Bus
Call at 8:30 a.m. on the
day you need a ride to
the Center and we will
come pick you up. Bus runs Monday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Dear friends,
We’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of a couple of new initiatives providing services to seniors. Some of you may have noticed the big Medical Teams International bus parked in front of
our building on February 9th—they were here to provide free urgent dental care to qualified
clients. What a great service, and they’ll be back in the early fall!
We’re also participating in a pilot project to test the feasibility of using technology to set up
shared rides—putting people in need of transportation in touch with people going in the needed
direction. This is potentially exciting stuff, so please plan to attend the orientation to be held here
at CAC on Thursday March 19th. This is a great opportunity for those of you who no longer drive
out of town. Read the flyer included in this newsletter for more information.
See you at the Center—Kathy

along 2nd to clear the land. She noted that Juniper Street will no longer be open. Tracie also

Do you enjoy helping others? Would you like to help a senior
with trips to the grocery store, running errands or activities in
their home such as putting puzzles together, reading, watching movies? The Senior Companion Program may just
what you are looking for. We need volunteers. We have
many seniors and adults with disabilities in the Canby community who would benefit from the program. However, currently I do not have enough volunteers to fill the need.

Soup… Did you Know:
The word “soup” is of
Sanskrit origin! It is derived
from the su and po, which
means good nutrition.
A cup of soup makes for a
simple, and smart low-cal
snack.
To remove excess fat from
your soup simply take a lettuce leaf and draw it across
the surface of the soup. The
excess fat sticks to the leaf.
Soup—The perfect solution
to incorporate vegetables in
your diet.
Do you have some late
nights and late dinners? Instead of a big meal, simply
have a bowl of soup! The
high water content in soups
will keep you full and give
you nutrition too. A bowl of
hot, delicious soup makes a
great dinner.

The dark orange flesh varieties have more betacarotene than those with light colored flesh. Despite
the name “sweet” they are beneficial for diabetics as
they help stabilize blood sugar levels and lower insulin
resistance. They provide a good amount of vital
minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium,
manganese, and potassium that are very essential for
enzyme, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism.
Cook several at a time to have extra on hand for soups or
hash browns, toss some cubed with salt and pepper and a
little oil and roast in a hot oven until crispy and lightly
browned. Enjoy the ‘brights’

There Really IS a Difference…
Sweet Potatoes vs. Yams
Sweet potatoes come in two main varieties here in the States.
One has a golden skin with creamy white flesh and a crumbly texture. The other has a copper skin with an orange flesh that is
sweet and soft. All sweet potato varieties generally have the same
shape and size -- they are tapered at the ends and much smaller
than the yams.
Yams are native to Africa and Asia and other tropical regions.
Yams are starchy tubers that have an almost black bark-like skin
and white, purple or reddish flesh and come in many varieties.
The word yam comes from an African word, which means "to
eat." The yam holds great importance as a foodstuff because it
keeps for a long time in storage. For eating, yams are typically
peeled, boiled and mashed or dried and ground into a powder
that can be cooked into a porridge.
WARNING:
Summer 2015
Paving Project Ahead
The Oregon Department of Transportation
(ODOT) is working on a project to repave OR 99E from
SW Berg Parkway in Canby, to just north of 2nd Street in
Aurora. ODOT expects construction to start in summer
2015.
The project will:
*Repave OR 993, completing most of the work at night
to minimize impacts to local businesses, residents and
travelers.
*Update sidewalk ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities ACT (ADA) standards at the corners of OR 993 and
Berg Parkway, Barlow Road, and 1st Street (in
Aurora).
*Restripe OR 993 north of Lone Elder Road and add
rumble strips to the shoulder and center line to improve
safety.
*Perform minor repair to the bridge over Pudding
River.

Why do they Call it "Corned" Beef?
The term “Corned” comes from putting meat in a large
crock and covering it with large rock-salt kernels of salt
that were referred to as “corns of salt”. This preserved
the meat. The term Corned has been in the Oxford English Dictionary as early as 888 AD.
