Local Boy Creates Codes To Market The Livestock Show By Erick Peterson For the past three years, Tyler King has been showing animals at the upcoming Central Washington Junior Livestock Show. This year, in addition to showing animals, he is creating QR codes to help promote the show. The Central Washington Junior Livestock Show is May 4 to 7 at the Toppenish Rodeo Grounds (500 S. Division St.). QR codes are the square-shaped
squiggles commonly found on print advertisements. People can use their smart phones, with the help of the right application, to scan these boxes and discover new information. QR codes can direct people to pictures, videos or other advertisement. King, an 11-year-old homeschool student, said that many people, particularly older people, do not pay much attention to these codes. More and more younger people, however, frequently take note of them. He, for example, actively looks for them. “You don’t even think about them, but when you know what they are, you see them everywhere,” he said. He remembers that he first discovered them while browsing the Internet. Once he discovered what they are, he started looking for them, first going to Walmart. To his surprise, they were located on many different products, and they were helpful. A QR code found on a bicycle, for instance, directed him to more information about the bike. Still new to the world of QR codes, he shared this information with his mother, who encouraged his interest. Together, they started collecting the codes and scanning them wherever they could find them. In an average day, they scan five to 20 QR codes. They see so many of them nowadays, King and his

Harrah Christian School Sets Fundraiser, Auction
By Erick Peterson Now in its 30th year, the Harrah Community Christian School annual benefit auction is more than a much-needed funding source for the school. It is a longstanding event that has become a local tradition. This year’s auction is May 2 at Harrah Community Christian School (50 Dane Ave., Harrah). The silent auction starts at 5:30 p.m. and the live auction is at 6:30. Landon Lommers, auction committee member, said that the event gives people a chance to pick up interesting goods such as a beach house rental, Seahawk and Mariner sports memorabilia, household items and car-care items. Bidders may also purchase stained glass windows from the old church that is now the school. More importantly, however, attendees have the chance to support the school and students, as proceeds from the auction help offset tuition costs. It also helps to pay for the upkeep of the school. Last year’s auction pulled in about $22,500, according to Lommers, who expects an even bigger payday this year as this is the 30th anniversary auction. He said that this is one of the school’s two major fund-raisers, along with the annual barbecue booth, maintained at the annual Central Washington State Fair in Yakima. “We depend on this auction,” he said, “and the community depends on this school.” Harrah Community Christian

School, now in its 33rd year of operation, predates the auction by just a few years. During its many years, the school has offered a Christian-based education for students throughout the Yakima Valley, from Yakima to Zillah and beyond. “This is not just a Harrah thing, though many of Attendees at last year’s Harrah Community Christian School auction packed the school, bidour students ding on items and supporting the school. are from Harrah,” he community member who believes provided. said. that the school is important in the “I think that most people, when He boasts that local support area, but he also thanks supporters they get up close and see the work has been overwhelming, as many because he is a parent of one of the being done at this school, have a individuals and local businesses school’s students.

DSHS Offices Centralizing More Services In Toppenish
By Erick Peterson By Aug. 31, the Toppenish office of the state Department of Social and Health Services (4 E. Third Ave.) will be twice its current size, and the Wapato office (102 N. Wapato Ave.) will close, according to John Wiley, Department of Social and Health Services media relations manager. He said that this was a decision made by the DSHS facilities management managers. They noticed that the lease for the Wapato building would expire at the end of August, and they saw this as an opportunity for the department to become more efficient. The Wapato building, which is 23,000 square feet, is too large for DSHS needs, he said. Offices currently housed inside the building do not make use of the entire space. The building is about 8,000 feet too big, according to Wiley. Meanwhile, a few miles away, the Toppenish office has 10,000 square feet of its own space, which it uses to house the DSHS Children’s Department and other offices. Each of these offices has its own meeting space and equipment that employees could share if they were located in the same building. “In order to get some efficiencies and cost-savings, we put out requests for proposals in both Wapato and Toppenish and looked for something in the area of 20,000 feet,” Wiley said. DSHS received one response from the proposals, and that was from the owner of the building it currently leases in Toppenish. That owner offered to expand the current building to create the necessary space. Now at just under 10,000 square feet, expansion would add an additional 10,000 feet to the building, providing the room that DSHS requires. In addition to becoming more efficient, the merged office will make the DSHS more convenient for many of its Lower Valley clients. Wiley said that often people enter the office looking for help from
The DSHS building in Toppenish will double in size by Aug. 31 to make room for DSHS departments currently housed in Wapato.
multiple DSHS offices. Frequently, these clients need to visit the office in Wapato and then go to the Toppenish office for other services. After these offices merge, clients may receive all the help they need under a single roof. Wiley called this “one-stop service.” He also said services will continue undiminished, and that people will be able to gain all the assistance they do now. In addition to finding help at the Toppenish office, they will still be able to use the Internet or phonebased service to maintain or change eligibility. “We will continue to provide access to same area,” Wiley said, “but we are trying to do more with less and most people just don’t need an office where they need to enter.” Construction is in the design and
planning stage now, he said, but work could start quickly. A quick start is necessary to meet the Aug. 31 deadline.
The offices will remain open through this construction and there should be no delay in service, according to Wiley.

We Need Punishment For Crooks Who Rip Off Public
By Don C. Brunell Steal $200,000 from a bank and you’ll go to prison. Steal $200,000 from the taxpayers and you’ll probably get a slap on the wrist. A Chicago man was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for stealing $250,000 from a bank. In Brunell San Diego, a burglar who stole nearly $250,000 worth of jewelry was sentenced to four years in prison. In Portland, a man who stole $221,000 from taxpayers got six months in jail. For almost 10 years, Jason Boutros illegally collected disability, Medicaid and food stamp payments. He even lived in Lebanon part of that time, but his absence went unnoticed because the government conveniently deposited the money directly into his U.S. bank account. What tipped off authorities? Even though Boutros was unemployed, he managed to afford flashy jewelry,
foreign vacations and a Mercedes. Boutros’ sentence requires him to repay the $221,000 he stole from taxpayers. But it’s unlikely we’ll get all our money back, since Boutros doesn’t have a job. Sometimes folks who steal from the taxpayers do get long prison sentences. In Florida, Rashia Wilson was sentenced to 21 years in prison last summer for filing fraudulent tax returns that netted her an estimated $20 million. Authorities said the arrest was the result of a two-year investigation. They should have just read Wilson’s Facebook posts in which she bragged about stealing millions and called herself “the queen of IRS tax fraud.” Sometimes, stealing from taxpayers is a well-organized scheme on a grand scale. In 2008, the New York Times revealed rampant fraud in the federally administered disability program for the Long Island Rail Road. Investigators estimated that, had it continued, the scheme could have netted criminals $1 billion. In a recent update, the Times reported, “Overall, 33 people have
been criminally charged; 28 pleaded guilty and five more were convicted in Manhattan federal court. In addition, 44 former employees with the railroad avoided prosecution by admitting to their role in the fraud and agreed to the termination of their benefits.” What? Forty-four employees escaped prosecution simply by agreeing to stop taking the illegal benefits? Do bank robbers go free if they agree to return the loot? It’s not likely taxpayers will get their money back. In one case, the judge sentenced 60-year old James Maher, a former railroad conductor, to perform 300 hours of community service and repay $347,481 in fraudulently obtained benefits. Maher negotiated a repayment rate of $400 a month, giving him more than 72 years to pay back what he stole. We’ll get our money back if Maher lives to be 132. What’s worse, the system that allowed this massive fraud remains in effect. In February, the inspector general for the United States Railroad Retirement Board reported that 96 percent of those seeking disability payments
from the Long Island Rail Road are approved – roughly the same rate as before the scandal. The I.G. noted that even after the Retirement Board instituted “reforms,” the board upheld the dubious disability claims of seven retirees who later pleaded guilty to disability fraud. But even this billion-dollar fraud scheme pales in comparison to Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Government officials estimate that criminals steal $100 billion each year from Medicare and Medicaid. In February, one woman in Washington, D. C. was arrested for filing $75 million in fraudulent claims. Investigators say that, in some circles, defrauding entitlement programs has replaced drug dealing as the crime of choice. Until federal officials intensify their efforts to find and prosecute fraud — and until judges impose tougher sentences on these criminals — we can expect more of the same. Something to think about during income tax season. (Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business.)

Tom The Nebraska Mule Goes For A Great Ride
By Baxter Black, DVM Rarely do I hear a bad mule story, especially in conversations comparing mules to horses. Mules are held up most often as having common sense, calmness in a wreck, not having sense of humor, and sleight of hand (or hoof) tricks. Hank was wintering some big steers on corn stalks in the corn stalk state of Nebraska. On the day of the “great ride,” Hank had climbed aboard his big saddle mule, 16 hands tall, ears as big as swinging doors on the Gatorade refrigerator in the Cornhuskers locker room, and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in the time it takes to spell Thayer County Fair!
He named the mule Tom, after a revered football coach. Hank made a pass through the steers. The ground was covered with three inches of snow. There was a layer of frozen ice covering the field but
the soil was still soft and moist. A hot wire kept the steers from drifting into the road. Hank was a former rodeo man and capable with a rope. He spotted a steer that was not lookin’ too good. It needed a shot. All of you who have rode wheat grass pasture realize most set-ups have a trap into which you can drive a sick steer, but if you are like Hank and are a mem-
ber of the Senior Trippers, there’s a better way. He roped the steer around the horns and laid the trip. The steer flipped around and flopped to the ground. Hank jumped down and tied the steer’s feet together with a piggin’ string. He reached up to peel the rope off the steer’s horns. Tom spooked. The rope came tight and pinned Hank’s right hand in a vise grip, not unlike a bull rider’s hand when the bull takes his first deep breath. Tom took off running, taking long strides, dragging the steer across the ice-covered terrain of corn stubble. The steer floated like a sled behind him. Hank was anchored to the steer’s head, stretched out headfirst like a luge in the Olympics. Occasionally he would flop from one side
to the other and flattened his own share of the corn stubble. It was more of a sprint than a long distance course. When the mule pulled up at the pasture gate and stopped Hank managed to free his hand and the rope. He staggered to one knee. The trail behind them was littered with his hat, medicine bag, and the right leg of his chinks. His right pocket was ripped off his jeans and he was pock-marked from the pelting of mud divots that clung to his face like manure on the inside of his trailer gate. The steer was no worse for the wear and Tom had gotten his brains back. Hank crossed himself and gave thanks that the gate was closed or they would have been drug another quarter-mile to the house.

Time To Push Back Against Those Pesky Telemarketers By Karen Helsel I just got off the phone with a very annoying person, who said he was from the Microsoft Technical Department and that I had a very dangerous virus he wanted to help me fix. He tried to convince me that he would show me the dangerous things on my computer that I Helsel had not purposely downloaded, and he would get rid of them. I told him that I have a computer technician who works on my equipment. He replied, “Oh, don’t do that anymore. He is not a legitimate Microsoft Technical Department
employee. That is very dangerous.” He spoke with an East Indian accent, and finally I said, “Where are you calling from?” He said, “I told you I am from the legitimate Microsoft Technical Department and we are randomly calling customers who have these problems.” I asked, “How many random calls have you made?” He said, “There are about 1.8 million Microsoft customers. We are just choosing some of them today to receive this special offer.” I knew if it was “legitimate” he would not be calling me. It would have helped if he could have said the word “legitimate” correctly. He finally told me he was calling from the London office. I told him I didn’t want to change anything, but he kept talking. I finally had to

stop being so polite. I told him what my boss says when she’s frustrated, “You are getting on my last nerve.” He said, “I’m going to transfer you to my supervisor.” So the next guy comes on, and he tells me the same story, and I said, “I am not giving you access to change anything on my computer from a random phone call into my home.” I don’t even know what he said but he hung up. Sometimes when I’ve had those kinds of conversations, I think of things I should have said. Maybe something like... “Did you know that God really loves you, but I’m having a hard time putting up with this?” “Have you fixed your own computer viruses yet? Just give me your passwords and I’ll take of YOUR

computer.” “Legitimate” is pronounced, “laji-ti-met.” I should have used some of the things my husband used to say to telemarketers. One often called during dinner. One night Marvin started talking to the caller and said, “Where are you from?” “Are you married? Do you have kids?” “I bet your kids are great. Are they into sports?” “Does your wife work too?” On and on and on. Finally the man was getting frustrated, and he said, “I’m sorry; I don’t have time for this.” Marvin replied, “I don’t either,” and hung up. We were removed from telemarketer lists from then on... well, until today, I guess! (Helsel, a resident of Sunnyside, is a certified mental health counselor.)

WOLFGANG PUCK’S KITCHEN EAST-WEST ROAST LEG OF LAMB Serves 8 to 12 1 boneless leg of lamb, 4 to 5 pounds SOY-HONEY MARINADE: 1-1/2 cups light soy sauce 1/4 cup honey 1 cup minced scallions 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes FOR ROASTING: Extra-virgin olive oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper YOGURT-OREGANO-MINT VINAIGRETTE: 24 fresh oregano leaves 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves 1/2 cup packed fresh Italian parsley leaves 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted in a small, dry pan over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons dry mustard powder 2 cups peanut oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper First, if the lamb came from the butcher rolled and tied, snip the strings, unroll it and trim it of excess fat or connective tissue. Place the meat in as even a layer as possible in a nonreactive baking dish. Set it aside. For the Soy-Honey Marinade: In a mixing bowl, stir together the soy sauce and honey until the honey dissolves. Stir in the scallions and red pepper flakes. Pour the marinade over the lamb, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 6 hours, turning
the meat over halfway through. Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat it dry all over with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Put the lamb in a roasting pan, season all over with a little salt and pepper, and drizzle all over with olive oil. Leave the lamb at room temperature while you preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Roll up the meat back into a compact cylinder and tie it securely with several lengths of kitchen string, returning it to the roasting pan. Roast until the lamb is medium-rare, when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140 degrees F., about 1 hour. While the lamb is roasting, prepare the Yogurt-Oregano-Mint Vinaigrette: Put the oregano, mint, parsley, pine nuts, yogurt, honey and mustard powder in a blender. Pulse the machine on and off several times, and then blend until the mixture is smoothly pureed, stopping once or twice to scrape down the bowl. Then, with the machine running, slowly pour in the peanut oil through the hole in the lid. Stop the machine, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Pour the vinaigrette into a nonreactive container, cover and refrigerate until serving time. When the lamb is done, remove it from the oven, transfer to a carving board, cover with aluminum foil, and leave to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, carve and serve the lamb, passing the vinaigrette as a sauce or condiment at the table. (c) 2014 WOLFGANG PUCK WORLDWIDE, INC. DISTRIBUTED BY TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

Where To Get Help With Your Medicare Decisions
By Jim Miller Dear Savvy Senior, Where can I get help with my Medicare decisions? I’m approaching 65, and could use some help sorting through the different Medicare plan options that are available to me. — Almost Eligible Dear Almost, The options and choices available to Medicare beneficiaries today can be overwhelming. In addition to original Medicare (Part A and B) that has been around for 49 years, you also have the option of enrolling in a Part D prescription drug plan, and a supplemental (Medigap) policy — both of which are sold by private insurance companies. Or, a Medicare Advantage plan which covers health care, prescription drugs and extra services all in one. These plans, which are also sold by private insurers, are gener-
ally available through HMOs and The Medicare website also offers PPOs. a free “Plan Finder” tool at mediTo help you figure out the Medicare.gov/find-a-plan that can help care plans for you, there are a variyou find and compare health plans, ety of services and tools available supplemental policies and prescriptoday depending on how much help tion drug plans in your area.

Advantage and supplemental plans in your area and connect you to a licensed insurance agent. In addition, the Medicare Rights Center (medicarerights.org) staffs a hotline at 800-333-4114 to help answer your Medicare questions. And your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) provides free Medicare counseling in person or over the phone. To find a local SHIP counselor see shiptalk. org, or call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116. And for tips on choosing a top Medicare Advantage plan, see the HealthMetrix Research Cost Share Report at medicarenewswatch.com. This resource lists the best Advantage plans by area based on your health status. Fee-based Services If the free services don’t cut the mustard and you need some additional help in making your Medicare decisions, there are a handful of fee-based companies that are very helpful. One of the best is Allsup Inc. (ama.allsup.com, 866-521-7655) which offers a Medicare Adviser service that takes your personal information online or over the phone, such as the prescription drugs you take and the doctors you use, and provides you customized advice on the best Medicare plans that match your needs and budget. They’ll even help you enroll in the plan(s) you select. Fees for their services range between $200 and $495 depending on how much help you need. Another option is Healthcare Navigation (healthcarenavigation. com, 877-811-8211), which charges $750 for a 90-minute comprehensive Medicare consultation. Commission-based Another way to get help with your Medicare enrollment is to consult an independent insurance agent. Agents typically get paid a commission to sell you a policy, although they offer plans from a number of providers. The Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America have a directory on their website (indpendentagent.com/contactus) that lets you search for agents in your area. But keep in mind that agents typically specialize in the Medicare plans they represent, rather than all the plans in your market. (Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Miller is a contributor to the NBC “Today” show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.)

Book Lists Valley Among Dog-Friendly Travel Areas
National Geographic Books has released “The Dog Lover’s Guide to Travel” which includes dog-friendly businesses, attractions and outdoor areas in 75 pet-friendly cities and regions across the United States and Canada. The Yakima Valley is one of six communities in the Pacific Northwest featured in the book. The book was written by Kelly Carter, a New York Times best-selling author and pet travel expert for AOL’s PawNation and Elite Traveler. In each destination Carter highlights pet offerings including hotels, parks, pet shops and pet friendly businesses. Features of the book include walks to take with your dog, insider tips from local pet owners and sidebars detailing opportunities for people with a dog in tow. Yakima Valley Tourism ap proached Carter in early 2013 as the book was being developed. In 2012 the tourism office had created WineDoggies.com, an award-winning program to assist visitors traveling with their dogs to the Valley. “When we found out she was writing this book we knew the Ya-
kima Valley was the right fit,” said John Cooper, president and CEO of Yakima Valley Tourism. “We enjoyed working with Ms. Carter and are honored our community was included.” WineDoggies.com provides pet-friendly businesses and mustsee stops in the region. It also includes a “Doggie Bloggie” hosted by a local canine, an interactive map of 50 plus dog-friendly businesses with open-pet policies and a section where dog-friendly businesses and guests can add pictures and stories of their dogs enjoying Washington’s wine country. In addition to featuring the Wine Doggies website, the book highlights numerous Yakima Valley walking and hiking trails, local pet services, dog-friendly wineries and pet events. The other Northwest cities included in the book are Seattle, Portland, Bend, Coeur d’Alene and Missoula.
