This Generation Has Passed Me By

BY CHRIS ROOSA Contributor I grew up in an era when life was simple. Our rotary dial phone was shared with a party line. We had a selection of three channels on our 12” television screen. Nighttime entertainment consisted of Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger or Jackie Gleason. Friday nights were often spent at the roller-skating rink listening to that awful organ music as we repeatedly circled the floor. Saturday afternoons we’d walk over three miles to the movie theater to enjoy cartoons and a double feature. To the thrill of our parents, they could send us off with twenty-five cents, plus a nickel for snacks, so they could have some

time to themselves.

Our brains became a mathematical wiz as we became proficient in addition, subtraction and the times tables. Spelling bees taught us how to ace the English language.

Time off from school was spent outside with friends engaging in hopscotch, jax, biking or jumping rope. Wax lips and candy cigarettes put a smile on our young faces. It was a time of simplicity, days of innocence. Neighbors enjoying the company of neighbors, children learning to share with other children.

We learned how to entertain ourselves with crayons or we took time to relax

Give Your Brain Some Exercise With This Real Estate Rebus

BY LARRY STOLLER Contributor It is very important to exercise the brain!

My wife, who is a licensed psychologist, made it very clear to me how important it was to keep my brain active.

Learning new things, playing games, Larry Stoller resolving problems, working, and/or other mental exercises help keep the brain healthier longer.

The first thing that came to my mind was playing poker with the guys. So maybe I need to play more poker. But very quickly, I came to realize that for me there were other activities that were good for the brain and very gratifying as well.

These activities included making real estate websites, property videos, and developing innovative marketing and advertising campaigns for the homes that I list and sell.

Therefore, in the spirit of keeping our brains healthy, here’s a real estate REBUS with words that are related to real estate.

It marked the 11th year for the popular event that is open to all Sun City residents. It is a collaborative effort of the Sun City Photography Club, All About Art Club, and Glass Crafters Club. There were sixty photos, fifty-five art creations, and five stained glass entries on display February 2nd through fourth. The Photography Club’s sixty photos were randomly paired with fifty-five artists in the All About Art Club and with five stained glass artists from the Glass Crafters Club.

Brodie the Basset Tells All

BY ANDREA HOERNER Contributor This was the scoop of a lifetime- an interview with Brodie the Bassett Hound!

As you may already know, Brodie went missing and was gone 13 days before returning home! As we sat on a Sun City patio, Brodie patiently answered questions about his adventure.

How did this all begin?

B. My human was working in the yard and a gust of wind blew open our back door. I ran out to see what was going on.

Then he yelled, which scared me and I ran to hide.

Did you realize so many folks were looking for you?

B: During the day, I saw people everywhere, but mostly I moved around at night – when everyone in Sun City was fast asleep!

What did you think of the traps?

B: They were disgusting. Smelled of cat food and sardines which were put there to attract me. But I prefer steak, peanut butter, bacon, chicken – in that order.

B: Well, kind Sun City residents leave out food for the feral cats. And I ate a lot of birdseed and poop. Not the best tasting stuff, but I had to survive.

I heard you tasted bunny?

B: I refuse to comment on that! Just because it was I my mouth, doesn’t mean I ATE it.

Were you frightened by the storm?

B: Oh, my yes! I’m rather high strung and just the sound of thunder sends shivers down my spine!

I understand Minnie was brought out to lure you into the trap?

B: Boy oh boy! I’m a good looking five year old Bassett Hadn’t seen such a pretty face in days. That and the steak, I just couldn’t resist.

Were you glad to get home?

B: I was never so happy to see my humans and my bros Jack and Bruno. They were worried sick about me and missed me terribly. We are a team!

What was the first meal you asked for?

B: Boneless chicken breast, sauteed in white wine and well seasoned.

Any lessons for other dogs out there?

B: For Pete’s sake, Stay home! And trust your humans!

Kristie & Skip Cochran, Brodie’s humans, live in Lawton Station. “In a sense it was good he was in Sun City. Residents there are active and out and about and were a great help in spotting Brodie.” said Skip.

Emily Peleaz, a neighbor of the Cochrans, was invaluable in planning how to find Brodie. She explained: “The Cochrans did the right thing in getting the word out along with his photos.”

Kristie went on to say: “The Sun City Securitas officers were a big help. And golf course personnel alerted their employees, who are out on the courses very early, to be on the lookout for Brodie.”

The Cochrans want to express their sincere appreciation to all the folks who were patient and helped in the rescue of Brodie. “This was a great example of a community coming together to accomplish something good,” said Kristie.

But weren’t you hungry?

LEARNING FROM PAGE 6SCS classes, and opportunities for field trips and tours. “They are well organized, very welcoming and make everyone comfortable,” Lepley said. “I feel I have grown so much and am learning about things I would never have been interested in before.”

Another exciting community asset is the Lowcountry Community Concert Band. OLLI supports the band through administrative tasks, marketing, practice space and development.

The Lowcountry Community Concert Band is an ambassador of “wind band” music, holding four free area

concerts a year. “Our concerts are enjoyable, and it’s our mission to present them through an educational lens,” stated David Carbone. He added “It has been an honor to serve as the ensemble’s Artistic Director and principal conductor, now for the sixth year out of the ensemble’s eleven-year history.”

OLLI’s mission is to create and sustain a robust and thriving lifelong learning community for adults through intellectual and social programs. There are OLLI programs on 125 college or university campuses

from Maine to Hawaii to Alaska.

OLLI is volunteer-driven. Instructors are a dedicated group willing to share their expertise and time with members. Curriculum teams, office support and community ambassadors are all volunteers. OLLI is self-sufficient with an endowment from the Osher Foundation, while USCB provides space for office and classes.

How did all this start? Marge Yanker founded the Creative Retirement Center in 1991 which was the beginning of lifelong learning programs for older adults at USCB. Renamed The Learning Exchange in 1993, membership was about 750 when the Osher

Foundation came calling in 2004 to offer financial support in the form of an endowment.

And who is the “Osher” behind all this? Bernard Osher is a respected businessman and community leader who is 97 years old and lives in California. He started the Osher Foundation in 1977, which seeks to improve quality of life through support for higher education and the arts.

An enthusiastic group of Sun City residents attended the annual Sun City Day of Dancing, Singing and Giving that was held November 28 from 2-4 pm at the Pavillion. The Bluffton Self Help benefited from event donations of non-perishable food and cash. Participants enjoyed singing by the Carolina Girls and watching the Sun City Dance Clubs perform.

GENERATION FROM PAGE 2SCS and enjoy a good book.

Today I live in the hectic world of electronics that I can’t operate because I’m mechanically challenged. The ever changing Windows system baffles me to the point that I want to throw my computer out the window. Cells phones? I have reverted back to the flip phone and I am still dumbfounded. The other day I couldn’t figure out how to get “an outside line”. My daughter, who lives in Michigan, was programmed into my contacts. I finally tapped on her number, told her to call the party I wanted and tell them to call me back. When I go a couple of months without using my cell then I can’t

even remember how to turn it on.

If I click the wrong key of my television remote the only way I know how to possibly fix it is to click the Back button or turn the TV off, then back on, hoping that will restore my entertainment. A friend doesn’t know how to pull up Netflix so she has the living room television set to regular channels. The bedroom TV is programmed for Netflix only. Makes sense!

I’ve come to believe that half the cars, on the road, in S. Carolina were manufactured without turn signals. Seven times, yesterday, I sat waiting to turn and didn’t know if the car ahead of me was going left, right or center. How much effort does

it take to use a turn signal?

Last week I was waiting at the front gate to Sun City. There’s a relatively noticeable sign that reads to stay BEHIND THIS LINE until the gate returns to the down position before proceeding. Of course the gentleman, in front of me, thought he could rush forward and squeeze through before the gate arm came down. Wrong! Down it came and it stayed down. I couldn’t back up because I had a line of vehicles behind me. My daughter remarked, “What’s his big rush?

To get home to Ben Gay and tapioca pudding?” Are we at a point in life that we no longer can even follow simple instructions in this busy, fast paced world?

I admit, this era has passed me by. I

find I can no longer keep up with the times. Some place there ought to be a paradise were the elderly can revert back to rotary phones, hand held can openers, a land free of computers, motoms, internet or cable. An island where people once again converse with others, using their mouths, not their fingers. A utopia where an actual person answers the phone at a business and you don’t have to press one to speak English in America. A destination were we once again take time to enjoy the simple things in life and one another. Where there’s no longer a rush home to tapioca pudding and Ben Gay!

Amateur Radio Club Winter Field Day A Success

BY JOSPEH TURINO Contributor Sun City Hilton Head Amateur Radio Club’s Winter Field Day was “absolutely a great success,” according to its President Harve Hnatiuk, who added, “We had a great turnout of members and a lot of guests” at the event which was held at Sun City’s Lake Somerset grounds.

The Amateur Radio Club has over 50 members, and over a quarter of the members took part. “We made contacts in about 35 different states plus three provinces of Canada.” Hnatiuk explained, “The event is a way for our members to practice setting up and operating portable temporary radio communications systems that use off-the-grid electrical power sources. Member Bob Officer was there to assure a supply of solar power for the field day at which the club had four stations on the air simultaneously.

The amateur radio operators could be used by a community such as Sun City, or an area or region outside Sun City during an emergency when normal communications are not available.” For residents of Sun City, it could also be used to reach family when all communications are down to let them know they are okay or to

Amateur Radio Club Member Bob Officer points to the portable solar panel on the roof of his golf cart used to generate power for club members on their radios at the Winter Field Day held at Sun City. He had all equipment needed set up on the back of his golf cart to supply power for the club’s four stations on the air simultaneously.

Hnatiuk explained the reason they held the event outside, “In the case of emergency we are visible and accessible.” He

City grounds in an actual emergency. “We will review that with Sun City and find a way to publish the plan, so residents know about it in advance in the case of an emergency.”

Bob McCormick, club secretary who was at the event, said amateur or more commonly known as ham radio operators, must be licensed by the Federal Communications Commission. He said, “While you are required to take a test to get a license, operators are no longer required to know Morse Code.” Hnatiuk was sending messages with Morse Code at the event as he was licensed back in 1960 when the Morse Code was still a requirement and says his messages average 22-23 words per minute.

The Sun City Club can administer testing as it is an online test, and a monitor must be present. He said new members who do not have a license but want to join the group should contact the club for help in obtaining a license. For all details on amateur radio operators licensing, education, and training, go to the American Radio Relay League website, ARRL.ORG.

Sweet Mr. Mooney Searching For Soulmate Mr. Mooney is single and searching for a soulmate. He has lived at the Palmetto Animal League Adoption Center for nearly 3 and a half years. He is looking for his soulmate, a special person who will love him, respect him, and accept him for who he is.

If you have a thing for high maintenance hunks, Mr. Mooney could be the love of your life! He loves toys (certain ones), bones (only the best), belly rubs (when he’s in the mood), sunbathing (au naturel), car rides (to get takeout), nature walks, and the beach. There’s no denying this 5-year-old Adonis of a dog is 90 pounds of love and sass!

Mr. Mooney is highly selective about who he associates with, to include both

humans and dogs. But it’s only because he’s careful with his heart and doesn’t give it away to just anybody. It takes time to build a relationship with Mooney, but once he loves you, it’s one of the best feelings in the world!

Mr. Mooney has been working with PAL’s dog behaviorist to learn to overcome his diva tendencies and become the best version of himself. After reflecting on his high maintenance ways, Mr. Mooney is ready learn and grow in a committed relationship with someone special.

You should know up front that Mr. Mooney doesn’t do one-night stands.

You’ll need to dedicate about 2-3 weeks to get to know him before he starts to let you in. PAL staff will work with potential suit-

ors to show them the ins and outs of having Mr. Mooney as a companion. Earning his love and affection may be a bit of a process, but once you do, he’ll let down his walls and show you the lapdog within.

Underneath the rippling muscles, devilishly good looks, and bravado, Mr. Mooney is still that same puppy abandoned long ago. And at the end of the day, he just longs for what we all do, unconditional love and understanding.

If you’re interested in dating Mr. Mooney, please call PAL at 843-645-1725 to get on his social calendar. He prefers to make his first dates alfresco in the parking lot. As a true gentleman, he only invites the special ones into his bedroom.
