T
he Leisure World
Community Corporation
(LWCC) Board of
Directors met on Tuesday,
June 28, for its regular monthly
meeting.
LWCC Chair David Frager
presided, and Kevin Flannery
represented Leisure World of
Maryland Corporation (LWMC)
management.
The three-hour session included discussion and action
on 2017 budget planning and
a management reorganization
plan, and the board scheduled a
special meeting for early July to
discuss those matters further.
The board approved several recommendations by the
Budget and Finance Advisory Committee pertaining to the
2017 budget: a facilities maintenance plan for Trust proper-
ties at $1,514,595, a two percent
increase over 2016; a proposal for capital equipment purchases amounting to $228,950;
and a schedule of fees with two
increases.
Addressing comments from
some members about specific line items in the various proposals, Frager indicated that
further adjustments could be
expected.
“The fact that [these amounts
were approved] doesn’t mean
that it’s absolutely going to
happen that way,” he said. “I
wouldn’t be surprised if the
general manager and others made reasonable changes.
This is June; you’re not going
to spend this money until next
year.”
Two of the capital equipment
purchases approved for 2017
can be made in 2016, the board
decided however, in anticipa➤ to page 3

n Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL)
Geography and History Interactions over Millennia
by Arthur N. Popper
G
eography may not have been a
particularly exciting topic for most
residents when they were in school.
The subject was most often encountered
in elementary school, and students had to
memorize place names, geological features
and similar mundane material. Though
perhaps more popular than some subjects,
geography class was not as fascinating as
it could have been—or as resident Tom
Conger makes it when he presents his course
that relates geography to world events and
human history.
Indeed, the next course Conger teaches for
the Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL), which
begins Aug. 2, brings geography alive as it explores “The Convergence of Geography and
History: How the Physical World has Affected Us All.” For registration information, see
Classes and Seminars on page 38.
The course explores questions such as
how geography affected the rise of humans
some 60,000 years ago, and how dealing
with geography shaped early humans’ treks
across western Asia, northern Europe and
Siberia.
It also explores the origins of Native
Americans and geography’s impact on their
treks from the Bering Land Bridge, across
North America and down to the very tip
of South America. In all of human history, physical geography played an enormous
role in influencing events.
Conger examines geography’s impact through millennia, including events
13,000 years ago in what is now Clovis,
N.M., 14,500 years ago in Tallahassee, Fla.
and many other places. He also consid-

ers weather and climate, such as how the
weather helped George Washington and
the Continental Army escape from Brooklyn in August 1776, and the implications of
climate change for Florida. The class examines the effects of landform geography, including how geography affected the road
system where we live.
In discussing these and many other topics, Conger brings geography alive in ways
that are totally unlike our elementary
school experiences.
His lifelong interest in the subject began
when his father, who avidly read about geography, instilled a love for it in his youngest
son. Conger’s early fascination with mountains was reinforced when he first encoun-
tered the Blue Ridge Mountains at age six.
He received a bachelor’s of science degree
in geography from the University of Georgia
and a master’s degree in the subject from
the University of Cincinnati. While in Cincinnati, he also received a master’s in city
planning. He worked as a city planner for
12 years, and then ran a small life insurance
company for 20 years. Conger maintained
his interest and activities in city planning by
being involved in zoning and related activities wherever he lived.
Later, Conger and his family moved to
Flagstaff, Ariz., where he received a teaching certificate for middle and high school.
This led to his teaching earth science
(physical geography) and various geography courses at Northern Arizona University. While living in the western U.S., he visited every mountain range in Nevada and
Arizona, and he became fascinated with the
role of mountains in Native American culture. Conger and his wife, Lois, moved to
Leisure World in 2011.

fter dealing with the stress of my successful three-year
battle with lymphoma, my husband and I were ready for
a major lifestyle change. For years we lived around the
corner in Aspen Hill and teased our daughter that she would
be picked up for her senior prom at Leisure World. Well,
we waited until she was a sophomore at Towson University.
Before our July 4 wedding anniversary we moved to Leisure
World, where we now enjoy an easier lifestyle more focused on
family, friends and FUN! It’s like we’re living in a country club.
We have become involved with the undefeated Varsity Leisure
World Water Volleyball Team, the Fun and Fancy Theatre
Group, and the Baby Boomer Club, and are looking forward to
more as we settle into the community.
Plus, we find time to work: I am a marketing/communications consultant also running a custom gift business, and Paul
works for Safeway. We are the first of our friends to downsize
and move to Leisure World, so whenever one of them attempts
the usual LW humor we just smile and say, “Perhaps the joke’s
on you!”
Forward@50! Leisure World of Maryland’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is a week of memorable events for residents, their friends, and family. Mark your calendars now
for the week of Sept. 10-17, 2016, and plan to enjoy one or
more of the social and cultural activities, including a film
festival, concerts, picnics, fireworks, and more. Stay tuned
for more information in Leisure World News as the celebration week nears.

Faces of Leisure World, a project originated by resident
Bob Tahler, appears in each edition of Leisure World
News leading up to the 50th anniversary celebration in
September 2016. Meet a few of the diverse folks who make
the community so welcoming and learn about a small slice

from page 1
tion of the community’s 50th
anniversary events in September. Audio-visual equipment in
Clubhouse II will be replaced,
and outdoor furniture will be
added to Daffodil Park, a shady
grove facing the Administration
Building and Clubhouse I.
The only fees recommended
for increases in 2017 are community theater tickets, which
would increase from $3 to $5;
and the annual fee for the indoor pool, which would increase from $145 to $150. All
golf fees and charges for room
rentals, classes and special
transportation would remain
the same in 2017.
After a brief a mid-meeting
break, Flannery led a discussion of a management reorganization plan for the anticipated
departure in early 2017 of Tim
Coursen, the assistant general
manager (AGM) for community
management.
His position would be
“trimmed down” to an AGM
for property services, and a
new position, an AGM for support services, would be created to take on Coursen’s other
current responsibilities. The
new position would oversee six
operating departments: Clubhouse Operations, Information Technology, Health Care
Services, Security and Transportation, Golf Course and Pro
Shop Operations, and Property
Transfers.
The reorganization plan also
includes the addition of an assistant project manager to provide support to Jolene King, the
AGM for facilities and maintenance, and Nicole Gerke, the
project manager.
Anticipating that a number of
issues on the agenda would not
be settled at the meeting, Frager scheduled a special board
meeting for Tuesday, July 12, at
9:30 a.m.
“We hate to have a lot of
meetings,” he said, “but certainly when you’re talking
about something like the budget and the reorganization
of Leisure World, those really deserve the attention of this
group.”

LWAAAC Lights Up the Lanai
Dancing, Great Food and a Special Guest Highlight Annual Picnic
by Juanita Sealy-Williams
A
bout 200 members,
friends and family had a
wonderful afternoon at
LWAAAC’s annual picnic on the
Clubhouse I lanai on Saturday,
June 11.
It proved to be a warm,
sunny but windy day. Everyone
was in a mood for fun, seeing
friends and catching up on the
latest happenings.
Of course, the great food and
jazzy music was just what all
of us were looking forward to
experiencing. We can’t decide
which was better, the fried or
barbecued chicken or the ribs.
The highlight of the desert
menu was the warm peach cobbler and ice cream donated by
Heidi Cortese, our special guest
for the day. It was so delicious
that some of us had seconds
(not mentioning any names)!
Heidi stayed for the entire
picnic and walked around visiting many tables to speak with
our members and friends.
DJ Al Foley had the greatest selections of both oldschool and current vibes playing before the picnic started.
We could hardly finish setting up without moving to
the music as we walked and
worked.
And when the eating was
slowing down, the dancing
began. While most picnic attendees watched the dancers
and enjoyed the music, quite
a few got up and busted a
step or two. One “young” lady
with a cane danced the latest
steps while holding her cane
in the air!
The picnic ended with giveaways of more than 20 door
prizes and, of course, more
dancing.

ing is kept so beautifully and
the snow removal plan is so efficient and effective. In my
opinion, the quality of McFall
& Berry’s work, as well as the
temperament of their employees, will be hard to match by
any other company who has not
had the experience of serving
our community.
Therefore, I urge management, the Board of Directors,
as well as all other residents to
consider these comments when
the final decision is made on
this critical issue that could affect us significantly in the upcoming years.
I believe that landscaping,
grounds maintenance, and
snow removal play a very important role in the lifestyle of
our community, and I feel so
strongly about this that I wanted to express my thoughts in
the LW News. I hope my fellow
residents will do likewise.

T
he brilliant, international pianist
Thomas Pandolfi returns to Leisure
World on Friday, July 29, at 7 p.m.
in the Clubhouse II auditorium with an
entertaining program of fantastic and
popular piano music. The performance
will open with a mature example of the
27-year-old Mozart—the magnificent
“Sonata No. 12 in F Major, K. 332.”
Spanish romance will be in the air, as he
continues with gorgeous music by Enrique
Granados, who was known as the “Spanish Chopin;” a sensual Intermezzo by the
Mexican composer Manuel Ponce; and
fiery excitement in Malaguena and Ritual
Fire Dance.
Pandolfi will also perform music by
Leroy Anderson and two brilliant transcriptions: the “James Bond Fantasy,”
which includes famous themes from James
Bond movies, and “America Fantasy,”
which includes beloved American melodies “America the Beautiful,” “God Bless

❒ Health Advisory Committee
Progress on Replacing, Maintaining Smoke Alarms
by Sandra McLeskey and Jim Leong
A
ccording to the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA), smoke
detectors should be tested at least
once a month and batteries should be
replaced at least twice a year. We believe
Mutuals could significantly enhance the
safety of their residents by encouraging
and facilitating periodic checkups and
battery replacements.
On Sept. 15, 2015, a mid-afternoon
fire destroyed two apartments and heavily
damaged the other 10 units in a Montgomery Mutual low-rise building on Gleneagles
Drive. The fire began in the bedroom of a
first floor apartment and spread rapidly
through the attic to other units. Fortunately, both smoke detectors in the originating
apartment sounded their alarms, enabling
the resident to immediately escape and
warn neighbors to evacuate.
The two smoke detectors most likely saved
residents’ lives and prevented injuries. Montgomery Mutual deserves recognition for its
long-standing policy of periodic inspections
of all of its smoke alarms—replacing batteries and upgrading units. However, just two
weeks before the fire, an article in Leisure
World News warned that many units throughout Leisure World’s 29 mutuals have extremely old (up to 30 years) and possibly non-functioning smoke detectors. In the meantime,
three other fires have occurred in the community: a fourth floor kitchen fire in Mutual 27
(Creekside) on Nov. 24; a fire that destroyed
a garage in Mutual 18 on Jan. 22 and the fire
started by smoking near an oxygen tank on
Glade Drive in Mutual 14 on April 24.
In November 2015, Jolene King, the assistant general manager for facilities and services, discovered that only seven mutuals (31
percent of the 5,660 units in Leisure World)
enjoyed mutual-wide detector inspections and
battery replacements. In response to this discovery, five advisory committees—Health,
Emergency Preparedness, Security and Transportation, Physical Properties and Technology—passed a joint resolution in January 2016

ration Board of Directors to strongly encourage mutuals to assume responsibility for testing and maintaining smoke alarms in compliance with Maryland law.
King and her colleagues then embarked on
a patient and persistent effort to invite mutuals to take advantage of smoke detector bulk
rate inspections and replacements offered by
the Physical Properties Department (PPD).
As of early June, 19 mutuals (3,619, or 64 percent, of the 5,660 units) had expressed interest or were already engaged in detector maintenance and replacement programs. This is
real progress, compared to the seven mutuals (1,756 units, or 31 percent) reported in November 2015.
Unfortunately, 10 mutuals (2,041 units, or
36 percent) declined to participate in the detector inspection programs. There appear to
be several reasons for this non-participation,
including:
• Insufficient financial resources in some of
the smaller mutuals.
• Concerns that mutuals might be liable if inspected detectors nevertheless
malfunction.
• A feeling that detectors are solely the responsibility of individual residents (despite the dangers to neighbors).
In respect to the concern about financial
constraints, PPD has plans for smoke detector
maintenance and upgrades where the expense
is covered by the resident. In these plans, the
cost to the mutual is very small to nothing.
Regarding the second concern, Leisure
World bylaws clearly state that maintenance
of smoke detectors is the individual residents’
responsibility. It is extremely unlikely that a
program to encourage or facilitate (not require) smoke detector maintenance and replacement would result in a liability claim, especially since state and county laws require
working smoke detectors in all residences.
As for the third concern, smoke detector
maintenance and replacement indeed are the
individual resident’s responsibility. However,
the vast majority of residents have homes that
share a wall with a neighbor, so many living
here may feel that proper smoke detector installation and maintenance is a collective effort that affects us all.
In addition to protecting lives and homes,
proactive smoke detector installation and
maintenance in this manner may reduce the
overall cost to mutuals if they obtain bulk discounts. It could strengthen Leisure World’s
insurance policy. And adhering to nationally recommended fire safety guidelines and
state laws will provide all residents the peace
of mind they’ve come to expect while living at
Leisure World.
We encourage residents to talk with their
neighbors and mutual board members to promote a solution that protects individuals and
their property and improves fire safety within
every mutual.

Alliance was founded to
allow members of our

common goals and interests.
Sadly, the Pulse Nightclub
massacre in Orlando, Fla., on
June 12 dealt a terrible blow to
our community and has affected
people worldwide. We simply
cannot allow hatred and fear to
win over love, respect and dignity.
Our group stands for tolerance, acceptance and unity. We
are proud of who we are and
what we’ve achieved. Hopefully, on July 4 everyone will take
the words of the Declaration of
Independence to heart and acknowledge the words of our
Founding Fathers: “We hold
these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalien-
n The Edmonson Society
able Rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness.”
To help express our condolences and honor the 49 who were
killed, those wounded, their families and their friends, we invite
everyone in and out of our community to show their support and
march with us this July 4.
As we parade down the boulevard celebrating the Pulse victims’ lives, walk with us, even
if it’s just a few steps. Join us,
and stand up to intolerance and
senseless violence.

A
mong the benefits of
being a member of the
Aging Children Club is
the plethora of memories you
have acquired in your lifetime.
But sometimes access to them
can be daunting. In some ways
our brains are like the hard
drive in a computer; when data
storage nears capacity, finding
a particular file can take longer
than when you first bought your
iMac or whatever brand you use
to surf the internet or write a
letter to the grandchildren. So,
the next time you have trouble
recalling something, do not
fret. Your problem is that you
remember too much. Perhaps one
day a wunderkind will discover
the “delete” button for our gray
heads.
Your neighbors at the Chad
Carter Concert within the time
machine of Café AIM had no
problems remembering what they
were doing a lifetime ago when
songs like “Satin Doll” and “Sophisticated Lady” were selections
on most jukeboxes. Mr. Carter’s
crooning had everyone toe-tapping and singing the lyrics like
they owned them. If you missed
being there June 17, well, maybe
next time.

Jazz vocalist Sharon Clark
will make her first appearance at

and snacks. Cocktails begin at 6
p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m.

On Friday, Sept. 9, Keith Kilgo
comes to Café AIM. Kilgo has
been a headliner since he was the

community experiencing a
series of plane crashes in the
1950s. Members had mixed
feelings about the book: It
was too long with too many
characters, but accurately
portrayed life in Elizabeth, N.J.
Discussions touched on fear of
flying and how communities
react to mass disasters.
Diversity Strong will read this
book, too. It will be interesting
to hear their reactions in light
of recent tragedies in the news.
Diversity Strong read and
loved “The Boys In The Boat”
by Daniel James Brown, the
non-fiction story of the American crew team that won the
1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany. If you are a fan of Erik
Larson and his books, such as
“The Devil in the White City,”
you should enjoy this book. It

novel. Members felt the char-
acters were well developed and
that the author did an excellent
job describing the Depression
era. One question discussed
was, “Is the Olympics still as
important an event?”
The Rose Readers read “The
Japanese Lover” by Isabel Allende, also set during World
War II. It’s a love story between
a Polish immigrant escaping
the Nazis and a Japanese gardener who is sent to a Japanese
internment camp. The club
thought the story line was too
predictable, rating this book a
three out of five.
If you reviewed our book compilation, you may have noticed
we have read more books about
World War II than any other era.
For a copy of this list, send an
email to ([email protected]).
The Bookies read “Museum
of Extraordinary Things” by
Alice Hoffman, a favorite Book
Club author. The New York
Times Book Review describes it
as “a lavish tale about strange
yet sympathetic people, haunted by the past and living in bi-
zarre circumstances.”
The African Heritage Book
Club read and recommends
“Between the World and Me,”
the National Book Award-winner by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It
is eloquently written as a letter from Coates to his teenage
son about what it means to be
a black man in America. It is
modeled on James Baldwin’s
1963 civil rights classic, “The
Fire Next Time.”
Literary Ladies Who Lunch
(formerly Famous Women) read
“Boys in the Trees,” a captivating memoir by Carly Simon,
whose song “Let the River Run”
became the first by a single artist to win an Oscar, Golden
Globe and Grammy award.
The Fall Readers read “Suspension” by Richard E. Crabbe. This informative, historical fiction book was about the
building of the Brooklyn Bridge
and a plot by the Confederates to blow it up on opening
day. Members had a lively discussion. The characters were
fascinating, including the engi-
neer who designed the bridge,
as well as the young detective
who was involved in stopping
the bombing, and his girlfriend,
who ran a house of prostitution.
The Sleuths read, but would
not recommend, “Rogue Lawyer” by John Grisham. The
main character, a social justice
lawyer who accepts cases no
one else will take, was not likeable. It was written more like a
collection of short stories than
a cohesive novel.
The Suspensers read “The
Burning Room” by Michael
Connelly. The discussion focused on the detail and development of his characters,
as well as the investigations.
Members had mixed feelings
about the book. It was difficult
to keep the characters straight.
But the story followed two separate investigations at the same
time, which piqued and kept
the interest of the reader.

n Gem, Lapidary and Mineral Society of Leisure World
July 13: ‘Physical Geography of the United States’
by Mary Beth Mason
T
he next meeting of the
Gem, Lapidary and
Mineral Society is on
Wednesday, July 13, at 7 p.m.
in Clubhouse II. The program,
a DVD-presented lecture by Dr.
Laurence Jankowski entitled
“Physical Geography of the
United States,” will follow a
brief business meeting.
You likely are familiar with
the names of many famous
landmarks, national parks, geological idiosyncrasies and geographic marvels within our
country. Who hasn’t heard of
Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Tetons
in Wyoming, the Appalachian
and Rocky Mountains or the
Great Salt Lake?
Have you ever wondered
what geologic forces coalesced
to produce the immense geographic differences we see as
we travel across the continent?
Here are just some of the questions Dr. Jankowski will answer
during his lecture: Why are the
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Reflection of mountains on Jackson Lake
near Yellowstone. Bigstock photo
Rocky Mountains higher than
the Appalachian Mountains?
Where is the Permian Basin,
and what is it? How did the
middle of the United States–
the land west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky
Mountains–become the flatland that we know as the Great
Plains? How were the Great
Lakes formed?
This presentation will be illustrated with fantastic aerial views of each of 17 physiographic provinces that the geography of the U.S. comprises, such as Wyoming’s Grand
Tetons, Yellowstone’s geysers, Arkansas’s Ozarks, Hawaii’s volcanoes, Florida’s Everglades and the Badlands of
the Dakotas. Earthquakes, ero-
sion, movement of glaciers and
flooding displacement are some
of the natural forces that will
be described, along with how
and where each has made its
footprint.
Dr. Jankowski was an associate professor at Bowling
Green State University in Ohio
and a member of the National Science Teachers Association
and the Association of Geology
Teachers when he produced the
lecture.
Join us on Wednesday, July
13, for a fascinating program.
Refreshments will be available
at the back of the meeting room
both before the meeting begins
and after the presentation ends.
Before adjournment, there
will be a door prize drawing. A
guided tour of the lapidary shop
will be given after the meeting
is officially adjourned.
All residents are welcome
at our meetings. Contact President Chuck Mason ([email protected]) or (301933-3093) for information
about our club.

and time are very short, usually a
half-hour or less.
After the parade, some club
members gather at noon for the
picnic on the Clubhouse I lanai.
The club has already reserved a
table for 15. Call and tell us if you
would like to join us. Then go to
the E&R office in Clubhouse I
to sign up; there is a $1 per person fee for seating at the picnic.
Members have gotten together
for such a picnic for years. Contact Irmgard Patrick at (301-5982984) for information about the
parade and picnic.
The club will have its next
meeting in Clubhouse I on
Tuesday, July 19, at 7 p.m. The
program will be announced in
our next column.
Send comments or questions
about these or any other matters and/or offers to volunteer
to the club president Fred Seelman by emailing him at ([email protected]) or by calling
first vice-president Ray Spieler
at (301-460-3563).
Join us for another quality meeting event at 7 p.m. on
Tuesday, July 19, in Clubhouse
I. And enjoy our refreshments.
n Democratic Club
Big Audience, Braving Storm, Is Captivated
by Congressman Rangel
by Emile Milne
C
ongressman Charles
B. Rangel of New York
captivated a nearcapacity audience in the
Clubhouse II auditorium on
June 21.
The crowd was spellbound
as he weaved together a story
of his 50-year career in elective
office, the rise of the modern
Democratic Party since Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the current race for the White House.
He recounted the story of
how he had persuaded Hillary
Clinton to run for a U.S. Senate
seat for New York in 2000. At a
presidential campaign event in
New York in March, Clinton described Rangel as “the person I
have to give credit to for start-
New York Congressman Charles Rangel, left, and Democratic Club president Emile
Milne share the stage in the Clubhouse II auditorium. Photo by Fred Shapiro
ing me on this journey” toward
the U.S. presidency.
Rangel expressed confidence
in her victory in the November
election. “She is the best qualified candidate by far,” he said.
The congressman drew a big
laugh from the audience, which
had braved a violent thunderstorm to attend the event. “I
know Donald Trump,” he said.
“And he is the greatest gift New
York has ever given to the Democratic Party.”
Rangel is the second longest-serving current member
of the House of Representatives. He will retire at the end
his current, 23rd term after 46
years on Capitol Hill.
His most recent accomplishment in office was helping to
end the 50-year embargo of
Cuba.
Introducing Rangel at
the event were Montgomery
County Executive Isiah Leggett, Maryland senators Jamie
Raskin and Roger Manno, and
Shirley Henderson, a former
Democratic Club president.

Beautifully updated throughout and priced right,
this home got several offers!
You’ve heard the stories and you’ve shaken your head. A house comes on the market for XYZ dollars. Immediately, so many people bid on the house that it sells for XYZ plus thousands more dollars. It’s crazy, but it happens every day. It’s called a bidding war. And if you want to win one of these, you need a Realtor who knows the market inside and out. Otherwise, you’ll bid too low or too slowly, and you’ll be shut out. Many people who are looking to buy at Leisure World think that bidding wars never happen there. They think that in a
retirement community, the laws of supply and demand don’t apply as much as—or as crazily as—they do in the rest of the real estate market.
Don’t believe it. Leisure World homes may not attract dozens of bids in the first five minutes they’re listed. But they certainly do attract competitive bids, and multiple bids. How to find
your way through this thicket? With a Realtor who knows Leisure World and knows the industry. With Karen Rollings and her team. Karen has become a leading producer at Leisure
World by navigating the world of competitive bids many times. She knows what the market will bear. She literally will not let you bid too much for a home that has flaws. But if you‘re
interested in an excellent home—and Leisure World has many of them—she will not let you bid too little, either.
It’s called experience, and Karen Rollings has lots of it. She has worked in local real estate for more than 30 years, and she was recently named one of the top agents in Montgomery County by both The
Washington Post and Washingtonian Magazine. She got those honors via hard work and careful attention to detail. For her, the right offer is the key, every time. If you’re considering a new home at Leisure
World, please let Karen and her team work with you. She will lead you to the right home at the right price. She’ll be happy to take your call today.

LW Green Plans Outreach
to Groups with Shared
Interests
by Harry Stoffer
E
nvironmental quality is
important to everyone’s
life. And there is strength
in numbers.
These are two of the principles that underlie a new plan of
action being undertaken by Leisure World Green, a year-old
environmental organization in
the community.
LW Green members decided
at their June 8 meeting to reach
out to other organizations, both
inside and outside the community, to discuss with them ways
to work together on issues of
common interest.
LW Green president Marybeth Ardike and some members
tentatively identified several
groups that might be receptive
but have not yet initiated clubto-club contact.
In a related development,
LW Green has decided to become a member of Fireside
Forum, the community-wide
organization that since 1967
has presented top-level speakers, generally on the first Sunday of each month.
In addition, LW Green has
started planning its own community information conference on the dangers of pesticides and other hazardous
lawn chemicals. The event
will likely be held in early
fall.
LW Green, founded in 2015,
aims to educate its members
and the broader community on
key environmental issues, especially trees, lawn chemicals, recycling and stream quality.
Interested individuals can
find meeting dates and other
announcements from LW
Green on the group’s bulletin
board in Clubhouse I.
This is more than
a cancer network.
It’s a network of hope,
right here in your
neighborhood.
n The Vegetarian Society of Leisure World (VSLW)
Menu Planning and
Luncheon Proposed
by Bob Fenichel
A
t the VSLW monthly meeting on June 15, Brian Bergman
gave a very informative talk on following a plant-based
diet for optimal health.
Lois Kutun, the VSLW program chair, presented a tentative
schedule of programs for the remainder of 2016, with two proposed activities for July. The first is a guided discussion at the
VSLW monthly meeting on Wednesday, July 20, at 7 p.m. in
Clubhouse II of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) steps in “Planning a Weekly Menu.” The second
was a group luncheon at a local Ethiopian restaurant, led by a
VSLW member of Ethiopian decent (date to be determined).
Additional information on VSLW activities can be found on
our website (www.vslw.org).
Please note that everybody is welcome at VSLW activities,
i.e., you don’t have to be a vegetarian to participate.
VSLW’s mission is to support group members in maintaining
a healthy lifestyle by eating a plant-based diet.

Getting Back to the Creative Life
by Ann Bolt
W
ho are the people who pop in
and out of the art studio in
Clubhouse I? Most of them
have had some exposure to the art world,
but put it aside for several decades to
crank out a career. Finding some free
time in retirement, or reduced job hours,
they are coming back to try their hand at
creativity.
Meet Nancy Albrecht, newly arrived in
Leisure World in March 2016. She holds
a part-time position with a dental group,
which helps the less fortunate get dental
care. She works in Columbia for a statewide program, which can provide free
dental aid. But Saturday mornings, she
can be found in the open studio working
in pastels.
She much prefers animals and portraits of animals. She doesn’t just chase
the animals around until they stop and
then snap a photo. She likes to take time
so both she and the animal are comfortable with each other, an artistic animal

whisperer of sorts. She has focused her
work on dogs, cats and birds, but also
likes to have horses as her subject.
She was an art major at University of
Maryland, but didn’t use those skills for
about 30 years. So, welcome back, Nancy.
She lives in Leisure World with her husband and has a daughter and two grandsons nearby.
The Leisure World 50th Anniversary is
approaching and about a half-dozen artists have already painted views of familiar paths, night scenes, snow scenes and,
of course, the globe by the main gate.
RAG members and others are invited to
submit a painting or drawing of their favorite view of Leisure World. A good size
is 16” x 20”, framed, wired and ready to
hang by Tuesday, Aug. 30. The paintings will be on exhibit until the end of
September.
Take a peek in the library during July
and see if you can stand all the paintings
overflowing with cuteness of children
with pets.
Clubhouse II features Jordan Levy
paintings during July and August and is
well worth a visit.

Working with Clay-Based Paints
paints do not flow; they stay
right where you put them, and
it takes three coats for solid
coverage. Each coat must be
applied in a different direction to ensure coverage and to
keep brush strokes from being
apparent. Some underglazes
can be applied to greenware
(unfired clay) or bisque (fired
clay), and some only to bisque.
This is determined by the
amount of frit in the clay. Frit
contains silica, which when

absorbed into greenware can
cause it to crack. It’s always
best to read the label so you
know how to use the particular underglaze or glaze. Underglazes can be mixed together easily to create new colors,
and the color you see is usually
what you get.
If you would like to learn
more, check in the studio for
the topic and date for the July
class.

Software Updates Coming in Apple Ecosystem
by Brent Malcolm
W
hat’s New from
Apple?
As many of you
know, Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference kicked off
on June 13, and as usual the
keynote address revealed some
of the things the Apple users
can expect in the next few
months. Perhaps surprisingly, there were no new hardware
announcements, only changes to the four operating systems: OS X (now rechristened
macOS), iOS, watchOS and
tvOS.
MacOS will add support for
Siri, enhance Photos with automatic recognition technologies and enable Apple Pay for
the web so you can use Apple
Pay to pay for things ordered
online with Safari. To integrate
the Mac more deeply into Apple’s ecosystem, you’ll be able
to auto-unlock your Mac when
you’re wearing an Apple Watch,
copy and paste between your
Mac and your iOS devices and
access everything in your Desktop and Documents folders
on any iOS device via iCloud
Drive. Minor changes will add
tab support to all apps and add
picture-in-picture support in
case you ever wanted to watch a
video while you’re
doing some work.
The changes to
iOS are even more
far-reaching. The
lock screen will be
enhanced to allow
side swiping to reveal access to widgets and the camera. 3-D touch will
allow notifications to display
application data without unlocking. For instance, you can
press an iMessage notification
to see the conversation. Siri will
be opened to developers, which
should result in sweeping enhancements of current and future third-party iOS apps. For
instance, you’ll be able to use
Siri to call a car with Uber or
Lyft. Typing suggestions will
be improved, Photos will be
enhanced and Maps will gain
more capabilities. Lastly, the
Music app will be redesigned
and HomeKit will be improved.
So, look for these various
software updates coming to you
sometime this fall, and look forward to enjoying
all these improved
user capabilities.
And, in Apple’s
usual grand design,
they’re all free! If
you are brave and
want to play with
the new macOS
(named Sierra)
or iOS 10 in a beta
version, those will be available
in July.
I will cover the changes to
watchOS and tvOS in the next
Mac Club article, along with
what hardware will be compatible with all the new software.
Mac Club News
The agenda for the Tuesday,
July 26, meeting is an introduction to Facebook presented by
Aggie Eastham. Please refer to
our website (http://mac.computerctr.org). And if you have a
question, we’re always here at
([email protected]). Lastly, remember to take advantage of our walk-in clinic on the
first, second and third Tuesdays of the month from 10-11
a.m. in the Computer Learning
Center, where you can get help
with hardware and software
questions.
Today’s Tip: Spotlight Natural
Language
Spotlight now supports natural language searches, allowing you to search for more than
file names. For example, you
can now enter search queries
like “things I worked on this
month” to, well, see the things
you worked on this month. Or
you can type in “emails from
Kevin” to quickly look for that
important email your friend
sent you. The natural language
search feature seems to be robust, so play with it some to get
a feel for what it can do.

and each person walks at his

One of our members leads
a longer walk around the entire Leisure World Boulevard
loop, starting at 8:30 a.m.

Quality of Jokes at

T
he caliber of jokes and
skits presented at our
weekly Comedy and
Humor Club meetings, usually
high, is on the rise still more.
Lots of excellent humor is
developing, and it has become difficult to select just a
few good highlights for you,
dear reader, in these Leisure
World News offerings.
But the only way you can
really enjoy the fun is to come
and hear for yourself, laugh
at the jokes and maybe even
toss out a few yuck promoters of your own. Give it a try;
you’ll be pleased.
The Comedy Club’s next

usual place, Clubhouse I, at

on Tuesday, July 5.
For information about
membership, call Sam

Meantime, Sam showed a
video of a TV comedy classic on the last Tuesday of
the month. We’ll once again
participate in the Leisure
World Fourth of July parade;
we’ll be 30th in the lineup
this year.
We welcomed newcomers
Jessie Fitzpatrick and Joan
and Alex Schmier at recent
sessions.
We sang songs, too, including “When You’re Smiling” and “Comedy, Humor
and Fun”—a parody of “It’s
Almost Like Being in Love”—
written by veteran club member Mim Parizer.
Those offering their brands
of humor in recent weeks included Sam, Alex, Jack, treasurer Sumner Levin, chief
technology officer Jim Owen,
Herb Hodes, Fred Firnbacher, Bernard Patlen, Al Karr,
John Lass, Fannie Falk and
vice president Gloria Horwitz.
A few samplers:
Jim: Don’t put both feet in
your mouth. You won’t have a
leg to stand on.
John: Give a man a fish and
he’ll eat for a day. Teach him
to use the internet and he
won’t bother you for weeks,
or maybe years.
Sumner: A study shows
that women who put on extra
weight live longer than men
who mention it.
Sam: A man seeing a “no
pets allowed except seeing-eye dogs” sign nevertheless walks into a bar with a
Chihuahua on a leash. Confronted by the bartender, he asks, “They gave me a
Chihuahua?”

National Mammal Played Part in American Heritage
by Bernie Ascher
T
he United States now has
something it never had
before: a national mammal.
It is about time. The U.S. has
had a national bird (the eagle),
a national tree (the oak) and a
national flower (the rose), but
when President Obama signed
the National Bison Legacy Act
in May 2016, bison lovers finally
could take pride in having a
national symbol of their own.
Bison helped shape the lifestyle of Native Americans on the
Great Plains and are an important part of American heritage.
Native Americans lived alongside
herds of these migratory animals
for many years, using their meat
for food; their hides for shelter;
in fact, using every part of the animal, including their horns and
hair.
Tens of millions of bison
roamed the continental U.S. before settlers arrived from European countries. Estimates of the
original population of prairie
bison range upward to 200 million, according to the PBS pro-
gram “Nature.”
Bison are enormous animals,
often more than a dozen feet long
and six feet tall and weighing as
much as 2,000 pounds. Despite
their weight, they
can run as fast as
35 miles per hour.
Usually, however,
they spend much
of their time eating
grass, resting and
chewing their cud.
They are said to
have poor eyesight
and hearing (often
bumping into one
other in a crowded herd), but
their sense of smell is excellent
(although they themselves don’t
smell so good).
The number of bison began
to decline drastically as European settlers moved westward in
America with horses and guns
that made bison hunting easier.
Traders and trappers sold bison
meat and hides, and by the 1870s,
hundreds of thousands of buffalo
hides were shipped eastward each
year.

tinental Railroad hastened the
decline of the bison population.
William “Buffalo Bill” Cody was
hired by the Kansas Pacific Railroad to hunt the bison to feed
thousands of rail
laborers for years.
Hunting parties
arrived from the
east to kill bison
for sport from the
windows of their
railroad coaches.
By 1880, only a
few thousand animals remained.
A 1905 survey indicated the bison population had
shrunk to 1,089. That number rebounded when various groups,
from ranchers to conservationists,
took action to stop the decline.
Today, more than 500,000
bison live in North America (according to the Vote Bison Coalition), including those in 5,000
privately ranched herds, which
provide meat, wool and leather.
The largest rancher is Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, who supplies meat for his 44 Ted’s Montana Grill restaurants in 16 states.
Turner Enterprises manages over
51,000 bison.
To celebrate National Bison
Day on Nov. 5 this year, you can
hug a bison, eat a buffalo steak or
attend commemorative events.
LW chess players do not consume buffalo meat, especially
during chess games. In the game
pictured on this page, Black is
poised to capture White’s Knight,
but it is White’s turn to move.
What is White’s best move? The
answer follows below.
Remember that the Chess Club
meets every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in Clubhouse II
between 1-4 p.m. Membership is
free and open to all. For further
information, call club president
Bernie Ascher at (301-598-8577).
ANSWER: White moves the
Bishop to d7, checking the King.
This forces Black to capture the
Bishop with the King or Rook,
whereupon White captures
Black’s Queen (at c5) and easily
wins the game.
So, do not wait for National
Bison Day. Do not wait to hug a
bison. Do not wait for bison to become extinct. Play chess now!

EDUCATION
NEW – The Gospel of
John: The four Gospels in the
Christian Bible contain many
of the same stories, but each is
written from a different view of
the life of Jesus. You learn different facts about His humanity and His divinity from each of
the four authors.
If you are not a Christian,
but wish to understand why
Christians follow Jesus; a novice Christian and want to learn
more, or have been a Christian for years and want to help
others understand; you are all
welcome.
Before teaching Bible studies in Leisure World, instructor Phyliss Lovett was a lay
counselor and taught at Christian Fellowship in West Palm
Beach, Fla. In September 2009,
she taught her first Bible study
in Leisure World, The Gospel
of John. Over the years in Leisure World, she has taught between 15-20 classes on Biblical scripture. She now believes
that it is time for her to return
to the simplicity of the Gospel
of John.

The Convergence of Geography and History –
How the Physical World
has Affected Us All, a CLL
Class: Remember 5th grade
in elementary school when the
teacher would say, “OK, boys
and girls, time for some geog38 | Leisure World News July 1, 2016
raphy”? And most of the class
would groan, “Oh, no, not geography!” Why was that? Why
did most kids express a dislike
for geography? And why are so
many of today’s adults so geographically challenged?
Tom Conger, the Center for
Lifelong Learning’s geography
lecturer, thinks he knows why.
It’s the way geography was
taught to us. We memorized the
state capitals, learned where
Africa was on a map, and found
out that pineapples came from
Hawaii. What we didn’t learn is
that everything that happens on
the surface of the earth has an
impact on everything else. Geography is unique in bridging
the social sciences (human geography) with the natural sciences (physical geography),
recognizing the great differences in cultures, political systems,
economies and landscapes
across the world, and the links
between them.
In this course, participants
will delve into what geography
is and how it is linked to historical events. And, to end on
a humorous note, there will be
a look at some geographical
“bloopers,” “redundancies” and
outright “I can’t believe he/she
said that” events. Class meets
Tuesdays, Aug. 2-30, 1 p.m.
Fee: $15. Register at: Clubhouse I.
EXERCISE
NEW – Pilates Mix for
Beginners: Enjoy a blend of
mild floor and standing exercises that tone and strengthen
core muscles, creating balance
that improves posture and body
alignment. All done while listening to relaxing music. Bring
a mat.

Sept. 5, Labor Day), noon-1
p.m. Fee: $29. Register at
Clubhouse II.
NEW – Senior Sneakers: Get up and go with a
safe, heart-healthy cardio
workout that is gentle on
the joints. The workout includes easy-to-follow low-impact moves and upper-body
strength training. Have
fun and move to the music
through a variety of exercises designed to increase your
cardio fitness level, strength,
range of movement, and activities for daily living. Bring
your hand-held weights and
work at your own pace.
Class meets Mondays (w/

21-Aug. 25, 9-9:45 a.m. You

Zumba Gold with
Denny – Mondays or Fridays: This program was designed for the older active
adult, a person who has not
been exercising in a long
time or individuals who may
be limited physically. The
biggest difference between
Zumba Gold and Zumba Basic

at a much lower intensity. It
is just as much fun, just not
as fast! Zumba Gold utilizes the same great Latin styles
of music and dance that are
used in the Zumba basic
program.
Class meets Mondays, July

both days. Register at:
Clubhouse II.

Shirley: This unique class

minutes, focusing on cardio
