Hot Hot Hot! Extreme Fire Danger

Posted on August 14, 2020 by Dick Shanahan

The next three days will be very warm! Here are a few things to keep in mind…

  1. Douglas Fire Protection Association has set the fire danger to Extreme! This is indicated by the red flag on the reader board near the Office.
  2. Our electrical loads will be strained with air conditioner use. Please! Do not try to run two air conditioners. Even without two air conditioners running, we may experience some circuit breaker failures. If this happens, call Rockey Shanahan at 503 508-1438. Randy will be available over the weekend and she will contact him to reset any failed breakers. Please do not attempt to reset these yourselves.
  3. Remember the Clubhouse is air conditioned. Wear masks, maintain social distances (6 feet).
  4. Stay hydrated, use sun screen if you have to be outside.

FREE!!!

Posted on July 30, 2020 by Jackie Deal

By Jackie Deal
FREE! The best word in the English language. Every Tuesday at St. Vincent De Paul’s Thrift Store you can get FREE food boxes. Why? How?
Well, it’s simple. Remember when farmers were dumping milk because there was no market with Covid restrictions? Now the Federal government has bought surplus farm products and is distributing them FREE to certified locations. NO charge. No forms. No restrictions. Just come into the store. The program helps the farmers and helps us.
The manager at St. Vinnies’ (Rodney Linton) ) goes at 6 am every Tuesday to Roseburg to pick up 60-100 boxes for Sutherlin. (For some reason the food truck doesn’t come to Sutherlin.) The 100 boxes are stacked by the door, covered with an insulated tarp; St. Vinnies does NOT have refrigeration so products need to be distributed that day.
Contents of the boxes vary; so far there have been two different choices. Last week included fresh garden produce and dairy products. This week was dairy and assorted. Get together with your neighbors and share a box: 30-40 pounds of dairy products is an awful lot. Potatoes and onions seem to be plentiful; we must have a lot of potato farmers! Ham and chicken have also appeared in dairy boxes.
Please be aware, delivery can be cancelled but so far the boxes have come every Tuesday. Help a farmer stay in business and eat better and cheaper (whoops, less expensively!)

Bored? Grumpy? Try This

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Jackie Deal

Getting older by the minute? Try something new. Try Chi Gong.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 10 am there’s plenty of room to “social distance” and still enjoy yourself exercising in the clubhouse. Unless you’ve found the Fountain of Youth (and haven’t shared it with the rest of us) you‘re getting stiffer, weaker, losing your balance etc. etc. All those blessing of age that we do share.

Chi Gong stresses deep breathing. Did you know that none of us use the full capacity of our lungs? Deep breathing may help prevent colds and pneumonia. We use five video tapes that present a different set of exercise targeting muscles and balance. Those of us who go South for six months find we lose balance and strength without Chi Gong. It’s a privilege to return and join friends as we struggle to regain our quickly slipping youth.

Chi Gong is gentle yet you’ll know you’ve exercised the next day. And before long you’ll see you can do things you couldn’t manage when you started. It’s called progress!

The cost is right. It’s free. It takes only 30-40 minutes of your 1440 minute day. You could enjoy and you would benefit. Come join us.
