What Should be in Your Home 

Emergency Preparedness Plan 

From the Emergency Preparedness 

Advisory Committee 

Why be prepared Leisure World 

has been subject to the effects of 

an earthquake, snowmageddon, 

hurricanes, tornadoes, a derecho, 

extreme heat and extreme cold. A 

home emergency preparedness plan 

can reduce the fear and anxiety that 

can accompany an emergency. If a 

disaster occurs in Leisure World, 

first responders may not be able 

to get to you immediately, or they 

may need to focus their efforts 

elsewhere. 

Your home emergency preparedness 

plan should be coordinated

Fireside Forum 

Serves Our 

Community 

By Jonas Weiss 

The Fireside Forum serves the entire 

Leisure World community with 

programs that promote interest in 

public affairs and contribute to the 

cultural and intellectual life of our 

residents. Monthly presentations by 

accomplished speakers and experts 

in their area include discussions on 

world affairs and many cultural, 

historical and scientific topics. 

The Sunday afternoon talks are 

given in the Clubhouse II auditorium 

at 2:30. 

The Dec. 2 program features 

Drs. Jeanne Sinkford and Stanley 

Sinkford III, who will talk about 

science and health issues and how 

they affect our society. 

We start off the next year with the 

program “Behind the Scene at the 

NIH Philharmonia,” given by Dr. 

Nancia D’Alimonte on Jan. 6. 

These events are free; expenses 

for speakers and printed materials 

are met by donations by Leisure 

World clubs and organizations 

as well as by private individuals. 

Sponsors are listed on the programs 

for each event. 

At the board meetings, which are 

open to the public, each club or 

organization member is invited to 

provide input and talk about their 

activities. All Leisure World clubs 

are urged to join and to participate 

in these proceedings. This is an excellent 

opportunity to present your 

own activities to other participants 

and to learn about those of the other 

organizations. If you represent a 

club that is interested in joining, 

contact Membership Chairman 

David Kipping at 301-598-4171.

National Ballet to Perform Excerpts 

from “The Nutcracker” 

From the E&R Department 

Once again, the 

Foundation of Leisure World 

and the E&R Department 

are pleased to present members 

of the National Ballet, 

who will perform excerpts 

from the holiday classic, 

“The Nutcracker.” This 

performance is scheduled 

for Saturday, Dec. 15 at 

7:30 PM in Clubhouse II’s 

auditorium. Dancing mice, 

soldiers followed by swirling 

snowflakes and a journey to 

the “Land of Sweets” will 

be certain to entertain you. 

Tickets, $9 per person, are 

on sale in the E&R office in 

both clubhouses. 

Founded in 1948 

by founder/director Helen 

Moore, the National Ballet 

is Maryland’s oldest professional 

ballet company. 

Known for its “…high artistic 

standards and strong 

technique” (Capital News), 

the company performs a 

wide range of ballets from 

full-length classics to contemporary 

works. 

The Foundation of 

Leisure World is a 501(c) 

3 organization, which was 

established for charitable, 

health, educational and cultural 

purposes. Contributions 

to the foundation may be 

claimed as deductions on 

income tax returns to the 

extent permitted by law. 

Goulden Reids Choir 

Holiday Performance 

From the E&R Department 

The E&R Department is very pleased to bring the 

Goulden Reids Choir back to Leisure World once again for 

a special holiday concert on Wednesday, Dec. 19 at 2 PM 

in Clubhouse I’s Crystal Ballroom. Tickets, $2 per person, 

are available in both clubhouse E&R offices. 

Originally starting 12 years ago with two Navy 

families sharing a love for music and ministry to older 

adults, the Goulden Reids Choir performs in area senior 

centers, nursing homes and assisted living communities. 

They also perform an annual benefit concert for local and 

international charities. 

Currently the choir consists of the Gunther, Boulden, 

Reid and Scholl families adding up to a total of 28 

children. It was pretty easy in the early days to keep track 

of these kids, but now some of the “children” are working, 

college grads, married, in college or busy with high school. 

The families gather together in the fall to prepare a singing 

and storytelling Christmas presentation throughout Anne 

Arundel, Montgomery, Howard and Prince Georges counties. 

This year’s concert promises to be as enjoyable 

as last year’s. So be sure to get tickets for your family and 

friends, too.

Holiday Happenings at the Sandy Spring Museum 

By Joan Guberman, Contributing Correspondent 

Sandy Spring 

Museum has put together 

some cool events this holiday 

season. A wine tasting, 

a quilt extravaganza, 

Frosty & Friends holiday 

party and a model train 

show are highlights of 

the museum’s December 

calendar. 

Model Trains 

and Holiday Party. The 

model trains are here, 

and one has transported 

a miniature circus to the 

museum. The annual 

model train show began 

on Saturday, Dec. 1, and 

runs through Sunday, Dec. 

9. To accommodate large 

crowds of excited children 

and their grown-up 

companions, the museum 

will be open for extended 

hours during train week. 

The show, with its additional 

miniature circus 

display, is a lovely complement 

to our Leisure 

World model train club’s 

holiday event. Admission 

is $5 for adults, $3 for 

senior adults and $3 for 

children. No charge for 

museum members. 

Sunday, Dec. 9, is 

also the Frosty & Friends 

Holiday Party. Frosty, 

Rudolph and Santa Claus 

will delight grandchildren 

while adults enjoy music, 

hors d’oeuvres and wine. 

The suggested donation 

is $5 per family for the 

party. Come by with the 

grandkids between 3 and 

6 PM. 

Wines for the 

Holidays. A brown-bag 

lunch on Wednesday, Dec. 

12 focuses on wine for the 

holidays. Come discuss 

wines with Joe McCall, 

owner of the new Wine 

Shop at Olney. Cap your 

lunch hour with a tasting 

of five fine wines that Joe 

has selected for the holidays. 

Admission is free. 

Wine for the Holidays is 

one of a series of free, 

salon-style discussions 

that occur every Wednesday 

throughout the year. 

Held between noon and 

1 PM, the brown-bag 

lunches are opportunities 

to meet new people and 

share ideas on diverse 

subjects. Upcoming salon 

topics range from 

self-publishing to raising 

sheep in the suburbs and 

from interfaith dialogue to 

intergenerational quilting. 

Colors at Play 

– Quilts, Kaleidoscopes, 

and exhibit and a party! 

Patterns at Play: Quilts 

and Kaleidoscopes will 

be on display from Dec. 

12 through Jan. 3, 2013. 

This unique show pairs art 

quilts created by resident 

quilter Lauren Kingsland 

with kaleidoscopes handmade 

by artist Charles 

Karadimos. The clear, 

crisp kaleidoscope images, 

both in the scopes and 

projected on the wall, will 

be matched with vibrant, 

innovatively designed 

quilts. Through their colors 

and patterns, the dual 

images offer viewers a 

new perspective on the art 

of symmetry and balance. 

Meet Lauren and 

Charles at an exhibit reception 

on Sunday, Dec.16 

from 6 to 9 PM. The free 

event also includes music 

and refreshments. 

Please RSVP to info@ 

sandyspringmuseum.org 

for this event. 

Both artists will 

engage in a conversation 

at the brown-bag salonstyle 

luncheon held on 

Wednesday, Dec. 19 from 

noon until 1 PM. The free 

event offers informal opportunities 

for sharing 

ideas and impressions 

with the artists. 

For those interested 

in hands-on quilting, 

Lauren will offer a 

series of workshops in 

2013. Held in her museum 

studio, the workshops 

focus on intergenerational 

and family fun. 

Couples—husbands and 

wives, grandparents and 

grandchildren, mothers 

and daughters—are encouraged 

to participate 

together. Topics include 

making fabric postcards 

Art quilt by Lauren Kingsland, resident quilter at the Sandy

Volunteers provide caring, 

compassionate, practical and 

high-quality non-medical 

support services to every 

Montgomery County adult 

or child who is facing a lifethreatening 

illness or who 

is grieving the death of a 

family member or loved one. 

These volunteers provide the 

presence of someone who 

will listen and will share 

experiences with the patient 

who is in the last stages of 

an illness, generally less than 

18 months. 

Anyone who is interested 

in receiving the services of 

Hospice Caring or volunteering 

can call 301-869-4673 or 

contact www.HospiceCaring.org. 

Volunteers attend 

a three-day training session 

and these sessions are offered 

four times a year. 

The Patient and Family program 

includes respite care, 

companionship, assistance 

with household tasks and 

transportation to treatment 

and doctor appointments. A 

valuable service is providing 

relief and comfort to the patient’s 

caregiver by listening 

and providing a needed break 

for the caregiver. Hospice 

Caring offers peer-support 

bereavement groups for 

adults and children. Good 

Grief Clubs are a program 

for Montgomery County 

school children grades K-12 

that are operated with the aid 

of school counselors; many 

children have no other way 

to deal with their grief.

The Patient’s Rights Council 

of Leisure World strives to 

provide seniors with resources 

that are available to 

us as we age and may need 

in coping with an illness or 

disability. These resources 

affirm life; they do not agree 

with those who may recommend 

ending that life as a 

means of dealing with an 

illness. This does not mean 

we must accept extraordinary 

measures to sustain life when 

death is imminent. 

All residents and guests are 

welcome at our meetings; 

free literature is available 

and books may be borrowed.

Interfaith Committee 

for the Homeless and Working Poor 

by Hilde Holcomb 

Our last meeting 

for the year is scheduled for 

Wednesday, Dec. 12. What 

a joyful occasion it is as we 

fill colorful holiday bags 

to take to the residents of 

Sophia House (the residence 

for homeless women.) The 

30 bags are opened and 

ready to be filled. Into them 

are dropped small packs of 

Kleenex, toothbrush covers, 

scarves and caps, hand 

sanitizers, socks, umbrellas, 

small calendars, gloves, 

items for daily dental care, 

lotion, note pads and pens. 

If residents want 

to contribute items, there 

are the two barrels in the 

Inter-Faith Chapel’s narthex. 

They are off to your left as 

you go through the front 

door. One is for women’s 

toiletries and the other for 

men’s toiletries. This is 

an ongoing collection, for 

which respective homeless 

people are very grateful. 

Please be sure to give new, 

unopened products. 

The last of the dinners 

provided to Sophia 

House for 2012 is on Dec. 

31. These dinners are given 

on every fifth Monday. 

Plans will be finalized for 

this event at the meeting on

We can use more 

Sandwich Makers on Mondays 

at 3 PM. The bread, 

ham and cheese will be in 

the Inter-Faith Chapel’s 

kitchen where the sandwich 

makers assemble them. 

The sandwiches are given 

to the Men’s Shelter on 

Gude Drive. The need has 

increased from 70 sandwiches 

to 150 sandwiches 

per week. If you can help,

Season’s Greetings 

from the Olney Concert Band 

It is holiday time 

again and that brings the 

Olney Concert Band back to 

the stage at Leisure World. 

This always special seasonal 

performance is scheduled 

for Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 

7:30 PM in Clubhouse II’s 

auditorium. The band will 

play holiday classics and 

other ever-popular band 

music to get you in the spirit 

of the season. Tickets, $5 per 

person, are on sale in the 

E&R offices in Clubhouse 

I and II. This is a “not to be 

missed event!” 

On the podium this 

year is Joan Rackey. A native 

Marylander, she is also 

currently in her 37th year as 

the director of bands at Albert 

Einstein High School 

(Kensington) and its popular 

Jazz Ensemble. Joan is a 

graduate of Frostburg State, 

with a graduate degree in 

music from Towson State. 

The Olney Concert 

Band is a non-profit, 

community-based concert 

band, which was formed in 

1985. Members come from 

the greater Olney area as 

well as from other parts of 

Montgomery and Howard 

counties, and range in age 

from high school students to 

long-retired adults, all whom 

enjoy the thrill of making 

music together. Concerts are 

performed at numerous civic 

events and community facilities 

throughout the year and 

include a variety of musical 

styles. 

The Olney Concert 

Band is supported by 

member contributions and 

organizational donations.


Mark your calendars 

for this year’s Holiday 

Social brought to you by the 

Democratic Club of Leisure 

World (DCLW). The party, 

celebrating Hanukkah, 

Christmas, Kwanzaa and 

New Year, will take place in 

the Clubhouse I’s ballroom 

on Thursday, Dec. 13, 6:30 

to 8:30 PM. The event will 

coincide with the beginning 

of the 40th anniversary 

year of the Democrat Club 

of Leisure World, one of 

Maryland’s leading political 

organizations. 

The festivities 

will bring together Leisure 

World Democrats and their 

guests, not only to celebrate 

the holidays and the club’s 

founding, but also to toast 

the recent historic reelection 

of President Obama, 

which club members were 

very active in supporting, 

according to event organizer 

Barbara Levin. As always, 

our elected officials will be 

invited. 

Unlike most holiday 

parties, the DCLW 

Holiday Social will be free 

to club members and their 

out-of-town house guests.

Democratic Club of Leisure World 

Holiday Social Kicks Off LW Democrats’ 40th Anniversary Year By Emile Milne 

The gathering will be informal, 

with desserts, coffee 

and soft drinks available, as 

well as a cash bar serving 

wine and cocktails. Montgomery 

County’s popular 

Hubert Blake High School 

Jazz Band will liven up the 

evening with musical performances. 

“I remember the 

great time we had at last 

year’s holiday party,” said 

DCLW president Shirley 

Henderson. “So this year’s 

event, combined with the 

club’s anniversary, will be 

even bigger and better.” 

A highlight of the 

evening will be the kick-off 

of the club’s 40th anniversary 

year celebration. Founded 

in 1973 by a handful of 

activist Democratic residents 

of Leisure World, the 

DCLW has grown to nearly 

600 members and become a 

widely recognized force in 

Maryland local, state and 

national politics. 

During the recent 

election campaign, club 

members organized and 

worked in a months-long 

post card project in which 

75,000 messages were written 

and mailed urging seniors 

in battleground states 

to turn out for the President’s 

reelection. The initiative, 

honchoed by club member 

Martha Robinson and 

recognized in articles that 

appeared in the Gazette and 

Washington Post newspapers, 

undoubtedly made a 

difference in achieving the 

President’s close election 

victories in Virginia, Pennsylvania 

and Ohio. 

Among the club’s 

veteran members expected 

to attend the holiday social 

is Martin Weiss, a former 

vice president who joined 

the organization almost 20 

years ago. “It was the natural 

thing for me to do,” said Mr. 

Weiss who had been active 

with Democratic clubs in 

New York and Virginia. 

Ms. Henderson, 

who is in the second year 

of her first term as DCLW 

president, is asking Leisure 

World residents who may 

have photographs or other 

memorabilia relating to the 

club’s history to contact Ms. 

Levin by telephone (301- 

598-2242). These items will 

be used to put together a 

40th Anniversary Program 

and will be returned. 

Expressing her 

own amazement at the 

continued vibrancy of the 

organization, Ms. Henderson 

said, “It’s hard to 

imagine that after 40 years, 

the club remains so vital and 

relevant. It’s a testament to 

the energy, enthusiasm and 

dedication of our members 

during these critical times.” 

The Democratic 

Club will not hold a meeting 

in January and the next 

meeting of the club will be 

on Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013 


The tragic loss of 

my darling wife, beloved 

mother and grandmother, 

Doreen Kahn has affected us 

very deeply and we greatly 

appreciate and thank the Leisure 

World residents for their 

kind thoughts and expression 

of sympathy extended 

during our current sorrow. In 

appreciation, Henry, Ralph, 

Roy and family Kahn

Republican Club of Leisure World - Our Annual Holiday Party! 

By Fred Seelman 

The next meeting of 

the Republican Club of Leisure 

World is Monday, Dec. 

17 at 1:30 PM in Clubhouse 

I. At this meeting, the club 

will celebrate the season with 

a holiday party. Like last 

year, Karen Collins will 

lead us in the singing of 

carols. Members will bring 

holiday food delights. Getting 

to know each other 

and socializing will be our 

focus. Think of interesting 

political things to bring to 

our attention. Announce club 

New Year’s resolutions for 

us to follow. Give us your 

explanation of November’s 

election results and suggestions 

for changes. Because 

club officer nominations are 

coming up in January and 

elections in February, even 

a little personal politicking 

will be appropriate. Bring 

someone new to our meeting. 

Since over 1,500 Republicans 

live in Leisure 

World, there are hundreds 

of Republican neighbors to 

choose from. If you need 

help finding out about your 

Republican neighbors, contact 

Fred or Mary Ann by 

email or phone (see end of 

this article). They can tell 

you who your Republican 

neighbors are. 

At our last meeting, 

Mark Uncapher, chairman 

of the Montgomery 

County Republican Central 

Committee, the highest 

Republican official in our 

county, gave a presentation 

on what changes will 

likely occur as a result of 

the Nov. 6 election. His insights 

were invaluable. He 

covered everything, from 

the outcome of fiscal cliff tax 

and spending negotiations to 

national security. Members 

were so impressed that they 

kept him going with their 

questions long after he finished 

his presentation. Mark 

is a good friend of the LW 

Republican Club. 

There are still 

open local Republican positions: 

as a club officer, as precinct 

chairman at Clubhouse 

II and in the Republican 

Senior Coalition. Those who 

want to volunteer or have 

questions should contact our 

president, Fred Seelman, by 

emailing him at fseelman@ 

gmail.com, or Mary Ann 

Johnston, our past president 

and corresponding secretary, 

by calling her at 301-598- 

0647. 

Join us for another 

quality event on Dec. 17, expand 

your political horizons 

and enjoy both the conversation 

and the holiday food and 

drink delights. 

Leisure World Garden 

and Environmental Club (G&E) 

By Arnold Litman 

December Holidays. 

There is no denying that 

the holidays are fully upon 

us. G&E will celebrate the 

holidays on Monday, Dec. 

10 in Clubhouse I at 10 am. 

At that time, please bring in 

and share all variety of ethnic 

desserts. 

At the December meeting, 

which we call our Evergreen 

Workshop and Holiday Desserts 

Party, club members 

will create a holiday decoration. 

The Leisure World 

horticulturist will provide 

greenery, but you should 

bring ribbon, wire, coatings 

and other embellishments. 

The budding craftsperson is 

encouraged to also bring a 

favorite basket, vase, can or 

other interesting container, 

including fruit jars. You 

should also bring scissors, 

clippers or pruning shears. If 

desired, acorns, pinecones or 

other natural decorations will 

add to your project. You will 

be amazed how your hidden 

skills will emerge and you 

will leave with a holiday 

decoration that is useful and 

beautiful. 

G&E will vacation and 

not have a board or regular 

meeting in January. For the 

future, make a note in your 

new calendar that on Monday, 

Feb. 11 the club will host 

a planning meeting for our 

annual fundraiser scheduled 

for Monday, March 11. Funds 

from the event will provide 

for the purchase and planting 

of a special Arbor Day tree 

on Leisure World grounds. 

Happy holidays to all! 

Expires 12. 31. 12.


Rossmoor Woman’s 

Club members thank 

all of the generous buyers 

who visited our recent fruitcakes 

and pecans sale. The 

proceeds from this annual 

fundraiser go to help in our 

club’s support of several 

local charities. 

Still more thanks 

go to the guests who shared 

our Fall Musical Festival, 

dancing and listening to 

the delightful sounds of the 

“Bittersweet Band” led by 

Steve Kimble. This was a 

lovely evening shared by 

many returning attendees, 

as well as many new 

guests and visitors who 

came to enjoy the smooth 

and melodic sounds. We 

appreciate all those who 

came, including several 

members of local dance 

clubs, as well as those who 

just reminisced as they 

heard tunes from earlier 

times and events. This, too, 

was a fundraiser to help us 

meet our promised contributions 

to our Montgomery 

College Scholarship Fund, 

the Casey House Hospice, 

Fireside Forum of Leisure 

World, both Kensington 

and Wheaton Fire departments, 

Meals on Wheels, 

the Rossmoor Library and 

FISH. On Thanksgiving 

Day, and throughout the 

year, we give our grateful 

Celebration and Thanks ... the Rossmoor Woman’s Club

adults and children within 

Montgomery County. 

Now that the holiday 

season has begun, 

we eagerly anticipate the 

events on our collective 

December and January calendars. 

The club invites the 

women of Leisure World, 

together with friends and 

visitors, to share in our

Library News 

By Dena Leep 

It is good to be 

back. I have missed 

talking about books. 

While I was recuperating 

and all that, I realized 

I needed two birthday 

cards. I looked at my 

“supply.” None! Oh how 

I needed to go to the 

Leisure World library 

and get a fresh supply. 

I have now done that, 

and feel more secure. 

Do not let that happen 

to you! You know we 

have a wonderful variety 

of cards, and also the 

best prices around. That 

goes also for holiday 

cards—which we have. 

The supply is good—do 

not wait! 

We continue to 

get new books every 

few weeks. The list is 

posted on the new bulletin 

board. Here are a 

few of them: 

“A Good Man” 

by Mark Shriver, a son of 

the founder of the Peace 

Corps and architect of 

President Johnson’s War 

on Poverty. The son 

looks for the secret of his 

father’s joy, his devotion 

to others and his father’s 

sense of purpose. Mark 

also discovers many 

things about himself. 

Anne Perry has 

written another book—A 

William Monk story— 

”A Sunless Sea.” Fans 

are in for a heart-pounding 

novel of intrigue and 

suspense. Perry is at her 

best. 

J.K. Rowling 

has written her first novel 

for adults, “The Casual 

Vacancy.” The little town 

of Pagford is charming 

with a cobbled market 

square and an ancient 

abbey. But it is not what 

it seems. This is a selection 

fraught with passion 

duplicity and unexpected 

revelations. 

A non-fiction 

book is “The Second 

World War” by Antony 

Beevor, considered one 

of the world’s premier 

historians of WWII. This 

is a searing narrative that 

takes us from Hitler’s invasion 

of Poland in 1939 

to V-J Day in 1945. It is 

a single volume history 

that provides an intimate 

account of the war. 

A new author, 

Carol Rifka Brunt is 

the writer of “Tell the 

Wolves I’m Home.” This 

is a tale of love, grief and 

renewal as two lonely 

people become the unlikeliest 

of friends and 

find that sometimes you 

do not know you have 

lost someone until you 

have found them. It is a 

really gripping story. 

One other thing, 

the other day the Howard 

County library mailed 

one of our books back 

to us. Someone had returned 

one of our books 

to Howard County! 

Come on, readers—be 

alert— and bring our 

books back to us. 

League of Women Voters 

By Elaine Apter 

With all the talk 

of the economy these 

days, the league has 

decided to look into the 

Montgomery County 

budget process. We will 

discuss who is responsible 

for preparing the 

budget, as well as where 

the monies come from 

and how they are distributed. 

O u r R o s s - 

moor unit will meet on 

Wednesday, Dec. 12 in 

Clubhouse I at 10 am for 

coffee; the meeting will 

start at 10:15. This will 

be a consensus meeting, 

so all league members 

are urged to attend to be 

sure your opinions are 

counted. We also voted at 

our last meeting to have 

lunch together, so please 

be prepared to stay and 

join us for a little holiday 

celebration. 

Our 2013 calendars 

are available. 

Those of you who are 

annual purchasers know 

how informative these 

calendars are. They list 

all the important county 

phone numbers, libraries 

with hours and addresses, 

elected officials 

and more. And the most 

popular benefit of our 

calendars is that you 

can erase on them. The 

full size spiral calendars 

are still $7 each. We 

also have some twoyear 

pocket (2013-15) 

calendars at $5 each, if 

purchased separately. 

However, you can purchase 

a combination of 

a full size calendar and 

pocket calendar for $10. 

Calendars will again be 

available through Gold 

Castle Jewelers in the 

Leisure World Shopping 

Center.

After decades of court 

practice, my most impressive 

experience was in the 

case of Victorson v. Bach 

Laundry Machine Company 

et ano. This took place about 

40 years ago when I made 

the law on product liability. 

The statute of limitations 

for contracts was four years 

from the date of the transaction. 

And the statute of 

limitations for negligence 

was three years from the 

date of the accident or injury. 

The facts as alleged and 

pleaded were that the Bach 

Laundry Machine Co. had 

manufactured a predryer 

that removed all water before 

being placed in a dryer. 

The manufacturer made the 

machine about 15 years prior 

to the accident and had sold 

it to a retail employer. He 

in turn sold the machine to 

a laundromat in a building 

at least 10 years prior to 

the accident. At the time 

of manufacture of the spin 

dryer, the top lid required 

a lock to prevent opening 

while the drum was whirling 

and spin drying. This 

feature was never employed 

by Bach in the manufacture 

of this item. 

Moreover, the manufacturer 

had to have privity to 

the purchaser and the new 

purchaser had to have privity 

with the retailer. My client 

was merely a user and had 

no privity with the seller. Although 

there was a limitation 

on negligence the likelihood 

of recovery was remote. We 

needed the manufacturer as a 

prime defendant. My client 

had lifted the lid and while 

looking in the machine she 

could not see the turning 

of the spinner. The spinner 

went much faster than the 

visual view of the interior 

of the machine and hence it 

could not be determined to 

operate. My client put her 

hand in the machine and she 

was spun by the rotator and 

virtually snapped her arm 

from its socket. 

Our theory, which did not 

exist prior to this date, was 

predicated upon a failure 

to fulfill the responsibility 

to the trade practice that it 

must stop the machine when 

the lid was opened. Product 

liability had no affirmative 

defense of contributory 

negligence inasmuch as the 

theory of liability was the 

failure to properly manufacture 

the item when the 

trade had such a safety at 

the time of manufacture. 

The State of Limitations 

commenced from the date 

of the happening of the accident 

and ran three years as 

previously stated. Otherwise 

the Contract Statute Limitation 

would have terminated 

within four years from the 

manufacture and original 

sale. We went to the Appellate 

Division and they 

found against us. In the 

Court of Appeals there was 

a reversal and we were able 

to prosecute our case and 

we settled the action during 

trial. I received a six page 

gold encrusted decision. 

This paved the way for 

other injured litigants. The 

citation was 373 NYS 2d 39, 

335 NE 2d 275. 

Interesting Talk by Nissim Reuben 

about the “Jews of India” 

Presented by JRLW and The Coming of Age Program By David Firestone 

Nissim Reuben, program director of Indian-Jewish 

American Relations of the American Jewish Committee 

and faculty fellow at the School of International Service, 

American University, will discuss the Jews of India on 

Thursday, Dec. 20 in Clubhouse I’s Crystal Ballroom from 1 

to 2:30 PM. Tickets will be available at E&R in Clubhouse 

I beginning Tuesday, Dec. 4 for $6 per person, checks only 

payable to JRLW. 

Jewish communities of India include the Jews of 

Malabar in Southern India (Cochin Jews), whose community 

date back at least 2,000 years; the Baghdadi Jews who 

came mostly from Iraq in the 1900s; and the Bene Israel

Leisure World Computer Center 

By Roy Rosfeld 


Our training director, 

Donna Copeland, 

has finished her basic 

training part of our computer 

training and is 

almost finished with the 

Internet and email portion. 

We will probably 

not offer this training 

until after the first of 

the year. 

In the meantime, 

we are in the planning 

stage for holding a bunch 

of what we call “Dropins” 

These are sessions 

dedicated to some specific 

aspect of the computer 

world. We call them 

“Dropins” because we 

do not require advance 

registration or payment. 

In other words, they are 

“free” except there may 

be a slight charge for 

copying handouts. These 

have been very successful 

and informative in the 

past. Here are the names 

and subject matters for 

several of them. First, 

we have “How to Work 

with Spreadsheets,” 

“How to Use Shortcut 

Keystrokes” (this is for 

working more efficiently 

in your work). Next we 

have one named “Cut, 

Copy, and Paste Techniques” 

that is handy for 

quickly working with 

text files. “Hardware 

Technology” provides 

basic information for 

working with various 

pieces of hardware, such

We have posted

you are interested in participating 

in one of more 

our Dropins, please put 

your name and telephone 

number on those you are 

interested in attending 

– this will help us with 

our planning. We will let 

you know when specific 

sessions are scheduled. 

Finally, some 

basic training programs 

have been loaded on the 

computers in the center. 

The training programs 

we have installed will

Friendly and Loyal Wait Staff 

On Halloween day, the first nice day following storm Sandy, my daughter and 

I decided to walk up to the Terrace Room for lunch. When we arrived we could see that 

the restaurant was short-staffed, an obvious storm-related problem. Once we were seated, 

I saw a few tables at which customers were acting either indignant or outraged that they 

weren’t getting their meals fast enough. I could hear the staff that was there apologizing 

and trying to make it up to the unhappy customers, although I thought they should have 

been happy just to be there with food and service available in the first place. Not once did 

a person working there get angry or defensive in spite of the treatment they were given. I 

just wish that we who are so lucky to live in a lovely community where we have so many 

services available to us could remember that when our food isn’t being served as quickly 

as we would like it to be. Life is too short for that kind of behavior by our residents. We 

are fortunate to have such friendly and loyal wait staff in our restaurants and we should 

remember to show our appreciation to them always.

Fun and Fancy Notes 

by Allan Okin 

From Thanksgiving 

through New 

Year’s day, we share in 

the joys of the holiday 

season with our members 

and supporters throughout 

Leisure World. For 

the final time this year, 

allow me to express a 

hearty “Thank You!” to 

readers who attended 

Fun & Fancy’s fall musical, 

“Songs in his Heart,” 

and to the entire cast 

and crew who worked 

over a span of two to 

five months to bring this 

melodious show to fruition. 

Now, we are in the 

throes of planning our 

spring comedy, and we 

certainly want to maintain 

the momentum we 

have recently achieved; 

that is, we want to once 

again put forth our best 

effort and have fun while 

doing so, with the final 

reward of entertaining 

our audiences. 

In the interim, 

please plan to join us 

for our monthly meetings/shows 

on the first 

Wednesday evening of 

each month in Clubhouse 

II’s auditorium. Please 

note the following dates: 

We d n e s d a y, 

Dec. 5 at 7:30 PM – 

Michael Schwartz will 

show highlights from 

the 2012 PBS 25th anniversary 

production 

of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 

“Phantom of the 

Opera,” performed at 

the Royal Albert Hall, 

starring Ramin Karimloo 

and Sierra Burggess. 

Then, partake in festive 

treats and socializing, 

which is free for members 

and just $2 per 

person for non-members 

(every month!). 

Wednesday, Jan. 

2, 2013 - Plans are 

underway for Michael 

Schwartz to direct a 

one-book, one-act comedy. 

Read the next column 

for specific details about 

audition date(s) and 

name of the show. The 

Jan. 2 meeting/show date 

is subject to change to 

Wednesday, Jan. 9.

Italian Social and Cultural Club - The Christmas Spirit Dinner 

By J.B. 

T h e a n n u a l 

Christmas dinner of the 

Italian Club is Sunday, 

Dec. 9 in Clubhouse I’s 

Crystal Ballroom starting 

with a social hour at 

5 PM and dinner being 

served at 5:45. The menu 

choices are beef tenderloin, 

chicken Florentine 

or broiled salmon. Be 

sure to write your dinner 

choice on the check 

and take it to the E&R 

Office in Clubhouse I. 

Cost is $25, with checks 

made out to the Italian 

Social and Cultural 

Club. The reservation 

deadline is Wednesday, 

Dec. 5. There will be 

reserved tables for those 

who want to sit together. 

However, if you want a 

reserved table, you must 

include, with your check, 

a list of the names of 

the people with whom 

you want to sit. Betty 

Altmann is chairperson 

for reservations. If you 

have any questions, call 

her at 301-598-1846. If 

a list is not included with 

your check, you will be 

seated with other people. 

This meeting is open to 

your family and friends. 

So bring them all. 

Following the 

dinner there will be a 

program featuring Steve 

Flynn (alias “Frank Sinatra” 

and “others”). His 

renditions of Sinatra’s 

songs are terrific. This 

should be a wonderful 

program. 

Remember to 

keep the date of March 

24, 2013 open for the 

March meeting to hear 

the President of the 

National Italian American 

Foundation (NIAF), 

Gabriel Battista, who 

will have information 

if you are interested in 

looking up your ancestry 

and history. 

Jean McGoldrick will be 

putting together another 

amorous and zany look 

at “the aspects of love” 

to celebrate the most 

romantic month of all. 

Contact Jean (301-438- 

2535) if you are interested 

in being a part of 

this show. 

Okay, the “old 

hands” are back on deck, 

but all members are 

again encouraged to 

come up with ideas for 

our monthly shows. You 

have the opportunity to 

try something new and 

different every month, 

and generous assistance 

is available. Take a small 

step to bolster your 

confidence and offer a 

novel look to the world 

of entertainment. Call 

President Aileen Feldman 

(301-598-8516) and 

share your ideas with 

her, then reserve a date 

in January, March, April 

or May. Just have fun, 

nothing fancy.

Comedy and Humor Club 

by Al Karr (301-598-5077, alkarr@msn.com) 

We are planning 

a big birthday bash at the 

CAHC as soon as the entertainment 

committee can put 

the occasion together. The 

club turned 25 years old in 

May and we hope to have a 

proper celebration before the 

calendar year is over. 

Treasurer Sumner 

Levin reports that the paidup 

membership ($5 annual 

dues were due when our new 

year began June 1) has been 

stalled at 53 but was certain 

to resume its rise again. 

Indeed, two new members 

showed up at the Nov. 20 pre- 

Thanksgiving meeting, Sam 

Taffel and Louis Smith, and 

two the week before, Jerry 

Gillman and Harolyn Cohen. 

And we welcome new 

members with open arms— 

come join in the weekly 

merriment, laying some 

jokes and humorous anecdotes 

on the gathered throng 

or just sitting back having 

some laughs at the comedy 

delivered by others. We meet 

every Tuesday from 1:30 to 

3 PM in Clubhouse II. We 

usually have a presentation 

of an old-time TV comedy 

show on the fourth Tuesday 

of the month, from president 

Sam Hack’s hoard, but that 

was in doubt for Nov. 27 

because Sam was in rehab. 

We always start 

with a song and usually end 

with one, too; and songs sung 

those times at the Nov. 13 

and Nov. 20 meetings were 

My Heart Belongs to Daddy 

and When You’re Smiling; 

and Stormy Weather, the 

stirring This Is My Country 

and Paper Dolly (all led by 

Dolly) and I’ve Got Rhythm 

(led by Vice President Mim 

Pariser and Dolly). 

Wending their 

merry way to the awesome 

microphone in the recent 

two meetings were Libby 

Rubin, Homer Wehr, Ellie 

Weingarten, Gloria Horwitz, 

Irv Kabik, Dolly, Program 

Chairwoman Irene Spector, 

Mim, Sumner, Betty Lichenstein, 

Roy Rosfeld, Stanley 

Galef and I. 

Elllie: wife tells 

husband she had been unfaithful 

three times: when 

the banker threatened to 


foreclose, when she lacked 

money to pay the doctor for 

her husband’s vital operation—and 

when he needed 

62 more votes when he ran 

for golf club president. 

Gloria: they had to 

pay $1,000 for an ounce of 

lawyer’ brains—“you know 

how many lawyers we had 

to kill to get an ounce of 

brains” Irv: sign in doctor’s 

office—“We specialize in 

women and other diseases.” 

Dolly sang Climb Every 

Mountain, from Sound of 

Music, Somewhere Over the 

Rainbow, and a Thanksgiving 

parody of Crazy, apologies 

to Patsy Cline. And she

Sodas and water will

wrap up and enjoy the winter 

evening with a room full of 

photo enthusiasts. 

Remember to bring one 

print photograph to hang in 

the corridor of Clubhouse I 

outside the Maryland Room 

on Thursday, Dec. 6 between 

10 and 11 am, so that Ray 

Kurlander can help with the 

details of the presentation. 

These prints are an addition 

to the décor of the clubhouse 

and contribute to the festive 

and international atmosphere 

of the community. The corridors 

of the clubhouses are 

seen by many visitors and 

residents. 

Two events in January

believing in Santa Claus at

guy asked her for her autograph. 

Mim: told there was 

an invisible man in the waiting 

room, the doctor said, “I 

can’t see him today.” Betty 

asked if anyone ever got 

cranky, the audience sang 

out, “Never.” Libby: “I have 

one little thing,” and Roy 

spoke up—“So do I.” 

Man was hired for

Man said indignantly, “I’m a

not Polish, but how did you 

know my name is Walter.”

got angry at his parrot’s 

profanity, stuck him in the 

refrigerator. Later, took him 

out, and parrot said: “May

that as a technical editor, he 

wondered why, at age 47, 

they were making footnotes 

hard to read…then he found

Leisure World Snow Plan 

BLUEPRINT FOR A SAFE AND HEALTHY WINTER 

By Richard Jones, Grounds Maintenance Supervisor 

When a snow emergency is announced by Montgomery County authorities, snow emergency restrictions will become effective in Leisure World as well. 

Leisure World is private property encompassing 55 miles of roads and walkways. Therefore, the county or state provide no assistance during a snow emergency. 

McFall & Berry Landscape Management, Inc. Performs all of the snow removal inside Leisure World. Snow removal is overseen by the 

Grounds Department. 

When Snow Begins to Fall 

The first priority will be to provide continual access for rescue vehicles and automobiles required by residents to obtain emergency medical care, and to ensure 

all-important access to our Medical Center. The Medical Center will be given top priority at all times. 

Snowplows will clear primary access roadways, parking lots and driveways in the following order: 

FIRST, through streets: Rossmoor Boulevard, South and North Leisure World Boulevards, Interlachen Drive, Norbeck Boulevard, Gleneagles Drive, Chiswick Court, 

Connecticut Avenue, Kelmscot Drive, Hyde Park Drive, Twin Branches Drive, Fitzhugh Lane, Tarkington Lane, Prince Frederick Way, Pine Orchard Drive and 

Pennfield Circle. 

SECOND, primary access roads: Fiske Drive and Terrace, Edelmar Drive and Terrace, Ludham Drive, Forest Edge and Glade Drives, Vantage Hill Road, 

Bramblewood Drive, Bassett Lane and Glen Eagles Drive. 

THIRD: Remaining named “Courts,” “Squares,” “Terraces” and “Ways” that serve a dozen or more units. 

FOURTH: Driveways providing access to less than a dozen dwelling units. 

When the Snow Stops Falling 

Shoveling crews will start clearing entrances and sidewalks at the Clubhouses and Administration Building, if the facilities are open, followed by primary access paths for 

apartment-style buildings and individual units (primary access means from main entrance to parking lot). In apartment-style buildings, if you do not use the front door as 

primary access because of a disability, call the Grounds Department at 301-598-1314 to arrange special clearing. 

Machine-clearing of perimeter walks and other long stretches of walks will be done concurrently. Since machine-clearing is much faster, these long walks may be completed 

before hand-shoveling crews have reached other primary access walks. 

Our snow plan calls for completion of all of the foregoing activities within 24 hours after the snow or precipitation has stopped. 

Parking Restrictions During the Snow Emergency 

Do not park on streets designated as a Snow Emergency Route. These include Rossmoor Boulevard, Leisure World Boulevard, Gleneagles Drive, Chiswick Court, 

Interlachen Drive, Norbeck Boulevard and Connecticut Avenue. 

Do not park in Reserved or Visitors parking spaces in your parking lot. Your Mutual may have designated these spaces as areas for snow handling. Residents affected 

will be contacted by their Mutual to move their vehicles to assigned temporary parking spaces prior to snow removal. 

The director of security or a special police officer can assist in identifying a resident whose automobile may be obstructing snow-removal operations. 

Clearing Snowbound Vehicles 

It is not part of McFall & Berry's contract to shovel out parked vehicles. 

If necessary, call a relative, friend or neighbor to request help. Another option would be to utilize the services of individuals who will do the work for a fee. Security 

requires anyone wanting to shovel out cars for a fee to register with the Grounds Department at 301-598-1314. If you know of anyone interested in providing this 

service, have that person call the Grounds Department as soon as possible. The Grounds Department will provide identification cards. Security requests that you 

report any individuals who do not have proper ID. 

The Grounds Department does not set shoveling fees, nor is it responsible for any damages that may be incurred. 

When You Need Medical Attention 

f Call 911 for all medical emergencies. 

f Give the Grounds Department at 301-598-1314 a minimum of three hours notice if you have a medical appointment you are unable to reschedule. Make sure your medical 

facility will be open; don’t assume that it will be. 

f Call the Grounds Department to have your name placed on a snow-clearance priority list if you have an ongoing critical medical requirement such as dialysis, 

oxygen, chemotherapy, radiation, etc. 

Some Additional Guidelines 

f Call the Main Gate at 301-598-1044 to report stuck vehicles or accidents. 

f Call the Grounds Department at 301-598-1314 with your snow-clearance inquiries. Due to the high volume of calls and the department’s need to be out overseeing snowremoval 

operations, calls will be monitored and prioritized on a regular basis around the clock. Calls will be returned as quickly as possible according to urgency. 

f Now is a good time to stock up on essentials such as food and medicines, and other items such as batteries and reading materials. Be prepared to keep at least one 

week’s supply of essentials on hand during the winter months. 

f If you are in doubt about venturing from your residence, it’s best not to go out. Also, wait until conditions are safe before putting out trash or newspapers. 

Communications During the Emergency 

f During a snow emergency, do not call McFall & Berry’s office for routine information, complaints or scheduling issues. 

f Calls to the Grounds Department should be limited to problems related to the snow emergency. 

f Call the Daily Events Line at 301-598-1313 for up-to-date snow-related information, including trash pick-up, bus scheduling, cancellation of Clubhouse I and II 

events and activities, and facility closings. 

f Check the Leisure World closed-circuit TV system for snow-removal updates. 

f This snow plan also may be found on our Leisure World Web site, LWMC.com, under the Snow Removal web page.

General Petraeus and Chess 

By Bernie Ascher and Pat Leanza 


It is too late to 

advise General Petraeus. 

He has already lost his 

job and tarnished his 

reputation because of an 

extramarital affair. He 

could have played chess 

instead. 

Too bad. Now he 

has to wear a scarlet letter 

A on his chest next to his 

campaign ribbons. Chess 

is available everywhere— 

even in Afghanistan. 

Chess is ethical, moral and 

socially acceptable. You 

cannot be blackmailed for 

playing chess. To fill his 

spare time, he could have 

played chess. 

What happened 

to General Petraeus has 

not happened at Leisure 

World because there is a 

Chess Club. Witness the 

chess diagram on this page 

(courtesy of chesslab. 

com). It is a recent game 

at the LW Chess Club, in 

which White won in the 

next four moves. Can you 

figure it out 

While you are 

working on that, here 

is a reminder that the 

LW Chess Club plays 

on Monday, Wednesday 

and Friday in Clubhouse 

II between 1 and 4 PM. 

Membership is free and 

open to all. There are no 

boring meetings. Drop by 

and play a friendly game. 

For further information, 

call Club President Bernie 

Ascher (301-598-8577) or 

Activities Chairman Pat 

Leanza (240-242-4516). 

Now, here is how 

White won the game in 

four moves. First, he 

moves his Rook from a1 

to h1. Black responds by 

moving his Queen from e7 

to g7. White then captures 

the Black Pawn at h6 

with the Knight from g4. 

Black moves his Queen 

from g7 to h7. White 

moves his Knight to f7 

to check the King. This 

is the key move. Black’s 

Queen cannot capture the 

Knight because his King 

would be checked by 

the White Rook. Black’s 

Queen cannot capture 

the Rook because his 

King is in check by the 

White Knight. His only 

legal move is to bring the 

King to g7, whereupon the 

White Queen captures the 

Black Queen at h7 and 

checkmates the King! 

So do not make 

the same mistake as 

General Petraeus. Visit 

Clubhouse II and play 

chess instead!

The Art Scene (RAG) By Dorre Faulkner 

This busy time of 

the year can be stressful; 

so take a break and enjoy 

the art movie on Thursday, 

Dec. 6 at 3:30 PM in 

Clubhouse I. “Pablo Picasso, 

a Primitive Soul” is 

truly worth seeing. Come 

early for some refreshments 

and relax for a free

respite. 

The annual International 

Miniature 

Exhibit is on now through 

December at the Strathmore 

Mansion in Bethesda. 

How do they paint 

with a one-hair brush A 

magnifying glass helps. 

One of the best 

kept secrets is the Eyre 

Leisure World Travel Museum 

Loop DC day trip. 

For $29, you are taken 

downtown and dropped 

off for four hours of pure 

pleasure at the National 

Gallery of Art. Time for a 

nice meal, some shopping 

and, of course, incredible 

art. The next time Eyre 

announces their Museum 

Loop DC trip, sign up 

quickly! (You can find the 

Eyre ad in each issue of 

the Leisure World News.) 

The staff of the 

Artful Framer shop in 

Olney (near Rite Aid) 

are very helpful. I had 

a finished canvas and a 

bargin frame. The only 

problem was the canvas 

would not fit the frame. 

With a hammer and a saw, 

Lorie was able to correct 

the problem. It took a 

few minutes and cost a 

smile. People involved 

in art are a special breed; 

art give meaning to our 

lives. Just ask anyone in 

our art classes. 

Joining an art 

class in the next session 

in January might be just 

what you need to start the 

new year. Art celebrates 

life. It is time to celebrate.

L.W. Golf News By Rita Molyneaux 

Virginia Beach Senior Golf & Fun Group, Oct. 21-27, 2012 

Submitted by Sperry Storm 

Again in 2012, we were housed in the Quality 

Inn and Suites at 705 Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach. 

We had all-day access to the Hospitality Suite for snacks, 

drinks, games and socializing. The weather was perfect for 

golf, with temperatures ranging around 70 and 80 degrees. 

We were fortunate in completing our week of fun and golf 

before Hurricane Sandy had any significant effect. 

For the second year, the team of Gene and Barbara 

Horan and Sperry and Christa Storm coordinated the activities 

The Leisure World 

Interfaith Committee for 

the Homeless and Working 

Poor and The Inter-Faith 

Chapel extend an invitation 

for you and your friends 

and neighbors to come and 

enjoy the sweet sounds of 

the voices of children from 

our nearby neighborhood. On 

Thursday, Dec. 13 at 10 am, 

the Georgian Forest Elementary 

School Chorus returns to 

perform a “holiday concert.” 

Residents have become involved 

with Georgian Forest 

School during the past few 

years through our annual 

book collections and backto-school 

supply drives. This 

concert is their way of say- 

at the hotel and the golf courses. They provided an enjoyable 

week of golf for our senior group of 67 golfers plus 13 

“Adventurers.” We played on four different golf courses all 

within 10 miles of the Quality Inn. They were Heron Ridge, 

Hell’s Point, Signature at West Neck and Honey Bee. This 

year, a high priority was placed on getting “senior” tees for 

the ladies. For this, we had some success; three of the four 

courses met our requirement to various degrees. 

Generous snacks and entertainment were provided 

and golfing awards were presented each day in the Hospitality 

Room between golf and dinnertime. 

Georgian Forest Children’s Chorus 

Thursday, Dec. 13 From the Inter-Faith Chapel 

ing “thanks” to the Leisure 

World community for our 

encouragement and support. 

Rosemary Hudacheck will 

direct the 60-voice choir as 

they perform a variety of 

musical pieces. The performance 

will be held in the 

Inter-Faith Chapel sanctuary. 

Do come and support this 

wonderful program. It will 

make you feel good all over! 

Sounds like the Leisure World golfers did us proud. 

Here are some of our winners. 

Monday, Oct. 22 – Heron Ridge: Two Net Better 

Balls of Four, Men’s Flight, Women’s Flight. Leisure World 

members of the teams that won: Christa Storm first, Abigail 

Murton second; Dick Austing, Joe Stewart second, Doug 

Brasse fifth; Closest to the Pin – Christa Storm. 

Tuesday, Oct. 23 – Hells Point: Mixed Scramble, 

Step Aside – Two Drives per Player. Leisure World members 

of the teams that won: Doug Allston, Dick Austing first and 

Doug Brasse fourth; Closest to the Pin, Doug Allston. 

Thursday, Oct. 25 – Signature at West Neck - One 

Better Ball (Net) of Four. No Leisure World Winners. 

Friday, Oct. 26 – Honey Bee – One on par 5, Two 

on par 4, One on par: Three Men’s Flight, Women’s Flight. 

Leisure World members of the teams that won: Doug Allston 

first, Marvin Tabb second, Joe Stewart fourth. 

Arrangements for next year are already in the works 

and the dates “penciled in” are Oct. 20-26, 2013. Registration 

will begin in June 2013. The coordinating committee members 

are Gene and Barbara Horan, Sperry and Christa Storm. 

Believe It or Not! All of these stories are true and 

have happened at clubs or courses in the Coachella Valley 

in California. 

A guy walks into the Pro Shop and accuses the Pro 

of sharpening the tees so that when he sticks his hands in 

his pockets, they poke his fingers. 

A club allows pull carts and keeps the handles in 

the shop. A lady asks if she can rent a handle. She takes the 

handle outside and puts her bag strap on the handle dragging 

her bag behind her. I guess she did not have a pull cart. 

There are three guys playing golf on an afternoon 

at the club. One of the guys has a bad heart and collapses 

on hole #8 green. The other two guys play #9 and tell the 

Pro Shop to call an ambulance when they make the turn. 

A guy asks his pro to have lunch so they can discuss 

something; they eat and when the bill comes the member 

says to the pro, “your half is…”


Peripheral Neuropathy Group of Leisure World 

By Herb Fine (1-240-669-7908, fine15100@comcast.net) 

On Nov. 18, Beth 

Shapiro gave an excellent 

presentation on 

“What depression is and 

is not.” She had prepared 

a brief test for us and we 

endeavored to determine 

the difference between 

sadness and deep depression. 

Mrs. Shapiro is a 

licensed clinical social 

worker in the Senior 

Services Department of 

the Jewish Social Service 

Agency (JSSA) in Rock- 

ville. She is a delight. 

Many of the 

people present averred 

that the meeting in December 

should be cancelled 

as preparation for 

Christmas would prevent 

them from attending. Our 

board agreed and so we 

will resume in January.

of Autonomic Symptoms: 

Treatment of orthostatic 

hypertension 

includes both adoptive 

procedures and pharmacologic 

agents. Adaptive 

procedures includes, 

among others, standing 

up slowly to prevent 

sudden changes in blood 

pressure, crossing your 

legs or coughing, which 

reduces blood return 

from the legs. Pharmacologic 

agents that include 

flurocortisone (Fluorinal) 

to help maintain 

blood pressure need to 

strike a median between 

having a sufficiently high 

blood pressure when 

standing up and a pressure 

that is not too high 

when sitting down.

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. 

Some thoughts 

for a Happy, Healthy 

Holiday Season. Here 

are some tips for not just 

surviving but thriving 

during the holidays with 

a minimum of stress and 

weight gain: Exercise. 

Try to keep up your 

regular exercise routine. 

Exercise helps burn those 

extra holiday calories. 

Holidays are full of 

stresses – good and bad. 

Exercise is one of the best 

stress busters known. It 

distracts you from your 

worries and is known to 

make people feel calmer 

and happier. If you feel 

tired, exercising can re 

energize you. Even a 

few minutes of exercise 

can refresh you. Experts 

agree that, if you cannot 

find 30 minutes in a 

row to exercise, you can 

get your activity in five 

to 10 minute chunks. 

Avoid temptations. Food 

is everywhere during 

the holidays. You can 

take steps to help make 

wise choices and stick 

to your meal plan. Eat a 

small snack before you 

go to a party or other 

event where there will 

be high-calorie food. 

When you arrive, check 

the room to see where the 

food is – then stand as 

far away from it as possible. 

It is easy to nibble 

when you are next to the 

food. Start off with tea, 

coffee, sparkling water 

or diet soft drink to fill 

your stomach and slow 

your eating. Look over 

all the food before taking 

any. Take a small plate. 

Eat small portions of 

special foods first (foods 

that you like and are only 

available at this time of 

the year). If you develop 

a craving, wait 10 to 15 

minutes before giving 

in. Many cravings will 

go away by then. Instead

Veterans’ Day Luncheon 

By George Stephens, special to the Leisure World News 


On Sunday, Nov. 

11, 2012, 182 of our 

friends and neighbors 

who served in the military 

of the United States 

honored us with their presence 

for a short program 

and luncheon held in the 

Ballroom of Clubhouse I. 

The Master of 

Ceremonies was Barbara 

Cronin, chair of the 

Leisure World Board of 

Directors. Betty Printz 

Sims provided the music 

and directed a sing-a-long 

of all the anthems of the 

U.S. Armed Forces with 

members standing for 

“their” service anthem. 

The chairman 

who worked so diligently 

for the last six months to 

put this affair together is 

Billie Saunders. Without 

her efforts, we would not 

have had such an enjoyable 

affair. She cannot 

be thanked enough for 

putting this luncheon on 

with donations from Clay 

Kenny Roofing Company, 

Eyre Bus Services, Fred 

Johnson Garage Doors, 

H&H Concrete Corporation, 

Inc., Leisure World 

Ballroom Dance Club, 

Leisure World Foundation, 

McFall and Berry 

Landscaping, and Stansbury 

Building Services. 

Because of the 

generosity of the sponsors, 

our veterans were 

“guests” for a delicious 

time of celebration. 

If you know a 

veteran, thank him or 

her for their service. God 

Bless them and our great 

country. And, remember, 

there are no longer any 

veterans of World War I 

with us today.


Traditionally, this time of year our programs 

turn to music and we have scheduled: Dec. 

7 – Einstein Key Club Jazz Band Seniors; Dec. 

14 – Ed Laskin “Minora Musical; Dec. 21- Blake 

High School Band “Holiday Music,” on the first 

day of winter. 

The Community Service and the Priority 

One committees have collected a large number of 

new and used books for grades k thru 3 at Harmony 

Kiwanis Club of Leisure World By Chuck Lavin (301-589-0463) 

Hills Elementary School. These committees met 

with the Harmony Hill’s administrative leadership 

before Thanksgiving to present these books. 

Do not forget to bring your 2013 calendars 

you have received in the mail to our next meeting 

as they will be distributed among veteran groups in 

Montgomery County. 

Happy birthday to Nelle Reid, Dec. 12, and

should use “marked” 

crosswalks. 

Pedestrian traffic 

encountering motorized 

scooters is encouraged 

to step aside and 

allow the scooter to 

pass. Not only is this 

considerate to your nonambulatory 

neighbor, 

but also prevents the 

pedestrian from being 

accidentally struck by 

the scooter.

Leisure World Gardens 

by Mary Lalley 

The operative 

word of the day is “Clean!” 

Shed 1 was emptied and 

should, by the printing of 

this article, have been replaced. 

All items left were 

removed and placed in 

Shed 2. Please claim them 

and take them home. If the 

bins can be reused, they 

will need scrubbing and 

painting. We need a crew 

for that. The plots should 

be clear of all equipment 

and buckets. The only 

acceptable covering is 

brown or black sheeting 

specific for that purpose. 

All other colorful plastic 

tarps are discouraged 

because they will hold 

water and attract insects. 

It was suggested at the 

last meeting that gardens 

be inspected during the 

winter months to insure 

that the area looks neat. 

This is a trust area and 

we should keep it in good 

order. When prospective 

residents tour Leisure 

World, we hope it will be 

an asset and not a detriment. 

So please clear 

gardens of everything except 

tomato cages, which 

should be lying down 

and anchored if possible. 

If chairs must be left, be 

sure they are turned over 

and not have wells where 

water can puddle. 

Officers for the 

coming season are Chairperson 

Betty Kontaxis, 

Vice Chairperson Susan 

Curow, who will also 

continue to assign plots, 

Secretary Ray Durley 

and Treasurer Barry Tossman. 

Harvey Wolf will 

supervise grounds with 

help from Ray Chuptka. 

Yours truly will continue 

to fill this space. Franklin 

Nash will do repairs and 

clear plots as needed with 

board approval. 

Eighty plots have 

not been renewed. This 

needs to happen by Dec 

1. Plots not renewed by 

then will be assigned by 

Susan Curow to people 

on the waiting list. If a 

plot was neglected and in 

violation all season, that 

plot will not be renewed 

and the deposit will not be 

returned, but used to clear 

and clean the area to make 

it plantable. If gardeners 

intend to fence a plot, 

please check with Susan 

or an inspector to be sure 

the plan is in compliance. 

So the 2012 season 

is about over. A few 

hardy folks are still harvesting 

fall crops, but 

mostly our little farm has 

been put to bed for the 

winter. It is catalog time 

as we contemplate what 

entices us, be it veggies 

or flowers. We need to 

stay fit during the cold 

months so we can bend 

and dig and weed and help 

Harvey with the chores 

of the gardens. We wish 

all of you readers happy 

holidays and a safe winter. 

We will chat again in 

March when we can dig 

in the dirt again! 

Pedestrian Crosswalks 

A Message from Security 

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. Motorists failing 

to yield the right-of-way 

to these residents show 

no regard for the safety 

of pedestrians. These 

people are your friends 

and neighbors. We urge 

that you follow the mandate 

in the Maryland 

State Drivers Handbook, 

which states: 

“ P e d e s t r i a n 

Right-of-Way. Pedestrians 

in a crosswalk, whether 

marked or unmarked, 

have the Right-of-Way, 

except when they enter the 

cross-walk at a red light or 

against the direction of the 

traffic officer.” 

When a driver of 

a vehicle is approaching a 

crosswalk, the driver must 

come to a complete stop 

when a pedestrian is crossing 

the roadway on which 

the vehicle is traveling. 

Whenever any vehicle 

is stopped at a marked 

or unmarked crosswalk 

to permit a pedestrian to 

cross the roadway, the 

driver of any other vehicle 

approaching from the rear 

shall not overtake and pass 

such a stopped vehicle.

Leisure World 10 Pin Bowling League 

By Rita Mastrorocco 


As winter approaches the following Bad 

Weather Rule is in effect: If Montgomery County 

schools are either closed or on a two-hour delay 

based on snow or icy conditions, we do not bowl! 

The league is based on handicaps with averages 

for the bowlers ranging from 89 to 12. If you 

have not bowled in years, come out and join the fun. 

The league standings, as of Nov. 16 are as 

follows: the Half and Half in first place; the Huggers 

in second place; and The Jokers in third place. 

The week of Nov. 16 top scores are as follows: 

Scratch Game – the Half and Half with 646 

pins; Scratch Series – the Half and Half with 1,811 

pins; Handicap Game – Wild Things with 895 pins; 

Handicap Series – The Jokers with 2,526 pins; High 

Average Men – Denny Woolaver with 192 pins;

Scratch Series Women – Chris Porter with 484 pins; 

Handicap Game Women – Carroll Ann Fisher with 

236 pins; Handicap Series Women – Ursula Costa 

with 647 pins. 

If you are going to miss a week, you can prebowl 

the games. The bowler must make an appointment 

to pre-bowl their league games and the bowler 

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

the next week. If you pre-bowl, please give a copy 

of your pre-bowl scores to the counter person and 

have it placed in the Leisure World League envelope. 

This will ensure that the pre-bowled scores will be 

recorded properly against the scheduled opposing 

teams score. 

The league will bowl every Friday morning 

at 9:45 at Bowl America, 1101 Clopper Road, Gaithersburg. 

The cost for the three games of bowling, the 

use of bowling shoes and balls, and unlimited cups 

of coffee is only $9. If you are interested, please call 

Rita at 301-814-9196. 

You do not need to be a good bowler to 

join. Come and join us for fellowship, fun and easy 

exercise. There is no long-term commitment. 

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. 

P e r m i s s i o n 

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. 









Going It Alone Club (GIAC): The Social Club for Singles 

by Pat Connelly 

It is that time of 

year when we have to do 

a bit of juggling of dates 

and even calendars. We 

are, hopefully, still in the 

spirit of Thanksgiving 

mode. If you signed up 

for the trip to Harrington 

Delaware Casino, do not 

forget that is on Thursday, 

Nov. 29. Be sure to check 

in with Ruth before boarding 

the bus, which leaves 

at 10:30 am. 

Then on Saturday, 

Dec. 15, we will have 

a holiday party at 5:30 

PM. This is a free event 

for members; there will 

be light refreshments and 

socializing in Clubhouse 

II. After the party, our 

regular games will follow: 

bridge, poker, and board 

games. Any one who 

wants to be matched up 

with a group for bridge 

can call June (301 598- 

7275). 

The trip to Ceresville 

Mansion in Frederick 

and the visit to the 

Civil War Museum is set 

for Dec. 19, a Wednesday. 

The trip not surprisingly 

was a sell out, however 

you may want to call Tess 

(301-598-8020) to get on 

a wait list. The bus leaves 

at 11:45 am and be sure to 

check in with Tess before 

boarding the bus. 

Now, reach for 

your next year’s calendar 

for 2013 and flip to February. 

The annual dinner in 

the Crystal Ballroom has 

been scheduled for Saturday, 

Feb. 16, 2013. Yes, 

it is in Valentine Week. 

And do not worry; there 

will be room for all who 

wish to enjoy this lovely 

evening. More on this 

later to include the sign 

up opportunity date, entertainment 

and cost, but 

meanwhile, save the date. 

The Going It 

Alone Club is a social 

club for singles living 

in Leisure World. Regular 

Saturday evening 

get-togethers 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 PM. 

Or if you would like further 

information, you can 

call Lem Beall, our treasurer, 

at 301-598-1924. 

Keep well and 

enjoy the holidays.

Notification to Security of Expected 

Visitors 

A Reminder from the Security Department 

The Security 

D e p a r t m e n t w o u l d 

appreciate your assistance 

in easing the entry of your 

guests into the community. 

Residents are reminded to 

contact the Main Gate 

when expecting guests. 

All guests must have 

authorization from a 

resident or a valid guest 

pass to gain entry. 

I f y o u a r e 

expecting more than 

five guests at any one 

time, please fill out the 

form titled “Notification 

o f G u e s t s / Vi s i t o r s 

Expected” available from 

the Security Office in the 

Administration Building. 

This notification will help 

to alleviate any possible 

delays at the gate. 

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 Administration 

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, 

please do not bring items 

that go in your regular 

recycling, such as newspapers 

and magazines.

Writer’s Workshop of Leisure World 

By Mary Zenchoff 


Our meeting on 

November 15 provided 

several interesting poems 

and prose offerings for 

our delight. The first story 

was from Joe Fickey 

who always surprises us 

with an inventive look 

at what should be an 

ordinary day in the life 

of an army private. There 

are no ordinary days in 

Joe’s army! 

Norman Ochs 

brought us back to moments 

in the 1930’s when 

plays could be seen for 

75 cents at the Windsor 

Theatre-Playhouse in the 

Bronx. If you were short 

on cash, you could see 

the show for 50 cents if 

you stood behind the last 

row of orchestra seats. 

Candy from a machine 

was only 5 cents. Those 

were the days! 

Tom Anessi delighted 

us with the grand 

finale of his story of 

Robbie who was mourning 

the death of his dog, 

but in the end gained a 

closer relationship with 

his father, the promise 

of a new puppy and a 

friendship with a girl his 

age who has just moved 

to the area. A real heartwarming 

tale! 

Verna Denny 

made us puzzle at the 

adventures of her husband 

and two friends 

who thought they would 

be staying at an ancient 

motel, called Shep’s 

Miner’s Inn but were told 

that there was “no room 

at the inn.” Shades of oldtime 

road trips when you 

were welcome nowhere. 

Finally Verna found a 

Best Western and they 

breathed a sigh of relief. 

Mary Zenchoff 

amused us with the next 

installment of Waltruda, 

who entered a tap-dance 

contest, and won the 

grand prize, which she 

and her husband ate for 

the next two months, 

inch by inch. (The prize 

was a golden cup made 

of cheese.) Mary asked 

for additional ideas for 

the ending of her story, 

and we will see them 

incorporated in her next 

story. Oh, the joys of partnership 

in this workshop! 

York Van Nixon 

III made us chuckle with 

his hilarious spoof on 

the “Sound of Musick,” 

which had secret messages 

throughout his 

poem (or maybe not so 

secret!). A poem that was 

fun to read and even more 

fun to share. 

Ron Davis gave 

us three poems, one on 

his dog Teddy, of whom 

he thinks whenever he 

sees children playing 

with a dog, the second on 

the difficulties of teaching 

history using mythical 

characters, and the 

third describing an old 

train with its clicks and 

groans as having arthritis. 

Real life is portrayed 

in each of Ron’s poems! 

Lee Hardy described 

wartime New 

York as seen through the 

eyes of a teenager who 

is yearning for independence. 

Her second offering 

was a Thanksgiving 

poem that suggested that 

the day be more than an 

“eating” day. 

Danuta Montorfano 

wrote a poignant 

piece on Hurricane Sandy 

with its landscape 

looking like a war zone 

that breaks your heart. 

True words, surely. 

Carlos Montorfano 

described, in vivid 

detail, the communication 

problems that are 

present throughout life, 

regardless of good intentions. 

The quote that 

Carlos used from Ring 

Lardner said it all, “Shut 

up, he explained.” 

Warren Eister 

says his book, “Society: 

The Invisible Giant,” 

needs a midwife to reach 

delivery. He would be 

glad if members of our 

workshop who had borrowed 

his book would 

give him any feedback 

on their thoughts. His 

request is not a complaint, 

just asking us to 

return his book, along 

with any comments on 

it. He describes us as the 

midwives for his book! 

Our next meeting 

is on Thursday, Dec. 

6 at 11 am. Please choose 

your own topic and bring 

12 copies to our meeting. 

Wednesday Bus Schedule 

From the Security Department 

In an effort to 

better serve the needs of 

residents, the Security 

and Transportation Committee 

will be adjusting 

the Wednesday bus route. 

These changes will take 

effect Jan. 1, 2013. The 

new schedule will be 

published in upcoming 

issues of Leisure World 

News. On Wednesdays, a 

fourth bus is run outside 

of the community. The 

route currently makes 

several stops in Olney 

during the morning and 

several stops in Aspen 

Hill during the afternoon. 

The revised schedule will 

implement what is being 

referred to as a “figure 

eight” run. Meaning that 

the bus will depart from 

Leisure World, continue 

to Olney where several 

stops will be made, return 

to Leisure World, continue 

to Aspen Hill where 

several stops will be 

made and then return to 

Leisure World. This will 

be repeated throughout 

the day. This new route 

will provide residents 

the ability to spend a full 

day in either location, 

Aspen Hill or Olney, if 

they so choose. To avoid 

confusion, residents are 

encouraged to look for 

reminders placed on the 

Leisure World television 

channel, as well as the 

Leisure World News. 

Please keep in mind the 

following when riding 

the shuttle buses: Stay 

seated while the bus is 

in motion. The consumption 

of food or beverages 

is not permitted on the 

bus. Feet should stay 

on the floor. Only carry 

an amount of bags that 

allows you to safely 

navigate entry/exit of the 

bus. Individuals who use 

a walker must be able to 

safely navigate entry/exit 

of the bus on their own 

in order to use the bus 

service. 

S h o u l d a n y 

questions arise, please 

feel free to contact the 

Security Office (301- 

598-1355). 









Our next meeting 

is our annual holiday

Keeping Up 

with Technology (iPhone and iPad), a CLL class: 

This two-session seminar is an introduction to the 

iPhone and iPad and its available Apps (applications). 

You will learn through examples what you are missing 

by not having one of these devices, or perhaps why you 

do not need one. This is not a “how to” class, but is an 

informal lecture on “what you can do” to introduce you 

to some technology that may be passing you by. Ron 

Masi will familiarize you with the iPhone and iPad; 

there are many other brands on the market. You have 

seen the ads on TV. Now he will show you on a large 

screen how you can perhaps visit your old neighborhood 

and see the house your were brought up in, find 

your parked car, immediately find the definition of a 

new word in a book you are reading, buy a book and 

start reading it in seconds without leaving your chair; 

chat with and see your grandchildren, share pictures 

and movies with sound. There are many new fun and 

entertaining technologies you may not be aware of. 

Find out what they are. Ron Masi is a member of 

The Washington Apple Pi, The Leisure World Mac 

Club and the Computer Learning Center. He is the 

Web master of three Web sites, two here at Leisure

Parkinson’s Support Group – Dr. Katrina Gwinn to Speak 

By Manny Horowitz 

D r. K a t r i n a 

Gwinn, a research scientist 

at the National 

Institute of Neurological 

Disorders and Stroke, 

will be the guest speaker 

at the Tuesday, Dec. 11 

meeting of the Leisure 

World Parkinson’s Support 

Group. The meeting 

will be held in Clubhouse 

II at 3 PM. 

Dr. Gwinn is the 

director of the Extramural 

Research Program, 

Neurogenetics Cluster. 

Her program is producing 

genetic data on individuals 

with Parkinson’s 

disease and stroke and 

on individuals with no 

neurological disorders. 

This control group will 

serve an important comparison 

to allow gene 

discovery in neurological 

disorders. The first set of 

genotyping data is now 

publicly available, along 

with clinical data from 

the NINDS-funded Neurogenetics 

Repository 

at the Cornell Institute 

for Medical Research 

(CIMR). 

Dr. Gwinn is also 

involved in evaluating 

patients with Parkinson’s 

disease, dementia and 

related disorders, and 

also evaluates those individuals’ 

family members 

as part of the study. She 

has a particular interest 

in identifying presymptomatic 

features of 

Parkinson’s disease in the 

hope that being able to 

predict who will get the 

disease will allow early 

treatment and prevention 

of Parkinson’s disease at 

some time in the future. 

Dr. Gwinn has 

previously lectured to our 

group and has provided 

us with interesting and 

useful information on 

Parkinson’s disease and 

some aspects of on-going 

research programs. We 

look forward to seeing 

you at the meeting. 

10 Steps to Take before Hiring 

Domestic Help From the Security Department 

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. Con- 

tact 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.

Preparing For Emergency Power Outages 

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. 

W h e n 

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 

Emergency Plan developed 

in the event a major 

power outage occurs in 

Leisure World. The following 

guidelines will 

quickly assist residents 

in determining the best 

course of action to alleviate 

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 

non-essential appliances 

(specifically kitchen appliances) 

and lights are 

turned off. 

T h e L e i s u r e 

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.

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,
