PAUL’S RUN 9896 BUSTLETON AVE, PHILADELPHIA PA 19115 NOVEMBER 2019

“When the squirrels hide their acorns,

And the woodchucks disappear;

Then we know that it is autumn,

Loveliest season of the year.”

- Carol L. Riser

ALL ABOUT NOVEMBERNovember is derived from the Latin word novem, which means nine, because it was

originally the ninth month in the Roman calendar. The earliest Roman calendar consisted

of 10 months and 304 days. It was the Roman ruler Numa Pompilius who added January

and February. Though the Roman senate attempted to rename the month on several

occasions, no new name could be decided upon. Hence, the name November stuck.

BIRTHSTONE – YELLOW TOPAZThe symbol of friendship as well as November’s birthstone, the yellow topaz is said to

strengthen one’s capacity to give and receive love. It is also believed to make one more

aware of their actions and how those actions affect others. Topaz is found in a variety of

shades, from the traditional golden hue to reds, oranges and pinks. It is found in many

parts of the world, including the U.S., Brazil, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Russia.

FLOWER – CHRYSANTHEMUMNovember’s flower is the chrysanthemum, translated from Greek to mean “gold flower”.

For centuries, the flower was the official badge of the Old Chinese Army. In Japan, it was

featured on the Imperial Crest of Japan, and Japanese emperors sat upon

chrysanthemum thrones. Though the flower represents cheerfulness and rest, individual

colors have specific meanings. Red, stands for love good luck and best wishes. White

stands for truth and Violet is used to send get-well-wishes. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

American Kestrels are small but mighty

raptors, the smallest of the falcon family.

Along with their dainty size comes

incredible speed and agility. They can fly up

to 39 mph!

Male kestrels are striking in appearance,

with white bellies, orange backs striped

with black and slate-blue wings. The

female’s plumage is reddish-brown, and

they are larger and more muscular than

males.

American kestrels migrate from Argentina

to as far north as Alaska. Instead of

constructing nests, they occupy old

woodpecker holes, crevices in barns, or

other human made structures. Scientists

aren’t sure why kestrel numbers are

steadily declining. Some suggest the

destruction of grasslands is the cause.

One way to help preserve this bird of prey

is to build a kestrel box for a pair to nest in.

Kestrels perch in open spaces to hunt, and

their fancy flying patterns are endearing

and entertaining.

BEAVER MOONColonial Americans and the Algonquin

Native American tribe referred to

November’s full moon as the Beaver Moon.

This full moon marked the time of year

that beaver traps needed to be set before

the swamps froze, ensuring a supply of

warm furs for the coming winter. Another

name for the November moon is the frost

moon.

NOVEMBER BIRTHDAYSIn astrology, those born November 1–22 are

the scorpions of Scorpio. Scorpios are

passionate and assertive, yet they are also

known to keep cool and calm. This

composure makes them good, steadfast

leaders and loyal and honest friends. Those

born between November 23–30 are centaur

archers of Sagittarius. Archers are curious,

energetic, and enjoy change, the restless

travelers of the zodiac. They are funny and

enthusiastic, cherishing freedom as their

greatest treasure.

This month I would like to highlight an article written

by Paul’s Run Dietician Stephanie Kowalski.

FIBER FUNDAMENTALS

Dietary Fiber is defined as, intact plant components

that are not broken down by digestive enzymes in the

body. It can be found in fruits, vegetables, legumes

and whole grains. There are 2 type of dietary fiber:

soluble and insoluble, both of which have many

benefits and should be included in a healthy diet.

Most fruits and vegetables are sources of both types

of fiber. For example, the skin of most fruits consists

of insoluble fiber, while the flesh contains soluble

fiber. It has been shown that populations with higher

fiber intake have lower rates of chronic diseases,

such as, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes,

certain cancers (such a colon and gastric) and

digestive disorders.

There are many benefits to having a diet high in

fiber. The most well-known benefit is that it promotes

There are many benefits to having a diet high in fiber. The most well-known benefit is that it

promotes regular bowel movements, which prevents constipation, hemorrhoids, flares ups of

diverticulitis and even colon cancer. Some less known benefits of a diet high in fiber are:

better regulation of blood sugar, help lowering LDL or “bad cholesterol” levels and promotion

of satiety or feeling full, which can lead to healthy weight loss. The National Dietary

Guidelines for Americans recommends that the average adult woman get 22-28 g of dietary

fiber per day and the average adult man get 28-34 g of dietary fiber per day. Talk to your

physician or registered dietitian about your specific needs, as these recommendations can

vary by age and can be impacted by medical history.

The best dietary fiber sources include: fruits (especially fresh fruit with skin), vegetables,

whole grain products (such as bread, cereal and pasta), beans and lentils, oatmeal, nuts,

seeds, bran products, brown rice and quinoa. When increasing your

fiber intake, be sure to do it slowly to prevent gas, bloating and

diarrhea. Also, be sure to drink adequate amounts of fluids while

increasing your fiber intake to prevent constipation.

LIBERTY NEWS—HYPOTHERMIA

WELL, IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR,

AGAIN!As you know, it's no secret that older adultscan lose body heat faster than when they wereyoung. According to the National Institute onAging, changes in our bodies that come withaging makes it harder for our bodies toregulate temperature and even the ability tosense cold lessens with age. This chill canresult in a serious problem called hypothermia.Hypothermia occurs when your bodytemperature gets very low and for an olderadult, that's 95*F or lower. The diminishedsensation in older adults may be a result ofunderlying medical conditions like diabetes, oreven some medicines may be the cause.Hypothermia may lead to serious healthproblems including heart attack, kidneyproblems, and liver damage. It can occur fromnot only being outside in the cold, but can alsocome from a cold house. With just taking a fewextra steps, you can lower your chances ofgetting hypothermia.

Tips to keep warm inside:

• Keep your heat at least 68-72*, you canclose off rooms you are not using.

• Dress warmly on cold days even if stayinginside, throw a blanket over your legs, andwear socks and slippers.

• Wear pajamas and use extra covers for bed(you can wear a cap if you get too cold).

• Make sure you eat well to keep up yourweight. If you don't eat, you may have lessbody fat under your skin which helps you tostay warm.

• Ask family members or friends to check onyou during the cold season.

When going out:

• If going out, let someone know.

• Make sure steps and walkways are clear.Using a mixture of cat litter and salt for icysteps and walkways can help prevent falls.

• Be sure to dress for the weather. Dressingin layered loose clothing allows the airbetween layers to help keep you warm.

• We lose a lot of body heat at our head andneck, be sure to wear hats and scarves.

• Wear a waterproof jacket or coat ifsnowing.

• Use hand warmers that fit into pockets orgloves to keep your hands toasty.Walgreen's carries reusable foot warmers,as well, for those chilly nights.

• Avoid Slipping on ice by wearing shoes withnon-skid soles and good traction.Remember to take then off as soon as youcome inside. This will help to avoid themelted ice on the bottom from leading toslippery floors.

• Change clothing right away when damp.

Warning signs of hypothermia:

• Cold hands and feet

• Puffy/swollen face

• Pale skin

• Slurred speech

• Feeling sleepy, drowsy

• Being confused or angry

If you suspect you or someone else haswarning signs of hypothermia, call 9-1-1.

Music Therapy NotesWe begin each week in Music &

Memories by singing and sharing a

pleasant experience from the previous

week. In October, group members

rewrote the lyrics to our opening song, to

the tune, Oh What a Beautiful Morning. I

strongly believe the lyrics are reflective of

what occurs in our group and I’d like to

share them with you:

Oh the sun is shining so brightly,

And the bird are chirping so nicely.

The children are laughing and having

such fun,

It’s a wonderful day here at Paul’s Run.

Oh what a beautiful morning.

Oh what a beautiful day.

I’ve got a beautiful feeling,

Everything’s going my way.

Today we all sing together.

We share our hopes and our memories.

We spend time as friends, don’t want it

to end.

We can’t wait ‘til next week, we’ll do it

again.

Oh what a beautiful day!

Musically,

Molly

A HERO

BY: ARNOLD ESCOURT

Some think you have to be big and strong

That you have to be a star or sportsman.

To think a hero is a super, special someone is

wrong

They don’t need to climb a high mountain or fire

a gun

My younger cousin was a real hero to me

Suffering from bone cancer in his hospital bed he

had to lay

Sweetness and kindness in his face were clear to

see,

But also, in terrible agony and pain every hour,

every day.

He truly had real faith in God above

And for months he bore the awful pain.

He had a wife and young son and gave his share

of love

And stoically bore his fate and all the strain.

He quietly told me from his bed,

“I’m not afraid if I have to soon die!”

I listened while through the intravenous he was

being fed.

“I have a question between just you and I!”

“I’m not afraid to die,” he quietly and sincerely

said

“But why must I continue to suffer with all this

pain?”

A tear rolled down his cheek as he lay

uncomfortable in his hospital bed

While the streets outside were soaked with rain.

It took a long time and the bone cancer caused

him to die

I didn’t know the answer to his needs and quest.

Without a doubt here was a true hero and I had

to sigh!

As a hero he indeed stood a lot taller than the

rest!

SO FULL AWARE

BY: ARNOLD ESCOURT

To me, you are so beautiful, so very much aware

With shinning locks of reddish, lustrous hair.

You are lovely, charming with those warm, red lips

Your unmentioned promises so close to my fingertips.

Your captivating voice, mellifluous and urging me to stay.

What you whisper is enchanting in a charming, enticing way.

Your eyes sparkle like the dew of early spring,

Skin delicate as a humming bird’s wing.

So often the enticing moon lingered high overhead

Demanded that “good nights” be said.

Recklessly, I needed to remain as long as dawn

To freeze your spell before it could be gone.

I lost my head, I lost my heart,

For a while you and I had to part.

But I returned and lingered year after year

Happily, because of you, my darling dear.

ON BEING OLDER BY JACK BIRNBAUM

Getting older one thinks with less time,

things I should have done, now it’s too late

As I am known as rebellious, I compiled a

list of contrary thoughts it, to abdicate

It’s not too late to apologize if any of my

remarks were insulting, have given pain

It’s not too late to tell my children and

grandchildren I love you, again and again

It’s not too late to tell my son and daughters

in-law of loving thoughts, I do retain

It’s not too late to regret my faults and

pledge to rectify it, and them, to now revise

It’s not too late to regret exaggerations to

make myself larger, I am the same size

It’s not too late to regret having spoken in

anger, a fault that calls for my being fair

It’s not to late to regret if one was reaching

for a friend, somehow, I wasn’t there

It’s not too late to recognize the sacrifices

made by both my parents to get me here

Installing honesty, love of country and love

for learning, built a construct. of tiers

It’s not too late for me to learn I relish

learning from this community, it’s a blast

It’s not late to thank Paul’s Run letting me

share my future, my present, my past

Some things I said, or even things that were

left unsaid, give me pause to meditate

I wish I had told my first wife Claire the

good of being as one, the bad was of fate

I did at her request often sing to Rhoda and

she loved it, seemed to be entranced

I wish I told her how I felt more often, ruing

times missed for us to have danced

I wish I had stayed in touch with boyhood

friends so much a part of who I became

And co-workers, clients I lived and learned

with 40-years of a social works game

And lastly in the last eight years at Paul’s

Run The apex of learning and experience

I worried of losing touch after Rhoda died,

but friends, Charlie made for relevance

We, six other residents, sat together for

three years, a festival of being always glad

Our meals were filled with conversation,

jokes, wisdom and song, never being sad

And so, without realizing it I have

constructed a rhapsody on becoming one of

age

With use of poetry as my voice, I have

registered my views of time and being sage

I am privileged to continue it for however

long, in company of, sisters and brothers

There is no reason not to buy green

bananas when ripe to be used, eaten by

others

A school house is made up of rooms

With our todays and tomorrows inside.

Our schools are like a lush garden

Where only natural beauty can reside.

A school has pencils and books

And great teachers to stir a fertile mind.

Our classrooms are a critical link to history

Connecting our past to a future find.

Our schools are a caring parent’s vision

Of high hopes and tenderness.

A lesson plan is a teacher’s scheme

Of providing insight and learning synthesis.

Each school is the child’s place

To be cared for and to be inspired.

Our schools are our perpetual platform

Upon which our flag in freedom can be raised.

Our children are our active, living tomorrows

Running, jumping and learning at a proper pace.

Quality learning is our only hope

Toward really improving the human race!

IT’S ABOUT ME

BY JACK BIRNBAUM

It occurs to me that I never wrote a poem of a

life’s joys as part of our long journey

That is an oversight I intend to rectify here and

now and aboard this, poetic gurney

That is not to say life has no grief, but rather to

tout the splendor of the longish trip

For those of us in Paul’s Run, pleasure starts in

fellowship holding fast to lifes grip

It began in good fashion born in or reaching this

shore, not perfect, but of the best

Our lives in America, no matter how grim,

compared to the world other, no contest

The future ours and our progeny, and its

promise, more in our control in such a test

As government in control is responsible for

gaining approval in the ruling of a nest

Americans use opportunity, not all, as

commitment to equality is yet a work in play

Not perfect, but no other world society has

advanced any closer to reach such a day

Even so I rejoice that I have life that’s bathed in

song and melodies of many a kind

Songs of Sinatra, Streisand, Gilbert and

Sullivan, George Gershwin come to mind

Ensembles as string quartets, orchestras, Dixie

land bands, all of musical rhapsody

Their presence cast a spell, enriched my mind

and soul into a veritable symphony

I have lived with love initially bequeathed by

parents and in the embrace of family

Then the love of comradery of learning.

experiences of teamwork in life and play

Into this era love of learning entered my orbit

and it became a life-long obsession

All of one’s life became part of a curriculum, or

as a part of a never-ending lesson

Romantic love and passion result in mating

with children in a family’s procession

Then prescribing the recycling of parental love

with the social mentoring sessions

During this trip I loved many things, it begins

with an eternal learning, my first love

My musical love is consuming from Mozart to

the somewhere a rainbow and above

I stand in awe of Van Gogh, Monet, Botticelli

and Picasso, their paintings are divine

Sculptures of Donatello Michelangelo and

Rodin go far beyond just being very fine

And history, particularly Americas founding

fathers, always do capture my attention

The word masters from Shakespeare, Lincoln,

M.L. King, others too many to mention

And then baseball, with my beloved N.Y.

Yankees, seem always to being in contention

This then being a summery or an itinerary of my

life journey in time, up to the present

I hope you found it of interest and I can assure

you of being welcome into this, my tent

I hope that I will be able through our contacts to

share with you my accumulated content

WORDS, MEANINGS AND MAKING A CHOICE

BY JACK BIRNBAUM

Language is the tool allowing man and beast to

reside and coexist in group and survive

cohabitation

The animal languages, primitive, in use for

survival in choosing a mate and leader in a

danger situation

Predator groups, more extensive language

defining hunting role, carrion hierarchy in

devouring meat

Most animal language non-verbal, acting out with

sound, as advanced groups used clubs to

compete

Primitive man, less mobile made pictures in

caves of tools a history for others to use and

emulate

Man evolved in use of tools, verbal identification,

words and language were a part of mans pate

History our heritage, words and language

conveyors of art, keepers of faith, vaults of

philosophy

Their job of keeping history is important but even

more so there is their task to value life’s tree

Words in themselves embody thoughts, in

combination, they convey beauty, they are our

estate

They allow us to communicate with many a tool,

promote us to we, open the vistas to life’s gate

They keep secrets, make pronouncements,

educate and influence, carry ideas and ideals, to

creation

Their grouping into languages serves as group

identification, promotes culture, breeds a nation

Their importance demands careful use in

carrying forth valued usage designating

their intent

We must guard against their misuse, inadvertent

or other, that seek to use them in malevolence

Of the many words precious words in our

democracy I can think of three, worthy of such

protection

Of many, these words to me to reflect our core

concepts, which I hope will explain their selection

The first word I feel must be a guide in our

democracy is a word a quality to honor, is

integrity

An uncommon adherence to ethical principles

and morality, honest of character must we be

Our leadership is to rule by law reflecting the will

of the nation and, these like the wind, sail a ship

Bring energy to the sails, meaning to our helm,

and power to our prow, in such a wonderful trip

Our first captains, the founding fathers grasped

such virtue, committed to unity with this tool

Their successors have in general made use

integrity, in varying degree, being from this

school

The second word I feel with energy, is a character

designation of loyalty, a path to use in our task

It should be applied not as in royalty, not to a

person but, as companion to integrity it, should

bask

It is sometimes viewed as patriotism, it is

voluntary by definition, it is also used to express

unity

It does however, not clash with dissent an action

to disagree, used in democracy as part of a duty

The third member word in trio is clemency, also

empathy, but in law, clemency is in play

As man is not perfect, criminal sanctions are

used for those violators held in prison to stay

Although a resolution, this outcome is reviewed

periodically and clemency is a consideration

Clemency evaluates inmate behavior, against

effects on victim’s family, in making a

determination

Such a program values an individual’s growth to

change allowing a restoration of basic rights

Validation of our Independence Declaration

guidelines of inalienability rights with much

might

In November the voters must decide whether to

continue this administration or it now to abort

This is the rule of law; the rule of, by and for a

people to endure: Our ship of state, is back in

port

AL JOLSON A MUSICAL LEGACY

BY JACK BIRNBAUM

When it comes to singing there is many a

vocalist of melodious voice that turned me on

I think of Frank Sinatra’s smooth purring voice,

legato style, often made me feel real gone

Then Tony Bennet comes to mind his versatility

let him to sing any style and make it ring

When Mel Torme would take off on a riff his

energy and musicality, it became my thing

There are Streisand, Garland, Como, Pavarotti,

Southerland and many other voices I love

But one, Al Jolson, is very special to me as his

message and meanings fit me like a glove

Besides his energy and vocal texture, there are

two reasons I think make him, very special

His singing of a time past, an era of paddle boats

and rafts on the river, no traffic to wrestle

America was younger, the auto was in infancy

and the pace of life slower, a great memory

And second his style was derived from two

differing sources both being important for me

Early in his career Jolson was infatuated with

Negro music both in jazz, as well as the blues

He incorporated their styles, used their melodies,

implanted their lyrics, keeping them true

In his youth Jolson was the cantor for his father,

the Rabbi of a small city’s congregation

His style also reflected the pathos and ecstasy of

Hebrew ritual he learned in this situation

Their influence on Jolson’s style was a result of

common experiences these groups endured

Both Blacks and Jews were enslaved and

discriminated, it was part of their music literature

All of interest to me in view of Jolson’s style and

his choice of lyrics and subject, for sure

I am delighted that Jolson’s art and song are

recorded, his legacy will in future fully, be read

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed, we

vowed our true love with words never said

Amen

FLOWERS

FOR THE CHAPELEach week, new flowers are

delivered to the Chapel on

Friday morning. The flowers

are provided for worship in

the Shabbat service on Friday

night and the Christian

service on Sunday morning.

The flowers are often given in

memory of loved ones or to

celebrate other occasions.

The $25 charge is used to

cover the cost of the flowers.

There is a sign-up sheet on

the main bulletin board by

the dining room. Josephine

Waldov or the Chaplain can

answer your questions.

Residents can sign up to

sponsor flowers individually

or as a group. Please feel free

to sign up and join in to

support this small beauty in

the Chapel.
