Read Anything Good Lately?<br />
Coy Carpenter always has a book – electronic<br />
or otherwise – with him. “Reading lowers my<br />
stress level,” he explains. Coy’s favorite genres<br />
are British detective stories (the Inspector<br />
Banks series by Peter Robinson); some historical<br />
novels (award-winning Wolf Hall by Hillary<br />
Mandel); and science fiction (any book by<br />
George R.R. Martin.) Right now he’s reading The<br />
Dithering by Kim Robinson, a futuristic story of<br />
life in 2312. Coy’s advice about reading? “You’re<br />
under no obligation to finish a book if you don’t<br />
like it. There are too many wonderful books out<br />
there to to do that.”<br />
Eleanor Walker loves to sit in Alibi Café with<br />
a soft drink and a good book. She’s got plenty,<br />
having just discovered Goodwill and their stockpile<br />
of books for $1.25 each, which she donates<br />
to <strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong> after she’s read them. “If I could<br />
have carried more, I would’ve bought ‘em!” she<br />
exclaims. She likes mysteries by Nelson DeMille<br />
and Ridley Pearson, and is currently reading the<br />
latest in the Anne Pigeon series by Nevada Barr.<br />
Eleanor’s favorite read, though, is Margaret<br />
Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind. “There’ll never<br />
be another Scarlett,” she smiles.<br />
A newspaper man who moved 27 times during<br />
his career, Bill McIlwain found stability in reading<br />
– and writing - books. Today Bill frequents<br />
the library in Asbury Place or re-reads favorites<br />
in his collection. Right now he’s tackling The<br />
Swamp, by Michael Grunwald, a history of the<br />
Everglades where Bill lived as a child. “I read<br />
for the pleasure of it,” says Bill. “There may be<br />
more in a book than I really want to know, so<br />
I may skim some parts. I don’t get hung up in<br />
being too intellectual about it.” Bill loves Elmore<br />
Leonard (“he’s tough, exciting, about the best”)<br />
and William Faulkner (“his writing is immensely<br />
impressive”) but his favorite author is John<br />
Steinback, whom he met once in New York.<br />
“The Grapes of Wrath is about my favorite<br />
book. I’ve read it at least three times,” muses<br />
Bill. “There are a lot of good books out there,<br />
but somehow I keep dipping into Steinback.”<br />
David Piner started reading in earnest when<br />
he turned 50, drawn mainly towards spiritual<br />
writings. The genre that has captivated him,<br />
however, is that of biography. “I came to the<br />
conclusion that I shouldn’t die without knowing<br />
something about George Washington. I read<br />
two books on him, which led to one on Hamilton,<br />
two on Jefferson, one on Madison - the<br />
list goes on.” Recently David finished the Steve<br />
Jobs biography, finding much in it that spoke<br />
to his own work. “Looking at lives from birth<br />
to death inspires reflections on our own lives,”<br />
says David. “It’s fascinating how some people<br />
accomplish so much and others so little in the<br />
same amount of time on earth.”<br />
Bert Sanders has at least two books going on<br />
at the same time, not surprising since he considered<br />
pursuing a doctorate in English. One<br />
book is work-related, while the other is always<br />
modern fiction. At the moment, his vocational<br />
selection is Revelations by Elaine Pagels, (“just<br />
fantastic, very readable”), while his “fun” book<br />
is John Irving’s latest, Last Night at Twisted<br />
River. “I read everything and everybody,” says<br />
Bert. “The Life of Pi is a wonderful read as is<br />
The Pilgrim. I love Anne Lamott, John McPhee,<br />
Thomas Pynchon - there’s nothing I don’t like<br />
because I love words. When I’m in a bookstore,<br />
I feel like I’m in church.”<br />
<strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong> has a large book collection in our<br />
libraries across campus . Contact resident James<br />
Jarrell with questions.

7:00 pm ROB MURDOCK, JAZZ MUSICIAN<br />
AND VOCALIST<br />
Fellowship Hall<br />
A century ago, a musical art form burst forth from the<br />
bayous of New Orleans and the speakeasies of New<br />
York. Jazz, a purely American sound, is heard today all<br />
over the world. From traditional standards to blues<br />
and bebop, jazz is no one style or pattern; instead,<br />
it is improvisational, stemming from the heart of<br />
the composer and each interpreting musician. Rob<br />
Murdock, a master of the medium for 30 years, plays<br />
trumpet and flugelhorn like Chet Baker and sings like<br />
Harry Connick, Jr. He has played with the Tommy<br />
Dorsey ensemble and with the Pied Pipers Big Band,<br />
whose original members worked with Ol’ Blue Eyes<br />
himself, Frank Sinatra. A consummate entertainer,<br />
Rob has a wonderful sense of humor which, when<br />
combined with his musical talent, creates a sparkling,<br />
witty, and warm show.<br />

Over wine and cheese, there’ll be talk about adventures<br />
along the way and a chance to share stories<br />
about beach trips, past, present, and future.<br />
7:00 pm THE TRES AMIGOS<br />
Fellowship Hall<br />
The Tres Amigos are an American band with a sound<br />
and style all their own. Careening between three-part<br />
harmony and bursts of instrumental improvisation,<br />
The Amigos deliver earnest, often comic originals and<br />
original takes on a range of classics, all tightly arranged<br />
to suit the group’s unique mix of alto sax, accordion,<br />
acoustic guitar, and hollerin’ voices. The Tres<br />
Amigos are UNCSA alumni Justin Poindexter (guitar),<br />
Eddie Barbash (washboard and sax), and Sam Reider<br />
(accordion). We welcome them back, with a special<br />
shout-out to Justin, who is resident Gladys Poindexter’s<br />
grandson. Learn more about the band on their<br />

10:30 am OLYMPIC SUMMER GAMES COVERAGE<br />
Fellowship Hall<br />
Just another Friday in <strong>July</strong>, right? NO WAY – it’s opening<br />
day of the 2012 Summer Olympics! After our<br />
exercise class (some call that a mini Olympics) the<br />
TV will be on in Fellowship Hall for continuous coverage<br />
of the games. Interesting factoid: “Citius, Altius,<br />
Fortius” (“Faster, Higher, Stronger”) was established<br />
as the official motto of the Olympic Games by a Baron<br />
Pierre de Coubertin, who, believing that “athletes<br />
need freedom of excess,” said the words aptly described<br />
people who dared to try to break records.

Stay Hydrated this Summer<br />
Water, which makes up 75% of a human’s body<br />
composition, is literally the source of life. That’s why<br />
it’s even more important in the hot and humid days of<br />
summer to stay hydrated. We each need six to eight<br />
cups of fluid every day to function properly; the more<br />
active you are, the more you may need. Steps to prevent<br />
dehydration are:<br />
• Carry a water bottle<br />
• Eat lots of fresh fruit, especially melons<br />
• Add a squirt of lemon to your beverage<br />
• Avoid consuming large quantities of caffeinated<br />
drinks<br />
• Limit intake of alcoholic beverages<br />
Common signs of dehydration:<br />
• Headache and/or unusual fatigue<br />
• Decreased urination<br />
• Dizziness upon standing<br />
• Nausea<br />
• Decreased appetite<br />
If you exhibit any of these signs, call or visit the Clinic<br />
or the nurse manager. As always, check with your doctor<br />
before starting something new.<br />
Howland, a concert pianist and music professor at<br />
Wake Forest, successfully tries her hand at filmmaking<br />
in this documentary about the great pianist, Frederic<br />
Chopin. Serving as director, producer, co-writer and<br />
musician, she also collaborated with professionals at<br />
UNCSA throughout the movie’s creation.

Energy Healing<br />
Energy healing is a term used to identify alternative<br />
therapies that address our natural mind/body/spirit<br />
energy. Relaxing and non-invasive, energy healing<br />
relieves stress and anxiety and promotes the body’s<br />
ability to heal itself. Therapies include healing touch,<br />
reiki, and therapeutic touch. <strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong> offers two<br />
energy healing options:<br />
• Private appointments allow for a more personalized<br />
and extensive treatment and are held <strong>Mon</strong>day<br />
and Wednesday, 2 to 4 pm, in<br />
Asbury Place and Fitzgerald Health Center<br />
SPAS. Each 40-minute session is $20.00 and is<br />
conducted by Patricia Suggs, certified Healing<br />
Touch Practitioner. Call Davana, ext. 1904, to<br />
schedule an appointment.<br />
• The Healing Clinic offers energy healing sessions<br />
from trained volunteers and is held on <strong>Mon</strong>day<br />
