uster and Roberta first met at the Haywood Pavilion, across the Middle Fork of the Clearwater River from Kooskia. They danced every slow dance that night. He was so bashful that when the dance party was over, she asked him, “Well, are you going to take me home?”

The rest of their lives together started that night.

Seventy-two years ago on Feb. 28, 1947, Lawrence (Buster) and Roberta Belle Smith were married in Lewiston. The minister’s wife and Buster’s mother were the witnesses. The ceremony cost $5 cash.

The couple were living in Stites when the big flood of 1948 washed through their house and destroyed almost all their pictures and belongings. The neighbors helped them with a place to stay until they found another home. Buster was working for the state doing road maintenance.

They spent one year in Coos Bay, Ore., but Roberta said they had to leave because it rained so much the boys’ diapers wouldn’t dry. Buster later worked on M O N D A Y, M A R C H 4 , 2 0 1 9

portable sawmills, logging, and finally ended up at the Potlatch Corp. mill in Lewiston for 30 years.

Buster always had to have some livestock around, and he enjoyed going to the livestock auction and bringing home a surprise to be taken care of or butchered. Wild game also played a large part in the family’s menu, along with sourdough hotcakes most mornings.

Roberta also liked the outdoors and their large garden, especially her flower garden. She raised many different kinds of varieties, but she really loves dahlias.

She was known as a great cook, and the family was always well fed.

Camping was a regular part of the Howards’ life.

The Red River area was a favorite spot. Shared activities and always eating together as a family contributed to their close ties.

Buster and Roberta raised five children: Terry (wife Christine), Bruce (wife Pam), Tonda, Dan (wife Louise) and Greg (wife Kandi), two of whom have celebrated 50 years of

marriage. They raised their children at 1532 Hemlock Ave. in the Orchards, where the family lived for 50 years. Family also includes 17 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

Buster was proud of the fact that he and all the boys worked for Potlatch and Clearwater Paper, where they collectively worked a total of 181 years when they all retired.

Following guidelines they learned studying the Bible together, Buster and Roberta never had loud arguments or disagreements in front of their children. They spent years in volunteer work, sharing the Bible’s hope of life on a paradise Earth, with no sickness or death. The couple credits this hope for the future for sustaining them through 72 years of life together with more to come. They write that they look forward to the fulfillment of the promise found in Psalms 37: 9, 10 and 29.

“It has been quite a ride.”

— Buster, 92, and Roberta, 91, live in Lewiston.

Why do we target hip strength in patellofemoral knee pain programs?

Initial evidence would suggest that traditional treatment with focus on quadriceps strengthening in Levi Frasier, PT particular the VMO, patellar taping and modification of activity would be the primary course of treatment for patellofemoral pain.

Currently, evidence has focused more on the influence of hip strengthening to address pain at the knee. Recent literature reviews and research conducted by John Schneider, DPT, CSCS determined that addressing strength of the hip abductors and external rotators of the hip have significant impacts of the duration of treatment and improvement in knee mechanics with functional activity. Gluteus medius activity increases with stair descent while quadriceps activity is delayed and of shorter duration therefore it is important to focus on hip strength in addition to knee strength for proper knee mechanics. Several studies conclude reduced pain severity at 3, 6 and 12 month follow-ups in addition to improved outcome measures of strength and function.

Please contant the Institute of Physical Therapy if you are experiencing knee pain and we will specifically address your knee pain which based on several studies will include hip strengthening. Let us know how we can help you relieve pain and restore function of your knee.

Mind over matter

Lewiston-Clarkston Valley residents share tips on clearing out the clutter that’s choking your life

It

courage over clutter >TIDYING TIPS FROM A PRO

By SHARON HOSELEY • FOR GOLDEN TIMES has been said if a human isn’t there to tame nature, nature goes wild.

Clutter has the same penchant: If you don’t tame it, it goes wild. We tunnel through it in our homes, shuffle old receipts in our wallets, steady the stack of junk on the passenger seat as we round corners, hunt for hours for something to wear.

Clutter robs us of time, space and energy and can leave a mess for our kids to inherit.

How do we break free? Local residents shared their best decluttering tips in face-to-face encounters and on Facebook: “Move. All that packing and unpacking forces you to prioritize and declutter.” — Beth Westerholm, 53, Lewiston “I got married, sold my house and moved to a smaller condo.” — Peggy WoodsBlood, 79, Lewiston

KEEP

“Leave it out long enough that your husband pitches it out.” — Judy Jacobe, 70, Clarkston For those of us who can’t move, marry or rely on a spouse to do the dirty work, there’s still hope.

First, self-talk must get stern and serious.

Why are we holding onto things in the first place? And how can we let go of objects with emotional ties to those we love?

“Not everything sentimental needs to be saved. We don’t live in shrines. We live in homes.

“Stop feeling guilty about things we’ve inherited or been given. Gifts are things meant to bless not burden. … Getting rid of things does not mean you stopped loving the person who gave it to you. ... Remember things have seasons just like weather.” — Robin Harvey, 61, Lewiston “For special items I’ve been given, I take a picture, date it, write who gave it and put it in an album. I can still enjoy it but give it away for others to enjoy.” — Vicki Frei, 62, Clarkston Mental security also is a collector of items that “might come in handy, someday.” This thinking plagues those who’ve lived through depressions, poverty and parents who hoarded. Teachers and crafty people become overwhelmed with stuff they’re saving for future projects. Waste not, want not is a good principle, but taken to the extreme, this reasoning can walk us into hanging onto things we haven’t and won’t use in years. How do we know when we’ve crossed the line?

“I think we need to declutter our mind of thinking, ‘I must keep it because … ’ (the many

8

excuses). What a burden to our children to keep donate.” — Cathy Edmonson, 60, Lewiston things just because we can’t give it up or throw Practical obstacles also stand between us it away.” — Carolyn Hamm, 67, Lewiston and a tidy life. The amount of work required “My house is 800 square feet. I keep my can overwhelm. Where do you begin? possessions to an as-need limit other than Dana K. White in her book “Decluttering painting supplies. I have too many of those and at the Speed of Life” suggests you start with not enough time to paint. Clutter disturbs me, the most visible spaces. First, remove the and I’m not fond of shopping, so I feel I have a first layer called “trash.” Second, put things good balance for both my lifestyle and financial in their proper place. Third, “duh-clutter” means by living in a small house without many the stuff you’ve never liked but hung onto. possessions.” — Shelly Larsen, 56, Clarkston Fourth, ask “If I need this, where would “Don’t think ‘de-clutter,’ think ‘editing.’ Keep I look for it?” And fifth, how much can only the most special keepsakes. Give away, each container in this room hold? Pare sell or toss what doesn’t work for you and look it down so it fits the container. beautiful.” — Harvey If you find yourself being wishy“First you need to have a mind change that washy about getting serious with the you don’t need the item. Second, remove the item from the home. Third do not take it back.” problem, enlist help. Don’t be embarrassed or proud. We all need support — Cyndra Broenneke, 68, Asotin in times like this.

What about the “someday” closet? You know, “Invite a dear friend over for a half the one full of clothes you’ve not worn for years a day. Hand (your friend) something to because “someday ...” Are your hangers full of drink; do not sit down. Go to the clutgarments that might bless someone else? tered room, one room at a time. As you pick up an item, choose a destination “I turn all my clothes hangers around.When — thrift store, charity, etc. — and hand I wear something I turn the hangar the right it to your friend, who takes it away way. At the end of the year I can easily see while you keep going. When it’s time what I haven’t worn. Then I donate it or trade to call it a success, reward yourselves another outfit for it. I have to get rid of as with a relaxing time and a nice treat.” many outfits as I have backwards hangers.”

— Kathi Meshishnek, 71, Asotin — BobbiJo Smith, 67, Asotin “One small thing: When I buy a new article of clothing, I take at least one piece out of my closet/drawer and put it in a bag to GOLDEN TIMES

THROW AWAY

The “Relationship Doctor” Linda Mintle suggests these steps to healthy separation from your stuff. These tips come from the second hour of “Who Likes Change?” the Jan. 10 program of “In the Market with Janet Parshall.”It can be accessed at www.moodyradio.org.

1. OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE CLUTTER. We’re desensitized to our environment. Walk into a room and see it through the eyes of a stranger who’s visiting. You’ll see an amazing mess, but you’re not ready at this stage to tackle it.

2. ADMIT TO THE NEED, AND WEIGH THE PROS AND CONS OF TACKLING THE JOB. Reality sets in. It needs to be faced, but you’re still not ready to jump into action.

3. BUILD A PLAN ON PAPER.  Begin with the most visible room and create a timeline to get it done.  Ask yourself, “Will I sort and orga-

nize or randomly box?” You will need boxes.  Make a list of places to distribute, sell or gift items. Label the boxes.  Design the operation to fit your personality and work style.  Draw a picture of the room without the clutter.  Draw yourself after you’ve decluttered.

4. ACTION: DO IT. When a box is full get it out of the house. Ask a friend to keep you accountable to your plan.

5. MAINTAIN YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT. Every three months do a check to make sure clutter isn’t creeping back in.

It’s sneaky that way. If it does, begin the steps again.
