B Y L IZ K ILFOY , FOR THE L ECTURE C OMMITTEE
Mon., Sept. 26 at 2:00 in MPR.
Wed., Sept. 28 at 2:00 in MPR.
Reports of violence fill the daily news, in print,
on the radio and on the screen. Local, regional,
national and global stories all share a common
theme of violence — it is always news,
everywhere. How do we account for this
aspect of ourselves? How might we address
this seemingly intractable behavior? Dr.
Stephen McKenna will explore these questions
and more in his lecture, “Violence: the
Exception or the Rule?”
Fred Sadler served the US
Food & Drug Administration
for more than 40 years,
retiring as the Director of
FDA’s Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) office.
His responsibilities included making agency
determinations on denials of information,
appeals, and litigation support for FDA, the
Dept. of Health and Human Services and the
Dept. of Justice.
McKenna is Associate Professor and Chair of
the Department of Media and Communication
Studies at The Catholic University of America,
where he is also a fellow at the Institute for
Policy Research and Catholic Studies. His
research interests include: the history and
theory of rhetoric; 18th-century Anglo-ScotsAmerican rhetoric and ethics; the rhetoric of
propaganda and advertising, and the mimetic
theory of René Girard. Among his publications
are Adam Smith: The Rhetoric of
Propriety (SUNY, 2005), and World's Greatest
Speeches, 4th ed. (Dover, 1999). Published
articles cover a range of topics such as Adam
Smith, the rhetoric of advertising, and the U.S.
presidential rhetoric. He is currently at work on
a book about Abraham Lincoln's rhetoric.
Please join Dr. McKenna in the MPR on
Monday, September 26 at 2pm. All are
welcome.
In addition to routinely providing instruction
and direction on the programs within FDA and
HHS, Fred was regularly invited to speak at
numerous non-government organizations and
more than a dozen federal government
agencies; served as an instructor for the Dept.
of Justice more than 30 times; and testified
before the U.S. House of Representatives on
pending legislative reform to the FOIA.
He received the HHS Secretary's Award for
Distinguished Service and the FDA
Commissioner’s Award (three times), and has
received more than 30 additional awards from
within, and external to, the federal
government.

“Peace Is Possible When…”
B Y H ELEN S MITS , FOR THE IT C OMMITTEE
September 21 is the International Day of
Peace. October 2 is the Inaugural IKF Stepanek
Peace Lecture. Between these two occasions,
one global and the other local, residents are
invited to consider what makes peace possible.
You will find our lobby set up to display
residents’ expressions of peace. You will also
find a station in the lobby where you may add
your reflections on peace. When is peace
possible? What makes peace possible? What is
your part in making it so? Add your voice, add
your spirit. You make peace possible.
B Y R ICHARD T HAYER , C HAPLAIN
Thanks so much to everyone for your response
to the Comcast/Verizon survey. We learned a

you want from the “bulk” provider of services.

“Comcast-Verizon Survey Report.”

Cody’s Corner
Claire Nissenbaum Receives
Lifetime Achievement Award
B Y C ODY C HRISTIAN , F ITNESS M ANAGER
“Wellness Wednesday: How to Get Up Off the
Ground” – Wed., Sept. 28 at 11:30 am – 12:30
pm in MPR.
In this seminar you will
learn about why falls
occur, how to prevent
them, and proper
technique to get up off the
ground with and without a chair. This seminar
will have a practice component for those
interested and capable of running through the
different techniques I will be teaching.
BY J UDY
D OCTOR
On September 18, I had the privilege of being
present at a luncheon when my friend and our
fellow resident Claire Nissenbaum was honored
with an award for “Lifetime Achievement in the
Dyslexia Community” for her leadership and
pioneer work on dyslexia. The award was
presented by the Atlantic Seaboard Dyslexia
Education Center (ASDEC) which, referring to
Claire’s diminutive height, said she is known as
the “Little Giant of Dyslexia Education.”
In her early roles as an educator and education
reporter, Claire recognized the need for a
comprehensive approach to helping children
with dyslexia, who were achieving below their
potential in reading and math. After many years
with the Center School as President and CEO of
Tri-Services National Institute for Dyslexia, in
2000 Claire founded and became Executive
Director of ASDEC, where she developed a
unique program to train Academic Therapists.
The program developed new techniques based
for teaching academic language skills and also
incorporated the best techniques from several
other U.S. programs. Today ASDEC faculty
members teach throughout the U.S. as well as
Canada, and trainees come from Hong Kong, and
Brazil, and have impacted thousands of lives.
Health and Wellness Committee
I would like to introduce to everyone the first
IKF Health and Wellness Committee. We will be
working hard to continue to expand our
programs to be fully inclusive, diverse,
efficient, successful and fun.
Health and Wellness Committee Members:
Sam Girson, Bud Gordon, Janie Hillis,
Barbara Kirkpatrick, Renee Shaw, Carolyn
Shettle, Ev Sutton, Florence Whitman
We will place an initial survey Monday
September 26 on your ledges. We would
appreciate it if you would return the completed
survey to the box near the concierge desk by
midnight Friday September 30.
Walk Club Picnic 
Claire regards dyslexia not as a disability, but a
difference. It is a brain-based functional
variation that requires a unique program and
therapists with unique skills. She believes that
“For every dyslexic individual, if just one person
has faith in that individual, that individual will
succeed.”
Pack up a lunch and
come walk with us!
Weather permitting,
Thursday Sept. 29
the IKF Walk Club
will have its first
Walk & Picnic at Mattie JT Stepanek Park! We
will meet in the Atrium at 11:45! Please come
and join us if you are available!
In health,
Cody
Claire Nissenbaum served as Executive Director
of ASDEC until she retired in 2008.
