Cecilia was, at best, a non-mother, not car- ing what her daughter had to wear, to eat, etc. She left Blythe in her own young teenage years with Seb, her ineffectual father. The closest thing Blythe had to a mother was a next door neighbor, who showed her af- fection and caring. Despite the fact that there is a strong physi- cal attraction when Blythe and Fox meet, she shares very little of her family’s past and it be- comes understood that “her” side of the family will never be showing up. Blythe, whose de- sire it is to become a writer, molds herself into what Fox wants her to be. One of the things that Fox wants is a child, but Blythe is terrified of becoming a mother and when she gives birth to a girl, Violet, it is a disaster in the making. Not only does Blythe not have any idea how to be a mother, she has had no one to learn from and no one to go to for help. She is insecure, dam- aged from her own childhood and struggling. Right from the beginning Violet pushes vio- lently against Blythe and only calms, soothes, and stops screaming when held by her father. Fox does not see or un- derstand what is happening right before his eyes. When Blythe tries to start writing again she lets Violet scream for hours in her crib and Fox is furious. Slowly we begin to see what Violet is - cruel, smart, manipu- lative, a liar. Is it nature or nur- ture - the age old question. She knows how to push her mother’s buttons and push she does. Not only that, she pushes another child off a slide in the playground, leading to his

Laurie Lipper Loves Her House Plants

Editorial Board member Laurie Lipper reports that during the pandemic she has been playing Canasta Junction on line with some of her Regency friends, doing a lot more cooking and pickling hot peppers and cauliflower, going to the Jamesburg Zoo and admiring the peacocks, enjoying coffee with the Regency staff on Friday mornings, and, since the gym opened, going four times a week. Since both her sons and their families live so close (Millstone and East Brunswick) she’s been able to spend more time with them including watching soccer on Saturday mornings. She also has been enjoying watching her house plants grow and flower. Photos by Laurie Lipper Hiking Club Recognizes Three Hikers

This was a fun light evening filled with inter- esting descriptions of this era. On May 19, Regency Singles had an outdoor event at Calgo Gardens located in Farming- dale, New Jersey. At the event each of the participants created a floating garden, which they brought home to enhance the décor of their patio or home. Calgo Gardens is a unique gar- den focusing on the belief that nature and positive energy feed our spirits. The beautifully land- scaped grounds house open air greenhouses, which was where the singles group participated in the art class. There is also a fine restaurant on the grounds as well as a lovely gift shop filled with artistic gifts and crafts from local artists. Calgo’s Nurs- ery Manager, Taylor Edgington, led the group through our class as we each created our own Kokedama Ball.

Costa Ricans, for exam- subways and buses, for example, ple, feel discomfort when others often bring strangers into what would ordinarily be classified as intimate spatial relations. So what can we do when we are forced by circumstances to be in closer proximity to other people than we’d like? As passengers, we have defensive devices that take real intimacy out of intimate space in public conveyances. The basic tactic is to be as immobile as possible, with our arms held close to our body. When part of your body unavoidably touches, or is touched by another person, we quickly draw back. We also avoid eye contact as a way of minimizing the forced intimacy of close quarters. Animals “mark” their territory in ways we wouldn’t consider, but we are more territorial than we may realize. Members of a family generally have their own specific chair at the dinner table, and other family members usu- ally don’t sit in someone else’s seat. But there are times when situations arise that bring to the surface the unconscious “territoriality” or possessive reac- tion we have to space. Consider the following scenarios: You’re sitting in a bus that is three quarters empty. You have a large package that you have placed on the seat next to you. Someone stands next to the seat with the package, waiting for you to remove it so they can sit down. You’ve claimed your territory on that bus and, since there are plenty of seats, expect other peo- ple to respect your space. You are the only person in an elevator. Someone gets on and stands right next to you. What do you do? Do you move over? Do you get nervous about the inten- tions of this other person? There’s a meeting you attend every week, and you always sit in the same place. This week some- one sits in your seat. Do you feel irritated and ask the person to move or do you take another seat? In a library that is not crowded, someone deliberately moves your books and sits where you were sitting while you were looking in the book stacks for another book. Space invasion?

Our territorial behavior even extends to parking spaces. One study reported in the Associated Press (May 13, 1997) showed that it’s not our imagination - people really do leave parking spaces more slowly when some- one is waiting for the spot. Socially, distance can be used to insulate or screen people from each other. For instance, when someone we’re talking with gets a phone call, we may step away or walk into another room to give the person personal communica- tion space. There are times when the invasion of someone’s per- sonal space is quite intentional. When the police are conducting an interrogation they gain a psy- chological advantage by sitting close and crowding the suspect. They intimidate and create dis- comfort by invading his/her per- sonal space. When living in a building where apartments share walls or in a community where houses are a few feet apart, it becomes necessary to develop an inner sense of what it takes to be respectful of our neighbors’ pri- vacy, and vice versa. Given the number of positive comments I’ve heard about living in Regency, I’d say our proxemic instincts seem to be well honed. JUNE 2021 – PAGE 14 REGENCY REPORTER

Many times allergic re- actions occur, so observing your pet while on a preventative for ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, and more, is the way to go. Mosquitoes can cause heart- worm and ticks can cause Lyme disease, but depending on the type of tick (which are blood- suckers), they can cause other problems. Fleas are also blood- suckers, and are usually found around the rump of the dog as well as crawling on the abdomi- nal area. Ticks are found around the face, neck, head, shoulder, ears, and eyes while they dig into the skin and fill-up with blood. You can feel them on your dog or cat (it feels like a cyst); if so, remove the tick with tweezers, put it in a jar with alcohol to bring to your veterinarian to de- termine the species of tick it is, and if treatment should be ap- plied. Be sure to remove the full tick from your pet, then clean the area with a swab of alcohol. Ticks are found in high-grass areas as well as wooded surroundings. JUNE 2021 – PAGE 18 REGENCY REPORTER
