Songwriting Works (SW) gives elders and families access to the physical, cognitive, psycho-social and spiritual benefits of songwriting. Family caregivers join loved ones as trained professional songwriters engage participants in elder-driven evidence-based songwriting workshops held at skilled nursing, assisted living, adult day and community centers. Songwriting Works is a 2010 recipient of The Rosalinde Gilbert Innovations in Alzheimer's Disease Caregiving Legacy Award in the Creative Expression category.
Songwriting Works Educational Foundation
Port Townsend, WA
How does it work?
Songwriting Works may be implemented at different settings. Songwriting Works at the Jewish Home San Francisco (SWaJH, 1997- present) takes place as six three-day programs annually. The facility accommodates the needs of 420 residents. SW staff with JHSF staff / volunteers engage 40-65 residents /day in songwriting and performance. Songwriting Works on the Olympic Peninsula (SWOP, January 2009-present) serves isolated older adults in rural Western Washington. Northwest Care's Dungeness Courte Dementia Care in Sequim, WA hosted the first series of eight two-hour workshops (May-July) with a culminating performance for participants and families in July 8, 2009.
Why is it successful?
Twenty years in the field, research, publications, awards, 3,000 participants, and 300 songs confirm SW's successful adaptation to participants' health/cultural needs, integrating social engagement, musical expression, and empowerment. Outcomes are measured via songwriting itself, oral/written participant / audience surveys, interviews, and testimonials. More than 3,000 elders have composed SW songs since 1990. In 2009-10, 80% have early to late-stage Alzheimer's or other dementias.

Location :
Peachland, British Columbia
Camp Okanagan Forest Cottages & RV Park
[ 4/10 ]
All gravel, some areas more dust than gravel. Tight turns for big rigs. Very narrow sites, picnic table had to be moved off of site to back in and still had to back in over the water connection, which, was a black hose tied onto a 2 by 4. Appears unfinished, and the check in by the manager who was obviously drinking didn't add to the experience.. Could not recommend, even for an overnight with other choices in the area. A huge disappointment.
Kelowna, British Columbia
Orchard Hill RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Great owners, friendly and helpful, a quiet oasis in the hills close to Kelowna amenities. Sites level, gravel, good separation, and great views out front window. Wouldn't stay anywhere else if visiting Kelowna wine country.
Vantage, Washington
Ginkgo Petrified Forest / Wanapum State Park
[ 9/10 ]
Wonderful staff, great park Warden, grass was lovingly cared for, had wind one day only, rest of the time was hot and sunny. Sites are immaculate and it was very quiet- no trains, no freeway noise. Booked three nights, stayed five, will definitely put it on our list of top 5 state parks
Monitor, Washington
Wenatchee River County Park
[ 7/10 ]
Have been here previously in 2006 and 2007, this year, noticed the lack of adequate watering on the site we were given. Had booked three months prior for a waterfront site, only to find we were near the highway, in a different loop- they advised the management had changed, so I suppose that was the reason that someone else had our site. Wireless worked well during the week, didn't handle the load on the weekend. Park seems to have deteriorated a tad from previous years. mostly due to the underground sprinklers not working in a number of places throughout the campground. Still a pleasant spot, but not the 9 it was previously.
Woodburn, Oregon
Portland-Woodburn RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
Had a convenient pull-through site, clean and maintained adequately. Definitely not a destination, but great for the company store shopping right next door. Very friendly and helpful staff, some highway noise, but not problematic.
Canyonville, Oregon
Seven Feathers RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
Definitely a clean, well maintained stay in Oregon. Great staff, wide sites and an overall resort feel. Lots of sun, and only a few shade areas, so be sure to face east to keep your windshield out of the hot summer sun. Stayed here twice last year and definitely will be back.
Paso Robles, California
Wine Country RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Have stayed for five consecutive summers, love the park, clean, well cared for, the best grass at your premium site ! Pool, laundry and wifi are all top notch.
Lincoln City, Oregon
Logan Road RV Park
[ 5/10 ]
Essentially a parking lot, little grass, very close to neighbour, especially if neighbour parks vehicle beside their unit. This really isn't a destination, did not stay, went down the road to outdoor resorts for some grass and less concrete. Staff friendly, no problem leaving early.
Lincoln City, Oregon
Logan Road RV Park
[ 5/10 ]
Overnight use only, essentially a concrete parking lot with a small pitch of poor grass at each site. Not picturesque, close quarters, definitely not a destination. Friendly staff.
Standish, California
Days End RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Neat and clean park, best for overnight - not a destination. Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent pull-through sites. Not much for activities, pet run very clean and large.

A fifteen year old boy operating a dangerous boring machine at which he said a boy recently bored half his hand off. To operate this machine (which bores a large hole in the spade handle) the boy has to throw his whole weight onto the lever which pushes the handle (and himself) up against the unprotected borer. A slip might easily result fatally. Boy earns $1.65 a day. This factory has a number of unprotected belts and dangerous machines. One other boy, about the age of this one, was doing all kinds of work, taking away the handles from a huge rip saw, etc., and constantly exposed to danger. Pittman Handle Factory.

Today's movies show off their visual effects, but back in 1920 director Emmett Lynn used a simple device to enhance the storytelling in his Tom Mix Western The Untamed. A bad guy and his henchmen are sleeping around a campfire; in a series of simple superimposed shots, we see what each man is dreaming about (killing Mix's horse, conquering Tom's girlfriend, etc.). This was an "adult western" in every sense of the term, and not nearly as flamboyant and kid-friendly as Mix's later starring vehicles.
A special guest this year was the former curator of motion pictures for the Museum of Modern Art, Eileen Bowser, whose interest in silent comedies was underscored throughout the weekend with screenings of rare one and two-reel shorts featuring everyone from Stan Laurel to Paul Parrott. The Laurel short, The Pest, was shown in 35mm, which enabled us to read the signage on the streets of Los Angeles where it was filmed, in a newly-built neighborhood filled with young trees and Craftsman-style houses. (Side note for comedy buffs: Florence Vidor's oafish suitor inHail the Woman is played by that stalwart of two-reelers Vernon Dent!)
MoMA's Katie Trainor brought along a reel of tantalizing Clara Bow sequences the archive just acquired. It was apparently assembled decades ago by a projectionist who had access to prints, as many of the films represented are now lost! Katie agreed with my assessment of this as a "Clara Bow fetish reel."
For the fourth year in a row, Ray Faiola compiled an enjoyable hour of coming attractions previews—although some of the programmers they touted looked notably uninviting. And for the third year, Richard Barrios (author of A Song in the Dark) presented musical numbers from a variety of mostly-obscure early talkies. What fun! I was humming "Never Swat a Fly" the rest of the weekend.
It would be impractical to discuss every title on the program, and I had to take periodic breaks for "power naps" to keep up as best I could. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Mack Sennett short Matchmaking Mamma (1928) with radiant young Carole Lombard and Sally Eilers, including a scene in two-strip Technicolor…a demonstration reel of the Multicolor process produced by Howard Hughes…an interesting Paramount feature, The Street of Forgotten Men (1926), featuring Percy Marmont as a successful beggar who uses a Lon Chaney-like device to pretend he is missing one arm…the 1940 version of Gene Stratton Porter's bucolic novel Laddie featuring Tim Holt and a fine supporting cast (which raises the question, where is the 1935 version directed by George Stevens?)…and an amazing new find, in 35mm, featuring the Three Stooges in 1937 promoting a Pillsbury cardboard "movie projector" premium to be given out "in this theater." (If only…)
Even if a film isn't great, or even good, it may have redeeming qualities, like the "swell modernistic house" where Sylvia Sidney and her sorority sisters live in the silly Confessions of a Co-Ed (1931). Bing Crosby and the Rhythm Boys make a brief appearance in a party scene, and the rest of the film features strains of such current songs as "My Ideal," "Just One More Chance," and "When I Take My Sugar to Tea."
Being in a belt-tightening mode these days I didn't buy as much as I have in past years in the dealers' rooms, but there's no charge for browsing, and there was the usual assortment of posters, books, stills, DVDs,16mm prints, and assorted memorabilia. More of the same turned up in the Sunday morning auction, which I conduct, including two unlikely pieces that led to spirited bidding: a box of miscellaneous 16mm shorts, and a Bolex 16mm camera in its original case.
Cinefest 33 will be held next March, and if I've piqued your interest, you really ought to come. It's a wonderful way to escape from the daily grind and see movies you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. I can't say enough about the Syracuse Cinephile Society, whose members put in so much time and effort (securing and shipping prints, booking the hotel and buses to take us to the Palace Theatre, arranging for a box lunch there, manning the registration tables, and more). They deserve praise and thanks for everything they do. For more information, and to sign up for an e-mail list, click HERE.

We have read Mr. Maltin's praises for Cinefest each of the last three years, and even though my wife and I aren't as versed in old time cinema as we should be, we feel it's time for an education - and we'll be there for Cinefest 2013 - already have been making our plans and can't wait to check it out!

I haven't attended in a few years and your after-the-fact comments always make me regret I skipped another year! ALWAYS a lot of fun!

Really , power naps are the secret...? This event sounds first class...Hope to attend one day..The search for early films and their preservation is an important endeavor..The History of the Industry is important and valuable...Helps explain how we got to this point...Maltin is everywhere...Maybe they will have Mamba on TCM...

Yes! Cinefest was another great success in 2012. If you are a fan of Golden Age classics and have yet to attend, do check it out. You will love it. A long time ago, friends bugged me about going to this event for years. When I finally went, I was thrilled by the magic flickers on screen, the friendly people and the fun dealer's room full of cinematic treasures. I have been attending for over 16 years now. Free popcorn too!
