On Tuesday, November 25,
the Retired & Senior Volunteer
Program (RSVP), along with
KY Seniors Saving Medicare
and the Montgomery County
Recreation ,Commission, hosted
an RSVP wellness event for all
Gateway Counties at the Civic
Center in Mt. Sterling. There
was a dual program with both a
presentation about our Hispanic
neighbors and discount prescrip-
tion drugs.
During this season, when we
are historically reminded of the
unity of differing cultures,
RSVP planned last month's pro-
gram to incorporate a presenta-
tion by a Hispanic couple, Dr.
and Mrs. Victor Ballestero. He
gomery County High School.
While the Ballesteros led the
program, sharing very interest-
ing information about the cul-
ture of their homeland of Costa
Rica, many questions were
directed to them as well, so that
the interchange was very
enlightening. This included
information about the geograph-
ical area, a temperate climate
where the temperatures stay in
the 70s most of the time. The
primary religion is Roman
Catholic, which then is taught
and practiced in their schools,
though students of other reli-
gions can opt out of such specif-
ic segments.
Schools have a great deal of
teaches in the Education Depart- discipline, and teachers, as well
ment at Morehead State Uni- as the elderly, are hel.._d i L hig.__h

esteem. There are larger families
than is the norm in the U.S.. and
medical care is provided for
everyone. They have no mili-
tary. Their dietary staple is rice
at every meal, along with meat
or fish and lots of tropical fruits
and vegetables, so obesity is
uncommon. Dr. Ballestero takes
groups periodically for tours of
Costa Rica, which sounded very
inviting.
In addition to the above pro-
gram, a special effort had been
made to invite community
seniors who may not usually
attend the RSVP Wellness
events, to come this day, if they
would have inquires about dis-
count prescription drug help.
Multiple small-group informa-
tion sessions were held for those
who had this concern or
Medicare-related quesnons.
Ethel Howard, Project Coord-
inator with KY Seniors Saving
Medicare, distributed lists of
pharmaceutical companies who
have discount programs, as well
as Personal Health Care Journals
to keep track of medical related
information. There are several
volunteers in Montgomery
County trained by KSSM. who
are available to help Medicare
recipients sort out their Medi-
care Summary Notices or ques-
tions with issues about these
matters. Those having received
Medicare-training from Bath
County are Ada June Thompson
and Lon Wells. The central num-
ber to request Medicare help is
either 1-606-783-5125 or toll-
free, where you can leave a mes-
sage for call-back, 1-866-275-
5772.
Part of the welcoming com-
mittee for the seniors were Kaye
Henry and Peggy Pierson,
Menit'ee County clowns. Fol-
lowing the program, a nice lunch
was served by the Mt Sterling
Recreation Commission; there-
after, door prizes were awarded
amidst some readings of a
Thanksgiving poem and touches
