Major League Milestones As spring gets into full swing, so does Major League Baseball. From opening day to the last game of the World Series in the fall, baseball fans will be cheering for their favorite teams and players. Hit a trivia home run by learning these fun facts: • Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm hit a home run during his first at bat as a rookie pitcher. His career lasted for 21 more years, but he never hit another home run. • Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench could hold seven baseballs in one hand. • Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. didn’t miss a game in 16 years. From 1982 to 1998, he played in 2,632 consecutive games. • Deion Sanders is the only man to play in both a World Series and a Super Bowl. • The longest professional baseball game lasted 8 hours and 6 minutes. After 25 innings, the Chicago White Sox beat the visiting Milwaukee Brewers 7 to 6. • In August 2011, only 347 people showed up to watch a Florida Marlins game. The record low attendance was attributed to the approach of Hurricane Irene.

EU-635 - The Heritage at Brentwood - Issue: 04/01/16 Viewed: 03/31/16 10:51 AM Balance Fair A Note From the Marketing Director, Judy Good Happy Spring! April is an amazing month. I enjoy going outside just after a rain shower and smelling the crisp fresh air that only comes at that time. It brings back memories of puddle jumping and twirling umbrellas! Spring is also the time when many make the decision to move, resulting in a busy time for the marketing department and marketing committee. The Marketing Committee is an amazing group of residents who are a valuable part of the marketing department. Their commitment and advice are greatly appreciated. They help us greet, host and tour guests. We could not be so successful without them! We update the resident move-in list, on the bulletin board in the mailroom, each month. You will find available bios in a binder on the table in the library. We continue to host a monthly Resident refer-a-friend luncheon. Keep an eye out for the date; you will receive an invite in your community mailbox. Apartment of the month: we are featuring the Crockett; this floor plan has two bedrooms, 2 baths, with 1048 sq. ft. This apartment is on the second floor with a southern view. Spacious closets. For more information on this or other available places, stop by the marketing office. Spring wishes, Judy Good *photos taken by John Philbrick EU-635 - The Heritage at Brentwood - Issue: 04/01/16 Viewed: 03/31/16 10:51 AM Resident Council at Work “What we have is a failure to communicate,” is a common exclamation in organizations, families, and groups of many kinds. The Heritage at Brentwood may occasionally fall into that state of confusion. Especially when the communication is of the grapevine variety, the chances of failure or confusion increase. In the best of situations, the Resident Council is a positive part of the communication design here. At each monthly meeting, we hear reports from the Executive Director and the Administrator. Jon Tagatz updates us about the progress of marketing, and other issues that are of consequence. These might include security, employment challenges, property issues, and any other changes or challenges. Recently, we received updates on the new ownership. Dahlen Jordan briefs us on Somerfield—its usage and procedures. Winfield census and usage, the Williamson Medical Clinic, and Health at Home are also part of his report. Several times a year, we receive updates from Life Care Services, manager and partial owner of The Heritage. This opportunity to learn about issues and initiatives important to LCS gives the Resident Council a broad perspective of the way our life here is organized and managed. Those discussions are the first links in our communication chain. Then, council members take what we have heard and answer questions and interpret issues for residents as called upon. Through our liaison relationships with the resident committees, we further extend our communication function. And there are discussions at the dinner table, chance conversations in the mail room, other opportunities to correct mis-information that seems to be a part of community life. Rather than dealing with a “failure to communicate” in our daily life here, I hope that the Resident Council can be a key link in a successful communication design. Let’s disable the grapevine and enhance the processes of communication. We will all benefit. Carolyn Oehler, Resident Council President April 2016 Resident Spotlight: Beverly Job I was born in northwest Iowa in the early thirties. My father was a pastor, and I had an older sister and a younger brother. An early sadness was the death of my birth mother just before I turned three years old. My sister was four and a half and my brother was five and a half months. A year later, a stepmother came into our lives, and our family was complete again. Two more brothers were born to our family. I graduated from our church related college in northwest Iowa—Westmar College, with a major in home economics and a minor in business. I met Rueben in our Communications 101 class the first year there. He was born on a farm in North Dakota and was now preparing to become a pastor. We were married just before our senior year. Following graduation, we moved to the Chicago area, where Rueben attended seminary, and I taught junior high homemaking in a nearby city. My teaching career was cut short when our first child was expected, and I resigned mid-year. We welcomed our first daughter that summer, and then in later years another daughter and two sons were born to our family. I became a stay-at-home mom and enjoyed rearing our family and supporting Rueben in his ministry for the sixty-one years of our marriage. Rueben was pastor to churches in North Dakota. He then served the Church in many different places, with new responsibilities in the Dakotas, in Dayton, Ohio, here in Nashville, (three times!) and as bishop of the Iowa Area of the United Methodist Church. We moved seventeen times and I enjoyed the challenges of making a home in each place. Over the years, I used my homemaking and business skills. I typed term papers and letters for Rueben. I made clothes for myself and our children, draperies and curtains for our homes, even upholstered some furniture. We gardened, and I froze and canned fruits and vegetables. We entertained often in our home. I enjoyed and was challenged by it all. I had several interesting short term jobs — substitute teaching when we had three children in college at the same time, serving as the EU-635 - The Heritage at Brentwood - Issue: 04/01/16 Viewed: 03/31/16 10:51 AM Library Corner Educational Assistant in our local church and I learned much about prison ministry when I worked as Secretary to the Tennessee Director of Prison Fellowship. I volunteered in many different settings. We enjoyed many road trips to all parts of our country. We travelled to many countries around the world—Mexico, Europe, Asia, the Holy Land, in connection with Rueben’s work. In later years, we enjoyed going on cruises to Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and the northeastern part of the United States. We moved to a new home on an acreage in Robertson County in 1992 when Rueben retired. Rueben had suffered heart disease for many years, but led a very active life. In 2004, he could no longer do the outside work he loved, so we signed up to come to The Heritage. We moved here in August of 2007, and have been very happy here. Rueben died in our apartment in January 2015, after a long and full life. Three of our four children live in this area with our five grandchildren. Our son who lives in Sioux Falls, SD with his family calls regularly. They are all a great help and support! I enjoy friendships with residents here and some of the many activities offered. I continue to be active in our local church— Belmont United Methodist. I enjoy quilting, reading, music— especially the Glee Club and occasional soup making and cookie baking. I am grateful that God continues to bless my life in meaningful ways. The following large print books will be added to the library for you to check out and enjoy: The Apple Orchard by Susan Wiggs tells the story of Tess Delaney illuminating history, but Tess’s own history is filled with gaps: a father she never met, and a mother who spent more time traveling than with her daughter. Hell’s Corner by David Baldacci follows John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most skilled assassin his country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White House, perhaps for the last time. The Coalwood Way by Homer Hickman is a dazzling memoir that takes us deeper into the soul of his West Virginia hometown. The Appeal by John Grisham highlights a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, where a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town’s water supply, causing the worst “cancer cluster” in history. The Cat Who Talked to Ghosts by Lilian Jackson Braun chronicles Jim Qwilleran move into a historic farmhouse with his two cats.

Brought to you by Cathy Joki, Director of Residential Health Services. The story of red wine and cancer has been a complicated one, and in the past, the thought was that drinking alcohol was most likely “harmless” when it comes to increasing cancer risk. However, this year, a large study by Harvard researchers shook that notion that moderate alcohol consumption is harmless. Healthy middle-aged women who had about a half a glass to a glass of wine a day, or the equivalent amount of beer or liquor, had a 13% higher risk of certain types of cancer, particularly breast cancer. For men, drinking a couple glasses of alcohol a day was associated with 26% increased risk of cancers such as liver, colon and esophagus. Experts reacted by urging the importance of keeping alcohol consumption in close check. Based on the research so far, it seems safe to have a glass of red wine or alcoholic beverage a day, unless you have a medical condition or a history of alcoholism, and it may even provide some heart health benefit. However the risks of drinking too much, such as liver disease, increase of risk for cancer, drunken driving and domestic violence, are all very clear, making it difficult for doctors to prescribe drinking even a small amount of red wine in the age of modern medicine. IS ALCOHOL GOOD FOR ME? Various studies have shown that moderate amounts of all types of alcohol benefit your heart, not just alcohol found in red wine. It’s thought that alcohol: • Raises high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol • Reduces the formation of blood clots • Helps prevent artery damage caused by high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol • Produces changes in blood pressure Neither the American Heart Association nor the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommend that you start drinking alcohol just to prevent heart disease. Alcohol can be addictive and can cause or worsen other health problems. WHAT IS THE RISK? Drinking too much alcohol increases your risk of high blood pressure, liver damage, obesity, certain types of cancer, accidents and other problems. In addition, drinking too much alcohol regularly can cause weakened heart muscle leading to symptoms of heart failure for some. EU-635 - The Heritage at Brentwood - Issue: 04/01/16 Viewed: 03/31/16 10:51 AM Healthy Life® Corner: Ask Your NIFS Expert (Does Red Wine Cause Cancer? Continued) WHAT SHOULD I DO? If you have heart failure or a weak heart, you should avoid alcohol completely. If you take aspirin daily, you should avoid or limit alcohol, depending on your doctor’s advice. If you have questions about the benefits and risks of alcohol, talk to your doctor about specific recommendations for you. If you already drink, do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than age 65. A drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits. Let’s Go Putting The weather is finally warm enough to head out to the putting green!

Question: Why do I get leg cramps at night? Answer: There are many factors that can contribute to leg cramps. Overuse or an injury to the leg muscle is one of the most common causes. Another contributor is a lack of fluids within the body. A decrease in the body’s mineral stores, particularly calcium, magnesium, and potassium can lead to leg cramps. Consumption of sport drinks or coconut water, may help keep those painful leg cramps at bay by replacing the aforementioned minerals. Drinking these beverages later in the day will also help you stay hydrated through the night. Blood flow problems in older adults or cold temperatures may contribute to the problem. Sleeping under a warm blanket or in long pajamas will keep you warm and improve blood flow. Check with your doctor to see if any of your medications are exacerbating the problem. When you experience a leg cramp while sleeping you can try to relieve the pain by straightening your leg and flexing your foot up toward your knee, which stretches the calf muscle. Rubbing your calf with an ice pack, taking a hot shower, or sitting in a hot tub can also help relieve leg cramps. If you choose a hot tub, be sure not to stay in for too long, or you risk dehydration.
