MONTH OF AUGUST LOOKING AHEAD… HAPPY

Transcription

MONTH OF AUGUST
The saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun,”
must be true because the summer is “flying by” and
it’s already August! After several delays, Terry Herron,
Rick Radcliff and Penny Lynn Smith will be here
to present “Johnny Mercer—His Life and Music.”
Music seems to be the theme of the month as we also
host a Happy Hour with Bill and Betsy Peterson;
and Clarinetist, Philip Lipton makes a return visit to
perform a before-dinner concert to include classical,
jazz and selections of Gershwin on his clarinet. The
Jane Austen series continues and Judy Barton will
be here with her popular Carte Boutique. Be sure to
mark your calendar for any or all of these activities.
LOOKING
AHEAD…
Looking ahead, we are planning two
very exciting trips in the months to
come. A four-day, three-night trip to New York to
celebrate the Christmas holiday and a cruise to the
Dutch Islands in the Caribbean. Life Long Learning
has scheduled two very informative lecture series for
the fall; Local Authors and a session on Neurology.
Halloween will not be spooky this year, as we will
present the musical show, “Doo-wop Diner” dinner
theater. We are asking everyone to dress in the style
of the 1950s. The Food and Beverage Department
will be serving up Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, French
Fries, Malts and Milk Shakes to enjoy before the
show. Our Annual Christmas Party will be held
on Thursday, December 17, and we are welcoming
back Dave Masteller and his musicians. We’re so
happy he will be with us to carry on our New Year’s
Eve’s musical tradition. Looking far ahead to 2016,
I have reserved first-call tickets to the Broadway
touring company’s Carole King’s Beautiful at the
Fox Theater in Atlanta and also at the theater in
Charlotte; this will allow me to choose the theater
that has the best seats available.
ATTENTION: Be on the lookout for an exciting
presentation planned for September. Dr. Harold
Horowitz will be describing his experiences and
challenges as an entrepreneur and President
of Socratec, Inc. His company’s mission was to
introduce technology into traditional classrooms
armed with only blackboard and flip charts. The
company’s objectives included finding creative ways
to improve student performance and retention.
Selected concepts will not only be described but
also be demonstrated. And here is the fun part. Our
Cypress attendees will be given the opportunity to
role play students and experience the benefits of
this advanced classroom environment. AUGUST 2015
HAPPY HOUR ON THE
PATIO

Join us for a Happy Hour/Member Mixer on The Cypress

summer evenings and the cool Southern breezes. Watch

OFF THE TEE
Instead of baking at the beach, 16 golfers enjoyed playing
golf on the beautiful 3-hole Cypress Golf Course. They
especially appreciated the hospitality of Peggy Peirce’s delicious
Ginger Snaps and refreshing lemonade. Two teams had to play
a “Chip-off” to determine the outcome of the tournament. The
winning team included Lois Hilger, Janet Nied, Neil Meighan and
Bill Dix who was responsible for the winning chip. The runners up
were Betsy Pehrson, Nancy Dix, Ed Deutsch and Jack Ray who
chipped for the team. Closest to the pin for the ladies was Janet
Nied and for the men, Bob Peterson. The golfers also want to thank
Paul Murphy for the extra-large bottles of water. Unfortunately no
one hit over the pond and onto the the green. Maybe next month!
ATTENTION ALL

Qigong with Tara
Wednesday, August 5, 12, 19, 26
10:00 a.m.
The Cypress Hall
Qigong (chee gong) is an ancient Chinese health care system
that was developed before the written word in Chinese
monasteries, hospitals and imperial courts. It integrates
movements, breathing techniques, focused attention and selfapplied massage. Qigong means cultivating or working with
energy and is practiced for health maintenance, increased
vitality and inner peace.
Why Practice Qigong?
The gentle, rhythmic movements of Qigong reduce stress,
strengthen the immune system, increase energy, and improve
flexibility and balance. It has also been shown to improve
respiratory, circulatory, cardiovascular, lymphatic and digestive
functions. Because Qigong activates the acupuncture points
and meridians, it is often referred to as “acupuncture without
needles”.
Who Can Benefit?
Qigong’s great appeal is that anyone can benefit from practicing
it, from the very young to the very old. The movements are
easy to learn. They can be performed standing, sitting or lying
down, and can be adapted for physical limitations. No special
equipment, clothing or practice areas are required. Qigong is more than a set of exercises; it is an attitude that works
to restructure one’s perspective on life, leading to balance and
harmony with the world around us. ~Garri Garripoli, Qigong:
Essence of the Healing Dance
Qigong is a strategy for freedom from our cage of isolation. The Practice Leader, Tara Alisbah has practiced Qigong for
over seven years and been a practice group leader for over five
years. She has taught qigong classes at the Country Club of
Hilton Head and lead community practice groups to over 30
people biweekly in parks in Hilton Head, SC and Arlington,
VA. She has also volunteered in assisted living centers, both
in Asheville and Hilton Head, leading the residents in qigong
practices for self-health and building healing energy. 5
“Talking Wall Street”
with Bill Dix
Wednesday, August 5
11:00 a.m.
The Art Room
Cypress Member Bill Dix will lead a one-hour informal discussion
on the Stock Market. How did we handle Greece, China and the
crazy stock market? Was it time to buy or say goodbye? Were
our assets properly balanced, providing us the peace of mind in
knowing we were not too heavy in stocks? Speaking of stocks,
let’s look for under-valued K-Mart “blue light specials.”
Bill retired to Hilton Head in 1995, after 33 years with Smith
Barney on Wall Street and now lives at The Cypress. He is
a regular instructor of investment classes with Life Long
Learning of Hilton Head. All Cypress Members are invited to
attend these lively discussions.

5 Johnny Mercer:
His Life and Music
Presented by Terry Herron, Rick Radcliff
and Penny Lynn Smith
Wednesday, August 5
7:15 p.m.
The Cypress Hall
A favorite son of Savannah and the Lowcountry,
Mercer wrote lyrics for over 1,500 songs from the
1930s through the 1960s, including such hits as “That
Old Black Magic,” “Moon River,” “Satin Doll,”
“Come Rain or Come Shine” and “Autumn Leaves,”
to name just a few. His classic “Skylark,” with music
by Hoagy Carmichael, became the theme song for the
Savannah-based hit movie, “Midnight in the Garden
of Good and Evil.”
Three outstanding jazz, swing and blues singers will
provide a night full of musical variety and history in their
Johnny Mercer tribute: Terry Herron, a music producer
and singer from Hilton Head; Penny Lynn Smith of The
Sweetgrass Angels, the Swingtime Orchestra and her
own jazz combo, and Rick Radcliff piano and music
director will add some vocals and history tid-bits, too.
Together they will definitely bring the house down!
So, if you are a Johnny Mercer fan, or a jazz or movie
music fan, then you should not miss this outstanding
interpretation of some of the finest contemporary
music ever composed. It promises to be a toe-tapping,
hand-clapping, funny, totally swinging night of pure
musical enjoyment!

By David McCullough
Two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, David McCullough tells the dramatic story-behind-thestory about the courageous brothers who taught the world how to fly: Wilbur and Orville Wright.
On a winter day in 1903, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, two unknown brothers from

Ohio changed history. But it would take the world some time to believe what had happened:
The Cypress Hall
the age of flight had begun, with the first heavier-than-air, powered machine carrying a pilot.
Who were these men and how was it that they achieved what they did?
David McCullough, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, tells the surprising, profoundly
American story of Wilbur and Orville Wright.
Far more than a couple of unschooled Dayton bicycle mechanics who happened to hit
on success, they were men of exceptional courage and determination, and of far-ranging
intellectual interests and ceaseless curiosity, much of which they attributed to their
upbringing. The house they lived in had no electricity or indoor plumbing, but there were
books aplenty, supplied mainly by their preacher father, and they never stopped reading.
When they worked together, no problem seemed to be insurmountable. Wilbur was unquestionably
a genius. Orville had such mechanical ingenuity as few had ever seen. That they had no more Health & Safety Committee
than a public high school education, little money and no contacts in high places, never stopped Monday, August 6, 1:00 p.m.

NEWS FROM THE LIBRARY
By Julia Whelan
The Library Committee would like to introduce you to a great addition to the Library.
It is a catalog of all the books we have in the Library, over 3,000 of them. The catalog
is in a binder on the table behind the sign-out desk. By using the catalog you can find
out if the library has a particular book that interests you and where it can be found in
the Library. The catalog starts with a Table of Contents that lists the categories into
which the books are divided. Then comes a listing of all the books. The first list is
alphabetical by author and next list is alphabetical by title. After that, the books are
divided into categories such as Americana, History, Economics, Politics, Nature,
Travel, etc. Books of each category are shelved together and each book has a sticker
on it indicating its category. As an example, should you be interested in learning if the
Library has a particular book from the Biography category, it is possible to go to the
catalog, find the Biography section in the binder and use the list to look up your book.
The Library is arranged so that the large room with the big table holds only fiction.
The room with the sign-out desk holds all the various categories. The audio visuals,
CDs and DVDs are also listed in the catalog.
The production of this catalog was a work by the entire Library Committee. A number
of months ago the Members sorted all the books, discarded old and damaged books
and started putting the books into categories. But, the major part of the work was done
by Betty Mulholland. For many months she spent several hours every day recording
every book into her computer. From that list the catalog was printed. Betty continues to
update the listing as new books are added and old ones are removed from the Library.
Many, many thanks are due Betty for taking on this task that will make using the Library
easier for all the Cypress Members.

THE COAT ROOM HANG-UPS
By Scotti Hammarberg
(Your Coat Room Monitor)
The Cypress Club House Coat Room regularly accumulates many items which
get hung there and then forgotten.
Please help us get those items returned to the owners by finding ways to have
your identification in each jacket, sweater, coat, etc. that you plan to hang there.
A small piece of paper with your name placed in a pocket or an address label
inside would be so helpful. Umbrellas and hats often get left so these items
need to be labeled, also.
Thank you for your cooperation.

CLUB HOUSE DISPLAY WINDOW
A Salute to America
For the month of July through Labor Day we are displaying items that dipict
all things Americana. Dolls, figurines, artifacts, a Teddy Bear and other “Red,
White and Blue” items.
Many Members contributed to these display windows including Emmy Drylie,
Sue Macdonald, Barbara Russell, Mary Ellen McConnell, Jean Thompson,
Gloria Rohr and Activities Director, Randi Selman. If you look at the wall across
from the Display Windows, you will see a framed invitation to President Harry
S. Truman’s Inauguration. It was presented to our Cypress Member, Catherine
Cherrix from her sister who worked as part of Harry Truman’s Secret Service.
Although Catherine was only teenager at the time, she did attend the ceremony
and to this day remembers it as one of the best days of her life.
If you have not yet had a chance to see this patriotic and colorful exhibit, please
stop by and take a look.
THE INTERNET GALLERY
ART WORK BY:
Marian Taylor and Louise DeWalt
MARIAN TAYLOR: A native of West Virginia and a two-year Art Major
at Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia. She also studied for two
years at Ringling School of Art, Sarasota, Florida as a Commercial Art Major.
She worked five years as a Commercial Artist in newspaper advertising for
department stores, an advertising agency, and a printing company in Huntington
and Charleston, West Virginia and Tampa, Florida.
She attended Workshops from Barbara Nechis, Judy Betts, Frank Webb, Bridget
Austin, Nita Engle, Irving Shapiro, Mary Whyte, Joyce Nagel, Don Theodore
and Cypress’ very own, the late Tom Ratliffe.
Marian began serious painting in watercolor when she and her husband moved
to Hilton Head in 1993. Marion was juried into the HHAL show in 1998. Since
that time she has tried both pastel and acrylic mediums, but watercolor remains
her favorite.
LOUISE DeWALT: Louise works primarily in watercolor and assures us that
she is an “old fashioned watercolorist,” using only the paper to represent white.
Louise never had a formal background in art, but took elective courses at
Wheelock College in Boston. While living in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, and
raising three small children, her husband suggested she take a “housewives
course” at the Swain School of Design one morning a week. She loved the
school and it got her started on a long road of painting.
When she moved to Westport, Massachusetts she joined a group of artists who
painted outdoors in good weather and in an old barn in bad weather. Through the
years, Louise participated in many one-week workshops with various instructors
both locally and in many different parts of the country. The only time she didn’t
paint was the ten years she lived on her boat and was constantly cruising.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA”
JOKE OF THE MONTH
Submitted by Karen Brant
“Lexophile” is a word used to describe those that have a love for
words, such as “you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish,”
or “to write with a broken pencil is pointless.” A competition
to see who can come up with the best lexophiles is held every
year in an undisclosed location. This year’s winning submission
is posted at the very end.
When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.
A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A.
The batteries were given out free of charge.
A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and
nail.
A will is a dead giveaway.
With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.
A boiled egg is hard to beat.
When you’ve seen one shopping center you’ve seen a mall.
10
Police were summoned to a daycare center where a
three-year-old was resisting a rest.
Did you hear about the fellow whose entire left side was
cut off? He’s all right now.
A bicycle can’t stand alone; it’s just two tired.
When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.
The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine is now
fully recovered.
He had a photographic memory which was never
developed.
When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought
she’d dye.
Acupuncture is a jab well done. That’s the point of it.
And the cream of the twisted crop:
Those who get too big for their pants will be totally
exposed in the end.

EMPLOYEE OF
THE MONTH
OF JULY
BARBARA MAJOR
Frank Licavoli, Environmental Services
Director received this lovely letter praising
Barbara Major, one
of the housekeepers
in his department.
Because of this letter,
Barbara was chosen
to be July’s Employee

letter was written
by Cypress Member
Ron Jack’s family:
“We would like to let
you know just how
wonderful our housekeeper Barbara is and
has always been with the care she takes of our
home and especially the care she took with my
Mom. She would even stop by The Preston
Health Center and say hello to our mom. The
house always looks beautiful. I meant to write
this note at Christmas for my dad, so this long
overdue, however my Dad wanted us to let
you know how much we appreciate Barbara.
Congratulations—Barbara Major, Employee
of the Month for July!

PHYSICAL
WELLNESS
By Cathy Cole, Wellness Director
After working at The Cypress for almost
ten years, I believe it may be the healthiest
environment I have ever experienced. Every day,
when I begin and end my work day, I see people
doing something healthy! What I observe
every day is all of the elements of wellness here
at The Cypress: Environmental, Vocational,
Intellectual, Health, Social, Spiritual, Emotional,
and Physical.
It is the month of August and we are celebrating
Physical Wellness. In a nutshell, as we are all
aware, Physical Wellness has to do with the
physical part of us. We know it means eating
well, exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices. All
of these things affect how we will feel tomorrow,
how long we may live and, more importantly,
the quality of our life. Physical wellness
interconnects with every other dimension of
wellness.
An important part of being physically well is
being happy. If you are feeling run down try
laughing more. There are many researchers that
think laughter just might be the best medicine. A
good laugh can help you feel relaxed throughout
your whole body. And, apparently laughing
burns calories! I need to start laughing more!
Laugh Your Stress and Pain Away!
It’s hard to believe there have been research
studies regarding laughing! While it may be
difficult to believe that laughter can have positive
health benefits, a good hearty laugh changes us
physiologically. Think about it. We stretch our
muscles throughout our body, our pulse and
blood pressure go up and we breathe faster. All
of these things send more oxygen to our tissues.
Here are some things that studies have shown
about physical wellness and laughter:
Improve your immune system – Laughter can
turn negative thoughts, which cause stress,
into positive ones. This will decrease stress
hormones. Some studies have shown that having
a good attitude and sense of humor may raise
the level of infection fighting antibodies in our
body. We all need that!
Stimulate organs – laughter increases your
oxygen intake; stimulates your heart, lungs and
muscles and triggers the release of endorphins,
the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals. It
improves the function of blood vessels and
increases blood flow in the heart, which can
help protect against a heart attack and other
cardiovascular problems.
Relax the whole body – A good, hearty laugh
relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your
muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes afterwards.
It can also improve sleep.
And last but not least:
Laughter can improve your mood – Laughter
can help lessen depression and anxiety and
make you feel happier, if only for a little while.
If laughter helps with all of these things it sure is
worth it a little moment in time to laugh away!
