SOCIAL SECURITY Q&A MCCLATCHYTRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Q: My wife doesn’t have enough work under Social Security to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits or Medicare. But I am fully insured and eligible. Can she qualify on my record?

A: Yes. The question you’ve raised applies to husbands as well as wives. Even if your spouse has never worked under Social Security, she (or he) can, at full retirement age, receive a benefit equal to one-half of your full retirement amount. If your spouse will receive a pension for work not covered by Social Security such as government employment, the amount of his or her Social Security benefits on your record may be reduced. For more information, take a look at the fact sheet, Government Pension Offset, Publication No. 0510007 at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/10007.html. Your wife

is eligible for full spouses benefits at her full retirement age, or reduced spouses benefits as early as age 62, as long as you are already receiving benefits.

For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov and select the “Retirement” tab.

Q: What’s this I hear about a new “twist” in the law?

A: You may have seen our new public service campaign featuring Grammy winner and rock and roll legend Chubby Checker — best known for his enduring hit, “the Twist.”

He’s volunteering his time to help us spread the word about a new “twist” in the law that helps more people qualify for extra help with their prescription drug costs. If you have limited income and resources and have Medicare, you might be able to qualify for extra help with your prescription drug costs. Thanks to changes in the law, more people than ever before can qualify. To learn

more, visit www.socialsecurity. gov/extrahelp. While you’re at the Web site, be sure to check out Chubby Checker’s public service announcement. He’s still twisting!

Q: Does where I live affect the amount of my Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits?

A: It might. First, where you live might affect your benefit amount because some states add a supplement to the federal payment. If you live in your own place and pay your own food and shelter costs, regardless of whether you own or rent, you may get up to the maximum SSI amount payable in your state. You also can get up to the maximum if you live in someone else’s household, as long as you pay your food and shelter costs. If you live in someone else’s household and don’t pay your food and shelter costs or pay only part of them, your SSI benefit may be reduced by up to one-third of the SSI federal benefit rate. To learn more, read Supplemental Security Income (SSI) at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/11000.html.

Q: I need to apply for disability benefits. Where do I start?

A: Start online at www. socialsecurity.gov/applyfordisability. Applying online for disability benefits offers several advantages. You can start your disability claim immediately.

There is no need to wait for an appointment. You can apply from the convenience of your home or on any computer. You can use the online application to apply for benefits if you are age 18 or older, have worked and paid Social Security taxes long enough to qualify, you have a medical condition that has prevented you from working or is expected to prevent you from working for at least 12 months or to end in death, and you reside in the United States or one of its territories or commonwealths.

READER POETRY Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is a big part of our lives.

A chance to reunite with family and friends.

How good it feels when that happens, Good food and good company.

This is a time to give thanks To our God for family and friends And our lives. It’s so much like long ago When the pilgrims gave their thanks.

We have not changed much from those days.

It is good to give our thanks!

Thanks in giving And giving thanks Thanksgiving — Yvonne Carrie, Lewiston

Twilight Hours Come and see the sunset With its rays of light and blending hues.

May it serve to strengthen our horizons of hope And set our hearts aglow.

Let painted clouds of pastel pink Reveal the Master’s touch.

There is beauty in the night As evening colors bathe the sky.

May the setting sun Lighten the spirit within us.

And the twilight hours Color the pictures of our dreams.

— Rebecca Whited, 65, Lewiston

Finding her place in the circle Connie Evans’ journey took her from Kamiah to Vietnam and to a home to Lapwai

By Mary Tatko

Of Target Publications

LAPWAI — The first time Connie Evans tried to join the circle at a veterans’ pipe ceremony, she was turned away.

The second time, her fellow veterans welcomed her into the circle.

She figures there was some talk among the group during the time in between.

“I was a member of the VFW, and they knew what I’d gone through,” Evans, a retired Army captain and full-blooded Nez Perce, said.

She had served as a combat nurse in Vietnam, thus her membership in Lapwai’s Veterans of Foreign Wars post, for which she served four years as quartermaster. But the pipe ceremony traditionally had been for men, since it was meant for Nez Perce warriors and only men were considered warriors.

Elder Horace Axtell presided over the ceremony Evans was asked to join, effectively modifying the tradition.

The moment, one Evans would never have forgotten anyway, was described in a 1994 New Yorker magazine article about the Bear Paw battleground, where the ceremony took place.

“Axtell, a veteran of the Second World War, was proud to place her by his side,” New Yorker contributor Mark Stevens wrote.

Evans, 68, began her military career in 1964, when she was a nursing student.

She had begun her nursing education in California, moving there from her hometown of Kamiah as part of the Urban Indian Relocation program initiated by the Eisenhower administration.

Moving from her home and family was difficult. Though she

“I just wanted to come home.”

— Connie Evans, on moving to California to attend school as part of the Urban Indian Relocation program wanted to be an RN, the one-year program to become an LPN was as much as she finished there.

“I just wanted to come home,” she said.

She returned to the area, working in Grangeville, but decided pursuing her registered nurse degree was too important a goal to abandon, so she began a program at St. Alphonse’s in Boise.

With the Vietnam War heating up, the Army was recruiting, and the promise of a private’s wages for the last year of school and commission as a second lieutenant upon graduation convinced Evans to sign up.

Upon graduation in 1965, she was assigned to Brooke Army Medical Center at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, where she studied pediatric nursing. After completing training for her pediatric nurse specialty, she volunteered for Vietnam.

She arrived there as part of the 25th Infantry Division, based in Hawaii, and helped establish the 12th Evacuation Hospital on a base of about 17,000, near Cu Chi, 35 miles northeast of Saigon. (In a chilling revelation, the U.S. would later learn the Viet Cong had constructed the now infamous Cu Chi tunnels, a sort of underground community that included hospitals of its own, directly beneath the base.)

The nurses helped build the hospital from the ground up, she said, constructing a

nurses’ station and storage cabinets from wood.

The first half of the year Evans was there, patients were kept on metal cots until actual hospital beds finally arrived.

The main buildings on the base were Quonset huts; the medical personnel lived in simple structures called “hooches,” which the nurses divided into small, private areas using bamboo screens. The hooch where the nurses slept eventually was cordoned off with an 8-foot-tall fence to try to keep soldiers away from the women.

Dirt paths that connected the buildings became dust clouds in the dry season and muck when it rained.

“When the monsoons would come, we would just be in mud,” Evans recalled.

The sounds of combat were nearly constant.

“You got to know what incoming and outgoing were,” Evans said.

When incoming fire became too intense, sirens would announce it was time head for the base’s sandbagringed bunkers. This happened “fairly frequently,” Evans said, describing how the nurses would try to put patients under beds or at least cover them with whatever was handy.

There were no casualties among medical personnel while she was there, but a patient was killed when the mess hall was hit, Evans recalled.

A “huge cannon-type thing” across the street from the hospital which was fired intermittently made such a loud and jarring sound the surgeons complained, so it was moved elsewhere on base.

Though her medical team sometimes treated wounded Vietnamese families, including children, Evans’ job was to treat soldiers, ultimately thousands of them. Her training in pedi-

Evans worked in the recovery room, where wounded soldiers were taken after surgery or other initial treatment. Once stabilized, the patients were sent to other wards of the hospital or medevaced off the base. What made her job particularly hard, Evans said, was always seeing them at that same point in the process, never knowing whether or how well they were able to recover.

“It was horrendous,” she said. “I never saw anybody walk out.”

In 1967, four days before she was set to come home, Evans was diagnosed with hepatitis. Instead of leaving with her friends, she was flown to Saigon, then told she would be taken to a

hospital in Japan.

“No, I’m not going to Japan,” Evans recalled saying. “I am going home.”

When they got there, much to her delight, the orders had been changed and she was transported to Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, where she stayed for one month before being medically released in January, 1968.

A year later, in December, 1969, her son was born at an Army hospital in Texas.

At the time, a woman was not permitted to serve in the military if she had a dependent under the age of 18, Evans said, so she was discharged from the Army.

When that rule was changed about a year later, she joined the Reserves and attended the University of Washington on the GI bill,

earning her pediatric nurse practitioner certification.

She worked for the Seattle Indian Health Board and Urban Indian Health Institute, then returned to Lapwai in 1977 where she worked for one year in maternal health. She then transferred her Army Reserve status to the U.S. Public Health Service Corps, through which she worked as a nurse practitioner in Lapwai until retiring at 49, with 20 years combined service in the Army, Reserves and service corps.

After retiring, Evans assisted Axtell with teaching the Nez Perce language at Lewis-Clark State College, lending her expertise in the written word, while he taught students how to speak it.

She and her husband,

“It was horrendous. I never saw anybody walk out.”

— Connie Evans, on her duty in the recovery ward at the hospital in Cu Chi

Steve, a retired LCSC professor who developed and taught Nez Perce history there, also operated a tepeekit business for several years.

Their home near Lapwai is decorated with paintings, drawings and photographs depicting Native American themes by a wide variety of artists, including a wall dedicated to Chief Joseph.

Baskets, many from her grandmother and great-

grandmother, adorn a ledge above the living room.

Evans doesn’t display mementos of her time in Vietnam. Relics of that chapter in her life have been boxed and stored. Every three years, though, she joins veterans of the 12th Evac Hospital at a reunion where they share memories of the Army and Cu Chi.

Grandpa’s Solution

Also, he needs a plan for pills, As well as one for the doc, But those that cover all his ills Come with a sticker shock.

Grandpa, pushing sixty-five, Forgoes his weekend nap, Not so he can putt and drive, But to study medigap.

He has his card from Medicare, In red and white and blue, Plus a little pamphlet where it tells him what to do.

To figure out which plan to get, To find one he can love, He logs on to the Internet At medicare dot gov.

He reads about the plans and parts And enters his list of pills, While in his mind golfing carts Swarm the tee five hills.

He needs to choose a supplement For Medicare parts A and B, To cover what the government Won’t pay for you or me.

The scores of plans from which

to choose Only increase the chances That the battle is his to lose With the sofa’s come-hither glances.

He suspects the massive lists Of drugs and no-nos called formularies Are not the work of friendly

pharmacists, But evil bean-counting actuaries.

If Grandma studied this herself, He knows she’d pick a winner, So he shoves it on the shelf, And wisely takes her out to dinner.

Longtime columnist Ed Hayes dies at 86

By Susan Jacobson

Of The Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Sentinel columnist Ed Hayes, who celebrated the simple value of remembering a gentler time and valuing its lessons, died Oct. 19.

Hayes, 86, who wrote the Heydays column for The Orlando Sentinel for nearly a quarter-century, had a stroke nearly two weeks ago, said his wife of 28 years, Betty Ann Weber.

In spite of his illness, Hayes insisted upon finishing his last column in the hospital. He had

an old-fashioned work ethic and prided himself on not taking time off, his wife said.

“No matter what, he would sit at his computer and write that column,” Weber said.

Hayes retired in 1987 when he was 62 years old, but he never stopped working. In January of that year, he replaced Hushpuppies columnist Bob August. Over his lifetime, Hayes wrote 1,243 columns, his wife said.

“I’m finding more and more that weekends and nights aren’t enough to do the kind of writing I like most,” Hayes told the Orlando Sentinel in an article about his retirement. “Those are my happiest moments, when I’m at the typewriter.”

Heydays was distributed nationwide by the McClatchyTribune News Service, and Hayes received fan letters from people all over the country, many of them wanting him to tell their stories, too. He answered every one, Weber said. His audience tended to be of a certain age that could relate to Hayes’ stories of his childhood during the Great Depression, long before computers — let alone Twitter and Facebook.

Ed Hayes, a columnist with the Orlando Sentinel, has died. He was 86.

“He used a computer, but he was not into a lot of the other things that are happening,” Weber said. “He liked to stay with what he knew. He wove today into yesterday’s story.”

On the recommendation of a friend, Hayes arrived in Orlando in 1967 to become sports editor at the Orlando Evening Star, which merged with the Orlando Morning Sentinel in 1973. Back then, Hayes did it all, penning a

daily column, covering sporting events, editing, writing headlines and proofreading pages.

He later became a columnist, a features writer and a book editor. At one point, he wrote a column seven days a week.

“If an edition of the paper came out minus a column or story by me, I felt I hadn’t carried my paycheck weight that day,” Hayes wrote in a farewell published Jan. 1, 1987.

Edward Hayes was born in St. Louis and served in Papua, New Guinea, during World War II. He got into writing early by playing a kind of Cyrano de Bergerac for his fellow soldiers, expressing their thoughts in love letters to their sweethearts, Weber said.

Hayes initially aspired to be an actor. But while working at a beer factory in St. Louis after the war, he answered an ad for a sports editor in Blytheville, Ark. It was there that he became known as “Ed” when his editor slapped the name on his first column. His family, however, always called him Edward.

As was his forte, Hayes connected with people in his new home and stayed for 12 years before leaving for Orlando.

“He had a genuine love for people, and they loved him right back,” said Weber, a writer and performing artist he met when

Well, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see, how about, well, how about whistling?

For most folks, whistling came as easily as shooting marbles. Not for my mom or spouse. The both of them, blessed with arousing singing voices, never learned to whistle.

Come think of it, their marble shooting wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so fancy, either.

Although he never graduated from high school, Hayes was presented last year with an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., his wife said.

He also wrote several books, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;3-Minute Heydays: Inspiring Thoughts and Witty Observations on Life,â&#x20AC;? in 2004 and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Florida One-Day Trip Book,â&#x20AC;? in 1990, with his wife.

Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last column sings the praises of Velcro and reminisces about how he learned to blow his nose as a boy and whistle.

He mentions how his left leg buckled underneath him a few

Hayes also is survived by two stepdaughters, Merrill Weber of Pottstown, Pa. and Eden Weber of San Francisco, and two stepgrandchildren.

Former Sentinel book editor Nancy Pate, who succeeded Hayes in that role, remembered Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expansive knowledge of the community and the way he reveled in speaking to groups, including seniors and Friends of the Orange County Library System. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ed was a great supporter of

But I did try for a long time to learn how the tighter-lipped newsboy whistle, the hardliner, was louder and shriller. Good thing. A few days ago, while bathing, I lost the support of my left leg and went crashing with my head and back into my stall shower. What was the answer?

Whistle for my wife.

One day, lo and behold, I learned to blow my nose.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t snort. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy.

My mom worked diligently with me, and for some reason I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the hang of it.

How old was I? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably feel too mortified to admit if I did know.

Obviously all children arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delivered into this world with the same abilities and attributes.

Some, for example, burst forth as full-chested crybabies.

Others, like the popular speaker of this house, practically entered on the purr of wings.

Or so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told. Oh, sure I shed my share of snuffles and tears, but tried to be circumspect about those big mawkish moments.

Ah, folks, it was beautiful.

Well, maybe not all that picturesque, but whoever believed that the successful, bona fide blowing of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose could match the bell-ringing chill of graduating from kindergarten?

Plausibly, you had your own similar childhood dilemma. Eh? COMMENTARY Or, conceivably, pray tell, learning how to tie shoestrings was your bugaboo.

Young people have it so much more uncomplicated nowadays. At least, from what I At last, one day, Mom seated observe, there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that many by me in the kitchen, apathetishoestring-strung shoes on feet cally covering my nose with a or in retail windows. Seems like handkerchief, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blow.â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly stringless flip-flops My problem, vaguely remem- that go clippitty-clop in the bered, was the fear of blowing night, and all day. too hard and maybe blowing out Of course those sticky Velcro my brains. Or was it adenoids? strips are also available, but my â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blow,â&#x20AC;? Mom said. And I, wife tells me theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used priatypically, blew, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ka-PLOOIE!â&#x20AC;? marily by wizened individuals

READER POETRY Windy Bay 1952-2010 Only a simple cabin near the faithful spring Holds memories of warm summer days of learning.

Lessons of how to do without electricity, And that indoor plumbing was not a necessity!

Radio time was limited as batteries died.

Most activities were suitably managed outside.

Shady woodland paths beckoned in all directions, Most of them led to Dad giving fencing instructions.

Daughter Dee was expecting her eighth birthday there; Her favorite cake was perfuming the lakeside air.

Baking in the wood stove oven an adventure bold!

Hooray — cake was done before the fire went cold.

What do I do if I disagree with the decision?

A: You can appeal the decision at www.socialsecurity.gov/ onlineservices. This website is the starting point to request a review of our medical decision about your eligibility for disability benefits. There are two parts to this Internet Appeal process: Part 1: An Appeal Request Internet form; and Part 2: An Appeal Disability Report that gives us more information about your condition.

You can complete both forms online. To appeal online, the only form you must submit is an appeal request (Part 1).

However, we encourage you to submit an Appeal Disability Report (Part 2) because it will give us more information about you and help us in processing your appeal. We estimate it will take an average of 19 minutes to complete Part 1, and an average of 30 minutes to complete Part 2. To get started, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/onlineservices.

Q: I understand you must have limited resources to be eligible for Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs. What does this mean?

A: To qualify for Extra Help in 2010, your resources are limited to $12,510 for an individual or $25,010 for a married couple living together. Resources include the value of the things you own. Some examples are real estate (other than your primary residence); bank accounts, including checking, savings, and certificates of deposit; stocks; bonds, including U.S. Savings Bonds; mutual funds; Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs); and cash at home or anywhere else. To learn more about Extra Help, and to apply online, visit www.socialsecurity. gov/prescriptionhelp.  This column was prepared by the Social Security Administration.
