TRIAD CORNER

The Danvers TRIAD Council is a partnership which includes the Sheriff and

District Attorney of Essex County, the Danvers Police and Fire Chiefs, the Council

on Aging and supportive services, and seniors. Proper disposal of prescription

drugs has become a problem for every community in the United States. The

number of Americans who abuse prescription drugs illegally now exceeds the number of

Americans who abuse cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, and heroin combined. Studies have

shown that prescription drug abusers sometimes get the pills from medicine cabinets in homes.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "The age-old advice of flushing

pharmaceuticals down the toilet is now considered to be the least desirable of all

alternatives." Once flushed down the drain or toilet, expired or unwanted medications become

a source of pollution in wastewater and they generally can not be removed by treatment plants

or septic systems. The Danvers Police Department provides a safe location in the lobby of the

police station for Danvers residents to properly dispose of their unwanted prescription

medications. The police department partnered with the United States post office who

donated a used mailbox to be used as a secure safe for these items. There is also another

used mailbox available for the safe disposal of used needles or “sharps”.

Popcorn & A Movie – Join us on

Tuesday, September 18th for

“Won’t You Be My Neighbor”.

Plot: This documentary paints a

portrait of the philosophy and work of

cardigan-wearing children’s entertainer Fred

Rogers, star of the popular show “Mister

Rogers’ Neighborhood.” Mister Rogers

creatively communicated themes of empathy

and acceptance using a colorful cast of

puppets and friends for more than 30 years.

Along with archival footage, Rogers’

contemporaries and castmates reflect on his

legacy. Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture

Association of America for Language,

Mature Thematic issues. Please sign up at

the front desk, or call the center at

978 762-0208 if you plan on attending.

Check in and you may win a

prize!!!!

Are you using your card to

check in on “My Senior Center”

at the front desk every time you come to the

center for a class, trip, activity or to enter

your volunteer hours? There is a new

category titled “Raffle”. Every day that you

are at the Senior Center and check in,

remember to touch on the Raffle option on

the first page and you will earn an entry into

the Raffle. A random winner will be selected

on the first business day of each month to

ensure that all entries from the previous

month are included. The July winner was

Cynthia Landry who received 4 free

Strong Women classes. So remember to

check in on the computer each time you are

here. If you don’t have a card, stop by the

Evening Book Club – The Book

Club will meet next on Mon-

day, September 17th at 5:30

PM. The book this month is

“The House We Grew Up In” by Lisa Jewell

PLOT: Meet the picture perfect Bird with 4

children. Their father is a sweet, gangly man,

but it’s their beautiful, free-spirited mother

Lorelei who spins the center. In those early

years, Lorelei tries to freeze time by filling

their simple home with precious mementos.

Easter egg foils are her favorite. She hangs

all the children’s art, to her husband’s chagrin.

Then one Easter weekend, a tragedy so devas-

tating occurs that, almost imperceptibly, it be-

gins to tear the family apart. Years pass and

the children have become adults, while Lorelei

has become the county’s worst hoarder. She

has alienated her husband and children and has

been living as a recluse. But then something

happens that beckons the family back to the

house they grew up in – to finally understand

the events of that long-ago Easter weekend and

to unearth the many secrets hidden within the

nooks and crannies of home. Please call Paula at

978 762-0208 x104 if you will be attending.

Memory Café is coming to the Senior Center! A Memory Café is a welcoming place

for people with forgetfulness or other changes in their thinking and for their

family and friends.

Memory Cafés meet at a variety of places in Massachusetts communities. Each

memory café is different. Some cafés invite guest artists, some offer information

about memory changes and all cafés are about relaxing and chatting. All cafés

share these goals:

• To help guests feel comfortable and to know they are not alone.

• To talk with others who understand what you are going through.

• To leave behind limitations and instead focus on strengths.

• To enjoy the company of others.

• To explore something new.

Join us for refreshments, activities and conversation in a welcoming place for

caregivers and individuals living with memory changes October 9th and November

13th 1:30-3pm. RSVP requested but not required. For further information, contact

Judith Ryan 978-762-0208

MEMORY CAFÉ

It’s that time of year again! If you are enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medi-

care Advantage Plan (HMO/PPO), expect an information packet from your plan by the end of

September. It is important to understand and save this information: it explains the changes in

your plan for 2019. Premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and the drugs covered by your plan can

change significantly! During Medicare Open Enrollment, you can adjust your plan for next year.

SHINE Counselors help you understand your plan changes as well as other options you may

have. Call now to discuss your insurance questions, schedule your SHINE phone or face-to-face

appointment, or learn about group meetings during the Open Enrollment from October 15th

through December 7th! REMINDER: Be on the alert for your new Medicare card in the

mail and as always, bring your card and drug list to your appointment!

You can call the Danvers Council on Aging at 978-762-0208 or call 1-800-AGE-INFO (1-800-

243-4636), then press or say 3. If you get the SHINE answering machine, leave your name

and number. A volunteer will call you back, as soon as possible.
