Diane Rice, President, Lot 636, 828-230-7249 arch, a year ago the pandemic was beginning to become a major crisis. March 1st was the first reported case of the virus in Florida. As the Mmonth progressed, some bars and restaurants were shuttered, and in late March the governor issued a stay at home mandate; on March 2nd Florida Dept. of Health issues guidelines. The club house was closed, the pool was off limits. All activities canceled. Here we are a year later, and boy was it a year. Hopefully, that is behind us and we can return to some normalcy. We announced in our February meeting the approval by the owners of the park three new pool tables to be installed by the end of February, we also announced the request for new outside message boards to replace the existing ones, and the laundry room was recently painted. New business: we will be receiving the rent increase notice by the end of March. I will be ad- dressing some of the issues concerning the rent increase at the HOA MEETING: MARCH 8TH, 7;00 PM AT THE CLUBHOUSE. Please make plans to attend if you have any questions. Please pay HOA DUES Elsie Bonarrigo Lot # 335. She has a slot in her door to drop the envelopes. The March meeting will be our last meeting until the fall. Oak Crest / Acorn Residents’ Club, Inc. Annette Watts, President, Lot 504, 843-457-9599 s we wind down for the summer there are a few things left to do. Our last Residents’ Club meeting will be March 1st. We are looking for suggestions for Anext year. Unfortunately this year was very disappointing as we couldn’t do much as far as activities. Hopefully it will be different next fall. March 6th is the last pancake breakfast. We will be serving bacon, sausage, pancakes, scrambled eggs, coffee, Oj and a sweet roll. 8:30-10:00 a.m. $5.00 I would like to thank everyone who supported us as we are getting new people trained. We lost several people this past year due to health. I would like to thank Chuck for going in at 6:00a.m. with me to get the ovens going and setting up for all the workers so they can get started when they get in. Kathy Brady for cooking the meat and serving, Bob Lightner for cooking the pan- cakes, Calvin Kohn for getting the eggs ready, and Steve Stancick for cooking the eggs. I would also like to thank Linda Galan, Annette Habbe, Karen Stancick, Sharon Manship, and “crazy” Karen Tonzi for serving. A big thank you to Liz Bierfelt and Dave Brown for sell- ing tickets. We could not do this without all of you. Most of all a big thank you to all who come to the breakfast and support us. We will be looking for activities we can do safely this summer. Suggestions are welcomed. Everyone please stay safe for the summer!

    Table of Contents Introduction Rebecca Lee Woman In a Drawer Rachel Ball East One Jill Talbot Right, Right, Right Liz Windhorst Harmer Copyright 2 Little Bird Stories Volume IV Selected by Rebecca Lee If, as Nabokov said, literature is a river alongside our lives, following, interpreting, flashing, even threatening it at times, then I have lived for a few weeks very happily on the shoreline, reading some of the most lively, interesting, warm-hearted, intelligent prose possible. From a diversity of prompts, some beguilingly simple and some complicated, all generative: write a recipe, write 100 sentences that do not connect, write about rage, close your eyes and write, write about a flower, a heartache, a song, write in the voice of someone you dislike, write a list of things that give off light… come these voices, a reminder for me that there is a self that exists on the page that isn't present anywhere else in the writer or reader's life. One of the guiding principles for me as a reader (an unconscious principle, I believe, when I'm reading for pleasure, and a more conscious one when reading these works) is to note what this prose is doing that can't be done in any other art form. There are so many things that the movies can do better, and dance, and painting (I always have other art form envy when I'm writing: part of me wants to break loose into song, or dance, rather than that quieter, more stubborn negotiation with words). But there is something in a written sentence that can sustain a true reader longer— some road into the inner life, or an explanation of the contours of a relationship, a careful tracking of time, a grasp of feeling, a certain type of wordy humour that is getting at the strangeness of having an experience and thinking about it at the same time.

  • This Is It a Novel
    TTHHIISS IISS IITT A Novel BY DANIEL J. CONNELL Daniel J. Connell This Is It A Novel Prologue We begin at the end – or at least, the beginning of the end… Eastman Correctional Facility Tupello Present Day “You.” It was beginning to sink in. He shook his head. “You.” “Yes. Me.” He sat motionless, trying to absorb the words. It felt as if this had been a long time coming. He searched his mind for a starting moment, the birth of disaster. There were distant memories – teenage power struggles and blood splashed over scorched sands. He realized now the point when everything was really set in motion and it felt like a bad joke. From the start, the very beginning. There was little energy left in him to fight anymore. He sat thinking it over, helpless. The answers - solving the riddle - offered no solace.
