I was born June 1, 1937, in Memphis, Tenn. I have been cast in some of the most well-known ﬁlms during my long career, which began in 1964. My voice has been lent to many documentaries, commercials as well as television and news shows on The Discovery Channel and CBS, respectively. I am still making movies, with my most recent release being “Last Knights.” Jeanette Adair Bradshaw and I were married Oct. 22, 1967, and we divorced Nov. 18, 1979. On June, 16, 1984, I married Myrna Colley-Lee. We divorced Sept. 15, 2010, but had been separated since 2007.

Social Security Q&A Tribune News Service (TNS)

Q: I have been collecting disability benefits for a few years, but I’m getting healthy enough to work again. Can I return to work while getting Social Security disability benefits? A: You may be able to have a trial work period for nine months to test whether you can work. If you get disability benefits and your condition improves or you return to work, you must report these changes to us. You can report these changes by calling us at the toll-free number at the end of this column or by contacting your local office. You can find your local office on our website. ——— Q: My father collects disability benefits, but he is interested in trying to work again. Is there a program that helps disabled people find work while they’re collecting Social Security disability benefits? A: Social Security’s Ticket to Work program can help beneficiaries go to work, get a good job that may lead to a career, save more money and become financially independent. This program doesn’t affect your disability benefits — you can keep collecting your benefits. You can learn more about this

program on our website. ——— Q: My father receives Supplemental Security Income. He recently moved, but he hasn’t reported his new address to Social Security yet. What’s the easiest way to do that? A: You can check your address online by using your personal “My Social Security” account on our website. It is very important Social Security has your father’s most up-to-date information, including any change in income, resources or living arrangements. This will guarantee he is getting the benefit amount to which he is entitled. You can learn more about the rights and responsibilities of Supplemental Security Income recipients online. ——— Q: I am about to get married and I currently receive Supplemental Security Income. Will getting married affect my payments? A: Yes, getting married can change your Supplemental Security Income benefits, and you need to report it to us. If you marry, your spouse’s income and resources may change your benefit amount. If you both receive Supplemental Security Income benefits your benefit amount will change from an individual rate to a couple’s rate. Although getting married

won’t usually affect your disability or retirement benefits, that is not the case if you receive Supplemental Security Income benefits your benefit amount will change from an individual rate to a couple’s rate. Learn more by reading our publication on the subject located on our website. ——— Q: I need proof I receive Medicare benefits. Where can I get a letter providing that? A: If you need proof you get Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income or Medicare you can get an instant benefit verification letter online by using your personal “My Social Security” account. If you don’t receive benefits, your letter will serve as proof of that too. If you recently applied for benefits, the letter will make that clear as well. The information on your benefit verification letter will include information that applies to your situation. You can set up a secure, personal account on our website.  This column was prepared by theSocialSecurityAdministration.

Wedgewood Terrace in Lewiston will have a monthly seminar titled “Alzheimer’s University” on the third Wednesday of each month. The program will cover the basics of the disease, its symptoms, stages, changes in the brain and coping strategies. The next session will be from 4-7 p.m. June 17 at Wedgewood Terrace, 2114 Vineyard Ave. There is a $20

fee for each class to cover cost of dinner and materials. Registration is required and can be completed by calling (208) 743-4545. “There is a great need in the area for basic Alzheimer’s information,” wrote Mark Havens, community relations director at Wedgewood Terrace, in a news release. “Knowledge is power and unless a person wants to do their own research on the Internet, they really need to attend a seminar such as this one.”

required. They are perceived by some as an easier and less expensive solution. But not everyone agrees. “More people use those than should,” Moore said. Many people don’t carefully follow document instructions and even fewer can understand the legal documents they’re creating. He’s seen some people do well with them, he said, but they’re not for everyone. Moore recalled a situation where a person created a series of wills using one of these serMolly vices. After the first will, the person made an updated will and later, several more. After the person’s death, it was found that each new will did not revoke the prior will — making them all viable documents. Added to that, the property named in one will wasn’t necessarily named in future wills, so the court had to determine which parts of which will were valid.

g o l den t i me s

“It was kind of a Frankenstein will and when it was all done, it was very expensive,” Moore said. The traditional approach to getting these legal documents is to visit a lawyer. Moore said while just about any lawyer can create a will, power of attorney or living will, not all of them are certified in estate planning. Moore described the typical process for those who come to his office to have a Steele will and other documents prepared. Potential clients first come pick up an estate planning questionnaire or are sent one by mail or email. The several-page document asks for basic information needed for the will, ranging from names and birthdates of children to who gets what. It also includes a balance sheet to help identify all assets, debts, life insurance plans and more. Once the questionnaire is completed,

a prospective client will set up a meeting to discuss what documents are needed and will receive a price list for services based on what is done and the complexity of the work. Drafts are created and reviewed, and the final version is signed. Clients leave with copies of the documents and they are placed on file at the office. The time it takes can vary, but most can expect to sign the final documents around three weeks after the first meeting. This process will vary at different law offices and depending on client circumstances. “Everyone’s needs are different, so one size doesn’t fit all,” Moore said. “It’s best to work with someone who has some experience in the area of law.” For those who already have a will, there are two additional steps that should be taken — review it regularly and tell your family where it is. Moore and Steele recommend reviewing wills and other documents every three to four years. While Steele does not provide legal services, she does help clients review documents and makes suggestions when they find something is different than they originally thought. This can be the case with a will and with policy beneficiaries. She remembered someone who received a Veterans Administration policy when he served in World War II, with his sister named as the beneficiary. Since that time he had got married, but

because he didn’t update the beneficiary, it was his sister who received the funds upon his death rather than his spouse. In a case like this where beneficiaries are named, the named beneficiary in the policy always takes precedence over what is stated in a will. That said, not every one of life’s changes needs to be reflected in a will. “We write a will to be pretty generic,” Moore said. If a person moves, for example, they don’t need to update their will. However, If they want to add grandchildren or change who gets what or how much, he said, then it’s time to make an appointment with an attorney. And finally, if you’re going to go through all the effort to create and update your will, make sure those who might benefit from it know where to find it. “Have it someplace accessible and let family know where the documents are. If it’s in a safety-deposit box, then make sure they know where the key is,” Steele said. “After all,” she said, “estate planning isn’t just about dying, it’s about creating documents so people know what your wishes are.”  Schmidt can be contacted at themichelleschmidt@gmail.com or at (208) 305-4578.

12 Simple Steps to an Estate Plan by nolo.com A checklist to help you take care of your family by making a will, power of attorney, living will, funeral arrangements, and more. More information on each of these items can be found online, www.nolo.com/legal-encylopedia. 1. Make a will. In a will, you state who you want to inherit your property and name a guardian to care for your young children should something happen to you and the other parent. 2. Consider a trust. If you hold your property in a living trust, your survivors won’t have to go through probate court, a timeconsuming and expensive process. 3. Make health care directives. Writing out your wishes for health care can protect you if you become unable to make medical decisions for yourself. Health care directives include a health care declaration (“living will”) and a power of attorney for health care, which gives someone you choose the power to make decisions if you can’t. (In some states, these documents are combined into one, called an advance health care directive). 4. Make a financial power of attorney. With a durable power of attorney for finances, you

can give a trusted person authority to handle your finances and property if you become incapacitated and unable to handle your own affairs. The person you name to handle your finances is called your agent or attorney-in-fact (but doesn’t have to be an attorney). 5. Protect your children’s property. You should name an adult to manage any money and property your minor children may inherit from you. This can be the same person as the personal guardian you name in your will. 6. File beneficiary forms. Naming a beneficiary for bank accounts and retirement plans makes the account automatically “payable on death” to your beneficiary and allows the funds to skip the probate process. Likewise, in almost all states, you can register your stocks, bonds, or brokerage accounts to transfer to your beneficiary upon your death. 7. Consider life insurance. If you have young children or own a house, or you may owe significant debts or estate tax when you die, life insurance may be a good idea. 8. Understand estate taxes. Most estates — more than 99.7% — won’t owe federal estate taxes. For deaths in 2015, the federal govern-

ment will impose estate tax at your death only if your taxable estate is worth more than $5.43 million. (This exemption amount rises each year to adjust for inflation.) Also, married couples can transfer up to twice the exempt amount tax-free, and all assets left to a spouse (as long as the spouse is a U.S. citizen) or tax-exempt charity are exempt from the tax. 9. Cover funeral expenses. Rather than a funeral prepayment plan, which may be unreliable, you can set up a payable-on-death account at your bank and deposit funds into it to pay for your funeral and related expenses. 10. Make final arrangements. Make your wishes known regarding organ and body donation and disposition of your body — burial or cremation. 11. Protect your business. If you’re the sole owner of a business, you should have a succession plan. If you own a business with others, you should have a buyout agreement. 12. Store your documents. Your attorney-in-fact and/or your executor (the person you choose in your will to administer your property after you die) will need access to your documents.

her will. Over the years, we’ve sent money to orphanages in Mexico, Brazil, Uganda and India. We provided the funds needed for a well in Nicaragua, paid for repairs on a home in the Philippines, purchased land for a home in Haiti and built a dorm house for street kids in Rwanda. It’s not that my aunt was wealthy — her main asset was a home — but well-invested American dollars go a long way overseas. I’d like to say her estate changed the world, or at least the lives of many children. But I don’t know that. All I know is that it changed me. When I first heard about the estate plan, it sounded like work. Especially since I didn’t really care about orphans — not that much, anyway. I’d have gladly taken a chunk of cash — or even nothing — over the responsibility of figuring out what to do with the money. But 12 years later, I wouldn’t trade what I have now for anything. I blew off my own participation for the first couple years. But over time, my perspective changed and the opportunity to give away

piles of someone else’s money sounded like a lot of fun. And it was. If you haven’t had the opportunity to write checks to charities for thousands of dollars, I’m telling you, that’s something special. To begin with, we gave away smaller amounts while we got the hang of giving and learned what types of organizations we wanted to support. One of these smaller donations was to an organization in Rwanda. I had to pretend I knew of the country and its tumultuous recent history when I first heard about it. We made a small donation and asked to find out more about the work they did. I was expecting brochures or maybe a newsletter, but instead they offered to visit. A month later, a few young Rwandans and their American chaperones — none of whom I’d ever met before — were staying in my home for the night. That changed everything. Prior to that moment, “orphans” were nameless, faceless people in other countries. Now, they were sitting in my living room telling me about how they had lived alone in the forest as children, and how

they like lots of milk and sugar in their tea. Yes, they were different from me, but not as much as I had thought. For the first time, I knew orphans and it turned out, I did care. Once your heart shows up at the party, it’s a done deal. The relationships that began during the first visit continued to developed over time until Rwanda became an integral part of my life. The trust fund allowed us to sponsor two university students and build a home for street kids. Besides that, my church ended up partnering with the organization, which resulted in dozens of child sponsorships, the building of a children’s home and several events for street kids. Through this connection, I was able to visit Rwanda twice. The first time with my church and the second time with the organization. (It was the second time that I ended up on the mototaxi. The first time we were told not to ride them and the second time I just pretended like I didn’t know the rules.)

Vertigo is defined as a false sensation of selfmotion, dizziness, or spinning often associated with head movement. A common cause of vertigo that increases with age is termed Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV. This may be caused by movement in the “crystals” in the inner ear. As a result, the risk of falling increases. Recent studies suggest a possible relationship between BPPV and osteoporosis, or low bone mineral density. Osteoporosis can significantly Levi Frasier, PT impact risk of fracture and decrease quality of life. A current research report in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy suggests that the risk of fractures due to BPPV increases significantly after the age of 65 for both men and women. Changes in activity after a fracture can increase the impact of other health issues such as diabetes, stroke and hypertension that further the risk of falls. Timely and accurate diagnosis of BPPV can improve quality of life and minimize your risk of fractures in the elderly population.

Arthritis: Part of the normal aging process or something more?

4 Volunteer Opps, continued from page 27 assist at garden events. More information about volunteering at the Clarkston Community Garden is available by calling Ken Roberts at (509) 758-6849.

Aging is a natural process and it is normal to feel occasional joint pain or stiffness. But how does one know if the symptoms they are having are normal and related to the aging process or if they may have a different type of arthritis? There are many types of arthritis. Two of the most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common and is also known as agerelated wear and tear of the joints. This means the cartilage that caps the end of the bones is worn away. It usually affects people older than age 50. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the synovial membrane (the lining around the joint) is affected. It becomes inflamed, which causes pain and swelling of the joints. This type of arthritis can occur at any age.

Both share similar characteristics, but each one has different symptoms and requires a different approach to treatment. Osteoarthritis mainly affects the large weightbearing joints such as knees, hips and spine. Onset is slow and progresses over several years. Pain is experienced usually with activity and improves with rest. Stiffness can be present in the morning and after activity, and lasts 30 minutes or less. Rheumatoid arthritis pain usually affects the smaller joints of the hands, wrists and feet (especially pain in the balls of the feet). Onset is rapid and can vary from six weeks to 12 months. Stiffness is present in the morning and after a long period of inactivity. It can last for an hour or longer before improving. Symptoms are usually symmetrical (affecting both sides of the body) compared to osteoarthritis, which is usually asymmetrical and limited to one set of joints.

Moving an elderly parent to live nearby: Common and complicated By Barbara Brotman Chicago Tribune

A friend is in the middle of the tense logistics of moving his elderly and ill father up from Florida to be near him. We talked about it — the process, the complexity, the inevitability — because I did the same with my mother. And after the conversation, I found myself revisiting the experience. It is one widely shared. My mother’s senior citizens’ residence is filled with people who moved there to be closer to their children. Several are parents of my friends. But it isn’t an easy move. And the word “move” doesn’t seem quite right. It didn’t feel

like a move to me; it felt like an evacuation. My mother lived alone in New York; I am her only family. We had talked about what to do if she became unable to live alone. We had visited several assisted living facilities there and never taken it further. But move to Chicago? She was a lifelong and fervent New Yorker. She wasn’t interested. Until she fell, broke her shoulder and had to stay in a rehab facility for three months. Where no matter how many weekends I flew in to visit, she was virtually alone. And that was that. She could love New York all she wanted, but we both knew she had to move to Chicago. And she had

to move immediately. I was desperate to fly her out before another medical emergency. What if she fell again or became too ill to travel? I pictured her trapped in a New York nursing home, with me trying to coordinate her care long distance. We sold the apartment, I packed up her belongings and within weeks, she and I were on a plane. At age 93, she left New York. Another friend remembers the same urgency. Her mother lived in Kansas City and was losing her ability to speak due to primary progressive aphasia and starting to develop dementia. Her mother had come to Chicago a few times to visit assisted living facilities, but had turned them down. When her mother started falling repeatedly and having trouble using an ATM, my girlfriend and her two brothers had

a conference call. Their mother was no longer safe in Kansas City, she said. Her brothers agreed, one suggesting they think about getting her out in the spring, some six months later. “I said, ‘Have you not been listening to this conversation? We need her out next weekend,’ ” she said. Within two months, she and her mother were on a plane to Chicago. Yet another friend also felt the rush to move her mother closer. But she saw the other side of the parental move — the parent who refuses to make it. Her mother, a widow, is determined to stay in her Bay Area home. Despite multiple health problems, frequent falls and broken bones, she has so far rejected her three children’s urgings she move to Arizona, where my friend’s sister lives. The siblings got her to move into an assisted living facility,

but their mother has been turning down many of the care services it provides and has been hospitalized repeatedly. “It’s just very challenging,” she said. And so the parental move possibilities play out in all sorts of ways. There are no easy answers, no matter how common the question. My mother mostly made her peace with her move here, where she is surrounded by lovely people in an apartment a few minutes from my house. Still, she mourned the life she left behind. She has confided as much to my daughters — but never to me because, as one of them said, “she didn’t want to hurt your feelings.” It was a kindness on top of the one she had already done for me by moving here. She is 101 years old now; the thought of her living in New York is inconceivable.

A Golden Opportunity for Fitness Use your age as a reason to exercise, as opposed to an excuse not to. George Burns (who lived to be 100) used to say, “If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!” It’s true that some individuals are blessed with good genes, and no matter how many unhealthy lifestyle habits they have, they’re going to live into old age. But for the rest of us who might be concerned with quality of life as we age, exercise is one of the keys. Is it ever too late to start? Research proves it’s not. Exercise and fitness is not just for the young, there are countless studies that show the numerous benefits of a regular exercise routine for people of all ages, including seniors. Many communities now have athletic programming geared exclusively for those enjoying their golden years, and programming for seniors is a growing trend in health and fitness. There is often a misconception that gyms are for younger adults, bench pressing like maniacs, or running mile after mile on the treadmill, this however is not the case. Seniors can get just as effective a workout using weights and cardio equipment, simply by adjusting the speed, weight, and intensity to best meet their needs. Adcope Athletic Club is a perfect example. With over 22,00 square feet this health club boasts a diverse population of members, and has an equally diverse array of fitness equipment to use. The cardio room boasts treadmills, stairmasters, elliptical trainers (which are much easier on the knees than treadmills), and recumbent stationary bikes (which put less stress on the lower back than traditional stationary bikes). The machine weight room is fully equipped with over 25 different weight machines that work every muscle group, many of which ensure that you maintain proper posture throughout the entire exercise to avoid unnecessary stress on the joints. Their saltwater pool is kept at a comfortable eightyfour degrees and is perfect for lap swimming or aquatic exercise without that annoying chlorine smell. In addition to facilities and equipment that are inclusive to exercisers of all ages, Adcope also has group fitness classes specifically with seniors in mind. Aqua Aerobics is an excellent workout with virtually no impact on bones and joints. While classes like Pool Power, Aqua Fit, and Aqua Zumba offer a higher intensity cardiovascular workout, Gentle Moves is specifically geared on exercises that focus on improving muscle tone, strength, and range of movement, all in a weightless environment. If you’re not a big fan getting in your bathing suit outside of tropical vacations, Adcope has you covered, on dry land as well. Classes like Pilates and Yoga, are great fitness class options for Seniors. Yoga isn’t just for the young and limber. Many elderly individuals are turned off by yoga because they think they

many will not be able to do many of the poses fully, thatt the theyy will not experience the bene benefi fits of it. What they don’t realize ealize is that yoga is noncompetitive, and poses can be modified to meet each person’s individual needs. You may never be able to bend yourself into a pretzel, but you can still experience the benefits of yoga. Pilates is generally appropriate for senior fitness, and it is gaining popularity among senior citizens. The ability to modify exercises to meet differing needs, along with the many benefits of the Pilates method, such as increased levels of strength, balance, flexibility, muscle tone, stamina, and well being, make Pilates an inviting senior exercise program. In addition to classes that can be modified for senior participants Adcope also has classes that are specifically intended for seniors. Fit and Fall proof, is a class administered by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and is designed to help senior citizens prevent injuries and the subsequent loss of independence. Class participants learn simple exercises to increase strength, balance and endurance, which can help prevent the

accidental falls and tripping sometimes associated with age. Silver Fitness is a great general workout class that mixes 20 minutes of gentle cardio exercises and 20 minutes of strength training.

Zumba Z summer, ttakes the popular Latin-dance inspired workout of Zumba and makes it accessible for seniors, beginners or others needing se modifi mod cations in their exercise routine. Zumba Gold builds cardiovascular health Zu by challenging the heart and working the b muscles of the hips, legs and arms with m dance moves. One final misconception that keeps seniors from maintaining healthy lifestyles is a financial one, when living on a fixed income “extra” expenses like a gym membership can seem unrealistic. g The fact is that many seniors have access T to gym memberships through insurance programs like Silver Sneakers, which provide prog gym at no cost to the subscriber gym memberships m as part o of their insurance coverage. Additionally Idaho has programs that provide assistance Idaho Medicaid Medic to qualifying individuals who would benefit from a more active lifestyle. Adcope participates in Silver & Fit which is available to Sterling Insurance and Blue Cross customers, Silver Sneakers which is available to Regence customers, and is an Idaho Medicaid approved health club. Even if you’re not a customer with one of the aforementioned insurance companies, or enrolled in Medicaid, Adcope offers a special rate of just $30 per month and waives the $99 joining fee for members over 60 years of age. If you want to enjoy your gym experience with a spouse it’s just $20 more per month. If you are older and currently weighing whether or not to start an exercise plan of your own, please use your age as a reason to exercise, as opposed to an excuse not to. If others can do it, there’s a good chance you will be able to too. The more active you are, and the wider the range of activities you do, the more mobile, independent and, likely, happy you will be as you get older One final tip, make sure you engage in activities you enjoy. There was one common thread among elderly; they absolutely love the activities they’ve found to do. Even if some of it is hard, the happiness they get from it always outweighs the tedium.” 448696FA_15
