from your sister is considered income for the month you receive it and could make you ineligible for that month, depending on the amount of the inheritance. If you keep the money into the next month, it then becomes a part of your resources. You cannot have more than $2,000 in resources to remain eligible for SSI benefits. Call Social Security at (800) 772-1213 (TTY, 1800-325-0778) to report the inheritance. A representative will tell you how your eligibility and payment amount might be affected. Q: My parents recently moved into a retirement community and they are signing their house over to me. Can I still get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or will home ownership make me ineligible? A: You can own a home and still receive SSI as long as you live in the home you own. In most cases, when determining SSI eligibility we don’t count as resources the home you own and live in or the car you use.

SOCIAL SECURITY Q&A Security benefits, you can choose to file and receive benefits on just your spouse’s Social Security record and delay filing for benefits on your own record up until age 70. By filing for just benefits as a spouse, you may receive a higher retirement benefit on your own record later based on the effect of delayed retirement credits. You can earn delayed retirement credits up to age 70 as long as you do not collect your own benefits — and those credits can increase your benefit by as much as 8 percent for each year you delay. You can use our online Retirement Estimator to test out different scenarios.

It’s all about respect One of the first to arrive for a game at Lewiston’s Booth Hall, Les MacDowell goes through his pregame preparations.
Les MacDowell is always a teacher, even when he’s not By Mary Tatko
Of Target Publications
Les MacDowell has a presence that commands respect, but it’s not the former basketball player’s height or resonant voice that make that impression. It’s that he’s so darn, well, nice.
Colleagues also describe him as “polite,” “professional,” “thorough,” and “a gentleman.” “He was even tempered,” former Lewiston High School Principal Jim Wilund said, looking back on the years he worked with MacDowell. Wilund, who retired in 2005, was principal when MacDowell taught at the high school. The two also officiated high school basketball together. “I don’t think I ever saw him
angry,” Wilund said. “I think probably from nice to nasty, if you have that spectrum, he was probably the nicest guy I’ve ever known, all the time. I don’t think he has a nasty side.” Corky Fazio, a high school sports official who worked with MacDowell for many years, remembers a moment during a district basketball tournament at Lewis-Clark State College’s Warrior Gym when the fans seated at the north end, behind
the basket, had become “pretty wound up.” MacDowell, as he was administering a free throw, “stepped out and in his booming voice said, ‘Students, that behavior is unacceptable and will no longer be tolerated.’ And the gym got quiet,” Fazio said. “They stopped.” MacDowell, 71, taught school for 40 years, coached for 22 years, officiated high school basketball for 25 years, is in his 26th year as a high school track
and field official, and has been the public address announcer for Lewiston High School basketball and volleyball for 17 years. Throughout his career as a teacher, coach, sports official and P.A. announcer, his message to students has been clear: “They’re never losers as long as they’re doing their best.” That might sound a bit soft for a coach, but he absolutely means

From page 10
“When he’s a starter in track, you never have any doubt about the rules.” — Jim Wilund, former Lewiston High School principal
what he says about “doing their best,” and he holds himself to the same high standard. As a track and field official, MacDowell has fired the starting gun at countless high school track events. Veteran Lewiston Tribune sports reporter Dale Grummert calls MacDowell “a primo starter” for his encyclopedic knowledge of track and field rules and his ability to put young athletes at ease. Wilund echoes Grummert’s praise: “When he’s a starter in track, you never have any doubt about the rules.” But asked about his acclaimed expertise at officiating track meets, MacDowell talks about making a mistake. Three years ago, he said, he disqualified a relay team because he believed the members’ uniforms did not meet regulations. It was a difficult call, he said, so he checked with a rules interpreter afterward. As it turned out, MacDowell had misinterpreted the rule. He immediately contacted the athletic director at the school whose team had been disqualified, and was impressed with the gracious manner in which his apology was accepted. Above all else, MacDowell values responsibility, respect — and thoughtfulness. Looking back on years of officiating, MacDowell most cherishes times when those qualities have been reflected back to him. Carrie Nygaard, now principal at Kamiah Middle School, was Carrie Riener when she played basketball for Prairie High School. After MacDowell called a foul on her at a critical point in a game, the ball rolled to the other side of the gym. Riener jogged to the ball, brought it

No questioning the call, not even an unpleasant look on her face. That moment has stuck with MacDowell for more than 30 years. He remembers her as one of the sweetest people he’s ever met. “It’s something you don’t want to hoard,” he said after recounting Nygaard’s story. “Thoughtfulness.” nnn His father’s career in the Army meant his family moved around the country, but MacDowell graduated from high school in the Northwest, at Richland. He started college at Whitworth, in Spokane, and graduated from Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, Texas, where he played basketball. He moved to the valley, where his wife, Pat, originally was from, in 1969, and taught the last 33 years of his four-decade teaching career
“It’s something you don’t want to hoard. Thoughtfulness.” — Les MacDowell, remembering a student’s behavior on the court at Jenifer Junior High, Lewiston High School and Sacajawea Junior High, before retiring in 2002. The MacDowells have two children who both attended Lewiston schools and graduated from LCSC. Mike MacDowell works at Troy Insurance in Lewiston, and Patti MacDowellSkelton teaches school in Hawaii. They have five grandchildren. Just as his colleagues describe his affinity for communicating with students, MacDowell praises his wife, a retired public health and school nurse, for the same skills. He laughed, recalling a time when her rapport with students had amusing results. After she had developed a sex education curriculum for the Lewiston School District, the
MacDowells ran into a couple of students while grocery shopping. When the students saw them, one exclaimed, “There’s the sex lady!” “She more than enjoyed it,” MacDowell said of his wife’s work in the schools. “She loved working with young people.” It’s a love the MacDowells have long shared. “He was always there to help kids,” Wilund said. “He was always there to help us if we needed a P.A. announcer or a starter, and you could count on him to do it willingly, you didn’t have to coerce. He was very, very dependable and always willing to help.” MacDowell is modest about his public address gig. To hear him tell it, he just sort of fell into it with no particular skills
to recommend him. “The first volleyball match I sat through in my life was one I did P.A. for,” he said. Just figuring out how to use the sound system was a challenge. “I’m not an electronically astute person,” he said. “I’m from the old school. I required a lot of tutorial work.” Though he emphasizes he’s had no formal training, he can’t deny the fact he has an affinity for announcing. “It’s not something I’ve developed, it’s just what the Lord blessed me with,” he said. “I’m glad people find it pleasant.” In addition to having a commanding yet soothing voice, MacDowell possesses a thorough understanding of the rules of the game. As announcer, he can explain officials’ calls should unusual circumstances leave fans confused. Having officiated basketball for 25

years, there aren’t many situations MacDowell hasn’t already seen. “One thing that stands out with Les no matter where you were, whether it was teaching or P.A. announcing or officiating, Les was always a gentleman,” Wilund said. “Highest quality, always polite, always a gentleman. He was thorough, probably to a fault.” When MacDowell met with team captains before a game, the other officials knew the student athletes would be getting plenty of direction. “Pre-game was more than a few comments with Les,” Wilund said. “You always wanted to start that a little early. He has that kind of Texas kind of slow delivery.
Les MacDowell on how he helps student athletes do their best Tribune/Kyle Mills
Real thorough.” Some people might think teaching is all about getting the information in teachers’ brains into students’ brains. But all teachers really can do, MacDowell said, is teach kids how to learn. “I used algebra and geometry as an avenue to help kids learn,” he said. His goal when officiating was the same: “To help a kid learn to learn. To help a kid learn how to participate fairly.”
There are three keys to being a successful official, MacDowell said: “communicate clearly, remain approachable, and keep smiling.” His philosophy made on impression on Fazio, who calls his former colleague “an outstanding teacher, (who) had the ability to break it down for all of us to understand.” In 2001, MacDowell was inducted as the charter member of District II’s officiating hall

of fame. “(He is) so well respected,” Fazio said. “It was always a joy to go out on the floor with him.” MacDowell would have officiated basketball for more than 25 years if his knees had let him; in fact bad knees made even teaching difficult. He’s since had both knees replaced and is grateful for the increased mobility in his retirement, especially since his retirement doesn’t involve much sitting around. He officiates track, announces volleyball and basketball, teaches Sunday school at Tammany View Baptist church in the Orchards, and once a week he dresses for the office and goes to work. This is MacDowell’s fifth year as a Medicare agent at Troy Insurance Agency, where he works part time with his son. It’s a job that came about after Troy Insurance owner Dave Troy mentioned one day how helpful it would be to find a “Medicare senior” to work with senior Medicare clients. Mike MacDowell suggested his father, who considered the pro-
posal for about a week, before agreeing to give it a try. When he started at Troy Insurance, MacDowell was “one of the confused,” a senior on Medicare trying to sort through the program. Over the next four years, he spent as much time studying as he had in four years of college. “It was a real shift,” he said. Until then, his knowledge of the industry had extended only as far as his own life and car insurance policies. He found while it was different from anything he’d done before, helping other seniors understand deductibles and copays draws on many of the same skills he used as a teacher, coach and sports official. “I’m not a salesman,” he said. “I’m an educator.” Like calming nervous kids at the starting line during a track meet, putting seniors at ease while discussing Medicare options takes empathy. “Us senior folks, we think a little more slowly,” MacDowell said, describing the laid-back approach he takes with his clients. Though he wouldn’t have guessed he’d have a second career, let alone this one, he’s grateful for it. “I enjoy the challenge because it keeps me mentally on my toes.” Tatko may be contacted at mtatko@lmtribune or (208) 848-2244.

The Crock of Ages
Grandma and friends are anticipating, As baby shower plan is just waiting. Expectant young mother is excited, When numbers count up for all invited. Happy party time is approaching fast, Busy maternity is near at last.
Darling, I’ve a wealth of first-hand knowledge, Learned from living, not smirking about in college, While you’ve only a nice girl’s naive comprehension, Hardly any worldly experience one can mention. It’s a wonder you can even hold a job.
Opening ribbon-tied, tissue-wrapped gifts, Mother-to-be is helped with heavy lifts. Rattles adorn boxes of pink booties. Teething rings speak of growing new duties. Tiny sweaters and matching baby caps Remind each guest of the comfort of laps. Blessing of arrival will be soon. And diaper bag will be a true boon. — Lucille Magnuson, 90, Moscow
There are lots of ways to manage without working. In this modern age it’s not really considered shirking. You see, babe, we thinkers let others do things for us. That way we miss any nasty glitch that might bore us. And the profits pour in without a hitch. There are pots of honey in this land of milk and money, But, baby, you’re my honey. Nothing funny is going on. Why let rumors about me raise silly doubts about me? You know you can’t live without me. Why believe a lie? I’m your light bulb and you’re my butterfly. You gals once had in mind that life could be no better, But God so loved you He made His Adam a go-getter, Loving, gentle, always loyal — and that’s not going too far. It took man alone on his own to get us where we are. Sweetie, I hope you’ve had time to wash the car. So let’s end up agreeing, and agreeing we’ll say no more. Once you say you’re sorry, I’ll gladly move in as before. But we do need to change some; your house rules are just Plain dumb. I’m tired of living under your bloody thumb.

A Memorial Come walking with me and you will see Nearly the last remaining part Of the Felix Warren stage coach road, Wending its way through my upper Tammany farm Toward Waha Mountain and beyond. It goes right past the entrance To our mountain homestead land and retreat, Belonging to our family for generations. Frost and snow soon will come, Touching all the wildflowers, native plants, And those beautiful tall trees. No, you never conquer a mountain, quite. Foot prints and hand prints fade away — But there is a remnant of a notched log — Great grandpa Issac’s horse barn log. And over there — see that long, weathered board? Our granny set it upon some rocks So’s she could sit and rest, after picking huckleberries On summer days. And that ruined remnant of a wood cabin
Seasons of Change The seasons come and they go Sometimes we feel like the change is slow And so we wait for spring For the birds to sing And the joy that spring brings. Everything begins anew Even the sky changes with a different hue For the dark and gray Have gone away
Built for shelter, when wood cutting, by my father in the ’30s — its walls were sawed down and stolen by someone, don’t know who. And see that huckleberry patch? Right by that dim road leading up the wooded slope. Our granny and Edith, Minnie, Pearl, Maude and I Had great fun picking and picking, Then eating some and storing the rest. To go with our lunch (we each brought our own), our dear friend, Minnie, Always included a cold drink for us all — In a gallon glass jug, orange flavored, delicious — Cold, with chunks of ice. Now it is so quiet — most all of our dear ones gone. But, hark, there’s a little bit of their voices in Every wild bird call and in every whirring pine, Touched by a cool mountain breeze. And I will go back, again and again To listen for the faint, dear voices — And to remember what nice, precious times we had. — Jean Buchanan, 89, Lewiston
Now we look forward to sunny days Spring is in our hearts as we look around We start to see all things new. We look at our life And our life Is changing too. We are new at heart. We will make a brand new start. Thanks to spring. — Yvonne Carrie, Lewiston

Some seniors must keep working NORWALK, Conn. — At the ages of 69 an 64, people might think Natale and Mafalda Marini of Weston spend most of their time enjoying their retirement with their grandchildren or enjoying afternoon lunches with friends, but the Marinis both still work 40 hours a week. Although they both love their jobs working in the meat department at Stew Leonard’s, neither expected to still be working at this stage of their lives. “If I retire now I won’t have a full pension, so I have to keep working,” said Mafalda Marini, better known as Muffy. “I will retire eventually, if I can afford it.” The Marinis owned a deli for several years and when they sold the business, Natale, better known as Lino, looked for other employment. “I thought I’d have an earlier retirement, but I’m young and healthy so I might as well keep

working,” he said. Lino and Muffy consider themselves among the more fortunate seniors because they were able to find employment. “We love our jobs,” Muffy said. “We are lucky to have our jobs and to be treated so well.” Some of their friends are not so lucky. “I feel sorry for the seniors who can’t work and can’t find work because, what will they do?” Lino asked. “Nowadays with the cost of groceries and other things people have to decide what to do, whether to get their medications, pay their rents or maintain their homes.” The Connecticut Elder Economic Security Index study
Applications are being taken at this time for veterans and spouses/widows who are in need of skilled nursing care.
“A lot of these seniors are house rich and cash poor, so it’s a real struggle for them to get by on a day-to-day basis. A lot of people who didn’t have to rely on government assistance before are now asking our social workers about assistance for energy, fuel, food stamps ... all the social services, really.” — Paul Palermo, Norwalk Senior Center showed that Connecticut single elders need between $19,690 and $52,551 a year to cover basic living costs, depending on their housing and health, circumstances. The average yearly Social Security payout, however, is $12,607 — a gap of up to $40,000. Paul Palermo, the executive director of the Norwalk Senior Center, said there are many seniors he comes in contact with who are in the exact situation Lino and the study described. “The seniors we serve here are retired working people who worked their whole lives,” Palermo said. “I know it sounds corny, but they are the greatest generation. They paid their dues, lived the American dream and raised their families, but now they are facing incredible difficulties.” The difficulties stem from all aspects of the struggling economy: health care, property taxes, food prices and fuel costs.
“A lot of these seniors are house rich and cash poor, so it’s a real struggle for them to get by on a day-to-day basis,” Palermo said. “A lot of people who didn’t have to rely on government assistance before are now asking our social workers about assistance for energy, fuel, food stamps...all the social services, really.” According to the study, the largest expenses for the elderly are housing and health care. Transportation, food and miscellaneous expenses were also factored into the study’s data. For an elderly person living at home without a mortgage it takes $23,547 to live basically in Fairfield County. Palermo said the age of the seniors who utilize the center definitely speaks to their need to work longer, recreate later. “We don’t get young seniors in here,” he said. “The average age is 74 even though you can be sixty-plus to join. We were banging our heads against the

wall wondering why we have so few members in their sixties and then we realized it’s because they simply can’t afford to retire, that is if they are lucky enough to have a job.” It doesn’t seem like the situation will get better, at least in the foreseeable future. “The bottom line for me is — with this economy, the Golden Years are going to get tougher and tougher — especially with all of us baby boomers hitting those years,” said Mary Windt, executive director of The Marvin. “And with all the economic challenges there is a critical need to not only continue to provide supportive services like housing, transportation, health care, the need is only going to increase.” People who have not yet reached the category of “senior” should start planning ahead, Windt said, although for those who are close to retirement age, it is almost too late. “I’d say that is why people need to start planning and thinking ahead, well before they think they’ll need something,” Windt said. “All the affordable senior housing facilities, the good and the bad, have long waiting lists. There is a tremendous need for more housing and other supports. And long term care and health care are only going to be increasing needs.”

Social networking site Winster attracts older users By Mike Swift
Of the San Jose Mercury News
than competition, to create new friendships — some of which have blossomed into real-world friendships and even romantic relationships. A majority of Winster’s members live in small towns and depopulated stretches of rural America like the Great Plains. “They don’t have the opportunity to socialize in the real world. Some people live on farms, and they are isolated,” said Michelle Kaplan, the cofounder of Winster, who also serves as “Winnie Winster,” the face of the site. Winster, which has about 2 million monthly unique visitors and has only intermittently been profitable, hasn’t attained anything like the multibilliondollar valuations of privately held online social networks and social gaming companies like Facebook, Zynga and Twitter. But Kaplan, who founded Winster six years ago with her entrepreneur husband Jerry Kaplan — he founded the auction site Onsale in the 1990s — believes that in an aging America, a social game site based on trust rather than competition can prosper. An added bonus, Winster’s founders have discovered is that the site also

helps older adults build new connections that can be a source of support during a life crisis like the death of a spouse or a tough illness. “It’s going to be a huge market,” Michelle Kaplan said in an interview from the 11-employee company’s compact offices in a San Mateo, Calif., office park. While Winster’s older, more rural users make it tougher to tell the company’s story to potential venture investors, she said, “I think it’ll become an area of interest down the road,
and we’ll get more respect.” Baby Boomers and seniors are an increasingly significant share of social networks like Facebook. A report by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project found that social network use by peo-
ple 50 and older doubled over the past year. “This is a pattern that is pretty much close to an ironclad law of nature,” said Lee Rainie,

SAN JOSE, Calif. — When Dennis Ah Yo began fighting colon cancer two years ago, the emotional isolation of being home-bound was as tough as the physical hardships of chemotherapy. A Silicon Valley social network threw the San Jose, Calif., man an emotional “lifesaver” during that tough time, but it wasn’t Facebook or Twitter. Ah Yo’s connection to the outside world was a social gaming site called Winster, whose membership is four-fifths female and the same proportion older than 45. “I could find somebody and just talk, and while we were playing the game, not be lonely anymore,” Ah Yo said. “I found that filling up a void for me.” Until recently, online social networks have revolved around youthful relationships and emotional needs. Facebook’s meteoric climb to more than 550 million members started with college undergrads hunting for hook-ups, while one recent study found that Twitter’s users skew young and urban. But as older Americans flock to social networks, many of them to play games or reconnect with people from their past, Winster has a different take. It uses social games based on trust and collaboration, rather

director of the Pew Internet project. “If something has enough appeal and has enough value, eventually people who were highly resistant at first will become involved with it, and in many cases happily so. Adoption proceeds in waves.” Other research shows that older Internet users, particularly women, have a strong affinity for social games, with 46 percent of social gamers in the U.S. older than 50, according to research by Bellevue, Wash.based Information Solutions Group. Jerry Kaplan said Winster also has noticed a jump in users over 50 playing within the last year. The site’s ability to forge new human connections through online social games has led to a number of realworld social connections. Debbie Trosin of Waterford, Mich., got so friendly with other Winster players that this past summer, she invited them
to travel from Pennsylvania, Ohio and elsewhere in Michigan to attend a weekend “Winster Party” at her lakeside home. This coming summer, Trosin hopes to host other Winster players from as far away as Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado. Trosin, 58, became a widow five years ago and had to retire from a nursing career she loved because of injuries from a car accident caused by a drunk driver. She plays games on Winster about four hours a day, and when she has “a bad day” emotionally or physically, Trosin said her friends on Winster are “like a big family.” Brian Robinson, a 54year-old temp worker from Wilmington, Mass., was playing Winster more than two years ago when he noticed a player named Vicki from the same town and began chatting with her. It turned out that Robinson and Vicki Jordan had first met in the fourth grade but had lost touch over the intervening 40-odd years, after he joined the military and she moved to Florida and

blocks apart in Wilmington, a town of about 23,000 people northwest of Boston. They are now engaged and plan to get married on Sept. 10 at noon — 9/10/11 at 12 p.m. — two years after Robinson skillfully parlayed an online chat about Jordan’s computer problems into a first date. “Winster, they were the whole reason why Vicki and me got together,” Robinson said. He doesn’t find the social games on Facebook, many of them created by Zynga, to be nearly as compelling as
Winster’s games. “That’s all kind of stupid stuff to me, with FarmVille, I don’t want to do that stuff,” he said. Back in the winter of 2009, when Ah Yo, 57, was undergoing chemotherapy and couldn’t go out, the communication and the mutual teamwork of Winster helped sustain him emotionally. Without Winster, “it would have been really tough for me, because I felt like I was non-existent during the daytime. There is just so much TV anybody can watch,” he said.
