Continuously reinventing our lives—to give meaning, maintain and develop relationships, and define one’s legacy—does not stop, ever. These reinventions come about through reflection, and include what we have always done, what we do now, and also what we have not yet done.

We interviewed residents to find out how they revise, remake, and reinvent their lives. The range of activities was amazing and demolished any (of our) preconceived ideas that older adults don’t do much. For example, a resident has just published a book, another has just translated a book, others are writing, painting, working, lecturing, organizing a walking club, teaching board games, participating in a writing club, giving docent lectures, working in community gardens, playing in an orchestra, writing music, and attending lectures. A couple of residents started doing something new by joining art classes for the first time.

The following short interviews provide a quick sketch of RGP residents reinventing their lives.

Helene LynchAll my life I have been involved in community life, the PTA, the school board, politics, the church, and of course, my family. After retiring from teaching, I wanted to continue helping people so I have

been volunteering at Mt. Zion Gift Shop for the past fourteen years. We are able to help women endure the anguishes of cancer and cancer therapy by providing head coverings, wigs, and other products. But most of all, our shop is a support network where women come not only for our merchandise, but more importantly for support and community. We are helping women and their families—people we have never met. Providing comfort and empathy is the real reason that all of us work there.”

Jack Leibman

My motivations are curiosity and adventure. Since my retirement, I have been a volunteer for many years in a variety of organizations in San Francisco. I was a docent for 20 years at the SF Botanical Garden and I continue gardening at the Fort Mason Community Garden. For the last eleven years I have been leading tours as a SF City Guide. During this period I have also volunteered at the Holocaust Library, Sutro Library, Sierra Club Library, Presidio Archaeology Lab, Senior Peer Counselors, Project Read at the Main Library, and the Jewish Coalition for Literacy. Previously I was a hike leader for the Sierra and Alpine Clubs. Before coming to RGP in 2007, I had never tried anything artistic. Attending art classes here turned out to be quite inspirational and productive. Writing has also been an important activity. My book, a translation from the Yiddish The Life and Destruction of Olshan, has just been published.

Dorothy Auerbach

Now that I live at RGP and am relieved of the duties of cooking and cleaning, I have time to consider what I want to do. My husband and I raised five children, while both of us worked; life has been eventful and we have been very busy all of our lives. Despite not having much time to write, I have been writing for sixty-three years, mostly short memoirs and opinion pieces. Now at RGP, I have more time to write and have neighbors to do it with. I also brought my writing group to RGP, which has worked out well for everyone.

The activities I did in the past, I continue doing, but I also have tried new things. When I came here, I brought memories of my seven-year-old experience in art and thought I had no talent for it. Despite this belief, I decided to attend art class and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. What’s nice is that there is no competition; the only pressure is that I have to do something, whether it is a painting or an article.

The way I look at it “the more things you do, the more the blood flows to the brain,”. I believe that doing something creative, what comes from the inner me, is the more stimulating. The creative process—finding the right word, making the right connection, choosing the right color or shape, is what makes the blood flow. It’s often the case of letting the creative process happen rather than forcing a preconceived direction to what I am doing. In regard to old age, I have not found it to be bad, rather I look on it as an opportunity to do lots of different and fun things.

Freda Reider

My adult life has been interestingly creative and at RGP I’ve had the good fortune of putting form and words together.

My background has been in dance and the visual arts. My BA at Boston University was in Literature. My Masters Degree however was at San Francisco State University where I held a double major in Education and Creative-Experimental- Interdisciplinary Arts.

I wrote a book on challah baking which was published in 1987 by Ktav Publishers.

I am a founding partner in the Jewish Arts Community of the Bay and I wrote and produced a two-day Sephardic Festival in Berkeley

Here at RGP I’m privileged to display 3-dimensional forms for the Jewish Holidays, such as hand-made puppets for Purim.

I also present the yearly Freda’s Extended Program for the residents. This fourth season’s theme will be War & Peace. The program consists of five sessions. Session One leads to discussions by the residents who congregate outside my apartment, hence the title. The next four sessions will take place in the art room.

If I had to identify what drives me, it would be the instinct to create. It gives voice and form to my creativity and ideas.

Jackie Kirschner

“When I was sixty-two, after I had raised my children, I enrolled at UC Berkeley to study Art and Peoples of the World. I like to do new things because I like the challenge, so doing something like that was completely in character for me. When I was young, I wanted to wear different things, so I learned to sew. My father said, “she can do anything if she wants to,” so I have. When I was in my 20’s, I was a model for a few years, then got married and raised twin boys.

I like to walk, so at RGP, I have continued to do that. Here, I invite others, those who don’t go out to walk with me. I like to walk and talk so it makes sense to have people to converse with. We have a group now, four or five women, who like to walk, and we go out in the mornings after exercise class. My advice is: “Do something different! Do something you have never done before!”

“I’ve found that a personal connection is the most effective way to get people involved. I invited one gentleman to come to the art class with me. I invited him saying ‘Come on with me. Let’s go to the art room and see what they are doing today.’ He enjoyed himself so much that now he goes to class every week and works there by himself. It’s never too late to try something new.”

Health Notes

Getting Better with Age

There is a general assumption that aging is full of aches and pains, high blood pressure, grey hair, and wrinkles. This may be true to some extent, but there are some notable health benefits to getting older. Yes, really!

A 2015 study published in Psychological Science analyzed cognitive tests of 48,537 participants and looked at what types of intelligence were stronger at which ages1. Interestingly some types of intelligence peak in later middle age and, most notably, vocabulary skills peaked after age 65. Psychologist Raymond Cattell coined the term “crystallized intelligence” in which we use our accumulated skills, knowledge, and experience to learn new things. In other words, as we age, we benefit from a larger body of general knowledge and a better vocabulary.

In addition to cognitive advantages, there are physical advantages to aging. It has been shown that migraines are much less common in older adults and a Swedish study found that 80% of migraine sufferers experienced fewer and less intense migraines after age 55 2. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics show that older adults have an average of only two colds per year – compared to children who experience an average of 6 or more colds a year 3. Interestingly, our teeth become less sensitive with age according to the American Dental Association—which is a nice perk to aging, but we need to be even more sure to get check-ups since we may not have any pain when something goes wrong 4.

Perhaps the most significant benefit to aging regards emotional wellbeing. A longitudinal study conducted

in the Bay Area actually mapped emotional and mental health markers of participants of varying ages across a ten year period 5. The study showed that with age we continue to experience positive and negative emotions, but we are better able to balance these emotions. We are more likely to achieve emotional stability.

Everyone’s personal experience is different and I certainly don’t mean to generalize that we will all get smarter and healthier as we get older. It is worth looking at these studies, however, because there is supporting data for some notable mental, physical, and emotional improvements with age. Another year older, another year wiser. I’ll take it!

RGP Resident Council President Hal Auerbach's Message

Most of us here have memory issues to some degree and are well-aware of how frustrating it is to know that you do know something, but are unable to recall it. So that we can gain some comfort and maybe even some help

from hearing how others are coping with this condition, our staff has inaugurated a Memory Support Group which meets on alternate Wednesday afternoons. All are welcome. Those who have attended have found it rewarding. Please check the monthly activity schedules for dates, times and locations.

Many of us remember May Day celebrations in elementary school: costumed children dancing around a decorated May Pole, flowers everywhere, celebrating the transition from Spring to Summer as Europeans had done years ago. Others recall May Day as a socialist workers’ holiday, before the Soviets turned it into an occasion for the display of military might. A few may remember our Congress responding to the Soviets’ version by naming May 1st as “Law Day USA”, to celebrate the rule of law as protector of the rights of the people. Yes, it’s also true that “May Day” is an internationally recognized distress signal but, putting that aside, for most people at most times the first day of May has been an occasion for celebration and anticipation.

Let us hope that this April’s showers (literally and figuratively) will indeed bring flowers to bloom in May.

RGP Employee of the MonthLuis Cerapio

I came to the United States in 1996 from Peru. A lot was happening in my country at the time. I left Peru because I knew there was no future there for me. My brother left

Peru and went to San Francisco; later my mom left for Miami where my aunt was living. When I came to San Francisco, I enrolled at the City College of San Francisco (CCSF), Alemany Campus on Eddy Street, to study English as a Second Language (ESL). Later I enrolled in classes for academic credit, and majored in computer science. After taking a few classes, I realized that computers weren’t for me. My girlfriend advised me to take nursing classes, so I did. In 2009, my mother sponsored me and I got my green card. I enrolled in Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) classes and in the second semester, I won the lottery and was accepted to study for a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) degree. I completed my studies, and passed the State board exam in 2012. All this time, I was working in the restaurant business to support myself while I was going to school. Studies were difficult, but it was extremely difficult for me because English is my second language. I had a clear goal and was persistent to reach my goal.

I like nursing because I like being the person people count on when they need help. It is satisfying for me to be able to help others. I like working at RGP because it doesn’t feel like a business, it feels more like a family. I like the residents, my co workers and the positive environment. My long term goal is to become a Registered Nurse (RN).

Living National Treasures Month

May is Older Americans Month. No matter how you wrap up the concept of aging as something to celebrate, no one living with diminishing capacities feels much like shouting “whoopee!” The national theme is a wonderful concept that attempts to compensate for our cultural deficit of honoring our elders (a prevalent practice in other countries throughout the world) that is greatly lacking in our own. Sounds harsh, I know, yet we have to start somewhere and it’s good to open up the discussion.

I’ve always been intrigued with a concept defined under the 1950 Japanese Law for Protection of Cultural Properties (such as dramatic, musical, artistic, and other intangible cultural artifacts of high value related to Japanese history or art.)* It is a designation whereby individuals or groups are defined as “Living National Treasures.” These individuals or groups have achieved a high level of mastery of an artistic skill such that the Japanese government feels they are “preservers” of them for future generations. I believe this philosophy should be translated into new behavior towards older adults in the U.S. and globally, who have an accumulation of life experience and wisdom that should be honored.

The Internet is exploding with videos and articles about “remarkable” older adults who go skydiving at 90, start new businesses at 70, or invent products at 80. These are all inspiring, to be sure, and we’ll be seeing a lot more of these “marvels” as our life expectancy continues to lengthen. But the fact that we gape in awe

at people doing things ascribed to younger people reflects the underlying bias that older people are done, retired, passé. Aging takes persistent emotional and physical courage and isn’t for the faint of heart, whether or not you attempt to learn the tango at 85!

I am less star struck by these stories, perhaps because I am surrounded at RGP by people who are engaged in lifelong learning,

community, culture, and exploring new opportunities, on or offsite. When time allows me to share a meal with residents, I lose myself in their personal life stories, inventiveness, projects, the history through which they have lived and points of view that open my heart and mind. I feel honored when people open up their lives to me, and

The Olive Press page 9

this is how I personally treasure each and every person. The gift of time and attentive listening is one of the most precious ways I believe we can show a person we honestly care.

Living National Treasure Month emphasizes that we, as individuals, should reflect on our attitudes toward older people and to change our behavior towards them, so that, “en masse,” we will create a broad, cultural shift towards the respect and honor they have earned.

Dining—Eat to your heart’s content

Active AgingActive Aging….you’d be surprised at how many opportunities exist, in places you never imagined. You may wonder what does dining services have to do with this subject? I assume healthy active aging of people (unlike cheese or wine which age quietly in temperature-controlled, insulated rooms) can be redefined at RGP Well, sorry about this, but start with that kale. Eating healthy food will allow you to remain as active as you can be. Since, balance is important, if you eat your kale, then you can have your hot fudge sundae.

Now you’ve all heard our parent’s stories about walking to school uphill in the driving snow with only a baked potato to keep your fingers warm. (Both ways) up hill, which if you ask me is just poor planning. If you walk uphill at 3.5 miles per hour you will burn 340 calories. In RGP terms, that is walking from your apartment, taking the elevator up to the seventh floor and down to the second, walking to the farthest table in the dining room, getting rejected (“my friend is planning to sit here”), and walking around looking for a friendly table, surely that burns 340 calories. Now your dinner is probably negative calories, if half of it is kale.

If you don’t know what to eat, you can circle the din-ing room looking closely at what others are eating, (twenty calories); craning your neck to see what your dining-neighbors are eating (ten calories). Nervous ticks produced by the anxiety of waiting for that ice cream (twenty calories). Too much stress however can severely disrupt your system (that’s the scientific explanation) causing your metabolism to slow down. That’s not so good, (no calories burned). So we go back to–remaining calm burns more calories.

How else can dining services assist you with active aging? Good etiquette can help burn cal-ories. Do not place your hands on the table. It’s considered unsanitary. Keep those hands waving, wave utensils, punctuate your stories with force-ful gestures, and signal wildly unconventional ideas (twenty calories!) . Everyone will think you are so dynamic, interesting, and sanitary.

Additional edification: healthy isn’t all about losing weight. We place too much emphasis on maintaining our figures. We talked about exer-cise in the dining room, and we talked about remaining calm. It’s also important to be social. Gather your friends to whine and dine (sorry, but I couldn’t resist). Buy a bottle of wine, bring it to the dining room, relax and enjoy a lovely social experience. Socialization is surely the most im-portant part of healthy active aging. Don’t hide up in your room and have room service. Come on down, we’re fun in the dining room. And the café, what a social hot spot! I recently added a second server because it has become so popular. You know my motto, fast service, no matter how long it takes! And, what’s your hurry anyway? Only the RGP bus leaves on time.

In case you were wondering, bitter is good. Bitter foods are good for your liver. Healthy liver = healthy aging, healthy aging = active aging. That goes back to your kale, but also chocolate and coffee are bitter foods and their health benefits are touted almost daily. Isn’t that good news?

Relax, be bitter, and eat to your hearts content.

Mark Leno at Rhoda Goldman Plaza on May 25th

Mark Leno was elected to the Board of Supervisors and then to the California Assembly. Most recently he was our state Senator and was “termed-out” at the end of 2016. He was chair of the

important Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly and the Finance Committee of the state senate. Mark was a thoughtful and productive legislator, helpeing to pass important laws affecting the elderly, children, the environment, and transportation.He will be at RGP on Thursday, May 25th at 10:30am

Join Our Wait List!Our Wait List, a.k.a. Strong-Intention-And-Need-Time List, was established to give potential residents some time to think, make arrangements, or plan accordingly. Sometimes people want to move in and are waiting for a larger apartment to become available.

How do you get on our Wait List? There is a simple two-page questionnaire which helps us determine whether there would be any obstacles to applying. Since we want people fairly sure of moving into RGP, we charge $500 per person; this fee is completely refundable if one chooses not to move in, or can be applied towards the community fee The date on the acceptance to the Wait List saves your position on the list.

If you have any questions, Please call Candiece at 415.345.5072.

Memory Loss Suport Group

RGP’s Memory Loss Support Group was intended to provide an opportunity for residents to share their experiences and get support. In just three meetings, residents have been able to share coping strategies to help manage activities of daily life or the frustration that comes with memory loss. Here are just some of the tools that residents have shared that help them manage their memory loss:• Write down things you want to remember. • Use a phone or recorder to record messages to

yourself. • Take a break and return to what you were doing

later• Remind yourself to relax (It is harder than you

think!). Repeat it several times in your head.• Listen to music• Deep breathing• MeditationThe next meeting will be May 3rd and 17th at 3:15 pm. If you are experiencing memory loss, I encourage you to attend a meeting! Emma Davis, MA, MFTiTherapeutic Programming Manager
