AL April Newsletter
September 2015 As we approach our second anniversary as a community, I am filled with gratitude for our residents, their families, and our team members. Together we have become the community of choice in the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area. It is fitting that National Assisted Living week is honored in the month of September. The quality of life the model brings to retirement enhances all aspects of one’s well-being. Vivante has the added benefit of fantastic amenities and cuisine, beautiful & spacious apartments, and a robust activities program offering a vast array of social, recreational and educational opportunities. Thank you to all of our wonderful residents for recommending Vivante to your friends. Your satisfaction is our greatest accomplishment, and you continue to be our best source of referrals. Always the first Monday in September, Labor Day, also appropriately called the “workingman’s holiday”, is dedicated to everyone in respect and appreciation for the work done in or outside of the home. True to tradition, we will celebrate with an end of summer barbeque and live music. In commemoration of 9/11, and in honor of first responders, we have invited the Costa Mesa Fire Department to enjoy a barbeque lunch at Vivante. Please join us at both events as we acknowledge and honor the dedication and service of so many. Mark your calendars for Sunday Brunch on September 13th from 11:30 a.m to 1:30 p.m., and The Rosh Hashanah Dinner on Monday, September 14th at 5:00 p.m. Reservations can be made at the host station in The Mélange. The events page in this addition of the Vivante Voice highlights many additional events and outings for your enjoyment this month. I wish health and happiness for all as we enter into Fall and embark on our 3rd year as a Vivante family! This lovely lady was born in Connecticut and spent winters in Manhattan and Philidelphia. She went to Lincoln School on the Columbia University campus, Buckingham Friends School in Lahaska, PA and West Philadelphia Friends School in Philadelphia, PA. Her family moved to California in 1942 when her illustrator/painter/cartoonist father joined the Marine Corps. When WWII ended, the family remained in California, where her father became a sketch artist for 20th Century Fox. After graduating from the Bishops School in La Jolla, she went on to get a BA degree from UCLA. She and her late husband Hal were married in 1950 and moved to Lido Isle in 1958. They raised their son Greg and daughter Bridget there. Among other projects, she served on the Orange County Grand Jury, volunteered as a therapist in the Crisis and Suicide Prevention Center in what was then the Orange County Medical Center’s Mental Health Department, worked for ENSIGN, the Santa Ana Register, the Daily Pilot, and published her own magazine called Gentry. She is still active in many volunteer organizations, including the OC Museum of Art and Planned Parenthood.

Please RSVP with the Concierge desk. (949) 629 - 2100 or the Activities office. 1640 Monrovia Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627 • 949.629.2100 • www.vivanteliving.com • Lic # 306004582 This month we feature Jerry Turner who is a pioneer in the sports shoe business and has a wealth of fun stories about his interaction with famous athletes. Jerry was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1935. He attended Omaha Central High School - which was considered the best school in the state. He got his undergraduate degree at Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. After graduation, Jerry joined the army for two years and was fortunate enough to do duty as a Quarter Master in times of peace. From there, he went on to earn his Masters degree at UC Berkley. At Wharton, Jerry met his wife who was the daughter of Michael Goldenberg, the founder of Brooks Shoes. After graduation at Berkley, Jerry immediately moved to Baltimore to work for his father-in-law at Brooks. He recalls that he first thing he discovered about Brooks was that the company was nearly broke. At the time, Brooks only products were shoes built with sporting hardware such as cleats or skate blades. Realizing the company needed a wider market, Jerry was eyeing the running market as there were no specialized shoes for this type of athletics. He was introduced to famed runner, Marty Liquori who also had ideas for creating running products. As a runner, Marty had good ideas for shoes, but no idea how to proceed. He and Jerry Jerry Turner teamed up to create a new genre of shoe. At the time, sporting shoe soles were made from ‘blown rubber,’ a heavy product with no ability to absorb the impact of running. Marty explained to Jerry that he needed a shoe that would absorb the impact and give him some ‘recoil’ to help with long distance running. Jerry called a chemist at the Monarch Rubber Company to explain their ideas. As it happened, the chemist was already experimenting with something similar. He created some sheets of material made from Ethylene Vinyl Acetate or EVA. Jerry took the sheets, made shoes and provided them to Marty - who wore the shoes and liked them so much that he brought in other famous runners to sponsor the Brooks shoe. Today, EVA is used in a myriad of sporting products such as shoes, bicycle seats, ski boots, boxing gloves and fishing reels. Brooks became the #1 running shoe company in the world. Jerry determined that celebrity endorsements were a great way to build brand awareness and sell shoes. This took Jerry to the ballparks where he worked to gain shoe sponsors by working the clubhouses. He can tell stories of his adventures in those clubhouses for hours. He favorite was when he was granted a chance to talk to Ted Williams. Ted was sitting at his desk and rose to greet Jerry - wearing only his jock strap. All six-foot three and three hundred pounds. Another was how he was rejected several times by Rod Carew - until Jerry’s three year old son Johnny was found flipping through a Playboy magazine with Carew. “This is your son?” Carew said. “I’ll try your shoes.” He wore Brooks for the rest of his career. as did another famous ballplayer, Mickey Mantle. With perseverance and hard work, Jerry managed to win over an entire ball club - the Pittsburg Pirates, who wore he shoes when they won the World Series. He wrote down the sizes of every ball player on the team and built shoes for each player. As a shoe manufacturer, he was able to make the shoes with the right team colors and do it quickly. Through this type effort, Brooks became the leading baseball shoe company as well. Unfortunately, Jerry’s success attracted the attention of somebody else, Phil Knight at Blue Ribbon Sports - the founder of Nike. Phil came to Jerry, asking for Brooks to build him some shoes. Jerry shares that Phil soon asked him where he built his spikes for cleated shoes. Knowing Phil would figure it out eventually, he told him. Within weeks, Jerry got the call from his manufacturer that Phil was in his waiting room... When Brooks first built their running shoes, the athletic shoe market was 3% of all footwear sales. Today that market is nearly 80% of the market. Between the severe financial demands of growth and years of copyright battles with Nike, Brooks Shoes ultimately went bankrupt. Jerry went on to join a Chinese trading company who hired him to develop several successful new brands of shoes. He met his second wife there and stands as a prime example of perserverance and determination. Jerry has three children. Susie Turner who is a top pro-bono attorney in Washington, DC., Bobby Turner, a finanical advisor in Santa Monica who partners with Andre Agassi to build the nation’s top charter schools and Johnny Turner who’s a market research professional in Charleston, SC. Glad to have you in the community Jerry! Lets talk telephone! Several residents have received solicitations from AT&T with offers to “save” them money if they switch to AT&T’s Uverse phone service. The pitch is that they can reduce your monthly costs and provide a year of free Internet by converting to their ‘digital’ service. First off, please understand that we discourage the use of this service here because it requires a modification to the wiring in your apartment. Not only that, you already have free Internet from Vivante that is at least 20 times faster! Next, that low price they promise is just a first year offer. The second year includes a $45 a month bump for the Internet you’ll never use. If AT&T calls with a great offer to reduce your phone costs, just say NO! That savings will cost you a lot in the long run. If you feel your phone is costing too much money, please contact Mark Thompson for a review of your phone service and a list of alternatives that might be available. We are also hearing more reports about scam artists who are calling to claim that your ‘transaction’ is missing important information about your bank account. The scammer tries to convince you that money is being sent to you and they need your banking information to complete the transfer. Please NEVER give away banking information to anyone who suprises you with a call like this. Before doing anything, double check with everyone with whom you do business with and with family members. Remember, when somebody on the phone or online offers help, it usually means they’re trying to help themselves to your money. Ask questions and get help from people you trust before doing anything!! Vivante’s residents hold a meeting once a month to discuss community issues in the absence of staff. You are invited to ask questions, make suggestions, speak freely with Council Members and our Ombudsman. Staff is invited to join at the Council’s request and may share updates within the Community, answer questions and more. The meeting is located in the CRO’s Nest. You are encouraged to attend the next meeting on Wednesday, September 16th at 2:00 p.m. Our current council members are: Don Borthwick, Georgiana McLeod, Bob Woodward, Catherine Broker, Peggy Gordon, and Gay Purcilly. If you have are interested in being a part of the Council, please see Activities or call at 949 - 629 - 2100, extension #4713.

Lizette Flores, Health Services Coordinator Our employee of the month is Liz Flores. She is the oldest of three children. Liz’s mom and dad immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico in the early 70’s. Her mother is a special education assistant and dad is a granite restoration expert. He recently worked on The Tiffany Company’s store on Rodeo drive and surprised Liz with a gift – the piece of granite with Tiffany’s name engraved on it! Liz was born in 1984 in Santa Ana where she’s lived for most of her life. She was an avid softball player growing up and went on to play varsity softball all four years at Saddleback High School. After high school, Liz took a job in the banking business and worked as a loan processor for nearly five years before choosing to move on to something she enjoyed. She earned her LVN degree at the Pacific College of Costa Mesa and took a job as a private duty care nurse. Liz currently lives in Anaheim Hills with her boyfriend Daniel and their two year old son, Sebastian. The two met when she was only eighteen. They have known each other for thirteen years and have been together as a couple for the past eight. Asked what happened after five years of friendship, she tells us that Daniel was a good friend with whom she confided in regularly. They went out one night, talked for several hours and ultimately discovered their love for one another. She and Daniel are working hard at saving money for a new home. They’ve tried a couple times to make a purchase, but tell us it is a struggle because the affordable homes are selling in a matter of days. Together, she and her family enjoy their opportunity to have play dates where they visit Disneyland, museums, kid parks and other hiking and sightseeing locations. Liz came to Vivante after discovering our help wanted ad on Craigslist. She first took work covering weekends part-time in the shores. As our needs grew, she took extra shifts and grew into the job. Recently she was promoted to Shores Health Services Coordinator and now works full time. Liz, you do a great job and we truly appreciate your hard work. You certainly deserve to be our Employee of the Month. New Yoga Class - Please join us in welcoming Kathleen Poulos to Vivante.
