Reminiscing: Christmas without electricity T he first few times you experience something, those times are held the deepest in your memory. And so all my early Christmas memories are without electricity. Real candles on the tree branches. The tree going up on Dec. 24 and coming down on Dec. 26. Unwrapped presents. Tons of snow outside. Hot chocolate.

One spectacular night of walking the sidewalks of a big city to press our noses against the store windows to admire the displays.

Christmas season was an exciting four weeks.

People were unusually friendly. Strangers smiled and spoke. Music was played on loudspeakers at the bigger stores for all to enjoy as they walked down the snowy sidewalks.

School lessons were shorter in December, to accommodate daily pageant practice.

They were Christmas pageants then, with Jesus front and center in the skits and songs. The audience sang along with “Silent Night” to close the program. We wore costumes of frilly crepe paper to be a jingle bell or a white sheet angel gown or gunnysack shepherd shirts.

Stores weren’t open on weekends or holidays in the 1940s. Over the four-day Thanksgiving weekends, they were magically trans-

long wooden matches. We burned half of the candles on Christmas Eve and finished them on the evening of Christmas Day. Our gifts were not wrapped or piled under the tree days in advance.

Christmas gift wrapping wasn’t a “thing” until the 1950s.

thousands of other mothers and daughters. I have several pieces of gift wrap from Bettie’s baby shower in 1963, lining the shelves of our china closet.

Stores were heavily decorated at Christmas time. Bigger towns hung garlands, bells and wreaths on the street lights.

Christmas carols played everywhere. Homes didn’t have outdoor decorating, but then, most of them didn’t even have electricity. A tree inside, a wreath on the front door, a candle or two in a windowsill was festive enough. Outdoor lights can be so garish, and big displays look more like they belong in a comic strip than in a Christmas setting.

Our Christmas wasn’t for “show.” It was for children, church services, families and friends and for helping others in need.

Our family did as most back then in helping out.

I remember Mother and Father packing up a box or two with jars of canned fruit, a plate of homemade cookies and candies, maybe a fruitcake or a homemade pie. We took them around to people who might not otherwise have Christmas treats — bachelor neighbors, elderly couples, widows. We received boxes too, from neighbors who might slip in a toy or two for the little ones. Boxes were never “dropped off.” They came with a holiday visit, a shared cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate and the gift of time spent together.

The $50 kept us in our home. Hard choices had to be made: Family first.

So there was the old well with a little water. We carried it in pails in the littler Red Rider wagon across the fields the long way home.

The much-needed water was used sparingly. On Saturday, Mama heated some water on the old cook stove, poured it into the narrow copper tub.

I was the smallest, so I got to bathe first, followed by the three big sisters, then mama and papa. It was practically mud by then.

After we all finished bathing, the filthy water was used on the few vegetables in the garden.

Mama had one geranium by the porch that would get a little drink. Mama loved flowers. But they needed water, and the family came first.

aymie, could you maybe make some dark bread next time?”

Papa asked.

She became indignant as she answered, “Why Clint — you know poor people eat dark bread.”

I new that nobody in that county was poorer than us.

Mama was proud. So am I. I always heard, “The Lord helps them what helps themselves.”

I like the Bible stories where God would try every which way to have the evil people repent. As a last resort, he took away the rain, and when the people were starving, they would soften.

My papa could make anything grow, but not without water. When our main well went dry, Papa found a little water in a well at the other end of the pasture.

It had been dug to water the cows and horses, but the animals had been eaten or sold to pay taxes during the long years of the Depression.

It was a very sad day when Papa had to sell his beautiful horses to pay the taxes on our farm. Horses need a ton of food, and without rain, no grain could be grown. We knew the horses would be hamburger meat, but what could we do?

John P. Morbeck Sr. of Lewiston was born in 1929 in Uniontown.

He graduated from St. Boniface High School in 1948. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and spent time in the Korean conflict. After returning home, he worked as a welder for various companies and, in 1971, opened his own shop, John’s Welding, in Lewiston.

His first wife, Eileen, died in 1993.

John married Peggy Kammers in 2000. They enjoy spending the summer months in their fifthwheel trailer at family property at Freeman Creek.

John is a member of All Saints Catholic Church, where he sings in the choir, and he has been a member of the Knights of Columbus for 71 years. He has two children, six stepchildren, 18 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

An open-house celebration is planned at 11 a.m. Dec. 22 at All Saints Parish Social Hall in Lewiston, following the 10 a.m. Mass.

Ray Eugene Lohman of Kendrick was born in 1939 to Leo and Edna Cronrath Lohman in Cameron. He was raised in the Cameron-Southwick area, attending school in Southwick, Leland and graduating in 1958 in Kendrick.

He married Doris Wilson in 1959; they later divorced.

He and Stella Merrill married on Halloween in 1975. They celebrated 44 years of marriage this year.

For many years, Ray worked as a faller for Everett Farrington, Bernal Zimmerman and Emery Hall before starting to farm the Lohman place in 1974.

During his time on the farm, he still worked in the woods and remodeled many homes in the area.

His hobbies include fishing, woodworking, helping around the farm, and he still falls a tree now and then. He surely enjoys his side-by-side taking daily trips “around the block.”

His children are Cindy Black and Jeff, Scott and Rusty Lohman, and he has four grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

A family celebration is planned.

Cards and calls are welcome at 13414 Lohman Road, Kendrick, ID 83537.

For her dedication, she received the Idaho Health Care Association Volunteer of the Year statewide award in 2018.

Mark Newman, activities director on the residential side of Royal Plaza, draws a picture of how vital volunteer work is to the center.

“The residents themselves volunteer to make a lot of activities happen. They take their jobs seriously and can always be counted on,” he said.

“Outside music groups volunteer to sing at 3 p.m. each day, a hairdresser comes to do pedicures, others do crafts, travel with a group on Wednesday lunch trips and help set up for parties. Events wouldn’t happen without volunteers.”

Linda Ruthruff, a retired librarian, volunteers to keep up the library, Newman said, “which is constantly used by residents.”

Local organizations have employees who also freely share their skills. “Idaho Health Agency comes to gives flu shots; someone from the courthouse helps people read through ballots and clarify them, Twin River Bank brings banking to the residents.

inancial predators are alive, well and on the prowl, hoping to separate you from your money.

Catfishing predators may claim to be looking for romance. Here are a few tips on how to avoid becoming their next victim. Feel free to clip this and tape it near your phone and/or computer.

> RED FLAGS INCLUDE CALLS, EMAILS OR LETTERS THAT:  are unsolicited (you didn’t initiate contact)  are threatening in tone, promising scary or embarrassing consequences for noncompliance or  are euphoric in tone (great news, you won the lottery — we need your bank account number to deposit your winnings)  request personal information  request money — usually in the form of a prepaid debit or credit card  carry an aggressive sense of urgency

> IF YOU SUSPECT YOU’RE BEING TARGETED BY A SCAMMER: DON’T  share any personal information  send money DO  hang up the phone  delete the email or  shred the letter  Check legitimacy of claims if desired, but not using a number supplied by the caller. Instead, look the company up in the phone book or online.  Report the scam (more information follows).

> THINK YOU’VE BEEN TAKEN? It’s a good idea to pay attention to details on bills and other financial transactions; discrepancies can be a red flag for identity theft. But many fraudulent schemes currently circulating are sophisticated and able to trick even the most savvy. Anyone who believes they’ve been contacted by a scam artist and/or fallen victim to a fraudulent scheme may …  Report it to local police at (208) 7460171 in Lewiston, (509) 758-2331 in Clarkston, (208) 883-7054 in Moscow or (509) 334-0802 in Pullman.

take steps to minimize damage and protect themselves.  Report it to their bank or credit institution if money was taken or information was shared.  Report it to the business or organization involved.  Report it to the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org/scamtracker/us.  Report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint or by calling (877) FTC-HELP.  Find a list of current known scams and more information on avoiding scams, at www.consumer.ftc.gov/features/scam-alert.  Find information on scams circulating locally on the Lewiston Police Department’s Facebook page, where citizens also may sign up for news alerts.  Ask door-to-door solicitors to show their licenses, and call the police if they don’t.

> BEWARE OF CATFISHERS LOOKING FOR “LOVE” Catfishing is when someone fakes an online identity to scam victims for money, romance or physical harm. These predatory online relationships can last for months or even years. It’s catfishing if ...  They ask for money: An online friend or romantic interest whom you’ve never met asks you to send money or provide your bank information.  They won’t meet. Beware if the contact strings you along but avoids meeting in person. Some catfishers agree to meet but have an “emergency” — such as a canceled flight or a medical issue — that prevents it.

Catfishers often claim to be stationed abroad or working on an oil rig as an excuse for not meeting.  Skyping is off limits, too. Catfishers refuse to video chat.  They seem too good to be true. Some people who catfish feel bad about themselves and often assume the online persona of a fashion model, actor, successful businessperson, etc.

> DON’T GET HOOKED Before meeting in person or providing any information about yourself, fact-check claims and verify online identities using Google and SocialCatfish.com.

Jon Provost reminisces on ‘Lassie’ Christmases

D

uring the seven years Jon Provost starred as little Timmy Martin in the CBS TV series “Lassie” from 1957-64, several end-ofyear Christmas episodes aired. Most still stand out in Provost’s mind for one reason. TINSELTOWN “The crazy TALKS thing is, we would be filming a Christmas episode during summer in Southern California where it was 90 degrees,” said Provost from his home north of San Francisco.

“We were all bundled up like it was 30 degrees and just dying from the heat.

But of course, you kept acting and did what had to be done for the episode.”

In the 1961 episode “Yochim’s Christmas,” in which Timmy, Lassie, and a friend rescue a man trapped under an overturned sleigh, there was plenty of ‘snow’ used for the scene.

“It was fake, of course” explained Provost. “For snow on the ground, a machine almost like a fire truck was used to spray soap suds all over the hillside. We would have to shoot scenes before the suds turned back to liquid.

Knowing that, if you go back and look at the episode again, you’ll notice it’s not really behaving like real snow.”

A different technique was employed for scenes depicting falling snow. “They would use little shreds of white plastic dropped from above that would appear like snowflakes coming down or landing on our clothes. That was the magic of Hollywood before computer-generated images.”

and restore normal function of the joint allowing patients to return back to their prior activities. Total knee replacement is a very common surgery with 1/2 million surgeries performed annually in the US. Physical therapy is beneficial post surgery with emphasis on pain and swelling reduction and restoring quadriceps control/activation. Physical therapists are trained to educate and progress patients throughout the continuum of treatment from pre operative instruction and exercise to post operative care. Post operative care includes proper fit of assistive devices and education in how to use the assistive devices effectively. Characteristically patients will need an assistive device for ambulation post surgery and without it the likelihood of falling is very high. Focused strengthening and balance training can restore normal mechanics through the lower extremities and improve quality of life.

Proper progression through physical therapy is vital for full recovery. If you are considering a total knee replacement, please don’t hesitate to contact the professional staff at the Institute of Physical Therapy for your rehabilitation needs.
