Q: Can I apply online for retirement benefits?

A: Yes. It’s quick and easy. Apply online and save yourself a trip to the office. Once you submit your online application electronically, in most cases, you’re done. There are no forms

to sign or documents to send in. If we do need more information to process your application, a representative will contact you. For more information about applying online, visit our web-site at www.socialsecurity.gov or call us toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

Q: If both my spouse and I

are entitled to Social Security benefits, is there any reduction in our payments because we are married?

A: No. We independently calculate each spouse’s Social Security benefit amount. Each spouse receives a monthly ben-efit amount based on his or her own earnings. Couples are not penalized simply because they are married. If one member of the couple earned low wages or did not earn enough Social Security credits to be eligible for retirement benefits, he or she may be eligible to receive benefits as a spouse.

This column was prepared by the Social Security Administration. For fast answers to specific Social Security questions, contact Social Security toll-free at 800-772-1213.

New program focuses on nonmedical needs

Opportunities Unlimited Inc. has a new program, Choices Care Services, to assist with nonmedical needs.

OU caregivers are receiving specialized training to become certified companion care aides.

Caregivers will make it possible for individuals who are elderly, disabled, or those recovering from surgery or illness so that they can remain in their own home.

Caregivers can help in the following ways: meal prepa-ration, grocery shopping and other errands, companionship,

transportation and assistance at health care appointments, light housekeeping, laundry, bathing assistance, medication reminders, safety oversight, provide primary caregiver breaks, change ceiling light bulbs, assist with holiday bak-ing or decorating, and other minor activities.

OU caregivers can provide assistance for as few as two hours per week up to constant care. The program also offers daytime care in the Lewiston, Moscow and Grangeville cen-ters, complete with adult enrich-ment programs. In-home care is provided in Lewiston, Moscow, Grangeville and nearby commu-nities in Idaho and Washington.

OU is currently accepting cli-ents with private pay, insurance and Veterans Administration insurance. They will soon be able to accept Idaho Medicaid. Assessments are free and can be set up by calling Tammy or Sheila at (208) 798-4595 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Those with urgent needs after hours can call (208) 791-8106.

By MARY TATKOOF TARGET PUBLICATIONS

oRoFino — they say everyone recalls what they were doing when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, as if there were a snapshot of the moment in every American’s memory.

For retired lt. Col. marvin (marv) Reed, 81, that snapshot is literal.

in november 1963, Reed, then a flight instructor based at shaw Air Force Base in south Carolina, was in the air for a check flight when the unthink-able happened on the ground in texas. When Reed landed, his crew chief rushed up the ladder to the plane’s cockpit to deliver the shocking news: “the president’s been shot.”

during the flight, another pilot had flown alongside Reed to snap a picture. they were flying reconnaissance planes equipped with high-powered cameras. later, when they reviewed their route, time ticks on the flight map showed the picture was taken at precisely the moment the president was shot. “that was a very poignant moment,” Reed said of learning the significance of the photo’s

timing. He keeps a framed copy at his home in orofino.

Planes and photographs are at the heart of many memories for Reed. they are at the heart of his career. He flew 12 different types of planes during nearly 24 years in the Air Force, but lon-ger than anything else he flew the mcdonnell RF-101 Voodoo, a reconnaissance plane in which he totaled almost 3,000 hours.

the book “Voodoo Warriors: the story of the Voodoo mcdonnell Fast-Jets,” for which Reed helped compile data, details the history of the RF-101. Reed knew the book’s author, nigel Walpole, from their time together at shaw, where Walpole was a U.K. Royal Air Force exchange pilot and Reed was a flight instructor. “i know all these people in here,” Reed said, thumbing through his copy of the book at his dining room table recently.

other mementos spread across the table included a February 1966 newsweek magazine in which a photo he took from his plane was published; a german magazine featuring a photo of Reed on the cover (he was a military flight instructor there); and a copy of the shaw AFB newsletter from oct. 31, 1958,

with an article announcing Reed’s selection as that month’s “one-o-Wonder” in recognition of his actions safely landing a plane after both engines flamed out.

Reed was born in Wisconsin and grew up in Bremerton, Wash., where he graduated from Bremerton High school. small but tough (his official height in the Air Force was 5 feet, 6 inch-es), he was a boxer and second-team linebacker and defensive guard on the school’s storied 1947 state-champion football team.

A fascination with birds that started in childhood — he remembers putting together his own bird book when he was about 10 years old — led him to his course of study at the state College of Washington (now Washington state University), where he worked at the Charles R. Conner museum from his freshman year in 1948 until he graduated in 1952 with a degree in wildlife management. Reed recently toured the museum in Pullman, where several exam-ples of his taxidermy work are still on display.

students at the land-grant university were required to par-ticipate in the Reserve officers’

training Corps, so Reed also spent his first two years at the college fulfilling that obligation, which held no appeal for him at the time. “i didn’t like the mili-tary crap, see,” he explained.

But when he graduated and knew he was about to be draft-ed, Reed took a cue from his fiancee’s brother-in-law who

was an instructor pilot in the Air Force. Reed hitchhiked to spokane and caught a train to California, where he qualified for pilot training at an air sta-tion there. “that was the way

I decided to go,” he said. “The Korean War was one of the best things that ever happened to me, probably.”

Aviation cadet training lasted 15 months, and the cadets had to be single. Ultimately, Reed said, that spelled the end of his engagement. His life was headed in another direction.

After completing aviation cadet school, Reed went to gun-nery school at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, where he flew F-84G Thunderjets. He was there in 1953 when the Korean War ended. In 1954, he was assigned to Shaw AFB for the first time, where he flew the RB-57, a reconnaissance plane.

Reed served the next three-and-a-half years, from 1955 to 1958, as an instructor pilot in Germany, first with NATO pilots, then training German pilots in the F-84F Thunderchief, a fighter plane. In 1958, he was reassigned to Shaw, to the RF-101 Voodoo program. “Boy, was I one happy guy,” he said. “ ’Cause that was one hot air-plane.”

Reed was “just shy of 30” when he got married in South Carolina in April 1960. “I was tired of being a bachelor,” he said. Shortly thereafter, he was assigned to Okinawa, Japan, where he spent three years with the 15th Tactical Reconnaissance

Squadron and where his son was born in 1961.

His experience as an instruc-tor in Germany led to his next assignment, a return to Shaw, this time to the 4414th Tac Recon Squadron, a training squadron, where for 14 months he was a Voodoo flight instructor.

Being a reconnaissance pilot was “one hell of a hectic life,” Reed said. “Every time some-thing happened in the world, what they wanted was pictures.” It didn’t leave much time for family. “Sort of like what’s going on now with Iraq and Afghanistan.”

In November 1964, he was reassigned to Misawa AFB in Japan, this time with the 45th Tac Recon Squadron (nick-named “Polka Dots”). That’s where he was when the United States began air raids on North Vietnam. The 45th moved to Saigon in March 1965 and began combat sorties. Reed’s job during the war was recon-naissance, flying the nimble RF-101s, eventually completing 330 missions.

On July 25, 1965, Reed was in the air over North Vietnam with the first planes were shot down by surface-to-air missiles. “I remember that day well,” he said, recounting the incident. The mission had been stalled by bad weather, and Reed and his wingman were circling in the clouds at 18,000 feet waiting to resume. Orbiting above them at around 20,000 feet were F4 fighters, which were hit by the missles.

Three days later, the RF-101s began flying missions to pho-tograph missile sites in what “Voodoo Warriors” author Nigel Walpole describes as “The Great SAM Hunt.” The reconnais-sance planes were ordered to fly low because of fears they’d be easy targets for the missiles at medium altitude, but at that

height the automatic weapons were worse than missiles, Reed said. “The Voodoo had no arma-ment,” he explained. “All we had is speed.”

Thirty-nine RF-101s were shot down in Vietnam. “One third of my squadron was shot down in the first six months of the war,” Reed said. “They just shot the heck out of us.”

Not just for the pilots, but for the families back home, those numbers translated into losing friends and neighbors, and the intense stress that came with that grief and uncertainty took a toll on Reed’s marriage.

In February 1966, he flew his 100th mission over North Vietnam, the flight that meant he could go home. “I was the first one in my squadron to do that, to get 100,” he said. “I never got hit one time. I never had a wingman that got hit.” But when he returned to his chosen base in Hawaii his wife did not join him.

In 1967, Reed returned to Vietnam, where he was the technical adviser for an award-winning Robert Stack-narrated documentary film about tacti-

cal reconnaissance in Southeast Asia, produced by the Air Force, called “Alone, Unarmed and Unafraid.” The film is avail-able on DVD, from the military, Reed said.

His last assignment was in Reno, Nev., where Reed was an Air Force adviser to the Nevada National Guard from 1971 until he retired in 1975. He took the assignment knowing it meant he would not be promoted to colonel but satisfied to be flying his favorite plane a little longer. “I got to fly RF-101s ’til the day I retired,” he said. That same year, the Voodoos were retired, too — “sent to the boneyard,” Reed said. The RF-101 had been in use for 17 years.

The Voodoo pilots have had a reunion every year since the mid-1990s, and Reed tries to attend each one. This year’s was in Kitty Hawk, N.C.; next year it’s in Seattle. There are about 100 Voodoo pilots left, Reed said, and gathering to reminisce with them is something he looks forward to. “They say there’s not a party unless Marv Reed shows

up,” he said. One of the reunions was in Washington, D.C., where Reed made his only visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. “A bunch of my friends have their name on that wall,” he said.

Reed moved to Orofino in 1993 after selling a picture-framing business he’d operat-ed in Boise after his Air Force retirement. He has raised dogs all his life, and his current canine, a border collie named Maggie, is eager to greet visi-tors at the door. Various wildlife mounts and model planes adorn the walls and shelves of the spacious home he and Maggie share.

He’s had a pacemaker for 31 years, a fact he said is like-ly related to “pulling Gs” for so many years as a pilot and instructor, and which keeps him from flying. He does, however, have another way to indulge his love of speed.

“Us old fighter pilots we’ve got to be driving something like

Puzzle on Page 19

Yes, there are still people who plan to retire. And there are still those who do retire. Ordinary people who aren’t Hollywood entertainers, bank-ers or public sector employ-ees.

Ah, but are they happy in their new lifestyle of leisure, leisurely pursuits and more leisure? More specifically, which gender enjoys retirement more: Men or women?

Remember, the baby boom-ers — who are edging toward retirement — are the first generation where both men and women worked outside the home and earned retire-ment money and benefits.

Both feel the right to retire in the style to which they want to be accustomed.

And that, say psychologists for both men and women, explains why the divorce rate is declining for all age groups except the 60-plus crowd. Right now, Al and Tipper Gore are the couple du jour in that arena, but they aren’t alone. One couple who were 98 com-plained about incompatibility when they split.

All the result of women becoming economically inde-pendent? Does that matter? I didn’t say I have the answer. Maybe you do.

Or a reader (who asked to be anonymous) who asks:

“What happens to men who retire and cannot be budged out of the recliner?

“Women friends of mine, having seen the kids off on their own, cared for elderly

relatives, retired from a job, see at long last their chance to experience a bit of life that has not been possible to date. Travel beckons! Time to learn a new skill or take

up dancing, yoga, dinner out! They are so tired of the domestic routine that they could scream, but they can’t get the husband interested in anything. The TV blares all day while their husbands sleep.”

“I have started going to concerts, museums, etc. on my own. Recently I went on a brief trip with a large group. There was a nice older man — travelling alone — and I

noticed how much he was enjoying himself and how much we seemed to have in common. It was so nice, but I felt a bit of betrayal, though I did not disguise that I was married.”

“What are we missing about these men?”

My answer: Maybe we aren’t missing anything.

that. It’s the closest we come to flying,” he said, glancing at the gleaming, cherry-red sports car in his driveway. “You can’t get airborne anymore. But close to it.”

Reed has been driving fast cars for decades, starting in 1956 when he ordered his first Porsche from the factory. He drove four Porsches over the years, selling his last one in 2003. He bought his first Subaru in 1995 and has since owned 10, including his latest, “the red rocket,” a 2011 Impreza WRX STi complete with spoiler emblazoned with the WSU logo. “I’m a good friend of all the police officers,” he said. “But I’m a careful driver.”

Early in life, Reed was influ-enced by the writings of the famed hunter and outdoorsman Jack O’Connor. “He was my hero when I was in high school,” he said, noting his fascination with O’Connor got him inter-ested in the .270 rifle for which

O’Connor was famous.A neurological disorder pre-

vents him from hunting, but Reed’s interest in wildlife and the outdoors continues. “I’m

an ornithologist,” he said,

explaining his love for wings isn’t limited to airplanes. He’s a member of the Palouse Audubon Society and occasionally gets calls from an Orofino veterinar-ian when someone brings in an injured bird to be identified. “They call me the bird man of Orofino,” he said.

Two mornings a week, Reed plays at the Lewis-Clark State College tennis center, something he’s been doing since 1995. He’s impressed with the broad appeal of the center, where seniors, young people and a culturally diverse LCSC tennis team gath-er to practice the sport. Two other mornings are dedicated to physical therapy.

Reed’s son lives in Ohio with his wife and 8-year-old boy, Reed’s only grandchild. Reed describes him as a voracious reader who is active in sports. Asked if the child has shown an interest in his grandfather’s military career, Reed said “No.” But he does have an interest in ornithology, Reed said, marvel-ing at how well his grandson can remember the long, complex scientific names of birds.

Tribune/Steve HanksMarv reed fondly tells the story of a life well lived with

plenty of adventures to keep him entertained.

“Everytime some-thing happened in the world, what they wanted was pic-tures.”

How short? Twenty minutes, three times a week. But even less at first.

For those of us who are, shall we say, exercise averse, this is magical.

Federal guidelines advise Americans age 18 to 64 to get 2½ hours a week of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity.

Frank Comstock, Tucson, Ariz., doctor and author of the book “Antiaging 101,” special-izes in wellness and anti-aging. He insists that all it takes to truly be fit is an hour a week. So why not start there? Anything is bet-ter than nothing!

You’ll also be happy to hear Comstock say, “If I’m out of shape, the last place I would go is a gym. You see all these machines, and you see these guys walking around. You don’t know what you’re doing. The key is to find something you like.”

So, how does this 20-min-ute workout do the job? It’s

all about “interval training,” he says, which means short bursts of higher-intensity aerobics, then returning to shorter periods of lower intensity. For instance, walk at a normal pace for two minutes than as fast as you

can for 20 or 30 seconds. Then repeat. Gradually increase the fast bursts and decrease the slow ones.

Comstock recommends:l Find the exercise that is

least objectionable, like walking, swimming, jump rope, jumping jacks, doing squats.l If you’re just beginning,

pick a shorter time — even 5 minutes twice a week — then build up slowly.l Don’t give up. If you’re

at the 20-minute/three-times-a-week level and just don’t feel like exercising, employ the 10-minute rule. “Start your exercise session and plan on working out for only 10 minutes” that day, he recommends.

If that doesn’t work, “look in the mirror.” Sometimes, Comstock says, that’ll probably be enough to get you back off the couch and into your interval zone again.

When it comes to exercise, start with one hour a week

Another reason to eat your greens

Scientists have discovered that eating green vegetables is

necessary for a properly functioning immune system.

• Immune system cells in the digestive system and the skin called

intra-epithelial lymphocytes, or IELs, are part of the body’s first

line of defense • The number of IELs present

in the body depends on levels of a specfic protein that can be

controlled by ingredients found mainly in green vegetables

• Mice deprived of vegetables lost up to 80 percent of these
