He said that should the case go to trial the Strike Ravine trail might qualify for an easement under a Utah law that recognizes public easements for d roads located on lands provided those roads existed prior to Jan. 1, 1992.

Ber Knight, the groups information officer, testified that the group will spend only about 15 minutes crossing the property, and will remain on the trail. He said closing the trail now would be difficult because only a limited number of vehicles can participate in each of the events 30 trail rides, and registration for most trails is already closed.

In January he traveled to Washington, D.C. on behalf of AARPs Utah district eight to attend an AARP meeting concerning the new prescription drug law. I sent several to the Utah AARP office about the new law, said Bailey. The law didnt address some of the real concerns about medications and costs of drugs or the importation of drugs from Canada. National AARP got a lot of flack on their backing of the bill and so they requested that two people from each state office be sent to an AARP meeting in D.C. concerning the new law. At the meeting we broke up into work groups to find out what members liked and Helldorado trail that runs through a rocky wash on the didnt like about the law. There was a lot of concern over AARP backing the legislatures bill. One of AARPs main concerns is consumer advocacy for seniors, which essentially ends up helping out everybody, said Bailey. The new prescription drug bill was a big issue. AARP had their own version of the bill that they were pushing, Congress wrote theirs and the House of Representatives wrote theirs. National AARP backed a compromised bill, saying that it Trail can't he blocked trails since no recorded easements exist. April 11 8:30 a.m. Breakfast 9:30 a.m. Easter Service h The United States is the only industrialized nation in the world that doesnt provide health care for its citizens. Americans pay 30 to 40 percent more than Canadians pay for prescription drugs. Some 'prescription drugs are so expensive in the U.S. that it is cheaper for people to buy drugs from Canada, pay the shipping costs on top of the expense for the drug and still save money than if they were to buy in the U.S. Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) makes it illegal to import drugs from Canada to the U.S. because the drugs arent regulated by FDA standards, elderly people who are on $400-60- 0 of drugs monthly sometimes dont have a choice. The new prescription drug law that was passed at the end of last year will add a prescription drug benefit to Medicare in 2006, but how good will the coverage really be?

The new prescription drug law is and comreceived and a lot has plicated of controversy and criticism. two-third- multi-facete- d According to AARP, Medicare is a program that is a mainly system, in which the government sets benefits and prices. Opponents of the law say that it could change Medicare into a network of private plans competing for business and requiring beneficiaries to make their own decisions on benefit and price. Private plans are given $14 billion in subsidies. Proponents of the law say that the money will persuade private plans to enter and stay in the ld Medicare market, unlike HMOs in MedicareChoice, which have left the program substantially in recent years. People who fall within the lowest income brackets, individuals under $9,630 and $13,000 for couples, and people who have very high prescription drug costs will benefit the most from the new law. Those with the lowest incomes will pay $1 for generic drugs and $3 for prescription drugs for a y supply.

He added that if an individual or group were to specifically request use of Helldorado I would grant the injunction. Plaintiffs are free to take names and license plate numbers of anyone who enters Helldorado and you can sue them for trespass, Anderson said. If you put up a gate there and anyone takes it down, that would be trespass. When Miller and Rzeczycki purchased the land from the states Schools and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) last fall, Russell says SITLA officials assured the couple that there were no easements on the property. In December, they installed fences and no trespassing signs at spots where Strike Ravine and Helldorado intersect their land. A San Juan County Sheriffs deputy tore down the fences last month. On Saturday, Miller said she and Rzeczycki have removed the fence at the entrance to Strike Ravine. But she remains hopeful that the Jeep Safari will reroute that section of trail for 2005. Meanwhile, the Red Rock will continue to use the trail this year. Weve got a clear on the Strike Ravine the groups attorsaid trail, Well Mortensen.

People who reach $5,100 in overall drug costs annually will benefit from Medicare paying as much as 95 percent of all subsequent drug costs for the year. The new law is problem- atic, said Bailey. He specifically pointed to what has been called the doughnut hole, which is a large gap in coverage for people with moderate tional average monthly drug premium will be added to an enrollees premium for each month that they could have signed up but didnt. Health care is an essential right and need, said Bailey. A lot of people who are homeless are there because of medical problems. Bailey pointed to city governments role concerning health care. By state statute cities can engage in almost anything that the citizens demand. If theres something out there thats a public need that private enterprise doesnt fulfill, the city can look into it. The Mayor Dave Sakrison and I have looked into starting a free medical clinic, which is on the back burner right now. Bailey said that he thinks it is possible to fund a free clinic without having to cut anything out of the current budget.

These people will pay a $250 deductible and then 25 percent of drug costs up to $2,250. An additional $2,850 would need to be paid out of pocket before any additional help were received. The new law also encourages people to enroll by impos- ing financial penalties. If an eligible person is currently enrolled in another health care program but then needs healthcare through Medicare they would have 63 days after their original health care plan stops to sign up before a penalty were imposed. Likewise, someone with a moderate income with few or no drug costs would need to decide whether or not to enroll during the initial enrollment in case they might need the coverage down the road. The initial enrollment period is from November 15, 2005 through May 15, 2006. At least one percent of the na movie info. Find our Show Times on tho Web 24-h- r.
