Driving Safely Series Reaches the Finish Line - Kendal

Driving Safely Series Reaches
the Finish Line
This is the eighth and last in a series of articles on
driving safely as you age, drawn from a booklet
written by Fletcher “Fletch” Platt, a former Kendal
resident who had been director of automotive safety
for Ford Motor Company. Last month’s article was
on the importance of listening to your doctor. This
month it is a wrap-up of the whole seven-part series.
Starting with the October 2014 issue, The Reporter has published a series of seven monthly articles
on driver safety, focused on the many ways in which
your driving can be affected by the changes in your
mind and body that occur as you age, especially after the age of 80. This, the last in the series, reprises
the key lessons. So, class, let’s review.
In the first article, we reminded you that it is your
mental and physical condition that is key, not just
your age and driving experience. A good habit to
develop is to ask yourself each day whether you
should be driving. Sometimes this will be a singleday decision—I have a bad headache, you will
think, or runny eyes and continuous sneezing from
allergies, or you woke up with a stiff neck. All of
these could compromise your safety on the road and
form the basis for a temporary decision not to drive.
Fletch’s booklet noted a surprising statistic, covered in our second article. The learning curve for
drivers is 30 years long, based on accidents per mile
driven. Looking at those curves, 80-year old drivers
have the same accident rate as those in their twenties, although it rises as age increases.
In December, the third article was about the effect
of vision on dr iver safety. Not just the static vision measured at the Motor Vehicle Department has
to be considered, but dynamic vision as well, which
is the ability to detect moving objects. Peripheral

vision is also a factor, as it detects the placement of
other cars on each side of you, in those so-called
blind spots. It’s important, therefore, to
visit your eye doctor each year and review any changes you may have observed
in any form of vision.
The fourth article discussed the importance of memory, a factor you may
not have considered. Loss of short-term
memory, for example, may well inhibit
your ability to remember the placement of cars
around you, potentially a recipe for an accident.
Stress, emotions and fatigue also play a r ole as
we reminded you in the fifth article, even if they
don’t degenerate into actual “road rage.”
Number six taught how to compensate for the effects of aging on your driving ability. Experts counsel you to reduce your risk by driving more slowly.
Take the safest route to your destination (even if it
takes a little longer), don’t drive at night and drive
fewer miles on fewer days.
Finally, in the seventh article, we urged you to
listen to those who ar e watching you: your children, your doctors, your pharmacist, your friends
may well see things you don’t. Listening to good
advice even when it tells you something you don’t
want to hear is a challenge we all face.
Look in the mirror each day and ask yourself honestly, “ How am I doing—really? Is it safe for me to
drive today, or at all? Is it time to hang up my
keys?”
Next month, we’ll have a quiz!

The Dog Park Comes
Closer to Fruition
An inquisitive little dachshund with soulful eyes
looked up at her mistress at the end of the April KRA
meeting and asked, “What is ‘approval in princple’?”
The reason for her question: that’s
what the Board had just accorded the
proposal for a dog park at Kendal.
There may be more than a few human
residents who wonder the same!
What it means is that the dog park got
the go-ahead, but with a number of key details still to
be worked out. That process is now in the hands of
COO Meg Lemley and Tom Paxson, current president of KRA.
There are a number of issues to be resolved:
Who pays for what?
Who’s responsible for cleanup?
Who can use the park?
Who will mow the grass?
What kind of fence will be installed?
And many other queries, most of which had been addressed by the dog park committee in its proposed
guidelines, and discussed at an earlier residents meeting on the dog park question. There, a presentation
by Lark Worth and Judy Wellington, co-chairs of the
committee, elicited questions residents have and
whether there is a community of support at Kendal.
The answer to that was “Yes,” again with details
to be finalized. That meeting included a representative from Crosslands, where they are also considering
a dog park but have been unable to come up with an
appropriate location. She said they had approximately 15 dogs there, while Kendal’s informal count is
quite a bit higher at 25-30.
A number of residents made very positive comments. “A great idea.” “Fun for
people as well as dogs.” “A great
way to get to know people.” Poet
Mary Oliver, (not a resident) may
have said it best in her book, Dog
Songs, writing, “[The story] is about
the wonderful things that may happen if you break
the ropes that are holding you.” That’s true of humans as well. Kendal knew this when we first led a
national effort to “Untie the elderly.”
Now it’s time to do so for dogs, as the park for
them to run in, free and untied, becomes reality.

Keeping It Hot, Kendal Style
The new food line in the coffee shop has been
open for a couple of weeks and is working well. One
problem that remains is that your food may be cold
by the time you’re ready to eat it. A solution is using
the coffee shop as you do in the main dining room:
get your soup and salad first, then come back and get
your dinner while we are keeping it HOT. There are
now more plate warmers so this will also help.
The enemy of a hot dinner is having a tray and getting all your food at once. By the
time you get your silverware, check
out at the register, find a table, chat
with friends, and eat your soup or
salad, your dinner is cold. Don’t use
a tray! Carry your salad or soup to
the table, then return for the main
course. (If you would like waited service, you don't
have to "need it" —the coffee shop staff are there to
do this for you. )
If you choose to use a tray we have metal plate covers to help keep food hot, but they don’t guarantee
the best results. I also recommend getting your drink
last, since this is often the first to spill while navigating around the food line or salad bar.

This is the huge pit in front of the Longwood Gardens
conservatory where normally there are lawns and fountains. The refurbishment project will not be complete for
another two years, in the spring of 2017. Artisans and engineers from around the globe have been engaged to insure that only the very best result is achieved, following
the original plans as closely as possible.

KRA Budget Review Is
Open to All
The KRA Budget and Finance Committee will offer two opportunities for residents to view the proposed 2015-16 KRA budget. The presentations will
be held in the Auditorium at 2 p.m. on Thursday,
May 20 and again on Friday, May 28 at 2
p.m. Committee members will be glad to hear comments from interested residents. Budget recommendations for the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2015
will be presented to the KRA Board at their regular
meeting on Monday, June 8.

John Hancock signed his name in
extra-large letters on the Declaration of Independence not out of
self-esteem but so that King George III, notoriously poor-sighted, could read it without
the aid of spectacles.
What Can We Learn
from Billy Budd?
When is it not right to do the “right”
thing? On April 20 Kendal resident Walt
Herbert reflected on this conundrum with
a talk about Herman Melville’s character
Billy Budd, examining “Melville and the Meaning of
Civilization,” no simple subject!
Melville’s Billy Budd was a popular young man,
kind and helpful and well-liked by fellow sailors. He
was known as The Peacemaker because of his refusal
to engage in pointless confrontation. However, when
unjustly accused by a heartily disliked officer of fomenting mutiny, he struck out and accidentally killed
his accuser.
Naval rules required that Budd be executed. But
he was a positive influence—and he was innocent of
the charge—where the other man had been nothing
but negative. Was it right to punish Budd so severely? That was the law, but wasn’t there a moral principle to be considered as well? The captain had to
make a difficult decision. He stuck to naval law in
the end, and Budd was executed.
There was much food for thought in this presentation, with its dilemmas still encountered today.

Book Review
Celebrating Ten Years
of Wellness
H Is For Hawk
by Helen Macdonald
This is an unusual nonfiction blend
of three characters: author Helen
Macdonald, the long dead writer T.
H. White of "The Sword in the Stone"
fame, and the hawk itself.
A New York Times best seller, winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize and a subtle memoir as well, the
book draws in the reader from the first paragraph.
Shattered by the sudden death of her beloved father, Macdonald felt that she had “lived too long in
libraries and college rooms,” and, seeking a distracting purpose to subdue her grief, she decides to train a
goshawk, one of nature’s fiercest birds, which is
“bulkier, bloodier, deadlier, scarier and much, much
harder to see” than any other.
Fascinated since childhood by “The Goshawk,”
written by T.H. White, she has already become a
skilled falconer. She buys a young, untrained hawk
and carries out the long, arduous step-by-step training
of this amazingly fierce creature. She writes, “The
hawk was everything I wanted to be: solitary, selfpossessed, free from grief and numb to the hurts of
human life.”
After the difficult years of training—a very interesting process in itself—and close contact with the
fierce bird, she realizes that she herself has become
too much like a hawk, and that both must return to
their own worlds.

Kendal’s Wellness Center celebrated ten years of
activities on April 13-17 this year.
A bulletin board identified W ho’s Who in the
Wellness Center by posting photos of its staff with
pictures of their pets. We tried to
guess which person went with
which animal. Pictured were:
Kilee, Melanie, Suzanne, Elizabeth Kautz, Anne Marie, Christina, Ben and Brenda. Together
they make the classes possible,
lead them, help our hurts and keep the wellness center tidy!.
In the main hallway, colorful paper footsteps
tracked along the walls and became the Wellness
Center time line.
April 2005: Wellness Center opens
2006: First resident vs staff water volleyball
game. The residents win!
2007: Pool hours increased because of demand.
2008: Staff exercise classes begin.
2009: Residents, staff and management walk
over 24,000 miles in summer incentive.
2010: Five years, and still going strong.
2011: Fit/Weigh introduced. 37 residents and
staff lost over 175 lbs and 30 plus inches.
2012: Over 17,000 visits to the Center.
2013: 100 Mile Swim introduced. To date, ten
people have completed the challenge, with
some attaining even more miles.
2014: 99% resident satisfaction with activities.
2015: 10 years old and still going strong!
Activities Week featured daily events including
water volleyball, visits to the rehab suite, balance
class, swim or splash in the water, and swing baseball in the pool. In each case, goodies followed!
The Ten for Ten challenge urged residents to sign
up and do the ten challenging activities, score them
as directed, then return the score card for Suzanne to
determine the winner.
On the final Friday there was a general celebration in the all-purpose room.
Now—on to the next ten years!

Armchair Travel:
“The Colors of Morocco”
The Colors of Morocco, a travelogue by Pat and
Dave Redmond, brought us an interesting program
on April 18, with Pat providing the narration for
their two week bus trip. Many photos had to be taken
out of the bus window as they drove, but they were
all most picturesque. They found Morocco to be a
place of contrasts: a varied landscape, and brilliant
colors, especially red and Moroccan blue.
Tabat had a Medina, an old walled city. The palace was elegant on the exterior, but
visitors were not allowed in. Luckily
the mosque was available to tourists;
it was elegant with an elaborate interior covered with intricately detailed
tiles, and the guards were friendly.
Here they encountered for the first
time the custom of tea-pouring from a
great height, a ceremony which they
enjoyed in all the cities in Morocco.
Many photos of the crowded outside market were
colorful and showed the old fashioned way of selling
goods. In Meknes, another walled city, every inch
of the mausoleum was decorated with intricate tile
work inside and outside. It was a rolling countryside
with mountains in the distance.
In Fez, a city with a large cemetery in the center,
the markets were most interesting. There were tiny
little keyhole shops with all hardware in one, materials in another, foods in another. Goods were transported down alleyways on donkeyback. Bags of
wool were piled into one yard and used to make the
beautiful Moroccan carpets. Leather work was in
another section: liquid dyes and other chemicals
were in large vats used to treat leather goods. Arabic
script was carved into the marble in many places.
At one place, they stayed in a luxurious hotel
which was decorated in stained glass and embellished with silver, and had pools and fountains. The
“cave house” that they visited was literally a house
underground, useful to control temperatures: cool in
summer and warm in winter.
They enjoyed side trips by camels into the desert,
where they saw deteriorating mud brick villages.
And then also to the mountains where there were
500 ft walls on both sides of the track. A small village was perched on a nearby hill. It was not in good
shape, so it was not lived in, but only used for the
movies, etc.
May 2015
Marrakech was a city of gardens, a mosque and
colorful markets with fabrics, produce, and baskets of
herbs, inlaid wood work, and even a camel parking
lot! A large main square was a market in the daytime, but an entertainment center at night.
Finally they arrived in Casablanca, where the
buildings were more modern and some were art deco
in style. There they got to enter a huge mosque,
which is open to non-Muslims. It took $585 million
to build it! The intricate, colorful tile work and marble carvings cover walls, floors, pillars and pedestals.
It was most spectacular! Then we were treated to a
photo of “Rick’s Café”. One can’t visit Casablanca
without it!

Cultural Diversity:
The View from India
On April 6, Professor of Anthropology Sarah
Lamb presented “Welcoming Diversity: Reflections
from A Cultural Anthropologist.” Having spent extended periods of time living in India with her two
young daughters, much of what she observed had to
do with those customs. She identified ethnocentrism
as the belief that one’s own ways are correct, best,
and right, while those of others are alien, confusing,
repugnant and inferior, which helps to explain why
we are cautious about accepting other lifestyles into
our own comfortable routines.
In Indian culture death is not feared, it is a common footnote to daily conversation. “I’ll see you
next week, unless I die before then.” No big deal. In
our society, we don’t even like to use the word die.
We hem and haw and talk about how someone
“passed away,” or simply “passed.”
Almost no one in India lives in a single-person
household; bedrooms are shared with two or three
others, hospital rooms are shared, no one expects total privacy, whereas here we are almost obsessed
with privacy of every kind.
A positive activity in parts of India is “laughter
yoga,” in which ritualized movements are punctuated
by bursts of laughter, designed for “peer-oriented
active senior citizens.” A photo depicted a group of
men and sari-clad women in a tree-filled courtyard
waving their arms and laughing merrily. They are
surely aging successfully!

borne the brunt of policies that threaten the civil and
human rights of immigrants and border community
members. As Congress continues to debate legislation for immigration policies, Pedro’s presentation
will discuss the need to uphold the basic dignity of
people most likely to be affected by adverse policies.
Pedro Rios is acting chairperson for the San Diego Immigrant Rights consortium of over 25 organizations working to support the rights of immigrants.
He has worked on immigration issues since the early
1990s when California was considering Proposition
187, the anti-immigrant initiative that was later ruled
unconstitutional. He oversees a program that documents abuses by law enforcement agencies as he interacts closely with migrant communities.

Documentary: “How To Die In Oregon”
This informative film shows actual cases of how
people can end their life with dignity when they are
ready. Oregon is one of four states that has legalized
physician-assisted suicide (the other three are Vermont, Washington and Montana). Pennsylvania has
no such law but legislation is scheduled to be introduced, as sentiment for Death with Dignity is growing around the country.

Gabrielle and Ernie Kimmel will share their photos
and observations from a trip to Russia in September
2014, traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg. We
in the U.S. hear so many conflicting stories about the
largest country in the world—a source of brilliant
music and dance, a governing regime that does not
tolerate opposition, a people who seek to build a democracy, the source of much of the world’s energy,
and so on. What is it really like?
May 2015
Architecture, the theme of the Kendal Photographers presentation on April 9, was full of interesting
shapes, geometric designs, and in some cases history.
Many of the members contrasted plain and simple
building designs with modern or ornate buildings. Frank Czeiner
showed the Toronto City Hall with
two curved towers and a round
structure between them, which
looked like a giant, unblinking eye when viewed from
above. That was contrasted with an old Quaker meeting house and a cabin in Appalachia.
Although Judi Paxson said she likes plain buildings, she showed several intricate shots: a monastery
tucked into the side of a rock mountain which had no
roadway leading to it, and the Mall in Milan with a
glass roof, mural walls and fancy stone work.
The most startling architecture was Antoni Gaudi’s
Sagrada Familia, an unfinished cathedral in Barcelona
which became a symbol. It had a bright, light interior.
Jim Curtis provided an informative overview of Barcelona architecture.
Ann Jarrett showed us the Opera House in Sydney,
Australia which has a special, dynamic roof shape
made with special tiles that took at least 11 years to
complete. The architect ran into constant problems,
finally leaving Australia with the building unfinished.
Marjean Willett tickled our imagination with her
photos, especially the one of reflected architecture
looking through windows and including the reflections in the picture.
Dave Redmond started with Paris cathedrals and
the Eiffel Tower, then took us to Rome, Morocco, and
finally the United States for a photo of a church in
Taos, New Mexico, pink stucco against a blue sky.
Judy Czeiner had some interesting patterns: some
were in glass, but the stone work of the Farmers Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. was most interesting, and
a glass building in Boston with reflected clouds was
an artistic photo.
Sarah Zimmerman focused on local architecture,
such as the little red (former) library in Delaware built
by Frank Furness, contrasted with the impressive
staircase at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
Finally, Bob W arner shared photos of the solar
home that he and his wife had built in Illinois. He explained the details and showed photos of both the exterior and interior.

Who’s Here
Priscilla Ioele is not a newcomer at Kendal. In fact, she
has been at home here since
2012! It’s hard to miss her engaging smile as you stand in
line with her in the coffee shop
or when she waits on you at the
Gateway Shop. She has been a
faithful volunteer there since
she arrived.
A native Pennsylvanian, Priscilla spent her early
years in mid state until she moved to Wilmington to
attend Goldey Beacon College. She worked at
DuPont until she and her husband, who was employed by CitiBank, moved to northern New Jersey
to be closer to his work. North Bergen and Saddle
Brook were where they raised their children, a son
and a daughter. They remained there until her husband retired, and then chose to move “slightly west”
to the more rural community of Phillipsburg. There,
Priscilla dusted off her clerical skills and volunteered in the medical records department and in the
gift shop at St. Luke’s Warren Hospital.
Another move became necessary when her husband died, and Priscilla began looking for a retirement community. Kendal was not an unknown living option for her. Her mother had lived in Kendal
at Ithaca and her sister lives there now, but Priscilla
wanted to be closer to her son and granddaughters
who live in Chadds Ford, and her daughter and two
grandsons in New Jersey. The distance to Ithaca
would have made family gatherings somewhat difficult, and so Kendal at Longwood proved to be a
good choice.
Belatedly, we welcome Priscilla to Kendal and
are pleased that she chose to live here.

Choices at the End of Life :
“Being Mortal”
What generosity! Peggy Brick and other members
of her committee have given us the helpful and valuable series, “Choices at the End of Life,” and it’s not
over yet. A recent workshop was based on Atul
Gawande’s Being Mortal.
Gawande writes for “The New Yorker,” from
which I quote: “He is also a surgeon at Brigham and
Women’s Hospital, in Boston, and a professor in the
department of health policy and management at Harvard School of Public Health and in the department
of surgery at Harvard Medical School. He is the executive director of Ariadne Labs, a joint center for
health-systems innovation, and the chairman of Lifebox, a nonprofit organization making surgery safer
globally.”
Thank you, Merritt Cleaver and Bryce Templeton,
for facilitating the discussion of the documentary.
Merritt told us that Gawande has changed the emphasis, which has tended toward prolonging life, to improving the quality of life. Bryce told us that
Gawande had taken a leave during medical school to
volunteer in a political campaign and that Gawande
has written about the value of a checklist for surgeons. He has said that the idea came from pilots
who use a checklist before flights.

Safe Driving Tip From the Residents Safety Committee
When you are approaching Kendal from Longwood/Rte. 52 direction, don’t slow down before
you reach the turn lane—it is long enough for speed reduction prior to the turn. You risk being
rear-ended if you slow too soon in the fast lane. Remember your turn signal, of course.
