GALICE AND ILLINOIS VALLEY
RANGER DISTRICTS OFFER 30-DAY
NOTICE TO COMMENT . The Forest Ser-
vice, Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest,
Galice and Illinois Valley Ranger Districts,
would like to authorize harvest of special forest
products. Special forest products covered un-
der this proposal include: beargrass, berries,
specialty wood products (cedar shakes, cedar
arrowwood, burls, cascara bark, pitchwood,
and, quinine conks), boughs, cones, foliage,
fuelwood, moss, edible mushrooms, various
tree and shrub transplants, rails, posts, poles,
and Christmas trees. This action falls within two
categories of actions listed in the Forest Service
NEPA Handbook (FSH) and are potentially ex-
cluded from documentation in an Environmental
Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS).
Preliminary analysis has
found no extraordinary circumstances that
would preclude use of these categories found in
FSH 1909.15: Chapter 31.12 - subsection 8(c):
Approving the gathering of forest products for
personal use; and the second category in sec-
tion 31.2 - subsection 12(a): Removal of indi-
vidual trees for sawlogs, specialty products, or
fuelwood. Removal of the above products do
not normally incur ground disturbance. The
exception, where more than minor disturbance
to the duff layer may occur, is during the gather-
ing of fuelwood and wood posts. No mecha-
nized equipment such as loaders or tractors
would be allowed for skidding the posts or in
the removal of fuelwood. This comment pe-
riod provides those interested in or affected
by this proposal an opportunity to make
their concerns known prior to a decision
being made by the Responsible Official. It is
being provided pursuant to the July 2 and Sep-
tember 16, 2005, orders issued by the U. S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Califor-
nia in Case No. CIV F-03-6386JKS. Comments
must meet the information requirements of 36
CFR 215.6. Only those who provide timely and
substantive comments will be eligible to appeal
the decision pursuant to 36 CFR part 215 regu-
lations. Comments received in response to this
solicitation, including names and addresses of
those who comment, will be considered part of
the public record and will be available for public
inspection.
How to Comment and Timeframe: Written,
facsimile, hand-delivered, oral, and electronic
comments will be accepted for 30 calendar
days following publication of this notice in the
Grants Pass Daily Courier. The publication
date in the newspapers of record is the exclu-
sive means for calculating the comment period
for this proposal. You should not rely upon
dates or timeframe information provided by any
other source. Written comments must be sub-
mitted to: Michael Dearborn, Pacific Zone Envi-
ronmental Coordinator, 29279 Ellensburg Ave-
nue, Gold Beach, OR 97444, or telephone

delivered comments are: 8:00 AM-4:30 PM,
Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Oral comments must be provided during normal
business hours via telephone or in person.

New Medicare prescription
plan causes AARP queries
One in seven
Oregonians is facing
a critical choice right
now: selecting an
insurance plan to
cover their prescrip-
tion drugs under the
new Medicare pre-
scription-drug bene-
fit.
The drug bene-
fit, know as Medi-
care Part D, will go
into effect Jan.1,
2006, and is different
from the way most
people now obtain
coverage from other
health services under
Medicare. The bene-
fit allows everyone
on Medicare to vol-
untarily buy a pre-
scription drug insur-
ance policy -- subsi-
dized and regulated
by
Medicare
-- from an array of
private companies.
“We are con-
cerned that benefici-
aries will be over-
whelmed and just
throw up their hands
at the whole proc-
ess,” said Jerry
Cohen, AARP Ore-
gon state director.
“There are more than
20 companies in
Oregon offering
some 70 plans with
different premiums,
co-pays, participat-
ing pharmacies and
medications covered.
It can be bewilder-
ing,” he said.
His parents,
both in their 90s,
have asked Cohen
for help determining
what they should do
when it comes to the
new plan. The cou-
ple’s
questions
ranged from whether
to continue their
supplemental insur-
ance policy, to keep-
ing their free medi-
cations provided by
a drug manufacturer.
Looking over
their
situation,
Cohen found that his
parents qualify for
low-income assis-
tance, and he’s mak-
ing sure that they fill
out the Social Secu-
rity Administration
form to receive it.
Seniors with
limited incomes may
qualify for a reduc-
tion in their premi-
ums or deductibles.
“More than 45
percent of Orego-
nians will qualify for
some level of sub-
sidy,” said Cohen.
He added that if
people don’t exam-
ine their options,
they could lose their
chance to pay less
for their prescription
drugs and, by wait-
ing, find that they
have to pay addi-
tional costs in late
fees.
He pointed out
that people should be
reviewing different
plans now to be
ready to sign up on
Nov. 15, 2005, the
first day to join a
plan.
Coverage will
begin on Jan. 1, 2006
for those who join by
Dec. 31, 2005.
The last day to
join a plan without
paying a higher pre-
mium is May 15,
2006.
According to
Cohen, AARP Ore-
gon is working hard
to make sure that
individuals have the
information they
need to make the
best choices for
them; that the infor-
mation is credible;
and that they know
where to go in the
community to get
help.
“AARP Oregon
is ready to arm bene-
ficiaries with the
power to make smart
and
sensible
choices,” he said.
The AARP out-
reach effort is fo-
cused on resource
materials including a
free,
easy-to-
understand booklet
that explains the new
benefit clearly and
objectively.
Thousands of
the booklets are be-
ing distributed across
Oregon to libraries,
senior centers, em-
ployers,
and
churches.
AARP Oregon,
said Cohen, is pro-
viding checklists and
other printed materi-
als to help the elderly
and disabled make
informed choices.
The
campaign's
theme is “Get Ready,
Get Set, Enroll!”
Also, AARP
Oregon is supporting
organizations such as
the Senior Health
Insurance Benefits
Assistance Program
(SHIBA), which is
providing individual
counseling either in
person or by tele-
phone.
“We have re-
cruited volunteers
for SHIBA and are
working closely with
the organization to
help them in their
efforts,” said Cohen.
Cohen urged
Medicare beneficiar-
ies to start their
homework now.
“If you put in
the effort, the results
can be lower pre-
scription drug costs
and long-term pro-
tection for future
medication needs,”
he said. “And that
should bring some
peace of mind to
thousands of Oregon
families.”
The new drug
coverage in Medi-
care is a major step
in making drugs
more affordable for
older individuals. It
will help keep peo-
ple active, working
and independent
longer. AARP is
stepping up its ef-
forts again the high
and rising costs of
prescription drugs.
Among
key
activities:
*Supporting the
right for the federal
government to nego-
tiate drug prices for
those in Medicare.
*Actively push-
ing for passage of
the Dorgan-Snowe
Bill, which allows
for the safe, legal
importation of pre-
scription drugs from
Canada and other
approved countries.
*Urging mem-
bers to ask their phy-
sicians about gener-
ics when appropri-
ate.
*Providing con-
sumers and health
providers the re-
sources to compare
the effectiveness and
costs of similar drugs
through evidence-
based research.
*Working with
states to increase
their buying power
in the marketplace
(as modeled by the
Oregon Prescription
Drug Program).
*Operating in
the courts to support
prescription drug
cost containment by
opposing anti-trust
practices and push-
ing for faster ap-
proval of generics.
Good breeding consists of concealing how much we think
of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

Familiarity breeds contempt -- and children.
