My Favorite Time of Year
Like many others, spring is my favorite time of the
year. While I am excited that the days are beginning to
grow longer and warmer, the grass and trees begin to
come back to life and the flowers begin to bloom, my
favorite part of spring is sitting at the ballpark and
hearing those wonderful words that follow our
National Anthem, “Play Ball!”
For our family, spring begins the exciting season of
softball. Most of our evenings and weekends are spent
supporting our oldest daughter as a Harrison Raider,
cheering our 10-year-old at the recreation park, or
catching a Purdue game. As spring ball ends, we start
travel softball, which brings many exciting journeys.
This summer we will travel to Ohio, Atlanta, Colorado
and hopefully finish in California. Regardless of where
we travel, I am so blessed to enjoy this special time
with my husband and two daughters. I appreciate every
moment, every trip and every game as I have come to
realize they grow up way too fast! Happy Spring and
Play Ball!

Fresh Sealed
Salads
Thanks to fresh
produce in grocery
stores and farmers’
markets, salads are a
go-to meal this time
of year. Use a canning
jar to prepare a salad
that won’t be soggy by
lunchtime. Pour the
dressing in first, and
then add heavier
vegetables and
toppings, saving the
lightweight greens for
last. When you’re
ready to eat, just
empty the jar into a
bowl and stir. With
the lid sealed tightly,
the salad will stay
fresh in the fridge for
several days.
It’s Time for Senior Games
The 29th annual Senior Games will be
held June 8-12. Hosted and planned by
Area IV Agency, the Senior Games are
intended for men and women 55 years of
age and older who live in Benton,
Carroll, Clinton, Fountain, Montgomery,
Tippecanoe, Warren and White counties.
The games kick off on June 8 with
opening ceremonies. The festivities
include a torch lighting, a McDonald’s
breakfast and a keynote address by local
columnist John Norberg.
Throughout the week, seniors can
compete in a variety of different events
(see box to right for a list of events) to
win medals.
The week wraps up with closing
ceremonies at The Trails banquet facility.
A delicious home-cooked meal will be
served, special awards presented and the
torch will be extinguished.
The Senior Games encourage
physical activity, social wellness,
healthy competition and a healthy
lifestyle among all seniors. And,
with such a variety of events
available, there is something for
everyone.
Westminster wants residents to
participate in this fun event, so all
registration fees will be covered by
the Village. Transportation will
also be provided to many of
the events.
Registration forms, with
additional event details, will be
placed in resident mailboxes in
early May. Additional copies are
available at the Concierge desk.
To participate in the 2015
Senior Games, fill out a
registration form and return it to
the Concierge Desk by May 26.
Contact Jane Hahn in Life
Enrichment or Jordan Morrow in
Wellness with any questions.

One Size Fits All Performance
One Size Fits All, the local
improvisation group, performed for
residents on March 30. Improvisation
is a form of live theatre in which the
plot, characters and dialogue of a
game, scene or story are made up in
the moment. Often improv groups ask
for audience suggestions and
participation. One Size Fits All is the
longest running comedy show in the
history of Tippecanoe County.
Several Westminster residents
participated in One Size Fits All’s skits,
including Walt Dalsimer, Nancy
Nyberg, and DeDee Knaus. Sometimes
laughter is the best medicine!
Nancy Nyberg participates in a skit
regarding Paul Revere’s ride.
Dedee Knaus plays “Telephone.”
Upcoming Events to Look Forward to in May
Residents have several events to look forward to in May. Westminster’s very own
Village Voices perform on May 7 to celebrate the International Day of Prayer.
Other musical performances this month include the Hazelnuts String Band,
Purdue Glee Club, Nadya Dubikovsky students, and a performance by the
Brookston United Methodist Men singers (BUMMs).
Other events include an informational presentation by the Indiana Canine
Assistant Network (ICAN) on May 14. This is the group that provided Cindy
Wolaver with her assistance dog, Yash. Come learn about what ICAN does and
how they train their assistance dogs. Columbian Park Zoo will be back on May 26.
Fred Whitford will be here on May 28 to present “A Photo Tour of the Legacy of
Purdue Agricultural Extension.” As a Clinical Engagement Professor and the
Coordinator of the Purdue Pesticide Program, Fred focuses on botany and plant
pathology at Purdue.

April Newcomers’ Tea Was
a Success
The Newcomers’ Tea celebrated 15 of
our newest residents. Talented
Westminster resident Dick Jaeger
played the piano and the Myth Buster’s
Committee performed a wonderful skit.
The Newcomers’ Tea happens a few
times each year in order to welcome
and introduce the newest residents to
the rest of the Westminster community.
Thank you to everyone who attended!
Current Westminster residents with new
resident, John P. Reagan.
Gratitude was the sentiment of the
evening as Westminster honored its
fabulous volunteers on April 15.
Attendees enjoyed a lovely dinner and
music by the West Lafayette High
School String Quartet. Guest speaker,
Barbara Reif, shared encouraging
thoughts on “Volunteering ... Love in
Action.” Congratulations to this year’s
recipients!

Assisted Living Activities
Carol Paczolt leading Fit for Life in Assisted
Living.
Hello! We are excited to welcome Carol Paczolt to the
Assisted Living family! Carol began working in Assisted
Living in the middle of March. Prior to working in
Assisted Living, she was an outstanding Village Caregiver.
She is frequently seen smiling, laughing and spreading her
positivity to all those who surround her.
We have continued to enjoy our bird’s-eye view of the
construction; while the weather has been ever-changing,
the view is great! We reveled in spreading Easter-themed
Simple Favors to our friends throughout Westminster
Village. This month we listened to some mellow tunes by
many excellent musicians, appreciated a drive through the
countryside, and ate some delicious steak at Outback. We
are looking forward to the May flowers as they begin to
pop up from the ground. We wish everyone a peaceful
month!
Health Center Happenings
Luke Wahl performs a piano recital for Health
Center residents.
Health Center residents were busy in April. We
celebrated Easter with a social and treats. We enjoyed
classic movie Fridays with films such as State Fair and
My Man Godfrey. Residents and staff also spent some time
cooking together.
We were delighted by musical entertainers, including a
piano performance by Luke Wahl, Stan the Banjo-man,
Eric Foust, music and a sing-a-long with Nola. We also
enjoyed music therapy with Stephen. Residents enjoyed
playing a variety of musical instruments in small and large
groups, and socializing with each other.
Residents of the Health Center have welcomed back
their beloved ducks. They are scouting the perfect location
for their eggs when the time arrives. Be on the lookout for
ducklings and warmer weather in the coming months.
