President’s Corner
Bill Glock, HOA President
Well, the past month has presented challenges to us all that we could have never even imagined just a couple of months ago! The serious health issues that the Coronavirus (COVID 19) presents to our country, our community and our res-idents demand our immediate attention and, hopefully, temporary changes as to how we go about our daily routines. Iwould like to offer assurances that
yourAssociation Board of Directors, committees, and staffare committed to following all directives issued by our local, state, and federal agencies as we navigate through this trying time. At the same time, we are also, on a daily basis, working hard to keep the business end of the Association on track. Bills are being paid, landscape work is being completed, new con-tracts are being negotiated, and required maintenance is being scheduled. One of the bigger impacts has been the cancellation of committee and board meetings, including the potential re-scheduling of the Annual Meeting and Election process. The Board of Directors realizes how important attending the An-nual Meeting and the Election process is to the Members and it is our intention to, if possible, retain the May 7, 2020, date. However, if rescheduling is required, the board intends to do so as soon as possible. In closing, I ask that all residents of The Parke bear with us,bepatient,andfindcomfort inknowingthatwewillgetthrough this challenge.
Due to unforeseen circumstances,all Members will be advised
as to when the next Committee/Board meetings will take place.
Nominating/Election Committee Our community steps up when the time comes, and we did so again this year when the call for nominations went out for our three open board positions. Five Members volunteered their time and expertise for our three positions and several oth-ers considered doing so. Thank you to everyone for any part you play in supporting our great community. The biographies of all five candidateswill be availableto you from assorted sources during the next few weeks, and hopefully you will review them carefully to make your choices and vote before the Annual Meeting. The mailing concerning the election of new board members, e-voting, and the Annual Meeting will be delayed as will the events themselves, due to the current unprecedented circumstances across the country. Atthistime,theboardplanstoreassessoursituationthefirstpart of April. The election of new board members and the An-nual Meeting will happen at some point, but at the moment, we cannot be sure of the dates and times. The current board has agreed to continue in their positions until such time as we can proceed with our normal activities.

Caring Neighbors Program in The Parke Caring Neighbors is a group of volunteer Parke residents who will provide infrequent and occasional assistance to other Parke residents. The group has existed for many years and several residents have served as coordinators in the past. Prior to the current social distancing situation, most requests were for the following: • Installation of a Life Alert system• Replacement of porch light bulb• Providing a ride to a medical appointment• Replacement of smoke detector batteries• Providingaridetodropofforpickupacarforservice• Pick up a prescription at a local pharmacy
During this current social distancing situation, many Car-ing Neighbors volunteers would be glad to pick up groceries or pharmacy items. Please do not hesitate to utilize this service since your neighbors are standing by. We can get through this together! The coordinators of Caring Neighbors are Steve and Cathy Habeger at 410-208-3504 or [email protected].

Due to the crisis we are facing at this time, the Women’s Club has decid-ed to suspend future events. As you are aware, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has declared Maryland as a state of emer-gency in light of the catastrophic healthemergency the world is experiencing. For Maryland, our Gov-ernor has issued the closures of schools, casinos, senior cit-izen activity centers, and restaurants. The Parke Clubhouse and Ocean Pines amenities were shut down by their respective Homeowners Associations. While we intend to reschedule the Fashion Show in the future, until the emergency has been rescinded or revised by additional orders, it is not possible to do so at this time due to the many closures and the fact we are advised to avoid social gatherings. If you desire a refund of your Fashion Show reservation, contact Treasurer Irene Daly at 410-790-2192 or email [email protected]. We sincerely hope you and your family stay well, and please rest assured that we will be in touch when the national emergency has lifted. Sincerely, WCOP President, Donna McCracken

Committee ReportsBudget and FinanceAdvisory Committee By Susan Bosworth, Chair
In light of the current Coronavirus Pan-demic we are now facing, I thought I would take a moment to address some con-cerns we have heard. First, I would like to thank every one of you for your continued patience and support as things are continu-ing to change. We have taken all the neces-sary precautions advised to us by the CDCandstategovernmentofficials.AlthoughtheClubhouseiscur-rently closed, we have placed a “health station” at the Mail Pavilion for your convenience. A few simple things to remember when handling this virus and all others: Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; use hand sanitizer only if soap and water are not available; avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose as much as possible; clean and disinfect frequently-touched ob-jects and surfaces (door handles, cell phones, computer mouse, etc.); keep a distance of about 3-6ft. from others; no large gath-erings of more than 10 people (limit visitors to your home); and avoid non-essential travel. We would strongly encourage homeownerstonotifytheClubhousestaffifyouhavebeenincontact with anyone who has contracted this virus so we can keep everyone safe. We will continue to keep you up to date on when the Club-house will reopen, activities will resume, etc. We ask that ev-eryone continue to have patience as this is unchartered territo-ry for most of us and we will continue to follow the guidelines setinplacebytheCDCandstategovernmentofficials.Ihopethat by the time this article comes out, the COVID-19 will be a thing of the past and we can all resume our normal everyday lives and activities. Please stay safe, smart, and healthy and if there is anything you need, do not hesitate to reach out.
The Budget and Finance Advisory Com-mittee’s meeting was cancelled for March 20, 2020. Committee members reviewed one request for funds. We held an email vote
according to the appropriate procedures, endorsed and allocat-ed funding for this request. Ranyah Hamad, Bill Glock, Jim Driggers, Gary Boggs, Bob Windsor, and I have met and listened to three local insur-ance brokers interested in providing a review of our liability policies and quotes. A decision will be made shortly to select a vendor and renew our policies. The Committee had a working session on March 12 to continue to review the policies and procedures related to our Committee. At this meeting, we revamped the Investment Policy and the Administrative Resolution for Financial Re-view Process and will move on to the next document at our next working session. We are hoping to meet monthly until all are reviewed. The Committee has reviewed January statements and any questions or issues have been addressed by Ranyah. We hope to have February statements by end of week and then we should be current with statement reviews. Due to unforeseen circumstances, all members will be ad-vised as to when the next meeting will take place.

Communications Advisory Committee By Bud Benton, Chair You do not need to read this to learn that we are in a unique situation at this time in our country. Like you, I feel like I am on information overload with media cov-erage of the Coronavirus situation; filter-ing out the important information from the gibberish is tough. It is in this light that I want to make sure that all of you are takingadvantage of the information sources The Parke Association is providing. We have informational video displays in the Mail Pavilion and in several locations in the Clubhouse that are updatedregularlybyourverycapablestaff.Wealsodependheavily on emails when something important happens. I know that some of you have opted out of the email system because you feel that you receive too many emails of no interest, but this might be a time to reconsider that position. Emails are a key element in our communication network and deleting the few that aren’t of interest is a small price to pay to insure you are getting the important ones. Remember, you can always contactthestaffattheClubhousetogetbackontheemaillistif you agree. Be safe and stay healthy! Due to unforeseen circumstances, all Members will be ad-vised as to when the next committee meeting will take place.

I am writing this at the time that the DRC was supposed to be having its March meeting. All Parke committee meetings were canceled for the remainder of March. The DRC had received 12 applications during last month. It was decided to have an emergencyemail vote which is allowed in our Governing Documents under certain circumstances and guidelines. Eleven of the ap-plicationswere approved in thisway.The final applicationneeded a permit from Ocean Pines and could not be approved at this time. Going forward, no one can be sure what the coming months will bring. If there is not a DRC meeting in April, the committee will continue with the email votes on the pending applications at that time. Since the April DRC meeting would be on Tuesday, April 21, all new applications should besubmitted to staff by Friday, April 17. With the Clubhouse beingclosed,youcanfindtheapplicationonourwebsiteun-derFORMSorstaffcangiveyouacopy.Ifyouaresubmittinga not usual application and there will not be a meeting to at-tend, please call AGM Barbara Cordrey or DRC Chair Mar-garet Giacoponello who will try to help with the application. Monthly Bench DRC Tip: The DRC will be conducting the monthly drive-around during the week before our next meet-ing. Please remember to keep the exterior of your home in compliance with the DRC Guidelines. That also means check-ing your home for mold, mildew and dirt and making the nec-essary arrangements to have your home cleaned if needed. With extra time at home, this may be an opportunity to review the DRC Guidelines which can be found on The Parke web-site. The DRC hopes that all of us will continue to be safe and well as we move forward.

Programs has some exciting things planned for this spring. Unfortunately, due to mandated closing of our Clubhouse until further notice, our programs are being put on hold. The bus trip to Udvar Hazy Museum is on hold until May. However, The Parke Program Committee is looking for some-one who might be interested in teaching a kite making class in the near future. A resident suggested this might be of in-terest to other residents. Once learned we could all go “Fly Our Kites.” If interested, contact Program Committee Chair Susann Palamara. Due to unforeseen circumstances, all Members will be ad-vised as to when the next committee meeting will take place. Until then, please stay safe, but live your lives as normally as possible during this world-wide health scare.

lives, the better their physical and mental health at the outset, and four years later. The odds of developing a new disease, depression, chronic pain or a disability dipped as “worthwhile” ratings rose, the researchers found. Of course, people who are in good health, or have high in-comes or more education, may be more likely to see their daily activities as worthwhile. But Steptoe said his team factored in those other key variables -- and there was still a connection between viewing life as meaningful and having better health four years later. Plus, he noted, people with high ratings on the “worthwhile” scale were more likely to make positive lifestyle changes over those four years -- such as starting an exercise routine or eating more fruits and vegetables. James Maddux is a senior scholar with the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being, at George Mason University in Fairfax,Va.Madduxsaidhewasnotsurprisedbythefindings,since they support connections seen in other studies: The more meaning people see in their lives, the healthier they tend to be. Why would that be? Personality enters the picture here, he believes. People who “naturally see the good, even in little day-to-day things,” are likely to take steps that support their physical and mental well-being -- from exercise to eating well to spending quality time with family and friends, Maddux said. But even though personality has a large genetic compo-nent, that doesn’t mean people with a less-sunny disposition aredoomed.Ifyouaregrumpingonthecouch,“thefirststepistogetoffthecouch,”hesaid.Thinkaboutwhatthingsinlife are truly important to you, Maddux suggested -- whether it’s family, friends, a creative activity, volunteering or getting involved in a political issue. And then choose those things overNetflixmarathons. “Try to spend time, every day, doing something that re-flectswhoyouare,”Madduxsaid.
‘Meaningful’ Activities May Mean Healthier Old AgeBy Amy NortonHealthDay Reporter
Latest Senior Health News(HealthDayNews)--Olderadultswhofindmeaningintheirdaily activities may remain in better health as they age, a new study suggests. Researchers found that when middle-aged and older adults felt their days held meaningful activities, they tended to report better health and well-being four years later. Not only were they less likely to develop physical health conditions or chronic pain than other folks, they were also more physically active and less likely to be depressed. The results do not prove that cultivating meaningful activities will make a person healthier, said lead researcher Andrew Steptoe, a professor at University College London, in England. “But,” he said, “We think there is a two-way relationship between our experiences and life seeming worthwhile. People who are socially engaged and healthy may rate their activities as more meaningful, while at the same time this sense of mean-ing may contribute to more engagement, better mental health, less loneliness and so on.” The bottom line, added Steptoe, is that “it seems sensible to think about how to add worthwhile activities to our lives.” Andwhat, exactly, is the definition of “worthwhile”?That’s in the eye of the beholder, he said. The participants in his study were simply asked to rate, on a scale of 1 to 10, the extent to which they felt their daily activities were worthwhile. “The things that bring meaning to people’s lives are hugely variable,” Steptoe said. “It does not have to be a big project. For some people, things like hiking in the countryside, singing in a local choir, or looking after grandchildren will provide a strong sense of living a worthwhile life.”ThefindingswerepublishedonlineJan.7intheProceed-ings of the National Academy of Sciences. They’re based on about 7,300 adults, aged 50 to 90, in the United Kingdom.

10 Hilarious Murphy’s Laws
1. Law of Mechanical Repair - After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you’ll have to go to the restroom.
2. Law of Gravity - Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.
3. Law of Probability - The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
4. Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.
5. Law of Alibi - If you tell the boss you were late for work becauseyouhadaflattire,theverynextmorningyouwillhaveaflattire.
6. Guy’sVariationRider-Ifyouchangequeuesortraffic
lanes, the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now. This also works in supermarkets and shops.
7. Law of Bath - When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.
8. Decree of Close Encounters - The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don’t want to be seen with. This is also the case if you are female and you have gone out with no makeup and wearing your worst clothes and with greasy hair.
9. Murphy’sOfficeLaw-Whenyoutrytoprovetosomeonethat a machine won’t work, it will. This will also happen when you show someone that something on the computer is easy and it doesn’t work.
10. Law of Biomechanics - The severity of the itch is inverse-ly proportional to the reach.

7 Life Hacks for Seniors that Make Everyday Life Easier1. Reach items in the back of the refrigeratorIt can be tough for older adults to reach items in the back of the refrigerator. To make it easier, add a lazy susan (turntable) on top of a shelf so they can rotate it to bring what they need to the front. 2. Add raised dot stickers to key phone and remotecontrol buttonsFor seniors with macular degeneration or other common eye diseases, add raised button stickers to certain phone buttons and TV remote control buttons to help them know which they need to press.
For example, Barbara has macular degeneration, so she added bumps to the “Answer,” “2,” and “8” buttons on her phone to make it easier to use. The same could be done for a TV remote control, adding bumps to the “On/Off” and volume buttonsmakethemeasiertofind. 3. Round out sharp furniture corners to prevent injuryCounters, coffee tables, or nightstands with sharp cornerscould be an injury waiting to happen. Soften those corners by adding stick-on corner guards or moldable putty that dries into rubber. 4. Use rubber bands to make cups easier to gripSimple rubber bands can be wrapped around cups and mugs to make them easier for weak, shaky, or arthritic hands to grip.
This trick could work for thinner objects like toothbrushes or pens – though foam grips that enlarge the handle may be more comfortable. 5. Keep the straw in place while drinkingIf you notice your older adult chasing the straw around their cup when they’re drinking, tape the straw to a clothespin and clip it to the glass. This keeps the straw in place when the cup moves. 6. Prevent soap from falling to the shower floorSoap is notoriously slippery when wet and could easily slip out of your older adult’s hands and fall to the tub or shower floor.This isadangerousfallinghazardaswellas inconve-nient.
To stop this from happening, get a pair of old pantyhose and cut it in half so you have one leg. Put the bar of soap into the foot and tie the top end to the shower head or a handy grab bar. 7. Organize medicationsIt’s often easiest to organize medications with simple, low tech tricks. Despite the many medication tracking apps available, many findthatasimplecalendarstucktotherefrigeratororaprintedspreadsheet / log are simple and accurate ways to track when medicine is taken.
Pill organizers make sure the correct pills are taken at the right times of day and inexpensive plastic bins or shoe boxes keep medicine bottles organized.

The Science CornerToday’s Topic:Antibiotic Resistance II:Attacking The Problem By Bruce Jarvis
communication network, allowing both immune cells and antibiotics to kill these bacteria. To date, none have come to market. A treatment for bacterial infections that predates antibiot-ics came out of WWI: phage therapy. The treatment makes use of the natural enemies of bacteria, bacteriophages or simply phages, viruses that attack and destroy bacteria. Phages are highly selective in that they attack only bacteria, leaving our cellsunaffected.Unlikeantibiotics,whichkillarangeofhelp-ful as well as harmful bacteria, a phage attacks a single strain of bacteria and spares the rest of the resident bacteria. Thus, in principle, the phage could eliminate the infecting bacteria without hurting the “good” bacteria in us. The FDA has yet to approve of the general use of phage therapy, but this treatment has been granted FDA permis-sion for its use in special circumstances. Thomas L. Patter-son, Professor of Psychiatry at UC San Diego, lay in a coma, dying from a bacterial infection resistant to all antibiotics. In a desperate attempt to save his life, his doctors administered an intravenous injection of viral phages that had been shown in the lab to attack the species of his infecting bacteria. He woke up from the coma several days later, and although he required multiple treatments and a 3-month period, he is now fully recovered. Go to: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbA-ZU8FqzX4 to see a video of this remarkable story. A great deal of future effort needs to bemade to bringphage therapy into general use. One challenge, which pertains to antibiotic treatment as well, is to rapidly and accurately de-termine the nature of the infection. If it is bacterial, the bacte-riumneedstobeidentifiedsoastoknowwhichphagevirusor antibiotic to use in treatment. The procedures for doing this (culturing the bacteria in the lab) have not changed in any sig-nificantway in thepasthundredyears,and they takesever-al days. A new procedure that is coming online is to identify the DNA released by the infecting bacterium in the patient’s blood. This can be done in a matter of hours, but at the moment is quite expensive, as much as $3000 per test. Also, biochem-istsaregeneticallyengineeringphagestobemoreeffectiveinphage therapy, arming the phages with abilities to destroy the pathogenicbacteriainseveraldifferentways.
Last month this column focused on the negative role that economics is playing in developing new antibiotics. This col-umn will discuss some novel strategies to deal with the in-creasing problem of antibiotic resistance. It is surprising that most of our antibacterial antibiotics are derived from bacteria. The reason bacteria produce antibi-otics (to which they themselves have developed resistance) is to control the growth of competing bacteria in their environ-ment. A good example of this is Streptococcus mutans, which is responsible for tooth decay. S. mutans produces acids strong enough to dissolve enamel, allowing cavities to develop. S. mutans also produces two known antibiotics that inhibit the growth of non-destructive competing bacteria that might nor-mally suppress the growth of S. mutans, which would suppress tooth decay. But bacteria also cooperate, and this cooperation (a type of social behavior) is an important factor in infections. Many infectious bacteria depend on their collective behavior to make us sick. This behavior is dependent upon chemical signals, some of which are called quorum sensors. Quorum sensors are emitted by the bacteria and occur only when their population reaches a critical level –hence the term quorum sensor. When the bacterial population reaches a critical stage, they release quorum sensors that turn on bacterial genes that produce var-iousproblemsforus,includingtoxinproduction.Adifferenttype of chemical signal allows the bacteria to gage when they lacksufficientnumberstofightoffourimmunecellssenttodestroy them. The bacteria then work together to make what iscalledabiofilm,athickgooeysubstanceinwhichtheycanhide from attacking immune cells. This most often occurs in our lungs.Embedded in thebiofilm, thebacteriaareshield-ed from both immune cells and antibiotics. There are current efforts afoot to develop drugs thatwill disrupt the bacterial
