Cover Story
Flower Show Lucky Streak
W
AS it the luck of the Irish this
year? Maybe, maybe not. But,
there was no denying that there were a
number of happy accidents that occurred
at “Cirque Du Bloom.” Beyond
acting as a wonderful community
connector offering purposeful creative
activities, the flower show also serves
as an auxiliary fundraiser, enhances
relationships and wellness, and opens
our amazing community to thousands of
visitors. Perhaps that is why good things
surround this event. Here are three
lucky things that happened this year.
The first was the wonderful
taxidermy animals loaned to us by Dale
& Pat Ziegler (Lorraine Ziegler’s kids).
A coyote, caracal cat, bobcat, three bears
and a lion were all part of the exhibit.
The star was the ten-foot Kodiak bear
dressed in a tutu. Children were in awe
of his size, many laughed at his attire,
and, few were disappointed that we
dressed him in a tutu. There was no
doubt that the animals captured a lot of
attention.
The second happy accident occurred
thanks to our Thrift Shop. Just days
before opening, the perfect size teddy
bear arrived to enhance the last circus
wagon. The original idea was that the
cage would be empty with the bars bent
open giving the audience the suggestion
that a dancing bear was loose in the
room. When the teddy bear arrived we
changed our mind. See the photo above.
Many, many things are always
“planned” for the main exhibit, but
obviously not all come to fruition. The
third happy accident was illustrating
the three ring circus. The original intent
was to create red rings around each
of the show exhibits. We simply ran

amount of talent at Peter Becker.” ~Dock Woods Resident
out of time to build them. But as luck
would have it, in the flowers donated by
Meadowbrook Farms, were lots of red
petunias. We normally see just a few red
flowers, so we were ecstatic. We circled
the last three sets with red petunias!
Sincere appreciation goes out to
the 17 sponsors, 78 advertisers and 11
display partners that supported this
event. The “Major Sponsors” this year
were Home Helpers, Sanford Alderfer
Companies, Delcrest Medical Services,
N. F. Landis & Son Inc., I.T. Landis
& Son, Inc. and Prelude Services.
Please consider doing business with
the organizations that help. You can

Local Fifth Grader’s Baby Elephant Gets Adopted
STILL HELPING THE KIDS: MacKenzie Dove,
a fifth grader at Salford Hills Elementary
loves elephants. During a school project, she
learned about the mistreatment of retired
circus elephants and became an advocate.
She began creating a 3-D baby elephant
sculpture to help raise money to support an
elephant sanctuary located in Tennessee.
When she approached the Flower Show
Gang to request that her baby elephant
sculpture (and cause) join our circus, we
quickly accepted.

Volunteers Add Color to Our Lives
VERYDAY volunteers at PBC perform tasks all over the campus. They keep the place going! One of the most
unusual tasks on record was painting the CEO with squirt guns. The group above painted Carol Berster into one
of the flower show backdrops. Why? Because we like to have a little fun around here. Here is the list of this year’s
volunteers. If you volunteer and are not listed here, please accept our apology and contact Cindy Hollis, so we can adjust
our records. To each and every volunteer, we hope you feel appreciated. v

The Brand New and Somewhat Icy
Senior Winter Olympic Games
W
HETHER you liked the weather this winter or not, you are
sure to enjoy this story about the hottest event of the winter
season. It included throwing snowballs, ice fishing, bobsledding,
and a whole array of indoor winter sports. The event was a first on
campus and was the brainstorm of Joe Monserrat, Life Enrichment
Coordinator. The idea was to build awareness and enthusiasm for
the real Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. And it worked.
Giving vigor to the event was the Life Enrichment team
and the enthusiasm of our community members. It began with
official opening ceremonies on January 9th in the “Orchid Terrace
Stadium” highlighted with a parade of the nations (community
members), special performances and the lighting of the torch.
It ended two weeks later on January 23rd with the closing
ceremony which included a celebration of the kind of achievements
that could never truly be represented by an olympic medal.
According to Carol Berster, “I was especially pleased at how the
entire community came together in friendly competition. New
acquaintances have been born in hopes that they continue.” There
was even talk of the 2016 Summer Senior Olympics. Stay tuned. v

Welcome Home
Earth Day Features Honeybees
T
HERE’S no need to fear, the
honeybees are here. On Earth
Day we welcomed our first bee hive to
the community. It is located beyond
the berm near Maplewood Estates.
They are here thanks to the efforts of
the community’s Green Team. Most us are familiar with
honeybees. They are gentle creatures
that mind their own business of
making honey. To help us understand
a little more we hosted beekeeper
Walter Fitzgerald to teach us about
these highly organized societies. He
assured us that there is no reason to
Where for Art Thou Romeos

be nervous about our new neighbors.
“They are not aggressive like wasps or
ground bees, they will not sting unless
they are protecting their hive from an
intruder or are unduly provoked.”
If you are wondering why a
retirement community would take on
such a task consider this: honeybee
colonies are seriously on the decline.
The cause is not known for sure, long
winters, mites, pesticides and colony
collapse disorder are all threats. Why
should we care? Honeybees are more
crucial than we may think. They are
responsible for pollinating most plant

life and over 100 vegetable and fruit
crops. No pollination, no food. It’s
that simple.
One of the easiest ways to
help rejuvenate the declining
bee population, the Green Team
discovered, is to share our campus
with them. According to Cindy
Hollis, “We have the perfect place for
the bees and it is the environmentally
responsible thing to do.”
As an added benefit the
community will be sharing in the
honey stores, provided the hive
thrives. Sounds like a sweet deal.v
