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 />

• The Healing Clinic offers energy healing sessions<br />

from trained volunteers and is held on <strong>Mon</strong>day<br />
