When Grandma showed some signs of dementia, we didn’t know where to turn. We were trying to arrange care for her, losing time at work and wondering what to do. A nursing home seemed like our only choice. Then we found Summit ElderCareSM , a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the elderly that has been providing compassionate and cost-effective care to older adults for over a decade.

Summit ElderCare is an insurance, medical care and social services program all in one convenient package that includes home care, personal care even prescription drugs, when approved. And all approved services are fully covered with no co-payments or deductibles.* To learn more, talk to one of our enrollment specialists or visit us on the Web.

1-800-698-7566 (TDD/TTY: 1-800-889-4106) www.summiteldercare.org A Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) sponsored by Fallon Community Health Plan

*In some cases, there may be a monthly premium required based on your income or assets. All services must be provided by or authorized by the PACE Interdisciplinary Team (except emergency services). PACE participants may be held liable for costs for unauthorized or out of PACE program agreement services.

BY RYAN PELLETIER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT DUDLEY — As the fog rolled in early Thanksgiving morning, the student athletes of both the Tantasqua Warriors and the Shepherd Hill Rams were lacing up their cleats, getting ready for the annual rivalry game, this year being held at Shepherd Hill. Here the Rams executed a 21-7 win over Tantasqua to complete the season for both teams. As the fog began to clear the field, the ten- sion between the two teams remained, for the Rams were able to get on the board early in the game. After a three first-down drive Brett Anctil, senior running back for Shepherd Hill, received the hand off and ran the ball to the outside and into the end zone for a 36-yard touchdown and a Rams lead with 6:20 on the clock in the first quarter. The Warriors started out the game looking somewhat promising as well, as they ensued a drive that continued for the majority of what remained in the first quarter. On a second and 10 attempt, David Dumas, new to the starting quarterback position for Tantasqua, made the decision to take the run into his own hands. Dumas proceeded to make a 15-yard gain for Shawn Kelley photos the Warriors, and gain them a first down at the Shepherd Hill 24-yard line.

For next year’s gift- giving season, you may want to open a special “gift fund.” Of course, it’s not easy for any of us to find “extra” money after we’re done pay- ing our bills, so the best way to set up your gift fund may be to have the money moved auto- matically each month from your checking or savings account to another liquid account — one that you wouldn’t normally touch for your ANYONE INTERESTED IN HAVING A HOUSE BUILT, day-to-day expenses.

Apart from setting up a gift fund, you’ll also want to make sure you have a reasonable amount of “cash” and cash equivalents in your investment portfolio. • Protect yourself from identity theft. Victims of identity theft can testify that it’s an enormous — and possibly expensive — hassle. Unfortunately, identity theft seems to go up during the holiday season, so take steps to pro- tect yourself. When you go out shopping, just take one debit or credit card with you — and look around whenever you use it. Identity thieves have been known to copy down credit card numbers and even photograph credit cards with cell phones. Also, if you’re shop- ping online, make sure you’re on a secure web site. One way to check for a secure site is to look for “https” in the Web address, along with the icon of the locked padlock on your brows- er’s status bar. • Shop early for bargains. As you probably know, some of the best bargains come during stores’ “after-holiday” sales. By taking advan- tage of these sales, you can stock up on gifts for the next holiday season. • By following these suggestions, you may be able to remove a lot of the financial stress that often accompanies the holidays — and that, by itself, can help you enjoy the season even more.
