Senior Citizen Saves
Home With Reverse
Mortgage Program
There are a record
number of senior citizens applying for,
and taking out reverse
mortgages
today.
While there are many
misconceptions about
how a Reverse Mortgage works, here’s a
letter from a Senior
that understood it,
and benefited greatly:
Dear George:
I had to write to tell
you how much I appreciate your hard work
on getting me a reverse
mortgage. I have to admit, when I first thought
about the idea, it was a
bit frightening. There are
stories about people losing their homes or costs
being so high. However,
after I spoke with you
and the HUD counselor,
I realized this is what I
needed to get my life back
in order.
As you remember,
I was going to lose my
home due to my real
estate taxes being delinquent. When I spoke
to the bank I have been
dealing with for 45
years, they told me I
didn’t qualify for a loan.
No one wanted to help...
Until I spoke with you
and your staff.
I took out the reverse

mortgage. The process
was simple. The costs
were very nominal, and I
was able to save my home
because I was able to get
my taxes paid up to date
before the tax sale. I now
have a line of credit to
use whenever I need it,
so when the oil bill comes
this winter, I will be able
to handle that, along
with the repairs I plan on

doing before the winter.
And all of this without
having to worry about
where the money is coming from.
Thank you once again
for helping me. I will
never be able to tell you
just how much this great
program changed my
life!

Each year the Kettle
Creek
Environmental Education Center
conducts tours of its
Maple Sugaring site
in Marshalls Creek in
February and March
for schools, scouts, homeschoolers, and other interested groups.
This is a great opportunity to learn about
maple sugaring which
has been going on in
our area for hundreds
of years. Two-hour
tours include stops
at stations providing
information on the
history of maple sugaring, which dates
back to the Native
Americans, the evaporating process that
we use today and provides the groups with
the opportunity to tap
a maple tree whose
sap will be used in
the 2015 maple syrup production. Also
shown are methods of
collecting maple sap,
and finally, the cooking process that produces the sweet maple
syrup. Dates this year
for organized groups
(including students,
scouts and any organization) have been
set for Monday, February 23 through Friday, March 13, 2015.
Cost: $3/per participant and scheduling is
done on a first-come,
first-serve basis.
We will be sponsoring a special day in the
Sugarbush for Scouts
on Saturday, March 14,
2015. Programs can be
scheduled
between
9 a.m. – 2 p.m. and
are open to any level of scouts and their
families. The day will
feature a tour of the
Sugarbush including
stops to learn about
Native American and
early pioneer methods of making maple

women are more practical in their choices.
For the most part, they
may just want to buy a
reasonably priced car
that safely drives them
around,”

Phong Ly, co-founder

sibility of caring for
their car.
To help new drivers
become more comfortable with the auto
service and repair
process, the Car Care
Council, the source
of information for the
“Be Car Care Aware”
campaign promoting
regular vehicle care,
maintenance and repair, has a variety of
online resources including a video entitled “Auto Service
and Repair: What to
Expect.” It provides
valuable information
on such topics as finding the right auto repair facility, what happens at the shop and
what questions to ask.
The video also covers
consumer rights and
the
manufacturer’s
warranty.
Also available at
www.carcare.org/carcare-guide is a free
80-page booklet in
English and in Spanish. The popular guide
uses
easy-to-understand language and
includes descriptions
of major vehicle systems, questions to ask
a professional technician, and a checklist to
remind drivers what
vehicle systems need
to be maintained and
when service or repair
should be performed.
Special sections on
fuel economy and environmental
awareness show new drivers how to get better
gas mileage and make
their vehicle more environmentally friendly.
The Council’s online
custom service schedule and e-mail reminder service can also help
young people remember to include car care
in their busy schedules. This free, easyto-use resource can be
personalized to help
make auto care more

costs.
