Mcclatchy-tribune news service

Q: I found out that my son sub-mitted incorrect information about

my resources when he completed my Application for Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs. How can I get my applica-tion changed now to show the cor-rect amount?

A: You can call (800) 772-1213 and let us know. Or you can visit your local Social Security office (find it by using our office locator at www.socialsecurity.gov/loca-tor). Information on your appli-cation will be matched with data from other federal agencies. If

there is a discrepancy that requires verification, we will contact you.

———Q: Why doesn’t my estimate

using the Retirement Estimator take into account my work as a teacher? I’ve worked for 20 years for the state and thought it would count.

A: If you work for a state or local government agency — including a school system, college or university — your earnings may not be cov-ered by Social Security. If you are covered only by your state or local pension plan and you don’t pay So-cial Security taxes, your earnings won’t be shown on your Social Security record. (Your record will show your Medicare wages if you pay into that program.)

For information on how your pension from noncovered state or local employment may affect the amount of your Social Security benefit, you can visit www.socialse-curity.gov/retire2/wep-chart.htm.

By Mary TaTkoOf TargeT PublicaTiOns

When the schwan’s man learns it’s your 70th wedding anniversary and insists you choose a complimentary carton of ice cream, is the gesture an anomaly or just one more example of the many little kindnesses that, taken together, make life enjoyable?

for Herb and bette Tilton, it’s definitely the latter.On the day of their platinum anniversary, the Tiltons

sat in their clarkston home reminiscing about the life they’ve shared.

“We were college sweethearts,” she said, explaining they met at rocky Mountain college in billings, Mont., and were married april 19, 1942, in her hometown of lewistown, Mont., a month before Herb was drafted.

as they recounted their history, a knock at the door revealed the frozen-food delivery man and his sweet offer.

“There are a lot of nice people in the world, aren’t there?” Herb asked after the man left. “People auto-matically are nice, i think. i think those that aren’t, that’s not natural. i don’t think anybody was really born mean.”

Herb, 94, and bette, 92, have been involved with numerous organiza-tions in the lewiston-clarkston

Valley since moving to clarkston in 1966, including the Pautler senior center, of which Herb is a founding member.

“The monsignor (who founded the center) lived next door to us,” Herb said. “He said i needed to do something for the community.”

so Herb, who was retired from a career with Western farm service, took on the role of fundraiser, approaching individuals and businesses in the community.

“it took just three years to build it,” he said.

Herb was president of the center for two years, and, until his failing eyesight made it too difficult, he and bette had lunch there on a regular basis. she still goes once a week to

play bridge.The volunteers who built the

center have, for the most part, ceded it to subsequent genera-tions. “Most of them are gone now,” bette said.

The center had 600 members at its peak, Herb said. now the number is closer to 200. Other groups, such as the elks — where Herb is a lifetime member — also have adapted to smaller memberships through the years, he explained.

“Times sure have changed,” bette said. “People aren’t joiners anymore, i guess.”

Plenty has changed for the Tiltons since they were married during World War ii. as newlyweds, they experienced separation when Herb’s assignments in the u.s. army took him overseas; as nonagenarians, they face different challenges, such as adjusting to the limitations brought on by age. What hasn’t changed are their united front and positive attitudes.

When they got married, they knew it was only a matter of time before Herb would be called up. He served four years — first stateside, then in the Philippines and new guinea — and was discharged as a captain.

“i was able to follow him when he was in the states, which was really nice,” bette said

of the two years they lived in Texas and louisiana.she returned to Montana, where her parents lived, to

teach school while he was overseas.The Tiltons have two daughters, the first of whom

was born while Herb was in new guinea; she was 14 months old when he met her.

When his time in the service was up, Herb and bette found jobs in enterprise, Ore., where they taught for three years. Then they operated a hardware store near spokane for several years until moving to clarkston, to the same home they live in today.

“i think it’s a beautiful place to live,” he said of the valley. “i just think we have an ideal place.”

“The weather is perfect,” she said.The Tiltons’ daughter cyndi lives in clarkston and

visits them daily. Their other daughter, andrea, is in Virginia, and their three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren are far-flung as well. later this month, many of their family members will travel to clarkston to join them for an anniversary celebration.

after they retired (bette was office manager for the clarkston school District for 16 years), Herb and bette explored the country in an rV, enjoying adventures

College sweethearts enjoy platinum anniversary70 years are a lot to remember, epecially when you’re in your 90s, but for this couple the memories are cherished days spent with family and friends

such as snowmobiling in Yellowstone Park where, Herb recalled, it was 55 degrees below zero. They always had enjoyed traveling.

“We took the girls to Mexico when they were in grade school,” he said.

“� ose days, they didn’t mind if you took children out of school,” she added.

In retirement, they traveled more extensively, venturing to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tahiti. � ey also visited the Scandinavian countries, where their ancestors are from.

Herb lost his sight eight years ago, and though they both remain active, world travel for them is a thing of the past, and even simple outings into the community take planning and patience.

Blindness hasn’t cut him off from the world, though. Listening to books on tape, for example, has deepened Herb’s knowledge and appreciation for subjects in which he had always been interested. World War II stories from the Pacifi c, information about places he and Bette have visited, and the writings of � eodore Roosevelt and Ernest Heming-way are among his favorites.

� ough he was a reader be-fore he lost his sight, he’s found listening an even better way to learn. “You retain it then,” he said. “You can’t imagine how much I’ve learned in the past eight years when I’ve had to listen instead of talk.”

He’s also able to “read” other materials, such as news-paper articles, using a machine he acquired through the Veterans Administration that converts print into audio.

While the machine allows him independence, Herb knows he’s fortunate to have other options — mainly in the form of Bette, with whom he reads the newspaper each day. “We get a kick out of doing word puzzles in the morning,” he said.

“We’re very fortunate that both of us are still living,” she said. “So many of our friends have lost their wives or husbands.”

Having been together 70 years is one blessing; remaining in their own home well into their 90s is another.

“We have about four (caretakers) that come,” Bette said. “That’s how we’re able to stay in our house and not

a facility.”� ey share their home with three rescue

cats, strays they adopted and had spayed and vaccinated.

“We’ve always had cats,” Bette said.“Hobo” likes to ride on Bette’s walker.

“Himmy” is part Himalayan, with long fur. “Socks” isn’t quite as personable as the oth-ers. “We caught her one day, and she’s hated us ever since,” Herb said, laughing.

� e Tiltons attribute much of their ability to continue to function in their own home

to help from the VA, which has paid for projects such as a bathroom remodel that replaced a tub with a shower Herb can access independently.

And in a time when medical expenses can be crippling, his benefi ts help make his care aff ordable: “All my prescrip-tions are coming from the VA, so they’ve been very good to me,” he said.

While he enjoys word puzzles and books on tape, Herb doesn’t limit himself to mental exercises. He is a regular at Twin River Physical � erapy in Clarkston, where he rides a stationary bike and does arm exercises. “It is good for me,” he said. “I try to do it once or twice a week.”

� ough they can’t say age hasn’t slowed them down, nei-ther has it defeated them. As they continued to reminisce about their marriage, careers, family and travel, the Tiltons had another knock at the door: � e mail carrier had left a package marked “Cabela’s,” which Bette said contained a new pair of shoes.

“I miss shopping,” she said, placing the box on the couch beside her. “I used to love shop-ping.”

“But she does real well that way,” Herb said, referring to the mail-order catalogs that have replaced in-store browsing.

It’s one example of an adjust-ment they’ve made as they’ve coped with aging.

“Our social life, we’ve decided, is going to the doctor,” she said, laughing.

As for their landmark anniversary, they insisted there is no secret to having a happy marriage last 70 years.

“We like each other,” he said. A sense of humor and a belief in the basic goodness of others probably help, too.

“It’s been a wonderful life,” he said.

Quality Care For Your Loved OneA Member of Addus HealthCare Inc.


As summer approaches, many people take the opportunity to en-joy some fun in the sun. While the sun does have benefits, such as vi-tamin D production, it also can in-crease your risk for skin damage.

The sun gives off invisible rays of energy known as ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Individuals with a fair complexion or a weakened immune system may have an in-creased risk of skin cancer, as do

people with a family history of un-usual moles or those with several large or small moles.

Early recognition and treatment of skin cancer is important. It is wise to keep a close eye on your skin. You can check your skin fol-lowing a simple ABCDE check-list:

A — is for asymmetry. Normal moles are symmetrical.

B — is for border. A mole that is jagged around the edges has a higher risk.

C — is for color. Normal moles are one color, any mole with more than one color should be checked by your doctor.

D — is for diameter. Any mole larger than a pencil eraser should be checked as well.

E — is for elevation. Any mole raised above the surface has high-er risk.

Checking your skin on a monthly basis increases your chance of picking up on these im-portant changes so you can seek a doctor’s evaluation. Regular skin check-ups with a doctor are also important for people at high risk for skin cancer or for individuals

who have been previously diag-nosed with skin cancer.

MOSCOW — The subject for this month’s column was kismet. When I went about choosing a location to vis-it, I decided it was time to venture out-side of the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley to see what seniors in other parts of the region were talking about.

My first thought was to check out the Friendly Neighbors website and see what type of things were going on at the Moscow senior center. I found that the center offers computer help Mondays and Wednesdays, facilitated by volunteer Kay Keskinen. Know-ing computer use is a big subject with seniors today, I decided this would be great material for a column so I called Keskinen to ask if I could come sit in, a request she kindly accepted.

A week later I received an email from Adrienne Bennett at the WA-ID Volunteer Center nominating Keski-nen for “Volunteer of the Month.” So I was able to spend a sunny Monday in Moscow and “kill two birds with one stone,” as it were.

The center offers computer assis-tance from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mon-days and 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Wednes-days. The center has four desktop

computers and a laptop, but some se-niors such as Becky MacLeod, a reg-ular at the Monday computer class, bring along their personal laptops to use. Keskinen said the number of se-niors taking advantage of the assistance varies from day to day, and on this day MacLeod was Keskinen’s sole stu-dent. She uses Skype to stay in touch with her daughter in Chicago and her son in Minne-sota, and Keskinen as-sists her in making the connection. MacLeod suffered a brain injury some years back and has some cognitive trouble, so she comes to the center each week and Keskinen assists her with emails, Skype, and just learning how to do different things on the computer.

“I was in a car ac-cident so I had to retire and go on disability. I was in education for 25 years,” explained MacLeod. She said her daughter just finished law school and is busy so she enjoys being able to see her using Skype.

I sat next to MacLeod while she visited with her daughter, who com-

mented on the new shirt her mom was wearing and her haircut. The conversation was more like one they might have sitting around a table catching up, not like one they would

have had on the phone a few years ago, before Skype. Now they can see one another and not just hear each other. MacLeod’s daughter is able to keep up with her activities through email and Skype. She asks about her mother’s daily piano students and what she has been doing. She knows her mom sits at the same table each Monday, be-cause she sees the same background. They talk about what MacLeod will plant in her garden as well as other topics. During the conversa-tion MacLeod’s daugh-ter does little things like winking, that her mother would never

know about if not for Skype, which MacLeod comments on. It is a re-markable way for these ladies to stay in touch.

The center has wireless capabili-ties for those who wish to do as Ma-

cLeod does and bring their laptops from home.

Helen, who was working on a jig-saw puzzle during my visit, moved to Moscow from Massachusetts and was looking for a way to get acquainted with others in the community when

We Work for You,Right Here in the Valley


Kay KeskinenKay Keskinen, 63, of Moscow, is the May

Senior Volunteer of the Month for the WA-ID Volunteer Center.

Volunteer work: She volunteers at Friendly Neighbors in Moscow doing the newsletter, giving computer help to seniors, helping with the meal site and serving as treasurer on the Friendly Neighbors board. Keskinen manages the website for six different groups, volunteers as a mediator at the Latah County Courthouse, coordinates the North Idaho Senior Games Horseshoe event and teaches classes for the Moscow Parks and Recreation Department in conflict resolution. She also takes and posts photos of gravesites on findagrave.com for those looking for a relative’s grave. In 2011, Keskinen was pre-sented with the “President’s Call to Service Award” for having logged more than 4,000 hours of volunteer time for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. To date, she has logged more than 5,500 hours of volunteer time. Not only does she volun-teer regularly, she is a frequent blood donor.

Career: Keskinen took a job at the University of Idaho in the Information Technology Department, after finishing grad school. She worked at the university in different aspects of IT as well as occassionally teaching classes for 31 years and retired in 2003.

Hobbies: Keskinen enjoys mysteries, baseball — especially the New York Yankees — and horseshoes. She is the Idaho State Horseshoe Pitchers Association women’s singles champion.

She told the Tribune her family was always giving of their time and that was something she wanted to carry on.

“I retired in 2003, and then I did nothing for three months. I stayed home, watched TV and ate bon bons to see how I could fill my days, and after three months I decided it was time to do something.”

When asked her favorite part of volunteering, Keskinen replied: “Learning something from the people I help. I’ve learned another way of doing a double click on a PC, I’ve learned about aging, and more.”

Volunteer opportunities

she came to the center for help with her computer.

“The computer help was a gate-way for me, because the first time I ever came to the center was for help with something, and now I volunteer here three days a week,” she said. Re-cently Helen got a new Apple laptop

and, having only used a PC in the past, needed Keskinen’s help to get familar with the new system.

With such a gap in the amount of technology different generations are accustomed to, communicating with younger family member has become more difficult for seniors. Most indi-viduals between the ages of 40 and 60 are using cellphones with ease, are on Facebook and Twitter, talk to loved ones across the country via Skype and email with regularity. Those younger than 40 seem to spend most of their time communicating through text

messages, Facebook and Skype. But a number of seniors have very little to do with computers, creating a hole in family communications. A pro-gram like the one at Friendly Neigh-bors provides older individuals who don’t have a computer, or who are not well-versed in using a computer, an opportunity to get some assistance and bridge the communication gap between grandpa and grandson.

hayden can be contacted at [email protected] or (208) 848-2243.

Prevention of skin damage is the best way to protect yourself from skin cancer. It is important to protect your skin from UV ra-diation year-round. Seek shade during midday hours. Remember to wear clothes that protect your skin from sunlight and wear a

wide-brimmed hat outdoors. Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day and reapply your sunscreen every two hours while outdoors, more often when sweat-ing or getting in the water.

With summer coming, now is a good time to take the time to re-member your skin.
