The first show is at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 2 and features Jerry Donato, saxophone; John Darst, guitar; Jack Radavich, bass; Gerry Reynolds, drums; and special guest Lew Turano, piano. Donato is a studio session, show and concert, corporate and club performer — listen to the versatile and finesse of Jerry’s amazing sax playing in a quintet formed for this performance.

He is a regular performer at Valley venues, such as the Sacred Grounds Coffee House with Armand Boatman, Cinco de Moio with drummer Dom Moio, The Ritz, and with piano sensation Nicole Pesce, naming just a few. Darst says the major artists influencing his playing are Johnny Smith, Howard Roberts, Joe Pass, Herb Ellis and Wes Montgomery. He studied jazz at the University of Utah, and then played the gamut of bands, from country, blues to be-bop in the Los Angeles area for many years. More recently he moved to a 36-acre ranch in the Show Low area, and he now leads his jazz band in a weekly engagement at The Salt restaurant and other venues in the White Mountain area.

AT THE MOVIES

STRANGE BUT TRUE BY SAMANTHA WEAVER

2016 KING FEATURES SYND.

• The earliest known brothel was located in Sumer (now southeastern Iraq), all the way back in 3300 B.C.E. • The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, which took place in Tombstone, Ariz., at about 3 p.m. on Oct. 26, 1881, is probably the most famous shootout in the history of the Old West. You might be surprised to learn, though, that the gunfight didn’t actually happen at the O.K. Corral, or even next to it — the gunfight took place in an empty lot six doors down. • A futurist in the 1950s made the following prediction: “There will come a time when every country in the world will have a computer.”

• Etymology — the study of words’ history, their origins and how their form and meaning have changed over time — is fascinating. For example, take the term “shilly-shally,” meaning to vacillate. In the 18th century, “shill” was another form of “shall,” and people trying to make a difficult decision might ask themselves “Shill I? Shall I?” Over time it was shortened to the form we use today. • If your scissors are getting dull, don’t waste time and effort with sharpening stones; all you have to do is cut up sheets of sandpaper to hone the cutting edges. • Those who study such things say that if you added up the body masses of all the people on the planet right now, it would amount to roughly 750 billion pounds.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Taking the next step in weight-loss journey BY KEITH ROACH, M.D.

2016 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been trying to lose weight, with no results. I have cut back on carbs and sugar. In general, I watch what I eat. I also go to the YMCA and work out — in the water mostly, because my legs hurt so much. I weigh 286 pounds. I would love to lose 100 pounds, but I am not having any luck. When I go to my primary-care doctor, he tells me that I need to lose weight. When I tell him what I have been doing to try to lose weight, he doesn’t believe me. I think I need more help with my weight problem. I don’t know if I should find a new doctor, or what! — J.S. ANSWER: I have heard variations of this story so many times from my own patients that I am sure you are trying. However, losing weight is a very difficult thing to do. Once your body has reached a certain weight, it is incredibly hard to get things turned around. Fortunately, it is possible for everyone to lose weight. But you certainly do need some help. So does your primary-care doctor. As an alternative to getting a new one, I think it might be worthwhile to see an expert in weight loss, since this is a field requiring knowledge of new medications, as well as potentially using medications approved for other conditions in an “off label” way to help you lose weight. One of the first things to look at is the medicines you already take. Most primary-care doctors don’t know (and I mightn’t have, if I didn’t work at an institution where research and teaching about this goes on) how many medications for blood pressure, depression, epilepsy and diabetes (among others) can cause weight gain as a side effect. Sometimes switching medications can help a great deal. Most primary-care doctors are uncomfortable prescribing medications for weight loss, especially after the disaster caused by the combination of dexfenfluramine and phen-

termine (fen-phen). There are newer and safer medications now. Metabolic conditions such as Cushing’s disease and hypothyroidism need to be looked for. Careful evaluation of the diet — using food diaries and often enlisting the expertise of a registered dietician nutritionist — is of paramount importance. Since there is so much misinformation, I almost always find people eating unhealthy foods and avoiding healthy ones, to their detriment. You should be congratulated on finding an exercise that you can do, and be encouraged to do so every day. Finally, since you are 100 pounds or so overweight, your doctor also should consider the risks and benefits of bariatric surgery, the most effective way (and only reliable one for most people) of losing that much weight. DR. ROACH WRITES: After I wrote about essential tremor, several people who suffer from this condition, as well as several clinicians, wrote to tell me about a product called Liftware that helps many (but not all) people with hand tremor eat with less difficulty. It’s a handle that you can attach a fork or spoon to, and it reduces the amount of shaking. It’s available at liftlabsdesign.com. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu.

BRING AUTUMN COLORS TO SPICED SWEETS Cooler temperatures, beautiful changing leaves and the familiar scent of pumpkin pie spice are all signs of fall. Whether you’re hosting a pumpkin carving party or decorating sweet treats with family, celebrate the season with maple-flavored leaf-shaped cookies, pumpkin patch cupcakes and hot apple cider. “The crisp air seems to inspire us all to start baking again,” said McCormick Executive Chef Kevan Vetter. “Create an autumn frosting palate with our new Color from Nature Food Colors, which are made from ingredients such as beets and turmeric. You can combine the trio of starter colors berry, sunflower and sky blue - to make everything from a maroon glaze for an Autumn Leaf Cookie to orange frosting for a Pumpkin Patch Cupcake.” The Color from Nature Food Colors can be used in icing, beverages and other no-bake recipes for best results.

1/4 teaspoon of the Berry color. Spread top of cupcakes with green frosting. Using a fork, gently touch frosting in different directions to resemble grass spikes. To make the pumpkins, microwave the orange frosting on HIGH 10 to 20 seconds or until runny. Using a fork, dip marshmallow halves into frosting mixture, then place on top of frosted cupcakes. Let stand until pumpkin frosting has dried. Press a Tootsie Roll half in center of each pumpkin for the stem. Decorate leaves and vines with remaining green frosting, if desired.
