I remember the well just outside the kitchen door, with a wooden top and a bucket and rope to wind around a log. Most of the water they used came from here.

Campobello home robbed, Landrum man charged with first-degree burglary, grand larceny Eddie Travis Taylor, 36, of 5466 N. Highway 14, Landrum, was charged on Tuesday with first-degree burglary and grand larceny, value between $2,000 and $10,000, According to a

Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office report.

The sheriff’s office report says Taylor is accused of breaking into a vacant house on Mount Lebanon Road in Campobello on the

morning of July 27 and stealing numerous items, including various electronics and jewelry.

According to the report, one of Taylor’s friends told authorities Taylor had been to his home with

some of the stolen property and was looking for help selling it.

Taylor admitted to the crime, the report says, and returned some of the stolen items to the owner.

In the summer time, when the sand was hot, it felt like it would blister your feet. Being young and with lots of energy, I would run from one shade spot to another. The trees along the road side and river helped a lot.

We used to think the marks in the sand that snakes left when crossing the road were made when they were going to and from the river to get water. I don’t know if this was true or not.

I remember my Dad killing at least two rattlesnakes swimming the river. People believed you could tell the difference in the markings in the sand between

a poisonous snake and a nonpoisonous one. The black snake leaves a straight line, while the rattler would wobble and leave a wide mark.

You guess sometime we would catch him in the road.

Many times these snakes would be in pairs and it was said that three days after killing one, his mate would be there hunting for him.

from China who will stay in Polk County for three weeks.

An audience member asked Miller at the presentation last week how we could send a teacher to China when our teachers do not speak Chinese. Miller responded that it wouldn’t be a problem, because students in China speak English very well.

Fang Lei is currently staying with Dave and Carlann Scherping and will later stay in an apartment.

Fang Lei said she took tests and interviews in order to be accepted into the program, then spent a month in Beijing for orientation before coming to Los Angeles, Calif. There she participated in another orientation and then came to North Carolina.

"It has been an amazing trip and I’m so happy to be here,” she says.

Exchange programs Polk County Schools is involved with two programs through the state where the China exchange has been made available. Miller says the Chinese government is working hard to expand understanding of Chinese culture and language across the world.

This year, North Carolina is the first state in the nation to bring 12 Chinese teachers at a time to schools. Five of those teachers were placed in West- China trip highlights During their trip to China ern North Carolina. Fang Lei last December, Scherping and and other teachers from China arrived a couple of weeks ago Miller visited schools. They spent much of their time in in Raleigh.

that illustrate ways in which China is similar to America.

The group visited a smaller city with a lake and saw pearl fishing and also visited the Great Wall of China.

Miller and Scherping both discussed the incredible academic achievements of Chinese students, saying that one school they visited had an average SAT score of 2224. Chinese students take the same SAT as American students do to enter American colleges, with the test in China also being in English.

Schools in China are different in that students take a test in the eighth grade and the top 10 percent of the class go to high school together. The system is tiered in that the best students go to the best schools together and so on.

Another interesting aspect about Chinese schools is there is no heating or air conditioning. Scherping pointed out to the audience last week that the students in a photo of a Chinese class were all wearing glasses and all wearing coats. Scherping (Continued on page 9)

said Chinese schools are funded solely based on academics. Miller added he doesn’t know how parents in Polk County would react if the air conditioning in Polk County Schools was not working.

An audience member asked Fang Lei how teachers discipline in China. Fang Lei answered that discipline problems don’t really exist in China. The population is so large and the competition so great, students would not misbehave there, she said. Miller said that will be another point of adjustment for Fang Lei as she begins teaching in an American school.

Students in China also attend school for longer days and more days in a year. Miller said he thinks Chinese students attend school 220 days of the year compared to U.S. schools

at 180 days. Most Chinese schools also go from around 8 a.m. until 5 or 5:30 p.m. Fang Lei said they do take a two-hour break during the day, with most breaks including a nap.

Miller said the Chinese government and all the principals they met said they were very interested in America’s way of teaching creativity.

“They feel like we create inventors and they create producers,” Miller said. “They want to tap into that just like we want to tap into their math scores and language skills.”

Sheriff’s office gives 65 citations at DWI checkpoint

by Leah Justice

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office recently issued 65 citations at a driving while impaired (DWI) checkpoint.

The checkpoint was held on Aug. 6 on Hwy. 74 at the Pea Ridge Road bridge. The sheriff’s office, along with assistance from area agencies, stopped all vehicles traveling on both lanes of Hwy. 74, Abrams & Moore, John Shehan and Pea Ridge roads. The checkpoint was conducted between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m.

The checkpoint resulted in five DWI charges, five seatbelt violations, 50 traffic charges, including open container, inspection and registration violations, two misdemeanor drug violations and one felony drug violation.

The BATmobile, a bus that enables officers to do onsite breathalizers was on scene during the checkpoint.

The sheriff ’s office was assisted by the N.C. Highway Patrol, the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, the N.C. State Bureau of Investi-

gation, the N.C. Department of Transportation, the police departments of Columbus, Tryon, Saluda, Lake Lure, Forest City and Rutherfordton and the fire departments of Columbus, Green Creek, Mill Spring and Tryon.

Smith responds to questions on St. Luke's Hospital funds however, about the funds that were allocated to be used initially for the Incentive Policy for Economic Development and whether or not they were distributed appropriately when they were transferred to St. Luke’s Hospital.

A blend of community resources should work together so that matters such as this are handled appropriately in the future and that we are closely investigating each need and opportunity. It is crucial that a variety of boards, committees and teams collaborate to ensure needs are being met and that we are being good stewards of monies for community goals, efforts and projects. By working together, the county commissioners and the St. Luke’s Hospital Board of Trustees can ensure that quality health care is being provided to the citizens of Polk County while not jeopardizing nor compromising the efforts of other projects and plans that are in-motion and will also benefit our county.

Editor’s note: Following is the full response from Benny Smith, candidate for the Polk County Board of Commissioners, to questions sent by the Bulletin regarding the county’s $285,000 gift to St. Luke’s Hospital last year. An article summarizing the responses from commissioners, candidates and St. Luke’s Hospital ran in the Friday, July 23 Bulletin. Look for full responses from other commissioners and candidates in upcoming editions.

Quality health care is an integral part of any community. The citizens of Polk County deserve and are entitled to receive the best care, from the most highly-trained professionals. As a citizen of this county and former member of the St. Luke’s Hospital Board of Trustees, I recognize the importance of having a stellar health care system and I completely support the entity we have here. It is, after all, one of the largest employers in our county, providing jobs for numerous citizens. Our hospital has excellent staff and employees and we must recognize and show our appreciation to them for their service to our community. Joining forces with Carolinas Healthcare System has strengthened our entity and had helped our health care leaders move in the strategic direction we need. This positive movement will not only maintain our stellar services and financial stability, but will also assist when improvement initiatives need to be implemented to make what is good even better.

Having stated my support for our health care system, I do question the timing of the transferring of funds from the sale of the James Tool Building in the sum of $285,000.00. There is no doubt that supporting our hospital system is of utmost importance to ensure quality health care for our community. Also, no one can dispute that employees feel valued and appreciated when appropriately compensated. I am concerned,

• Womack (continued from page 18)

Greene said after they became friends, he would drive Womack home when they both had weekend passes. Womack always wanted to be let out at a big tree by a bridge over the Green River, and would walk home from there.

Greene recalled one night when the two soldiers were at the bus station in Tryon. The men issued a challenge to see who could do the most push-ups.

“All the others quit at 25,” Greene recalled. “Bryant did 48 and then did the last two with just his right hand.”

Sometime later, Womack finished his basic training and shipped out. He was killed near Sokso-ri, Korea on March 12, 1952. He was 20 years old.

Due to his bravery, a hospital at Fort Bragg was renamed the Womack Army Medical Center and a bridge and a building in

Korea bear his name, in addition to the county administration building in his home town.

Ambrose Mills was asked to read for the county board the actual Medal of Honor citation issued Jan. 12, 1953 to Private First Class Bryant H. Womack, U.S. Army, Medical Company, 14th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division.

The text of that citation follows:

Citation:

Pfc. Womack distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy. Pfc. Womack was the only medical aid man attached to a night combat patrol when sudden contact with a numerically superior enemy produced numerous casualties. Pfc. Womack went immediately to their aid, although this necessitated exposing himself to a devastating hail of enemy fire, during which he was seriously

wounded.

Refusing medical aid for himself, he continued moving among his comrades to administer aid.

While he was aiding 1 man, he was again struck by enemy mortar fire, this time suffering the loss of his right arm. Although he knew the consequences should immediate aid not be administered, he still refused aid and insisted that all efforts be made for the benefit of others that were wounded.

Although unable to perform the task himself, he remained on the scene and directed others in first aid techniques. The last man to withdraw, he walked until he collapsed from loss of blood, and died a few minutes later while being carried by his comrades.

The extraordinary heroism, outstanding courage, and unswerving devotion to his duties displayed by Pfc. Womack reflect the utmost distinction upon himself and uphold the esteemed traditions of the U.S. Army.

“Tryon Horse and Toy House” by Betty Burdue

Holy Cross Gallery features Burdue The Gallery at Holy Cross Episcopal Church announces that it will be displaying the works of local oil and watercolor artist Betty Burdue.

Burdue has studied under various well known artists in Florida and Michigan, and has received many ribbons and honors at shows throughout the years for her oils and watercolor paintings.

Landscapes, florals and historical architecture have been her specialty. These days painting local scenes and architecture take up her time. She is the official “Morris the Horse” artist here in Tryon, with prints available at The Tryon House and The Book Shelf.

Her notecards of local archi-

tecture, churches and “Morris the Horse” may be seen at The Book Shelf and Vines and Stuff.

Betty and husband, Jay, have lived in Tryon for the past five summers, returning to Florida during the winter season.

Prior to discovering Tryon, she was a Michigander, active in summer outdoor fine art fairs for the past 20 years, with nautical scenes her specialty.

The Holy Cross Gallery is open during church business hours and Sundays. Hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

is fiber. Fiber is a great addition to your diet, because high fiber foods are nutrient-rich, filling, and low in calories. According to a University of Minnesota study, individuals who stuck to high fiber diets lost two to three pounds more per month than those who ate lower-fiber diets.

Fiber also triggers hormones that control appetite.

Good fiber sources include whole grain breads, brown rice, oatmeal, oat bran, apples, carrots, pears, beans, and artichokes. Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that also helps fight fat by helping to speed up your metabolism. In addition, B12 increases hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin helps red blood cells transport oxygen to all parts of the body. This helps produce energy to help you exercise.

Good sources of B12 include nutritional yeast, B12 fortified

dairy, and eggs.

Be careful though, if you choose to take a B12 supplement. Taking too much of one B vitamin will rob you of the other B vitamins. For this reason, I recommend you take your B vitamins in the form of a B “complex” supplement.

To the Editor: In May, my 8-year old German Shepherd was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer.

I would like to recognize everyone at Bonnie Brae Veterinary Clinic for the wonderful care we received during Ramey’s brief fight with this illness. Dr. Angel Mitchell spent hours of her own time on line and in telephone consultation with other veterinarians trying to find an alternative treat-

providing eLearning classes and programs,” Dalton commented.

“Today, more than ever, those with the best education get the best jobs. Whether you live in Murphy or Manteo, whether you want to finish your GED or you want to get that advanced degree, whether you live in the suburbs or in a rural county, I invite you to visit www.eLearningNC.gov.

I’m proud to say that in North Carolina getting the best education is more convenient and more accessible than ever before.”

The North Carolina e-Learning Commission is dedicated to creating and promoting a collaborative online learning environment that promotes student achievement, business success, economic stability and lifelong learning for every citizen of the state. Its mission is to offer anytime, anyplace learning opportunities to North Carolinians with the goal of equalizing education for citizens throughout the state.

– article submitted ment that might extend Ramey’s life in a quality way.

Sadly, Ramey went into crisis last week. Dr. Mitchell was on vacation but spoke with me twice on the phone trying to think our way through what was happening.

I would especially like to express my appreciation to Dr. Ian Fitch, who came to my house at 11 o’clock at night to keep Ramey from suffering through the night as his organs shut down.

His kindness and compassion to Ramey and me helped us immeasurably through this very difficult time.

Is Hip Pain Or A Bum Knee Keeping You From Enjoying The Important Things In Life?

The stiffness...the soreness...restricted motion...the pain. It can stop you from doing those things you love. Board-certified orthopaedic surgeon Brian Rosenberg, MD, and St. Luke’s Hospital have the reputation for getting people back on their feet in record time. With advanced procedures like direct anterior hip replacement and custom-fit knee replacements, you’ll experience less pain, a shorter (but impressive) hospital stay and a quicker recovery.

If your goal is to kick around with the grandkids, we’ll get you back in the game.

Obituaries

James (Jim) LaZear Freeman Jim Freeman died Sunday, August 15, at his home in Tryon. He is survived by Nancy Holmes, his wife of 37 years; his children, Owen Crosby Freeman, Gloucester, Mass., and Hugh Guthrie Freeman, Mandal, Norway; his first wife, Anita Freeman, Amesbury, Mass.; his younger brothers, John Crosby Freeman, Norristown, Pa., and Peter Sunderlin Freeman, New York, N.Y.; and three grandchildren, Henry, Emma and Jeremy Freeman.

Jim was born in Evanston, Ill. on June 1, 1934 to Graydon LaVerne (Larry) Freeman, a Northwestern University professor of physiological psychology, and Ruth Sunderlin Freeman, a child educator.

At the outbreak of WWII his father became a naval officer, and the family moved to New York City. This was followed by full-time residence at their summer home outside of Watkins Glen, N.Y., where Jim’s parents started Century House, a small Americana publishing company.

These moves established a life pattern of change as Jim transitioned often, and enthusiastically, between the big cities of Manhattan, Chicago and Boston; the towns of Evanston, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., and Simsbury, Conn.; and a vacation cottage in tiny Seaside, Fla. A move to Tryon in 1991 circled him back to the pleasant “village” environment of his youth. Wherever Jim lived, friends remembered him for a dry and quirky wit, fresh perspective, adventurous spirit and his kindness.

Jim received a B.A. degree in economics from Cornell University, where he was a member (and president) of Acacia fraternity, and an M.B.A. from Columbia University. He was also a graduate of Harvard University’s Program for Management Development (PMD).

His parents’ business exposed Jim to the addictive sights, sounds and smells of printing and publishing and set the course for his first career working for R. R. Donnelley & Sons, Chicago, Houghton-Mifflin, Boston, W. A. Krueger, Milwaukee and New York.

In 1972 Jim became president of Connecticut Printers in

Bloomfield, Conn., the oldest printer in the country and the largest in New England at the time. When he turned 50, he established himself in a second career in finance as a Certified Financial Planner with Prudential Bache Securities, Hartford, and Raymond James & Associates, Tryon. He retired in 2004.

Jim’s many interests included travel, art collecting, architecture, duplicate bridge, movies, books, astronomy, and above all, music – especially modern jazz. He was an accomplished trombone player who played in official community, high school and college bands.

Also at Cornell, Jim helped form a 21-piece dance band, the Cayugans, and even sat in with the famous Woody Herman and Stan Kenton bands.

“With my trusty trombone, I paid all my college expenses, and graduated with money saved,” he said.

Years later he discovered his strong tenor voice and became a long-standing member of the Simsbury Light Opera Company in Connecticut as well as the Foothills Savoyards in Tryon.

A strong believer in commu-

nity service, Jim was president of the Polk County Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. He was a member of the boards of the Tryon Downtown Development Association, the Upstairs Artspace, and the Foothills Savoyards.

His knowledge of urban planning led him to get Tryon involved in the 1990s with the North Carolina Downtown Development Association, which eventually helped facilitate a streetscape design plan for the town.

Jim always enjoyed life’s party. Thus, there will be an informal gathering of Jim’s friends and family at the Upstairs Artspace in Tryon (49 Trade Street, 828.859.2828) on Friday, September 10, 5 to 7 p.m. Memorials may be made to Harmon Field, Tryon Downtown Development Association, and Upstairs Artspace.

Three years ago Jim wrote his memoirs, which he ended with six verbs: “Smile. Ponder.

Learn. Experiment. Adapt.

Discover.” Those who loved Jim and were loved by him will remember his smile and be glad for the times he embraced them with it.

Mill Spring flea market goes ‘back to school’ August 28 The theme for the Saturday, August 28, flea market at the Mill Spring Ag Center is “Back to School.” The ag center is partnering with Thermal Belt Outreach as the featured non-profit this month seeking ‘back to school” donations for distribution to low income students and their families.

The Feed A Kid program will also be featured at TBO’s booth at the flea market. Other flea market vendors will offer specific back to school items in their booths like clothing, backpacks, shoes, sports equipment, books, supplies, computer furniture and electronic equipment.

When shopping for “back to school” this weekend, consider duplicating a few items that your family is able to afford for your student and donating them to TBO. A drop-off/distribution booth will be available at the flea market for TBO donations. TBO is collecting and distributing school supplies for the less fortunate in the county. Items needed include: backpacks, wide-ruled and college-ruled paper, spiral notebooks, composition notebooks, #2 pencils, mechanical pen-

cils, blue and black pens, large and small erasers, pencil boxes, pouches, colored pencils, markers, crayons, highlighters, rulers, pencil sharpeners, index cards, glue sticks, safety scissors, 1”, 2” and 3” binders, and tab dividers.

The Feed-A-Kid Backpack program at TBO is distributed through schools at weeks’ end to food-insecure households, delivering enough non-perishable food to last for the weekend. Items needed for the Feed-A-Kid Program include: single-serving boxes of cereal, oatmeal, milk, fruit juice, fruits, and applesauce, canned vegetables, dinners and meats, bags of beans and rice, muffin mixes, etc., a variety of snacks including: granola bars, Slim Jims, dried fruits, pudding cups, crackers, pretzels, etc. All items should be shelf-stable. No peanuts, no glass containers, and no candy.

Foothills Humane Society’s “On the Road Show” will be at the flea market again this month with well-educated pets for adoption. FHS has “obedience training” volunteers who have sent your new best friend back to school. The animals will also have been spayed or

Ted first came upon munity that was ruled by serpents. Queenie about a year ago and was These serpents were aptly named very excited and pleased she was King Snake and his wife Queenie, in the area. On his first encounter who of course was also a King she was nesting with a bunch of Snake.

“What happened Ted?” I asked.

“Well she got into the hen’s nest and ate the wooden egg and now she hasn’t eaten for a few weeks, I’m afraid she’ll starve.” “Well she certainly can’t digest it Ted, and she certainly isn’t going to pass it, take her down to Landrum vet and tell them you’re my cousin. They’ll help.” “Would they do that Len?” “Oh yes Ted, I’m fairly certain they’ll be glad to help.”

Ted rusher her to Landrum where they removed the egg, stitched her up and gave her some antibiotics, they too recognize royalty when they see it. Ted was ready to pay whatever it costs for her procedure for he had become quite attached to her highness, but they would have none of it.

PCHS goalkeeper Mike Bell makes a save Wednesday during the Wolverines’ 1-1 season-opening tie with visiting Brevard. (staff photo by John Clayton)

PCHS forced to settle for 1-1 tie

by John Clayton

a late panic attack and penalty by the polk County High boys varsity soccer team allowed Brevard to tie the season-opening contest at 1-1 with five seconds to play Wednesday night.

With no overtime, the game ended after thomas richmond’s goal sneaked inside the right

goalpost to tie the game.

“We have to be able to handle pressure,” said pCHs head coach rock Charles. “Now that we’ve been in this situation, we have to learn from it.” a pushing foul was called on pCHs just outside the box as Brevard pushed for a late goal. richmond quickly placed the ball

and kicked on the referee’s signal as pCHs struggled to set its defense. the Wolverines (0-0-1) had held onto its slim lead since evan Morrow’s goal in the 21st minute of the first half.

In the JV game, Jordan Brown and Daniel page scored a goal apiece in the 2-1 win for the Wolverines (1-0).

Mobile service provides health tips to pregnant women, new moms North Carolina partners with text4baby Text4baby is a new free mobile service providing timely health information to pregnant women and new mothers from pregnancy through a baby’s first year. The North Carolina Healthy Start Foundation is one of the first organizations in the state to have signed on as a national partner to promote the service in North Carolina.

Text4baby is an educational program provided by the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition. Women who sign up for the service by texting BABY to 511411 (or BEBE for Spanish) receive three free text messages

each week timed to their due date or baby’s date of birth.

These messages focus on a variety of topics critical to maternal and child health, including birth defects prevention, immunization, nutrition, seasonal flu, mental health, oral health and safe sleep. Text4baby messages also connect women to prenatal and infant care services and other resources.

This initiative is important because North Carolina’s infant death rate continues to exceed the national average. The most recent data from the N.C. State Center for Health Statistics (2008) indicate that there were 11,466 preterm births in North Carolina, representing 8.8 percent of live births. Babies born prematurely are more likely to die or have

conditions that may need longterm treatment or therapy. In the same year, 1,066 babies died before their first birthday. While current initiatives and programs are making an impact to reduce the effects of this public health crisis, there is still much that can be done. This call to action demands new and innovative approaches to decrease the infant mortality rate and improve the health of women in North Carolina.

“National Infant Mortality Awareness Month is coming up in September,” said Janice A. Freedman, MPH, executive director for the North Carolina Healthy Start Foundation. “This is a perfect time to promote text4baby. We hope people will help spread the word about this new

service and make a difference in the lives of mothers and babies across our state.”

The North Carolina Healthy Start Foundation has created point of purchase stands, promotional cards and posters to promote the new service. The foundation is collaborating on this project with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health and the North Carolina March of Dimes chapter.

For additional information about the North Carolina Healthy Start Foundation, visit www.NCHealthyStart.org or visit www.facebook.com/pages/NC-Healthy-Start-Foundation/10150121760375232.

payments will be frozen at the current levels. And starting in 2012, Uncle Sam will begin reducing payments over the next two to six years to the insurers that administer these plans until they’re getting the same amount of money, on average, that Original Medicare spends.

What all this means is that many of the 11 million seniors that have a Medicare Advantage plan can expect their premiums to gradually increase or the extra benefits to be reduced, or both, over the next few years. And some insurance companies may stop offering Medicare Advantage altogether.

But, not all Medicare Advantage plans will be affected.

Payment cuts will depend on whether Medicare costs in your county are high or low.

And starting in 2012, highquality plans that have been around for a while and receive a 3.5 to 5 star government rating will be rewarded with bonus payments from the government that will offset some of the fee cuts. These plans will most likely continue operating with few changes. Newer and low-quality plans are the ones that will change. To check how your plan rates visit www. medicare.gov.

What To Do Your best course of action is to review your Medicare Advantage plan this fall – you can expect to receive a mailing from your insurer sometime in October explaining any cost and/or coverage changes.

If you find that your insurer

$

is dropping your plan, or if you don’t like how your plan changes in the upcoming year, you can always switch to a different Advantage plan or move to Original Medicare during the annual open enrollment period, which is between November 15 and December 31.

You can also make the switch during the Medicare Advantage open enrollment which is the first 45 days of 2011, between January 1 and February. If you do decide to go back to Original Medicare, you’ll probably want to purchase a Part D prescription drug plan and a Medigap supplemental policy to help cover deductibles and co-pays.

Dear Savvy Senior How much will the new health care reform law affect Medicare Advantage? My wife and I have used an Advantage plan for the past three years and would like to find out if we should stay with what we have, or go back to Original Medicare. What can you tell us?

Concerned Retirees Dear Retirees, It is true that the new health care reform law will affect many seniors who have a Medicare Advantage plan, but how much change you can expect will depend on where you live and the plan you have. Here’s what you should know.

Less Advantaged Right now, around 24 percent of Medicare beneficiaries receive coverage through one of thousands of Medicare Advantage plans rather than Original Medicare. Advantage plans – private Medicare plans sold by insurance companies that are typically available through HMOs and PPOs – have become enormously popular over the past few years because they offer a host of extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t provide like free eyeglasses, dental care, hearing aids and even gym memberships.

These extra benefits, however, have come at an extra cost. Since 2006, Medicare Advantage plans have received government subsidies that have been costing around 13 percent more than traditional Medicare.

But that’s about to change.

Starting next year, as a result of changes under health care reform, Medicare Advantage
