September 2017
Hello friends, Here comes fall! September is national Healthy Aging month, an annual celebration designed to focus attention on the positive aspects of growing older and encourage Americans over the age of 50 to take personal responsibility for their health. We have several new activities and classes planned to celebrate the month—read on to learn more and make sure to sign up early to save your spot! We are also saying goodbye (sort of) to Karen Krettler, who has served in our kitchen as an as-sistant cook and sub for almost 10 years. I say “sort of”, because Karen has agreed to continue volunteering with us –we hope she’ll keep planting those wonderful tomatoes as well! Her last “official” day will be August 28th, so please make sure to come in for lunch to wish her well! See you at the Center—Kathy

Government watchdogs say consumers are reporting a new version of the long-standing government impos-tor scam in which crooks pretend to be from the Na-tional Institutes of Health (NIH).
“According to reports, callers are telling people they’ve been selected to receive a $14,000 grant from NIH,” the Federal Trade Commission reported on its website. “To get it, though, callers tell people to pay a fee through an iTunes or Green Dot card, or by giving their bank account number.”
NIH does dispense grant money to researchers who apply for it to serve a public purpose. But Uncle Sam does not call people out of the blue to give them grants, and the money isn’t for per-sonal use, officials say.
“If you get a call like this from someone asking you to pay money to get money, stop. Hang up the phone,” the FTC advises. “Also, the fed-eral government will never call you, demanding that you give your personal or finan-cial information — like your bank account or Social Se-curity number.”
Red flags include requests for people to wire money or use prepaid cards to pay someone. The government does not ask people to pay in those ways.
Consumers who sent money to an NIH impostor are urged to get in touch immediately with whatever service they used to pay — a bank, MoneyGram, Western Union or iTunes — and to report the fraud to the FTC(Federal Trade Commission). “You might not get your money back, but you certainly won’t if you don’t report it,” the agency says.
Tips for Reinventing Yourself—September is Healthy Aging
® Month:
Do not act your age or at least what you think your current age should act like. What was your best year so far? 28? 40? Now? Picture yourself at that age and be it. Be positive in your conversations and your ac-tions every day. When you catch yourself complaining, check yourself right there and change the conversation to something positive. (Tip: Stop watching the police reports on the local news.) Have negative friends who complain all of the time and constantly talk about how awful everything is? Surround yourself with ener-getic, happy, positive people of all ages and you will be happier too. (Tip: Smile of-ten. It’s contagious and wards off naysayers.) Walk like a vibrant, healthy person. Analyze your gait. Do you walk slowly because you have just become lazy or, perhaps, have a fear of falling? (Tip: Make a con-scious effort to take big strides, walk with your heel
first, and wear comfortable shoes.) Stand up straight! You can knock off the appearance of a few extra years with this trick your mother kept trying to tell you. Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you holding your stomach in, have your shoulders back, chin up? Fix your stance and practice it every day, all day until it is natural. You will look great and feel better. (Tip: Your waistline will look trimmer if you follow this advice.) How’s your smile? Re-search shows people who smile more often are happi-er. Your teeth are just as important to your good health as the rest of your body. Not only is it the first thing people notice, but good oral health is a gateway to your overall well-being. Lonely? Pick up the phone and make a call to do one or more of the following: Volun-teer your time, take a class, invite someone to meet for lunch, brunch, din-ner, or coffee.
Try something new this month!!
Beware of callers who claim you’ve been
selected for federal grant money
Board Applicant Summaries

Our Annual General Meeting is Wednesday, September 13th, following lunch service in our dining room. All members and guests are invited to attend the meeting. CAC members will have the opportunity to vote for three board members as three board positions will need to be filled. All board applicants have been asked to complete a board member application and so we are includ-ing below a small bio on each applicant. You are invited to become familiar with each board applicant listed below. These board applicants will also be given the opportunity to say a few brief words at our annual gen-eral meeting. We hope you will take a moment to read the information on each applicant below. We have a nine member board who serve a three-year term. Each board member is committed to serving on the board in a volunteer capacity, however, they have a serious commitment to helping guide and direct the future of the Canby Adult Center!
Mary Bosch (current Board member, running for second term): . Mary co-owned a restaurant in central Oregon for 12 years, and also worked as an educational assistant for Jefferson County school district. She has served on the Metolius planning commission, budget committee and city council. She has extensive volunteer experience with Girl Scouts, the Elks club and South Lincoln County Seniors, to name a few. She is a Master Gardener and a Master Preserver, and reg-ularly serves in a variety of volunteer capacities at the Adult Center.
Brenda Mootz: Brenda has lived in Canby almost all of her life; she has extensive family connections here. She worked for the Canby School District in its personnel office for many years, and has been active with the Canby Booster Club and Canby Kids Association. Since retiring, she volunteers at the Kiwanis Thrift Shop, at the Methodist church pie booth at the county fair and at the Canby Adult Center in several capacities. She describes herself as a “people person” who has worked with computers for many years.
Laura Sattler: Laura has owned her own design business for 49 years, with many completed home design and remodel projects in the Canby area. Laura’s volunteer and non-profit experience is extensive – she has given her time to the Clackamas County Arts Alliance, the Canby Educational Foundation, the Canby Library Art Advisory Council and the Canby Main Street Design committee, among others. She served as the president of the Canby Arts Association for six years, and is looking to become more involved with the Center.
Ruth Howard: Prior to joining the Canby ReMax real estate team in 2017, Ruth served the Hope Village community for 3 ½ years as the marketing coordinator. She was responsible for community outreach, marketing, event planning, home leasing and renovations and contract management. Ruth was an active collaborator with the Adult Center during her time at Hope Village. She has volunteered in Canby classrooms and PTA art literacy programs, with her church and at Camp Tapawingo. She enjoys working with the older adult community and is looking for an opportunity to serve.
Joyce Peters: Joyce has a background in drafting and quality control; she worked for the City of Canby for many years until her retirement; she has strong knowledge of the workings of City government. Joyce has served in various Board and committee positions with the Cascade Harmony Chorus, and volunteers both at the Canby Library and at the Adult Center, where she serves as a MOW driver. She is also very involved with the Center’s line dancing group, and hopes to find other ways to get involved.
Also at this time we would like to say a big thank-you to our current Board AND all volunteers! Join us at our Volunteer Appreciation Celebration—September 16th!

About our Board
Canby Adult Center has a 9-member Board of
Directors.
Each September, at our Annual Meeting, three new Board Members are elected to serve a three year term.
Thanks to our Board!
Excerpts from Board Meeting Minutes from August 9, 2017 Board meeting
Directors Present: David May, Debbie Jewell, Johni Thayer, Bob Sheveland, Bill Reif, Jim Davis and Mary Bosch Directors Excused: Nicki Harold and Mark Adams Staff Present: Kathy Robinson Guests present: Judy Hogland The meeting was called to order by acting Chair, David May and it was established that we had a quorum present. The Chair asked for approval of the minutes from the June 14, 2017 board meeting. The Board unanimously approved minutes. Director’s Report: Kathy advised that her hope is that staff can be trained to take on a num-ber of the client evidence based programs the county is offering. Once trained, the center would receive a $50 reimbursement per each class held, up to annual limits. The Center was used as a cooling center during the hot weather. They were recognized at the Chamber August lunch for doing so and will be available as needed in the future. The volunteer appreciation open house will be held September 16th and will be similar to last year’s event. The budget that was approved requires an investment draw of $313,000, which is $20,000 more than last year. $15,000 of this will be used for new dining room furniture and the re-mainder was allotted for the increase in Jeanne’s hours.
Investment report: Bob reviewed his report which included the quarterly investment man-agement fee. Everything is looking good, and Quest is meeting our investment allocation requirements. The investment committee approved using an on line COL calculation tool from the US Dept. of labor to determine the COL adjustment for the fund. A motion was made and unanimously approved for the board to use this method. The nominating committee reviewed the recommended new voting procedure to allow voting to begin the morning of the Annual meeting and run midway through the meeting. The motion was unanimously approved. It is our hope this will increase voter participation. We have about 5 applicants whose profiles will be included in the September newsletter. Dave May has a desire to reduce the paperwork provided at the monthly Board meetings. He will work with Mark and Kathy to create a proposal to be presented at the next meeting. Jim reviewed discussions the city and the Parks and Recreation committee are having in regard to growth, boundaries, maintenance fees and the future of Canby’s parks. It is possi-ble the city may want to purchase the land the center is on from the school district to en-hance the pool, the Adult Center and a recreation facility. Jim encouraged Kathy to follow up with Trip and Rick to schedule another meeting as a follow up the earlier one with Trip. Kathy will reach out to them to schedule a follow up discussion. The meeting adjourned at 1:55pm. The next meeting is September 13 following lunch ser-vice. Members and guests are encouraged to attend.

Donations Accepted Here:
From Bags to Blessings Don’t know what to do with those plastic bags that you get from the grocery store? Do you know that those plastic bags take decades to decompose in landfills? Bring your plastic bags in to the Center be turned into blessings for the veterans! Bring them in and our handy crafters will use them to make blessings for homeless veterans! The handy crafters will be working to make three-by-six-foot sleeping mats for homeless veterans in Clackamas County. The mats will be donated to Fort Kenne-dy, a non-profit outreach for veterans in Clackamas County. Look for the *Bags to Blessings* bin to deposit your bags in and turn those bags into blessings! And… the handy crafters could use some help preparing the bags! If you don’t crochet but would like to help, join us on Tuesdays at 10:00. People are needed to cut the strips and roll them into balls for the crafters to make into mats.
Walk with Ease!!!
We’re thrilled to be able to offer this new, evidence-based program!

participation is critical to achieving full benefits. Walk with Ease will help you:
* Motivate yourself to get in great shape * Walk safely and comfortably * Improve your flexibility, strength and stamina * Reduce pain and feel great The class is free, but advance sign-ups are required. Please dress com-

Clogging class open to new dancers during the
month of September! Great News!! During the four Tuesdays in September (5th, 12th, 19th and 26th) the clogging class is accepting new dancers! Each Tuesday, from noon until 12:50 pm, Ann Skoe teaches clogging — which is actually Appalachian dancing! Appalachian dancing is a form of folk dancing developed in the Appalachian Mountains of North America, where it is still popular today. In practice, Appalachian dancing looks something like a cross between Irish dance, and traditional English dance. However it is much more free flowing than Irish dance, but uses similarly intri-cate steps. Anne is accepting new students during the month of September. No fee for this class and no sign-up is required. No special shoes are needed for introduction to the class, but special shoes (similar to “tap shoes”) can eventually be used. If you have questions, check with Ann on a Tuesday in September! Instructor: Ann Skoe
Memoir Writing—Sharing
Greetings from your Canby Adult Center Memoir Writing Group! Why do we bother to write our memoirs? Not every family member will be interested, but many will as the years pass. We write, also, because it is therapeutic for us; it releases feelings and commands that we search our memory. I also discovered yet another reason just the other day and that is, “I enjoyed reading some of my past writings myself. It is better than a photo album for remembering names and past events and people in my life.” Our stories we write are true to the best of our memory. Have you considered writing some stories about yourself and family, but it just didn’t happen? Our class could be just the prompt to get you started. Everyone has stories, yes, even you. All are welcome Thursdays, 10 am to 12. Hope to see you there! — Barbara Nuxall Isom

“The Almighty Search for a Beach House” Wanderlust had over-taken our lives again as my husband and I decided to live at the beach and watch the waves thrash upon the shore line to our hearts content! He loved to fish in deep waters and I was content just walking along the wet sand with my dogs, feeling the sun on my back. We made several day-trips on our own to the coast just ferreting out towns with their attractions and decided on Lincoln City, Ore-gon. I had received a small inheritance upon my mother’s death so we decided to invest that money in a small comfortable home down there and sell our big house in the valley to pay it off. I had a good friend from the telephone company who had gone into real estate after retirement and he listed our home and said he would work to find us a place in Lincoln City. Every four or five days he would put together some listings for the coast and the 3 of us would spend some time looking at these fine dwell-ings. Most of the time it would end in a “drive-by”. “NOPE, I don’t like that house, it’s too close to the road” or “the whole thing is about ready to fall in...Just drive on!” One particular trip stands out in my mind vividly though. My friend said, “let’s go to Dory Cove for lunch. There’s a house at Road’s End I want you to look at.” After wolfing down some fine fish and chips we headed up this road to some nice homes with spectacular views if you weren’t in the last stages of macular degeneration! The ocean could be seen and heard, but it sure wasn’t within walking distance. We saw a lot of realtor signs on the way to this house and won-dered if the hillside was slipping or some other natural event was taking place silently and scaring people into selling. No one answered the door, but since we had made an advanced ap-pointment we entered the swelling and walked through a mouse- maze of rooms commenting about un-made beds, dirty dishes in the sink and lots of dirty laundry left on bathroom floors. After a while my husband had seen enough and was through climbing steps he said and called a halt to this sorry appoint-ment. By then we were in the front room by this giant stone fire-place when our realtor gasped and said, “Oh my God, we’re in the wrong house! The house I made the appointment for was a one story! What’s the matter with me?” Well, I began to wonder too! He grabbed up his business card and we left that house so fast we must have left skid marks on the floor. We were all in a state of panic that the police sirens would be pulling us over any mi-nute for breaking and entering. All I remember is entering Hwy 101 and heading for Salem and the valley. Year later the three of us would recall this day and laugh our heads off! My friend, the realtor, finally found us a VACANT house to buy on Devil’s Lake Road, that was another rehab for us. The bones of the house were good and solid, but it was in a “time warp”. Most of it was cosmetic and lots of fun to re-do and make it into our own little nest at the seashore where I walked on the sand DAILY...RAIN OR SHINE. By Gloria R.
A Weekend Tornado By Terry Sue M. Hal, my husband, said not to bother with breakfast until later. He had gotten up this morning to tend to our sum-mer garden. The girls, Kris and Cindy were getting Goldy their horse ready for a swim at the river, and I was planting petunias in the planter boxes on the front porch to welcome visitors. Suddenly Hal came running around the house to see if we were all okay. He yelled, “Get in the house, I think it is a tornado, we are all in danger, HUSTLE!” I have never seen anyone move so fast! Even the dogs managed to find a safe place in the house, under the piano. Off in the distance we heard what sounded like a freight train coming our way. Hal said, “Our house is very secure so we’ll just ride the storm out, just see what we can see.” We looked at each other, “How could we have such a storm?” All of us were frozen at first. The sound grew louder and louder. At the storm’s height we could see many things being thrown by the wind. A child’s bike bouncing down the driveway head-ed out to the street, to get caught by a tangle of bushes. Then there was a crash into the kitchen window that sprayed small shards of glass, just missing the dogs! After about an hour the sound subsided and seemed to come to a complete stop. Everyone was completely exhausted. Hal and I looked at each other, silently agreeing to go outside and take stock of the damage. First, we wanted to assess any damage to the house. Thankfully there was none. But the woodshed roof had been torn off and thrown into the creek and the cement blocks under it were displaced. The stock was doing fine in the field but wondering what had happened to them! The worst destruction was a huge redwood tree that had been pulled out by its roots and lay across the highway. A Weekend Tornado!
