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. Prescription drug abuse is a growing trend among our
nation’s youth. According to the Office of National Drug Control
Policy, most young people obtain these drugs from their parents’ or
grandparents’ medicine cabinets. For this reason, it is important to
secure your prescription medications so that they cannot be easily
stolen from your home. In addition, unused, unneeded or expired
prescription drugs should be disposed of properly. The Danvers
Police Department has a Medicine Disposal Program where unused
prescription medications can be dropped in a secure box inside the
entrance to the station. One may put the container itself into the
disposal box, or if worried about personal information on the
container, take the label off first, or simply pour the medication into
a plastic bag before inserting into the disposal box opening.
Disposal down the drain or toilet is not safe for the environment,
since residue has been found in rivers and lakes. Danvers Police
about twice a year destroy drugs that have accumulated at
headquarters. There is also a secure box inside the station for the
disposal of the home use of “sharps”, i.e, medical needles and other
sharp medical instruments. For more information call the Danvers
Senior Center 978-762-0208 Ext. 106.

Margaret Fuller: A new American Life by Megan Marshall. Pulitzer Prize finalist Megan Marshall recounts the trailblazing life
of Margret Fuller: Thoreau’s first editor, Emerson’s close friend, daring war correspondent, tragic heroine. After her untimely
death in a shipwreck off Fire Island, the sense and passion of her life’s work were eclipsed by scandal. Marshall’s inspired nar
rative brings her back to indelible life.Whether detailing her front-age New York Tribune editorials against poor conditions in
the city’s prisons and mental hospitals, or illuminating her late-in-life hunger for passionate experience—including a secret affair
with a young officer in the Roman Guard—Marshall’s biography gives the most thorough and compassionate view of an extraor

TUESDAY TRAVELS
“Popcorn & A Movie” – Join us on Tuesday, February 17th at 1 PM. “The Good Lie” Starring Reese Witherspoon. Plot: Mamere and
Theo are sons of the Chief in their village in Southern Sudan. When an attack by the Northern militia destroys their home and kills their
parents, eldest son Theo is forced to assume the role of Chief and lead a group of young survivors, including his sister Abital, away from
harm. As the tattered group make the difficult trek to Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, they meet other fleeing children, bonding with Jeremiah, already a man of faith at 12 and Paul, whose skills become essential to their survival. Thirteen years later, the young adults are given
the opportunity to leave the camp and resettle in America. Arriving in Kansas, they are met by Carrie Davis, an employment agency counselor who has been enlisted to help find them jobs. Carrie has successfully kept herself from any emotional entanglements, but these refugees, desperately requiring help navigating the 20th century and rebuilding their shattered lives, need just that. So with the help of her boss,
she embarks on her own uncharted territory, and the Lost Boys and these unlikely strangers find humor in the clash of cultures, and heartbreak as well as hope in the challenges of life in America. Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for thematic elements, some violence, brief strong language and drug use. Please sign up at the front desk or call the senior center at 978 762-0208 if
you plan on attending the movie.

How to Obtain the Senior ‘Circuit Breaker’ Tax Credit
If you’re a Massachusetts property owner and are age 65+, you’d probably welcome a break on
your property taxes. Dream on you say? Actually, such an option exists and, if you’re eligible, it’s
yours for the taking. According to the MA Department of Revenue, some 957,000 residents 65 and
older in the state are eligible to receive the tax credit. It’s called the Circuit Breaker, and according to this month’s
AARP Bulletin, in 2012 more than 86,000 Massachusetts taxpayers claimed nearly $67 million in refunds under the
program, according to the state Department of Revenue. The average refund in 2012 was $774. The Circuit Breaker
refund acts the way an electrical circuit breaker would work, but here it prevents property taxes from exceeding an
older person’s income and ability to pay taxes.
Eligible taxpayers can file for the credit up to three years retroactively, so read the Bulletin story today and learn
more about this valuable tax refund. Go to http://states.aarp.org/ma-tax/
Do you or someone you know need help managing tax time stress? Look no further than AARP Foundation
Tax-Aide, the nation’s largest, free, volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance service. A dedicated corps of
volunteers provide face-to-face tax assistance and preparation services at more than 200 sites across the Bay State.
