OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF HERITAGE RIDGE SOUTH PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION SEPTEMBER 2017

AT HERITAGE RIDGE SOUTH CAMBRIDGE

Our New Editor Greetings from your new C-Breeze Editor! I’m Libby Jensen from Delegate Street. I am a snowbird from Massachusetts and will be celebrating my fourth win-ter in Hobe Sound this year. Last year I was the chair-person for the Fashion Show (a great event!) and vol-unteer as much as I can during my time here in Hobe Sound. Fortunately for me, I have one daughter and her family living with me in MA, and my other daughter and fami-ly living in Boca Raton. I’ve worked in academia for 29 years and have also taught college level computer and business courses for 17 years. I have 2 canine buddies, Enzo and Jake. I’ve been making/selling jewelry for years, and I also am a huge flower gardener up north – still learning in Florida. For this newsletter to continue to be successful, I’ll need feedback, suggestions, and even articles from you. Please contact me via phone or email. DO NOT LEAVE INFO FOR ME AT THE CLUBHOUSE. Thanks!

The Council on Aging of Martin County at the Kane Center

The Charles and Rae Kane Center, located at 900 SE Salerno Road (between Kanner Highway and U.S. 1), is a wonderful resource for the elders of our area. Home to the not-for-profit Council on Aging of Martin County, the Kane Center is designed to serve all seniors from the active to the frail, as well as their families and caregivers, through a comprehen-sive mix of health, wellness, cultural, educational and nutri-tional services. The Council on Aging was chartered 43 years ago, making it the longest-standing organization devoted to serving seniors in Martin County. Some of the opportunities and services they provide are: A variety of events, including the new Kane Concert Se-

ries which premiers in January. Clubs – I counted 10 different clubs to participate in. Adult Day Club – where our elder loved ones can benefit

from social interaction with peers, therapy and en-hanced care.

Bob has been very busy this summer. He will be back in Hobe Sound by the end of September and is looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. The board will be meeting with Comcast in ear-ly October to discuss the contract.

Note from Editor Libby When I offered to be the editor, I had no idea how much is involved in getting this publication out the door each month. There are many moving parts, some of which I never consid-ered. I give my sincere thanks to Judy Ricker for her hard work over the past 13 years — I now have a much greater appreciation for her efforts. Many thanks to Judy Ricker and Joe Chippari for their help this month. I’m learning and will appreciate your patience while we get things ironed out. Feel free to offer to help with something! Hopefully next month we’ll include the birthdays and newcomers.

Please join us for lunch on Tuesday, Sep-tember 12 at Nino's Italian Cucina & Pizze-ria Café located at 2500 SE Federal High-way, in Stuart (it’s in the same plaza as the movie theater). They have served pizza, pasta & meat dishes for over 40 years. Check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ninosofstuart/.

September Neighborhood Crime Watch

By Joe Chippari Well it seems that we may have a sick resident or a sick visi-tor living among us. It seems that someone smeared human waste around inside the ladies’ bath room. I encourage eve-ryone to try their best to see if that sick person could be identified. We do not have any room for people of that cali-ber living (or visiting) here in Cambridge. I am very hopeful that she/he will be found out and asked to leave. Ditto to the person that stole the TV remote in the exercise room. Stealing is not the way one should go as a quick trip to the local Comcast office would have accomplished what they needed. Another thing I would like to comment on is the offer from our Sheriff’s Department to come to our community and dis-cuss with us important information to help us keep safe. One thing that has been a big problem in Martin County has to do with ‘unlocked’ vehicles being ransacked and/or sto-len. It is hard for me to believe that we all don’t remove val-uables & lock our vehicles when not in use. When I was a young man we never locked our cars and even left keys in the ignition. That was then and this is now. I don’t leave valuables and I lock it up every time I am not in the car. Also, those IRS/Unpaid parking ticket scams are still alive and well. Ignore those calls and stop losing any sleep over scams. The other has to do with your PC locking up and a screen message advising you that you have a bad virus and not to power off your PC but instead to call a toll-free num-ber for the solution. They even make it look like they are Microsoft but trust me they ARE NOT. They are simple scam-mers after your money. This has happened to many of our residents, including my wife, and they took my advice by powering off their computer. They lost NOTHING when they repowered it back up. If you are alone and frighten to do anything please give me a call and I’ll help you. My # is 772 546 8982. Be advised that we don’t pick up if we don’t rec-ognize the phone number so once you start leaving your message and if I’m listening, I’ll pick up. Don’t let these scammers frighten you into taking your much-needed cash. Stay safe Joe Chippari

Fish Tank Aquariums for Better Health

By Fred Banzon If you have a stressful life, high blood pressure, or insomnia -

keeping a fish tank aquarium may be good therapy for you.

Having an aquarium acts as a stable force that helps one

cope with the stresses of everyday life, as well as treats a

whole range of medical and emotional ailments. People are

hypnotized by its peaceful and serene nature, creating a

calming effect for a few moments in our hectic lives.

Studies going back as far as the late 80’s have shown that

gazing at aquarium fish reduces stress and subsequently

lowers blood pressure. Researchers find that fish aquarium

tanks, whether salt or freshwater, do have therapeutic

health benefits. At Purdue University, researchers have

found that displaying tanks of brightly colored fish may cur-

tail disruptive behaviors and improve eating habits of people

with Alzheimer's disease. "Nursing Professor Nancy Edwards

tracked 60 individuals who resided in specialized units in

three Indiana nursing homes. She found that patients who

were exposed to the fish tanks appeared to be more relaxed

and alert, and they ate up to 21 percent more food than

they had before the introduction of the fish tanks".

Some researchers have compared the effects of: with an

aquarium vs. without an aquarium, having an aquarium vs.

hypnosis, and fish-less vs. fish-filled aquariums. In all cases,

having some sort of aquarium reduced blood pressure. Fur-

thermore, a greater reduction in blood pressure occurred

when there were fish in the aquarium compared to one

which may be pleasingly decorated, but fish-less tank. Inter-

esting enough, even watching a video tape of fish has been

proven to have therapeutic effects. Also, fish watching has

been shown to calm children who suffer from hyperactivity

disorder. Patients who were subjected to hypnosis com-

pared to gazing an aquarium experienced the same or great-

er benefit from the aquarium, with some requiring even less

pain medication. That is the reason why, aside from its

5 C-Breeze September 2017

aesthetic value, a lot of physician offices and dental clinics

keep an aquarium in their waiting rooms.

Any fish tank aquarium, regardless of size, will be highly

beneficial. A large aquarium is great, but if space and/or

budget are limited, a small one will suffice. Take advantage

of these stress-relieving benefits and live a longer and

Hard of Hearing An old man decided his old wife was getting hard of hearing. So he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing checked. The doctor said he could see her in two weeks, and meanwhile there's a sim-ple, informal test the husband could do to give the doctor some idea of the dimensions of the problem. "Here's what you do. Start about 40 feet away from her, and speak in a normal conversational tone and see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response." So that evening she's in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he's in the living room, and he says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens."

"Honey, what's for supper?" No response. So he moves to the other end of the room, about 30 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?" No response. So he moves into the dining room, about 20 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?" No response. On to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?". No response. So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for sup-per?" "For the fifth time, CHICKEN!"
