New resident? No, just the beautiful and proud 70+ pound “guest” of the recent pig roast put on by the Programs Committee. Over 100 folks attended this outstanding event.
In an effort to foster our Board’s goal of greater transpar-ency, the members of the Board have elected to change The Parke Bench “President’s Corner” to “The Board’s Corner.” This will allow each member of the Board to express his or her thoughts and ideas as well as those of the president. On July 6, The Parke held a forum at the Clubhouse for the 11 candidates running for three positions on the Ocean Pines Board of Directors. All of the 11 candidates spoke on their reasons for being candidates and answered several pre-set questions. Each candidate presented himself/herself in a clear and professional manner which will enable voters to make more informed candidate choices. The purpose of this introduction is to highlight comments made by several of these candidates who openly stated that “if you want to know how an HOA is successfully run, you need only to look at The Parke HOA over the years.” Naturally, we are all pleased by these comments, but the point that I want to stress regarding our fine reputation, is “How did this hap-pen?”
Volunteers!! Yes, we are fortunate to have had over the years many smart, dedicated and very active volunteers to serve as mem-bers of our advisory committees and their subcommittees, ad hoc committees, and Board task forces. The professional staff and the Board of Directors depend upon these groups to pro-vide the “engine” that powers The Parke down the right track. They “sweat the details” providing appropriate advice and recommendations necessary to “grow The Parke.” Accordingly, I wish to recognize those Parke members who have served in various capacities over the years and to give them a “great big Thank You” for their many contributions in “making The Parke more than a Community, but a lifestyle.”

Where In The World Is The Parke Bench?
Invitation to Join the Women’s Club of Ocean Pines The Women’s Club will meet on Thursday, September 1, from 10am-12 noon in the Assateague Room of the Ocean Pines Community Center. This is the first meeting of our new membership year at which time our new 2016-2018 officers will be installed. Light refreshments will be served and there is an opportunity to participate in a 50/50 raffle. The Women’s Club membership dues are $10.00 per year. Join us on the first Thursday of the month for speakers, lunch-eons, auctions, raffles, and fundraisers. In May, our organiza-tion gives back to the community with awarding scholarships to high school seniors and donations to organizations that sup-port Ocean Pines residents.
The Art League of Ocean City (ALOC) is hosting its 12th
Annual Sand Castle Home Tour on September 22 and 23. The self-guided home tour of ten beautiful homes in the Ocean City area is held from 9:30am-4pm each day. There is always a great variety of homes from ocean front to bayside, family homes to penthouses and beach retreats. The cost of the event is $30 per person and tickets may be purchased by calling the ALOC at 410-524-9433. The ALOC is looking for organizations to ask their mem-bers to volunteer as docents on either day of the tour. There are two shifts: 9:00am-12:30pm and 12:30-4:00pm. They are looking for a minimum of six volunteers from an organization. The volunteers receive a $10 discount on the home tour ticket. A sign will be displayed in each home noting the organization that is volunteering. This is a great opportunity for The Parke to support the arts, whether as a group of our residents or as a Red Hats group. If you would like to volunteer with others, join us; a signup sheet is at the Clubhouse. Signup is requested NLT August 20. If questions, call Diane McGraw at 410-208-2569.
Worcester County Veterans Memorial Golf Tournament The Veterans Memorial Foundation will be holding its 10th annual golf tournament on Wednesday, September 7, at the Ocean Pines Golf and Coun-try Club. This tournament is the major fundraiser in support of the Foundation’s Educational Outreach Program. Through the cooperative efforts of the Worcester County Board of Edu-cation and the Worcester County Veterans Foundation, every 5th grade student in Worcester County participates in a field trip to the Memorial. Volunteer docents teach the children about the sacrifices of our veterans, the founding of each branch of service, and flag etiquette. The students also tour the Victory Path which has 14 stations with interpretive signs corresponding to specific conflicts in which the United States participated. The golf tournament schedule includes an 11am check-in with practice range open and a 12 o’clock shotgun start – Cap-tain’s Choice Scramble. The cost is $90 per player which in-cludes: greens fees with cart and range balls, a grab and go lunch, door prize entry, dinner buffet at the Ocean Pines Yacht Club, and numerous awards and prizes. There will be men’s, ladies’ and mixed teams. Sponsorships are available from $100 to $2,000. We also would appreciate gifts and gift certificates for our auction, and prizes for our golfers. We sincerely hope you will support this event. For further information, contact Joe Pantone at 410-208-1366 or Marie Gilmore at 410-726-2881.

Committee ReportsBudget and Finance Committee By Diane McGraw, Chair
Where In The World Is The Parke Bench?
Budget and Finance is seeking a resident to join their Committee as an al-ternate member. Our meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday (some exceptions) of the month at 9:30am and are “open” to all residents. June 2016 financials were reviewed at our July 21 meeting. All committeesand subcommittees have been asked to submit their 2017 budget requests NLT August 5. Requests are to be submitted in a specified format and the Board also asks that requests be listed in priority order.
Communications Advisory Committee By Pat Addy, Chair
The Communications Advisory Com-mittee (CAC) would like to extend kudos to those who attended the Ocean Pines Meet the Candidates Forum on July 6. In fact, some of the candidates commented that “If you want to see how an HOA should run, you should just look at The Parke.” The program gave residents a chance to know who they would like to elect to represent the community and who they think would be a good choice to manage OPA’s finances. Remember, The Parke is part of OPA and decisions their board makes affect our community. There are 11 candidates running for three posi-tions, so don’t forget to vote. Ballots have to be returned by August 11. At our July CAC meeting, our focus was on three major areas: The Parke Directory, The Parke Website, and the 2017 budget. The end is in sight in each of these three areas. Prob-ably, the most exciting prospect is the launching of the new Parke website. After approximately four years of work and the exhaustive efforts of two website subcommittees, we hope to be in a position to submit a contract for approval shortly. We anticipate that the new website will be user-friendly and com-patible with smart phones and tablets. Continued on the next page
As you know, there are five hundred three (503) homes here in The Parke. But did you know that 153 homes have resold? There were no resales in 2010, only three in 2011, then 25 in 2012, jumping to 40 in 2013, and then slowly came down to 37 in 2014, 35 in 2015, and only 13 so far in 2016. I am not sure how these resales compare to other communities in the Ocean City/Delmarva area, but I do know one thing, The Parke takes great care to welcome new residents into the community! The Welcome Committee presented their work and history of the committee to the Board and residents in attendance at the June Board meeting. They really go out of their way to be a resource to all new owners and renters in The Parke to insure that new residents are able to merge into The Parke lifestyle and meet others with a warm welcome. As the 2016 year is proving to be a slower resale year than recent years past, there have been a few major issues that are making this year’s resales stand out from the rest. Not to say that mistakes didn’t happen before, but this year has proven to be quite challenging for Association business-related items in a resale. Unfortunately, certain important aspects of the house settlements did not occur, which put me and the Association Staff at a disadvantage when welcoming new residents to the community. Two resales within two weeks of each other had errors on the fees that were to be collected from the buyers that made the Staff’s warm welcome very unpleasant. Trust me; there really is no way to provide a warm welcome when you have that type of conversation with new residents. Because of these issues, I am working with Covenants Committee to produce a procedure to insure a smooth resale experience for you (the seller) and the buyer. I am assum-ing that many of you are completely unaware that there are requirements that Parke residents must follow when selling their homes. These are explained in The Parke at Ocean Pines Community Association, Inc., Initial Community Codes. Section 3(b), Leasing and Transfers, states “Prior to the sale, conveyance or transfer of any Living Unit to any person, the Owner shall notify the Board of Directors in writing of the name and address of the person whom the proposed sale, conveyance or transfer is to be made and provide to it such other information as the Board of Directors may reasonably require.” It goes on to state a few more requirements as well. (You can find this document on the website under Govern-ing Documents or contact the Association Staff for a copy). To my knowledge, this requirement has never been en-forced and, looking at the resale activity, I can understand why it was not, due to the fact that only in the past four years has there been any consistent resale activity. I fully under-stand that making a transition out of The Parke can be a stress-ful experience, which is why I will work with the Covenants Committee to insure that fulfilling the Community Codes re-quirement is easy for you and will not cause you an additional burden. As a result, you will know that you not only sold your house to someone else, but you were able to welcome someone
else into the lifestyle of The Parke to enjoy as much as you did. Stay tuned to the development of the resale procedure by attending the Covenants Committee meeting scheduled for August 3 at 9am in the Clubhouse card room. Once the Com-mittee has agreed upon the process, it will make a recommen-dation to the Board for review. Prior to the Board passing a motion to approve it, the procedure will go out to all residents for review and comment.

Design Review Committee By Linda Olsen, Chair
Operations Committee By Bill Glock, Chair
Covenants Committee By Cindy Ostrowski, Chair
The Covenants Committee met on July 6. At that time we passed a mo-tion to recommend the BOD approve a revision to Article 6.1, Nomination and Election of Directors. This change will require a referendum vote at the 2017 Annual Meeting. We also worked on 2017 Budget Requests, including: legal services needed when documents such as by-laws are revised and possible education and training for committee members. Over the next month or so, we will be completing the updated Covenants Committee tri-fold brochure which is used to welcome and inform new Parke residents. Covenants is also following the GM’s establishing an internal procedure requiring homeowners to complete a document when they list their home for sale. The next Covenants Committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 3, at 9am. As always, we welcome all residents to attend.
The summer is moving right along and before you know it, September will be here. How quickly time flies! We have been talking about the mold inspection for months now and our first go-round isbehind us already. We were disappointed to find 80-some homes with visible mold this year. After the first letters go out as a result of this first inspection, affected residents will have 30 days to remedy the situation. After those 30 days, we will do a second drive-around inspection to see who is left on the list. Slowly, but surely, we are expecting all of these homes to be washed and squeaky clean before we make our last round of inspections. As you know any homes that are left unwashed at the end of our tours and after our letters reminding you to
comply with our guidelines have been sent, the remaininglist will be turned over to Covenants for further considera-tion. Please don’t be in this group; get your home washed and join your neighbors in helping to keep The Parke a beauti-ful place to live. We all want to be proud of our community. In addition to our mold activity, we are currently in the process of updating our guidelines. It is a lengthy process but a necessary one. Some of our guidelines are not easy to under-stand and some are a little bit outdated since the community has aged a little since those first years under the control of the developer. We plan to present the proposed revision to the Board very soon. At some point it will come to all of you for comments. We will look forward to your review and comments at that time or, better still, call us now or come to our meetings any time to ask questions, make comments or suggestions, and help us do our job. Better yet, volunteer. Some committees are currently looking for members and very soon all committees will be looking for new members for the new year. You may want to consider lending us your timeand talents.
Your Operations Committee has been hard at work on multiple projects. A few completed projects include the comple-tion of the cleanup on Outlet Lot JJ. This project involved a drainage area that hadbecome completely overgrown. It had never been identified as an Association responsibility and it took a resident bringing it to the Committee’s notice to get the wheels turning. This location will be added to our annual contract with Coastal Tributaries. Additionally, the Clubhouse roof cupolas repair, the bench updating, and the clearing brush back project to the signs along common area walkways are all completed. Projects that are now underway include the repair to the Chatham fence and the pool dehumidifier replacement. Our general manager will be posting an advisory as to the pool availability during the dehumidifier replacement. One safety issue was brought to the attention of the Com-mittee during our recent meeting. It appears that a few usersof the Fitness Center treadmills are leaving the equipment still operating while they may step off for a break. This is a dan-gerous practice and contradicts the equipment manufacturer’s safety regulations as stated in the owner’s manual. We have already had one resident injured while doing this. If you are going to step off the machine, be sure that it has stopped!! Currently, residents are utilizing The Annapolis Court pier for crabbing with crab pots. The State of Maryland has very strict rules and regulations pertaining to this practice. The Committee has formulated and proposed a document to ad-dress this issue to the Board of Directors.

Committee Reports Continued from Page 5 The last directory The Parke published was in 2014 and a new one is really needed. The process is winding down and you may anticipate receiving a mailing regarding your infor-mation sometime in September. The 2017 CAC draft budget (covering such items as the directory, The Bench and the website) is ready for submis-sion. I am happy to report that the CAC once again was within budget in 2016. There is no Java for August, so see you in September. En-joy the sun and don’t forget to use sunscreen.

Programs Advisory Committee By Susann Palamara, Chair
We’ve had another great month. The Parke Pig Roast drew 108 residents who en-joyed pork, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, chips, and dessert and visiting with their neighbors. We held another movie and a pizza night as well. Upcoming events include a Crab Feast on August 13. Cost is $18 per person for crab eaters and $6 per person for chick-en-only eaters. Also, Trivia Night on August 21 and a concert on the Clubhouse deck by “Still Rockin” on August 28. Please look soon for fliers and signup sheets for these events. We don’t want anyone to be left out but, for obvious reasons, some events must be limited in numbers. For the concert on August 28, bring $5 to participate in a 50/50 raffle. Half will go to the band and the other will go to the winner. On Labor Day weekend, we’ll carpool to a Shorebirds game, eat hamburgers and hot dogs on one of the decks, and watch fireworks. Save the date: September 3. Also in September we’ll have a bonfire at Assateague Na-tional Park.
Over the Garden Gate By Mike Simcock I took over as the Landscape Coordinator from Bob Os-trowski, when Bob was elected to the Board. Bob did a great job coordinating with Moore Landscaping and Coastal Tribu-taries (ponds and trails). It seems like landscaping issues gen-erate many calls to the GM every month. The goal of this column is to provide you with information regarding the Oper-ation Committee’s efforts to maintain and enhance our beauti-ful Parke environment. The Operations Committee is looking for input from residents on landscaping questions, problems or suggestions. A multi-year landscape plan for common areas, entrance and intersection plantings, trails, ponds, and fences is going to be updated this year. There have been a number of plans created in the past and a new one is needed to continue keeping The Parke up to the standards that have been in place for the last 15 years. Pruning The Parke common and residential areas is a topic of interest these days. Moore Landscaping is currently pruning trees and shrubs on common areas and resident yards. Resi-dents can choose to have their plants pruned or get on the “Do Not Prune” list at the Clubhouse. Residents can also choose which plants will be trimmed by placing a bright ribbon or yel-low caution tape (from the Clubhouse staff) on the plants. The Moore crew will knock on your door and ask how you would like the plant(s) trimmed. If residents choose to do their own pruning, then foun-dation plants are traditionally trimmed to the bottom level of the front and side windows. I placed yellow and red caution tape on my Limelight hydrangeas and fig tree so they are not pruned at this time. I will prune them later in the fall. Grass is trimmed every week during the growing season and residents with wet areas should notify the GM so that Moore crews can address with the right equipment. Since many of us live on or close to wetland areas, soggy grass can be a problem after a recent or heavy rainstorm. Any other topic suggestions can be sent to me by email at [email protected].
Mowing During Dry Weather The general manager (GM) will communicate with The Moore Companies each week to determine if the weath-er will support mowing each week, or if weeks should be skipped. However, please note that the GM has to consider both those who have irrigation and those who do not and make it work for everyone. Therefore, if you are irrigating and you receive notice through Parke Happenings that Moore will not mow, it is best to reduce your watering to prevent a lot of growth during that week so that the long clippings of the next mow do not pile on top of your grass looking unattractive. As for those who do not have irrigation, please apply water to your yards to assist in the weeks that Moore will mow. Note that the brown appearance of grass does not indicate that the grass is dead; it is simply in a dormant stage, reserv-ing its energy in the roots. However, it is important that the grass receive some water while in the dormant stage to keep the grass from dying. Moore does not change the setting of its mowers to cut grass shorter from mow to mow; the depth remains the same. Therefore, if your grass is brown and has not grown, it is not cut any shorter than the length is was cut the last time. Please do not contact Moore Companies and ask them to skip your yard until further notice. You must commu-nicate all needs through the Parke Staff. This is only so that the GM can properly manage the contract and communication between the owners’ needs and the contract. This will allow her to make recommendations/changes to the contract terms to the Board of Directors. Your cooperation is greatly appreci-ated!

The Crimson Parkettes enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Frankford Diner on July 12. The food was delicious and well priced. Donna McCracken won the first door prize of a hanging flower arrangement. Judy Thost won the sec-ond flower arrangement. All 17 Red Hat sisters enjoyed the afternoon. Several sisters then played mah jongg. Lin Dugan organized the afternoon.
The Red cHatters enjoyed a wine-pairing luncheon put on by the OPWC at Harrison’s Harbor Watch. Good food, good friends and plenty of good wine made for a very jolly time!
The Red cHatters recently visited the Angler for dinner and a cruise.

Safety Tip Last year, there were over 11,000 escalator-related injuries reported in the United States. Most of these injuries occur from falls, with the remaining resulting when hands, feet, or shoes become entrapped in the mechanism. To be safe, always stand in the center of the step, face forward, and use the hand-rail. Children should not be allowed to sit or play on the step. If there is an emergency, you will usually find an emergency shutoff button at either end of the escalator.

With faster computers, it becomes possible to design more powerful sensors and artificial-intel-ligence (A.I.) systems. With better sensors, we can develop sophisticated medical devices, and with A.I., we can develop digital doctors. Yes, I am talking about applications that can diagnose our medical condition and prescribe remedies. In 2015, smartphone-connected medical devices came into the mainstream. Apple released a watch that can keep track of vital signs, activity, and lifestyles. Through its free Research Kit app, Apple provided the ability to monitor the use of medicines and their efficacy. Microsoft, IBM, Sam-sung, and Google are developing sensors and A.I.-based tools to do the work of doctors. These technologies are expensive and geared for the developed world; but companies in China, India, and Africa are working on inexpensive versions. The sensors that these devices use and the computing and storage that A.I. systems need cost very little. Previous generations of medical advances were for the rich; now all can benefit.

This is the first part of a three-part article, about the explo-sion of knowledge and technology, and their effects on us. To the average person, it may seem that the biggest tech-nology advances of 2015 were larger smartphone screens, but a lot more happened than that. We haven’t seen anything of this magnitude since the invention of the printing press in the 1400s. 1. The Internet and knowledge: In the developed world, we have become used to having devices that connect and inform us and provide services, but the developing world has largely been in the dark. As of 2015, however, nearly half of China’s population and a fifth of India’s population have gained Inter-net connectivity. India now has more Internet users than the U.S., and China has twice as many. Smartphones will cost less than $50 by 2020. By then, Fa-cebook, Google, OneWeb, and SpaceX will blanket the Earth with inexpensive Internet access through drones, balloons, and microsatellites. This means that we will see another three bil-lion people come online. Never before has all of humanity been connected in this way. This will be particularly transformative for the developing world. Knowledge has always been a privilege of the rich; ty-rants rule by keeping their populations ignorant. Soon, every-one, everywhere, will have access to the ocean of knowledge on the Internet. Social media will enable billions of people to share their experiences and help one another. Workers in the villages of Africa will be able to offer digital services to Sili-con Valley. Farmers will be able to learn how to improve crop yields; artisans will gain access to global markets; and econo-mies based on smartphone apps will flourish everywhere.

Did You Know: Extreme WeatherThe hottest temperature ever recorded was 134 degrees F (56.7 degrees C) in Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, CA, on July 10, 1913.
The coldest temperature ever recorded was -128.6 degrees F (-89.6 degrees C) at Vostok Station, Antarctica.
Summer does not always officially start on June 21st. In 1896, summer began on June 20th. This also occurred in 2016. Sum-mer began on June 22nd in 1975 and will repeat this variation again in 2203.
Every year, almost 200 people die in the U.S. due to excessive heat.
There is no official definition of a heat wave.
The most rainfall in one minute occurred in Unionville, Mary-land, where on July 4, 1956, 1.22 inches (31.2 millimeters) of rain fell in one minute.
The largest hailstone ever officially measured was in Aurora, Nebraska, and measured 7.0 inches (17.8 cm) in diameter.
Only two U.S. states have record highs no greater than 100 degrees. They are Alaska and Hawaii.
Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, holds the records for both the most windy U.S. city, with an average wind speed of 35.3 mph (57 kph) and the maximum recorded wind speed of 231 mph (372 kph).
Disaster Preparedness for Seniors Being prepared in the event of a disaster is important for everyone. Seniors may need to take some extra precau-tions to ensure that they are safe and ready. Review these guidelines now to ensure that you are ready in the event of an emergency.
• Realize that you may be on your own for a period of time. Don’t count on getting the assistance of others, as least not right away.
• Go over what resources you use on a daily basis. Come up with alternatives if you are unable to access them.
• Keep an emergency kit available. This should include water, food, a battery-powered radio, extra batteries, flash-light, first aid kit, dust mask, can opener, and a cell phone.
• Keep a good supply of prescription medication. Don’t let your supplies get too low before refilling them. If you wear glasses, place an extra pair in your emergency kit. Keep extra batteries for hearing aids as well.
• If you have a pet, keep extra supplies for him as well. This includes a supply of food and extra water.
• Keep a list of phone numbers of local emergency services and your family and friends. Place a copy of this list in your emergency kit.

On The Lighter SideA father passing by his son’s bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then, he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, ‘Dad’. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:
“Dear Dad, It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with you and mom.
I’ve found real passion with Stacy. She is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercings, tat-toos, her tight motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.
But it’s not only the passion, Dad. She’s pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.
Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn’t re-ally hurt anyone. We’ll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.
In the meantime, we’ll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so that Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!
Don’t worry Dad, I’m 15 and I know how to take care of my-self. Someday, I’m sure we’ll be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren.
With love, Your son, Joshua.
P.S . Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at Jason’s house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that’s on the kitchen table. Call when it is safe for me to come home!”

Healthy Living Tip As we age, our joints can often feel the pressure. Joint fatigue and injury can lead to conditions such as osteoarthritis. To keep your joints healthy, get at least 30 minutes of moder-ate physical activity at least three days a week. Research has shown that this level of activity decreases pain, improves func-tion, and delays disability. You should also watch your weight, as increasing weight can cause an increase in the prevalence of arthritis. Researchers have found that a loss of just 11 pounds can help prevent new osteoarthritis. Finally, if you are having aching or pain in your joints, see your doctor. Early diagnosis and management is important.
Home Tip While you may only associate insulation in your walls and attic with wintery weather, inadequate insulation can cause your home to be warmer in the summer as well. Heat from the outside can be more easily transferred into your home if your home is not well weatherized. If your insulation is lacking, adding to it can reduce the loss of air conditioned air and can block heat from entering your living spaces, increasing your comfort and saving you money.

use –they are readily available over the counter in pharmacies (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW1T_RP-1rQ). Why not simply generate new antibiotics? Twenty years ago, there were 18 major pharmaceutical companies develop-ing new antibiotics; today there are 4. Why? It all comes down to money. It takes over a billion dollars to discover, de-velop, and bring a new drug to market today. Companies need to recover that money and continue to make a profit if they are to have the resources to develop new drugs (and stay in business). Listen to the pharmaceutical ads today. Ever hear something like, “Ask your doctor if penicillin G is right for you?” No, and you won’t. Antibiotics are not big moneymak-ers for companies because, typically, they are taken only for a short period of time. The pharmaceutical business wants you to buy their product for long periods of time (preferably un-til you’re dead), such as drugs that lower cholesterol, control diabetes, anti-inflammatories, heart medicines, etc. To invest in the development drugs that not only will not be used for long periods of time, but within a relatively short time will not be effective is not an attractive prospect for a pharmaceu-tical company. In 2011, the world’s largest pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, discontinued its research efforts in antibiotic development, although small and medium-sized pharmaceuti-cal companies are still active in antibiotic drug research. One reads in the paper today of cases where an “antibiotic of last resort” is ineffective. There are several such antibi-otics (vancomycin and colistin are the most common ones), but these potent antibiotics often have serious side effects and therefore are used sparingly. We have few of these “last re-sort” antibiotics; thus, we need to develop strategies to combat bacterial infections apart from antibiotic use. Next month, we will take up this issue.
Microorganisms do not produce antibiotics for our ben-efit; they make them for their own purposes. They produce antibiotics in order to reduce competition from other micro-organisms that are sensitive to the antibiotics. However, the antibiotic-producing organisms must be resistant to the anti-biotics they produce, and their competitors also can evolve resistance in order to survive. Bacteria have two properties that facilitate their ability to develop antibiotic resistance. First, they reproduce at an alarming rate. Provided sufficient nutrients and lack of com-petition/predators, the exponential growth of bacteria would soon overwhelm all of the rest of life on this earth. The ability to rapidly reproduce allows bacteria plenty of opportunity to evolve resistance to antibiotics. The second property is the ability of bacteria to exchange genetic information between themselves, even between different species of bacteria. It is this second property that is so dangerous since most resistance can be traced to a single gene that can be passed around in the bacterial community. A critical issue facing us today is the overuse of antibiot-ics. Because bacteria reproduce so quickly, exposure to anti-biotics, from any source, tends to increase the population of bacteria that has acquired antibiotic resistance through genetic mutations. Forty-five percent of antibiotics in this country are prescribed for conditions for which they are useless. You might blame the doctors, but they are under pressure from their patients who demand “some pill” to cure their condition which in nearly half the cases are due to viruses. In addition, many are prescribed antibiotics before test results confirm their util-ity with the notion that it is better to be safe than sorry –one can always discontinue (or change the prescription) if the test results indicate that the prescribed antibiotic is inappropriate. Although one factor here in the US is the overuse of pre-scribed antibiotics (antibiotics are ineffective against viral in-fections, e.g. the common cold), there are even more serious abuses: widespread use of antibiotics given to farm animals (makes them grow faster and increase their weight –more about this next month) and in third world countries (particu-larly India) where there is little or no oversight of antibiotic
