PRESIDENT’S CORNERPeering into the NewYear we might perceive apotentiallymonumentalclash between opposing“narratives” about who weJames Wells are as a people and a world.One side calls humanity to work toward aninclusive, cooperative and environmentallysensitive vision of life based on the“narrative” established in the awful aftermathof World Wars I and II. The opposing narrative holds that humanity best works toward afuture where the nation or group must first bestrengthened in its own values, distinct fromothers and wary of “globalizing influences.”Perhaps both perspectives are required. Onone hand when we seek to strengthen ourown group and become inwardly focusedwith our own, this “comfort” can become“complacency.” Likewise, when we embarkon adventures of “change” by incorporatingnew thoughts and people, we must beware ofthe possibility of “chaos.” I have found thataging does not significantly influence eitherperspective as much as the individual personality living in the context of a thriving community, such as ours.Why should this concern Canterbury? Atheart we are an extraordinary band of brothers and sisters achieving marvelous things inour 70s, 80s and 90 pluses! Read the pastyear of Canterbury Tales under the leadershipof Editor Roger Scovil who has ably given usthe tools to appreciate and express our narrative. Congratulations Roger for a first-ratejob! The Canterbury story unfolds examplesof deep commitment to each other for the betterment of the Atlanta community, and world.Our stewardship to this world may be a byproduct of privilege and the related opportunity, but I’d rather believe it is the core ofwhat we are and what we want to become.Charity may begin at home but it must neverstop there. As Georgia’s first and perhapsforemost son, President Jimmy Carter, use tosay after an admiring speech to Habitat forHumanity workers, “Don’t think you’ve doneenough: you can do more!” We are about doing more at Canterbury! Expect bumps because we will approach our work from different narratives.The primary message I received frommany in the Canterbury narrative is this: weneed to “strengthen our core.” This has resulted in your Board of Trustees developingstrategic statements that have focused management’s efforts over the past 9 months:Enhanced, state-of the-art Wellness,Healthcare, and Memory Care Services, Targeted investments in Facilities, Technology and Human Resources in order tomaintain and/or advance market position, Incorporation of opportunities, as theymay arise, to expand services to Seniors oflesser means, Development of community-based programs and services consistent with Canterbury Court’s faith based roots. Observe that the first two items strengthens the “core” while the second two require us to look beyond for a greaterawareness and engagement of the largercommunity. Our pastoral services department has a keen eye toward expanding onopportunities for Canterbury to do justthat, underpinned by the rich traditions ofour Episcopal faith.Tom Friedman in his recent book “ThankYou for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide toThriving in the Age of Accelerations,” takes adecidedly positive approach to the outward,global perspective and argues convincinglyabout the danger of “mono-cultures.” Ourtradition at Canterbury probably leans in thisdirection as well, but we must at the sametime honor the values and tradition that constitute the strength of well-being, forged onthe humanizing values of the past. I so enjoythe conversations ahead as we “grow” ourcommunity to be the blessing for others that ithas been to us.James4
RESIDENTS COUNCIL PRESIDENT’S REPORTDear Friends,First, thank you for the privilege of heading the ResidentsCouncil for 2017. But 2016would not be complete without awarm and much deservedTHANK YOU to Ruth AnneBradCurrey Foote for her service in this office. She has led us well and is ahard act to follow!Most of the good things that happened hereat Canterbury Court are the product of committee activities. There are twenty-five committees (can you believe it!), all providing essential services to us and to this beautifulplace where we live. There are places foreach of us to engage and contribute to “how itis to live here.”Our most treasured assets here are our gardens. The Garden Committee, headed byMargaret Langford, deserves great credit forthe beauty of our gardens. Their latest initiative is cleaning out the bog and replanting itwith native plants. That represents a restoration of plantings in 1965 under the directionof Margaret White Hancock, one of ourfounders, and landscape architect EdwardDaugherty.Financially, the largest accomplishment ofus residents is the Appreciation Fund. It provides gifts to our employees based on tenurefour times a year plus a larger Christmas gift.Here’s hoping that you saw the notes fromseveral recipients in the Post Office area abouthow important this is to the folks who workhere and who make this such a splendid placeto live. Gifts to the Appreciation Fund overand above the amounts given to Canterburyemployees flow into the Scholarship Fund forthe coming year. Incidentally, the Appreciation Fund recently received a nice gift fromthe family of the late John White, president ofthe Residents Council in 2013. Their daughter’s letter expressed deep appreciation for theloving care experienced by both her parents atthe hands of folks in the Nursing Pavilion onthe 2nd floor.The Canterbury Scholarship Fund is aunique effort ably overseen by the ScholarshipCommittee headed by Jean Ellen Jones. Thiscommittee is composed of eleven people withgreat interest in education and a commitmentto help Canterbury employees improve themselves and their opportunities for a better life.Most of the costs of everything else theResidents Council does is funded by the Accumulation Sale and, brand new this year, theauction managed by Everything But theHouse (EBTH). Martha Solano and MarthaStringer are co-chairs. Martha Solano tookover last year from Mary Earle Scovil. Ifthese folks were in business, they would bemillionaires; they are that good.This edition of “Canterbury Tales”, and theyear 2016 would not be complete without acheer from us all and a standing ovation forRoger Scovil. Roger served as editor andpublisher of “Canterbury Tales” for sevenyears. He will tell you others did the writingand thus all the hard work. We all know better. He did have a talented side kick, his better half, MaryEarle. Thank you Roger andMaryEarle. Their successors are Nancy Fukushima and her side kick, Greg. It takes guts totake over from the likes of Roger and MaryEarle. Thank you, Nancy and Greg.Brad Currey #280President, Residents Council5
ADMINISTRATIONHappy New Year!! May2017 be a year of happiness andgood health for all of you. Itend not to make resolutions,but I do make goals. Many ofyou may remember that about 4Julieyears ago, I lost quite a bit ofParkerweight. Well, for whatever reason . lack of exercise and eating too much,no doubt, I have gained about 25 pounds back.I am certainly not happy about this so I have agoal to work out more and eat more healthilyto lose the weight again. Unfortunately, this isnothing new for me as I have struggled my entire life to lose and keep off weight.I hope all of you have a goal to movemore. There are many great classes in theWellness Center each day, walking in the garden or even the hallways are great forms ofexercise. Sometimes our fears of trying newthings get in our way or the phrase “I’ll starttomorrow” trips us up. Eating right and staying properly hydrated are also important as weramp up and move more. As we grow olderour brain does not detect that we are thirsty, soyou’ll need to make a conscience effort todrink more fluids and I would encourage thatfluid to be water whenever possible. Fatigue isone warning sign of dehydration, so make sureyou have a bottle of water with you during andafter you exercise. It is also good practice toeat smaller, more frequent meals to keep yourblood sugar stable and metabolism more efficient.By mid-month you will be hearing moreabout enhancements to our Wellness Clinic.Regine Vincent, RN will join Maxine Dura inthe Wellness Clinic. They will both overseethe health of residents in Independent Livingas well has providing more health-related information through educational lectures forboth residents and staff. We are also lookingforward to Dr. Bryan Hooker adding moredays to his current schedule to provide moremedical coverage for those of you who haveselected him as your primary care physician.Other new staff additions will be a fulltime bus driver which will enhance our currenttransportation program to include trips tomedical appointments, a security dispatch person who will take calls to expedite any security need that may arise, a concierge who willbe located at the front desk to help residentsand visitors with any issue that they may haveand an IT manager who will be facilitating theaddition of new forms of technology throughout our campus. We will keep you abreastabout these and other new positions once weare ready to roll them out to you. It is an exciting time that we can now offer new servicesthat will help you live a more comfortable life.Lastly, on behalf of all the staff of Canterbury Court, I would like to thank all of you foryour generosity over the year. The staff trulyappreciates your contributions to the Employee Appreciation Fund. The quarterly andChristmas gift that each person receives fromall of you really makes a difference in theirlives. We do not take this for granted and wishto extend to all of you our heartfelt gratitude and again, Happy New Year!!Julie Parker, Administrator- LNHA x3067COVER STORYMaryEarleScovilOur new Residents CouncilPresident Brad Currey stands infront of his 1931 Packard, a rumble seat/convertible, ready tolead the parade into 2017.
