From the President/CEO Summer is a time to truly be thankful for our nation and our Arkansas home nestled right in the heart of America. Baseball season is at its height, and the kids are out of school and ready to play. Family and friends come together to celebrate America’s independence with fireworks, parades, barbeque and apple pie. The farmers’ market is bustling with vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s the perfect time to explore Arkansas’ scenic beauty through fishing, hiking, or by just taking a walk on one of Fayetteville’s many attractive trails.

As we celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s independence, I hope you’ll all take a moment to celebrate your own independence as well. At the Village, signs of summer are everywhere. The strawberries in the garden are plump and ready to be picked. Life at Butterfield provides so many opportunities to enhance your independence through personal growth and enriched well-being.

There are opportunities to travel, socialize, and enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation through a carefree lifestyle.

At this time of year, we’re mindful of our rich history as a nation and thankful that we can now celebrate our freedom through lives full of experience, continuous learning and fun. In this issue, we admire three of our residents who recently did just that by taking the Honor Flight: Jim Bales, Roy Plattner, and John Deusterman. Let’s follow their example and take hold of our freedom by making the most of this beautiful season.

May each of you have a blessed Summer.

A True Honor BTV residents take ‘Honor Flight’ to Washington, DC Motto of the Honor Flight Network: “We can’t all be heroes. Some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by.” –Will Rogers It was an early Saturday morning when Village residents Jim Bales, John Deusterman and Roy Plattner all boarded a chartered plane at XNA for a very special and long-awaited experience. These three men were invited to join 67 other veterans from Northwest Arkansas on an expense-paid, one-day trip on the Honor Flight to Washington DC to tour the World War II Memorial and other memorial sites.

4 BUTTERFIELD LIFE

JULY + AUGUST 2013

The first Honor Flight took place in May of 2005, leaving from Springfield, Ohio. Within months the increasing list of veterans signing up for the Honor Flight led to the formation of the Honor Flight Network that now reaches across the country — and there is no cost to the veteran.

The Northwest Arkansas Honor Flight is made possible through the generosity of the Walmart Foundation and Tyson Foods, Inc. The veterans also received complimentary caps and t-shirts.

According to honorflight.org, the Honor Flight Network is a nonprofit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices.

The organization transports veterans to Washington to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans — World War II

survivors — along with other veterans who may be terminally ill.

In talking with Jim and John (Roy was out of town) about their trip, Jim, a Navy veteran, had this to say: “The Arkansas Memorial, which was one of the new ones, was beautiful.

The World War II Memorial was outstanding and took up a whole city block. The whole experience was wonderful.”

John, who also served in the Navy, added, “It was a long and busy day but we had a wonderful time and are grateful that Tyson Foods and Walmart made it possible.”

August Anniversaries Jerry & Kay Brewer 3rd When did you move to Butterfield Trail Village?

May 15, 2013.

Where did you move from?

Most recently Siloam Springs, Ark., but before that I was in Illinois.

What did you do before retirement?

I was a high school German teacher, and an American Baptist preacher’s wife for 50 years.

How many children do you have?

I have three children. My oldest son is a retired master carpenter in Durango, Colo.; my daughter is an administrative assistant at the University of Illinois; and my other son is the CIO at John Brown University. I also have seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Why did you choose BTV? After researching quite a few places, I found Butterfield to be the best place in the area for independent living and transitional stages. I didn’t want my children to be faced with making life decisions for my care; I prefer to make those decisions. I also feel like, here at Butterfield Trail Village, I can be engaged in life.

Do you have any hobbies?

I love to cook and entertain, and I also enjoy reading and traveling.

What else would you like to share about living at Butterfield?

I have found it to be a friendly place. And I really appreciate the fact that we have resident ambassadors, who help with welcoming new residents.

Library News

Library News Two outstanding biographies are on the new bookshelves in the Butterfield Library. Leading the way is a biography of Winston Churchill, The Last Lion, by William Manchester and Paul Reid (who was chosen by Manchester to complete his book before his death in 2004). This is the last volume of Manchester’s trilogy and covers Churchill’s life beginning with his first term as Prime Minister through his death in 1965. It serves as a history of this time period as well as Churchill’s biography.

Sum It Up by Pat Summitt, women’s basketball coach for the University of Tennessee, is best described by its own subtitle: “1098 Victories, A Couple of Irrelevant Losses, and A Life in Perspective.” Pat Summitt is the all-time winningest coach in NCAA history, but this book is more than a straight memoir – it describes her remarkable resilience as she faces down her greatest challenge: early onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Another book to inspire readers is the novel Step of Faith, by Richard Paul Evans, which is the fourth book in his “Walk” series. The protagonist

Alan Christofferson loses everything — his wife, his business, his home and his health — but discovers the ultimate faith that life can be worth living as he walks through the South “just one step of faith after another.”

Flight Behavior is the newest work of award-winning author Barbara Kingsolver. It concerns a young mother and wife on a failing Tennessee farm in the Appalachian hills. Kingsolver works her magic as she combines religious leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists and politicians in a touching story of perseverance.

Other new books include…

Mysteries: Clive Cussler, The Striker; Jacqueline Winspear, Leaving Everything Most Loved; Stuart Woods, Unintended Consequences; James Patterson, Alex Cross, Run; Mary Higgins Clark, Daddy’s Gone Ahunting; David Baldacci, The Hit. Fiction: Ken Follett, The Fall of Giants; Nancy Dane, A Difference of Opinion; Alexander McCall Smith, Trains and Lovers; Robyn Carr, The Wanderer; Jodi Picoult, Wanderer; Chris Bohjalian, Sandcastle Girls.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Through the diligent efforts of BTV residents like Lloyd Seaton and Horticulture Director Missy Evans, that’s how…

Visually, the Village gardens add a wonderfully lush accent to the Butterfield Trail Village campus.

But more than that, the gardens are a source of homegrown produce, as well as a hobby for many of our residents.

Twenty-four people have garden plots in the upper and lower gardens. These residents take pride in raising a wide array of vegetables and flowers – everything from your standard fare to more exotic plants such as bok choy and rhubarb.

While providing food for their own table and plenty to share with their friends and neighbors, for the last 15 years the Village gardeners have also run a Farmers’ Market in the Butterfield lobby on Fridays beginning at 11am.

The money raised from this endeavor is donated to the BTV Foundation’s Benevolent Fund that supports certain needs such as new health beds.

AUGUST Saturday, August 17 Aloha Luau

5-7pm // Dining Room Aloha! You are cordially invited to experience the Village’s annual Hawaiian Luau. Traditional Hawaiian fare including smoked pork, plus music and flora of the islands, will complement a special dance performance by professional hula troupe Hula Halau O’Leilani.

Thursday, August 22 // Murder Mystery Dinner Theater: An Historical Evening of Entertainment

Village chefs make good use of the veggies, too, and the kitchen staff even helps garden and harvest the produce. Oftentimes the Village staff uses flowers from the gardens to brighten tables at events.

That’s the good news, but the even better news is that in a few months the gardens will be receiving an upgrade! Please note: Due to some upcoming construction, the gardens will also be moving – their new home being in the southeast area of the campus, down by the wooden fence, west of Old Missouri Road.

With all these new improvements, and the wonderful dedication of resident gardeners and Horticulture Director Missy Evans, there’s no doubt that next year the Village will be enjoying yet another bountiful harvest.

Use It or Lose It!

By Jennifer Neill, Fitness & Wellness Coordinator This month, we will be doing a two-part lecture series on balance. During these two sessions, attendees will learn everything they need to know about improving their balance. You will learn things like: how music can help you improve balance, how the safest place to practice balance is in the pool, how your eyes role in balance, how certain medications can help (or hinder) balance, and several other important things to help improve your balance today.

playing with kids) are slowly replaced with activities that involve a lot of sitting (like reading, watching TV, playing cards and going out to eat).

#1 Balance Tip: Have you heard the phrase “use it or lose it” in regards to health and fitness. It basically means that if you do not get enough physical exercise then your heart, bones and muscles will get weaker, and the more you exercise the stronger you will get.

Keep in mind: Movement requires balance, sitting does not. Any activity you do that requires movement will improve your balance! So, for this month, get out and move a little more then you have been! Because the more you use a muscle the stronger it gets, and the more you challenge balance the better it will get.

“Use it or lose it” also applies to balance. If you do not regularly put your body in situations where it needs balance, your sense of balance will get worse.

Have you noticed after retirement, or as you get older, that you move less? Take a minute and think about how much activity you get on a typical day compared to 20 years ago.

Generally, as we get older, activities that involve a lot of movement (like sports, yard work and

So, get ready for an exciting month of July and beyond!

The Celebration of Food

By Kay Gay, RD/LD

July fireworks are exciting and fun to watch. Eating meals, being the highlight of everyday living (for me anyway), should be at least as colorful, enjoyable and memorable as the festivities going on around them.

For a nice, light meal, add this side dish to a salad of any kind: Bruschetta for Two Ingredients: - 1/4 cup quartered cherry tomatoes - 2 Tbsp. shredded 2% mozzarella cheese - 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil - 2 tsp. parmesan cheese - 2 tsp. light zesty Italian dressing - 2 thin slices French bread (1/4 inch), toasted • Combine first five ingredients.

Butterfield Foundation Report

1923 EAST JOYCE BLVD., FAYETTEVILLE AR 72703 • (479) 695-8068 • foundation@btvillage.org

The Butterfield Trail Village Foundation is an active and vibrant part of the lives of Village residents. Its sole purpose is to enhance and support BTV residents. This year has been exceptionally active as they promote the Distinguished Speaker Series for the Village.

This is one way to reach out to our residents and enhance the involvement of the Foundation Board with the community.

The Foundation continues to raise funds for immediate use around the Village and for future projects. One area the BTV Wellness program is focusing on is the Balance Studio. As part of the new fitness building, the Balance Studio serves as a resource for residents looking to improve their stability and mobility. The studio currently houses one piece of equipment, a balance gym. The next piece of balance equipment is the Biodex Balance System SD. This machine tests balance, and then stores the information to track the user’s progress.

It is also a training component that can test what level the user is at, identify specific weaknesses in the user’s balance, and then train by using various exercises to improve specific needs of the user.

A second addition to the Wellness program would be the NuStep Recumbent Cross Trainer. This recumbent bike is the most widely used piece of fitness equipment in retirement communities across the country. The T5xr Recumbent Cross Trainer is a total body workout with a smooth and natural stepping motion.

Both of these pieces of equipment are excellent opportunities for residents and families to make honorariums, donations or memorials.

The Foundation continues to collect donations for the David Lashley Boardroom to be located in the future BTV Convocation Building.

Mr. Lashley was a founding board member of the Village and the acting Mr. & Mrs. Lashley treasurer for many years. He was a cornerstone in the community and is remembered fondly by many residents both in Fayetteville and Springdale. Recently Mrs. Lanell Lashley made a generous donation, as did the Genevieve Pennington Trust (Lisa Higgins, Trustee), for the Boardroom.

These projects will have a lasting effect on the future of residents and the Village. Please consider designating your future donations to one of these three worthy causes. Contact the Foundation office at (479) 695-8068.

Health Focused

Steve Larson, Director of Health Care Services Last March, Butterfield Trail Village welcomed Steve Larson as the new Director of Health Care Services. Steve, who hails from New Braunfels, Tex., and holds a master’s degree in Long-term Healthcare Administration, has spent the last 18 years working in the field of geriatric health care. His interest in working with the geriatric population stems from fond memories of spending time with his grandfather who lived in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC).

To this day, one of Larson’s favorite aspects of his job is the daily interaction with residents – listening to their stories and getting to know them better. “I want to make sure they all receive quality of care and quality of life,” he said.

Larson is forging ahead, setting near-term goals for the Health Care Center, Special Care Center and the Village’s new rehabilitation therapy services: 1.

Improve the Health Care Center’s rating.

This is based on three criteria: Health Inspection, Staffing and Quality. Though

By becoming a member of the Arkansas Alumni Association, you are not only investing in the U of A, but you are supporting programs that promote the University and helping students attend the U of A through scholarships. As a member, you will receive award-winning connections, including Arkansas magazine and

Butterfield’s HCC has been scoring above average with 4 out of the possible 5 stars, Steve’s aim is for a perfect 5.

2.

Enhance the rehabilitation services offered. Larson is well on his way to achieving this goal. As a collaborative partner, Genesis Rehabilitation is providing licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists, along with certified assistants. Butterfield has also renovated the therapy room in the Health Care Center and furnished it with state-of-the art equipment.

3.

Secure the license needed to offer outpatient rehab services. By the time this issue of Butterfield LIFE is published, Rehabilitation Services should have this license in hand – this means Butterfield’s rehab services will include independent living residents either at the center or at their home.

4.

Enhance the hospice services the Village provides. Larson aims to do this with an environment that respects the spouse and family’s needs as well as the loved one.

5.

Continued improvements to clinical competency overall. Including additional training for the nursing staff, thus assuring residents will continue to receive quality care.

Steve and his wife, Stephanie, have three children: two sons, Dillon, who is 18, and Grant, 16; and their daughter, Taylor, who is 14. The family is settling in nicely and enjoying Northwest Arkansas.
