Extractions: Minutes for Legislative Committee, January 24, 2002 Present: John Boland, Peggy Hunter, Wayne Jennings, Wendy Lacska, Michael Luger, Terry Lydell, Allen Selinski, Chris Thompson, Bill Zimniewicz 1. Thompson called the meeting to order at 2:15 and the minutes of December 18th were approved. 2. Announcements - There is a deficit at the state, this may greatly effect our efforts. As of this morning the US Senate approved an education bill that may include more testing. We need to wait to see the language and reaction of this bill. 3. Consultant - The sub committee interviewed four candidates. Two were found to be excellent. One of these requested $10,000 plus expenses. The other, John Boland, requested $9,000 for the job. John has been a state legislator, the chairman of the Metropolitian Council, and the Chief of Staff for Congressman Bruce Vento. Thompson will propose that we hire Boland for the next two years, at $9,000. This will happen at the board meeting on January 4th, 2002. 4. Platform - We discussed the number of new charter schools that are popping up across the state, but decided to not add this to the platform. We discussed some language concerns for parts of the platform. Thompson will put the platform together and email to those preset at this meeting by the end of the week. It will be reviewed by those individuals, so Thompson can present it to the board on January 4th. The committee prioritized the items as follows: (we also talked about getting the input of our new consultant)

Extractions: LAH/BNPs do not duplicate existing services. But they will link people with local adult day centers, meals on wheels programs, massage therapy, social events at local places of worship and more. That means seniors or caregivers can call one number to get connected with any needed service available in their area. Watkins, who has worked with three different programs, notes that individual neighborhoods strive to meet different types of needs. For example, the seniors in the Conway/Battle Creek program tend to have a lot of family living in the neighborhood, so the focus is on providing resources for caregivers. On the other hand, the Summit Hill program has a lot of clients who never married or had children, so the program places an emphasis on social events. Programs are invested in the community: one program sets a table up at a local grocery store one day a month to answer questions and hand out information. Others have a column in the neighborhood paper or distribute a quarterly newsletter. Many invite people to gather on a regular basis at a local church to hear a speaker, or exercise or visit. Most have a weekly clinic (like the one Helen Rozycki attends every week) for blood pressure checks, foot care and coffeecake.

CE programs are generally offered in collaboration with other UMD colleges and departments. Students who plan to use credits earned through CE to meet certificate and degree requirements must meet all UMD curricular requirements as stated in this catalog. In addition, students must contact their chosen major department and apply for admission to the appropriate UMD school or college through the Office of Admissions. Credit courses taken through CE are included on UMD fee statements and billings and are automatically added to transcripts. There are restrictions on the total amount of credits transferred into a Graduate School degree; students should contact the Graduate School well in advance of beginning studies for information about these restrictions.

Minnesota Medical Association - Advocacy News
Choice program, announced last July, forced 14,000 seniors to find new carriers.Medicare+Choice programs are currently available in only 13 minnesota counties
http://www.mnmed.org/advocacyNews/medicaregeographicdisparities.cfm

Extractions: Congress Narrows Medicare Geographic Disparity Minnesota seniors may finally get some relief from paying Medicare premiums that are among the highest in the country. In December, Congress passed legislation that sets minimum Medicare managed care reimbursement rates to help abate disparities in cost, type, and variety of medical services available to beneficiaries nationwide. Congress also expanded Medicare coverage for a number of preventive services, including pap smears, pelvic exams, and colonoscopies for average-risk individuals. Medicare now has a benefit that includes advanced mammogram technologies and medical nutrition therapy services for beneficiaries with diabetes or renal disease. In the same bill, Congress directed the U.S. General Accounting Office to study the appropriateness of physicians offices providing specialist services ordinarily furnished in hospital outpatient departments. The new Medicare payment rates, which go into effect March 1, will affect Minnesota counties differently. Counties in metropolitan statistical areas with populations of more than 250,000, will receive minimum monthly payments of $525. For counties located outside metropolitan statistical areas, the minimum rate will be $475. This translates into a 9 percent increase for Ramsey County, a 12.5 percent increase for Hennepin County, and 26 percent increases for Scott, Sherburne, and Wright counties over previous 2001 rates in effect in January and February.
Citizens League | Seniors With Disabilities In 2030 Final Report, Executive Summ
Overall, housing programs funded wholly or in providing transportation for seniorswith disabilities comprehensive transportation service in Greater minnesota.
http://www.citizensleague.net/projects/aging2030/report1.htm

Extractions: [_private/headers/aging2030.htm] Final Report of the Citizens League Study Committee As the 21st century approaches, the aging of the baby boom generation is receiving a great deal of attention. By the year 2030, our society will be much more heavily composed of individuals over the age of 65 than ever before. This demographic shift will have a profound impact on everything from family relations to state budgets. This report combines an understanding of those services currently available with what the demographic trends tell us about future demand, and then outlines recommendations for system improvements that will allow the state to better prepare for a growing population of seniors with disabilities. The state of Minnesota must begin planning now, because it simply cannot continue on its current path. If the spending patterns of the 1990s were to be continued through the year 2030, the growth of our senior population would increase state spending on health and human services to 65 percent of the total budget.

Extractions: Continuing education at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, is reinventing itself once more. University College Duluth is now Continuing Education (CE), a name that clearly communicates the role the 24 member staff plays in supporting the outreach mission and vision of the University of Minnesota, Duluth.

An array of credit and noncredit courses, workshops, seminars, certificates, travel programs, high school college credit programs, University for Seniors programs, and distance learning opportunities are available through continuing education. In addition, CE supports UMD degree programs through evening, summer, and nontraditional courses. Students from all walks of life have entered the University system through continuing education. The highly customer-oriented focus of continuing education provides personal service at all levels. For example, distance education innovations supported by CE have kept UMD at the forefront in our region with faculty and students meeting live, via the Internet, interactive television, course-specific Web sites and Web-crossing sites, and in intensive formats at select locations off campus. Full-time counselors, program directors, faculty, administrators, and staff at CE work directly with students. Recently, UMD master of education degrees were granted to educators around the state who participated in the College of Education and Human Service Profession M.Ed. Partnership Cohort program. The candidates for the M.Ed. degree become members of groups called cohorts that represent educators in a specific geographical region, such as the International Falls Cohort, or a specific organization, such as the University of Minnesota Extension Educators Cohort. The UM Extension Cohort II and the Duluth Cohort 6 is currently seeking members.
