ead up north on May 17 and 18 to spend time
at Schwab Festival on one of the most beautiful Marine Corps camps on Okinawa. Along with
fantastic beaches and scenery there will be fun and
activities for everyone to enjoy. You can try your
hand at a variety of game booths, sample some delicious Okinawan and American foods, and kids can

ou may have seen those plastic food replicas in display
cases of restaurants. Each plastic
food dish is created by a plastic
food artisan with secret techniques
and ingredients used in each of
their craft.
Much like master chefs, artists
who make faux food attend school
for a number of years to learn the
craft. The kitchens look like those
in any other culinary institute, but
it’s the ingredients that are quite
different. Instead of noodles and
cheese sauce, artisans are working
with silicon or wax. Kitchen paring
knives and other utensils are used
to give chopped ingredients authentic lines.
The food replicas are expensive
since orders are custom designed
to each restaurant. Simple items
range from $30 to $40 per piece. A
piece of sushi can cost $70. The displays must be updated with menu
changes, or about every five years
as sunlight will damage the replicas
and fade their colors.

O
Muffins with Mommy
ne of the best ways to celebrate
Mother’s Day is to spend quality time with the special mother in
your life. Nothing creates lasting
memories better than time well spent
between mothers and their children.
This Mother’s Day, celebrate Mom
with stories, songs, poems, rhymes
and fingerplays at Muffins with
Mommy. This free event will be held
at the Camp Foster Library on Saturday, May 17 from 10 to 11 a.m.
Children will also be able to make
a craft that they can finish at the
event or take home to complete. Of
course, muffins will be offered to
all who participate in the activities.
Spend time with Mom this Mother’s Day at this fun and friendly
event and enjoy some muffins while
you’re at it. This event is open to
all mothers and their families. For

Okinawan Health and Diet
kinawa has a reputation for
being one of the healthiest places on Earth. The term
“healthy,” of course, encompasses
a wide spectrum of components.
Not only is the average life expectancy
80 to 90 years old,
Okinawa also has an
unusually high percentage of centenarians and significantly
low counts of age-related diseases such as
cancer, Alzheimer’s,
cardiovascular
disease and dementia.
The peaceful elders
of Okinawa are often impressively
active for their age. While genetics
do play a small role in their successful aging game, the real secret
to learn consists of five key parts:
an antioxidant-rich diet, a virtual-
ly stress-free lifestyle, small caring
communities, constant physical
activity and a lot of spirituality.
Generally, their diet is one heavy
on fish and vegetables and light on
meat and dairy. Some of the most
health benefit-wielding foods in
a traditional Okinawan meal include: sweet potatoes, goya, konnyaku (a root vegetable), shiitake
mushrooms, umibudo (sea grapes),
gobo (burdock root), hechima (a
gourd), seaweed (like wakame and
mozuku), ucchin (turmeric), fuchiba (mugwort leaves), hihatsu (a
pepper) and ichoba (fennel). Many
Okinawans also follow the ancient concept of hara hachi bu,
or eating until you are
80 percent full. Not a
particularly common
practice in the west,
hara hachi bu is an extremely healthy form
of calorie restriction
that can aid in digestion as well as weight
control. At the end of
the day, it all comes down to eating
less of the unhealthy foods, including meat and dairy, and more vegetables and fish, no matter which
diet you choose to follow.
