COMMUNITY NEWS & UPDATE

By Kenneth D. Colen Publisher

As I am writing this column, I can’t help wonder what November has in store for all of us. October was stunningly beautiful with fall flowers and soft light, as the days shortened. November too carries forward the October theme, but usually with light frosts and moderation. Once again this year, the On Top of the World family of communities is ramping up their legendary generosity as the annual food drive to help stock Interfaith Emergency Services is kicking off in early December. For the past three years, the communities have donated enough non- perishable food items to the pantry to fill a 34-foot box truck completely full, and then some! I’m hoping we can beat the giving of prior years. Many projects have been initiated and supported by our residents and numerous clubs, to name a few the Sewing Bees and Women of the World, that benefit the Marion County community. There are also more close to home examples of kind- ness.

Is it better to name a bank as my personal representative rather than my children? A. It is better to name the person or entity that you feel will handle your estate with competence. Q. The lady at my bank said I can name the bank as the agent in my durable power of attorney. Is that true? A. It may be. You must check with the bank, though. I suggest that you should discuss doing that at great length with someone in higher authority at your bank. Of course, you should also discuss that with your attorney. The bank with whom you deal today may not be around in a few years and the person with whom you deal at the bank may also be gone. I realize that sometimes there do not seem to be truly good choices for a durable power of attorney. Yet, in my opinion, it is so important to have a durable power of attorney that you must explore whatever good options you feel might work for you. Q. My daughter’s husband is 22 years older than she is. Recently, I have come to believe he is making passes at me. How should I handle him, legally? A. Don’t handle him at all. Tell him to buzz off.

By Patricia A. Woodbury

At our September meeting, Pat Ga- briel was our presenter. She is a very active member of the Ocala community. She presented a huge amount of information about the proposed changes for the 200 Corridor. Pat is the president of the SR 200 Coalition and also chairperson of the fire advisory and the park board. Some of the changes she presented, with the county and city planning depart- ments as her source of information were: • Bealls has submitted an application to expand behind their current building for a potential furniture company. • The Sims furniture building is being renovated for doctors’ offices and a radiology office. • TimberRidge has completed their last building and it is filled. They are thinking about building a sur- gical center. • Behind the office buildings of Palm Cay is 34 acres in which there is some interest to develop. It is zoned for multifamily units and some business. • Dunkin Donuts submitted a plan to build on the vacant lot closest to 200 beside Canopy Oak. • Ace Hardware is coming to Stee- plechase Plaza. • The land between Bank of Amer- ica and Countryside Farms is zoned for 339 houses in a planned urban development. It is not age restricted. There will be a six-foot fence and a 30-foot buffer between the properties. • The hill on the left of 200, where the old fire station was, is zoned commercial business and multifamily units. The fencing you see there is to protect the trees. • The dentist Dr. Dunn is building in front of Lowe’s and there will also be an urgent care office. Did you know the current population in Ocala is 55,000 and Marion County is over 335,000? The Southwest area has a population of 35,000 and will probably soon surpass that number! People still ask why we turn on the overhead yellow lights while driving the patrol car. That is to make sure people see us and as a deterrent. Members were reminded that our residents look to the patrol members as model drivers, so they are to watch their driving techniques and follow the rules of the road, just as we expect others to do. We continue to look for potential new members for the Community Patrol. Becoming a member of the patrol is to become a member of a well-recognized, large group of the Marion County Sher- iff’s Office volunteers. It is also an opportunity to take an active role in serving and giving back to your home community. The next meeting of the Community Patrol is Monday, Nov. 24. Anyone interested in becoming part of our community patrol should call Gary Rodoff at (352) 291-7508 or Richard Enos at (352) 304-8477. Our meetings are usually held on the fourth Monday of the month in Suites B and C of the Arbor Conference Center, at 3 p.m. Come and join us, the meeting is open to everyone.

® Vol. 28, No. 5 November 2014 | Section B Where the amenities are endless! LIFESTYLE A Fiesta of Balloons By Inge Gaitch

On Friday, Oct. 3, a group of residents departed for the Albuquerque Interna- tional Balloon Fiesta. Albuquerque became the prime destination for ballooning in 1972 with 13 hot air balloons participating and now draws as many as 575 bal- loonists from all over the world. The weather in this region is the best in the world for ballooning. In the famous “Albuquerque Box” pattern, the wind from the north at one elevation and south at another, allows pilots to launch, fly a great distance, then change altitude to return close to the launch site. This event takes place every October for nine days only. We attended the ascension, which takes place in the early morning hours and once the pilots get the go-ahead, you will see hundreds of balloons lifting off, all in different colors, shapes, etc. It was just incredible to see it in person, and we all enjoyed it. The following evening we experienced the balloon blow and fireworks, which were awesome. The group also stayed two nights in Santa Fe, N.M., with a visit to the old town of Santa Fe, the Loretto Chapel, Pecos Na- tional Historical Park and Los Alamos. All of us enjoyed the trip and wish we could have stayed in Albuquerque to see more of the ballooning events. Travel Toppers organized this trip.

Birders’ Beat By Ann Hannon

It is fall migration time; an exciting time when we hope to see a live bird on its way to a warmer place for the winter. An article in Birds and Blooms magazine by Kenn and Kimberly Kaufman entitled “Change is in the Air” identifies birds that are changing their migration patterns; two pertain to Florida, the Rufous Humming- bird and the Sandhill Crane. The Rufous nests in the northwest and traditionally wintered in Mexico and other tropical destinations. Now, thanks to thoughtful gardeners along the Gulf Coast and beyond, this feisty little bird has discovered Florida. Plant the right blooms in your yard and they may come. The Sandhill Crane is a year-round resident of Florida but the number of cranes in our state has diminished. In recent years, the cranes nesting in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan linger too late and only fly as far as Tennessee, Alabama Photo by Gordon Daniels and Georgia; our loss their gain.

By Bill Shampine

Estonia, the northernmost of the Bal- tic States, is bordered on the north by the Gulf of Finland, on the west by the Baltic Sea, on the south by Latvia, and on the east by Lake Peipus and Russia. Physi- cally, it falls between Maryland and West Virginia in size, but has a population of only about 1.3 million folks. For several centuries, the area currently known as Estonia was occupied or governed by the Vikings, Germans, Danish, Holy Roman Empire, Poles, and Swedes. In 1721, the area was captured by Russia, who ruled almost 200 years. While Rus- sia was adjusting to a new form of government after the October Revolution of 1917, Estonia took the opportunity to issue a Declaration of Independence in 1918.

The sea is calling and we are answering it royally. After we return from the November cruise, I will tell you more about the good times we enjoyed on the Explorer of the Seas in the January column. The December column will have more information on the spring and fall 2015 cruises. We still have room for you on the Bril- liance of the Seas for our spring cruise on April 11, 2015.

The sea is calling you so let’s go. In regard to our fall cruise. The club’s consultant began getting very good reviews from clients who were booked on Carnival’s Sunshine. This ship is the former Destiny that was put in dry dock and given an extremely expensive makeover. After painstakingly researching the ship in question and passenger reviews, the club is going back to Carnival for the 2015 late fall group cruise. The fall cruise takes place on Dec. 4, 2015, which is perfect timing … right after Thanksgiving and home in time for the holidays. This is an eight-night cruise with a departure from Port Canaveral, going to St. Maarten, St. Kitts, San Juan and Grand Turk. We have some good pricing on our spring and fall cruises. We are not putting our prices for any of our cruises in the column, because they change from day to day and we look for the best price out there for you.

We hope you all enjoyed the pizza party. It was a first for us in serving the pizza before the official meeting, in order to keep it warm. We hope to do it again. With our own entertainment and wonderful refreshments (thank you, Myra) it was a real good time. As promised previously, we are trying to make this year the best of all with new entertainment and events. This month will be our first musical meeting. For your pleasure, there will be all kinds of music: traditional, folk, modern, etc. You name it; it will be played for your dancing pleasure. The very professional accordi- onist will take requests for songs and the audience will be able to join in. So put on your dancing shoes, clear your voice and let’s all have a marvelous musical meeting. It has come to the attention of the good and welfare committee that there isn’t enough input between our membership and the committee. There have been several instances of need and nobody called Sunshine Lady Sunni Crown at (352) 509-4600. Everybody feels better when they know somebody is thinking of them. Sandi Wolf is taking Mary Chang’s place and will be sending out the monthly newsletter. Keep well, enjoy the fall weather, and I will see you soon.

(352) 854-8707 ext.7532 [email protected] Brain Health & Executive Function What is executive function and why is it important to brain health? Executive function refers to a specific set of mental skills governed by the brain’s frontal lobe. Executive function can be divided into two categories: organization and regulation. Organization is the ability to gather information and prepare it for evaluation. Regulation involves assessing your environment and using past experiences to make decisions and/or behavior changes in response to the information. For example, with Thanksgiving right around the corner, we all know how tempting it might be to indulge in a significantly larger quantity of food than usual. Based on the abun- dance of food in front of you (assessing the environment) and remembering how stuffed you have felt at previous Thanks- giving dinners (using past experiences) your executive function will remind you that you do not want to feel overly stuffed and uncomfortable, not to mention that this conflicts with your goals in managing things like blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol. • Work or volunteer paired for the following reasons; injury or enced by physical changes as well as on- Executive function includes the ability • Function independently damage to the prefrontal cortex, depres- going experiences.

The Sidekicks got our new dance year underway by welcoming our newcomers on Thursday, Oct. 2. Almost a dozen new couples joined us to give country western partner dancing a try, and did exceptionally well. They learned three dances, an astounding number for beginners, and they’re on their way to learning many more. Thursday, Oct. 9 brought our experienced dancers to the floor and we filled the Arbor Club Ballroom with beginners and intermediates alike, alternating our beginner and more advanced dances. Looks like we’re headed for a great dance year. We continue to dance at The Town Square most weekends and are looking forward to autumn and some cooler weather to dance and enjoy fellowship with our friends. We’re already starting to give thoughts to our upcoming holiday season and our Christmas and New Year’s parties. On that note, the Sidekicks would like to wish everyone in On Top of the World a happy Thanksgiving.

The band at this event accompanied the late Tammy Wyn- ette who was considered the “First Lady of Country Music.” The band members are the owners of this dinner theater. Two top performers took to the stage entertaining the group, which again to the enjoyment of all, was Jeannie Seely who blared out her hit tunes. Her act was followed by Tim Watson, a violinist, who has been heard on stages around the world opening shows for super stars of country music. Tim had the group just about on their feet doing a combination of trick fid- dling, crazy comedy routines, and singing with a strong voice. On the way back to Ocala, the On Top of the World gang had the opportunity to explore Rock City located on the outskirts of Chattanooga, Tenn., on top of Lookout Mountain. It has been stated by Rock City that seven states can be seen from a point called Lovers Leap in the so called “Fairy- land,” which is 700 acres of rocks of all sizes and shapes. During the Civil War on the slopes of Lookout Mountain, both Union and Confederates claimed that seven states could be seen from the summit of the mountain. The view of seven states has not been proven. Back in 1823, the top of the mountain was described as “a citadel of rocks.” What a trip. What an excursion.

® Vol. 28, No. 5 November 2014 | Section D All the events, fun and more! ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Sword Swallower Bedazzles By Ray Cech World News Writer

It was a standing room only crowd at the Circle Square Commons on Friday evening, Oct. 10, and the weather (along with the promise of bratwurst, burgers, and Spaten beer) brought out a record crowd. The entertainment was a “first” at Cir- cle Square Commons, because just about no one in the audience had ever seen a “live” sword swallower before. He was very entertaining, first showing everyone a collapsing sword, which is often used by magicians, and then producing the real McCoy. He let people handle the swords to be sure that there was no trickery involved and, with a roll of drums and great fan fair, he appeared to actually plunge the sword down his throat. First the crowd stood with jaws agape and eyes wide but then, realizing it was the real thing, they reacted with wild applause and cheers. In addition to great food and swal- lowed swords, Alpine Express treated the audience to some fine music in the tradition found in German beer halls. Okto- berfest dates back to Oct. 12, 1810, with the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Theresa of Saxony. More than 40,000 people showed up to celebrate the Photo by Ray Cech event … and thus Oktoberfest was born. Dan Meyer, the sword swallower, fascinated the audience at Oktoberfest.

Rubber Stamp Greeting Cards

By Linda Lohr

November is here! Cooler temperatures have arrived! Hurray, hurray! In keeping with the fall weather, Kathy Hoefer presented three cards for either Thanksgiving or for a fall birthday. Kathy provided several pieces, the necessary punches and embossing folders. Everyone completed their cards to suit their own taste and style. Nancy Toma provided small treat boxes and supplied decorations to create either a Halloween box or a generic treat box. We thank both presenters for their generosity and resourcefulness. Anyone can be a presenter – and the cards do not have to be fancy or compli- cated. Our group is based on friendship, and socializing and helping each other play a big part of the club! Our group is open to all crafters, beginners or those more experienced. One or two people do a presentation each month. The group usually meets the first and third Thursdays of the month, unless the dem- Photo by Kathy Hoefer onstrator requests other arrangements.

Sewing Bees

By Linda Lohr

We thank everyone who stopped by our treasures table at the recent Rags to Riches. You may have purchased a knick knack that just called out to you to take it home; you may have purchased one of our pieced quilts; you may have “purchased” a pillowcase for one of our children and en- closed your name to show they are loved. Or perhaps you purchased a drawing ticket for one of our handmade quilts. What- ever contribution you made to the Bees, it is deeply appreciated and helps us carry on our labor of love. The quilt winner will be announced in the December column. The cooler weather is finally here! And you know what can’t be too far behind? Of course … the Christmas and holiday season. The Bees have been very busy com- pleting Christmas quilts, pillowcases and beautiful handmade stockings. We will be stuffing these stockings with treats, stuffed animals and small toys – all 50 of them! They will be handed out to various agencies in time for the holidays. Our mission is to provide comfort for the abused, abandoned, and neglected children of Marion County. Your donations all year long help us to do just that. Stop by our hive on any Thursday in the Art Studio, from 12:30 to 3 p.m. We would be happy to show you our creations made with love for the children. If you no longer sew but have cotton fabric, fiberfill or batting cluttering up your closets, please consider donating the materials to the Sewing Bees. We will put it to good use! Please contact LeeAnn at (352) 854- 7205 or Rita Miller for more information. As always, the children and we thank you for all your support.

The New Pretenders

By Bill Shampine

Because of the number of new people living in our community, I think giving you a little history of The New Pretenders might be interesting. A troupe called “The Pretenders” was started by Ruth Daldin in 1996, with the first show being presented in February 1997. At that time, the troupe consisted of only eight women and four men, with no band. They sang 20 songs Build Your Own Bridge™ that first year. It wasn’t until 2000 when the famous entertainer, Ken Colen, began to sing with the troupe. When Ruth moved in 2003, the troupe regrouped with Diana Mor- Photo by Lennie Rodoff gen as the director. In recognition of the Larry Gering singing, “I Just change, the troupe was renamed to “The Don’t Look Good Naked New Pretenders.” Another big change for Anymore” in the 2014 show 2003 was the addition of a five-piece band. Today, we have an 11-piece band with of The New Pretenders. dedicated instrumentalists, seven women and seven men singers (with occasional miss our 17th performance scheduled for PER additional singers from the band), and Feb. 6, 7, and 8, 2015!

Photo Tips: Adapted from an article by Cole Dunn “Being a photographer is more than just a hobby or a career choice – it is life.” Something you feel you liter- ally could not live without. You feel the dire need to pull your camera out and take a picture of the beauty of your surround- ings. Sound familiar? Cole has compiled a list of eight ways you know when you’re a photographer. 1. You get upset when you don’t have your camera on you. 2. Having the best equipment just doesn’t cut it. You begin to realize that there’s more to a good photo than the equipment. 3. You can make junk look good. Ba- sically, as a photographer, you see potential photographs that most people couldn’t imagine being a photograph. 4. Your camera battery runs out before any other gadget. 5. You think the sound of a camera shutter is pleasurable. 6.
