Mendelssohn Piano Trio Brings Its Repertoire of Exceptional Chamber Music
From the E&R Department
The Foundation of Leisure
World and the E&R Department
are pleased to bring Mendelssohn
Piano Trio to Leisure World on
Saturday, June 16 at 7 PM for a
special performance in Clubhouse
II. Tickets are $8 per person and
go on sale at 8:30 am on Tuesday,
May 15 in both clubhouses.
For the past 15 years, Mendelssohn Piano Trio has been thrilling
audiences in the U.S. and abroad,
performing with that rare combination of powerful individual talent
and tight-knit collaboration that is
the hallmark of a truly exceptional
chamber music ensemble. Their extensive repertoire embraces works
from all periods of the genre’s histo-
ry. As well, ensemble members are
superb soloists in their own right.
Currently, the Mendelssohn Piano
Trio is Ensemble-in-Residence
for Washington, D.C.’s Embassy
Series. Pianist Ya-Ting Chang is
from Taiwan, violinist Peter Sirotin
is from Russia and cellist Fiona
Thompson is from England.
Chang graduated from the Peabody
Institute of the Johns Hopkins University with BM and MM in piano
performance. She is a member of
piano faculty at Messiah College in
Grantham, Penn., and was on the
faculty at Columbia Union College
in Takoma Park,. She has toured in
the U.S. and abroad.
Since his debut at the age of 14,
performing Paganini Concerto No.
Mendelssohn Piano Trio
1 with Kharkiv philharmonic in his
native Ukraine, violinist Sirotin has
performed hundreds of concerts as
a chamber musician, soloist and
concertmaster in Europe, North
America and Asia. After graduating
with honors from Moscow’s Central
Music School, Sirotin became the
youngest member of the “Moscow
Soloists” chamber ensemble. He
has also studied in Moscow Conservatory and Peabody Institute at
Johns Hopkins University.
As cellist of the Mendelssohn
Piano Trio, Thompson has become
known among devoted audiences
for what one Washington Post critic
has described as her “eloquent,”
“radiant” and “unfailingly handsome” sound. She began her cello
studies at the age of seven in her
native England, and over a musical
career that spans nearly 20 years,
she has performed across the U.S.,
Europe and Asia.

Fireside Forum Shows Hubble Space
Telescope Pictures
By Jonas Weiss
Astronomer Dr. H. John
Wood (pictured) will show and
explain a selection of beautiful
pictures taken by the Hubble space
telescope in a Fireside Forum program on Sunday, June 3 at 2:30
PM in Clubhouse II. Orbiting high
above the turbulence of the earth’s
atmosphere, the Hubble telescope
is providing spectacular views of
astronomical objects never before
seen in such detail. The steady imag-
es allow this medium-size telescope
to reach the faintest galaxies ever
seen. Some of these galaxies are as
early as two billion years after the
Big Bang, in our 13.7 billion year
old universe. These images will
demonstrate the power and utility
of the Hubble telescope.
Dr. Wood is an astronomer
and engineer for the Optics Branch
at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight
Center. Since June 1990, he has
been optics lead engineer on the

LWCC Board Highlights Board Meeting of April 24, 2012
At the April board
meeting the following business was discussed.
Ms. Cronin noted
several changes in committee membership as part of
her remarks. She asked the
representative from Mutual
10 to report on the fire in
that mutual which fortunately was not as serious as it
might have been. The lesson
learned is to make certain
that no flammable materials
are stored near a fuse box;
this includes paper. She also
had Richard Schultz, chief
of Security, step forward
to share the commendation
made by the Maryland General Assembly to our security
department thanking them
for their work in keeping our
community safe.
Ms. Rabinow, chair
of the Emergency Preparedness Committee reported on
their work and the planned
fair that will be held soon.
The committee is inviting
the various mutuals to send
a representative to attend a
presentation on what mutuals
can do to help all residents be
prepared for an emergency.
Mr. Tardiff, chair
of the Committee to Review
the Advisory Committee Process, stated that he expects
the final draft of a proposed
“guidelines” document to be
ready by mid-May.
Sen. Teitelbaum
chair of the Medical Center
Oversight Committee, gave
a report. The board voted
to plan a special meeting,
which is expected to become
a closed session to hear an
update on the status of the
negotiations. This will be
done in accordance with the
Maryland HOA Act which
allows for closed sessions
when dealing with contract
negotiations.
Mr. Eisenhaur,
chair of the Community
Name Committee, shared a
survey form and accompanying information on changing
or not changing the name of
our community. This information should be distributed
to all residents (owners and
renters) as well as absentee
owners in early May 2012.
This survey is an opinion
poll and not a vote. Only the
Board of Directors can make
a decision on the community
name. There was an article
about the survey in the May
1, 2012 issue of Leisure
World News.
The Landscape
Committee gave a report
which recommended that
LW request bids for a new
landscape and snow removal
contract. They also reported
that the current contractor,
McFall & Berry, had requested a three-year extension
Recordings of the LWCC Executive Committee
and the LWCC Board of Directors meetings
will be shown on Channel 954. The broadcast schedule
is as follows:
LWCC Board of Directors: Monday, May 14 at 7 PM.
LWCC Executive Committee: Monday, May 28 at 7 PM.
with a two to three percent
increase in the second and
third years, and offered some
complimentary services as
an inducement for LW not
to go out for bids. The Board
of Directors voted to hire
McFall & Berry instead of
using a competitive bidding
process. Management was
asked to work with McFall
and Berry to do more to create a “green environment”
(ecologically friendly) and
to use less harmful chemicals
in their work.
Ms. Penn, chair of
the Education and Recreation
Committee, presented a motion to extend the contract
with Motivational Fitness,
the company that provides
the trainers at the fitness
center, for another three years
at a cost of $53,060. for the
first year, with a two percent
annual increase. The board
agreed to this extension.
Mr. Taylor, the
chair of the Marketing Committee, reported that the
committee expects to issue
a marketing plan prior to the
May 2012 board meeting so
that there can be discussion
at that time.
Ms. King, assistant
general manager, made a presentation to the board relating
to the renovation of the Ad-
ministration Building. Board
members were asked to send
comments and questions
to Mr. Lucas, chair of the
Community Planning Committee, so that the committee
has input from the board as
it continues to work towards
making its recommendation
to the board.
The Education and
Recreation Committee and
Community Planning Committee put forth a motion
for a feasibility study for
installing windows in the
existing fitness center. That
motion failed.
Mr. Flannery, general manager, presented
several (consultant) proposals for a systematic review
of the entire Leisure World
of Maryland Corporation,
for discussion at the May 29
board meeting.
The board acknowledged the report from
the Community Planning
Committee regarding their
prioritization of proposed
Trust property projects.
The various projects will be
brought individually to the
board for action.
The board approved an amount not to
exceed $10,000 for the Governing Documents Review
Committee to hire an outside
attorney to assist them with
their work. This money will
come from the 2012 LWMC
Page 3
operating budget. A motion
passed directing the committee to submit a detailed report
including the work plan, time
line and approach at the May
29 board meeting.
A board member
noted that there are several
websites, which relate to our
community other than the
official site, lwmc.com, and
the board should be aware of
them.
Mr. Flannery made
a presentation about a program to invite Wounded
Warriors to play golf on our
course at specified times
from May through October
2012. Residents who are
interested in supporting this
program are encouraged to
contact the golf pro.
During the general
Open Forum at the end of
the meeting, Mr. Penn commented on his perception
of being cut off in trying to
make a comment earlier in
the meeting. Ms. Braswell
asked if emails sent to the
group board email could be
part of the board packets.
This will be addressed at a
future board meeting. Mr.
Harding asked if the board
is required to send any contracts out to bid. There is no
such resolution at the current
time. Mr. Marks asked about
the renewals of authorization
from FHA regarding loans.
Continued from page 2
above, which will compare
the Leisure World of Maryland Corporation’s position
in the market. In addition,
a similar comparison will
be included as part of the
presentation addressing employee benefits.
Ther e are no
cost-of-living adjustments
(COLA’s) proposed in the
budget. Employees will be
evaluated by their supervisors on an annual basis. Any
recommended changes in
pay will be based on performance and/or changes in job
requirements.
Funding for increases awarded during the
year will be provided by a
general salary fund. The
funding level for 2013 is
estimated at two percent
of the total wages/benefits
budgeted. The 2012 level
is two percent. Management
will provide periodic reports
to the Budget & Finance
Committee, the Executive
Committee, and the Board of
Directors regarding the status
of the use of the salary fund.

Leisure World Kiwanis
By Chuck Lavin (301-598-0463)
The awards banquet for the Blake and Einstein High School’s Key
clubs is May 24, 6:30 PM in
Clubhouse I. The banquet
and program costs $22. All
Kiwanians are invited to attend. Contact Marty or Syra
Weiss for more information
(301-598-6952).
Congratulations
to Elaine Noss and Jack
Colvis for their outstanding leadership in arranging
for our 45th Charter Night.
It was well attended. Announced at the meeting
were our Kiwanis of The
Year, Stan Crockett, and
our Citizen of The Year,
Paul Bessel. Both Elaine
and Jack put long hours
into making this meeting a
success.
Nancy
Cressy,
state chair for the International’s Program to stop
Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) was our April
27 speaker. Working with
UNICEF, Kiwanis International has established a
five-year plan to remove
this disease that kills one
baby every nine minutes.
This disease can be prevented easily by immunizing the mother with a
60-cent vaccine. But many
people in Asia, Africa and
Europe and, yes, the United
States have little or no access to health care. International hopes to collect $110
million to help UNICEF for
the vaccines, syringes, safe
storage, transportation and
thousands of skilled staff
needed to help over 100
million mothers.
Happy birthday to
Gertrude Oliner (5/16) and
Kathy Kane (5/31).
Norma Flaherty
and Anne Abbott were
named delegates to the International Kiwanis Convention in New Orleans,
June 28-July 1. Anyone
planning to attend should
make their reservations as
soon as possible.
Foundation Chairman Marian Cain-Hayden
will announce the scholarship winners at our May 18

storytelling and more that
highlights the complex and
spectacular culture of the
country of Azerbaijan. The
festival will highlight the
ethnic diversity and culture
of Azerbaijan. Participants
in the festival will include
not only artists and craft presenters but also Azerbaijani
residents of Washington,
D.C, residents of Leisure
World and American friends
of the Karabakh Foundation. The foundation will
invite staff of the Embassy
of Azerbaijan to the United
States to participate in an
accompanying ceremony.
Residents will be
asked to volunteer to read
translated versions of Azerbaijani children’s stories,
while children will learn and
then perform Azerbaijani
folk dances.
Plans for the Fun

dances, youngsters trying
on Azerbaijani folk costume
and learning to dance while
wearing the costumes; craft
making such as musical
instruments and weavings,
displays and explanation of
Azerbaijani handicrafts, an
Azerbaijani carpet display
celebrating the exquisite designs and colors of Azerbaijani carpets with the motifs
explained by an Azerbaijani
carpet expert. There will
be a display of pictures of
Azerbaijani’s distinctive
cuisine with discussions
lead by expert chefs and an
interactive slideshow lead by
visitors to Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan is a
small country in the Caucasus region, bordering
Georgia, Armenia, Russia,
Turkey, Iran and the Caspian
Sea. Ninety-nine percent
Muslim (85 percent Shi’a),
the country is proud of its
pluralism; an ancient Jewish
community of “mountain
Jews” (from the Caucasus
Mountains) has maintained
its distinctive culture and
language for centuries. Azerbaijan also maintains a
strong friendly relationship
with the state of Israel. In
fact, Azerbaijan was among
the first to respond to recent
wildfires in Israel.
Because of its historic location on the Silk
Road, Azerbaijan was and is
a cultural crossroads that has
brought out and reinterpreted
the best of many cultures.
The resulting Azerbaijani
culture is extraordinarily sophisticated and multifaceted.
Azerbaijan was
home to the first Muslim opera and was the first Muslim
republic to grant women’s

Republican Club of LW
Program on "Obamacare" By Fred Seelman
The next meeting of the Republican Club of Leisure
World is Monday, May 21 at 7 PM in Clubhouse I. The featured event is the second in our new format: Current Topics
of Interest Series. Like the first, about whether there is a
“War Against Women,” it will cover an issue that is currently
roiling the political seas, “Obamacare.”
The program, “Is Obamacare Worth Taking 500
Billion Dollars from Seniors’ Medicare?” features speaker
Grace-Marie Turner, president of the Galen Institute, a publicpolicy research organization founded to promote an informed
debate over free-market ideas for health reform. She is coauthor of the book Why ObamaCare is Wrong for America
published by Harper Collins in 2011, testifies regularly before
Congress and served for a three-year term as a member of
the National Advisory Council of Healthcare Research and
Quality. Also speaking will be a representative of the Romney
for President campaign.
With the Republican Party and its presumptive
presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, committed to repeal
of Obamacare and the other party promoting it, the Obamacare
program provides seniors and others with an opportunity to
inform themselves about one of the most important issues in
this year’s presidential election campaign. Questions like the
following will be discussed: Will Obamacare cause healthcare
decisions to be made by the government rather than how they
are made now, by patients and their doctors? Will it cause
health care to be rationed and life and death decisions to be
made by government boards that are frequently described
as “death panels”? Will the costs of healthcare go up by so
much that the middle class will have trouble affording it?
Will it bring about results like lower quality of care, long
waits and poorer service like similar plans in Great Britain
and Canada have produced? Come to our meeting and hear
these and similar questions cogently explored.
Afterwards, officers will report on the status of
the club, and members will have an opportunity to offer
observations and opinions about current political matters.
The club has some open positions and workers
are needed for the various on-going campaigns. Members
and any others who are able to volunteer or have questions
about how to do it should contact our president by emailing
[email protected] or calling 301-873-6119.
Join us for another quality event on May 21, expand
your political horizons and enjoy the conversation and some
coffee and pastries.

The Art Scene (RAG)
By Sheila Campbell
Our new corridor display for May is now mounted, and we
have added a special niche to showcase our teaching staff.
This month, Millie Shott is displaying her work, and future
displays will continue this tradition. While on the subject, I
want to extend a big thank you to our “hanging committee”
- Marion Callaghan, Patty Eaton, and Loretta Morgan. They
work to get the displays mounted the first Saturday of each
month before many of us have had our morning coffee. So
thanks, your efforts do not go unappreciated.
Our next monthly board meeting is Wednesday, May 16.
All members are welcome and encouraged to attend and
give us input on the efficient running of the Art Guild. You
will find us in Clubhouse I at 3 PM, so mark your calendars
and come join us.
We hope you will notice that spring-cleaning of the studio
has been accomplished and this is a plea to all artists to cooperate in keeping our space clean. Of particular note, the
refrigerator is now clean. Without going into detail, suffice to
say its condition was deplorable. New rules: if it is consumable, eat it, drink it or toss it; if it is art supplies, identify it.
Remember, Montgomery Art Association’s, “Paint the
Town” Labor Day Weekend registration is due by Aug. 24.
Watch this column for more information closer to the date.
You do not need to be an MAA member to participate, but
you do have to have a “Kensington” theme.
The Sandy Spring Museum show is still open through the
end of this month and 12 artists from RAG are represented,
so it is worth a trip to take a look at the varied artwork.
Two of our artists were juried into the exhibit of the Rockville Art League at Glenview Mansion, Loretta Morgan
and Bertha Padams, and a first prize awarded to Genevieve
Roberts for her etching aquatint. Congratulations to all! Jane
Unitarian Universalists To Meet May 15:
One-Room School Experience • by Mary Beth Mason
The “One-Room School Experience,” will be examined
during the Unitarian Universalists’ meeting at Clubhouse
II from 2:30 to 4:30 PM May
15. Please note that this is the
third Tuesday rather than our
usual fourth Tuesday and that
refreshments will be served
mid-meeting rather than
before the program begins.
Our format is meant to
encourage a feeling of inclusiveness and congeniality.
Presentations by panel members, including three former
pupils from Ohio, Virginia
and Wisconsin and a former
teacher from Montana will
be followed by a short break
for snacks.
Marjory Olson will then lead
a discussion among panelists
and audience members. All
are invited to participate in
a show-and-tell by bringing
an artifact or picture with an
unambiguous relationship to
a specific one-room school.
Participants will be encouraged to wax nostalgic about
their own reminiscences of
school days or stories told
to them by family or friends
who attended one-room
school houses.
Marjory and Fred Olson
planned this program using
their own experiences and
stories from friends as inspiration. They have found that
spotting a one-room school
relocated as part of an outdoor museum, park or other
site showcasing local history
is not unusual while traveling
through North America. In
fact, in rural areas of 19th
and early 20th century North
America, one-room schools
were very common and, in
the towns and countryside
where located, were extremely important in engendering
community-building.
Future programs of our
group follow. Unless indicated otherwise, all meetings
are at the Fellowship Hall,
Inter-Faith Chapel, on the
fourth Tuesday: 2:30 to 3
PM, social time; 3 to 4:30
PM program.

Preece had two paintings accepted into the show and was at
the opening looking and feeling well.
Olney Art Association’s show at La Galeria at Ranazul
Restaurant in Maple Lawn was hung on May 6 and will
remain up until June 3. This is a lovely venue with a private
gallery in their restaurant. The gallery director will provide a
complementary menu of light tapas and champagne for guests
and members at the reception on May 20 from 4 to 5 PM.
Why not check it out and stay for dinner? All are welcome.
Montgomery Art Association has ongoing exhibits in the
Westfield Wheaton Mall Gallery. If you haven’t made the trip
to see their gallery, it is well worth the effort. Shows are all
local artists and feature one specific local painter each month.
I would like to remind all readers of this column that the
studio welcomes all residents to stop by during a class session and see what we are about. We have ongoing classes
every day, morning and afternoon. You might be surprised
at the talent in our midst!
Meantime, as usual, happy painting!
Writers’ Workshop of L.W. • By Mary Zenchoff
Our group met on May 3
to share poetry and prose.
Ron Davis’ old dog, Godiva,
could no longer jump. When
a robin was injured, Godiva
stayed beside the wounded
robin. Eventually, the robin’s
mate flew away. Godiva
retreated to the house, whimpering sadly. One of Ron’s
brothers said, “Godiva is in
mourning.”
Francesca Solon told a
suspenseful story of a mistake made by the post office
that ultimately betrayed a
husband’s infidelity. Lots of
thrills in this tale!
Norman Ochs’ story, “The
Passion of Stickball” brought
us back to the days when
stickball was played with

Daisy Fields gave us a delightful story of a first date
shared with two boyfriends,
each holding her hand as all
three walked to the movies.
Those were innocent days.
Jane Hawes reminded us
of May days when women
frantically search for bathing suits into which they can
squeeze their stomachs and
thighs. When spring is busting out all over, it is really
busting out!
York Van Nixon III treated
us to a poem and a story.
His poem, “Glimmer Future
Past,” reminded us of blue
oceans and the lapping of
the water. The soul finds the
other half of a rainbow. The
story is a tale of revenge
where the deceased wife
leaves half the house to the
cat. Poor Roop! His wife may
have faked a lot of things, but
she won out in the end. An
ending with a shudder and a
chuckle, York.
Verna Denny treats topics
ranging from what to wear
on Easter Sunday to ways of
responding when she learns
of the death of a new friend’s
son. The ambivalence felt in
each situation is expressed
with delicacy and honesty.
Warren Eister presented
his topic with the help of a
musical recording. A nice
innovation Warren.
Chuck Lavin triggered
our memories of old movie
theaters and their offerings.
Flash Gordon and Gene
Autry movies gave us thrills
but the 15-week serials where
we never knew if the hero
would live or die were the
most suspenseful.
Joe Fickey continued his
thrilling account of the wartime adventures of General
Gavin and Major Bland. We
learn that Karl (Cliff) was
recovering from severe
wounds. The chapter ends
with the words, “The phone
rang.”
Lee Hardy’s poem, “The
Awakening,” described the
fears that a child has going
to school for the first time.
Page 9
Those little fears rang a bell
with all of us.
Curtis Robbins presented a
meaningful poem about the
trips of a deaf traveler. It triggered feelings that we each
have as we travel into new
situations. Looking forward
to more poetry, Curtis!
Jean Featherston continued
with her story of her ancestor, General Featherston, on
his wedding day. She wove
into the story several salient
facts about the Civil War
and its influence on people
at that time.
Tom Anessi told us the
tale of two brothers and the
influence of wine making on
the family in his story. The
recognition that morality can
play a part in money making was a valuable aspect of
Tom’s discussion.
Mary Zenchoff wrote a
touching memorial to a dear
friend who died during the
past week.
Our next meeting is Thursday, May 17 at 10:30 in
Clubhouse II. The suggested
topic is an opening line for
a story about a broken-down
hotel. Please bring 12 copies.

Duke Ellington School of the Arts – A Showcase of Talent
The E&R Department is pleased to once
again welcome students
from the Duke Ellington
School of the Arts. They
will showcase some of
their many talents at a
performance on Saturday, June 2 at 4:30 PM
in Clubhouse II’s auditorium. Tickets, $7 per
person, are on sale in both
clubhouses. This promises
to be another outstanding
performance so be sure
to purchase your tickets
early.
The Duke Ellington School of the Arts
is an accredited college
preparatory public arts
school in the District of
Columbia, offering a dual
arts and academic curriculum. Ellington offers
pre-professional training
in instrumental music,
and vocal music, museum
studies, literary media and
communications, visual
arts, dance, theatre and
technical design and production. Duke Ellington
is nationally known for
its ability to take ordinary
urban kids with talent
and turn them into both
academic and artistic successes. The school has a
long-standing record of
graduating 98 percent
of its students, with 95
percent going onto the
best universities and conservatories in the nation.
On June 2, Music
Department will present
the showcase of the students’ performance. The
singers will sing beauti-
ful art songs and spirituals. Also, instrumental
students will perform
Arabesque by Debussy,
Waltz by Strauss, “A”
Train by Duke Ellington, Maple Leaf Rag by
Joplin, lavish Fandango
by strings and piano, and
more. We hope that you
will celebrate their end-ofthe-year music showcase
of Duke Ellington School
of the Arts with them.

Heat Pump Energy Credit Announcement
for Leisure World’s Master-Metered Residents From the LWCC Energy Advisory Committee (EAC)
For residents who
live in master-metered mutuals (3M), an E-Rating credit
now exists for current heat
pump owners and the credit
will be available to 3M residents who install heat pumps
in the future. A heat pump
uses far less energy to heat
a home than the standard
electric resistance furnace,
which currently is used in
most master-metered residences. As a result, the new
heat pump credit is substantial and well worth the effort
involved in applying for it.
The credit is EAC’s
acknowledgement of the heat
pump’s significant impact
in lowering the amount of
energy used to heat your
home and is intended to be
an inducement for 3M resi-
dents to choose heat pumps
over standard air conditioning (A/C) units when their
A/C unit fails. Although a
heat pump costs more than
an A/C unit, the E-rating
credit should make up the
difference in less than three
years. After reaching the
break even point heat pump
owners will continue to save
money because of the credit’s
continued impact on their
monthly fees. The amount
of your credit will vary
depending on which model
home you own and your heat
pump’s heating efficiency
(HSPF) rating.
For questions on
how to apply for a heat
pump credit, contact Lynn
Cavaluzzi by e-mail at [email protected] or
Elsie Maxam at edmaxam@
verizon.net or 301-598-1475.
If you have non-application
questions, contact Michael
Showalter at [email protected] or 301-598-3247.

The Garden & Environmental (G&E) Club
Judging Entries In Garden Shows – May 14 • By Arnold Litman
Now that your
first series of garden stock
is planted, you can look
forward to fresh food and
garden beauty in the months
ahead. Many LW gardeners
can also look forward to
early preparations for their
planned entries into the
August Annual Flower and
Garden Show. What an appropriate time then to hear
from senior Montgomery
County Fair judges as to
what they look for when they
are doing their appointed
tasks.
G&E’s Monday,
May 14 meeting in Clubhouse I at 10 am will feature
Joan O’Rourke and Janice
Short, two well-known
long-time Montgomery
County master gardeners.
Ms. O’Rourke is a past president of the Master Gardeners (MG), the moderator at
many MG holiday events, a
leader at the Brookside Gardens Propagation House,
emphasizing topiaries and
maintain a prize winning
backyard garden in Montgomery County. She claims
that one of her favorite outreach programs is “coming
to Leisure World to talk to
the G&E Club.”
Ms. Short, a member of the Neighborhood
Garden Club of Gaithersburg – Washington Glove, is
also a Montgomery County
therapeutic horticulturist.
She has been giving lessons
and suggesting techniques at
senior residences, nursing
homes and assistant living
facilities for 15 years. She is
a judge for the 4H Division
of the Montgomery County
Fair.
Even if you do
not plan to have an entry in
the LW Flower and Garden
Show this year, you will
enjoy this program. Ms.
Short will elaborate on the
point system used in judging
horticulture. Plan on coming
the 14th to the meeting.
Join us for “The Taste of Sunrise” Open House
Saturday, May 19, 2012 11am – 2pm

Young at Heart Club: The Club for Residents of All Ages
You are invited to celebrate Everybody’s Birthday on May 21 • by Connie Blake, President
In recognition of
Older Americans Month,
we are going to have a party;
that is right, an Everybody’s
Birthday Party. No presents. Just bring some finger
food to share and we will do
the rest. We will have great
music, dancing, socializing
and more. Our party will
begin at 7 PM on Monday,
May 21 in Clubhouse I. We
usually have our meetings at
1 PM on the fourth Monday,
but we have changed for this
month to include our working
neighbors and friends. We
also are celebrating on the
third Monday because the
fourth Monday is Memo-
rial Day. We will take this
day to remember those who
served our country and our
loved ones who are no longer
with us.
Next month, we
will have our second annual
dinner on Monday, June 25
at 6 PM in Clubhouse I. We
will have a buffet dinner,
which will cost $12. More
information will be in our
next article. Morton Davis,
a resident and commissioner
on the Commission on the
Aging, will install our officers for 2012-13.
Last month, Morton presented an excellent
program that enlightened all
attending. He shared helpful
tips for seniors on how to
be safe and cautious while
shopping. He will share more
pertinent information at our
dinner. We look for to his
next presentation with great
expectation.
Our Hikers Group
will continue to meet at 10:30
am instead of 1:30 PM.
Baby Boomers by Beth Leanza
Our next regular
meeting is Sunday, June 3
at 7 PM in Clubhouse II.
We will have a session in
the Computer Center – a
scavenger hunt as well as any
questions answered about the
Baby Boomer Yahoo Group
or web page.
We are planning to
participate in an AVA walk
on June 2 called the Silver
Spring Trails day. On the
Baby Boomer Web page,
click on Silver Spring Trails
Day June 2 2012 for more
information.
We had a great turn
out at our last movie showing – The Iron Lady. Snacks
were shared (we always
pause the movie half way
through to give people a
chance to snack…). We are
looking forward to the new
High Def TV coming soon to
Clubhouse II. Then we can
have all our meetings there.
Our next bowling
outing is May 27 at Bowl
America in Gaithersburg.
(Note that this is during
Memorial Day Weekend.)
Most Sunday
nights, we meet at 7 PM
(Clubhouse II) to play on
the Wii and play board
games. All are encouraged
to bring their favorite board
game. The poolroom and
ping-pong tables are also
usually available to us. If
you are interested in learning to play Mahjong, contact
either Donna Copeland or
Iris Wolfe.
Boomers meet to
play Mahjong in Clubhouse
II every Wednesday at 7 PM,
except for the first week of
the month when they meet
on Tuesday also at 7 PM. For
information contact Donna
Copeland (240-433-0391,
[email protected]).
The Weeknight
Walkers are now meeting at
7:15 PM at Clubhouse I each
night Monday to Friday, for a
walk around the Broadwalk
in Montgomery Mutual.
(E&R has a map showing
this walk.)
Members of the
BB club also meet on Sunday mornings for a longer
walk around Leisure World
Boulevard or at another location. The Sunday walkers
have decided that the second
Sunday will be at an outside
location at 8:30 am. Check
with the Baby Boomer Web
page for places (https://sites.
google.com/site/bbclwmd/).
Some Baby Boomers walk with the local AVA
Page 15
clubs for longer walks, usually three miles. You can
check the Baby Boomer calendar for un-hosted events,
where some of these AVA
(American Volkssport Association) walks are listed. We
are going to participate in a
walk in Silver Spring on June
2. More information is 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 “unhosted” events like theater
performances or sports venues. If an un-hosted event
catches your eye, send an
e-mail to the Baby Boomer
Yahoo group asking if anyone else is planning to go.
We are always
looking for other activities.
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.
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).

imaginative gardens from Victoria, Canada, across the U.S.A.
and then jumping “The Pond” to England and the Continent.
The first session will include an informative talk on garden
topics such as color, texture, water features, ornamentation,
foliage and blossom sequencing by one of Leisure World’s
award-winning landscape designers. Richard Houghton, a
perennial Center for Lifelong Learning lecturer, will lead
the discussions and presentations, and several of the colorful garden tours will be conducted by Audrey Hepburn and
Michael York. For further information see www.cllmd.com.

Wellness Series–Meditation and Relaxation
Techniques: Current medical research shows that regular
relaxation and meditation affects the chronic degenerative
disease processes that frequently accompany the aging
process. Learn basic techniques to induce what western
medicine calls “the relaxation response” to ease the aging
process. Easy techniques will be taught and practiced as a
class. Become empowered to be more in control of how
you feel on a daily basis. Different techniques work for
different people, so come and learn a variety and see what
works best for you! Instructor Robin M. Hartman, CHHC,
RYT, PTA, is a certified holistic health coach, registered
yoga teacher and therapist and a licensed physical therapist
assistant. As a PTA, in addition to working with general
musculoskeletal issues, she uses meditation and relaxation
techniques when working with her patients at the physical
therapy offices located in the Leisure World Medical Center. Class meets Wednesdays, June 6-27, 2 PM. Fee: $50.
Three Faces of Judaism Discuss Aging and
Staying Young: JRLW is sponsoring a three-session class
dedicated to a discussion of aging and how one maintains an
active, youthful life as one ages. Each session will be led by
Rabbis, one each of the Reform, Orthodox and Conservative
movements, respectively: Rabbi Emeritus Jonathon Eichhorn,
a member of Temple Emmanuel; Rabbi Shmuel Leigh and
Rabbi Jonah Layman of Shaare Tefila. The theme of these
classes is to learn from Jewish tradition how to be engaged
and keep your mind and body active. To quote Rabbi Eichhorn, “How to Live Longer and Grow Younger-a Philosophy
for Living” is a philosophical presentation (with a touch of
humor) on how the pursuit of wisdom and a positive attitude
leads to greater fulfillment in life. Rabbi Eichhorn graduated
from Adelphi University (BA in History), and was ordained
as a rabbi from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati in 1962.
Since moving to Maryland, he has been a Jewish Chaplain
at the Brooke Grove Retirement Community and a speaker
for the Himmelfarb Mobile University (sponsored by the

More About Azaleas
The white Azalea at the edge of my
patio is gorgeous. The
bush is eight or more
feet high and probably
the same across. In the
front is a tiny deep pink
Azalea, and on the other
side a much lighter pink
with doubled blossoms.
Beside the Azalea bush
a pink hydrangea is
coming along, but I only
know it is pink because
that’s what it was when
I moved here last May.
I lived for 30 years
in University Park,
where almost every
yard had Azaleas, but
I’ve never seen anything
like these beauties. Each
separate bloom is more
than three inches wide,
with delicate spike stamens topped with a dot
of black.
People walking
along the path, sometimes stop and stare at
the sight. But they are
not to know the bush
emanates a sweet fragrance.
Thank you, landscapers, one and all for
your work. Each display
of flowers is a little different, but this variety
only enhances the soul
stirring response.
Well done!

LW Needs Equitable
Process for Resolving
Resident Grievances
It is regrettable
that Leisure World has
never instituted an equitable process for resolving resident grievances.
Some time ago
our friend Mr. Jung Park
learned that I was in great
pain and about to enter
surgery, so he decided
to visit me on his way
home from our Global
Mission church on Georgia Avenue. A gate
guard stopped Mr. Park
because he was driving
one of his company’s
pickups – and possibly
also because Mr. Park,
like many of our friends,
is Korean-American.
In an insulting
telephone conversation
the guard insisted that
Mr. Park was there for
“unauthorized” construction work. After
rejecting my three pleas
that he admit Mr. Park,
the guard decided “not to
let him in” and disconnected his call.
Humiliated by
this abuse, I made a very
painful one-mile trip to
the gate – where the arrogant young guard refused
to disclose his full name
or rationale, stating simply: “the call was mine.”
Then he called his super-
visor, saying: “a resident
is here complaining my
decision to deny admission to a contractor on
the weekend.”
A long wait later
the supervisor appeared,
wearing a gun and a very
hostile, aggressive demeanor. He refused my
request to sit, launching
instead a rant of false
accusations and disregarding my denials. He
concluded by saying he
supported the guard’s
decision and abruptly
stormed out the building. I asked his name,
but he snarled only part
of it before slamming
the door, preventing my
obtaining his full name
or badge number.
I reported this
incident to the L.W.
security manager – who
replied straight away
that he felt it “unfair”
to question the guard or
his supervisor because
my report was “delayed”
(i.e., while in surgery and
recovery). It was clear
that he never asked nor
intended to ask the two
– both still employed in
L.W. – about my complaint.
It is my firm
opinion that employees
and managers whom
we pay to serve us, but
evidence more concern
for serving themselves
at our expense, should be
separated from employment here. The fact that
management tolerates
such abuse, and the lack
of an impartial resolution
venue, speaks to autocratic governance that
none of us anticipated
in coming to Leisure
World.

n
Leisure World Name
– Take It Or Leave It
(Continued)
By the time you
read this, the latest survey of Leisure World
regarding its name may
be underway (for background, see my ad on
page 35 of the 5/1/12
Leisure World News).
The activists who want to
change our name cite two
main reasons: (1) a new
name would improve our
marketability and raise
the value of our homes
and (2) while changing
our name would cost
almost nothing (the new
board-appointed “Special” Name Committee
has spent months proving that the estimated
cost would be a one-time
charge of only $7.23 per
unit vs. management’s
$25), keeping the name
could require interminable (and, probably,
very high) legal expenses
for our defense against a
Cortes/RRLH law suit.
Regarding the
first item, you may have
noticed that a national
recession and real estate bubble collapse
have occurred. Home
values everywhere are
down. Has “marketing”
helped values elsewhere
improve? No! Ours will
recover when the rest
of the market does.
Meanwhile, re-sales are
back up to pre-recession
levels.
As for legal
costs, the last letter
from our lawyer (Arnold
D. Spevack of Lerch,
Early and Brewer –
3/22/12) suggests that
Cortese/RRLH won’t
sue (mainly, I believe,
because they get $100
per month from every
agent that lists himself as
a Leisure World expert),
that if they did sue they
probably wouldn’t win
(because, as I understand, Leisure World is
not in the real estate business of selling its units)
and if they did, somehow,
prevail, it shouldn’t cost
us more than $10,000 ($2
per unit), the deductible
on our insurance policy
that covers us for up to
$20,000,000! Anyone
wanting more detail
may contact me at 301598-9650 or penn.s@
comcast.net.

Time to Revisit Paper's
Objectives
In the May 1,
2012, issue on page 35,
a double-spaced paid notice about the community
name from a resident
appeared. Without a
disclaimer, it could be
construed that the editor
and staff were induced
to grant sufficient space
for what I consider to be
an incongruous outpour.
Or did the Leisure World
News intend to deliberately confuse readers
about this vital matter?
Though all are
entitled to their opinions, I believe that paid
notices intended to disseminate discord reflect
more poorly on the paper
than on the author of the
notice. I think the Leisure
World News needs to
work harder on organizing its layout, emphasizing placement of news
articles of relevance,
instead of burying them
amid advertisements. It
may be a good time to
revisit our home paper’s
objectives, principles,
and standards.

Patients’ Rights Council of Leisure World
by Mary Ann Johnston
The next meeting of the Patient’s Right’s Council
of Leisure World is Tuesday, June 12 at 1:30 PM in Clubhouse I. A decision was made to postpone the May meeting as the date and time conflicted with the Montgomery
Mutual annual meeting and many of members wanted to
attend that meeting.
The May meeting was to feature a movie, “The
Terri Schiavo Story.” Terri Schiavo became severely disabled as a result of a cerebral accident that deprived her
brain of oxygen The film tells of the struggle Terri’s family
fought to preserve her life. She was responsive to family
and stimuli but completely dependent on others for her
care, which included a feeding tube. Her life ended when
that feeding tube was removed, depriving her body of fluids
and nourishment. The movie will be re-scheduled at a later
date. We are also planning a program on disability rights;
more information will be available on this in the next issue
of this publication.
One disability rights group, Not Dead Yet (NDY),
was founded on April 27, 1996, shortly after Jack Kevorkian
was acquitted in the assisted suicides of two women with
non-terminal disabilities. The NDY website states that since
1983, many people with disabilities have opposed the assisted
suicide and euthanasia movement. Though often described
as compassionate, legalized medical killing is really about a
deadly double standard for people with severe disabilities,
including both conditions that are labeled terminal and those
that are not. Other national disability rights groups have
joined NDY in opposing legalized assisted suicide. The
American Medical Association has long opposed legalizing
euthanasia. Its formal policy states, “Physician assisted
suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s
role as healer, would be difficult or impossible to control,
and would pose serious societal risks.”
A source for assistance with disability issues is
the Maryland Disability Law Center (MDLC) located in
Baltimore. MDLC endeavors to maximize its resources
and empower people with disabilities to the greatest extent
possible by providing information, training and resources
that will help people advocate for themselves, or for others
who have a disability.
The purpose of the Patient’s Rights Council is to
provide seniors with information about end of life issues by
presenting speakers from various groups who are experts in
their fields of medicine and advocacy. Our group is opposed
to the legalization of physician-assisted suicide and strives
to empower seniors by giving them factual information.
In March of 2012, we had an excellent speaker from
the Alzheimer’s Association on “Know the 10 Signs.” The
current Alzheimer’s Association website encourages those
who have mothers that have been affected by this disease
to make a donation in her name as a tribute on Mother’s
Day, May 13. Their address is Alzheimer’s Association,
National Capital Area Chapter, 3701 Pender Drive, Suite
400, Fairfax, VA 22030.

Peripheral Neuropathy Group of LW
By Herb Fine, 301-598-5178, [email protected]
Peripheral neuropathy taken as a “whole” has
as its greatest challenge the
fact that, by its very nature,
neuropathy is a disease of
many parts, and many participants. Neuropathy can
impact “head to toe,” not
only mentally but emotionally and socially, too. Yet,
all too often, neuropathy
patients and their care and
treatment are viewed in a
series of body parts starting
with the nerves—and then
whatever those nerves are
connected to.
May I please request the return of some of
our library books at the next
meeting so that they may be
given to other members.
In each PN column,
we will include the multiple
ways to induce PN.
Multifocal Motor
Neuropathy and Multifocal
Demyelinating Sensorimotor Neuropathy (Lewis
Sumner Syndrome): Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
is an autoimmune condition
that attacks primarily the
motor nerves in a multifocal
distribution. Early on, only
the arms can be affected, but
it can also affect the legs. This
condition progresses with
stops and starts and causes
weakness and motion atrophy. Multifocal demyelinating sensorimotor neuropathy
presents with multifocal
weakness and sensory loss in
the distribution of individual
nerves. Both are treated with
immune therapies such as
IVIg.
Advantage Health
Care states the efficacy of
the ReBuilder System in
treating peripheral neuropathy. Sometimes you will see
words like sciatic nerve, piriformis entrapment, azonal,
hereditary, or alcoholic, diabetic, or poly attached to the
neuropathy diagnosis. It does
not matter how it is named, it
is pain and the Rebuilder can
assist in curing it for you. The
ReBuilder is a proven and
doctor recommended, electronic home based therapy
that repairs peripheral nerves
and strengthens muscles
that have weakened due to
atrophy. Lecture on May 20.
Be aware that Sun-
day, June 17 is Father’s Day
so we have moved our meeting to Sunday, June 10 for
a lecture by Charles Tang,
CVUP. Charles, a resident
and our group’s treasurer,
will provide a lecture on
therapeutic massage.
St. Jude’s medical
presentation is on treating
chronic neuropathic pain
using spinal cord stimulators. Neuromodulation is
a method of using small
amounts of electrical current to interrupt the sensory
nerve fibers which are sending these unwanted signals
to the brain and replacing
them with a new signal called
paresthesia. The goal is to
provide pain relief. This pre-
Page 25
sentation will be on July 15.
Redox signaling
is the focus of over 7,500
published studies; in addition, there are on average
more than 100 new studies
regarding redox biochemistry and redox signaling
coming out each month.

time. He is well known for his services in Leisure World.
Classes meet Wednesdays, July 11-25, 11 am. Fee: $10.
Bible Study with Phyllis Lovett: Since 2009 we
have studied 17 books of the New Testament and only two
books of the Old Testament. I hope to rectify this in future
classes. As Christians, we know that we must first understand the O.T. to fully comprehend the N.T. In this class,
we will repeat Hebrews, probably working through II Peter,
but continuing toward Revelation. Our class procedure is to
first take turns reading the Scripture. Then, we discuss what
the author is trying to convey. The session will be eight
weeks and we meet for one and one-half hours. Class meets
Tuesdays, May 22-July 10, 10-11 am. Fee: $10. Register:
Clubhouse I.
EXERCISE
NEW – 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 and Zumba Basic is that 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. Class
meets Wednesdays, May 30-July 11 and/or Fridays, June
1-July 6, 1:15 PM (no class July 4). Fee: $48, one day per
week; $90, two days. Register: Clubhouse II.
NEW – Stretch, Tone and Strength Training
for the Active Adult (9:15 am): Join our fun exercise
class utilizing a variety of equipment for the active adult.
This dynamic strength training class will develop a body
instilled with power and one that can move with ease and
confidence. Get stronger, steadier and more balanced as you
develop new body awareness, flexibility and control of “usable strength.” Weights, bands and balls are provided and a
mat is recommended for some floor work. Modification can
be made for the individual exerciser and all are welcome to
join in the fun. The instructor is Linda Ginsburg. Class meets
Mondays, June 11-July 30 and/or Thursdays, June 14-Aug.
2 (no class July 4), 9:15-10:15 am. Fee: $55/1 day, $85/2
days. Register: Clubhouse I.
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. The instructor is Grand
Master Jin Pal Kim. Class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays,
May 15-July 5, 9:30-10:30 am. Call Carol Yanagihara (301871-1529). Fee: $50 for 1 day; $90 for 2 days per week.
Register: Clubhouse II.
Move to the Beat – Men & Women (Evenings):
This class is for those who do not like structured exercise but
know that they have to move. Join Gerry and your neighbors
as you stretch and dance at a pace comfortable for you – but
you have to keep moving. A fun class that makes you work,
but you do not know it. Nothing to remember; you just follow along. Call 301-438-7452. Class meets Tuesdays, May
22-June 26, 6-6:45 PM. Fee: $39. Register: Clubhouse II.
Tap with Gerry: This class is for those who have a
basic knowledge of tap. The class will bring back memories
of your dancing school days. Have fun as you re-visit the buffalo, waltz clog, shuffles and etcetera. You will be surprised
how quickly it all comes back. Join your tapping friends as
we mix the old with the new and “tap your troubles away”!
Class meets Thursdays, June 7-July 12, 6:15-7:15 PM. Call

which occurred at the 1962 U.S. Open. (USGA Museum)
at Far Hills, New Jersey – The United States Golf Association has announced the production of “1962 U.S. Open:
Jack’s First Major,” the USGA’s first-ever film produced for
network television. The one-hour documentary chronicles
Jack Nicklaus’ first U.S. Open victory in 1962 at Oakmont
Country Club, which set in motion one of the most prolific
careers in professional golf and at the same time ignited
one of the greatest rivalries in sport between Nicklaus and
Arnold Palmer. “1962 U.S. Open: Jack’s First Major” will
premiere in the United States on Sunday, June 17 at 2 PM
EDT on NBC prior to the network’s live final-round coverage of the 112th U.S. Open Championship at The Olympic
Club in San Francisco. The film will make its international
debut Sunday, June 10 on Sky Sports (SS3).
“1962 U.S. Open: Jack’s First Major” is a USGA
film produced in collaboration with the USGA Museum and
Ross Greenburg Productions and features archival footage
of the 1962 U.S. Open from the museum’s own collection
and other archival material from Oakmont Country Club, the
Jack Nicklaus Museum, Augusta National Golf Club and The
R&A, and newsreels of the day. The film also includes fresh
interviews with Nicklaus, Palmer and other luminaries from
golf and journalism to tell the complete story of the 1962
U.S. Open Championship, from the opening round through
the dramatic 18-hole playoff, covering events both on and

Tips on Preparing for Thunderstorms and Lightning
From the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee
Thunderstorms and lightning are frequent in this
area in the spring and summer. All of us should understand
the dangers, how to avoid them, and how to prepare for them
when they occur.
The dangers. All thunderstorms are dangerous and
produce lightning. In the United States, an average of 300
people are injured and 80 are killed each year by lightning.
Your chances of being struck by lightning are one in 600,000,
but can be reduced by following safety precautions. Other
associated dangers of thunderstorms include tornadoes,
strong winds, hail and flash flooding.
When thunderstorms are in the area, weather people
on radio and television will often describe conditions. A
Severe Thunderstorm Watch will advise you when and
where severe thunderstorms are likely to occur. A Severe
Thunderstorm Warning will advise you when severe weather
has been spotted or indicated by radar. Warnings indicate
immediate danger to life and property to those in the path
of the storm. Continue to listen to local radio and television
stations for updates and other related storm information.
Some tips on what to avoid when thunderstorms
are in the area: • Natural lightning rods, such as a tall, isolated
tree in an open area. • Hilltops, open fields, the beach, or a
boat on the water. • Isolated sheds or other small structures
in open areas. • Anything metal – bicycles, golf carts, golf
clubs, motorcycle, etc.
Some tips on preparing for thunderstorms: •
Get inside a home, building, or hardtop automobile (not a
convertible). The rubber tires on the automobile offers no
protection, but the frame on the car will dissipate the charge
in the lightning strike. • Secure outdoor objects that could
blow away and cause damage. • Secure outside doors and
close window coverings. • Cordless and cellular phones are
safe to use. Use a corded telephone only in an emergency. •
Turn off the air conditioning system, major appliances and
other electrical items to prevent a power surge from causing
serious damage to them. • Use your battery-operated radio
for updates from local officials.
What to do if you encounter a lightning strike
victim: • If you have no training in what to do, call 911 on
your cell phone or try to find someone who has one and follow instructions from the 911 operator. • If you have training
and breathing or heartbeat has stopped, call 911 if possible
and then administer CPR.
For information on emergency preparedness, contact Montgomery County (montgomerycountymd.gov), the
American Red Cross (redcross.org) or the National Weather
Service (nws.noaa.gov). More information on thunderstorms
and lightning can also be found in the LW emergency preparedness information guide available in the LW library.

PROVIDING EXCELLENCE
IN PHYSICAL REHABILITATION
The Diabetes Corner
Submitted by Anita Ehrstein RPh, CDE
Coordinator, Leisure World Diabetes Education Program
Welcome to The
Diabetes Corner. In these
articles, we discuss topics
of interest to the diabetic
community of Leisure
World. Look for this column in each issue of the
Leisure World News.
The Leisure
World Medical Center
offers American Diabetes
Association approved
Diabetes Counseling, Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes
Education Classes, Nutrition Counseling and
the new Diabetes Education PLUS program at
the Leisure World Medical
Center. The next session of
classes begins soon. You
must pre-register to attend.
Diabetes Education Plus is a new
two-month program that
focuses on diabetes education, nutrition education
and weight management,
if needed, and includes
seated exercise classes.
Tuition may be reimbursed
by insurance for diabetics.
For more information and to register
for classes, call 301-4605922.
Are you at risk
for diabetes? Overweight? Relative with diabetes? Lack of exercise?
Over 65? You are at risk!
Join the Leisure World diabetes educator on Monday,
June 18, 10 am to noon at
the Leisure World Medical
Center and take the first
step to prevent or delay the
onset of diabetes. Focus is
on nutrition, activity and
weight control. You must
pre-register at the Leisure
World Medical Center by
June 14. Registration fee
is $5 for residents and $10
for non-residents.
In our last column, we saw the health
risks of being overweight
(or obese). Now let us
think about how to reduce
caloric intake to lose a
little weight. Reducing
your caloric intake by
just 10 percent can lead
to striking health benefits
including: better control of
your blood sugar, a lower
risk of heart disease and in
increased life expectancy.
We know that eating less
is healthier and eating
too much is not. Here
are some tips for cutting
calories. *If you eat in a
restaurant, divide the food
on your plate in half and
put half in a to-go box at
the beginning of your meal
or share with a friend. *Put
your dinner on a salad
plate and be conscious of
serving sizes. Research has
shown that the larger the
plate the more we eat. *If
you snack in front of the
T.V. do not eat from a bag
or tub. Transfer a little of
the snack into a small bowl
and put the rest away. *Eat
some protein at breakfast.
This could reduce your
food consumption for the
rest of the day. *Eat at
regular times and do not
skip or delay meals. If you
wait too long you could be
so hungry that you overeat.
Ask your doctor what is
the best weight for you
and aim for that goal. It is
not just a matter of looking
better, but feeling better
and preventing health
complications.
The Diabetes
Support Group will not
meet this month. Please
join us on May 17 at the
Health and Wellness Expo
sponsored by JRLW and
Coming of Age in Maryland. The next meeting of
the Leisure World Diabetes Support Group is June
21 from 1:30 to 2:30 PM in
Clubhouse I. Please check
the next Diabetes Corner

Reorganization in Place for The Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL) by Donald Eisen, President
At its annual
general membership meeting
in April, The Center for
Lifelong Learning (CLL)
unanimously elected
Richard Carlson, Richard
Thornell and Ron Masi for
renewed terms on its board
of directors. In subsequent
actions the board appointed
Fred Shapiro to replace
Belle Garfinkel, who has
chosen to step down from
the CLL Board to pursue new
interests. Belle Garfinkel
has been a stalwart for
the organization for many
years and has served in
many capacities, always
eager to serve and to work
tirelessly for the welfare
of CLL. We hope that she
will remain active in CLL
in other venues, and we
look forward to seeing her
at meetings and in our
classes. We welcome Fred
Shapiro, who has graciously
accepted our invitation to
join the board. He is already
in progress teaching his first
course for us, Introduction
to Digital Photography. The
board was enthusiastic in its
appointment of Fred, whose
energy, enthusiasm, wide
experience in organizational
governance, and many
friends and contacts both in
and outside Leisure World
will help CLL to extend
its outreach and draw new
members to work actively
with us both in the classroom
and behind the scenes.
In addition, at the
April meeting, we announced
a new committee structure,
which the board has been
working on for the past several
months. There are now three
major standing committees:
Faculty, Operations and
Communications. The
Faculty Committee has the
responsibility for generating
new courses, working
with instructors on course
development, seeking and
cultivating new faculty,
and exploring new venues
for course offerings. In the
near future, the committee
will address possibilities
for seminars series, on-line
courses, an ongoing monthly
lecture series and other ideas
that arise to improve and
extend our offerings. The
Operations Committee will
have as its charge oversight
for all its varied scheduled
activities and meetings,
keeping the organization
current and on track. The
Communications Committee
will be responsible for
coordinating our efforts
in advertising our classes,
writing publicity, maintaining
our web site and keeping it
current, extending outreach
to other organizations and,
in all other ways possible,
assuring that Leisure World
residents know who we are
and what we are doing for
them.
Beginning with the
next issue of Leisure World
News, the Communications
Committee chairperson,
Ron Masi (who is also our
Webmaster) will begin what
we hope will become an
on-going series of articles,
each one featuring a member
of the Center for Lifelong
Learning, introducing
members’ backgrounds and
explaining what it is they do
to serve the organization, and
thereby, the Leisure World
community. We also hope
to feature from time to time
students who have taken our
courses. The purpose of these
articles will be to familiarize
the community with the rich
and varied resources that the
center makes available, and
to demonstrate the many
different ways in which
members of the community
may find ways to serve by
becoming new and active
members.
To learn more about
CLL, see our web page
www.cllmd.com. To join
us, contact CLL at dgeisen@
comcast.net or call Don
Eisen at 301-598-8658.

Trips in this issue.
The Going It
Alone Club needs volunteers to come forward before
our June elections. We are
looking for a few willing
members to take on roles
of the board and to supple-
ment the board. Would you
consider being president of
the club, secretary, treasurer,

director of programs? Are
you willing to contribute
time and talent to assist in
one or another function? If
you would like information
on the duties you can contact Nominating Committee
member Pat Connelly (301598-9369). Or, would you
like to take over the writing
of this column?

NARFE Chapter #1143
The last meeting until September is Monday, May 21—
Jewelry Appraisers by Barbara Walter, President
The meeting is on
Monday, May 21 in Clubhouse I. Snacks and conversation begin at 1:30 PM and
the presentation will be at 2
PM. The appraisers Steve
and Jamie from NovaGold
said they can review a few
pieces from each of you.
Just a few so everyone has
the opportunity to have their
pieces evaluated.
The NARFE Maryland State Federation held its
mini-Convention April 30May 1 in Bowie, Maryland.
Sam Girson and I represented
Chapter #1143. Here are a
few highlights!
Congressman John
Sarbanes brought us up to
date on current House legislative activity related to
the Federal/Postal employee
and retiree community. He
focused on what is being
done to reduce the debt/
deficit, as well as looking
for ways to level the playing
field in order to minimize the
attack on our compensation
and benefit package. NARFE
continues to work on your
behalf to mitigate any nega-
tive impact! It is going to be
a long, hard road and we will
all need to pitch in and help.
We also had a presentation
by our federation representative on the National
Electronic Communication
Committee. Headquarters
is moving us forward in the
21st century, developing and
implementing our electronic
communication capability.
This will enhance and facilitate chapter operation and
member communications.
We will be hearing more on
this in the coming months.
Additionally, we
were privileged to be ad-
dressed by a member of the
Tuskegee Airmen and got
some up-close and informative information about the
group, its start up history,
through World War II to the
present. We even saw a great
film clip of actual “Red Tail”
Tuskegee Air Group WWII
air combat footage. This was
an enjoyable and worthwhile
presentation.
I mentioned in my
last column a June luncheon
at Nova Europa restaurant.
The details are being worked
out and the next column will
have all the information
needed.
Sunday Afternoon at the
Movies – Margin Call
The E&R Department is pleased to present
“Sunday Afternoon at the
Movies.” They are shown in
the auditorium of Clubhouse
II at 2 PM on Sundays. Sunday, May 27 is the date for
the screening of “Margin
Call” (2011, rated R for
language; 1 hr. 47 mins.,
not closed-captioned). Free
tickets, limit two per person,
are required; they can be
obtained from the E&R office in either Clubhouse I or
II beginning at 8:30 am on
Tuesday, May 15.
An all-star cast
shines in this engrossing
drama about a critical 24hour period at a high-profile
investment bank in the early
days of the 2008 financial crisis, when young analyst Peter
Sullivan (Zachary Quinto)
uncovers information that
could destroy the firm. When
he alerts upper management
to the precarious position of
their risky investments, an
emergency meeting is held
to decide if they should alert
clients or abscond with the
profits.
The movies are for
your enjoyment; there is no
charge. Be sure to pick up
your ticket(s) if you plan to
attend. Please note that no
one will be seated after 2 PM.
Donations to help
cover the expenses associated with the presentations
are gratefully accepted. A
basket will be available for
your contribution.

Tennis Club Plans for Allenberry; Encompasses Pickleball Players
By Fred Shapiro, President
As our members
return to Leisure World from
points south, tennis club activity is beginning to heat up.
Round Robin competition
has commenced mornings
on Tuesdays and Fridays
with an open invitation for
all club members to participate. Advanced play continues Wednesday, Thursday
and Sunday mornings. And
our annual pilgrimage to the
Allenberry Resort in Boiling Spring, Pennsylvania,
is scheduled for June 20 to
22. Another addition to the
club programs is pickleball,
a game aimed at tennis payers who have the need for a
smaller court to cover and
less ability to move around
as much as required on a
standard size tennis court.
The club meets on
the first Thursday evening
of the month in Clubhouse
II, starting at 7 PM. All are
welcome to join one of the
friendliest groups in Leisure
World. Dues are a mere $7,
entitling you to join us at
Allenberry, our picnic in
the summer, other planned
social events including our
annual dinner in October
and, of course, on the courts
here in Leisure World. Dues
can be sent to Susan Weiss,
our membership chair, 3739
Gleneagles Drive, Silver
Spring, MD 20906.
Our trip to Allenberry is rapidly approaching and you have to make a

LW Gilbert & Sullivan
Society – What
a “Spring Fling!”
Auditions next!
By Jack Melnick
Although this article went to press before the
Thursday, May 10 meeting
of the Gilbert and Sullivan
Society, over 40 members
were expected to enjoy
the annual “Spring Fling”
luncheon for paid-up members in the Party Room of
the Fairways South. After a
short business meeting, the
attendees savored a delicious
luncheon of sandwiches, salads and desserts as well as
soft drinks and various condiments. Thus, the kick-off
of the G&S Society season,
which will culminate with
the forthcoming in-concert
production, “PDQ / Mikado
in Concert,” Aug. 24, 25
and 26.
It is not too late to
come to the open auditions
for that show, Monday, May
14 and Tuesday, May 15 in
Clubhouse II with a read
through on Thursday, May
17, all starting at 7 PM. Real
rehearsals will begin June
4 from 7 to 9 PM in Clubhouse II and every Monday,
Tuesday and Thursday evening thereafter, until show
time. There are parts for 12
principals and as many as
16 chorus members. If you
enjoy singing, you will enjoy
this production, which as a
concert, uses an open book
of the score and libretto –
therefore, no memorization!
The club meets
at 1:30 PM the second
Thursday of each month
in Clubhouse II. The club
provides the drinks, cups,
plates, hardware, ice, etc. for
refreshments at each meeting, and the members, on
their birth month, take turns
bringing in some munchies
or other goodies for the
attendees. For a fun-filled
musical adventure, come to
the next meeting and bring
your interested friends. As
always, your comments and
input are solicited. Contact

that rooms can be assigned.
In addition to playing tennis, we play games in the
evening, enjoy dinners and
a reception courtesy of the
resort and see a wonderful
show. Details are listed in
the Club Trips column. Join
us and have a great time in
Boiling Spring.
At this time, we
would like to thank Jerry
Weiss for writing the tennis
club column for the past few
years. Job well done and now
he is moving on to other
ventures.
For our aging
members who want to
continue being active on
an outdoor court, we introduced pickleball, which is
like mini-tennis. At Leisure
World, four people play
at a time using the singles
lines on a tennis court. The
ball is a whiffle ball about
the size of a tennis ball. The game is played with
paddles, which are lighter
than tennis rackets. Only
the server can score points,
one point per serve. Each
time a server wins a point,
he or she serves again and
continues to do so until he or
she loses the rally. A game is
played to 11 points. People
of all ages and physical
abilities play. It is enjoyable
exercise and, because the
court is smaller, the paddles
lighter and the whiffle
ball less speedy, the game
is not as demanding tennis. Beginners are encourage to come wearing tennis
shoes to the Leisure World
Tennis Courts on Thursday
mornings at 8:30 am. Paddles and balls are provided
by Leisure World. The more
one plays, the more addictive the game becomes. For
more information call John
Tremaine (301- 438-1666).

pay for the pre-bowls when
they return to bowl the next

tor will do some or all of
the items listed below. It is
up to you how many of the
measures listed below you
wish to allow; however, the
more you allow, the more
energy that will be saved.
The contractor will:
A. Replace your old incandescent bulbs with Compact
Fluorescent Bulbs (CFL’s)
which use only 75 percent
less electricity. Unlike the
old generation fluorescents,
most of these new fluorescents light instantly and at
full intensity. There will be
an impressive assortment of
attractive CFLs designed to
be used in just about any light
fixture such as vanities, recessed lights, spot lights and
most any type of ceiling light
or lamp. There will even be
three-way CFL’s and CFL’s
for dimmer lights. The CFL’s
will last up to five times longer than your incandescent
light bulbs. Note that you
can decline using a CFL in
any light fixture where you
think it is unattractive.
B. Install Smart Power Strips
to eliminate standby-power
losses. Many appliances such
as TV’s, DVD’s, DVR’s and
even rechargers continue to
use small amounts of electricity even when they are
turned off or are not in use.
Smart power strips save
energy by eliminating these
electrical trickles, which cumulatively add up to sizeable
amounts of wasted energy.
C. Install hot water heater
wraps, which insulate your
water heater and insulating
wraps onto your hot water
pipes. This saves energy
and provides warmer water
for your home.
D. Install efficient-flow
showerheads for your showers that reduce water flow
by 25 percent and aerators
for your faucets that use
50 percent less water when
installed.
Note: Items C and D are
available only if you have
an electric hot water heater

L.W. Computer Center • By Roy Rosfeld
The hard part of writing this column is deciding what to
write about. We have told you about how to use the center –
Open Labs (where there are some techies on hand) and those
days when the center is open for your use. If you need more
information about these sessions take a look at the bulletin
board in the back of the center.
From time to time, we also have some regular training
classes such as Introduction to Computers; How to Use a
Keyboard and a Mouse; How to Use Windows 7, the current
operating system; and a whole flock of stuff on how to use the
Internet. Our principle instructor for most of these sessions
is Donna Copeland, one of our directors. She is currently
looking into some dates for future classes.
We also have what we refer to as “Dropins.” These are sessions dedicated to a specific topic. Although we refer these
sessions as “Dropins,” what we really mean is that all you
have to do is let us know that you would like to participate
in a Dropin is sign your name on the registration sheet and
show up for the class. There is no fee for these sessions but
there may be a slight charge for copies of handouts. Here is
the list of our current Dropins: Cut-Copy-and-Paste (very
valuable tool for working with text), Hardware Technology
(what the various types of hardware used with computers
are), Use of Alternative Keystrokes Instead of the Mouse,
Working with Flash Drives, and Fundamentals (how to use
various menu commands and useful keystrokes).
If you have not yet ventured into the use of flash drives,
our seminar will help you get started. We will show you
how to insert a flash drive into the correct USB port (that
is Universal Series Bus Port), how to save stuff to the flash
drive, how to safely eject the flash drvie from the port, and
other valuable bits of information on this new technology.
If you think of some other ways we can help advance our
knowledge of things in the computer world, let us know.

Macintosh Computer Club of L.W. • By Hebert Block, President
iTunes is the subject of our
general meeting of June 21
at 10:30 am in Clubhouse
II. iTunes was originally
programmed and publicized
as a handy depository of classical and popular music. It
featured a unique system for
opening its archives to the
public: make your selection
from thousands of recorded
music, download it to your
computer and confirm payment ranging from 99 cents
to multiple dollars. Early on,
Apple recognized that iTunes
was the ideal depository
for a variety of purposes; a
treasury of books, movies,
operas, plays and more were
added. Today, everything that
Apple designed and readied
for sale to the public can be
purchased via iTunes. Of
course, there is a program for
paying for each downloaded
selection.

Leisure World Gardens
There is a little bit
of green sprouting all over
the place! We still look to the
sky for rain and listen to the
weather report because every
day brings a high or low we
were not ready for and we
worry about the little fragile
plants struggling with Mom
Nature’s surprises.
Most of the gardens
are being worked, but here
and there are plots waiting
for attention. Hopefully,
everyone who has a plot
assignment is ready to dig
and harvest; but if there
is someone out there who
cannot garden, please let
Susan Curow know so that
a potential gardener on the
waiting list can begin.
We are waiting
for new chips, a new roof
on Shed 3 and replacement
of Shed 1. In the meantime
the rabbits are back, the
goldfinches and chickadees
have returned, and the first
of the season get-togethers
was well attended and enjoyed. It is nice to renew
garden friendships and ex-

change information. One of
the experienced gardeners
suggested adding crushed
eggshells and banana peels
to amend the soil. Of course
these must be deeply planted.
The tools in shed 3
are vibrant purple, thanks to
Francis; so, hopefully, they
will be returned properly
after use.
And so, Betty Kontaxis encourages participation in the July 4th parade.
We are a large
group of Leisure World
residents, and we work
hard at what we do. The
areas designated for trash
and organic matter are for
our use and, of course, the
crops belong to us also. We
choose with whom we share
our flowers and vegetables
and respectfully request
that non-gardeners honor
that right. It is wonderful to
see people walking through
and admiring our labors and
we love to chat and answer
questions about what we are
doing, but we are not happy
to find the fruits of our labor
missing.
We work hard and
really enjoy our “comfort
zone.” We try to take care
of it and appreciate having
our little farm. Stop by and
you will see us digging and
weeding and changing and
muttering and struggling to
get up! But we love it and it
keeps us healthy and tough!
See you guys in the dirt!
INFORCE Will Step-Up Its Oversight;
Sees Shift to Omsbudsman Role; Mort
Davis Will Give Police Tips to Women
Shoppers at May 14 Meeting
By Jordan Harding
In its watchdog
role, INFORCE is steppingup its oversight of Leisure
World management activity
and will redouble its efforts
to assist residents in the
resolution of problems with
Leisure World management.
Of particular concern to
INFORCE is the Executive
Summary of the 2009 Brand
Report commissioned by the
LWCC, which called Leisure
World management “unwelcoming and borderline
nasty,” a finding that has
been swept under the rug.
INFORCE will aggressively
address this issue. There has
been validated increase in the
number of issues and complaints reaching INFORCE.
It is clear that management
needs closer corporate supervision and oversight of its
activity. Responsible corporate oversight is not micromanagement; it is fiduciary
duty and good management
practice. INFORCE enjoys
the confidence of an increasing number of community
citizens and its momentum is
surprising indeed. The group
will continue to bring speakers of local, state and national
prominence to its dais.
The Monday May
14 meeting in Clubhouse
I will feature prominent
Leisure World activist Morton Davis, an ex-Marine, a
member of the AmeriCorp
Program, on the HomeCare
Committee of the Montgomery County Commission on
Aging who also serves with
the Montgomery County
Police giving lectures on
“Keeping Seniors Safe.”
He will give women shoppers important police safety
information regarding their
parking lot and shopping
experiences. His talks have
received much praise from
women’s groups throughout
the county.
Our membership is
growing and we need your
continued support. Annual
dues are $10.
The Rise of Benny
Goodman
The E&R Department is pleased to welcome Seth
Kibel to our community. Through music and lecture, Seth
will examine “The Rise of Benny Goodman” at 10 am on
Tuesday, May 22 in Clubhouse I’s ballroom. Tickets, $5
per person, are still available at both clubhouses. For more
information on Seth’s performance, see page 31 of the May
1 issue of this publication.

SENIORS FOR SENIORS
Program – An opportunity for
seniors to experience the enjoyment of having a senior cat as
a companion. The goals of the
program are to make it easier
for seniors to get involved and
to provide an opportunity to
those who might want a cat but
are not sure they can take care
of one and for those who want
to help the cats in our community find new, permanent
homes. Seniors over the age of
60 and cats six year or older or
special needs cats are eligible.
Interested seniors must complete a volunteer form (online
or in person) and a “foster”
or “foster to adopt” form and
be approved by the coordinator. Renters must supply their
landlord’s name and phone
number. All fosters need a room
where the cat can be isolated
from other pets. The Animal
Welfare League of Montgomery County pays all medical
expenses for foster cats. Fosters
pay for food and litter (there
are exceptions to this policy).
AWLMC guarantees to take
back any cat at any time. There
are short term and long-term
foster programs. AWLMC
counselors help match the cat
to the potential adopter. The
trial period is one month. The
cost to adopt is $75. For more
information contact AWLMC,
PO Box 7041, Gaithersburg,
MD 20898 or 301-740-2511.
