Chili Cook-Off Brings Out The Chili Chefs! Saturday, October 3rd found us in the middle of a heat wave with temperatures in the low 90’s for several days. Not exactly a day one wants to cook, nor eat chili, but cook it and eat it we did! Bringing chili were Bonnie and Gloria from Elena Ramirez’s family; Kathy, Keith Norgard’s caretaker; Wendy with Keith’s family, and residents Marge Lundberg, Dan Montijo, and Keri Rees - seven entries. Judges were Colleen Block (Keith Norgard’s daughter), Judy Lara and Peter Perez. They tasted and talked, talked and tasted. All three prize winners were taken by surprise when their names were called – Caretaker Kathy won 1st place with an award of $15.00. Keri Rees won second, accompanied by $10.00. Marge Lundberg, on her fourth attempt at submitting a chili to our cookoff’s, won third place and received $5.00. Our affairs always start the night before when the few and strong gather at 5:00pm in the Clubhouse to set up the tables and decorate. Thanks to Sue Pringle, Les Copeland and Peter Zut along with me, we set up all the tables, chairs and put on the tablecloths and set out the simple decorations. There was a bat hanging from the ‘rafters’ just before you enter the kitchen area. Those attending, did you spy it? There was a Halloween bottle doll on the 3rd table. Thank you, Keri Rees, for bringing some ‘dolls’. One sat on the raffle table. Up and down the center of the tables were small wooden pumpkins, pumpkins with fall leaves, ghosts and other adorable items brought by Sue. We discovered a ‘cache’ of fall decorations in a library cupboard! Carol Taormino and I arrived at 3:30pm Saturday to do the final setup. And turn on the air conditioners! Paper plates, napkins and cutlery on the tables, paper cups and bowls for the chili put on the round tables in the kitchen area. Many thanks to Carol for going shopping, purchasing shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions and drinks. And she sliced the onions until Les came along and said, “Got a scissors? Cut them!” And she did! Went much faster! Thanks to all who brought salads, quiches, corn breads and desserts. It was all sooooo good! After dinner Marge shared a Halloween tradition her in-laws do, and Les Copeland shared a party with ‘borrowed’ decorations from his single days! After the raffle the three bundt cakes were sliced, along with the pudding pies – all wonderful, most home made and super delicious!!! Thanks to all who stayed and cleaned up, putting away the tables and chairs, sweeping the floor, and making sure the kitchen is spic and span. We were finished shortly after 7pm.

Quadruplets Become Schizophrenic The Morlok quadruplets, known in psychiatric literature as the Genain quadruplets, were American monozygotic (identical) quadruplet sisters born on May 19, 1930, in Lansing, Michigan. They were Edna A. Morlok, Wilma B. Morlok, Sarah C. Morlok (later Sarah Morlok Cotton), and Helen D. Morlok. Their birth attracted national attention, and as children they appeared together in singing-and-dancing performances. After all four were diagnosed with schizophrenia by the age of 24, they became the subjects of long-running research at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) into hereditary and environmental factors associated with the disorder. The sisters were born at Edward W. Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. Their givenname initials—E, W, S, and H—corresponded to the hospital's name, while their middle initials, A through D, indicated their birth order. Their birth received extensive press attention. During their childhood, the sisters were given singing and dancing lessons and appeared together in touring stage performances. Later accounts contrasted their cheerful public image with conditions inside the family home. Audrey Clare Farley's history of the family described an abusive and highly controlling home environment. All four sisters were diagnosed with schizophrenia in early adulthood. A 2000 follow-up study described the combination of monozygotic female quadruplets all developing schizophrenia as exceptionally rare, estimating its occurrence at approximately one in 1.5 billion. Beginning in the 1950s, the sisters were studied at the National Institute of Mental Health as part of an investigation into hereditary and environmental factors associated with the disorder. Psychologist David Rosenthal led the research team that studied them intensively from 1955 to 1958. To protect the family's identity, researchers used the Greek-derived pseudonym Genain, described by Rosenthal as meaning "dreadful birth" or "dire gene", and referred to the sisters as Nora, Iris, Myra, and Hester. The initials of those names spell NIMH, the acronym for the National Institute of Mental Health. The initial study was documented in the 1963 book The Genain Quadruplets: A Case Study and Theoretical Analysis of Heredity and Environment in Schizophrenia, edited by Rosenthal. Follow-up studies continued for several decades and documented differences in the sisters' symptoms, treatment histories, and levels of functioning. The sisters differed substantially in their degree of independence and their need for psychiatric care. Sarah lived more independently than her sisters for much of her adult life. She married, worked as a secretary, and raised a family. In 2015, Sarah published a memoir, The Morlok Quadruplets: The Alphabet Sisters. Wilma died in 2002, Helen in 2003, and Edna in 2015. Sarah, the last surviving sister, died on July 7, 2025, at the age of 95. Farley's book Girls and Their Monsters: The Genain Quadruplets and the Making of Madness in America was published in 2023. It re-examined the sisters' childhood celebrity, their family environment, their treatment by psychiatric researchers, and the broader history of schizophrenia research in the United States.

True Story – They Made a Movie – Did You See It? In the dead of night on September 16, 1979, eight people crammed into a tiny homemade gondola, lit a fire beneath a patchwork balloon stitched together in secret, and prayed it would carry them to freedom. Hans Peter Strelzyk was an electrician living in Pössneck, a small town in East Germany. His neighbor Günter Wetzel was a bricklayer. On the surface, they were ordinary working men living ordinary lives under the watchful eye of one of the most oppressive surveillance states in history. But beneath that surface, both men burned with a single obsession: getting their families out. Together, their group totaled eight people, including their wives Doris and Petra and four children ranging in ages from young boys to teenagers. The planning began in 1977 after Strelzyk read a newspaper article about hot air ballooning. He and Wetzel studied every technical detail they could find, teaching themselves the physics of lift, heat, and gas consumption from books and magazines. They calculated that they needed a balloon with an envelope of roughly 1,200 square meters to carry all eight of them. Building something that large in secret, inside the attic of a private home in a police state, was almost incomprehensible in its difficulty and danger. To avoid suspicion, the two families bought fabric from different stores across different towns, never purchasing too much in one place. They used taffeta, cotton, and assorted synthetic materials, whatever they could gather without raising questions. Doris and Petra spent countless hours sewing the panels together by hand and with a home sewing machine, working only when neighbors were unlikely to notice. The burner system was constructed from scavenged propane cylinders and metal piping, engineered entirely from scratch by men who had never formally studied aerospace or engineering. Their first attempt came on the night of July 3, 1979. They drove to a remote clearing near the border, inflated the balloon, and launched. For a few terrifying and exhilarating minutes it worked. Then the fuel ran out. The balloon descended and landed back inside East Germany, just short of the border. In their panicked scramble to escape the landing site before being discovered, they abandoned the balloon entirely. Within days, the East German secret police, the Stasi, had found Left to right: Günter Wetzel, the wreckage and launched a massive investigation to identify who had built it. Doris Strelzyk, and Peter Strelzyk The families knew the Stasi were closing in. Rather than fleeing or surrendering, they made the almost unbelievable decision to build a second balloon, this one even larger and better engineered than the first. Working at a pace driven by pure desperation, they constructed a new envelope over the following weeks. This balloon was

approximately 25 meters tall when fully inflated and required a completely rebuilt burner system capable of sustaining heat long enough to clear the fortified border zone. On the night of September 15 into the early hours of September 16, 1979, all eight of them gathered in a forest clearing near the town of Heinersdorf. They inflated the balloon, climbed into the small gondola basket, and rose into the darkness. The border between East and West Germany below them was one of the most heavily militarized in the world, lined with tripwires, attack dogs, watchtowers, automatic shooting systems, and armed guards with orders to shoot to kill. The balloon drifted silently above all of it. The flight lasted approximately 28 minutes. They flew through cold air at an altitude estimated between 6,000 and 8,000 feet, the flame roaring beneath them, the children gripping whatever they could hold. When they finally descended and landed in a field near the town of Naila in Bavaria, West Germany, they did not immediately understand they had made it. It took a few disorienting moments before the reality sank in. They were on the other side. They were free. The story captured the world's imagination and became front page news across the globe. Walt Disney Productions turned it into a film called Night Crossing, released in 1982, which dramatized the families' ordeal for international audiences. The original balloon fabric, the burner equipment, and the gondola were preserved and eventually put on display at museums in Germany. The Strelzyk and Wetzel families settled into new lives in West Germany, the impossible dream they had sewn together scrap by scrap finally realized at 6,000 feet above a guarded border in the middle of the night. Facebook Comments to the above post: I was at that border....looking with my binoculars at the border guards and some five minutes later while still standing there a West German border guard drove up and we were told that we couldn't be here and got a $300 fine. A week later this escape happened in the very close vicinity! Diagram of East German border fortifications

I used to show this movie to my world, geography students. Then, I toured the museum next to checkpoint Charlie this summer, and saw the actual sewing machine that the balloon was made and parts of the balloon itself, amazing.!

I remember this vividly! I was stationed at RPC Wiesbaden at the time. Such desperation! Such courage!! On Thanksgiving Day 1980, when I was stationed in Neu Ulm, West Germany, I went on a tour down to Munich to see the King Tut exhibit and while walking around we saw someone that looked familiar and it was Beau Bridges. We went up and talked to him and found out he was there to make a movie and it turned out to be this movie. I actually met one of the boys and his mother in Oregon in 1980. They told us the story just as they had lived it. I was gobsmacked. I said to Tom, that was your family I read about in the Readers Digest? He said yes and his mom confirmed it. I was born in Germany and remember vividly watching this movie in the early 80’s when the wall was still up and we were very conscious of the dynamic of East and West. My father was an American helicopter pilot in the Army. This was and still is a very emotional story. What we are currently experiencing in America with this rush towards Authoritarianism, we are staring down the barrel of ending up in another police state. Heinersdorf is not a town. It is a very small village. The Story is true. I lived there. My mother's family is from East Germany and in 1976 as a young person I was visiting relatives with my grandmother, we took a trip to East Berlin and I decided to take photos of the wall. A Russian soldier ran towards me and grapped my camera from my hand, I thought he was going to break it but only ripped out the film and gave me back the camera, I was both frightened and upset that I lost all my photos. The East Germany side of the wall was bleak and the people very unhappy with their lot. My east German cousin got on the train that was going to take me back to West Germany saying he was going with me to America, then the Russian soldiers got in the train and made sure no East Germans were trying to escape, so my cousin kissed me goodbye and got off the train. By the time the wall fell in 1989, my grandmother had passed on and we lost touch with our German relatives. I never have seen any of them since, so don't know if my cousin made it to America. I was in West Germany, East Germany, and Austria back in 1980. It was with a group that traveled every two years to different areas around Europe. Going through East Germany our bus stopped at a rest area that we should not have. As we all are coming out of the restrooms there were some East German guards telling us to get in our assigned seats, not that I remember having an assigned seat. Then they checked each of our passports and finally let us go on our way. After that every time we had to cross the border they seemed to hold up our bus and keep us waiting for no reason. While staying in West Berlin they had a platform built so you could look over the border and you'd see all the barbed wire fences row after row with the East German guards at machine guns. Back then I had my dad's movie camera filming it. We had to have some East German guards on the bus while we went through some part and we finally got them to smile just before they had to leave the bus. I was even bad and had taken some pictures in a East German pub we had stopped at. Luckily they didn't destroy the film. I did a few taboo things of taking pictures where I shouldn't have, even some of the guards.

The War on Noise: Why It Isn't Your Joy That Bothers Them By Resident - Marty Reinders We’ve all witnessed it. The neighbor who glares at the street hockey game. The patron who sharply shushes a laughing table at a restaurant. The grandparent who abruptly turns off the radio because there’s "too much going on." It prompts a fair, if exasperated, question: When did older people become so obsessed with silence? When did the vibrant, messy sound of the world become the enemy? And, perhaps most painfully, does the sound of other people's joy actually make them angry? To answer that, we have to separate the emotional assumption from the biological reality. It Isn't the Joy. It's the Decibels. Let’s address the heaviest question first: Does your joy actually make them angry? The short answer is no. But the human brain is wired to interpret sudden, loud, or unpredictable sounds as a threat. When a teenager shrieks with laughter or a group of friends erupts at a punchline, they are experiencing pure joy. But to an older ear and a naturally aging nervous system, that sudden spike in volume doesn't immediately register as "happiness." It registers as an acoustic shock. They aren't reacting to your emotion. They are reacting to your volume. The anger you sometimes see is actually a secondary emotion; it is the immediate, irritable byproduct of sudden overstimulation. The Biology of the Shrinking Filter When you are young, your brain acts like a world-class audio engineer. Through a process called sensory gating, it effortlessly pushes the hum of a refrigerator, the bass of a passing car, and the chaotic overlapping conversations of a coffee shop into the background. You hear them, but you don't process them. As we age, that filter degrades. Suddenly, the audio engineer has left the soundboard. Every noise—the clatter of dishes, the thumping bass, the joyful screaming of kids—competes for front-and-center attention in the brain. It is profoundly exhausting. What you experience as a lively, energetic environment, an older person may experience as a barrage of inescapable cognitive clutter. The Hearing Loss Paradox: It seems counterintuitive, but age-related hearing loss often makes people more sensitive to loud noises. A condition called "recruitment" means that while an older person might struggle to hear a whisper, a sudden loud laugh can physically hurt their ears. The threshold between "I can't hear you" and "That is painfully loud" shrinks dramatically. The Sanctuary of Control Beyond biology, there is the psychology of aging. As people grow older, their sphere of absolute control often shrinks. They may no longer control their workplace, they might have less control over their physical mobility, and the world outside is changing at a blinding pace. Your home, your immediate environment, and your peace become the last bastions of total control. Unpredictable noise violates that sanctuary. When a motorcycle revs outside or a party rages next door, it is a visceral reminder that the outside world can still intrude upon their peace whenever it wants. The obsession with silence is often just a proxy for a desire for autonomy. A Quest for Peace, Not a War on Youth None of this excuses rude behavior. A grumpy neighbor yelling at kids for playing outside is still acting poorly, regardless of their neurology. You have a right to your joy, to your laughter, and to take up sonic space in the world. But understanding the "why" changes the narrative. The demand for silence isn't a moral judgment on your happiness, nor is it a bitter resentment of youth. It is a

tired nervous system asking for a break. It is an aging brain trying to find a quiet corner in a world that refuses to stop shouting. They haven't stopped loving joy. They just prefer it at a lower volume. To understand why a noisy room can feel physically overwhelming to an older person, we have to look past the ears and directly at the brain. Hearing and listening are two very different things. Hearing is the mechanical process of your ear picking up sound waves. Listening is the neurological process of your brain deciding what those sound waves mean and whether to pay attention to them. As we age, the mechanical parts of the ear often degrade, but the most profound changes actually happen in the brain's processing centers. Here is a breakdown of how the aging brain's sensory processing changes, and the heavy psychological toll those changes take. The Neurobiology: Why the Filter Fails 1. The Loss of Inhibitory Neurotransmitters Your brain relies on an incredibly delicate balance of "excitatory" signals (which tell neurons to fire) and "inhibitory" signals (which tell neurons to stay quiet). A young brain is flush with inhibitory neurotransmitters like GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA is the brain's "mute button" for irrelevant information. It allows you to focus on the person across the table while completely tuning out the clattering dishes behind you. As the brain ages, it naturally produces less GABA. Without strong inhibitory signals, the brain loses its ability to suppress background noise. The clattering dishes and the conversation are suddenly processed at the exact same priority level. 2. Decreased Temporal Resolution "Temporal resolution" is the brain's ability to process rapid changes in sound. When two people are talking at once, a young brain can parse the micro-seconds of silence between words to separate the voices. An older brain's processing speed slows down, causing those sounds to blur together. Instead of hearing distinct voices, the brain receives a wall of indistinguishable, muddy noise. 3. The "Loudness Recruitment" Phenomenon Age-related hearing loss often damages the tiny hair cells in the inner ear. To compensate, the brain actually turns up its internal volume dial to try and catch the missing frequencies. Because the brain is hypersensitized, when a sudden, loud noise does punch through, it registers as painfully, alarmingly loud. The Psychological Impacts: Living in a Shouting World When the brain's automatic filters fail, the psychological consequences extend far beyond simple irritation. Profound Cognitive Fatigue: Imagine having to consciously, manually filter out every single sound in a room just to hear the person next to you. Because the subconscious filter is broken, the older brain has to use active, executive cognitive power to sort through the noise. This is exhausting. A one-hour dinner in a loud restaurant can leave an older adult feeling as mentally depleted as if they just took a rigorous exam. The "Fight or Flight" Response: When the brain is bombarded with sensory input it cannot organize, it interprets that chaos as a threat. This triggers the amygdala, releasing stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. The grumpiness or anger you see in an overstimulated older person is often a literal, biological panic response. Loss of Confidence and Paranoia: Struggling to process conversation in a busy room can make older adults feel foolish or slow. They may smile and nod through conversations they don't understand, leading to a lingering anxiety that people are talking about them or that they are losing their mental edge. Social Isolation: This is the most tragic outcome. To avoid the exhaustion, the physical discomfort, and the embarrassment of not being able to follow conversations, many older adults simply begin declining invitations. They withdraw from family gatherings, give up hobbies, and isolate themselves in quiet environments—not because they don't want to be social, but because the biological cost of socializing has become too high. The takeaway: The next time an older adult seems inexplicably agitated by a lively environment, remember that their brain is working twice as hard as yours just to organize the room. They aren't trying to ruin the fun; they are trying to manage sensory overload.

When I saw this picture, I thought of Judy Lara and the year she had a black pumpkin on her porch! This is for you, Judy!

This one is for all you cat lovers out there!

Over The River Over the river, and through the wood, to Grandfather's house we go; the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifted snow. Over the river, and through the wood, to Grandfather's house away! We would not stop for doll or top, for 'tis Thanksgiving Day. Over the river, and through the woodoh, how the wind does blow! It stings the toes and bites the nose, as over the ground we go. Over the river, and through the wood. with a clear blue winter sky, The dogs do bark and the children hark, as we go jingling by. Over the river, and through the wood, to have a first-rate play. Hear the bells ring, "Ting a ling ding!" Hurray for Thanksgiving Day! Over the river, and through the woodno matter for winds that blow; Or if we get the sleigh upset into a bank of snow. Over the river, and through the wood, to see little John and Ann; We will kiss them all, and play snowball and stay as long as we can. Over the river, and through the wood, trot fast my dapple gray! Spring over the ground like a hunting-hound! For 'tis Thanksgiving Day. Over the river, and through the wood and straight through the barnyard gate. We seem to go extremely slowit is so hard to wait! Over the river, and through the woodOld Jowler hears our bells; He shakes his paw with a loud bow-wow, and thus the news he tells. Over the river, and through the woodwhen Grandmother sees us come, She will say, "O, dear, the children are here, bring pie for everyone." Over the river, and through the woodnow Grandmothers cap I spy! Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done? Hurrah for the pumpkin pie! This song originally appeared as a poem written by Lydia Maria Child. The poem appeared in Flowers for Children, Vol. 2 in 1844.

The strawberry poison dart frog is one of the most astonishing examples of parental care in the animal world. Deep in the rainforests of Central America, this tiny amphibian performs a survival strategy so precise and coordinated that every step has to work together perfectly from the beginning. Unlike most frogs that simply lay eggs in water and leave, the female strawberry poison dart frog lays her eggs on the damp rainforest floor. The father guards the eggs constantly, keeping them moist and protected. When the tadpoles hatch, they instinctively wriggle onto their mother’s back. She then carries each tiny tadpole individually through the rainforest, searching for rain-filled bromeliad plants high above the forest floor. Inside these plants are tiny pools of water. The mother carefully places one tadpole into each separate pool so they will not compete or eat one another. Then comes perhaps the most incredible part: every few days she returns to each hidden location and feeds every tadpole with unfertilized eggs specially produced as food. She remembers multiple locations scattered throughout the forest and repeats this process for six to eight weeks until the tadpoles fully develop into frogs. How could such a system evolve step by step? If the mother did not transport the tadpoles, they would die. If she did not feed them, they would starve. If the tadpoles lacked the instinct to climb onto her back, the cycle would fail immediately. Every behavior depends on the others already existing and functioning together. This is not random chaos struggling toward order. It is coordinated design. The instincts, memory, timing, anatomy, and behavior all point to intentional creation. Even a tiny rainforest frog reflects astonishing wisdom and care from the Creator.

Ever Wonder Where The Political Elephant Came From? During the 1884 Presidential Election, the “sacred elephant cartoon” of the Republican Party was published, leading to the elephant becoming the official symbol of the Republican party. Complete HarpWeek Explanation: The association of the elephant with the Republican party occurred originally in an 1860 issue of Railsplitter and an 1872 issue of Harper's Weekly. It was, however, Thomas Nast's elephantine caricatures that caught the attention of other cartoonists and the public, thereby leading to the elephant becoming the official symbol of the Republican party. Nast's first two images of the Republican Elephant appear in 1874 in which the partisan pachyderm falls into a trap after the Democrats win control of the House of Representatives. By contrast, this cartoon, which appeared only a couple of weeks before the 1876 presidential election, shows a powerful, methodical Republican Elephant crushing and strangling the two-headed Democratic Tiger of Tilden (r) and Hendricks (l). Uncle Sam looks down approvingly, even gleefully, from the driver's seat atop the beast. Behind him, the passenger box is filled with delighted public schoolchildren, cheering and waving the American flag. On the ground, political boss John Morrissey reveals with his empty pockets that he has no more money to buy votes for the Democrats. 1875 Justice Bound by Red - Nast shows how the politicians have tied up "Justice" in red tape. Crooks in foreground are laughing. (things will apparently never change). The "red" in Thomas Nast's 1875 concept was a literal reference to red tape, the physical red or pinkish tape historically used by legal and government clerks in 17th-century Europe to tie up official documents and bundles of files. Police as Pigs - 1874 Thomas Nast Cartoon Decries Corrupt Police. The Cartoon was published in an 1874 issue of Harper's Weekly, and portrays corrupt policemen as swine, rounding up women from the temperance society who had been protesting the use of liquor. The title is Jewels Among Swine.

1878 Communism Cartoon published in an 1878 issue of Harper's Weekly. It shows communism portrayed as a skeleton and destroyer of home and family. The caption reads, Home Sweet Home! There's No Place Like Home! https://www.printsoldandrare.com/thomasnast/index.html

Cartoonist Thomas Nast featured an elephant for the first time in 1874 to represent the Republican vote. He rendered the animal, unsure of its own weight, plodding through planks representing its own party platform.

The End Of Alzheimer’s – Can We Do This? Editor, Marge Lundberg Michael Morgan is a certified CranioSacral Therapy (CST) instructor, longevity expert, and author who has pioneered research into applying CST to Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, with published findings and ongoing clinical work. He has developed training programs for both therapists and laypersons, including courses titled CranioSacral Therapy and Longevity: Applications for the Treatment of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. He was the host of the 2026 Alzheimer’s World Summit, where he presented integrative brain health strategies, including CST, nutrition, movement, sleep, stress regulation, and personalized care. He is in his early 70’s. Dr. Dale Bredesen is an internationally recognized neurologist who advocates that Alzheimer’s disease is not only preventable but potentially reversible, and is best known for his ReCODE Protocol™ (Bredesen Protocol) aimed at preventing, arresting, and reversing cognitive decline. Dale Bredesen, MD, earned his medical degree from Duke University Medical Center and served as Chief Resident in Neurology at UCSF before joining Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner’s lab as an NIH postdoc. He has held faculty positions at UCSF, UCLA, and UC San Diego, and led the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before becoming President and CEO of the Buck Institute in 1998. He is currently Senior Director of Precision Brain Health at Pacific Neuroscience Institute and Chief Scientific Officer at Apollo Health. He is in his early 70’s. I was concerned about losing words, forgetting why I went into a room, so I scheduled a consult with the Memory Clinic at Kaiser San Jose in 2021. They recommended I have a friend/relative join me, which I did. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) screening was done in my office at home via zoom. What I remember is that I was very nervous! As I was interviewed, I was asked to remember a string of five numbers, then a string of five words. At almost the end of our conversation I was asked to recall the numbers and words. I think I remembered four out of the five words – velvet was forgotten! I don’t remember my number score. Periodically I was shown a picture to identify. I flunked that wild beast in Africa – the rhinoceros! I knew I knew it but couldn’t draw the name out of my brain – weird feeling! I had to draw a clock and place the numbers and was given a time to indicate with the hands. I had to draw a three-dimensional cube. Through all of this the clinician is chatting with me. I came out of that session with a score of 26 – the bottom of the Normal Cognition scale. I was 83 years old. How MoCA Scores Are Interpreted • 26–30: Normal cognition • 18–25: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) • 10–17: Moderate impairment • 0–9: Severe impairment I am now 88 years old. I am very aware of my missed words – searching for my phone constantly! Needing to look at my calendar daily to remind me what I have planned for the next day or so. I heard about Dr. Bredesen’s work two – three years ago. Then I heard about Dr. Judy Benjamin, 82, who is the first known person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s to walk across both the United States and England, using her journeys to spread hope and awareness about the disease. Benjamin was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2011 (age 67) after her mother, four uncles, and other family members were also affected. She credits her continued cognitive health to the ReCODE Protocol developed by neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen, which focuses on personalized medical and lifestyle interventions. As a former medical anthropologist who worked for USAID and the UN, she has lived a high-stress, high-travel life until retiring during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she began making major health changes. Dr. Bredesen at the time was doing 100% lab work on the brain – think fruit flies! Around 2012-13 a mutual friend recommended that she see the Dr. He said, “I’m in the lab, I have no patients!” She flew from the east coast to CA and spoke with him, taking notes the whole time, for two and a half hours. She flew home and put the program into practice. Dr. Bredesen calls her his ‘patient zero.’ In 2025, Benjamin completed a 2,790-mile walk from San Diego, California, to St. Augustine, Florida, becoming the first known Alzheimer’s survivor to cross the U.S. She began in April and finished in September, sharing her story along the way to highlight prevention, early intervention, and the possibility of life after diagnosis. In August 2026, at age 82, she embarked on a ~550-mile trek from Land’s End in Cornwall to London, passing through Cornwall, Devon, Winchester, the South Downs, Dover, Canterbury, and Greenwich. She completed the walk on September 25, 2026, taking 1.3 million steps. Her message: Alzheimer’s is not a death sentence. She wants to show that lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and identifying root causes of cognitive decline can make a profound difference.

So, what did I do? I purchased the book! And the plan is to adjust what I can in diet and lifestyle, exercise and sleep – and see what happens! I took notes as I watched the videos of the 30+ speakers at the 2026 Alzheimer’s World Summit. The speakers ran the gamut from research scientists to moon therapy! Some talked so far above me in lab speak I might as well have not listened, except for the fact that they were on the cutting edge of what research is finding out about our brains and what we are doing to ourselves to cause decline. The talks ran from 25-35 minutes each. Below are my distilled notes – combining what the consensus is about cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s. President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack on September 24, 1955 while on vacation in Denver, CO. The event helped catalyze greater attention to cardiovascular research and public awareness of heart health in the United States. Giving to medical research was not a public endeavor. After the President’s heart attack the word was out that heart health needed research. Giving to heart health research led far ahead of other needs at the time. Cancer research, brain research. Near the end of the 20th century, every $1 given for heart research – 8 cents was given for brain research. In the last two to three decades, a catch-up has happened where funding for brain research has produced extensive findings about the brain. The lymph system of the brain. The brain and gut talking to each other. And finding out what is going on in the brain when cognitive decline happens. Dr. Dale Bredesen’s life work. Almost all the video guests stated that getting a pTou217 screening test is the first step if you are suspicious of having cognitive decline. I asked and Kaiser San Jose does not offer it yet. Up to 20 years before symptoms appear, bloodwork shows it is in the brain. The 2027 Medicare Manual shows they are offering cognitive screening with the annual Medicare wellness exam. Ask for it. The next thing to do – keep moving! So many of the speakers stated that moving is vital to our body’s health. After eating, go for a walk or do air squats. Our muscles store sugars – keeping our bodies active keeps our muscles clean. See if your Dr. office has a grip test. This one is just under $30. Others are almost $300. Good ole Amazon! Squeeze the instrument as shown. Do three times and take the average score of the three. A low score shows a risk of Alzheimer’s/Dementia (AD). A 10% difference between the left and right also shows a risk of AD. Do resistance training. Challenge your muscles! Do endurance walking: Walk rapidly for 30 seconds, then normal for three to five minutes. Keep repeating the routine. Aerobic exercise promotes new brain cell growth. Another thing we must do: find the inflammation in our body – what isn’t working as it should. I know I have sinus issues. We need to fix the problems that could be causing our bodies to misfire. Again, we have to move to keep healthy. Find what you like to do. Tai Chi. Dancing. Bicycle riding. If we get fearful of falling, we will fall! Fear closes us down. When you get up in the morning, and your feet hit the floor, do toe curls. Curl your toes into the floor or carpet while pressing your tongue against the upper palate. Hold for five seconds. Repeat five times. At your sink, while brushing your teeth, balance on one leg for 10 seconds, then the other leg. Repeat five times each side. Try to be outside at sunrise and sunset. This helps set our biological clock – will help us sleep better. Sleep is when the brain cells clean house. If we don’t get our deep sleep, we collect debris in our brain. Have a sleep study done. A CPAP machine keeps the airway open, oxygenating our brain. Wear a glucose monitor for a month. Notice when you are under stress. What are the readings? Several speakers mentioned doing this. Thyroid disease can mimic AD. Get a Complete Thyroid Panel. Ask for that specifically. Try Essential Oils. Smell is powerful to the brain. Citrus oils are a ‘pick me up’ – regulate nervous system. Geranium/lavender – harmony. Trees like frankincense, pine, cedar are calming. Must be pure oils. We also must keep learning! Use our brains! Do one thing new and keep doing it. Then add another new thing. Memorize Bible verses. Poems. Do the Puzzle Page in our monthly magazine. It has a word search puzzle, a crossword puzzle and Sudoku, a math puzzle. Learn a new game – Rummykub, Mexican Train Dominoes, Mahjong, Hand & Foot. Have grandkids, great grandkids? Studies have shown that using bouncy chairs instead of letting kids learn to crawl is affecting their development. Mommy’s stress is felt by the unborn baby – Shortened telomeres are associated with age-related diseases. Telomeres are essential DNA structures that cap chromosome ends, protect genetic information, regulate cell division, and influence aging and disease processes. We need to give our bodies a break during the day. Breathe. Sit in a chair, feel your spine, your bottom, your neck. Close your

eyes. Slowly breathe in through the nose and slowly breathe out through pursed lips, like holding a straw. Do this five times. And do it two to three times a day. Diet. We eat wrong. What we eat affects our brains. The Mediterranean Diet and the Dash Diet combined is what works well. The Mediterranean diet is a plant-forward eating pattern emphasizing vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fish, and extra-virgin olive oil, shown to reduce cardiovascular risk, support healthy aging, improve metabolic markers, and lower inflammation. The Dash diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is an evidence-based eating plan emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy while limiting sodium, saturated fat, sweets, and red meat to help lower blood pressure and reduce heart-disease risk. Eat wild caught fish two to four times a week. Tuna has too much mercury. Eat grass fed and grass finished meats. Eat a variety of veggies, all colors. Eat a small amount of fermented foods like sauerkraut. Use extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil for cooking. A2 Greek yogurt. Change food colors every two days. Use food as medicine – diversity. Eliminate white sugar – it slows down the information exchanged between cells. Do not use sugar substitutes. No Splenda – no Coke 0!! No nitrates in lunch meats. Go Gluten Free with breads. Preferably, go dairy free. Use nut milks – rice milk is too high in carbs. The speakers shared their podcast information.

There are five influencers in the development of AD: Inflammatory Hormonal Toxic Metal & Environmental biohazards Cardiovascular stroke External blows – head injury A major part of dealing with AD going forward is identifying and alleviating the above influencers. Lesson 1 Earlier Matters Don’t wait for advanced symptoms before asking questions. Look earlier. Measure earlier. Understand the risks earlier. Intervene earlier. Earlier gives the most positive outlook. Lesson 2 No Single Lever Many never be: 1 diet, 1 drug, 1 supplement, 1 therapy, 1 technical break, 1 answer. Cognitive decline is complex. That does not mean helplessness, it means we need a broader blueprint. Brain Longevity Blueprint: Measure – Nourish – Move – Restore – Regulate – Connect At the center of all of it: THE BRAIN And around the brain: The Whole Person Nourish the Brain: Throughout this conference we heard different approaches to nutrition and metabolism. The common emerging themes: Metabolism matters. Inflammation matters. Mitochondria matters. Insulin matters. The gut matters. Nutrition matters. Food is much more than calories. It is information for the body and the brain. Everything we do is nutrient dependent. Movement affects much more than muscle. It influences: Circulation – Balance –

Metabolism – Strength – Coordination – Resilience – Independence – And ultimately Brain Function. Movement may be one of the most accessible longevity tools we have. Regulate the Nervous System Explored what is sometimes overlooked: The state of the nervous system. What happens when the body spends too much time in: Stress? Protection? Hypervigilance? Survival? And not enough time in: Recovery – Regulation – Repair – Restoration. Technology is giving us new windows. We can increasingly see things we could not see before. Biomarkers – Genomics – Advanced Testing – Photo biomodulation – wearable technology giving us new windows into health. Technology alone is not the answer. Information must lead to better decisions. Longevity needs a purpose. The question is not simply: How long can I live? It is also: How well can I live? Who do I want to become? What do I still want to contribute? What might the next 10, 20, or 30 years of my life be for? Longevity without purpose is incomplete. One of the last speakers interviewed was a minister - age 102! He was in high school at WW2, worked with Martin Luther King, Jr and both of them worked with the new United Nations. At 90 he started writing. He has just finished his fifth book at 102. The conference had several sessions speak to the caregiver/patient relationship with a diagnose of AD. There are many resources out there for those who are caring for a loved one that has been diagnosed with AD. Christina Keys, Founder of Keys for Caregiving recommended caregivers join support groups. She stated that caregiving for a loved one is like learning on the job to fly a plane while building the plane without an owner’s manual or toolbox. You need a care coach at the beginning for the caregiver. Caregivers suffer. They bury themselves into the care of their loved one. They forget to take care of themselves. She suggests: Seek out non-profits who are in the business of AD care. Find support groups like Caregiver Action Network. Check your social media platforms. When you tap into a local resource, ask that resource if they know of other resources; contact those resources and ask the same question – what other resources do you know? Christinakeys.com Families response to a diagnosis of AD are: 1) they immediately want to place the loved one in a live-in care program; 2) or, they deny the diagnosis altogether in fear. And don’t deal with it. Most speakers and Michael Morgan suggested: Pick one thing to do to change. Start small. Start with something you know you can do. One thing to change in your diet, or how you move. Then add another a week or two later. Have a companion keeping track with you how you are doing. Have fun! So, what is my first thing? I’m curling my toes! I’m also attacking the inflammation in my body. My nose drips all the time. I purchased the equipment to do daily nasal washes. Now I just need to DO it!

Birds In The Park Look at the birds in our park! Are you taking advantage of seeing the wildlife in our creek? Besides the squirrels, racoons, skunks, opossums and roof rats that live in the park with us, we have flying visitors too. Thank you to Marianna Rapaport and Les Copeland for the bird pictures. I have never seen so many egrets at one time in our creek! And we have a wonderful supply of little songbirds! I have a standard size grapefruit tree that must have been planted in the ‘90’s. The tree is quite tall. It is right inside my front fence where I can open my dining room sliding door and screen and listen to the melodies they make. When the peregrine falcons fly over, the songbirds try to hide among the tree leaves. Right now the hawks and falcons have chased the little birds away, or eaten them! I am hopeful that next spring the music will begin again.

Last Friday Of The Month Suppers – Aug & Sept. Please join us on the last Friday of the month for our Supper Socials. We are in our 4th year.

SJ Rent Ordinance Fee on Feb 2026 Billing A resident’s relative, checking the rental receipts, ran across the Feb. 2026 statement. At the bottom it states: The SJ Rent Ordinance is being passed thru this month at a rate of half of $32.00, which equals $16.00. The resident checked with the office. What is this? The question couldn’t be answered. I was called. I went online to the City of San Jose. The San Jose Municipal Code lists the governing laws the City Council has put in place through the years to run our fair city. The divisions or sections are called Titles. When you plow through Title 1 – General Provisions, Title 2 – Administration, Title 3 – Personnel, and so on, you finally come to Title 17 – Building and Construction. Now it is 17.02, .04, 0.5, and so on. 17.12 is the City of San Jose Fire Code. Finally you come to 17.20 – Housing Code. Then 17.22 – Mobilehome Rent Ordinance. Part 1 – Purpose, Part 2 – Definitions. Then you go through Part 3 – to Part 8 – Fees. 17.22.920 - Payment of fee. A. The mobilehome park landlord shall pay the rental dispute fee for all of the landlord's rental units which are subject to this chapter on or before January 31 of each year. B. All payments shall be made to the city's director of finance. C. The mobilehome park landlord may pass one-half the amount of the rental dispute fee to the resident of each space which is subject to the fee, provided that the amount of the pass through is set forth as a line item which is separate from the base rent. This fee covers the expenses the city incurs if a park owner ops to file a fair return hearing. Monies are collected from all the parks.
