Thought for the month

“I’m beginning to understand myself. But it would have been great to be able to understand myself when I was 20 rather than when I was 82.”

— Dave Brubeck

WHO AM I?My birthday is Oct. 1, 1935.I portrayed a nanny in two fi lms, and most recently

I’ve lent my voice to characters in animated fi lms such as Despicable Me and three of the Shrek movies.

In 1969, I married Blake Edwards.Answer on Page 4

Mcclatchy-tribune news service

Q: My neighbor, who is retired, told me that the income he receives from his part-time job at the local nursery gives him an increase in his Social Security benefits. Is that right?

A: Retirees who return to work after they start receiving benefits may be able to receive a higher ben-efit based on those earnings. This is because Social Security automati-cally re-computes the retirement benefit after crediting the additional earnings to the individual’s earnings record.

Learn more by reading the pub-lication, How Work Affects Your Benefits, at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10069.html.

———Q: I plan to retire soon.

When are Social Security benefits paid?

A: Social Security benefits are paid each month. Gener-ally, new retirees receive their benefits on either the second, third or fourth Wednesday of each month, depending on the day in the month the retiree was born. If you receive benefits as a spouse, your benefit payment date will be determined by your spouse’s birth date.

Here’s a chart showing how your monthly payment date is deter-mined.

Day of the month you were born — Social Security benefits paid onl 1st-10th — Second Wednesday.l 11th-20th — Third Wednesday.l 21st-31st — Fourth Wednesday.

For a calendar showing actual payment dates for 2012, see the Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/calendar.htm.

———Q: Is there a time limit on col-

lecting Social Security disability benefits?

A: Your disability benefits will continue as long as your medical condition does not improve and you remain unable to work. We will re-view your case at regular intervals to make sure you are still disabled. If you are still receiving disability benefits when you reach full retire-ment age, we will automatically convert them to retirement benefits. Learn more by reading our publica-tion, Disability Benefits, at www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10029.html.

———Q: I get Social Security because

of a disability. How often will my case be reviewed to determine if I’m still eligible?

A: How often we review your medical condition depends on how severe it is and the likelihood it will improve. Your award notice

tells you when you can ex-pect your first review using the following terminology: Medical improvement ex-pected — If your condition is expected to improve within a specific time, your first re-view will be six to 18 months after you started getting dis-ability benefits; Medical improvement possible — If

improvement in your medical con-dition is possible, your case will be reviewed about every three years; Medical improvement not expected — If your medical condition is un-likely to improve, your case will be reviewed about once every five to seven years.

———Q: What is the difference be-

tween Social Security disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability?

A: Social Security administers two major programs that provide benefits based on disability: So-cial Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

SSDI benefits are based on prior work under Social Security, and are financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers and self-employed persons. To be eligi-ble for an SSDI benefit, the worker must earn sufficient credits based on taxable work to be “insured” for Social Security purposes.

SSI payments are made on the basis of financial need and are fi-nanced through general tax rev-enues. Adults or children who are

disabled or blind, and have limited income and resources, may be eligi-ble for SSI disability. The monthly payment varies up to the maximum federal benefit rate, which may be supplemented by the state or de-creased by income. Learn more by reading our publications, Supple-mental Security Income at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/11000.html and Disability Benefits at www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10029.html.

———Q: Can I get both Supplemental

Security Income (SSI) and Social Security benefits based on my dis-ability?

A: Many people eligible for So-cial Security disability benefits also may be eligible for SSI. The dis-ability decision for one program is the same for the other, but you must meet additional resource and in-come limits to qualify for SSI bene-fits. Learn all about SSI and whether or not you may qualify by reading the publication, You May Be Able To Get Supplemental Security In-come (SSI) at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/11069.html.

The WA-ID Volunteer Center in the Lewiston Community Cen-ter at 1424 Main St. provides indi-vidualized volunteer opportunities for those wishing to serve in Lew-iston, Clarkston, Asotin, Pomeroy, Moscow and the Orofino area. The phone number is (208) 746-7787; toll free number is (888) 546-7787.

The center can also be found online at www.waidvolunteercen ter.org.

The following are a few of the volunteer opportunities available in October.

The Lewis-Clark Literacy Council needs tutors for basic lan-guage and grammar skills. Tutors are also needed to teach math skills

in preparation for the general edu-cation development testing, and to help with English as a second lan-guage. It is not necessary for the tutor to speak a second language. Volunteers need to be available for three hours a week for at least six months to work one-on-one with a student.

There is an immediate opening for meal delivery drivers for Se-nior Nutrition in Lewiston. This is a job that only requires volunteers to commit to one day a week. You must be a licensed and insured driver, and be able to use your own car. New volunteers will be partnered with existing volunteers to learn routes and may qualify for mileage reimbursement.

The Community Action Partner-ship Food Bank is in need of some committed volunteers. There is a need for several front counter vol-unteers. This position requires the ability to do some computer work. A backup driver is needed for reg-ular routes as well as a helper to ride with a driver on Fridays; both positions require the ability to do some lifting.

School is back in session and America Reads is in need of read-ing tutors to help students achieve this skill. Those interested in this opportunity need to be able to commit to at least an hour a week, once a week, for the school year. Eighty-five percent of the children who received help in the 2011-2012 school year were brought up to their reading level, and 100 percent showed improvement. No teaching experience is necessary to join the America Reads team.

Volunteers are needed to stock the shelves at St. Vincent de Paul Social Services with free items for the clients: clothing, household items, etc. Volunteers are also be-

ing sought to go through the cloth-ing, organize and hang it one time or on a regular basis. The social services office is separate from the thrift store.

Call Cathy at the volunteer cen-ter for more information on any of these or other volunteer opportu-nities.

———Interlink Volunteers — Faith

in Action has a number of handy-man opportunities. Volunteers are needed to construct handrails, do minor plumbing and install grab bars. Volunteers for these jobs need to have their own tools. All other materials will be provided. There are also a number of oppor-tunities to paint wheelchair ramps and two houses. Paint is provided, but volunteers will need to bring brushes, rollers, paint trays and rags.

Volunteers are needed to pro-vide transportation to residents in Nez Perce and Asotin counties. Those who volunteer for this op-portunity will drive those in need to appointments and return them home using their own vehicles. Mileage is reimbursed.

Volunteers are always needed to assist with one-time yard work, help people move and/or load U-Hauls, and to construct wheel-chair ramps.

Volunteer opportunities can be found online at www.interlinkvol unteers.org on “The Monday List.” Volunteer aplications can also be found on the website. Ad-ditional information is available by calling (509) 751-9143 or via email: [email protected].

It doesn’t matter if it’s the front nine or the back nine, these women play every Wednesday — and 85 isn’t their average score, it’s their average age

g o l d e n t i m e s m o n d A Y, o C t o B e R 1 , 2 0 1 210

By Mary TaTkoOf TargeT PublicaTiOns

When she says golf keeps you young, Mickey corlis isn’t kidding around.

corlis, 87, golfs each week with a group of women ranging in age from 78 to 93, and while they haven’t found the fountain of youth, there might just be something to this golf thing.

six of the women drew their chairs into a circle in the ladies locker room at the clarkston golf and country club after a round of nine holes one recent Wednesday to discuss the merits of playing together, playing for fun and playing through the golden years.

in 2009, clarkston Women’s golf association president connie Downen approached corlis about starting a nine-hole group. “so then we began talking to the ladies who were playing 18 holes and we had quite a list of ladies who thought they might be interested,” corlis said. “and it’s really been a wonderful thing, because most of us don’t have the physical ability to play 18 holes.”

Having a dedicated nine-hole group meant “that we could still come out and play golf, and compete if we wanted to

— or not compete,” corlis said.“everybody’s game is sort of like their

own business,” she explained. “if i want to pick up the ball and i don’t want to play that hole, it doesn’t matter.”

“Most of us don’t even keep score any more,” Vivian bacharach, 90, said.

“and we laugh at our mistakes,” Margie Troutt, 92, added.

“When we first started, we were com-peting,” corlis said. “We were putting in money and we were winning balls. We did that one year, and then we decided that we all had plenty of balls and so we wanted to just play for the joy of playing golf.”

Though they no longer put in money, the group was given a shopping bag full of balls by a woman from the 18-hole group, corlis explained. “so sometimes, like this morning, i gave everybody a ball and gave them the instructions that when we got to seven, which is the water hole, that they could either hit the ball or just go up and throw the ball in the lake.”

“i putted out, and then i threw the ball in the lake,” ginny schoeff, 93, said.

The women in the group, all clarkston residents, have many decades of golf between them.

corlis alone has played for more than 50 years. “My son was about 6 (when she started), and he is now 60 years old,” she said.

eschewing com-petition now doesn’t mean they were never competitive,

You’re never too old to tee off

“When we first started, we were competing. We were putting in money and we were winning balls. We did that one year, and then we decided that we all had plenty of balls and so we wanted to just play for the joy of playing golf.” — Mickey Corlis

Corlis pointed out.“I think all of us have played competitive golf,” she

said. “I know Mary had a handicap of, what, 10?” “Only for a few weeks,” Mary Jackman, 78, replied

modestly. “That was my lowest. Usually (it was) 11, 12, 13 — like in there.”

“And about a hundred thousand years ago I was low net in the Washington (State) Women’s Golf (Associa-tion) Tournament,” Corlis said.

All the women in the group are members of Clarkston Golf and Country Club, and most play a couple times each week in addition to the nine holes they play together on Wednesday mornings.

“It’s a good sport,” Phyllis Himmelright, 84, said. “You can play it when you’re young, you can play it when you’re old. Play it if you’re married or single.”

“And (this is) a wonderful group because it’s a group of people that you associate with that you don’t associate (with) at any other time,” Corlis said. “It just gives you another group of friends to have.”

Corlis is the group’s de facto organizer. “Well I guess it’s my job,” she said. “I seem to assume it is. Everybody helps. I’m just sort of … bossy.”

“(It’s) communication,” Himmelright offered.“Thank you,” Corlis said. “It’s a community-type thing.

We just work together.”Corlis comes up with different ways to assign part-

ners, for example asking the ladies to toss a tee to the ground and pair up with whomever the tee points to.

“I’m the stove up one around here,” Jackman said, chuckling, as she got up from her chair, on Corlis’ or-ders, to demonstrate the tee toss.

“And sometimes we have little slips of paper and we draw numbers, and we’re really confused because we can’t remember if we’re supposed to remember the first number or the second number, huh Vivian?” Corlis said, laughing.

This morning, she explained, they’d used initials and gone by alphabetical order.

“We manage to bumble through it,” she said. “So you can tell it’s a very relaxed group.”

The women — there usually are between six and eight players — keep things unofficial, including the group’s name.

“Doug (Phares, the course’s golf pro) said that our name should be Golden Girls, and I asked them how they liked that and nobody came up with anything better,” Corlis said, then addressed the group: “Is there something better you would like? Or worse?”

The ensuing discussion ranged from Golden Nines to Nine-hole Group: “Leave the ‘girls’ out,” someone said.

Corlis said Phares has been very accommodating, allowing each woman to take a cart onto the course in-stead of the usual policy of two per cart. And the other women at the club who still play 18 holes are supportive as well.

“They make us feel like we still belong,” she said.

If You Were HereIf you were here,

you would be right here beside me.

If you were here,the tears would cease

to flow.If you were here,

my days would notbe lonely.

If you were here,we’d find some place to go.

But you’re not here,my life seems oh so empty.

Since you’re not here,I don’t know what I’ll do.

I’ve got to learn,to live somehow

without you.I’ve got to get the strength,

to make it through.I know the Lord,

will always be beside me.He’ll bring me joy,

that I may laugh again.He’ll give me strength,

to live and hope within.Janet Azbill, 75, Lewiston

The Farrier My Friend

Have more patience mylittle man.

I’m driving these nails as fast as I can.

It won’t be long and I’llbe thru.

And your mother’s hooves will be like new.

Then you can run,kick and play.

And join the others for the rest of the day.

I realize to you this don’t mean much.

But it won’t be long and you

will feel my touch.You will hear the hammer

bending the steel.The stroke of the rasp, I’m

sure you will feel.The stroke will be light for the

file is hard.And your feelings for the

farrier, I don’t want marred.So through your mother, I will

now send a messageto you.

I am your friend.This message will come so

loud and clear.With me as your farrier, there’s

nothing to fear.For my back, it hurts, ’cause I

continually bend.And I do it for you, for you are

my friend.Art Whitaker, 78, Lewiston

Jerry and Rita MyersJerry, 68, and Rita, 70, Myers of Lewiston are October’s Senior Volunteers of the

Month for the WA-ID Volunteer Center.Volunteer work: The couple volunteers together in most instances, with both

giving time to the Literature Committee at St. Stanislaus Catholic Parish and St. Joseph Regional Medical Center gift shop. She has also served as president of the

hospital’s auxiliary. They have volunteered for the SJRMC wine tasting event for many years and she has served as chair for that event. She has also

previously served on the Lewiston City Library Foundation and the Lewiston School District Foundation. She is past chair of the Idaho Hospital Association’s Volunteer Committee and he is currently a an at-large member of the committee. They also do volunteer work for the American Cancer Society at the cancer research center and through her membership in P.E.O., for which she is currently serving

as vice president for the state organization. He also volunteers in the evidence room, processing evidence for the Lewiston Police Depart-

ment. They have also volunteered for numerous other organizations and events through the years: From coaching soccer for the Boys and

Girls Club to being timers for the Seaport River Run — they have pretty much done it all. They average around 140 hours per month volunteering for the different groups and organizations between the two of them.

Career: He retired from Potlatch Corp. in January 2002, where he worked 23 years, first in the tissue mill followed by 10 years in corporate

positions for the company. She worked for Shopko in Lewiston when it first opened, serving as the operations administrator for a short length of time. But mostly she has spent much of her life volunteering to help others while raising their children.

Family: They moved to Lewiston from Green Bay, Wis., in 1979 and raised their three children, who were in third, fifth and sixth grades when the family moved here. The three kids now have families of their own and live in Massachusetts, Texas and Ohio. Rita explained how they came from a volunteer culture, in which both of their dads were volunteer firemen, and their moms were involved in PTA and Scouts.

Hobbies: His hobby is racing cars. He said the cars and volunteering take up most of his time. She enjoys spending time on the river and with family.

“When someone asks ‘what was your job?,’ like when I join a new group or something, I often say ‘I’m a professional volunteer,’ because I feel like we’ve volunteered since forever,” Rita told the Tribune.

When asked his favorite part of volunteering, Jerry replied: “You meet some really interesting folks. Today, one of the opportunities that the American Cancer Society has is what they call Road

to Recovery, where if a person needs transportation to the treat-ment center and a family member isn’t available to take them, they’ll schedule rides for them, which is something I’ve started doing. And this guy today was 92 years old and just as lively and full of vinegar as can be. My dad is 95, and lives in assisted living and this guy asked me today why I do this and I said, ‘Well I can’t do it for my own dad, so I do it for others.’ ”

Flu season is almost here. You have seen advertising encourag-ing everyone 6 months of age and older to get a flu vaccine, and the recommendation is to get one as soon as they become available. Pro-tection should last up to a year.

Despite evidence that the vaccine saves lives, and prevents hospital-ization and flu-related pneumonia, many people are hesitant to be vaccinated. Some are wor-ried about complications and reactions to various components of the vaccine.

The usual complications are mild, and include soreness and red-ness at the site of the injection. Less commonly, hoarseness, red eyes, cough, fever, aches, headache and fatigue occur. These last symptoms have prompted some to think they have contracted influenza from the vaccine, which is not possible with the inactivated vaccine. These symptoms are mild and last a maximum of 48 hours.

Others are worried about a mercury-based preservative, thimerosal, used in multi-dose vials to prevent contamination. There is no evidence of any harm occurring from this preservative. For those still concerned, there are preservative-free single doses available.

In 1976, the swine flu vaccine was associated with an increased risk of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a serious illness that has not been associated with any flu vaccine since then.

In the years in which the match is good between the viruses used to make vaccine and the actual viruses causing seasonal flu, the vaccine prevents influenza in 50 percent to 70 percent of people. For those protected, it prevents flu-associated hospitalization, pneumonia and death. Ninety percent of flu-caused deaths are in those older than 64.

If you get the flu, talk to your physician about antiviral medication.

Rusche practices at Valley Medical Center, 2315 Eighth St., Lewiston, (208) 746-1383.

Get the facts about influenza vaccine

To prevent influenza:1. Get a flu vaccine.2. Wash your hands frequently.3. Avoid touching your eyes and mouth.4. Avoid those who are ill with flu.

It was a recent smoky morning when I decided to have coffee at Jack in the Box in Lew-iston and search out a new column.

Much to my surprise there weren’t as many people there as I thought there would be, but I was in luck. In the corner there was a jovial group sitting and chatting, so I introduced myself and asked if I might join them.

The group warned me there might be some language used that wouldn’t be allowed in print but Monica (the only lady in the group) said she would use her cane on them if they got too out of hand. At the table with Monica were three Bills (one being her husband) and some other guys whose names I didn’t, for some unknown reason, write down.

As I listened to the conversations at the table I

couldn’t help wondering, and should have asked, exactly what brought this group together. I did ask how often they met at Jack in the Box and was told “five mornings a week, and then on Saturdays, and most Sunday afternoons,” by one of the Bills.

At one point the conversation turned to politics, as I’m sure many conversations today do with the elec-tions just a little more than a month away. But the dif-ference in this conversation was there wasn’t a heated debate. Even when they didn’t all agree with what someone said they remained calm and polite — some-thing that is amiss in most political conversations. Politicians could take lessons from this group — it doesn’t have to be an angry discussion just because you don’t agree. They did agree on most points though and perhaps that’s what kept it civil. One point they all agreed on came when one of them said, “Who wants that job?” while talking about the presidency and the invasion into your personal life that comes with it.

The morning’s conversation topics included the Nez Perce County Fair, which was just getting started, and numerous people and businesses in town. At one point they passed around a couple of pieces of paper, which Monica said were the jokes that they didn’t dare repeat out loud.

That morning I learned a little about the abandoned well situation in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley. Ads about abandoned wells have been running in the Tribune and on TV, and one of the guys in the group is a well digger. It was interesting to get another piece of valley history mixed in with some geology.

I regularly learn so much from these outings and al-ways take something away from the people I have met while doing this column.

During this particular outing, I realized just how important being around people your age becomes the older you get. Your paths may not cross when you’re going about your daily lives, working and raising a family. Then there comes the day when you find friendship with people whom you may or may not have known in your younger years — others who know the same things you know, who have seen the same things you once saw. Someone who, perhaps only because of the town you live in, shares a similar past that you can now talk about.

I find the thought of that comforting somehow and can’t wait to find my coffee group some day. I can see me being the Monica of the group — cane close at hand.

AARP, a national advocacy group for the 50-plus population, would like you to know that it can go toe-to-toe with the tweens in the viral video department. The group announced that its “Call Me May-be” lip-sync response video, posted online a couple weeks ago, is now one of the most-watched clips on AARP’s YouTube channel, with around 20,000 views.

For those unfamiliar with the genre, “Call Me Maybe” lip-dubs feature people singing along to the maddeningly catchy single by Canadian pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen. Since the first such video was launched (by Jepsen’s fellow Canuck entertainer Justin Bieber) in February, more than 13,000 paro-dies have been uploaded to You-Tube.

Recent contributors to the film-ography include the U.S. Olympic swim team and American infantry-men in Afghanistan; some cultural wags already consider the phenom-enon to be a little passe.

The AARP’s version, featuring multigenerational families frolick-ing by swimming pools, in the back seats of convertibles, and on the beach, is one of the tamer and more

In popularity terms, the “Call Me Maybe” video is leaps and bounds ahead of most of the content on AARP’s YouTube channel — in-cluding much more serious and service-oriented work, like a recent, nationally promoted set of videos about the difficulties of being a care-giver for an elderly or disabled rela-tive. (The latter three-video series has a total of about 2,300 views.)

Tammy Gordon, director of so-cial communications for AARP, says that compared with many other videos on the site, “Call Me Maybe” was relatively inexpensive

to produce, having been cast with amateurs. AARP and a production company, Alphabird, started by re-cruiting social-media-savvy grand-kids, then got them to enlist their elders. But for this video, Gordon says, AARP launched its first major effort at a “social sharing” market-ing effort on behalf of a video, us-ing Facebook and Twitter, and other social media to spread the word. Gordon says the group is hoping to put some of the same tools to work for some of the site’s more serious content.

The lip dub’s success is a remind-er that the gap between AARP’s membership and the music-video generation isn’t necessarily a gulf: After all, AARP’s youngest mem-bers would have been college age

when MTV debuted, in 1981. Gor-don says AARP’s video channels in

general fare best with baby boomer women and folks of Generation X; groups that are either on the young end of AARP’s constituents (mem-bership eligibility begins at age 50) or not far from joining them.
