in 2001 and could afford to make a trip to Lewiston once every couple of years. Then Dad died in 2013, and so I made it a point to visit Mom at least once a year and always tried to schedule the trip in May to enjoy the beautiful spring weather in Lewiston and spend Mother’s Day with Mom. Some years it worked out. Many years, because of work commitments, it didn’t.

In 2017, I suddenly became a widow myself, losing my husband of 16 years to a car accident.

I liquidated our California home and our life together and started fresh in Lewiston. When I formed the idea to retire early and relocate, it was to be close to Mom as she ages and needs more help. In my mind, it was all about me being there to help her. I never considered what a help she would be to me. She and I helped the movers bring furniture into my house. I help her rake leaves in fall, and then she comes to my house and helps to rake

mine. She lived with me for 2½ weeks and cooked and washed and fetched while I was recovering from knee replacement surgery last year. We share leftovers and grab items for each other when we’re at the grocery store.

She swings by for coffee when she’s in the neighborhood. We’ve started a new pastime of taking Sunday drives to explore areas I’ve never visited but heard stories of my whole life.

Mom will be 90 in July and, because of COVID-19, our family reunion/birthday plans have been put on hold.

I moved to Lewiston in March 2018 and have now spent the last three Mother’s Days with my mom.

Mom and I don’t know how many more Mother’s Days or birthdays or anythings we’ll get to celebrate together. So that is why, even with a world pandemic, self-isolation and just the two of us on my sunny back patio, this was the best Mother’s Day ever!

— Irene Everett, 62, of Lewiston GOLDEN TIMES

Shoulder Pain A common cause of shoulder pain with overhead motion is shoulder impingement syndrome. Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when tendons of the shoulder get Katie Brown pinched under the acromion during repetitive overhead motion.

Rotator cuff weakness is a common cause of impingement syndrome. The rotator cuff refers to four muscles of the shoulder that help to support the shoulder joint during rest and movement. These muscles include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. Each of these muscles attach to the shoulder blade and humerus to keep the arm in the shoulder socket. When the rotator cuff is weak or injured the mechanics of the shoulder are altered, leading to impingement tendencies with overhead motion.

Physical therapy can be very beneficial if you suffer from impingement syndrome. A physical therapist can assess weakness in your rotator cuff and design a personalized program to decrease pain and return you to your previous level of function.

other’s Day was a few weeks ago.

I heard many stories about disappointment and sadness as moms everywhere had to improvise celebrations this year. I wished all my friends who are moms a Happy Mother’s Day via text. They texted back and told me of cards and notes, drive-by parades and Facetime calls with kids and grandkids.

I’m not a mom. But, I’m a daughter to a great mom. I invited her over to my house, where I set up breakfast on the back patio. I clipped flowers from my garden. I served French toast and mimosas. We ate and sat on the back patio and enjoyed the gentle breeze that made the wind chimes gently ring. And it was the best Mother’s Day ever.

Up until a couple of years ago, my mother and I had not lived in the same state for 40 years. My dad was in the military, so I grew up in California.

Growing up meant leaving home, getting married and moving to Boston so my new husband could go to college in 1978. Mom and Dad retired from the Air Force in 1979 and returned home to Idaho, moving to Moscow.

A couple of years later, my husband and I moved back to California. Young couples, just out of college don’t have much money, so visits to Moscow didn’t happen too often.

Mom and Dad relocated to Lewiston in 1991. By this time, I was single, working hard and trying to visit mom and dad whenever I could. I remarried

June Giard, 99

Laurie Herndon, 90

Dick Remacle, 85

June Giard, of Clarkston, was born in 1921 on a farm in Spencer, Iowa.

Her family moved to Oregon, where she completed high school.

While at the University of Oregon, she met her husbandto-be, James Giard.

They retired to Clarkston in 1976 to enjoy gardening and fishing with brother Bob Hjelm and his wife, Yvonne, and kids in Lewiston. Their son, Jeremy, and his wife, Gail, had settled in Lewiston and later, Clarkston, where they raised their four children. Daughter Julia and husband, Jim Knauss, moved to Clarkston after retirement to be closer to June. Her family of four children has grown to 10 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. James died in 1995.

June was active in the Professional Employer Organization, book club and her church, where she enjoyed the quilters’ group and Bible study.

She’s known for her quippy poetry and thankful heart, was a talented seamstress, enjoyed painting and was very independent, driving until she was 97. She was always on the go.

She lives at Tender Care Homes in Clarkston with a handful of lively companions and great caregivers. She loves phone calls, and we look forward to when we can celebrate with her in person.

Laura “Laurie” Lee Herndon was born in 1930 at the old Whites Hospital in Lewiston, the first of two daughters born to Frank and Gladys Hopkins.

Laurie graduated from Culdesac High School and earned her business education degree at the University of Idaho.

She was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority.

She and Jack Herndon became engaged on Valentine’s Day, and married June 14, 1953. They enjoyed spending time at their Wallowa Lake getaway, traveling in their motorhome, and fishing together, during 57 years of marriage. They owned and operated Campus Corner/24 Flavors near Lewis-Clark State College for 18 years. She became well known for her delicious homemade soups and pies.

Laurie enjoyed cooking for family and grew a variety of roses. She is a longtime member of First United Methodist Church and a past member of Mother’s Club and a Campfire leader.

She lives at Royal Plaza Retirement Center in Lewiston, where she enjoys going on bus trips. She loves spending time with her family, especially going out to eat, and her annual summer trip to Wallowa Lake.

Laurie will celebrate her 90th birthday with a family dinner, which includes her two daughters, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Richard L. Remacle, of Cottonwood, was born in 1935 to Lea and Hermina Remacle, the eldest of seven children.

Dick graduated from Cottonwood High School and worked as a log sawyer for many companies.

He married Mary C. “Katie” (Pauly) Remacle on Sept. 16, 1961. Family includes five children and their families: sons Glenn and Bill, of Cottonwood, and Marvin, of Ferdinand; and daughters Teresa, of Post Falls, and Pam, of Lewiston. They have 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Dick and Katie are members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Cottonwood and have been married almost 59 years.

Neighbor-to-Neighbor | Heart to heart PERSONAL SHOPPER PROGRAM KEEPS THE VULNERABLE SAFE AT HOME

By JULIE BRESLIN

GOLDEN TIMES

iving up her driver’s license was the right thing to do, but Susanne Hogaboam couldn’t have guessed how much it would cramp her lifestyle.

“Golly, I’ve lost such a big freedom that I always took for granted,” she remembers realizing. “I still miss being able to just go to do certain things, and it is embarrassing to have to call people.”

“Even this morning ... I thought, ‘Boy, I’m getting down low on (makeup),’ ” she said. “I used to be able to jump in my car and go to the store and get this.”

Now — for items big and small — she can turn to her personal shopper, Matthew Graham.

The two recently were paired through the newly hatched Neighbor-toNeighbor Grocery Shopping Program of Interlink Inc. The nonprofit organization is based in Clarkston and serves seniors who are 60 and older and anyone with disabilities who can’t drive themselves.

“Neighbor-to-Neighbor is our COVID-19 response to grocery delivery service,” said Interlink Transportation Coordinator Alisha Walker. “We assign one volunteer (to each homebound client) as a personal shopper.”

“This young man, Matt, who’s been helping me, we sort of clicked it off right away, and I’ve really enjoyed it,” Hogaboam said.

“It’s been almost like having a grandson around.”

Susanne Hogaboam stands with Matthew Graham for a portrait in front of Hogaboam’s Lewiston home last month as Graham drops off the groceries he got for her at Rosauers Supermarket.

He is delighted to stand in for her family — two daughters and seven grandchildren who live in other states.

“She’s always so happy to see me,” Graham said.

“I just love chitchatting with her (on her Lewiston porch, from 6 feet apart).

She actually brightens my day. She’s so sweet.”

he past year was one of major changes for Graham.

“There’s no time like

the present” has become his motto, he said. “Since I’ve turned 30, I’m much more about, ‘Just pull the trigger.’ ” After 5 years as an executive assistant at Trident Seafoods on the Washington coast, he left his job last June to join his partner, Michael Jones, in Lewiston. He then trained with Century 21 to be a real estate agent, a job he’d been thinking about for some time.

“I like how dry it is,” Graham said. “Coming from Seattle, I enjoy the GOLDEN TIMES

small town. I enjoy the slower pace of Lewiston — and it’s nice it doesn’t take me 45 minutes to go 4 miles.” Here, he can walk home for lunch each day.

With time on his hands, he began looking for opportunities to invest in his new community. His broker, Wendy Price, suggested he sign up as a volunteer with Interlink.

“The nice thing about being a Realtor is my schedule is very flexible,” he said, For about two months — since Neighbor-to-Neigh-

bor launched as a means to keep the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley’s most vulnerable citizens safe at home during the pandemic — Graham has been doing Hogaboam’s weekly shopping for food and medicine.

“It’s very rewarding for me to be able to do that for her,” he said. “My parents took care of me, my grandparents took care of me, and now it’s my time to give back.”

He’d like to do even more — if only he could convince Hogaboam to take him up on his offers.

One lady took her shopping, but “I didn’t always want to rely on just that other lady to take me everywhere,” Hogaboam said.

When she learned of Interlink two years ago, she signed up and called for volunteers to fill in the gaps when she needed to go the medical and various other appointments.

Then her shopping lady, “who is also older” fell, and coronavirus restrictions struck.

“Usually I’m a stayat-home sort of person anyway, but I think it’s the idea that I have to stay home that it bothers me so much,” Hogaboam said.

Interlink’s new shopping

program arrived at just the right time.

“It has been a wonderful thing,” she said.

inding and juggling helpers is a common problem for the homebound.

The strength of Interlink’s free services, according to Walker, is its large pool of volunteers who have passed a background check and are trained.

“We’re sharing day-today tasks,” she said. “You can ask us every time, and we’ll have someone for you every time. It may not be the same person every time, but we’ll have someone, and they will be trustworthy.”

olunteers eager to lend a hand and clients reluctant to accept — it’s a common theme the staff hears at Interlink.

“People have trouble asking for help,” Walker said. “Being a burden is something people are really afraid of.”

Hogaboam, who will turn 77 next month, can relate. It’s a terrible thing to live an active life of service to others, then suddenly be unable to help yourself.

At age 16, she became a Benedictine sister at St. Gertrude’s Monastery in Cottonwood. For more than 10 years, she traveled throughout Idaho, teaching first- and second-grade students — large classes of “50 or 52 students.” She left the convent in her 30s “because of all the changes in the Catholic church.”

In 1975, she took a job in Lewiston, washing dishes at the St. Joseph hospital, where she met Jim Hogaboam. They later married and raised their daughters in the valley.

Susanne Hogaboam had been troubled with occasional seizures, mostly petty maul, since an operation she underwent at age 24. One afternoon a few years ago, she suffered a seizure as she drove home from a hair appointment and had a bad accident.

She knew it was time to stop driving.

For a time, she was able to walk from her apartment complex to do some shopping. But her unpre-

shopper program “is going to outlive the pandemic.” “(Clients) can’t drive, so they’re kind of quarantined already,” she said. “Most of us just don’t think about it because we’re moving around ourselves, you know?”

“A lot of them don’t have family. There are other people that, their family just might not be able to help them,” she said. For folks in that situation, “We’re encouraging people to try this (service) instead for the pandemic.”

Walker also emphasized that volunteers truly want to help, so those in need of services shouldn’t hesitate to seek help.

“It goes both ways — it’s a mutual blessing, I like to say,” she said. “The volunteer is here to serve, and if you don’t ask for help, then there’s nothing for them to do.”

inancial predators are alive, well and on the prowl, hoping to separate you from your money.

Catfishing predators may claim to be looking for romance. Here are a few tips on how to avoid becoming their next victim. Feel free to clip this and tape it near your phone and/or computer.

> RED FLAGS INCLUDE CALLS, EMAILS OR LETTERS THAT:  are unsolicited (you didn’t initiate contact)  are threatening in tone, promising scary or embarrassing consequences for noncompliance or  are euphoric in tone (great news, you won the lottery — we need your bank account number to deposit your winnings)  request personal information  request money — usually in the form of a prepaid debit or credit card  carry an aggressive sense of urgency

> IF YOU SUSPECT YOU’RE BEING TARGETED BY A SCAMMER: DON’T  share any personal information  send money DO  hang up the phone  delete the email or  shred the letter  Check legitimacy of claims if desired, but not using a number supplied by the caller. Instead, look the company up in the phone book or online.  Report the scam (more information follows).

> THINK YOU’VE BEEN TAKEN? It’s a good idea to pay attention to details on bills and other financial transactions; discrepancies can be a red flag for identity theft. But many fraudulent schemes currently circulating are sophisticated and able to trick even the most savvy. Anyone who believes they’ve been contacted by a scam artist and/or fallen victim to a fraudulent scheme may …  Report it to local police at (208) 7460171 in Lewiston, (509) 758-2331 in Clarkston, (208) 883-7054 in Moscow or (509) 334-0802 in Pullman. Police can alert the community to new scams and help victims

M O N D A Y, J U N E 1 , 2 0 2 0

take steps to minimize damage and protect themselves.  Report it to their bank or credit institution if money was taken or information was shared.  Report it to the business or organization involved.  Report it to the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org/scamtracker/us.  Report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint or by calling (877) FTC-HELP.  Find a list of current known scams and more information on avoiding scams, at www.consumer.ftc.gov/features/scam-alert.  Find information on scams circulating locally on the Lewiston Police Department’s Facebook page, where citizens also may sign up for news alerts.  Ask door-to-door solicitors to show their licenses, and call the police if they don’t.

> 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.

“I wanted to interview medical doctors who think outside the box and can provide useful information for people to help themselves,” she said.

A longtime advocate of natural foods and products, Drescher is especially concerned about environmental toxins. “If we can eliminate them and begin building up the body, it will be in fighting shape to ward off attacks from pathogens such as the coronavirus.”

Isolated at home for weeks like much of the country, Drescher says she’s been catching up on TV shows, writing and cleaning. As Nanny Fine, Drescher’s famous TV character might not have scolded Niles the Butler for using corrosive cleaning products such as Clorox to sanitize the Sheffield’s home in which the ’90s series was set, but today she probably would.

“I use 65 percent alcohol in a spray bottle with a little water and some peppermint oil which smells nice and has some antimicrobial properties,” she said.

And despite the forced home confinement, Drescher has taken the situation largely in stride.

“I know it’s hard for a lot of people,” she says.

“I’m fortunate to live on the beach, so can take walks with my dog and get plenty of sunshine without seeing anyone. But I happen to like staying at home, so I don’t get cabin fever easily.”
