RESIDENT PROFILE

Born in the Netherlands and having lived in England and France, Anke Vanderdrift was a flight attendant for KLM when she married and started a new life in New York and New England.

An accomplished athlete, Anke had always enjoyed sports, especially tennis, sailing and skiing. At age 37, the end of an unhappy marriage and a diagnosis of muscular dystrophy prompted a move to Boston. But cold weather aggravated her condition, so at her doctors recommendation, she moved to Florida.

Despite several years of university education in Europe, she had difficulty finding a job because of her illness. At 55, she earned a degree in HumanDevelopment from Eckerd College and worked as a case manager/rehab instructor at The Lighthouse for the Blind in St. Petersburg. Thats when she took up golf, a sport she continues to enjoy.

On a Canyon Tour in 2002, she fell in love with the

Southwest. As she approached retirement, she searched for a golfing community that had a young-ish feel and lots of activities. Sun City Festival is perfect, she loves that the beautiful golf course is playable for all skill levels, and she appreciates the ease of getting there on her golf cart.

Since her arrival in 2007, Anke has become a Festival golf icon, identifiable in her leg braces on the links at least four times a week. She is a member of the Womens Golf Association, she has made a hole-in-one, and has led four successful fun-draising golf tournaments. The residents of Festival have donated more than $50,000 to the Muscular Dystrophy Associations childrens camp over the years.

Anke loves classical music, nature, playing games, and reading; she has started two book clubs here. She also enjoys Barrel Buddies, where she has been known to win contests by correctly identifying wines with concealed labels.

Mosquitos & Other Insects

Monsoon season is right around the corner. The monsoon rains and high humidity levels provide

ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, gnats, and other flying insects. The Community Associations landscape maintenance partner, as well as the Golf Course maintenance team work diligently to remove standing water from the common areas and golf course in an attempt to mitigate the growth of these flying insects, but the weather conditions and surrounding open desert provides ample breeding conditions for them as well.

Residents are encouraged to make every effort to remove standing water from the exterior of their homes.

If anyone notices a site that they believe has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, they are asked to notify Maricopa Countys Vector Control at (602) 506-6616. This is the governmental entity responsible for addressing mosquito concerns in our area. If Vector Control receives enough complaints about a specific area, they will inspect the site, set traps to determine the significance of the mosquito breeding, and take the appropriate action to mitigate the problem.

Most people are aware of coronary artery disease (CAD)-blockage of the arteries which supply blood to the heart. And, we know the consequences of CAD-heart attack, congestive heart failure and others. Many are unaware of the same problems in the veins and arteries of the rest of the body, also known as periph-eral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the arms, stomach, head and legs. PAD occurs most frequently in the legs. Plaque, made up of deposits of cholesterol, fats and other substances can build up in an artery and cause significant blockage limiting blood flow to a portion of, or an entire limb. Restricted blood flow to the brain or limbs can lead to stroke, recurring, slow-to-heal infections, blood clots, tissue death and gangrene.

Symptoms of PAD include decreased temperature of the leg or foot when compared to the other limb, leg pain which starts during exercise/activity and only dis-appears slowly when exercise stops and/or toe or foot wounds which wont heal or are slow to heal. This cramp-like pain is brought on when a working muscle is starved for oxygen. Also, PAD can lead to changes in skin color and difficulty walking.

Leg pain due to PAD is often dismissed as typical of aging, arthritis or just stiff-ness. In addition, a diabetic person might assume the pain is due to neuropathy.

PAD testing and diagnosis is often simple and painless. Tests include a mea-surement of blood pressure in the foot/ankle region and compare that to blood pressure measured in the arm. The ankle blood pressure should be about 90% of the arm blood pressure. The other common test is ultrasound and Doppler imaging of the legs or other affected areas.

Most risk factors for PAD can be controlled. They include cigarette smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure as well as unmanaged diabetes. Uncontrollable risk factors include age (risk increases with age) and family history of PAD.

If you are at risk for, or have symptoms of PAD consult your physician. Also, increased activity, and medications to control the other symptoms can lessen any risk for complications due to PAD.
