Introducing the Senior Center’s New Program Assistant! HELLO! My name is Barry Wenaas and I am the newest member of the Oak Harbor Senior Center! I have accepted the position of Program Assistant and am ready for the challenge. I was born and raised in Coos Bay, Oregon, so I am a true Northwesterner. I married an Air Force Officer and began travels thru out the United States. I have always had a great love of the Pacific Northwest though and was so happy that I made the change to return in May of 2006. I purchased a 20 acre farm (what was I thinking!) where I have a beautiful view of the San Juan’s and daily can make sure the ferries travel on time. I have been an Emergency Room nurse and spent time in Oncology.
When I came to Whidbey Island I felt the need to know what was available and to learn all I could of what the Island had to offer. I joined Beach Watchers and discovered a passion for Deception State Park and the beauty of which it offered. Being raised on the Oregon Coast, I have a love of the water and the abundance of life which it offers. I’ve invested much time working to restore the beauty of the Rosario Tide Pools. I have also joined the board of Deception State Park Foundation.
I have worked at the Naval Hospital in Family Practice and also in the Tri Care Service Center until it was closed. I have had the privilege of working with volunteers of all ages; in the hospital setting, disaster settings and aviation education settings. I am actively involved in the community and will be the 2016-2017 President of Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor!
I am looking forward to expanding the events program with the center. There is so much potential for involving baby boomers, seniors and youth. I am open to new ideas and look forward to hearing from you. My contact number is 279 4582 and my email is bwenaas@ oakharbor.org
BUNCO!
The Oak Harbor Senior Center now has Bunco! Come join the fun. This is a wonderful group that has a blast! Mondays @ 1:00PM

HEALTH MATTERS 3 Surprising Health Benefits of Yoga for Older Adults By Juls Bower – SixtyAndMe.com If you still classify yoga as “that thing my daughter does to stretch and relax,” you may be surprised at how valuable of a role yoga can play in health care. Yoga for older adults can reduce symptoms and improve overall wellness for people with serious and/or chronic illnesses. DECREASE PAIN FROM ARTHRITIS AND OTHER CONDITIONS RELATED TO JOINT INFLAMMATION Yoga breathing practices enhance a sense of well-being and help eliminate stress which exacerbates joint pain. Tar-
geted yoga poses, chosen for you by a qualified yoga instructor aware of your specific areas of pain, can help strengthen the joints as well as making them more flexible. Also, yoga practice can also decrease the high levels of uric acid which contribute to gout. ENHANCE HEALTH FOR PATIENTS WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Yoga students are often pleasantly surprised to learn their blood pressure is lower after their first yoga class. As they develop a regular practice of yoga, their blood pres-
sure remains at lower levels in between classes. In addition, yoga helps patients who have undergone heart surgery cope with feelings of depression, stress, and anxiety. The connection between yoga and heart health has gained so much acceptance in the medical community that yoga is part of the Medicare-recognized Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease. Unlike traditional cardiac rehab programs, the Ornish program emphasizes four elements: • Stress management • Moderate exercise • Nutrition • Group support Yoga classes directly contribute to the first two of these components. Since hospitals can bill Medicare for the Ornish program, this offers a very accessible means for heart patients to use yoga to improve their health regardless of their income level. HELP WITH MANAGING TYPE 2 DIABETES In Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. This insulin-deficiency
is generally related to lifestyle and stress factors. Regular yoga practice can significantly reduce stress levels. Also, yoga practice can induce short-term improvements in fasting glucose and cholesterol levels. This effect occurs because yoga stimulates the organs which regulate metabolism. Many people do not realize specific yoga poses are designed not only to enhance limberness in certain muscles but to in effect massage our internal organs. A trained yoga instructor can help guide diabetic students to learn specific poses which directly benefit the pancreas. The Oak Harbor Senior Center offers yoga classes every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30AM. This class is taught by a fabulous instructor whom you will very much enjoy. If you are interested and new to yoga please feel free to stop by for a free class on us! Contact Janiece Black with any questions, (360) 279-4583

Bunko have arrived!
You won’t want to miss this opportunity for laughter, companionship and if you’re lucky a prize! Unlike poker or bridge, bunko is a game that can easily be mastered within minutes. It only requires one crucial skill: an ability to have fun!
Bunko is a game of pure luck, with no skill involved whatsoever. It is generally played with any group in multiples of four people. One table of four is designated the head table and controls the pace of the game, and players partner with the person sitting across from them. During each hand, players amass points for rolling a designated number on the three dice in play -- ones during the first hand, twos during the second hand, and so on. It’s so simple!

Putting heart into quality service "Before she died, Mom told us to contact Paul Kuzina at Whidbey Memorial Funeral and Cremation Service to make arrangements for her cremation and burial. She told me that Paul had helped her with Dad's funeral arrangements and sixteen years later she still remembered his competence and kindness. We were not prepared for our mother to pass away. The entire family was almost paralyzed by surprise and grief. But we had already talked to Paul per Mom's wishes, and he took care of her - and us. This wonderful man even came to her bedside to sing Ave Maria privately for her and later sang at her funeral mass! I hope you don't soon need the services of a funeral home, but when you do, you could not make a better choice than the caring director and staff at Whidbey Memorial Funeral and Cremation Service, Inc. The Hay family has made Paul Kuzina an honorary family member in recognition of the exceptional services he performed for us in a most difficult time." -Judith Crown (nee Hay)
