Murder in Margaritaville
A “Whodunnit” Mystery Dinner Theater
at The Cornerstone Restaurant, The Colony
WHO MURDERED
JACK DANIELS?
It was a lively “whodunnit” at The Cornerstone Restaurant as residents from The Colony and The Ridgewood gathered for Margaritaville Murder Mystery. Organized by
Colony Life Enrichment Specialist Mariah
Corson, participants dressed the parts they
were given, including Coconut Joe, Coconut
Jan, Candy Cotten, Sandy Beachum, Marge
Mooner, Mike Mooner, Agent Hollywood,
Izzie Islander, Sergeant Lord, and Thurston
Howard, plus others. Throughout the Mexican-themed dinner in luau-decorated Margaritaville, prepared by Cornerstone Chef
Adam Hale and his terrific staff, everyone
followed clues and objectives that led them
toward finding the murderer of Jack Daniels,
played by Ridgewood Life Enrichment Specialist Roxanne McElhinny. The murderer
ironically turned out to be Lifesaving Sam,
played by Colony resident John Nichols. It
was such a surprise to everyone that only one
person, Olga Manganello, guessed that he
was the murderer. Prizes were awarded at the
conclusion of the event, some prizes decided
with votes submitted by all participants.

what food mood I’m in.
I get excited each week, though, to try what soup is on special. While writing this, I’m enjoying a bowl of crab cheese
soup that was served at a special event. This soup is a speciality
item but one I’m sure will remain on the top of my list for a
very long time. I can’t imagine what soup could possibly top
this light, sweet, cheesy, crab-filled bowl of awesomeness. I’m
in soup bliss.
Another Cornerstone soup right at the top of my favorites
list is the ham and butter bean. This broth-based soup served
with a warm roll is the perfect lunch break or dinner side.
Other soups that have made the special soup menu include
chicken noodle, beef vegetable, cabbage, stuffed pepper, BLT,
asparagus, and chili. Paired with a salad and roll, any of these
make a delicious lunch, which, by the way, is served from 11:30
to 2 p.m. every Wednesday and Friday.
Hungrier than what soup can satisfy? Order a cup to
accompany a great Panini, Ceasar shrimp salad or the filet
mignon…everything is so good, it’s tough to decide.
So, that’s this month’s craving. Soup has long been a favorite
comfort food and with all the snow and cold we’ve had to endure, why not stop in at The Cornerstone for a taste of comfort,
even now or especially that spring has sprung. Whatever soup’s
on, it is sure to satisfy any craving.
Until next month...it’s all good.
Cornerstone
Cravings
By Beckie Erwin, St. Paul’s Marketing Specialist
The crisp dill pickle - put it next to a sandwich, slice one
onto grilled burgers, deep fry it, sweeten it, mix it into dips but did you know it makes a pretty tasty soup, too? I felt your
eyebrows go up...but as my mother says, “Don’t knock it ’til
you try it.”
Soup can be loved all year long, but there’s nothing better
than a bowl of hot soup on a cold day. Over these past very
cold couple of months, I’ve really enjoyed the hot soup offerings at The Cornerstone, including a surprisingly tasty soup
made from dill pickles.
Even now that it finally promises to get warmer, soup can
still be a comforting choice to accompany a meal or salad – or
to stand alone with a simple homemade roll. Unless it comes
from your own kitchen, I recommend you try one of the soups
made at The Cornerstone. They are that homemade good.
The daily soup is Italian Wedding, one of my all-time favorites. It’s the perfect blend of flavors with fresh ingredients and
those tiny meatballs that make it so much fun. It’s a great item
available at every meal so I can always count on it no matter
The campus at St. Paul’s had the opportunity to taste Cornerstone Cream Puffs during the month of March. From

along with Colony Life Enrichment Specialist Mariah Corson (not pictured) served the dessert and set up displays

A Message from Pastor Bill
A time to sow
He is risen!!...He is risen indeed!!!!
As spiritually and life impacting as this declaration is – Christ’s resurrection, His victory over sin and death, assuring
believers of life eternal with Him and the Father—I fear that some people interpret it as the finale.
I wonder if the one who declares “He is risen” on Resurrection morning should then follow up after the congregation
responds with, “So what now?”
As Christ’s followers, His disciples, “He is risen” should be a signal to us to begin the work of sharing God’s love, and the
Good News, to all through our actions and our words.
That time we devoted to prayer, Scripture reading, fasting and giving alms during the Lenten season, may be seen as the
“training camp” to better prepare us for the work that the Holy Spirit desires to guide and direct us in.
How has our Lenten journey deepened our relationship with our Lord? And how has it prepared us to share Christ’s
love with all?
If only the Holy Spirit presented us with a menu, like the ones with all of the columns in a restaurant and said, “pick one
person from column A, two from column B, and one from column C.” Then we could choose our favorites, the ones who
we like because they see things the way we do and are so easy to talk with.
But instead, He says: “Love all my children, serve them all.” Even the one who is never happy with anything anyone
does; the one who has really strange views on things; the one who took your favorite parking space, or got that promotion
you wanted. Even those who ridicule Christ’s followers.
May Resurrection Sunday offer both an opportunity for rejoicing and experiencing God’s love, peace and joy, and may
it be the day to release you for the greater plans and purposes that Jesus has prepared you for during your Lenten journey.

Dental care advice in aging
As we age we become more prone to tooth decay
and infections of the gums. If dental infections go undetected or ignored, the consequences are not small.
Cavities, gum disease, and decay of tooth roots are
painful, and expensive to fix. (Medicare does not cover
dentistry!) Loss of teeth can result in poor nutrition
and social isolation if your loved one is embarrassed.
And, gum disease and tooth loss have been linked to serious conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke,
and cancer.
Here’s what to look for as potential signs of dental
disease.
• Pain. Sore gums and teeth are an indication of
infection. If your loved one has dementia, he or
she may not be able to tell you about mouth pain.
Watch during meals for grimacing or problems
with chewing.
• Breath that routinely smells bad. This can indicate an overgrowth of bacteria.
• Filmy or stained teeth. Oral bacteria coat the
teeth in a sticky “plaque.” These bacteria produce acids that cause tooth and root decay.
• Gum problems. Swelling and bleeding are signs
of infection. Gums naturally recede as we age,
exposing the soft roots of our teeth to bacteria
that cause infection.
• Dry mouth. Many medications used by older
adults reduce saliva. Saliva is nature’s anti-cavity
rinse. When saliva or other mouth moisture is
limited, cavities are likely.
• Loose teeth. Prolonged root decay and gum disease destabilize teeth. Affected teeth can easily
break off altogether.
• Dentures that aren’t used. This may indicate the
gums are swollen or painful or that the dentures
no longer fit properly.
If you notice any of these symptoms, have your relative see a dentist as soon as possible. If cost is a barrier,
look for free or low-cost dental services through www.
toothwisdom.org.

Seeking wedding dresses for Angel Gown project
The Ridgewood at St. Paul’s is involved with a new activity with staff and residents. Along with the layettes and
hats they have made over the last year for Magee Women’s
Hospital, they are making Angel Gowns. These gowns are
worn by premature babies who do not survive birth. Even
though this is a very sad subject, it is an important need and
something that helps families cope with their loss.
The gowns are made from donated wedding dress material. Anyone who would be willing to donate a wedding
dress is asked to contact Ridgewood Life Enrichment Specialist Roxanne McElhinny at 724-588-7610, ext. 1156, or at
[email protected].
For more information about the project itself, visit www.
nicuhelpinghands.org and click the Angel Gowns link.
Ridgewood Life Enrichment Specialist Roxanne McElhinney and resident Katherine Yurko dismantle a wedding
gown so that it can be remade into an Angel Gown.

PLEASE NOTE: Effective immediately, all residents should tune to Channel 126-851 (may be displayed as 126.851) for
movies, church services and any other broadcasts. This channel has been reserved by Time Warner for use internally by
campuses like St. Paul’s, and will not be used for TWC programming going forward, which will alleviate any potential
signal interference. The reason for this abrupt change from Channel 6 has to do with Time Warner's plans to convert all
signals to digital.

National Volunteer
Appreciation Week
April 12-18, 2015
National Volunteer Week is about taking action and encouraging individuals and their respective communities to
be at the center of social change – discovering and actively
demonstrating their collective power to make a difference.
National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 and
has grown exponentially each year. The week has become
a nationwide effort to encourage everyone to give volunteering a try. When it comes to volunteering, everyone
has something to give and so much to gain from getting
involved. At St. Paul’s we have many volunteering opportunities currently available. We invite YOU to make a difference and volunteer. Please call Rose Hoffman at 724-5889613, Ext. 1135 or e-mail [email protected].
At St. Paul’s it would be impossible to provide the quality and quantity of programs, services and activities we
currently offer without the help of our volunteers. Whenever you see a volunteer, especially during Volunteer Week,
please take time to offer a big “THANK YOU” and honor
them for all they do.
We are in need of appointment companion
volunteers, especially men. We also are in need
of volunteers in The Bistro, for special events,
and people who will help transport our residents to and from Wednesday evening
worship services, and during the day to the Fitness Center, beauty salons, rehab, etc.,
If you can help, please call Rose Hoffman at 724-588-9613, ext. 1135.

Kim Legg receives
HVA scholarship
for nursing school
For a busy working mother and
student, receiving a scholarship for
nursing school was a happy blessing.
“I was super excited,” said Kimberly Legg, who has
been a certified nurse’s aide at The Villas at St. Paul’s for
the past six years. She is also a freshman at Kent State
University where she is studying to earn a degree as a
registered nurse. Kim received a $600 HVA Scholarship
last fall to help with school expenses. “I’m so grateful for
this scholarship. Every little bit helps. College is expensive so this will help a lot,” she said.
Kim enjoys her job as a Baylor employee at St. Paul’s,
which means she works weekends and every other Friday. She said she enjoys the diversity of nursing and the
interaction with the residents. “It’s like a family here,
everyone greets you with a smile and I’ve become very
close with my residents,” she said.
Becoming a registered nurse is important to her so
that she can provide more stability and security to her
family. She is married with two children.
GOOD NUTRITION
March is National Nutrition Month, sponsored by the
American Dietetic Association. St. Paul’s own registered dietitian, Jenna Webb, standing far left, visited with
Colony residents on March 19 to give a presentation on
“Eating Well - Aging Well.” She spoke on basic nutrition, ways to lead a healthy lifestyle and the importance
of good nutrition for good health. As part of the event,
there were healthy snack options for everyone to enjoy
and a chance to win an Edible Arrangement. Wednesday,
March 11 was Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day to
honor all RDs and RDNs as the most valuable and credible source of current, scientifically-based food and nutrition information. Thank you, Jenna, for all you do at
St. Paul’s to keep everyone healthy and informed!
Sending out a big thank you to our
grounds crew for keeping our parking
lots and sidewalks so well cleared during
the very snowy winter of 2015!
We appreciate you all!
