If youre having trouble paying for your prescriptions, here are 5 ways you
might be able to save money.
1. Talk to your doctorand your plan.
When youre prescribed a new medication, check to see whether its on your
plans formulary (approved drug list) and how much your copayment is. If
your drug plan doesnt cover your prescription, or if your copayments are
very high, ask your doctor for help.
Physicians will know whether there are comparable, less expensive drugs
(e.g., generics) that may be available to you. Some may even be able to pro-
vide free samples of medications while you seek other coverage options.
Doctors also can request an exception to ask your plan to cover the medica-
tion, or to pay at a lower tier.
2. See if you qualify for Extra Help.
The Medicare Part D program has a subsidy called Extra Help that assists
people with limited income and resources with paying for their drugs. If you
get Extra Help, youll save money on your drug plan premium, deductible,
and at the pharmacywith prescriptions costing between $1.15 and $6.60.
3. Find help from drug manufacturers.
Patient Assistance Programs, or PAPs, are programs offered by drug compa-
nies to help people pay for their drugs. Through these programs, many drug
manufacturers offer the drugs they make for free, or at a discount. Some
PAPs are for people who dont have insurance, while a few help people with

4. Dont forget Open Enrollment!
Every year from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, people with Medicare can switch their prescription drug plans for the
following year. If youre having trouble with your drug costs, its a good idea to compare plans to see if
theres a more affordable option.
You can go online at any time to compare plans using the Medicare Plan Finder, or you can get
personalized help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). Every state has
a SHIP that offers free, objective, and personalized information to people with Medicare.
You also can ask your SHIP whether you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period to switch
plans.

5 WAYS TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR MEDICATI ONS
ZUCCHINI & FRESH CORN SUCCOTASH
Here's to all
volunteers, those
dedicated people
who believe in all
work and no pay.
Robert Orben
Ingredients
3 T. butter
1 large onion, diced,
about 1 cup
1 medium zucchini (about
2.5 inches in diameter)
5-6 ears of fresh corn on
the cob, cooked
2 cups or one can lima
beans of black-eyed peas,
drained and rinsed
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a large skillet heat the butter over medi-
um to medium-high heat until melted. Add
the onion and saut until the onion starts to
get clear on the edges, about 5 minutes.
While the onion is cooking cut the ends off
of the zucchini and then cut it in to fourths
long-ways. Slice each quarter into 1/4 to
1/2 inch slices. When the onion is starting
to go clear on the edges add the chopped
zucchini. While the zucchini is cooking, cut
the cooked corn from the cob. Use your
knife to scrape the cob once the corn has
been cut to get off any remaining kernel pieces and the extra juice (called corn milk).
After the zucchini has cooked for about 5 minutes and is still tender crisp add the cut
corn and lima beans. Heat through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add
plenty of salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away. Add a dash of Tabasco to individu-
al servings to taste.

SCOOP Page 4
On June 11th at 3:30 p.m. the Sheriffs Office began receiving phone calls from concerned citizens refer-
ence to phone calls they received today. At least three separate victims received phone calls from an un-
known caller, identifying themselves as Sheriffs Deputies, demanding immediate payment for unpaid
fines, unsatisfied warrants, or fines for missing jury duty.
This is not the first time scams like this have been attempted; however,
this time the caller ID is showing as 316-660-3900, the very real phone
number to Sheriff Administration. Evidently there is a phone app that
allows callers to select the number they want displayed on a caller ID.
The Sheriffs Office is advising the public to NOT make payment or
provide any personal information to anyone demanding payment to the Sheriffs Office over the phone.
The Sheriffs Office does not collect fines by phone. If you have been the victim of this scam call 911 or
Sheriff Investigations at 316-660-5300.

MESSAGE FROM THE CLEARWATER POLICE DEPARTMENT
RSVP is Americas largest volunteer network for people age 55 and older. There are
nearly 500,000 volunteers across the country who are tackling tough issues in their
communities.
Here in our community we have a set of volunteers who provide rides to other Sen-
iors. These can be rides to and from the store or a doctors appointment. Each year
these volunteers are given an appreciation dinner and recognized for their contribu-
tions to their community. We would like to recognize them here as well. We have
4 Seniors from our area who received Silver Awards. This award was given for 250-499 hours worked.
They received a certificate and a Service Award Pin. Congratulations to Farol McMillan, Marlene Par-
ret, Vivian Maechtlen, and Carl Shaffer for receiving the Silver Award. Also the following people who
generously give their time were invited to attend as well including Cheryl Wright, Mary Jo McMahan,
Betty Jo Embry, Normae Sullivan, Yvonne Coon, Jerry & Helen Stitt, & Mary Jane Hoelscher. If you
see any of these people be sure to tell them thank you for all their hard work!

Senior Lunch 6-10-14
After Pam called the group to order, Marlene led the group reciting the Flag Salute and sing-
ing the National Anthem. The June birthdays people were Mary Mitchell, and Linda Tag-
gart.
Marlene gave the blessing for the BBQ beef provided by the Center and the many side dish-
es.
The first speaker was Lona Kelly from the RSVP program. She stated there is always a need
for us to volunteer to help other seniors to enable us to remain in our own homes longer.
Some of the areas are companionship, help with communications, transportation, access to
new Medicare changes. Military families also need occasional assistance, as well as working
through the Red Cross.
Our second speaker with Bryan Dillon who spoke on the various stages of Alzheimer's and
other dementia impairment. He reminded us to keep a current list of all medications to take
when we visit our doctors. Sometimes medicines given by several doctors may be the prob-
lem that they don't go with other meds. He also stated that Alzheimer's often takes up to 8
years from diagnosis till death, or longer. He reminded us to eat a good balance diet includ-
ing lots of fruits and food rick in Omega 3.
The next speaker was Gary Hunt, who brought several stuffed and mounted animals native
to Kansas. Gary will be hosting a Hunters Safety Class soon at the Center. If you are inter-
ested, or have family interested in taking the class, you can get more information by contact-
ing the Clearwater Police Department or the Center.
Our last speaker was one of our own, Ruby Fisher. She recently flew south for the winter
but returned to tell us how life is in sunny Florida. She explained some of the activities of-
fered in her apartment complex there. She told that not only is her rent based on income but
also on the price you pay for medications. We were glad to see her back since she had been a
very active part of our Center for years.
Pam gave announcements for up coming events. Check the calendar page of The Scoop for
the monthly programs offered here.

CarFit is an education program that provides quick, yet compre-
hensive review of how well you and your vehicle work together.
The program also provides information and materials on com-
munity specific resources that could enhance your driving safety
and increase mobility.
Does Your Vehicle Fit?
Do you have a clear view out your vehicles windows? Can you reach and manage all controls and adjust
the seat and seatbelt so they are secure yet comfortable? Making adjustments can help you benefit from
vehicle safety features by improving comfort, control and confidence behind the wheel.
You Should Be Able To:
Reach the shoulder belt and buckle and unbuckle the seat belt without difficulty.
Get into and out of your vehicle easily.
Sit comfortably, without knee, back, hip, neck or shoulder stiffness or pain.
Turn your head to look over your shoulder when changing lanes and backing up. May collisions re-
lated to lane-changing are the result of the drivers inability to check the vehicles blind spots adequate-
ly.
CarFit is a free, interactive program designed to improve older driver safety. Trained volunteers provide
information to ensure the safest "fit" for older drivers and their vehicles. Clearwater Police will be offer-
ing this program. Where: The Clearwater Police Department at 129 E Ross, Clearwater When: Sunday -
Saturday By appointment Contact: Officer Rebekah Patterson by calling 620-584-2395 or by email. pat-
