PANORAMA REPUBLICANS

Lenny Greenstein, Council member for the City of Lacey, will be Panorama Republicans’ guest speaker for the September 6 meeting. Lenny is completing his

second term for Position #2 and running for reelection this November. He will provide a State of the City

review to include:

• Major achievements since 2016• How Lacey compares to other Washington cities

of similar size• Current budget status• Local encampments• Success of the Transportation Benefit District tax

for improving roads• 1894 Woodland Train Station replica• Future plans

Originally called Woodland, Lacey was officially incorporated in 1966 as a commuter town for Olympia and Fort Lewis (now JBLM). With a current population over 50,000, Lacey is one of the fastest growing municipal areas as well as one of the most densely populated per square mile in Washington state. It was the 12th city to be designated an official Green Power Community by the US Environmental Protection Agency for its use of renewable energy sources, which means at least 5% of its total energy use comes from green power sources. The local economic base is rapidly changing from mainly retail and real estate to one of technology, health care, research and development, and start-up companies.

Please join us on Friday, September 6 at 2:00pm in the Quinault Auditorium, with refreshments following the one-hour meeting.

Betty Dodds, Chair

Yes, we are looking for a few good residents to take a shift as a ca$hier either at the Stiles-Beach Barn or at Encore. Learn a new skill, meet new neighbors, chat with the customers, get a leg-up on the best bargains and get the latest gossip.

No experience needed – we will train you! Choose your shifts - a single day, a week, a month or whatever fits your schedule.

LOOKING BACK AT PANORAMA

The Dennis D. Dun-ham Aquatic and Fitness Center is named after Dennis Dunham, the long-time financial offi-cer at Panorama. Dunham had the task of monitoring Panorama’s financ-es, a sometimes

challenging task in our community’s early years. He also served as acting president during a period of transition.

PSST: Be sure to keep your calendars free for the afternoon of October 3! Details to come in the October Panorama News.

Resident Council

End of Fiscal YearSeptember marks the end of the Council fiscal year, which means that the terms of the President and Vice President end on August 30, along with District Representatives who have served their three-year terms. President Jerry Gjovaag and Vice President Judy Murphy have been reelected to an additional one-year term. District Representatives who are completing or retiring from their terms are Rich Cobb (1B), DeFrance Clark (2B), Dennis Risdon (3C), Kathy Kidwell (3A), Rosalie Melnick (4A), Jan Reinhardtsen (4B), and Beverly Hilts (7B). Rich, DeFrance, Dennis, and Rosalie will continue for a second three-year term. JoAnn McVeigh will replace Kathy Kidwell in 3A. Jeanne Thompson will replace Jan Reinhardtsen in 4B. Carolyn Odio will replace Beverly Hilts in 7B. Please join me in welcoming these new members of the Resident Council.

Security CamerasA number of residents have expressed an interest in security cameras. Bob Anderson in Holladay Park has researched and installed cameras in his home. Here is a write-up of Bob’s experience.

Wyze Cam v2 security cameras are owned by several Panorama residents. This camera is available from Wyze.com and local Home Depot stores. Offering an array of features, the Wyze Cam v2 is the least expensive of the many such cameras available that he is aware of.

The camera alerts you whenever it detects sound or motion and provides free cloud storage for two weeks of events. The Wyze Cam v2 must be powered; that is, it does not have a battery. It is designed for indoor use but works perfectly outdoors if mounted under the eaves. Mounted indoors, the camera produces excellent videos through windows.

If you are interested and want more information and/or a demonstration, contact Bob Anderson at x5767.

Jerry GjovaagPresident, Resident Council

GIFTS ETC.

Hey folks. Have you visited Gifts’ Etc. recently? If not, plan to stop by as we get in new items all of the time.

The “Then and Now” postcards of Panorama created by the Photography Club give us a glimpse of Panorama fifty years ago. With fall approaching, it will soon be time for hats and scarves and there is a nice selection of both, including some in your favorite team colors. Be sure to check out the unique “nite lites”. Our corner for the grands and greats features colorful flannel blankets, afghans and whimsical hats. There is a nice variety of

bargain watches with new batteries for $10.00. At that price, you can pick up several. The popular scrubbies are back in their basket and behind the door are some fancy aprons for those of us who still enjoy cooking. Myself not included! Your kitty will enjoy the variety of catnip toys. Do you have a knife that needs sharpening? Bring it to us and our friends in the wood shop will sharpen it for a nominal fee. As a reminder, we sell stamps in all denominations and a large variety of greeting cards.

Our hours remain Monday - Friday 10:00am – 2:00pm and closed on bank holidays. Cash or checks only please. We are unable to accept credit cards. Hope to see you soon.

101 Year Old Wins Panorama Bridge Marathon

Nancy Van Lydegraf was awarded the Grand Prize in the 2019 Bridge Marathon at a special dinner on July 27 at Seventeen51 Restaurant & Bistro. The event is a six-month long contest among players who meet and play in each other’s homes around the campus. There are two sessions each year, from January-June and from July-August. Each session culminates in a special dinner for the players at which winners are announced and cash prizes awarded.

Nancy moved to Panorama almost two decades ago and has actively coordinated and promoted bridge at Panorama for all levels of players including party bridge and duplicate bridge. She originally lived in Holladay Park and now lives in the Quinault.

Nancy’s partners in the marathon this year were Vi Williams and Patrick Roche.

Nancy’s amazing skills at the bridge table at age 101 and her generous donation of time and effort are admired by all bridge lovers on the campus.

Congratulations, Nancy!

Football Pot Luck

Fall is in the air, and fall means FOOTBALL. The Seahawks take the field on September 8th at 1:05pm and residents will cheer them on at our traditional Football Sunday pot luck in the Panorama Auditorium. Hot dogs and all the fixings will be available. If you want, bring a salad or dish to share and the beverage of your choice, and join in the fun. Pot lucks will continue every game day throughout the season.

Birthday Dinner Thursday, September 19 5:00pmSeventeen51 Restaurant and Bistro

What happens in the month of September? There is a little for everyone – last days of summer and the first days of fall. For farmers it is time to gather the rest of the harvest and prepare for the winter months. From the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah, which begins at sundown on September 29, to the Autumnal Equinox when there are approximately equal hours of daylight and darkness, the month of September brings important events to a reality.

The zodiac signs for September are Virgo and Libra and the birth flowers are aster and morning glory. The aster signifies powerful love and the morning glory symbolizes affection. The birthstone is the sapphire, which was once thought to guard against evil and poisoning. In fact, sapphires were thought to encourage divine wisdom and protection. The sapphire along with the ruby are the second hardest natural gemstones, with only the diamond being harder.

The dinner, however, will be tender and flavorful.

We will have: Grilled Salmon with Citrus Butter, Herb Risotto and Asparagus Dessert: Créme Brulee

Our entertainment: ALMOST BLUE - Artistic local Jazz duo

See you there!Diane and Jo Love

Kudos Corner

A big thank you to Security Officer, Clint Canepa, for his quick response to check a smoke detector at our home.

My kudos to Daniel Yenne, Panorama’s waste collection guy, who reliably and efficiently performs this usually thankless task. We almost always have an extra bag of trash which is collected each week with courtesy and without complaint. Many thanks to Daniel.

Many thanks to Jeff Harley, Director of IT, who includes the looping of some common rooms at Panorama as they become renovated. Hearing aid wearers with telecoil installed can now connect directly to the sound system to hear so much better! Try out the Seattle Room for this unique experience. Thanks!

Kudos to those hard workers at the Patio Sale. The new way of arranging items by type (platters, bowls, Corning ware) with signs gave the effect of everything having been curated. Very professional and saved a lot of searching.

A shout out to Melissa Hegel Linggi with the Grounds Department for the way she listens to the residents and follows through to make the landscaping sparkle! Also, thanks to Alex Jalil in Maintenance for going the extra mile to make the residents happy and comfortable. Lucky us to have such caring people!

Deep appreciation to Kris Bartruff for her steadfast and cheerful leadership of our summer Walk the Loop program. Kris and husband Dave put an enormous amount of time and energy into making this program available for the rest of us. They prepare and put up the signs and the participation charts, and greet us with smiles and interest each week. Bravo to both of them!

Kudos to Renovations for the bold colors showing up on our dwellings. The updated color schemes are a welcome change and really highlight the beauty of our campus.

Send your Kudos to [email protected] with “Kudos” in the subject line or call Jacklynn Roberts

at 438-7616.

First Week of Fall! No, Wait . . . AutumnThe first week of fall, ahem, autumn just so happens to be the beginning of Fall Prevention Week. September 22nd is the start of Fall Prevention week and, though there is only one week dedicated nation-wide to the focus, it should be something we focus on year-round.

Falling isn’t simply an inconvenience that causes embarrassment. Falling can cause real, sometimes lasting damage, and potentially death. Deaths by falls have increased over the years and so it is good to be as prepared as possible, even if you don’t think you are at risk for a fall. This applies even more so to those over 70 who have a three-fold chance of increased falls than those 69 and under, according to a University of Mississippi study and the CDC. The potential to bruise, break a bone, or experience traumatic brain injury should be enough to encourage anyone to take a pro-active stance in reducing their risk of falling.

Though fall prevention may not be the liveliest of conversations or topics, prevention is the key and the best preventive methods involve addressing and minimizing hazards before they can pose a threat to your health. Not every accident can be avoided, but taking certain precautions can extend your independence and greatly reduce your risk.

A few key preventative measures you can take are:

Make an appointment with your doctor• What medications are you taking?• Have you fallen before? - Write down the details, including when, where and how you

fell.• Could your health conditions cause a fall? - Certain eye and ear disorders may

increase your risk of falls.

Keep moving• Physical activity can go a long way toward fall prevention.

Wear sensible shoes• Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall-prevention plan.

Remove home hazards• Take a look around your home. Your living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom,

hallways and stairways may be filled with hazards.

Light up your living space• Keep your home brightly lit to avoid tripping on objects that are hard to see.

Use assistive devices• Your doctor might recommend using a cane or walker to keep you steady. Other

assistive devices can help, too.

If necessary, ask your doctor for a referral to an occupational therapist. He or she can help you brainstorm other fall-prevention strategies. Some solutions are easily installed and relatively inexpensive.

Panorama also offers a multitude of classes to assist with gaining more stability and balance such as Tai Ji Quan: Movement for Better Balance, Nordic Walking, Water Fitness classes, and more.

Stay tuned for upcoming clinics on “How to Fall” and a Fall Risk Assessment with University of Puget Sound’s graduate physical therapy students.

The Sun’ll Come Out Tomorrow…After endless sunless days in June, including Day One of the 49th Annual Benevolent Fund Patio Sale, many weather prayers were answered

on Day Two. The sun did indeed come out “tomorrow” as the much-anticipated day dawned bright and sunny while shoppers came out in force, as one could judge by the enthusiastic crowd at opening bell.

Was the sale a success? Judging by revenue collected, number of volunteers and crowd

size, most certainly. A preliminary gross tally of receipts for the two-day event was $48,233.89 - over a 20% increase from last year.

This annual event went far to build a community, exemplifying the Benevolent Fund motto, “Residents Helping Residents.” A total of 503 residents participated as volunteers, joined by an additional 134 non-residents. In the six days between Tuesday, July 16 and Sunday, July 21, their volunteerism totaled 2,711 hours. Non-resident participation boosted that total to 3,457. Carol Thomas, Karen Romanelli and Jan Gilmore of the Leadership Team and the other Volunteers-in-Charge (VICs) tallied many hours spent in planning meetings. Dave Bartruff and Ross Lasater put in many long hours of computer time: Dave on possible layouts of tables for sales areas, while Ross managed all volunteer contact info and schedules. “It takes a Village” was never so true.

It’s not unusual to hear a volunteer joke about how there must be an easier way to raise

money. And we all laugh and agree that there might be an easier way. But what fun would that be? The community-building atmosphere of this event is a key to its success. Most volunteers return year after year to be a part of the festivities. New residents are eager to meet new neighbors and feel part of the Panorama community.

We hope every volunteer enjoyed themselves, met someone new and felt part of this worthwhile and rewarding event. To our hard-working and wonderful volunteers: Thank You!

The Leadership Team is already busy at work planning for the 50th Annual Patio Sale in 2020. They want to make this a very special, memorable event. Until then, remember on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, the Benevolent Fund truck is ready to pick up your furniture, books, collectibles, gently used household items and treasures. Call the Panorama switchboard at x0 to arrange a pickup. These items are then sold throughout the year on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9:00am to 11:30am at either of our shops: Stiles-Beach Barn or Encore Furniture and Books.

READY FOR YOUR WORKOUT?

If you have never solved a cryptogram before, you’ll need to know certain facts. • A cryptogram is a communication in code, using a scrambled alphabet that substitutes one letter for another.

• I have given you 3 different cryptograms below. Each of the 3 cryptograms is coded differently, but in any single quotation, the code is consistent. No letter ever stands for itself. You can use some logic.

• Any single letter would be either an “A” or an “I”. The most common two-letter words are: an – at – is – it – in – on – of-.

• Common three-letter words are: the – and – but – for – are – and - you.

• Common four-letter words, which start and end with the same letter could be: “that” or “else”.

• The order of frequency of the most used letters in the English language is: E – T – A – O – I – N – S – H – R – D – L – U. Have fun!

NOTES FROM MAINTENANCE:

Maintenance Update by Wayne Rost

July was a busy month for Maintenance. Here are some highlights:• Provided trash and cleanup support at the Fourth of July picnic in McGandy Park.

• Carlos, Dave, and Alex provided additional lighting and tech support for the Annual Patio Sale.

• Josh installed a permanent mount for the Patio Sale banner on the corner of 14th and Sleater Kinney.

• Carlos aided cleanup and trash removal from the Patio Sale.

• Maintenance provided support for the PSE main power upgrade by providing notifications to the affected residents and manning the generators during the required outages. Moving the hub from the basement of the Chalet and replacing the cables will provide more dependable power.

• Eduardo oversaw an upgrade to the air handlers in the lobby of Pan Hall. The upgrade will make it more comfortable and energy efficient.

• Dan and Josh have been busy with the remodeling of the Chinook Social Room. They have also done several other projects including siding installation and repair.

• Thanks to Glen’s excellent record keeping and John’s knowledge of the Quinault fire protection systems, the Assisted Living section passed their annual State Fire Marshall inspection with flying colors.

• Our locksmiths, Tom and Josh, have installed card key access locks in several additional areas.

NOTES FROM GROUNDS: Grounds is staying busy with a variety of summer tasks and projects. Weeding, edging, mowing and pressure washing as well as irrigation, pruning for visibility or safety, and numerous planting projects all continue.

August is also time for pruning Japanese maple trees and laceleafs. While Grounds takes care of the laceleafs and smaller maples, our arborist company is safety inspecting and pruning many of our larger trees throughout campus. This spring, we began using Capital Tree and Treewalker LLC for this service. We have been very pleased with their work and have received many compliments from residents as well with regard to their professionalism and quality of work.

Other projects this month include pruning the Holladay Park hedge, cleaning up along the buffer, and fertilizing turf. In addition, the long awaited Bocce Ball Court finally opened up for use on August 8th. It was a long time in the making and there were several obstacles to conquer but at long last…it is finished. The space was designed not only to play Bocce Ball but to serve as a gathering space for residents as well. We hope everyone gets a chance to check it out and enjoy the new space.

NOTES FROM SECURITY: Greetings from Security! We hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather. As the days slowly start getting shorter, I would like to remind you all to be safe when walking in the evenings. Always wear light colors or reflective clothing, and walk on the sidewalk whenever possible. When a sidewalk is not available, remember to walk on the side facing traffic so you can see oncoming vehicles as soon as possible. Safety first!

I would also like to remind you that we are here to take your calls 24 hours a day. If you encounter an issue or something out of the ordinary, such as suspicious people on campus, solicitors, or anything else that causes concern, please do not wait to call us. If you call immediately, this helps us locate the person quickly and find out what they are doing, and most times resolve any potential issues before they arise.

You should never wait to call for any type of issue, even ones that have already occurred. If you find or suspect that someone has broken into or attempted to break into your home or vehicle, call 911 immediately, then call Security.

The longer you wait for issues like these, the more time the person has to get away or do it again to someone else. Remember, if a crime has been committed, always call 911 first.

I would like to introduce the newest member of our Security team, Shawn Lucero. He proudly served 4 years in the U.S. Army as a Military Policeman, and we are very happy to have him on our team. He will be replacing Officer Greg Wahl, who recently transferred to Urgent Response.

As always, it is our honor to serve and provide you with the highest level of securi-ty possible. Please call us at 438-7533 or x7533 for all your security needs.

Resident Artist Wins Third Prize at Thurston County Fair

Harriet Hunter has been a Panorama resident since 1999 and she moved to our Assisted Living in April of 2017. She has continued to pursue her love of the arts. One of her recent works received the honor of 3rd place at the Thurston County Fair!

“I’ve done ceramics for years and I wanted to get back into it. My daughter-in-law agreed to pose for this sculpture. I want people to know that you can still do things after 95. Returning to the ce-ramics studio on a more regular basis has been very enjoyable.”

Congratulations to Harriet and thank you for being a symbol of active aging!

North Thurston Education Foundation “Because of You” Luncheon – October 18

Thank you to everyone who donated. Because of you, all Thurston County kids will go back-to-school with all the tools they need to be successful.

Homelessness Working GroupIn February, a group of residents concerned about the increasingly visible issue of homelessness in Thurston County began gathering monthly to learn more about homelessness in our community and to discuss ways to help. The Homelessness Working Group has decided to focus on children experiencing homelessness by supporting the efforts of our local school district, North Thurston Public Schools. The group gathers monthly on the second Thursday of each month.The next Homelessness Working Group gathering is Thursday, September 12 at 2:00pm in the Quinault Coffee Room and all are welcome to attend.

Many members of the Homelessness Working Group are planning to attend the North Thurston Education Foundation’s annual “Because of You” fundraising luncheon. The North Thurston Education Foundation is an independent non-profit partnership of community

members and North Thurston Public Schools committed to enhancing educational opportunities for students and schools and to helping students overcome obstacles to their success in school. Please contact Peggy Jamerson x5735 or Paul Stebbins x5149 if you would like to RSVP to attend.

Reading Buddies Volunteer OpportunityDo you love reading and sharing that love of reading with the next generation? Consider volunteering as a Reading Buddy this coming school year. The United Way Reading Buddy program is a vital volunteer program that impacts grade-level reading success for local kids. Volunteers work directly with students on a weekly basis and have the power to help boost academic achievement for a child - setting the right track for a brighter future. During the 2018-2019 school year, eleven Panorama residents volunteered as Reading Buddies at Chambers Prairie Elementary School. Each week for one hour these Reading Buddies joined students from Kindergarten through Third Grade to give one-on-one reading support.

If you are interested in becoming a Reading Buddy, the next orientation session is Friday, September 6th at 10:00am in the Seattle Room. RSVP to Jennifer Thompson by email [email protected] or by phone at (360) 943-2773 ext. 121.

Grandparents Month at Hands on Children’s MuseumSeptember is national Grandparents Month and Panorama is partnering with the Hands on Children’s Museum to sponsor discounted grandparent memberships throughout the month of September. In addition, we’re sponsoring free admission for grandparents when they attend the museum with a child on Grandparents Day – September 8th from 10:00am-5:00pm.

Healthy Aging Month

It’s been over a decade since Carolyn Worthington, publisher of Healthy Aging® Magazine, created the “September is Healthy Aging® Month” initiative. Carolyn’s intent for this month is to focus on the positive aspects of aging and doing all we can to maintain our quality of life. Our attitudes and behaviors can be very influential in creating our reality, so here are some ideas on how to sustain our best health:

Social Activity: Social isolation can lead to depression and dementia. You don’t have to join every social group or attend every event, but be sure to participate in some activities that you enjoy and that connect you with others.

Diet: It is well-documented that a healthy diet (such as the Mediterranean Diet which reduces meat intake and focuses on fresh vegetables and fruits, fish, nuts, and olive oil) can not only prevent physical issues like heart disease, but can give us more energy and vitality.

Genes: While we can’t change our genetic predisposition to certain disease processes, we can take action to reduce the risk that those genes become activated. Knowing that high cholesterol or diabetes run in your family, you can ensure that your diet is low in animal fats and simple carbohydrates (sugar). Get tested regularly so you can catch any changes early.

Productive Pursuits: Humans have an inborn need for meaning in their lives, beyond the day-to-day routine of existence. People are much happier if they are involved in activities they find meaningful. Explore what brings meaning to your life, and do some of that!

Exercise: We hear about the need for strength, balance, endurance, and weight-bearing exercise everywhere we turn. We hear it everywhere because it’s THAT important to our health and functioning. 15 – 30 minutes daily of moderate aerobic activity, twice weekly strength training, plus balance and flexibility activities are recommended for a well-rounded exercise routine. Check with your healthcare provider about any restrictions or recommendations specific to your needs.

Just a reminder to call me at x7564 or email at [email protected] to schedule your free Extending Independence home visit. At our visit, we will discuss strategies for maintaining your health and wellness, and will address any concerns you may have about your functioning. It’s a great opportunity to review what’s going well, where you might benefit from some changes, and to get information on resources at Panorama and in the wider community.

Following these wellness recommendations

reduces your risk of falling!

Be WellBy Marla LeFevre BSN,RNDirector of Independent Living Health Services

GREY Resistance Indivisible Mark Your CalendarsJoin us for these upcoming meetings.•10:30am – 12:00pm. Friday, September 13 in the Quinault Auditorium for an exciting meeting. (See Mari’s message.)

•3:30pm – 4:30pm Women’s Energy Group meets every other Monday in the balcony of the Chapel on the 5th floor of the Quinault. Please join the group for stimulating conversation and friendship. For dates and information call Diane at x5406.

Invitation from GRI Coordinator, Mari StuartCAUTION: Read at your own discretion. This may offer intrigue that resonates!

Are you tired of glossy media coverage, legislative discord, campaign rhetoric and idle, local hearsay?

September 13 at 10:30am in the Quinault Auditorium the newly formed GRI Action Teams will be in Work Study mode. These five Action Teams are focused on Healthcare, Immigration, Governance & Ethics, Climate Change, and the 2020 Election.

There is excitement in the air as participants are deeply interested and even passionate about delving into a thorough INVESTIGATION of their issue of choice via researching, reading, and discussion. The objective, after building a broader understanding of their topic, is to provide an opportunity to reach out to the community and develop a more complete picture of the issue. Resulting (we believe) in a closer CONNECTION with local, county, state, and national leadership.

The ultimate team goal is to actively ENGAGE using a multi-faceted delivery system not limited to but including:•Office visits to appointed and elected officials•Letters to the Editor•Phone calls to community, state, and national leadership•Op-eds•Postcards to voters•Voter registration tables•Speaker roster development•Town hall events•Peaceful protests and vigils These are among the many options for ACTION.

This is an opportunity and open invitation for you to uncover with us what’s really at play in our democracy and what role YOU may take in that search, discovery and action. Think it over and then MARK YOUR CALENDAR.

Becoming Informed and Taking ActionEach week we are sent a Weekly Call to Action that includes context for most current bills or policies that may call for action.

If you are interested in receiving this information, send an email to [email protected].

Grey Resistance Indivisible (GRI) is a local chapter of the national Indivisible organization. It is one of seven local Indivisible chapters in Thurston County and almost 7000 chapters nationwide. GRI members advocate for local issues through letters to the editor, postcard writing, attending demonstrations, registering voters, and attending meetings on issues that impact civic life in our democratic society.

We’ve Been Active

At our last meeting, 40 plus members of GRI spent time brainstorming issues and concerns that are very important to them. From that productive brainstorming session, we were able to consolidate all the input into

the themes that emerged. This will form the basis for much of our work going forward.

Recycling Plastic Bags - Not at Panorama

Here’s a Green Team tip on how we can improve our rate of plastic recycling. Plastic bags of any type should never be put into our recycle bins on campus. They jam up the equipment that processes our combined recycled material. Please help us avoid that.

But there’s a silver lining to this story. Our local grocery stores participate in a plastic bag recycling program that’s easy to use. Our nearby Fred Meyer and Safeway grocery stores have bins for recycling plastic bags in their front lobbies. If you shop at other stores, ask the employees if they have a bin for recycling plastic bags.

What happens to those recycled bags? They are mostly remanufactured into plastic lumber - the sort of planks that are used in decks or park benches. Some are even processed into plastic bags again. So - instead of landfill trash - our plastic bags can be recycled into useful products.

What is OK to take to these nearby bins? Any plastic bag that’s CLEAN and DRY. That means produce bags, bread bags, dry-cleaning bags, newspaper bags, packaging for paper napkins, paper towels, & toilet paper. Even zip-lock bags are OK, if you remove the hard plastic tab. It’s simple; any soft plastic bag is OK, if it is CLEAN and DRY.

Panorama residents are already making good use of our two recycling centers. Let’s remember to take our plastic bags to the bins at nearby stores and add this step to our recycling routines.

Getting Serious About Plastic Pollution

A staggering eight million metric tons of plastic ends up in the ocean every year.

Much of it ends up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is actually two large masses between Japan and the U.S. West Coast. There are many garbage patches in both hemispheres, and they contain all sizes of plastic pieces. If current trends continue, it’s predicted that by 2050, plastic will outweigh fish in our oceans. And 12 billion metric tons of it will sit in landfills.

“The giant garbage vortex in the Pacific Ocean is more than twice the size of Texas. The huge area is 617,800 square miles.”

For more information about garbage patches in our oceans check out the following site:https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/podcast/june14/mw126-garbagepatch.html

ADOPTING A RACING GREYHOUND: The Joys and Challenges of Adopting a Retired Athlete

Thursday, September 12th at 2:00pmin the Quinault Auditorium

Presented by Ann and Rich Friedman, Panorama residents

Ann and Rich will be joining us on September 12th to describe their experiences in adopting Jake and Juliette – two retired racing Grey-hounds in Sacramento, CA. Many of you may remember Juliette who moved to Panorama with them in May 2017 before crossing the Rainbow Bridge in May 2018.

Racing Greyhounds live their formative years with little human affection on various racetracks before being placed in a forever home. Place-ment in a private home is quite an adjustment. Yet, Greyhounds prove to be gentle, affectionate and beloved family members.

Please join us on September 12th to relive some of the joys of adopting these wonderful, sweet dogs as well as some of the challenges of the adjustment from track life to urban living.

In the FootlightsIn honor of the late author, we will show the 2019 biopic Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am on the 17th and 19th, both at 1:30pm. This artful and intimate meditation on the legendary storyteller examines her life, her works and the powerful themes she has confronted throughout her literary career. A born storyteller, even her childhood memories come off as tiny epics, revealing some part of her, and by extension, some part of us in the process.

The Play’s the Thing Workshop continues by popular demand. The classes restart the last Thursday of September from 3:30pm - 6:30pm for an additional 8 weeks. All are invited to participate or just observe and listen as great scenes from the best playwrights come to life with Katherine Billings’ instruction and elucidation.

And speaking of plays, join us on September 21st and 22nd at 7:00pm and 2:00pm respectively to get your hair curled at Truvy’s Salon as you watch the Kaleidoscope production of Steel Magnolias directed by Mike Turner. The play shows with both humor and empathy the bond a group of women share in a small-town Southern community, and how they cope with the death of one of their own. Based on Robert Harling’s real life experience of the death of his sister in 1985 due to complications of diabetes. There will be a wine bar available at 6:00pm prior to the evening performance.

Oh, and music – more great music this month as Dueling Pianists take the stage on Monday the 23rd at 7:00pm with a wine bar opening at 6:00pm and Olympia’s Symphony Chamber Series can be heard on Monday the 30th at 7:00pm.

And movies – this month’s selection includes Norma Rae, All is True, Rocketman, A Fish Called Wanda, Second Time Around and Red Joan. Check the calendar for show times and take an afternoon or evening to come to the movies.

Water Policy in the Theater

Remember that you may bring water in closed containers into the auditorium. We’d also like to remind you to remem-ber residents who are sensitive to fragrances and maintain our fragrance-free policy when you attend theater events. Thanks, in advance, for your consideration.

Answer to the August Trivia Question - To what element of a theater does the term Off-Broadway refer?

Many people believe it is a reference to location. It is not. An Off-Broadway theatre is any professional venue in Manhattan with a seating capacity between 100 and 499, inclusive. These theatres are smaller than Broadway the-atres, but larger than Off-Off-Broadway theatres, which seat fewer than 100.

September Trivia Question – Who said: “I love acting. It’s so much more real than life.”

The Panorama Boat FloatIt’s back! The Panorama Radio Controlled Model Boats are back on the water after the summer hiatus for re-fitting and re-rigging. All are welcome to enjoy the Panorama Tugs and Fishing Boats as they cruise the pool.

September will be a busy month in the library. We start the month on September 10 with a speaker at 1:30pm in Panorama Auditorium. Richard Wiley is the author of eight novels and has won several awards, including the PEN/Faulkner Award of Fiction and the Washington State Book Award. He was awarded Professor Emeritus status at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He now lives in Tacoma, where he grew up. He graduated from the University of Puget Sound and received his MFA in Japan. He has lived in Korea (as a Peace Corps Volunteer), Japan, Nigeria and Kenya.

He will discuss his most recent book Tacoma Stories. The story starts in 1968 on St. Patrick’s Day with sixteen people drinking green beer, flirting, and ribbing each other. They head home and Wiley follows the lives of the individuals from 1958 to the present. The narratives weave together and at the heart of the book lies Tacoma – a town full of eccentricities and citizens as unique as they are universal. He does not relate to just Tacoma, but relates to any town perched on the edge of Puget Sound.

Following his talk, Wiley will do a “meet and greet” in the lobby and King’s Books will facilitate sales of his book. And of course there will be refreshments served.

The monthly orientation of the library will be on September 13, which is a Friday. It starts at 2:00pm and, depending on the questions and the number of participants, will last about one hour. It is a great introduction or reminder of how to utilize our library.

September 17 is the Annual Meeting of the Library Board and we welcome visitors. We will meet in the Tacoma Room at 1:30pm.

The Volunteer Luncheon will be held on September 19. It is our way of thanking the folks that make our library welcoming and special. Invitations will be sent out early in the month.

Three members were re-elected to the library board. Welcome back to Frances Snyder, Deb Creveling and Carola Norton.

A thank you to all who donated during the summer to our annual fund drive. You can look forward to new books throughout the year. Your support is appreciated!

Democratic Study Group

Our forum for September will be our annual Candidates and Issues Forum*. Our goal is to have all the candidates and spokespersons for issues that will be on our residents’ general election ballots appear and make their appeals

and answer our questions. Since there is a short time between getting the primary election results and the Panorama News copy submission deadline, there is not enough time to secure commitment from relevant speakers.

So watch Kya and the reader board for updates on who will be speaking.

Panorama P hotography GroupIn July, the Photography Group (PPG) enjoyed a weather perfect outing to Westport. Our first stop was the Westport Winery with their beautiful gardens, gift shop, restaurant, and wine tasting. The winery has more than 15 acres of themed gardens with around 60 pieces of outdoor sculptures from local artists.

From there our bus driver, Christe, surprised us with a stop at Brady Oyster Co., where we were able to sample smoked oysters, geoduck, and clams on our way to the historic Grays Harbor Lighthouse.

Our final stop was in Westport where there was plen-ty of opportunity to take pictures at the marina and enjoy ice cream before heading back home.

All in all, it was a wonderful day for our photogra-phers to shoot great images, and we are grateful for the support from Lifestyle Enrichment and their awesome staff that we have received this season in planning our trips!

Welcome to member sharing day in September! Bring your images to share with the PPG members. We love seeing them from our trips to Lake Sylvia, Westport, and Monarch Sculpture Garden, our walks with Neil to the Pollinator Garden and the Pea Patch, and any other images you would like to share.

PPG meets in the Quinault Coffee Room on Saturday, September 21, starting at 10:00am. Find out more about the PPG, our activities and outings by contacting Sylvia Cornette via email, [email protected] or calling her at x5909.

Is Your Computer Updated?By Jeff Harley, Director of Information Technology

If you have a computer that is still running Windows 7 it is time to update it. Microsoft will no longer support Windows 7 as of January 14, 2020. One of the best ways to protect your computer against viruses is to keep it updated. Once installed, Windows 10 offers you a safer internet browsing experience and improved Microsoft patching functionality. Please remember that you have a great resource at the Computer Learning Center. They can answer any questions you might have.

SAVE THE DATE! Resident Transit Annual MeetingSeptember 26 at 2:00pm in the Chalet Basement

The following issues need your input and suggestions:

• Resident Transit Needs NEW Committee Representatives - Denise Colley and Don Oldfield have rotated off of the R.T. committee after years of commendable service to Resident Transit. We are looking for replacements. R.T. committee meets as required, usually every 2-3 months. Members at large serve in various areas, or simply jump in where needed to help things run smoothly.

• Two members serve about 1 to 1 ½ hours twice a month to maintain the vans, taking them to get refueled, washed, and serviced as required.

• We NEED a recording secretary (the old physician’s handwriting is atrocious) to record minutes of the meetings and maintain monthly reports of volunteer hours (pre-determined number with possible “extra “ hours to record).

• We need a person willing to take over scheduling - this is a semi-automated VSP program requiring a monthly set up, and then watching it run. Comfort with computers is good but work is trainable. We do have helpers so this is not isolated work.

Committee members do not necessarily need to be Drivers or Dispatchers. We just need people interested in serving their neighbors in a capacity that helps R.T. fulfill its mission. Perhaps you are interested or know someone you could recommend who likes to be involved but not overwhelmed by duties.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Annual R.T. meeting! Dave FairbrookR.T. Chairperson
