The Social Security Administration
(SSA) has added early onset/younger-
onset Alzheimer’s to the list of condi-
tions under its Compassionate Allow-
ance Initiative, giving those with the
disease expedited access to Social
Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
and Supplemental Security Income
(SSI). The Alzheimer’s Association,
a longtime advocate for those with
early onset Alzheimer’s, has played
an integral role in this movement to

*Squatters had been cutting locks
to gain entry at the transfer station at 905
Kerby Mainline Road. One of the unwanted
visitors was still on the scene at 10:22 a.m.
when employees found him in a light-blue
Chevy Suburban at the back of the property.
There were garbage bags, beer cans and tires
scattered all around. The trespasser stated that
he had permission to enter the facility through
a hole in the fence, but this was determined
to be untrue. He replaced property that he
had removed and will face charges of second-
degree theft and trespassing.
*A deputy made contact with several
individuals on Eight Dollar Road from 12:42
and 3 p.m. One camper was warned for
residing in that area.
*A motorist in a white Honda was
warned for failure to use a seatbelt at 3:05 p.m.
on Redwood Hwy. at Holton Creek Road.
*Two people in a red Chevy Grand
Caravan were causing a disturbance at 4:09
p.m. The guy was driving erratically, so
they pulled over to continue their fight at
222 W. Lister Street by an attorney’s office.
Department of Human Services was notified
because there were children in the van. The
children’s grandmother brought the kiddos
home with her so the parents could resolve
their differences.

speeding 75 mph in a 55 mph zone at MP 17
on Hwy. 199 at 10:33 a.m. The irresponsible

tions for other medication systems or physician follow-up
will be provided as needed. Do you need someone to ac-
company you to your doctor’s appointment? Pat will meet
you at the physician’s office to assist in asking questions
and remembering what the doctor has said. She can help
with understanding what the physician is telling you and
will make recommendations for follow-up to you or your
family as requested.
Is it time to hire a caregiver? Pat will help you with the
interview process by asking questions and making sugges-
tions based on your request. The final decision is made by
you. To reach Pat for an appointment, fee information or
other questions, please call 541-415-0465. Watch this col-

*Jubilee Park was patrolled at 10:54 a.m.,
and everything was just fine.
*A man at the Mountain Man RV Park in
the 28200 block of Redwood Hwy. complained
of an assault at 11:19 a.m. Apparently the
day before, a busybody jumped in on a
conversation. The guy told his nosy neighbor
to mind his own business, which didn’t go
over very well. His 60-year-old, 200-pound
neighbor with a gray beard punched him in the
face. Twice. Medical assistance was cancelled,
and law enforcement deemed that there was
no crime and no injury, and all parties were
advised of their options.
*Nothing could be heard on a 911-call
from the 9400 block of Takilma Road at 12:11
p.m.

Forks State Park at 1:56 p.m.
