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 />

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 />

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 />

Once again the <strong>Bartels</strong> Lutheran <strong>Retirement</strong> <strong>Community</strong> will be taking part in the Souper Bowl of<br />
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 />
Room (Skilled Rehabilitation entrance). Donated food can be left at any of those tables. Monetary<br />
donations can be given to Pastor Al. All donated food and money will be given to the Waverly<br />
location of the NE Iowa Food Bank to help those in need in our local community. The amount from<br />
<strong>Bartels</strong> will be tallied with other donations from around the county to arrive at the total response to<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 />
is at the very core of this community. Please consider your generous response as, together, we address<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 />

Ei chhorn Haus<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 />
