Ocean Ridge Plantation

Ocean Ridge Quilt Show

The Quilt Show finalists, charity gift, and pictures submitted by Carol Dunham, Member

Ocean Ridge Quilt Group.

On January 20th, the Plantation Club was transformed by the Ocean Ridge quilters who

hosted a showing of over 60 projects from bed size quilts to wall hangings and tuffets.

These works of art were the result of projects, done individually or as a group over the

past 2 years. Guests who attended were able to see quilt – projects, which were

monthly challenges done without necessarily knowing what the end result would look

like. They voted on their favorite items in the “rip and tear” challenge and to see a

collection of tuffets made during a two-day class at a quilt shop in Myrtle Beach. Many of

the quilters were on hand to explain paper piecing techniques, beginner row-by-row

patterns, and the art and inspiration of choosing fabric and patterns.

The Ocean Ridge Quilt Group presented 2 checks to 2 organizations, each amounting to

$1,200: the Waccamaw Boys and Girls Home, and Providence Home. Funds resulted

from the ticket sales for the Christmas Quilt raffled in December. Mr. Warren Mortley,

Executive Director of Providence Home, spoke to the group about the warm and safe

environment that the shelter provides teens in Brunswick County who are in an

emergency or crisis situation and cannot remain with their families. Mr. Ray Cockrell of

Waccamaw Boys and Girls Home also spoke to the attendees about the educational and

residential programs in place for teens who can no longer reside with family.

Pat Huie, the group’s long time coordinator, was presented

with a surprise before the day’s end. Although this quilt had

been on display all day, she had no way of knowing that it was

made with love and care just for her.

Many thanks go out to the Ocean Ridge Charities Association

Inc. (ORCA) for adding funds to the raffle collections to round

out a great check for these 2 outstanding service organizations.

Extra special thanks to all who attended our Quilt Show. The

quilters really do enjoy showing off their projects and have

already begun the next 2 year’s worth of projects!

I cruise. Do you?

I am not talking about

ships, or booze or Tom. It

is a nifty little gadget and when

used is simple and safe for me and

for my neighbors. What is cruising?

We can all do it because is so easy. It is

the cruise control on your vehicle. When I

am driving on any of the spine roads within the

Community, for example, Castlebrook Way,

Dartmoor Way and Ocean Ridge Parkway, I set my

cruise control to help me maintain a safe speed. Why?

Because I can sometimes get distracted and simply not

realize that I am going faster than the posted speed limit.

I know sometimes we all feel that we are in a hurry to

get somewhere or might be a little late in starting off for

an appointment. But think about it, most of us are

retired and this is one of those times where it seems to

me that it is okay to slow down. Do I really need to get

anywhere so quickly by exceeding the Community speed

limit? Of course the simple answer is “no”. But we’ve

all been guilty of it. So, I started my cruising habit and it

helps me from racing around our roads. I encourage

all of us who live in our wonderful Community to

consider cruising and doing the same to maintain a

slower speed. Start a new and safe habit today.

If we can get a few more drivers to cruise, we will be

on our way to reducing the speeding on our roads.

This is a lofty goal but I challenge each and everyone to

consider this simple, easy practice to bring about a

safer Community.

By the time this article is posted in the March issue, the

Vision 2022 survey will be posted. I encourage all

property owners to take the time to complete the

survey. Your participation is critical to ensure the

survey reflects the priorities and desires of the

property owners. ORMA intends to use the data to

identify and prioritize capital investments and

operational improvements that fall under our purview.

February 2nd, Punxsutawney Phil, the famous ground hog, predict-

ed another six weeks of winter. He has the pleasure of crawling

back in his hole and waiting for warmer temperatures. You may

be feeling the same, based on winter rollercoaster. Between OR

Winter Golf Challenges, Valentines Day, the upcoming St. Pat-

rick’s Day, and waiting for spring and Easter to arrive, that is a lot

to take in for 6 weeks, and you may worry about the future.

We felt some very warm and sunny days, and by focusing on that,

you can keep your Ocean Ridge activities moving, make plans to

walk the trails, make a difference in your community, or use

whatever spare time you have to learn new stuff, meet some new people, and so on. Spring is on the way, and

summer will follow whether the ground hog has a say in it or not! Enjoy and live healthy!!

Ocean Ridge’s very own Doo Wop singing group “The

Momentz” put on a show to a sold out (standing room

only) audience at the Officers Club in Little River, SC.

The Momentz performance capped off an historic

Presidential Inauguration Day on Friday. Songs were

performed from groups in the 50’s and 60’s with the

theme of “Taking You Back” to songs from the era of

our youth. Janet (From Another Planet) Sullivan

captivated the audience with her soulful rendition of

many songs.

There was a very special appearance of Rodney (David

Henn) Dangerfield, which kept the audience in “stitches”

for his entire performance. With over 34 songs

Ocean Ridge’s “The Momentz”


performed over three sets lasting over three hours, the

audience stayed until the final song. The Momentz

concluded the evening with its rendition of “Lost in the

50’s” to a standing ovation from the audience. The group

is planning to return for another show at the Officers

Club in April and have committed to performing at the

American Legion in Calabash for a veterans benefit

dinner at the end of February.

Stealing Mexican Territory

Mike Daley summarized the meeting held on January 22,

2017. The History Club meetings take place the 4th

Wednesday of each month @7:00PM, Plantation Club.

Hope to see you there.

David Higinbotham opened the 8th season of the

History Club with his 13th presentation of this well

appreciated monthly event. This was the final piece of

this three-part presentation of the Mexican War. The

evening started out with a pop quiz on the California

state flag, - which everyone flunked.

For those of you who are curious, William L. Todd

(nephew of Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Abraham

Lincoln) designed the CA state flag. The historic bear

flag was raised at Sonoma, California in 1846 by

American settlers in revolt against Mexican rule (officially

adopted as the state flag of California in 1911). The red

star represents the California Lone Star flag that flew

over California for a few months during the Mexican

War. According to folklore, the star was originally

painted with blackberry juice, as it was the only red

liquid available to Mr. Todd. The bear on the flag was in

honor of the rebels that started the California uprising

against Mexico. They called themselves “Osos” which is

the Spanish word for bears. The grizzly bear represents

strength and unyielding determination.

As for the rebellion against Mexico, the battles that took

place were more scuffles as they involved small groups

of Americans vs. small groups of Mexican supporters.

From start to finish, the California portion of the

Mexican War lasted little more than 7 or 8 months and

resulted in just under 100 deaths combined. It also

resulted in much confusion as to who was in charge of

which armies, what the orders were from the President,

and how the outcome was finalized. Some of the key

players became heroes or scapegoats, while other key

players were forgotten in the history books.

History Discussion Club


All of those in attendance came away with a better

understanding of the mindset of the California residents

and who shaped the history of California. For more

information about the name of the bear and why there is

a red star, go to California State Flag - 50States.com and

StateSymbolsUSA.org.

subject at a future History Club presentation or if you

would like to present a topic at one of the meetings.

For several years Peggy

Burris (Queensbury Place)

and Debbie Wingfield

(Stonley Circle) carpooled

together when they both

worked at the Department

of Energy in Washington,

DC. Peggy retired early and

moved south to OR. Debbie only knew that Peggy had

moved “south”, but did not know exactly where.

Debbie and Steve Wingfield also decided to move south,

and in 2013 they were planning to build their home in

OR.

One hot day, the Wingfields decided to go to the

Plantation Club pool to cool off. Leaving the pool area

Debbie spotted Peggy and, after much yelling and

hugging, the relationship was renewed. Peggy was

invaluable during the Wingfield’s building process.

Debbie later joined Peggy’s hospice doll group.

What’re the Hospice Dolls Volunteers Up To?

The Hospice Dolls Volunteers Group meets on the first

Tuesday every month in the Plantation Club Member’s

Lounge to make dolls, angels, and our brand new

product – tiny little hearts. While we have lots of fun

and get to know each other better, we are touchingly

aware that these little crafts we spend much time

making, in a small way help people we will never meet.

It astounds us how Hospice counselors and nurses

conceive amazing ways to help their patients, and that

our crafts help them help others deal with end-of-life

issues.

Tasks we might attend to differ each month. Monthly

reminders in ORMA online notices spell out what we

Small World


will be doing at the next meeting, so volunteers can

decide if it is something they would be interested in

helping out with.

The first two months this year we have started hand

sewing and stuffing our tiny little hearts so the

counselors can use them as a teaching tool – primarily to

help children learn to cope with their grief. And, of

course, dolls and angels are always in different stages of

completion. Some volunteers help from home so we

may finish more during meetings.

If anyone is interested in helping, but cannot join us on

the 1st Tuesday each month (1:00pm – 3:30pm), please

contact Peggy Burris at 910-575-1087 or

[email protected] for information about what projects

you could work on while home watching TV.

Far to the north, a young lady of

English immigrants to Canada

presented her husband with a

daughter, to complement their

two sons. The delighted father,

who immigrated from Wales at the

age of 3, saw his family rounded

out, having served in the Canadian

Army during WWII, and seeing

action in the European theatre as a

member of the signal corps. He provided a solid middle

class family life for his wife and three children as a

salesman for Hamilton Porcelain Company. He took the

family camping every summer to explore the wilds of

Canada. The daughter’s first camping trip was at 5

months of age, although she remembers nothing of that

trip.

Growing up in the town of Brantford, Ontario (75 miles

west of Niagara Falls), all three children were graduated

from Pauline Johnson High School and all followed at

McMaster University, in nearby Hamilton, Ontario. Our

young lass grew and matured under the guidance of her

stay-at-home Mom and the duress that comes with two

older brothers. That said, she held her own on ice

skates, as do most Canadians. Her father assisted

making an ice rink every winter in the back yard. She

also enjoyed skiing and sledding. Indoors, she labored at

the piano keyboard but soon gave that up (disillusioned

with the teacher) and took up voice lessons, with an

emphasis on solos, duets and competed some. She was

heavily involved with the YM-YWCA, where she

excelled in swimming and gymnastics, garnering

leadership roles in both, as well as being a qualified

lifeguard.

During her college years, she fell in love with a young

French chef, married and gave birth to a daughter.

Following the birth, the new family emigrated to the U.S

in 1970 for better work opportunities, initially to Boston

and then to Arlington, VA (Washington DC area).

Shortly after settling into their new environment, our

young mother sought to enhance her education and

enrolled in a local technical school to learn computer

programming. Early computers emphasized ALC

(Assembly Language Coding for IBM main frame

computers). This opened the door to three different

jobs that built on her experience and in 1975 Navy

Federal Credit Union (NFCU), the largest credit union in

the world, hired her in their programming section.

Unfortunately, during this time frame, she found herself

as a single mother and struck out with her daughter to

find a new home – one that she insisted had to have a

garage, a basement and a fire place. On a limited budget,

she found a small place in Reston VA, close to a good

school, with two of her three “necessaries” – but no

fireplace – so she built one; YEP, complete with the hole

in the roof for the chimney, and with all the permits and

satisfactory inspections. Obviously, we are not dealing with

just a pristine little lady from Pasadena.

At NFCU our young programmer impresses the

supervisors and soon promotes to manager of the

programming section she started in, and within a few

years she finds herself the Head of all the programming

sections for the credit union. Being involved at all levels,

she joins in fun events like company picnics and with a

strong athletic background, does not hesitate to play (Continued on page 10)

second base for the softball game.

During one inning a young over-

competitor, playing hard to win at

the “company picnic”, slides into her,

toppling her to the ground.

Introductions are short, and

courteous (he, having just knocked a

senior manager on her rump). Fast

forward two years and he applies for

a job opening in her department and

she hires the young whippersnapper

as an employee.

Now if you are getting ahead of the writer here, you

have guessed that this young fellow falls for “the boss”

and begins with an amorous invitation to dine out.

Interest develops on both sides and the two met

secretly for almost a year, as the relationship grows

serious. Realizing they cannot continue in this

fraternization (strictly against company rules) he elects

to leave the company and joins AT&T. Shortly afterward,

a 1986 marriage shocks his previous co-workers.

Excelling as a take charge and effective manager, she

soon finds herself promoted to Vice President of

Development for the growing organization. He enjoys

the work at AT&T and the world continues to brighten

for the couple and their daughter. They soon move to a

more upscale neighborhood in Herndon, VA (yes, it has

a garage, basement AND a fireplace). Our VP promotes

again to Vice President of Systems Design and Analysis

and life is good. Our young lady and her daughter are

naturalized together as US citizens in 1992, and nine

years later, their daughter is married.

A blow strikes the same year when our young executive

is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and is forced

into disability three years later. The couple assessed

their status and decides to move, finding a place in

Ocean Ridge. Within the first year of living in Ocean

Ridge she was diagnosed with breast cancer, successfully

treated and is now a cancer survivor of over 10 years.


Although laboring under the debilitating effects of MS,

you will find a never-complaining Maureen Cotter

maintaining an arduous schedule to stay as active as

possible. She enjoys golf (which her husband Kevin

insisted she take up because he could not match her

bowling skills). Maureen runs the “Leopard Ladies” golf

group and Kevin will be organizing the annual Member-

Guest Tournament for his 8th time this summer. Both

Maureen and Kevin have been consistent, indispensable

volunteers at the Brunswick Family Services (BFA) for

the past 10 years, stocking shelves, gathering donations,

and handling leadership roles in the quarterly

distribution of foods and the Christmas distribution.

Their daughter, Christine and her husband now have

three adorable children whose company Maureen and

Kevin enjoy several times a year. And NO, Maureen will

not make a fireplace for you, so don’t inquire. One was

enough!

OCEAN RIDGE PROPERTY OWNERS VISION 2022 SURVEY IS NOW OPEN

The ORMA Board has authorized the Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) to develop an updated Five Year Plan

for the Ocean Ridge Community, which will be called Vision 2022. The focus is on identifying and prioritizing capital

investments and operational improvements, under ORMA’s purview, which could enhance the Ocean Ridge image,

experience and values for the property owners. THIS SURVEY IS NOW OPEN FOR YOU TO

COMPLETE. See details below for the online survey.

VISION 2022 Survey applies to all Ocean Ridge property owners. It is the first step in developing a Vision for the

future 2022. This essential survey requests information and view on what constitutes the “quality of life” that the

property owners desire. In addition, the survey asks the property owners’ feedback on:

· ORMA Facilities

· Access and Safety within Ocean Ridge

· Impact of local and state Government Decisions on Ocean Ridge

· ORMA Communications

· Activities within Ocean Ridge

The final results of the survey will be tabulated by the committee, and presented to the property owners. YOUR

PARTICIPATION IS CRITICAL to ensure the outcome and actions stemmed from this survey reflect the

priorities of our community.

NOTE: The survey must be completed by MARCH 7 and should take around 20 minutes to complete. You

will be able to stop during completion, and go back and finish it at a later time, if that becomes necessary.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in making Ocean Ridge an even better place to live.

The non-compliant mailboxes have the wrong red flag,

no US Mail stamping on the door, and lack the proper

ridges over the top of the box. Your cooperation in

addressing the problem would be appreciated.

SPECS OF STANDARD MAILBOX: The correct box is

a standard Fulton – Size 1½ Black Enamel #19342.

The paint color is “Ocean Ridge Green” (looks

black). The standard numbers mounted on the post

are Hyco 4” reflective. Red reflectors permitted and

mounted on sides of newspaper box.

REPLACEMENT. Purchase the standard mailbox and

numbers at Costal Hardware & Supply (594 Seaside

Rd SW (on 904E), Sunset Beach, phone 910-579-

6006). If in doubt if your mailbox is correct,

compare yours to a new home just completed or go

to Costal Hardware.

REPAIR AND PAINTING. If you are going to scrape,

prime and paint your post, the “Ocean Ridge Green”

can be purchased at Coastal Paint Center (6600

Beach Dr SW (on 179), Ocean Isle Beach, phone

Storm Recovery Policy ORMA Board of Directors

[email protected]

In anticipation of the 2017 hurricane season, the

ORMA Board has developed a policy for funding storm

debris pickup. Please review the policy in the attached

link below posted on the ORMA website.

The top priorities are the common areas, the road

system and any unsafe conditions throughout the

Community. The Board is arranging to have one or

two companies on retainer, in order that we may

receive prompt service during a hectic post storm

period.

This policy will guide the ORMA Board and

Committees in making decisions for the betterment of

the community in the event a future storm hits our

area.

The ORMGA Winter Frolic Tournament was held on

January 23rd and 25th beneath bright and sunny skies.

The last three Frolics have struggled with inclement

weather and play was canceled. Golf in January with 60

degree temperatures – it doesn’t get much better than

that. The Winter Frolic is our fun event with No Rules or

Penalties. All of our contestants played to 80% of their

handicaps and competed within their individual flights

based on tee boxes and handicaps. The two-day total

determined the winners. Congratulations to all the

winners. The top three places of each flight are:

A - Flight - First Place - Dave Janowski; Second Place -

Ray Beadnell; Third Place - Mike Savoia

B - Flight - First Place - Ron Kishbaugh; Second Place -

Dick Giblin; Third Place - Greg Lipscomb

C - Flight - First Place - Bob Plebanek; Second Place -

Tom O'Connell; Third Place -John Wehner

D - Flight - First Place - Dom DeCando; Second Place -

Hugh Carano; Third Place - Mike Ratchford

Next month's tournament will be The Stableford, which

will be played February 20th and 22nd, 2017. Panther's

Facilities Chairperson: Andy Carden

Ocean Ridge’s new Facilities

Committee Chair, Andy

Carden, is always up for a

challenge. However, after a

career as an IT expert at

Sprint doing systems

development and his last 10

years at MasterCard,

traveling in Europe and Asia

to work with architectural

tech groups, he was ready to retire, relax and take it

easy.

He and his wife, Deet, grew up in Harrisburg,

Pennsylvania, but during his career they lived in St. Louis,

Kansas City, Orlando and finally in Stamford,

Connecticut. Once at OR, he was more than ready to

give up traveling for work, but happy to embark on trips

to visit their 4 children and 9 grandchildren. Throw in

golfing and skiing, and he was a happy man.

He arrived, however, at a point when he felt it was

important for him to contribute to the community. He

joined Facilities and for a few years oversaw

maintenance and projects like the bocce courts at the

Nature Park and pavilion. “It was the easiest job on

facilities,” joked Andy.

Now Andy has accepted the challenge of doing the

hardest job on Facilities—as chair overseeing and

coordinating the sub committees that make our

plantation club, beach house, nature park and pavilion,

community garden, and Route 17 gate house function.

There are about 30 volunteers overall; at the Plantation

Club alone, there are volunteers who specifically manage

the member lounge, indoor and outdoor pools, the

men’s and ladies’ locker rooms, fitness room, tennis and

Pickleball courts, and outdoor restrooms. It takes a

dedicated group to keep each building in good repair

and to implement capital improvements like the recent

roof replacement at the Plantation Club.

On a practical level, Andy enjoys doing easy repairs.

But Andy says “isn’t as handy as Dick.” Still, over the

years he would join the many volunteers to pitch in.

They have done lots of construction work, repairs and

painting, for example, the walkway from the beach

house parking lot out to the boardwalk.

Andy felt he was up to speed quickly thanks to

outgoing chair Dick Duffy, who “did an excellent job

structuring and organizing the committees.” The 2017

projects and budget have been in place for months, but

he is collecting ideas from each group to present to

the long-range planning committee. “We need to look

at implementing some of those ideas in the future—

and at least get proposals into the long-range plans,”

noted Andy.

Community Impact Committee Chairperson: Carol Dunham

The Commun it y Impa ct

Committee sponsored its first

2 0 1 7 “ s pe ak e r s e r i e s ”

presentation on Thursday,

February 9th. Chief Tal Grissett

of Grissettown-Longwood Fire

and Rescue (GFLR) accepted an

invitation to speak with Ocean

Ridge residents at the Plantation

Club. Chief Grissett, who, in

addition to being a firefighter, is

also an advanced emergency

medical technician, rescuer,

instructor and educator for a

long list of emergency and first

responder areas requiring thousands of hours of


P a g e 1 6



training. So what did we learn that evening??

Did you know …

In 2016, he and his team responded to 104 incidents

in Ocean Ridge alone for emergency medical

service (EMS) calls, equipment fire, weather

incidents and fire prevention services. Seventy-

eight calls were for EMS which was more than

twice what it was in 2015. GLFR responds to structure fires, motor vehicle

accidents, medical calls, hazmat events, fire

alarms, and specialty rescues such as, vehicle

machinery, agricultural and wilderness search.

The top three causes of structural fires in OR have

been lightning strikes, improperly stored

batteries or LP gas incidents.

They respond to all medical emergencies within

their jurisdiction along with Brunswick County

EMS. They usually arrive first to administer basic

life support.

Dehydration is up there with heart attack, stroke,

and cardiac arrest in our local area for

Emergency Medical Dispatch.

Did you know …“Fire Fees”…

GLFR (Grissettown/Longwood Fire & Rescue

Department) is a non-profit organization with a

contract with Brunswick County to furnish and

provide continuing fire protection and related

services to residents and property owners

within the county.

Their only source of government funding is derived

from the “Fire Fees” paid with property taxes by

each county property owner. BRUNSWICK

COUNTY is the only county in the state

which RELIES ON FEES FOR FIRE

SERVICES.

Only about 95% of fees are paid each year.

Donations from fund raisers and mailers make up

about 20% of their operating budget.

For every 3,000 letters asking for support, they

receive about 200 responses.

Did you know …ratings and home insurance…

Fire departments in North Carolina are rated by the

NC Department of Insurance using the

Insurance Services Office (ISO) standards.

Your homeowners insurance premiums are based

on the ISO Rating for GLFR.

Their current rating of 5 versus a rating of 9S

saves a homeowner about $100 for every

$100,000 of home value.

Did you know …volunteers and costs…

Of the 20 firefighters that protect us, only 6 are

full time paid employees, including the Chief

and Assistant Chief.

None of them have any benefits.

All others are volunteers who are paid $8.00 a call

for each call they answer. They do not

receive pay for any other fire department

activities. They spend hundreds of hours to

become qualified to meet the firefighter

standards.

Attracting and retaining volunteers is a critical

issue.

Outfitting a firefighter with personal protection

gear can run upwards of $10,000 each.

What can you do?

Support GLFR fundraising efforts any time of the year.

They are on the Ocean Ridge Charities Association list

of charities too!

Keep your eye out for any changes that Brunswick

County may propose to change the funding

mechanism for countywide fire protection

services.

And then raise your voices to support better and

adequate funding for fire protection services.

ORLGA Ladies Winter Challenge

Ladies rise to the challenge. Day 1, whilst dry and bright, there was a biting wind to contend with but, well

wrapped up, ladies ventured out in their teams. Day 2 weather turned wet and dreary, thus was cancelled due

to tornado winds.

Format:

Game Day 1 (February 8, 2017): Count two lowest nets on each hole. Also, each team member will mark her ball

with a “snowman”. She must play with that ball all day. For every player on the team who still has her

“snowman” at the end of play, deduct one stroke from the team’s score. Up to four strokes can be deducted.

Game Day 2 (February 22, 2017): Four Person Scramble (Handicapped).

Daylight Saving Time Around the World 2017 - Time and Date HISTORY.

George Vernon Hudson from New Zealand proposed the modern version of daylight saving in

1895. Germany and Austria-Hungary were the first countries to use it starting on 30 April 1916.

The energy crisis on the 1970’s accelerated the growth of Daylight Saving Time. It has been argued that

more natural light in the evening hours uses less electricity due to less artificial lighting requirements.

PREVENTION

We all moved here to experience what ORP and the

surrounding area has to offer. How we can take

advantage of what we have at ORP to benefit our health

for what will hopefully be many years to come?

Today, there is much more

consensus on how to pursue

and achieve more optimal

health than you might think.

There are also many myths;

much hype; and a lot of

marketing going on. Envision the journey on a football

field. Simple steps gaining 5-10 yards at a time will get us

to the other end zone of improved health. We may

encounter obstacles but consistency will overcome them.

February is Heart Health month. Heart disease is the #1

killer of men and women in the US and prevention

specialists like Dr. Dean Ornish have shown that heart

disease can be slowed, and even reversed, through a

plant-based diet and other lifestyle factors. Why wait to

clean up those arteries? https://www.youtube.com/user/

DrDeanOrnish Start now by reducing the meat and dairy

food groups in your diet and increase the daily servings of

fruits, vegetables and berries. They are protective.

We can change priorities in what we can do as humans

to significantly improve our health. Our bodies are

survival machines. The intelligence of the body is

constantly trying to heal what we do to it. Given the

proper tools we can slow down and eliminate many

chronic illnesses.

As a neighbor in ORP, and having studied lifestyle changes

for over 35 years, I will help sort through all of it and will

be happy to respond to your questions. Email me at

[email protected]. My primary focus areas will

be on what we eat; exercise; stress reduction; sleep; and

hydration; and what ORP might provide for us in these

areas.

While I work with many medical doctors please keep in

mind that I am not one. Their job is disease-care while I

focus on prevention. I will respond with preventative

steps based on the current science that we all can take

advantage of.

TAKE ACTION

Do I know life’s keys and how to apply in ORP?

Eat Right – When you eat a heart healthy diet you

improve your chances for feeling good and staying

healthy. As spring and summer rolls in, check out the

Plantation Gardens - Our committee maintains the

Plantation Gardens for the community, except the

private plots which rent for $25.00 a year. If you

decide to volunteer, just show up Monday between

9:00 and 9:30 am with some good garden gloves - we

have the tools. You can work as long as you like - we

appreciate any amount of time. Contact: Ed Gutnecht

E m a i l : g u t n i k 1 @ a o l . c o m

Get Moving – About one in every three U.S. adults

participate in no leisure time physical activity. ORP

has walking paths and if you own a bicycle, even

better riding through miles of Ocean Ridge streets.

Plus our own Plantation Club fitness center where

many enjoy a leisure stroll on treadmill, elliptical, a

bike ride, or go for a swim in the pool. Checkout

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, commonly known as

CPR, is an emergency procedure that combines chest

compression often with artificial ventilation in an effort

to manually preserve intact brain function until further

measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood

circulation and breathing in a person (https://

en.wikipedia.org). Did you know we have an

experienced CPR trainer in OR? Your OR neighbor is

scheduling 2 hour sessions and offering classes for
