A Word From Your
Recreation District Chair
Joe Klosky
Club Champions Doug McGrath & Judy Gagnon
The Annual Club Championship was held on Saturday & Sunday ( March 28th
and 29th ). This 2 day Tournament brings out our most dedicated Golfers to try to
earn the Best Man and Best Lady Golfers to earn the title of Men’s and Ladies Club
Champion.
This year we had 95 Golfers. The field was divided into 5 Flights for the Men and
3 Flights for the Ladies. Both days the pace of play was very pleasant for all. After
golf on Sunday, the golfers came back in the evening for hors d’oeuvres and Awards
Presentation of Crystal Bowls for the Flight Winners and Silver Cups for the Club
Champions..
The Winners of the Flights based on 2 day Net Scores and awarded the Crystal
Bowls are located on page 27.
Junior Golf Program to begin June 3rd
The 2014 Barefoot Bay Junior Golf Program will begin on Tuesday, June 3rd. The
program is free of charge to all kids ages 8 – 18 that live in or have family members
that live in Barefoot Bay. The first week of the program (June 3rd and 4th) is primarily for those kids that have never played and who might not have their own equipment. They will be fitted for clubs and given instruction on safety and golf etiquette.
The following weeks all junior golfers will be given lessons on various aspects of
playing golf. They will learn skills in everything from driving to putting and will learn
the rules of the game as well. From the fourth week until the end of summer vacation,
the kids will have weekly lessons every
Tuesday and a friendly tournament every
Thursday. At the end of the season there
will be a banquet.
The emphasis on this program is to
teach the kids here at Barefoot Bay how
to play golf and give them ample opportunities to play during the summer. The
kids are also taught lessons through golf
that help them in many different situations that they will face throughout their
life. These include courage, perseverance, self control, fairness, honesty, creativity, and improving their self esteem.
Program participants are encouraged
to come out and play golf all week long
to improve their skills. They will have
opportunities to play on the golf course.
Junior golf Program agendas and registration information can be obtained now
at the Pro Shop or online at www.bbrd.
org. Click on golf course, then junior
golf.
Another exciting month, filled with some complex as well as some ordinary issues
surfaced. I would like to share some of the Board’s deliberations with you homeowners.
The Facilities Committee recommended the replacement of Building F. Mr. Coffey
presented a design package. A parking plan was also presented. The Board passed
a motion unanimously to proceed with the two phase plan, building and parking.
Several homeowners suggested the Board hire an architect.
The Facilities Committee recommended the plan and design of a West side recreation and restroom project. Motion was made to submit the West side recreation
complex restroom project via referendum to Barefoot Bay residents, the motion died
for lack of a second. Motion was made to abandon the restroom project and transfer
the budgeted amount to the Building F replacement project. Motion passed 4-1 with
Mrs. Crouse opposing. The budgeted amount of $56,672.77 will be transferred to the
Building F replacement project.
The Facilities Committee also recommended that the Board review the system of
public lighting since recent happenings impaired homeowner security. The Board
agreed that the issue would be debated further during the next budget workshop.
The DOR ballot, concerning rental restrictions and policy was back on the drawing
board. The Board agreed that additional work is required to properly address this
complicated and sensitive issue. The Trustee workshop was scheduled for April 15th.
In August 2014, a visitor crashed into the West entrance wall of Barefoot Bay.
An engineering firm stated that the best course of action was to replace the wall.
Following a long waited debate, the Board unanimously voted to accept a quote of
$10,210 to replace the wall. This cost is expected to be substantially mitigated from
proceeds from the insurance company.
As part of the LWCF grant program, a contract for $20,880 plus permit fees was
awarded for the Free water observation deck. The Board approved this project by a
4 to 1 vote with Mr. Klosky declining.
The annual evaluations of the SDA and Community managers will be on the
Trustee agenda for the April 24th meeting.
The new ABM Superintendent is Jeff Lloyd. Mr. Lloyd brings 12 years of related
experience to the Bay.
The selection of the new golf course operations manager and Pro has narrowed
to five candidates. An opportunity to meet and ask questions can be obtained at a
notice posted at the Pro shop.
DOR violations for the month totaled 182, with 131 brought into compliance.
The accounting firm of Moore, Stephens and Lovelace issued their annual report
for FY2014 which ended September 30, 2014. They also offered an opinion on the
District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. They concluded
that they did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that they considered to
be material. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The effectiveness of the District’s internal control was not part of the audit.
The District’s assessments for year 2015 collected to date is $291,508.88 or 92%.
Finally, our new Finance manager Kimi Cheng was favorably cited by the accounting firm for her efforts during her initial eleven months, she has reduced our outside
payroll by about $15,000. Doing our own bank reconciliations are a great savings.
Congratulations Kimi.

Protecting Your Personal Insurance Policies
Imagine the federal government
deciding to tap into your homeowner’s,
auto, or life insurance as a source of easy
money to bail out a financial firm that
made bad bets on Wall Street. It seems
far-fetched, but it’s a possible scenario
under the Dodd-Frank financial reform
law.
This 848-page (single-spaced)
law gave regulators with the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in
Washington broad new powers to liquidate certain kinds of financial companies
if the company is viewed to be in danger of default or threatens the financial
system. As written, the law calls into
question long held authorities of state
regulators to protect assets of insurance
companies set aside for the benefit of
the company’s policyholders. This could
potentially put large sums of insurance
premiums in jeopardy.
While serving in the Florida legislature, I devoted a great deal of my time to
working on all kinds of insurance issues
ranging from workers’ compensation to
interstate insurance fraud and property/
casualty insurance reform. Florida is a
large state with many different kinds of
insurance related resources and challenges. As I shared with my colleagues
in a 2011 congressional hearing, homeowner’s insurance premiums collected in
Florida totaled $7.7 billion, while property/casualty insurance premiums totaled
over $37 billion. Premiums on life and
health insurance were over $42 billion.
Those are big numbers, but behind the
numbers are real people and real families.
I don’t know anyone who likes to
pay insurance premiums. No one likes
to think about the day when they might
need that policy to be there for their home
or to help provide financial security after
the passing of a loved one. But when our
insurance policies function as they are
supposed to, we appreciate their value to
help us manage life’s many risks.
The only way that system works is
if there is money available to pay your
claim. However, depending on how an

It’s time to enhance your life with the MDI Denture Stabilization System!
What is the MDI Denture Stabilization System?
Laugh,
talk, live
with comfort and confidence
Is your loose denture causing you to:
• miss out on life’s simple pleasures?
• miss eating your favorite foods,
like steak or corn on the cob?
• be afraid to laugh, smile or speak
in public?
The MDI system consists of a miniature titanium alloy that acts like the
root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorperated into the
base of your denture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball,
and the retaining fixture acts like a socket with a rubber O-ring.
The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds
the denture firmly in place. When seated, the denture gently rests
on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-mobility while
withstanding natural lifting forces.
insurance company may be structured,
there’s a lot of uncertainty these days as
to whether or not state insurance regulators can protect insurance policies from
being raided to prop up an affiliated
financial firm that is under stress and
looking for a “bailout.”
Unlike other financial institutions,
insurance companies have been successfully chartered and regulated solely
by the states for the last 150 years. State
regulators have long held the authority to wall off an insurance company’s
assets that are set aside for policyholders to prevent your premiums from
being used as a slush fund to rescue an
affiliated financial company. However,
those authorities are inconsistent based
on the organizational structure of your
insurance company. More clarity is also
needed in the event that an insurance
company experiences difficulties and has
to be resolved.
To solve this problem I recently filed
bipartisan legislation to ensure that no
matter how your insurance company is
organized, your personal insurance policies won’t be at risk to prop up a bank or
financial institution that’s affiliated with
your insurance company. Our legislation
also makes sure that these protections
are in place in the event of another financial crisis regardless of whether state or
federal regulators are the ones responsible for dissolving or liquidating the
company.
This common sense legislation will
safeguard insurance policies, ensure that
claims continue to be paid and reinforce
the authority of state insurance regulators to protect consumers of insurance
policies. Senators David Vitter (R-LA)
and Jon Tester (D-MT) have also introduced a bipartisan companion to our bill
in the U.S. Senate.
I have always opposed bailouts, especially when there’s no accountability for
wrongdoing. As your representative in
Congress, I will continue to fight for policies that protect consumers, enforce our
laws and hold bad players accountable.

As I write this article for the Barefoot
Tattler, it is sad that I report we had
to cancel our last fund raiser event
“Bon Voyage Luau” before the Summer
break due to lack of participation by
the homeowners. The monies raised
from these events are given out to the
various charities in the area, such as the
BB Community Fund, BB First Baptist
Food Pantry, Ecumenical Food Pantry
in Roseland, Joe’s Club, and any other
organizations in need.
Cathy does a wonderful job for the
HOA on these events and our Board
thanks her for all of her efforts to make
them a success. Some of the plans for
the fall and next year will be a Halloween
Dance, Thanksgiving Day Dinner, New
Year’s Eve Dance, and Elvis will also be
back next year. She is planning some
other events as well. THANKS CATHY!
The last meeting before the summer
break will be held on May 12th beginning at 7pm. Our guest speaker will be
CYAN MEGENTA YELLOW BLACK
Ms. Jennifer Helin, of Seniors Helping
Seniors, as well as on the Board of Triad,
and Helping Seniors of Brevard. It should
be interesting, so please come and support your BBHOA.
Also, the HOA in May celebrates the
coming Summer with an “Ice Cream
Social”. So remember the date May
12th, and enjoy some ice cream and
social time after the meeting.
Safe travels to all.

PERSONAL INJURY
A Word From Your
County Commissioner
Trudie Infantini
County Commissioner, District 3
On March 24th I had the privilege of
delivering meals to homebound seniors
with the Brevard Meals on Wheels
Program, during the National March for
Meals Campaign. Thank you to Linda
Wells from the Meals on Wheels and
Seniors at Lunch Program for all she does
for our seniors, Candy DiBerardino volunteer coordinator for Brevard Meals on
Wheels and the delightful volunteer who
graciously accompanied me in delivering
meals. This was a great experience.
I want to thank Lt. Bert Gamin, Agent
Joe Martin and Agent Wendy Crowe for
joining me at the Barefoot Bay Library,
April 16, to discuss safety of our residents. Too often trusting individuals
open their hearts and houses to folks
in need. Generosity like this is found
throughout Brevard County. However,
I appreciate the tips provided by the
Sheriff’s staff to prevent future tragedies
from hitting so close to home.
UPCOMING SERIES; I am planning
a series of article segments exploring
Robert’s Rules of Order, an important
guidebook that can be used to lend structure and effective leadership. This series
will look at Ten of Robert’s Rules that are
important for maintaining decorum and
consistency in your meetings. The entirety of Robert’s Rules of Order is available
for free at any local library, or online.
First up: debating. A debate occurs
after a question is stated by the chair, and
a member has taken the floor to address
it. Unless the item falls under the undebatable category, it can be debated; this
list includes resolutions, amendments,
reports, motions, and communications
to the assembly. The only exception is
if by a two-thirds vote, the assembly disposes of them without debate. To avoid
getting off-topic, debate is restricted to
only the pending question — the last one
brought up by the chair. Speakers are
expected to debate politely, and avoid
directly referring to anyone by name (this
prevents overt accusations, etc. that can
devolve into an argument). In lieu of
addressing other individuals, the speaker
directs remarks to the presiding officer.
To begin debate, you rise and address
the chair by their title, and wait to be recognized. Once you have the floor, make
a motion for debate, and wait for someone to second it. After this, the chair will
ask, “Are you ready for the question?”
The question is now open to debate, and
you may talk about it for up to ten minutes, unless the group decides through
a two-thirds vote that you can speak for
longer. As a rule, you cannot debate the
same question twice in one day.
In A Nutshell: Unless it’s undebatable or has received a 2/3 majority vote,
every item must be discussed in depth, in
a courteous, neutral manner. To debate
an item, you must be recognized by the
chair, your motion seconded, and questioning proceeds from there. You can’t
speak more than twice or longer than 10
minutes.
Why It’s Important: This rule ensures
that everyone understands the language
and implications of an item to be passed,
ergo they should, after debate, understand the repercussions of passing it. In
speaking about an item neutrally and
avoiding addressing people by name, it
promotes respectful discourse. It also
sets forth guidelines for debate to prevent filibustering, as well as ensuring that
everyone who wishes to join the debate is
heard at least once.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the deserving caregivers out there. Also, the
Robert’s Rules series will continue if I
hear positive feedback the readers want
more, otherwise the series will stop, so
call to tell us what’s on your mind. Our
number is 321-952-6300.

A Word From
Resident Relations
By Susan Cuddie
Deed of Restrictions
This is the first of a series of monthly articles I will write to help better communicate aspects of the Deed of Restrictions(DOR) in Barefoot Bay and the value to all
property owners when it is followed. Many homeowners purchase homes in Barefoot
Bay because it is a Deed Restricted Community, others because of the amenities.
Some purchase homes without fully understanding how a DOR community functions.
The DOR is a very important document, and compliance with it, will result in preserving the Community for the future, and protecting the value of your home. The DOR
applies to all residential properties in Barefoot Bay, whether occupied by the homeowner, their family or renters. Copies are available on our website www.bbrd.org, or
in Resident Relations located at 931 Barefoot Blvd, Suite 1.
This month I would like to discuss the DOR requirement for Architectural Review
and Control Committee (ARCC). Permits are also available on our website and
Resident Relations office. There is no charge for an ARCC permit.
A permit is
required for all modifications to the exterior of your home. This includes, but is not
limited to, repairs, maintenance and additions of: doors, windows, siding, roofs, driveways, patios, fences, sidewalks, lattice, and screen rooms. The ARCC meets every
two weeks to review permits for approval.
One of the ARCC requirements in the DOR is for a lamp post approved by ARCC
installed in the front of all residences and maintained in operational condition. This
is a very important requirement. Without the residential lamp posts, the streets of
Barefoot Bay would be very dark. This is the reason the ARCC guidelines require
clear, amber or white bulbs. The use of a day/night sensor and/or LED bulbs will
make it cost efficient to keep the light on.
If you are heading up north during the summer, please remove all projectiles from
your yard, which includes lawn furniture, have your trees trimmed and for the safety
and security of your neighborhood -keep the light on.
Next month I will address Article III Section II Condition of Property.
Please feel free to contact me at 772-664-4839, or suecuddie@bbrd.org at
Resident Relations or Tom Guinther, Trustee liaison to Resident Relations and DOR
at tguinther@bbrd.org if you have any specific questions regarding this month’s article
or any aspect of the DOR.

GOLF CARTS NEED
TO ABIDE BY DRIVING
RULES
This morning I was taking my daily
bike ride. It was light out, and there was a
golf cart coming down Gardenia with the
side curtains flapping all over. It looked
like a giant Vulture and it was speeding.
I bike, like you should, on the right side
of the road, same as traffic goes, and
am very vigilant about seeing and being
seen. I have all sorts of lights and use
them when it is slightly dark. This was
daylight. So the cart comes to my side,
the wrong side for this nitwit driver, and
it is moving. I thought it was a joke, and
she, a woman driver on a cellphone,
about two feet from me, swerves as I
yell what the F... are you doing. I end
up stopping, falling to my left, she says
sorry, still talking on the phone, and
continues flying down the road. I was
lucky there was not another car near or
she didn’t run over me with her wheel. I
don’t know who heard me, but there was
some select language yelled toward her
and after I got back on, with no damage
but mad as hell. These carts, no lights
most of them, they are too cheap to put
on lights but want to use them as motor
vehicles. They speed all over the Bay,
sometimes overloaded with even kids in
the cart, going the wrong way to boot.
Does someone have to be killed before
the Bay or the Sherriff’s office wakes
up. I have been complaining for months
and months and they do nothing. The
stop sign on Navajo is run through by
the same nitwits over and over. What
is going to happen here? I am sending
this to the Sheriff and the Press Journal
and also to Infantini. This is a serious
matter. You want to be cheap and use
a cart instead of a car, then learn the
rules, or get ticketed. I had it with all this.
Somebody better do something, or there
is going to be legal action. The same
people abusing driving, driving rules,
and look at you like they are brain dead,
when you yell out to them, to slow down
or stop for the stop sign.
George Cogswell
DRIVERS IN BAREFOOT
BAY ARE THE WORST
There seems to be an epidemic of
breaking driving rules in Barefoot Bay.
This is nothing new, it has been going
on for years, here and elsewhere.
I
tried to figure out why this is happening.
We have an influx of foreigners in this
country, and in their countries they have
no rules for traffic, and if they do they
are ignored. I was told by a taxi driver in
Puerto Rico, Red means go. In Rio, it was
worse, they said, don’t even think about
you driving.
Like Lemmings, they see this, and
many people do the same in the United
States. When you learned to drive, you
made sure you stopped at stop signs.
They used to say Full Stop. It was put
there for a reason, not to roll through
like they do now, or ignore altogether,
like many do in Barefoot Bay. Navajo,
a few houses up from me, is repeatedly
rolled through by many from that section
of Barefoot Bay, coming on to Barefoot
Circle. They actually accelerate, as they
approach the sign. They have no idea
who is biking, or walking with a dog, or
a kid even being pushed in a stroller, a
visitor to their grandparents.
There is a blind curve near the canal
where I live, many ride bikes against traffic, which I don’t, and someone, soon will
be killed by one of these drivers. They
are non-conforming idiots that have no
regard for anyone but to get where they
want to be, in a hurry. Where are you
going? You are here to relax, not rush to
some bar or restaurant? If you are late
get out earlier and take your time. These
roads are a complex system of curves
etc. People are always backing out of
driveways, and someday, someone will
get hurt bad, or killed.
The day after St. Patty’s Day, I was
biking as I usually do in the early morning, and this Golf Cart was flying toward
me, in the middle of the road. I can only
think it was someone, late or maybe
still drunk from the night before. It was
a woman, and she decided to come on
Page 5
my side, the right side to drive on, and
go against traffic. She was on a cell
phone, the idiot was about a foot from
me, I yelled a few expletives like what
the F...... are you doing, she veered off
to my left, as I tried to stop and get off
she almost hit me, still on the phone, still
flying by, and yells I’m sorry. Sorry? You
almost killed me you jerk, and you never
even stopped to see if I was alright. I fell
to the pavement.
It took me hours to get over that one.
If you drive a golf cart, then follow the
rules of the road, right side traffic, and
stop at stop signs, and stop speeding.
They modify the carts to go faster.
For What? You have a car, I am sure,
but you now have a cart that you want
to be a car.
Some of you people have a cart full of
kids, no safety belts, and I would hate to
see any cart, collide with a car, you are
dead, no exceptions.
So I will still ride with traffic, I watch
all the time, and anticipate some jerk not
stopping at a stop sign. Just a reminder, if you do kill someone, it may be
Vehicular Manslaughter, and is it really
worth it. The Sheriff has been called a
hundred times and although here now
and then, nothing has changed.
I purchased this lot, last house was
destroyed by Jeanne, and replaced it.
Ever since I bought here, there have been
speeders, and at night it is worse.
They think you are stupid, they speed
the same cars, maybe 2 or three times to
harass you. You are not even in the same
league if you want to pull that stuff.
Barefoot Bay is getting to be a place
with no vehicle rules being followed,
and nothing is being done. Maybe a few
speeding tickets or other moving viola-

SEEMS TO ME:
· A word to the wise ain’t necessary - it’s the stupid ones that need the advice.
· A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
· Due to current economic conditions the light at the end of the tunnel has been
turned off.
· If you’re going to do something tonight that you’ll be sorry for tomorrow morning,
sleep late.
LIFE IN BAREFOOT BAY:
I was asleep in my favorite chair one afternoon when I was awoken by the sound of
the doorbell. I shuffled over to the door and when I opened it, I saw a beautiful young
woman standing there. “Oh dear!” she said. “I’m at the wrong house.” “Sweetheart”,
I said, “You’re at the right house, but you’re about 40 years too late!”
Down near the “A” building one day I came across a 93 year old man sitting on a
park bench crying. I asked him, “ Why he was crying?” and he replied, ”Well, I just
got married to a twenty-five year old woman and every morning she makes me a
wonderful breakfast, and we have fun together laughing and relaxing. In the afternoon
she makes me a wonderful lunch and then we have fun together laughing and relaxing again. At dinner time she makes me a wonderful supper and then we relax and
enjoy ourselves.” I said, “Seems to me you shouldn’t be crying! You should be the
happiest man in the world!” He says, “I know! I’m crying because I can’t remember
where I live”.
MEN and WOMEN:
· Here’s all you need to know about men and women. Women are crazy and men
are stupid. The main reason women are crazy is because men are stupid.
· You should never underestimate a woman’s ability to make anything your fault.
· Women don’t want to hear what you think. Women want to hear what they think
- in a deeper voice.
· If women can have PMS then why can’t men have ESPN? Why is ‘PMS’ called
‘PMS’? Because ‘Mad Cow Disease’ is already taken.
· The old proverb says: “It’s better to have Loved and Lost then never loved at
all”, but, it seems to me, sometimes, “it’s better to have loved and lost then loved
and won.”
· Figuring out what a woman wants is easy. Just pay attention while she’s screaming it at you.
QUOTE OF THE MONTH: Groucho Marx:
· “Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.”
REMEMBER:
· It ain’t what they call you, it’s what you answer to.

HAPPENINGS
May is just around the corner, and at
the South Mainland Library we are looking ahead to warmer weather and the
start of summer. We are working hard
to find ways for you to beat the heat and
exercise your mind while taking advantage of all the wonderful materials the
library has to offer.
We’ll start the month, on Tuesday
May 5th at 2pm, with the next film in our
series “Movies You May Have Missed.”
Although I can’t put the title of this
selection in the paper due to our licensing restrictions, you can find out if you
call or visit the library. The themes in
this month’s inspiring and entertaining
film are universal. Did you ever have a

time when you wanted more for yourself
than the future your father envisioned for
you? Were you ever awestruck by the
vastness of the universe and excited by
the technology of our space program?
Did you ever have a wonderful teacher
who pushed you to be greater than you
ever believed possible? If so, you are
bound to enjoy this movie, starring Jake
Gyllenhaal, Laura Dern and Academy
Award winner Chris Cooper. It tells the
story of a group of teenage boys--the
“rocket boys”, growing up in Coalwood,
West Virginia, who look beyond the coal
mines that are their heritage. Aided by
their teacher and guided by their dreams,
they build and experiment with model

rockets with the goal of winning the
national science fair and earning scholarships to college. Their path is bumpy and
sometimes comical, but always uplifting.
On Tuesday May 12th at 2pm, join
us for the return of Kevin Gidusko of
the Florida Public Archaeology Network.
He’s going to tell us about archaeology
in (almost) our own back yards when
he presents “Archaeology along the St.
John ’s River.” The St. Johns River has
played an ever-changing role in the lives
of Floridians for thousands of years.
Prehistorically, the river provided food,
transportation, and a geographic connection between cultures living from the
source to the mouth. Historically, the
river supported missions, plantations,
and military outposts. Exploration is not
limited to land; famous archaeological
sites on the river’s bottom add to our
knowledge of Florida’s past. Come and
hear all about this fantastic resource and
learn more about your state.
Just to round out the month, please
consider dropping by on Friday May
22 at 2pm for a chance to view the first
film in our new movie series, “From the
Vault”, which will feature documentaries
and other nonfiction presentations. Our
first selection will be “the untold story of
a city’s legend.” Surely you have seen
the photo somewhere: a group of workingmen unconcernedly eating their lunch
while perched on a steel girder dangling
850 feet above New York City. Who were
these guys? Who took the photograph?
Why has the image become so iconic?
Time Magazine described this film as
“part detective story, part homage to the
immigrant experience,” and it will fill you
with nostalgia for the city that so many of
you once called home.
And don’t forget our book groups! The
“Haven’t Got a Clue” Mystery Reader’s
Group will meet on Thursday May 21st at
2pm in the library meeting room to discuss “Designed to Amuse”—the mysteries of the British author Rhys Bowen. On
the same day, but at 3pm in our reading
room, the Third Thursday Book Group
will share their thoughts about PRAYERS

“The income and/or payment information we have on
file doesn’t match the information you reported on your
tax return. This could affect your tax return; it may cause
an increase or decrease in your tax, or may not change it
at all.”
Tax Notice Tips - Seven Things to Know If You Receive
an IRS Tax Notice. Did you get one of those scary audit
notices from the IRS in your mailbox? The good news
is: you are not alone. Every year, millions of letters and
notices are mailed out to taxpayers. If you received an IRS
tax notice, just keep these seven eFile Tax Tips in mind:
1. Stay calm and don’t panic. The IRS is a bureaucracy
and many notices require little attention by you and can be dealt with simply and
painlessly.
2. You might be asked to make changes to your account or provide additional tax
information. The notice you receive normally covers a very specific issue about your
account or tax return. And yes, you might be asked for more money.
3. Each notice will have specific instructions on what to do next.
4. In case you received a notice concerning a correction made by the IRS, you
should review any changes and compare them with the information on your tax
return. If you agree with the correction, no reply may be necessary unless a tax payment is due.
5. Should you disagree with the correction made by the IRS, be sure to respond
as requested. Explain why you don’t agree and keep records of your correspondence
with the IRS (include documents and information you want the IRS to consider, along
with the bottom tear-off portion of the original notice). Mail your tax information to
the IRS address shown in the upper left-hand corner and allow at least 30 days for a
response from the IRS.
6. If you have questions, call the phone number on the top of the notice. When you
call, have a copy of your tax return and the notice on hand and write down the ID of
the IRS agent to whom you speak.
7. It is very important that you keep copies of all your records and correspondence
safely stored in case of a tax audit.
As one additional comment on notices received from the IRS: Before you call IRS
you would do well to call the income tax return preparer who did your work and get
their ‘take’ on what to do at this early stage. If your preparer was seasonal and you
cannot get ahold of them, or if you did your return yourself . . . call or email me and
let’s discuss. I’m here for my Tattler Tax Column readers – but you need to make
the contact first. (NOTE: Thank you for the many recent complimentary comments
of the value of the Tax Column. Your suggestions and needs are what the column is
all about.)

Q – I am experiencing difficulty paying my mortgage. What are my options?
The more people I talk with about this
the more confused I get.
A - The mortgage foreclosure process
is quite complicated. To better acquaint
you with the process, here is an overview
of your available options.
HOME
MORTGAGE
LOAN
REINSTATEMENT: If you exercise this
option, to retain your home you’ll need
to bring current your mortgage payment
arrearages regarding the total past due
amount, and resume making payments
on your existing mortgage. Negotiate
directly with your lender for waiver of
late fees.
HAFA: Another way to retain your
home and avoid foreclosure is testing your
eligibility for a government funded program – the Home Affordable Foreclosure
Alternative (HAFA) Program. You may
contact HAFA directly at 800-995-HOPE
for more information and an application.
Most mortgage lenders considering
loan modification utilize a “waterfall”
underwriting approach. First, the home
owner financial data is submitted to
HAFA for eligibility evaluation. Since
HAFA is government funded, the private
sector lender now has a partner sharing
the default risk. Those deemed ineligible
for HAFA participation then receive consideration for lender internal loan modification programs. Most of those modifications involve lowering monthly payments
and extending the mortgage loan, with
past payment delinquencies back-loaded
into the final years of the loan.
DEED-IN-LIEU: Some folks are looking for a way out. Those feeling that way
may opt for a “Deed in Lieu” exchange.
This resolution option would allow you to
deed back the property to the lender. A
move out date is agreed to by the parties. Sometimes relocation assistance
from the lender – “cash for keys” – can
be negotiated as part of the deal.
There may or may not be a deficiency judgment which you may be
financially responsible for - that would
be subject to negotiations. A deficiency
judgment occurs when the foreclosed
CYAN MEGENTA YELLOW BLACK
home sale price turns out to be less than
the remaining mortgage loan obligation.
Forgiveness of debt also brings tax consequences, so it is always important to
consult with your tax advisor.
SHORT SALE: This option allows you
to sell the property for less than what
is owed on the mortgage - if the lender
approves the deal. You would remain in
the house until it is sold. There may or
may not be a deficiency judgment which
you would be financially responsible for
– again, that would be subject to negotiations.
FORECLOSURE LITIGATION: This
road may be where you are eventually
headed down if you do not contact your
lender to participate in any available
mortgage loan modification programs.
Please be mindful that no action taken
by you eventually forces action by your
lender.
If you are served with a lawsuit seeking Mortgage Foreclosure, remember
that there is only a 20 day deadline to file
a timely response to the lawsuit served
upon you. The foreclosure litigation process usually takes 9-24 months from service of the lawsuit until sale of the home
at foreclosure auction. Each case turns
on its own facts. What can be safely said
is that the days of mortgage foreclosure
cases sitting dormant for years without
an assigned court date for resolution are
mostly over.
Once served, retaining counsel may
be cost-effective because the assertion
of knowledgeable affirmative defense
pleadings may defeat the summary adjudication process often adopted by lenders actively litigating foreclosing cases
in Florida. A good lawyer may force the
lender to consider loss mitigation modification more seriously.
Once litigation starts, mortgage loan
modification may still occur - but the
litigation train doesn’t come to a halt
until a modification agreement is signed,
sealed and delivered. It is incumbent on
the home owner to monitor the process
and accelerate it as needed by providing
full cooperation and financial disclosure.
Barefoot Tattler / May 2015
Seniors Need To Plan Their Visits To The
Doctor
You probably wouldn’t go to a law
office or an accounting office without
planning ahead. We need to get organized for our visits, since there will be
a limited amount of time in the doctor’s
office. Start with your chief complaint,
the reason why you are there. Arrange
your thoughts and write them down
prior to the visit. Primary care physicians make their diagnosis on the past
and the current medical histories that
you give them. We need to think about
what is bothering us most of all. If you
have symptoms, when did they begin
and what makes them better or worse.
A first rate doctor will investigate your
symptoms in detail.
As seniors age, some physicians are
apt to characterize their problems as a
result of simply growing older. This may
not be so simple. If I have a pain in my
right arm and the doctor asks me how old
I am, and tells me it is probably a result
of my aging, then I may have to look
further for a doctor who considers other
possible causes.
Some of us have a list of complaints,
which might overwhelm a scheduled
visit. Since time is often limited to 15
minuets or so, pick out a few of the most
significant issues so that the doctor can
focus on them. Speak about your visits
to other doctors who have treated you
and have prescribed medications. It is
a good idea to remind these specialist
doctors to send diagnostic and treatment
information and a list of prescribed medications to your primary physician when
you see them. Not all specialists automatically submit all of this information.
Report any infections, injuries or trips
you have made to the ER. Many of us see
our primary physician only once or twice
a year and it important for the doctor to
keep your history up to date.
Always bring a list of your current
prescription and over the counter medications, including dosages and frequencies to your office visit. It is even better
to bring the medications themselves. Be
familiar with what you are running out of
so you can ask for renewals. It is a good
idea to call your doctor’s office when
you begin to use any new medications.
In older patients this is critical, because
medications interact with each other and
can have unexpected dangerous results.
Before you leave your doctor’s office
get a specific follow up plan. Ask the
doctor to have his office give you a copy
of the plan. It is a good idea to take notes
during the visit or take someone with you
who can help with this. Take note of any
medication changes or additions and
any diagnostic tests that are being prescribed. Ask the doctor or the staff who
will be responsible for making the calls to
set up specialist referrals and diagnostic
appointments. If you walk away from an
office visit without understanding all that
the doctor is telling you, there is a serious
problem. Don’t let this happen because
the doctor seems rushed. Ask him to
slow down. Have him explain any medical language that don’t you understand.
If you get home and still don’t understand
some instructions, call the office and get
clarification from the doctor or his staff.
Seniors without a primary care physician may want to contact the Sebastian
River Medical Center, Physician Referral
Line at (888) 671-7762 for information about board certified physicians in
this area. As a senior, you may want to
inquire about physicians who specialize
in seeing seniors. I would seek a physician known for the caring for patients
with senior issues. I would want a doctor
who is concerned with every pill I take,
every consultant I am sent to, every
test result that comes back and every
symptom I experience, no matter how
insignificant.
As we get older, we tend to acquire
more doctors and one hand sometimes
doesn’t know what the other is doing.
I prefer a detail oriented Primary Care
Physician (PCP), but I have to do my
part to make sure that he gets all of
the information from my urologist, my
cardiac specialist, my dermatologist, my
gastroenterologist, my neurologist and
my surgeon.
While we all have our personal preferences, I prefer a (PCP) who practices
as I have outlined. You may have other
priorities. Here in Barefoot Bay there is
a wealth of experience that our residents
have had with our local physicians. Most
will be willing to share their experiences
with you.

A word from Dave McAllister
VA Health Care Eligibility - Net Worth No
Longer A Factor
The Department of Veterans Affairs is
updating the way it determines eligibility for VA Health Care. Effective 2015,
VA eliminated the use of net worth
as a determining factor for health care
programs and co-payment responsibilities. Instead of combining the sum of
a Veteran’s income with their assets to
determine eligibility for medical care and
co-payment obligations, the VA will now
only consider a veterans gross household
income and deductible expenses from the
previous year. The annual requirement
for updated financial information has also
been eliminated. The VA now uses information from the Internal Revenue Service
and Social Security Administration to
automatically match individual Veteran’s
income information which reduces the
burden for veterans to keep their healthcare eligibility up-to-date.

• VA CLAIM FILING UPDATE - A new
law requires Standard Form use
The new laws require all claims to the
VA be filed on standard forms, regardless of the type. The traditional informal
claims process is being standardized.
A new form, 21-0966, Intent to File a
Claim for Compensation and/or Pension,

• DAV CHAPTER 155 TO ESTABLISH
AN AUXILIARY. We need help to better
serve our veteran population. Eligibility
for membership in the auxiliary requires
a relation to a family member (past or
present) who has served in the United
States Military and received an honorable discharge. Interested applicants
(male or female) can contact Paul Weck,
Adjutant, at 772-202-4003.
MEMORIAL DAY, MONDAY, MAY
25th, 2015. Memorial Day is a Federal
Holiday for remembering the people who
died while serving in the country’s armed
forces. It Is a day for ALL citizens to show
their respect for our veterans that have
passed. While it is customary for veterans organizations to take the lead and
organize activities to pay tribute to our
deceased veterans, all of our Community
Leaders and social clubs are encouraged
to participate in those activities. Please
call 772-538-1411 if your club wants to
participate in the parade.
Our Memorial Wall will be updated
and on display in the grassy area next
to our Memorial Monument. Residents
are encouraged to place “stick” flags in
the grassy areas between the monument
and wall as patriotic gestures. While we
all have a good measure of patriotism,
many do not know how to display it!
So, here are some suggestions:
1. If you have a flag at your home,
please fly it!
2. Show up for the parade and program
3. Learn the words to our National
Anthem and sing with us!
4. Salute or place your right hand over
your heart when the
National Anthem and Taps are being
played.
5. Salute our flag when it passes to
your front
6. Bring a “Stick” flag
7. Join us in solemn prayer.
8. Thank the veterans for their Service.
9. Be attentive to invited guest speakers.
10. Encourage the youth of your
neighborhood to attend the Memorial
Day Program.
The parade from the Tennis Court
area will begin at 10:45 a.m. (Depending
on the number of marching units). Watch
the marque board at Veterans Way for
official times.
That’s it for now! Stay Healthy and
Happy!

Stroke Awareness Month
Every forty seconds, one person in
the United States suffers from a stroke.
Strokes are the fourth leading cause of
death in the United States, and that is
why it is important to educate yourself
on causes and symptoms of strokes and
what preventive measures you can take to
avoid suffering from a stroke.
Q. What are the causes of a stroke?
A. A stroke is caused when blood flow
is constricted to the brain. Strokes are
sometimes referred to as brain attacks
because they can also occur when the
blood vessels surrounding the brain burst.
Q. How many people are affected by
strokes?
A. According to the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC), almost 800,000 strokes
occur in the United States each year. In
2008, 133,000 of those strokes were fatal.
Many people survive strokes, but often
not without consequences. It is estimated
that there are 7,000,000 stroke survivors
living in the United States who are over
the age of twenty. There are certain side
effects that can take place which can
decrease the quality of life for a person.
Some of the side effects can include:
• Paralysis or weakness on one side of
the body
• Problems with awareness or thinking
• Numbness
• Depression
• Pain in hands and feet
Q. Are there different types of stroke?
A. There are two types of stroke:
Ischemic stroke occurs when arteries are blocked by blood clots or by the
gradual build-up of plaque and other fatty
deposits. About 87 percent of all strokes
are ischemic.
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a
blood vessel in the brain breaks leaking
blood into the brain. The risk of death is
higher in hemorrhagic strokes, however
this type of stroke is only responsible for
thirteen percent of strokes.
Q. What is a mini-stroke?
A. A mini stroke, also called a transient
ischemic attack (TIA), is a stroke-like
occurrence that only lasts for a few minutes and usually causes no permanent
damage. Symptoms of TIA are similar to
those of a stroke and can include numbness or paralysis in the face, arm, or, leg;
slurred speech; difficulty understanding
people; and dizziness or loss of balance.
If you or someone you know has experienced these symptoms, you should seek
immediate medical attention. In the event
that the incident is a TIA and not a stroke,
an evaluation is still needed to take preventative measures minimize the risk of a
stroke in the future.
Q. Who is considered at risk for a
stroke?
A. There are many contributing factors that are related to having a stroke.
Treatable factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity,
physical inactivity, sleep apnea, the use
birth control pills, and cigarette smoke.
Many of these factors can be reduced
through lifestyle changes or managed
through the use of proper medication.
There are some genetics-based factors that put people at risk. People who
have a family history of heart disease
or stroke, are older fifty-five or older,
African-Americans, and males have an
increased risk for stroke.
Q. How do I know if someone is suffering from a stroke?
A. If you believe that someone is suffering from a stroke, but need to confirm
the symptoms, you can utilize the FAST
method. FAST stands for:
Face – ask the person to smile to see if
one side of the face droops
Arms – Ask the person to raise both
arms and look to see if one side falls
downward
Speech – Check for slurred speech by
asking the person to repeat a series of
words or a sentence
Time – If the person shows the above
symptoms, act quickly and call 911
immediately
Q. What can I do to limit my chances
of suffering from a stroke?
A. You can reduce your chances of
suffering from a stroke by changing some
lifestyle habits. Maintaining a healthy
blood pressure range, quit smoking,
understanding cholesterol risks, controlling diabetes, and managing an exercise
and diet program are all way that you can
lower your risk of suffering from a stroke.

MUSIC TOO LOUD
I couldn’t agree more with the “Music
Too Loud” letter in the March issue.
Music at Pool #1 and the outside deck
is incredibly loud; I go to a different pool
when I know there is going to be ‘entertainment’ . . . I could still hear the ‘music’
at Pool #3.
George Cogswell
LOUD VEHICLES
I live off Micco Road.
The volume
of loud car radios, mufflers, and motorcycles and of all things, trucks applying
their Jake Brakes passing by, make me
wish I were deaf. I think Barefoot Bay
should be a quiet zone, After all we are a
residential area.
Karen Manzo
SPEED LIMIT IS 25 MPH
!!!!
I was not going to waste my time again
to write about this subject because past
efforts have proven useless. However
after just nearly getting blown off my
driveway by a Jeep Cherokee going at
least 40-50 mph past my house then
past a woman trying to walk her dog,
my anger is so great that I must write
this at this point. This has been an
ongoing problem for years but is getting
worse and worse every day. First of all,
for those of you who do not seem to be
aware, the speed limit in EVERY area
of the Bay is 25 mph. I cannot figure
out why that seems to be something so
many cannot grasp. Some of you are
Snowbirds who do this and so I guess you
are “on vacation” and seem to forget that
for the rest of us, this is our home, our
neighborhood, our safe place, our place
to walk, walk our pets, ride our bikes,
etc. The rest who do it, and there are
many, live here all year like I do and you
do not care either. This may come as a
shock to a lot of you, but you share this
space on earth with other people. You
are being selfish, self-centered, uncaring, unkind, thoughtless, dangerous and
you are risking innocent people’s lives.
Are you really so very important that
you need to risk our lives so you can get
somewhere so fast ??? Well let me tell
you, you are NOT more important than
my elderly neighbors who want to go for
walks, walk their pets, ride their bikes,
just feel safe. Nothing about you is more
important than the safety of your neighbors. And if your speeding by my home
is more important than my safety, I suggest you look into the mirror and see the
face of selfish indifference.
And one more thing, for you people
who walk their dogs and every time the
poor thing stops to sniff, you feel the
need to yank the dog by the neck and
yell at it, I remind you, the walk is for
the dog and that is what they do. If you
do not like it, then find another home for
your dog.

LIVING IN MAYBERRY
We moved to Sung Harbor Village
approximately two years ago. Enough
light can’t be put on the pleasure it has
been for us to be a part of such a peaceful and friendly community. As we walk
in our area, we are always greeted with
neighborly smiles and cheerful “Hellos”.
After we decided to clear our river lot
along Route 1 several men approached
CYAN MEGENTA YELLOW BLACK
us offing their assistance. Not an easy
task! There was a handicap ramp at our
house that we did not want. About eight
men dismantled the ramp, and then set it
up in our community for another person
in need. In the fall we returned from the
North and found a box of cookies with
a “Welcome Back” card on our doorstep. This is very normal behavior for
our supportive neighbors. Most of the
residents here are always helpful, caring
and pleasant. We treat each other with
respect and dignity. The HOA meetings described in the previous newspaper columns is greatly exaggerated and
unrecognizable. Unfortunately there are
a few very unhappy people living in our
village. They seem to have a problem
fitting in. They don’t appreciate, or are
not willing to accept our civil and affable
atmosphere. They prefer to demean our
community with negative letters and belligerent language towards their immediate neighbors on a regular basis.
This is all so unnecessary and harmful.
We don’t have to like each other, but we
do need to be civil and to respect each
other’s presence. We are people living in
a “location that is excellent,” and where
the “views” are outstanding. Don’t be a
“Village Grouch”. Try to become familiar
with the hard working, honest volunteers
of the HOA Board, and acknowledge
their demanding efforts. Let’s end the
aggrieving clashes, and attempt to be fair
while trying to resolve our differences in a
productive manner. We live in a beautiful
community, let’s try to keep it that way!
Jean Richardson
DEFENDING SNUG
HARBOR VILLAGE (AKA
“MAYBERRY”)
This is in response to the April issue
Sound Off letter entitled “Mayberry
rises to the occasion again”. Unlike that
author’s rambling rant, I’ll try to keep this
short and sweet.
First of all, if I remember correctly
Mayberry was an idyllic place to live.
Comparing Snug Harbor Village (SHV)
to Mayberry to me seems like a compliment. Perhaps the author should reassess his moniker for SHV if his intent is
to demean it. He sort of defeated his
intention and purpose.
Next, I found the author’s comment in
his first “Mayberry” letter debuting in the
March issue of the Barefoot Tattler, complaining about a neighbor’s handicapped
ramp that was installed due to one of the
occupants having a broken leg, first and
foremost in extreme poor taste. That
ramp was doctor recommended. It was
the only way the person could get into
and out of their home. Calling it “an
eyesore” was not only of juvenile mentality, but cruel as well, and a personal
affront to someone put in a circumstance
beyond their control. I’m sure the author
would be singing a different tune if it
were he or one of his family members or
friends in need of the same. The comment was totally uncalled for. Attacking
a person’s need with limited abilities for
any kind of assistance whether its permanent of temporary, is not only mean
and uncaring but Un-Christian like as
well. A comment such as this takes
away any and all respect and credibility
for that person.
Just have to address the author’s
comment in the April issue of “Sound
Off” about the individual wearing “his
had backwards, even at the meetings”.
Number one - what on earth does that
have to do with anything? And number
two, if the author is going to get his panties all in a wad over that, please explain
to me difference between that and his
“hero Andy” who wears a foo-rag all the
time….”even at the meetings”. What’s
good for the goose doesn’t apply? So it’s
bad etiquette for the backwards baseball

Tom Guinther and the recording secretary Dawn Myers for
the really great job they both
did on the memorial tribute to
the late deputy Barbara Pill,
who was killed in the line of
duty. This pair really went overboard with the way the wall in

We are wrapping our season for year
2014/2015 and is was a successful year:
(1) We paid for two $250 scholarships at
Bayside High School, honoring two good
young men off to serve our country in
college and the Navy. (2) We sponsored
a young man for Boys State. (3) All of
our bills are paid and we have approximately $2,800 in the treasury. (4) We
achieved 100% paid membership. (5)
Both pork dinners were a financial success.
For those Legionnaires staying year
in the Bay, your Post will host the annual
Memorial Day parade on Monday, May
25, 2015, starting at 9:30 AM. Please
turn out to support your Legion.
Just a reminder - Adjutant Nate Bliss

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
UNIT 366
The American Legion Auxiliary,
Unit 366, is happy to report that our
President Rhoda Barnett is on the
mend and will be returning to Barefoot
Bay at the end of April. Welcome
back Rhoda.
The American Legion
Auxiliary will be having its annual
election of officers in May. The nominating committee has done a fine job
of obtaining candidates for any open
positions.
On May 20, 2015 there will be a
stand down at Post 117 in Palm Bay
for homeless veterans. Legionnaires,
as well as the Auxiliary, will be donating various items for the use of these
veterans. Articles being collected
include toiletries items, sleeping bags,
socks, shirts, jeans, underwear, hats,
gloves, shoes, etc. You can donate
these items by calling Sue Reddy or
Rhoda Barnett. The Auxiliary is still
collecting soda can tops for the elementary school in Sebastian.
Thanks to all who contributed to our
Poppy Donation Days. All the money
collected goes to veterans and active
military personnel. A large donation
went to the Vietnam and All Veterans
Transitional Center on Fee Avenue in
Melbourne.
Several of our members took the
trip to Eustace, Florida to the Boggy
Creek Camp. This camp was originally
started and financed by Paul Newman
and General Schwarzkopf. It provides
a week long experience for those children with serious health infirmities.
Our members brought afghans, beautiful handmade bears and a contribution. It is a place of joy and relaxation
with a cost-free great camping experience for all children regardless of their
financial circumstances.
If your husband, brother, or uncle is/
or has been a member of the American
Legion, please feel free to join us. If
you are a relative of a deceased veteran you are also eligible for member-

the month at Buildings D&E.
For God and County,
Sue Reddy, 1st Vice President

BAREFOOT BAY MUSICIANS
Calling all musicians! Formerly the
Barefoot Bay Community Orchestra, we
are now the Barefoot Bay Musicians.
Instead of playing solo in your living
room, here’s an opportunity to get
together with other musicians and jam.
Our plan is to get musicians together
for weekly informal jam sessions with
the future hopes of also forming a small
band to play music that people can listen to or even dance. No matter what
instrument you play, we’d love for you
to join our group. If you play piano or
keyboard, just bring your fingers as we
have a keyboard on site. We also have a
trumpet and clarinet available if needed.
Our sessions are Thursdays 1-3:30 pm in
Building A. For more information please
call Rob Davis, President at 772-2027824. Feel free to come by and check it
out, listeners are welcome too!

Boat and Fishing Club
The BB Boat and Fishing Club welcomes you to join. This is formerly
the BB Boat and Yacht Club. We have
changed the name and rules for membership. If you are interested in boating
and/or fishing and would like to join,
contact Dan Higgins (772-663-6134)
for an application. We no longer have
the requirement to own a boat, but you
must be a BB resident. Our dues are
$10.00 a year. Our meetings are the
second Friday of each month at 7:30 PM
at Bldg E, except June, July, August,
and September. We also have an outing
of some kind each 3rd Thursday of the
month, this may vary. Our next meeting
will be May 8th, at which time an application would be available.
Last
month’s activity took us to
Manatee Island Bar and Grill in Fort
Pierce. We had a nice time. The setting
on the Inlet was great and the food and
camaraderie were excellent.
At our regular business meeting we
were very happy to see so many new
faces and we welcomed 6 new people
to the Club----- Robert and Ann Edward
from NY, David and Barb Fulcher from
KY, Don DelGiorno from Las Vegas, and
Edward Dunham form CT. Welcome
aboard!
Our speaker, who was to talk about
the Lion Fish which have been showing
up in the Lagoon, was unable to come
at the last minute due to other commitments.
We did have a report by our
Safety Officer, Joe Kirkman. Joe is
an active member of the CG Auxiliary,
patrolling our waterways to keep boaters
safe. He discussed Cape Canaveral area
boating regulations with the increase
in Cruise Ship activity. The CG has to
escort each ship in and out of the harbor. The CG is a definite police presence there now. Canaveral is 40’ to 45’
deep which is tight for the cruise ships to
maneuver, keeping them in the center of
See Club News Page 17
Barefoot Tattler / May 2015
Club News from Page 16
the channel. The Coast Guard is doing a
great job there to keep us all safe.
Joe also reminded us that any boaters
that have the older Red Dog Life Vest, an
inflatable vest, the only way that it counts
as a life vest is if it is worn. Joe showed
us an Emergency Locator Beacon which
boats going off shore should be equipped
with, he even recommended that river
boaters carry one.
He is available to do CG Auxiliary
boat safety inspections, this might keep
you out of trouble with your safety equipment up to date, this a free service. To
schedule an inspection contact George
Rosenberg 772-664-3475. Joe informed
us that a Non-property damage citation
carries a $5,000 fine (this citation would
be equivalent to reckless driving).
Our fishing report this month was
somewhat encouraging. We had a report
of 3 or so small snook being caught in
the Sebastian River, by the bridge. Diane
netted some bait fish and used those to
catch a blue, a ladyfish, a catfish, and
some others. This was her first time
fishing in the area, of course she was a
happy camper. Lots of tarpon were spotted. Dan Higgins reported that 17 miles
off-shore he caught mangrove snappers
and blue fish.
On a sad note, the club marked the
passing of two of our Charter members;
Grace Pearsall and Winnie Potzer, we will
miss them greatly. They were both very
active along with their husbands.

BRITISH HERITAGE CLUB
March 19th Annual Picnic held at
Pool 1 Pavilion turned out to be a perfect
day for a BBQ and had a great turnout
of members and guests all looking for-
ward to a super meal of Ribs, Beans and
Cole Slaw all provided and personally
served by Ray Macht of 2002 Restaurant.
Members were asked to bring a dessert
to pass and the dessert table was a sight
to behold. Topping off the afternoon
was entertainment in the form of “Good
Times” with Dougie, who certainly did
entertain for several hours with his music,
songs, jokes and sing-alongs, he had
everyone asking for more. Definitely a
great new talent well worth listening to.
Tuesday April 14th was the Bon
Voyage Party, a farewell to those heading off in all directions for the Summer.
Judy and George Skene were the Party
Hosts for the evening and they and their
volunteers decorated D&E in appropriate Springlike colors. A new item on
the dinner menu was Raspberry Chicken
Parmesan and Pasta, also Spumoni followed by the 25th Anniversary Cake
provided by the Club. Restaurant 2002
prepared and served everyone with their
usual smiles and good humor, always
making sure that everyone had enough
on their plates. Thanks, Ray.
President Liz Embree began the
business part of the evening with the
Club’s Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance
then acknowledged April Birthdays and
Anniversaries, followed by the reading
of the Secretary and Treasurer’s reports
given by Kaye Andrews and Wayne
Chapple respectively. Liz also mentioned the April 23rd Memorial held at
Concordia Lutheran Church for Elizabeth
Showers who passed away on March 8th
2015. Elizabeth had been very active in
the Club since the mid 90’s and is fondly
remembered for her love of all things
Scottish, she was often the main supplier of Kilts and other Scottish regalia
worn at the Robert Burns Celebrations
held in January at the Scottish Night
dinners. She was deeply touched by
the Club proclaiming her a Life Member
late last year, an Honor given to only
a few. Elizabeth will be sadly missed
by all of her many friends both here in
Barefoot Bay,(her most favorite place in
the world) also Michigan and Indiana and
also this writer’s Cousin, I never knew a
kinder or more hospitable person ever
than Elizabeth.
Liz reminded those members who

CHESS CLUB
Ancient Chess- The Ancient History of
Chess (part II)
In the next phase of the history of
chess, Chaturanga is known as the earli-
Page 17
est ancient precursor of modern chess,
and it flourished in India by the sixth
century. It is the earliest known game to
have 2 critical features found in all modern chess variations. Firstly, it has different pieces with different powers (which
is not a feature in GO and Checkers),
and victory depends on the fate or capture of one piece, now called the king in
modern chess. Other game pieces that
are uncovered in archaeological findings
are considered to have come from other,
distantly related chess-like board games.
Some of these types of ‘chess board
games’ had as many as hundred squares
or more.
In the late 19th century, Captain Hiram
Cox and Duncan Forbes discovered that
the original form of chaturanga was
played with four hands. Other scholars
who studied ancient chess history have
concluded that a 2 handed version probably existed before the 4 handed one and
that it probably then evolved into many
other versions, including the 4 handed
chaturanga version.
One literal translation of the Sanskrit
word “Chaturanga” can mean “Having 4
limbs or parts” and this often means an
army in epic poetry. The ancient name
itself comes from a battle formation
named in the Indian Mahabharata epic.
Ancient Chaturanga was a game that
simulated battle and which was truthfully based on Indian military strategy of
the time. The initial dice and gambling
aspects of the game were later removed
as the game progressed and branched
into newer variations.
Our exhibit in building C during the
Fun Field Day, we had three people that
were interested in joining our club. We
have seven members now. We can use
more. Come join us. There will be chess

At Last! How to Buy a New Heating and Air Conditioning System
For as low as $17/WK with Lower Gas/Electric Bills, and get a FREE 10 Year Warranty!
(But you must act now while the special circumstance that created this unique offer is still available)
Dear Friend,
Right now I have a program that will allow 24 customers to buy a new central air system with no
money down and as low as $17 per week. Actually, with this program homeowners will probably
be able to buy a new system without taking any money out of their pocket. I’ll explain later.
You may be thinking...
“WHY WOULD ONE HOUR MAKE THIS INCREDIBLE OFFER?”
the answer is simple: I bought too many air conditioning and heating systems last summer and I
haven’t been able to sell them all.
Most people wait for their system to break before they think of buying an air conditioner or furnace.
Even if you weren’t having problems with your air conditioning or heating until last year, or if it’s
just old and inefficient...The questions you should ask yourself are, “Is this the year I have to replace it?
Will I get caught in the heat or cold? Are my electric bills too high?” If the answer to any of these
questions is yes, let me turn...
MY PROBLEM INTO YOUR OPPORTUNITY
Every year I have to guess how many air conditioners and heaters to buy to meet the demand; of
course I’m never exactly right. And this year again I’m way off because of the “crazy” weather and I
have 24 “extra systems sitting in our warehouse in the four most popular sizes.
These 24 systems are brand new 2014 models and have full factory warranty.
They are NOT seconds, or “blems” or standard “builder” models. They are factory fresh “high efficient”
air conditioners and furnaces I bought at a much reduced price because of the large size of my order.
I have been able to sell almost all of the systems, but I have these 24 left and I am willing to sell then
at a substantially reduced price to make room for new inventory. I need to sell these systems now!
HERE’S HOW YOU BENEFIT FROM MY PROBLEM
In order to create a demand for these 24 systems, I lowered the price and negotiated a plan with my
finance company to give you a financing program with a low monthly payment that would be
irresistible to those who would normally wait to install a new system. Right now, you can buy a new
high efficiency air conditioner or furnace with NO money down and as low as $17 per week!

THERE IS ANOTHER REMARKABLE ADVANTAGE!
If your central air system is over 10 years old, the money you save on utility cost could be enough to
offset monthly payments on our new system. Imagine that... “Buy a new central cooling and heating
system without taking any money out of your pocket!” It’s like having the utility company buy you a
new air conditioner and heater. Here’s the best part.
IRONCLAD GUARANTEE
I’m so confident that you will save at least 25% on your monthly bills.
(I’m projecting more like 30% to 50%) that I will pay you ‘THE DIFFERENCE’ if you don’t the first year.
There is no way you can lose. If these high efficiency systems were not among the best on the market,
I couldn’t afford to make such a promise.
BONUS
NO REPAIRS FOR 10 YEARS!!! If you act now I will cover all parts for 10 years on all of our Deluxe
Systems.
HERE’S HOW
Just call 772-618-2730 to set up an appointment for your FREE survey. A comfort specialist will come
and measure your home (to determine the availability of the proper size) and explain these fantastic
pricing and financing plan I have created. Don’t forget, I only have 24 matched systems in four sizes.
When they are gone, this remarkable offer ends also.
NO OBLIGATION
Even after we come out and explain the installation, the special financing plan, and reduced pricing,
there is no obligation. If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of the spectacular savings –
that’s okay. I will give you a service certificate worth $50 because you are kind enough to read this
letter and give me the chance to solve my problem. I want you to think well of One Hour Air
Conditioning and Heating even if you don’t buy.
Here’s How...Call 772-618-2730 to set a time for your Energy & Comfort Survey. An Indoor Comfort
Specialist will come byand determine the availability of the proper size system and explain this
limited promotion with fantastic financing and utility savings.
For Greater Comfort.

Obama’s “Love” of America
Former New York Mayor Guiliani
caused a stir not too long ago when he
questioned President Obama’s love for
America. As expected, “The Democrat
Media Complex” had a cow, and tried
to turn it into a tornado. He made that
statement -- thinking out loud -- based
upon Obama’s track record and the dismal failure of his presidency, which has
hurt our country at home and internationally. It may take us decades to recover.
I agree with Rudy. Simply put: if
you loved someone would you want to
“FUNDAMETALLY TRANSFORM” that
person, which are the exact words of
Obama? What would your response to a
marriage proposal be that went like this:
CYAN MEGENTA YELLOW BLACK
“I love you, but I’m going to fundamentally transform you.” “Oh! can’t wait….”
Now Obama, Hillary and most
Democrats, if you judge them by their
actions not their words, do not love this
country. In fact, they have convinced
themselves that when they disparage
America they are in fact “Patriotic”, such
is their twisted upside down world. It has
taken time, but I’m beginning to understand this upside down, twisted worldview. Remember Shakespeare’s witches
from MacBeth stirring their evil brew in
the scalding pot, whining and snarling,
“Fair is fowl and fowl is fare.”, which is a
version of the prophet Isaiah’s, “Good will
be called evil and evil good.”?
Why did America need to be “fundamentally transformed”, which is what
Obama proclaimed. When America happens to be the greatest country in history.
I said “greatest” not perfect. Find me
a country that is. That’s why anyone
not holding the belief that America is
the greatest in history should never be
elected president or dog catcher for that
matter! One who loves America knows
her history and celebrates her uniqueness and greatness. One, who loves and
honors her culture, does not disparage
her culture, while promoting the cultures
of everyone else.
Not only is America the greatest country in history, we have freed the world of
tyranny and the dead bodies of hundreds
of thousands of our soldiers are buried all
over the world as a testimony and monument to that very fact.
We are the greatest innovator because
of capitalism and free markets the world
has seen (Not crony capitalism and
bureaucratically controlled markets the
Democrats give us.). In fact, human evolution has leaped 5000 years because of
America’s ingenuity and creative genius,
which are some of the benefits of liberty.
The facts are in, when America prospers
the world benefits by the improvements
we make in everything from technology
to food production to medicine. All of
this is now in a strangle hold of government regulation and red tape.
President Obama has made the racial
divide in this country worse through his
Identity Politics and Politics of Personal
Destruction, all of which he learned from
his Communist mentors, Frank Marshall
and Saul Alinsky. (I attended a seminar
class at which Alinsky was the guest lecturer and walked away from it thinking I
had just been in the presence of an evil
man. His topic was the political advantages of lying. He dedicated his book,
Rules for Radicals to Lucifer, the father
of lies.) Is dividing America loving her?
In 2008, Obama said that President
Bush raising the debt by 4 trillion was
unpatriotic. Well, he has doubled it to 8
trillion. What does that make him? When
Bush left office our national debt was
10 trillion, accumulated since George
Washington. When Obama leaves office
it will be more than 20 trillion! In two
terms, he will have done what it took the
previous 43 presidents to do. Does one
who loves America bankrupt her?
How can Obama love America? How
can he love us? When he empowers our
enemies. The Muslim Brotherhood and
other groups like them have easy access
to the White House and our Departments
of State. He has handed over Iraq to savages, after we had liberated that country
under President Bush. And now he is
negotiating with Iran, whose chief mullah
chanted recently, “Death to America”.
His negotiations will, in the end, give Iran,
the leading exporter of terror, nuclear
weapons. And he refuses to close our
borders. Not to mention the more than
trillion dollars his illegal amnesty is going
to cost. One who loves America keeps
her safe. Is this keeping her safe?

At home, he transformed (I would
call it corrupted) the IRS into health care
managers and police, to make sure that
everyone has signed up for the exchanges and the nightmare they have been.
While, at the same time, giving thousands of exemptions to Democrat get out
the vote groups and donors. Remember
Harry Reid getting legislations passed
that reduced the cost of Obamacare for
the government bureaucrats by 75 %,
and we foot the bill. Are you feeling the
love? More examples could be listed
here.
Tired of the same old same old. When
is enough going to be enough FOR YOU?
As long as you read this and throw up
your hands and do nothing, you might
as well vote for people, who do not love
America like Obama! We can correct
what’s wrong if more people, like you
and me, cared. It’s that simple. Do you
care?
Conservatives are the only people
on the political landscape that have any
answers. These answers are found in the
Constitution. The Constitution was written to protect the liberty of the American
people and limit the harm power hungry
politicians can do. We need to elect
people, who respect, revere and obey the
Constitution, and vote out of office those
who do not.
The Barefoot Bay Conservative Club
meets the fourth (4th) Wednesday of the
month from 2:30 – 3:30pm in Building D
between the 19th hole and pro-shop.

We played several games with scratch
off prizes. And there were some winners
on the scratch offs too. The members
voiced their appreciation for the steering committee, especially Nate Bliss,
for keeping the organization active. We

HUMANIST CLUB
Humanist club news The Barefoot Bay
(Micco area) Humanist Club will be meeting the second Saturday of each month;
beginning at noon, at the South Mainland
Library, 7921 Ron Beatty Blvd., Micco.
All are welcome to attend. The purpose
of this club is to inform attendees of
human rights issues and the impact of
politics, religion, and other social entities,
on our society. It is open to all viewpoints
and discussions are encouraged. Keep
an open mind, go with the flow. Decorum
is in charge, so please; leave your ego at
the door. (Journals and documentaries,
provided by members, will be sources
for discussion). Just a thought---If your
intolerance has reached a point where
your biggest concern, (in our modern
world), is your neighbor’s kayak, and
dog poop, maybe your life has become
devoid of any real meaning, or maybe
you should consider a more ”monastic”
life style. Either way, you might also
consider avoiding firearms and any sharp
objects.

good meal and heart-warming Christmas
message. We plan a Christmas trip in
early December 2015. (3) We hosted
two different cruises, one covered the
Super Bowl. Unfortunately the zip-line
event was cancelled due to weather. Our
softball guys and gals enjoyed a four
day weekend cruise. More to come next
year. (4) We had a Strawberry Festival
trip to Plant City in March. Everyone
enjoyed the Loretta Lynn show.
Our highlight of the year was the
Ethnic Festival, starting with the large
bake sale in January 2015, thank you
ladies. The Festival day was a complete
sellout of sandwiches, sodas and baked
goods. We did well financially.
Of course we had a powerful St.
Patrick’s Day parade and Dinner Dance.
Pat Callahan will remind me to call the
event “St. Paddy’s Day”. We hosted the
Irish Pipes for the parade, the Irish Lady
Dancers, provided dinner entertainment
along with Jim Moy. I believe that all
agree that we spent you funds wisely.
They will return next year.
I want to go on record that hat we had
several ladies to host the Dinner Dances
as I say Thank You in this letter. Several
other thanks should be noted: Jeannie
Thompson for her work with the raffle
tickets, Barb Maginn as a strong leader
of the membership team, Bob Connelly
for all of his broadcast emails. For
Bob Newton, Jim Whittaker, Frankie
McKenna, for our two key vendors for
50/50 sharing, Ray Macht and his tasty
dinners, Barbara Muhlbauer of Gadabout
Travel for arranging all of our trips. Try
to patronize both Ray and Barbara.
It goes without saying that our Club
is successful because of the leadership
of Edie and Neil Reardon. Also my personal thanks to Sue Reddy for all of her
help. We will restart in November 2015.
God Bless and Safe Travels.

LITTLE THEATER
“SASSY SPEAKEASY” Remember the
name! Little Theater is planning a fun,
sassy and exciting show in November
that will cover the Prohibition Era from
CYAN MEGENTA YELLOW BLACK
the 1920’s to the early 1930’s. Our
committee is working very hard to create a fantastic cabaret style production
that will bring you back in time and
make you smile. We’re looking to grow
the Little Theater Group of Barefoot Bay
and the surrounding area by reaching
out to artists that want to perform in
this production with only two scheduled
evening rehearsals. If you’re interested
in being a part of this sassy show, please
feel free to contact any of our committee
members, Betty Botwinik, Sarah Diana,
Linda Scholefield, Susie Kinscherf , Marta
DeGennaro, Ray and Anita Spencer
(772-202-4609) and Ann Manzo (203942-4190) (772-664-6889) for more
information. A very special Thank You
for all who have supported Little Theater
events throughout the year and look forward to seeing you in the fall.
Ann Manzo - President
STANDING OVATION FOR
LITTLE THEATRE THIS YEAR.
In my Historian role as part of being
Vice President of the Little Theatre, we
can look back on quite a year for our
troupe. Under the leadership of our new
President Ann Manzo, we started the year
successfully by participating in “Trunk
or Treat” in October for the kids in the
Bay. In November, we traveled to the
Vero Beach Theatre Guild’s production
of “Sweet Charity” which was fabulous.
Our kiddie sketch of “The Night Before
Christmas” was held after the annual golf
cart parade in early December.
Rehearsals started for our
27th original production “Hooray for
Hollywood” in January and were held
three times a week for eight weeks until
we opened to sold out audiences on
March 4th, 5th and 6th. We have heard
that we raised the bar to new heights as
our audiences greatly appreciated our
stage efforts with their terrific support.
In mid-March, many journeyed back
to the VBTG’s production of “Gypsy” and
enjoy it greatly. The new by-laws were
passed at our covered dish supper on
March 19th.
Now work has already commenced on
the 2016 show “This Land is Your Land”
which will be a journey around the good
ole USA with songs and sketches of various sections.
A committee is working on our
November 20th, first-ever Cabaret night
which will have a “Speakeasy” theme
and be open to all entertainers in the
Bay who can’t take part in our annual
show but would like to perform. Minimal
rehearsals are planned for this creative
venture so watch for further information.
Membership in the Little Theatre has
topped 70 people and we are always
accepting new talent at our monthly meetings which are held the third
Thursday from October to April.
Finally, DVD’s of the past three Little
Theatre March productions are now in the
South Mainland Library on Ron Beatty
Drive for everyone’s viewing pleasure.
Here’s a chance to relive our shows while
you wait for the next one!
Further information may be obtained
by calling 203-942-4190.

MAINE DAY
On Sunday 22 March we had a fantastic group of over 100 people attend our
yearly “Maine Day” all having a great time.
A great meal was prepared and served
by Ray Macht (of the 2002 Restaurant)
and his crew. This is a time for all our
fellow “Maine Lovers” to get together for
an afternoon of meeting new friends, sharing stories and having a good time. Ken
and Blanche Graybill (pictured above)
won the “Maine Products Basket” which
included items like maple syrup, Tom’s of

Club News from Page 20
Maine products, red casing hot dogs and
of course, some cans of Moxie. Also had
some gift certificates as door prizes from
some of our local businesses. We had
wonderful entertainment. Roy Rochon
entertained us with good New England
type humor. Then Ray Spencer played
his guitar and sang, along with a few jokes
and stories of his own. Ray was also
accompanied by Vivian Garvey in song.

PATHFINDERS TRAVEL CLUB
The Barefoot Bay Pathfinders Travel
Club enjoyed a wonderful trip to West
Palm Beach on Wednesday, March 25th.
As we climbed the ladder into the amphibious Diva Duck, we knew this was an
unusual experience. Our vehicle drove
around the city before entering the water
for a view of the mansions and yachts of
Palm Beach. A high tea lunch and guided
tour of the beautiful Flagler Museum followed, giving us new insights into the life
of Henry Morrison Flagler. On Tuesday,
May 12th, we will depart for Jacksonville
on a sold out trip to the Robotics Factory,
lunch at an Irish Pub, and a tour of the
Budweiser Brewery. On Friday, July 31st,
we will travel to Winter Park to see “Dames
at Sea” at the Winter Park Playhouse
and lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.
On Thursday, September 24th, we will
have a fabulous lunch at the renowned
Mission Inn in Howey in the Hills, visit the
Yalaha Bakery, and enjoy a tour and winetasting at the Lakeridge Winery. Future
trips will include Roger & Hammerstein’s
“Cinderella” at the Dr. Phillips Center in
Orlando in November and Bok Tower for
the holidays in December. Please consider joining us for these trips. Flyers are
located at the daytrip mailbox at 1074
Parkway Lane and at the Building C kiosk
in the Pathfinders box. Space permitting
flyers will be posted at Pools 2 and 3, and

CONCORDIA CHURCH
On Maunday Thursday we gathered to
remember the evening Jesus and his disciples celebrated the Passover meal and
Jesus introduced the sacrament of Holy
Communion. On Good Friday we mourned together as we recalled the suffering
and death on our Lord on the cross.
JOY TO THE WORLD…HE IS
RISEN! On Easter Sunday (also called
Resurrection Sunday) we rejoiced that
Jesus whose birth we remember of
Christmas time, has completed his journey on Earth and has returned to his
father in heaven. The sun rose right
on schedule and bathed the worshippers who gathered outside the church in
our memorial garden at 7:00am. It was
good to see friends, neighbors and fellow
believers respond to Pastor Jim’s words
and music. The Sunrise service is very
informal and the service started with the
singing of “Open the eyes of my heart
Lord.” A perfect song to sing on that
special day. While inside at our traditional service we had a full house and began
the service by singing “Jesus Christ is
Risen Today” After each service was a
joyful time of fellowship and sharing of
colored eggs, doughnuts and beverages.
God loves us with an unconditional
love! Which means no matter what we
do, or what we say, or even what we
think, God still loves us. Need proof? Just
look at his son given to die on the cross
so we may be forgiven. He died so that
we may live.
In John 20-29 Jesus told his disciple
“Because you have seen me you have
believed, blessed are those who have not
seen me yet have believed.”
Come join us for worship on Sundays
at 10:30. All God’s children are welcome!

We are so proud of our music department. Charlene Peacock is an accomplished choir director and Peg Sylvester
is the same as an organist and accompanist. Both have many years of experience and simply a winning way with
people. We just celebrated Easter as I
write this and they brought such wonderful and uplifting music to that service.
Especially appreciated was the music of
trumpeter, Joel Husk. He really added to
our experience.
The choir not only sings in church but
they serve together. This week they are
going to Joe’s Club in Micco, an adult
day care facility for those dealing with
Alzheimer’s. So they take their music on
the road to help others. They have fun in
the process as well, gathering early to eat
Chinese food together beforehand on this
venture to Joe’s Club!
During the school year our music-loving folks practice on Wednesday nights
but in the summer months, we practice
before the Sunday service.
Our services, by the way, we might
describe as “lively traditional.” You’ll
hear organ and piano and regular hymns
to praise choruses out of our Celebration
Hymnal and Presbyterian Hymnbook.
We hope you will join us some Sunday at
10 a.m. For further information please
find us at www.welovefirst.org or www.

FRIENDSHIP CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITY
Community outreach, an important
part of Friendship Christian Community,
benefitted financially from the second
annual Donald O’Connor Memorial Golf
Tournament held recently at Sebastian
Municipal Golf Course. Although not
rivalling the Masters, participants had a
great time. Pastor Ron Thomas and his
son Ron Junior were principal organizers although many volunteers helped to
make this event successful.
“Rising Revolution” - the youth of
our community - recently reached out
in Christian love and concern, passing
out sandwiches to the homeless resting
at Riverview Park, Sebastian. They will
again be out and about soon to duplicate
this act of kindness. This active, lively
group, meet on Monday evenings in the
Fellowship Hall at 7 p.m. for a time of
sharing and fun and extend the hand of
friendship to newcomers.
The third Tuesday afternoon of each
month at 1 p.m. Pastor Ron and some of
his “flock” visit Joe’s Club for a brief service and hymn-sing. It is always a happy
experience to share this time with those
in the care of such devoted staff.
It is our custom to recognize young
people of our community at graduation time. This year Arianna Thomas
will graduate from Sebastian River High
School on June 5th. She will also be
receiving her AA Degree from Indian
River State College! Well done, Arianna!
We have watched you grow from a babe
in arms to the fine young lady who sings
in our choir - and you have seldom
missed a Sunday morning service.
Visit our Thrift Shop on North Central
Avenue, Sebastian. Our hours are 9-3
Tuesday through Saturday. Call 772925-5144 during working hours If you
have any large items of furniture you
would like to donate.
If you are not familiar with Friendship
Christian Community why not stop by
this Sunday at 10 a.m. With the departure of our snowbirds there are sure to be
some vacant seats in our pews. Adult
Sunday School starts at 8.45 a,m, Or
gather in our Fellowship Hall around 9.30
a.m. for a time of “meet and greet” and
light refreshments. The chiming of the
hour signifies the start of our service, a
blend of contemporary and traditional
worship. And it is our boast that we have
the finest a cappella choir in the area
sharing the gospel in song.
We are located at 611 Schumann
Drive, Sebastian. Turn at the traffic
lights and you’ll see us immediately.
Please join us! Our Pastor, the Rev. Dr.
Ron Thomas, Sr. and all of us privileged
to have him as our spiritual leader and
friend extend a warm welcome.
Our telephone number is 772-3885566.

cap, but not for the foo-rag? Double
standard here don’t ya think?
I find it odd (funny actually) that there
is a “select few” here that are the only
ones complaining about how terrible it
is living here in SHV. Wonder why that
is? Some people just aren’t happy unless
they are causing trouble, problems, etc.
What sad, horrible little lives they must
lead. The old adage “ a few bad apples
spoils the shoe bunch” certainly rings
true in this instance.
We absolutely love it here and love
your neighbors (except for a “select few,”
obviously).
Common sense dictates,
although I should point out that saying
“common sense dictates” only works if
you have common sense to begin with,
that if we didn’t like it here we would
certainly arrange to live elsewhere, not
cause an uproar in our wake. Why live
somewhere you are not happy and where
you have alienated yourselves from all
the other inhabitants? Common sense
- some people have it…. some don’t .
Just saying’.
The author doesn’t like it here? Could
the reason possibly be that he has
brought this all on himself? Oh wait, of
course not. A “select few” and the way
they feel, opposed to a 99.9% of everybody else and the way they feel has to be
in the right, right? Yeah, right.
P.S. We’ll help you pack. After
all, that’s what we’re all about here in
Mayberry, neighbor helping neighbor.

GOLF CART
CONTROVERSY
Golf cart regulations for people to
cross from the Midway area to the other
side of Micco Road are too restrictive. At
the end of Midway there is a very wide
crosswalk, which would let you believe
that you would be able to drive your golf
cart across there. This is the perfect
spot to cross with your golf cart if you
are going to St.Luke’s thrift shop. There
are many elderly people that are crippled
or have heart conditions that don’t drive
anymore and their golf carts are the only
means of transportation in Barefoot Bay.
Trying to get to St. Luke’s thrift shop
or the church is almost impossible if
you have to walk across and can’t take
your golf cart. It is dangerous to cross
Micco Road on foot, especially if you
have a disability. Anyone who is elderly
is bound to be hit while trying to cross
Micco Road on foot. The rules now are
that you can’t use your golf cart to cross
Micco Road at Midway, you are restricted
to using the crosswalk on East Drive or
Sebastian Road. I have seen many people use their golf carts on the sidewalk
on Micco Road. There is hardly any foot
traffic there. Common sense should be
used about these restrictions. By keeping this crosswalk at Midway unavailable
for golf carts, the elderly cannot get to St.
Luke’s without putting their lives in their
hands by trying to walk across Micco
Road. For the elderly, golf carts are a
necessity. It should be legal to drive
across from Midway to get close to St.
Luke’s for the elderly. Please consider
making this change.

LIGHT IT UP BLUE
AUTISM SPEAKS.ORG
CAMPAIGN
We were recently issued a letter from
the Recreation District for using a blue
bulb in our post lamp. We have been
doing this for the past three (3) years
during the month of April which is Autism
awareness month. We do this in support
of Autism research and their “Light It Up
Blue” campaign, along with the lighting of
WESHTV2 tower in Orlando, the Empire
State Building plus other public buildings
CYAN MEGENTA YELLOW BLACK
and natural wonders of the world such
as the Egyptian Sphinx and Niagara
Falls. Our grandson was diagnosed with
Autism three (3) years ago and we do
as much as we can to bring awareness
to this disease as anyone would for their
loved ones with any debilitating disease
such as cancer or alzheimers.
We don’t take the DOR lightly; however, there are other violations around
our community throughout the year also
pertaining to lights – light on Gardenia
that has been lit up pink since our move
here in 1998, solar lamps that give
hardly any light or lamps not lit at all.
Our blue light emits more light than any
little 40W clear bulb or solar light. This
also brings up post lamps at holiday
time where residents have exchanged
the clear or white bulbs for red and/or
green bulbs and even orange for halloween time. Should they be excluded? And
why are unlit post lamps OK when the
homeowner is not there? Those that stay
during the summer still need and deserve
a lighted community!

REVIEW TIME
As I have been attending the Board of
Trustee meetings, the Facilities meetings
and the Policy and Procedure meetings,
I have come to the realization that board
leadership is not shared by all members.
(TO LEAD ONE MUST GIVE UP POWER
FOR THE BETTER GOOD)
The items discussed at these meetings
range from DOR criteria, concern and
clarification of definitions, to what are
we going to spend our money on once
the mortgage has been paid. Some of
the discussions revolve around a new
building “F” to changes at building D&E
as well as the ‘19th hole and new and
improved amenities for all homeowners.
Regarding these particular items, I
have suggested (to deaf ears) that the
District contract with an Architect, (
one with expertise in the field) who
would meet with BOT, staff, committees,
HOA and hold public hearings to ascertain, what the community as a whole
wish to accomplish in replacing outdated
Infrastructure, building new structures
plus adding new and improved amenities.
It would be in the best financial interest to have an architect facilitate a cogent
5/10/15 and 20 year plan, outlining all
requirements, wants and wishes so the
Board of Trustees have a guideline on
which to proceed. It seems to me that a
‘piece meal’ approach is not productive,
nor is it cost effective.
I suggest all homeowners attend meetings and voice their opinion regarding
this matter. Remember it is your money.

Peter D. Lynch
Thomas Lee Bartlett
Peter David Lynch, age 84, of
Barefoot Bay, FL, passed away on
March12th. He was born to the late
Maurice Lynch and Helen Doyle Lynch
in Melrose, MA on April 30, 1930.
He was raised in Melrose and
attended Malden Catholic High School
and St. Michaels College in Vermont
where he met his wife of 60 years,
Mary Hale Lynch. After serving two
years in the United States Army, stationed in Korea, he started his career
in business. He was co-owner with his
older brother of the Phillip J. Lynch
Company, a manufacturer’s agent
for plumbing specialties equipment
manufacturer Zurn Industries until he
retired.
His entire life he loved the water
from spending his childhood summers
in Ipswich, MA; his family’s growing years on Cape Cod, MA; early
retirement years in Eliot, ME and
Barefoot Bay, FL; and recent summers in Wolfeboro, NH.
Predeceased by a daughter Deborah
MacLeod, he is survived by his wife,
Mary; his daughter Helen Reardon
and son in-law James Reardon of
Nokomis, FL, son Michael Lynch of
Sarasota, FL; son Christopher Lynch
of Barefoot Bay, FL; son David Lynch
and daughter in-law Leslie Lynch of
Wolfeboro, NH; son John Lynch of
Columbia, TN; and many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces,
nephews and cousins, all of which he
really cherished spending time with.
At his request, there will be no calling hours. A family service will be
held this spring at the family grave site
in Groton, VT
Thomas Lee Bartlett born on
November 14, 1955 passed on March
31, 2015 after a very courageous
battle with cancer. He is pre-deceased
by his mother in 2010. He is survived
by his son, Trevor, brother, Craig and
his sister-in-law Debbie. Also many
friends and cousins.
Special thanks to Hospice for their
excellent care, special people Robin,
Kathy, Corky and Amy who saw him
through rough times. Vic who fixed
things Tom broke and to all the people
and to all of the people at the marina
where he worked. Last but not least,
Becky who was a God sent at the end
and Stuart, his guide along this path.
JOSEPH LYLE FULLER – “Captain”
– 80. Passed away Wednesday, April
1, 2015, of a heart attack after attending a volunteer appreciation picnic at
Sebastian Inlet, Fla.
He spent more than 500 hours volunteering there with his wife, Margaret.
He loved being at the Inlet and around
water. His last wish was to be cremated and have his ashes spread in
the Gulf Stream so he could travel.
Joseph is well remembered for his
sense of humor, so it is only fitting
that he took leave of us on April
Fool’s Day. He is now at peace in his
Heavenly Home. He had gone through
a long period of declining health, was
starting to lose his memory and was in
constant pain.
