    IMAGINATION is an integral part of the creative process. Whatever the art form, the ability
    to create involves seeing beyond the obvious and enables the artist, the sculptor, the
    photographer, or the writer to envision a singular and new concept. For this special issue on
    Creativity, more than 70 of your friends and neighbors have responded to our invitation and
    submitted almost 200 works of art in various disciplines—each distinctive and the result
    of their individual creative talents. We thank them for sharing their work with us in both this
    magazine and our Online Magazine Gallery (OMG) addendum on the Hunters Run website.
    We need everyone to imagine, too, as you explore this magazine and the OMG addendum.                                        OFFICERS AND BOARD MEMBERS 2021-2022

             Excerpt from The Blind Date of a Lifetime by Bethanie Gorny.
CREATIVE WRITING
             1st place Florida Writers Association Royal Palm Award for nonfiction. 2018
             I emerge from the dim deplaning tunnel and there he is, standing right up
             in front of the crowd of people waiting at the gate. I recognize him instantly
             from the snapshots he sent a few months ago. He is seventy-eight years old,
             five feet ten, of medium build, and has a full head of wavy white hair. He
             scans the arriving passengers with a worried look. As soon as he sees me, he
             breaks into a radiant smile and waves. His lake-blue eyes sparkle reflecting
             the blinding Florida sunshine pouring through the windows and, for a
             minute, everyone else evaporates and it seems as if there’s no one else in the
             terminal but us — just my father and me, seeing each other for the first
             time in forty-seven years.
                                                                                                 Needlepoint by Bonnie Dublirer
             Addicted to Writing
             I write creative nonfiction essays, short stories, memoirs, and novellas. My
             ideas come from relatives, friends, people I meet. If they inspire me, I want to
             tell their stories. Holocaust survivors, a friend fighting cancer, people growing
             older, family relationships, the person sitting next to me on a plane, my
             gardener, myself. Does everyone have a story? It appears that way. So I start
             with the character and the plot flows from there. I tell true stories creatively.
             When I write, I feel like I’m painting with words.

                                             The above is to the tune of “Pinball Wizard “by The Who and is a synopsis of what I do--- blend Rock
                                              ‘n Roll songs to ideas, themes, activities, and current events. My thoughts percolate, assimilate, and
                                                  then I create---usually writing down my ideas, mulling them over, later rehashing them and
                                               integrating with new ideas. Needless to say, it’s a process and eventually voila - “A Song is Born.” I

                                                        Excerpt by Ami Sands Brodoff
                           I didn’t know my grandbabe existed till I held her in my arms. My daughter called her Belle, after
                           my mother, and I wondered if every time we said her name, we’d both feel pain.
                           I rock Belle and old phrases sound in my mind, truth in their echo. Enjoy her. They grow up so fast.
                           The days go slow, the months pass.
                           I’d like to believe I had Grayson when I was young, just a girl, but this isn’t so. I wish I could conjure
                           being unsettled, Lord, I was settled as I was ever going to get. An accident? Franklin and I would
                           sneak into Mount Sinai on visitor’s hours and look through the glass at a blooming field of babies,
                           so new and old and wise, eyes still slitted against the world, we wanted one so.
                           I look into Belle’s black eyes, lashes grazing her cheeks and think, every mother is a daughter.
                           “You’ll learn her,” I tell Grayson. “You’ll learn her cries.” I want to pamper Grayson the way Mama
                           pampered me. She died three months ago, a few days after Belle’s birth. Grayson left the hospital for
                           the funeral bed and put Belle into my arms, the baby still spotty and scurf-scalped, skin peely as
                           bark. We hadn’t spoken for twelve years, Gray and I, not that I wanted silence—I ate humble pie till
                           I was sick on it--but Gray had an anger toward me that spurted up from underground, a boiling hot
                           spring. Once her heart gets set against you, she don’t turn back ... till she had Belle. The circle goes
                           around and comes around. Thank God for that.
                           Franklin and I, we argued over names. I remember us still leafing through baby books while I nursed
                           my new girl in the recovery room. I wanted to give my daughter a strong name, something different.
                           Franklin liked Grace, but it was too Puritan for me, too religious. I’d had it with a life as Charity.
                           We settled on Grayson—my mother-in-law’s maiden name. Franklin called her Grace, I fixed on
                           Gray. It’s a strong, cool hue, like the scaling notes on Franklin’s sax….

Elayne Kardeman - Creator & Mentor                                                                                                By Ann Forman
Take a step into Elayne Kardeman’s Cambridge villa and you are immediately surrounded by art. Not surprising as Elayne
is not only an artist herself but has used her creativity and mentorship skills to help disabled young people whom she
affectionately refers to as “my children” to realize their full potential through art.
Among her eclectic collection were two pieces that immediately caught my eye. To the right as you enter, I stopped to
admire a contemporary painting in smoky greys textured with pieces of gold netting. “That’s mine,” Elayne said dismissively,

        NEW DUPLICATE BRIDGE ALERT PROCEDURES
There are some changes on the Alert procedure which you will need when you return to the table,
which we hope will be soon. Lynn Berg, a well-known bridge teacher, wrote an article in the ACBL
sectional magazine, Sunshine Bridge, on changes in the Alert procedures. Remember, when you
return to your Club, we do not SELF-ALERT.
1.   Any transfer into a single suit no longer requires the word transfer but only the name of the suit
     required
2.   Only opening club bids which are artificial and forcing require an alert as well as a pre-alert at
     the start of the round against a new opponent.
3.   The point range for a 1NT opening must be announced but any overcall of a 1NT or a 2NT
     opening bid does not.

                                                                              room seems to spin around you.
 The secondary sense used for balance and agility is called proprioception. This deals with where the body is in space and time to the very
 millisecond without our conscious awareness. That is how a gymnast knows when to open up from a back flip and still land on a four-inch
 balance beam or when a pilot is flying upside down in complete darkness (I’m talking military fighter pilots not Jet Blue pilots.)
 The last source, and least relied upon, is the sense of sight.
 Unfortunately, as we get older we rely too much on our vision for our balance and agility. That is why we look down all the time, even when
 walking down a straight hallway (which will also affect our posture.) Furthermore, we shorten our stride length and take short, choppy steps.
 If we were to trip over an object while relying on our sense of sight, the time it would take for the incident to be sensed though the eyes and
 relayed to the brain would take too long for our body to counteract and keep our body in an upright position. There is now a great chance
 you become one of 13,000 people headed to the hospital on a stretcher.
 Here at the gym, we offer training specifically to improve one’s balance and agility. One is in a group setting through Tai Chi. In Tai Chi
 the participant moves in very slow, methodical movements forcing the body to be aware of where it is every second…proprioception. It is
 a safe class because you can work up to your own capability. Tai Chi is offered every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 10 AM, Friday
 at 9 AM.
 The other method of training we do is one-on-one training. Here an individual is paired with a certified trainer specialized in balance and
 agility training. The first plan of action is psychological, getting over one’s fears that inhibit his / her balance. The trainer starts with the
 easiest exercise and will advance to more challenging exercises…never to exceed the client’s capabilities. This can be done using
 balance boards, bosu’s, agility ladders and other apparatus to simulate real life events that might occur in the real world. For
 example, if you were walking from the parking lot to Publix and you don’t notice the step leading into the supermarket, would
 your body react quickly enough to keep you from falling face first? During training the trainer is there to immediately catch
 you and prevent any injury. Along with this style of training the trainer will incorporate leg strengthening exercises for a
 well-rounded program. These ½ hour sessions can be scheduled to the days and times that work within your
 schedule, however availability of days and times are booking up fast.
 It’s up to you. It only takes one fall, one broken bone, one dislocated hip and now
 your time spent EVERY day is in a seated position.
 Call now. Operators are standing by. Call 735-4056. But wait, if you call within the
 next 20 minutes, you’ll receive a free cup of coffee in the Atrium. Just call 735-4056.
