Workers from Blue Mountain Fine Art pour 2,500-degree molten bronze into a form.

By Lisa Britton For the Baker City Herald

What began as an ordinary salt block has been turned, by molten bronze, into a unique piece of art in Baker City.

Well, almost — first the 13 pieces must bew elded togethertore-create the salt lick, which at four feet high is quite a bit larger than the original.

The sculpture was pattered after a real salt block entered in the annual Great Salt Lick contest and auction put on by Whit Deschner to raise money for Parkinson's disease research.

The four-foot version w as carved out offoam for the bronze process.

The idea of turning the block into public art developed as a project during a recent Ford Family FoundationCohort 4 Group.

Co-chairs are Deschner, SteveHardrath and Jeff Nelson.

The art projectis designedtotie together art, agriculture, tourism and Parkinson's disease awareness.

This week the sculpture pieces were created in bronze at Blue Mountain Fine Art in Baker City.

The project, which cost a lit tlemore than $12,000, has been funded by selling

The Dalles native Greg Walden — first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1998 — is the favorite to retain his position representing the sprawling district that includes all of Oregon east of the Cascades.

Fellow Republican — and Klamath County Chairman — Dennis Linthicum is contesting Walden's slot in the May primary, while on the Democratic side three candidates — Charles Vulliet, Barney Spera and Aelea Christof ferson — are setto battle itoutfor the opportunity to take on Walden or Linthicum in the November general election.

Walden, who is seeking his ninth term in Congress, has consistently trounced Democratic challengers.

A deeper-than-average snowpack in Central Idaho is partially responsible for Brownlee Reservoir being slow to refill this spring.

OIIIcials from Idaho Power Company, which own and operate Brownlee Dam, thought earlier this spring that the company might fulfill its flood control obligations by the end of April.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 7, 1964 The members of the Chamber of Commerce program and civic relations committee have agreed on a size and type of planter container to be used in a program they are considering for downtown beautification.

The committee agreed on the locally manufactured concrete container, approximately three feet high and wide, after a study and recommendation by a sub-committee of Mrs. Doris Clark and Dick Mark.

25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 8, 1989 When weight loss gets tough, the tough go to the Diet Center.

That's a new business in Baker geared to helping chubbersshed those pounds — permanently.

For owner SandraWhittaker of The Dalles, who owns a second Diet Center in La Grande, and manager Deborah Freeman, weight loss is serious business that often requires a no-nonsense approach to dieting.

The Diet Center, 1932 First St., is ready to help by setting forth a five-phase weight loss program that includes sound nutrition.

10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 7, 2004 Nine-year-old Darryn McCauley giggles so hard that she barely manages to row her broom and ride her carpet tube canoe to the next stop.

"Stroke, stroke, change. Stroke, stroke, change," Nancy Harms reminds the students as they stir up dust on Flagstaff Hill.

This is the canoe and portaging race — dry-land styleat the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.

Two hundred students from around Eastern Oregon roamed the Center's grounds onThursday, moving from station to station to learn about orienteering, try on some Oregon Trail clothes, string bead bracelets, visit with a mountain man and race their classmates astride tube canoes.

ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald May 13, 2013 The fruit trees at Eagle Creek Orchard near Richland "woke up" in March when the temperature topped 80 degrees, coming out of dormancy earlier than usual.

Then, in mid-April the orchard alarm went off, alerting owners Robert and Linda Cordtz that the temperature had hit the danger zone of 28 degrees.

The night got colder, and despite seven hours of their frost protection measures they lost 90 percent of the apricots, peaches and plums.

"The alarm went off at12:30 a.m. and the temperature plummeted," Linda said. "We knew it was bad."

They are looking at a loss of more than 70 percent of their total yearly harvest.

ELECTION

Candidate To Speak in Baker City

Continued from Pcge1A In 2012, Walden defeated Joyce Segers by securing 68.6percent ofvotesw hile Segers recorded 29.1 percent.

In 2010 Walden — also againstSegers — registered 74.1percent ofthe vote while Segers accumulated 25.9 percent.

Both victories firmly established Walden's position as one of the strongest in the American GOP terrain.

Christofferson, a former Bend-area business owner who will visit Baker City on Friday, concedes Walden is a strong candidate.

"He is a longtime incumbent who has a pretty solid seat.In the 2000-era Ivoted for him," she said.

Yet she believes his House seatisavulnerable one.

Christofferson contends Walden has strayed from the key precepts that made him such a formidable lawmaker in the past.

"He seemedto be pretty moderate on issues. But over the last few years he's moved progressively right. I think he's lost his way as far as paying attention to what is important to his home state," she said.

A good example, she said, is Walden's role as chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

We often talk ofhow well we know our parents — but after death is when we really step back and see them in our minds eye as they reallyare. Jeanette Marie (Poechhacker) LeGrande, daughter of Austrian immigrants, was just such a wonderful person and to me, mom. She married a tough Marine, Bill LeGrande senior, from the deep south, when she was 19 years young and they grew old together when that same tough guy was honorably discharged from Marines, Army and two stints in the Air Force until his death in 1989 after many years as a heavy equipment mechanic. Yes, she supported this guy and raised two wild boys into their 50's yet for years worked waitress hours and as county clerk before her retirement.

From Oklahoma to wilds of Alaska, California and Oregon in between, she kept us together. A longtime resident of Baker City, her last years were toughest, yet lightened by the hourly day and night support by her son Bill junior, who cared for her in Prescott, Washington, with so much love. She gained a daughter, Lynn, when son Bob (AKA, Skeeter) married her in 1980, bringing with Lynn the wonderful, loving Hausske family.

Jan, as most called her, was mom to many, with that eye twinkle and million dollar smile. We are going to miss you mom. The military memorial information will follow.

We plan a small family picnic in her honor, according to her wishes.

— Bob LeGrande (Skeet)

Continued ~om Page1A On one side of the postcard is a photo of Warner next to former President Bill Clinton.

The words "Fred Warner" are emblazoned across the top of thepostcard,and atthe bottom is "Republican???" in capital letters.

On the flipside of the postcard Warner is accused of, among other things: Supporting Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat; Supporting Hillary Clinton, also a Democrat; backing tax measures; backing wind power in the county; favoring a federal early-education program; advocating Obamacare, the use of unmanned drones and a handgun ban. The postcard alsoproclaims more than 200 Democrats in Baker County re-regis tered asRepublicans so they could vote for Warner in the all-GOP primary on May 20.

Also on the flipside of the postcardisa photo of Warner standing next to former President Clinton at a"Hillary Clinton campaign event" — a reference to Bill Clinton's visit to Baker City in May 2008, when he gave a speech on the front steps of the County Courthouse in support of Hillary Clinton's bid for the Democratic nominationforpresident.

me. I didn't even know it was coming out."

— FredWamer Jr.

— Bill Harvey

Merkley, also a Democrat.

While the postcard's political overtones — when framed against the broader American political election campaign landscape — are relatively tame, for Baker County its connotations may mean a new kind of election paradigm. Warner said the implications of the postcard may mean the epoch of relatively affable and gracious election campaigns may be nearing an end.

"I just think it is really bad that we have resorted to these kinds of tactics in little ole Baker County. We've always been pretty civil," Warner said.

Harvey said he had not seen the postcard.

"It had nothing to do with me. I didn't even know it was coming out," Harvey said.

Warner said the assertions on the postcard are mostly false.

"I did not support Hilary Clinton. I did introduce President Clinton when he was on the front steps of the courthouse. I was asked to do it and I just introduced him," Warner said.

W arner said thepostcard contains very little factual information.

'They've taken a tiny, little thread of something and really gone out there,"Warner sald.

Warner also said he doesn't support Obamacare or a handgun ban. He also said he does not support drones.

'The only thing I know about drones is that Pendleton has a drone industry coming in," he said.

Warner said he knows w hy the postcard criticized his record on wind power.

"I overturned the planning commission and I did it on a technicality. I don't support wind power. I'm not afraid of wind power if it is located in the right spotand thepeople of BakerCounty want wind power," he said.

Warner said he was surprised by the tone of the postcard, and heistroubled by the example such tactics might establish for future campalgns.

"I just hate the precedent itsetsforelectionsto come.

We've seen it in the state but never really seen it in county elections. I think it is kind of sad," he said.

Harvey said he did not

EXCERPTS FROM POSTCARD: • "Fred Warner Jr. supported Obama's birth to five early learning hub initiative" • "Suports Obamacare, drones and handgun ban" • "Supported by Baker County Democrat Leadership: Marshall McComb (Chairmanj, Gary Dielman (Pcpj; Peter Hall (Vice Chair)" • Over 200+ Democrats re-register to support Warner"

endorse the political postcard.

"I don't know if it hurts or helps me. I don't know what the intent was and I don't know who did it," he said.

Warner said the kind of tactics thepostcard represents may mean a new political dawn for campaigns in Baker County. And, he said, it will not be a good thing.

"If this is going to be the norm... my God,"Warner sald.

Green, the state spokesman, said the person who produced and mailed the postcard would have to register with the Secretary of State's office only if the cost

exceeded $750.

Serving Baker County since 1870

EDITORIAL

u reme our ri

on ra er The Supreme Court weighed in more than a decade too late to have much inHuence on Baker City's controversy, but the nation's highest court has finally endorsed, albeit by the narrowest margin, the City Council's longtime practice of opening its meetings with a Christian invocation.

In a 5-4 ruling Monday on a case from Greece, N.Y., the Court decided that invocations made during local meetings, including prayers that are explicitly Christian, are constitutional.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, concluded that"the inclusion of a brief, ceremonial prayer as part of a larger exercise in civic recognition suggests that its purpose and effect are to acknowledged religious leaders and the institutions they represent, rather than to exclude or coerce nonbelievers."

We agree with Kennedy's conclusion.

Although we suggested in 2008 that the City Council replace the invocation with a moment of silence, we've never believed that the Council's invocations amounted to proselytizing or to denigrating otherreligions.

And we're confident that were a Jewish rabbi, for instance, to ask to say a prayer at the opening of meeting, that he would be welcomed to do so.

In 2002 the City Council approved a resolution that recommends non-sectarian invocations but does not preclude specifically Christian prayers. Since then invocations have included Christian prayers as well as readings of poetry, inspirational quotations and even brief musical performances.

Most oken, though, the invocation has been a prayer, and frequently one that refers to Jesus.

Fortunately this practice has not rekindled the debate that embroiled the City Council, and many residents, in the early 2000s and again, brieHy, in the summer of 2008.

And now that the Supreme Court has determined that those prayers meet constitutional muster, we hope it's a topic that remains in the background.

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from the Ontario Argus Observer: We couldn't be happier about Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's recent creation of a public records ombudsman in his office.

Otter signed an executive order creating the position April 23. The ombudswoman, Cally Younger, will review how state agencies handle records requests. She'll also lookforways to improve Idaho's publicrecords laws.

"An openand transparent government isa fundamentaltenet ofa free society,"Otter said in a news release.

We couldn't agree more.

It'srefreshing to see Idaho'shighest state officialdeclaring the importance of a transparent government. As a newspaper, we believe the people who elect officials to represent them have every right to know what's going on in government. We believe decisions, especially those that affect public policy and public safety, should not be kept behind closed doors. We believe that the taxpayers who foot the bill should know how their money is being spent.

Apparently not everyone agrees with us. Sean Evans, publisher of the Idaho Business Review and president of the Newspaper Association of Idaho, said his organizationhas seen "a trend ofpublic record denials recently."

When government entities hide information, journalists and private citizens who should be privy to the details often have no option but to drop the issue. As Evans pointed out in a news release, "Few have the resources or inclination to sue every time the government rejects a request for a public record." The result, Evans said, is "a block on the freedom of information."

We'd like to see Gov. John Kitzhaber take a page from Idaho's book and consider instituting an Oregon ombudsman position. There are more than 400 exemptions to Oregon's public records law. The Center for Public Integrity recently gave Oregon an F in public access to information. Idaho scored a C minus — a score the ombudsman position can only improve.

Thank you, Gov. Otter, for ensuring your state's government is by the people, for the people and open to scrutiny from the people.

local woodcutters

Everyone who depends on wood either foraliving,orforheatneedstoread this nextparagraph, and decideforthemselves if the Baker County was protecting our historical, cultural traditions. This was taken right out of the Baker County's alternative: Wood getting Guaranteeing accessfor woodcutting is a "win-win"situation for the residents as well as the forest service. A cooperative working relatmnship between the Wallowa-Whitman forest, Baker County government,and the iocal residents needs to be designed whereby the designated

areas for wood getting would be assigned on a"movable"basis.Itshould beevaluated yearly,and the boundaries moved as the supply is depleted. This would give the benefrt to the iocals ofalways being assured agood, and readily available, supply ofwood; whileit would also benefrt the forest from being cleaned up ofdead, downed and dying timber thatis tinder for raging forest Pres.

Baker County, under the direction of Fred Warner, submitted this alternative to the Forest Service for the Travel Management Plan lTMP1.

If the Forest Service would have selected the Baker County alternative we would be living with this right now.

After the decision came out on the TMP, how many ofyou people would trust the Forest Service tobein chargeofopening up new areas to go getyour wood? Does this sound like a plan you are willing to live with? Does this sound like any Eastern Oregon county? Maybe that's why only a small percentage of people on Baker County's TMP committee would sign the County's alternative.

Bill Harvey would never have agreed to give away this cultural, historical tradition. Be sure to vote!

Tork Ballard Baker City

W arner has been outstanding manager of county I encourage you to vote for Fred Warner. He has done an outstandingjob of managing the business we all call"Baker County."

As a former budget board member, I know for fact that he is intricately involved in developing a balanced budget.

Even through the recession, he has kept our county within our budget.

Fred knows how important itis to work WITH the state and federal government.

He knows who to contact and educate them as to what is best for our county and why.

Fred know that working togetherfor a solution is best.

I see Fred engaged in the community at many events emceeing, auctioneering, fundraising, encouraging and participating. He enjoys beinginvolved and feeling the pulse of our county.

Your best choice for County Chairman is Fred Warner!

Kate Rohner Baker City

I'm voting for Warner and Bennett forcounty My personal insightinto both Fred and Mark comes as a citizen and as a former public official with a workingrelationship.

Both bring a wealth of experience both in serving Baker County and its citizens, and arecordoftim e-proven accomplishment thatincludes balancing budgets and services.

Both have a record of outstanding public service. This reflects both their high personal standard, and countless hours they spend being as informed as possible and in touch with the needs and opinions ofthosethey serve,beforegoingto solution.

They have stmng listening skills, patienceand respectforallopinions,and the knowledge to take the extra time to seek solutions that last. This differs fmm the more common expedient quick fixes that sound good, may be politically advantageous, but do not stand the test of time.

Both are also well versed on natural resources, and have extensive experience to draw on. Of particular significance to me, is their understandingin seeing economic considerations as particularlyimportant, butdoingsowith socialfactors,proper land management and other resource values in mind. And I think they each understand the importance ofrecreation today and to the future of this county, and the special assets this county has in this regard.

Perhaps the most significant attribute they each offer is their knowledge of the importance of and record of investingin workingrelati onshipsasapartofgoverning. This allows a base of cooperation and communication fmm which to work fmm in exploring solutions to issues. And it is a good preventive for a common illness in government called divisiveness.

Itisforthesereasons ofexperience, knowledge, leadership, integrity, success and high public service standards I support Fred Warner Jr. as Baker County Commission Chair and Mark Bennett as Baker County Commissioner Position 2.

By Gary Dielman During the 1909-1910 school year, Susan Browning Cochrane taught a dozen students in a one-room schoollocated one and a half miles west of Whitney, Baker County School District No. 42, in a little valley on the North Fork of Burnt River.

Reached on Monday, Conger said he wasn't surprised that the"If He Votes" PAC's activities, which he called "absurd, false and misleading," had resulted in an FEC complaint, but he has no plans to file one himself.

The PAC's actions will give Democrats ammunition to use against whoever wins, he said. ''When these kind of actions are taken by those associated with Republican campaigns, itm akes itharderfor those of us who are trying to be open and honest," he said.

"It can further undermine the public's confidence in the fairnessorthe legitimacy of the political system, of our elections."

Coordination, Conger said, doesn't mean that Miller told W ehby what he planned to do through the PAC. If there was awareness of "campaign strategy, polling information and messaging" between the campaign and the PAC, that could constitute coordination, he said.

"It's hard to imagine that coordination didn't exist," he said.

starfish on the West Coast has made its first major appearance in Oregon.

Oregon Coast Aquarium divers at the entrance to Yaquina Bay at Newport last month found starfish with "seastarwasting disease"thatcausestheir arms to fall otf and turn to goo.

The cause of the disease isn't known, the Oregonian 4ttp J%s.gd/9oVFFfI reported.

It's the first major discovery of dying starfish along Oregon's coast. Last year, a few dying starfish were found in one tide pool near Yachats, about 25 miles south of Yaquina Bay. Jim Burke, the aquarium's dive operations director, said his underwater survey in April found about 30 healthy starfish and 22 with signs of wasting disease.

'You see an arm totally otE or the base of a body really milky, or an arm starting to separate," he said.

Starfish die-otfs have happened before in Southern California in 1983-1984 and 1997-1998, when El ¹no events turned ocean waters warmer than normal. But those events affected only portions of the population. That m ade it easierforstarfish torecover.

publican.org, an Alexandria, Va.-based organization founded by Alex Castellanos, a political consultant who supported George W. Bush and Mitt Romney, bought $195,000 in television and radio ads supporting Wehby.

The group also spent $40,000 on online advertising.

Since the end of March, Oregon Right to Life PAC has made multiple media buys supporting Conger, including tens of thousands on radio ads and more than

Prison security system fails MADRAS iAPl — An automated system designed to make residents of a Central Oregon town aware of escapes from a nearby prison failed after a 31-year-old man apparently scaled the prison fence and vanished.

Residents living near the Madras-area prison are supposedto receiveimmediate recorded telephone alerts about emergency situations.

But many did not hear about the escape until almost 10 hours later, when police came knocking on their doors, KTVZ-TV reported ihttp//bit.ly/1klnlxel.

"It makes me pretty upset and concerned that they don't do what they promised to do. And on top of that, how can you trust them?" said Jerry Patterson, who lives near the prison and whose SUV was stolen after the escape.

His Chevrolet Blazer was found in Madras, touching otf a search. But the inmate, Clinton Orvill Swearingen, couldn't be found. Oflicers said it appeared he'd changed hisclothes and leftthearea.

Swearingen was serving time on theft and burglary convictions in Linn County. He escaped Sunday and remained at large Tuesday.

Heatflexmuscles against Nets

By Tim Reynolds AP Basketball Woter

MIAMI — Once the Miami Heat nal filyfigured outhow to getrolling against Brooklyn, they never ceded control.

And after a regular-season series against the Nets in which nothing wentright, nothing seemed to go wrong for the Heat in this one.

The 0-4record against the Nets in the regular season?

That seems officially forgotten

by Miami. As far as the Heat areconcerned,1-0 isallthat matters now, after LeBron

James scored 22 points, Ray Allen added 19 otf the bench and Miami pulled awayin the second half to beat Brooklyn 107-86 in Game 1 of the teams' Eastern Conference semifinal series on Tuesday night.

The Heat hadn't played in eight days, yet looked in perfect rhythm.

'You never know how exactlyit's going to be for that first game,"Allen said.'We were beating up on each other for a whole week. We were ready for another opponent

any business owners state that"our employees are our greatest asset."

In many organizations, if the truth were told, the employees are the business.

N ot all employees are equal on the job. Some cost the company money; others make thecompany money.

Some employees are loyal, hardworking and trustworthy; some are disengaged and have to be closely monitored to make sure they are getting their assignments done.

Some do the minimal amount necessary to stay employed, showing no initiative; others consistently go the extra mile and do whatever is needed without being told.

It is very unfortunate many peopleworking today have a sense of entitlement.

Somewhere along the way, people came to believe that they should get raises and promotions for just showing up or for just putting in time.

In the real world where people work in business, it is all about results. Those who produce more get rewarded more. This is not fair. It is not meant to be fair. In the world of business, making money is what is important and agreement is not necessary to understand the philosophy.

Tom Peters, the author of several best-selling books on management, stated that"some employees are worth a lot of money.... Some employees are worth a hell of a lot more money." The preamble to that quote should be"some employees are not worth having on the payroll, and everyone should be paid what they are worth.... Having said that..."

Most owners recognize and mentally rank employees based on whatever internal valuesare important, be it longevity with the company, work ethic, loyalty, results, likeability, ability and so forth.

However, that value system is rarely communicated formally to the employee.

This leaves every employee thinking that they are the bestemployee on thepayroll.

That is because no one ever told them differently.

Because it is often an unpleasant meeting, most employees have never been SeeKeller / Page 3B

CORVALLIS — Information about the Pacific Northwest's wide array of wildflowers is just a swipe away with a new mobile app designed in part by botanists at Oregon State University.

Available for download on iOS and Android devices, the Oregon Wildflowers app provides multimedia and information on nearly 1,000 wildflowers, shrubs and vines common in Oregon and adjacent areas in Idaho, Washington and California.

For eachplant,theapp offers photographs, natural history, range maps and more. It works without an Internet connection once downloaded.

'You can use the app no matter how remote your wanderings may take you," said Linda Hardison, the directoroftheOregon Flora Project, an OSU effort to developresources,likethe new app, to help people learn about plants in Oregon.

"It' sdesignedforboth budding wildllower enthusiasts and experienced botanists to learn about plantcommunities and ecologythroughout the Pacific Northwest," added Hardison, a botanistin OSU's College ofAgricultural Sciences.

The majority of species featured in the app are native to the region, with some introducedspeciesthathave become established. Plants are organized by common name, scientific name or family, which app users can identify by browsing through high-resolution photographs.

To identif y an unknown plant, users can select from 12 illustrated categories, which include geographic region, type of plant, flower features, leaffeatures,plant sizeand habitat.

The app is available at Amazon, Apple and Google

app stores for $7.99 and is compatible with all Android devices, Kindle Fire, iPhones andiPads.Aportion ofrevenues willsupport conservationand botanical exploration in the region, said Hardison, a professor in OSU's Botany and Plant Pathology Department.

The Oregon Flora Project isalsopreparing a new Flora of Oregon publication for releasein 2015.The lastbook about the flora for Oregon was written in the 1950s, said Hardison. The new edition will be updated to reflect the latest scientific research.

Elgin's communi garden begins to take root COMMUNITY GARDEN

By Tiish Yerges ForWesCom News Service

ELGIN — Last week, the Elgin Lions Club hosted an open house for its new project, a community garden with raised beds located on Baltim ore and12th streets.

The community garden is located behind Stella Mayfield Elementary School on an unused asphalt tennis court, which is quite suitable for a community garden. Here, families, individuals, students and teachers from Stella Mayfield come to check on their veggie beds every week.

"Some kids are learning for the first time where food comes from," said Stella Mayfield Principal Dianne Greif."They are learning re-

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service is now accepting applications for its new agricultural conservation easements program.

Funding is now available for the purchase of conservation easements on eligible agricultural lands and wetlands in Oregon. Applications must be submitted to Oregon NRCS by June 6 in order to be consideredforthisyear's funding.

'This is an exciting new opportunity for even more people to get involved in conserving natural resources," said Oregon State Conservationist Ron Alvarado.'We encouragestate and local governments, non-governmental organizations, Indian tribes and private landowners to contact their local N RCS offic e tofind outhow

to apply."

The ACEP, created through the 2014 Farm Bill, funds easements for agricultural lands and wetland reserves. ACEP has two components, one for agricultural land easements and one for wetland reserve easements.

Under the agricultural land component, funds are provided to eligible entities that can use ACEP funding to purchase agricultural land easements that protect the agricultural use and conservation values of eligible land.Approved agricultural easements would prevent productive working lands from beingconverted to non-agricultural uses and maximize protection of land devotedto food and fi ber production. Cropland,rangeland,grassland,pastureland and nonindustrial private forestland are eligible.

NRCS is currently acceptingapplications for both components of ACEP, applications must be submitted to Oregon NRCS by June 6.

Applications are available at local USDA Service Centers and on the Oregon NRCS Website at www.or.nrcs.usda. gov. Eligible applications will be evaluated starting in mid-July. Offers to enroll in ACEP will be sent to ranked and selected applicants in early August.

The ACEP combines NRCS' former farm and ranchlands protection,grassland reserve and wetlands reserve programs.

HEALTH CARE

Qearing up some Medicare mysteries

By Meredith Cohn The Baltimore Sun

Since 1966, residents 65 or older have been able to sign up for Medicare, the federal government's health plan for seniors. But there are now private plans available, as well as a drug plan, giving people more options — but also raising more questions for beneficiaries.

Michelle P. Holzer, program manager for the Maryland Department of Aging's State Health Insurance Assistance Program, offers answers to some of the most common questions people have about the program.

.'e '

QUESTION: When do you apply for Medicare, and if you work, do you still

«C

apply?

ANSWER: If you are retired, you have a sevenmonth initial enrollment period to sign up for Medicare Part A and/or Part B, which begins three months before the month you turn 65, includes the month you turn 65, and ends three months after the month you turn 65.

Ifyou are still working and are covered by an employer group health plan, then you may be able to delay the start of monthly Medicare Part B benefits imedicall, but it is generally recommended you consider enrollingin Medicare Part A 4ospitall.

Check with your employer's health benefits office and Social Security fortherules regarding the Special Enrollment Period to sign up for Medicare Part B. Ifyou miss the Initial Enrollment Period and are not entitled to a Special Enrollment Period, then you may face penalties and delays in getting your Medicare coverage.

If you are under age 65 and on Social Security be-

DON'I MISS OUT! e-mails

you are in a position of authority. You take responsibility very seriously, and you insist on being treated with respect; in return, of course, you treat others with respect, and usually assume thebestofthose around you.

Indeed, it is by empowering others that you get the best results ia life; you believe that trusting another with an important task or responsibility is the surest way to win his or her loyalty and to encourage him or her to excel. You're not one to micromanage, though you do like to check up on things to make sure progress is being made.

FRIDAY, MAY 9 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - - You're determined to follow a certain course of action, despite the reservations of one who hasbeen there before.Em ploycaution.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You'll want

gratef'ul for the assistance of someone who is doing it because it's the right thing, not becausehe orshew illgetany reward.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to find yourself connecting with many who share certain ambitions and interests, but you i ay still feel set apart somehow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sepu 22) - What qualifiesyou fora currentendeavor is notnecessartly your expertise, but that intangible something that no one else seems to have.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — It's time to put one foot in front of the other and get moving toward that important new goal.

There's no point in talking about it further.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - - You're expectinga search to take up most ofyour day, but you're likely to find what you are

looking for very quicldy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You knowwhat makes things more interesting for you, but it's not always going to make things interesting for those around you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - You don't have to say much to convey an important message. Once it's delivered, you can move on to the next item on your list.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You i ay have to give up a certain something ia order to comeout ahead — and you already know what it should be.

ARIES (March 21-Aprll 19) - - Putting yourself out there will involve more than mere placement; you must also demonstrate a willingness others do not have.

DEARABBY: I'm the happily marfv'ed DEAR SOUTHERN GAL: Sorry, but I do mother oftwo teenage boys.Theotherday I agree, because the gift would be given with overheard my older son (age17) talking with malicious intent, and I'm pretty sure that a frv 'end about "twerking."Ihave neverheard while Aracely lacks polish, she isn't stupid.

Her problem isn't that she doesn't unofit and now I'm worr7'ed. Is twerking a drug term? Is it similar to "tripping,""getting derstand good manners because she's from high"or "cat frshing?"

climate change has "moved firmly into the present," a federalscientifi cpanelreleasedareportTuesday that catalogstheimpacts ofsuch changes, saying some would be beneficial "but many more are detrimental."

TheAmerican Southeast and Caribbeanregion, for example, is"exceptionally vulnerable" to rising sea levels, exireme heat events, hurricanes and decreased waterresources, the report said. Seven major ports in thatregion are vulnerable to sea level rise. And residents can expect a significantincrease in the number ofhotdays— defi ned as95 degrees or above — aswell as decreases in fieezing events.

"Large numbers of southeasterncities,roads, railways, ports, airports, oil and gas facilities and water supplies are vulnerable to the impacts of sea level rise," the report concludes. Among the cities most at risk: Miami and Tampa, Fla.; Charleston, S.C.; New Orleans and Virginia Beach, Va. The findings, from the U.S. National Climate Assessment, were the resultofa three-year projectinvolving more than 300 experts and top administration officials, including President Barack Obama's science and technology adviser.

Skeptics of climate change attacked the report. The Cato Institute, a Washington-based libertarian research center, sent out its assessment Monday,sayingthe report"overly focuses on the supposed negative impacts from climate change while largely dismissing or ignoring the positives from climate change."

It said the"bias ... towards pessimism" has implications
