Q: Is there a time limit on how long I can collect Social Security disability benefits?

A: Your disability benefits will continue as long as your medical condition has not improved and you remain unable to work. Your case will be reviewed at regular intervals to make sure you are still disabled. If you still are receiving disability benefits when you reach full retirement age, we will automati-cally convert them to retirement benefits. See www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10153.html#6 for more information on disability.

Q: My mom is interested in getting help with her Medicare Part D prescription costs, but she has about $10,000 in the bank. Would she still be eligible?

A: Based solely on the bank account bal-ance you mention, yes. However, there are other factors to consider as well, including your mom’s income. If your mother has other resources, they may be included too. This year a person’s total resources are, in most cases, limited to $13,070 (or $26,120 if married and living with spouse) to qualify for Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs. The resource limits shown on the application in-clude a $1,500 per person exclusion for burial purposes. Resources include the value of the things you own, such as real estate (other than the place you live), cash, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, and retirement accounts like IRAs or 401ks. There are exceptions, though. Read more about how to qualify and apply for the Extra Help at www.socialsecurity.gov/pre scriptionhelp/index.htm

———Q: My mother receives Supplemental

Security Income (SSI) benefits. She may have

to enter a nursing home later this year. How does this affect her SSI benefits?

A: Moving to a nursing home can affect your mother’s SSI benefits, but it depends on the type of facility. In some cases, the SSI payment may be reduced or stopped. When-ever your mother enters or leaves a nursing home, assisted living facility, hospital, skilled nursing facility, or any other kind of institu-tion, it is important that you tell Social Secu-rity. Call Social Security’s toll-free number, (800) 772-1213 (TTY [800] 325-0778). We can answer specific questions from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday-Friday. We also provide information by automated phone service 24 hours a day.

This column was prepared by the Social Security Administration. For fast answers to specific Social Security questions, con-tact Social Security toll free at (800) 772-1213.

By Mary TaTkoOf TargeT PublicaTiOns

Clete Scharnhorst, 88, doesn’t look like your typi-cal pedicure customer, but on a recent Wednesday at Clarkston’s Pautler Senior Center he made no objec-tions to a foot soak, toenail trim and lotion rub.

He and his wife, Mary Lou, 87, weren’t there for beauty treatments; they are participants in Aging and Long Term Care’s foot-clinic program that offers care to Asotin County residents ages 60 and older.

Reta Newman, an information specialist at ALTC in Clarkston, said foot care isn’t a luxury. For people with diabetes, for example, filing back callouses helps keep feet functioning.

“There’ve been a lot of doctors that have been refer-ring (patients) to us,” she said.

Sheila Brogdon, ALTC of Southeast Washington as-sistant director, in Yakima, said demand for the service is high.

“It’s a very popular program, I tell you that,” Brogdon said. “And the program just continues to grow, although the funding hasn’t.”

ALTC program coordinator Eliticia Sanchez, also based in Yakima, said she’s not sure of the program’s age, but knows it’s been operating in Asotin County at least since she started with the agency in 1997.

Though a volunteer at the Clarkson ALTC office, Gena Kurth, manages files and sends out reminder postcards, the local program is administered through ALTC’s Yakima office, which oversees an eight-county area of southeastern Washington, including Asotin County.

Edith Haber is one of two registered nurses who pro-vide the foot-care service in Clarkston. She and Marcia Jacobs offer Monday and Wednesday appointments, made through the ALTC office in Clarkston.

“Reta (Newman) takes care of that for us,” Haber said. “And boy is that ever a big help.”

Haber buys supplies, such as lotions and creams, and submits the bill for reimbursement. The Pautler Senior Center allows the foot-care program use of a room for appointments and supply storage, free of charge.

The foot-clinic nurses are paid through donations first, then with state and federal funds from the Senior Citizens Services Act and Older Americans Act, respec-tively.

“The charge is strictly donations,” Haber said. “We do not charge.”

“Nothing less than a 50 dollar bill,” Clete Scharn-horst said, laughing.

He and Mary Lou, who live in Clarkston, have been foot-clinic clients for more than a year.

“I don’t think a lot of people know about it,” she said.

“They do a wonderful job,” Clete Scharnhorst said, as Haber finished trimming his nails and began apply-ing callus cream to his toes.

As she applies lotion, Haber explained, she inspects the client’s feet and ankles for damaged skin, swell-ing – any sign of injury or disease. She takes the pedal pulse, felt on the top of the foot, to make sure circula-tion to the lower extremities is adequate.

She makes a note if there’s something she wants to check again at the next appointment, which is usually six weeks to two months away, “depending on how fast their nails grow.” If the concern is more immediate, she’ll refer the client to a doctor.

Haber estimates the clinic serves about 200 clients. “There’s just so many reasons why people can’t get down to their feet,” she said.

Newman said in two satisfaction surveys conducted during the past six years, ALTC clients have always been appreciative of the foot-care service. “They don’t want it to go away,” she said.

Haber advises people call their legislators to ask them to preserve Senior Citizens Act funding.

In addition to foot care, ALTC’s programs include nutrition, case management, transportation and respite care.

“We have to lobby every year in Olympia to try to get funding for these programs,” said Haber, who sits on ALTC’s advisory council.

When Nez Perce County residents inquire about the

foot-care service, the ALTC staff refers them to private providers in Lewiston.

“With funding constraints, we’ve had to restrict it to Asotin County (residents),” Newman said.

One of the foot-care options for those in Nez Perce County is Happy Feet Toenail Trimming, operated by Sandie Haddox, a retired licensed practical nurse of 40 years, who charges $15 per appointment.

Jody Alkire, a Lewiston cosmetologist, is the other foot-care provider to whom ALTC currently makes referrals. Alkire said her services start at $35 and vary according to the condition of the client’s feet.

Throughout her career, one of Haddox’s duties as a nurse was to clip toenails; eventually she began of-fering the service once a month at area assisted-living centers.

After retiring about eight years ago, she started the Happy Feet business out of her Lewiston Orchards home. “I decided, well, I’m sitting here twiddling my thumbs, getting fatter,” she said.

Now she sees clients at her home and has an em-ployee who goes into other people’s homes to provide in-home care.

Her services are similar to those at the ALTC foot clinic: soaking feet, clipping and filing toenails, and “I give them a little foot rub – that’s what makes ‘happy feet.’ ”

Like the nurses at ALTC’s clinic, she’s always on the lookout for red flags indicating possible health issues.

When a pedicure becomes more than pamperingFor seniors, receiving foot care from a registered nurse may look like pampering, but it is more about health management

Tribune/Steve Hanks

Edith Haber’s tool kit includes a wide varity of tools used during foot-care clinics offered twice a week at the Pautler Senior Center in Clarkston.


Tribune/Steve Hanks

Edith Haber uses a rotary file to clean up some rough spots on a client’s foot during a recent foot-care clinic at the Pautler Senior

Center in Clarkston. Haber is a registered nurse employed by Aging and Long Term Care of Southeast Washington.

“That’s one of the reasons I soak their feet,” Haddox said. “In the process of drying their foot off, I’m looking to see if there’s anything that needs a doctor’s attention.”

When she sees something concerning, she calls it to the client’s or caregiver’s attention.

Haddox sees most of her clients about once a month. An ap-pointment with a new client usually takes about half an hour; returning customers are in and out in 15 to 20 minutes.

Providing affordable care was her motivation for starting Happy Feet, she said.

“Most of them (her clients) are on fixed incomes. If you’re only getting $600 a month, $60 is a lot just to have someone clip your toenails,” she said. “It’s more of a service than a business.”

Changes in ALTC staffAging and Long Term Care’s Clarkston office has a new

local program coordinator.Sherry Greenup, a former case manager for ALTC, started

June 1. She succeeds Jane Clear, who retired April 30 after 17 years at ALTC.

“It’s a shock when the time comes to lose someone who’s been there that long,” ALTC information specialist Reta New-man said of Clear’s retirement. “Sherry was a good fit because she already knows the personality of the office and the area. We’re grateful to have her.”

“It’s a very popular program, I tell you that,” — Sheila Brogdon, ATLC of Southeastern Washington assistant director, Yakima. “And the program just continues to grow, although funding hasn’t.”

READER POETRYThe Wandering DogI watched a dog trot down the road, no special place

to go.Stopped to check a garbage

can, the lid would not let go.

Chased a cat into its yard, outran a rock that was

thrown.Stopped to drink in a

puddle left by last night’s rain.

Trotted for another block or two, the trip was not in

vain.A lady gave him some dog-gie treats, kindly said “Go

home!”After giving her hand a lick

to thank her I’m sure.He came up the street to

stop again at the house next door.

Folks who lived there came out and said, “Beau, you just have to stay home.

You’re going to get in trou-ble when you take off down the road. You will run into the dog catcher, I’ll have to

pay to bring you home.”-Eva Herring, 82, Lewiston

My Two BrothersI loved them for their lov-

ing ways.The ways that many did not

know.

My hand would salute and my heart pound when our nation honored them with

their bays.I loved them for their lov-

ing ways.The looks that skipped to

meet my eye.They always ready sympa-thy; the generous giving of

their praise.I loved them for their lov-

ing ways.The made for many “no

reason” holidays and for all who passed their way, the

oldest or the youngest ones.I loved them for their lov-

ing ways.And just because I loved

them so and have lost them — This I know.

I will miss them always — All my days.

Irene Ziegler, 85, Grangeville

Uncle CarlFiddle me up a tune old

friend and brighten up my day.

Hours that pass, turn into years and we’re left along

the way.Fiddle that tune that I loved

so well, in the hush of an

evening still.While I dream my dreams

of times passed, when I made time to kill.

Take me again to that little log home where I romped

and played as a kid.And thought of the things I was going to do, the things

that I never did.Play me again those heart warming notes that hope-

fully time will repay.Fiddle me up a tune old

friend and brighten up my day.

Priceless GoldMy east window is ablaze

this early morning;Fiery color rays every cor-

ner adorning.Golden streams of light are blinding to my vision, Dark glasses are a must, a hur-

ried decision.Summer seems to clamor

for gold vacation plan,Wide straw hat inspires quest for sluicing pan.

Off to find the advertised opportunity!

Gold nuggets show up at nearby community!

After a long day of hunting and cold wading,

I return to darkened room where sun is no more.

No gold in my pocket, no glittering ore.

Maybe morning of bright sunrise at golden dawn,

Is my reward, full of warmth and zest to go on.

Welcome to sum-mer, everyone! This is an excellent time to be aware of heat-related illness.

Heat-related illness includes heat syncope,

heat exhaustion and the more severe condition known as heat stroke.

Heat syncope is fainting due to overheating. Heat exhaustion is a precursor to heat stroke, which is a potentially life-threatening condition. It is important to recognize the onset of heat exhaustion in order to prevent progression to heat stroke and so you can quickly get back to having a great time outside.

Heat-related illness is in-creased in higher humidity and when exerting oneself in high temperatures. Wearing loose, light clothing with breathable fabrics allows for perspiration and evaporation that can cool the body. Sweating is only truly effective when evapora-tion can occur, which makes humidity especially dangerous. Well-vented, wide-brimmed hats are helpful. Strenuous ex-ercise during the heat of the day should be avoided, and if you must exert yourself, stop frequently for hydration and to cool the skin with water.

Caffeine and alcohol should also be avoided in high tem-peratures. Ample fluids are a must. Thirst is not as reliable a sign of adequate hydration as urine, which should remain clear to pale yellow. Although water is an excellent choice, fluid losses deplete the body of salt and result in serious illness. If sweating profusely, add in sports drinks or foods that contain some salt.

Temperatures inside automo-biles can reach as high as 200 degrees, and it is dangerous to ever leave children, pets, the elderly or anyone who is dis-

abled in a vehicle in hot weather.Symptoms of heat exhaustion are heavy sweating,

faintness, dizziness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, cool moist skin with goose bumps, pale or flushed skin, nausea and headache. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should stop activity; move to a cool, shad-ed area; loosen clothing; consume fluids and cool the skin with water. Fans aid in evaporation and improve cooling.

Heatstroke is the most severe heat-related illness and occurs when heat stress overwhelms the body’s ability to maintain normal temperature. Signs of heat-stroke are a temperature of more than 104 degrees; hot, dry skin; rapid heartbeat; rapid, shallow breath-ing; cessation of sweating; irritability; nausea; head-ache; confusion or loss of consciousness.

Anyone showing these symptoms should be im-mediately moved out of the heat, covered with damp

cloths or sprayed with cool water, and fanned. Drink-ing water should be encouraged and 911 should be contacted immediately.

Have a safe summer and be cool!

The modern violin has been around for roughly 500 years. It was designed in the 1500s, some say by Andrea Amati, an Italian lute maker.

This is my seventh Senior Talk column and I have to say no other be-fore it was more tiring or inspiring.

The 2012 North Idaho Senior Games were held

in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley during the third week

of June, bringing with it seniors ages 50 and older from all over the Pacific Northwest to participate. There were 14 events for these seniors to compete in during the week and medals were awarded by age group.

The WA-ID Volunteer Center over-sees this annual event with the help of many volunteers from throughout the community.

During the week I was able to break away from the office to attend three of the events and, to be honest, I’m not sure I would have had the energy for many more.

The first event I attended was a tennis match Wednesday morning at the Lewis-Clark State College Tennis Center where I watched two men in their seventies outplay two women in their fifties.

My first thought when I saw Bill Prouty and Ernie Vollmer, both of Spokane, matched up against Diane Palmer and Mary Jane Neill, both of

Pullman, was that it just didn’t seem fair to put these two older fellas who didn’t seem to move very fast on the court with these two very fit and spry women. I was certain that defeat was in the guys’ future. Much to my shock though, that is not at all the way it went down. Prouty and Vollmer move much quicker when they are faced with flying tennis balls coming at them. And their reac-tion time is much faster when they hold a tennis racket in their hands. As it turned out, the men defeated the women 6-3, 6-2.

The ladies revived themselves later in the day with Neill win-

ning a singles match 6-4, 6-1; and Palmer winning a singles match 6-0, 6-3. The ladies were pitted against each other at the end of the day’s matches, resulting in Neill obtaining an injury and Palmer winning by default. Vollmer and Prouty played two more doubles matches, winning one of the matches and losing the other.

I must interject here that I always believed watching tennis was relatively low impact, but my opinion changed after watch-ing just the one match. When I left the tennis center I really just wanted to go home and nap, but instead I was on to my next appointment.

When I arrived at Lancer Lanes in Clarkston I was very thank-ful that bowling was an indoor sport as it was hot outside and I imagined the air conditioning in the building would help energize me — Wrong!

Oh, the air conditioning was great, but watching eight teams of bowlers roll those heavy balls down those long lanes was more activity than I ever be-lieved it could be. These individuals who do these, well let’s just say it — extreme sports — are amaz-ing. Yes, I know tennis and bowling are not what most consider extreme sports but when you’re do-ing them so actively at an age when a fall can be debilitating, that, to me, is extreme.

Heck, I don’t have the energy in my fourties to watch them do it for very long, and to think there were people twice my age competing is astonish-ing to me.

At the bowling alley, I didn’t get the opportunity to speak with any of the competitors, but I did write down their names and the team scores. I don’t know how old any of them were, but at any age there were some real standouts it seemed to me. A guy by the name of Skip Olson, who out-bowled all the others at the lanes that day, must have been bowling all his life. And I don’t know a lot about bowling, I con-fess, but the fact that Sha-ron Boyer was able to pick up two 3-10

splits amazed me. It sure didn’t look possible but she did it with ease. I only managed to catch two of the three games these teams bowled before I had to go home and take a nap, so I can’t be sure there weren’t other standout moments, but all the bowlers have my admiration.

The third event I was able to catch was the Idaho Veterans Home “Walk & Roll,” which was held Thursday afternoon. It was nice to see so many volunteers show up to help with this one, but the best part of the event was that each lap the veterans did earned them an ice cream cone, and on this hot day it was a

It’s exhausting watching seniors play sports

Bob BryantBob Bryant, 83, of Lew-

iston, is the July Senior Volunteer of the Month for the WA-ID Volunteer Center.

Volunteer work: He has volunteered his time for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program since 2005, but has been volunteering throughout the community for at least 25 years. His time given through RSVP has been divided between Twin County United Way, the Court Appointed Special Advocate for children program and the Lewis-Clark State College Center for Arts & History. He has also served as a public transportation ambassador, been responsible for the Lewiston Police De-partment’s radar trailer placement, worked in the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen, been an usher at the Lewiston Civic Theatre, is a reading mentor for the America Reads program at McSorley El-ementary, previously taught AARP Drivers’ Safety classes, and volunteers at the Community Action Partnership. His favorite, Bryant said, has been reading with the kids.

Career: Bryant worked as a veterinarian before retiring in 1996. He received his degree from Colorado State University at Fort Collins, followed by working for the U.S. Department of Agri-culture. He then became a partner at MacIntosh Veterinary Clinic in north Lewiston and used his knowledge to be personal vet to Ahmed the Shriners’ camel for many years. He said he is one of the few camel vets in the state of Idaho, but admits much of his knowledge came from asking a few zoo vets for advice.

Family: He was born and grew up in southern Iowa, until his family moved to Boulder, Colo., when he was a junior in high school. His wife died in the late 1990s. He has five children, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Hobbies: He is active at Or-chards Community Church, where he has held many posi-tions through the years. He en-joys hunting, fishing and travel-ing.

Bryant told the Tribune:“I thought, well the communi-

ty supported me over the years, so I wanted to give back some of my time. But it can snowball on ya! But I try to force myself not to stay at home too much.”

When asked his favorite part of volunteering, He replied “Just the satisfaction of paying back, ya know, to the community that really supported me over the years.”

well-deserved treat.This was my first experience watch-ing the senior games and I have to say it inspired me to be more active.

I would love to be as energetic as some of these fine athletes now, let alone in a few years when I am their age. But I know in order for that to happen I need to get started now — or right after my nap.

Music training can improve aging process

By Harry Jackson Jr.Of the St. LOuiS POSt-DiSPatch

EVANSTON, Ill. — Music training has a lifelong impact on the aging process, according to a new study out of Northwestern University.

Researchers in the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at North-western measured the automatic brain responses musicians of all ages and non-musicians to speech sounds. Researchers discovered that older musicians had a dis-tinct neural timing advantage. Re-searchers concluded that age-relat-ed delays in neural timing are not inevitable and can be offset with musical training.

The data, with recent animal data from other research centers suggests intensive training even late in life could improve speech processing in older adults and improve their ability to commu-nicate in complex, noisy acoustic environments, said Don Caspary, a researcher on age-related hearing loss at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.

Th is is what Richard G. Alexander, Sr. has to say about Miracle Ear...

I have been wearing hearing aids for over twenty fi ve years and have been to numerous specialists in this regard.

Miracle Ear and specifi cally, Mark Banks has been the best that I have been to in all this time.

Being border-line legally deaf, it has been a real task to fi nd a devise that works for me. However, Mark has been tenacious in the pursuit of a solution to my problem. Because of his professionalism, patience, and knowledge of his craft, we have reached that goal.

I have recommended Miracle Ear, and specifi cally Mark Banks to several of my friends who have hearing problems, and I know that they will be as satisfi ed as I am with the results.
