ON THE PINECONE COVER

March – in January it seemed so far away, but in February it appeared to be so very near and now here it is. A month filled with the excitement of spring and all the wonders of nature that spring brings. A walk around our manicured campus reveals signs of spring in every courtyard and along the nature trail en-circling the lake.

Thursday March 19, 2020 is the first official day of spring. What a great way to move into the month following the “wearing of the green” on St Patrick Day. Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow last month, so we can be assured that warm weather will be here in March. That is of course if you believe that a groundhog can predict the weather.

Beginning in March some of you may be re-thinking your New Year resolutions – how-

Good thing we had an extra day in February to round up all the activities we had last month. Superbowl, Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras, just to name a few. March will not slow down, however, and with the nicer weather, we have many opportunities to get some fresh air.

The Kirby Pines Travelers will be heading to Calvary Church for their Lenten Luncheon on the 4th and checking out the Edge Motor Museum on the 25th. The Southern Women's Show is on the 6th at the Agri-Center and the Lunch Bunch will head to midtown for Irish fare at Celtic Crossing on the 18th.

If you're still not able to shake the chill, but are ready for spring, join us by cleaning up and getting rid of your clutter at our Spring Rummage Sale on the 12th. We will also celebrate our Vietnam War Veteran's on the 26th with a special breakfast in their honor.

welcome to

3535 Kirby Road • Memphis, TN 38115

Donald and Ann Wiseman are both from Memphis, Tennessee and move to Kirby Pines from their home in Germantown. They have proudly been married 58 years, with two children and five grandchildren.

Donald graduated in 1961 with a Bachelors Degree in Accounting from Mississippi State. He became Operations Manager for Langston Companies, a local packaging manufacturer. He also served in the US Army with the rank of 1st Lieutenant, stationed in Fort Polk, Louisiana.

Ann got her degree in Business Education from the Mississippi State College for Women in 1961, as well. She spent her career as the Administrative Assistant to the Headmaster at a private school.

Donald enjoys sports, especially the Miss State Bulldogs, and Ann enjoys reading. They both like to travel and have been around the US and Europe, including some favorite cruises. Ann also collects antiques and Donald likes to walk for exercise.

Friends describe Donald as dependable while they say Ann is sweet. Sounds like a perfect combination. We hope they have settled in nicely and gotten to know the lay of the land at Kirby Pines. If you happen to see the Wisemans, make sure you say hello!

They are both very proud of their family, and according to Patricia, she stays active through family, friends and church. Charles says he remains active simply following Pat around.

We are delighted the Brands have chosen Kirby Pines for their home. They seem a perfect fit for our community, so please welcome them with open arms and a big Kirby smile!

What’s not to like about walking? It’s free. It’s easy to do, and it’s easy on the joints. And there’s no question that walking is good for you. Walking is an aerobic exercise; a University of Tennessee study found that women who walked had less body fat than those who didn’t walk. It also lowers the risk of blood clots, since the calf acts as a venous pump, reducing the load on the heart. Walking is good for you in other ways as well.

1. Walking improves circulation. It also wards off heart disease, brings up the heart rate, lowers blood pressure and strengthens the heart. Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Tennessee found that post-menopausal women who walked just one to two miles a day lowered blood pressure by nearly 11 points in 24 weeks. Women who walked 30 minutes a day reduced their risk of stroke by 20 percent.

2. Walking shores up your bones. It can stop the loss of bone mass for those with osteoporosis, according to Michael A. Schwartz, MD, of Plancher Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in New York. In fact, a study of post-menopausal women found that 30 minutes of walking each day reduced their risk of hip fractures by 40 percent.

3. Walking lightens mood. A California State University study showed that the more steps people took during the day, the better their moods were. Why? Walking releases natural painkilling endorphins to the body – one of the emotional benefits of exercise.

WALK WITH EASE BEGINS MARCH 17TH!If you are looking for an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of walking but need some help to get started, join Walk with Ease. Our first class is March 17th meeting twice a week for 8 weeks. The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1:30 pm in the Arts & Crafts Room. We limit the class size to 15. If you can walk for 10 minutes and desire an enjoyable way to exercise, this class may be for you. Check with Brian in the Life Enhancement office or Mary (369-7334) in the Oasis. Walk Across Canada News: By the time of this printing we should be in Newfoundland over 2500 miles or 5 million steps with more than 50 participants walking, biking, and Nu-Stepping from Vancouver, British Columbia, past Calgary, Winnipeg, and Quebec. We are waiting to see who wins our grand prize.

4. Walking can lead to weight loss. A brisk 30-minute walk burns 200 calories. Over time, calories burned can lead to pounds dropped.

5. Walking strengthens muscles. It tones your leg and abdominal muscles – and even arm muscles if you pump them as you walk. This increases your range of motion, shifting the pressure and weight from your joints and muscles – which are meant to handle weight – helping to lessen arthritis pain.6. Walking improves sleep. A study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle found that women, ages 50 to 75, who took one-hour morning walks, were more likely to relieve insomnia than women who didn’t walk.

7. Walking supports your joints. The majority of joint cartilage has no direct blood supply. It gets its nutrition from synovial or joint fluid that circulates as we move. Impact that comes from movement or compression, such as walking, “squishes” the cartilage, bringing oxygen and nutrients into the area. If you don’t walk, joints are deprived of life-giving fluid, which can speed deterioration.

8. Walking improves your breath. When walking, your breathing rate increases, causing oxygen to travel faster through bloodstream, helping to eliminate waste products and improve your energy level and the ability to heal.

9. Walking slows mental decline. A study of 6,000 women, ages 65 and older, performed by researchers at the University of California, found that age-related memory decline was lower in those who walked more. The women walking 2.5 miles per day had a 17-percent decline in memory, as opposed to a 25-percent decline in women who walked less than a half-mile per week.

10. Walking helps you do more, longer. Aerobic walking and resistance exercise programs may reduce the incidence of disability in the activities of daily living of people who are older than 65 and have symptomatic OA, shows a study published in the Journal of Clinical Outcomes Management.

Walking is easy to do and offers many benefits:

SLEEPING?How Are You

Please join us March 18th at 1:30 pmin the PAC for our Smart Moves

presentation on Sleep Awareness.

An average of 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep each night is considered healthy for most adults. Seniors are often unable to sleep this much due to a variety of sleep-related problems. During sleep awareness month, learn what can be done to help seniors establish healthy sleep patterns.

How Aging Affects SleepUnfortunately, changes in sleep patterns are a normal part of aging. Many seniors have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. In some cases, the challenge is due to a sleeping disorder or the side effect of a medication. However, sleep disturbance in the aging is often just the result of reduced REM sleep. In other words, seniors tend to be lighter sleepers. They wake up more often due to noise, aches, movement, the need to use the bathroom, etc.

Common Sleep Illnesses Seniors FaceFor those seniors whose difficulties with sleep result from medical conditions, it is important to receive medical treatment. Encourage sleep-deprived seniors to see the doctor if they experience:

1. Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome2. Sleep Apnea3. Restless Leg Syndrome4. Insomnia5. Sleep-related side effects of medication6. Sleep-related side effects of underlying diseases

Issues like these are often addressed through lifestyle changes or medications. Seniors can consult with their doctor to learn about the best treatment options for their particular problem.

Sleep Awareness Tips for the AgingThese simple tips will help you or the Senior you love make the most out of their sleep routine.

1. Be MindfulStress, worry, and negative thought patterns can disrupt sleep—even if seniors try to “think positively” right before bed. Since sleep deprivation affects mental health and vice versa, it is important to encourage seniors to develop a healthy response to stress at all hours.

2. Exercise RegularlyPhysical activity can help the body sleep. Regular exercise also offers health benefits that positively impact sleep, like lower blood pressure, stress relief, and improved breathing.

3. Form a Bedtime RoutineMany habits can influence sleep for better or for worse. Lying in bed during the day can disrupt sleep patterns. Watching television or screen time on the phone at night can also delay sleep. Encourage seniors to establish a bedtime routine that includes doing something quiet and relaxing for an hour.

4. Eat and Drink for Better SleepSometimes seniors drink alcohol before bed because it makes them sleepy. However, alcohol tends to wake people up in the middle of the night and reduce REM sleep cycles. Food does the same. Seniors should avoid eating food or drinking alcohol for 2-3 hours before bedtime.

The Pinecone | March 2020 • 7 •

While attending Christian Brothers High School, Pat worked part-time at Goldsmiths Department Store. Following graduation, he joined the Air Force and was stationed in Anchorage, Alaska for 5 years and served as a Crypto Maintenance mechanic. He loved living in Alaska, but because of expensive living conditions, made the decision to move back to Memphis following discharge. He became employed by the Federal Electric Corp. and was sent to Vietnam as a civilian. After the war ended, Pat returned to Goldsmiths and became the Workroom Manager for draperies and upholstery. “Yes, I can operate a sewing machine and ‘spit tacks’ ”, states Pat. He parted ways with Goldsmiths when they wanted to transfer him to Atlanta. Instead, Pat became the owner of a fabric business, Fabric Junction (now Johnson’s Fabrics) in Bartlett. As the sole proprietor, the work was too difficult, so, he closed the shop and “moved to wood”. He managed the Cabinet and Counter Top Shop for Interstate Plywood for 17 year. Pat says, “I love being creative and have always enjoyed working with my hands”.

One of the most important aspects of Pat’s life revolves around the Boy Scouts of America. Soon after going to Alaska with the Air Force, he became acquainted with the Scoutmaster of the Air Force based Boy Scout Troop who invited him to go camping. Little did Pat realize it would involve “fifteen screaming kids”. Nevertheless, he was hooked. Pat has been actively registered with the BSA for 54 YEARS! During that time, he was Scoutmaster of Troop #341 sponsored by St. Louis Church for 16 years. He continues to be active as the Troop Committee Chairperson, a position he has held for the past 30 years. Pat really enjoys camping and goes at every opportunity, except when it is “too cold”.

In 2009, Pat’s mother, Myrtle, began having serious health problems. Pat, an only child, was his mother’s caregiver. Learning of Kirby Pines Lifecare Plan, Pat and his mother moved to Kirby Pines in 2013. Myrtle passed away in 2016. Pat was able to care for her and she remained in their apartment until the end. “Nevertheless, I was very pleased with the medical care here at Kirby and the feeling of safety”, says Pat.

Since Pat “quit work”, he has been very involved in volunteer work at Kirby. He served as Wing Leader for two years and is currently serving as a member of the very active Resident’s Food Committee. The Food Committee is comprised of residents as well as Administrative and Dietary Heads. One resident serves as Chairman and represents the Food Committee on the Advisory Committee. Their role is to exchange information provided by residents concerning the food service at Kirby Pines. Meetings are held once a month. Pat says, “There is no shortage of comments. While we do get some negative feedback, the majority of comments are positive”.

Pat has endeared himself to those who get to know him. His smiling face makes him very approachable. His sense of humor and ready wit are his hallmarks.

Pat believes he will leave a good legacy through his work and volunteer activities. To quote him: “Looking back it has been a great life for an Irish kid born in South Chicago”. He wishes an Irish Blessing and a Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of you!

Each year on March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day is recognized as a day to remember those Americans who are of Irish descent. Irish ancestry has proven to be one of the strongest, most determined and resilient known. Because of these characteristics, Ireland survived the Great Potato Famine which lasted from 1845-1849. This famine, known as the greatest to ever occur in Europe, resulted in the death of 1/8th of the population of Ireland. Another 2-3 million immigrated to the United States where life was almost equally as difficult. Despite many odds, the Irish people survived many hardships both in Ireland and America.

Kirby Pines resident, Patrick (Pat) William Kelly could not be more representative of an Irish heritage. He not only has the name and looks of his ancestry but his life story would indicate he has those characteristics mentioned above. Surprisingly, however Pat is also one-half German. Nevertheless, he has a good Irish story. His maternal grandparents immigrated from Germany due to the political climate; his paternal grandparents immigrated as a result of the potato famine. Both families settled in South Chicago where Pat’s parents met. Pat was born in the Chicago-Lying-In Hospital in January of 1943.

Pat’s father was a traveling steel salesman which resulted in frequent family moves. Pat believes that the experience of living in so many different cities and towns resulted in a very interesting childhood. He particularly remembers living in a small town with the population of only 300 people where “everyone knew everyone’s business”. Finally, the family moved to Memphis in 1956.

This unique “Parable” applies to more than the situations mentioned. It is all too descriptive of a much larger portion of our life today. Too often we are like the characters in the parable. Our priorities are messed up and we live with feelings we’ve set to an ultra-sensitive level. All too easily we ignore responsibility, shun accountability and rely on others to do the job.

It’s been said there are two kinds of people in the world today: (1) those who are willing to work, and (2) those who are willing to let them. It’s reflected in the 20-80 rule. 20% of the people do all of the work and make 80% of all the sales. Which group will master us?

Can we continue leaving the job to “Nobody.” Dare we any longer stay idle in facing the almost insurmountable obstacles at every level of our culture? Can we continue to leave the future in the hands of leaderless government? Can we allow the rich heritage and foundation of our great country to continue to crumble? Can we remain silent while corruption and crime steal precious values from us? Can we continue to live without vision, still unaware we are rushing toward another Noahic Flood? Can we carelessly close our eyes to the needs of so many around us, especially in their personal relation to God, or lack of it?

Today would be a great time to break the cycle.

Let’s stop being “Somebody, Everybody and Anybody.”

Let’s step up to today’s responsibility.

Let’s strongly embrace this moment’s opportunity.

I Corinthians 15:58 gives us great insight: “Therefore…be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

Remember, “if not you, who? If not this, what? If not now, when?” If not here, where?
