SENIOR SCENE: How to cover dental care in retirement

Dear Savvy Senior, I had dental insurance through my work for many years but lost it when I retired and joined Medicare. Where can retirees nd a ordable dental care?

Uninsured Al

Dear Al,

Unfortunately, about twothirds of U.S. retirees don’t have dental insurance today. Without coverage from traditional Medicare, and with private dental insurance typically costing too much to be feasible, most seniors are stuck paying full out-ofpocket prices every time they visit a dentist. While there’s no one simple solution to a ordable dental care there are a variety of options that can help cut your costs. Here’s where to look.

Medicare Advantage: While dental services are mostly excluded under original Medicare, many Medicare Advantage plans do provide coverage for dental care, but it’s usually very limited. Medicare

Advantage plans are government approved health plans (usually HMOs and PPOs) sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. To shop and research Advantage plans in your area visit Medicare.gov/plan-compare or call 800-633-4227.

Dental insurance: If you have gum problems and need extensive dental care, a dental insurance plan may be worth the costs versus paying for care yourself.

Monthly premiums for individual plans range from about $20 to $80. A typical plan includes two or three cleanings and checkups per year, but these plans will likely have a waiting period –anywhere from a few months to a few years – before coverage for more expensive procedures kicks in. To nd dental plans in your area, see eHealthInsurance.com.

Dental savings plans: While savings plans aren’t as comprehensive as insurance, they are a good option for those who don’t

have dental insurance. How this works is you pay an annual membership fee – around $80 to $200 a year – in exchange for 10 to 60 percent discounts on service and treatments from participating dentists. To nd a savings plan, go to DentalPlans.com (or 888-632-5353) where you can search for plans and participating dentists, as well as get a breakdown of the discounts o ered.

Veterans’ bene ts: If you’re a veteran enrolled in the VA health care program or are a bene ciary of the Civilian Health and Medical Program (CHAMPVA), the VA o ers a dental insurance program that gives you the option to buy dental insurance through Delta Dental and MetLife at a reduced cost. e VA also provides free dental care to vets who have dental problems resulting from service. To learn more about these options, visit VA.gov/ dental or call 877-222-8387. Cheaper dental care: Because prices can vary by dentist, one way to

ensure you get a good deal on your dental care is to call multiple provides and compare prices. To get an idea of what di erent dental procedures cost in your area, see FairHealthConsumer.org. If you’re paying cash, it’s also perfectly reasonable to ask your dentist for a discount. ere are also a number health centers and clinics that provide low-cost dental care to those in need. And all university dental schools and college dental hygiene

programs o er dental care and cleanings for less than half of what you would pay at a dentist’s o ce. Students who are supervised by their professors provide the care. See TeethWisdom.org to search for a center, clinic or school near you. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “ e Savvy Senior” book.

Council postpones vote on capital improvement plan

By Brett Davis Contributing writer

e Eatonville Town Council unanimously voted to table a resolution adopting the 2023-27 Capital Improvement Plan until its Feb. 13 meeting.

Councilmember Bill Dunn said

he was concerned that items on the transportation improvement plan passed by the council in 2019 were not on the six-year capital improvement plan.

“One of the concerns I have with the street projects is the transportation improvement plan is still in e ect through 2024,” he

said at the Jan. 23 council meeting. “So, if we’re going to adopt a capital improvement plan that deviates from that mission, so to speak, then there are a lot of projects that aren’t done on there that probably could be added to this, unless council wanted to modify that 2019 transportation improvement plan.”

Dunn said this could possibly lead to a substantial increase in utilities rates for customers.

e $23.7 million capital improvement plan is a comprehensive series of street, water, electric, stormwater, parks, solid waste, sewer, facilities and airport projects.

Washington farm intern bill sails through the Senate

By Brett Davis e Center Square

By a vote of 49-0, the Washington State Senate has passed legislation expanding Washington state’s farm internship program.

Substitute Senate Bill 5156 expands the pilot program that allows students to experience farming activities and practices to all counties in the state, as well as removing the program's expiration date.

Passed Jan. 25, the bill is meant to grow Washington’s agricultural sector in order to decrease food insecurity and hunger in the state.

Agriculture makes up about 12 percent of the state’s overall economy, per the Washington Farm Bureau, and is Washington’s second-largest export category. According to the Washington State Department of Agriculture, the state’s top commodities are apples, milk, cattle, wheat, potatoes, hay, hops, cherries, grapes and blueberries.

“This is a great opportunity for those who want to learn how to farm or learn how to run a farm,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Nikki Torres, R-Pasco, in a news release. “This will be a big boom for those who want to work in the hop industry, given that more than 70 percent of the nation’s hops are grown in central Washington, specifically, the 15th District.”

The rural 15th Legislative District Torres represents includes parts of five central Washington counties where agriculture

dominates.

The state’s production of hops is valued at $482.2 million, the WSDA says.

“This bill will help expand the farm intern program across the state and make it permanent, helping those would-be farmers who currently want to participate, but are ineligible because of the county in which they happen to live,” Torres said.

SB 5156 now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Anthony Richard Kopec

July 20, 1937 to January 19, 2023

Anthony “Tony” Richard Kopec went home to be with his Lord at the age of 85 on Thursday, January 19, 2023. He was a devoted husband and loving father.

Next to God, his family was the most important thing in life to him.

Tony was born on July 20, 1937, in Chicago, Illinois, to Antoni and Benigna (Rolewicz) Kopec. He grew up in a Polish community on the south side of Chicago where he graduated from St. Bronislava Primary School and Bowen High School. He had an older half-brother, Harry, and an older half-sister, Balbina, and one younger sister, Katherine. He married his first wife Carolyn in 1960 and together they had four children: Cheryl, Michael, David and Julianne. Tony worked in computers during this time at various companies in downtown Chicago. In 1972 that marriage ended in divorce, and eventually Tony moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he worked for the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company in Omaha, Nebraska. He met his wife, Barbara, during this time, and they were married in April of 1978. In 1979 they moved to the Tacoma area to be near his four children who were living in Bonney Lake, Washington, at the time. He and Barbara moved to Eatonville in 1986. He continued to work as a map draftsman for the engineering department of AT&T until 1988. He then started his own window washing and painting business in the Eatonville area, and also read water and electric meters for the Town of Eatonville for a number of years. He retired from his business in 1999 when he and Barbara traveled to Romania to work in an orphanage for six months.

He is survived by his wife Barbara (Opitz) Kopec of Eatonville, daughter Cheryl Kopec of Tacoma, son Michael (Donna) Kopec of Puyallup, son David Kopec of Elbe, and daughter Julianne (Donnie) Landsman of Mesa, Arizona; granddaughters Chelsey (Aaron) Springer and Chelsey’s sister Tara and family, Chrystyanna Van Dyke, Katrynna Landsman, and Kyrstynn Landsman. He was preceded in death by his parents, half-brother Harry, half-sister Balbina, and sister Katherine.

A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. at the Eatonville Baptist Church in Eatonville, Washington. In lieu of flowers, the family requests any donations in his memory be directed to Homespun Ministries, Eatonville, WA

February may be known as the shortest month of the year, but it also can be among the coldest. When cooking during this time of year, whether it's a family meal or a romantic dinner for two on Valentine's Day, foods that take the cold weather into consideration are the best bets.

Cottage pie is a meal traditionally served in areas of Great Britain and Ireland. e name is sometimes used interchangeably with shepherd's pie, but that's a mistake. While shepherd's pie uses lamb in the recipe, cottage pie contains beef. Cottage pie features a layer of meat and vegetables topped with potatoes. Some people opt for a mashed potato topping, others arrange thin slices of potatoes to look like "shingles" on the cottage. is recipe for "Cottage Pies" from "Real Simple Dinner Tonight: Done" (Time Home Entertainment) from the editors of Real Simple prepares the pies into individual servings. ey can be prepared up to two days in advance and then baked straight from the refrigerator as needed.

Lady Cruisers lose 2 of 3, retain second

By Skip Smith

Contributing writer

e Lady Cruisers started out last week by hosting the rst-place Montesano Bulldogs on Jan. 25 in hopes of knocking them o and handing them their rst league loss.

Unfortunately, this game was like their rst meeting with the Bulldogs winning easily, 66-23.

e Lady Cruisers turned things around on ursday when they headed to Brock Court in Tenino where they defeated the Beavers, 43-27, behind Bailey Andersen's game-high 20 points.

e Cruisers played without starters Bailey and Ryan Stammen as they nished out the week in Orting.

e Cardinals opened up a nine-point lead on the Cruisers entering the second quarter.

e Cruisers chipped away at the lead in the second half to nd themselves down by only two points late in the game.

With less than a minute to play and trailing by two, the Cruisers inbounded the ball and dumped it down low to Lillian Bickford, who scored to tie the game.

Orting's Emma Copeland was fouled and headed to the line to shoot two free throws. She missed the rst but hit the second to give the Cardinals a one-point lead with 20 seconds to play.

Eatonville had a chance to tie it up and take the lead on free throws with 15 seconds le to play. e two shots were o the mark, however, and Orting rebounded and Copeland was fouled and headed back to the line for two shots. She hit the rst to give Orting a two-point advantage but missed the second. Eatonville rebounded the ball but did not have enough time to get o a shot and fell 31-29.

e Lady Cruisers will hold Senior Night on Wednesday at home versus the Hoquiam Grizzlies in a crucial Evergreen
