Cynthia Hylton and Donna Delikat from the Or egon Insurance Division’s SHIBA program (Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance) will be teaching a class on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 2 p.m. at Columbia Basin Electric in Heppner. M edicare 101 w ill be offered to anyone in the Morrow County com munity who wants to un derstand about Medicare health insurance benefits and choices. This is an opportunity to become informed prior to the annual fall Medicare enrollment period coming up Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. For the more than 1,700 Medicare beneficiaries and all individuals turning 65 in 2014 or 2015 residing in Morrow County, this is a once-a-year event for people to get their ques tions answered by unbiased, objective OID Medicare trainers. The class will cover topics like Part D drug coverage, supplem ental coverage, Part A and B, and enrollment periods. “What you do not know can cost you and with Medi care changes happening each year, it’s important to stay up-to-date,” a SHI- BA representative said. “You are held responsible to know about Medicare deadlines and requirements for coverage o f medical services by your policies.’ People who wait to sign up for Medicare because they will not draw Social Security until 66 may end up being penalized. Medicare and Social Security are two different programs. Medicare starts at 65 no matter when you draw Social Security. Premium penalties and delayed health coverage are consequences o f not following Medicare enroll ment policies. SHIBA representatives also state that there is no one-size-fits-all plan in M edicare. There are 33 prescription drug plans to fit different peoples' needs. Call 1-800-722-4134 to register for the class. Registration is preferred but walk-ins are welcome.

An enemy in the camp The E.O. (East Oregonian) editorial, August 9, by Merlyn Robinson, “U.S. Senate couldn’t even follow an angelic prophecy,” is almost prophecy itself. Merlyn's satire is quite truthfully right on spot: America’s House and Senate are asleep at the switch. All of these elected people are supposed to protect the Ameri can people in sworn oath, just as our military personnel, from enemies foreign and domestic. America’s place in world affairs and history is no ac cident. No other nation on earth has accomplished what America has done, and I’m not talking about standard of living; I'm talking about the Christian gospel of salvation which American missionaries took to the world in the late 18th to 20* centuries. For some time now America's churches as well as its government have lost their moral compass. Churches were to be a refuge for lost sinners to find salvation of soul, and our government, being founded by men of God, for a country where people were free to worship God without king or dictator to tell them how to do that. When a nation like America, one out of many, turns from the God of heaven who planted this nation and protected her during formation and through great wars, and takes the ways of others through adultery of spirit and flesh (worldliness), God says, “I shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that though settest thine hand unto for to do. until thou be destroyed, and until though perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me” (Deuter onomy 28:20). This present administration is the most corrupt to ever lead this great nation. The president’s platform of “change” is a change to what? A Saul Alinsky, Cloward and Pliven welfare system ? This is why we are seeing a run on our southern border, organized chaos being sanc tioned by this administration. So, Merlyn, it is believable the course of government action we see at our southern border: it’s part of Obama’s change for America. Wake up, America. An enemy is in the camp.
