 Resident Profile
News Dale Schaffer & Bonnie Carr
Dale & Bonnie first rented in Sun City Festival in January
2013. We enjoyed the people, amenities, the rural feel of
Festival plus the Phoenix area (except for the traffic), so
much, that we knew early on we wanted to come back.
We rented again two more winters before purchasing a
home at 26222 W. Via Del Sol Drive in March 2015. Our
neighbors are terrific and the community as a whole is so
welcoming.
Dale owned a business, taught high school math, and
coached high school basketball, volleyball, and golf in
Custer, SD, before retiring in May 2016. Bonnie grew up in
Spearfish, SD, and worked as a Speech Therapist in Belle
Fourche, SD for 38 years before retiring.
After we lost our first spouses, we met “on line” in Feb-
ruary 2011. Within a few months, we both knew our
lives were richer together and married in June 2012. For
our honeymoon we took our combined 5 children, their
spouses and the now shared 10 grandkids on a Disney Cruise so everyone could get acquainted.
Since being married, we have traveled to Hawaii, Italy, France, and England. This September we are traveling
to Hungary, Austria, Germany, and France. Beyond our love of family, friends, and traveling, Dale loves golf,
playing cards, and going to movies. Bonnie enjoys playing mahjong, cooking, hiking and entertaining. This
year Dale will serve as president of the Can‐Am Group.
April through October finds us in our home in Spearfish, SD which is about 65 miles from Mount Rushmore.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter will always find us with family. With five children and ten grandchildren,
our choices are endless and great no matter the location, Sun City Festival, Spearfish, or at the home of one
of our kids.

THE STRONGEST MUSCLE
by Chuck Eier, M.S. C.S.C..
Fitness/Wellness Director

The heart,
or cardiac
muscle, is the
strongest,
most resilient
muscle in
the human
body. Over a
lifetime, the
heart works
24 hours a day. On an average day,
the heart beats 100,000 times and
pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood.
Over a 70-year lifetime, the heart
beats more than 2.5 billion times.
Sadly, heart disease is the number
one or number two cause of death
(and most preventable) for people
in the United States age 25 years, or
older. Heart disease includes conges-
tive heart failure (CHF) in which the
heart is weakened and cannot pump
enough blood throughout the body
to meet even basic requirements.
Another form of heart disease is
coronary artery disease in which the
blood supply to the heart muscle
(myocardium) is reduced or stopped
due to blockage in the arteries feed-
ing the muscle. This can lead to
death of the heart muscle and heart
attack.
Risk factors for heart disease in-
clude age, gender, smoking, obesity,
inactivity, hypertension (high blood
pressure), high blood cholesterol, and
diabetes. The good news is that most
risk factors are controllable. Exercise,
food consumption, and/or medica-
tions can control many risk factors
and prevent development of heart
disease.
Aerobic, or cardiovascular, exer-
cise is a great way to prevent heart
disease. A simple daily brisk walk of
30 minutes or more can help con-
trol blood pressure, cholesterol and
diabetes. Ideally, we need aerobic
exercise most days of the week for 30
minutes or more. Taking the form of
brisk walking, bicycling, swimming,
jogging, hiking or others, aerobic
exercise needs to be done at a mod-
erate effort to elevate the heart and
breathing rate, and bring about some
feeling of exertion. Done consistently
over time, aerobic exercise makes
the heart stronger and more efficient
while minimizing the risk factors for
heart disease.
Always consult a physician prior to
starting any exercise program.
For more information consult the
website of the American Heart Asso-
ciation at www.americanheart.org.
