OF NOTE...SUMMER RSO HOURS

NEW HOURS START Monday, June 2,

8:30am–2pm.NO BREAK FOR LUNCH.

CLASSESLast month there was a life & death emergency here

on the pickleball court. A resident’s heart stopped and he collapsed. The quick response from residents and the aid of Pennbrooke’s AED saved this man’s life.

Lake County Fire Department will be conducting sev-eral instructional (NON-CERTIFIED) CPR/AED classes at a cost of $10.00 per person. These classes, though not certified, will give you the information and usefulskills you need to start CPR and the use of the AED until emergency help arrives.

Currently we are offering a class on June 12th, 1–4pm in the Activity Center. Space is limited to 12 maximum and requires a reservation to attend on this date.

There are also 2 classes planned for the month of July. Dates for these classes will appear in the July News & Views.You only need to attend one of these three-hour classes.

If you are interested in learning such a valuable tool that could save a family member, your friend/neighbor, or even a competitor at pickleball, please visit the RSO to sign up and pay.

WANTED:SENIOR LADIES SOFTBALL

“WRECK” LEAGUESOFTBALL PLAYERS

A new women’s softball league is forming for se-nior women 55+ years interested in playing in a “fun” centered league in this area starting this fall. The new league is looking for women who have played some softball in the past, are NOT extreme players, who en-joy being active, and who are interested in competitive play with an emphasis on...

“FUN”, Not “WINNING”. If this type of league appeals to

you, and you would like more in-formation, please contact Joanne Cannon at 352-728-4742, Internal mailbox – P6.


This is the time of the year when many of us as garden plot gardeners (and home owners) decide what to do with outside plants.

At the last meeting, members were reminded...if they are going North for the summer, certain preparation is needed to take care of your plots. First, it is important to keep weeds at a minimum to prevent unwanted seeds from germinating in neighboring plots. It is suggested that ground cover, in the form of heavy mil plastic, cover the plot. Second, plant a ground cover to keep weeds at a minimum, or have someone maintain your plot until you return.

Approaching the hot season, the key to success is watering and selection of hardy plants. You can check online withtheAg.OfficeinTavares,SimonSeed, local seed mill in Leesburg, or go online to University of Florida as to what is hardy and will survive the hot summer temps. Other effects of the hot weather are lawn mites and chinch bugs.Wateringiscriticalforfloweringand fruit trees, so try to water early day so that the plant dries off by night-fall to prevent fungal diseases.

Along with preventive maintenance on your garden, home or Pennbrooke garden plot, check your house inside/outside, look at trees for weak limbs and maybe prune. And HURRICANE WEATHER RUNS FROM JUNE—NOVEMBER. And remember the old saying “An Ounce Of Prevention Is A Pound Of Cure.”

When it’s summer time in the South, it’s good to think about and make plans for early fall planting. Again, check with Ag. Extension for sugges-tions. Have an enjoyable summer, stay safe and see you in the fall.—Bob Durst, Garden Club

GARDENING —CHEAPER THAN THERAPY

I saw this on a Tee-Shirt front and laughed, and then I decided that it is a true statement!

I have three gardening recipes to share with you this month.TOMATO BLIGHT BUSTER

To ward off common tomato diseases from your newly transplanted tomato seedlings:3 cups Compost½ cup Powdered Nonfat Milk½ cup Epsom Salts1 Tbsp. Baking Soda

Sprinkle a handful of the mixture into each planting hole. For ad-ditional disease defense, sprinkle a little more powdered milk on top of the soil after planting, and repeat every few weeks throughout the growing season.CONTAINER BOOSTER MIX

When you’re planting vegetables in containers, add this miracle food to a half-and-half mixture of good commercial potting soil and compost. You’ll get a harvest that will put many an in-ground plot to shame!½ cup Epsom Salts¼ cup Coffee Grounds (rinsed clean)1 Tbsp. Instant Tea Granules4 Eggshells (dried and crushed to powder) per 2 gallons of soil

Combine the ingredients thoroughly with your potting mix. Then plant your seeds or set in your transplants, and get ready to enjoy a bountiful harvest!ROBUST ROSE TONIC

This fabulous formula will keep your roses happy, healthy, and churn-ing out blooms galore, all summer long!1 Tbsp. Instant Tea Granules1 Tbsp. Dry Red Wine½ Tbsp. Fish Emulsion1 tsp. Baking Soda1 tsp. Iron (available at garden centers)1 Gallon Warm Water

Mix these ingredients in a bucket, and treat each rosebush to a quart of the mixture every three weeks during the growing season.HAPPY GARDENING!!! – Carolyn Gordon

FUN GARDEN TIPS• Weed it & Reap!• Old gardeners never die, they just spade away.• Grass is just a flower bed in waiting.• If you have a garden and a library, you have every- thing you need.


The Scrappy Ladies, together with the Quilting Sisters Guild of Leesburg, are holding workshops to build up our supply of quilts to donate those in need. We makemany baby and small child sizes as their needs are so great. But we also make them in throw size as there are many older children and adults in need of comfort.

Our groups donated almost 200 quilts in the last 5 months of 2013. We know that we are well on our way to doing as well this year.

Those of us who like variety are in close contact with nurs-ing homes. They even do mending and are in the process of making costumes for a skit. They continue to request lobster bibs and this month we made 38.

For the soldiers we have produced 88 Ditty Bags and 37 skull caps for under helmets.

We would be happy for anyone to inquire about these pro-grams or join us in our endeavors.—Hittie Dawe

TRIVIAL NEWSEven though Trivia Club is on hiatus for the sum-

mer months, we thought it would be fun to keep those cobwebs from forming in all those nooks and crannies. So, for the next few Newsletters, we will give you some questions to ponder. ROUND 1 (worth 1 point each)1. What Canadian city translates as “mount roy-

al”?2. What company always supplied the numerous

devices used by Wile E. Coyote?3. What “lucky” color is traditionally worn by Chi-

nese brides? ROUND 2 (worth 2 points each)1. What term describes the occurrence of two full

moons in a single month?2. What is the middle name of “The Last of the

Mohicans” author James Cooper?3. How much time did Jonah spend in the belly of

the whale?ROUND 3 (worth 3 points each)1. How many acres equal one square mile – 420,

640, or 1080?2. Where were fortune cookies invented – China,

Japan, or the US?3.Whatwasthefirstsportinwhichwomenwere

invited to compete at the Olympics?(Answers on page 10).

SUPPORT POETRY IN OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS

The Pennbrooke Fairways Book Club will again this year purchase poetry books for Oak Park Middle School’s Lan-guage Arts classes. This year’s selection, chosen in collab-oration with the Language Arts Department Chair, Lilly Jen-kins, is What Have You Lost? (Poems selected by Naomi Shihab Nye), pub. by Harper Collins Publishers. This is a collection of poems that explores all kinds of loss.

Each of our Book Club members has pledged to buy at least one book for donation — many buy more —and we also look to friends of Book Club and the Pennbrooke Fair-ways community-at-large to assist us in this very worthwhile project. Each book costs $10.99 before tax, but with my Barnes & Noble discount card, I can obtain the books for $8.44 + .59 tax for a total of $9.03 each. Last year we do-nated 95 Robert Frost poetry books to Oak Park and we’d love to meet or exceed that goal this year!

If you’d like to participate in this effort, you may purchase books at your local bookstore and donate them to me, or simply make a monetary donation to me toward this cause. I will be purchasing books from Barnes & Noble with my dis-count card throughout the summer and fall right through the end of November. Then, we will make our book presentation to Oak Park Middle School’s Principal and Language Arts Chair at our December Book Club luncheon meeting.

We hope you will want to be a part of this very worthwhile projectwhichbenefitsoneofourlocalschools.Manythanksto those of you who participated last year.—Rosella Todd Valentine 352-323-8608

MONEY BACK FOR RECYCLING PAPER PRODUCTS — Guidelines/Rules!

As many of you know, there has been a change in our newspaper recycling company, and many have asked — Why? The company we were using lowered the amount of money they were paying us per ton, and we were having delays in getting paid. The new company pays us more, based on the current market rate. They gave us Two New Larger Blue Cans for Paper Products (located next to the Fitness Cen-ter, and by the Softball Field), and we can put ad-ditional paper items in the cans (aka bins, containers, or dumpsters).

We have received over $8,000 for recycling our newspapers/magazines since mid-2007. This mon-ey supports our clubs and groups for supplies and funds. If more residents would participate, and with the additional paper items now recyclable, we would allbenefit!AlistofitemstoPut in the Cans & Do Not Put in the Cans is below.

Con artists can be clever; many can be foiled by knowledgeable – and equally canny – consumers. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers the following tips about ways to avoid being scammed. These suggestions are from an article in the Villages Daily Sun newspaper that appeared in an article for Seniors vs. Crime.• Keep in mind that wiring money is like sending cash: it’s gone,

you can’t get it back!• Don’t send money to someone you don’t know!• Don’trespondtomessagesthataskforyourpersonalorfinancial

information, whether the message comes as an e-mail, a phone call, a text message, or an ad!

• Don’t play a foreign lottery – it is illegal to play foreign lotteries in the United States of America!

• Don’t agree to deposit a check from someone you don’t know and then wire money back, no matter how convincing the story!

• Read your bills and monthly statements regularly – online and in paper form!

• In the wake of a natural disaster or another crisis, give to estab-lished charities rather than to one that seems to have sprung up overnight!

• Talk to your doctor before buying health products or signing up for medical treatments. Buy prescription drugs only from licensed U.S. pharmacies!

Answers to Questions on Pg. 5

• Remember there is no such thing as a sure thing (or free lunch). If someone contacts you promoting low-risk, high return investments opportunities, RUN, DON’T WALK away and report them to the FTC!

• Know where an offer comes from and who you’re dealing with. Get physical address and phone num-ber and check with the Better Busi-ness Bureau at bbb.org or with Se-niors vs. Crime!SENIORS VS. CRIME OFFICE

On Saturday, May 10th twenty-one of the Top-lessClub’s flashy convertibles left Pennbrookeand headed for Weeki Wachee, where our host couple for the month, Ralph & Gloria Spray had made arrangements for our group at the rustic but beautiful Bayport Inn. Our route took us over some of Florida’s most picturesque oak-lined roadways to the Inn, which sits on the Gulf’s tidal basin marsh near Bayport. The Inn was well pre-pared for our 42 club members, having reserved space for us on the large, covered, outside deck overlooking the water and marsh.

We enjoyed yet another very festive gathering with our friends and neighbors, lots of laughs, and also welcomed 8 new members to the club, bringing the total number of convertibles on our roster to 45. The food was excellent and a great time was had by all! After our luncheon,some of our members toured the Weeki Wachee

Springs Park and watched the famous mer-maids perform, while others drove out to the Bayport beach area and Pine Island to see the sights of those areas.

The Topless Club is open to all Pennbrooke residents who own a convertible and enjoy so-cializing monthly with their friends and neigh-bors. Our outings are on either the 1st or 2nd Saturday of each month, and we travel togeth-er in a caravan to fun and interesting places to enjoy the camaraderie, socializing, and a deli-cious lunch together. Joining is easy; simplysend an e-mail to [email protected] to be added to our e-mail distribution list and receive announcements of future outings, or call Russ & Barbara at 787-7796. Our next outing is on June 7th, destination to be an-nounced.—Russ Gloor

Message from Robbie Greetings to All —

Hope you are all enjoying beautiful weather no matter where you may be. Spring has arrived in Pennbrooke and summer is just around the corner.

For those of you that are leaving for your summer destinations please remember to make arrange-ments to have someone take care of your property while you are gone. With all of the we’ve been get-ting (and rainy season isn’t even here yet), weeds will be growing extra quickly, as will your shrubs and hedges. If you need someone to take care of your yard and don’t know who to call, please call my of-ficeor theRSO.Theyhavenamesof reliable peo-ple to do yard work. I don’t like sending you a let-ter that your house /yard isn’t in compliance with our rules any more than you like receiving one!!NEW PHOA TEAM MEMBER:

If you have been to the RSO within the last cou-ple of weeks, you may have seen a new face. The-resa Wofford has joined the PHOA team and will be working in the RSO — replacing Joan Ferguson.

Joan and her husband Jim are moving to North Carolina to be closer to their children and grandchil-dren. I know you join me in wishing Joan and Jim well in their move and will make Theresa feel welcome.UPDATES ON PROJECTS:

I have a couple of updates on two projects that are just getting started, and one that should be starting sometime this summer. The two that are underway are:• Maintenance Service and Storage Facility —

The permits have been obtained by the contractor and site work has begun. The three buildings are constructed and will be delivered after the concrete slabs are poured and cured. Anticipated completion time is mid-June. The maintenance crew is excited about having the storage facilities and thanks you all for your support in approving spending the funds to build the facility.

• Fitness Center Flooring Replacement & New Equipment — Bids have been received and a company selected (Fitnessmith) to replace the carpet in the Fitness Center and replace some of the outdated equipment. The carpet will be re-placedwithrubberflooring,whichistypicallyusedingymsandfitnesscenters.Wewillalsobeget-ting two new rowing machines, a new UBE (upper body exerciser), a new abdominal / low back ma-chine. We have also had the padding replaced on many of the other machines. In addition, we will be paintingtheinteriorofthefitnesscenter.WorkwilltentativelystartthefirstpartofJuneandshouldtakefivedaystocomplete.TheFitnessCenterwillbe closed during the renovations and your coop-eration and understanding is greatly appreciated.

• Tennis & Pickball Court Improvements — The project that we are currently getting bids on is for the tennis /pickleball courts. We have bids from two companies and a third company has inspect-ed the courts and I’m waiting to get their proposal. These companies are submitting one bid to resur-face the courts and a separate bid to reconstruct the courts. Additionally, we will be increasing the number of pickleball courts to six to accommodate the volume of play we are having on them. When I receive the third proposal, all of the bids will be re-viewed by the Maintenance Committee and they will bring forth a recommendation to the Board of Directorsforfinalapproval.Iamhopingtohavethe project completed by October at the latest. In honor of Father’s Day, my quote for the month

is from comedian Red Buttons:"Never raise your hand to your child …

It leaves your groin unprotected.”Until next month keep smiling.

—Robbie (Roberta Dill, Property Manager)


First, I want to thank all of you who extend-ed your thoughts and prayers for the success of my total hip replacement. The surgery on May 6 went well and I am now rehabbing at home.Myhusband,Tom,hasbeena terrificcaregiver for me.Terriisdoingafinejobfillinginforme;please

continue to work with her as needed for events and activities.

Hopefully by the July newsletter, I will be ready to return to Pennbrooke.

I will continue to work with Terri from my home computer and by telephone to ensure all continues to run smoothly during my absence.

I am looking forward to a total recovery! Debbie (Debbie Aery, Activities Director)
