Happy Birthday!

All About October Harry Urkowitz 10/1
Catherine Eriksen 10/3
October is the tenth month of the year on the Ida Salmieri 10/3
Gregorian calendar, though its name stems from the Martin Elefant 10/5
Gloria Lipshutz 10/5
Latin octo, meaning “eight.” In early Roman times, October was Leatrice Levy 10/6
the eighth month on the calendar. Old England referred to it as Ann Gintis 10/7
Winmonth, meaning “wine month,” as October’s temperatures Norma Clibanoff 10/8
were ideal for making wine and cider. The Anglo-Saxons called Ingrid Gleisberg 10/8
October “Winterfylleth” because it marked and celebrated the Geraldine Robinson 10/8
beginning of winter. Anne Kelly 10/9

Music Therapy Notes

October is music therapy month in the state of Pennsylvania, and the Paul’s Run Community if
alive with the sound of music!

• Did you know that last month, over 120 different Paul’s Run residents participated in group and
individual music therapy sessions?
• Did you know that group music therapy sessions occur throughout the Paul’s Run community
and within all three levels of care?
• Did you know that ten group music therapy sessions occur weekly throughout Paul’s Run?
A common misconception is that you have to be musically talented to participate in music
therapy. While there is often a focus on active engagement and music making in sessions,
musical skill is not a requirement. Using music, music therapy seeks to help residents maintain
and improve their level of health. In sessions, we engage in cognitive/memory tasks, physical
movement, reminiscence, and group discussion. We share personal victories and challenges
and work to improve mood. We often play small percussion instruments or sing.

In Independent Living, group music therapy sessions occur on Tuesdays at 1:00 pm in
the Green House.

October 2017 Monthly Diary

By Jack Birnbaum
The movie program this month features three true biographic stories of musicians, who

through their talent and/or persona, are the subject of three feature films and one documentary
in this month’s program. They include Billie Holiday the great jazz singer, portrayed by Diana
Ross in the film Lady Sings Again, David Helfgott a childhood piano protégé portrayed by
Geoffrey Rush in the film Shine, and the opera singer Florence Foster Jenkins perhaps better
known for her persona than her singing, who is portrayed in a 1958 documentary as well as by
Meryl Street in a new film entitled Florence Foster Jenkins.
Lady Sings the Blues is about Billie Holiday, born Elenora Fagan in Philadelphia 1915
and died 1959 at the age of 44. In her 30 year career this American jazz musician and singer-
songwriter through her vocal style inspired by jazz instrumentalists and her improvisational
skills exerted an ongoing influence on American music and earned her four Grammy awards and
Hall of Fame status.
After a turbulent childhood, Holiday began singing in nightclubs in Harlem gaining her
a contract with Brunswick records in 1935. Throughout the 1930’s and 1940’s Holiday had
mainstream success on recording labels of Columbia and Decca but by the late 1940’s. Beset by
legal problems and drug abuse, she served a short prison sentence, and later performed in a sold-
out concert at Carnegie Hall. But as her drug problems continued her reputation deteriorated
until her death in 1959. The Lady Sings the Blues film was released in 1973.

The Movie- Shine is about the life of the Piano protégé David Helfgott born in Melbourne
Australia in 1947 where he is still living with his second wife. Helfgott was born into a family of
Polish Jews, survivors of the holocaust. His father began teaching him to play the piano at the age
of 5, whence he won several local competitions, sometimes alone and sometimes with his elder
sister, Margaret. By the age of 17 he had won the state final of the ABC instrumental and vocal
competition six times. Some local musicians raised money for him too study in America, but his
father refused to let him go. By the age of 19 Helfgott won a scholarship to the Royal College of
London where he was awarded a prize for a best performance of a Concerto (Rachmaninoff ’s
concerto No. 30) and the prestigious Marmaduke Barton Prize. However, in London he began
to manifest increasing symptoms of schizoaffective disorder and he had to return to Perth where
he worked as a rehearsal pianist for the Western Australian opera and took part in several ABC
concerts. He then was institutionalized in a Perth mental hospital(Grasslands) and over the next
ten years he underwent psychiatric treatment which included psychotropic medication and

electroconvulsive therapy. His brother Les, found him in a wine bar in Perth called Riccardo’s
where he met an astrologer, Gillian Murray whom he married later that year. The family
contends that the film Shine, mischaracterized their father who was not overbearing, but only
refused permission to go to America to study, over concern for his welfare.
Florence Foster Jenkins is a unique musical phenomenon in that, her vocal performances
were universally critiqued as containing constant tempo variations, rhythmic mistakes,
with inaccurate intonation as well as having sub-standard diction, particularly with foreign
language lyrics. Her chosen solos were well beyond her technical ability and vocal range, but,
paradoxically this seemed only to enhance her popularity!
The initial exploration of this phenomenon comes with the viewing of the documentary film
of 1958 which details the life of this socialite born in 1868 and who died in in 1944 at the age of
76. Originally a talented pianist who, as a 7-year-old, performed in public and gained a passion
for public performance when, an arm injury aborted her pianistic career. At her father’s death,
she inherited “a sizeable trust” and determined to continue her musical career as a singer by
arranging tableau’s, dressing in elaborate costumes of her own design. She would then arrange
private recitals for her friends singing arias from opera standards such as by Mozart, Verdi, and
lieder by Brahms and even some songs written by her accompanist and herself. Not only were
there favorable reviews of her recitals (possibly written by herself or friends) in specialty music
publications but, a coterie of admirers such an Opera impresario who wrote “Jenkins was so
exquisitely. so bad, that it added up to quite a good evening of theatre” and Enrico Caruso was
quoted as saying he regarded her with affection and respect. So. When Florence Foster Jennings
held her only public concert in Carnegie hall and it was sold out and over 2000 patrons were
turned away at the performance, you had to know this is a story worth telling and that someone
like Meryl Street would be the right actress to tell it. I hope you enjoy the 2016 version of
Florence Foster Jenkins, shown in this month’s program.
I hope this article will increase your pleasure in watching these three musicals as well as the
other films in this month’s movie program.

October 2017 Monthly Diary I

By Jack Birnbaum

A poem-Looking back

As time flies by, I find myself, suddenly, at ninety-one, becoming aged and grey
And I’m filled with emotion as I reminisce, the many stops, made along the way
I recall the impatience of youth to reach out, to understand, my wonder, of being
The sounds, the sights, tastes, the smells, and activity that I had begun now seeing
So, I greedily reached to absorb all as, it all appeared of importance, to one’s life
And in sum this became my identity, inclusive of learning, as an ongoing device
Then came emotions, often contrary but still having impact on life, as, love-- hate,
Bravery--cowardice, passion-- placidity, greed-- sharing, which demand selection
Influencing mankind, myself included, in choosing mates, careers, even an election
Or friends or enemy’s, by filtering emotions through the wisdom one has collected
So, now I feel a need to look back and determine how, such choices were effected

Since humans are imperfect, choices should not be measured against perfection
I, like most wonder, if allowed the opportunity, would I revise any past selection
Looking back, totaling the years of learning and experience I’ve accrued in life
I can surmise that, my early selections might have improved by at least a trice
Were I able to make use of such a vast collected treasury of wisdom, for advice
However, such a situation never would, nor never could have come into fruition
So, selections were made through existing frames of reference and using intuition
And even imperfect, those selections sprang from the heart, were well intentioned
Designed to fulfill those hopes and dreams which were often multi-dimensioned

As I am now in my dotage and find the past is, with the present, intertwined
Wisdom & knowledge gained through life, are housed as a unit, within my mind
Recognizing the human equation does not, in its make-up, include perfection
I’d like to believe my latter selections, do fall within the range of satisfaction
And some, as this poem, go beyond, reach out to fuel a community of intimacy
As the movie selections shown over the years have been films of a varied focus
About people in dramatic situations, romance, and Comedic, or living in a rush
Plus, mysteries, adventures, documentary’s, swashbuckling epics of life in tents
Offering entertainment, emotional involvement, provoking thought, and relevance
And doing so, I am fulfilling Paul’s Run mantra of becoming, all that I can be
And I believe, I have brought others in our residentiary to come along, with me

So, I write following a tradition begun by cavemen scrawling pictures on a wall
Continued for centuries by unnamed scribes, in our time by letters large and small
Citing “Kilroy Was Here” all designed to transmit presence over a time continuum
With expectations that mankind will continue to search for clues to add to the sum
Of human life, searching the rummages of time and seeking the beat of a past drum
Which will then continue to shed a light on mankind’s struggles in finding its way
And come across these words which would announce yes, I have been here today!

October 2017 Monthly Diary II

By Jack Birnbaum

You know I really don’t ever have to worry about what to write next, as new ideas keep
assaulting my imagination almost every night. So, over the last two weeks an idea I have thought
about finally, forced its way into my consciousness. It is my vision of a gallery of verbal portraits
of residents, past and present, whom I have gotten to know over the past six plus years at Paul’s
Run. I believe the best way to describe this project is to begin to describe what will not be a part
of it, before describing what will be part of it.
Firstly, it will not deal with gossip or who did what to whom, nor will it deal with rumor or
in speculation as to what may happen because of something which did happen, Rather, it will
profile different residents and some staff on their activities , using verse or, if appropriate, essay,
to reach inside the person and to define their character not just their features, as painters of
portraits usually do.
Secondly, some the resident’s I am going to profile are individuals who may not have stood out
in the various social situations or in programmatic events, but, who in their simplicity and their
sincerity provided qualities which are deserving of recognition and acclimation as well. Another
class of residents who I see are deserving of being profiled are the residents who speak out on
issues which they see as stand in the way or impeding the achievement of the stated goals at
Paul’s Run. All of these will provide inspiration as well as mentoring not just to this community,
but to communities yet to come.
One further class I shall be profiling is small in number but valuable as their character runs
counter to the culture fostered by Paul’s Run and in so doing can teach residents what is not to be
done as well as developing of measures to counter such conduct.
It is my hope that these profiles will be of interest and perhaps even stimulate others to write
such profiles for each year which in the least will establish a living history of each generation
which will have resided at Paul’s Run. Think of That !

Bernie Halkin- a word portrait # 2

This month presents one of the first word portraits in the Paul’s Run resident gallery. I hope
you enjoy it.
In his youth Bermie Halkin’ s fingers flew lightly over a keyboard, as, in a caress
Making sounds of melody, be it songs or Jazz riffs, all pleasure for ears, to assess
Whilst his gift of putting words together birthed many a short story for us, to read
As he made use of keen observations of human behavior very interesting, indeed
His skill, evident with graphic arts as, with collage and paintings, and he did excel
Blending colors amongst the shapes and employing some different fabrics as well
By the time, he came to Paul’s Run Bernie’s, skills, while retained, were a bit less
In playing the piano the melodies still pleasurable, were played in a tempo, slower
And his stories some new, but often rerun story’s, yet valid and yet, with power
And in the art shows Bernie would exhibit those items painted in the days of yore
Although, Bernie brought qualities that enriched our community, that much more

Since Bernie in life never sought greatness, he was committed to learning in place
And the fruit of wisdom were evident by manner, and the deep furrows on his face
He related to others with compassion sharing the milk of human kindness with all
Though when seeing injustices or inequities, he was not reluctant to raising the call
His presence for me was inspiraring, and his memory created, a warming sensation
I think that I, and others who knew him, we can all raise our voices, in celebration

Word Portrait- Edna Waxler # 3

At first look, Edna Waxler radiated satisfaction about her life, and who she’d been
Her demeaner confidant, in scanning a new face with an eye both sharp, and keen
While her manner was graceful and friendly, her eyes, focused, seeming to probe
To find what manner of man this was who, was newly entering her social abode
She saw the quest as non hostile, curious rather, as to what treasures were in store
In allowing him the permission to enter and become a group member, of the core
And so, I soon found myself accepted to being a member of a sterling dining table
Occupied by Edna and six others all affable in outlook, and all socially most able

There Edna, brought in her love of family and infused it, gracefully, into this space
Thereby serving to embolden our group to honor their love of family, here in place
Edna seemed comfortable having reached into the high nineties, continuing to age
While having gained the wisdom and peace of mind which enabled her to be a sage
She continued to enjoy companionship and yet, be able to empathize and also learn
She maintained her sense of humor and her sharp comments often, giving us, a turn

Now as I contemplate the memories of Edna Wexler, whom I fondly called friend
I am struck by her wisdom, her grace, and her commitment to live life, till the end
And if I could arrange how others in Paul’s Run would remember me and my stay
At this facility, I would be honored if given the accolades earned by Edna, this day

Portrait- Helen Marimow # 7

When first I met Helen Marimow she had been a resident far longer than I
And I remembered her friendly visage, most especially, the twinkle in her eye
The more I got to know her, the more I sensed comfort with her life, in this term
Her manner and her quizzical smile radiated comfort and yet, also a will to learn
Many times, exhibiting wisdom, as she participated fully within our community
In her calm manner when stress arose, Helen was able, always, to foster, unity

The years passed Helen’s gait slowed yet her calm, quiet aura, was still there
And conversing with her was stimulating as she made it so easy for us to share
Our talks are always ruled by affection and the application of mutual respect
They were shared thoughts, not didactics, requiring either to accept or to reject
Allowing us to apply the wisdom of our experience in life and then to compare
Not only the conclusions, but even the very processes we used, to get us there
These talks were enlightening aiding and abetted us in our community roles
As we, armed with tools gained by our talks, would apply, to reach our goals

There are myriads of reasons I can find for my loving to live at Paul’s Run
I can cite concerned staff, the amenity in the facility, or even just plain fun
But mostly, it is the fraternity of community which leads me to feel that way
The presence of Helen Marimow, brings this out in every way, on every day

Presidential class, which covered all other elected Presidents, Since I have, unlike the “so called

Presidential”:
1-George Washington – General of the Continental Army, First President of U.S.

On Inauguration (April 30, 1789), humbly accepted the position, reluctantly leaving his
retirement, worried about being adequate for the task at hand committing himself to the
Constitution and recommending those actions consistent with the Declaration of Independence,
called for the assistance of God, and accepting no remuneration for serving.
2-Thomas Jefferson- Author, Declaration of Independence-3rd President of U.S.

On inauguration (March 4, 1801) After a hard-divisive election, Jefferson deprecating his
ability to do the job promised to seek broad input in his administration, praising the heroes of
the revolution and working to improve civil rights and respecting Constitutional constraints, and
invoked God’s help.
3-James Madison-4th President of the U.S.

On Inauguration (March 4, 1809) as one of the founding fathers he paid tribute to the
Constitution as the cement of the nation and leading to peace and prosperity in a growing
nation, a society respectful of the rights of others and promise of a continuation, despite
difficulties, of neutral relation with other nations, with a strong militia and God’s help.

4-James Monroe-5th President of the U.S.
On inauguration (March 4, 1817) The first President with a public service record he viewed

the nation as in a happy time with a happy people secure in the Constitution, confident in
maintaining rights and the continuation of prosperity which might be imperiled by European
incursions requiring a strong military along with the will of a benevolent God.
5-Woodrow Wilson-28th President of the U.S.

On Inauguration (March 4, !913) Wilson praised our moral commitment to the
Constitution but advocated we had a moral commitment to preserve our natural resources
which were being wasted, to better provide for sharing of wealth, to support workers’ rights and
safety to broaden benefits such as healthcare and property rights as god given rights within our
system.
6-Franklin D. Roosevelt-32nd President of the U.S.

On Inauguration (March 4 1933) In a deep depression he declared war on fear, decried the
greed of the money lenders, lauded labor as the joy of achievement, not just profit and called
for action to redistribute the labor force, to harness our natural resources to provide maximum
output for the general good., as well as making sure that this disaster does not reappear. He
reaffirmed our faith in the Constitution and advised the congress that he would present them
with a plan for action to move beyond this problem with our people and with God’s help,

those Presidents to include as being in critical times of our nation’s history, the first four being

Wither America?

Here I sit at ninety-one of age having lived with hope up until my dotage
A hope instilled into my soul through the love of my father at an early age
A hope fostered by the dreams of one who had no experience in equality
Having now been adopted into a new land so dedicated to it in its totality
In the midst of a depression which constrains dreams, our hopes persisted
Remaining endemic as a President rallied a nation and this fate was resisted
With energy and commitment opportunities occurred and hope reappeared
And feelings of comradery and brotherhood the trappings of equality, neared

Despite angst war and pestilence this nation persisted in pursuing of this goal
Recognizing mankind’s imperfections prevented its adoption, as a whole
But supported by the Constitution the nation evolved a modality of equality
Slowly from Judicial, Legislative, and Executive actions equality came to be
The conscience of the nation identified those issues in need of remediation’s
While the democratic branches of our government remedied those situations
Election of a Black President, in 2008 seemed to signal what was a new day
With a new high hope in the fight for equality alas, it was not to be that way

By Jack Birnbaum

In 2016 a black cloud preaching division and derision appeared on the scene
Substituting fear for dreams, with innuendo and rumor, reputations to demean
Scapegoating groups, as immigrants, or diplomats as “being politically Correct”
Holding some Constitutional rights as inviolate while holding others as suspect
Including both those of the free press and challenging the role of the Judiciary
Using congressional investigations not as informative but, as political trajectory

This following our first Black president represents a different era of leadership
Sworn to serve and protect the Constitution with another style of statesmanship
Mixing confrontation, ego and his world view President Trump picked up his pen
Promised to clean up the swamp, to build a wall, and to make America great again
His divisive style activated a white racist backlash that he chose not to condemn
And it does seem to violate the inaugural oath to serve and protect us, from them
His confused management style raises concerns about capabilities, Presidential
And is in conflict with pre-election hype of inexperience, balanced by potential
His use of tweets to attack media and the Judiciary are counter Constitutional
His facts often cannot be verified and at times his references seem delusional
All of which point out issues that go far beyond being seen as being Presidential
But go to the point of his competence to serve as the chief executive of the nation
And further do some of his self serving actions point to impeachment consideration
In all, this situation should be faced and be subjected to the peoples’ determination

a poem – Pith- a dream

I woke this morning enthralled at having experienced a wonderful dream
Our reigning President with a non-fatal disease, no longer able to scheme
Suffering from Pith, a rare mental disease usually contracted only by sages
Who were over time exposed to wisdom and empathy throughout the ages
Forcing them to act rationally otherwise they’d begin compulsively to sneeze
And with continued irrationality they would also suffer a persistent wheeze

Speaking and tweeting, this Presidents way, he was now medically impaired
When he did venture forth, and there were many irrational thoughts, prepared
Raising doubt as to his being competent to continue serving as the President
This coupled with compulsive self-promotion and some concepts like the wall
So afflicted him needing sedation. that he was unable to act as President, at all

In the dream. leadership was embolded to act by moving forward our nation
Applying democratic principles and the revival of the tradition of negotiation
Issues were addressed and resolved in a consensual unity, the American way
A revival of the Constitutional commitments signaling the dawn of a new day

So, now I awoke from the dream remembering, and seeking ways to get where
Closure can take place and we can all overcome and to end what is, a nightmare

A Poem- Charlie’s Haircut, A Problem Solved

As you know Charlie was adopted in August, but as I wrote about him in advance, I will publish
his columns as I think you enjoy them. J.B.

I woke one morning and realizing Charlie’s hair had grown out into deep disarray
It was long, tangled and matted, requiring a drastic action to begin, this very day
So, brush comb and scissors in hand, I began to restore his coat to becoming right
And after some hours I, assaying results, realized his coat was not a pretty sight
Not to worry, I then arranged for his grooming with one who had done so before
But upon entry she assessed him and declared, this task was, not one, for this store
The groomer opined the task required anesthetic from a vet, for his coat to tame
But I being told of Pets mart was equipped and ready, to take part in such a game
I then trundled him off to Pets mart and there was assured the job, could be done
In fact, I was told by pointing to other dogs, he probably would have some fun
Alas when I retrieved Charlie he, was only partially shorn, and he then objected
Although his body was done his head was not, and the job was not perfected
He now in fact resembled a Lion, with his head encased within in a hairy mane
Now I was faced with the prospect of having Charlie to undergo a cut. once again
Undaunted I approached my vet who although, not a groomer, said she would try
To complete the task, I brought Charlie and he was injected and anesthetized
And while asleep the task was completed by the time he got to open his eyes
So, Charlies’ metamorphosis has gone from frowsy as a lion and with finality
Becoming a thin lamb befitting his character as he always was, meant to be
