SERVICE

Q: I have never worked but my spouse has. What will my

benefits be?A: You can be entitled to

as much as one-half of your spouse’s benefit amount when you reach full retirement age. If

you want to get Social Security retirement benefits before you reach full retirement age, the amount of your benefit is reduced. The amount of reduc-tion depends on when you will reach full retirement age. For example, if you file at age 62, and your full retirement age is 65, you can get 37.5 percent of your spouse’s unreduced ben-efit; if your full retirement age is 66, you can get 35 percent of your spouse’s unreduced ben-efit; if your full retirement age is 67, you can get 32.5 percent of your spouse’s unreduced benefit.

The amount of your benefit increases if your entitlement begins at a later age, up to the maximum of 50 percent at full retirement age. If your full retirement age is other than those shown here, the amount of your benefit will fall between 32.5 percent and 37 percent at age 62. However, if you are taking care of a child who is younger than 16 or who gets Social Security disabil-ity benefits on your spouse’s record, you get the full spouse’s benefits, regardless of your age. Learn more about retirement benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/retirement.

Q: Can I receive Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income benefits at the same time?

A: You may be able to receive SSI in addition to

monthly Social Security ben-efits if your Social Security benefit is low enough for you to qualify for SSI. Whether you can get SSI depends on your income and resources (the things you own). If you have low income and few resources, you may be able to supple-ment your Social Security benefit with an SSI pay-ment. You can find out more about SSI by going to www.socialsecurity.gov and select-ing the “Supplemental Security Income” banner at the top of the page.

Q: What are the limits on what I can own to be eligible for Supplemental Security Income? Can I have money in the bank, a car and a fur-nished house?

A: We count real estate, bank accounts, cash, stocks, and bonds toward the resource limits on what you can own. You may be able to get SSI if your resources are worth no more than $2,000. A couple may be able to get SSI if they have resources worth no more than $3,000. Keep in mind that we usually don’t count the house you live in, personal items such as furniture and clothing, or the car you drive. If you own valuable property you are trying to sell, you may be able to get SSI while trying to sell it. You can find out more about SSI by going to www.socialsecurity.gov and select-

ing the “Supplemental Security Income” banner at the top of the page.

Q: Why is there a five-month waiting period for Social Security disability ben-efits?

A: By law, Social Security disability benefits can be paid only after a worker has been disabled continuously throughout a period of five full calendar months. The first benefit paid is for the sixth month of disability and is paid in the seventh month. This waiting period ensures that we pay benefits only to persons with long-term disabilities and avoid duplicating other income protection plans (such as employer sick-pay plans) during the early months of dis-ability. To learn more, read our online publication, Disability Benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10029.html.

Q: What happens to my Medicare coverage if my Social Security benefits stop because I go to jail?

A: If you were getting Medicare and monthly Social Security benefits before you went to jail, your benefits will stop but your hospital insurance (Part A) coverage will continue. To keep your medical insurance (Part B) coverage, you must pay the premiums. If your cov-erage ends while you are in jail because you did not pay your Medicare premiums, you will be able to enroll again during the next General Enrollment Period (January through March of each year). Your coverage will start again in July of the year you re-enroll. If you do re-enroll, you will be respon-sible for any unpaid past-due premiums and your ongoing premium may be higher.

Moscow Friendly Neighbors Nutrition Program

By Jessica YadegaranOf the COntra COsta times

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Sept. 15, 1951. It was the day Phil Aker peeked over his fence in Arizona and saw five sisters moving in next door. His

eyes landed on the oldest, a 12-year-old redhead named Jeanine Fetterly. “She’s cute,” he told his younger brother. “I’ll take her.”

Before long, they were insep-arable. They’d meet in the alley between their houses. They’d sneak out in the dead of night to

go skinny dipping. Fetterly and Aker dated for three years until Fetterly ended the relationship. She thought he wasn’t romantic enough.

Weeks later, she met the guy who would become her husband. Aker moved on, too. They each

had children. And grandchildren. Eventually, they both divorced. But they always thought of each other. Fetterly often flipped through diaries from her school-girl days, marveling at how Aker was on almost every page.

Seven years ago, Aker, who

lives in Los Angeles, was com-ing to the San Francisco Bay area for a conference. So he tracked her down and they had dinner. Save for a brief encoun-ter two years before, Fetterly and Aker hadn’t seen each other

hey days

Sitting eyeball to eyeball with death is as scary a situation — darned tootin’ scary — that life can deal to man, woman or bambino.

Listen. It’s the voice of expe-rience speaking. Several times I’ve encountered difficulty in swallowing food for various reasons, maybe because of a

cold, or a grip of gristle block-ing my windpipe or what have you.

Providentially, I’ve overcome these assaults, mostly by fero-cious coughing and utilizing outsize intakes of breath.

This time, it’s not so uncom-plicated. I produce a hard, hack of a cough, then a deep, futile

inhale, sounding like a wheez-ing piece of machinery, but this old clunker ain’t ready yet for the junkyard, thanks.

Here’s the deal. My wife and I are completing our meal in a popular eatery. One of its employees, an old friend, stops by. The conversation is merry.

And look. I’m choking.In a spurt of seconds my

wife, who bears the bravura smarts of a nurse, is aware of my plight, and is on top of the situation — literally.

She’s behind me, arms all over me. Patrons are beginning to take note. Naturally it both-ers me that we’re disturbing their peace, but shamelessly I submit that this isn’t my major dilemma of the moment.

Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life I’m about to witness the Heimlich maneu-

ver in action.As you know, or should, the

Heimlich is a series of under-the-diaphragm abdominal thrusts, which Good Samaritans hope will lift victims’ dia-phragms and force sufficient air from the lungs to expel obstructing, alien bodies.

My wife has never taken any instruction in this maneuver, but she’s heard and read enough about it. No time for second thoughts. Her Edward is in grave trouble. And tomorrow’s our 28th wedding anniversary.

I’m frenzied, grasping for air. Even so, I’m unafraid. Either that or there’s not any room in my psyche or heart to pon-

der that my life dangles in the mercy of my spouse’s hands.

Now, those hands, forming into an unlikely fist, glide into the pocket above my navel, harden and drive in, powerfully, and again.

Suddenly, ever so suddenly and gloriously, this restaurant is chosen as the scene of a miracle — yes, a darned-tootin’ miracle. I actually feel a food clot, or whatever the bugaboo is, dislodge gently, and admit a heavenly hiss of oxygen.

I want to fall to my knees, thank God, and also the 90-year-old American doctor, Henry Heimlich, for that mag-nificent maneuver of his.

And, absolutely, thank my irreplaceable mate, to whom, tradition insists, I’m now com-mitted to protect for life. Such a happy ending. She showed me moves I didn’t know she had.

Jim Aasen has always followed music’s road, but he’s never let it keep him from his family

By Mary TaTkoOf TargeT PublicaTiOns

Jim Aasen doesn’t expect anything miraculous to happen when he picks up his guitar and starts to sing at Royal Plaza Care Center in Lewiston.

But he knows anything is pos-

sible.In the mid 1990s, Aasen’s

mother had a stroke that left her unable to speak. A couple of years later, at a family reunion, everyone was gathered around the table when Jim began the first few lines of “You Are My Sunshine,” and something amaz-ing happened.

“All of the sudden, my mother started singing,” Aasen recalls.

She finished the song, smil-ing and laughing as she realized what she was doing. It was a remarkable example, Aasen said, of the power of music.

He often thinks of that moment when he plays for residents of local nursing homes.

The folks he plays for, he said, might not even acknowl-edge his presence at first, but ultimately he always gets a reac-tion. Sometimes it’s the tapping of a foot, sometimes just a single tear.

He typically plays for an hour, which gives him time to tell sto-ries and visit with the audience throughout the set.

“Jim’s got a very easy way about himself on stage,” his wife, Linda, said.

“I kinda BS with them a little bit,” he admitted.

“He’s very humble about it,” family friend Sharon Farris said of Aasen’s performing.

But to many of the nursing home residents he plays for, Aasen, 67, is a star. “They just love him,” Farris said. “They think he’s just a hunka hunka burning love.”

Erika Mee, activities director for Royal Plaza Care Center and Retirement Center, agreed.

“He has his own little fan club when he comes over here,” Mee said.

Aasen started playing at Royal Plaza about four years ago at the suggestion of local music studio owner Bodie Dominguez. Since then, he has added regular gigs at Juniper Meadows, Guardian Angel Homes and the Veterans Home.

He has long felt a connec-tion with the older generation of music lovers. “I used to play for old folks wherever old folks happened to hang out,” he said.

The music he plays, traditional country and western, has special

appeal for those who grew up in the first half of the 20th century. Audience members at retire-ment centers often sing along to the cowboy tunes he covers, songs younger audiences might be hearing for the first time.

While mainstream coun-try music has taken a turn toward pop in the past few decades, Aasen stays closer to the genre’s roots, focusing on the storytelling and poetry of traditional country and west-ern music. He’s a member of the Cowboy Poets of Idaho, Western Music Association, Academy of Western Artists and Palouse Country Cowboy Poets Association, traveling through-out the West to cowboy gather-ings and contests.

Music and travel always have been part of Aasen’s life.

The oldest of 10 children, he grew up with a guitar-play-ing father and several musically inclined siblings, though they never performed as a family.

His first love was the guitar, then when he was about 12 years old his father insisted he start singing.

“I wanted to play lead gui-tar in the worst way,” Aasen remembers. But he came to real-ize there were others with more talent for playing; his gift was his voice.

His first “pay for play” was in Bemidgi, Minn., when he was 14 years old, in a bar inside a dairy barn. “I would have liked to have heard what we sounded like when I was 14 years old,” he said.

His family had moved from Montana to Minnesota when he was a child, but Aasen never stopped missing his home state, and when he was 16 or 17 years old he got on a train with a little electric guitar and returned to Montana, where he lived with an uncle who also was a musi-cian.

He was still in Montana, get-ting by playing at local watering holes, when a brother two years his junior convinced him to try bronc riding.

Playing guitar with an ach-ing, bruised body wasn’t much

fun, but rodeo did afford him the opportunity to meet some interesting people, not the least of whom was cowboy humorist and cartoonist Ace Reid.

After hearing him play, Reid invited Aasen to fly back to Texas with him. There was a group of promising young musi-cians getting started in the west-ern music scene there, Reid told him, and he guaranteed him he’d introduce him to all the right people, that he’d fit right in.

Aasen shakes his head when he recounts the names of the artists Reid was talking about: Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe and Jerry Jeff Walker.

He’ll never know what life might have held had he accept-ed Reid’s invitation to fly to Texas and be introduced to these men who would become country music superstars. But

he can look back at that moment content with the life he’s lived since, a life graced with love and family, touched by heart-break and loss — and filled, always, with music.

Aasen continued to sing and play guitar, but he found anoth-er career in construction.

Or, as he put it: “To sup-plement my music income, I worked iron.”

He traveled all over the Midwest, the West Coast and into Canada, finally settling in Clarkston where he joined the Iron Workers Local 14 in 1974, retiring in 1999.

He and Linda have eight chil-dren between them, a blended family that came about after the death of Aasen’s first wife, Charlotte, in 1987. They travel frequently to see their children and grandchildren and Aasen’s family back in Minnesota.

In the mid 1980s, he had quit

seeking jobs with bands and mostly played just “for family and fun.”

But in 2003, he was playing at what is now known as the Lee Earl Memorial Scholarship Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Lewiston when he and a friend were invited to perform at the event’s Friday night show.

That experience kicked off a new era in his music career.

He was asked to provide a demo compact disc of his work, has since recorded two CDs at Dominguez’s Twin River Recording Studio and is work-ing on a third. He sells the CDs at the 10 to 12 shows he plays each year in Idaho, Washington, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Northern California and as far away as Arizona, where three years ago he played at the Crystal Palace in Tombstone.

“You meet so many neat peo-ple,” Linda said.

In April at the Columbia

River Cowboy Gathering in Kennewick, where Aasen won second place in the Cowboy Idol competition, he met Jimmy Fortune, formerly of the Statler Bros., who invited him to per-form with him on the event’s main stage.

Though he usually performs solo, Aasen has done a few shows with local singer Shiloh Sharrard who, along with Dominguez, has partnered with him to put on an annual concert for the residents at Royal Plaza.

And, brushes with celebrity included, those performances at Royal Plaza and other retire-ment homes clearly are what music is all about for Aasen.

“We’re very fortunate to have somebody like Jim who can share what he does with the folks here at Royal Plaza,” Mee said. “He’s got a pretty big heart, and we appreciate it.”


By Judith Grahamof the ChiCago tribune

Important changes to Medicare supplemental poli-cies — also known as Medigap plans — took effect in June. Millions of older Americans buy the plans each year to help pay

medical bills. Vicki Gottlich, an attorney at The Center for Medicare Advocacy (medi-careadvocacy.org), described the new developments. Her remarks have been edited.

Q: What are Medigap plans and how do they work?

A: Medigap plans work in tandem with traditional Medicare. The plans cover expenses that seniors might face under Medicare, including co-payments, premiums and deductibles.

For instance, this year Medicare charges a $1,100 deductible for hospital care and a $96.40 monthly premium for physicians’ services. (Wealthier seniors pay a higher premium.) Medigap kicks in only when a service is authorized by Medicare. These plans don’t cover expenses associated with Medicare drug plans or HMO-style Medicare Advantage plans.

About 17 percent of Medicare’s 46 million mem-bers have Medigap plans, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Q: The government took strong steps to regulate Medigap plans in the 1990s. Can you explain what hap-pened then?

A: After numerous problems surfaced, the government decid-ed to certify policies, establish enrollment periods and create standard benefit packages.

Originally, there were 10 standard Medigap plans but that expanded over time. The plans are identified by letter. Plan A has a basic set of benefits; other plans include those core ben-efits but add extra benefits and offer different fee structures. Standardizing plans made it

easier for seniors to understand what they were buying and shop for policies that best met their needs.

Q: What changes to Medigap plans are now being implemented?

A: As of June 1, four stan-dard plans (H, I, J and E) have been eliminated. The plans provided benefits now available under Medicare’s prescription drug program or became outdat-ed because of other changes.

Meanwhile, two new stan-dard plans — M and N — are now available. Both require seniors to pay more when they seek medical care but offer lower premiums.

Plan M covers 50 percent of Medicare’s deductible for hospital care; Plan N covers 100 percent. Under Plan N, members will pay up to $20 each time they see a doctor and up to $50 for every visit to the emergency room. Neither plan covers deductibles associated with physicians’ services.

Altogether, 10 Medigap plans are now available, compared with 12 previously.

Q: What else has changed?A: A new benefit for people

who receive hospice or respite care has been added to all Medigap plans as of June 1. Because Medicare is now pay-ing for preventive services for seniors, this benefit has been excluded from plans. Also

dropped have been “at home recovery” benefits, which were offered by selected plans but rarely used.

Q: Will this affect people who already have a Medigap plan? Can they keep the plan they have?

A: Yes, people with Medigap can keep their coverage. As long as you pay your premiums, these policies must be renewed by your insurer. The benefits will remain unchanged and poli-cies no longer available after June 1 will remain in force.

If you have an existing Medigap plan but shift to a new plan, medical underwriting may apply in certain circumstances. Insurance agents can sell you a new policy only if it replaces the existing one.

Q: If I want to switch, when can I sign up for a new plan?

A: In the 30 days after your birthday, you can change plans without undergoing a new health evaluation. Generally, you can only substitute a new plan with the same level of benefits as your previous plan. Not all plans are available in all states. If you’re looking at a new plan, be sure you under-stand how premiums are set and if they’ll increase as you age. Consider the company offering the policy: Is it reliable? Does it have good customer relations?

Q: Will the changes affect the cost of Medigap plans?

A: Possibly. Existing plans may raise premiums over time if they lose members. Insurers may charge lower prices for new policies with higher deductibles and more substan-tial cost sharing.

Q: Is it easy to compare Medigap plans?

A: It’s very easy. Medicare publishes charts that show what is covered under each plan, and states generally publish information about the poli-cies sold in their areas. People with computer access can go to medicare.gov. Enter “Medigap”

Q: What if I have more questions?

A: Medicare has a very good publication titled “2010: Choosing a Medigap Policy.” It’s available at medicare.gov or by calling 800-Medicare (800-633-4227).

Each state has a State Health Insurance Assistance Program that can provide information as well; find contact informa-

tion at shiptalk.org or by call-ing 800-Medicare. Your state insurance department also is a source of information about companies that sell Medigap policies.

Q: I can’t afford a Medigap plan. Do I have options?

A: So-called Medicare Savings Programs provide assistance to people with lim-ited incomes and resources. The programs pay the Part B pre-mium for physicians’ services, and one also pays cost-sharing fees under Medicare. People deemed eligible also automati-cally qualify for low-income subsidies for Medicare’s drug program. Ask your state health insurance assistance program for more information.

HACKENSACK N.J.

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Entrepreneurs with an eye on the aging demographic are start-ing up businesses to capitalize on the growing senior citizen population.

The need for services is clear from their own experiences, gov-ernment statistics and in their own neighborhoods. However, finding customers remains a challenge.

“I know the road that the families go down,” said Patricia O’Hora, a registered nurse. In December, she opened a senior-focused day care center, Senior Connections LLC in Waldwick, N.J., after spending three years as a home health caregiver in nearby towns. “People are really in a crisis of what to do with

their elderly family member,” she said.

A crisis that will likely wors-en. In 2007, the U.S. Census Bureau reported 12.5 percent of America’s population was 65 and older. By 2030, that is expected to jump to 19.6 percent.

Many start-up companies that have been launched in the past two years are in demand because older parents need regular help. Their children, often parents themselves, are trying to avoid using nursing homes.

Census statistics and situations of adult children have motivated entrepreneurs to buy franchises that provide home health care aides. Six franchises of Gurnee, Ill.-based BrightStar Healthcare opened in northern New Jersey, where the elderly population is steadily growing, since 2009. A franchisee’s initial invest-ment ranges from $102,483 to

$183,793, according to the com-pany’s website.

Jerry Heit and his wife, Renee, opened a home health-care fran-chise, ComForcare Home Care, in Hackensack, N.J., in February 2009 mainly based on their reading of census data. Howard Sislin opened his franchise in Wayne, N.J., in September for the same reason.

“It reinforced that folks who are staying at home are an older population,” said Heit. “And we believe the need for this kind of service has grown and is grow-ing.”

O’Hora opened her business after seeing the needs as a home health caregiver.

“These people don’t have any socialization, no stimulation,” said O’Hora.

Amy Fuchs, a licensed clini-cal social worker, had seen such an increase of younger senior patients who had fallen at home coming into the reha-bilitation center she worked at in Manhattan. She started The

Elder Expert LLC in Upper Saddle River, N.J., in 2008.

Fuchs now helps families find rehabilitation, assisted-living facilities or local senior centers, assists them in understanding Medicare and Medicaid rules, and helps write health-care prox-ies on future care preferences such as advance directives. She also will check in on home health aides for distant families.

Despite the census data, find-ing customers is a challenge for the start-ups. Renee Heit, who

co-owns the ComForcare fran-chise, compares selling home health-care services to selling real estate for 25 years.

“You’re asking for business here as well but it’s not quite as straightforward,” said Heit.

“This requires much more of building relationships with people who become referral sources.”

Referral sources, said Heit, are social workers at rehabilitation

centers, hospital staff who rec-ommend home health-care agen-cies and assisted-living facilities. Other sources include elder-care attorneys and doctors.

A tactic Sislin has begun is co-sponsoring continuing edu-cation seminars for social work-ers to earn credits to help him start relationships.

John Salomone has just start-ed tapping potential custom-ers for when he opens Caring Transitions of North Central New Jersey later this month in Morristown, N.J., to help seniors reduce their belongings before moving.

He participated in a busi-ness-to-business event at Cedar Crest’s continuing care complex in Pequannock to build referral

sources among management and residents because buyers have to pare before moving in.

“If you’re dealing with seniors in a community struc-ture, they talk to one another and form their own alliances,” said Salomone, otherwise, he said, “you’re not going to get their cooperation.”

The independent start-ups are finding they have to learn the ropes themselves and be creative.

Kate McLaughlin started a senior-centered driving service, BandWagon LLC in Franklin Lakes, N.J., last December, after hearing from town officials and church members that the elderly needed rides to local places.

She has 20 regular custom-ers and does five to eight rides a day, but believes she’s not serving enough people. What’s worked best has been a comple-mentary arrangement driving clients to and from O’Hora’s center.

O’Hora also thinks there’s more out there than her eight to 12 regular clients. An attempt to buy a direct mail list of seniors failed when the business selling the list didn’t like wording on her literature.

Entrepreneurs say after finding referral sources, the next chal-lenge is to cultivate their trust.

Patricia Preztunik, who opened BrightStar-Bergen County in September 2009 in River Edge, N.J., is sponsoring an upcoming Alzheimer’s Walk and sits on the boards for health-related organi-zations in Bergen County.

“Local reputation in this case matters more than anything, so you have to be engaged locally,” said Preztunik. “When people see how you actually work, part of the judgment they form is whether they will give your name out as a referral.”

Many of the start-up own-ers were caretakers and/or deci-sion-makers themselves such as BrightStar Skylands franchisee Bob Bongiorno and O’Hora, who both had relatives afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease. They believe that will help them gain trust.

By SuSan Schellof The Peninsula GaTeway,

GiG harbor, wash.

GIG HARBOR, WASH — Retirement communities are nothing like they used to be. The Lodge at Mallard’s Landing in Gig Harbor looks more like a vacation resort than a hospice-style facility from the past.

The large entryway features a grand staircase, plenty of wood-work and a fire burning in a mas-sive stone fireplace. The lodge is adorned with the dark forest green and brown tones of the Pacific Northwest, the walls dis-play classy artwork, and sooth-ing classical music fills the air.

Executive Director Mike Swanson said the relaxing atmosphere is what the com-munity, managed by Frontier Management, wants to portray.

“We want it to be comfort-able and warm,” Swanson said. “The kind of place that makes you think, ‘Gee, I want to sit down and read a book by the fireplace.’ ”

Swanson said he’s happy with the interest the lodge has gener-ated since it opened May 1. The lodge offers the option of inde-pendent-living cottages aside from assisted-living apartments within a hotel-like structure. Each unit is paid for on a month-to-month basis, with no buy-ins.

The cottages have fully equipped kitchens with washers and dryers and attached garag-es. The monthly rent includes housekeeping, maintenance, utilities and high-definition TV.

“This is geared toward the retiree who is tired of yard work

and maintenance and just wants to relax and enjoy the rest of their life,” Swanson said. “Our Olympic dining room is open 7 to 7 and serves a restaurant-style breakfast, lunch and dinner.”

Swanson is particularly proud of the lodge’s food service, which he believes is an impor-tant element for retirement liv-ing. Residents can enjoy one free meal a day cooked by the lodge’s resident chef, Craig Haslebacher, who recently won an award when he beat chef Bobby Flay at his own game on the Food Network’s “Iron Chef.”

The assisted-living guests can enjoy an around-the-clock licensed nurse in their residence, a fitness center, card room, total diabetic management and glu-cose monitoring, and scheduled transportation to outings, doctors’ appointments and grocery stores.

Swanson cited studies that have shown that seniors who live alone, isolated from family and friends, experience a more rapid decline in their health than those who are social. He said the community’s open dining room,

theater and cocktail lounge offer residents plenty opportunities to socialize.

“Sometimes if someone is widowed or a widower, they can become introverted, and this has a significant affect on their well-being,” Swanson said. “We want them to not stay in their apart-ments all the time. Seniors that are involved and social certainly tend to lead a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.”

Wine-and-cheese socials will be offered in the lounge, and residents eventually will be able to obtain private liquor cabinets. The lodge houses a billiards room, an arts-and-crafts room, a computer station, a hair salon and a spa.

Cottage residents also are welcome to use all of the lodge’s facilities.

Swanson said assisted-living facilities are becoming more common as the baby-boomer generation ages. He said one of the nation’s greatest generations, the World War II veterans, are

entitled to more than just shelter and health care.

“They’ve given us everything we have now,” he said. “We shouldn’t treat them any other way

than with respect and by giving them their dignity. Encouraging their independence and enable them to have their freedom of choice is the least we can do.”

for 35 years. Yet the sparks flew. And they’ve been together ever since.

“We find that all the things we loved about each other when we were young are still things we love and admire in each other now,” says Fetterly, now 71 and

living in Oakland, Calif. “I think when you have an extraordi-narily close relationship very young, you bond in a way you never can with someone you meet later in life.”

They say you never forget your first love. For many, the experience was so powerful, so pure, that reuniting, or attempt-ing to reunite, feels natural. With an ever-shrinking dating pool (or maybe it just seems that way, particularly for older

singles, looking back for love makes sense. People ask them-selves, “I wonder what he is up to?” “Will she remember me?” Whether it is a mutual friend, a school reunion or fate that brings them back together, couples have inspiring stories to tell about ending up with the one who got away.

Fetterly and Aker don’t have a perfect relationship, Fetterly says. But she loves that she doesn’t have to prove anything to Aker. “He still looks at me like that 13-year-old trying to get to sneak out on an adven-ture,” she says. “It’s warm and comforting to be back in the arms of the first boy I ever kissed.”

Not every reunion is an instant fairy tale. The past is a good place to look for love as long as you remember that caution, friendliness and nostalgia are your best tools when approach-ing an old flame, says Pepper Schwartz, a relationship expert with Perfectmatch.com. “Even if they’re single, don’t assume you know what’s going on in their life, or that their memories are the same as yours,” she says. “Maybe you forgot that there was a nasty breakup.”

Keep expectations in check. Remember that you haven’t had contact in years, if not decades, and that a person’s values and challenges can shift, she adds.

Not long ago on a fine spring dayI heard a rather young man say“Where has it gone, my childhood, And all the things I once held good?Where is the dell, to me so dear,With the frisking squirrel full of cheer?It was there, when lonely and sad, I cried.It was there that something inside me diedWhen first I learned the bitternessOf other playmates’ selfishness.I sat there for hours gazing farThe day my dog was killed by a car,And pondered long on the quirks and curls —Just why it was that I liked girls.I cannot go back. I’ll never returnEven though the yearning will burnForever deep within. For I knowThat never again will the squirrel showIts bright black eyes and whisking tail.The dell would be ugly and I would failTo see its beauty. Disgust would growWithin me. Where, oh where did it go?”And then, as only maturity can, I longed to give him his Talisman.

My dell where I went when my time was freeWas between the house and the lilac tree. Oh, how swiftly the hours goLost in the tale of Ivanho.It was there that I nursed a well-skinned kneeAnd plied my six dollies with cake and tea.I pretended the Dragon Lady to be —Beloved idol of young Terry Lee.It was there that something inside me died

When first I learned omnipotent DadHad not all the knowledge there was to be had.I found that his feet were as easily brokenAs my immature heart, or some clay token!I could not go back, no, never returnEven though the yearning would burn Forever deep within. For the lilac’s scentWould be like a fabric, the warp soiled and rent.Where had it gone, my childhood, And all the things I once held good?

And then I grew older, as people do.The truths that were dear I met anew.I found them in faith in that supreme powerWhich made this Earth and brought it to flower.In every wondrous and varying hueOf leafy green trees against a sky of blue.It was there in my first-born’s innocent faceAs he looked on a spider’s maze of laceGlistening with dew in the sun’s first ray.Heralding anew the bright coming of day.Chopin said it in each piece he wrote,In every measure, each bar and each note.No matter how lost or despairing the criesThat pure tone of hope rises to the skies.A crescendo to Christ on a cross of dogwood.It comes to me now, my lilac tree was good.And so I say this, for I know it is true.That dell is still there — safe inside of you.

reader poetryLewistonOh, to ascend this arm of brown-grass love,Again to view our valley from above,Where, nestled in a mighty hill’s embrace,With kindred rivers marking off its space,Lies a lovely lowland place: leveed byways,Sparkling waters, and skyward highways.The valley of big catches.

From sister cities, each the other’s twin,Come summer boaters of peach-brown skin.Ground squirrels, geese and peacock larksDodge dikers biking past picnic parks.There lives a people of such noble mindIt’s for granted God’s laws be got behind.Wheat hauler to the sea.

Where children watch from family porchesHeadlights descending, like alpine torches,From frigid highlands, their year near done,To our winter sun, shorts, the salmon run.Once, panners sought what Sir Midas kissed.Spread before us is the gold they missed.Chief Joseph’s lode.

I doubt there can be another seat so blestAs the scene observed from this lofty crest.Surely earth presents no higher degreeOf what earthly beauty was meant to be.Come. Be the sky with me. Take off your hat.For, oh, down there! Would you look at that!The place where we were born.

— Dan J. Williams, 80, Lewiston

thingsThings, things, things,what will I do with my things?My cupboards are full,my closets are full,there is not an inch to spare;I have no place to put my things,there’s just not anywhere.My shop is so full I can’t get inI organize but I still can’t win.I’ll have to rent a storage shed,I’m going crazy in my head.

Things, things, things,what will I do with my things?Stuff, stuff, stuff,what will I do with my stuff?What will they do when I die?After a little cry, they will say to themselves,“Oh, my.” things, things, things,what will we do with these things?Stuff, stuff, stuff, O, so much stuff!Yard sale!

Red SunsetBrightest red bathes my big front doorwayAs sunset glow reflects this winter day.No seaside view is mine to contemplate,Just homes across the street, old and sedate.Each polished window looks like sweet red wine.High pink clouds float above crimson skyline.Children have gone home from nearby playground,Leaving bright toys for sunset to surround.Long shadows soon come creeping over town,As brilliant sunset fades and closes down.
