On-line Video Gaming Can
Become A Health Hazard
By Joann LaCerte
Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the
original video games weren’t rocket
science. Of course they required some
hand-eye skills. But, intellectually
speaking, they were marketed to young
people, not Ph.D.s (though plenty of
Ph.D.s played them at night after their
children were in bed.)
Video games were never of interest
to me – I thought I had more important
ways of spending my time. But, after
I happened upon a story in Turning
Points magazine, I became motivated
to learn the extent to which video
games have evolved. For starters,
Pong (1971) was a black-and-white
game of v-e-r-y slow Ping-pong.
Space Invaders (1978) was a shooting
game, destroying never-ending waves
of digital invaders. Frogger had a
hapless frog trying to cross a ten-lane
freeway. But, Pac-Man (1980) was a
step up – he chomped his way through
a maze, eating pac-dots while avoiding
four enemies. Victory took the player
to a new level requiring the player to
watch for appearing and disappearing
game aides.
Finally, Mario Brothers (1983)
required a whole different mental
level. There were so many hidden
features that the player’s mind became
involved as much as his or her hands.
The Mind is Critical
Now, compare the simplicity of those
early games with the unbelievable
complexity of a game called Eve
Online (2008) – an international,
multiplayer, role-playing Star Wars-
2006
2007
Chevy
Ford
Edge SEL Impala SS
type game. A recent session, the Battle
of B-R5RB (lasting 22 hours) involved
7,548 people around the world and cost
$300,000 in real money – money spent
by players to purchase positions and
armaments! Ever hear of such a thing?
Eve represents a giant getaway. But, the games go on indefinitely
and require constant attention as they
progress.
Reading about the Battle of B-R5RB
is enough to give me a headache. It
makes D-Day – The Allied Landing At
Normandy - seem small by comparison.
Of course, these are games, not
real events. But the intellectual
horsepower needed to conceive, build
and then play these complex games is
no less impressive than other major
intellectual accomplishments in life.
They remind me of the 1983 Matthew
Broderick movie War Games that
featured a military super computer
called WOPR.

Laura Landro - Wall Street Journal

Muscle strength is one of the keys
to healthy aging, yet after we achieve
peak mass in our early 40s, it's pretty
much downhill from there. Most
people begin to lose modest amounts
of muscle at that point and experience
progressive deterioration as the years
go by, especially if they are sedentary.
Now, with a growing population
of aging baby boomers, experts are
turning their attention to interventions
to help stem the loss of muscle

sarcopenia. It is caused by a number

Ten years ago, Commercial Group
Inc. of Topeka opened Phase I of
Valley Springs Senior Apartments
which consists of 52 one & twobedroom apartments.
At the time, they had an idea that
those 52 units would soon fill up and
there would still be a demand for
affordable senior housing there.
“Studies showed that there was a
need for senior housing in De Soto,”
said Valley Springs’ owner/developer,
Dave Sandir. “Because the property
has done so well and there is always
a waiting list, we continued with our
original plans to expand and build
Phase II, which consists of adding 28
new two-bedroom apartments.”
“We only have four apartments
left to lease”, said executive assistant

Charles T. “Tom” Hall was born in
New Albany, KS to the late Chloe and
Charles Hall on January 26, 1908. He
had three sisters, Mary, Anna Ruth,
and Isabelle who preceded him in
death. He grew up on a farm and went
to school initially in New Albany and
later Fredonia, KS. He then graduated
from Kansas State University in 1932
in Agricultural Management.
Tom worked as the County
Agricultural Agent in Wilson County,
KS, his home county, directly out
of college. He then transferred to
Jefferson County, KS where he met
and married, Hazel Margaret Brown
on May 4, 1935 in Perry, KS. She

about one topic or another, resist the
temptation to try to better them or show

President Obama says it’s the law

folks who eventually will become
Democrats, thus ensuring there will
never be anything but Democratic

Banning Homework
The Swedes (I am half-Swede)
have banned ‘homework’ in their
school system. That may be a good
thing, if it has gotten so excessive that
kids can’t be kids. However, I think
the reviewing of something learned
earlier that day will help in recalling
and remembering.
They used to tell Dumb Swede
jokes like they tell blonde jokes now.
If these Swedes stop doing their
homework, we may see a resurgence
of Dumb Swede jokes.
KFC Fraud
A three year old was mauled
by the family pit bull (not too
surprising, anymore. It cost her an
eye). Grandparents supposedly took
the bandaged up little tyke to KFC
(Kentucky Fried Chicken) some
time later.
They say they were asked to leave
as the injured girl’s looks offended
some of the customers. Hogwash.
So they sued the chain, but it turned
out it was all a fraud. No one asked
them to leave. After receiving
donations
from
sympathetic
strangers, they are being forced to
determine how or when they will try
to return the donations.
The Parliamentary System
In this system of governing, a
Prime Minister is forced to resign if
he does not get a vote of confidence
from the legislative body, the
Parliament. Some say that might be
an improvement over what we have
where you are stuck with a leader for
four years, even after the Congress is
very disapproving of what he or she
is doing.

there was a typo in it. Other states

One of the most difficult things we
have to do is discipline our children,
because it’s important that they learn
boundaries and rules.
I’m not sure if someone told me
about this or if I invented it one day
when I was a frustrated parent. For
whatever reason, we had a series of
difficult days and I had to discipline
my son. He had broken several rules
and didn’t seem to care. I needed to
teach him the consequences of bad
behavior so that he would feel secure
within my boundaries but also learn
some life lessons.
Then he did something so terrible that
I wondered how in the world to make
him understand the consequences.
I don’t remember now what that
behavior involved. But I was hurt and
disappointed, shocked and puzzled.
Then some type of motherly instinct
kicked in or possibly a divine whisper
reminded me to, “Show him grace.”

boards, that tell the automotive history
of Kansas City. There are also several
interactive areas for children, as well
as many photo-opportunities.
The museum tells stories of both
local and national significance: how
the first African-American car dealer
was located in Kansas City, how the
first Cadillac dealership west of the
Mississippi was in Kansas City, how
the Plaza shopping area was specially
built to accommodate cars, and the
history of the local GM and Ford
manufacturing plants.
The Kansas City Automotive
Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit,
charitable organization. The current
space in Olathe is an interim museum.
A larger site, six times as large, is being
sought near the Kansas Speedway in
Kansas City, Kansas.
“We plan for it to have a car
restoration shop, gift shop, several car
galleries, a library and archives where
people can do research, and much
more,” Vreni said. “We’ll also have
many interactive areas, such as a recreation of an auto shop for children
and a GM assembly line robot arm
that will be able to be controlled by
visitors.”
Tours are available for 10 people or
more, for which a historian will discuss
Kansas City automotive history as
well as other information about cars in
the museum. Car clubs, school groups,
civic groups and others are invited.
Volunteers are also needed to answer
questions on history of the cars and
local car community. “The volunteers
help make it more of an educational
experience for visitors,” Vreni said.
Operating hours of the museum are
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission
prices are: Adult $11.00, Military
$9.00, Senior (over 65) $9.00, Student
(13-17 or with ID) $8.00, Youth (4-12
years), $8.00, Children (3 and under)
free. On-site parking, street parking
and handicap parking are available. The museum is located off I-35
(Exit 220). Travel east on 119th street
until you come to Strang Line Road.
Turn north on Strang Line Road until
you reach 116th street. The Kansas
City Automotive Museum is located
on the right side of 116th street.

Piaget & Cognitive Development
Did you know there was a time
when children were regarded
as "little adults"? Jean Piaget, a
Swiss developmental biologist and
psychologist, is credited as being the
first expert to suggest that until a child
is at least 11, she is not capable of
thinking and reasoning like an adult.
Piaget's
revolutionary research
began early in the last century
and introduced four stages of
development:
• The Sensorimotor Period, from
birth to 2 years
• The Preoperational Period, from 2
to 6 or 7 years
• The Concrete Operational Period,
from 7 to 11 years
• the Formal Operational Period,
from 11 on.
Your preschooler falls under
the Preoperational Period, when
kids develop language and have an
understanding of symbols. A child in
this stage begins to understand that a
drawing of a dog, or the word "dog,"
represents an actual dog.
This is also the stage when pretend
play begins, and children frequently
use certain objects to represent other
objects (for example, a piece of paper
becomes a plate; a box is the table).
Children are able to understand the
basic concepts of past and future but
the concrete idea of time is still beyond
them. In terms of their character and
personality, kids at this stage are very
self-oriented and, as any parent can
tell you, egocentric.

In-Home Day Care
& Day Care Centers
There are many people who provide
child care in their own homes:
• Young mothers who need some extra
income.
• Older women whose own children
have grown.
• A grandparent or other blood relative
with the time.
The benefits of day care in another's
home is that your child is likely to have
other children to play with. She will
also have the consistency of having
one caregiver. Plus, some babysitters
are flexible with hours, so you don't
have to panic if you have to work
overtime.
The Drawbacks
• If your sitter or your child gets sick,
you'll need to find alternate care. Some
day care providers will not take sick
children.
• Your child is likely to pick up illnesses
from the other kids.
• A sitter may take in more children
than she can handle.
• Your sitter may not have a day care
license (not all sitters are required to
be licensed).
The benefits of this type of situation
is that often it's the least costly for the
parent.
Day Care Centers
Day care centers are typically run
by a church group, for-profit agencies,
or, in certain circumstances, your
employer. A center that cares for more
than 12 children is required to be
licensed in most states. This means the
center must meet minimum guidelines
for health, safety, and caregiver
training. Be sure to inquire about this
as you interview places.
The Drawbacks
• Increased exposure to illnesses.
• High staff turnover at some centers.
• Inflexible hours. If you can't be there
on time, you may be charged extra.
Sand Mosaics
This beach project is a sort of natural
version of glitter designs -- except
unlike glitter, your supply of sand is
practically inexhaustible.
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Scissors
Black construction paper
Shoe box lid
White glue
Sand
Assorted seashells
1. Cut a sheet of construction paper so
that it fits inside the box lid -- this will
be the portable canvas.
2. To make a picture, draw with the
tip of the glue bottle, then sprinkle on
loose sand.
3. Once the sand is dry, shake off the
excess by gently tapping the side of
the lid.
4. For added detail, glue on shells,
pebbles, sea glass or any other nottoo-aromatic finds.
Shell Paintings
Seashells make great palm-size
canvases for painted seascapes.
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Seashells (chalkier, white shells work
best)
Jar of freshwater
Watercolor or acrylic paints and
brushes
1. Rinse a few shells with fresh
water and let them dry in the sun.
2. Paint pictures on the inside of each
shell, being careful to let each color
dry before adding the next for a crisp
picture, or letting the colors blend for
an abstract splash of color.
3. Set finished shells out in the sun
until dry.

Hot weather, fast driving, rough
roads are prime conditions for blow

drove from Memphis to St. Louis on
Highway 55 that carries many trucks
and lots of traffic. We counted an
average of four tire carcasses per mile.
Many were retreads. If you plan on a
trip, check your tires, pressure, wear
and alignment. Tire problems can
cause a lot of grief that could cost you
and ruin a trip.
The Fourth of July celebration is

Mid-term elections bring out
politicians we seldom see during the
year. Some don’t even live in their

There are too many who vote along

“Is he or she representing me and my

It will soon be time for teen athletes

concussions that could have happened
from a previous injury should also be
performed.
I encourage everyone who enjoys

The Historical Society is pleased
that the fliers they put out at the
Veterans Park promoting the Olathe

young children being encouraged to
come to America to escape living
conditions in their homelands has
reached epidemic proportions. The
exploitation of these children by
“coyotes,” taking money from those
who trust that the trafficker will
lead the children to a better place
must be stopped in the countries of
origin. Government officials in these
countries must be confronted by
our U.S. authorities to capture and
prosecute those who are promoting and
encouraging the terrible conditions that
the children are enduring. Let’s use our
voices to encourage our government
to work with the countries involved to
stop this horrible crime on humanity.
The use of electronic devices has

The passage of knowledge from

and other devices and listen to when
you are spoken to. You might learn

The amount of money that
Governor Brownback offered to the
G.O.P. to come to Kansas City seems a

amount, or at least a portion, could
sure be used to solve some of our
budget needs.

Tips for avoiding the
stresses of marriage and debt:
Before the wedding, show all of
your cards. Tell your spouse about
your income, debts, issues you have
with money, how your parents raised
you to handle money, your strengths
and weaknesses with money, and
admit if you are a spender or saver.
Have a wedding
that you can afford. This is not the time to start running
up large credit card bills and still be
paying for your wedding on your fifth
anniversary.
Each of you should get a copy of
your credit reports. This will give
you a clear picture of how you both
handle money and it will help avoid
any future surprises. Aim to get your

Your Summer Vacation
Ensure that your tires are
properly inflated.
Properly inflating your tires can
improve fuel efficiency. Check the
owner's manual or look inside the
driver's side doorframe for your
vehicle's tire pressure rating. In the
summer heat, tires that are not properly
inflated are also more likely to blow.
Check your coolant system.
The coolant system works overtime
in the summer to make sure your
vehicle's engine doesn't overheat.
It is suggested to flush and refill the
coolant systems every other year. An
engine that runs too hot or too cold can
reduce fuel efficiency.
Get an oil change.
Regular oil changes help prevent
engine wear and can even save on
gas money. Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel

up to two-percent fuel economy

Avoid credit card debt. The best
rule of thumb is simply, "If you can't
pay for something with cash, you can't
afford it." Don't fall into the trap of
buying something with a credit card
with the intent of paying it off in just a
few months.
Get one or two credit cards and stick
with them. Building a good payment
history with one or two credit cards is
a positive factor in your credit score.
Each spouse should have a credit
card in his or her own name to build

If you have a balance, pay off as
much as you can over the minimum

your debt. The faster you pay it off,
the faster you can focus on saving and

Spring Hill Resident Dies
from Rare Infection
An extremely rare brain-eating
amoeba has killed a nine-year-old girl
from Johnson County.
Hally Yust, 9, from Spring Hill was
an avid skier and died on July 9.
The amoeba is found in fresh water.
A county disease investigator tells
FOX 4 that Yust had several potential
exposures in fresh water in Kansas,
so the actual source of infection
cannot be determined. She was taken
to a hospital with meningitis-like
symptoms and testing revealed the
amoeba infection.
It’s called Naegleria fowleri. It’s in
lakes, rivers and hot springs. Infection
is extremely rare. There have been
fewer than 200 cases in the U.S. in
more than 50 years.
There was also a death in a Wichitaarea resident in 2011.

A Celebration of Life in Hally’s
honor was held at 4:00 pm Monday,
July 14 at Life Church, 16111 S. Lone
Elm Rd., Olathe, Kansas.
In lieu of flowers, memorial

Hally was born on March 14, 2005,
to Shon and Jenny Yust. She is also
survived by siblings Parker, Macy
and Zoey; and many loving extended
family members. Hally was home
schooled and attended Mighty Oaks
Enrichment Center in Gardner. With
a lifelong passion to be a college
basketball player, Hally knew no
stranger and lived life to the fullest,
sharing her love for Jesus. She enjoyed
waterskiing, water sports of any kind,
farming with Dad, video making,
song writing, and spending time
with friends and family. As a giver,
caretaker, sister, daughter, and friend,
Hally was the light to the world and a
blessing to all.

Islamic Terrorists Planned to Bomb
Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Nuclear Plant
France foiled an Islamist terrorist
plot to target the Eiffel Tower, the
Louvre and even a nuclear power
plant, it emerged on Wednesday, as the
country unveiled new, tougher antiterror rules.
French police stumbled on the
plans after decrypting coded messages
between a 29-year-old Algerian
butcher living in the Vaucluse, southern
France, known only as Ali M, and one
of the highest-ranking members in
al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or
AQIM.
Obamacare and VA Care
Both are run by the government.
If you have been watching the news,
reading the paper and/or not living
under a rock, certainly you know about
the horrible treatment of our Veterans
at some of the nation’s Veteran’s
Hospitals.
In recent reports patients have
been put on secret waiting lists that
have forced them to wait months for
medical procedures. Sometimes, they
have waited a month or more just to
see a doctor at all. As a result several
deaths have been blamed on the long
waiting periods.
Whistle blowers (people working
at VA Hospitals reporting on abuse,
incompetence and waste) have been
fired. Files have been destroyed.
Big bonuses have been paid to VA
executives. The big mess is continuing
to unravel more and more. Hope you
don’t have a loved one getting (or not
getting) VA Care.
Some experts are now saying if you
think Veterans Administration care
is bad, just wait till we are all under
government care. We bet the rich and
the bureaucrats will always have a
separate medical system like they had
in Russia during the communist era.
Flash Flood Season is Here;
Helpful Tips to Remember
From Erin Vader, City of Olathe
With flash flood season upon us,
remember these helpful tips if you
encounter flash flooding:
• Do not drive through flooded
areas; vehicles can be swept off the
roadway.
• Move to higher ground if you are
in a low-lying area.
• Stay away from streams, concrete
channels, and other drainage
structures.
• Watch for flooding at road dips,
bridges and low areas.
• Report any road flooding to 911.
My Wish
I wish there was a news source that
didn’t have an axe to grind or a story
to spin. It would be great, if they had
a left wing reporter and a right winger
each report the story, kind of like being
on a jury. One would tell their version
and the other could tell his or her side.
Then, you could decide which side to
believe.

important to other family members
because it is easily accessible from
nearby communities such as Kansas
City and Lawrence. Adult children are
wanting their parents to move out of
the larger cities, because of traffic and
crime, but still have them close. Feriend
lists safety and affordability, groundlevel access and good construction as
factors that have contributed to Valley
Spring’s success.
“It is a community in another sense
as well”, added the property manager
Bob Harrelson. “The clubroom is very
active,” he said. “It is a place where
residents can meet for Bible studies
and coffees, have one-on-one visits,
celebrate holidays and birthdays,
watch the big games and when the
Red Hat ladies meet, things can get
lively.”
The clubroom is furnished with a
computer lab and a library. For those
who want to exercise, there are a
couple of treadmills and a stationary
bicycle. In addition to the units having
washer/dryer connections, an on-site
laundry facility is available and the
community is pet-friendly.
The clubroom is also the place
where people sign up for group
activities “Four times a year, bus tours
originate out of there,” compliance
manager, Renee Befort said. “They
go to see things like historical places
or Christmas lights. The community
sends out flyers/brochure and people
can sign up at the clubroom, where the
bus picks them up as well.”
Valley Springs also maintains ties
with the larger De Soto community. In
addition to De Soto residents attending
Valley Springs events such as Bible
studies and Red Hat meetings, Valley
Springs residents support the larger
De Soto community through projects
like holding food drives so that they
can donate to the local food bank.

green areas, nice landscaping and

The homes have front-door parking,
private ground-level entry, covered

as well for seniors who are needing to
downsize but don’t want to get rid of
everything. The large eat in kitchens
are well appointed with range,
refrigerator, built in microwave,

Ceiling Fans, Part II
Like everything else, ceiling fans
are not maintenance free. Be sure to
keep yours clean and in good operating
condition. Consider repairs at the first
sign of something wrong.
If your fan no longer has three
distinct speeds, first check the pull
chain switch. A broken speed or light
switch is fairly easy to replace. Your
local hardware store has both kinds
of replacements. If your fan has both
a pull chain for speed and a remote
control, always be sure the pull chain
is left in the high speed position.
Otherwise the remote will try to make
three speeds out of the lower setting
resulting in loss of speed.
If your fan has excessive wobble,
vibration, or noise, especially on high
speed, check the following items:
*Be sure the blades are clean.
It is surprising how much dirt can
accumulate on fan blades.
*Check for loose screws. Blades
must be firmly attached to the blade
irons and the blade irons firmly
attached to the motor housing.
*Be sure none of the blades are
warped. They should lie flat when laid
on a flat surface. If you find one that
is warped, replace all the blades. They
come in factory matched sets.
*Check to see if any of the blade
irons are defective. If you find one that
is cracked, doesn’t match the others,
or that no longer has the 12 degree
angle, change that iron with a proper
replacement.
*Check for a defective motor.
Remove the blades and irons. Turn the
motor on high. If it still has excessive
wobble, vibration, or noise, look for a
repair center or just go shopping for a
new fan!
*If the motor is fine and you still
have a problem, consider rebalancing
the blades. Most fans come with
instructions and a small kit with
weights to use when doing so.
One last tip, if your fan’s motor
housing visibly tries to turn every time
the fan is first turned on, your fan is
no longer safely installed. Check your
installation guide and do not use the
fan until repairs are made.

home repairs, please give me a call at

More Protein
In addition to the mounting evidence
of the benefits of physical activity in
stemming decline, Dr. Walston says
there is an emerging body of research
that suggests older people should eat
more protein, with a focus on leaner
sources.
According to guidelines published
in 2010 by the Society on Sarcopenia,
Cachexia and Wasting Disorders, a
nonprofit group, as many as 41% of
women and 35% of men age 50-plus
ingest less than the recommended daily
allowance of 0.8 grams of protein per
kilogram of body weight (0.36 grams
per pound). The group recommends
that total protein should be higher in
that age range, or 1 to 1.5 grams per
kilogram per day (0.45 to 0.68 grams
per pound), spread equally through
three meals.
The group also says low vitamin D
levels are associated with low muscle
strength, and supplementing it in those
cases has been shown to increase
strength and function and reduce falls.
But it's best to talk to a physician
before starting any supplements such
as protein or vitamin D.
As for exercise, the group notes
that resistance exercises can improve
strength, while aerobic exercise can
improve overall health and quality
of life. The group recommends a
combination of the two for 20 to 30
minutes three times a week.
Building Up Reserves
Evidence continues to show the
benefits of exercise at any age. Last
month, a study in the Journal of the
American Medical Association found
that an exercise program reduced the
onset of major disability for at-risk
older adults by 18% over about 2½
years. The study, the largest of its
kind, was conducted by a consortium
of major aging research centers and
funded by the federal government.
Known as the LIFE study—
for Lifestyle Interventions and
Independence for Elders—it compared
a supervised, moderate-intensity
physical activity program with a health
education program on aging in 1,600
sedentary older adults. The activity
portion included aerobic, strength,
flexibility and balance training, based
on individual levels of fitness, while
the education arm had only limited
focus on physical activity.
The study defined major mobility
disability as the inability to walk 400
meters within 15 minutes without
sitting, leaning against a wall, or
getting assistance from another
person or walker. Roger Fielding, a
co-author of the study and director
of the Nutrition, Exercise Physiology
and Sarcopenia Laboratory at Tufts
University, says the study shows that
"even as we advance into very old age,
physical activity can help preserve
independence." The study group hopes
to follow the subjects for three more
years to gauge longer-term benefits.
There is some inevitability to
declining strength and muscles in
aging, "but whatever we can do to
mitigate that by building up the health
reserve can pay off in dividends later,"
says Karen Bandeen-Roche, another
researcher at the Johns Hopkins aging
center. "We can't say frailty can be
prevented in all people, but we can
compress it to a smaller proportion of
the end of life."
naturally occurring protein called
myostatin that curbs muscle growth.
Pharmaceutical companies already
have drugs in the pipeline that act by
blocking myostatin or blocking the
sites where it is detected in the body,
potentially rebuilding muscle.
For now, however, the best
medicine available to maintain muscle
mass and strength is less complicated
and costly - namely, exercise and a
healthy diet. Yet about 60% of people
over 65 are insufficiently active or
overtly inactive, and many have poor
nutrition, says Nathan LeBrasseur,
a researcher who directs the Muscle
Performance and Physical Function
Laboratory and the Healthy Aging
and Independent Living Initiative at
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Dr.
LeBrasseur estimates that most people
will lose approximately 30% of muscle
mass over their lifetime, and as much
as 50% by the time they reach their
80s or 90s.
Keep Your Motor Running
Muscle is also central to metabolism,
or the rate at which fat and calories
are burned, and can help improve
resiliency to the stressors of aging, Dr.
LeBrasseur says. By simply stepping
up activity like walking, gardening
and household tasks, "we can slow the
loss and prevent crossing that critical
threshold that leads to functional
limitations and metabolic issues."
Chronic diseases such as diabetes,
which inhibits the metabolism of
nutrients in the body, are believed
to contribute to age-related muscle
loss, and older obese individuals with
decreased muscle mass or strength are
at special risk for adverse outcomes,
according to research funded by the
National institute on Aging. Related
conditions include cachexia, a state
of general physical decline and
malnutrition associated with chronic
disease and cancer, and wasting
disorders that can be associated with
nerve disease or injury.
There is still debate about how best
to define and measure sarcopenia, and
doctors caring for the elderly may not
even be aware of the term, which was
derived from Greek words for poverty
of the flesh and was introduced in
the late 1980s. Researchers have a
better handle on frailty, a syndrome
of decreased strength reserves,
reduced resistance to physical
and psychological
stressors, and
cumulative decline across multiple
systems of the body, including the
brain. A number of frailty scales are
available to help doctors evaluate
patients.
Jeremy Walston, a professor of
geriatric medicine and co-director of
the Biology of Healthy Aging program
at Johns Hopkins University's Center
on Aging and Health, says a major
goal of research is to understand the
complex interplay of molecular and
physiological declines in multiple
systems of the body with advancing
age - a mix that may increase general
vulnerability in frail, older adults.
His team is studying changes in
mitochondria, the energy-generating
components of cells, and the impact of
chronic inflammation in the body.
The Johns Hopkins researchers
are also studying whether the drug
losartan, commonly used to treat
high blood pressure, can slow muscle
decline in adults 70 and older, after

Olathe’s Very Own Newspaper for 37 Years
year, the universe erupted in the
largest galactic battle ever fought.
It was Virtual Reality, a massive,
international, multiplayer game. The
crisis began when a player failed to
pay rent on the space station housing
his fleet. When another party swooped
in to capture the spot, thousands of
players around the world stopped in
their tracks and engaged in the battle.
People skipped work and classes.
Computer servers were strained and
the ensuing 12-hour war was ruthless.
The outcome was unbelievable.
Seventy giant ships were destroyed $5,000 each in real money. The losing
participants forfeited $300,000 – the
value of their virtual fleets. This event
shocked the world of online-videogaming because it showed how costly
and mesmerizing the industry has
become. It also proved that the mind
is critical – there is so much to learn
and remember.
The Power of Passion
Don’t you think video games can be
addictive? The editors of the widelyquoted medical information site
WebMD.com would beg to differ with
you. They devote an entire section of
the website to the growing problem.
Video addiction can have deadly
consequences.
◘ In 2007, a man in China died after
playing video games for two weeks
during the Lunar New Year holiday.
Later that same year, another Chinese
man died after playing for three days
straight.
◘ In 2005, a South Korean man went
into cardiac arrest and died after
playing a video game for 50 straight
hours.
◘ In 2009, a three-month old South
Korean child died from malnutrition
when her parents spent their free time
in an Internet café raising a virtual
child in an online game.
◘ An American father’s ten-monthold sons drowned in a bathtub while
he went into another room to play a
video game.
We all know the consequences
of addiction to drugs, alcohol and
tobacco. But today, the news stories
associated with addiction are talking
about a new threat – video games.
Be On The Alert
Gary Haran was so committed to
playing a video game called World of
Warcraft (WOW) that he decided he
had to quit in order to reclaim his life.
And he discovered that many of his
friends wanted to do the same thing,
but couldn’t tear themselves away
from the game. So, Haran started a
Page 9
website devoted to World of Warcraft
addicts who needed a place to talk
anonymously about their compulsive
game playing.
When Haran’s website went live,
the first day there were about 20 posts.
The second day there were 400 and by
the third day, over 900. By the time he
sold the website, there were 20,000
posts daily from WOW players who
wanted to talk about their obsessive
dedication the to game.
Be Vigilant Against Time Bandits
Online video gaming can occupy
big chunks of time. Earlier this year
researchers from Brock University
reported that 88 percent of teenagers
play video games and most play every
day. Just think of how many hours
we all invest daily with our screens,
whether watching movies or television
– or on our computers, tablets, or
phones. And, I’m just as guilty as the
next person. Some of the time is wellspent but much of it isn’t.
Many parents feel pangs of concern
when they see their children so
absorbed in texting or gaming that
they’re seemingly oblivious to their
environments. One survey found that
children and teens spent more than
seven hours a day in media use! But
there are some real benefits, such
as kids using their video screens to
enhance things like hand-and-eye
coordination and collaboration skills.
They can acquire much knowledge
about history, science and geography,
too. Also, it can help the brain make
quick decisions. So, many benefits can
be attained from using computers in
the classroom. They are helpful tools
used by many educators.
Truly, we must be vigilant against
time bandits – those activities that
rob us of our greatest resource, the
moment and minutes that fly past us
in swift succession. Oliver Wendell
Holmes once wrote, “Pick my left
pocket of its silver dime, but spare the
right – it holds my golden time.”

Amazing Golf Facts
From Diane Hart
** The word golf does not
mean "Gentleman Only, Ladies
Forbidden". This is an internet
myth. It is thought the word golf
comes from the Dutch word
"kolf" or "kolve", meaning "club".
Historians believe this was passed
on to the Scottish, whose own
dialect changed this to "golve,"
"gowl" or "gouf". By the sixteenth
century, this had evolved into the
word we know today.
** Don't feel bad about your high
handicap - 80% of all golfers will
never achieve a handicap of less
than 18.

Tips for Handling Telemarketers
Three Little Words That Work!!
(1)The three little words are: 'Hold
On, Please...'
Saying this, while putting down your
phone and walking off (instead of
hanging-up immediately) would make
each telemarketing call so much more
time-consuming that boiler room sales
would grind to a halt.
Then when you eventually hear the
phone company's 'beep-beep-beep'
tone, you know it's time to go back
and hang up your handset, which has
efficiently completed its task.
These three little words will help
eliminate telephone soliciting.
(2) Do you ever get those annoying
phone calls with no one on the other
end?
This is a telemarketing technique
where a machine makes phone calls
and records the time of day when a
person answers the phone.
This technique is used to determine
the best time of day for a 'real' sales
person to call back and get someone
at home.
What you can do after answering, if
you notice there is no one there, is to
immediately start hitting your # button
on the phone, 6 or 7 times as quickly
as possible. This confuses the machine
that dialled the call, and it kicks your
number out of their system. Gosh,
what a shame not to have your name
in their system any longer!!!
(3) Junk Mail Help:
When you get ads enclosed with your
phone or utility bill, return these ads
with your payment. Let the sending
companies throw their own junk mail
away.
When you get those ‘pre-approved’
letters in the mail for everything from
credit cards to 2nd mortgages and
similar type junk, do not throw away
the return envelope.
Most of these come with postage-paid
return envelopes, right? It costs them
more than the regular postage, ‘IF’ and
when they receive them back.
It costs them nothing if you throw
them away! The postage was around
50 cents before the last increase and
it is according to the weight. In that
case, why not get rid of some of your
other junk mail and put it in these cool
little postage-paid return envelopes

Memory Care Facility Approved
for Olathe Medical Park
From Lacey Kane
A new option for families dealing
with memory care needs will be
available in the near future.
The Cedar Lake Village Board of
Directors and the Olathe Medical
Center Board of Trustees have both
approved the launch of a new memory
care assisted-living facility dedicated
to the treatment of dementia and
Alzheimer’s disease. Olathe Medical
Center and the Evangelical Lutheran
Good Samaritan Society are joint
owners of Cedar Lake Village, where
the new facility will be added.
“We currently serve the needs of
individuals with early stages and
the most severe stages of memory
care needs,” Frank H. Devocelle,
President/CEO of Olathe Medical
Center, said. “This expansion will
allow us to take care of people at all
stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s.”
The new building is expected to open
in early 2016. It will be connected
to the main building of Cedar Lake
Village, providing very safe, secure
and comfortable households and
neighborhoods.
“We believe the proximity is
important to allow spouses and
friends to easily visit each other if
also residing at Cedar Lake Village,”
Joanna Randall, Cedar Lake Village
Executive Director, said.
Each
household
will
include
dining rooms, access to courtyards,
entertainment rooms, and other
amenities.
“We have designed this to be a
home where the residents have the
privacy and independence of their own
bedroom and bathroom in addition to
the shared amenities,”
Randall said. “Our goal will be to
help each resident feel loved, valued
and peaceful.”
Conceptual drawings are complete
and the architects will immediately
begin working toward final drawings.
The construction timeline will be
determined soon.

The next Olathe Blood Drive will
be Aug. 14 7:00 - 4:00 at the OMC

David and Goliath
proposal was Johnson County, one of
the wealthiest counties in the United
States. If successful, Johnson County
taxpayers would have contributed $440
million to the project while receiving
back a total of only $40 million from
the 25 year tax.
Just what was the tax to be used
for, you ask? Half of it was to pay
for renovations to the Kansas City
Chiefs and Kansas City Royals sports
stadiums. That explains why the 2
teams contributed a total of $3 million
in support of the tax.
The exact uses were a closely guarded
secret (but we found out anyway). The
other half of the tax was to be spent
by various entertainment venues in
Kansas City, Missouri.
Much of it would have wound up
in a new performing arts center in
downtown Kansas City. Little would
have wound up in Johnson County and
practically nothing in Clay County,
Missouri, the third county facing the
tax.
The Joy of Rabble Rousing is the
story of how the author and five of
his compatriots prevailed against $3
million dollars with only a meager
$30,000 to spend.
To be sure they were not the only
people in the fight - but they carried
the brunt of the opponent's wrath. The
author has seen firsthand the power of
ingenuity when people are faced with
a seemingly insurmountable problem.
The team which defeated BiState II didn't even have a name.
They met every Monday morning,
analyzed problems, discussed possible
solutions, and came to a consensus
without ever taking a single vote. Most
importantly they engaged the enemy
at every opportunity and learned from
every engagement. What they learned
is documented in The Joy of Rabble
Rousing. Intended as a how-to book,
it is also a gripping story how the little
guy prevailed. Author Wade Fillip's
book is practical, informative, and just
plain engrossing.

Letter to God
From Diane Hart
There was a man who worked for
the Post Office whose job was to
process all the mail that had illegible
addresses.
One day, a letter came addressed in
a shaky handwriting to God with no
actual address.
He thought he should open it to see
what it was about.
The letter read
Dear God,
I am an 83 year old widow, living
on a very small pension.
Yesterday someone stole my purse.
I t had $100 in it, which was all the
money I had until my next pension
payment.
Next Sunday is Christmas, and I
had invited two of my friends over
for dinner.
Without that
money, I have
nothing to buy food with, have no
family to turn to, and you are my
only hope...
Can you please help me?
Sincerely, Edna
-- The postal worker was touched.
He showed the letter to all the other
workers. Each one dug into his or
her wallet and came up with a few
dollars.
By the time he made the rounds,
he had collected $96, which they
put into an envelope and sent to the
woman.
The rest of the day, all the workers
felt a warm glow thinking of Edna
and the dinner she would be able to
share with her friends.
Christmas came and went.
A few days later, another letter
came from the same old lady to
God.
All the workers gathered around
while the letter was opened.
It read:
Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough
for what you did for me?
Because of your gift of love, I
was able to fix a glorious dinner for
my friends.
We had a very nice day and I told
my friends of your wonderful gift.
By the way, there was $4 missing.
I think it might have been those
jerks at the post office.
