The INSIDER JULY 2023 5 From the President In our ongoing quest to maintain and improve our exceptional community, we continue to take the necessary actions to achieve this goal. The importance of our proactive approach can clearly be seen by the continuing climb of property values within the Wynmoor community. Today’s residents have the opportunity to enjoy a vast array of upgraded amenities with the assurance that our property investment will provide a profitable return in the future if necessary. There are countless individuals responsible for the many years of successful growth and the impeccable reputation we have earned among our neighboring communities. While there are too many individuals to mention, it is my pleasure to recognize Chick Chase and wish him a Happy 100th Birthday! Most of you know Chick, a proud and decorated war hero, who continued to selflessly serve his community for many dedicated years. Thinking it might be time to slow things down, Chick recently decided to try a well-earned retirement. We wish you the best Chick; you are an inspiration to us all! WE LOVE YOU! Wynmoor Community Council Officers and staff hosted many workshops with your Council Representatives to discuss the future of Bulk TV/Internet and other media services, so that we can make the best choice possible to serve our community. Companies that were reviewed were Comcast, ATT/Direct TV, Bluestream, Hotwire and Breezeline. Representatives from Hotwire, Bluestream and Breezeline made presentations at their facilities where the Wynmoor Community Council Officers and staff attended. Hotwire was the best program at the best price for a high end bulk service option and will be provide fiber optic infrastructure. Hotwire can deliver over 300 channels, internet services and in addition free land line phone service for the first two years and free internet for one year. Also, Hotwire will be on Wynmoor property 5 days a week to start and then 3 days a week, with a concierge service for all our residents, as well as on-site tech service free of charge. At our recent Executive Committee and Board of Directors meetings, a motion for Hotwire to be our new bulk TV and internet provider was passed. We will have Town Hall meetings with Hotwire so they can introduce themselves to all our residents and answer any questions. We look forward to a successful relationship. As you may already be aware, the Florida Turnpike expansion plan poses significant threats to our community’s peaceful environment, safety, and overall quality of life. It is crucial that we stand together in solidarity to oppose this expansion and protect the interests of our residents. The potential consequences of the Florida Turnpike Expansion are far reaching. They include increased traffic congestion, noise pollution, and decreased air quality, which would directly impact our neighborhoods and the health and well-being of our families. Furthermore, the expansion could disrupt the existing infrastructure, leading to potential displacements and the loss of our cherished community spaces. To address these concerns and ensure our voices are heard, I am urging all Wynmoor residents to join forces and take immediate action. A virtual public hearing will be held on July 19th and on July 20th an in person hearing from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the Signature Grand Hotel, in Davie. Wynmoor will provide buses for our residents to attend. It is vital to come out to support our community. I am pleased to announce the City of Coconut Creek has retained a law firm to represent all of our residents. We appreciate all the support we can get. We have put a great deal of effort into expanding our entertainment/ recreational horizons in a safe yet relaxed manner. Check out our everexpanding list of events and activities and join your friends and neighbors for a good time! We also have added to our recreational department off campus activities and trips. We are determined to maintain the “Wynmoor lifestyle” and to ensure we meet this goal. We welcome our new employees to the Wynmoor “family” and thank our long-term staff members for their loyal service over the years. In keeping with our just mentioned “lifestyle goal,” I am excited to say that “this year we will be hosting, not one, but two July 4th celebrations!” Complete with food, music, and the best company around! What more could we ask for as we celebrate Independence Day on Monday, July 4th. Choose your party – join us at the West Wing, or if you prefer work on your tan and take a dip in the pool at our Main Pool event. Hope to see you there! God Bless America! If you’re traveling this summer, be safe, stay healthy and we’ll look forward to your safe return! STAY SAFE, GOD BLESS!

The INSIDER JULY 2023 7 Service Equals Reward By Sheriff Gregory Tony Learn How BSO is Working For You As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability, the Broward Sheriff’s Office has published the 2021-22 Annual Report detailing how we protect and serve the community. In its pages, you will find the facts, from the crime-fighting statistics specific to your city to the bold agency-wide initiatives benefitting residents and visitors in Broward County. As you will see, our organization continues to strive for excellence in all we do. I want to highlight some of the many accomplishments in this comprehensive report. Our Aviation Unit is flying high. The team flew nearly 3,000 missions, assisting in 1,000 arrests, recovering 236 vehicles and locating 17 missing or endangered persons. Their outstanding efforts resulted in well-deserved recognition, as the unit was selected as BSO’s 2021 Unit of the Year. They also won the 2022 Leadership in Police Aviation Award from the International Association of Chiefs of Police. On the ground, our school resource officers (SROs) continued refining the skills required to protect our children. As our schools’ front-line defense, these deputies completed rigorous active killer preparedness training alongside command personnel to effectively manage a critical incident. BSO will continue integrating real-life scenarios into our training regimen to ensure we are always ready and prepared for any situation. Our dedication to fighting crime through education, mentorship and community service continued to pay off. Our Neighborhood Support Team, comprised of sworn and civilian staff, led cultural diversity discussions, provided vital assistance to our seniors and veterans and taught residents about their rights when interacting with our first responders, amongst other essential public safety initiatives. In December 2021, the Florida Crime Prevention Association recognized the team as the Outstanding Crime Prevention Unit of the Year. Other notable endeavors include our Fort LauderdaleHollywood International Airport district participating in a FEMA full-scale exercise to further enhance our readiness; our Department of Fire Rescue and Emergency Services Training Unit being honored as our 2021 Unit of the Year for planning, coordinating and conducting training for our more than 850 fire rescue employees; and the BSO Department of Detention hiring additional mental health specialists to support the mental well-being of our inmate population. These are just a few examples, but there is so much more to learn from this report. Take the time to dive into all the details to better understand how your tax dollars are being spent to protect and serve Broward County. Every action we take is made with you, the resident, in mind. BSO is as much your sheriff’s office as ours, and this report was created so you can see exactly how we work for you.

12 JULY 2023 The INSIDER Jordan T. Spohn, AAMS® Financial Advisor For EDWARD JONES (954) 973-0825 Financial Focus® Biggest Threats to a Comfortable Retirement? If you save and invest for decades, you’d like to know you can retire without financial worries. Nonetheless, you still have to be aware of some threats to a comfortable retirement – and how to respond to them. These threats include: • Inflation – Inflation has been high recently, but even a mild inflation rate can seriously erode your purchasing power. In fact, with just a 3% inflation rate, your expenses could double in about 25 years – and your retirement could easily last that long. So, if you’re going to rely on your investment portfolio for a sizable part of your retirement income, you will need to own a reasonable number of growth-oriented investments, such as stocks or stock-based funds, whose potential returns can equal or exceed the inflation rate. • Excessive withdrawals – Once you retire, you should establish a withdrawal rate for your portfolio – an amount you can take out each year and still feel secure that you won’t run out of money. Some people make the mistake of withdrawing too much, too soon, once they’re retired. Your withdrawal rate should be based on several factors, including your age at retirement, the size of your portfolio and the amount of income you receive from other sources, such as Social Security. A financial professional can help you determine a withdrawal rate that’s appropriate for your needs. • Market volatility – The financial markets will always fluctuate. When you’re still working, this volatility may not be such a problem, as you have years or decades to recover from short-term downturns. But when you retire, you don’t want to have to sell investments when their price is down. To help prevent this, you can tap into the cash in your portfolio, assuming you have enough to cover several months’ worth of living expenses. You could also draw on a CD “ladder” – a group of CDs that mature at different times – to provide you with resources for the next few years and allow your equity investments time to recover their value. • Unexpected costs – You had them when you were working, and you’ll probably have them when you’re retired: the furnace that breaks down, the car that needs a major repair, and so on. But if you’ve established an emergency fund containing a year’s worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid account, you may be able to “ride out” these costs without jeopardizing your investment portfolio. Be sure to keep these reserves separate from your typical day-to-day accounts to avoid the temptation of spending your emergency money. • Health – Retirees may face more health concerns than younger people, and those concerns often come with larger medical bills. That’s why it’s important to maximize the benefits from Medicare or your Medicare Advantage plan. Also, if you contributed to a Health Savings Account (HSA) while you were working, and you haven’t depleted it, you can use the money in retirement. As long as the HSA funds are used for qualified medical expenses, withdrawals are tax- and penalty-free, and won’t be included in your income. This could help keep your income below certain levels, lower your Medicare premiums or avoid the 3.8% surtax on net investment income that can be assessed on high-net-worth taxpayers. Retirement can be a pleasant time in your life – and you’ll enjoy it more if you’re prepared for the challenges that face all retirees.

With plenty of room to grow, a convenient location, easy parking and access, Centura Parc has been a good luck charm for us. Visit us on July 7th and 21st at 7:30 p.m. (Lyons Road to Copans, east two lights to Centura Parc). Everyone is welcome. We are not Levy’s rye bread, but you don’t have to be Jewish to share our Sabbath Services and listen to Rabbi Paul Offenkrantz. Most of the Service is in English, with major prayers transliterated and translated, so all can follow along and participate. We are a Temple Family and welcome all to join us. Did you know Popeye was Jewish? Guess what-he was modeled after a real sailor. Frank Rocky Fiegel was born in Poland in 1868. His parents and he came to America when he was a young child. The family settled in Illinois. He had a 20-year career in the Merchant Marine. After he retired, he became a bouncer for Wiebusch’s Tavern in Chester IL. It was a classic local, slightly rough bar, and Rocky had to keep order inside, and the police outside. He was a fighter and his features showed it. He had a damaged eye- “Pop-eye.” And, yes, he always had a pipe in one side of his mouth and spoke out of the other side. When the bar was quiet, Rocky liked to entertain the patrons with stories of his 20 years aboard ships and his adventures on leave. Elzie Segar, also of Chester, and the originator of Popeye, met Rocky at the Tavern and was fascinated by his stories. The cartoonist asked Rocky if he could model his cartoon character after him. Rocky agreed and so Popeye the Sailor Man was born. Segar always stayed connected with Rocky and gave him a small percentage of his earnings. Did Popeye eat spinach? Who knows? As an aside, Olive Oyl is said to have been modeled on another resident of Chester, Dora Paskel. If you are interested in football, Harvard and Jews, there is a new book out by Zev Eleff called Dyed in Crimson. Arnold Horween, from Chicago, became the first Jewish captain of the Harvard University football team in 1920. He became coach in 1926. His accomplishment was unprecedented. Mr. Ellef points out in his book Horween played and coached in the early years of the NFL. His brother, Ralph, also played at Harvard and in the NFL. They were they were the first and only Jewish brothers to play in the NFL until Geoff and Mitchell Schwartz. Horween was an anomaly in a period when it would be very hard to conquer Harvard’s Jewish quota and the politics of the time featuring Father Charles Coughlin and the Klux Klan. Recently, two of our Temple Members who donate on a regular basis to Our Father’s House which we as a Temple do also received a wonderful tour of the facilities. Here is there article of what they experienced on their visit. Thanks to Andrea & Peter Accornero for their contribution to the Temple article. For decades members of our Temple have given food donations to Our Father’s House Soup Kitchen at 2380 Hammondville Rd. (same as Coconut Creek Parkway), located approximately a half mile east of the Coconut Creek Turnpike entrance. After the last visit we made we struck up a conversation with Jim the director. He asked us if we had ever toured the facility. We accepted and were astonished how well the facility met the challenge of providing for the homeless in our community. The spotless kitchen serves over 150 hot meals a day in addition to providing bag meals for those in need. Donations from local grocery stores, restaurants, food distributors, religious organizations and supply houses satisfy this huge demand. Individuals also donate non-perishable items such as canned goods. But the needs of the homeless hardly stop with nourishment (although without it everything becomes secondary). Clothing, employment, an atmosphere of hope, encouragement and the reintroduction of working to satisfy their needs are available to anyone, without preaching of evangelizing. As we toured the facility he told us the many stories of how they came about getting the necessary equipment in order operate smoothly. The facility was desperate for but could not afford to install shower facilities on premises ($75,000+). The phone rang one day and they got word that FEMA was getting rid of portable bathrooms with shower facilities. Another problem solved! That’s how the facility gets things done. The Sheriff’s Dept. provides transportation in the form of bicycles from their stores of unclaimed bikes. The individuals have to volunteer for 15 hours in order to receive one. This instills an appreciation for the bike and also encourages commitment, which was likely lost as a result of their plight. Bus passes are given to others in need of public transportation. We left the place in awe of how much they do. Here is a list of the items they always need: -Women’s clothes - Men’s clothes - Socks and underwear -Small pillows - Sheets – Comforters-Towels and washrags - Diapers -Tote bags-Shoes - Canned food - Hats They would appreciate the items be clean and folded. Membership in the Liberal Jewish Temple is now open at $100 person. High Holiday tickets will be available soon. For general Temple membership, call Iris Arlan at 954-532-5268.

A Crisis Revisited In America By Lawrence E. Correia It seems that in America every decade we have a series of economic, social and political crises that affect the very soul of our democracy. In the 1920s through the 1930s, we had the Great Depression, with many Americans looking to European dictatorships and home grown right wing extremists (KKK) as the answer to our economic and social woes. World War II brought an end to the admiration for the fascist dictatorships and other authoritarian regimes in the 1940s. It did seem that there was some change in the direction of improving racial and cultural attitudes in the military and educational sectors of our society, yet there was a new shadow looming in the future. In the 1950s Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph Macarthy preached a message of hate and fear that America was being infiltrated by communism and any concepts of socialism such as Medicare and Medicaid. His orations claimed that there were XXX number of communists in our government, in our news and entertainment industries. Many innocent individuals were targeted as enemy agents and lost their jobs, while many others had their reputations and careers destroyed. Fear and hatred once again prevailed throughout the country. This fear and concern even affected my own family, when my parents said, I must never speak of socialized medicine for people who could not afford medical care. If I did speak of these things, my parents would be branded as socialist of communists and lose their jobs and be forced to move to another state or city to protect the family from hate groups. This insanity affected many groups across the country especially if you had Slavic ancestry. In July 1966, I was stationed by the Air Force in Greenland, where I met another airman Ronald Stack. We teasingly asked him if he was related to the actor Robert Stack of the TV show The Untouchables. Ronnie replied, “No I am not related” and added that his birth name is Stahoviak. He said, “My father had to legally change our last name to protect the family, from hate groups. We are Polish and our Slavic name sounds very Russian.” Eventually rational and reasonable members of the Republican party were able to get rid of that Wisconsin senator not through violence but rather through an election process and tried to provide a more stable political atmosphere in the country. It seems that 60 years later we have a new era of hate and fear that is gripping our society again. We Americans have not yet learned from our past mistakes. The legacy of anti-anybody because religious, political, racial, social beliefs and practices still permeates in many areas of our American Democracy. Tell me who would have believed that any loyal American would assault this nation’s capital building or that any ex-president would collect a group of citizens to prevent the legal counting of election ballots because he lost an election. Why would any state governor attack any group of individuals because they have cultural beliefs other than their own. What state governor (in a country that believes in freedom of speech and press) would ban books that describe a minority’s struggle for equality in America. Tell me why there is state legislation that deny 52% of the American population the right to control their physical medical care? I have always believed that the almighty alone will judge each human’s thought, word and deed. Nowhere in the Torah, Bible, Koran or any other religious document has that authority been relegated to the courts or governors or state and federal legislatures or congresses. Yet these organizations and individuals have assumed this power. In so doing, they have neglected their responsibility of protecting the lives of children and minorities. Just so they can continue to get financial funding to maintain political power. Have we Americans forgotten what the preamble to our Constitution states and why it is worded that way. Well now is the time to refresh our memory. WE THE PEOPLE of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, provide for the common defense and secure the blessing of liberty for ourselves and our prosperity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. When will we Americans finally wake up and legally let our local, state and federal legislators, judges and leaders know that WE THE PEOPLE will no longer tolerate the lack of caring that they have demonstrated. If we don’t wake up and let them know our anger and disappointment in their performance and decisions, and that we will fight them legally through the one weapon we can use, THE BALLOT BOX. If not then WE THE PEOPLE will be surrendering our Democratic Republic to the evils of authoritarianism and dictatorship. Then we can honestly say good bye to the land of the free and the home of the brave, because we have opted for FASCISM and POLITICAL SLAVERY. pen to paper The Insider is not responsible, and assumes no liability for the content expressed in any contributed material.

The INSIDER JULY 2023 19 If You Now Have Equity In Your Home, Consider Doing A Trust! By Martin Zevin, Attorney In 2012, I wrote an article recommending against doing a Revocable Living Trust if you were “underwater” with your mortgage. I wrote that article just before the housing market in South Florida began to recover. The last five years have seen significant increases in property values. This has resulted in many homeowners now having positive equity. In the third quarter of 2015, 322,701 homeowners in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties owed at least 1/4 more than the market value. However, according to a front-page article in the May 29, 2023 Sun Sentinel, the median sales price of a single-family home in Broward County rose 2.7% in April to $575,000. Therefore, most homeowners now have equity in their home. In the article I wrote in 2012, I advised clients to live long enough to see their properties increase in value to exceed the amount of the mortgage; at that time, they could come back to me to discuss a Revocable Living Trust. That time is now here. Without equity in your home, it does not make sense to pay an attorney the fee and costs involved in creating a Trust, since you would be burdening your heirs with a property that has a negative equity. However, once that equity turns positive, you are doing your heirs a favor by eliminating the time and money involved in going through probate. Remember also that the Trust is called a “Revocable Living Trust.” This means that, as long as you are alive, the Trust remains with you. You can always sell your home and buy a new home as Trustee of your Trust. You do not need to change the Trust unless you want to change the beneficiaries for the new property. You can also buy additional properties, in Florida or out of state, as Trustee of your Trust. Therefore, if you now have equity in your home, you should seriously consider creating a Trust. Transferring your home to the Trust will not change your homestead or your real estate taxes. In addition, regardless of the equity in your home, it is extremely important to have current advance care directives to protect you if you are incapacitated. These include the Durable Power of Attorney (which must specifically include the address of your property) as well as the Designation of Health Care Surrogate and Living Will. New Florida laws could mean that your current documents need to be revised. Traffic Violations The speed limit on Wynmoor Circle is 25 mph. The speed limit in the villages is 15 mph. There is absolutely NO PASSING on Wynmoor Circle and all STOP SIGNS MUST BE observed by residents and guests. All residents and guests are required to abide by Wynmoor Rules and Regulations.

20 JULY 2023 The INSIDER CALLING IN YOUR GUESTS AHEAD OF TIME, WILL ALLEVIATE LONG LINES AT THE GATES! It’s summer and here are a few scams in which to be on the lookout so you won’t get fooled: Tech Support Scam: Recently a woman filed a report after a scammer claiming to be from Microsoft Tech Support stole $1,000 from her bank account. She was at home when her desktop computer starting acting up. A pop-up warning, supposedly from Microsoft, came up on her computer. It told her to call a phone number and they would help her fix the computer. She granted the man who answered her call remote access to her computer. A little later the man called her back and asked her to pay $4,500 because he found more “viruses” on her computer. She became suspicious, but not in time to prevent the scammers from taking $1,000 out of her bank account. If something similar happens to you, keep in mind that it is a scam. If you think there may be an issue with your computer, you should update your security software and run a scan. If you need help, go to someone you trust. Real tech support representatives don’t magically call you right when your computer starts to malfunction. They rely on you to call them. Grandparents Scam: Someone scammed a near 80-year-old Coconut Creek woman out of nearly $10,000 in what’s called the “Grandparents Scam.” The victim recently received a phone call from someone posing as her grandson. He told her that he had just been involved in a car crash and was about to be charged with DUI. He then provided her with a phone number to his “attorney” and told her to call him. The phony attorney said she needed to send $8,000 right then or else her grandson would be officially charged with DUI. To the victim’s credit, she tried to call her grandson and his father, her son, but they didn’t answer. The bad guys kept the pressure on until she sent the money. The so-called “attorney” was on the phone with her the whole time at an ATM coaching her on how to send it. It’s important to remember that the legal process doesn’t work this way. No attorney will demand a bunch of money in order to prevent a loved one from being charged with a crime. If you get a similar phone call, don’t do anything until you’ve talked to the family member who is supposedly in trouble. We’re confident you’ll find out it’s a scam. Social Security Phone Scam: In this scam someone claiming to be from the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] calls the victim and convinced them to send money. The phony IRS agent tells them their social security numbers were comprised, and they need to go to the store and buy gift cards or else they would be arrested. The victims buy gift cards and gave the numbers and pin numbers on them to the scam artist. Remember that the IRS would never call you up out of the blue and threaten to arrest you. Any time someone asks you to buy gift cards for any reason, remember that’s a huge red flag that it’s a scam. All three of these scams have been featured on the department’s Facebook page as Scam Alerts. You can find these scams, and more, by visiting our Scam Alert page at www.coconutcreek.net/scam SUMMER SCAM LOOKOUT DON’T BE A VICTIM Safety Solutions By Scotty Leamon, Public Safety Information Officer, Coconut Creek Police Department

The INSIDER JULY 2023 23 Herbs, Flowers, Seeds and Minerals By Marcus Smith, Licensed Acupuncture Physician Looking for alternatives to prescription medication? Chinese Herbal Medicine may offer a non-toxic option for those seeking natural solutions to certain physical and mental ailments. By using herbs, flowers, seeds and minerals, its aim is to heal the body by targeting internal imbalances that have led to a person’s health issues. Unlike many prescription medications which are designed to manage symptoms and be taken for the life of the patient, this holistic approach, developed and refined over a period of 5000 years, focuses instead on treating the underlying condition. Once the internal imbalances have been corrected, the need for continued herbal therapy ceases. With the increasing awareness of the dangers of prescription medication abuse and addiction, more and more people are turning to Chinese herbal medicine as a safer and healthier alternative. It offers a range of health benefits that are effective without side-effects. These benefits include improved digestion, enhanced immunity, increased energy levels, reduced stress and anxiety levels, reduced inflammation (inflammation is the root cause of 80% of our health issues) and improved overall wellbeing. By using it as an alternative to prescription medication, individuals can harness the power of nature to promote better health and wellness, without having to worry about dangerous side-effects or other negative consequences. When considering alternatives to prescription meds, it is crucial to keep in mind that not all options are created equal. While Chinese herbal medicine has been shown to be safe and effective for many individuals, non-toxic does not always mean risk-free, especially when taking certain medications at the same time. Consulting a qualified and experienced practitioner is essential, as they can recommend the safest and most effective treatment option for each individual’s specific needs. Ultimately, taking a proactive and informed approach to healthcare can help individuals find the alternative therapies that work best for them. For more information about Acupuncture and herbal medicine and how they may benefit you and your family and friends, please visit our website at MarcusSmithAcupuncture.com or call us directly at 954-907-1036.

However, it can be helpful to know some of the most commonly used idioms and phrases in order to quickly and accurately express yourself in English. Idioms, in particular, are a great way to make your English sound more natural and native-like. Here are some of the most useful and common idioms and phrases that you can use to improve your English. Idiom: “Once in a Blue Moon” This idiom is used to describe something that happens very rarely. For example, if you say you go to the movies once in a blue moon, it means you don’t go to the movies very often. Phrase: “The Best of Both Worlds” This phrase is used to describe a situation where you can enjoy the advantages of two different scenarios. For example, if you say that you have the best of both worlds, it means that you are able to enjoy the benefits of two different circumstances. Idiom: “Piece of Cake” This idiom is used to describe something that is very easy to do. For example, if you say that a task is a piece of cake, it means that the task is very straightforward and easy to complete. Phrase: “Think Outside the Box” This phrase is used to encourage someone to think of creative or innovative solutions to a problem. For example, if you tell someone to think outside the box, it means that you want them to consider alternative solutions that are not immediately obvious. Idiom: “Break a Leg” This idiom is used to wish someone good luck. It is typically used before a performance or presentation. For example, if you tell someone to break a leg before their presentation, it means that you are wishing them luck and success. Phrase: “Hit the Books” This phrase is used to describe studying or doing research. For example, if you say that you are going to hit the books, it means that you are going to spend some time studying or doing research. Idiom: “Cut to the Chase” This idiom is used to tell someone to get to the point quickly. For example, if someone is talking and you tell them to cut to the chase, it means that you want them to get to the point quickly and avoid unnecessary details. Phrase: “Cost an Arm and a Leg” This phrase is used to describe something that is very expensive. For example, if you say that a product costs an arm and a leg, it means that the product is very expensive.

Please open your minds as I did to what this wonderful club has to offer you. I hope it will open new doors to you as it did for me. I moved to Wynmoor July 2020 right in the midst of Covid so you can imagine how lonely that was for me. Not too long after clubs began to open, a friend approached me and suggested I join the Nature and Arts Club. I questioned why, but I wrote the check anyway. Boy am I glad I did. WOW! What wonderful people run this club with something to offer for everyone. Want to visit nature, the trips are available. The museum trips are fantastic and visiting farms and nature centers was great fun. In addition, monthly brunches including exceptional programs such as Bee Keeping in Florida to Gregory Dirr, a wonderful visual artist are among the many exciting programs we offer. The best part of the club is the new friendships I have made along the way. I wish you all a healthy and happy summer and please watch for upcoming membership news and future programs. Most importantly, join me next year please.

The remedy for back side couch implants is Night Tennis. The Night Tennis program has been run for 16 years under the guidance of Jo Ann Perreault and Dennis Levans. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m., with a warmup period beginning at 6:15 p.m., they shepherd players to a good time. Mondays and Tuesday’s fee of a dollar is requested, no charge on Thursdays. The money collected is used to purchase balls, so they always play with new balls and the surplus funds are used for pizza parties. The required skill level is 3.0 – meaning being able to serve, and return serve effectively and to maintain one’s part in a rally. If this describes your ability, please come, and join the players for exercise and socializing under the lights. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Pickleball Club By Mayda Coombs We are in the middle of summer and no matter how hot and steamy it gets you can still find people playing Pickleball.

The INSIDER JULY 2023 49 Whitehall, Enjoying Fine Decorative Art In An Elegant Setting By Barry Isaac Several months ago, I returned to the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida. This is an elegant mansion built in the early 20th Century for Oil and Railroad Magnate, Henry Flagler and his wife, during America’s Gilded Age. This mansion has been and still is called Whitehall. The Flagler Museum is primarily an outstanding museum for those who appreciate Decorative Art. The following rooms on the First Floor were very noteworthy; The Drawing Room (for entertaining female guests; decorative use of aluminum), The Dining Room (French Renaissance Style, The Billiard Room (for entertaining male guests, Billiards, Pool, Snooker), The Library (has Renaissance Period features), and The Music Room, a very dark room with paintings arranged Gallery Style and a huge organ. On the Second Floor, I was especially fascinated by Henry Flagler’s very ornate Master Bedroom Suite decorated in Louis XIV Style with its original furniture. I also appreciated The Blue Room, The Heliotrope Room, The Yellow Roses Room, and The Silver Maple Room, reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite Period reflecting early 20th Century British Taste. The Flagler Museum seemed to deemphasize the oil paintings that it has on display by placing most of them in the very dark Music Room. Nevertheless, I saw fine 19th and early 20thCentury Paintings by the following Spanish Painters; Martin Rico “Canal,” Emilio Sanchez Perrier “Harvest Scene,” and Raimundo Madrazo (a stellar portrait of Henry Flagler) I also liked Jean Aubert’s “Le Lecon D’Harmonie” and a splendid portrait by Thomas Lawrence, “The Duchess of Cleveland.” I also relished Henry Flagler’s Railroad Car reflecting the grandeur of Rail Travel in the early 20th Century. Parking is free. The twenty-six dollar cost of admission is a bit high, but you only live once. So, enjoy, this special place to relish Decorative Art and early 20th Century Florida History. For information, call 561-655-2833. Portrait of Henry Flagler Martin Rico Canal Emilio Perrier Sanchez
