respond, “Yes, she can,” and be done with my answer. But then I got to thinking through your situation and realized that you guys have hit the Social Security jackpot. Each of you will be able to claim spousal benefits off of the other’s record and save your own Social Security benefits until 70 and get the 32 percent bonus that comes from that delayed retirement maneuver. And in order to show you how this all works out, I’ve got to explain the mechanics behind two different Social Security rules and how they come together in a weird way to help each of you.

First, I will discuss the “file and restrict” rule. The law normally says that if you file for any kind of Social Security, you must take your own benefits first. Only after your own retirement is paid, can you look to a spouse’s record to see if you are due any additional benefits on his or her account.

But if you wait until age 66 to claim benefits, you can ignore that law. You could file for dependent benefits on your spouse’s record and claim 50 percent of his or her full retirement age rate for the next four years and then, at age 70, switch to your own full benefit plus the 32 percent bonus that goes along with delaying your retirement benefits until 70. (I also must remind my readers that the file and restrict strategy is going away. It only applies to people turning 66 before 2020.)

The only stipulation to employing the file and restrict tactic is that your spouse must be collecting Social Security before you can claim dependent benefits on his or her record. And this is where a second unrelated law comes into play in your case.

The second rule I need to explain is what is called the independently entitled divorced spouse law. As alluded to in the prior paragraph, a husband or wife can’t get any benefits off of his or her spouse’s record until that spouse is collecting benefits. But the law has always been different for divorced spouses. For example, a wife can get benefits on her ex-husband’s record even if he hasn’t filed

for benefits himself yet. He must be old enough for month from then on. And when she is 70, your ex Social Security (meaning he has to be over age 62), would stop getting divorced wife’s benefits and but again, he doesn’t have to be collecting benefits. she would file for her retirement and start getting Here is the reason that law was passed. The law $3,300 monthly, again, with the 32 percent bonus.

I hope you realize how bizarre it is that assumes that a married dependent wife can rely you are able to do this. A whole lot of stars had to on the husband’s income for support until he actually retires and files for Social Security himself. line up just right. In addition to those two aforeBut the law can’t make that same assumption for a mentioned laws being in place, you each had to be divorced wife. She is no longer “dependent” on her pushing 66 at the same time (and before the 2020 ex-husband’s income. She is “independent.” So the cutoff date), you each had to have not remarried, law allows an independently entitled divorced wife and you each had to have your own fairly substanto get her husband’s Social Security even though tial retirement benefit rate.

Just like anyone else employing the file he might not yet be getting benefits. (The same and restrict strategy, you would have to compare rules would apply to a divorced husband.)

Now here is how these two laws come to- the above option with your normal course of action gether to help you. The “restricted application rule” -- which would be for each of you to simply file for allows one of you to file for benefits as a spouse and your own full benefits at age 66. In other words, save your own benefits until age 70. And again, nor- instead of getting just $1,250 per month between mally the other spouse must apply for benefits first. age 66 and 70, you could be getting your own

But the independently entitled divorced $2,200 full retirement rate. So you would be giving spouse law says the first spouse does not have to up $950 per month for 48 months, or $45,600 in orbe getting Social Security in order for the other der to reap that 32 percent bonus at 70.

ANSWER: To be honest, no. However, I did look it up, and found that Cameron erosions are found only in people with a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia isn’t like an umbilical or groin hernia; in a hiatal hernia, the stomach goes upward into the chest through the diaphragm, the sheet of muscle that separates your chest from your abdomen. It is our primary muscle for breathing.

There normally is a hole in the diaphragm (the hiatus), but in a hiatal hernia, the structures that hold the stomach in place weaken and allow it to

ware that I’ve had for many years. The enclosed mark is on each piece. The set was designed by Raymond Loewy and is his Classic Modern White line. It is a ser vice for 12 and includes all the ser ving pieces, a coffee pot and a teapot. Each dish is white and trimmed with a gold band.

I hope you can give me a general idea of the value today of my dinner ware.

by Anne McCollam

Chocolate Pot Spouts Are Short Q:

I have sent a photo of a porcelain coffee pot, and six matching cups and saucers. They are decorated with white flowers, vines and green leaves against a white background with gold trim. The pot is about 9 inches tall. Each piece is marked with the words “Hand Painted -- Nippon.” The set was a wedding gift to my great-grandparents around 1919, and it is in mint condition.

I would like to know more about its histor y and insurance value.

Raymond Loewy designed porcelain dinnerware for Rosenthal China Co

A:

Rosenthal China made your dinnerware. It has been in business in Germany since 1879. American industrial designer Raymond Loewy created a plethora of designs for diverse objects ranging from china to automobiles. His work was streamlined and modern. The shape of his “Classic Modern” was decorated with a variety of designs. Your set is an example of Loewy’s Form 2000 pattern number 3680 and was introduced in 1954. By the 1960s, the line was no longer in production.

Your midcentury modern dinnerware would probably be worth $1,000 to $1,500. * * *

“Nippon” is the Japanese word for “Japan.”

A:

You have a hot chocolate set rather than a coffee set. A chocolate pot is usually tall with a broad base that narrows at the top and stands from 8 inches to 13 inches tall. Chocolate pot spouts are short and narrow at the top. In comparison, coffee pots have long spouts that begin at the base. Teapots have spouts that originate at the center of a squat pot. Both coffee pots and teapots have filters.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, chocolate was exotic, expensive and the elixir of the gods -- or at least the European kings and queens. By the time the Industrial Revolution rolled around, chocolate was becoming affordable. Porcelain chocolate pots were in demand and made in Japan, Europe and the United States. By the early 1900s, their popularity began to wane. “Nippon” is the Japanese word for Japan.

Your hand-painted chocolate pot set should be insured for $225 to $325.

* On April 19, 1775, the American Revolution begins when 700 British troops march into Lexington to find 77 armed Minutemen waiting for them on the town’s common green. Suddenly, the “shot heard around the world” was fired.

Eight Americans lay dead or dying and 10 others were wounded. * On April 20, 1841, Edgar Allen Poe’s story “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” first appears in Graham’s Lady’s and Gentleman’s Magazine. The tale, widely considered to be the first detective story, describes the extraordinary “analytical power” used by Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin to solve a series of murders in Paris. * On April 21, 1865, a train carrying the coffin of assassinated President Abraham Lincoln leaves Washington, D.C. on its way to Springfield, Illinois, where he would be buried on May 4. The train traveled through 180 cities and seven states, stopping at each town for a ceremony. * On April 18, 1906, an earthquake estimated at close to 8.0 on the Richter scale strikes San Francisco, toppling buildings, igniting fires and breaking water mains. An estimated 3,000 people died and 30,000 buildings were destroyed. * On April 22, 1945, Adolf Hitler, learning from one of his generals that no German defense was offered to the Russian assault at nearby Eberswalde, admits to all in his underground bunker that the war is lost. He committed suicide a week later. * On April 17, 1964, the Ford Mustang is officially unveiled by Henry Ford II at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York. The new car debuted in Ford showrooms on the same day, and almost 22,000 Mustangs were immediately snapped up by buyers. * On April 23, 1987, the Chrysler Corporation purchases Nuova Automobili F.

Ellis Island:

Page 15

(from page page 3)

began to fall into neglect and abandonment.

During World War II, part of the island was used to house suspected Nazi sympathizers and enemies of the state.

•

From 1925 until 1954, only 2.3 million immigrants were processed. In November, 1954, all 33 structures were officially closed, and the island was declared government surplus property. A Norwegian merchant seaman, Arne Peterssen, was the last person to pass through immigration at that location.

• In 1965, Ellis Island became a National Park Service National Monument; however, it didn’t open to the public until 1976, when the island was toured by 50,000 visitors. Six years later, President Reagan initiated a fundraiser for private investors for the restoration and preservation of the facility. The $156 million project was completed in 1990, and the Main Arrivals Building was re-opened to the public.

Millions of immigrant arrival records were made available to the public in 2001, enabling visitors to trace their ancestry in the restored Hall. More than 30 million visitors have toured Ellis Island since 1990.

• Of the original 33 structures on the island, 29 are still closed, awaiting restoration.

• Numerous well-known immigrants have been processed through Ellis Island over the years, including cosmetics icon Max Factor from Poland and actor Cary Grant from England.

The Von Trapp Family singers of “The Sound of Music” fame came through from Austria.

Athletes Charles Atlas, Knute Rockne, and Johnny Weissmuller also were processed there. At least two well-known criminals came through the station; gangster Lucky Luciano from Italy, and German Bruno Hauptmann, later convicted of kidnapping the Lindbergh baby. 

Two Club Timing

STAN SMITH’S TENNIS CLASS

Coordinating the swing to be balanced, rhythmic, and effortless will be a constant battle for any golfer over their career. It doesn’t take long to lose the swing’s internal timing, especially when playing competitively or in adverse conditions (under pressure). Typically, the body movements get rushed and the arms don’t have time to make their normal, full movements. Your swing can be said to be “out of sync”.

One of the best reminders of rhythm and timing is a drill requiring the swing of two separate clubs in each hand. Typically players will use mid irons to perform this drill. Trying to slowly swing two clubs at once will force your arms and body to take a little extra time and coordination so the clubs don’t crash along the way. As you gain confidence with this drill, try swinging them faster until you’re at 60-75% of normal effort or speed. Try hitting balls directly afterward while performing a similar effort level, rhythm, and balance.
