SUPPORT GROUP MEETING FOR CAREGIVERS, FAMILIES, AND ANYONE

LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER’S AND DEMENTIAS

TIME: 1:00pm to 3:00pmThird Thursday of the Month

At The Ceramics Room in the Club House

If you are caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or a related Dementia, you are invited to join our support group. Here in a friendly supportive environment you can participate in discussions geared toward the needs and interests of individuals who are caregivers, family members, or friends of someone with dementias. It is a chance to learn more about dementias and what to expect along the way.

Those with the dementia are also welcome if they are able to sit in the discussions and benefit from the group. They do not have to enter the discussions if they are not comfortable or able to do so.

Our support group is an opportunity to learn from and share with others who are experiencing the same situations in their interactions with someone with dementia. A support group helps individuals understand that they are not alone in their situation and that others do understand and can often offer suggestions that may help. And it is comforting to know someone will listen and understand.

For more information please call the facilitator ARLENE ALBERT at 815-744-6770.

Words to Move YouWe have a place, all of us, in this story;

a story we continue, but whose end we willnot see. It is the story of a new world that became

a friend and liberator of the old, the story of asociety that became a servant of freedom, the

story of a power that went into the world to protectbut not conquer. It is the American story—

a story of flawed and fallible people, united acrossthe generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfoldingAmerican principle that everyone belongs,That everyone deserves a chance, that no

insignificant person was ever born.

Carillon VFW Post 12059 will be holding a ceremony at Essington Place Retirement Village for all residents who are Vietnam Era War Veterans commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War.

Carillon VFW Post 12059 made one trip to The Illinois State Veterans Home in Manteno, Illinois this past month with the donations from the Carillon Community. As always they were excited about what was brought to the veterans who reside in the home. Without exception they were very happy with the donations from our community and send their love and thanks for your thoughtful generosity.

Carillon VFW Post 12059 wishes to introduce to the community four new members of our post who recently moved into Carillon. Paul Chase of Carlisle, Debbie Leinweber of Applegate, Stanley Richard Williams of Dover, and Andrew Rivers of Canterbury all have recently become members of our post.

If a spouse, roommate etc. shares a car with you, and has a Parking Permit, but that person is not in the car when you come to park, please be considerate of others. Please take the permit out of the window and DO NOT park in a Handicap designated parking place.

Remember that we have “Super Seniors” and disabled persons who really depend on the closest parking spots in the lot.

CRAFTY CRAFTERSI am the American Flag. I have earned the right to be heard. I will speak from the wisdom of life. Look at my face. I have known over 40 presidents. I have traveled far. I have lived long and seen much. I have paid the price for my freedom of speech. I have wrapped my arms around those who have died for me. I am proud of my country, preserve my dignity; you have the freedom to choose. Old Glory they called me, and I am the American Flag, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Happy 4th of July.

We’ve been busy, busy at Crafty Crafters. We donated over 50 baby items to the Carillon Women’s Club for their annual baby shower. 10 lap robes and 70 baby hats went to Presence St. Joseph Hospital. And, sadly, we presented 5 prayer shawls to widows in Carillon. And, we have a closet full of hats, scarves and afghans to be gathered and donated to nursing homes and charities.

Thanks to the nice lady in Cambridge who donated hats, slippers, afghans and yarn. Sorry, I didn’t get your name. Also, thanks to Norma Reed of Canterbury East who donated yarn, needles and books.

We meet every Wednesday in Club Room 2 from 12:30 to 3:00. If you are a knitter or crocheter, come join us. We will be glad to see you.

TEE TIMERSWe are the Ladies Tuesday morning, 9-hole, no handicap golf league. League play was to start May 2, but the weather gave us some competition with cold, wind and rain…it seems to be cooperating now.

We would love to have more golfers…if you would like to join us, please call president Connie Teckenbrock, 630-297-1813.

Have a great day!Norma Thompson

THE NEEDLEWORKERSThe Needleworkers meet on Tuesdays from 1:00-3:30 in Club Room 3. Anything you wish to create with a needle, the group does: knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching, needlepoint, sewing, some quilting, etc: Some have joined our group just to socialize, get interested in a craft and now have busy hands also.

The first Tuesday of the month finds the Needleworkers enjoying lunch at different local restaurants before meeting at the clubhouse.

If you are moving or no longer doing needlework and need to dispose of your “stash”, there are several groups that can find homes for your items, putting them to very good use. You can bring them to Room 3, (the Library) on Tuesdays, from 1:00-3:30.

If you are interested in working on any project that uses a needle, come join the group. Members have knowledge of many crafts and even though they do not teach, they will gladly try to help with any stitching problems. For information please call Sandie Denklau 372-0558 or Phyllis Taylor, 886-4789.

WOODSHOPThe machines in the woodshop are very busy during the morning hours by the men in our community. They are working on many items for themselves, making items to sell at Carillon’s craft fair in October, and doing repairs for the residents. If you have an item that needs some TLC, please bring it to the Woodshop during the morning hours to see if it can be repaired by the men. And men—if you enjoy woodshop and would like to share your expertise on Wednesday afternoons for 3 hours, the women’s group need additional instructors or helpers.

April 2017, the women’s woodshop group celebrated 12 years in existence. We have made many items for ourselves and for the craft fairs. If you are interested in joining our group, please call Sandie Denklau, 815-372-0558, or Sara Pittman, 815-372-0596. You don’t need any experience, just a desire to create something in wood with your hands. Our instructors are very helpful and anxious to share their expertise.

At the current time, there is a waiting list as we are in need of a couple more men or women instructors/helpers/monitors before we can add more members. Many women have been on the waiting list since May 2016 and are anxious to begin working in the woodshop. Won’t you please consider giving 3 hours of your time and talent each week so these women can experience the same joy you feel as you saw, scroll, sand, and then admire your finished wood pieces? Please call Jerry Pittman, 815-372-0596 or come to the woodshop Wednesday afternoons to see if this is something you would like to do.

Just a reminder: There are wood items in the hallway glass case by the Woodshop for purchase. Handmade items always make wonderful birthday, anniversary, and thinking of you gifts.

ASHFORDOnce again it’s time to put together the Ashford TOTT article so I ponder what information or news to write about this time. Certainly we have the good old standbys- birthdays, men’s and women’s breakfasts, and the holiday’s for the month. June was full of Carillon activities; the start of our team games, opening the pools, and a whole bunch of activity for the Weber Road Construction project.

Here it comes-- the 4th of July! The time to celebrate our independence as a sovereign nation. A time for picnics, parades, fireworks, and fun. I hope it’s a great day for all of our Ashford residents!

As I have solicited our Ashford residents for news items, I thought a bit that maybe I too should contribute a few of my own occasionally just as I have requested from you. Getting involved in Carillon is a good thing for us as a community. I’ve been busy doing that myself. I’m now the Chairperson for the Marketing Committee, the Chairperson for the New Comers Committee, a member of the Carillon Weber Road Safety Committee, the alternate for the Ashford Security Committee. I design the custom templates for the Carillon email broadcasts, post the Ashford HOA and Board meeting minutes, write our TOTT article each month, and contribute and assist on design work for the Carillon web site. I also spend my Thursdays doing volunteer work at Silver Cross Hospital. Don’t take this as I’m bragging or complaining, not in the least, it just keeps me busy, no pay, volunteer work! Maybe I’m crazy! (What can I say, I needed something to write about, I need to get this to 500 words!)

Happy Ashford Birthdays! Catherine Thomas 7-8, Karen Daehn 7-11, Helen Moran 7-14, Phyllis Adelmann 7-15, Michael Moran 7-19, Jeanne Zabelny 7-23, Michael Kennedy 7-23, Lydia Brown 7-24, Richard Thomas 7-27, Ginny Rossi 7-28, Theresa Bailey 7-30. I missed two birthdays last month for new neighbors that both had June birthdays – Happy belated birthday wishes to Mark & Karen Garbe!

Ashford Women’s Breakfast – July 26th- Blueberry Hill, Plainfield at 10AM. RSVP no later than the previous Monday to Carol Walsh (815) 372-1474 or Sharon Postil (815) 372-2109. Let them know if you need a ride!

Ashford Men’s Breakfast -- The Ashford men are going to meet for breakfast every month on the third Thursday of the month at 10AM. We will meet from January through October due to the Holidays in November and December. Look for details that will be included as a TOTT insert page.

As many of you know, our Ashford neighbor Marge Strauel fractured her femur on March 31st and had to go through a very difficult recovery. I’m very happy to report Marge is recovering and was able to participate in an Alaska vacation which started on June 8 with her family. Marge wanted me to send a big “Thank You” to all of her Ashford neighbors who made phone calls, visited, sent food, and showed her much care, well wishes, and support. I think we’ll all be anxious to hear more about Marge’s Alaska exploration!Send me your news items for TOTT- I just did mine!

dissipate heat: Medications, like diuretics, that cause water loss and worsen the dehydrating effect of high temperatures. Elderly suffering from Dementia or Diabetes may not even be aware of being thirsty or feeling too hot.

BERKSHIREIt’s time to celebrate our country’s independence, July 4th. Let’s all try to display our flag for this very important day! HAPPY 4TH!

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Tom & Jeanne Kelsh had visitors in June, Tom’s two sisters from Colorado. This family really tries to get together every year, either Illinois or Colorado. One of Tom’s sisters is a golfer so I’m sure they did play a game or two.

If you noticed in May some people gathering around our Berkshire monument, it was Tony & Brenda Bannon and Tom & Jeanne Kelsh. Our flag pole was leaning into the trees. Tony & Brenda donated a flag pole and Tony & Tom installed the new one. Thank you Tony & Brenda for the donation of the flag pole and Tony & Tom with the installation.

Oops, I forgot to tell everyone that Ginny Joritz had celebrated her 91st birthday June 1st. We wish Ginny a very happy but belated birthday. Also, Ginny is staying at Senior Star on Weber.

Happy Independence Day. The Declaration of Independence was principally authored by Thomas Jefferson and then approved by the Continental Congress. It wasn’t signed by all the delegates until August 2, 1776, and wasn’t ratified by all of the states until March 1, 1781. Happy birthday America! 

In the Dog HouseQ. What should I do to help my dog handle the noise of the 4th of July?A. The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends:

• Make sure your pet has identification tags with up-to-date information.

• Consider getting your pet microchipped. Make sure the information is up-to-date.

• Take a current photo of your pet.• Make sure your environment is safe and secure.• Leave your pets inside and at home. Loud fireworks in

unfamiliar places can be frightening.• Consider putting your pet in a safe-escape-proof room or

crate.• Check your yard for fireworks debris before allowing your

pet outside.• And NEVER leave your pet in your car. 

We want to celebrate with you. Please share your news! Submit your information by the 5th of the month. Call, text, email, or drop off at 13743 S Hickory. Thank you, Mary Woods (630) 310-4163, wowmom2@gmail.com.

Mary O’Dekirk is feeling very proud and blessed. Over Memorial Day weekend she attended her Granddaughter Carly’s graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point with her family. Carly is now a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and will attend Walter Reed Medical School in the Fall. Mary’s Grandson Tim, also graduated from St. Mary’s High school in St. Louis with a full scholarship to St. Mary’s University in San Antonio TX.

Good News to report! Our former HOA President Rudy Jezek is recuperating very nicely after his long health scare. He is walking and eating normally and with his daughter along even driving in the neighborhood a little as he put it, “mostly to Doctor appointments.” We are grateful Rudy is doing so well!

It was nice to see the stones and flags commemorating each branch of the United States Armed Forces, at the front gates for Memorial Day and now for Independence Day. Thanks to our new Beautification Committee, Larry & Diane Hageman, Bob & Sue Irvine, Janis Wright & Gayle Ramser. Wonderful job!

E-MAILSI am still trying to start an emergency e-mail list for those in Chelsea. I won’t share your e-mail address without your permission. I would use it to send out emergency announcements in-between the TOTT issues. Say – someone passes away, I can send out an e-mail with the info and the info for the services. That way, most things are timely – and not delayed. So, please drop me a line. I know I have a few of you already, just need to get the rest of you!!!

ANNIVERSARIES/ANY OTHER NEWSI am looking for Wedding Anniversaries to put in the TOTT. I know that a few of you will be celebrating big milestones this year. So, please send your info, and any other news you’d like to see in the TOTT.

Have a wonderful month and God bless.Cathy Mueller

Our deepest sympathy and prayers go to the families of Pat Nolan, Mary Burke and Carolee Michalek on their passing. They will all be missed by their friends here in Darlington.

Old Man & Wife at doctors:After his exam the doctor asked the elderly man: “You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?” “In fact, I do,” said the old man. “After I have sex with my wife, I am usually cold and chilly, and then, after I have sex with her the second time, I am usually hot and sweaty.”

Later, after examining the man’s elderly wife, the doctor said: “Everything appears to be fine. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?” She replied that she had no questions or concerns.

The doctor then said to her: “Your husband had an unusual concern. He claims that he is usually cold & chilly after having sex with you the first time & then hot & sweaty after the second time. Do you know why?”

“Oh that crazy old fart,” she replied. “That’s because the first time is usually in January and the second time is in August.”

And anniversary congratulations to: Vic and Sandee Bialczak 7/8

The May ladies luncheon was held on May 23rd at Raymes restaurant in Lisle. It was hosted by Norma Kelps and Barb Rabig. Twenty-nine women enjoyed a nice variety of food and as usual, great conversation. Unfortunately, on the day of the luncheon Barb became ill and could not attend. Linda Brif stepped in to give Norma a helping hand. Barb is fine now (just a 24 hour something). There were a few other women who could not attend due to illness. But, nothing serious. Many thanks to Norma, Barb and Linda. Well done!

Our next luncheon will be held on July 25th and will be hosted by Caroline Fontana and Gloria Walsh. Mark your calendars. As usual a flyer with all the information will be distributed before the event. And don’t forget the Summer Party, August 4th, information to follow.

Happy Days!!Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena was the setting for the fabulous wedding of Jack and Nance Nagy’s oldest grandson, Paul. Of the 36 people in their immediate family, 33 were there so it was doubly wonderful. Over 200 guests were in attendance and the Nagy’s are glad the bill didn’t fall on them!! Remember the day when you paid under $2.00 for a family style dinner? Gone forever!

And Carol Davis has spent the better part of these last months preparing for various family celebrations. Granddaughter Abby married in Grand Rapids, Michigan on March 25th. Grandson Keegan from Texas graduated Texas A & M Magna Cum Lauda. One trip down South. And weeks later Grandson Ryder, also a Texan, graduated as the Valedictorian of his High School. Trip #2 for a proud Grandmother. Three cheers for the Davis clan.

Our Ladies Breakfast arranger, Caroline Fontana, was surprised with a birthday candle pancake at the last breakfast. Remember that is the second Friday of each month at the Breakfast Club. Call Caroline if you are a new “breakfaster”. Huh?? Mens breakfast at Larry’s also the second Friday with no advance notice necessary. Just show up.

Recently one of our neighbors encouraged me to try the Yoga class at the clubhouse every Tuesday at 9:00 and/or Thursday evening at 6:00. Both floor and chair Yoga instruction. The routine helps with balance and general movement. I enjoyed the class and even with a chair felt like I loosened up a bit and intend to continue (maybe even improve). Hopefully some day lose the chair! Come try and see if it helps you.
