The volunteers come from all walks of life and “these people are awesome. They give so much time and they’re so incredibly smart. They become well educated in the program and provide services.”

Last year, the program assisted about 15,000 people in Idaho on an individual basis and closer to 30,000 in groups and health fairs.

Many times the biggest problems, she said, are people getting a grip on the coordination of benefits.

“A lot of times they may have other insurance through their employer and they don’t need to take all the parts of Medicare,” Holick said. “But they don’t know that, so they’re spending money unnecessarily.

“Also they don’t understand that the decisions that they make when they first go on Medicare are going to affect their health care coverage for the rest of their life. If you don’t take a supplement when you’re initially eligible for Medicare you may not be able to take it later.

“We also deal a lot when Medicare is not paying for something (helping people to) understand why and helping them to get corrected billing.”

Fuzzy caterpillar alert On

SOLUTION, Page 12

my daily walk with the dogs, I always look all around me, up at the trees, the sky, to each side, and most importantly down on the ground.

To my left, I noticed a little fuzzy black caterpillar about 1½ inches long crawling and zig-zagging his way across the street.

It was as though he was showing me that the caterpillar “keeps going,” with nature pushing him along the way. I felt blessed that this little caterpillar was showing me to never stop, never give up, keep moving and keep changing.

What You Need to Know About Prearranging Why Should I Prearrange Services?

I believe this to be nature’s message, a sign for me to witness and interpret as a lesson. If this little creature can cross this wide road, you too can make it through.

Cross the road, for it is on the other side that you’ll see differently, feel new and find your way.

During this troubling time, pay attention. Nature has a way to guide us. Watch for it. Spring is here to lift us up. The planet will correct itself, and during this time, it will encourage you, lead you and warm you with color, fresh air and healing energy. Bless this

fuzzy little black caterpillar and his message.

In response to this need, Havens said he and his staff developed the framework for the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program.

People who enroll in the program “will be matched to a single volunteer shopper and delivery driver, who will go to one store per week to shop for groceries for the client and deliver them to their homes,” the release said. The service is free, but clients must pay for their groceries.

“We’ve actively been working for well over a month ... designing the programs and then going after grant money” to fund them Havens said in a telephone interview with Golden Times. His

According to the news release, Interlink receives several phone calls each week from out-of-town sons and daughters who are worried about their elderly parents in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley who have no one to check up on them.

“Not only will this program strive to detect any problems at an early stage, but it will support a homebound senior’s men-

tal health by providing a friendly phone call each day,” Havens wrote.

The service will rely on volunteers willing to make daily phone calls, as well as additional financial support in order to continue beyond the initial stages.

The new services currently are being paid for by grants from the Innovia Foundation of Spokane and the Lewis-Clark Valley Healthcare Foundation.

My son, Deon, was showing me around his small ranch in Grass Valley, Calif.

Every time we walked past the chickens, he would reach down and scoop up Rupert, his beloved rooster.

You would have thought that Rupert was a kitty cat, the way he nestled into Deon’s left arm.

It was the end of the growing-and-picking season for berries and grapes, so Deon picked little clusters left here and there and threw them to the chickens.

They were half dried-out but still tasty to the chickens. Here is where Rupert showed his true colors, as he stepped back and kind of indicated with his shoulders to the little white hens that there was a treat down on the ground.Then he would show the hens where the blueberry or raspberry was lying by pointing with his beak to the treat and giving his special clucky rooster sound.

“It was 1985, when I spied this big house on Highland Street in Clarkston, which had been a boarding house.

It was for sale. I fell in love with it. I was told they were going to tear it down and build tract homes there.

‘No,’ I said to myself. ‘I can’t let that happen.’ I bought it, moved in and turned it into Highland House Bed-and-Breakfast, which I ran until retirement in 2006. That’s when I decided this was home.”

FOR GOLDEN TIMES

ow does a lady from England end up in the western United States, running a bed-and-breakfast in Clarkston and serving the community with her gifts of leadership?

Doreen Isaac talks about her 81 years of life adventures with enthusiasm. Her English accent gives away her beginnings in Spexhall, England, where she was born in 1938 to Arthur and Martha Alcock. Her brother Ray rounded out the family. Her father was a railway worker and her mother a homemaker. She attended a private all-girls school, where she learned to seek world adventures.

As a young adult, Isaac began her world exploration in person.

She traveled extensively and sought out the friendship of people to learn about their countries.

She described visiting an Middle Eastern country where a child befriended her and invited her home. His parents made coffee and served a meal. The women ate outside and the men inside.

“The parents offered for me to stay the night at their home.

They said they would sleep on the floor and I could have their bed. I was leaving the next day, so I turned down their gracious offer.” Isaac said. “When you get to know the people, you know the heart of the county.”

She found this kind of hospitality everywhere she traveled.

“I decided I wanted to share this same welcome in England, so I

When Isaac suffered a stroke in 2016, she received what she describes as three weeks of excellent therapy in Spokane. Once home, she was determined to bounce back. Her advice when you hit a hard snag in life: “Don’t just sit and do nothing. Become passionate about something and work hard to reach the place where you can do it.”

Her passion is her garden. Although her home no longer operates as a B&B, the spacious garden and keeping up the house keep her busy and serve as physical therapy. In winter when she can’t get out, she works on puzzles, plays games on the computer and chops kindling for the fireplace. She attributes her ambition to her English genes of independence.

“Determination creates quality life. But I’ve still a ways to go,” she laughed.

> 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.

Can Physical Therapy help with anterior hip pain?

The hip is a ball and socket joint with a ring of cartilage that supports the hip keeping the Levi Frasier, PT ball and socket in place. With repetitive activity, trauma, or arthritis the cartilage may be torn away from the bone leading to pain and limited activity.

Symptoms usually manifest in the front of the hip or groin and pain, stiffness or locking of the joint may be common complaints.

Physical therapy can be effective in the management of hip pain associated with labral tears with exercise, pain management, and education in activity pacing.

Contact the professional staff and the Institute of Physical therapy so we can evaluate and assist your recovery in relieving pain and restoring function of anterior hip pain.

R

ecently, there has been great concern with the lack of availability of bathroom tissue. As a kid, we weren’t overly worried about this product because we had other options. One was the high level of access to catalogs from Sears and Roebuck, Montgomery Ward and other large mail-order companies.

Personally, I enjoyed the availability of Boy’s Life magazine. I focused on the ads in LIFE ON the back of the publiTHE HILL cation. One such ad was a pitch for a body-building course

by Charles Atlas. I knew one guy who actually purchased the material. After completion of the course, he wrote to Mr. Atlas. He said, “Dear Charles, I’ve completed your course. Please send me my muscles.”

I don’t know if he ever received them. From what I could tell, they must have been on back order.

His think tank has a unique feature like no other, I’m sure: The roof has a skylight made from a section of plexiglass from a B-17 bomber. Don’t ask me how he got it; I have no clue. He calls his facility the “Schmidt House.” In honor of the former property owners.

He keeps it well stocked with catalogs and corn cobs.

I know this hut is a place of inspiration, because of the ideas he has come up with.

Ideas like the gas-powered can opener and the gas-powered blender. Both of these devices can be used outside with no electrical outlet. They consist of weed trimmer motors connected to the appliances by drive shafts. Both are very

cool for campers or tailgating football fans. Again, these ideas are the fruit of time spent in the think tank.
