Celebrate Mardi Gras on Feb. 5
From the E&R Department
The Foundation of
Leisure World and the E&R
Department welcome back the
“Dixieland Express” (pictured)
as it again brings New Orleansstyle Dixieland music to Leisure
World for an early Mardi Gras
celebration on Feb. 5 from
7:30 to 9:30 PM in Clubhouse
I’s Crystal Ballroom. The band
has been a big hit for the last
several Fat Tuesdays and we
look forward to them playing
for us again this year. This
will be the best opportunity to
celebrate Mardi Gras north of
New Orleans! Listen and dance
to some great Dixieland music,
rounding out the celebration with
festive refreshments. A cash bar
will be available. Tickets, $8 per
person, go on sale Tuesday, Jan.
15 at 8:30 am in both clubhouses.
The “Dixieland Express,” led by resident and band
manager, John Stewart, includes
the traditional front line of trumpet, clarinet and trombone. And,
in keeping with the traditional
Dixieland instrumentation, the
band also has a rhythm and
chords section comprised of
drums and banjo. The tuba fills
out the bottom of the band. This
special Mardi Gras performance
will also again feature the well
known Strathmore in Residence
jazz vocalist, Mary Alouette.
The “Dixieland Express” was founded in 1999 with
the purpose of continuing the
musical tradition and creativity
found in the performance of early
20th century jazz. This evolved
from the cultural, social, religious and international melting
pot of New Orleans. The group

Compassion & Choices – First Three Programs
By Rosalind Kipping, President
Jan. 16 at 2 PM: “Last Flight Out: Loving,
Living and Leaving” will be discussed by author Phyllis
Langton. She invites us into her life as she shares her story
of the journey she traveled with her husband George as he
slowly succumbed to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS),
also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Sharing stories helps
us to think about how we might respond to debilitating and
life-threatening illness.
March 23 at 2 PM: Physician Aid-in-Dying:
Rosalind will present information about the legal practice of
physician aid-in-dying in Oregon, Washington and Montana.
She will explain how the Death With Dignity laws work
in those states, and 14 years of Oregon statistics will be
available. Attendees will be invited to discuss whether they
want a similar law to be passed in Maryland. Learn about
both the national and worldwide debate on this issue and
join the discussion.
May 21 at 2 PM: Palliative Care: Brian Hunt,
founder and director of the Department of Palliative Care
at MedStar Montgomery General Hospital, will talk to us
about palliative care, its philosophy and how it works with
both the individual and his/her physician to provide many
comforting benefits. We will learn about when palliative care
is appropriate and how the individual may initiate this care.
Palliative care and hospice care are often confused, so please
come and learn from Brian about the very helpful services of
his department. MedStar is now running the medical center
in this community and this is an opportunity to learn about
MedStar palliative services.
All LW residents and their guests are invited to all
C&C programs. Please come a little early to select useful
information from our resource tables. Annual dues are $2
and you are encouraged to join us.

by CM
The Hispanos de
Leisure World will present
the movie “Live-in Maid”
on Friday, Jan. 18 at 3 PM
in Clubhouse I. Please check

Winner of a Special
Jury Prize at the Sundance
Film Festival, this movie tells
the story of Beba, a spoiled
member of the Argentine upper middle class, and Dora,
the maid who has worked for
her more than 30 years. When
Beba’s wealth begins to fade,
the relationship between the
two women undergoes subtle
and not-so-subtle changes,
amplifying the cataclysmic
qualifications and expectations for officers and/or to
be nominated for one of the
offices, please let one of the
current board members know
of your interest.
Send an email to
one of the current officers:
Joyce Temple, joytemp45@

a long serving not retired
club member and club board
member of the Leisure
World Republican Club, the
new Republican National
Committeewoman Nicolee Ambrose will speak
to the club about the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) recently
launched official review of
the 2012 election. The RNC
is the governing body of
the Republican Party and is
composed of three representatives from each state and
territory. Ambrose serves
as one of the three Maryland
representatives. The other
two MD representatives are
Alex Mooney, chairman of
the MD GOP; and Louis
Pope, the party’s national
committeeman. Mr. Pope
spoke to our club in August.
The RNC’s official 2012 Election Review, known as the Growth
and Opportunity Project,
will be chaired by five GOP
leaders and is charged by
RNC Chairman Priebus
with initially reviewing past
practices and also making
critical recommendations
for the future in these eight
key areas: 1) campaign mechanics and ground game; 2)
messaging; 3) fundraising;
4) demographic partners and
allies; 5) third party groups;
6) campaign finance issues;
7) presidential primaries;
and 8) lessons learned
from Democratic campaign
tactics. National Committeewoman Ambrose will
inform us about the project
at our meeting. Come to
our meeting so you will
not miss this opportunity to
learn about the future of our
party. For further information, see the RNC website
at http://www.gop.com/
news/press-releases/rnclaunches-new-initiative-togrow-the-party-and-win/.
The club gives
a big thank you to Joyce
for her long service to
the Republican Party as
Republican National committeewoman and in other
Republican offices she has
served in over the years. We
are grateful that she will still
be here to help us locally.
The club fondly
looks back at the last meeting, our holiday party. Like
last year, Karen Collins led
us in the singing of carols. Members brought holiday food delights. They socialized and got to know
each other better. They even
played Bingo (it was well
run by our past president,
Mary Ann Johnston).
Members were
presented with a questionnaire and asked to make
comments in connection
with the following headings: “1. Suggestions for
Improvement;” 2. “Recommendations for Programs;” and 3. “Ways to
Volunteer.” Many valuable
ideas were offered including
one that recommended the
program topic for our next
meeting. Many people
volunteered. This questionnaire will also be available
at every future meeting. So
if you have suggestions or
want to volunteer, complete
the form at our next meeting
and hand it in to one of our
officers.

Peripheral Neuropathy Group
of Leisure World By Herb Fine, 1-240-669-7908, fi[email protected]
Peripheral neuropathy is
not a single disease. It is
a general term for a series
of disorders that result
from damage to the body’s
peripheral nervous system.
What is the peripheral nervous system (PNS)? The
body’s nervous system is
made up of two parts. The
central nervous system
(CNS) includes the brain
and the spinal cord. The
peripheral nervous system
connects the nerves running from the brain and
spinal cord to the rest of
the body—the arms and
hands, legs and feet, internal organs, joints and even
the mouth, eyes, ears, nose
and skin.
Peripheral neuropathy
occurs when nerves are
damaged or destroyed
and cannot send messages
from the brain and spinal
cord to the muscles, skin
and other parts of the body.
Peripheral nerves go from
the brain and spinal cord
to the arms, hands, legs
and feet. When damage
occurs, numbness and
pain in these areas can
occur. Some forms of
neuropathy involve damage to only one nerve and
are called mononeuropathies. Mononeuropathy
is usually the result of
damage to a single nerve
or nerve group by trauma,
injury, local compression,
prolonged pressure, or inflammation. The majority
of people, however, suffer from polyneuropathy,
damage affecting multiple
nerves at the same time.
Occasionally, the neuropathy is a symptom of
another disorder.
Peripheral neuropathy
is the manifestation of
many different conditions that can damage the
peripheral nerves and is
considered a neurological
disorder rather than one
distinct disease. Peripheral
neuropathy may be either
inherited or acquired.
Causes of acquired
peripheral neuropathy
include exposure to toxic
chemicals, trauma, poor
nutrition, alcoholism, protein abnormalities, autoimmune diseases such as
HIV/AIDS, Lyme disease,
diphtheria and leprosy, and
systemic diseases such as
diabetes mellitus, kidney
disorders, cancers and

Democratic Club of Leisure World Celebrates
President Barack Obama’s Second Inaugural By Emile Milne
n Monday, Jan. 21,
President Obama
will be inaugurated
for a second term in
office, a day of celebration
for Leisure World Democrats and other residents
who strongly supported the
president’s reelection.
Also on that day,
Americans will commemorate and honor the birthday
of Martin Luther King, Jr.,
whose efforts to inspire the
civil rights movement made
possible the election of the
nation’s first president of
African-American descent.
The oath of office
O
will be administered at noon
on the steps of the west front
of the U.S Capitol. Members
of Congress were issued a
small number of tickets for
distribution to constituents—
under a lottery system, in the
case of our representative,
Chris Van Hollen. Tickets
are not required to watch the
swearing-in ceremony on
large screens that will be set
up along the National Mall.
Nor are tickets required to view the presidential inaugural parade
along Pennsylvania Avenue
starting at 2:30 PM. Viewing
stands and bleachers will
extend from Third to 17th
Streets. The city of Silver
Spring will be represented in
the parade by the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry
Regiment—Company B.
On another matter,
regarding the successful
effort to avert the so-called
fiscal cliff, Cong. Van Hollen
issued the following statement on Jan. 1:
“On balance, this
legislation will help working
families, boost our economy,
and ensure that the top one
percent share greater responsibility for reducing our deficits. While I oppose the estate
tax provision, which is an
average tax break of over $1
million to the approximately
7,000 wealthiest estates in
our country, the vast majority of the package represents
important progress—the
middle class tax cut will be
made permanent, the child
tax credit will be extended,
the Alternative Minimum
Tax and Medicare physician
payment rates will be addressed, and we will continue
to provide unemployment
benefits to the millions of
Americans who are out of
work through no fault of
their own. Any agreement
required compromise, and
I believe this is a fair deal
for the American people. It
is unfortunate that we were
not able to do a larger plan
on deficit reduction, but
President Obama has made
clear that he will continue to
fight for a balanced approach
as we work to get our fiscal
house in order.”
Rep. Van Hollen,
ranking member of the
Budget Committee and a
leader among congressional
democrats, has been invited
by the club for a special presentation on national issues
to the entire Leisure World
community later in the year.
More details will be available
in a future issue of Leisure
World News.
At the first meeting of the new year on
Feb. 14, the club will host
an exciting program commemorating both President’s
Day (George Washington’s
birthday, Feb. 18) and Black
History Month.
The guest speaker is
the distinguished biographer/
historian Wil Haygood who
will offer his insights on life
in the White House. Just prior
to President Obama’s first
inaugural, Mr. Haygood’s article in the Washington Post,
for the first time, revealed
the contributions of Eugene
Allen, an African American
White House butler who
served eight presidents over
the course of 34 years.
Mr. Haygood is
also associate producer of
the filmed adaptation of his
Washington Post story on Mr.
Allen, which will debut later
in the year. The film, directed
by Lee Daniels, stars Forest
Whitaker as “The Butler,”
Oprah Winfrey as his wife,
John Cusack, Vanessa Redgrave, Jane Fonda, and Cuba
Gooding, among others.
Mr. Haygood accompanied Mr. Allen to
President Obama’s 2009
inauguration, the first “The
Butler” had ever attended.

The Art Scene (RAG)
By Sheila Campbell
With a new year
now underway, it is not
too soon to start thinking
about a new slate of officers
for the board of RAG. Our
treasurer, Bob Moreland,
has served us valiantly for
three years and needs a
break. If you, or anybody
you know, are available and
willing to train for this position, please call me. We also
will need a new president
starting in September, so
please consider volunteering for this important and
rewarding position. Two
members can easily share
this for a co-presidency.
Without more help from the
membership, RAG cannot
survive. Our next board
meeting is Wednesday, Jan.
16 at 3 PM in Clubhouse I.
All members are welcome.
J a n e P r e e c e ’s
painting of Christmas balls
is now displayed in the
main corridor. See it as
you head for the restaurant
area as well as all our other
talented artists’ displays.
Many thanks to all who
contributed and renewed
and thanks also to our able
hanging committee.
New opportunities
to exhibit are also available
from Olney Art Association.
If you plan to visit the Inn
at Brookeville Farms soon,
their show will hang on Jan.
28 and will be on display for
one year. Further information will be forthcoming
on a possible opening for
that exhibit. But it will be
extensive, encompassing all
the public rooms. I hope to
get the names of RAG artists
on display for the next issue.
The Olney Arts
Association’s Ranazul
Show will hang on March 3,
with the reception on March
10 from 4 to 5 PM, and will
remain up until April 7. Several of the guild’s artists are
participating. Their names
will be in a future issue of
this newsletter.
Also for those of
you who are members of Olney Art, at its January meeting at Ashton Methodist
Church, we were reminded
that annual dues are now
expected. So if you want to

With the short winter days and long nights for

as well as the impending

and welcomed, so stop by a
class soon and see what we
are about. In the meantime,
happy painting to all!

Camera Loss in Wood
Shop
Over the weekend of Dec.1 - 2, an
expensive digital camera
was erroneously left
exposed in the Wood
Shop area in Clubhouse
I. When the owner went
to recover the camera, it
was missing. The camera was taken from the
Wood Shop when it was
unmanned and secured
for the weekend.
As a precautionary note, this camera was
left in a normally secure
location and it wound
up being stolen. Leisure
World is a secure community, but that fact does
not relieve residents from
the responsibility of looking after their personal
belongings.
While the owner
of the camera would obviously like it back, the
pictures on the SD card
are irreplaceable and of
considerable importance
to him. I’m asking the person who took the camera
to please anonymously
turn the memory card
into the E&R Office in
Clubhouse I so that it can
be returned to the owner.

Crèche in Clubhouse I
Lobby Inappropriate
Religion is a subject that is very sensitive
and emotional, and I approach the subject with
more than a little trepidation.
I refer to the
crèche that is present in
the lobby of Clubhouse
I. It is a beautiful piece of
sculpture and presented in
a very attractive manner.
But it is inappropriate. A
visitor entering the clubhouse could well assume
that Leisure World is a
community sponsored by
a Catholic or Protestant
organization. Of course,
it isn’t. There are people
of many faiths living in
Leisure World, as well as
people of no religion, and
Leisure World welcomes
them all.
At the national
level, a basic concept of
government is the separation of church and state.
I think it would be good
practice if we followed
that principle in Leisure
World as well.

“Ethical Wills” – Jan. 22 Unitarian Universalists’ Program
by Mary Beth Mason
The Unitarian Universalists (UUs) of Leisure
World’s January program
on “Ethical Wills” will be
presented by Linda Tebelman, director of bereavement
care and Nonie Akman, bereavement counselor, both of
Montgomery Hospice. Linda
and Nonie sometimes present
this topic in workshop format
rather than as a lecture. So,
if you are interested in taking away ideas and specifics
about this subject, bring your
pen and paper to take notes.
Linda has worked
at the hospice for six years,
and is a licensed clinical social worker. Originally from
Michigan, Linda has worked
with grieving families and
individuals for more than 30
years, including 10 years in
private practice. She also has
worked for various human
services agencies helping
people cope with loss and
grief.
Nonie is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins
University with a master’s
in community counseling.
She is a licensed professional counselor and has
worked at Montgomery
Linda Tebelman
Nonie Akman
Hospice as a bereavement
counselor since 2011. Additionally, she works with
cancer patients and their
families and leads support
groups to help them deal with
this serious, life-threatening
disease. Her previous experi-
ences include interviewing
Holocaust survivors for the
Shoah Foundation, working
with an adoption agency, and
running her own business
capturing oral histories for
family purposes.
Their presentation
on “Ethical Wills,” will
explain the idea of formally,
or informally, passing on to
children and grandchildren
wisdom you have gained
during your life by sharing
not only how you made the
most of successes and joys,
but also how you coped
with disappointments and
sorrows.
The subject of ethical wills is not a new concept,
but it has recently gained attention as one of the tools a
person, in a hospice situation
or not, may use to pass on
more than worldly treasures

Rossmoor Camera Club Members Compete
through the lens of Stu Lillard and Julie Thomas
After several
weeks of holiday eating
and celebrating, the Rossmoor Camera Club will
warm the cold days with an
old fashioned competition,
club member against club
member, one contending
against another, each seeking the rich prize of knowing that his/her photograph
is better than someone else’s
photograph in the eyes of
the judge. On Jan. 22 at
7 PM in Clubhouse II, a
“battle royal” will occur
with the theme of Open
(anything goes). Robert J.
(Bob) Leonard, of Deale
on the Chesapeake Bay is
the judge.
In order for the
producers of the competition to record the print
titles and load the digital
images into the computer,
the deadline for entering
the competition is Saturday,
Jan. 19 at midnight. Remember, this weekend is a
holiday and inaugural time
which may require hours
of TV viewing and may
handicap the producers in
their work schedules. The
club cannot afford to pay
overtime rates.
Please send an
email message to [email protected]
and include the titles of
prints and digital entries.
Remember, a total of four
photos for the entire competition and a total of three
in either category, print or
digital. Lesser numbers
may also be entered. Be
sure to include your level
of competition as general or
advanced. Example: Mar-
tha Washington (advanced)
is submitting two prints
and two digital images for
the Open competition on
Jan. 22. (Print) “Husband
on a Horse before Battle”
or (Digital) MWashington
George at the Continental
Congress in Philadelphia.

attachments, use only first
initial, last name, space, and
title.jpg. Remember to attach the photo to the email.
Club members
and visitors who do not
have entries to submit are
encouraged to attend and
watch this “free-for-all”
razzle-dazzle which will
determine the “king of the
hill” in photographic mudwrestling. As Ralph Ellison
might have paraphrased,
“Who knows but that, on
the lower frequencies, I
photograph for you?”
In February, as
the cold wind and snow
swirl about us, the club
will hold a second Tuesday
program, Feb. 12, a Sunday
afternoon Photo Matinee on
Feb. 17 with Richard Bambach (From Canterbury to
Killarney, to Inverness,
Poor Little Tree. Photo by Julie Thomas.
to the Cotswolds), and a
night photography competition on Feb. 26 with
Steve Gottlieb as judge.
Night photography is defined as an outdoor image
with no lighting from the
sun. Natural lighting can
come from the moon, stars,
volcanoes, lightening, and
artificial lighting from flash,
lanterns, street lights, fire.
No sunrises or sunsets are
permitted.
Go see Bob Dargel’s prints which are hanging in Clubhouse II in the
gallery space through January and February, and each
club member is reminded to
change his/her single photo
in Clubhouse I on the first
Thursday, Feb. 7 from 10
- 11 am.

EDUCATION
NEW – Practical Logic: The instructor will
use a plain English, non-mathematical approach to
learn the basics of both inductive and deductive logic
and understand why Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes
confused the two. Participants will cover: why Ancient
Greeks revered logic and rhetoric above all other
subjects; multiple shapes of logical arguments; signal
words for reasons/conclusions; avoiding ambiguity
and vagueness; denotation vs. connotation; using
analogies/figurative language precisely; answering/
rebutting analogies; avoiding informal fallacies/emotional appeals; constructing logical definitions/avoiding
circularity; formulating and testing hypotheses/using
“The Scientific Method”; cause and effect logic; proper
sampling and generalizing techniques; classification
charts vs. outlines vs. methods of organization; three
kinds of averages/when statistics lie and distort; the
four classical “Standard Form” statements; connections
between Standard Forms: The Square of Opposition;
constructing valid syllogisms; testing syllogisms by
using both rules and diagrams; constructing lengthy
syllogism chains; molecular (and, or, if—then) logic;
examining/analyzing/refuting classical Greek dilemmas/molecular chains; and separating truth from
validity. Finally, to make Logic really come alive,
participants have some fun applying learned patterns to
playing logical games (such as Nim and Mastermind)
and solving logical puzzles. Participatory “game show”
formats will be used with prizes awarded to successful
game players and puzzle solvers. There is no required
outside reading, and all materials will be supplied by
your instructor. Mike Stoller, a new L.W. resident, has
taught multiple logic, world literature, grammar, drama,
sociology, and science fiction/future studies courses for
the Christopher Wren Society’s over-55 program on the
William and Mary Campus. He is the author of a logic
middle school textbook, a middle school anthology of
stories and plays, and a National Library of Poetry

Fun and Fancy Notes
By Phyllis Lovett, www.funandfancytheatregroup.org
Monthly Shows: Jan. 2: In spite of a myriad
of problems, such as constant traveling for work and
an unbelievable cold, Nena McMahill directed this
monthly show. Thank you Nena. Feb. 6: Another
trooper, Jean McGoldrick, is directing our Valentine show. Jean often announces that she holds very
few rehearsals and this may be a “plus” in your
busy life. Call Jean (301-438-2535) if you want to
participate in this fun. March 6: As you may recall,
F&F donates toward scholarship funds annually to
Montgomery College students majoring in the acting
arts. In return, these students come to entertain us.
We are eagerly anticipating their return this March.
April 3: This show is in the development process.
May 1: Rock and Roll Review. When you think of
Dick Clark, known as the world’s oldest teenager,
and Don Cornelius, engineer of the ever-popular Soul
Train, what comes to mind? The latest dance steps?
The songs? The spotlight on the talented artists?
The really cool hairstyles and fashions? Whatever
it is that you conjure up from those wonderful days
of rock’n’roll, that is what Pat McConnell and Stan
Jones want in Fun and Fancy’s presentation of the
Rock and Roll Review show in May. So many art-
ists; so many songs! Nothing coming to mind? How
about Fats Domino’s “Blueberry Hill,” Elvis Presley’s
“Jailhouse Rock,” the Everly Brothers’ “All I have
to Do is Dream” or the Marvelettes’ “Please Mr.
Postman”? All our favorites from the 50s and 60s
era, whether it be the single artists, the couples, the
groups or the bands, will be considered for this show.
For a popular selection of songs from these years,
Google 50s 60s music and find a treasure chest of
hundreds of tunes you thought you forgot. Believe
Pat and Stan when they say it will all come back to
you. Start planning now! Pick a song for a solo or
round up a group to harmonize and croon your tune.
And do not forget the dances! The Twist, the Locomotion, the Stroll, the Jerk the Stripper and so many
more. Dancers: put on your dancin’ shoes, tap your
toes and strut your stuff. Bring the music or recording of you choice to the auditions on Feb. 9 or 16 at
10:30 am in Clubhouse II and help Fun and Fancy
get ready for this Rock and Roll Review. For more
information, call Pat McConnell (301-639-3966) or
Stan Jones (240-715-8158).
If you have show ideas for future shows,
call Fun and Fancy President Aileen Feldman (301-
598-8516).
Annual Spring Play: The board has now
hired Laurie Freed to direct our spring play called
“Social Security” by Andrew Bergman. Auditions are
March 17 and 18 at 1 PM and the third audition on
March 19 at 7 PM. Performances are May 10, 11 and
18 in the evening, and May 19, which is a matinee.
New Communication Idea: The board is
aware that not all our members read our F&F articles.
Recently, we have been informed that some areas
run out of the Leisure World News before members
get a copy. We have been thinking of an additional
way to keep in touch. We have decided to begin
accumulating e-mail addresses from our members.
Then, when we have an important announcement,
we can promptly send you that information. If this
appeals to you, please send your e-mail address to
Jack Bienstock ([email protected]).
Please Help: Jean McGoldrick heads up our
after-show parties and greatly welcomes goodie-gifts
from F&F members. Kindly donate. This is easy. Just
take either a homemade or store-bought item to the
Exercise Room (the closest room to the auditorium)
before attending the show.

Boomers who already know how to play meet
to play Mahjong in Clubhouse II every Wednesday at
7 PM. On the first week of the month, they meet on
Tuesday also at 7 PM. For information contact Donna
Copeland (240-433-0391, [email protected]).
The Weeknight Walkers meet at 5:15 PM at
Clubhouse I each night Monday to Friday for a walk
around the Broadwalk in Montgomery Mutual.
Members of the BB club also meet on Sunday
mornings at 8:30 for longer walks around Leisure World
Boulevard or at an outside location, starting at Arden
Court (off S. Leisure World Boulevard).
We have a member who leads longer walks (for
all residents) that are longer (for one to one and a half
hours) in nearby parks on Fridays. Everyone walks at
their own pace. For information (and directions) or to
arrange transportation, call Dawn Carlisle (301-5987098). Everyone should bring water and those who
wish to will stop for a snack afterwards. If you want
to meet in LW, as a driver or rider, please call Dawn by
Thursday evening. Or meet at the starting place at 1:15
PM. Jan. 18: Carderock Park, Cabin John, MD (20817):
just over the bridge, turn right into the parking lot and
park near the restroom building. Jan. 25: Berma Road,
Potomac, MD: Meet in the parking lot across from
Angler’s Inn on MacArthur Blvd (10801 MacArthur
Blvd.). Feb. 1: Matthew Henson Trail, Silver Spring.
Meet in the parking lot at the back of the Global/Korean
Mission Church (13421 Georgia Ave.) at the corner of
Hewitt and Georgia. Enter the lot from Hewitt. Park at
the back of the lot, nearest to the trail; we will wait at
the semi-circle of benches near the maps.
Some Baby Boomers walk with the local AVA
clubs for longer walks, usually three miles. You can check
Page 33
the Baby Boomer calendar for un-hosted events where
some of these AVA (American Volkssport Association)
walks are listed. You can find more information on the
Baby Boomer Web page.
The Baby Boomer web page (https://sites.
google.com/site/bbclwmd/) has lots of good information: a calendar of “hosted” events and a different
calendar has lots of suggestions for “un-hosted” events
like theater performances, sports venues. If an un-hosted
event catches your eye, send an email to the Baby
Boomer Yahoo group asking if anyone else plans to go.
We are always looking for other activities from
Baby Boomer members. Have any ideas? Our activities committee usually meets at 6 PM right before the
meeting. Come and bring your ideas to us. It is not
necessary to have a majority of the club participate in
any one activity.
We usually meet on the first Sunday of the
month at 7 PM in Clubhouse II. Our next meeting is
Feb. 10 (the second Sunday) at 7 PM.
Baby Boomers, (mostly the younger residents
of Leisure World), are invited to join us. Our dues are
$5 per year. For more information call our president,
Pat Leanza (301-598-4569).

Writers’ Workshop of Leisure World
By Mary Zenchoff
Our group of
writers met on Jan. 3 and
discussed our poetry and
prose offerings. Danuta
Montorfano read a poem
on life and death, describing the cycles that
we go through. In the
end, Mother Earth receives us back, sooner or
later. Her dream is that
elements of her body will
linger, as a snowflake or
a pearl of morning dew
after she departs.
Warren Eister
presented us with a comprehensive look at the
efforts of the G20 group
of nations to achieve the
world’s financial equilibrium. Both the economic
and the spiritual goals of
Going It
Alone Club
(GIAC) The Social
Club for
Singles
by Pat Connelly
The annual dinner in Clubhouse I’s
Crystal Ballroom has been
scheduled for Saturday,
Feb. 16. There will be
a cash bar from 5:30 to
6:30 PM, followed by
dinner. Entrée choices
are salmon, parmesan
chicken or prime beef.
Call Norma Flaherty to
sign up or come to the
SNL in Clubhouse II, 6 to
7 PM. The Leisure World
Chorale will entertain us.
And do not worry; there
will be room for all who
wish to enjoy this lovely
evening.
The Going It
Alone Club is a social
club for singles living in
Leisure World. Regular
Saturday evening gettogethers provide an atmosphere of congenial
enjoyment and friendship.
Membership fee is just $7
per year. If you would like
to speak with a member,
you can visit us on a Saturday evening at Clubhouse
II at 6:30.
nations are included in
Warren’s essay.
Norman Ochs
delighted us with a
charming account of the
telephone in the early
1930’s as well as a system of tricking the telephone operator into returning as many nickels
as possible from a supposedly failed telephone
call. This last trick was
labeled as “telephone
slots” by Norman and
his friends, with the most
nickels returned totaling
12 nickels! Larceny at its
most innocent!
Ron Davis gave
us a humorous and
thoughtful poem on balance, in which he compared the feelings of a
baseball player towards
pitching the ball with
the feelings of the same
baseball player when
he thinks of a woman.
Choosing a bat is different from choosing your
squeeze!
Joe Fickey once
again gave us some insight into the feelings of
a soldier during wartime,
when two soldiers from
opposite countries discover that regardless of
which army they were
in, there is a common
bond. Joe’s conclusion
rang true, when he wrote
“two enemy soldiers,
caught up in the middle
of a war, find it hard to be
enemies.”
Jane Hawes provided us with an amusing tale of a traditional
Christmas dinner where
the guests were served
traditional Chinese food.
All went well until the
vegetarian daughter of
one of the guests mixed
all the entrees together,
complete with sauce,
and stashed them in the
refrigerator for the next
day’s meal. She was
omitted from the next
year’s guest list!
Carlos Montorfano’s poem on empowerment gave us an inter-
esting commentary on
the interplay of passion
and rejection in a love
relationship. As always
Carlos makes us smile at
life’s ironies.
Joan Lees provided us with personal
reflections on an article
dealing with an innovation where animals are
read to by children in a
library. The role reversal
is lovely to read about as
we see animals peacefully relaxing under the
spell of children’s voices. A fascinating article,
Joan!
Jean
Featherston surprised us with a
change in the narrator of
her Civil War story. Instead of the generals telling the story, Jean chose
to have the wife of the
general present the tale
of blood and mayhem, as
well as her love for her
new husband, General
Featherston. The Civil
War told from a woman’s
perspective! An exciting
change, Jean!
Mary Zenchoff
continued the saga of
Waltruda, who in this
episode has a job as a
maid on a cruise ship.
Will she get sexy new
uniforms, does she escape the grasp of Old
Yellow Tooth, her new
boss, and is her archenemy, Mrs. Vandermouse
on the same cruise? All
will be revealed at the
next meeting.
Our next meeting
is on Jan. 17 at 11:30 am in
Clubhouse I. Each member can choose the topic.
Please bring 12 copies to
the meeting.

Chess Predictions for 2013
By Bernie Ascher and Pat Leanza
With only two weeks gone in the year, it is
time for chess predictions. In fact, they are overdue.
So in defiance of the conventional wisdom never to
make predictions—especially about the future—here
they are.
1.) The chessboard will remain unchanged
this year with 64 squares, arranged in eight rows and
eight columns and alternating in dark and light colors.
2.) The chess pieces will continue to represent
kings, queens, bishops and knights, rather than
lawyers, accountants, economists and urologists.
3.) Next year’s chess predictions will also
come late due to procrastination.
4.) The International Chess Federation
will urge the International Olympic Committee for
inclusion of chess in the Olympic Games.
5.) The International Olympic Committee
will continue to reject the request of the International
Chess Federation.
Members of the Leisure World Chess Club
have no illusions of competing in the Olympic
Games—either individually or as a team. LW chess
players are not infallible, as shown in the game il-
lustrated on this page (courtesy of chesslab.com). In
this game, it is White’s turn to move. White wins in
three moves. Can you see how?
While you are examining the possibilities, let us remind you that if you are looking for a
stimulating and relaxing game of chess, just drop
by Clubhouse II on Monday, Wednesday or Friday
between 1 and 4 PM. Membership is free and open
to all. Beginners and “rusty” players are welcome.
For more information, call Club President Bernie
Ascher (301-598-8577) or Activities Chairman Pat
Leanza (240-242-4516).
Here is how White won the game. White
began the attack by moving the Queen to g5. Black
moved the Knight at f6 to h7, blocking White’s Pawn
and threatening to capture White’s Queen. White
responded by moving the Queen to g6, checking
Black’s King and leaving the King with only one
legal move—to f8. White then moved the Queen to
f7, checkmate!
Black could have avoided checkmate by
moving the Rook from h8 to f8. This would have
prolonged the game, but Black was still in a precarious

position because of White’s advanced Pawn at h6.
It is time for you to test your own skills. Do
not make predictions. Do not wait for next year. Play
chess now. Cheers!
Leisure World Computer Center
By Roy Rosfeld
Welcome to 2013! The Leisure World Computer Center has been up and running for quite some
time now and we expect to see some bigger and
better things going on at the center. In January, for
example, the center sponsors six Open Labs – these
are times when there are knowledgeable folks on
hand to field your questions. Some are from 9:30
to 11:30 am; others are from 1:30 to 3:30 PM. Take
a look at the calendar on the main door and on the
bulletin board in the center.
In response to some folks, we have two
evening sessions hosted by one of our staff; the first
was Thursday, Jan. 3 and the next one is Wednesday,
Jan. 16. These sessions run from 7:30 to 9:30 PM. As
well, we are exploring the feasibility of having the
center open on one or more Saturdays to accommodate
those folks who are working during the week. Please
let us know if you fall into this category.
Pedestrian Crosswalks
A Reminder from the Security Department
The Security Department receives numerous complaints about
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 hardof-hearing, or visually
impaired; others, due
to physical limitations,
walk slowly. Motor-
ists 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 Rightof-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 approach-
ing from the rear shall not
overtake and pass such a
stopped vehicle.
Leisure World News Deadlines

Tennis Club Plans for 2013
By Fred Shapiro, President
While it is winter outside, tennis club members
continue to play indoors and plan for the coming season.
If you are now a member of the club or would like to
commence playing the game, the club is planning early
spring activities to bring us together. Of course, this
includes the segment of the club that plays Pickleball,
even in this cold weather.
Plans are being made for a fun competitive
and social function May 5 from 4 to 6 PM using the
tennis courts and the table area outside of Clubhouse
II for refreshments. The games will randomly match
Round Robin players with advanced players to compete
in a pattern that is now used by the Round Robin. The
Spring Tennis Break will focus on making everyone
welcome regardless of how well they can move or
play and providing for a fun experience. The refreshments will include pizza. For further information or
to participate in the planning, contact Siggie Kaeufer
(301-460-8999). More news will be forthcoming as
we get closer to the opening of the season.
Another activity anticipated will be a welcome
to new players. An effort is being made to bring a tennis
pro on site to help new players or those returning to
the game after a long absence. If interested, let Natalie
Brodsky (301-598-2813) know.
Mark your calendars for the first club meeting – Thursday, April 4
at 7 PM in Clubhouse II.
Our annual trip to Allenberry Resorts in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, will take place in August
with a show, dinners and lots of tennis. As usual, Morty
Davis is handling this event. More to come as we get
closer to April.
Last but not least is the effort that the club
will put into organizing a group site for the Internet
to advise members of what is happening throughout
the season. If we do not have your e-mail address
now, please contact Susan Weiss, Membership chair,
and provide it to her. She can be reached at weissjs@
verizon.net.
Any question or suggestions? Do not hesitate
to contact Fred Shaprio (301-598-7949).
To everyone, a healthy and happy new year.
Safety is a Priority A Message from Security
The safety and
protection of our residents is always a primary
concern at Leisure World.
Management is currently
reviewing our safety procedures and offers the
following suggestions.
Each resident
should provide a current
entry door key for their
unit to Security, to be
kept at our main gate. All
keys are specially coded
and locked in a cabinet,
safe and secured. A special chart is required to
identify to which unit the
key belongs. Therefore,
a lost key would not be
identifiable by anyone
other than Leisure World
Security personnel.
Permission to enter the unit in your absence
is also very important! In
an emergency, it could
save further damage from
occurring. Let us say that
a resident is away and a
neighbor notices water
coming from that unit
into theirs. There may
be a leaking toilet, a sink
overflowing, a condensate
line back up or any one of
many other scenarios. If
a key is at the main gate
and we have permission to
enter, then valuable time
is saved that could prevent
a real disaster.
What if you are
in distress and have called
for assistance, but the
front door is locked and
you are unable to reach
it? Without a key, the door
or lock may need to be
broken to get to you. If
on file at security, the key
can be brought to your unit
saving time, money and
maybe your life. Help us
protect you!
If your unit has
a storm door, do not lock
it. The storm door would
have to be broken before
getting to the door your
key opens, generating
more cost to you. Also,
locking your storm door
could create a problem
in the event of a fire. Any
delay in getting in or out of
your unit in an emergency
situation could become
critical.
Please help us
protect you by following
these simple suggestions.
Dining Room Chairs for
Sale From the E&R Department
The chairs previously used in the Stein
Room are now on sale for
$15 each. They are wood
with green trim.
There are 50
chairs available. You
may view one in the E
& R office at Clubhouse
I. Pick up times will be
arranged; payment can be
made by cash or check. Call 301-5981300 if you are interested
in purchasing one or more
of these chairs.
Bicyclists
Traffic
Rules
Bicyclists are required to ride as near to the
right side of the pavement
as practical. All vehicular
traffic regulations must be
adhered to, i.e., stop, yield
signs, pedestrian right-ofway, etc. Then designated
arm/hand gestures are
required when making
left, right turns and stops.

Bereavement Support Group – New Session Begins Tuesday, Feb. 19
From the Inter-Faith Chapel
A new Bereavement Support Group
series, sponsored by the
Inter-Faith Chapel, will
begin an eight-week session on Tuesday, Feb. 19
at 2 PM.
Bereavement
following the death of
a loved one may lead to
physical and/or emotional health concerns. The
purpose of the group is to
provide mutual support in
gaining knowledge about
coping with loss and finding new meaning in life
that may be experienced
following the loss of a
loved one.
You are invited
to attend these meetings
if you have lost a spouse,
sibling, close family
Shredding Availability
Consumer fraud
and identity theft are
becoming an epidemic
in our society. Therefore,
management has contracted with the Shred-It
Company to provide
residents with a safe
and secure manner by
which they may have
their personal documents
destroyed. This service is
available on site, free of
charge, on a regular basis.
Secure, locked
consoles are located in
the lobbies of the Admin-
istration Building, both
clubhouses and PPD.
The consoles, which are
three feet high and 20
inches wide, have a 1-1/2
inch slot that is capable of
accepting up to 400 pieces
of paper at a time. Once
papers are deposited in
the console, they fall into
a blue bag, which cannot
be removed except by
unlocking the console.
No one will see or touch
your documents after
they have been placed
in the locked shredding
container. Every week,
a Shred-It representative
picks up the blue bags
from inside the consoles,
seals them and transports
them to a mobile shredding truck in the Leisure
World parking lot. The
bags are emptied behind
a locked security screen
into a shredding hopper,
which shreds everything
into fine confetti.
Please note that
staples, paper clips, and
binder clips do not need
to be removed. However,

Some Tips for a Car Emergency Supply Kit
From the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee
Emergencies can happen at any time and help
may not be available immediately, especially if you are
in your car. More residents are still working away from
the home and spending more time in their cars. Residents
should take responsibility and initiative in having a car
emergency supply kit. The accompanying list provides
the basic essentials needed for an emergency in your car.
• Water for one to three days—eight-16-ounce
bottles contain a gallon.
• Non-perishable food for one to three days.
• First aid kit and manual.
• Two to three day supply of prescription and
over-the-counter medications.
• Two flashlights and extra batteries.
• Flares, jumper cables, tire gauge and jack.
• Cell phone and important contacts.
• Routine car maintenance up-to-date.
• Fuel tank at least half full.
• Blanket, snow shovel and other seasonal items
such as a bag of sand or rock salt during the winter season.
• Solid piece of red or white material to attach
to your car to signal you need help.
• Include other items that you consider essential
to your health and safety.
• Review kit supplies quarterly and update when
necessary.
Other sources of information can be found in
the following: Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA.gov), American Red Cross (redcross.org), Leisure

Ten Steps To Take Before Hiring Domestic Help
The Department of
Security would like to offer
10 steps that you should
take before hiring domestic
help, whether this is a
house cleaner, registered
nurse, aide/caretaker or
companion. We ask you
to consider the following,
as we do not want to see
our residents fall victim
to someone’s dishonesty
or greed. Also, we ask
you to remember that the
resident is responsible
for the conduct of their
employee while they are
in the community.
1. Ask for references. Also ask the prospective employee to sign
a release so that you can
call and question their
former employers. Often,
without a written release,
former employers will give
only the dates of employment, as they are afraid of
answering honestly due
to legal actions, which
the prospective employee
could take without written
authorization.
2. Ask the individual
if they are working for
someone else in the community. If they are, call the
other resident and find out
if they are satisfied with the
individual.
3. Ask your family
to sit in when you interview the prospective employee. Maybe they will
come up with a question
that you haven’t thought
of and it is always good to
have another person’s opinion. Additionally, they can
look out for your welfare

to help prevent an unscrupulous individual is hired.
4. Ask the prospective employee to go to the
Police Department and
obtain a copy of their arrest
record. If they have never
been arrested the record
will so state.
5. Check to see if
the individual works for a
reputable company. Contact several companies and
compare services provided,
qualifications of the individuals 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.

Na’Amat USA RBZ Club
By Althea Steinberg
Na’Amat USA
is an organization that
has an elaborate mission.
Through its advocacy on
behalf of women’s rights
and other causes in the
U.S.A., Na’Amat USA is
a social action organization. Through its support
of Na’Amat programs in
Israel, it is a social service
organization. Na’Amat
USA is also a social
organization that engenders a spirit of friendship
among its members. Start
2013 off by learning more
about the programs and
activities that bring our
local RBZ club to fulfill
its fund raising goals so
that our chapter can better
support our sister organization, Na’Amat Israel.
The January general meeting was well attended and well received.
Guest speaker Sheila
Kaufman spoke about
the women of Turkey
and Turkish cuisine. She
shared her passion for
the richly flavored and
elegant cooking that has
been reflected in the 26
cookbooks she has authored. Everyone attending enjoyed the refreshments, the social time
and the very interesting
speaker.
The executive
board meets on the third
Tuesday of each month.
At these meetings, we
discuss plans for upcoming events. Everyone is
encouraged to join us
on Tuesday, Jan. 15 for
our next board meeting
in Clubhouse I at 10 am.
New ideas as well as
new people are always
welcome.
There is no a general meeting in February.
Tribute cards are
an excellent way to raise
the necessary funds to support Na’Amat, and attain
donor credit at the same
time. Na’Amat has cards
to honor all occasions
from “congratulations”
for a special event, to
memorial cards to express
your sympathy. Each card
is $3.50 if purchased and
sent by you or for an additional stipend ($4.50) if
Harriet Chaiken, Tribute
Card chairperson, sends
it for you. Full donor
credit is given for each
card. Contact Harriet at
(240-560-7487). We appreciate your helping raise
funds towards our goals
for Na’Amat.
This is the last
call for ordering the 2013
Mah Jongg Cards through
Na’Amat. The deadline
for submission is Friday,
Jan. 25. This is another excellent way to earn donor
credit. Regular sized cards
are $7 and the large print
is $8. To order, contact:

L.W. Golf
As Reported by Rita Molyneaux
This is a letter from
a “former” golfer who no
longer can play, but who
has reflected on his years in
golf and would like the rest
of us to think about how we
approach the game.
Dear Younger Me:
“I can’t play golf
anymore. I tried to swing
the club the other day, but
my body wouldn’t cooperate. The best I can do now
is sometimes take walks
on the course, but my eyes
aren’t as good as they used
to be so I don’t see much. I
have a lot of time to sit and
think now, and I often think
about the game.
“It was my favorite game. I played most of
my adult life. Thousands of
rounds, thousands of hours
practicing. As I look back,
I guess I had a pretty good
time at it. But now that I
can’t do it anymore, I wish
I had done it differently.
“It’s funny, but
with all the time I spent
playing golf, I never thought
I was a real golfer. I never
felt good enough to really
belong out there. It doesn’t
make much sense, since I
scored better than average
and a lot of people envied
my game, but I always felt
that if I was just a little better
or a little more consistent,
then I’d feel really good.
I’d be satisfied with my
game. But I never was. It
was always “One of these
days I’ll get it” or “One
day I’ll get there” and
now here I am. I can’t play
anymore, and I never got
there.“I met a whole lot of
different people out on the
course. That was one of the
best things about the game.
But aside from my regular
partners and a few others, I
don’t feel like I got to know
many of those people very
well. I know they didn’t
really get to know me. At
times they probably didn’t
want to. I was pretty occupied with my own game
most of the time and didn’t
have much time for anyone
else, especially if I wasn’t
playing well.
“So why am I
writing you this letter
anyway, just to complain?
Not really. Like I said, my
golfing experience wasn’t
that bad. But it could have
been so much better, and I
see that so clearly now. I
want to tell you, so you can
learn from it. I don’t want
you getting to my age and
feeling the same regrets I’m
feeling now.
“I wish, I wish.
Sad words, I suppose, but
necessary. I wish I could
have played the game with
more joy, more freedom. I
was always so concerned
with “doing it right” that
I never seemed to be able
to enjoy just doing it at all.
I was so hard on myself,
never satisfied, always
expecting more. Who was
I trying to please? Certainly
not myself, because I never
did. If there were people
whose opinions were important enough to justify all
that self-criticism, I never
met them.
“I wish I could
have been a better playing
partner. I wasn’t a bad person to be with, really, but I
wish I had been friendlier
and gotten to know people
better. I wish I could have
laughed and joked more
and given people more
encouragement. I probably
would have gotten more
from them, and I would
have loved that. There were
a few bad apples over the
years, but most of the people
I played with were friendly,
polite, and sincere. They
really just wanted to make
friends and have a good
time. I wish I could have
made more friends and had
a better time.
“I’m inside a lot
now and I miss the beauty
of the outdoors. For years
when I was golfing I walked
through some of the most
beautiful places on earth,
and yet I don’t feel I really saw them. Beautiful
landscapes, trees, flowers,
animals, the sky, and the
ocean – how could I have
missed so much? What was
I thinking of that was so
important – my grip, my
back swing, my stance?
Sure, I needed to think
about those sometimes, but
so often as to be oblivious
to so much beauty? And all
the green – the wonderful,
deep, lush color of green!
My eyes are starting to fail. I
wish I had used them better
so I would have more vivid
memories now.
“So what is it that
I’m trying to say? I played
the type of game that I
thought I should play, to
please the type of people
that I thought I should
please. But it didn’t work.
My game was mine to play,
but I gave it away. It’s a
wonderful game. Please,
don’t lose yours. Play a
game that you want to play.
Play a game that gives you

joy and satisfaction and
makes you a better person
to your family and friends.
Play with enthusiasm, play
with freedom. Appreciate
the beauty of nature and the
people around you. Realize
how lucky you are to be
able to do it. All too soon
your time will be up, and
you won’t be able to play
anymore. Play a game that
enriches your life.

Preparing For Emergency Power Outages
At any given time, power outages may occur
within the community. They may be localized or widespread. Depending on the severity of the situation,
outages may last for a short time or for an extended
period of time that could last for several days.
PEPCO is immediately notified when outages occur. However, PEPCO may not always be
able to provide a time frame for when power will be
restored and this may cause an undue hardship on
the residents of Leisure World. With this in mind, it
is recommended all residents be adequately prepared
for emergency situations.
When electrical power is lost, the
following appliances/equipment will not function: 1)
Lights/electrical outlets, 2) Air conditioners/furnaces,
3) Refrigerators/freezers, 4) Portable telephones, 5)
Televisions/“Cable TV,” 6) Automatic garage doors
7) Stoves/Ovens/Microwaves (Note: This list is not
all-inclusive). Remember, to prevent food spoilage,
your refrigerator and freezer doors should be kept
closed as much as possible. Also, it is strongly suggested that at least one telephone in your home be
permanently wired, and/or that a fully charged cell
phone is available at all times.
Emergency Kit: An Emergency Kit should
be kept in readiness at all times. Suggested items to
include in this kit are: 1) Flashlight(s) – fully charged
with fresh/extra sets of batteries, 2) First Aid Kit, 3)
Extra food – nonperishable, 4) Small amount of extra
cash, 5) Non-electric can opener, 6) Battery operated
radio, 7) List of emergency contact personnel and
phone numbers, 8) Additional medication on hand
(Check medicines regularly to ensure that they are
updated and have not expired).
Personal Emergency Plan: It is strongly
recommended that each
resident have a Personal

ate a potentially dangerous situation.
Create A Support System: Have a place to
go where you can stay warm or cool. 1) Make arrangements to stay with a friend in the community until the
situation is corrected or you can safely return home.
However, if your friend is without power an alternate
place to stay should be established. 2) (Alternate
plan) Stay with a friend or relative living outside
the community who has power. 3) Inform relatives
and/or close friends you will not be at your home,
but will be staying elsewhere until the situation is
rectified. 4) If you elect to stay at your home, have a
relative or friend check on your welfare periodically.
Before leaving your unit, be sure all nonessential appliances (specifically kitchen appliances)
and lights are turned off.
The Leisure World Community has no Trust
Properties (i.e., Clubhouses, Administration Building,
etc.) equipped to accommodate individuals overnight
in the event of a power outage. These facilities are
just as susceptible to power outages as any other
building in Leisure World.
When power outages do occur, be assured
that the proper authorities have been contacted and
are making every attempt to correct the situation.
These suggestions and recommendations
have been provided to assist residents in making an
informed decision when an unforeseen power outage occurs.

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

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

Beginner and
Advanced Tai Chi: A
must for seniors! Tai
Chi builds strength in
muscles and bones, promotes a healthy heart
and is fun and easy to do.
It improves endurance,
flexibility, breathing and
circulation. The class
begins with 30 minutes
of stretching and muscle
strengthening exercises,
which promote greater
agility, better posture and
strengthens muscles. This
is followed by meditation
for 10 minutes and Tai Chi
for 20 minutes. Tai Chi is
the best way to improve
balance and coordination, thereby decreasing
the risk of falling and
fractures. This Tai Chi
program was created and
taught here for 15 years
by Grand Master Jin Pal
Kim. In his absence, the
instructor is Steve McCleary, a student of Grand
Master Kim for six years
and a practitioner of Tai
Chi for over 20 years.

Training Workout: This
basic strength and circuit
work out is perfect for
those days when you want
to work everything in a
short period of time. This
circuit involves alternating a low impact cardio
exercise with classic combination strength moves,
so you get the benefits of
both cardio and strength
in simple workout. This
workout is great for beginner or intermediate
exercisers. Due to the
lack of rest during circuit
training, exercisers maintain elevated heart rates
for the entire period of
exercise. Exercisers gain
muscle through resistance
training, increase cardiovascular endurance and
burn a higher number of
calories. Circuit training
can be used to achieve
an increase in lean body
mass and a decrease in
weight. The instructor is
Jate Pongsaensook. Questions? See Jate in the Fit-
ness Center at Clubhouse
II. Class meets Mondays
and Wednesdays, Jan.
21-Feb. 27, 6:30 am. Fee:
$144. Register: Clubhouse II.

TRAINING - 9 a.m.-4 p.m.,
Sunday - Tuesday, Feb. 3, 4,
5;: JSSA, 6123 Montrose Road,
Rockville. Hospice and Transitions Programs. Do you want
to make a real difference in the
life of a patient or family struggling with a life-limiting illness
by volunteering your time and
compassion? After specialized
training, volunteers offer muchneeded emotional, spiritual and
social support to people in their
last weeks and months of life.
They provide companionship,
practical support and respite
care for families. Volunteers
are integral members of JSSA
Hospice’s interdisciplinary care
team. Hospice volunteers must
be at least 18 years old and,
after completing an intensive,
specialized hospice volunteer
training course, must commit
to volunteering a minimum of
two hours a week. We have
found it beneficial for individuals to wait one year following
the death of a loved one before
becoming a volunteer with
JSSA Hospice and Transitions.
Facilitator: Amy Goott, MSW.
Applications and interviews
Page 47
will be required for those
interested in the volunteer
training. No walk-ins accepted. For more information,

services for JSSA Hospice
