KINGSTON SENIOR CENTER

THE ANCHOR M O N T H LY M A G A Z I N E | O C TO B E R 2 0 2 1

The Senior Center Celebrates its 10 Year Anniversary!

T his October marks the 10 year anniversary of the Senior Center building opening at its current location on Evergreen Street. Before moving behind the Kingston Town House, the Senior Center was located inside the basement of the Reed Community Building on Summer Street. In early 2010, the town approved construction for a new 7,300 square foot facility that would be more conducive to hosting year round activities and larger group events. The new Senior Center would become one of the busiest town buildings, seeing hundreds of visitors daily for various activities such as exercise, arts & crafts, card games, support groups, congregate meals, and much more. To celebrate this milestone, the Council on Aging will host a 10 year anniversary celebration on Tuesday, October 19 from 11 am—2 pm at the Senior Center. Residents are invited to visit the center for a BBQ cookout in the parking lot, a chance to view a historical display from past COA events, giveaways, and more! The event will take place rain or shine and is open to the public.

COA Board Chairman, Joe Favaloro keeps us updated on how to Protect Against Scammers

and Spammers Tricks (PASST)

Senior Safety Tips Staying Safe From Scams

We have new Kingston Police liaisons, Sergeant Tom Mori and Officer Heath Holloway. These officers made a presentation at the August 19, 2021, Thursday luncheon specifically addressing scams. Their presentation was excellent and asked if anyone in attendance had received calls from scammers. Approximately six individuals spoke up and shared their experiences. We are happy to say not one fell to scammer tactics. Nice job! Stay diligent. We will be getting updates from the police every month going forward. A Sherriff in West Boylston announced that some locals have fallen for a scam and showed up at the gate of the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction for DNA testing after paying a fee to scammers. The caller identifies themselves to the intended victim as a deputy sheriff or sergeant and tells them they must report to the Sheriff's Department for a DNA or blood test and demands a fee be paid. The Sherriff reminds residents that law enforcement agencies do not contact residents and demand payment or ask for credit card information for anything over the phone. Additionally, they do not provide any sort of DNA/blood test for the general public. Source: Kim Ring, Telegram and Gazette If you travel by plane, you know those TSA lines can be brutal. If you're thinking about signing up for TSA pre-check to avoid long lines, the Better Business Bureau says beware of fake websites that are popping up. There have been several reports of people entering their personal information such as Social Security number or credit card numbers, then paying a large fee. Not only is that money lost, but you also don’t get the TSA pre-check and all your information is in the hands of the bad guys. To protect yourself, make sure the TSA site you visit ends like this: dot gov. That's the official government website. Registration and renewal for the program costs $85 for five years. No more than that. If you're paying more than that, it's fake. Source: Rossen Reports.com The following was received in an email from AARP: “Our AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline phones are abuzz with the latest impersonator scheme, this time claiming to be AARP Security Systems. Please know it is most definitely not AARP. We haven't learned of anyone losing money to this scam, but many tell us the caller asks the recipient if they own their home and then hangs up. Impostor scams can happen with any brand and can target any of us.” Source: AARP

Check Your Charges By Austin R. Sennett

No! No! Not those restaurant, service station and

grocery charges. This month’s Senior Safety Tips

are all about electrical charges and how to keep

them accounted for. Our tips, this month, will

again amplify previously well-grounded messages

that have kept us safe over the years. Our focus is

on electrical fires in the home.

Electrical fires are no joke nor stranger to seniors.

From 2014 to 2018 Massachusetts Fire

Departments responded to more than 2,450

residential fires caused by electrical issues. The

highest percentages of those fires were in

residences occupied by seniors. Those fires

resulted in 38 civilian deaths and 93 major injuries.

More than 350 fire service personnel were injured

while operating at these incidents. The financial

cost of those fires was just shy of two hundred

million dollars.

Call the Fire Department immediately if you

observe any of these warning signs:

Arcs, sparks or short circuiting

A sizzling or buzzing sound

A vague smell of something burning

Look around your home for these hazards and

correct them:

• Overloaded outlets

• Overloaded power strips

• Pinched cords behind furniture or counters

• Lamps or fixtures with light bulbs higher than

recommended voltage

• Electrical cords underneath rugs, carpets or

furniture

• Cords with frayed wires or insulation

• Extension cords that are not properly rated for

the appliances they power

OCES Update Nutrition News

Inflammation and Foods That Fight It By Marcia Richards, MEd, RD, MCHES

What is inflammation? Inflammation is a process that occurs when your immune system activates because your body has detected something foreign like bacteria, viruses, pollen, or chemicals. It is actually a natural process that protects your body and allows it to heal. When inflammation happens, chemicals from your body’s white blood cells enter your blood or tissues to protect your body from invaders. This raises the blood flow to the area of injury or infection and can cause redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause fluid to leak into your tissues, resulting in swelling. Many major diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer’s have been linked to chronic inflammation.

Can your diet fight off inflammation? According to Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, many experimental studies have shown that components in foods and beverages may have anti-inflammatory effects. Choosing the right anti-inflammatory foods may help to reduce your risk of illness. Conversely, the wrong foods could accelerate the inflammatory disease process.

Foods that cause inflammation Try to avoid or limit refined carbohydrates such as white bread and pastries, French fries and other fried foods, soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages, red meat like burgers and steak,

processed meat including hot dogs; margarine, shortening, and lard. You should also limit how much alcohol you drink, manage stress, get regular physical activity, attain/maintain a healthy weight, and quit smoking.

Foods that reduce inflammation Strategies to reduce inflammation include eating fruits and vegetables like blueberries, apples, and leafy greens. These foods contain natural antioxidants and polyphenols which are associated with anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have also shown that nuts are associated with reduced markers of inflammation and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Coffee contains polyphenols and other anti-inflammatory compounds and may also protect against inflammation. The Mediterranean diet, which is high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish, and healthy oils is a great eating plan to lower inflammation.

Raising Awareness - Substance Abuse Prevention & Domestic Violence

October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Raising awareness to prevent substance use disorder and domestic violence is crucial as numbers are on the rise. Both can drastically alter a household and threaten the health, safety and well-being of everyone in the home. When parents with substance use disorder are unable to care for their children, grandparents often step up to keep the family together and provide a sense of security. In 2017, the opioid epidemic was declared a public health emergency. Across the nation, more than 2.7 million grandparents are raising grandchildren. Essentially, grandparents who may need care themselves, have become the caregivers. No matter how much grandparents love their grandchildren, taking them into their home requires many adjustments. Grandparents become responsible for daily care along with homework, sports, and other commitments. It can be incredibly challenging to these older adults as they may also be struggling with their own health, mobility, financial and/or other issues. Another household crisis is domestic violence; this can affect anyone regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or socioeconomic status. Domestic violence is perpetrated by a current or former intimate partner and involves behavior meant to control, scare or harm. It often occurs in the home and can include emotional abuse as well as psychological, physical, and/or sexual violence. Domestic violence may emerge when a current or former partner struggles with substance use disorder. Intimidation, verbal abuse, financial abuse, social isolation, shoving, hitting, stalking and cyber-stalking are only a few examples of domestic violence. Supporting & Protecting Older Adults Help OCES raise awareness of elder abuse and domestic violence. If you see something, say something. The signs of elder abuse and domestic violence are not always obvious and can be difficult to recognize. Visit the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) website at www.ncadv.org for comprehensive information.

If you have a Protective Services concern, call the Massachusetts-based Elder Abuse Hotline at 800-

922-2275 or visit www.ocesma.org for more information on this, and the Family Caregiver

Support Program.

Sweet Bread By: Jessica Hannon And Jeanine Boutin

Donna and Amy grew up in North Plymouth in the 1950s. They did everything together. Donna even taught Amy how to ride her two-wheel bicycle. The streets were so quiet and empty, they spent hours going up and down and back and forth on their bikes alongside dragonflies and butterflies. Growing up, one memory that particularly sticks out had to do with sweet bread. Not just any sweet bread, but the kind Amy’s Portuguese grandmother made on Saturday mornings. With so many friends and family, large amounts of sweet bread were made every week. Donna’s mother would give her money on those bread baking Saturdays to buy the delicious bread for their family. She would run down the street to Amy’s house in hopes of catching her grandmother there before the bread ran out. Donna would run back home feeling the warm bread against her and inhaling the aroma so deeply she could almost taste it. She felt so lucky when there was enough bread to bring home to her mother. They would immediately sit down and drench the warm, fragrant bread with heaping dollops of butter and enjoy every single morsel. When Donna turned fifteen, they grew apart because Amy went away to a private school. They did not see each other for decades and each raised their own family. More than fifty years later, they were reacquainted at the local Senior Center. For them it was like they were never separated, even though they now had children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The joy from their early friendship was once again part of their lives.
