1. TOUCHMARK ON SOUTH HILL
THE{FULL}LIFE
August 2014
Car show features autos spanning
nearly a century
A veritable history of cars, with autos spanning
nearly 100 years, dotted the Touchmark campus
during the recent car show. They included …
• 1917 Chevrolet 490
• 1928 Ford Model AA
• 1931 Cadillac Sport Phaeton
• 1940 Buick 41, 4-door sedan
• 1955 Pontiac Starchief
• 1967 Dodge Cornet 500
• 1975 VW Street Dune Buggy
• 1985 Mercedes 420 SEL
• 2002 Lexus SC430 convertible
• 2012 Mini Coupe Cooper S
Proud car owners included Grant Person, who
served as the event’s grand marshal and shared
two of his vehicles. One is a restored 1931 Buick;
the other is an original 1940 Buick. Grant’s
grandfather gave him the 1940 Buick, and he has
treasured the car since he was 16 years old.

Harry Mielke won the grand marshal choice award
and participants’ choice award for his 16-cylinder
1931 Cadillac Sport Phaeton.“This was a thoroughly
enjoyable event. It was a well run event, no pressure
involved, had class, and was a lot of fun. We were
treated to breakfast and lunch. The assortment of
cars was of good quality.”

RESOURCE{FULL} – The benefits of growing green
Brian Pryor
Executive Vice President
Our environment, and how we feel about it, can
have a huge impact on the way we feel. For many,
the first areas that come to mind when we think of
environmental wellness are things like reducing and
conserving energy or reusing and recycling practices.
These areas should be important to all of us, and they
are areas of focus for Touchmark communities.
Another area to consider is the impact and benefits that house plants have on the environment and our
wellness. Research at Kansas State University (2006, Park, Seong-Hyun) on indoor plants identified
several therapeutic benefits, including reduced stress, lower heart rates and blood pressure, decreased
pain medication, and less fatigue and anxiety. Indoor plants also add color and brighten mood,
moisturize and purify the air, and sharpen focus and attention.
Some Touchmark communities have outdoor gardens, which are also beneficial for your body and soul.
Gardening is considered a moderate to intense form of exercise and uses all three types of recommended
activities—endurance, flexibility, and strength. Gardening also provides people with a sense of personal
well-being through stress relief, education, and the creation of friendships.
Indoors and outdoors, plants offer many benefits. Do you have a green thumb? Would you consider
teaching others how to have a green thumb? Share your thoughts and ideas with your community’s Life
Enrichment/Wellness team. Help us enhance environmental wellness; consider adding indoor plants
to your home environment. If you are interested in a list of safe plants, send me an email at FullLife@
Touchmark.com.
