The Goldenaires – Big Band Music
T
he
E&R
Department is
pleased to bring
the Goldenaires
back to Leisure
World. The Big Band will
perform in Clubhouse II’s
auditorium on Wednesday,
Oct. 24 at 2 PM. Tickets, $7
per person, will be available
in either Clubhouse I’s or
Clubhouse II’s E&R Office
beginning at 8:30 am on
Tuesday, Sept. 18.
“We are the best
oldies but goodies orchestra
around” proudly say the
Goldenaires about themselves.
Starting from four musicians
who began playing together
some 27 years ago, they have
grown into a full Big Band
of some 30 retirees playing
the swing music of the 30’s,
40’s and 50’s. Members
come from many professions
including, among others,
doctors, lawyers, accountants,
engineers and teachers. Many
have played with concert
bands, service bands and local
dance bands. Others, after
many years in work and home
careers, have picked up their
instruments and are regaining
their past proficiency. A few

have taught themselves to
play, with rewarding results.
With the goal of
sharing their music with
others, they have played at
senior centers, retirement
centers and nursing homes
throughout Central Maryland
as well as for special groups
including the AARP, The
American Parkinson’s Disease
Association and Springfield
Hospital. They will tell you
that, by this sharing of their
talents and songs in their
volunteer roles, they receive
tremendous
enjoyment
themselves, which makes the
effort worthwhile.
They are led by Al
Caldwell, a former high school
band director with 33 years
experience directing bands.
This promises to be
a delightful afternoon of Big
Band music!

T
By Jonas Weiss
he Reverend L.
Jerome Fowler

generation
Plummer (pictured) and has
traced his heritage back to his
great-great-great-great grandparents in colonial Prince
George’s County. His presentation will center on his greatgreat grandparents, Adam and
Emily Plummer, whose lifelong
struggles impacted their entire
family down to the generations
of today. He brings a positive
message to listeners that regardless of age, race, or gender, we
can all have a constructive effect
on our world and the lives of
others around us.
Reverend Fowler was reared
in the St. Paul Baptist Church

in 1866 by his great aunt, Sarah
Miranda Plummer. He is a product of the D.C. public school
system, the D.C. Teacher’s College, Washington Bible College,

degrees in religious education
and certifications in religious
education, HIV counseling and

Assessment of Deer Population Underway
by Susan Curow, Chairman
Deer Control Special Committee
Created by the LWCC
Board of Directors, the Deer
Control Special Committee
is addressing the issue of an
increasing deer population and
its possible risk to residents and
environment. It will make longterm recommendations based on
an assessment underway now.
Early on the committee
met with Maryland-National
Capital Parks and Planning
Commission (MNCPPC)
representatives for a presentation
of its comprehensive education
program reflecting the agency’s
statewide experience. MNCPPC
has been involved in controlling
deer in Brookside Gardens, the
White Oak federal facility, the
National Institute of Standards
and Technology, and other
major projects. Some agency
methods have failed. The
committee is considering the
most “successful” suggestions.
Step 1. Determine the deer
count. Since the first step in
identifying deer management
solutions is to determine the
degree of the deer problem, we
are obtaining a systematic, accurate count of the deer herds
in LW. Toward that end, the

LWCC Board of Directors Meeting
Highlights Aug. 28, 2012
T
he Name Change
Committee requested funds in
anticipation of
costs involved
in changing the community
name. There was extensive
discussion on this topic
since the Contingency Fund
is running low due to other
unexpected events as well as
the continuing costs associated with the negotiations
with MedStar. The general
manager was asked to bring
options for finding money to
fund this process to the board
in October.
The policy on how accrued
leave will be handled with
respect to those mutuals that
have staff assigned directly
to them full time was voted
on and passed.
The 2013 Leisure World
community budget was adopted. This budget includes
the anticipated expenditures
as well as funding of reserve
accounts.
The board did not approve
the dismissal of the members
of the ad hoc Governing Documents Review Committee;
however, the members were
directed to bring the report
addressing the tasks laid out
when the committee was set
up to the Oct. 2 meeting.
The board approved an additional expense of up to
$50,000 to be spent on continuing architect fees related
to the administration building. This money comes from
the Resales Fund which is
funded by the two percent fee
collected at settlement when
any unit changes ownership.
Several items that had been
on the agenda were removed.
The Landscape Committee
asked to have more time to
review the McFall and Berry
contract prior to the board review. The Health Committee
Charter approval was postponed and the Leisure World
News Committee chair asked
that the board not take action
on the motions in the packet
since their intent will be part
of the revised Leisure World
News policy and procedures
document that will come to
the board in October.
The next regularly scheduled board meeting is at 9
am on Oct. 2.

Deer Population
LWCC Board of Directors has approved the initial
cost to hire Patriot Wildlife Management Company to
perform the count in late August — the best time to
obtain an accurate count since this is when fawns can
be identified as being male or female. This company
was highly recommended by the MNCPPC.
Step 2. Consider how to control deer entry into LW.
The committee is working closely with Jolene King,
assistant general manager, to make progress with the
research and education aspect of deer management.
Management methods researched include controlling
entry: possibly using a “deer grate” system, adding to
the fencing surrounding LW, and electric gate closures;
and continue making LW less inviting to the deer by
using deer resistant plants in the Mutuals, and around
Trust buildings and properties. The Landscape Committee uses deer resistant plantings and sprays with
“deer off.” But, as food sources become scarce, deer
will begin to eat plants that they had not traditionally
eaten in the past. Therefore, we have investigated
other deterrents such as electrified fencing or barriers.
Step 3. Educate residents about the health and
financial impact of the increasing deer herds. News
articles by the advisory representatives in the Leisure
World News and forum presentations by MDPPC and
Patriot Wildlife Management will accomplish this.
Controlling the deer herds may prove to be an expensive proposition for LW. But, it is necessary to protect
Page 5
the population and Leisure World property. Thus, the
Deer Control Special Committee is looking for a longterm and on-going control or solution to form a plan
to present to LWCC.
The committee is made up of representatives from
the following advisory Committees, LW organizations and departments that are directly affected by the
increased deer herds: Health Advisory Committee,
Security and Transportation Committee, Landscaping
Advisory Committee, Garden Plots of LW, Golf Course
Committee, E&R Committee and Physical Properties
Department.
Anyone with questions or comments can contact the
chairman, Susan Curow at [email protected]. The next
meeting of the Deer Control Special Committee is Sept.
19, 1 PM in CH2. Guests are encouraged to attend.

Leisure World Community Annual
Walk for the Homeless
Please join your
neighbors on Friday, Oct. 26
for the fourth annual Leisure
World Walk for the Homeless. The morning’s events
will begin with a time for
warm-up and stretching at
8:30 am in the Ballroom at
Clubhouse I. You are invited
to join in the Walk for the
Homeless in our community
by obtaining a registration
form from the E&R office
or The Inter-Faith Chapel.
Registration is $30, which
includes a commemorative
“Help the Homeless” T-shirt
and snacks after the walk.
The forms are now available
and should be turned in by
Thursday, Oct. 11 in order
to have the shirts available
to wear for the walk. You
may also secure donations
by asking friends and family
to sponsor you. All donations
are tax deductible.
Did you know that
nearly 12,000 people in the
Washington, D.C. area are
homeless? More than 40
percent are families and one
in four is a child. The Help
the Homeless Program raises
funds to support organizations working to prevent and
end homelessness. Since
1988, the program has raised
over $90 million, impacting
thousands of families and
children in our communities.
You can make a dif-
ference in the lives of homeless families and children
by joining our neighbors or
making a donation. With the
support of people like you,
in 2011 the Help the Homeless nonprofit organizations
touched over 180,000 clients
offering over 6,300 housing
units to the Washington, DC
area.
Last year our community raised over $2,500
with over 30 walkers when
we joined forces with the
Fannie Mae Foundation to
raise funds to prevent and
end homelessness. The event
is co-sponsored by the E&R
Department and The InterFaith Chapel.

Leisure World Gardens
by Mary Lalley
And so the
season winds down
and the process begins
to put the plots to bed.
This is hard work and
for some folks it means
saying good-bye to a
wonderful hobby, but
sometimes it is just too
difficult. Susan Curow
is ready to take all
the changes and give
gardens to people on
the waiting list so they
can begin to dream of a
new garden in the 2013
season. Remember to
clear weeds and debris
from all planting areas
for the winter. The West
Nile scare remains with
us, so no containers of
any kind should hold
liquid anywhere in the
plot areas. Turn over
any jars or containers
around the plots or
sheds to discourage
breeding of mosquitoes.
We are sorry
to acknowledge that
Theo Homans and
Harvey
Wolf
will
no longer be able to
continue to manage
equipment on our little
farm, so for now Betty
Kontaxis will have a
list of chores, which I
hope we will be able to
complete with maybe
a bit of training from
Theo and Harvey. We
need to step up and take
some responsibility so
that the area is kept in
good condition, and
ready for a new season.
Please call Betty (301438-0004) and offer to
learn and do whatever
you can to contribute.
The
potluck
supper was wonderful,
with good food and

again we thank Barry

their generous hosting.
It was great! The

a rain date of Friday,

As we wind
down, we may find
an over abundance of
vegetables and we hope
gardeners will remember
to use the share table for
the produce, rather than
let it decompose in the
plots. Plants should be
labeled if they are left,
so that everyone knows
what is offered. Some
people in our group
go above and beyond
in their effort to make
everything work and
Betty, Theo and Harvey,

among them and they deserve our thanks. When
you plan your garden

Macintosh Computer Club
of Leisure World By Herbert Block, President
I had expected
that by this date, I would
have something positive
to announce regarding a
speaker for the general
meeting this September. The two possible
candidates are still considering my request. I
am certain one of my
prospective speakers
will come through - if not
for September, surely for
October.
In the absence of
a speaker, there is always
time for activating certain levels of “training.”
Currently there are these
needs: 1. Basic learning
sessions for beginners.
The computer “Hardware/Software and special terms.” It is scary,
at first, but one readily
can learn of its workings,
language and uses. 2. The
Internet, e-mail, etc. The
electronics involved,
nomenclature, how it
works (Sender - Receiver), passwords, attachments, etc. 3. Computer
maintenance - keeping
your computer in top/
notch condition “why the
beach ball?” 4. An “open
session.” Questions.
We cannot start
on all of the above, but
we can run a few sessions for beginners, as
follows: On Thursday,
Sept. 20 and Friday, Sept.
21 classes will be held
for only four learners
at each session. Those
who could not be in the
Thursday class will be
placed in the Friday session. These are the two
classes: Thursday, Sept.

environs in good condition. Find the area where
you are comfortable and
give Betty your offer. We
all need to do this and it
could be a new year reso-
lution. So dig up those
pesky weeds and leave
all plastic off the plots for
now, until the mosquito
season is over. In the cool
of autumn covers can
be applied, but not now.
Stay well and strong, my
fellow gardeners, and
pat yourself on the back
for another season well

U.S. Senatorial Candidate Daniel Bongino to Speak about His Candidacy
he next meeting
of the Republican
Club of Leisure
World is Sept. 24
at 1 PM in Clubhouse I. This represents a
change from our usual third
Monday of the month date
and 7 PM time.
Dan Bongino, the
U.S. Senate Republican
candidate, will address the
club at this meeting. Dan is a
successful entrepreneur and
decorated civil servant. He
and his wife are the owners
of successful small businesses ranging from web solutions and design to sporting equipment. His most
current initiative involves
the assessment and mitigation of risk. The U.S. Secret
Service decorated him for
his outstanding work with
that agency. He has degrees
in business and psychology. He was endorsed in
T
the Republican primary by
gazette.net for his strong positions on the issues. See his
website at www.bongino.
com for his thoughtful and
comprehensive positions
on various issues including
the following: economy,
healthcare, energy, environment, national security
and immigration. Everyone
is welcome to attend our
meeting.
Our Mitt Romney for President Aug.
20 program drew a large
attendance. Our speakers
were two Mitt Romney for
President campaign stars:
his state campaign co-chair
Louis M. Pope and his
Montgomery County chair
Katja Bullock. Mr. Pope is
also a member of the Republican National Committee,
serving as the national committeeman for Maryland;
and Ms. Bullock is also
Dan Bongino
deputy chair of the Montgomery County Republican
Central Committee. They
both explored how citizens
could best participate in
our national presidential
election campaign. Many
good ideas to help Mitt
were presented, including
making calls for Mitt from
one’s home using the Romney for President national

In addition to covering the Romney campaign
nationally and in Maryland,
our program also focused on
out-of-state volunteering.
A third speaker addressed how a Republican
senior club in a non-battleground state like Maryland
could best help Romney win
the presidential election in
swing states like Virginia
and Pennsylvania. Michael
Flanagan, the field director
in Northern Virginia for the
Romney Campaign, gave us
tips about we could help Mitt
in swing states like Virginia.
Among other things, he told
Page 9

us we could get quickly to
the Romney Virginia state
headquarters and volunteer
because their offices are just
over the bridge in Arlington
(and reachable by Metro,
too). He added that at the
headquarters, volunteers
could be trained to make
targeted phone calls (to
key groups) and to canvass
neighborhoods and then be
given group lists to call and
neighborhoods to visit. Call
him (540-206-5431) if interested in further information.
The club will participate in an out-of-state
campaign initiative, the
forming of a national Mitt
Romney Seniors Coalition.
There are some open posi-
tions in the club and workers
are needed for the National
Senior Coalition initiative
and various on-going campaigns. Bumper stickers,
signs and some campaign
materials are also available.
Members and any others
who are able to volunteer,
want campaign materials or
have questions about these
things should contact our
president by emailing him
at [email protected] (a
new email address) or by
calling 301-873-6119.
Join us for another
quality event on Sept. 24,
expand your political horizons and enjoy the conversation and some coffee and
pastries.
Anecdotes of Congress and
Its Neighbors Over Two Centuries
The E&R Department is pleased to welcome
back author and historian
Anthony S. Pitch (pictured)
on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 1:30
PM in Clubhouse I. Pitch
will talk about Anecdotes of
Congress and Its Neighbors
Over Two Centuries. He
will entertain with amusing,
amazing, sad, dramatic and
informative anecdotes of
Congress and its neighbors
on Capitol Hill, including
stories about the joys of
discovery in the Library of
Congress, a public hanging
at the site of the Supreme
Court, and the humorous
side of Congressman Abraham Lincoln.
Pitch is the author of a number of books
including The Burning of
Washington: The British Invasion of 1814, a selection of
the History Book Club. The
White House announced
that President Clinton read
it on vacation. He is invited
annually to give a speech at
Fort McHenry on the anniversary of Francis Scott
Key writing the words to the
national anthem. Another
book, “They Have Killed
Papa Dead!” - The Road
to Ford’s Theatre, Abraham
Lincoln’s Murder, and the
Rage for Vengeance, received the Arline Custer
Memorial Prize for best
book from the Mid-Atlantic
Regional Archives Conference.
He has been featured on C-Span TV, The
History Channel, National
Geographic TV, PBS, NPR,
Fox News, Voice of America, BBC, TV2Denmark, TV
New Zealand, and Czech
TV. He narrated inside the
White House for Tribune
Broadcasting TV. He is a
former Associated Press
broadcast editor for Pennsylvania and senior writer
in the books division of U.S.
News & World Report in
Washington, D.C. Tickets,

Peripheral Neuropathy Group of Leisure World
By Herb Fine, 1-240-669-7908, fi[email protected] (note the change)
We are designating Sept. 30 as our next
meeting due to the Jewish
holidays.
Allan Doris, Leisure World resident, lectured to our group at our
last meeting and quoted
Dr. Gary Samuelson: “The
three most basic principles of health are simply
diet, sleep and exercise.
The truth is that the body
relies on the things that we
eat in order to maintain the
health of the cells. What
we eat is probably the
most important way to
give our body the strength,
health, and wellness that it
needs in order to be able to
thrive. …One of the major
elements in our body is a
communicative system
called Redox Signaling
It is the signaling process
that allows cells to detect
damage and to repair or
replace those with healthy
neighboring cells. Redox
Signaling messengers allow the body to carry out
this vital programming.
So if we supplement these
molecules, because they
do degrade with time,
we’re able to positively
affect the health of our
tissues.” Hence, both
Charles Tang, our secre-
tary, and I are participating
in the ASEA program and
will keep you advised as
to our progress.
At our last meeting I told you about Daisy
Fields, a 97-year-old
woman, who decided to
write again after reading
about “Anecdotal Tales”
in the Leisure World News.
Unfortunately, she suffered a cardiac difficulty
and was hospitalized. She
called me and advised
that she was home and
was given a copy of her
“Anecdotal Tales” and she
is thrilled.
In each PN transcript, we include the
multiple ways to induce
PN. Autoimmune Sensory
Neuronitis (Ganglioneuritis) results from inflammation of the sensory
neurons in the sensory
or dorsal root ganglia. It
can effect small or large
fibers and cause pain, loss
of sensation, incoordination or gait instability.
Ganglioneuritis is sometimes associated with
Sjogren’s syndrome. For
those who present such a
clinical picture of sensory
gangleoneuritis, identification and treatment are
absolutely requisite.

What is the Mutual Readiness Program all about?
From the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee
The Leisure World Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee (EPAC) has
begun a series of briefings
to introduce Mutual board
presidents and the chairs of
other Leisure World organizations or their representatives to a proposed Mutual
Readiness Program.
What are the objectives
of the Mutual Readiness
Program?
1. To assist each Mutual to
establish and implement an
emergency plan.
2. To have each Mutual
appoint a point of contact for
the EPAC if a Mutual does
not have a representative on
the committee.
3. To have EPAC members
ready and willing to assist the
Mutuals in their plans.
4. To make other relevant
organizations aware of the
program and how they might
get involved.
What are some considerations for a Mutual Readiness Program?
1. The Mutual Readiness
P r o g r a m w i l l d i ff e r
depending on the physical
structure of the Mutual (for
example, the program for
houses would be different
than for high-rises).
2. What things are now in
place in the Mutual?
3. What are concerns of
residents and how should
they be addressed: how
to involve residents in
developing an emergency
preparedness plan?
4. An emergency plan
should include provisions
for emergency kits for the
home, car, and pets: what is
really important?
How would residents
participate in developing an
emergency preparedness
plan?
• Mutual residents would
meet in small groups (for
example, half a floor in a
high-rise or a cul-de-sac of
houses).
• Each group would make
a plan for the residents in
the group.
• The plan would typically
involve an inventory of
the special needs of each
resident in the event of an
emergency (for example,
help required if the elevators
are not working or a reliable
source of oxygen).
• Groups are encouraged
to develop an emergency
communication plan such
as a telephone tree or
subscribing to One Call
Now.
• Groups would meet
periodically to keep
information up-to-date and
to welcome new members.
What can residents do
now?
Ask your Mutual board
members what they think
about a Mutual Readiness
Program and what can be
done in your Mutual.
What are the desired
future conditions?
After implementation of the
Mutual Readiness Program,
Page 11
we would hope for:
• Increased Mutual/resident
awareness of the need to
have current emergency
plans so that they are ready
and prepared to react to
incidents, natural and manmade, that may impact their
health and safety, cause
them to shelter in place, or
evacuate their homes.
• Improved community
response time and capability
to react to incidents that
require activation of the
Leisure World Emergency
Plan so as to:
– React to and nullify
the incident threat to the
community.
– Contribute to reducing
human stress and confusion
and collateral damage
to property and people
during extreme incidents
that require additional
emergency resources from
the county and/or state fire,
police, emergency medical,
or other first responders.
Jewish Residents of Leisure World –
Tashlich & Sukkah Rituals By Jonas Weiss
On the first day of
Rosh Hashanah it is cus-
tomary to symbolically cast
off one’s sins by throwing
crumbs of bread upon the
waters and saying a prayer
in a ritual called Tashlich. At
Leisure World, we do this
every year at the pond in
front of the Overlook building. Join us on Monday, Sept.
17 at 4 PM for this occasion.
Succot will be celebrated from the evening of
Sept. 30 through Oct. 7, and
will be followed by Shmini
Atzeret, when Yiskor will
be recited. It is customary
to eat in a sukkah during
Succot to commemorate
the temporary shelters used
in the desert after the Jews
escaped slavery in Egypt. We
have an annual tradition of
celebrating with a temporary
sukkah in the parking lot of
the Interfaith Chapel, decorated by residents and young
children from a local school.
Elaine Schenberg (301-5980079) chairs a committee to
decorate and plan services in
the succah. The succah will
be open daily from Monday,
Oct. 1 to Friday, Oct. 5 from
3 to 5 PM and for evening
services on Sunday, Sept. 30
and Monday, Oct. 1 at 7:30.
There will be a open house
for the entire community on
Sunday, Oct. 7 from 11 am
to 3 PM.
Our first brunch of
the season is Sunday, Oct.
21 at 10 am in Clubhouse I.
There will be an expanded
menu and a musical program
by Freda Enoch.
Donations for Yiskor, Kiddush, an Oneg, or
general tzedukah should go
to Susan Weiss at 3739 Glen
Eagles Drive, Silver Spring,
MD 20906.
Donations for the
Torah fund or prayer books
should be sent to Ellen
Zweig, 3210 N. Leisure
World Blvd. Apt. 504 (Vantage Point West), Silver
Spring, MD 20906. The
minimum donation for these
funds is $25.

assist in any of our many
activities? Contact Walter

EDUCATION
NEW – Basics of Point and Shoot Digital
Photography, a CLL class: Buy a new digital camera
or get one for a gift from your children? Kind of confusing when you see all the little icons telling you that
this is for a specific condition, that for another. This
is a beginner course for residents who have point and
shoot digital cameras and would like to understand
the features offered and to know how to get the most
out of the camera. Sessions include: Basic features
of the Point and Shoot Digital Camera that enable
the average photographer to take photos that are
close to perfect from a technical standpoint using
the various options that are built into the camera. Instructor Fred Shapiro will discuss how these features
relate to photo concept and composition. Portraits,
close-ups and landscapes; three diverse programs
in the camera that enable the photographer to take
advantage of the capabilities of the point and shoot
camera and produce viable pictures of subjects near
and far. Action photography, night scenes and the
various modes that are built into the point and shoot
to enable everyone to take photographs under many
difficult conditions. Participants will take a look at the
many icons that are very narrow interest but available
when you have unusual conditions to photograph.
And, finally, Fred will discuss and demonstrate the
video clip mode that enables you to capture motion
and sound when appropriate to enhance the slide

Hispanos de Leisure
World Presents the
Movie “Entre Nos”
By CM
The Hispanos de Leisure World will present
the movie “Entre Nos” on Friday, Sept. 21 at 3 PM in
Clubhouse I. Please check the directory in the lobby
for room location.
This story is based on facts which offers
a fresh take on the issue of new immigrants in the
U.S.A. Mariana totes her two children from Colombia to reunite with her husband in Queens, N.Y. Her
life is devastatingly turned around when her husband
abandons the family. The woman and her kids have
to fend for themselves in a foreign country. Mariana
desperately searches for work. In the end, she resourcefully navigates a surprising avenue for making some
money, the city’s recycling. Subtitles in English.
Members and all residents are welcome to
attend. Come early, seating is limited. Refreshments
are available. Donations are accepted.

Community Name
Change
Ross Cortese
had the vision of a community on vacant land
in a wonderful area and
built a wonderful senior
community which has
been enjoyed by thousands. It would be an
honor to the memory of
Mr. Cortese to change the
name to Rossmoor Golf
& Country Club.
It is a upscale
name and probably
would attract many baby
boomers who are ready
for retirement.

R
Community
Name
Change
We believe that
if the name of Leisure
World has to be changed,
that we should consider
giving our community
a more upscale and
prestigious name that
reflects our homes’
values, for marketing
and amenities. We do
not think that it should
have anything to do
with Aspen Hill, as there
have been some negative
connotations associated
with that name. Since
our community has a
gate at Norbeck Road,
and that area of Route
28 has attractive homes
and a beautiful country
club, our proposal is to
re-name the community
“Norbeck Golf and
Country Living.” This
sounds, to us, very
upscale and attractive!

Television in the Stein
Room
Every time I have
dined in the Stein Room,
or just passed through,
Fox News has been playing on one of the televisions – usually the large
TV over the bar. I find this
very objectionable. My
objection is not because
I am a liberal Democrat;
I would find it just as
objectionable if MSNBC
was playing. The Stein
Room should be a pleasant place with a convivial
atmosphere where one can
enjoy dinner and drinks. It
is not the place to be subjected to partisan politics.
If you agree with
me, please contact your
Mutual representative on
the Restaurant Committee
and ask them to implement a policy not to show
Fox News or MSNBC on
the Stein Room televisions.

Governing Documents
and a Challenge
The Leisure
World Community Corporation has established
a Special Committee to
review our community’s
governing documents to
improve the governance
of Leisure World, which
is an excellent step in the
right direction. However,
unless communities entice
talented residents within
them to get on the governing boards and their
committees, adopting or
creating even the best of
governing documents will
not help communities in
any possible way.
Thus, the challenge for this special
committee and for that
matter, all of us, is not
only to come up with
incredibly efficient governing documents, but
also to find a way to get
the talented people on the
Board and all committees.
Otherwise, we will be duplicating the governance
of communities, cities,
and townships which are
stagnant, uncaring, selfserving, wasteful and
inefficient.
I would like residents and members of the
Board and all committees
to review this quote from
Kojo Nnamdi in the July
15, 2012 edition of The
Washington Post concerning city governance: “. .
. no political operations
or machine exists here.
The result is that a relatively small percentage
of the city’s remarkable
talent pool is interested
in running for office,
which sometimes makes
room for less qualified
opportunists who view
public office as a lifestyle
upgrade . . . “
Please note that,
unlike cities and townships, Leisure World has
limited financial resources, funded only by community fees, so good governance by experienced
and qualified residents is
of paramount importance
for Leisure World.
It is a challenge—but then there is
a bigger challenge: how
to motivate many longtime Board and/or committee members to go to
the sidelines, be happy
with their service, and
act as happily glorified
elder statespersons. I
urge residents to think
about this, be aggressive
to take on this challenge,
and find an effective way
to tap the resources of the
talent among us.

“Gandhian Ecology” — Topic of Unitarian Universalists’ Sept. 25 Meeting
by Mary Beth Mason
The September
program of the Unitarian
Universalist Association of
Leisure World will feature
Dr. Larry Shinn (pictured),
a Hindu scholar and recently retired president of
Berea College in Kentucky.
Dr. Shinn will speak on
“Gandhian Ecology: A Hindu
View of the World.”
Mahatma Gandhi is
regarded by many as a human
ecologist, and much has been
written apropos Gandhi’s
contribution to the early
environmentalist movement.
Dr. Shinn’s presentation will
help us understand the ecological dimensions of Gandhi’s thinking and practice
by explaining how ethics,
ecology, and politics were
indistinguishably interwoven in Gandhian philosophy
and social practice.
Dr. Shinn received
his doctorate in history of religions from Princeton University in 1972. He received
his Master of Divinity from
Drew Theological School in
1968, and his bachelor’s degree from Baldwin Wallace
College in 1964. He served
as president of Berea College
from 1994 through 2012.
Founded in 1855, Berea
was the first interracial and
coeducational college in the
South. Today it provides a
tuition-free education to all
its students, while requiring
every student to work at
least 10 hours a week. The
college’s primary mission is
to provide access to higher
education for the economically disadvantaged youth
of the Southern Appalachian
region.
Our Sept. 25 meeting is in Fellowship Hall at
the Leisure World Inter-Faith
Chapel. A refreshment period
will begin at 2:30 PM, and
the meeting and program will
follow. You do not have to
be a UU member to attend.
Our October meeting is on Wednesday, the
24th — rather than our usual
Tuesday — and will feature
Montgomery County Councilmember Nancy Floreen
(Democrat, at-large). She
will discuss important issues
facing Montgomery County,
including land use, zoning,
transportation, and the budget. She says that she is eager
to hear from you, so bring
your questions and concerns
for the Q&A session.
If you would like to
receive our monthly newsletter, please join our group.
The $20 annual membership
fee helps defray the costs of
stipends for speakers and
room rental fees. Please address any questions about our
UU organization, including
becoming a member, to
President Cecil Uyehara
([email protected] or 301229-3184).

new meaning in life that may be experienced following
the loss of a loved one.

Have You Considered the Conversation?
by Fred Shapiro, JRLW Community Liaison and Beth Shapiro, LCSW, JSSA Senior Services
Coming of Age in
Maryland (COA), a social
program for older adults and
its agency partners in cooperation with JRLW and the
Leisure World Compassion
and Choices Club is hosting
a free program in the auditorium of Clubhouse II on
Monday, Oct. 15 from 1:30
to 2:30 PM. The program will
highlight services available
to older adults through Coming of Age in Maryland’s
social service partners. The
highlight of the program
will be the screening of the
award-winning documentary
Consider the Conversation:
How to Talk About End-ofLife Issues. You are invited
to come 30 minutes early to
pick up information from
resource tables outside the
auditorium and to stay afterward for a discussion with
a panel of local experts. No
reservations necessary.
The COA organizations represented will
include JSSA (Jewish Social
Services Agency), JCCGW
(Jewish Community Center
of Greater Washington),
Premier Homecare, and
JCA (Jewish Council for the
Aging).
Consider the Conversation examines multiple
perspectives on end-of-life
care and includes information and experiences gathered from interviews with
patients, family members,
doctors, nurses, clergy, social
workers, and national experts
from around the country. It
does not seek to hand down
answers or tell you what to
talk about. To the contrary, it
encourages viewers to reflect
on having this important
conversation with those they
care most about. The film
provides the opportunity, or
one might say the excuse, to
discuss the questions all of us
need to consider but may be
apprehensive about.
The producers have
three goals for this film: 1. To
change the current American
attitude from one that predominantly views end-of-life
as a failed medical event to
one that sees it as a normal
process rich in opportunity
for human development; 2.
To inspire dialogue between
patient and doctor, husband
and wife, parent and child,
clergy and congregant; 3. To
encourage medical professionals, healthcare organizations and clergy to take the
lead in counseling others.

and palliative care providers

Leisure World Stroke Support Group
By Frank Gonzales
On Wednesday, Sept. 26, the Leisure World
chapter of the Montgomery County Stroke Association
will meet in Clubhouse II at 1:30 PM. In the first part of
the program, attendees will tell the story of memorable
vacations they have experienced—the outstandingly good
and the outstandingly awful. This should make for some
entertaining recitals.
The second half of our program will call for
separating into two groups: stroke survivors and caregivers.
This will enable members of each group to describe, share
and learn from problems experienced by others—often
similar to their own.
Light refreshments will be served and further
information is available from Frank Gonzales at 301-8365046.

“Enchanting Pearls” to be Showcased at Oct. 10 Lapidary Club Meeting
by Mary Beth Mason
The Gem, Lapidary and Mineral Society of Leisure World’s Oct. 10 meeting will be held in Clubhouse II,
beginning at 7 PM. The program will feature a film entitled,
“The Pearl Story.” All residents are welcome to attend.
A pearl is the only gemstone in the world that
is perfect the moment it is found. For centuries, pearls
were the most rare and precious of all jewels, prized more
than sapphires, rubies, emeralds and even diamonds. Our
program will explain how pearls grow and how they are
harvested, and we will hear fascinating stories about those
who have given their fortunes, and sometimes their lives,
in pursuit of the perfect pearl. If you have pearl specimens
or jewelry, you are invited to bring them to the meeting
for show and tell.
A club newsletter, Howl of the Rockhounds, is
distributed monthly to members. Nonmembers and visitors are welcome to sign up to receive The Howl electronically for three months. For information on joining
the Lapidary Club, please contact President Ray Cudmore
(301-598-3130, [email protected]). For information
on programming, contact Program Chair Chuck Mason
(301-933-3093, [email protected]).
We regretfully say goodbye to Treasurer Marc
Weber, who has recently moved out of our community.
When Marc came to Leisure World about 10 years ago,
he was already interested in gemstones and their settings
because he had been in the jewelry business ever since
joining his father’s company at the age of 15. Marc discovered our society at one of Leisure World’s annual club
fairs. He became a member in about 2005 and soon became
our treasurer, an office he has held until the present. We
appreciate Marc’s dedication to our club both as treasurer
and for his assistance from time to time as shop steward.

Mary Marceau:
During hot summer days,
R
I am reminded to sit
quietly and recall times
when certain memories
bring laughter. Long ago,
I was not impressed with
folks who rode in pickup
trucks. My family has a
habit of driving four-door
black cars. My impressions
changed over time, as I
married and raised five
sons. Several times I was
introduced to their trucks.
I seldom climbed in for a
ride. One son bought a dark
green truck several years
ago. When his son was old
enough to drive and later
went to college, it was
his favorite ride. Earlier
this summer, his daughter,
home from college, came
in the same green truck to
take me to lunch. Horrors!
I remembered the time
when I could not climb in
that truck. She said, “Wait,
Grandma, let me help you.”
I smiled at her, took a deep
breath and pulled myself
up and in. She flashed a big
smile in return. It was a real
hot day and she explained
that the a.c. did not work.
We had a nice lunch at
Panera’s, inside where
it was cool! A few years
before, her dad had told
her about my “disability”
(hip replacement) and we
laughed. Her dad expressed
surprise later, when she
told him. The guys are big
time crab pickers and the
brothers try to out-do each
other. They cannot beat me,
though. For my birthday, the
weather cooled temporarily
and my son drove to get
me in his station wagon!
We had a family gathering
of the Frederick County
clan and celebrated with a
crab feast, complete with
sides of cold slaw, potato
salad and some barbeque
chicken,
strawberry
shortcake and a new coffee
mug, featuring a Maryland
Blue Crab assorted coffees
and teas! When we got
in the “wagon” to come
home, I noticed the brown
truck was gone. We talked
about the old pick-up
truck previously driven
by a relative! It was new,
in 1989. The Chevy truck
had been on the road for
289,000 miles was in need
of tires, brakes and a host
of other parts and had no
a.c. My sons’ oldest bought
a new truck this summer
and the old one was
advertised on eBay. Every
family needs a truck and
they accepted an offer for
$500. Sold!
***
Herb Fine: I practiced
law in the City of New
York and its environs from
1943 to 1993, a plaintiff’s
civil practice. About 1960 I
was sent to Judge Flynn, a
gigantic man, who presided
in the Supreme Court,
New York County. It was
a Friday afternoon and the
court had each of us in
front separately to discuss
settlement. The suit was
instituted by the claimant,
my client, inasmuch as
about $12,000 worth of
equipment was stolen
from his vehicle’s trunk.
The insurance company’s
lawyer went first. Then it
was my turn. I had known
Judge Flynn for many years
and had tried several cases
before him. He said, “Herb,
it is an out of state carrier
and they are paying an
attorney each day. I want
you here every morning
and afternoon next week.
When the cost to their
attorney reaches a large
sum they will settle.” I
said, “Your Honor I will
be here every morning
and afternoon save for this
coming Friday afternoon
as I am leaving with my
wife and another couple
for a weekend’s vacation.”
“Fine,” he said, “I want
you here, every morning
and every afternoon. “
Needless to say, on Friday
afternoon I met with my
wife and friends in the
Bronx at 12:30 PM and left
on vacation. Upon return,
I presumed that the court
would start proceedings at
10 am I arrived at that hour
the court had started the
trial at 9:30 am. As I entered
the courtroom, Judge Flynn
immediately stopped the
proceedings and turned
to me, with his huge head
nestling on his hands and
exploded: “Where were
you on Friday afternoon?”
I replied, meekly: “ Judge,
it was a question of whom I
was more afraid, you or my
wife.” He laughed until he
finally said: “ Sit down.”
Which I promptly did.

PROVIDING EXCELLENCE
IN PHYSICAL REHABILITATION
Diabetes Corner
Submitted by Anita Ehrstein RPh, CDE. Cordinator
Leisure World Diabetes Education Program
Welcome to The
Diabetes Corner. In these
articles we will discuss
topics of interest to
the diabetic community
of Leisure World. Look
for this column in each
issue of the Leisure World
News. The Leisure World
Medical Center is offering American Diabetes
Association approved
diabetes counseling, diabetes and pre diabetes
education classes, nutrition counseling and
the diabetes education
PLUS program at the
Leisure World Medical
Center. The next session
of classes begins soon.
You must pre register to
attend.
Diabetes Education Plus is a two month
program focusing on diabetes education, nutrition
education, weight management, if needed, and
includes seated exercise
classes. Tuition may be
reimbursed by insurance
for diabetics For more
information about these
programs and to register
for classes, please call
301-460-5922.
Blood Glucose
Monitoring is an effective tool in the management of diabetes. Using
the results of blood glucose testing will help you
make informed decisions
about your food choices,
exercise and medication.
Testing blood sugars in
the morning before a meal
will provide information
about the effectiveness
of your medication regimen. Testing blood sugars
two hours after a meal
will provide information
about the effectiveness of
medication and the impact of your food choices.
Testing at bedtime will
help prevent episodes of
low blood glucose during
the night or artificially
high morning readings.
Ask your diabetes educator or health care provider
what your goals should be
and how your medication
should affect your blood
sugar throughout the day.
Everyone should know
how their diabetes medication works to lower
their blood sugar. Be sure
to bring your logbook
and your blood glucose
monitor to each doctor
appointment. Check
your monitor for accuracy
with fresh test solution
each time you get a new
supply of strips. This
information will help you
make good choices in you
diabetes management.
The next meeting of the Diabetes Support Group is Thursday,
Sept. 20, 1:30 – 2:30 PM
Clubhouse I. Join Anita
Ehrstein RPh, CDE, coordinator of the Leisure
World Diabetes Education Program to discuss
the how, when, why
and what then of blood
glucose monitoring for
better diabetes control.

Center of Lifelong Learning Schedules
Digital Photography with Point and Shoot By Fred Shapiro, Instructor
Have you recently purchased a digital
camera or have family
make you a present of
one? You looked at the few
pages of instructions that
tell you about the camera,
but there is much you
would like to know that is
not there. Looks threatening. It need not be if you
sign up for the classes
scheduled by the Center
for Lifelong Learning in
October and November.
In fact, the class will
open the door on a whole
new way to look at your
surroundings and capture
those moments, which are
precious to you.
If you think back
to the days you put a roll
of film into a camera and
took pictures of family,
vacations or enjoyable
moments in your life,
you realize how limited
we were by the number
of photos available in a
single roll of film. How
often did one roll of 24
photos contain pictures
taken in December, May
and July? And the cost to
process and print the pic-
tures was relatively high.
Today’s digital
camera opens a broad
horizon for you to capture
and cherish the happy moments of life with none of
the limitations of the roll
of film. A memory chip
inserted in the digital camera can provide hundreds
and thousands of opportunities to record the images
you see. Once collected,
you can select those few
which epitomize the experience that you enjoyed.
The CLL classes are a
means of understanding
the various functions built
into the camera and how
these functions enable you
to take photos comparable
to any of the best you have
seen posted in the galleries
of Leisure World.
When the Camera
Club was asked if we had
someone who would like
to teach courses in digital
photography, I did not
have to think twice about
volunteering. Although
I have been an amateur
photographer since my
teen years, I had not taken
my interest beyond that of
family, friends and travel.
In the old days when we
lived in an apartment in
Brooklyn, I would turn our
kitchen and bathroom into
a darkroom to develop
and enlarge black and
white photos. But serious
enough to join a camera
club; no.
Coming to Leisure World was when I
began to take my picture
taking seriously, joining
the Rossmoor Camera
Club, competing on a
regular basis and hanging
pictures in Clubhouses I
and II and the Interfaith
Chapel. The advent of digital photography made it
considerably easier to take
and produce color in my
photographs and to use the
computer to improve the
images. With experience
and considerable picture
taking, I learned enough
to conduct workshops
in Vantage Point East to
teach others about the new
technology.
There is much
that one can do with an
inexpensive digital point
and shoot camera. You do
not have to be a genius in
the technology of photography. In the old days, one
had to know all about setting the camera’s speed,
apertures, focus, etc. to
make a good picture. Today the digital camera embodies modes that do the
thinking for you. All you
need to do once you know
how the modes perform,
is to compose the picture
and wait for the right moment to trigger the shutter.
That is what we will be
doing in class; learning
how to best understand
and use the technology
that is encompassed in
the relatively inexpensive
camera our children have
gifted to us. Sign up for
the class and then surprise
yourself with the quality
of the pictures you will
take.

Leisure World Computer Center
By Roy Rosfeld
The Introduction
to Computers and Windows 7 classes began on
Tuesday, Sept. 4 and will
continue through Sept. 25.
This course will help newcomers get up and running
in the computer world.
This course includes a
general introduction to
computers and practice
using a keyboard and
mouse. The operating
system that is taught is
Microsoft Windows 7.
Here is a change
in the center’s schedule.
The usual times and dates
have not been changed –
take a look at the calendar
on the door or on the bulletin board in the back of
the room. We have had
several requests from
folks who cannot make
our usual schedule. So,
we have now added an
additional time to our
schedule. We will now
be open on the first and
third Wednesdays of the
month from 7 to 9 PM.
These will be open sessions where you are free
to drop in and use the systems in the center. I hope
this will accommodate
those folks who cannot
make the regular sessions
during the morning and
mm
afternoon sessions.
We hope to be
able to start holding some
“dropin” sessions in the
near future. Take a look
at the bulletin board in
the back of the room for
descriptions of the various
dropin sessions we will be
running.
We can still use
folks to act as monitors.
Their job is to open the
center and help users
to get on a system. Occasionally a monitor is
sufficiently experienced
and is able to assist a visitor in running computer
programs.
If you have any
suggestions for what
kinds of services we
might be able to engage
in, please let one of our
staff know.
to miss a week, you can
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.

You may have seen the previous articles about
the “[email protected] and may
be wondering what a “yahoogroup” really is? First
thing to know is that “yahoogroups” are a collection
of people that use a computer, access the Internet, and
have a common interest. You can find a “group” of
interest by using a computer and going to http://www.
yahoogroups.com on the internet. The yahoogroup
website list these interests: Animals, Computers &
Internet, Entertainment & Arts, Games, Health &
wellness, Music, Regional, Romance & Relationships,
Science, Business & Finance, Cultures & Community,
Family & Home, Government & Politics, Hobbies
& Crafts, Recreation & Sports, Religion & Beliefs,
Schools & Education.
The common interest is the “Leisure World
of Maryland” community. The communication can
be in the form of emails, files, links database, photos
and a calendar. Our group focuses mostly on emails;
this is commonly called a “message board.” It is like
a virtual “town meeting” and provides a tool to communicate with people of common interests.
Within each yahoogroup there are different
levels of membership; owner, moderator, and member.
The owner follows the rules of Yahoo and also establishes the rules of the specific group. The owner has the
permission and authority to add or remove members,
modify memberships and email options, add or modify
moderators, set the preferences, and in general, manage
the group. The responsibility of the moderator is to
review content of emails to determine if the email is
in compliance with the legal limits established by 1)
yahoo and 2) the specific group. The moderator may
also provide backup support to the owner.
Paul Bessel created the leisureworldmd@
yahoogroup.com in August 2010 for residents after a
few residents thought we needed a tool to communicate
within the community. The group was running with
about 30 members for the first year. Paul turned over
the “ownership” of the group to me.
In February 2012 we thought we could increase
our membership (and voices) by establishing the group
as an official Leisure World group. This required setting
up a board of directors, by-laws, charter and rules. We
were successful in completing the process and became
a group. The group has grown to more than 190 members with new requests weekly. Once established as
an official group we are allowed to publish articles in
the Leisure World News on a semi-monthly basis and
all of the benefits of groups, organizations and clubs
within the Leisure World community.
Our group has been using emails and the “hot
topics” are sometimes listed in the Leisure World News
articles. We give residents the opportunity to become
members by providing two emails addresses for them
to email their requests. Once you become a member
you can email, post files, post links, post photos and
every member will have access to it.
We are working with the community to
make a positive impact by following the process of
informing the members of different items occurring
throughout the day, week and month. We have been
successful in small ways by extending the pool hours,
getting input from advisory committees, and having
dialogue with board and advisory committee members. We also encourage members to become active
in the community; not simply emailing the group. The
group helps us to identify with others of like minds
but once that happens we hope the issues or problems
will be resolved through communication outside of
the group and processed with a solution through the
LW governance to the mutual, an advisory committee
or the LWCC board level.
We currently have several members from the
LWCC BOD and from 15 advisory committees and
almost every Mutual. Interest is growing and we are
having an impact on the community. If you are interested in joining the group send an email to joytemp45@
yahoo.com or [email protected] with your first and
last name, name of mutual and your phone number.
Tennis Season Coming to an End with Plans for
Annual Dinner By Fred Shapiro, President
As the season
comes to an end and plans
have been finalized for
the annual dinner, the
Tennis Club put aside the
tournament competitions
for this year due to lack of
support.
The annual dinner is Sunday, Oct. 14 at
Bedford Court starting at
4:30 PM. The meal will
start with a sumptuous
salad bar, followed by a
main course buffet with
a choice of a chicken,
salmon or lamb. Wine is
included and the dessert
bar will be fantastic. Cost
for the dinner is $29. You
can mail the checks to
the LW Tennis Club, c/o
Suzanne Miles, 3200 N.
Leisure World Blvd., Apt.
1017, Silver Spring, MD
20906.
At its meeting
Sept. 6, the club members chose to cancel the
tournaments for this year
and discussed a different
format for next year. Siggi
Kaeufer has volunteered
to plan the new concept for the tournaments.
Christa Storm will backup
Siggi in this endeavor.
While we do not
have a Pickleball tournament, we do have a growing number of residents
taking part in the game.
Thursday and Saturday
mornings find at least two
courts and people sitting
on the sidelines waiting to
play. If interested, contact
John Tremaine (301-4381666).
FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL LIVING IN LEISURE WORLD,
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY RESIDENT TO
REQUEST THAT THEIR GUESTS DESTROY OR RETURN
TO THEM, EXPIRED VISITOR’S PASSES.
The club approved a tentative date for
the trip to the Allenberry
Resort next year. The time
will be mid-august and the
show will be Hairspray.
Our September
monthly meeting had the
best turnout of members
this year. This can be
attributed to the guests
we had for the evening.
Jolene King, assistant
general manager of Leisure World, provided
insight into the work
that is to be done on a
regular basis and in the
future on the courts and
answered questions from
the members. The threeperson team from “5
Hour Energy” explained
the benefits of their sugar
free energy drink, and
answered concerns about
using the drink and distributed samples.
The next, and final meeting of the club for
the year is Thursday, Oct.
4 at 7 PM in Clubhouse II.
Personal
T
o my many friends here in LW, my sincere
thanks and appreciation for the beautiful cards, phone
calls, personal visits and prepared meals I received
during my recent recuperation from eye surgery.
Your encouraging words and overall concerns were a
blessing and I couldn’t have done it without all of you.
If I had to be anywhere in this situation, I am glad I
am in Leisure World. Thanks to all of you.

L.W. Golf
By Rita Molyneaux
The 9-Hole Ladies opened play for the
final week of August with
a Red & White Tournament. Marilyn Zeiberg
easily won top honors
with a score of 33, followed by Janet Danziger
in second place with 36.
Dee Smiley scored 37
to take third honors, and
Shirley Gilmore shot 38
to win fourth place. And
no ties!
Sept. 4 the Niners
turned out for a day of
Poker, using golf holes
instead of cards. Winners
were arrived at by using
the high scores on holes
rather than low scores.
Janet Danziger won the
first hand when she posted
4 7’s. Lois Page and
Helen Montanero took
home some of the prize
money when they both
posted three 8’s on their
cards, on a day when the
weather was as hot as their
“hands.”
The Men the
following day, Aug. 29,
competed in a Best A/B
+ C/D format. First place
winners with a score of
115 was won by Team Joe
Jackson, Bob Hanley, Irv
Eisen and Marvin Tabb.
In a tie for second place
with scores of 120 were
Team Doug Brasse, Bob
Brown and Jack Bieri and
Team Bob Windley, Bob
Hudson and Jerry Page.
Of special interest in this event, both Joe
Jackson and Bob Hanley
shot their age of 76 and
helped win the ABCD
going away. Now that
is a real noteworthy and
admirable achievement.
Congratulations from all
of us, guys. Keep it up!
More Congratulations! This time to Ray
Fox who made a Hole in
One at #16 on Friday,
Aug. 31. He used a six
iron to accomplish this
memorable feat.
On Sept. 5 Hobbits Glen came to join
the Leisure World Men
and Ladies for a MISGA
Mixer, playing a Compass
Point Format. Among
the first place winners
were Bob Hanley and
Dick Curtin when their
four-some scored 118.
Second place winners
included Bob Hanley
and Irv Eisen with 121,
while Jack Frensilli and
Dick Murphy helped win
third place by scoring 122.
Doug Brasse, Bill Hoing
and Pete Porello contributed as their group took
fourth place at 123. And
again, no ties.
The 18 Hole
Ladies closed out their
August calendar with
their monthly ABCD
Scramble, with top honors
going to Wilma Kennedy,
Kazue Waller, Connie
Park and Nancy Anastasi
as they scored 76. The
team of Kathy Frensilli,
Kay Heier, Rita Molyneaux and Joan Reynolds
was awarded second
place, scoring 80.
On Sept. 6, the
18’s teed off in a light
rain to play their annual
Age Group Tournament.
Mid way, the format was
shortened to nine holes
because of continuing
rain. In Group I winners
were Joan Reynolds, Low
Net at 26, a really nice
score. Hea Soon Kim and
Eun Ae Moon tied for
second Low Net by scoring 33. In Group II, first
Interfaith Committee for the

School is back in
session and the children
are putting to use the
required array of school
supplies so generously
given by the Leisure
World community.
Right now, the attention of the committee
is on the Caps for Kids
drive. It will begin on
Oct. 1 and end on Oct.
31. It is our hope that
every child at Georgian
Forest School will have
a warm cap to wear this
winter.
The
Knitting
Group of Leisure World
have their needles clicking to produce “Caps
for Kids.” The Knitting
Group also includes
people who crochet.
Whether it is crochet or
knit, the beauty of their
arts was made manifest
at the baby shower last
spring! If you are interested in joining this
group, it meets at the Inter-faith Chapel the second and fourth Fridays
of each month from 10
am - noon.
In the event you
do not knit or crochet,
we gratefully accept any
children’s headwear that
was purchased in a store.
I just called Vi Rut-
ledge to see where the
collection points will
be. She will have boxes
in the Leisure World library (Clubhouse I), the
Fish Office (Clubhouse
II), Inter-Faith Chapel
(narthex) and Our Lady
of Grace Church (narthex). At the conclusion
of the event, all caps collected will be taken to
the Inter-Faith Clothing
Center. Families who are
clients of the center can
go there to pick up warm
caps for their children.
Low Net was captured
by Connie Park with 31,
and Jane Hughes won
second Low Net with her
33. Toby Sterling was the
lone survivor in Group III
and took Low Net with
her nice 32. And if anyone
wants to know what the
age ranges were within
each group, tough luck!

Comedy and Humor Club
by Al Karr (301-598-5077), [email protected]
Creativity is intelligence having fun.
--Albert Einstein
We have lots of
fun at the weekly Comedy
and Humor Club meeting
for an hour-and-a-half
every Tuesday at 1:30 PM
in Clubhouse II. And we
invite you, one and all, to
come join in the fun; you
will have a good time.
So it was in the recent
meetings of Aug. 14, 21
and Sept. 4. (Your scribe
was hospitalized on Aug.
28.) No membership report
on Sept. 4 from Treasurer
Sumner Levin because he
was having his own health
problems (but he reported
48 paid-up members on
Aug. 21). We opened the
Sept. 4 meeting with a
song used by the four-man
CAHC traveling troupe of
comics in its presentations
to other groups—Daisy,
Daisy led by Roy Rosfeld.
Then, we had a special
event, with any willing
members telling true, usu-
ally humorous, personal
stories from their own past,
and winding their way to
the microphone to do that
were Vice President Mim
Parizer, Ellie Weingarten,
President Sam Hack, Marvin Jaffe, program Chairwoman Irene Spector,
Lenore Jaffe, me, Marty
Brownstein, Roy, Gloria
Horwitz, and Amy Baltz.
Mim told of going to
a Hallowe’en party, where
an older guy named Harry
hit on her, took her home
and kissed her, apparently
had thought at first that
she was her older sister,
kept phoning her, invited
her to the prom (she said
“no”) but they went out
lots). BTW, they wound
up spending 65 years together. Probably should
have married (just kidding).
Sam told of his
early Navy days, when he
missed showing up for a
draft and was headed for
the brig, but the Navy set
him up anyway, seemingly
being the easiest way out.
Irene told of working
for the postal telegraph and
Australian war supplies
procurement program in
Washington D.C., and
those early days with
husband-to-be Sid and
recited The Ballad of Barbara Fritchie (Frederick’s
own in Revolutionary War
Days (“touch not one gray
hair…”)
Lenore talked
about newlywed days,
working to provide liquid
fuel for the U.S. rocket
program.
I confessed to some
stupid camping antics,
involving burned-out boot
toes, lost wanderings,
and close encounter with
Mama Black Bear and
two cubs on Mount Hood,
Oregon.
Amy told of her father
drinking gobs of coffee
before an army physical
to lower his blood pressure
(it did not work).
Marty recalled playing
softball in school in New
York, when he and friends
cleared a field covered
with weeds, cans, bottles
and garbage, “owned”
the field and played a
game when Jerrry Kronitz
stopped the game to sit
down on second base to
eat a big lunch brought
to him by his Mama. And
when Marty chewed on
some Feen-a-Mint instead
of Chiclets by mistake and,
uh, kind of soiled his cop’s
uniform in a school safety
skit, at age six.
Gloria told of the
time, when she was a
fairly dark-skinned eightyear-old, that a policeman
picked her up and said
that as an apparent black
girl she was in the wrong
neighborhood, but found
out he was wrong when
he took her to her nearby
home.
Roy remembered
starting out as a deputy IRS
director with no money,
car, gas or driver’s license,
needing all of those, but
managed to get them all.
Purveying usual comedy at the Aug. 14 and
21 meetings were Marty,
Robert Kent, Homer Wehr,
Jack Melnick, Gloria, Tom
Willley, Mim, me, Annette
Fasco, Rose Marcus, Marvin, Lenore, Gloria, Libby
Rubin, Irene, Sumner, Sam
and Dolly Benoff.

Democratic Club of Leisure World By Barbara Levin
The Democratic
National Convention is
over; President Barack
Obama has accepted our
party’s nomination to run
for a second term as our
candidate for president
of the United States. The
convention was exciting.
We were thrilled by the
speeches and energized
by the enthusiasm of the
crowd. The messages were
clear “Don’t stop now. We’ve got work to do.” And the Democratic Club
of Leisure World is ready
to step up and show the
president that we are ready
to stand with him and go
“forward.”
On Thursday, Oct.
11 at 6 PM in Clubhouse
I, we will kick-off an Old
Fashion Political Rally
and Ice Cream Social. Cosponsored by Woman’s
Democratic Club of Montgomery County, MD (formerly Woman’s Suburban
Democratic Club); County
Executive Ike Leggett;
senators Roger Manno
and Brian Frosh; delegates
Ben Kramer, Bonnie Cullison, Sam Arora, County
Council members Phil
Andrews, Valerie Ervin,
George Leventhal and
Hans Riemer.
Joanne Benson,
a smart, gutsy, and vivacious politician in the
Democratic Party will
be master of ceremonies.
She was elected to the
Maryland Senate in 2010
after serving five terms in
the House of Delegates.
She is a member of the
Education, Health and
Environmental Affairs
Committee. She received
a bachelor’s degree from
Bowie State University in
elementary education and
went on to get her master’s
degree in curriculum and
instruction from Catholic
University. She is a former school principal and
a school administrator in
Prince George’s County.
Her appearance at the April
13 kickoff of the Obama
Postcard Project helped
inspire volunteer leaders
to step up to that challenge. She knows about
going forward and all the
work that has to be done to
reelect the president, hold
the Senate, and recover the
House.
We will have appearances by some of the
most popular elected officials. Senator Benson will

Leisure World Chorale
By Elaine Nicholson
After a brief siesta following the Leisure World
Chorale’s annual appearance in our community’s Independence Day festivities, the songsters returned to
their Monday afternoon rehearsals on Aug. 13 for “some
singing for fun and learnin’” sessions in Clubhouse I.
Announced also during this interlude was the group’s
intention to increase the number of participants in the
40-plus chorus.
“We welcome interested residents to join us on
any Monday afternoon rehearsal in Clubhouse I at 2,”
said the ensemble’s gifted and multi-talented Interim
Music Director Elaine O’Leary. Serving as conductor
and accompanist, she described the chorale’s mission
as “Good Will Through Music!”
Over the years the Leisure World Chorale (formerly the Choralettes and Choraliers) has entertained
clubs in Leisure World and nearby Montgomery County
communities. The chorale now performs for residents
of nursing, group and assisted living homes as well as
senior citizen and other recreation centers. Programs
are generally enhanced by including novelty numbers,
soloists and dance.
Elaine O’Leary. When virtuoso pianist
O’Leary, a resident, volunteered in 2009 to serve
as accompanist, our then long-time conductor Betty
“Printzy” Printz Sims was wearing two hats—that of
conductor and accompanist. Upon the death of Pat
Dreyling, accompanist, the amazing Printzy, long-time
active member of the early Choralettes, which later,
along with the Choraliers, became the Leisure World
Chorale, assumed the role of conductor. With O’Leary,
an excellent sight-reader, at the piano and Printzy conducting, the synergy between the two raised the natural
ability of our songsters to a higher level of performing.
Similarly, when Printzy retired in mid-2011,
O’Leary was wearing two hats with complete aplomb
and adding segments on musical dynamics along with
the meaning of symbols.
So, dear reader, if you have experience in
conducting and are interested learning more about the
Chorale, please phone O’Leary (301-438-2195).
For information regarding membership, please
call Elaine Schenberg (301-598-0079).
2012-13 Board Members. The first board
meeting of the new season was held on June 10. New
officers and committee chairs are Elaine O’Leary –
interim conductor and accompanist; Phoebe Clarke –
president; Kathleen Kerwin – vice president; Josephine
Bianchi – treasurer; Joan Bowar – secretary; Jean
Hessman – bulletin board/sunshine; Elaine Schenberg – membership; Anne Hahn – librarian; Nancy

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 shred-

Fun and Fancy Notes
By Phyllis Lovett, www.funandfancytheatregroup.org
Monthly Shows:
Our September show,
entitled “Laugh, Sing and
Dance,” was a musical hit.
Newcomers to the stage
conquered their fears,
learned something new
about performing and stated that they had “so much
fun.” Gerry Kaufman, the
director, wishes to express
her regret for not naming
the choreographers for two
numbers: Clydis Kellough
for “Glow Worm” and
Elaine Apter for “Ease
on Down the Road.” October: Jean McGoldrick
will direct a Halloween
spoof. Her shows are
always filled with good
humor. Jean is looking
for a few performers who
can sing a song suitable
for the occasion, such as
“Witchcraft” or “That Old
Black Magic.” You get the
point! If you would enjoy
performing in a comedic
style, give Jean a call (301438-2635). I promise a lot
of laughs for those who
attend.
The Fall Musical: Rehearsals are underway for our November musical review, called “Songs
in His Heart,” celebrating
the music of Richard
Preparing For Emergency Power
Outages
At any given time,
power outages may occur
within the community.
They may be localized
or widespread. Depending on the severity of the
situation, outages may last
for a short time or for an
extended period of time
that could last for several
days.
PEPCO is immediately notified when
outages occur. However,
PEPCO may not always
be able to provide a time
frame for when power will
be restored and this may
cause an undue hardship
on the residents of Leisure
World. With this in mind,
it is recommended all
residents be adequately
prepared for emergency
situations.
When electrical
power is lost, the following
appliances/equipment will
not function: 1) Lights/
electrical outlets, 2) Air
conditioners/furnaces, 3)
Refrigerators/freezers,
4) Portable telephones,
5) Televisions/“Cable
TV,” 6) Automatic garage
doors 7) Stoves/Ovens/
Microwaves (Note: This
list is not all-inclusive).
Remember, to prevent food
spoilage, your refrigerator
and freezer doors should
be kept closed as much
as possible. Also, it is
strongly suggested that
at least one telephone in
your home be permanently
wired, and/or that a fully
charged cell phone is
available at all times.
Emergency Kit:
An Emergency Kit should
be kept in readiness at all
times. Suggested items
to include in this kit are:
1) Flashlight(s) – fully
charged with fresh/extra
sets of batteries, 2) First
Aid Kit, 3) Extra food –
nonperishable, 4) Small
amount of extra cash, 5)
Non-electric can opener,
6) Battery operated radio,
7) List of emergency
contact personnel and
phone numbers, 8)
Additional medication on
hand (Check medicines
regularly to ensure that
they are updated and have
not expired).
Personal Emergency Plan: It is strongly
recommended that each
resident have a Personal
Emergency Plan developed in the event a major
power outage occurs in
Leisure World. The following guidelines will
quickly assist residents
in determining the best
course of action to alleviate a potentially dangerous
situation.
Create A Support System: Have a place
to go where you can stay
warm or cool. 1) Make
arrangements to stay with
a friend in the community
until the situation is corrected or you can safely
return home. However,
if your friend is without
power an alternate place to
stay should be established.
2) (Alternate plan) Stay
with a friend or relative
living outside the community who has power.
3) Inform relatives and/or
close friends you will not
be at your home, but will
be staying elsewhere until
the situation is rectified.
4) If you elect to stay at
your home, have a relative
or friend check on your
welfare periodically.
Before leaving
your unit, be sure all
non-essential appliances
(specifically kitchen appliances) and lights are
turned off.
The Leisure
World Community has
no Trust Properties (i.e.,
Clubhouses, Administration Building, etc.)
equipped to accommodate
individuals overnight in
the event of a power outage. These facilities are
just as susceptible to power
outages as any other building in Leisure World.
When power outages do occur, be assured
that the proper authorities
have been contacted and
are making every attempt
to correct the situation.
These suggestions
and recommendations
have been provided to
assist residents in making
an informed decision
when an unforeseen power
outage occurs.

Writers Workshop of Leisure World
By Regina Featherston
The meeting on
Sept. 6 was wonderful.
Warren Eister kicked it
off. He talked about his
entries into the art show.
He is truly multi talented.
Danuta Montorfano’s beautiful poem
“Mesmerized” presented
a charming word painting. A summer’s day walk
takes us past “gardens
overflowing with pink
and red begonias,” “giant,
golden, fleshy mushrooms
… looking like chalices
filled with rain water.” It
is a walk through Monet’s
garden.
Carlos Montorfano had us rolling in
laughter with his rendition of a baby’s adorable
antics. Everyone loves
watching a baby; that is
until the inevitable poopy
part appears. Then it just
plain stinks.
Tom Anessi satisfied our curiosity concerning his problem with a
bully. Tom realized that
the bully picked him
as a victim because he
appeared to be a weak,
skinny puppy. Tom’s in-

tellect took over when he
saw that the decision of
how to proceed was up
to him. He finally landed
a lucky punch upon his
adversary’s nose, which
the guy promptly returned,
with a knuckle punch. This
made Anessi very angry
until, despite his anger and
fear of reprisal, he found
sweet revenge.
Ron Davis’s two
poems poignantly described the feelings in an
oncologists’ office. First
while awaiting the introductory chemo treatment
and the fear of the unknown. The second poem,
the well-crafted “Four
Words,” describes the
scene as the patient awaits
the results of treatment.
Relief is almost palpable.
Jane Hawes travelled to China in the ‘70’s.
At the welcoming lunch
the travelers were served
inedible food by an indifferent wait staff. The heat
was unbearable and there
was no air-conditioning
anywhere except in the
rooftop bar where the
drinks were served without ice but the beer was
cold. Many adventures
followed, some involved
drunken Germans and
covert governmental exposure of tourist’s film.
Next we visited
London with Lee. There
were double decker busses
and royal treasures. Then
we went to Windsor and
a quick visit to the castle.
We learned of the terrible
fire damage and the valiant
effort of the English it
to restore their priceless
treasure.
York Van Nixon
III’s story of aging girls
whose push-up bras no
longer do the trick and
who looked forward to hip
replacement surgery sent
us into gales of laughter.
Something in the story
said that there was more to
this tale than appeared at
first. The surprise ending
confirmed that assumption. Norman Ochs’,
latest NYC adventure
was shared, with his best
friend, Albert. They went
to 42nd street with $2
and had a great day that
included a one-meatball
dinner, an Italian ice and
an afternoon of fishing for
prizes from a glass case,
using a small derrick.
Verna Denny,
wrote of her two hour,
one-on-one friendship
building experience with
20 something Brian. After
meeting they told a bad
girl lie to get Verna a free
ticket into the Spy Museum where they bonded
and had a great time. Silliness, gifts of chocolates
and the getting to know
you routine led Verna to a
Kumbaya moment when
she learned that a former
black power advocate
and civil rights activist,
could fall in like with a
skinny white boy 35 years
younger than her.
Joan Lees experienced an unexpected
zen-like moment of total
relaxation as she, forced to
clear her mind, waited for
a UPS delivery. A wonderful surprise!
Radha Pillai told
of being forced to baby-sit
her friend’s strange pets—
iguanas. Not fun!
Mary
Zenchoff relived her experiences on an overnight
cruise to celebrate her
friend’s wedding. Very
delicious!
Ten Steps to Take Before Hiring
Domestic Help
A Message from the Department of Security
The Department
of Security would like
to offer 10 steps that you
should take before hiring
domestic help, whether
this is a house cleaner, registered nurse, aide/caretaker or companion. We
ask you to consider the
following, as we do not
want to see our residents
fall victim to someone’s
dishonesty or greed. Also,
we ask you to remember
that the resident is responsible for the conduct of
their employee while they
are in the community.
1. Ask for references. Also ask the
prospective employee to
sign a release so that you
can call and question their
former employers. Often,
without a written release,
former employers will
give only the dates of
employment, as they are
afraid of answering honestly due to legal actions,
which the prospective employee could take without
written authorization.
2. Ask the individual if they are working
for someone else in the
community. If they are,
call the other resident and
find out if they are satisfied
with the individual.
3. Ask your
family to sit in when you
interview the prospective employee. Maybe
they will come up with a
question that you haven’t
thought of and it is always
good to have another
person’s opinion. Additionally, they can look out
for your welfare to help
prevent an unscrupulous
individual is hired.
4. Ask the prospective employee to go
to the Police Department
and obtain a copy of their
arrest record. If they have
never been arrested the
record will so state.
5. Check to see if
the individual works for a
reputable company. Contact several companies
and compare services
provided, qualifications
of the individuals they
hire and the charges for
the services.
6. If you would
like assistance in contacting someone for your
personal assistance needs,
you can call the Leisure
World Social Worker for
referrals.
7. If the employee is going to drive your
vehicle, get a copy of the
prospective employee’s
driver’s license. Also, ask
the individual to obtain a
copy of his or her driving
record from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
8. Think twice
before entrusting an employee with your car keys
or your checkbook.
9. Call your car
insurance company and
make sure that you are
covered if the employee
has an accident while driving your vehicle.
10. Make sure
your homeowner’s insurance policy covers Workman’s Compensation
claims in the event your
employee files a claim.
Follow all of
these steps even if they
seem to be a nuisance. Unfortunately, if a theft or
damages do occur and
the Security Department
becomes involved, it is
usually too late and not
much can be done at that
point.

The Jinny Marsh Trio Presents an American Musical Retrospective
The E&R Department is pleased to
bring this ever-popular
ensemble, The Jinny
Marsh Trio (pictured), to
Leisure World on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 1:30 PM
in Clubhouse II’s Auditorium. The trio’s exciting show of American
popular music features
favorite composers such
as George Gershwin,
Richard Rodgers, Cole
Porter, Harold Arlen,
Irving Berlin and Hoagy
Carmichael. Enjoy the
musical stylings of pianist
Andrew Zatman, along
with trombonist Seymour Greene and vocalist
Cantor Jinny Marsh as
they present some of the
highlights of this golden
era. Tickets are $5 and are
available in the E&R Office in both clubhouses.
Vocalist Marsh
may be best know for
her group, Jinny Marsh’s
Hot Kugel Klezmer Band,
which she formed in
2000. This group performs through out the
Washington metro area
and has produced two cds,
Grandma’s Recipes and
Klezmerika Eklectikca.
Cantor Marsh has also
been nominated for a
Washington Area Music
Association’s (WAMA)
award in the category
World Music as a Vocalist. In addition to performing, Cantor Marsh
conducts all Jewish Life
Cycle events and is a cantor at Temple Beth Torah
in Chantilly, Va. For
this appearance at Leisure World she is joined
Greene and Zatman.
In 1930’s and
1940’s, Greene was playing with the big bands
and he recorded with the
Andrews Sisters and Jack
Teagarden’s band. During
World War II, he traveled
with Irving Berlin, performing in Berlin’s, “This
is the Army.” Greene
has been honored at the
Library of Congress’s
Veteran’s History Project
for his participation as a
soldier in World War II.
As well, he has played
at every inaugural ball
since 1953.
Zatman has performed at the Kennedy
Center ’s Millennium
stage in Washington,
D.C., and at folk festivals,
locally and nationally,
with several different
bands including klezmer.
In addition to performing,
he teaches piano and com-
Shuttle Bus News Alert!
F
or rider convenience, and
in an effort to
balance shuttle bus demand, the Leisure World
Security and Transportation Department initiated
a “Take-a-Number” system for passengers planning to ride the 12:30 or
1:40 PM shuttle bus going
to Aspen Hill on Wednesdays. Since these buses
fill up, while later ones
to Aspen Hill serve fewer
passengers or run empty,
riders are urged to consider making greater use
of any of the other runs,
leaving Leisure World at
2:20, 3 and 3:40 PM.
• For those preferring the 12:30 or 1:40
PM shuttle bus runs,
which accommodates a
maximum of 14 riders,
numbers 1 through 14
will be issued at the E&R
Office in Clubhouse I and
used as follows:
• Each Wednesday, numbered cards will
be issued, no earlier than
noon, for that day’s use on
the 12:30 PM shuttle bus
to Aspen Hill and after
12:30 for the 1:40 PM run.
• Persons requesting a number will
be limited to one number,
for use that day.
• The numbered
card will be returned to
the driver when the rider
boards the bus.
• Only the 12:30
and 1:40 PM shuttle buses
running to Aspen Hill on
Wednesdays will require
numbers for boarding.
All other Aspen
Hill runs, as well as
the Wednesday morning
runs to Olney, will take
place as usual, with no
numbered cards required.

Chess Is No Laughing Matter
By Bernie Ascher
Chess is just not
funny. Everybody knows
that. Many comedians
made a living on routines about various subjects—family members,
lawyers, politics, money
and ethnicity—but never
about chess. Red Buttons,
who had a routine about
famous people who never
had a dinner, never told
a joke about a famous
chess player. Bob Hope,
who travelled around the
world, entertaining troops
during World War II, who
said, “If I had to live my
life over… I wouldn’t
have time,” never told a
joke about chess. Jack
Benny, who got laughs
by being cheap, never
told a joke about chess.
Milton Berle, who got
laughs by stealing other
comedians’ jokes, never
told a joke about chess.
Abbott & Costello, who
had a famous routine
about baseball players’
names (who’s on first?)
and Henny Youngman
(Take my wife…please)
never told a joke about
chess. George Carlin had
a comedy routine about
seven words you could not
say on television. Chess
was not one of them.
Even the Leisure
World Comedy Club,
which makes fun of everything else, does not tell
jokes about chess.
Look at the chess
diagram on this page
(courtesy of Chesslab.
com). Does it make you
laugh? In this Chess Club
game, white should win
the game in two moves.
It is white’s move. The
solution will follow our
reminder that the Leisure
World Chess Club meets
in Clubhouse II at 1-4 PM
Safety is a Priority
A Message from Security
The safety and
protection of our residents is always a primary
concern at Leisure World.
Management is currently
reviewing our safety procedures and 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 en-
ter 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.

moves his Rook to h7
(Checkmate!), unless
black moves his Knight to

Rook to b7), in which case
white moves the Rook to

your skills at some serious (or laughable) chess.
No kidding. See you at

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
