COMING IN JUNEFAIRWAY MEWS GIANT YARD SALE

The 11th Fairway Mews Giant Yard Sale will be held on Saturday June 9, from 9 AM to 1 PM in the maintenance yard. Rain date is June 16.

Don’t miss this convenient opportunity to find your unwanted treasures a new home. Just $10 will buy an 8x8 foot space. You must provide your own tables and chairs. You are also responsible for removing all unsold items at the end of the sale.

There are only 67 spaces available and they go quickly, so reserve your spot soon! In order to be fair to all, special requests over the telephone will not be accepted. Please put those requests on the reservation form. Copies are available in the back of this issue, in the Pro Shop annex or in the racks in the office.

Please mark Saturday, June 9 on your calendar, whether you are a seller or a shopper. Ads are placed in the Coast Star and the Asbury Park Press, both print and online, so this event is well attended by the public. It’s a fun day for everyone and a good chance to meet your neighbors.

VOLUNTEERS ARE STILL NEEDED TO HELP SETUP ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON JUNE 8 FROM 4-6:30.

For further information, contact Jim or Eleanor Jordan at 732-974-1593.

JUNE 9 YARD SALE DONATION TABLE

With the 11th Mews Giant Yard Sale in the not-too-distant future, you may want to check your condo for items you wish to “share” with a new owner. If that turns into a sizable collection, you will probably wish to rent a space and go into business for yourself on Saturday, June 9 in the maintenance yard.

BUT, should you have too few “gems” for that approach, please consider a donation to the Yesterday’s Best Thrift Shop table. The proceeds from this table will go to the Jersey Shore University Medical Center in the form of scholarships for hospital employees.

If you choose to donate your item(s), call Jo Tullat 732-974-6829 no later than May 31. A time and place can be arranged for you to drop off your item(s).

Whether or not you make a donation, if you would be able to spend an hour or two assisting at the donation table, we would be most grateful for that as well.

TRAVELS WITH IRENEby Irene McLaughlin

Here it is April and I shall be a year older. My, oh my how time flies! Naturally, living here in the Mews makes time go even faster. You certainly can’t grow cobwebs with all the many activities and events there are to choose from.

My favorite activity is the Atlantic City bus trip that occurs on the second Monday of each month. As usual, all are welcome. The cost is $40 but you get a chit good for $30 upon arrival. We leave at 9 AM and return to the Mews by 6 PM.

Spring is a great season to be at that beautiful boardwalk and people watch, after you win big at the slots, roulette, whatever! So join the regulars on our next trip. It’s a great way to meet and greet your neighbors and fellow Mewsites. Try us; you’ll like us!

Looking forward to meeting you all!

BOOK BUFFS

The April selection is Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders. The group will meet on Tuesday, April 17 at 10:00 AM at the home of Patrick McGowan, 4 Cherry Court. Members, please note that we have decided to return to the original time of our meeting. For those who wonder about our group, this novel can best be described as an historical fantasy, and will be an interesting addition to your literary list! If you have read it, or just want to learn more about it, come join us!

MESSaGE FrOM THE MaNaGErby Traye Blackburn

I would like to welcome home all of our “snow birds” who are beginning to return from warmer climates. Barring the Grayson blizzard on January 4, 2018 our winter storms have been manageable. The golf course equipment has been cleaned, tuned up and is ready for another season. When you step out onto the golf course, there are some new things to notice: the bunker on the left of # 2 green has been filled in and mounded and will soon be sodded, new divot mix boxes are now on every tee box, # 5 cart path has been redone, curb entrance to # 2 tee has been redone, tree work on the left side of # 11 has been completed, the cart path from # 13 to # 14 has been expanded and edged. A deep tine aeration is scheduled this month andsoon we will continue our bunker renovation program and purchase the final golf course fountain for # 18. WOW, the golf course staff has been very busy this winter!

Speaking of golf, all of our golf leagues are getting underway and the season is here! Be sure to secure your 2018 Golf Membership, and when you purchase your trail fee, obtain your golf cart ID stickers for 2018 from the Pro Shop. Kevin Lawrence is back as our golf professional, but Marc O’Such will not return as the assistant professional. He has taken a new job in the computer industry. Kevin is hard at work finding Marc’s replacement.

Phase I of the Clubhouse renovation is moving along quite well. This project was based on the initial thought of removing storage areas and replacing those locations with usable space, as well as an upgrade of all current facilities. I would like to thank the FMCA Board of Directors and specifically Kathleen Walk, Patrick McGowan, and Tom Basile for their “hands on” effort for this huge project.

Everyone out walking will notice the perimeter hedge has had its first of two trimmings by Live Oak Landscaping. The hedge looks good, and its healthy look will increase as new growth appears. One of the jobs of the FMCA Grounds Committee is to determine which section(s) of the hedge are in the worst shape and are in need of replacement. This assessment will be completed in the near future; the removal and planting will take place in the fall. Our very own FMCA landscape division will be part of the turf replenishment program. Our staff will turn over soil, seed, fertilize, and add organic clean soil where needed. It is up to the resident to sign up in the main office and to water their treated areas.

Each spring, many residents wish to have exterior work done. This requires completing a FMCA Modification Application, the approval of your local association, the FMCA Architecture Committee, and finally the FMCA Board of Directors. If you plan any changes to the existing landscape, the exterior of your unit (doors, windows, etc.) or have questions regarding the modification application

process, please contact us at the main office and we will be happy to answer all of your questions. All FMCA Rules & Regulations can be found on our website www.fairwaymews.org along with other useful information such as: FMCA Board of Directors meeting schedule (under special bulletins), FMCA Office holiday schedule (under special bulletins), resident information history, and more!!!!

It must be spring at Fairway Mews! We have golfers on the course, tennis and bocce players on the courts, walkers and bike riders on the road and flowers starting to emerge. It is time to get out there and enjoy all that the Mews has to offer.

We accept no responsibility for any advertisements. if there are any complaints concerning an advertiser, please contact them directly. if you receive no satisfaction, you can contact your Better Business Bureau or the Ocean County Department of Consumer affairs.

GOlF NEWSlETTErby Kevin Lawrence, Golf Pro

April is here! Hopefully everyone is eager to start the golf season after an up and down February and March nor’easters. The first step toward kick starting your season is to pay your golf membership. Applications for membership should be submitted to the ProShop for processing. Remember membership is required for all league play and club trophy events. Be sure to stop in. We’re looking forward to another exiting golf season in 2018.

As winter subsides and we move into spring, our shop hours change as well. Starting April 10, we will be open from 8 AM to 5 PM, Tuesday thru Sunday. In the shop, I am looking forward to getting in many of my spring orders. This means in April, I should have a good amount of new merchandise for you to see. Be sure to stop by.

The golf course is completely open to play, Tuesday-Sunday, before the leagues start. League play starts in April; sign-ups will go up one week prior to the events. If you would like to be involved in any of the leagues or have questions about them, be sure to give me a call in the Pro Shop.

GOlF TipThe golf tip for this month is about putting. Putting is

a large part of your score, and if you played golf in the way it was meant to be played (Par 72 course), you would find that 50% of your strokes came from putting alone. That is saying that you hit every fairway and green in regulation and then took 2 putts per hole. With that said, putting can save or destroy your round.

Most putts are missed because of bad putter alignment. A good way to test how square your face is to the target at impact is to carefully line up the face to a target and put 2 balls against the face. The setup to this drill is most important. After you have done that, make a good stroke to your target. If you have a perfectly square face, you will see both balls moving to your target together at the same speed. If your face is open or shut, you will see the balls colliding and traveling to the right or left of your target at different speeds. If you get good at this drill, your ball will always start in the direction of your target.

COUNTrY ClUB NEWSby Kathleen Walk

April is here and hopefully all thoughts of cold weather and snow are well behind us. We can all enjoy the birds singing and the flowers blooming, and not to be forgotten, our wonderful golf course.

Due to renovation, we were not able to have our St. Patrick’s Day Party. I promise next year it will be bigger and better than ever.

March 21 brought a fourth nor’easter in as many weeks, forcing us to cancel our most popular event, brunch at the Turning Point, for a second time! Thank you Virginia Upton, for your hard work on what would surely have been a delightful experience.

Our famous Pizza Party will be held on Thursday, April 12, at Joe’s Pizzeria and Restaurant. Save your pennies for this awesome happening. Come and enjoy the fun.

=The Derby Social and Golf Scramble is Saturday, May 5. We invite all golfers and non-golfers to join us for this social event. Golf socials were never intended to be exclusively for those who play golf. We promise you a great day.

Don’t miss our Wine and Cheese Party on Memorial Day Monday, May 28, where we welcome everyone back to the Mews and perhaps have a chance to meet new residents.

Please join Maeve O’Malley and Anne Tarrant on their Ireland Adventure Tour, June 6-15, 2018. The wonderful itinerary presents the best of Northern Ireland. It is the trip of a lifetime.

The Fairway Mews river cruise to the Magical Christmas Markets is on November 30 - December 7, 2018. Enjoy a fascinating 7-night cruise from Nuremberg to Vienna.

Our Bocce is starting April 16. If you are interested please come over to the Bocce Courts at 9:30 AM.

I am still looking for a wonderful volunteer to chair the July 14 Social/Scramble and volunteers for the June 9 Yard Sale. Please call me if you are interested.

We appreciate your supporting the events. As we all know, FAIRWAY MEWS is the very best place to live.

Cheers

a CrUiSE pOrT liKENO OTHEr: CUBa

by Eleanor Jordan

Although we love to live in the northeast and enjoy winter, it is nice to go someplace warm. For the past number of years, a winter cruise has been a wonderful respite. Cruising is nice, but I do like to see different ports of call. If you are a regular cruiser, that can be difficult. This year the addition of Havana was exciting. Cuba has an air of mystery to it, a locale forbidden to Americans as a vacation destination until very recently. Intrigued, we booked back-to-back cruises, one of which included Havana. This article will highlight some of the procedures cruise ship passengers will encounter, many of which we found to be quite unusual.

Upon docking, the ship is boarded by Cuban health officials. They do their inspection and certify that the passengers can leave. We arrived at 2p.m. and the first tours were scheduled for 2:15, a rather ambitious schedule. The health clearance was lengthy and disembarkation was 4:00 p.m. Many tours concluded in the dark, making for many unhappy folks.

Identification: To disembark, you will need your passport, your ship ID card and a visa. The visa is obtained for you by the ship, at a cost of $75. Some of our Canadian

friends were unhappy with the visa cost. If they had left from Canada, it would have been $25.

Security: After your passport is stamped and your visa surrendered, your picture is taken. No hats, no sunglasses, no smiling or you are subject to a retake. They keep the picture. Next you walk through an infra-red camera which takes your temperature. If it is above normal, you are taken aside and examined by local medical personnel, who determine if you can proceed.

Money: If you wish to make purchases ashore, you must exchange your money at the kiosk in the terminal. American credit and debit cards are not widely accepted, nor is our currency. ATMs for US banks are not available. There are 2 types of Cuban currency, one for the locals and one for the tourists. Tourist currency has monuments on it and local currency has pictures of people. Although the Cuban peso is equivalent to the dollar as of this writing, there is a 13% charge for exchange, 10% for tax and 3% for the service fee. It is “recommended” that you exchange your money in multiples of $50. If you chose to exchange it back to dollars, you will only be charged the 3%.

Tipping: You can easily spend your Cuban money. Tipping is an important source of income and is expected, as in all tourist areas. Salaries are quite low in many occupations. Ration books are still in use for rice, sugar, matches and oil.

Health insurance: The Cuban government requires all guests to pay a Cuba Health Insurance Fee which was included in the taxes, fees and port expenses for the cruise. If you need medical assistance while ashore, you present your ship ID card and will not be charged. As we did not disembark, that fee was reimbursed to our shipboard account.

recordkeeping: The US government requires that visitors keep a journal, indicating the names of people with whom they interacted and what was discussed.This is to be kept for five years.

Going ashore: There was some confusion about going ashore. We were told by the cruise line that US citizens had to be on a ship’s tour and not roam around on their own. Before the cruise, all passengers were sent a nine-page document. It listed all the possible reasons you were visiting Cuba. By signing it, you agreed that you would not disembark on your own and knew you were breaking the US law if you did. Some people we knew went out on their own at night to ride in one of the vintage cars. They had no issues with Cuban immigration.

Havana is a cruise port like no other in the Caribbean. If you have the chance, don’t miss the opportunity to see it.

by Jerry Fitzpatrick

Just a few tidbits for April. I assume everyone read about the woman who attempted to board a Delta flight with a peacock, claiming it was a comfort animal. This comes with copious complaints about people who, using the comfort animal dodge, have been bringing dogs whose barking and waste elimination has unnerved passengers. What would happen if I, claiming flight anxiety, brought my pet camel to board a flight. At last it would not deplete the water storage. However, my best example has to be when Fred Flintstone sought entry to a flight with his pet dinosaur, Dino. Would Delta bar Fred?

I have been driving for 55 years and I cannot operate the windshield wipers properly. When I have the on slow and want to turn it off, I immediately accelerate to fast forward and vice versa. Is there a remedy for this, even if I am in my dotage?

The following is “tongue in cheek” and please do not interpret any other way.

The Average Fairway Mews Golfer:1. Is 81 2/3 years of age.2. Has been married for 53 ½ years.3. Has a handicap of 27.6.4. Plays golf 3.25 times per week.5. Only plays at Fairway.6. Is fiscally conservative!!!!7. Has 5.5 grandchildren.8. Has been retired 27 years.9. Drinks beer and some red wine, but not any white.10. Is a Republican and Conservative.11. Never would vote for Obama and his socialism.12. Watches 4 to 6 hours of Fox per day.13. Roots vociferously for Phil and not Tiger.14. Reads the NY Post.15. Feels that Jerry Fitzpatrick is the greatest golf czar in

the USA.

But in the long run, he or they are the most friendly and generous group of men around.

KNOLL NEWS

“HUrraH – SpriNG iS HErE”by Joan Baker

After a long, cold and rainy winter, it’s time to dive head first into beautifying your surroundings with colorful plantings that will bring pleasure to you and your family for many months.

A good start is to tour the area with a yardstick in hand and draw a diagram to scale--being sure to note the NSEW exposures in your plan.

The first decision to make is will it be seeds or flats. They each have their pros and cons. Why not choose a few of each?

The seed packets come with a wealth of information; namely, variety, botanical name, color, height and depth to plant and the expected yield. Be sure the seeds were packed for the current year. Keep in mind that annuals require frequent deadheading to keep producing flowers.

The other choice would be flats from the Garden Center. An advantage here is you can see the actual colors. Be sure the plants look healthy with buds and are not too leggy. Try at least one annual you haven’t grown before; perhaps it will become a favorite. Again, follow the directions on the label of the flat.

On planting day, arm yourself with comfortable shoes, a few kneeling pads and a straw hat. Don’t forget your stainless steel container of cool water for the planter and a soaker hose to keep the soil moist as you work.Before you start planting, loosen the soil with a hand rake, remove any large stones and add 2 inches of compost to enrich the soil.

The planting is next, start at the front and choose a border plant such as all green or variegated hostas. Give the hostas plenty of space, they will define the growing area. Next plant low growing annuals like impatience, begonias, marigolds and petunias. The final row should be reserved for salvias, zinnias, snapdragons and cosmos.

By chance if there is a light frost predicted overnight after planting, place two or three sheets of dampened newspapers on top of the plants to protect them. Remove paper in the morning; they should be fine.

Although I usually end my article with a quote, as a substitute may I recommend a great reference book published by Charles Scribner & Sons; namely, America’s Garden Book by Bush Brown. It has so much information that I refer to it quite often. It never fails to answer all my questions and also the questions of so many fellow gardeners who frequently call. I enjoy hearing from you!

UpDaTE ON laVENDEr & laCEby Tedi Makar

Due to the Clubhouse Renovation we are not having our annual Lavender & Lace Card Party this spring. The good news is that the James F. Ackerman Federation is planning many fun activities off site. We have made a pledge to benefit Pediatric Oncology Research at Hackensack Meridian Health for the K.Hovnanian Children’s Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey.

You can help us in this worthy charity for cancer research by volunteering. Save the date for a Red Carpet Event at the Algonquin on August 10th! We will be featuring drinks, appetizers, and a show. Plan on a night of laughter enjoying “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”. More details to follow.

On April 17th we have a Bus Trip to Hunterdon Hills Playhouse for lunch and to see “Steel Magnolias”. On May 4th our Spring Card Party will be held at the Deal Country Club. Call as soon as possible to join us for each of these events due to limited seating. Then, in the fall, another Card Party will be held at the Spring Lake Bath & Tennis Club; however, that date has not yet been determined. No need to play cards at either Card Party. You can bring a board game or just have lunch and chat with friends. Lastly, a Tree Lighting Extravaganza in the North West Pavilion at JSUMC is planned for the last week of November. You will be able to honor and/or memorialize family or friends on decorations placed upon our Holiday Tree. Again, more details to follow.

Should you want to contribute your time and/or funds to any of these events, please contact Sandra Keary or Tedi Makar. Our phone numbers are in the FMCA Directory and we would love to hear from you. Remember, Fairway Mews has always been generous in helping raise funds for Jersey Shore University Medical Center. This time it is for Kids Cancer Research. Any effort, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, and we hope to see you at any or all of these events!

THE Girl WHO TaKES aN EYE FOr aN EYE

By David LagercrantzTranslated from the Swedishby George GouldingReviewed by Claire Harty

This book is the fifth installment in the continuing saga of Lisbeth Salander. She is an abused, dragon-tattooed, unschooled but

brilliant computer hacker, and the title character in the Millennium series. The series is named for the fictional Swedish magazine whose chief investigative reporter/editor is Mikael Blomkvist, one of the very few people that Lisbeth trusts. In previous novels they have taken extreme, sometimes illegal measures to help each other.

As the book opens Lisbeth is in jail, occupying a cell in the unit reserved for the most dangerous female prisoners. Mikael and his sister Annika, who is Lisbeth’s lawyer, are outraged that the courts have confined her for the desperate actions she had to take to save an autistic child’s life, but Lisbeth is unconcerned. Her sentence is brief and she is completely antisocial, so she doesn’t care where she is. She is a loner who spends her days reading about quantum mathematics. Yet, she has an innate sense of fairness. When she hears the young Bengalese girl in the adjoining cell being beaten and abused by the unit’s most violent bully, she decides to help the defenseless victim.

Lisbeth is visited by her longtime guardian and trusted friend HolgerPalmgren, who is dying of cancer. Holger has found some information about Lisbeth’s childhood and this spurs Lisbeth to finally uncover all the long buried details of her tragic life. Since she is still incarcerated, she needs help on the outside and turns, once again, to Mikael. These two storylines continue to intertwine after Lisbeth is released from prison, along with a subplot that dominates the last half of the book.

The first three Millennium novels were written by Stieg Larsson; after his death, Lagercrantz was given permission to continue the saga. Lagercrantz’s narrative style is similar to that of Larsson, but he is not as brutally graphic. Like so many novels translated from another language, some words are colloquial, some sentences are stilted, and, unless one has Scandinavian heritage, the place names are almost unintelligible. Characters from previous books come in and out of this work, but enough background is included for the reader to understand their significance to Lisbeth. The Millennium series has always been fascinating; however, the storylinesin this novel are blatantly contrived, and the rushed ending leaves one wondering if this is the final installment.

money and a Rolex watch hidden in her son’s bedroom, she hires Cole to track the boy and see if he is selling drugs. It doesn’t take long for Cole to discover the boy is in even worse trouble. The teenager is part of a juvenile burglary trio that breaks into unoccupied mansions and steals cash, jewelry and electrical equipment. They have no idea who lives in these homes; they just know the people are rich. This is a big mistake that causes the kids to become wanted – and not just by the authorities.

When someone from the flea market, where the gang sells the stolen merchandise, is murdered, Pike is called to help. The young boy has disappeared. The detectives have to find and protect him while they figure out who is after him and the rest of the gang. What have the thieves stolen that is so important someone is willing to commit murder to get it back?

A quick-witted, tough guy with a kind heart, Cole and his silent, cryptic, former Marine partner Pike always make for an enjoyable read. The action is fast-paced and some of the minor characters are quirky, especially the teenage computer whiz Carl. While this book is not one of Crais’s best, fans of the author and readers new to the series will certainly enjoy it.


FrOM THE pEOplE iN THE pEWSBy Registered Retiree, Joe Fichter

I consider myself lucky because on New Year’s Day this year I turned a year older and got one year closer to my goal of celebrating my 80th birthday in the year 2020. In recent years, according to my honey, I have been losing my hearing. In addition, she has informed me that my mumbling has gotten worse. (I wonder if it could have anything to do with her quality of hearing, but far be it for me to mention this coincidence.) Whatever the case may be, we are having problems hearing and speaking, which we will address or not in the near future.

This is the main topic on my mind these days: hearing and speaking. Although I seem to suffer from both, I don’t notice it in myself. However, I do notice it in other people. Almost every Sunday we go to church where this problem shows itself most annoyingly.

In the past 25 years or so I have noticed much smaller numbers of people attending church. My church, as well as many others, has lost ministers, priests, deacons and pastors regularly. To me, one of the most obvious reasons for fewer people attending services is that the people in the pews can’t hear or understand what is being said.

To rectify the problem of too few priests and ministers caused by the lack of people looking to commit to the religious life, bishops and church administrators have often decided to close small parishes and merge into larger churches where one priest can serve many more people. To further address the shortage, bishops have invited priests from countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia to work in the U.S. Although many foreign-born priests are highly educated and fluent in several languages, their spoken English is often heavily accented and difficult to understand. Consequently, people in the pews, like me, cannot understand much of the homily. Some would rightfully argue that the homily is not the most important part of the religious service; however, to many people the homily delivers the most lasting thoughts they take home. If people can’t understand the homily, much is lost. After a period of years, when little improves, some people move on to different churches or no church at all.

It appears to me one remedy is fairly obvious. Bishops should provide mandatory language training for all foreign-born priests and ministers before they are given the responsibility of conducting services. Another idea would be for the priest/minister to hand out printed copies of the homily in advance of each service so that the people in the pews could follow along and literally take home the message. I may be losing my hearing, but my reading is just fine! Finally, I see no reason why this problem cannot be acknowledged and soon remedied to the satisfaction of all involved.

MEMOrY KEEpErSby Maureen Cronin

Many of us who are amateur genealogists, or those of us who just wished that we had asked our parents and grandparents to tell us more of their stories, wonder how to be a memory keeper for our families. I remember my mother going to a story-telling seminar when she was in her eighties, and she tried, but it was just impossible for her to organize or write down everything she knew. Some of her interesting stories about life in the 1930s, 40s and 50s are just lost to our family. I found myself singing the refrain from Hamilton in my head: “Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?” It is truly a daunting task.

Shortly after the holidays I was chatting with a friend from my grade school years, so our conversations are often more reminiscence than current events. She had called me to see if I remembered (of all things) the name of Nancy Drew’s boyfriend in the childhood series we had both read. (Yes, by the way, I do: Ned Nickerson). When I inquired as to why she was thinking about good old Nancy Drew, she told me about the project with which she had become involved. For Christmas her daughter had given her a subscription to a website called Storyworth.net. Each week the website emails a question and asks for a response of any length. Your replies are saved under your account, and at the end of one year, they are bound into a hardcover book and sent to you. There is the option to send pictures to accompany your response, if you are so talented to do so. If you don’t like the question of the week, you simply

go to the website and choose from an enormous list of possible questions.

It seemed to me a great way to begin to process the memories of a lifetime. I won’t deny that sometimes the pressure of a new question each week gets to be a lot, but this isn’t required, folks. If you don’t have time, or don’t feel like doing it that week, just don’t do it. For me, it works best to plan a particular time each week; Sundays after Mass is usually good.

Some of the questions I have answered have been enjoyable trips down memory lane. I’ve responded to: “Tell me about your vacations as a child? Did you ever go on an adventure, and what was it? What was life like in the 60s? How did you meet your spouse? How did our family experience World War II?” This week I’m asked to address: “What was the happiest time in your life?” If you choose, you can create your own question. I created one about our ancestors coming to the USA, thus writing in a lot of my genealogy hard work.

I hope it turns our to be something my grandchildren will want to save! I need to work on adding some of the old pictures I have found, to make it more interesting. It takes time, but hey, time is what retirement is all about! By the way, my friend’s question for the week, which led toher calling me? It was: “What books did you enjoy as a child, and what made them special?” Do you want to try it?

April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh bombs the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and wounding hundreds more. April 20, 1999, two teenage boys go on a rampage in Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing 1 teacher and 12 students. April 25, 1945, delegates from 45 countries met in San Francisco to organize the United Nations. April 27, the first Social Security checks were distributed. April 29, 1913, Gideon Sundback of Hoboken patents the zipper.April 30, 1975, the Vietnam War ends with the fall of Saigon, later named Ho Chi Minh City.

As you can see from my short review of some historical events, April has been quite a diverse month. Research some of these events yourself and learn some more April history.

SUNDaY aFTErNOON QUiCKiEThe only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon “quickie”

with their eight-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

“There’s a car being towed from the parking lot,” he shouted. As he began his commentaries his parents put their plan into operation.

“An ambulance just drove by.”“Looks like the Sanders are moving.”“Matt’s riding his new bike.”“Looks like the Andersons are having company.”“Jason just went by on his skateboard.”After a few moments he announced, “The Coopers

are having sex.”Startled, his mom and dad shot up out of bed. Dad

cautiously cried out, “How do you know they’re having sex?”

“Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a popsicle!”

THE ESSENCE OF CHUTzpaH

A little old lady sold pretzels on the busy corner for 25 cents. Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time and as he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter and not take a pretzel. This went on for three years. The two of them never spoke. He would pass by, leave the quarter, and take no pretzel. One day as he was passing by and leaving his quarter, without blinking an eye, the old woman said to him, “They’re 35 cents now!”

That’s CHUTZPAH!

MY liViNG Will

Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle! If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”

They got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine!

Bert feared his wife, Peg, wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem.

The doctor told Bert that there was a simple test he could perform to give the doctor a better idea about his wife’s hearing loss. “Stand about forty feet away from your wife and in a normal conversational tone, see if she hears you. If not, go to thirty feet, then twenty, and so on til she hears you. Let me know!”

That evening, Peg was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Bert was in the den—about forty feet away. He decides to try the test, so he says in a normal voice, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” No response. He moves closer, about thirty feet from the kitchen and says, “Peg, what’s for dinner?” Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room, about twenty feet from the kitchen and says, “Peg, Honey, what’s for dinner?” Still no response. So he walks up to the kitchen, about ten feet from Peg and again asks, “Peg, what’s for dinner?” Again, there is no response. So he walks up right behind her and says “Peg, Dearest, what’s for dinner?”

“Damn, Bert for the fifth time—CHICKEN!”

SOME HiSTOrY OF THE SECOND aMENDMENTby Geoff Blake, source, history.com

The Second Amendment is one of the ten amendments that form the Bill of Rights. There have been differing interpretations of the amendment, often referred to as the “right to bear arms,” since the amendment’s adoption by Congress in 1791. These differing interpretations have fueled a long-running debate over gun control legislation and the rights of individuals to buy, own and carry firearms.

The text of the Second Amendment reads in full: “ A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The framers of the Bill of Rights adapted the wording of the amendment from nearly identical clauses in some of the original thirteen state constitutions.

During the Revolutionary War era, “militia” referred to groups of men who banded together to protect their communities, towns, colonies, and states once the United States declared independence from Britain. Militias did not mean a group formed by the government. At this time, many people believed that governments used soldiers to oppress the people, and thought that the federal government should only raise armies with full-time paid soldiers when facing foreign enemies. Ordinary citizens in part-time militias should be used for all other purposes. They should also use their own weapons.

Militias proved insufficient against the British during the Revolutionary War so the Constitutional Convention gave the new federal government the power to establish a standing army, even in peacetime. Opponents of a strong central government, known as Anti-Federalists argued that this new federal army deprived states of their ability to defend themselves against oppression. So, shortly after the Constitution was ratified, James Madison proposed the Second Amendment as a way to empower state militias. Federalists and Anti-Federalists both supported the principle of the Second Amendment that the government did not have the power to disarm citizens.

Americans have debated the meaning of the Second Amendment practically since its

ratification. The crux of the debate was and still is whether the amendment protects the right of private individuals to keep and bear arms, or whether it instead protects a “collective right” that should be exercised only through formal militias, like our National Guards.

Supporters of stricter gun control legislation argue that limits are necessary on gun ownership, including who can own them, where they can be carried, and what type of guns should be available for purchase. Strict supporters of the Second Amendment, led by the National Rifle Association, founded in 1871, have always pursued a campaign against

gun control measures at the local, state, and federal levels. They believe that the Second Amendment protects not only militias’ but ordinary citizens’ right to own guns for their protection.

Some gun control legislation has passed in Congress. The Brady Bill, which mandated background checks for guns purchased from licensed dealers, has led to more debate than ever. There have been a number of Supreme Court cases dealing with the Second Amendment. In a 5-4 decision in the case of the District of Columbia vs Heller, 2008, the Court invalidated a federal law barring nearly all civilians from possessing guns in the District of Columbia. By this decision, the Supreme Court extended Second Amendment protection to individuals in federal, non-state, enclaves. Writing the majority decision in that case, Justice Antonin Scalia stated that the Second Amendment protects the right of individual private gun ownership for self-defense purposes.

Two years later, in McDonald vs Chicago, the Court in a 5-4 decision struck down a similar citywide handgun ban, ruling that the Second Amendment applies to states as well as to the federal government. In that majority ruling, Justice Samuel Alito wrote: “ Self-Defense is a basic right, recognized by many legal systems from ancient times to the present day, and in Heller, we held that individual self-defense is the central component of the Second Amendment right.”

Interestingly enough, in the Heller decision, the Court suggested a list of regulations including bans on possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill as well as bans on carrying arms in schools and government buildings. Heller also “suggested” there should be restrictions on gun sales and bans on carrying concealed weapons. Finally, a ban should also be put on weapons that are “not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.”

The debate continues about the meaning of and/or the interpretation of the Second Amendment. Are there limits to be placed on gun-ownership in this country or does the Second Amendment negate any restrictions on gun-control? Like the old song says, “The Beat Goes On.”
