In 1504, Leonardo da Vinci (1452‐1519) and Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475‐

1564), the two greatest artistic geniuses of the Italian Renaissance, were both

Michelangelo would ever see their share of the ambitious project to its 

completion, the brilliant full‐scale drawings they created of rearing horses and 

muscular soldiers were known in the 16th century as the “school of the world”. 

Notwithstanding the generational difference, the pairing of Leonardo da Vinci and 

Michelangelo might have seemed like the ideal opportunity for intellectual 

collaboration: both were accomplished artists as well as so‐called Universal Men, 

with shared interests across many disciplines, including painting, sculpture, 

architecture and anatomy. On the contrary, it only exacerbated what was 

described by their contemporaries as a mutual, fervent disdain, a relationship that 

was best exemplified by anecdotes of the two artists hurling insults at each other 

in the streets of Florence. 

Leonardo da Vinci vs Michelangelo ‐This lecture will explore how this great rivalry 

between Leonardo and Michelangelo – who were dissimilar in temperament and 

beliefs, as well as the manner in which they worked – contributed to the creation 

of some of the most famous and influential artworks the world has ever seen.  

Friday, August 28th, 1:30 – Living with The Author During the Writing of the 

Novel – Book 1: The Making of the Masjid Morning By Barbara Morris 

Living with The Author Series were written by Richard Morris and his wife, 

Barbara Morris, will present the series to the community. She will discuss the 

books in reverse order of the sequence of their writing because the final novel, 

Masjid Morning, is closer in setting to current times.

No one expects to be murdered in a church. And yet this is 

precisely what happens to two seemingly blameless young 

women in City of Wind, the sixth book of the City of 

Mystery series. 

It is spring, 1891. Scotland Yard's first forensics unit is reeling from a series of 

painful losses, and Detective Trevor Welles has traveled to America to teach the 

San Francisco police the fledgling science of fingerprinting. When a badly 

decomposed body is found in a church belfry, Trevor, along with Rayley Abrams 

and Davy Mabrey, finds himself reluctantly drawn into the case. For once it's 

easier to identify a suspect than the victim and Theo Durant, Sunday School 

superintendent and unrepentant ladies' man, is at the top of everyone's list. The 

police aren't so sure. As Davy puts it "any man who looks that guilty almost has to 

be innocent."  

While the body count rises and the evidence grows, Trevor and his team must 

race to find the truth before a vigilante crowd takes justice into their own hands. 

The men may have science and proximity on their side, but it will take the insight 

of three women back in England ‐ Gerry, Emma, and Leanna ‐ to uncover the dark 

family secrets that first drove the killer to violence. After a final life and death 

struggle on Alcatraz, even a group of forensics experts must admit that the "why" 

of murder is sometimes more revealing than the "how."

Bizarre Bazaar?  Hello Folks: It is hoped that the annual Holiday Bazaar will still take place this year despite Covid‐19. Knowing that it might be canceled or postponed, plans are to proceed, even with the probability of the bazaar being smaller and having to be spread out into areas such as the Clocktower and corridors if we have the Bazaar at all. Of course, the final word belongs to the Administration, but they have told us to go ahead and plan for it. Who knows what November will bring? As of now, the 2020 Holiday Bazaar is scheduled to take place on 

Friday 13 (eek!) November 2020 from 10:00 until 2:00 in the Auditorium?, Clocktower, Corridors, and?.  During the lockdown, some of you have already been busy making things or thinking about what you can do this year. Please let me know if you, or others you know, would like to make items for the Bazaar (crafts, food, etc.) and/or volunteer.  Contact me, Maja Keech, at [email protected], cottage #2004, or tel. x7253. Also, let me know if you will need a table(s).  (Tables for food and miscellaneous will be provided.) 

As always, most proceeds go to the Colington Residents’ Association which needs the money for the various committees, activities, programs, etc. that it supports.  Participants may retain the cost of materials.

Assisted Rehab at Collington Life Care Community

Phone: (301) 541-5017

Hello Everyone,

As COVID-19 and the resulting restrictions persist, so does the difficulty in

maintaining an active lifestyle and functional independence.

It doesn’t take long for a decline in either strength, balance, and/or function with the

decreased activity levels COVID-19 has caused.

No matter what your activity level may be, we can provide therapeutic exercises to

increase or maintain your current functional activity level; here’s how:

• One on one setting adhering to distancing policies while maintaining high

levels of infection control

• All therapy is provided at no cost to you

• Ease of set up: just give us a call and we can schedule your first visit, contact

your physician, and handle all insurance communication.

Our department is here to prevent functional declines and promote aging in place by

keeping Collington residents as safe and independent as possible.

So, if you are concerned with a potential decline in your functional activity level,

fitness level or have been putting off therapy you may need and now have time

available, please contact us at (301) 541-5017 to discuss a potential program for

you.

Sincerely,

Rich Rigali,

Collington Rehab Director

Getting an Absentee Ballot for the November Election

To get an absentee ballot for the November election, you must fill out an application form. The Board of Elections (BOE) will be mailing application forms to all voters, but if you want to get a head start and beat the rush, why not apply for your absentee ballot now. You can apply online or mail in a paper application form.

Applying for an absentee ballot online - To apply for an absentee ballot online, go to https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/OnlineVoterRegistration/ Start by filling in several screens as if you were registering to vote for the very first time. The final screen asks if you want an absentee ballot.

Applying for an absentee ballot by mailing in a paper application form - If you would like a paper application form, call Lorrie at x7371 and she will put one in your mail slot. Mail your completed application form to:

Prince George's County Board of Elections

1100 Mercantile Ln., Ste. 115A Largo, MD 20774

How do you want to receive your ballot? The application form asks how you want to receive your absentee ballot: by U.S. Mail or Internet Delivery. Getting the absentee ballot delivered to you by mail is the better choice. If you choose internet delivery, you may not submit the completed ballot online, but must print the ballot and mail it in (or drop it off). More importantly, a ballot delivered by internet that you print cannot be read by the scanners. A BOE employee will have to copy your ballot onto an official ballot, which adds to the burden on the BOE in counting votes and creates the possibility of transcription errors and potential fraud. Better to trust the USPS to deliver a scannable ballot to you.

Checking to see if your application was received (and later on, if it has been mailed to you) To confirm that your application has been received, go to https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/VoterSearch Key in your Name, Date of Birth, and Zip; the resulting screen shows your voter registration info. Below your info, the last item on the list is "Status of My Mailed-in or Provisional Ballots". Click on that, and, if your application has been received, it will say so. If you are not a computer person and would like that reassurance, call Lorrie x7371 and she will check for you. Later, when ballots are mailed, that section will be updated to show that your ballot has been mailed.

When will you receive your absentee ballot? According to the state Election Calendar, BOEs can't begin to print the ballots until September 3rd. We are unlikely to have them delivered to us before the end of September or early October.

How can you return a voted ballot to the BOE? Voted absentee ballots can be returned to the BOE by mail or placed in secure BOE drop-boxes. When the time comes, arrangements will be in place to help Collingtonians who do not drive.
