Helping 

Doctors Help 

Patients Stop 

Smoking 

(NAPS)— 

To help protect 

you and 

your family 

from tobacco-related 

death and disease, researchers 

from Legacy®, a national 

public health organization 

dedicated to building a world 

where anyone can quit smoking, 

recommend two actions: 

stop smoking or never start. If 

you do smoke or use tobacco, 

speak to your doctor about 

quitting smoking. 

A survey of more than 3,146 

adults in the U.S. conducted 

by Legacy discovered that 

more than one in 10 smokers 

have concealed their smoking 

status from a health care 

provider—nearly half of them 

stated it was because they are 

ashamed that they smoke. Another 

reason for not disclosing 

this important information to 

a medical professional: twothirds 

surveyed who did not 

disclose their smoking status 

reported not wanting to be lectured 

about smoking. 

Fortunately, health care professionals 

such as doctors, 

nurses, physician assistants, 

nurse practitioners, dentists 

and pharmacists can help 

smokers by bringing up the 

subject with patients. To assist 

with that, Legacy and Pfizer 

have developed a downloadable, 

user-friendly guide for 

health care providers to help 

them discuss smoking and tobacco 

use with their patients. 

Here are hints to help: 

• Talk openly about smoking. 

Ask every patient if they 

smoke. This may open the door

Judith Sheindlin 

Judith Sheindlin, better known 

as Judge Judy (born October 

21, 1942), is an American lawyer, 

judge, television personality, 

and author. Since 1996, 

Sheindlin has presided over 

her own syndicated courtroom 

show, Judge Judy, and is well 

known for her no-nonsense legal 

style and powerful personality, 

sharpness, and quick wit. 

Sheindlin passed the New 

York Bar examination in 1965, 

and became a prosecutor in the 

family court system. In 1982 

Mayor Ed Koch appointed her 

a judge, first in criminal court, 

then later as Manhattan’s supervising 

family court judge 

in 1986. 

Early life and 

education 

Sheindlin was born Judith Susan 

Blum on October 21, 1942 

to German-Jewish parents, 

Murray, a dentist, and Ethel 

Blum.[1] She described her 

father as “the greatest thing 

since sliced bread”, and her 

mother as “a meat and potatoes 

kind of gal. 

Sheindlin attended James 

Madison High School in 

Brooklyn before going on to 

American University in Washington, 

D.C., where she majored 

in government. She then 

enrolled at the Washington 

College of Law at American 

University where she was the 

only woman in a class of 126 

students. She finished her law 

school education at New York 

Law School, where she graduated 

in 1965. 

Marriages and family 

In 1964 Sheindlin married 

Ronald Levy, who later be- 

Sheindlin in 2010 

came a prosecutor in juvenile 

court; they moved together to 

New York and had two children.[1] 

The couple divorced 

in 1976 after 12 years of marriage. 

In 1977 she married Jerry 

Sheindlin, also a judge and 

also a divorcé. They divorced 

in 1990, partially as a result 

of the stress and struggles that 

Sheindlin incurred after her 

father’s death that same year. 

They remarried the following 

year. The Sheindlins have five 

children between the two of 

them as well as several grandchildren. 

Legal career 

Sheindlin passed the New 

York Bar Exam in 1965, the 

same year as her graduation, 

and was hired as a corporate 

lawyer for a cosmetics firm. 

Within two years she became 

dissatisfied with her job and 

left to raise her two children. 

She was soon made aware of a 

position in the New York court 

system as a prosecutor in the 

family courts. In her role as a 

lawyer Sheindlin prosecuted 

child abuse cases, domestic 

violence, and juvenile crime. 

By 1982 Sheindlin’s no-nonsense 

attitude inspired New 

York Mayor, Ed Koch, to appoint 

her as a judge in criminal 

court. Four years later she was 

promoted to supervising judge 

in the Manhattan division of 

the family court. She earned 

a reputation as a tough judge, 

notorious for fast decisionmaking 

and wise-cracking 

judgments. 

In February 1993 Sheindlin’s 

outspoken reputation made her 

the subject of a Los Angeles 

Times article, profiling her as 

a woman determined to make 

the court system work for the 

common good She subsequently 

was featured in a segment 

on CBS’s 60 Minutes, 

bringing her national recognition. 

This led to her first book, 

Don’t Pee on My Leg and Tell 

Me It’s Raining, published in 

1996. She retired as a criminal 

court judge that same year after 

hearing over 20,000 cases. 

After her retirement, Sheindlin 

continued to receive increasing 

amounts of public attention. 

Not long after her retirement 

in 1996, Sheindlin was approached 

about possibly starring 

in a new courtroom television 

program, featuring real 

cases with real rulings. She 

accepted the offer. 

Sheindlin’s syndicated courtroom 

series Judge Judy debuted 

on September 16, 1996. The 

show met with instant success 

and made Sheindlin a celebrity, 

becoming well known 

for her strict, no-nonsense attitude 

and wit. The program 

has been the number one court 

show since its debut, the only 

original show on television to 

increase its ratings yearly, and 

has integrated itself into American 

pop culture. 

The show’s ratings have been 

very high, averaging approximately 

10 million viewers 

daily It is especially popular 

among female viewers between 

the ages of 25 and 54. 

Author Brendan I. Koerner 

commented in regard to the 

popularity of Judge Judy: 

“Court-show viewers don’t 

seem to want moral conundrums 

or technical wrinkles. 

They love Sheindlin’s show because 

she offers them a fantasy 

of how they’d like the justice 

system to operate—swiftly, and 

without procedural mishaps or 

uppity lawyers. They get to see 

wrongdoers publicly humiliated 

by a strong authority figure. 

There is no uncertainty after 

Sheindlin renders her verdict 

and bounds off the bench, and 

there certainly are no lengthy 

appeals.[7]” 

Judge Judy stands next to 

a portrait of herself 

Sheindlin resides in Connecticut 

and New York, and travels 

to Florida in the winter. She 

commutes to Los Angeles every 

other week for two to four 

days to tape episodes of Judge 

Judy. Sheindlin extended her 

contract through 2012–13 (its 

17th season)[ due to high ratings 

as well as her belief that 

people are still engaged in the 

program. Sheindlin admits the 

show is “seductive” and hard 

to give up. Said Sheindlin, 

“I’m not tired. I still feel engaged 

by what I do and I still 

have people who like to watch 

it.In 2005 Sheindlin’s salary 

was US $25 million per year.] 

Her net worth at the beginning 

of 2007 was $95 million and 

she ranked number 13 on the 

Forbes magazine top 20 richest 

women in entertainment In 

February 2006, Sheindlin received 

a star on the Hollywood 

Walk of Fame. As a result of 

her stardom, she served as a 

judge for the 1999 Miss America 

Pageant References to 

Sheindlin as Judge Judy have 

appeared on TV shows including 

Will & Grace, NBC’s The 

Weakest Link, The Practice 

and the Academy Awards, as 

well as the book “America: A 

Citizen’s Guide to Democracy 

Inaction” by Jon Stewart, she 

has also appeared in numerous 

cable news interviews In 

December 2009 Sheindlin told 

the story of her life and career 

in Family Court, as well 

as “Judge Judy” and her published 

works in a two-hour 

interview for the Archive of 

American Television. In July 

2010 Sheindlin’s contract was 

renewed, so she now will receive 

$45 million per year to 

tape her show, which is currently 

the top rated daytime 

show in the US. On March 30, 

2011, Sheindlin was admitted 

to the hospital after she fainted 

on the set of her show. She was 

released the next day, and it is 

not known what caused her to 

faint.


Living Alone and Liking it 

By Susanna Starr 

When I returned 

to New York, 

after 33 years, 

to attend a wedding 

with my 

daughter, we 

were invited to 

stay with the 

one and only 

friend from 

those times that 

I had kept in contact with. She 

had visited me some years ago, 

and we had been in contact 

ever since. 

Jennifer was excited to know 

that we were planning on being 

in New York and enthusiastically 

and generously 

offered to pick us up at the 

airport on Long Island, take 

us to her home for a couple of 

nights and then send us off on 

the Long Island Railroad to the 

city where we would spend the 

next couple of days. 

The trip turned out to be so 

much better than I had anticipated 

and being back in a oncefamiliar 

environment was 

sweet. Having Jennifer pick 

us up when we returned from 

our city trip, taking us back to 

her house, 

meeting old 

friends for 

dinner, and 

then taking 

us to 

the airport 

the followingmorning 

was so 

supportive. 

And she smiled all the way 

through the visit, interspersed 

with laughter and good humor. 

Yes, being with Jennifer was a 

delight, but equally as delightful 

was seeing the life she had 

created for herself. Divorced 

from her husband for many 

years, she was completely relaxed 

and satisfied with the 

way her life had unfolded and 

with the decisions she had 

made. 

A former librarian, she was 

still actively involved with 

the library in her small town 

where she also worked as a 

volunteer. She lived practically 

in the center of this charming 

North Shore town located on 

Long Island Sound, which was 

quaint and attracted tourists as 

well as providing ferry trans-

portation across the Sound to 

Connecticut. Her house was 

small and easy to maintain and 

she had close-by access to the 

railroad when she wanted to 

visit her children in the city. 

Every year she traveled with 

friends to a different part of the 

world and seemed to thoroughly 

enjoy these trips. Another 

avid reader, she had lots of 

time to pursue her most enjoyable 

interest. It’s hard to think 

of her except for a smile on her 

face and laughter in her voice. 

She’d like to lose weight but 

feels that giving up her smoking 

habit was more important 

to her health. 

Of all the people I know, she 

seems to have eliminated the 

word “stress” from her vocabulary. 

Now, isn’t that a gift!!

Winter Colds 

By Jim McDevitt 

Everyone sooner or later gets 

a winter cold. Right now, as 

I speak with you I am fighting 

a head cold that is trying 

to kill me. I shouldn’t say this 

but I hate my cold. I really, really 

do. It’s personal between 

the cold and me. I go through 

boxes of Kleenex like ants go 

through food dropped on the 

ground at a picnic. 

I was on the checkout line today 

with my groceries when 

I started sneezing and blowing 

my nose. People left the 

line to avoid me like I was the 

walking plague. 

Years ago, when I was working 

in an office, one of my 

colleagues was sneezing and 

coughing just as I am. He was 

a new employee and we hit 

it off, becoming friends. He 

remarked how he wished he 

could get rid of his cold. Having 

a sense of humor, I turned 

to him saying, “You know 

John there is an old Irish remedy 

that works and it’s been 

used for years to cure a cold.” 

“What’s that,” he asked. 

Keeping my serious game face 

on, I said, “You take some 

Irish whiskey in a shot glass, 

tilt your head back and pour it 

down both nostrils, keeping it 

there for a full 30 seconds and 

it cures the cold.” The phone 

rang when I finished giving 

this advice and I answered it, 

forgetting completely about it. 

The next day John came to 

work looking and sounding 

worse. He sat down still 

coughing and sneezing and 

turned to me saying, “Jim, I 

tried your Irish remedy for my 

cold. It just about killed me. 

It burnt my sinuses but didn’t 

help.” I almost bit my tongue 

in two to prevent myself from 

erupting in laughter. 

After that event, I’m careful of 

what I say to anyone in jest. I 

just hope John doesn’t read 

this story because I never had 

the heart to tell him it was just 

a joke. 

There are good points about 

having a cold but you have to 

search long and hard to find 

them. One is my wife treats 

me as if I’m Typhoid Mary. 

No longer am I allowed in the 

kitchen. Everything I need is 

served to me. 

“I need some butter for my 

toast,” I say to myself as I prepare 

to get up and go to the refrigerator. 

“I’ll get it,” my wife says jumping 

up from her seat and into 

the kitchen to retrieve butter. I 

offer to unload the clean dishes 

from the dishwasher and I am 

told not to touch them. I offer 

to set the table for dinner and 

my wife says “No, no.” 

Previously, when I was well, 

I was pressed into service for 

these jobs. I answer the phone 

when it rings and when I am 

finished with the call and hang 

up, my wife comes over, picks 

up the phone, sprays a disinfecting 

spray all over the 

phone and wipes it clean. 

If someone were to invent a 

pill that gave a man the outward 

appearance of having a 

cold while actually not having 

one, he could become rich. It 

would be a pill for men only 

advertised as: “Guaranteed to 

keep you out of the kitchen. 

Side effects are no housework 

for the man of the house.”

February Book Club by Debbie L. Sklar 

There has never been a better time than this month to start reading a good 

book. Whether it is a good mystery that you like or something deeper, there 

are plenty to choose from. Here is a short list of some of the latest and 

greatest book finds.

name. 

It was nine days before Christ- 

mas 1998, and thirty-two-year- 

old Ronda Reynolds was get- 

ting ready to travel from Seattle 

to Spokane to visit her mother 

and brother and grandmother 

before the holidays. Ronda’s 

second marriage was dissolv- 

ing after less than a year, her 

career as a pioneering female 

Washington State Trooper had 

ended, but she was optimis- 

tic about starting over again. 

“I’m actually looking forward 

to getting on with my life,” 

she told her mother earlier the 

night before. “I just need a few 

days with you guys.” Barb 

Thompson, Ronda’s mother, 

who had met her daughter’s 

second husband only once be- 

fore, was just happy that Ron- 

da was coming home. 

“At 6:20 that morning, Ron 

Reynolds called 911 and told 

the dispatcher his wife was 

dead. She had committed 

suicide, he said, although he 

hadn’t heard the gunshot and 

he didn’t know if she had a 

pulse. EMTs arrived, detec- 

tives arrived, the coroner’s 

deputy arrived, and a post- 

mortem was conducted. Lewis 

County Coroner Terry Wilson, 

who neither visited the death 

scene nor attended the autopsy, 

declared the manner of Ron- 

da’s death as “undetermined.” 

Over the next eleven years, 

Coroner Wilson would change 

that manner of death from “un- 

determined” to “suicide,” back 

to “undetermined”—and then 

back to “suicide” again,” ac- 

cording to the publisher. 

A Universe from 

Nothing 

Why There Is 

Something Rather 

than Nothing 

By Lawrence M. Krauss 

Free Press Publishers 

“Lawrence Krauss’s provoca- 

tive answers to these and other 

timeless questions in a wildly 

popular lecture now on You- 

Tube have attracted almost a 

million viewers. The last of 

these questions in particular 

has been at the center of reli- 

gious and philosophical de- 

bates about the existence of 

God, and it’s the supposed 

counterargument to anyone 

who questions the need for 

God. As Krauss argues, sci- 

entists have, however, histori- 

cally focused on other, more 

pressing issues—such as figur- 

ing out how the universe actu- 

ally functions, which can ulti- 

mately help us to improve the 

quality of our lives,” according 

to the publisher.

Fat Eyes Can Make You Look Old 

By Abigail Aaronson 

Has anyone you known ever 

asked you, “Do my eyes look 

fat?” Probably not. So, why is 

there eyelid surgery? 

Actually, over time, fat does 

accumulate in that area. There 

is also a build-up of excess skin 

and muscle, which creates a 

droopy and puffy appearance. 

Fat can also contribute to bags 

under your eyes, which make 

you look perpetually sleepy. 

Look older or younger 

Your eyes are probably the 

biggest factor in whether you 

look older or younger than 

your age. Drooping, bags, and 

puffiness make you look older 

than your years, even if you’re 

just over 30. But, smooth, tight 

lids can take years off your 

face, and give you confidence 

about your appearance. 

What eyelid surgery 

won’t do 

Before electing to have this 

corrective procedure, there are 

two things that eyelid surgery 

will not do. 

The procedure can reduce 

droopiness and make you look 

younger, but it won’t get rid of 

“crow’s feet.” These wrinkles 

have a totally different cause, 

and if you want to get rid of 

them, you must use a method 

of wrinkle removal, such as 

Botox or supplements. 

Blepharoplasty 

In the medical world, eyelid 

surgery is called blepharoplasty. 

Before you decide to 

have this procedure, here are 

some basic things you should 

consider. 

Eyelid surgery won’t drastically 

alter your appearance. It is 

best for those whose eyes are 

droopy due to aging, or those 

for whom baggy eyes run in 

the family. 

Who’s at risk? 

If you have thyroid problems 

or any ocular medical disorders, 

blepharoplasty may be 

quite risky. Heart disease or 

circulation problems may also 

put you at risk. Be sure to tell 

your doctor everything during 

the consultation. 

The entire process takes up to 

three hours but rarely involves 

a hospital stay. A local anesthetic 

is usually used. 

The first step is your 

consultation 

This is very important. Tell 

your doctor exactly what you 

want done, and discuss with 

them what you can expect. 

Most importantly, follow your 

doctor’s orders about what you 

can eat, drink or do before the 

operation. 

Smokers 

Smokers will have to quit cold 

turkey for some period of time 

before the surgery. It is very 

important that you follow all 

of your doctor’s instructions 

carefully. 

Incisions 

Your doctor will probably perform 

the blepharoplasty there 

in the clinic. You will be put 

under local anesthetic. The 

doctor will make incisions just 

above and just below the upper 

and lower lids (depending 

on which procedure you are 

having) in a natural crease so 

that the scars will not be readily 

visible. 

Most surgeries involve removing 

extra skin and fat and trimming 

down the muscles. After 

this is finished, the doctor will 

suture the incisions and you 

will be ready to go. 

What to expect after 

the surgery 

After surgery, you may experience 

some soreness and swelling 

around the incision site. 

For this, your doctor will give 

you cold compresses and pain 

medications. You can usually 

return to normal activity in 

about 10 days. 

Within the first few days, you 

will be able to watch TV and 

do most things you regularly 

do, but contact wearers will 

have to wait longer before putting 

in lenses. 

Eyelid surgery plus 

Eyelid surgery is often used in 

conjunction with other types 

of plastic surgery, such as a 

brow lift or a face lift. Through 

a combination of methods, you 

can have a totally new facial 

appearance, and take years off 

your looks!

Every January, the extravaganza 

known as the Consumer 

Electronics Show (CES) in 

Las Vegas is a mecca of gadgetry 

expected to hit the retail 

shelves in the next 12 months. 

What I found, however, was far 

more exciting. Almost hidden 

behind the behemoth booths 

that occupy huge chunks of 

real estate on the show floor 

were scattered windows offering 

some spectacular views of 

what’s in store for the future. 

At auto shows, these windows 

are called “concept cars.” At 

CES, they are known as prototypes 

– mockups of products 

The Gizmo Geezer by Les Goldberg 

Consumer Electronic Show Offers Glimpse 

Into Gizmo Crystal Ball 

not quite ready for prime time. 

What will consumer electronics 

devices look like in the not 

too distant future? Join me for 

a words-eye tour: 

A must-see was the Quality 

of Life Technology 

Center exhibit, sponsored 

by Carnegie Mellon University 

and the University 

of Pittsburgh. The center’s 

purpose is to “transform 

lives in a large and 

growing segment of the 

population – people with 

reduced functionality due 

to aging or disability.” 

Here some examples: 

VibeAttire 

Takes listening to music, playing 

video games or watching 

movies to a new level by allowing 

you to feel the vibrations 

of sounds, as if you were 

at a live concert. A set of vibration 

motors are embedded 

or sewn into ordinary clothing 

and all you have to do is plug 

in your MP3 player or other 

mobile devices. VibeAttire is 

especially helpful for therapy 

and people with hearing loss. 

Romibo 

This is a pet-like, do-it-yourself 

toy robot kit designed for 

therapy to improve people’s 

emotional and social responses. 

It responds to touch, sound 

and presence, and users can 

change its appearance. It is 

mobile (you can take it anywhere), 

and is compatible with 

today’s standard hand-held 

Smartphones and personal 

computers. 

Health kiosk 

Carnegie Mellon scientists 

are working to create a homebased 

system for senior citizens 

to easily, conveniently 

and affordably collect their 

health vital measurements by 

themselves, and communicate 

them to their doctors when 

needed. Nothing to wear, just 

step in and step out and the information 

is collected, recorded 

and transmitted. 

dWellSense 

By attaching sensors to every 

day objects, like pillboxes, telephones, 

etc., that seniors use, 

valuable information can be 

gathered to help assess cognitive 

decline without the need 

of a clinician to provide input 

every day. 

Home Eploring 

Robot Butler 

Engineers are exploring ways 

for robots to provide physical 

assistance in the home. 

Seniors with mobility challenges 

can summon the robot 

to “fetch” items, like food or 

beverages from the refrigerator, 

a book from a shelf, or an 

item of clothing in a closet. 

DriveCap 

Engineers also are working on 

systems that will provide feedback 

to older drivers so they 

can be more aware of their 

own driving habits while offering 

guidance on vehicle operation. 

In addition, automated 

systems are being developed 

to give motor vehicles the 

ability to park safely in parking 

lots. 

And here’s something you can 

use right now to help you keep 

your New Year’s resolution to 

lose weight: 

iHealth Digital Scale 

Uses Bluetooth technology 

so you can weigh in from 

anywhere. With the iHealth 

Digital Scale App from Apple, 

it can read and record 

your weight on your iPod 

Touch, iPhone and iPad. You

February 

This month’s Senior Spotlight 

centers on Tom Berney, 55, a 

mail carrier by day, and a motorcycle 

lover in his off time. 

During his busy work days, 

one can see Berney in South 

County sorting and delivering 

mail and packages, but as soon 

as his shift is over, look out. 

He likes to jump on his motorcycle 

and ride into the sunset. 

Here’s a closer look at Berney 

who doesn’t let age get in his 

way. 

Q: Where were you born and 

raised? 

A: Scranton, PA 

Q: What is your full time job? 

A: My father moved the family 

to Capo Beach in 1959 to 

work at South Coast Hospital 

as one of the first doctors on 

staff. I went to San Clemente 

High School and Fullerton 

Junior College before working 

as a dental technician. After 

Spotlight 

Senior Spotlight of the Month 

by Debbie L. Sklar 

that, I joined the Civil Service 

as a letter carrier in 1989. I’ve 

worked for the US Post Office 

for 25 years. 

Q: What is the best part of your 

job? 

A: Getting to know my customers 

and taking pride in 

Civil Service work. 

Q: What keeps you young at 

heart? 

A: Keeping in good shape and 

riding my Triumph Scrambler. 

Also staying connected to my 

daughters and their friends, because 

the more you know what 

the latest trends are and if you 

engage in meaningful conversations, 

we all stay young and 

grow closer to each other. I 

also say to choose a belief and 

cultivate the God of your understanding. 

The God qualities 

will then become who you are, 

as we are all spiritual beings 

having a human experience 

and enjoying the here and now. 

Any advice I would give to anyone 

is to stay in the moment 

and live for today without any 

regrets of any past mistakes. 

Q: Tell us about your affection 

for motorcycles. 

A: My passion with motorcycles 

started when I was young 

and it still is a passion. I used 

to ride a dirt bike to high 

school through what we called 

the ‘tomato patch,’ an old farm 

field that went from Capistrano 

Beach to San Clemente. 

My passion for motorcycles 

was shared by my closest 

friends who still also ride. 

Q: Family? 

A: Single, dating a nice woman, 

and I have two daughters, 

19 and 22, and a cat named 

Sammy. 

Q: Where do you hope to be in 

five years? 

A: I hope to retire and move to 

a mountain community, but I 

love my job and don’t plan on 

leaving any time soon. 

Q: Any community volunteering? 

A: I had umpired high school 

teams and youth baseball for 

19 years, I hope to start again. 

Q: Spare time? 

A: I feel connected to my religious 

science teachings and 

continuously take classes 

Colon Cancer Screening 

Saves Lives, But Many 

People Don’t Get Tested 

(NAPS)—One in three people 

50 years old or older has not 

been screened for colon cancer, 

yet screening could help 

save their lives. This statistic 

is just one of the troubling 

findings of a na tional study by 

the Colon Cancer Alli ance, the 

leading national patient advocacy 

organization dedicated 

to increasing colon cancer 

screening rates and survivorship, 

and Quest Diagnostics, 

the world’s leading diagnostic 

testing company. The two 

organizations re cently teamed 

up to uncover the barriers that 

prevent people from being 

tested for colon cancer (also 

known as colo rectal cancer), 

the second-leading cause of 

cancer-related deaths in men 

and women in the U.S. 

Screening by colonoscopy, fecal 

immunochemical tests and 

other methods helps identify 

colon cancer in early stages 

when it is still highly treatable. 

For this reason, the American 

Cancer Society recommends 

screening for every man and 

woman of average risk, beginning 

at age 50. African 

Americans, smokers and anyone 

who has a family history 

or other risk factors should 

be tested even earlier. Yet the 

Colon Cancer Alliance/Quest 

Diagnostics study found that 

many people 50 and over are 

not being screened. Moreover, 

the barriers to screening 

ranged from the lack of recommendation 

for screening 

by a healthcare professional to 

time and cost constraints. The 

study also suggested that fear 

of the bowel preparation, side 

effects and anesthesia typically 

associated with colonoscopy 

are additional barriers. 

“Screening tests like a colonoscopy 

do a superb job of 

catching colon cancer in early, 

treatable stages,” said Jon R. 

Cohen, M.D., senior vice president 

and chief medical officer, 

Quest Diagnostics. “Unfortunately, 

some people re fuse to 

undergo these proven tests because 

they find them inconvenient 

and unpleasant. Other 

individuals simply do not understand 

the value of screening, 

in some cases because a 

healthcare professional has not 

talked to them about it.” 

The study also found that 80 

percent of respondents said 

they’d be more likely to be 

screened if a convenient blood 

test were available. Blood tests 

that detect the DNA of colon 

cancer tumors shed into the 

bloodstream are available in 

the U.S. and Europe, but have 

yet to be adopted into medical 

guidelines for screening. 

Quest Diagnostics offers its 

ColoVantage blood test to help 

physicians evaluate colon cancer 

risk in patients who refuse 

to undergo colonoscopy or 

other guideline-recommended 

tests. A positive test result requires 

further evaluation that 

may include colonoscopy. 

“Any death from colon cancer 

due to a failure to screen 

is a tragedy that could have 

been prevented,” said Andrew 

Spiegel, chief executive officer 

of the Colon Cancer Al- 



Showing Compassion For 

Community Cats 

(NAPS)—It is no secret that 

Americans love house cats. 

Research estimates that more 

than one-third of all U.S. 

households have one or more 

cats as pets. However, what 

may be less well known is 

that this affection does not end 

with house cats. 

Caring For Outdoor 

Cats 

“Americans care about outdoor 

cats, too, and want to 

help them,” said Becky Robinson, 

president of Alley Cat 

Allies, an advocacy group. 

“Research shows that 40 percent 

of Americans have fed a 

stray cat at least once in their 

lives. Millions provide this 

help every day, making sure 

the outdoor cats in their communities 

have food, water and 

simple shelter.” 

Most of these cats cannot be 

adopted into homes because 

they are not socialized to people. 

These cats are known as 

“feral” cats and are the same 

species as domestic cats, but 

are not accustomed to life indoors. 

Instead, they live outdoors 

in family groups called 

colonies. 

Science, said Robinson, shows 

feral cats can be just as healthy 

and live the same long lives as 

pet cats, content in their outdoor 

homes. 

The traditional response to 

feral cats is called “catch and 

kill.” More than 70 percent of 

all cats taken to animal pounds 

and shelters are killed there. 

For unadoptable feral cats, 

impoundment in a shelter almost 

always means a death 

sentence. This approach, say 

critics, is very costly and cruel, 

and it doesn’t work to control 

the cats’ numbers. 

A Better Approach 

In the past two decades, many 

communities across the country 

have rejected catch and 

kill in favor of Trap-Neuter- 

Return, a program that ends 

the breeding cycle humanely 

while respecting the cats’ natural 

life outdoors. 

Benefits Cited 

The experts at Alley Cat Allies 

say that communities that have 

embraced Trap-Neuter-Return 

see huge benefits. The cats 

are neutered, which means no 

more litters of kittens. They’re 

vaccinated, which broadens already 

successful public health 

efforts for rabies prevention. 

The cats also become better 

neighbors, because once they 

are returned to their colony, 

behaviors associated with mating 

cats—such as yowling and 

fighting—cease. Cats in Trap 

Neuter-Return programs have 

an “eartip”—a small portion 

of the left ear is removed while 

under anaesthesia—to indicate 

they’ve been neutered and 

vaccinated. 

According to Robinson, Trap- 

Neuter-Return respects Americans’ 

empathy for the four-legged 

creatures who share their 

neighborhoods. 

“We are an animal-loving 

society. Americans want 

compassionate and com-

Aspen, Colorado 

By Mel and Ronnie Greenberg 

Photos by Mel Greenberg 

Historic Aspen, a magically 

enchanting winter skiing 

mecca is on par with Europe’s 

finest. The presence of the surrounding 

magnificence of the 

mountains can be felt and seen 

on every corner of this legendary 

city. 

Aspen’s origins were sparked 

in 1879 when the cry of “silver” 

sent prospectors flocking 

across the Continental Divide 

into Ute City. By spring the 

city with its awe inspiring natural 

beauty, and stunning panorama 

of mountains, became 

known as Aspen. 

Rich silver ore, two railroads, 

and investments from wealthy 

entrepreneurs, turned Aspen 

into a boomtown. But boom 

turned to gloom in 1893, 

when gold replaced silver as 

the national standard. Mining 

declined and farming and 

ranching sustained the valley 

until the 1940s when it was 

re-invented as a ski town and 

cultural center. Over the years, 

the rich and famous made it a 

haven for upscale shops, and 

restaurants as well as luxury 

homes. 

Unpack Your Bags 

The Hotel Jerome an Auberge 

Resort has been Aspen’s crown 

jewel since 1889, when mogul 

Jerome B.Wheeler, built his 

posh European style hotel in 

the heart of downtown. Well, 

over a century later, it’s still 

said that, “if you haven’t been 

to the Jerome, you haven’t 

been to Aspen.” The 93 richly 

appointed guestrooms and 

spacious junior double, double 

king and one-bedroom suites 

offer special touches, including 

beds with down comforters, 

feather pillows, bathrobes, 

exceptionally roomy closets 

and oversized baths. 

The outdoor pool with a Jacuz 

zi on each end provides year 

round enjoyment. Tiles around 

the pool are heated, and 

there’s a hutch stocked with 

warm towels, robes and slippers. 

Other amenities include 

a video library, complimentary 

wireless and wired (high 

speed) Internet access, ski 

storage, spa tub and fitness facilities. 

Hotel Dining 

Enjoy breakfast and lunch 

in the relaxed atmosphere of 

Jacobs Corner located adjacent 

to the airy hallway that leads to 

the garden terrace. The menu 

has a choice of breakfast essentials, 

soups, salads, sandwiches 

and specialties with 

dishes ranging from traditional 

favorites to current culinary 

trends 

For lunch and dinner, The Garden 

Terrace offers distinctive 

American cuisine, seasonal regional 

specialties and Sunday 

brunch. 

The Library, marked by custom 

wallpaper, carpeting, draperies, 

oversized leather sofas and 

club chairs, is a sophisticated 

lounge that offers an abbreviated 

menu from all the venues. 

Featured are specialty coffee 

drinks, premium liquors, wine, 

port and an extensive selection 

of Scotch and cigars. 

The J-Bar, an authentic saloon 

ambiance with a brick and 

wood bar, has been Aspen’s favorite 

watering hole since the 

1890s. Lunch and dinner, plus 

beer, wine and cocktails are 

served at this après-ski hotspot 

that attracts a diverse mix of 

locals, tourists and celebrities. 

Take a Guided Tour of 

Historic Hotel Jerome 

Enjoy viewing the old photos 

and artifacts of the hotel that 

was a paragon of hospitality in 

1889. In its heyday, the Jerome 

was a modern marvel, boasting 

90 guestrooms, 15 bathrooms 

with indoor plumbing, hot 

and cold running water, steam 

heat, elevator and was fully 

lit by electricity. The “silver 

crash” sent the Jerome reeling 

until it was restored to its former 

glory in 1948. When it 

began attracting artists, avantgarde 

writers, and movie stars 

like Gary Cooper, Lana Turner, 

Hedy LaMarr and John 

“Duke” Wayne, the Jerome 

and Aspen were propelled onto 

the world’s celebrity map. In 

1985, restored once again, the 

historic Jerome was recognized 

as an exceptional example 

of mine camp architecture. 

Subsequent renovation projects 

have continuously taken 

place throughout the years. 

The Hotel Jerome an Auberge 

Resort is located at 300 East 

Main St. in Aspen. For reservations 

phone (800) 331-7213 

or www.hoteljerome.com. 

The hotel provides guests with 

complimentary transportation 

to and from the airport. Upon 

landing contact the hotel for 

pick up.

Ute Cemetery – In 1880 “Colonel” 

Kirby from Texas was the 

first prospector to die in Aspen 

and buried at was to become 

Ute Cemetery. Continued to 

be used by the town’s working 

class it is estimated that at 

least 200 graves are located on 

the site, over half of which are 

unmarked. In the late 1990s local 

residents urged the city to 

restore the cemetery. With well 

attended volunteer work it was 

completed in 2001. Two monuments 

dedicated to those who 

are buried at Ute Cemetery 

are installed at the entryway.

Guaranteed 

Income For Life 

by Valerie Schwait 

A recent study found that 

when retirees were essentially 

faced with a coin toss, where 

if it came up heads they’d win 

$100 and if it came up tails 

they’d lose $10, half of the retirees 

wouldn’t take the bet— 

even though the upside is 10 to 

0ne. This has strong implications 

for fixed annuities. The 

Founder and Owner 

first one is that a significant 

number of retirees won’t have 

anything to do with the stock 

market if they understand that 

money can be lost. The key 

here is the retiree understands 

that there is a risk of loss. 

The study also found the most 

convincing annuity message is 




Email 

jcampos@sunset-publishing.com 

Telephone 

(714) 975-6345 

“this product can help you remain 

independent throughout 

retirement because the money 

will never run out.” All in all, 

around 60 percent of retirees 

thought the independence and 

peace of mind that a lifetime of 

annuity income provides were 

worthwhile reasons to consider 

buying an annuity. 

Passing The Written 

DMV Test 

Are you worried 

about passing the 

written DMV test? 

According to the LA Times, 

you should be. They say that 

50% of the first time takers 

fail the test. That means that 

nearly 400,000 Californians 

fail the test every year. And 

if you are a senior citizen, you 

have to re-take that same test 

starting at age 70. 

For many people, reading a 

driver’s manual makes comprehending 

the rules of the 

road very difficult. That’s 

why Powell Productions, an 

Emmy awardwinning firm in 

Torrance, California, produced 

“Passing the Written DMV 

Test”. It’s an educational DVD 

that translates all the information 

found in the sometimes 

cumbersome Department of 

Motor Vehicles handbook into 

an easy 40-minute program 

that guarantees viewers will 

pass the written exam the first 

time they take it or their money 

back. 

The program can eliminate 

the frustration that comes with 

reading the driver’s manual, 

which normally takes both 

seniors and teenagers several 

days to read. By incorporating 

audio, visual and written cues 

throughout the program, viewers 

learn the driving information 

in a fast, fun and friendly 

manner. The program is based 

on California Law, but works 

for all 50 states and comes in 

English and Spanish. 

“There are several programs 

that help people understand 

the vehicle code. But in my

One of the great things about 

a physician paying a home 

visit is that you get personal, 

one-on-one service and who 

doesn’t want that? 

Imagine a doctor spending 

more than the standard 

5 minutes with you at home 

because he isn’t rushing from 

exam room to exam room. 

He can more closely focus 

on your medical needs that 

might range from diabetic 

wound care to Doppler imaging 

to checking the blood 

flow to your legs. 

And once he sees to all of 

your medical needs, he’ll 

leave with a smile and be 

back in a few weeks or soon-

We Come to You 

Our OC visiting physicians 

offer everything that a regular 

doctor’s office can do (see 

a wealth of services) but right 

in the confines of your own 

home-sweet-home. 

“We act as the patient’s primary 

care doctor,” said Seyedi. 

The team is comprised of 

two physicians, support staff 

members, and Drs. Seyedi 

and Jooryabi, who manage 

medical conditions including 

diabetes, osteoarthritis, 

high blood pressure, multiple 

sclerosis, heart disease, lung 

disease, and quadriplegia. 

Some patients come via referrals 

from nursing agencies 

or doctors, while others find 

us by word-of-mouth. The 

main requirement to use our 

services is that a patient must 

be either housebound or otherwise 

find it physically difficult 

to make it to a doctor’s 

appointment. Referrals, unless 

your insurance requires 

them, aren’t necessary. 

Another benefit is that they 

can see you quicker than they 

can at a traditional doctor’s 

office where you might have 

to wait weeks to get an appointment. 

“We see new patients within 

24 hours,” said Dr. Seyedi. 

She also notes that the service 

is covered by Medicare and 

most insurance providers. 

Happy Patients 

Patients like our service too, 

because of the ease of our athome 

physician visits. Sometimes 

these visits result in patients 

avoiding a hospital stay 

or being able to be discharged 

from the hospital sooner. Our 

doctors spend more than 15 

minutes with patients, typically 

45 minutes. 

For physicians, treating a patient 

at home lets them see 

the patient’s environment 

first hand and check to see if 

it is safe and healthy. 

“This service is very much 

under the radar, but it is 

available and we are happy to 

provide it to those in need,” 

said Dr. Seyedi. “We really 

can help patients get better 

sooner.”

Integrative Medicine: An Alternate Path to Better Health 

By Les Goldberg 

With Congress squabbling 

over how to combat the rising 

costs of Medicare and medic al 

insurance in general while attempting 

to slash the national 

debt, many seniors are joining 

all Americans in search 

of a better way to stay healthy 

and live longer. Their search is 

finding a solution in “integrative 

medicine.” 

What is it? Integrative medicine 

combines conventional 

Western medical practices 

with non-traditional therapies, 

including stress management, 

lifestyle changes, massage, 

herbal treatments, nutrition 

and nutritional supplements, 

acupuncture and much more. 

“The main difference between 

traditional medicine and integrative 

medicine,” according 

to Kevin Barrows, clinical director 

of the Osher Center of 

Integrative Medicine at the 

University of California, San 

Francisco, “is that the latter 

is designed to treat the whole 

person and not just the illness. 

The old thinking was, ‘You’re 

broken – now we’ll fix you.’ ” 

More and more people are 

switching to the integrative 

medicine approach. A recent 

national health survey showed 

that 42.8 percent of women, 

33.5 percent of men, and 

nearly 12 percent of children 

under 18 had used some kind 

of integrative medicine – without 

abandoning conventional 

medicine all together. 

Today, more than 20 percent 

of the nation’s hospitals offer 

IM, and medical schools 

throughout the country now 

offer courses in non-traditional 

therapies. And, certified IM 

physicians and therapists can 

be found in every community. 

In Southern California, a respected 

and experienced IM 

practitioner is Julian Whitaker, 

MD, founder of the Whitaker 

Wellness Institute and Medical 

Clinic at 4321 Birch St., Newport 

Beach. Since Dr. Whitaker’s 

facility opened in 1979, he 

has treated more than 40,000 

patients who either were looking 

to overcome serious health 

challenges such as heart disease, 

diabetes, hypertension or 

Parkinson’s disease or wanted 

to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 

“Many of our patients come 

to us because they hope to 

avoid recommended surgery 

or reduce their reliance on prescription 

drugs,” he says. “Still 

others simply want to adopt a 

healthier lifestyle within a 

structured and supportive environment.” 

Here’s how Dr. Whitaker approaches 

some of the most 

common medical issues: 

Weight Loss -- With more 

than 60 percent of Americans 

overweight or obese, Dr. Whitaker’s 

approach to weight 

loss goes beyond conventional 

medicine’s prescription of diet, 

exercise and weight loss drugs. 

“We emphasize not only exercise 

and caloric intake, but the 

type and quality of the food 

you eat, along with targeted 

therapies and supplements to 

boost metabolism.” 

Anti-aging – In addition to 

traditional anti-aging treatments, 

including drugs and/or 

surgery, the Whitaker clinic’s 

goal “is not to prolong life to 

some unrealistically advanced 

age, but to promote successful 

aging – staying healthy 

and functional up to the end of 

a long, productive life with a 

focus on proven natural therapies 

to prevent and minimize 

age-related diseases.” 

Diabetes – “For a type 1 diabetic…insulin 

is appropriate 

and necessary,” says Dr. Whitaker. 

“However, for the more 

than 90 percent of all diabetics 

who have type 2 diabetes, the 

problem isn’t with an insufficiency 

of insulin, but with the 

ability of the cells to properly 

utilize it. Taking prescription 

drugs can lead to high 

levels of insulin. This may 

result in lower blood sugar, ultimately 

increasing the risk of 

heart attack. “Our approach 

is twofold – we lower blood 

sugar levels to reduce risks of 

diabetic complications, and we 

focus on diet, exercise and targeted 

nutritional supplements 

that can actually improve insulin 

sensitivity.” 

Chronic pain – Instead of 

relying on conventional painkiller 

drugs and over-thecounter 

medication, the integrative 

medicine approach as 

practiced by Dr. Whitaker is 

to find the source of the pain, 

whether is stems from musculoskeletal 

problems, fibromyalgia, 

migraine, neuropathy 

or other conditions. “Rather 

than masking the pain,” he 

says, “we seek to relieve it 

by addressing the underlying 

causes.” 

Anxiety – According to Dr. 

Whitaker, the usual treatment 

for anxiety is a prescription 

tranquilizer such as Valium, 

Xanax, or even antidepressant 

drugs like Prozac and 

Paxil. “These drugs mask 

the symptoms…and do not 

address the underlying cause. 

Even worse, they can be addictive 

and cause serious side 

effects. Our natural therapeutic 

approach is more likely to 

provide long-term through a 

program that includes targeted 

dieting, exercise and nutritional 

supplements.” 

In a paper commissioned by 

the Institute of Medicine, it is 

reported that the “widespread 

implementation of an integrated 

medicine approach would 

fundamentally transform our 

nation’s current fragmented, 

inefficient, expensive and reactive 

‘sick care’ system to 

one that is more proactive, 

personal, efficient and appropriately 

focused on enhancing 

the health of each person and 

the population as a whole.” 

The report states that the number 

of U.S. physicians who are 

adopting the integrated medicine 

approach is growing rapidly 

as they rely more on teamwork, 

combine better physical 

and mental health services, utilize 

more non-physician practitioners 

for patient education 

and counseling and involve 

more complementary and alternative 

medicine practices. 

Helping Doctors 

Help Patients 

Stop Smoking 


This may open the door to successful 

intervention. 

Be positive and encouraging. 

Smokers are often dealing 

with shame or fear of quitting. 

Congratulate the smoker on 

the decision to quit and reiterate 

how you are there to help 

them on their journey. 

• Encourage smokers not to 

give up. Smoking is a chronic, 

relapsing medical condition; 

the average smoker tries to 

quit 6–9 times in their lifetime. 

Remind smokers that quitting 

is difficult, but can be attainable. 

• Make sure smokers understand 

smoking for what it really 

is: a treatable medical condition. 

• Suggest patients consider evidence-based 

treatments, such 

as over-the-counter or prescription 

medications, and refer 

them to counseling to help 

them quit. Patients can call 

the national toll-free quitline, 

(800)-QUIT-NOW, for free 

counseling or seek help from 

no-cost websites such as www. 

BecomeAnEX.org. 

• Arrange followup contact 

as necessary to try to prevent 

relapse. More than 45 million 

Americans currently smoke 

and an estimated 70 percent 

of them want to quit, but lack 

the tools to do so. Committing 

to quit is the crucial first step 

toward becoming smoke free. 

Speaking with your health care 

provider can help you during 

this process. 

Most smokers want to quit. 

Their doctors can help.

Good News For 

Pet Lovers Can 

Get Better 

(NAPS)—There’s good news 

for people who love animals. 

The percentage of dogs and 

cats in homes adopted from 

shelters and rescue groups has 

risen from 27 to 29 percent in 

the last few years, while the 

number of healthy and treatable 

pets losing their lives for 

lack of a home has dropped 

from 3 million to 2.7 million. 

It would be even better news 

if that number dropped to zero. 

That’s the goal of The Shelter 

Pet Project, the national PSA 

campaign to encourage pet 

lovers to make shelters the first 

choice and desired way for acquiring 

companion animals. 

The television, radio, print, 

outdoor and Web public service 

ads direct audiences to 

visit www.theshelterpetproject.org, 

where they can search 

for a pet from a local shelter 

or rescue group, read adoption 

success stories and learn more 

about pet adoption. 

Approximately 17 million people 

will acquire a pet within 

the next year, but many remain 

undecided where they will acquire 

their pet. “Pets end up 

in shelters through no fault 

of their own—they are often 

victims of circumstance,” 

said Wayne Pacelle, president 

and CEO of The Humane Society 

of the United States. “If 



Spreading Love on Many Levels 

By Carine Nadel 

There are many people 

who are considered to be “Renaissance” 

in nature but Jeanne 

Sanner has the background to 

prove the claim. 

Holding a Bachelor’s degree 

in psychology, a Master’s in 

secondary education and a 

Doctorate in spiritual studies is 

only the beginning. 

Sanner also owns her own acting 

studio, has held leads in 

Summer Stock musicals, directed 

many of the old pros 

productions, she is an orchestra 

leader and a sought after motivational 

speaker, teaches and 

coaches acting, volunteers at a 

local hospital, written a Barnes 

and Noble best seller (“The 

Spirit of Unconditional Love: 

A Handbook”) and is launching 

her new book during the 

next SOUL Club meeting. The 

title on this latest endeavor is 

“Finding Unconditional Love 

A Little “Peace” At a Time.” 

SOUL stands for: Students of 

Unconditional Love. Sanner 

talked with me about her life. 

CN: Of all your talents, do you 

have a favorite? 

JS: I love, in a different way, 

everything I do. I like to say 

that there is a core nucleus to 

what I do, and the hope is that 

what I do will be of benefit to 

everyone is some way. 

CN: Your new book, do you 

consider it to be a sequel to 

your bestseller? 

JS: The two books are very 

different. The first book was 

more academic. My second 

book is much more personal. 

I share my personal experiences, 

and then I talk about how 

my spiritual philosophy helped 

me deal with the events in my 

life. 

CN: On the Old Pros site, your 

bio states that you don’t know 

what retirement means. Let’s 

say you had to slow down, 

what would you cut out? 

JS: That depends on what was 

causing the slowdown! If it 

was a physical health reason, 

I could still write. Depending 

on the role, I could still act 

and probably teach. Directing 

is very physically demanding, 

so that might be the area. My 

volunteering I could still do. 

I’d like to think that as long 

as I have an avenue in which 

to give and help others I’ll be 

fine. 

CN: What has been the best 

decade of your life and why? 

How did it play into your new 

book? You talk about some 

very difficult experiences 

through anecdotes and relate 

them to viewpoints are you 

glad you included them. 

JS: Every decade has its own 

beauty. Even during some 

of the darker days in my life, 

my opportunity to teach high 

school and college gave me 

great joy. I talk about some 

very personal happenings. 

Right from page one where 

I talk about trying to end my 

life and only because the gun 

jammed am I still here. I do 

not consider the writing of the 

book cathartic since I had resolved 

the issues by the time I 

wrote the book, but taking the 

time to reflect upon the past 

was enlightening. 

CN: Tell us about the creation 

of SOUL. 

JS: About 8 years ago, I wanted 

to start an online church. 

I had the license, I wanted 

to help others and found that 

what I was missing was seeing 

and ministering to actual 

people! It was like that children’s 

finger gamehere’s the 

church, here’s the steeple, 

open the doors and WHERE 

WERE ALL THE PEOPLE? 

It seemed silly, so I first wrote 

the book, then I thought my 

idea would make a great club 

here in the Village. It was a 

way to encourage everyone to 

seek out their spiritual lives. 

SOUL sponsors the class I 

teach called A Course in Miracles. 

We all come and discuss 

our lives, our experiences, how 

spirituality and unconditional 

love help us accept ourselves, 

others and get us to grow. 

CN: Who has been the most 

influential person in your life? 

JS: I can’t limit it to one. I’d 

have to say three. Because of 

the abuse at my father’s hand, 

I’d have to say he was significant 

because for me to forgive 

him was quite the challenge. 

But it was either I forgave him 

or become a victim. I will never 

be a victim; I will always be 

a victor. 

That’s what I hope people will 

get out of my new book- that 

we can all say we’ve come 

out as victors. That we are all 

more than our physical beings 

and we all are infinite in our 

ability to love unconditionally. 

My mom was a positive influence 

because of her strength 

and character. 

The most influential though is 

my partner of 33 years, Laura 

Flynn. She truly taught me the 

most about unconditional love 

and has supported me throughout 

all of my ups and downs, 

highs and lows. 

CN: Do you have a personal 

motto or mantra? 

JS: In a way, there’s a song 

that ends with “Reach out and 

touch somebody’s hand.” I’d 

like to think we can give something 

positive to all those we 

encounter. 

For those interested you

Good News For 

Pet Lovers Can 

Get Better 


enough people in our nation 

choose adoption, we can eliminate 

the euthanasia of healthy 

and treatable pets in our country.” 

The campaign hopes to encourage 

people to adopt from 

shelters by explaining that “A 

person is the best thing to happen 

to a shelter pet.” 

The Shelter Pet Project is the 

first animal welfare campaign 

that the Ad Council has undertaken 

in its 60-year history. 

The campaign was taken on in 

partnership with The Humane 

Society of the United States 

and Maddie’s Fund®. 

According to Maddie’s Fund 

president Rich Avanzino, “We 

are hopeful that the new ads 

will also inspire the 14 million 

animal lovers who have 

already adopted to tell their 

friends why shelters are the 

first and best places to go for a 

new four-legged family member.” 

The ads, created pro bono by 

Draftfcb, focus on the relationship 

between shelter pets 

and their owners by featuring 

pets observing their humans’ 

quirky yet lovable behaviors. 

“We are confident that the optimism 

of our message will 

resonate with the millions of 

potential adopters who are still 

out there and bring us even 

closer to our goal,” said Nick 

Paul, EVP, global chief growth 

officer, Draftfcb. 

Each year, approximately 4 

million pets are adopted.

Celebrate The Sandwich 

By Baking Delicious Bread 

(NAPS)—This year, sandwich 

lovers are celebrating 

the 250th anniversary of this 

handy, delicious meal. Since 

the best sandwich starts with 

homemade bread, the best way 

to launch any celebration is to 

bake some bread. 

The 250th anniversary only 

marks the naming of this classic 

meal. Bread has been eaten 

with meat or vegetables since 

Neo lithic times. During the 

Middle Ages, slabs of bread, 

called trench ers, were used as 

plates. Eventually, the sandwich 

ap peared as a late-night 

meal among the aristocracy. 

The meal was named after 

John Montagu, 4th Earl of 

Sandwich, an 18th century 

English aristocrat, who in 

1762 ordered his valet to bring 

him meat tucked between 

bread. Others began to order 

“the same as Sandwich!” 

Here is a recipe to help you enjoy 

some classic sandwiches. 

The whole wheat bread works 

well with peanut butter and 

jelly. The recipe uses Fleischmann’s 

RapidRise Yeast, 

which reduces rising time by 

as much as 50 percent, eliminating 

the first rise. 

100% Whole Wheat Bread 

Makes: 2 loaves 

Prep time: 30 minutes 

Proof time: 30 to 60 minutes 

Bake time: 35 to 45 minutes 

8 to 81⁄2 cups whole wheat 

flour 

2 envelopes Fleischmann’s® 

RapidRise Yeast 

2½ teaspoons salt 

22⁄3 cups water 

2⁄3 cup milk 

1⁄4 cup honey 

1⁄4 cup vegetable oil 

1⁄2 cup wheat bran 

Combine 31⁄2 cups flour, undissolved 

yeast and salt in a 

large mixing bowl. Heat water, 

milk, honey and oil until very 

warm (120˚ to 130˚F). Gradually 

add to flour mixture; beat 2 

minutes at medium speed with 

electric mixer, scraping bowl 

occasionally. Add 1 cup flour 

and wheat bran; beat 2 minutes 

at high speed, scraping bowl 

occasionally. With spoon, stir 

in enough re maining flour to 

make soft dough. 

Knead on lightly floured surface 

until smooth and elastic, 

about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover 

dough and let rest 10 minutes. 

Divide dough in half. Roll 

each half to 12 x 7-inch rectangle. 

Beginning at short end of 

each rectangle, roll up tightly 

as for jelly roll. Pinch seams 

and ends to seal. Place, seam 

sides down, in 2 greased 81⁄2 x 

41⁄2inch loaf pans. Cover; let 

rise in warm, draft-free place 

until doubled in size, about 

30 to 60 minutes. Bake in preheated 

375˚F oven for 35 to 45 

minutes or until done. Remove 

from pans; let cool on wire 

racks. (Note: To test for doneness, 

internal temperature of 

bread should register 190˚F in 

center of loaf.)

Don’t Pay For A Purebred—Adopt One 

(NAPS)—Are you looking for 

a certain kind of furry family 

member? Consider adoption 

as an option. Despite popular 

belief, not all pets needing 

homes are mixed breeds. 

In fact, as many as 25 percent 

of the 8 million dogs and cats 

in the care of animal welfare 

agencies are recognizable 

breeds. All kinds of pets end 

up homeless for a variety of 

reasons—frequent ly due to 

“people issues” rather than 

problems with the pets themselves. 

As a result, local animal 

shelters and breedspecific 

rescue groups are great options 

for people interested in adding 

a specific breed of pet to their

family. 

For example, when Destini 

Hollis decided to get a dog, 

she had her heart set on a 

Bouvier des Flandres, a large 

dog originally bred in Belgium. 

Rather than turning to 

a breeder, Destini sought out 

rescue groups that specialized 

in caring for homeless dogs 

of her preferred breed. She 

soon found her match: Baku, a

113-pound gentle giant whose 

family could not keep him in 

their small apartment. 

“We did our research,” Destini 

said, “and we found exactly 

what we wanted. I highly recommend 

searching out a purebred 

rescue group if you want 

a specific type of dog.” 

Narrowing down your options 

can be tough, but some online 

tools can help prospective 

pet parents with their search 

for the right pet and the right 

adoption agency. The PetSmart 

Charities Adoptable Pet Locator, 

found on its People Saving 

Pets website (www.people- 

A V I N 

N E L T 

savingpets.org), allows you to 

search for local adoptable pets 

based on criteria such as size, 

gender and breed. 

Many homeless pets end up 

that way because their original 

owners couldn’t provide what 

they needed. Every breed has 

websites that can help you find 

the right match for you. Here 

are some basic criteria to consider: 

1. Space—Some pets do 

just fine in an apartment; others 

need more room. Energy is 

the key, rather than size. Many 

large-dog breeds spend lots of 

time sleeping and are content 

with daily outings and play, 

while some small and medium 

breeds need more opportunities 

to run and explore. 

2. Time and energy—Herding, 

hunting and other types 

of dogs— and several cat 

breeds—need to keep their 

brains and bodies busy. Some 

others are napping professionals. 

The time needed for training, 

attention, play and outings 

can vary depending on breed 

type. 

3. Coat—Some dog and cat 

breeds must be professionally 

groomed to stay healthy and 

to keep you happy. Almost 

all dogs and cats shed, so ask 

yourself how much hair you 

are ready to handle. 

Most pets available through 

adoption come spayed or neutered, 

vaccinated, licensed and 

often microchipped for a very 

affordable adoption fee. You 

can find a listing of local adoption 

agencies by using your 

zip code to search on www. 

peoplesavingpets.org. 

Purebred pets are available at 

animal shelters. 

Making 

Resolutions An 

Achievable 

Reality 

(NAPS)—Most resolutions focus 

on living a healthier life— 

eating healthier, exercising 

more or being less stressed— 

but attempts to achieve that 

goal can lead to more stress 

and less success, found a recent 

survey by Braun Research. 

According to the survey, about 

one in five women (19 percent) 

admit they were not successful 

in sticking to their resolution 

to eat healthier and more than 

a third of women (36 percent) 

were not successful in attempting 

to exercise more. 

Two in five women (42 percent) 

admit they were not able 

to reduce their stress levels. 

Less than half of women (45 

percent) stuck to their resolutions 

for three months or less 

while one in five (20 percent) 

only stuck to their resolutions 

for a month or less. 

Breaking such goals into more 

manageable steps may be the 

key, says Kathy Freston, author 

of “Healthy Living Conscious 

Eating.” Keeping it simple can 

make healthier eating a reality. 

She suggests these tips: 



Your Body Reflects the Stories in Your Life 

By Pat Samples 

Our bodies are a great source of stories. Hidden in 

our muscles and corpuscles is a record of all our 

experiences and what we have made of them – the 

stories of our lives. Indeed, our bodies have been 

shaped, in part, by these stories. 

Cause and effect 

If we’ve been beaten down 

often enough, physically or 

otherwise, our chest may have 

a caved-in tendency or it may 

stick out in perpetual defiance. 

If we’ve “held our tongue” like 

we were taught in childhood, 

we may experience TMJ in our 

later years. If “hurry up” was 

our family’s mantra, as it was 

in mine, a tendency to rush 

and its accompanying tension 

may take up residence in our 

neck and tummy muscles, and 

more than the needed amount 

of adrenaline and cortisol will 

regularly overwhelm our bodies. 

Rewriting our stories 

This massive archive in our 

somatic library is available for 

24-hour checkout. The longer 

we live, the more it seems to 

invite us in for a look. But we 

can also take notice of what’s 

on the shelf before pain and 

illness strike, if we choose, 

and find some very interesting 

reading. We can even rewrite 

some of the stories, potentially 

reshaping our identities and 

our lives. This activity is especially 

powerful when shared in 

community. 

A freedom to live by 

choice 

In a course I teach, called 

“Writing Your Own Permission 

Slip,” participants pay at- 

tention to their bodies through 

reflective and playful activities, 

and then do some writing 

to discover the stories living 

there. Once on paper, the stories 

become artifacts, separate 

from the writer, and open to revision. 

A new freedom to live 

by choice, rather than by circumstance, 

emerges. 

Dusting off the body’s 

hidden story 

A retired engineer in his early 

60s had lost all sense of joy 

or pleasure. His only remaining 

destiny, as he saw it, was 

to care for his wife who had 

Alzheimer’s. This was obvious 

in his sober expression 

and stiff torso, A therapist had 

diagnosed depression. In this 

man’s case, his body’s hidden 

story of playfulness and creativity 

was dusty on a basement 

shelf in the more remote corner 

of his personal library. In 

fact, he said he had never really 

played in his life, because 

he had to do farm chores and 

field work from his earliest 

years. 

Re-activating the 

senses 

In the class, we played catch 

and made faces and did other 

activities that re-activated the 

sensations and movement of 

childhood pleasures. At first, 

this man was quite stiff and 

couldn’t recall having had 

such experiences, but his body 

had not forgotten. 

The feeling of connecting bat 

to ball or of running from “tag, 

you’re it” never goes away. 

Soon, as the class acted out 

one member’s wildest dream 

— a fun fantasy of being 

queen of the jungle, the man 

with the no-play memory was 

on all fours at her side, purring 

playfully in loud tiger style. 

His ability play imaginatively 

with others had come back to 

life. By the end of the class, 

he had remembered the fun of 

playing in his school band and 

decided it was time to take up 

guitar lessons. He also made 

plans to find a tai chi class. 

Our bodies, when 

attended to, have 

much to tell us that 

will free us 

Another student in the class, 

who had suffered considerable 

discomfort for many 

years from breast enhancement, 

found the courage to 

reverse the surgery. In a class 

writing exercise, she asked her 

breasts to tell her their wishes. 

After listening inwardly for 

their response, she wrote out 

their passionate request to be 

returned to their original size. 

In a circle of people who were 

honoring the history and wisdom 

of their bodies, she found 

the support to write a new 

chapter in her body’s story. 

Tapping into the 

body’s hidden wisdom 

and healing stories 

You can tap into the wisdom 

and healing stories in your 

body’s library. Try this exercise 

suggested in my book, 

Body Odyssey: Lessons from 

the Bones and Belly: 

“Make a list of your chronic 

body ailments. Choose one 

of them. Give it a name and 

a personality. (One friend of 

mine called her tumor Penelope.) 

Write, dance, act out, or 

tell the story of your ailment 

from the point of view of the 

personality you choose. If you 

can share this expression with 

a circle of the caring people in 

your life, all the better.” You 

may be surprised at the fresh 

take you’ll get on your condition. 

Pat Samples, MA, MFA, 

newest book, Body Odyssey: 

Lessons from the Bones and 

Belly, offers a new view of the 

aging body as a remarkable 

resource filled with stories we 

can learn from. www.bodyodyssey.biz.

Making 

Resolutions An 

Achievable 

Reality 


Switch out milk for Silk in 

your cereal. Whenever you 

have cereal for breakfast, try 

switching delicious Silk® 

Pure Almond® Vanilla Almondmilk 

for your typical 

dairy milk. Not only will your 

hearty breakfast help keep you 

satisfied, but you’ll also enjoy 

an excellent source of calcium, 

vitamins D, B12 and antioxidant 

vitamin E. 

Eat an apple a day. Apples 

are rich in dietary fiber and a 

lower-calorie snack that can 

help fill you up. According to 

the USDA nutrient database, 

apples are low in sodium and 

contain a variety of essential 

nutrients including B vitamins, 

vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium 

and other minerals. 

Eat them chopped, whole or 

sliced but not juiced, as juice 

can have too much sugar and 

lacks fiber. 

Stay hydrated—drink 8 ounces 

of water, eight times a day. 

Water is crucial to your health 

as every system in your body 

depends on it. You can drink 

glasses of water or eat plant 

foods like fruits and vegetables 

that contain a lot of water. 

For example, oranges are 87 

percent water and cucumbers 

are 95 percent water.

www.Facebook.com/SilkUS. 

One way to get the benefits of 

plant-based nutrition is to substitute 

almondmilk for typical 

dairy milk in your cereal.
