primetimes
by Cassie KibensThe teacher heads over to an art table
stressing the importance of shadows to
emphasize the effect of the chin. A few mo-
ments later he is back at another table en-couraging the student’s work and showing
her how to hold a pencil to achieve a better
and easier sketch.
During the last session of the class a stu-
dent requests a nude model, so the teacher
complies with a 10-inch statuette made of
wood with moveable limbs that now sits on
the table.
A month after retirement David Swim-
mer, 67, decided to gure out what he
wanted to be when he grew up. A Clayton
attorney for most of his life, Swimmer nal-
ly retired at the end of 2014 and just a few
months later he decided to teach drawing
to senior citizens at adult daycare centers.
Swimmer had not taken a formal art
class until about four years ago, but enjoyedart from a young age, which contributed to
the after-retirement lifestyle. A museum
visit as a youngster was an inspiration.
“When I was a kid, I had this drunken
dentist,” Swimmer said. “He didn’t drink
when he practiced, but he had like a trem-
or and I did what any kid would do when I
had a tremor inside my face, I bit him. And
my mother told me that if I didn’t bite Dr.
Jolly, she would take me to the art museum
and show me ‘Hercules Battles the Hydra.’”
Swimmer grew up in University City,
attended University City High School and
eventually left to go to law school to avoid
being drafted during the Vietnam War. His
two children, Ghram, 38, and Hannah, 33,
both support his after-retirement lifestyle
and so does his second wife, Mary Pat, whobelieves her husband is happier now that
he is teaching instead of practicing law.
Swimmer does not know why he ended
up teaching to senior citizens, but he is
grateful that he has had the opportunity
to work with them. Some of the students
Swimmer instructs have dementia and oth-
er intellectual issues. Drawing seems to be
a positive outlet for them.
“People who do not have a lot of ver-
bal command of language anymore can be
wonderful, persuasive artists,” Swimmer
said. “They get to be young adults again.
They’re learning something. They get to
apply themselves, and then it’s real when
they’re through. They display it in their
room. They send it to their grandchildren.”It is not easels and special sketching
pencils Swimmer uses to teach the class, it
is printer paper and old-fashioned number
two pencils. The models? There are none.
They’re too expensive and they tend to take
breaks, said Swimmer. Instead, he uses
various statuettes, many no taller than 10
inches. Classes tend to last about an hour,
as to not go on for too long and lose the at-
tention of his pupils.
“These people don’t have an innite span
of attention,” Swimmer said. “They don’t

Instead of live models David Swimmer uses statuettes to teach drawing
to senior citizens at various locations, including the Cardinal Ritter Senior Services’ Adult Daycare Program in Shrewsbury.

concentrate often, and after an hour
they’re exhausted. And I want to stop
when they still want to work.”
Swimmer teaches gesture drawing,
which involves a different grip of the
pencil, often almost parallel with the
table, and uses the person’s shoulderand entire body to draw, not just the
wrist. He learned this technique while
training with the St. Louis Artists
Guild. Swimmer teaches 25-30 ses-
sions a month at about two-dozen dif-
ferent places around St. Louis.
“I am so grateful that I am doing
what I’m doing,” Swimmer said. “In
old cartoons, when somebody would
have an idea, there would be a light
bulb that would turn on. I get to watch
that every week. I call it, an ‘ah-hah’
moment.”
When Swimmer is not teaching
drawing he is reading or cruising
around on his 1000cc Yamaha motor-
cycle. The motorcycle may have somepower, but Swimmer says he goes so
slow that bugs settle in the back of his
helmet, not just the front.
Seniors look forward to his arrival.
He is often the youngest one in the
room, which he gets a kick out of.
“I feel privileged that they look
forward to my showing up,” he said.
“Many of them can’t remember my
name, so I’m ‘the kid.’ And because I’m67, I love to be ‘the kid.’”
Swimmer said his older art stu-
dents are capable of learning, though
teaching new techniques can require
patience.
“I love watching the art grow,”
Swimmer said. “If a Higher Power is
light, and if everybody has a seed of
creativity, I’m the rusty watering can.
And if these people get watered, some-
thing will grow. And I love to see what
happens. I can literally watch God’s
actions when I see these people cre-
ate.”

Teaching Drawing To Seniorsfrom page 1-PT
Once individuals retire they may
discover a newfound freedom in their
schedule with time to devote to hob-
bies and pastimes they enjoy.
According to research, hobbies canhave many benets. They may serve
as an emotional outlet or a way to re-
lax. Hobbies can keep the mind and
hands active. They also allow for qui-
et time and mind wandering – which
can free up creative thinking. Hobbies
can also serve as a means to connect-
ing with people and opening up new
groups of friends.
There are many hobbies to consid-
er, depending on physical health and
abilities. These may be hobbies one
once enjoyed in the past or new ac-
tivities to expand one’s horizons. And
hobbies need not be crafty in the tra-
ditional sense; just about any activity
– even being a mentor – can be a formof a hobby.
Starting A Hobby
When deciding on a hobby, rst
take an inventory of skills and inter-
ests. For someone who has always
been handy around wood and con-
struction, perhaps a woodworking
hobby will be enjoyable and also may
work as a source of income revenue.
Other activities that require the
use of the hands and mind include
knitting, needlepoint, painting, puz-
zles, quilting, scrapbooking and cro-
cheting. These can keep the mind
active and improve dexterity and ne
motor skills.Next, consider the costs surround-
ing a hobby. While taking photos may
have relatively low costs, collectibles,
exotic sports, sports cars and travel
could become expensive. Also, visit a local hobby shop or
craft store and browse through the
aisles. From building model trains to
cultivating an herb garden, there are
dozens of ideas to try.
Other pastimes
A hobby can take the form of volun-
teer work, teaching, mentoring, join-
ing a martial arts class, taking class-
es at a college, and even caring for a
pet. Those who like to interact with
other people instead of engaging in a
solitary hobby, consider one of these
types of activities instead.
Once a hobby is started, it is not set
in stone. If it doesn’t work out or isn’tenjoyable, try something else.

by Linda JarrettFor most of her 84 years, Barbara
Perry Lawton has delved into the
world of owers and plants, and
shared her expertise.
As an award-winning writer,
author, speaker and photographer,
she has written extensively on
gardening and horticulture.
Now, she can add beekeeping to
her resume.
Lawton, a long-time Kirkwood
resident who now resides at Cape
Albeon retirement community in
Valley Park, thought the expansive
grounds would be the perfect placefor an herb garden.
She brought the idea to Food
Service Director David Gomes and
Head Chef Mark DuBro who agreed,
and Lawton started planting basil,
fennel, rosemary and a host of other
herbs.
From there, Lawton said the
progression to beekeeping seemed a
“natural” thing to do.
“We’ve got a great chef who likes
to use honey, and I just felt that this
was an ideal spot,” she said.
After convincing many of the
residents that there would not be
swarms of bees disturbing them, they
found beekeeper Spring Shutt.Shutt, who had been keeping
bees at Principia High School for
two years, said her mentor, Sandy
Brooks, set up hives at Cape Albeon.
Brooks asked Shutt if she would like
to take them over.
Cape Albeon paid for the bees and
the two hives, each of which contain
70,000 bees. During the rst year
bees produced four gallons of honey.
“Usually you don’t get much the
rst year,” Shutt said. “Our bees did
extremely well, so we had a bumper
crop and expect more this year. “
“Ideally you get two harvests,”
Lawton said. “One in July and one in
September.”
Head Chef DuBro said he didn’tknow anything about bees until the
operation got started.
“We were buying honey for our
cooking and thought it would be great
to have our own honey,” he said.
The benets of eating local honey
are well-documented.
“It has to do with the plants in the
area,” Shutt said. “The pollen is in
the honey, and if you eat the honey,
you’re building up an immunity
against the pollen in your area. So,
not only is it good for you, it supports
local businesses.”
Bees travel in a two-mile radius
to nd owers and plants to gather
pollen and pollinate,” Shutt said.

“They get pollen on their legs,
put in pollen sacks and carry
it back to the hive.
“As they y, they create
static electricity and pollen
literally jumps on theirlegs into these little yellow
bags,” she said. “They get all
different colors of pollen, and
that creates different avors
of honey.”
DuBro calls Lawton an
inspiration.
“We work together, and
we realized that, with the
shortage of honey bees, what
a good way to incorporate
something here, help the bee
population and use the honey
for cooking,” DuBro said.
Much research is being
done on the causes behind
the signicant drop in thehoneybee population.
“Pesticides are a factor,” Shutt said.
“Home gardeners use more pesticides than
the big growers, and some lawn services
spray in the middle of the day when bees
are out foraging,” she said.
“They get pesticides on them
and carry it back to the box
where they communicate by
touch, and spread pesticides
throughout the hive.”
DuBro said the hives have
been “wonderfully received”
and residents are enjoying the
delicious dishes prepared by
DuBro.
The lush herb garden sitsnext to the hives, surrounded
by bushes to give the bees
privacy as they go about their busy work
making honey and keeping the Queen happy.
“Most of the residents don’t even notice
them now,” DuBro said. “They are not like
yellow jackets that go after your food. They’re
only interested in owers. If you don’t bother
them, they won’t bother you.”
Shutt became interested in bees when she
was a child, after her family moved to an old
farm house.
“There were bees living in the attic and
between the inside and outside wall of abedroom,” she said. “The room would heat
up and my whole room smelled like honey.
I would put my ear to the wall and I could
hear them working.”
Shutt said Barbara Lawton keeps
everyone on their toes, calling her regularly
to ask when she will be coming out to take
care of the bees.
When not watching over the bees, Lawton
writes for Gateway Gardener and Outdoor
Guide, and volunteers at Chip Tynan’s
Horticultural Answer Service at the Missouri
Botanical Garden. For nearly 20 years she
contributed a weekly column to the St. LouisPost-Dispatch.

Athletes are used to pushingthemselves and stretching theirlimits, but some limits are best notpushed. Such is the case with thelimits posed by aging. While athletesdon’t have to completely hang uptheir athletic equipment as they
approach senior citizen status, thereare steps senior athletes can taketo ensure they aren’t pushing theirbodies too far as they grow older.
Senior athletes must recognizetheir new recovery time. Where asprained ankle might once have beenas good as new after a few days ofrest, aging athletes must recognizethat the same ankle sprain nowmight require more recovery time.Returning too quickly from an injurycan only make things worse.
Gradually increasing warm uptime with age is a good idea, asit helps ready the body for morestrenuous exercise.
As the body ages, it becomes lessexible, which makes it less capable
of successfully handling the repetitive
movements common to exercise.Focus on exibility and stretch
muscles before and after a workout.
Activities such as yoga can alsoimprove exibility for athletes of all
ages.Some senior athletes mistakenly
feel they have nothing to gain bylifting weights now that they are nolonger as concerned about building
muscle. But the body gradually losesmuscle mass as it ages, and that lossputs the joints under greater stresswhen other exercises are performed.That stress can put people at greaterrisk for arthritis, tendinitis andligament sprains. While maxing outon the bench press or challengingoneself on the biceps curl might beoverkill, strength training shouldcontinue to be a part of any tness
regimen.Senior athletes need not
cease their athletic pursuits. Butrecognizing the changes a body goesthrough and the limitations that agebrings is an important element of
staying healthy in older adulthood.
Advice To Help Keep Senior Athletes Moving
Swimming is good exercise for all
ages.
History buffs can do own research on the third weekend of the month beginning July 18 & 19

are increasingly offering larger
packages of food products as well
as “family size” offerings to compete
with warehouse clubs. If buying in
bulk, invest in a food vacuum sealer
or freezer storage bags. Immediately
separate meats and poultry into
smaller portions before storing them
in the freezer. Otherwise, look for
bulk items that are individually
wrapped to maintain freshness.Many canned and jarred items
can be covered and stored in the
refrigerator after containers are
opened.
• Plan meals with similar
ingredients. To reduce food waste,
use leftovers to create casseroles
or mix them in with new meals.
Broiled or grilled chicken can be
used to make soups, stir-fry dishes,
fajitas and sandwiches. The fewer
ingredients you have to buy, the
smaller the risk of spoilage.
• Cut recipes in half. Recipes
can be cut down depending on how
many mouths need to be fed. When
baking, cutting back on proportions
of ingredients can be challenging.Search online for recipe-scaling
programs that can make the work
easier.
• Cook on the weekend. Use a
weekend day to prepare food and
package it into small containers in
the refrigerator or freezer. Then
the containers can be taken out as
needed and heated quickly in the
microwave for fast meals.
• Organize a meal-sharing club.
Get together with a few friends and
split cooking duties. If accustomed
to cooking larger portion sizes, do
so and then spread the wealth with
others in the group.
