Dear Readers

Welcome to 2015 and this edition of the Tradewinds Newsletter I am excited for the new year

and what we have in store for you Since becoming the director of OASIS in 2012 the goal has

been to increase participation at the Luis Oasis Senior Center by bringing in the services you

want and need In many ways the members of OASIS make this an easy task because you are

straight forward with me If we are missing something or can do things better you arenrsquot

afraid to let us know Thank you for your honesty because the information you provide is

valuable and crucial for our programming In addition to your comments we gave you a sur-

vey last year and the results were very helpful Thank you for taking the time to fill it out

I am happy to report that there have been 23 new classes and programs added at the OASIS

since 2012 which doesnrsquot include the special presentations regularly scheduled each

Thursday In addition to the collection of classes and programs that have been here for

several years (many for more than 20) the new classes reflect the changing interests and needs

of the population we serve As a result of the new programming OASIS membership has in-

creased from 450 members in 2011 to nearly 900 by the end of 2014

I understand that there have been adjustments made by our regular attendees to

accommodate the increase of usage and the busyness of scheduling Thank you for your

patience with us and for understanding that we are trying hard to do good Itrsquos inevitable that

wersquoll have ldquogrowing painsrdquo along the way I must also commend my staff for keeping these

instances at a minimum

In order to facilitate the changes the OASIS Board of Directors has been incredibly

supportive and courageous They believe in the direction we are headed and had the faith in

me to bring in the additional staff I needed to take OASIS where it needs to go They are a

modest group and operate behind the scenes but so instrumental to the success of this organi-

zation Itrsquos a privilege to work with them and learn from them We are in excellent hands un-

der their guidance

The 6th Annual GALA ldquoSeniors Building Communityrdquo is scheduled for Friday

March 20 2015 at the Santa Maria Country Club More information to come

With the first Tradewinds of 2015 itrsquos fitting that I close with an update about the relocation

of OASIS I keep hearing the rumors that are swirling around Some say we are moving to

ldquothis placerdquo while others are saying to ldquothat placerdquo (or not at all) Please donrsquot buy in to any

rumor mill talk When there is actual information that I can share then you will be the first to

know I ask for your patience because this is a very delicate process and it must be done the

right way If the information doesnrsquot come directly from me it should be disregarded That

being said we it appears we have a bright future in store

Doug

Ingredients

1 can(s) (145-oz) crushed tomatoes 1 teaspoon(s) dried oregano Kosher salt and pepper 4 large red bell peppers 1 small onion chopped 1 small potato (about 6 oz) diced 1 cup(s) fresh flat-leaf parsley roughly chopped 14 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper (optional) 1 pound(s) Italian sausage casings removed

Directions

1 In a 5- to 6-qt slow cooker combine the crushed tomatoes oregano and 14 tsp each salt and pepper

2 If the peppers do not sit upright slice a very thin piece off the bottom Finely chop the piece and place in a large bowl Add the onion potato parsley and crushed red pepper (if using) to the bowl and toss to combine Add the sausage and mix to incorporate

3 Using a paring knife at a slight angle cut the tops off the peppers discard the seeds Spoon the sausage mixture (about 1 cup each) into the peppers

4 Arrange the peppers upright in the slow cooker and place the tops over the filling Cook covered until the sausage is cooked through and the peppers are tender 5 to 6 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high 5 Using two large spoons transfer the peppers to plates letting any excess liquid drain into the sauce Stir the sauce and serve with the peppers

A New Yearrsquos resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other New Years Eve is the only acceptable time to wear body glitter without being mistaken for a stripper My New Yearrsquos resolution is to stop hanging out with people who ask me about my New Yearrsquos resolutions I have only one resolution To rediscover the difference between wants and needs May I have all I need and want all I have Happy New Year This New Yearrsquos I resolve to be less awesome since that is really the only thing I do in excess People treat New Yearrsquos like some sort of life-changing event If your life sucked last year itrsquos probably still going to suck

tomorrow Ill remember 2014 like it was yesterday Dear Luck can we be friends in 2015 Please I want to kiss you on December 31st from 1159 pm to 1201 am so I can have an amazing ending to 2014 and a beautiful be-ginning into 2015 Many things can be preserved in alcohol this New Years Eve DIGNITY is not one of them Every year I make a resolution to change myself this year Irsquom making a resolution to be and accept myself

Im actually feeling pretty okay about not accomplishing anything this year

ldquothis placerdquo while others are saying to ldquothat placerdquo (or not at all) Please donrsquot buy in to any

rumor mill talk When there is actual information that I can share then you will be the first to

know I ask for your patience because this is a very delicate process and it must be done the

right way If the information doesnrsquot come directly from me it should be disregarded That

being said we it appears we have a bright future in store
