MEMBERS, ACTIVISTS

DEAR BARB,

Can you tell me
what actually
causes us to age,
and the role of
nutrition and
aging?

RITA

SO WHAT CAN WE CHANGE?

‡ Inactivity - "activity" slows down aging
decline
‡ Unhealthy diet - eating "more mindful"
‡ Weight - achieving "perfect weight" for
you
‡ Understanding - learn the aging process
with all it’s alterations
‡ Using the brain - "increase memory and
brain cells"
‡ Attitude - keep a "positive" psychological
outlook
‡ Decision making - take "personal
control" in yours’
‡ Quality of life - "improve" your living
situation
‡ Our Nutrition - by "optimizing" what
you eat and "correcting" differences or
changes in normal meal patterns
‡ Smoking - immediately "stop" smoking
‡ Linking - staying connected to
"meaningful affairs"
‡ Social support - surrounding yourself
with "good people"
‡ Spirituality - looking "more inward"
‡ Skills - learning positive "coping skills"
‡ Behaviors - participating in "healthful"
life behaviors
‡ Staying educated -" taking an active role"
in reducing destructive consequences of
aging
‡ Acceptance - by change and learning

what you can do for it

FRED M. BUTZEL PORTRAIT RESTORED

A portrait of legendary Jewish com-
munity leader Fred M. Butzel (1877-
1948), known as the “dean of Detroit
Jewry,” has been restored and placed
in the conference area that bears his
name at the Max M. Fisher Federation
Building in Bloomfield Township.
It was unveiled Aug. 24 following a
Federation/United Jewish Foundation
board meeting.
After Butzel’s death, the Jewish
Welfare Federation commissioned
Roy C. Gamble to paint a portrait of
Butzel to hang in the grand stairwell
of its then-new headquarters at 163

Madison Ave., appropriately named
the Fred M. Butzel Memorial Building.
For 40 years, Fred Butzel watched
over the people for whom he cared so
deeply. The painting had been in stor-
age since 1991.
Local historian Judy Cantor had
the idea to hang the portrait again.
Funds for restoration, accomplished
by Barbara Heller, were provided by
private donors in cooperation with the
Jewish Historical Society of Michigan.
This portrait is an honored part of the
Leonard N. Simons Jewish Community
Archives collection.
