• The ginkgo tree, native to many parts of Asia, is a large tree with fan-shaped leaves. It is one of the longest-living tree species, with trees living as long as 1,000 years. There are a number of claims as to the benefits of ginkgo, including enhancing memory and attention. Some studies have used ginkgo for the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, although evidence supporting its benefit is yet to be proven.

However, ginkgo does seem to improve blood circulation, which could help the brain function better. Ancient writings dating to 2600 BC describe its use in the treatment of asthma and bronchitis. Some users today claim benefits in the treatment of glaucoma, macular degeneration, ADHD, vertigo, and difficulty concentrating.

• The uses of herbs vary from culinary to medicinal to spiritual. In the culinary world, chefs differentiate between herbs and spices, with herbs referring to the leafy or flowering parts of a plant, such as thyme, parsley, or basil, while spices come from other parts of the plant, such as seeds, berries, bark, roots, and fruits.

• Although the valerian plant has sweetly-scented pink or white flowers, it’s the roots that are wellknown for its sedative qualities. Some studies indicate that it can relax the central nervous system, and it has been used for centuries as a sleeping aid, as well as a muscle relaxant to ease pain.

• The ancient Chinese and Egyptians have written records of how to use herbs as medicine that date back as early as 3,000 BC. A Greek physician named Galen formulated herbal remedies with up to 100 ingredients around the year 160.

chosen as the anniversary of the first color newspaper cartoon published on May 5, 1895.

• A move to Denver in 1923 was the beginning of the famous Russel Stover company. Within two years, there was another factory in Kansas City, followed by a third in Nebraska. When Stover died in 1954, the company was making 11 million pounds of candy a year and was sold in 40 Stover retail outlets and 2,000 department stores. The company today is now the nation’s largest producer of boxed chocolates sold in 70,000 stores, producing 100 million pounds of candy products annually.

• Morse Code Day on May 24 is the anniversary of the first official telegram ever sent. The code had been developed by Samuel F.B. Morse who, with two others, developed an electrical telegraph system that sent pulses of electrical current along wires connected to an electromagnet at the other end. The unique communication method was based on the transmission of pulses and the spaces between them as a series of off-on tones, lights or clicks. These “dots” and ”dashes” could then be directly interpreted by a trained operator on the receiving end, who copied the message.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

By Samantha Weaver

* It was beloved poet William Wordsworth, best know for helping to launch the Romantic age in English literature, who made the following sage observation: “The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.” * The world’s largest bird, the ostrich, may not be able to fly, but that doesn’t mean its wings are useless. As the fastest bird on land, the ostrich uses its wings for balance while slowing down and making turns as it runs at speeds of up to 45 mph. * In 1994, a man named Robert Puelo started cursing and shouting at employees in a convenience store. When the employees (understandably) threatened to call the police, the man stole a hot dog and ran out. The police were called, and upon arrival, they discovered Puelo outside the store, unconscious and turning purple. Paramedics were called, but by the time they arrived, it was too late; the man had choked to death on his stolen sausage. * Some gourmets claim that the most delicious meat they’ve ever eaten is roast monkey. * Those who study such things say that when a man and a woman who have been romantically involved break up, the pair are more likely to remain friends if it’s the woman who initiated the split.

A FEW MORE

OBSERVANCES The month of May has so many holidays and observances we decided add a few more of the most noteworthy ones for you.

• May 1 has been designated Melanoma Monday, with the aim of raising awareness about this aggressive form of skin cancer. Close to 90,000 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed before this year is over, and nearly 10,000 of these cases will result in death. Although melanoma accounts for only 1% of skin cancers, it’s responsible for 75% of all skin cancer fatalities.

• If you’ve never learned to swim, May 20th is just for you! It’s National Learn to Swim Day, set aside to raise awareness about the importance of teaching children to swim. Every day, ten people die from drowning across the country. Of these, two are 14 or younger. Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury deaths in the U.S. for children aged 1 to 4, and fifth overall for all ages. Swimming lessons can reduce a child’s chance of ever drowning by up to 88%.

acres of this grape variety are planted throughout the state. Chardonnay is America’s most popular wine, even more so than red, and the grape is the world’s most widely-planted white wine grape.

Depending on the area where it's produced, plums, apples, pears, figs, peaches, and melons are added to the recipe.

Just Who Are Victims of Financial Fraud?

KEP Partners

AARP conducted a study to look at financial fraud victims based on psychological mindset, and behavioral and demographic characteristics. One notable result was that victims tend to look at the accumulation of wealth as an important life achievement, more so than average investors who had not become victims.

take some of that as her salar y and let it boost her Social Security check?

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Social Security Mailbag Miscellany

Today’s column won’t focus on a single topic. Instead, I’ll just reach into the mailbag (well, really my email inbox) and pull out a hodgepodge of questions:

Q:

I was a minister for many years. I never paid into Social Security while ser ving my church. But about eight years ago, I left the ministr y, and I have since worked at a series of jobs where Social Security taxes have been withheld from my paycheck. I am now 60. My 64-year-old wife has worked all her life and paid into Social Security. Her estimated full retirement benefit is $2,200 per month. Is it worth it for me to continue at these jobs to build up my own Social Security record?

A:

If you are working because you like your job or because you need the income, well, then of course you should continue to work. But if you are working just to build up your Social Security account, then I suggest you quit tomorrow.

And that’s because you will always get more money as a dependent husband on your wife’s Social Security record than you would ever get on your own account. I’ll explain.

You need 40 Social Security credits (some people call them “quarters of coverage”) to be eligible for Social Security retirement benefits. You earn four credits per year. In other words, you need 10 years of work to qualify for your own Social Security. It sounds as if you’d have those 10 years by the time you are 62 years old. But someone who ends up with that bare minimum of one decade’s worth of credits qualifies for a very small monthly Social Security check. My guess is what it would be about $100 per month.

On the other hand, once your wife retires, you will be due anywhere between one-third and one-half of her age-66 retirement benefit rate (depending on your age at the time your wife retires).

It sounds as if that will be about $700 to $1,100 per month. And that is way more than you would be due on your own account.

Let me put that another way. Let’s say you were to get your 40 credits and end up with a Social Security retirement benefit of $120 per month. And let’s further say that you were to be due $1,100 in husband’s benefits. What would happen is that you would get your own $120 and then get $980 in husband’s benefits, for a total of $1,100. Whereas if you were not to have the 40 credits and end up with no Social Security benefit of your own, you’d still end up with $1,100 in husband’s benefits. That’s why it wouldn’t pay for you to work just to build up your own Social Security.

Q:

My wife and I own a successful small business. We both delayed our Social Security payments until 70. I am now 76 and receive $2,797. My wife is 71 and receives $1,632 on her own account. All of our current business income, about $120,000 a year, flows to me. And that extra income boosts my Social Security check by about $20 per month. Would it make sense for my wife to

A:

to Social Security Administration estimates, I will be due $2,550 and she will be due $2,480. Will we be impacted by this maximum amount you mentioned?

I’m not a financial planner or a tax specialist. You’d have to consult that type of person No, you will not. The “family maxito get a proper opinion. But from solely a Social Security perspective, it makes the most sense to mum” I discussed in a recent column applies only continue on your present course. In other words, to Social Security accounts involving benefits for keep building up your Social Security check. Why? children. If, for example, you had minor children Because of the potential benefit it will have for your (and surprisingly, more than a few retirees still wife in future widow’s benefits. Chances are you have young kids at home), there would be a limit are going to die before she does. And when that to how much money could be paid to those chilhappens, she’ll start getting widow’s benefits. Her dren. Those “family maximum” rules are too comown benefit will be supplemented by up to 100 per- plicated to explain here. But that’s OK, because cent of whatever you are getting at the time of your they don’t apply to you and your wife anyway.

Also because of its rarity, screening for the cancer in a general population won’t be effective. However, for people at high risk, such as those with PSC or a history of liver parasites, at least one study has shown that screening with a blood test (CA 19-9, CEA) or by endoscopy can be effective. It would be reasonable to speak with the expert taking care of this problem, usually a gastroenterologist, about screening.

ANSWER: I am sorry to hear about your relative. Cholangiocarcinoma is cancer of the bile duct, a rare cancer. Liver flukes are a risk factor, and so is a condition called primary sclerosing cholangitis, a condition associated with ulcerative colitis. The cancer is rare but highly lethal, because by the time symptoms show up, the cancer usually is advanced.

Q:

by Anne McCollam

Coffee Set Was Made in Endo Toki Q:

I have enclosed a photo of a porcelain tea set I own. It is a ser vice for four that includes a teapot, dessert plates, cups and saucers. It is decorated with roses against a tan background and gold embellishment. Marked on the back of each piece are the words “Lefton China -- Hand Painted -- Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.” Also, on the teapot is the number “1866.” The letters “NE” and the number “1882” is on the plates, and “703” are on the cups.

I would appreciate any information you can give me on my set.

I have a porcelain washbowl and matching pitcher that is decorated with a floral design against a white background that graduates to a soft green. The bowl is 16 inches in diameter, and the pitcher stands 11 inches tall. They are in mint condition.

The set belonged to my great-grandmother; it was gifted to her in the early 1900s.

I would never part with it, and since I plan to pass it along to my granddaughter, I would like to know more about its histor y and value.

La Belle/Wheeling Pottery was located in Wheeling, West Virginia.

A:

Your wash set was made by La Belle China, also known as Wheeling Pottery Co., in Wheeling West, Virginia, from 1879 to 1910. Wash sets often included a washbowl or basin, a large water pitcher, a small pitcher, a toothbrush holder, a soap dish, a chamber pot and a waste bowl.

Similar wash sets can be seen selling in the range of $100 to $150 on the internet and in antiques shops. * * *

George Zoltan Lefton founded Lefton China Co. in 1941.

A:

Hungarian emigrant George Zoltan Lefton founded Lefton China Co. in Chicago in 1941. After World War II, he seized the opportunity to export porcelain made in Japan to the United States. By the 1970s, factories in China, Taiwan and Malaysia were added to the list of suppliers. Lefton was one of the largest importers of giftware and became referred to as “The China King.” Some pieces were also marked with a paper label. You have a coffeepot, not a teapot.

A teapot is much more round and squat. The pattern is Lefton’s “Brown Heritage -- Floral.” The numbers are model numbers. “NE” shows the set was made in Endo Toki, Japan.

Your coffee set was made between 1946 and 1955. It would probably be worth $125 to $175.

his wife suddenly took ill and perished. By the time Morse received a letter with the news, his wife had already been buried. As a result of that heartbreaking experience, Morse was determined to find a faster way to quickly send messages over long distances.

• The first telegraph was sent from the Capitol in Washington, D.C. over 40 miles of wires to Baltimore. A Congressman’s 17-year-old daughter was allowed to choose what the first telegram would say. She chose a phrase from the Bible, “What hath God wrought?” Within ten years, more than 20,000 miles of telegraph had been strung across the United States, linking the nation's communications ability from coast to coast.

• Western Union, the best-known telegram company in the U.S., was founded in 1851, and continued operations until its last telegram was finally delivered in 2006. The common use of telephones, the internet and the postal system had rendered the use of the telegram obsolete.

By that time, the total number of telegrams had dwindled to such an insigificant number that the archaic method was abandoned completely.

• The World Health Organization urges you to make May 31 the day that you quit the use of tobacco. Every year, this global group sponsors World No Tobacco Day, aimed at educating the public about the dangers of tobacco use.

The Natural Laws of Golf

Two to Ten Degrees Golf has many zones of success where the club or body doesn’t have to be in exact positions in order to be successful. For example, the upper body is in an address orientation where the spine should be slightly tilted away from the target. Because the right hand is lower on the club than the left, the shoulders should naturally be tilted uphill. In order to compliment the shoulders, the entire upper body should be tilted somewhere between two and ten degrees away from the target.

The golf shirt’s placard can serve as a great “reference line” for the spine when you look downward at address. Due to the body tilt, the placard should align toward the left instep. If the line points right sided, or outside the left foot, the upper body has drifted outside its zone of two to ten degrees of tilt. Take note that the tilt may ADVERTISING PROOF increase for the longer clubs, but it should still Final stay Changes DUE: 5:00 in that zone.
