WHO AM I? I was born July 1, 1934, in Toledo, Ohio.

The character I played in a long-running TV series had many things in common with me, such as my heritage and birthplace.

My wife, Joy Ann Richards, and I have been married for 50 years and have two children.

Answer on Page 14

Thought for the month “Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is 8 or 9, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.”

— Bill Cosby

A: There are four parts to Medicare: l Part A (hospital insurance) helps pay for inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing care, hospice care and other services. l Part B (medical insurance) helps pay for doctors’ fees, outpatient hospital visits, and other medical services and supplies that are not covered by Part A. l Part C (Medicare Advantage) plans, available in some areas, allow you to choose to receive all of your health care services through a provider organization. These plans may help lower your costs of receiving medical services, or you may get extra benefits for an additional monthly fee. You must

Recession took greater toll on older consumers, FICO finds

By Eileen Ambrose The Baltimore Sun

It seems everyone was racking up debt before the 2007 recession hit. But once the economy tanked, consumers started paying it down. That is, except those who are age 60 and older, according to FICO, the credit score company.

In fact, consumers in that age group saw the steepest decline in credit scores. Back in 2005, 55.4 percent of consumers older than 60 had healthy FICO scores of 760 or higher. That dropped to 51.6 percent last year.

Debt is a factor in credit scores. FICO found debt among those 60 and older rose from $49,330 to $55,200 in the five years after October 2007, a nearly 12 percent increase.

FICO cites the reasons behind this: l Older workers who lost jobs didn’t find new gigs quickly and relied more on credit cards to get them through. l Many older workers, too, were forced into early retirement before they had adequately built up a nest egg. Again, credit cards came to the rescue. l Older consumers took advantage of low interest rates, borrowing more for cars and houses.

l And older adults added to their student loan debt, either borrowing to get retraining for themselves or co-signing a loan for a younger student.

In comparison, younger con-

sumers decreased their credit card debt, and 18- to 29-yearolds improved their credit scores. ď ˇ Visit The Baltimore Sun at www.baltimoresun.com.

A cut and a shave: No frills no fuss A barbershop, like the one seen on ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’ is hard to come by these days, unless you’re in Lewiston

Tribune/Steve Hanks

Tullos Warren gives his customers old fashioned service, offering simple military and flat-top hair cuts and straight-razor shaves for a small charge.

And he does it all in his single-chair shop located in his Normal Hill home in Lewiston.

“Every year I kept tellin’ my family, you know, this is my last year in this hellhole — I’m gettin’ out of here,” he recalled. “It got to be a family joke.”

He said he thought about moving to Oregon, but so many people at the barbershop talked about moving there he figured it wouldn’t be any better than staying in California. So he picked Idaho, where in 1972 he took over a Kooskia shop from a retiring barber.

He worked in Kooskia 14 years before moving to Lewiston in 1986.

He had a barbershop on Main Street in Lewiston, where he employed three other barbers. In 1991, he started cutting hair out of a shop inside his Normal Hill home where he lives with his partner of nearly 30 years, Janice.

Warren doesn’t take appointments.

If he’s busy, customers wait or stop back in later. On a slow day, he works on his classic cars, a 1950 Ford, a ’59 El Camino and a ’68 Mustang.

Through the years, his prices have risen some, but very gradually, he said.

A haircut is $10. A shave is $4.

“Down in California, the state set the minimum — they told you what you had to charge,” he said. “I never did like that; I figured a guy ought to be able to do what you want to.”

“The other day I was telling a guy, ‘Here you get a $10 haircut every

month, that’s $120 a year.’

That guy said, ‘I never thought about it that way — my wife spends that much in a beauty shop in one trip.’ ” Warren uses the same three models of clippers he’s used since barber school and a straight razor he hones on a leather strop affixed to his work station.

“I’m about the only one anymore that shaves around the neck and nobody else here in the valley at all gives a face shave,” he said.

This classic treatment is something customers seek out and come back for.

One of his first Idaho clients was a man from Kooskia who now travels to Lewiston for every haircut, he said.

“He absolutely won’t let anybody cut his hair except me,” Warren said. “He told me, ever since ’72, since I come to Kooskia, he’s never missed a haircut with me.”

Another loyal client from Joseph, Ore., he said, drove to Lewiston via Walla Walla for a haircut one time when Rattlesnake Grade was washed out.

He said he has customers from Pomeroy, Moscow, Grangeville, White Bird, Riggins and Kooskia, among other places.

Though many of his clients are regulars, new faces of a variety of ages come through his door.

“I get a lot from the college over here and high school kids,” he said.

He doesn’t see a lot of small children, but it’s not unusual for a grandfather to bring in a grandson, as happened recently when he was asked to fix a 2½year-old’s home haircut before pictures were taken.

“He brought him in and we wrassled with him,” Warren said. “He was a little character, but we got ’er cut.”

What he doesn’t do is women’s hair, although a few times in Kooskia he had female customers who came into the shop and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Customers often assume his surname is his first name and that’s OK with him, Warren said. His first name, Tullos (Rhymes with Dulles, as in the airport), is a common family name in the South, he said, though he’s not sure how he ended up with it as a first name.

When he got out of barber school, he got a traditional holder with his first name on it for displaying his license on a barbershop wall.

“And people just drove me crazy,” he said.

They couldn’t remember the name, or how to pronounce it, so he got a new license holder with the name “Warren”

Love Wins Love is strange and awesome, for when the seeds of kindness and goodness are sown.

That is indeed what you will get back into your life.

And if you sow deceit and hat that too is what you will get.

Hate cannot become love, but love can become hate.

And when you do good, that goodness remains — but when you turn that goodness into bad, you begin to reap the bad.

For the two are not the same.

Look into your garden what do you see?

Is it full of beautiful flowers, or have the thorns and thistles overtaken the beauty of the flowers?

If you see the thorns and thistles, then you have taken the beauty away forever.

When your flowers stay and are of great beauty, love wins!

Caring For Daddy Bending down I lean over the bed and lie, with a smile on my face, dropping a tear on your gown, I try.

To bring you comfort, hours fly, for 65 years

no one’s taken your place.

From lots of experience, I spy some blood on your gown right by where you flung your arm (yes, a trace).

Into the bed — do not cry.

I will mend all the places you hurt, I lie!

Force a smile on my face. “I always have, haven’t I?�

You tell me, “Yes dear,� you also lie, when you love someone — this is the case.

You must endure — keep your faith nearby.

From lots of experience I try.

This time it’s different — can’t help it, I cry.

It’s hard to be always the one who is strong.

If I said I’d do it again, don’t listen — I lie!

The Fish Loaded up the boat, headed for the lake, fish are biting they say, it’s your limit you can take.

Could hardly wait, fishing gear is ready, have lots of bait.

Boats were lined up, I had to wait.

We got into the water headed for my favorite spot where the fishing was hot.

Cast out my line, ready for a bite, a jiggle and a fight, landing one has to be done just right.

My pole jiggled and jerked, worked it in excitedly, he flashed up through the water, a big one I could see, he was giving me a fight.

Just as my friend dropped the net, he threw my hook and disappeared in the water’s light.

Watched him as he disappeared, swimming with all his might.

All at once up he jumped high in the air, before he left again, he smiled with delight, you can believe me, to it I swear.

This isn’t just a story nor is it a fisherman’s lie.

I’m glad you wasn’t around to see a grown man cry.

Transitioning through life’s seasons with acceptance

House Call Dr. Elizabeth Black

The summer season has arrived.

There are birds in the trees, boats on the river and no sign of the winter that has passed.

Life is all about change. We grow, change and have new experiences. We will never be the same tomorrow as we were yesterday.

Many changes fill us with excite-

One of the most difficult things to accept is we will all transition from this life. Mortality is difficult to accept and death can seem frightening to us and for our loved ones, yet, it can remain a goal to be safe and supported until our very last days.

Ask openly about advance directives, assistance services and hospice and palliative care organizations. End-of-life workers are committed to continuing the goals of safety, dignity and support through the last days of life and aiding you, your families and loved ones in the last transition we all will make.

Don’t wait until transitions are upon you to learn about the support and assistance available to you. Make planning for the future a part of your regular discussions with family and health care providers, no matter where you are in the changing seasons of your life. Enjoy this day we are given and all the days you will have.  Black practices at Blue Mountain Family Medicine, 1271 Highland Ave., Suite B, Clarkston, (509) 751-5500.

drug makes it that far, it should be leveraged for other uses.

Drugs are typically developed for one purpose; however, “observing how they act in humans can open our eyes to other, possibly more valuable, uses,” Gardell said.

Alzheimer’s disease progressively destroys the connections among neurons, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline.

In the U.S., an estimated 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer’s, and as many as 16 million Americans will by 2050,

384183GA_13

ORLANDO, Fla. — Scientists at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute have discovered a combination of two FDA-approved drugs that appears to stop — and possibly reverse — the destructive changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

By combining two widely used drugs, nitroglycerin and memantine, researchers created a third drug: NitroMemantine. In animal models, the hybrid appears to restore synapses — the connections between neurons — lost in the disease process, according to findings from a 10-year study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The new experimental drug may be the first to restore brain synapses lost during the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, said Dr. Stuart Lipton, professor and director of Sanford-Burnham’s neuroscience, aging and stem-cell research center, and the study’s lead researcher.

“These findings actually mean that you might be able to intercede not only early but also a bit later,” said Lipton, whose team studied the drug combination in mice and in brain cells derived from human stem cells.

The new combo drug — devel-

oped by researchers at SanfordBurnham’s LaJolla, Calif., center — is part of an overall effort focused at its Orlando, Fla., sister facility that explores ways scientists can “re-purpose” already approved drugs in new ways to treat disease.

“The potential of drug repurposing is enormous and will accelerate the pace of drug discovery,” said Dr. Steve Gardell, senior director of scientific resources at Sanford-Burnham in Lake Nona.

To get a new drug approved for use in humans is a tremendous accomplishment, he said. Once a

ment. We begin as children and transition to adulthood. We graduate from school, move out on our own, and soon we see our children grow, become adults and have children of their own.

Some changes are more difficult to accept. Eventually, we realize we have been aging and it is harder to do the things we love doing, especially if we face illness and disability. We hope to lead a healthy and active lifestyle and remain physically vital for many decades, but changes happen to us all.

Often, people in my practice suffer accidents which occur because they have not accepted and accommodated for the changes they have experienced. Sometimes there will be an injury because someone did not have the assistance they needed. Fortunately, we can become wiser with time and make sure we have appropriate support.

We can take an exercise class, install safety equipment and speak to our families, health care providers and community support organizations to help us stay safe and happy.

Sometimes, we need more help at home or a transition to living with family or an adult assisted living center.

There’s an app for gramps

Tech companies have made hundreds of gadgets and applications for smartphone-addicted teenagers and young professionals. But now, there’s technology just for grandparents.

New online and mobile services to help aging adults live alone in their own homes and ease the burden on their caregivers are cropping up.

From in-home sensors that monitor when a senior leaves the house or takes medicine, to wireless technology that allows elderly patients to get medical treatment without leaving home, this emerging technology can dramatically improve lives for seniors and entire families, according to tech business leaders and experts on aging.

Until recently, the tech industry has largely ignored the elderly. Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and developers tend to be in their 20s, and many have focused only on building smartphone apps and Internet services that make life more convenient for consumers the same age, said Iggy Fanlo, co-founder of San Franciscobased Lively, a wireless technology for aging adults and their caregivers. “It’s a youthobsessed culture,” Fanlo said.

But Silicon Valley companies have the chance to create technology with a greater social impact, and probably get just as rich as they would building a video game or shopping app, said David Lindeman, director of the Center for Technology and Aging in Oakland, Calif.

“These areas may not be sexy in terms of the latest and greatest device, but they will have the broadest and longest-lasting social impact,” he said.

By 2030, 20 percent of the U.S. will be age 65 and older, and more of them will live longer and more independently in their older years than any time in history. The age to

enter a nursing home is inching up, with one study putting the national average at 89.

With older relatives living longer and staying at home, there is often more of a burden on the caregiver to help with medication and doctor’s visits, and daily tasks such as cooking, errands and home repairs. Tech companies are beginning to step in and help.

Next month, Fanlo and his team will launch Lively, a sensor-based technology that tracks an elderly person’s movements at home. Small wireless sensors are placed around the house — on the bathroom door, refrigerator or pill box — and count on average how many times the pill box opens or how long the elderly person stays in the bathroom. Lively figures out the person’s daily routine, and if something goes awry — maybe the pill box opens only once, but the medication has three daily doses — the company will alert family, friends and neighbors with text messages and emails.

Patrick Guerra of San Martin, Calif., said he’s been searching for a remote monitoring technology like Lively to “provide a tremendous amount of security I don’t have today.”

Guerra, who works in high tech, helps care for his 87year-old mother and 88-yearold mother-in-law who both live alone and have health problems. After a recent weekend away in Las Vegas, he called his mother-in-law and got a busy signal. Worried, he drove to her house in Los Gatos, Calif., to discover she had bumped the phone off the hook. About a year ago, she slipped into a coma state after missing a dose of medication. Guerra said he found her nonresponsive on her couch.

“The issue is just not having this anxiety and wondering, ‘Why aren’t they answering the phone?’ ” he said.

Home repairs can also cause anxiety for older people

“When you need a helping hand!”

according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

The disease is characterized by abnormal clumps of proteins called amyloid plaques and tangled bundles of fibers.

Until now, medications have focused on attacking the plaques and tangles that form in the brain, said Lipton, who was part of the research team at Harvard that discovered how the drug memantine helped Alzheimer’s patients.

That work contributed to the Food and Drug Administration approval of memantine — sold as Namenda — in 2003, for the treatment of Alzheimer’s. However, that drug’s effectiveness has been limited.

The new research found that when nitroglycerin — commonly used to treat chest pain or angina in patients with coronary heart disease — was added to memantine to form a new drug, the results improved.

It took researchers 37 combinations of the drugs before they found one that worked, Lipton said.

“We show in this paper that memantine’s ability to protect synapses is limited,” Lipton said.

But working with mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, Lip-

ton’s team found NitroMemantine brought synapses back to normal within a few months and started to work within hours.

The study was funded by grants from agencies including the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Defense and the American Heart Association.

Calling the new research “very promising,” Dr. David Smuckler, geriatrician and medical director of Orlando Health’s Center for Aging and Memory Disorder Clinic, said he would welcome a new treatment.

“The medications we have now are not very good. A lot of patients don’t respond, but they’re the best we have,” Smuckler said. “They don’t do much to slow the process, and they definitely don’t reverse it.”

Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at University of California Los Angeles and co-author of “The Alzheimer’s Prevention Program,” also said the research offered hope.

“I like the whole concept,” Small said. “The anti-amyloid drugs have failed. This approach has some interesting science behind it.”

The proof, both agree, remains to be seen when the drug is tested in humans.

That’s the next step.

Once researchers find a pharmaceutical partner, the science will advance to human trials, said Lipton, who estimates it will be “several years” before it’s on the market.

However, he is optimistic about the outcome.

“If you look at action of memantine in mice, it exactly tracks the results in humans. We have Namenda as a proof of principle that it works in humans,” he said. “The fact that we have two safe drugs that are clinically tolerated makes the chance of success much higher.

“Most drugs fail in the brain not because they don’t work, but because patients can’t tolerate them,” he said.

Lipton, also a practicing neurologist who sees Alzheimer’s patients, said that although treatments thus far have been disappointing, he’s optimistic that NitroMemantine will be more effective and “bring new hope to Alzheimer’s patients.”  Visit The Orlando Sentinel (Orlando, Fla.) at www.

ClubLocal, a free web service and mobile application available in Dallas and the San Francisco Bay-area, does background checks on plumbers, handymen and electricians, and sets the price of each service to prevent dishonest markups, said founder Zorik Gordon.

Gladys Lowenstein, 62, recently hired a plumber through ClubLocal to fix her swimming pool in San Jose, Calif. “We are always worried about being safe and making sure people aren’t taking advantage,” she said.

“Over the age of 60, and getting a repair person to your home is not an easy task. You’re increasingly vulnerable.”

Advances in wireless technology are helping seniors get medical care without leaving home. Oakland, Calif., software company Sovran is working with an Asian health tech company, ConnectedHealth, to provide technology that remotely measures a patient’s glucose levels and other vitals, reducing visits to the doctor and hospital stays.

Companies face numerous challenges in making technology for the elderly. Many seniors don’t use cellphones because of deteriorating eyesight and motor skills, and they often don’t have an Internet connection or a computer. Others live on a fixed income, such as Social Security, and can’t afford new technology.

“It’s not as easy as putting together an app or a game,” Lindeman said. “But we’re just at the beginning.”  Visit the San Jose Mercury News (San Jose, Calif.) at www.mercurynews.com.

The Kansas City Star

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Chester Pew stood beside his longtime ride, his fishing boat, before he launched it on Clinton Lake and reflected on its longevity.

“You know how long I’ve had this boat?” he said with a twinkle in his eye, knowing that few would be able to answer his question. “I got it in 1955.”

“Just about everything in this boat is old.”

Including the fisherman. Pew is 93.

He doesn’t act his age, though. Much like his boat and old Johnson motor, he was built to last.

Just about every two days, Pew tows his boat from his home in Kansas City, Kan., to Clinton Lake outside Lawrence and goes crappie fishing.

That includes in the heat of summer, when the temperature often soars toward 100 degrees. “I have some of best days in July,” he said. “Why sit at home?”

Pew often fishes alone, though he runs across plenty of friends in other boats. And he does just fine on his own, thank you.

He has devised an easy way to launch and take out his boat. He handles his outboard with ease, and he uses his trolling motor to maneuver his boat exactly where he wants to go.

“I’ve outlived all of my fishing partners,” he said. “I miss them, but I’m not going to let that keep me home.

“People will say, ‘How can a guy that age go out fishing on his own? It’s not safe.’

But people who know me don’t worry.”

“If anything, I’m a better fisherman now than I ever was. I’ve learned a lot through the years.”

Pew provided an example on a recent

weekday. After several days of rain, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature was in the 70s — a perfect day to go fishing.

Pew headed straight through some flooded trees about 30 yards from shore and slowed his motor as he neared “the sweet spot.”

Most fishermen would use an electronic fish finder to determine if there was activity beneath the surface, but Pew didn’t need one. He has fished Clinton since the reservoir opened in the early 1960s, and he’ll tell you he knows what lies below the water as well as any electronic gadget.

Once he wrapped a rope around one of the tree limbs, he pointed to the water in two places.

“There’s some good brush right here,” he said. Then moving his focus several yards to the left, he added, “And right there.”

“Drop your line in there and you should catch a crappie.”

Pew used his sawed-off fly rod and old reel to drop a chartreuse jig down about 7 feet. No sooner had it reached its destination than Pew set the hook and pulled a nice-sized fish to the boat.

I followed suit and dropped my jig into spot No. 2 and duplicated Pew’s success.

We caught two other keeper crappies at that spot and Pew grew impatient.

“Let’s go,” he said. “I know plenty of places.”

“I don’t sit in one place too long.”

Pew spent the rest of

NCS’s goal was to rehab one of those properties, to restore it and make it livable again. Anders, Peters and Matheny see it as a win-win situation: a chance to get people in a home, and to keep the city’s tax base up rather than turning the space into a vacant lot.

“I understand that some homes — vacant or foreclosed — have to be torn down,” Anders noted.

“They call that blight,” Matheny chimed in.

“Every time that happens, (a teardown) the city loses a portion of its tax base, money to support the schools. The more families we can get moving in means whatever income they have, they’re spending it in the community in which they live.”

Anders, Peters and Matheny said they would like to partner with the Barberton Community Foundation to do other proj-

ects involving dilapidated houses in the future.

“Our goal is to do everything we can to help make this a better community and a better world,” Peters said. “We want to give every deserving person the opportunity to be part of a neighborhood.”

“I love that I now have my own house,” a beaming Sheila Harris said, standing in her kitchen with all new appliances. “I love having a yard and doing yardwork.

But mostly we’re excited to give our 10year-old great-grandson a home.” The couple has had him since he was 5.

The Harrises, apart from making monthly loan payments, have a list of projects they’re required to address at their new home, painting chief among them.

Knowing the Harrises’ history of upkeep, NCS has every confidence in the job they’ll do.  Jewell Cardwell can be reached at (330) 996-3567 or jcardwell@thebea conjournal.com. Visit the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal at www.ohio.com.

“Clinton is about the only place I’ll fish,” he said. “I’ve always caught them here, so there’s no reason to go anyplace else.”

“I caught more crappies last summer than I ever have. Hopefully, this year will be just as good.”
