Attention all Medicare Part D eligible in dividuals. This letter is written to encourage evaluation of your prescription plan each and every year during the open enrollment period which for 2012 is October 15 through December 7. Our experience is that health care plans can and do change each year and pharmacy part D plans are no exception. Covered medications, copays, and donut hole coverage are but a few of the options that can differ between insurance companies and the plans they offer. A plan that served you well one year may or may not be the best choice among the plans available the next year. This can be a daunting task however. The good news is that help is available. This help is in the form of a plan comparison tool avail able on the internet at the address of www.medicare. gov, This is the best way in which to study the available plans because it shows an accurate 'apples to apples' comparison and can project anticipated drug coverage and costs using your own personal information and preferences. It is confidential and informative. The only down side to this tool is that access to the internet is re quired and even then it can be a challenge to navigate. However, there is more good news! We in Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler counties have access to this quality comparison tool AND access to a person (living, breathing and lo c a l) who knows the intricacies of the website. So this is the best of both worlds, objective information and local help. Usually this combination yields the best decision for you. It is not a salesperson's opinion (often linked to a sales commis sion) or a poor comparison which often just confuses. In Morrow County the Morrow County Health District provides this service; they can be reached by calling 541-676-9133, In Gilliam and Wheeler counties, the Mid-Columbia Council of Governments provides this service; they can be reached by calling 888-316-1362 or 541-993-1802. Remember, time is of the essence as Medicare allows only 1 time period each year for changes, Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. A list of plans in which we participate is available upon request or may be seen by putting our zip code into the medicare.gov website and selecting our pharmacy. We appreciate all the support we have received over the last 50 years. Please do not hesitate to call. We would love to help. -John Murray i t MlUWUJ'i D juuj - 217 North Main St., Heppner • Phone 676-9158 • Floral 676-9426 Serving Morrow, Wheeler & Gilliam counties Since 1959 Heppner Elementary School students were challenged by the student council to bring in 600 pounds of canned food items between Oct.15-18.

This ain’t your father’s Grange Talk about confusing. What does a new gambling casino have to do with the Grange? Well, nothing. The only similarity is in the name. Measures 82 and 83 go together. Measure 83 pro poses building a large entertainment facility around a new, private gambling casino in Wood Village at the old greyhound race track. This is near Gresham, OR. The name of the facility is “The Grange.” The reason the two measures go together is that, in order for “The Grange” to be built. Ballot Measure 82 will have to be passed, which would change the state constitu tion, which does not allow for any private casinos in the state. Right now, only the tribes are allowed to operate casinos, and this was authorized by the Oregon Legisla ture. The ballot measures are seeking direct approval from the voters for private casinos such as The Grange, thereby changing the current legislatively-enacted law. On October 17, an article appeared in The Register- Guard quoting the backers of these measures as saying they were going to suspend their campaign in support of the casinos. “It appears to the campaign team that not enough Oregon voters are ready to add a private casino to the state’s gaming options,” read the statement that the group issued. Recently, Governor Kitzhaber and other former gov ernors came out publicly against 82 and 83, and it appears the backers realize that the public support is not there. Hence their reason to suspend campaigning. However, these issues will still be on the ballot. Vot ing yes would allow private gambling casinos and voting no will keep the law as it currently is. It is important to vote on this issue even though it appears dead on arrival. Your vote will send a message, one way or another, that is important to the ongoing and future business of our state. Jack Meligan, Heppner For The Willow Creek Tea Party Re-elect Rea for commissioner Leann Rea deserves to be re-elected to another four- year term as Morrow County Commissioner. Over the last four years, I have had the opportunity to serve on some committees with Leann that had representation by both the Port of Morrow and the Morrow County Court. Leann comes to the meeting well prepared, and represents Morrow County and the region well. Leann has put in a tremendous amount of time and effort over the last four years and deserves to be re-elected. Join me in voting for Leann Rea for Morrow County Commissioner.
