Executive Director’s Report
STATE BUILDING COMMUNITIES FUND
RECOMMENDS $2.25M FOR
NEW WATERFRONT CENTER
We recently received a letter of congratulations
from the State’s Building Communities Fund for
a $2.25M (the amount we requested) grant to
become part of the Governor’s 2017-19 Capital
Budget. The letter was dated September 28th,
which happens to be my birthday. It was the best
of birthday presents. The letter states it is not a
guarantee of funding as it still needs to go through
the legislative process, but it is a very good sign.
Over the last decade all of the grants that have
gone through this rigorous competitive process administered by the Department of Commerce have had a high degree of priority in the State’s capital
budget. This grant is in addition to the direct appropriation of $1.25M in the
2015-17 biennium, for which Senator Maralyn Chase was our champion. We
have three other grant applications being considered and should know about
all of these before Christmas. The successful State application makes all of
the other grants more likely as the concern of every funder is whether we can
raise the whole amount necessary to build the new Center. Thus, the more we
raise, the easier it is to raise the remainder.
PARKING PROJECT WITH EDMONDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PROJECT MANAGEMENT STUDENTS
This fall two classes from the Project Management Program at Edmonds
Community College will be working with the Senior Center to produce a
report and recommendations for ways to ease our parking issues, both in
the present and future when the new Center is completed. We started with
the idea of a ride share program, which is something we can control but the
project has expanded in its approach. The students will be interacting with
seniors and staff, both in the building and in the parking lot. Please be sure to
welcome them and let them know about the parking issues you face and any
suggestions you have for improving the situation. Two years ago the EdCC
project management students did five studies that we have made good use of.
GREAT TIME TO TRY THE BASTYR NATUROPATHIC CLINIC
– SHORT WAITING LIST
This is a great time to try out our Bastyr Naturopathic Clinic as its waiting
lists are quite short and they are accepting new patients. The Clinic operates
all day on Wednesdays with morning and afternoon sections. Your first appointment will take 1.5 hours, as an extensive medical history is taken. Much
of the time is with senior naturopathic students. For the students, this is their
internship. During every visit the faculty supervisor, a registered naturopathic
physician, will examine and speak with you. If any supplements or vitamins
are prescribed, these are available at no cost from the small dispensary that
Bastyr maintains here. Because Bastyr uses only the highest quality products,
the savings can be significant. Medicare does not cover naturopathic medicine, so the fact that the services are available for such a minimal charge is important. The $15 admin fee is just that, it covers our administrative expenses.
It can be waived if the cost would prevent anyone from using the service. At
this point in our relationship with Bastyr University, they are not charging
us for the service as it is a great site for their senior students to gain practice
experience. One more note – the Clinic is open to anyone, regardless of age.
Our youngest patient to date has been five years old.
2017 MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL – WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Enclosed with this bulletin is a 2017 membership form. I hope all of you
renew your membership and encourage others to become members. 2017
is an important year for the Center and we need your support. Our capital
campaign for the Edmonds Waterfront Center on this magnificent site enters
a crucial phase. At this point it is looking quite positive. In addition to the
campaign, we will continue to offer a first rate program of activities and services which we are always looking to improve. The Senior Center, a 501(c)3
non-profit organization, is responsible for raising 80% of its $650,000 budget.
Membership dues (nearly $42,000 in 2016 – our best ever) are part of how we
do this. The benefits of membership include the bi-monthly bulletin mailed
to you, discounts on trips, events and classes, and a coupon for a free Community Breakfast. Both my wife and I are renewing our memberships – I
hope you will too. If every member brought in just one new member, our
membership would double. The impact on the Center would be profound. I
promise to do so – I hope you will too.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS
Please contact Jen English in the Admin Office if you are interested in volunteering at EdSC
“Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation’s compassion, unselfish caring,
patience, and just plain love for one another.” —Erma Bombeck
At Edmonds Senior Center we are blessed with wonderful volunteers. They make a difference and help to make our outreach to
our senior vibrant. Without our volunteers, the time they dedicate, and the lives they touch, we would all be poorer.

A message from AARP Washington and the Washington State Attorney General’s Office
The Grandparent Scam
You get a frantic call from someone claiming to be your grandson or granddaughter. The caller says there’s an emergency and asks you to
send money right away. But there’s a good chance this is an imposter trying to steal your money through the “grandparent scam.”
How it Works:
Scammers usually claim to be in a “help me” situation, such as being stuck with a broken down car or needing money to get somewhere.
The caller may pose as your grandchild, or a law enforcement officer or attorney calling on your grandchild’s behalf; whatever it takes to
sound convincing.
What You Should Know:
•
These scams often happen in the middle of the night, to catch you while you’re not fully awake, making it easier to get you in a
high state of emotion and more susceptible. It’s what con artists refer to as getting victims “under the ether.”
•
The caller may have personal information such as family member’s names that they could have picked up on social media sites.
•
The caller will likely ask that you send the money by wire transfer – the favorite method of con artists.
What You Should Do:
•
Try to reach the person the caller is claiming to be directly. If you can’t reach him or her, contact a friend or family member to try
and validate the emergency.
•
Ask some questions that would be hard for an imposter to answer, like a pet’s name or a mother’s birthday.
•
Don’t send money unless you’re sure the situation is real.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of identity theft or fraud, you can contact the AARP Foundation Fraud Fighter
Center at 1-800-646-2283 for help. You can also file a consumer complaint with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office.

What’s So Important About Edmonds Marsh?
FREE
Mon, Nov 14, 1:00-3:00pm. Library
Facilitator: Keeley O’Connell, Nature InSight Consulting
Sign up: at the Front Desk
Edmonds Marsh, as we see it today, is a 28 acre remnant of
what was once a 100 acre salt marsh estuary that stretched
from Brackett’s Landing south to Marina Beach Park. Marshes
like this used to be very common, but as we look up and down
our Puget Sound shoreline we see most of them have been
completely lost over time. Edmonds Marsh is now the largest
salt-water marsh between Everett and Tacoma- a very rare gem
indeed! Keeley O’Connell has been working with the City for
six years to reconnect the Marsh to Puget Sound with a creek
that will allow salmon back into the system. Restoring the
marsh will support salmon recovery in our State, and also has
a huge positive impact on our community. Keeley will lead a
discussion about how marsh restoration improves community
health, safety and well-being, all while bringing a valuable user
group back to Edmonds- our native salmon.

Edmonds Senior Center EnhanceWellness Team
Sign Up: at the Front Desk
While most Americans say they would prefer to live through the
end of their lives at home, surrounded by friends and family, the
reality is the exact opposite. Studies show that when people age
65 and older plan in advance with their doctors they are much
more satisfied about their preferences for care through the end
of their lives. Learn how your values and beliefs can guide your
personal choices regarding medical care, how to select the best
person to speak for you in the event that you are unable to speak
for yourself, what life sustaining treatments may be offered to
you at the end of life and the pros and cons of each treatment
and what forms you need to fill out and share with your doctor
to document your choices.

One of the most common symptoms that patients report to
their physicians is chronic cough. Causes of cough can range
from the benign to more serious but regardless of the cause,
the impact on a patient’s quality of life can be significant. A
thorough medical history and physical exam can sometimes
give clues to the diagnosis, but in many cases additional
evaluation is necessary. Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
specialists are uniquely trained in the evaluation and treatment
of chronic cough due to a variety of causes.

PRESENTER: MILLIE THOMPSON
Wed, Nov 30, 1pm, Library

Narrated by Gene Wilder, this
documentary brings the Chicago
World’s Fair to life. Experience the

visit to Chicago’s Columbian
Exposition. Many of the world’s greatest
achievements in science, technology
and culture are unveiled there. In
addition, fairgoers enjoy the popular

Plaisance where the festive atmosphere
of this one-mile entertainment center
offers an array of guilty pleasures such
as belly dancing, street fighting and
beer. Nearly 28 million visit the Fair.
Dubbed the “White City,” it inspires
future innovators like Henry Ford and
Frank Lloyd Wright, debuts the Ferris
Wheel and Cracker Jack, and, in many
ways, marks the beginning of the 20th
century. Filmed in High-Definition,
“EXPO - Magic of the White City”
immerses viewers in one of the
world’s biggest extravaganzas and
one of the most unforgettable

Nurse’s Column
THE BENEFITS OF SOCIALIZING
For older adults, it is probably
more important right now, than
at any other stage in your life, to
get out and socialize. The health
benefits of social interaction are
numerous and well documented:
lower blood pressure; improved
mental health with less depression
and anxiety symptoms; better
nutrition; improved memory and
mental function; and a boosted
immune system. But here’s the
kicker: You have to want to get
off your couch and go participate
in the world. This holiday season
give a gift to yourself: go out your
door and volunteer, get a pet,
join a club, meet friends or learn
something new (a language, a
musical instrument or a craft)!
Do you have a question you would
like to submit? Please contact Sue
Shearer in Clinic Room A, by phone
