GENERAL INFORMATION
From the Friends
PO Box 313, Longmont, CO 80502 www.friendslongmont.org

As I grow older, I am more aware that my health is a great asset, especially brain health.
As a result, I have read a number of books on how to maintain and even improve my
brain and my mind. I would like to briefly share some things that I have found helpful to
me.

In the past few decades, neuroscientists have discovered that the brain is quite flexible.
While the brain was once thought to be rigid, it has now been found that the brain actually creates new brain cells in
an area called the hippocampus, which is crucial for learning and memory. For unknown reasons, physical exercise
increases the number of cells generated by the hippocampus. “Exercising” the brain with new activities puts these
new cells to work.

Here are some tips for improving brain health: 1) Continue to learn (use it or lose it). 2) Take care of your nutrition.
The brain only weighs 2% of body mass but consumes over 20% of the oxygen and nutrients you take in.
3) Exercising your body will sharpen your brain. 4) Practice positive, future-oriented thoughts until they become
your default mindset. 5) Challenge your brain often with new activities. 6) Keep learning - the brain keeps
developing, no matter your age. 7) Explore and travel - adapting to new locations forces you to pay more attention
to your environment. 8) Make your own decisions and mistakes and learn from them. 9) Develop and maintain
stimulating friendships. We are “social animals,” and need social interaction. 10) Laugh often, especially to
cognitively complex humor, full of twists and surprises.

To nurture your brain at any age, you need to use physical exercise, mental exercise and proper nutrition. Nutrition
can come from healthy foods and supplements. There are many good books on brain health (many are on audio
CD). I suggest reading books that have been published after 2000. The Longmont Senior Center offers many, many
activities to support brain health!

KITCHEN SAFETY FROM JULIE BURROWS – SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD

Kitchen fires are the number one cause of household fires.


The Longmont Fire Department offers the following help should you have a pan catch fire on top of the
stove. If the fire is confined to the pan, turn the heat off under the burner and slide a cover (do not drop
it) over the pan. This will remove the oxygen and smother the fire. Should the fire be outside of the pan,
GET OUT of the house immediately and call 911 from the nearest safe place.

See p. R4 for smoke detector purchase and installation assistance.

SPECIAL EVENTS
Residential Efficiency Matching Grant Program
Activity # 7007.300
Dates/Times: Wednesday, June 2 at 5:30 p.m. and Tuesday, June 8 at 1:00 p.m.
Cost: FREE, registration required
The City of Longmont is offering matching grants of up to $500 to residential property owners who
implement qualified energy efficiency measures. These matching grants are in addition to other rebates
available from Xcel Energy or the Governor’s Energy Office. Matching grants are available to:
1) Owners of single family homes, duplexes and triplexes that are considered to be a
single dwelling unit and
2) Owners of larger multi-family complexes.
Qualifying efficiency improvement measures include:
• Ceiling and wall insulation
• High efficiency furnaces (90% AFUE or higher)
• Energy Star refrigerators
• Energy Star (or equivalent) water heaters
• Air sealing
• Duct sealing and insulating
• Ultra low-flow toilets
• Replace air conditioners with evaporative coolers

The matching grants are available to owners of residential properties in the City of Longmont who have an
active utility account and receive electric service from Longmont Power & Communications. Matching
grants are 50% of the cost of qualified measures, after other applicable rebates, up to $500 per single family
property or multi-family rental unit.
Example 1: A home owner spends $1,500 for insulation, air sealing and duct sealing on a single family
home with Xcel Energy natural gas service. The home owner may qualify for a $300 rebate from Xcel and
the City of Longmont would pay a matching grant of $500 on the remaining balance of $1,200, leaving the
home owner with a net cost of $700.
Example 2: The owner of a 4-plex with Xcel natural gas service spends $3,000 for insulation and sealing
the entire building. The property owner may qualify for Xcel rebates up to $600 ($150 per unit) and the
City of Longmont would pay a matching grant of $1,200 on the remaining balance of $2,400, leaving the
property owner with net cost of $1,200.
This program has funding for approximately 50 single family properties and 50 multi-family units on a
first come, first-served basis. A matching grant application must be submitted and approved before work is
started and an energy audit is required. Call Natalie Alberg at the Center for Resource Conservation at
303-999-3820 x226 for more information.

What your body needs shows in your blood test. Blood nutritional analysis is a comprehensive approach to

based on YOUR biochemistry. Certain lab indicators can reveal electrolyte, mineral, and other nutritional
imbalances. Blood nutrition analysis identifies nutritionally significant information in the healthy range of
your blood test (functional range). Come learn how a comprehensive blood test can detect patterns that have
nutritional significance. Where to find low cost blood testing, assessments and forms will be available.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
Summer Heat Safety for Seniors
Elderly people (people aged 65 years and older) are more prone to heat stress than younger people for
several reasons:
•Elderly people do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature.
•They are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat.
•They are more likely to take prescription medicines that impair the body’s ability to regulate its temperature
or that inhibit perspiration.

What You Can Do to Prevent Heat Related Problems?


•Drink cool, nonalcoholic beverages. If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has
you on water pills, ask him how much you should drink when the weather is hot. Also, avoid extremely cold
liquids because they can cause cramps.
•Rest.
•Take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath.
•If possible, seek an air-conditioned environment. If you don’t have air conditioning, consider visiting an
air-conditioned shopping mall or public library to cool off.
•Wear lightweight clothing.
•If possible, remain indoors in the heat of the day.
•Do not engage in strenuous activities.
•Visit older adults at risk at least twice a day and watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Feldenkrais Method® - Easy Movement


Would you like to regain flexibility, improve your balance, coordination, and reduce tension and pain?
In these Awareness Through Movement® classes, you will be guided through a series of movements
designed to allow your body to move more easily. Regain flexibility and improve balance as you
slowly and gently complete each movement. This class is excellent for those with neurological issues
such as MS, Parkinson’s, and those recovering from stroke. People with such issues, who are not
seniors, may also attend this class at the non-resident rate. This class will be done on a chair or on the
floor on thick mats depending on your abilities.

Qi Gong (No Summer Classes - Will Return in September)


Qi Gong is the ancient practice of energy cultivation which allows one to access their “healer within.”
Qi is your internal vital life force energy. This ancient, powerful and simple mind/body/spirit practice
includes gentle, rhythmic body movements, self massage, breath work and meditation. The positive
effects of Qi Gong include overall health improvement, an increased sense of well-being and healing
from disease/illness. Your teacher will be Randi Savage RN, MS, Lic. Acupuncturist. She has been
teaching Qi Gong for over 8 years. Randi is trained as a Classical Five Element Acupuncturist and
incorporates Chinese medicine theory into her classes.

Pilates
Discover this popular modality of core strengthening and improve your flexibility, relieve joint pain
and increase your peace of mind and breathing capacity. Kathy Kerr, certified Pilates instructor, will
give you individual attention and focus. All levels of fitness welcome. Most work will be done on the
floor on a mat.

Senior Conditioning
If you want to start exercising, this is the perfect class for you! Learn the basics behind strength
training - starting by working on different muscle groups, learning proper techniques and body
alignment. You will work with various types of equipment such as balls, bands, steps and hand
weights, and learn things you can do at home, too. This class gives you an “all in one” workout and
may even include some mild cardio to get your heart rate elevated in addition to building and toning
muscles. It is never too late to get in shape! This class will be offered in the St. Vrain Memorial
Building located at 700 Longs Peak Ave.

Activity # 7513.300
Date: Thursdays, June 10, 17 and 24 (three class sessions)
Time: 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Cost: FREE, registration required
The cane can be a very effective weapon, and you don’t need to be a super athlete to
wield it effectively. This is an outgrowth of the “T’ai Chi for Geezers and Gezzerinas” class taught by Steve
Elliot.
The class started practicing with canes a few months ago and decided they would like to share this idea with
the rest of the world. Just a few examples and a little practice will give you more confidence as you’re out
and about. In addition, there is a short cane form that takes just a few minutes to perform that helps your
balance and mobility. Bring your own cane or a few will be available for use during the class. Steve Elliott
has been a T’ai Chi student for 27 years now and has been teaching for five years.

may be changed based on unforeseen conditions (i.e. weather, construction). Mileage is approximate and represents the
entire distance. Return time will vary according to location, weather, pace, and trail conditions. Prior to hiking, be sure
to check with your physician before starting this program, and make sure you are in good health. If you have questions
about your conditioning or endurance level, we encourage you to begin with an easy hike.

Activity # 8014.301 double/shared room - $235.00 per person

Date: Sunday, August 22 through Wednesday, August 25

Back by popular demand, another trip to the historic gaming town of Deadwood South Dakota and tours of the
area. Deadwood Gulch Resort (elevation 4,533 feet), located just a mile outside of Deadwood is a small resort
that has cozy atmosphere nestled next to a river with a nice restaurant on site. For those who wish to explore
the town of Deadwood, a trolley from the front of the hotel is available throughout the day and evening for an
easy ride to the downtown area. The cost is $1.00 each time you board the trolley. You can find out more about
the Deadwood resort at their website: www.deadwoodgulch.com.

Departing Sunday morning, it is a 7 hour journey to Deadwood with a stop enroute for a fast food style lunch
in Wheatland, Wyoming. Once arriving at the resort, you have the rest of the evening to unpack and relax. The
plan for Monday is to travel to the infamous Wall Drug (a shoppers delight) followed by a scenic drive through
Badlands National Park. Tuesday’s outing will be to the town of Keystone for walking through town, shopping,
having lunch and then on to Mount Rushmore where you can explore the monument and see as well as hear and
read of its history. On both touring days, the bus will leave the resort at 10:00 a.m. and return approximately
6:00 p.m. You may choose to go along on the tours or you may stay at the resort and do your own thing. Fees
quoted include the tours and will not be pro-rated or modified if you opt out of tour days. Please be aware that
there is quite a bit of walking on the day trip to Keystone and Mt. Rushmore.

Your trip package includes three nights lodging, $56.00 in meal coupons at the resort restaurant, $40.00 in
gaming coupons, all sites and tours listed above, and round trip coach transportation from Longmont.
Tips for the driver and housekeeping staff and meal expenses will be on your own. Using the discount coupons
at the Deadwood Gulch resort will help keep your food expense very reasonable.
