NOVEMBER 2012
THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! If you’re still receiving your Social Security, Veterans Admini-stration or other federal benefits by check throught he mail, it’s time to change your payment method. In 2013, the US Treasury Department will phase out paper checks and require all federal benefit recipients to receive their money electronically. To avoid any problems or delays, you should switch to an electronic pay-ment method as soon as possible. You have two payment choices.
• Sign up for direct deposit to your financial institution OR
• Establish a Direct Express Debit MasterCard account
You will automatically be paid by a debit card if you don’t
choose an electronic payment option by March 1, 2013.
The Treasury Department is making the change because it’s safer, easier, more convenient, and saves time and money. It eliminates the risk of stolen checks, helps protect people from financial crime and provides them with more control over their money.

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR
NUTRITION CENTERS:
Do I have to be a member of a local
Senior Citizens Club to attend
lunch? NO. Some of the Senior Citizens’ Clubs do hold meetings at centers but they are a separate and private group. Anyone can attend lunch.
Is the center a place where people
just sit around a table eating? NO. It’s an opportunity to stay strong, healthy and vital. Come and join in maintaining your independence while enjoying social interaction to keep the mind active. Stay informed by attending interesting presenta-tions and fun activities while sharing a well-balanced meal with others.
Is the Center just for people on low
incomes? NO. No one asks your income. People of all levels are welcome and do attend. The sug-gested donation is $3.00 per meal for anyone over the age of 60 but no one is ever denied a meal if they do not contribute.
I want to do something meaningful
in my retirement. Will I find op-
portunities at the Center? YES. There are many volunteer opportu-nities ranging from setting tables, helping to serve the food or packing home-delivered meals. Just as in the community, we depend on volun-teers to assist with certain dutioes that help keep the center running smoothly.
How do I make a lunch reserva-
tion? Please call the specific Center you wish to attend at least a day be-fore the lunch is scheduled. If something comes up, please call and cancel if possible.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF PUMPKIN
The pumpkin, a member of the Cucur-bita family including squash and cucum-bers, got its name from the Greek word "pepon" for large melon. Native Ameri-cans used pumpkins, isqoutm, or isquot-ersquash as they were called, from func-tion to healing. Not only did they flatten and dry thin strips of pumpkin, making them into mats, but research shows, many tribes were well aware of the pumpkin's healing properties.
• Yuma tribes created an emulsion from pumpkin seeds to treat burns and help heal wounds.
• Catawabas ate pumpkin seeds as a medicine for kidney support.
• Menominees mixed powdered squash and water to for urinary support. Antioxidant Rich Benefits: Beta carotene---The rich orange color is a dead give away to the nutrients present in pumpkin. Research shows that people who eat a diet rich in beta-carotene are less likely to develop certain cancers than those who fail to include beta-carotene-rich foods in their diet. Loaded with Potassium---Studies show people who have a potassium rich diet lower the risk for hypertension. Potas-sium rich foods include bananas, broc-coli, avocados, pomegranate and many others. Zinc---Not only is zinc a major boost for your immune system, it also aids in bone density support for people at risk for os-teoporosis. High in Fiber---Diets rich in fiber may prevent cancer, heart disease and other serious ailments. Health Benefits: Prostate Cancer There have been many stories linking the pumpkin seed to a healthy prostate. But what is so special about these little green seeds one might ask. The protective compounds present within the seed of the pumpkin, called phytosterols, may beresponsible for shrinking the prostate.
They also contain chemicals that may prevent some transformation of testoster-one into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). High levels of DHT are associated with enlarged prostate. For BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or enlarged prostate) prevention, eating a handful (about 1 ounce) of shelled pumpkin seeds three times a week is rec-ommended. Anti-Inflammatory Benefits in Arthritis Unlike the widely used anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin, pump-kin seeds do not increase damaged fat levels in the lingus joints, a common side effect associated with indomethacin which contributes to the progression of arthritis. Great on your skin Pumpkins contains lots of anti-oxidant vitamins A and C, as well as zinc and alpha-hydroxy-acids which helps to re-duce the signs of aging. Here are some flavorful pumpkin recipes to try:
ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS:
What should you do with all those pumpkin seeds? Why, roast them! Here is a variation of the popular snack. • Preheat your oven to 350o • Rinse the seeds from 1 pumpkin in a colander and dry with paper towel. Spread the seeds in one layer on a large cookie sheet lined with parch-ment paper.
• Sprinkle 2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp of brown sugar over the seeds. Spray lightly with a butter-flavored cooking spray.
• Roast for 20—25 minutes until lightly browned, stirring halfway through.

Stir in oats and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add pumpkin and spices, and stir until heated through. Stir in raisins just before serving.
• MICROWAVE METHOD: Place oat-meal in a microwave-safe bowl and stir in milk. Microwave on high for 2—3 minutes. Remove from micro-wave and stir in pumpkin, spice and cinnamon. Heat for 40—60 seconds, or until heated through. Stir in raisins. Sweeten with brown sugar.

HOW TO SAY THANK YOU
TO A CAREGIVER
THIS THANKSGIVING
As if the upcoming national day of giv-ing thanks (Thanksgiving!) wasn’t rea-son enough to express gratitude to those who care for relatives in need, it's also National Family Caregivers Month. We may seem like we are preaching to the choir -- of course you realize you deserve a pat on the back! -- but maybe if you express gratitude to a fellow care-giver, it'll come back around to you. (And maybe your relatives or friends will read this with you in mind.) Some ideas: Thanking a family member… Mention caregivers by name in the
Thanksgiving counting of the blessings. Many families, before they feast, take inventory of all they have to be grateful for. Be sure that those who are caregiv-ers aren't left off the list. Give the gift of a day off. But don't just offer vaguely and wait for the caregiver to take you up on it. ("If you ever need help with Mom, Dad...") The person may feel uncomfortable reminding you of the offer later. Instead, name a specific day. Pitch a thought-out plan. Be proactive and persistent. Send a little something. If you live far from the caregiver, send flowers or a holiday card with a few words to let the person know you're thinking of him or her. Often it's the aging or sick relative who gets this kind of attention – and that's appropriate and great – but the caregiver will appreciate a singled-out nod. Bury the hatchet. Family grievances have a way of sprouting like weeds in the stress of watching a beloved family member decline. If you really want to thank a loved one for all he or she does in caregiving, forgive and forget some
sticking point between you – no matter who was at fault. Go classic. Thanksgiving is a nice time of year for small tokens like a massage certificate, some specialty tea or coffee, movie coupons, a restaurant or grocery store gift certificate. These work for hired caregivers as well, which brings us to… Thanking a paid caregiver…
Send really good food to a facility. Bringing treats to a nursing home or hos-pital is almost always welcomed by staff. But they don't really want or need more doughnuts, pizza, and cookies. Think seasonal and special: spiced nuts, pumpkin or cranberry muffins, a veggie tray, cheese and crackers, an edible flower-shaped fruit arrangement, spar-kling grape juice. Provide the feast. For a special aide, hospice nurse, or other helpers who have to work the holiday, consider putting together a basket of turkey-dinner fix-ings. They can take it home to prepare it another day. Or offer to fund (or pre-pare) a special staff luncheon for a facil-ity.
Offer a bonus. 'Tis the holiday season, and let's face it, hired caregivers are more valuable in terms of giving peace of mind and practical assistance than, say, your manicurist or dog groomer or others who crop up on annual lists of service people who deserve something extra over the holiday. (You may need to check what's permissible for people hired through agencies; some nurses and aides may accept no gifts while others have an amount ceiling.)
Make a donation in a helpful staffer's
name. A nice alternative where cash is verboten. Give to a pertinent organiza-tion (a local hospice or the Alzheimer's Association, for example). Key: Be sure to let the person's supervisor know.
Above all, say it. The bare minimum way to give thanks to a caregiver is actu-ally one that people in the business say they prize more than anything else: Hearing heartfelt "thanks." Write your gratitude down in a card or letter: "Because it's Thanksgiving, we’re giving
thanks that you have entered our lives to
help X. And so we wanted to be sure you
hear it directly: Thank You So Much for
everything you do."
And if there are a lot of somebodys on your support team? Write each and every one. Bulk cards are cheap, but the senti-ment is priceless
In 1994, the National Family Caregivers Association began promoting the cele-bration of family caregivers during the week of Thanksgiving. President Clin-ton signed the first presidential procla-mation in 1997 and every president since - Democrat and Republican alike - has issued an annual proclamation ap-preciating family caregivers. As interest grew in family caregiving issues, Na-tional Family Caregivers Week became
National Family Caregivers Month.
Day in and day out, more than 65 mil-lion family caregivers in this country fulfill a vital role on the care team. No one else is in a better position to ensure continuity of care. Family caregivers are the most familiar with their care recipients’ medicine regimen; they are the most knowledgeable about the treat-ment regimen; and they understand best
the dietary and exercise regimen.
NFCA coordinates National Family Caregivers Month as a time to thank, support, educate and empower family caregivers. Celebrating Family Caregiv-ers during NFC month enables all of us
to:
• Raise awareness of family caregiver issues
• Celebrate the efforts of family care-givers
• Educate family caregivers about self-identification
• Increase support for family caregiv-ers

HOMEBOUND
TRANSPORTATION:
Do you enjoy driving? Would you like to help homebound seniors get to their appointments? Volunteer drivers choose the trips that they are available to do - be it local or long distance trips. We offer mileage reimbursement to our volunteers to help defray expenses.
FRIENDLY VISITORS:
Visit homebound clients in their homes on a regular schedule to chat, play cards, discuss the news, etc. This program pro-vides companionship to clients who would otherwise be alone for great lengths of time.
HOME DELIVERED MEALS
NEW DURHAM ROUTE
We are looking for seven volunteers for the Town of Durham for a possible new Home Delivered Meals route for that area. Volunteers would be needed for each day of the week Monday - Friday, plus to provide additional coverage as needed. Meals would most likely be picked up at the Greenville Library at 12:30pm. A complete meal route takes less than one hour to deliver. If you are interested in volunteering for one of these positions or would like more information on the many more available, contact Ruth Pforte, Volun-teer Services Coordinator, at 719-3555 or toll-free (877)794-9266 or e-mail [email protected]
