CROSSLANDS CHRONICLE MAY 2015 Volume 42, Number 5 THE NEW COMBINED INDEPENDENT LIVING UNITS AT CROSSLANDS At the recent CRA meeting, residents requested that we provide a more detailed account about the number and types of apartments that have been combined to create what we now term the “combo units.” Crosslands has done three types of combined apartments. They are: Expanded Two Bedroom – AB – a small one bedroom apartment (A) combined with a one bedroom apartment (B) Expanded Two Bedroom – BB – a one bedroom apartment (B) combined with a one bedroom apartment (B) Expanded Two Bedroom with Den – DD – a two bedroom apartment (D) combined with a two bedroom apartment (D). When all of the construction is complete, Crosslands will have eleven AB expanded two bed- rooms, twelve BB expanded two bedrooms and five DD expanded two bedrooms with den. The following provides a breakdown by building of the types and numbers of apartments that have been combined. In the Brinton building we have a BB Expanded two bedroom under construction that should be completed in July. That unit is sold. In the Cadbury building we have an AB Expanded two bedroom, which is sold and a DD Ex- panded two Bedroom with den which has an offer pending. In the Dyer building we have an AB Expanded two bedroom under construction that is due to be completed in mid-May; it is not sold. We have a BB Expanded two bedroom under con- struction with an offer pending due to be completed at the end of May. In the Evans building we have a DD Expanded two bedroom with den under construction due to be completed in early July that is sold. In the Rushmore building we have two DD Expanded two bedroom with den under construc- tion and both are sold. The first floor unit will be finished in mid-May and the second floor unit in mid-June. If anyone has any specific questions regarding these expanded apartments, please contact Nancy Regenye 610-388-5565. She will be happy to speak with you about them. Many thanks to those of you who have had these renovations taking place within your buildings. We know that it has been disruptive and we do appreciate your understanding in help- ing us to complete these combinations. Meg Lemley, COO, Kendal~Crosslands

THE NEW COMBINED INDEPENDENT LIVING UNITS AT CROSSLANDS At the recent CRA meeting, residents requested that we provide a more detailed account about the number and types of apartments that have been combined to create what we now term the “combo units.” Crosslands has done three types of combined apartments. They are: Expanded Two Bedroom – AB – a small one bedroom apartment (A) combined with a one

bedroom apartment (B) Expanded Two Bedroom – BB – a one bedroom apartment (B) combined with a one bedroom

apartment (B) Expanded Two Bedroom with Den – DD – a two bedroom apartment (D) combined with a

two bedroom apartment (D). When all of the construction is complete, Crosslands will have eleven AB expanded two bed-rooms, twelve BB expanded two bedrooms and five DD expanded two bedrooms with den. The following provides a breakdown by building of the types and numbers of apartments that have been combined. In the Brinton building we have a BB Expanded two bedroom under construction that should

be completed in July. That unit is sold. In the Cadbury building we have an AB Expanded two bedroom, which is sold and a DD Ex-

panded two Bedroom with den which has an offer pending. In the Dyer building we have an AB Expanded two bedroom under construction that is due to

be completed in mid-May; it is not sold. We have a BB Expanded two bedroom under con-struction with an offer pending due to be completed at the end of May.

In the Evans building we have a DD Expanded two bedroom with den under construction due to be completed in early July that is sold.

In the Rushmore building we have two DD Expanded two bedroom with den under construc-tion and both are sold. The first floor unit will be finished in mid-May and the second floor unit in mid-June.

If anyone has any specific questions regarding these expanded apartments, please contact Nancy Regenye 610-388-5565. She will be happy to speak with you about them. Many thanks to those of you who have had these renovations taking place within your buildings. We know that it has been disruptive and we do appreciate your understanding in help-ing us to complete these combinations.

DID YOU KNOW THAT... — Mary Pinkney is home from a visit to Florida and Puerto Rico? Who says you can't travel at age 101? — two busses are needed for the many Crosslands folks who attend the five plays at the University of Delaware? — if the front parking lot is full, there are parking spaces at the lower level of the Cen-ter ? — one of our resident foxes was seen recently sitting in the middle of Crosslands Drive? It was a beautiful sight. — the Crosslands gardeners are busy planting at their homes and in the vegetable gardens? The summer should bring a bumper crop if the deer and other pests stay away. — there are many wonderful local plant sales that support worthy causes? Look in the local papers for a listing of their locations.

CRA FUND DRIVE

It is only once a year that we come to you to fund our CRA programs. As you saw at the Committee Fair that was held recently, there is so much to do and enjoy at Cross-lands and it all requires money from the CRA. How do we get that money? We don't ask you to buy cookies, magazines or raffle tickets, but we do ask you to fund the pro-grams that bring you and your fellow resi-dents so much enjoyment. We have a fund-raising goal of $45,000 - the same amount as last year. The money donated by you along with income from the Sunflower Shop, the Woodshop, ceramics and the copier fees will allow us to run all the programs and maintain a bal-anced budget. So, if you have gone to a musical evening, a lecture, attended games night, gardened, admired the flowers in the Center or borrowed a book from the Library remem-ber that they are all funded by the CRA and you. We understand that the ability to con-tribute varies from household to household, but we do hope for full participation. Any amount that you can comfortably contribute is appreciated. Please make checks out to the Crosslands Residents Association and put them in the box on the Bulletin Board shelf.

The Situation of Native Americans Speaker: Elizabeth B. Murfee

Tues., May 5 - Wm. Penn Room 7:30 p.m.

Elizabeth Murfee's interest in the indige-nous people of North America grew from living in Arizona since 1990. Arizona is the home of 22 tribal reservations, including the Navaho Nation, the largest in the world and the Tohono O'odhan, the second largest in the U.S. The latter extends into Mexico. An author of numerous publications on the arts, culture and government, Ms. Murfee now serves as a trustee of the Heard Museum, the world-renowned museum of Native American arts in Phoenix. She is also involved with the Ameri-can Indian Institute, the Arizona State Museum and numerous other organizations that focus on America's native peoples.

Seeing Differently Janyce Broude

Fri., May 8 – Wm. Penn Room – 7:30 p.m.

Janyce Broude, a resident of Cartmel, took up photography seriously in the 1970s and 1980s, before the widespread use of digital cam-eras. Her work at that time, which she describes as “table-top, experimental and studio photog-raphy,” was widely shown and received recogni-tion at competitions both here and abroad. In the program she will present at Crosslands, Janyce will revisit this period of her photographic career. She will show us some images that are of hand-made set-ups, some that create artful patterns and textures by overlaying photos, and some that are taken with special film or special lighting to produce unusual effects. Her creative experi-ments have yielded uniquely fascinating images that you will not soon forget.

COMPUTER LAB UPDATE The renovation of the Center brought about the need for the Computer Lab to accom-modate the (new) resident copy machine. As a result, the Lab has been reconfigured slightly by removing one PC. We now have a total of five computers for general use: four PCs and one Mac. All of these computers remain connected to one color printer and one black-and-white printer. As was the case with the previous loca-tion of the copy machine, the Computer Lab lacks space for people to collate documents; however, the copy machine does have a collat-ing feature on it (it is the “Sort” option on the machine’s touch screen). The Copy Committee continues to be responsible for the operation of the copy ma-chine and detailed instructions for its operation are located in a plastic rack beside the ma-chine.

Climate Change: Meeting the Challenge of Tipping Points

Speaker: Dr. Paul Morgan Mon., May 11 - Wm. Penn Room - 10:30 a.m.

Almost all scientists have come to the con-clusion that the 21st century will be the century of climate change. What must happen to ensure that we prevent the earth from reaching tipping points beyond which we risk large, abrupt and disastrous changes? In this talk, Dr. Morgan will report on efforts to address climate change from individual actions to institutional commitments to the United Nations (which seeks to reach a global climate accord in Paris in December of 2015). Though awareness of climate change is increas-ing, we have not yet reached the levels of urgen-cy and action that the crisis demands. Our hope lies in the possibility of a rapid cultural shift that includes educational, political and technological solutions. Dr. Morgan is a professor in the Depart-ment of Professional & Secondary Education at West Chester University. He is the founder and director of the University’s certificate programs in Education for Sustainability and has served as the University’s Sustainability Coordinator. Prof. Morgan is a board member of the Amazon Cen-ter for Environmental Education and Research and is a frequent presenter at conferences and workshops related to sustainability and educa-tion.

A FOOD MORSEL

Harvard researchers re-port that eating whole grains is associated with longevity. A Harvard study stated that eat-ing a diet rich in whole grains could extend your life. Regular-ly eating whole grains can help

to lower LDL (bad cholesterol), triglycerides and blood pressure. There also is a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and some cancers. The diets of more than 100,000 men whose health was followed for more than 20 years showed that those who consumed whole grains regularly (regularly was not defined) had a 9% lower death rate and a 15% lower death rate from heart disease. Whole grains contain fiber, magnesium, vitamins and antioxidants (phytochemicals in plants). One serving of whole grains a day such as one cup of ready-to-eat whole grain cereal, one-half cup of cooked brown rice or three cups of popcorn can lower the death rate by 5%. I suggest getting into the habit of eating whole grains daily to achieve good health and a longer life. Source: Harvard Health Letter, April 2015.

BETTER HEARING COMMITTEE From Diagnosis to School: How Babies with

Hearing Loss are Identified and Treated. Speakers: Dr. Carolyn Bennett and

Alison Hefferan Thurs., May 7 – Wm. Penn Room – 7:30 p.m. This program will focus on hearing prob-lems at the beginning of life. Babies with hearing loss can be identified and the different types of amplification that they may need can be deter-mined. The goal is to have them become suc-cessful communicators. Carolyn Bennett has a Doctorate in Audiol-ogy and is a Speech Language Pathologist. Ali-son Hefferan is a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing and is also a Speech-Language Pathologist. Both work at the Delaware County Intermediate Group serving children ages birth through 18 who are deaf or hard of hearing. They go to homes, daycares and schools providing speech therapy, audiological services and audito-ry verbal therapy helping students and their fami-lies learn about and adapt to hearing loss. Come and learn about a day in the life of a pediatric audiologist.

The Crosslands and Wherever Railroad Third in a Series

Now we will take a west-bound ride around the railroad and each

piece of equipment will be described as we come to it. Remember that in model railroading "west-bound" means clockwise. The operator assumes that he is facing north, so east is to his right and west to his left. In the southwest corner of the table, there is a coal tipple used to load coal cars that is operated by the Westmorland Coal Compa-ny. Westmorland was owned by members of the Beddall family. In the northwest corner, there is a railroad station and a small village contributed by Dan Coppes. The station and village are fictitious. The marl pit in Gloucester County, NJ was opened by Don MacFarland's great-great-grandfather. Starting in 1860 he became the first station agent for the West Jersey & Sea-shore Railroad, later part of the Pennsylvania Railroad. We are very proud of that little inde-pendent railroad operated by its own Power-Pack. The two locomotives go around in oppo-site directions. When one locomotive comes toward the front it automatically switches onto a siding, stops and waits for the other locomotive to pass before starting up again. The coal yard, St. Clair Coal Company, was owned by Bob May's family. Chuck Pogacar worked there for the Atlantic Refining Company (ARCO) and he contributed the stor-age tank and truck. On to the southeast corner of the table, the Quaker State Mushroom Company was owned and operated by Jay Swayne. The air-plane over the lake is similar to a real one owned by Hal Demoody, who was with the Ar-my Air Corps during World War II. Hal said he used the "iron map" (railroad lines) when flying his airplane. We have also heard about using IFR (I follow roads) not Instrument Flight Rules.

INTERFAITH DIALOGUE COMMITTEE

Fossil Fuel: Free, Sustainable and Responsible Investing

Interfaith Perspectives and Avenues Wed., May 13 - Wm. Penn Room - 4:00 p.m. Believing that we are called to live Earth Day every day, this program will look at how several faith groups are living their values through their investment decisions. This is a timely topic as a number of denominations are determining that their values call on them to di-vest from fossil fuel investments and commit to more community investing by supporting such efforts as affordable housing and micro-financing which supports small (often women-led) businesses in impoverished areas in the United States and overseas. The panelists will be: Will Bruno, an Episcopal lay person who

serves on the Episcopal Diocese of Wash-ington D.C. Sustainability Task Force. He is a financial advisor who helps people with their sustainable investments. Will’s mother lived at Crosslands for many years and died recently.

Jeff Perkins is the Executive Director of the Friends Fiduciary Corporation in Philadelph-ia. He also serves on the Board of Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility.

Char Gosselink, Crosslands resident and retired minister, will share information about the national United Church of Christ Synod’s recent actions relating to investments and climate change. Les Small, Crosslands resident repre-sentative to the Finance Committee of the Ken-dal/Crosslands Board, will speak about KCC’s Investment Policy as related to the environment. The Interfaith Dialogue Committee is pleased to have two program co-sponsors, the Crosslands Friends Worship Group and the Crosslands Investment Workshop. We urge you to attend this informative program. It will encourage each of us to think about how “earth caring” our personal invest-ment portfolios are.

TIMBER HARVESTING: SEEING THE FOREST AND THE TREES This is the first of two articles on woodlands’

management at Kendal Crosslands.

Looking into our woodland on a winter day we admire the graceful old icons framed by a stand of stalwart uprights, all similar in height and girth, that appear impervious to change. With all this near painterly perfection in nature, why is the selection of trees for routine harvesting universally mandated by foresters, landowners, environmentalists, local officials and others concerned with woodlands? Let’s take a walk for a closer look. This fragment of once wilderness is an orphaned woodlot left to fend for itself as population grew and land use was no longer handwork farming. Walking is easy in the summer forest. As frag-mentation increases, edge populations such as deer thrived eating native growth that they prefer. Few young plants and little or no native species remain—all eaten by deer. Invasive plants like mul-tiflora rose, Japanese honeysuckle, stilt grass or garlic mustard have few native plant barriers to bar their increase. Spaces between woods fragments are often too great for native plants that repro-duce vegetatively or for those that depend on ants to spread their seeds. As we walk, we begin to notice imperfections in many of those old trees: beech bark scarred by scale, tulip trees with desiccated leaves and broken branches. Most of the dogwoods have the common blight. The forester will mark them to be replaced with younger trees of varying ages and species for a healthier, less disease susceptible woodland. Without management, natural drainage systems change or are covered over. Soil becomes compacted or blown away. Non-native species dominate the tract. Native inhabitants—plants and animals, birds and insects—disappear. This can be the story of our own meadows or woodlands, once woodlots or pastures, then lying fallow or waiting to fall and decay. A longtime land use expert says: “Reestablishing ecological health (of our forests) will neces-sitate a reorientation of education and practice. Restoration must become a habit in our practices, a consistent and continual process occurring over the long term:” Ian McHarg, founder, Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Pennsylvania and author of Design with Nature. On the K~C campus, forest restoration work will begin in the Fall of 2015 with the planting of oaks, hickories and other eastern deciduous trees. Additional plantings will occur over the next few years with the replacement of unsuccessful plants and the introduction of new native trees and shrubs. Invasive plant control will begin post-harvest and continue for some years to come. The deer management program will continue for the foreseeable future.
