> > JAN. 19 Floyd Heimgartner, 95 Floyd Kenneth Heimgartner was born in 1924 to Misty and Albert Heimgartner. Albert’s family immigrated from Switzerland settling in the Juliaetta area where Floyd was born, graduated from high school and married Elizabeth Burns. They raised their family there, and Floyd retired as Juliaetta Postmaster before moving to Lewiston.

After U.S. Navy aviator training during World War II, Floyd served as Juliaetta City Council city clerk, Kendrick School Board member and a J-K ambulance crew member.

He helped develop the Juliaetta baseball field complex which bears his name. Floyd and Elizabeth regularly attend the Juliaetta Community Church, and they recently celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary.

Daughter Carol marvels at his “constancy.” He was in attendance for the activities of all of his kids from kindergarten through college (and after). Son Kenneth reflected on learning patience as Dad untangled his line and retrieved lures from the Clearwater until he hooked a steelhead rather than the river bottom. After landing in the ditch while allowing then 4-year-old son Mark to steer his Jeep, Dad carefully explained

that he needed to hang on to the steering wheel next time. Daughter Joyce cherishes a memory of she and her daughters and Dad riding a Silverwood roller coaster again and again.

> > JAN. 21 Jeanne Schrempp, 91 Jeanne Schrempp of Lewiston was born in 1928, the third daughter of Henry and Agnes Zellerhoff, on their family farm in Colton.

After her mother’s death when Jeanne was 15, she helped raise her eight siblings. She credits that experience with helping her perseverance and humor when she raised her own four daughters years later.

Jeanne married Jerome Schrempp in 1950, and they recently celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary.

She was a stay-at-home mom, a Camp Fire Girls of America leader, a Sunday school teacher in their Catholic church and was very active in her community, playing piano with her sisters at local care centers.

Jeanne and Jerome enjoyed travel, taking cruises and visiting Branson, Mo., the East Coast, Alas-

ka and elsewhere in the Northwest, including trips to the surrounding area to visit friends and family.

Jeanne lives at Kindred Care Center and enjoys visits and correspondence with family and friends.

She’ll be honored with a family gathering on her birthday.

> > JAN. 22 Carolyn Moxley, 85 Carolyn Moxley of Peck was born in 1934 to Argyl and Ansel Clelland in Craigmont.

She attended school at Pomeroy and Clarkston. She married Boyd Fuhrman in 1950. They had a daughter and son and later divorced. She was a Parent-Teacher Association mom and homemaker.

Carolyn worked at the Idaho Department Store in fabric and dry goods. She did alterations, also.

In August 1971, she married John Moxley in Lewiston. They owned Moxley Furniture Store in Kamiah.

She helped John with their honey bee business for many years until 1999.

Carolyn has been a seamstress all her life and is a longtime member of the Lewis-Clark Doll Club. She enjoys rodeos, dolls and friends and family, which includes two granddaughters and four great-grandchildren.

> > JAN. 23 Dede Miller, 88 Clesta “Dede” Miller of Lewiston was born in 1931 in Lewiston. She grew up in Anatone and Asotin, attending school in Asotin and graduating in 1949. That year, Dede was the queen of the Asotin fair. She also loved being a majorette.

Dede was married to Norman Miller from 1950 to ’85.

They built their own home in the Lewiston orchards.

Their family includes children Linda, Sue, Norm and David; 11 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren, and four great-greatgrandchildren.

After high school, Dede started working at COD Laundry. Once she had children, she was a devoted full-time stay-at-home mom. Later, she worked at K-Mart for 10 years in many positions throughout the store. Her favorite part about that job was being able to help and interact with all the people.

Dede was a part of the Campers Club, and enjoyed huckleberry picking, reading, plastic canvas needlework, socializing and baking. Her specialty was mouthwatering chocolate chip cookies.

She will be honored at a celebration at 2:30 p.m. Jan. 14 at Wedgewood Terrace, along with other January birthday celebrants. The public is welcome to attend; reservations are requested by calling (208) 743-4545.

By SHARON HOSELY FOR GOLDEN TIMES

etirement: Is it all it’s cracked up to be? Initially, Phyllis Collins found it an empty, social challenge.

Her career had been full of people-oriented positions, and suddenly that give-and-take with coworkers and the public was gone.

“We’re interactive creatures and we need each other,” she said.

Collins, 74 of Lewiston, had worked a variety of jobs in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley until 2014.

“When I first became retired, I worked on some projects around our home.” Collins said. “One was painting the ceiling of our deck. I had to stand on top of the ladder; hold onto the roof with one hand and paint the underside with the other hand, hoping that if I did fall, my neighbor would get me help if I needed it. ”Afterwards, I remembered that I’m no youngster and I need to careful not to be so careless, because I might end up in the doctor’s office.”

She also turned to intellectual pursuits.

“I tried my hand at writing.

I wrote a novel, ‘Flora and the Crossing Guard,’ a supernatural thriller,“ she said. ”It’s published on Amazon Kindle. Not a best seller, but hey, it’s my first one.“ She enjoyed the mental exercise and is now working on a memoir for family but doubts she’ll tackle another novel. “Although I did leave it a cliffhanger, if I do decide to write again,” she said.

Although house projects and new hobbies helped fill the time, there was a loneliness for stimulating conversation.

“At work you have a lot of people around,” she said. “A quiet house is almost uncomfortable. Other people’s conversations stimulate my brain. My husband still works, so my daytime dialogue is with my cats. Not very satisfying.

GOLDEN TIMES

“I also missed the routine of exercise and work,” she said.

“There was no reason to get going.”

Collins walks daily and plans lunches and shopping with friends, “but I found I still missed the day to day socializing I had been used to at work.”

Realizing that “it was up to me to fill this emptiness,” she began hunting for ways to fill the social void.

She began combing the newspaper and discovered numerous community activities and events tailored to retirees for little or no cost through local senior centers and clubs. It opened up new avenues for fun, fitness and friendship, as well as ways to give back to the community.

Collins took advantage, and has settled into a fitness class and regular senior lunches offered at the Lewiston Community Center. Most of the Monday-through-Friday meals are served cafeteria-style, with a special buffet on Wednesdays.

“The buffet is by far the best,” she said. “Besides good food, the company is great. We’re all around the same stage of life and love to talk about our kids and grandkids, share pictures and tell stories. We have a lot in common to share.”

Collins also joined the Red Hat Society at the urging of her niece, Terry Herman of Lewiston. Members meet for connection, fun and altruism.

Collins’ group meets the first Thursday of the month at various restaurants. Members’ attire makes them easy to spot: Women 50 and older wear purple outfits and red hats; younger women don pink and lavender.

For Collins, seeking out opportunities for engagement and getting involved enlarged her social circle and made a marked improvement in her post-career satisfaction.

She also has had to learn balance, careful to protect her retirement freedom while satisfying her need for people.

“I want to be involved to the point of being happy but not overwhelmed.

“What I enjoy the most about retirement is not having to be up and at work at 8:30. I can choose to build a fire and curl up with a good book,” she said. “However, we’re not made for isolation. When you stay home you don’t have motivation to get up and move. Socializing is mentally, socially and physically healthy. It gives you something to talk about with your spouse.

“The opportunities are there. Find a friend and try it out.”

>>PHYLLIS COLLINS HOMETOWN: Longtime Lewiston resident, born in Vancouver, Wash.

EDUCATION: Lewiston High School graduate FAMILY: Husband Roy Bly, a processing engineer tech at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories; son Jeff Zitzelberger of West Point, Utah; two grandchildren and a great-grandson; and two cats CAREER: Before retiring, Collins did office work in Portland, Ore., and at banks and other businesses in Lewiston — including at the Lewiston Tribune, where she was a switchboard operator and archival librarian.

One day while working at the paper, “my mother asked to talk to me, and they told her I was in the morgue,” Collins said. “Mom almost had a heart attack. They quickly told her, ‘It’s the name of the room where all the files are kept.’ ” Other jobs included work with children at a home daycare, as an aide at Lewiston elementary schools McSorley and Whitman and as a crossing guard at Webster.

“I could always tell what (students) were studying by the questions they asked me,” Collins said. “ ‘Did you come here in a covered wagon?’ ‘Did you really only have a black-and-white TV?’ They were fun.“ Golden Times photos/Steve Hanks

Irresolute on which New Year’s resolutions to embrace

W

hat shall I make of this woman who now confronts me in the mirror? How shall I take her intrusions on, her disruptions of, my personal space and my social life? Just who does she think she is?! Then again, maybe I’m not asking the right question. Let’s try this one: When shall I cede the struggle and, instead, welcome her as a whole new me?

Well ... that depends, doesn’t it?

There’s the issue of whether “new” is actually better — an improvement on a previous rendition — or if “new” is simply different — an unexpected or novel depiction of the same old tired stuff. I’m reminded here of mandatory “upgrades” — which rarely are, to my way of thinking — to word-processing programs and computerized electronics. Much

like those updates, I did not want this latest version of my operating system. Reliable shortcuts to getting the job done, to reaching a person or a destination comfortably and safely, have disappeared.

Without proper introduction, strange terms and icons and features have appeared. And, of course, there’s the fear — which is realistic, in this instance, thank you very much — of incompatibility with existing hardware.

Let’s face it: I’m missing some of the parts, while others undeniably have degraded, that ensured my seamless-enough functioning in the past.

There’s the other issue of whether “whole” means complete — integrated and intact — or if “whole” means all — entirely and in every aspect. It’s possible, I think, to be an integrated person

Reader Essays

without having wrapped every aspect of one’s self in the package. And vice versa: One might be altogether broken. Isn’t that the point of current mindfulness movements, of notions about centering, of self-projects that focus on balancing disparate elements of our lives? I don’t know about you, but there definitely are times when I don’t want to be “in the moment,” when I’d much prefer to be somewhere else altogether, when I’m not even close to being comfortable in my own skin.

So, where am I going on this meandering stream of consciousness? Why am I giving public voice to private musings? I’m taking a step toward living less in the dusty confines of my own head and residing more in the sunny company of others. I’m trying to stop maintaining — not to mention, building — shrines to a previous, no longer viable, existence.

I’m seeking coherence, not just to the outer trappings of my life, but also to the inner workings of my soul. Heady stuff, am I right?

You see, I am moving toward a whole new me — one that’s better, more complete, than earlier versions. It’s neither an easy nor a straight path. Hard choices persist about what to keep and what to leave behind. (I can be a bit hoarder-ish on some things.) Mule-headed or not, though, I refuse to capitulate on this: I shall not abandon my inner Pollyanna. She served me well more often than not, drew me to potential beauty in really ugly times, and gave my friends and me much-needed giggles over the years. She’s a keeper.

Now, about that hot yoga class ...

— Dretha Phillips, 67, of Pullman

Full stop: What happens after the last day of work?

As

it turned out, my last “day” of work was actually a 12-hour night shift.

While spending Christmas with my daughter, I couldn’t come up with an answer to her question: “Why are you still working?”

It inspired me to finally write a resignation and join the ranks of the retired. No regrets.

Like many other people newly retired, I’m frequently asked if I’m still working. I usually get a silly grin and tell them no, I’m happily retired.

Inevitably the next comment is about how great it must be to do whatever I want.

And, oh yes, it really is great.

In preparation for retirement, my biggest concern was figuring out finances and insurance and all the stuff a regular paycheck affords. But what plans

did I have for how I would spend those days doing “whatever I want?” During my commute while still working, I’d give myself over to thoughts of all the things I could do uninterrupted by that pesky alarm clock.

But, a plan? Did I really need one?

I stopped work, and it was delicious.

After six months of reading a stack of books into the wee hours and occasionally binge-watching a TV series — sometimes seeing the dawn breaking after “just one more episode” — I decided maybe I did need a plan. But hey, that time was fun.

Perhaps there had been a retirement-planning memo I had missed (or ignored), or maybe other people just naturally wove a new pattern for their lives. I put the question to a friend, Sharon Leonard.

When I ask how retire-

ment has been so far, she lights up. “It’s been wonderful — the time goes by way too fast,“ she said.

She retired five years ago. In that time, she and her husband have accomplished things they planned to do, including travel and home improvement projects. “We work well together,” she tells me.

Gail Scott, my children’s high school English teacher officially retired in 2004.

When I asked her about how she thought retirement would be, she smiles.

“I had sort of an idyllic vision — sunny days, and you just did what you want.” We both laugh.

“The reality is you have all this stuff still, like the housecleaning,” she adds.

She has done some traveling. But she recently took on a new volunteer role and some days find her working again as a substitute teacher.

So why did she come out of retirement? “I don’t know,” she said, pausing.

“There was a Garfield poster — I wish I had kept it — but it said something

to the effect of ‘My life has no plot.’ ” During my almost four years of retirement, I’ve planned and gone on trips, spent time with family, reimagined my back yard, and yes, done the housecleaning. The time does fly by, but I grab chunks of it and create my own plot and plans.

And I’ll get to those plans ... right after I finish the newest season of “The Man in the High Castle.”

— Diane Browne, 66, of Clarkston
