Who am I? The next Golden Times will publish June 2

I was born May 5, 1915, in New York and died May 9, 1998, at age 83, in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

At the peak of my career I was considered the female equivalent to Bing Crosby. I am best known for my role in the 1938 film, “In Old Chicago.�

I had a short-lived marriage with Tony Martin before marrying Phil Harris in 1941. We had two daughters together and were married until his death in 1995.

READER POETRY Waiting For Dad When I was a wee little lad sometimes I did things that were bad.

And on those days … gee my mom promised me that evening I’d have to face dad.

Those bad deeds I could not defend, or blame it on all of my friends.

So I was real glad that I found a pad to strap to my little rear end.

Ken Taylor, 77, Clarkston

Poems of Endearment Many poems of endearment have been written about the children that we love.

I, for one, have been blessed to write about the babes we hold, a gift from above.

A mother’s greatest pleasure is to hold their little ones in their arms, and oh what a joy to sing sweet lullabies ~ Praying always the Good Shepherd protect them from harm.

We all are like children in our heavenly Father’s eyes, when young we learn many things and as we grow up we realize ~

Cycling the Lewis-Clark Trail with a target in mind Dave Hudson is looking to raise money for the Clarkston School District’s archery program

The bike is sitting there because Hudson is crazy Dave Hudson looks like an average 70-year-old guy about the archery program and about the kids in it.

sion and practice self-control.

The program also teaches hard work, responsibility and the reality of consequences. Rules about safety are clearly stated and the slightest infraction is addressed swiftly and absolutely.

“If you break the rules, you’re done. There’s no begging and pleading, you can’t call home and have mom and dad bail you out. It’s very humbling for the kids,” Holly Ledgerwood said. Ledgerwood is the PE teacher, assistant principal and staff member who oversees the archery program at Grantham.

Besides these valuable life lessons, archery opens up new opportunities. According to Hudson, there are kids in the program who have never traveled out of the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley or stayed at a friend’s house. That means going to a state competition four hours away in Ellensburg, Wash., is a big deal.

“For some of these kids, this is a huge trip,” Hudson said. “One boy who went, that’s all he’s talked about since.”

The program is open to all students, and a wide range of personalities and backgrounds participate, but Hudson said he sees it make the biggest impact on the students who are sometimes forgotten and left out. For them, archery is an opportunity to belong and to get good at a skill.

“It’s something that lets them have fun,” he said.

The focus has always been on having fun and trying — not on being the best. Even when it comes to going to the state competition, Hudson selects students based not on scores, but on the effort they put into their skill.

“It’s never been about winning,” Hudson said. “It’s about did they participate? Did they have fun? And did they try their hardest?”

There was no such thing as Archery Club at Grantham five years ago. Now, every school in the Clarkston School District is part of the National Archery in the Schools Program. Through this federal program, every student — from elementary through high school — picks up a bow and arrow for a couple weeks each semester in PE and has the opportunity to participate in an afterschool competitive archery club. This past March, every school in the dis-

ago, I wouldn’t be here today,” Hudson said.

Hudson decided to use the very thing that saved his life to help the archery program of which he is so proud.

Two years ago, Hudson and Lee rode from Astoria, Ore., to the valley and collected $700 for the archery program. This time, Hudson is hoping to collect a lot more.

The Archery Club is a federal program, but to operate it, Grantham relies primarily on district funds, grant money from hunting organizations — for example, the Elk Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation and Turkey Foundation — and donations by local businesses and individuals. These funds pay for equipment and travel costs.

But right now, the $200 targets sitting in the school’s gym are so shot up arrows bounce out of them. Students have to take turns with the $100 bows, which can get confusing because they are all uniquely adjusted according to the strength of the shooter. And as novice shooters, they go through their fair share of arrows at around $50 a dozen.

Hudson hopes to bring in enough money through his ride to cover these basic program needs, but his dreams go even higher; he wants to see local students get to compete nationally in Knoxville, Tenn. Even thought they are Tribune/Steve Hanks some of the top shooters in the state, Dave Hudson, 70, of Clarkston, has been giving his time during the school year to the none of the Clarkston students were able to attend the national competition Clarkston School District archery program as a coach at Grantham Elementary School for the cost of sending students the past few years.

And since he’ll be blogging about his trip, he also has a solar panel that will keep everything charged up.

“It’s a big step,” Hudson said.

This is his longest trip by about four times and his first solo trip. Besides the physical challenge, Hudson knows there’ll be a mental challenge of being by himself that entire time, along with the technological challenge of managing his new electronic gadgets.

But none of that is enough to scare him away.

“Anything that’s an adventure — I’m in,” Hudson said.

To train for the trip, Hudson goes to the gym in the morning for a weight and cardio workout, and

Youngest boomers turn 50 this year Some are asking if they really belong to the baby boomer generation

By Kim Hone-McMahan Akron Beacon Journal

AKRON, Ohio — The youngest baby boomer turns 50 this year. The big 5-0.

A quinquagenarian. Half a century. Holy colonoscopy!

While today’s kids may think 50-yearolds roamed the earth with dinosaurs, others think they are mere youngsters.

“I see them more as my children,” said

Rose Rose of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, who turns 68 this year, making her among the oldest boomers. “To lump all baby boomers together is really sort of stretching it.

There’s a big difference in baby boomers.”

Those born between 1946 and 1964 are considered the baby-boom generation — even though there’s nearly a two-decade span between the youngest and oldest. This leads to folks assuming boomers have had, or are having, the same life experiences.

But social commentator and

author Jonathan Pontell said that’s ludicrous, and there’s a lost generation between baby boomers and Gen-Xers.

Several years ago, Pontell coined the term “Generation Jones,” which describes those born between 1954 and 1965. In the ’70s, that age group popularized the slang term “jonesin’” or “jonesing” — craving or yearning. Jonesing, he added, has turned out to be a core personality trait of this new generation because of expectations that have been unfulfilled.

If you’ve never heard of Generation Jones, you likely will soon. Research groups, the media and educators are starting to use the definition. Next year, Random House is publishing Pontell’s book of the same name.

Boomers, as defined by the U.S. Census, were the swell of infants born

following World War II. By the end of 1964, 76.4 million baby boomers had been born in the United States.

“The whole premise of basing a generation on the fertility rates of that generation’s parents is absurd,” Pontell, 55, said recently during a phone interview. “There’s no generation before or since the so-called baby-boom generation that was ever based on birth rates.

Generations stem from formative experiences, not head counts.”

Pontell decided to call the lost generation “Jones” because it represents a large, anonymous group of people.

“It could be Smith,” said the Cleveland native, now living in California.

Making use of hospice when it’s time

As a primary care physician, it is my honor to work with people in all phases of their lives.

One of the most challenging aspects of medical care is providing support for patients who have reached the end of their lives.

Although the end of life can be unexpected, sometimes it comes with some advance notice, in the form of a terminal diagnosis. This is a sad time for patients and their families; it is also a critically important time for everyone involved in the patient’s life. The support of family and friends is always helpful, but a dedicated team experienced in palliative and hospice care can make the burdens easier for everyone to bear.

Hunter, 93, and rifle, 140, bag a doe

By Dennis Anderson

Minneapolis Star Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — On the Wednesday of the first week of Minnesota deer hunting, Kenneth Felt, 93, went looking for a buck. Living not far from Itasca State Park, in northern Minnesota, on the same land he’s occupied for decades, he knew a few animals were in the area. So he grabbed his rifle and a handful of cartridges, and got on his four-wheeler.

He didn’t consider his age a problem. And while his long gun hadn’t been leveled in the direction of a game animal for more than 100 years, and then in his grandfather’s hands in Sweden, he had practiced with the firearm enough to know it was accurate.

“I took the rifle hunting a few times last year, but I wasn’t too serious about getting a deer because I was worried about field-dressing it,”

Free Packing and Moving!

he said. “My heart is bad and it would be kind of difficult to do that.”

Felt’s gun was a .50 caliber Husqvarna with a Remington rolling block action, the same type of rifle George Custer carried into the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

The rifle is a smokepole — that is, black powder — but its cartridges are self-contained, not unlike modern-day ammunition, except when the trigger of the Husqvarna is pulled, a large plume of white smoke appears at its muzzle, obscuring vision for long moments.

“I put the Husqvarna in a case and strapped it on the four-wheeler,” Felt said. “I drove out to a field and I was surprised to see a big doe standing right there. I thought, ‘Oh, no, I don’t want a doe. I’ll just drive farther on and look for a buck.’ ” In World War II, Felt served

in the Navy, ship-bound variously in Ireland, then the Mediterranean and finally in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945, when Japan formally surrendered.

Returning to Minnesota after the war, he bought the 260-acre spread he still lives on, the first step in a varied career, which would ultimately see him serve as Clearwater County sheriff for 10 years.

“I wanted to offer the same kinds of services to Clearwater County residents that Hennepin County offered to its residents, though on a smaller scale,” Felt said. “Which in the end, I did.”

Growing up west of Bemidji, Minn., not far from where he lives now, Felt loved to trap, hunt and fish. He shot his first deer when he was 13 while walking home from school with his dad’s .30-30 Model 94 Winchester.

“I carried the gun with me to school and when I got near school I’d lean it up against a tree,” he said. “Then after school I’d pick it up, and one day on the way home I saw a deer and shot it.”

Tooling around now on his four-wheeler, looking for a buck, Felt was surprised to

soon stumble upon yet another doe.

“I figured, OK, maybe the good Lord wants me to shoot a doe after all,” Felt said, so he grabbed the Husqvarna. As fate had it, the doe remained still while Felt loaded a cartridge and pressed its stock to his shoulder.

4 Baby Boomers, continued from page 13 “The second half of the boom had far more births, (causing) Jonesers to face the pipeline often clogged by boomers and then competing with even bigger numbers around us. So each point in the life cycle, whether we were trying to get into college, getting first jobs, first homes, has been a tough ride.”

Pontell believes the Jonesers have a more difficult time financially than the boomers born between 1946 and 1953.

“Boomers in general have had a pretty good ride. And boomers had big expectations that were often realized,” he said.

“The boomers were not left jonesing.”

There’s no denying the youngest boomer is at a different place in life than the eldest.

Rose, who is director of community and public relations at the Haven of Rest in Akron, Ohio, has three grown sons. Her firstborn is 47, just three years younger than “Joneser” Gene Fitch of Hudson, Ohio, who will turn 50 this year. Fitch has two teenage boys; Rose has grandchildren the same age.

The teen years for the youngest and oldest boomers were also much different. “Ben Hur” and “West Side Story” won Academy Awards in the early ’60s.

During that time, “The Andy Griffith Show,” “My Three Sons,” “The Addams Family” and “The Beverly Hillbillies” debuted. And Alfred Hitchcock freaked out teens with “Psycho.”

“I remember the Hula-Hoop contests at the State Road Shopping Center, my dad buying me a transistor radio, and paisley hip huggers,” Rose said, chuckling.

During their teen years, the youngest boomers watched shows like “Three’s Company,” “M*A*S*H” and “Dallas.” The

17

golden times films “Kramer vs. Kramer” and “Ordinary People” won Academy Awards. The toy of the year in 1980 was the Rubik’s Cube.

And many longed to be a preppy.

“I had ‘The (Official) Preppy Handbook.’

It was kind of like the dummies’ guide to being a preppy,” confessed Fitch, account manager at Cleveland’s Majestic Steel.

But perhaps it was the music that set baby boomers apart from those who came before and since. When the oldest boomers were children, the rock ’n’ roll revolution began. The year that the youngest boomer was born, and the oldest turned 18, the first Beatles album was released in the United States. And while some of the older boomers went to Woodstock, the youngest were left behind.

As for sports, in 1964, the year that the youngest boomers entered the world, the Cleveland Browns beat the Baltimore Colts 27-0 to win the NFL championship for the fourth and final time, at least so far.

The Vietnam War is a significant event in the middle and older boomer’s lives.

Although people like Rose personally knew peers who were drafted, the youngest didn’t have pals who served there.

“I remember that we had the television news on every night and watched the casualty and killed count,” Fitch said. “To me, it seemed like we were always at war.”

When older boomers came home from Vietnam, they didn’t get a hero’s welcome.

Instead, they were often ridiculed and called names. Because of that, those same boomers are making certain the men

and women returning home from the military today are treated with reverence.

As for the famous hippie vibe associated with the 1960s, Pontell said while the youngest members of the generation were too young to participate, they still felt its effects.

“We were impacted (by the ’60s), but we weren’t a part of it,” Pontell said of the Jonesers. “While some of the (older)

boomers still refer to themselves as ‘children of the ’60s,’ really they were well into their teens and 20s. They were out changing the world and we were the ones being formed by those changes.”

Things like peace, love and a wish to change the world intensified the natural open-hearted, loving, idealistic feelings that kids have by virtue of just being kids, Pontell said.

There are just some things the young can’t do

How does the saying go? Look to the youth, for they are the future, is the correct verbiage, I believe.

When youth volunteer, especially college-aged kids, it is a great thing. But with their busy class schedules, jobs, friends and extracurricular activities there are many things they just don’t have the time to do and some things that, by law, they aren’t able to do.

I learned this recently at the My Own Home volunteer recognition/recruitment dinner. For instance students are not able to drive members of My Own Home to and from appointments, which is a big need, said Chelsey Fanara, volunteer and member services coordinator for the organization. Most of the volunteers she currently has are college students and she is in need of older volunteers to do the things the others can’t or won’t.

I am a huge volunteer advocate. I believe volunteers make the world move. They are, in my opinion, the backbone to every great community, which is

why when I was invited to attend the dinner I was more than happy to do so and excited to write about the experience.

The theme of the dinner was “Past, Present and Future Volunteers” to acknowledge and thank current volunteers as well as recruit new ones.

The event was small but that is to be expected as it was the first time the organization had put on such an event. But Fanara is hoping it will become an annual event with more participation.

I had the great fortune to sit with some very interesting people like Jane Freed. Freed was on the board of directors at the beginning when My Own Home was being formed. Freed works at the Idaho Geological Survey office in Moscow doing map production and digital cartography. She told us all about what goes into making a geological map — there is a lot to it and it takes several people doing different parts of the mapping project to make a complete map. It was a really interesting thing to learn.

Also seated at the table with us was Dan Pierce. He got involved in volunteering for My Own Home several years ago, and

between singing with his barbershop quartet and the Palouse Harmony Chorus he manages to help out still, but said he is looking to do more.

The My Own Home organization is a nonprofit with a goal of helping seniors and others in need of assistance be independent and remain in their homes. They do it on a membership basis, meaning those in need of the help the program offers become members and Fanara finds volunteers to fill those needs.

“If I can’t find a volunteer,” Fanara said. “I’m doing it.

I don’t let it just fall to the wayside, they need to trust

me.”

There have been times when Fanara has had to close the office to take a person to an appointment, but that means she isn’t there to talk to new volunteers or new members — she needs a larger volunteer base, which is one of the things she was hoping to accomplish with the dinner.  Hayden may be contacted at phayden@lmtribune.com or (208) 848-2243.

Dear Voter, When I saw how many mentally ill people were charged with crimes I started the first mental health court in this region.

When I saw the role of alcohol and drugs in crime, I ran three drug courts. I know the difference between people who do bad things because they are sick and those who do bad things because they are bad, I saw that the sick got treated and the bad went to prison. That's why I ask for your vote for District Judge on May 20.
