The Golden Years:
Keeping in full swing
throughout the
autumn of life
Q: Back when I was younger, I
loved playing golf. Now some-
thing is always hurting so I
don’t dare play! Could you
help?
A: It is so unfortunate that
millions of our senior citizens
have worked and saved and give
to their Community only to find
the “golden years’ more “old”
than “gold”. Right at the height
of their freedom, they often find
it difficult to get around, their
old activities.
Unfortunately, it is often
thought that they must “learn
to live with it” or be given yet
another pain pill. Actually that
may be anything but true. In our
office we commonly see people
in their seventies and eighties.
And they love the spring in
their step and the twinkle in
their eyes they get through

• Kosher salt
• 12 ounces whole-wheat
spaghetti
• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil
• 3 large leeks, white and light-
green parts only, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
(preferably aged)
• 1 small head radicchio, halved,
cored and thinly sliced
• 6 ounces creamy Italian cheese,
such as fontina or taleggio, cubed
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted
and chopped
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Scatter the leeks
in the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about
10 minutes.
3. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta and the reserved cooking liquid
to the skillet with the leeks. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon sugar and the balsamic vinegar.
4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the radicchio and cheese. Toss until the cheese melts, 3 to 5
minutes. Season with salt and top with the hazelnuts.
