Greetings! 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.

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.

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.
