The surrounding docks were brilliant with boxes of nasturtiums, and at one, Grandad’s launch, “The Reliable” was resting. He had used it for public transportation to fund their quiet lifestyle. Gladys and I can still imitate the sound it made as it bellowed into life with the huge effort Grandad made to crank it: ker-chunk, kerchunk, ker-chunk. The front door of the houseboat entered into a tiny kitchen half filled with a wood cook stove. Listen-

gallons of water out of the lake to fall back into it. Bonus: Sometimes we got tiny fish, too. The radio that Grandad played with in the wee hours of the morning gave him music and strange banter from other sides of the world. The bluff near the houseboat had broken wooden stairs to take us up to the abandoned summer home, somewhat furnished with odd bits of wicker furniture. We felt right at home there, viewing the lake and pretending a life there. Outside, we tossed rocks over the bank to break them, then clambered down to the beach to see the amazing and entertaining patterns that had been hidden inside. Taking the rowboat to the miniature island, we explored it thoroughly. It was our private life abroad, and the big rocks and tiny woods gave it a charming personality. I spent many an hour sifting through the sand of its small beach for arrowheads. Yes, I found a few. Our drinking water source was on the 1800s homestead of my grandparents.

who- or whatever. Exploring this site for signs of that past time led us to a melted treadle sewing machine (the home had burned down about 1900) and the covered root cellar where Gladys and I delighted in the collection of ladies magazines of yesteryear. Gramma insisted we leave them there “where they belonged.” While walking the mile or more to this site, Gramma saved dozens of lives. The bees loved the thistle but got stuck in them. She walked and plucked as she went. Two longs and a short was the call to Gramma’s phone, from which she ordered groceries, and they came on the mail boat daily. One day I was alone in the house and answered the call to hear a neighbor say they had a fire and please call the neighbors. I dialed the only number I knew. It was the same neighbor. So I filled a bucket at the lake and started up the mile-or-more trail to their home. At their gate, I noted there was a pipe and water hydrant there — and the fire was out. I’ve never told this story before ’cause no one would believe it. DO YOU?

ewiston’s American Legion (Lewis-Clark Post 13) baseball team won its 39th Idaho state championship July 30 in Twin Falls by beating Idaho Falls 3-2 in 10 innings. That is more state titles than any other Idaho team. Maybe it doesn’t seem unusual that the Legion team has won so many titles because, after all, the small college national world series (NAIA) is played in Lewiston, and the local Lewis-Clark State College team has won it 19 times. Fifteen of the LCSC players have made it to the major leagues. After all, Lewiston had a minor league professional baseball team for more than 20 years (1937, 1939 and 1952-74); and after all, Lewiston has the lowest elevation (700 feet), and this is good summertime temperatures for baseball. Based on those “after alls,� Lewiston must have had American Legion baseball forever, maybe around 100 years. Well, not really, because the organization called the American Legion didn’t start nationally, and in Lewiston, until after World War I in 1910. Legion baseball started in the United States and in Idaho in 1926, but Lewiston didn’t have its first team until 1939. Before tournament games, the players from each team line up and repeat these touching words:

The idea of American Legion Baseball from the beginning was that local play in each state would lead to state champions and work its way up to a Legion World Series and a national vhampion. Two significant events happened at Lewis-Clark Post 13 in the late 1930s. In 1938, it built a new home at 1121 Eighth Ave., a block from Lewiston High School, and in 1939, the post began sponsoring a local Legion baseball team. Over 70 years later, post members are still meeting at the same location and, as mentioned earlier, the baseball team is still going strong. Lewiston High’s then-new coach, Dunc Branom, started baseball at the school in 1938, and a year later, he started and coached the first team in 1939, and he also coached the 1940 and 1941 teams. Dwight Church was a 14year-old on that 1939 team, but he played on the next three state championship teams (1940, ’41 and ’42), and went on to be the most well-known name in the history of Legion baseball in Lewiston. After graduating from Lewiston High in 1943, he served in the Navy. He attended North Idaho College of Education (now LCSC) after the war and played a couple of years of minor

It was Ozzie Kanikkeberg’s second season, and he, like some others on the 1942 team, had at least one more year of eligibility, but Lewiston didn’t have teams in 1943, ’44 or ’45 because of World War II. After Navy duty in the war, the little infielder from the small town of Kendrick played baseball four years at the University of Idaho. After graduation, he became one of the most popular and successful small school basketball coaches in Idaho history. His teams won more than 600 games, including three state champions at Genesee.

Lewiston Civic Theatre: ‘ Always at the mercy of the elements’

T

John Nydegger, 90, drama and speech professor who retired from Lewis-Clark State College. He served the L-C Valley community for 24 years, was instrumental in shaping the Lewiston Civic Theatre and was instrumental in building the LCSC speech and drama program from the ground up.

he Lewiston-Clarkston Valley has watched the drama surrounding the Lewiston Civic Theatre building at 805 Sixth Ave. unfold for almost a year. In August 2016, Lewiston’s building official, John Smith, condemned the building because water damage had compromised the safety of the structure. In addition, the city closed the road at Eighth Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues as a safety precaution should the building collapse. Six months later, the theater told the Lewiston City Council it didn’t have the means to make needed repairs on the building and deeded the property over to the city. In April, an 8-foot fence was installed around the structure, and the road reopened. The community waits to see what will become of the old church that has been the home of the Lewiston Civic Theatre for the past 45 years. Once alive with laughter, song and dance, the building now stands empty, the stage and seats collecting dust.

Prologue

golden times

MOND A Y, SE P TEM B E R 4 , 2 0 1 7

aCT i: nO sTAGE FOR THE Opening scene Theatrical productions debuted in 1961 in the valley with a group of actors calling themselves the Banana Belt Theatre. Their first performance was for the Lewiston Centennial Celebration. With a vision of making theater a permanent fixture in the L-C Valley, the troupe’s members began to get organized. They elected officers and a board of directors, and began offering performances to the public. In December 1963, however, the president of the group, James J. Pietz, met with the board of directors to discuss disbanding. The group had no permanent home, which meant there was no place to store costumes, sets and props. The group needed its own space. If it were to survive, it would also need to go in a new direction. Nydegger had moved to Lewiston earlier that year, and was working at Lewis-Clark Normal School, (now LewisClark State College). “Jim Pietz approached me and asked me if I would consider putting together a civic theater like the one I had put together in Iowa,” Nydegger said. “I accepted the challenge, and the Lewiston Civic Theatre was born. The only thing we needed was a venue.”

ACT ii: a steady drizzle at the Porthouse Theatre Charles Kemenak, the Lewiston Parks and Recreation director, heard of the theater’s problems, and offered the group a possible venue. The beach house as it was known, was a brick bathhouse which stood at the south end of what is now Kiwanis Park. “The beach house was an old, abandoned, tiny little building on Snake River Avenue, located on Lewiston Beach, which was directly across from the Clarkston Public Beach. When I first saw it, all the windows had been broken out,” Nydegger said. “But we loved the gift we had received from the city and began refurbishing the little house. For us, it was a work of pure love.” With some financial support from local businesses and a lot > See theNextStage, page 12 M O N D A Y, S E P T E M B E R 4 , 2 0 1 7

> Continued from Page 11 of hard work on the part of Lewiston Civic Theatre members, it wasn’t long before the beach house began to look more like a theater. As the remodel neared completion, people started bringing personal items from home with which to furnish the building. Nydegger remembers bringing in an old window air conditioner to battle the heat during summer performances. The transformed beach house was given a new name — the Porthouse Theatre. It had a 12-

… the next stage by 20-foot stage and could seat 25 people. “The first show we did at the Porthouse was one of the old-time melodramas — you know, where the audience hisses at the villain and cheers the hero.” David Leroy, a Lewiston High graduate who would become Idaho’s 36th lieutenant governor and the state attorney general, played the part of the villain. Hennigan remembers the Porthouse Theatre golden times

as well. “One of the first productions they did there was the ‘Magruder Murder Mystery.’ It was a trial-based play. Dan Quinlan Sr., a local attorney, was in it, as was Dr. Bob Wilson, a local children’s dentist.”

He and Nydegger co-directed plays for a while, until Scheibe took over as the theater’s permanent director, eventually being hired as the artistic director for the City of Lewiston, a position he would hold until his retirement. Scheibe’s penchant for excellence is demonstrated in an early memory he has of a rehearsal for “Bus Stop,” at the Porthouse Theatre. Reportedly, Scheibe became annoyed that the entire cast showed up half an hour late for rehearsal. He informed the cast that they should give him a call if they felt like coming to rehearsal and he would think about showing up. Reportedly, the next M O N D A Y, S E P T E M B E R 4 , 2 0 1 7

day, he was given a call, and all of the performers were on time after that. Scheibe demanded excellence and received it, something L-CValley patrons began to become accustomed to. “The Porthouse Theater was always at the mercy of the elements,” Nydegger said. “If it rained, we suffered rain. If it snowed, we suffered snow. If we had a couple of nice days, we reveled in them. But the real problem was the Snake River.” Before the dams were put in, if the river flooded, the Porthouse flooded. When the river water receded, it left standing water and thick mud all over the floors, Nydegger said. Many perforg o l den t i mes

mances were canceled because of flooding. If a show was in progress when the water began to rise however, cast members and audience alike kept a close watch on the amount of water seeping in under the door, placed sandbags in front of the main entrance, and prayed that performers and audience alike wouldn’t be swept away.

… the next stage remodeled to include a box office and an office for Scheibe. The backstage was remodeled and restrooms were installed for the performers. The Civic Theatre also restored all the beautiful stained glass windows in the building — a special project of former board member Jackie Haight. Nydegger said he felt Scheibe worked miracles on stage at the civic. “He is a great director with vision. It was Scheibe who mixed things up and brought memorable, professional shows to the valley.”

> Continued from Page 13 its need for a larger venue. The group began staging performances at Lewiston High School and Lewis-Clark Normal School auditoriums. Hennigan said that when he and his family moved to Lewiston in the fall of 1969, the first performance they saw was “The Lion in Winter,” and it was performed on an outdoor stage which was built off the loading dock doors just off the LCSC theater. “They just built a stage out of platforms, and they had outdoor performances. Just bring your own chair,” Hennigan said. In the early 1970s, when Lower Granite Dam was under construction, the Civic Theatre abandoned the Porthouse and moved into a building along Main Street in Lewiston. Located across from Eng’s Restaurant, it was near where Towne Square is currently located. The group named this location the Goldstone Storefront Theatre.

Act V: Church Conversion With a goal of building their own playhouse, Thomas Campbell, the president of the theater’s board of directors at the time, began a fundraising campaign. Although a great deal of money was raised by the community, it was not enough to build the theater they had hoped for. When the Methodist church building was offered for sale for $40,000, the Civic Theatre found its new home. The church was renamed the Anne Bollinger Art Center, in honor of an opera singer born in 1919 in Lewiston. The first show performed at the new location was in September 1972. According to a Tribune article written in 1985, there was an overlap between the congregation moving out and the theater group moving in. Fred Scheibe was directing the show. “We were sharing the stage,” he is quoted as saying. “The minister, Edsel White, said it picked up his business, be-

In fact, for a while, his pulpit was an old beaten-up Volkswagen that was one of our props.” Hennigan remembers then-Gov.

designed and stage managed” that second production. Over the years, a great deal of transformative work was done to the old building as it morphed from a church to a viable theater. The auditorium was remodeled. The owners of the Roxy Theater donated their seats to the Civic Theatre when it closed, and these were re-stuffed, reupholstered and painted. A new stage was built. The downstairs lobby was

The Lewiston Civic Theatre thrived along Sixth for 46 years. As time passed, however, the gothic stone building declined, as old buildings do, eventually causing it to be a potential hazard. “When it was condemned, the poor place mentally and emotionally fell to pieces,” Nydegger said. In the end, “It was nobody’s fault, but … it was everybody’s fault. “It was built to be a church. You could keep pouring thousands of dollars into that old building, but it is still going to be a church.” He said he hopes the next home of the Lewiston Civic Theatre is more conducive to the needs of the community in terms of size and place. Hennigan agreed. “My hope is that space can be found in the current Lewiston High School auditorium. I think that building, as we move into the new high school construction phase, has a lot of potential to house the civic. I don’t know if that is a permanent solution or if it would be better than building from the ground up, but it certainly is a space we could use.” When asked what the future of the Civic Theatre holds, Nydegger was blunt: “Unless the civic gets some sizable amounts of money, it is going to continue to be homeless. They will be vagabonds — which, when you think about it, they have been for the past 50 years.” MOND A Y, SE P TEM B E R 4 , 2 0 1 7

In metropolitan areas, Las Vegas ran counter to the national trend. In 2006, the fatal accident rate among older workers in the Las Vegas metropolitan area was lower than the rate among all workers. But by 2015, the rate of deaths among older workers more than doubled even as the rate

among all workers declined. Transportation accidents account for a large portion of fatal workplace incidents among both older workers and workers in general. In one such incident, Ruan Qiang Hua, 58, died last Nov. 21 from injuries suffered in a forklift accident at Good View Roofing and Building Supply warehouse, according to the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration. After a bag of mortar fell from the pallet, Qiang backed up

and rolled off a ramp. The forklift tipped over and Qian was crushed when he jumped off. The agency fined the San Francisco-based company $62,320, saying it had failed to ensure that forklift operators were competent and wore seat belts. The company is appealing the penalties, according to OSHA. Records show that Hua was not properly trained or certified as a forklift operator. Video of the incident showed he was not wearing his seat belt. Other video from the worksite showed that other forklift operators also had not used their seat belts and that the employer failed to install a curb along the sides of the ramp to prevent the lifts from running off the ramp. The company declined to comment. In California, the 2015 rate of fatal accidents was 3.4 per 100,000 workers for older workers, 60 percent higher than the rate for all workers. The AP analysis showed that older workers were involved in about 1 in 4 fatal workplace accidents related to fires and explosions from 2011 to 2015. In April 2014, Earle Robinson, 60, and other employees were doing maintenance work at Bryan Texas Utilities

Power Plant, about 100 miles north of Houston, when there was a loud explosion. Workers called 911 and pleaded for help. “He’s in bad shape. He’s got a lot of facial burns,” according to a transcript of the 911 calls. “He’s got some pretty bad burns.” Robinson was taken to a hospital in Houston and died days later. The company declined to comment for this story. The year Robinson died, the fatality rate among older workers in Texas was 6.1 per 100,000 workers — 43 percent higher than the accident rate for all workers. The National Center for Productive Aging and Work is pushing for changes in the workplace to make it safer for older workers. The year-old center is part of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. “We advocate to make workplaces as age-friendly as possible,” said co-director James Grosch. For example, increased lighting helps older workers whose eyesight has weakened with age. He said the center is emphasizing productive aging and looking at “how people can be more productive, how their wisdom can be leveraged in a workplace.”

QU I C K TRI P The builders of the Bath Village Covered Bridge (below) are unknown, but they apparently knew what they were doing. Built in 1832 and restored in 1988, New Hampshire’s longest covered bridge is still functional. It owes its longevity partly to good engineering and partly to its strict speed limit. The Gerta III (below, far left) was built in 1928 as a Danish lighthouse tender. In 1943, it began smuggling approximately 300 Jewish refugees and as many as 700 resistance fighters, Allied pilots and parachutists from Denmark to Sweden. Last fall, it was on display for the first time in the United States in Mystic Seaport, Conn.

WHO — Bruce Matteston, then 66, and his sister, Joan Bowen, then 56, both of Lewiston WHERE — Trip to six New England States: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine WHEN — September and October 2016 WORST MEMORY — Rush hour traffic in Hartford, Conn., with freeway construction and city buses that will not be slowed down BEST MEMORY — Revolutionary War history in the Boston area TOP STOP — Tough call. The Mystic, Conn., seaport was a surprisingly interesting venue, and the Cog Railway to the top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire was awesome. We also went out of our way to hunt down lots of covered bridges and watch the sunrise at the Portland, Maine, Headlight (a lighthouse). OVERALL TRIP RATING — Five stars ——— Quick Trip is a new Golden Times feature showcasing readers’ vacation memories. Readers 55 or older who would like to participate may send no more than five photos of a recent trip with very brief (this is a quick trip, after all) photo captions and answers to these seven categories to Golden Times editor Julie Breslin at jbreslin@lmtribune.com. Electronic submissions are preferred, but print photos and information may be mailed to Golden Times at Lewiston Tribune, 505 Capital St., Lewiston, ID 83501. Questions may be directed to Breslin at (208) 848-2241. Deadline for the October edition is 5 p.m. Sept. 15.

“The Cog” railway tracks make a steep ascent on Mount Washington in New Hampshire (left). Passengers are hauled up the grade, which reaches 35 percent at some points, by steam engine (above) or biodiesel locomotives. At 3,625 feet, Mount Washington is the highest point in the U.S. east of the Mississippi River. The highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was clocked here in 1934: 231 mph. This first cog system built in the world in 1869 was invented by Sylvester Marsh. M O N D A Y, S E P T E M B E R 4 , 2 0 1 7

Physical Therapy improves health and is effective for its cost.

''

To develop an understanding of physical therapy’s cost-effectiveness, a powerful study called a systematic review was conducted. This systematic review collected all the available Larry Ohman, PT, OCS evidence on the cost-effectiveness of physical therapy compared to usual care, which included appointments with doctors, medications and other services. Its goal was to determine just how cost-effective physical therapy is for patients to better guide treatment decision-making. Results from this systematic review showed that physical therapy, either on its own or added to usual care, led to improved health. This was found to be the case in almost all studies included. Regarding cost-effectiveness, six out of eight studies found that physical therapy on its own was cost-effective when compared to usual care. In addition, four out of 11 studies found physical therapy to be cost-effective when combined with usual care. Overall, this amounted to more than half of the studies supporting the cost-effectiveness of physical therapy. One reason this figure is not higher is the fact that different definitions of cost-effectiveness were used in the included studies. This may have made it difficult to determine the true cost-effectiveness of physical therapy. Nonetheless, this review shows that physical therapy is beneficial for leading to improvements in health, and it is generally cost-effective for patients.
