OBITUARIES

FISHER

SUBIC BAY, Philippines - Nearly two de-cades after Mount Pinatubo erupted, spewingtons of ash that killed close to 1,000 people anddestroyed or damaged more than 75,000 homesin its path, the son of a Howard City couple isback in this lush, tropical paradise to help localscontinue to rebuild.

U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Samuel J.Hopkins, son of Steven and Debra Hopkins of

Howard City, is a member of the 31st Marine Ex-peditionary Unit based out of Okinawa, Japan,who deployed to the island of Luzon to not onlytrain with their Philippine counterparts, but alsoprovide much needed humanitarian and nation-building relief in an area still recovering fromthe volcanos devastation.

Hopkins is a rieman for the exercise. I amhere to perform joint training mission with theFilipino marines, said Hopkins, who graduatedin 2007 from Tri County High School.

The amphibious landing exercise, also calledPhiblex 11, combined sailors from the USS Es-sex, USS Harpers Ferry and USS Denver, alongwith the Marine Corps unit and members of thePhilippine military. The Americans and Filipi-nos shared tactics, weapons, even eld rationsduring the exercise to get a better understand-

ing of how each others system works. Hopkinssaid the exercise allowed both sides to shareideas and learn from one another, free of wallsor boundaries.

This type of exercise is important because itallows us to continue to share this great relation-ship that we have with this country, said Hop-kins.

For Hopkins and his unit, the exercise not

only gave them a chance to train in a totallyforeign environment, but help in an area wherethe average daily income is less than ten dollars.Hopkins believes the team truly makes a differ-ence.

The countryside is beautiful and the peopleare very giving, said Hopkins, who has been inthe military for three years. The kids are a lot offun and seeing their way of living makes me ap-preciate what I have back home.

The motto for this years exercise, which hasbeen held annually since 2003, is sama-samasa pagbigay kalinga, which translates to to-getherness for the people. For Hopkins and hisMarine Corps team, it means a togetherness thatreaches across different cultures and lifestylesand helps establish a partnership that will lastfor years to come.

LETTER TO THE EDITORVeterans need your

supportOn November 11 at 11:00 the local

VFW held the Veterans Day Service atthe VFW Post in front of the monument

that was saved and rebuilt. Its very dis-appointing for these past Veterans to putthis service on for the past and presentand have such a sparse attendance. Thisservice was in the paper so people I amsure seen it. This is a standing Veteransservice which is done every year on 11/11

at 11:00. So my question to the people ofthe community do you think you couldget out next year and back your Veter-ans past and present?? Hope to see youthere. Thank you.

Bake Sale will be held from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Crafts for Kids 10 am. - 1 p.m.

The Gold Refinery 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.Cal OlsonWhistles, Windsynth & Other Toys

Cal is a player of music, a maker of jewelry, a teller of stories, and a self-described Jack of a Few Trades.

Involved in music since childhood, it remains one of his core passions. Call is proficient on a wide varietyof wind, brass, keyboard and stringed instruments, using that ability to craft original sons, as well as arrange-ments of hymn tunes and popular classical pieces.

He performs on a number of unusual instruments, including Irish low whistles, recorders, ocarina, me-lodica, and an electronic instrument call a Wind Controller or Windsynth. The Windsynth sends digitalinformation about notes, expressions, etc. to a sound module which allows Cal to emulate the sound ofalmost any instrument - saxophone, flugelhorn, clarinet to name a very few - as well as using electronic andsynthesized solo voices. The result? A large variety of sounds all available to the hands of one performer.

Cal has released two CDs - Angelicas Waltz, featuring both original songs and hymn tune arrangements,and WhistleWonder: The Carols of Christmas, his first Christmas CD. He is working on a third CD featur-ing all hymn arrangements, as well as a second Christmas project.

Children, Dependents and Lifetime Caps. When the health insuranceexchanges phase in over the next few years, childrens pre-existing con-

dition discrimination ends. Young people can remain on their parents

insurance policy until their 26th birthday. Starting 2010, insurance

companies are prohibited from dropping sick people from coverage.Insurance companies are banned from imposing a lifetime cap on their

coverage for you. Adults with no insurance due to pre-existing condi-

tions will have access to affordable insurance through a high-risk pool.More Care Centers, Better Health Care Availability. In 2011, com-

munity health centers get more money to enable them to offer more

services, for more hours of the day. Their goal is to double the number

of patients they treat, within five years. A new research panel has beenformed an independent commission to advise on how to build a solid

health care workforce and increase the number of nurses, doctors and

other professionals our country needs. $500 million comes as an invest-

ment from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Leg-islature recognized that with the population average age increasing as

quickly as it is, the increasing burden on the younger generation needs

to be managed, and quelled responsibly.

Discrimination By Insurance Companies? Some of the worst insur-

ance industry practices have been tackled head on. In the next year the

insurance industry has to revamp, to create a new, independent appeals

process to ensure that consumers in new private plans have access to aneffective process to appeal decisions made by their insurer. Discrimi-

nation based on salary is outlawed no more special eligibility rulesfor higher-wage employees. New offices will become available where

insurance consumers can get assistance in filing appeals.

How Much Can they Keep? How much of our premium payments do

the insurance company owners keep? Is there a limit? Starting in 2011,

insurers in individual and small group markets will be required to spend

80 percent of premiums on medical services. They will have 20% with

which to pay their own expenses, rent, employees and owners. Insurers

in the large group market will be required to spend 85 percent of premi-

ums on medical services. Insurers not complying will have to rebate the

money to policyholders. Insurance is heavily regulated in most states.

In 2011 insurance companies will have to justify all requested premium

increases, to their State Insurance Commissioner or Panel.

How Are We Saving Money? Three ways: more and better employer-

provided health care coverage, free preventive care, and lowered costs.

To help with those costs, starting 2010 small businesses that choose to

offer coverage will receive tax credits up to 35 percent of their costs.

New private plans are required to provide free preventive care: no co-

payments, no deductibles. And beginning January 1, 2011, Medicare

will do the same. Are you between age 55 and 64? A new temporary

re-insurance program is offered to help offset the costs of expensive

premiums for employers and retirees age 55-64. Age 65 or over? Be-

ginning in 2011, the bill institutes a 50% discount on prescription drugs

in the donut hole.

Not sure if something applies to you? Contact your insurance compa-

ny agent, revisit the plans being offered privately, contact your HumanResources Department, or call Medicare if youre 65 or older. Find lots
