Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.

Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.

Just walk beside me and be my friend.

The Secretary Minutes from last month was in newsletter. "March Minutes amended. The minutes incorrectly stated that Peggy Booker was in attendance. Another member reported on the painting party.

The committee then discussed whether a donation to the clubhouse should be required when a for-profit event is held. No action was taken.

Treasurer’s report: stated that the St. Patrick’s dinner was a good success! The meals on wheels group are getting more people to their dinners. We all are very glad about that. The Greeter has visited a new couple in Phase V. There are a few more new people now that spring has come.

The Purchasing /coffee person Peggy Booker has resigned her jobs. We are looking for another person to take over. As the Board we would like to thank Peggy for her hard work!

The Men’s Club is having a CLEAN-UP on April 30th. They have a list of things they

want to do around Phase V. There will be three breakfasts coming up at the clubhouse, May 14th, July 16th, and September 17th

Rentals are lower than last year so far. We are hoping to get more in the future.

The Medical Closet is doing great. Calls for donations coming in and calls of people that need supplies are still coming. We hope that we are helping people having this closet.

We REALLY want to THANK the Needlework’s Committee that is covering the clubhouse chairs. They are saving us a lot of money not having to buy new chairs.

We have a Fashion Show on June 15th. This is for everyone to come to at the clubhouse and enjoy that day!

AFTERNOON READING ADVENTURES Reviews by Jessica Hesselgrave of Salem South Lyon Library

The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson East Sussex, 1914. At the end of England’s Edwardian summer, the weather is beautiful, and all seems perfect. Hugh Grange, down from his medical studies, is visiting his Aunt Agatha and her husband – who works for the Foreign Office – in the coastal town of Rye. There’s a small skirmish happening over the Balkans – but Agatha is sure it will come to nothing. When Agatha helps bring Beatrice Nash - an attractive Latin master - to town, her free-thinking causes a stir. But when war comes calling, Rye’s inhabitants prepare for the worst, and the perfect summer comes to an end.

Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story* by David Maraniss Detroit, 1963. The time was full of promise. The auto industry was selling more cars than ever before. Motown was capturing the attention of the world. The progressive labor movement was rooted in Detroit with the UAW. Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech there two months before the Washington march. Once in a Great City shows that the shadows of collapse were evident even then. Join David Maraniss and the Salem-South Lyon District Library for a book talk on Sunday, June 5th at Lyon Theater at 2:00pm. Call 248-437-6431 for details. *2016 Michigan Notable Book.

A Purple Rose By Any Other Name By Bill Semion

Chelsea’s a quirky little community. Located southwest of Phase V, it’s got a great downtown, great restaurants, and for the last 25 years, has been home of nationally recognized live theater, the Purple Rose. The town, and The Rose, are definitely worth the 21-mile drive.

That theater is the realized dream of Chelsea resident Jeff Daniels, who eschews the Hollywood lights for the hominess of his hometown. He took a building that formerly was a car and truck garage owned by his grandfather, and proved so popular that it underwent an expansion in 2002, yet retained its intimacy with the audience. Each of its 168 seats are only as far as 20 feet from the stage. It’s been the site of lots of play premiers, including those written by Daniels.

Its current playbill runs now through September. Right now, through May 28, take in Matt Letscher’s Gaps in the Fossil Record.” On June 16, it’s Paul Osborn’s gentle comedy Mornings at Seven, through Sept. 3.

Before you go, walk the few blocks for pre-performance dinner at The Common Grill. Daniels convinced owner Craig Common to open the restaurant along Chelsea’s main drag also 25 years ago. Often, restaurants come and go, and this one has withstood the test of

time and restaurant critics, yours truly included, as one of the best spots for lunch, Sunday brunch, or dinner, in the region.

Or, head for another spot like the Chelsea Alehouse Brewery, serving sandwiches, ciders and house-brewed beers.

Come here with time enough to do the Sculpture Walk downtown, where you’ll see a dozen three-dimensional pieces. Pick up a map at the River Gallery downtown and look for the “S” that marks each one.

Like Jiffy-brand mixes for your baking? They’re all made here at Jiffy Milling. Schedule a 90-minute tour by calling 734-475-1361.

Get a group of your Phase V friends together to go to The Rose. Ticket prices range from $20 to $43. For more on the Purple Rose, go to www.purplerosetheatre.org, or call the box office. Call ahead, as the Purple Rose is extremely popular, and with limited seating, sells out very quickly. And, if you know any aspiring actors, tell them the Purple Rose also offers apprenticeships.

For more to do in and around Chelsea, go to www.cheleamich.com.

But, most of all, get out and enjoy yourselves. Celebrate YOU. This is YOUR time.

Bring Wildlife into Your Home! By Denise Semion

My cat loves watching chipmunks, cardinals, chickadees and even a bald eagle, all from the comfort of her favorite chair in our living room.

We don’t have all these critters living with us, but we almost do. She watches a menagerie of wildlife videos on YouTube. Just go to youtube.com and search “birds for cats to watch” and a variety of videos will come up. (You can search for videos for dogs to watch, too.) It only took a minute for me to get her attention to watch her first video, and now she is hooked. Of course, she wants to touch the birds, so to avoid her scratching my computer screen I pull up “her” videos on my iPad. She watches intently, sometimes for as long as a half hour.

You, however, might want to watch a nesting pair of eagles from a live camera in northern Michigan. A partnership between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Carbon Media Group now allows the public a rare chance to watch, for free, a pair of nesting bald eagles currently in residence at the Platte River State Fish Hatchery near the Benzie County town of Beulah.

The CarbonTV Eagle Cam live streams 24/7 from carbontv.com/cams/carbontv-eagle-cam and the site also features taped clips of the eagles engaging in various activities, including eating a rabbit, building and clearing their nest,

and being visited by great horned owls.

The pair laid an egg mid-March, and was expected to hatch around April 16. You can watch the majestic creatures in their native habitat as they rear their eaglet throughout the summer.

Once an endangered species, the bald eagle has been the U.S. national emblem since 1782. Please note, the eagle cam is streamed most easily via Google Chrome. A download speed of at least 5 mpbs is recommended for optimum viewing.

And if you venture outdoors to watch wildlife, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources reminds anyone who finds wildlife raising its young to view the animals from a distance, so they are not disturbed.

It is important to remember that many species of wildlife “cache” (hide) their young for safety. These babies are not abandoned; their mother has hidden them until she returns. The DNR cautions that many baby animals will die if removed from their natural environment, and some have diseases or parasites that can be passed on to humans or pets. Only licensed wildlife rehabilitators may possess abandoned or injured wildlife. A list of licensed rehabilitators can be found by visiting mi.gov/wildlife or by calling your local DNR office.

Exercise Essentials for Healthy Aging An Excerpt from Everyday Health

• By Diana Rodriguez | Medically reviewed by Pat F. Bass III, MD, MPH

Aging is no excuse to give up exercise. Senior health means staying active — it can only improve the way you feel.

Getting older should be about relaxing and taking it easy, right? Not exactly. Exercise is a necessary part of healthy aging. You will benefit from just about any type of exercise as you age, as long as you're not at risk of injury. Low-impact exercises are often the best choice, especially when coupled with weight-bearing exercises. Here are some options to keep you fit, flexible, and feeling energized. Choose at least one exercise from each group: Cardiovascular exercise. Cardio gets the heart pumping and blood flowing, and may leave you a little sweaty and breathless. Good cardio exercises to try are:

• Swimming • Walking or light jogging • Water aerobics or other water classes or

exercise • Biking • Hiking • Tennis • Golf (minus the carts)

Balance training. Keeping muscles stretched, flexible, and limber will help you feel better, and working on balance can prevent falls. Strengthen balance and flexibility with:

• Pilates • Frequent stretching • Yoga • Tai chi

Strength training. You don't need to become a bodybuilder, but strengthening muscles can make everyday chores and activities easier, plus it helps your bones. Boost muscle strength using:

• Elastic resistance bands • Light free weights or dumbbells • Weight machines • Using pieces of furniture or walls at

home for resistance How Exercise Helps Overall Exercise keeps you moving, healthy, and feeling energized. But staying active also benefits your mind, spirit, and body by:

• Keeping you independent and able to take care of yourself at home

• Helping you stay strong and fit so you can play with grandchildren

• Helping you sleep better • Preventing weight gain and contributing

to the loss of extra pounds • Reducing the risk of falls and broken

bones • Improving your self-confidence and

feelings of happiness and self-worth • Lowering your risk of serious illnesses

like heart disease and diabetes • Keeping your brain and memory

functioning well

HISTORY IN YOUR BACKYARD August WestPhal Farmstead-6530 Brighton Rd U.S. National Register of Historic Places

Built in 1875, the farmhouse is a vernacular, Italianate, two-story structure set on a fieldstone foundation with two, one-story extensions. Of balloon-frame construction, the house is clad in shiplap or novelty siding. The main section is topped with a belvedere. The exterior displays fanciful, sawn-wood ornamentation on the belvedere, bay window, porches, and window hoods. The ogee-arched wooden front porch shelters an unusual entrance consisting of two separate, side-by-side, arched and paneled doors. The interior of the house is unusually ornate for a country farmhouse and includes wide plaster cornice moldings and ceiling medallions in the parlor and living room.

Farmstead is significant as an intact nineteenth-century farmstead that includes a variety of farm buildings and the Italianate farmhouse. It is also historically significant for its associations with the early German community of Genoa Township. August Westphal, an immigrant from Germany, purchased the first eighty acres of the farm in 1853. After his marriage in 1855 to Barbara Ernsbery, he and his wife moved to the farm and constructed a small frame house. In 1868, the first large basement barn was built on the property which then consisted of one hundred twenty acres. In 1875 the Westphals had their Italianate farmhouse built. Christopher Blackburn served as the builder on the house. The property contains a large farmhouse, two basement barns, a corn crib, wagon shed, chicken coop, smokehouse, privy, and a water-shed.
