T

Indoor Pool News
Closing for Cleaning. From Jan.
2 through 7, the pool will be closed
for a thorough cleaning. The lap,
social and spa will be drained,
scrubbed, power washed and refilled during this time. The pool
will re-open on Tuesday, Jan. 8.
Hours Extended. At its Dec.
4 meeting, the Education and
Recreation Advisory Committee
passed a resolution which extends
the hours of the indoor swimming
pool. Beginning in January and
lasting through May, on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday the pool
will stay open until 8 PM.
2013 Annual Pool Pass. 2013
annual indoor pool passes are available for purchase in Clubhouse
II beginning Tuesday, Dec. 18
at 8:30 am. Cost of the resident
annual indoor pass is $135; there
will not be a charge for residents
for the outdoor pool. Rates will
be pro-rated quarterly.
Locker Rentals. Men’s locker
and Wolf Blitzer.
Frank’s son Antonio F.
Plumer, 12, began piano studies
at the age of 3. Adopted at the
age of 2 from Bulgaria, Antonio
recently won second place in the
International Protégé Romantic
Music Competition and performed
at Carnegie Hall this past December 2012. Antonio has performed
in over 40 recitals and competitions since 2006, and received first
prizes at many of the competitions,
including the Miriam S. Gottlieb
Competition, Maryland State Solo
Competition, International Young
Artist Competition, and the Washington Music Teacher’s Association Judged Recitals.

room annual locker rentals are
also available to rent. Lockers are
$35; full locker rentals in the men’s
locker room are $65.
Due to an increased number of
locker rentals in the women’s locker room and to better accommodate
all pool users, the Education and
Recreation Advisory Committee
passed a new policy at its Dec.
4 meeting: “On the rows of full
lockers, two will be left un-rented
for daily use. On the rows of half
lockers, the bottom lockers will be
left un-rented for daily use. This
allows for a total of 62 lockers to
be rented. The full lockers will be
$55 to rent for the year; half lockers will be $35 for the year. Those
wanting to rent a locker will also
have to purchase an annual indoor
pool pass.”
In the past, residents who currently
rent a locker have been given first
refusal to that same locker for the
following year. That will no longer be the case. A lottery system
will be used to rent lockers in the
women’s locker room. If you are
interested in renting a locker, you
can drop off a check to the E&R
office at Clubhouse II to be entered
in the lottery drawing for a locker.
You will need to determine which
locker you are interested in, the
$55 or the $35. If you would rather
the $55 but will settle for a $35 if
your name is not drawn for the full
locker, you will need to leave two
separate checks. Only one locker
per resident will be rented. You will
have until Friday, Jan. 4 at noon to
be considered for the initial drawing. If there are any lockers left
after that time, they will be rented
on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once names have been drawn all
residents will be contacted.
Frank’s daughters, Julia
and Cecilia, 9 and 8, have played
Piano Concert & Dedication (Free)
Sunday, Jan. 13 - 2 PM - Clubhouse II Auditorium
The Grand Piano, purchased by
the Foundation of Leisure World
for LW’s exclusive use in our
auditorium, will be dedicated by
a special concert. Why are we
calling this concert “special?” One
reason is that for the first time you
will enjoy the improved musical
quality from the Yamaha Grand
Piano. The second is that the program will feature four of Leisure
World’s own accomplished pianists—Carol Fogel, Jean Raesly,
Printz Sims and Ray Williams, just
returning from their international
Sponsored by the Foundation of Leisure World
concert tour, playing tunes of their
own choosing. Their music will
reflect their personalities and the
selections will be quite different
from each other. You remember
the “Four Tenors?” They would be
overshadowed by Leisure World’s
“Four Pianists.” (Unlike the tenors,
you will remember all four names.)
We guarantee that you will leave
humming some tune.
We look forward to entertaining you; mark the date on your
calendars. There is no charge for
admission or for the foundation’s
reception immediately following,
where you will have an opportunity
to personally converse with the
Four Pianists. The purpose of the
Foundation of Leisure World is, in
brief, to enhance the life of residents and is supported completely
by your tax deductable donations.
The piano was purchased with
these contributions. There will
be no solicitation of funds at the
concert. As we are expecting a large
response, admission is by ticket,
available at the E&R offices in
both Clubhouses, starting at 8:30
am on Wednesday, Jan. 2. Tickets
are limited to two per person.

he Inter-Faith
Chapel will host
its fifth annual
Interfaith Film
Festival this
month. This is our opportunity to show unique feature
films and documentaries that
have a religious, spiritual or
ethical emphasis. Each film
teaches us something about
ourselves and the world
around us. All of the movies
have life situations that confront contemporary issues
that are worthy of thoughtful
discussions. We will premier
a different film at 1 PM each
Wednesday this month. Join
us in the Inter-Faith Chapel’s
Fellowship Hall for the film
festival.
Jan. 9 – “The Odd
Life of Timothy Green”:
After receiving bad news
from a fertility doctor, Cindy
and Jim Green try to bury
their dreams of having a
child by writing out all the
great traits their child would
have and putting them in a
box in the garden. During
a freak storm in the middle
of the night, they awake to
Interfaith Film Festival 2013
Sponsored by the Inter-Faith Chapel
find a boy named Timothy,
with leaves growing from
his ankles, standing in their
kitchen calling them mom
and dad. Cindy and Jim are
thrown into the midst of parenthood and over the coming
months, Timothy will teach
them more than they could
have imagined about being
parents and raising a child,
no matter how he comes into
their lives. The Odd Life of
Timothy Green is an inspiring, magical film that reminds us how sometimes the
unexpected can bring some
of life’s greatest gifts. This
2012 movie has a running
time of 105 minutes.
Jan. 16 – “David”:
As the son of the imam of
the local Brooklyn mosque,
11-year-old Daud has to
juggle the high expectations of his father and his
feelings of isolation and difference–even from his peers
in the Muslim community.
Through an innocent act of
good faith, Daud finds himself among a group of Jewish
boys who mistake him as
a fellow classmate at their
orthodox school in the neighboring Jewish community.
A genuine friendship grows
between Daud and Yoav, one
of the boys, and Yoav’s family. Unable to resist the joy
of a camaraderie that he has
never felt before, David, as he
is known to the kids, is drawn
into a complicated dilemma
fueled by youthful longing
and the best of intentions.
The film is the winner of the
Audience Award, Brooklyn
Film Festival (2011) and the
Ecumenical Prize, Montreal
World Film Festival. It was
released in 2011 and has a
running time of 80 minutes.
Jan. 23 – “God
Grew Tired of Us”: God
Grew Tired of Us is a documentary that follows three
young men from Sudan who
are given the opportunity
to leave the refugee camp
that has become their home
and go to America to start a
new life. It shows the poor
conditions of the refugee
camp and then gives us a
look at the confusion and
surprise that is created as
the young men are given the

the end of the world did not

I can well imagine
that a lot of you got computers or computer equipment
over the holidays and are
busy configuring and unconfiguring them. We plan
to take a look at some of the
new stuff and report on it in
the near future. We will be
planning for some more basic
training courses and Internet
training. We will also start
holding a series of Dropins
from time to time.

you probably saw a lot of

We may try to hold
some kind of orientation
session if there is enough
interest.
If you are interested
in doing some home training
of your own you might want
to take a look at some of the
self-help programs – sometimes referred to as “Professor ****” or something like
that. These programs are
quite useful in helping you
to learn about some piece of
computer software.
Here is a reminder
for you! We have installed a
couple of basic programs on
our computers in the Center
One will help you learn how
to use a typical keyboard;
another shows you how to
use a mouse. Both are quite
good and may give you experience in how to use computer
equipment. Come to one of
our Open Labs and ask one
of our staff how to access
these two programs.
With respect to
learning tools, take a look
at the Google search engine
for areas you want to know
more about. As an example,
one area you will find quite
comprehensive involves
learning how to use alternative keystrokes.
Enough for today
– we are open five days a
week – take a look at the
schedule on the door and on
the bulletin board for times.
Got questions? Ask one of
our staff.
Again, happy New
Year and good computing
in 2013!

modern “conveniences” of
America. Certainly, running
water, grocery stores and
even refrigerators make their
lives better, but the boys also
face unexpected feelings of
isolation, homesickness and
frustration. The filmmakers
do an excellent job of approaching the resettlement of
these “lost boys” with respect
and do not seek to exploit
the naïveté that comes from
their changing life situations.
This is a moving film that ef-
fectively shows the strength
of the human spirit, but also
the importance of our very
different perspectives. The
documentary was released
in 2006. The running time
is 89 minutes.
Jan. 30 – “I Am”: I
Am is the story of a successful Hollywood director, Tom
Shadyac, who experienced a
life threatening head injury,
and his ensuing journey to try
and answer two very basic
questions: “What is wrong
with our world?” and “What
can we do about it?” In this
documentary, Tom visits
some of today’s great minds,
including authors, poets,
teachers, religious leaders
and scientists searches for
the fundamental problem
that causes all of the other
problems, while simultaneously reflecting on his own
life choices of excess, greed
and, eventual, healing. This
2011 film has a running time
of 77 minutes.

FISH Needs You! By Beth Leanza
Right now I have 1 regular/
recurring session available.
Do you want to help FISH?
Are you available (most
months) on the first Wednesday afternoon?
Or would you like to put
your name in as a sub? Subs
are called when needed –
because I do not have a lot,
many “subs” get called a lot!
If you can help, call Beth
Leanza, president of FISH
(301-598-4569).
FISH is a volunteer club
in Leisure World. We lend
assistive equipment (think:
wheelchairs, walkers, commodes, tub stools, as well as
canes, crutches and elevated
toilet seats) to residents and
employees of Leisure World
for one to three months.
(People who need assistive
equipment on a permanent
basis can get their physician
to write a prescription and
Medicare will pay 80 percent
of most assistive equipment.)
The desk is in Clubhouse
II and is open Monday to
Friday from 10 am to 4 PM
(divided into two sessions:
10 to 1 and 1 to 4), except
for major holidays. We can
be reached at 301-598-1320,
(ask the E&R staffer for the
FISH desk.)
Volunteers help people
choose a piece of equipment
from our inventory. Then
the volunteer fills in a loan
sheet and lists the loan on a
log sheet. When equipment
is returned, the volunteer
pulls the loan sheet, marks
it as returned, and files it
with other returns. There is
a little training involved, but
the task is not complicated.
We have a number of (wonderful! generous!) volunteers
who commit to one threehour session per month,
every month – either a morning session or an afternoon
session (10 to 1 or 1 to 4).
But with an active community, other needs and wants
come up and often one of our
regulars is looking for a sub.
Also, almost every month,
there are those “fifth” days
that are still open and we are
looking for subs.
Every once in a while, a
volunteer resigns from his or
her commitment. Right now I
have one regular/recurring
session available. Do you
want to help FISH? Are you
available (most months) on
the first Wednesday afternoon? Or would you like to
put your name in as a sub? If
you think you can help, call
Beth Leanza, president of
FISH (301-598-4569).

most probably influenced
by different factors than
those who purchased prior
to 2010. The survey results
will assist the committee in
its image building and community promotional efforts,
and help design a valuable
communications program.
In general, we learned that
96 percent reported high
current satisfaction levels (meeting or exceeding
expectations). Those still
working displayed a lower
satisfaction level. Community involvement (governing
committees, clubs, etc.) was
found by approximately onethird of this group with those
still working being less likely
to be involved currently.
Current owners were shown
to be a major source of information for new residents.
More than half were familiar
because they were from the
area and importantly had received referrals from friends.
Surprisingly, the Internet was
not highly indicated as an
initial informational source.
Although the Internet was
not primary, a higher percentage may have used this
tool for later specific housing
searches.
Some interesting and useful
findings:
Respondents marked security, beauty of grounds,
family closeness, ownership
ability, and affordability as
the top “Extremely Important” reasons for choosing
Leisure World.
60 percent of this group are
female with an average age
of 72 (five years younger
than a community survey
conducted 10 years ago).
Nearly 70 percent moved
from a single-family home,
13 percent owned a coop or
condo, with the balance in a
rental environment.
Seventy-five percent were
retired and 25 percent worked

full or part time up from 12

Average age of new residents is 70 and were retired
for 10 years.
Seventy-five percent are
from Maryland, five percent
from Virginia, with the remainder showing a scattering
of other states.
Of this group who lived
nearby, 26 percent came from
Silver Spring, 11 percent
from Rockville, and five

balance spread throughout

Dr. Richard Klimek to Address
the Patients Rights Council
of Leisure World by Mary Ann Johnston
The next meeting of the Patient’s Rights Council of Leisure World is Tuesday, Jan.
8 at 1:30 PM in Clubhouse
I. The speaker, Dr. Richard
Klimek, is a clinical psychologist and professor emeritus
at Montgomery College, a
member of the American
Psychological Association
and fellow of the Maryland
Psychological Association.
His areas of interest include
stress management, anxiety
and depression, and chronic
and acute medical problems.
He is director of the Maryland Center for Mind-Body
Healing located in Rockville.
The subject of his talk is
“Healing the Mind, Healing
the Heart.”
Heart disease is the leading
killer in the United States and
evidence has accumulated
to show that psychosocial
intervention focused primarily on emotional issues can
significantly reduce the risk
of coronary artery disease
and heart attacks. Dr. Klimek
will discuss the significant
factors we can address to
increase our health quotient,
improve our immune system
and lower our pain level.
All residents are welcome
at our meetings and our
informative programs; free
literature is available and
books may be borrowed.
We have obtained copies of
a book from the National Institutes on Health and Aging
entitled, “End of Life, Helping with Comfort and Care,”

goal is to provide resources
that are available to us as we
age and help us to cope with
illnesses in a way that will
enable us to enjoy life.
We will start collecting
dues of $10 per year at this
meeting. It is not necessary

Diagnosis Dementia: What Now?
From the Inter-Faith Chapel
The Inter-Faith
Chapel, at 3680 South Leisure World Blvd., will offer a
workshop entitled, “Diagnosis Dementia: What Now?”,
on Thursday, Jan. 17, 10:30
am in the chapel’s Fellowship
Hall. It is open to the Leisure
World Community. Dementia is a disease of the brain
that causes steady decline in
memory. It affects thinking,
remembering and reasoning and is severe enough
to interfere with everyday
life. Anyone can suffer from
dementia. There are different
causes: Alzheimer’s disease,
brain injury, circulatory/vascular problems, Parkinson’s
disease and others.
Do you understand
dementia? Do you recognize
the signs of dementia? Do
you know how to prevent
dementia? Come learn from
an expert who will help you
understand these questions
and how to prepare you and
your loved ones for this stage
of your life.
During this presentation, you will learn
techniques on how to communicate with someone with
dementia, the effects it has
on the body and more, and
have a better understanding
of why they do what they do.
In order to care for someone
properly, this is a seminar you
do not want to miss.
The presenter is
Toni M. Benton, the ex-
ecutive director of Arden
Courts Memory Care Community located in Silver
Spring. She has over 20
years of experience working
with the dementia population
and has worked in many
assisted living communities and nursing facilities
in Montgomery County.
Toni is a highly requested
speaker and has conducted
presentations throughout
the D.C. metropolitan area.
This event is co-sponsored
by Arden Courts, an assisted
living community specializing in memory care, which
promotes independence for
those with dementia.

A Personal View: Call to Action on Gun Violence
By Shirley Henderson, contributing writer
“If we’re going
to change things, it’s
going to take a wave
of Americans—mothers
and fathers, daughters
and sons, pastors, law
enforcement, mental
health professionals and,
yes, gun owners—standing up and saying enough
on behalf of our kids.”
So spoke President Barack Obama as
he introduced a working
group, led by Vice President Biden, tasked with
finding solutions to the
epidemic of gun violence
that has traumatized the
country.
Barely a month
after his reelection to a
second term, the president was thrust into the
role of comforter-inchief following a mass
murder for the fourth
time in his presidency.
He struggled tearfully to
calm a nation bewildered
by the slaughter of 20
little children in their
first-grade classroom.
A troubled 20-year-old
man, armed with an assault rifle and two pistols
in Newtown, Conn., also
killed six adults charged
with their care.
Our country has
been dragged to this
awful place before, but
never so painfully. Never
before has an act of
violence in the U.S.
sunk to such monstrosity, its victims God’s
most cherished, innocent
creations. Massacres in
the past have moved us
momentarily to spasms
of outrage, with little
results. This time, as
the president said, the
“words need to lead to
action.” And to succeed,
all Americans must get
involved.
In the din of the
recent election campaign, many of us may
have forgotten the awful
events that terrorized
our own community 10
years ago, last October.
During a three-week
period, two roving killers shot and killed 10
men and women in the
Washington Metro area
and in Virginia. Among
the victims of the socalled Beltway Snipers
were two men and a
woman in Aspen Hill
(one in the Leisure World
Shopping Center) and a
third man in the parking
lot of Shoppers Food
Warehouse in Wheaton.
The mayhem
visited on our community was unique only in
its duration. Over the
past 30 years, according
to Mother Jones magazine, there have been 61
incidents of gun-related
mass murders in 30 states
in which at least four
people were killed. Of
the 142 weapons used
in those crimes, more
than 60 were assault
rifles—weapons of war,
really—and the type of
guns used by the Beltway Snipers and Adam
Lanza.
In his gun
control message, the
president announced
his intention to call on
Congress to restore the
ban on sales of assault
weapons that expired in
2004, as well as limitations on high capacity
magazines, and stronger
background checks for
gun purchasers.
The president’s
initiative is expected to
include recommendations to address mental
health issues, which
have been identified as
factors in the majority
of mass murders. The
report is also expected
to discuss cultural trends,
such as electronic games,
which, by glorifying
violence, may contribute
to America’s standing
as the world’s leader
in gun-related crimes.
Every parent I know
would welcome some
measurement of the
impact of violent computer games and apps.
In this technical age,
such gadgets are widely
viewed by psychologists
as contributing to the
overall desensitizing
of society—including
many criminal perpetrators.
For the sake of
our families and our
communities, we must
take to heart the chilling
warning by the Beltway
Snipers at the height of
their assault on our community: “Your children
are not safe anywhere at
any time.”
The 30,000 lives
lost to gun violence each
year—including upwards of 20,000 suicides
and accidents—make it
abundantly clear that gun
control is a deadly serious and urgent matter. I
have no argument with
the second amendment.
But powerful advocates
such as the National Rifle
Association who feel
threatened by controls of
any kind ferociously support the growing culture
of guns and violence.
Restoring sanity to our
society will require loud
and persistent demands
for action by the rest of
us who, by far, have the
numbers on our side.

The Never-Bored Board – Rossmoor Woman’s Club of Leisure World
by Stephanie Crissman
The women of Leisure World are an integral
part of our community and work hard throughout the
year to support many local causes and charities. Along
the way, they continue to learn and grow in many ways
— always willing to share their experiences and efforts
on others’ behalf. New members are always welcome,
and their participation in the work and fun is happily
accepted.
The never bored board (of directors) is made
up of just what its name implies — the directors of the
various activities and standing committees which all
help to make the organization interesting and efficient.
Always willing to give of their time and talents, the
board members work in integrated ways to make this
a large and highly successful organization of Leisure
World women. Presently, the never-bored board is
made up of the following—each of whom contributes
greatly to the operation of the whole. Officers include
Stephanie Crissman, president; LeLoy Cottrell, vicepresident; Aggie Eastham, treasurer; Mary Fowler
Cooke, assistant treasurer; Shirley Creed, secretary;
Jean Hitselberger, immediate past president and advisor; and Joan Sumner, chaplain.
Supporting members of the board represent
various activities of the club, and coordinate work of
the standing committees. They are: Art - Joan Reynolds
(notice her beautiful and ever-changing bulletin board
in the hallway of Clubhouse I); Education - Mary Ann
Daley, our representative to Montgomery College,
where we donate scholarships in support of women
students; Fireside Forum - Patty Elton, liaison between
its board and the RWC; Fundraisers - Jean Hitselberger,
responsible for the management of our various fundraising, as well as fun, activities throughout the year; Jean
Hessmann - historian and keeper of the records and
photographs of club events over the years.
Remaining coordinators head the following
activities: Holiday Project - Alice Barnes; Hospitality
- Ingrid Masi; On-campus luncheons - Alice Kaplan
and Dorothy Pollack; Membership - Janet Soslow,
who welcomes those women who indicate an interest
in being a part of our club; LeLoy Cottrell - Membership communications and major producer of the annual

weather. Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday,
Feb. 7 at 10:30 am in Clubhouse I. We are planning to
have at least one outstanding speaker at that time. Meanwhile, we will miss seeing each other, but we wish all

speakers; Special Events Decorations - Barbara Hoffman and fall and spring Vendor’s Sale - Peggy Dayhoff.
Each of these active women plays an important part in
the management of our club.
Rossmoor Woman’s Club enjoyed a lovely
holiday luncheon at the Argyle Country Club earlier in
December, with music provided by pianist Ray Greene.
Coming up in January is our annual brunch
and speaker, to be introduced by our program coordinator and sure to be provocative and interesting to our
members and guests.
February brings our welcome and celebration
of members new to our club this year. To recognize and
honor them, is our New Members’ Tea in Clubhouse
I. This event is our only one open to members only.
In March is our long-awaited Vendors’ Sale,
once again held in Bedford Court.
A guided tour of the Pentagon Memorial with
lunch in a favorite Olde Town Alexandria restaurant
called The Wharf will be our spring trip this year, and
the year will conclude with a luncheon at the Manor
Country Club with a program during which we recognize
and meet the recipients of our Montgomery College
scholarships.
On behalf of the Rossmoor Woman’s Club,
this writer sends holiday greetings, and good wishes
that your new year be productive and “never-boring.”
Safety Tips For Winter Driving
From the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee
Review your Owner’s
Manual or consult with a
respected mechanic with
reference to the following:
• The availability of a
two-wheel or four-wheel
automatic braking system
(ABS).
• Proper maintenance of
the defroster and window
washer.
• Proper procedure for
jump-starting your car.
Here Are Some Tips For
Winter Driving:
• Be sure to buckle up and
require your passengers to
do the same.
• When a snow emergency
is declared, make every effort to avoid driving or allow
extra time to get where you
are going.
• When roadways are icy or
snow covered, anticipate the

existence of “black ice” at
intersections and in shaded
areas of the road.
• Should your car begin to
skid, apply the brakes. If your
automobile is equipped with
four-wheel ABS continue to
press on the brake pedal and
steer in the desired direction. The ABS does cause
pulsations in the brake pedal.
Instinctively (especially
among older drivers) there
is a tendency to pump the
brakes – do not do it. Keep a
firm and continuous pressure
on the brake pedal and steer
in the desired direction!
• Increase following distance between your vehicle
and others on the road. Never
pass a snowplow, salt truck,
or a plow train! A plow train
consists of lead snowplow
that is followed closely by a
second snowplow with the
snowplows angled to move

the snow from the center of
the road to the side of the
road. Snowplow operators
may not see your vehicle.
Stay at least 25 feet or three
car lengths, behind the snow
emergency vehicle.
• Bridges and ramps freeze
first and extra caution is
advised.
• If your car breaks down,
move it as far off the roadway
as possible. The safest place
to wait for help is in your
car. A scarf or cloth hanging
from the front window is recognized as a distress signal.
A Winter Driving Vehicle
Check List:
• In addition to winterizing
your vehicle, take care to
ensure that your window
washer is fully operational
and full of fluid. A passing
vehicle can splash a mixture
of salt, sand, and water that
will block or limit visibility.
It must be washed off immediately.
• Inspect or ask a mechanic
to inspect the tires to be sure
there is adequate tread and
inflation. Radial tires are
recommended for winter
driving.
Page 11
• If you must travel, prepare to leave early and allow
plenty of time to reach your
destination.
• Take time to remove all
ice and snow from your car,
concentrating on the windows, wipers, mirrors and
lights. To reduce the chance
of snow flying off your vehicle while driving, remove
snow and ice from the front
grill, hood and roof. Good
visibility is essential for a
safe journey.
• Do not follow closely behind a vehicle with snow on
the roof or trunk. It may blow
off and hit your windshield.
• Fill up when your tank
is close to half empty. Moist
air in the tank can result in
condensate water as the temperature goes down. Also, it
is a good practice to keep
the tank filled; if there is a
wide spread power outage
the filling stations will not
be able to pump gas.
• Remember that a cold
engine will idle faster than
a warm engine; therefore, it
will move faster than usual
when maneuvering out of a
parking space.

The year 2012
came to a festive finish for
the committee as members
stuffed colorful holiday bags
for Sophia House residents.
One improvement over previous years is that the bags
were made of durable cloth
instead of paper, which gave
the ladies a sturdy container
for which they may find many
uses. Each bag was filled with
the caps, gloves, socks, pens,
paper, calendars and lots of
toiletries. Also for women
in Sophia House shelter this
year, we have planned an
extra hot meal. After every
meal we provide at Sophia
House, we leave juice, cereal
and milk for breakfast the
next morning. And, when
we are able, we purchase
socks and T-shirts for men
and women.

to start the new school year.
I have been asked
to comment on the things
deposited in the barrels in
the Narthex of the Interfaith
Chapel: these barrels are for
the collection of toiletries.
They are labeled “Men’s”
and “Women’s.” Please make
sure that the toiletries containers have not been opened.
Please do not put clothes in
those barrels. We are surely
grateful for clothing donations. They may be left in
receptacles inside the door,
which is beyond the main
entrance. Someone will see
to it that all clothes are delivered to the Interfaith Clothing
Center for distribution.
We have always
appreciated monetary donations. Each donation we re-
ceive is counted as a blessing
in helping a person achieve
a new perspective on life.
Please send your checks to
the Interfaith Chapel, 3680
S. Leisure World Blvd.,
On the memo line of the
check, please designate “for
the Homeless and Working
Poor.”
We can accomplish
so much when we work as
a team. Thank you all very
much for all you do! Happy
New Year!

Library News
By Dena Leep
The volunteers
who work in the library—
the Library Guild—recently had one of its
quarterly meetings. It was
followed by lunch. Yum.
Reports were given by
various committees. One
of the welcome reports
was that all but a few
boxes of Christmas cards
have been sold. Thank
you to all of you out there.
A discussion was
held about various ways
we could raise more
money—to buy books.
Some very interesting
ideas were presented.
More discussion will fol-
low on this subject.
Now, onto the
matter of books. We have
several new non-fiction
books to talk about this
time. Many of our readers
prefer non-fiction.
A non-fiction
memoir is “Elsewhere”
by Richard Russo. The
Pulitzer Prize winner
of fiction now turns to
memoir in a moving and
surprising account of
his life, his parents, and
the upstate New York
town they all struggled
to escape.
“Jack Kennedy”
by Cris Matthew, is subtitled “Elusive Hero.”
What was he like, this
man whose own wife
called him “that elusive
unforgettable man?” It is
based on personal interviews with those closest
to him, oral histories and
notes from Jackie Kennedy’s first interview
after Dallas.
Another non-fiction is “No Easy Day,”
a first hand account of
the mission that killed
Osama Bin Laden. Written by Mark Owen and
Kevin Maurer. Owen
was a Navy Seal and this
is a first hand account of
the planning execution
of the event. The author
describes previously unreported missions of a
Seal. He leaves readers
with a deep understanding of the warriors who
keep America safe.
Lastly, we have
“The Fall of Berlin 1945”
by Antony Beevor. It
is another book by the
author of “The Second
World War.” This is a
gripping portrait of the
days in Berlin when the
Red Army and the Nazi
forces clashed for a final
time. The result was the
most gruesome display
of the war. Sure to appeal
to all readers of military
history and the Second
World War.
The one fiction
book we will mention
is “Dear Life” by Alice
Munro. It is a new collection of stories by one
of the acclaimed writers
of our time, while most
of the stories take place
in Munro’s native Canada—the small towns
around Lake Huron—
sometimes the characters
venture into the large
cities. The stories have an
autobiographical feeling.

Physical
Properties
Call Backs
Have
you
ever called Physical
Properties with an issue
that needed resolution
only to be told,
“Leave your name and
number and someone
will call you back?”
That happened to me
recently and when I
did not receive a call
back, I called again and
again, speaking to two
different people who
continued to provide the
same standard response.
After several
frustrating days of
waiting for a call back,
I appeared in person at
Physical Properties to
resolve my issue which
involved a billing for
plumbing services. I
was told again to leave
my name and number
and someone would call
me back. When I asked
who that someone
I
would be, I was given
a name. After again
waiting days for a call,
I reappeared at Physical
Properties
to
voice
another complaint about
the lack of any response.
I was told to wait,
because someone would
come out and speak to
me which, after several
agonizing minutes, he
did. My first question
was, “Why haven’t you
ever called me back?”
His response was that he
was too busy to be calling
people back. He went
on to say that his desk
was covered with work
and, it would be weeks
before he could get back
to me. He also stated that
to resolve my issue, he
wanted to speak to the
plumber who performed
the work and that he
would call me back after
that conversation. Well,
you guessed it. I’m still
waiting to hear from
Physical Properties.

Cable TV Index
We, residents,
have Cable TV service
under a bulk contract with
Comcast, Inc. It presently
gives us programming
from 175 different named
sources, none premium.
Of those named, 95 are
SD (standard definition)
only. Six are HD (high
between SD and HD. Both
would also clue the type
of programming for each
source. Each index should
be dated and should be no
larger than one standard
8-1/2” by 11” page. I
have drafted two such
indexes to furnish that
information. I will submit
them to the general man-
ager and to the Leisure

Committee for possible
publication in the Leisure World News. Any
comments or suggestions are to be directed to
them, not to me. Please

Fun and Fancy Notes by Allan Okin
n this first edition of
Leisure World News
of 2013, our club
wishes everyone a
healthy and happy
New Year! We are also
pleased to announce that
the play reading committee
recommended
to
the
board of directors four
contemporary
comedies
that we have never
before produced. Prior
to Christmas, the board
selected the 1986 Drama
Desk
award-winning
comedy, Social Security, by
Andrew Bergman, a noted
author, screenwriter, and
film director, who has been
cited by New York Magazine
as “the unknown king of
comedy.” Social Security
ran for 366 performances
(a solid run for a nonmusical), was directed by
Mike Nichols, and starred
Marlo Thomas, Ron Silver,
and Olympia Dukakis. In
its review, the N.Y Post’s
critic said “...The play is
a hoot, and better yet, a
sophisticated, even civilized
hoot.” Bergman’s original
screenplay,
“TexX,”
became the basis for Mel
Brooks’ classic western
spoof, “Blazing Saddles,”
which he co-adapted for the
screen. He also co-wrote
the screenplays for “The
In-Laws,” “Fletch,” and
“Soapdish.”
We will keep you
“in the know” with more
about this show, to be
performed on two weekends
in May, in this column.
Just as you read
this, we will be holding our
monthly meeting/show on
Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 7:30
PM in the auditorium. Nena
McMahill is producing/
directing “Something New
for the New Year,” with an
all-star cast. Nena heard our
clarion call and volunteered
to be at the helm of the show
after a long hiatus. Songs

Camera Club Begins Ambituous Year of Shootings
and Hangings through the lens of Stu Lillard and Julie Thomas
n Thursday morning, Jan. 3 from
10 to 11, club
members will
change the photography
in the corridor outside the
Maryland Room of Clubhouse I, under the direction
of Ray Kurlander. Please
bring one new photo to
replace the December entry
or to add to the collection.
For those members who
have prints of “Leisure
World Residents in Action,”
please contact Fred Shapiro
O
and bring one entry to the
LW library on Friday afternoon, Jan. 4. The library
prints should be mounted
in 11 x 14 inch frames, if
possible.
Brenda Gillum will lead off
the second Tuesday program, Jan. 8 in Clubhouse
II, beginning at 7 PM with
“Nature Photography Tips.”
Gillum writes, “To be a
good nature photographer,
you not only need camera
gear, but also knowledge
of your subject and the in’s
and out’s of how to use all
that special gear. As one
who specialilzes in nature
photography, I will discuss
some of the things I do.
Some of my tips include
listening to photo podcasts,
reading photo magazines,
ebooks and Internet blogs,
and taking lots of photos!”
She continues, however, “I
never mindlessly press the
shutter button. It helps to
have some ‘focus’ or ‘plan
of attack’ while being open
to good shooting opportuni-
ties you didn’t anticipate.”
To illustrate her method of
attack, Gillum has included
a photo of a male Big Horn
sheep, which won her first
place in the March 2012
club competition on Curves.
The club competition for
January is on the fourth
Tuesday, Jan. 22, with an
open theme. This means
that any theme goes! An
open competition is also a
good time to correct some of
the weaknesses from former
thematic competitions and
re-enter them. The judge for
this competition is Robert J.
“Bob” Leonard of Deale on
the Chesapeake Bay.
The February theme for
competition is night photography and the March
theme is photojournalism.
Get busy and out under
the stars. April will be the
year-end competition from
former winners throughout
the year. By way of definition, night photography is
defined as “an outdoor image with no lighting from
the sun. Natural lighting
can come from the moon,
stars, volcanoes, lightening
and artificial lighting from
flash, lanterns, street lights,
fire. No sunrises or sunsets
are permitted.”

“Noodle” - An Award-Winning Israeli Film
Presented by JRLW and Coming of Age Program - By David Firestone
When the Chinese woman working in
Israel for Miri Kalderon,
an Israeli flight attendant,
is suddenly deported for
overstaying her work
visa, her lack of Hebrewlanguage skills makes
it impossible for her
to convince the Israeli
authorities that she has
a young child with her.
Miri, twice widowed
because of the ongoing Arab-Israeli wars,
has been going through
the motions of living,
somehow detached from
a real connection to life
itself. Her decision to
help reunite the child,
nicknamed “Noodle “
with his mother, now
back in Beijing, ends up
helping her, not just the
boy and his mother, in
ways Miri herself could
not have expected.
The film will be
shown in Clubhouse II
auditorium on Tuesday,
Jan. 29, 1 to 2:40 PM,
followed by a film discussion from 2:45 to 3
PM). Tickets are available at E&R Office in
Clubhouse I for $6 per
person, check only payable to JRLW. The film
(2007, 101 minutes) is
in Hebrew with English
subtitles.
Mili Avital (pictured) stars as Miri Calderone and Chen Baoqi is
Noodle. Mili Avital was
born in Jerusalem, the
daughter of graphic designers Noni and Iko Avital. She was raised in Tel
Aviv and Ra’anana,
attending the Thelma
Yellin High School of
Arts in Giv’atayim. She
moved to New York in
1994, and continues
to reside in New York
City with her husband,
screenwriter Charles
Randolph, and their son
and daughter.
As one of the
most highly regarded
actresses in her native
Israel, Avital has created
international success
with her diverse starring
roles in film, television
and theater. She began
her professional career
during her senior year
in high school in the
play “Dangerous Liaisons” at the Cameri
Theater in Tel Aviv.
In 1993 she arrived in New York City
to study acting at the
“Circle in the Square
Theatre School.” The following year, discovered
by an agent while working as a waitress, she
was immediately cast as
the female lead in “Stargate” (1994), for which
she received a Sci-fi
Universe award. She has
appeared in films such
as Jim Jarmusch’s “Dead
Man” opposite Johnny Depp, Doug El-
ling’s “Kissing a Fool”
and “Polish Wedding,”
and Robert Benton’s
“The Human Stain” and
“When Do We Eat?” Her
television work includes
portraying Scheherazade
in the Emmy-nominated
ABC miniseries “Arabian Nights” to rave reviews; Jon Avnet’s “Uprising” and “After the
Storm.” In 2009-2010,
Avital has appeared in the
FX TV show “Damages”
in a recurring role as the
mistress to the husband
of Patty Hewes (Glen
Close). She appears in
the ABC television “666
Park Avenue.”

LW Association for African American Culture
A message from Roberta D’Oyen, LWAAAC
president:
“Happy New Year. On behalf of the entire membership, family and friends of LWAAAC I extend to each
member of the Leisure World community a wish and a
prayer for a year of good health, a modicum of wholesome prosperity, full accessibility to affordable health
care, human justice, peace, civility, and world peace that
allows dignity, freedom and equality for all. I also want to
thank publicly the Leisure World community for all the
support and friendship afforded our organization over the
past year. You contributed to the success of our programs
and we look forward to an informative and fun-filled
new year. This year, 2013, is special for other reasons:
the public inauguration of the 44th president, Barack H.
Obama, falls on the same date designated as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Jan. 21. Therefore, the collaborative
working group of the Interfaith Chapel, LWAAAC, Leisure World and the Leisure World Chorale have canceled
the usual program and brunch. We each will plan days of
service and other programs during Black History Month
and through the year to commemorate Dr. King’s birth
date. The new dates will be announced.
It is our belief that if Dr. King were still with
us, he would be overjoyed to think that our country had
made such strides that the son of mixed parentage, born
in Hawaii, could rise to the rank of president of the United States, and be judged not by the color of his skin, but
by the content of his character. We want all Americans
and the world to watch from the comfort of their homes,

the stands of the parade, or the Capitol the swearing-in
and the many balls. Let us adopt the drum major instinct
and join Dr. King in his desire to be on the right side for
love, justice, peace, truth and the commitment to others to
make this old world a new world.
Please join us. Board meetings are
open to all members and this club is open to all residents.
[email protected].”
Brief Notes: Our display case in Clubhouse I
currently features information on African American holiday traditions like Kwanzaa, and black Jews and Hanukkah.
The next meeting of the board is scheduled for
Wednesday, Jan. 9 at 4 PM in Clubhouse II. Members are
welcome to attend.

Republican Club of Leisure World
What Went Wrong? A Review of the 2012 Election
The next meeting of the Republican Club of Leisure World is Monday, Jan. 21 at 1:30 PM in Clubhouse I.
The Republican National Committee has launched
an official review of the 2012 election, and the Leisure
World Republican Club members will find out about this
at its next meeting. The effort, known as the Growth and
Opportunity Project, will be chaired by five GOP leaders
and is charged by RNC Chairman Priebus with initially
reviewing past practices and also making critical recommendations for the future in these eight key areas: 1)
campaign mechanics and ground game; 2) messaging; 3)
fundraising; 4) demographic partners and allies; 5) third
party groups; 6) campaign finance issues; 7) presidential
primaries; and 8) lessons learned from Democratic campaign tactics. Our speaker will inform us about this effort
at our next meeting.
At our last meeting, the club celebrated the season with a holiday party. Like last year, Karen Collins led
us in the singing of carols. Members brought holiday food
delights. They socialized and got to know each other better. They even played bingo (it was well run by our past
president, Mary Ann Johnston).
Members were presented with a questionnaire
and asked to make comments in connection with the
following headings: “1. Suggestions for Improvement,”
“2. Recommendations for Programs,” and “3. Ways to
Volunteer.” Many valuable ideas were offered.
We are involved in a membership drive. Help us
by bringing someone new to our meeting. Since over 1500
Republicans live in Leisure World, there are hundreds of
Republican neighbors from which to choose. If you need
help finding out about your Republican neighbors, con-
By Fred Seelman tact Fred or Mary Ann by email or phone (as set out next
paragraph). They have the names and addresses of all
LW Republicans and can tell you who your Republican
neighbors are.
Nominations for officers for the coming year will
be made at our next meeting.
Some local Republican positions are still open:
club officer, precinct chairman at Clubhouse II and in the
Republican Senior Coalition. Persons who want to volunteer
or have questions about these things should contact our
president, Fred Seelman by emailing him at fseelman@
gmail.com or Mary Ann Johnston, our past president and
corresponding secretary, by calling her at 301-598-0647.
Join us for another quality event on Jan. 21; expand
your political horizons and enjoy both the conversation
and pastries and coffee.

Parkinson’s Support Group
By Manny Horowitz
The next meeting
of the Leisure World Parkinson’s Support Group
is scheduled for Tuesday,
Jan. 8 in Clubhouse II at
3 PM. Instead of a guest
speaker, we plan to have
a roundtable discussion
by members on topics of
interest to Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers.
To facilitate a
lively discussion, we
are asking the members
to come to the meeting
with a written question
or statement related to the
symptoms, diagnosis or
treatment of Parkinson’s
disease. Caregivers are
encouraged to discuss issues and experiences that

they have encountered
in caring for Parkinson’s
patients.
Over the past
years, our guest lecturers
have discussed more than
20 symptoms related to
Parkinson’s disease. If
you have been able to
minimize or eliminate
any of your symptoms,
we would like to hear
about your experience.
In most patients, the disease remains undetected
for some time, while
damaging brain neurons
because the symptoms
do not become apparent
early in the disease.
The medication
that we take, Carb/Levo
dopa, is not a cure for
Parkinson’s disease but,
hopefully, it slows the
progression of the disease.
The gold standard medi-
cation for Parkinson’s
disease is Carb/Levo dopa
25/100. In some patients,
the neurologist has also
prescribed another medication such as Azilect. If
the medication you have
been taking has been
successful in slowing the
progress of the disease,
minimizing the adverse
effects of some of the
symptoms, please share
this information with us.
If the medication has not
been helpful, we would
also want to learn about
your experience.
Some of our
speakers have stressed
the importance of exercise
for Parkinson’s patients.
If you have established
an exercise routine that
has been helpful in reducing the adverse effects of
some of your symptoms,
we would welcome this
information during the
discussion period.
There are a good
number of very interesting and fruitful Parkinson’s disease research
programs seeking a more
rapid and accurate diagnosis and, ultimately,
a cure for this disease.
Parkinson’s disease was
first reported by Dr. Par-
kinson in England in
1817. So a cure for the
disease has been a long
time in coming. It is not
an easy problem to solve
even with modern science and technology. If
you have read of some
interesting research, why
not summarize the findings for us. If you give
us the name and address
of the project leader, we
will contact him/her as a
possible speaker at one of
our meetings.
Please make an
effort to attend this meeting. We would like you to
contribute to its success.
Shredding Availability
Consumer fraud
and identity theft are becoming an epidemic in our
society. Therefore, management has contracted
with the Shred-It Company to provide residents
with a safe and secure
manner by which they
may have their personal
documents destroyed.
This service is available
on site, free of charge, on
a regular basis.
Secure, locked
consoles are located in
the lobbies of the Administration Building, both
clubhouses and PPD.
The consoles, which are
three feet high and 20
inches wide, have a 1-1/2
inch slot that is capable of
accepting up to 400 pieces
of paper at a time. Once
papers are deposited in
the console, they fall into
a blue bag, which cannot
be removed except by
unlocking the console.
No one will see or touch
your documents after
they have been placed
in the locked shredding
container. Every week,
a Shred-It representative
picks up the blue bags
from inside the consoles,
seals them and transports
them to a mobile shredding truck in the Leisure
World parking lot. The
bags are emptied behind
a locked security screen
into a shredding hopper,
which shreds everything
into fine confetti.
Please note that
staples, paper clips, and
binder clips do not need
to be removed. However,
please do not bring items
that go in your regular
recycling, such as newspapers and magazines.

Compassion & Choices
- Reminder
By Rosalind Kipping, president
The next meeting of Compassion &
Choices is on Wednesday, Jan. 16 at 2 PM in
Clubhouse I. Come early
to take materials from our
resource tables.
Phyllis Langton,
author of “Last Flight
Out: Living, Loving and
Leaving,” is our guest
speaker. She will share
her story of the journey
she traveled with her
husband George as he
slowly succumbed to
Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS), also
known as Lou Gehrig’s
or motor neuron disease.
ALS is a cruel neurological illness in which
a normally functioning
intellect becomes trapped
in an increasingly weak
and eventually paralyzed
body. You will be able to
purchase a copy of the
book at this meeting.
Sharing stories
helps us to think about
what choices we would
make in various circumstances. It helps us to
prepare both emotionally and intellectually for
what may come to pass.
All residents and
their guests are invited.
Please join us.

pre-bowl the games. The
bowler must make an
appointment to pre-bowl
their league games and
the bowler must pay for
the pre-bowls when they
return to bowl the next
week. If you pre-bowl,
please give a copy of your
pre-bowl scores to the
counter person and have
it placed in the Leisure
World League envelope.
This will ensure that the
pre-bowled scores will be
recorded properly against
the scheduled opposing
teams score.
The league will
bowl every Friday morning at 9:45 at Bowl
America, 1101 Clopper
Road, Gaithersburg. The
cost for the three games
of bowling, the use of
bowling shoes and balls,
and unlimited cups of
coffee is only $9. If you
are interested, please call
Rita at 301-814-9196.
You do not need
to be a good bowler to
join. Come and join us
for fellowship, fun and
easy exercise. There is no
long-term commitment.

L.W. Golf News
As Reported by Rita Molyneaux
“Tee It Forward” – In July 2012,
the USGA and the PGA
of America partnered to
support “Tee it Forward,”
an initiative to encourage golfers to play the
golf course at a length
that is aligned with their
average driving distance.
Their rationale being that
golfers will experience a
new approach to the game
and will thus certainly

enjoy it more.
In line with this,
they have set up a chart
with recommended 18
hole yardages for driver
distances. If a golfer
here in Leisure World
hits drives an average of
less than 200 yards that
golfer should play from
a course of 4400-4600
yards. Leisure World tees
(back) are 5142 and Red
(front) 4722. BINGO!
Most of us geezer guys
should be playing from
the Forward tees. And
what is stopping most of
us from doing just that? It
is the biggest three-letter
word in the dictionary –
EGO!
There are a lot
of golfers, and the writer
was one of them, who
would see an ad for
a “new and improved
driver for only $300
guaranteed to add 10
yards to your drives.”
Now, if you are one of
those guys, get the extra
10 yards by moving to the
forward tees, take the 300
bucks you just saved by
not buying the driver and
take your wife and two
best friends to dinner at
Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse
or Normandie Farms.
For so long the
forward tees – red – have
been referred to as the “ladies tees.” The writer remembers the first time he
played the forward tees,
he was furtively looking
around to see who might
be watching. But many
rounds later, enjoying the
game more than he had
for some time, laughing
quietly while waiting by
the forward tee on the
15th hole and waving
way back to his partners
on their tee in the distance, any apprehension
about playing from the
red tees vanished forever.
Our neighbors
across the street at Manor
Country Club have five
sets of tees from 6700
yard to 5100 yards. Leisure World has two sets
– 5140 and 4700. If the
guys are reluctant to play
the Red (forward) tees, a
new set, silver, could be
placed one yard behind
the red tees to assuage
the ego of those that have
been reluctant to move
forward. But why spend
the money – swallow
your pride and get a life.
Finally, to quote
Barney Adams of Adams
Golf, “By playing from
the forward tees, amateur
golfers have a chance to
play the course at the
same relative distance
as a touring professional
would over 18 holes.”
So, as the New Year approaches let a lot of us
resolve to “Tee it Forward”! Your handicap
will be lowered by one
or two points but your
enthusiasm and enjoyment of the game will
grow several notches.

Larsen for submitting this
gutsy article. Rebuttal

About Our New
Handicap System - If
you posted a score in
late October, you found
yourself looking at a
new Handicap Posting
Screen. In the past, all
of our scores, handicaps,
reports and tournament
data was based and stored
on our computer. This
new system is set up
differently. It stores all
handicap data offsite,
or as they say, “in the
Cloud.” Everything, except our tournament data,
can only be accessed
through the Internet. This
presents our system with
several problems. The
computer we have is
several generations old
and does not have enough
memory (the ability to
perform multiple functions at the same time)
to process this task.
This makes, as you may
have experienced, every
step very slow. Another
problem is we have inconsistent access to the
Internet. These problems
are being dealt with by
your Board of Governors
and we expect to be up
and running smoothly in
time for our 2013 Golf
Season.

Coming to Terms With America’s
Foreign Policy by David Frager, CLL
Beginning
in
March, E&R and the Center for Lifetime Learning
(CLL) will be presenting
the 2013 version of the
Foreign Policy Association’s (FPA) Great Decisions series. The FPA’s
discussion group has identified three significant factors that help to explain
our turbulent world: sovereignty, resources and
tribalism. Perhaps a fourth
factor will be identified
later this year.
The class will
meet weekly for eight
consecutive weeks. A text
prepared by the Foreign
Policy Association will be
the basis for course dis-
cussions. Each of six topics is discussed in depth
using FPA materials and
additional
experiences
and materials brought to
the seminars by the participants. Check Community Classes and Seminars
in the Jan. 15 issue of the
Leisure World News and
the CLL website http://
www.cllmd.com for more
details on discussion topics and when and how to
register for this class.
The class leader
is David Frager, a Leisure
World resident. He is a
docent at the Smithsonian
Institution’s National Museum of American History
and taught for three years
at the National Defense
University during a career at the Department of
Defense. Mr. Frager led
the 2010, 2011, and 2012
discussions of Great Decisions and has taught two
classes on American History for the CLL.

on Thursday, Dec. 20 and
it was a great one. We
sure closed the year with
a bang!
Poor Lee Hardy
wept about her winter
cold with all of the misery
that it brought. Finally
as she sat in bed moping
she demanded that it go
away!
Ron Davis has
been offered a job teaching poetry to attentive,
appreciative students,
in pleasant surroundings but the position has
very little remuneration.
He asked the question
“what to do?” in his usual
poetic way. We, in our
inimitable style told him
to take it.
Danuta Monterfano took us on a tour
of a Kenyan savannah
resplendent with lions
eating a wildebeest with
a salivating hyena in the
distance, resting chee-
tahs, giraffes walking
gracefully about. There
were also water buffalo,
zebras, elephants and
jumping gazlles and impalas. Hippos submerged
in muddy water yawned,
baboons groomed each
other as the sun set over
a lone Acacia tree. Her
husband, Carlos, told in
verse of his nightmare.
He was young, handsome, witty, kind, had
a wonderful way with
women but the horror of
it was that he could not
write in prose. To a poet
a terrifying experience.,
Mary
Zenchoff’s wonderful Waltruda, the recalcitrant
mouse, announced that
she has decided to take a
mouse cruise in order to
get away from her husband whom she dearly
loves but who bores her
at times. She knows that
she does not mean to be
mean but is only seeking
outlets for her creative
spirit. A few questionable
activities are involved
in her preparations but,
Waltruda tells herself that
“everything I do is for the
good of others.” Hmmm.
Jane Hawes put
us into stitches of laughter with her tale of holiday
curses that have befallen
her. Thanksgiving is the
worst when it comes to
automobiles. Over the
years she has driven over
a beer bottle and gotten
a flat tire while retrieving a necessary recipe
ingredient from the store.
The next year she hit a
tree that jumped off the
curb at her; another year
she caused a 15-car pile
up on 95 in a snowstorm
Thanksgiving eve; and,
as a grande finale, Jane
sped backwards through
a closed garage door and
demolished her sister’s
brand new Peugot. She
has not driven on this
holiday since.

of embracing life was
Verna Denny’s topic.
Sounds and repetitious
beats turn into music in
Verna’s head and make
her want to dance.
Bird’s songs,
silly cell phone conversations, and street performer’s jokes all make
her acutely aware of the
wonderful embrace of
life.
Have those of
you from NYC ever heard
of the “The Checkerboard Restaurant?” It was
on Broadway and 49th
Street. Norman Ochs
told us all about it. It was
famous in the ‘30s. A full
three-course dinner cost
$3, there was a man who
checked ID’s at the door,
and the inside was replete
with the checkerboard
motif, it seated about 300.
It was a fun place. After
WWII started, it became
a USO and then when
the USO was no longer
needed Longchamps (ah!
I remember Longchamps
in the 60’s) took it over.
Sadly, all are gone.
Tom Anessi assumed his “Nom de
Plume,” Frank Vitto,

It describes the conflict
between good and evil by
presenting a life altering
decision that is defined
by an unchangeable act.

Reminder: General meeting Thursday,
Jan 17, 10:30 am, Clubhouse II. Speaker, Jim
Ritz.
Problem: Submitted by an owner of a
new printer. This printer/
scanner model XXX has
been in use since November. Only two color prints
have been made. Yet
despite the very limited
use of ink color, the Ink
Supply status indicator
shows almost a complete
use of each of the black
and color cartridges.
Such a fast use of
ink cartridges indicates
some failure. Why is the
ink supply being used so
rapidly? Is it because they
are included as samples?
To buy and install five
new ink cartridges is
costly! Is there anything
wrong with the printer/
scanner?
Reply: New
printers and ink usage.
When you install the initial set of ink cartridges
that is shipped with the
printer, the ink delivery
system that channels the
ink from the cartridge to
the print head must be
primed (filled with ink).
Because a portion of these
initial cartridges will be
used to perform this func-

Our Goal is to Provide the Very Best Care and Service
tion, it will appear that
there is a reduced supply
of ink, even though only a
minimum amount of typing or printing of photos
has taken place. However,
subsequently changed
cartridges will last longer
than the originals (the ink
delivery system only has
to be primed one time).
General Information: Most of us have
a printer that uses ink
cartridges specifically designed for its companion
printer. The following information pertains to most
printers using cartridges.
1. Replacing cartridges. Generally you
will recognize the need to
replace a cartridge when
the print becomes lighter
or mostly blank. Some
printers have a built-in
program that shows when
the ink supply is low or
exhausted. Typically, the
need for change becomes
self-evident.
Do not pull the
expended cartridge until
you have a replacement
at hand. That is because
when the time comes for
replacement, you will
want to remember exactly
how the old cartridge
slipped into its place in the
structure. Practice pulling
and replacing a few times
until you are confident of
the procedure.
Do not open ink
cartridges packages until
you are ready to install the
ink. Cartridges are vacuumed packed to maintain
reliability.
Remove the exhausted cartridge
With a new cartridge at hand, peel off
the protective tape covering the nozzles. Do not
remove any other labels
or seals, or ink may leak.
Insert the new
cartridge. Turn the printer
on. A suction or charging
will begin readying the
ink supply. This charging
action may take about two
minutes. If everything
seems well in order but
the unit will not print,
pull out the printer CD
that came with the printer
and reinstall the software.
Some times a Driver may
fail or may have been
dropped from the System
folder. That is often the
case when a System is
reinstalled. If the System
is to be reinstalled, be
certain to take the option
“Install and Archive” that
will save special Drivers,
etc.
2. To ensure that
you get the most out of
your cartridges, be certain
to turn the printer off when
not in use. If the power
is left on constantly, or
turned off with a surge
protector, the print head
remains exposed to the
air, which can cause the
ink to dry out. If you turn
the power off by the power
button on the printer, the
print head gets capped,
which prevents the ink
from drying on the print
head.

Chess in 2012 and Beyond
By Bernie Ascher and Pat Leanza
According to the
laws of physics, time flows
steadily and continuously
without end. Mankind has
chosen to organize the
world into time zones and
to divide time into convenient periods of 365 days.
This enables mankind to
celebrate the end of one
period and the beginning
of the next in each of the
time zones. As you can
see, it is just an excuse
for arranging parties and
for selling noisemakers
and confetti, but mostly
for holding parties.
It has also become customary during
this time of year for the
media to review the most
important events of the
outgoing year, as well as
the best movies, the best
new songs, the most popular books, etc. In keeping
with this custom, the LW
Chess Club presents the
most unusual game of
2012.
This is why the
game is the most unusual.
It is not uncommon for
players to promote a
Pawn to a Queen during a
game. However, it is less
likely for both players to
promote a Pawn and it
is rare that both players
end the game with two

Queens each—and that a
checkmate takes place in
the middle of the board. In
the chess diagram on this
page (courtesy of chesslab.com) that is exactly
what happened.
While you are
studying the board, let us
remind you that all you
have to do to play a good,
relaxing and challenging
game of chess is to drop by
Clubhouse II at 1 to 4 PM
on Monday, Wednesday
or Friday. Membership is
free and all are welcome.
For more information,
call Club President Bernie
Ascher (301-598-8577) or
Activities Chairman Pat
Leanza (240-242-4516).
Here is how it
happened. In the diagram,
Black has just moved his
King from h7 to g8 to
protect his Rook (at f8).
White cannot find a safe
square for his Queen to
check the Black King.
He decides to protect his
Pawn (at b7) by moving
the Queen to c7. (The
White Pawn is threatening
to be promoted to Queen.)
Black responds by capturing White’s Knight at g3.
This was the 57th move
of the game. On the 58th
move, White brings his
Pawn from b7 to b8, promoting it to a Queen. At
this point White has two
Queens on the board.
However, this allows
Black to capture the Pawn
at f2, double-checking the
White King (at g1) with
both the Pawn and the
Queen and threatening
the Bishop (at e1). White
cannot capture the Black
Pawn with the Bishop
because the King would
still be in check by the
Black Queen. So White is
forced to move the King
to f1, whereupon Black
8
moves his Queen to g1,
checking the King and
leaving White with only
one legal move—moving
the King to e2. Black then
captures the White Bishop
at e1, promoting his Pawn
to a Queen and checking
the White King at the
same time. At this point
there are four Queens
on the board. White can
only move the King to
d3. Black then moves his
Queen from e1 to d1, again
"Take Charge
of Your
Rehabilitation"
checking the King, whose
only move is to e4. Black
then wins the game by
moving his other Queen
from g1 to d4, checkmate! Even if the White
King moves to c3 or c4
instead of e4, Black wins
by checkmate at d4. Thus,
Black wins by checkmate
in the middle of the board,
while White’s two Queens
are standing idle at the
other end.
The game could
have taken on a different
complexion if White had
used his Queen to capture
Black’s Pawn at g3 on
the 58th move instead
of promoting his Pawn
(Queening). However,
Black would still have
gained the upper hand
following an exchange of
Queens at g3.
A most unusual
game! So do not procrastinate. Resolve to play more
chess next year! Cheers!

by Al Karr (301-598-5077, [email protected])
We had our little
Christmas-HanukkahKwanzaa party with cake,
cookies and ice cream
on Dec. 18, but that did
not mean we skipped the
jokes altogether. Or the
singing.
We did not.
We also talked
about prospects for tak-
ing in another dinnerand-comedy show in the
Keystone state sometime
in the months ahead,
perhaps Run for Your
Wife at the Dutch Apple
in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in February (though
probably too soon to plan
for that), or Menopause
or Unnecessary Farce,
both also in Pennsylvania,
later. The day trips are,
again, being honchoed by

from 1:30 to 3 PM (that

party/meeting, we sang,
led by Roy Rosfeld, Jingle
Bells and Let There Be
Peace on Earth, skipping
the sacred I Saw Mommy
Kissing Santa Claus.
President Sam
Hack, resident Hebrew
scholar for the club, explained Hanukkah thusly:
In 165 B.C., the GreekSyrians occupied Palestine, banned Judaism
and sought to “Hellenize”
the Jews. Judah Maccabee formed a Jewish
army in the name of God
and successfully fought
the Syrians (though the
war continued for some
years). During the battle,
what was normally only
one day’s supply of oil
for the lamps lasted eight
days, so Jewish people
honor God at Hanukkah
by lighting a new candle
every night for eight
nights, celebrating the
recapture of Jerusalem
and the rededication of
the Second Temple.
Christmas needs
no explanation. But Sam
did observe: “Roses are
red, violets are bluish. If
it weren’t for Christmas,
we’d all be Jewish.”
And gave proof
that Jesus was Jewish:
He went into his father’s
business, lived at home
till He was 35, thought
His mother was a virgin,
and His mom thought he
was God.
Roy recounted a
memo from Pat Lewis,
“human resources director,” starting Dec. 1,
about the Dec. 23 office
Christmas party, successively adding the Muslims’ Rahmadan, a month
of fasting (hard to do at
an office party), where
Overeaters Anonymous
would sit, and how to
accommodate vegetarians at Louie’s Barbecue,
followed by a memo from
“CEO” Terry Bishop, that
Pat was recovering at a
sanitarium.
Roy also informed us that Santa
coming down the chimney with the fire blazing
is known as Crisp Kringle
and that the Christmas alphabet has “no ‘L’.” (Our
friend Ricky said that
Santa has three gardens
so he can ho, ho, ho.)
Finally, Roy told
the real story of the
12 Days of Christmas,
in memos from Agnes
McUlties to Dearest John.
For examples: getting a
partridge in a pear tree
was nice, but seven swans
a-swimming left poop all
over the house, the nine
pipers piping chased the
maids incessantly, the 11
lords a-sleeping had an
orgy. Then came a memo
from her law firm after
arrival of the 12 fiddlers
fiddling, that John should
not try to reach Miss
McUlties at that same
old sanitarium. (BTW,
Roy said the current tab
for the song’s gifts is
$86,609.74.)
Marty Brownstein read his inspirational
writing about the holidays
as a time to hold kids
tight and respect elders’
wisdom: “The time for
loving is fleeting and
you don’t get a second
chance.” He also mused
about people making New
Year’s resolutions one
day and breaking them
the next.
Then Morty Davis brought some tips
from the Montgomery
County PD: the cops have
downloaded names of all
persons with those handicapped placards that hang
from the rearview mirror,
to nab others using them
illegally, and gave those
old pointers for seniors
having sex, such as: put
911 on speed dial, and
make all the noise you
want—the neighbors are
deaf, too.
Safety is a Priority
A Message from Security
The safety and
protection of our residents is always a primary
concern at Leisure World.
Management offers the
following suggestions.
Each resident
should provide a current
entry door key for their
unit to Security, to be kept
at our main gate. All keys
are specially coded and
locked in a cabinet, safe
and secured. A special
chart is required to identify to which unit the key
belongs. Therefore, a lost
key would not be identifiable by anyone other than
Leisure World Security
personnel.
Permission to
enter the unit in your
absence is also very important! In an emergency,
it could save further
damage from occurring.
Let us say that a resident
is away and a neighbor
notices water coming
from that unit into theirs.
There may be a leaking
toilet, a sink overflowing,
a condensate line back up
or any one of many other
scenarios. If a key is at
the main gate and we have
permission to enter, then
valuable time is saved
that could prevent a real
disaster.
What if you are
in distress and have called
for assistance, but the
front door is locked and
you are unable to reach
it? Without a key, the
door or lock may need to
be broken to get to you. If on file at security, the
key can be brought to your
unit saving time, money
and maybe your life. Help
us protect you!
If your unit has
a storm door, do not lock
it. The storm door would
have to be broken before
getting to the door your
key opens, generating
more cost to you. Also,
locking your storm door
could create a problem in
the event of a fire. Any
delay in getting in or out of
your unit in an emergency
situation could become
critical.
Please help us
protect you by following
these simple suggestions.

Peripheral Neuropathy Group of Leisure World
By Herb Fine, 1-240-669-7908, fine [email protected]
I received an email on Dec. 17 from
the Neuropathy Action
Foundation (NAF) relating to Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy PSA
featuring Jerry Mathers
(The Beaver). “The Neuropathy Action Foundation (NAF) is dedicated
to ensuring neuropathy
patients obtain the necessary resources and
information to access individualized treatment to
improve their quality of
life. The NAF increases
awareness among physicians, the general public
and public policy officials that neuropathy can
potentially be a serious,
widespread and disabling
condition, which may
be treatable when appropriate medical care is
provided.” NAF’s e-mail
is [email protected]. I will endeavor
to have a representative
meet with our group in
the near future.
Several months
ago I was apprised that
the peripheral neuropathy organization in New
York was no longer
functioning nor was the
Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. Lo
and behold, I received
a wealth of information
from “The Foundation
for Peripheral Neuropathy” that states: “Our
mission is to dramatically improve the lives
of people living with
Peripheral Neuropathy.”
It further avers: “Are you

I have printed
the ways that will cause
Peripheral Neuropathy:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
results from compression
of the median nerve at
the wrist. The most common syndrome is numbness and paresthesias
in the hands or fingers.
The diagnosis can be
confirmed by EMG and
nerve conduction studies. Mild cases can be
treated with non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory
medications and the use
of a wrist brace for least
two months. If this is
ineffective and the symptoms are sufficiently
bothersome, surgery is
indicated to relieve the
compression.

Pedestrian Crosswalks
A Message from the Security Department
The Security Department receives numerous complaints about
automobiles failing to
stop for pedestrians at
crosswalks. Pedestrians
must also do their part
by using sidewalks and
marked crosswalks and
not walk in the street.
There are many
residents in the community who are hardof-hearing or visually
impaired; others, due
to physical limitations,
walk slowly. Motorists
failing to yield the right-
of-way to these residents
show no regard for the
safety of pedestrians. They are your friends
and neighbors. We urge
that you follow the mandate in the Maryland
State Driver's Handbook,
which states:
“Pedestrian
Right-of-Way. Pedestrians in a crosswalk,
whether marked or unmarked, have the Rightof-Way, except when
they enter the cross-walk
at a red light or against
the direction of the traffic
officer.”
When a driver of
a vehicle is approaching
a crosswalk, he/she must
come to a complete stop
when a pedestrian is
crossing the roadway
on which the vehicle
is traveling. Whenever
any vehicle is stopped
at a marked or unmarked
crosswalk to permit a
pedestrian to cross the
road, the driver of any
other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not
overtake and pass such a
stopped vehicle.
Traffic Pattern Through
Administration Parking Lot
One-Way Only!!
All traffic lanes in the Administration parking
lot are one-way. Vehicles must travel from the top
of the lot to the bottom. No traffic is permitted to
travel towards the Administration building.
Drivers disregarding the established traffic
pattern pose a serious risk to both pedestrians and
vehicular traffic.

else plans to go.

committee usually meets

Basic Strength
and Cardio Circuit
Training Workout: This
basic strength and circuit
work out is perfect for
those days when you want
to work everything in a
short period of time. This
circuit involves alternating
a low impact cardio exercise with classic combination strength moves, so you
get the benefits of both cardio and strength in simple
workout. This workout is
great for beginner or intermediate exercisers. Due
to the lack of rest during
circuit training, exercisers
maintain elevated heart
rates for the entire period
of exercise. Exercisers
gain muscle through resistance training, increase
cardiovascular endurance
and burn a higher number
of calories. Circuit training
can be used to achieve an
increase in lean body mass
and a decrease in weight.

Coordinator, Leisure World Diabetes Education Program
Welcome to The
Diabetes Corner. In these
articles, we discuss topics
of interest to the diabetic
community of Leisure
World.
New Year’s Resolutions. About this time
of year, a lot of us start
thinking about New Year’s
resolutions. Now may be
the right time to think
about how to better manage your diabetes in 2013.
Here are some suggestions
to get started on those
New Year’s resolutions.
Set priorities. Diabetes
management involves several aspects of care. You
may want to eat healthier,
be more active, monitor
your blood sugar more
often. It is best to master
one change at a time. You
can set SMART goals.
Specific. Be specific when
deciding on your goal.
Measurable. Make your
goal measurable so you
can track and identify your
progress. Attainable. Set
goals that are challenging
but attainable. Realistic.
Set realistic goals you
know you can achieve.
Time Frame – specific.
Set short-term goals you
can build on to reach your
long-term goal. An example of SMART goal setting
could be: Specific – I will
be more active by walking
more. Measurable – I will

THE SENIOR CONNECTION needs volunteers to help
our home-bound Montgomery
County neighbors live as independently as possible by providing escorted transportation
to scheduled medical appointments, helping with grocery
shopping by either shopping
for or with them, and driving
them to nearby locations to
run errands. Trips are typically
scheduled during non-rush hour
and are less than five miles from
home. A volunteer driver usually provides one trip a week for
one person and the schedule is
flexible based on your availability. Volunteers receive training,
recognition and are covered
by the organization’s liability
insurance. Volunteers feel a
great satisfaction knowing that
they are giving an important
service to their neighbors. Currently there are many residents
who receive the services from

SENIORS FOR SENIORS
Program – An opportunity
for seniors to experience the
enjoyment of having a senior
cat as a companion. The goals
of the program are to make
it easier for seniors to get
involved and to provide an
opportunity to those who might
want a cat but are not sure they
can take care of one and for
those who want to help the cats
in our community find new,
permanent homes. Seniors
over the age of 60 and cats six
year or older or special needs
cats are eligible. Interested
seniors must complete a volunteer form (online or in person)
and a “foster” or “foster to
adopt” form and be approved
by the coordinator. Renters
must supply their landlord’s
name and phone number. All
fosters need a room where
the cat can be isolated from
other pets. The Animal Welfare League of Montgomery
County pays all medical expenses for foster cats. Fosters
pay for food and litter (there
are exceptions to this policy).
AWLMC guarantees to take
back any cat at any time. There
are short term and long-term
foster programs. AWLMC
counselors help match the cat
to the potential adopter. The
trial period is one month. The
cost to adopt is $75. For more
information contact AWLMC,
PO Box 7041, Gaithersburg,
MD 20898 or 301-740-2511.

TRAINING - 9 a.m.-4 p.m.,_
Sunday - Tuesday, Feb. 3,
4, 5;: JSSA, 6123 Montrose
Road, Rockville. Hospice and
Transitions Programs. Do you
want to make a real difference
in the life of a patient or family
struggling with a life-limiting
illness by volunteering your
time and compassion? After
specialized training, volunteers offer much-needed
emotional, spiritual and social
support to people in their last
weeks and months of life.
They provide companionship,
practical support and respite
care for families. Volunteers
are integral members of JSSA
Hospice’s interdisciplinary
care team. Hospice volunteers
must be at least 18 years old
and, after completing an intensive, specialized hospice
volunteer training course,
must commit to volunteering a
minimum of two hours a week.
We have found it beneficial for
individuals to wait one year
following the death of a loved
one before becoming a volunteer with JSSA Hospice and
Transitions.Facilitator: Amy
Goott, MSW. Applications and
interviews will be required for
those interested in the volunteer training. No walk-ins accepted. For more information,
contact Amy Kaufman Goott,
MSW, manager of Volunteer
services for JSSA Hospice
and Transitions at 301-8162650, [email protected]. (2.5)
