and I could see a small deer climbing up one hillside. It was quickly met by a doe.

The small one started nursing, and soon another small deer came down the slope and started nursing as well.

Twin fawns were a delightful surprise, and in all of my years of seeing deer, it was the first time I have seen a doe nursing her babies.

My only grandson, JohnPaul, and wife, Chelsea, have a son, Alexander, who turned a year old June 5. The plan was to have a large party with many friends invited.

Alas, do you remember the weather that day? We had the worst windstorm ever. The party had to be canceled — though not really. There were the parents, two sets of grandparents and Alex’s twin sisters, Charlotte and Josephine — usually called Charlie and Jo. There were

balloons, lots of decorations, presents and enough cake to indulge everyone.

Those twin girls have been such a delight to the entire family. The parents have learned what a challenge it is to face each stage with two doing the same thing at the same time. When it was time to be potty-trained, it was decided to leave the little chair in the bedroom. That way, when they awakened, it was easy to see what was expected of them.

One afternoon, the twins had been put down for a nap. After a time, Charlie awakened, and seeing the potty chair, dutifully exercised her newfound skill.

She wanted to tell her sister about it, but Jo was still asleep. Charlie pulled the little cup out of the chair, carried it to the bed and dumped its contents all over Jo’s head.

You could have heard the screams in the next block, and it brought both parents running to see what had happened.

They could hardly believe their eyes and started a massive cleanup of both child and bed.

Those twins will turn 3 this summer. Whatever the weather, they will need to be kept busy and challenged. They already have had swimming lessons, a must-have skill because of the large pool in their backyard. The parents have them signed up for a number of other classes to keep them learning and out of trouble. I pray for them and their parents! It is a daily learning situation for all involved.

to find the source. There it was — a fifty-cent sized hole in the floor. I could look right through it and see the snowy mountains below. I put my foot over it. That helped. Now I only had one frozen foot.

You should have heard the flight attendant gasp when I told her she needed to plug that hole so the plane would be warmer.

My second flight the following summer was to Laramie, Wyo., for a church conference. The plane from Spokane to Denver was large and air-conditioned. What a different ride. As we were beginning to descend, I decided flying was OK. We were almost ready for touchdown, when the plane’s nose suddenly came up and we rapidly ascended back into the wild blue yonder. It was like a carnival ride.

As we circled above the airport, the pilot came on,“Sorry about that joy ride, folks. A plane decided to taxi across our runway and I had to ska-doodle out of there. We’re now re-scheduled for landing.” Whew.

From that exciting landing, I transferred to a six passenger plane bound for Laramie. This plane was so small that there was no separation between pilot, co-pilot and passengers.

It was noisy, hot and bounced along over the Rocky Mountain air like a balloon. The unnerving part was the co-pilot chewed on his fingernails the entire 45 minutes.

That didn’t build much confidence in this inexperienced flyer.

Despite those rough beginnings, I’ve now traveled all over the world and find it exciting. Whenever I hear a plane leave the airport, I feel the thrill of takeoff, the anticipation of adventure and a longing to be up in the air. It’s the thing I’ve missed most about our year of isolation.

It’s the planes that make it possible for me to connect with family, friends, missions and new adventures. Soon — I hope, very soon — I’ll once again, gain my wings.

OROFINO’S NANCY LERANDEAU IS HEALING FROM SHOULDER SURGERY — HER FIFTH JOINT REPLACEMENT

O

ROFINO — Nancy Lerandeau felt the most pain at night. Unable to sleep or move, she would let out an involuntary scream.

Lerandeau, 82, had been dealing with shoulder pain for almost three years, taking two extra-strength Tylenols at night to manage the pain enough to sleep.

“I haven’t slept on my right side for a year,” she said.

As time passed, she was unable to properly move her arm, which prevented her from doing activities like gardening or

grabbing a plate from the cabinet.

“It was hard for me to put on deodorant,” she said. “It was hard to do anything that involved raising my arm, so I had to do everything with my left hand.”

Lerandeau has had two back surgeries and five joint replacements over the course of her life. She said her first back surgery was done in 1981, and it was extended in the early 2000s. She had one hip replaced in 2007, then her knees were done in 2005 and 2006. In 2019, her second hip was replaced.

“I think that’s something that I just do.

I just wear my joints out, I don’t know why — I never played tennis,” she joked.

RELIEVING THE PAIN

During her most recent operation on June 2 at Tri-State Memorial Hospital in Clarkston, doctors completed a reverse shoulder replacement.

“The replacements relieve the

pain, first and foremost,” said Dr. Bryan Beardsley. “Then oftentimes they’ll get an improvement in their range of motion and strength as well.”

Beardsley, who is an orthopedic surgeon, said Lerandeau’s pain was caused by arthritis, which tends to be a genetically predisposed condition. There are two shoulder-related types of arthritis: osteoarthritis, which is caused by normal wear and tear, and rotator cuff arthritis.

Arthritis can tear a person’s rotator cuff, which is supposed to keep the ball of the joint centered in the shoulder socket.

“But in the shoulder, the socket is almost flat,” Beardsley said.

“It’s kind of like balancing a marble on a book.”

Beardsley said he went into the operating room expecting to perform a normal shoulder replacement surgery. But about 20 minutes after the first incision, he noticed a tear in Lerandeau’s rotator cuff that was causing fluid to leak out of the joint. He ended up completing a reverse shoulder replacement in about an hour and a half.

Reverse shoulder replacements increase stress on a person’s shoulder blade, which can cause the shoulder to dislocate, especially in older females.

However, that only occurs 1 percent of the time, Beardsley said.

Lerandeau’s joint was replaced with an artificial one made of polyethylene plastic and metal, Beardsley said. About 1 cubic centimeter of bone graft from a cadaver also was used.

Bone grafts usually come from long bones in a donor’s arm or leg, he said.

Lerandeau was surprised to find a letter from the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, which harvests organs from donors, in her document folder when she returned from the hospital.

She has the chance to send a thank-you letter to the donor’s family.

Lerandeau was born in Canada but raised in Maine, Mass. She has lived in Orofino for the past 37 years, but she has spent some time traveling the world. She has seven children and a handful of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She worked as a psychiatric nurse at State Hospital North, then in a nursing home before retiring in her 70s.

Lerandeau said she has a busy summer planned. She will be going hiking with her children and their children late this month in Utah.

She also plans to visit her 78-year-old brother in Cape Cod, Mass.

In the meantime, she said she plans to “putter around” her house and garden, streaming TV shows in the evening and chatting on the phone with her friends and family.

“Take care of your body; it’s gonna have to last you all your life,” she said. “They haven’t found the new replacement bodies yet. Soon, probably ... but I don’t think we’re there yet.”

She isn’t able to lift any weight with her right arm, “(Lerandeau) can come out of the sling for some exercises,” Beardsley said. “I normally let (patients) start lifting their arm in front of their body using their own muscle power right away. But I don’t want them lifting any weight in their hands, so it’s just the weight of the arm against gravity.”

A physical therapy nurse from Elite Home Health and Hospice is helping Lerandeau during the recovery process.

Elite also assists her with occupational therapy. The nurse guides her through cooking and cleaning and also tests her “mental acuity,” Lerandeau said, with small, gamelike tests.

“I bested it so many times, she said, ‘We’re not doing that anymore,’ ” Lerandeau said. “I was just having a good time.”

Ann Lenz, 80

Bernadine (Greene) Steuber, 90

Glenette Otton, 105

Ann Lenz, of Clarkston, was born in 1941 to Walter and Evelyn Webber in Kellogg, Idaho.

She is the youngest of five siblings. She attended school in Winchester, graduating as valedictorian of her class at Winchester High School. She was a cheerleader for the basketball team, the Loggers, for four years.

Ann married Norman (Dick) Lenz of Craigmont on September 12, 1959. They will be celebrating 62 years of marriage in September. They have three children, all of whom live in Clarkston and graduated from Clarkston High School.

Ann worked for the Idaho Transportation Department for 22 years, retiring in 2002. Her hobbies include quilting, playing cards and working puzzles.

She loves spending time with her children and grandchildren, camping, and enjoying holidays and birthdays with her family and friends. Her children Debbie, Doug and Dennis hosted a party June 26.

Bernadine (Greene) Steuber is back in town. Three of her children sold their homes, plus her duplex, and swooped her out of assisted living in Hazel Dell, Wash.

They purchased a home in Lewiston, where they all reside. Who says you can’t come home again?

Bernadine is the last of A.C. (Lum) and Edith Greene’s 11 children.

The Greenes had a large cherry orchard at 17th and Grelle in the Orchards. They worked hard during the Great Depression to feed their family. All five Greene boys were in World War II and came back unscathed. Bill was an outstanding hero among them, winning two Distinguished Flying Crosses; the other brothers were just regular heroes.

Bernadine married Ralph Steuber, who had two young children, Bill and Stella (Dier). They proceeded to have six more children: Scott (deceased), Daniel, Rebecca, Pamela, Liz and Cindy.

She has six grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

Bernadine began her career as a telephone operator in Lewiston, and spent many years working for a hearing aid company, retiring at age 86 after a fall.

Her children are holding an open house in her honor from noon to 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lewiston Community Center, 1424 Main St.

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

After graduating from high school at Wasatch Academy in 1934, she was urged by family friend Mamie McClure to attend Normal School in Lewiston. She earned her teaching certificate and taught one year at Worley.

She met Ed Otton on the steps of Talkington Hall. “He was friendly,” she recalled of their first meeting. They were married Nov. 6, 1937. Ed and Glenette raised four rambunctious sons — Ed, Bill, Jim and Sid — in their home at Third Street and Eighteenth Avenue.

In 1954, Glenette resumed her teaching career at Poplar (now Grantham) Elementary. She taught second grade for 24 years before retiring in 1978.

Glenette’s interests included gardening, reading, writing and visiting with her numerous friends and family members. In addition to her four sons, she has seven grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and 15 great-great grandchildren.

Glenette has been an active member of the Congregational-Presbyterian Church in Lewiston for more than 80 years. She will observe her birthday quietly at her home with family and friends.

> JULY 7 Larry Vincent, 80 Larry Vincent, a retired Nez Perce County farmer, was born in 1941. He was named Farm Citizen of the Year in 1998 by the Lewiston Chamber of Commerce.

Larry also served as an Idaho state legislator, Nez Perce County commissioner and was chairman of the Nez Perce County Fairboard, Idaho Commission on Aging, the state Traffic Safety Commission and the Culdesac school board.

He has three sons and one daughter, seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He lives in Culdesac with his wife, Betty.
