As I write these thoughts, I’m

watching the clos-ing ceremony of

the Summer Olympics in Rio. This year’s Olym-pics have set records with over 11,000 athletes competing, and over 1,500 medals won. Athletes already are training for the Tokyo games in 2020.

Who can imagine the excitement for Olympic winners in each sport? There were tears and cheers as one’s victory was announced. But the competi-tors in the closing ceremony, whether or not they won a medal, had to feel enormous pride. Their ability, training and effort made them worthy to participate in the closing recognition as one of the best athletes on earth. Just think – each mastered an ability they loved to do.

During my life I have loved to write. I’ve com-posed silly poems, written short stories, developed sermons, authored magazine articles and written research documents. But I never believed I would write and publish a book.

Are you like me? Could you have experiences, memories or a “story” your family and others would enjoy?

My vision changed some months ago when I saw an announcement in the Gazette newspaper about a new class being offered. Marty Lee, a writer, photographer and designer for John Knox Village, was beginning a free class on how to write and publish a book. The course would be open

both to Village residents, as well as individuals from the outside community. Marty was offer-ing his expertise to anyone who had a dream of achieving gold by writing and publishing.

I got excited – and attended the class. Some shared a dream of writing their life story as a gift for their family. Others mentioned favorite pets or travels or even novels they’d like to write.

Double, double toil and trouble;Fire burn, and caldron bubble.By the pricking of my thumbs,Something wicked this way comes. – Macbeth by William Shakespeare

As darkness approaches and the witching hour is neigh,

creatures from fairy tales, horror stories and literature emerge into the night. These witches, gob-lins, monsters, vampires, fairies and other fantastical fiends come knocking on the door to demand “trick or treat” – don’t hesitate to invite them in, as it’s All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween) and they expect handfuls of tasty candy, choco-lates, apples, or else!

Adults enjoy the frightful fun of Halloween too, dressing up in scary, wicked and even sexy costumes. Homes are turned into haunted houses, decorated with carved pumpkins, skeletons, bats and huge spiders. Doors creak eerily when opened and strange cackling sounds emanate from inside.

It’s Halloween, a festival that seems to have grown around the ancient Gaelic “Samhain,” that marks the end of the light sum-mer half of the year, and the beginning of the dark half, winter.

Samhain was a harvest celebra-tion, when the last crops were gathered and food was stored for the winter. The pagan Celts also believed it was a time when the walls that separated the liv-ing world from the spirit world

became thin and allowed spirits to pass through. It is thought the wearing of spooky costumes may have had its roots in the belief that dressing up as a ghost would scare off the real ghosts. While dressing as a ghost is still popu-lar, a most favorite character cos-tume is that of a witch! Witches are the traditional and mysterious personifications we most associ-ate with Halloween. When we think of a witch, an image of an old, ugly, hook-nosed woman comes to mind, stirring magical potions in a cauldron, riding on a broomstick with her black cat perched on the back. She casts spells and predicts the future, as in the classic opening scenes of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The Weird Sister, or three witches, fire up Macbeth’s ambition and make

Marty declared all those dreams are possible. All it takes is the decision to start writing on a subject of interest, and the determination to continue.

My problem: I could think of too many sub-ject possibilities. There were multiple books and articles I’d love to write. So Marty ad-vised, “David, pick one and begin.” But which of my dreams should I select?

In a way, I believe God helped make my decision. At lunch a few days later, I met a brand new resident in John Knox Village. Cur-tis Iverson had moved to the Village the day before, so I paused at his table for a moment to meet him.

We shared our various life experiences. Curtis commented that he was an illustrator, an artist, and a friend of both Walt Disney and Charles Schultz. A question immediately popped out of my mouth: “Curtis, I’m a writer.

I’m trying to write a children’s book. Would you consider illustrating it?”

“I’d consider it.” he said, “Send me the story.”

My question and his agreement resulted in an exciting partnership and the making of a new friend. We’ve united in a dream. With Curtis, I accepted the challenge made by Marty in the writing class. With Curtis’ talent and insight making it possible, our first publication will be a picture book for young children. The writing is finished and the artwork near com-pletion. Next, Marty will put it all together and send it to Amazon for publishing.

“Jack and the Really BIG Beanstalk” is just one of a number of books which have, or soon will be published through Marty’s class. All of them are authored by South Florida elders, striving for their own Olympic GOLDS.

I doubt if many reading this could run an Olympic marathon or swim to victory in a

meet. Like me, you may have said “I never could write something worth publishing. I don’t even own a computer.”

But if you can dream, you can dream of writing. It might be that life experience, written as a legacy for your family. It may be some amazing tale you’ve always had in the back of your mind. Your dream may be an article published in a newspaper or magazine. Your dream might be inspired by something you wrote for an internet site. Who knows, you might publish a book. Whatever your dream, I invite you to face the challenge and realize it. Attend the next free Silver Scribers class on October 6 at 10 a.m. on the John Knox Vil-lage Campus, in the Cassels Tower Party Room.

Call 954-783-4040 to register and re-ceive directions to the class site.

You too can become an Olympian and win a gold medal… in the Olympic event known as “The Joy of Writing.”

Collaborative Effort Between Friends In The Joy Of Writing

Broward Good News and Broward County Commissioners celebrated The

Woodlands at John Knox Village in Pom-pano Beach in recognition of Florida’s first GREEN HOUSE® Project.

Mayor Marty Kiar noted that he chose the GREEN HOUSE Project because of the life-style it offered residents.

“In some senior facilities everything is always the same,” Mayor Kiar said. “The GREEN HOUSE Project gives seniors the ability to live in a family home environment. Residents have a choice. They can eat when they want. Wake when they want. Residents are able to live in a manner where they feel like they’re in a loving home and I was very impressed.”

“In dealing with hundreds of communities every year, you’ve got a great reputation and should be proud of yourself and we commend you here and thank you for coming,” said Commissioner Mark Bogen.

“People are very involved at the John Knox community. When you go there you know there’s a lot of love in the community so we appreciate it,” said Commissioner Chip La-Marca.

The GREEN HOUSE Project is a new model of senior nursing care based on three core values: Meaningful Life in a Real Home environment provided by Empowered Staff.

The Woodlands is dramatically different from other traditional skilled nursing and rehab centers, as it embodies the comforts, design, and ambiance of a personal home. The resi-dences in The Woodlands are where elders enjoy excellent quality of life and quality of care, and where they and their families and the staff engage in meaningful relationships built

on equality, empowerment, and mutual respect.“The 12 homes that John Knox Village

created brings us over the 200 mark in over 28 states around this country,” said John Knox Village President/CEO Gerry Stryker. So I hope that what we’ve been able to do at John Knox Village, we can help bring this to other communities throughout Florida be-cause we show the real difference. This is not grandma’s nursing home. This is a real home, meaningful life with staff and residents work-ing with and for it. Thank you for this incred-ible honor today.”

The Broward Good News initiative brings good news to the public by highlighting the successes of the County, the economic en-gines of small businesses, good Samaritans and other events that result in a positive outcome for Broward residents and visitors. Broward Good News recognitions take place on Tuesdays during regularly scheduled Com-mission meetings beginning at 10 a.m.

The classic pairing of wine and cheese can be as simple or as sophisticated as you

make it out to be. Just as I stated in my ar-ticle, “Food and Wine Pairings, what wine goes with what food” the matching of food and wine is to harmonize and enhance the flavors of both the food and wine. It is the exact same prem-ise with wine and cheese. As with any pairing the first rule of

thumb is to eat and drink what you like, no matter what the said “rules” are; and again, there are no “rules,” just guidelines, and sug-gestions to enhance your pairing experience.

Wine and Cheese pairing is a match made in heaven, you’ve got flavors and textures that run as wild as can be, and on the flip side, you’ve got those same flavors and textures that run mellow and tame. I’ve created a series of wine & cheese pairing breakout articles (from the original) where I’ve focused on one wine matched with various cheeses.

Some of the wines and cheeses will be familiar to you, and others break you out of what is common and proverbial. The sugges-tions are just that, suggestions, the pairings will work for some and not others. The pair-ings will get you thinking; they will open doors and take you on a journey you other-wise may not have embarked on.

Riesling Wine

Riesling is a white grape that produces acidic and aromatic white wines with flowery, perfume type aromas. Rieslings can be dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling. Riesling is native to Germany and planted around the world.

Cheese That Pairs With Riesling:

• Apple Smoked Gouda – A creamy and buttery cow’s milk cheese smoked with applewood.

• Colby – A semi-hard, mild cow’s milk cheese.

• Cotija – Mexican grating cheese made from cow’s milk with a sharp flavor and firm texture.

• Edam – Semi-hard cheese made from cow’s and goat’s milk, mild in flavor, that is slightly salty or nutty.

• Emmentaler – Medium-hard cow’s milk cheese sometimes known as Swiss cheese.

Everything Happens For A RieslingGuidelines To Harmonizing Tastes And Flavors Of Wines And Foods

John Knox Village Executive Chef Mark Gullusci has the perfect recipe for easy

entertaining – penne alla vodka with grilled chicken!

Short pasta is easier to cook in quantity than long strands and Chef Mark’s sauce combination of Alfredo and Marinara is seri-ously good. The piece de resistance may just be the called-for two cups of vodka. We’re just saying.

• 4 chicken breasts• 1 lb. of penne pasta. Cook pasta and

cool with cold water, toss with a tsp. of oil so it does not stick together.

• 2 cups vodka, (1 for your drink and one for the dish.)

Alfredo Sauce• 8 ounces heavy whipping cream• 1 pinch of ground nutmeg• 2 each chicken bouillon cubes• Pinch of white pepper• 3 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese• Blend these ingredients together

Marinara Sauce• ¼ cup olive oil• 3 cloves minced garlic• 1 cup diced Spanish onions• 1 tsp. basil leaves

• 1 tsp. oregano leaves• Pinch of kosher salt• 1 tsp. granulated sugar• ½ tsp. crushed red pepper• ½ tsp. ground black pepper• ½ tsp. thyme leaves• 24 ounce can whole tomatoes in juice

with basil. Use a good Italian name brand. Pour into a bowl and squeeze or use a potato masher, a few chunks are fine.

In a pot heat olive oil, sauté garlic one minute, when browning starts add onions and sweat for 5 minutes, add spices and bring out aromas for 2 minutes. Your neighbors should start smelling it by now! Add tomato product. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Set these sauces off to the side and grill 4 chicken breasts, or these can be baked in a

425-degree oven with some salt, pepper and olive oil. When cool enough to handle, cube the chicken.

When ready, in a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil, add cubed chicken for 1 minute to heat up, then add the cup of vodka (still drink-ing your other). Now you can either let the alcohol burn off, which it does at 176 degrees, or you can ignite it with a lighter. Do this with caution, once ignited add your Alfredo sauce, reduce for 5 minutes and then add marinara sauce. Toss in precooked penne pasta. Finish by plating into pasta bowls and topping with parmesan cheese.

Yields 6 portions.Gazette readers are encouraged to enjoy a

complimentary lunch prepared by Chef Mark and tour John Knox Village with one of our Life Plan Consultants. Call (954) 783-4040 and we’ll reserve your seat at the table!

him consider murder as a way to gain the throne of Scotland. During the course of the play he consults with the witches but his fate was sealed after the first encounter.

Witches play important roles in many works of literature and have always main-tained a spot in the popular imagination, but with the arrival of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the many Potter sequels, witch-craft exploded into a genuine craze. Harry is a good wizard, but it’s Hermione Granger, who captures the imagination. She’s kind. quick-witted and erudite. She’s always prepared. And her spell work is impeccable.

Or who could forget Circe from Homer’s The Odyssey? She bewitched men with her beauty and gentle demeanor, welcoming them to her home to rest and regain strength, only to turn them into livestock! Or the memorable Jadis, the White Witch from The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. She was evil incar-nate, but she managed to rise to power and eventually gain total dominion over every land in which she lived.

Did these mythological, spellbinding be-ings ever really exist, or are they a wonderful-ly fascinating, confused mish-mash of ancient beliefs, myths and fabrications?

A Craft Of The Wise

In ancient times, witchcraft was known as the ‘craft of the wise” – people (mainly women), who were in tune with nature and its forces, developed a knowledge of herbs and medicines, gave wise counsel and were held in high esteem as healers and midwives in their village and community. They understood nature was a superior force and that human beings were simply one of the many parts of nature, both of the material world and the emotional or spiritual world. Their early tradi-tions were developed in agrarian societies where the environment had a profound effect upon survival. They studied the seasons, the phases of the moon and stars, tried to predict their influences upon crops, cattle and rain. It was from this desire to understand and con-trol nature that gave rise to various pagan and earth-based worship systems. The earliest concept of witches was not of evil beings – that came later.

A Witch Hunt

It was not until about 1000 A.D. that witch-es and their craft summoned the outrage of Christian priests and members of the ruling classes. Witchcraft was seen as a powerful pagan religion and was considered a heresy. Witches were deemed to be evil, making con-nections with the devil and casting harmful spells. It was even believed that witches could fly, become invisible, tame and communicate with wild animals and use cats as spies and familiars. The belief in their existence and abilities was given credence by Pope Innocent VIII, whose declaration, in 1498, confirmed witches did exist thus causing the witch hunts to increase. Many women and some men suffered intense persecution as a result of irrational prejudices.

Witch hunting and witch trials swept throughout Europe, and then on to Britain, where King James VI of Scotland played a significant role in promoting them. His inter-est and belief in the reality of witches contrib-uted to the spread of persecutions. The King actually wrote a witchcraft treatise, Dae-monologie, which established definitions of witchcraft crimes and was used in the courts to condemn people of witchcraft.

The Puritans and Pilgrims brought the British campaign of terror to America when they settled in New England. Those accused of witchcraft represented a political, religious and sexual threat to the established religions of the day and the community. The famous Salem witch trials occurred in Massachu-setts between 1692 and 1693. More than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft

and 20 were executed. Eventually, the colony admitted the trials were a mistake and com-pensated the families of those convicted. Since then, the story of the trials has become synonymous with paranoia and injustice. The trials were immortalized in The Crucible by Arthur Miller’s 1953 play.

Halloween Movies: The Scary, Charming And Funny!

October is the time to make popcorn, cook some chili and cornbread and settle in to watch shows and movies about our favorite witches! Many of us love Halloween enter-tainment, a little spine tingling and a few goosebumps are good, but not movies that make us too scared or uncomfortable. For-tunately, there are a lot of movies available that are suitable to watch with timid friends or anyone who doesn’t want to sleep with the lights on! Here are some my favorites:

Bell, Books and Candle (1958) This is a charming movie

with a star studded cast in-cluding Kim Novak, Jimmy Stewart, Jack Lemmon and Pyewacket the cat. Jillian (Kim Novak) bewitches and falls for bumbling book pub-lisher Shep (Jimmy Stew-art), casts a spell to make him fall in love, which has some unusual consequences. Nothing scary here, just sophisticated fun and charm

the way through.

The Wizard of Oz (1938) Perhaps one of the most famous witches

of all is the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz. Intent on seeking revenge, she does everything in her power to stop Doro-thy (Judy Garland) and her pals from getting to meet the Wizard. The witch is a hideous bright green, with a long pointed nose and conical hat and is pure evil, but it’s her fly-ing humanoid monkeys that are really scary. Glinda, The Good Witch of the South dressed in every little girl’s dream dress of pink tulle with lots of sparkling sequins and spangles. She is kind and beautiful and helps Dorothy go home to Kansas.

Hocus Pocus (1993) Beloved by families and often shown on

cable TV, this spooky comedy follows two

teenagers who accidentally resurrect three cackling, strangely attractive witches: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Na-jimy on Halloween night. Set in Salem, MA, the witches terrorize the town, in a very inept and stupid way. It is up to the two teens and an immortal cat to put an end to the witches’ reign of terror once and for all.

Practical Magic (2009)

Pretty Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) and sensuous Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), born into a magical family of Massachusetts witches, have tried to avoid witchcraft and spell casting. Their aunts, however carry on the family tradition. But when Gillian’s vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic), dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters give themselves a crash course to renew their magic with the help of their aunts and Sally’s daughters. Some slightly scary scenes and lots of frogs, ugh!

Burn Loeffke is a believer in the power of taking charge for overall wellness.

Proper nutrition, exercise, activity and volun-teerism have guided his life now for more than eight decades.

A decorated military veteran, Major Gen-eral Burn Loeffke (U. S. Army retired), now has transformed from warrior to healer. He is a published author of several books, including 12 Steps To Health.

Gen. Loeffke has been an advisor to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness. After retirement from the Army in 1993, he began his medical training and graduated in 1997. He now teaches, nationally and international-ly public health, wellness and conflict resolu-tions. He has served as a medical officer in the Middle East. Africa, Latin America and Asia. Also a recent graduate of the Hippocrates Institute, Burn is beginning a new mission as a wellness instructor.

In their book, Burn collaborated with Carmin Queral, MPH, a Professor of Public Health and Clinical Coordinator at Barry University. She has participated in medical missions in the Third World, and has taught wellness, both nationally and internationally.

Massage To Lessen Stress

For us, the morning ritual begins at 5:45 a.m. It includes stretches, 200 crunches, sprints, squats, a five-minute swim in the ocean, and a massage. An important ingredi-ent is the 2-minute massage. It can be done on a mat on the floor, the bed, or leaning against the wall.

Medically we know that massage is good for us. Studies show that a massage increases

body building proteins, increasing hormones for better food absorption and by decreasing the stress hormone, cortisol.

We can all benefit from a bi-monthly mas-sage. Different procedures will alleviate dif-ferent medical challenges.

Four Massages That Help

Swedish – good for pain, muscle tension and stress.

Deep Tissue – good for headaches, postural problems and repetitive motion injuries.

Shiatsu – good for asthma, depression, headaches, hypertension, insomnia, menstrual problems, sinusitis and nausea. Rhythmic

pressure is applied to stimulate 12 meridians or energy pathways. The practitioner will use fingers, knuckles, palms and elbows.

Lymphatic – This massage is crucial for good health. The lymphatic system is twice as large as our arteries and veins together. We need to massage our lymphatic system to move toxins out of our bodies.

For us, the lymphatic massage is what we do daily. It is crucial that we get the toxins out of our bodies and one way to do it is by a lymphatic massage.

Instructions on how to do a lymphatic mas-sage: The picture below shows the thumbs parallel to the spine, and the person perform-ing the massage should press with his or her weight, elbows locked, and move down the spine to the small of the back. We repeat five times.

We will explore the 12 Steps To Health: one step each month. Next month we will explore the benefits of Activity.

Be well and remember to take the time to help others.

What is “spiri-tuality?”

For some, it is the search for the knowledge of, and relationship with, the Divine. For some, it is a search for the meaning and purpose of this existence we call life. For others, it

is the practice of a particular religion includ-ing its traditions, doctrines, values and prac-tices (within the church and the community).

Today some people tend to think of religion as something negative. At its best however, religion is a spiritual gift. Our word “religion” comes from the Latin word “religio,” which means “to reconnect” or “to bind back to-gether.”

At John Knox Village we strive to practice a spirituality that connects or binds together people with each other and people with God. We have a variety of religious practices represented here: Protestant, Catholic, Jew-ish, Unitarian and others. We strive to build a spiritual culture where people of any religious tradition will feel honored and supported and that they can grow in their spirituality as they experience the traditions and practices of oth-

er religions. And in the process, spiritual people are bound together through the common experience of connecting with those parts of reality that we cannot sense with our physical senses.

Spirituality isn’t limited to reli-gious practices however. Spirituality also includes the connection, the binding together of the human spirit with nature, music, art and sports. Spirituality doesn’t exist in a vacuum: it is practiced wherev-er and whenever people get together. As a result, people working out together is a spiri-tual experience. Dance class and pool exercise are spiritual experiences. Educational lectures and presentations are spiritual experiences.

The spiritual element of wellness can be the most personal piece of the puzzle when try-ing to place all seven dimensions of wellness together. Generally, people like to live a life with meaning and purpose. When these goals are met, it puts harmony in one’s life, and the others they surround themselves with.

Strengthen Your Spiritual Core

Explore your spiritual core by asking your-self questions about the person you are and your meaning. Ask yourself: Who am I? What is my purpose? What do I value most?

Take time for yourself. Getting a good grasp of your own mindset and allowing yourself time to meditate and focus on your own needs is an important part of spiritual wealth.

Spend time every day in self-reflection. Meditate. Do Yoga. Journal. Live a life of gratitude and positivity.

How are your relationships with others? Do your social interactions give you peace and lift you up? Or, do you feel drained, helpless, or fragile emotionally after your interactions with other important people in your life? Hav-ing social connections that are healthy, col-laborative, and empowering can contribute to your spiritual core of wellness.

Do you feel connected with your commu-nity and your impact in the world? Finding your purpose and place globally can make for a rich spiritual lifestyle. Look for ways you can help improve the lives of those near and dear to you, or those that you may never meet. Contribute to a charity, volunteer your time or reach out to someone in need.

In our Western culture, we are taught to think in terms of dualism: good and bad; light and dark; soft and loud; religious and secular. The Dimensions of Wellness appropriately re-flect that the fullness of life is not about “this” to the exclusion of “that.” Life is where all the dimensions flow together because all dimen-sions affect each other and are bound together. The Wellness team of John Knox Village will be identifying how the dimensions are bound together through a color-coding method within the calendar and through programming that will be introduced during Active Aging Week. We look forward to launching these new concepts.

In a natural ex-tension of John

Knox Village’s commitment to expanding the Seven Dimen-sions of Wellness for its residents and the area, a partnership has been forged between JKV and Carmel Baronoff, to the benefit of the greater community.

South Florida residents will be seeing a lot of Carmel in the upcoming months. An au-

thor, chef, TV personal-ity, nutritionist, wellness coach and trainer, Carm-el is hostess of a locally produced 30-minute health and fitness show titled “Living Well With Carmel.”

John Knox Village is an underwriter of the show airing nationally Saturdays at 12:30 p.m., as well as on local PBS stations WPBT and WLRN (Channels 2 and 17 respectively on the South Florida Comcast network).

During the show, the Boca Raton resident whips up a healthy and nutritious meal, dem-onstrates easy but effective exercises, as well as focuses on mindfulness geared towards achieving a sense of peace and empowerment.

Dubbing herself the “Health Coach for Baby Boomers,” Carmel shows audiences that with healthy eating, continued activity and mental clarity, being 50 and older can become the best time in our lives. She is cheerleader and guide for living well during your 60s, 70s, and beyond with the promise of achiev-ing new meaning and satisfaction for decades to come.

Visit her website at (www.lwwc.tv) and you can watch interviews she recently conducted with “Leave It To Beaver” star Tony Dow,

Tina Louise of “Gilligan’s Island,” and pop artist Romero Britto.

As Carmel notes on her website:“Don’t miss our out-of-the-box activities

from aerial yoga to a challenging fitness course through an untouched forest in the Berkshires. Whether it’s sailing in Biscayne Bay or hiking through the Appalachian Moun-tains, we’ll take you on a journey to ‘view the world as your gym.’”

The Seven Dimensions of Wellness is the full integration of states of physical, mental and spiritual well-being. The Wellness Di-mensions are: Social, Emotional, Spiritual, Environmental, Occupational, Intellectual and Physical.

Directors’ Thoughts On TheSpiritual Dimension Of Wellness

Spiritual Wellness is not limited to religious practices. It includes the binding of the human spirit with nature, art, music and sports.

The new norm with regards

to nutrition seems to be the ages-old

wisdom of Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

The Harvard Medical school newsletter, in “Nutrition 101: Good Eating for Good Health,” makes the clear connection between diet and health. Within all the specifics they discussed, the one point they made is that “good eating should not be considered a punishment, but an opportunity.” I couldn’t agree more.

By saying no to foods with green peppers, eggplant, white potatoes, pumpkin and tomatoes (so, pretty much good-bye Ital-ian food), my indigestion rarely raises its fiery head any more. And when it does, I can always trace it to something I’ve eaten. Given that OTC brands like Prevacid® and Xantac® inhibit the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, taking them only contributes to a lack of well-being.

So what do you do if you have indiges-tion? My sure-fire recipe is to chew three or four papaya enzyme pills (widely available at nutrition stores and on-line) with a chaser of 2 ounces of aloe vera juice. (I like OKF brand available at Wal-Mart and some Asian mar-kets.) This combo’s like swallowing a fire ex-tinguisher – without any negative side-effects. An added bonus with Aloe Vera is that it can

work wonders for IBS sufferers.Eating well yields huge rewards in the form

of more energy, better sleep, nicer skin and an overall feeling of well-being. The people in the world who live the longest eat 75 to 80 percent vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, le-gumes, some grains and just up to 20 percent animal protein. And they drink lots of green tea. How does your eating stand up to that?

When you pay attention to your body, during and after eating, you’ll become aware of signals it sends about the food you eat. Heartburn suggests intolerance to some-thing you’ve eaten. Rather than medicating yourself, try to determine which food caused it and then eliminate

this food from your repertoire and see if that makes a difference. Some foods cause inflam-mation and you may suddenly notice that one or more joints begin to ache. Some foods can cause a headache, or bloating, belching and other digestive issues. Sometimes you might wake up and your eyes and extremities are swollen. What did you eat the night before?

When you start to notice any tightening, bloating, swelling with 24 hours of eating something, you begin the process of un-derstanding and mastering food’s powerful effects on how you feel. Then you become in control… and that is the opportunity.

Be a Savvy Senior. Start to notice a con-nection between certain foods and discomfort anywhere in your body and make decisions

about what to eat based on foods that make you feel good.

Anne Goldberg, The Savvy Senior, has a vision to create an army of senior volunteers bringing

their wisdom and experience back to the community. She helps seniors reach their goals

by teaching them how to use computers; holding conferences and workshops on The Art

of Living Longer; learning decluttering and organizing techniques; producing Tell Your

Story Videos, preserving the stories and wisdom of your life for future generations. For more

As I looked around the room, nobody ap-peared as old as I had expected!

Moving along in life has its benefits, and I suppose deficits too. I try hard not to think about the downside of aging, because un-less I am doing something that requires a fair amount of exertion, I really don’t notice much difference in the effects that time and gravity have unrelentingly brought to bear.

In fact, my several-times-a-week exercise classes at the YMCA are really the only time I feel exhausted – or at least close to it – in the course of my daily life. The regularity of exceeding my predicted maximal heart rate for 20 minutes or so, each of the 50 minute classes, seems to have increased my function-al capacity enough that I actually don’t notice much strain in my activities of daily living…well except those 40 pound (18kg) bags of cat litter that seem relatively heavier than they used to be.

50th Reunion Was A Happening

I recently attended my 50th high school reunion, and if confession is actually good for the soul, I confess I expected to see a bunch of tired old folks doing the best they could to look chipper. I expected to have to squint in-delicately at nametags and do the best I could to remember who some of my classmates were. The first night, I expected to eat a little food, have a little to drink and then along with everyone else, tuck in early to prepare for a second day of activities.

As it turned out at the first evening’s af-fair, I was surprised to see a lively group of people genuinely delighted to see one another. I listened to and participated in conversations that were upbeat and appreciative, and to be frank, just plain fun. It was, in the vernacular

of my day (our days), a hap-pening! There may have been a wallflower or two, or a couple of fuddy duddies somewhere, but I didn’t see them.

There were some folk I had not seen since walking across the stage at graduation, and yet there honestly did not seem to be a real stranger in the crowd. Surely, I didn’t know every-one, nor had I known everyone when I was in high school, but the sense of seniors dancing as family, community and frater-nity was palpable.

All of this happened against the tapestry of everyone know-ing the time we have left on the planet was significantly less than the “time in service” for which we had been called.

That Really Is It, Isn’t It?

None of us asked to be born and come here, let alone to a particular era or time…and yet, here we are – and there we were, all together. People who entered life with little in our toolkits other than curiosity and faith…curi-osity to wonder what the heck was going on, and faith that like glue, caused the things we saw, touched, smelled, tasted and heard begin building a tapestry of thought and experience allowing us to navigate this foreign and new world.

As I looked around the room on the two nights I spent amongst these fellow travel-ers, it was hard not to remember moments I had shared with many of them, but more so at the mystically magical urge we have to bond together as human beings…even more, that as the faces, though a little more mature and possibly less resilient from decades of breath-ing untold number of breaths and heart beats,

something else had matured and that was a sense of gratitude for the few moments of our lives that we shared together in that small town in the West Virginia hills from whence our lives were cultivated.

I was reminded that time and gravity has no governance on the human spirit, and for those brief and shining moments, we floated togeth-er like brilliant leaves on the autumn winds.

There are certain

website names that just stick with us. Even if you’re not a big website surfer, you’ve most likely heard of Google, Amazon, and YouTube. Well, today let’s learn what YouTube is all about.

YouTube is a website that

allows anyone with a computer, tablet, or smartphone, along with access to the Inter-net, to upload and share a video for all to see. (Upload is just like download — it means to move or copy files from one place to another. In this case from your computer, tablet, or smartphone to YouTube’s website.)

Wide Variety Of Videos On YouTube

YouTube clips aren’t usually more than a few minutes long. Be warned: YouTube runs the gamut from nostalgic clips of past televi-sion shows, to Maria Callas singing at the Met, to newsworthy current events, to prac-tical how-to videos, to juvenile pranks and worse. You select video clips to view based on your interests or you can view those “re-cently added” to the site, “most viewed,” “top rated,” and so on.

Click in the search box at the top of the

website to type in keywords for what interests you and then click on the magnifying glass to the right of the search box. Skip over any of the search results that have the word “AD” in yellow. Those are advertisements and are not really results from your search.

When my nephew, Nic, recently rode a horse for the first time, I sang the theme song from “Mr. Ed” The Talking Horse. Nic, 6 years old, looked at me as though I might have fallen off a horse and hit my head. I was determined to prove my sanity and, thank goodness, I found validation on YouTube…You can type “Mr. Ed” in the search box to brush up on those forgotten the lyrics. Be sure to turn on your speakers, if they have been muted, and click on the play arrow.

Look For Abby On YouTube

Search for me on YouTube and you’ll dis-cover video clips of my classes, lectures, and TV interviews (clue: youtube.com/AskAbby-Stokes – no spaces).

If you want to upload a digital video file onto YouTube, it’s free. Just be careful about what you choose to share. You don’t want to post anything that gives away too much per-sonal information about you or anything that might jeopardize your job, relationship, or, in the case of younger folks, chances of getting into the college of their choice. Anyone can visit YouTube, so your submission is there for all to see. Remember, Uncle Bert may not ap-preciate that impersonation of him being seen worldwide.

Let me know when you’ve posted a video. I’d love to see it!

If you’ve never watched a video before visit me at AskAbbyStokes.com and click on “First Time Visitors” at the top right. There you will find a video that gives you tips about

watching videos. Happy YouTubing!

Daily we hear news of yet

another major security breach

of passwords among agencies of the federal government, the IRS and of course scores of websites.

To protect yourself, it’s important not to use the same password at more than one site. Obviously, we all do it. Who can remember all those passwords anyway?

Clients tell me, that their email is not im-portant. “I don’t care if they get into it,” cli-ents have said. Sadly this is a bad idea. Your email address password is the key to unlocking everything. Your email account allows the bad guys to spam your family and friends and can lock you out of your accounts for future chang-es. This is a real problem with banks and your stock portfolios. It’s happened to all of us. We TRUST an email from someone we know, we click on it and then we can get infected.

It’s this trust factor that makes your email address so vital to the infections multiplying. Imagine even if you only have 20 folks on your lists. If each friend also has 20 and they all get infected by hitting your email address it’s the jackpot for a spammer. Your one email address leads to infecting 100’s or 1,000’s of email addresses. You say, “so what’s the big deal?” By letting your machine get infected and then infecting others you make all the machines potentially spam robots or conduits of denial of service attacks around the world.

If you notice your computer got slower just after you opened that fake email you most likely have spyware now on your computer.

So What To Do?

1. Change your email account’s password.2. Once you know your email password is

new and working, change any financial institution password.

3. Change other less critical website passwords.But the issue is, how do I change these to

different passwords and worse yet, how can I

remember them? This we all agree is a daunt-ing task. But it’s a simple task remedied by a password manager.

Many exist on the market, most are free and you can research for the one you prefer more than another. Personally, I recommend LASTPASS.COM. Like most, it will generate a unique pass code for you so you don’t have to come up with new passwords for every site. It does all the work.

It will then enter those new passwords into the website you visit when you visit it. So problem solved.1. Create an account at Lastpass.com. 2. Create only ONE SUPER long password

(12 to 18 characters long) you can re-member. This is the key to the entire vault. Make sure you have never used this pass-word before and include numbers.

3. Start updating your passwords on eachwebsite. As you go to each site, Lastpass will ask you if you want to generate a new password and save it.As always, go to YouTube.com and type

“lastpass tutorial” to see video instructions on how to use it or any other software for free.

It’s always a good idea to have a special notebook nearby to write down the password. It comes in handy if you travel or you need help from a friend.

The 200-seat Village Centre

Auditorium at John Knox Village was

transformed into what seemed to be an authen-tic “teatro musical” Span-ish musical theatre for a recent “Rhapsody Espana” concert.

Replete in Spanish reds and yellows, the multi-media evening celebrated authentic zarzuela and classical Spanish music and dance. Featured artists included Tenor Martin Nusspaumer and Soprano Maria Antunez, along with Ciro Fodere at the piano and Desiree Ortega and Gabriel Ugas of the Nuevo Flamenco Dance Troupe, which per-formed Spanish traditional, interpretive and ballet dance.

The Pompano Beach-based Life Plan Com-munity and Venetian Arts Society recently partnered in an ongoing series of Venetian Salons. Residents of JKV, guests and friends of VAS thoroughly enjoyed the vivid, evoca-tive, passionate and colorful program, which

was also dedicated to long-time JKV resident and philanthropist, Dr. “Diva” Harriet Mertz for her contributions to the cultural arts.

“Dr. Diva Harriet Mertz has spent her entire life as a performer, educator, and supporter of

all of the fine arts,” VAS Executive Director Willie Riddle said. “For the last few years Dr. Mertz has been an active resident of John Knox Village and is known for supporting the cultural arts at JKV, as well as the entire South Florida com-munity.

A unique component of “Rhapsody Espana” was the Masterpiece Spotlight on sculptor Nilda Comas, who has been com-missioned for numerous major monuments in bronze and marble throughout the U.S. and Europe. During the JKV night she dis-played a model of a 12-foot tall bronze Equestrian Monument of

Gen. Jose de San Martin that the Governor of Argentina asked her to create as a gift to the City of Miami in honor of Argentina’s bicen-tennial.

The next John Knox Village – Venetian Arts Society Salon will be held October 15, and again hosted in the Village Centre Auditorium at 6 p.m.
