A New Look for<br />

The Lamplighter<br />

In our continuing efforts to<br />

keep The Lamplighter current,<br />

we are proud to unveil the<br />

new look for the masthead<br />

and front page. We’ve also<br />

shortened the name from<br />

The <strong>Arbor</strong> Lamplighter to<br />

The Lamplighter. We hope<br />

you like the new look and,<br />

as always, welcome your<br />

comments and suggestions.<br />

Margaret Felts,<br />

Editor<br />

Some time ago, a phenomenon<br />

based on one simple tenet swept<br />

the nation. The catchphrase<br />

was “random acts <strong>of</strong> kindness,”<br />

and the idea behind it was to<br />

anonymously do a good deed<br />

for somebody else, whether you<br />

knew them or not. In the wake<br />

<strong>of</strong> recent senseless tragedies, the<br />

idea has once again taken hold <strong>of</strong><br />

the country.<br />

This month, when we celebrate<br />

love on Valentine’s Day and<br />

acknowledge sacrifice as Lent<br />

begins, your Recreation and<br />

Wellness department has<br />

designated February 11 - 17 as<br />

“<strong>Random</strong> <strong>Acts</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kindness</strong>” week.<br />

Suggestions are listed inside, but<br />

truthfully, you already know what<br />

to do - as your mother always<br />

said, “Be nice.”<br />

<strong>Black</strong> <strong>History</strong> <strong>Month</strong><br />

John Wesley<br />

John Wesley, founder <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Methodist movement in<br />

America, encouraged random<br />

acts <strong>of</strong> kindness, too. Here’s<br />

how he put it:<br />

“Do all the good you can.<br />

By all the means you can.<br />

In all the ways you can.<br />

In all the places you can.<br />

At all the times you can.<br />

To all the people you can.”<br />

There are plenty <strong>of</strong> opportunities to learn more about the contributions<br />

African-Americans have made to our country and to our world. Jim Shertzer<br />

brings us a movie series featuring Oscar-winning black actors and actresses;<br />

guest lecturer Tonia Walker from Winston-Salem State University will speak<br />

about women in sports; and we will visit the International Civil Rights Museum<br />

in Greensboro.


“ELITE” is an acronym for “Easy Living Including the<br />

Goodwill Donations<br />

Made Easy<br />

At a recent Resident Council meeting, a<br />

request was made to designate a storage<br />

closet in Berrier as a drop-<strong>of</strong>f for Goodwill donations.<br />

After conducting a resident poll, and after thoughtful<br />

discussion, the Council recommended that a drop-<strong>of</strong>f<br />

bin be placed in an area convenient for everyone: the<br />

covered parking lot in Stockton.<br />

If you need any help at all in taking your donations to<br />

this site, call Emile in Facility Services, ext. 1239, and she<br />

will be happy to assist you. The residents <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong><br />

have supported Goodwill for many years, and the Council<br />

is proud that the legacy continues.<br />

March Look-ahead<br />

Music <strong>of</strong> Maine<br />

and the British Isles<br />

Tuesday, March 5<br />

7:00 pm, Fellowship Hall<br />

Castlebay, featuring Julia<br />

Lane on Celtic harp among<br />

other instruments, and Fred<br />

Gosbee on guitar and Irish<br />

flute, is back for an evening<br />

<strong>of</strong> traditional music from<br />

Maine and the British Isles.<br />

This unexpected pairing<br />

isn’t quite so surprising<br />

once you consider both areas are steeped in life<br />

near the sea, albeit on different continents; a nautical<br />

theme understandably runs through much <strong>of</strong><br />

each culture’s folklore and music.<br />

Julia Lane studied classical and flamenco<br />

guitar and, after discovering the Celtic<br />

harp, became an award-winning player<br />

<strong>of</strong> it. Fred Gosbee plays classical and<br />

12-string guitar, violin, viola, and the<br />

Irish flute. He learned traditional songs<br />

from his family, who worked as lumbermen<br />

in the forests <strong>of</strong> Maine.<br />

Maximize Balance,<br />

Minimize Falls<br />

Do you worry about falling?<br />

As aging occurs, many people<br />

develop a fear <strong>of</strong> falling,<br />

which unfortunately <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

leads to a self-imposed slowdown<br />

<strong>of</strong> activities. Conquer<br />

your uneasiness by coming to our Matter <strong>of</strong> Balance<br />

class. The eight-week series begins in March<br />

and emphasizes practical ways to avoid falls. Janice<br />

Lutz-Vanhoy and Misty Jarvis Decker are certified<br />

instructors and will be the leaders. Look for Ddails<br />

in the March Lamplighter or call Janice Lutz-Vanhoy<br />

at 748-4646.<br />

Shred Personal Documents<br />

Shredding is an effective way to discard papers containing<br />

information that should remain private. For<br />

your convenience, a container specifically for this<br />

purpose is in the Computer Room. An outside company<br />

specializing in safe document disposal comes<br />

in to shred and remove the box’s contents.<br />

For non-personal papers please use the recycling<br />

bin in the hallway entrance near the Servery.<br />

Sunday, March 17<br />
