Can physical therapy help with a diagnosis of “flat feet” or over pronation?

The phrase “flat feet” is synonymous with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction Levi Frasier, PT or insufficiency. This particular tendon is responsible for holding up the inside arch of the foot and can become inflamed or torn with weight bearing activity.

With the tendon dysfunction walking or running may be difficult which may limit work tolerance and tolerance to daily activity. The tibialis posterior muscle originates at the back of your lower leg bones and attaches on the bottom of your foot. Without the contribution of the posterior tibialis the arch cannot be sufficiently maintained. A complete physical therapy evaluation can determine proper exercises to not only decrease pain and swelling but allow for improvement in arch support with strength and stabilization exercises. Physical therapists have the knowledge to determine proper shoe wear with or without the use of custom or over the counter orthotics/ supports. Contact the professional staff at the Institute of Physical Therapy if you need help in relieving pain and restoring function with your debilitating arch pain.

Reader Essay: Was it a case of unconditional love or payback?

I

called him “the pest” when my mother was not around. She liked Freddie, even when he still had egg on his face from breakfast, or when his hair was a tousled mess because he hadn’t bothered to brush it.

He was three years younger than I was, and at 12, I felt I had outgrown anyone of such a terrible age — especially a boy.

His family lived just across the back fence from us in Clarkston. It was an old house, used as a rental, with a long driveway leading to a barn on the back.

It was where they stored their car. The long driveway was lined with ancient lilac bushes that managed to bloom magnificently each year.

Every few days, Freddie would come knocking at

the back door to see if I would come out and play ball. I would suddenly remember that I had to practice my violin, something my mother thought I neglected too often.

Because of that excuse, she didn’t dare send me out to play ball with Freddie.

I practiced so much that I actually got moved up one chair in the school orchestra. That didn’t sit well with Katie Green and Melva Jensen. My moving up caused me to sit between them. They practiced together so that they could stay the same in ability and always be together.

Because of Freddie, I kept practicing, and one day, Mr. Wayne, the director, moved me up one more chair — and I was a bit ahead of Melva Jensen. She

didn’t care because she had Katie back beside her.

One day, someone knocked on the front door and when I answered, there stood Freddie. I guess he thought that he might have better luck if he came to the front door.

“Would you like to go to the movies?” he began.

“I have lots of looneum so that we both can get in.”

It was during the days of World War II. Aluminum was a much-needed metal for war defense, and yes, we kids could get into the movies simply by bringing old aluminum pans and kettles to the theater.

I was appalled. I could never face my friends if I showed up at the theater with a younger boy. It made me gag to think of it.

He bothered me less

during the winter, but when spring came and the lilacs along his driveway were so beautiful, here he came with a huge bouquet, wrapped in newspaper.

My mother was ecstatic.

You would have thought he meant them for her, but he specifically gave them to me, with a big smile. I even felt kindly toward him for a moment or two.

Mother took over, and soon had them arranged in a large vase.

Freddie left and before long a terrible odor filled the dining room where the lilacs had been placed.

“What is that smell?” I asked mother. She ran to get the newspaper the lilacs had been wrapped in.

She dropped it quickly and began carrying the lilacs to the back porch. “Fred-

die has wrapped these lilacs in the same paper that fish were wrapped in,” she shouted back to me.

We knew that Freddie’s dad loved to fish and sometimes took Freddie with him. They had no doubt been out that morning, returning with a good catch.

This question has lingered to haunt me all these years. Did Freddie finally find a way to get even with me? Did those years of my being too busy for him finally make him want to even the score? Or was he just the neighbor boy who wanted to share the lovely lilacs with me in spite of my attitude?

Who knows?

— Ruth Bosserman, 91, of Clarkston

teresting because we had no track. We would condition ourselves by running along the highway, trying to avoid being hit by passing logging trucks.

The snowbanks didn’t melt until mid-June so it was an adventure just to survive track season.

Playing basketball games in our high school gyms was epic. The buildings were old, the gyms small and attendance was amazing. Everyone came to the games. I don’t think there was a person left at home when Pierce and Weippe played each other. It’s a miracle to me that the buildings didn’t collapse from the cheering and stomping of school supporters.

During pregame warmups, we had to be careful when we went up with a shot. A player could easily smack into the wall at the end and break something. It was not uncommon for a foot to be stuck out from the sideline to trip players as they passed by on the court. Of course, the contests themselves were a model of good sportsmanship. We were always courteous to each other and never had any issues.

Well, almost never? No, it was a war all the time.

Throughout the years, friendships were made, and many remain to this day. I’d be remiss not to mention one encounter shared with me by Scott Platt, formerly of Pierce, following Weippe’s victorious climb to the state basketball championship

in 1961. Some guys from Pierce borrowed the sign commemorating the achievement from the Weippe city limits and moved it to the Weippe dump. It was soon corrected, but the sign was later relocated to the Pierce dump. That one took almost two weeks to be corrected, because most outsiders didn’t know the location of the Pierce dump.

The old saying held true: “It’s not whether you win or lose, but how bad did we beat Weippe?”

Not often enough, if my

memory is correct.

Ward, 72, lived in Headquarters from 1948-70. He graduated from Pierce High School and received a bachelor’s degree in education at Lewis-Clark Normal School (now Lewis-Clark State College). He’s now retired and living in Columbia, S.C., with Beth, his wife of 47 years. His goal with this column is to share the bonds of community developed on the Hill. His stories are fairly true — the names may or may not be changed to protect the guilty — with thanks to the many friends from Headquarters, Pierce and Weippe (and all the little wide spots between these towns) who enriched his life and fueled these memories.

Fred J. Arnzen, of Ferdinand, was born in 1940 in Cottonwood.

He was valedictorian of Ferdinand High School in 1958, and joined the Army soon after graduation, serving at Fort Sill, Okla., for two years. He then attended Kinman Business University in Spokane.

After college, Fred returned to the family farm to help his father. During the winters, he was kept busy helping the Ferdinand Highway District plow snow, building houses with Alan Slichter Construction, serving on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service board, and helping his local church by serving on the parish council.

He has continued to stay active on the farm, helping his brother, Randy, and nephew, Lucas, with day-to-day operations during busy seasons. He drives the sprayer and grain trucks, feeds cows and makes runs for parts.

In his spare time, Fred enjoys crossword puzzles, word searches, sudoku puzzles, watching Gonzaga Bulldogs basketball games and spending time with friends and family.

He also finds pleasure in the beauty of the Camas Prairie and surrounding area, and he can be seen taking drives nearly every Sunday.

Wally Rugg was born in 1923 in Cabri, Saskatchewan, Canada — the third of seven children born to Clarence and Ella Mae (Humphrey) Rugg.

When he was 4, Wally’s family moved to Peck. He graduated from Peck High School in 1942 and served with the Army Engineers from 1942-45, including two years in the South Pacific Theater. He retired from the Clearwater Tribune in Orofino, as a printer after 27 years of service.

He is a past commander of Post 3296 in Orofino and a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

He also is a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge.

In 1993, Wally moved from Orofino to Lewiston to be closer to his son, John, and daughters, Marilyn and Patty. He enjoys fishing, baseball, cribbage, bingo and a dance or two.

Audrey Jean (Gillespie) Jones of Clarkston was born in 1922 to John Carl and Mary Em (Powell) Gillespie at their family homestead in Lenore. She was the fifth of eight children.

Audrey moved to Lewiston in 1936 to attend and graduate from school.

She married Chester O. Jones on Jan. 20, 1940, in Orofino.

They were married 47 years before he died in 1987. Their family includes five sons (the oldest, Lynn, is deceased), four daughters, 21 grandchildren, 47 great-grandchildren and 31 great-great-grandchildren. Audrey and Chester ran Chet’s Limousine Service in the area for many years. She retired as a bookkeeper from the Vogue Shop in 1988. After retirement, she did a lot of traveling, visiting family and friends. She is a past member of the Soroptomist Club and the Eagles Club.

Hobbies include crocheting, doing crossword and jigsaw puzzles, playing Skipbo, watching the Mariners and Seahawks games and visiting with family and friends. She also has a great love of chocolate.

An open house is planned from 1 to 4 p.m. March 8 at 1430 Chestnut St., No. 16, Clarkston. The family asks that guests bring no gifts, just memories to share.

Jerome Schrempp of Lewiston was born in 1926 to Otto and Theresa (Bruder) Schrempp in Eagle Butte, S.D. He was the fourth of six sons who worked the family farm and served in the Army, stationed in the South and Central Pacific.

At the end of World War II, he was transferred to the American embassy in Tokyo.

Jerome married Jeanne Zellerhoff in 1950. They will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary in October.

They raised four daughters and were active in their neighborhood, Scouting and the Catholic church.

Other family includes seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, with a great-granddaughter due in June.

Scott and Judy Scribner pose for a portrait last month on the back deck of their ranch-style home on the outskirts on Grangeville. Although the Scribners grew up in the Pacific Northwest, they lived a majority of their lives in California. They retired to Idaho in 1991.

with their lives there. At least at first.

Auburn “was a historic place; part of the gold rush country and all the towns were, like, 25 miles apart,” Scott said. “Things were just starting to grow and, in the course of the 31 years we lived there, it went from just a small town like Grangeville to a bustling, traffic-crazy, developed place.”

The Scribners weren’t unfamiliar with Idaho.

Scott’s father, who had been a fireman in Seattle, retired and moved briefly to California. Within just a few months, the Scribners recalled, Scott’s parents realized they could not afford to live in California on a fireman’s pension. So, following the advice of friends, the elder Scribners moved to Bonners Ferry.

Scott and Judy visited them there and, on their way back home, they passed through Grangeville and were immediately struck by the small town.

When the urban spread of middle California got to be too much, the Scribners decided it was time for them to move. Their children were grown, Scott had retired, and Grangeville seemed the logical place.

“We were free to go anywhere we wanted to go … but when we added up all the pluses and minuses, Grangeville was always the answer,” Scott said.

Cost of living, he added, was a big factor.

Pete Caster/Golden Times

Scott and Judy Scribner sit on their back deck on a sunny February afternoon at their home in Grangeville.

“In the long run, with a small retirement income, you can get by really well” in Grangeville.

Following the move, the Scribners worked to embed themselves in their new community. Judy, who was in her early 50s at the time, continued to work as a nurse at the Idaho County Nursing Home for some years. Scott was busy laboring at their home, building fences, clearing land and tending a few head of cattle. They got involved in the Idaho County Cattlemen’s Association,

the county fair board, the museum board, the Syringa General hospital board and other service organizations. They also started a barbecue catering business, which they continue to do from time to time.

These activities helped them make friends and ease into the community — which can sometimes be a challenge in Idaho for transplants from California. For awhile, whenever they were asked where they were from, they skirted the issue.

“We didn’t come right M O N D A Y, M A R C H 2 , 2 0 2 0

they could move to Idaho.”

The Scribners return to California once in awhile to visit their family, including their three children, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. But the traffic has only gotten worse, and they’re always eager to return home.

“We travel around, and we’ve been to lots of different places, but we kept coming back to Grangeville because it’s complete,” Scott said. “It’s like Mayberry. It’s a different culture here. It’s friendlier; it’s easy to get acquainted with people here.

We’ve got a hospital, we’ve got a theater that plays a movie every day, it’s got two or three little restaurants, it’s got little coffee groups in the morning, and it’s got the (Idaho County Veteran’s Center).

“And our outdoor recreation is right here in our backyard. The four seasons aren’t that extreme, and how can you beat it?

It’s perfect. I never looked back, and I’ll never be an old-timer here because old-timers here are really old-timers.”

out and tell people,” Judy said. “A lot of times we said that we were originally from Seattle — that was our answer.”

“But we used to work in California,” Scott added.

Their involvement in the community and genuine affection for the people and the lifestyle, however, quickly overcame any prejudice that might have been there.

“We didn’t try to bring in our California ways,” Scott said. “I know a lot of people that will try to say, ‘Well, this is the way we did it in California,’ and that isn’t the way to make friends.”

The Scribners have noticed other transplants who immediately get involved in the community, volunteering and helping out however they can.

Those people are usually successful and readily become a welcome part of the community, they said.

“We’re trying to assimilate ourselves into this community instead of trying to make the community change,” Scott said. “We like it like it is.”

What they’ve noticed, also, is that friends of theirs who visit from California also become intrigued with the area.

’m in an exercise class where it seems no one ever dies. I know that is a bold statement, but it’s true. These are people that are anything but young, but for decades they’ve come to the same instructor, wherever she teaches.

They fill the big exercise room three times a week. They could (and have) made college-age students feel shame as they try to keep up.

One such student had to come because he had missed too many physical education classes at the college. I saw the condescending look on his face at first, as he prepared to wipe us all out; but in about 10 minutes, he was panting to keep up.

One retired doctor is soon turn-

ing 94. I’m just 5 months younger.

One couple who are 88 have been coming to the classes for years. At various times one or the other of them has undergone surgery, but they’re back as soon as the wounds heal. My next door neighbor is up and in her swimsuit before 4:30 a.m. She drives herself to the aquatic center in Clarkston and is the first one into the pool. I’ve never seen her sick.

I think I’ve figured it out, though — this is the generation that went through the Great Depression. The older I get, the more grateful I am to have known hunger, to have been given the guts to depend on myself for my needs, not whine to my kids or neighbors for help.

Having been born in 1926, I

knew nothing of the onset of the Depression years until one fateful day at our home in Rosholt, S.D.: Half of the barn had been a chicken coop, and as I was cleaning it out, trying to make it into a theater, I discovered bankruptcy papers.

I didn’t know what that meant, so I showed the papers to Mama and Papa. Their faces turned red with embarrassment as they explained to their 10-year-old daughter how the 1929 stock market crash changed our lives.

“Helen, when you were 3 years old, the Great Depression hit,” Papa explained. “We all thought that, ‘This is America, the greatest country in the world — we’d soon figure out how to make this end.’

But in another year, the banks all closed. We had a lot of money in the bank, but we lost every cent.

Then, too, I haven’t had cancer, stroke, heart attack or any of the things that have killed people off decades before me — likely because I somehow found the will power to quit smoking cold turkey.

Getting a bachelor’s degree from Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston at 85 sharpened my brain. I found it fun and easy. Old dudes and dudettes have had so many experiences in life that they would be an asset to LCSC. It got my juices flowing for sure. I felt 10 years younger going there. I loved every minute of it.

A positive spirit, loving Jesus and one’s fellow man, caring enough for oneself to be clean in body, mind and spirit all contribute to wellness. Throw in exercise every day, and one can age backward, I believe.

There was no Federal Reserve then.”

“Papa lined up with everyone else in a long line, hoping to get a little bit,” Mama said, “but when there were only two men ahead of him, the banker came out with tears rolling down his cheeks.

He said, ‘Men, I am so sorry, but there isn’t a penny left in the bank.’ That’s when we became really poor — just like everyone else.”

My formerly well-fixed parents had to learn to be poor. We didn’t feel it badly for a couple of years, until the drought took every rancher’s dream of making it through with the next big crop. Mama lost the two hired girls, and Papa had to let go of the 12 hired men who helped on the farm.

But I digress. Back to the aging and toughening-up. I can be seen at Smart Fitness three times a week. I’m the one with the chair. I can’t do much aerobics standing with my plaque-blocked artery, but expect to have a procedure to unblock it soon. You can see that I’m anything but a perfect specimen. If I rattled off the litany of serious situations going on in my body, you’d wonder why I’m still alive — but I have an iron will and just won’t give up.
