Thought for the month “There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.”

— Joseph Brodsky

WHO AM I? I was born Jan. 5, 1931, in San Diego.

My career began in 1951 and I continue to work even today at the age of 84. I have been nominated six times each for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, and have taken home one Oscar and four Golden Globes. I have also won a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Emmy during my 60-plus years in the business.

In 1964, I married Barbara Benjamin and we divorced in 1975. Gail Youngs and I were married in 1982 and our marriage ended four years later. Sharon Brophy and I were married from 1991 until 1996. My present wife, Luciana Pedraza were married in 2005.

Social Security Q&A Tribune news service (Tns)

Q: A few years ago, I lost my Social Security card. Now my credit report shows someone might be using my Social Security number. I’m afraid they might ruin my credit.

What should I do?

A: Identity theft and fraud are serious problems, not just for you, but for the financial integrity of our agency. It also puts our national security at risk if someone dangerous is using your number to obtain other forms of identification.

It’s against the law to use someone else’s Social Security number, give false information when applying for a number, or alter, buy, or sell Social Security cards. Keep in mind, you should never carry your Social Security card with you.

If you think someone is using your Social Security number fraudulently, you should report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) right away.

You can report it at www. idtheft.gov or you can call FTC’s hotline at (877) IDTHEFT (438-4261) [TTY: (866) 6534261].

——— Q: I know someone who believes it’s not a big deal to cheat a little on their Supplemental Security Income application. What can I tell them to dissuade them from giving false information?

A: Social Security not only seeks criminal charges against and imprisonment of people who give false, incomplete or inaccurate information, we also have the authority to impose civil monetary penalties against people who commit fraud. When we find evidence someone provided false information or withheld infor-

mation that would have prevented him or her or someone else from collecting benefits, we can impose a civil monetary penalty of up to $5,000 for each occurrence. We are also authorized to impose administrative sanctions. During a sanction period, benefits stop.

The sanction periods are six months for the first occurrence, 12 months for the second occurrence and 24 months for each additional occurrence.

You can report fraud online at oig.ssa.gov/report or call the Social Security Fraud Hotline at (800) 269-0271.

The family later moved to a ranch near Salmon, Idaho, and in 1965 they sold that ranch and moved to a ranch on Harris Ridge near Kooskia.

Babcock of Clarkston celebrated her 98th birthday on Sunday.

She was born Jan. 4, 1917, in Lincoln, Neb. At age 4, she was already reading from the Bible and had a story written about her for the newspaper when she graduated from high school at age 14.

Babcock and her late husband, Merle, moved to Clarkston in 1999 to be closer to their daughter. Prior to then, they traveled extensively. They were avid motorcycle enthusiasts including racing, hill climbing and vacation trips. When she was 76, the

Retirement doesn’t mean the end of service Many things changed during the 11 years Barbara Bush was director of the WA-ID Volunteer Center, but her dedication was not one of them

By MICHELLE SCHMIDT FOR TARGET PUBLICATIONS

After leading 11 years of growth and change, it’s time for someone else to take over.

Barbara Bush is retiring from her job as the director of the WA-ID Volunteer Center, located in the Lewiston Community Center.

A half hour into the interview, Barbara Bush started stretching, looking around and fidgeting with her coffee mug. She’s not one to sit still for long.

She’d been talking about the things she loves: running, senior games, snooping around, the life that volunteers bring to the community and, as a byproduct, to themselves as well. But now she’s ready for the next thing.

Bush had a long run in business and leadership. Her work career began in her 20s at the Fred Meyer Marketing Department in Portland, Ore., and included time at Valley Commercial Bank, and the Small Business Development Center at Lewis-Clark State College and Tillamook (Ore.) Bay Community College. When the job opened up at the volunteer center, she knew it’d be an inspiring place to work.

And it was.

“It’s one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever done,” Bush said. “It’s because of the people.”

She talked about what the volunteers at the center add to the community. The federal Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and Volunteer Center run through the WA-ID Volunteer Center.

Most of the approximately 500 volunteers are older than 55 — all of the volunteers in the RSVP program are and so are the majority in the Volunteer Center. These volunteers serve in schools, food banks, veteran’s programs and more through nonprofit organizations in seven nearby counties.

Nonprofits benefit immensely from their work, Bush said. When these organizations don’t have to pay personnel, they’re better able to meet their mission.

“When you can leverage services with volunteers, that’s when the magic happens,” she said.

Despite this contribution, Bush sometimes encounters attitudes that belittle older adults and their role in the community. The assumption is unfair and incorrect, she said. Although society tends to focus on what older adults can’t do, the volunteer center focuses on what they can do.

“We are not done yet,” she insisted, speaking for herself and others who are near or past retirement.

Those who visit the volunteer center know they have more to give and are ready to act on it. She cited several cases where widows and widowers have met their next spouse through volunteering. She remembered those who had lost spouses and were tired of being alone and doing nothing. Volunteering

She mentioned three volunteers who came in as “lost, independent souls,” and are now the best of friends who laugh and enjoy life together.

“We get them engaged through volunteering and their life changes,” Bush said.

When Bush started at the center, the program was very entrepreneurial. They would interview prospective volunteers, just as if it was a paid position, to learn their skills and interests. Then the volunteer would be matched to a service opportunity that suited them.

In recent years, however, their requirements as part of a federally funded program have changed.

They now primarily direct volunteers to programs that have been prioritized at a national level. The program’s funding depends on their adherence to these priorities and their documentation of it. Now it is the funding stream, Bush said, rather than a person’s abilities and interests that determines where they are placed.

It’s a change Bush struggled to get behind, not because it isn’t good but because it doesn’t fit her as well.

“I liked my job because it was an open book, when there were blank pages to be written on,” she said.

“Now those pages are filled up.”

It goes without saying, Bush doesn’t like to be told

what to do. Especially not when her way was working well. Some people are made to exercise their creativity to lead and grow organizations, she said, and some lead by taking a well-established organization or system and keeping it going. She’s the former type and the job has changed.

Cathy Robinson, who has worked closely with Bush as the center’s program coordinator, believes Bush’s natural leadership skills allowed the organization to move forward.

“She really oversaw the growth of this place,” Robinson said.

Robinson has worked at the center for six years — first as a volunteer and later moving into her position as program coordinator. Now, she will move into the role of director taking on the tasks of writing and servicing grants, interacting in the community, fundraising, overseeing employees and supervising volunteer management. It’s a job Bush has been grooming her for during the past year or more.

“She saw something in me,” Robinson said. “And I’m appreciative of that.”

Besides her leadership and ability to see potential in others, those Bush worked with use a variety of words to describe her: decisive, friendly, well-connected.

“She’s a people person,” said Alice White, chairperson of the Volunteer Center board. “But she has the

gOlDeN tiMes

intelligence and wherewithal to work.”

Bush worked closely with the board, including them on important decisions and appreciating them as individuals. In turn, the board backed her up when hard things had to be done.

White also recalled a recent time when the budget was tight and Bush took leave without pay so the organization would have enough money to fund the rest of the year.

Linda Vacura, the center’s financial manager, described Bush as a creative problem solver who thinks outside the box.

“I love her enthusiasm,” Vacura said. “And she’s very knowledgeable.”

She’s also impossible to surprise.

“I’m snoopy,” Bush said. “I have an insatiable desire to know what’s going on.”

Which is exactly why Robinson and Vacura were thrilled Bush never caught wind of the retirement party thrown for her. Past celebration efforts — for birthdays or the like — had always been discovered.

“She digs and snoops and looks and asks — it drives her crazy not to know,” Robinson said with a laugh. “She’s a little Sherlock Holmes.”

Bush admitted the event came as a complete surprise and she hadn’t realized the breadth of her impact Tribune/Steve Hanks in the community until people ABOVE: Those who attended Barbara Bush’s retirement came by to tell her how much she party at the Lewiston Community Center wished her well had meant to them. with notes around a photo of her.

Little Sugar My husband and I met a playful Labrador pup the other day, Then a few months later, Sugar had moved away!

We looked forward to our visits.

And know she did as well.

Later on we found a new place to walk.

Another lab, Maxine we met, time does heal!

A friendly lab for sure.

Always ready for a pet ‌ But the memory of our Little Sugar ~ we would never forget!

Through the fence, we pet her soft fur.

Our gentle voice ~ she feels secure!

Then to our surprise ‌ It was just like yesterday ~ Sugar had returned home, When she saw us, was ready to play!

Someday we will have a little pup.

To call our very own.

Our Heavenly Father loves critters too ~ They’re all around his throne!

By faith I look to heaven, my prayers will never cease.

He brings joy and laughter from cares he gives release.

God’s word gives us a promise

a home for us on high, made sure through his son Jesus who made the sacrifice.

On a cruel cross he gave his all that we have eternal life.

Be happy, sing songs of joy.

Praise God and Jesus for all they have done.

Our transgressions are forgiven, heaven will be our home.

Through their unending love, we will never be alone.

The Gratuity

Oh my Red Hat poor thing it’s getting mighty thin.

But I protect it like a mother hen.

I wear it proudly with the rest of the crowd Those I love to be with they are so fun.

Yes, we have only just begun.

Oh how we dance maybe not on the table cause we are not able anymore, but we dance in our mind and in our hearts.

Oh yes!

We think that we are smart, We all wear a red hat.

People love to look at us, as if we just got off a strange bus!

Don’t be afraid of us, we are just Red Hatters!

Love the red hats.

The burger shown on the menu filled an entire plate, Not at all like the scrawny things we’d just ate.

The menu pictured them plump, juicy, steaming hot; Everything the wee things served up to us were not.

I slyly inquired of some disaster in the kitchen.

To which our waitress replied, “Mister, don’t be bitchin’.

Our menus get printed where company cost is least.

You want that burger, you’ll have to go back east.�

Now cleverly I drew a sketch of a five-dollar bill, Drew it so cleverly and presented it at the till.

Thus there evolved, with heated stare and gnarled lip, A dispute over what I thought to be a generous tip. “A doodle on a napkin,� she cried. “What’s that to me?

When I provide good service, I expect a gratuity.�

To which I replied, “$2.40 for coffee and I’m a skinflint?

You want that fiver, the original is in the Denver mint.�

Poetry by Lucille

strong and tough, Matching brawn with rapids rough.

Idaho Netted Gems

March 15, 1920 ~ Nov. 29, 2014 In tribute of Lucille Magnuson’s many years of contributions to Golden Times’ reader poetry. She will be missed and so will her poetry.

Brilliant crystals sparkle on the eaves; Snowflakes flutter past the frosty window panes.

Sunlight reflects on icicles Frozen into pointed pendants.

Rhinestones cannot compete With the flashing panorama, As winter brings a dazzling array Of nature’s coldest jeweled display.

Emerald Trees Enhanced with topaz Tall pines, rich firs, huge cedars, Standing ancient sentinels, Offer serenity’s cool shade.

Forested hills, valleys green, green Protect peace of mind Sheltering wild creatures.

Tamarack with fall’s yellow Accentuates darkest limbs With golden topaz splashes Brightening the forest.

Rushing past the wanigan boat; Dangerous log jams exciting, Waiting for dynamiting.

There were descending watered chutes, Sluices sloshing logs to loaders; Challenging sweaty sawyer brutes And mighty trucks with roaring motors.

No more do river drives go – just mem’ries of the long bateau And the river rats

Famous wherever I go — the big Idaho baked potato Its superb flavor Careful connoisseurs favor; Grown for the discriminating – marked with a number one rating.

Bluebirds Zooming and skimming, they whiz past the back door.

Whirring excitedly, they peek and explore.

Seeking the little birdhouse they filled before.

We greet them gladly as they return once more.

We all watch eagerly

On Clearwater River Wooden matches in the raw Huge logs into the deep are swept, Where lumberjacks with peaveys kept Hopping nimbly, a rolling dance; Only the bravest took a chance.

Round and slippery trees afloat,

Vocal Bell Tones Silver sounds of love songs

send jeweled notes on high, Harmonizing in clear throats, Humming in the sky.

Chiming carillon on campus sends ancient hymns across town, While sweet voices enthrall listening throngs at sundown, As Sweet Adelines rehearse in four-part barbershop style.

Dr. Hugh F. Haegelin

fied in 1978.

Global eradication is possible because of several factors: 1. Human beings are the only known reservoir.

2. No asymptomatic carrier is known to exist.

3. An effective vaccine is available.

4. Vaccination prevents or modifies the disease.

The vaccine is a live vaccinia virus (Smallpox, variola vaccinia, is related to Cowpox).

Global eradication of Smallpox was declared in 1980.

Virus stocks are strictly recorded and restricted. Russia is reputed to have large stocks of a weaponized and possibly altered Smallpox virus. Smallpox was recorded to have been used as a weapon at the siege of Fort Pitt utilizing infected blankets.
