Science, Engineering & Technology Club Meeting
TOPIC: Digestive Health: from Cancer Prevention to Probiotics Monday, May 6, at 7 p.m. in the Caper Room, Atrium Building, 954 North Course Lane. There is no cost for guests; any resident of CA or Kings Point interested in science and technology is invited. Note that for this month only, we will meet on the first Monday of the month, not the second Monday. Did you know your digestive system has over 500 million neurons - more that five times the number of neurons in the spinal cord? During this talk, Dr. David Hormozdi will give an overview of the highly complex but often times overlooked gastrointestinal system. Participants will learn about the intricate balance between the gut and the brain, effects of diet and exercise on digestive health, and review the data on popular topics in enteric health such as probiotics. We will also cover the important topic of colon cancer prevention.
L to R: Gary Kimball and Fred Fiedler.

By Ilona Merritt The Security Patrol proudly sports a beautiful new sign at their La Jolla entrance. After all the overgrown bushes were pulled the new sign created and crafted by Captain Gary Kimball was put into place. Perhaps many of us may remember the blue and white plastic strips which members hung onto their personal lamppost to let the community know that they were active members of the Security Patrol. They were cut from white and blue acrylic by member Fred Fiedler, now Chief of the Patrol. When a new sign was needed Gary Kimball, Captain of team 30, and a member of the Sawdust Engineers, stepped up to the plate. He used the leftover acrylic and created the sign. It was a very challenging piece of work, to cut out the curves and letters out of the blue acrylic and then line everything evenly spaced onto the white acrylic. Many thanks to Gary Kimball, a hard job well done.
