April 2016 Volume 12 Issue 4

News from the Board of DirectorsRestless? Need fulfillment? Do you want to do something different? Do you crave excitement - thatfeeling of having done a really great job? Do you have opinions about how our community is managedand wish you could implement them? Do you embrace change when it makes an improvement? Can youget your arms around decisions that are sometimes tough? Do you think being part of a businessmanagement team would be fun? Don't just keep wishing...

...join the Board!

It's really easy. No primaries. No delegate count. No debates. No fundraising. No Super PACs. No CNNor Fox interviews. Just ask Cindy or Karen for the right form and you're a candidate!

Each year we elect three Board members, one from each home type. Only one incumbent (from theCarriage Homes) is running this year. The field is wide open!

So right now you're probably wondering, "Why would I want to do that? What could possibly motivateme to make such a commitment?" Read the first paragraph again. If any of that describes you, Boardmembership is a good solution. Yes, being a Board member does mean meetings - typically every twoweeks for a few hours each; then the open meeting monthly. Also, you would likely be a "liaison" to acommittee - that's sort of like being the Board's Ambassador to that committee - you don't do thecommittee's work. Don't believe the myth that you'll get dozens of phone calls about "getting thingsdone." That's why we have Cindy and her management team. All in all, it's a good gig.

The best part is that you'll be responsible for the Board's primary mission - to maintain and build thevalue of this beautiful community. You'll have the opportunity to make a difference. Give it some seriousthought.

In other news, we've recently concluded a ballot initiative within the community to determine approval ordisapproval of Bylaws modifications required by recent recommendations of the "Elections Task Force."Those recommendations are that all residents can vote for all three Board candidates each year and thatterm limits of six years would be implemented. Both measures passed by a majority vote of householdsand the Bylaws are being adjusted accordingly.

Finally, this space is not normally used to eulogize residents who have died. After all, we each have a personal story of value that could be told here. But sometimes a person leaves a mark on the communityso indelible that a few words are in order. Bill White was one of those people. As a Board member he wasinstrumental in most of our engineering projects, including the Watts system in the Garden homes,irrigation solutions, Transition, and many others. He provided sage advice and wisdom and often acted asa stabilizing influence when turmoil was among us. As a resident, he showed us how the game of pool is

played by a master, yet did so with consummate humility. As a friend...well, he was kind, gentle, caring,and giving. We will miss him but he will live on in our memories.

Our next Board meeting will be at Noon on Tuesday, April 5th.

Please join us

When is the Summer Solstice?The solstice heralds the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. In 2016, the solsticefalls on June 20th. Sunrise is 5:32 a.m. and sunset is 8:33 and dark is at 9:36.The timing of the solstice depends on when the Sun reaches its farthest point north of theequator. In temperate regions, we notice that the Sun is higher in the sky throughout the day and

its rays strike Earth at a more direct angle, causing the efficient warming we call summer.

MEDICAL ADVOCATES GROUP Medications are critical to health but when they are no longer needed they become a serious healthrisk to family members and pets. This can happen through accidental exposure or intentional misuseof the drugs/unused supplements if they are not disposed properly. Do not flush medications downthe toilet or sink where they may endanger the ecosystem. In Upper Gwynedd the best thing to do istake them to the Police Department where there is a specific, safe receptacle in the lobby for drug disposal. Ifyou cannot do this, remove the drugs from their containers, mix together with wet garbage such as cooked foodor coffee grounds. Block out any identifying information such as your name, prescription number and address onthe empty prescription containers before throwing them away to prevent identity theft.

Surprising contributors to weight gain: Nearly 70% of Americans are overweight and 38% of those are obese.The basic equation in weight gain is taking in more calories than are burned off. But there is increasingawareness that it’s not that simple. Compared to 1960, we are now more sed entary, eat up to 400 more calories

per day, eat more processed food and have diets containing 13% more sugars, especially high-fructose cornsyrup which is particularly adept at promoting fat storage. Another casualty of an unhealthy diet is our gutmicrobiota — the trillions of microorganisms that reside in our intestinal tracts. Fiber-rich plants and fermentedfoods nourish gut bacteria but are lacking in the average American diet. Gut bacteria not only aid digestion butalso influence appetite, fat absorption and metabolism. Antibiotics, which are over prescribed by doctors and areinappropriately used in animals, kill off our healthy bacteria. Other drugs such as antidepressants, antipsychotics,insulin, steroids, statins, beta-blockers, birth control pills, antihistamines and anticonvulsants are notoriouscauses of weight gain.

Inadequate sleep is linked with weight gain. Sleep apnea is closely tied to obesity. Sleep deprivationcauses changes in hormones that affect appetite and fat storage. Environmental toxins, which are everywhere inus and around us, may have a role in weight gain. Endocrine disruptors interfere with the signaling of hormonesand adversely affect growth, development and metabolism. Despite all these factors, diet and exercise are stillthe most powerful tools for achieving and maintaining optimal weight.

Boost your hearing by changing your environment. Decrease background noise : Turn off music or the TVwhen you are having a conversation. When going to a restaurant, sit with your dinner partner in front of you, thekitchen/restaurant noise behind you. Chose a quiet restaurant or go at an off-peak time. Use assistive devices tolet you hear better : For the TV turn on the closed captioning feature. For the doorbell or smoke alarms getdevices with louder signals or flashing lights. Use the assistive listening systems available in many public placessuch as a courtroom, movie theater or auditorium. Use visual cues to help you understand what someone issaying. Talk in well- lighted areas so you can see the speaker’s face and expressions. Watch the speaker’s mouthto help you pick up on words. Get close to the sound~~be close to the person you are speaking with. At publicevents sit near the front. Try to reduce the echo of your environment such as hard floors, which make sound

bounce and hard to interpret. Ask people to speak up and slow down.

If you are going on an extended trip and ask your doctor for an antibiotics in case of illness, make sure the drugs prescribed are not Cipro or Levaquin. These powerful drugs have dangerous adverse side effects. Ask yourdoctor for safer medications or non-drug alternatives such as milk of magnesia tablets for prevention.Robert Steinfeld, MD David Rosenthal, MD Mary Lindner, RN
