New Isn’t Always Improved Metal Hips Failing At An Alarming Rate Metal hip replacements have accounted for close to a third of all hip replacements used in the last decade. Metal-on-metal hip replacements were marketed to physicians and patients as having a longer product life expectancy to give younger, active patients more pain-free mobility for 15-20 years or more. This “new” technology has come with a price. Scientists and doctors are finding that metal particles can rub off from the device and enter a patient’s bloodstream, creating a metal poisoning known as metallosis. Other complications include loosening of the implant, dislocation, swelling and pain. Patients experiencing a problematic hip may need
revision surgery just a few years after the original surgery. Injuries sustained from a defective hip replacement can cause both tremendous pain and financial hardship. Legal claims against some hip manufacturers can help certain patients cover some of the high costs of ongoing medical care and any future surgeries that may be required. If you or a loved one have experienced complications from a hip replacement, or have been told by your doctor that your hip replacement needs to be redone, it may be important to contact an attorney who can help you protect your potential legal claim.

It’s Important To Receive Annual Flu Shots Influenza, commonly known as “the flu,” is a highly contagious disease caused by influenza viruses. The disease is spread from person to person through coughing, sneezing and direct contact with nasal secretions. In fact, the virus can be transmitted from the day before symptoms present to approximately five days after symptoms begin. Common symptoms include fever, chills, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue and runny or stuffy nose. These symptoms can worsen existing health conditions and cause fatal complications, the most common being pneumonia. Those who are at high risk of developing flu-related complications include adults 65 years of age and older, pregnant women, and children younger than 5 years old.
the viruses; however, these antibodies decline in about one year. Therefore, due to the constant changing viruses and decline of vaccine-induced antibodies, it is important to get vaccinated every year. Who should take precautions prior to vaccination? • If you have a severe allergic reaction
Prevention: There are two types of flu vaccines: • Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (IIV), also known as “the flu shot,” is made with killed viruses. It is administered in the upper arm as either an injection into the muscle (intramuscular) or into the skin (intradermal). Intramuscular injections are approved for ages 6 months and older and intradermal injections are approved for ages 18 through 64 years. The most common side effects are local reactions including soreness, redness or swelling at the injection site. These reactions are mild and generally last one to two days. IIV can be given with other vaccines and adults ages 65 years and older can be given the either the standard or high dose influenza vaccine. • Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) is made with weakened viruses and is administered as a spray into the nostrils. LAIV is approved for use only in healthy, nonpregnant persons ages 2 through 49. Common side effects include cough, runny nose, nasal congestion and sore throat. LAIV can be given with other vaccines on the same day. However, live vaccines not administered on the same day should be administered four or more weeks apart. Efficacy: Influenza viruses are always changing and scientists try to match the viruses in the vaccine to those most likely to cause the flu each year. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for your body to develop antibodies against
to eggs or ever had a severe allergic reaction after a flu vaccine. Note: There is an alternative flu vaccine available, Flublok, which does not contain egg protein and is recommended by the CDC for those with egg allergies. • If you ever had Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) within six weeks following a previous dose of an influenza
vaccine, talk to your doctor first. • If you have a moderate or severe acute illness, you should wait until you recover before getting the flu vaccine. Influenza vaccinations can be given at any Walgreens pharmacy any time during pharmacy hours of operation. For more information about influenza vaccinations, talk to your Walgreens pharmacist.
On medicare part B and have diaBetes?
New Medicare changes may limit where you can get your diabetes testing supplies. The good news is that diabetes testing supplies are available at every Walgreens along with: • Easy, direct billing of Medicare Part B and most supplemental insurance • A wide selection of major national brands • Convenient 90-day supplies
It’s easy to switch! Visit your local Walgreens or call 888-380-8051. Walgreens is an accredited Medicare Part B supplier of diabetes testing supplies.

opinion Sound Off To the man in Sun City Grand driving his older black Camaro around without mufflers: Do the neighbors really have to report you to police to get you to stop annoying everybody? On that note, why don’t motorcycles have to obey noise laws? Come on everybody. Let’s just get along. Thanks for printing the Lovin’ Life After 50 comments from grandma. The economy is recovering just not fast enough for the instant gratification generations, despite the distracting Congress naysayers to progress giving credits to someone else. Drew Alexander does not realize that GOP stands for “Growing Obsolete Party,” in light of an emerging demographic that bodes poorly for the GOP. Here is a political party that has veered so far into crazy right-wing territory it has single handedly marginalized: women, minorities of every variety, young
people and many others, including traditional Republicans. Extremist Republicans are the architects of their own demise, a mixed-blood president and/or progressive members of Congress only need sit back and watch the demise.—Jim Wilson, Tucson What do you want to bet the next business of Congress is to restore conscription to keep the economy moving in manufacturing? Yeah and the next big move of immigrants and citizens all going home to grandpa’s place wherever that originally was. Where do these stupid representatives in Congress come from, anyway? When are the people, the people of this country going to remind (Mitch) McConnell and (John) Boehner they were not elected president of the country? God help us to rid of them, maybe we can get something done. Kudos to the person who wrote about Paula Deen. I think your observation is 100 percent on, and I wish more people would endorse it. Thank you for expressing your views. I know there are more people out there who feel the same way you did.
The Curmudgeon The Seeds of Tyranny : : by Drew Alexander
W
e the people are being wronged. This exceptional young representative republic of ours is being diverted away from its founding constitutional principles toward a centralized government monolith whose primary purpose is a perpetuation of power and selfinterest while shielding its questionable activities from public view. “Everything secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity,” said Lord Acton, the famed 19th century historian and writer. President Barack Obama has circled the wagons of his administration, refusing to be forthright with the American citizenry in what is now
scandal upon scandal. No matter how the president and his minions attempt to deflect our attention away from some very disturbing conduct, no matter how they callously label these grave occurrences as “phony scandals” and that they “happened a long time ago” and “what difference does it make now,” we the people must still demand to know the who, what, when and where of each instance of seriously problematic if not criminal behavior. It has been a year since the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that claimed the life of our ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other courageous Americans. Earlier this year, thenSecretary of State Hillary Clinton
page 6 : : Lovin’ Life After 50 : : September 2013
The first opinion in the August 2013 edition states “There’s no end to the superficial criticism of Obama, criticism that’s based upon hate and not fact.” The writer then lists 10 “facts” aimed at what the Romney administration would have done, that are based solely on supposition and void of fact, since none of them took place. Obama has a paper trail—he has a record—it is recorded. It is fact. And yes I hate what he is doing to the country I love. Not because he is black but because of his policies—there is a tremendous difference. He may not be personally
responsible for each action, but he sets the tone for the administration. Do you notice how most of the things that are being done under his administration lack his personal endorsement? Some bureaucrat is always making the announcement. It gives a new meaning to “Teflon Man.” It’s the Sgt. Schultz Syndrome! It will be interesting. Will Hillary use the phrase “the past administration?”—Chuck Flagge Have you noticed how billionaires can always sacrifice a few million to knock ...continues on page 26

testified before Congress, shedding no light on the deadly Benghazi debacle. She did, however, take “full responsibility” for the “missteps” leading up to the attack, which must be oh so comforting to the families of the men killed in Libya. One year later, we the people are still on the outside looking in at the Obama inner circle keeping a tight muzzle on the Benghazi calamity. Nearly three years later, Attorney General Eric Holder arrogantly continues to stonewall Congress and the American people about the “gunwalking” fiasco known as “Fast and Furious” that resulted in the death of border agent Brian Terry. Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue Service has been illegally targeting tax-exempt applications from conservative and religious groups for anomalous scrutiny; the Holder Justice Department has been tracking and probing three Fox News Channel journalists because they spoke to government officials while doing their

jobs; and over at the National Security Agency it appears that everyone’s e-mails, online chats and telephone calls are under surveillance. These chilling assaults on the Constitution and on we the people must be placed squarely on the doorstep of the White House. Lofty but empty rhetoric by President Obama is no substitute for the truth. It’s time he made good on his 2008 promise for a more transparent government by ending the lies, disinformation, deception and cover-ups generated by his administration. Against the backdrop of a disastrous nationalized health care law that the majority of Americans dislike, an appallingly poor economy, the worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression, and a feeble foreign policy, scandals of the depth and scope we are witnessing cannot be dismissed as mere mistakes or incompetence. They are something more ominous. They are the breeding ground for the seeds of tyranny.

The Up Side
A Dance With Three Shoes : : by Michael Grady
“I
t’s time,” my wife will say, and we exchange grim nods before I rise. It is then, with a loaded sigh, that I forsake couch, ballgame and the comforts of suburban life to don the attire of a killer. In dark jeans, longsleeved shirt and covered shoes—three of them—I pause at the patio door. “Keep the lights off and the shades down,” I instruct her. “Turn the television up. Try not to listen.” And out I slip—into the night. Centuries ago, our pioneer forebears slipped out under the cloak of darkness to defend their homesteads from raiders. They did this so well— stripping the landscape of everything from Vikings to Confederates to aggressive Girl Scouts—there are very few things to fend off anymore. Unless you live in the West. Here, domesticity’s dark crevasses are occupied by tiny poisonous land lobsters—creatures so obnoxious their entire backsides flip you the bird. When I stalk and kill these creatures, I am protecting my homestead from my own kind of invaders. And somewhere, I know, my pioneer forebears are rolling their eyes and saying, “Oh, please.” I’m talking, of course, about scorpion hunting. The dance with three shoes. Insects are a different thing out in the desert. In the Midwest, there isn’t much “fending off:” the ants and roaches come to you and killing them is really a matter of putting your beer down and finding one of your wife’s magazines. My first Arizona bug was a lonely roach, sitting on the closet floor of my student apartment in Tucson. When I raised a newspaper to kill it, it flew at me. It flew! Had it said, “resistance is futile” I would not have been less surprised. I closed the closet, kept my clothes on the floor and wondered if supercharged insects were God’s way of saying: “Stay in Michigan.” It’s a lesson I didn’t remember when my wife first spotted a scorpion in our home. Back then, I had a Tom-andJerry concept of infestation: a scorpion, living in a little scorpion house, waiting to be driven away by animated hijinks. So I bought a blacklight big enough to
www.lovinlifeafter50.com
open a Spencer’s Gifts, and found him glowing like an emerald on our block wall. When I killed him, I felt quite cocky about it. “See honey? Nothing to worry about!” I said, and as I gestured with the blacklight toward my trophy, the block wall glistened with a legion of other emeralds. I won’t go into the details of what happened next. But it was like the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. With very tiny bulls. Since then, I have learned a few things about hunting scorpions which may keep you out of the emergency room, off of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” or both. Go it alone—It is a grim harvest that you reap, my friend. So when you venture out, venture alone. It’s not just that scorpion hunting is risky (And it is risky, if you try to, like, body slam them.) But if you take your spouse, you will be unable to exaggerate the danger when you get back. Don’t wear sandals—With sandals, you hit the scorpion, the scorpion falls off your whacking shoe and onto your bare foot with one sting left in the chamber. An hour later, the urgent care physician will be telling you to stay out of the sandals until your foot is smaller than a Volkswagen. Don’t wear tennis shoes—White tennis shoe laces really jump under blacklight. So after carefully probing your walls and shrubs, the light hits your laces, which glow like a thousand scorpions and you crash into all your own patio furniture. This actually happened...to a friend of mine... Take the Proper Gear—Blacklight in one hand, whacking shoe in the other. Don’t use a fly swatter. Your wife will mock you as soon as you leave the house, and the neighbors will think you are way too serious about flies. Carry a whacking shoe—A scorpion’s natural predator is the shoe. But all your stealth and form can be undermined by a complicated shoe. If the scorpion you smack doesn’t die because he caught the hollow portion of a waffle sole, well, that’s just awkward for both of you. Use a flat, flexible shoe with a shallow squishing
surface. Also, never use a woman’s shoe: the grip is wrong, the soles are too small and the woman it belongs to will heckle you ‘til you’re dead. Scorpions don’t jump—Blacklight casts your home into a strange, purplish landscape. Kind of like walking through Prince’s home. White, nondescript objects will seem to “jump out” at you. Remembering that scorpions do not jump will keep you from swinging blindly at mattress tags, touch-up paint, bathroom caulk or your own shirt buttons. Act natural!—Scorpions do not instinctively run when exposed to the blacklight. Perhaps the ultraviolet rays stun them, or perhaps they think they’re on a game show. Nobody knows. But they can be sensitive to people who point and shriek: “There’s one!” So, once you spot one, act casual. Like you’re looking for some other scorpion, or like you have a Led Zeppelin poster farther down. Then turn dramatically—like a TV lawyer— and swing. A scorpion’s last thought should be: “Hey! You’re going to k--” Use good form—Wide stance, smooth stroke, use your whole body, etc. If you slap like a 5-year-old flailing
at a party piñata, your scorpion will escape and then make fun of you with other scorpions. Hit the scorpion about a dozen times—Scorpions, phone solicitors and Adam Sandler movies all have a way of going lower than you expect and then returning long after you thought you said goodbye. So, once you get a scorpion in your crosshairs, go flamenco on their pointy little asses. Smack ‘til your arm is tired, then switch arms. Remember, a liquefied scorpion is everyone’s friend. Don’t get stung—You wouldn’t think I’d have to say this, but we live in a society where drive-thru coffee has to be labeled “hot.” So, avoid scorpion stings at all costs. If you are stung, wash off your wound, monitor it closely, and share your tale with the fine folks at Poison Control: (800) 2221222. Minimal swelling and soreness is normal. If your vision blurs, your muscles twitch or the wound starts calling you “Margaret,” take it to your local emergency room and show it off. Right away.

The Widow’s Corner Ten Things
: : by Terry Ratner, RN, MFA
T
hese are things you know about your son—a son who died when he was 25. They are secrets whispered in the dark, privileged information that you hold on to with all your strength. It’s like a private club with two members celebrating a life cut short—a life that should have more secrets to share with each other. These are 10 things only you know for sure. Parts one and two appeared in the July and August editions of Lovin’ Life After 50, respectively. The final chapter is here. Ten As a young man, he called to tell you he was sick with the flu. You were concerned and asked him if he had any food in the house. “No, I haven’t been eating much,” he replied. So you went through your cupboards and put some MaltO-Meal and graham crackers in a bag. You stopped at the food store and bought him fresh fruit, eggs and juices. Two days later he called you to say, “I have a small infestation of weevils. Thanks Mom.” He worked out daily. His body was buff and you wondered if he took steroids. He always said “no.” Once he talked you into joining a gym nearby. “A sweet deal,” he called it. You joined and when you went there the following week a sign on the door said, “Closed.” He asked you for a loan to buy a treadmill. You gave him some money. Two years later, he decided to sell it and you bought it for the original amount. You don’t have an 11, 12, or any other number for this story. What you wanted to write about is too painful to say, even to think about for longer than a couple minutes. It’s something you did that made a negative impact on him and on his life. It’s a confession of sorts that you’ll eventually talk about, write about and feel freed by reliving the story and understanding how it happened and why it happened. Had he lived, you would have had plenty
www.lovinlifeafter50.com
of opportunity to discuss it with him and hear his take on it and he could listen to why it occurred in the first place. But it’s too late. You won’t ever be able to talk with him again and even though you rationalize by saying “he took chances” what you really want to say stays with you. You wanted to write about how he took risks. About the thrill of it, his fascination with fast cars and motorcycles. The delight he took in going from one successful project to another—never staying around long enough to develop it. The stunts he performed for free, like the wheelie he executed so perfectly until he forgot to look, or couldn’t peer over his headlight, or perhaps he was thinking about what he would do after his ride home from the gym. But the stories stop here. There aren’t any more to tell. You want to write a few more about his adult years. You want to share stories about his college life, the date of his wedding and to whom. You want to talk about his grandchildren and what a great uncle he was to his nieces and nephews. You want to hear him give people “hell” that weren’t being nice to you or his sisters. You want to hear his laughter, see him smiling with that huge grin of his that was mischievous but invigorating at the same time. But that is never going to happen. Of course, you can always imagine how his life turned out. You can picture him as a young man settled down, but at the end of that daydream, you face the truth. You never had the chance to have the conversation you always wanted to have with him. You don’t know what he would have said in response to any of that. So, there are only 10 things you really know about him. Terry J. Ratner, RN, MFA is a health educator at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center. Visit her website at www.terryratner. com.

Flo Blanchard
True-life tales from some of Arizona’s most fascinating residents.
: : by Christina Caldwell
Flo Blanchard Women’s Tennis Association hall of fame referee Age: 92 Let there be light: Since Blanchard started playing and refereeing tennis, lights have been introduced to tennis courts. Before court lights, players would quit as soon as the sun went down to head to late-night parties. Now they play through the night. Game changer: Blanchard says the greatest improvement in the game came when the tiebreaker was instated. When network TV showed interest in broadcasting tennis, the game had to be shortened to two or three hours. This turned it into the fast-paced, action-packed game we see today.
TIERA ALLEN
F
lo Blanchard was audacious before it was an acceptable quality in a woman. And although it could have worked to her disadvantage, staying passive and silent would have never led her on the path that made her a well-respected name in the tennis community. The now 92-year-old Arizona resident didn’t understand tennis when she began playing. She had barely seen a racquet and she definitely didn’t understand how the game was scored. But when she married her husband, Mike, in her early 20s, she didn’t have much of a choice but to be exposed to the game. Mike traveled the world as a tennis referee, presiding over several U.S. Open championships before he passed in 1996. Back then, refereeing didn’t pay much (if anything), so it was a labor of love for the couple. When Flo married Mike, she also married tennis. It was part of her life now, whether she liked it or not. Luckily, she did like it. One morning the newly married couple’s phone rang at 6:30 a.m. “Who the hell is that,” Mike said as they lay in the bed of their Boston home. On the other line was a member of the Boston Symphony who needed a fourth player in their threesome. Flo immediately volunteered, even if she wasn’t quite prepared. She quickly caught onto the game
and became a well-known player in her own right. By the time she was a senior, she was ranked in the top 10 women’s senior players in the country. But it wasn’t playing tennis that landed her in the Women’s Tennis Association hall of fame. Following in her husband’s footsteps, she began refereeing games and by 1973, she was the tour umpire of the USTA Women’s Circuit. “I learned to umpire through osmosis,” Blanchard says. She was immersed in the game and the lifestyle surrounding it, so learning the intricacies was easy, she says. Her umpiring career led her all over the world. In 1975 she won the McGovern Award as the top umpire in the United States. A serious elbow injury has prevented her from playing tennis and her other favorite game, golf, for several years, but Blanchard still keeps her racquet and putter near the front door to her apartment. Now the hand-eye coordination she learned from the game is channeled in a virtual way. She plays Wii bowling at her Arizona 60 plus retirement community. She spends her time watching Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic slam the ball on TV and perusing the latest tennis news in magazines. Keeping active has been a major factor in Blanchard’s longevity, and she’s not about to slow down anytime soon.
Keeping it in the family: Blanchard’s children grew up around tennis, so they never had much interest in the game, she says. Her great granddaughters, however, have followed in her footsteps. At ages 6 and 9, the two girls are taking lessons. The future of tennis: Blanchard says the European invasion of tennis has been largely due to the fact that children are started out on the game from a young age. She looks forward to seeing the U.S. Tennis Association attempt to gain the interest of young American children to compete.

Ask the Old Bag Advice for the Over-50 Crowd
D
See What’S NeW at VQ
: : by Gayle M. Lagman-Creswick
ear Old Bag: Is it judgmental to call someone who habitually lies “a liar”? Is it judgmental to call someone who steals “a thief ”? Is it judgmental to call someone “a pornographer” who sexually exploits women and children? Is it judgmental to call someone “a murderer” who takes the life of an innocent person? Is it judgmental to call someone “a fornicator” who participates in a sexual relationship outside the bounds of a heterosexual marriage? You made reference to the account in the gospel of John, Chapter Eight, of the woman brought to Jesus who had committed adultery. After Jesus told her He did not condemn her, He also told her to go and sin no more. A true friend will speak the truth to you in love. Signed, RLS
D
ear RLS: You bring up good points. As I have admitted before, I am not a Bible scholar. I also strive to live a clean life. I do believe in the 10 Commandments. In my many years I have also seen situations which I will call the gray areas of life, such as the two letters written to me regarding the relationships that formed between two visitors of Alzheimer’s patients in a nursing home. In the gray areas, I am glad that I do not have to judge them or throw stones at them. I pray for them. Please see letter below. Signed, O.B.
D
ear Old Bag: My wife has been an Alzheimer’s resident of a nursing home for five years. She is only 60 years old. I was shocked one day when I went to visit her, to see her holding hands with another gentleman, who also appears also to have Alzheimer’s. She seemed so happy. She was looking at him lovingly, and he to her. They both were friendly to me. It took me a bit to think about this. Was she sinning? I don’t think so. She is very ill and does not even know her name or mine. My thinking became, “If this little bit of happiness comes her way and can make her smile and be happy again,
www.lovinlifeafter50.com
I am all for it.” I do not mind playing second fiddle! God bless them! Signed, Second Fiddle Dear Second Fiddle: You sound like a wonderful fellow with much love in your heart. Your wife is living in her world now, and you are letting her catch a little sunshine. I am with you. Signed, O.B.
D
ear Old Bag: I guess you could call my dear husband a home body. He is perfectly happy to stay at home. He does not want to take vacations or to visit relatives or travel. He is a very nice guy and easy to love. We are newly retired and I always thought retirement would be a great thing because we would be footloose and fancy free. He thought retirement would be wonderful so he could stay at home, after having to go to work all those years. What do I do now? Signed, Getting Antsy

ear Antsy: Interesting. It reminds me of a problem one of my close friends had when we were younger. Her husband had landed a big job, and they were going to be well off. She immediately began planning how she would spend the money, and he began to plan how much they would be able to invest and save! Sometimes, we come to a juncture in life where we realize that as a couple we have opposite notions. It requires lots of understanding and compromise. I also think that your husband may change his mind about staying at home all the time after about a year. I remember how much I enjoyed being at home after years and years in the workplace. I think if you get out and do some things you want to do and are patient with him, he will come around. Good luck. Signed, O.B.

s the mayor of tiny Williams, Arizona, the last town in the country to let go of its section of historic Route 66 during the completion of Interstate 40 and a place that rigorously retains its Old Town America heritage, John Moore gets to play cowboy every day. “I grew up in the Midwest, but I always fancied the Western culture,” says Moore, who tried for a stint to take Scottsdale up on its “West Most Western Town” promise. “I remember 30 years ago you could ride your horse up to the tavern north of Scottsdale, tie your horse up to a hitching post and go in and have a burger,” he recollects. “That’s all gone away now. But up in Williams, we still have that feel, we still have that quality of life.” In Moore’s town, population 3,023, even the kids still love cowboys. “To the younger
generation, the cowboy is Woody in ‘Toy Story,’ and the new movie of ‘The Lone Ranger,’” he says. But it’s even a bigger thing with the grandparents. “To us, it’s Roy Rogers and Gene Autry and the cowboy shows. You’re reminded of when you were a youngster going down to the theater on Saturday afternoon and watching Hopalong Cassidy.” When even Williams becomes too city-fied for Moore (all those city council meetings on street paving), he has one last escape: “If I ever get to feeling down, I go on the train.” For Moore—and for a growing population of travelers today who are rediscovering the unique enjoyment of riding the rails— the train is a timeless timekeeper, a steely step back in time that’s forever orbiting the present.

Solar Roofing Provides A Ray Of Light For Homeowners’ Energy Bills
A
ccording to the Solar Energy Industries Association, 92 percent of the American public agrees that it is important for the nation to develop and use solar energy. Yet, while many homeowners like the idea of greening their homes, few want to sacrifice good curb appeal. Fortunately, with new advancements in solar roofing, homeowners no longer need to choose between an eco-friendly roof and a beautiful home. When homeowners look for a roofing product, curb appeal is often at the top of the list. However, homeowners also have to consider durability, impact resistance and maintenance requirements—making it challenging to keep energy-efficient roofing a priority. Solar products now come in different “shades of green,” all designed to reduce your home’s impact on the environment at varying degrees using evolving technologies such as solar-reflective roofing and photovoltaics. Good news for homeowners is that there are incentives for choosing a product that
helps power up a home and reduces the impact on the environment. By installing an Energy Star—rated roofing product, homeowners can earn up to a $1,500 credit on their income taxes. A prime example of solar-reflective asphalt roofing that keeps your roof cool by deflecting the sun’s rays is Landmark Solaris from CertainTeed, a company recently named an Energy Star Partner of the Year by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. By lowering surface temperatures up to 20 percent, you can give your air conditioner a rest during warm weather. A shining example of advancements in photovoltaics is EnerGen solar roofing panels. Designed with curb appeal in mind, the system blends in and lies flush to traditional asphalt shingles, generating power for your home using clean, renewable energy. With the combination of new technologies, incentives, improved performance and aesthetic options that don’t sacrifice curb appeal, yes, it’s clear that solar roofing is here to stay.
Puzzle Answers
home Cherry Tartlets and Cherry Pioneer Pie : : by Jan D’Atri
A
ntique shopping this week I stumbled upon a vintage Popeil’s Pie Maker and Sandwich Grill. Two small metal rounds close like a clamshell and are attached to a metal rod with wooden handles. Place two pieces of pie or bread dough with filling into the rounds and you have a vintage version of today’s Hot Pocket. It got me thinking about my Aunt Mary’s Tart Tartlets. As a little girl I would look forward to visiting her because she always made kid-sized homemade cherry tartlets just for me and my sister. Because I didn’t have a campfire handy to bake up the tartlets with Popeil’s Pie Maker, I formed my little pies using a 3-inch cookie. Delightful and delicious! For the second recipe, I’m sharing two versions of Pioneer Cherry Pie Filling Cake, both variations of a traditional Dump Cake. You’ll find that all three recipes are, well, just cherry!
...from page 15
Aunt Mary’s Tart Tartlets
For the Filling: 2 cups dried tart cherries (found in bulk bin at Sprouts, Whole Foods) 2 tablespoons honey 1 lime, juiced Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed into 2 cups hot water For the Dough: 1 cup butter, softened but not melted 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons heavy cream or half and half 1 large egg 1 teaspoon almond extract 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a pot over medium heat, cook filling ingredients together until thickened, about 25 minutes. If filling becomes too thick, add more water as needed. Let cool. In a mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add cream, egg and almond extract and blend well. Add flour, baking soda and salt, mixing well. Roll dough out on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Place on baking sheet with parchment paper. Place small amount of filling on one round and top with a second round. Score a cross at the top with knife. Pinch edges together and bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. When done, mix together powdered sugar, cream and almond extract. Brush over top of warm rounds. Makes about 20 tartlets.
Pioneer Cherry Pie Filling Cake (Version No. 1) 2 cans of cherry pie filling 1 box of yellow cake mix 1 stick of butter, melted
Simply empty the cans of cherry pie filling in a 13 by 9 inch baking pan. Sprinkle cake mix over cherry filling. Pour melted butter over cake mix and bake at 375 for about 50-60 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Pioneer Cherry Pie Filling Cake (Version No. 2)
Pour cherry pie filling in a 13 by 9 inch baking pan. Prepare yellow cake according to package instructions Pour cake batter over cherry filling. Bake at 375 for about 50-60 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
For the Glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons cream (or more if needed) 1 teaspoon almond extract

Myth busters: Why vinyl siding is America’s hottest home design feature
C
hances are you’ve seen and heard a lot about vinyl siding on home renovation television shows, in magazines and in your neighborhood. Once seen as a drab and boring alternative to aluminum siding, vinyl siding is now driving new design trends, effortlessly adapting to any architectural home style. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, vinyl siding is a hot home exterior material, appearing on nearly one third of all new homes built in 2012, more than any other cladding material. Still unsure about vinyl siding? Consider these myth-busting facts: Myth: Vinyl siding is boring and looks cheap Vinyl siding has come a long way since it was introduced in the 1950s and manufacturers have made strides in research and development efforts for design and performance. Nearly 350 vinyl siding colors have been certified for
color retention, according to the Vinyl Siding Institute (VSI). The variety offers homeowners a virtually endless palette of fade-resistant colors, combined with complementary trim, accents and accessories. Additionally, the texture and attention to detail on the siding panels make high-end vinyl siding nearly indistinguishable from wood clapboard, cedar shake shingles or other traditional materials. Thanks to these advancements in color and technology, top designers on shows like “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and “George to the Rescue” have recently made vinyl siding a focal point of their renovation and new-build home designs. And many historical societies across the U.S. have turned to vinyl siding for historic home renovations because of the wide selection of period colors, architectural details and lowmaintenance benefits. “After the devastating tornado in Joplin,
Mo. in 2011, we built seven houses in seven days using vinyl siding exteriors,” says Kim Lewis, architectural designer of Kim Lewis Designs and former lead designer for ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” “At first I was skeptical, but we were able to bring forward character-driven design on each of the home’s exteriors with vibrant colors and architectural elements. After spending some time with the material, I have a more positive outlook on vinyl siding.” Myth: Vinyl trim doesn’t have the authentic look of wood A common misconception about vinyl siding is that trim options don’t offer a high-end look like authentic wood. Though in recent years, siding manufacturers such as Ply Gem have made significant strides in the design of low maintenance, holistic finishing solutions for windows, doors, eaves, gables, columns and more, introducing trim and mouldings made from cellular PVC. These trim packages are designed to look and function like real wood, accentuating the best features of any architectural home style, but eliminating the need to clean, replace or stain in
years to come. With today’s trim options, even the most discerning homeowners will find there’s no need to compromise beauty to get low-maintenance curb appeal. Myth: Vinyl siding isn’t durable Don’t let the light weight of the product fool you. Products like Mastic Home Exteriors by Ply Gem vinyl siding are manufactured with technologies tested to resist wind speeds of more than 200 mph. These products have been put to the test and withstood the elements in recent storms such as Superstorm Sandy. In addition to holding its own against Mother Nature, vinyl siding puts up a pretty good fight against Father Time. The product has tremendous longevity, in many cases lasting 30 years or more with very little maintenance and low cost of ownership. Vinyl siding does not need to be painted and it can be cleaned with simple soap and water. If you believed the myths above, don’t be discouraged. One thing that is undeniably true is that vinyl siding will continue to lead the way in exterior home design. For links to more facts and studies on vinyl siding, visit www. plygem.com.

Sound Off ... from page 6 off a competitor or a threat to the way your conscience. If she can’t afford a of doing hidden political business? Wonder no more about how hate and greed can rule and win. Just count the failing unions and the lower wages of Mr. and Mrs. Working Poor Public. You must be one of them; better pay attention.
Hey border watchers, what happened to the immigration rules of long ago when someone in America had to sponsor relatives and be responsible for the entire family of our great-grandparents—on a boat or over the border. They came for a job, a home, better schools and became a backbone of economy of progress, what congress changed those rules anyway. Sometimes the old ways were better. For people to people communications, do you really want al-Qaida violence to take you back a thousand years or join others for democracy? It’s your call, citizen, and it’s your call in America, too. Do you want all the dummies from Wall Street in charge, or do you want democracy in Congress. Question yourself. Question yourself. Oh boy there’s something even better than the $1 million winners on television. Now all you have to do to win a diamond watch or two a boat cruise for two, is just send money. The secret is how many magazines you’ll buy by the week. You have to have at least three or at least two. It’s all by the week, sucker. It all adds up for 52 weeks and they’re not giving away a thing, except they’re taking away your money. What a racket. You just can’t believe how greedy people are—especially if you’re over 60. Thank you for paying attention. It’s no joke. One rip-off is just worse than the other. Yes, I’m getting tired of men talking about women having abortions. I think men should not be making laws for women’s bodies. It’s none of their business if a woman has an abortion. Not everybody wants to be a mother, and not everybody should be a mother. A lot of women can’t afford another baby. If you want her to have a baby and have it mistreated, that should hurt
baby, you probably aren’t going to send her money to help her. You men should shut up. Since you can’t have babies it’s none of your business. You have problems and we don’t criticize you as much. So President Obama bemoans the fact that he was followed in a store. Poor baby. I went to the church to pick up an old lady. When I arrived there, people were coming out. Among them were the pastor carrying the collection. I was sitting in my car with the motor running and I was wearing sunglasses. He looked horrified. He took off as fast as he could go, looking at me over his shoulder. I am an 83-year-old white woman. Mr. President, get a life. Profiling is a part of life. It’s disheartening to see all the so-called expert opinions and excuses why the 19 firemen died. When all the federal authorities had to do was listen to experience of the older chief seen on television in tears, begging to keep at least one tanker on the job. Oh well, you know politicians must have it today. The hell with how many died for it. Grandma says with all of Washington still fighting the 2012 election, it’s hopeful to see the billionaire’s money is still not buying 2016 away from the morals of American voters. Their money will never buy honesty. How dumb is the corporation in Louisiana to think Arizonans are stupid, while pushing their LINK system and destroying HOA landscaping in Leisure World and Alta Mesa, so far. It’s one big Christmas gift to lawyers. Wow. They’re scattering and picking up business all over the place. Disgusting LINK. They must be the dumbest thing walking, coming from Louisiana to Arizona thinking they’re going to fool us. When President Roosevelt declared World War II, we were fighting for religion, speech from want and from fear. Well, fear was stolen from us in 2001 by the al-Qaida group. Are we going to let them get away with it? Are we really?

When a white 13-year-old boy in Florida was savagely beaten by three 15-year-old black boys, where was the outage? Where was Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the media? Where was the outrage when two black teenagers shot and killed a 13-month-old baby in Georgia? Where was the outrage? Where was President Obama? Of course, he was right there with Trayvon Martin saying he could have been his son. It doesn’t matter when whites are attacked and beaten, only if a black is. Talk about discrimination? There it is. It was discouraging to read in the Sound Off column the partisan Republican remarks critical of President Obama. Can being older than 50 result in a brain lock? It is well known that President Obama inherited the financial crises caused by President Bush’s tax cuts and his unwarranted invasion of Iraq, which was approved by our two Republican senators. President Obama has guided the financial recovery as in our auto industry and the stock market. This was accomplished in spite of the overt resistance by Republican congressional members led by Mitch McConnell to stop his re-election. Now the Tea Party Republicans are expected to resist the administration’s budget proposals that are needed for further recovery. Why is it only PBS or C-SPAN can give the public better information regarding the situations in home and world politics after midnight? The millionaire-owned commercial television can only sell or tell all-day personal opinions. The info to the public is surely censored somewhere. God help America. To the anonymous caller who challenged me to get educated about “the danger our country is in:” I challenge you to get yourself educated. Read the Constitution. In the first sentence it says, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare” etc. If the “general welfare” of any of these people is compromised, and they suffer a catastrophic illness, drought, accident, death of a parent etc., why
should our country stand by when even neighbors can’t help anymore? Rightwing representatives are bent on seeing that many people are denied the right to health insurance or food stamps. Their loyalty Grover Norquist’s pledge is greater than the loyalty oath they took when being sworn into office. This is un-American. President Obama is not changing the United States into a socialist state. Granted, he is liberal, which is eminently preferable to being a conservative, right-wing president. Instead, we have a capitalism ruled by Wall Street—where the acquisition of money rules, and people don’t count. In the case of Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court made the most shockingly unconstitutional decision saying, in effect, “Money equals the individual’s right to speak.” Even before that, the court, in a bewildering decision, chose George W. Bush over Al Gore proving that every vote does not count. I’m concerned about many other dangers we face, but I’m limited by time and space.—Helen Lederer Some folks object others finding fault with the Obama administration. Indeed there is much to find fault with. Obama wants a law to legalize 12 million undocumented Democrats so that they will vote his way. The nation cannot afford Obamacare, and yet it has totally failed to address major factors in the high cost of health care. The VA can negotiate pharmaceutical prices, but other folks have to pay through the nose. Runaway litigation and malpractice are major factors in the cost of health care, they are not even mentioned. If you don’t like reading about how screwed up the White House is then go back to reading the left-wing propaganda in the mainstream media. They don’t report the news. They manage it to suit their agenda. Let me preface my opinion by saying that I do not have a television. My choice. I haven’t owned one in my entire adult life, so I do not watch Fox News. I read a lot of books (a must-read is: “The Corruption Chronicles”). I read many newspapers from the New York Times, Washington Post and, yeah, The Arizona Republic to publications from around ...continues on page 28

by congressman, senators, lobbyists), my economist friends at the World Bank and IMF, caterers, shop owners, etc. So far, all of these people are fed up with the current administration; the economy, foreign policy, corruption, the immigration issue, Benghazi, Fast and Furious and of course the total lack of “transparency” that Americans were promised. The people who think he is wonderful are the uninformed, ill-informed and young African Americans, and white kids, too. I voted for Obama the first time around, and even went to his inauguration, courtesy of a lobbyist friend of mine. Some of my friends voted for him (not a lot, though) and some people that I speak to while out and about voted for him, the first time around. OK, so Bush left a mess. How much longer do we have to blame Bush? Obama has been in office almost five years now. Nothing has gotten better.—E. Winters

T HE F INISH L INE Arizona’s Leader in Senior Fitness Tai Chi for Good Health This is the first in a four-part series on the benefits of practicing the sport of tai chi. The information is a part of a paper researched and written by a senior in Arizona State University’s Exercise and Wellness Program. Tai chi is a Chinese method of mindful meditation exercise that involves martial arts-based movements performed in a slow and graceful manor to increase strength, balance and range of motion. Tai chi can be used as an exercise method to assist elderly females in gaining more balance, slowing down bone atrophy, and developing confidence in their ability to perform acts of daily living without falling and getting injured. One study took a group of female osteoporosis patients with a mean age of 62 and split them into a tai chi group and
an education-only group that acted as the control for the study. After six months of tai chi training, the experimental group saw significant improvements in bone mineral density while the control group saw no changes or slight decrease in bone density in their DEXA scans. Other randomized trials lasting 12 months involving tai chi yielded significantly less bone mineral density loss in the hips and femurs of the all geriatric-aged females in the tai chi experimental groups than in non-tai chi-focused control group. This information is significant because tai chi is not only an inexpensive sport to practice, but it has the added benefit of improving one’s mental state and providing an excellent method of relaxation. Read more about tai chi in the October issue of The Finish Line.
September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month More than 23 million children and teenagers in the United States are obese or overweight, a statistic that health and medical experts consider an epidemic. While obesity rates have soared among all age groups in this country, it is a particularly grave concern for children. Childhood obesity puts nearly one
third of America’s children at early risk for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even stroke—conditions usually associated with adulthood. To learn more about childhood obesity visit www.mollenfoundation. org. Remember, the best gift you can give your grandchild is a good example.
