Concert Tradition Continues While Family Promise in Transition

Each year a concert has been organized to assist Family Promise of Lorain

County, a non-profit organization that has worked with professional staff, Ken-

dal, churches, and many volunteers to feed and accommodate day and night

those families in this community who need temporary help. Family Promise is

presently looking at ways to meet its current challenges and is considering a pos-

sible new model of care. This time of transition is devoted to asking what is the

best, most efficient way to continue helping homeless children and their parents.

At this critical time, donations at the concert (or independently to Family Prom-

ise Day Center, 440 W. Lorain St., Oberlin) are appreciated. ~Carol Longsworth

KNOW YOUR KORA COUNCIL Kendal Value: TO TAKE RESPON-SIBILITY IN THE LARGER COM-MUNITY, maintaining extensive and mutu-ally supportive relationships and sharing our resources and experience. Kendal Values and Practices Booklet, p. 4.

It was truly amazing to have so many in

attendance at September’s KORA

meeting with such a beautiful blending

of residents old and new from all parts

of our community – apartments, cot-

tages, and the Stephens Care Center. It

was exciting to be in our newly reno-

vated auditorium. All present appreciat-

ed the hard work of Facility Services

staff, contractors, AV/Media Group,

resident volunteers, and particularly

Dennis Cook and Rey Carrion for

bringing this project through on sched-

ule. We have a beautiful functional

space which will serve us well for many

years to come.

The reports from Council commit-

tees, liaisons to standing committees

and subcommittees, 25th Anniversary

coordinators, and other residents

demonstrate how seriously the value to

share our resources and experience

both in and outside Kendal is and how

extensive our connections and support

of one another are.

Fall is an enriching and busy time in

Oberlin and at Kendal. There is so

much to savor and do. Please continue

to check the 25th Anniversary photo

display and events calendar outside

Langston, read your Kendalight, look at

WKAO daily, and compare notes with

your neighbor to keep up to date with

all that is happening. Also, for infor-

mation, look at the KORA Bulletin

Board and check out the KORA Resi-

dent Manual in front of it. There you

will find Council meeting minutes,

committee descriptions, a list of chairs

and conveners of committees and spe-

cial purpose groups, and more.

KORA Annual Reports Due October 15

Each October all of the groups related to KORA (Committees, Subcommittees, and Special Interest Groups) make annual reports of their activities for the pre-sent calendar year. These reports are essential to our Kendal at Oberlin commu-nity for several reasons. • They inform KORA Council and our entire community of the many activities

that are being carried out. • They aid the work of the Coordination Committee of KORA in overseeing

and harmonizing the work and activities of the various groups. • They provide each group an annual opportunity to review its ongoing pur-

pose, its current activity, and its plans for the future. The KORA Coordinating Committee is now sending out report forms with a cover letter. The form will be delivered as a Word document via email and is to be returned in the same manner. Any chairperson or contact person who does not use email and needs a paper report form should contact Coordination Com-mittee Chair, Gary Olin.

Sunday Movies in

Jameson House at 7:00pm

All three September art show recep-

tions were well attended. At the Au-

gust reception for the work of David

Soltész displayed in the Friends Gal-

lery, Tom Konkoly gave an exceptional

talk on the life and art of David, with

one of the largest reception audiences

in memory.

The reception for the Community

Gallery show of art by persons in the

Grafton Correctional Institution was

attended by about 60 residents who

heard several officials from the GCI

speak about the Creative Arts Program

there. We were fortunate to have War-

den LaShann Eppinger; Eric Gar-

denhire, director of the creative arts

program; Dessie Cheers, founder of

the CAP; and other staff of the GCI at

Kendal for this event. All spoke mov-

ingly of the importance of the program

for the men at the GCI and of the im-

portance of publicly exhibiting the art

at Kendal. The Art Committee looks

forward to a continuing relationship

with this vital program.

At the reception for the Kendal Gal-

lery show of the County Fair photo-

graphs of Stephen Tomasko, we

learned that most of his photographs

were taken in the early morning when

the light was best and before the fair-

grounds became too crowded. All were

candid shots of interesting events or

people as they caught his eye, without

cropping or altering in any way.

All of our galleries now have

special displays as part of the

celebration of Kendal at

Oberlin’s 25th year. The Kendal

Gallery offers an exhibit of docu-

ments, posters, and photographs that

trace our community’s history from

early planning meetings through con-

struction to connections with the

college, activities, and service to the

community through the years.

Both the Community and Friends

Galleries are exhibiting displays

from Kendal committees and interest

groups arranged in a modern quilt

design that echoes the Founders

Quilt. The many posters, photos,

programs, brochures, paintings, and

historical data show what the more

than 100 committees and other resi-

dent groups have accomplished dur-

ing the past 25 years.

As part of our 25th Anniversary

celebrations, two special exhibits

were in downtown Oberlin. At

FAVA, works by 35 Kendal resident

artists have been installed in the

smaller South Gallery, where they

will remain until October 28. The

works include paintings, watercolors,

photographs, quilts, collages, ceram-

ics, a drawing, a mobile, an art doll,

an embroidered piece, and a lace col-

lar. For two weeks in September, an

additional display was on view at the

Mudd Library. It consisted of photo-

graphs showing Kendal’s connections

with the college and the community.

All of these exhibits affirm how

Kendal residents have created a won-

derfully vibrant cultural, intellectual,

and social life.

time student of U.S. national security

matters. The global power balance is

rapidly evolving, leaving the U.S. at a

turning point with respect to its level

of engagement and the role of its

military. Some argue for an “America

First” paradigm, with a large military

to ensure security, while others call

for a more assertive posture overseas.

Kendal Resale Shop Talk

Benefitting Kendal Residents Assistance

Fund and Community Charities

Lingering warm weather caused us to

extend our special end-of-summer

clothing sale through the Labor Day

weekend. After that, we cleared off all

the clothing racks in the Shop to make

room for a special sale that focused on

fall and winter coats and jackets. (We

had accumulated a sizeable inventory of

donated cold-weather outerwear over

the spring and summer months.) I’m

pleased to report that both our special

sales were very successful.

Now that the cooler weather is here,

our Shop is featuring fall and winter

clothing again. Almost every day, we

put out more wonderful bargains for

resale. Come refresh your wardrobe!

KRS deposits to the Residents Assis-

tance Fund for the month of August

totaled $3,707.50. Thanks to all our

donors and shoppers!

DID YOU KNOW? For safety rea-

sons, we cannot display kitchen and

other sharp knives for resale in our

KRS showroom. (A kitchen knife is any

knife that is intended to be used in food

preparation, such as a chef’s knife, par-

ing knife, cleaver.) Whenever such

knives are donated to KRS, we post an

announcement on our bulletin board so

interested buyers can call us to view and

purchase them.

THANK YOU! Keep those dona-

tions coming and keep shopping the

KRS!

10th KORA President: Nancy Hultquist 2009-2010

Nancy was elected KORA president in 2009 after serving one year on Council. During her two years as president, the website took off and

Souper Suppers were started to raise funds for Oberlin Community Services. Nancy made a special effort to reach out to other Kendals, and information sharing from them became a regular part of Council meetings. A joint health newsletter was produced with Kendal on Hudson and shared with Lexington. There was discussion about developing a dog park and maintaining the never- fully-functioning coffee machine for making lattes. Moving KORA Council meetings to Heiser Auditorium made them more interactive and accessible, and attendance continued to increase. Nancy began using the Elmo for pro-jecting important items on the screen at KORA meetings. She worked hard to ensure that residents received updates and information from administration about finances, occupancy, and other matters. She believes strongly that resi-dents need to make decisions about activities that affect our lives. KORA is

the place where this happens and where residents take the lead. Nancy and her husband Don moved into Kendal in 2002 from Ann Arbor, MI. She was trained as an occupational therapist but was sidetracked by many moves, the raising of five children, and a “temporary” position as church sec-retary which she held for 19 years. She was the first editor of Eureka! and pro-duced the health newsletter for many years. She headed the Genealogy Interest Group, and has done extensive genealogical research and written a book on her ancestry. She loves all kinds of crafts, traveling, swimming, and dancing, and she enjoys being a grandparent. She has long been active in the peace community. She continues to contribute to the Association and most recently worked with other residents wiring lights for Heiser Auditorium. Thank you, Nancy, for your service as president and your continuing com-mitment to KORA!

KatO Artists, Writers, MANA Shine in State Competition

Kendal at Oberlin residents joined in the 25th Anniversary of the LeadingAge

throughout Ohio.

Our winners were: Cooperative Art, Kendal’s Clay Workshop, 3rd place, with

Elfin Inn, created by Jill Wettersten and Joyce Parker; Photography, Paul

Schwaegerle, 1st place, Lone Boat Off Digby Neck, and Linda Grashoff, 3rd

in Fine Art 1 and 2; Ruth Schwaegerle and Joyce Parker in 3D Art; Kathy Cald-

well in Computer Art and Photography; Mary Louise VanDyke in Woven Arts;

Janet Kelsey Werner in Needle Arts; Mary Louise VanDyke, Joyce Parker, and

the Flower Arrangers in Cooperative Art.

Congratulations to all the KatO winners and participants whose pieces of art

and writing were exhibited in this year’s LeadingAge state show!

Kendal’s MANA (Management Assistance for Nonprofit Agencies) won the

state award for Excellence in Volunteer Service by a group. The MANA group

coordinates retired volunteer seniors for business consultation in Lorain County.

Founded in 2003 by Don Illig and led by Dick Baznik since 2010, the group re-

sponds to the needs of nonprofit groups in the community. ~Harol Pesuit


From The John Bartram Arboretum:

Our Third Birthday

The creation of an arboretum on the

campus of Kendal at Oberlin followed

a conversation over dinner between

two resident couples in the summer of

2015. Why not gather others to work

together on sustainable urban arbori-

culture, creating a landscape for enjoy-

ing nature’s beauty right where we

live? We quickly found support from

KatO administration, KORA, and its

residents to move ahead. As a com-

munity based on Quaker values, we

decided to name the arboretum in

honor of John Bartram, the Pennsyl-

vania Quaker and friend of Benjamin

Franklin who is known as America’s

first botanist. He sent the American

Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) to

Europe, and it created a sensation

when it was first seen abroad. Since it

was also right for our climate and soil,

we chose it as our signature tree.

The process of becoming an arbore-

tum was formalized in December

when The John Bartram Arboretum

at Kendal at Oberlin was accredited as

a Level I arboretum by ArbNet, join-

ing Kendal at Longwood and Cross-

lands as continuing care retirement

communities with arboreta.

Since then the committee has:

• Raised funds to support arboricul-ture from donations, KORA, a 2015 Kendal Charitable Funds grant, a 2016 ArbNet 5th Anniversary Ca-pacity Building grant, and a com-memorative tree program

• Placed interpretive tags on trees • Developed outreach programs with

the Kendal Early Learning Center, the City of Oberlin, the Depart-ments of Environmental Studies and Geology at Oberlin College, the Ohio Independent Arborist Associ-ation, and the Ohio Division of Forestry

• Established a tree nursery to enlarge and diversify our collection

• Established an assessment system whereby each tree planted is regu-larly evaluated

Big Bus Trip Spend a Day in Amish Country Wed., Oct. 3 - 9:00am-5:00pm

NOTE: Bus leaves at 9:00am. We’ll visit scenic Holmes County to enjoy the fall beauty of rural Ohio and expe-rience the culture of our nation’s larg-est Amish-Mennonite settlement. Contact: Gary Olin.

When I visit a resident in Stephens

Care Center, I don’t ask

“How are you today?”

Instead I introduce my-

self and explain who I am.

Then I comment about something in

the room like an art piece, quilt, or

pottery vase. These things are very

important to their owners and I usu-

ally get a response. If not, I comment

on something else.

STAY CONNECTED!

• Developed a Sustainable Urban Forest Management Plan

• Embarked on the construction of a web-based geographical infor-mation system (GIS) map of the arboretum

• Created the first in a planned series of interpretive tree walks As a three-year-old in a wonderful

family, our Arb is full of enthusiasm,

trying to run at full speed but some-

what unstable on its feet, learning at a

fast clip, yet in need of guidance and

resources. We welcome your support

as we celebrate our first three years

and embrace the future of our land

and our trees.

Nest Box News

The Kendal nest boxes had a banner

breeding year! In a box just across the

New Russia Township line near Rock

Pond, Eastern Bluebirds successfully

fledged a brood of four chicks. Most

amazing, the nest box by Meadow

Pond fledged two successive broods of

Eastern Bluebirds for the first time!

These broods of four chicks fledged

bring Kendal’s total to 12 Eastern

Bluebird chicks successfully reared in

our nest boxes.

There were also several American

Tree Swallows nesting in our boxes –

one of the nests by Island Pond always

attracts them as they love flying over

the water catching insects. But the

lawns also stir up insects, and the nest

boxes along Wildflower Hill also host-

ed tree swallows. Our diligence has

been paying off! ~Nina Love

Table Tennis Reopens

After a one-month break, on Septem-

ber 17 table tennis returned to the now

relit auditorium. That same day saw

visiting coach Doyle Harbaugh back to

putting a good half-dozen players

through their paces. Once again, thir-

teen turned out, matching our average

per session during the past months.

Several new residents, whom curiosi-

ty led to our click-clack, knew − pre-

warned − that we call our sport table

tennis. One remarked that he’d first

need to sharpen his reflexes. But the

sharpening occurs as we practice, with-

out strain at home or elsewhere.

If you’re looking for improved en-

durance, better “ping pong” skills, and

lots of fun in the process, join the table

tennis circle! ~Sidney Rosenfeld

Thoughtful Eating, Round 2

The response to September’s plant-

based meal was very positive. By popu-

lar request, the Kendal culinary staff

began to plan the menu for another

specially prepared meal in October that

would be as delicious and as varied as

the September meal: Plant-based Indi-

an Cuisine. But the “Taste of India”

dinner must be postponed until No-

vember due to unexpected staffing

complications and the press of 25th

Anniversary events.

Once again, seating will be limited to

about 20-25 diners and a sign-up sheet

will be provided. Look on the activities

bulletin board for a poster with the

designated November date.

Questions? Contact Carla or Bob

VanDale.

Food Composting Trial

The Environmental Concerns Commit-

tee is launching a two-month (October-

November) trial to see if residents can

reduce the amount of garbage we send

to the landfill by composting the food

waste produced in our cottages and

apartments. The Kendal kitchen al-

ready sends all its food waste to Barnes

Nursery, which composts the material.

You will find free compost bags on the

shelf near the napkin return in Lang-

ston, thanks to the Environmental

Concerns Committee. Please take no

more than 2 at a time. Fill a bag with

kitchen food waste, tie it tightly, and

put it on the conveyor belt in Langston

for the kitchen staff to add to the com-

post bins. USE ONLY COMPOSTA-

BLE BAGS!

Questions? Contact Dina Schoon-

maker at [email protected]

New Policy for Brunch

in Fox & Fell Dining Room

In response to the feedback from the

Resident Satisfaction Survey, we hope

to alleviate the long wait time at the

Fox & Fell Sunday brunch check-in

and buffet by asking for reservations

for seating between 11:30am-12:15pm,

and for groups of five or more people.

Without a reservation, you may be

asked to wait in Heiser Lounge before

being seated in the dining room.

This new policy should benefit eve-

ryone: less wait time in line and hotter

food. We welcome your feedback.

~Ann Pilisy

MEET, GREET, AND EAT Returns on Monday, October 22!

Kendal residents enjoy this opportunity to share a meal with other residents with

whom they don’t usually eat. Just sign up in advance, come to the Heiser Lounge

at 5:30pm, and draw a number which will correspond to your table in the Fox

and Fell or William Penn, where you will meet your tablemates. You get your

meals as you usually do, either by ordering from the menu or going to the buffet.

There will be no program: just “Meet, Greet, and Eat.”

The sign-up sheet will be posted below the open mailboxes on Mon., Oct.

15. Only 130 diners can be accommodated, so sign up early! Please help our din-

ing staff by signing up no later than noon on Sat., Oct. 20. Do join us and don’t

forget to wear your name tags. The usual dining options in Langston and the

Fox and Fell will be available for those who do not want to participate. Because

of limited seating, this event is open to Kendal at Oberlin residents only.

Scripture Contemplation

The Lectio Divina group, now called

Scripture Contemplation, meets at

3:00pm in the Whittier Lounge on the

first and third Sundays of the month.

Lectio Divina is a Latin term mean-

ing “divine reading.” It is a way of

reading Scriptures in which we gradu-

ally let go of our own agendas and

open ourselves to what God has to say

to us. It’s a natural movement toward

greater simplicity, with less and less

talking and more listening. Gradually

the words of Scripture begin to dis-

solve and the Word is revealed before

the eyes of our hearts.

Lectio Divina may involve discuss-

ing the implications of the Word of

God for daily life, but it cannot be re-

duced to this. As a way of praying the

Scriptures it has been a fruitful source

of growing in relationship with Christ

for many centuries, and in our own

day it is being rediscovered by many

individuals and groups. The Word of

God is able to transform each of us if

we open ourselves to receive what

God has to give us.

If you are interested, you are always

welcome! ~Milt Ellis
