Meadowlark Hills Messenger

Lonnie puckers up!

By Becky Fitzgerald Helga, the six-week old baby hog, had a lot to say when Tracy Musselman pulled her from her cage at HOGtoberfest on Oct. 29. During the finale of the HOG & Kisses Contest, Helga’s squeals and grunts grew louder with each candidate I introduced, hogging the spotlight with her oinking and pretty, pink nose. I was reminded of a country song called “Shut Up and Kiss Me”! If Helga could talk, would those have been her words? Fortunately, Helga’s cuddle with the contest winner came quickly. Shortly after 6 p.m., I was thrilled to announce to the anxiously awaiting crowd gathered outside Cox Bros BBQ that Meadowlark Hills CEO Lonnie Baker was the top vote-getter in the 2nd annual contest, as his candidacy raised more than $1000. Lonnie gathered Helga into his arms, and within seconds, she was quiet and appeared content, seeming to enjoy his smooches on the top of her long nose. The contest, featuring four other candidates – Lori Bishop, Bud Cox, Vern Henricks and Kevin Lull – is a component of HOGtoberfest. All monies raised from the contest and other avenues, such as T-shirt and raffle ticket sales, benefit Meadowlark Hills Foundation’s Good Samaritan Fund. This fund supports residents in Meadowlark Hills healthcare households who have exhausted their financial resources. This year’s event netted more than $4300 for the fund, and in-kind donations totaled an additional $2500. Improvements on last year’s numbers were realized in several categories, including the number of T-shirts sold, the value of the in-kind donations and the size of the contribution from Cox Bros. BBQ. Bud and Bobby Cox had pledged to donate 10% of the day’s proceeds to the fund, and the amount of the donation grew by $100 this year, meaning HOGtoberfest sales increased $1000. It’s HOGtastic that so many hungry folks came to the party!

Two of our prize winners have Meadowlark Hills ties. Sara Snell, Health Information Management leader, won the Louisiana pellet grill package, and Larry Grabinsky, husband of Sloan House LPN Shari Garten, won the K-State Football Experience. A Cox Bros. BBQ patron, Daniel Korp of Milford, won the barbecue meal for 10.

Many share the praise for the success of this event. I sincerely appreciate those of you who made a Cox Bros. purchase, voted for one of the candidates and/or purchased a T-shirt or raffle tickets. Thank you to the aforementioned kissing candidates, who raised awareness for the Good Samaritan Fund as well as dollars, and our event sponsors: Cox Bros. BBQ, McCullough Development, Q Country 103.5 and Flint Hills Beverage. I’d like to acknowledge staff members Sarah Duggan, Will Gold, Michelle Haub, Magye Loya, Rhonda Lund, Tracy Musselman, Chris Nelson, and the Hospitality team. Sarah and Magye helped with event publicity; Will served as the event photographer;

Michelle and Rhonda greeted Cox Bros. patrons and sold raffle tickets; Chris Nelson counted the kissers’

votes and returned Helga to her farm after the contest, and Tracy helped me plan and execute the event as well as served as “hog wrangler”. The concierges kept track of Lonnie’s jar at the Hospitality Desk and sold raffle tickets. In addition, resident Pam Oehme watched Helga before she was called to duty. Speaking of Helga, she was loaned to us from Doug and Clara Ebert Farm of St. George. Thanks, again, to the many who ensured that HOGtoberfest was a successful FOOD, FRIENDS and FUNdraising event!

Partner’s in Parkinson’s Submitted by Don & Bea Rasmussen Participants in the Meadowlark Hills Parkinson’s Program accompanied Parkinson’s Program Leader, Michelle Haub, to St. Louis to attend “Partner’s in Parkinson’s” in association with Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Michelle participated on a panel addressing 600 attendees. Manhattan area attendees commented that they particularly appreciated the way in which the seminar addressed explaining the status of research and living with the disease in terms that with those with Parkinson’s could understand and apply. Our local Parkinson’s Program is becoming widely known and recognized. Amazing research is being done and they said before the next 30 years there would be a cure—since it has been around since the 1700’s, 30 years does not seem that long.

For several years, Meadowlark Hills staff members have designed and decorated a tree for the Festival, and this year's committee is again hard at work, creating hand-made ornaments. The Meadowlark Hills tree theme is "In the Key of Christmas," featuring ornaments that will prompt thoughts of beloved Christmas carols and secular tunes.

There is a $55 fee that includes transportation, admissions and lunch. Outdoors Encounters Submitted by Don Rasmussen As water temperatures drop in Bayer Pond, fish become less active and eat less. That is not to say that fishing is over, only that you will need to use enticing baits or lures and place them where the fish are (concentrated in deeper water). When we reach freezing atmospheric temperatures we can no longer operate the worm farm. Also, as advised by the marine biologist we will discontinue feeding the fish in early November and resume in early March. Continue to fish, using the prepared catfish bait stored in the east shelter or live baits purchased at Derick’s on Highway 24; just south of the dam, or at the gas station on

the SW corner of the Kimball-Tuttle Creek intersection. Deep running lures may also be successful. Your skills are being tested!! Good luck… Flint Hills Children Choir Performance The Flint Hills Children Choir will be performing three to four songs featuring two different soloists. The twenty-five member group will be highlighting their songs at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, in the Community Room.

Take advantage of the complimentary transportation to local shopping centers. Transportation goes to the following locations: Walmart and Dillons. The next trip departs at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, from the Village Entrance. Please sign up in the Blue Book to register for transportation.

Kristen works with the house teams to coordinate the move-in process for residents and guests. As a sales team member, Kristen helps individuals and their families make decision regarding their living experience and relationship with Meadowlark Hills.
