I was born July 7, 1927, in Arlington, Ore. I am best known for my part in “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” but have also been associated with Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey.

Besides my long TV career, I have a recording career that starts in 1957 and spans five decades with my most recent release being in 2009.

I’ve been married three times and have five children.

Thought for the month “If you try to delight the undelightable, you’ve made yourself miserable for no reason.”

Q&A

MCCLATCHYTRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

have started before age 60 and within seven years of the latest of the following dates: the month the worker died; the last month you were entitled to survivors benefits on the worker’s record as a parent caring for a surviving minor child; the month your previous entitlement to disabled widow(er)’s benefits ended because your disability ended. More information can be found on the Social Security website.

———

Q: I stumbled onto your YouTube channel while looking at funny cat videos. Why does Social Security produce cat videos?

A: It’s just one of many ways for us to connect to people where they already spend time. It’s important for us to let everyone know about all we do for Americans, and we’re especially interested in getting the word out about our easy, convenient and secure online services. That’s why we look for creative ways to reach people, young and old.

Our popular YouTube videos are not only a hit with viewers, but they let people know the best way to apply for benefits — online. See the videos for yourself by clicking on the YouTube link at the bottom right side of the Social Security website. By the way, the cat videos have already received more than 1 million views.

rity taxes dies, who is eligible for survivors benefits?

A: Social Security survivors benefits can be paid to:  Widows or widowers — unreduced benefits at full retirement age, or reduced benefits as early as age 60.  Disabled widows or widowers — as early as age 50.  Widows or widowers at any age if they take care of the deceased’s child who is under age 16 or disabled and receiving Social Security benefits.  Unmarried children under age 18, or up to age 19 if they are attending secondary school full time. Under certain circumstances, benefits can be paid to stepchildren and grandchildren.  Children at any age who were disabled before age 22 and remain disabled.  Dependent parents age 62 or older.

Even if you are divorced, you still may qualify for survivors benefits.

Q: What type of information will I need to provide if I’d like to apply online for Social Security retirement benefits?

A: Whether you apply for retirement benefits online, by phone or in an office, we suggest that you have the following information at hand when you do it — it will make completing the application easier for you:  Your birth date, place of birth and Social Security number.  Your bank account number and your bank’s routing number, for direct deposit.  The amount of money you earned last year and this year. If you are applying for benefits in the months of September-December, you may also need to provide an estimate of what you expect to earn next year if you plan to continue working.  The name and address of your employer(s) for this year and last year.  The beginning and ending dates of any active military service you had prior to 1968.  The name, Social Security number and date of birth of your current and any former spouses.

Depending on your situation, you may need to provide additional documentation with your application. We’ll give you instructions on how to mail or bring it to us. To get started, visit our Retirement Planner on our website

Age doesn’t take you out of the fashion game The aging process may change many things but it doesn’t have to change your desire to look good

LEFT: This grouping shows print/pattern, texture and print. The left shirt is a large pattern — almost a print — that is suitable for a fuller woman. The middle shirt has eyelets — texture. The shirt on the right has a small pattern that will work better on women with a smaller frame. RIGHT: This outfit demonstrates texture (white shirt has texture print); use of color (the pink pants — which might seem scary on their own, but paired with navy and white serve as an accent); texture (navy jacket creates layers, texture and dimension) — also the white shirt is sleeveless and the jacket works to cover the arms.

And despite common complaints to the contrary, King said it’s not impossible to find good looks for people at local clothing retailers. When she does personal shopping with her clients, she always begins locally. She said larger areas like Spokane just offer wider selections of the same thing.

King had these tips to offer for anyone looking to update or refine their wardrobe.

Tip 1: Wear clothes that fit.

Fit is the most basic part of looking your best and it’s the part people most often get wrong.

“Usually, with anyone — regardless of age — the issue is fit,” King said. “Most women are afraid of well-fitting clothes.”

Another factor in aging is things change as people’s hair grays or eye color fades.

Jewel tones, King said, are a good look with gray hair and eye color is also a sure bet when selecting a flattering color.

And because fashion is as much as about being you as it is about looking good, consider your personality when looking at colors. For example, King said, people with a bright personality shouldn’t feel limited to pastels even if pastels are what Tribune/Kyle Mills looks good on them.

At night, keep a pillow between the knees when lying on one side. There are stretches and exercises that can be done to improve the pain. Physical therapists can guide people in doing these as well as provide pain relief with warm and cold packs or electrical stimulation. Your health care provider may inject the most tender points around the trochanter and down the side of the thigh with local anesthetic and a corticosteroid for more immediate relief. Treatment of other physical problems should be addressed. Leg length differences can be remedied with shoe lifts. Treatment of back or knee pain may prevent an abnormal gait.

“You can’t convince me that it’s a good thing to go gray — unless you are old. When you are in your 80s and you have pretty white hair, that’s one thing.”

“I think gray hair makes men look older, but they can pull it off,” she said. “It looks more distinguished. But that’s a different story.”

Finding the right word isn’t easy to do

I spend a great deal of time with the “elderly,” as you can imagine.

When I am telling people about my job I say “I am in charge of a monthly magazine for ‘seniors’ in our readership area.” I’ve heard people say I work with “old people.”

You’re probably wondering where I’m going with all this.

Well, I recently attended the annual Senior Health and Fitness Fair at the Lewiston Community Center where more than 20 vendors gave out information about services they offer. I wanted to attend this event to see what types of businesses would be interested in marketing services for this population we refer to as “senior citizens.”

OK, so what does that have to do with my quoted text? The fair got me thinking — part of marketing to a certain group of people requires giving that group a common name. For a long time those who were considered “elderly” were all part of “The Greatest Generation” so it was easy, but now we have some from that generation mixed with some of the “Baby Boomers.” And if there is one thing we are learning quickly, it

alk

is that “baby boomers” don’t like to be referred to as old or even as seniors.

We give such credence to the word old and many find the word elderly insulting when it is referring to them or someone their age. As for the word seniors, it’s probably the softest of the words used but even it can offend some.

This is an interesting time in marketing to those age 60 and older. Being 60 doesn’t mean what it used to — most people age 60 don’t feel, look COMMENTARY or act “old” or “elderly.” And considering people are living longer and working later in life it’s hard to associate them with the word “seniors.”

I realized at the fair that I am not the only one who has noticed the wide variety of individuals in this population being grouped together as “senior citizens.”

In my everyday encounters with our readers I see so

Peggy J. Hayden

many different types of people from this group — from the very healthy to the not-so-healthy; from the very active to the less-than-active — this group is made up of as many different types as the rest of the population.

And this was very clear by the organizations at the fair.

There were Botox clinicians and assisted-living facilities; A person offering to teach Falun Dafa, a Chinese practice that “improves the body with five gentle exercises,” and home medical services; master gardeners and Costco; and even someone from the library was there.

There was literature on fitness and AARP, and many other topics. The variety of organizations was as broad as the people attending the fair.

I was not the only person under the age of being an AARP cardholder, either. Several of those in attendance were not quite the demographic you would expect at a “senior” fair, which is good. Maybe, just maybe, we, as a society, are learning that group identity shouldn’t be based solely on age. Two people of the same age, same gender, same ethnicity, raised in the same city can be very different in every way possible. And that, my friends, makes finding a word to describe a group of a certain age or older very difficult.  Hayden may be contacted at phayden@lmtribune.com or (208) 848-2243.

24 4 GRAY HAIR, continued from page 20 As adults we shake our heads at those crazy kids with purple, pink or orange manes, but remember blue-haired ladies? The women, you might remember, were generally elderly with locks the color of a drop-in toilet freshener. And, no, it wasn’t a mistake. They made their hair that color on purpose.

“That was way back in the day when everybody used a rinse that made their hair blue,” Carris said, laughing.

Maybe going naturally gray isn’t so bad. Still, the majority of women, like Lorraine Fields of Uniontown, Ohio, are on a mission to keep it covered up.

When she recently turned 60, Fields said, streaks of gray sprouted near her ears — reminding her of

GOLDEN TIMES “Frankenstein’s bride.”

The hunt for camouflage was on, but it had to be cheap. She perused the aisles of a drugstore for a product with appropriate coverage and enlisted her husband to help her color her locks.

“Wow, what a dye job. Because of my cheapness, I had a brown side of hair, the other almost black and a chemically burned scalp. The gray streaks (were) unscathed by the attempt to cover,” she joked, adding that she is heading to a salon to get the job done right.

The thing to remember is that age is just a number and hair color does not dictate whether you lead a sedate lifestyle or behave like a character in “50 Shades of Grey.”

The choice is yours.
