WASHINGTON, D.C. | Flora Yang is small, spry and not afraid to tell you her age: “90-something.”

She walks twice a week at Mazza Gallerie in Northwest Washington, D.C., and says mall walking keeps her young and fit.

Health officials are starting to notice that effect too and say more malls should open their doors to walkers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has put out a guide saying the mall is a perfect place for seniors to get in their steps.

It’s no secret that getting up and moving makes people healthier and reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. But unpredictable weather and unsafe streets sometimes get in the way, especially for seniors.

That’s where shopping malls come in.

Mall walking began decades ago, when heart doctors began recommending it to their patients, said Basia Belza, a professor at the University of Washington’s nursing school. She estimates that hundreds of programs exist around the country, but they aren’t widely known.

“They are the best-kept secret,” Belza said.

The CDC’s resource guide, for malls, released last year, encourages malls to expand walking clubs and set up new ones. The guide, coauthored by Belza, said indoor shopping centers are ideal for walking because their level surfaces make seniors less likely to slip and fall.

do that, not if I can help it.”

A somewhat open question is whether bridge jobs are truly bridges to retirement or just another job change, perhaps one of many, in a seemingly unending working career.

“I don’t want to be too Pollyannaish about bridge jobs because part of this is likely a reaction to the erosion of retirement security in the U.S.,” says Monique Morrissey, an economist with Economic Policy Institute, a Washingtonbased think tank with ties to organized labor.

Morrissey says older Americans are facing a gradual erosion of retirement benefits.

Specifically, she points to the transition to 401(k)s over definedbenefit pensions, as well as the eventual increase in the retirement age up to 67, a move she says amounts to an “across-the-board cut in benefits.”

The fact that bridge jobs occupy an increasing portion of the labor force suggests that wage income is an increasingly important part of retirement planning for many seniors.

The traditional model of a retirement income is a “three-legged stool,” composed of Social Security, pensions and savings. However an analysis of census data by the Social Security Administration found that since the mid1980s, earnings as percentage of income has

more than doubled and is still rising (for people 65 and older).

Gloria Adamson, 81, says she never planned to be working this late in life. “I simply have to work,” she says.

“Retirement isn’t even in the picture, to tell you the truth.”

To cover her bills, Adamson started working as an adjunct professor in the Colorado community college system 13 years ago.

According to a 2014 congressional report, most adjuncts receive no benefits, and often earn a fraction of what tenure-track faculty make. Therefore,

Adamson says she was never able to build up much savings, or make adequate contributions to her pension.

For the past year she has worked full-time teaching writing and rhetoric to freshmen at the University of Colorado in Boulder, a job with better pay and benefits than what she got at the community college. She teaches three classes in addition to spending 10 hours a week tutoring students at the campus writing center.

Still, Adamson says doesn’t feel cheated out of her retirement.

“I leaned a trick some

time ago, that if I make my work important enough to me, I won’t have a lot of time to do other things,” she says, with a slight smile.

“I figure by the time I’m 100 I will be in better shape financially . I might think about retiring then.”

Working

90-year-old has no plans to leave job she’s had for 70 years

BY KRISTIN J. BENDER Associated Press‌

SAN FRANCISCO | Talk about a loyal employee: Elena Griffing has just celebrated her 70th year working for the same San Francisco Bay Area hospital, and she has no plans to retire anytime soon.

Sutter Health Alta Bates Summit Medical Center has marked Griffing’s milestone and her recent 90th birthday, spokeswoman Carolyn Kemp said. But for Griffing, who has held several different positions in her decades of employment, every day on the job is a celebration.

“I can’t wait to come to work every day, this is my hospital,” she said. “I enjoy anything I can do to be of service. Truly, it’s the patient that counts.

If it’s helping someone, it’s my bag.”

She isn’t kidding.

As if her employment longevity wasn’t enough, consider this: She has taken only four days of sick leave in her 70 years of work.

On a Sunday about 15 years ago, she had her appendix removed at the Berkeley facility. The following day, she put on her robe, walked one floor down from her hospital room and got to work.

“It was no big deal,” she said.

“There was nothing wrong with my hands, I could still type and do what I had to do.”

But when the doctor got wind, he sent her home.

Griffing’s first day on the job was April 10, 1946, when she was 20. Back then, the facility was called Alta Bates Community Hospital.

She worked there with founder and nurse Alta Alice Miner Bates. In her early years when Bates saw Griffing in the halls of the hospital, she told her to stop wearing her signature 3-inch heels because she might fall and probably would sue the hospital.

She has done neither.

“I always got that shaking finger at me, and I was always shaking in my boots when I saw her,” she said.

She says she only wears 2 1/2-inch heels now.

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME

Jeff Chiu, Associated Press

Patient relations representative Elena Griffing smiles at Sutter Health Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley, California. Griffing, 90, has started her 70th year working for the same San Francisco Bay Area hospital.

Her first job in the hospital was in the laboratory where frogs and rabbits were injected with a woman’s urine to determine if she was pregnant. Griffing was the right-hand woman to the pathologist and quickly became an expert at catheterizing frogs.

She also worked with an endocrinologist for 10 years and in the Alta Bates Burn Center for an additional 22 years.

She currently works in patient relations four days a week.

“I don’t feel any differently than I did when I was 20. I am truly so lucky,” she said.But times have changed since her first day on the job, when the average wage was $2,500 a year and a gallon of gas cost 15 cents.

“When I started here, I thought I was making such a lot of money, but I think I was making about $120 a month,” she said.

She makes enough money now to live a comfortable life in nearby Orinda, enjoying gardening, jazz and coming to work. If she has her way, she’ll keep working “until they throw me out or they carry me out in a box.”

Harry S. Truman Museum tells story of 33rd U.S. president

By TERRY TURNER‌

I

NDEPENDENCE, Mo. | William Shakespeare once wrote, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” It can be said that our 33rd president, Harry S. Truman, had greatness thrust upon him.

Truman had only been vice president for 82 days when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died suddenly on April 12, 1945, instantly making Truman president of the United States. But within six months Truman was able to announce Germany’s surrender and later end WWII with the surrender of Japan after making the tough decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Truman also signed the charter ratifying the United Nations during his first six months in office.

The Harry S. Truman Library and Museum tells the story of the feisty president who was famous for such statements as “The buck stops here” and “You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.”

Harry S. Truman was born on a farm in Independence, Missouri, on May 8, 1884, the first of three children born to John and Martha Truman. Harry’s parents couldn’t decide on a middle name for their child so they simply used the letter “S” as a tribute to both his maternal grandfather, Solomon Young, and his paternal grandfather, Anderson Shipp Truman.

After high school Truman held a variety of jobs and then returned to farming and also joined the Army National Guard. He helped organize his National Guard regiment and ultimately volunteered for duty when WWI broke out, even though he was two years older than the age limit for the draft and also eligible for exemption as a farmer. His unit was called into duty with the 129th Field Artillery. After his arrival in France Truman was promoted to captain and led his men through

heavy fighting during the MeuseArgonne campaign. After the war Truman returned home and married his childhood sweetheart, Elizabeth “Bess” Wallace, in 1919. They had one daughter, Mary Margaret.

His first business venture ended in failure when he and partner Eddie Jacobson set up a hat shop in Kansas City. America was in an economic downturn and the shop failed, leav-

ing Truman with a $20,000 debt. He refused to claim bankruptcy and insisted on paying back his creditors even though it took more than 15 years.

It was about this time Democratic boss Thomas Pendergast, whose nephew James served with Truman during the war, contacted Truman and later appointed him overseer of highways. Pendergast then chose

him to run for one of three county judge positions in Jackson County.

He was defeated when he ran for reelection but ran again in 1926 as a presiding judge, a position he held until he ran for senator. Truman was elected to the United States Senate in 1934.

While serving on the Senate Appropriations Committee Truman began investigating railroads, and

in 1940 he initiated legislation that imposed tighter federal regulation on the railroads. This helped him establish a reputation as a man of integrity.

By the time Truman was up for reelection in 1940 Pendergast had been convicted of tax evasion and was associated with voter fraud.

Truman never tried to hide his association with Pendergast and earned a reputation as a forthright and ethical man. He won the election but narrowly.

His chairmanship of a special committee to investigate the National Defense Program to prevent war profiteering and wasteful spending in defense industries caught the attention of colleagues and President Roosevelt. When Roosevelt went looking for a vice presidential running mate for the 1944 election he chose Truman. Roosevelt and Truman were elected in November 1944 and they took the oath of office on Jan. 20, 1945. Just 82 days later Roosevelt died of a massive stroke and Truman was sworn in as president on April 12, 1945.

After ending WWII Truman was faced with another crisis when the North Korean Army invaded the South in June 1950. He quickly committed U.S. troops to the escalating conflict because he firmly believed the invasion of South Korea was a challenge from the Soviet Union and if left unchecked would lead to WWIII. The fighting ended in July 27, 1953, but as recent events have

Terry’s Turn

The Lone Ranger, then and now, works I watched the 2013 movie “The Lone Ranger” starring Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp the other night. I’ve seen it three or four times and unlike the critics I love it. I read recently that some of the critics who panned the movie did so before they even saw it. And in a way I can understand that. The Lone Ranger story is a classic and you don’t mess with a classic. But I still love this latest version.

I remember watching the original “Lone Ranger” on black and white TV Terry Turner back in the ’50s. turnert185@outlook.com It stared Clayton Moore as the Lone Ranger and Jay Silverheels as Tonto. I read recently that Silverheels was a Mohawk from Canada. In my humble opinion he was one of those unsung heroes of ’50s television.

He managed to convey a lot of

drama with the few lines he was given. And most of those lines were just grunts and pigeon English words.

Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the Lone Ranger’s Indian friend was much different than the original.

For one thing he didn’t seem to care much for the Lone Ranger and even whacked him on the head a couple of times.

As with many dramas the most interesting character in a story is the villain and the latest Lone Ranger movie has a doozy. Butch Cavendish is a ruthless killer who, as Tonto puts it, “has a taste for human flesh.” When I watched this latest movie, the villain’s name sounded familiar. It turns out Butch Cavendish was also a villain in the TV series plus a number of other movies. I’ll have to admit it is a cool name for a bad guy.

The actor who played Cavendish in the latest movie was William Fichtner. His character was the epitome of evil and with his scarred face he sure looked the part. I wanted to know more about

Fichtner and I looked him up online. He’s not a bad looking guy.

Amazing what they can do with makeup.

As kids we would play Lone Ranger and Tonto after watching them on TV. I can’t imagine kids today doing that. For one thing the latest movie is very violent as is the case with most westerns today.

In an old TV western the hero would shoot the gun out of the bad guy’s hand but in the new movies they shoot them everywhere but the hand.

So even though I like the new version of the Lone Ranger I’ll always have a special place in my heart for the old TV version. And I’m sure those of us who grew up watching Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels ride across the range righting wrongs will always love that version best. And not only that, it’s impossible for us not to think of the Lone Ranger each time we hear the fourth movement of the William Tell Overture.
