Protecting Our
National Treasures
From purple mountain
majesties to lush, fertile
swamplands, America is home
to more than 400 parks and sites
that offer visitors an up-closeand-personal look at stunning
wildlife, dazzling flora, unique
natural wonders and historic
treasures. On Aug. 25, the
country will celebrate the
100th birthday of the National
Park Service, the organization
that makes the enjoyment of
these places possible.
A bureau of the U.S.
Department of the Interior,
the Park Service comprises
more than 20,000 employees
and 220,000 volunteers who
work to fulfill the mission to
preserve “the natural and
cultural resources and values
of the National Park System
for the enjoyment, education
and inspiration of this and
future generations.”
From a practical standpoint,
this work entails rangers who
lead tours and help visitors
stay safe; crew members who
maintain, clean and repair
the sites; and archaeologists,
historians and ecologists who
continue to discover more about
America’s land and history in
order to share it with the world.

Celebrate Summer
Although it’s true that August
doesn’t have any official
holidays, there are plenty of
moments to celebrate. You can
create your own “Me” Day or
observe American Adventures
Month, Jerry Garcia’s birthday
(mmm, a scoop of Cherry Garcia
would sure hit the spot),
Happiness Happens Month,
Work Like a Dog Day (Aug. 1),
National Night Out (the first
Tuesday in August), or the
premiere of Candid Camera.
Whichever you choose, we hope
your day is one filled with joy,
wonder, and laughter.

Country Corner Store located

Olympic Dreams in Rio
From Aug. 5 through Aug. 21,
more than 10,000 athletes will
gather in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
to compete in the 2016 Summer
Olympics, formally known as
the Games of the XXXI
Olympiad. These are the first
Olympic Games to be held in
South America.
Events will take place in four
zones across Rio: Barra,
Copacabana, Deodoro and
Maracanã. Barra will be the site
of the largest number of events,
including golf, which has been
added as an Olympic sport after
being absent from the games for
112 years.
At the last Summer Olympics,
the U.S. won the most medals.
In Rio, they will compete
against 205 other countries in
306 medal events. With
42 different sports, ranging
from archery to gymnastics to
volleyball, this year’s games are
sure to provide plenty of
opportunities for victory, as well
as exciting entertainment for
spectators and viewers around
the world.
Bowling League
Summer Heat
Lorraine P. Scored 2 strikes!
While many of us love
summer weather, extreme heat is
particularly dangerous for those
65 and older. Beat the heat this
month by drinking plenty of
fluids, eating fruits with high
water content and avoiding the
outdoors during the high
temperatures.
If you spend time outside in
the summer heat, remember to
take frequent breaks in a cool
place. If you’re feeling sluggish,
drink a glass of water. Fatigue is
one of the first signs of
dehydration.
We have been very impressed
with the bowling skills our
residents have shown us lately!
In “Games with Peter” we
challenge the residents in many
different group games but
bowling is certainly a favorite.
Last time we played we had a
total of 8 strikes from our
bowlers! Keep up the good
work!

Optimal Living Update:
Resident Spotlight Award
We are proud to announce
our latest Resident Spotlight
award winner is Joan Swartz.
This award is given to a resident
who has participated in skilled
therapy, and wellness classes in
order to achieve functional
gains.
When Joan returned to All
American in January, she had
difficulty getting out of a chair,
walking on her own, and
required assistance with her
morning and evening routines.
After a lot of hard work with the
Optimal Living Team, Joan is
now back, to her independent
self. She has progressed through
the wellness program, starting
off in the “Sit and Fit,” and
advancing to the high level
“Strength and Balance” Class.
We are so proud of her
determination and amazing
recovery.

Stories of the Old West have
captivated audiences for
decades, first in books, then
radio and movies, and later on
television. Saddle up for a look
at some popular TV Westerns
of yesteryear.
“Hopalong Cassidy.” It was
1949 when Hopalong Cassidy
rode in from the big screen and
became the star of TV’s first
Western series. Although Hoppy
dressed in black, he was a good
guy, along with his trusty white
horse, Topper.
“Death Valley Days.” This
radio show became a TV series
in 1952 and was unique because
it featured stories based on
actual events from Old West
days in Death Valley, Calif. Its
episodes were introduced by
hosts, which included Stanley
Andrews (the Old Ranger) and
Ronald Reagan.
“Gunsmoke.” For two
decades beginning in 1955,
viewers of this frontier drama
tuned in to follow the lives of
Dodge City, Kan., Marshal Matt
Dillon, his deputy, Festus, and
townsfolk Doc and Miss Kitty.
“Gunsmoke” is often the
most celebrated of the TV
Western genre.

Women Lending
Their Wings
With World War II raging
overseas, the high demand for
male combat pilots prompted
the U.S. Army Air Forces to
enlist the skills of a civilian
group of aviators: women.
In September 1942, two
programs—the Women’s
Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron, led
by Nancy Harkness Love, and
the Women’s Flying Training
Detachment, led by Jacqueline
Cochran—were formed. On
Aug. 5, 1943, they merged into
the Women Airforce Service
Pilots, or WASP.
Initially, the primary job of
WASPs was to transport military
aircraft from factories, but they
also served as flight instructors
and test pilots, and towed targets
for gunnery practice.
WASPs were the first women
in history to fly U.S. military
aircraft and piloted nearly
every type of plane. In total,
the program graduated
1,074 women.
WASP received formal
military recognition in 1977,
shortly after the U.S. military
began admitting women as
pilots. In 2010, the surviving
WASPs were awarded the
Congressional Gold Medal.
Remember Me?
Dog Days of
Summer Week!
This month we are nearing
the end of summer. We need to
go out with a bang, and to do
that we are celebrating with a
week full of fun and exciting
activities!
To kick off the week we will
be taking a destination walk
down to old Plymouth Harbor.
We can take in the beautiful
views while we get our exercise
in for the day! Also look forward
to different refreshing
summertime drinks every day
for happy hour! There will also
be 4 socials during the week:
Luau social, ice cream social,
Hawaiian dance party, and a
drive-in movie night where we
will watch Elvis Presley in Blue
Hawaii on the big screen. Lastly,
look forward to our Wednesday
night high stakes bingo game
where the winner will walk away
with $10! Get ready for a week
full of celebrations!
Much like its scenic beaches
and hula dancers, Don Ho was
an iconic symbol of Hawaii.
Here are a few high notes in the
life of the island singer.
• He was born Aug. 13, 1930,
in Honolulu.
• He enlisted in the U.S. Air
Force in 1954 and trained
as a pilot.
• In 1960, he took over his
family’s lounge, named
Honey’s, where he
began performing.
• Tourists who flocked to the
new 50th state enjoyed his
baritone voice, easygoing
style and repertoire of
songs, jokes and stories
of Hawaiian culture.
• He was a headliner at
Duke’s, a club owned
by the legendary surfer
Duke Kahanamoku.
• After recording several
albums, Ho’s biggest hit
came in 1966 with the
breezy ballad “Tiny
Bubbles,” which became
his trademark song.
• His other popular
standards included
“Pearly Shells” and “I’ll
Remember You.”
• The entertainer earned the
nickname “the ambassador
of aloha” and was a
regular guest on many
TV variety shows.
• In the mid-1970s, he
hosted his own TV variety
show, filmed on
Waikiki Beach.
