PRESIDENTrsquoS CORNER Peering into the New Year we might perceive a potentially monumental clash between opposing ldquonarrativesrdquo about who we are as a people and a world

One side calls humanity to work toward an inclusive cooperative and environmentally sensitive vision of life based on the ldquonarrativerdquo established in the awful aftermath of World Wars I and II The opposing narra-tive holds that humanity best works toward a future where the nation or group must first be strengthened in its own values distinct from others and wary of ldquoglobalizing influencesrdquo Perhaps both perspectives are required On one hand when we seek to strengthen our own group and become inwardly focused with our own this ldquocomfortrdquo can become ldquocomplacencyrdquo Likewise when we embark on adventures of ldquochangerdquo by incorporating new thoughts and people we must beware of the possibility of ldquochaosrdquo I have found that aging does not significantly influence either perspective as much as the individual person-ality living in the context of a thriving com-munity such as ours

Why should this concern Canterbury At heart we are an extraordinary band of broth-ers and sisters achieving marvelous things in our 70s 80s and 90 pluses Read the past year of Canterbury Tales under the leadership of Editor Roger Scovil who has ably given us the tools to appreciate and express our narra-tive Congratulations Roger for a first-rate job The Canterbury story unfolds examples of deep commitment to each other for the bet-terment of the Atlanta community and world Our stewardship to this world may be a by-product of privilege and the related oppor-tunity but Irsquod rather believe it is the core of what we are and what we want to become Charity may begin at home but it must never stop there As Georgiarsquos first and perhaps foremost son President Jimmy Carter use to say after an admiring speech to Habitat for

Humanity workers ldquoDonrsquot think yoursquove done enough you can do morerdquo We are about do-ing more at Canterbury Expect bumps be-cause we will approach our work from differ-ent narratives

The primary message I received from many in the Canterbury narrative is this we need to ldquostrengthen our corerdquo This has re-sulted in your Board of Trustees developing strategic statements that have focused man-agementrsquos efforts over the past 9 months

Enhanced state-of the-art Wellness Healthcare and Memory Care Services

Targeted investments in Facilities Tech-nology and Human Resources in order to maintain andor advance market position

Incorporation of opportunities as they may arise to expand services to Seniors of lesser means

Development of community-based pro-grams and services consistent with Canter-bury Courtrsquos faith based roots

Observe that the first two items strength-ens the ldquocorerdquo while the second two re-quire us to look beyond for a greater awareness and engagement of the larger community Our pastoral services depart-ment has a keen eye toward expanding on opportunities for Canterbury to do just that underpinned by the rich traditions of our Episcopal faith Tom Friedman in his recent book ldquoThank

You for Being Late An Optimists Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerationsrdquo takes a decidedly positive approach to the outward global perspective and argues convincingly about the danger of ldquomono-culturesrdquo Our tradition at Canterbury probably leans in this direction as well but we must at the same time honor the values and tradition that con-stitute the strength of well-being forged on the humanizing values of the past I so enjoy the conversations ahead as we ldquogrowrdquo our community to be the blessing for others that it has been to us James

RESIDENTS COUNCIL PRESIDENTrsquoS REPORT

Dear Friends First thank you for the privi-lege of heading the Residents Council for 2017 But 2016 would not be complete without a warm and much deserved THANK YOU to Ruth Anne Foote for her service in this of-fice She has led us well and is a

hard act to follow Most of the good things that happened here

at Canterbury Court are the product of com-mittee activities There are twenty-five com-mittees (can you believe it) all providing es-sential services to us and to this beautiful place where we live There are places for each of us to engage and contribute to ldquohow it is to live hererdquo

Our most treasured assets here are our gar-dens The Garden Committee headed by Margaret Langford deserves great credit for the beauty of our gardens Their latest initia-tive is cleaning out the bog and replanting it with native plants That represents a restora-tion of plantings in 1965 under the direction of Margaret White Hancock one of our founders and landscape architect Edward Daugherty

Financially the largest accomplishment of us residents is the Appreciation Fund It pro-vides gifts to our employees based on tenure four times a year plus a larger Christmas gift Herersquos hoping that you saw the notes from several recipients in the Post Office area about how important this is to the folks who work here and who make this such a splendid place to live Gifts to the Appreciation Fund over and above the amounts given to Canterbury employees flow into the Scholarship Fund for

the coming year Incidentally the Apprecia-tion Fund recently received a nice gift from the family of the late John White president of the Residents Council in 2013 Their daugh-terrsquos letter expressed deep appreciation for the loving care experienced by both her parents at the hands of folks in the Nursing Pavilion on the 2nd floor

The Canterbury Scholarship Fund is a unique effort ably overseen by the Scholarship Committee headed by Jean Ellen Jones This committee is composed of eleven people with great interest in education and a commitment to help Canterbury employees improve them-selves and their opportunities for a better life

Most of the costs of everything else the Residents Council does is funded by the Accu-mulation Sale and brand new this year the auction managed by Everything But the House (EBTH) Martha Solano and Martha Stringer are co-chairs Martha Solano took over last year from Mary Earle Scovil If these folks were in business they would be millionaires they are that good

This edition of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo and the year 2016 would not be complete without a cheer from us all and a standing ovation for Roger Scovil Roger served as editor and publisher of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo for seven years He will tell you others did the writing and thus all the hard work We all know bet-ter He did have a talented side kick his bet-ter half MaryEarle Thank you Roger and MaryEarle Their successors are Nancy Fuku-shima and her side kick Greg It takes guts to take over from the likes of Roger and Mary Earle Thank you Nancy and Greg

COVER STORY

ADMINISTRATION

Happy New Year May 2017 be a year of happiness and good health for all of you I tend not to make resolutions but I do make goals Many of you may remember that about 4 years ago I lost quite a bit of weight Well for whatever rea-

sonhellip lack of exercise and eating too much no doubt I have gained about 25 pounds back I am certainly not happy about this so I have a goal to work out more and eat more healthily to lose the weight again Unfortunately this is nothing new for me as I have struggled my en-tire life to lose and keep off weight

I hope all of you have a goal to move more There are many great classes in the Wellness Center each day walking in the gar-den or even the hallways are great forms of exercise Sometimes our fears of trying new things get in our way or the phrase ldquoIrsquoll start tomorrowrdquo trips us up Eating right and stay-ing properly hydrated are also important as we ramp up and move more As we grow older our brain does not detect that we are thirsty so yoursquoll need to make a conscience effort to drink more fluids and I would encourage that fluid to be water whenever possible Fatigue is one warning sign of dehydration so make sure you have a bottle of water with you during and after you exercise It is also good practice to eat smaller more frequent meals to keep your blood sugar stable and metabolism more effi-cient

By mid-month you will be hearing more about enhancements to our Wellness Clinic

Regine Vincent RN will join Maxine Dura in the Wellness Clinic They will both oversee the health of residents in Independent Living as well has providing more health-related in-formation through educational lectures for both residents and staff We are also looking forward to Dr Bryan Hooker adding more days to his current schedule to provide more medical coverage for those of you who have selected him as your primary care physician

Other new staff additions will be a full-time bus driver which will enhance our current transportation program to include trips to medical appointments a security dispatch per-son who will take calls to expedite any securi-ty need that may arise a concierge who will be located at the front desk to help residents and visitors with any issue that they may have and an IT manager who will be facilitating the addition of new forms of technology through-out our campus We will keep you abreast about these and other new positions once we are ready to roll them out to you It is an excit-ing time that we can now offer new services that will help you live a more comfortable life

Lastly on behalf of all the staff of Canter-bury Court I would like to thank all of you for your generosity over the year The staff truly appreciates your contributions to the Employ-ee Appreciation Fund The quarterly and Christmas gift that each person receives from all of you really makes a difference in their lives We do not take this for granted and wish to extend to all of you our heartfelt grati-tudehelliphellipand again Happy New Year

During this past holiday sea-son events and programs oc-curred which honored Canter-bury residents and celebrated their achievements in creating and supporting programs that have enriched our community We are grateful for the drive

heart and commitment of all residents and leaders who have dedicated themselves to en-hancing our lives

The Pastoral Care Team of Mandy Brady and Spenser Simrill led an annual celebration of remembrance of those we lost over the past year It was a special ceremony and it gave the community a chance to reflect and share in prayer and song The set-up was great for it featured our own Canterbury Choristers led by John Carter This added a meaningful touch with the residentsrsquo voices singing in re-membrance of people close to their hearts It was powerful They closed out the year with two Christmas concerts in the Pavilion and Community Room each to a packed and en-thusiastic crowd We salute Mary Archer who started this endeavor in August of 2015 John Carter has done a fine job building on what Mary started so we have reason to cele-brate

Synch-or-Swimmers had their Fall Show Martha Solano has been the driving force of this group of residents that put on a perfor-mance of synchronized moves to the song Downtown by Petula Clark The pool deck was full with residents and staff to watch them put their practice and teamwork on dis-play With their matching swim caps they circled kicked swam under and behind each other in moves to appreciate They got a nice ovation and received gifts of flowers and wine If you missed their performance you can see it on YouTube Synch-or-Swimmer

Martha we thank you for getting your team in the pool with everyonersquos differing sched-ules We applaud your team for being com-mitted to putting on a good show and they had fun

Leading Age of Georgia a non-profit or-ganization focused on community-based ser-vices for seniors selected Lorene Pilcher for recognition on profiles of Positive Aging for her leadership in initiating the Scholarship Program for Canterbury employees Initial Scholarship Committee members are quick to ascribe the success of this program to Lorenes determination and energy in getting it started in the right way The program was begun in 2013 In 2015 Lorene remained on the committee but turned the chair over to Jean Ellen Jones who has continued to suc-cessfully direct the program The residents enthusiastic support has assured the pro-grams success At the end of this semester seven employees who received scholarships will have graduated from college or technical school Eighteen employees with scholarship support will attend college in spring semester which begins in January Several more em-ployees are in various stages of inquiring and applying for the program Employees have an opportunity to advance their careers and realize their dreams due to the efforts of Lorene then Jean Ellen the Scholarship Committee members and most of all the residents

We had a special holiday season in 2016 and can be grateful for being part of a gener-ous creative and active community We ap-preciate the commitment work and heart that goes into these endeavors You deserve to re-ceive applause take a bow and celebrate Knowing our community there will be more in store as we look to the New Year

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Ad Hoc Hearing Loss Committee Joyce Choplin Chair

After a Hearing Survey conducted with the residents in addition to research the committee recommends to the Residents Council that a hear-ing assistive device commonly known as a tele-coil or looping system be installed in the Commu-nity Room This system uses wireless technology It involves professionally installing a loop or pe-rimeter loop around a facility The telecoil is a small copper wire in hearing aids and it is wire-lessly activated by the loop An audiologist can activate the telecoil if it is in the hearing aid The committee is excited about the possibility of this coming to Canterbury to improve the lives of the hearing impaired

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Choristers Thank you so very much for your wonderful encouragement to the Canterbury Choristers You were very supportive of the Christmas programs in the Pavil-ion and in the Community Room last month and the singers were impressed by the large number of

friends and neighbors who took time to come listen and applaud

I think everyone agrees that the Choris-ters have lsquoturned the cornerrsquo under John Carterrsquos talented leadership A big bravo to accompanist Carolyn Thorsen mountain dul-cimer player Jennifer Evans guest violinist Ellena Hogrefe soloists Gail Johnson and Tom Thorsen and of course to Director John King Carter and the singers Yrsquoall take a bow

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Remember singing adds a dimension to our life at Canterbury Court Itrsquos refreshing You leave rehearsals with a smile on your face Come and try it

paid for her college tuition and fees She says she has been grateful not to be burdened with the high student loans of her classmates

During the recent interview Mavis empha-sized that Canterbury aid went well beyond the financial The Scholarship Committee stepped in to lend structure and to encourage her throughout the process They reminded her of deadlines Mavis reserved special thanks for her contact person on the Scholar-ship Committee Mrs Nordel Wilson who ldquogave me an extra push along the wayrdquo Ma-vis added ldquoWhen I said I was tired she said take some time off but remember to go backrdquo Director of Nursing Regene Vincent helped too creating a schedule that worked

around Mavisrsquo classes Admin-istrator Julie Parker was a regular cheer leader Mavis summarized ldquoWe are all blessed by the programrdquo The RN title after her name is just a state-administered test away

Darton State will send her transcript to state regulators who then authorize Mavis to take the NCLEX exam She expects to take the test and receive the results within the next month or so Then it is on to her next plan to attend Darton State again where in one more year she may earn a Bachelor of Sci-ence degree in nursing

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

PRESIDENTrsquoS CORNER Peering into the New Year we might perceive a potentially monumental clash between opposing ldquonarrativesrdquo about who we are as a people and a world

One side calls humanity to work toward an inclusive cooperative and environmentally sensitive vision of life based on the ldquonarrativerdquo established in the awful aftermath of World Wars I and II The opposing narra-tive holds that humanity best works toward a future where the nation or group must first be strengthened in its own values distinct from others and wary of ldquoglobalizing influencesrdquo Perhaps both perspectives are required On one hand when we seek to strengthen our own group and become inwardly focused with our own this ldquocomfortrdquo can become ldquocomplacencyrdquo Likewise when we embark on adventures of ldquochangerdquo by incorporating new thoughts and people we must beware of the possibility of ldquochaosrdquo I have found that aging does not significantly influence either perspective as much as the individual person-ality living in the context of a thriving com-munity such as ours

Why should this concern Canterbury At heart we are an extraordinary band of broth-ers and sisters achieving marvelous things in our 70s 80s and 90 pluses Read the past year of Canterbury Tales under the leadership of Editor Roger Scovil who has ably given us the tools to appreciate and express our narra-tive Congratulations Roger for a first-rate job The Canterbury story unfolds examples of deep commitment to each other for the bet-terment of the Atlanta community and world Our stewardship to this world may be a by-product of privilege and the related oppor-tunity but Irsquod rather believe it is the core of what we are and what we want to become Charity may begin at home but it must never stop there As Georgiarsquos first and perhaps foremost son President Jimmy Carter use to say after an admiring speech to Habitat for

Humanity workers ldquoDonrsquot think yoursquove done enough you can do morerdquo We are about do-ing more at Canterbury Expect bumps be-cause we will approach our work from differ-ent narratives

The primary message I received from many in the Canterbury narrative is this we need to ldquostrengthen our corerdquo This has re-sulted in your Board of Trustees developing strategic statements that have focused man-agementrsquos efforts over the past 9 months

Enhanced state-of the-art Wellness Healthcare and Memory Care Services

Targeted investments in Facilities Tech-nology and Human Resources in order to maintain andor advance market position

Incorporation of opportunities as they may arise to expand services to Seniors of lesser means

Development of community-based pro-grams and services consistent with Canter-bury Courtrsquos faith based roots

Observe that the first two items strength-ens the ldquocorerdquo while the second two re-quire us to look beyond for a greater awareness and engagement of the larger community Our pastoral services depart-ment has a keen eye toward expanding on opportunities for Canterbury to do just that underpinned by the rich traditions of our Episcopal faith Tom Friedman in his recent book ldquoThank

You for Being Late An Optimists Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerationsrdquo takes a decidedly positive approach to the outward global perspective and argues convincingly about the danger of ldquomono-culturesrdquo Our tradition at Canterbury probably leans in this direction as well but we must at the same time honor the values and tradition that con-stitute the strength of well-being forged on the humanizing values of the past I so enjoy the conversations ahead as we ldquogrowrdquo our community to be the blessing for others that it has been to us James

RESIDENTS COUNCIL PRESIDENTrsquoS REPORT

Dear Friends First thank you for the privi-lege of heading the Residents Council for 2017 But 2016 would not be complete without a warm and much deserved THANK YOU to Ruth Anne Foote for her service in this of-fice She has led us well and is a

hard act to follow Most of the good things that happened here

at Canterbury Court are the product of com-mittee activities There are twenty-five com-mittees (can you believe it) all providing es-sential services to us and to this beautiful place where we live There are places for each of us to engage and contribute to ldquohow it is to live hererdquo

Our most treasured assets here are our gar-dens The Garden Committee headed by Margaret Langford deserves great credit for the beauty of our gardens Their latest initia-tive is cleaning out the bog and replanting it with native plants That represents a restora-tion of plantings in 1965 under the direction of Margaret White Hancock one of our founders and landscape architect Edward Daugherty

Financially the largest accomplishment of us residents is the Appreciation Fund It pro-vides gifts to our employees based on tenure four times a year plus a larger Christmas gift Herersquos hoping that you saw the notes from several recipients in the Post Office area about how important this is to the folks who work here and who make this such a splendid place to live Gifts to the Appreciation Fund over and above the amounts given to Canterbury employees flow into the Scholarship Fund for

the coming year Incidentally the Apprecia-tion Fund recently received a nice gift from the family of the late John White president of the Residents Council in 2013 Their daugh-terrsquos letter expressed deep appreciation for the loving care experienced by both her parents at the hands of folks in the Nursing Pavilion on the 2nd floor

The Canterbury Scholarship Fund is a unique effort ably overseen by the Scholarship Committee headed by Jean Ellen Jones This committee is composed of eleven people with great interest in education and a commitment to help Canterbury employees improve them-selves and their opportunities for a better life

Most of the costs of everything else the Residents Council does is funded by the Accu-mulation Sale and brand new this year the auction managed by Everything But the House (EBTH) Martha Solano and Martha Stringer are co-chairs Martha Solano took over last year from Mary Earle Scovil If these folks were in business they would be millionaires they are that good

This edition of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo and the year 2016 would not be complete without a cheer from us all and a standing ovation for Roger Scovil Roger served as editor and publisher of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo for seven years He will tell you others did the writing and thus all the hard work We all know bet-ter He did have a talented side kick his bet-ter half MaryEarle Thank you Roger and MaryEarle Their successors are Nancy Fuku-shima and her side kick Greg It takes guts to take over from the likes of Roger and Mary Earle Thank you Nancy and Greg

COVER STORY

ADMINISTRATION

Happy New Year May 2017 be a year of happiness and good health for all of you I tend not to make resolutions but I do make goals Many of you may remember that about 4 years ago I lost quite a bit of weight Well for whatever rea-

sonhellip lack of exercise and eating too much no doubt I have gained about 25 pounds back I am certainly not happy about this so I have a goal to work out more and eat more healthily to lose the weight again Unfortunately this is nothing new for me as I have struggled my en-tire life to lose and keep off weight

I hope all of you have a goal to move more There are many great classes in the Wellness Center each day walking in the gar-den or even the hallways are great forms of exercise Sometimes our fears of trying new things get in our way or the phrase ldquoIrsquoll start tomorrowrdquo trips us up Eating right and stay-ing properly hydrated are also important as we ramp up and move more As we grow older our brain does not detect that we are thirsty so yoursquoll need to make a conscience effort to drink more fluids and I would encourage that fluid to be water whenever possible Fatigue is one warning sign of dehydration so make sure you have a bottle of water with you during and after you exercise It is also good practice to eat smaller more frequent meals to keep your blood sugar stable and metabolism more effi-cient

By mid-month you will be hearing more about enhancements to our Wellness Clinic

Regine Vincent RN will join Maxine Dura in the Wellness Clinic They will both oversee the health of residents in Independent Living as well has providing more health-related in-formation through educational lectures for both residents and staff We are also looking forward to Dr Bryan Hooker adding more days to his current schedule to provide more medical coverage for those of you who have selected him as your primary care physician

Other new staff additions will be a full-time bus driver which will enhance our current transportation program to include trips to medical appointments a security dispatch per-son who will take calls to expedite any securi-ty need that may arise a concierge who will be located at the front desk to help residents and visitors with any issue that they may have and an IT manager who will be facilitating the addition of new forms of technology through-out our campus We will keep you abreast about these and other new positions once we are ready to roll them out to you It is an excit-ing time that we can now offer new services that will help you live a more comfortable life

Lastly on behalf of all the staff of Canter-bury Court I would like to thank all of you for your generosity over the year The staff truly appreciates your contributions to the Employ-ee Appreciation Fund The quarterly and Christmas gift that each person receives from all of you really makes a difference in their lives We do not take this for granted and wish to extend to all of you our heartfelt grati-tudehelliphellipand again Happy New Year

Buying local products to support fami-ly farms

Serving seafood that comes from sus-tainable sources

Promoting certified humane cage free eggs

Providing fresh yogurt and fluid milk that is free of artificial growth hormones

Implementing waste reduction practic-es to minimize environmental impact

This year our focus will be more strate-gic What will Dining Services look like in the future How can we engage residents in the process As a reminder comment cards are located on the check-in counters in both the Grille amp McBurneyHancock Dining Rooms We appreciate your feed-back

During this past holiday sea-son events and programs oc-curred which honored Canter-bury residents and celebrated their achievements in creating and supporting programs that have enriched our community We are grateful for the drive

heart and commitment of all residents and leaders who have dedicated themselves to en-hancing our lives

The Pastoral Care Team of Mandy Brady and Spenser Simrill led an annual celebration of remembrance of those we lost over the past year It was a special ceremony and it gave the community a chance to reflect and share in prayer and song The set-up was great for it featured our own Canterbury Choristers led by John Carter This added a meaningful touch with the residentsrsquo voices singing in re-membrance of people close to their hearts It was powerful They closed out the year with two Christmas concerts in the Pavilion and Community Room each to a packed and en-thusiastic crowd We salute Mary Archer who started this endeavor in August of 2015 John Carter has done a fine job building on what Mary started so we have reason to cele-brate

Synch-or-Swimmers had their Fall Show Martha Solano has been the driving force of this group of residents that put on a perfor-mance of synchronized moves to the song Downtown by Petula Clark The pool deck was full with residents and staff to watch them put their practice and teamwork on dis-play With their matching swim caps they circled kicked swam under and behind each other in moves to appreciate They got a nice ovation and received gifts of flowers and wine If you missed their performance you can see it on YouTube Synch-or-Swimmer

Martha we thank you for getting your team in the pool with everyonersquos differing sched-ules We applaud your team for being com-mitted to putting on a good show and they had fun

Leading Age of Georgia a non-profit or-ganization focused on community-based ser-vices for seniors selected Lorene Pilcher for recognition on profiles of Positive Aging for her leadership in initiating the Scholarship Program for Canterbury employees Initial Scholarship Committee members are quick to ascribe the success of this program to Lorenes determination and energy in getting it started in the right way The program was begun in 2013 In 2015 Lorene remained on the committee but turned the chair over to Jean Ellen Jones who has continued to suc-cessfully direct the program The residents enthusiastic support has assured the pro-grams success At the end of this semester seven employees who received scholarships will have graduated from college or technical school Eighteen employees with scholarship support will attend college in spring semester which begins in January Several more em-ployees are in various stages of inquiring and applying for the program Employees have an opportunity to advance their careers and realize their dreams due to the efforts of Lorene then Jean Ellen the Scholarship Committee members and most of all the residents

We had a special holiday season in 2016 and can be grateful for being part of a gener-ous creative and active community We ap-preciate the commitment work and heart that goes into these endeavors You deserve to re-ceive applause take a bow and celebrate Knowing our community there will be more in store as we look to the New Year

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Ad Hoc Hearing Loss Committee Joyce Choplin Chair

After a Hearing Survey conducted with the residents in addition to research the committee recommends to the Residents Council that a hear-ing assistive device commonly known as a tele-coil or looping system be installed in the Commu-nity Room This system uses wireless technology It involves professionally installing a loop or pe-rimeter loop around a facility The telecoil is a small copper wire in hearing aids and it is wire-lessly activated by the loop An audiologist can activate the telecoil if it is in the hearing aid The committee is excited about the possibility of this coming to Canterbury to improve the lives of the hearing impaired

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Choristers Thank you so very much for your wonderful encouragement to the Canterbury Choristers You were very supportive of the Christmas programs in the Pavil-ion and in the Community Room last month and the singers were impressed by the large number of

friends and neighbors who took time to come listen and applaud

I think everyone agrees that the Choris-ters have lsquoturned the cornerrsquo under John Carterrsquos talented leadership A big bravo to accompanist Carolyn Thorsen mountain dul-cimer player Jennifer Evans guest violinist Ellena Hogrefe soloists Gail Johnson and Tom Thorsen and of course to Director John King Carter and the singers Yrsquoall take a bow

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Remember singing adds a dimension to our life at Canterbury Court Itrsquos refreshing You leave rehearsals with a smile on your face Come and try it

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

PRESIDENTrsquoS CORNER Peering into the New Year we might perceive a potentially monumental clash between opposing ldquonarrativesrdquo about who we are as a people and a world

One side calls humanity to work toward an inclusive cooperative and environmentally sensitive vision of life based on the ldquonarrativerdquo established in the awful aftermath of World Wars I and II The opposing narra-tive holds that humanity best works toward a future where the nation or group must first be strengthened in its own values distinct from others and wary of ldquoglobalizing influencesrdquo Perhaps both perspectives are required On one hand when we seek to strengthen our own group and become inwardly focused with our own this ldquocomfortrdquo can become ldquocomplacencyrdquo Likewise when we embark on adventures of ldquochangerdquo by incorporating new thoughts and people we must beware of the possibility of ldquochaosrdquo I have found that aging does not significantly influence either perspective as much as the individual person-ality living in the context of a thriving com-munity such as ours

Why should this concern Canterbury At heart we are an extraordinary band of broth-ers and sisters achieving marvelous things in our 70s 80s and 90 pluses Read the past year of Canterbury Tales under the leadership of Editor Roger Scovil who has ably given us the tools to appreciate and express our narra-tive Congratulations Roger for a first-rate job The Canterbury story unfolds examples of deep commitment to each other for the bet-terment of the Atlanta community and world Our stewardship to this world may be a by-product of privilege and the related oppor-tunity but Irsquod rather believe it is the core of what we are and what we want to become Charity may begin at home but it must never stop there As Georgiarsquos first and perhaps foremost son President Jimmy Carter use to say after an admiring speech to Habitat for

Humanity workers ldquoDonrsquot think yoursquove done enough you can do morerdquo We are about do-ing more at Canterbury Expect bumps be-cause we will approach our work from differ-ent narratives

The primary message I received from many in the Canterbury narrative is this we need to ldquostrengthen our corerdquo This has re-sulted in your Board of Trustees developing strategic statements that have focused man-agementrsquos efforts over the past 9 months

Enhanced state-of the-art Wellness Healthcare and Memory Care Services

Targeted investments in Facilities Tech-nology and Human Resources in order to maintain andor advance market position

Incorporation of opportunities as they may arise to expand services to Seniors of lesser means

Development of community-based pro-grams and services consistent with Canter-bury Courtrsquos faith based roots

Observe that the first two items strength-ens the ldquocorerdquo while the second two re-quire us to look beyond for a greater awareness and engagement of the larger community Our pastoral services depart-ment has a keen eye toward expanding on opportunities for Canterbury to do just that underpinned by the rich traditions of our Episcopal faith Tom Friedman in his recent book ldquoThank

You for Being Late An Optimists Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerationsrdquo takes a decidedly positive approach to the outward global perspective and argues convincingly about the danger of ldquomono-culturesrdquo Our tradition at Canterbury probably leans in this direction as well but we must at the same time honor the values and tradition that con-stitute the strength of well-being forged on the humanizing values of the past I so enjoy the conversations ahead as we ldquogrowrdquo our community to be the blessing for others that it has been to us James

RESIDENTS COUNCIL PRESIDENTrsquoS REPORT

Dear Friends First thank you for the privi-lege of heading the Residents Council for 2017 But 2016 would not be complete without a warm and much deserved THANK YOU to Ruth Anne Foote for her service in this of-fice She has led us well and is a

hard act to follow Most of the good things that happened here

at Canterbury Court are the product of com-mittee activities There are twenty-five com-mittees (can you believe it) all providing es-sential services to us and to this beautiful place where we live There are places for each of us to engage and contribute to ldquohow it is to live hererdquo

Our most treasured assets here are our gar-dens The Garden Committee headed by Margaret Langford deserves great credit for the beauty of our gardens Their latest initia-tive is cleaning out the bog and replanting it with native plants That represents a restora-tion of plantings in 1965 under the direction of Margaret White Hancock one of our founders and landscape architect Edward Daugherty

Financially the largest accomplishment of us residents is the Appreciation Fund It pro-vides gifts to our employees based on tenure four times a year plus a larger Christmas gift Herersquos hoping that you saw the notes from several recipients in the Post Office area about how important this is to the folks who work here and who make this such a splendid place to live Gifts to the Appreciation Fund over and above the amounts given to Canterbury employees flow into the Scholarship Fund for

the coming year Incidentally the Apprecia-tion Fund recently received a nice gift from the family of the late John White president of the Residents Council in 2013 Their daugh-terrsquos letter expressed deep appreciation for the loving care experienced by both her parents at the hands of folks in the Nursing Pavilion on the 2nd floor

The Canterbury Scholarship Fund is a unique effort ably overseen by the Scholarship Committee headed by Jean Ellen Jones This committee is composed of eleven people with great interest in education and a commitment to help Canterbury employees improve them-selves and their opportunities for a better life

Most of the costs of everything else the Residents Council does is funded by the Accu-mulation Sale and brand new this year the auction managed by Everything But the House (EBTH) Martha Solano and Martha Stringer are co-chairs Martha Solano took over last year from Mary Earle Scovil If these folks were in business they would be millionaires they are that good

This edition of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo and the year 2016 would not be complete without a cheer from us all and a standing ovation for Roger Scovil Roger served as editor and publisher of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo for seven years He will tell you others did the writing and thus all the hard work We all know bet-ter He did have a talented side kick his bet-ter half MaryEarle Thank you Roger and MaryEarle Their successors are Nancy Fuku-shima and her side kick Greg It takes guts to take over from the likes of Roger and Mary Earle Thank you Nancy and Greg

COVER STORY

ADMINISTRATION

Happy New Year May 2017 be a year of happiness and good health for all of you I tend not to make resolutions but I do make goals Many of you may remember that about 4 years ago I lost quite a bit of weight Well for whatever rea-

sonhellip lack of exercise and eating too much no doubt I have gained about 25 pounds back I am certainly not happy about this so I have a goal to work out more and eat more healthily to lose the weight again Unfortunately this is nothing new for me as I have struggled my en-tire life to lose and keep off weight

I hope all of you have a goal to move more There are many great classes in the Wellness Center each day walking in the gar-den or even the hallways are great forms of exercise Sometimes our fears of trying new things get in our way or the phrase ldquoIrsquoll start tomorrowrdquo trips us up Eating right and stay-ing properly hydrated are also important as we ramp up and move more As we grow older our brain does not detect that we are thirsty so yoursquoll need to make a conscience effort to drink more fluids and I would encourage that fluid to be water whenever possible Fatigue is one warning sign of dehydration so make sure you have a bottle of water with you during and after you exercise It is also good practice to eat smaller more frequent meals to keep your blood sugar stable and metabolism more effi-cient

By mid-month you will be hearing more about enhancements to our Wellness Clinic

Regine Vincent RN will join Maxine Dura in the Wellness Clinic They will both oversee the health of residents in Independent Living as well has providing more health-related in-formation through educational lectures for both residents and staff We are also looking forward to Dr Bryan Hooker adding more days to his current schedule to provide more medical coverage for those of you who have selected him as your primary care physician

Other new staff additions will be a full-time bus driver which will enhance our current transportation program to include trips to medical appointments a security dispatch per-son who will take calls to expedite any securi-ty need that may arise a concierge who will be located at the front desk to help residents and visitors with any issue that they may have and an IT manager who will be facilitating the addition of new forms of technology through-out our campus We will keep you abreast about these and other new positions once we are ready to roll them out to you It is an excit-ing time that we can now offer new services that will help you live a more comfortable life

Lastly on behalf of all the staff of Canter-bury Court I would like to thank all of you for your generosity over the year The staff truly appreciates your contributions to the Employ-ee Appreciation Fund The quarterly and Christmas gift that each person receives from all of you really makes a difference in their lives We do not take this for granted and wish to extend to all of you our heartfelt grati-tudehelliphellipand again Happy New Year

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

paid for her college tuition and fees She says she has been grateful not to be burdened with the high student loans of her classmates

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

PRESIDENTrsquoS CORNER Peering into the New Year we might perceive a potentially monumental clash between opposing ldquonarrativesrdquo about who we are as a people and a world

One side calls humanity to work toward an inclusive cooperative and environmentally sensitive vision of life based on the ldquonarrativerdquo established in the awful aftermath of World Wars I and II The opposing narra-tive holds that humanity best works toward a future where the nation or group must first be strengthened in its own values distinct from others and wary of ldquoglobalizing influencesrdquo Perhaps both perspectives are required On one hand when we seek to strengthen our own group and become inwardly focused with our own this ldquocomfortrdquo can become ldquocomplacencyrdquo Likewise when we embark on adventures of ldquochangerdquo by incorporating new thoughts and people we must beware of the possibility of ldquochaosrdquo I have found that aging does not significantly influence either perspective as much as the individual person-ality living in the context of a thriving com-munity such as ours

Why should this concern Canterbury At heart we are an extraordinary band of broth-ers and sisters achieving marvelous things in our 70s 80s and 90 pluses Read the past year of Canterbury Tales under the leadership of Editor Roger Scovil who has ably given us the tools to appreciate and express our narra-tive Congratulations Roger for a first-rate job The Canterbury story unfolds examples of deep commitment to each other for the bet-terment of the Atlanta community and world Our stewardship to this world may be a by-product of privilege and the related oppor-tunity but Irsquod rather believe it is the core of what we are and what we want to become Charity may begin at home but it must never stop there As Georgiarsquos first and perhaps foremost son President Jimmy Carter use to say after an admiring speech to Habitat for

Humanity workers ldquoDonrsquot think yoursquove done enough you can do morerdquo We are about do-ing more at Canterbury Expect bumps be-cause we will approach our work from differ-ent narratives

The primary message I received from many in the Canterbury narrative is this we need to ldquostrengthen our corerdquo This has re-sulted in your Board of Trustees developing strategic statements that have focused man-agementrsquos efforts over the past 9 months

Enhanced state-of the-art Wellness Healthcare and Memory Care Services

Targeted investments in Facilities Tech-nology and Human Resources in order to maintain andor advance market position

Incorporation of opportunities as they may arise to expand services to Seniors of lesser means

Development of community-based pro-grams and services consistent with Canter-bury Courtrsquos faith based roots

Observe that the first two items strength-ens the ldquocorerdquo while the second two re-quire us to look beyond for a greater awareness and engagement of the larger community Our pastoral services depart-ment has a keen eye toward expanding on opportunities for Canterbury to do just that underpinned by the rich traditions of our Episcopal faith Tom Friedman in his recent book ldquoThank

You for Being Late An Optimists Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerationsrdquo takes a decidedly positive approach to the outward global perspective and argues convincingly about the danger of ldquomono-culturesrdquo Our tradition at Canterbury probably leans in this direction as well but we must at the same time honor the values and tradition that con-stitute the strength of well-being forged on the humanizing values of the past I so enjoy the conversations ahead as we ldquogrowrdquo our community to be the blessing for others that it has been to us James

RESIDENTS COUNCIL PRESIDENTrsquoS REPORT

Dear Friends First thank you for the privi-lege of heading the Residents Council for 2017 But 2016 would not be complete without a warm and much deserved THANK YOU to Ruth Anne Foote for her service in this of-fice She has led us well and is a

hard act to follow Most of the good things that happened here

at Canterbury Court are the product of com-mittee activities There are twenty-five com-mittees (can you believe it) all providing es-sential services to us and to this beautiful place where we live There are places for each of us to engage and contribute to ldquohow it is to live hererdquo

Our most treasured assets here are our gar-dens The Garden Committee headed by Margaret Langford deserves great credit for the beauty of our gardens Their latest initia-tive is cleaning out the bog and replanting it with native plants That represents a restora-tion of plantings in 1965 under the direction of Margaret White Hancock one of our founders and landscape architect Edward Daugherty

Financially the largest accomplishment of us residents is the Appreciation Fund It pro-vides gifts to our employees based on tenure four times a year plus a larger Christmas gift Herersquos hoping that you saw the notes from several recipients in the Post Office area about how important this is to the folks who work here and who make this such a splendid place to live Gifts to the Appreciation Fund over and above the amounts given to Canterbury employees flow into the Scholarship Fund for

the coming year Incidentally the Apprecia-tion Fund recently received a nice gift from the family of the late John White president of the Residents Council in 2013 Their daugh-terrsquos letter expressed deep appreciation for the loving care experienced by both her parents at the hands of folks in the Nursing Pavilion on the 2nd floor

The Canterbury Scholarship Fund is a unique effort ably overseen by the Scholarship Committee headed by Jean Ellen Jones This committee is composed of eleven people with great interest in education and a commitment to help Canterbury employees improve them-selves and their opportunities for a better life

Most of the costs of everything else the Residents Council does is funded by the Accu-mulation Sale and brand new this year the auction managed by Everything But the House (EBTH) Martha Solano and Martha Stringer are co-chairs Martha Solano took over last year from Mary Earle Scovil If these folks were in business they would be millionaires they are that good

This edition of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo and the year 2016 would not be complete without a cheer from us all and a standing ovation for Roger Scovil Roger served as editor and publisher of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo for seven years He will tell you others did the writing and thus all the hard work We all know bet-ter He did have a talented side kick his bet-ter half MaryEarle Thank you Roger and MaryEarle Their successors are Nancy Fuku-shima and her side kick Greg It takes guts to take over from the likes of Roger and Mary Earle Thank you Nancy and Greg

COVER STORY

ADMINISTRATION

Happy New Year May 2017 be a year of happiness and good health for all of you I tend not to make resolutions but I do make goals Many of you may remember that about 4 years ago I lost quite a bit of weight Well for whatever rea-

sonhellip lack of exercise and eating too much no doubt I have gained about 25 pounds back I am certainly not happy about this so I have a goal to work out more and eat more healthily to lose the weight again Unfortunately this is nothing new for me as I have struggled my en-tire life to lose and keep off weight

I hope all of you have a goal to move more There are many great classes in the Wellness Center each day walking in the gar-den or even the hallways are great forms of exercise Sometimes our fears of trying new things get in our way or the phrase ldquoIrsquoll start tomorrowrdquo trips us up Eating right and stay-ing properly hydrated are also important as we ramp up and move more As we grow older our brain does not detect that we are thirsty so yoursquoll need to make a conscience effort to drink more fluids and I would encourage that fluid to be water whenever possible Fatigue is one warning sign of dehydration so make sure you have a bottle of water with you during and after you exercise It is also good practice to eat smaller more frequent meals to keep your blood sugar stable and metabolism more effi-cient

By mid-month you will be hearing more about enhancements to our Wellness Clinic

Regine Vincent RN will join Maxine Dura in the Wellness Clinic They will both oversee the health of residents in Independent Living as well has providing more health-related in-formation through educational lectures for both residents and staff We are also looking forward to Dr Bryan Hooker adding more days to his current schedule to provide more medical coverage for those of you who have selected him as your primary care physician

Other new staff additions will be a full-time bus driver which will enhance our current transportation program to include trips to medical appointments a security dispatch per-son who will take calls to expedite any securi-ty need that may arise a concierge who will be located at the front desk to help residents and visitors with any issue that they may have and an IT manager who will be facilitating the addition of new forms of technology through-out our campus We will keep you abreast about these and other new positions once we are ready to roll them out to you It is an excit-ing time that we can now offer new services that will help you live a more comfortable life

Lastly on behalf of all the staff of Canter-bury Court I would like to thank all of you for your generosity over the year The staff truly appreciates your contributions to the Employ-ee Appreciation Fund The quarterly and Christmas gift that each person receives from all of you really makes a difference in their lives We do not take this for granted and wish to extend to all of you our heartfelt grati-tudehelliphellipand again Happy New Year

During this past holiday sea-son events and programs oc-curred which honored Canter-bury residents and celebrated their achievements in creating and supporting programs that have enriched our community We are grateful for the drive

heart and commitment of all residents and leaders who have dedicated themselves to en-hancing our lives

The Pastoral Care Team of Mandy Brady and Spenser Simrill led an annual celebration of remembrance of those we lost over the past year It was a special ceremony and it gave the community a chance to reflect and share in prayer and song The set-up was great for it featured our own Canterbury Choristers led by John Carter This added a meaningful touch with the residentsrsquo voices singing in re-membrance of people close to their hearts It was powerful They closed out the year with two Christmas concerts in the Pavilion and Community Room each to a packed and en-thusiastic crowd We salute Mary Archer who started this endeavor in August of 2015 John Carter has done a fine job building on what Mary started so we have reason to cele-brate

Synch-or-Swimmers had their Fall Show Martha Solano has been the driving force of this group of residents that put on a perfor-mance of synchronized moves to the song Downtown by Petula Clark The pool deck was full with residents and staff to watch them put their practice and teamwork on dis-play With their matching swim caps they circled kicked swam under and behind each other in moves to appreciate They got a nice ovation and received gifts of flowers and wine If you missed their performance you can see it on YouTube Synch-or-Swimmer

Martha we thank you for getting your team in the pool with everyonersquos differing sched-ules We applaud your team for being com-mitted to putting on a good show and they had fun

Leading Age of Georgia a non-profit or-ganization focused on community-based ser-vices for seniors selected Lorene Pilcher for recognition on profiles of Positive Aging for her leadership in initiating the Scholarship Program for Canterbury employees Initial Scholarship Committee members are quick to ascribe the success of this program to Lorenes determination and energy in getting it started in the right way The program was begun in 2013 In 2015 Lorene remained on the committee but turned the chair over to Jean Ellen Jones who has continued to suc-cessfully direct the program The residents enthusiastic support has assured the pro-grams success At the end of this semester seven employees who received scholarships will have graduated from college or technical school Eighteen employees with scholarship support will attend college in spring semester which begins in January Several more em-ployees are in various stages of inquiring and applying for the program Employees have an opportunity to advance their careers and realize their dreams due to the efforts of Lorene then Jean Ellen the Scholarship Committee members and most of all the residents

We had a special holiday season in 2016 and can be grateful for being part of a gener-ous creative and active community We ap-preciate the commitment work and heart that goes into these endeavors You deserve to re-ceive applause take a bow and celebrate Knowing our community there will be more in store as we look to the New Year

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Ad Hoc Hearing Loss Committee Joyce Choplin Chair

After a Hearing Survey conducted with the residents in addition to research the committee recommends to the Residents Council that a hear-ing assistive device commonly known as a tele-coil or looping system be installed in the Commu-nity Room This system uses wireless technology It involves professionally installing a loop or pe-rimeter loop around a facility The telecoil is a small copper wire in hearing aids and it is wire-lessly activated by the loop An audiologist can activate the telecoil if it is in the hearing aid The committee is excited about the possibility of this coming to Canterbury to improve the lives of the hearing impaired

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Choristers Thank you so very much for your wonderful encouragement to the Canterbury Choristers You were very supportive of the Christmas programs in the Pavil-ion and in the Community Room last month and the singers were impressed by the large number of

friends and neighbors who took time to come listen and applaud

I think everyone agrees that the Choris-ters have lsquoturned the cornerrsquo under John Carterrsquos talented leadership A big bravo to accompanist Carolyn Thorsen mountain dul-cimer player Jennifer Evans guest violinist Ellena Hogrefe soloists Gail Johnson and Tom Thorsen and of course to Director John King Carter and the singers Yrsquoall take a bow

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Remember singing adds a dimension to our life at Canterbury Court Itrsquos refreshing You leave rehearsals with a smile on your face Come and try it

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

RESIDENTS COUNCIL PRESIDENTrsquoS REPORT

Dear Friends First thank you for the privi-lege of heading the Residents Council for 2017 But 2016 would not be complete without a warm and much deserved THANK YOU to Ruth Anne Foote for her service in this of-fice She has led us well and is a

hard act to follow Most of the good things that happened here

at Canterbury Court are the product of com-mittee activities There are twenty-five com-mittees (can you believe it) all providing es-sential services to us and to this beautiful place where we live There are places for each of us to engage and contribute to ldquohow it is to live hererdquo

Our most treasured assets here are our gar-dens The Garden Committee headed by Margaret Langford deserves great credit for the beauty of our gardens Their latest initia-tive is cleaning out the bog and replanting it with native plants That represents a restora-tion of plantings in 1965 under the direction of Margaret White Hancock one of our founders and landscape architect Edward Daugherty

Financially the largest accomplishment of us residents is the Appreciation Fund It pro-vides gifts to our employees based on tenure four times a year plus a larger Christmas gift Herersquos hoping that you saw the notes from several recipients in the Post Office area about how important this is to the folks who work here and who make this such a splendid place to live Gifts to the Appreciation Fund over and above the amounts given to Canterbury employees flow into the Scholarship Fund for

the coming year Incidentally the Apprecia-tion Fund recently received a nice gift from the family of the late John White president of the Residents Council in 2013 Their daugh-terrsquos letter expressed deep appreciation for the loving care experienced by both her parents at the hands of folks in the Nursing Pavilion on the 2nd floor

The Canterbury Scholarship Fund is a unique effort ably overseen by the Scholarship Committee headed by Jean Ellen Jones This committee is composed of eleven people with great interest in education and a commitment to help Canterbury employees improve them-selves and their opportunities for a better life

Most of the costs of everything else the Residents Council does is funded by the Accu-mulation Sale and brand new this year the auction managed by Everything But the House (EBTH) Martha Solano and Martha Stringer are co-chairs Martha Solano took over last year from Mary Earle Scovil If these folks were in business they would be millionaires they are that good

This edition of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo and the year 2016 would not be complete without a cheer from us all and a standing ovation for Roger Scovil Roger served as editor and publisher of ldquoCanterbury Talesrdquo for seven years He will tell you others did the writing and thus all the hard work We all know bet-ter He did have a talented side kick his bet-ter half MaryEarle Thank you Roger and MaryEarle Their successors are Nancy Fuku-shima and her side kick Greg It takes guts to take over from the likes of Roger and Mary Earle Thank you Nancy and Greg

COVER STORY

ADMINISTRATION

Happy New Year May 2017 be a year of happiness and good health for all of you I tend not to make resolutions but I do make goals Many of you may remember that about 4 years ago I lost quite a bit of weight Well for whatever rea-

sonhellip lack of exercise and eating too much no doubt I have gained about 25 pounds back I am certainly not happy about this so I have a goal to work out more and eat more healthily to lose the weight again Unfortunately this is nothing new for me as I have struggled my en-tire life to lose and keep off weight

I hope all of you have a goal to move more There are many great classes in the Wellness Center each day walking in the gar-den or even the hallways are great forms of exercise Sometimes our fears of trying new things get in our way or the phrase ldquoIrsquoll start tomorrowrdquo trips us up Eating right and stay-ing properly hydrated are also important as we ramp up and move more As we grow older our brain does not detect that we are thirsty so yoursquoll need to make a conscience effort to drink more fluids and I would encourage that fluid to be water whenever possible Fatigue is one warning sign of dehydration so make sure you have a bottle of water with you during and after you exercise It is also good practice to eat smaller more frequent meals to keep your blood sugar stable and metabolism more effi-cient

By mid-month you will be hearing more about enhancements to our Wellness Clinic

Regine Vincent RN will join Maxine Dura in the Wellness Clinic They will both oversee the health of residents in Independent Living as well has providing more health-related in-formation through educational lectures for both residents and staff We are also looking forward to Dr Bryan Hooker adding more days to his current schedule to provide more medical coverage for those of you who have selected him as your primary care physician

Other new staff additions will be a full-time bus driver which will enhance our current transportation program to include trips to medical appointments a security dispatch per-son who will take calls to expedite any securi-ty need that may arise a concierge who will be located at the front desk to help residents and visitors with any issue that they may have and an IT manager who will be facilitating the addition of new forms of technology through-out our campus We will keep you abreast about these and other new positions once we are ready to roll them out to you It is an excit-ing time that we can now offer new services that will help you live a more comfortable life

Lastly on behalf of all the staff of Canter-bury Court I would like to thank all of you for your generosity over the year The staff truly appreciates your contributions to the Employ-ee Appreciation Fund The quarterly and Christmas gift that each person receives from all of you really makes a difference in their lives We do not take this for granted and wish to extend to all of you our heartfelt grati-tudehelliphellipand again Happy New Year

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

COVER STORY

ADMINISTRATION

Happy New Year May 2017 be a year of happiness and good health for all of you I tend not to make resolutions but I do make goals Many of you may remember that about 4 years ago I lost quite a bit of weight Well for whatever rea-

sonhellip lack of exercise and eating too much no doubt I have gained about 25 pounds back I am certainly not happy about this so I have a goal to work out more and eat more healthily to lose the weight again Unfortunately this is nothing new for me as I have struggled my en-tire life to lose and keep off weight

I hope all of you have a goal to move more There are many great classes in the Wellness Center each day walking in the gar-den or even the hallways are great forms of exercise Sometimes our fears of trying new things get in our way or the phrase ldquoIrsquoll start tomorrowrdquo trips us up Eating right and stay-ing properly hydrated are also important as we ramp up and move more As we grow older our brain does not detect that we are thirsty so yoursquoll need to make a conscience effort to drink more fluids and I would encourage that fluid to be water whenever possible Fatigue is one warning sign of dehydration so make sure you have a bottle of water with you during and after you exercise It is also good practice to eat smaller more frequent meals to keep your blood sugar stable and metabolism more effi-cient

By mid-month you will be hearing more about enhancements to our Wellness Clinic

Regine Vincent RN will join Maxine Dura in the Wellness Clinic They will both oversee the health of residents in Independent Living as well has providing more health-related in-formation through educational lectures for both residents and staff We are also looking forward to Dr Bryan Hooker adding more days to his current schedule to provide more medical coverage for those of you who have selected him as your primary care physician

Other new staff additions will be a full-time bus driver which will enhance our current transportation program to include trips to medical appointments a security dispatch per-son who will take calls to expedite any securi-ty need that may arise a concierge who will be located at the front desk to help residents and visitors with any issue that they may have and an IT manager who will be facilitating the addition of new forms of technology through-out our campus We will keep you abreast about these and other new positions once we are ready to roll them out to you It is an excit-ing time that we can now offer new services that will help you live a more comfortable life

Lastly on behalf of all the staff of Canter-bury Court I would like to thank all of you for your generosity over the year The staff truly appreciates your contributions to the Employ-ee Appreciation Fund The quarterly and Christmas gift that each person receives from all of you really makes a difference in their lives We do not take this for granted and wish to extend to all of you our heartfelt grati-tudehelliphellipand again Happy New Year

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Ad Hoc Hearing Loss Committee Joyce Choplin Chair

After a Hearing Survey conducted with the residents in addition to research the committee recommends to the Residents Council that a hear-ing assistive device commonly known as a tele-coil or looping system be installed in the Commu-nity Room This system uses wireless technology It involves professionally installing a loop or pe-rimeter loop around a facility The telecoil is a small copper wire in hearing aids and it is wire-lessly activated by the loop An audiologist can activate the telecoil if it is in the hearing aid The committee is excited about the possibility of this coming to Canterbury to improve the lives of the hearing impaired

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

friends and neighbors who took time to come listen and applaud

I think everyone agrees that the Choris-ters have lsquoturned the cornerrsquo under John Carterrsquos talented leadership A big bravo to accompanist Carolyn Thorsen mountain dul-cimer player Jennifer Evans guest violinist Ellena Hogrefe soloists Gail Johnson and Tom Thorsen and of course to Director John King Carter and the singers Yrsquoall take a bow

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Remember singing adds a dimension to our life at Canterbury Court Itrsquos refreshing You leave rehearsals with a smile on your face Come and try it

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

During this past holiday sea-son events and programs oc-curred which honored Canter-bury residents and celebrated their achievements in creating and supporting programs that have enriched our community We are grateful for the drive

heart and commitment of all residents and leaders who have dedicated themselves to en-hancing our lives

The Pastoral Care Team of Mandy Brady and Spenser Simrill led an annual celebration of remembrance of those we lost over the past year It was a special ceremony and it gave the community a chance to reflect and share in prayer and song The set-up was great for it featured our own Canterbury Choristers led by John Carter This added a meaningful touch with the residentsrsquo voices singing in re-membrance of people close to their hearts It was powerful They closed out the year with two Christmas concerts in the Pavilion and Community Room each to a packed and en-thusiastic crowd We salute Mary Archer who started this endeavor in August of 2015 John Carter has done a fine job building on what Mary started so we have reason to cele-brate

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Ad Hoc Hearing Loss Committee Joyce Choplin Chair

After a Hearing Survey conducted with the residents in addition to research the committee recommends to the Residents Council that a hear-ing assistive device commonly known as a tele-coil or looping system be installed in the Commu-nity Room This system uses wireless technology It involves professionally installing a loop or pe-rimeter loop around a facility The telecoil is a small copper wire in hearing aids and it is wire-lessly activated by the loop An audiologist can activate the telecoil if it is in the hearing aid The committee is excited about the possibility of this coming to Canterbury to improve the lives of the hearing impaired

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Choristers Thank you so very much for your wonderful encouragement to the Canterbury Choristers You were very supportive of the Christmas programs in the Pavil-ion and in the Community Room last month and the singers were impressed by the large number of

friends and neighbors who took time to come listen and applaud

I think everyone agrees that the Choris-ters have lsquoturned the cornerrsquo under John Carterrsquos talented leadership A big bravo to accompanist Carolyn Thorsen mountain dul-cimer player Jennifer Evans guest violinist Ellena Hogrefe soloists Gail Johnson and Tom Thorsen and of course to Director John King Carter and the singers Yrsquoall take a bow

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Remember singing adds a dimension to our life at Canterbury Court Itrsquos refreshing You leave rehearsals with a smile on your face Come and try it

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Ad Hoc Hearing Loss Committee Joyce Choplin Chair

After a Hearing Survey conducted with the residents in addition to research the committee recommends to the Residents Council that a hear-ing assistive device commonly known as a tele-coil or looping system be installed in the Commu-nity Room This system uses wireless technology It involves professionally installing a loop or pe-rimeter loop around a facility The telecoil is a small copper wire in hearing aids and it is wire-lessly activated by the loop An audiologist can activate the telecoil if it is in the hearing aid The committee is excited about the possibility of this coming to Canterbury to improve the lives of the hearing impaired

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Remember singing adds a dimension to our life at Canterbury Court Itrsquos refreshing You leave rehearsals with a smile on your face Come and try it

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

Babette Tipping will be Can-terbury Courtrsquos Artist of the Month for January and February Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a full scale museum that could dis-play all of her paintings her nee-dlepoint and her cleverly and skillfully painted pieces of furni-

ture Growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

Accumulation Sale January is the start of a new year for the Accumulation Sale As many of you may already know we are changing things around a bit in 2017 Given the financial success (close to $8500) with minimal work on our part from the Accu-

mulation Auction with EBTHcom last sum-mer we have decided to replace the spring sale with an online auction This should allow us to raise as much if not more money with-out the highly intensive work required by the committee residents and staff The auction will be online from March 29 ndash April 4 2017 with items picked up from the A-room on April 6

I encourage all of you to look around your apartments and storage cages to see if there isnrsquot something that you can donate to the auction Think of collections designer ac-cessories sterling silver crystal and china decorative pieces and the like Perhaps

yoursquod like to donate a car EBTH typically gets more than the Blue Book value for cars which means that you can deduct that full amount

We will begin collecting things for the auction in February and you will receive a do-nation form later in January So start looking and thinking

We will continue to have interim furniture sales when we have enough of an inventory to warrant and it is likely there will be one in January or early February We will also have a small sale after the auction for spring cloth-ing and other miscellaneous items That date is to be determined And we will have a full Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 ndash 13 We will begin collections for the fall sale at the end of August

2017 looks to be an eventful year for the Accumulation Sale and we look forward to help from as many of you as are able

graduating from Carleton College with a B A in Fine Arts studying with internation-ally known artists Babette has made the vari-ous media an integral part of her lifersquos expres-sions

The selections of her work on display will be primarily acrylic paintings In college she worked with various media but she received significant recognition for her watercolors when she was living in Annapolis Maryland She is the artist responsible for the oil paint-ings of the birds in Chicagorsquos Lincoln Park Zoo aviary

Babette was introduced to furniture faux painting and pursued it vigorously following the untimely death of her first husband She would commute to New York City from An-

napolis to study at the Isabelle OrsquoNeil Studio She later stud-ied this technique in San Francisco and Lon-

don Exam-ples of her furniture that has been enhanced by her method of marbling distressing and faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and Babettersquos spacious and gloriously bright apartment in the West Tower

Speaking of gloriously bright the art workshop on the ground floor of the South Tower has been Babettersquos studio The light the view out into the garden the ample space for her easel and materials the readily acces-sible sinks and work areas encouraged and en-abled this wonderful creativity during the past ten years

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Choristers Thank you so very much for your wonderful encouragement to the Canterbury Choristers You were very supportive of the Christmas programs in the Pavil-ion and in the Community Room last month and the singers were impressed by the large number of

friends and neighbors who took time to come listen and applaud

I think everyone agrees that the Choris-ters have lsquoturned the cornerrsquo under John Carterrsquos talented leadership A big bravo to accompanist Carolyn Thorsen mountain dul-cimer player Jennifer Evans guest violinist Ellena Hogrefe soloists Gail Johnson and Tom Thorsen and of course to Director John King Carter and the singers Yrsquoall take a bow

Rehearsals start again on Monday Jan 9th

400 in the Community Room If you read music and have been in a choral group in the past and still have a yen to sing come join the Choristers They will be starting new music some easy and some more challenging but itrsquos good to have this mental exercise and we all profit as we learn new skills With the sup-port of other interested residents I started this venture late summer 2015 and I have a vest-ed interested in its continued success Director John joins me in inviting you to join the so-pranos altos tenors or basses as they continue to make music together Letrsquos keep the ball rolling

Remember singing adds a dimension to our life at Canterbury Court Itrsquos refreshing You leave rehearsals with a smile on your face Come and try it

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

The Four Crsquos Store This time of year every-thing seems to be focused on NEWhellipNew Year new you new exercise plan new diet However new is not always good and change is not always necessary For example our in-house store It started out in a closet in the North Tower and

now has its own storefront and an inventory storeroom far larger than the original closet It has been growing and evolving for many many years it is in a ldquogood placerdquo and ac-complishes what was intended Since I began writing articles about the 4Cs store I have heard from many residents on how apprecia-tive they are that we have this store Irsquove also heard comments about how nice it would be if the store were open on more days and for longer hours For the many new residents who donrsquot already know this by heart the store is open MondayWednesdayFriday

from 930 ndash 1130 AM For the foreseeable future these dates and times are not going to change Thus we know the days and the hours and we must plan ahead Although the stores name is derived from a ldquocash and car-ryrdquo payment system when it first opened this too HAS changed Residents may charge pur-chases to their CC accounts and the charge will be reflected on the monthly bill I donrsquot think though we will call it the 5Cs Store

Donrsquot forget us Do come down to see us Do your shopping first and then drop by the Cafeacute for free coffee and camaraderie And we have good coffee at Canterbury

Herersquos a thought While yoursquore on the ground floor shopping talking and sipping coffee you might check out the schedule for an exercise class Now that would be new for some of us Happy New Year 2017 See you in the store

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta

Exploring a bit of NorthWest Georgia

The Georgia Director of the Conservation Fund (a non-profit Environmental Stewardship Or-ganization) Andrew Schock asked me if I wanted to accompa-ny him on a day tour to hike a stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in

Floyd County Hiking in the forest Of course I had hiked with Andrew on the Pin-hoti trail near Springer Mountain and had learned then that the name derives from the Creek Indian meaning ldquoturkey homerdquo The entire trail stretches from Alabamarsquos Appala-chian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and on to Springer Mountain

Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking start my friend asked me if I had seen a little town named Cave Spring in Floyd County I have lived in Georgia for decades but I had never heard of Cave Spring Andrew thought I should become educated about my adopted ldquohome staterdquo He pulled off the road into this little town population about 1000

Notwithstanding the current unprecedent-ed dry spell here was a natural mineral water spring flowing out of the limestone hill The people who were filling their containers told me that this water was totally pure and uncon-taminated The water temperature is said to be a consistent 57 degrees F and it flows con-stantly

This experience alone would have been

worth the outing But we went on to our hike on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of Georgia (see photo) We could see Alabama in the distance about 10 miles away I was glad to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes The path was very dry straw-like pine nee-dles made the path slick But to be in a forest felt like home to me

No turkeys were in sight but white tailed deer hopped across our path hiding in the bushes to observe us We were lucky not to encounter smoke from the wild fires the wind direction on that day was in our favor but leaves and pine needles were thickly covered with dust

After hiking about 2 frac12 to 3

miles we drove back via Cherokee County near Canton and the lsquoSanta Claus Moun-tainrsquo (the hill really is called that) barely in time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic to and from Atlanta
