Institute honors war veterans

When Oct 19 – 23, 2011AVTT (www.avtt.ong) is a vet-

eran-owned project that travels theUSA to provide a forum for com-munities to HONOR-RESPECT-RE-MEMBER all who have sacrificedtheir lives for our country’s free-dom. In so doing, AVTT also hon-ors all Veterans and those cur-rently serving, by letting themknow they will never be forgotten.

Our traveling tribute is a true de-piction of the great sacrifices madethroughout the history of our coun-try. It consists of:· Displays representing statisticsfrom every war/conflict thatthe USA has been involved in.· A series of World War II panelsportraying the entire timeline ofevents.· A Korean War tribute repre-senting the timeline of the entireconflict with corresponding battlemaps and photos.· The Traveling Vietnam Wall –80% replica (largest replica) of theVietnam Veterans Memorial inWashington DC. The “wall”stretches over 380 ft long from endto end and contains all 58,253names. The “wall” is currentthrough 2009 and is constantlybeing updated to accurately pay

tribute to those who died duringthe Vietnam war.· A timeline, series of facts andfigures, and a display of art fromVietnam veteran artists depictingpatriotic and veteran themes.· Panels for honoring Law En-forcement and Firefighters withpictorial display.· A panel memorializing the casu-alties at the Ft Hood2009 shooting.· Pictures of each ofour commanders inchief throughout his-tory.· A 9/11 tribute withthe names of all 2984casualties organizedby where they were lo-cated at the time ofdeath.· The AVTT “GoldDog Tag” display. Thisone of a kind tributehonors those who have fallen andto which there is not currently amemorial for their honor and re-membrance. Each dog tag perma-nently records the casualty infor-mation (full name, branch of ser-vice, rank, date and location of ca-sualty) for that American Hero.This tribute is updated constantly

and would be accurate to the dayit would arrive at your location.Currently the AVTT Gold Dog Tagdisplay is the tribute to those whohave fallen 1) In hostile military ac-tions between the end of Vietnamand the 9/11 attack and 2) As amember of the armed forceswho have given their life in the Glo-bal War on Terror.

· A display of USA founding andsignificant historical documentsincluding the Constitution, Decla-ration of Independence and otherhistorical documents.. The exhibit is managed by an as-sociation of all volunteer veterans.For more info see Tamastliktwebsite or visit www.attv.org

(Salem) - Oregonians with Medi-care will need to make their annualbenefit changes early this year, andOregon’s Senior Health InsuranceBenefits Assistance (SHIBA) pro-gram is available to help.

The annual Medicare enroll-ment period when beneficiaries canchange health or drug coverage isOct. 15 to Dec. 7, a month earlierthan usual. Medicare instituted thenew time frame to ensure there isenough time to process anychanges so that coverage beginswithout interruption on Jan. 1.

SHIBA, a federally funded pro-gram available to help Oregon’smore than 600,000 Medicare ben-eficiaries, has counselors availablestatewide at 1-800-722-4134 to pro-vide free, unbiased one-on-one as-sistance during annual enrollment.

This month, seniors will receivetheir “Annual Notice of Change”letter from their insurance com-pany. The letter will outline anychanges to their benefits or costsin 2012, including whether theircurrent plan will be available.

“It is important that seniorswatch the mail for the letter, whichwill help determine whether youwant to consider other plans in2012,” said Lisa Emerson, SHIBAmanager.

If you do choose to look at newplans, SHIBA suggests you do thefollowing:

* Find your insurance cards:You may need your red, white, and

blue Medicare card to review ben-efit details or enroll in a new plan.If you have a Medicare Advantageor prescription drug plan, you mayalso need that card.

* Update yourlist of prescriptiondrugs: Check withyour doctor to makesure you under-stand each prescrip-tion. Is a genericavailable? Can youeliminate any un-needed medica-tions? Based onyour list, do youhave the right planfor you?

* Use theMedicare.gov planfinder: The planfinder uses your prescription listto compare prescription drug andMedicare Advantage health plansin your area. Not all companiescover the same drugs so it’s im-portant to have a complete list ofyour medications and dosageswhen using this tool.

* Contact your doctor, hospi-tal, and pharmacy before makingchanges: Not all health and drugplans contract or work with thesame providers. If you switchplans, make sure you understandwhich providers you can see forthe best price.

* Apply for help with drugcosts: If you have limited income

and assets, you may qualify forextra help with prescription drugcosts. SHIBA counselors can helpyou apply for this benefit throughSocial Security.

Reported by Jerry Breazeale,Irrigon City Manager

The Mayors and Managers ofMorrow County met in HeppnerWednesday September 21st for theirmonthly meeting. The hot topic ofthe day was the proposal to changethe way that county governmentis structured. The Mayors andManagers have become aware thatthe current government structurewas established by general lawwith the Oregon Constitution.With the growth of the countypopulation, budget, and the com-plexity of the situations that thecounty deals with, the Mayors/Managers believed that it was timefor a change.

The present county govern-ment structure was establishedwith the Oregon State Constitutionin 1859 under general law provi-sions. Times have changed andthe needs and issues facing Mor-

row County are much differentnow than they were in 1858 whenMorrow County was established.The Mayors/Managers believethat there needs to be a more con-temporary government structurewith more than three memberselected from the population. Coun-ties that have updated their formof government from general lawhave usually settled on five com-missioners to conduct theircounty’s business. Having morecommissioners allow for a widerperspective of interests and wouldallow for broader representation ofconstituents.

The Mayors/Managers ofMorrow County discussed thatchanging the county governmentstructure will be a difficult task andthere are many questions that willneed to be answered. The groupconsensus was to form a CharterCommittee made up of two mem-bers from the communities of

Heppner, Boardman and Irrigonand one member from each of thecommunities of Lexington and Ione.This committee will be tasked withdrafting a charter that can eventu-ally be submitted for a vote by thecitizens of Morrow County. Theprocess is expected to take manymonths and involve a great deal ofpublic input before the draft char-ter is placed on the ballot.

In other business, the Mayor/Managers discussed a five commu-nity marketing plan that would beshared by all five Morrow Countycommunities. This subject hasbeen under discussion and devel-opment for several months and aproposal is expected in the nearfuture to be jointly adopted by theMorrow County communities. TheMayors/Managers believe that bysharing resources and promotingall the communities a more effec-tive and efficient marketing pro-gram can be developed.

Do we have 5 county commissioners in ourMorrow County Future? Mayors/Managersdiscuss change in county structure.

Late season care for your gardenSix Things To Do Now for a

Better Garden Next YearbyMelinda Myers, gardening expert,TV & radio host, author and col-umnist

As the summer garden seasonnears an end, don’t let your guarddown. Keeping up with a few ba-sic chores can improve yourlandscape’s beauty and reduceyour workload next season.

Continue weeding. Removingweeds now before they go to seedwill eliminate hundreds of weedsnext season. Destroy invasiveweeds, those that have gone toseed and perennials that may rootin the compost pile. And mulchthe soil if you haven’t alreadydone so.Keep watering new plantings,stressed and young plants, ever-greens, and moisture loving plantsas needed throughout the fall. Water thoroughly and wheneverthe top few inches are crumbly andslightly moist. Check my plantguide for more specifics on yourplants watering needs. Properlywatered plants are better able tosurvive the rigors of winter.

Reduce future workloads andimprove your garden’s health andbeauty. A layer of shreddedleaves, evergreen needles orwoodchips will help suppressweeds, conserve moisture, moder-ate soil temperatures, and improvethe soil as they decompose.

Replace faded annuals withcool season annuals, mums, andother fall plants, decorativesquash and pumpkins. And add a

few fall containers to your frontentrance, patio or deck. It addscolor and a feeling of freshness tothe garden.

Monitor and manage pests asneeded. Keeping plants healthythroughout the growing seasonincreases your overwintering suc-cess. Hand pick small populationsof insects, rake and destroy dis-ease infested leaves, and alwaysuse the most eco-friendly productswhen greater intervention isneeded.

Keep applying animal repel-lents. Use a long lasting all naturalproduct like Bobbex. Keeping hun-gry animals away from your land-scape will help reduce the futurerisk of critters moving in and din-ing on your landscape.

Pharmacy & Your Health

Keeping a Watchful Eye on Aging ParentsAs your parents enter their twilight years, you may

feel as though you don’t want to meddle in their affairs. Butwhen it comes to their health and safety, try not to stay in thedark. By paying attention to any warning signs, you’ll be in abetter place to take steps that can help them stayindependent as long as possible.

Here are a few things to watch for.Parent trap? Has a parent suffered a fall at home? Or,

is one of them about to undergo a major surgery such as ahip replacement? If so, it’s likely time to view your parents’home through a new “lens.” The loose throw rugs that wereonce no big deal may now be a set-up for trouble. See if otheradjustments are needed, such as a raised toilet seat, extrahandrail, or shower chair, for example.

Mysterious weight loss. This is a red flag at any age,and is worth checking out. Often, it’s the result of anunderlying medical condition. But it can also meansomething’s “brewing” in the kitchen. Maybe the chef of thefamily is now having trouble with cooking tasks. Or, problemswith taste or smell may have developed due to aging, illness,or a medication.

Declining self care and home care. Is your normallyfastidious father letting himself go – wearing the same clothesfor three days in a row? Do you increasingly find rotten food inthe fridge or an overgrown garden that was once yourmother’s pride and joy? These can be signs of Alzheimer’s ordepression. Or, there may be another underlying healthcondition that’s partly to blame.

Shifting behaviors. Have neighbors or friends noticeda change in one of your parents’ behaviors? Maybe they’vebecome unusually noisy, more agitated, or up at strangehours of the night. Maybe finances are in disarray or a largenumber of magazines are now showing up in the mailbox.Has a parent become unwilling to get out and see friends orto keep up with hobbies and activities? These could be signsof Alzheimer’s or depression. But don’t rule out physicalsources for some of these problems.

If you notice signs of a problem, where should youbegin? Start by expressing your concerns with your parents.You might do this together with other loved ones or maybe aclergy. Or, offer to take your parent to a doctor appointment.Take an inventory of the house to see which safety issuesneed to be addressed first. Is it possible to hire someone tohandle household chores or to run errands? Or, can youarrange for meals to be delivered or for a home health careaide to help with daily activities? If these measures are notenough, it may be time to suggest a move to an assistedliving facility.

If you don’t know where to find resources, try theEldercare Locator at eldercare.gov. It can connect you withservices in the area where your parents live. And, rememberthat I’m always glad to consult with you about any concernsyou have about your parents’ medications.

These can be challenging times, but with the rightsupport, you can do it.

Lee and Pam Docken hostedtwenty-two members of theBoardman Kiwanis Club andKiwanis Lt. Governor MichaelDuffy and his wife PhyllisShovelski on September 9th for in-stallations of officers.

Outgoing President JimHollandsworth was praised for hiscommunity involvement. Incom-ing President Diane Wolfe was en-couraged to continue in the“Kiwanis tradition” of making adifference in the community. Of-ficers serve from October 1st toSeptember 30th of the ensuingyear.

The Kiwanis Club of Boardmanwas chartered July 1, 2001 and pres-ently has 25 members. Meetingsare held the 1st and 3rd Thursdaysof each month, 6:30 am at the RiverLodge & Grill. The Club concen-trates on service to the community,and is involved in the local Hal-loween Party, the Easter Egg Hunt,Rollin’ On the River, scholarships,and presenting dictionaries foreach 3rd grade student.

Our local businesses are recog-nizing that foreign-born workersare increasingly becoming a vitalpart of the community and the lo-cal workforce.

The influx of immigrants into thecommunity has provided an op-portunity for employers to fill po-sitions, particularly in the agricul-tural & food industries. Whilemany foreign-born workers haveassimilated into the workforce,others are more challenged to over-come cultural and language barri-ers that exist.

We believe that it is in the bestinterest of employers to better un-derstand and help bridge the cul-tural and language divide as moreforeign-born workers stream intothe workforce. Being proactive inhelping break down these barrierscan:· Reduce costly, on-the-job acci-dents caused by workers not fullyunderstanding safety rules or op-erational procedures;· Improve employers’ ability torecruit, hire and retain workers; and· Increase workers’ productivity.

Many of the well-known Lan-guage Learning Programs used inbusiness today can cost upwardsof $750 per year, per employee. Inthese economic times, such an ex-pense is prohibitively expensive.

While researching LanguageLearning Programs, it became clearthat the most cost effective way toprovide foreign language and ESL(English as a second language)education for employees in ourarea is for the local businesses topool their resources together andpurchase a language learning sys-tem for the local libraries of Mor-row & Umatilla Counties.

For an annual total cost of ap-proximately $6,500 per year we canprovide to every resident in Mor-row & Umatilla counties that hasa library card:· Unlimited access to 22 basic &16 complete language courses forEnglish speakers.· Unlimited ESL courses in 15 lan-guages for non-English speakingresidents.

Access to the courses from ei-ther the privacy of your home, your

local library, or anywhere whereyou have access to the internet.

To make this happen your localChamber of Commerce & Library,together with other local busi-nesses are asking that you, as alocal business, be willing to com-mit to a three year annual invest-ment into the Language LearningProgram for Morrow & UmatillaCounties. To date we have pledgesupwards of $500 per year from vari-ous local businesses and organi-zations for a total to date of $1,500.How much are you willing to in-vest?
