The Vantage at Cityview INDEPENDENT LIVING NOVEMBER 2016 • BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS Global Thanksgiving Traditions With its historical nod to the 1621 feast between the Pilgrim settlers and American Indians, as well as a focus on food, football and shopping, it may seem that Thanksgiving is a holiday unique to the United States. But several other countries around the world partake in similar festivities. Korea: This Asian nation celebrates Chuseok on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, sometime in September or October. Koreans use this time to honor and give thanks to their ancestors. The main dish is “songpyeon,” halfmoon-shaped rice cakes with various fillings. Germany: Areas of Austria and Switzerland join Germany in celebrating Erntedankfest, usually in early October. The centerpiece of the holiday is the “Erntekrone,” or “harvest crown,” made of grains, flowers and fruit. Parades, music, dancing and church services round out the festivities. Ghana: The Homowo festival takes place each August in the Accra region of this African country. The joyous occasion commemorates the Ga people’s historical victory over famine, when they “hooted at hunger” (the translation of the word “homowo”). Canada: The first Canadian Thanksgiving, or “l’Action de grace” in French-speaking regions, was observed in 1578. It is celebrated on the second Monday in October and features a meal familiar to Americans: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pie. The Memorable Adventures of a Moose and Squirrel Hokey smoke! This month marks the anniversary of one of television’s most beloved animated duos, Rocky and Bullwinkle. Created by Jay Ward and Alex Anderson, Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose made their debut on “Rocky and His Friends,” which premiered Nov. 19, 1959. Best friends and residents of Frostbite Falls, Minn., the unlikely pair consistently found themselves in the midst of various adventures, armed only with Rocky’s flying skills and Bullwinkle’s “mighty moose muscle.” Most of the time, their troubles were caused by villains Boris and Natasha, spies from the fictional nation of Pottsylvania. Each serial episode also included other recurring cartoon segments, such as “Peabody’s Improbable History,” “Fractured Fairy Tales” and “Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties.” Marked by a clever and lovable brand of humor that appealed to both kids and adults, the show was also known for its satires on historical and current events, parodies, and instances of breaking the fourth wall, in which characters spoke directly to the audience and the show’s narrator. The cartoon switched networks and was renamed “The Bullwinkle Show” before ending in 1964, then became known as “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show” in reruns, where it gained new generations of fans.

Dating back to ancient civilizations, the first pies were filled with meat, fish and other savory foods. Crusts, made from various grains, were created to hold the filling, but not eaten. The Greeks were the first to combine flour and water to make a pastry shell. Historians say pie made its way to England in the 12th century, where it was called pye. Beef, lamb and duck often made up the filling, held together by a thick, inedible crust. At royal banquets, “surprise pies” were used to provide entertainment: Live frogs, rabbits, birds and even people were encased in baked pastry and emerged when the crust was cut open. English settlers brought their meat pies to Colonial America. Colonists later used local berries and other fruits to make sweet pies. As pioneers moved to the West, new pie recipes were created using regional foods. Then the 20th-century innovations of shortening, canned fillings and ready-made crusts made pie-making easier. Contrary to popular belief, there was no pumpkin pie at the first Thanksgiving in 1621. The Plymouth Colony had no butter or wheat flour for making a crust, and ovens had not yet been built. Pumpkin pie didn’t become a staple of Thanksgiving dinners until the 1800s.

supplies needed for residents to create Doodle Bots. Residents really enjoyed watching their creation move once the motor was connected to the battery! Diabetes Awareness Month History of Thanksgiving In September 1620, a small ship called the Mayflower left Plymouth, England, carrying 102 passengers — an assortment of religious separatists seeking a new home where they could freely practice their faith and other individuals lured by the promise of prosperity and land ownership in the New World. After a treacherous and uncomfortable crossing that lasted 66 days, they dropped anchor near the tip of Cape Cod, far north of their intended destination at the mouth of the Hudson River. One month later, the Mayflower crossed Massachusetts Bay, where the Pilgrims, as they are now commonly known, began the work of establishing a village at Plymouth. In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest proved successful, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling colony’s Native American allies, including the Wampanoag Chief Massasoit. Now remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”— although the Pilgrims themselves may not have used the term at the time — the festival lasted for three days. While no record exists of the historic banquet’s exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a “fowling” mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing five deer. Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts, which have become a hallmark of contemporary celebrations. If you have wondered or possibly been told that you are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes or that you have prediabetes, you should know that diabetes prevention is proven, possible, and powerful. Studies show that people at high risk for diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of the disease by losing 5 to 7 percent of their weight, if they are overweight — that’s 10 to 14 pounds for a 200-pound person.” Two keys to success: • Get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity five days a week. • Eat a variety of foods that are low in fat and reduce the number of calories you eat per day. In other words, you don’t have to knock yourself out to prevent diabetes. The key is small steps that lead to big rewards. ASSISTED LIVING 6301 Overton Ridge Blvd. Fort Worth, TX 76132 (817) 292-5600 Staff Sales Manager Molley Michel Sales Advisors Epilepsy Awareness Month A seizure is a short change in normal brain activity that can cause changes in awareness, behavior, or body movement. Because anyone can have a seizure, it’s important to recognize seizure symptoms and to know how to help. The signs of seizures depend on the part of the brain affected. Some seizures are mild and can go unnoticed. Others can cause the person to fall to the ground, or be unable to move or speak. Did you know there are over 30 types of seizures? There are two groups of seizures: Generalized and partial. Partial seizures are the most common type of seizure experienced by people with epilepsy, however epilepsy is not the only cause of a seizure. Seizures can happen from other problems, including brain injury, high fever, or alcohol or drug withdrawal. Craig Latta Generalized seizures affect both sides of the brain. These words are often used when describing generalized seizures: Teresa Wilks • Tonic: Muscles in the body become stiff • Atonic: Muscles in the body relax • Myoclonic: Muscles in the body jerk or twitch, usually on both sides of the body • Clonic: Periods of jerking spasms in muscles of the body, sometimes on both sides of the body Executive Chef Michael Doursseau Restaurant Manager Thomas Nellum Health and Wellness Director Jacquelyn Scrivener Program Supervisor Katie Benton Assistant Program Supervisor Kristy Daniells PrimeFit Instructor Clayton Hayworth Receptionists Sarah Smith, Kristen Ringo, Mary Miller, Sheila Thomas, Franchesca Garza Tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures) are the most well-known type of seizure and can make a person: • Cry out • Have muscle jerks or spasms • Lose consciousness • Feel tired afterward • Fall to the ground Absence seizures (petit mal seizures) can cause rapid eye blinking or a few seconds of staring into space. Partial seizures are located in just one area of the brain. These seizures are also called focal seizures. There are at least three different types of partial seizures. Simple Partial — Affects a small part of the brain. These seizures can cause jerking or a change in sensation, such as a strange taste or smell, or a “funny feeling” in the stomach. Complex Partial — Can make a person with epilepsy confused or dazed. The person will be unable to respond to questions or direction for up to a few minutes. A person with this type of seizure may move around without purpose or direction. Partial seizures that generalize begin in one part of the brain but then spread to both sides of the brain. In other words, the person first has a partial seizure, followed by a generalized seizure. Sleep Comfort Month Drivers Here are tips on how to get a good night’s sleep: Noris Neighbors, Melissa ColinAlvarado, Alfredo Chapellin 1. Make certain you find a temperature that is comfortable to you for sleeping. Also, keep light and noise to a minimum — you’ll sleep better in a dark, quiet room. If absolute quiet doesn’t work for you, try to run a sound machine or a fan for white noise. Housekeeping Supervisor Susy Cardoza Housekeepers Aguida Varela, Daria Serrano, Lizeth Aguilar-Ramirez, Deyanira Constancia, Cirila Lopez 2. There are many mattresses that are specifically designed to address the degrees of firmness that helps you sleep best. The same is true for pillows — shop around until you find a size and firmness of pillow that allows you to fall — and stay — asleep. James Bass 3. Take a couple of days during November and try to let your body clock reset itself. Try this. Go to bed at a reasonable hour but don’t set your alarm clock. Allow yourself to wake up naturally. You will need to do this for a couple of days in a row to let you see how much sleep you require. Once you’ve figured that out you can make the changes necessary to your sleep patterns so that you attain your sleep goals. Plant Operations Assistants 4. Daily activity, whether it’s walking, running or bike riding, not only will make you healthier but it will lead to a better night’s sleep. Plant Operations Supervisor Jack West, Dylan Owens, Alan Hall, Bryan Does 5. 5.Implement a pre-bedtime ritual. Whether you want to curl up with a book, soak in the tub, enjoy a cup of tea or listen to soothing music, find a routine that works for you and lets your body know that this is the time of day to start winding down.

In other words, you don’t have to knock yourself out to prevent diabetes. The key is small steps that lead to big rewards. Epilepsy Awareness Month MEMORY CARE 6301 Overton Ridge Blvd. Fort Worth, TX 76132 (817) 292-5600 Staff Sales Manager Molley Michel Sales Advisors A seizure is a short change in normal brain activity that can cause changes in awareness, behavior, or body movement. Because anyone can have a seizure, it’s important to recognize seizure symptoms and to know how to help. The signs of seizures depend on the part of the brain affected. Some seizures are mild and can go unnoticed. Others can cause the person to fall to the ground, or be unable to move or speak. Did you know there are over 30 types of seizures? There are two groups of seizures: Generalized and partial. Partial seizures are the most common type of seizure experienced by people with epilepsy, however epilepsy is not the only cause of a seizure. Seizures can happen from other problems, including brain injury, high fever, or alcohol or drug withdrawal. Craig Latta Generalized seizures affect both sides of the brain. These words are often used when describing generalized seizures: Teresa Wilks • Tonic: Muscles in the body become stiff • Atonic: Muscles in the body relax • Myoclonic: Muscles in the body jerk or twitch, usually on both sides of the body • Clonic: Periods of jerking spasms in muscles of the body, sometimes on both sides of the body Executive Chef Michael Doursseau Restaurant Manager Thomas Nellum Health and Wellness Director Jacquelyn Scrivener Program Supervisor Katie Benton Assistant Program Supervisor Kristy Daniells PrimeFit Instructor Clayton Hayworth Receptionists Sarah Smith, Kristen Ringo, Mary Miller, Sheila Thomas, Franchesca Garza Drivers Noris Neighbors, Melissa ColinAlvarado, Alfredo Chapellin Housekeeping Supervisor Susy Cardoza Housekeepers Aguida Varela, Daria Serrano, Lizeth Aguilar-Ramirez, Deyanira Constancia, Cirila Lopez Plant Operations Supervisor James Bass Plant Operations Assistants Jack West, Dylan Owens, Alan Hall, Bryan Does Tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures) are the most well-known type of seizure and can make a person: • Cry out • Have muscle jerks or spasms • Lose consciousness • Feel tired afterward • Fall to the ground Absence seizures (petit mal seizures) can cause rapid eye blinking or a few seconds of staring into space. Partial seizures are located in just one area of the brain. These seizures are also called focal seizures. There are at least three different types of partial seizures. Simple Partial — Affects a small part of the brain. These seizures can cause jerking or a change in sensation, such as a strange taste or smell, or a “funny feeling” in the stomach. Complex Partial — Can make a person with epilepsy confused or dazed. The person will be unable to respond to questions or direction for up to a few minutes. A person with this type of seizure may move around without purpose or direction. Partial seizures that generalize begin in one part of the brain but then spread to both sides of the brain. In other words, the person first has a partial seizure, followed by a generalized seizure. Sleep Comfort Month Here are tips on how to get a good night’s sleep: 1. Make certain you find a temperature that is comfortable to you for sleeping. Also, keep light and noise to a minimum — you’ll sleep better in a dark, quiet room. If absolute quiet doesn’t work for you, try to run a sound machine or a fan for white noise. 2. There are many mattresses that are specifically designed to address the degrees of firmness that helps you sleep best. The same is true for pillows — shop around until you find a size and firmness of pillow that allows you to fall — and stay — asleep. 3. Take a couple of days during November and try to let your body clock reset itself. Try this. Go to bed at a reasonable hour but don’t set your alarm clock. Allow yourself to wake up naturally. You will need to do this for a couple of days in a row to let you see how much sleep you require. Once you’ve figured that out you can make the changes necessary to your sleep patterns so that you attain your sleep goals. 4. Daily activity, whether it’s walking, running or bike riding, not only will make you healthier but it will lead to a better night’s sleep. 5. Implement a pre-bedtime ritual. Whether you want to curl up with a book, soak in the tub, enjoy a cup of tea or listen to soothing music, find a routine that works for you and lets your body know that this is the time of day to start winding down.
