Vivante Voice January 2016
January 2016 Happy New Year! 2016 marks the beginning of our third year as a community. Each year has been full of successes, challenges, and opportunities to support one another and grow together as residents, family and team members. This past year we have said goodbye to several cherished friends and welcomed many new ones. The memories, good times and laughter we have shared, and those just waiting to be made in the upcoming year bring a great sense of fondness and excitement. Together, we will continue to change lives and build relationships. I am so thankful for Nexus Development, Vivante’s generous, supportive, and innovative owner. Curt Olson & Cory Alder, with the support of the entire Nexus team, built Vivante on the Coast to give back to those that were the backbone of our local community. Our collective 2016 resolution is to stay true to our Mission. We will continue to strive to create an environment of unparalleled luxury and comfort for those who call Vivante home. 2016 is off to a fresh start, filled with new and exciting opportunities to live life to the fullest every day. In addition, please consider getting involved in supporting one or two of the local charities Vivante will be supporting along wih you, our wonderful and generous residents. Please review the Special Events & Did You Know columns in addition to the calendar of each Vivante Voice. We strive to provide a robust and resident-driven variety of educational, recreational, and relationship building opportunities. Your suggestions for the calendar are welcome and appreciated so please do continue to share them. Our first Sunday Brunch of the year will be on January 10th. Don’t forget to invite your family and friends to join you and make a reservation with the host station in the Mélange or by calling extension #4712. Let us help you keep those resolutions you will undoubtedly make to exercise more, start a healthy eating plan, make new friends, or learn a new skill. Research shows simply wanting to change is not enough; you need to make it stick. One way to do this is to share your resolution with others. We would be delighted to help you set such goals and put an action plan together to help achieve them. Whatever your New Year goals, give yourself some time to make them a reality–more time than you may have planned on, actually. While most people cling to the widespread belief that new habits can be formed in 21 days, new research is suggesting that we need a longer timetable. One recent study found it took participants an average of 66 days to do something different, and stick with it. Cheers to the New Year and all the wonderful things to come! This gentleman was born in Manhattan’s lower East Side and was raised in a cold water flat that had a bathtub in the kitchen. His parents were from Russia and Austria. He married in 1960 after meeting his wife Loretta at a singles synagogue group. They both loved to dance and that “sealed the deal” between them. Out of high school, he was enlisted in the Army Air Force Technical School and was trained as a Radio Operators Mechanic. He fought on the front lines in World War II, being awarded several medals including the American Service Medal and Victory Medal. He served for three years and was discharged honorably in 1946. After the service he worked as a women’s lingerie cutter, making $12 a week. He went on into a career in theatrical lighting, setting up broadway stages and venues for entertainers like Tony Bennett at the Waldorf Astoria. You may have seen him dancing at a few of our happy hours lately as that is one of his favorite things to do. He and his wife lived in New York and Florida, and enjoyed traveling the world together. Prior to moving to California he was the sole caregiver for his wife for the seven years before she passed away. He enjoys Vivante and shares that his goal is to bring people together with what he calls the universal language of music and dance. Who can this interesting fellow be? He is sometimes referred to as “sweetie pie”. Paula Snyder Dorothy Gibbons Janice Simmons Mattie Futrell This month’s newcomer lunch will be held on January 12th at 11:30 in the Oak Room. Please RSVP with the Concierge desk or the Activities office. 1640 Monrovia Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627 • 949.629.2100 • www.vivanteliving.com • Lic # 306004582 Our featured residents this month are Jack and Mary Reed, who where among the first residents to make Vivante their new home. On the night of their first dinner here, Jack sat with Cory Alder, one of Vivante’s founders, who asked Jack about his past. Jack mentioned his work at Seaboard Finance in Los Angeles. Cory asked Jack if he knew Gene Alder (Cory’s father). It turns out that Gene was Jack’s boss! What a small world! Jack was raised in the Lynwood area of L.A. County and, although he never completed high school or got a college degree, graduated from Western State University, College of Law in 1972. Mary was raised in Fullerton and Placentia and had completed her A.A. degree in Library Tech Training at Fullerton Junior College in 1969. She immediately began working at the Technical Information Center at Union Oil Research Center in Brea and continued to take college courses at night. She had always planned to go to USC Graduate School of Library Science, after getting her B.A. in English. Jack and Mary met in September 1970. Just five months later, Jack took a bad fall on the job. His doctor told him he needed a cervical spine fusion or he would be paralyzed from the neck down. In March 1971, at age 37, he had the surgery and came out of it paralyzed from the neck down for six days. He spent a month at Long Beach Memorial Rehabilitation, re-learning how to walk. At the time, Jack was a self-employed, Jack & Mary Reed licensed investigator. His clients were major insurance companies who hired him to film people suspected of faking claims. When he was released from the hospital, Mary chose to move in and take care of Jack because he could barely walk and couldn’t drive. Jack offered her a job working in his business at night and on weekends so that she could go back to college full time. Mary graduated in two years from CSU Fullerton in June 1973. She then passed the Graduate Record Exam and was all set to go to USC Graduate School of Library Science. However, she and Jack got married that September, and she began to work full time as a bookkeeper/Girl Friday in his investigation business. After many years of continued growth in the business, traveling around the world for conventions and meetings, Jack got ‘restless’, as there were seemingly no more mountains to climb and their business was running like clockwork. Jack had read an article in the Wall Street Journal in which IBM stated that they would have a computer in every home by the year 2000. He determined that computerization was indeed the wave of the future and came up with the idea of purchasing ALL the public record information from ALL the courts in California so that he could resell the information to other licensed investigators and attorneys in a digital format. At that time, different courthouses kept their records on microfiche, microfilm and even hand-written in ledgers. It was a monumental task to gather all the data from each and every court in all 58 counties, but he did it. A few years later, he decided to go national, and purchased all of the public record data from all courts in all 50 states! At that time, his was the only privately-held company who had access to this data. Jack traveled back and forth to Washington DC to testify before Congress on the issue of the right to privacy vs. what was legitimately ‘public record’. He reasoned the following in front of the courts: What if you wanted to hire a banker or stock broker and couldn’t check into their background to make sure that they had never been convicted of theft or fraud? Or, what if you wanted to hire a nanny or a grammar school teacher, and you couldn’t check to see if they had ever been convicted of child molestation? By 1999 this “Information” business had turned into a multi-million-dollar company. He and Mary decided to sell it, before it got too big to be bought out. They retired to their vacation home in the Naples, Florida area, returning to their Orange County home for an occasional vacation. Now living at Vivante, they are close to Jack’s grandson and family, and Mary’s sister and family. In December, we suffered the sudden and unexpected loss of two of our beloved residents; Harry Rawlins and Sara Scroggs. We will miss both of them terribly and send out or sincerest condolences to their family and friends. Harry Rawlins Sara Scroggs Vivante’s residents hold a meeting once a month to discuss community issues in the absence of staff. You are invited to ask questions, make suggestions, speak freely with Council Members and our Ombudsman. Staff is invited to join at the Council’s request and may share updates within the Community, answer questions and more. The meeting is located in the CRO’s Nest. You are encouraged to attend the next meeting on Wednesday, January 13th at 2:00 p.m. Our current council members are: Don Borthwick, Georgiana McLeod, Bob Woodward, Catherine Broker, Peggy Gordon, and Gay Purcilly. If you have an interest in being a part of the Council, please see Activities or call at 949 - 629 - 2100, extension #4713. We would like to thank Shirley Sullivan and Mr. & Mrs. Hulett for the holiday presentation of short films created by Ralph Hulett, Shirley’s ex-husband. The beautiful artwork and animated card collection was a real treat. Thank you for sharing such special films and stories! Thank you to our residents who so kindly opened up their homes over the holidays to share their décor and hospitality with others in the community. We loved visiting the apartments of Betty Hinson, Molly Doughty and Mary Neely. If you would have an interest in sharing your apartment for a happy hour with other residents, the Activity Department is pleased to provide the appetizers, treats, wine, set up and clean up on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. (Please contact Activities if interested) A huge thank you to Dori Kagan, our Vivante Vocals leader, Catherine Titus, our accompanist, Sally, our coordinator and all of our wonderful singers. The two concerts performed in The Shores and Social Grounds were beautiful. You may view some of the concert on the Vivante facebook page. Dori Kagan, who is Marvin and Libby’s daughter, will be leading the Vivante Vocal Group each Monday in the Ivory Lounge area at 1:30 p.m. Please join us in the group or come and listen. Dori will also be offering an “Art for the Brain” class each Wednesday, beginning January 6th at 1:30 p.m. in the Social Grounds area. All supplies will be provided. Coming Soon - We have quite a few that are enjoying the blackjack and poker games. We have ordered two new tables and will be receiving them shortly. Thank you for joining us in the weekly games. Regina Cole, Shores Program Director Regina Cole, our Shores Program Director, joined the Vivante Family in January 2015. She was born and raised in Diamond Bar, California and is the youngest of four children. She always believed that she was a “surprise” since her three older siblings are six, eight and nine years older than she is, respectively. Regina was a joy to her family and was always an active little girl, dancing tap, jazz and ballet. She also took piano, organ and clarinet lessons. Her most favorite activity was playing soccer, so she decided to focus on the sport, playing competitively from age five to nineteen. She attended San Francisco State University, where she played soccer her freshman year, but then decided to focus on her studies and graduated with a BS in Kinesiology, emphasizing in Exercise Science and Fitness. Regina knew she wanted to help others and was most interested in sports injuries and rehabilitation. While working at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City, she had the opportunity to not only work with injured athletes, but also to teach cardiac rehabilitation classes with older adults in the community. This is where Regina fell in love with the senior population and accepted a new position as the Wellness and Exercise Director for Coventry Park Assisted Living–a senior living community in San Francisco. She worked at the community for seven years and, while doing so, obtained her MA degree in Gerontology. Regina met the love of her life in 2003 and together they have two beautiful children, Jalen (age 5) and Kianna (age 3.5). In 2013, they left San Francisco and moved to Southern California to be closer to family. Regina and her family currently reside in Huntington Beach. It may not be San Francisco, but they truly enjoy the weather, living near the ocean and, most importantly being close to their loved ones. We are very excited for Regina and her family as they anticipate the arrival of their third child in May.
