FNN MYSTERY WINNER
The FNN Mystery item this week had a very
specific title – it is a “porcelain sprinkling pot” and
no one described it as that. However, there were
some very close guesses so we declared the winner
to be Phyllis Klitzkie, who identified it as a
watering vase for watering flowers. She can stop by
the Rustic Shop and pick up her gift. Some of the
other interesting guesses were water pitcher,
baptismal pitcher, vase, hydrating cherubim vase,
and tea pot.
Stop by the Rustic Shop on Wed. afternoon and
see what the new mystery item is – many thanks to
those who have loaned us mystery items.

MOVIE MATINEE
“MISSION AIR”
Sat., July 11, 2:00 p.m., OPR
Mother and son, Diane and Michael, have just
completed another successful medical mission trip
to Mexico, caring for children and delivering
supplies. Their plane waits on a nearby grass strip to
take them home to Mission Air, their home in TX.
As they arrive at the plane, a group of bandits attack
in an effort to steal the plane. After a struggle with
the bandits, Michael and Diane narrowly escape
with their lives and their plane. But the bandits are
bent on revenge against the Irelands for the loss of
one of their own during the struggle for the plane,
so they kidnap Diane’s daughter, Sophie, to bait the
Irelands to return to Mexico to exact their revenge.
Having no other recourse, Diane and crew risk
everything to save Sophie. Protected by the armor
MESSAGE: “The Main Thing”
TEXT: Psalm 100
SPEAKER: Rev. Bruce Strickland
Sun. a.m. we will be privileged to have Rev. Bruce

TV2 WORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
We are pleased that many of you who are unable to
join us in the sanctuary on Sun. mornings are
continuing to worship with us through our live
broadcast on TV2. In the summer months we are
broadcasting with fewer volunteers because so
many are on vacation and attending camps, etc.
Most of the crew who bring the service to you each
week are devoted teenagers, who are gifted in this
ministry and faithful with their time. You will
notice that our broadcast has simplified in the
summer months, but we continue to do our best. In
the fall we’ll have all hands-on-deck and will be
able to deliver a higher quality broadcast to you. If
you watch the worship broadcast regularly and
would like to have a worship guide delivered to you
prior to the service, please call Susan Darby at The
Village Church (658-5344) and we will make those
arrangements. Thank you for joining us.

Emergency Preparedness. Mrs. Thomas is the

Hurricane Season. This session is appropriate for
all members, as we each have personal

for this and other types of emergencies.

interesting things that are associated with Suwannee
County, including our own Dowling Park area
history. As a follow-up to this presentation, we will
have a bus tour of Suwannee County on Mon., Aug.

Reporter, Cheryl Gilroy
Happy birthday wishes go to Doug Mabey on July
3, Elvin Doane on July 4, Arlene Williamson on
July 5, and Gail Morse on July 6.
Congratulations to Micah Hilliard, who
competed in the 2015 Amateur Athletic Union
(AAU) Regional Qualifier at Mike Long Track at
FSU this past week, running three different races in
as many days. Hoping to place in the top six to
advance to the Junior Olympics in Norfolk, VA,
Micah ran in the Boys 15-16 classification in the
3000 Meter Run, the 1500 Meter Run and the 800
Meter Run. Micah placed second in the 3000M and
800M, and won gold in a heat of 11 competitors to
become the AAU Region 9 1500M Champion.
AAU Region 9 includes the entire state of FL, north
of Miami Dade County. The AAU Junior Olympic
games will be held at Norfolk State University, July
31 – Aug. 7. The exact schedule for Micah’s
specific events has not been finalized.
Jim and Cheryl Gilroy enjoyed an anniversary
visit to the Tampa-St. Pete area this past weekend.
The trip included Busch Gardens (very hot with
mid-afternoon heavy thunderstorms), a visit with
friends, Kim Rawls and Penny Pennington (supper
at a Japanese Steakhouse), and two Red Sox vs.
Rays baseball games (Rays won Sat., Red Sox won
Sun.). It was a fun, but tiring trip.
VOLUNTEER SERVICES
Eleanore Catarious – 658-5251
P.O. Box 4304
May has come to an end which means that it is time
to gather those volunteer hours together and submit
them on a blue Monthly Volunteer Hours Report for
tallying. Many, many thanks and appreciation to all
who have been reporting their hours to me. Onward
and upward to July (less than 6 months until
Christmas - I'm almost finished shopping!)
Independence Day is approaching, so don't put
your flags or patriotic spirit away just yet. As we
look forward to the 4th of July, let us celebrate our
God-given freedom and independence. Some will
celebrate with colorful parades, mouth-watering
picnics, get-togethers and fantastic fireworks. They
were times not to be forgotten. The Declaration of
Independence, as you all know, was signed on July
4, 1776, and adopted by the Second Continental
Congress. Let us not forget the men who penned it,
in addition to Betsy Ross, who is credited with
sewing the first flag representing 13 colonies. Once
again, it's time to fly the Red, White and Blue
proudly and let Freedom Ring!
It is my delight to announce the names of
members
who
have
joined
the
“Volunteer Family.” Phyllis Mastro, of CH, has
decided on Twice Nice Shop and Riverside Gifts,
while Eunice Smith has agreed to put her expertise
to use in cutting and sewing items for the various
dining rooms. Carol Overdahl, of RW, will be
covering the CMC desk on Mondays, and Carol and
her husband, Norris, will be meeting and greeting
residents and guests at GSC on Fridays. Mary Lou
Dasher, of CH, has assumed the duties and mail at
CCC on Sat. mornings in addition to covering the
desk on Sun. mornings. A BIG thank you to our
newest volunteers for your new role here in ACV.
Just a reminder that all Monthly Volunteer
Hours Reports are due in my office on Mon., July
13. Blank forms are available on the corner table in
the IC and at most volunteer areas.

Josephine Hueston’s (WG) youngest son Keith and
Nita Whitaker; their son Jeremy; daughter, Amy,
and her fiancé, Nate Laukka, from NC, came to

Baptist Church. Jim Whitaker, Josephine’s son, is
pastor there. Everyone enjoyed the CCC, dinner,
and an all-day visit to Valdosta. They also saw the
movie Spy, which was wonderful. Keith and Nita
will be back in Jan.
We have some birthdays coming up in July:
Linda Martin on July 2, Phyllis Mastro on July 3,
Eileen Oswald on July 4, and Gladys Cuillerier on
July 9. Happy birthday to you. May you all have a
blessed day.

Grandpa promised to attend. Sign-up at the CH
desk. If you don’t cook, $6 before July 3; $7 after.
Prizes and entertainment
If you have an item that you would like in the
FNN, there is a box on the counter of the front desk
of CH. Or you can call me at 249-5774.

On Mon. evening, as we were sitting down to
supper, the doorbell rang and it was Brenda Story
bringing our dessert! Pear pie, no less! It tasted
similar to apple pie and boy was it yummy! Maybe
if you talk nice to Brenda she’ll let you pick “a
pear” when they come around and sample some for
yourself.
This is another big birthday month in POP.
Donna Gibbs is our little firecracker on the 4th of
July. Then on July 10 Kathy Bochow, our budding

have you seen her art work up at the Lopin’ Gopher
Deli? For someone who started only two years ago
she’s really come along fast!
On July 27, Judy Willard celebrates her
birthday and Pat Powell will celebrate hers on July
30. On July 31 we have a two-for-one as both
Audrey Bezanson and Bill Leithead celebrate their
special days. Hope this year finds you all in good
health and brings some special event into your life.
This year Live Oak is featuring a fireworks
display. We are looking forward to it. As we
celebrate the 4th this year, we need to pray fervently
for our country. I am very grateful to have been
born in the USA. Keep praying!
Enjoy the holiday, fly your flag, and eat those
hot dogs and apple pie! Keep me posted at

Holly Fabian reports that her husband, Robert
Fabian, continues to improve at Specialty Rehab in
Gainesville. She appreciates all the opportunities
she has to go see him. Contact her if you can be of
help to her in that regard. Thank you.
Remember one another in prayer. Prayer
changes each of us and our outlook on the
circumstances we face. Praise the Lord!

Welcome Pastor Bobby and Valeria Ur to DPN,
where they live next door to the “Grillo Pad.”
Bobby pastors Rosemary Baptist Church and is
Administrator/Principle of the Lighthouse Christian
Academy in Mayo. They are both Floridians;
Bobbie from Bonita Springs and Valeria born and
raised in Live Oak. Their two sons were born in
Spain, were they lived while Bobby was serving in
the Navy. They later lived in Bonita Springs, then
Jacksonville, FL, where they served as house
parents at the Florida Baptist Children’s Home.
Bobby and Valeria moved to the Live Oak area
about three years ago and to this home in May. The
Urs’ son Zacharias, who is in the Navy, lives with
his wife, Noemy, and their two-week-old daughter,
Madeline, in Norfolk VA. Taran, their younger son,
is attending college in Lima, OH and will soon be
moving to FL. Valeria enjoyed having Noemy with
them while Zacharias was serving overseas until
two weeks before Madeline was born in Tallahassee
on June 12. A delightful member of their household
is Mo. This beautiful dog is a white Lassatu. He is
very friendly and would enjoy your visit.
Gayle Jones flew to St. Louis, MO on Mon. to
be with her brother, Hal Kennedy, and his wife,
Amy. Amy will be convalescing from surgery
required after fracturing her ankle in two places.
Gayle will be away until July 8. Bill will be
“batching it.”
Please call Bill if you have any news for next
week’s FNN, 386-1418.
RIVERVIEW APARTMENTS
Jean Templeton, Reporter
Having given much attention to “Old Glory”, it
seemed fair to talk about the flags of Canada. Our
neighbors, Mary Smith and Mary Vos have ties to
Canada. The Smiths were born and raised in
Saskatchewan, and the Vos were born and had
children in Holland before moving to Alberta. Both
men eventually came to the USA to work for Ford
Motor Co. In school, Mary Smith remembers
making the Union Jack Flag from red, white, and
blue strips of tissue paper and reciting the pledge
“I’m proud of Canada! Is Canada proud of me?
What she wants are citizens loyal as can be. I love
my land, and Britain’s Flag that waves from sea to
sea. O, I am proud of Home and Motherland and
I’ll make them proud of me.” In 1965 the red and
white maple leaf flag became “The National Flag of
Canada.” This flag shows an 11 pointed maple leaf
on a white background, with red borders down each
side. The flag is twice as long as it is wide; the
white square with the maple leaf is the same width
as the flag. The 11 points of the maple leaf have no
special significance. Many of us have heard their
National Anthem, “Oh, Canada” sung with great
gusto during the Olympics. We should be proud to
have Canada as our neighbor.

When you receive your FNN this week, we will be
halfway through 2015. Amazing how quickly time
goes by.
On Mon., while we were in Gainesville, it was
raining and we spoke to a couple from CA and
asked the man what he thought of our weather. He
laughed and said he hadn’t seen rain in a long time,
but it was said with a few spicier words! Their
continued dry spell for the future is definitely not a
happy thought.
RIVER WOODS
Carol Kemp reports that the Ladies of Live Oak
Lane were treated to a wonderful tea on Sat. a.m. at
the CCC Activity Room. The purpose of the
gathering was to meet and greet the new residents
who had moved to Live Oak Lane within the past
7
year. Sixteen residents were in attendance, with six
of them being newcomers. The event was catered
by Donna Thornton, who gave us a brief history of
tea and presented us with a scrumptious menu.
What a delightful way of getting to know your
neighbors!
Cathy Mellinger reports that Bill Bridge
celebrated his 95th birthday with Elmwood and
Hickory Lane neighbors at Ted and Dodie Jones’
home on Sat. Rose Rhodes also joined the group.
All enjoyed the good food, good cakes, and meeting
the Jones’ summer visitor. Thanks to Ed Oliva for
the humorous one-liners. We wish Bill (and
Barbara) a blessed year!
Also a BIG thank you to everyone who helped
the injured Swallow-Tailed Kite. Ted and Dodie
had a busy day. For more details, see article on
page 9.
joined the family. The family was Lutheran while
she was growing up.
Alan went to school through the 11th grade,
then earned his GED. He was in the service during
WWII from July 6, 1942 until Oct. 31, 1945. He
served under George Patton at the Battle of the
Bulge. After that, he owned a stove and furnace
company and installed heating and air conditioning.
His recreational interests included hunting and
fishing. He had a construction business just before
moving to FL, many years ago. His sons still
operate the business.
Margaret’s education included 12 years of
school plus one year in cosmetology. Her interests
are animals and flowers. She was a homemaker.
Alan and Margaret each have children from
previous marriages. Alan had six children, Vernon
(now deceased), Sharon, John, Louise, Rebecca and
Timothy, six grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. Margaret has five children, Dawn,
Christopher, John, Brigitte and Elizabeth. (“Each
one a favorite,” she says.) She has eight
grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Alan and Margaret moved to FL in 1975. They
first lived in Stark, FL and had a large space at the
Waldo Flea Market, which they kept for about three
and a half years. After that they operated a Thrift
Store in Lake City. From there, they moved to Fort
Pierce, where they lived until their move to ACV.
One of their daughters bought property in Madison
and became aware of the Village through the
internet. Alan said he was just out of rehab from a
hip replacement complicated by pneumonia and
shingles. He said he “left the planning for his future
living arrangement to others.”
Margaret’s family members were Biblebelieving Christians, affiliated with the Lutheran
Church when she was growing up. She came to
know the Lord personally through Bible reading,
study, and fellowship with Christian friends. She
remains close to the Lord and encourages her
children and grandchildren to stay close to Him
also. Alan was a minister with the International
Ministerial Association. He is interested in Bible
studies.
They have been very busy getting settled. They
first moved into an efficiency apartment in DH until
a one-bedroom apartment became available. This
happened soon after they moved. Their daughter,
Brigitte, was a blessing to them during this time, for
which they thank the Lord.
Margaret and Alan are very personable.
Although Alan is blind and doesn’t hear well, he
loves to visit and he has a friendly sense of humor.
When you make their acquaintance, you will be
glad you did.
SPECIAL FEATURES
LADY LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty monument, which has become
known as “Lady Liberty” was a gift from France in
1886; and what a beautiful work of art. The statue
is a female figure standing upright dressed in a robe.
On her head is a crown with seven rays that form a
halo. She is holding a tablet of the law close to her
body in the left hand and a flaming torch high in her
right hand. The tablet has the letters “JULY IV MD
CCLXXVI,” to commemorate the date of the
Declaration of Independence. The torch is a symbol
of enlightenment, and the tablet symbolizes
knowledge.
The broken chain at her feet
symbolizes defying persecution. The statue is 151
feet tall with the pedestal and foundation adding
another 154 feet.
The statue was given by the people of France to
the people of the U.S. as a symbol of freedom and
democracy. The statue was dedicated on October
28, 1886, and declared as a national monument in
1924. The statue symbolizes freedom to the nearly
12 million immigrants who have passed through the
Ellis Island neighborhood.
The Statue of Liberty has become the most
successful public and private partnership in
American history. The statue is under very close
and tight security. If you plan to visit the Statue of
Liberty, plan for time to get through the tight
security routine.

What is Myth-Information? Myth-Information is a
widely held and/or promoted, but false, piece of
information.
MYTH: Genes play the most significant role
in longevity.
FACT: Lifestyle choices, particularly diet,
exercise, and smoking habits, have a stronger
influence on lifespan than genetics. Family history
can indicate a higher probability of being diagnosed
with a chronic disease, like heart disease or cancer,
but predisposition does not guarantee that an
individual will develop the disease. In fact, healthy
lifestyle choices can outweigh inherited risk.
According to an article in Science Daily,
“Those who did not smoke, consumed moderate
amounts of coffee, and had a good socio-economic
status at the age of 50 (measured in terms of
housing costs), as well as good physical working
capacity at the age of 54 and low cholesterol at 50
had the greatest chance of celebrating their 90th
birthday.”

We would like to thank the Village staff for
responding to our call to save an injured Swallowtailed Kite on Sat. afternoon. We thought at first
that it was a rare Grey Falcon. Thanks to Raymond
Hinton and Ryan Newham for staying until it was
taken to an Animal Emergency Hospital in
Newberry about an hour or so from Dowling Park!
Thank you Paul Cook for carefully covering the
bird with a net and cloth. Thanks also to Otto
Hunerwadel and Linda Flosenzeir who lovingly
took the bird to the shelter. Sadly, the bird had been
shot and a wing was injured and the Vet wasn`t sure
that it would fly again. We are sure that it was
grateful for being saved. It is a beautiful bird!

rescued Swallow-tailed Kite, stop by Member

of birds sighted at ACV.
