Wednesday, November 30, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 11 NewKplanK Sisters Country birds toKhelpK disabledK OregoniansK saveK ByKDouglasKBeall Correspondent PORTLAND (AP) — A new state program will soon allow Oregonians with disabilities to save money without fear of los- ing their state or federal benefits. KNKX-FM reports that Oregon lawmakers created the new saving program fol- lowing the passage of a 2014 federal law, which paved the way for people with disabili- ties to open tax-advantage savings accounts without dis- qualifying them from their benefits. The program is open to anyone who was diagnosed with a disability before the age of 26. Individuals can contribute up to $14,000 a year. The money in the plans can be used tax-free on qualified disability-related expenses. The state will begin rolling out the new program, dubbed the “Oregon ABLE Savings Plan,” on December 6. The American kestrel (Falco sparverius) is our most common small falcon. Often seen on fence posts and telephone wires, this 8- to 12-inch tall bird is also known as the sparrowhawk. They build their nests in cavities in trees, rock walls and even buildings. The male will choose several nest sites and present them to the female — and she makes the final decision. No nesting material is used except what is already in the cavity. Incubation of four to six mottled yellowish-white eggs for 26 to 32 days is shared by both male and female kestrels and then the hatchlings are fed grass- hoppers, moths, lizards, moles, mice and large vari- ety of insects as they grow at a rapid pace. Fledging begins in 28 to 31 days, and then the chicks for several months are taught to hunt for themselves. For the last 17 years Don McCartney has installed nesting boxes throughout Starts Friday Fri., Dec. 2 – Thurs., Dec. 8 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (PG-13) Fri 4:30, 7:15 Sat-Sun 1:45. 4:30, 7:15 Mon-Thurs 4:30, 7:15 Dec 3 / Sat / 10 AM -4 PM Holiday A Art Bazaar r Extravaganza Ex Art Food & Festive Music!

This program has enabled the kestrels to maintain a healthy population as more nesting trees are removed and falcon habitat is shrinking. Kestrels in groups are called a “hover,” a “flight” or a “soar.” On the British Isles the European kestrel is called a “windhover.” For more American Kestrel photos visit http:// abirdsingsbecauseithasa song.com/recent-journeys.
