Q: What’s the average monthly Social Security benefit for a retired worker?
A: The current average monthly Social Security benefit for a retired worker is about $1,164. Social Security benefits are based on earnings averaged over most of a worker’s lifetime. To learn more about how retire-ment benefits are calculated, or to get an immediate and person-alized estimate based on your earnings record, visit us online at www.socialsecurity.gov.
Q: What is “full retirement age” and what happens if I apply for Social Security ben-efits before then?
A: Full retirement age is the age when you are eligible to receive Social Security retire-ment benefits without a reduc-tion in your benefits. If you were born before 1938, your full retirement age is 65. If you were born in 1938 or after, your full retirement age will be higher, depending on the year you were born. You can find
your full retirement age at www.socialsecurity.gov/retire2/retire-chart.htm.
If you decide to apply for retirement benefits before your full retirement age (as early as age 62), your benefits will be reduced. For example, here’s how it would work if your full retirement age is 66:
If you start your retirement benefits at age 62, your monthly benefit amount is reduced by about 25 percent. The reduction for starting benefits at age:
63 is about 20 percent;64 is about 13.3 percent; and65 is about 6.7 percent.
Q: I am nearing my full retirement age, but I plan to keep working after I apply for Social Security benefits. Will my benefits be reduced because of my income?
A: No. If you apply for benefits once you’ve reached your full retirement age, you can work while you receive Social Security and your cur-rent benefit will not be reduced because of the earned income. If you keep working, it could mean a higher benefit for you in
the future. Higher benefits can be important to you later in life and increase the future benefit amounts your survivors could receive. If you receive benefits before your full retirement age, your earnings could reduce your monthly benefit amount. After you reach full retire-ment age, we recalculate your benefit amount to leave out the months when we reduced or withheld benefits due to your
excess earnings. You can learn more by reading our publica-tion, How Work Affects Your Benefits, at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10069.html.
Q: How does Social Security decide if I am disabled?
A: For an adult to be consid-ered disabled, Social Security must determine that you are unable to do the work you did before and unable to adjust to
any other work which exists in significant numbers in the national economy. Also, your disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year or to result in death. Social Security pays only for total dis-ability.
No benefits are payable for partial disability or short-term disability (less than a year). For more information, we rec-ommend you read Disability Benefits (SSA Publication No. 05-10029).

Senior runners stay focused on sport they’ve pusued for decades
By Mary TaTkoOf TargeT PublicaTiOns
As Clarkston resident John VanderSchalie approaches his 65th birthday later this month, he admits he’s slowing down.
Of course, every-thing is relative. Now, instead of focusing on how fast he can com-plete a marathon, he’s training for “longer, slower, more relaxed paced events” of 30 to 50 miles.
VanderSchalie is on of several senior run-ners in the area who consistently trains for distance races, includ-ing marathons.
He started running in his 30s when he real-ized he was gaining weight and getting out of shape. There were several runners work-ing at the veterinary school at Washington State University where he was a graduate student, and they con-vinced him to not only start run-ning, but to run marathons.
Since then, VanderSchalie has run “only” 13 marathons. Many times he has trained for marathons only to have injuries prevent him from running them. Instead of being discouraged, though, he said he has enjoyed the years of training.
A turning point for VanderSchalie came a few years ago while golfing with a close friend. He was struggling to return to running after recov-ering from plantar fasciitis, a painful foot condition. He fig-ured signing up for a marathon would force him to be serious about a training schedule, but he suffered one little injury after
another. As he limped around the
golf course with a bad back, his friend told him maybe he was just too old to be doing marathons anymore. The com-ment was all the motivation he needed. Since then, he has run five or six marathons.
One Saturday a couple of years ago, VanderSchalie met a runner coming from the oppo-site direction who looked about
his age. They stopped to introduce themselves, then ran along, talking, and found they had a lot in common, includ-ing being born within a month of each other.
The man, Asotin resi-dent Larry Haws, became VanderSchalie’s run-ning partner, and today the two of them, along with Clarkston resident Sheri Boyd, train togeth-er several times a week. Barring injuries, the trio hopes to run a 30-mile race, known as an ultra, later this month.
Having a partner, Vander-Schalie and Haws agree, helps motivate them as they train for a race like the ultra, which requires many early
mornings and many Saturdays of three-hour (or more) long runs.
Haws, who had been a lone runner for 30 years before meet-ing VanderSchalie and Boyd, said running with partners has given him “a whole new per-spective on the sport.”
As they run, they discuss their common interests (both love sailing — VanderSchalie was a national champion racer and Haws spent four years sailing 22,000 miles in the South Pacific with his wife, Kerry) and share running stories (Haws started running in 1975 on a dare from a girl he hoped to date).
Those long runs and long vis-its have paid off: Since Haws and VanderSchalie started running

together, both have qualified for and run the Boston Marathon.
Another tool has been a local running club, the Seaport Striders. Members run or walk together on Saturday morn-ings, then gather for coffee. The camaraderie boosts runners of all ages, including many seniors.
Longtime Striders member Charlie Bursell, 73, said the group was started sometime in the late 1970s. Since then, it has organized countless races in and around the valley, including the Edge of Hell trail run at Hells Gate State Park, the seventh edition of which took place in February.
Among the finishers of the Edge of Hell last month was George Topping, 75, a man both

Haws and VanderSchalie have been able to adapt their goals and training to allow themselves to enjoy the sport they love as they age. They shared the following sugges-tions for senior runners — or seniors who would like to be runners:
What has helped you stay
with the sport as you’ve aged?VanderSchalie: Accept slow-
ing down as an undeniable fact, and measure yourself only against people in your own age group in organized runs. Look forward to significant running events, which help keep training
on track.Haws: As you get older you
learn that you need more recov-ery time. John and I normally run only three times a week.
What is your advice for peo-ple 60+ who are considering taking up the sport?
VanderSchalie: Run only three days a week and cross-train on several other days. Find a friend of similar abilities with whom to train.
Haws: Start slow, set a goal, then track your progress with a log. Keeping track of your prog-ress is a great motivator.
A few tips on running
INSIDE: Runner Jordon Kanikkeberg just keeps going.

Haws and VanderSchalie are mem-bers of the Seaport Striders Running Club. VanderSchalie said being a member of the Striders helps him keep in contact with other valley
runners and keep up on running events, both local and distant.
For more information about the group, those interested can visit its Web site at www.seaportstrid-
ers.com or join the club’s runners and walkers Saturday mornings at 8 (except on race days) at the conflu-ence parking lot in Clarkston under the Blue Bridge.
seaport striders Running Club
VanderSchalie and Haws cite as an inspiration.
Seaport Striders President-elect Lance A b e r n a t h y is another of Topping’s fans. “George is an amazing story,” Abernathy said. “He doesn’t seem to age.”
T o p p i n g , of Lewiston, began running six or seven
years ago at the urging of a friend. “I’m actually a cyclist,”
he said, a sport he took up more than 20 years ago.
Today, he runs three days a week and works out at a gym two.
“You get addicted,” he said of running.
Another 2010 Edge of Hell finisher was Clarkston resident Mary Kopischke, 69, who has been running since 1991. She calls her training “haphazard,”
but said she usually gets out three or four days a week.
Her advice to senior runners? “Associate with younger peo-ple,” she said. “It keeps you young.”
Nolan Noren, 66, of Juliaetta, was among the racers who com-pleted two loops at the Edge of Hell, for a total of eight miles (runners can choose between a four-mile or eight-mile race).
Noren said he’s been running for “a long time.”
“I do a lot of running with my kids,” he said.
Races like the Edge of Hell and the 30-mile Hells Canyon Adventure Run VanderSchalie and Haws are preparing for take place on trails, an ideal setting for senior runners, they said.
“You start losing your balance as you get older,” Haws said. “Trails force you to use that (balance).”
Trail running can help prevent injuries to the joints as well. As runners get older, VanderSchalie said, it helps to “get off pave-
ment and onto trails.”Getting onto the trails is a
suggestion they take to heart. On the morning of the Edge of Hell, they opted not to participate in
the race, but to go for much lon-ger runs in the surrounding hills, eating up miles of trail before most people had left their homes for the day.

2007 Golden Times story profiled athlete with cancer
By Mary TaTkoOf TargeT PublicaTiOns
In October 2007 Jordon Kanikkeberg and his wife, Phyllis, completed the Portland Marathon. For the Kanikkebergs, the race was about more than running 26.2 miles. It was an affirmation of life.
Kanikkeberg, who was treat-ed for bladder cancer in 2005, learned in December 2006 the cancer had spread to his right lung and was stage four. He was 79 years old when they com-peted in Portland, and life was uncertain.
The January 2007 issue of Golden Times featured a story about Kanikkeberg, includ-ing excerpts from a journal he wrote about his journey with cancer. His goal was to share information, hope and inspira-tion with others living with the disease.
Part of his story was the deci-sion he and Phyllis made not to treat the cancer with chemo-therapy. Their goal then was to pursue the best quality of life for as long as they could.
Today, that journey continues.In October last year, the
Kanikkebergs completed a marathon in Kelowna, British Columbia. “We finished 26 minutes ahead of our Portland time,” he said recently.
Now 82 years old, and still living with cancer, Kanikkeberg, has not slowed down.
He and Phyllis stay in shape
“all the time,” taking on a six-day-a-week regimen when they’re preparing for a mara-thon.
“We started training about the first of June,” he said of prepa-rations for Kelowna.
Their program includes an endurance walk on Fridays, starting with about eight miles and building up to 22. Saturday is a recovery walk, and Sunday is a day of rest.
“It’s interesting,” he said. “All these programs (for prepar-ing to run a marathon) are six-day programs. The seventh day you rest.”
Their remaining schedule includes jogging about four miles twice a week and some cross training, such as bicy-cling, the other two days.
This despite the tumor in his lung. At a recent appointment, he learned it is about four inch-es in diameter. “That’ll continue to grow and catch up with me someday,” he said.
In the meantime, he continues to stay fit. In fact, Kanikkeberg said his doctor attributes his rel-atively good health to his high level of physical activity.
“The reason he says I’m able to do what I do is because I’m so healthy.”
So in order to stay healthy, and because he feels so healthy,
Kanikkeberg runs.He and Phyllis already have
signed up for Bloomsday, in Spokane, a race they do every year in May. They also usually run either the Seaport River Run or the Spring Dash, in Coeur d’Alene, as well as the
Genesee man is still running strong

He married Roberta J. Donaldson of Moscow in 1935, and they reared two
children. Roberta died in 2003.
Dan was the Moscow city trea-surer for 30 years, retiring in 1975. He is a member of the Moscow Elks, Moscow Central Lions Club and TKE Fraternity. His hob-

In addition to his two children, Dan has five grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, two bonus grandchildren and five bonus great-grandchildren.
JAMES G. USHERJames G. Usher will cel-
ebrate his 100th birthday March 29 with family and friends. He was born March 29, 1910, in Los Angeles to stock company actors and spent his early years travel-ing the West with the com-pany.
Jim enrolled in Humboldt College and tried his hand at acting and screen writ-ing. He joined the California National Guard, and when World War II began, his unit was sent to Fort Lewis, Wash., for training.
There he met Jean Tucker of Clarkston, who was an Army nurse. The day after their marriage in 1942, he left for overseas deployment.
Jim served as a com-pany commander with the 7th Army, 184th Infantry Battalion in the Aleutians, Kwajalein, Philippines and Okinawa, where he was wounded. He received the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star.
Jim and Jean settled in Clarkston after the war and reared two daughters. He was a member of the National Guard and was
called up to serve in Korea. He later became the battal-ion commander of the 148th Field Artillery Unit in north-ern Idaho, and retired as a lieutenant colonel.
He served as a port com-missioner, president of the Rotary and as an elder in the Clarkston First Presbyterian Church.
He was also a founder of the Valley Art Center in Clarkston.
After Jean’s death, Jim married Leona, in 1980 and settled in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
In addition to his two daughters, Jim has two granddaughters and two stepsons.

“I really am feeling good,” he said. “I do whatever I want to do. It (the cancer) doesn’t seem
to be giving me any problem.”As for his decision to live life
to its fullest and forgo treatment for what is considered incur-able cancer, Kanikkeberg has no regrets.
“It’s just something we decid-ed to live with rather than go through a bunch of treatment, and for us it’s been a good deci-sion,” he said.
“We’ve had over two years of good time.”
