Q: Do I automatically get Medi-care benefi ts if I’m eligible for dis-ability benefi ts?
A: After you have received dis-ability benefi ts for 24 months, we will automatically enroll you in Medicare. We start counting the 24 months from the month you were entitled to receive disability, not the month when you received your fi rst benefi t payment. Sometimes you can get state Medicaid in the meantime. There are exceptions to this rule. People with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s dis-ease) and chronic renal disease may be able to get Medicare earlier. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov or call us at (800) 772-1213 (TTY [800] 325-0778).

When sharon clizer asked fellow beta sigma Phi sorority members to donate bottles of nail polish for the residents at Preferred care adult family home in clarkston, she hoped some of the service organization’s members might have a few to spare. When all was said and done, members of the laureate beta chapter had donated more than 400 bottles.
it was a gift of beauty, and so much more.Preferred care’s owner, Mary ann garges, beamed
as resident Melba Hodges, 95, modestly extended an expertly manicured hand so her petal-pink nails — her own, not artificial — could be admired by visitors recently.
“Those hands could probably tell a lot of stories,” garges said.
“i was a farmer’s wife,” Hodges said, recalling days when she would dress 200 chickens. “i could never have nice nails.”
Pampering is well deserved and often long overdue for the residents, garges said: “Our motto is, ‘if not now, when?’ ”
earlier that morning, clizer had arranged Hodges’ snow-white hair in a simple style that managed to be both classic and current, and suited her vibrant person-ality. “i always kept it curled,” Hodges said. “since i’ve been here, i’m tickled to have her fix it.”
equally important as feeling pretty and put-together, socializing with clizer is something to look forward to each week. “it’s worth a lot, i think,” Hodges said. “i feel like she’s an old friend.”
clizer comes to Preferred care to do hair and nails every Wednesday, and this week she also was planning a saturday visit to style Margaret Wolf ’s hair for her 90th birthday party. “it’s wonderful,” Wolf, a retired teacher, said of her weekly beauty regimen.
“it’s a real treat for me,” she explained as clizer ap-plied a coat of polish to her nails. “i remember the years when i got my hair done twice a year — to get a perm.”
clizer, 69, became a certified nursing assistant at age 66 when she partnered with garges to start Preferred care. she left her administrative duties there to take a job as director of religious education at Holy family catholic Parish in clarkston. “but i couldn’t give up the hair,” she said.
caregiver Margaret cole appreciates clizer’s dedica-tion to the residents. “she really does a nice job,” cole said.
for the last 14 years, Jan Olson has been the hair-

feel pretty and have that
attention.”

Home
“What would the beauty
shop be with-out a little gossip here and there.”
— Jan Olson, hairdresser at Emeritus
at Juniper Meadows
dresser at Emeritus at Juniper Meadows. “Ever since they opened,” she said.
The relationships Olson has developed during that time are about much more than hair. “They’re like my second family,” she said of her clients. Most of them are Juniper Meadows residents, but some fol-lowed her here from the salon where she worked previously.
Olson, a private contractor who leases the salon space inside the assisted-living facility, offers haircuts for both women and men, permanents and, perhaps most im-portantly, roller sets, “Which not too many people do in this day and age,” she said.
Most of her clients have standing once-a-week appointments. “Same time, same place, same day,” she said.
Renee McCarley, 83, is no exception. “My children pay for it,” she said. “I come once a week.”
Having an in-house salon is important, McCarley said. “Most of the ladies here don’t drive.”
In addition to logistics, there’s value in
the classic social element of a beauty parlor, magnified by the fact most of the people who use it live in the same build-ing. “It’s like a newspaper,” McCarley said, peering out from beneath a dryer, her hair in rollers.
In a still-thick French accent, McCarley, who came to Lewiston in 1946 as a war bride, explained the salon is a good place to catch up on the social scene. Today, she was curious about a new resident. He seemed shy, she said, but she was looking forward to getting to know him.
“What would the beauty shop be with-out a little gossip here and there,” Olson said, smiling.
Mildred Scott, 91, was there for a roller set, too. She and Olson have discovered a connection dating back many years. “I worked with her mother,” Scott said. “We were both school secretaries.”
Scott, who has lived at Juniper Meadows for 5½ years, said making the daily effort to dress well, put on jewelry and maintain their hair is important for seniors.
Emeritus at Juniper Mead-ows executive director Darce Vassar sees the salon both as a practical service and an enhancement to the residents’ day-to-day lives. “It’s one of your outings,” she said.
“Outings” for salon services aren’t appreciated only by women.
Sarah Yoder, administrator at the Idaho State Veterans Home in Lewiston, where the majority of the residents are men, said haircuts are espe-cially meaningful for some
veterans. With their military background, she said, many still wear their hair in a traditional, close-cut style.
“I think they appreciate feeling like they did when they were in the service,” Yoder said.
Haircuts, as well as perms and sets for women, are typically offered once a week at the Veterans Home.
“We have a barber that comes in, and then we also have a beautician who comes in to work with our ladies,” Yoder said.
The women clearly enjoy having their wash and set or getting a perm, she said. “(But) I think the men like it, too.”
Being cared for, maybe even pampered a little, is a universal desire, Yoder said. “I think it’s fundamental to all of us to feel pretty and have that attention.”

Let Us Be Old
Take away her wrinkles, her mottled skin.
Let her fingers be smooth and soft again.
Thicken her hair, bring back its wavy shine.
Let her memory be again as sharp as mine.
See her as I see her, as she is inside.
This smarty pants I took to be my bride.
Brash and cheeky, silly,
verbally uncouth.She lends age charm. She
trumpets youth.My salt, my sweet, my music,
my light,My morning thought, my
treasured sight,My before and my after.
She’s my joy forever, my love, my laughter.
So keep your steady stride, your 20/20 eyes,
Your perfect heart rate, your muscled thighs.
Let us be old, to belch and snuggle and snore.
We judge no more. We’ve seen it all before.
Dan J. Williams, 81, Lewiston
True Green
St. Patrick’s Cathedral, tall and serene,
Stands surrounded by trees and lawn green.
In Dublin City we used the tour bus,
Perfect for us we were so curious.
On past the church we came to the harbor,
Deep green splashing waves and white sails galore.
Green awninged shops with Norwegian names,
Proving that long ago brave Vikings came.
On a corner we heard “Cockles and mussels!”
And also saw a sign saying truffles.
A band of pipers dressed in plaids of green,
Paraded playing Kathleen Mavourneen.
Then to see lovely Trinity College
Where Book of Kells dis-played ancient knowledge.Around the town, greenest
fields and high hillsFilled us with Irish Grand-
mother’s true thrills.Her pride in the green she
loves.
Lucille Magnuson, 92, Moscow
A Daughter and a Son
Someday I guess we’ll pay our debts up there
When our race down here with life is finally run
But nothing can diminish what we’ve left
The saga of a daughter and a son
When the heavens finally open up and take me
And there sits the blessed Lord upon his throne
I suppose that I’ll be damned to see hell’s fire
And for eternity to face my trials alone
As he calls out the transgres-sions I’ve assumed
So an angel can record them one by one
As I accept the fate he’s plan-ning to be mine
I will think about my daughter and my son
I can only say I’ve proven that my soul
didn’t mean enough to me to try and save
So whatever he decrees for me is waiting
I will face it on arising from the grave
But if in fact, perchance, he’s understanding
And forgives me for the many things I’ve done
Before I go, I’d like to rise and thank him
For the blessings of a daughter and a son

It seems that when so many of us are letting technology do most of our communicating, the camarade-rie can get lost in translation.
That is why I went in search of a place free from tweets and cell-phone ringers, to have lunch with a group who prefers human contact to Facebook updates.
I’m talking about the Senior Roundtable at the Pautler Senior Center in Clarkston. It was Friday, which at the Roundtable means the premier salad bar mixed with an ex-tra half hour or so of time spent with friends.
Pat Sargent, who manages the local program, comes out to the dining area as the masses arrive. Sargent greets each table, making the rounds, saying hello and get-ting razzed by a few of the patrons, which she gives right back.
As I walked from table to table with her, I saw a few familiar faces and meet lots of new ones. Each one welcoming and happy to be right where they were — sharing a meal with new and old friends.
Fridays are busy for the Senior Roundtable, as many seniors really enjoy the salad bar, which could be lost due to budget issues. This par-ticular Friday, there were 139 folks having lunch at the center. Sargent tries to make it fair by rolling dice for the order in which the tables will eat. But this doesn’t just make it fair, it adds a level of fun. As she rolled the dice, individuals in the crowd called out the numbers of the tables they were sitting at hoping they
would be next.I sat with a group and discussed
their favorite parts of coming to lunch at the center
“Don’t have to do dishes,” one man said. “And you don’t have to fi x it,” Barbara Hamlin chimed in.
Gerald Behler said he likes Fri-days because he can have salad bar for lunch and then take home the main entree to have for dinner that night, essentially providing him with two meals at a very low cost.
“Getting out of an empty house,” also entices Behler to come to Se-nior Roundtable. Behler is a wid-ower and tries to keep himself busy with daily activities.
It’s funny when you think about how many of us are in constant communication with the outside world, yet we don’t often see those with whom we are communicating. Some of us rarely even hear close
friends and family members’ voices because we tweet, text, email and communicate through social media like Facebook and Google-plus. All the while there is a whole group of society who long for that personal connection: hearing voices, seeing faces, being in the same room with others just like them.
The Senior Roundtable doesn’t just provide area seniors with a place to catch up with friends, it provides them with a nutritious meal three times a week. It’s a meal they otherwise may not get, for any one of several reasons, from not being able to afford it to simply not want-ing to cook for one. The individuals who come to the lunches at the cen-ter do so with gratitude for all this program has given to them — fel-lowship, entertainment, good food and a crew of individuals who work hard to make sure that each experi-ence they have at the Roundtable is a great one.

House CallConsider checking with your doctor to see which immuniza-tions can help keep you healthy. I have listed a few of the most com-mon adult vaccine-preventable ill-nesses:l Influenza is a seasonal illness
of sudden onset with symptoms that can include high fever, cough, sore throat and severe muscle aches. It is not simply a “cold,” nor is it what sometimes is called the “stomach flu.” Most people get better in sev-eral days to two weeks, but some people can actually die of compli-cations such as pneumonia. People with other medical problems such as lung, heart or immune diseases are at more risk of complications. The influenza virus changes over time, so it is important to be re-im-munized yearly.l Pneumonia is a lung disease
that can cause fever, cough, diffi-culties breathing and even death. It can be caused by a number of viruses and bacteria. The vaccine against pneumonia protects against 23 different types of the most com-
mon bacterial pneumo-nia, called pneumococ-cal pneumonia. In most cases, this vaccine is given one time at age 65, though this can vary based on an individual’s health.l Shingles is a painful
rash that can happen to anyone who had chick-enpox. The chickenpox virus never totally goes away; it is typically kept in check by the immune system. The vaccine works by strengthen-ing the immune system. Usually the rash consists of localized groups of blisters on one side of the body. Not only is the rash painful for the sev-eral weeks it lasts, but some people will have significant pain remaining after the rash heals, called post-herpetic neuralgia. This vaccine consists of a single dose that typically is given at age 60 or
older, and can provide protection even to peo-ple who have already had shingles.l Tetanus is a disease
known as “lockjaw,” which causes severe muscle spasms that, even when treated, can prove fatal. This can be pre-vented by a vaccine that should be updated every 10 years. In most cases tetanus vaccine is given together with the vaccine against diphtheria.l A new vaccine
that includes protec-tion against pertussis or “whooping cough” is available. It is now suggested that all adults over the age of 64 have this vaccine one time,
and anyone younger should have this pertussis-containing vaccine if they will be around children young-er than 12 months old.
Vaccines not only protect you,
