Occasionally the center provides speakers to help inform seniors regarding current senior issues. This type of forum is

educational and allows seniors to ask questions for themselves. At no time is this to be construed as an endorsement from the

Center.

July 2018 REP. KATE HOGAN’S SENIOR NEWS Rep. Hogan’s 2018 Memorial Day Remarks

To all the Veterans here today, our grateful nation and our proud Commonwealth thank you for your service and your sacrifice.

Memorial Day is a sacred moment of remembrance in our Country. From our earliest days of the republic - The United States of America has always been willing to fight for our freedoms and the freedoms of people around the world. And when we speak of our American History and our protections of freedom and liberty it is Memorial Day that forever tells us the cost of these freedoms and liberties: that cost being the best and the brightest among us - those special souls that the bible says are possessed of such great love that they would lay down their life for their friends.

And in fighting for our freedoms and liberties, in laying down their life for a friend - these are the American heroes who never come home.

Lexington and Concord; Gettysburg; Flanders Field; The Beaches of Normandy; The 38th Parrallel Offensives; The Battle of Khe Sanh; The Battles of Kabul, Kandahar, Tora Bora, Baghdad, Fallujah

President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address described battle sites such as these as Hallowed Ground: holy and sacred. Lincoln also said that those left behind – we, the living - are responsible to these heroes so that the “dead shall not have died in vain.”

For these battles are always met by young Americans who give their last measure of devotion. Who offer up their future to our sacred trust to create a more perfect union.

And these loved ones (and their families) are ever our responsibility as an American Family. If we love our country we must love and honor our heroes and care for their families.

Let our battle grounds (our hallowed grounds) help guide us on a path to greater understanding as a nation in an ever changing world, as countrymen who can respect each other and work across differences and across aisles, and as Americans who believe we can meet 21st century challenges and lead by example as well as strength.

Lincoln dedicated the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863 – four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. At the dedication, he pledged that our nation would have a new birth of freedom and that a government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.

God Bless and protect those in harm’s way; God Bless all our Veterans; God Bless the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts & God Bless America.

Hudson Senior Center News…..from Janice Long

Hello to everyone,

Hope you are enjoying your summer! During those hot and humid days, please come to

the senior center and cool off. We are happy to have you and there is always something

to do! If you need a ride, just call the center.

Please do not forget to sign up for our annual summer cookout. This year it is at the

Marlborough Fish and Game on July 20th. We will still have our friends from Intel help with

the grilling! It will be fun as usual.

In June, Jackie Kapopoulos, our Friends President, and I attended the Cummings

Foundation award ceremonies for the $100K for 100 winners, held at the Woburn

Trade Center. Jackie and I had a great time. As mentioned before, we were one of

the 100 (out of 597) to receive the $100,000.00. The awards ceremony was inspiring.

It was an honor to be with so many non-profit organizations that contribute so much to their

communities. For more information about the other non-profits who were selected for the award,

visit the Cummings Foundation website at www.cummingsfoundation.org/oneworldboston/

The $100,000.00 will be used to purchase 2 new buses, one this year and one next year. We will

keep you informed.

What to Know About Traveling With Medicare

Are you planning to travel abroad? Here is some important information from Medicare:

Before you go, remember to look into your Medicare coverage outside the United States.

If you have Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance), your health care

services and supplies are covered when you’re in the U.S. However, in general, Medicare won’t pay

for health care services or supplies if you travel outside the U.S. (except in rare cases).

Here are 3 ways you can get health coverage outside the U.S.:

1. If you have a Medigap policy, check your policy to see if it includes coverage when traveling

outside the U.S.

2. If you have another Medicare health plan (like an HMO, PPO, or retiree plan), check with

your plan to see if it offers coverage outside the U.S. (call the customer service phone

number on the back of your health insurance card)

3. You can purchase a travel insurance policy that includes health coverage.

If you do have coverage, make sure you know how it works. You may need to pay first, and get the

bill translated, before submitting a claim for reimbursement.

RMV Near Me:

Please be reminded that we offer limited RMV Services online here at the Senior Center. Such

services include: renewing car registration, changing your address with the RMV, and obtaining

new disability placard. With the new changes and requirements with the new Real ID, we may be

able to assist you with starting your application online, but ultimately, you will most likely need to

go to an RMV or AAA office (if you are a member) with your proof of documentation now required.

Call with questions about the difference in the Real ID vs the standard MA ID and what

documentation is required for each and what can be used as acceptable documentation. Please call

the Senior Center to see if you qualify to conduct these services online, as there are certain

qualifications in order to do so.

For those recipients of fuel assistance last heating season, please be on the lookout for your

Recertification. This Recertification will be mailed out to you this summer and will need to be filled

Coffee with our own Police Chief Burks

Tuesday, July 17, 2018 at 10am at the Hudson Senior Center

Please join us for our second Coffee with Chief Burks on Tuesday, July

17th at 10am at the Hudson Senior Center. Please call the center to sign up for this. We would

like to thank Chief Burks for coming to our center in May and informing us of a new innovative

program called Restorative Justice. Restorative Justice offers a personal, community-based

alternative to the often impersonal effects of crime and its punishment. According to an article in

PeaceBuilder Magazine of the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, “Restorative Justice is

recognized as a model in the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Model

Programs Guide. A 2007 University of Wisconsin study found that Barron County’s restorative

justice program [in northwestern Wisconsin] led to significant declines in youth violence, arrests,

crime, and recidivism. Five years after the program began, violent juvenile offenses decreased

almost 49 percent. Overall juvenile arrest rates decreased almost 45 percent. Significantly, the

study further found that collaboration of law enforcement officials with the community and schools

was a decisive factor in reducing youth violence”. Chief Burks and his department is now offering

this innovative program in Hudson on a case by case basis that meets certain criteria. Additionally

Chief Burks shared a short video called “Finding Courage” which depicted Restorative Justice in a

possible real life scenario.

Life’s Transitions…July 5th

and July 19th

at 10AM Balance seemed to be the key word of the month. Discussions arose about knowing your value,

feeling good about yourself and never letting others tamper with your beliefs. In those moments

when life seems like a seesaw ride find balance by stopping to smell all the roses, especially those in

the supermarket. As a group, we continue to problem-solve down-sizing, which can definitely be somewhat

overwhelming. We invite you to drop in, socialize and share your wisdom or pick up some ideas among friends.

The group meets on the first and third Thursday of each month at 10:00AM in the library. Everyone is welcome!

Transitions Team Tips: The recommended transitional moments on film this month is…

Award for Best Actor. The movie and Mr. Oldman leave you with a clear and compassionate understanding of the

decisions and turmoil faced by Winston Churchill.

Elder Law with Frank and Mary

by Arthur P. Bergeron Arthur P. Bergeron is an elder law attorney in the Trusts and Estates Group at Mirick O’Connell

ASSET PROTECTION FOR SENIORS WHO ARE SINGLE This past Spring I did a set of Council on Aging seminars on the legal issues single seniors face. If you are single, and you want

your children or friends to avoid the time and expense of probate after you die, you need to make sure that no asset of yours is in

your name individually at the moment of your death. There are four basic ways to avoid that, and the strategy may vary depending

on the asset:

Name a joint owner. If you own an asset, stock, a bank account, or even real estate jointly with someone, legally you each

own 100% of it. Upon your death, your interest expires, leaving the surviving joint tenant as the sole owner. Of course, this

strategy can cause some potential problems while you are still alive. The joint owner of your bank account will have access to it

and the ability to withdraw from it. The joint ownership interest can also be attached by his or her creditors. But, as long as you

are not worried about these possibilities, joint ownership may be the least expensive way to avoid the probate of some assets.

Name a death beneficiary. Some assets, like life insurance and your IRA, 401(k) or similar tax deferred accounts, require

you to a name a beneficiary to receive the asset after you die. Also, many investment accounts, while they do not automatically

do so, will give you the option to name one or more death beneficiaries through a “transfer on death (TOD)” or “payable on death

(POD)” designation on the account. Make sure that you keep track of these, though, and modify them if the situation of any of

these beneficiaries changes.

Tell your agent to give things away before you die. Obviously, this takes some planning. You need to make sure the

person you name as your agent in your Power of Attorney understands your intentions for who should be getting what, and you

have to trust that person to get these things done before you die. As long as you trust your agent, though, this may be the easiest

way to avoid probate while keeping control of your assets until you are close to death.

Create a revocable and amendable trust. This will cost you more than any of the above strategies. You can create a trust,

name yourself as the trustee, and transfer your house and other large assets to yourself as trustee. You will retain complete control

of the assets while you are alive but, through the trust provisions, you can name a successor trustee who will be able to distribute

all trust assets after your death, thereby avoiding the delay and cost of the probate process and possible creditor claims.

For more information on this or other legal issues that single seniors often worry about, you can contact me at (508) 860-

1470 or abergeron@mirickoconnell.com. You can also view my 10-minute Q&A Fireside Chats on Frank and Mary’s YouTube
