ous international spy is deter-
mined to give up his
high stakes life to
finally build a closer
relationship with his
* estranged wife and
daughter, whom he's
" previously kept at
arm's length to keep
out of danger. But first, he must
complete one last mission - even
if it means juggling the two

tablish himself as a true artist by
writing, directing, starring in and
co -producing with his best friend

name and his life
savings on the pro-
ject. Cast: Michael Keaton,

Staying Healthy with Medicare
An important goal for Medicare is to help people stay healthy by encouraging prevention. Medicare provides a number
of preventive services. These services are free whether you have traditional Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan,
like an HMO.
Some of these services include:
Colorectal cancer screening (including colonoscopies)
Mammograms
Pap tests and pelvic exams
Prostate cancer screening
Bone mass measurements
Cardiovascular screening
Flu and pneumonia shots
Alcohol misuse screening and counseling
Depression screening
Obesity screening and counseling
There are very specific rules which state when and how often Medicare will pay for the above services. For a complete
list of free preventive services, go to www.medicare.gov or see a SHINE counselor.
For further assistance with any Medicare issue, contact the SHINE Program. Trained SHINE volunteers offer free, con-
fidential counseling on all aspects of Medicare and related health insurance programs. To schedule a SHINE appoint-
ment, call your local Senior Center. For other SHINE related matters, call 1-800-AGE-INFO (1-800-243-4636), then
press or say 3. Once you get the SHINE answering machine, leave your name and number. A volunteer will call you
back, as soon as possible.
