Afternoon Movie Outing
“Mr. Holmes” Wednesday, August 5, 2015
Depart 1:30 pm Tickets: $7.75
Runtime: 1 hr. 44 min. Rating: PG
Genre: Drama
Director Bill Condon puts a spin on Arthur
Donan Coyle's most celebrated character with
Mr. Holmes, which stars Ian McKellen as the
famous detective. The set-up is that a now-retired
Holmes, his steel-trap mind starting to fade with old age,
lives out his golden years in the late 1940s. He returns
from a trip to Japan searching for a plant that could slow
the aging process and help him regain the faculties he
knows he's lost. While there, he witnessed first-hand the
result of America's bombing of Hiroshima, which has put
him in a contemplative state. He lives with his devoted
housekeeper Mrs. Murno (Laura Linney), and her son
Roger (Milo Parker), who turns out to be of great help
when the detective reopens his investigation into the case
that led to his retirement.

“Lunch & Learn” with Kathy Weidner
Cypress Registered Dietitian Monday, August 24, 2015
11:45 am - 1:00 pm in the Garden Room Topic: “Gluten Free Diets – the Facts and the FAD!”
Many Americans have jumped on the gluten free
bandwagon. (Gluten is the protein found in wheat, barley, and
rye.) Some folks have given up gluten to try to lose weight. Some
folks because they “just don’t feel good,” and a concerned friend told them to
try going “gluten free.” Some people must follow a gluten free diet because
they have been diagnosed with Celiac disease, an auto immune disease that
attacks the small hairs in the intestinal wall called “villa” responsible for the
absorption of our nutrients from our foods. Symptoms are varied, but many
folks with Celiac disease have bloating, skin rashes, achy joints, vitamin
deficiencies and weight loss. Children who have Celiac do not grow properly.
There is a new group of folks that doctors have observed with different
symptoms, but not diagnosed Celiac disease, that may have a “gluten
sensitivity,” They just feel better when they follow a gluten free diet. Come
hear the facts of going “gluten free.” Of course a “gluten free” lunch will be
served!
Please call, Kathy Weidner, Cypress Dietitian at 704-714-5551 to reserve
your place at the table!
