JULY/AUGUST 2007 PAGE 3 ads World War II Film Series continues . . .

We’re continuing our weekly showings of documentaries and films that depict the political, social and tactical situations as the Second World War unfolded.

There will be a chance to view each film or documentary, and a follow-up discussion will be led by Pat Mullen, president of the Council on Aging Board of Directors.

In September, the series will conclude with a field trip to the Museum of World War II in Natick, which houses a fascinating collection of WWII items, including the most extensive collection of Enigma code machines outside of the National Security Agency. The films and discussions are free, but please call to reserve a spot.

Friday, July 13, 1:00: A documentary and a movie: The Desert North Africa 1940-1943 Italy invades North Africa only to be stymied by the British; Germany reinforces Italian troops and the battle rages along 600 miles of desert between Egypt and Libya.

Daring raids were launched against Rommel, keeping him off balance as they earn the nickname ‘The Desert Rats’. Starring: , , (1 hr 28 mins)

Friday, July 20, 1:00: The Longest Day England in June 1944. Unseasonable storms. Allied troops are massed ready for the invasion of France, some already on the boats. The Normandy beaches will be their destination while paratroopers are dropped inland to take key towns and bridges. On the other side of the Channel the Germans still expect the invasion of Calais, and anyway the weather makes them think nothing is likely to be imminent. Starring: John Wayne, and (2 hrs 58 mins)

Friday, July 27, 1:00: A Bridge Too Far On 17 September 1944 thousands of paratroopers descended behind enemy lines. Their goal: to secure the bridges across the rivers in Holland so that the Allied army could advance rapidly northwards and skirting around the German defense line. If all went as planned, the war would be over by Christmas, 1944. Unfortunately the plan, named “Operation Market Garden”, didn't have the expected outcome. The bridge at Arnhem proved to be 'a bridge too far'. After ten days of bitter fighting the operation ended with the evacuation of the remainder of the 1st British Airborne Division from the Arnhem area. Starring: , , , , , (2 hrs 56 mins)

JULY/AUGUST 2007 PAGE 5 FROM THE DESK OF ads INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SPECIALIST DEBRA GALLOWAY

A word about confidentiality

“I heard that Mrs. Smith is in the hospital. What happened?” asked Mrs. Jones. “Well, she tripped and fell. She may have a broken wrist,” replied the Senior Center staff person. “Oh my, I hope she recovers quickly, I’ll send a card,” said Mrs. Jones.

This seems like a perfectly ordinary conversation, so what could be wrong with it? When someone, (like Mrs. Jones), asks the Senior Center staff or volunteers a question about another participant (such as Mrs. Smith), the natural inclination is to respond with whatever information we have about Mrs. Smith. But is that the appropriate response?

It may come as a surprise, but the answer is, not really. As staff and volunteers, we may have access to information about Senior Center participants that is not public knowledge. Because we don’t know if Mrs. Smith wants us to share information about her hospitalization, we need to keep this information to ourselves.

This can be difficult for us. We want to be friendly and helpful, but we have to try extra hard to be respectful of all of our participants’ privacy. Although Mrs. Jones (above) is only asking because she cares about Mrs. Smith, we really can’t give out any personal information unless the person herself or himself says it is all right to do so.

Keeping information private can be a challenge for us at our open front desk. Staff and volunteers need to answer telephone calls or speak with other staff members, and may need to speak about someone or something that is private. That’s why there is a “staff only” sign on the door.

If you accidentally overhear someone’s personal information, please don’t share it. Something overheard in passing may not be the complete story, or can get misinterpreted. All of our staff members and volunteers are committed to providing you with information and helping you as best we can, but we will also strive to respect your privacy. Please understand if we are unable to answer a personal question about someone else. We want everyone to feel comfortable and protected. Thanks for your understanding!
