Park. A minimum of six students is needed each month and the registration deadline is the Friday before the first class date of the month. Bell describes group drumming, In this class, you will learn African drumming techniques, notes and hand patterns on the Djembes, an African drum provided for use during the class. Participants will leave each class having learned new African rhythms; proud of accomplishment in rhythm and movement and maybe even surprised at what you accomplished as a group in such a short period of time. No experience in Drumming re-focuses our attention onto something pleasing and rewarding and away from chronic pain. Drumming releases endorphins which are natural pain killers and contribute to a natural high. A research study demonstrated one hour of group drumming boosted immune system through increasing natural killer cells that are integral in immune function. Drumming changes the brains beta waves (activity and concentration) to alpha waves (calm and relaxed), which ultimately contributes to decreased blood pressure and decreased pain perception. Music is processed in multiple areas of the brain, proSee DRUM, pg. 34

lies? Is it mainly for investment purposes or will it stay in your family for generations? First, location. There are many mountain areas in the United States to consider. Besides the Rocky Mountain towns and other western mountain towns, there are also the Appalachians, Ozarks, Alaska, and even Hawaii. To help you decide on the perfect location, youll have to look at what each area has to offer. What type of climate are you looking for? Would you prefer hiking volcanic hills or skiing through waisthigh snow on a powder day? Or maybe youd like to take advantage of summer hikes and winter snow sports. Most people look at the more popular ski destinations, but always keep your mind open. Did you know that advanced skiers could hike up Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii and head down the slopes toward the ocean? Granted, it isnt what most people envision when they think of mountain living, but it might be a great compromise to the couple that cant decide on a beach or mountain home. Another factor to look at is whether or not you are in need of medical facilities at a close proximity. It is definitely worth considering, especially if you are buying your second home with hopes to retire in it someday, or even if you have a family that might need emergency services. Many mountain towns do have local clinics and small hospitals, but a lot of them use services like Flight for Life or AIR-EVAC helicopters and ambulances in case they need to rush someone off the mountain in an emergency. You also might want to research how far away the closest metropolitan area is, in case you need periodic treatments for certain med.

ical conditions that would not be available in a small, mountain medical facility. Keep in mind that mileage on paper seems a lot shorter than mileage on a snowy, slick, icy road in the middle of a storm. But, researching the area is key. Many ski resort towns are building or have completed state-of-the-art medical facilities and hospitals in order to offer their visitors and residents peace of mind. Two examples include the Vail Valley Medical Center in Vail, which offers the finest in medical technology. It boasts an internationally acclaimed orthopedic center, the Stedman-Hawkins Clinic Monica Seles had basic rehabilitation here after she was stabbed in the back by a fan of Steffi Graf in 1993 as well as a continued focus on quality improvements to benefit the community. Another example would be the facilities in the Ozark Mountain Region. Their health services also feature top-ofthe-line hospitals and clinics like, The North Arkansas Regional Medical Center (NARMC) in Harrison and The Baxter Regional Medical Center (BRMC) in Mountain Home. With an abundance of private and specialist physicians, patients at either facility are sure to receive the latest in medical techniques and services. Before buying a second home, its important to define what you want out of your second home. Will it be a refuge in the mountains to escape to during free weekends with your family? Is it a place to go once or twice a year on holidays? Or will it be held on to purely for the investment? If it will be a place for the family to enjoy, there are several tips to consider. First, take a bit of time before jumping into a purchase. Make sure you know the area well maybe visit

several times at different periods (slow tourist times as well as peak holiday times) just to see if it is appealing to you year-round. Maybe rent a few times and really get to know the locals ask what they like about the mountains and what they dislike and figure out which neighborhoods would be best. Will you be stranded if there is a snowstorm because you have a beautiful mountain home in the middle of a national forest that is inaccessible to snow-removal equipment? Or will you decide that you want to be in the middle of the action and buy a home that overlooks the town center or is ski-in ski-out? Will it be a weekend getaway? If so, be sure to pick a spot thats relatively quick and easy to access probably no more than 3 hours by car or an hour by plane. Otherwise, you may find thats its too expensive to get to and youll end up using it far less than you had anticipated, lowering the value of your investment. Also, if the home is a retreat for the family, bear in mind the ages of your children. Will weekend sports games, birthday parties, or studying take priority over traveling? Will the kids feel left out of weekend social events and start to resent the home? Many families find

that younger children dont mind getting away to play in the mountains, but discover themselves with a For Sale sign and hammer as soon as the kids hit puberty. But, there are many families who decide to buy just as their children are hitting those critical teen years. They want to make sure that their children have a place to come with family to escape the daily pressures put on teens today. In many cases, it is a way of solidifying the family unit. Its common knowledge that families that buy vacation homes tend to take more family vacations. Retirement living is also something that has begun to gain importance, as babyboomers are getting closer to the age of retirement. Will the home be in a place in which you could see yourself retiring? If your second home will be your retirement home, weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Look at the quality of life, cost of living, amenities, shopping, and as mentioned earlier, medical facilities. Understand that there are certain trade-offs for switching from city to mountain life. Many would gladly trade traffic, pollution, high stress, mega shopping centers and university hospitals for dirt roads, fresh mountain air, small family-owned bou-

tiques and restaurants, and a town doctor that knows you by name, not by your HMO. Depending on the mountain town, the cost of living could be comparable to big cities if they are located near a prominent resort, or much lower if you choose a town a little less known. There may not be the availability of certain things that you could easily find in a city and activities/events may cater to different patrons. Some may find that the trade-offs are worth it, and others may not. If you are looking at purchasing a mountain home purely for investment purposes, there are a few other things to think about. When is the best time to buy? Many mountain towns go through an ebb and tide of strong and weak real estate sales periods. Probably one of the best times to buy mountain real estate is once school has started and people have decided to put off buying until next year. You want to buy when the market is at its lowest and when there is a lot of competition between sellers, so it helps to study the area in which you are interested to see when the yard signs are out in full force. As John Muir put it, Going to the mountains is going home.

bank and paying a little less for hay. It means water in the lakes for irrigation, fishing, swimming, and boating. Water for drinking and greening up your lawn. We started a garden last summer. We enjoyed the spuds and other vegetables we raised and when the harvest was done, the chickens enjoyed digging for worms. Watering the garden as well as the trees and lawn by hand is a great time to enjoy the birds, the smell of the trees and all sorts of other wonders. Without the snow in this country, you dont have the water to do such things. Listening to the creek running behind the house is about as soothing a sound as there is in the world, and listening to the tinkle of ice breaking in the winter is just as nice. I loved to be outside in the winter and the snow much more when I was younger. Not for the skiing and winter sports, though theyre enjoyable. I loved to work in it. I felt like I had accomplished something at the end of the day. I felt at the top of my game when I was driving a team and bobsled with a load of hay to feed the cattle. We fed several bands of sheep every day of the winter. We loaded a 4x4 ton truck with 50 or so bales of hay and fought our way to the bed ground, where one of us would climb on top of the load and flake the hay off, as the other drove slowly around and through the sheep. It took at least two loads to feed a band of 1000 or so ewes. By the time we got three or four bands of sheep fed, wed put chains on all four wheels a dozen times or more and dug ourselves out of snow banks at least that many times. When you got done, you felt like youd put in a good, hard day, and theres something to be said about working hard, sweating, and getting the job done. Ride Easy Pards. . . Vic mtyodeler@hotmail.com.

his weeks article was written five years ago with the help of my youngest son and his first grade class. I wanted to share it again this year even though these kids are now in sixth grade and even smarter. The simple fact is that its as simple as how a first grader thinks; yes, this is simple you need to think about becoming healthy in the New Year. Hi, this is Spencer and its my mom that writes these articles every week and Im in first grade. My mom talked to my class one day about how she uses writing at her job. She told us that everyone uses writing at MedX by keeping their workout charts. Its good to keep workout charts because you can see how healthy you are getting and it might make you more skinny if you do write in your chart, so writing in your chart is good. She also told us that she uses writing for her article every week.

Happy New Year ... the first grade advice

High Altitude Health
Deborah Holmes
MedX of Estes

Her article tells everyone healthy stuff and thats a good thing, because if you know more healthy stuff you will get healthier. My mom asked my class to write about what being healthy means to us, since we were practicing writing skills and talking to professionals about writing in the grown-up world. She asked us to answer this question, How can you stay healthy in the New Year? So here is what my class thinks about staying healthy: You can stay healthy by etn vechtbels, runen on a chreadmll and drinkin watr. Spencer Please know that phonics is how spelling is taught to-

day and Ive I decided to leave the original spelling these favorite first graders. But dont worry, I know that phonics work because my two older kids are now spelling very well. I didnt know that exercise was allowed to be written as exrsiz or vegetables written like vechtbles. Wow, thats exactly how it sounds. You can stay healthy by eten food ean carrots. Brenda You can stay healthy by eatig proteen and exrsisin. Allie You can stay healthy by eating the green stuf and by eating grapes. Hendrix You can stay healthy by eating green things and carrots and you can run in place. Mae You can stay healthy by eating the things with protene and eat everything green and you can also dans. Sophie You can stay healthy by eteen protene and eteen vetbls. Finn

You can stay healthy by running and eating botaydos (potatoes). Matthew You can stay healthy in by eating karits and bnans. Miles You can stay healthy be greps and eat bacle (broccoli). Diana You can stay heathy by etng pers and bocole. Jacub By eaten careas (carrots), watermallin and banae, also pashas and rocn (push-ups and running). Jesus You can stay healthy by edeing kerits. Golanni You can stay healthy by Xersisen lice sum pushups and eat los of healthy food lice brocle. Danielle You can stay healthy by eling brocule and orjes (oranges). Michaela You can stay healthy by eting broco and frot (fruit). Olso running on tredmill is healthy. Devin I think the kids in my class are very smart about healthy stuff. My favorite green stuff to eat is broccoli

and then 2nd is asparagus, but I try not to eat too many green things. Really my favorite food is Doritos (shhhh, dont tell anyone!), but they are not green! So mom makes me run around if I eat a lot of Doritos. Sometimes its just easier to eat my vegetables then to run around enough. If you dont exercise or eat your vegetables it might be good to take some vitamins, they can help you stay healthy too. I think thats about it for staying healthy next year. If you need to know more, then just read my moms article every week, shes pretty smart about healthy stuff too. Or you can just come and ask my class! Cause were really smart too! We hope you have a wonderful new year and a healthy one too. Dont get hung up on making your New Years resolutions so complicated. Think like a first grader, make your new choices for the New Year simple and realistic. Happy New Year.

Adler is living in Monteverde while working on pre-production and Jenkins is researching the film stateside. The film recounts the inspiring and surprising story of nine Quaker pacifist families from Alabama who left the United States in 1951 after some family members were jailed for refusing to register for the draft during the Korean War. When they were finally released from prison, they headed for the mountains of Costa Rica a nation that had recently abolished its army. The Quakers settled in a pristine cloud forest they called Monteverde, literally Green Mountain, and established a cooperative cheese factory and a Friends

Today that area is known as the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, which National Geographic has called the jewel in the crown of the worlds cloud forest reserves.

The survivors are all in their late 80s or early 90s, which underscores the need to raise the remaining funds needed for production as soon as possible. To that end, Jenkins and Adler have launched a page on Kickstarter.com , a crowdfunding site, to solicit backers for the film.
