We are so thankful for the following generous donors - our heroes - who have made a commitment toward the
2015 GOOD SAMARITAN appeal that helps residents who can no longer afford the full cost of care.
Your gifts help approximately 60% of the men and women who call St. Paul’s “home” have a sense of
security and peace of mind. Thank you! Through the collective gifts of many donors more than $20,135
was raised toward this effort! It is hard to quantify what your gifts mean to our residents and the staff. As
you may know, “benevolent” care isn’t something that one can necessarily touch or see. But it is
something that, upon walking into any building on our campus, one can feel. YOUR gifts help make that
possible by instilling quiet, confident support and helping to make possible a home-like atmosphere that not
only resembles a home, but is a home. Your gifts to Good Samaritan indirectly support this vibrant life that we
hope to give our beloved residents each and every day. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Cornerstone
Cravings
By Beckie Erwin, St. Paul’s Marketing Specialist
I think I’ve written about everything possible at The Cornerstone. By now, it’s pretty easy to tell, either by my waistline or my
column here how much I love the food at our new restaurant at St.
Paul’s.
So, when it came time to write this month, I was hard pressed
to think about what I was craving that I haven’t craved before. I did
have an amazing sandwich recently that most people would find
unusual – a crab salad grilled cheese. Just think of it as a crab salad
melt and if you didn’t get one for yourself, you’ll have to take my
word for how truly delicious it is. Our entire table of four people
ordered it and everyone loved it. The only way I could think of
improving it would be to add bacon - but I think bacon makes everything better, even ice cream and brussels sprouts. (Remember
my rule...don’t knock it ’til you try it...)
The same afternoon that I was contemplating about what to
write this month, one of our Colony residents here told me what
she liked at The Cornerstone and voila! I knew what I had to do. I
started asking around The Cornerstone for what others craved off
the menu. Here are some of their favorites:
3
“I love the food here but I think if they only served the cream
puff, I could be deliriously happy.” This woman and her sister said
they often have lunch at The Cornerstone and enjoy the salmon
salad but really look most forward to the signature cream puff dessert they promise themselves afterward.
“I am in love with this Reuby!” One gentleman was enjoying
the turkey meat version of the traditional corned beef Reuben and
said he always orders the full-size sandwich so he can take half of it
home to enjoy later. But that’s not all he wanted to say. “I had a really good steak here a while back, too. I really just like coming here.”
The peppery Black and Bleu Chicken is a favorite for another
regular customer. “It packs just enough heat for me,” she said. “I
love it.” The teenage boy at her table was enjoying the fried asparagus appetizer. He said he doesn’t know anywhere that serves asparagus like that and, “Trust me, it’s the only way I’ll eat asparagus.”
For another customer, a favorite is the crab cake or any of the
fish offerings. “You can overcook fish, and people often do, but The
Cornerstone cooks it just perfectly,” she said. “It’s very, very good.”
Following my rounds at The Cornerstone, a comment came
into the office by email. This customer loved his meal, too, and
called The Cornerstone “Greenville’s best-kept secret.”
I only heard one complaint, if you can call it that. One diner
said her meal came out too quickly - she didn’t have time to finish
her salad.
So, with that – until next month…it’s all good!

A banner story
When Colony resident Joan Brown
made 14 beautiful banners for Emanuel
Lutheran Church in Bellevue, PA, her
home church before moving to St. Paul’s,
she never imagined her beloved church
would ever close its doors.
“That’s something you never want to
see,” she said. “It’s a very sad thing.”
But something good has come from
that sad event - the banners she made
long ago were returned to her and she
donated them to St. Paul’s where she now
lives, a gift St. Paul’s Pastor Julia Fraser
said is very welcome and will bring great
joy to many people.
“First, they are beautiful and second,
it’s always nice to be able to incorporate
the happy part of someone’s past with
their life here at St. Paul’s. We’re really
pleased to accept these banners for use in
our many multi-purpose areas that need
to be ‘dressed’ for our worship.”
The banner collection includes two for
each season and two additional banners
made in honor of the Rev. Dr. G. Lawrence Himmelman, Joan’s pastor for 19

the 14 banners Joan
Brown has donated to
St. Paul’s. Below, she

banner she made in
memory of her mother, Matilda McKee.
years during her youth. All of the banners
are dedicated to her family or friends.
“These banners are personal to me
and this gift to St. Paul’s is just as personal,” she said. “I’m very happy that they will
find a home here now.”
According to Pastor Julia, the banners
are now hung in
Anderson Fellowship Hall at
The Heritage and
received a blessing during worship on Aug. 23.

A Message from Pastor Bill
Relying on the GPS
Did you enjoy any vacation time traveling by car this year? Growing up, vacations meant that my mother,
who worked near the AAA office, would make a visit to request a Trip-tik and maps. The Trip-tik offered pages
of highlighted roads that directed us from our home to our destinations. That and the “tour book” also had information on attractions to visit, places to stay and dine, and they were rated as “best,” “okay” or not too good.
You also got the large maps with the route on it. The biggest challenge with them was getting them folded
back to the way they had been before you opened them. Those Trip-tiks may still be available, but today there
is a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) system that guides you along your route until you reach your destination. There are stand-alone units, some cars have them built in the dash, and there are also “apps” (applications) for phones and computer tablets.
These GPS units offer options like the shortest route, quickest way to get there, or the keep-me-off-of-tollroads option. And if you stray from the route that the GPS offers for you to follow, the voice announces, “recalculating!!”
Actually, this way of guidance is not entirely a new idea. Our spiritual GPS uses God’s Word as the positioning system. Psalm 37:23 tells us that the steps of a good person is ordered by the Lord. King David also wrote
in Psalm 139:16 that all of our days were ordained for us by the Lord even before we were born.
King Solomon, David’s son, wrote in Proverbs that while we may plan our course in our heart, it is the Lord
who orders our steps (Psalm 16: 9) and that as we acknowledge God, He directs our paths (Prov. 3:6). The
prophet Jeremiah also reminds us that our lives are not our own, and it is the Lord, not us who is to direct our
lives (Jer. 10:23).
In order to function properly, a GPS needs to communicate with satellites. It also needs a power source for
it to operate. It is God’s Word, as it is revealed to us through the Bible, that offers that direction to keep us on
track. It is the Holy Spirit who offers us the power source daily. And it is our conscience, prompted by the Word
and the Spirit, that provides the recalculation when we get off of our course and direction.
As we enter the autumn season, may it be a time for you to regularly glean from the Word of God, illuminated by God’s Spirit, to daily keep you on your course.

Reserving social areas at
St. Paul’s:
Please follow this process
Breathing techniques to reduce aniety
Following is the process for reserving the Private Dining
Room, Headland Friendship Commons Room, The Villas
Conference Room, and the O.D. Anderson Picnic Pavilion
– effective April 28, 2015:
Anxiety is no stranger when you are caring for someone who is seriously ill. Or, for that matter, when you
ARE the person who is ill. Medical emergencies, financial
worries, everyday care issues all cause stress.
• There is no charge for residents/family members to
reserve and use The Villas areas & picnic pavilion at
St. Paul’s. Reservations are on a first-come/first-served
basis.
And emotional distress sets off a physical reaction.
When we feel scared or angry, our heart rate and blood
pressure increase, and our breathing speeds up. When
the stress is chronic, our “fight-or-flight” response may
be engaged for days, weeks, or months. That’s hard on the
body. And it’s a particular concern for families dealing
with breathing problems. Shortness of breath can generate anxiety, which causes one to feel short of breath, creating more anxiety...It’s a nasty downward spiral.
• There is no charge for staff members to reserve and
use The Villas areas. There is a $50 security deposit
for the use of the picnic pavilion. This deposit will be
returned as long as the area is left in good condition.
• Other individuals (community members) – there is a
$50 security deposit for use of The Villas areas/picnic
pavilion at St. Paul’s that will be returned as long as the
areas used are left in good condition. A minimum $50
donation to St. Paul’s is also requested. The security
deposit does not take the place of the donation.
You and your relative can take the edge off by learning to relax. Relaxation stops the stress reaction and even
makes breathing easier. It also clears the mind, enabling
less anxious thinking about any issue at hand.
Following are three basic relaxation techniques that
take about 10 minutes each.
NOTE: any reservation that was received prior to 4/28/15
will not be affected by this change. As you know, some
people have reserved areas months in advance of their
parties. This new policy is in effect for any reservations we
receive starting April 28, 2015.
• Deep breathing. Sit comfortably, feet on the floor.
Put one hand on your chest, the other just under your ribs. Breathe slowly through your nose,
counting to five. Only the hand at your belly
should rise. Exhale slowly, counting to five. Repeat.
If anyone has any questions or would like to reserve a
space on our campus, please contact Robyn Weaver at
724-588-7610, ext. 1173.
• Muscle relaxation. Lie down or sit comfortably.
Starting with your toes, tense and relax your
muscles, moving up your body to calves, thighs,
etc. Count to five while tensing and to 30 while
relaxing. Notice the difference between tense and
relaxed.

Facebook page. “Invite” your friends and family to like

• Visualization. In a quiet place, lie down or sit comfortably. Imagine yourself at your favorite place of
tranquility (beach, mountains, etc.). Bring in as
many elements of the place as you can: what you
would be seeing, smelling, hearing, touching.
Share these techniques with your loved one. It takes
dedication and practice, but everyone benefits from better stress management.

Resident Refrigerator Use
at The Villas
Do you have something you no longer want and wish to
give it away? Send your information to
berwin@lifeatstpauls.org before the 12th of each month.
While St. Paul’s does not encourage the use of personal
refrigerators in resident rooms at The Villas, in keeping with
our philosophy of person-centered care, should a resident desire to have a personal refrigerator, St. Paul’s will make every
effort to accommodate the request should the resident and
family agree to abide by the facility’s policy. It is important
that you notify the Admissions/Social Services department
BEFORE you bring in a personal refrigerator. These personally owned refrigerators are subject to the same guidelines
under Pennsylvania Department of Health, as those that belong to St. Paul’s. As such, these refrigerators are inspected
by Department of Health during their annual survey and St.
Paul’s is required to have a policy that delineates responsibility for ensuring that their standards are maintained.
The policy states the resident and/or family must provide
and keep a thermometer inside their refrigerator so you can
assure that the temperature is maintained below 41 degrees
F. Furthermore, the resident and/or family are responsible
for ensuring the refrigerator is kept clean and that perishable
foods are discarded by expiration dates. St. Paul’s reserves
the right to conduct periodic inspections of the refrigerators to ensure compliance with these guidelines. Failure to
comply may result in the removal of the refrigerator from
the resident’s room. Should you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to contact Tammy Lininger, Villas Administrator, at 724-588-7610. Coming in October!

September Movies - Channel 126-851
PLEASE NOTE: All residents should tune to Channel 126-851 (may be displayed as 126.851) for movies, church services
and any other broadcasts. This channel has been reserved by Time Warner for use internally by campuses like St. Paul’s, and
will not be used for TWC programming going forward, which will alleviate any potential signal interference. The reason for
this abrupt change from Channel 6 has to do with Time Warner's plans to convert all signals to digital.
