Benefits of Coffee
Wake up and smell the … antioxidants? If you think your morning cup of joe provides nothing more to your body
than a jolt of caffeine, you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that
your daily cup (or three) provides some health benefits as well. Drinking
moderate amounts of coffee (including decaf) has been linked to lower
risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease and
some cancers.
And those antioxidants? Although researchers have yet to determine the exact mechanisms
behind some of the disease-preventing effects, it is important to keep in mind that these
compounds may be exerting other beneficial effects, such as acting as an anti-inflammatory.
Coffee also contains small amounts of some nutrients, including potassium, niacin and
magnesium.
Making your coffee a vehicle for fat-free milk is one way to improve your daily calcium and
vitamin D. If your diet does not include dairy, a fortified soy beverage is a calcium-rich
alternative.
So how much java is too much? It's wise to stick to no more than 3 to
4 cups per day. Certain groups, such as people with hypertension and
the elderly, may be more susceptible to the adverse effects of
caffeine. Pregnant and breast-feeding women will want to limit intake
to a maximum of 200 to 300 milligrams a day of caffeine (the amount
in 2 to 3 cups of coffee).
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women
cap caffeine consumption at 200 milligrams a day.

Fuel Assistance Income
And Asset Guidelines
The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps eligible individuals and families pay part of their home heating costs. Applications will be accepted until May 31, 2019.
LIHEAP can help pay for the fuel you use to heat the home you live in from October through May if you buy your heating fuel from a fuel dealer or a utility company (fuel oil, propane, natural gas, electricity, wood coal or kerosene), or if your rent payments include heat and you do not receive a rent subsidy. The amount of benefits you may be eligible for depends on your income, the type and size of your home and the type of fuel used to heat your home.
To be eligible, the total income of all persons living in your household must be counted. Total income, after allowable deductions, must be below these limits:
1 person household:
$2,403 per month/$28,831 per year
2 person household:
$3,142 per month/$37,702 per year
3 person household:
$3,881per month/$46,573.00 per year
Written proof or verification of your income, your heating bill and medical expenses that can be deducted from your income is needed to be sure your eligibility and benefits are calculated correctly.
Application are available from Richland County Social Services or our office after
October 1, 2018.

Medicare Part D Annual Enrollment
October 15 – December 7th
Effective January 1, 2019
Reasons you should participate in this annual event include:
The prescription drug plans approved by Medicare are approved for one calendar year (January through
December). The private companies offering these plans must apply to Medicare to be approved each year, so plans change from year to year.
You can select the best plan that is available for you, with a goal of finding one that is the least expensive.
These plans are very different for each individual based on your current medications and which pharmacy or
pharmacies you use.
You may determine that based on your income and assets you qualify for Extra Help from Social Security
that could result in lower premium and prescription costs.
Options for enrollment assistance:
The North Dakota Insurance Department will conduct an information and enrollment session:
Country Inn & Suites, 3316 13th Ave S, Fargo on Wednesday, October 17th from 9 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Bring a list of your medications, including dosages and frequency, your Medicare card, and the full name of your
current plan. If you are attending an enrollment event and have a yellow retrieval card from the Insurance Department, bring it along to expedite assistance.
If you are not able to attend an enrollment session, you can begin a Part D plan comparison over the
phone by calling 2-1-1 from anywhere within North Dakota.
This free service is available from October 11th until November 16th. Please have your most up to date list of
medications and the name of the pharmacy you use. If you have a yellow retrieval card from previous plan
comparisons that number is helpful also. 211 will be available to gather your medication information and you will be asked about your income range and or assets to determine if you qualify for any available cost assistance programs.
The Insurance Department will complete the drug plan comparison and they will be mailed to you for your review.
The Insurance Department will not be mailing comparisons until on or after October 15, when Medicare’s computer
program allows them to begin. Please be patient. You can then make your choice and if you are making a change in
plans, you will call the plan you wish to enroll in.
You can compare plans using Medicare’s online Drug Plan Finder at: http://www.medicare.gov
Contact the State Health Insurance Counseling Program at 1-888-575-6611

Hey, Richland County! Let’s do lunch!
Abercrombie, Hankinson and Lidgerwood will be providing an open lunch hour starting October 1, 2018.
How does this work?
Because we know that not everyone is able and ready to eat at the time our sites have previously served lunch, lunch
will now be served between the following hours at the following specific locations within Richland County:
Abercrombie-M,T,W from 11:00 am –12:30 pm Hankinson-T,W,F from 11:00 am-12:30 pm
Lidgerwood-M,T,Th from 11:00 am-1:00 pm
The meals are available to individuals age 60 and older and their spouses, regardless of age, for a suggested
donation of $4.00 a meal.
Reservations are required to ensure that we have enough food prepared for everyone that day. You can make
reservations by calling your local senior center (phone numbers are listed on page 11) before 9:00 a.m. the day that
you would like to eat with us.
Still working?
No worries! Because we have expanded our serving times, you can come in on your lunch hour! You will be served
quickly so that you can get back to work in a timely manner.
Come join us! We would love to have you!
