Diets do not help, he said. Change in
your lifestyle does. It also allows an individual to join a gym for a short time, get to
know new people and form friendships in
the program. We know if you work out
with a friend, you will stay more committed.
Coon said including the entire family is
part of many of their wellness programs.
The exercise facilities are open to ages
eight and older, but even the childcare for
younger children when parents are exercising is activity-based; there are no televisions in the babysitting area.
An 8 year old to 11 year old can use our
basketball gym, racquetball courts and
pools without parent supervision, but the
parent must be in the facility, he said.
Twelve and above can use the entire facility and programs. This allows the family to
work out together or in different areas but
encourages the entire family to work out at
the same time.
He said the YMCA works with various
socioeconomic levels, too, and more than
$360,000 in scholarships for families were
given out in 2013 alone.
When a family works out together, the
entire family is healthy, Coon said. We
know that the family relationships are
healthier if they work out together.
YWCA offers similar programs, including their Fitness4All Program featuring
all-access family and individual passes,
allowing passholders to partake in unlimited classes for all ages, including Zumba,
martial arts, ballet, circuit training, swim-

wellness on UTEP campus and in El Paso
area communities.
UTEP Wellness program manager Eileen
Aguilar has also worked with UTEP health
promotion students in promoting wellness/health on and off campus with several
programs. Some of the programs include
working with partnering organizations
such as Gamma Lamba ESG Chapter
honor society, with events such as the
Great American Smokeout, World Diabetes
Day events with healthy cooking demonstrations and food tasting, and working
with residents of San Elizario on their
annual Health Fair.
In addition, the fall 2013 Health
Promotion Planning and Implementation
course worked with the Wellness Program
to design four health promotion fiveminute videos, or digital stories on topics
like DUI prevention, healthy nutrition,
stress management and smoking cessation.
The students themselves created much of
the production and design for the videos.

Fitness facts
The online youth health site, wellnessintheschool.com, has collected a
several health and wellness facts from
various sources on nutrition. Here are
a few items to chew on:
Every day, one in four Americans
eats in a fast food restaurant.
Spurlock, Morgan Spurlock, documentary filmmaker from Super Size
Me.
The average American elementary-age child receives only 3.4
hours of food education per year.
Less than most children watch TV
each day.

The generation of Americans
born in the year 2000 is the first in
history to have a shorter life
expectancy than its parents.
Centers for Disease Control
One in three U.S. children born in
the year 2000 could develop Type 2
Diabetes during their lifetimes.

Complications
Improved diet and physical
activity are more effective than
medication in reducing the occurrence of Type 2 diabetes.

As far as the community itself, everyone
that I have talked to about the program is
very curious and wants to know more. It
presents a unique teachable moment for
me because I get to talk to them about
basic nutrition and the public health problems in the community we are trying to
address.
As a Certified Health Education
Specialist, Leos said she has the unique
position of being able to hear from area
residents who may be battling obesity in
their own family.
Theres no better way to learn about a
public health issue than talking to the people who are dealing with it in their homes
day in and day out.
By the end of this year, Leos hopes to see
at least 100 area restaurants participate in
the Eat Well! El Paso program, and
encourages local restaurants to contact her
via phone through the citys Public Health
Department or email at leosjd@elpasotexas.gov. Information on the program is
also available at EPHealth.gov.
One goal of the program is to help people
overcome many of the misconceptions
about eating healthy, including the notion
that taste needs to be sacrificed for a meal
to be healthy.
This is not true. A lot of times it takes
very small changes in actual recipes to
make it healthy while not sacrificing flavor, Leos said. Portion control and the
way the food is prepared are probably just
as important as whats in it.

Penasco was just a simple and uninspiring
cube-like structure, so Ray built a rectangular cement-block addition onto the front.
The new room, which is 15 feet by 35 feet
by 18 feet in height, has absolutely transformed the property. Ray is doing all the
construction including casting the blocks
himself. Using the bottle blocks on the east
and west gives us brilliant colors of blues,
yellows and greens in the early morning
and late evening light.
She quips, It is turning out to be such a
time consuming and amazing project that
we both think it ought to be worthy of a
mention in Architectural Digest.
Parish explains that he is using the same
bottle block construction for the passive
solar greenhouse he has added at their residence in La Union. He notes, At 6 feet by
27 feet, its not as large as the addition in
Mexico, but its spacious enough to allow
us to grow some vegetables and other
plants on a year round basis.
While her husband is busy with his construction projects, and an occasional public
sculpture commission, Becky says of herself, Ive shifted my work to smaller, less
public projects.
She is writing, working on her websites
and painting portraits, primarily of children of some of her friends.
I take photographs of people I have an
affection for, and then use them as the
basis to paint small portraits, most in the
16 x 20 range. These are photo-based, so
they are more realistic in style even though
I may intensify colors a bit. While working
on these, I really connect with these people, and I find myself actually smiling as I
paint.
Becky was also one of the artists chosen
to design a piece for the UTEP Centennial
Pickaxe Project, a fundraiser for the universitys scholarship fund for business students.
Although they travel back and forth
between both homes, the couple continues
to be very involved with the Border Art
Residency located on their property in La
Union.
We are fortunate because our current
student, Jessica Pizana Roberts, is from the
area which makes it great for us. She has
lots of contacts here, and is also currently
filling a sculpture position at UTEP.
Becky shares, Another major project,
which has become nearly a full-time job, is
finding good homes in institutional
private collections for art pieces that
are currently in our own collection or in

dle age.
Trouble is, for those of us who enjoy
performing in plays, the number of parts
written for mature actors is slim, particularly if you are female. Pare it down
to leading roles, and it gets even slimmer.
Director Jean Ames went in search for
a show that would appeal to a more
mature audience and feature mature
actors, and came up with a raucous comedy, Old Hams by Robert Rinfred. It
will be performed in a dinner theater,
and matinee this month at the historic
Womans Club of El Paso.
Lets face it, Ames, past president of
the club, said, most of our audience are
seniors. So it only made sense she said,
that she looked for a show written by a
senior about seniors for seniors.
I found this catalogue (Art Age by
Senior Theatre Resource Center), and all
they do are plays for seniors. I found
this one that is just too funny.
Old Hams takes place in the Ophelia
L. Davis Home for Actors, Musicians
and Singers in Burbank, Calif. So all its
residents can definitely be described by
the title of the play. They include two
sisters, a leading man who could never
remember his lines, a man of 999 faces
and a mystic who wasnt had a correct
vision in years. When the homes owner
dies, the residents must either find a way
to pay the property taxes or the house
will be sold to make way for a shopping
mall. Of course, the old f., excuse me,
old hams, use their considerable acting
skills to try and turn their luck around.
Her cast of actors is a whos who of
long-time performers: Marguerite
Carruthers, Jo Mae George, Frieda
Voeks, Kay Forest, Kevin P. Mullin, Dan
Wright, and Ballard Coldwell, joined by
their younger but still experienced
compatriots, Rachel Mullins and Eric
Mijares.
And that, she said, has been her biggest
joy. Most of these actors have worked

love:
The Little Comedy, is based on a short
story by Arthur Schnitzler. Set in late 19th century Vienna, it focuses on Josephine and Alfred,
who have both become bored with their comfortable lifestyles and have decided to take on
new personas. Alfred takes on the role of a
struggling poet and Josefine, a working class
woman.
Summer Share, is based on the Jules
Renards 1898 play Le pain de menage. This
modern-day musical, set in the Hamptons, is
about two married couples in their thirties who
are spending the summer in a rented cottage.

the styling of the language greatly differs from
the original telling of the Gospels, the plot
structure and the message of the story stays
true to the historical recording in The Gospel.

organized by a very unlikely champion of
rock, Steve Wozniak of Apple computer
fame, who just wanted to throw one big
party in the middle of nowhere. MVD
Visual with Unuson have partnered up to

and the Stray Cats featuring a baby-faced
Brian, Lee and Slim Jim. Day 2 kicks off
with the leather-clad, metal-studded Rob
Halford and his band Judas Priest, and continues down a heavy path with Triumph and
