RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT

Welcome Florence DeMalta to our community!Flo was born in San Francisco and came down to San Josewith her family when she was six. Her father ran a smallmattress making company on 7th Street called San Jose

Mattress where all the mattresses were hand-made! Her mother sewed the ticking and her father put in the springs and

assembled the mattress. When the mattress-making industrybecame automated, Flo’s father began doing upholstery instead. By learning from her parents, Flo developed some great sewing

skills as well as knitting and crocheting. She even made her own dresses and wall art! Flo met her husband Vincent at a

dance here in San Jose. They eventually married and had threedaughters and 7 grandchildren. Flo and Vincent were marriedfor 71 years! After their children were grown, Flo went to work at the Spartan Bookstore at San Jose State University and wasmanager there for 20 years. Flo and Vincent enjoyed ballroom dancing and, after Vincent retired, they traveled around the

country. Flo enjoys any arts and crafts activities and would loveto swap travel stories with other residents. Please give Flo a warm hello!

We will be taking two van shuttles:

1st at 9:002nd at 9:30!

Then a picnic after!

What’s-it WednesdayFirst Wednesday of Each Month

The Martial Cottle Park historical collections include some items familiarto us today, and some not so familiar. A different group of Cottle familyitems will be featured each month. In this interactive program we willdiscuss what these items tell us about the Cottle family, local and broaderhistory, and our lives now.

Hang On to your Hat?Wednesday, June 5, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.Location: Martial Cottle Park Outdoor Classroom (behind Visitor Center)

It wasn’t that long ago that leaving the house without a hat would be likewalking out in public in your pajamas. What happened to hats?

We will look at some hats and hat-related items from the Martial CottlePark collections on June 5, and discuss what hats used to mean andwhy they have almost disappeared from everyday wear.

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens which lies behind the iris and the pupil. The lens works muchlike a camera lens, focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The lens also adjusts the eye's focus,letting us see things clearly both up close and far away. Cataracts can occur in either or both eyes but cannotspread from one eye to the other. Most cataracts are related to aging and are very common in older peopleand, according to the World Health Organization, age-related cataracts are responsible for 51 percent of worldblindness. According to the Mayo Clinic symptoms of cataracts include:

▪ Cloudy, blurred or dim vision▪ Increasing difficulty with vision at night▪ Sensitivity to light and glare▪ The need for brighter light for reading and other activities▪ Seeing “halos” around lights▪ Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription▪ Fading or yellowing of colors▪ Double vision in a single eye

It’s very common to suffer some vision loss from the clouding of the natural eye lens as we age. In NorthAmerica, about 42 percent of people have lens changes between ages 42 and 64. That percentage rises to 91percent by age 75. Fortunately, cataracts can be repaired surgically by inserting a foldable plastic lens toreplace the natural one and cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision. In fact, it is the mostfrequently performed surgery in the United States, with over 1.5 million cataract surgeries done each year.

HealthCorner

He was a likable, stray border terrier who had two hobbies: He liked to travel and he likedmailbags. In particular, the dog who became known as Owney liked to sleep on mailbags and itdidn’t matter to him if the mailbags were headed across town or across the country. In the late1800s, when dogs frequently roamed freely, Owney became the darling mascot of the postal serviceand even a world traveler.

It all started in 1888 in Albany, New York, when the dog showed up at a post office and was adoptedby the postal workers. They noticed he liked to sleep on mailbags and one other thing: Owney wasfriendly toward postal workers who moved mailbags, but he was decidedly unfriendly to non-postalworkers. The talent was a useful one as Owney traveled from one post office to another, guardingmailbags in return for food and water. On one occasion, a mailbag fell off a train and Owney stayedwith the bag until a worker came back for it. He quickly gained fame across the postal service.

An 1893 book by Cushing Marshall has this description: "The terrier 'Owney' travels from one endof the country to the other in the postal cars, tagged through, petted, talked to, looked out for, asa brother, almost. But sometimes, no matter what the attention, he suddenly departs for the south,the east, or the west, and is not seen again for months."

Albany postal workers worried when Owney disappeared for months sothey had a special collar made with the address of the Albany Post Officefor identification. At the various post offices he visited, Owney got a newtag clipped to his collar until finally, he jingled loudly with every step.Owney is still honored at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum inWashington, DC, where 397 of his medals and tags are on display.

Small Thoughts on LongevityYou may recognize Dr. Gary Small from his PBS

special, Living Better Longer. Or perhaps you’ve read hisbest-selling book iBrain: Surviving the Technical Alteration

of the Modern Mind. Gary Small, M.D., Professor of psychiatryand biobehavioral sciences, is the director of the UCLACenter on Aging and Chief Scientific Advisor for Dakim.

Dr. Small took a few minutes from his busy scheduleto talk with us about brain fitness:

We live in a hyper-technological, Internet-driven world.So it’s only natural to wonder if it’s making us smarted or doing all

the brain work for us. In other words, is technology a boon or a bustwhen it comes to improving our brain function? A study conducted at

UCLA suggests that a simple, everyday task like searching the webappears to enhance brain circuitry in older adults, demonstrating that

our brains are sensitive and can continue to learn as we grow older.

The study included participants between the ages of 55 and 76.They were asked to perform assigned Internet searches

and later to read a book while undergoing brain scans.These scans recorded the blood flow to different areas ofthe brain during these cognitive tasks. The results? Those

with previous experience searching the web showed atwofold increase in brain activity while searching online.

Those with no previous experience did not at first show the increase. However,after keeping at it for just a week, their scans showed an increase in activity.

This suggests it’s possible that when you use a computer to search online, it is abuilt-in brain-training course, comparable to crossword puzzles and the like. So, the

very good news is, Internet searching engages complicated brain activity, whichmay help exercise and improve brain function no matter what your age.

What You Can Do TodayThe vast majority of funding for Alzheimer’s research is done

through private sector. That’s all well and good, but it’s simply notgetting the job done fast enough. We invite you to visit The

Alzheimer’s Association website. There, you’ll find a link for you tocontact Congress and let them know how badly Alzheimer’s needs

their attention and research dollars to combat this national andglobal epidemic. Visit www.alz.org for the link today.

Thousands already being helped.Medical research studies conducted over the past 20 years have concluded that

seniors who participate in long-term rigorous cognitive exercise have as much as a63% reduced risk of dementia. Dakim BrainFitness units are already helping

thousands of people in more than 500 senior living communities inNorth America get a rigorous cognitive workout with SeniorCentric™

activities and exercises that are highly mentally stimulating.
