Catastrophic insurance could help with long-term care expenses: studies BY MICHELLE ANDREWS Kaiser Health News
As aging baby boomers swell the ranks of elderly Americans, we’re nowhere near a solution to providing the long-term care services many of them will need. Researchers at the Urban Institute have been examining the spending tradeoffs between two public
long-term care insurance programs: a catastrophic plan and a short-term plan that would pay benefits up front. Both would be financed through a payroll tax. They also explored how differences in the timing of payouts would affect consumer and government spending. “Do you use those resources to assist
people who might be able to take care of themselves, or do you use it to help people who couldn’t realistically be expected to take care of themselves?” asked Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the institute who has co-authored studies on the subject. Researchers estimate that about half of people who are 65
today will need help with daily activities such as bathing or eating at some point in their lives. Most will need help for less than two years, but about 1 in 7 will have a disability that lasts for more than five years. Even though many people rely on unpaid family help, a growing number will need care provided by home

health aides or nursing homes. Someone who turns 65 today can expect to rack up about $138,000 in longterm care costs over the rest of her life, according to the Urban researchers. Once people exhaust their own resources, they often turn for help to Medicaid, which covers 40 to 60 percent of long-term care servic-
es in this country, providing nursing home and other services to low-income people who have few other assets. Consumer advocates have long championed plans to establish some sort of national insurance program to help cover long-term care services. But costs and political differences have stymied the efforts.

Terry’s Turn
If it’s hot, this must be Iowa As Matthew Broderick said in the movie “Biloxi Blues,” “It’s hot… Africa hot.” But then it is summer and we are in Iowa. So it’s to be expected. But it always amazes me how during the hottest days I, like so many others, can’t get away from the air conditioning. I quickly go from the airconditioned house to the air-conditioned car then to a store or some Terry Turner other building turnert185@outlook.com that is hopefully air-conditioned. The amazing part is that when I was a kid places that were cooled by air conditioning systems were few and far between. We certainly didn’t have air conditioning at home. As I recall we had one fan and that was usually in the kitchen. But like most kids back then I didn’t spend a whole lot of time in the house during the summer. We were all outside playing. It was hot and it was muggy but we didn’t seem to care. Air conditioning was so rare back then, places like theaters and stores that had a cooling system would advertise the fact with signs like, “It’s cool inside” along with cartoon characters like a polar bear or penguin. I have to admit it did feel good to go into one of those places for a while but I didn’t seem to mind the heat back then. I do remember one particularly hot summer night when my older brother got the idea to go out on the porch roof outside his bedroom window. I saw what he was doing and crawled out there with him where we laid down and enjoyed a cool evening
summer breeze. Well, we enjoyed it until Mom found us. I remember one day my buddies Mike and Russell and I were standing outside in the blazing sun when Russell said, “Guess what my ol’ man said last night?” We could only imagine it was some new profanity until he continued. “He said it was hot enough yesterday to fry an egg on the sidewalk.” We all looked at each other and I pointed out, “It’s hotter today than yesterday.” We looked at each other. We were standing in front of my house. “I’ll get an egg,” I said and ran inside. My mother was in the kitchen doing something at the sink. “Just getting a drink of cold water,” I lied as I opened the refrigerator, or as we called it back then, the ice box. I looked inside and grabbed an egg, then escaped with my stolen chicken fruit. When I got outside Russell had gone home and returned with a spatula. We searched my sidewalk for a suitable spot for our experiment. I found just the right spot that was drenched in abundant sunshine and appeared to be scorching hot. I cracked the egg and carefully deposited it on the steaming sidewalk. We all watched expecting that egg to start sizzling any second. It didn’t. After several minutes of watching and waiting I looked at Russell and said, “Your ol’ man doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” I turned and went to get the hose to remove the evidence from the sidewalk. Another urban myth busted. I know it was hot that day so many years ago but it seems like today it’s even hotter. I wonder if we have any eggs in the ice box?

Fort Atkinson was first and largest fort west of Missouri River BY TERRY TURNER
FORT CALHOUN, Neb. – It was on July 30, 1804, that the Lewis and Clark Expedition set up camp in an area that would later become the first and largest military fort west of the Missouri River. It was there the expedition met with Oto and Missouri Indians. That meeting led to the name “Council Bluff” (not to be confused with the city of Council Bluffs). Clark later recommended the site as the location for a fort. United States Secretary of War John C. Calhoun authorized the Yellowstone Expedition in 1818 to establish a series of forts to protect early pioneers as well as fur trappers and traders as they pushed further into the western wilderness. A fort later named Fort Atkinson was established near the Council Bluff site. That fort would turn out to be the only accomplishment of the Yellowstone Expedition. When the Yellowstone Expedition began their trek, the American Revolution was just 36 years in the past. Many of those soldiers were veterans of the War of 1812 and all were part of the Sixth Infantry and Rifle Regiment. The Sixth Infantry would rendezvous with the Rifle Regiment at St. Louis and begin the arduous 2,700-mile

about 160 men died that first winter. The following spring brought flooding on the Missouri and the camp was forced to move to higher ground above Council Bluff, and this was where Fort Atkinson was established. In spite of all the hardships Fort Atkinson was completed, and at one point more than 1,000 men were stationed at the fort, which was about 1/4 of the standing U.S. Army. It was Nebraska’s first military post, which also had the first school, library and large-scale agriculture/livestock operation in the state. The mission of the fort was to protect the growing fur trade and to keep the peace with the many Indian tribes in the area. The fort was in the shape of a square with each side 200 yards long. The roof sloped to the inside courtyard and the doors and windows opened in the same direction. Each room had an elongated opening on the

outside wall called an embrasure so soldiers could defend the fort from any direction. The design of the fort was state-of-the-art for the time. Fort Atkinson was in operation for about eight years and was in need of repair, but Congress refused to grant the necessary $3,000 to do the job. Because the western migration was taking a more southern route, it was decided the fort was no longer needed. In just a few years all evidence of the oncehuge garrison was gone, and the area was turned
into farmland. Efforts to reclaim the fort from the fields began as early as 1919 when a local committee was formed to celebrate the centennial of the founding of the fort. Then in 1961 local citizens banded together to restore and preserve the historic site. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission agreed to buy the land if the group could fund half the cost. The Fort Atkinson Foundation, the Greater Omaha Historical Society and the Washington County Historical Society, in cooperation with the

Omaha World Herald, organized a successful fundraising campaign, and the commission took title to the land two years later. In
1962 the fort was designated as a National Historic Landmark. The first building constructed was the Harold W. Andersen
After extensive archeological research, the fort was reconstructed in accurate detail. Today visitors can walk through its many buildings and rooms and experience what life was like for those stationed there. Fort Atkinson hosts several living-history weekends during the year that feature volunteers recreating the lives of the soldiers, artisans, and civilians who lived in and around the outpost. Interpretive hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all living-history days. The fort also offers an annual candlelight tour, complete with a scripted, firstperson mystery dramatization of actual historic events that took place on the grounds. This year’s living-history weekends are Aug. 6-7, Sept. 3-4 and Oct. 1-2. The Candlelight Tour is Nov. 5. August 2016 | 11
