Veteran Who Navigated Germany’s Airspace to Speak at July 4 Celebrationby Stacy Smith, Leisure World News

Ted Borek, a 94-year-old veteran of World War II whose B-17 airplane

had to make an emergency landing when two of its four engines were destroyed by enemy fire, delivers the keynote address during the community’s July 4 festivities.

Borek enlisted in the military at age 19 and, after combat training and working as a cryptographer encoding and decoding allied messages, became a navigator with the Eighth Air Force of the U.S Army Air Corps.

Just a few days after reporting to his assign-ment with the 305th Bomb Group, 365th Squadron in Chelveston, England, he suddenly found himself fighting in what would turn out to be one of the major air battles of the war.

“I was having breakfast with the crew and the opera-tions officer came to me and said, ‘Ted, you’ll be flying today. A navigator from another crew called in sick; you’ll be taking his place.’”

The Eighth Air Force led a maximum effort over Germany on May 12, 1944, that included 800 B-17 bomber planes and 200 fighter planes.

Borek’s plane got its first

jolt when some flak, or anti-aircraft fire, tore through the fuselage, causing no real damage. It was child’s play compared to what was soon to come. Just around 2 p.m., dozens of German Luftwaffe

Golf Pro Shop Gets a Fresh, New Lookby Stacy Smith, Leisure World News

Scattered throughout a mid-size room, mannequins display

the latest in golf and athletic wear. Rows of titanium clubs shine in the sunlight of a corner window, and buckets of bright yellow golf balls greet customers at the checkout counter.

The Golf Pro Shop recently stocked its floor with new inventory, and the man at the helm of sales and marketing, golf pro Richard Rosenthal, says his hope is that residents who have never set foot in the store will come in and check it out.

“Maybe we’ll even get some new members,” he said.

The store now carries top of the line athletic brands, like Under Armour and Cutter & Buck, and has added more women’s clothing to their racks, with prices as good as, or better than, retail.

Rosenthal, who owned a pro shop in Montgomery Village for five years before joining the Leisure World staff in March, is sticking with conservative styles in basic colors until he’s able to see which items sell well, and then will adjust his buying habits to match consumer trends.

“People’s tastes have changed; styles have changed,” he said, adding that where once golfers looked

July 13: What Makes a Book Jewish?by Arthur N. Popper

If you visit (www.amazon.com) and enter “Jewish novels” into its search

engine, you find many dozens of pages of titles. And the same happens if you look up Jewish romance novels, Jewish war novels, and most anything else.

And while many of these same books would be found in non-secular searches, what is it about these thousands of books that makes them appear in the results of a search that includes the word Jewish?

In many cases, it is the actual title or a distinctly Jewish subject, or the author may be Jewish but, in other cases, the relationship is less obvious.

The question of what makes a

book inherently Jewish is a topic that has long fascinated Marilyn Cooper, the culture editor of Moment Magazine (www.momentmag.com), where she is also manager of the book section and a frequent contributor.

Cooper shares her interest in this ques-tion with residents in a lecture and discus-sion sponsored by the Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL) on Thursday, July 13, at 2 p.m. in Clubhouse I.

The lecture is free, but tickets are required and available at the E&R office in Clubhouse I begin-ning at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 20. Refreshments are

served, and Cooper will remain after the lecture to answer questions.

During the program, Cooper uses a series of ques-tions to stimulate and lead a discussion about Jewish books and the focus of her 2016 article for Moment Magazine on famous Jewish writers and the books that shaped them.

She shares stories about her interviews

with authors – such as Carl Bernstein, Cynthia Ozick and Joyce Carol Oates – featured in the article found at (goo.gl/HVqfBS).

Discussion questions include:• What makes a book Jewish?• Must a Jewish book be

written by a Jewish author?• What books most influenced

your Jewish identity?

Marilyn Cooper is a Washing-ton-based writer and poet. She formerly worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-tration (NASA) as a public histo-rian and has been a consultant for a variety of non-profits in the Washington, D.C. area. She was a Fulbright scholar in Venice, Italy, an inter-university scholar at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a fellow at the Balkan Studies Institute in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Credit Union to Hold Information Sessionsby Leisure World News

A series of “meet and greet” events in July are planned by the credit

union preparing to move into the Administration Building.

Signal Financial Federal Credit Union (FCU), which expects to open a branch in Leisure World by August, hosts three events aimed to introduce residents to Signal’s staff and services, and three more to provide residents

the opportunity to consult with staff on becoming members of the credit union and setting up accounts.

Residents are invited to enjoy refreshments and meet branch officers and staff on Tuesday, July 11, 18 and 25, between 2-4 p.m. in Clubhouse I.

Staff will return to help resi-dents with membership and account paperwork on Thursday,

July 13, 20 and 27, between 2-4 p.m. in Clubhouse I.

All residents are eligible to join Signal Financial FCU through their affiliation with Leisure World. A member’s close relative, whether living in the same house-hold or not, is also eligible for Signal membership.

Once a resident joins, he or she is a member for life. A resident may move out of the community

and still retain his or her Signal Financial FCU membership.

Signal Financial FCU provides the same variety of financial services that customers would find at a bank, including checking, savings and money market accounts; certificates of deposit; personal and auto loans; credit cards; mortgages; investment products and advice; and online and mobile banking.

Annual Parade Marches Through Leisure World July 4

by Leisure World News

Leisure World is set to celebrate Independence Day with its annual

parade and picnic. The parade begins at 9:30 a.m. and departs from the Administration Building parking lot.

In addition to several Leisure World mutuals and groups taking part in the parade, the Montgomery County Police and Fire Depart-ments, Wheaton Rescue, the U.S. Army Military District of Washington Army Color Guard, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Color Guard, the Browningsville Cornet Band and others are participating.

The procession will travel down Leisure World Boulevard to Gleneagles Drive, make a U-turn and proceed toward Clubhouse I. After wending its way around Veterans Park and passing the review stand, the parade line will return to the Administration parking lot.

The speaking program begins at the review stand soon after the parade concludes.

Residents are welcome to bring folding chairs to sit along the route. In the event of rain, the parade will be canceled and the program will move inside to the Clubhouse II auditorium.

An afternoon picnic on the Clubhouse I lanai (details on page 14) follows the morning parade and program. Tables must be reserved in advance at $1 per person, payable in the Clubhouse I E&R office.

for cotton clothing, many now prefer tech fabric. Tech fabrics, also known as high perfor-mance fabrics, are designed to help athletes and active people remain cool, comfortable and dry during activity, and to protect wearers from the elements.

The Pro Shop is selling older inventory at discounted prices to make room for the new. Demo driver golf clubs are also available for customers to test out before purchasing, and the Shop recently hosted a “demo day” featuring Calloway golf products.

“The vendor comes out and brings all their different golf clubs for the members to try. So there’s no obligation to buy; its just an opportunity to see all the products in one day and try [them],” Rosenthal said.

In the future, the Pro Shop may host a trunk show, which

allows consumers to see prod-ucts for the next golf season before they’re available for purchase.

All residents and their guests are welcome to shop at the Golf Pro Shop; Golf Course membership is not required.

Golf Trial Memberships Spike This Seasonby Stacy Smith, Leisure World News

Trial membership at the Golf Course has quadrupled compared

to the same time last year, said Golf Pro Richard Rosenthal. The Golf Course had 28 trial members as of June 14, compared to seven at the same time in 2016.

“We’ve just had this onslaught of new trial memberships in the last month. Hopefully, we’ll get at least half of those people to join for the rest of the year,” Rosenthal said.

The 90-day, one-time trial golf membership is $200 and open to residents and anyone sponsored by a resident.

After 90 days, the trial member decides if he or she would like to become a full member by paying dues for the rest of the year, or return to paying the pay-to-play $25 guest fee.

Purchasing a trial member-ship can pay off for anyone who plays golf at Leisure World fairly frequently,

according to Rosenthal. “The course is in great

shape, so there’s no reason not to,” he said.

Residents Connect on Social Websiteby Leisure World News

A private social-networking website has become a draw for residents in the past few years.

According to Nextdoor, a company founded in 2010, more than 500 accounts on its site come from within Leisure World. The (www.nextdoor.com) website provides networking platforms for individual neighborhoods across the country, including one specific to Leisure World.

Carl Shoolman, one of the first resi-dents who formed the Leisure World neighborhood platform and an enthu-siastic promoter, said it encourages participants to discuss a variety of topics such as carpooling for events and other outings, sharing interesting articles, or finding lost cats.

The platform also has a “more activist” angle, he said, such as polling participants on questions related to recent refunds by Comcast, which provides Leisure World’s cable televi-sion service.

Nextdoor requires participants to register with a verifiable home address for the neighborhood platform they wish to participate in.

Chapel Service Breaks Language Barrierby Stacy Smith, Leisure World News

“Welcome, Saludo, Aloha.” With one simple word spoken in three distinct

languages – English, Spanish and Hawaiian – Rev. Dr. Ramonia Lee, minister of congregational life, greeted congregants of The Inter-Faith Chapel June 4 and reminded them how language serves to unite us all despite our differences.

“Hola, Bonjour, Shalom,” the congre-gation replied, in Spanish, French and Hebrew.

Eleven languages in all were spoken between the two services that day, reflecting the linguistic and cultural diversity of the residents of Leisure World.

They resonated not only in the greeting, but also during the services’ Passing the Peace (“Salaam alaykum”) and Benediction (“Gracias a Dios”). They rang out and intertwined during a reading of Scripture, as members of the

congregation seated in the pews recog-nized their own native languages and heard the words of unfamiliar ones.

The ecumenical services, held during regular Sunday service hours, celebrated Pentecost, a Christian holiday that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Jesus Christ, allowing them instantly to communicate in different languages.

The theme of unity across barriers of language and nationality was vividly demonstrated in each service when a short Scripture passage was read four times, each time by a resident speaking a different language. Chie Colvis read in Japanese. Gizella Keleman, in Hungarian. Mercedes Bautista’s hands gestured and punctuated the passage as she recited it in Tagalog, a language spoken in the Philippines.

Then, the four readers at each service repeated the passage, this time simul-taneously. Korean, English, Zambian Bemba, Liberian Kpelle and the others mingled, mimicking confusion and

wonderment experienced by the disciples as they each began to “speak in tongues,” according to the Pentecost story.

As the reading drew to a close, the non-English languages fell silent at the same moment, and the English speaker completed the final verse of the passage, saying, “How is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?”

After the service, congregants approached Rev. Dr. Woody Rea, senior minister, to express their gratitude and enjoyment of the service.

The services “generated a lot of enthu-siasm” and were meant to “emphasize the unity and harmony of Spirit,” Rea said.

It wasn’t the first time the Chapel brought together residents from different backgrounds. Last July, in the aftermath of shootings by and against police in several U.S. cities, the Pulse nightclub shootings in Orlando, Fl., and a deadly terrorist attack in France, local leaders from some of the world’s major religions united for a “Prayer Service for Peace.”

The Lowdown on Leisure World’s Governance by Paul Bessel

Do you wonder how Leisure World is governed? Do you think you might

like to get involved but you’re not sure how? Understanding Leisure World governance might be a first step toward partaking in the process.

LWCC, LWMCUnlike many other age-re-

stricted communities, Leisure World is self-governing. No one owns Leisure World except the homeowners themselves.

Leisure World is a community of more than 8,000 people in 5,660 units – houses or apartments. The community is governed by the Leisure World Community Corporation (LWCC), and LWCC is governed by a board of directors consisting of 34 people representing each of the 29 mutuals, the individual housing developments that make up Leisure World.

All mutuals have at least one representative on the board of directors, and the three largest mutuals have two or four.

In 1977, Leisure World created a wholly owned subsidiary called Leisure World of Maryland Corporation (LWMC), which provides services to mutuals when requested by the mutual boards, and manages the commu-nity’s finances and budgeting, security, maintenance and other services.

About 240 full- and part-time employees work for LWMC, which in turn is owned by LWCC. The LWCC board hires the general manager, gives him or her general guidelines, decides his or her salary, and measures his or her progress. The general manager does the same for all other staff.

Mutual GovernanceEach of Leisure World’s 29

mutuals is governed by its own board of directors, the members of which are elected by the people who own the units in that mutual. These boards are made up of resi-dents who volunteer their time and expertise to help all residents in their mutual.

Each mutual has its own rules on how its board is elected. Usually, any resident can

submit a statement of candidacy explaining why people should vote for him or her, and the unit owners vote for whom they wish.

The mutuals have hired LWMC to handle their accounting, take meeting minutes and do other tasks, and each mutual pays LWMC for this work. Residents’ monthly fees also cover this expense.

Monthly Fees Leisure World homeowners

pay monthly mutual and Trust fees to cover the costs of main-taining their mutual and the Trust properties in the broader community.

LWCC adopts a budget each year that is recommended by LWMC. The LWCC budget determines residents’ monthly Trust fees. Each mutual’s board representative(s) helps determine that fee.

Each mutual also has its own annual budget for its mainte-nance and other expenses such as insurance, electricity and water. (These expenses vary by mutual; in some, electricity is paid by each owner while in others it is paid by the mutual.) The mutual’s budget is sent to all unit owners before its adoption, and mutual residents are encouraged to comment in writing or at mutual board meetings.

Attending Meetings Residents are welcome to

attend all of their mutual’s board and annual meetings as well as LWCC board and committee meetings, to express an opinion or learn more about an issue.

It is the obligation of your elected board members to listen but not necessarily agree with their constituents. Board members have a fiduciary duty

that legally obligates them to do what they think is best for all Leisure World residents. If you think your representatives are not serving the community’s needs, you may elect different ones, or run for a seat on the board. Residents can contact their representatives by email, letter, phone, and in-person meetings to discuss their concerns and questions.

Some mutuals have their pres-idents as their representatives on the LWCC board of directors, while others have the mutual board elect their representatives, usually from among current or past mutual board members.

Elected board members repre-sent you and should be happy to hear from you.

“In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, We remember them.”

■Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee

Experts Forecast Active Hurricane Seasonby David Darr

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

says the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30, will likely be above-normal this year.

Any predictions of weather have uncertainty attached to them and depend on climate and other variables. NOAA predicts a 70 percent likelihood of 11-17 named storms this season, with winds of 39 miles per hour or higher and including two to four major hurricanes (Category three, four or five with winds of 111 mph or higher).

Hurricane Preparation TipsHurricanes typically strike

the U.S. through the lower East Coast and move north along the Atlantic Coast.

A hurricane’s effect on resi-dents depends on the storm’s path; if the storm veers out across the Atlantic, there could be little or no effect. But if it turns inland, there could be widespread wind and rain with power outages and other major damage.

Leisure World has a history of both scenarios occurring in the surrounding area. Common sense ideas for preparing for hurricanes can be found at

(ready.gov). The following are some tips to help prepare for the worst.

• Several days’ notice of a hurricane is likely. Stay tuned to radio, television or other sources of information on the approaching storm.

• Use the warning time to check your emergency prepared-ness kit for suggested items (batteries, flashlights, radio, charged cell phone, etc.) and replenish if needed.

• Review your communications plan. Suggestions for a plan can be found at (http://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan).

• Make sure you have plenty of water for sanitary purposes such as cleaning and flushing toilets. Fill the bathtub and other large containers (buckets, pots, pitchers) with water.

• Secure lawn furniture and other outdoor items.

• As the hurricane approaches, stay inside your home with any pets that you may have. Stay away from windows.

• If you are notified by local authorities to evacuate your home, listen carefully and follow their instructions.

• NOAA tracks individual tropical storms and hurricanes as they develop, and predicts their likely paths. Visit (nhc.noaa.gov) for more information.

Everyone in Borek’s formation – more than 800 planes – fired back. Bullets ripped through the plane’s oxygen supply, forcing the pilot to drop down to 18,000 feet above sea level, where the crew had to survive with half its original oxygen supply.

“The pilots had emergency canisters in the cockpit. So they had oxygen for them-selves, but the rest of the crew was without,” Borek said.

To keep from passing out, Borek and the other’s exerted minimal effort for the remainder of the mission.

After the smoke cleared and the plane landed back at base, the crew received word that the battle had been a tremen-dous victory for the U.S. They were greeted with another briefing and a jigger of scotch.

Borek would not have much time to recover; the next day, May 13, he was sent out on his

second mission – maximum effort over Poznań, a city in German-occupied Poland. But the town had too much cloud coverage, so the crew moved on to their second target, the German city of Stettin on the Baltic Sea.

The Germans were ready for them. The U.S. Squadron dropped bombs amid heavy flak activity.

As Borek’s crew headed back toward England, it became apparent just how hard their plane was hit.

One of the plane’s four engines had to be feathered, or stopped with its propeller in a fixed position. Losing altitude, the pilot gave the order to lighten the load by dropping ammunition.

Nothing in Borek’s training had prepared him to just waste ammo; he had been prepared for “total war,” meaning that anything on German ground – houses, buildings, barns, vehicles – was fair target.

As the plane dropped out of formation and to an even lower altitude, Borek received

the order to “dump anything that’s loose” – spent shells, canisters, boxes, any equipment that could be moved. A second engine gave out, but this one could not be feathered, and it began spinning out of control.

Then, the clincher: All fuel tanks read low. The pilot would have to make a water landing on the North Sea. If successful, life expectancy in those frigid conditions was 20-30 minutes.

With little time to spare, the pilot made a decision; he asked Borek for directions.

“Give me a heading for Sweden,” he told Borek. Borek notified their commander that they were changing destinations.

“T for Tommy to Foxhall Charlie, we’re losing altitude, out of fuel, two engines out, cannot continue, heading for

Sweden,” Borek’s message read.

“Foxhall Charlie to T for Tommy, roger and good luck,” was the reply.

Consider Alternatives and Save Our Trees

We have just moved to Leisure World – a move heavily

influenced by the natural beauty of its grounds, the mature trees, the abundance of wildlife and the several streams and ponds that

provide water and habitat for many animal and bird species. We also heard that there was a pending Audubon Society certification and, if true, that is a good omen, too.

Unfortunately, we learned too late about the plans for the new administration building project that would destroy more than 55 mature trees that could represent some 3,000 years of growth, or more.

Every mature tree is a multi-use “condominium” providing shelter, nest-building materials, food in the form of

seeds, insects, lichens, and rain-water dripping from leaves. For humans, mature trees provide shade, natural beauty, tempera-ture modulation, soil retention and nutrients, plus oxygen for everyone. It is a cooperative win-win for all.

So, we are very distressed about a decision that these hundred-year woody “residents” would be destroyed, killing or driving out the many living inhab-itants that depend on them. We have met only a handful of other residents here so far, but have found no one who is happy about

a site for a new building that so scars the land – and right near the entrance currently made grand by the towering green.

I hope that management and the board of directors will still reconsider in light of the damage to the environment – an envi-ronment that both animal and human species depend on – and make changes that can accommo-date all. (For example, if we must have a new building, utilizing the area in front of Clubhouse I would avoid destroying natural features.)

EVENTS & Entertainment ■Ballroom Dance Club

June 24: Dance to Mixed Company by Joyce Hendrix

The June dance is Saturday, June 24, from 7:30-10:30 p.m. in the

Clubhouse I Crystal Ballroom. Steve Monaldi’s group, “Mixed Company,” provides the music.

Monaldi is a third generation musician who had his first music group, The Monaldi Cousins, as a teenager. Monaldi’s brother, Frank Monaldi Jr., still plays keyboard in the ensemble. Various other family members and friends complete the group.

Summer dress code applies, with summer dresses or pantsuits for the ladies and collared shirts and slacks for the gentlemen. Make your reservations for the dance after Sunday, June 18, with Irmgard Patrick at (301-598-2984). We ask that everyone attending please make a reservation to ensure that you are seated with your friends.

As our attendance and membership, now at 113 resi-dents, continues to grow, we may have to turn away people without reservations. Our seating capacity is limited to 12 tables of 10 people each. Atten-dance has been close to capacity at our last two dances.

The best attendance of the 2017 dances to date is the May

dance, which featured The Retro Rockets. If you missed it, they played some good ball-room dance music and a lot of Latin tunes, with a few polkas thrown in for good measure. They were given a fine welcome on their return this year.

The July dance is Saturday, July 22, and features The Esquires, another favorite of the Ballroom Dance Club.

Dance EtiquetteContinuing our list of “Rules

of Ballroom Dance Etiquette,” Rule #6:

Regardless of who asked for the dance, it’s customary that the man return the woman to her seat. At a ballroom dance function, it’s rare that you’ll ever see the man turn and walk away from his partner when the music stops. Chivalry

is alive and well in ballroom dancing.”

And, from the 1866 “Rules of Etiquette and Home Culture:”

“There are some people who attend the fashionable balls of today, who express contempt for the requirements of behavior known under the title of etiquette. The conduct of parties attending a ball should be governed by such rules as shall ensure the entire company an evening of pleasure.”

July 8: Rock ’n’ Roll the Night Away

On Saturday, July 8, in the Clubhouse I Crystal Ballroom, The Rock

& Roll Relics will have you dancing, clapping and singing to all of your rock ’n’ roll favorites.

The band comprises founders Chip (bass guitar) and Gail (lead guitar) Chiap-pone, with Bobby C (keyboard) and Bill Miskell (drums). In 2015, The Rock & Roll Relics were inducted into the Mary-land Entertainment Hall of Fame.

Do you remember “Back in the U.S.A.” (Chuck Berry) or “Get Ready” (The Tempta-tions) or “Surfin’ U.S.A” (The Beach Boys)?

What about “Can’t Buy Me Love” (The Beatles) or “Bad Moon Rising” (Creedence Clearwater Revival)?

These are only a few of the

rock classics that will fill the night.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., the music plays from 7:30-10 p.m. To keep you dancing all night, refreshments are provided and a cash bar is available.

The Rock & Roll Relics is one of the longest performing “oldies” musical acts in the Mid-Atlantic region, having come together in 2008. These talented musicians focus on recreating the sounds of the songs you grew up with, from the sweet sound of street corner doo-wop, to the exciting ‘60s sound of The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Creedence Clearwater Revival. You will remember them all.

Tickets are $15 per person and on sale in both clubhouse E&R offices. Please bring your Leisure World ID.

HEALTH & Fitness ❒Health Advisory Committee

July 12: Urogynecology Nurse Practitioner to Speak by Sandra McLeskey

Tania Marek, a nurse practitioner at MedStar Health medical center

that specializes in pelvic floor disorders in women, speaks on the topic and possible treatments on Wednesday, July 12, at 2 p.m. in Clubhouse I.

Marek received her master’s degree in nursing at the University of California at San Francisco. She has been working in women’s health for 14 years and specializing in urogynecology for six years. She sees patients at the MedStar Health medical center in Leisure World on Wednesdays.

Pelvic floor problems are sometimes the result of preg-nancy or may arise or get worse as women get older. One such problem is overactive bladder, which is a sudden need to

urinate quickly, sometimes resulting in incontinence. Another problem, stress incon-tinence, is the leakage of urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing.

Some women have frequent urination, espe-cially at night, which disrupts their sleep. Frequent urinary tract infections may result from incomplete bladder emptying.

These problems are extremely common in older women, but

many women are hesitant to discuss them with their doctor. Unfortunately, they may have such a deleterious effect on a woman’s ability to enjoy life that successful treatment makes a huge difference.

Free tickets may be obtained at the E&R office in Clubhouse I beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 20.

❒Health Advisory Committee

June 30: ‘Enhance Health and Well-Being’by George Stricker

The mental health subcommittee of the Health Advisory

Committee presents a lecture, “An Approach to Enhance Health and Well-Being,” on Friday, June 30, at 2 p.m. in Clubhouse I.

The lecture is presented by Dr. Sarah Kagan, the Lucy Walker Honorary Term Professor of Gerontological Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania and a gerontological clinical nurse specialist in the Living Well Program at the Joan Karnell Cancer Center at Pennsyl-vania Hospital.

In her role at the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania and several international univer-sities, Kagan analyzes issues in population aging, health and well being in later life, and improving clinical prac-

tice in health and social care for older people.

She is a visiting scholar in nursing and public health programs at University College Dublin, Queen Margaret University in Edin-burgh, American University of Armenia, Oxford Brookes

University in Great Britain, and the University of Hong Kong.

Kagan is editor in chief of the International Journal of Older People Nursing and serves on the editorial boards of four journals – Cancer Nursing,

Geriatric Nursing, Research in Gerontological Nursing, and PTJ: Physical Therapy. She also writes a monthly column, “Myths of Aging,” for newspaper and online content.

Admission is free, but tickets are required for this event; they may be picked up at the E&R office in Clubhouse I.

CLUBS, GROUPS & Organizations

■Vegetarian Society of Leisure World (VSLW)

June 20: ‘Cancer: Cause It or Kill It’by Bob Fenichel

The next VSLW meeting on Tuesday, June 20, at 7 p.m. in Clubhouse

II features a program on “Cancer: Cause It or Kill It (depends on what you eat)” by Brian Bergman, a Food for Life instructor. After the presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions.

Beginning Wednesday, July 5, the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS) holds its annual five-day Vegetarian Summerfest in Johnstown, Pa., which is a

three-hour drive from Leisure World. More information on this event is found at (www.vegetariansummerfest.org).

General InformationAdditional information

on VSLW activities is found on our website (www.vslw.org). Everybody is welcome at VSLW activities, and you don’t have to be a vegetarian to participate. The mission statement of VSLW is “to support group members in maintaining a healthy life-style by eating a plant-based diet.”

■Ceramics Club

The Ins and Outs (and Unders) of Paintby Gail Bragg

When people stop by the ceramics studio, they frequently ask about

the kind of paint we use, and many are surprised at the answer.

Our paints, called underglazes, are clay-based. This means that instead of being a mixture of pigments or dyes with linseed oil, gum arabic or acrylic polymers as in oil paints, watercolors or acrylics, our underglazes have the colorant added to liquified clay.

Also included in the mixture is something called frit, which is added to reduce shrinkage of the underglaze during the firing process. Bisque, the white ceramic pieces you see in the paint-your-own pottery stores, does not shrink when fired, so you don’t want the underglaze to

shrink and then chip off. These underglazes are used

for the same reason any other “paint” is – for decorative color; however, the final coat of any ceramic piece with an underglaze is a clear glaze. In addition to making the colors more vibrant, this glaze seals the piece, provides durability, and makes it safe to use with food.

Annual LuncheonThe Ceramics Club’s annual

luncheon is Wednesday, June 21; members who plan to attend should add their names to the signup sheet in the studio. Having an accurate count helps us when making reservations for the luncheon.

MembershipThe Ceramics Club’s $10

annual membership fee includes

instruction on how to make your own ceramic pieces.

The Club welcomes new members, so drop by the studio in Clubhouse II.

Visitors can view some of our ceramic pieces in the studio gift shop; they are for sale with proceeds going to charity. We hope to see you soon!

■Rossmoor Library Guild

New at the Library: Mystery Mayhem

by Barbara Long

The shocking twists and turns found in two new books available at the

library in Clubhouse I should satisfy readers of both mystery and detective novels.

“The Trespasser” a 2016 novel by Irish author Tana French,

follows detective Antoinette Conway as she investigates the suspicious death of a young woman in Dublin. But as the mystery unfolds, she begins to trust no one, not even her loyal partner on the case.

“Syndrome E” is a translation from the French, written by Franck Thilliez, published in

2010 and translated into English in 2012 by Mark Polizzotti.

In present-day Belgium, vintage film buff Ludovic snaps up a 16 mm movie from an estate sale, then goes blind after viewing it. Shortly there-after, the seller of the film is

murdered, and the investigation leads two detectives to uncover a shocking chapter in 1950s neuroscience.

Clever detective work and skilled policing keep the reader unwilling to put down either work.

Two new murder mysteries available at the library.

■Rossmoor Camera Club

Club Member Receives Distinguished Awardby Fred Shapiro

The Photographic Society of America (PSA) awarded a certificate to Rossmoor Camera Club member Larry Mars for achieving a level of proficiency in international competitions by having at least 288 of his images selected for exhibition.

For the PSA’s recognition of his photographic achievement, he is now entitled to use the letters PPSA after his name, a high honor for a photographer.

Mars became interested in photography at about the time he retired at the end of 1995 from the U.S. Department of Education, where he had been a statistician. He went on many photographic workshop excur-sions, often to the American southwest, learning as much as possible about his adopted hobby.

Mars’s favorite photographic subject is landscapes of all kinds, including seascapes and cityscapes. He and his wife,

Joanne, continue travelling far and wide to view and photo-graph beautiful scenery.

Mars has been a member of the Rossmoor Camera Club since the 1998-99 season,

winning advanced slide/digital photographer of the year on seven occasions. He is also a member of the North Bethesda Camera Club.

The Rossmoor Camera Club

is a member of the Photo-graphic Society of America and its Mid-Atlantic chapter affil-iate. Mars has been a member of the Photographic Society of America since 1998.

■Rossmoor Art Guild

Correcting Our Way to Finished Paintings

by Ann Bolt

The Rossmoor Art Guild (RAG) threw open the studio doors and

welcomed members and visitors to their annual open house, ‘Spring Fling,” on June 3.

RAG teacher Sharon Lee Minor invited guests to follow her process and approach to a painting called “Watching.” The acrylic work pays homage to African-American ballerinas.

In her approach, she spent some time preparing multiple sketches and doing an under-painting. The latter provides a good opportunity to make corrections and changes. Next, she studied color selections to capture the mood of the painting, and experimented with texture and paper.

At this stage of the painting, choose to either be satisfied, or entertain the “oops” idea. Another pause in the process

gives time to review, reconsider and reconstruct on canvas.

The final assessment of the painting determines if it is finished. A few questions might linger: Does it need something else; Am I finished; Should I let it set for a few days and then decide? Minor seemed to have made some very good choices for her finished painting.

The creative process does not always run smoothly, so students should take some solace in the idea that they can change their mind, experiment and correct. They can study mood, characters, contrast, lighting and spacing, and enjoy the discov-eries made.

A collective sigh of relief swept over the room when students realized they didn’t have to have all the answers all the time!

Food and Drink Exhibit The “Food and Drink” exhibit

continues during the month of June, and new exhibitors are presenting their works on the walls near the E&R office in Clubhouse I. Check out Lorenzo Meroli’s oil, acrylic and water-color paintings. The Clubhouse

Grille exhibits a mini display of his works at the other end of the hall. He studies with Sharon Lee Minor.

Other exhibitors this month include Marvin Sirkis, Marie Powell, Angela Chang, Loretta Morgan, Patty Elton, Ann Bolt, Beth Feniak, Phyllis Lowinger, Violet ‘Vicky’ Batkin, F. Chin, Marcie Burroughs, Dee Williams and Donna Ward.

The works’ subjects include scenes near and far, portraits, flowers and a clown, created using oils, acrylics, collage, colored pencils and watercolor.

En Plein AirEnjoy summer and try a little

“en plein air” painting of a local scene or wherever your summer travels take you. Painting outdoors can increase your painting speed, as the sun just doesn’t wait for you to mix your colors.

But the summer breeze and the commune with nature make it worth it. Sketch fast, take a few photos, and you’ll be surprised what you can capture. You can finish it later. Indoors. Without mosquitoes.

■ Fun and Fancy Theatre Group

A wonderful, productive year comes to an end this month. The Fun

and Fancy Theatre Group membership year runs from July 1 to June 30. The Group has no meetings or shows in July or August.

Dues for next year are $10. The dues fee provides members with free entry to our monthly meetings and enter-tainment (except big shows) for the entire year. Meetings are the first Wednesday night of the month at 7:30 p.m. in the Clubhouse II auditorium, starting in September.

Becoming a member also opens the door to displaying your talents at one or more Wednesday night shows, or

in our Outreach program. Members aren’t required to perform; the audience has loads of fun, too. The desserts provided after the perfor-mances are well worth the membership fee!

If you are already a member, you’ve received the membership form for next year. At our first meeting/show on Wednesday, Sept. 6, the Group distributes new, orange membership cards to those who have mailed in their check.

■Gem, Lapidary and Mineral Society of Leisure World

July 12 Program: ‘History and Mystery of Gold’by Mary Beth Mason

The next meeting of the Gem, Lapidary and Mineral Society (GLMS) of Leisure World is

Wednesday, July 12, at 7 p.m. in Clubhouse II. Howard Bayewitz presents a program entitled, “The History and Mystery of Gold.”

Bayewitz earned his bachelor’s degree in U.S. history and a master’s degree in Asian studies from the State University of New York at New Paltz. For 31 years, he taught middle school and high school social studies in Kingston, New York. His wife, Ellen, is a member of, and secretary for, the GLMS of Leisure World.

Bayewitz’s presentation explains how and why, since the beginning of civiliza-tion, gold has become the universal symbol of wealth, power, greed and love. The lure of gold has driven kings, conquistadors, priests and pirates to race across unex-plored oceans risking armies, ships and life itself.

Modern human beings of widely differing cultures, countries and classes – whether high, middling, or low – are infatuated with this precious metal. Gold grants its possessor an undeniable vestige of elevated status, wealth and safety. A person who possesses gold may feel heightened feelings of self-importance, sometimes beyond all indications to the contrary.

Bayewitz helps us understand the universal lure and passion for this mighty metal. His presentation explores the historical impact of gold on societies in the Old World as well as the New, and on civilizations as ancient as Sumer and Egypt, Greece and Rome, as well as China and Mali, Spain and Peru.

The 1849 Gold Rush in the U.S. was instrumental in settling the American West, and it spawned similar frenzies in Australia, in 1850; South Africa, in 1868; and Canada and Alaska, in 1896.

Gold is inextricably integrated into literature, religion, language and folklore around the globe. The Bible, in Genesis (chapter 2, verses 11 and 12), contains the first literary mention of gold:

“And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold; and the gold of that land [is] good…”

Gold appears as a significant compo-nent of chronicles of renowned heroes, such as Moses, Tutankhamen, Solomon, Marco Polo, Kublai Khan, and Columbus. We tell our children about Rapunzel, King Midas, and Goldilocks, and warn

them about killing the Golden Goose. We award Olympic athletes gold medals for victories, and Golden Globes to actors and actresses for performance excellence.

Join us on July 12 to learn some of the reasons for society’s persistent infatua-tion with the Earth’s most sought-after treasure.

Please inquire at Clubhouse II’s E&R office, or check the room assignment board located in the lobby, for our meeting room’s location. Our regular meeting location is no longer large enough for our ever-increasing turnout. We are proud to announce that our May meeting was so well attended that our audience spilled into the hall!

If you wish, bring an item for show-and-tell, which follows the presentation. Before and after the meeting, refresh-ments are served. Following adjournment, our lapidary shop is open for inspection.

■ LW LGBT Alliance

Pride Night Celebrates LGBT Rightsby Mike LaPoint and Pat Ritter

The Alliance invites all residents and their friends to LGBT Pride

Movie Night and Celebration on Saturday, June 24, at 7 p.m. in Clubhouse II. The group plans to hold the event annually.

Following a screening of “Big Eden” (2000, 1 hour 58 minutes, comedy/drama/romance, rated PG-13) at 7 p.m. in the auditorium, there will be a cake and cookie reception with door prizes for several lucky winners.

An exhibit the group is assembling on the history of the LGBT freedom and rights movement, culture and “great gays in history” should make for fun, interesting and infor-mative viewing during the reception. Information on the LW LGBT Alliance and other community resources will be available.

“Big Eden” is a touching story of love and family that takes place in a very small town in the beautiful mountains of Montana. Big Eden is the child-hood home of Henry Hart, a successful but lonely New York City artist, who returns after years away to care for his ailing grandfather.

Warmed by the openness and affection of old friends, in time Henry finds new possibilities for friendship and romance. The film hits upon the universal longing and hope we each have for finding a place where we

are loved, and the uncondi-tional desire to see those that we love find happiness. This film is likely to make audience members smile – and maybe shed a few happy tears.

This event of fun and cele-bration is free; no tickets are required.

Recent and Upcoming Events

On May 31, eight Alliance members attended a lecture sponsored by the North Potomac Senior Center on “LGBTQ Aging in America” by Dr. Imani Woody. Woody spoke about her groundbreaking work in establishing communal housing for LGBTQ seniors.

She also discussed some of the common myths and misconceptions about aging in our community, and challenged the group to stay connected with others, remain physically and mentally active and to confidently make our own unique life decisions based on what we truly want.

Woody’s lecture sparked some great discussions among our members, and we hope to invite her to one of our upcoming meetings as a guest speaker.

The Alliance maintains a very full schedule of diverse events and outings. To learn more about the group and its events, please attend our next potluck and meeting on Saturday, June 17, at noon in Clubhouse II. Or email us at ([email protected]).

■Comedy and Humor Club

At Comedy Club, Laughter Truly is the Best Medicineby Al Karr

You have undoubtedly heard – maybe many times – the

saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.”

Lots of studies have shown that that is not just a bromide. Here is just one example of what those studies revealed: The physical action of laughing makes you feel good because it produces endorphins, a brain chemical that serves as a natural pain killer. Endorphins reduce chronic pain, soothe stress, lower anxiety and wind up making the laugher feel great.

Those who want to observe that phenomenon first hand, and, better yet, experience it themselves can join the Comedy and Humor Club when it meets every Tuesday after-noon. We tell jokes, enjoy each other’s comedic twists and have a great time.

On the last Tuesday of every month, club president Sam Hack presents a video of a classic television comedy show, and it’s well worth seeing and hearing. On May 30, the feature attraction was standup comedian Bengt Washburn, who has described himself as “a logistically impaired ditz.” (I kid you not – this time, anyway.)

We also have an occa-sional lunch, where joking is bound to occur. One of these this year, tentatively planned for the fall season, celebrates the Comedy Club’s 30th anniversary.

Stars trekking to the standup mike at our May 23 assembly were Sam, Fred Firnbacher, vice president Gloria Horwitz, Maxine Lemack, Fannie Falk, trea-surer Sumner Levin, Sam, Josh Justin and Al Karr.

Here’s a sampling of some of their laughter prescriptions:

Fred: Reprise of the Ballad of Harry Lewis (suit maker), to the tune of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” (“Glory, glory, Harry Lewis, his cloth goes shining on.”)

Fannie: A woman got upset when a work mule wouldn’t work and just stood there, twice. She said, “That’s one,” and “That’s two.” On the third time, she shot the mule. Her husband complained to her, loudly. She replied, “That’s one.”

Sam: A man ordered 10 shots of tequila and drank them with great speed. The bartender asked why, and the man said, “You’d drink fast, too, if you had what I have in my pocket – 75 cents.”

■Rossmoor Woman’s Club

Rossmoor Woman’s Club Expresses Gratitudeby Marcia L. Elbrand

Rossmoor Woman’s Club (RWC) president Aggie Eastham often mentions

that the group could not succeed without the help of many people.

The group enjoys financial and physical support from dozens of its members, and from lots of “non-member” friends, who are both guests and contributors of gifts that range from voluntary knitting to checks in support of RWC community projects.

Reminder: Dues are Due!June is the month when

RWC’s annual dues must be submitted so members can be included in the group’s yearbook. Agnes Carr directs the produc-tion of the book, a tremendously useful resource for members. Members are encouraged to submit their dues for the 2017-18 year.

For individuals registering for the first time, applications are available by phone or email. Contact Siller at (301-460-7869) or ([email protected]).

The RWC donates many hours to helping local organizations. Beneficiary groups include A Wider Circle; scholarships for selected Blake High School seniors and deserving Mont-gomery College students; and the Betty Ann Krahnke Center, a domestic violence center; and Casey House Hospice.

The Group also donates to Fireside Forum at Leisure World; FISH (Friends in Sickness and in Health); Fisher House Foun-dation, for housing families of wounded warriors; a Head Start class for pre-kindergarteners at Harmony Hills Elementary School; and the Montgomery Hospice.

■Going it Alone Club

Time to Renew Membershipby Elizabeth Brooks-Evans

During a vigorous board meeting on June 1, the Going It Alone Club

(GIAC) officers and committee chairs finalized plans for the Club’s annual meeting as well as for activities throughout the remainder of 2017.

Annual MeetingMembers are encouraged

to attend the annual meeting on Saturday, July 8, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse II to renew their membership, participate in the election of officers and find out what’s in store for the club throughout this year. Members have a prime oppor-tunity to share their thoughts and ideas about future club activities during the open forum portion of the meeting.

After the meeting, all are welcome to join the party atmosphere as we indulge in delicious refreshments, engage in fellowship, and

play favorite games including bingo, poker and bridge.

Armchair TravelUpcoming widescreen video

journeys with renowned travel guide Rick Steves include excursions to Spain’s Costa del Sol on Saturday, June 17, and Lisbon and the Algarve on Saturday, June 24, at 2 p.m.

We will skip travel video screenings on July 1 and July 8 due to the holiday weekend and the Club’s annual meeting. Be assured that our armchair treks throughout Europe resume on Saturday, July 15.

GamesWe enjoy bingo on the

second and fourth Saturdays of the month from 2:30-4 p.m. There is no charge to play the game and participants are free to play as many Bingo cards as they can handle. Prizes range from small household goods and decorations to books and

movies. The winner of the last game of the day, known as “Blackout,” receives a mone-tary prize.

We play Pokeno on non-bingo Saturdays, and bridge, poker and rummy cube every Saturday. Members are welcome to introduce other favorite games.

■ LW Apple Club

Taking Great Photos with iPhonesby Ron Masi

Do you have your iPhone with you throughout the day? If so, you

have what most professional photographers would answer when asked, “What is the best camera?” The answer is, “The one you have with you.”

Many great photography subjects are fleeting, so don’t spend a lot of time getting your camera ready. Since you prob-ably have your iPhone turned on, changing to camera mode is quick and simple. Tap the home key, then swipe the screen to the left and the phone is in camera mode.

There is no need to enter your passcode; it’s ready instantly. It focuses by default and adjusts to the light. You can take a quick snapshot, and you may be happy with that. For better pictures, we’ll look at slightly more advanced settings.

Setting Focus and Exposure Frame your shot, and then

tap what you want to be in focus. Your iPhone places a box around the focal point. To adjust the exposure, slide the yellow, sun-like dot next to the box up for brighter and down for darker.

Tap the shutter button (or volume up/down) and the image is captured when released. The focus and expo-sure setting you made are then forgotten.

If you intend to take several shots of the same image, you’d have to reset them each time. To lock focus and exposure, touch and hold the screen for a couple of seconds until you see AE/AF LOCK at top of the screen.

When focus is locked, it disables the autofocus feature, so that the camera won’t refocus. Locking focus is great for street photography when something may move within the scene. To unlock, just tap the screen.

GridlinesWhy: To assist in leveling

landscapes and straightening or leveling architecture photos (buildings). Place subject on intersection of two lines. Also assists with “rule of thirds” composition.

How: Camera overlays on your screen two vertical and two horizontal lines, dividing it into six equal squares that you then can use to position your image. The grid does not appear on your picture.

Set up: Settings > Photos & Camera > scroll down to Grid and slide to green

FlashWhy: Illuminate a subject in

low light; fill in dark areas.How: Your iPhone has a built

in flash, which is also handy as a flashlight.

Setup: The lightning bolt icon on the camera screen allows selection of on, off and auto.

Warning: Flash may be too harsh. Compare shots with and without. In general, leave it off.

Tips

1. Put thin tissue over flash to soften it, or try stepping back.

2. Flash is only good for a few yards; using the flash for distant objects is futile and uses battery.

Upcoming MeetingAt the Club’s Tuesday, June

27, meeting, Ron Masi presents a 90-minute program on using the iPhone camera. Visit the Club’s website at (mac.Comput-erctr.org) for more information.

■Writers of Leisure World

Educating the Listener Through Storytellingby Carlos Montorfano

Gladys Blank told us of her love for books; she is always looking for a

new book at local libraries. One that caught her attention is by a British writer in her 70s who still works for the British social health system, which permits her to develop and maintain relationships with people her age.

Joe Brand’s poems are beau-tiful, and the group always looks forward to hearing them. One of them, “An Evening Walk,” made us feel as if he was taking us for a walk, holding hands with him.

Susan Hooper Billstein, a new member, brought three short and meaningful poems, two about close family members and one about new neighbors with whom she shares her avocation of knitting and designing.

Grace Cooper read two of her beautiful poems, printed on colorful paper as always.

Woody Shields continued to educate us on the lives of our white-tailed deer companions in Leisure World, with whom we share some behaviors. After a fawn is born, bucks elect not to assist in the rearing of the young; Bambi’s upbringing is

just a fairytale.Danuta Montorfano read a

touching memory about taking a vacation with her young daughter to a tropical beach. When the little girl asked about the color of her hair, she called it “honey blonde.” The memory is alive, 40 years later.

Douglass Kiessing, having undergone a medical test recently, studied the subjects’ field in depth and became deeply educated about it, which is a lesson to all of us who may have to face such a situation.

York Van Nixon III, after a hiatus of many months, returned to read stories from his books, some of which were more serious than others.

Carlos Montorfano, in the middle of an extended writer’s block but always hoping to bring a smile to listeners, read an old poem, “Empowered,” in which he writes that rejection is sad, but as long as passion fills the inner recesses of his mind and heart, he is empowered.

Tom Anessi read a piece about a lieutenant who served a tour in Vietnam and, by a strange twist of fate, was sent back to serve another.

Meetings are the first and third Thursdays of the month at 11 a.m. in Clubhouse I.

■Chess Club

No Bad Names for Chessby Bernie Ascher

Government regulation begins at birth. In the U.S., state governments

regulate baby naming. Many impose restrictions to avoid objectionable names, to protect the child from embarrassment or harm in later life, and for various other reasons. Many state restrictions reflect technology needs to assure that names are compatible with computer systems.

Thus, several states (including California, Massachusetts, New York and Texas) explicitly limit the number of characters in a name. Some require use of the English alphabet only, excluding numerals, symbols, pictographs, ideograms and diacritical marks (California, Texas, New Jersey).

In New Jersey, numbers are permitted as names if they are spelled out (Eigh-tyfive, Ochocinco). In Texas, Roman numerals are allowed, but not Arabic

(James Addison Baker III, not James Addison Baker 3). Some states, however, have no restric-tions at all (Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana).

Other countries have more restrictive naming laws. In Iceland, for example, parents must choose from a list of 1,853 female names and 1,712 male names. Also, the Icelandic alphabet must be used. Names like Charles and Carol are not recognized because there is no “c” in the Icelandic alphabet.

Parents in Denmark must draw from a list of 7,000 pre-approved names. Portugal has an 80-page list with about 2,000 banned names; the Mexican state of Sonora, 60; New Zealand, more than 100. In Norway, one mother was sent to jail for failure to pay a $420 fine for using an unapproved name (Gesher).

In Germany, surnames cannot be used as first names (e.g. Schroeder, Kohl), nor can names of objects or products. “Osama

Bin Laden” was rejected because it is not consistent with German naming guidelines and is illegal in the parents’ home country (Turkey).

In China – with a language of tens of thousands of char-acters – parents are required to choose names with charac-ters that computer scanners can read, particularly for national identification cards. Numbers and non-Chinese symbols and characters are not allowed.

In Japan, only official “kanji,” characters used in modern Japanese writing, may be used. The purpose is to assure that all names can be easily read and written by the Japanese. Local authorities can reject names deemed inappropriate. “Akuma” (devil) is an example.

In Malaysia, parents cannot name children “Chow Tow” (“Smelly Head”), nor can they use names of animals, insects, fruits, vegetables or colors.

On Morocco’s list of approved names, a baby can be named “Sara” (Arabic version), but not “Sarah” (Hebrew version). In 2009, human rights groups charged the Moroccan govern-ment with ethnic discrimination for not allowing Berber (also known as Amazigh) parents to choose Amazigh names for their babies. Morocco claimed those names were rejected because they “contradict the Moroccan identity.” In the past, the Amazigh language had been criminalized in Morocco.

Saudi Arabia banned 50 names deemed to be “blasphe-mous,” “foreign,” or “politically controversial,” including Linda, Elaine, Sandy, Alice and Lauren, as well as Binyamin (the first name of Israel’s prime minister).

More names specifically banned include: Superman (Sweden); Batman (Sonora State, Mexico); Mona Lisa (Portugal); Anus (Denmark); Lady Di (Sonora State, Mexico); Sex Fruit (New Zealand); and Adolf Hitler (Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand).

Regardless of your name or your children’s names, you can play chess at Leisure World. In the game shown on this page, it is Black’s turn to move. What is Black’s best move?

The answer follows our message that the Chess Club meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1-4 p.m. in Clubhouse II. Membership is free. For further information, call Bernie Ascher at (301-598-8577).

ANSWER: Black moves the Knight to e5. Checkmate!

So do not wait for a birth certif-icate. Do not wait for a banned name. Do not wait for govern-ment approval. Play chess now!
