Your new Medicare cardis coming soon.

From now until April2019, Medicare is mailingnew cards to the more than60 million Americans withMedicare. The 3.9 millionTexans with Medicare willbegin receiving their cardsthis month.

The new cards will nolonger have your SocialSecurity number on them.Instead, they’ll have a newMedicare number that’sunique to you and will beused for only your Medi-care coverage.

Don’t worry. Your Medi-care benefits will remainexactly the same. Nothingabout your health care cov-erage will change.

A recent federal law re-quires the removal of So-cial Security numbers fromMedicare cards to help pro-tect you from identitytheft. Many people askedfor the new safeguard, andCongress responded.

You don’t need to doanything or pay anyone toget your new card.

If someone claiming tobe from Medicare calls youand requests your SocialSecurity number or otherpersonal information,that’s a scam. Hang up andcall Medicare at 1-800-633-4227 to report the incident.

Likewise, if anyone triesto charge you a fee for thenew card -- or for process-ing a “temporary” card un-til your new card arrives --

You’re getting a newMedicare card

that’s a scam, too. It’s an-other scheme to get yourbank or credit card infor-mation.

Medicare will never callyou uninvited and ask youto provide personal infor-mation to receive your newcard.

Medicare will send yourcard to the address youhave on file with Social Se-curity. So, if you need toupdate your mailing ad-dress, contact Social Secu-rity at ssa.gov/myaccountor call 1-800-772-1213.

Because of the manycards to be mailed, they’rebeing sent out in waves –several states at a time.Texans with Medicare willreceive their cards over thenext month.

When you do receiveyour card, destroy your oldone. Don’t just toss it in thetrash, where a crook canget hold of it. Cut it intosmall pieces so that yourSocial Security numbercan’t be read.

Then start using yournew card right away. Doc-tors and other health careproviders know the newcards are beginning to ar-

rive in mailboxes and willask for yours when youneed care, so carry it withyou.

Protect it as you wouldany other card with per-sonal information. Remov-ing your Social Securitynumber will safeguard youagainst most identitytheft, but thieves mightstill use it to try to get med-ical services.

One final note: If you’rein a Medicare Advantageplan, your plan’s ID cardwill remain your main cardfor health care benefits.Keep it and use it whenyou require care, thoughit’s smart to have your newMedicare card as well.

For years, people whomistakenly gave out theirMedicare numbers havefallen victim to identitytheft and discovered theirbank accounts emptied.The redesigned Medicarecards should help preventthat.

Look for your new cardin your mailbox soon. Ifyou have any questions orn e e d h e l p , v i s i tmedicare.gov or call 1-800-633-4227.

AUSTIN — The WhiteHouse l as t week an -nounced a preliminarynew trade agreement hadbeen secured between theUnited States and Mexico.

While details of the pactare forthcoming, the WhiteHouse said the agreementwould “create more recip-rocal trade that grows theeconomy, supports high-paying jobs for Americanworkers, protects Ameri-can intellectual property”and “is a mutually benefi-cial win for North Ameri-can farmers, ranchers,workers, and businesses.”

Gov. Greg Abbott react-ed on Aug. 27, saying, “To-day’s agreement betweenthe U.S. and Mexico is astep in the right direction.Texas is the nation’s topexporting state, and withMexico being our largesttrading partner, this newdeal should be good for theTexas economy. Canada isour second-largest tradepartner, and I remainhopeful that negotiationswith Canada will be equal-ly productive.”

The White House re-leased a transcript of Pres-ident Donald Trump andPresident Enrique PeñaNieto of Mexico discussingwhat a new agreement be-tween the two countrieswould require. Trump saidcars imported from Mexi-co would have to contain agreater percentage of partsand equipment originatingin North America. Duringtheir conversation, Nietoasked Trump to includeCanada in the agreement,but Trump stopped shortof making such a promise.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn,R-Texas, hailed the pros-pect of a new trade agree-ment, saying, “This is apositive step and now weneed to ensure the finalagreement brings Canadainto the fold and has bipar-tisan support. A trilateral

These days, thereare innumerablesources for weatherforecasts widelyavailable. Unfortunate-ly, these sources don’talways say the samething. So, how do youknow which weatherforecasting service orapp is offering depend-able information youcan trust?

According to Accu-Weather founder,president and chair-man Dr. Joel Myers,choosing the mostaccurate source ofweather forecasts andwarnings will go a longway to help keep peopleand their families safeand help to protectbusinesses’ propertyand assets as well asminimize liability.

“The greater theaccuracy of weatherforecasts and warn-ings, the better thedecisions people andbusinesses can make inthe face of hazardousweather events, themore lives are saved,the more property isprotected, and themore losses are re-duced,” said Myers.

The good news isthat weather forecastsare becoming moreaccurate, thanks toimproved data-gather-ing technology, com-puters powerfulenough to analyze itfaster than ever beforeand better algorithms.Personal technologyhas also made itpossible for individualsto get more localizedweather reports, withsmartphone apps ableto provide weatherpredictions based on auser’s exact GPSlocation.

Despite improvedcapabilities and tech-nologies, many weatherproviders continue toregularly cough upinaccurate or mislead-ing forecasts to con-sumers and businessesrelying on them. Why?Sometimes it’s due to aflawed algorithm.Other times, it’s a lackof high-quality data,the systemic pessimismor optimism of a

All weather apps arenot equal.

“John McCain was bornto lead,” Abbott said in anews release. “Throughouthis military career, hisyears of cruel imprison-ment and torture as a pris-oner of war, his decades ofdedicated service in Con-gress, and his quest as acandidate for the highestoffice, his fighting spiritcou ld not be broken .Though he often couldhave chosen the easierpath in life, John McCainwould never surrender hislove of country.

On theotherhandy.o.l.o.By Lewis Spearman

CROSBY – When theSuperintendent of CrosbyISD Scott Davis uninten-tional quoted the bandTraffic in the song “LowStomp of High Heal Boys”last month everyonejumped to the conclusionthat “living beyond allyour means” was a badthing.

Pretty sure “LowStomp of High Heal Boys”should be our theme songfor the next five years orso as we quit digging andclimb out of the difficulty.There is such a thing asU-Tube for those unfamil-iar with the song, it isworth a listen.

Whatever else can besaid of the years 2014 toearly 2018, Crosby hadpanache’ a plenty andwas the envy of many arival with a new stadium,a new pro-football styledscore board, fireworks,and dazzling stunts likesmoke swirling skydivers.It is far more fun toattend a football game inthe guise of ‘Cow BellRinging Rednecks’ than‘Austere Auditors’. So,here is another way oflooking at the financialcrisis, “You Only LiveOnce.”

One of the intangiblesgained by all the lavishdressing was that most ofthe students at the highschool got involved insomething school related.Who wouldn’t want tojoin JROTC when theyare getting a new schoolwing and a firing range.And in a highly life andmoney saving way, drugusage dropped dramati-cally, or so I am told.

And officially, we don’tknow what happened.

Sure, we changedcurriculum a few times ata cost of $75,000 a popbut we needed to knowwhat way to teach suitedCrosby. Turns out wewere right all along, butwe had to look at alterna-tives to come to under-stand that. You justcannot leave that toexperience, even thoughwe ultimately did.

Upon learning that theTEA is not investigatingthe district or formeradministrators one has towonder where the districtcame up $7.6 millionshort in M&O and havingto borrow from construc-tion debt. The districtmay have spent $8Million more in 2016-2017 than it collected butit put on a great show.

Our community mustback SuperintendentScott Davis to correct ourfinancial woes. Hepromised to be the“invisible sage,” I am toldour public demanded in ameeting attended mostlyby school staff. No waitthat is “transparent.” AsGod is my witness thatwill be a new experiencefor this reporter. Thetransparent district didnot return phone callsabout Carla Merkaleaving to go to Pasadenanor did it return any callswhen the second financialperson exited to confirmor deny that it hadhappened.

When trustees askedabout the practice ofallowing $50,000 can beused by administrationfrom the fund balance tohandle small cost over-runs they were told “It isjust a common practice.”not revealing that wherethe fund balance was$10.6 Million in August2016 it had declined to$5.4 Million in 2017. Thatwas not transparent orthe work of an “invisiblesage.”

A sincere quote from aman I have come torespect is, “When you askan academic a question,they are answeringanother question thanthe one you asked.”

Have you noticed thatthe migrating humming-birds have arrived? Morebutterflies seem to bearound as well. Instead offilling those feeders, per-haps a better choice wouldbe to plant host and feed-ing plants for these tinyfriends.

Butterfly habitat is in acritical stage in this coun-try, due to our passion forlarge mowed lawns, whichtake away much of ourweedy wildscapes. In ad-dition, what flower bedsare planted do not alwayscontain plants that wouldbe of help to sustain thesepopulations. When youadd the indiscriminate useof insecticides, it adds upto a triple whammy forkeeping these creatures atpopulations large enoughto continue in the future.

When folks see caterpil-lars on their flowers andvegetables, they immedi-ately reach for the bugspray. Most of these“worms” are larvae ofmoths and butterflies. Adecision needs to be madeabout whether a perfectrose or tomato is worth adead butterfly. Sometimesit is, sometimes it isn’t. Butawareness is the point; aninformed decision, howev-er painful, is a better deci-s ion . Hand-p ick ing acaterpillar off one plantcan be more effective, andbetter for your health,than broadcasting insecti-cides into the garden.

Placing plants for but-

Habitats for Butterfliesand Hummingbirds

terflies to feed upon is onething; they also need “host”plants that will house thecaterpillars that will thencocoon and become butter-flies. Most folks haveheard about the Monarchbutterflies and their needfor milkweed plants. Plac-ing milkweed among yourother plants can not onlyprovide that critical habi-tat for the monarchs, butwhen they totally devourthe milkweed in the spaceof a few hours, your bedstill looks presentable, be-cause the milkweed istucked in among otherplants. And think of old-fashioned plants when youplan, like lantana and zin-nias, which the butterflieslike to sit and feed upon.One more thing – if it hasbeen very dry, considerproviding a patch of mudnear your butterfly plants.The butterflies get miner-als from playing in themud!

Hummingbirds are alsoaffected by these samesorts of issues. They needflowers that are ideally ofa shape that suits theirbeaks, usually of a tubularshape. Liatris, pentas,salvias and shrimp plantsall provide these flowers.Think about how red, or-ange, yellow, white, pink,blue, purple, and lavenderwould look in your beds –all attract the humming-birds. And if you do usefeeders, keep them reason-ably small, and change

their contents frequently.Spoiled sugar-water canharm these fascinatingcreatures. Lists of appro-priate flowers for hum-mingbirds and butterfliescan be found on the web.

Now, back to the gar-den: flower bulbs should beshowing up soon in thestores; buy now and throwthem in the chiller, toplant around Christmasand New Year’s Day. Nas-turtium seeds can be sown,as well as bluebonnets andpoppies; snapdragons andother cool-weather flowersshould begin to show up inthe garden centers in potsfor planting.

If you’re thinking vege-tables, now is the time to“go green.” Chard, collards,spinach all can be startedfrom seed now. Manyherbs do very well in ourfall and winter weather, solook for oregano, parsley,cilantro and rosemary, ifyou don’t have them al-ready. Having a fall crop oftomatoes for Thanksgivingis always a comfort; get theplants in now and you’llhave braggin ’ r ights .Strawberries may begin toshow up in stores: variet-ies best for our area areChandler, Sequoia, All-star, and Cardinal. Plantthem high; strawberrieshate wet feet, and theydon’t like snails and slugs,either. Mulching theplants with hay helps boththese issues.

A lot of folks are notic-ing fall webworms in the

nut trees right now. Thisis usually the big infesta-tion time. Once again,these are caterpillars. Ifyou can break the bagopen, the birds will solveyour problem, but you canalso get some BT (bacillusthuringensis) insecticide inthe bags and kill the cat-erpillars. Unfortunatelywith pecan trees, the web-worm sacks are usually toohigh to reach.

If you have a lot ofhouse plants that havebeen spending their sum-mer on the patio, youmight want to start a planof action for their transferback inside. First, checkthe plants for any infesta-tions of scale, aphids, orants who have decided thepots are nice places to nest!Trim them up, give them alight feeding, and tidy upthe outsides of the pots. Ifyou can begin to slowlychange them from full sunto partial sun to shade,they will be less likely tolose their leaves and lookforlorn when you get theminto the low-light condi-tions inside. When you domove them in (usuallywhen that first big frontcomes in October), remem-ber that the humidity lev-els are considerably drierinside. Don’t leave themstanding in water, which isworse than not watering atall, but try to raise themoisture level by mistingor leaving a pan of waterto evaporate nearby.
