RETREATS from the HEAT

Ways To Improve Your Blood PressureBy Crystal Jarvie (Lovin’ Life After 50, Oct ’16, pg 33)

Friendship Day, the fi rst Sunday of August, is a day to nurture relationships, new and old. It’s a really easy and fun day to celebrate. Start the day by getting in touch with some old friends. Start early. Chances are, your friends know it’s Friendship Day. You want to beat them to the punch, and contact them fi rst. Phone calls, emails, Ecards, are great tools. See if you can make plans for lunch with a friend today, or some other day (soon). Then, catch up to some of your current pals and buddies. Make sure to do some interesting things with them before the day is through. As you go through the day, be ever vigilant to spot an opportunity to make a new friend. Origin of Friendship Day: In 1935, the United States Congress, proclaimed the fi rst Sunday of August as National Friendship Day. Following the popularity and success of Friendship Day in US, several other countries adopted the tradition of dedicating a day to friends. Friendship Day is celebrated by several countries around the world.

National Senior Citizens Day, August 21st, honors our senior population.

On this day, we are encouraged to recognize and show appreciation for the value and contribution of that they’ve made to home, family and society. In his Presidential Proclamation 5847 (August 19, 1988), President Ronald

Reagan said “For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks

and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure

that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older.”

National Dog Day, August 26th, has two goals: to honor dogs, and to rescue dogs from homelessness and abuse. It’s an opportunity for us to recognize and appreciate the value and importance of dogs in our lives. This day is intended

to honor dogs for all that they do for us. In addition to giving love and companionship, dogs help us out in countless ways. They are watchdogs for our safety. They lead the blind. Dogs aid in search and rescue, and they seek out bombs and drugs. The second goal of National Dog Day is to rescue dogs in need. On occasion, dogs need us to save them from homelessness and abuse. The goal of the National Dog Day foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs a year. Lend a hand to help a dog in need today, or any day. The origin of National Dog Day was created by the National Dog Day Foundation. Their motto is “Saving 10,000 Dogs - One Day at a Time”. President George W. Bush, a dog owner himself, sent a letter to the foundation in support of National Dog Day.

High temperatures got you down? The excuse of “dry heat” doesn’t work anymore? The swimming pool water is even too warm and so is the house faucet water? You’ve fi nally run out of sunscreen lotion?

Three small towns in Arizona will welcome Phoenix/Mesa area visitors who are trying to get a break from the high heat. Payson, ShowLow and Strawberry all have lower August temperatures and plenty of sites to see in the cooler weather.

89 degrees -average August temperatures in Payson. Bring your earmuff s! 2-3 inches of August rain-cool off . Payson, once named Green Valley, was laid out in the early 1880’s by the local blacksmith and a rancher. The survey was complete in 1882. It was one of the most remote settlements in the West, hidden in the upper regions of the Tonto Basin. Cattle and goats were allowed to run freely the year round til a general round up was held and all livestock taken to one place. Therefore, it could be argued then that rodeos were common in Payson long before the 1884 celebration that launched an annual event. Today, drive or bike the Mogollan Rim; visit the Zane Grey Museum, the Shoofl y Indian ruins,or the Tonto Natural Bridge. 24 antique, art, and gift stores await your shopping experience. Cabins and campgrounds are convenient as is a local casino.(paysonrimcountry.com)

83 degrees-average August temperature in ShowLow. With a population of more than 10,800, this small town in the White Mountains got its name in a card game-so the legend goes. In a game called Seven-Up, the winner, Corydon Cooley, turned up a low card ( “show low card”) and won more vacant space around his ranch and named the settlement ShowLow to commemorate his win. Today visitors can walk the Fool Hollow Lake Rec Area, or ShowLow Park; ask questions at the local museum or brewery; There are gift and

specialty shops for shopping and many vacation rentals to use for a night’s sleep.(arizonaoddities.com)

81 degrees – average August temperature in Strawberry, Arizona. Cool off ! Go fi shing

in Strawberry; visit the Verde Hot Springs: even hike with llamas at a local ranch. This small town was established by 4 Mormon families in 1879, and named for the many wild strawberries found growing in the area. Most of the settlers arrived in 1882. This village ,too, sits beneath the Monogollan Rim. Wonder at and enjoy the shade from the tall Ponderosa pine trees that surround the town and the area, helping to make for cooler temperatures. (angelfi re.com)

Just approximately 2 hours north of our valley, it’s possible to have fun and even get a break from the heat in these three smaller towns with cooler temperatures and plenty to do.

People with hypertension often need several medications to control blood pressure. But did you know that many lifestyle modifi cations can make a world of diff erence?

High blood pressure plays a contributing role in more than 13% of deaths in the United States, according to a Harvard study. Although it causes no symptoms, high blood pressure boosts the risks of leading killers such as heart attack and stroke, as well as aneurysms, cognitive decline, and kidney failure. While medication can lower blood pressure, it may cause side eff ects such as leg

cramps, dizziness and insomnia, just to name a few. Fortunately, most people can bring down their blood pressure naturally without medication with home remedies for low blood pressure. First, one of the most important factors is to get to a healthy weight. The following can also help reduce the risk of heart disease and improve your blood pressure. Exercise regularly. Exercise helps the heart use oxygen more

effi ciently so it doesn’t work as hard to pump. Go for power walks. Reduce your sodium. Reduce added salt. Do not eat

packaged or processed products. Eat more greens. Common options include bok choy, napa cabbage, kale, collards, watercress, mustard greens and broccoli. Incorporate potassium-rich produce to help achieve low blood

pressure, such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, orange juice, potatoes, bananas, kidney

beans, peas, cantaloupe, honeydew melon and dried fruits. Eat monounsaturated fats. They will raise good HDL and lower LDL. They are considered heart-healthy. Avadacos, olives, olive oil, nuts, sunfl ower oil, seeds, halibut, sablefi sh, mackerel, vegetables high in oleic-acid. Eat polyunsaturated fats. Salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, trout, fresh tuna, [etc]. Raise good HDL and lower LDL. Omega fatty acids are considered anti-infl ammatory. Breathe. Yoga and meditation decrease stress hormones, which elevate rennin, a kidney enzyme that raises blood pressure.

CHAPEL NOTESRichard Koerselman

“Are you ready?” Our neighbor yells at our front door. We shout back, “Be there in a few minutes.” We like people who are ready. No one likes to wait, at least not in this instant generation.

While on a South Pole expedition, British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton left a few men on Elephant Island, promising that he would return. Later, when he tried to go back, huge icebergs blocked the way. But suddenly, as if by a miracle, an avenue opened in the ice and Shackleton was able to get through. His men, ready and waiting, quickly scrambled aboard. No sooner had the ship cleared the island than the ice crashed together behind them.

Contemplating their narrow escape, the explorer said to his men, “Itwas fortunate you were all packed and ready to go!” They replied, “ We never gave up hope. Whenever the sea was clear of ice, we rolled up our sleeping bags and reminded each other, The boss may come today.”

They lived in constant expectation of the Captain coming back. It worked. They would likely have died if they were not ready. They knew how to wait.

There was a word used in the early church a couple of thousand years ago that was all about being ready. The word is Maranatha - which means, Our

Lord Comes, which naturally leads us to ask, “Are we ready?”

When these early church Christians gathered, they didn’t say “hello” or “goodbye.” They said, “Maranatha!” That kept their eyes on the future; it kept them from getting stuck in the past. When we look to the future, we can anticipate, prepare for, await for something better to come our way. We all need to be people of the future, ready to meet the challenges before us. We need to be packed and ready to go, whether it is to a better place on this earth or, by faith, to our eternal home.

GOLF CONDO IIMimi Handorff

In case you didn’t see a Golf Condo II article for July--I did not forget to write one—it was quiet on Laguna Azul so no reason to interrupt that solitude.

There are a few updates on some of our residents. I am very sorry to report that Neville Coppin, #146, passed away on June 16, 2017. A memorial service will be held at SVE in November. Condolences to his wife Donna and family.

Flo Hambley #160 moved to Fellowship Square and would welcome visitors.

Shirley Halverson #274 is currently residing at Savanna House. Hubby Dick visits every day. Bill Veach #260 completed a month of radiation treatments. Bill says, “It’s over!!” And he is doing very well.

Our snowbirds are happy to be back north as Arizona June temps soared—making history, making news of the day everywhere, and assuring the “Birds” they made the right decision to return to their summer “nests”. Those of us here all planned our days wisely and survived. Your writer thought her June 7-day trip to Oregon would bring relief from Arizona temps---not totally. Portland had 102 degree temps for two days.

I will leave you with this piece of wisdom: There is a big diff erence between 105 degrees and 115 or 118 or 121 degrees—even though it’s a “dry” heat.

Long Range Planning Committee

Paul Christoff ersA Prayer for Long Range Planning

A resident was overheard praying: “Lord, I hate buttermilk. And Lord, I also hate lard. And while I’m at it Lord, you know I don’t care much for raw fl our. But Lord, when you mix everything together and put them in an oven, I do love those fresh biscuits. So Lord, when things come up that we don’t

like, when others have a diff erent opinion, and when we don’t always agree as to how to accomplish a goal, we just need to relax and work together and probably it will end up being something even better than biscuits.”

We live in a great community but our village needs to pull together for a better tomorrow. Your long range planning committee would like to know your ideas and dreams for SVE. What do you want our village to look like in one year, fi ve years or ten years from now? What needs to stay the same? Can we make it better, and if so how? There are no silly ideas and one idea can grow and evolve. This is your village and your opportunity to share in this exciting process. Your LRPC wants to serve the majority of our residents while at the same time respecting the minority.

Please deliver your ideas and comments to the SVE offi ce or email them to:LRPC@sv ehoa.com. Also watch your email for a survey from the SVE offi ce – your response is important!

BOCCE CLUB NEWSLois Wierenga

Things are quiet on the Bocce courts due to the “triple digits”. But we’ll be back as soon as it cools down a bit playing at 6:30pm Monday thru Thursday. The game is very simple and we are always willing to teach new players.

In the meantime, get off the couch and come out to the Auditorium any Friday from 12:30 to 2:45 to enjoy some free, fantastic entertainment. By the way, this is an open event. You do not have to be a Bocce member to attend. We have a 50/50 drawing each week and there is a well- stocked concession stand too.

We also have a Bocce Social the second Saturday of every month at the Mesa Verde room starting at 6 pm. This also is an open event so bring your friends for some fun and games.

We currently have over 100 members in the Bocce Club and I have to say I miss all of you during this hot and slow season. If any of you have a personal update that you might like to share with other members, please call me and I will send out a bulk email. (708-341-4616).

FITNESS CLUBGary Chestek

In the July Outlook article, I touched on the importance of keeping our bodies active and moving. With the run of extreme hot weather, it is easy to recluse oneself and stay home.

I’m guilty of this myself; however, if adults can motivate themselves to visit our Fitness

Centers, they can beat the heat in air-conditioning and enhance their physical, emotional and mental well-being. In this article, I will briefl y focus on the increased mental capacity we experience when active versus passive involvement.

Scientists have been linking the benefi ts of physical exercise to brain health for many years, but recent research has made it clear the two are directly related. Scientifi c evidence shows that physical activity increases cognitive abilities, and in eff ect, reduces brain shrinkage. Activity encourages the brain to work at optimum capacity by causing nerve cells to multiply, strengthening interconnections, and protecting them from damage. There are multiple mechanisms at play here, but some are becoming more well-understood than others.

The reasons for this can best and simply be perceived visually. Take a look at these images, showing the dramatic increase in brain activity after a 20 minute walk, compared to sitting quietly for the same amount of time. Our brain engages when involved in minimal activity. We all can fi nd 20 minutes a day. We look forward to seeing you in the Fitness Centers!

COUPLES’ GOLFSandi Slater

The couples continue to golf every Friday morning through the warm summer months, although we are teeing off earlier in the day to beat the heat. The couples who usually play 18 holes have joined the 9 hole couples to play only 9 holes on Friday morning, and we welcome the opportunity to golf with people we haven’t played with in the past.

We participated in the Fourth of July Tournament sponsored by the Ladies Golf League. This was a four person scramble for 18 holes, and the winning team was Mike Kohrn, Jo Hansen, Wayne Deerberg and Thelma Whitaker. It was rumored they had fi ve birdies! (Rumor confi rmed by an unnamed source.)

During June, July and August we have fewer couples getting together for the Friday evening social, and we have taken advantage of that by having a pizza party at Fat Willy’s patio one Friday each month during the summer months. We look forward to the next pizza party on the patio on the 18th of August. These parties have been very well attended, and we enjoy another opportunity of not having to cook. . . Thank you, Sue Edholm, for planning these events!

LADIES’ GOLFGayLynn Brewer

TENNIS TALKSandy Saxena

We are defi nitely in the throes of the hot, lazy days of summer. For the year-round residents in SVE, the heat seemed to come early this year in June. As we drifted into July, the monsoons fi nally gave us come relief. Most of the play at SVE nowadays is during the cooler morning and evening hours. You’ll rarely see anyone at the courts between 10am and twilight. If you’re curious about tennis, come up to the courts and start a conversation with one of our friendly players. We would love to see you and talk about how much fun we have playing tennis in the summer and in league.

If you are new in the village, or just haven’t considered it before, and, would like to play next season in league, contact John Masquelier for rating and team information at 775-762-6422 or jrmasq@gmail.com. You can also get information on the SVE Tennis

Club website, https://sites.google.com/site/svetennis/, where you’ll fi nd other useful information and a list of the club’s offi cers. Free instruction will resume in the fall.

You are welcome to come to courts and try your hand at tennis

during one of our round robins on Monday, Wednesday and Friday between

7am and 8:30am. Court 6 is also reserved for 80+ Round Robin; they may let one of you youngsters play occasionally. Whether you join us or participate in any other outdoor activity, remember to stay hydrated, seek shade and wear a hat, and use sunscreen.

One more interesting tidbit about playing tennis at SVE and the East Valley Senior Tennis League [EVSTL]: most of our players didn’t start playing until they retired. And, the average age of our beginners is 70.

Come and join us!

Golf continues every Tuesday and Thursday morning even though a few days were quite warm during June as the area experienced “above average temperatures.” The monsoon season will bring some showers and cooler weather.

Competition continues in the summer eclectic event and the other ladies are “playing for fun” and the usual prize money. The winners of the 4th of July tournament were Mike Kohrn, Jo Hansen, Wayne

Deerberg and Thelma Whitaker. This event, an 18 holes 4 person scramble, followed by lunch on the patio, was planned by the ladies. Thanks to all who helped with the planning and on tournament day.

New members are welcome anytime during the year. If you are new to the village or haven’t played for a while, now is the perfect time to join the league. The information and application forms are available at the Pro Shop.

Our active singles are going to slow down a little in August after a very busy July. We had our annual indoor picnic plus 3 other activities in July. Our Social Committee for the month did an outstanding job even making root beer fl oats for our monthly birthday night. Thank you, Joan, Eva, and Elaine for working so hard to keep us entertained. We will only be having 2 activities during August so we can spend some of these hot days indoors cooling off .

If you are a single man or woman living in SVE, we would love to have you join our club. We meet in the Mesa Verde Room every Wednesday from 6:30pm until 8:30pm or a little later for games, cards, and most of all, friendship. We also do fun group activities that are planned by our members.

DOGS ‘R US

L. PaulsenHi! We’re Zapper and Candy ---Pembroke Welsh

Corgis. Some of our relatives are “royal” dogs belonging to Queen Elizabeth. The Corgi breed was developed in Wales and has been traced back as far as 1107 AD. The generally accepted view is that the name corgi is made up from Welsh words cor (meaning dwarf) and ci (meaning dog). That “dwarf” thing is an apt description since we Corgis have short legs and long bodies. Even with our short legs, we are great herding dogs.

We have enjoyed meeting other dogs and people through the SVE Dog Club. We’re quite friendly so if you see us walking with our owners, Sandi and Bill around SVE, please stop and introduce yourself – especially if you are carrying any dog “cookies” with you!

Our club meetings will resume September 16, 9:30 a .m., Mesa Verde Room.

FHE(Family Home Evening Group)

Darlene DalleyThe Family Home Evening Group meets the second

Monday of every month in the Mesa Verde Room at 6:00 pm. In August, we will meet on the 14th. We will be having our usual pot luck dinner. Please plan to bring a dish that serves about 12 people. All table service items are furnished. Our meals are always delicious as people often bring their very best recipe. During the summer months we also doing some special things like frying hamburgers and serving homemade ice cream.

Also during the summer months we change our program a little to include playing some games. Those games can be anything from dominoes, to games with dice, to guessing games about words to our favorite songs to who’s picture in their youth that is, or some of

the sites to see around the country. The games will be easy a lots of fun. Just plan on having a good time together.

Anyone and everyone is invited to attend. However, please call

Darlene Dalley at 480-986-6985 to advise us if you plan to join us so that we can have an

accurate count for the table space we will need.

Military VeteransLinda Hayden

Veterans Day is fast approaching. And once again we will honor all SVE veterans. This year we will play a video (before and after the ceremony) highlighting SVE veterans with their picture, their name, and branch of service. If you would like to be featured in the video, please provide a military picture to Linda Hayden (951-237-8142) or Jack Garner (480-986-8211). If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call myself or Jack.

SUNLAND STITCHERSFreda Klein

To all the people who sew the surgical hats for Cardon Children’s Hospital, a BIG thank you from

a family with a grandchild who received several hats due to an on- going illness.

Grandma said the hat he got each time made him very happy, and he still treasures his hats as a reminder of

what he has overcome. Grandma was profuse in her praise of all the people making the

hats. We seldom get feedback from people we touch in small ways.

Nine ladies went out to lunch last month at Olive

Garden and had a great time. We are moving forward

on our Paddle Wheel blocks and several quilts

have already been layered and quilted.

Larry Soper has donated three quilts to the Stitchers, one of them an Underground Quilt pattern.

Sometime near Thanksgiving the Stitchers will be selling Christmas quilts in the lobby of Washington Federal Credit Un ion.

TRAVEL NEWSSharon Kummerfeldt

Greetings! Instead of doing the customary monthly travel letter in the Outlook, I would like to clarify a few misconceptions.

After conversing with several of the SVE residents, I am amazed that so many are unaware that the SVE travel consultants… (Mickey and now me) give a portion of our commission to the SVE Association. I can plan your African safari or your family vacations anywhere you decide to make your dreams and memories come alive….not limited to what I describe monthly in the Outlook. I belong to a great team, Terra Travel and we share our travel knowledge of the worldly destinations.

I am a believer in traveling while you are still able as the golden years creep up on us quickly. My monthly travel meetings are not a huge success at 10:00 am on the 3rd

Thursday of the month and would like your feedback in what would work best for you.

I am most fl exible with time and can be reached at 406-672-6991 or email Sharonfayek24@gmail.com. Private appointments are available.

There are numerous day trips that are available and the cancellation rate is very low as there are two consortiums that work together to make smooth travels, not to mention they off er the best tour guides on board their coaches.

Let’s have some fun and celebrate life while we can.There’s still room on the group cruise to Hawaii on the

Star Princess on October 25th to November 9th. Join our fun group and the more the merrier.
