STORY
The official date for Earth Day is April 22, 2009, but
any more, every day is Earth Day at John Knox Village.
Thats because the Village is doing is its part to become
more environmentally responsible.
In recent months Village associates have been working
to convert JKV into a more sustainable organization. What
does that mean? Sustainability is attempting to meet the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs, according to
the World Commission on Environment and Development.
At the Village, that means conducting careful research,
implementing conscientious programs, and choosing
materials and tools that will minimize our impact on the
environment all while being financially responsible.
In addition to its plans to unveil an even more compre-
hensive recycling program, (watch for details in an upcom-
ing issue of the Village Voice), recent projects and renova-
tions have been completed with an eye on the environ-
ment and the bottom line. The following list contains only
a few examples of JKVs efforts.
The installation of motion sensors and energy-

efficient light bulbs in the common areas saves energy.
Partnering with KCP&L to install state-of-the-art thermo-

stats in 500 cottages and free-standing homes.
The addition of natural stone blocks along the creek that

cuts through campus hinders bank erosion.
Converting the chlorinated pool at Villager Inn to a salt-

water pool eliminates the need for chemicals to keep the
water clean and algae free.
During last years re-roofing project, efficiencies were

included such as additional venting that will make these
roofs last longer and reduce heating and air conditioning
expenses.
Holding recycling days for office supplies, equipment

and furniture one departments trash became ones treas-
ure, which in turn saves money and space in the landfill.
Using the Auxiliary Thrift Shop to resell items that are

still useable but might otherwise end up in a landfill.
Reducing the number of miles driven by the JKV vehicle

fleet.
Purchasing a heat sensing gun to use to find areas with

poor insulation and highlight power panel that may have
loose breakers, which wastes energy and is dangerous.

Every Day is
Earth Day at JKV

Its never too late
to start helping
The Village has a long history of being a good
steward of the environment. Several years ago it
initiated a recycling program for newspapers, tin
cans, aluminum and card board so that residents and
associates alike could more easily reduce, reuse,
recycle. And in upcoming months, this will become
much easier, and there is hope that more residents
and associates will contribute. But in the meantime,
there already is quite a bit of participation. Many JKV
departments recycle paper. Both residents and asso-
ciates are urged to recycle old resident handbooks
and directories without the spiral binding, which
cant be recycled. These efforts definitely are
admirable, and they are the right thing to do for the
environment. But can we do more?
Yes, we can.
Turn out the lights when you leave the room.
Take your old papers to the recycling bins. Turn your
heat down a couple of degrees. Its no never too late
to start doing things that will help the environment.
Every little bit helps to:
Save natural resources
Save energy
Save clean air and water
Save landfill space
Save money and create jobs

Out and about
Wanting to experience something like they had never
experienced before, Ron and Jan Kean attended the 38
Special rock concert presented by the Lees Summit
Landmark Entertainment Series at The Pavilion. Their rea-
sons to do so were threefold: to support the Village, to
enjoy a new experience and to keep learning and growing.
Although there were seats, they stood for one and one half
hours clapping and dancing to music that was not too
loud. They thought the experience was awesome. The
Keans said they encourage residents to invite children and
grandchildren to enjoy the future concerts (Such as the
Duttons from Branson, MO, who will perform April 30.)
Wanda Chinnery bought tickets to 38 Special for her fami-
ly, and they thought it was so much fun. Jan Sheridan
attended, and said she thought it was great.
The Vaudeville Vanities II entertained residents on a
Tuesday afternoon and at a dinner theater Wednesday
night last month. Fun and a lot of hard work are put into
these presentations, and we applaud the cast and espe-
cially, Mert Peterson.
Nearly 140 residents attended the Foundations
Ambassador Spring Tea. The annual tea has been happen-
ing since 1995 and it is just another delightful event here at
JKV. It is aptly named, as spring is just around the corner.
Quick response
=
secure residents
When US Airways Flight 1549 landed in the Hudson
River in January, rescue boats were there within minutes.
This reminds Snoopy of our security staff here at John
Knox Village. Whether it is burnt toast, a dead car battery,
getting locked out of our apartment or building, or some-
thing more serious, members of our security team are
there to help in minutes. This quick response is as impor-
tant to the residents as the rescue boats were to the
passengers of Flight 1549, and the residents are grateful.
The people who make us feel secure are: Ben Bailey,
Jarret Blanton, Bryan Ferguson, Jeremy Grimmett,
Andrew Hilton, Aaron Hunsley, Ryan Koehler, Ryan Miller,
Brandie Price, Scott Ray, Jeff Reynolds, Virak Um and
Damian Wilson. We thank you!
Sharpening knives, scissors, pencils and more
Snooping around the Village, I found many amenities
that some may not know about. Did you know you can
get your knives and scissors sharpened at the Hobby
Hut? (A small donation is appreciated.) Did you know

Vice President of Finance Jim Franklin bowls weekly
with his son and son-in-law, and he likes to play golf
though, he admits, hes not very good at it except on that
great day when he made a hole-in-one at St. Andrews
Golf Club in Overland Park, KS.
James Howard Franklin was born in 1943 in a compa-
ny house in a company town with a company store (His
father was in the textile business.) in Spartanburg, SC.
After spending a year at the local junior college, Jim
joined the Air Force, which brought him to Kansas City
and Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base for four years. It was
there that he met his wife, Carole, at a bingo game. He
and Carole have a son and a daughter, and three grand-
children. They have been married 43 years and live in
Overland Park, KS. Carole is a graphic artist.
Jim went to work for Menorah Hospital in Kansas City
for two years. After spending a year at Metropolitan
Junior College, he finished up his undergraduate degree
from William Jewell College in 1972 with a degree in
accounting. Jim is proud of having achieved the Deans
Honor list every semester he was at William Jewell. But,
alas, Kansas City lost him for an extremely short time to
a hospital in South Carolina.
Corporate
UPDATES
In 1972 Jim returned to Kansas City for a two-year
term as assistant controller at Childrens Mercy Hospital.
Then, in 1974, Truman Medical Center hired him as
director of finance for four years.
Jim then worked for the Humana organization. As
associate executive of finance, he helped open the hospi-
tal, now known as Overland Park Regional Medical
Center on Quivira Road in Overland Park. He later
worked with the Humana Plus insurance arm (HMO)
until 1987 when former JKV President Herman Spahr
hired him as chief financial officer at JKV.
Since 1987, Jim has helped grow the Villages reserve
from $6 million to $32 million, an accomplishment he is
extremely proud of, especially during current economic
times.
The Village is financially strong and with its reserves
and assets is weathering the present recession in good
form, he said.
In addition to streamlining John Knox Villages
accounting and financial operations, he also serves in the
same capacity with the JKV parent company, PremierLife,
and was instrumental in assisting with establishing the
companys corporate structure. He is active in the local
Chamber of Commerce, Missouri Homes and Services
for the Aging, and the American Association of Home and
Services for the Aging.
In addition to his career accomplishments, Jim has
worked to continue his education, earning a masters
degree in management health care from Central
Michigan University, as well as a Certificate of Aging
Services Professional from the University of North Texas.
Jim also received a Medal of Honor from the Health
Financial Management Association in 1997, a group that
he headed locally for two years.
Jim played trumpet in his high school band and sang
in a gospel quartet. Until a vehicle accident he was very
active in all sports.
Jims door is always open, and he welcomes residents
at any time. I love my job and all the resident friends I
have made since coming to the Village, he said.
John Knox Village is surely fortunate to have such a
well-educated, experienced man to look after our
finances.

Volunteer Meal Coupon Update
In November, John Knox VIllage announced it would
cease distribution of meal coupons to volunteers after
Nov. 16, 2008. Originally, we had announced the meal
coupons issued prior to Nov. 16, 2009, would not expire.
However, in an effort to improve Village finances, we
later decided to put an expiration date of May 1, 2009.
After further thought in response to your
concerns, we have decided to stick to our original com-
mitment to honor all meal tickets already earned
indefinitely. We want to show all volunteers that we
value their hard work and dedication to John Knox
Village. If you have any questions, please call
Volunteer Manager Michele Rusinko at 347-2318
or Manager of Auxiliary Shops Gayle Brunson at
347-2820.

board meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, April 27, 2009, in

open with comments from the board chair Dr. George
Pagels, followed by member introductions, committee
reports and a question-answer period.

Pavilion Sign Installed
Finally! The Pavilions new
monument/electronic mes-
sage center has been installed
and is operational. (There is
still landscaping to come.)
We are very excited
about this new sign and
communication tool. It is
the first monument sign to
be installed in our new cam-
pus signage program. More
new monument signs and
renovation of existing signs
will begin soon as we complete the campus beautifica-
tion project this spring. We hope that the new monu-
ments will increase awareness of JKV, help our residents
and guests navigate our campus, and create an excellent
first impression.

Thanks for the Aprons!
The Volunteer Department is proud to
announce that the volunteers at the Village Care
Center have been given new aprons to wear cour-
tesy of the JKV Foundation. The previous blue aprons
had been worn for many years and mended repeatedly.
The new aprons are burgundy and are embroidered with
the JKV Volunteers logo on the front. Please make sure to
compliment the volunteers whenever you see them and
as always, thank them for all they do for the Village.

pring is all around us; even though there are still a few
cold days intermixed with the warm ones. We are all
eager to be outside as much as possible.
Our hearts go out to Bill and the Boswell family on the
passing of Nancy.
After a short stay in the hospital with pneumonia and a
couple of weeks at the Village Care Center for rehab, Edna
Foster is home.
If you notice special excitement about Mary Marcum,
rightly so. One of her granddaughters was chosen from the
cheering squad of the K.C. Chiefs to be part of a group that
will go to Honduras and El Salvador to entertain the troops.
Mary was able to attend the rehearsal when a video of the
girls was made. Another granddaughter will attend college
in Nebraska on a four-year scholarship. She is a senior at
Lees Summit North and plays soccer with their team.
Welcome to Anita Paxton. She moved into a first-floor
apartment. We hope she will enjoy her new home here.
Billie Campbell has moved to Valley View.
We have only one birthday to celebrate in April: Frank
Leone, April 11.

February when her granddaughters family came from
Detroit, MI, to spend their winter break in Missouri.
Take advantage of Hobby Hut for some great services.
They repair furniture, lamps, toys and even antique fur-
niture for donations plus the cost of material. They will
also do some construction at your specifications.
Elijah Charles, the 2-year-old great-grandson of
Charles Blanton, is scheduled to have his right leg ampu-
tated below the knee April 22. Later he will be fitted with
prosthesis at Childrens Mercy Hospital. Your prayers will
be greatly appreciated.
Please welcome Paul and Jeanette Hermans who

Janet Jackson, April 26.
Beth Bulloc is a lovely girl who hardly looks old
enough to vote. She lives with her mother, Karen
Ventimiglia, through a special arrangement with JKV.
Karen is really excited about her new van because it
enables her to wheel Beths wheelchair in and out, mak-
ing things easier for them both.
Malcolm McDonald is at the Village Care Center.
Maude Wark is now at Valley View. We hope she comes
back to visit or stays in touch with friends on Cherry.
Also, I talked with Elsie Proulx, and she was doing okay
at the time and still hopes to get back to Cherry soon.
Jan Sheriden reported that she went to the 38 Special
concert that was held in The Pavilion and said she
thought it was excellent.
Terry Phelps went to Fort Lauderdale, and was sched-
uled to return March 3, just in time to see the leftovers of
the whopper snowfall we had Feb. 28.
Meanwhile, I saw an ad in the Kansas City Star show-
ing a long-legged model in a parka and skirt that ended
three feet from her feet. My reaction, Good Lord, is that
thing coming back or did it ever really go away?

Esther Johnson will celebrate her 103rd birthday April
27. Born in a log cabin in Lexington, KS, in 1906, she was
the youngest girl in her family most of her six brothers
and three sisters were grown. Esther showed me a photo
of the large, graceful, three-story home in Pleasanton,
KS, where she and her husband lived after their mar-
riage. A large wrap-around porch gives the 1800s struc-
ture a graceful appearance. The house remains in
Esthers family and a great-nephew plans to move there
with his family. Esther worked at a bank on and off for 25
years. Both she and her husband played Santa Claus for
35 years in the Sears store at 15th and Cleveland in
Kansas City. Since Esthers husband attended University
of Kansas she remains a fervent KU basketball fan and has
never missed a home game. Today an autographed pho-
tograph of Coach Bill Self occupies a prominent place in
her home, and she does not let anything interfere with
watching her beloved KU team on television.
Esthers great-nephew, Christopher, calls every morn-
ing to make sure she is okay. He and other family mem-
bers keep an eye on her. She moved to JKV in January
2003 after a fall and is good about taking care herself and
her neighbors. Happy birthday, Esther, we love you!
Happy April birthday also to Bea Fox, April 9; Faye

ur building meeting was held March 16. We feel very
fortunate to have a place like the lovely remodeled
G/H Building lounge in which to hold our meetings. We
appreciate this accommodating area very much. We also
love our game room on the second floor, as well as the
first and third floor alcoves with playing tables.
I have become a lady without a car, and I certainly
appreciate getting to the stores, etc. on campus by using
Dial-A-Ride. As my great-grandchildren say, JKV rocks!
One of our newer neighbors is Edna Speidel. She has
livened up our hallway with wonderful new cooking
smells. Besides her cooking talents she is a fine all-
around person who already volunteering. Edna comes to
us from St Louis where she was born and raised. After
she went away to college at Southeast Missouri State and
eventually marrying, she was away from St. Louis for sev-
eral years. The year was 1982 when she found her back
home where she became a travel agent. She says her
main claims to fame are her three daughters. One is a
media minister who lives in Florida. Another daughter,
who lives in Colorado Springs, CO, is an administrative
assistant. Her daughter who lives in Overland Park, KS, is
a teacher in the Blue Valley School District.
In 1993 she retired from her job as a travel agent and
devoted her life to caring for her aging mother who
passed away in 2007. After a year or so, Edna decided she
wanted to live close to one of her daughters so she chose
to stay in her native Missouri and joined us at F Building.
She is very happy here and dotes on her two grandchil-
dren and five great-grandchildren. Edna gives back to her
community and her church in many ways. She volunteers
for Chaplain Bev Weddle in the Comforters ministry and
is a greeter in the atrium. She also is a fine domino play-
er and loves to join us in playing Rummikub and
Scrabble. She fits right in with her neighbors.
Happy birthday, Dee Stewart, April 19.

t the time of this writing March had just thundered in
as the proverbial roaring lion. Thankfully, the snow-
storm was immediately followed by sunshine and most
activities went on pretty much as planned.
Of my daddys very large family, I have only one aunt
left. On the first day of March I had the pleasure of
attending her 90th birthday party. It was such a warm and
wonderful day, I have no doubt the lion will have been
transformed in to a gentle lamb before April arrives.
Soon we will be delighting in the drip, drip, drip of
April showers and are almost able to smell the May flow-
ers. With so much new landscaping our grounds should
be absolutely gorgeous this spring. Lets all plan to take
lots of walks and fully enjoy our beautiful home.
Although we expect to be welcoming several new res-

The first Thursday of May each year, John Knox Village
joins with others across the nation to observe the
National Day of Prayer. This years service, scheduled
for Thursday, May 7 at The Pavilion, will begin with
a live dove release at 6 p.m. A service will follow at
6:30 p.m. The theme this year is Prayer, Americas
Hope. Music Specialist Patrick Burton will lead the music
and the Gospelaires will share in song. Lees Summit
Mayor Karen Messerli will present a Proclamation and
pastors and business leaders from around the city will
lead us in prayer for their respective areas.
National Day of Prayer observations have been held
as early as 1775 with the first Continental Congress. In
the 1940s, President Harry Truman set aside appropriate
days to observe a national day of prayer. However, it was-
nt until May 5, 1988, that President Ronald Reagan signed
into law a bill designating the first Thursday of May as
National Day of Prayer. The celebration has experienced
rapid growth; last year an estimate 2 million people
across America participated in National Day of Prayer
services.
Lets join our hearts together and drape a
canopy of prayer over this nation. For more infor-
mation contact Chaplain Bev Weddle at 347-2311.

What is Tin Pan
Alley Music and Why Would
I Want to Know?
Some of the best-loved, long-lasting, familiar, genera-
tion-spanning songs come from the Tin Pan Alley era.
Youll be hearing a wonderful variety of them at the John
Knox Village Music Departments Spring Concert
May 12 in The Pavilion. As I sing some of them in
rehearsals, my prediction is that this concert will leave
you smiling with memories and humming or singing
familiar songs as you leave. Who cant remember when
they sang Down by the Old Mill Stream; Yes, We Have
No Bananas; or K-K-Katy, Beautiful Katy?
Tin Pan Alley was a real place located on West 28th
Street between 5th Avenue and Broadway in New York
City. The era of Tin Pan alley is usually dated between
1885 to sometime in the 1930s, although some would say
even as late as the 1950s. After the Civil War, more than
25,000 pianos a year were sold and by 1887 more than
500,000 youths were studying piano. As a result, the need
for sheet music grew rapidly and more publishers began
to enter the markets existing in many cities, including
New York, Chicago, New Orleans, St. Louis and Boston.
New York City was becoming an important center for
the musical and performing arts and began to emerge as
the center for popular music publishing. With its concen-
tration in one location one could immediately see trends
and changes in music style. Vaudeville was replacing the
Minstrel Show as a popular form of stage entertainment.
The appetite for published music increased, as did the
number of songwriters. All of a sudden it seemed that
music was becoming an industry rather than an art, and
it used creative and clever marketing, competition and
opportunism to get rich. Yet the music that endures and
is enjoyed today represents a fusion of art and commer-
cialism and represents the triumph of art and talent
over the commercial interests, according to Wikipedia.
Exactly why the area is called Tin Pan Alley seems to
be fairly well documented, yet still smacks of an urban
legend. Nonetheless, the name is attributed to a newspa-
per writer named Monroe Rosenfeld who while staying in
New York coined the term to symbolize the cacophony of
the many pianos being pounded in publishers demo
rooms which he characterized as sounding as though
hundreds of people were pounding on tin pans.
According to the story, he used the term in a series of
articles he wrote around the turn of the century (20th)
and it caught on, according to Wikipedia.
This pounding was done by the song pluggers,
pianists and singers who made a living as demonstrators
to promote sheet music sales. Most stores had song plug-
gers on staff. Other pluggers were employed by the pub-
lisher to travel and familiarize the public with their new
publications. When they purchased new songs by
unknown composers, the companies frequently had the
name of someone with the firm added as co-composer to
gain a higher percentage of royalties for the firm. Well
known composers included Irving Berlin, George M.
Cohan, Hoagy Carmichael, Fats Waller, Cole Porter,
George and Ira Gershwin, and countless others.
Most Tin Pan Alley songs were oriented towards pro-
ducing songs that amateur or small-town bands could
perform from printed music. Although for the most part
they were written before our time, its amazing how
much they are a part of our lives today.
While looking over the list of the eras 45 biggest hits,
I was surprised that I could easily sing either in part or in
entirety 36 songs from the list.
Regardless of the happy times the music connotes,
we cannot forget that Tin Pan
Alley was not about love, peace and happiness. It was
about selling songs. The times certainly had their share
of troubles and life was not a bed of roses then anymore
than now. There were no altruistic desires on the part of
the publishers to solve the problems of society nor were
they attempting to create a happy world. They were sim-
ply about trying to create and sell music that people
bought. Their chosen method during that time was to
provide musical entertainment that allowed people to
escape the realities of the hardships of life and their own
lifes troubles, according to Wikipedia.

At the Resident Council General Meeting held March
3, 2009, Wanda Chinnery was elected president and
Wayne Swetnam, vice president, of the Resident Council.
They will serve a term of two years starting April 1, 2009.
Both Wanda and Wayne are heavily involved in Village
activities and have a long list of accomplishments.
Wanda, who graduated from Augustana College with
a degree in mathematics, worked for Midwest Research
Institute in mathematical research and for Hallmark
Cards in Information Technology. She already has served
the Village well. Since moving to the Village 10 years ago,
Wanda has been president of the Shamrockers neighbor-
hood group, volunteered in the Computer Center, been
a mentor for a UMKC medical student, served as secre-
tary of the Resident Council and is board liaison to the
Auxiliary. She is a past-president of the Foundations
Ambassadors executive committee and had been the
Resident Council vice president previously. However, her
term as vice president was interrupted when she was
appointed to the JKV Board of Directors where she
served for two years before being named to the
PremierLife Board of Directors.
In considering her vision for the future of the
Resident Council, Wanda said, I would like to enhance
the communication in our wonderful Village as well as to
assist in the growth of the Village in any way possible
through greater resident population and services to the
community.
Wayne earned his bachelor of science at the
University of Missouri in Columbia. From 1954-69
Captain Swetnam was a pilot and maintenance officer in
the U.S. Air Force Reserve. Wayne has worked for several
companies as plant manager and purchasing agent, and
service station manager. Later, Wayne owned and operat-
ed a propane business, a car wash and a vending busi-
ness. Since coming to the Village in 2005, Wayne has kept
himself busy with numerous volunteer activities, includ-
ing president and vice president and representative of
the Joy Place neighborhood, moderator and choir mem-
ber of Village church, medical escort, a member of three
musical groups, JKV Foundation Ambassador, marketing
committee and Garden Club board member. In addition,
Wayne has been involved in Kiwanis and Rotary, Metro
Mens Choir, and Masonic Lodge and Ararat Shrine. We
look forward to using Waynes many areas of expertise
during his tenure as Resident Council vice president.

walking meditation is easy when the sun is warm, the flow-

Spring is like a rebirth and is a joyful time to welcome
fitness back into our daily lives. While the Village is exam-

Measuring Sustainability
by Emily Morris, Fitness Coordinator
more frequently used in connection with biological and
human systems.
So, how does this apply to our fitness levels? As we age,
we know, personally, that we experience changes in our
body, our mind, and our outlook. It is important to remain
diligent. Our bodies crave movement and studies prove
our mind also responds positively to physical activity.
It is important to measure our sustainability. We can do
this by setting goals and measuring our progress.
Everyone who joins the Fitness Center undergoes a fitness
assessment. This fitness testing measures everything from
our heart rate and blood pressure to our cardiovascular
endurance to muscular strength. Why not retest your body
and compare it to the last time you tested? Whether you
have been exercising faithfully for months, or have been
sedentary but are ready to begin, now is the time!
Let the fitness staff inspire you! Allow us the pleasure
to measure your sustainability! For more information, call
the fitness center at 347-2187 or drop by today!

Spring has sprung! Although we had lots of false
starts, judging from the activities in the garden, on the
golf course and in the Westminster Meadows, Im sure
spring is here.
We omitted Square Root Day in last months calen-
dar. It was 3/3/09. Sorry math buffs! (This phenomenon
occurs only nine times each century.)
Sustainability and recycling are the buzz words this
month and Captain Brian Petersen of operations is
leading the Villages charge. Read all about it on page 4.
The JKV Community Theatre group put on good
shows March 10 and 11. Our neighbors sure had a lot of
guts getting up in front of us to entertain. Our hats are
off to them, and we look forward to many more produc-
tions in the future.
Thanks for a fun birthday party. I hope you enjoyed
the wine and cake!
Chaplain Bev Weddle is promoting prayer as usual
and reminds us that the National Day of Prayer is coming
May 7. Be at The Pavilion at 6 p.m. for a glorious evening!
The garden is planted, and we hope its growing; but
the best show in the Village is watching two men and
their machines line the Westminster Meadows creek with
Brians huge building blocks. These guys are real artists!
Remember April Fools Day and happy Easter!

When a person has hearing loss, the sounds which are inaudible are never able to
be recovered. In other words, the loss cannot be medically or surgically corrected;
its a permanent loss.
The majority of people with hearing loss experience greater difculty recognizing
sounds and understanding speech at high frequencies than at low frequencies. With
the most innovative technology to date, Phonak has developed SoundRecover, which
makes high frequency sounds audible again.
Whats SoundRecover?
With SoundRecover, the relevant higher-frequency signals/sounds are compressed
and shifted into a lower frequency range that is more easily heard by the
hearing system-wearer. This tends to affect consonants such as b, p, and
d and sibilant sounds such as s and sh, all of which are very important for
speech comprehension. SoundRecover makes these high frequency sounds audible
again. This enables people with hearing loss to understand speech and sounds
optimally again.
In addition to the regaining of speech sounds, with SoundRecover, the hearing and
identifying of high-pitched environmental sounds, such as birdsongs, alarms, and
some musical sounds are hightened.
Where can you nd hearing instruments featuring SoundRecover?
This remarkable advancement in technology can be found at Hometown Hearing
& Audiology which is less than two miles away from John Knox Village.

In addition to your FREE hearing screening, try
