My birthday is April 1, 1932.

I was seen in such ďŹ lms as “Singing in the Rainâ€? and “The Rat Race.â€?

In 1955, I married Eddie Fisher.

We have two children.

In my ďŹ lms the dancing was me but often my singing was dubbed over.

Q: How does a blind or visually impaired person sign up for or change a special notice option?

A: To sign up or change options, you can: Call us toll-free at (800) 772-1213 (TTY [800] 325-0778); Visit your local Social Security ofďŹ ce; or Contact the U.S. Embassy or consulate if you live outside of the U.S. For more information about your choices for receiving information from Social Security, go to www. socialsecurity.gov/notices. ——— Q: What are the beneďŹ ts of using direct deposit or electronic payments?

A: It’s safe, it’s secure, it’s convenient, your checks will not get lost in the mail, you choose the account where your payment is deposited and you will get your beneďŹ ts on time, even if you’re out of town or unable to get to the bank.

With few exceptions, nowadays, if you sign up for beneďŹ ts, you must get your payments electronically. And if you are getting paper checks, the deadline to switch to electronic payments was March 1. If you don’t have a bank account, you can use the Direct Express prepaid debit card to get Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments deposited directly into your account. Go to www.godirect.org. ——— Q: I’m 65, not ready to retire, but I want to apply for my Medicare coverage. How can I do that?

A: The easiest and most convenient way is to apply online. Use our online application to sign up for Medicare. It takes less than 10 minutes. In most cases, once your application is submitted electronically, you’re done. There are no forms to sign and usually no documentation is required. Social Security will process your application and contact you if we need more information. Otherwise you’ll receive your Medicare card in the

Get started today at www.socialsecurity.gov/medicareonly. ——— Q: I’m trying to ďŹ gure out how much I need to save for my retirement. Does the government offer any help with ďŹ nancial education?

A: Yes. For starters, you may want to ďŹ nd out what you can expect from Social Security with a visit to Social Security’s Retirement Estimator at www.social security.gov/estimator. The Financial Literacy and Education Commission has a website that can key you in on the basics of ďŹ nancial education: www. mymoney.gov. Finally, you’ll want to check out the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which offers educational information on a number of ďŹ nancial matters, including mortgages, credit cards, retirement and other big decisions. Visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at www.consum erďŹ nance.gov. ——— Q: I need to get something from Social Security to verify my income. How can I do that?

A: We provide three types of income

It often is used as ofďŹ cial proof of income to: Apply for a loan, give to a landlord, obtain housing assistance, other state or local beneďŹ ts, verify Medicare coverage, retirement status, disability or age.

An SSA-1099 shows your annual income for income tax purposes. We mail the SSA-1099 by Jan. 31 each year. You can request an SSA-1099 online, or you can call us at (800) 772-1213 (TTY [800] 325-0778) between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, or visit a local ofďŹ ce.

Why take a Driver Safety class?

By taking a driver safety course you’ll learn the current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment. You’ll learn how you can manage and accommodate common age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

In addition, you’ll learn: 4 How to minimize the effects of dangerous blind spots 4 How to maintain the proper following distance behind another car 4 The safest ways to change lanes and make turns at busy intersections 4 Proper use of safety belts, air bags, antilock brakes, and new technologies used in cars 4 Ways to monitor your own and others’ driving skills and capabilities 4 The effects of medications on driving 4 The importance of eliminating distractions, such as eating, smoking, and cell-phone use After completing the course, you will have a greater appreciation of driving challenges and of how you can avoid potential collisions and injuries to yourself and others.

Spring is here flowers and trees are blooming, there’s robins in the yard.

Dandelions are growing tall and bright, they seem to be on guard.

Rain starts falling to give the earth a drink.

Birds splash in the puddles the rain has left behind.

The Lament of a Single Husband

His head was in a daze.

She had walked right out and left him with two teenage girls to raise.

I need to go to bed and try to get some sleep, I have to get up early and go to work, right now I’m dead on my feet.

Who’s taking the girls to school in the morning?

If they walk all that way, will they be late?

Will they come right home and start us something to eat?

Is there ball practice that night?

If I can’t get home in time to take them, that will start a big fight.

Oh dear, do they have any clean clothes to wear for school?

Oh my, what’s that laying on the stairs?

Oh God, how could you do this to me?

Stay with me God and show me the way.

Street in Lewiston and helped move it to its current location. Through her experience at the pregnancy center she saw a need at St. Vincent and determined she could help more people through its program, so she joined the board of directors. She helped open the doors of St. Vincent’s social services building located on Second Street in Clarkston. Since its opening, she has worked with those in need to get the services that will help them. Through a list of available resources in the area and the services St. Vincent has to offer, she is able to assist people with everything from food and clothing to getting them in touch with an organization that can help with lodging and other needs.

“One of the reasons I’m here is because there was a time I needed these things and now I can give back,” Ellen Dekan said. “I feel good about being able to really give the people who come in something. We can’t pay their rent or utility bill but we can help them with budgetary items like hygiene, clothes and food.”

In 2011, George Dekan joined his wife at St. Vincent, using his business degree to help with the thrift stores.

He worked to get a forklift and bailing machine to use for recycling clothing. He works with recycling compaEllen and George Dekan nies to get the clothes sent to Africa.

I start my column with this Italian proverb because it captured perfectly the relationships of those attending the spaghetti lunch I ate recently at Orchards United Methodist Church.

The lunch is served at the church as part of the Senior Nutrition Program in Lewiston on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week.

I was running late on this particular day. Well, late for me anyway.

I made it to the church in plenty of time for the meal, but I try to show up at least a half hour prior to the meal when I go to any of the senior meal sites.

This gives me time to talk to some of the people who volunteer their time to make these meals possible as well as meet more of the seniors. But on this day I arrived just 10 minutes before the meal, so I paid for my lunch and chose a table at which to sit.

My lunch companions were three women, Juanita Reece,

Norma Sorenson and of the menu in Golden Dorothy Marvin, Times and this isn’t whose company made the first time I have the delicious meal all heard that. I explained the better. If the provI had to change the erb is true, then these layout to include the women will never age.

4 Senior Talk, continued from page 18 “You know, I bet if you check, virtually 100 percent of us read Golden Times. I’m not too much on the reading, but I do look at the pictures,” Niswander joked.

Reece moved to the Orchards about 10 years ago from Cavendish and has been coming to the meals since then.

“It’s a nice, friendly place to come,” she said. “Sometimes if you don’t care for the food you come anyhow for the social part.”

MOND A Y, A P R IL 1 , 2 0 1 3

This, as I’ve said before in these columns, is one of the most important parts about these senior nutrition programs. The food is important — many of the seniors need the nutrition — but the camaraderie is what keeps them coming to a particular meal site.

Reece’s widower brother-in-law, Harold Silflow, comes to the lunches, too. After her sister died in December, she encouraged him to start coming with her. He was sitting at a table full of women on this day and I asked him about it: “I like to sit with women,” he said. “If you sit with men they talk about all the old stuff I know but if you sit with

women they teach me,” he said.

Reece talked about her morning routine and how the Tribune was a big part of it.

“I read it from cover to cover. My friends always say ‘Well how do you know that?’ Well if you read everything you might find out,” she said. Sometimes, she said, she thinks to herself “Why am I reading this?” But she keeps reading the story anyway.  Hayden can be reached at phayden@lmtribune. com or (208) 848-2243.
