NEWS BRIEFS Exchange Club to Host Public Safety Appreciation Night

STURBRIDGE — The Tri-Community Exchange Club of Sturbridge, Southbridge and Charlton will host the annual Public Safety Night on Monday, March 15 at Old Sturbridge Village. Tickets may be purchased for the event at the door for $20, which includes a full meal. Chairman of the Exchange Club’s Public Safety Committee Karl E. Krantz said the event started more than 15 years ago as a way to educate young people about the services provided by police and fire personnel. In the last few years, Krantz said the event has expanded to include recognition of emergency medical workers too. “It’s to honor them for the job that they do on an ongoing basis to provide us all with our safety,” Krantz said of all emergency work- ers. An insurance professional himself, Krantz said the work done by police officers, firefighters and EMTs often goes without thanks. “You really don’t appreciate them until you experience a fire your- self or an emergency with the ambulance,” Krantz said, who has needed the assistance of emergency medical workers in the past. “You really start to appreciate the job that they do and the commit- ment they have.” As part of the event, the Exchange Club is open to suggestions from the public regarding police, fire or medical personnel that someone may want to recognize for their efforts in a given situation. Anyone who would like to nominate or suggest an emergency worker for recognition at the Public Safety Night may contact Krantz at (508) 347-2616. “We’re local business people that are volunteering our time and energies to make our communities a better place to live,” Krantz said of the Exchange Club. “By honoring public safety we do that.” STURBRIDGE VILLAGER Serving The Sturbridge, Brimfield, Holland and Wales

planning process. All too often, though, that’s what hap- pens. “Though most people over 65 will need long-term care at some point in their life, they lack a realistic plan to pay for it,” explains Scott Perry, president of Bankers Life and Casualty Company, a national life and health insurer focused on the needs of the retirement market. The mistaken belief that Medicare will cover all the expenses is among the many reasons why people avoid thinking about long-term care insurance. Research shows that the cost is often misunderstood, too. According to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI), consumers perceive the cost to be more than double what it actually is. Others are unaware that there are options that could allow them to choose a plan with lower premium rates. “Cost can be a major barrier to buying long-term care insurance,” explains Perry. “However, by modifying bene- fit levels and elimination periods, you can find a long-term care policy that works within your budget.”` According to the AALTCI, adding a deductible can Celebrities, like Atlanta Falcons’ Jason Snelling, are spreading the word that reduce the yearly cost by 20 percent.
