The Good Times Are Here with the Good Timers!
From the E&R Department
together for 23 years.
Joining them for this performance is vocalist Julie Hall
(pictured). Julie began performing at an early age, forming her own
Top 40 Band at 15 in her native Baltimore. By 18, she had worked
with the group Sister Sledge and recorded the theme for a PBS
Television production. Julie graduated with honors from Howard
University. As she developed her own vocal style as a solo artist,
she performed as an opening act for Whitney Houston, Natalie
Cole, BeBe Winans, Grover Washington, Jr., and Les McCann.
On her own, as a singer and performer, she entertains audiences
throughout the Baltimore/Washington/Virginia area – from posh
hotel lounges to hip music clubs. She has produced two CDs,
“Julie” and “Julie Hall: Live at Montpelier.”
The E&R Department is pleased to welcome the Good
Timers to Leisure World. They will perform on stage in Clubhouse
II at 2 PM on Thursday, April 4. Tickets, $7 per person, go on sale
in both clubhouses at 8:30 am on Tuesday, March 5.
The Good Timers – Dick Erlanger and Claire Spohn on
keyboards – are well known, from Baltimore to Ocean City, for
playing the big band sounds of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s, bringing
back oh so many memories. Claire, the 1998 Senior Ms Maryland,
was a graduate of Julliard and a pianist with the Tommy Tucker
Orchestra. Dick started playing the piano at age 8 and, when he
retired from the business world, he put the Good Timers together.
The Good Timers, which also has a Dixieland band, have been

State University, where for two
years she performed as both a
solo and chamber musician.

has performed in many national and international piano
competitions, winning two first

four summers at the Aspen

healing. Our chancel
choir and Men’s Chorus
member, Dr. Chacko,
was brought to Hebrew
Home of Greater Washington, Rockville, on a
stretcher on Sept. 21 as
a quasi-quadriplegist.
But for the faint movement in the left leg, he
would have been classified a quadriplegist,
completely paralyzed
in both legs and feet.
Three independent physicians told him that he
would never walk again.
Confounding medical
consensus, he walked in
eight months, and now
walks three miles a day
in two 30-minute segments, except when the
weather is quite inclement. Dr. Chacko has
written a book, Miraculous Power/Overcoming
Hopeless Adversity , as
a thanksgiving to God for
the miracle that God has
wrought in his life. After
the mid-week Lenten
service, Dr. Chacko will
be available for book
signing.
The soft cover book
is $15 and the hardcover
book is $30. Booksigning is from 1 to 2
PM. Born in India, Dr.
Chacko received a predoctoral degree at age
19 under the British
University system in
India. A paper he wrote
at age 18 won him an ap-
pointment to the Faculty
of Princeton University
in economics research
in 1953 at age 23. He
received his doctorate
from the New School
University in New York

County Eliminates Annual Fee for Dog Parks
By Linda Feinberg, contributing writer
an you even remember a time
when any Montgomery County
service fee was
eliminated? It happened on
Jan. 1 and right in our own
backyard.
Montgomery
County operates the Olney
Manor Dog Park just a
short drive from the Leisure
World main gate. And, until
recently, there was an annual
fee of $40 per dog to use the
park. But, since enforcement
is difficult and costly, the
county decided to make use
of the facility and five other
dog parks free.
Dogs have to be
leashed in Leisure World and
C
that prevents running and
playing with other dogs. The
park provides a safe place
where dogs can have exercise
while owners may sit on
benches inside the fences and
chat with other dog owners.
There are restrooms nearby
with running water for the
dogs if you bring your own
container.
The dog park is
actually divided between two
secure areas, one for small
dogs, about 20 pounds and
less, and the other for large
dogs. Inside the doublefenced areas, which are more
than an acre in size, the dogs
are unleashed and run freely
with other dogs.
The facility has a
supply of poop bags and a
disposal bin and is cleaned by
park employees on Wednesday mornings. There is also a
bulletin board with notices of
interest to dog owners. The
park is open during daylight
hours, dawn to dusk.
Information about
this park and others may be
found online at http://www.
montgomeryparks.org/facilities/dog_park/dog_parks.

Here are directions
to reach the park from Leisure World. Exit the main
gate and make a right turn
onto Georgia Avenue and
continue towards Olney,
crossing the bridge over the
new ICC highway. Turn right
Havah Nashira-Let’s Sing! A Concert
by Ein Lanu Z’man Band of Agudas
Achim Congregation
Presented by JRLW and Coming of Age Program - By David Firestone
Ein Lanu Z’man,
the official band of Agudas
Achim Congregation, Alexandria, Va., will present a
one-hour concert in Clubhouse II’s auditorium at 1
PM on Wednesday, March
13. Tickets, $6 per person, are
available at the E&R office
in Clubhouse I, check only
payable to JRLW.
The band’s Hebrew
name, which means “We
have no time,” describes the
lives of the band’s talented
and busy members who work
in a variety of professions and
who, with many family and
volunteer obligations, still
manage to find the time to
create innovative, interesting
and inspiring music together.
The musical director, Hazzan Elisheva Dienstfrey (pictured), originally
from Albuquerque, N.M.,
has participated in Jewish
musical activities since she
was seven years old and sang
in her synagogue’s children
choir, directed by her father,
Dr. Michael Linver. Hazzan
Dienstfrey has toured Europe with the U.S. National
Chorus and has a dual degree
in music and religious studies from Occidental College. She has also studied at
Hebrew University and the
Pardes Institute in Jerusalem,
and has been a cantor at the
Society for the Advancement
of Judaism in New York
City. She graduated from
the H.L. Miller Cantorial
School of the Theological
Seminary of America and has
served as Hazzan of Agudas
Achim Congregation since
July 2000. With her husband
Tobias, they have four children, Margalit, Akiva, Dassi
and Lev.
All of the music of
Ein Lanu Z’man comes from
the Jewish tradition, with a
diverse repertoire that features folk, classical, rock and
other influences. The concert
at Leisure World will include
four members of the band.

Why Join The Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL)?
by Ron Masi, CLL Chair, Communication Committee
The following is an answer
to that question from a
recent member:
“The first thing I
read in the LW newspaper
is the classes offered. Of
special interest have been
those taught by the Center
for Lifelong Learning
(CLL), where people from
our own community offer
classes. These are taught by
people, who in their work
life, avocation or expertise,
are uniquely qualified
to inform the subject,
whether it be on Digital
Photography, the Supreme
Court or the Civil War.
“Unfortunately
for me, I have been
unrelentingly disappointed
that I was unable to take any
of these courses. Like most
of the classes in exercise,
dance or water activities,
CLL classes are during the
day, when I am at work.
“I am looking
forward to retirement in
August, and when I saw
that CLL was looking

as its guest speaker Mr. Patrick McDonough, a delegate
in the Maryland House of
Delegates. He will talk about

the Maryland legislative term
that ends in April 2013.
Following the program, the club will induct
its new officers elected at
the February meeting. They
are: President, Frederick
Seelman; First Vice President, Frederick Denecke;
Second Vice-President, Irmgard Patrick; Recording
Secretary, Donna Reilly; and
Treasurer, Joan Billerbeck.
At the last meeting, the club presented a
richly informative and enjoyable Frances Jones on the
subject, “How Can Seniors
Improve their Place in the
Political Mix?” Ms. Jones is
the past president (two terms)
of the largest Republican
Senior Club in Maryland,
the Republican Senior Club
of Anne Arundel County,
a member of the Maryland
Senior Citizens Hall of Fame
(who said Republican seniors
could not get recognized in
Maryland?) and is in charge
of the CASA senior program
in Anne Arundel County. She
gave us dozens of ideas of
ways for seniors to enhance
their political position and
for us to improve our club.
Individuals who
want to volunteer or have
questions about the club
should contact our president,
Fred Seelman, by emailing
him at fseelman@gmail.
com or sending him a letter at his address in the LW
phone book.
Join us for another
quality event on March
18, expand your political
horizons and enjoy both the
conversation and coffee.

with various activities,
I volunteered, with the
promise to do what I
can now, and increase
responsibilities
after
August. Besides my interest
in contributing to a worthy
LW activity, I am hoping
to influence the schedule
at some point so that those
of us at LW who still work
during the day may be
periodically offered a class
or two in the evening. After
all, one can enter LW at
55, when many of us still
choose to work.
“At my first
CLL meeting, another
new member suggested
gathering information on
people on LW who might
be involved in teaching
future classes. We at CLL
are convinced that many
people in LW could offer
informative perspectives
on subjects of historical or
current issues or practical
advice on many subjects.
“So this letter has
a dual purpose:
• To encourage
those who offer classes to
consider an evening time.
• To encourage
people who are capable of
sharing their expertise in a
subject by offering a class.

The Garden and Environmental Club
(G&E)
Afternoon Tea Party • By Arnold Litman
Our mild winter
(so far) will be celebrated
by many attending the Afternoon Tea Party on Tuesday,
March 12 from 1 to 3 in Clubhouse I. Sponsored again by
G&E, this event was a huge
success last year. It enlisted
very favorable comments
from frost-nipped residents,
as well as snowbirds who
have returned early from
Florida.
During the tea,
Elaine O’Leary, gifted pianist and interim conductor of
the Leisure World Chorale,
will play for our enjoyment.
This year, the theme
is “My Fair Lady” and you
will have the opportunity to
wear your favorite, perfect
tea hat. Fashion judges
will evaluate all attendees
in order to select the most
Sunday-best-elegant chapeau. A photographer will
record the doings for your
biography and a prize (TBD)
will be awarded. Other gift
certificates from donors will
be available.
Do not even think
of having a large breakfast
that day because tea sandwiches, scones, homemade

preserves and desserts will
grace each table, along with
a variety of teas. For caffeine
addicts, we will also provide
coffee.
Last year, the White
Elephant table drew a lot of
attention. So we will have it
again this year, along with a
raffle for a painting by one of
Leisure World’s local talents.
Tickets for the afternoon tea can be purchased
from G&E members beginning Feb. 19 and in Clubhouse I’s lobby on March
6, 7, 8 and 11 (Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Monday) from 10 am to 2 PM.
Peggy Arillo (301-5981494), event chair, urges you
to get your tickets early for
this sellout event. She will
also be happy to sell, at $12
per ticket, a table for 10 to
accommodate nine of your
best friends.
Remember, funds
will provide for the purchase
and planting of a special
Arbor Day tree on Leisure
World grounds. So do not
miss the party. It is a prespring Leisure World event.

Jewish War Veterans Charles Krieger Post 567 at Leisure World
By Milton Loube
State Delegate
Ben Kramer will speak at
the March 10 brunch, Clubhouse I, Crystal Ballroom at
10:15 am. Del. Kramer was
born and raised in Montgomery County. He graduated from the University of
Maryland with a degree in
law enforcement. He has
worked tirelessly representing the people of Maryland
and to develop solutions to
troubling problems. He is the
son of our comrade, Sidney
Kramer, a former state senator and former Montgomery
County executive. Ben is
also the brother of former
state Senator Rona Kramer.
Without question the Kramer
family is one of the most respected and deeply dedicated
public service families in
Maryland. Working collaboratively with his colleagues in Annapolis, they
have passed new legislation,
which has improved the
lives of Maryland residents.
Ben was honored by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers
(MADD) Maryland for his
service and efforts in passing
the Drunk Driving Elimination Act. He was the recipient
of the Katie’s Hero AwardNational recognition for his
sponsorship and leadership
in passing the DNA Database
legislation, which has taken
violent sex offenders and
criminals off our streets. He
introduced legislation to protect Maryland seniors from
bank fraud. There are many
important issues now being
debated in Annapolis that
should be of great interest
to all residents. All are welcome to hear Del. Kramer
and join us for an appetizing brunch complete with
blintzes, lox, bagels, eggs,
tuna salad, fruit, salad, danish and more for a nominal
cost of $14 per person. Please
make your reservation check
payable to JWV Post 567 and
mail it to Marvin Franklin,
3200 N.L.W.B. Apt 709,
Silver Spring, MD 20906.
Your support is appreciated.
Business Meeting-March 6, Clubhouse I at

standing are urged to attend.
Major issues will be raised
and debated. Your voice and
opinion are important and
need to be heard so please
make an effort to attend.
Coffee and donuts will be
served.

State Natural Resources Official to Discuss
Deer Management Issues and Options • By Jay Harding
George Timko, assistant Deer Project leader
and urban biologist with
the Maryland Department
of Natural Resources, will
discuss complex deer management issues and available
options at 2 PM on March 11
in Clubhouse I. A 40-minute
PowerPoint presentation
will be followed by Q&A.
Deer overpopulation, and its inherent dangers, is drawing increased
attention in Leisure World.
In addition of the high risk
of personal injury and even
death in vehicle-deer collisions, there is the growing
problem of damage and
destruction of natural environment in highly planted
areas of the community. And
of particular concern is the
issue of deer as palpable host
for Lyme disease ticks. Lyme
disease is the sixth fastest
growing disease in the nation, according to the federal
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Adding to the issue mix are reports by
animal rights activists in the
community that emaciated
animals have been sighted
among the herds, due to
unsustainable food supply
in a confined and fenced
habitation area.
In recent years,
the Montgomery County
Department of Parks has
conducted urban deer reduction programs in the nearby
neighborhoods of Aspen
Hill, Wheaton and Rockville
as well as on golf courses
and in recreation and park
venues.
All residents are invited to attend what promises
to be a timely and significant
educational experience.
INFORCE is seeking interested individuals to
fill several vacancies on its
Executive Committee.

Three years his
junior, his sister, Pamela,
a lyric soprano, has sung
with the Washington National Opera, San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera
of Chicago and on stages
throughout Europe in
performances including
Don Giovanni, Macbeth,
Porgy and Bess, Maid of
Orleans and La Clemenza di Tito. She performed
as the governess in Turn
of the Screw, Pamina in
Die Zauberflöte, Suor
Dolcina in Suor Angelica,
Achsah in Joshua and
with the Wolf Trap Opera

music. Once hailed as the
“Only African American
Brother and Sister Classical Vocal Duet in the
USA!” the duet trained
with husband and wife,
Michael and Rosemary
Crouse and coached
with Melvin Jordan. The
Simonsons were benefactors of many community organizations
and churches including the NAACP, Urban
League, William Warfield Award, McAllister
Music Awards, Eastman
School of Music Award,
Long Island Philharmonic Music Award, and Hal
Jackson Talent Award.
As a result, the duo has
a deep desire to “giveback-to-the-community”
and co-founded, along
with their mother Terri
Allen, the Coalition for
African Americans in the
Performing Arts (CAAPA) an organization designed to “Bring Color to
the Classics.” The group
provides performance
opportunities to African American classical
singers, music scholarships, concert tickets,
sponsorships, and music
camp opportunities to
young people. They are
returning to the stage
after 10 years performing
individually. Sunday’s
concert will include classical works by Handel,
Beethoven, Puccini and
Chopin, as well as music
by Gershwin, Kern, Burleigh and Joubert.
The concert is open
to the public, including
guests outside of Leisure
World.
A free-will donation at the door helps to
support these concerts of
highly acclaimed musicians. A reception will
follow the concert in the
chapel’s Fellowship Hall.

The Art Scene at RAG
By Sheila Campbell
We are showing off a little at local
restaurants. The Galleria
at Ranazul is featuring three RAG artists,
Marcia Nilson, Marcia
Davis and Genevieve
Roberts. The opening is
March 3 with an artist’s
reception March 10. All
are welcome. And if you
are dining at The Inn at
Brookeville any time
during the year, you will
find several RAG artists
on exhibit, including
Hope Gordon, Bertha
Padams, Sherry Jose and
Loretta Morgan.
In addition,
more opportunities are
available to exhibit (and
perhaps sell) your work.
The Woman’s Club of
Chevy Chase has its
annual show coming up
in April. Registration
deadline for the show
is Monday, March 11.
On Wednesday, April 3
from 9:30 am to noon
or 6 to 7:30 PM, they
will accept delivery of
your work and the following weekend, April
5-7 is showtime. Judging will take place at a
champagne reception
Friday evening, April 5
with awards presented in
six categories. The fee to
enter is $8 per painting.
Invitations have been
sent out to previous exhibitors, but if you need
more information or a
copy of the invitation,
please give me a call.
A second show
is being given this year
by the Woman’s Club
of Potomac at the Potomac United Methodist
Church, 9908 S. Glen
Road on Saturday, June
8 from 10 am to 4 PM. It
is one day only, with time
set aside to meet the artists. This is a new venture
and there will be no judging. Fees for submission
is $7. The proceeds go to
their charity fund, and
any art sale profit will
go to the artist. If you
need more information
about this event you can
contact Jenny Wilson at
301-438-8732.
Our featured
teacher for February
was Genevieve Roberts
with her paintings, which
are now hanging in the
corridor niche. Here are
a couple of photos, but
check out the originals.
We also have several
new members who are
exhibiting in the corridor
for March, so be sure to
take a look at the current
display.
A problem for
our first winter session
was lack of plastic covers for the tables. I want
to emphasize that we
now have a supply, but
remember we have to
purchase them and we
sell them to students at
our basic cost. Please
remember to reimburse
RAG when you need a
new one. They will be
stored in the locker next
to the closet door since
they seemed to get lost in
the shelves of the closet.
A couple of other
issues—the sink is pretty
clogged up and we are attempting to get it cleaned.
Please remember not to
put any paint or solvent
down the drain. Also the
guillotine in the studio
is dull from overuse (it
has been there a long
time) and we are trying

Fun And Fancy News
by Allan Okin
Our club has been
striving to go in new directions, while holding
onto traditional efforts, to
provide residents, as well
as the members, with topnotch entertainment. This
year, we have been proud
of our steady increase in
membership, involvement
of new members in our
productions, countywide
appreciation of our Outreach Program and the
most positive audience
reaction and financial success in years for our fall
musical review, “Songs
in His Heart.”
If you have been reading this column, you know
we are steadily gearing up
for our spring play, Social Security, by Andrew
Bergman, and produced by
special arrangement with
Samuel French, Inc. Four
performances are scheduled for May 10, 11 and
18 at 7:30 PM, and on May
19 at 2 PM. We will have
our “meet the cast reception” following the May
10 performance. Under a
new director, Laurie Freed
(more about Ms. Freed in
a later article), auditions
will be held in Clubhouse
II at 7 PM on March 18, 19
and 20. A copy of the script
is available in the Leisure
World library, for use in
the library only. There are
six roles of varying length
for three females and three
males to pique your interest. This production has
never before been performed on a Leisure World
stage, and we are guaranteeing a lot of laughs.
After the April 3 meeting,
when President Feldman
will call for nominations
from the floor for several
board positions (if you recall, Dorothy Hughes (301598-7008) is chairwoman
of the Nominations Committee and is accepting
nominations for consideration now), our performers
will entertain you in Fun
& Fancy’s own Academy
Awards show, honoring
Oscar-winning songs and
film scores over several
decades. Auditions will be
held on March 11 at 7 PM
in the Clubhouse II auditorium. Call this reporter
(301-589-2349) about how
to prepare for your audition, if you have not done
so already. Remember, our
meeting starts promptly
at 7:30 PM, the nostalgic
show follows, then socializing and refreshments.
Such monthly events are
free for members and only
$2 per person for guests.
Our May 1 show
in Clubhouse I’s ballroom
promises to be a “rockin’
and rollin’” funfest created by first-time producers/directors Pat McConnell and Stan Jones. The
election of officers for the
Fun & Fancy board of directors will take place at
the meeting, which will
start promptly at 7:30 PM
prior to this rousing event.
The annual banquet in the
Clubhouse II ballroom on
June 5 is for members only
and will feature the installation of officers. Michael
Schwartz has arranged for
singer/pianist John Oliver
to provide entertainment
following a spectacular
buffet. Lastly, the weekend prior to the Fourth of
July (June 28 29, and 30)
will feature the Community Show, sponsored by
E&R and F&F. This year,
Elaine Apter and Phyllis
Lovett will be co-choreographing/directing; thus,
we can look forward to
great, entertaining dancing. More details will be
forthcoming, but mark
your calendars now and
look for specific details in
next month’s column.

late for the March meeting,
the next meeting is April 7.)
Baby Boomers (mostly the
younger residents of Leisure World) are invited to
join us. Our dues are $5 per

Interfaith Committee for the Homeless and Working Poor
by Hilde Holcomb
Our Feb. 13 meeting began at 10 am, instead of
the usual 9, to accommodate those who wanted to attend
worship services before or after the meeting.
The first item of business was the Monday sandwich making. All the members of the committee were
pleased to hear that it is going well. “Thank you” to all of
you who are making sandwiches!
In the last report, I explained that the committee is
comprised of the four main faith groups at Leisure World.
Each of the four groups is invited to select a team leader.
So when people call Cindy Hensen (240-242-3004) to
volunteer to make sandwiches on Mondays, she will refer
them to a team leader who will give them a date and time.
These sandwiches are sent to the men’s shelter on
Gude Drive. It stands to reason that more men seek shelter
in cold weather than in warm weather. In the winter months,
Expires 3.31.13.
we provide 150 sandwiches per week. In the spring and
summer months, 70 sandwiches per week seem sufficient.
After discussion on the time to cut back to 70, it was agreed
to make the change on April 1.
Several times a year we prepare a meal for the
residents of Sophia House and take it to them. Sophia House
is in Rockville and is a residence for homeless women. The
next dinner is April 29. The entree is always homemade
meatloaf. When the chairman asked for meatloaf volunteers
at the Feb. 13 meeting, many hands went up! You could
just feel the bond between our women being so willing to
help and the women who need help. Since we have another
meeting before this event, I will get the rest of the menu
and report it in the next column.
April will be a busy month for us because it is also
time for the Baby Shower, which is April 18! It is a big
event, and we are looking
forward to it. The time is
from 8:30 am until noon. As
usual, you may bring your
gifts by car to curbside (Clubhouse I) and the members
will be happy to receive your gifts. Or you can bring them
inside and survey what others have brought.
Last year, I was taken away with a box of booties
that someone had crocheted. They were identical except for
the color. They were all different colors! What a display!
If you do not knit or crochet, not to worry! Much
needed are disposable diapers, baby oil, soap, lotion, shampoo and all the other things that add to the baby’s comfort
and well being.
And when it is all over, we look forward to seeing Sabrina Wilson. She is from Interfaith Works and will
organize everything received into layettes. Think of all the
families, clients of Interfaith Clothing, who will have what
they need for the new baby!

Dr. Anya Parpura-Gill to Address Patient’s Rights Council
by Mary Ann Johnston
The Patient’s
Rights Council of Leisure World meets next
on Tuesday, March 12 at
1:30 PM in Clubhouse I.
Dr. Anya Parpura, MD,
PhD, (she now uses her
maiden name) last spoke
to our group in January
2012 on depression in
the senior population.
Members found her presentation very informative and helpful and had
many questions. Due to
time constraints we were
unable to hear about treatment options. Members
have requested that she
return and give us more
insight into the incidence
and treatment of depression in seniors.
Dr. Anya Parpura is a gerontologist
and an expert in the field
of aging and dementia
with extensive expertise
in teaching and training
of families, professional
and ancillary staff in
nature of illness and
behavioral management
of dementia. She has devoted 15 years to research
of gerontological issues
such as loneliness, selfidentity, successful aging
and care for Alzheimer’s
disease patients etc., and
has authored a number of
papers and educational
materials on these topics. Dr. Parpura is on the
faculty of the Washington
School of Psychiatry
and president of Aging
Perspectives, Inc. All are
invited and encouraged
to attend our informative
meetings and especially
invited to hear Dr. Parpura.
At our February meeting, Monsignor
Donald Essex, Pastor
at Our Lady of Grace
Church gave a talk on
the “Catholic Perspective on Pastoral Care of
the Ill and Dying”. There
are four aspects to this
subject. Catholic Church
teaching respects the life
and dignity of the human
person, it takes care of
God’s gift of life through
medicine and health care.
Secondly, the historic
meaning of euthanasia is
“easy death.” Euthanasia
advocates capitalize on
people’s fears; they believe the right to choose
must take precedent over
life itself, that the right
to choose is the ultimate
freedom. However, we
are stewards of life; in
America, we have an
inalienable right to life;
if the right to life is
dismantled, then other
rights are in danger. The
third point addresses end
of life issues; painkillers
are permitted to relieve
physical suffering even
if they shorten life or
cause death. We are not
obligated to use extraordinary means to prolong
life but basic care, food
and fluids, must never be
denied. Pastoral Care is
visiting the ill and administering the Sacrament of
the Sick to the seriously
ill. The Sacrament and the
Eucharist bring spiritual
and physical strength
during illness or when
near death.
By error, the last
Patient’s Rights Council
article was not printed in
the Leisure World News.
In summary of that article, the purposes of the
Patient’s Rights Council
of Leisure World are to
educate seniors on health
and end-of-life issues and
to oppose any attempts to
legalize physician-assisted suicide. Maryland law
specifically prohibits assisted suicide; however,
physicians who provide
medication to relieve
pain are not prosecuted
even if the dosage could
increase the risk of death,
unless they acted with
intent to assist a suicide.
The law states that an
individual may not 1)
by coercion, duress or
deception, knowingly
cause another individual
to commit suicide or attempt to commit suicide;
2) knowingly provide the
physical means by which
another individual commits or attempts to commit suicide with knowledge of that individual’s
intent to use the physical
means to commit suicide
or 3) knowingly participate in a physical act by
which another individual
commits or attempts to
commit suicide.
Physician assisted suicide is legal in
Oregon and Washington
and the Oregon Public
Health Division has released Assisted Suicide
statistics for 2012. The
Oregon Law permits the
physician to prescribe a
lethal dose of medicine
that will cause death,
however the lethal dose
may be administered
without oversight. Because oversight is not
required, the potential
exists for an heir or someone else who will benefit
from the patient’s death
to administer the lethal
dose without the patient’s
consent. In only 11 of the
reported 77 Death with
Dignity Act deaths was a
physician or other health
care worker present. Who
would know if the patient
changed his mind about
taking the lethal drug?
A disproportionate number of these
deaths occured among
people aged 65 or over,
(67.5 percent) the median
age was 69. Only two of
the 77 deaths in 2012
were referred for formal
psychiatric evaluation
although Oregon Law
states if the attending
physician suspects the
patient may be suffering
from a psychiatric disorder or depression causing
impaired judgment, the
physician shall refer the
patient for counseling.
Are seniors receiving the
psychiatric care that they
need to treat depression?
Prescribing a lethal dose
of medicine is much less
expensive than providing
psychiatric care; 34 of the
77 patients were receiving Medicaid or Medicare, most were covered
by private insurance.

Democratic Club of Leisure World
Safety, Consumer Issues Are Focus of March Meeting • Council Member Phil Andrews Is Main Speaker • By Emile Miln
Montgomery
County Council member
Phil Andrews will headline the March meeting of
the Democratic Club of
Leisure World (DCLW on
Thursday, March 14 at 7
PM in Clubhouse I’s Crystal
Ballroom. Refreshments
will be served.
Mr. Andrews will
discuss a variety of issues
important to residents of
the community, including:
the traffic impact of homes
being built at Norbeck and
Georgia Avenues, public
safety concerns affecting
seniors, development projects in the county, as well
as an update on plans for the
Purple Line and rapid rail.
A member of the
County Council since 1998,
Mr. Andrews represents
District 3, which includes
Gaithersburg, Rockville,
Washington Grove, Leisure
World and parts of Aspen
Hill, Derwood, North Potomac and Potomac. Leisure
World was added to Mr.
Andrews’ District 3 in the
2012 redistricting. A former
president of the council in
2008-09, he has chaired the
Public Safety Committee
since 2000 and is a member
of the Education Committee.
A bill pushed by
Mr. Andrews, allowing
Montgomery County to hire
severely disabled employees
on a noncompetitive basis,
was recently enacted by the
council.
Consumer Issues
Also at the March
meeting, Eric Friedman,
director of the Montgomery
County Office of Consumer
Protection, will offer insights on important consumer issues, most notably,
new credit card surcharges,
identity theft and so-called
grandparent scams.
The controversial
credit card surcharge, which
took effect last Jan. 27, allows merchants to impose an
added charge of up to four
percent on any credit card
transaction. Application of
the charge is at the discretion
of the retailer. Mr. Friedman
will explain how the penalty
works and how to avoid it.
Mr. Friedman, an
attorney, has worked in the
consumer protection office
for 32 years. He oversees

Recycling can and does make a difference!!!
From the Sanitation Department
This article provides helpful information
regarding recycling here at Leisure World of Maryland. Some of our practices differ from Montgomery
County. Please understand and follow these guidelines
to help hold down your fees.
Leisure World does not take newspapers to
Montgomery County for recycling. Instead, as a cost
saving measure, newspapers are sold to an alternate
recycling facility. As a result, the community saves
the expense of paying to dispose of newsprint/cardboard and receives payment from the recycler of
approximately $35 to $85 per ton.
1. Newspapers, junk mail, including inserts
(pick up on each Wednesday).
2. Magazines (pick up on the first Wednesday of the month).
Note: Please separate magazines from newspaper and place in paper bags or in recycling containers, or tie with string. No plastic bags please – not
even to fill with recyclables! Montgomery County
does not accept plastic bags for recycling. These can
be recycled at your local grocery store. If you are
concerned that paper is going to get wet, please wait
until the next pick-up.
3. Aluminum, bi-metal (steel/tin) cans and
aluminum foil products.
4. Glass bottles and jars (green, clear and
amber).
5. Acceptable Types of Plastics: Plastic
bottles, containers, lids, jars, pails, bucket (with metal
and plastic handles) and food grade tubs. Narrow-neck
bottles that contained food, drink and household products (milk, juice, soda, water, salad dressing, cooking
oil, shampoo/conditioner and cleaning and detergent
bottles) butter, margarine tubs, yogurt containers,
cottage cheese containers, sour cream containers,
mayonnaise jars, peanut butter jars, whipped topping
containers, prescription bottles, deli containers and
trays, plastic tubs with lids and platter trays, ice cream
buckets, plastic beverage cups, laundry detergent tubs
and buckets, kitty litter containers, painting buckets
(up to five gallons), plastic lids and plastic flower pots.
Unacceptable Types of Plastics: No container that held automotive or garden products (motor
oil, antifreeze, and pesticide containers), plastic bags,
plastic wrap, Styrofoam/polystyrene cups, trays and
packaging, clamshell packaging (marked #1 or #6),
microwavable trays, toys, kiddie pools, plastic flower
tray packs (marked #6) or other large plastic items.
Note: Aluminum, bi-metal (steel/tin) cans,
glass, plastic and aluminum foil products that go
into your blue recycling bucket will be picked up on
the same day as your trash schedule.
6. Yard trimmings (grass, leaves, brush and
Christmas trees). Call Grounds Department at 301598-1314 to arrange for pick up. No plastic bags
please!
How to Recycle/Dispose of Fluorescent Light Tubes
and Bulbs (CFL’s)
The concern with fluorescent tubes and bulbs
is that they contain a thin mercury layer. It is less than
1/100th of the amount of mercury in a thermometer,
but still renders these lights household hazardous
waste when they burn out and require disposal. Fluorescent bulbs and tubes can be dropped off at the PPD
Warehouse for recycling or taken to the Shady Grove
Solid Waste Processing Facility or other Montgomery
County household hazardous waste drop-off location.
Home Depot in Aspen Hill will accept fluorescent
bulbs, but not tubes. A broken CFL or tube can be
double-bagged in re-sealable plastic bags and placed
in your household trash. For additional instructions
on how to cleanup and dispose of a broken CFL,
visit the EPA website at http://www2.epa.gov/cfl/
cleaning-broken-cfl.
How to Recycle/Dispose of Cans and Aluminum
Foil Products
We accept all metal food, beverage, and pet
food cans; aluminum foil products (examples: foil
wrap, pie plates, and other food trays), empty aerosol
cans, and tins from cookies, fruitcakes, popcorn and
similar items. Please clean containers and wipe off
foil. Place these in your blue bin for collection.
How to Recycle/Dispose of Electronics
A community drop-off location is provided
outside the Woodworking Shop on the lower level of
Clubhouse I (accessed from Glen Eagles Drive). A
wooden pallet with a sign indicates where to place
items such as televisions, VCR’s, computers, monitors,
printers, hard drives, toners and cartridges, telephones,
cell phones and small appliances. Electronic items
are taken to the recycling facility when a sufficient
quantity has been collected.
Summation: With your assistance, Leisure
World can maintain its ranking as one of the leaders
in recycling in the state. The Leisure World of Maryland Sanitation Department would like to thank our
residents for their outstanding efforts and continued
support of our recycling program. Our environment
and natural resources will benefit greatly from your
recycling endeavors. Please keep up the good job in
2013!

Why Are Fire Risks Higher For Older Adults?
From the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee
Complications associated with aging increase the
likelihood that an elderly person will accidentally start a
fire and, at the same time, reduce his or her chances of
surviving it. Adults in the age group between 65 and 75
have a fire death rate twice that of the national average;
between 75 and 85, three times the national average and,
over 85, four times the national average.
This article presents information on reasons why
risks are higher for older adults and where to obtain information on preparing for a fire emergency in Leisure World.
Aging and Fire Risks
• The likelihood of experiencing a severe disability
increases with age. Impairments associated with the aging
process, such as blindness or deafness, predispose the elderly to accidental injuries, including fires. Mobility may
be affected by disability, complicating escape from fire.
• Hearing impairment in older adults increases
the risks from fires. There are specialized devices to help
compensate for hearing impairment in case of fire, but
individuals may not have these devises for a number of
reasons such as cost.
• Blindness or visual impairment in older adults
increases the risks from fires. Vision loss reduces a person’s
ability to interact with the environment that determines
fire risk.
• Approximately 30 percent of non-institutionalized older adults live alone, placing them at higher risk for
accidental injury from fire.
• Many older adults take multiple medications and
their interactions can cause a variety of side effects, including confusion, that may alter the decision-making process
and increase the potential for accidents. This is especially
the case when medications are combined with alcohol.
Information on preparation for fire emergencies in
Leisure World
The LW Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee recommends that all mutuals and individuals in
Leisure World have an emergency preparedness plan that
includes instructions for what to do in case of fire. By necessity, the specifics of these plans vary by type of housing.
Leisure World residents should contact their mutual’s board
of directors if they want more information about what to
do in case of fire. This is especially the case for residents
with special needs that might impair their response to a fire
situation. Individual resident’s emergency preparedness
plan should be coordinated with their mutual’s emergency
preparedness plans. If a mutual is participating in the Mutual Readiness Program, residents should consider joining
their neighbors in sharing personal information that could

Wrestling with Chess in the Olympics
By Bernie Ascher and Pat Leanza
As If we did not have enough to worry about, now
the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has eliminated
wrestling from the 2020 Olympics. The world wrestling community is furious over the decision and Olympic committees
in a number of countries are organizing to fight it, including
the United States, Russia, Japan and Iran.
Evidently, wrestling does not attract a large enough
audience to justify its inclusion in the Olympics, even though
it is an ancient sport, which appeared in the very first Olympics in Greece thousands of years ago.
No one has suggested it yet, but one solution could
be to combine wrestling with chess (currently a non-Olympic
sport), thereby expanding the audience. The cerebral sport
would make a good partner with the physical sport. The
sports can be synchronized so that the TV audience will be
viewing wrestling between chess moves and chess between
wrestling moves. Both sports are inexpensive, requiring
little equipment. In fact, ancient Greek Olympians wrestled
in the nude. Chess, too, can be played in the nude, but not
in Clubhouse II.
Incidentally, Clubhouse II recently was the site of an
interesting Leisure World match, as illustrated by the chess
diagram elsewhere on this page (courtesy of chesslab.com).
In this game, White has just moved the Knight from g1 to
e2, protecting the Knight at c3 and threatening the Black
Bishop at d4. What is Black’s best move?
While you are grappling with that question, let us
remind you that all you have to do to play a good, relaxing
and challenging game of chess is to drop by Clubhouse II
between 1 and 4 PM on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Chess
sets are available. Membership is free and all are welcome,
even “rusty players” and beginners. For further information,
call Club President Bernie Ascher (301-598-8577) or Activities Chairman Pat Leanza (240-242-4516).
In the chess diagram, Black has several good moves,
but the best move is for the Bishop to capture the White Pawn
at f2 because it ends the game with a checkmate!
So do not wait for the final Olympic decision on

wrestling, which probably will not be made until the IOC
general assembly meets in Buenos Aires in September. Do
not wait for the 2020 Olympics. Play chess now!

Camera Club Photographers Become Journalists
through the lens of Stu Lillard and Julie Thomas
Recently in Mutual 15, I could not help but
think of an old song at the time this pine tree was being
cut down: --- “Oh when they cut down the old pine
tree, they hauled it away to the mill, to make a casket
of pine for that sweetheart of mine, when they cut
down to old pine tree.” Some may substitute “cabin”
in place of casket.
Many from around here will recognize the
lines in this song as the theme for the lovable and
long-time broadcaster, Arch McDonald, of the old
Washington Senators baseball games in the 1940’s. I
thought it might be appropriate to use that ditty to go
along with the photo.

On Tuesday, March 12, the Rossmoor Camera
Club will meet in Clubhouse II at 7 PM to hear member
Fred Shapiro reveal the mysteries of the inner icons of
digital cameras. Members and guests should clear their
digital cameras of stored photographs and bring their
cameras to the meeting, ready to ask questions and be
informed. Digital cameras have a menu button or a mode
wheel. The camera has been programmed with a field
of icons that are stored in the menu. To many photographers, this variety of icons is a perplexing situation.
What do all these icons mean? Why do they exist? How
do the icons relate to the subject matter that you, as a
photographer, wish to capture? Shapiro will walk the
audience through the modes, explaining what the modes
are programmed to do. He will demonstrate some of
the basic modes or icons that give the best results and
are most useful to the average photographer. Once the
photographer understands the digital camera, then he
or she may concentrate on important subjects such as
composition and the finished results.
One week later, on March 19 at 7 PM, the
club will hold its monthly competition with a theme of
photojournalism. (This early date is chosen to avoid a
religious holiday.) The deadline is midnight, Sunday,
March 17. Submit the competition email with attached
digital entries and a list of prints to be brought to the
meeting to [email protected]. Club members
can submit up to a total of four photographs, either digital
of prints. Only a total of three items of the four may be
submitted in either category. Since the titles or short
headlines for the photojournalism entries will be read
aloud during the competition, attention should be given
to forming clear, short, understandable titles: example,
“General Crosses Delaware River before Major Battle”
or “Nonagenarian Flips Golf Cart after Hole in One.”
Two days prior to the competition, the Camera
Club will host the North Bethesda Camera Club (NBCC)
for a joint program on Sunday, March 17 from 3 to 5 PM
in Clubhouse II’s auditorium. (Note the time change.)
This is the NBCC’s 27th annual show. It is a two-hour
presentation with a short intermission and is part of
LW’s Sunday photo matinees. Individual members of
NBCC tour the world, and their own backyards to record
the beauty of nature. This award winning quality show
represents a high statement of area photography and is
open to the entire LW community.

Peripheral Neuropathy Group of Leisure World
By Herb Fine, 1 240 669 7908—[email protected]
Debra Dixon was our speaker in February. She
was gracious, friendly and was overwhelmingly acknowledged by our group. She was extremely helpful.
Pam Schlemon from the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy provided a wealth of material
and I displayed about 15 sets defining the foundation
that were immediately used by members who were
not at the January meeting and they proceeded to fill
out a form to mail in so that all material from the
foundation would go directly to each individual. For
those who have not attended the January and February meetings, I will have additional material for the
March meeting.
The foundation’s credo is: “Our work doesn’t
end with our search for a cure, in many ways, it is
just beginning. Knowledge is power, and informed
patients are able to assume control of their health in
new ways thanks to our efforts to provide them with
the tools and resources that help them live with PN.
Together with FPN and NAF are initiating outreach
programs to raise awareness about Diabetic Peripheral
Neuropathy (DPN), its symptoms, and treatment opPlease use this coupon to write your classified ad. Rates

tions so that people living with DPN can have fulfilling
and meaningful lives and healthcare professionals can
provide optimal care and support for these patients.”
Many who do not have PN read our column.
I had mentioned my difficulty with cataract surgery
and two people called to inquire about my eye surgery.
I renew the publication of the ways that will
cause PN. Interventional therapy for neuropathic
pain, which includes “adaptive devices and physical
and occupational therapy.” increases muscle strength
and mobility, and helps improve function. This is
accomplished through exercising, using braces to
restore weak limbs or muscles, learning new ways
to perform difficult tasks and learning to use adaptive equipment. Physical therapy does not affect the
underlying disease, but helps achieve optimal function within the limitations imposed by the severity
of the neuropathy.
I read in a recent newspaper that there now
is a cure for leprosy, which is a form of PN.
Gail Rosenberg, the pharmacist in charge at
the MedStar Health Medical Center, will speak of
the medications relating to PN at our March 17 meeting. Beth Shapiro LCSW, JSSA Senior Services, has
volunteered to speak on “Having a Difficult Time”
on April 21. Plans for future speakers include Pam
Shiemon, May 19; Claudia Miller, June 16; Sherry
Weber, July 21 and, perhaps, Rachel L. Weisman for
Aug. 18.
At our next meeting if we have 30 percent or
more members with e-mail, we will provide notice
to those through e-mail. The balance of our members
will be called the Tuesday prior to the Sunday, March
17 meeting. (St. Patrick’s day—corned beef and cabbage in the Leisure World restaurants.) We will meet
at 2 PM in Clubhouse I.
Pedestrian Crosswalks
A Message from Security Department
The Security Department receiveds numerous
complaints regarding automobiles failing to stop for
pedestrians at crosswalks. Pedestrians must also do
their part by using sidewalks and marked crosswalks
and not walk in the street.
There are a number of residents in the community who are hard-of-hearing, or visually impaired;
others, due to physical limitations, walk slowly.
Motorists failing to yield the right-of-way to these
residents show no regard for the safety of pedestrians. These people are your friends and neighbors. We urge
that you follow the mandate in the Maryland State
Driver's Handbook, which states:
“Pedestrian Right-of-Way. Pedestrians in a
crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked, have the
Right-of-Way, except when they enter the cross-walk
at a red light or against the direction of the traffic
officer.”
When a driver of a vehicle is approaching a
crosswalk, the driver must come to a complete stop
when a pedestrian is crossing the roadway on which
the vehicle is traveling. Whenever any vehicle is
stopped at a marked or unmarked crosswalk to permit
a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the driver of any
other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not
overtake and pass such a stopped vehicle.

Kiwanis Club of Leisure World By Chuck Lavin (301-598-0463)
Over 250 came out for the Kiwanis’ program
featuring Steve Flynn “singing the songs Sinatra sang.”
Congratulations must go to Fund Raising Chairman Anita
McFarlane and her hard working committee in selling
tickets and hosting a very nice reception afterwards.
Our club hosted the Capital District-Potomac
District Eighth annual Mid–Winter Conference on Saturday, March 2. It was well attended with approximately 20
members of Leisure World attending. It was packed full of
information. I am constantly amazed at the quality of the
Kiwanis’ leaders in other clubs (of course ours is the best).
Fred Wilcox gave a very thorough introduction
of the new Web page for our club at the Feb. 15 meeting.
It is still in production and Fred asked the members to
make any suggestions to improve the Web page. Look it
up at kiwanislw.org.
There will be no meeting March 29.
If you have a suggestion for a topic at one of our
meetings, please call Jack Colvis (301-598-5380). You
do not necessarily have to have a particular speaker in
mind but the topic should be of interest to our members.

Catholic Daughters’ Card/Dessert Party
By Ella Bane, Regent
Tickets, $7 per person, are available in the E&R
in Clubhouse I for the Card/Dessert Annual Charity.
Sponsored by the Catholic Daughters of Our Lady of
Grace Church, this even will be held Tuesday, March 19
in Clubhouse I’s Crystal Ballroom.
Payment can be made by check only (no cash),

Please bring your cards and games. All are invited
to come for an afternoon of delicious desserts, lively
conversation and favorite games.
Wit, Whimsy and the Gershwins – Tickets Available!
Through the endless optimism of the 20’s and the
deep depression of the 30’s, George and Ira Gershwin’s
songs captivated America. George’s energetic, colorful
tunes combined with Ira’s breezy wit, set the standard
for popular music of the day. Not only were they icons
themselves, but they were also hugely influential among
their peers on Broadway and in Hollywood.
Singer Julie Kurzava and pianist Diane Kinsley
team up on Monday, March 18 at 1:30 PM in Clubhouse
II to go back to that time, presenting standards and lesser
known songs by George & Ira Gershwin, plus a few from
their friends and contemporaries, including Jerome Kern,
Harold Arlen and Cole Porter. Julie brings her whimsical
style, combined with Gershwin’s breezy wit – a combination that is just “S’wonderful.” This program is a follow
up and inspired by the lecture Julie presented at Leisure
World last November. Tickets for the March 18 program,
$5 per person, are on sale in both clubhouses.
For more details on the presenters, see the front
page of the Feb. 19 issue of this publication.
Conover 5/4; Carl Jacobs 5/9; Elaine Noss 5/10; Fred
Seelman Jr. 5/14; Gertrude Oliner 5/16.
Eileen Lavin and Norma Flaherty mailed their
11th box of Christmas cards to St. Jude’s. Each box represents 1,200 cards. A big thanks has to be given to the
Leisure World community for dropping off their cards at
the FISH Office in Clubhouse II. Make sure you give us
the whole card.
Eileen and Norma are also very involved in Eliminate Project. This is a joint effort with UNICEF and the
International Kiwanis’ to eliminate maternal and neonatal
tetanus. Our goal is to immunize 100 million mothers
and their future babies. Each $1.80 donation pays for the
required vaccine given by thousands of skilled staff. The
effects of this disease are excruciating – tiny newborns
suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.
The Leisure World club continues to grow with
the addition of Connie and Elroy Blake. They have already
become very active and we look forward to their future
involvement in serving the children in our communities
and the world.
The Montgomery Village Kiwanis are sponsoring
a basketball exhibition game on Wednesday, March 20, 7
PM, featuring the Harem Ambassadors at the Montgomery
College-Rockville Campus Gym. Tickets are $10. The
ambassadors feature dazzling ball-handling tricks, high
flying dunks and hilarious family comedy. It is a great
night out for the entire family. Tickets can be purchased
by calling 1-877-904-8902 or at the door. Children love
getting their photos taken with the players and collecting
their autographs.
Our club meets every Friday and the general public
is invited to attend. We meet 12:15 PM in Clubhouse I.
Drop by and see what you are missing. Lunch is optional
and we always have an interesting speaker or entertainment. I guarantee you will be impressed and leave our
meeting with a smile on your face.

Over the years
I have written a number
of articles about printers.
Most of my experience
has been in installing
or replacing printers,
and replacing cartridges.
Replacing a cartridge is
not a problem if you first
practice the procedure
with the old cartridge to
be replaced.
Many years ago,
my first printer was a flat
bed job with perforated
holes along the papers
edge to facilitator rolling. It did the prescribed
job, with a racket as it
cluttered along. Currently, I have an HP DeskJet
4400, which is compact
and complete. It fits
nicely under my desk. My
everyday printer was an
EPSON Stylus NX4000.
After about three years of

faithful printing, a severe
paper jam occurred. The
printer stopped. Sadly,
the printer indicated
more then jammed paper.
Additionally, the papers
were heavily brushed
with black ink. The evident problem: the black
ink cartridge must have
had a leak and spilled ink
all over the right side of
the printer. The printer
was tightly locked. I
could not get the unit
to transport the line of
cartridges so that I could
at least pull out usable
cartridges. I gave up.
Might as well junk the
printer than get myself
spattered with ink.
Should I repair
the printer? Since I was
16 years old, I had made
my own short wave radios by following circuit
diagrams. I repaired my
own radios and TV’s as
needed. In my younger
days, I would have relished the opportunity
to take apart the printer.
Now that is not for me.
Perhaps someone here
in Leisure World would
like to repair the Epson
printer. I will hold the
printer for about one
week after the Leisure
World News comes out.
After that, if no one is
interested in the Epson
printer, I will give it as is
to our condo’s engineer
along with the papers on
repair. He can either attempt to repair the printer
or junk it.
So, I am back
to my old faithful stand
by, my dedicated 4400
HP Printer. As a result of
my experience, I would
only buy cartridges that
are in a metal cases.

– A sure sign of approaching spring - mark your
calendars! Your Spring
Coffee is scheduled for
Thursday, March 28, 10
am in Clubhouse I. Come
learn about our plans for
the 2013 season and greet
old and new friends. All
interested LW ladies are
invited.
Time for Bifurcation? Bifurcation has
been defined as two sets
of golf rules, one for
amateurs and another
set for the PGA/LPGA/
Champions Tour and other professional players.
The issue has suddenly
gained prominence with
the planned emergence
of the anchored putter
rule. Voices have been
raised expressing many
attitudes. Following are
a few of the thoughts to
be found by searching the
Internet for bifurcation of
golf rules.
• There are already two sets of rules for
golf. There is the set of
rules that the Pros play by
every weekend, and there
is a set the average golfer
plays by in his weekly
game. For instance, you
can ride in a cart, or you
slap back your partner’s
2-foot putt, saying “that’s
good.”
• Is it wise for
the USGA and the R&A
to propose a ban on anchored putting styles that
currently may help players enjoy the game more?
• Golfers want
to shoot lower scores, hit
more “good” shots and
enjoy time with friends.
Should the USGA and
the R&A, in the spirit of
enforcing rules…sort of
“take the fun out of it”
for players?
• Ye s , t h e r e
should be two sets of
rules. Every other sport
has them. College football
and basketball have different rules than the pros.
Here are just a few rules
that should be changed
for the everyday golfer.
No out of bounds and
no stroke and distance
for lost ball. This would
speed up play. Tap down
spike marks. Declare divots “ground under repair.”
• The same rules
should be applied during
tournament play. It does
even the field.
The rest of the
time, when playing with
your friends, interpret the
rules to keep up the pace
of play and to have fun!

by Rita Molyneaux
should be no divergence
of the rules between elite
players and everyday
golfers.
• The case for
unification is rooted in
the game’s history. Prior
history of multiple sets of
rules created widespread
confusion and prompted
the need for clarification
and unification. The fact
remains that the game’s
growth, and its globalization, are inextricably
linked to the idea that
golfers of all skill levels
play the same game.
• Not all golfers are created equal.
Two sets of rules might
be a good thing for the
amateur. If you are an
amateur that has aspirations of one day becoming a Pro Golfer, then
you should play strictly
by Professional Rules.
If you are a Recreational
Golfer, then the second
set of rules would apply.
• At a State of
The Industry Forum at
the PGA Merchandise
Show in Orlando last
month, PGA President
Ted Bishop expressed
concern that the anchoring ban could deter people
from playing golf. “As
our mission is to grow
the game, we are asking
the USGA and the R&A
to seriously consider the
impact this proposed ban
may have on people’s
enjoyment of the game
and the overall growth
of the game,” said Bishop. “From a day-to-day
standpoint we are going
to have a segment of the
golfing population that is
basically going to choose
to ignore the rules.”
A quote from Joseph Joubert, a French essayist from the late 1700s,
seems timely to illustrate
the need for difficult issues to be discussed rather
than dismissed. Joubert
said, “It is better to debate
a question without settling
it than to settle a question
without debating it.”

Understanding Physician Aid-In-Dying
By Rosalind Kipping, president
Compassion & Choices will present a program
on Saturday, March 23 at 2 PM in the Clubhouse I. I will
present information about Physician Aid-in-Dying, currently available in Oregon, Washington and Montana.
Oregon has 15 years of experience with their Death
With Dignity Act and the statistics for that period will
be reviewed. At this time eight states are working to
craft laws based upon the Oregon law. It is important
for us to understand how it works and its ramifications. Learn about the national and worldwide debate
on this issue and join the discussion. Attendees will
be invited to discuss whether they want a similar law
to be passed in Maryland.

Writers’ Workshop of Leisure World
By Mary Zenchoff
Our band of
writers met on Thursday,
Feb. 21 to share our work
of the past two weeks.
Our first concern was the
progress of Jean Featherston who has been ill
and will not be returning
to our group for a few
weeks while she recuperates. We all wish her
speedy progress and a
happy reunion when she
once again comes to our
workshop.
Lee Hardy provided us with a beautiful
poem about a day with
her husband, and their
various adventures, or
mis-adventures during
some lovely time together. Lee always manages
to insert humor as well
as tenderness when she
writes about family or
friends. Thanks for sharing!
Ron Davis read a
thoughtful poem dealing
with everyday life with
all its ups and downs, as
well as the concomitant
joys that accompany the
surprises that life gives
us. Ron also contributed
many interesting comments about poetry from
other poets and their relationship to our own
work. Ron’s insights
enliven and enrich our
workshop. Lucky us to
have him!
Jane Hawes give
us a humorous essay on
an adopted cat that she
and her husband bought
years ago that refused
to meow. His method of
communicating was by
imitating a dog, trying
his best to bark. Another
of his idiosyncrasies was
to jump into the bath water as the tub was draining out, and let his tail
go down the drain. At
long last, Puppy began to
meow when Jane adopted a tiny kitten. Kudos to
Puppy...at last!
Norman Ochs
told us an interesting
account of the life of a
training dog. The dog is
trained with a guide dog
and used to help blind
or handicapped persons.
The training dog has six
weeks of work with a
guide dog, during which
time he learns to cross
streets, ride buses and
walk several blocks. The
cost of having a training
dog is $16,000, which
included room, board,
instructions and veterinary care if needed. Norman, thanks for opening
the world of a training
dog to us!
Joe
Fickey
scared us as usual with
the next chapter of his
battle stories during
World War II. He put us
into the world of a tank
fight which after several
anxious moments ended
with death and mayhem
for the German enemy.
In his last chapter, Cliff
thought it would be a little hard to kill the enemy
because he had become
friendly with a POW, but
now he realizes that killing another man remains
difficult. Another cliffhanger, Joe.
Danuta
Montorfano graced us with a
beautiful Valentine poem
where the patches of
snow remind her of the
wedding gown she wore
almost 50 years ago. The
vows of that day kept
her and Carlos together

Comedy and Humor Club by Al Karr (301-598-5077), [email protected]
Comedy and Humor Club President Sam
Hack was scheduled to
resume a new highlight of
our weekly meetings at the
Feb. 26 gathering—another
presentation of television
comedy classics of old.
It is a nice supplement to
our regular fare of standup
jokes and an occasional
more serious, but enjoyable
recitation, or musical rendition, by club members. This
time, Sam gave us a TV
repeat of two Dean Martin
roasts—with Bob Hope and
Ronald Reagan being the
roastees.
Meanwhile, we
are laying plans for a gala
St. Patrick’s Day celebration at our March 19 meeting (next Tuesday), and for
two CAHC-sponsored bus
trips to comedy shows and
dinners in Pennsylvania,
with a price of $85 apiece;
guests are invited. The
first show is Unnecessary
Farce, at the Allenberry
Theater in Boiling Springs
on April 23; the second is
Menopause, at the Dutch
Apple Theater in Lancaster
on Aug. 27. Chief Honcho
for the trips is Leisure
Worlder Faye A. Freedman.
Now, to the main
entrée for our weekly meetings, held every Tuesday
from 1:30 to 3 PM in
Clubhouse II.
Those grabbing
the microphone and joking
loudly in recent meetings
were Amy Boltz, Libby
Ruben, Gloria Horwitz,
Marty Brownstein, Sam,
Betty Lichenstein, Sumner, Fred Fernbach, Dolly
Benoff, Homer Wehr, me
and program chairwoman
Irene Spector.
We led off the Feb.
29 meeting with a rousing
group singing of You Were
Meant for Me (and I was
meant for you…), by Gene
Kelly, from Singin’ in the
Rain. Homer told of the
dog that could type and
use a computer, and when
challenged to show he was
bilingual, replied, “Meow.”
Gloria related a
tale of the time that an engineer was rejected when he
tried to enter heaven, went
down to hell, and soon had
made lots of improvements
there—the air conditioning,
toilets, escalators. God told
Satan that the engineer
belonged in heaven, and
threatened to sue Satan to
accomplish that. Satan just
laughed, saying, “Where
are you going to find a
lawyer up There?”
Sam told the classic—the pig with a wooden
leg, that the farmer called
“special,” because the pig
had helped foil a burglar by
waking up the farmer and
his wife with his oinking,
and saved their lives by
oinking and waking them
up when a fire broke out
in the kitchen. But why the
wooden leg? the farmer was
asked. He replied, “A pig
like that you don’t eat all
at once.”
Sumner: A man
said he was going to divorce his wife, who hadn’t
spoken to him in two years.
His friend said, “Oh, no,
a woman like that is hard
to find.”
Irene: Brain cells
come and go, but fat cells
live forever.
Me: Husband, so
proud of himself, shouts to
his wife when he was ready
to leave a party, “Shall we
go home, mother of six?”
The annoyed wife shouts
back, “Any time you’re
ready, father of four.”
Dolly wound up
the meeting first by singing
the inspirational I Believe
(for every drop of rain that
falls, a flower grows…), a
song introduced by Jane
Froman, reaching #1 on
the Billboard charts in
1953, sung by many, but
best known as the fabulous
Frankie Laine hit. He still
holds the record with the
song as the longest-running
top song in the U.K.
Then Dolly capped
it off by her own nicely sung
song, leading us in Let Me
Call You Sweetheart (I’m
in love with you…).

You Can’t Take It with You

present the Kaufman and

comedy, “You Can’t Take

8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 in the
Blake High School auditorium at 7:30 PM. Blake
High School is located at
300 Norwood Rd., Silver
Spring, 20905.
This classic of
American Theatre begins
at the home of Paul and
Penny Sycamore. At first
the Sycamores seem mad,
but it is not long before you
realize that if they are mad,
then the rest of the world
is madder. In contrast to
these delightful people are
the unhappy Kirbys. Tony,
the attractive young son
of the Kirbys, falls in love
with Alice Sycamore and
brings his parents to dine at
the Sycamore house on the
wrong evening. The shock
sustained by Mr. and Mrs.
Kirby, who are invited to
eat cheap food, shows Alice
that marriage with Tony is
out of the question. The
Sycamores find it hard to
understand Alice’s view.
Tony knows the Sycamores
live the right way with love
and care for each other,
while his own family is the
one that is crazy. In the end,
Mr. Kirby is converted to
the happy madness of the
Sycamores after he happens in during a visit by
the ex-Grand Duchess of
Russia, Olga Katrina, who
is currently earning her
living as a waitress.
Tickets are $10

EDUCATION
NEW – Digital Photography from A to Z, a
CLL class: Digital photography presents many new opportunities for both amateur and infrequent photographer,
as well as the more advanced, to capture breath taking
photos of family, friends, events and travel. This course
will help the photographer understand the capabilities
that digital cameras possess, as well as the new horizons
opened by the computer within the established principles
and practices of traditional photography. The instructor,
Fred Shapiro, is a member of the Rossmoor Camera Club
and has been active in competitions, winning acclaim
for his images. He has been photographing his travels
with wife Madeline and then producing slide shows for
viewings in Leisure World and in the local community.
He has lectured for the Camera Club and conducted
digital workshops. Topics will include: 1.) The Digital
Camera - Selecting a camera that fits your needs and
pocketbook; what you should know before making the
purchase; then understanding how the digital camera offers options that help to ease the computations you have
to make to get good photographs. Discuss the presentation
options you have once you take your photographs - prints,
slide shows, movies? 2.) Concept and Composition What are the components of a good photograph? How
do you approach a scene - still or action - to obtain an
image that is both satisfying to you and has an impact
on whoever looks at the finished product? Participants
will discuss the various components and perspectives that
contribute to composition
once you have decided that
this is a scene you would
want to photograph. This
session will explore travel
and landscape photography
using the concept of composition. 3.) a. Action photography - sports, family
activities, public speakers,
etc. b. People portraits
and other studies of family,
friends or bystanders. c.
Various modes in digital
and what they mean in
practical terms. 4.) Editing for Presentation - you
have taken your pictures
and now you want to shape
and sharpen the composition, improve the exposure,
eliminate unnecessary elements, all before you make
your prints, slide show or
simply project the image in
a photo frame. Participants
will look at the role the
computer plays in making
these changes to take a
good photo and make it a
great photo, or to simply
salvage a picture taken
under duress to improve
the image for presentation.
Students will be asked to
bring in two or three of
their own digital photographs for presentation and
critique, preferably within
the subject matter of the
session. A category will
be announced at the outset
for images to be brought to
the last class. Class meets

Connecting to Our Jewish Roots; an Ace Seminar: While many of us attended Hebrew School in our
youth and observed our Judaism to varying degrees since
then, some may have forgotten, or never fully explored,
Jewish Beliefs, Holiday Observances, and Life Cycle
Events. This class will provide opportunities to review
and discuss the fundamental beliefs and philosophy of
Judaism, the major and minor holidays and life cycle
events and customs. We will discuss these topics from
multiple streams of Jewish Observance – Orthodox,
Conservative and Reform. The class will reinforce our
knowledge and understanding of being Jewish. Instructor

American’s Perspective. He is past president and a current board member of Tikvat Israel Congregation and a

Whether we use an electronic reader or prefer to hold

thoughtful news analysis. The Washington area is blessed
with talented and insightful authors. Six of them will join
us to discuss their writings. Their topics range from the
practical to the promising, from the persuasive to the
heart rending. Join us to listen to each author’s description of the story and the process of their work. Questions

language, culture, calligraphy, classical thought, literature, travel and art, we gain insights and appreciation
into this fascinating and dynamic civilization. When
the course concludes, we will have a special tour to visit
the University of Maryland University College to view
the collections of over 2000 years of art and artifacts.

so state.
5. Check to see if the individual works for a

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.
