I’ve worked for 20 years for the state and thought it would count. A: If you work for a state or local government agency — including a school system, college or university — your earnings may not be covered by Social Security. If you are covered only by your state or local pension plan and you don’t pay Social Security taxes, your earnings won’t be shown on your Social Security record. (Your record will show your Medicare wages if you pay into that program.)

MOSCOW — The subject for this month’s column was kismet. When I went about choosing a location to visit, I decided it was time to venture outside of the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley to see what seniors in other parts of the region were talking about. My first thought was to check out the Friendly Neighbors website and see what type of things were going on at the Moscow senior center. I found that the center offers computer help Mondays and Wednesdays, facilitated by volunteer Kay Keskinen. Knowing computer use is a big subject with seniors today, I decided this would be great material for a column so I called Keskinen to ask if I could come sit in, a request she kindly accepted. A week later I received an email from Adrienne Bennett at the WA-ID Volunteer Center nominating Keskinen for “Volunteer of the Month.” So I was able to spend a sunny Monday in Moscow and “kill two birds with one stone,” as it were. The center offers computer assistance from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mondays and 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Wednesdays. The center has four desktop

She told the Tribune her family was always giving of their time and that was something she wanted to carry on. “I retired in 2003, and then I did nothing for three months. I stayed home, watched TV and ate bon bons to see how I could fill my days, and after three months I decided it was time to do something.” When asked her favorite part of volunteering, Keskinen replied: “Learning something from the people I help. I’ve learned another way of doing a double click on a PC, I’ve learned about aging, and more.”

and, having only used a PC in the past, needed Keskinen’s help to get familar with the new system. With such a gap in the amount of technology different generations are accustomed to, communicating with younger family member has become more difficult for seniors. Most individuals between the ages of 40 and 60 are using cellphones with ease, are on Facebook and Twitter, talk to loved ones across the country via Skype and email with regularity. Those younger than 40 seem to spend most of their time communicating through text

messages, Facebook and Skype. But a number of seniors have very little to do with computers, creating a hole in family communications. A program like the one at Friendly Neighbors provides older individuals who don’t have a computer, or who are not well-versed in using a computer, an opportunity to get some assistance and bridge the communication gap between grandpa and grandson.  Hayden can be contacted at phayden@lmtribune.com or (208) 848-2243.
