Thought for the month

“My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant’s point of view.”

— H. Fred Ale

MCCLATCHYTRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Q: Recently, I was told I shouldn’t be carrying my Social Security card around. Is that true?

A: We encourage you to keep your Social Se-curity card at home in a safe place. Do not carry it with you unless you are taking it to a job interview or to someone who requires it. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America, and the best way to avoid becoming a victim is to safe-guard your card and number. To learn more, visit our Social Security number and card page at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.

———Q: My father receives Social Security retirement

benefi ts, and I will be in charge of his estate when he dies. Should that occur, do I need to report his death to Social Security or will benefi ts automati-cally stop?

A: When your father dies, please notify Social Security as soon as possible by calling us at (800) 772-1213 (TTY [800] 325-0778). Another person, such as a spouse, may be eligible for survivors benefi ts based on his record. Also, we might be able to pay a one-time payment of $255 to help with funeral expenses. We suggest reading a copy of our online publication “How Social Security Can Help You When A Family Member Dies” at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10008.html.

———Q: I have been getting Social Security disability

benefi ts for many years. I’m about to hit my full

retirement age. What will happen to my disability benefi ts?

A: When you reach “full retirement age” we will switch you from disability to retirement ben-efi ts. But you won’t even notice the change be-cause your benefi t amount will stay the same. It’s just that when you reach retirement age, we con-sider you to be a “retiree” and not a disability ben-efi ciary. To learn more, visit our website at www.socialsecurity.gov.

———Q: I can’t fi nd my Medicare card and I need a

replacement. Do I need to come into the offi ce?A: You can get your Medicare card replaced

without leaving your home. Just go online to www.socialsecurity.gov/medicarecard/ and get your new Medicare card sent to your home. Simply fi ll out the requested information and you’ll get your new Medicare card within 30 days; it will be mailed to your address on record. If you need tem-porary proof of Medicare coverage, call our toll-free number at (800) 772-1213 to request a letter and you will receive it in the mail within seven to 10 days. If you need immediate proof of your Medicare coverage, please visit your local Social Security offi ce.

READER POETRYYakima

On the rough rangeland of the coulees, near Palouse River’s mighty falls,

a young cowboy handles cattle, until new adventure calls.

It is Hollywood that beckons. He leaves Washtucna’s arid scene.

He shows his hard-earned skill with horses on the silent silver screen.

My wife’s dad thinks he’s a hero. He knows him by his rolling walk.

He is a top box-office draw, until films begin to talk.

His harsh and raspy voice throws his career into a rut.

Alas! Heros should sound better than Yakima Canutt.

So he invents stunt-fighting, rides midst the feet of racing teams,

lies dragging from one stirrup, creates the best of action scenes.

Marion Morrison needs lessons: Yakima takes his young charge aside.He schools him in his rolling walk,

teaches him to rope and ride.

This young actor has a pleasant voice. He rides well, and walks the same.

He can even sing a bit. “John Wayne” is his new name.

Now if you like your Western movies, with fist-fights in the dust.

The credits will show, “Action: by Yakima Canutt.”

“Breakheart Pass” gets filmed in Idaho, on the Camas Prairie line.

Charles Bronson and his wife come here. The cast is mighty fine.

The venerable locomotive, with itsantiquated cars,

wait at Arrow, on a siding. They are also “movie stars.”

Fight in the tunnel on the grade. Lurch through every till and cut.

Fall from Lawyer’s Canyon Trestle, in stunts by Yakima Canutt.

Remember when we walk or ride, or maybe even soar,

we are standing on the shoulders of the ones who came before.

David Wahl, 72, Genesee

Our GardenOur Garden is in full bloom, we see it

from our dining room.New birds peek from the birdhouse door; Mr. Cat eyes them from the

porch floor.A humming bird hovers above, red

syrup, his love.Snapdragons reach for the sun’s rays,

where butterflies float always.Hollyhocks will bloom soon, Petunias

reflect the silver moon.Pansies pose for our pleasure, we enjoy

zinnias for good measure.Each meal made better with the sight

of our blossoming delight.

They joke their group started as scabs: secret committee of airport bums.

but Douglas l. black, leroy chausse, Deann scrabeck and Jim Otey go by the somewhat more dignified friends of the airport now, and saturday they’ll present their most ambitious project to date — the lewis-clark air festival.

The event, with the theme “salute to Veterans,” will include a program hon-oring veterans at 10 a.m. and attendees can purchase rides on the commemora-tive air force b-17 bomber sentimen-tal Journey friday through sunday.

The festival epitomizes the 2-year-old group’s goal of promoting the airport, a mission for which these four retirees, all of lewiston, seem uniquely suited.

The three men figure they have about 160 years of aviation experience, combined.

“i don’t know anything about air-planes,” scrabeck, 73, said. “except i’ve been around the world (as a passen-ger).”

in addition to the perspective of a world traveler, she brings the experi-ence of a career in event management for insurance and funeral businesses.

Many seniors find their niche and give back, chausse, 74, said. for some, that might mean knitting tea cozies. for this group, putting their life’s skills

and interests together meant getting behind the airport.

“everyone needs to have a purpose,” scrabeck said. “and this purpose has value to the community and region.”

“a quarter of a million people walk through those front doors a year,” black said, noting some are there to drop off or pick up passengers, so not all are airline customers.

educating the community about the airport’s potential to impact the basic economy – in areas from agriculture to tourism – is impor-tant, he said.

“lewiston will never be on an inter-state, but we do have an airport that will take us around the world,” scra-beck said.

black, 83, has served eight years on the city of lewiston’s solid waste advisory commission and was instru-mental in the creation of syringa Park in his lewiston neighborhood. getting involved in the airport was another project that just kind of fell into place.

“You get a gut feeling when you see

something good that’s workable,” he said.

Otey said he likes that friends of the airport isn’t recognized in any official manner. The group has no budget, source of income or interest in becom-ing an official entity such as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, though it has had “fantastic” support from the airport authority and manager robin Turner, black said.

Their group avoids politics, chausse said, and focuses on the sole aim of cre-ating awareness about the airport.

“it’s to get people interested in what the airport has to offer,” he said.

The men described their back-grounds as the group made its way toward the hangar where Otey’s 1946 aeronca plane is housed.

black got his private pilot’s license in 1947 when he was a junior in high

school. “and from there it was 50 years of mayhem,” he said, laughing.

He may be joking about the mayhem, but there’s a sense of fun and adventure just below the surface, enthusiasm that bubbles over when the group turns to the topic of the air festival.

by happy coincidence, Otey ex-plained, the Puget sound antique airplane club will be using lewiston as a stopping point for a Hell’s canyon river tour this weekend, so the associa-tion’s planes are scheduled to be at the airport saturday during the air festival.

and since the b-17 airplane couldn’t be here last year because of engine trouble, its schedulers offered to make it available this year even though it’s not part of the typical rotation.

as the friends continued toward Otey’s plane, black explained he grew up in everett, Wash., started his career

A love for aviation and support for the local airport has brought (from left to right) DeAnn Scrabeck, Douglas Black, Leroy Chausse and Jim Otey together to talk about the forthcoming air festival in Lewiston.

“Everyone needs to have a purpose. And this purpose has value to the community and region.” — DeAnn Scrabeck

TOP: Douglas Black, DeAnn Scrabeck, Jim Otey and Leroy Chausse walk between planes on the tarmac at the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport. ABOVE: Longtime pilots Chausse and Black share sto-ries about flying during their careers. Black has given up his wings but Chausse continues to soar through the air. The group of four makes up the Friends of the Airport, which will host to the Lewis-Clark Air Festi-

val Saturday at the airport.

with West Coast Airlines in Portland, Ore., served with the Oregon Air National Guard during the Korean War and went on to become a com-mercial pilot. It was a career that ultimately brought him to Lewiston where he flew Potlatch Corp.’s Learjet until the company’s aviation division was discontinued in 1992 and he retired.

Otey, 72, the baby of the group, served as a crew chief and technical inspector in the U.S. Army and later ran a flight school and aircraft maintenance business part-time. When his main career, in banking, came to an end during the frenzy of bank mergers, he went to work for Boeing, where he became a flight test director. He moved to Lewiston in 2000 from the Seattle area and is president of the local chapter of the Experi-mental Aircraft Association.

Chausse, an air posse member, got his private pilot’s license in 1961 and went on to earn his commercial license, flight-instructor certificate and various endorsements. After a career with the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon, Nevada and Burley, Idaho, he moved to Lewiston in 1985 and worked as an insurance agent.

Otey and Chausse still fly. Black said he decided to quit while he was ahead.

At the hangar, Otey wheeled out the slight,100 horsepower plane he purchased in 1998 as wreckage. Using his skills as an aircraft mechanic, he has restored the plane — it took six

years to rebuild the engine — and added some features not original to the 1946 model, such as a radio, a GPS and an alternator, so it would no longer need to be started by hand.

“It’s a sweet-flying, easy-to-fly trainer intended for training pilots,” Otey said, as his fellow Friends of the Airport looked on in admiration.

Air festival soars SaturdayThe Lewiston-Clarkston Valley has been home to various avia-

tion events, including The Lewis-Clark Air Festival. This year’s air festival is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the

Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport and will include he-licopter rides and model aircraft demonstrations, with a “Salute to Veterans” at 10 a.m.

It is the first time the Friends of the Airport have organized the event, which was previously organized by the Experimental Aircraft Association .

Admission to the festival is free and rides on the B-17 Sentimen-tal Journey are available for a $425 fee. Breakfast and lunch will be available to purchase.

The event will include participation by the EAA, Nez Perce County Sheriff’s Air Posse and numerous corporate sponsors.

Elder chic comes of age

By Booth MooreFor The Los AngeLes Times

For all those who are tired of see-ing style and fashion presented solely as a young woman’s game, behold “Advanced Style.”

Out in May from PowerHouse Books, this collection of street-fash-ion photographs of the over-60 set is a joy.

Although few of the subjects pho-tographed on the streets of New York City reveal precisely how old they are, they offer lessons in confidence and style that women of all ages will appreciate, which is exactly why Ari Seth Cohen started Advanced Style, the blog that inspired the book.

Among the stylish figures in the book is the elegant and refined Rose, age 100, pictured in a paisley caftan, Hermes belt and oversized beads. Her credo? “If everyone is wearing it, then it’s not for me.” Alice, pos-ing in a men’s tweed jacket, jodhpurs, boots, fingerless gloves and a silk scarf, says, “Fie on women in sneak-ers and sweats.” Then there’s Debra, in electric-blue sunglasses and bro-cade pants, who approaches getting dressed like an art project and says, “Tomorrow is another day and an-other look.”

Cohen combs the city looking for elder style on the street. “It’s fun to hang out outside the Carlysle Hotel,” he said, which is where he snapped a photo of actress Elaine Stritch wear-ing one of her signature menswear-in-spired looks. “But I don’t spend too much time on the Upper East Side because a lot of the women there have had a lot of plastic surgery.”

“Advanced Style” is about em-bracing one’s age, not fighting it, he said. “In society, women are told to back down from fashion as they get older, and they become invisible. I got an email from one woman who said her grandkids were embarrassed by the way she dresses. She showed them my blog and they changed their minds.”

He has learned that there really is no such thing as age-appropriate dressing. The book features its fair share of traditional houndstooth suits, silk scarves and sensible shoes, but it also has women in artsy hats and col-orful turbans.

“Some women think fashion should be more proper, others don’t care at all. If someone is comfortable and confident, that’s what matters,” Cohen said. “I like to have a mix of

eccentric and elegant in the blog and book, because I’m attracted to both extremes.”

Cohen grew up in San Diego, where he spent many afternoons with his grandmothers, Bluma and Hel-en, watching old movies, trying on clothes and going through scrapbooks of photos showing people dressed to the nines.

After he finished school, he set his

sights on New York City with an eye toward meeting Mimi Weddell, the 93-year-old model, actress and hat en-thusiast, whom he had admired from afar after seeing the 2008 documen-tary film about her life, “Hats Off.”

He wrangled an invitation to tea. “She wouldn’t give me cookies, but she offered me brandy,” he remem-bers of his first meeting with the late Weddell, who was a health enthusiast.

“Everything she told me about life and style inspired me.”

Cohen began to notice other styl-ish older women on the streets of New York, “a wonderful city for older peo-ple to live in,” he says. And he asked to take their photographs.

Surprisingly, most were not of-fended. “I have never been shy to go up to people, but I did have to learn my approach. I tell them I’m photo-

graphing women 60 and above, and since most of them are 80 and above, they are flattered,” he said.

He started the blog as a response to what he saw as a lack of represen-tation of older people in the media. “Everything I found in my research poked fun,” he said, “which was dif-ferent from what my eyes were seeing on the street.”

Summer is here and it’s time to talk about bees, hornets and wasps. Being stung by any of these can be both painful and scary. Some people have serious or even life-threatening reactions requiring immediate treatment.

Most people who are stung will develop a local reaction of redness and swelling, while others will have a severe allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis.

A local reaction is basically sharp and/or burning pain, skin swelling and red-ness — this will resolve in a few hours. About 10 percent of people develop se-vere redness and swelling; this is called

a large local reaction, with the swell-ing being 4 to 10 inches. This type of reaction will resolve in five to 10 days. Having a large local reaction does not mean you will have anaphylaxis if you are stung again as this will occur only in about 5 percent of people. Individuals with large local reactions to stings need to talk to their doctor about what steps to take if stung again.

The treatment for local reactions is pointed toward reducing the pain and swelling, with the use of antihistamines, cold compresses and ibuprofen.

Anaphylaxis can occur the first time you are stung, and symptoms consist of hives, redness, swelling, and belly cramps along with nausea, vomit-ing or diar-rhea. A hoarse voice, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, light-headedness, dizziness, and passing out are also seri-ous and cause

for concern.Severe allergic

reactions are a medi-cal emergency that can lead to death if not treated quickly. Anyone who develops symptoms of anaphy-laxis needs to get to an emergency room as soon as possible and/or call 911. Do not drive yourself to the ER, as paramedics are very well versed in the treatment of anaphylaxis and can start treatment as soon as they arrive.

The first and foremost treatment for anaphylaxis is a shot of epineph-rine. Epinephrine is available by prescription called epi-pens or epinephrine autoinjectors. Several of my patients carry these pens, espe-cially if traveling or camping in remote areas.

If one of my patients has a severe reaction to a sting, I make a referral to an allergy specialist to run tests to see if they would benefit from allergy shots. I would recommend allergy shots, also known as venom immunotherapy, if you have had either anaphylaxis after being stung or allergy test-ing shows that you are allergic to our flying friends mentioned at the start of this article. Most experts recommend these shots indefinitely if you have had a near-death experience from a sting, a severe reaction to testing or you’re so fearful of another sting that you can’t enjoy the wonderful outdoors. Also, please seek emergency treatment even if you stop ana-phylaxis with an autoinjector

as the symptoms could come back.

For more detailed in-formation, of course, you should consult your primary care provider.

I always learn so much about various interest-ing things while I am out working on this column.

I often come across people who went to school with our “retired” pub-lisher A.L. (Butch) Alford and they always tell me something I didn’t know about him. On this particu-lar outing I learned that his cousin was the person who started KOZE radio.

I also learned that there used to be a Donut King where the Domino’s is on 18th Street in Lewiston. I learned that the building I sit in writing this column used to be a Buick dealer-ship and Ralph Otterstrom was the man who wired the building for its fi rst phone

system. Otterstrom spent 30 years with the phone company and wired many of the older buildings in town during that time. I was also told that Clarkston’s water system is more current and in better shape than Lewiston’s, according to Tom Lightfoot, who worked for Clarkston’s water system as a supervisor of the construction and maintenance department.

And I learned all this over a cup of coffee at Rosau-ers in the Lewiston Orchards. Otterstrom, Lightfoot and Bill McVicars, who worked in banking in the

Lewiston-Clarkston Valley, were just three of the many seniors having coffee at Snake River Coffee and Cafe inside the store. I understand why, too; The coffee was good and the company was even better.

Lightfoot told me about the recent Crankers Car Club tour that led them through Harvard, where they received diplomas. He joked about fl unking out of Princeton, which the club’s tour had gone through fi rst, so they had to get their degrees from Harvard.

Otterstrom told me a story about a friend of his putting an engine from a 1955 Lincoln into a 1953 Mercury and the two of them driving 90 mph in it on a toll bridge, something I’m sure would not be advisable today — or even then for that matter.

The conversation at the table included many topics, from water pressure and re-strictions in the Orchards to megaloads and debit cards, before the men had to go about their day.

Not being ready to head to the offi ce quite yet, I sat down to chat with Bill Larson of Genesee. He used to farm wheat in Colfax before he retired and turned the farm over to his son. We were soon joined by a friend of his who wished not to be named. This friend had a neat little contraption with him that he had made for Larson’s wife. He called it a fl y catcher and it was made out of a plastic jug that had a screw-top. He pierced the jug on two sides and threaded a plastic tube through the holes. The plastic tube had a hole in the middle of it big enough for fl ies and bees to get through. He told me that if you put a chunk of meat in the bottom of the jug with some water it will attract fl ies and become trapped. When the jug fi lls up you just pull out the tube, cover the holes and throw it in the garbage. I thought this was a pretty cool invention.

After learning about the fl y catcher, I

determined I should get to the offi ce and write my column before I forgot all I had learned that morning over coffee.

On the way to the offi ce, I was thinking how much the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley has changed since I arrived here on July 4, 1993. Then I thought, if I think the valley has changed a lot, I can’t imagine how much change my new friends, Larson, Otterstrom, Lightfoot and McVicars have witnessed. I do know one thing for sure, I like Domino’s but I sure wish the Donut King was still around — I miss having a good doughnut shop to go to.

He, with the help of others, have made and distributed more than 20,000 pocket crosses. Currently, he is unable to do much volunteer work because his wife is ill but has, to date, volunteered more than 7,300 hours.

Career: He grew up on a 400-acre ranch in California where he remained until 1950 when he joined the U.S. Navy and got married. After serving four years in the Navy, he returned to California and worked at the Los Angeles Union Stock Yards for a few years until they were closed. He then worked for a paper company and finally

went to work for the Downey (Calif.) Unified School District as a custo-dian, where he spent the rest of his work-ing days. He retired in 1992 and moved to Clarkston.

F a m i l y : Hemming is married to

Barbara Hemming and the couple have three other daughters in addition to the one who died in 1997.

Hobbies: He walks 3½ miles just about every day with the couple’s dog, Pepper, and enjoys reading and working in his yard.

When asked why he started volunteering, Hemming told the Tribune: “I guess to fill up my days, to begin with, because the days would drag by and I didn’t have that much to do. Although I had enough to do just to keep me busy, but I felt like there was something else I could be doing.”

When asked his favorite part of volunteering, Hemming replied: “I feel like I’m doing something to help, not just myself because I enjoy it, but a lot of other people that really need it.”

LOS ANGELES - Marty Ross trudged toward the front of the res-taurant, one deliberate pace at a time. A maze of tightly packed tables and chairs stood between him and the stage, demanding careful navigation from the 72-year-old. So when he fi-nally arrived at the microphone after several seconds of silence, the come-dian nicknamed “the wrinkled rebel” sounded relieved. And slightly out of breath.

He opened with a joke:“It’s a long walk from over there,”

Ross said, about 20 feet from his start-ing point.

More than 100 seniors in the audi-ence exploded in laughter, nodding in agreement. Some clutched walkers at their sides, others sat in wheelchairs. A few had bumped their heads on the way in the door. They all understood Ross’ joke.

For a few hours at Senior Com-edy Afternoon inside Don the Beach-comber in Huntington Beach, Calif., aging was funny.

“Just being old is a laugh,” said audience member and local resident Eileen Aaron-Sacherman, 84.

And laugh the elders did.They laughed at comedian Mel

Kohl, 55, who complained about voice-automated phone systems.

“The worst is 4-1-1,” he said. “They say, ‘Please say city and state.’ I say, ‘Downey, California,’ and she says, ‘Denver, Colorado’!”

They chuckled at Anita Cheek Mil-ner, 76, who bemoaned the indignities of shopping.

“I can go into an antique store and remember everything,” she said.

And they cracked up at Ross, who covered topics including memory loss, spoiled grandchildren and treacherous roadways.

“Anyone drive behind an old person recently?” he asked. “Lots of fun, isn’t it? I just want to say I’m sorry, I don’t know how this happened. I look down at my dashboard and I’m going 6. And I think, ‘I should slow down!’ ”

It’s comedy for seniors, by se-niors, and while the sun is still up. No profanity, no raunchy talk, just old-school, G-rated humor for people who say their brand of entertainment is in short supply these days.

“If it’s funny, it doesn’t have to be dirty,” said Charlie Motsko, 85. “Pro-fanity doesn’t improve real humor.”

Ronel Leonard, 71, adds another dimension to the disconnect some se-niors feel.

“Most comedians are talking about current events and young people,” Leonard said. “Most of it doesn’t have anything to do with me.”

Why the shift in values?“Comedy hasn’t changed a bit,”

Leonard conceded. “But we have.”So the jokesters did their best to

keep it clean and provide a few hours in which seniors could revel in old age rather than worry about its conse-quences.

The show rotates venues; the March program was hosted by Don the Beachcomber, a Hawaiian-themed restaurant that resembles a giant ver-sion of Disneyland’s Enchanted Tiki Room. Previous shows have been held at the Coach House in San Juan Cap-istrano and the Improv at the Irvine Spectrum.

For $38.50 a person, the seniors sipped iced tea and enjoyed a sim-ple meal of time-tested dishes like chopped salad, clam chowder, grilled salmon and two scoops of ice cream before the show began.

Giving seniors such an afternoon out was the goal for producer Bonnie Barchichat, 59. The Fountain Valley, Calif., woman got the idea after taking

her now 92-year-old mother to an improv show in Irvine, Calif.

“She just hated it,” Barchi-chat recalled. “The comedian was filthy and the humor just wasn’t getting to her. I was embarrassed for my mother. And it stuck with me.”

So after a stint working as a producer to help her niece, Barchichat decided to put on a show herself. Her first Se-nior Comedy Afternoon hit the stage in December 2010 in part as a service to older people like her mother. Her recent Mother’s Day show was the sixth of 12 her moth-er has attended.

But catering to this age group isn’t easy. Barchichat said some businesses “don’t believe in the senior market-place” and won’t open up venues for senior-targeted events. Then there’s the problem of finding age-appropri-ate talent.

“Seniors are not going to laugh at anything that isn’t really funny,” she said. “They’re not drunk. It’s going to have to be something you will be able to relate to. You really need to be able to reach into your gut and make them laugh.”

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — That kindly gent with the rose garden, the cute little old lady in the deli line, the mahjong master at the community center — anyone could be among a growing portion of our aging popula-tion: the senior stoner.

In retiree-rich South Florida, some golden-agers are — gasp! — sporting illegal smiles as they discreetly puff on joints to ease the aches and pains of advancing years.

“It’s like taking a magic pill,” said a 70-year-old Boca Raton, Fla., woman who smokes pot almost daily to coun-teract cancer chemotherapy pain. “I can have a crappy, crappy day and I take one toke and in less than three minutes I’m leveled out and feel won-derful.”

Such scofflaws opt to flout conven-tion rather than suffer. And their num-bers are hardly insubstantial: 30 per-cent of Americans 50 and older have tried pot, according to a 2009 govern-ment survey.

Last year, the National Survey on

Drug Use and Health estimated that drug use among seniors has increased more than 3 percent during the past eight years. The number is expected to triple by 2020.

One recent convert was a 70-year-old Delray Beach, Fla., woman who calls herself Mary. “I’m a good, Cath-olic churchgoing person,” she said. “I’ve never taken a drug in my life.”

But when a friend with an out-of-state prescription for medical marijua-na offered a joint to alleviate the “ex-cruciating” pain of a shoulder injury, Mary took a chance.

“I had one hit and I went, ‘Oh, dear God, this is awesome,’ ” she said. “It made me feel that much better. It ab-solutely should be legalized.”

For years, a 65-year-old Pompano Beach, Fla., retiree tried every manner of drug from Dilaudid to morphine to battle pain from damaged bones, arthritis and fibromyalgia. “I’ve been on all the hard drugs and nothing hap-pens,” he said. Then he sampled a little reefer.

“I’ll tell you, the first hit there was Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah day,” he said. “The only thing that helps is happy grass.”
