CAPECO Health Promo- tion Coordinator Helena Wolfe said caregivers can get so fo- cused on the needs of the per- son for whom they are caring that they forget to take care of themselves. She said that can cause the caregiver’s health to decline, and, in some cas- es, they may pass away before their loved ones. With a returning set of classes for family caregivers, however, people in Hermiston and Pendleton can learn some tools that Wolfe said will help them effectively care for their loved ones and themselves. “This class isn’t about how to take care of someone else,” she said. “It is about learning how to take care of yourself while taking care of someone else.” The program, called “Pow- erful Tools for Caregivers,” will feature six classes that will take place from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays, begin- ning Jan. 12, at Good Shep- herd Medical Center. Classes will also be offered from 9:30 a.m. to noon Tuesdays, begin- ning Jan. 13, at the CAPECO PDLQRI¿FH6(7KLUG6W Pendleton. There is no cost to attend, and each class partic- ipant will receive a copy of “The Caregiver Helpbook” to accompany the class content. Wolfe said the sessions will feature interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorm- ing that will help caregivers take the tools they choose and put them to action. The class will address how family care- givers can reduce stress; how to effectively communicate with other family members, doctors and paid help; how caregivers can still take care of themselves; and how to re- duce guilt, anger and depres- sion. The class will also teach caregivers ways to relax, how to make tough decisions and how to set goals and problem solve. Wolfe said class sizes are limited and interested par- ticipants must contact her by Diana Pauline Fee Hermiston Dec. 2, 1953-Dec. 28, 2014 Diana Pauline Fee, 61, of Hermiston died Sunday, Dec. 28, 2014, in Richland, Wash.

COMING EVENTS WEDNESDAY, JAN. 7 Saturday to register for the class. Those signing up to par- ticipate must also attend the ¿UVW FODVV WKRXJK WKH\ PD\ miss one or two of the other classes. For those needing respite care for their family members during that time, Wolfe said organizers can work with par- ticipants to provide that care while they attend the classes each week. Wolfe said past classes have been well received. “It has a really good repu- tation,“ she said. “People said it has been really worthwhile for them.” For more information and to register, contact Wolfe at 541-561-5443, or email her at hwolfe@capeco-works.org. When registering, let Wolfe know if respite care is needed. Caregivers who cannot at- tend the class this session are encouraged to call and ask to be put on a waiting list for a future class. “If someone can’t do it now, they can still contact me,” she said. “All we need is to have a good handful of people so we can offer it again.” BABY BOOGIE & TAPPIN’ TODDLERS, 10-10:45 a.m., Hermiston Public Library, 235 E.
