Exchanging cultures, teaching methods by Samantha Hurst

Exchange teacher Fang Lei poured steaming cups of traditional Chinese tea for students at Polk County Middle School two weeks ago. She offered them tea to sample, taught them just the right way to hold their chopsticks and watched over them as they filled dumpling wrappers with savory meat and veggies. Fang began teaching Chinese culture when she came to the school early this fall. “I've learned so much about our (Chinese) culture – I had to do a lot of research before I taught them this information because I wanted to be accurate,” Fang said. Fang traveled to the United States as part of a program connecting educators with teaching opportunities all over the world. Polk County Super(Continued on page 6)

Fang made the meat mixture and helped students as they spooned it into wrappers and boiled the hun tun. (photo submitted)

Railroad trail system gains momentum, some resistance by Leah Justice

The idea of turning the unused railroad track running through the area into a trail system has gained much support, but has also seen some resistance from a couple elected officials. The Saluda Grade Trail Committee was recently established with hopes of asking railroad owner Norfolk Southern to allow a trail system to be placed

from Landrum to Saluda. The trail committee has received majority support from the Town of Tryon, City of Saluda, City of Landrum and Polk County commissioners. Tryon Councilman Wim Woody, however, abstained from voting a few weeks ago, and Landrum Councilman Billy Inman voted against the

The Saluda Grade Trail Committee hopes to mirror the Virginia Creeper Trail system, which is a 35-mile trail created on a former rail bed used for hiking, biking and horses from Abingdon, Va. through Damscus, Va. to the North Carolina state line. The Saluda Grade Trail would be approximately 14 miles between Landrum and Saluda. Woody and Inman each said they do not think taking up the tracks is the best idea for the future. Inman said he has always heard the rail is the only track from the coast up North and it wouldn’t be a good idea to take it up in case of a national emergency, where items could be

intendent Bill Miller, Polk County Middle School Principal Hank Utz and Polk Central Principal Dottie Kenlaw all traveled to China last June as part of a similar program connecting American school systems with foreign schools. While there, the group visited Polk's partner school and attended education workshops in Beijing. The last half of the program involved hosting an exchange teacher such as Fang. Utz said the life lessons Fang presents to her students and fellow teachers fall in line well with the school's year-long focus on global awareness. “For me to teach or talk about China, it doesn't really validate what the students learn from their textbooks,” Utz said. “It's a little more credible and it brings it more alive for the students to see lessons presented by Mrs. Fang and actually hear her discuss her own experiences.” When Fang discovered the opportunity earlier this year she quickly jumped at the chance though the interview process was lengthy. Fang first completed a telephone interview, a personal interview in Beijing and a mental examination. Interviewers considered more than 400 teachers, yet selected only 120. North Carolina currently has 13 of

the 120 educators selected teaching in its schools. Fang said she's been intrigued by the differences in schools in her home country and America. “The most tangible difference would be that I have 50 students in one class in China and I have five in one class here,” Fang said. “I wasn't able to know students on a personal level but here I do get to know the students and I like that.” In China Fang Lei worked in a boarding school. This made her responsible for the students many nights. Her Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays would start in the wee hours of the morning so she could arrive at school before 6:30 a.m. when students were required to arrive early in order to study their English. On Tuesdays and Thursdays she stayed late to oversea study hall. Study hall often lasted until 9:30 p.m. She also pointed out that in China the daily process of learning is different. Typically students listen to lengthy lectures from teachers and soon after test on the material. Rarely are book reports, science projects or skits required for grades. “Now, I'm trying to make my lessons not so boring,” Fang said. Fang said students in China also experience pressure to excel in school much earlier than American students. Where American students (Continued on page 7)

Saluda seeks donations for oral history project by Leah Justice

The Historic Saluda Committee is asking for the public’s help to preserve the city’s past. Committee chair Lynn Cass on Monday, Dec. 13 told the Saluda Board of Commissioners the committee is currently selling cards that can be purchased in memory or in honor of someone and given as Christmas gifts to help support the project. A survey the committee recently conducted clearly showed residents want to “collect and

preserve oral histories of Saluda’s senior citizens.” Cass said the committee has identified more than 40 Saluda residents to interview for the histories, and six interviews with Saluda residents have already been conducted. All the interviews will be part of a series of DVDs the committee will make of oral histories. The oral history project has been broken up into phases. In the first phase, the committee plans to make a DVD from the

first eight interviews. Committee members hope money generated from the sale of the first DVD will fund future DVDs. The long-term goal of the committee is to turn the project into a website that provides archives of the taped interviews and information about Saluda’s residents, places, architecture, the railroad, music and other historical features of the area. The committee has also created a city hall restoration subcommittee. City council has

given $2,500 for the city hall committee and just under $1,000 as seed money for the oral history project. Eljapa Media Group out of Asheville is working with the historic committee to produce the DVD. Individuals who donate $100 or more for the project will be recognized in the film credits.

from a different point of view, but to see they experience some of the same challenges,” Utz said. Next semester, a select group of eighth-graders will have the unique opportunity to learn beginning Mandarin under Fang's direction. Utz hopes to see some of these students carry on their study of

Mandarin through virtual classes available at the high school level. Fang learned to relish in American culture in the past four months as well. She's attended the Sunny View Fall Festival – playing Bingo and watching the dunking booth – and she's gone kayaking on Lake Lanier.

Hurst joins Tryon Daily Bulletin staff as editor by Barbara Tilly

The Tryon Daily Bulletin has new leadership in the editorial department. Samantha Hurst has joined the staff as editor. Hurst's responsibilities will include directing the Bulletin's news coverage, writing news and feature stories and handling special publications such as “Appointments," the Bulletin's monthly equestrian publication. “I'm anxiously looking forward to the opportunity of becoming immersed in such a historic area as Polk County,” Hurst said. “It's refreshing to see a community that so wholeheartedly takes ownership of its newspaper.” Hurst, whose hometown is Huntsville, Ala., spent the past four years at the Shelby County Reporter, a large weekly paper serving the largest county in Alabama. She served first as a staff reporter before being promoted to lifestyles editor and then associate editor of special publications. As associate editor of special publications, Hurst coordinated the planning and publishing of three glossy magazines, “Shelby Living,” “Wellness Alabama” and “Bride Guide: Shelby County.” Hurst graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor's degree in journal-

ism and a minor in political science. “We are fortunate to have a journalist of Samantha’s caliber to lead our news team,” said Betty Ramsey, president and publisher of the Bulletin. “She understands community journalism and the close relationship we have with our readers and I’m excited about the development of our news content under Samantha’s leadership.” Hurst joins managing editor Barbara Tilly, reporter Leah Justice and community news editor Malia Ferguson in the Bulletin's editorial department. The Bulletin is owned by Tryon Newsmedia LLC, which purchased the 83-yearold newspaper from former owner and publisher Jeff Byrd at the end of September 2010.

Anonymous donor gives kids movie tickets for ‘Polar Express’ at Chapman

Treasures of Time

TRTI-039854

B12

PCTA-034282

A local businessman has donated $2,000 to purchase 333 tickets so underprivileged children can see the Christmas classic movie “The Polar Express” at the Chapman Cultural Center on Saturday, Dec. 18. “A couple of months ago, I was approached by a noted local person, who said he’d like to help make the things we do here at the Chapman Cultural Center more accessible to local kids,” said marketing director Steve Wong. “He stipulated that he wanted to help kids who do not have the ways and means to attend the shows and programs that require an admission charge. Since then, I kept looking for a way to utilize his generosity and finally zeroed in on ‘The Polar Express.’” The Chapman Center has contacted several established “children’s” organizations throughout the city and county, setting up the logistics to put the tickets in the most deserving hands. Those organizations that will have children at the movie are Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Upstate, Cross Cultural Institute, CC Woodson Community Center, Children’s Advocacy Center, Joy Academy (after school program), Northwest Community Center, Piedmont Community Action, and Spartanburg Regional Pedi-

atric Rehabilitation. “It is very heartwarming to know this person’s giving will make so many kids happy,” Wong said. “It is now my hope that maybe someone else might step forward to fund the kids having a soft drink and popcorn during the movie.” “The Polar Express” is an animated movie about a little boy who travels to the North Pole on a magical train to see Santa Claus. It was released in 2004 and is considered a modern classic film because of the hi-tech animation and use of Hollywood stars such as Tom Hanks. It is based on the children’s story by the same name.

Deadline for aquaculture grant program extended to Dec. 22 The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is extending the deadline for aquaculture producers to apply for federal grant money to offset losses sustained in 2009. The deadline has been extended one week to Dec. 22. Winter weather in trout-producing areas of western North Carolina has prevented some producers from submitting their applications, said Ron

Fish, assistant director of the NCDA&CS Marketing Division. Under the Aquaculture Grant Program, North Carolina aquaculture producers are eligible to receive grant money to offset losses sustained in 2009 due to high feed costs. The program is funded through a block grant from the U.S. Farm Service (Continued on page 25)

One of the model trains at the Apple Valley Model Railroad Club in Hendersonville. (photo submitted)

Kids run trains this holiday season If your children or grandchildren would like to operate a model train, the Apple Valley Model Railroad Club in Hendersonville is the place to bring them this holiday season. The club is normally open to the public on Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Since Christmas and New Year’s Day fall on Saturday this year, the exhibit will be open on Wednesday, Dec. 22, and Wednesday, Dec. 29 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Admission is free and donations are gladly accepted. The club is located in the historic Hendersonville Depot at the corner of 7th Ave. and Maple Street. One of the highlights at the Depot is a “Thomas the Tank Engine” layout with two trains that can be operated by children

of all ages. The main attraction for “older children” is the large HO model railroad representing railroading in Western North Carolina, including the famous Saluda grade. There are often seven or eight trains operating, replete with prototypical sounding horns and whistles. The original waiting room of the depot has a 1/8-size steam locomotive that was constructed by the Southern Railway shops as well as numerous other railroad artifacts. Adjacent to the depot is a recently restored Southern Railway caboose that is open to the public. Check out the club’s website at www.avmrc.com, or contact John Ryan at 828-859-5488. – article submitted

Polk County Cadets in Washington, DC

Polk County Cadets complete marching band season The Polk County Cadets recently completed a successful marching band competition season. Under the direction of PCHS director Cindy Gilbert and assistant director Jill Bennett, the Cadets attended three weekend competitions. They also took a weekend trip to Washington, DC, where they played on the south lawn of the United States Capitol. With their musical program titled “A Salute to the USO,” the Cadets evoked patriotic pride with songs from World War II era America. Starting their line-up was “Come Rain or Come Shine,” fol-

lowed by “I’ll Be Seeing You.” The band then played a combination of tunes in “Big Band Blowout,” which included the songs “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” and “Sing, Sing, Sing.” Crowds were especially enthusiastic about the Cadets’ final selections of “Thanks for the Memories” and “America.” Drum Major Erica Painter led the 42-member band wearing an authentic World War II uniform and 14 color guard members performed in period costume as the band played to appreciative crowds at Enka’s Land of the Sky Marching Band Festival in North

Henderson High School’s Knights Tournament of Bands, and the Mooresville High School’s Blue Devil Classic. Competing against 1A and 2A schools, the Cadets received accolades in Enka, receiving three first place trophies in class 1AA, drum major, and horn line while second place finishes were attained in percussion and color guard. At North Henderson High the Cadets fared nearly as well, placing first in class 2A, drum major, percussion, and music categories and second place in color guard and marching. In Mooresville, the

Cadets placed first in percussion, drum major, and general effect and second in music, marching and color guard. The Cadets ended the day in Mooresville second in Class 1A. A weekend trip to Washington, DC, at the beginning of November also proved fun and educational for the Cadets. After their Capitol performance, band members enjoyed touring many of DC’s historic sites and landmarks, including several of the memorials and Smithsonian museums, local malls and eateries. – article submitted

Adawehi supports local schools

In November, Saluda Elementary School received a piano keyboard from Adawehi Institute to benefit the elementary school’s music classes. This was one example of the diverse ways that Adawehi Institute and Healing Center’s programs support the healthy development of children and families. Also in November, Adawehi was one of the sponsors of the Tuesday School’s fundraising race event at Red Fox Country Club. This two-race event encouraged exercising outside and healthy eating. At the finish line, Beneficial Foods provided bags of healthy snacks and fruit for the children and adult runners. Events throughout the year included: • Introducing Polk County Early College students to the diversity of

nature with outdoor learning activities on Earth Day; • Music classes, playwriting, and performances, which fostered creative and critical thinking and bolstered self-expression; • Martial arts classes, teaching confidence and techniques to handle bullies without acting “against” others. Ongoing events such as game night and community dance celebrations are designed for families and are attended by children. Other resources, such as CD-based study materials on parenting, are available to help adults put energy into their words and actions for the empowerment of children’s character development. For more information, call 828-894-5260. – article submitted

Saluda School students in grades 3 through 5 receive a keyboard/piano lesson each week with music teacher Sallie Free. Pictured are students from the fifth grade piano keyboarding class: Layla Wooten, Melanie Metcalf, Megan Ward, Roanna Green, Dakota Emory, and Garrett Stanley. (photo submitted)

Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) matches children ages six to 14 from single-parent families with adult mentors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bigsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Littlesâ&#x20AC;? spend time together forming a friendship. They spend time together in order to explore each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests and to have fun together. The impact of a mentor in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life often results in better grades in school, improved relationships with others, increased self-confidence and the ability to withstand peer pressure and make wiser choices. The match support staff provides support, activity ideas and guidance to enhance the relationship. BBBS has two programs for Littles. The first is the community or traditional program, where Bigs and Littles participate together in activities in the community like hiking, playing ball, baking cookies, going to events or just spending time together. The second program is the site or school based program. In this program, Bigs and Littles see each other at the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school or recreation center. They spend time playing games, completing homework and having lunch together. BBBS has been serving young people in Western North Carolina since 1982 and currently covers eight counties. To become a Big Brother or Big Sister, call the Polk County office at 828-859-9230 and request an application. Applicants must provide references, participate in an in-person interview and go through a background check. There are three main pro-

grams for mentors interested in BBBS: traditional, mentors and matches and after-school mentoring. In the traditional program, volunteers age 18 and older are matched with children for activities two times a month. Matches spend time doing simple, fun activities. Volunteers must be willing to make an initial one year commitment. In the mentors and matches program, volunteers age 16 and older are paired with elementary age youth for activities one hour each week at the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school. Mentors commit for at least two semesters. In the after-school mentoring program, volunteers age 16 and older are paired with a young person for activities one hour each week at the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after-school program site. Volunteers commit for at least two semesters. Children who are eligible for a mentor in the community based program must be from a single-parent family or live with relatives or foster parents and be between the ages of six and 14. Both the child and the parent must be interested in participating. BBBS works closely with parents and guardians to match every child with the right Big. The parent or guardianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s input about the type of volunteer that would be right for their child is very important. To enroll in BBBS, call the Polk County office at 828-8599230. The staff will ask for basic information about your child to ensure that they are eligible for the program. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; article submitted

All these changes offer the consumer breaks in terms of convenience, additional exciting capabilities and price. There are serious negative effects also in addition to those discussed above. For example, the downsizing of the newspaper industry and the popularity of e-books will effect the production of particular kinds of paper products, the loss of job opportunities for laborers in plants, as well as the timber industry. There will be fewer jobs for journalists, and the quality of news available to the public will suffer. There can be no doubt technology is altering life in America. The change will have both positive and negative aspects. We should recognize it and prepare for it. I think I see it. DAJU-036356

House of Flags gets boost from Bi-Lo The House of Flags Museum got a recent fundraising boost with its receipt of a check for $1,729 from the Bi-Lo grocery store chain. The check resulted from the museum’s participation in the Bi-Lo Booster Plus Program. The Booster Plus Program allows shoppers to register at the store to support the House of Flags Museum as they purchase groceries. Bi-Lo then donates one percent of all purchases by

that customer to the museum. This process does not add additional costs to the shopper. Robert Williamson, chairman of the museum’s board of directors said, “We are certainly grateful for the support of Bi-Lo- and for the customers who have participated in this program.” Prior donations to the museum from the Bi-Lo Booster Plus Program totaled $643. – article submitted

Foxhunters Cup seeks jockeys for race April 23 The 65th Block House Steeplechase Races on April 23 will feature the amateur flat races. There will be two divisions – thoroughbred and non-thoroughbreds. Started in 2004, this event has remained a crowd favorite. The race is about eight furlongs (one mile) on the flat with a purse of $1,000 (split 60, 30 and 10 percent). Horses four years old and up which have not competed in a sanctioned race since July 1, 2010 will be allowed to race. Horses may be of any breed and will be subject to the same veterinary and drug inspections as those in sanctioned races. Hopeful jockeys who have never ridden in a sanctioned race and who are at least 18 and not over 59 years old may enter. The field will be limited to eight entries. If organizers receive more than eight entries they will be drawn. Additional horses ‘also eligible’

Whether violating their customer’s right it’s the spouse or the adult child to privacy. Even doctors have a involved, attention must be paid difficult time getting in front of if the mate or parent shows any the problem of competence with signs of forgetting how to handle their patients. It’s usually not a money. This can include the good idea to challenge a person’s inability to understand money, competency, particularly if that balance the checkbook, manage person can readily say to you that credit, contracts or agreements, or it’s none of your business or walk simply failing to monitor and pay out of the appointment in anger.

The determination of competence isn’t a quick or easy process, and having someone declared incompetent is a difficult and costly legal procedure. Then there’s the question of what if the assessment made by a banker, lawyer or other nonmedical professional is incorrect? That could lead to some serious liability issues. Remember, their first duty is to their clients. In the situation of mom being a client, she may have been very clear about requiring the physician, attorney or financial advisor not to discuss any personal information with others in the family. Imagine if your aging father’s attorney makes the determination that your dad is not competent, and rather than allowing dad to execute a major change to his will, withdraws from representation. Is that really in your dad’s best interest? But can he or she risk allowing dad to sign a document that may be subject to a future challenge of dad’s competency at the time of signing? What’s the solution? It’s a matter of not just asking

or assuming things are okay with aging parents, but taking the time to verify that credit cards are not being maxed out, and the rent, mortgage, telephone, water and electrical bills are being paid in a timely fashion. This is one of those gray areas of trying to be proactive early, but not seeming to try to take control of the financial life of our loved one. If you sense a problem or start seeing problems, don’t wait. Have your spouse or parent evaluated by a geriatric neurologist – it’s not just an act of personal responsibility, but of caring and love, and something that could mean the difference between maintaining a lifestyle and financial ruin. Ron Kauffman is a geriatric care manager and certified senior advisor.

Wolverines' Swiss Army Knife player by Joey Millwood

Melinda Morgan’s role on the Polk County women’s basketball team this season is simple. The senior is a Swiss Army Knife. She’s the “Jill of all trades.” In one set, Morgan may be lining up as center. In another, she’s playing guard. And all of that comes from experience. “She’s a leader,” Polk head coach Craig Culbreth said. “She’s been there before.” Morgan has a tenacity that Culbreth loves having on the team. Her confidence and presence on the floor is a game changer. She’s a defensive and offensive force and that shows on the hardwood. “If you need to make one free throw to win the game, she wants the ball,” Culbreth said. “She’s a smart player. She uses her body well.” That showed up early in the first game when she scored a

double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds. As for Morgan, she feels that her role on the team is even simpler than being an everywhereplayer. “I feel like as a senior I need to be a leader and be there to lift everyone up,” the two-year starter said. And even more important that her role on the team, Morgan is looking at the bigger picture, ever mindful that this could be a special year with the right work ethic. “If we keep hustling, we’re going to be a pretty good team this year,” she said.

Senior Melidan Morgan is expected to play a combination of key roles for the lady Wolverines this basketball season. (photo by Joey Millwood)

Polk, Landrum split basketball series opener by Joey Millwood

The Landrum boys upended Polk County on Friday night in the first round of the yearly border war. Led by senior Tyler Logan, the Cardinals defended their home court with a 61-45. Logan scored a career high 16 points, Truston Whiteside added 14 points and Austin Brown chipped in 10 points to lead the way for the Cardinals. And while the Cardinals played strong defense, head coach Lyn Smith came up a little shy of giving his offense four stars. “Offensively we were aver-

The real story for the Lady Wolverines, however, came on defense. Polk had 22 steals in the game, led by Phipps who had five steals and six rebounds. “Our press worked really good and we really ran the floor,” first year coach Craig Culbreth said. “I think the girls are starting to learn the new system and me better and are playing better as a team each week.” The Lady Cardinals were led by Ashley Hartsell and Amber Whiteside who had 13 and 11 points respectively.

Safety tips for holiday decorating The holiday season is here and many families are preparing to celebrate their individual traditions with Christmas trees, candles and holiday lights. The following are tips to help ensure that the warm glow of holiday decorations doesn’t erupt into a destructive and potentially deadly holiday fire. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the top five days for residential candle fires are Christmas, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Day, Halloween and Dec. 23. In addition, Christmas tree fires cause $13.8 million in direct property damage each year, and holiday light-related fires are responsible for another $7.9 million annually. “For many of us, the holidays wouldn’t be the same without a Christmas tree or glowing candles,” says Rick Isaacson, executive vice president of Servpro Industries, Inc. “But it’s important to follow some common sense guidelines to help prevent your celebration from turning into a tragedy.” Servpro offers these tips from the United States Fire Administration to help keep the holidays bright and safe: Candle safety tips: 1. Consider using batteryoperated flameless candles instead of wax candles. 2. If you do use traditional candles, place them in sturdy metal, glass or ceramic holders where they cannot be easily knocked down. 3. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.

4. Never allow children to play with matches, lighters or candles. 5. Don’t put candles on your Christmas tree or approach the tree with a burning candle.

Holiday lights safety tips: 1. Inspect holiday lights each year for frayed wires and other problems. Discard and replace damaged strings of lights. 2. Don’t overload electrical sockets. Never link more than three light strands unless the directions indicate it is safe to do so. 3. Check the wires on your lights periodically. If the wire feels warm, remove and discard the string of lights. 4. Turn off your holiday lights when you leave the house or go to bed. Christmas tree safety tips: 1. Cut natural trees at a 45-degree angle to allow for maximum water absorption. 2. Select a natural tree that is fresh. If the tree “rains” needles when you bounce the trunk on the ground, select another tree. 3. Position the tree well away from sources of heat, including heat vents and fireplaces. 4. Keep natural tree stands filled with water at all times. 5. Don’t leave a natural tree up for more than two weeks and discard the tree immediately if it becomes dry. 6. Use only non-flammable decorations on the tree, and select artificial trees that are labeled “fire-retardant.” – article submitted

TubaChristmas XIII (photo by Chris Bartol)

TubaChristmas XIII concert attended by 700 people Seven hundred people attended the TubaChristmas XIII concert recently held in the Polk County High School auditorium in Columbus. Coordinator Stan Howell reports that there were 70 performers, including tubas, euphoniums and baritone horns. Not only did local students

and adults perform, but players came from all over the western Carolinas, including several from Winston-Salem. A special tribute to the recent death of the national TubaChristmas founder, Harvey Phillips, was presented by Howell, director Dr. Bill Bryant and tuba player

Bart Collins. Director Bryant led the ensemble in the playing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Komm, Susser Todâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come, Sweet Deathâ&#x20AC;?) by Bach. Jean Howell of Columbus led the carol singing. Cindy Gilbert, Polk County High School band director, was the host and Manfred Walter of Mill Spring was

assistant coordinator. Samuel Murray of Columbus, age 12, was the youngest player, and Ralph Morris of Hendersonville, age 85, was the oldest player. The 2011 TubaChristmas XIV will be held on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. at PCHS. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; article submitted

Inside Back

Medicare’s preventive services to improve Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that Medicare will soon be offering seniors free health screenings. What can you tell me about this? Searching Senior Dear Searching, It’s true. Beginning Jan. 1, 2011, as part of the new health care reform law, everyone with Original Medicare will have access to many important preventive health services, and most of them they won’t cost you a cent. Here’s what you should know. Savvy Senior

No Cost-Sharing Over the years, Medicare has covered a number of preventive health screenings like mammograms and colonoscopies with varying levels of cost sharing (that includes deductibles, coinsurance or co-payments). Cost-sharing for preventive services typically means you, the beneficiary, pay 20 percent of the cost of the service (Medicare picks up the other 80 percent), after you’ve met your $155 Part B deductible. But starting next month, Medicare beneficiaries will no longer have to pay any out-ofpocket costs for most preventive services, including annual wellness visits, which are being added to the program. Here’s a breakdown of the different preventive services Medicare will soon offer free of charge. Wellness visits In addition to the one-time Welcome to Medicare physical (which new beneficiaries can get but only within their first year of enrollment in Part B), free annual wellness visits with your physician will now be available.

Savvy Senior These visits will give your doctor the opportunity to develop and maintain an ongoing personalized prevention plan for improving your health. Each exam will include body and blood pressure measurements, a review of your medical history including any medications you’re taking and care you may be receiving from other health care providers, an assessment of your cognitive condition and the establishment of an appropriate screening schedule for the next five to 10 years. Health screenings In addition to the wellness visits, here’s a list of the free health screenings and vaccinations Medicare will offer its beneficiaries in 2011, along with the eligibility requirements. · Breast cancer screening: Yearly mammograms will be offered to women age 40 and older with Medicare. · Colorectal cancer screening: This includes the flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy for all beneficiaries age 50 or older. · Cervical cancer screening: Pap smear and pelvic exams are available every two years, or once a year for those at high risk. · Cardiovascular screenings: Free blood test to check cholesterol, lipid and triglyceride levels are offered every five years to all Medicare recipients. · Diabetes: Twice a year screening for those at risk. · Medical nutrition therapy: Available to help people manage diabetes or kidney disease. · Prostate cancer screening: A digital rectal exam and PSA

blood test is available to all male beneficiaries age 50 and older every year. You pay nothing for the PSA test, but you’ll have to pay 20 percent for the doctor’s visit. · Bone mass measurements: This osteoporosis test is available every two years to those at risk, or more often if medically necessary. · Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening: To check for bulging blood vessels, this test is availStrauss & Associates, PA able to men Planning ages 65 toand 75 who Estate have ever smoked.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq. Lifetime QTIP

Q. My husband and I have an estate of $3 million, but his share of our property is only $300,000. Is there any way to ensure my husband’s estate will use the applicable exclusion amount if he dies first and ensure that my property will go to my children after we are both gone? A. Yes As it currently stands if your husband dies before you do, only $300,000 will be in his estate and the benefit of the full exclusion amount ($1million) will be lost. By using a lifetime QTIP trust, you can make a tax-free gift to your husband but control the use of that gift. The value of the QTIP will be included in your husband’s estate and not yours. You can provide that when you are both gone, the property remaining in the QTIP trust is to go to your children. This technique accomplishes both goals of reducing estate taxes and ensuring that your children receive the benefit of your assets.
