B I R T H DAY S > MARCH 9 Charlotte Smith, 86 Charlotte Smith was born in 1936 in Jerome, Idaho, to Albert and Mary Evans.

She was No. 6 of 10 children.

When Charlotte was 4, the family moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Her father worked at the Naval Base in Farragut, Idaho, at the beginning of World War II. She attended school in Coeur d’Alene and started working in restaurants when she was 16, later working at the Crossroads Café, in Grangeville, then the West Bank restaurant in Clarkston.

She worked at Grants Department Store in the ’60s, holding positions as department manager and advancing to section merchandising.

In 1972, she moved to Clarkston and married Warren “Smitty” Smith. They merged their families of five sons, one daughter, and one grandson from former marriages.

Smitty sold cars in the valley for more than 40 years and he had been a volunteer fire fighter in Clarkston before they met. They lived on Fifth Street in Clarkston for 32 years, then downsized to Sunset Heights in the Clarkston Heights in 2006. They celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2012 with a trip to Hawaii.

Smitty died in 2013.

Pauline Schlader, 90

Lois Mulkey, 90

Pauline Schlader was born in 1932, in Nezperce, and she has lived in the area all her life. She was the third of six children of Leo and Dorothy (Lauby) Fuchs.

Pauline and Orval Schlader were married Feb. 18, 1952, and celebrated 70 years of marriage last month (story is on Page 8). The couple farmed and raised seven children in Nezperce.

In 1997, the couple retired and spent many winters snow-birding in Arizona.

Presently, they reside in Cottonwood, having moved there in 2019.

Pauline enjoys playing cards and games, watching the sporting events of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and visiting with her family, especially her nieces and nephews, whom she loves dearly. During the years spent snow-birding in Arizona, she looked forward to reconnecting with her friends and attending jam sessions and flea markets.

In addition to her children, she has 29 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren.

Lois Mulkey was born Easter Sunday in 1932 at Kremmling, Colo. She moved with her parents to Winchester in 1934 and graduated from Craigmont High School in 1950.

Loise moved to Portland, Ore., in 1953, where she took a job at Aetna, working in various departments for 32 years.

She married Ivan Mulkey on Aug. 24, 1955, in Portland, where they lived and worked for most of their married life. They had no children.

Lois took early retirement in 1986. Ivan retired in 1989, and they started traveling and were snowbirds for six years, spending summers in Craigmont.

In 1994, they settled in Irrigon, Ore., where Lois remained after Ivan’s death in 2010. She moved to Lewiston in 2016 to be close to her brothers. She joined the Banana Belt Fiddlers and really enjoyed playing her guitar. She also loves to knit and play card games.

A public celebration with a jam session will be held later this spring.

‘It takes a lot of glue and gum’ Cottonwood couple marvel, looking back on 70 years of marriage

By KATHY HEDBERG FOR GOLDEN TIMES

C

OTTONWOOD — The marriage has lasted 70 years, but when Orval and Pauline Schlader first met all those years ago, it was anything but love at first sight.

He had been raised on the family farm near the now-extinct Camas Prairie town of Russell, about 10 miles north of Nezperce. Not until he was in the eighth grade and the family moved to the big city of Nezperce did he get acquainted with other kids his age.

She had lived in or near Nezperce all her life. Also in eighth grade, Pauline said: “I liked boys, and he didn’t seem to be one of them.”

To Orval, Pauline was just one of the kids. There was no spark there. “They were all new to me when I moved in there,” he said.

Orval had grown up working on the family farm and learning all kinds of skills — carpentry, driving big machinery, even bookkeeping.

Pauline’s family lived on the hill on the west side of town and recalls all the kids sliding down that snow-covered slope in the winter and the joy of sitting around big bonfires at the end of the day.

She got a job toward the end of high school as an usher at the town’s movie theater.

“Orval’s best friend was Fred Vogel, so every time I would take somebody

Pauline and Orval Schlader holds hands last month behind a display of anniversary cards at their Cottonwood home. The Schladers celebrated their 70th anniversary Feb. 18, and both will be turning 90 this year.

“We finally decided we were having fun together and we could do that the rest of our lives. Not knowing that God gave us 70 years. It’s unreal.”

PAULINE SCHLADER down the aisle and show them a seat, Fred would say, ‘Ask her now, ask her now, ask her now.’ ” Pauline chuckles at the memory.

“Fred was ready for us to go. So I guess Orval finally decided to go with it.”

Orval and Pauline joined Fred and his girlfriend, Marge, on many adventures and “we finally decided we were having fun together and we could

do that the rest of our lives,” Pauline said. “Not knowing that God gave us 70 years. It’s unreal.”

The couple got married Feb. 18, 1952, in Holy Trinity Parish Catholic Church in Nezperce and a large crowd of friends and family gathered.

“In a place like Nezperce, you know everybody and we were related to most of them,” Orval said. “It’s almost a cinch to GOLDEN TIMES

get a pretty good crowd.”

After the ceremony and the reception, the couple headed toward Clarkston, where family friends had offered to let them spend their wedding night.

Pauline said their mothers had packed their suitcases, which they believed was a good idea because others in the wedding party were trying to play pranks on them.

But when they arrived

in Clarkston and opened their suitcases, “They were full of rice and cereal. We know our mothers wouldn’t do that,” Pauline said with mock surprise.

After a good laugh Orval and Pauline dumped the rice and cereal, changed into their honeymoon clothes and headed to the Oregon Coast, where they planned to spend a few days visiting with her brother and a friend staT U E S D A Y, M A R C H 1 , 2 0 2 2

“People nowadays, they trade partners all the time and they never gain a thing. What’s the use of wasting your time?

Just get somebody and stick with them. ... Nine times out of 10 you’d get somebody else and they wouldn’t be near as good.”

ORVAL SCHLADER tioned at Fort Lewis.

“And then that Orval, he never could not pick up a hitchhiker,” Pauline said.

“Here was a soldier hitchhiking down the road and I said, ‘Orval, don’t pick him up — we don’t know him.’

But he didn’t care; he stopped and he picked him up and I was just scared the whole time.

“But (the soldier) thanked us very much for giving him a ride. And I felt a little guilty,” she said.

The Schladers returned to Nezperce to begin building a home and a family.

Besides farming, Orval did all sorts of jobs, including working with a master carpenter. They built houses, farm outbuildings, kitchen cupboards — creations that Orval said still show the mark of quality.

Pauline got pregnant with her first child, Paul, but a few months later became seriously ill. The doctors believed she was going to die and she began giving away some of her belongings to people she knew.

“I was deathly sick and they didn’t know what to do with me. And the doctors told my parents and Orval’s parents, ‘You go to the chapel and you pray. That is the only thing that is going to save this woman.’ And so they went to the chapel and prayed and I was in intensive care for a week or so.”

She eventually recovered. The couple went on to have six more children and all were in good health.

In later years after Orval and Pauline retired, they began traveling to Arizona for the winters, where they made many friends and had fun playing cards and pool and listening to music.

that 70 years of marriage have passed and both are entering their ninth decades of life.

“I wonder, how much longer can this go on?” Pauline said. “It’s unreal. I just get very angry because I can’t do what I used to do.”

Orval: “She hasn’t forgot how to talk, though.”

“People nowadays,” he went on, “they trade partners all the time and they never gain a thing. What’s the use of wasting your time? Just get somebody and stick with them.”

Pauline: “(It takes) a lot of glue and gum.”

Orval: “Just don’t be greedy. Be satisfied with what you’ve got.”

Pauline: “Unreal.

It’s unreal.”

Orval: “Nine times out of 10 you’d get somebody else and they wouldn’t be near as good.”

Pauline: “We said for better or worse. It wasn’t worse. But it is tiring.

Very tiring.”

“I thought it would be a cold day in hell before I’d stay home from Arizona.

But that cold day came.

And we had to go because our health was not getting good and there was so much for him to drive and pull the trailer down there.

And so we had to sell all that and move home about three years ago.”

The Schladers moved into a condominium next to St. Mary’s Health hospital and clinics in Cottonwood, where they are

closer to their family and enjoy their time visiting with neighbors and watching ball games on TV. Pauline will celebrate her 90th birthday on March 14, and Orval will usher in his 90th on May 15.

Besides their seven children, they have 27 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren. The family gathered for a meal the week before their anniversary and attended Mass, where Orval and Pauline received a special blessing.

Musculoskeletal strength and flexibility testing is important in the justification of physical therapy due to its impact on function.

Screening tests are used frequently in physical therapy but there is limited specific data on indicators for musculoskeletal fitness required to maintain a good quality of life and increase survival.

2002 participants completed a sitting to rising test (SRT) to and from the floor. Results of the study concluded that lower SRT scores were predictive of higher mortality rates and results are statistically significant. They further concluded that a one point increase in the SRT score which is score out of 10 points improved survivability by 21% in this population.

Physical therapy emphasizing proper screening and evaluation can positively influence survival rates. Specific screening tools for function including the Selective Functional Movement Screen can accurately assist in diagnosing movement dysfunction. The test will allow the therapist to focus specifically on the areas of the body that need to be addressed to meet the demands of the sitting to rising test.

Please contact the Institute of Physical therapy with any concerns you have regarding strength to allow us to evaluate and assist you in restoring function.
