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. Senior citizens are often the targets

of criminal activity, particularly scams during the

summer. Seniors can be targeted by telephone, through

the mail, door-to-door or over the Internet. Remember, if

it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Protect

yourself:

· Never give out any personal information such as

your social security number or credit card

numbers unless you initiate the contact.

· Ask questions and don’t feel pressured to “act

now.”

· Don’t pay by cash and ask for written

information.

· Don’t be afraid to hang up or close the door.

If you receive a letter , telephone call or electronic mail

notifying you that you have won some kind of prize, be

careful! This is most likely a scam.

Do not be embarrassed if you are a victim of a scam. If

you believe you are a victim, contact the Danvers Police

Department.

7/12 Are you prepared for an Emergency? Joanne

MacInnis of Aberdeen Home Care will give you all the

information you need for emergency preparedness

Special Presentation of the movie “Gaslight” on

Monday, July 17th at 1 PM. This 1944 film features

Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotton.

The plot centers on a woman whose aunt was murdered

in her home. The young woman moves back into the

house with her new husband. However, the husband

has a secret that he will do anything to protect, even if it

means driving his wife insane. After the movie, we

will have a discussion with Carolyn Lewis of NS Elder

Services, around the dynamics of power, control and

manipulation used by the characters in the movie to

better understand unhealthy relationships. There are

many forms of abuse that people are unaware of and are

worth talking about. Please call 978 762-0208 to

reserve your space.

Here are some tips to follow during hot, humid weather

Slow down, avoid strenuous activity. Do not try to do too much on a hot day.

Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Light colors will

reflect heat and sunlight and help maintain normal body temperature. Protect

your face with a wide- brimmed hat. Drink plenty of water regularly and

often, even if you do not feel thirsty. Attempt to stay hydrated. Limit intake

of alcoholic beverages. They can actually dehydrate your body. Eat

well-balanced, light, regular meals. Avoid high protein foods that increase

metabolic heat. Stay indoors as much as possible. If you do not have air

conditioning, stay on your lowest floor, out of the sun. Electric fans do not

cool the air, but they do help evaporate perspiration, which cools your body.

Go to a place where you can get relief from the heat, such as air conditioned

schools, libraries, theaters and other community facilities that may offer refuge during the warmest times of

the day. Check with your community for information about possible local ‘cooling centers’. Cover

windows that receive morning or afternoon sun with drapes, shades, awnings or louvers. Outdoor awnings

or louvers can reduce the heat that enters a home by up to 80%. Avoid too much sunshine. Sunburn slows

the skin’s ability to cool itself. If you are outside, use sunscreen lotion with a high SPF (Sun Protection

Factor) rating. Never leave children or pets alone in a closed vehicle. Check on family, friends and

neighbors.
