Although this film is based on Bernard Malamud’s novel, Director Barry Levinson gives us a happy ending. Be inspired. Come and once again (since 2016!) enjoy this 32 year old film.

ANTIQUE SLIDESHOW ON: Slideshow on American Imagery of Native Americans

On Thursday, March 29 at 1:00 pm Although most colonial cultures conveniently avoid

images of native peoples, in North America images of

Native Americans are so common we see them almost

every day. Visual images of Native Americans have

permeated American culture since the eighteenth cen-

tury. European settlers had complex, conflicting opin-

ions of the native peoples, and as the United States

evolved many of the contrasting views have continued

to be depicted in products and advertising we see

each day. Stimulated by a current exhibition at the

National Museum of the American Indian, we will

probe some of this imagery. The speaker will be an-

tiques writer Bob Jackman. While the talk will be orga-

nized around a sequence of 70 slides, the atmosphere

will be informal with questions and answers through-

out the presentation. Expect to learn a bit, share some

laughs, and have a good time. Admission is free but

please sign up as refreshments will be served.

MARILEE’S CLASSIC MOVIE CORNER On Wednesday, March 21 at 12:30 pm

“The Quiet Man“ (1952) 2 hr 9 min After accidentally

killing an opponent in the ring, boxer Sean Thornton

(John Wayne) leaves America and returns to his native

Ireland, hoping to buy his family's homestead and live

in peace. In doing so, he runs afoul of Will Danaher

(Victor McLaglen), who long coveted the property.

Spitefully, Will objects when his fiery sister, Mary Kate

(Maureen O'Hara), begins a romance with Sean, and

refuses to hand over her dowry. Mary Kate refuses to

consummate the marriage until Sean retrieves the

money. EASTER/SPRING CARD CLASS w/ CAROL

TRIAD “Preventing Tick-Borne Diseases” On Wednesday, March 14 at 1:00 pm

Don’t wait for ticks to bite you; take an active role in

protecting yourself! Since the discovery of Lyme dis-

ease around 1980, the incidence rates of tick-borne

diseases have been on a steep incline throughout the

world. The risks of contracting any of several diseases

in Plymouth County rank among the highest in the

country. Lyme disease alone is already over 13 times

higher at home than the national average. The good

news is that proper education on prevention goes a

long way. Studies have proven that people who are

taught the proper tools and techniques drastically re-

duce their risks of contracting any tick-borne disease.

With the right knowledge and tools, all tick-borne dis-

eases are preventable.

Come join Blake Dinius, Plymouth County entomology

educator. Together, we will review basic tick biology,

scientifically proven protection methods, and bust any

commonly held myths. Sign up at the front desk.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS

SENIOR INTEREST STUDY

In partnership with the Town of Marsh-field Council on Aging (COA), research-ers from the Gerontology Institute at

the University of Massachusetts Boston are conducting a study of the needs and interests of Marshfield’s pop-ulation aged 50 and older. Older adults already repre-sent a large share of Marshfield’s population, and pro-jections indicate that numbers will increase in the fu-ture. In fact, by 2030, at least 8,000 residents will be age 60 or older, representing over one-third of Marsh-field's total population. The COA intends for this study to inform their planning for programs and services meant to address the evolving needs and interests of Marshfield’s older residents.

For this project to be successful, we need your help! We want to learn from you about how the programs and services already available through the Marshfield Council on Aging Senior Center can be made even bet-ter. During the week of March 5th, 2018, question-naires will be available at the Marshfield Council on Aging Senior Center. We want to hear from you about the activities you most enjoy, and also the programs and services that are not available but that would be a benefit to you and your families. Please stop by the Senior Center and fill out a questionnaire.

The information obtained through this survey will be combined with other data sources collected for this study and compiled into a report by the UMass team. We expect that the report will be completed in April. Study findings will be shared with interested residents at an event planned for spring or early summer.

cess. The AARP Foundation has determined that cer-

tain tax returns are “Out Of Scope.” Some of these

include: rental property income, advanced K-1 forms,

business income and expenses (other than very basic

ones), and complicated or lengthy brokerage transac-

tion lists, or brokerage transactions with missing de-

tails.

- Every tax return will be reviewed for quality assur-

ance. The tax counselor will explain the finished tax

return. Copies of the tax return will be printed and all

documents will be assembled into a set and placed

into a Tax-Aide envelope for safe keeping by the tax-

payer. Be sure to bring your checkbook if you would

like your refund to be directly deposited to your bank

account. - TAX QUESTIONS ONLY: If you only have questions

and do not need to have an income tax return pre-

pared, please feel free to walk in and ask your ques-

tion. No appointment is necessary for questions.

you with questions on Medicare and health insurance

options including supplemental plans, claims pro-

cessing, billing, home health care, durable equipment

needs and public benefits. Even with insurance, pre-

scription drugs can still be unaffordable! High co-

payments and gaps in coverage can make paying for

prescription drugs very difficult. This is where Prescrip-

tion Advantage can help. Prescription Advantage is a

state-sponsored pharmacy assistance program availa-

ble to Massachusetts residents age 65 & over and un-

der 65 with disabilities. Prescription Advantage does

not replace your insurance; it supplements your cover-

age to help lower your out-of-pocket costs.
