DRIVEN TO DISCOVER The tools to see through every window. The wisdom to know what to look for.

When you need a diagnostic test such as an x-ray or MRI, you want to know you’re getting the most advanced technology available, and that your test results will be interpreted by a doctor who specializes in knowing exactly what to look for. I am that doctor.

I understand the complexities and subtleties of the human body as well as the incredibly advanced equipment we use here at RAO. My experience allows me to isolate what is important, no matter how small it may be. Because when you catch a problem early, it is easier to fix. And that’s the whole point.

Water Walking Have you have ever tried to run or walk quickly in a swimming pool? If so, then you have had the opportunity to experience the difficulty of moving fast in water. This is the premise behind water walking. It’s very effective and easy to learn. Water walking activity requires absolutely no swimming skills. We are excited to announce that our seasonal water walking classes will begin again in June and run Arbor Club outdoor pool each Tuesday from 1:30 to 2:15 p.m. If you haven’t tried walking in the pool you might be surprised how invigorating it can be. Walking on hard, land surface can sometimes cause pain and stress in your joints, but when you walk in water the buoyancy lifts you up and relieves a lot of that stress.

Daughters were named similarly with the first daughter named after the mother’s mother, the second daughter after the father’s mother, etc. This may help in searching for your ancestor’s family. Though all Protestant marriages were recorded after 1845, all births, marriages and deaths of both Protestants and Catho- lics were recorded after 1864. It is always important to research all family members. Start with yourself and work backwards. Check death record first, then marriage records, then birth records. You will be amazed what information you may find. During June, July and August, the Genealogical Society will not hold our monthly board meetings. We will hold a discussion meeting on the third Monday of each month in Suites B and C in the Ar- bor Conference Center. Members can discuss any problems that they are having in finding genealogical records or any problems with genealogical computer programs. (If a computer program problem, please bring your laptop.) This meeting is for all members and anyone interested in joining our society. Our annual dues are only $10 per person or $15 per couple. One of the benefits of membership is the large library of genealogical books and CDs/DVDs available to members to be signed out. June 2014 The World News 13 Fitness Happenings Fitness Schedules

By Annette Sharpe

Daddy’s Girl

A father/daughter relationship Is not a mystery. She’s his little princess, That’s very plain to see.

She’s the apple of his eye, Because he loves her dearly. They’re like two peas in a pod, Inseparable, or nearly.

She awaits his return from work Anxiously each day. To her, her dad is “special” In his own delightful way.

When he goes away on business, He brings a “present” back, And she welcomes him with kiss- es, Then, helps him to unpack

She makes him crayon pictures, Or a colored paper chain. He may never in his lifetime Get gifts like hers again.

When she decides to marry, And, he walks her down the aisle, I don’t think he’ll be wearing A “happy fathers” smile.

Shuffleboard

By Grace Rohde Charlie Lentz is the new Shuffleboard Club president; however, he is no newcomer to the presidency, as he also held this position for the 2010-2011 shuffleboard season. Welcome back, Charlie. We are pleased to have you as president of the Shuffleboard Club once again. At this time, we would like to thank our outgoing officers Jim Smith, Frank DuBay, Ginny Smith, and chairperson Carol Scruggs. Shuffleboard Club is the success that it is because of the many hours they gave to it. Thank you to all of them. The following are the officers for 2014- 2015: President Charlie Lentz, Vice Presi- dent Joe Veres, Secretary Grace Rohde, Treasurer Armann Rohde, and Past Presi- dent Jim Smith. The committees and their chairpersons are by-laws, Armann Rohde; equipment/ grounds, Lou Fisher; historian/writer, Grace Rohde; social events, Dot Migli- accio and Maxine Malone; tournament director, Peter Van Arsdale; and safety/ instruction, Joe Veres. John Mataya won a gold medal on Monday, March 31 at The Villages Senior Games in Florida. He played in singles (age 85-89) at their La Hacienda Regional Rec Center. John mentioned that they had six courts there, and they were all drifts. It was a “match play” for 12 frames, which meant that each player would play six frames with a yellow disc and six frames with a black disc. In this way, each player played under the same conditions. This win for John now qualifies him to play at Cape Coral. If he places in the top four there, it will then qualify him to play at the Summer Senior Games which will be held in Minneapolis, Minn. in 2015. Summer shuffleboard is in full swing. Do come and join us on Mondays and/ or Tuesdays at 9 a.m. If you are new to shuffleboard and would like to learn, just come and watch to see what shuffleboard is all about, or join us, and we will show you how to play. Need to brush up on your shuffleboard skills? Also join us, for what better way is there than to play with those whom you do not ordinarily play with. Watch their techniques and try them out to see if they work for you. If you are looking for more of a challenge, come and try Ten Pin on Thurs- days at 6:30 p.m. and/or on Saturdays at 9 a.m. You will be surprised how you can improve your accuracy by trying not to knock down the ten pin, especially when you have to score a good 10 in the 10s place in order to win the game or to prevent your opponent from scoring there. Whatever days you choose to come, join us to have some fun. That is what shuffleboard is all about. See you at the courts! The winners for April were as follows: Men Monday a.m.: Jim Baker. Tuesday p.m.: Jim Smith. Thursday a.m.: Vito Chieco. Friday a.m.: Roger Werner. Women Monday a.m.: Vickie Lentz. Tuesday p.m.: Grace Rohde. Thursday a.m.: Betty Schwartz.

Happy Hookers

By Marge Curran

Happy summer! Do you have a craft project that you started once upon a time that’s now hiding in a drawer or pushed back into a corner of a closet? Did you promise yourself that you would duplicate something crafty that you’ve seen in a magazine or at a fair? Did you set a goal last Christmas that you would try and make gifts for family and friends this year? If you can identify with any of the above statements, then the Happy Hookers may be the group for you. The Happy Hookers is a group of individual crafters who meet every Monday from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the Art Studio of the Hobby Building. There is no formal agenda or dues for the group, but there is a common goal to be creative, productive and social all at the same time. Participants in the group work on all kinds of handcrafts from knitting and crocheting to embroidery, cross stitch, and card stamping. Each member of the group supplies their own materials and determines their own pace. The expertise of the group often plays a big part in the process when someone needs help with a more challenging project or if inspiration is needed for something new. The Happy Hookers also set aside time every other month to enjoy each other’s company over lunch. The next luncheon is scheduled for Monday, June 2, at Mimi’s Café on SR 200 at 1 p.m. Please contact Naomi Berman at 873-4328 if you have any questions about the group or would like to be included in the luncheon reservation. If you find yourself de-cluttering and find yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks and/or pattern books that you no longer have a use for; we can always find a new home for them. Feel free to call me at 630- 336-1507 and I will make arrangements to pick up your donation. 28 The World News June 2014 Sidekicks Western Dance Club

By Tony & Carla Magri

It was a dark and stormy night. Well, okay, it was gray and threatening to rain on the evening of Saturday, April 19. De- spite the weather, several line and partner dancers made their way to The Town Square where they dance regularly every weekend. Sure enough, the rain began, but it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of these folks. A few couples danced on the gazebo and some line dancers continued to dance under their umbrellas. It finally rained so hard we all had to leave, but until then we had fun. These are the folks who are dedicated to their dancing and the enjoyment it brings them. The Sidekicks attended their annual end of the year party on Tuesday, April 29. Between a delicious barbeque meal, a challenging word and picture game, and of course, dancing, dancing, dancing everyone had a great time. As usual, entertainment chairman Jean Hester and her crew did an outstanding job. Our end of the year party doesn’t mean an end to our dance year, just that we go into summer mode and “kick back” a little. It’s a time to review, regroup and catch up on some previously taught dances. We also say so long for now to our traveling members and wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe summer. Happy trails … Square Dancing

By Walter Lamp

Our annual salute to Mother’s Day took place on Tuesday, May 13. It was part of our monthly themed dances. I will report more next month. On Friday, April 25, about 16 of our members traveled to Hawthorne Village Retirement Community in Ocala to put on a square dance demonstration for their residents in the dining room. We danced for about a half hour. We had two full squares and after the dancing, we were taken on a tour of the facility. Also, we were treated to dinner with the residents. Members who participated were Bob Lockwood, Ellie Cyr, Louise Green, Fran Bolson, Skip and Carol Spencer, Larry and Norma Miles, Bill and JoAnn Stockmaster, Tom and Rita Miller, Dick and Gee Sau- vageau and Walt and Mary Lamp. Thanks to these members who gave their time to the residents. The residents were most ap- preciative of our efforts as we were of their hospitality. On Saturday, April 26, at the Recre- ation Center Ballroom, Circle Squares held their first benefit dance. All proceeds were to go to the Ocala Ritz Veterans Vil- lage to help the homeless veterans living there. The decorations were in spring mode, helping us bring in the spring season down here at On Top of the World. There were numerous door prizes, all donated by our wonderful local merchants. Speak- ing of donations, our caller and cuer, Don and Loretta Hanhurst, donated their time and talent to such a wonderful cause. We couldn’t have done it without them. The rounds came first, and then two hours of square dancing and more round dancing in between. A total of $400 was raised for our homeless veterans. Besides the money raised, our members supplied the group with many snacks, in most cas- es, homemade. These last two dances, spotlighted the fact that not only do we dance for our own personal fun and enjoyment, but also for others. Just a reminder that we are closed for July and August. But, we begin the new season in September, with a special dance coming up. Dates to be announced. And a new season also means that there will be a new chance to maybe try your hand at square dancing. We’ll tell you when.

A big congratulations goes out to this year’s “The World Has Talent” winners, and all the contestants who made it to the finals. Our very own Richard O’Brien took second place for his rendition of “Fever.” He had the audience screaming, and the ladies throwing their unmentionables up on stage. He definitely heated up the place. Then there was Bree and Steve Mc- Donald who came in third with a duet of “All the Gold in California.” They wore costumes that brought their song to life; they were great! If you would like to see more of the winners, come to one of our karaoke nights. We meet on the second and fourth Mon- Photo by Ron Niebo day at 7 p.m. at the Candler Hills Com- munity Center.

Books that don’t meet these criteria and books that are damaged will create extra work for our volunteers, as they will have to dispose of them. We hope you understand our limita- tions and sincerely thank you for your donations. For your convenience, a complete listing of recently donated books is posted across from the large print shelves. Another recent change is that fiction, mystery and western genre books are now listed in a white binder above the card file. The list is alphabetical. It also mentions if the book is available in large print. Taking out as many books as you like without having to sign anything or promise to bring them back by a particular date makes our library special. Enjoy!
