Thought for the month“Nothing separates the generations more

than music. By the time a child is 8 or 9, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrasti-nation and weird clothes.”

— Bill Cosby

WHO AM I?I was born July 1, 1934, in Toledo, Ohio.The character I played in a long-running TV series had many things in common with me, such as my heritage and birthplace.My wife, Joy Ann Richards, and I have been married for 50 years and have two children.

Mcclatchy-tribune news service

Q: How many parts to Medi-care are there?

A: There are four parts to Medi-care:l Part A (hospital insurance)

helps pay for inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing care, hospice care and other services.l Part B (medical insurance)

helps pay for doctors’ fees, out-patient hospital visits, and other medical services and supplies that are not covered by Part A.l Part C (Medicare Advantage)

plans, available in some areas, al-low you to choose to receive all of your health care services through a provider organization. These plans may help lower your costs of receiving medical services, or you may get extra benefits for an additional monthly fee. You must

have both Parts A and B to enroll in Part C.l Part D (prescription drug

coverage) is voluntary and the costs are paid for by the monthly premiums of enrollees and Medi-care. Unlike Part B in which you are automatically enrolled and must opt out if you do not want it, with Part D you have to opt in by filling out a form and enrolling in an approved plan.

More information may be found in our publication Medi-care at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10043.html or by visiting www.medicare.gov.

———Q: I found out my daughter and

I submitted incorrect informa-tion about my resources when she helped me complete my Applica-tion for Help with Medicare Pre-scription Drug Plan Costs. How can I get my application amended now to show the correct amount?

A: You can call (800) 772-1213 and let us know. Or you can con-tact your local Social Security of-fice by using our office locator at www.socialsecurity.gov/locator. Information on your application will be matched with data from other federal agencies. If there is a discrepancy that requires verifica-tion, we will contact you.

———Q: My wife doesn’t have

enough work under Social Securi-ty to qualify for Social Security or Medicare. But I am fully insured and eligible. Can she qualify on my record?

A: Yes. The question you’ve raised applies to husbands as well as wives. Even if your spouse has never worked under Social Secu-rity, she can, at full retirement age, receive a benefit equal to one-half of your full retirement amount. Your wife is eligible for reduced spouse’s benefits as early as age 62, as long as you are already re-ceiving benefits. If your spouse will receive a pension for work not covered by Social Security such as government employment, the amount of his or her Social Se-curity benefits on your record may be reduced.

For more information, take a look at the fact sheet, Govern-ment Pension Offset, Publica-tion No. 05-10007 at www.social security.gov/pubs/10007.pdf. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov and select the “Retirement” tab.

———Q: Why is there a five-month

waiting period for Social Security disability benefits?

A: The law states Social Secu-rity disability benefits can be paid only after you have been disabled continuously throughout a period of five-full-calendar months. So-cial Security disability benefits begin with the sixth full month after the date your disability be-gan. You are not able to receive benefits for any month during the waiting period. Learn more at our website: www.socialsecurity.gov/disability.

It seems everyone was rack-ing up debt before the 2007 re-cession hit. But once the econ-omy tanked, consumers started paying it down. That is, except those who are age 60 and older, according to FICO, the credit score company.

In fact, consumers in that age group saw the steepest decline in credit scores. Back in 2005, 55.4 percent of consumers older than 60 had healthy FICO scores of 760 or higher. That dropped to 51.6 percent last year.

Debt is a factor in credit scores. FICO found debt among those 60 and older rose from $49,330 to $55,200 in the five years after October 2007, a nearly 12 percent increase.

FICO cites the reasons be-hind this:l Older workers who lost

jobs didn’t find new gigs quick-ly and relied more on credit cards to get them through.l Many older workers, too,

were forced into early retire-ment before they had adequate-ly built up a nest egg. Again, credit cards came to the rescue.l Older consumers took ad-

vantage of low interest rates, borrowing more for cars and houses.

l And older adults added to their student loan debt, either borrowing to get retraining for themselves or co-signing a loan for a younger student.

In comparison, younger con-

sumers decreased their credit card debt, and 18- to 29-year-olds improved their credit scores.

Quality Care For Your Loved One


By Mary TaTkoTargeT PublicaTions

When Tullos Warren started barbering, there wasn’t a kid in town who didn’t start school with a fresh haircut and a new pair of shoes, the lewiston barber said.

“back then, about a week or so before school started they’d just drive us crazy in the barbershop, you know, kids,” Warren said. “any more, you don’t even hardly see a rush when school starts.”

seeing the back-to-school haircut fade away is one of the few changes he’s seen in nearly 60 years of barbering, he said.

“a lot of guys say ‘Man, you’ve seen a lot of change in the barber business, huh?’ and i say i’ve seen the hair change but, for me, i ain’t changed nothin’. You know, i cut hair just like i did in ’54 when i went to school.”

He said he does “regular haircuts,” flat tops and military haircuts.

“i never did mess with any of that long hair stuff,” he said.

Warren, 76, has been a barber since he was 17½ years old.

“i ain’t had another job,” he said.as a teenager, his best friends were broth-

ers whose father often talked about what a good career barbering would be. neither of the friends became barbers, but the idea of steady work that didn’t involve picking cot-ton or milking goats appealed to Warren.

as soon as he finished 10th grade, the minimum require-ment, he enrolled in barber school; after graduating, he started out by work-ing an 18-month apprenticeship.

“i wanted to get a barbershop so bad i could taste it,” he said.

but he knew he’d likely be drafted into the u.s. army so when he heard a cousin who was home on leave from the u.s. navy talk about being the bar-

ber on a ship he decided to volunteer, get his service out of the way and see the coun-try — all while practicing his new trade.

From 1955 to 1957, he was one of 11 barbers working on an aircraft carrier, he said, keeping 20-minute appointments in a room just wide enough to accommodate the chair.

“i went in for four years but i lucked out and got out after i served two years, two months and 19 days,” he said. “i got out on a Thursday, went to work Monday at a barbershop and have had a barbershop ever since.”

Though he’s lived in idaho more than 40 years, and california before that, Warren retains the southern accent of his child-hood. When he was about a year old, his family moved from his birthplace in Missis-sippi to louisiana, where he lived until he was 15.

in 1952, his family moved to california, near Fresno, a move Warren didn’t see as an improvement since their livelihood of growing cotton didn’t change, it just got harder.

“Then we had to irrigate it,” he said. “it was a lot more work in california than it was in louisi-ana.”

He disliked california from the time he moved there until he left 20 years later to move to idaho, he said.

A cut and a shave: No frills no fussA barbershop, like the one seen on ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’ is hard to come by these days, unless you’re in Lewiston

Tribune/Steve Hanks

ABOVE: Haircuts are still just $10 at Warren’s Barber Shop in Lewiston. BELOW LEFT and RIGHT: Tullos Warren has used many of the same tools of the trade through his six-decade-plus career, such as the straight razor and leather strop, along with clippers.

“Every year I kept tellin’ my family, you know, this is my last year in this hellhole — I’m gettin’ out of here,” he recalled. “It got to be a family joke.”

He said he thought about moving to Oregon, but so many people at the barbershop talked about moving there he figured it wouldn’t be any better than staying in California. So he picked Idaho, where in 1972 he took over a Kooskia shop from a retiring barber.

He worked in Kooskia 14 years before moving to Lewiston in 1986. He had a barbershop on Main Street in Lewiston, where he employed three other barbers. In 1991, he started cutting hair out of a shop inside his Normal Hill home where he lives with his partner of nearly 30 years, Janice.

Warren doesn’t take appointments. If he’s busy, customers wait or stop back in later. On a slow day, he works on his classic cars, a 1950 Ford, a ’59 El Camino and a ’68 Mustang.

Through the years, his prices have risen some, but very gradually, he said. A haircut is $10. A shave is $4.

“Down in California, the state set the minimum — they told you what you had to charge,” he said. “I never did like that; I figured a guy ought to be able to do what you want to.”

“The other day I was telling a guy, ‘Here you get a $10 haircut every

month, that’s $120 a year.’ That guy said, ‘I never thought about it that way — my wife spends that much in a beauty shop in one trip.’ ”

Warren uses the same three models of clippers he’s used since barber school and a straight razor he hones on a leather strop affixed to his work station.

“I’m about the only one anymore that shaves around the neck and nobody else here in the valley at all gives a face shave,” he said.

This classic treatment is something customers seek out and come back for. One of his first Idaho clients was a man from Kooskia who now travels to Lew-iston for every haircut, he said.

“He absolutely won’t let anybody cut his hair except me,” Warren said. “He told me, ever since ’72, since I come to Kooskia, he’s never missed a haircut with me.”

Another loyal client from Joseph, Ore., he said, drove to Lewiston via Walla Walla for a haircut one time when Rattlesnake Grade was washed out.

He said he has customers from Pome-roy, Moscow, Grangeville, White Bird, Riggins and Kooskia, among other places.

Though many of his clients are regu-lars, new faces of a variety of ages come through his door.

“I get a lot from the college over here and high school kids,” he said.

He doesn’t see a lot of small children, but it’s not unusual for a grandfather to bring in a grandson, as happened recently when he was asked to fix a 2½-year-old’s home haircut before pictures were taken.

“He brought him in and we wrassled with him,” Warren said. “He was a little character, but we got ’er cut.”

What he doesn’t do is women’s hair, although a few times in Kooskia he had female customers who came into the shop and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Customers often assume his sur-name is his first name and that’s OK with him, Warren said. His first name, Tullos (Rhymes with Dulles, as in the airport), is a common family name in the South, he said, though he’s not sure how he ended up with it as a first name.

When he got out of barber school, he got a traditional holder with his first name on it for displaying his license on a barbershop wall.

“And people just drove me crazy,” he said.

They couldn’t remember the name, or how to pronounce it, so he got a new license holder with the name “Warren”

Tribune/Steve Hanks

Tullos Warren gives his customers old fashioned service, offering simple military and flat-top hair cuts and straight-razor shaves for a small charge. And he does it all in his single-chair shop located

in his Normal Hill home in Lewiston.

Ahead Of His TimeHe shared with us his wildest dreamsAnd now this world his work esteems.A graphic man

in word and deedHe saw beyond — the tiny seed.His vision knew no boundaries

He magnified what man can’t see.He cared for others,

was deprivedA lonely man,

withdrawn inside.Toward the end

chose death insteadHis work reflects what’s

just been said.A folk song tells us of his art

This man — Vincent — touched our hearts.

Rebecca Whited, 67, Clarkston

Love WinsLove is strange and awesome, for when the seeds of kindness

and goodness are sown.That is indeed what you will get

back into your life.And if you sow deceit and hat that too is what you will get.Hate cannot become love,but love can become hate.And when you do good,

that goodness remains —but when you turn that

goodness into bad, you begin to reap the bad.

For the two are not the same.Look into your garden

what do you see?Is it full of beautiful flowers,

or have the thorns and thistles overtaken the beauty

of the flowers?If you see

the thorns and thistles, then you have taken

the beauty away forever.When your flowers stay and are of great beauty,

love wins!Yvonne Carrie, 69, Lewiston

Caring For DaddyBending down

I lean over the bed and lie, with a smile on my face,

dropping a tear on your gown, I try.

To bring you comfort, hours fly,

for 65 years

no one’s taken your place.From lots of experience,

I spy some blood on your gown right by where you

flung your arm (yes, a trace).Into the bed — do not cry.

I will mend all the places you hurt,

I lie!Force a smile on my face.“I always have, haven’t I?”

You tell me, “Yes dear,” you also lie,

when you love someone — this is the case.

You must endure — keep your faith nearby.

From lots of experience I try.This time it’s different —

can’t help it, I cry.

It’s hard to be always the one who is strong.

If I said I’d do it again, don’t listen — I lie!

Helen Jonutz, 86, Lewiston

Extended HandYour warm friendly hand

may touch a need.A wrinkled aged hand which is slowly freed.

Her gentle smile says her heart is well pleased,

as your hand is haltingly squeezed.

Her eyesight is dimmed, she knows your voice,

your fond hello makes her ever rejoice.

She keeps your warm hand

enfolded as you chat.Your extended hand

will bring joy, remember that.

Lucille Magnuson, 93, Moscow

The FishLoaded up the boat, headed for the lake,

fish are biting they say, it’s your limit you can take.

Could hardly wait, fishing gear is ready,

have lots of bait.Boats were lined up,

I had to wait.We got into the water headed

for my favorite spot where the fishing was hot.

Cast out my line, ready for a bite,

a jiggle and a fight, landing one has to be

done just right.My pole jiggled and jerked,

worked it in excitedly, he flashed up

through the water, a big one I could see,

he was giving me a fight.Just as my friend dropped the net, he threw my hook and disappeared

in the water’s light.Watched him

as he disappeared, swimming with all his might.

All at once up he jumped high in the air,

before he left again, he smiled with delight,

you can believe me, to it I swear.

This isn’t just a story nor is it a fisherman’s lie.

I’m glad you wasn’t around to see a grown man cry.

Eva Herring, 83, Lewiston

Jean KleinertJean Kleinert, 65, of Lewiston, is the July Senior Vol-

unteer of the Month for the WA-ID Volunteer Center.Volunteer work: She has been volunteering through

the RSVP program since 2002. In that time she has given around 6,000 hours, and has earned many cer-tificates and pins honoring her for her service. An-other distinguishing milestone is she has earned the 4-gallons-of-blood-donated pin from the American Red Cross. Kleinert volunteered at Community Ac-tion Partnership for about 10 years before the funding for the program she was helping with dried up. She has also volunteered for the YWCA for about 10 years writing thank you notes to donors, keeping the mailing list up to date, helping with the fundraising and any-thing else she can do. She began her volunteer career at Headstart where she did data entry. Through the years she has also volunteered with the America Reads program, helping first-graders at Orchards Elementary with their reading skills, at the Lewiston Library, Twin

County United Way and at the Lewiston

Civic Theater.C a r e e r :

Kleinert was a s tay -at-home mom for the most part. Once her chil-

dren started school, she be-

gan helping out at the schools and

worked part time for the church in the of-fice. She was also a Cub Scout leader. Kleinert says she knew, while in col-

lege, she would want to be at home with her children when she had them, so she got a bachelor’s degree in business administra-tion, so she could eas-ily enter the workforce

later, should she choose to. That degree has been useful through the years in her vol-unteer work and the work she did for the church.

Family: She was raised in Bremerton, Wash. She met her husband Bill in Bremer-ton while he was stationed there with the U.S. Navy. The two of them got degrees from Washington State University in Pullman. They have two children, a son who lives in Arizona and a daughter who lives in West-ern Washington. They also have one grand-son. The couple moved to Lewiston from Sitka, Alaska, in 2000. They chose Lewiston because it’s about half-way between where she grew up and Western Montana, where her husband grew up.

Hobbies: Kleinert’s hobbies are read-ing, writing letters and quilting. Quilting is somewhat of a new hobby for her and she is

part of a quilting group at Grace Lutheran Church.She told the Tribune making friends is one of the

benefi ts she has got from volunteering.“� at’s one of the benefi ts I’ve got personally from

volunteering. We tutors sit out in the hallway and school was ending and one of the other ladies who volunteers came up to myself and another (volunteer) and said, ‘Would you like to get together during these blocks of time we have free?’ and so we did and that was 10 years ago.” Kleinert said. She calls this friend her “Friday friend,” and they are still getting together.

When asked her favorite part of volunteering, Klein-ert replied: “I’ve been asked that before. Why do I do it, you mean?” she asked. “Two reasons — one, it gets me up in the morning and I get to meet new people, you know, and have a purpose. � e other reason is that even though the stuff that I do is of low importance, I am freeing up the people who work there to do what’s im-portant. And the places I work are all nonprofi ts; they help other people who need help. So that’s my contribu-tion to the community — is helping those who help.”

O R DOOR IN OUROO

By Marni JaMesonOrlandO Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. — Scientists at Sanford-Burnham Medical Re-search Institute have discovered a combination of two FDA-ap-proved drugs that appears to stop — and possibly reverse — the destructive changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

By combining two widely used drugs, nitroglycerin and meman-tine, researchers created a third drug: NitroMemantine. In animal models, the hybrid appears to restore synapses — the connec-tions between neurons — lost in the disease process, according to findings from a 10-year study published this week in the Pro-ceedings of the National Acad-emy of Sciences.

The new experimental drug may be the first to restore brain synapses lost during the progres-sion of Alzheimer’s disease, said Dr. Stuart Lipton, professor and director of Sanford-Burnham’s neuroscience, aging and stem-cell research center, and the study’s lead researcher.

“These findings actually mean that you might be able to inter-cede not only early but also a bit later,” said Lipton, whose team studied the drug combination in mice and in brain cells derived from human stem cells.

The new combo drug — devel-

oped by researchers at Sanford-Burnham’s LaJolla, Calif., center — is part of an overall effort fo-cused at its Orlando, Fla., sister facility that explores ways scien-tists can “re-purpose” already ap-proved drugs in new ways to treat disease.

“The potential of drug re-purposing is enormous and will accelerate the pace of drug dis-covery,” said Dr. Steve Gardell, senior director of scientific re-sources at Sanford-Burnham in Lake Nona.

To get a new drug approved for use in humans is a tremendous accomplishment, he said. Once a

drug makes it that far, it should be leveraged for other uses.

Drugs are typically developed for one purpose; however, “ob-serving how they act in humans can open our eyes to other, possi-bly more valuable, uses,” Gardell said.

Alzheimer’s disease progres-sively destroys the connections among neurons, leading to mem-ory loss and cognitive decline.

In the U.S., an estimated 5.4 million Americans have Al-zheimer’s, and as many as 16 million Americans will by 2050,

The summer season has arrived. There are birds in the trees, boats on the river and no sign of the winter that has passed.

Life is all about change. We grow, change and have new experiences. We will never be the same tomorrow as we were yesterday.

Many changes fill us with excite-

ment. We begin as children and transition to adulthood. We graduate from school, move out on our own, and soon we see our children grow, become adults and have children of their own.

Some changes are more difficult to accept. Eventually, we realize we have been aging and it is harder to do the things we love doing, especially if we face illness and disability. We hope to lead a healthy and active lifestyle and remain physi-cally vital for many decades, but changes happen to us all.

Often, people in my practice suffer accidents which occur because they have not accepted and accommodated for the changes they have experienced. Sometimes there will be an injury because someone did not have the assistance they needed. Fortunately, we can become wiser with time and make sure we have appropriate support.

We can take an exercise class, install safety equipment and speak to our families, health care providers and com-munity support organizations to help us stay safe and happy. Sometimes, we need more help at home or a transition to living with family or an adult assisted living center.

One of the most difficult things to accept is we will all transition from this life. Mortality is difficult to accept and death can seem frightening to us and for our loved ones, yet, it can remain a goal to be safe and supported until our very last days.

Ask openly about advance directives, assistance services and hospice and palliative care organizations. End-of-life workers are committed to continuing the goals of safety, dignity and support through the last days of life and aiding you, your families and loved ones in the last transition we all will make.

Don’t wait until transitions are upon you to learn about the support and assistance available to you. Make planning for the future a part of your regular discussions with family and health care providers, no matter where you are in the chang-ing seasons of your life. Enjoy this day we are given and all the days you will have.

It would be unique to have nine people left from a large class who graduated in 1946, but to have nine left from a class of 16 is amazing.

When this class was attending Asotin High School their principal told them they were the “damndest class” he had come across and after four years with them he

would have to retire. “And he did, too,” Jesse Bly said laughing.

Not only is it an amazing tale that more than half the class is still knock-ing around, the true astonishment comes when you fi nd out seven members of this class meet once a month for lunch. On the day I caught up with them there were four of the class members and a couple from other classes having lunch together at Timber Creek Grill Buffet in Lewiston. Bly and his wife Audrey, who was a few years behind the 1946 class, attend the lunches regularly. Joyce Trent Von-son, Adaline Taylor Hendrixson and Tom Gatherer, were

also there for lunch, as was a 1945 Asotin class member, Margie Cox Dryden.

“It (graduation) was 67 years ago this month,” Hendrixson told me. While many have remained in the area throughout the last six-plus de-cades, a few have ventured to other places. “We even had a reunion in Craig, Colo., one year,” Gatherer told me. “One of our classmates lived there and invited us. So those of us who wanted to go did.”

“There were 16 of us and we were more like brothers and sisters. We were just family,” Bly said. “We were the closest class to ever graduate from Asotin High School,” Gatherer concurred.

The group, like almost all gradu-ating classes, started out having reunions every fi ve years, but as they aged and some died they began

having them more frequently.“They were losing too many and getting old,” Audrey Bly

said about the frequency.“We went from getting together every

fi ve years to every year and now it’s every month,” Gatherer said.

I asked them if they thought they might ever increase it to every week, to which Hendrixson replied, “Most of us don’t have the time other than once a month.” She said the group has been having the monthly

luncheons for about 10 years. They started around the time she moved back from Arizona.

“We’ve always been a very close group,” Hendrixson said of the class. “Not all of us could always make it to the reunions, but we remained close through the years.”

Hendrixson told me several of the class members attended school together starting in the fi rst-grade. Bly, Gatherer and Vonson were part of that group along with Elmer Wiggins, David Ausman, Duane Appleford, Gene Cox, Orville Reed and Jennie Giardinelli.

Hendrixson’s husband Donald, who graduated from Anatone in 1945, was also in attendance at the lunch.

They refl ected on their school days, talking about who teased whom and places they frequented like “McDonald’s,” not the Mickey D’s we’re all familiar with, this was a soda-fountain shop owned by Zula McDonald. Vonson talked about her time working there when she was in high school.

“I’d go down there every noon hour and work until about 1:30 when I’d go back to high school. … Every noon hour these two boys, they were ahead of me a class, they’d be standing outside the door and they would make a seat out of their hands and I would sit on their hands all the way down Main Street to work,” she recalled fondly.

Hendrixson joked about how Zula knew all the kids in the area and their ages, “Donald would go in there and ask her to serve him a beer, and she would say ‘No sir, you’re not of age.’ She knew exactly how old he was.”

“Those were the days,” Hendrixson said.“You know, we have fun, that’s what life’s about,” Bly said of

the unique group.

San JoSe Mercury newS

Tech companies have made hundreds of gadgets and applications for smart-phone-addicted teenagers and young professionals. But now, there’s technology just for grandparents.

New online and mobile services to help aging adults live alone in their own homes and ease the burden on their caregivers are cropping up. From in-home sensors that monitor when a senior leaves the house or takes medicine, to wireless technology that allows elderly patients to get medical treatment without leaving home, this emerging technology can dramatically improve lives for seniors and entire families, according to tech business leaders and ex-perts on aging.

Until recently, the tech in-dustry has largely ignored the elderly. Silicon Valley entre-preneurs and developers tend to be in their 20s, and many have focused only on building smartphone apps and Internet services that make life more convenient for consumers the same age, said Iggy Fanlo, co-founder of San Francisco-based Lively, a wireless tech-nology for aging adults and their caregivers. “It’s a youth-obsessed culture,” Fanlo said.

But Silicon Valley compa-nies have the chance to cre-ate technology with a greater social impact, and probably get just as rich as they would building a video game or shopping app, said David Lin-deman, director of the Center for Technology and Aging in Oakland, Calif.

“These areas may not be sexy in terms of the latest and greatest device, but they will have the broadest and lon-gest-lasting social impact,” he said.

By 2030, 20 percent of the U.S. will be age 65 and older, and more of them will live longer and more indepen-dently in their older years than any time in history. The age to

enter a nursing home is inch-ing up, with one study putting the national average at 89.

With older relatives living longer and staying at home, there is often more of a bur-den on the caregiver to help with medication and doctor’s visits, and daily tasks such as cooking, errands and home repairs. Tech companies are beginning to step in and help.

Next month, Fanlo and his team will launch Lively, a sensor-based technology that tracks an elderly person’s movements at home. Small wireless sensors are placed around the house — on the bathroom door, refrigerator or pill box — and count on average how many times the pill box opens or how long the elderly person stays in the bathroom. Lively figures out the person’s daily routine, and if something goes awry — maybe the pill box opens only once, but the medication has three daily doses — the company will alert family, friends and neighbors with text messages and emails.

Patrick Guerra of San Martin, Calif., said he’s been searching for a remote moni-toring technology like Lively to “provide a tremendous amount of security I don’t have today.”

Guerra, who works in high tech, helps care for his 87-year-old mother and 88-year-old mother-in-law who both live alone and have health problems. After a recent weekend away in Las Vegas, he called his mother-in-law and got a busy signal. Wor-ried, he drove to her house in Los Gatos, Calif., to discover she had bumped the phone off the hook. About a year ago, she slipped into a coma state after missing a dose of medication. Guerra said he found her nonresponsive on her couch.

“The issue is just not hav-ing this anxiety and wonder-ing, ‘Why aren’t they answer-ing the phone?’ ” he said.

Home repairs can also cause anxiety for older people

according to the Alzheimer’s As-sociation.

The disease is characterized by abnormal clumps of proteins called amyloid plaques and tangled bun-dles of fi bers.

Until now, medications have focused on attacking the plaques and tangles that form in the brain, said Lipton, who was part of the research team at Harvard that dis-covered how the drug memantine helped Alzheimer’s patients.

That work contributed to the Food and Drug Administration approval of memantine — sold as Namenda — in 2003, for the treat-ment of Alzheimer’s. However, that drug’s effectiveness has been limited.

The new research found that when nitroglycerin — commonly used to treat chest pain or angina in patients with coronary heart dis-ease — was added to memantine to form a new drug, the results im-proved.

It took researchers 37 combina-tions of the drugs before they found one that worked, Lipton said.

“We show in this paper that memantine’s ability to protect syn-apses is limited,” Lipton said.

But working with mouse mod-els of Alzheimer’s disease, Lip-

ton’s team found NitroMemantine brought synapses back to normal within a few months and started to work within hours.

The study was funded by grants from agencies including the Na-tional Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Defense and the American Heart Association.

Calling the new research “very promising,” Dr. David Smuckler, geriatrician and medical director of Orlando Health’s Center for Aging and Memory Disorder Clinic, said he would welcome a new treat-ment.

“The medications we have now are not very good. A lot of patients don’t respond, but they’re the best we have,” Smuckler said. “They don’t do much to slow the process, and they defi nitely don’t reverse it.”

Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at University of California Los Angeles and co-au-thor of “The Alzheimer’s Preven-tion Program,” also said the re-search offered hope.

“I like the whole concept,” Small said. “The anti-amyloid drugs have failed. This approach has some in-teresting science behind it.”

The proof, both agree, remains to be seen when the drug is tested in humans.

That’s the next step.Once researchers fi nd a pharma-

ceutical partner, the science will ad-vance to human trials, said Lipton, who estimates it will be “several years” before it’s on the market.

However, he is optimistic about the outcome.

“If you look at action of meman-tine in mice, it exactly tracks the re-sults in humans. We have Namenda as a proof of principle that it works in humans,” he said. “The fact that we have two safe drugs that are clinically tolerated makes the chance of success much higher.

“Most drugs fail in the brain not because they don’t work, but be-cause patients can’t tolerate them,” he said.

Lipton, also a practicing neurolo-gist who sees Alzheimer’s patients, said that although treatments thus far have been disappointing, he’s optimistic that NitroMemantine will be more effective and “bring new hope to Alzheimer’s patients.”

on it, which is what he’s gone by — and called his business — ever since.

His shop is closed Tuesday and Wednesday, he explained, because when he owned the shop on Main Street Wednesday was his day off . When he moved the shop to his home and became the sole

employee he didn’t want to change the schedule his clients were accustomed to. Later, when he decided it was time for a fi ve-day week, he started taking Tuesday off so he could have two days in a row.

� e downside, he said, is he can’t take his classic cars to shows on weekends, but other than that he’s happy with his schedule, which gets him out on the river for fi shing during the quieter mid-week days.

� e rest of the week, with customers in and out about every 15 to 20 minutes, there’s no shortage of

conversation in his life, Warren said.

“� at’s the reason I enjoy bar-bering. You got one guy he comes in talking about airplanes and the next guy, he comes in and he wants to talk about freight trains, next guy comes in and wants to talk about overhauling a car.”

Few topics are off limits, though he does occasionally redirect the discussion.

“Two things I just kind of shy away from are politics and religion,” he said. “� ey told us in barber school, they said if some-one starts talking to you about politics and religion, if you can change the subject, change it.”

Since he still looks forward to working every day, Warren said, he’s in no hurry to retire.

“I still plan on barbering for a while,” he said. “Fifty-nine years in and I ought to make it for another 10.”

living alone and their caregivers. ClubLocal, a free web service and mobile application available in Dallas and the San Francis-co Bay-area, does background checks on plumbers, handymen and electricians, and sets the price of each service to prevent dishonest markups, said founder Zorik Gordon.

Gladys Lowenstein, 62, re-cently hired a plumber through ClubLocal to fix her swimming pool in San Jose, Calif. “We are always worried about being safe and making sure people aren’t taking advantage,” she said. “Over the age of 60, and getting a repair person to your home is not an easy task. You’re increas-ingly vulnerable.”

Advances in wireless tech-nology are helping seniors get medical care without leaving home. Oakland, Calif., software company Sovran is working with an Asian health tech company, ConnectedHealth, to provide technology that remotely mea-sures a patient’s glucose levels and other vitals, reducing visits to the doctor and hospital stays.

Companies face numerous challenges in making technol-ogy for the elderly. Many seniors don’t use cellphones because of deteriorating eyesight and mo-tor skills, and they often don’t have an Internet connection or a computer. Others live on a fixed income, such as Social Security, and can’t afford new technol-ogy.

“It’s not as easy as putting to-gether an app or a game,” Linde-man said. “But we’re just at the beginning.”

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Chester Pew stood beside his longtime ride, his fishing boat, before he launched it on Clinton Lake and reflected on its longevity.

“You know how long I’ve had this boat?” he said with a twinkle in his eye, knowing that few would be able to answer his question. “I got it in 1955.”

“Just about everything in this boat is old.”

Including the fisherman. Pew is 93.He doesn’t act his age, though. Much

like his boat and old Johnson motor, he was built to last.

Just about every two days, Pew tows his boat from his home in Kansas City, Kan., to Clinton Lake outside Lawrence and goes crappie fishing.

That includes in the heat of summer, when the temperature often soars toward 100 degrees. “I have some of best days in July,” he said. “Why sit at home?”

Pew often fishes alone, though he runs across plenty of friends in other boats. And he does just fine on his own, thank you.

He has devised an easy way to launch and take out his boat. He handles his out-board with ease, and he uses his trolling motor to maneuver his boat exactly where he wants to go.

“I’ve outlived all of my fishing part-ners,” he said. “I miss them, but I’m not going to let that keep me home.

“People will say, ‘How can a guy that age go out fishing on his own? It’s not safe.’ But people who know me don’t worry.”

“If anything, I’m a better fisherman now than I ever was. I’ve learned a lot through the years.”

Pew provided an example on a recent

weekday. After several days of rain, the sun was shining brightly and the tem-perature was in the 70s — a perfect day to go fishing.

Pew headed straight through some flooded trees about 30 yards from shore and slowed his motor as he neared “the sweet spot.”

Most fishermen would use an elec-tronic fish finder to determine if there was activity beneath the surface, but Pew didn’t need one. He has fished Clinton since the reservoir opened in the early 1960s, and he’ll tell you he knows what lies below the water as well as any elec-tronic gadget.

Once he wrapped a rope around one of the tree limbs, he pointed to the water in two places.

“There’s some good brush right here,” he said. Then moving his focus several yards to the left, he added, “And right there.”

“Drop your line in there and you should catch a crappie.”

Pew used his sawed-off fly rod and old reel to drop a chartreuse jig down about 7 feet. No sooner had it reached its destina-tion than Pew set the hook and pulled a nice-sized fish to the boat.

I followed suit and dropped my jig into spot No. 2 and duplicated Pew’s success.

We caught two other keeper crappies at that spot and Pew grew impatient.

“Let’s go,” he said. “I know plenty of places.”

“I don’t sit in one place too long.”

Pew spent the rest of

He’s not ready to hang up his fishing rod yet

By Jewell CardwellAkron BeAcon JournAl

AKRON, Ohio — Dream they did — they always have — the poetic and simple dream of living in a house by the side of the road and being a friend to man.

However, James and Sheila Harris of Barberton, Ohio, who had lived so long in public housing, never thought it possible to ever own a home.

But lo and behold, some folks in the position to make their impossible dream possible were watching the Har-rises, longtime tenants of Neighborhood Conservation Services of Barberton, over the years when they didn’t even know it. They saw that the Harrises were good peo-ple, devoted to their family, even taking custody of their great-grandson, and they took care of their apartment like it was golden.

So, without ever having asked, the Harrises were moving into their first home on April 1.

The dream maker is the 33-year-old Neighborhood Conservation Services, with C. Tomas (Tom) Anders, executive director; Joe Peters, president; and Greg Ma-

theny, treasurer, playing the lead roles. Matheny, a disabled military veteran, liked the idea of helping James Harris, a disabled Marine Corps veteran.

Last year NCS was contacted by the children of the former owners of a Central Avenue home on the city’s north side, Anders explained. “They said they didn’t want the property, which was in bad disrepair, and wanted to know if we wanted to take it as a donation. We brought the city out for an inspection.”

NCS was given the green light to make the necessary repairs on the two-bedroom house, built in 1929, to bring it up to code. So they went to work, with strong financial assis-tance from the Barberton Commu-nity Foundation.

“Barberton Community Foun-dation invests in Neigh-borhood Conservation Services through its program-related invest-ments,” Anders said. “The Barberton Community Foundation makes pro-gram-related investments to help satisfy the mis-sion of the foundation. Most of these invest-ments are loans, related to either economic or neighborhood development.”

The beauty of the program is that the in-vestment is in people who, for one reason or another, don’t qualify for traditional bank loans. The Harrises will make payments on the house to NCS, which in turn will pay back the loan from the foundation.

“This is a genuine heartwarming story,” Anders said, delighting in every word.

“NCS had many partners in making this happen. The Alcoa plant supplied hundreds

of hours of donated time to clear the property, which was severely overgrown, built a new front porch and back patio, along with a small grant. CC Supply donated seamless spouting; Barberton Tree Service removed ex-cessive tree growth; The Cardinal Companies supplied four large (trash bins). And many of the board members and staff of NCS donated many hours of labor.”

Matheny, I learned, practically lived at the Central Avenue property as new life was being breathed into it.

The work on the property was massive, including a new roof and waterproofing the basement, including re-pairs to one of its walls.

“This involved the house being jacked up,” Ma-theny said, adding that the base-ment project alone cost nearly $10,000.

Other work included electri-cal, plumbing, a new driveway, kitchen remodeling complete with hardwood floors and the ad-dition of a second-floor dormer that the couple’s great-grandson, Lataeveon Gates, has claimed for his own.

The work, which began in ear-nest in October, was completed March 31.

“Tom and Greg were the real pushers of this project,” Peters said, adding that without their interven-tion, the home probably would have been torn down as part of the city’s aggressive Project Impact, which

S u d o k u

By William HagemanChiCago Tribune

Slowly but steadily, people with hearing loss are discovering looping, a simple way to enhance their theater, concert or worship experience — or just to make it easier to hear while riding in a taxi.

Simply put, looping takes a signal from a sound source — a television or a public-ad-dress system, for example —and transmits it through an am-plifier to a wire that surrounds (“loops”) the audience. That wire sends a magnetic sig-nal to a per-son’s hearing aid, which has a telecoil, a type of sensor. The hearing aid wearer then gets a direct, clear signal, one without inter-ference from crowd noise. It’s most com-monly found in auditori-ums, concert halls, places of worship, lec-ture halls and other public locations. In-dividuals can also have it in-stalled in their homes.

“What the user is able to do,” Dave My-ers, a professor of psychology at Hope Col-lege in Hol-land, Mich., said, “is push a button to ac-tivate this telecoil and their (hear-ing aids) are changed into wireless speakers expressly for them.”

The idea has been around for decades, but in recent years has become more sophisticated and more popular. Myers, who is hearing impaired and is a loop-ing advocate, said it’s omnipres-

ent in the U.K.“There’s signage everywhere:

the back seats of all taxis, 11,500 post offices, every church with a PA system, the starter’s boxes at St. Andrews,” Myers said.

It’s been slower to catch on in the U.S.

“In the interest of making hearing aids smaller and smaller, which people in the U.S. demand

much more so than in Eu-rope, the man-ufacturers took the telecoils out of hear-ing aids,” Dr. Ronna Fisher, a Chicago au-diologist, said. “So most hear-ing aids in the U.S. didn’t have telecoils ... until the last year, year and

a half.”However, a person wearing

a hearing aid with a T-coil in a looped venue could have trouble hear-ing a question from the person seated next to them. For that they have two options: turn the hearing aid back to normal mode, or if the hearing aid is equipped with a mic-telecoil (MT) setting, select that to hear both looped sound and close-up sound.

The cost to loop a place of worship, Myers says, is about the same as the

cost of a high-end hearing aid. It can run from $4,000 to $12,000, depending on the type and size of the structure, but generally is be-tween $6,000 and $8,000. Michi-gan State University looped its 14,000-seat basketball arena for $120,000. Looping a room in your home will start around $200.

Get in the loop: ‘Looping’ technology communicates directly with hearing aids

Test it yourselfTo find looped loca-

tions across the U.S., go to aldlocator.com, un-check the FM and infra-red boxes and insert a location. To learn about loop advocacy initia-tives around the country go to hearingloop.org.

Other technologiesAlternatives to loop-

ing technology include FM or infrared signals broadcast to receivers that users check out while in a venue (think of those devices you can borrow in muse-ums for audio tours). A person must take out their hearing aids to use these devices, whereas with looping, the user’s own hearing aid is the device.

removes vacant and decaying houses.NCS’s goal was to rehab one of those

properties, to restore it and make it livable again. Anders, Peters and Matheny see it as a win-win situation: a chance to get people in a home, and to keep the city’s tax base up rather than turning the space into a vacant lot.

“I understand that some homes — va-cant or foreclosed — have to be torn down,” Anders noted.

“They call that blight,” Matheny chimed in.

“Every time that happens, (a teardown) the city loses a portion of its tax base, mon-ey to support the schools. The more fami-lies we can get moving in means whatever income they have, they’re spending it in the community in which they live.”

Anders, Peters and Matheny said they would like to partner with the Barberton Community Foundation to do other proj-

ects involving dilapidated houses in the future.

“Our goal is to do everything we can to help make this a better community and a better world,” Peters said. “We want to give every deserving person the opportu-nity to be part of a neighborhood.”

“I love that I now have my own house,” a beaming Sheila Harris said, standing in her kitchen with all new appliances. “I love having a yard and doing yardwork. But mostly we’re excited to give our 10-year-old great-grandson a home.” The couple has had him since he was 5.

The Harrises, apart from making month-ly loan payments, have a list of projects they’re required to address at their new home, painting chief among them.

Knowing the Harrises’ history of up-keep, NCS has every confidence in the job they’ll do.

the morning moving from spot to spot, catching crappies and tossing fi sh into his cooler. Before long, the two of us had more than 20 fi sh fl opping around on the ice and Pew was planning a fi sh fry.

“I love to eat crappies,” he said. “But I don’t eat ’em all.”

“I have a big family. I provide fi sh to a lot of people.”Make no mistake, Pew can catch them. Looking over at

Chester from another boat, Carlos Campos of Bonner Springs shook his head as he watched his friend pull in several fi sh in a row.

“Can you believe a guy that age who can still catch fi sh like he can?” he asked with a laugh. “Chester is unbelievable.”

“He’ll catch his limit when no one around him is even catching anything.”

Pew’s secret? He uses a sensitive fl y rod so he can feel light bites, and he uses plastic tube baits and tips them with minnows. Then he adds the secret ingredient, a Crappie Nibble.

“A lot of times, that little pellet is what makes the difference,” he said. “I don’t know what it is, but they like those things.”

Another key, Pew said, is fi nding which depth the crappies are holding at each day.

“Every day is a new day,” he said. “Just be-cause they were on the bottom one day, doesn’t mean they will be the next.”

Pew has had plenty of days on the water to hone his skills. He proudly says, “I’ve fi shed all of my life.”

He grew up in the Trenton, Mo., area and would fi sh a creek that ran through the family’s land.

“We’d have a big fi sh fry every Fourth of July, so we’d have to catch fi sh,” Pew said.

Pew moved to the Kansas City area in the 1940s and resumed his fi shing. By the time he retired in 1985, he was on the water constantly with his wife.

“Those were the best times of my life,” he said. “We weren’t tied down. We could go out and fi sh for as long as we wanted, and we had a great time.”

That changed when his wife suffered a stroke in 1990 and passed away in 2003. Pew grieved, but he wouldn’t let himself stay at home. He dealt

with his loss the best way he knew how. He went fi shing. He hasn’t stopped. He’s still in good health, he said. And he still loves to chase crappies.

“Clinton is about the only place I’ll fi sh,” he said. “I’ve always caught them here, so there’s no reason to go anyplace else.”“I caught more crappies last summer than I ever have. Hope-fully, this year will be just as good.”

GONE FISHING, continued from page 19

A look backChester Pew of Kansas City, Kan., started

fi shing in 1928 when he was 8 years old. To give you an idea of how long ago that was, take a look at what was going on that year. The average cost of a house was $8,047. The average annual wage was $1,153. The average car cost $385. Mickey Mouse starred in “Steamboat Willie,” the fi rst cartoon with sound. The fi rst yo-yo factory opened. Amelia Earhart of Atchison, Kan., be-came the fi rst woman to successfully fl y an aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean. The “Amos and Andy” radio show made its debut. Herbert Hoover was elected the 31st president. The recliner, bubble gum, ice-cube trays and sliced bread were invented.
