Horsing around on a Pomeroy ranch W

hat would a gal of 8 like to do in the summer on a 2,200acre wheat ranch?

Yup, you guessed ’er — ride horseback; and we sure did.

My older sister, Carol, and I would ride for hours with our four-mile-away girlfriends. We would have races in the summer fallow and seldom rode with saddles, but we didn’t tumble off very often. My quarter horse, Lady, would always break out first at a quick start. But my sister’s thoroughbred, Cricket, would always overtake me and win in a long race.

Our companion riders, Tina and Janet, rode good spirited horses, too, and the four of us would often compete in magical cowboy and Indian wars.

We would frequently meet at what we called “the Meadow,” approximately 20 acres of grassland with six or seven ponds and a dozen or so cottonwoods. We would sit in the shade of the trees and eat our peanut butter sandwiches while the horses grazed nearby. If the day was hot, 90-plus degrees, the horses would invariably get into one of the ponds and lie down before we could get off — a cooling-off for horse and rider.

watch the torture of the calves. I am much relieved to note that most of those procedures have changed: Branding has been changed to tagging in the ear; de-horning is mostly nonexistent because of breeding away the horns; and castration is often done with a rubber band.

With these advances, the trauma to the little ones is much lessened.

• • • • • Another favorite summer pastime was filling the old horse trough for swimming.

It was about 20 feet square and 3 feet deep, and it looked so beautiful when we first filled it — a beautiful turquoise blue. But, wow — the temperature was like a lake in mid-December.

By the time the water was warm enough for swimming, the color was a lovely frog-loving green, so we would add a gallon of bleach.

There’s a lot to love here.

Sometimes innovation is about seeing the world in a new way, not looking at a screen.

At Brookdale, we are changing perceptions of aging. Actually, we’re doing more than that. We’re celebrating aging by redefining what it means to live well. But, of course, our residents use cool technology, too, like tablets, social media and video-chatting to connect with family and friends.

Glenette Otton, 101

Bernice Schock, 90

Martin Glasser, 80

Glenette Otton of Lewiston was born in 1916 to William and Crystal Fouste on the family homestead near Council, Idaho.

Glenette was the oldest of five children.

After graduating from high school, she was encouraged by a family friend, Mamie McClure, to attend the Normal School in Lewiston since she enjoyed teaching Sunday school.

Glenette enrolled at the school, received a teaching certificate, and met Edward W. Otton. They were married Nov. 6, 1937. The couple raised four rambunctious sons — Ed, Bill, Jim and Sid. Glenette taught for one year in Worley, Idaho, then stayed home to raise her sons. She returned to teaching in 1954 at Grantham Elementary in Clarkston, where she taught until her retirement in 1978.

She has been a faithful member of the Congregational-Presbyterian Church for 80 years.

Glenette will celebrate her birthday quietly at her home with family and friends.

Bernice Schock of Lewiston was born in 1927 in Selby, S.D., to Homer and Ada Moak.

She married Ed F. Schock in South Dakota in 1945, following World War II. Bernice and Ed moved to Lewiston in 1955 with their four small children, Lois, Joseph, Donna and Mike. Bernice’s sister and brother-in-law, Etta and Bob Fazenbaker, soon followed them to Idaho.

Ed went to work for Potlatch Forests Inc., and in 1957, Bernice graduated from the St. Joseph Licensed Practical Nurse’s Training Program. She worked at St. Joseph’s Hospital for the next 34 years.

Bernice and Ed were married for 51 years before his death in 1996. Bernice has nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She still enjoys the company of family and friends, but “speak up.�

Bernice moved to the Lewiston Royal Plaza Assisted Living Retirement Center in 2012. She is blessed to be surrounded daily by a wonderful group of “new� and “old� friends. She is twice blessed by the caring staff at the Royal Plaza, “where they treat her like a queen.�

Friends are welcome to join Bernice and her family for an open-house party from 2 to 4 p.m. July 15 at Royal Plaza.

Martin Glasser of Lewiston was born in 1937 to Alfonse and Rose Glasser in Glen Ullin, N.D., where he graduated from high school in 1955 and started his life as a construction worker.

In 1958, he moved to Colorado, where construction work was booming.

Martin married Audrey Maigatter in 1960 in Grand Junction, Colo. From there, they moved to Lewiston in 1967, where he continued construction work as an operating engineer until retiring.

In his younger years, Martin played all sports in high school. He excelled in boxing, winning 31 of 35 bouts — including five Golden Glove Championships in Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota.

He is an avid sports fan, cheering on the Sacajawea Braves, Lewiston Bengals, Lewis-Clark State Warriors, Gonzaga Bulldogs, Notre Dame, the Dodgers, the Green Bay Packers and every team in which his grandchildren are involved. He is a member of All Saints Catholic Church in Lewiston. He also is a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Lewiston Elks, LCSC Boosters and Operating Engineers.

Martin and his wife have three sons, two daughters, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He will celebrate his birthday with his family.

are appropriate for most seniors. For example, the vaccine to protect against pneumonia and a yearly flu shot typically are recommended for adults older than 65.

Another example is a bone density test, which is used to screen for

osteoporosis. This test is recommended at 65 for women who have never broken a bone and who don’t have other osteoporosis risk factors. For men, this test usually is recommended around 70 for those who have broken a bone at some point

in their lives.

Other tests usually are based on an individual’s specific health concerns and medications. For example, tests to check blood sugar; cholesterol; and minerals, such as sodium and potassium, may be appropriate.

Some people also may need regular tests to gauge kidney and liver function.

Before your father goes to see his health care provider, encourage him to write down questions or concerns he’d like to discuss. To help the visit go smoothly, it also would be useful for him to note any significant health concerns or conditions he’s had in the past, as well as any health problems or symptoms he’s experiencing now. He should bring along a list of all her medications, including over-the-counter medications, and their dosages, too.

Based on that information and a physical exam, his health care provider can offer guidance on the tests and screenings that may be appropriate, as well as the best schedule for future checkups. He or she also can discuss lifestyle recommendations regarding exercise, nutrition and social interaction, among other topics, that can make a big difference in an older adult’s quality of life.

> MEET THE CONDUCTOR A former Lewiston High School history and photography teacher, Garry Bush started Idaho Discovery Tours following the death of his friend, Tom Campbell, Jr., a longtime Lewiston Tribune report, who had conducted tours in the area.

“As a tribute to him, I started doing these tours,” Bush said. His second career has blossomed. He now employs 10 people to conduct valley tours for local groups and Empress Cruise Lines passengers when the ships pull into the Lewiston port. In addition to the trolley tours, Idaho History Tours offers walking ghost tours, which explores the historic downtown area by foot and delves into the paranormal past of the area.

“I have always loved history and teaching history. It is what I was meant to do. Everyone should have a job where what they are doing doesn’t feel like a job, but like they are getting paid to do what they love,” Bush said.

he doors to the Heritage House in Lewiston open and a blur of purple-and-red-clad women make their way inside, eager to step back in time. Their conductor for this trip is Garry Bush, who owns and operates Idaho History Tours. A tall, charismatic storyteller clad in a black trolley conductor’s uniform and hat, Bush ushers two groups of the Red Hat Society into one of the oldest homes in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley.

Heritage House, 0310 Third St., next to the Nez Perce County Museum in Lewiston, is the starting point for this tour. As Bush moves through the home pointing out interesting relics and antiques, his vast knowledge of the area and years of research quickly become evident. Stopping at a Steinway piano, Bush asks if anyone knows how it made its journey from New York City to here. The women eagerly story and guess, the competition adding to the joviality of the June photos by afternoon.

SHELLY “It started out in New York City, went to sea along the ROMINE Atlantic Ocean, around the tip of South America, entered the FOR Pacific Ocean, and continued on its way to Portland, Ore,” GOLDEN Bush says. “From there, two steam ships brought the piano TIMES to Wawawai, where the Columbia and Snake rivers meet. At this point, the piano was put onto a cart and made its final leg into the L-C Valley. It arrived in 1876.”

Lively hand gestures and the excitement in Bush’s voice holds his audience enthralled. There are dozens of questions, which Bush confidently answers.

He shares with the group his desire to dig for treasure in the home’s backyard. One woman enthusiastically raises her hand and announces she will help. With a sly smile, Bush asks if she knows what kind of treasure they’ll be hunting. She hesitates. Bush explains that he wants to find the outhouse.

“They used to throw all their trash down in the outhouses back then. There is a wealth of items down there.” He smiles, enjoying the reactions to this news.

The women explore the home until, Bush, conductor-like, glances at his gold watch, and shouts, “Ladies, let’s get on the trolley and begin our tour.” > See ALL

GARRY BUSH, TELLING HOW THE NIGHT WATCHMAN AT ERB’S HARDWARE WAS FIRED nieces took control of the building and decided to put in an interior decorating business there.

They went into the upstairs and began cleaning everything out. After moving a lot of boxes and doing a lot of cleaning, they eventually found a locked door. When they finally found the key and unlocked the room, they found a bedroom, with slippers sitting under the foot of the bed. There was a 1959 TV with rabbit ears and men’s clothing hanging in the closet.”

After a pause, Bush continued: “Erb had a night watchman, and this was his room. One night Erb came to his store and tried to get in, and the night watchman and he got into it. Erb became so angry that he went upstairs and locked the night watchman’s room and the night watchman was never seen again.”

“What happened to him?” asks a woman near the front of the trolley.

The women file on; he passes out water bottles and makes sure everyone is comfortable. Then he climbs behind the wheel of his green 1998 trolley bus, reminiscent of the trolley cars that traversed Lewiston’s Main Street in 1915, and they’re off. ***** Winding through the streets of the original center of town — stretching along Beachey, Capital and D streets from First through Fourth streets — Bush begins weaving a narrative of the city from the time of its inception to the Lewiston of today.

“Did you know that most second and third floors of these old buildings in downtown Lewiston, during the early gold rush days, were inhabited by ladies living in female boarding houses … you know, ladies of the night, soiled doves … ” Bush pauses. Laughter erupts. The two Red Hat clubs are aboard the trolley tour: the Scarlet O’Hatters and the Ladies of the Night.

“It was perfectly legal back in that time. In fact, these houses had to be called boarding houses in order to keep everything legal.

It was interesting that each of the women in the female boarding houses was charged $7 tax each year to be paid for their business endeavors. Whenever they did not pay the tax, they were arrested, and then released. They went back to work after they paid the tax.”

In 1847, Bush said, the Lewiston City Council banned prostitution within city limits, which sent the women who lived on the second and third floors looking for new digs.

“At that time, the Orchards had not been incorporated yet, so the women took their trade in that direction,” Bush says. One of the women noted that many moved into the Clarkston area as well. ***** The trolley passes slowly by the site of Lewiston’s former railroad

station. Storage buildings now sit adjacent to the spot where people looking for gold first encountered Lewiston, arriving in droves by rail or steamboat.

The tour turns along D Street, and parks across from the Lewiston City Library which, Bush explains, used to be Erb Hardware.

Holding with the custom of the day, the building housed a female boarding house as well as a secret room.

“After Erb passed away, his

***** A few blocks away, Bush halts on Main Street where the nowvacant Liberty Theater building had its start as the Beehive Furniture Store.

“Look up at the top of the building, and you will see a raised structure resembling a beehive. That was originally built for the furniture store,” Bush says.

ville acts and performances in the 1920s and 1930s, with big names coming to the Liberty or Mason’s Theater, formerly located along Main Street. Bush pulls out playbills advertising Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Arthur Godfrey, Fatty Arbuncle and Judy Garland (who visited in 1934 as a member of the Gum Sisters). Chatter breaks out on the bus, and the questions begin.

“What brought all the stars here to Lewiston?” one woman asks.

“You have to understand that this was the end of the line for steamboats bringing people all the way to the gold fields. Back in the day, the steamboats first went to Cascade Falls, and then went to Celilo Falls, and finally to Lewiston,” Bush says. During the gold rush days, it was common to see numerous steamboats in port at one time. “There are pictures that show as many as 11 steamboats in the Lewiston port during that time period.” ***** As the trolley moves methodically through the streets of downtown Lewiston, Bush continues the thread of interesting stories, including one featuring another furniture store. The original Vassar Rawls building, 141 Ninth St., was first located along Sixth Street, Bush says.

“They cut the house in two and then laid logs in the road and pushed the house along its route to this new location.” Vassar and Rawls originally sold furniture, with a sideline of caskets. That is how they got into the mortuary business.

Tour participants listen to guide Garry Bush (above) and take a cookie-and-bathroom break at Pioneer Park in Lewiston (top). says: “The local police called Vassar one night and asked him if he knew where his hearse was.

Vassar stated that it was parked in his driveway.

‘Are you sure about that?’ asked the officer. Vassar checked and acknowledged that the officer was correct; it was missing.

‘I know,’ said the officer.

‘Your son is drag racing it down Main Street right now.’ ” The women erupt in laughter; the trolley moves on. ***** The scenery shifts from the flat to Sixth Avenue near Lewis-Clark State College. The Red Hat Ladies “ooh” and “ahh” as Bush points out the original homes of the valley’s elite to the right and the left.

Who was the only president to ever visit Lewiston, Bush quizzes. Guesses are shouted out. Bush nods

at a woman who answers “Taft,” and he begins another story.

“Taft was a heavy man.

It was estimated that at the time he was here, he weighed approximately 350 pounds, maybe more.

The city had planned a meet-and-greet event at Pioneer Park, and they tried to take Taft up the Fifth Street Grade to the event, but the car wasn’t powerful enough, and they had to find another way.

They eventually ended up taking him up the Prospect Grade instead.” ***** After a brief pit stop at Prospect Park, the tour is rolling once more.

Rie Walker, the group’s oldest member at 92, wants to know the location of the Disney wedding.

Bush obliges, steering the trolley to the former home of Sydney Bounds, located GOLDEN TIMES

at 918 Third St., in Lewiston. Turning off the engine, Bush turns and tells of the Spalding girl who grew up here and eventually stole Walt Disney’s heart — the young Lillian Bounds.

“I knew her name started with an ‘L,’ ” Walker says. “I just couldn’t remember.”

The couple married here at the home of her brother, Sydney. Bush displayed marriage photos showing family members grouped in front of the small home.

The Disney Foundation paid for a state-of-the-art track for Lapwai students, Bush says. The house has since changed hands. ***** Bush jokes as the tour draws to a close.

Women 50 and older who have a partner are invited to join the Scarlet O’Hatters group. Single women 50 and older are invited to join the Ladies of the Night Group.

“The purpose of the Red Hat Society is to just have fun,” said Joan Moore, the Queen of the Scarlet O’Hatters. “At this point in life, we have served on the PTA and put in our volunteer hours. It is time to think of us.”

you a shot of whiskey to get you off the trolley.”

“If we sit here long enough will you give us a shot?” a woman shouts out.

Laughter echoes through the trolley.

Bush pulls into the parking lot next to the Heritage House. The tours ends in a round of mutual appreciation from the tour guide and his audience.

Thanks and goodbyes are exchanged as women exit one by one. A glance into the trolley shows several women still seated, taking their time as they gather their belongings … and perhaps waiting for their shot of whiskey.

It was all done, Dockham said, in an effort to better the town she loves.

“I tell it like it is,” she said.

You may not find her at many civic gatherings anymore, but Dockham still makes her presence known every week at the nearby Legion hall for karaoke.

During a recent singing contest, she sat at the bar and weighed her competition. Performers belted “Hail Mary” notes. But the spitfire with the walker, the one who favors classic country crooners, didn’t flinch.

Intimidated by these youngsters?

Not a chance, she said.

“I haven’t even gotten started.”

A spunky red-head Even when she was growing up, folks in her hometown of Austin, Minn., knew not to cross the pretty girl with the red hair.

But that spunk had knocked her onto the wrong side of the law, like in a yearslong dispute with a neighbor about whose property ended where.

This protracted tug-ofwar accounts for much of her rap sheet, with convictions that range from disorderly conduct to trespassing to building illegal fences. It also led

the moments when she speaks of her late husband, an Air Force veteran whose military service spanned multiple wars.

She carries his photo in her purse. With a girlish giggle, she’ll tell you about her “sweetheart.”

She tells of how they waltzed and did the twostep while courting. How they moved to Lexington after his military years and raised their kids. Reflecting on Adolph “Doc” Dockham still makes her cry.

In the years since Doc died in 2003, others have stepped in to help his widow, shoveling her driveway, getting her to the store.

Mike Grubbs, the Legion’s chaplain, drives her most places now and helps take care of her at home.

On a recent Friday night, Grubbs stopped at the Legion to drop off his companion, whose wispy white hair still has a copper sheen in the right light.

As always, Dockham shuffled to the microphone and opened karaoke. Then, a man with kind eyes asked her to two-step.

Beneath the kaleidoscope karaoke lights, she took her place at the center of the bar, leaning on her partner, but still dancing.

to multiple jail bookings in the past seven years.

“We only jailed her, frankly, when we had absolutely no other option under the law,” said Lt. Russell Blanck of the Centennial Lakes Police Department, which patrols Lexington and two other cities.

During one police encounter, Dockham, then 81, even tried fleeing an officer on foot.

“She can run pretty quick,” said one neighbor, declining to be named for fear of retribution. “You can’t make this up.”

Neighbors say they have reason to be wary.

Murphy, who has lived across the street for about 30 years, said Dockham has called the cops on him before.

“I can’t say she’s totally evil, but she’s damn well near it,” he said.

Softer side Regulars at the Lino Lakes American Legion say Dockham has a sweeter side, too. They champion her tough-asnails moxie.

Take Paige Bernier, who crossed paths with Dockham at the Legion soon after her own mother died.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry,” Dockham told her. “I’ll be your mother.”

Women — harness the power of Social Security

By Nicole Tiggemann of Tribune News Service

Nearly 60 percent of the people receiving Social Security benefits are women, and in the 21st century, more women work, pay Social Security taxes and earn credit toward monthly retirement income than at any other time in our nation’s history. Knowing this, women can be the author of their own rich and independent history, with a little preparation.

For more than 80 years, Social Security has served a vital role in the lives of women. With longer life expectancies than men, women tend to live more years in retirement and have a greater chance of exhausting other sources of income. With the national average life expectancy for women in the United States rising, many women will have decades to enjoy retirement. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a female born today can expect to live more than 80 years. As a result, experts generally agree that if women want to ensure that their retirement years are comfortable, they need to plan early and wisely.

One place to start is a visit to Social Security’s Retirement Estimator. It gives users a personalized estimate of retirement benefits.

Plug in various retirement ages and projected earnings to get an idea of how such things might change future benefit amounts. This valuable tool can be found at www.socialsecurity.gov/ estimator.

Another spot to visit is Social Security’s financial planning website at www. socialsecurity.gov/planners.

It provides detailed information about how marriage, widowhood, divorce, self-employment, government service and other life or career events can affect Social Security earnings.

Benefits are based on individual earnings, so creating a personal My Social Security account enables users to verify that earnings were reported correctly.

More information about how Social Security supports women through life’s journey is available in a Social Security booklet, “What Every Woman Should Know.”

It is available online at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10127.html.

Anne Dongarra, a resident at Glen Meadows Retirement Community, pets “Henry,” a robotic companion cat that responds to petting and motion. When asked about why she likes Henry, Dongarra responds simply: “A pet’s a good thing to have.”

LEN ARM, Md. — Mary Thompson sits in a hallway at Glen Meadows Retirement Community, staring aimlessly. Since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s around six years ago, it’s been difficult to get the 86-year-old to interact with others, her son Mark Thompson said.

Most of her sentences don’t make sense and she doesn’t talk much. But place Henry — a robotic cat — in her lap, and her whole demeanor begins to change.

“Oh, you’re so sweet,” she says as she pets his white and tan fur lovingly. The cat vibrates with purrs and moves his head and paws if he’s cleaning himself. He occasionally blinks and rolls onto his back so that Mary can touch his belly, and in between rubs, Henry, who “I think she sensed there it, and for those moments, it responds to touch, lets out a up with joyful surprise.

Mark Thompson, 49, was a real cat in her lap, and seemed to make her happy series of loud meows — just calls it a moment of clarity. she was actually talking to and I think it helped stimulike a real cat. Mary looks

late her,” he said, adding that she used to own cats before coming to live at Glen Meadows, in Glen Arm. Community life director Heather Kennedy added that there’s some interaction when a person sits and talks with Mary “humanto-human,” but “it’s not as deep as when you hand her the cat,” she said.

Kennedy purchased the cat version of Hasbro’s Joy for All Companion Pet online for $100 in November, joining other retirement communities across the world in the trend of incorporating robot companions into elderly care in hopes of improving residents’ quality of life. Some data show that robots can elicit the same feelings many have toward their real pets without the everyday responsibilities of caring for them.

Experts say robotic pets are just another sign of how robots will contribute to the daily lives of humans — but others are adamant that robotics will never replace human or animal contact.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has long described the health benefits of having a real pet — the possibility of decreasing blood pressure and cholesterol levels, while increasing opportunities for exercise and socialization — but more recent studies show that robot companions can yield comparable therapeutic effects.

Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common injuries of the shoulder. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint with the arm bone (humerus) meeting the shallow socket called the glenoid fossa. This socket is part of the shoulder blade (scapula).

The term “rotator cuff ” refers to four muscles of the shoulder that help to support the shoulder joint during rest Larry Ohman, PT, OCS and movement. These muscles, known as the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis, attach the shoulder blade and the upper arm bone, and keep the arm bone against the shoulder socket.

Rotator cuff muscles and tendons can be injured over time, or with a sudden injury such as a fall. In an overuse injury, the soft tissues may begin as fraying, often caused by repeated activities. A tear cab be partial or complete, with the muscle being torn into two pieces.

Symptoms of a rotator cuff tear can include shoulder pain, stiffness, and weakness. You may have difficulty raising the arm overhead, or lifting objects, especially above shoulder height. Getting dressed, washing your hair, or tucking in a shirt can be difficult. Sleeping can be limited because of shoulder pain.

While recovering from rotator cuff injuries, you may need to avoid activities that are repeated or painful, such as swimming or playing tennis. Physical therapy can help you learn how to keep the shoulder moving while protecting the healing tissues with activities for stretching, strengthening, and for healthy posture.

rugs should not be placed at the top or bottom of the landing. Outdoors, rough finishes are recommended, particularly on stairs that are subject to getting wet. l Improve step geometry. If slips and falls frequently occur on a particular staircase, consider the relationship between the rise and the run, advises the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety. The National Building Code of Canada says that, within a staircase, treads should have a uniform run and tread depth that does not vary more than 0.5 to 1 cm.

Steep steps with high risers and/or short treads can increase the risk of falls. l Clear away clutter.

One easy way to prevent falls is to keep stairs free of clutter. This means removing shoes, books and other belongings that may be left on stairs or landings.

Many falls on stairs can be prevented by being mindful of these risk factors.

1,055 retirement locations around the country, including locations in Towson, Hagerstown and Olney, have the companion cats and dogs, which Holt Klinger said have been a soothing and calming addition, especially for those with anxiety, she said.

“They really help our residents to access those nurturing emotions and feelings that perhaps they had for a past pet,” she said, but they do not replace regular pets.

“We see it as an adjunct,” she said. “Live pets are still a big part of what I do. These [robots] don’t necessarily replace live pets, but we’ve seen that it’s been helpful for those residents that are a little more advanced in their dementia or found difficulty in taking care of pets.”

And unlike real cats or dogs, “they stay in a person’s lap for as long as they’ll have them,” she said with a laugh.
