After 17 years as the Director of the Ashland Senior Program, and with over 35 years of social service experience, Sharon has decided to begin her next life adventure in retirement, beginning July 1st. Her announcement is met with mixed emotions; we know she has much she wants to do in her life outside the Senior Center, and we also know how much she did for our Ashland seniors, who benefited from her kindness and expertise. Many of the senior program elements were developed during Sharon’s tenure, including outreach and home visitations, information and referral for seniors or family members with concerns, coordinating the many activities at the senior center, health and wellness programs, heat assistance programs, just to name a few. Please drop by on Tuesday, June 19th, between 12:30 and 2:00 pm for dessert and to chat with Sharon and wish her well with her new endeavors. For more information, please call 488-5342.

For the “newbies” among us oldies, we want to share a few of the things that distinguish our Senior Program Director. Sharon began her social service career working for Marion County as a Case Manager after graduat- ing from college. She married Don Laws and eventually relocated to Ashland where she worked for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program as the Program Director. She then began to work for ACCESS doing outreach for the next 18 years, prior to coming to the Ashland Senior Program in her role as Director. Sharon has been with the Senior Program for 17 years, meeting and greeting with a smile the doz- ens of people that come through each day, and supervising a staff of salaried, volunteer and SOU practicum students that have aided in the daily needs and routine of the office. This includes home visitations to determine needs, continuous phone calls from panicked seniors with any number of problems or maybe just to chat or be encouraged about something, from adult children calling long distance with concerns of their Ashland parents, with questions about the many activities in the activity center or to make reservations for a summer outing. Different people are attracted by the wide range of activities at the senior center, and the search is always on for something to add – and more people to greet with a smile!! Important well-health functions such as the blood pressure clinic and the flu clinic are coordinated by Sharon as well as the Heating Assistance Program. She has attended countless meetings fighting for her share of the city budget, for bus service, transportation, prescription assistance, possible grant monies and anything else that might impact Ashland seniors. Although it was probably the least pleasant of items on her job description Sharon tackled the Senior Program budget with nu- merous pencils and even more erasers as she struggled to crunch the numbers and meet the budget committee deadline. She was always complimented for keeping it to the bare essentials. There was never a need presented by a senior to which Sharon wouldn’t respond, whether it be a ride to an appointment, a ride home when the transportation wasn’t adequate, a call to an absent Food and Friend participant to be sure they were OK, treats and decorations for the frequent par- ties in the dining area, etc., etc. Of course she would want it known her staff assist her but it is be- cause Sharon has set the example. One final note, on a larger scale are the two construction projects that have occurred “on Sharon’s watch”, the addition of the activity center ten years ago and the remodel of the kitchen more re- cently. She wasn’t there with a hard hat and hammer in hand but certainly cheered on the progress, aware of the benefit it would have. Please join all Senior Program friends on Tuesday, June 19, at the end of lunch, to thank Sharon for her years of dedication and wish her a delightful retirement.

  • The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Directed by John Frankenheimer
    Why Don’t You Pass the Time by Playing a Little Solitaire? By Fearless Young Orphan The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Directed by John Frankenheimer I saw it: August 19, 2010 Why haven’t I seen it yet? For the longest time, I didn’t even know what it was supposed to be about, or that it was supposed to be any good. It seemed like one of those movies that is famous for its confusing title. I even saw the 2004 remake first, and then this little beauty turned up on my list of classics. Candidate A platoon of American soldiers stationed in Korea comes under attack. Most of the platoon is rescued by Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey), who displays such valiant behavior that he is awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor upon his return. This is good news for his mother, the Mrs. Iselin who is married to Senator Iselin (who, Raymond assures everyone adamantly, is only Raymond’s stepfather). Mrs. Iselin would like her husband to become the Vice President of the United States, and it certainly doesn’t hurt matters to have a hero in the family. Angela Lansbury, icy and quite beautiful, eats this role alive; she may be one of the most evil and frightening characters I’ve ever seen in a film. What is amusing about her is that we know from the moment we hear her speak that she is a villain, long before we know exactly what the hell she’s up to. Her son hates and fears her; he can’t get away from her fast enough.

Now in its fifth season, this year’s lineup of hilarious Off-Broadway hits opens November 5-17 with the North American tour of Spamilton: An American Parody, making its Kansas City premiere. Tickets are on sale now. Created by Gerard Alessandrini, the comic mastermind behind the long-running hit Forbidden Broadway, which played the 2017-18 Starlight Indoors series, Spamilton: An American Parody is a side-splitting new musical parody based on a blockbuster hit of a similar name. After numerous extensions of its run in New York, this hilarious production made a splash in Chicago, Los Angeles and London. Now, Spamilton: An American Parody brings a singing, dancing and comedy revolution to Kansas City. “Spamilton pays a hilarious tribute to its inspiration and is smart, sharp and funny to its core— everything you’d want and more from a spoof of Broadway’s most popular musical,” Caroline Gibel, director of indoor programming at Starlight, said. “The best part is, you don’t have to have seen Hamilton to enjoy Spamilton.

The Manchurian Candidate will be Puts’ and Campbell’s second operatic collaboration. Silent Night , also commissioned by Minnesota Opera, earned Puts the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Music. “I have long wanted to commission an operatic thriller,” said Artistic Director Dale Johnson, “and after the incredible experience of Silent Night last season, I was eager to work with Kevin Puts and Mark Campbell again. The Manchurian Candidate is an all-around match made in heaven.” The Manchurian Candidate is a political thriller that will be based on the 1959 novel by Richard Condon about the son of a prominent U.S. political family who is brainwashed into becoming an unwitting sleeper assassin for a Communist conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government. Condon’s novel inspired two film adaptations. The first film, directed by John Frankenheimer in 1962 , starred Laurence Harvey, Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury, and is widely regarded to be a masterpiece of its genre.
