NDG&F's summer Understandin
safety reminders
The North Dakota Game and Fish
Department urges boaters to keep
safety in mind when enjoying time
on the water.
A boat should have enough life
jackets on board for all passengers.
North Dakota law requires all chil-
dren ages 10 and younger to wear a
personal flotation device while in
boats of less than 27 feet in length.
The law also requires all personal
watercraft users to wear a life jacket,
as well as anyone towed on skis,
tubes, boards or other similar de-
vices. However, state law allows an
individual who is at least 16 years of
age to Windsurf or boardsail without
wearing a PFD.
Water users should make sure to
wear life jackets that are the appro—
priate size, and in good condition.
Water skiers and tubers should wear
a life jacket with four nylon straps
rather than one with a zipper, be—
cause straps are stronger than zippers
upon impact with water. Anglers or
persons paddling a canoe should opt
for a PFD that is comfortable enough
to wear for an entire outing.
It is also important that children
wear a PFD while swimming. Swim-
mers should know the water’s depth,
as serious injuries can occur from
diving into water. Large objects hid-
den below the water’s surface can
lead to significant injury.
Failure to wear a personal flota-
tion device is the main reason people
lose their lives in water recreation ac-
cidents.
North Dakota boaters also are re—
minded that marine VHF radios are
an important part of boat safety that
should not be improperly used by op-
erators. These radios are intended for
boat operators who are in distress
and facing an emergency situation.
Regulations to help ensure safe
boating this summer are found in the
2018-20 North Dakota Fishing
Guide. A more comprehensive listing
is available in the North Dakota Boat
and Water Safety Guide or the Boat
North Dakota education book.
Test information can help
parents, Baesler says
BISMARCK ~ State Superin-
tendent Kirsten Baesler says student
results from the North Dakota State
Assessment for English and mathe-
matics are now available for parents
to request from their childrens’
schools. Baesler said they offer help-
ful information about the progress of
each student’s learning.
The results are called Individual
Student Reports. The North Dakota
State Assessment itself was given
from March 18 through May 10 to
students in grades three through eight,
and to students in the 10th grade.
Making assessment scores
quickly available have made the re—
sults more valuable to parents and
teachers, Baesler said. Parents who
wish to see the reports should request
them from their child’s school prin—
cipal, the superintendent said.
Printed copies could be sent to
parents, or they could posted on a se—
cure website that would allow par—
ents to look at their childrens’
reports, Bauer said. Teachers may
also find them useful in deciding
how to change instruction for indi-
vidual students, and to make instruc—
tional plans for the next school year.
The North Dakota State Assess-
ment’s website has information that
is tailored for parents and students at:
https://ndsa.portal.airast.org/re—
sources/students-and-families/. The
site has guides for interpreting the
English and mathematics reports.
6 ways to stay solicitor safe
With spring and summer in full
swing, Better Business Bureau® of
Minnesota and North Dakota wants
consumers to be mindful of dishon-
est door-to-door sales tactics.
Though many door—to-door sales-
people operate honestly and repre-
sent trustworthy businesses, there are
others who want to make a quick
buck and move on as quickly as pos-
sible, sometimes leaving customers
wondering if they’ve just been
scammed. .
Door-to-door salespeople could
be pitching anything from alarm sys-
tems and landscaping services to cut-
lery and food storage. Some
charitable organizations conduct
door-to-door fundraisers, too. Before
buying anything, though, make sure
to follow these guidelines as recom—
mended by BBB:
Ask for identification: A reputable
seller won’t be afraid to provide you
with all requested information, in—
cluding a photo ID and business
card.
Inquire about licensing: Many
city ordinances require door-tosdoor
salespeople to have a solicitor’s li—
cense. Ask the salesperson if they’ve
obtained proper licensing or'checked
in with City Hall.
Verify the person and the busi—
ness: Ask for the seller’s offer in
writing and research the business
after the seller is gone. Contact them
directly to verify the salesperson is
an employee and research the com-
pany at www.bbb.org. You can al-
ways wait to make a purchase.
Read the contract: Don’t skip the
fine print! Make sure you understand
the terms and conditions before sign-
ing anything. You can always say no,
even in the face of high-pressure
sales tactics.
Know your rights: The Federal
Trade Commission’s Three—Day
Cooling-Off Rule gives consumers
three days to cancel purchases more
than $25 that are made in their home
or at a location that’s not the seller’s
permanent place of business. By law,
salespeople should give the customer
a receipt and a cancellation form that
can be sent to the business to cancel
the agreement. Businesses must give
customers a refund within 10 days of
receiving the cancellation notice.
It’s OK to be skeptical: Some
consumers feel bad not giving sellers
the benefit of the doubt, but if some—
thing seems not-quite-right, don't be
afraid to ask clarifying questions or
pass on the offer altogether.
Don’t forget, BBB is here to sup-
port consumers before and after
making a purchase. Along with re-
searching a business on
www.bbb.org or by calling 800—646-
6222, people who have been
scammed or think they may have
been scammed should report their
experience on our Scam Tracker at
wwwbbb.org/scamtracker/us.

Dear Savvy Senior,
What can you tell me about the
different enrollment periods for
Medicare? I’m planning to work past
age 65 and understand Medicare of—
fers Initial, Special and General pe—
riods in which I can enroll. How does
this work?
Medicare Illiterate
Dear Medicare,
The rules for signing up for
Medicare can be quite confusing, es-
pecially if you plan to work past age
65. But it’s critical to understand the
ins and outs of enrolling because the
consequences of missing a deadline
can be costly and last a lifetime.
Here’s what you should know about
Medicare’s three different enrollment
periods.
Initial Enrollment Period
At age 65, the Initial Enrollment
Period is the first opportunity that
most people are eligible to enroll in
Medicare.
If you’re already claiming Social
Security benefits at least 4 months
before age 65, you are automatically
enrolled in Medicare, with coverage
starting the first day of month you
turn 65. If you’re not receiving So-
cial Security benefits, it’s up to you
to enroll in Medicare either online at
SSA.gov/Medicare, over the phone
at 800-772-1213 or through your
local Social Security office.
You can enroll any time during
the Initial Enrollment Period, which
is a seven—month period that includes
the three months before, the month
of, and the three months after your
65th birthday.
It’s best to enroll three months be-
fore your birth month to ensure your
coverage starts when you turn 65.
If, ,however, you plan to keep
working and have health coverage
from your employer, or from a
spouse’s employer, you may want to
delay Medicare Part B , which covers
outpatient services, and Part D,
which covers prescription drugs. But
first check with the human resources
department to see how your em-
ployer insurance works with
Medicare.
Typically, if your employer has
fewer than 20 employees, Medicare
will be your primary insurer and you
should enroll. But if you work for a
company that has 20 or more em-
ployees, your employer’s group
health plan will be your primary in-
surer as long as you remain an active
employee. If this is the case, you

We miss you, Dad!

Tom Ray and Bev and Jerry N 011 and families."
By Jim Miller
You can enroll any
time during the Ini-
tial Enrollment Pe-
riod, which is a
seven-month period
that includes the
three months be-
fore, the month of,
and the three
months after your
65th'birthday.
don’t need to enroll in Part B or Part
D when you turn 65 if you’re satis~
fied with the coverage you are get-
ting through your job. But in most
cases, unless you’re contributing to a
Health Savings Account, you should
at least sign-up for Medicare Part A,
which is free and covers hospital
services.
Special Enrollment Period
If you delay Part B and Part D
past age 65, you can sign up for
Medicare during the Special Enroll—
ment Period. Once you (or your
spouse) stop working and you no
longer have group health coverage,
you have eight months to enroll in
Part B. But if you miss that deadline,
you’ll pay a late-enrollment penalty
for the rest of yoUr life. The penalty
increases your premiums by 10 per-
cent for each 12-month period that
you don’t have coverage.
The window for Part D is shorter.
You must sign up for Part D within
two months of losing drug coverage.
If you go 63 days or more without
drug coverage, you’ll pay a lifetime
