TOUCHMARK AT HARWOOD GROVES
Touchmark Choir members decided to give back to
the community—while fulfilling the dream of being
on stage—and they performed a no-charge concert at
the historic Fargo Theatre downtown. Last year, the
group participated and won a Froggy 99 contest. With
the prize money, they put on the show.
This lively group of 28 Touchmark residents, ranging
in age from 65 to 100 years old, began singing
together in fall 2010. Since then, they have performed
in area schools, other retirement communities, and
for a local Kiwanis Club. The choir is directed by
Dawn Papenfuss and Suzanne Schultz.
Executive Director of the Fargo Theatre Emily Beck
said, “It just seemed to be that perfect example
of a performance that truly brings joy to both the
performers and the audience.”
They sang songs from Broadway shows like South
Pacific, Mary Poppins, and the Lion King and by
artists like The Carpenters and The Andrews Sisters
and many more. The concert was a huge success with
over 250 family, friends, staff, and others attending.

The right to question
authority
“In these chaotic times we
must move from cognitive
dissonance to inspirational
dissonance by learning to live
more deeply in the questions,
and to ask new ones.”
– Anne Dosher, Elder of
the Ashland Institute and
International Women’s Dialogue
The headlines alone are
enough to baffle us. Why
would someone shoot
and kill children and their
teachers? How does a citizen
feel empowered by sharing
information that could
jeopardize the well-being of
others? “Why, why, why?” No
one knows the answers, and
some debate the questions.
The question seems to be,
“Does the right to be heard
override the rights of others
to be safe?” That challenge
lies with the Supreme Court,
the Canadian Ministries, and
leaders in democratic countries
around the world. In reality,
it is important to be heard
but not necessary to be right.
That is the premise of the
constitution, the Bill of Rights,
the Canadian provincial
governance, and other
democratic bodies.
As we celebrate Canada Day
July 1 and the Fourth of July in
the USA, we set aside personal
preferences and biases and
focus on the lives dedicated to
freedom and the rights we all
hold dear.
In my interviews with
Touchmark residents, I
often pause and reflect on
the wisdom, life experience,
patriotism, and thoughtful
observations they share.
In the Lifelong Learning,
Civic Engagement, and
Legacy project offerings
of Touchmark’s Full Life
Wellness & Life Enrichment
Program, there are venues and
opportunities for residents
to participate and share their
knowledge and opinions.

Helping the whole person. An emphasis on mental
wellness.
In today’s media, we hear a lot about mental illness, mental
disorders, and depression, but what about mental health and
wellness? According to the World Health Organization (WHO),
nearly half of the world’s population functioning in everyday
life is affected by mental illness.
The basic definition of mental health is “a state of well-being
in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can
cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively
and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her
community,” according to WHO.
Do we feel “blah” some days? Sure, but the bigger

(cont.) question is how do we manage our
mental health and make it a priority like our
physical health? Well, the two are actually
connected; try these tips:
Regular exercise – helps reduce stress and
anxiety and increase strength and endurance.
Healthy diet – helps the body function at its
best and reduces risks of chronic diseases, like
heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
Sleep – helps with mood and aids in coping
with stress. To sleep better, exercise, have
a regular meal and bedtime schedule, limit
caffeine and alcohol, be active throughout the
day, and have a calm bedtime routine.
Massage – helps with relaxation and sleep
and decreases physical pain, soreness, and
anxiety.
Support of others – Ask for help. Counseling
can help during times of conflict, loss, and
stress. Discuss your mental health with your
doctor as well as your physical health.
Enjoy life! – Find enjoyment in your
everyday life. Love. Laugh. Smile.
Club team members can help create fitness
plan that includes many of these tips, including
exercise and massage. Talk with us today.
