Montsho & Nwasha Edu, Authors & Teachers“A lively conversation about Kwanzaa & other

holiday celebrations”

Montsho & Nwasha Edu are good friends of Lori Heading, Pennswood’s Communications Manager, and come to us from their home in Trenton where they founded Akoma House Initiative and create programs to strengthen families and teach about African-American history and culture. They are the parents of several young children, lead workshops, and Nwasha Edu is also the author of a book, Akoma Day: Guidebook into the Sacred Science of Soulmating and Cultural Alternative to Valentine’s Day. Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday that runs from December 26 through January 1. It’s represented by seven candles, the black candle representing unity (the first principle), then three red candles representing the principles of self-determination, cooperative economics, and creativity) and three green candles representing responsibility to the community, purpose and faith. The festival includes prayers, family gatherings, a special feast on December 31, and a time of reflection on January 1.

Hansel and Gretel, as we know it, is a cultural collaboration over time, starting with a German medieval folk tale, which the Brothers Grimm included in their 1812 published collection of “fairy tales,” which in 1893 spawned an opera by the Late Romantic German composer Engelbert Humperdinck. On Christmas Day 1931, the Metropolitan Opera featured Hansel and Gretel in its first complete-opera radio broadcast. Our DVD version is the Met’s production that was broadcast on PBS television on Christmas Day 1981. Although associated with Christmas, the opera resonates also with our culture’s Halloween and Thanksgiving. The original opera had 11 scenes in three acts. Today, it is performed in two acts, with the original Acts 1 and 2 linked by an orchestral interlude that originally was the Act 2 prelude. The folk tale and opera weave together many themes: a family struggling with poverty; a preoccupation with hunger, food, and eating; childhood as kids’ play; childhood as preparation for adulthood; parenthood as a struggle to survive and provide, as moral authority with a stick to punish, and as caring protector with a hug to love; nature as a wondrous, mystical alternative environment; nature as a threatening, scary environment of the unknown; the witch as anti-parent, who seduces with sweets and controls with threats, bonds, and magic—which requires children to play adult roles to survive and thrive; God as the ultimate protector and provider. The opera ends happily, but it does not promise to any child a “free ride” growing up—or to any parent trouble-free family life. Mary Wademan, Sunday at the Opera

RESIDENTS' BIOGRAPHYRoger and Edith

Arrived at Pennswood: August 2019 After graduating from Princeton High School in the same class, the Labaws met years later on Nassau Street while Roger was doing telephone work and Edie was buying school supplies at Woolworths. They married in 1968. Roger grew up in Princeton, in a house on an estate owned by Robert Wood Johnson. While in high school, Roger excelled at the industrial arts courses offered there and, after graduation, he started working for New Jersey Bell and later for AT&T, when the Bell system was broken up. He worked for the phone companies for almost 31 years and retired early. During this time, he joined the Coast Guard Reserve unit in Trenton, did basic and advanced training in Cape May, New NJ and Groton, CT and spent two weeks each year at various Coast Guard Stations on the Jersey coast. When Roger was 13, his family moved into a house in Hopewell, New Jersey that his grandfather had built. After they were married, Roger and Edie lived in Hopewell until they came to Pennswood three months ago. Edie was born on a farm in Schildberg, Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, a farm that had been in her family since 1656. The family was dispossessed of their land toward the end of WWII. Going back to the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, her family was German speaking, so when they were expelled from Czechoslovakia after the war they were sent to Germany, where

she attended elementary school. She and her relatives had been sent to the American zone while her father was located by the Red Cross in the British zone and, after some bureaucratic intercessions, they were reunited. While living in the American zone, the family received a C.A.R.E. package, labelled “gift.” Alas, “gift” is the German word for poison, and they did not open the package at first. Luckily, the food inside had pictures on the cans and these they recognized as peaches and other welcome food. Edie came to the US at the age of 14 with her family and after graduating from high school she found full-time work in various offices in Princeton. During that time, she attended night school at Rider College, where she earned an Associates degree in Accounting and later a B.S. and M.A. in Business Education. She taught Business subjects at Hopewell Valley Central High School for 29 years. Roger loves to ski, volunteered with the "Telephone Pioneers" which led him to work with physically-limited adults and travel with them as a caregiver on trips to Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Disneyworld. They have traveled throughout the United States, New Zealand, and most European countries, while also visiting relatives and friends in the Netherlands and Germany. They even visited Edie's hometown after the Berlin Wall came down. They are enjoying their new life at Pennswood.

STAFF AND RESIDENT NOTICESGIFT GIVING REMINDER—

Resident Gifts to StaffA Pennswood Village Policy prohibits all staff and service contractors who work for Pennswood from accepting money or gifts from residents (or families and friends of residents). No staff is permitted to receive a gift from you although we do permit gifts of food or snacks for a whole department or large group of staff, but not directly to specific individuals.

Those associated with Pennswood are knowledgeable of this policy and understand that if you offer a gift or money, they must decline. This is sometimes awkward and difficult for our staff.

I ask that you please remember this policy, not only during the holiday season, but all year long. As a group, we are expected to avoid engaging in any conduct which could create an actual or potential conflict of interest. I appreciate your cooperation and again note the great appreciation that we have for each of you!

WATCH & JEWELRY REPAIRSBy Cheryl & Bill Smith of Newtown Jewelers

Due to Thanksgiving being on a Newtown Jewelry Thursday, Bill and Cheryl will come to Pennswood on Thursday, Dec. 5th and every other Tuesday after that. They are bringing a selection of jewelry for you to look at and do some Christmas shopping. If there is something special you would like to see please contact them at [email protected] and they will try to accommodate you.

Who Are You? Some of us don't remember names as well as we used to. Please wear your name tag all the time. The current recommendation is to wear it all the time. We were recently told that wearing the name tag high on our right shoulder makes it easier for someone with limited eyesight to see it. You know who you are, but how many people can you name without the help of name tags? Please help me as I have a hard time remembering now.

STAFF AND RESIDENT NOTICESAN INVITATION

Members of the Pennswood Birders’ Committee have come up with a project to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of our meadow. We are planning to create a Compendium* in 2020 and we are inviting all residents and staff to join us. Each of us will choose a favorite bird, plant, insect, mammal or reptile which is present in the meadow—either permanently or just passing through. We will research our choice and write it up. Or we will describe an encounter with it. Or we can just say why we like it so much. Also we will take (or find) a color picture of it. We will present the results on an 8.5 X 11 inch piece of paper, leaving a left-hand margin of 1.5 inches for binding. Contributions do not have to be created electronically. A cut-and-paste, scrap-book-style page, with hand-written captions, is fine. Those pages can then be photographed for copying and binding.

*Definition of *Compendium: A collection of concise but detailed information about a particular topic, especially in a book or other publication.

For more information about this project email or put a note in their open mail boxes.

HEALTH CARE messaging looks different today?" As with any computer-based activity, there will be annoyances and glitches. If you've helped an older relative create a Facebook account, you will probably need to provide regular tech support. But your role as their "help desk" can prevent them from being left out of today's digital world.

Seniors and Social Media: The Good and the Bad (Part III)

Social media pitfalls to avoid:

Ground for fraud. Scammers have made their way onto social media sites, selling worthless products and impersonating the IRS or Social Security (see the infographic in this issue of Caring Right at Home to learn more about that). The well-known "grandparent scam" got a new boost once crooks realized they could glean personal information from a family member's Facebook page to impersonate them. Con artists create fake accounts to "befriend" and take advantage of seniors. Unscrupulous contractors peddle their wares on neighborhood groups. Help loved ones select the right privacy settings, and make online safety and security a topic of conversation. Ignoring IRL (in real life) relationships. It's possible to fixate so much on social media connections that they overshadow in-person friend and family interactions. Someone coined the term "phubbing" — short for "phone snubbing" — to describe the familiar sight of people sitting together but ignoring each other as they all check their social media accounts. Fortunately, most studies show that using social media can enhance IRL interactions. And here's one more reminder: Research shows we enjoy experiences more if we live in the moment, rather than focusing on posting a selfie. Technical frustrations. "Why is Facebook doing this? I posted a photo, but it's not showing up! And how come my private

'Tis the Season of Scams (Part II) ONLINE SHOPPING - FAKE WEBSITES

What it is: Scammers launch a copycat website of a well-known retailer, or create a website offering popular, sometimes previously "sold out," merchandise at crazy discounts.How it works: A classic phishing scam - often by email but increasingly through links on social media sites - the email appears to come from a legitimate company and the link sends you to a phony website where you're asked to enter personal information.What to do:• Search the retailer, type in "vendor name

+ scam" and see what comes up.• Type URLs directly into your browser; do

not click on a link from an email or social media site unless you are absolutely sure the message is from the legitimate business.

• On the payment page, look for "https" at the beginning of the address (the "s" stands for "secure").

• Shopping on a new site? Look for a return policy and contact information, including a real address, a toll-free customer service number, and other ways to reach the company if you have a problem.

• Use a credit card (not a debit card) when shopping online for greater protections against possible fraud.

HEALTH CARE GIFT CARDSHow it works: Thieves hit a store gift card rack, secretly write down or electronically scan the numbers off the cards, then check online or call the toll-free number to see if someone has bought the cards and activated them. As soon as a card is active, the scammers drain the funds. By the time you try to use the same card, the money is long gone.What to do:• Only purchase gift cards from reputable

sources. Better yet, get them directly from the store they're from - and preferably directly from the store cashier - and ask them to scan the card to ensure it has the correct balance.

• Carefully examine both sides of the card and look for signs of tampering, such as an exposed PIN. If you find anything questionable, ask for another card and examine that one, too.

• Online gift card purchases should be made directly from the retailer's website. Never buy them on auction sites even if it looks like a great deal; these cards may be stolen or counterfeit.

• Keep your receipt as proof of purchase until the card's value has been exhausted.

• Do not provide your personal information: no reputable business will require you to provide any sensitive information such as your Social Security number if you are trying to buy a gift card.

Holiday Safety TipsIt’s the Holiday Season again! The holidays are a special time for celebration but they should not result in tragedy because of extra hazards that are present this time of the year. As a reminder, live Christmas trees or any type of live holiday greenery are not permitted at Pennswood Village. This applies to all areas of Pennswood, including resident apartments, the Community Building and the Health Center. This is according to the rules and regulations of the Middletown Township Fire Marshal. Please keep this in mind as you are planning your decorations. Also, if you are using a metallic or artificial tree, make sure it is flame-retardant.There are other simple steps we can take to ensure a safe and happy holiday. By following these basic tips, we can greatly reduce the chances of a holiday fire heartbreak:

• When decorating, always use safe lights. Some lights are designed only for indoor or outdoor use and need to be used accordingly. Inspect all lights for worn, frayed, broken cords or loose bulb connections.

• Always unplug holiday lights before leaving home or going to sleep.

• Don’t overload electrical outlets. Do not link more than three light strands

together at a time. Use power strips with surge protectors instead of extension cords

• Decorations are often made of light paper or cardboard and can burn easily. All decorations should be nonflammable or flame-retardant and placed away from heat vents or other heat sources. Keep all decorations away from candles.

• Candles are used more during the holidays and can be dangerous. If you must use candles, make sure they are in stable holders and place them where they cannot be easily knocked over. Never leave the house or go to sleep with candles burning.

• Be alert and cautious when driving. People travel more during the holiday season.

• The holiday season should be a joyous time of year but statistics show it can also be a dangerous one. As temperatures fall and visions of sugarplums dance in the heads of many, it is crucial not to take a “holiday” from safety. Have a happy and safe holiday season!

On our new fire alarm system, Fire Doors will only automatically close in smoke-affected areas. During drills, the fire doors will NOT drop because there is no smoke. This is to help promote a clear means of egress.

Fire Doors can be identified by a placard on the hinged side of the door. Please remember to always evacuate to the other side of the fire doors away from the emergency.
