opinion Sound Off I want you to know how much I enjoy your publication.

Although I still miss Slim’s column, I do enjoy Michael Grady’s wit and insights into the examined life.

I also enjoy the Widow’s Corner, the Bag Lady (Old Bag), and the crossword puzzle whose writer, I think, must actually live in Arizona considering some of the clues and answers. I also enjoy many of your articles. Personally, I don’t pay much attention to travel and cruise articles since I’m too poor and old to take part in those pastimes. And once, a few years back, I even won the trivia quiz and put the tickets in such a safe place I have yet to find them.

Even if I’d found them, I couldn’t have used them. I had no way to get to the Grand Canyon Railway. I used to hope that a restaurant meal for two would be offered. Sound Off is the first thing I read. I always read the Curmudgeon but save it for last because it gets my blood pressure up. It’s too bad Mr. Alexander can’t count his blessings and learn to enjoy his life after 50.—Helen Lederer

I am not from here, but I know a good thing when I read it, and the past two columns by Michael Grady were fantastic! Touching and funny—not easy to combine. My husband and I are still laughing about his column on running and his statement that when he saw a photo of himself completing a marathon, he looked like his father being electrocuted. Hilarious!

And we just lost our dog, so his recent column on “Things We Can Learn From Our Dogs” really hit home. Keep it up, Michael! (Disclaimer: this was not written by his mother! I have never met him.)—Cathy Callaway President Obama needs to answer the following questions: Where were you during the terrorist attack in Benghazi? Who gave the order to stand down and not send help? Why did you lie to the American people, blaming the attack on an antiMuslim video when you knew right from the start it was a terrorist attack and not a spontaneous demonstration?

During the Bin Laden takedown we all were subjected to pictures of you and Hillary in the “Situation Room.” Why did you not put as much importance on the Benghazi attack? The blood of four Americans was on their hands. They

n a special corner of heaven, the architects of the United States of America gathered on Independence Day for their annual evaluation of the nation they formed.

“Sorry to say, gentlemen, they’ve made a real mess of it,” said Thomas Jefferson, principal author of the Declaration of Independence.

“Our aim was to break away from a monarchy, not to replace it with a political ruling class as this newer bunch has done.”

“It’s upsetting,” commented John Adams. “Our idea was that a citizen would leave home to briefly serve the nation in government, not make a long career of it like they’re doing in Congress, and where they get rich in the process.”

“As I wrote in Common Sense,” said Thomas Paine, a monarchy is a preposterous thing. Over 200 years after we started our American experiment, these fools today have created a monstrous federal system of nearly three million bureaucrats.

That’s more than the entire population of our original 13 colonies!”

The originator of the nation’s financial system, Alexander Hamilton, was greatly disturbed.

“It’s abysmal,” he sighed. “They’ve recklessly gone $17 trillion in debt and continue to spend like inebriated British sailors, and their so-called public servants squander millions of dollars to entertain themselves without any regard for the purses of the taxpayers.”

need to be held accountable for what they did.

Will we ever know why Navy Seals from the minutes away Sigonella U.S. Navy base in Sicily were not deployed to help the Libyans defend the Benghazi embassy? I read that an Army Commando Unit was sent to Sigonella but did not deploy to Benghazi because “the team arrived at Sigonella after the attack was over,” according to U.S. officials. What was Obama doing that night? Getting ready for his next day of campaigning and fundraising in Las Vegas, so he just let others deal with the

crisis that led to the embassy deaths. Very sad such an incompetent man was elected president—not once, but twice, thanks in large part to the liberal mainstream media who failed to expose his past and to those who benefit from the welfare party!

“Their cavalier attitude reminds me of my friend Marie ‘Let them eat cake’ Antoinette,” said Benjamin Franklin, who spent considerable time in France. “The French have a reputation for being haughty, but the brazen arrogance of the little kings and queens in Washington these days makes my French pals seem humble.”

“What do you think about what’s going on in the capital they named after you, George?” asked Jefferson.

The first president of the United States appeared dismayed. “When we gave birth to our noble republic, we pledged to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Succeeding generations have lost sight of what we meant by those words.

Look at the lack of forthrightness, openness and personal responsibility by those now holding public office.

They have callously abandoned their countrymen stationed in an African outpost to a deadly enemy; they have used the power of their tax collection agency to suppress and persecute those who have opposing political views; they

are violating the First Amendment by spying on and intimidating journalists; and they are intruding in every aspect of American life. I warned them long ago that government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

“Alas, today’s Americans seem poorly informed about their Constitution and their history,” Franklin lamented. “I remind them that a nation of wellinformed people who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.”

Washington, in his general’s uniform, went down on one knee in prayer: “God save the American people—from themselves.”

The Widow’s Corner Ten Things

SEE WHAT’S WHAT’S NE NEW W AATT VQ GRAND OPENING - TUESDAY, JULY 2

: : by Terry Ratner, RN, MFA Terry Ratner’s son passed away at the age of 25 in a motorcycle accident.

T

hese are 10 things only you know now.

One: He joked that he would die young. You imagined 90 to 100. But “young” ended up meaning 25.

In the memory book the funeral home gave you, there was a page to record his exact age in years, months and days. You added hours, you even added minutes, because you had that information. Even though you weren’t there on the exact moment of death, you had the police report which stated the time of the accident. You also later obtained the autopsy which recorded the exact moment of resuscitation and the time when the nurses and doctors gave up and pronounced him officially to be dead.

Now, when thinking about his life, it seemed to you that minutes were so very important. There was that moment right after the phone call that you begged for 15 more minutes. You would’ve traded anything, everything, for just one more second, for the speck of time it would have taken to say his name, to hear him say “Mom.” Later, when you thought about it, because there was so much time to think, too little time, too much time—time was just one more thing you couldn’t make sense of anymore, you wondered why he told you he was going to die young. The first time he said that, you playfully punched his arm.

“Do not say that,” you said. “Don’t ever say that again.” But he said it another day and another and lots of days after that. And you punched his shoulder every time because it was bad luck, bad mental energy, but you knew he’d say it again.

Two: He was the little man around the house. When something broke, he could fix it. This began when he was 6 or 7. He’d receive a new watch for his birthday and within days dismantle it. You’d walk into his room and see tiny metal pieces scattered on a square of cardboard. And, yes, that watch

www.lovinlifeafter50.com

would be ticking soundly and keeping time after it was methodically put back together.

The dark wood cabinets in the kitchen were slammed closed by a family of four. It didn’t take much for a hinge to loosen or for the door to be cocked to one side. All you did was quietly say his name and ask him to bring his tools and repair it to a working state. One time, he had been summoned twice in one week to fix the same cabinet. He’d turn to you, wave his forefinger, as if he was the father, and scold you for being careless.

Three: You remember sitting on his bed with him for hours waiting for his dad, your ex-husband, to pick him up for the weekend. There he was, staring out his window, his small duffle bag next to him in front of the door, watching for the familiar car to pull up to the cul-de-sac. You both waited on his blue comforter, watching the outside shadows grow longer and an orange sun lowering in the western sky.

He cried the last hour and asked you, “Where is Dad?” Your eyes became moist and you didn’t know what to say except that you both loved him very much.

Four: He once had magical powers.

When he was 12, you could shuffle a deck of playing cards, and then pull one card out from the middle of the deck, concentrate on the number and suit while he closed his eyes and he’d identify the card each time. So you decided to find out if his powers of concentration stretched into answering questions he would know nothing about. You asked him, “What street did I live on when I was a child from the age of 4 to the age of 8?” Your eyes closed as you concentrated on the short four-letter word, never giving him a hint as to what it might be. After a silence of about 2 minutes he replied, “Bell” and you jumped up from the kitchen chair and clapped. Of course, you never took advantage of his special gift, except the one time you let him choose the numbers for a lottery ticket and won $50 for the family.

Ask the Old Bag Advice for the Over-50 Crowd

: : by Gayle M. Lagman-Creswick

D

ear Old Bag: My husband of 50 years and I have been vacationing together for that many years. It has been 50 years of pain. We get along OK at home, but when we get into the car, it is as if all our differences come to light. We cannot agree on when to stop, where to stop, where to stay, what points of interest to see, what to eat, etc. I have put up with it all this time, but I cannot do it anymore. I always gave in to him just to keep peace.

This year I gained some confidence and told him we were going to take separate vacations. I want to visit some old friends (which he would not enjoy anyway). He has not spoken to me since (which is not all bad). He wrote me a note and said I should ask The Old Bag what she thought. So here it is.—Signed, Rather Stay Home

PUBLISHING AUGUST 2013

ear Rather: It is kind of scary to think that The Old Bag is now between two arguing married people.

I wish he had said, “I will go by what The Old Bag says.” Please don’t hunt me down if you do not like my answer!

You and your spouse of 50 years have differences...quite a few of them. I suspect you are OK at home because you each do your own thing. Then you get in a space where you have to come to some agreement and it does not work. A vacation should be a time of fun and relaxation for both of you. If it is not, you should either take separate vacations or plan in great detail every stop you will take together. You should make a list of where you want to go and do and he should make a similar list. If you cannot each compromise, please take separate vacations. Let me know what you decide. Happy travels!—O.B.

ear Maid: I’m guessing from your letter that this is a second marriage and the children coming were from his first marriage. I agree that your husband should speak with his daughter, but I also see why he is reluctant because he is afraid they might not want to come again. I suggest you tell your husband that you are going to speak to his daughter. He may change his mind, but I doubt it. The trouble is that you should have spoken up a long time ago. Now it has become such an issue with you that you may have trouble having a low key talk with her without becoming angry. Without anger, say something like this: “I love it when you come to visit. I would like it very much if you would help me with chores while you are here, like I help you with chores when we visit you.” Believe it or not, there are people who do not want anyone in their kitchen. Maybe she is in need of an invitation. I hope she does not hit you over the head with the frying pan! Good luck.—O.B.

C

onfidential to People Pleaser: It is OK if everyone does not like you. Do not lose sleep over it. Your friends will not care. The others are not your friends.

Marge Charlton

True-life tales from some of Arizona’s most fascinating residents.

: : by Shanna Hogan

I

Marge Charlton

t was 1960 and Marge Charlton, then a 39-year-old grandmother, was rounding the last corner of the racetrack in Jerome. As she eased down on the brake of her Triumph TR3, suddenly her foot slid off the pedal.

“My foot slipped off the brake and onto the gas pedal,” she says. “I went zooming by the last corner and I won the race.”

It was the beginning of an unconventional 10-year racing career for the now 92-year-old great-great grandmother. This is Marge Charlton’s life story.

Born in Bisbee, Marge graduated high school when she was just 16 and earned an accounting degree. She married her husband Rex in 1941, when she was 19, and gave birth to their daughter a year later. Together she and Rex built a successful chain of six barbershops around the Valley, while Marge also worked as an accountant.

At the age of 39, on a whim, she decided to try out auto racing and was instantly hooked. She raced in events across Arizona and California, earning several trophies.

“I never crashed. One girl ran into me but I just kept going,” Marge says.

“It was really fun. That’s why I liked it.”

Although some members of Marge’s

family disapproved of her racing in a “men’s sport,” Rex always supported her career and often went with her to the races.

When Marge gave up racing in 1970, she and Rex took up competitive square dancing.

Then at the age of 50, Rex suffered a stroke. It took three years of rehabilitation before he eventually made a full recovery. They decided after that it was time to really start enjoying life.

“That’s when we decided if we earned a nickel we would spend a dime,” she says. “That’s when we started going on trips.”

They bought a mobile home and toured across the United States, Mexico and Canada. In addition, they took about a dozen trips to the Hawaiian islands and Europe.

Rex passed in 2004, after more than six decades of marriage. Marge, who had retired in Sun Lakes, recently moved to Tempe’s Friendship Village after she had problems with her eyesight.

When she reflects on her long life, Marge truly says she has no regrets.

“We enjoyed life. And we had a lot of friends and we had a lot of fun,” she says. “That’s what I think life is all about.”

Former Racecar Driver Age: 92 Secrets to a long life: “I go to exercise every single day. I just try and take care of myself.”

Innovations: In her more than nine decades, Marge has seen 17 different presidents and a slew of technological innovations from television to the Internet. “I don’t get shocked very easily.”

Family: Marge is a mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother. Her large family are all native Arizonans.

Racing: In addition to the Triumph TR3, her favorite racecar was an MG with a Volvo engine.

Do You Have Pain/Numbness/Tingling in the Feet/Legs???

A doctor has moved to Tucson that treats neuropathy (nerve problems), and his name is Dr Trent Freeman DC (Dr T). He has been treating Neuropathy for the last 10 years.

Maybe you have seen him interviewed on CBS by Steve Ochoa or during the Dr Oz show, maybe you saw him on NBC. He has brought this new treatment to persons suffering from neuropathy in Tucson. He uses two kinds of Light to stimulate the nerves to function better. He uses pulsed infrared technology that helps reduce the pain, and FDA approved cold lasers that help the cells function better. He offers his consultation for FREE. He looks at the interview time as a time for him to see if you have the type of neuropathy that he treats but more importantly, for you to interview him and see if he is someone that you would like to work with. His clinic is certified with the Neuropathy Treatment Centers of America and he has received advanced training in the treatment of neuropathy. There are fewer than 100 doctors in America that have received this advanced training in this type of therapy. Dr T looks at neuropathy as a thief that comes to your life and starts to steal from you. If you allow neuropathy to continue, it will steal your independence (driving, walking, balance) As Dr T says “Everyday we are having more success relieving neuropathy pain, WHY NOT YOU?” Give his office a call and schedule the FREE consultation and see if you qualify for this new therapy 520-445-6784.

Give him a call he may be able to change your life!

50 and

Fabulous

Embracing age doesn’t mean slowing down for these Arizona women

By Christina Caldwell

f real life was like a Dove commercial, every person would be considered physically beautiful, regardless of age, skin tone and size. But in reality, the media is sending the 50-andolder crowd plenty of messages about conventional beauty—and the answer isn’t frown lines and stretch marks, despite what marketing tools the Dove folks use.

What is beauty, according to those standards? It’s youth, says 56-year-old Raven Valdes, a marketing specialist and event planner. Valdes is a member of “50 and Fabulous,” a social club all about embracing hitting the big 5-0, and she’s not happy about the media’s emphasis on youth.

Pick up any magazine by the checkout and take a look at the young, beaming girl on the cover. Flip inside to the ads for wrinkle-reversing serums and night creams boasting massive results, all the while having a 30-something model as the face of the brand. You know that spread commending that aging actress on how great she looks?

What they’re really saying is how young she looks. And for every successful, “distinguished” leading man, there are dozens of “washed up” actresses.

Outside forces be damned. As the average American lifespan continues to rise, the 50-and-older set can still feel great, even as they age. Modern medicine and exercise science allow us to maintain a lengthy life and often that means looking youthful well into your older years, as the ladies of 50 and Fabulous know well.

The dozen women who comprise the Arizona social group know aging is about much more than maintaining a certain level of beauty (although there is something to be said for the confidence in looking great, Valdes says). It’s also about learning to live your life for you, finally coming into your own, and doing the things you enjoy with people you love to be around.

Valdes and her fellow club members get together at least once a week for drinks and dinners, often celebrating birthdays and indulging in the occasional “staycation” as a way to meet with like-minded ladies who are living well in their 50s, maintaining career, family and most of all, having fun with each other. Together, they offer insight into accepting age—and sometimes outright ignoring it. ...continues on page 20

50 and Fabulous ... from page 18

Name Your Own Age Thirty years ago, when the ladies of 50 and Fabulous were in their 20s, they readily admit the word that came to mind when they thought of a 50-yearold woman was “old.”

But today, Salpie Tatka, a petite 52-year-old makeup artist and cosmetology teacher with sassy shoulder length brown layers, doesn’t stop to think about how “old” she might be. In fact, she rarely has time to slow down at all. Between being a mother and running her own business, she doesn’t exactly have down time to dwell on her age. Even if she did, she wouldn’t want to.

“When you say it out loud, it makes it true,” Tatka says. “Then you start to feel that age.”

And feeling old just isn’t part of the 50 and Fabulous attitude. The ladies spend their time keeping active. They don’t have the space in their club for anyone who focuses on the negative side of aging. Instead, they’re open to anyone who has a positive attitude and is committed to enjoying life. For them, that doesn’t mean restricting themselves to “age-appropriate” activities.

nothing but a number, and it’s one the ladies don’t concern themselves with.

You won’t see these ladies playing Mahjongg anytime soon. Post-work Learning lessons drinks at Arizona’s hottest bars and Still, the ladies know there’s clubs are always in order. If it’s time to something to be said for the learning cool off by the pool during the summer, lessons that come as decades pass. there’s no need to wear a one-piece.

In your 20s, time seems infinite, For that matter, Valdes Valdes says. You’re says she’s never felt better more willing to waste about her body and your time on the things sexuality. In her 20s, she and people that don’t often had inhibitions and deserve it. You don’t reservations about the realize that life really is way her body looked. as short as those clichés With age, it’s easier to say. That means focusing know that things might on relationships that not always be perfect, but aren’t worth the energy, you’re always going to devoting your time to be you, so you might as activities that aren’t in well embrace it. Now is your best interest and the time to do and wear 52-year-old Salpie Tatka generally allocating time the things that make you says she doesn’t often to things that won’t pay feel great about yourself, mention her age because off in the long run. when she does, she begins Valdes says.

Lesson No. 1: Find The women of 50 and to feel it. what matters most.

Fabulous say they don’t see themselves As mothers, Tatka, Valdes and as 50. If she had to put a number on 50-year-old office manager Shari it, Tatka says she’d peg herself closer Brown know that family is important. to 40. (And honestly, she and the other Valdes had a child later than most, at ladies could easily pass for that.) As trite 42. Being the mother of a 14-year-old as the old saying might sound, age is doesn’t allow for slowing down, and it

really points out what’s most valuable as time goes on, she says. Striking the balance between caring for oneself and caring for children is crucial. When you have that perspective, what that other mother at your kid’s school says about you doesn’t seem to cut as deep.

Lesson No. 2: Skip the drama.

While the 50 and Fabulous ladies are full of physical and mental energy, they know their minds are no place for negative thoughts. For example, if a man isn’t treating you right, it’s time to say goodbye, Brown says. If a friend is talking behind your back, there’s no need for them to be a friend. Letting go of the activities and people that bring you down and cause you stress will allow for a much more fruitful and productive life, Valdes says. Plus, relieving that stress will keep you looking better for longer.

Lesson No. 3: Be more than just a pretty face.

Surely looking great is a confidence boost, but it’s not the only quality of a worthwhile person, Valdes notes.

“These days younger people think ‘All I have to be is hot and nothing else,’” she says. But caring about other people and how the world works and focusing on being an intelligent, successful

‘A Lady Never Reveals her Age’ Talking about your age does a lot more than unveil your true amount of years spent on the planet, Brown says. It helps other people pigeonhole and put you into a category you would never place yourself.

“When someone asks my age, it’s always like ‘Why do you want to know?’” Brown says.

It’s one thing if someone gets to know you first, but it’s another thing if a young man at a bar comes up to you to specifically ask your age. It’s even more insulting if they ask if you’re a “cougar”—one of those older women who “preys” on younger men. It’s the new term for “Mrs. Robinsons,” except with a higher hemline and more access to facial fillers.

Those labels are insulting, the group agrees, and it’s certainly not something they consider themselves. While they might date younger men, it isn’t necessarily a quality they’re looking for.

And they’re definitely not looking to “prey” on anyone, especially immature young men silly enough to approach a woman with such careless regard.

The ladies don’t have a problem with their actual number. It’s the way people treat you when they find out that’s the problem. Valdes has no issue telling people she’s 56. Instead she hopes to serve as inspiration for women who look down on themselves as the number creeps up with each passing year. She serves as living proof that women can be attractive, intelligent, successful and overall worthwhile, even as each birthday ticks that number up a notch.

Breaking Age Barriers When you take care of yourself, people will always be surprised by the year on your driver’s license. Each lady says keeping youthful is about blowing off stress, eating right and getting plenty of exercise. Each of the ladies workout on a regular basis, and Brown works-out every single day—a combination of weights, cardio, hiking, yoga, kickboxing and more. Keeping a healthy body isn’t only about restricting yourself, Valdes says, but it’s best to make sure the cake is only a “once in a while” thing.

Brown recalls watching a morning talk show where a fashion expert advised women older than 50 to never wear high heels. It just isn’t age appropriate, they said.

Considering the style choices of the 50 and Fabulous ladies, they’re not about to give up that extra amount of lift.

“That’s just ridiculous,” says the newly remarried blonde, who makes a habit of regularly wearing her favorite stilettos.

“Guess [what age group] can finally afford those Christian Louboutins?,” Valdes contests.

It’s true. Being 50 affords plenty advantages that the average 20-yearold college student doesn’t have a shot at, including not only designer shoes, but also increased confidence in just about every aspect of life, from looks to career. When you live 50 plus years in the same skin, you slowly become more content with it, despite what the media might say. But it’s really that contentedness in oneself that makes a woman 50-plus and fabulous, the ladies agree.

My husband and I are visiting Rhonda in her home, which is in a small village in the north woods of New Hampshire.

home Coffee Cakes Tips for making moving day easier Summertime : : by Jan D’Atri home

P

lanning out a big move across town requires a bit of organization.

Enlisting the help of friends and family, packing all of the belongings carefully into containers and once moved, finding homes for everything—the to-do list can go on and on.

Using your truck will make the move much easier, as you shuttle belongings— both large and small—from your old home into your new abode. Be sure your truck is equipped to handle the big move by scheduling a tune-up the week before and checking that all accessories like elastic cords are handy for use.

Also consider purchasing an ACCESS truck bed cover to help make your move easier by securing and protecting your belongings while they are in transit to your new home. Made of heavy-duty, double coated vinyl, the truck bed cover installs quickly and easily with a clamp-on installation and is designed specifically to fit your truck.

Put the following tips to good use in organizing your move, and be sure to reward your helpers for all the hard work they do when the day is done with a fun dinner out or a gift certificate for a favorite store.

• Secure parking: If your new home is on a busy city street or part of a large condominium complex, you will want to reserve parking for your truck ahead of time. Contact the association or the city and register for a parking permit to block off space in front of your new home for your moving day.

• Divide and conquer: Give your helpers tasks they can do unassisted.

Have one helper monitor the loading of your truck with boxes, making sure each is marked with its correlating final room destination. Another helper can be based at the new home, making certain all belongings end up in the proper rooms. If you have additional help, assign them the tasks of unpacking boxes—like

kitchen dishes. Put sticky notes on the cupboards where you want dishes to be located to make this task easier.

Having your helpers assigned to specific jobs allows you to handle any last-minute packing, or other jobs only you can handle.

• Keep your belongings secure en route: An ACCESS truck bed cover allows you to -close and lock the cover, both to keep smaller and expensive items from view, and to protect your household items from the elements in any season. This process of locking the cover allows you and your helpers the flexibility to leave the truck unattended while other items are being handled. But if you have taller items, simply roll back the cover in a matter of seconds so you can load furniture into the bed of the truck for a trip across town.

• Provide nourishment: Keep plenty of food and water available at both homes to provide fuel and nourishment for all workers. Also encourage short breaks to help keep energy levels going strong throughout the entire day.

• Encourage communications: Provide your helpers with cellphone numbers or two-way radios for a quick way to communicate during the day.

Keeping communications open allows for a quicker moving process, and also helps to prevent any confusion on where belongings will go once they arrive at the new house.

• Keep children and pets occupied: Having pets or small children around can distract your helpers, and potentially make it dangerous for everyone involved in the moving process. Consider hiring a babysitter or pet-sitter for the day, or ask a family member to watch over them during the moving process.

C

hildren are finding their way into the kitchen like never before, creating a first of its kind kids’ cooking craze. Summer is a fantastic time to head into the kitchen with them to bake up something simple and delicious!

A great place to start is with an easy coffee cake or two that may very well launch a kid’s love affair with baking.

The first recipe I’m sharing is a Quickie Coffee Cake that basically gets mixed together in a bowl and poured into a cake pan. It’s as simple and delicious as it gets.

The second recipe is a Yeast Bread Coffee Cake that I make in disposable paper baking rounds. (Available at stores like Sur La Table, ABC Cake Decorating Supplies in Phoenix and Sweet Basil Gourmetware and Cooking School in Scottsdale.) My young nieces have so much fun with this one because they get to poke all kinds of holes in the top of the coffee cakes so the butter and sugar pools, creating scrumptious hiding places of sugary, buttery yumminess. These you can make fresh and freeze some for later.

Kids will have a blast making these treats with you. But if the kid’s aren’t around, grab a mixing bowl and whisk away!

QUICKIE COFFEE CAKE

1 stick (1/2 cup) melted butter 1 egg 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Topping: 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon In a large mixing bowl, beat together melted butter, egg and milk until well blended. Add in sugar, flour, baking powder and salt, mixing well. Pour into greased 9 by 9-inch baking pan.

Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon

and sprinkle over mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes up clean.

YEAST BREAD COFFEE CAKE (Makes five cakes) 2 packages dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1 teaspoon sugar 2 cups milk 1/4 cup sugar 5-6 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs

Topping: 1 stick (1/2 cup) melted butter (to be divided between 5 cakes) 3/4 cup sugar (to be divided between 5 cakes) Directions: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and teaspoon of sugar.

Meanwhile, scald milk.

In a large bowl, pour scalded milk over 1/4 cup sugar to dissolve.

When yeast has doubled and milk has cooled to lukewarm, add yeast to milk and sugar mixture.

Stir in 2 cups of flour, mixing well. Place in a warm spot, cover and let rise for 30 minutes. (You can set the bowl in a pan of hot water for faster rising.) When doubled in size, add salt, two eggs, (beat in one at a time) and 3-4 cups of flour, mixing well. (Dough should be somewhat sticky.) Cover and again let rise for 30 minutes. Place dough on a floured surface and cut into five parts. With fingers, pat and stretch into greased coffee cake pans (8-inch rounds or squares.)

Let rise in pans for 30 minutes. Make little pokes and indentations on top of each cake so butter can pool. Pour 3 tablespoons melted butter over each cake and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 1520 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

Rigorous Study Says Gastric Bypass Surgery Safe and Effective to Control, Even Reverse, Diabetes : : by Kimberly Romo Tucson Medical Center Communication Specialist New research finds bariatric surgery not only helps people lose weight, but is also a more effective way to reduce or even reverse diabetes, compared to medication and lifestyle changes. The findings, which come from one of the most rigorous studies of its kind, could lead to changes in who qualifies for the surgery.

The yearlong study, done by the University of Minnesota, was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and shows gastric bypass can effectively treat diabetes in patients who are considered mild to moderately obese.

“We’re finding this especially true for patients with a lower Body Mass Index, who are about 50 to 70 pounds overweight,” said Tucson Medical Center bariatric surgeon Dr. Scott Welle.

“Our overall success rate is more effective with this patient population typically because they haven’t been diabetic as long as patients who are morbidly obese.”

Gastric bypass is the most common bariatric surgery.

During the procedure, the stomach is stapled to create a small pouch and attached to a lower part of the intestines. All bariatric surgeries performed at TMC are minimally invasive, and some are even done using the daVinci surgical robot.

Welle said the research corresponds with exactly what he and other bariatric surgeons have preached all along—that weight-loss surgery is an effective tool to getting diabetes under control and even having it go into remission.

“It’s a lot more common for people to come into my office saying they want to get off their diabetes medicine rather than wanting to lose the weight,” Welle said. “Losing the weight is just the bonus.”

Type 2 diabetes affects more than 20 million Americans. Most of these patients are overweight or obese, and are at a higher risk for heart disease and

www.lovinlifeafter50.com

stroke, among other things. Diabetes that is not controlled properly can damage the kidneys, eyes and blood vessels.

During the study, 22 out of the 60 patients in the surgery group experienced a complication. In the nonsurgical group, 15 of those 60 people also had a complication. No deaths were reported.

“When we say bariatric surgery is safe and effective, it truly is,” Welle said. “When you see high complication rates like this in a study, you need to really delve in and look at how strict they’re classifying their complications.”

Patients in the surgery group ended up using an average of three fewer medications than patients in the nonsurgical group.

“That’s medications for diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol,” Welle explained.

“It’s not just diabetes, rather the gamut of the metabolic syndrome that can be treated effectively with bariatric surgery.”

The amount of time from the consultation to the actual surgery day can range from two to eight months.

The pre-op workup is intense and includes a pre-authorization, prescreening process, psychological evaluation and nutritional counseling.

The surgery requires a one- to two-day hospital stay, and oftentimes patients are off their diabetes medication by the time they are discharged.

“Yes, it happens that quickly with metabolic procedures like gastric bypass,” Welle said. “A majority of my patients leave the hospital off their diabetes medication.”

Most patients resume their normal lifestyle in one to two weeks.

Since 2011, TMC has been a Bariatric Center of Excellence, an accreditation from the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program.

Beat the Burn of Heartburn The summertime is a great time to get together with family and friends. These times can often be ruined by heartburn, also known as acid reflux. Heartburn is a painful burning feeling just below or behind the breastbone. Normally when food enters the stomach, a band of muscle at the end of the esophagus closes off the esophagus. If this band does not close tightly enough, contents from the stomach can back up (reflux)

into the esophagus. This partly digested material can irritate the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms.

Almost everyone has heartburn sometimes and it can be difficult to know how to treat it correctly. There are many things you can do to prevent and treat this condition.

Prevention Below are several things you can do to prevent acid reflux:

Avoid trigger foods such as: caffeine, tomatoes, spicy foods, alcohol and carbonated beverages Avoid tobacco products Eat smaller meals Lose weight Avoid eating within 3-4 hours of bedtime Sleep with your head raised about 6 inches.

Do not lie down for at least a couple hours after eating Avoid tight fitting clothes around your midsection

ON MEDICARE PART B AND HAVE DIABETES?

New Medicare changes may limit where you can get your diabetes testing supplies. The good news is that diabetes testing supplies are available at every Walgreens along with: • Easy, direct billing of Medicare Part B and most supplemental insurance • A wide selection of major national brands • Convenient 90-day supplies

It’s easy to switch!

Visit your local Walgreens or call 888-380-8051.

Walgreens is an accredited Medicare Part B supplier of diabetes testing supplies.

Treatment There are many over-the-counter medications you can use to treat heartburn. You may feel overwhelmed with the number of choices available.

But, in reality, there are only three main types of heartburn medications: short acting, intermediate acting and long acting.

The short acting medications are known as antacids. They neutralize the acid in your stomach to prevent the burning symptoms. Antacids start working immediately, but their effects last only about 2-4 hours.

Therefore, if antacids are used to treat symptoms, frequent dosing throughout the day is often needed.

Antacids are recommended for patients with infrequent symptoms.

The intermediate acting medications, known as histamine blockers, do not start working as quickly as antacids but their effects last longer.

These medications require once to twice daily dosing, and should be the first choice for treating acid reflux in people who have persistent symptoms. Zantac® (ranitidine) and Pepcid® (famotidine) are a couple of the most common histamine blockers used.

Prilosec® and Prevacid® are the only two over-the-counter long acting heartburn medications. They are the most effective at improving symptoms.

The effects of these medications last about 24-48 hours, but they take the longest to start working, about two hours. However, it can take up to a couple of days for maximal effect.

These medications only require once daily dosing and should be used by individuals with frequent heartburn who are not adequately controlled with the shorter acting medications.

Generic Equivalents Walgreens generic products are as effective as the brand name products and are typically less expensive; so when choosing, you can select the Walgreens store brand to help you save money. Some examples of generic equivalents to acid reflux medications include: Walgreens Antacid Tablets (compare to Tums® active ingredient) Wal-Zan (compare to Zantac® active ingredient) Walgreens Omeprazole (compare to Prilosec® active ingredient) If you need help selecting the best treatment option, your Walgreens pharmacist is happy to help you get well and stay well.

That Which Hurts Can Help You : : By Ellie Kallal e’ve all done it. We work too long in the garden. We move furniture around. We start a new exercise program and push hard. We train for an upcoming competition and push the training envelope too far. We feel good, but tired when we finish. Then the next day, oh-h-h those muscles, we complain. “Hey, you’re not a kid of 45 anymore. You need to take it easier.”

The next day we experience Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. When we wake up sore, we may be tempted to simply take it really easy and just lie around and read or watch television for a day.

That kind of day is a real treat and sore muscles seem like a good excuse to take it. Well, if you leave the muscles alone, on day two you be a little more sore. However, you’ll probably start to feel better the next day and you’ll be right as rain in about six or seven days.

Of course, you probably can’t just lie around for six or seven days (I know I certainly can’t). So how can we recover more quickly?

A good massage can help. The gentle touch stimulates blood flow to the muscle, relaxing it. You can lessen the discomfort with each massage session. You can get a massage at some of the chains for as little as $39 for the first session. It can range from $40 to $100-plus.

Foam rollers work similarly, providing some of the relief of a massage. They are limited in their use to muscles that we can reach. The new tool called

W

“the Stick” works well, just as an oldfashioned rolling pin.

Of course you can take pain relievers. They don’t take the pain away completely, but makes it slightly less painful.

Stretching doesn’t really help.

Although it feels good while you do it, it doesn’t help the pain the rest of the day.

A really good, cheap way to relieve Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is to gently exercise it away. In a recent study, women exercised their shoulders to the point of straining. The next day, with sore shoulders, they exercised one shoulder and received massage on the other. The women all reported less pain after light exercise than with the massage. Total recovery time was reduced.

On a personal level, I have awakened with sore legs from hiking too far, lifting too much or overdoing housework. I have always found that a gentle, slow, walk loosens up the leg muscles. I’ve done the same thing with sore arms, gently exercising them.

This can be lifting very light weights, or polishing furniture. Using the old “Karate Kid” method of “wax on, wax off ” with furniture polish and a rag does wonders for releasing the tightness in shoulders and upper arms.

Just don’t get carried away and do the whole house at one time. “Too much housework” will make it sore, rather than help. Quit when you get nice and loose.

t’s so much easier just to remain the same. As Newton said: “A body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion.”

He may not have been referring to the human physique, but the law still applies. The longer a person remains sedentary, the harder it is to adopt a life of motion.

Books have been written, television programs have been produced and movies have been seen that tell the stories of people who have changed their own lives in some way. Many have overcome physical, mental or emotional challenges but they have persevered and gone on to achieve their goals.

How late is too late? If you want to be inspired to change, go to www.nsga.org and click on the “Health and Wellness” tab, then click on “Personal Best.” Read about men and women older than age 50, many of whom had no background in sports but who overcame Newton’s law and began to move.

The Arizona Lifelong Fitness Foundation would like to help you relearn what you knew as a child. Life is movement. Our world has made movement less and less necessary for us but we can choose to move more. Here are some practical steps to get you in motion:

1 2 3

Don’t look for the closest parking place—park a little farther out and walk.

Wash your own car.

Clean your own house

4 5 6 7 8 9

Do some gardening Take a 15-minute walk after breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Buy a ball, have some fun bouncing it around.

Grab a can of soup and do some arm curls while watching television.

Turn on some music and dance!

Call the ASO office and get the Del Webb Fitness Award brochure. Earn a badge in one activity.

Find a sport you enjoy doing and get involved. (Call the ASO office for places to learn and practice).

Remember, “a body in motion will tend to stay in motion.” What are you waiting for? Get moving!

ASO Wants to Hear From You

What in the World is ALFF?

‘Age of Champions’ some strange calls name. The Arizona Senior Olympics for the is the primary program of ALFF and Showings Begin Wesincehavethehadregistration 2013 ASO Games wrapped up.

People call to say that they had seen an unfamiliar name on their credit card statements. That name was the Arizona Lifelong Fitness Foundation.

So, what is ALFF? ALFF is an acronym for Arizona Lifelong Fitness Foundation and it is the legal name of the organization that produces the Arizona Senior Olympics.

In 2008, when the recession hit, the City of Phoenix had to cut many of the programs offered by its Parks and Recreation Department. One of those programs was Arizona Senior Olympics.

Because they did not want the program to disappear, the ASO Board of Directors formed a nonprofit, 501(c) (3) organization and gave it the ALFF

retains its former name, which is well known, especially to senior athletes.

In the future, there will be a separate website for ALFF but it will be linked to the ASO website. In addition to producing the annual Senior Olympic Games, ALFF will produce other programs and activities that relate to senior fitness. All ALFF programs will be on the new website and information relating to the annual games will remain on seniorgames.org.

You will be seeing the name Arizona Lifelong Fitness Foundation more and more in future months, but the Arizona Senior Olympics will remain the same. It is hoped that registration for the 2014 Games will begin Oct. 1 so Senior Olympians are urged to watch the website for the upcoming schedule.

S

howings of the outstanding documentary “Age of Champions” will begin this month. The film, produced

by Christopher Rufo and Keith Ochwat, has won awards at several film festivals and was shown on PBS in early June.

The film tells the story of five athletes and a women’s basketball team, all of whom are training for the national senior games. Those who have seen the film have been moved to change their way of thinking about aging. Some have been inspired to begin a more active lifestyle; some have decided to “get back in the game.”

The following is a list of showings.

Sonoran Plaza, 19753 N. Remington, Surprise.
