Welcome
These meetings will assist in determining the need in these communities for the many services offered through the Area Agency on Aging which include the following:
Watch for Community Meeting Announcements I have been asked by a number of local residents to please dispel the rumors about the Senior Center and the Area Agency on Aging . Many think one or both of us have been disbanded, but that is far from the truth.
Information Assistance Outreach Transportation Medical Transportation Congregate Meals Home Delivered Meals Marc Kane, Center Director
During the last year the State of Oregon has instructed our Agency to restructure in a manner that would separate the functions of the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) from the Senior Center. The Klamath Basin Senior Citizens’ Council (KBSCC) has been the designated District 11 (Klamath and Lake Counties) AAA agency for many years and its primary function is to assess needs of area seniors and distribute funds from government funding sources to meet those needs. A recipient of those funds would be Senior Centers in both Klamath and Lake Counties where services are provided. In order to avoid a conflict of interest in this process KBSCC is now divided into two divisions, the AAA and the Senior center, each with a separate Executive Director employed part time. There are separate board meetings for each function and a new office for the AAA has been established in downtown Klamath Falls. This mandated action has been accomplished with very little, if any, extra expense. These two divisions function under the umbrella of the original corporation, Klamath Basin Senior Citizen’s Council. The District 11 AAA Office is currently conducting community meetings throughout the district in each of the following communities: Klamath Falls Chiloquin Bonanza Keno Merrill Malin LaPine
Chemult Gilchrist Crescent Beatty Bly Sprague River Lakeview
Paisley Summer Lake Christmas Valley Silver Lake Fort Rock Adel New Pine Creek
Legal Assistance Counseling Oregon Project Independence Chore and Friendly Visitors Program
Elder Abuse Prevention Family Caregiver Support Program SHIBA Med. Ins. Counseling
Many of these services cannot be fully funded and require communities to come together to share expenses and provide volunteers. These community meetings are essential to not only assessing needs, but also each community’s capacity to develop programs with the limited funds that are available. Please watch for local announcements about these meetings. The local senior center here in Klamath Falls provides a number of the services listed above both here in Klamath Falls and in a number of satellite locations throughout Klamath County. It has been struggling to keep pace with significant increases in demand for services and community matching funds have not been able to keep up with the demand. This year the center will be asking the County, City, United Way and many others to match funds that come to us through the AAA. The need is greatest with our meals and transportation programs. We collaborate whenever possible. As an example the local Food Bank has contributed much to reducing our food supply costs by providing stock from their shelves. The senior center isn’t just about meals. Many of the services listed above are provided there, but most importantly it is a place for individuals to find companionship and to maintain a sense of connectedness and attachment. As we grow older and we find our friends and family passing on this is critical to our personal well being. The center also provides dances, music, bingo, social games, library resources, computer access, exercise classes and much more. Local citizens may make individual contributions as well, and many have. Please note the contributions donor list that we will be publishing every month. Many thanks to all who have contributed. Join us! We celebrate Life! Marc Kane Executive Director, Klamath Basin Senior Citizens’ Center

Rocky Hillside I climbed the rocky hillside where the pines are very few, Just off the hidden forest lane in scattered groups they grew. The soil was thin and rare between emerging barren stone; Each tree had barely room enough to spread its roots alone.
Laugh A Little Bit!
The altitude was high, and so the trees were very small; No forest giants could tolerate the dearth from spring to fall. Each little pine, each little group, was perfect in its way, And snows of winter cover them, and shield them through each day. Between the trees, the grasses grew, and swayed in every breeze; Grass covered every crack and hole among the lovely trees. And flowers grew between the pines in every cleft and nook, Wherever soil began to form and that was all it took. A lovely hillside in the sun, a wonder to behold; Surely the Creator’s love, this hillside does enfold. And in a sacred place like this, in nature’s holy realm, No church or chapel equals this, a perfect hillside home. No matter where you wander, and wherever you may roam, Look closely for the beauty where Creation gathers loam. For any glade, and any wood, and any stream can be A grand cathedral, holy land, and blessed in memory.
When the day starts wrong, cause you didn’t sleep well, And the coffee you made could almost melt nails When you burned the toast, and the eggs weren’t done . . You have a terrible feeling, everything else will fail!! But just quiet down and take a minute or two – Just go find a chair – and sit. Think of all the good things you have in life… And then – laugh a little bit! The sun doesn’t shine every day of our lives, Sometimes burdens come, and we are hard hit. But no matter how bad we may think they are, Burdens lighten – when you laugh a bit! You can’t frown and laugh at the same time, The two just don’t go together. So, next time when your day starts wrong – And you don’t know how far you will get... Just tell yourself, the day will soon be over, Another new day coming, so laugh a little bit! (OR A LOT! it’s GOOD FOR YOU!)
Audrey E. Davis
Robert G. Black, February 29, 2008
Many Faces Of Joy - Audrey E. Davis The sun comes up, the day begins. We can make of the time what we will. The streams flow easily through the mountain side, The branches on the trees are still. The flowers stretch their beauty high, and there is joy in watching time pass by. A child is born and begins to grow, They look at you and instinctly you know... Their love is real and full of grace... From the smile on their lips, the joy in their face!
There is knowing that God is real. That Jesus is alive, and we know is still. Because of this, we can show love and patience too, Faith and understanding can be ours to give – As we show Jesus’ love for you. To have a friend that we hold dear, Who stands with us year after year, Who sees only the good in each of us – Never looking for the bad, Will take our hand, walk the extra mile, And knows when we are sad! These are the faces of joy I see, There is joy in life – for you and me!

Join National Healthcare Decisions Day…Because Your Decisions Matter
Please help us make history, again. April 16, 2012, will be the fifth annual National Healthcare Decisions Day. The inaugural event, which was formally recognized by Congress and numerous state and local governments, included participation by 76 of the most prominent national healthcare, religious, and legal associations and organizations. By the second year, over 700 local and state organizations throughout the country also participated. At every level, the goal of this nationwide initiative is to ensure that all adults with decisionmaking capacity in America have both the information and the opportunity to communicate and document their future healthcare decisions. The first years’ results were impressive—over 750,000 people obtained resources to make their healthcare decisions known—but there remain millions of Americans to go. While making healthcare decisions is often difficult in the best of circumstances, making decisions for others is even more complicated. Each of us has the ability to guide our healthcare providers and our loved ones about what we want. Advance directives give you the ability to document the types of healthcare you do and do not want, and to name an “agent” to speak for you if you cannot speak for yourself. As Terri Schiavo’s situation vividly revealed, having an advance directive can be valuable for all adults, regardless of current age or health status. With the Patient SelfDetermination Act of 1990,
Congress affirmed the right of every citizen to set forth his or her future healthcare wishes in writing with an “advance directive.” Yet, various estimates suggest that only about 25% of all Americans have done so. Because advance directives can be created without a lawyer, for free, and relatively easily, this figure is astonishingly low. In recognition of this, National Healthcare Decisions Day strives to provide much-needed information to the public, reduce the number of tragedies that occur when a person’s wishes are unknown, and improve the ability of healthcare facilities and providers to offer informed and thoughtful guidance about advance healthcare planning to their patients. Please visit www.nationalhealthcaredecisionsday.org for a variety of free information (including free advance directives forms for every state) and tools to assist with thoughtful reflection on healthcare choices and ideas on how to get involved. Additionally, watch for events honoring National Healthcare Decisions Day. Finally, please share this information with your loved ones and colleagues. With healthcare, “your decisions matter,” however, others need to know your wishes to honor them. There are no wrong answers when thinking about healthcare choices and completing an advance directive. Please use April 16, 2012, to decide, discuss, and document your wishes, whatever they may be.

Feature Lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease Are you tired of hearing about all these exercise studies, ad nauseam? More importantly, does learning about them change your behavior? Here’s another study that might motivate you to do get moving. In a February report in “Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,” University of Missouri exercise physiologists conducted a study to determine whether physical languor (lethargy) in active exercisers produced changes in their blood sugar levels. Active, sedentary During the study (three days of regular, active behavior and three days of sedentary behavior), the participants wore glucose monitoring devices that measured blood sugar levels continuously. Pedometers and activity-measuring armbands tracked how many steps the participants took. They kept detailed food diaries. The participants lived normally for three days, walking and exercising as usual. Note, the group consisted of significant exercisers easily completing anywhere between 10,000 to 13,000 steps daily during the three days. Their blood sugar levels did not spike even after meals during this period of time. During the second portion of the experiment, the participants were asked to cut their activity substantially (some even took bed rest), decrease their step count, take elevators, not stairs, have lunch delivered to

them and average about three minutes per day in exercise. They ate the same meals and snacks so that any changes in blood sugar levels didn’t result from eating fattier or sweeter meals. Blood sugar levels You guessed it. There were changes. Their blood sugar levels spiked after meals with peaks increasing about 26 percent. The peaks grew slightly over the three-day period. These spikes are naturally occurring in sedentary people since the muscles need less fuel and so draw less sugar from the blood. Bear in mind cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in people with diabetes. In fact, people with type 2 diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease and stroke than people without the disease. What will you choose — putting yourself at greater risk of heart disease and diabetes, or holding them at bay? Find ways to move your body, even if in small doses of 10 minutes at a time. If you are a regular exerciser, don’t worry about the days you aren’t able to exercise because the body easily adapts when you can start up again. It is the extended period of time that wreaks havoc on those who are sedentary. Reaching 10,000 steps per day can be challenging, but it is an achievable goal to work toward. Consider purchasing a pedometer. They come in many varieties and levels of complexity.
I use a Yamax “Step into Health” SW-200 — a very basic pedometer that works well for me. It costs around $20. Local retailers offer pedometers in a range of prices — from $15 to $250. Each pedometer brand offers a variety of functionality. Take a look at “Before You Buy a Pedometer” at http://walking. about.com/cs/measure/bb/ bybpedometer.htm. Compare pedometers at www.consumersearch.com/ pedometers. It is fun to see how you do with a pedometer and equally challenging to get in those 10,000 steps. Give it a try!
