Safe or Sorry?
Safety is a ‘precious com-
modity’ but, it is also price-
less.
It is necessary to alert you
and bring to your attention
again a dangerous situation
that exists here and hinders
the safety of our fellow Con-
cordia residents and guests.
The problem confronting us
is the consistent irresponsi-
ble and careless driving hab-
its taking place on the road-
ways of this beautiful com-
munity.
Serious thought and con-
sideration must be given to
correct this matter. We must
not wait until someone is fa-
tally injured before we react
positively.
Three components contrib-
ute to this unhealthy circum-
stance. The fault lies with 1)
some residents 2) some visi-
tors and 3) those hired to
perform some sort of service
within Concordia.
Let’s start with the residents’
portion of the problem. We
refer to those who are just
plain careless; don’t obey the
of which were located in New
Jersey.
Jack has always been a vol-
unteer and as such served as
the President of the Berkley
Tennis Club, where he was a
daily early bird tennis player
for 30 years. He also served

Jack Galin, like so many
other Concordians, began
life in Brooklyn, NY. A better
than average student he at-
tended Brooklyn Technical
High School. He served as
the co-editor of the Senior
Year Book and as the feature
story editor of the school
newspaper.
Jack went on to Syracuse
University where he majored
in accounting. He was Phi
Beta Kappa and graduated
Magna Cum Laude; every
Jewish parent’s dream son.
He married in 1950 and
within the next six years
sired two daughters and a
son. He and his first wife
were divorced in 1990.
By now Jack was running
a 13 store chain of women’s
wear stores under the name
of the “Melanie Shops” most

Training for Dogs

Concordia Jewish War
Veteran Post 609 presented
an award to the ECAD,
(Educated Canines Assisting

The main purpose of the
May, 2014 Board of Trustees
meeting was to present the
annual financial audit and, as
always, it was a success.
One of the partners from our
auditing firm of Wilkin and
Guttenplan answered all
questions to the apparent
satisfaction of the members.
Considering interest rates as
low as they have been and
our instructions to act fiscally
conservative, we did just
fine. We’re good to go an-
other year.
Once the second part of
the meeting began, numer-
ous motions were passed,
the first five listed memorial-
ized, since we hadn’t met in
several months. When all
was done for the evening,
more than an hour and a half
had passed. The following
motions covered.
• A proposal to repair Ten-
nis Court 2, clean, pres-
sure wash and touch-up
cracks on all six courts,
painting two of them (1 &
2) with Pickle Ball stripes
at a cost of $5,200. An
objection was raised by
Phyllis Rubenfeld to the

David Gorowitz: WWII Veteran and Concordian Historian
By Mirah Riben
If Concordia had a memora-
bilia or nostalgia museum,
David Gorowitz could be the
curator. David has neatly
saved and filed Concordia
news articles dating back to
1985, when the Concordian
was the Concordia Chronicle.
David is a proud veteran
who served in the Navy from
1944 to 1946 as a medic in
the South Pacific and Pearl
Harbor. After the service he
was Promotion Production
Services Director at Conde
Nast Publications for 24
years.
Originally from Coney Is-
land, Brooklyn, he graduated
Abraham Lincoln High
School in 1938. David and
his wife, Muriel, moved to
Woodbridge and 32 years
ago - May 26, 1982 - they
moved to Concordia.
David was a member of
the original Jewish Congre-
gation in the Concordia
shopping center and on our
Board of Governors which
later became the Concordia
Activities Committee (CAC).
Among his clipping collec-
tion is a photo of him with
Senator Bill Bradley present-
ing a plaque to the builders
at the grand opening dedica-
tion of Club Concordia. An-
other is a photo of Irwin Nalitt
throwing out the first ball,
inaugurating the 1988 sea-
son of the men’s softball

SOCIALIZATION
TUESDAY, JUNE 24 @ 1:30
This presentation will focus
on the essential role of inter-
personal relationships and
socialization in the lives of
senior adults. Americans are
living longer and increasingly
face diminishing health, loss
of significant relationships,
financial concerns, lack of
family support, and adjust-
ment to new environments.
Research has shown that
a decrease in social contacts
in senior adults may lead to
poor nutrition, restriction of
social activities, loneliness,
depression, and substance
abuse. The presenter is Sara
Levine, executive director of
Jewish Family and Voca-
tional Service of Middlesex
County, with offices in Mon-
roe Township and Milltown.
Ms. Levine is a licensed clini-
cal social worker with over
40 years’ experience in men-
tal health services.

play based on trauma suf-
fered by Eric Lomax. Colin
Firth is brilliant; Nicole Kid-
man is beautiful as ever and
outstanding in her role as the
wife of Lomax. Indeed, the
entire supporting cast does
an excellent job. As an aside,
if you recall the film, “Bridge
On The River Kwai,” you will
be reminded of that great
David Lean classic which
starred Alex Guinness.
I heartily recommend “The
Railway Man” based on a
man’s life - a man seeking to
find peace of mind. It is also
a reminder of World War II
and the cruelty of war.
June promises summer
fun, so let us enjoy good
times and meet soon again
At The Movies!
At the Movies

By Mildred Goodwin,
Associate Editor
you will find this movie quite
engaging. But the “Fading
Gigolo” is not a “must see”
movie and will entertain you
quite well on your home
screen.
*****
The Railway Man
Ever since “The King’s
Speech,” I have been a great
admirer of the brilliant actor,
Colin Firth. There are quite a
few fine actors on the stage
and screen but Colin Firth
has the ability to convey the
meaning of a role just by his
facial expression, the toss of
his shoulders, not to mention
the subtle nuances in his
voice when he speaks his
lines. And so it is with “The
Railway Man,” Firth’s newest
role in which he plays Eric
Lomax, the Australian author
of his autobiography of the
same name. The Railway
Man is a powerful drama
about the brutal torture that
Lomax suffered during World
War II as a Japanese pris-
oner of war in Singapore,
accused of being a spy. One
of his captors, Takashi Na-
gase (Hiroyuki Sanada) was
particularly sadistic and Lo-
max still suffers from the vio-
lence that he received.
In 1982, with the assis-
tance of his wife, Patti
(Nicole Kidman) and a good
friend, they travel to Thailand
where they track down Na-
gase, now 92 years old.
When the two men finally
meet, verbal exchange and
explanations take place.
Was Lomax able to put aside
the rage to find forgiveness
for his former tormentor?
The movie handles this in an
intelligent and sensitive man-
ner which I shall not reveal.
“The Railway Man” has the
attributes of a fine screen-
After seeing several films
in recent years that Woody
Allen wrote and/or directed
but didn’t appear in, I be-
came quite used to it - be-
grudgingly - I admit. But
Woody is back on the screen
once again in “Fading Gig-
olo.”
“Fading Gigolo” was nei-
ther written nor directed by
Woody, rather John Turturro
is the writer/director and
Woody is “Marvin,” a wise-
cracking, elderly owner of a
rare book store located in
New York City. Where else?
Unfortunately, small book
stores are part of a dying era
and Murray is quite down on
his luck.
But Murray is also an op-
portunist and he sees a ray
of light. A long-time pal is
Fiorovante (John Turturro) -
hardly a heart throb, but he
has a certain charm. Perhaps
Murray can persuade him to
sleep (for money) with a cer-
tain emotionally needy der-
matologist, Dr. Parker
(Sharon Stone). Indeed,
Fiorovante is successful and
Murray realizes that he can
become a pimp for his friend
and they can begin to enjoy
the good life.
Both men are gliding along
with this arrangement and
soon Murray gets the idea of
having Fiorovante meet Avi-
gal (Vanessa Paradis), the
young, lonely widow of an
orthodox Rabbi. Initially, this
aspect of the movie seems
rather absurd and tasteless,
but as the plot moves along,
the couple does fall in love
and a certain sentimentality
and sweetness come into
being.
If you are a Woody Allen
fan and are in the mood for a
quirky storyline, I do believe

June Trivia
The answer to this month’s Trivia is, as usual, at the end of
The Lighter Side, so make sure you read this first. This month
we tackle the world of literature. Everyone knows who James
Fenimore Cooper was. Among other achievements, he wrote
a series of novels featuring a hero called Natty Bumppo, bet-
ter known as Hawkeye- no, not the guy from M*A*S*H. The
most prominent of these were The Last of the Mohicans,
Deerslayer and Pathfinder. But you knew all that stuff. The
question here is: What was the title attributed to his
(Cooper’s) collection of novels of which Hawkeye was the
hero? Next month we’ll go back to the entertainment industry.
JUNE 2014 — PAGE 8 THE CONCORDIAN
Read Your Dictionary
Once again, a repeat from
several years ago. I’ve
changed some of it and
added a couple of things that
weren’t in the original. And,
as has become the custom,
the Trivia answer is at the
end, so make sure you read
the question, elsewhere in
the issue, first.
One sure-fire bit of advice
you’ll get from religious lead-
ers of Christian and Jewish
persuasions is to “read your
bible.” Not a bad idea pro-
vided you haven’t done so
recently, but unless it’s
something you do regularly
anyway, doing it repeatedly
can be a bit tedious.
It’s time these pious folks
started plugging some other
form of reading that’ll keep
your interest with a high level
of fulfillment. I don’t see
Christian clergy telling you to
read your Danielle Steeles,
or rabbis suggesting you
read John Grisham. Which is
only fair, since they’re not as
good as Nelson DeMille.
What we need is a book
that’s educational, will hold
your interest and is unlike
any you’ve ever read before.
Think dictionary; one big
enough to include what’s in
mine, The World Book Ency-
clopedia Dictionary, volumes
one and two. The first one
has 1,088 pages, more than
most other books. The first
page where there’s an al-
phabetical listing of words
with definitions is number 97.
What could there possibly
be on the first 96? Turns out,
quite a lot; some interesting,
practically all, unfortunately,
in fairly small print. Up front,
a Table of Contents, fol-
lowed by six pages of indi-
viduals who had something
to do with the publication,
each name accompanied by
impressive credentials and
history. It starts with an Inter-
national Editorial Advisory
Committee (50) and moves
on to Consulting Editors
(15), Manuscript Readers
(11), Editorial Staff and Spe-
cial Consultants (too many to
count), the latter broken
down by category.
Most categories had one or
two consultants, but Religion
had five which kinda makes
sense. You’re not gonna find a
Christian offering insights into
Islam. (You’re also not gonna
find “gonna” or “kinda” any-
where.) Having three experts
on Veterinary Medicine, while
History and Sports had only
one each, did seem a bit
much though.
The next segment tells you
the categories to look for
within each word listing.
Things like: syllables, parts
of speech, spelling variants,
definitions, illustrative sen-
tences, run-on words, idi-
oms, word origins, pronun-
ciation, synonyms (there
seems not to be a synonym
for the word synonym), anto-
nyms and more. A huge
omission is the stupidity of
the English language, which
t ol erat es Homographs.
Homograph - two or more
words spelled the same with
different meanings. Why
should that ever happen?
Internet e-mailers are right
on top of this: “Since there’s
no time like the present, he
thought it was time to pre-
sent the present.” Why
THE LIGHTER SIDE

By Bill Kulberg, Associate Editor
couldn’t they just say it was
time to give the gift?
A felon is a person who’s
been convicted of a felony.
Not hard to see how the word
evolved. But it also means “a
very painful infection on a
finger or toe, usually near the
nail.” They couldn’t think of a
better word? How about
“digitache,” or maybe even
two words – “woebetoe” or
“fingerot.” If I thought of it,
why couldn’t they?
Next come explanations of
each of those categories.
Simple words, ‘stop’ and ‘go,’
take up more than one and a
third pages in small print be-
tween them, due to complex
explanations. No wonder the
two books combined weigh
almost ten pounds. I no
longer need the Clubhouse
weight machines; I just carry
the books around for about
an hour. Makes me stronger
and smarter.
Going further, eight pages
devoted to meanings, pro-
nunciations, spelling and ety-
mologies. What? You don’t
know what etymologies are?
Me either. That’s what dic-
tionaries are for. “An etymol-
ogy of a word is its origin and
history.” How it began, where
it’s been used and how its
meaning, spelling and pro-
nunci at i on have been
changed. Two pages worth.
Several pages are devoted
to the importance of a larger
vocabulary, how you learn
and master new words, the
results of a richer vocabulary
and “Your Four Vocabular-
ies.” It seems we have listen-
ing, speaking, writing and
reading vocabularies. They
claim that speaking is the
smallest and reading the
largest, overlooking the fact
that far too many people
can’t (or rarely) read. Actu-
ally, there’s a fifth vocabulary
they seem to have over-
looked; Butchered Pronun-
ciation. Words like nucular,
arthuritis, alls (as in alls I
know), pundints and percula-
tor, to name a few.
The rest is devoted to
Signs and Symbols, Writing a
Book Report, Common Spell-
ings of English Sounds (45 of
them) and exploring vocabu-
laries in preschool and all
grades through high school,
with vocabulary “inventories”
for each grade in the form of
multiple choice quizzes. They
ask for the meanings, by
groups, of from 60 to120
words per school grade. I
aced Grades 1 to 5, but
tripped up on 6 when, for
“columnist,” I chose “disloyal
per son” r at her t han
“newspaper writer.” So
what’s a fifth columnist?

TRIVIA ANSWER: James
Fenimore Cooper’s main col-
lection of novels, including
the main character of Natty
Bumppo, was known (back
when they were more popu-
lar) as Leatherstocking
Tales.

A Review by Sylvia Sissman
I’d Hate Myself in the Morning
By Ring Lardner, Jr.
of the Communist Party,
Lardner replied, “I could an-
swer it, but if I would I’d
hate myself in the morning.”
This author began to serve
a year sentence in 1950 for
refusing to answer Con-
gressional questions about
his political beliefs and to
name other Communists.
This was the McCarthy era
before McCarthy arrived on
the scene. His career would
grind to a halt, due to the
studios’ black-list of Com-
munist affiliates. He con-
fessed that his activities in
the Party consisted of nu-
merous meetings that were
often boring and repeti-
tious. They never attempted
to discuss or be a part of a
conspiracy to undermine
American institutions.
The blacklist continued for
fifteen years. Writers wrote
under pseudonyms at re-
duced fees. He won Acad-
This wry, honest memoir,
by the Oscar winning screen-
writer details his experiences
as a Hollywood insider, a
Communist and a victim of
political black- listing who
served time in prison for re-
fusing to testify before the
House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee (HUAC)
about his politics.
Lardner Jr., the only sur-
viving member of the
“Hollywood Ten,” offers his
memories of a foreshortened
career, about his parents -
his father the fabulously suc-
cessful sports reporter and
sports fiction writer and alco-
holic, his brother’s death
fighting fascism in Spain,
and the cultural circle that
included F. Scott, Zelda
Fitzgerald, legendary car-
toonist Rube Goldberg and
others of that ilk.
Lardner wrote about his
membership in the Commu-
nist Party in later 1930’s
and 40’s. For him it was to
fight fascism and racial
prejudice, and it also meant
supporting labor. In his
case, he helped found the
Screen Writers Guild (a un-
ionization of Screen Writ-
ers). His thought was that
by supporting and praising
the Soviet Union, it would
be a positive tool for a
world suffering through the
great Depression, and later
as one of America’s most
important Allies during WW
II. He also deplored the ab-
sence of free elections in
the Soviet Union, and the
cult of personality which
surrounded Stalin. When
asked by Chairman J Parnell
Thomas of HUAC if he was
or ever had been a member

play, “Woman of the Year,”
and for “M.A.S.H.” Ring
Lardner Jr., the last surviv-
ing member of the Holly-
wood Ten died at age 85 in
2000. Although Lardner did
not live to see his memoir
in print; he saw the HUAC
go out of business and the
writers, actors and Direc-
tors Guild condemn the
black-list and their shame-
ful role in enforcing it.
This is not a literary classic,
but it is well written, honest
and a candid revelation of a
shameful witch-hunting period
of time abusing our First
Amendment issues. This
memoir is a reminder of a cen-
tral historical event which be-
came more difficult to under-
stand, undercutting our de-
mocratic principles - which is

more than 70 years of badger-
ing Congress to pass an
amendment which would grant
women the right to vote. But
getting the vote was just the
beginning; women had to be
educated to understand the
workings of government. Hav-
ing been voiceless - and there-
fore mostly invisible for so
many years - women had to
be taught, had to learn, how
and when to use their voices.
The League is a nonparti-
san political organization, dedi-
cated to creating understand-
ing of public policy by its mem-
bers and the public. It plans
voter registration drives, offers
pertinent information on elec-
tions, and often sponsors fo-
rums for candidates. The
LWVNJ maintains a VOTE-
LINE at 1-800-792-VOTE, and
publishes a Citizens Guide to
Government. Information on
that can be had at the League
office at 204 W. State Street,
Trenton, or by calling 609-394-
3303.
The Monroe Township
League meets monthly, usu-
ally on the fourth Monday of
the month, at the Township
Municipal Building, at 1 p.m.
For information on joining the
League, which is open to men
and women over the age of
18, or about programs, which
are free and open to the pub-
lic, feel to contact Ruth
Banks, 609-655-4791, or
Judy Perkus, 609-395-1552.

It’s Summer Saturday, June 21
The sun is shining
Temperature is climbing
I have a daydream
With Coke and ice cream
I watch the children playing
From the early morning til the evening
I smell some roasted meat
There’s a barbecue in every street
Everybody is having fun
Enjoying the warmth of the sun
It’s dinner from dusk til dawn
Pass the page on, before the summer is gone

“June Is Bustin’ Out All Over”
At last summer has arrived – June, the sixth month in the
calendar, 30 days to delight in good weather and good
times. During those cold winter months, it seemed as if
these glorious days would never happen, but here we are!
What is the origin of June? According to legend there are
several. Originally, June consisted of 26 days, but after cer-
tain Roman leaders added and subtracted a day or two, the
indomitable Julius Caesar settled the matter – lengthened
the month to 30 days, and it has since remained unaltered.
Once again, we can thank Julius Caesar for giving us more
time for the proverbial June weddings, graduations, lan-
guorous days and other seasonal pleasures. The birth-
stone is pearl and rose the flower.
Living in Concordia makes so many of June’s offerings
possible. Our golf course, tennis courts and pool are at
their best and provide us with the outdoor activity for which
we have hungered. But it is our lush, beautiful landscaping,
truly a feast for the eyes, that so uplifts one’s spirit.
Two special national events are also celebrated in June:
Flag Day, Saturday, June 14 – signed into law by Presi-
dent Truman on August 3, 1949. Although not a legal holi-
day, it is more a day to display the flag on federal buildings,
to hold patriotic programs and cheer the stars and stripes.
Father’s Day, Sunday, June 15 – a uniquely American insti-
tution that did not exist until President Nixon signed a Con-
gressional resolution designating its official observance.
Abraham Lincoln, a man who gave much thought to fam-
ily matters made this wise statement, “I know who my
grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what
his grandson will be.” Lincoln made this statement early in
his career – certainly his grandfather would have been so
proud of him. Unfortunately, Lincoln did not live long
enough to ever know what fate had in store for his own
children and grandchildren.
The editorial staff of the Concordian wishes the fathers,
grandfathers and a few great grandfathers of our commu-
nity a Happy Father’s Day and we all look forward to a joy-
ful month, a glorious Fourth of July to follow and all the
pleasures of summer.

tion on the side of the street
is also hazardous and
against the law.
Pedestrians, too, must
share some responsibility by
carrying out safety precau-
tions. Walking on the correct
side of the street, facing traffic,
is a must. Walking on the des-
ignated paths is even wiser.
Wearing the proper attire to be
more noticeable, especially at
dawn, dusk or night is a seri-
ous precaution in need of ob-
serving. Walking in large
groups that hog the street
(three or more abreast) is a
definite no-no, and needs to
be enforced. A car trying to get
around one of those groups,
moving across the center line,
could be in grave danger if
another car is coming from the
opposite direction. Cyclists
also need to do their part.
Wearing helmets, going in the
same direction as traffic and
observing traffic laws are ab-
solute musts.
Recent accidents and con-
stant careless driving prompted
yours truly to write this article. It
is imperative we make a strong
effort to improve.

In Concordia there are four
activities that are unique in
their make-up, memberships
and purposes. They are
WCOC, The Players, The
Chorale and The Concor-
dian. Their uniqueness is that
each exists to create a
“product;” WCOC, TV pro-
grams; The Players, a theat-
rical show; The Chorale, a
musical concert; the Concor-
dian, a monthly publication.
But, even considering their
common intent, different me-
diums are provided to the
community.
A Friday morning meeting
may sometimes, to a neo-
phyte, seem chaotic and dys-
peptic; but more experienced
members recognize that
such exchange of ideas and
values is what pushes
WCOC to attempt more pro-
grams with greater purpose

By Adrienne Fein
We look forward to greeting
one and all at the Welcome
Coffee and Conversation ses-
sion to be held Sunday, June 1
in the Party Room starting at
12:45 p.m. It is a great way to
relax and enjoy meeting and
greeting your neighbors.

It is amazing to hear some of
the connections made at these
sessions. Many old school
‘chums’ from their early develop-
mental years have found each
other again; and even some
long lost relatives have recon-
nected at these sessions. One
never knows who or what you
will find out about at this social
event. We encourage you to
come back on a monthly basis
to hear about the things going
on around the community. For
more information, contact Adri-
enne Fein (860-5984). No invi-
tation response necessary,
just show up.
and technical levels. Chair-
person Norman Briskman,
with the assistance of Irwin
Bialer, sometimes has to rap
the gavel with great strength,
encouraging membership to
“do it; don’t just talk it.” He
urges members to dispense
with “ego” and replace same
with “product.”
Past Chairperson Yvette
Lederman adds an encour-
aging voice to the proceed-
ings, based on her experi-
ence and expertise. New
members benefit from the
new ideas of youthful addi-
tions to WCOC plus the
knowledge and experience
of long time “laborers in the
vineyards.”
Such intermingling of new
blood with venerable minds
promises exciting programs
and a bright future for WCOC;
all to the benefit of Concordia,
which is their true purpose.

Nurse’s Notes:

Your Risk for Pre-Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes
portant note to your partner is
that a reopening bid in a suit
should be considered an at-
tempt to push them up one
level. With a good hand, you
would have bid earlier! (Eddie
Kantar, Treasure)
Quiz North (dummy)
♠ - 9 7 5
♥ - 10 7
♦ - A Q 4 2
♣ - Q J 8 5
Opening Lead: H - 5
South (you)
♠ - A Q J 10
♥ - K J
♦ - K 9 7 3
♣ - K 10 4
Every once in a while you
get a hand that looks impossi-
ble - but there is one line of
play (and lie of the cards) that
might work. This is one of
those hands. You need nine
tricks and you know if you lose
the lead the opponents will
take four heart tricks and the
C - A to defeat the contract.
What is your line of play?
Final Analysis:
Because you cannot lose
the lead you must win nine
tricks off the top. You need
East to hold the S - K, and
diamonds to break 3 - 2. Not a
bad shot - you can get to
dummy twice for sure with the
D - A and D - Q to take a re-
peated spade finesse - but
what if you have to get to the
dummy three times? Like a
good scout “Be Prepared.” The
D- - 4 is bigger than your D - 3
and it may be the extra entry
needed in the dummy. After win-
ning the H - K, use your D - 7 to
get to the D - A and play a
spade. The finesse works, now
use the D - 9 to the D - Q and
finesse again. Play your D - K
and now the D - 3 to the D - 4 for
the final finesses and you have
nine tricks!
Fun with numbers - some fun
facts about the odds:
1. Picking up a hand with no
card higher than a nine - One in
1,827 hands. You’ll get a few of
these!
2. No player holding a single-
ton or a void on a given deal?
One in four hands. Someone
has a singleton or a void on a
deal 80 percent of the time.
3. Everyone being dealt thir-
teen cards in the same suit?
One in 2,235,197,406,895,
366,368,301,559,989. Don’t bet
on this happening.
4. Being dealt the same hand
twice?
One in 635,013,559,600. By
the time it happens, you’ll have
forgotten the earlier hand.
And last, but not least…be
kind to your opponents. You
never know when he or she
might become your Partner!
Happy Bridging Everyone!
I am delighted to tell you
that my partner Rich Gurak
and I came in first in district
three in New Jersey for the
Senior World-Wide pair’s tour-
nament in March. The hands
were pre-dealt and extremely
interesting.
Here are more tips to help
you add to the enjoyment of
your game:
Tip Of The Week: Bidding
twice opposite a silent Partner
shows extra values (15-17
HCP minimum). Bidding three
times opposite a silent partner
shows a hand in the 18-20
HCP range. Bidding four times
opposite a silent Partner hints
strongly of a death wish.
Etiquette Tip: Keeping a
private score (on the back of
your convention card) helps
your game. It keeps you fo-
cused (you write down the
contract after the bidding and
before play starts), it helps
eliminate mistakes in scoring
and when there is a dispute, it
helps the director make a fair
ruling. (When all else fails, ma-
jority rules). So give it a try.
Tip of the Week: It is a good
practice to keep the auction
open when the opponents
stop at a low level, but an im-
diabetes, and heart disease.
Your healthcare provider
may order blood work to
measure your blood glucose
level.
An A1C which measures
your blood glucose for the
past 2 to 3 months. Normal
A1C is less than 5.7%; Pre
diabetes is 5.7% to 6.4% and
a diagnosis of diabetes is de-
termined with an A1C of 6.5%
or higher.
You can reverse pre-
diabetes- and delay or prevent
type 2 diabetes and heart dis-
ease – by eating fewer calories
and less fat, being more ac-
tive, and losing weight.
A study of people at high
risk for type 2 diabetes found
that people could lower their
risk for diabetes. They ate less
than usual, increased their
daily activity, and lost weight.
They did this by
• eating fewer calories
• cutting down on foods high
in saturated fat
• exercising about 30
minutes a day, 5 days a
week, usually by walking
quickly
• losing weight – an average
of 15 pounds in the first
year of the study
These actions worked for
both men and women and for
people age 60 and older.
You’re at risk for pre-
diabetes if you
• are age 45 or older
• are African American,
Hispanic/Latino, American
Indian, Asian American, or
Pacific Islander
• have a parent, brother, or
sister with diabetes
• are overweight
• are physically inactive
• have high blood pressure
(140/90mmHg or higher) or
if you take medicine for high
blood pressure
• have low HDL cholesterol
and/or high triglycerides
• are a woman who had
diabetes during pregnancy
Pre-diabetes is a silent dis-
ease. You can have it but not
know it. You’ll need a blood
test to check your glucose
level.
No matter what your age, if
you’re overweight and have at
least one other risk for diabe-
tes, ask your health care pro-

When you have pre-
diabetes, your blood glucose
(sugar) levels are higher than
normal but are not high
enough to be called diabetes.
If your blood sugar goes
higher, you can develop type 2
diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can
lead to heart disease, stroke,
nerve damage, kidney failure,
and eye problems. The good
news is you can take steps to
delay or prevent pre-diabetes,

Message

vider about getting tested.
You can reverse pre-diabetes
by:
• Increasing your daily physical
activity
• Losing 5 to 10 percent of
your total weight can help a
lot. For example, if you weigh
200 pounds your goal might
be to lose 10 to 20 pounds.
• Cut back on calories and fat
Think of ways you can
change the way you eat. Place a
mark next to the steps you’d like
to try.
Eat smaller portions
Order the smallest serving
size when eating out or share a
main dish.
Drink calorie-free drinks or
water instead of regular soft
drinks and juice.
(Continued from page 12)
Fill up on leafy vegetables by
starting your meals with a green
salad.
Check and compare food
labels and choose foods with
fewer calories.
Bake, broil, or grill and use
nonstick pans and cooking
sprays.
Eat more vegetables and
whole grain foods.
Increase your physical activ-
ity. Get moving! Place a check
mark next to the ways you’ll try
to add activity to your day. Or
write down your own ideas.
• Keep an activity log for a
week or two.
• Use a pedometer to track
your steps. Aim to work up to
10,000 steps every day
• Buddy up with a friend or
family member
• Do something else active
that you enjoy.
During the past 48 years, the
annual publication of “Crime in
New Jersey” has been used as
a means of presenting an impar-
tial and accurate account of the
status of crime in the State.
The report is prepared and
issued by the Division of State
Police Uniform Crime Reporting
Unit.
The recently released statis-
tics show Monroe Township’s
crime rate was 6.5 per 1,000
residents with a total of 267
crimes in 2012, which is the lat-
est data available. Compared to
the other 24 municipalities in
Middlesex County, the crime
rate in Monroe is the second
lowest with only tiny Helmetta
having a lower index of 6.4 and
14 crimes in 2012.
The 2012 average crime rate
for all municipalities in Middlesex
County was 18.5 offenses per
1,000 people, which is more
than 2.8 times greater than
Monroe Township’s crime rate
of 6.5.
In addition, the Township’s
average crime rate for the past
five years (2008-2012), was
7.26 per 1,000 residents, which
was the lowest in Middlesex
County and 2.42 times lower
than the County average of
17.61.
The facts in the annual state-
wide crime report are obtained
by the New Jersey Uniform
Crime Reporting System, which
is based upon the compilation,
classification and analysis of
crime data reported by all New
Jersey Police agencies, in ac-
cordance with the regulations
prescribed by law. All law en-
forcement agencies in the state
are responsible for submitting
monthly and annual summary
crime reports. All reported of-
fenses are compiled from re-
cords of all criminal complaints
received by police during routine
operations.
This data along with other
factors, including the population
make-up of Monroe with more
than 50 percent of our homes
located in gated, active adult
communities, a lower tax rate,
and the outstanding school dis-
trict, led to Monroe being named
the 14
th
safest town in NJ, ac-
cording to a list compiled by the
private security company
SafeWise.
The low crime rate and high
ranking by SafeWise is a testa-
ment to the dedicated service of
Chief Michael Lloyd and the
men and women of our Police
Department.
The Monroe Township Police
Department should be com-
mended for its outstanding ser-
vice, especially for the programs
and activities developed in the
area of crime prevention. The
D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resis-
tance Education) Program,
which has been a cooperative
effort between the police and
the School District, educates
our children at a very young age
about drugs and is the type of
prevention program that helps
reduce crime.
The Department’s Detec-
tive Bureau reaches out to
and responds to requests for
speakers and information on
crime prevention. During a
typical year, several dozen
informative talks with the
public are conducted and
include topics such as home
safety, personal safety, com-
puter internet safety and
general crime prevention.
In August, the Police De-
partment holds its annual Na-
tional Night Out event in
Thompson Park. The gather-
ing provides residents with an
opportunity to meet one-on-
one with police and strengthen
relationships between the
community, police, and other
emergency management per-
sonnel. It provides a fun envi-
ronment with games and pres-
entations that engage children
in a fun way to educate them
about the dangers of drugs,
drinking and driving, safe bicy-
cle riding practices and so
much more.
Chief Lloyd and the Monroe
Township Police Department
should be commended for
their continuous efforts to
keep Monroe among the saf-
est towns in the state.
Through their efforts, the po-
lice will continue to forge rela-
tionships with our residents
and help keep Monroe a great
place to live, raise a family
and retire.
Township Crime Rate Continues
To Be Impressive
• Take a walk every day if
possible. Work up to 30
minutes of brisk walking, at
least 5 days a week, or split
30 minutes into 2 or 3 walks.
• Start strength training by
lifting light weights a few
times a week.

The Chorale
Handles Change
By Jack Galin
“Life is a series of natural
and spontaneous changes.
Don’t resist them; that only
creates sorrow.” Lao Tzu
Life can be fascinating.
When we were young the
world was ours; any direc-
tion; any goal, any idea.
When we were middle aged
we went straight forward,
looking neither left nor right.
But now, in our twilight, we
are more flexible, more open
to change, more open to
newer ideas.
So it is with the Chorale.
After spending a good deal of
committee time and joint con-
ferences with Director David
Schlossberg, the Chorale
had decided that for 2014,
our concert in July would
deal with “Kings and Queens
Of Pop.” But as Wee Bobbie
Burns wrote “the best laid
plans of mice and men aft
gang aglay.” The songs we
planned didn’t work, at least
for a Senior Chorus.
So, at the direction of Mr.
Schlossberg, the Chorale
has branched off to an even
greater challenge, “It’s A
Small World After All; Around
The World In Song.” What a
wonderful concept; songs
from different countries of the
world. What a wonderful se-
lection from which to choose.
To say “the sky’s the limit” is
truly our only boundary.
Still in the early planning
stage we have included, but
not finalized, to name just a
few “La Vie En Rose;” “My
Cherie Amour’ Besame
Mucho;” “I Feel The Earth
Move;” “Faniculi Fanicula;”
“Irish Eyes;” “South Of The
Border;” “Scarborough Fair;”
“Uptown Girl;” “Tumbalalika;”
“Michael Row The Boat
Ashore;” “Return To Sender”
and we have barel y
scratched the surface.
As a group, we know we
have our work cut out for us;
but we are game; we are
tough; we are determined.
Come to our concert July 26
and 27. You’ll have a ball.
We will have a ball. We’ll all
have a ball together, Ole!

is always associated with fun
and sun.
Whether it’s raindrops, sun
rays, lightning bugs and
moon beams, these are all
the signs and sounds of this
month. It’s that time of year
to bring out your summer
“smiles” and summer “gear.”
Socializing by the pool or
partaking in outdoor activi-

blissful activities that result
from the “Joys of June.”
While many activities take

Concordia’s Annual Health Fair, sponsored by Saint Peter’s Hospital, with dozens of beneficial
venues was a huge success. More than 300 people attended. Among the residents clockwise
are: Fran Koppelman (center) discussing feet…; Frances Greenblatt testing pulse / oxygen
screening while Rita Dropkin waits her turn. At the blood sugar screening table (l-r) we observe
Millie Lautman, Renee Gladstone and Amor Buenaventura. Representatives of Parker at Mon-

long line of attendees.

on ponying up the cash for it,
you will not want to miss this
evening’s program which will
be presented by Bill Lefko
and Ira Winter. They will be
talking about cost free alter-
natives that look, feel and
perform like Microsoft Office
without the aggravation or
the cost. Further information
about the June 26 program
will follow by email. In the
meantime, remember to
check Cable Channel 3 every
month.
As usual, all Concordia
residents are invited to at-
tend one meeting as guests
of the club, so invite your
friends. Now for the com-
puter “Tip of the Month.” We
can’t stress this one strongly
enough. Be sure to use a
unique password for each of
your important accounts like
email and online banking.
Choosing the same pass-
word for each of your online
accounts is like using the
same key to lock your home,
car and office - if a criminal
gains access to one, all of
them are compromised. So
don’t use the same password
for an online newsletter as
you do for your email or bank
account. It may be less con-
venient, but picking multiple
passwords keeps you safer.
Also, be sure to back up eve-
rything on your computer of-
ten.
P.S. We also stay in touch
with club members via email.
If you change your email ad-
dress, be sure to notify Len

Concordia Players
By Emely Cook
The Concordia Players are
gearing up! Auditions are this
month. Our welcome back
meeting last month was a
great success. The members
were all back and some new
people came. Tony Adase
did a great job telling every-
body about our play “Pajama
Game” and explaining the
different parts, etc. that are
available. He also had some
handouts about the character
parts. It was a great meeting
and I was glad to see every-
one ready to start the sea-
son.
This month Tony will be
doing the auditions. At this
time the dates are Tuesday,
June 3 and Thursday June 5,
both at 7:30 p.m. in the Re-
gency Room. But please
check WCOC text generator
for a confirmation or correc-
tion as I am writing this arti-
cle early and the dates may
change.
What are some of the re-
quirements to be in the show
and be part of the players?
Maybe you did some acting
or singing in school - you
were not a big star, but you
enjoyed being on stage.
Things are the same here.
You don’t have to be the star;
maybe you have never acted
in a play, but want to — well,
you can be part of our group
and enjoy the camaraderie
while in our chorus or en-
semble. When you audition -
tell Tony what you can do.
(Continued from page 16)
He has years of experience
and will place you in the
proper part. Now let’s say
you don’t want to be on
stage - you worked behind
the scenes in your school
plays. You were the person
who got the small props. Or
perhaps you did some build-
ing or painting of props or
worked backstage. Guess
what — we need you too. It
takes a lot of people to put a
show together and many are
not on stage.
If you decide to be on
stage - rehearsals are re-
quired. Most of our rehears-
als (99%) are in the eve-
nings. That means that if you
are working days, you can
still be in “Pajama Game.”
Tony will work with you.
There is a place for every-
one.
There is one special part
this year that requires only a
few rehearsals (2-3) and of
course the three perform-
ances. We are looking for a
couple who can dance the
Tango with “style” in the Her-
nado’s Hideaway scene. Call
me if you are interested; my
number is below.
The play is scheduled for
October 17 (Friday), 18
(Saturday) and 19 (Sunday).
As usual Friday and Satur-
day are evening perform-
ances. Sunday is our mati-
nee.
The Concordia Players
have been entertaining the
community for over 25 years.
We are all residents, some
from the acting field; others
from the business world and
still others from manual labor
jobs — but together we can
produce a great show for our
residents to enjoy. If you are
interested in joining us and

National Council
of Jewish Women
By Adrienne Fein
NCJW has long advocated
that all individuals have the
right to live in a world at peace.
An early supporter of the
United Nations, NCJW has
had NGO status with full repre-
sentation for many decades.
As far back as 1898, Hannah
G. Solomon, NCJW founder
and then president wrote to
President McKinley advocating
an end to the Spanish-
American War.
Over a century later, NCJW
still speaks out for peace and
human rights, advocating
against human trafficking and
genocide, believing that hu-
man rights and dignity are fun-
damental and must be guaran-
teed to all individuals.
Join us at our general meet-
ing June 10 in the Clubhouse
at 7:30 p.m. Linda Kenyon will
present a one woman show
titled “A Life of My Own: Meet-
ing Eleanor Roosevelt.” Ellie
Seagraves, the granddaughter
of Eleanor Roosevelt, says
that Linda has totally captured
her voice, gestures, warmth
and engaging personal
touches. Eleanor Roosevelt’s
life and work has made our
country a better place to live.
This play illuminates some
steps of her journey.

The singer and DJ at our
April party were great. The mu-

Locasio certainly had the correct
requirements for us RnRers.
Memory tunes, great dancing
music and lots of it! Sal has one
of the most powerful voices
around; he’s extremely talented
and definitely knows how to use
his vocal chords.
The crowd kept up with him
by being on the dance floor with
every tune....of course we sat
down to mangia on some good
ole Italian food standards; gar-
den salad, baked ziti, fresh
baked breads and ‘Mom’s’
meatballs. The meal ended with
fresh brewed coffee, tea and
Italian cookies. Great time, great

shorts, tank tops, flip flops are
all acceptable. Only no no is…
no birthday suits; but then

least!

day, July 9. This outing,
sponsored by the Golf
Course of Concordia and the
Concordia Men’s Golf Asso-
ciation, is open to all mem-
bers of the Golf Course of
Concordia - men or women,
residents or non-residents,
seniors or juniors. Tell your
friends they don’t have to
belong to the Concordia
Men’s Golf Association. It’s
time you did a special favor
for a special person who de-
serves a special day. It’s
great fun with golf, breakfast,
lunch and gifts for everyone.
Prizes will also be awarded
for closest to the pin, “closest
-to-the-line” tee shot and
longest drives. See the fliers
at the desk in the Pro Shop
for all of the details and the
application form. To play in
our tournaments, we all have
our USGA handicaps com-
puted in the pro shop. Al-
though not required, if you
have friends or relatives that
do not have an official USGA
handicap, Golf Digest has a
free online program that al-

Our June schedule will be
dominated by the annual
Member-Member Tourna-
ment. Choose your own part-
ners in your flight, and every-
body will play in the Qualify-
ing Round on June 4. Follow-
ing play, a lunch of hot dogs,
hamburgers and discussions
of “if only I didn’t 3-putt the
fifth, sixth, and seventh
holes...” are included at no
additional charge. Those
who do not continue into the
semi-final and final rounds
should sign up for Individual
Tournaments on June 11
and 18. The Memorial Tour-
nament will round out the
month on June 25. This one
also gets your name on the
permanent trophy in the cafe.
A member signing up for a
tournament and then not
showing up has always been
a problem. You could be
abandoning your teammates
in a team format such as a
scramble. Please notify a
member of the Tournament
Committee if you are unable
to play that day so that a re-
placement can be made to
assure that your team will not
be missing a player. Thanks!
Also, Ray requests replacng
your divots!

A Golf
Limerick in
Four Stanzas
By H. M. Appelson
There is an old man from
Monroe
Whose golf scores are never
too low.
He tries all his best,
But fails at the test.
And such is the tale of his
woe.
Advice to that man from
Monroe – Here’s one thing
that he ought to know: If he
tries his best And still fails
the test, It’s something he’ll
never outgrow.
“Oh yeah, “says this man
from Monroe, “I was better a
long time ago. But golf is still
fun And when day is done,
I’m happy with win, place or
show.”
“Winning is not why I
came, And losing gives me
no shame. I’m sure you know
why I give it a try. It’s just for
the love of the game.”

Was the Tragedy Your Destiny?
By Sylvia Sissman
A relative (male) and I de-
cided to view a publicized
movie. We arrived late and
had to separate into different
sections of the auditorium - I,
in the rear, and he, practi-
cally on top of the screen. I
assumed he would be strid-
ing up the aisle upon the
completion of the scenario.
All participants departed,
except for three figures sta-
tionary “atop of the screen.”
So after a few minutes I ten-
tatively approached these
sedentary figures, and, lo and
behold, my relative was sit-
ting there munching on some
edible delights, while two
female figures were en-

edy and your destiny? Is it
possible that the tragedy and
destiny go hand in hand?
Could it have been predeter-
mined that this loss would oc-
cur? Could this be part of your
contract made before you
were born? I know that I am
asking a lot of questions but I
can’t contain myself.
Isn’t it possible that through
tragedy we find our real pur-
pose? Let’s ponder this....
Many people who have experi-
enced loss, turn it around into
something worthwhile be-
cause they want the loss to
mean something. Often it is
due to a painful experience
that brings you to the next
level of self-awareness, appre-
ciation, and even empower-
ment.
An individual that comes to
mind is Katie Couric. Her hus-
band passed away from can-
cer and she is now an advo-
cate for cancer awareness. I
am sure there are many non-

At some time in your life,
our lives, we will experience
a tragedy. This disastrous
event will turn our world up-
side down and affect us to our
very core. Have you ever won-
dered whether this tragedy
was your destiny?
Perhaps it has not hap-
pened yet to you, but it is in-
evitable. It could be a death of
a parent, child, serious illness,
unexpected injury or divorce.
Unfortunately, we are all
touched by it; rich, poor, male,
female, rabbis, priests, black,
white, fat or thin people. I
know this is a depressing way
to begin but I ask you to
please be patient while I get to
the point. I’ll do it quickly be-
fore I break down and start
bawling.
OK, we’re going to assume
that you’ve experienced some
tragic event in your life. If you
think about it, maybe you’ll see
a correlation between the trag-

By Frances Greenblatt,
RN, MPA
While going thru some
files recently I came across
a picture that brought back
a torrent of memories. It
was a picture of me and
four of my classmates in
our student nurse uniforms,
going over the material for
the next issue of our hospi-
tal newspaper, Signs And
Symptoms, of which I was
the editor-in-chief. I was 18
years old and had been in
training for slightly over a
year.
I had always wanted to be
a nurse and WWII gave me
that opportunity. There were
over ten thousand nurses in
the armed forces and civilian
hospitals were grossly under
-staffed. To help relieve the
problem, the government
formed The United States
An Incident at the Cinema
celebrities who are “turning
lemons into lemonade” and
are educating, supporting, or
assisting their cause. I find the
passion that they have for their
cause admirable.
Sometimes after a disas-
trous event occurs, people re-
evaluate their lives and find
new meaning. Perhaps you
appreciate each minute here
on Earth and take nothing for
granted. You may have even
wondered if the tragedy was
your destiny.
If it was your destiny, you
may find yourself shifting to-
wards spirituality or religion.
You may be looking within and
focusing on self-discovery.
You may want to give back
and help people who have
been in similar situations or
may even want to start a sup-
port group.
While transitioning from
separation to divorce, I discov-
ered a wonderful support
group that had a spiritual fo-
cus. Because of this group and
all that I learned, I shifted my
beliefs and have become
more introspective. I am writ-
ing a blog, learning Reiki, and
am opening up to the magic of
the universe. I believe the di-
vorce was meant to be and
finding this group was predes-
tined. I know that I am still on
my journey and have much
more to learn and experience.
I’d like to convey another
story that relates to a woman I
spoke to a few days ago who
was also going through a di-
vorce. She told me that a
group from her Temple found
her, seeking her out. This
group was the support group
that she was in need of and
she is now studying the Torah
and will soon have a Bat Mitz-
vah. Ironically, she will be hav-
ing her Bat Mitzvah two days
after her divorce becomes fi-
nal. Talk about new begin-
nings... She is an intelligent,
loving individual who I believe
is destined for a brilliant future.
What you need to remember
is that no matter how bleak the
future looks or how horren-
dous the situation, you will sur-
vive. The spark within you may
be temporarily extinguished
but this spark will eventually
reignite and will again burn
bright. You will be able to rise
above the difficult experience
and regain your strength and
drive to not only survive but
thrive.
You will be surprised at the
inner strength you possess
and the decisions that you
make. Since this tragedy is a
very powerful agent for trans-
formation, the path that you
follow may be surprising to
even you. Listen to your inner
voice, make a commitment to
life, and embrace the strength
within.
One Picture
Cadet Nurse Corp and I had
applied, passed the entrance
exam and was accepted into
the program.
Strange how that one pic-
ture brought back memories
of those years. We worked
hard and had little free time
off, but it was worth every-
thing to be part of the pro-
gram. We had signed a
pledge to enter the military or
remain in essential civilian
hospitals for the duration of
the war and the work was
very intensive. We worked
day, evening, and night shifts
while going to classes on the
same days.
Looking back at that pic-
ture made me feel proud and
happy to have completed the
training while participating in
the war effort. They say one
picture is worth a thousand
words. They are right!
grossed in a conversation.
Upon questioning my com-
panion as to why he had not
departed his seat, he re-
sponded he was awaiting my
presence to leave together.
The women turned towards
me and questioned, “Are you
together?” I nodded, “uh-huh.”
They quickly rose in their
seats, brushed by my relative
hurriedly and explained, “We
thought you were alone, and
you also offered us candy.”
His response was, “I like to
share good things while view-
ing something pleasurable.”
They brushed by him quickly,
with no other retort, glanced at
him scornfully and appeared
dismayed!

Ode to
Penny

By Fran Cohen
She came into our home all
fluffy and eager
We greeted her with love and
treats
She divided herself between
the five of us
But in less than six
months...we knew who she
loved best
Her master: he fed her,
walked her, trained her
And within a year...she was
awesome!
Never needed a leash, never
ran into the street
Never hurt anyone…but Be-
ware
She was a German Shep-
herd
Protected our home...all of
us
Thought it was her job.
We never had to tell her any-
thing twice
She listened...she behaved
And made our lives richer...
As we did hers…

Subsequently, a number
of residents came to the
microphone to ask ques-
tions or voice complaints.
Remembering that these
meetings have now been
reduced to three a year, it’s
only natural that the number
was larger than normal.
Some of the complaints have
been omitted here because
they did not concern prob-
lems that were germane to
others than the speakers.
There were also a few who
spent a good deal more time
than the others. As in the
past, Charles Petretti, with
several mike appearances,
led all others. I was unable to
understand some of the
names that were given, so
my apologies for name omis-
sions.
Ed Gimpel suggested that
the seven acres we own at
the intersection of Union Val-
ley and Perrineville might be
ripe for leasing in order to
earn some money. Jack
Cremen noted that the cor-
ner is being widened and a
traffic light installed. Six of
the seven acres are wet
land and cannot be built
upon.
Char l ey Koppel man
brought out that there are
two defibrillators on the
premises – one in the
Nurse’s Office and the
other with Security. He also
questioned the lack of a
Candidates Night at the
Clubhouse this year. Bill
Lefko pointed out that the
latest ones were useless,
with poor turnouts and often
questions being responded
to identically by the candi-
dates seated on the stage.
Also, there will be inter-
views of all candidates cov-
ered in The Concordian and
possibly WCOC will do indi-
vidual interviews as it has
in the past.
Michele Lieberson com-
plained about the condition
of the sidewalk on Concor-
dia Circle and that it was
not fit for walking, what with
all the cracks and depres-
sions. The response to this
was that tree roots have
caused these problems and
there is little that can be
the entire script. Men played
the role of the bride, mother
of the bride and groom,
bride’s maid, etc. while
women played the groom,
best man and groom’s men.
done. She also complained
about Comcast and their
poor service. Unfortunately,
they pretty much have the
field to themselves. FIOS
(Verizon) will likely not be
available, if at all, for an-
other two years. They have
no lines in yet.
Evidently some people
want their alarm phones not
to be land line phones.
There’s a complicated sys-
tem that you can use
(contacting the phone com-
pany) that will give you a
new phone number for your
cell phone and keep your
land line connected in case
of emergency. I did not un-
derstand that entirely, but it’s
worth checking out with the
phone companies.
A couple of people com-
plained about drivers in the
community. Speeding and
had been “converted” to
Pickle Ball. Jack Cremen
noted that these two
were mostly unused and
assured her that Pickle
Ball, a relatively new
sport, was becoming
more popular. My knowl-
edge of the sport runs to
the fact that it requires a
smaller area than a nor-
mal tennis court.

This was followed by
Trustee reports. Sylvia
Brenner reminded all that
the Health Fair was being
held the following Thursday.
She also suggested that all
those over the age of 60
should consider a Shingles
vaccine. Consulting a doc-
tor should always precede

such an action. As in the
past, she strongly recom-
mended Lifeline Pendants
for those living alone or in
the instance where one of
the members of a home are
left alone for extended
numbers and periods of
time. Finally, she advised
that phone calls received
concerning “Ready-to-ship
Alerts” are scams.
Nancy Marconi extended
praise to our TV station
WCOC (channel 3) for its
quality programming.
Ira Winter announced
that there was an Emer-
gency Response Team,
consisting of major employ-
ees and several Trustees,
himself included, to man
the Clubhouse in case of
emergencies. He also an-
nounced that the main and
security generators were
now hooked up and active.
He also reiterated the oft-
spoken instructions to walk-
ers, including most impor-
tantly, the use of a flash-
light when walking at night.
Bill Lefko next gave an
update to the Golf Course
status. We’re currently
awaiting a favorable “Letter
Ruling” from the IRS. This
involves our continued non-
taxable status of the
Course and the Home
Owners Association as a
result of the acquisition.
The Golf Course, a few
weeks ago, received back
its check from the IRS for
the fee of $850 required to
request a Letter Ruling.
Our Tax Attorney is cur-
rently considering the rea-
son for the check return
along with the letter re-
ceived from the IRS along
with the check.

non-observance of stop
signs were the problems. A
suggestion that speed
bumps be installed in the
roads was responded to with
the fact that when emer-
gency vehicles need to make
good time getting to their tar-
gets, road bumps could be a
major problem. It was sug-
gested that more electronic
equipment might deter some
of the offenders.
Don Macina came to the
mike to complain that elec-
tion coverage was inade-
quate. This seemed to be
popular with the audience
that had remained to this
point.
A question about solar
panels was answered by the
fact that the Board does not
allow them.
The next meeting will be
held July 7.
