2013 BOARD OF DIRECTORS & STAFF

Hi all,

I am feeling a little patriotic this May 2013. I suppose it is

because this is the month that our Federal government set

aside in remembrance of the men and women who gave their

lives serving in the United States Armed Forces.

I recently read an article that said that more Americans can name the Three

Stooges than can name the three branches of government. Larry, Moe and Curly

were three of my favorite characters. I started thinking about my school days

when I learned about the Constitution. I went on to college, aiming for a

Paralegal Degree, and had to go through Constitutional Law and Advanced

Constitutional Law. Even after all that I still find naming Larry, Moe and Curly

to be the easiest!

So let’s have a little fun this month and have a contest. Have fun with it. Below

are 10 questions for you to answer. Some may have more than one answer, but

any correct answer will be accepted. Drop your answer off at the Center by May

17th at 3:00 PM, in the designated box, and the first entry we pull that has all the

correct answers will win a Senior Center Gift Certificate.

1. What do we call the first 10 amendments to the Constitution of the United States?

2. What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence?

3. We elect a U.S Senator for how many years?

4. What stops one branch of Government from becoming too powerful?

5. The House of Representatives has how many voting members?

6. If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

7. When was the Constitution written?

8. What is one responsibility that is only for U.S. Citizens?

9. What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance?

10. Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the federal government. What is one power of the federal government?

Have fun! Terry

For some people, the love of friends and family, and staying in touch, can provide more than just a sense of well-being; it provides the thread that ties us together. For Janet Beatty, that sense of connection drives all she does.

Born in Ohio and raised in Pennsylvania, Janet grew up with a sense of responsibility and connectivity that she demonstrates to this day. After graduating from a Catholic girls high school in Pennsylvania, she went on to become a Dental Hygienist. She then married her husband, Royce, and moved to Southern California. This month marks their 60th wedding anniversary. He worked for Rockwell on the Space Shuttle program. It was there, in Orange County, that Janet became mom to three children (2 girls/1 boy) and would become very active in both the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of America.

Janet’s volunteering spirit would also take her into the California Women’s Junior League, where she served as president of the organization while working hard for their needs. Janet and Royce eventually retired to Oregon and spent twenty five years there until moving to Castle Rock to be closer to one of her daughters. Janet now has 6 grandkids (3 girls/3 boys) and 4 great grandkids (3 girls/1 boy).

Her never-ending drive for friends and family is one of the reasons she is happy for unlimited long distance telephone service - just to stay connected. She and her husband also enjoy traveling to see all the family and friends in person too.

Janet joined the Center about four years ago to meet and stay connected to new friends. She has become very active in the Sit and Be Fit program and is serving as our ambassador for the Cards Program for those in need of knowing someone cares. She is the one that writes a personal note to all that receive a get well, thinking of you, or sympathy card from the Center.

Thank you Janet for your love of friends and caring heart in all you do. We appreciate the kind words that you share with those in need. Janet, you are truly a special friend to us and the Center.

~Debbi & the Staff

As Spring is here, I think of my favorite flowers and what they

represent. Top on my list are peonies…probably because growing

up our yard had huge beds of peonies that have now existed for

almost 70 years. Their big beautiful blooms, which arrived mid-June in northern Wisconsin,

signaled summer was here. Traditionally, peonies are symbolic of wealth, good fortune in

marriage, royal grandeur and all things powerfully romantic.

Roses….ahhhh….when I lived in California I had a variety of rose

plants that would bloom all year round. I continue to grow them in Colorado and tend to

them like my babies that they are. I think we all know that red roses mean “I love you.”

But did you know that yellow roses are symbolic for friendship and freedom? I think I am going to

“request” a pale pink plant for Mother’s Day as I like what they represent - grace, gentleness and gratitude.

A flower that I have grown to love and attempted to grow since we moved to Colorado 15

years ago is the dahlia. (To set the record straight – I am the transplant to CO, my husband

grew up in Denver.) My favorites are the dahlias with the huge dinner plate blooms that you

have to support because they are so big and heavy. Inulin, derived from the tubers of dahlias,

was given to diabetics prior to the discovery of insulin in 1923. Dahlia colors are like roses

and represent different thoughts. A multicolored dahlia is a way to say “I think of you

constantly,” and single color dahlias are indicative of good taste. I have to admit I like a variety of colors in my

flower bed devoted to dahlias. As you can see, I associate my favorite flowers with places that I have lived my

life so far. My flowers are a way for me to remember different times in my life. What is your favorite way to re-

member different stages of your life?

Castle Rock Senior Center

Presented by: Karie Erickson - Program Manager, Neighbor Network

Douglas County’s neighbor Network Program is a volunteer based program in partnership with Douglas County Human Services

and the Castle Rock Senior Center. The program serves senior citizens and adults with disabilities living here in Douglas County.

The concept of the program is “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” Volunteers help people stay independent and in their homes as long

as safely possible by providing services such as transportation, home care, household upkeep, and companionship. Neighbor Network advocates, educates, and provides a wide range of quality services that empower, promote self-sufficiency, preserve dignity

and improve the quality of life for those who are served. The Neighbor Network phone number to volunteer or to inquire about

services is 303-660-7519.

Cost $5 members ($8 non-members) Same day registration $7 ($10 non-members)

registration is now $2 higher to encourage advance sign ups) and if you are bringing lunch to the Center on a Lunch

and Learn day, we will make space for you to eat in another room. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

****Monthly Free Hearing Screening Clinic with Joanne LaPorta of Accent on Hearing****

Friday, May 10th from 9:15-11:00 AM

Hand and Foot Reflexology - Reflexologist Irene Baertsch 30-minute appointments from 9:00-11:30am on Fridays $15 ($18 non-members)

Reflexology is a holistic healing practice which relaxes while stimulating the body’s own healing

mechanisms. It is a science founded on the basis that areas of the feet and hands are comprised of

zones and reflex points that correspond to all glands, organs and bodily systems. When pressure is

applied to these corresponding areas, stimulating them, the energy flows up body lines to the organs,

helping them to work more effectively and promoting their own natural healing ability. General ben-

efits of treatments include increased circulation, relaxation and release of tensions - and a complete

feeling of relaxation and well-being. Chronic conditions including headaches, sinusitis and pain have

been improved with reflexology.

Irene has a national certification in reflexology and has worked in the field for more than 10 years.

She encourages anyone to give it a try, as the wellness benefits cannot really be explained but need to

be felt to be appreciated. Because of wellness grants, the cost here at the Center is reduced from what

you would normally pay for this service. Sign up at the front desk.

Chair Massage - Massage Therapist Marquita Pattur 20-minute appointments from 9:00-11:40 AM $12 ($15 non-members)

Thursday May 9, Tuesday May 14, Thursday May 23,

A chair massage is wonderful because you don’t have to undress but can just come as you are. Not

only does it feel good, but it can help with a variety of health problems if conducted regularly by a

reputable therapist. Massaging neck and back muscles will loosen tight muscles, increase circulation,

and can improve arthritis and stiff joints. Plus, the relaxation benefits alone are well worth the effort.

Marquita believes that there isn’t a person who can’t benefit from massage and encourages everyone

to try it one time and see how you feel. She makes every massage different, customizing them to the

individual’s needs. Marquita’s nursing background and 11 years experience as a certified and

registered massage therapist help her to understand how to best help you. Because of wellness grants,

the cost here at the Center is reduced from what you would normally pay for this service. Sign up at

the front desk. She has appointments three days a month.

Foot Clinics - Colleen Morton, R.N. (Visiting Nurse Assn) 30-minute appointments from 9:00AM-3:00PM $30 fee Wednesday May 1, Thursday May 2, Wednesday May 15

The foot clinics are for medical foot care by licensed nurses. Studies show that having routine

maintenance of the feet can prevent significant problems in the future, especially for diabetics, but

valuable for all senior citizens.

Here is what you can expect at a visit: trimming of the toenails, screening for neuropathy to see how

the nerves are working in the feet, a check of circulation, along with a blood pressure reading and a

review of medications. The nurses will also help you with serious callouses and ingrown toenails.

As you can see, this is not a pedicure, but involves important maintenance procedures to keep your

feet in medically sound condition. Plus, it gets much harder to have the flexibility needed to reach

your own feet, so go ahead and have someone else do it.

Since the feet are vital to mobility, which means independence for seniors, Colleen advises coming to

the clinic every couple of months. She is here 3 times a month and you can make appointments at

the Front Desk. Some financial assistance is available for low income seniors.

Goodwill in Littleton & Streets at Southglenn Mall

Monday , May 20 9:30 AM Pick up bargains at Goodwill first -

time to get some warm weather clothes. Then you can enjoy the

weather and eat lunch (on your own) at Southglenn,

which is an outdoor mall No Activity Fee

While you may not have heard of the comedic play, The Memory of Water, you’ll surely

relate to the theme. Three sisters - a neurotic maternal type, a paranoid doctor and a

brattish youngest sibling - reunite at their mother’s funeral. As they reminisce about their childhoods, their memories, full of humor and

heart and emotion, don’t quite match up.

Nothing like starting out the hiking season before it gets too hot with not one, but two hikes in one day!! We live in a beautiful state and a beautiful area, and it will be great to get back into

the out-of-doors. Phyllis picks itineraries that are close and able to be hiked by Seniors.

Gateway Mesa is a 1.8 mile Chuck’s Loop Trail that connects to the Mitchell Creek Canyon 1.5 mile segment in the Founders

area. The first part of the hike is on a bluff with steep, rock-capped cliffs overlooking the Cherry Creek Valley and the

Rocky Mountains. The second part winds through a narrow riparian canyon in which hikers will travel through four habitats

with a wide variety of wildlife.

Phyllis Tumey (303-921-6062) invites new and veteran hikers to join them. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of

water and a snack, sunscreen and dress for the weather.

Monday, May 6th - leaving at 9:30 Anyone interested in helping with the Senior Center garden should plan on going on this trip to pick out vegetable varieties with a master gardener. When

finished, we will stop at Village Inn in Parker for lunch (on your own). No Activity Fee but please sign

up in advance so we can arrange transportation.

Quilts are truly works of art when you see the more than 500 on

display at this incredible show at the Merchandise Mart. You’ll enjoy the event on your own (tickets are $12

at the door) and be back before 3:00 PM. Be inspired!!

Salute to Seniors in the ballroom of the Colorado Convention Center is the largest annual event for seniors in Colorado. This year’s theme revolves around the old tv shows you loved. They will have themed rooms, stage shows re-enacting your favorite moments, and Jerry Mathers, all grown up from his Beaver Cleaver days, will be a special guest. Plus, there is all-day bingo games, door prizes, giveaways, 100 exhibitors of senior-focused goods and services, and plenty of places to stop for lunch (on your own). You won’t want to miss this special event. Activity Fee includes admission.

Friday, May 10th - 9:00 AM You’ll enjoy brunch at a historic location

before the big mystery event itself!!

Life size models, fossils, and interactive exhibits of these humungous mammals that roamed the ice age are just part of this special exhibit. Lunch will be on your own

in the museum.

Pickleball is the fastest growing senior sport in the U.S. It’s perfect for seniors because it’s played on a small court with

a low net and lightweight wiffle balls, either singles or doubles. Our courts are at Founder’s Park and we expect

to have them see a lot of use this year. If you are interested in finding out if this is something for you, Phyllis Tumey

and Jerry Mackey are having a “Learn to Play Pickleball Clinic” at the park on May 9th. Bring your equipment if you have it, or just come and see if you like it before purchasing

your paddle and balls. Sign up ahead. Maps to the park and game procedures are available at the Center.

Sound became words and words became cave drawings, and

from these came writing. We were then able to get information

and messages and retain stories. We were able to keep ledgers

and record history. Books appeared because of writing.

Our Library has lots of words - in books

of mysteries, romance, spirituality,

cowboys and war. Some are written by

well known authors and some you will

grow to know and love. We have so many

words on our shelves - come have a look.

— Dee Thompson, Librarian

Donate books you’ve already read so that others may enjoy

them, and pick up a new one to read while you do.

The best inheritance you can leave

your children, & future generations,

is not money...it is YOU!!!

RECORD YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY

Leave a legacy for your family

We will video you, and family members if you choose, as you tell the history of YOUR life. yo

You will receive a free DVD or CD, and you can purchase additional copies.

The stories of your life will be interesting to all your future generations - even if you don’t think so. ge

You can bring memorabilia as well as photos if you wish. If you have specific music you would like played in the background, Mike Higgins can add that in.

You can review the recording, deleting portions if desired.

These are scheduled 2 Friday mornings a month. Call the Front Desk to sign up for a slot in the coming months.

Thoughts About Moms in Honor of Mother’s Day

The older I become, the more I think about my mother. -Ingmar Bergman

I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother. -Charles Haddon Spurgeon

My mother was the making of me. She was so true and so sure of me, I felt that I had someone to live for - someone I must not disappoint. The memory of my mother will always be a blessing to me. -Thomas A Edison

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her. -George Washington

All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother. - Abraham Lincoln

We would like to thank Patty Bradley for serving as our

Librarian. She and her husband, Brian, are moving out of

state to be closer to family, and they will both be missed.

We would like to welcome back Dee Thompson who returns

as Librarian. Thank you both for your time and effort.

Raise funds for the Center, get a good deal and shop when you are here anyway! Thanks to Theora for getting it set up.

the Derby.

On the day of the race, June 8, we release all the duckys that have a sponsor, at the same time, into the water at the

starting point on Plum Creek. Then these highly trained duckys RACE like crazy for the finish line.

If your duck, with your ticket number, is the first, second or third to make it to the finish line in Plum Creek ........ you win $2000 for first, $750 for second and $250 for third place. Plus you have a chance to win $1 million or a new car.

Every numbered ticket has a corresponding number affixed to a rubber ducky.

One ticket one ducky!

All of our rubber duckys are in training, right now, for this big annual derby race. Each ducky is anxious to be in the

Derby Race.

Ducky tickets are available at the Center for a $5 donation.
