This is an IRS requirement! Many people take their RMD and pay the taxes on it but don’t really need the money. Well, there is some great news. The U.S. Treasury Department recently approved a measure that allows IRA owners to put a percentage of an IRA (25% up to $125,000) into a product called a Qualified Longevity Annuity Contract or QLAC. The money in the QLAC does NOT count when you figure your RMD for the year. The money is put aside into the QLAC until a future date that you pick! At that time the QLAC is paid out to you over a period of time, guaranteeing you a steady pension-like stream of income in your later years. So if you’d like to save on taxes now and set-up an income stream in the future I would gladly explain the QLAC product in further detail. I am affiliated with all of the companies that sell QLAC’s in Connecticut. Give me a call at 860-974-2014 and see how a QLAC could work for you.

Coderre Commander, Mayotte-Viens American Legion Post #13

Honoring all who serve Veterans Day has always had a very special meaning to me since my childhood days. Veterans Day and every day. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was the day my late mother and father were wed. As a family we remembered the day as a special event and a time to pause and remember those who gave their lives and served in defense of our country. P.O. Box 123 Putnam, CT Although my father never served in the military I’m proud of the fact that I along with my three younger brothers all served our country as members of the United States Air Force. Growing up in Putnam as a youngster I have fond memories of the men I knew who served during World War II and the Korean Conflict. I recall my neighbor, when we lived in the thriving North End of Putnam, as he returned to our community at the end of the war. He looked so put together and proud Supporting our veterans and standing tall in his Army uniform. The day he presented me with a patch from his unit remains etched in my memory. troops this Veteran’s Day I also remember many men who were called to active duty during the Korean Conflict. 24 Stearns St. The memories of those who returned and those who gave the supreme sacrifice for our country are heroes Danielson, CT who are not forgotten on this Veterans Day. In 1959 after graduating from Putnam High School it was the example of these heroes and many others [email protected] like them that encouraged me to enlist in the Air Force. Although I never served in combat, the four years (860) 779-1000 of my enlistment during the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis are the proudest time of my life. Today, 53 years following my discharge from active duty, the memories of the times and friendships developed during those years continue to play an important role in the way I live my life. The men I served with on remote radar sites remain in my thoughts as brothers in arms. The heroes of Veterans Day are the men and women who saw and are seeing combat action while serving in harms ways. But we also shouldn’t forget the thousands of military personnel who gave their lives in defense of our country. We should also say thank you and salute those who served faithfully and were fortunate to return. When you see a veteran, take a moment and thank them for their service, on Veterans Day and every day.

We appreciate our service members whose courage and bravery protect our country and freedom

News Briefs Sidewalk project begins in Putnam PUTNAM — The Town of Putnam Public Works Department has started a project effective Monday, Nov. 2, to repair the sidewalks in the downtown area. A private contractor will make repairs and replacements to the sidewalks along Main Street, Bundy Street, Pomfret Street and Livery Street. The present Handicap Ramps at intersec- tions will be replaced with ADA code ramps. The brick inlay will be removed and replaced with concrete. Portions of the sidewalk that are in disrepair will be replaced. Parking spaces along these streets will be inaccessible during the project. The town regrets that this will create an inconvenience for pedestrians, customers and businesses. The project is the first in the downtown area since the early 1980’s when the City of Putnam had the present street scape constructed. The town budgeted funds over the last two fiscal years for sidewalk replacement and repairs. Repairs have been made to sections of Kennedy Drive, Church, Battey and Smith Streets this fall. The sidewalk replacement program is expected to continue in the spring with work being done according to a Sidewalk Survey completed in early 2015. The survey includ- ed all sidewalks within the Town and prioritized the repairs and replacements. Sidewalk replacement and repair is being coordinated with the water replacement project and the Eversource gas main replacement project over the next two construction seasons. If you have questions, you may contact Public Works Director Jerry Beausoleil by e-mail at jeery.beausoleil@putnamct. us or call the Public Works Office at 860 963-6800. Free mental health first aid training offered by United Services DAYVILLE — United Services will be hosting a free 8-hour Mental Health First Aid training to the community on Dec. 9 and 10 at United Services’ Dayville Clinic at 1007 North Main St., Dayville, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. Participation is required for both sessions to become certified in Mental Health First Aid. The 8-hour training is limited to the first 24 individuals to register. To regis- ter for Mental Health First Aid, contact Emily Morrison of United Services at 860-774-2020 or email at [email protected]. Funding for this community training is made possible thanks to the proceeds of the annual “Particle Accelerator” ben- efit rock concert in memory of Jack Young, Jr. Mental Health First Aid is a ground- breaking public education program that helps the public and other target audi- ences identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and sub- stance use disorders. This award win- ning national training program helps individuals without clinical training to assist someone in immediate need of mental health support or referral. The training, serving as the CPR equivalent for Mental Health, provides those cer- tified with the essential skills to assess and support an individual until appro- priate professional help can be provided. Through MHFA participants learn: • The signs and symptoms of men- tal health disorders such as anxiety, depression, psychosis and addiction; • How to approach someone in a men- tal health crisis; • How to be supportive, diffuse the situation and encourage professional help, and; • What to do if someone is suicidal, harming themselves or refuses help. Participants will engage in activities that build understanding of the impact of the illness and teach how to assess, listen, give reassurance and encour- age self-help strategies. Mental Health First Aid has been widely acclaimed by emergency responders, educators, corporate managers, business owners, human resource professionals, health- care workers and other members of the community.
