ANNOUNCEMENTS
A NEW HEALTHCARE ‘KEY’
AT ACV
We are pleased to welcome Melanie Key of
Greenville, FL to the CMC staff. Melanie, an
advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP), is
working alongside Beth Fulford, ARNP, under the
direction of Dr. Maria Gonzalez.
Melanie is excited to join the team at CMC.
She loves caring for people of all ages and
especially enjoys working with senior adults.
Melanie has a 96-year-old grandmother who,
according to her, tells the best stories. Melanie plans
to make this a long-term move.
Most recently, Melanie worked at Shands
Medical Group in Live Oak. Since graduating in
2000 from Florida A&M with her NP degree, she’s
worked mainly in primary care. She says her desire
to become a nurse probably came from her parents
who are both nurses. Melanie and her husband,
Jason, have five children.
We are pleased to welcome Melanie Key to the
ACV family.

MOVIE MATINEE
“GOD’S NOT DEAD”
Sat., Aug. 8, 2:00 p.m., OPR
College freshman and devout Christian, Josh
Wheaton finds his faith challenged on his first day
of philosophy class by the dogmatic and
argumentative Professor Radisson. Radisson begins
class by informing his students that they will need
to disavow, in writing, the existence of God. As
other students in the class begin scribbling the
words, “God is dead,” on pieces of paper as
instructed, Josh find himself at a crossroads, having
to choose between his faith and his future. Josh
offers a nervous refusal, and Radisson assigns him a
daunting task: If Josh will not admit that God is
dead, he must prove God’s existence by presenting
well-researched, intellectual arguments and
evidence over the course of the semester in front of
the class. If Josh fails to convince his classmates of
God’s existence, he will fail the course and hinder
his lofty academic goals. With almost no one in his
corner, Josh wonders if he can really fight for what
he believes. Can he actually prove the existence of
God? God’s Not Dead weaves together multiple
stories of faith, doubt and disbelief, culminating in a
dramatic call to action. Produced by Pure Flix.
Dove “faith-friendly” for ages 12 and over. Approx.
113 mins. A few copies of the DVD will be
available to purchase for $10 each.

Mon., Aug. 10, 1:30 p.m., DR
TV has been around a long time. Whether you
watch a lot or a little, everyone has been exposed to
TV. Did you know that ACV has its own TV station
- TV2? It’s also been around for quite a number of
years. While it isn’t nearly as large or impressive as
a national carrier, my time working with TV2 has
been very interesting. How does TV work?
Specifically, how does TV2 work? Why does TV2
show the programs it shows? Why doesn’t it show
more programs? Who works behind the scenes of
TV2? What are ACV’s plans for TV2? I invite you
to join me on Mon., Aug. 10, at 1:30 p.m., in the
DR to learn all about ACV’s closed-circuit
television station - TV2. Come with questions and
suggestions, or come with complaints. Just be sure
to come.

SODEXO FOOD SERVICE
PRESENTATION
Thur., AUG. 13, 2:00 p.m., SMR/DR
John Benke, the District Manager from Sodexo, will
be here to share information about Sodexo. Who
they are? Where are they based? What are their
plans for ACV? He will also be available to answer
your questions.
DID YOU KNOW…
…that there was a resort across the Suwannee River
from ACV from 1900 to 1930?
There was. Dowling’s Resort was developed at
the same time as the Dowling Lumber Company
sawmill on the east side of the river. By 1898 the
Lopin’ Gopher Railroad reached the Suwannee
River by 1898. The community began to blossom.
Visit the History Window at the VS (across
from entrance to the Village Grocer) for an
overview of Dowling’s Resort. You’ll be surprised
to see how this peninsula across the river has
transitioned through the years. Today, it is a resort
of another type — a primitive camp site along the
Suwannee River Wilderness Trail.
This presentation is brought to you by the
Village Archives. If you have questions following
viewing the presentation, talk with Millie Griswold
or Tib Henderson.

MOVIE MATINEE
“REAL”
Sat., Aug. 15, 2:00 p.m., OPR
All of our lives, we’ve been told that life isn’t fair,
yet no one has ever bothered to tell us why. Is life
merely a culmination of our own failures,
compounded one after another, or are things truly
beyond our control? Is there a God? If so, is He
truly out there, looking on us lovingly, or does He
despise us and laugh as we stumble around in the
darkness of our own humanity? The lives of four
individuals unravel as they face a world of
consequences both thrust upon them and as a
product of their choices. Either way, reality is the
result. Produced by Pure Flix. Not rated. Approx. 91
mins.

VC SOFTBALL TEAM
Recreation Center in Live Oak
(Village bus is not scheduled for these games.)
Well, it's time to say goodbye to another softball
season! Yeah! I mean oh, so sad. We lost to
Westwood on Mon. p.m. even though we probably
had the biggest crowd we've had all year. That put
us in the losers bracket so we played OCC on Tue.
at 6:30 p.m. and won, so we had to play right after
that game against Corinth. It was a tough fought
battle, but we came up on the short end again, 2826. All in all it was a fun season and I think we
accomplished our goal of being a witness to all the
teams we played. And you, as fans, were a big part
of it as well and your support was greatly
appreciated.

birthday cake with her DM family at suppertime!
Joyce Bowden celebrated her birthday on Mon.,
Aug. 3 with a 7-layer chocolate frosted cake. She
also enjoyed dining out with her family over the
weekend. Shirley Dreyfuss’ special day is Thur.,
Aug. 6. Happy birthday to all of these ladies!
Vic Grondzki enjoyed a few days visiting his
daughter-in-law, Barb Grondzki, at her Kitty Hawk
home. He and the “Kitty-Hawkers” had a chance to
catch up!
We welcome Faye Thacker to DM 1108
following a short stay at GSC. Faye is no stranger
to DM as she once worked here in the early ‘90’s!
Welcome home, Faye, except this time, I will not
put you to work!
Laura Lanier was pleased to have her
daughter and son-in-law, Cindy and Jerry Hall and
their granddaughter, Riley, visit and join Laura for
lunch. The Halls stopped by on their way to
Jacksonville to take Riley home (after a week’s
vacation) to get ready for the 2nd grade before their
trip back to Blairsville, GA. Laura loves their home
on the side of a mountain and their yard is a
showcase with flowers, a garden, bird feeders and
all kinds of birds, and grape vines. To sit on a
swing on their back porch is BEAUTIFUL! What
great memories, Laura!
Not only are the school age children preparing
for a new year, but we have some young adults
getting ready too! DM staff members, Sydney
Barry is in the LPN program, and Karis Rewis is in
the RN program at NFCC. I love to see our staff

How many times have we heard or thought “I'm
retired! Now, how can I volunteer?” You are in
good company. According to recent government
statistics, approximately 61 million people are
volunteering in some capacity around the country.
As the Volunteer Coordinator, I invite everyone
who is not already volunteering, and who would
like to touch another person's life, to reach out and
dial 658-5251 to receive more information about
“giving back.” There is so much to gain. There are
openings on regular shifts in addition to an asneeded basis.
Maybe it is time to give some
serious thought to how your time and talents can be
put to use here in the Village and to God's glory.
It is my pleasure to mention that new members
Malcom and Nancy Anderson, of ET, have joined
the CCC Volunteer Family.
Thank you for
answering that need and enjoy the experience.
The Grand Elf, Dick Grillo, who represents the
Village through the Christmas Toy Project, has a
need for seamstresses to sew pillowcase-size
drawstring bags to hold items such as large blocks
and other large items being made in the
Woodworking Shop for Christmas. The drawstring
will be provided, however, the fabric will not in
most cases. If you have a sewing machine and
scraps of fabrics from over the years just waiting to
be used, use your creative juices and see what you
can accomplish between now and mid-Nov. The
heavier the fabric, the sturdier the bag. If you have
any questions, please feel free to call me. Thank
you.
Currently, there are about four members who
are waiting for a Reassurance Caller who will call
them every morning to check on their well-being.
This is a much-needed and most appreciated service
for those members living alone and feeling the need
for a Reassurance Caller. Please call me for further
information.
The blue Monthly Volunteer Hours Reports are
flowing into the office, and I thank you all for them.
They should all be here by Wed., Aug. 12, which is
only a week away.
The secret of joy in work is contained in one
word - excellence. To know how to do something
well is to enjoy it.

Jim and Carolyn Whitaker spent a week with their
daughter's family at Myrtle Beach, SC. Bob and
Beth Brightup and their children, Nathan and Chloe,
met them at the beach at the condo where they were
staying. They enjoyed the time they spent together,
visiting Ripley's Aquarium and Odditorium,
watching videos, and just talking. Of course good
seafood was on the agenda as well. Welcome
home, Jim and Carolyn.
Continue to keep all our neighbors in your
prayers as we know we all have good days and days
that are not so good, but God is ALWAYS good!
Stay out of the heat.

Happy birthday to Gladys Ezell, who will observe
her birthday on Sun., Aug. 9 and Julie Swanson on
Tue., Aug. 11. We trust each of you will have a
good day and blessings in the year ahead.
Chester Willette spent last weekend with his
daughter in Gainesville celebrating his 89th
birthday. His son, from NC, and seven other guests
joined him. He had two birthday cakes and other
gifts. He brought one of his cakes home with him to
share in DH. It was special.
Continued prayer for those with acute or
chronic physical concerns that you are aware of is
appreciated. Emerson Moore tries to work through
his painful hip, back, and now his leg, as he does
yard work around the Village. Holly Fabian daily
visits her husband, Robert, who is improving
slightly, step by step as he is cared for at GSC.
Thank you for sharing your news with us this
week. You may continue to put a note in the box at
the DH desk, e-mail me at [email protected], or
telephone me at 658-2015.

Do you remember the song “Rejoice in the Lord
always, and again I say, rejoice!” Well, that’s the
way I felt on Mon. when I saw the nurse
practitioner and my oncology doctor as they gave
me the news that my chemo is working. It was such
a relief to get some positive news, the first since my
diagnosis in Jan. So, to all of our friends who have
been praying for me, don’t stop now and thank you
from the bottom of my heart. My treatment will
remain the same indefinitely, Abraxane three weeks
on and one week off, with another CT scan in Oct.
Please continue to pray for my feet to heal, as I’m
still having a good bit of pain in both feet.
Two weeks ago someone sent me a little green
bear, “Huggy,” without any name on the note.
Thank you for your kindness.
We have some new wildlife nearby. The other
night I opened the back porch door and three little
raccoons looked up at me and then scrambled and
fell down the steps to run away. It must have been
their mom’s first attempt to bring them out to feed.
She was off the porch by about fifteen feet, but
keeping an eye on them.
No action on the mobile home across the street,
but we sure are getting a lot of traffic going by to
check things out. Bob wants to set out a stand with
various drinks, but that might need a license, eh?
We have just two birthdays this month, my
Bob’s (Reynolds) on Aug. 11 and Catherine
Rountree’s on Aug. 19. Please pray for Catherine
to regain her health, as she’s been battling a chest
cold for two months.
As we begin to get cooler weather, like 87
instead of 94, I’ll be waiting for the 70’s coming
down the road. It will happen, so hang in there.
Keep me posted on your events, visitors, etc. at

We had the pleasure of having Lorraine Bowen
visit us to tell about their recent trip to Rome. They
were quick to find that traffic in Rome was fast,
heavy, and almost uncontrolled. One had to hurry
to cross the streets. They visited many of the
churches, most were Roman Catholic, very ornate
8
and beautiful. The Coliseum was built in the 70’s
A.D., after the reign of Nero. It was so beautiful
(an attempt to erase the horrors of his reign). There
were specific seating arrangements for government
officials, local officials, affluent people and then the
public, who would bring food to cook and share
(like “tailgating” today). It was a much smaller
arena than they expected and as the building aged
and deteriorated many pieces of the stone arches
were taken for use in new buildings. They saw a
movie about the carnage performed there. The
Vatican was so crowded that the Bowens could only
see the top half of the many Biblical pictures
displayed on the walls – but they did see the Pope!
In Pompeii they experienced the destruction caused
by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius around 1759.
Bodies encased in lava at that time are still being
exhumed and buried elsewhere. Lorraine told of
many other sights – to be told at another time.
Thank you, Lorraine!
Research whether the repair shop is registered
with the Florida Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services (FDACS) and if any complaints
have been filed against the business. This can be
done by using the “Business/Complaint Lookup” at
800helpfla.com, or by calling 1–800–HELP–FLA
(435–7352). If there are complaints on file, find out
how they were resolved.
Motor Vehicle Repair Shop Estimates
If the repair work will cost more than $100, the
repair shop MUST give you the option of:
Requesting a written estimate;
Being notified by the shop if the repair exceeds
an amount you specify; or
Not requiring a written estimate at all.
You must sign and date one of the above options.
Motor vehicle repair shops cannot force you to
waive your right to receive an estimate. When a
written estimate is requested you must be given a
copy. The repair shop must get your approval
before exceeding the repair cost by more than $10
or 10 percent, whichever is greater, but not to
exceed $50.
After Repairs Have Been Completed
Check the repair invoice carefully. Make sure the
invoice includes the date, odometer reading,
description of work performed, labor, parts and
other merchandise costs, nature of parts (new, used,
rebuilt, etc.), warranty (if applicable) and the
registration number of the business (located on the
certificate issued by FDACS) identifying their shop.
If the service was not performed as expected,
give the business a chance to resolve the problem.
Discuss the problem with the service manager or
owner of the company. Reputable shops value
customer feedback and will make a sincere effort to
keep your business. If you do not feel satisfied, you
may file a complaint online at 800helpfla.com or 1800-HELP-FLA (435–7352) and request to have a
complaint form mailed to you.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services is the state's clearinghouse for
consumer complaints, protection and information.

AVOID COSTLY
AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS
Summer is a busy travel season and with gas prices
at record lows around the country it's a great time to
take a road trip. With more automobiles being used
for vacation needs, some cars will need a basic
tune–up service, or possibly more extensive repairs.
When repairs or service are required, it's important
for consumers to have a certain level of confidence
that the work will be done correctly at a reasonable
price.
Before Repairs
Start shopping for a repair shop before repairs are
actually needed. Consumers will be more likely to
make a better decision if it is not rushed or in a
panicked situation. When a business is selected,
make sure they honor the vehicle's warranty, if
applicable. It's always a good idea to ask friends for
recommendations.

2015-16 Artist Series
LIVE! AT DOWLING PARK
BOYS’ CHOIR OF TALLAHASSEE - Pre-season Concert
Friday, August 7, 7:00 p.m., Village Church
ACV is excited to have back the Boys’ Choir of Tallahassee (BCT), a talented group of young men lead by Dr.
Earle Lee. Following their intensive, week-long training at Camp Suwannee, the group will perform a free
concert (a love offering will be taken). The choir’s previous performances have all been blessings, and this one
promises to be no different.
BCT is a community outreach program for males, ages 8 to 18, enrolled in schools in the Tallahassee area.
The choir works to help young men meet their developmental needs and realize their full potential by
proactively reducing risky behavior, restoring self-esteem and promoting academic success.
YOUNG MUSICIANS CONCERT
Friday, August 21, 7:00 p.m., Village Church
Lani Clark has performed at the Village many times. She began singing for audiences by the time she was three
years old. Audiences are impressed not only with her talent, but also with her spirit-filled delivery. Her singing
career has led her to present many concerts in our area and to win a Prairie Home Companion contest in which
she performed an original composition.
Erik Swart is a 20-year old, local music artist who has over 15 years of musical experience. He speaks to
many people through his music and always strives to use his talents to praise God. Erik placed second in the
International Church of God Teen Talent competition and currently helps lead worship at two churches in Live
Oak.
PAUL SAIK – Vocalist, Pianist & Organist
Friday, September 11, 7:00 p.m., Village Church
Paul Saik began playing piano at age three. His first church position came at the young age of 13 as a church
pianist in Mississippi. Since then his life has been filled with musical opportunities including singing opera
professionally. He is now the Artist in Residence at his home church, The Cathedral of the Rockies, First
United Methodist Church, in Boise, Idaho.
THE KELLY/SCOTT JAZZ SEXTET
Friday, October 23, 7:00 p.m., Village Church
Co-led by vocalist Lisa Kelly and trumpeter JB Scott, the Kelly/Scott Sextet features six outstanding jazz artists
with trombonist Dave Steinmeyer, Pianist Jeff Phillips, bassist Charlie Silva, and drummer Clyde Connor. The
sextet will perform a repertoire featuring songs of the 1920s-40s and beyond.
ROBIN HENDRICKSON – Small Moments with a Big Instrument
Saturday, November 21, 7:00 p.m., Bixler Chapel
“Pipes, songs and stories – All for one and fun for all!” Robin Hendrickson brings music alive on a variety of
small pipes and the Great Highland bagpipe. Robin has been playing for nearly 20 years. He believes that
“Piping is mostly madness with a touch of magic,” and claims that “The bagpipe is not just an instrument, but
700 years of history.”
TIM ZIMMERMAN & THE KING’S BRASS – Celebrating Emmanuel, God with Us
Saturday, December 19, 7:00 p.m., & Sunday, December 20, 3:00 p.m., Village Church
ACV is pleased to present Tim Zimmerman and The King’s Brass in a highly anticipated two-day concert
