MedicareSupplementPlansHow Do Medicare Supplement Plans Work with Medicare?
RetirementLiving.com | August 7, 2019

You've had a lifetime of working, probably covered by your employer's insurance. However, when you turn 65, you have other choices to consider when it comes to health care coverage. You will need to decide on signing up for a Medicare Advantage plan or decide on Medicare with a Medicare supplement plan (Medigap) to fill in the gaps associated with Medicare.

Medicare Advantage and Medicare supplement plans do not work together - you have to choose one or the other. If you choose the original Medicare option, Medicare supplement plans are important because these plans add an extra element, or boost, to your main coverage by paying for gaps for stand-alone prescription drug plans, employer group health coverage and other retiree benefits. Original Medicare will pay first, followed by the payment by the Medicare supplement plan you've subscribed to in order to fill in the gaps.

However, if you are retired already or plan to retire soon, investigating Medicare's full package - or a Medicare Advantage policy - should be on your to-do list during the three-month period before your 65th birthday and the seven months afterward. Part A covers most inpatient hospital stays, blood transfusions and hospice care, while Part B may cover doctor visits and preventive care such as wellness exams, outpatient surgeries and diagnostic tests, and some medical supplies and equipment.

Keep in mind that this may not be the end of your medical costs. While Part A and Part B cover most of the costs of many health care services, there are deductibles from procedures and services that add up quickly. This is why you need to consider Medicare supplement plans to cover the "gap" between Medicare and other costs.

YearsToLife6 Habits to Add Years to Your Life: Feet, Forks, Fingers, Sleep, Stress & Love
Dr. David L. Katz, MD, MPH | True Health Initiative

According to the president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine Dr. David Katz, "The Super 6 are the best medicine we have for preventing cancer and other chronic disease, and all are good for health anyway. The only real potential side effect of their use to prevent cancer is that you might also get healthier in ways you didn't intend."

"Regular physical activity (feet) is associated with weight control, reduced inflammation, enhanced immune function and reduced cancer risk specifically. Optimal diet (forks) exerts far-ranging effects on every aspect of physiology, and similarly stands to reduce the risk of all chronic disease. Combine eating well and being active with a commitment to never hold a cigarette (fingers), and the risk of all chronic disease declines by roughly 80 percent."

Dr. Katz says "Those are my top three, but the list of health promotion priorities very reasonably extends to three more. The quality and quantity of sleep has profound effects on psychology, immunology and neurology. A linkage to cancer risk is suggested by a rudimentary connection of these dots. Much the same is true of stress, which can contribute to hormonal imbalances and inflammation that propagate cancer -- or can be managed to prevent such effects."

"And, finally, there is love. We are, from our earliest origins, social creatures much influenced by our relationships with others. While love may seem a "warm and fuzzy" topic, it is in fact the cold, hard scrutiny of clinical trials demonstrating that those with loving relationships are far less vulnerable to chronic disease and death than those without."

"Combine all six salutary practices, and the evidence is clear that benefits reverberate all the way to our chromosomes, altering the behavior of genes in a way apt to reduce chronic disease risk in general, and cancer risk specifically."

"Think of it this way: lifestyle practices are the ship and sails, but there is still the wind and waves. The former we can control to increase the probability of a safe crossing; the latter, we cannot -- and thus even a well-captained ship may founder."
"You'll need a little help with love, but the other factors are up to you. No need to wait for that brush with mortality -- I commend the Super 6 to you right now."

FasterThanLightNew Planetarium Show: Faster Than Light

Astronomers are discovering more and more planets orbiting other stars. These planets now number in the thousands, but only a precious few of those might harbor conditions suitable for life. One such planet orbits the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, only 4.3 light-years away. What will it take to explore this planet? In a word: SPEED! Faster Than Light: The Dream of Interstellar Flight examines the need for speed to cross the huge interstellar distances to put robotic probes, and maybe, one day, humans, in orbit or on the surface of these potentially habitable worlds. Narrator Sean Bean takes the audience on dazzling rides aboard futuristic spacecraft, employing breakthrough concepts in physics, designed to achieve the speeds necessary to make a journey to another star system feasible. Just how far can our technology take us? Is warp drive more than just science fiction?

Showing at 7:00 PM Tuesdays and Fridays; 1:30 & 7:00 PM Saturdays.

Admission prices to the planetarium are $6.00 adults (18 to 59), $5.00 seniors (60+), $4.00 children (2 to 17) and CSI students with a valid student ID, children under age 2 admitted free.

TwinFallsGrantCommunity Transformation Grant Survey - Please Help!
The City of Twin Falls was recently awarded a grant from the Blue Cross Foundation of Idaho that aims to transform our community by focusing on physical activity and obesity in children. A group of community partners are working to identify challenges and opportunities in Twin Falls, and a part of that effort requires gathering data from parents and students. All of the information gathered through this survey will be used to inform the group on ways to improve access to healthy food and increase physical activity for our kids. The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete, and the only requirement is that a person be a resident of Twin Falls with a child in K-12 (public or private school).
 
The ask? If you could send survey to employees in your organization. Below is the email we sent to our peeps. ��


Have a great weekend!

ISBOEGetting the Word Out About Idaho's Adult Learner Scholarship

For Immediate Release

Getting the Word out about Idaho's Adult Learner Scholarship

By Matt Freeman, Executive Director, Idaho State Board of Education

More than a year has passed since the Opportunity Scholarship for Adult Learners went into effect. To date, just over 600 Idahoans have applied for the scholarship. "I'd like to see double that number a year from now," said Byron Yankey, the State Board's college and career advising program manager.

Yankey hopes to accomplish that with outreach materials aimed at adult learners interested in returning to college to finish work on a degree or a career technical certificate. "Our scholarship program manager and I have visited college and university campuses over the summer and have taken posters, postcards and other materials to them for use on and off campus," Yankey said. "We're also planning to distribute these materials to various businesses and companies to post in breakrooms and for potential use as part of their human resources packages."

Yankey worked with the Idaho Workforce Development Council to create the outreach tools, which are already in circulation at various institution-sponsored events. "For example, this summer Lewis-Clark State College used some of these materials at nearly a half-dozen community events in the Lewiston area and in Boise to help us promote the Adult Opportunity Scholarship," Yankey said.

The tools are designed to encourage people to visit OpportunityIdaho.com to learn about the scholarship and eligibility requirements. Last month, the State Board of Education approved new rules intended to increase the number of Idahoans eligible to apply.

The rules include:
  • Adult Learners with a 2.5 GPA can apply for the scholarship and renew it as long as they maintain a minimum 2.7 GPA after returning to school.
  • Adult Learners must have "stopped out" of college or career technical school for two years or more but an exception is made for students who enrolled in a maximum of two courses during that time.
  • Directs institutions to work with Adult Learner scholarship recipients to determine if they can receive college credits for prior learning gained during military training or industry.
  • Students must show progress to degree in order to maintain eligibility.
The Opportunity Scholarship for Adult Learners provides up to $3,500 per year for returning students to enroll in a variety of postsecondary programs and they can apply up to three weeks prior to the semester.

"The Workforce Development Council supports outreach for the Adult Opportunity Scholarship because we desperately need Idahoans to pursue credentials that will lead to in-demand careers to enhance their quality of life, support employer needs, and grow our economy," said Wendi Secrist, the Council's executive director.

Over the past year, Yankey has attended career fairs around the state where he discussed both the Opportunity Scholarship for recent high school graduates, and the Adult Learner version for parents. He's noticed that it isn't just young adults who are showing interest in returning to school. "Folks in their late 30's and 40's are visiting with us because they view the Adult Learners scholarship as a mid-career opportunity," Yankey said. "Moving forward, we need to continue to look for ways to appeal to this segment of adult learners because the challenge for them personally is not the interest to return to college, it is finding and committing the time to actually do it."

When in Doubt, Throw it Out!
Health Officials Warn Improper Canning Methods Can Lead to Foodborne Illness


SOUTH CENTRAL IDAHO - Summer is winding down and with it local vegetable and fruit crops are ripening. As residents collect their harvests, the South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) reminds everyone to follow tested canning and food preservation guidelines to avoid getting sick.

"Even recipes and methods that have been used for years should be checked to make sure they meet FDA guidelines," said Jarryd Samples, SCPHD Environmental Health Specialist. "An extremely serious form of food poisoning called botulism can grow in canned food and cause paralysis or, in some cases, death."

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends:
  • Choosing the right canner. If you use a pressure cooker make sure it is designed specifically for canning. Check the size because smaller canners can lead to undercooking.
  • Follow the latest canning instructions and up-to-date recipes. Make sure to allow at least ¼ inch of headspace for jams and jellies, more for fruits and pickles. 
  • When in doubt, throw it out. If the container is leaking, if it looks damaged, or if the food ends up discolored or moldy, throw it away. It is not worth getting sick. 
  • If a family member shows any symptoms of botulism (slurred speech, double vision, difficulty swallowing, drooping eyelids, etc) see your doctor or go to the emergency room immediately. Botulism can be especially dangerous in young children, elderly, and immunocompromised people. 
"It's essential to follow up-to-date and research-tested recipes. The size of your canner, the acid level of your fruit, and even your altitude- they can all adjust the time you need in the processor," Samples said. "Taking a little bit of extra time to prepare and research safe methods can protect you and your family from getting sick.

For more information about safe canning from the USDA: https://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html

Stephen Beus
Friday, September 27, 2019
CSI Fine Arts Auditorium
7:30 p.m.

"Mesmerizing... explosive... intelligent... he belongs on the world stage" (Salt Lake Tribune). In the space of four months, American pianist Stephen Beus won first prize in the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition, first place in the Vendome Prize International Competition (Lisbon) and he was awarded the Max I. Allen Fellowship of the American Pianists Association (Indianapolis).

Born and raised on a farm in eastern Washington, Mr. Beus began lessons at age 5 and made his orchestral debut four years later. He went on to win numerous national and international competitions throughout his youth, capturing the attention of both audiences and critics. Commenting on Mr. Beus' competition success, Fanfare magazine writes: "In some ways Beus doesn't fit the mold of the typical competition winner. His playing is strikingly original and, despite his youth, he has an interpretive voice all his own... Above all, his playing is so natural as to seem effortless and the sound he produces has extraordinary richness and depth, not quite like anyone else's."

Mr. Beus holds degrees from Whitman College, The Juilliard School, and Stony Brook University, and his teachers have included Leonard Richter, Robert McDonald, Gilbert Kalish, Christina Dahl, and Paulette Richards.
