Edward T. Boyle

Center

Please Note: Due to Covid-19 Restrictions, the Boyle Center remains closed to non-residents.

July 2020 Newsletter It’s already July and we have

successfully made it through

months of managing social

isolation and restrictions placed

on us because of Covid-19

looming all around us. Although

we are not back to “normal,” we

have so much to be thankful for:

First of all, that we have not had any positive Covid-19 cases at

the Boyle Center is profound! We have much to celebrate—

Independence Day, Cayuga County being eligible to move into

Governor Cuomo’s fourth stage of reopening, and our health

and well-being.

Two-hundred and forty-four years ago, Thomas Jefferson wrote

a draft of the Declaration of Independence and on July 4th the

representatives from the 13 American colonies ratified the

Declaration of Independence. Imagine what our founding

fathers would think of America as it stands at this moment. The

unity that the Declaration represents is being challenged, but I

suppose it always has been. The United States has faced many

challenges and division in the last 244 years and we have

remained strong and independent despite wars, tragedy, attack,

epidemics and pandemics. Regardless of where you stand on the

hot topics, Let’s come together in spirit to celebrate our great

Country!

Angelia Mack, LMSW Service Coordinator

Message from Management: Please

note the office will be closed on July 3rd in

observance of Independence Day.

Beginning July 1st, the window will be open

however, you must call for an appointment

if needed. No walk ins will be allowed.

Welcome New Residents! Although we cannot properly welcome these folks to our activities, and events —feel free to send them a card or introduce yourself at a distance. It has to be hard to move to a new home during social isolation.

Please join Sue Dwyer, Cayuga County Clerk in recognizing an inspiring woman that all of us can learn

from. Abby Hansen took it upon herself to clean the Veteran’s Memorials near the APD. Abby wasn’t

asked to do this, wasn’t working for anyone and wasn’t directed by anyone—she has spent months

working to get the parks cleaned up for the good of the community and to respect those who served

for our freedom.

From the Program Office Greetings to everyone! Well, summer is finally here and it’s only normal to want to break out of our routines to enjoy the outdoors and have a little fun. We have been notified by the city of Auburn that we have been approved once again for grant money to help us provide this wonderful program. We are going to try a few “new” things to the program however, due to Covid 19, things will be different than what we are used to. Events and music will never be the same anywhere but, we will continue to offer them in just a different way. Here are a few things we are going to try in June. We need your patience and understanding for the “new way” of doing things. Remember you are the program! Let’s make this happen once again.

WE GOT THIS! Let’s think out of the box! All suggestions welcome! Robin

1940s Trivia Answers

1. B. The Pentagon The world’s largest office building is The Pentagon, in Washington DC. 2. A. Mount Rushmore Its sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, was influenced by Auguste Rodin’s impressionistic light-catching surfac-es. 3. C. Sir Winston Churchill, (1874-1965) at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri on March 5, 1946 “I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.” Sir Winston Churchill, on the eve of his 75th birthday. 4. C. The Women’s Army Corps Over 150,000 American women served in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) during World War II. Members of the WAC were the first women other than nurses to serve within the ranks of the United States Military. 5. B. Polio A disease caused by a virus, polio enters the body through the mouth, and is listed as one of the most contagious diseases known. Jonas Salk, M.D. (1914-1995), developed a vaccine for polio in 1952. 6. C. Drive with their headlights on after dark. During the Second World War, cars driving down Pacific Coast Highway were not allowed to turn on their headlights at night. They were only permitted to have a slit of light shine through. The theory was to make the American Coast hard to distinguish for the Japanese, hampering their efforts to bomb us. The highway became to be known by the servicemen traveling to and from LA and San Diego as “Blood Alley,” because of the frequency of head-on collisions. 7. B. Harry S. Truman The world situation demanded that President Truman make some of the most crucial decisions in histo-ry. Soon after VE-Day, the war against Japan had reached its final stage. An urgent plea to Japan to sur-render was rejected. Truman, after consultations with his advisers, ordered atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945. The Japanese surrendered shortly thereafter.

8. B. The Great Depression A portrait of the bitter conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce reaction to injustice, and of a woman’s quiet, stoical strength. This book and movie, wonderfully written by John Steinbeck, captures the horrors of the Great Depression as it probes into the very nature of equality and injustice in America. It starred Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell, and John Carradine. 9. B. Marlene Dietrich Traveling throughout North Africa and Italy, Marlene risk her life by staying at the front lines of the war. Several times, she even rode in General George S. Patton’s jeep as he led American troops. For her service in World War II, the U.S. War Department awarded Dietrich the Medal of Freedom in 1947, America’s highest civilian honor. She was also decorated by the French and Israeli governments. Mar-lene Dietrich died in Paris in 1992 at the age of 90. 10. C. 1944, Normandy A date known ever since as D-Day, a mighty armada crossed a narrow strip of sea from England to Nor-mandy, France, and cracked the Nazi grip on Western Europe. 11. C. The nightly bombing of London and other British cities Hitler believed that by targeting civilians he could force the British to surrender. On 7th September, 1940, the Third Reich began a daily bombing campaign. London was the main target but other major cities were also bombed. Casualties were high. On the first day of bombing 430 people were killed and 1,600 badly injured. Within a few weeks the daily bombing raids had become nightly raids. Hitler de-cided to make the bombing raids at night to increase the ‘fear factor’ and also to make people weaker by not allowing them to sleep properly. People in London slept in underground stations for protection. 12. A. Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan Nazi Germany, under Führer Adolf Hitler. Fascist Italy, under Il Duce Benito Mussolini. Imperial Japan, under Emperor Hirohito and Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.
