Simple Strategies Keys to Combat
Alzheimer's
Simple strategies promoting
health can delay Alzheimer's disease
by many years.
A healthy lifestyle including exer-
cise, eating right and controlling
stress reduces not only the risk of a
heart attack and stroke but also the
risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative
disorder of the brain associated with
relentless and insidiously progres-
sive damage to brain cells. Abnor-
malities are present in the brain 20
years before symptoms develop. Ini-
tially, an abnormal protein called
beta amyloid precursor protein accu-
mulates in and around brain cells.
The protein causes a subtle inflam-
mation that damages and destroys
the cells. When destruction of the
brain becomes severe enough, symp-
toms develop.
Alzheimer's disease initially affects
that part of the brain responsible for
short-term memory. Thus, the earli-
est symptoms include forgetting ap-
pointments, repeating yourself and
having difficulties remembering re-
cent events.
Abnormalities characteristic of
Alzheimer's can be found in well
over 50 percent of brains examined
at autopsy, even though many die
with no memory problems. When
symptoms initially develop is de-
pendent not only on the severity of
the degeneration but also on the
health of the unaffected brain. High
blood pressure, cholesterol deposits
in arteries, major or multiple minor
strokes, diabetes and a host of other
problems all impair brain function.
This decline in function reduces the
ability of the brain to compensate for
the degeneration caused by
Alzheimer's, resulting in the devel-
opment of symptoms at an earlier
age.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
compelling research shows that
strategies to reduce the risk of heart
disease are more effective at slowing
the rate of progression of
Alzheimer's than any of the current
medications used to treat the disease.
Furthermore, if heart disease is not
present, the brain is likely to be
healthier and more able to adapt to
changes in the brain caused by
Alzheimer's. Only if this person lives
well past age 90 would memory loss
develop.
If Alzheimer's pathology is present
in the brain, nothing is more impor-
tant than delaying the time at which
memory loss occurs and the rate at
which it progresses. This will assure
additional years of independent life,
delaying the need for caregiving and
nursing
home
place-
ment.
This of-
fers the potential of substantial re-
ductions in the emotional and
financial burdens of the disease
while improving the quality of life of
families.
The vast majority of baby boomers
will reach the age of 85, at which
time half will have memory prob-
lems severe enough to prevent them
from living alone without assistance.
At middle age and beyond, the best
strategy to maintain a robust mem-
ory throughout life is to eat right, ex-
ercise and prevent high blood
pressure, elevated cholesterol and di-
abetes. And for those with heart dis-
ease, treatment with medications that
include aspirin, statins to lower cho-
lesterol, beta-blockers and the an-
giotensin-converting-enzyme
inhibitors better known as ACE in-
hibitors (drugs used to treat high
blood pressure) not only prevent
worsening heart problems but also
reduce the risk of memory loss.
Research indicates that the more ac-
tive the brain, the lower risk of
Alzheimer's. Studies of twins have
shown that the person with the
higher degree and a history of life-
long learning is far less likely to de-
velop memory loss than his identical
twin who is less educated.

How Seniors Can Stay Safe In
The Summer Heat And Sun
Sunny days uplift spirits. But seniors need
to take special precautions to make sure their en-
joyment of summer is not eclipsed by the pain of
sunburn or the harmful effects of dehydration and
heat illness.
Physical changes that come with aging make older
adults more vulnerable to summers heat and hu-
midity. The American Geriatrics Societys Foun-
dation for Health in Aging (FHIA) reports that
most of the 200 Americans who die each summer
of heat-related complications are over 50.
Seniors become less sensitive to heat and the feel-
ing of thirst as they age. And on top of that, cer-
tain medical conditions, such as heart disease, and
medications commonly taken by seniorswater
pills, allergy and sinus medications, and antide-
pressantsfurther increase the risk.
FHIA warns that temperatures in the low 90s can
be very dangerous to seniors and offers seniors
and their caregivers a wide variety of hot weather
safety tips.
Recommendations include:
Turn on the air conditioner or go to an air
conditioned placesenior center, mall, movie
theater, or library, for example. Fans are not
sufficient.
Stay indoors during excessive heat, and
when outside, avoid the sun as much as pos-
sible, wear hats and sunglasses, and use
SPF 30 or higher sunscreen
Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting
clothing
Avoid strenuous activity
Take cool showers, baths, or sponge baths
FHIA also recommends that family members or
friends check on seniors at least twice a day dur-
ing a heat wave Family and professional care-
givers can make a special effort to help seniors get
enough to drink, as the need for water and nonal-
coholic and decaffeinated beverages rises with the
temperature. This includes keeping a good variety
of beverages on hand and encouraging frequent
drinking of smaller quantities as opposed to less
frequent drinking of larger quantities.
Use the urine test to confirm whether you or a
loved one is drinking enough. Light yellow urine
is usually a sign that liquid consumption is ade-
quate, while darker urine may signal that more
liquid is needed.

Beware of Heat Illnesses
Overexposure to the heat can lead to a variety of
serious health problems.
Heat exhaustion is a warning that your body
cannot cool itself. Symptoms include thirst, dizzi-
ness, weakness, poor coordination, nausea and
sweating. Body temperature stays normal, but the
skin feels cold and clammy and pulse can be nor-
mal or raised. If this is the case, rest in a cool
place, drink plenty of fluids and take a cool
shower or sponge bath. This condition can turn
into heatstroke, so if you do not feel better
quickly, seek medical care right away.

THE RIGHT KIND OF FISHING(AND HOW NOT TO BE THE CATCH OF THE DAY)
This Fathers Day, you may be in-
clined to spend some quality time
with Dad, maybe take him out camp-
ing or fishing. But try to make sure
that nobody else tries to phish
with you or your father.
These days, all people (including fa-
thers and sons) need to be cautious
of scams Internet, mail, and even
phone scams which can damage
your credit score and wallet. Scam
artists have become shrewd. Any
time someone asks for your personal
information, you should be wary.
Particularly cruel are swindlers who
target Social Security beneficiaries.
As a rule of thumb, Social Security
will not call or email you for your
personal information such as your
Social Security number or banking
information. If someone contacts
you and asks for this kind of infor-
mation and claims to be from Social
Security, do not give out your per-
sonal information without first con-
tacting Social Security to verify the
validity of the person contacting
you. It could be an identity thief on
the other end phishing for your per-
sonal information. Just call the local
Social Security office, or Social Se-
curitys toll-free number at 1-800-
772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
If you receive a suspicious call,
please report it to the Fraud Hotline.
Reports may be made online at
www.socialsecurity.gov/frau-
dreport/oig/public_fraud_report-
ing/form.htm or by telephone at
1-800-269-0271 from 10:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Please include the following details:
The alleged suspect(s) and
victim(s) names, addresses,
phone numbers, dates of birth,
and
Social Security numbers;
Description of the fraud and
the location where the fraud
took place;
When and how the fraud was
committed;
Why the person committed
the fraud (if known); and
Who else has knowledge of
the potential violation.
Identity theft is one of the fastest-
growing crimes in America. If you,
your father, or anyone you know has
been the victim of an identity thief,
the place to contact is the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) at
www.idtheft.gov. Or, call 1-877-
IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338);
TTY 1-866-653-4261.
Some people who receive Social Se-
curity and Supplemental Security In-
come (SSI) benefits are victimized
by misleading advertisers. Such
companies offer Social Security
services for a fee, even though the
same services are available directly
from Social Security free of charge.
Especially upsetting are such ads
that make it appear as though the ad
has come directly from Social Secu-
rity. By law, such advertisements
must indicate that the company is
not affiliated with Social Security.
If you or your dad see what you be-
lieve is misleading advertising for
Social Security services from a com-
pany that does not admit it is not af-
filiated with Social Security, send
the complete mailing, including the
envelope, to: Office of the Inspector
General, Fraud Hotline, Social Secu-
rity Administration, P.O. Box 17768,
Baltimore, MD 21235. Also, advise
your State's attorney general or con-
sumer affairs office and the Better
Business Bureau. You can visit the
Office of the Inspector General on-
line at http://oig.ssa.gov and select
the Fraud, Waste, or Abuse link.

Beware of Heat
Illnesses
Heat stroke is life threatening and
requires emergency medical help.
After calling 911, get the individual
to a cool place. Signs of heat stroke
include fainting, body temperature
above 104 F, confusion, irritable-
ness, staggering, dry, flushed skin,
strong, rapid pulse or slow, weak
pulse, not sweating, acting delirious
or being in a coma.
Protecting against Sun-
burn
Seniors particularly need to avoid
sun exposure if they take certain
medications that increase sensitivity
to the sun, such as water pills, antibi-
otics, some antidepressants and non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
used to treat arthritis pain and in-
flammation.
The Mayo Clinic offers the follow-
ing guidance for treating sunburn:
Take a cool bath or apply cold
compresses to the affected skin
Apply over-the-counter hydro-
cortisone cream, aloe or a mois-
turizer
Do not break blisters. Break-
ing them will slow the healing
process and increase risk of in-
fection. Cover blisters with light,
non-stick gauze, if needed.
Take an over-the-counter pain
reliever until redness and sore-
ness subside.
Continue using moisturizing
cream while the skin peels.
However, see a doctor if severe
sunburn covers a large area with
blisters, is accompanied by high
fever or severe pain and does
not improve in a few days.
Stay Safe In The Summer Heat...
Continued from page 2...Keeping
your mind keen and active helps
maintain a healthy brain. These in-
dividuals are far better able to com-
pensate for Alzheimer's-induced
brain damage.
However, keeping the mind active
does not prevent the relentless pro-
gression of Alzheimer's so that
when the disease finally manifests it
is more advanced and appears to
progress more rapidly.
While age is the most important
risk factor for Alzheimer's, the
second most important is family
history. If more than one close
family member has been diag-
nosed with the disease, the risk
in younger family members is
50 percent higher. For these in-
dividuals, some experts believe
that in addition to a healthy
lifestyle, beginning at an age
that is 20 years younger than
symptoms developed in their af-
fected relative, they should be
treated as if they have had a
heart attack. This includes low-
ering the bad or LDL cholesterol
to below 70, aggressively main-
taining normal blood pressure
and being treated with a low
dose of an ACE inhibitor.
We must all hope that in the near fu-
ture there will be a cure for
Alzheimer's. The size of the coming
epidemic makes it ever more impor-
tant to emphasize strategies to im-
prove both heart and brain health.

The Great Outdoors
Container Gardening and Senior Health
Fresh air and a bit of sunshine are perhaps
two things we all take for granted, not real-
izing the impact both can have on our
health. The benefits of spending time in
the great outdoors are bountiful - sharper
mental states, happier moods, overall im-
proved physical health and a sense of well-
being. For these reasons, alone, it is
important for seniors to be encouraged to
enjoy a bit of time every day outside when
possible.
A brisk walk around the neighborhood
may be sufficient for many seniors. But,
consider another outdoor activity which
can also boost levels of health and wellbe-
ing: gardening. Gardening has long been
declared by healthcare professionals as an
activity that can lower blood pressure, re-
duce stress and alleviate depression. The
physical aspects of gardening promote
greater mobility as well as fine motor co-
ordination, which is important for seniors
as they grow older.
Many people think of gardens in terms of
large, dirt-filled plots of land, which may
be inappropriate for most seniors. How-
ever, over the past decade, gardening in
containers of various shapes and sizes has
become quite the trend. People of all ages
grow shrubs, flowers, trees and even herbs
and vegetables in containers rather than
planting them in the ground. Container
gardens are more manageable for those
who have limited time and space, but who
enjoy the aspects of gardening. Container
gardening is perfect for seniors, as it re-
quires less strenuous work, while offering
the health benefits of spending time out-
side as well as
the visual color-
ful fruits of ones
labor.
When helping
seniors shop for
container garden-
ing supplies it is
important to
choose items
conducive to the
seniors outdoor
space and appropriate for their physical
abilities. Be sure to choose plants that re-
quire low light for shady spaces, or if the
spot is sunny, pick plants appropriate for
full-sun. Choose a watering can that is
easy for the senior to manage when filled.
Plastic pots may be easier to relocate dur-
ing winter months, but glazed terra cotta
pots can add a burst of color if desired. A
good pair of pruners and a pair of garden-
ing gloves are essential in maintaining any
garden.
Container gardening is a perfect activity
for family members or caregivers of sen-
iors to become involved in doing. The re-
sponsibility of caring for something gives
seniors a sense of purpose. The interaction
while gardening together can cultivate a
greater sense of self-worth for the senior
and reduces the sense of isolation many
seniors experience. The rewards can be
two-fold providing the satisfaction of
caring for and watching your gardens grow
and a sense of togetherness which grows in
tandem.

And finally, while youre enjoying the right kind of fishing with
Dad this Fathers day, you may want to tell him about Extra
Help with Medicare prescription drug costs. If your father is
covered by Medicare and has limited income and resources, he
may be eligible for Extra Help available through Social Se-
curity to pay part of his monthly premiums, annual de-
ductibles, and prescription co-payments.
We estimate that the Extra Help is worth about $4,000 per year.
That kind of savings buys a lot of bait and tackle. Learn more at

I talked to Elephant Butte
local fishing guide Frank
Vilorio. Hes been a fishing
guide there for 19 years. He
says the fishing continues to
be very good despite the
drought and water levels
being very low.
The New Mexico Game
and Fish Department period-
ically stock the lake with
strippers, walleyes and large
mouth bass. Vilorio says the
lake was stocked with
750,000 striper frys (young
fish about 1 inch long) last
year. New Mexico fish biol-
ogists claim thirty-six thou-
sand will make it to 5-8 lbs
in about five years. The aver-
age striper caught in the lake
is around 8-12 lbs. Trophies
(the largest) range from 30-
40 lbs.
If youre wondering what
kind of fish swim
the lake, Vilorio
says there are quite
a few. You can expect
catching anything from
Stripers, Walleye, Small-
mouth and Largemouth
Bass, Crappies, Perch,
Bream, Catfish, White Drum
and occasionally Rainbow
Trout if they can make it
down river. Just a month or
so ago a 30 Northern Pike
was caught Vilorio says
that hasnt happened
in a very long time.
Vilorio says that de-
termining when the
fish bite the best is based on
a lot of different aspects. He
says some of these factors
include water temperature,
moon cycle, barometric pres-
sure (affected by frontal
weather systems), wind and
the direction its coming
from, lake boat
traffic,
angle of
the sun and water clarity.
Vilorio says fish seem to bite
the best when water temper-
atures are on the rise such as
winter to spring and spring
to summer. The bite slows
down mid-summer, so we
fish at night with lights.
Weather frontal systems that
come in with wind blowing
from the north affects the
fishing the most. Vilorio
says the fish seem to get lock
jaw and go deeper in the
water and fishing seems to
be less productive. Most
fishermen agree that before
the approach of a cold front
fishing can be good.
Most fishermen
I talked to over the
years put a lot of ef-
fort into fishing the
cycle of the moon. Vilorio
believes the new moon cycle
(no moon) is best especially
a few days before or a few
days after. It seems that on
full moon periods fish tend
to bite less often, especially
during the daytime.
If you would like to sched-
ule a fishing trip with Frank
Vilorio, you can reach him at

This happy-go-lucky view of small-
town vice and statewide political
side-stepping recounts the good
times and the demise of the Chicken
Ranch, known since the 1850s as
one of the better pleasure palaces in
all of Texas. Governors, senators,
mayors, and even victorious college
football teams frequent Miss Monas
cozy bordello until that puritan
nemesis Watchdog focuses his tele-
vision cameras and his righteous in-
dignation on the institution.
