The event is Monday, Oct. 29 at 5 p.m. at Heri- tage Station Museum, 108 S.W. Frazer Ave., Pendle- ton. There is no admission charge. A Pendleton native, Will- ingham worked on the proj- ect for four years.

Help available with Medicare sign ups Oregon’s Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assis- tance Program offers help with Medicare enrollment. Medicare is health insur- ance for people 65 years or older and for those who are younger that receive Social Security Disability Income. The annual open enrollment began Oct. 15. To ensure coverage begins without interrup- tion Jan. 1, 2019, Medicare Advantage (MA) or pre- scription drug plan (Part D) changes must be made by Dec. 7. Late enrollment may result in a lifetime of pre- mium penalties. Lisa Emerson, SHIBA program manager, urges people to compare plans each year.
