State offi cials say there’s hope for Abenaki encampment

BY ANDREA OSMUN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Offi cials from the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources say there is hope for saving the Abenaki encampment, a group of historical cabins in the woods off Inter- vale Cross Road that have fallen into disrepair and were recently struck by a fallen tree. Deb Gagne, grant coordinator for the Division of Historical Resources, said of the damaged cabins, “They do need work, but I don’t see that they’re lost.” The Abenaki encampment used to be a summer gathering place for Abenaki Indians who would sell their homemade wares to travelers in the Valley. In 1985, the town of Conway was given the deed to the property and now co-owns it with Dennis Obomsawin, of Quebec, Canada, who is the nephew of the late Stephen Laurent. Laurent’s father, Abenaki Indian chief Joseph Laurent, began camping on the property in the late 1800s. The encampment was inducted into the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Town manager Earl Sires met with Division of Historical Resources offi - cials and Conway Conservation Com- mission chair Paul Pinkham Tuesday To wn manager Earl Sires, left, discusses the possibilities of repairing the damaged cabins with Deb Gagne and Peter Michaud, from the New Hampshire morning to look at the encampment.

In any case, if your parents haven’t already done so, encourage them to work with an estate-planning professional to develop the necessary legal documents, which may include wills, trusts and financial durable powers of attorney. These documents and services can be invaluable in helping individuals find efficient ways to pass assets from one generation to the next. An estate-planning attorney can identify which arrangements I t’s a great are the most appropriate for you and your family. In your discussions on leaving a legacy, you may also want to bring up the topic of the beneficiary time to paint! designations that may appear on your parents’ life insurance contracts and qualified plans, such as 401(k)s and IRAs. If the family picture has changed in recent years, and your parents had intended t o change these designations, they should take action sooner rather than later. Save now through July 31st! While your parents need to deal with the legacy issue, they still may have plenty of years of living ahead of them — and they might need help managing their money during these years. For starters, you may want to have a discussion about their savings, investments, insurance and so on, and where these assets are held. Are they kept in banks or investment companies? Do your parents have safe-deposit boxes? This knowledge could be valuable if you ever become involved in managing or distributing your parents’ resources. Saaveve Also, you might want to talk to your parents about the income sources they may be drawing from durin g their retirement. For example, how much are they taking out each year from their 401(k)s and IRAs? They don’t want to withdraw so much that they deplete their accounts too soon, but at the same time, they would no doubt like to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Yo u may want to suggest to $ your parents that they evaluate their investment portfolio for both growth and income potential — because they will need both elements during a long retirement. If your parents aren’t already working with a financial advisor, you may want to encourage them to d o so.
