Vol. 1, No. 18 A Unique Way of Life February 28, 2014 Fat Tuesday AROUND The Event Just Got Bigger – and Better! We’re kicking off the month with one of our favorite celebrations and my how it has grown!

The Chapel Choir will sing “When the Saints Go Marching In” so whether you want to bring your cart or just stand and cheer them on, it’s sure to be a sight worth seeing! There will also be a special tribute to our Veterans who will join in the Walking Procession led by King & Queen Sam and Edwina Friedman.

The Fat Tuesday celebration continues in the Fishing Village until 9:00 p.m. where you can enjoy Chef Damian’s Cajun fare, New Orleans style drinks and all your favorite Street Fair fun.

Pisces V Wins Sailfish Classic Menten in the 2014 Reef Cup and first place in the 2012 Reef Cup. One Tournament Left for ORC Sailfish Championship While the sunny skies and balmy breezes have made just about everything on The Reef delightful, those vying for the ORC Sailfish Championship have been a bit “cold” to the temperatures. January’s Reef Cup saw a total of 138 releases, up from 2013, but nowhere near the numbers from past years. With sixteen boats in the fleet, the participant number was the highest in the Sailfish Classic’s history but with just 50 releases, no other records were set. The Menten family aboard their boat PISCES V would take first place with eight releases.

Not only do they pump at a much higher rate in addition, as an Equity Member or Social Member that is staying with the Club, they now automatically calculate in your discount. There is also a new Competitive Model for determining the fuel pricing. If you have been fueling your boat at the Marina this change will be a pleasant surprise, but if you have not traditionally looked to the Club for your marine fuel there are now more reasons than ever. Each week the Dock office posts the current fuel prices for nearby marinas. You will be able to immediately see the value available in purchasing from your Club Marina. Looking for larger volume? Further price reductions are available for over 1,000 gallons and a quick call to the Dockmaster will put us to work in providing significant value. Our 2010 census tells us that there are over 1400 boats here at Ocean Reef. Now these members can enjoy the convenience and value in filling with high quality fuel at a very competitive price.

Ocean Reef Press | February 28, 2014 | 3 Safeguarding Our Community Cheers! Without Tears by Ken Dewey ORCA Vice Chairman “A Unique Way of Life”… “a refuge from the clamor and demands of the world beyond our boundaries”…”the reassurance of world-class security and public safety”…”a place where privacy is paramount, security is assured, and family comes first”. This is our magical world, created by the exceptional talents of the Club and safeguarded by ORCA and Public Safety. In experiencing the magic, however, it is easy to overlook the fact that the laws of nature, common sense and the State of Florida still apply. Nowhere more seriously than when operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Yes, these things apply even on our privately-owned streets and paths, as well as to automobiles, carts and motor scooters. Protocols are in Place We all know that enjoying cocktails or wine with a meal, experiencing the Reef Lounge, Burgee Bar or other gathering spots can involve alcohol consumption that impairs our ability to operate an automobile, golf cart or motor scooter. And who hasn’t seen films showing the consequences of driving under the influence? Even at our 25 MPH speed limit, serious risks exist. Just last weekend, an early morning incident involved a driver who caused a minor accident, fled the scene and lost control of his Donation Drive and Car Seat Inspections Reminder you can donate your unused children items (clothing, blankets, books, stuffed animals) to the Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition on March 4 from 1 – 4 p.m., in the Cultural Center parking lot. The Healthy Start automobile, damaging it extensively, destroying landscaping along Marlin Lane in the process. Fortunately, airbag deployment prevented the driver from being injured, and he narrowly avoided colliding with a golf cart carrying four people. Public Safety responded to check the driver for injuries; per protocol, the Sheriff’s Department investigated for evidence of DUI. The outcome of which is not the message, it is the fact that this could have been easily avoided. Frankie Moreno Friday, Feb. 28 – 8:00PM $150 Donor ∙ $165 Non-Donor Safe Transport Options Part of our magic is recognizing that an atmosphere of celebration exists here, and providing means for individuals to continue the fun without endangering themselves or others when the party is over. Have you seen the Public Safety officer stationed in the Fishing Village on busy nights? Part of his job is to encourage anyone unable to drive safely to be transported home (along with their vehicle) either by the bell stand or Public Safety. What other community provides this kind of service? And this is available to everyone on the Reef, no matter where or when the situation arises. It’s as simple as calling Public Safety, who will gladly assist you. They far prefer this to transporting someone off the Reef via ambulance or helicopter. In the end, preserving our Unique Way of Life depends on all of us, not only those we have hired to assist us. We encourage you to share this message with visiting friends and family and to set a good example by using the resources available to safeguard yourself and all those around you. Coalition, an organization based in Monroe County, provides resources to improve the health and well-being of early families. Specifically, the items collected will be donated to families with children from birth to age five. In addition, safety technicians will be available to check your car seats to ensure they are properly installed. Parents or grandparents should bring children with them or know their exact height, weight and age to have your car seat inspected for safety. Get ready for a concert experience like no other as Frankie Moreno delivers a classic performance experience with modern content. Moreno and his 10-piece band rock out to original hits and classic covers, as Moreno showcases his debonair style on stage and his gifted musical talents. He has been hailed as the best all-around performer by the Las Vegas Review’s Best of Las Vegas 2012 and has toured with Air Supply and Sugarland. If one incredibly gifted musician wasn’t enough, Frankie Moreno has gathered a super band of dedicated musicians and they all come together in one performance that will knock your socks off.

Andy Hofmann, a Florida native with 20 years of exceptional success building relationships in premier real estate and finance companies, joined Ocean Reef Club Real Estate Company (ORCREC) late last year. In his relatively short time here, he has already demonstrated the importance of having our own memberfocused real estate organization. Member Mike Berman had a dear friend who had sold her New Orleans home and was moving to Ocean Reef Club. Working through another property management company, the woman had found a rental property. However, just days before her arrival, the contract was cancelled—the owners had decided not to rent their unit—and she was devastated. Mike Berman called ORCREC, explained the situation to Andy Hofmann, and within an hour, he had managed to find a Pumpkin Cay three-bedroom with an ocean view that was perfect for Mike’s friend. The residence was previously only available for sale but in working with fellow team member Mary Lee, together they were able to come up with a rental option that was ideal for both home owner and tenant. “Andy not only worked some magic, he went above and beyond to make my friend feel comfortable, welcomed and worry free,” said Mike. “We are very fortunate to have our own real estate company that applies the same exceptional standards and services that we are accustomed to as members. Many people and departments came together to make this wonderful lady’s experience a memorable one.” Featured Homes 4 Bayberry Lane Build your dream home on this incredible lot.

Would You or Could You Live Here Without It? Given The Reef’s isolated location it would be pretty tough to go to Miami or Tavernier every time you had a medical problem. Thirty percent of members surveyed said they “would not live at the Reef if the Medical Center was not present” and 79% of members also indicat- ed that the Medical Center is a place of primary care while at the Reef. What do Members say? “Without the Medical Center we couldn’t make our permanent home at Ocean Reef. We remember when members our age left in order to be near a good medical facility. No longer! We have the best of care at our doorstep. When our extended family comes to visit we know that their needs will be looked after too. It’s the best of all worlds, a perfect place to live and a perfect place to take care of our medical needs”. – Duke and Betty Marx The Top Five The survey revealed that members ranked key services as follows: 1. 24/7 access and after hours coverage 2. Laboratory 3. On-site visiting specialist program 4. Imaging 5. Primary care Fact: Since 2007, 70% of the Ocean Reef Community has utilized the Medical Center. Fact: Annually there are more than 15,000 patient service encounters. Fact: Only 43% of members are aware that the Medical Center receives no financial support through ORCA or ORC dues. Fact: Just one-third of Ocean Reef members support the Medical Center. Your support is needed. Quality 24/7 medical care is an expensive proposition. Medicare and other insurances continue to reduce provider reimbursements while the associated cost of providing medical care rises. Your donations are critical in providing on-site medical care and you can help by supporting the Ocean Reef Medical Center Foundation.

The finished piece emerges from clever hands and creative energy. Linda Richman, instructor, learned the process of Kumihimo at a workshop in Tampa in 2007. She says, “I was into making dolls and looked for beads to add to my creations. This ancient Japanese art of braiding beads interested me. I’ve been teaching it ever since.” Students work with a wooden stand called a Marudai that helps to string the beads. Linda brought samples of completed pieces, and each student chose her own project. The workshop was a beehive of laughter, industry, and the excitement of learning and using a new skill. The last Kumihimo workshop this season is for experienced braiders who want to explore more options. The dates are April 10, 11, 12.

Ocean Reef Press | February 28, 2014 | 17 W E MOURN TH E LOS S Neil Alexander Finn Neil Alexander Finn passed away on January 11, 2014. He was 99. His wife, Celia Finn; two sons, Ronald N. Finn and his wife Joan; Allen Finn and his wife Janet; four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren survive him. Neil was born in Russia and immigrated to the USA with his parents in 1920. He was president and CEO of Finn Machinery Company, the second largest independent construction and earth-moving equipment distributor in the Southeast during the period of the mid 50’s until 1972. He later came out of retirement and became a builder-developer of warehouses and industrial parks. He was president of the Associated Equipment Distributors Association, a Rotarian, and a member of the prestigious Paul Harris Fellowship. He was active in many civic organizations. Neil also served as a past president of the Board of Directors for Ocean Reef Club Condo III Association. He was an avid yachtsman, a multi-engine pilot, tournament fisherman, a concert violin artist, multi-linguist and a world traveler. Neil graduated in 1935 from VPI know today as Virginia Tech. While attending college he was a member of the Corps of Cadets. Neil’s ties to Ocean Reef Club date back to the days when it was still a small fishing camp and visitors stayed in yachtels. The present Card Sound Road was not yet built, and the airfield was a grass strip. He often recalled bringing fish into the weigh station located in Angelfish Creek and taking a covered dish to the Saturday night buffet. As Charter members Neil and his wife Celia, enjoyed many years aboard their yacht at Ocean Reef Club. Neil will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

The most dramatic match of the tournament took place on Sunday in the Ladies’ “A” flight final as defending Champions Cyndee Swenson & Denise Ecuyer played the very strong hitting team of sisters-in-law Beatriz Gutierrez & Maria Gutierrez. The Gutierrez’s got off to a strong start using powerful topspin drives and deftly angled volleys to take the first set 6-3. However, after jumping out to a 3-1 lead Swenson & Ecuyer changed their tactics slowing their shots down and throwing up lobs to take away the net from Players of the Week Pam Rudolph & Denica Fraser WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF LEARNING TENNIS? P: Seeing the difference in what I think is the correct way of hitting the ball and what is actually the correct way. D: I love getting the exercise. Winners Pete Swenson and Steve Woodsum with runners up Bob Ecuyer and Wayne Rosen the Gutierrez’s resulting in a great comeback as they won the second set 6-4. A super tiebreaker, 1st to 10 points, was played in lieu of a third set and once again the Gutierrez’s jumped out to a quick lead only to have Swenson & Ecuyer again take the air out of the ball, slowing the pace of their shots, frustrating their opponents into errors. With the score locked at 8 all, Swenson and Ecuyer dug deep and found a way to win the last two points clinching their second straight title. In the Men’s “A” flight, Pete Swenson & Steve Woodsum lost the first game of the first set then went on a streak, winning 6 consecutive games against Wayne Rosen & Bob Ecuyer to win the set 6-1. In the second set, once again Rosen & Ecuyer took the first game only to see Swenson & Woodsum go on another win streak this time taking 3 games in a row putting the score at 3-1. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE TENNISPLAYER? P: I did go to the US Open and Roger Federer is now my favorite. D: Marat Safin because he is an animated explosive player who is easy to look at. WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST TIP OF THE DAY? P: Hitting the bottom of the ball and “brushing over it.” D: Using your left arm like a left handed forehand on your backhand. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL? P: My rescue mute Valentino. D: My Havanese Izze. 1st place team Beatriz Gutierrez and Maria Gutierrez with runners up Cyndee Swenson and Denise Ecuyer. However, Rosen & Ecuyer won the 5th game at love and then proceeded to knot the set at 6 all, forcing a tiebreaker to decide the set. In the tiebreaker Rosen & Ecuyer again got off to a great start as they took the first three points only to then see Swenson & Woodsum rattle off 7 of the next 8 points to secure the title. In the”B” ladies’ flight Heidi Roncarelli & Eve Rosen were played even through the first six games then turned it on winning the next nine games defeating the strong pairing of Janet Norris & Nancy Wood by the score of 6-3, 6-0. The “B” flight men’s final found defending Champions Bruce Elliott & Gerry Henn too strong as they took a 6-1, 6-0 win over Kevin Cassidy & Steve Slovick. And in the Men’s “C” flight final first time participant Steve Rushmore & partner Bill Wonfor won a very close first set, 7-5, against the crafty team of Graham Thomas & Bud Miller before turning it on to win the second set 6-1. Be sure to congratulate all of these Club Champions when you see them around the Club! The Slice Serve ball. Let’s use our clock analogy again. Imagine this time that the ball is a clock. You want to strike the ball between two and three o’clock. This slice (spin) acts as a mechanism for bringing your serve into the court rather than sailing out. Finally, the last principle to keep in mind is found in the legs. When you throw a baseball, you transfer your weight from your back foot to your front foot as you throw. The same is true for the serve. If there is not weight transfer, you are relying solely on your arm, which makes the serve lose power. If you transfer your weight, you will generate power behind the serve. by Craig Kirchgessner There are three key principles for the slice serve. First, the toss. The best tip I can provide for the toss is to imagine a clock in front of you.You want the toss to be in between twelve and one o’clock. Preferably a foot in front of the baseline. The second principle is hitting the correct part of the Friends of Tennis This professional exhibition is coming to The Racquet Club on Sunday , Mar. 15 and Monday, Mar. 16.

You should hit the sand right in the center of your stance, where the ball would be on a pitch shot. In the sand the ball should be positioned nearer the front foot, a few inches in front of the center. Make the same swing you make with a pitch or three quarter Gordana Schneider Grant Eckhart Ken Reda Director of Sales shot, and hit the sand in the center of your stance. The sand will fly out of the bunker and the ball will fly out with it. Don’t try to get fancy with an open clubface and stance until you are good and consistent with the simple shot. Draw a line in the sand in the practice bunker, put the line in the center of your stance and get good at hitting the line and the sand will become your friend. For really long bunker shots use the same technique and use either a gap or pitching wedge to get the ball to fly farther. You should never try to take less sand for a longer shot as that will lead to inconsistency and really big missed shots.

Ocean Reef Coast Guard Auxiliary As I sit by the pool watching the different types of boats go in and out of the channel I often wonder how many of these boats comply with federal and state regulations regarding personal floatation devices (PFD) or “life jackets”. The federal requirement is that you must have a PFD for everyone onboard, and all PFD’s must be the proper size for each person. They also must also be readily accessible. That means they should be stored in an area that is easily accessible so that you can put them on in a reasonable amount of time in case of emergency. They should not be in a compartment that is locked, kept in plastic bags, or placed underneath gear or supplies where they cannot be seen. PFD’s are required by federal law for all children under 13 years old when the boat is underway unless the child is below decks or in an enclosed cabin. In addition, Florida State law requires that all children under the age of 6 must wear a PFD at all times if the boat is under 26 feet in length and underway, and also anyone operating a personal watercraft, “jet ski”, must also wear a PFD at all times! Another Florida regulation requires that a throwable device is required for all boats longer than 16 feet. This is called a type IV flotation device and examples are a seat cushion that floats or a floating ring. There are five types of PFD’s ( I, II, III, IV and V) and each offers a different amount of floatation as well as each type of PFD is clearly marked on the jacket, usually on the inside, and all must have a Coast Guard Approval stamped in the jacket (again usually on the inside). This might be a good time to check the PFD’s on your boat to see if you comply!!

Gary Sayia who has taken the day and the overall victory of the Magic-Dort Series, and the most beer glass trophies. So, when’s the keg party?! Well, parties we do like, but of a finer sort, as our club members took a jaunt to the beautiful island of Boca Chita for a fabulously catered picnic luncheon, organized by Ann Lampman and Patty Lucas earlier this month. With a time of games and fellowship, it was fun for all, including our little ones. So if this is the essence of life you seek, look no further than your sailboat on Card Sound. by Lesley Eckhardt Ah, sailing… it is an activity, a sport, a state of mind, and a passion… to win. We all set out to do our best, to learn, to grow, to sharpen our mind and our skills, to challenge our limits against the wind and the sea. It is a passion that parallels a driving force in the essence of life, the beauty and science of nature and deepening the connection between the body, mind, and soul as you set forth on a journey…to win. This was a week to rise to victory. With sail training and team practices sharpening our skills and tactics, Commodore Ed and Sandy Kirschner swept a dominant and impressive 1st in the canal races with Dan Harding coming in a strategically run 2nd. After the races there was a welcoming reception at the home of the Johansen’s. And a fantastic week of sailing it was this... winter... with warm temperatures and beautiful skies and oscillating breezes causing a reset of the course during Saturdays race. Picnic at Boca Chita Well done, Race Committee. With the Magic-Dort Series drawing to a close there were victories, big or small. Regardless of whether you were in contention for the top three, sheer determination compelled us to come out for another day of racing. So with great fervor, in comefrom-behind-fashion, Nick Csendes forged a 5th and the Coffins took a 3rd in the first race, the Kirschner’s seized a 4th in the second race, and the Mullray’s captured a 3rd in the final race. But it was the immense determination of Dick Elliot and Larry Askew, coming out as a shining beacon of fortitude, rising from the depths of the middle of the fleet in this series taking two 1st’s and an overall 2nd for the day. Astounding! But no great moments of victory could squelch the top three for the series overall. Strong runs early in the series held George Fenner to an overall 3rd, and Chris Streit, Heard On The Course The key to the first windward leg is to arrive at the weather mark in contention. Have a good start with a clear lane, making the sure that the boat is going fast. Note where the fleet is going and think carefully before straying. Finally be in phase with the wind shifts (always sail the lifted tack). This was especially important Saturday given the fluctuating wind direction. 35’ CONTENDER ST 2014 IN STOCK ’ , .

And as you lose weight and body fat, your BMR (the amount of calories your burn at rest) actually decreases. In other words, the calories you burn just being alive decrease, so your calorie intake must decrease and/or exercise increase to begin losing weight again. The good news is that you are probably healthier than before and you can do more intense and longer duration of exercise. Here are a few plateau breaking helpful hints: 1. Eat Water-Rich (Not Fat-Rich) Foods. Your secret to success? Get as much satiety as you can for every calorie you eat. Vegetables and whole grains fill you up and make you feel satiated. 2. Ditch the Dry Stuff. Steer clear of dry foods, particularly high-fat choices, like chips, crackers, candy bars, trail mix, and cookies and other baked goods 3. Start Out With a Big Satisfying Salad. Lunch and dinner start with a beautiful, colorful salad. (watch your dressings!) 4. Make Good Use of Your Soup Spoons. Vegetables, legumes, and high quality protein are a mix for healthy, low calorie soups. 5. Don’t Drink Your Calories. Watch out for alcohol, juices, sodas, and even protein shakes. 6. Get Simple. Lose the buffets and fancy dinners with cheeses, sauces, and gravies. 7. Get In Touch With Your Stomach Sometimes hunger is a habit. Also, being dehydrated can make you think you are hungry. 8. Skip Dessert – Or Opt For Healthy Choices Pretty simple, desserts weigh-in heavy on the calories. How about some great berries. 9. Pump It Up Changing your workout can be a real plateau-breaker. As you get healthier, try spurts of more intense cardio, heavier weights, or just something different like switching your cardiomachine up. Perhaps one or two days a week , you can increase the duration of exercise - go for a long walk or paddle. 10. Keep Your Eye On the Prize Remember WHY you are losing weight- When you set goals, ask yourself the big WHY’s and keep those goals and answers in sight.

One Sunday there were so many players that the courts were double and triple banked. This prompted one enthusiast to say, can we find another court NOW? The “Croquet Club” is unique – no waiting list for membership (open to everyone), no dues, just a shed with all the equipment and friends who play and are happy to teach. One Sunday as the matches rotated on and off the courts, four men were waging an especially long fight. This also People and Croquet Balls Everywhere! meant, that because of the busy play, others were waiting to go through a wicket. The score was 3-2, so the winner of the 6th wicket either won the game or tied the game. The shots on the 6th wicket were so wonderfully incredible, knocking the opponents’ balls from across the court, that it took the winning team 20 minutes on that one wicket. But the team that had 3 points scored that wicket to end the match. Glad it was a cool afternoon! And then the group migrated to The Galley to continue the fun. Teams rotate, with no set order for who plays. As mentioned above, sometimes four guys or four girls play, sometimes couples, and sometimes a total mix of guys and gals. This makes for lots of interesting play, as you can come and play without bringing a partner. Duplicate Bridge results from Wednesday, Feb. 19 in the Ocean Room.
