PRESIDENT’S CORNER
Peering into the New
Year we might perceive a
potentially
monumental
clash between opposing
“narratives” about who we
James Wells are as a people and a world.
One side calls humanity to work toward an
inclusive, cooperative and environmentally
sensitive vision of life based on the
“narrative” established in the awful aftermath
of World Wars I and II. The opposing narrative holds that humanity best works toward a
future where the nation or group must first be
strengthened in its own values, distinct from
others and wary of “globalizing influences.”
Perhaps both perspectives are required. On
one hand when we seek to strengthen our
own group and become inwardly focused
with our own, this “comfort” can become
“complacency.” Likewise, when we embark
on adventures of “change” by incorporating
new thoughts and people, we must beware of
the possibility of “chaos.” I have found that
aging does not significantly influence either
perspective as much as the individual personality living in the context of a thriving community, such as ours.
Why should this concern Canterbury? At
heart we are an extraordinary band of brothers and sisters achieving marvelous things in
our 70s, 80s and 90 pluses! Read the past
year of Canterbury Tales under the leadership
of Editor Roger Scovil who has ably given us
the tools to appreciate and express our narrative. Congratulations Roger for a first-rate
job! The Canterbury story unfolds examples
of deep commitment to each other for the betterment of the Atlanta community, and world.
Our stewardship to this world may be a byproduct of privilege and the related opportunity, but I’d rather believe it is the core of
what we are and what we want to become.
Charity may begin at home but it must never
stop there. As Georgia’s first and perhaps
foremost son, President Jimmy Carter, use to
say after an admiring speech to Habitat for
Humanity workers, “Don’t think you’ve done
enough: you can do more!” We are about doing more at Canterbury! Expect bumps because we will approach our work from different narratives.
The primary message I received from
many in the Canterbury narrative is this: we
need to “strengthen our core.” This has resulted in your Board of Trustees developing
strategic statements that have focused management’s efforts over the past 9 months:
Enhanced, state-of the-art Wellness,
Healthcare, and Memory Care Services,
 Targeted investments in Facilities, Technology and Human Resources in order to
maintain and/or advance market position,
 Incorporation of opportunities, as they
may arise, to expand services to Seniors of
lesser means,
 Development of community-based programs and services consistent with Canterbury Court’s faith based roots.

Observe that the first two items strengthens the “core” while the second two require us to look beyond for a greater
awareness and engagement of the larger
community. Our pastoral services department has a keen eye toward expanding on
opportunities for Canterbury to do just
that, underpinned by the rich traditions of
our Episcopal faith.
Tom Friedman in his recent book “Thank
You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to
Thriving in the Age of Accelerations,” takes a
decidedly positive approach to the outward,
global perspective and argues convincingly
about the danger of “mono-cultures.” Our
tradition at Canterbury probably leans in this
direction as well, but we must at the same
time honor the values and tradition that constitute the strength of well-being, forged on
the humanizing values of the past. I so enjoy
the conversations ahead as we “grow” our
community to be the blessing for others that it
has been to us.
James

RESIDENTS COUNCIL PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Dear Friends,
First, thank you for the privilege of heading the Residents
Council for 2017. But 2016
would not be complete without a
warm and much deserved
THANK YOU to Ruth Anne
Brad
Currey Foote for her service in this office. She has led us well and is a
hard act to follow!
Most of the good things that happened here
at Canterbury Court are the product of committee activities. There are twenty-five committees (can you believe it!), all providing essential services to us and to this beautiful
place where we live. There are places for
each of us to engage and contribute to “how it
is to live here.”
Our most treasured assets here are our gardens. The Garden Committee, headed by
Margaret Langford, deserves great credit for
the beauty of our gardens. Their latest initiative is cleaning out the bog and replanting it
with native plants. That represents a restoration of plantings in 1965 under the direction
of Margaret White Hancock, one of our
founders, and landscape architect Edward
Daugherty.
Financially, the largest accomplishment of
us residents is the Appreciation Fund. It provides gifts to our employees based on tenure
four times a year plus a larger Christmas gift.
Here’s hoping that you saw the notes from
several recipients in the Post Office area about
how important this is to the folks who work
here and who make this such a splendid place
to live. Gifts to the Appreciation Fund over
and above the amounts given to Canterbury
employees flow into the Scholarship Fund for
the coming year. Incidentally, the Appreciation Fund recently received a nice gift from
the family of the late John White, president of
the Residents Council in 2013. Their daughter’s letter expressed deep appreciation for the
loving care experienced by both her parents at
the hands of folks in the Nursing Pavilion on
the 2nd floor.
The Canterbury Scholarship Fund is a
unique effort ably overseen by the Scholarship
Committee headed by Jean Ellen Jones. This
committee is composed of eleven people with
great interest in education and a commitment
to help Canterbury employees improve themselves and their opportunities for a better life.
Most of the costs of everything else the
Residents Council does is funded by the Accumulation Sale and, brand new this year, the
auction managed by Everything But the
House (EBTH). Martha Solano and Martha
Stringer are co-chairs. Martha Solano took
over last year from Mary Earle Scovil. If
these folks were in business, they would be
millionaires; they are that good.
This edition of “Canterbury Tales”, and the
year 2016 would not be complete without a
cheer from us all and a standing ovation for
Roger Scovil. Roger served as editor and
publisher of “Canterbury Tales” for seven
years. He will tell you others did the writing
and thus all the hard work. We all know better. He did have a talented side kick, his better half, MaryEarle. Thank you Roger and
MaryEarle. Their successors are Nancy Fukushima and her side kick, Greg. It takes guts to
take over from the likes of Roger and Mary
Earle. Thank you, Nancy and Greg.

ADMINISTRATION
Happy New Year!! May
2017 be a year of happiness and
good health for all of you. I
tend not to make resolutions,
but I do make goals. Many of
you may remember that about 4
Julie
years ago, I lost quite a bit of
Parker
weight. Well, for whatever reason…. lack of exercise and eating too much,
no doubt, I have gained about 25 pounds back.
I am certainly not happy about this so I have a
goal to work out more and eat more healthily
to lose the weight again. Unfortunately, this is
nothing new for me as I have struggled my entire life to lose and keep off weight.
I hope all of you have a goal to move
more. There are many great classes in the
Wellness Center each day, walking in the garden or even the hallways are great forms of
exercise. Sometimes our fears of trying new
things get in our way or the phrase “I’ll start
tomorrow” trips us up. Eating right and staying properly hydrated are also important as we
ramp up and move more. As we grow older
our brain does not detect that we are thirsty, so
you’ll need to make a conscience effort to
drink more fluids and I would encourage that
fluid to be water whenever possible. Fatigue is
one warning sign of dehydration, so make sure
you have a bottle of water with you during and
after you exercise. It is also good practice to
eat smaller, more frequent meals to keep your
blood sugar stable and metabolism more efficient.
By mid-month you will be hearing more
about enhancements to our Wellness Clinic.
Regine Vincent, RN will join Maxine Dura in
the Wellness Clinic. They will both oversee
the health of residents in Independent Living
as well has providing more health-related information through educational lectures for
both residents and staff. We are also looking
forward to Dr. Bryan Hooker adding more
days to his current schedule to provide more
medical coverage for those of you who have
selected him as your primary care physician.
Other new staff additions will be a fulltime bus driver which will enhance our current
transportation program to include trips to
medical appointments, a security dispatch person who will take calls to expedite any security need that may arise, a concierge who will
be located at the front desk to help residents
and visitors with any issue that they may have
and an IT manager who will be facilitating the
addition of new forms of technology throughout our campus. We will keep you abreast
about these and other new positions once we
are ready to roll them out to you. It is an exciting time that we can now offer new services
that will help you live a more comfortable life.
Lastly, on behalf of all the staff of Canterbury Court, I would like to thank all of you for
your generosity over the year. The staff truly
appreciates your contributions to the Employee Appreciation Fund. The quarterly and
Christmas gift that each person receives from
all of you really makes a difference in their
lives. We do not take this for granted and wish
to extend to all of you our heartfelt gratitude……and again, Happy New Year!!

DINING SERVICES AND HOUSEKEEPING
Happy New Year! Dining Services is very excited to share with
you some of the wonderful things
that we have to look forward to
this upcoming year: We will be
hosting our January Fine Dining
Rebecca
Event on Saturday, January 28th.
LaMontagne
You will receive a memo in your
mailbox with the menu and a save the date
form. Be sure to mark your calendar! The
menu will include: Roasted Chestnut Soup,
Hazelnut Butter Lettuce Salad, Pan Seared
Bronzini or Smoked Kurobuta Pork Tenderloin. To finish off the evening, a Fighting
Irish Bailey’s Mousse. Don’t forget that each
course is paired with a wine that brings out the
flavors of the food. If you’ve never attended
this wonderful culinary experience there is no
time like the present.
What I’m really looking forward to this
year is the expansion of our Dining Service
Health & Wellness platform. We will be hosting monthly conversations along with food
demonstrations in the Community Room. We
will work with the experts on specific topics
that are meaningful to you. This month our
event will be held on Wednesday, January 18 th
beginning at 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm. The topic for
our first event of the year will be on sustainably, this will set the tone for the months ahead.
The food service industry is facing rapid demand for services that have a meaningful
sense of environmental and social responsibility. Study after study consistently reinforces
that fact that the American consumer is embracing “sustainable” values into their daily
lifestyle. We know this to be true in our own
community, just look at how successful our
“Canterbury Recycles” campaign is. The
origin of food, how and where it is produced
is top of mind for many of our residents and
their families.
Dining Services is committed to offering
foods that are earth, body and community
friendly. Listed below are the many ways that
we walk the talk:
Buying local products to support family farms
 Serving seafood that comes from sustainable sources
 Promoting certified humane cage free
eggs
 Purchasing poultry produced without
the routine use of human antibiotics
 Providing fresh yogurt and fluid milk
that is free of artificial growth hormones
 Implementing waste reduction practices to minimize environmental impact
Dining Services is also looking forward
to another great year working with the
Food Committee. I’d like to personally
thank Mrs. Lamar Oglesby for her leadership this past year. We had a great group
of people and tackled some delicate subjects such as dress codes in the dining
rooms. We are looking forward to working
with Mrs. Alice “T” Taylor and this year’s
committee members.
This year our focus will be more strategic. What will Dining Services look like in
the future? How can we engage residents
in the process? As a reminder, comment
cards are located on the check-in counters
in both the Grille & McBurney/Hancock
Dining Rooms. We appreciate your feedback.
Lately we’ve received a lot of positive
comments about the wait staff. I can’t
begin to tell you how much they appreciate
when they are recognized for doing a great
job. Cards can be left with any of the Dining Room Managers or put in my box by
my office. I know it’s not a perfect world,
so please good or bad, keep your comments and suggestions coming. We can’t
fix it if we don’t know about it. Please
don’t wait until you see a committee member to voice your concerns; by then it
might be too late.
Thank you for all that you do to support
the Dining Services Team! Rebecca

WELLNESS
During this past holiday season, events and programs occurred which honored Canterbury residents and celebrated
their achievements in creating
and supporting programs that
Andrew
have enriched our community.
Wiltz
We are grateful for the drive,
heart, and commitment of all residents and
leaders who have dedicated themselves to enhancing our lives.
The Pastoral Care Team of Mandy Brady
and Spenser Simrill led an annual celebration
of remembrance of those we lost over the past
year. It was a special ceremony, and it gave
the community a chance to reflect and share
in prayer and song. The set-up was great for
it featured our own Canterbury Choristers led
by John Carter. This added a meaningful
touch with the residents’ voices singing in remembrance of people close to their hearts. It
was powerful. They closed out the year with
two Christmas concerts in the Pavilion and
Community Room, each to a packed and enthusiastic crowd. We salute Mary Archer
who started this endeavor in August of 2015.
John Carter has done a fine job building on
what Mary started, so we have reason to celebrate.
Synch-or-Swimmers had their Fall Show.
Martha Solano has been the driving force of
this group of residents that put on a performance of synchronized moves to the song
Downtown by Petula Clark. The pool deck
was full with residents and staff to watch
them put their practice and teamwork on display. With their matching swim caps, they
circled, kicked, swam under and behind each
other in moves to appreciate! They got a nice
ovation and received gifts of flowers and
wine. If you missed their performance, you
can see it on YouTube, Synch-or-Swimmer.
Martha, we thank you for getting your team
in the pool with everyone’s differing schedules. We applaud your team for being committed to putting on a good show, and they
had fun!
Leading Age of Georgia, a non-profit organization focused on community-based services for seniors, selected Lorene Pilcher for
recognition on profiles of Positive Aging for
her leadership in initiating the Scholarship
Program for Canterbury employees. Initial
Scholarship Committee members are quick to
ascribe the success of this program to
Lorene's determination and energy in getting
it started in the right way. The program was
begun in 2013. In 2015, Lorene remained on
the committee but turned the chair over to
Jean Ellen Jones, who has continued to successfully direct the program. The residents'
enthusiastic support has assured the program's success. At the end of this semester,
seven employees who received scholarships
will have graduated from college or technical
school. Eighteen employees with scholarship
support will attend college in spring semester,
which begins in January. Several more employees are in various stages of inquiring and
applying for the program. Employees have
an opportunity to advance their careers and
realize their dreams due to the efforts of
Lorene, then Jean Ellen, the Scholarship
Committee members, and, most of all, the
residents.
We had a special holiday season in 2016
and can be grateful for being part of a generous, creative, and active community. We appreciate the commitment, work and heart that
goes into these endeavors. You deserve to receive applause, take a bow, and celebrate!
Knowing our community, there will be more
in store as we look to the New Year.

PAVILION SOCIAL SERVICES
The holiday season was in full
swing on the Pavilion. Johnette
and her team pulled off another
amazing quarter of engaging social activities and events for our
second and third floor residents.
Liz
Woltzen In October, our Residents participated in creative cooking and
made some delicious owl cupcakes and candy
corn and popcorn hands. They headed out for
the annual Dahlonega trip to Smith House
and Hill Crest Apple Orchard. Then, of
course, there was the Halloween party with
Tom & Harriet providing the entertainment.
Joining us, in costume, were she-devils,
clowns, kitty cats, Cleopatra, Tammy Faye
Baker, and a pirate. Residents also participated in Halloween crafts and created pumpkin
paintings, ghostly pops. And would the season be without a carved pumpkin?
In November, we had Western Day with
the Society Express Band. Everyone brought
their cowboy and cowgirl best, and dressed
for the occasion with bandanas and hats.
There was quite a bit of dancing and fun! We
also joined the rest of the Canterbury community for the Veterans Day Program in the
community center. Residents were busy with
Thanksgiving crafts, including stain glass sun
catchers and glove gobblers. In case you
were wondering what glove gobblers are, you
create a turkey with different candies and latex gloves. I never knew latex gloves could
be used for so many festive decorations. The
fun did not stop there. Residents also had an
outing to Norman's Landing in Cumming,
GA and had a chance to enjoy some music
from the Bixieland band.
We continued the holiday season in December with visits and singing from lots of
children's groups, including: Voices of Love
Threshold Choir, Brownie troupes, Cub
Packs, Peachtree Road Lutheran Church, and
Dekalb PATH Academy. The newly renovated Pavilion was decorated and Residents created dish brush Christmas wreaths, and Santa
elves out of clay pots. There was no shortage
of Christmas carols. The Pavilion Christmas
party was our first big event back on the Pavilion after the renovation and everyone had
a great time listening to Christmas music
from Jennifer and Beverly with their piano
duet. We also had a cameo appearance from
the Canterbury Choristers and James Wells
joined us again for a sing along.
We are looking forward to our New
Year's Eve party, which we are sure will be a
blast! Our hats go off to Johnette and her
team for putting together a great calendar of
events.
Elizabeth M. Woltzen, LMS x3269

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Ad Hoc Hearing Loss Committee
Joyce Choplin, Chair
After a Hearing Survey conducted with the
residents in addition to research, the committee
recommends to the Residents Council that a hearing assistive device , commonly known as a telecoil or looping system, be installed in the Community Room. This system uses wireless technology.
It involves professionally installing a loop or perimeter loop around a facility. The telecoil is a
small copper wire in hearing aids, and it is wirelessly activated by the loop. An audiologist can
activate the telecoil if it is in the hearing aid. The
committee is excited about the possibility of this
coming to Canterbury to improve the lives of the
hearing impaired.

Accumulation Sale
January is the start of a new
year for the Accumulation Sale.
As many of you may already
know, we are changing things
around a bit in 2017.
Given the financial success
Martha (close to $8,500) with minimal
Solano work on our part from the Accumulation Auction with EBTH.com last summer, we have decided to replace the spring
sale with an online auction. This should allow
us to raise as much, if not more money without the highly intensive work required by the
committee, residents, and staff. The auction
will be online from March 29 – April 4, 2017
with items picked up from the A-room on
April 6.
I encourage all of you to look around
your apartments and storage cages to see if
there isn’t something that you can donate to
the auction. Think of collections, designer accessories, sterling silver, crystal and china,
decorative pieces, and the like. Perhaps,
you’d like to donate a car? EBTH typically
gets more than the Blue Book value for cars,
which means that you can deduct that full
amount.
We will begin collecting things for the
auction in February and you will receive a donation form later in January. So start looking
and thinking.
We will continue to have interim furniture
sales when we have enough of an inventory to
warrant and it is likely there will be one in
January or early February. We will also have
a small sale after the auction for spring clothing and other miscellaneous items. That date
is to be determined. And, we will have a full
Fall Accumulation Sale on October 12 – 13.
We will begin collections for the fall sale at
the end of August.
2017 looks to be an eventful year for the
Accumulation Sale and we look forward to
help from as many of you as are able.

Goode, Hall and Helen
Birthplaces: Helen—Royal Oaks, MI Hall—Carnesville, GA
Birthdays: Helen—November 7 Hall—January 26
Apartment: 722 Move In: December 7, 2016
Hall Goode was in flight training during
WWII at the University of Minnesota, when
the sister of a crew member came to visit.
Sister Helen was introduced to Hall -- they
wrote long distance letters for a year and
then married. That was 70 years ago! They
settled in Marietta and reared two daughters
and a son. Hall was owner of Goode Brothers Poultry Processing in College Park.
Daughter Carol lives in Atlanta with husband Terrell McIlhaney. Their children are
Carson married to Susan Joy and Claire
married to Rankin Sterling, a history professor in Alabama. Hall and Helen’s greatgrandchildren are Mary Brook and Carson
McIlhaney and Mary McCain Sterling
Son Lynn Goode is married to Susanna
and they live in Coral Gables, FL. Their
children are Brandon and Bridget. Daughter
Christine, now retiring from teaching in
Cobb County, is married to Michael White,
also retired. Their children are Rachel, a
massage therapist, and Matthew, a counselor.
Helen and Hall have a long tradition of
gathering all their family at the family house
on Lake Burton the day after Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately the house was hit by a tornado and heavily damaged -- they are now in
rebuilding mode. All the trees were ruined.
The Goode’s 2016 Christmas tree at Canterbury is a living tree the family plans to plant
on the property at Lake Burton. The day of
this interview, they were preparing for 22
family members to come see their new home
at Canterbury. Clearly family is what matters
JEJmost to Hall and Helen.
The Goodes attend the Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. Both Helen and Hall have been
very active in garden clubs, especially the National Chrysanthemum Society and the Atlanta Bonsai Society. Hall was one of the founders of the Atlanta Botanical Society, along
with Mrs. Cecil Day. They have brought
some bonsai plants to Canterbury. Both Hall
and Helen also enjoy tennis. We are glad you
chose Canterbury. Welcome.

Art
Babette Tipping will be Canterbury Court’s Artist of the
Month for January and February.
Sadly our Artist Gallery is not a
full scale museum that could display all of her paintings, her neeJanet
dlepoint and her cleverly and
Dawson
skillfully painted pieces of furniture.
Growing up in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
graduating from Carleton College with a
B. A. in Fine Arts, studying with internationally known artists, Babette has made the various media an integral part of her life’s expressions.
The selections of her work on display will
be primarily acrylic paintings. In college she
worked with various media but she received
significant recognition for her watercolors
when she was living in Annapolis, Maryland.
She is the artist responsible for the oil paintings of the birds in Chicago’s Lincoln Park
Zoo aviary.
Babette was introduced to furniture faux
painting and pursued it vigorously following
the untimely death of her first husband. She
would commute to New York City from An-
napolis to
study at the
Isabelle
O’Neil
Studio. She
later studied
this
technique
in
San
Francisco
and LonBabette Tipping
don. Examples of her furniture that has been enhanced
by her method of marbling, distressing, and
faux painting can be seen throughout Bill and
Babette’s spacious and gloriously bright
apartment in the West Tower.
Speaking of gloriously bright, the art
workshop on the ground floor of the South
Tower has been Babette’s studio. The light,
the view out into the garden, the ample space
for her easel and materials, the readily accessible sinks and work areas encouraged and enabled this wonderful creativity during the past
ten years.

JANUARY 2017 MEETING
Hello, Canterbury neighbors. Happy New
Year! We will meet on Monday, January 23rd,
at 2:00 PM, in GHR. Our meetings last about
one hour. Come and launch your new year
with us. Actually reading the book is not a requirement. Come out and enjoy the conversation. Details:
Discussion Leader: Charlie Wright.
The book: The Immortal Life of Henrietta
Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot.
Book Categories: Nonfiction, history, biography, science, and health/medicine.
Synopsis: Henrietta Lacks, as HeLa, is
known to present-day scientists for her cells
from cervical cancer. She was a poor Southern
tobacco farmer who worked the same land as
her slave ancestors. Her cells were taken without her knowledge and still live decades after
her death. Cells descended from her may
weigh more than 50 metric tons.
HeLa cells were vital for developing the
polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects; helped
lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have
been bought and sold by the billions. Come
discuss and hear how her story evolved. See
you there.

Choristers
Thank you so very much for
your wonderful encouragement to
the Canterbury Choristers! You
were very supportive of the
Christmas programs in the PavilMary ion and in the Community Room
Archer last month and the singers were
impressed by the large number of
friends and neighbors who took time to come,
listen and applaud.
I think everyone agrees that the Choristers have ‘turned the corner’ under John1
Carter’s talented leadership. A big bravo to
accompanist, Carolyn Thorsen; mountain dulcimer player, Jennifer Evans; guest violinist,
Ellena Hogrefe; soloists Gail Johnson and
Tom Thorsen and of course, to Director John
King Carter and the singers. Y’all, take a
bow!
Rehearsals start again on Monday, Jan. 9th,
4:00 in the Community Room. If you read
music and have been in a choral group in the
past and still have a yen to sing, come join the
Choristers. They will be starting new music:
some easy, and some more challenging, but
it’s good to have this mental exercise and we
all profit as we learn new skills. With the support of other interested residents, I started this
venture late summer, 2015, and I have a vested interested in its continued success. Director
John joins me in inviting you to join the sopranos, altos, tenors or basses as they continue
to make music together. Let’s keep the ball
rolling.
Remember, singing adds a dimension to
our life at Canterbury Court. It’s refreshing!
You leave rehearsals with a smile on your
face. Come and try it!

Choristers Committee
The Four C’s Store
This time of year everything seems to be focused on
NEW…New Year, new you,
new exercise plan, new diet.
However, new is not always
good and change is not always
necessary. For example our in
Tricia
-house store: It started out in a
Gaston
closet in the North Tower, and
now has its own storefront and an inventory
storeroom far larger than the original closet.
It has been growing and evolving for many,
many years; it is in a “good place” and accomplishes what was intended. Since I began
writing articles about the 4Cs store I have
heard from many residents on how appreciative they are that we have this store. I’ve also
heard comments about how nice it would be
if the store were open on more days, and for
longer hours. For the many new residents
who don’t already know this by heart the
store is open Monday/Wednesday/Friday
from 9:30 – 11:30 AM. For the foreseeable
future these dates and times are not going to
change. Thus, we know the days and the
hours, and we must plan ahead! Although the
store's name is derived from a “cash and carry” payment system when it first opened, this
too HAS changed. Residents may charge purchases to their CC accounts and the charge
will be reflected on the monthly bill. I don’t
think, though, we will call it the 5Cs Store!
Don’t forget us! Do come down to see us.
Do your shopping first, and then drop by the
Café for free coffee and camaraderie. And we
have good coffee at Canterbury!
Here’s a thought! While you’re on the
ground floor shopping, talking, and sipping
coffee you might check out the schedule for
an exercise class. Now that would be new for
some of us! Happy New Year 2017! See you
in the store!

Game Night
What is game night? No, it’s not a Sunday, Monday, Thursday NFL game night!
At Canterbury Court it is an
opportunity to play some of
the games we may have
played growing up. Game
Night is the brainchild of our
relatively new resident Jeann
Blankenship and it entails just
Tricia
about any game you might
Gaston wish to play...except bridge!
The weekly Canterbury Court
Game Night kicked off in September. Those
first few Monday nights some of us learned a
new game, Mexican Train, a game of dominoes. I’d never heard of it but now that I’ve
played it a few times I want to play it more
often. We’ve played Bananagram, a word
game introduced in 2006 at the London Toy
CS
Fair. And we enjoy Rummikub, a game
which uses moveable tiles instead of cards
and is similar to Rummy. We may try Mahjong or Trivial Pursuit one night! It’s up to
those who show up as to what we decide to
play.
It’s a New Year; how about a New
you…..not that there is anything wrong with
the Old You! But maybe the Old You will
learn a new game in 2017, meet other residents and exercise your mind all while having fun!
Watch for the January flyer posted in our
elevators announcing when Game Night will
resume. Any questions, please feel free to
contact me or Jean.
We’re game….hope you are, too!

Garden
Good news from the Garden:
The rains came in December after a drought of many months.
Brandon Fowler arranged for
Contemporary Gardens to repair
Margaret several of the uneven sections of
Langford our sidewalks. One hundred additional daffodils were planted
along the path up to the Dog Park. The lawns
are looking lush and green after a complete
renewal by Contemporary Gardens. Look for
yellow Winter Jasmine (January Jasmine)
blooming in the South Bog soon.
As we begin a New Year, let’s all resolve to
get outside and walk around the gardens
whenever we can.

Know Your Staff
Deborah Beasley
Canterbury’s Deborah Beasley came to us
on January 21, 2008. She had previously
worked at Lenbrook.
The next-to-last of 10 children, Deborah
hails from Paducah, Ky. She came to Atlanta
26 years ago, to join her sister here. She
wasn’t sure how she would like it, but it must
have been OK because she’s still here! Deborah commented on how very much Atlanta
has changed in the past 27 years, and noted
that MARTA services have improved considerably since she arrived.
Deborah is a big MARTA fan, using it for
her commute to Canterbury, for shopping
(which she loves to do), and for her frequent
bowling outings. Relaxing and picnics are
among her favorite pastimes.
Her many relatives include son Kelvin in
Atlanta, and siblings in Augusta, Florida,
Louisiana, Milwaukee and Paducah.
Deborah appreciates being at Canterbury
where she works for Housekeeping with
Ashaki Borders. She especially enjoys looking after “her residents” because they treat her
so well. We’re lucky to have you here, Deborah!

The CBC Recycling Committee did not meet in December.
We plan to resume our monthly
meetings on Tuesday, January 10
at 3 PM in GHR.
A reminder to all CBC ResiWalda dents: Please recycle your gift
Lavroff boxes and wrapping material.
But no Styrofoam, please.
Committee members continue to pick up
used batteries from the designated containers
in the Trash Rooms. I have found literally
hundreds of spent batteries in the containers
on the 4th and 5th floor of the West Tower (to
which I am assigned). We take those batteries to a big collection bucket on the lower
level of the CBC Security Office. The Committee needs to address the disposition of batteries from CBC Security.
There are other unresolved issues, such as
composting food waste through ‘Closed Loop
Organics’ and a Sustainability Program for
CBC’s future.
If any of our readers have access to the
December issue of the Georgia Tech Alumni
Magazine, which is devoted to Sustainability,
please save it, and/or give it to our Committee. Our Resident Services Director Kathy
Hobbs has brought this Georgia Tech magazine to my attention. This magazine could be
a big help to us in our efforts toward
‘Creation Care of Planet Earth’.
Our committee is seeking a few new
members who are willing and able to work
with us. If you are interested, please attend
our next meeting,

Scholarships
Mavis Krah Anane
“You guys have been amazing!”
exclaimed Canterbury employee
Mavis Anane, who has just completed an Associate Degree in
Nursing from Darton State ColJean
lege. She was praising the CanEllen
terbury Court Scholarship ComJones
mittee and residents who have
paid for her college tuition and fees. She says
she has been grateful not to be burdened with
the high student loans of her classmates.
During the recent interview, Mavis emphasized that Canterbury aid went well beyond
the financial. The Scholarship Committee
stepped in to lend structure and to encourage
her throughout the process. They reminded
her of deadlines. Mavis reserved special
thanks for her contact person on the Scholarship Committee, Mrs. Nordel Wilson, who
“gave me an extra push along the way.” Mavis added, “When I said I was tired, she said,
take some time off, but remember to go
back.” Director of Nursing, Regene Vincent,
helped too, creating a schedule that worked
around Mavis’
classes. Administrator
Julie
Parker was a
regular

leader.
Mavis
summarized,
“We are all

Darton State will send her transcript to state

Travel
Exploring a bit of
NorthWest Georgia
The Georgia Director of the
Conservation Fund (a non-profit
Environmental Stewardship Organization), Andrew Schock,
Walda asked me if I wanted to accompaLavroff ny him on a day tour to hike a
stretch of the Pinhoti Trail in
Floyd County. Hiking in the forest? Of
course! I had hiked with Andrew on the PinCS
hoti trail near Springer Mountain, and had
learned then that the name derives from the
Creek Indian meaning “turkey home”. The
entire trail stretches from Alabama’s Appalachian Mountains into Northwest Georgia and
on to Springer Mountain.
Driving from Atlanta toward our hiking
start, my friend asked me if I had seen a little
town named Cave Spring in Floyd County. I
have lived in Georgia for decades, but I had
never heard of Cave Spring. Andrew thought
I should become educated about my adopted
“home state”. He pulled off the road into this
little town, population about 1,000.
Notwithstanding the current unprecedented dry spell, here was a natural mineral water
spring flowing out of the limestone hill. The
people who were filling their containers told
me that this water was totally pure and uncontaminated. The water temperature is said to
be a consistent 57 degrees F, and it flows constantly.
This experience alone would have been
worth the outing. But we went on to our hike
on the Pinhoti Trail in the Northwest corner of
Georgia (see photo). We could see Alabama in
the distance, about 10 miles away. I was glad
to have brought my two Leki Hiking canes.
The path was very dry; straw-like pine needles made the path slick. But to be in a forest
felt like home to me.
No turkeys were in sight, but white tailed
deer hopped across our path, hiding in the
bushes to observe us. We were lucky not to
encounter smoke from the wild fires; the wind
direction on that day was in our favor but
leaves and pine needles were thickly covered
with dust.
After hiking
Starting on the Trail
about 2 ½ to 3
miles we drove back via Cherokee County
near Canton and the ‘Santa Claus Mountain’ (the hill really is called that), barely in
time to avoid the worst of the afternoon traffic
to and from Atlanta.

Historical Rural Churches of Georgia Presentation, January 23
Historical Rural Churches of Georgia is a project created by a nonprofit of the same name
whose mission is to preserve as many of these architecturally significant buildings as possible. The hope is that the endangered and important landmarks can continue to inspire the
beauty and wonder for which they were originally erected. These structures ranged from
primitive out-buildings to ones featuring more elaborate designs. They served rural communities that eventually begat the villages, towns, counties and cities that make up Georgia
today.
Canterbury will host the two founders, Sonny Seals and George Hart on Monday, January 23, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. in the Community Room.
Don’t miss this special opportunity to learn about this project!
(Our library has a copy of this splendid book.)
