From Me To You...

Welcome to the June edition of Viva!

On our cover we have the runner up for The Cutest Pet in PebbleCreek 2017! Cubbie was a rescue dog who was adopted shortly after The Cubs won the World Series. He is two and is full of energy. Congratulations Jane Richards and Cubbie - you have won 2 tickets to the Wildlife World Zoo. Looking outside my window one day last week I was shocked to see mass destruction in my front yard. OK, perhaps not mass destruction, but something had been having a wild old time in my rocks, and had pushed most of them into the sidewalk. I was immediately incensed. How could someone walk their dog and allow it to make such a mess on someone else’s property?

Operation “Cease and Desist” was on!

Step One: Surveillance I began to watch our security cameras vigilantly, seeking the culprit. I was thwarted at every turn, the minute I was distracted the rock would be disturbed.

I thought I had the miscreant one day but it was just an elderly gentleman walking his dog without a leash.

OK I know that is not allowed but he was so old and frail that I worried for his health if I yelled at him.

Step Two: Deterrence Off to Lowes I went. Bear Pee, Animal Away, you name it, I bought it. If this animal could not be caught I would make the area so noxious that it would find a better place to mess around.

And boy, is that stuff foul. As I was spreading it among my rocks the wind picked up and I accidentally inhaled some of the dust. 10 minutes later with my eyes still streaming I had managed to get the coughing under control... no worries, I was sure that anything that disgusting would solve the problem. Nope.

Those critters were not giving up!

A couple of days later as I ran out of the house to pick up my child from school I saw them. Quail! Quail?

That was the problem? Apparently so. The adorable birds with the feather bobbing on top of its head, the cute families that scatter across the road in a demented line of what seems like 20 babies, that was my vandal.

A quick Google search revealed the answer. Dust baths. The quail are amongst a group of birds who dig holes in the rocks and wallow in the dust they create, it binds to dirt and oil on their feathers and falls away.

I have somewhat resigned myself to waiting until quail season is over and in the meantime I can comfort myself with the fact that I probably have the cleanest quail in the neighborhood.

It’s almost monsoon season here in Arizona. I hear it will be raining toads soon – Sonoran Desert toads that is! As a life-long New Englander, I thought the scorpions and rattlesnakes were enough! While these unassuming nocturnal amphibians do ingest large amounts of pesky bugs, they also come with an invisible warning tag-- a potentially deadly neurotoxin quietly tucked away in their glands.

If picked up or mouthed by a predator, Sonoran Desert Toads will emit a potent milky white toxin that, if ingested, is capable of deadly harm. Predator or playful pup, these large toads know no difference.

When the rains come, they’re just here to eat and breed.

While keeping your dog inside after dark is ideal, these toads have a way of popping up in obscure places. These persistent toads have been known to scale a fence or two with ease. They also enjoy hanging out in swimming pools as they call out to their mates.

If you see your pet mouthing or ingesting one of these

Furry Friends

toads, please watch for these signs of intoxication: • mouth irritation • bright red gums • excessive drooling • seizures • weakness and collapse • vomiting or diarrhea

Unfortunately the Sonoran Desert Toad’s toxin is not just toxic, it is also hallucinogenic. Rapid intervention is life saving. Following these steps can greatly reduce the health risks for your beloved pet: 1. Wash your pet’s mouth out with water. This can be done using a garden hose for larger dogs, and the kitchen sink for smaller ones. Keep your pet’s head pointing downward and rinse thoroughly for 10-15 minutes. It’s important to note that you want a steady, gentle flow of water across the mouth – the water should be flowing out the front of your pet’s mouth.

This prevents any water from going down your pet’s throat. Rubbing your pet’s gums and wiping of its nose further helps to remove any toxic residue.

2. Seek immediate care at your local vet or emergency hospital. Additional medications or fluids may be needed to ensure optimal health for your pet. By following these immediate actions, most pets respond positively within a couple of hours of treatment.

Healthy Living 5 nutritionist tips to start eating and living healthier

When you need to fix your car, learn the latest tech or finish a major home improvement, what do you do?

You turn to the experts, those with in-depth knowledge on how to accomplish these tasks in the most efficient and effective way. And when you’re looking to improve your overall health by focusing on improving your diet, it’s also time to turn to the experts.

Nutritionists and registered dietitians are the thought leaders when it comes to improving your eating habits.

So to learn from the professionals, we asked Registered Dietitian and nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner to offer her tips on how you can improve your nutrition and start living a healthier life today. She offers this advice:

Keep produce where it is easily visible and accessible.

Storing foods like hard-boiled eggs, chicken breast and roasted vegetables at eye-level can really help to make smarter meal choices. Clear food containers will also help to keep already prepared meals top of mind and lessen food waste, which means saving money in the long run.

*Get organized. Your environment can work for you *Practice superfood swaps. Don’t cut out food cravings or against you. Having an organized refrigerator can - embrace them! Eat the flavors that you crave but be the key to success on the journey to weight loss. swap out overly processed stuff for fresh, wholesome ingredients. Avoid products with chemicals, refined sugars and flours, artificial flavors and preservatives and it will naturally lead to a healthier lifestyle. When you fill the house with healthier foods, you’ll automatically eat smarter when hunger strikes. *Eat your “green base.” It can be difficult to make the right nutrition choices all the time. So when you are eating more decadent food like fried chicken, Chinese or pizza, put it on a base of leafy greens like spinach, spring mix or kale. That way you will get to eat what you want, but you’ll fill up more on your superfood greens and eat less of the high-calorie foods. *Set the table. One of the simplest ways to start naturally eating less and enjoying food more is to eat all meals and snacks at the table. When you put food on a plate, eat at a table and sit in a chair you’ll eat much less than if you were eating while working on the computer, watching TV, standing in the fridge or driving! *Build a better breakfast. A healthy diet starts with a nutritious breakfast. Think whole foods instead of pre-packaged foods high in calories and packed with preservatives.

Doctor Who? Need care today? Here are 4 choices to try before the emergency room

A health concern rarely strikes when it’s convenient for you, and in most cases it occurs at the worst possible time. When you need care and don’t have time to schedule an appointment, what do you do?

and specialize in treating less serious conditions than urgent care centers or emergency rooms. If you have a minor illness or you need preventative care, like a vaccination, then a retail clinic is a logical stop for you.

Telemedicine

You head to the emergency room, of course. You wait in the long ER lines and pay the hefty bill that concludes your visit, all for a non-emergency situation that required immediate treatment. It’s hardly the most efficient solution, and while your health is certainly your most important concern, there are ways to receive the same quality care without the long wait and extravagant expense of an emergency room visit.

A product of the digital age, telemedicine connects patients with providers via virtual visits, resulting in lower costs and decreased travel time.

Telemedicine services are an attractive option if you live in a rural community or for times when the treatment you require does not extend beyond a consultation. They are also a handy tool for followup appointments that do not require an in-person visit.

Considering the three C’s Years ago the emergency room was your only option when you needed immediate care, but today’s health care market is home to a number of flourishing alternative options. To find the right solution for your situation, consider the three C’s: care, convenience and cost.

On-site clinics

* Care: Evaluate the severity of your symptoms and identify what services you need. An emergency issue should always be treated at the ER, but if the problem is not life- or limb-threatening, it can be treated somewhere else. * Convenience: It’s a good idea to know what health care facilities are near you, as well as their hours of operation. * Cost: Not every provider will be covered by your insurance, so it’s important to understand your coverage area as well as your pre-authorization requirements.

Finally, you may consider an on-site clinic. This option is now offered by many employers as a way of providing increased health care access to their employees. Similar to retail clinics, an on-site clinic specializes in offering wellness and preventative services - though the specific services offered by each clinic may vary.

Finding the best solution for you You’ve read all the care options above and you have a pretty good idea of the best solution for any care need. Match that need with the right treatment option above and you’ll receive the same quality care without the long wait and hefty bill of that emergency room visit.

To find an urgent care center near you, visit www. whereisurgentcare.com.

Urgent care centers Urgent care centers are equipped to handle illnesses and injuries that require X-rays, intravenous fluids and/or on-site lab tests. With an emphasis on convenience, urgent care offers short wait times - often 30 minutes or less compared to four hours in the emergency room - and affordable care, made even more so because it is covered by most insurance providers.

Retail clinics Otherwise known as walk-in clinics, retail clinics are commonly found in supermarkets or pharmacies

Food and Meds

Life As A Caregiver

I guess in one sense, my mom and I are lucky that she doesn’t take ANY meds at all…other than her halfpill-a-day Aricept for Alzheimer’s. Now, what that says is that she is in good health for an 88 year-old woman, except for those horrible chronic headaches and the Alzheimer’s itself. But, she doesn’t have heart issues, or circulations problems, etc., that usually plague our elders. On the one hand, that’s good, because she used to take an arsenal of meds for her headaches until we all learned (including the doctors) that they were dangerous and, after a while, useless.

On the other hand, it also means that she could go on and on with Alzheimer’s for a long time.

I am positive THAT would not be good.

There are several Alzheimer’s drugs that people take.

The most common is Aricept, but there is Razadyne and Exelon, as well. All they really do is possibly slow down the process. None of the drugs out there today do anything to stop it…or even attempt to cure it. For us, Aricept has done its job to slow things down. At one point, five or six years ago, the doctor put her on one of the newer meds, called Namenda. It claimed to even reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in some cases. But for us, all it did for mom was cause a few visual hallucinations and agitation…so we stopped it immediately. But, as I’ve said over and over, everyone is different, which would mean, everyone doesn’t do well with the same drug.

or Alzheimer’s. There is a great book out there (on Amazon) co-written by my mom’s doctor, Marwan Sabbagh, entitled “The Alzheimer’s Prevention Cookbook—Recipes to Boost Brain Health“. It describes the kinds of food we should eat, what we shouldn’t eat, good fat, and how we process our food which could indeed lead to brain tissue erosion. It also goes into what role certain vitamins, antioxidants, antiinfammatories and food vs. supplements play. Very interesting reading and I highly recommend it.

I try and prepare food that my mom likes. Because let’s face it: she’s 88 years old, she already has Alzheimer’s disease (which will NOT be cured in her life time) and is in headache pain most of the time.

She deserves the pleasure of food.

‘Trader Joe’s’ has become one of our best friends. She likes most everything that comes from there…whether it simply needs heating up or comes in the form of ingredients leading to a nice meal. Fortunately, there is one close to where we live. So…she gets to eat what she likes, and I eat what is best for me. Often, our meals are different. But hers always ends with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake (or something sweet), which will usually put a smile on her face. Because remember….everything is in the moment with Alzheimer’s disease!

Submitted by Kathy Linton, West Valley Resident

In the readings I’ve done, many doctors feel Alzheimer’s is caused, in part, from toxins we ingest: water, genetically-altered foods, the soil in which our food grows, plastics, additives, pesticides, and from the polluted air we breathe. In their opinion, these toxins impact brain tissue and form brain plaque that destroys our cognitive, behavioral and psychological behavior. But arguably, no one seems to be sure.

If it is food-related, which I tend to think that is largely true, then most of how we approach food will NOT help people who already have the disease. But it may impact those of us who might likely develop dementia Viva

The Best Advice

5 facts about strokes that could save your life had a stroke in their life, but someone has a stroke every Chances are you know someone who has had a stroke.

An estimated 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Despite how common strokes are, there are a lot of widely believed misconceptions.

Unfortunately, not knowing the facts can put a person at bigger risk for experiencing a stroke themselves, or, not being able to help someone else who may be experiencing a stroke.

To help separate fact from fiction, the medical experts at Life Line Screening share the truth about the top misconceptions about stroke:

40 seconds in the U.S.

Misconception: A stroke will kill you Fact: Approximately one out of eight strokes results in death within thirty days. The other seven instances leave the person disabled. Stroke is fatal in about 10 to 20 percent of cases and, among survivors, it can cause a host of disabilities, including loss of mobility, impaired speech, and cognitive problems.

Misconception: Strokes cannot be prevented Fact: Up to 80 percent of strokes could be stopped before they start. Health screenings are an effective way to identify and understand risk factors so they can be properly managed. Research shows nine out of 10 cardiovascular doctors support preventive health screenings for cardiovascular disease (plaque in the arteries) among patients with key risk factors. To learn more, visit http://www.lifelinescreening.com.

Misconception: Strokes only happen to older people Fact: Research found 61 percent of strokes happen in people over the age of 65. That means 39 percent of strokes happen to younger people.

Misconception: Strokes are not a problem in the United States Fact: You may only know a few people who’ve Misconception: Only a doctor can identify a stroke Fact: Everyone can and should know the signs and symptoms of stroke. By taking quick action, you could save a life.

According to the CDC, the most common signs of stroke are: * Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body. * Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or difficulty understanding speech. * Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. * Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or lack of coordination. * Sudden severe headache with no known cause.

If you or someone else has any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately. Understanding the facts about stroke helps empower you to control your own health.

Even if risk factors are present, you can take proactive measures to help prevent stroke for yourself and loved ones.

Home Safe

Calling all Snowbirds and part-time residents!

Many of you rely on a friendly neighbor to keep an eye on your home when you are away. Let me explain why that is not always the best idea.

First of all you are putting pressure on your relationship.

The number of people who will willingly drop everything to let in a contractor, check a funny smell, or locate and change smoke detector batteries is few and far between. You don’t want your vacation home to be surrounded by the stress of avoiding that neighbor for years to come once the agreement crumbles.

Next what happens when your friend is away on their own vacation? Going to take a risk and hope this is not the week that your water heater springs a leak? If this friend does not do regular inside checks of your home then pests can become a disastrous situation. Have any of you had a termite infestation? Those tubes can spring up and spread like wildfire, causing massive destruction and extensive expense if they are not caught and dealt with immediately.

Do you enjoy waiting on line at the post office to pick up your mail on the first day of your vacation? The staff at our local post office are delightful, but I don’t relish waiting up to half an hour to chat to them. A homewatch service will collect your mail on a regular basis, they even sort the bulk and junk and recycle it for you so you can get on with relaxing asap. If an important piece of mail arrives while you are away, your homewatch service will alert you to any necessary action - no one enjoys a power outage in Arizona in the summer...

Need a reliable contractor, maid service, handyman, or gardener? Most homewatch services have a list of pre-approved providers, usually at a discount! Is your second home insured? Most insurance companies will offer you a discount if you employ a homewatch service.

Contracting with a service that makes it their business to care for your home is worth every penny. The relief of knowing that when you come here on vacation, or for the winter, you can simply relax, is priceless.

Outside Your Window Don’t be Gladys Who’s the Gladys Kravitz in your life? In case you don’t remember, Mrs. Kravitz was the nosey neighbor on the television series “Bewitched.” If you haven’t seen the show, Gladys is like overly zealous block watch volunteer. She peeked through curtains and reported her discoveries to Abner, her husband, who only wanted to read the newspaper. Does your neighborhood have someone like that? Is that person you?

It’s okay to admit it if that person is you. Humans have always had a fascination with looking without being seen. Many of us have peepholes in our front doors to keep us safe. The Hitchcock movie “Psycho” has the audience peeking through a hole in the wall to watch Marion Crane in the shower. Spying through the curtains is too old fashioned when we have access to drones, webcams, and other technology. I admit I’m one to peer out the window to see what others are doing. It’s usually boring stuff like people walking the

dog or kids playing. Just once, I’d like to see clowns riding motorcycles going up the street to liven things up.

There is a line between an observant neighbor and a creepy person. Watching the neighbor from your home through your window is okay. Watching the neighbor in their home through THEIR window is bad. No one likes the busybody, nosey person whether at home or at work.

Being observant of what’s happening in your neighborhood is good. It’s even better when neighbors look out for each other. All of you would keep an eye on each other’s stuff on long trips or whenever you’re not home. Watching over each other helps us become nice neighbors, make the neighborhood better, and build a strong community. Think it to the next steps: A great neighborhood means more people want to live there. Higher demand means higher value. So, in theory, property values could increase all from you becoming a nosy neighbor.

It’s easy to watch, lurk, and monitor what’s going on in your neighborhood. Mrs. Kravitz had her useful moments, but never seemed happy. Looking from a distant or hidden spot means there’s a barrier between you and the world even if that barrier is a window.

It’s much more exciting to be involved. Get out and enjoy your neighborhood and the world!
