Penny & Red:
The Life of Secretariats Owner
Activity #483000.02
Date: Tuesday, October 14
Time: 5:30 p.m.
As part of the Boulder
International Film Festivals
(BIFF) outreach program,
we are fortunate to have the
director of the movie "Penny and Red" to introduce
the flm and answer questions following the flm. The
flm goes from her parents climb out of poverty to her
own emergence as the "First Lady of Racing." Penny
Chenerys life has always been fueled by the love
of horses. Forever paired with the great Secretariat.
Penny's personal story also exemplifes the rise of
women in her generation. The woman who emerges
from this surprisingly candid documentary is no
Disney princess. Yet Pennys unstinting refection of
her life of caged ambition, suddenly liberated by a
horse of transcendent power, still gives of a shimmer
of grace. Weaving together previously-unreleased
photos and flms from family archives and intimate
conversations with award-winning flmmaker John
Tweedy, Penny & Red reveals her story as never
before. Depending on circumstances, Penny is also
hoping to join us! (2013, 60 min.)

Special Events at the Senior Center
Friday, October 17
Sandra Wong Trio, with the
Nykelharpa and Fiddle!
Born in Ithaca, New
York, Sandra Wong
began studying the
violin at age seven
with the intention of
becoming a concert
violinist. This was
her sole focus for the
next 15 years until she discovered fddling, and her
entire musical world turned upside down! It began
with Irish, Oldtime and Bluegrass jams and festivals,
and has grown into teaching, performing, recording
and collaborating with other musicians from a
diverse range of world music genres. In 1999, she
was introduced to (and fell in love with!) a wonderful
Swedish folk instrument, the nyckelharpa (a 16
stringed, keyed bowed instrument). It has become
an integral part of her work and musical expression.
To date, Sandra has released two solo albums, "It's
About Time" (on fddle) and "Joy" (on nyckelharpa). A
new album is scheduled to be released this year.

Today, the Harry Potter books are the best-selling book
series of all time and have inspired the most successful
flm series to date, but when she frst conceived of
the Wizarding World, Joanne (J.K.) Rowling was a
single mother struggling to support herself and her
child. Learn about Rowling's inspirational success
and discover how this story of an orphaned wizard
turned a whole generation into the
"Potter Generation." What was it like
for those who have come of age in this
decade to grow up alongside Harry? We
will examine the positions of those who
embraced the books and those who
condemned them as poisonous to youth. We will also
look at the ways in which Rowling enriched her story
with an encyclopedic knowledge of myth, alchemy,
and other traditional lore. After that, you can decide
if Harry Potter is a story for the ages or just another
passing fad. Presented by Kelly Cowling of the Grey
Havens Group.

There are some things, such as inequity, injustice, and

us to understand ourselves. We will discuss both
American and British popular shows with lots of

The Inklings on Time and Eternity
Activity #484420.01
Date: Mondays, September 8, 15, 22, 29
Time: 9:00 10:00 a.m.
As the heirs to a Western contemplative tradition that
can be traced back at least as far as Pythagoras, C.S.
Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and their friends (collectively
known as the Oxford Inklings) were able to develop
a view of time and eternity that enabled the wise to
live according to reason, in peace with nature, and
without fear of death. This class examines that view as
it appears in the literary and philosophical writings of
the Inklings and as it can be applied to everyday life.
Romanticism Come of Age:
The Imaginative Theology
of the Oxford Inklings
Activity #484420.02
Date: Mondays, October 6, 13, 20, 27
Time: 9:00 10:00 a.m.
Generations have enjoyed the imaginative fction
of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and their friends among
the literary circle that called itself the Inklings, but
few realize that behind Narnia and Middle-earth
lies a complex and unorthodox view of God, nature,
and human consciousness. Join us as we explore
a worldview that both looks back to the works of
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, William Wordsworth,
and Samuel Taylor Coleridge and looks forward
to a solution to the existential crisis facing us in an
increasingly material age.

fueled by the love of horses, forever paired with
the great Secretariat. Penny's personal story also
exemplifies the rise of women in her generation. The
woman who emerges from this surprisingly candid
documentary is no Disney princess. Yet Pennys
unstinting reflection of her life of caged ambition,
suddenly liberated by a horse of transcendent
power, still gives off a shimmer of grace. Weaving
together previously-unreleased photos and films
from family archives, and intimate conversations
with award-winning filmmaker John Tweedy, Penny

"Smart, articulate psychiatrist Clark Wang is dying of
lymphoma and knows it when he attempts to arrange
a 'green burial': no embalming, no vault-like cofn,
no institutional feel or machines just a grave in an
open, protected landscape so that he can perceive his
coming death and decay as part of a natural process
and it can unroll that way in real time. The documentary
visits 'green cemeteries' in the U.S. which preserve
landscapes and make the conservation of the land in
perpetuity a gift of the burial."

to put end-of-life wishes in writing, only around
20% have actually done it, and even fewer have
spoken to their family about their wishes. If we dont
communicate those wishes to our loved ones in
advance, they can experience real distress if they ever
need to make decisions on our behalf. The mission of
The Conversation Project in Boulder County is to foster
meaningful and efective conversations about end-of-
life care. This program will stimulate discussions on the
topic and provide you with a Starter Kit to help you get
started thinking about how to have the conversation.

Aging in Place Safely: By Sheena Jaffer
Simple and practical tips to keep elders who are aging in place safe and contribute to their well-being.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a third of adults ages 65 and
older fall each year. Statistics show that every 18 to 20 seconds an older adult ends up in the emergency
room because of a fall, many of which happen in their own homes. Data suggests that only about
15 percent of those aging in place take proactive steps to safeguard their homes. As caregivers and
professionals, it is a good practice to regularly assess a homes safety. Here are 12 useful tips. While this
list may not encompass every potential hazard, it will serve as a good, practical start.
1. Keep a printed list of emergency and family phone numbers in large font, inserted in a clear
plastic sleeve close to the telephone, in the bedroom and-or kitchen.
2. Place lamps and a cordless phone within easy reach of the bed or often-used chair.
3. Ensure there is a clear pathway between the bedroom and bathroom.
4. Set up nightlights in the bedroom and bathroom.
5. Keep a flashlight close to the bedside and another in the kitchen in case of emergencies.
6. Discard all throw rugs.
7. Ensure suitable chair heights, including tub and toilet seats.
8. Double check shoes for proper fit, preferably they are low heels and slippers with non-skid soles.
9. Ensure there is a long-handled shoehorn to assist putting on footwear.
10. Organize clothes and necessities so they are within easy reach.
11. Maintain assistive devices, such as walkers, canes, wheelchairs and others in good working order
12. Explore the latest safety and security assistive technologies that might facilitate an optimal
quality of life.
Sheena Jaffer, CASP, CAPS, ASA Member and graduate of ASA's 2012 Leadership Academy, is pursuing
her lifelong calling to be an advocate for elders.

Aging in Place Safely: By Sheena Jaffer
Simple and practical tips to keep elders who are aging in place safe and contribute to their well-being.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a third of adults ages 65 and
older fall each year. Statistics show that every 18 to 20 seconds an older adult ends up in the emergency
room because of a fall, many of which happen in their own homes. Data suggests that only about
15 percent of those aging in place take proactive steps to safeguard their homes. As caregivers and
professionals, it is a good practice to regularly assess a homes safety. Here are 12 useful tips. While this
list may not encompass every potential hazard, it will serve as a good, practical start.
1. Keep a printed list of emergency and family phone numbers in large font, inserted in a clear
plastic sleeve close to the telephone, in the bedroom and-or kitchen.
2. Place lamps and a cordless phone within easy reach of the bed or often-used chair.
3. Ensure there is a clear pathway between the bedroom and bathroom.
4. Set up nightlights in the bedroom and bathroom.
5. Keep a flashlight close to the bedside and another in the kitchen in case of emergencies.
6. Discard all throw rugs.
7. Ensure suitable chair heights, including tub and toilet seats.
8. Double check shoes for proper fit, preferably they are low heels and slippers with non-skid soles.
9. Ensure there is a long-handled shoehorn to assist putting on footwear.
10. Organize clothes and necessities so they are within easy reach.
11. Maintain assistive devices, such as walkers, canes, wheelchairs and others in good working order
12. Explore the latest safety and security assistive technologies that might facilitate an optimal
quality of life.
Sheena Jaffer, CASP, CAPS, ASA Member and graduate of ASA's 2012 Leadership Academy, is pursuing
her lifelong calling to be an advocate for elders.
City of Longmont
Emergency ALERT -
If police & fire had to reach you in an
emergency, could they?
Anyone living within Longmont city limits that no
longer has a landline in their home and wants to
receive police and fire emergency notifications
(known as reverse 9-1-1) must register. If you
own additional communication devices, i.e.,
cell phones, VoIP (voice over Internet protocol),
email, etc., you will also want to sign up for this
service as it provides a number of additional
ways in which emergency information can be
disseminated quickly. You can sign up yourself at
www.ci.longmont.co.us/police. If we cant reach
you, we cant alert you.
File of Life
If you are home alone and suddenly become ill,
how would the paramedics know your specific
medical needs and who to call for you? If you are
in a car accident and unconscious, how would the
emergency responders know about your allergies
and medical status? You can prepare yourself
for these medical emergencies by posting the
File of Life prominently on your refrigerator. First
responders are trained to look for this information on
refrigerators. Also, consider carrying the File of Life
in your car and in your wallet or purse. This handy,
concise card contains information that details your
medical conditions, allergies, and medications. It
also lists your emergency contacts and insurance
information. You can get your free cards from
Boulder County CareConnect, 303-443-1933. www.
careconnectbc.org, or at the Senior Center.
