Drugs create chemical changes in your body, and they may affect your ability to drive a car safely.
Both prescription and over-the-counter medications can slow reflexes, blur vision, or cause drowsiness or dizziness. Drugs often affect people differently at 20 than 40 or 60. With age, people tend to be heavier and have less muscle tone, which affects the way chemicals are absorbed. Older bodies also metabolize drugs more slowly, so it takes longer for many medications to "wear off."
Use caution when you're taking a new drug. Know all the drugs you are taking, and be sure that any doctor you see knows ALL the drugs that you are currently taking, including short-term medicine for colds or flu, allergy relief, or non-prescription sleeping medicine.
Some of the most common drugs that can impair driving include:

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
A group of students from the Audition Choir at Carbon High sang the National Anthem to the Carbon County School Board the other night and it wasn't just to prove they could sing. It was also to prove they could be responsible.
Students came to the meeting to ask the board to allow them to go on a trip next spring to participate in a vocal music competition tour in southern California. It would be the first out-of-state trip allowed for a high school choir trip in a few years.
The request came directly from the students, although choral instructor Arthella Williams voiced a bit of preamble by saying "I think you need to hear what they want to do from them."
The request fell on interested, but cautious ears. A previous trip with the choir to southern California a few years ago had resulted in some problems that came back to sting the district.
The students explained their plans, not only in terms of what the schedule would be, but also how they would finance such a trip for everyone to go.
"If you go on this trip what kind of adult to student ratio would there be to prevent problems?" asked board member Jeff Richens.
The standard policy, he was told, was a 1-20 ratio, which the board seemed somewhat uncomfortable with.
"I would like to see it at one to ten or something more like that," said Richens.
Many of the adults going with the group would be parents, but some staff would also accompany the singers, which would number around 80 students.
Students said they had ideas for fundraisers and would be able to "cut the cost" of transportation because they would leave from another performance they would be doing in Spanish Fork instead having to have a bus come to Price to pick them all up.
The board discussed the situation and looked at the schedule the students had proposed. Board member Barry Deeter asked about financing, particularly for students who could not afford to pay their own way. The cost for the trip would be $469.
The students told the board that they planned a number of fund raisers for that very purpose.
While the details are not solidified as of yet, the board went along conceptually with the plan.
They also told students that they were pleased with what had been proposed "educationally" and thought it could be a good trip.
The choral department will keep the board up-to-date on what they are planning and how things are going over the next few months.
The board also agreed to approve a vehicle for a trip for the Future Farmers of America who were at the meeting as well. Four students had qualified for nationals the day before the board meeting so the request for travel in November could not be acted upon directly. However, under the circumstances the board gave a thumbs up for the students to travel to Idaho for the Western Natural Range Career Development Event in Idaho Falls. Other than the transportation the organization pays for the costs for the students to participate in the event.

I will be going to Ohayocon this Jan 30th through Feb 1st in Columbus Ohio, and have decided I'm going to put on my pirate outfit and pass out FSM pamphlets there on the first day, which just happens to be a Friday. Anyone who seems interested will be getting a package of ramen noodles so that they may partake in a wholesome pastafarian communion that evening.
And for those of you unfamiliar with Ohayocon, it is an anime convention. I have actually done this once before at the Anime Punch convention last year, pretty much everyone I spoke to there was very receptive to the idea of the FSM. I even got a warm welcome from the scores of people there dressed as ninjas (keep in mind that ninja's and pirates have an age old rivalry), after they heard I was giving out free ramen to anyone who would listen to me anyhow - LOL.
I would greatly encourage anyone else here who is planning on attending Ohayocon to bring their holy pirate regalia and join me in spreading the word of his noodly goodness, just be sure to bring pamphlets and ramen (anime convention goers absolutely love free stuff - especially free ramen).

First thing you need to do is visit this forum thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=41650 and download the great fanart pack made by timdog82001 for us its 160mb big so not included in the skin for obvious reasons
Next you need to extract the rar file to a location of your choosing (keeping the directory structure). You will notice that the rar contains a bunch of numbered folders in it, the numbers are what xbmc uses to pick the right condition so don't rename them.
Hopefully if you did it right you should end up with a folder structure like this
-- 00
-- 01
-- 02
-- 03
-- 04
-- 47
Now in the skin go to the weather page and Nav left to get to the side menu. Go into the "Misc Options" section and uncheck "Hide Fanart" you will then need to click on the "Set Fanart Path" button and browse to the main folder you extracted the fanart too. In the case of my example above "Weather-Fanart" (not the sub folders).
Click the OK button in the browse dialog and you should now have Fanart based on the current weather conditions in the weather screen and also the home screen when the weather button is selected

The Watertown Housing Authority just wants to make its tenants happy.
To show its appreciation for residents of its family complexes at East Hills, Meadowbrook and Maywood Terrace, the agency hosted its annual Summer Bash on Thursday at East Hills, just off Eastern Boulevard.
Its nice to see the staff know all what were working for, said Melissa Snyder, tenant relations coordinator. Its hard to plan family events because they all have lives and jobs, but for this, its something they count on.
The Summer Bash was rescheduled from last Friday when it rained, and although the agency considered scaling down the events into a few smaller ones, Ms. Snyder said the Watertown Housing Authority decided to stick with tradition.
That made tenants happy, including 7-year-old Caitlin E. Young, who also celebrated her birthday Thursday.
I love the hula hoops, she said, referring to one of the dozen activity stations for children.
She was accompanied by her sister, Kelcee N. Steele, 3, and mother, Kristi E. Young.
We love it here, Ms. Young said. Theyre always so good to the kids. Theyre not bored.
The Summer Bash offered face painting and glitter tattoos, a barbecue-style lunch, bounce houses, water activities, Clayton-based disc jockey service Timeline Music Co., ring toss, United Healthcare Community Plan, Jefferson County Dairy princess, Watertown Housing Authority Tenant Association, homemade hula hoops, rubber duck pond for babies, water activities, games and a petting zoo.
All children won small prizes, and some were selected for certificates for free bowling games at Pla-Mor Lanes, State Street, and a $25 gift card to the Fairgrounds Inn, Coffeen Street.
While many activities entertained children Thursday, Ms. Snyder said she tried to engage residents and network with other community agencies to offer other programs and events for all residents.
We try to make the quality of life for our residents better, said Michael C. Robare, executive director. We house a large population of the city of Watertown.
Watertown Housing Authority holds about 1,500 people within 700 individual family or single apartments among seven housing communities. More than 300 people are on the agencys waiting list.
Mr. Robare said the agency will continue to make improvements to accommodate residents needs and some of their desires. Next year, he said, the agency plans to put in a new playground at Maywood Terrace.

Managed Dental Care is my insurance carrier, so my co-payment was $70.00. Dr. Aivaz was friendly, coureous and very efficient. I was impressed with his skill and the painlessness of my root canal. This is the day following my operation, and I feel no residual effect. I highly recommend Dr. Aivaz for this procedure.

Dr Aivaz is the best. He was referred by my dentist. I have had two root canals (years apart)and he performed both. I could not have had a better person to do this. I had no insurance and they worked with me.

Performed a very difficult redo of an old root canal, and worked very quickly & skillfully. Post-surgical pain as expected, but was prepared for that. Dr. Aivaz was very courteous & gave useful information on procedure, what to expect, etc. Spotless offices!

This was the most painful root canal I have ever had, and I have had a few. The side of my face was swollen. I have never had that happen before. Have your dentist recommend someone else.

Handle too flexible
By LF
from USA
Comments about this product:
I've used this for killing spiders but in order to properly kill them you have to press down on them. The handle bends when you do this and I'm concerned that it will snap one day. The handle is not solid - it has a number of areas where there are indentations, presumably to use less plastic and keep it cheaper, but it bends too much and will probably break.I would like to suggest that they also make one with the spatula part at less of an angle. Sometimes it's difficult to hold it at the right angel based on where the spider is.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love the Spider Fighter!
By DanaM
from Grand Junction,CO
I hate trying to kill spiders in the house. Bad angles, awkward swatters, not wanting to get close enough to reach it and then not always being sure if I got it. This product makes it so much easier. The long handle, being see through, the ability to get in all of the difficult places bugs get into and the fact that it so strong make this the tool we wouldn't do without!

Working for a newspaper is a pretty good gig, especially when said paper is near your hometown. I work with some pretty great people and generally speaking we take a very stressful job and make the best of it. That said, work is still work so most nights when I pull into the driveway it's with a sense of relief that another day is in the books. Last Tuesday evening I pulled into my driveway tired with the weight of another day and anxious to slide past my front door and fall into the couch for a glorious nap.
My nap never happened.
I was greeted by my wife, still wet from the shower standing at the door and yelling, "will you handle this crazy stuff?" The craziness my wife spoke of came in the form of a summons, service or ticket. Whichever way you like it, it's all the same, you're going to see the judge, mister.
My lifelong friend, who happens to also be East Carbon's Animal Control Officer Cody Valdez, laughed at me a little and then explained that my dog does indeed bark and my neighbors don't like it.
Shocking I know. Nobody likes their neighbor's barking dog. I just didn't know you could do something about it.
Cody continued to explain that my little white monster of a dog had been out past curfew the previous evening and one of my neighbors couldn't stand the little gal's vocal jazz anymore. They called, complained and signed and now I am headed to the judge.
Since she stands accused, let me tell you a bit about my dog Puff. Yep, Puff.
Puff is a Chinese Crested Powder Puff, meaning she is a very small dog, you know the ones most people refer to as ankle biters. She weighs all of eight pounds and is shaved to look like her hairless cousin. She also smiles when happy. This makes her look psychotic and rabid. It's funny if you know she isn't going to try and attack you.
If you don't like little dogs, my dog is very easy to dislike (at least until you get to know her).
She doesn't really bark as much as scream. However, she only barks when there is something to bark at, never barks incessantly and sleeps far to much to cause problems at night.
So, as I stood there listening to my buddy explain that I would now be going to court over this little mutt, I began to get angry. The cops had warned me and now I was getting a ticket.
You know how they tell you that you aren't admitting guilt when you sign that ticket? Well have you ever come out innocent after signing one? Me neither.
My first thought was, "I'm going to have to de-bark this dog."
That didn't last. Have you ever looked up de-barking? Some of the sites I visited likened it to removing a person's voice box and hands because the procedure strips a dogs ability to communicate completely. I also read that it hurts and can cause further medical issues. Instead, maybe I can see if my neighbors are interested in having their ears removed? I am only joking of course but it is interesting the way we immediately choose to maim or punish the animal when it's our behavior that is the problem.
Dogs bark, how can you stop that? And why is this a matter for the police and the courts?
Anyone who has been to East Carbon knows it is a very small place. Our homes are very close to one another and a great deal of residents own dogs. In fact, one neighbor of mine has a plethora of dogs, most of which sing the blues all night, every night. But I have never even thought about calling the cops. That is what has me so blown away.
I asked Cody something as he finally handed me the ticket.
"How do they know it was my dog? And if it wasn't, can a person just make up anything they want and call the police, saddling the accused with a court date?"
As I was questioning the bewildered looking officer, who at this point probably wanted to stick my ticket where the sun doesn't shine, town councilmember David Maggio stopped by to ask about another matter.
I pounced on him.
"Look Dave, look what is happening to me! The lunacy, the tyranny!"
"You have just been served," he laughed and drove away.
I stood, dumbfounded.Where is the justice? Puff is a good dog and only barks when alarmed.
I'm going to take my dog Puff to court if I can. I'm going to introduce her to the judge and see what she thinks. Stay tuned, I'll let you know. how it goes.....

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - National legislation and presidential executive orders aren't stopping the Maine Legislature from also tackling the whole issue of gun control.
There are a number of gun control bills being talked about in Augusta right now, and the deadline for submitting bills is the Friday.
That means there's a good chance even more gun bills will be under consideration. Committee leaders and other lawmakers say the same sorts of changes being debated nationally are going to come up in the Maine Legislature: large capacity magazines, background checks at gun shows, even improving mental health laws.
The Legislature's Criminal Justice Committee will be the center for much of the debate.
The two Democrats who chair that committee say they believe it's important for Maine to deal with some of the issues here, in addition to what happens in Washington. And the Sportsmen's Alliance of Maine---which is a leading voice for gun owners -says it wants to be part of the debate. Both sides are saying they need to find reasonable, middle of the road answers to improve safety.

It's wonderful to reflect on the progress we have made at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business in the last few years. Thanks to the many dedicated people who have dared to see things in new ways, we continue to transform the school and accelerate the careers of our students.
Thinking like entrepreneurial leaders isn't easy because it can push us out of our comfort zones, but the rewards for doing so can be exhilarating. In this issue of the Huntsman Alumni Magazine, we celebrate innovation and what it has brought to the students and graduates of the Huntsman School.
It would not be fitting to talk about shifting paradigms without recognizing the work of our colleague, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, the first Jon M. Huntsman Presidential Chair in Leadership. Dr. Covey died on July 16 due to complications following a bike accident. His passing was reported around the world, and we joined the millions who mourned the loss of this great professor, leader, author, and friend. If ever there was a person who taught us all to see things in new ways, it was Professor Covey.
The required reading for this year at the Huntsman School is Dr. Covey's latest book, "The 3rd Alternative: Solving Life's Most Difficult Problems." The book is a guide to breaking away from an either-or mentality and learning to make dramatic progress by getting both sides to collaborate and craft a better third way.
Dr. Covey wrote in the "3rd Alternative" that our universities should be "seedbeds of 3rd Alternatives." At the Huntsman School the seeds have been planted, and this publication is packed with examples of their bearing fruit in the lives of our students and graduates.
In this issue you'll read about those who have found new ways to solve old problems and meet the next set of challenges. The cover story, on page 16, offers an excellent overview of innovation in the Huntsman School community. Don't miss the article about Marriner Eccles with the account of how he kept his banks open after the Crash of 1929, "with quick thinking and nerves of steel."
You'll read about Gary Stevenson, who we recognized on September 13 with our highest honor, the Distinguished Executive Alumnus Award. He now serves in a leadership position as the Presiding Bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was in 1977 that three Huntsman alums, Scott Watterson, Gary Stevenson, and Brad Sorenson, founded a company that eventually became ICON Health & Fitness. Today the company has hundreds of patents on treadmills, elliptical machines, and stationary bikes. The company is the largest developer, manufacturer, and marketer of fitness equipment in the world, and it employs more than 2,000 people at multiple locations around the world.
As you take the time to read through this publication, I believe you'll discover stories that will spark new ideas to help move your own work and life forward. In my experience, it is the people who constantly search for new insights and ideas who actually find them.

Time running out for debt-burdened PET producer La Seda
April 25, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Beleaguered polyethylene terephthalate (PET) producer La Seda de Barcelona (El Prat Llobregat, Spain) has one week left to finalize the refinancing of its €235-million ($299 million) debt before the company is forced into administration, according to reports in the Spanish media. The company's board is expected to meet next week to assess the options available. La Seda has been struggling to refinance its debt since February, as previously reported by CW. Most of La Seda's shareholders are hoping that the biggest shareholder BA Vidrio (Avintes, Portugal)...

text: Batesville, AR – The lead up to "Friday the 13th Fight Night" was an event in itself as many fights fell out and were put back together with different opponents, but the quality of fights were not compromised. The evening started off with a three round exhibition in which Kim Connor and Lucretia Meacham went toe to toe providing good excitement for what turned out to be one of the best boxing crowds in Batesville.

Midshipman Receives Black Engineer of the Year Award
Posted on: February 12, 2013 08:00 EST by Jessica Clark
A Naval Academy midshipman received the 2013 Black Engineer of the Year Award for student military leadership at the BEYA Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Global Competitiveness Conference in Washington, D.C., Feb. 9.
Midshipman 1st Class Camille Ross received the award, given annually to a service academy student, for her work as president of the academy's National Society of Black Engineers chapter.
"I'm honored to be recognized for doing a good job," said Ross, of St. Leonard, Md., on her award nomination. "It's been a lot of work, but it's always rewarding."
As NSBE president, Ross was responsible for all the budgeting and logistical planning for the chapter's events, including community service events like A Walk for Education, during which NSBE members handed out information on college applications and scholarships throughout local communities..
"I think that my leadership style is very straightforward," said Ross. "I have clear expectations and goals for NSBE and its members. Being NSBE president has helped develop me as a leader because I learned how to manage my time and resources to best benefit the group."
"Interpersonal skills on a large scale are different from one-on-one skills, and I would not have that experience if I wasn't the NSBE president," she said.
Ross also serves as her company's operations officer and is a member of the Midshipman Black Studies Group and the Golden Key International Honor Society.
A history major, she will be commissioned as a Navy ensign in May and will serve as a nuclear surface warfare officer. Her first tour will be on board USS Mustin (DDG 89) in Yokosuka, Japan.
"Midshipman Ross has been a true asset to NSBE," said Lt. Ekon George, the organization's officer representative. "Her dedication to developing her subordinates leadership skills as well as her own rivals that of a seasoned junior officer. I have no doubt she will see nothing but success in the fleet."
Each year, BEYA recognizes the many achievements of African-American leaders, military and civilian, across the country in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and leadership.
The conference offers seminars and workshops providing new information on topics affecting technology professionals including career advancement, diversity programs and specialized industry updates.

Mets could open official contract negotiations with David Wright next week
According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, the Mets could begin official contract negotiations with the agents for David Wright as early as next week.
As for Alderson's need to convince both Wright and R.A. Dickey the organization is indeed headed in the right direction, Martino writes:
"Alderson has already launched his pitch to Wright and Dickey, in conversations that took place in September. Presenting an honest assessment of the team's ability to contend next year (in summary: Anything can happen, but it will probably take another year before the Mets can finish .500 or better), the GM has assured the players that he expects greater financial flexibility before the 2014 season, and believes that the organization's young pitchers will be developed by that time."
Wright is in the final year Wright of a six-year, $55 million contract he signed during the 2006 season. He has a $16 million club option for 2013 with a $1 million buyout.
In regards to Dickey, Martino says there appears to be more "internal debate" about how to address Dickey's future, as concerns remain about his age and the injuries he's sustained over the last two years.
Dickey just completed a two-year, $7.8 million contract he signed with the Mets before the 2011 season. The Mets hold a $5 million option on Dickey for 2013 with a $300,000 buyout, after which he can become a free agent.
Michael Baron, ContributorPosted Sept. 30: In regards to David Wright, I do believe the two sides will work out a new contract that takes Wright to the end of his career. Like I said earlier, Wright's value goes beyond what he does on the field – he is a signature player in the history of the New York Mets, a home-grown superstar which is vital to their identity and brand, and is the connection between the team and the fans. Based on what the two sides have consistently said about this issue over time, it sounds as though there is common interest to get a deal done despite Wright's questions about the franchise. But again, I don't think the Mets can waive a magic wand and get this done. Actions speak louder than words and the Mets have a lot to prove both to the player and to the game they have the ability and desire to invest in their roster all while becoming a consistent winner.

OXFORD, Miss.- The Lipscomb Women's tennis team fell 7-0 at Ole Miss in Friday night. The Lady Bisons dropped to 5-3 on the season with the loss.
The Lady Bisons could not secure a victory spot in any singles or doubles matches against the Rebels.
Juniors Deahna Welcher and Jenny Bork at No. 1in doubles lost to UM's Iris Verboven and Erin Stephens 8-1.
"The doubles is improving, it was good to see the girls play better," said Borck. "Playing girls at that level (SEC), we'd need to be more aggressive, but also make less errors.
"Those two go hand in hand, but that's what it takes to beat great teams."
Doubles at No. 2 and No. 3 also lost their respective matches.
In singles, Welcher at No. 1 gave the match away to Zalina Kharudinova in straight sets 6-0, 6-2.
"Everyone competed in both singles and doubles, even though the scores showed otherwise, every point was close," said Welcher.
"I think not being able to close games when we have the advantage is what kept us from having closer scores or a win. The results would have been much different if we were able to do that."
Melissa Kromer at No. 2 lost to UM's Caroline Rohde Moe 6-1, 6-0 and Laura Kent at No. 3 lost to Julia Jones 6-1, 6-2.
"It was a tough match that allowed me to see certain aspects of my game that need focusing on," said Kent. "I am looking forward to getting some rhythm on the outdoor courts to carry into rest of the season."
At singles No. 4, UM's Mai El Kamash defeated Borck with the score of 7-5, 6-2.
Lorena Djuknic at No. 5 and Sierra Troxel at No. 6 also faced straight-set defeats against UM's Eris Stephens and Marya Milutonovic.
Just a few matches away from the conference, the Lady Bisons are set to play against Morehead State next weekend in Morehead, Kentucky.

This story, here and now, will be a story of great adventure, thrill, and terror. One cannot even begin to imagin. It's also a story of friendship, and of finding your way in this crazy, noodly world. I can only hope that each of you will enjoy the proceedings. Oh, By the way, you can call me Farfalle Flynn.
YOU DON'T KNOW about me unless you've ever taken a gander at a book called The Adventures of Messaluna Farfalle. But that's neither here nor there. That book was penned by ol' Treecosys, and He told the truth, give or take a few drunken nights, and the Friday holidays. There were many exaggerations, but he mainly hit put the meatball on the pasta. But that's no matter either. I've never met anyone whose lied at one time or another, without it it was Mammaw Molly, or that Parrot, or Macaroni. Mammaw Molly, Messaluna's Memmaw Molly that is, and Pappaw Mosey are written about in that book, As I recall is mostly a true book, with random and blagerant exaggerations as i recall, and as I said before.
Now the way that that there book..er...pamplet comes into play is, Messaluna and I found some Pasta the Flying Spagetti Monster done left in Marsala Cave over yonder and it made us quite full. We got 6,000 pounds a piece, and over the course of say...10 months, bein' that each of our families are about 10-11 members, we finished it all up, it was all golden and delicious just as the Flyin' Spagettdiety intended. It was an awful sight o' pasta when it was all piled up with sauce. Well, Ol' Judge Platter, He took it on up and put it on his dinner table as well, and it fetched no reverence from he and his because he didn't believe in saying "Arrgh" before meals, but It sure was good, and it fetched us a great surplus of food in the town-- more than anyone could tell what to do with. Ol' Pappaw Mosey, He took me for his grandchild and she would civilize me, and take me away from my rougher, more pasta-friendly life. But I'll tell ya, it was sure rough livin' in that there house all the time, considerin' how a Pastafarian could not even see anything remotely resembling Him out any of those dismal windows he had. So when I couldn't take it any longer, I lit out. I got into my old clothes and boots, and was free! But Messaluna he hunted me up and said he was going to start a chain of high-class pasta resturants if I should go back to Papaw and be respectful. So that's just what i did.
Papaw he cried over me, and called me a poor stale noodle, he called me alot of other names but didn't mean no hurt by them. He bought me some new clothes again, and I couldn't do a thing but sweat and sweat and feel horribly cramped. Well, then the old man commenced again. Papaw rung the bell for supper and you had to come on time. When you sat down, you couldn't start eating right away, you had to wait for her to tuck down her head and do one of them Chris-Tin prayers, and the food was all cooked by itself. I actually prefer things cooked with each other, cause the juices and sauces come together and things go better.

Northern New York residents who are uninsured or who do not have affordable health coverage will be able to choose an appropriate, affordable plan that fits their needs, beginning Tuesday.
On that date, a six-month open enrollment period begins through the NY State of Health, an online tool people may use to compare and shop for health insurance coverage. This is a part of the federal Affordable Care Act.
Kyle R. Kotary, director of external affairs, outreach and marketing, said people can enroll online, via telephone or in person through marketplace navigators. Navigator roles are held locally by ACR Health, the North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council, the Health Initiative of St. Lawrence County and the Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce.
New Yorkers will be able to select from any of the 16 qualified health insurers and 10 dental insurers across four levels of plans bronze, silver, gold or platinum, Mr. Kotary said.
Residents who do not have insurance, those who pay for unaffordable insurance when premiums total more than 9.5 percent of annual income, and those who experience specific life-changing events, such as having a baby or getting married, can shop for insurance through the marketplace. People who are insured, but pay less than 9.5 percent cap, will remain in their plans.
To help local residents decide which options are the best for them, NYS State of Health has contracted with the four local organizations to provide step-by-step guidance.
We cant help them choose a plan, but can show them their options, said Steve Wood, community health coordinator of Community Health Advocates, a program offered through ACR Health. A big part of our job is showing the plans and processing through that.
ACR Health, he said, already receives about 20 calls daily about the setup, and now navigators are just waiting for Tuesday to get here.
Mr. Wood said a navigators role will be to have a brief conversation on why its important to have health insurance, take down the clients personal information, plug that into the system and go through plans that come up.
Donna Hynes, insurance program coordinator at North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council, said people can mull over information after their appointment, and either go back online and select a plan or come back to a navigator and have that person help them finish up with the process.
Mr. Wood said aside from the five-year navigator contracts, agencies expect to be even more busy continuing to enroll people in Medicaid and Child Health Plus throughout the year.
Since the entire system is new, Mrs. Hynes said, she does not know how long appointments will take, nor the extent of how busy or booked navigators will be. She said the council has more than 300 letters going out to people within Jefferson and Lewis counties who have been waiting for Tuesday to arrive.
So many people need coverage, she said.
That includes small businesses and their employees. Lynn M. Pietroski, chief executive officer and president of the Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce, said the organizations Small Business Assistance program has helped educate small businesses regarding their options since March.
This is one of the largest initiatives in New York state, and what better way to be than to be a conduit to businesses and community members, Mrs. Pietroski said. If people come here and see us as a resource, then weve fulfilled our mission. The unknown is awful, but theres a lot of things in place that will help with those unknowns.
For more information, contact the NYS State of Health at 855-355-5777 or www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov; ACR Health at 475-2430 or www.aidscommunityresources.com; North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council at 788-8533 or www.ncppc.org; the Health Initiative at 261-4760 or www.gethealthslc.org, or the chamber at 788-4400 or www.watertownny.com.
