ANNOUNCEMENTS
In this edition of the Friendly Neighbor News you will read where we are asking for your help as we work to limit the risk of this most recent surge of COVID-19 cases. The decision to again increase restrictions was not made lightly. In fact, we greatly wrestled with it because we are aware that many are weary of the pandemic. We also understand the confusion that exists because of the mixed messages you read and hear. Ultimately, several factors including the new directives issued by the CDC were taken into considera-tion as we made the decision to reinstitute a limited number of restrictions. The number of positive cases in the surrounding communities has increased greatly, and the hospitals around us are at capacity treating the surge. We too have seen an uptick in exposures primar-
ily among the staff but also with a couple of residents. Additionally, we have experienced several positive cases among the staff. None of these employees will be able to return to work until officially cleared. Although we are aware of vaccinated people here locally who have been infected, it remains benefi-cial to receive the vaccine as the infection rate is drastically reduced, and it appears to also lessen the symptoms if you do happen to contract the virus. The Copeland Clinic continues to have the ability to provide the vaccine in doses of 10, so if you would like to be included in their next group, contact them at 658-5300. Likewise, there are several places in Live Oak including the health department where the vaccine is available. Thank you for your patience and understanding and please keep the community in your prayers as we work through this difficult time.
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS With the rise in infection rates and cases in Suwannee County, we are reevaluating our on-campus restrictions, including mask requirements. The current positivity rate in Suwannee County has risen over the past week and is currently just above

20%. As members and staff move about the county, our risk for introduction of the new variant into the Village community rises significantly. We are asking that everyone pay careful attention and exercise additional precautions. As a reminder, the Village continues to offer free vaccinations through the Copeland Clinic. This process requires a minimum of 10 participants so please contact the clinic to get registered. Vaccinations continue to be proven effective.
Residents: When out in the community please use a mask
when in settings that increase your risk of expo-sure, e.g., large groups, stores, and other settings that involve folks that you do not know their health status. The CDC has issued specific guidance that includes the wearing of masks whether or not you have been vaccinated, and ACV encourages you to choose to follow CDC guidance when possible.
The Village will require the use of masks for all group meetings of 10 or more people starting immediately. The dining room will begin to operate with reduced seating at each table to allow for dining without your mask.
If you become aware that you have a possible exposure, please notify your service coordinator, wear a mask when outside of your residence, and monitor yourself for symptoms: fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, temporary loss of taste or smell, flu-like respiratory and digestive problems, muscle aches, and fatigue.
Please exercise caution when traveling, and please limit guests from outside of the community. We ask that all guests continue to be screened, and that your service coordinator be notified of any over-night guests. Screening locations are the IC and the Lodge office.
We have reinstated the requirement for mask wearing while using Village bus transportation.
Other specific requirements for the use of services will remain in effect.

MOVIE MATINEE Saturday, August 7, 2:00 p.m. - OPR
This biographical film, set during the rise of the com-munist state in China, is based on the true story of Sung Neng Yee. Born into a wealthy Chinese family, she is at first eager to become part of Mao Zedong’s “new society”, but the Maoist regime soon brings hardship and misery to her family. What ensues is the story of a woman who found the courage to love and the strength to survive against all odds with the help of Jesus Christ. 1990 Christian drama. 107 mins. PG-13. Dove approved for ages 12+. The Village Church is able to show this movie because it is covered by their CVLI license, which also prohibits the advertisement of the movie’s title and actors’ names. Please bring a mask in case 10 or more participate.
AUGUST MEMBER BIRTHDAY PARTY Tuesday, Aug. 10, 3:00 p.m. - SMR/DR
The August member birthday party will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 10, at 3:00 p.m. in SMR/DR. Special recognition will be given to Village members with birthdays in August, but all ACV members and their guests are invited to join us for fun, food, and fellow-
ship. The theme will be “The Dog Days of Summer” and will include some paw-some dog-themed fun. Please bring a mask to wear when not eating or drinking.
LADIES’ BREAKSFAST Saturday, Aug. 14, 8:30 a.m. - SMR/DR
Our August breakfast buffet will be on Saturday, Aug. 14, at 8:30 a.m. in SMR/DR. We are so happy with the response since resuming these enjoyable times of fellowship and great food. Required tickets are available for purchase in the Lopin’ Gopher for $5.50. There are a limited number of tickets so please pick up yours before Saturday. Plan now to attend and enjoy table fellowship and a short devotional. Invite a friend. All are welcome, and new residents are particularly encouraged to attend. Call Jean Snyder at 658-1115 with any ques-tions. Plan to wear a mask when you are not eating or drinking.
MEN’S FELLOWSHIP BREAKFAST Saturday, Aug. 14, 8:30 a.m. - RDR
The VC Men’s Fellowship will meet for a buffet breakfast in RDR on Saturday, Aug. 14, at 8:30 a.m. Mr. Ed Smith who has been a resident for nearly 11 years will be our speaker. Ed will share his witness of faith through interview with Ted Jones. Ed grew up in foster homes from the time he was a toddler, joined the Army when he was 16, and started to drive a truck at the age of 22. Ed had a dramatic conversion experience that you will all want to hear. He later helped to develop, along with others, a Truck Ministry to those who drive rigs on our highways. You will often see Ed picking up trash along our streets here in the Village in his specially equipped golf cart. Required tickets are available at the Lopin’ Gopher Deli at $5.50. (The deadline for picking up tickets is Thursday, Aug. 12.) This is a great bargain for a breakfast buffet along with the fellowship and inspira-tion. Hope to see you there! Plan to wear a mask when you are not eating or drinking.
SHUTTERBUG CAMERA CLUB Monday, Aug. 16, 3:00 p.m. - OPR
The next meeting of the Shutterbug Club will be on Aug. 16 at 3:00 p.m. in the OPR, next to the Lopin’ Gopher. If you have an interest in photography and whether you use a camera or your phone, we invite you to join all of us with similar interests. Bring any photos you have taken to share with us. These can be digital or prints. Bring what you have to share. If you have any questions or concerns about your camera or photog-raphy, bring them also. We will help find answers or solutions. If you have any questions about the meeting, contact Gary Kueppers at 658-6442 or gkuep1945@ windstream.net.
TALLAHASSEE YOUTH ORCHESTRA CONCERT Sunday, Aug. 15, 3:00 p.m. Camp Suwannee Pavilion
You are invited to attend a concert by the Tallahassee Youth Orchestra in the pavilion at Camp Suwannee.

ARTIST SERIES UNVEILING Monday, Aug. 16, 3:00 p.m. - SMR
We weren’t able to have an artist series last season due to the pandemic, but we are full steam ahead for a 2021-22 season of Live! at Dowling Park. Come Monday, Aug. 16, to hear all about the line-up. A representative of the Community Concerts of Lake City series is scheduled to also be in attendance to outline their series, which our season pass holders can attend for no extra charge. Unfortunately, North Florida College in Madison does not yet know if they will have an artist series this season, so there is no reciprocity agreement this season with them currently.

In last week’s FNN, Roland Spooner’s name was errone-ously misspelled Ronald in his transfer notice to DM. We apologize for the mistake. As COVID numbers continue to climb, ACV is being forced to react accordingly. Visitation has been suspended at both GSC and DM. Those in independent living should be sure to read both President Carter’s and Vice President Schenck’s announcements on pages 2 and 3 of this FNN. Please be careful, and please be considerate of those around you. As far as I know now, the birthday party next week will still take place. We will need to wear masks except when eating and drinking, but we’ll still be able to have fun. See the article on Page 3. Monday, Aug. 16, I will unveil the next Live! at Dowling Park artist series lineup to the general public. You are invited to come hear what performances have been scheduled. Brochures will be available at the presentation, and following the presentation, season passes and tickets will be available at the Village Cashier’s office.
Member Services Tip of the Week The weekly edition of the FNN is ACV’s newspaper. If you want to submit an article or item to be published,
please list your name and phone number so you can be contacted if an update or clarification is needed. ACV members and staff can submit news items and adver-tisements. The deadline for submission of articles and ads for the FNN is noon on Tuesday of the week of the publication, and they may be sent by email to [email protected] or left in the FNN box near the IC.
TV2 Aside from the lightning-induced hiccup Monday, TV2 has been running reliably, as far as I am aware. If you turn to TV2 and find it off the air, please report it to the IC at 658-3333. The Sunday morning live broadcast is still not possible at this time, but it is being worked on with the hope that it will be available once again before too long. Until then, you may continue to watch the Sunday morning worship service live on Facebook and YouTube, or a recording on TV2 at 2:00 Sunday after-noon, or at 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Wednesday and Saturday.
VOLUNTEER SERVICES Eleanore Catarious–386-658-5251
There is something that we all have that we should use more often starting now. It is called a SMILE. One of the keys to a longer, healthier life just might be your SMILE. Optimistic people tend to make healthier choices about many things, and positive thinking has a direct influence on how well your body works. Let yourself laugh even during difficult times. Hang out with happy people; it’ll rub off on you. Those are the friends you can depend on when you’re feeling down. Avoid nega-tive talk. Don’t say anything to yourself that you would-n’t say to someone else. The glass-half-full approach doesn’t help, but it may boost your mood, immune system and longevity. So SMILE, SMILE, SMILE! I find that it doesn’t really matter where our many volunteers do their “charitable” work, but when they do give hands-on help to other people, they seem to have an increased sense of well-being. If there be truth in this thought, it could account for our longevity here at ACV. According to the 1986 Farmers’ Almanac, no state has ever been exempt from looney legislation. All of them must have been well-intentioned to begin with, and maybe our great-grandchildren will look back at some of today’s laws and regulations — and snicker. Here for the humor of it and a few chuckles are some of these laws:
- Florida has a law prohibiting the transporting of livestock on school busses.
- In Tennessee, it is illegal to drive a car while asleep.
- In Fitchburg, Massachusetts, barbers are not allowed to carry combs in back of their cars.
- It is against the law to kick a garbage can in New Orleans.
- It is against the law for pigeons to fly over Ba-yonne, N.J., unless they are licensed.
- It is against the law to sell lollypops in Spokane, Washington.
- Memphis law prohibits the sale of bologna on Sunday.
- In Massachusetts, it is unlawful to deliver diapers on Sunday, regardless of emergencies.
- In Seattle, it is against the law to carry a concealed weapon that is over six feet in length.
- It is contrary to the law of California to peel an orange in a hotel room.
Volunteers, don’t forget to pick up a blue Monthly Report for your August volunteer hours, and many thanks to all who have returned their July volun-teer reports. “A good laugh is as good as a prayer some-times.” Lucy Maud Montgomery.
RUSTIC SHOP Myra Webb, Reporter
Sorry to needle you, but weeks were spent finding oldies and goodies. We found craft items galore: embroidery design kits, needle point, quick point, and cross stitching. We have bunches of crafts that will be especially informative for beginners, and threads in all different shades plus all different textures, colors, and sizes.

I will give you one-on-one training. With all of the down time, embark on something new and pretty. It is a true fact that creativity keeps one proud. All items will be displayed. Items as low as $1.00. Christmas is rapidly creeping up giving us time to complete a handmade craft for someone very special. An idle mind instills nothing, but a busy and creative and happy mind promotes accomplishment. I urge each of you to strive to do more.

Congratulations to our July 28 winners: 1st high, Gretchen Tanner, and 2nd high, Betty Driggers.
VILLAGE VOICES Nancy Seale, Reporter
This past Sunday morning Pinelake Church in Brandon, Mississippi, celebrated their 50th anniversary. Indeed, I was blessed and thankful to be in attendance. My “sisters by marriage” and I were worshipping together in the third worship service of the morning. It truly was a celebration, a celebration of God’s faithfulness. The senior pastor, Chip Henderson, took those attending down memory lane. In 1971, gas was 36¢ per gallon, and minimum wage was $1.60 per hour. Thirty-two people were in attendance in February 1971, and the offering was $170. And … God’s presence was felt, His Spirit was leading, and His people were listening. (For those of you who are doing the math, this celebra-tion had to be postponed due to COVID.) Now 50+ years later, God’s presence is still felt, His Spirit is still leading, and His people are still listen-ing. Henry Blackaby says that God’s people need to find where God is working and join Him there. Over the years, God has blessed the faithfulness of His people as this church endeavored to do just that: to discover where God was working and join Him in His workings. Today Pinelake has churches in the cities where the major universities are in Mississippi, and services can also be attended virtually. Pinelake is celebrating by remembering the past and letting the past impact the present and future. Remembering God’s faithfulness impacts our present and definitely gives us reason to trust Him with our future. As I worshipped my Heavenly Father during that time of celebration, I realized that I have omitted the best reason for celebrating. And for that, I apolo-gize to you. For you see, I realized that there are many times when I have had NO clue how I was going to make it through certain situations. I could not, but God could. And He did! Not just once, but over and over. In my opinion, that is the best reason for celebrating! Corrie ten Boom said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” Those words hit me hard, and in this time that we find ourselves in now, I find comfort as I remember them. I want you to think upon the “But God” times in your life. As you ponder, reflect on, and remember those times, praise God for His faithfulness, His love, His mercies, His grace, and His forgiveness. He truly is an awesome God! And please accept my apology for neglecting to tell y’all this before now. By sharing our “But God” moments with others, we are telling others that God is faithful still today. The Gospel never changes, and in our world today, knowing that there are more “But God” moments for us to experience truly brings comfort and joy. As I have typed this article for the FNN, I have realized that I am okay if you should choose not to share. If you have remembered times of God’s faithful-
ness and choose not to share, that is okay. For you see, I believe that in so doing, you have found a “celebration within yourself” that will make the day a better one for you. I encourage you to find at least one “celebration” daily. God’s faithfulness is a truly a reason to celebrate. You may email your Village Voices submissions to me at [email protected]. There is also an envelope for submissions on the counter in MS.

I heard the people who went to the luau theme dinner had a wonderful time. We need to have a pot luck pretty soon. I had a very hot but wonderful time at Homosassa Springs with my son, his girlfriend, and her son. I had not seen my son in a long time. We went halfway around then went to an open air restaurant with a lot of big fans. Then we went back to the park, and I left for home. I want to say happy birthday to Louise Johnson on the 23rd of August.

The last collection items for Operation Christmas Child will be items to make a sewing kit and fishing kit. I understand both of these kits will be used by recipients to help earn money and feed their families. Sewing kit items needed: buttons, needles, straight pens, safety pins, and thread. Fishing kit items needed: sinkers, a cork or plastic bobber, hooks (yes, they are allowed), four to five yards of fishing line, and nail clippers or small scissors (knives are not allowed). I was blessed to travel by plane on July 28 to visit my daughter, Heather, her husband, Chris, and grandchildren Juni and Silas. It was Juni’s fifth birthday. Juni had the biggest smile on her face when I got out of the car. She chose Chinese for her birthday dinner. On Thursday, I watched Juni take swim lessons and after dinner, we went to Egan’s, an Irish pub, where after dinner they brought her ice cream with a candle in it. On Friday, I went with Heather to run some errands and came back and did some crafts with Juni. After-wards, we went back to the pool and had a picnic by the pool. On Saturday, Juni and I walked to get her number 5 balloon for her birthday party. Heather made an Olaf and Elsa cake. On Sunday, I packed for my return trip home. Flight was on time but landing was horrible due to the weather. We had to sit on the tarmac for over an hour to disembark. I got home about 10:15 p.m. Thanks to the dining room staff for yet another awesome theme dinner: the Polynesian luau. I know it was great and am sorry I missed it. The entertainment was especially epic with Lani Agapay-Chavers teaching others the hula. Thanks to all who had a part in plan-ning. This month, your bulletin board in DH will be a blank canvas, and DH residents are invited to share your artistry on the board ... especially Cora and Celeste. Join in on the fun.
DOWLING MANOR & DOWLING PARK NORTH
Jack “CrackerJack” Dixon, Reporter Lorraine Casey gave me a call the other day and said she and Marvin would love to meet with everybody for a party at the Harmony Center in mid September. I thanked her very much, and we decided to make it Saturday evening, the 18th of September. With any luck by then we will have run the “dog days of summer”
outta town, and it will be a bit cooler weather. Please contact me at 658-2113 or [email protected], and let me know if you plan to be there. Be advised however the possibility still exists that because of COVID we may again have to postpone it. I will keep you posted as to what is happening. The birthday list is picking up a bit in August, but not until a little later in the month. We do have an anniversary to celebrate this coming week, and that is for Pomeroy and Jerry Carter. Be sure to wish them a happy day. Don’t forget the August birthday party this week on Tuesday the 10th. The theme will be “the dog days of summer”. I can’t wait to see what James pulls out of his hat for this one! I’ll see you there. Paranoia has reached absorbed stages. This morning I sneezed in front of my computer and the antivirus software started to scan all by itself! Yesterday I stepped on my talking bathroom scale, and it said “Please practice social distancing; only one person at a time.” Have you noticed that all the scientific instru-ments looking for intelligent life are pointing away from earth? From the middle of a dusty, bumpy, dead end dirt road, 102nd Place, my wish for you today is that you always have money to spare, a head full of hair, tires full of air, friends that care, and that you never forget who is in charge. Isaiah 40:28–31. God bless.
EDGEWOOD TERRACE Sandra Kelly, Reporter
Hello again, ET! Betty Bird will be celebrating a birthday on Aug. 7. Donald Hayes will be celebrating on the 6th. We hope your birthdays are full of sunshine and rain-bows and love and laughter! We send many good wishes to you on your special days. Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. And it did ... come again another day. And another, and another, and another. Had enough yet? We had a return visitor to Edgewood. The gopher tortoise was seen strolling swiftly (for a tortoise anyway) beside the retaining wall. I was walking a neighbor’s cat who was EXTREMELY interested in the tortoise so had to swiftly corral her to complete our walk, thinking I had plenty of time. But when I re-turned, sans cat, the tortoise was gone. He/she looked very healthy and was moving a little fast. I guess he/she had something urgent to do. I had other interesting return visitors. I keep a pot of parsley growing outside of my garage. Every year so far, some small, yellow and green-striped worms have made it their goal to totally consume my parsley. And here they are, back again. I called a friend, Birdie in POP, who promises beautiful swallowtail butterflies from the worms. I’ve taken her my invaders and can’t wait to see what eventually hatches out. Hopefully my parsley is safe for the rest of the season.
Meet Your Neighbors Gloria Williams lives in Lawrence House. She is from Colorado where her husband was a dentist, and she was his receptionist. They retired to ACV to live until he passed away. Gloria lived in a motor home in Tresca Park until an apartment was available. Her daughter lives in Live Oak, and her son is a pilot in northern California. She has multiple grandchildren; no great-grands yet, but she is hopeful. She enjoys reading and especially enjoys the hummingbirds and other avian creatures that come to her feeders. She has her chair arranged so that it allows her to watch them through the glass doors. I asked if she has any wisdom to impart to our readers. “Tell them I thank the Lord for what He has done for me,” she said. Stop by and say hello to Gloria Williams.
Keep Smiling, Y’all! “According to most studies, people’s No. 1 fear is public speaking. No. 2 is death. Death is No. 2. Does that seem right? That means to the average person, if you have to go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” Jerry Seinfeld. “Not sure which is harder on a relationship: sharing a dresser for three years or sharing an iPhone charger for one day.” Rhea Butcher. “I just realized that ‘Let me check my calendar’ is the adult version of ‘Let me ask my mom.’“ Noelle Chatham.
GOOD SAMARITAN CENTER AND DACIER MANOR
Pastor Bruce Arnold, Reporter Psalm 62:1–2, “I find rest in God; only he can save me. He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.” Psalm 62:5–6, “I find rest in God; only he can give me hope. He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.” As we look at Psalm 62 verses 1–2 and 5–6, we notice that the psalmist, David, writes a very similar thing in these verses. Every line is the same except one. Did you catch that line? If not, read those verses again. In verses 1–2 he says, “only God can save me”. And in verses 5–6 he says “only He can give me hope.” When we find ourselves in a situation that is beyond our control, we can be assured that God is near to help us and to deliver us. Let’s trust God today — that he will be near to help us — and let us rest in him! Last week at GSC we were looking at the hymn, “The Beautiful Garden of Prayer”, and we saw that prayer is communion with God, and prayer is also communication with God. We can also find that prayer is closeness with God, and this Psalm we see today shows that God is close to us in our time of need. James 4:8 says, “Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” This is what we need to do in this time of uncertainty: call on the Lord who is certain to hear us, and then trust in Him to deliver us. Please pray for our staff, for all who are helping to take care of all the residents at GSC and DM — that we will have wisdom to do the things that will help and bring healing. God is near; he is able to help us in this time of need.
PARK OF THE PINES Bob Reynolds, Reporter
It seems like I was in a bit of a hurry to get the issue out last week and got ahead of myself with the birth-days. Hank Kueltzo has his day on the 11th of August this year — same day as last year, if you remember. Have a sunny and less humid day, Hank, and remember that we will be wearing a warm coat before long. I’m looking forward to it! I heard tell that one good thing about laryngitis is people who have it can’t tell you about it. In that same cynical article I also read that one good thing about children is that they don’t bring out pictures of their grandparents. We certainly have had some strange weather lately. High winds and heavy showers that, in most cases, were short lived. I don’t mind those kinds — the quicker the better — but sometimes they do inflict major damage. The river had a slow and small rise for a short time, but is again turning downward, now being about 33.48 feet on Tuesday. Did you enjoy the two to three minute shower we had on Monday? The skies looked clear, but down came the rain! Fortunately, I was delayed a few minutes or I would have been out there riding my exercise bike when the water came down! I’m not a fan of exercise, but getting rained on would be the ultimate insult. Do you think the warm sun and high humidity has kept the RVers out of the RV park here? There have been some visitors over the months, but not like a normal year, you know, like this one has not been. The plus side is that it is easier for the maintenance people to mow that area with nothing in their way. I certainly don’t wish them the obstructions, but a full park would be nice to see. Have you noticed the VS lately? The new paint? Certainly brightens up that whole block, and it looks great. I’ve not as yet seen the work done in the confer-ence room on the upper level, but one day I hope to. I’ve only seen it once, about 11 years ago when we came down here from N.C. Seems like a mystery room to me.
RIVER WOODS Betsey Ruehl, Reporter
Solutions for moles: Use gopher baskets when planting.
7
Bury fencing with hardware cloth to keep critters out.
Add beneficial nematodes to your garden, which will control the grub and beetle population natural-ly.
Allow birds to forage for insects in your garden from time to time.
Remove Japanese beetles (a mature form of grub) from your garden manually and place them in a jar of soapy water.
Steep garlic bulbs in water overnight and add to a spray bottle. Spritz the garlic spray around the garden to deter grubs.
Save coffee grounds and spread them amply over mole tunnels and in mole holes. Coffee grounds enrich your soil, and the strong scent of coffee may send pesky moles in the opposite direction of your garden. To be effective in getting rid of moles, you must do this to all of the holes and tunnels and reapply after it rains.
Using fish scraps inside tunnels does double duty in the garden bed. The pungent scent of fish as it decomposes underground will turn moles around in their tracks, and it becomes a natural fertilizer as it breaks down and releases nitrogen and trace minerals into the soil.
Or apply castor oil to mole holes and tunnels with a mixture of three-part castor oil and one-part dish soap per one gallon of water.
To repel moles, try planting daffodils, Castor beans, Siberian squill, allium and marigolds.
I have also seen the antics of various cats in the neighborhood who guard the tunnel exits and roll over the openings. This provides a bit of entertainment for observers and for at least one participant. Quote for this week: “Trade your expectation for appreciation, and the world changes instantly!” Tony Robbins. Wanted: Interesting information from RW homeowners to publish in the FNN. Call Betsey Ruehl at 658-1766 or email [email protected].

FOR ALL THOSE BORN BEFORE 1945 We are survivors! Consider the changes we have witnessed. We were born before television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox copies, plastic, contact lenses, and the pill. We were before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser beams, and ballpoint pens. We were
before pantyhose, dishwashers, clothes dryers, electric blankets, air conditioners, drip-dry clothes, and before man walked on the moon. We got married before we lived together. How quaint can you be? In our time, closets were for clothes and not for “coming out” of. Bunnies were small rabbits, and rabbits were not Volkswagens. Designer jeans were scheming girls named Jean or Jeanie, and having a meaningful relationship meant getting along well with our cousins. We thought fast food was what you ate during Lent, and outer space was the back of the theater. We were before househusbands, gay rights, computer dating, dual careers, and computer marriages. We were before daycare centers, group therapy, and nursing homes. We never heard of FM radio, tape decks, electric typewriters, computers, iPods, artificial hearts, word processors, yogurt, and guys wearing earrings. For us time-sharing meant togetherness, not computers or condominiums; a “chip” meant a piece of wood; hardware meant nuts, bolts and nails; and software wasn’t even a word. In 1940 “made in Japan” meant junk, and the term “making out” referred to how you did on your exam. Pizzas, McDonald’s, Burger King, and instant coffee were unheard of. We hit the scene when there were 5 and 10 cent stores. Ice cream cones were a nickel or a dime, and for one nickel you could ride a streetcar, make a phone call, buy a Pepsi or a Coke, or enough stamps to mail one letter and two postcards. You could buy a new Chevy coupe for $600, but who could afford one? And that was a pity because gasoline was 11 cents a gallon! In our day cigarette smoking was fashionable, grass was mowed, Coke was a cold drink, and pot was something you cooked in. Rock music was a Grandma’s lullaby, and aids were helpers in the principal’s office. We were certainly not before the difference between the sexes was discovered, but we were sure before the sex change; we made do with what we had, and we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you needed a husband to have a baby! No wonder we are so confused and there is such a generation gap today. But we survived!

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.
Previous solution - Easy
SUDOKU
To complete Sudoku, fill the board by entering numbers 1 to 9 such that each row, column and 3x3 box contains every number uniquely.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.

SUDOKU
To complete Sudoku, fill the board by entering numbers 1 to 9 such that each row, column and 3x3 box contains every number uniquely.
