E d i t o r ’s N o t e 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.

{ “I just seem to get inspiration to create things all the time. So when I came across a small photo of an old steam engine, I thought, oh maybe, I’ll make a train. Lots of tinkering, contemplating, with many details. 99% of the wood came from an old crate that my kitchen granite counter came it; the logs came from a backyard tree that blew down in a hurricane. I like making things.” One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest —Jerry Becker by Barbara DeRubeis “Diamond painting is a combination of cross-stitch and paint-by-numbers…simply create sparkly art pieces by placing colorful sticky faceted dots on their matching color fabric Sterling Silver Torah Crown square using the Dotz stylus pen.” by Harold Rabinowitz —Ellen Wohl 6 MAY/JUNE 2021 Hunters Run Country Club
CR EATIV IT Y FEATUR E 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. —Bethanie Gorny NOTE: More information about Bethanie can be found in the Online Magazine Gallery at www.huntersrun.net. “I started building models about 40 years ago as a hobby—Mississippi River Boat, Wells Fargo Stage { Coach and the Eiffel Tower are made of match sticks. We are considering building an extension to our home to house all the other models.” —Don Saferstein “Acrylic on canvas contemporary portraits using photos submitted to me.” —Marcie Stern Hunters Run Country Club MAY/JUNE 2021 7
CR EATIV IT Y FEATUR E Ceramic Platter by Barbara Strassman Stone sculpture by Doris Scheur. CREATIVE WRITING Creative Songwriting By Arnie Zomick Ever since I became a teenager I fell in love with Rock ‘n Roll Listened to the music, almost wherever I would go Hendrix, Steppenwolf, and Cream were my intro. We didn’t have Spotify so I listened to FM radio. 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 have written songs about pickleball, Hunters Run, and the coronavirus. Here is one of my songs based on music by THE MOODY BLUES “I’m just a player in a rock and roll band” and “Question of Balance.’’ I’m just a player on a pickleball team- paddle in hand, in search of a dream Delray, Boynton, Boca Raton, that’s where you go to get it on. If you wanna reach the finals at center court, you gotta play with passion-don’t serve short. I’m just a player on a pickleball team- paddle in hand in search of a dream. I’m looking for some magic in my life- I’m looking for a partner, pickleball wife { And if you play with style and grace- maybe we can paddle up-given time and space Blend sports and romance and move in sync to our own special dance. Ceramic sculpture I’m just a player on a pickleball team -paddle in hand, in search of a dream by Ellen Gold. Delray,Boynton, Boca Raton,that’s where you go to get it on. If you wanna make the finals at center court, you gotta play with passion - don’t serve short I’m just a player on a pickleball team, paddle in hand, proud member of a very, very fine team! 8 MAY/JUNE 2021 Hunters Run Country Club

CR EATIV IT Y FEATUR E Jars and Cloth by Roberta Melman. Oil on canvas. CREATIVE WRITING BABYLUST 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…. Sculpture by Riva Gelman NOTE: Ami Sands Brodoff is an award-winning novelist, short story writer, mentor and creative writing instructor who divides her time between Montreal and Hunters Run.

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, “but I want to show you some of my children’s paintings…” And straight ahead she walked towards a portrait of a woman with huge eyes, long dark hair and blue overralls. “Michael painted this,” she said. “It’s a portrait of his aide, Colleen.” Let’s turn the clock back to when pass Elayne’s art room and peer Elayne was a young teenager in.

TENNIS Intra-club LEAGUE a Big Success FROM THE COURT By Dave Cordrey, Director of Tennis COUNTRY CLUB LIFE IS GREAT. DURING THIS CORONAVIRUS YEAR, WE HAVE PLAYED ALL OUR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS, COMPETED IN INTRA-CLUB LEAGUES AND PLAYED SOCIALLY IN THE POOL. But this time, my column is all about the Intra-club league. When I came out then moved to the afternoon; not all players were available so new up with the idea, I wasn’t sure how it would go but I said, “let’s give it a players were recruited and the match began. The Drop Shot Divas were shot.” So, as I started to put it together, I remember Stew Yaker, at an early a powerhouse during season and the Dare Doubles team came out to Tennis Committee meeting, complimenting me on it, saying,” That’s a play. They fought tooth and nail and, in my mind, were all champions, great idea!” competing and having fun---so we are going to call that one a tie. Moving forward three months later in November, 140 players signed up The Men’s match was not so out of control. Weather called for 70% rain, online for the Intra-club leagues. I went WOW!, Ok, so we put the teams but no rain, so no issues. The Hot Shots came to play, taking down the together; Mali and I assigned the team captains, sent out the team rosters Smash Hits. and schedules, made them name their teams, play a four- line format, In the Mixed Doubles final, the Simply Smashing team lived up to its two out of three sets and then it started. Players oblivious to the whole name, beating Double Trouble in a close match. thing came running into my office: “I want to get in the league.” So, we got them in. Then the season started and I have league players come into In the pickleball Intra-club league, the Paddle Up team took out the my office and tell me “I like to play just for fun” and in my mind I think Picklers in a great match. “liar, liar pants on fire.” Next thing I see them playing their match and I have had so many compliments concerning the Intra-club league and competing like a wild thing, not giving their opponent a chance. I don’t I thank you for that. I want to thank Mali for all the hard work she put know of a player who plays tennis or pickleball who is not competitive. into the league to make sure it happened every week. I want to thank all Captains came to us every week, saying “I don’t have enough players for the captains for all their dedication to putting their teams together. It is a the match,” so Mali would start recruiting players from the pool and other thankless job, but you all made it happen. I want to thank all the players teams to make it happen. We went through our seven-week season, had for playing, too, and finally, thanks to all my staff for the great job they did the playoffs---and guess what---let’s do it all over again! getting courts ready, checking courts, playing in games and taking care This time, 240 players signed up for the 2021 tennis and pickleball of all of your tennis and pickleball needs. We will be doing it again next leagues. New teams are formed, new captains are assigned (and this season, but just not sure of the format. is where we learn whether someone is capable of being captain) and We will be continuing the pool for the summer. I will get the summer since we have more players more matches are assigned. Much tougher pool schedules out in May. One quick note. We constantly have competition but fun matches. As we get to the end of the season, the complaints about fivesomes. Trust me, we can’t help it.

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.

FITNESS BALANCE By John Freeland, Director of Fitness Do you have a balanced schedule? In a 24-hour day how much sleep do you get? How much time is spent eating meals? How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair, whether watching TV, on the computer, or playing cards? I am sure you guessed that this article is to persuade you to find 30 minutes a day, three days a week, to get to the Fitness Center to improve your health. You probably assume that in this article I’ll get on your case because you only have one body and if you don’t take care of it, if you can’t find 90 minutes A WEEK, that you can’t complain you don’t have the energy or strength you wish you had. If you guessed this, you are wrong. Guilty, but wrong. This article is specific to your physical balance. In 2019, Palm Beach Fit& County Fire Rescue responded to 117,036 calls. This includes all fire related calls, all car accidents and all medical calls. Of that amount Trim 13,211 of those calls were slips and falls!!! Over 13,000!!! In the human body, balance is primarily through the inner ears (not the sense of hearing which is sensed by the middle ear.) That is why people who are deaf don’t fall over. On the flip side, vertigo is caused by a problem with the balance mechanisms of the inner ear and the 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. That is: seven three five four zero five six. 30 MAY/JUNE 2021 Hunters Run Country Club
