Since she was a little girl, it’s been drilled into Amy’s head by her rascal of a dad that monogamy isn’t realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo—enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment—but in actuality, she’s kind of in a rut. She finds herself starting to fall for the sub-ject of the new article she’s writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners.

News RESIDENT PROFILE

Ken and Shirley Underwood are proud to call Port Elgin, Ontario Canada their home and currently live there, while adding some fall and spring months in Festival. Ken grew up on the family dairy farm, which his great grandfather built in 1906. Shirley was raised in the Fruit Belt of Ontario, the Niagara Peninsula. They met at Agricultural College, where Ken was getting an Agricultural Degree, and Shirley studied Home Economics. They were married in November 1978 (after the crops came off!) and are celebrating 37 years this fall.

Ken ran the family dairy farm until 2007 when they sold the cows. He still operates 300 acres, cash crops the land, and manages their other real estate properties. He is also an additional tractor trailer driver for the local milk transport company. Shirley started working as a travel agent, learn-ing on the job, managed the business, and then started her own financial planning practice in 1993. During this time they had four children- three daughters and a son. They now have three granddaughters. In their early farming years, they ran a Bed & Breakfast in their home, and farm vacation holidays in a Century Stone cottage on the same property.

Ken has been very active in dairy organizations at the local and provincial level, and Shirley has been a Rotarian, and on the Board for Habitat for Humanity for 12 years. They are both Global Village team leaders, and Shirley hosted the first Canadian Global Village Team in 2007. They have both done Team builds in Cambodia, Ken has been the leader for two of them, one in Phnom Penh and one in Siem Reap. They have participated several times building in New Orleans, and have already completed the initiation course for the Phoenix Affiliate, and are regulars at the Restore.

Ken and Shirley started their hunt for a retirement spot many years ago, as they are avid travel-lers, having visited Arizona in 1998 with their children, on a circletrip from Phoe-nix to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. In the interim, having travelled to most of the world’s continents, they knew that winters in their later years needed to be in the south. The desert and predictable sunny weather were the deciding factors. They purchased their Festival home in May 2014, with the prime factor being green space and privacy.

Ken and Shirley have joined the Players Club and the Swim-mers Club and have already competed in their first meet last November. As hikers, they started by visiting the Maricopa County Parks this past spring and are keen to do more. Shirley started up the new sand volleyball interest group in April 2015, and several great games have already been played. She has attended Fine Arts Club classes, and Ken is interested in the Car Club, as they drive their Corvette here for fun!

Not yet retired from their obligations in Canada, they are looking forward to spending the full winter in Sun City Festival starting in the fall of 2016.

Cox offers access to the fastest in-home WiFi service with the latest in wireless Internet equipment. Outside the home, access to CoxWiFi hot spots is free for Cox customers who subscribe to Cox High Speed Internet Preferred, Premiere and Ultimate packages.

“The benefits of an ultra-fast Cox High Speed Internet connec-tion extend far beyond the home. When our customers are on the go, they can enjoy free access to CoxWiFi hotspots, plus the nation’s largest WiFi network of over 400,000 CableWiFi hotspots across the country,” said Wolfe. “These hotspots are located in public areas across the valley and nationwide, such as restaurants, malls, sports arenas, parks and beaches including 1,200 CoxWiFi hotpots in the metro Phoenix and Tucson area.”

Cox customers who are looking for WiFi access can go to www.cox.com/hotspots and enter their current location to find nearby hotspots. Users can also click on a WiFi icon on the map or download the Cox Connect app for

The STRONGEST Muscle

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

Free Blood Pressure ScreeningsNov 6 at 2 pm & Nov 16 at 9 am (in Fitness Center)6

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 congestive 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 feeding the muscle. This can lead to death of the heart muscle and heart attack.

Risk factors for heart disease include age, gender, smoking, obesity, inactivity, hypertension (high blood pressure), high blood cholesterol, and diabetes. The good news is that most of the risk factors are controllable. Exercise and/or medications can control many risk factors and prevent development of heart disease.

Aerobic or cardiovascular exercise is a great way to prevent heart disease. A simple daily brisk walk of 30-minutes or more can help control blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. Ideally, we need aerobic exercise most days of the week for 30-minutes or more. Brisk walking, bicycling, swimming, jogging, hiking or other aerobic exercises need to be done at a moderate effort to elevate the heart 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.

For more information consult the website of the American Heart Association at www.americanheart.org.
