Aaron Shearer played a time or two in Lewiston.

Shearer, born in Anatone and coincidentally married to Friddle’s sister-in-law, became a nationally recognized classical guitarist who taught and developed learning techniques still used today. Though he was known for his classical work, he could play anything, Hopkins said.

Hopkins remembered a time in the early 1940s when Shearer brought a guitar amp — unheard of at the time — to a swing gig where he was playing.

Hopkins was still in high school and was the trumpet lead. He noticed Shearer’s great chords and solid rhythms, but when Shearer asked if he could take the solos, Hopkins refused. It wasn’t until years later he realized the caliber of musician he had turned down.

Musicians were often paid between $30-$50 a night.

to town to visit his mother and sister, who lived in the valley, Hopkins explained. During one of his visits to see them, he arranged a performance for him and a group of musicians from Los Angeles. They played for more than an hour and ended the show with Gentlemen of Note joining them on stage.

“We never sounded better,” Hopkins recalled.

The valley attracted other major swing musicians through a unique marketing campaign instrument manufacturers used. They would pay national musicians to travel to various locations to showcase their brands. These individuals would come through town as their schedule allowed to host clinics, concerts and visits to the local schools. That’s how musicians like Buddy DeFranco and Joe Murello ended up in town.

A second band emerged

and played swing music every Friday and Saturday night at the grange hall.

“I started at country dances where they didn’t give you music, they just pointed at you when when it was your turn to play,” Friddle said.

She didn’t know what she was doing, Friddle said, but she was eager to earn some extra money. She was paid $5 a night. She remembered thinking she didn’t know what notes would come out of her instrument — and she didn’t care — she just had to get something out.

After she married Claude, they would often play together in a larger band. When they moved to the valley in the 1960s, they set their instruments aside until they formed the Friddle Baker Band.

Their band, made up of six to seven pieces, had no trouble finding weekend performances and were the house band at the Eagles for seven years during the 1980s.

Friddle played saxophone, her husband played piano, Kenny Baker played trombone and they filled the remaining slots as needed. The Friddle Baker Band earned the couple enough money to help put two of their daughters through college.

“At the time, of course, rock was not a socially acceptable form of music,” Hopkins said.

But by the 1980s, the swing audiences were older, and rock and country western were the music styles of choice.

Dance and entertainment trends changed, too, and with fewer people coming out for swing music, clubs could no longer pay the musicians to play. By the end of the 1980s, the Gentlemen of Note and the Friddle Baker Band had fizzled out.

Carpal Tunnel syndrome is the most Levi Frasier, PT frequent nerve entrapment with up to 3.8% of the population experiencing symptoms. Women and those with diabetes are at higher risk. Symptoms commonly include tingling, pain and numbness in the palm of the hand. Symptoms are usually worse at night, and are exacerbated by repetitive activity at the wrist.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be diagnosed with physical therapy evaluation. Common predictors of accurate diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome include shaking hands for symptom relief, decreased feeling at the thumb, and age greater than 45 years. Physical therapy can assist in minimizing the effect of carpal tunnel symptoms with a comprehensive evaluation and treatment. Treatment may include therapeutic modalities, manual therapy treatment and home exercise as well as modification of activities.

You are of me!

Yet strange to me.

You speak, Not knowing your eyes speak a language of their own!

We turn over the hurts, disappointments, seeking to understand.

We see each other now, our roles from the past,

straining to control!

You are knocking at the door of the future!

While I, enshrine the past, hoping to delay your entry.

For I am just a speck in your future.

My life’s journey, will overlap yours, for just an instant!

Vets weigh in on presidential race It may not surprise you that when I joined a group of veterans having coffee at Jack in the Box the day after the Democratic presidential debate much of the conversation surrounded politics.

After all, being vets, the presidential race holds a different meaning for these men.

What may surprise you is the first name offered up on the Republican side that they would like to see get the nomination — Carly Fiorina.

The other candidate they liked was Ben Carson.

They didn’t all agree, of course.

“I think they ought to have a new rule that anyone running for Commentary president has to have a military background,” Larry Buchanon said.

“How can you be the commander and chief of all the armed services and not know what leftright is?”

By that standard none of the current candidates on either side make the cut. As a matter of fact, the

alk

Peggy J. Hayden

only three to have thrown their hat in the 2016 race who did have military backgrounds were former Virgina Sen. Jim Webb, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. All of whom have dropped out of the race.

Others in this group, who served in wars ranging from World War II to Afghanistan and Iraq, like Herman Shuping, felt the president should appoint leaders and then let the military do its job.

“Yes, it should be the generals fight the wars,” George Samsel said. “And the politicians keep their mouths shut a little bit.”

This comment prompted a joke about politicians keeping their mouths shut being an oxymoron, which led to a moment of laughter.

Military concerns aren’t the only thing these men are paying attention to; they are concerned about many of today’s issues.

“How come (Donald) Trump can be quite the comedian or quite a performer on stage, but where’s his answers for all the things we have troubles with in this country?” Buchanon said. “Or any of the things? Not even all of them. One would be good.”

With that being said, one thing was clear — no matter what — the consensus was that any of the Republican candidates would get these guys’ vote before Hillary Clinton would. Nonetheless, a couple of them believe she will be the next president.

“I’m not a Democrat,” Marv Welter said. “But I’ll bet you Hillary will get it though. … She’s gonna be hard to beat.”

Even if she is “a hell of a good debater,” like Samsel said. If Clinton does win it won’t be with the help of these vets.

Welter said he believes Trump is scaring people too much.

“You can’t get too bold and make too

many remarks about the foreign countries,” he said.

“You can’t do that and be a good president.”

They may not like Clinton, but it seems they like Bernie Sanders even less.

“Colnel Sanders has more to offer,” was one remark made when Sanders’ name came up.

LeRoy Lewis met Clinton while serving in Iraq and described her as being “kind of ornery.” But the men did seem to respect her intelligence. They didn’t have a problem with her being a woman.

There was actually talk of the numerous good female leaders around the world.

It, on the face of it, seemed to me, more about the policies of the party she represents than her as an individual or as a woman.

No matter who is elected to be our next president, these vets, who are also seniors, have a lot of skin in the game, as it were. Anyone could argue the same I suppose. It seems we Americans all feel like what is going on in our life is directly related to the rest of the world. And it may be, but for veterans — especially those who served in a war zone — it’s different. Most Americans don’t know what it means to risk their life for something. Veterans view the world in a very different way than the rest of us.  Hayden may be contacted at phayden@lmtribune.com or (208) 848-2243.

TNS — Ron Greer’s labor of love has two big pink tires.

The tires fit perfectly with the color scheme — and message — of the custom HarleyDavidson motorcycle he remade from the frame up.

The Akron, Ohio, resident and Florida snowbird took almost nine months to build the large bike as he recovered from chemo and radiation treatments for lung cancer.

He recalled at times he only had the strength to work on the 2000 Road King, for 15 minutes before needing to rest for an hour and then get back to work.

“It’s one of a kind. You’ll never see another one like it,” Greer said.

He wants as many people as possible to see it.

was done by an artist in Ocala, Fla. The bright pink tires are a limited edition put out several years ago by Dunlop, a Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. brand. Just 600 of the tires were made and Greer managed to snag two of them for his project.

Greer credits his wife, Ligaya, for getting him through the project.

“I handed him tools. I handed him food. I reminded him to take his medicine,” Ligaya said. She is from the Philippines and was visiting there when her husband got his cancer diagnosis.

Ligaya said her husband was determined to see the bike project through.

Greer said building the motorcycle was therapeutic and helped him get his mind off his problems.

WHO AM I?

Page 13 .........................

I was born Feb. 1, 1901, in Cadiz, Ohio, and died Nov. 16, 1960, at the age of 59, in Los Angeles.

Carl F. DeVault

I began my acting career as a stage actor and was an extra in a few silent films starting at age 23. My final appearance on the big screen was after my death in the movie “The Misfits.”

John Funke

I was married five times, first in 1924 to Josephine Dillon. We divorced in 1930. In 1931, I married Maria Langham and we divorced in 1939. My next marriage was to Carole Lombard in 1939. We divorced three years later. I took a seven year hiatus from marriage before marrying Sylvia Ashley in 1949. This marriage also lasted three years. My fifth wife was Kay Williams. We were married in 1955 and remained married until my death.

(Across from Lewiston Albertsons)

Q: How are my retirement benefits calculated?

A: Your benefits are based on earnings averaged over your lifetime. Your actual earning are first adjusted or “indexed” to account for changes in average wages since the year the earnings were received. Then we calculate your average monthly indexed earnings were received. Then we calculate your average monthly indexed earnings during the 35 years in which you earned the most. We apply a formula to these earnings and arrive at your basic benefit. This is the amount you would receive at your full retirement age.

You may be able to estimate your benefit by using the “Retirement Estimator,” found on our website (listed at the bottom of this column), which offers estimates based on your Social Security earnings.

——— Q: I know that Social Security’s full retirement age is gradually rising to

67, but does that mean “early” retirement age will also be going up by two years, to age 64?

A: No. While it is true that under current law the full retirement age is gradually rising from 65 to 67, the “early” retirement age remains at age 62. Keep in mind, however, that taking early retirement reduces your benefit amount. More information about this subject can be found on the Social Security website.

——— Q: Next month I’ll turn 65, and because of my financial situation, I thought I’d be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). But my neighbor told me I’d probably be turned down because I have a friend who said he might help support me. Is this true?

A: If your friend helps support you, it could have an effect on whether you get SSI and on the amount you receive. Whether you
