FINANCIAL FOCU$

Millennials May Need to Boost Life Insurance If you’re a Millennial – born between 1981 and 1996 – you’re either in the very early or relatively early stages of your career, and as the old song goes, you’ve got a lot of living to do. Still, it’s not too soon to think about a financial issue you may have overlooked: the need for life insurance.

Regarding this topic, Millennials need to ask three key questions: When should I purchase insurance? The answer to this question depends somewhat on your stage of Millennialism. If you’re a young Millennial, perhaps just out of college, single, and living in an apartment, your need for life insurance may not be that great. After all, you may well have other, more pressing financial needs, such as paying off your student loans. But if you’re an older Millennial, and you’ve got a mortgage, a spouse and – especially – children, then you unquestionably need insurance, because you’ve got a lot to protect.

How much do I need? Millennials who own life insurance have, on average, $100,000 in coverage, according to New York Life’s 2018 Life Insurance Gap Survey. But that same survey found that Millennials themselves reported they need coverage worth about $450,000, leaving an insurance deficit of approximately $350,000. That’s a pretty big gap, but of course, these figures are averages and may not apply to your situation. Still, you should know how much insurance you require. You might have heard that you need life insurance worth about seven or eight times your annual salary. And while this isn’t a terrible estimate, it doesn’t apply to everyone, because everyone’s situation is different. A financial professional can look at various factors – your age, your marital status, number of children, size of mortgage, etc. – to help you arrive at an appropriate level of coverage.

Keep in mind, also, that your employer may offer life insurance as an employee benefit. However, it might be insufficient for your needs, especially if you have a family, and it will probably end if you leave your job.

What type of life insurance should I get? Many people initially find life insurance to be confusing, but there are basically two types: term and permanent. As its name suggests, term insurance covers a given time period, such as 10 or 15 years, and provides only a death benefit.

It’s generally quite affordable, especially when you’re young and healthy. Permanent insurance, on the other hand, offers a death benefit and a savings component that allows you to build cash value. Consequently, the premiums are higher than those of term insurance. Again, a financial professional can help you determine which type of insurance is most appropriate for your needs.

Thus far, we’ve only been talking about life insurance.

But you may also need other types of protection, such as disability insurance, which can replace part of your income should you become ill or incapacitated. And you may eventually want to explore long-term care insurance, which can help cover you for the enormous costs of an extended nursing home stay.

You should at least consider all forms of insurance as part of your overall financial strategy. The future is unknowable – and as a Millennial, you’ve got plenty of future ahead of you.

Apples and Orchards

By Susan E. Leath

With the weather turning to the cool crispness of fall, your town historian’s mind turns to apples as I am sure yours does too. Apple picking is such a quintessential fall activity in Bethlehem and all of Upstate New York.

Apples and apple orchards have a long history here going back to the earliest Dutch settlement era. The Van Rensselaers urged their tenant farmers to plant orchards of apples, pears, and other fruits. Think about that for a minute. In the 1600s, to European eyes, the land here in what is now Bethlehem was very much wilderness. To plant an apple seed in anticipation of the tree growing and bearing fruit, something that could take 10 years, was an act of faith in the future of the settlement.

In 1682, Albert Bratt, the Norwegian for whom the Norman’s Kill is named, subleased his orchard along the creek to his future son-in-law Teunis Cornelissen Slingerland. The rent was 150 “schepels” a year. If this was the usual ten percent, then that orchard was producing 1500 “schepels” of apples a year. That’s about 1100 bushels in modern terms, and likely over 250 mature trees.

The orderly row of trees seen in this circa 1910 map of the J. B. Lyon estate in Cedar Hill strongly suggest the presence of an orchard.

65+ years later, during his stay in the Albany area in June 1749, Peter Kalm noted that each farm had a large orchard. Some of the apples were “very large and palatable” and were “sent to New York, and other places as a rarity.” He also wrote “they make excellent cider, in autumn, in the country round Albany.”

While in my mind Indian Ladder Farm is synonymous with apples, the only pictures I have are set among the pumpkins. Here is my daughter Emma circa 1998.

p. 12

An important word about that cider. We are not talking about the delicious cider we pick up at the store today.

We are talking about hard, that is alcoholic, cider. Also delicious, but not the benign cider of today. Orchards in those early days were dedicated to cider apples and the reason is interesting. Apple trees grown from seed do not produce the kind of apple the seed came from. For example, if you plant the seeds from a Golden Delicious apple, watch the tree grow and harvest its fruit, the

All of the apples on these stencils are listed in The Apples of New York published in 1905. Baldwins arose from a chance seedling on John Ball’s farm in Wilmington, M.A. The tree and its fruit were brought to the attention of Loammi Baldwin as early as 1784 who propagated it widely. Sutton and Sutton Beauty originated in Sutton, M.A. The Cranberry Pippin is mentioned only as what it is not, a Scarlet Cranberry. Louie Bonne is either a Belle Bonne or a Billy Bond, two very different apples whose names were mixed up early on. Hubbardston is an apple native to Hubbardston, M.A.

resulting apple is not be a Golden Delicious. It is likely to be sour and look nothing like its parent apple. Sour, inedible apples however, are excellent for pressing into cider. That cider can then be easily fermented back on the farmstead into a drink that, especially on the frontier, is more easily obtained than beer or wine, or even fresh water. While seedlings and grafted trees did come from Europe early on, apple seeds were also planted in abundance. You might remember the tale of Johnny Appleseed?

To get a true Golden Delicious, one needs to purchase a grafted tree. And this is interesting too. Apples, in the wild genetic mixing of their seeds, sometimes produce very yummy varieties. Every Golden Delicious goes back to a single apple tree, one found in an orchard on the Mullin’s family farm in West Virginia in 1904. Anderson Mullins sold the tree and propagation rights to Stark Brothers Nursery who first marketed it in 1914. Another example is the Granny Smith. That apple literally goes back to a single tree discovered by Maria Ann Smith in Australia in 1868. And yes, Maria did become a Granny.

The Temperance movement of the late 1800s (which eventually led to Prohibition in 1919) caused farmers and orchardists to wonder what they were going to do with all their apples if they couldn’t make hard cider from them. The answer was to market them for their healthy wholesomeness with the classic “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This in turn led to something of an apple gold rush where farmers scoured their orchards for the tree that distinguished itself with extra special fruit. Shoots of that special tree could then be grafted onto root stock and the saplings marketed and sold.

Apples, and other orchard produce, continued to be a cash crop for Bethlehem farmers well into the 1900s.

For example, in the 1940s, Sunnybrook Farm, run by Charles and Virginia Waldenmaier, included a 500-tree orchard with Alexander, Wolf River, Greening, Delicious and Macintosh apple trees. While Bethlehem does not currently boast a large commercial orchard, remnant trees from the old orchards can be found. Recently while walking in the woods near my home, I noticed large apples on the ground, and looking up saw the gnarled old tree they came from. Could this tree have been part of the orchards of the Van Allen family farm that was here before my housing subdivision? You bet!

This article was inspired in three ways. First and foremost, by the iconic Indian Ladder Farms. Second by the book Botany of Desire A Plant’s Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan. Pollan’s article on apples and the real Johnny Appleseed is fascinating. And finally, the collection of the Bethlehem Historical Association has several brass stencils in its collection that illustrate the wonderful variety of fruit produced by Bethlehem farmers. Romantic sounding names like Blue Gage, Green Gage, Baldwin, Magnum Bonum, Cranberry Pippin, Louie Honne, Sutton Beauty, and Hubbardston were stenciled onto boxes and barrels in preparation for shipment to market.

Town historian Susan Leath’s new book, Bethlehem People and Places, explores Bethlehem, New York’s unique history through 36 illustrated articles.

Places ground our history. People make history lively. Come along on the journey as Leath follows her curiosity in her hometown of Bethlehem. Read about Victorian and vernacular farmhouses, and about the families that made these types of building home. Find out the story of World War I veteran John Adams Dyer, Hudson River light keeper Warren Welch and architect Grace Slingerland.

Wonder about how Delmar got its name, and just where is the hamlet of Frazertown.

Author Susan E. Leath was appointed Bethlehem Town Historian in 2007. She is continually inspired by the people who generously share their family history. Leath believes local history opens the way to the wider sweep of our national story. She invites you to be curious about the everyday people and places around you.

Halloween Safety

Halloween can be one of the scariest nights of the year, but keeping your pets safe doesn’t have to be tricky. By using these simple precautions, you can keep your pets happy and safe on All Hallows Eve. Doorbells, scary costumes, screaming kids and loud noises are inevitable; try to minimize the spooky sounds as much as possible as not to terrify your dog or cat. If need be, use a sound machine or turn on the TV to drown out some of the background noise. Better yet, have a safe haven in a room where they can feel safe, comfortable and relaxed and far away from any hazards.

While opening the door for trick-or-treaters, be sure that your dog or cat doesn’t dart outside. And always make sure your pet it wearing proper identification—if for any reason he or she does escape, a collar with ID tags and a microchip can help get your lost pet back home safely.

The candy bowl is for trick-or-treaters, not Scruffy or Fluffy.

Several popular Halloween treats are toxic to pets. Chocolate in all forms—especially dark or baking chocolate—can be very dangerous for cats and dogs, and sugar-free candies containing the sugar substitute xylitol can be fatal to pets.

Carved jack-o-lanterns are festive, but pets can easily knock over a lit pumpkin and start a fire. Curious cats are especially at risk of getting burned or singed by candle flames. Use pet friendly LED pumpkin lights instead.

Protect your investment with a survey!

Fall and Halloween plants such as pumpkins and decorative corn are relatively nontoxic, but can produce stomach discomfort in pets who nibble on them. Keep glow sticks and glow jewelry away from your pets. Although the liquid in these products isn't usually toxic, it makes pets salivate excessively and can cause GI upset.

For some pets, wearing a costume may cause undue stress.

Don’t put your dog or cat in a costume unless you know he or she loves it. If you do dress up your pet for Halloween, make sure the costume does not limit his or her movement, sight or ability to breathe, bark or meow. Check the costume carefully for small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that could be eaten and get stuck in the stomach or intestines.

Be sure to have your pet try on the costume before the big night. If he or she seems distressed or shows abnormal behavior, put on a Halloween bandana instead.

Have a safe and happy Howl-oween!

In September, the Bethlehem Police Department fielded its first ever all-female shift.

The police officers; the dispatchers; the sergeant: all women.

This was a historic moment. Twenty years ago, people would say, "Wow, there's a female police officer!" To our community's benefit, seeing a female police officer now is fairly common, so today we say "Wow, there's a full shift of female officers!"

Let’s not wait another 20 years for this to become commonplace, too.

The Town of Bethlehem has been actively diversifying our police force so we can benefit from the perspectives that people with different experiences bring to the job. These perspectives complement the intense training and high department standards that make all of our officers so good at what they do.

Bethlehem is incredibly lucky to have these women serving our community. I can say the same for all of our officers. We have a topnotch police department that ensures the safety of our town. But it really is special to see our first all-female shift and to recognize that as our society evolves, so does our town.

Trish Pix Tattered Pages Used Books

Dear Constant Readers,

As I write this, the door to Tattered Pages is wide open, Seamus is snoozing atop the cash box and the sounds of Big Band Music fills the store. I was feeling a bit nostalgic today.

Most of my life I have been in a school at this time of the year.

As many of you know, I was a teacher for over 20 years, most of it teaching in a self-contained Fifth Grade classroom and 9 of it proudly as the Principal of St. Brigid's Regional Catholic School in Watervliet, NY. Once a teacher...always a teacher and a life long learner! The move to the bookshop happened after a series of events on my timeline that I believe were destined, though I don't really believe in pre-destiny, but this part of my journey was most unexpected, yet very rewarding, not necessarily financially, but in experiences, friendships made and opportunities for me to do service and provide valuable entertainment and education through the sale of books!

Tattered Pages (in the Glenmont Center Square @ the corner of Feura Bush Rd and Rte. 9W south) will be in existence for 13 years this October 6th. Started by Syracuse graduate, Michele Friedmen under the name Tea & Tattered Pages was fashioned after a tea/bookshop in Paris, France and similar to the bookshops that she frequented when working in D.C. and other parts of the U.S. The shop follows a similar business plan today...readers can responsibly recycle books in the shop (limited to 6 clean, odor free books) per visit in exchange for "trade credits" which are assessed by computer software to be a portion of the original publisher's price...stored in the computer until customer purchase and then take an additional 20% off the already reduced priced books! It is in the selling of the books that I am able to stay in service to the community so accepting books in is limited to people who will purchase in the future, though people without accounts can purchase at anytime! I am not the answer to the problem of "well, what am I supposed to do with these books?" or "I need a place to 'get rid' of these books". I happily take books from people who will be purchasing books in the future; however, if you are looking for a place to take clean, used books (and yes, I realize that you would only have really good books!) I will suggest a few places where you can do the research. If you have books which you believe may have some value due to their age or uniqueness, contact me, and I might be able to connect you with someone, but remember, just because a book is old, or first edition, it doesn't mean that there is a "resale" value on it...trust me, I know that with this shop! If you have wonderful books that someone else might benefit from, I would suggest you check with local church thrift shops, the Better World Books bins at local libraries, or my favorite: Grassroots Givers in Albany. They are a not for profit organization that helps out those in need due to various reasons. They are located on Washington Ave. south of Albany High and information can be found online about them. They have specific hours & days that they are open...so if you have wonderful things to donate, check them out. One should never "dump" books outside libraries, nursing homes, or my shop! That really doesn't help anyone, well maybe it helps you, but no one else!

Because of this anniversary approaching...all books will be at a 15% discount (that means even with your already established trade credits) on October 7-10th in the shop!

New into the inventory in the past few weeks: Sandra Boyton board books, My Weird School chapter books by Dan Gutman, Action Suspense books by Brad Taylor, A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, Middle School Chapter adventure series by Rick Riordan, Early chapter readers for grades 1-3, original Ellery Queen mystery paperbacks, the complete Office DVD collection, Rudyard Kipling hardcovers from the early 1900s! I attempt to put a minimum of 100 books a week onto the shelves from books brought in.

One of the aspects of the shop that I enjoy is giving back to the community! I just recently gave books with a resale value of $350 to Friends of Five Rivers Environmental Center! What a great Fall Festival they had...so family friendly in September. If you have an event coming up, and could use donations of clean/ next to new books for your fundraiser contact me, please! Your books could make a great gift basket...or you could sell them at reduced prices to raise money for your organization. I only need about 2 weeks notice to gather books & DVDs for you. Also, as we prepare for Holidays ahead, remember books make your gift basket really shine! Pick a theme and add a book! Suggestions: romance novels with a mug, tea & candle, Adventure book with popcorn, pretzels & beverage, cookbooks with cooking utensils etc.

I have many customers who belong to book clubs... why not check with me to see if I have any of your upcoming books in the shop? I order books, at the best price possible, for those who are skeptical to put their credit card out there and add only a small fee. Don't think, just because our books are used, that they aren't current!

This month I have 2 books set aside for my own personal reading. Mitch Albom's sequel to the "Five People You Meet in Heaven" called "The Next Person You Meet in Heaven" and a non-fiction book called "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming"...For those that are interested in non-fiction, I do have a nice selection of books from Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, True Crime, New Age, Diet, Fitness, Political Science, Cookbooks, Crafting, Hobbies, Religion, Travel, Memoirs, Biographies and History! Yes, just like a real bookshop...but mine has an adorable, huggable greeter dog named Seamus and a bit of a chatty bookshop owner who is eager to connect you to just the right book. So...if you are looking for your next affordable get away...check out Tattered Pages! Oh, and if you do this sort of thing, like my Facebook page at Tattered Pages, LLC where I post every day that the shop is open. Check my hours below...I would love to see you.

Enjoy the joys of Autumn whether it is pumpkin spice, apple cider flavored, mysteries with a hot cup of tea, or a children's book with a child on your lap...we would love to connect you with just the right book!
