A look back at 2012<br />

It has been a wonderful year at <strong>Bartels</strong> Lutheran<br />

<strong>Retirement</strong> <strong>Community</strong>. 2012 has come and<br />

gone and many exciting things took place. The<br />

year was started with staff at <strong>Bartels</strong> participating<br />

in the ‘Souper Bowl’, a fight against hunger and<br />

poverty across the nation. <strong>Bartels</strong> staff and visitors<br />

collected over 150 lbs. of food and raised $158<br />

to be donated to the local food pantry. <strong>Bartels</strong><br />

residents, staff, family and friends also participated<br />

in the ELCA “Buck-a-Chick” world hunger<br />

campaign throughout the lenten season. A total of<br />

a $365 was raised to help end world hunger.<br />

The restorative care program, a popular therapy<br />

program for residents, continues to expand. The<br />

program offers long-term residents the ability to<br />

maintain or gain strength, mobility and balance<br />

through restorative exercise programs. The<br />

restorative therapy program moved to its new<br />

location in Woodland Terrace in the Fall of 2012.<br />

Currently 52 residents are participating in the<br />

therapy program.<br />

A playful black Labrador retriever joined the<br />

staff at <strong>Bartels</strong> Lutheran <strong>Retirement</strong> <strong>Community</strong>.<br />

Lucy, <strong>Bartels</strong> Pet Therapy dog, moved to <strong>Bartels</strong> in<br />

late June and began her duties of visiting residents<br />

on a daily basis and attending <strong>Bartels</strong> events. Lucy<br />

not only provides much-needed companionship,<br />

but also helps increase residents’ quality of social<br />

interaction. The residents have truly enjoyed Lucy’s<br />

companionship over the past six months.<br />

<strong>Bartels</strong> Leisure Services department held its<br />

first <strong>Bartels</strong> Olympics in July. The Olympics<br />

in different events. Gold, silver and bronze<br />

medals were awarded to the residents for their<br />

accomplishments. The Olympic events included, an<br />

Opening Ceremony, Archery, Handball, Badminton<br />

and Closing Ceremonies.<br />

Eichhorn Haus celebrated its 25th Anniversary<br />

the first week of October. Week events included<br />

an Open House to the public, special anniversary<br />

dinner with entertainment for Eichhorn Haus<br />

residents, Open House for all <strong>Bartels</strong>’ staff, and a<br />

special social hour concluded the week’s events on<br />

Friday.<br />

A new gazebo was built and finished in October<br />

for residents and family to enjoy quality time<br />

outside. A special thank you to all donors who<br />

helped fund the gazebo.<br />

Eisenach Village continues to grow at a<br />

rapid pace with 20 homes being occupied. The<br />

Klubhaus, a community center for Eisenach Village<br />

members, will be open at the end of <strong>January</strong>. The<br />

Klubhaus features an exercise room, kitchenette,<br />

large community room and game room. It will<br />

also house the Eisenach Village Sales Office and<br />

Selections Gallery.<br />

2012 brought many wonderful things to <strong>Bartels</strong>.<br />

We would like to thank all of the friends, family,<br />

and donors for all of your help and encouragement<br />

that you gave to <strong>Bartels</strong> over the past year. We wish<br />

you and yours a wonderful, safe and healthy <strong>2013</strong>!<br />

Blessings and Happy New Year!

Caring. Residents, staff members, families, and visitors are invited to participate. At least one nonperishable<br />

food item (still within the expiration date), or one dollar is being requested. Beginning<br />

Wednesday, <strong>January</strong> 23 and through Tuesday, February 5, <strong>2013</strong>, tables will be located in the hallway<br />

between Eichhorn Haus and Linden Place, outside the Good Shepherd Chapel, and near the Fireside<br />

the Souper Bowl of Caring. As the date draws closer more information will be posted. This program<br />

began as an opportunity for youth, but now others are being included. For more information you are<br />

invited to go to: souperbowlofcaring.org or tacklehunger.org.<br />

May the young, and the young at heart here at <strong>Bartels</strong> work together to reflect the huge heart that<br />

hunger in our community.<br />

Blessings!!!<br />

Resident Spotlight: Elda Wittenburg<br />

If you ever want to spend<br />

an enjoyable half-hour<br />

or so, stop by Apt. 205<br />

in Linden Place and visit<br />

with 104 year old Elda<br />

Wittenburg. Her life has<br />

spanned so many changes in<br />

technology, convenience and<br />

travel that it is amazing to<br />

think what she has seen and<br />

experienced. Elda is very knowledgeable about the local<br />

history of the Readlyn/Denver area; a place she called<br />

home her whole life until moving to <strong>Bartels</strong> Assisted<br />

Living in July of 2008.<br />

Born June 1, 1908, on the Seeger family farm in<br />

Maxfield Township, Bremer County, Iowa, Elda was<br />

next to the youngest child, with four sisters and<br />

one brother. She attended country school for a short<br />

time before the family moved into Denver to an acreage<br />

on Main Street where her father bred, trained and sold<br />

purebred horses and her mother sold fruit from her<br />

large garden. Elda married Fred Wittenburg on her 18th<br />

birthday in 1926. Together they had two sons, Lavern<br />

and Donald. There are five granddaughters and two<br />

grandsons and an assortment of great grandchildren.<br />

Elda worked alongside Fred in their various businesses<br />

in Denver, including a tavern and then many years of<br />

owning and operating the lumberyard. After they left<br />

the lumberyard, they owned and operated another<br />

tavern/restaurant called Speed’s in Denver. Elda has<br />

been a widow for quite some time, but remains close to<br />

her family and spends many good times with them.<br />

When I asked her to share some of her good<br />

memories of years gone by, Elda’s eyes lit up as she<br />

told about a car full of friends going to the Riviera in<br />

Janesville, the Coliseum in Oelwein or Electric Park<br />

in Waterloo for dances. She said they would load up<br />

Enriching lives through quality<br />

services & Ch r i sti care. a n<br />

the car and take off for a night of dancing the 2-Step,<br />

Polka and Waltz to live music. Another fun activity<br />

for the Wittenburgs and their friends was card playing,<br />

especially games of 500 at their homes. Elda still loves<br />

to play cards, spending every afternoon and evening<br />

at Linden Place playing 500; a total of four hours or so<br />

daily. Only a natural disaster or a doctor’s appointment<br />

will change that routine!<br />

Another important part of Elda’s life has been her<br />

church, St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Denver,<br />

where she has been a member for over 100 years. She<br />

and her family rarely missed a Sunday service and she<br />

attends church every Sunday now at Linden Place. The<br />

Wittenburgs also enjoyed traveling by car to Portland,<br />

Oregon, California and the Grand Canyon in Arizona.<br />

Elda states that those trips are some of her favorite<br />

memories.<br />

Elda still keeps a daily journal and writes letters to<br />

a long list of old friends and far away relatives. Her<br />

determination and focus are part of the reason she is<br />

so active and alert at 104, although she states she<br />

has never known anyone as old as she is and never<br />

thought she would live so long!<br />

Elda enjoys living at Linden Place for the friends<br />

she has made, the breakfast and supper meals and<br />

all the ice cream and cookies that are served. She is<br />

fond of saying she could see and hear a lot better 20<br />

years ago (when she was 84!) so she is grateful for the<br />

help she receives here. Fiercely independent, she does<br />

almost everything for herself, asking only for a little<br />

help with her hair between regular beauty shop visits on<br />

Wednesdays.<br />

So if you have a little time, come and visit this<br />

remarkable lady, but be sure to call first…she may have a<br />

card game, a nap scheduled or a letter or two to write!<br />

Eichhorn Haus would like to welcome new resident,<br />

Ray Dewey, to Eichhorn Haus and the <strong>Bartels</strong>’<br />

community on December 7th. He moves here from<br />

Waverly.<br />

December was a busy month in Eichhorn Haus with<br />

the holiday activities taking place. Residents enjoyed<br />

a ride around Waverly looking at Christmas lights<br />

early in the month. Holiday refreshments were enjoyed<br />

afterwards. St. Paul’s school came for their Gifts of Joy<br />

on December 6th. They sang<br />

Christmas carols and handed<br />

out gifts. Fourth graders<br />

from Carey Elementary also<br />

visited and helped celebrate<br />

the holiday season. Residents<br />

enjoyed a sing-a-long with<br />

Alan and Patricia Hagen on<br />

December 12th. The Eichhorn<br />

Haus bell choir, led by Alice<br />

Bidne, preformed a holiday<br />

concert on December 14th.<br />

Eichhorn Haus held its annual Christmas party on<br />

December 19th. Andrew & Emma Withers of Waverly,<br />

played a piano duet, and performing after dinner were<br />

Emma Rathe, Dr. Jennifer Larson and Denise Hull. All<br />

three floors of Eichhorn Haus had their annual open<br />

houses to display their holiday decorating. The month<br />

ended with a New Year’s Eve pizza party!<br />

<strong>Bartels</strong> Residents dishing up new recipes weekly<br />

I f you were to walk down the hallways at <strong>Bartels</strong> Lutheran<br />

<strong>Retirement</strong> <strong>Community</strong> on a Monday afternoon around<br />

2:00 you may smell the aroma of a fresh baked apple pie,<br />

homemade chicken noodle soup on the stove or pizzas baking<br />

in the oven. Those scents are coming from the kitchenette in<br />

the Good Shepherd Chapel located on <strong>Bartels</strong>’ campus.<br />

Every Monday at 2:00 p.m., Leisure Services Assistant,<br />

Trisha Kaiser, hosts a baking group of residents who help<br />

make new recipes. Kaiser started the group because of her<br />

love for cooking and baking. She has always cooked for<br />

family gatherings and enjoys sharing her love of cooking<br />

with others. “I started baking when I was nine years old and<br />

ever since then I wanted to bake and cook for others” said Kaiser. She continued, “Food warms the soul<br />

and provides contentment and satisfaction. To watch the residents eat what they have helped create puts a<br />

huge smile on my face. They miss those kinds of comfort foods.”<br />

“Having this group allows the residents to be back in the kitchen like they used to be” said Kaiser.<br />

“They enjoy telling their cooking stories from when they used to bake and cook for their families. This<br />

group allows them to bring back those memories.”<br />

Each week features a different recipe. Some recipes are picked at random and other times a resident<br />

will suggest their favorite dish. Throughout the past three months, recipes featured fall, Halloween and<br />

Christmas themes, and included Zombie Pizzas, Cranberry Apple Crunch and The Great Pumpkin Cake<br />

and Christmas sugar cookies. In November, the residents helped fix a complete Thanksgiving dinner. The<br />

menu included turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry salad and<br />

homemade rolls.<br />

The baking group meets from an hour to an hour and a half depending on how long the recipe takes.<br />

Each resident is responsible for helping with a certain<br />

part of the recipe; mixing, stirring, pouring<br />

ingredients, spreading frosting, etc. When the<br />

cooking or baking is finished, the residents each<br />

enjoy their own serving. Their favorites recipes<br />

include homemade chicken noodle soup with<br />

home-made noodles, Tiramisu, and the Southern<br />

Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese frosting.<br />

Kaiser concludes, “It’s been a lot of fun to watch<br />

the residents take part in something I know they<br />

used to love to do.”<br />
