Captain John Feissner, of Fire Station 8 in Sandy Spring, checks a smoke detector at a home in Mutual 5 on Saturday as part of a community outreach
initiative. By January 2018, he said, smoke alarms in homes should transition away from those powered with 9-volt batteries to devices containing a
long-life lithium ion battery. Photo by Leisure World News
n Mutual 13 last weekend,
firefighters from the
Montgomery County Fire
and Rescue Service (MCFRS)
quickly finalized plans,
organized their equipment and
approached the front door of a
residence.
But they were not covered
in heavy firefighting gear, nor
were they pulling hoses that
snaked back to hook-and-ladder engines as smoke billowed
from the home’s windows, as
they had when responding to
fires that consumed a residence
in April and a garage in February this year.
This time was pleasantly different. As part of a “Community
Risk Reduction Weekend” ini-
tiative on May 14 and 15, firefighters fanned out through
several mutuals in the southeast and northwest areas of
Leisure World to check smoke
alarms, install them if needed,
and provide fire safety information and education.
The Numbers
On Saturday morning alone,
Lt. Dave Clinesmith and Don
Pruett, a resident who has volunteered at Fire Station 8 in
Gaithersburg for 25 years,
teamed up and installed more
than 20 smoke alarms in Mutual 8. Three units they visited had no smoke detectors, and
while others had working detectors, they were old ones that
needed to be replaced. Some

MedStar Medical Center,
it happens about 500
times a week from Monday
through Friday: pharmacists
peer at doctors’ prescriptions;
cross-check them for potential
interactions with patients’
allergies or other medicines;
measure doses, count out pills
or gather supplies; and get
them to the patients who need
them. In 2015, the pharmacy
processed 25,801 prescriptions.
At times patients come for
vaccines, and each day several
prescriptions may be delivered
from the pharmacy right to Leisure World residents’ homes.

❒ Security and Transportation Advisory Committee
Suggestions for Rules on Oxygen and Smoking
by Paul Eisenhaur
M
any of us recognize
the danger and
carelessness of
smoking in the presence of
an oxygen tank and want to
prevent this practice in our
community. We can take steps
toward that goal, but solutions
are not simple and must be
carefully implemented. The
question of who should do what
is not black and white, and it’s
important to keep in mind the
parameters of governance as we
seek answers.
Trust Governance
The Leisure World Trust has
no governing authority over
any Mutual. Mutuals were incorporated as private property. The Trust cannot affect any
change in personal residences, all of which are on Mutual
property.
Smoking on Trust grounds
can be affected by the Trust.
However, it has no bearing on a
personal residence. And Montgomery County Law prohibits
smoking in the Trust buildings
(Clubhouse I, Clubhouse II, Administration building, Physical
Properties building) already.
Security has not received any
complaints about smoking on
Trust property. Certainly no in-
cidents of smoking around oxygen tanks have been reported
on Trust grounds.
Any effort to affect smoking on Trust property simply
would not address the issue of
smoking in homes with oxygen
tanks.
Mutual Governance
Mutuals can make their own
rules and have bylaws
governing their residents. A Mutual can pass
a bylaw only
with approval
from at least
two-thirds
of its owners. But no
rule or bylaw
can supersede
local, state or federal law. In common
public areas, the Mutual
has much latitude and can easily monitor the rules it makes. But
because of privacy laws, it has little ability to affect people’s behavior within their own residences.
What Can Be Done
This is certainly not to say
that nothing can be done about
this issue. But it must be done
at the Mutual level. Rules
against smoking near an oxygen supply can certainly be
L
L
I
H
N
E

S
A
EXXON
a reasonable deterrent to this
kind of dangerous behavior.
Making rules is the very least
and possibly the most a Mutual
can do, because a rule is effective only if it can be enforced.
Even then, it’s hard to prevent
rules from being broken all the
time, everywhere. For example,
speed limit signs certainly do
not stop all speeding, and not
everyone gets caught.
That said, Mutuals have a fiduciary responsibility to their
residents to
make rules
that can deter
and, ideally, stop the
very dangerous practice of
smoking in the
presence of an oxygen tank. And each Mutual must consider possible enforcement that does not violate
existing privacy laws.
Only the Mutual can govern itself. An advisory committee to the
Leisure World governing body
can only offer suggestions to a
Mutual with the safety interests of
the entire community in mind:
1. R
esidents using oxygen
should register with LW Security and the Mutual. If Security or emergency personnel
have to enter a home, it may
be vital for them to be aware
of the presence of oxygen.
2. A
t settlement, a new resident
should sign a document agreeing not to smoke in the presence of oxygen. The unit owner
should be held to this agreement if there is a rental tenant.
3. I f neighboring residents reasonably sense a violation of
rule #2, a Mutual “nuisance
rule” should give them a process to register a complaint
against this behavior. Only
board members should have
the authority to investigate
or contact the allegedly abusing resident.
4. A Mutual should levy fines
once it is verified that rule
#2 was broken. The Mutual board may want to consider individual circumstances
of each event to determine
the amount of the fines. But
the written rule may want to
state the minimum and maximum fine amounts.
Simply put, each Mutual
should make rules that can address this very serious issue.
It is imperative that
multi-family dwelling units address this issue as soon as possible, especially in the wake of
extensive damage in high-rise
buildings in Leisure World in
the last few years.

t took me a while to become a professional artist, and
I never regret taking that road. In fact, this year I’m
celebrating over 50 years of creating beautiful pictures.
Early on I never focused on fine art courses, although I
kind of knew that talent was in me. In college my training was
aimed at my becoming a commercial artist. Like many, I didn’t
start out in my field and entered the real estate world at age
25. My mom sparked a change when she gave me a watercolor
set when I was 27. Well, the creative floodgates opened and my
art was being noticed and began to sell. I also discovered that
I was being paid much faster than [when I was in] real estate
and without the paperwork hassles.
A few years ago I came to Leisure World with my dad, who
has since turned 102. I’ve found an excellent home base here
and enjoy the art environment and other activities.
Creating art springs from many life experiences. I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to create, study, travel and conduct workshops with others. My work is currently on display at
the Apollo Restaurant on Washington Street in Rockville.
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.
Stop for Hot Coffee Led
to a Chilling Encounter
by Leisure World Staff
A
manhunt during a series
of shootings across the
county on Friday, May 6,
that left three people dead and
three more wounded, ended a
mile and half away from Leisure
World. Not until afterwards
did resident Shirley Henderson
become aware of her chance
encounter with events that day.
Across the street from the
Aspen Hill Shopping Center
parking lot where prosecutors
say the alleged gunman killed
his final victim, police three
hours later rammed the suspect’s car, surrounded him and
arrested him. Police later said
they had tracked the suspect as
he calmly visited different shops
in the Northgate Plaza before returning to his parked car there.
Henderson was unaware of
the goings on as she shopped at
Northgate Plaza that afternoon.
After picking up some items at
the Rite Aid store, she decided
to have a coffee at the Dunkin’
Donuts next door.
A couple of men were there,

great stories” from the patients.
Dr. Narcisse recalls, for example, her Creole-speaking grandmother’s descriptions of growing up on a farm in Louisiana,
or their visits to the cemetery
to decorate graves on All Souls’
Day.
Dr. Narcisse graduated from
Xavier University in New Orleans in 2009 with her doctor
of pharmacy degree. During
her university training and
after graduating, she worked
for Walgreens there. Soon
after, she moved to San Antonio, Tex., where she worked
at a Walgreens pharmacy for
five years before heading to
Maryland.
The pharmacy at the Medical
Center has a busy workflow, but
it allows for time with patients
that she didn’t used to have in
San Antonio, where she might
sometimes process a thousand
prescriptions per week. “You

Stopping at the rest room before leaving, she knocked on its
closed door, and a voice from
the other side answered that
he’d be out in a minute. When
the man opened the door, “he
gave me a big smile,” Henderson said. “It was almost like I’d
made a friend.”
Later that afternoon, Henderson turned on her television
at home and caught a live news
report about the shootings and
manhunt. She gasped and started shaking.
“The first image I saw was
the man I’d seen coming out of
the bathroom at Dunkin’ Donuts,” she said. The picture on
her TV screen was of Eulalio
Tordil, the shooting suspect.
News video also showed Tordil being led to a police vehicle.
That’s when she also recognized
an arresting officer–one of the
scruffy-looking men she’d also
seen inside the shop.
Realizing her close encounter with a homicide suspect and
a tense police operation rattled
Henderson, but she has put the
episode behind her.
“I have moved on,” she said.
can counsel, but it’s a revolving
door,” she said.
Now, it’s not unusual for her
to invite a patient to watch a
video demonstration of how to
use a new inhaler, for example. “Here, you can see how patients progress, too,” she added.
That’s one of the more difficult
things pharmacists try to do,
she said.
During the school year, she
also trains several University of
Maryland pharmacy students
who spend five-week rotations
at pharmacies after their fifth
year of school work.
Outside of the pharmacy, it’s
not unusual to see Dr. Narcisse
at lakes around Montgomery
and Howard counties, fishing
as she used to with her father
growing up—“it’s been years,”
she said.
After getting “all the (non-title) fishing licenses” she needed, she has visited Wilde Lake
nd the Tridelphia Reservoir,
but “my goal is to experience all
of them,” she said.

Episode 9
A Vision for Leisure World:
Heading North
by David Kipping
A
s related in a
previous episode,
the area north of
Clubhouse I and
close to the current Norbeck
gate was rezoned to eliminate
age restriction when Ross
Cortese ran into major
financial problems in 1968.
By January 1973, things
were going very well for
the Rossmoor Corporation,
and as a result Rossmoor
received approval from the
Maryland-National Park and
Planning Commission to
rezone that parcel as an agerestricted Planned Retirement
Community, thus returning
to the original vision for the
community.
Early in 1973 the Rossmoor
Corporation presented a new
site plan that included Mutuals 16 and 18. Also included were plans for the relocation of golf course holes 2, 3
In anticipation of Leisure World’s 50th anniversary
celebration, Leisure World resident David Kipping
researched and wrote a riveting story of the
founding of Leisure World of Maryland. This historic
account will be published in 13 “episodes,” once a
month through September 2016.
and 4 to allow construction of
the first high-rise (now Mutuals 17A and 17B). Mutual 13,
near the commercial center
facing Georgia Avenue, was in
the planning stage, and construction on Mutuals 11 and
12 was underway. In mid1973, Mutual 11 was completed; in November 1973, Mutual 12 move-ins started and in
September 1974, move-ins to
Mutual 13 began.
Mutual 14 featured a new
style of three-story buildings
with elevators and detached
carports. After some test bor-
ings were made, it was determined that the soil at the site
was not suitable for the type
of buildings being planned.
A major earth moving operation first removed the unsuitable soil from the site and then
brought in soil from the undeveloped eastern end of Leisure World. By mid-1973 the
ground at the site had been
built up by as much as 10 feet,
and huge machines tamped the
soil down.
Construction plans for Mutual 14 were ready in early 1974,
and many Mutual 14 residences
were sold on opening day. But
construction was delayed due
to sewer connection problems.
What seemed to be a short
delay dragged on, and in October 1974 refund checks for deposits were mailed to 480 buyers with a letter stating that no
prediction could be made as to
when construction would start.
With Mutual 13 completed and
Mutual 14 stalled, all construction at Leisure World ceased.
It took another year to resolve
the sewer connection problems,
and ground was broken on
Mutual 14 in November 1975;
move-ins began on November
16, 1976.
This series about the history of Leisure World is based on
an account of the community’s early years published four
decades ago by resident C. Bill
Courtright. Courtright ends his
narrative in November 1976.
He observed that construction
of Mutuals 15, 16 and 18 were
“well along” at that time. It is
More than 600 units in five Mutuals were developed through the 1970s in the
northwestern area of Leisure World property.
likely that move-ins occurred in
1977.
Construction of Mutual 17
(a high-rise) was not in the
Rossmoor Corporation plans
then. Courtright observed
that with the opening of Mutual 18 (sometime in 1977 or
early 1978), Ross Cortese’s vision of the community would
be completed with a total of
2,143 units. Although Mutuals 18 and 16 were occupied
by 1978, an entrance to Leisure World from Norbeck
Road was not opened until
January 1980.
But the residents were
looking toward the future. In
February 1972, the Community Council appointed a Long
Range Planning Committee to

study the need for additional community facilities. They
reported their recommendations in October 1972:
• Study what to do with the
Rossmoor Corporation Administration building after
it is acquired. It was turned
over to Leisure World in
May 1979 and was renovated to serve as the current
Leisure World Administration building.
• Decide where a permanent
health center should be located. At the time it was operating out of one of the
model homes.
• Determine the kind of security needed for an ultimate
population of 7,000 people.
• Alter Clubhouse I to provide
a larger Fireside Lounge
and more dining space.
• Construct an auditorium
at the location of the Clubhouse I outdoor swimming
pool and relocate the pool
complex nearby.
That never happened, but
an auditorium was eventually
constructed in 1988 as part of
Clubhouse II.
• Construct a special services
building “for persons who
are mentally and physically
able to care for themselves
when provided with living aids which assure safety, comfort, convenience,
and well-being.” This facility would be built near
the commercial center and
would become “Mutual 23.”
This did happen, but not
quite as envisioned. The facility is called Bedford Court
and is not part of Leisure
World; Cortese sold the land
to the Bedford Court developers. The Mutual 23 designation was eventually reassigned to Vantage Point West.
As we now know, 13 more
Mutuals eventually were built
to complete Leisure World.
Nine of the Mutuals are
high-rises, and many consist
of multiple buildings. Both
the Catholic Church (in about
1991) and the Inter-Faith
Chapel were constructed on
land the Rossmoor Corporation provided. But Courtright’s crystal ball was cloudy,
and he never told us anything
about this.

Be a ‘Roll Model’ and Observe Bicycle Safety Rules
by Herman Cohen
A
s the weather improves, it’s
time to dust off that bicycle
in the storage bin or in
the garage bike rack. Following
the rules and having the right
equipment can make bicycling
safe and enjoyable. Automobile
drivers may start to see more
bicycles on the road. Here are a
few simple tips that can make the
roads safer for everyone.
1. B
ike riders have the same
legal responsibilities as automobile drivers, including
obeying traffic lights, stop
signs and other rules such
as “No Turns” or “Do Not
Enter.” Bicycles also have to
yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Hand signals are required when turning or stopping. And despite the temptation to ride against the flow
of traffic, DON’T. The law requires bicycle riders to follow
the flow of traffic.
2. B
icycles have the legal right
to use an entire lane, and
A bicyclist coasts down Leisure World Boulevard South approaching Glen
Eagles Drive. Photo by Leisure World News
Leisure World Boulevard,
for example, does not allow
passing. Drivers who find
themselves behind a cyclist
should be patient. Bicycles
have as much right to the
road as automobiles.
3. C
yclists should be especially cautious when passing
parked cars; a driver exiting
the car may not see a bicycle
coming and open the door directly in the bicyclist’s path.
Drivers should use mirrors or
turn around to look for oncoming traffic when they exit
a vehicle.
4. A cyclist should always wear
a helmet. Properly designed
and tested helmets carry a
certification sticker from the

Kensington and Station 40 in
Sandy Spring who particpated in the outreach at Leisure
World over the weekend. On
Saturday, 15 had visited homes
before heavy rain and emergency calls ended the day’s efforts,
and on Sunday 20 firefighters
came to Leisure World to resume house calls.
By the end of the weekend,
MCFRS had installed 98 smoke
alarms, installed 11 batteries,
and left 159 information cards
hanging on doorknobs when no
one came to the front door.
MCFRS found that of the 205
homes they were invited into,
40 percent needed the new
alarms and batteries.
Part of the risk reduction,
said Jim Resnick, the manager for MCFRS senior outreach
and education who organized
the weekend program at Leisure World, is simply to climb

and balance on the stepladders
to test the devices so that residents wouldn’t have to do so.
Continuing Education
In Mutual 5 on Saturday
morning, Capt. John Feissner,
from Engine Company No. 4 in
Sandy Spring, found a higher
rate of compliance with smoke
alarms he checked.
“You’re good for a while,” he
told one resident after pushing the test button on a device,
which released three piercing beeps, and he flipping it
around to check the “born on”
date to make sure it was not
older than ten years. The ones
he saw mostly passed those
quick checks, but he continually made note of other safety
concerns.
“As a paramedic in the county, I really appreciate that you
have this,” he told several residents who had small “File of
Life” folders on their refrigerators. Feissner helped make a
few updates on medical conditions and allergies before returning the paperwork to the
folder.
He hung an information
ty Commission. Look for this
sticker inside the helmet.
Although bike helmets frequently show up in garage
sales or at Goodwill, beware.
Helmets are designed to give
protection in an accident one
time only. If a helmet has
been in an accident, the safety features will have been
compromised. Always buy a
new one.
5. Bicyclists should keep their
heads up and look ahead, not
at the ground. Anticipating
gives riders time to react and
maneuver if they need to. If
a bicycle doesn’t have a rear
view mirror, riders can consider a helmet mirror to keep
an eye on what is behind
them.
6. For cycling after dark, reflectors and a headlight are a
must.

have fun–and give themselves a pat on the back
for being environmentally
friendly.
card on one home’s front door,
below a handwritten sign the
resident had left indicating
the home’s smoke alarms were
working and no visit inside was
necessary. Before heading to
the next unit, Feissner noticed
the drying machine vent, nearly blocked with lint, just out of
reach on the side of the home.
His knocks were unanswered.
Leaving each garden apartment, he checked that the units’
front doors closed and clicked
on their own. This is a key safety feature, he explained. In the
event of a fire inside a unit, its
closed door prevents superheated smoke and gasses from
escaping into the common
stairwell, creating danger for
other residents or firefighters.
He also clarified differences in smoke alarms for some
residents, even when theirs
were functioning with 9-volt
batteries.
“It’s all in the wording,” he
said, pointing to the boxes containing his supply of new smoke
alarms. “You have to dissect
the language to make sure its
clear that the power source
lasts up to 10 years, not just the
detector.”

Remembering
Memorial Day
I recently came across an interesting, but unsigned article
on the origin of Memorial Day.
It indicated that the commemo-

ration “emerged out of the grim
shadows of the American Civil
War,” and that, even before the
end of that war, women were
decorating the graves of the
fallen soldiers with flowers.
This idea spread, and in
1868, May 30 became known
as Decoration Day, a traditional day for decorating soldiers’
graves. Eventually, the name
was changed to Memorial Day
and applied to all fallen men
and women from all wars. In
1968, Congress passed a law to
make Memorial Day a national
holiday, which is now observed
on the last Monday in May.
I remember in the small Midwestern town where I was born,
my father and family would go
to the local cemetery on Memorial Day. There they would
place flowers on our relatives’

graves, including the one who
fought in the Civil War. When
they were finished, we would
go to the park in the town center and join our neighbors for a
patriotic speech by the mayor,
followed by band music and a
picnic.
I remember touring Gettysburg National Cemetery,
seeing all the graves of Civil
War troops and being moved
by thoughts of their ultimate
sacrifice.
I remember the times at Arlington National Cemetery,
where I’ve followed a horsedrawn caisson carrying the casket of a veteran friend to the
gravesite. The burial service is
quite formal and brief. A bugler
plays Taps, the honor guard
fires a salute, and the American flag that covered the casket is then folded with care
and presented to the family—a
very emotional moment for all
present.
I remember attending other
types of ceremonies in other locations where the ashes of the
fallen heroes were spread in a
river or at the base of a tree.
I remember in World War
II, when our troop ship entered
Pearl Harbor and only the mast
and part of the superstructure
of the sunken battleship USS
Arizona could be seen. She became the underwater tomb of
more than 1,100 trapped military personnel.
This Memorial Day, let’s
remember to pause and say
“Thank You” to all the service
men and women who made the
ultimate sacrifice in their effort
to preserve our freedom.

the train pulls into a station,
the first woman asks, “Is this

“No, it’s Thursday.” Then the

is to lend donated assistive
equipment to employees and
residents of Leisure World.
We also can help you search

Because we don’t charge,
FISH is a great place to go to
try out equipment before you
buy. You may not really know
how a walker will work for you
until you try using it for a while.
Then, when you know what you
do or do not like, you can use
your Medicare, with a doctor’s
prescription, to buy equipment.
FISH is also happy to serve as
a home for collection boxes. The

every now and then, a “regular,”

example, the first Monday morning of the month) becomes available. A FISH session is for three
hours, either 10 a.m.-1 p.m. or
1-4 p.m. Many of our volunteers
agree to a repeating session, but
almost every month, someone
cannot come in as scheduled.
That is when I go to my list of

Clubs, Groups & ORGANIZATIONS
n Book Club Network
Happy Birthday to the Book Club Network
T
he Book Club Network is
three years old!
Three clubs were
formed at our organizational meeting in May 2013. Now
there are nine small book clubs
that are part of the network:
five general interest clubs (Diversity Strong, Searchers, Rose
Readers, Bookies and Fall
Readers), two topical clubs
(The African Heritage Club and
Famous Women) and two mys-
tery clubs (The Suspensers and
Sleuths).
New clubs are formed on
an ongoing basis. Prospective
members are put on a waiting
list. When at least four people
express an interest in joining
a new club, an organizational
meeting is scheduled to form an
additional club.
The Book Club Network is a
collection of book discussion
groups, small in size—eight to 12
members per group—with the
purpose of providing a forum
for Leisure World residents to
get together with other avid
readers to read and discuss their
favorite books. Members meet
each month to talk about a specific work chosen by their club.
In addition to creating an atmosphere of learning and helping members stay motivated to
read, the Book Club Network
provides a social component.
The small discussion groups
allow for personal and intimate
experiences, along with social interaction, and give each
member time to have input into
the proceedings. Meeting new
people with fresh views helps
stimulate the growth of the
mind.
For further information, contact Verna Denny at (301-5981418) or ([email protected]).

joyed a film about accomplished
Italians in America, screened a
new film and enjoyed a discussion with the director and producer, held a festive holiday dinner with musical entertainment
provided by the Plummer family, listened and watched a film
of the Barber of Seville, and celebrated spring with a fabulous
Italian festival with great food
and music by the Monaldi Duo.
Don’t miss out on the wonderful events planned for next
year. Dues for next year must
be paid before September 2016.
Until then, have a safe summer … and ciao!

May 27: ‘Honor and Duty: The Mississippi Delta
Chinese’ Documentary Series Screens Next Week
by Stella Shaw
T
he Chinese Club is
presenting a special
screening of the
documentary film “Honor and
Duty: The Mississippi Delta
Chinese” in the Clubhouse II
Auditorium on Friday, May
27, from 9:30-11 a.m. This
documentary premiered on the
Mississippi Public Broadcasting
Network on May 1 and will not
be broadcast anywhere else in
the PBS network until the fall
or even later.
Thanks to Samantha Cheng,
our talented Chinese Club
member and producer, residents have the opportunity to
watch it right here and now.
It is a very interesting piece of
American history. Please do not
miss it. This event is free; sign
up at the E&R office in Clubhouse I or call (301-598-1300)
beginning Friday, May 20. All
residents are welcome.
“Honor and Duty: The Mississippi Delta Chinese” is a
three-part documentary series
that tells the story of an almost
forgotten community of Chinese in the U.S.’s Deep South.
This unique story shows how
Chinese families built an en-
during kinship and friendship
through small town markets
and grocery stores in the segregated South. It draws, in part,
on the memories of the patriotic Chinese World War II veterans who lived in the area and
stepped forward to serve in the
war and the families and community that supported them.
Part One (1870 to 1940) tells
how the Chinese came to Mississippi in the 19th century and
recounts the challenges of coming to the United States. In Part
Two (1941-1945), 24 Delta Chinese World War II veterans and
their families share stories of
the war and its impact on their
lives in the Mississippi Delta.
Part Three (1946 to the present) focuses on how the Delta
Chinese have influenced the social and economic fabric, customs and culture of Mississippi.
The documentary was produced by Heritage Series, LLC,
whose principals, Cheng and
Charles G. Crawford, are Leisure World residents. Both are
veteran broadcast professionals who create educational programs that inspire and provoke
thought among the curious of
all ages.

A Special Visit
LWAAAC was honored with
a visit by Heidi Cortese, the
daughter of Ross Cortese, developer of Leisure World; and
Demetrius Greer, vice president
of marketing and advertising
for LeisureWorld.com at our
regular monthly meeting the afternoon of Wednesday, May 4.
Our guests spoke about LeisureWorld.com and the benefits we could gain by using the
website. LeisureWorld.com was
created as a platform for seniors to meet new friends and
find old friends on a safe and
fun website.
It offers group trips, riverboat cruises and contests to
join, as well as an opportunity
to display your talents and hobbies. It also features photos by
Leisure World of Maryland residents on its home page and in
photo galleries.
The informative evening ended
with Heidi and Demetrius joining
us in the Cascade Bistro in Clubhouse I for dinner, with photo
sharing and lots of laughing. It
was a lovely time for all.
Fun Night With Simply
Shirley
On Thursday, April 28,
the LWAAAC sponsored its
Fun Night at Clubhouse I as a
“thank you” for all the members
who have supported our many
events in the past year.
The night started off with
our featured comedian, Simply Shirley, an old-school funny
lady.
Shirley brought some good
old-fashioned clean jokes that
had us all laughing until we
were almost in tears.
From senior citizen experiences to internet dating issues,
we were all cracking up at the
hysterical situations she reminded us about from back in
the day to the present.
Simply Shirley was just the
medicine we needed. Here’s
hoping we can get her back next
year.
After the show, we had delicious snacks and played a game
of Name That Tune.
Then we broke up into
groups, many playing Pokeno,
Bid Whist, Kings on the Corner
or Scrabble, while other just sat
around and enjoyed fellowship
with one another.

Here are the final instructions for making reservations
for the banquet on June 1,
starting at 6 p.m., in the Crystal Ballroom in Clubhouse I.
The deadline for reservations
is May 25. Send checks only
for $29 per person made out to

(15316 Pine Orchard Dr. #2H,
Silver Spring, MD 20906) or
Joan Okin (15101 Interlachen

20906). If you are forming a
table for a group of guests, list
the names of all parties on a
slip of paper in the same envelope. It would be convenient to
have all checks enclosed in one
envelope; or, as the “leader” of
the table, encourage those seated at your table to send their
own checks to either Rita or
Joan at once.

Chorale Sings Coda to Busy Season, Looks Forward
to New Members Joining its Performances
by Ken McMahill
A
s the chorale completes
its current season, we
reflect on our recent
performances while looking
ahead to adding new members
to our very active group.
Camaraderie in Song
The chorale performs for the
joy of singing and exhilaration
of comradeship, and we seek
enthusiastic singers who want
to share in this joy. We especially need tenors and basses.
You will enjoy our camaraderie and the satisfaction from
putting on outstanding stage
performances.
We sing group numbers,
trios, duets and solos; we sing
medleys and selections of show
tunes, holiday songs, spirituals, familiar classics and patriotic songs. From “Dry Bones”
to “Let It Snow,” from “America, Our Heritage” to “Besame
Mucho” to “What a Wonderful
World,” the chorale dazzles its
audiences with a diverse, extensive musical repertoire.
Look—and listen—for us at
Leisure World’s annual Independence Day celebration on
Monday, July 4. Our current
season ends with our performance that day.
Dazzling Past Performances
Our lively performances have
taken place both within Leisure
World and at other communities around the region.
The chorale kicked off 2016
by participating in the annual service dedicated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Inter-Faith Chapel in January,
singing “Witness,” a rousing spiritual evoking visions
of Methuselah, Samson and
Delilah.
In February, we performed
in Bedford Court, the community adjacent to Leisure World,
and in March we sang in the rehabilitation center at The Village at Rockville retirement
community.
In April, we performed for
our old friends at Holiday Park,
the senior center in Wheaton,
and we were scheduled to sing

We also have enjoyed singing for the folks at the Friends
Home in Sandy Spring and at
the Armed Forces Retirement
Home in Washington, D.C., and
at the Kiwanis Club’s annual
Christmas show.
Superb Leaders Appreciated
Our performances would not
be nearly so successful without
the dedication and hard work of
our exceptional director Connie
Graber or our superb accompanist Elaine O’Leary. Their tireless planning and polished cho-
reography enrich our performances, and we truly appreciate their time and talents.

n Gem, Lapidary and Mineral Society (GLMS) of Leisure World
Club Field Trips: Garnets at Northwest Branch,
Then Marine Fossils at Calvert Cliffs
by Mary Beth Mason
T
he next meeting of the
Gem, Lapidary and
Mineral Society (GLMS)
of Leisure World is Wednesday,
June 8, at 7 p.m. in Clubhouse
II. After a brief business
meeting, club members who
took part in one or both of our
club’s spring field trips will
report on their experiences.
On Monday, April 18, 10 club
members carpooled to nearby Northwest Branch Park to
search for garnets. These daring adventurers included Carol
Smith, Faye Brill, Mark and
Stella Parker, Barbara Dyko,
Ellen Bayewitz, Chuck and
Mary Beth Mason, and Jim and
Ida Leong.
The dark purple garnet of
Northwest Branch Park is usually found encased in a matrix
of mica schist, a material that
is liberally sprinkled with small
specks of what appear to be diamond dust. These minuscule
sparkles are really tiny bits of
mica.
All field trippers found at
least one garnet, and some
found five or more. Some of
the foragers discovered garnets unencumbered by matrix, called float, because they
“float” free on the earth-surface. The garnets are not of gem

quality, but are of interest to us
rockhounders.
Our next field trip, scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, is to
Calvert Cliffs in St. Leonard’s,
Md., situated on the Chesapeake Bay. The cliffs’ fossil-rich
shore stretches for 24 miles
from Chesapeake Beach to
Drum Point.
Fossils commonly found at
the cliffs include shark and
crocodile teeth, whale and dolphin vertebra and ribs, ray
spines and dental plates, fish
fan tails, shells, crab claws,
sand dollars, barnacles and
coral, to name a few.
Much of the shoreline is inaccessible to fossil hunters for
several reasons. One is that
there are very few locations that
can be accessed by fossil hunters due to the fact that great
stretches of beach are privately
owned.
A second consideration is
that the Maryland Geological Survey wants to protect the
cliffs from destruction by overzealous collectors and vandalism. Saving this geological site
is important because it provides
a cross section into 20 million
years of Chesapeake history.
Finally, there is concern
about the very real hazard—inherent in the fragility of this
million years old geologic structure—of a sudden, dangerous
collapse of part of the 100-foot
high cliffs.
Only Lapidary Club members
may participate in club field
trips, including this fossil-hunting outing. Slots for this field
trip filled up quickly with members, and we’re looking forward
to scheduling more outings.

the Lapidary Club of Leisure World, please contact

Clay ‘Junk’ Gets a New Life With Neon Paints
by Gail Bragg
I
f you want to know about the
neon paints, ask Susan Curow
– our Artist of the Month
for May. These bright colors are
her favorite. Another thing she
likes is “junk.” This of course
refers to clay junk, the leftover
piece of clay when you trim your
greenware of the collar.
Does all of this sound foreign to you? When our slip (liquid clay) is poured into a mold,
the mold is filled past the edge
of the piece you are making;
this extra is called collar and is
eventually trimmed off. If you
have made several pieces, you
can either stick the leftover collar together when they are still
a little wet, or you can use glaze
to make them adhere in the
kiln. Either way, it can be fun to

Susan.
If you are interested in joining our club, the $10 annual

about the Camera
Club until we begin to
meet again in the fall. To get
you started on subjects to
photograph over the summer,
here is the list of topics for our

• November—People at Work
• January—Open
• February—Animals (Wild/Zoo)
• March—Foggy/Misty Settings
• April—Year-end
Our judge at the year-end
competition this year, Denise
Silva of Road Runner Photography Tours, gave pointed critiques of each entry. Since
other judges we’ve had this
year had not emphasized some
of what she said, I am repeating some of her advice. As other
judges have stated, all judging, while based on good photographic rules, comes down to
the personal taste of the judge.

this can be corrected in the editing phase by adding contrast.
The editor can brighten the

If you have a personal favorite that did not place in this
competition, she said, then it
is still a winner for you, the

Denise did mention, however, a real no-no for her: Make
sure that you either clean your
sensor or remove dust spots
from the photo. She showed
us how to spot the presence of
dust spots that show up especially in skies and water.
Another new thought was

about one hour in to have a
snack and socialize. Also each
month a small group of us goes
to Rockville to have dinner and
see a movie in a nearby theater.
Lately, the Sunday Wii players have not been coming. If
you want to try this activity,
contact other members, then
contact the E&R office (301598-1320) in Clubhouse II no

two miles at your own pace. To
join the others, meet in the Clubhouse I lobby at 7:15 p.m. each
night from Monday to Friday.
If you are up for a longer
walk, meet at Arden Court at
8:30 a.m. Sundays to do the
Leisure World Boulevard loop,
about three miles. Sometimes
the group meets there and goes
out to another location. And the
group often goes out to breakfast together after the walk.
We also join a group on Friday mornings at various locations around the county. For
the summer months, walkers
meet at 11 a.m. Walk at your
own pace. Bring water and a
lunch. Full directions can be
found on the un-hosted calendar. (See website information.)

Your Votes Count in Board Election; Beach Trip,
Theater and Feasting Scheduled

T
he annual meeting and
election is Saturday,
May 28, in Clubhouse II.
At 2 p.m., one of our popular
videos will be shown; this time
we’ll visit Greece with Rudy
Maxa. The meeting will follow,
and then refreshments will be
served prior to the usual card
and board games and Bingo.
Several new board members
are up for election, and we need
a majority of members present
to vote for them in order to validate their election. Nominations from the floor may be offered prior to the vote. Therefore, it is very important that
members attend to complete
this procedure. Previous annual
meetings have lasted only 20 to
30 minutes.
Our trip Virginia Beach is
from Sunday, May 22, through
Wednesday, May 25. Check
with Joe Parker at (301598-3457) in case there is a
last-minute seat available.
Tickets currently are being
sold for the Sight and Sound
Theatre’s over-the-top extravaganza, “Samson,” on Monday,
July 25, in Strasburg, Pa. Lunch
at the nearby Bird-in-Hand
Family Restaurant is included
in this one-day trip.
Thursday, Sept. 22, brings
our very own crab feast and
Amish Market trip. We’ve done
this one before and bring it
back by popular demand. Regardless of the crab feast plans
here at Leisure World, people
seem to like the atmosphere as
well as the food a little closer to
the bay.
Watch for information about
our next trip to Toby’s Dinner
Theater in the Club Trips column in upcoming editions of
Leisure World News. As with
all our trips, detailed information is always presented in that
helpful column, so be sure to
check.
We always welcome your
suggestions about trips; don’t
be shy.
And please don’t forget the
all-important annual meeting on the 28th. We need your
vote!

LW Green Sees Festival as Launching Pad for More
Environmental Action
by Harry Stoffer
L
eisure World’s first
Environmental Festival
was the product
of months of planning,
preparation and, yes,
solicitation of sponsors by
festival organizers.
But the event, held early this
month, represented more of
a beginning than an end, say
members of LW Green, the
year-old environmental group
that organized the festival.
LW Green members are
planning to hold another festival next year and have started
talking about how to make the
2017 edition better.
More broadly, the festival
provided powerful evidence
that many Leisure World residents already have strong feelings about the environment–
sentiments that could be harnessed to advance environmental causes in the community,
some LW Green members say.
“There is a lot of energy and
enthusiasm here, and we need
to find ways to channel that
into environmental accomplishment,” said Rosemary Engman, treasurer of LW Green.

Paley
Despite cool, wet weather,
200 or more people turned out
for the festival May 1 at Clubhouse I. They were able to take
advantage of environmental exhibits and presentations, live
music, an eco-friendly vehicle
display, activities for children, a
raffle of prizes and more.
Marybeth Ardike, president of LW Green, declared the
event a success and hailed the
work of her organization members in creating the festival
as “a magnificent example of
group effort.”
Festival attendees also got to
hear from local public officials,
including Montgomery County
Councilmember George Leventhal (D-At Large) and Maryland
Delegate Ben Kramer (D-19th
District). Staff members spoke
on behalf of U.S. Rep. Chris
Van Hollen (D-8th District) and
Maryland Sen. Roger Manno
(D-19th District).
In addition, some LW Green
members are hoping they gained
another important ally for their
issues in Heidi Cortese.
Daughter of the late Ross Cortese, original developer of Leisure World communities across
the country, Heidi provided material support for the festival
and attended the Clubhouse I
activities. She also participated
afterwards in a tour of a nearby
grove with more than 50 trees
that LW Green says will be destroyed or damaged if current
plans for a new administration
building are implemented.
LW Green was founded last
year to educate its members
and other community residents
about environmental issues, especially hazardous chemicals,
recycling, stream quality and
trees.
n Leisure World Garden Plots
All Hail the Resilience of Gardeners and Their Plants
by Trixie Lopes
T
he unexpected deluge and
hailstorm the evening of
Monday, May 2, left our
gardens soaked, and tender
vegetable plants, set outside to
harden-off, frayed and broken.
Can we forgive Mother Nature
for this near catastrophe?!
Fortunately, it happened before
Mother’s Day—early enough for
gardeners to recover losses and
replant.
Plots
Susan Curow indicates we are
back up to 13 on the wait list for
new gardeners and zero vacancies. If you are planning to join
the wait list, please call Susan at
(301-598-7215). She will need
your completed application
without checks. Payment can be
made when a plot is assigned.
Some bins are still available
for gardeners to rent.
Inspection Alert
Regular inspection of the
gardens has begun—specifically any containers that can hold
standing water will be removed.
The new orange buckets must
be removed to the appropriate
shed after use. Failure to comply with garden plot rules for
2016, after repeated warnings,
will result in a garden plot not
being renewed for 2017.
Reminders
Betty Kontaxis, president, requests all gardeners review the
bulletin board above the donation table for assistance needed, meeting minutes and upcoming garden plot events.
Potluck
The next potluck social for
members and their guests
is Friday, June 17, at 6 p.m.,
weather permitting. A grill is
available.
Next Meeting
Our next meeting is Tuesday,
June 14, at 9:30 a.m. in Clubhouse I. Please mark your calendars for the second Tuesday
of each month and plan to attend. Many issues will be discussed, and you need to be included in all decisions involving
our garden plots.
Gardening Kudos
Thank you to McFall & Berry
Landscaping for donating a
load of quality topsoil to the
Garden Plots gardeners. It was
greatly appreciated.
Upcoming Garden Events
Brookside Gardens (http://
www.montgomeryparks.org/

scheduled for June 4; register
for course #14907. There is no
fee for this event.
McCrillis House in Bethesda
offers garden tours on Sundays.
Please call (301 962-1455) for

Plan now to grow that special vegetable or flower for the
show; you might win a blue ribbon. This event is sponsored by

Next Meeting Considers GOP Stances on
Presidential Election Issues
by Fred Seelman
T
he next meeting of the
Republican Club of
Leisure World is on
Tuesday, June 21, at 7 p.m.
in Clubhouse I. Please note
that the club is permanently
changing its meeting day to the
third Tuesday of the month.
We are in the middle of the
election season. In the April 26
primary, Maryland Republicans
chose their candidates: Donald Trump for president; Kathy
Szeliga for the U.S. Senate; and
Dan Cox for U.S. Congress. Our
club had programs focusing on
the candidates for these offices. A representative for Trump
and candidates Szeliga and Cox
have addressed our club.
The next step is to consider
the election issues.
From now until the November elections, the GOP candidates will inform the electorate about their positions on the
issues citizens will base their
votes on. At our May 17 meeting, a speaker facilitated a discussion of the issues the GOP
presidential candidate will emphasize—the economy and national security, for example.
Come to our June meeting
and get informed about the national issues in this year’s presidential campaign.
Thanks go to all who helped in
the April 26 Republican primary,
especially our overall and precinct
leaders Mary Ann Johnston, Ray
Spieler and Irmgard Patrick; and
those who worked at the polls:
Joe Gracia, Cheryl Jarvis, Lois
Salik, Joyce Terhes, Angie Tysen,
Donna Duke, Joan Billerbeck,
Donna Reilly, Nancy Alderman,
Tess Ronson, Fred Denecke, Jane
McElligott, Bob Fenichel, Bill
Slingluff and Fred Seelman.
Send comments, questions or
offers to volunteer to club President Fred Seelman by emailing
him at ([email protected]),
sending him a letter to his address in the LW phone book or
by calling first vice-president
Ray Spieler at (301-460-3563).
Join us for another quality event at 7 p.m. on Tuesday,
June 21, in Clubhouse I. And
enjoy our refreshments.

D
irectors of the Leisure World Kiwanis
Foundation are hosting an event
to award five scholarships to local
high school graduates on Sunday, June 5,
from 4-7 p.m. in the Clubhouse I Crystal
Ballroom. The students are from Albert
Einstein and James H. Blake High Schools.
The scholarships include three full tuition,
mandatory fee scholarships and one scholarship to a science major for the first year of
college. These recipients are required to enroll at a state-supported college in Maryland.
A fifth scholarship is awarded to a student
majoring in music with a concentration in
piano. This recipient may choose any accredited college with a school of music.
A highlight of the afternoon with dining
and dancing is a mini concert by The Hank
Levy Legacy Band. Levy was a jazz composer and music educator at Towson University (a Maryland state university) for 27 years.
During his tenure, the Towson State Jazz
Ensemble achieved national prominence.
The Kiwanis Club of Leisure
World and the Leisure World Kiwanis Foundation, Inc., are independently incorporated, separate
but compatible organizations. Both
organizations are guided by the
Objects (principles) of Kiwanis International, the global organization providing services for children
through volunteers all over the world. The
scholarship program was founded in 1979. In
honor of the founder of the scholarship program, the Kiwanis Club of Leisure World will
present a scholarship that is funded by the
weekly bingo activity of the Kiwanis Club.
Tickets for the June 5 event cost $60 per

n Hadassah
Author Michelle Brafman Discusses Her Novel
Following Dinner
by Barbara Eisen
H
adassah presents a book
and author event on
Wednesday, June 15, at
Clubhouse I.
Michelle Brafman will speak
on her novel “Washing the
Dead,” a powerful story about
repairing damaged bonds between loved ones, finding community and making peace with
the past.
The title of the book is a bit
misleading. It is not a book
that focuses on death or Jewish practices, but is an uplifting novel dealing with three
generations of women whose
lives traverse between the
secular and orthodox Jewish
communities.
The book presentation is
slated for 7:30 p.m. At 6:15
p.m. a seated dinner will precede the program.
The cost is $21. Please mail
your check payable to Hadassah to Caryl Rothberg
(1012 Crest Park Drive, Silver
Spring, MD 20903).
There is a choice of three
entrees: salmon with roasted potato, eggplant parmesan with linguini marinara
and fruit platter with cottage
cheese. Salad, vegetable, beverage and black forest cake
are included.
Write your choice of entree on your check. The deadline date is Wednesday, June
8. Contact Caryl at (301439-7338) or ([email protected]) if you have
questions.
Judaic Study Group
The Judaic Study Group’s
next meeting is on Monday,
June 20.
At the Judaic Study Group
meeting on Monday, May 16,
Ruth Temin, a Leisure World
resident, shared a letter from
her son and daughter-in-law
in Israel on the occasion of
their son’s finishing his Israel
Defense Forces service.
She has collected facts
about Israel that perhaps aren’t widely known, as well as
illustrations of Israel’s outstanding reputation as a wellspring of innovation.
Attendees were invited to
join the discussion and to
contribute stories from their
own experiences as well.
activities to further the
worthwhile projects it supports in medical, educational
and social programs in Israel
and in the U.S.
If you are interested in
knowing more about Hadassah, contact our membership

Hadassah plans to march
in the Leisure World’s Fourth

n Rossmoor Woman’s Club
Scholarships and Music Highlight RWC’s Goal
Fulfillment
by Ileana Eblighatian
T
ime waits for no one;
we must treasure every
moment we have. It is
never too late and never too
early to join our club and enjoy
the projects, conversation and
new attitude toward life that we
offer. Rossmoor Woman’s Club
(RWC) always welcomes new
members.
The key to running a successful charity-oriented club is its
members’ unity. We connect to
one other, exchange ideas and
create activities to fulfill our
goals: interesting programs for
our members, charity funds for
the needy and college scholarships for students. In any given
month, the Rossmoor Woman’s
Club’s executive board creates
a star showcase with something
fresh and interesting.
3M and Harp Music
Take, for example, our very
special “3M: Meeting-Munchies-Music” general meeting in
the Villa Cortese V Party Room
on April 27. A big thank you
goes to the club’s vice president
Noreen Potter, who organized
the meeting, and to Mamma
Lucia’s Italian Restaurant for
donating pizza and garlic bread.
President Aggie Eastham
spoke of the importance of in-
vesting in our future through
our youth, and the club’s philanthropic activities throughout the past year. They included awarding scholarships to
two Blake High School students
and three summer scholarships
through the Montgomery College A.C.E.S. program.
The RWC has given scholarships to high school students
for two years, and it has donated $63,000 to Montgomery
College over 32 years. This current calendar year is our 33rd
year.
After the meeting, which
about 60 members attended,
Mary Lee Amato gave a special harp performance. She
brilliantly played “Cadenza”
by Tschaikovsky, “Intermezzo” from “Cavaleria Rusticano” by Mascagni, “Chanson
Dans la Nuit” by Carlos Salzedo and more. Mrs. Amato also
answered members’ questions
about the instrument and its
special features. We are grateful for her wonderful and edifying performance.
RWC member Ingrid Masi
liked the educational entertainment. “I enjoyed the harpist—
not just her playing the music,”
she said, “but also her teaching
us about the instrument, things
I didn’t know.”
The winners of the restau-

rant raffle were a guest, Carolyn
Thompson ($25 from Full On),
Carol Sloan ($25 from GrillMarX) and LeLoy Cottrell ($50

Coming Up
The RWC scheduled its
scholarship luncheon at Manor
Country Club for May 18. A report on the presentation of the
scholarships and the students’
comments about their goals will
appear in our next column.
The next RWC executive
board meeting and lunchbrunch is on Monday, June
13, at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse I.
Please check for the reserved
meeting room on the display
in the lobby. All members are
invited. Suggestions, recommendations and critiques are
welcome. Please let us know
your preferences, your interest in any category of events
and your interest in any field.
We always pay attention to
your suggestions and study the
possibilities.
Membership
We invite our community
residents to join the Rossmoor
Woman’s Club. New members
are vital for our success in providing financial assistance to
organizations in our area and
scholarship funds for selected
aspiring students.
Your non-resident friends
also are welcome to become
members, as long as they don’t
exceed 10 percent of our total
members. Call Arlene Siller
(301-460-7859), our membership committee chair.
If you have not yet paid your
dues for the 2016-2017 club

At Leisure World, as the old song says, the livin’ is easy. The quality of services is very high. The upkeepof the
complex is excellent. Safety is assured. Friendly neighbors are everywhere. All of which makes Leisure World real
estate very desirable, and often hard to obtain. Many folks have tried to buy at Leisure World, only to “miss the
boat” with a bid that was too late, too low, too full of conditions or all three.
The right Realtor can put together the right deal and can strike while the iron is hot. The right Realtor is Karen
Rollings. She has been a leading producer in Montgomery County, MD—and at Leisure World—for decades. That
didn’t just happen. Karen Rollings and her team know how to shepherd a deal past all the complications and all the potential roadblocks. Karen has earned her reputation by delivering for her clients. You think that homes sell themselves, especially at Leisure
World? Think again. Timing is everything. Having a Realtor who can make deadlines—and occasionally beat them—is the difference
between yes and no. How does that Realtor stay on top of the timing question? Via hard work. That’s the motto of Karen Rollings and
her team. Always has been. Always will be. Any Realtor can stick a FOR SALE sign in the ground. Any Realtor can study the listings
via a computer. But no Realtor has consistent success—and consistent repeat business—without a special quality.
Karen Rollings has that quality. She gives every client her total attention. She listens. She smooths. She negotiates. She brings home the
bacon. If you are looking to buy at Leisure World, you have a lot of company. But Karen Rollings doesn’t. For many years, she has
been the best choice to help you into your new home. Give her a call, you won’t be disappointed.

n Macintosh Club
A Wealth of Information Behind the Apple Icon
by Brent Malcolm
About This Mac
Most of us are very familiar
with the often-used Apple Menu
item (Apple icon extreme top
left of screen), About This Mac.
We usually only open it to determine the Operating System version. But within that simple interface lies a wealth of valuable information that can be helpful to
everyone.
The Overview window that
opens with the menu command
has four additional information tabs. The second, Displays,
shows the display(s) attached to
your Mac and their resolution.
The third, Storage, graphically presents all the storage media
attached to your Mac, their size
and their free space. It also shows
what type of files they contain
such as Apps, Audio, Photos,
Movies and Other.
The fourth tab, Support, provides useful links to help you
get support for your Mac. The
first group, OS X Resources, has
links to Mac Help, where you
can search on any help topic.
There is a link to download a Mac
User Manual—and you thought
Macs didn’t have manuals. Then,
there’s OS X Support, a link to an
Apple web page with a set of user
guides for all of the Apple provided software.
The second group, Mac Resources, has links to Specifications (a list of your Mac’s technical specs), while Hardware Support takes you to an Apple web
page with help for every facet of
running your Mac. Lastly, Important Information covers some
of the legal facets of Mac software.
As Steve Jobs would say after
one of his Apple presentations, “…
one more thing!” Go back to the
Overview tab and you’ll find two
buttons: System Report and Software Update. Software Update
merely takes you to the update
tab in the App Store, but clicking
the System Report opens a window into every piece of internal
hardware, software and network
interface on your Mac.
For instance, under Software,
clicking Applications will bring up
a list of all apps on your Mac, including version number, date installed and the source of the app.
It takes a while to load because it
finds all applications, even if they
aren’t in your Applications folder.
Fonts will list all installed fonts.
Under Hardware, information is
presented for Bluetooth, Camera,
USB devices, Power, FireWire,
Ethernet and many other hardware categories.
Mac Club News
For the Tuesday, May 24,
meeting, we are hosting a new
presenter, Jimmy Obomsawin,
otherwise known as “JimmyMac.”

Jimmy will talk about home
automation and HomeKit, Apple’s new innovative effort to integrate activities of daily living. Join
us at 10 a.m. in the Clubhouse II
Exercise Room.
Don’t forget you can always see
the up-to-date schedule on our

n Comedy and Humor Club
New Comedians Can Get Their Feet Wet at the
Microphone
by Al Karr
T
elling jokes at our
regular Comedy and
Humor Club meeting
every Tuesday from 1:303 p.m. in the Clubhouse
II Exercise Room is a
memorable experience. But
when you do it for the first
time, you soon get over
whatever trepidation you may
suffer.
When you do it for the first
time, getting your feet wet,
you soon get over whatever trepidation you may suffer. And you don’t need an
umbrella anymore, except
when you go outside these
days, with the cold April win-
ter giving way to those May
showers.
Take me, for instance. Everybody laughed when I said
I was going to try my hand
(or mouth) at standup comedy. Well, here I am, doing
just that every Tuesday at our
Comedy Club group therapy
session—and no one is laughing now!
Brave souls who plied us
with jokes and songs recently included president Sam
Hack, Morris Elbaum, Herb
Hodes, vice president Gloria Horwitz, Fred Firnbacher, chief technology officer
Jim Owen, Sumner Levin and
Al Karr. We started off one
laughter fest by singing “Pen-
nies from Heaven,” a 1936
ditty with music by Arthur
Johnston and words by Johnny Burke.
Here are some examples of
the comedy presented at the
May 3 gathering.
Gloria: A man died, leaving his widow $20,000. But
soon she said she was broke. She was asked why. Well,
she replied, the funeral cost
$6,000, mandatory donations
to the church totaled $2,000
and the memorial stone cost
$12,000. Memorial stone—
$12,000? Yes, she said, after
all, it was three carats.
Fred recounted his annual May tale about the 1912
ocean shipment of 10 tons
of Hellman’s mayonnaise to

Happened on May 5, and became known as the “Sinko de
Mayo.”
And Sam, last but not least:
When this fellow asked a taxi
driver to take him to Christchurch (in New Zealand),
the driver took him to St.
Patrick’s Cathedral instead.
When the man repeated that
he wanted to go to Christchurch, the cabbie replied, “I
don’t think Jesus is in town,
but if he were, this would be
his church.”

Bocce Beckons with Fun and Competition
by Elsie Whitten
T
he beautiful spring
weather brings many
residents the desire to get
some easy and mild outdoor
exercise. Walking is great, but
more engaging is the game of
bocce.
This ancient game dates back
to Egyptian and Roman times.
Immigrants from these areas
brought the passion for the
game to many other countries,
such as Malta, where an interesting derivative is played.
Bocce is simple to play; anyone at any age can do it. Just
bend over and roll a small solid
red or green ball toward a small
white ball called the pallino.
Whoever rolled the ball that
stops closest to the pallino gets
a point.
Leisure World has one bocce
court between the shuffleboard
area and the lawn bowls square
next to Clubhouse I. The green
sign near the court gives a history: “It was built in 2005 with
an appreciation to IDI and its

founder Giuseppi Cecchi for
countless hours of fun and
competition.”
On Wednesday mornings
from 9 a.m.-12 noon a group
of men and women meet for
this easy yet challenging sport.
Join us for a game! No special
clothes or shoes are required,
and there are no club fees and
no player restrictions. All are
welcomed.
The Bocce Club is thankful to
the Education and Recreation
Department, which recently
had a lock put on the shed door
next to the court so the recently purchased set of bocce balls
would be safe and ready to use.
If you, your family or friends
would like to play at any time,
just sign the key out from the
E&R office desk at Clubhouse I.
Be sure to sign the key back in
at the same location.
Riderwood’s Senior Community director says it has two
bocce courts with a large group
of participants headed by Dr.
George Galasso. We may wish
to visit them and challenge
them in the future.
The Rockville Senior Center
also has one bocce court used
for the Montgomery County Senior Olympics. Asbury Methodist Village has one court that is
well used.
Come join us and try your
hand at this inviting game. The
games are quick and are good
social fun. Any questions? Contact Elsie Whitten at (301598-7234) or Sylvia Herring at

Good News, Bad News as Rain Thwarts Teams
by Rita Molyneaux
April Play
The 2016 Golf Season is underway, but the powers that be
apparently didn’t get the word.
The ladies on April 7 were to
play a 9-Hole Ladies/18-Hole
Ladies Scramble, but had to
cancel because of rain. Forward
to April 12 and another rainout
for the 9-Holers.
The Men’s Group fared better. On April 6, they were host
to Bretton Woods and Rattlewood for their first MISGA
event, but they played in cold,
windy weather. Mike Makfinsky’s team shared first place
honors with Sperry Storm’s
team, scoring 124. Kevin McMahon and Dick Curtin scored
127 to win third place, and
fourth place was another tie at
129 between team Joe Boland/
Donald Parr and team Joe Crocetta/Sam Choi.
Sperry said 15 MISGA players made the trip to Breton
Woods on Wednesday, April 27,
despite the rainy, chilly weather. They shot some high scores
and a lot of middle scores, and
five players hit in the eighties on a course made difficult
by the weather. Hats off to Bill
Heyman and Mark Parker, who
helped their team take first
place with 130. Bob Elks assisted in his team’s capture of third
with a 133 and, although Sperry
didn’t help much, the reps got
fourth with 134. Bob Elks won
a closest to pin prize for the
ninth hole, and George Doboski took the number one spot in
the 50/50.
May Play
Weather cooperated for
play at Musket Ridge on May
3. Eight of the 15 players who
had signed up cancelled after
the previous evening’s storm.
Thanks to those who played,
and thanks to those who cancelled for making timely notice
to the Musket Ridge Pro Shop.
Musket Ridge is a difficult
course, especially with the carts
not allowed off the cart paths,
and the scores reflect the difficulty. However, “hats off” to
Bob Elks for the low score of
Leisure World players of 84.
Joe Powell helped his team
finish fourth with a two best
ball net score of 122. And a special “hats off” to Ken Katowski
for his closest to the pin win on
hole 13.
MISGA Events
Note: The online sign-up system for the MISGA mixers is
working well. If you need some
help, check with the pro shop
or Sperry.
For upcoming MISGA tournaments that are not on the
MISGA online sign up, detailed
information will be posted and
emailed soon. We have a Division IV two-player team championship/qualifier at Hobbit’s
Glen on Monday, June 20.
Also, there is a Division IV individual stroke play championship and qualifier for past presidents/ABCD Championship on
Wednesday, June 29.
Ladies and Men
The 9-Hole Ladies competed
in an Odd/Even Alternate Shot
event on April 26, a cloudy and
cool day. Nedra Duffy and Lois
Falck took top honors for the
day with their score of 31.
Second place resulted in a tie
between two teams when both
scored 32; Team Dee Smiley
and Janet Danziger and Team
Shirley Gilmore and Marilyn
Sebastian.
Thirty LW Men turned out
on May 4 to compete in a TwoMan Scramble on very wet
course. Pete Porello and Kevin
McMahon sloshed their way to
first place with their team score
of 73. Paul D’angelo with Kevin
McMahon posted 69 to win second place, and Bob Rauner and
Doug Allston took third with
their 74.
The 18-Hole Ladies were not
so lucky the following day. They
were rained out again.
Our Unsung Heroine
Did you know that Leisure World Golf has a bulletin board? No, not the sign-up
board in the Pro Shop. This one
can be found in the south corridor of Clubhouse I. It is a colorful posting of everything you
ever wanted or needed to know
about Leisure World golf. It
was created and is maintained
by Joan Reynolds, the Golf
Club’s resident artist, who has
been a tireless supporter for Ladies’ Golf for many years, at the
same time serving as her Mutual’s rep on the Golf and Greens
Committee. Joan does an outstanding job providing complete, up-to-date golf information, plus a bit of whimsy with
her cartoons and tidbits. Check
it out from time to time. Then
make a point of telling Joan if
you enjoyed her work.
First TwiLite Event
The first TwiLite event is
slated for Friday, May 27, at
4:30 p.m. Put it on your calendars now and plan to sign
up early in the Golf Shop. This
social event of nine holes is
scheduled for the last Friday
of the month during the open
golf season and is open to men
and women. Alex arranges the
foursomes, and golfers tee off
at 4:30 p.m. Play is followed by
dinner and awards, probably on
the Lanai. Enthusiasm seems
to be building for this event, so
you really don’t want to miss
this opportunity to meet some
new fellow golfers.

Chess Soars with Now-Thriving Bald Eagles
by Bernie Ascher
T
he news about
endangered species
has been bleak and
depressing. Because of illegal
hunting and loss of habitat due
to economic development, the
wildlife populations on Earth
have been declining almost
constantly.
Thus, wildlife lovers should
be greatly relieved to learn that
bald eagles, a symbol of our nation, are becoming more numerous and lately have been
readily seen in the Chesapeake
Bay area. Hooray! Bird watchers had not seen much of the
bald eagle since it was removed
from the endangered species
list by the Fish and Wildlife
Service in 2007.
The bald eagle first made its
appearance as a national symbol on the Great Seal of the
United States in 1782. Later it
appeared on official documents,
currency, flags, public buildings
and other government-related
items.
Benjamin Franklin wrote a
letter to his daughter in 1784,
criticizing selection of the bald
eagle to represent the United States. The bald eagle, he
wrote, “is a Bird of bad moral
Character. He does not get
his Living honestly. You may
have seen him perched on
some dead Tree near the River,
where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of
the Fishing Hawk; and when
that diligent Bird has at length
taken a Fish, and is bearing it to
his Nest for the Support of his
Mate and young Ones, the Bald
Eagle pursues him and takes it
from him.”
According to estimates,
in the late 1800s, there were
about 100,000 nesting bald eagles in the continental U.S. The
National Bird,
however, became threatened with extinction years
later.
The number dropped to
an all-time low
of 417 nesting
pairs in 1963
despite protective legislation passed
by Congress in 1940. “The Bald
Eagle Protection Act” made it
illegal to possess, kill, or sell the
birds.
In further legislation in 1967
and 1973, the bald eagle was
listed as a threatened and endangered species.
With treatment as an endangered species, together with
a federal ban on the pesticide
DDT, the bald eagle made a remarkable recovery. Its population increased steadily so that
by 1995 its status changed from
“endangered” to “threatened,”

breeding pairs, it was removed
completely from the list.
It is good to see that eagles
are making a comeback. They
are large majestic birds, perhaps too large to hold in your
hands. They can be fearsome,
standing about three feet tall,
weighing 10 to 14 pounds, with
a wingspan of 5 feet to 8 feet.
Like some other birds, the male
is a bit smaller than the
female.
Bald eagles
may live 30
years or more
in the wild,
possibly longer in captivity. They build
massive stick
nests in the
tops of trees
that are reused
year after year. Some nests may
reach as much as 10 feet across
and weigh between 1,000 to
5,000 pounds.
Both sexes are very large,
dark brown-colored birds with
a distinctive white head and
tail. It is a pity, however, that in
a country as rich and tech savvy
as ours, our national bird must
suffer the humiliation of baldness. Perhaps a national effort
can be mounted to grow hair on
these birds.
Ironically, you may recall comedian Jackie Leonard, who
appeared on many late-night
shows in the 1960s, with his
now-famous line (after removing his hat to reveal his bald
head): “What did you expect,
JOEL'S
EXECUTIVE
CAR SERVICE
301-438-9777
301-980-4734 (cell)
feathers?”
So, please be aware that May
20 is the 11th annual Endangered Species Day. You can celebrate with special events, art
shows, speeches and, as usual,
partying.
The Chess Club will be celebrating by playing chess, of
course. There is no danger of
chess extinction. The number of
players worldwide, currently at
more than 600 million adults,
keeps growing.
In the game pictured on this
page, it is Black’s move. Black
decided to capture the Pawn
on c4 with the Pawn from b5.
Black should have done something else. Why?
The answer will follow immediately after this brief reminder that the LW Chess Club
meets on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday between 1-4 p.m. at
Clubhouse II. For further information, call club president Bernie Ascher at (301-598-8577).
Membership is free and all are
welcome.
ANSWER: Black should have
done something else because
White’s next move was Bishop
to g6—checkmate! Black could
have avoided checkmate by
moving the Bishop from d7 to
h3. Opening the d7 square enables the King to move out of
check.
So, do not wait for next year’s
Endangered Species Day. Do
not wait for bird watchers to
find a thousand-pound nest. Do
not wait for the bald eagle to
grow hair. Play chess now!

Pickleball Times Slated
for Six Days Per Week
A
long with other sports
clubs, pickleball players
have had to work around
unseasonable weather this
spring. Because of cool weather
and high winds, an outdoor
picnic on May 15 was moved
indoors to the Maryland Room
in Clubhouse I.
The club plans for the picnic
to become an annual event, so
members are hoping for a milder day for the picnic in 2017.
Players still flock to the
courts for games nearly every
day of the week. Pickleball can
be played on tennis courts 1
and 2 behind Clubhouse II on
the following days and times:
• Monday, 6 p.m.
• Tuesday, 8 a.m.
• Wednesday, 6 p.m.
• Thursday, 8 a.m.
• Saturday, 8:30 a.m.
• Sunday, 11 a.m.
