Need help or have questions about Medicare? The Six County Association of Governments (SCAOG) recently hired Doug Kirkham to manage their SHIP and SMP programs. SHIP stands for Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program and SMP stands for Senior Medicare Patrol. The SHIP program offers Medicare eligible beneficiaries, their family and care givers free unbiased assistance in navigating the many decisions around the various Medicare programs and can explain the various options available. The SMP program empowers and assists Medicare beneficia-
ries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse through outreach, counseling, and education. If you have questions about your Medicare coverage or prescription plans, or if you are struggling to pay for your prescription drug plans, call Doug Kirkham at 435-893-0726 M-Th 8-5pm. There are several programs available to help cover some of these costs. He can help walk you through the process to see if you qualify for extra help. If you are aware of any fraud, errors or abuse of Medicare he can
also help direct that information to correct agencies. There continues to be high numbers of scams and fraud cases directed to Medicare beneficiaries. Remember to be cautious and not provide any sensitive information to any untrusted person that reaches out to you via email or phone calls. For those becoming Medicare eligible due to turning 65 or because of a disability there is a free Welcome to Medicare Virtual Fair on June 23 that is available nationally. Look for information on this event in the coming weeks posted in The Pyramid.

School names Readopoly winners UofU names Sanpete students to dean’s list
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS
LEFT: The winners are left to right: Ximena Anda 4th grade, Annie Madsen, 5th Grade, and Jenna Christiansen, 6th Grade. RIGHT: Most improved reader Peter Jensen, 4th grade. Spring City Elementary School held its final drawing in the “Readopoly” challenge. The participating students really had a great time reading the books from the various genres, wondering what the Community Bookshelf or Comic Relief
cards would have them do, and hoping to roll high numbers on the dice. Many read books they would never have checked out and found out they enjoyed them. As they passed “GO” they received a ticket for the drawing. The winners are left to right:
Ximena Anda 4th grade, Annie Madsen, 5th Grade, and Jenna Christiansen, 6th Grade. We also selected a Grand Prize Winner for the most improved, participating reader this year. That award goes to Peter Jensen, 4th
grade. He read at least one chapter book per week and was always ready to answer questions about the book(s). Thanks again to the Sanpete Cares Coalition and Libbie Hinckley for providing these prizes.
