Health Tip Kenzie England

Wellness Director The built-in exercise stations around

campus are a great tool we have here. There is one placed every so often along the sidewalks that can

be utilized as you are walking around the loop. These stations do a great job of creating a well-rounded exercise routine by working every large muscle group. Incorporating some sort of strength training into

your exercise routine can be beneficial in many ways.

Combining this with walking or biking will create a well-balanced

routine that will provide you with a multitude of health benefits.

AL Art Show Thank you to all who participated in the art show this year! As usual, there were so many beautiful works of art displayed by residents and staff. Cottagers, and others who were una-ble to visit the show in person, will find a video (taken by Kevin Pruitt) under the photos/videos app on Touchtown or visit: https://youtu.be/faVAzZsu44I Additional photos will be posted on the Touchtown app next week.

30 Days! 30 Miles!~ Walk for Alzheimer's

Tuesday, September 21

2:00 pm Sycamore Courtyard

Tuesday, September 21 is World Alzheimer’s Day and we are walking together as a Village to support Alz-heimer’s research. For the past few weeks we have had resident throughout the Village walk each day to support our 30 Days! 30 miles! walk for Alzheimer’s pro-gram. On Tuesday we ask ALL OF YOU, residents and staff to come together and join us for a walk around the Village!! We will meet in the Sycamore Courtyard at 2:00 pm for a photo. Staff and residents who are able might consider pushing a wheelchair bound resident around the loop. If you would like to do that, please call Debbi at extension 4230 or one of the Assisted Living activities assistants at 3530. The walk is sponsored by Rehab Strategies. They will donate $1 per resident, per day who walk in the month of September. If you have not walked, there is still time. Contact Laurie at extension 1053 for more information.

Best Friends Week Jocelyn Harper

Westminster Village North employ-ees will be becoming “Best Friends” with residents from Ironwood Memory Care and Cedar Commons Memory Care the week of September 20-26. Staff will connect with their residents to increase socialization and create a sense of belonging. During these seven days, it is hoped the par-ticipants will grasp the importance of being a best friend by participating in activities that will allow each other to bond and build a new relationship! Activities during the week include: Crafts, photos booth, cooking demo (Cedar), Cookout (Ironwood), and floats! Every day is a good day to practice being a best friend!

Did you notice?

A beautiful photo composition de-picting the creation is hanging in the Tamarack Mail Room. This mural was created for the Hinsdale Hospital by Don Jiskra and has been shared by the artist’s widow, Gloria Jiskra of Tamarack. Don was an accomplished photographer/artist who wanted to share his appreciation for the care he received after becoming seriously ill. Gloria has generously shared this beautiful framed photo, hoping it brings joy to her new neighbors in Tamarack.

Keep Walking! 30 Days! 30 Miles! On September 21, at 2:00 pm we will all meet in the Sycamore Court-yard for a Village group photo and walk in honor of World Alzheimer’s day! I have cancelled Fast Food & Trad-er Joe’s. There is not enough time since we need to be at the Alzhei-mer’s walk by 2:00 pm. We will put it on the October calendar. The Monday Movie Matinee will be Julia & Julie. It is a film which con-trasts the life of chef Julia Child in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New York-er Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child's cookbook in 365 days, a challenge she de-scribed on her popular blog, which made her a published author. Join us at 1:30 pm in the Foundation Social Hall. News & Views will not be held on Tuesday, Sep 21. It will resume in October on the regularly scheduled days on the fsh patio. Myers Lunch Theatre: Tickets have been purchased. Those attending will please bring $47 per person, which includes the $3 processing fee they charge. Wii Bowling is up and running again! Please join us at the next scheduled time, which is Tuesday, Sep 21 at 3:30 pm. If you have not played before and want to come see what it is about, please feel free to come and watch! Craft Class: Are you interested in making a pretty bowl from yarn? This interesting technique is simple and allows you to create a useful dec-orative bowl. Sign up on the app or call me! Ext. 1053.

Resident Activities Laura Roman

Many of our residents have created activities that include other residents. These activities are not part of our Leisure Services and Activities Department services, other than to assist with scheduling rooms. Since it is not an activity supported by our staff, the resident captain may invite whomever they would like. In the past, we have included these activities on our calendar — but that may have erroneously implied that they are “open” to everyone. Moving forward, all private card games and activities will be eliminated from the calendar and not additional support will be provided by WVN. We ask all residents to respect each other—and not attend an activity that is private. If the activity is supported by our staff—it will be open to all. Thank you for your understanding.

Brain Teaser

You are in a place called Wally’s World and there is only one law. There is a mirror, but no reflection. There is pizza with cheese, but not sausage. There is pepper, but no salt. There is a door, yet no entrance or exit. What is the law? Last week’s answer: 9 + 8+ 7 + 65 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 99

Benton County Wind Farm

IL residents visited the Benton County Wind Farm and got an up close and personal look at the huge windmills that power grids across the nation.

Below they stand in front of a small portion of replica blade painted with a fowl. The Benton County windfarm is located in Fowler, Indiana.
