Our dear Nancy Green looks like she has put in a few extra hours! Thank her for all that she does.

Meet Sally Jo Noble She is new to our staff, she is our new Bus Driver. Stop her and say Hello!

Sally is the newest member of our staff. She has been driving the school bus for the Box Elder School District for 12 years. She has 3 beau ful daugh-ters whom she couldn’t be more proud of. She graduated from Boun ful high school, (we won’t hold that against her). A er gradua on, she served a mission to Switzerland and France and loved being there. When not driving a bus, Sally loves to be outdoors hiking and enjoying the scenery, but camping is out of the ques on unless it is in a hotel! Most of all, she just loves “having fun!” She loves anything that is chocolate and is a fan of Dr. Pepper. When you see her smiling face around the center, be sure to introduce your-self and let her know who you are.

Try Square Dancing

Want to come try an exercise that some doctors say may add another ten years to your life? It combines all the

posi ve aspects of intense physical exercise with none of the nega ve elements."

The American folk dance is a low impact ac vity requiring constant movement and quick direc onal changes that help

keep the body in shape. The study was based on their physical examina on which indicated that both female and male square dancers could expect to live well into their 80's.

Square dance movements raise heart rates like many good aerobic exercises should. All the quick changes of direc on loosen and tone up the muscles--but not so

severely as to cause injury. In square dancing, when you're not moving, you're clapping hands and tapping your feet, which all contributes to long term fitness. "You don't see a lot of 55 year old basketball players, but that's just the age

when square dancers are hi ng their peak" A er taking just a few months of lessons, one is ready to really have fun and meet people of all walks of life and any place

you may travel. Square dancing is party me every me you do it. Square dancing brings people together for fun and fellowship - even when learning how. The fun starts right on the very first night. You meet new people and make new friends. And the

fun keeps right on going as long as you do - most square dance groups meet once a week. It's a wonderful way to share common interests with other people, and to escape

the worry and pressures of today's busy world. Come join us for lessons, mee ng new people, potluck

snacks, and just plain fun.

Tuesdays: August 9th & August 23rd 7:00-9:00 p.m. Tuesday September 13th 7:00-8:30 p.m.

Seniors — Beef it up to prevent muscle loss ~By Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D. May 1, 2015~

Recipes for Healthy Living It is a simple fact. As we age we lose muscle and strength. There's even a medical term for this — sarcopenia. It's derived from the Greek words sacos" (flesh) &"penia" (lack of). Es mates of how much muscle is lost with age vary from 8 percent to about 50 percent of our muscles. Men seem to lose muscle faster than women. Strength is lost more rapidly than muscle. Why is this important? When muscles get smaller, they get much weaker. Loss of strength is consistent with loss of mobility and independence, and the need for ins tu onal care. Although loss of muscle and strength with age is inevita-ble, there's interes ng nutri on research that shows promise in slowing the progression.

Protein intake - amount, type and ming through the day - seem to play a role.

Amount Currently the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein for adults age 65 and older is between 1 and 1.2 g/kg a day for healthy adults. Those with sarcopenia may need 1.2 to 1.5 g/kg a day. This RDA was set in 2002. Studies show that 12 percent of men and 24 percent of women over age 70 eat significantly less than 0.8 g/kg a day. These higher recommenda ons do not translate into a lot of extra protein. To figure out how much protein you'd need, take your weight in pounds and mul ply it by 0.45. Then mul ply by 1.2 to reach the recommended grams of protein per day. For a person who weighs 200 lb. (90 kg), this would equal about 108 g of protein daily. Most meat, poultry and fish have about 7 grams of protein in an ounce. One cup of milk or one egg has about 8 grams.

Type The type of protein you eat also seems to play a role in preven ng muscle loss. Dietary protein is made up many types of amino acids. The amino acid leucine has been shown to preserve body muscle. Leucine is found in higher amounts in animal foods: beef, lamb, pork, poultry, fish, eggs, milk and products made with milk. It's also found in soybeans and, to a lesser extent, other beans, nuts and seeds.

10 Signs That it's Time to Limit or Stop Driving ~by AARP Driver Safety, January 2010~

Most people want to con nue driving for as long as they can do so safely. However, for many people, a me will come when they must limit or stop driving, either temporarily or permanently. The following are some warning signs that indicate a person should begin to limit or stop driving.

1. Almost crashing, with frequent "close calls"

2. Finding dents and scrapes on the car, on fences, mail-boxes, garage doors, curbs, etc.

3. Ge ng lost, especially in familiar loca ons

4. Having trouble seeing or following traffic signals, road signs, and pavement markings

5. Responding more slowly to unexpected situa ons, or having trouble moving their foot from the gas to the brake pedal; confusing the two pedals

6. Misjudging gaps in traffic at intersec ons and on high-way entrance and exit ramps

7. Experiencing road rage or causing other drivers to honk or complain

8. Easily becoming distracted or having difficulty concen-tra ng while driving

9. Having a hard me turning around to check the rear view while backing up or changing lanes

10. Receiving mul ple traffic ckets or “warnings” from law enforcement officers.

(For informa on on the next “AARP Safe Driving Class,” see page 6.)

Timing The best ming to eat protein remains a ques on. It's been shown that ea ng foods that contain protein through-out the day s mulates development of muscle. However, dietary habits show that most protein is eaten later in the day. The quan ty of protein eaten — not the pa ern of in-take — has also been shown to be important in preserving muscle. What's my take away? It doesn't take much more protein to achieve the higher goals. Ea ng 3 to 4 ounces of lean meat, poultry, fish, soy products, beans or legumes at each meal along with a cup or two of lower-fat milk daily can get you in the ballpark. If your appe te isn't up to speed, or if you get full quick-ly, have smaller meals and snacks that have protein. Eat protein first, and eat processed carbs last (if at all). It can do your body good. Don't forget that weight-bearing exercise is just as important as protein in maintaining muscles.

Inac ve Adults can Reverse Health risks with Exercise

Months and even years of inac vity and unhealthy habits are reversible with a li le pro-ac ve lifestyle change, according to one

study. Conducted by Duke University research-ers, the study found that adults who place them-selves at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease can cut their risk level or eliminate it completely, simply by inves ng as much me engaged in exercise as

they previously spent inac ve.

For example, researchers found that adults who showed key risk factors for type 2 diabetes, in-cluding weight gain and elevated blood sugar,

and who had spent the previous six months inac-ve were able to completely reverse the effects of their inac vity a er an addi on-

al six months of regular exercise.

What's Your Story?

Everyone has a story even if they think they don't. My mind has been wandering to some of the summer stories of my early child-hood. Those were the days of uncovered irriga on ditches, s cks from the yard, bits of string, big diaper pins, and fishing. Already, I think you know where this story is going. That is the way it is with stories. Someone tells a story from their childhood and someone thinks "I use to do that." I think I had a pre y normal childhood. Many of the things I did as a child are things a lot of children did, especially if they were from a small rural community. If you talk to my rela ves, they think I was more ac ve than most children. If you talk to my hus-band, he s ll thinks I am more ac ve than most people and I am just pulling him along for the ride. Oh well, there I go Meandering again. Where was I? My summer childhood story starts with water running down the open ditch in the back of our house. It wasn't a dangerous ditch. It was just one of those marvelous ditches where you could play, get wet, and dry off before anyone caught you. This is a "Fishing" story though and I don't remember my friends and I ge ng wet. We were too busy trying to catch a fish. It didn't ma er that there were no fish within miles of our ditch. I think we all just assumed that if there was water there would be fish. Most of us had never been fishing with an adult and none of us really knew anything about fishing. All we knew is you needed a fishing pole, a line and a hook. That sounded easy enough. First we would scour the backyard or any other place that there might be a s ck that was just right for a child's fishing pole. It had to be perfectly straight, just the right size for a small child to hold, and on the end it needed a bump or tree nob so a string would stay on the pole. We had a good me just looking for that perfect s ck. We took our me and when the s ck was found, we would go into my house and start looking through that marvelous junk drawer where mom put odds and ends of things she might need someday. There were usually some pieces of string in the drawer and we could find a piece of wadded up string for each of us. We would get the string, straighten it out, and e it to the end of the s ck just above the bump on the end of the s ck. Next came the hook. Safety pins made great hooks, especially the kind that all our mom's used to pin cloth diapers on our baby brothers and sisters. The bigger the hook the bigger the fish. I liked the good old plain diaper pin that we could use the hole in the middle of the pin to e our string onto. When you opened the pin, there was that huge, sharp, big point that could catch any fish that dared swim by. Mom was usually around the house ,so if we needed help with knots, pins or s cks, she was happy to help. Most of the morning had usually slipped away, by the me we got our poles made. Now it was me to catch some fish! My friends and I would troop out of the house, sit on the ditch bank, and dangle the fish hook (diaper pin) into the water and wait for the "big catch"!. The amount of me we would sit on the ditch bank was equal to the minutes of our age and a en on span. I learned many years later that a child has an a en on span that equals one minute for every year of age. (In the days of my child-hood, it meant, I could sit on the ditch bank any where from four to six minutes and my friends could do likewise.) We would all sit there thrilled with the prospect of catching a fish. It didn't really ma er that we never caught a fish. We were having a good me. A er a very long me of si ng on the bank (four to six minutes) we would decide the fish had all swum away. We would get

up and head for another summer adventure. I never remembered ge ng discouraged when we never caught any fish. The fun was in ge ng ready to fish and si ng in the warm sunshine on the ditch bank with friends. Now, let our minds Meander back to the days of the big diaper pins and cloth diapers. That will require a lot of Meandering. Some of you may not even remember those long ago days. The only reason my fi y year old daughter can recall those days is because she had five brothers and a sister. Yesterday the girls in our family had our annual "Girls Day Out" and my daughter was talking of the days when she had to wash the "mess" out of her baby brother's cloth diaper. We waited un l AFTER lunch to bring up that memory. If you want to get a reac on from a teen or a young adult of this day, just tell them about the days of "cloth" diapers and the way we had to wash s nky diapers out in the toilet. See, most of you do have stories to tell. I actually had my last three children during the first days of disposable diapers. By that me, all my cloth diapers had worn out from the first three children. I gleefully imagined using the worn out diapers as burp cloths, dust rags, washing the car rags and any other kind of rag I needed. I bought disposable diapers for child number four and within a few weeks, his li le bo om was fire engine red with diaper rash. Our doctor said it was from an allergy to the disposable diapers and to get him back in cloth diapers. OH! NO! That meant I had to buy all new cloth diapers. What a let down! Our children, numbers five and six, had to wear the same cloth diapers as child number four because the cloth in the diapers was far from being worn out. No use spending all our money on throw away diapers, when we had all those cloth diapers I could wash out in the "you know what." At least I had a clothes dryer where the washed diapers became so and easy to fold. My mother only had clothes lines outside. When my li le sister was born in the Historic winter of January 1949, we either had diapers and all the other wash hanging on clothes racks all over the house or mom had to hang the wash out on the clothes' lines un l the diapers and clothes were frozen solid. I never knew why clothes were hung out, frozen, and then brought back into the house to dry. Give me automa c washers and dryers any day. See everyone does have a story to tell. I told a Fishing Story, which we can say was for the men, especially those that are fish-ing with the Senior Center. Next that made my mind Meander to diaper pins, cloth diapers and babies We will say that story is for the women. Men or women, we all have stories. Why not tell somebody one of yours?
