US Special Committee on Aging

The United States Senate's Special Committee on Aging, currently chaired by Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), was established in 1961 as a temporary committee. It was granted permanent status in February, 1977. While special committees have no legislative authority, they can study issues, conduct oversight of programs, and investigate reports of fraud and waste. Note: Senior victims of fraud can report it to the Fraud Hotline.

The Special Committee on Aging has served as a focal point in the Senate for discussion and debate on matters relating to older Americans, and often submits its findings and recommendations for legislation to the Senate. The Committee additionally publishes materials of assistance to those interested in public policies which relate to the elderly.

For more information, visit the Committee's press releases page. It is a gold mine of legislative issue and hearing information, and resource links, plus: you can sign up for e-News; order publications; view the latest list of issues and press releases; get prescription assistance ... and more!

Information for SHINE - Fuel Assistance - SNAP Programs

Learn about resources that are available to you locally. COA Outreach Coordinator Audrey Allen can help you learn about available local resources and current happenings in our community.

SNAP (Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program) can be used to supplement your food budget costs. Money saved through SNAP could be used toward your medical costs. SNAP is income-based, but it is your income after shelter and medical expenses are deducted.

Home heating and energy assistance (a.k.a. Fuel Assistance) season runs from November 1st through April 30th and is available for eligible homeowners and renters, including households whose cost of heat is included in the rent (12 month assistance in that case). It pays directly to your primary heating source vendor, and automatically includes electric and telephone bill discounts if you are eligible, saving you money to use for medical or other expenses.

The SHINE Program (Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Everyone) provides free health insurance information, counseling and assistance to all Massachusetts residents with Medicare.

Newburyport - Ethel Josephine (Cowan) Jones, 94, of Newburyport, passed away Sunday, November 12, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late Howard T. Jones. She was born in New York City on June 21, 1929, and was the daughter of the late Thomas and Signe (Olauson) Cowan. Signe drowned when Ethel was 2-years-old. Her mother's sister, Olga, moved in with them to help raise Ethel who looked up to Olga (who the family called Mormor) as a mother. Ethel was raised in the Bronx and was a graduate of Walton High School in New York, class of 1947. She married Norman Gunnar Anderson on March 26, 1949. The family resided in West Hartford, CT where Susan was born. Norman died on June 3, 1952, of Lupus. Ethel then married Howard Trent Jones on June 19, 1954. The family resided in Connecticut where Casey was born. The family left Connecticut and moved to Pittsburgh, PA where Scott was born. Then to Brookfield, WI and then to Boxford, MA and back to Pittsburgh, PA. These moves were necessitated by Howard's job as an engineer for General Electric Company. Ethel and Howard eventually retired to Haverhill, MA to be near their children and grandchildren. Ethel loved family and worked hard to stay connected as she and Howard moved to different states and as her children grew up and moved away. She also loved sewing, quilting, braiding rugs, knitting, gardening, reading, and crossword puzzles. Ethel made afghans and quilts for all her children and grandchildren. She was an excellent cook and made taking care of the house look easy. She liked nothing better than to sit outside in the summer afternoon sun with a glass of iced tea and a good crossword puzzle. Ethel's favorite color was red because, as she said, it made her feel brave. Ethel also loved walking. She walked around the lake in North Park, PA (5 miles) 4 to 5 times per week. She also enjoyed swimming and was a member of the Sewickley Valley YMCA for many years, swimming laps twice per week. Ethel is survived by her children Susan Cronin and her husband Robert of Newburyport, MA, Casey Blais of Manchester, NH, and Scott Jones and his wife Corinne of Guadalupe as well as her grandchildren Faye Moyer, Benjamin Moyer and Kelly Blais, and her great granddaughter Scout Moyer. Her funeral service and interment will be held privately. Arrangements are under the direction of Brookside Chapel & Funeral Home, 116 Main St, Plaistow, NH. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Sewickley Valley YMCA, 625 Blackburn Rd, Sewickley, PA 15143 or at sewickleyymca.org.

Newburyport - He was born in Andover, MA as the first-born child of Harold and Fernande Wennik of Andover. Joe was an altar boy, excellent student, varsity athlete at Phillips Andover Academy and Yale University, from where he graduated with a degree in American Studies. He served in the U.S. States army for 4 years with a subsequent assignment on the German Hungarian Border during the Cold War. He then followed his dream and became an English teacher and coach at Holderness School in Plymouth, New Hampshire. At the same time, he studied for his MA in German Language and Literature at Middlebury College, earned a Fulbright Scholarship to the University of Mainz in Germany, and, eventually, taught German and pursued his PhD in Medieval German at the University of Virginia. In 1967, he joined Phillips Academy in Andover, and for 33 years, he contributed substantially as a teacher, coach, housemaster, administrator. During the eighties, Joe was appointed as athletic director and was responsible for building an environment that was equally supportive of boys and girls in athletics from facilities to coaching to staff development at the time when Phillips Academy went co-ed. He actively furthered better and meaningful relationships with the town through programs like The Andover Summer Soccer Camp together with public and technical school coaches. As educator and College Counselor and Director of Alumni Affairs he encouraged, guided, mentored, inspired and supported students, colleagues and alumni to do their best, seek greater challenges, succeed. Always, he was guided by his ultimate and most cherished belief: "It's all about the kids." At the same time, he and his wife, Inga Kühn, raised and educated their three sons, centered their personal lives around their families in America and Germany, traveled in the United States and Europe, and, ultimately, settled in the Newburyport, Massachusetts area for their retirement. Here, Joe became involved with leading and supporting adult education programs and teaching within them. As he did throughout his life, he brought knowledge, enthusiasm, expertise, kindness and generosity to these. Joe is survived by his wife of 62 years, his three sons, Stefan, Marten and Lukas Wennik and his five grandchildren, Zachary, Jakob, Lily, Matthew and Phoebe, a large and loving family in America and Germany, and many devoted friends. Funeral services will be private, but contributions in his name would be welcome at the Phillips Academy Financial Aid Fund or The Lyceum within the Newburyport Adult Education Program.
