A F D Anarex will be holding a Community Meeting at the Arden Community Center (1020 Omar

Drive) on Wednesday August 12, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. for the purpose of allowing the developer to present information regarding the Arden Farms project and allowing the community to ask ques-tions or provide comments. The first community meeting was held back on June 18, 2014 at the same location. This will be the final meeting for this project.

The location of the proposed project is the South side of Sunrise Beach Road 1,200’(±) East of Evergreen Road - TM 31, BLK 14, Parcel 173. The developer is reinstating the previously ap-proved 22-single-family lot subdivision through a final re-platting process.

NOTICE FROM MONSOON HEADQUARTERS: All

able bodied men with saws and hammers to meet next Saturday at the Ball Field for construction of the Ark!

Seriously, please pray for some relief from this rain and gloomy weather. On the bright side, you don’t need to water the garden and the water table should be great for our wells.

The ABI bull roast was pretty well attended despite the one day rain delay and as always the food was great. Lots of good friends old and new came for a good time. In addition to music provided by our DJ, Wayne, we had live key board and guitar from Bill and Gerard. ABI provided fun for the kids too with a moon bounce and yummy snow cones. Can’t wait for their next production, Wine, Swine and Brie in the Fall.

The Senior lunch club cook out at beach 5 was well attended. We had a volunteer chef, Ken Krantz who is also now our new Section 2 rep for ABI. It’s great to get new folks involved in both groups especially a great cook! We’ll be at beach 4 for July and August. Come join us. The luncheon is always at noon on the second

Friday of the month. Speaking of beaches… there are still a few of you

who haven’t paid their ABI dues for this year and in some cases prior years. You have to pay them even if you don’t use the beaches. The dues are tied to your deed and support that water privileged designation on your property. That makes your property a much more desirable piece of real estate. So please get those dues paid. You can email questions to the registrar at [email protected].

It’s time again for the Kids club yard sale on Sep-tember 26th with a rain date of September 27th. Appli-cations to participate are in this issue. Please get them in with your check so we can put you on the map. As always, maps, coffee, donuts and hot dogs will be avail-able at Town Hall.

The first ACA meeting of the Fall season will be at Town hall on September 16th at 7 PM. Please try to attend to discuss projects for the year and hopefully hear a report on the Veterans Cemetery recent survey and their plans for storm water management. Thanks to all who helped with dumpster days especially TJ Arnold who is always there dawn to dusk both days. It was successful per usual and we all got rid of lots of junk.

Be safe the rest of the summer! Alby

Construction

Our permit process is almost completed for con-struction on our piers at beach 5 and beach 1 as well as a maintenance addition to the ramp at beach 5. Norris Construction is expected to start construction around the middle of August and hopefully will be complete with all projects within a couple weeks. Please in the meantime do not use the pier at beach 5 and use cau-tion when using the fishing pier at beach 1.

Ramp 1 and ramp 5 will have some construction occurring during the month of August. Each of these ramps will have temporary closures of about a day to a week. Please consider ramp 4 as an alternative for launching your boat. We will not close both ramps 1 and 5 at the same time. After Construction, we will im-plement a locking system on both ramps similar to the chain and combination lock installed at ramp 4. If you are a launch permit holder, you will have to contact your beach/section rep to obtain the combination. We do not have the resources to mail this info out. Contact info is in the NewsBuoy and on the website www.ardenonthesevern.com

Annual Bull Roast We had a lower than usual turnout for the Annual

Bull Roast at beach 4 but managed to recover most of the money spent. Again, this is a social not a fund rais-er. Weather severely impacted our Saturday date, so the event was pushed to Sunday. Thank you to all our volunteers! Special thanks to all our repeat volunteers. This means so much to not have to direct people. You just already know what to do. We had a couple of new volunteers this year that seems like they had been there all along. Thanks again for a successful event. We appreciate the community supporting this event too! It is very difficult to plan for 100 or perhaps 200 guests and then have the weather impact us. Your contribu-tions saved the day!

ABC K Heart Tie-Dye Shirt

http://www.happygoluckyblog.com

If you look in your closet and see that you have nothing to wear, then it's the perfect op-portunity to make a cute Tie Dye Heart Shirt.

All you need is a white shirt, two colors of tie dye (red and another color), rubber bands, paper to create heart template, washable marker, and water bottle.

Step 1: Create a heart template using a file folder. Step 2: Mist shirt with water using a spray bottle. Step 3: Fold the t-shirt

in half. Place the folded heart along the fold of the t-shirt and use a washa-ble marker to trace the heart on the shirt.

Step 4: Now for the most important part – to create the heart correctly, start at the top part of the heart and slowly pinch and gather along the entire heart (accordion style). Then place a rubber band around the outline of the heart. It is much easier than it sounds.

Step 5: Add rubber bands about every 3-4 inches along the rest of the shirt.

Step 6: Prepare the tie dye (directions on the box). Step 7: Cover the heart end of the shirt with the red

tie-dye and the rest of the shirt with your second color. You could even add a third color of tie-dye if you want.

Step 8: Wrap tight in plastic wrap and let sit for 24 hours.

Step 9: Wash, dry, and wear!

or people. 4. Urine is a health risk especially to little children that

play in the sand. 5. Pooh. Need I say more?

In the last 6 months there have been two reported vicious attacks on humans and other pets by aggressive dogs that live in this neighborhood (not at the beach). Everyone thinks “My dog would never do that” until it happens. We believe 95% of the dogs in our neighbor-hood would not be aggressive but you cannot take that chance in a public place. Are you allowed to bring your dog to the pool, your school, the hospital, the grocery store? 95% of the dog owners in our neighborhood observe and respect this rule. They understand why it is in place. There are no exceptions! Sorry! If you want change, you must attend a meeting to start a discus-sion. Texting on Facebook will not change anything. You are welcome to discuss this problem but I assure you Facebook will not change our rules!


beach lately. It seems more and more residents are ignoring the rules about no dogs. Leashed or unleashed does not matter although I can assure you most end up unleashed. I just want to clarify why we have the rules and what they mean. The “No Dog Rule” has been in place for as long as I have lived here (15 years) and likely much longer. I did not create this rule nor did any current board member so please, if you disagree, do not blame us. We are continuing to support this rule for several reasons, most of which are due to pet owners and not their pets.

Reasons why you cannot walk your dog at the beach! 1. It is a rule. Break the rules and you can lose your

beach privileges. 1 Warning! 2. Not all beach goers feel as passionate about your

pup. Please do not assume everyone wants to pet your cute pooch!

3. Some dogs can be aggressive around other dogs and

ACE Certified Personal Trainer My childhood summer days always meant being

outdoors until the sun went down. Days were filled with swimming, bike riding, roller skating, and back yard games - whiffle ball, badminton, volleyball, tag, and various other children's games passed on from family members. These days of summer play left me with many fond memories. It also deeply engrained the idea that movement and physical activity are a source of great joy and pleasure. So when was the last time you incorporated play in your workout? Does playful move-ment have to cease because you've gone beyond a certain age? I say a resounding 'No!' and so does the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Instead of calling it 'play' NASM and other training pros call it speed, agility, and quickness (SAQ) training.

SAQ training not only adds a playful aspect to tradi-tional fitness programs but also enhances the outcome of a workout plan. Involved in recreational sports and

activities? Participate in regular exercise? Play with your child/grandchild? Walk your dog? All will benefit from adding SAQ to a fitness program.

What does SAQ training look like? Here's just a couple examples NASM recommends:

Wall Drill – 3 Count: Extend arms out against a wall at shoulder height, standing far enough away and at an angle in order to bring knee up, thigh parallel to the ground, foot flexed. Alternate legs quickly for three counts and pause. Repeat.

Arm Action: Pump/Swing arms quickly like when running. Variations include: seated with legs straight in front, kneeling (1/2 or tall), staggered stance, even stance, single leg.

L.E.F.T. Drill: Place two cones 10 yards apart. Start-ing at first cone, sprint forward to other cone. Backpedal back to start. Side shuffle to opposite cone, side shuffle back to start with opposite leg leading. Carioca to sec-ond cone, carioca back with opposite leg leading. Sprint one final time to end cone. Rest. Repeat.

These SAQ drills will not only add to the fun factor of your program but they are also beneficial to your overall fitness because they incorporate movement in all planes of motion - forward, backward, sideways, and across the midline. Choose one or all and add 2-3 times/week to an existing workout. They can also be used as a stand-alone cardio workout with an appropri-ate warm-up and cool down. For those not already reg-ularly exercising adding speed, agility and quickness activity calls for a gradually progressing plan. It is wisest to consult with your health care provider prior to starting any new exercise program.

If you have any questions or comments about the above information or other fitness related subjects p lease don ' t hes i ta te to contac t me at [email protected] or (410)353-4082.

Bad news first? Mistakes were made counting Lyme

disease cases. Big mistakes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, previously reported numbers were short by a factor of 10. The more accu-rate total is 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease per year.

More bad news? In multiple studies, antibiotics typically used to treat Lyme disease have been proven to not eradicate all of the Lyme bacteria in animals. More recently, these same antibiotics, doxycycline and amoxicillin, also were proven to be unable to kill all of the Lyme bacteria in the lab.

In other words, people treated for Lyme disease based on the Infectious Diseases Society of America treatment guidelines may continue to suffer from symp-toms caused by an active infection.

It is reported that drugs with the highest activity against Lyme persisters do not work against the active-ly growing spirochetes that cause the disease, accord-ing to Lucy Barnes, director of Lyme Disease Education and Support Groups of Maryland. This means that to kill all of the Lyme bacteria in its various stages, a com-bination of drugs would be necessary for an undeter-mined length of time.

The good news? A follow-up study published by lohns Hopkins confirmed eradication of the Lyme bacte-ria in the lab was achieved using a combination of three

drugs - daptomycin, cefopetazone and doxycycline. People with Lyme disease who experience symp-

toms after standard treatment now have a legitimate reason for their complaints, an ongoing infection.

Many patients treated by the IDSAs insurance-friendly protocols were mistakenly told they were cured and denied further treatment even when suffering from continuing, relapsing or worsening symptoms. Many were reported to be malingerers, or were inappropriate-ly referred for mental health counseling, or were pre-scribed anti-inflammatory medications and told to begin an exercise program, or worse yet, were prescribed steroids to mask their symptoms, rather than receiving appropriate antimicrobial treatment for a chronic, disa-bling and sometimes life-threatening infectious disease, Barnes said.

With Lyme tests still missing 75 percent of those who are infected, many of these people have since been misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue,

By: Ria Jacob Do you ever take walks around the neighborhood

and get bored with seeming to see the same things? On some walks recently, I decided to change the way I looked at things and gain a little insight into the homes of my neighbors in Arden. On a trek through all five sections of Arden, I’ve made the following observations.

Basketball Hoops My husband chal-

lenged me about the most ubiquitous item in the community. He be-lieved it was the basket-ball hoops, both attached to houses or on portable stands. I took the chal-lenge and surveyed eve-ry road and found 40 visible hoops. Most were in good shape, a few had lost the nets but had the hoops intact, but at no point anywhere did I observe any activity at the hoops. Sometimes when a thing stands in a place for a long time, it becomes invisible. Alternately, they could be fitted with hanging baskets to add some color.

Lighthouses These were amazing pieces of model architecture

that I found in all the sections. Being a water front com-munity, I would expect a piece of yard decoration like this. They were individual and very charming and for the most part in good condition. I counted 23 lighthouses.

Boats You can’t live by the River without seeing tons of all

kinds of boats in peoples’ yards, primarily speedboats on trailers. They’re poised on the driveways as if they could leave for parts unknown at a moment’s notice. Kayaks, canoes and jet skies all jostle with cars for a place in the front of the house.

Wishing Wells Outnumbering light-

houses by a hair, wishing wells appeared on the lawns of 24 homes. Alt-hough some were treated well, many looked like they had become invisi-ble, the owners having long since given up hope that their wish would be granted.

Mailboxes These were very charming and there are many that

have been uniquely decorated especially some with the flag motif. I’ve shown a few here, but there are many

Around 4 years ago, ABI approved the addition of a

second boat rack at the boat beach (1140 Severnview), but due to finances, other more important matters, and a change in leadership, it was never completed. We just want to offer a VERY fond “THANK YOU” to Steve Petersen of Section 2 for taking it upon himself to com-plete the project. If it wasn’t for Steve’s dedication to our community and perseverance in seeing this project through to its end, the addition of more spots to store boats may have never come to fruition. Again, thank you Steve and, if anyone happens to see him, please thank him for his hard work!

that are very nice. There were 4 flag mailboxes.

Other items Statues of the Virgin Mary and St. Francis (6),

slightly outnumbered the Orioles flags (5) which sur-prised me, because the Orioles are doing well this sea-son. I only saw 1 crab flag. What’s the problem with crab iconography? Have we forsaken Maryland’s most identifiable crustacean? There were also 3 displays of pink flamingos. I always believe that the people who display flamingos are slightly counter-culture, and asso-ciate with John Waters.

There were beautiful water features surrounded by lush flower beds, old wagon wheels and water pumps, a jockey at the entrance holding a lantern, a lovely met-al horse sculpture and an old canoe transformed into a flowering planter.

This does not mean there is not a solution! I have always said that those that complain without a solution (or two or three) do not deserve to be able to complain.

Just to clarify what is typical in this county, you may visit this site to learn more about “Dog Friendly Beach-es” in the county. From this link you can find the “law” and the location of beaches compatible with your pooch. http://www.aacounty.org/RecParks/parks/dogparks/index.cfm

Arden Kids Club ABI is encouraging residents to get involved with

the kids club. This is great for your family and great for the community and our beaches. If your family is at the beach, you will not see drug dealers, deviates (except in section 5) or hoodlums. The last place they want to be is where families hang out! Please occupy your beaches. Plan get-togethers with your neighbors. Talk about community problems and achievements! This is good for everyone.

ABI is co-sponsoring a weenie roast with marsh-mallows and a beach fire at Beach 4 on August 14th. We are also hoping to promote a Halloween event simi-lar in nature. It would be so nice to bring your kids to the beach and let them be kids or Spiderman. We un-derstand we have no sidewalks so door to door is not an easy task in Arden.

The Kids Club is looking for volunteers. A great candidate is someone with one or more young children and perhaps new to the neighborhood. This gives you the most “bang for your buck” as your efforts are passed to each subsequent child. Also being new to Arden, this will allow you to meet many other caring parents of community children. These children may currently attend the same schools as your child or soon will be. Most “long-time residents” have already done their share for children and are moving towards becom-ing empty nesters. I started out this way and loved every minute of it.

We are also looking for suggestions from residents about what they would like to see in our community. Perhaps a family movie night at the beach?

Decisions… decisions…

Do I want Oriole Magic? Or do I want someone to “Knock my ‘Sox off”?

Does it really make a dif-ference? I mean, it’s only baseball, right? Well…you be the judge.

We live in nirvana for baseball fans. We have two major league teams, Orioles and Nationals. Add to that the many minor league affiliates all over Maryland and Virginia. So, a true baseball fan doesn’t need Comcast or FiOS to get MASN or MASN2 to get their baseball fix. Live games are all over. But at what price? Is this the arena for the rich or occasional fan?

The answer is a definite yes…and no. Let’s take a look at this dilemma start-ing with true numbers and a sample set of teams.

The Bowie Baysox are the local (like down the street local) Class AA team for the Orioles. They play in Prince George’s Stadium in Bowie, just off Routes 3 and 50. Drive down to PG Stadium and park for free. Tickets to the games range from $10 to $18, depend-ing on where you sit. The stadium itself is smaller in size, so it doesn’t take many tick-ets for a sellout.

The venue is geared to-

ward children. There is a carousel in the right field con-course area, along with a playground. The game I was at also had Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird and Sylvester the Cat in attendance. Louie, the Baysox mascot, was all over the crowd, talking to the children, taking pictures with them, and as the centerpiece for many of the be-tw een- inn ing games.

By compari-son, Oriole Park at Camden Yards is “the Bigs”. Here is where the play-ers make some big money, and the prices for items show it. Tickets can run from $20 to $75 dollars, depending on your seat – and the team the O’s are playing. Yankees, Red Sox, and any other division winners from the year before command higher ticket prices. Parking isn’t free downtown. Lot prices fluctuate from $35 dollars at the Hilton garage to $9 for distance parking and a nice hike to the ballpark. Some of the garages are hooked into Parking Panda, so you can get a discount by purchasing ahead online.

Camden Yards does its best to be totally fan friend-ly, no matter the age of the fan. The Little Bird p l a y g r o u n d area has batting cages, pitching practice, picture areas, and more. The Ori-oles have many kids’ days in their home schedule, where kids can run the bases after the game. Many players sign autographs by the dugout during pre-game warm-ups.

Food at both stadiums is comparable in price. I bought a cheeseburger, fries and a beer at the Baysox game for $17.50. I didn’t find any crab cakes, or ethnic

foods at the Baysox stadium like there is at Camden Yards.

Basic economic theory says that the more competi-tion in an area, the better it is for the consumer. Well, there’s plenty of competition for consumer’s sports dollars around here. With the Nationals and Orioles at the major league level and a variety of minor league teams within an hour or two from home, this area is saturated – and for our benefit. Oriole Park becomes Yankee Stadium south when the Yankees come to town. It becomes Fenway south when the Red Sox come in. It’s actually less expensive for a Boston or New York fan to take the Amtrak to Baltimore, get a Camden Yards ticket and stay over here than it is to go to a game in their own home park.

For baseball purists, though, it doesn’t matter where you play the game. The Baysox play exciting baseball, just like the Orioles. The game I saw recently saw the Baysox jump out to a 6-0 lead. They held a big lead until… the 8th and 9th innings when Portland came back and made it close. The Baysox play like their big brother Orioles in that respect. Many Orioles are sent to

Bowie as part of Buck Showalter’s revolving door policy for players. On any given evening, you could see Matt Weiters or Jonathan Schoop working their way off the disabled list at Bowie. The Baysox boys are making names for themselves. I recognized many of them from spring training in Sarasota. Here’s a familiar one – Yaztremski. Yes, Mike Yaztremski is the grandson of Red Sox legend Carl Yaztremski. He’s working his way to the bigs at Bowie.

So which location has the best deals in baseball? It depends on what you want. Close up and small stadium leads you to a minor league park, like Bowie. Lower prices for a family event takes you to a minor league park, too. If you want the big league party experience, Camden Yards is your place.

http://www.mariovittone.com/ The new captain jumped from the deck, fully

dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former life-guard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the couple swimming between their an-chored sportfisher and the beach. “I think he thinks you’re drowning,” the husband said to his wife. They had been splashing each other and she had screamed but now they were just standing, neck-deep on the sand bar. “We’re fine, what is he doing?” she asked, a little annoyed. “We’re fine!” the husband yelled, waving him off, but his captain kept swimming hard. ”Move!” he barked as he sprinted between the stunned owners. Directly behind them, not ten feet away, their nine-year-old daughter was drowning. Safely above the surface in the arms of the captain, she burst into tears, “Daddy!”

How did this captain know – from fifty feet away – what the father couldn’t recognize from just ten?

Drowning is not the violent, splashing, call for help that most people expect. The captain was trained to recog-nize drowning by experts and years of experience. The father, on the other hand, had learned what drowning looks like by watching television. If you spend time on or near the water (hint: that’s all of us) then you should make sure that you and your crew knows what to look for whenever people enter the water. Until she cried a tearful, “Daddy,” she hadn’t made a sound. As a former Coast Guard rescue swimmer, I wasn’t surprised at all by this story. Drowning is almost always a deceptively quiet event. The waving, splashing, and yelling that dramatic conditioning (television) prepares us to look for, is rarely seen in real life.

The Instinctive Drowning Response – so named by Francesco A. Pia, Ph.D., is what people do to avoid actual or perceived suffocation in the water. And it does not look like most people expect. There is very little splashing, no waving, and no yelling or calls for help of any kind. To get an idea of just how quiet and undra-matic from the surface drowning can be, consider this: It is the number two cause of accidental death in chil-

dren, age 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents) – of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In ten percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening (source: CDC). Drowning does not look like drowning – Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard’s On Scene Magazine, described the instinctive drowning response like this: 1. Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are

physiologically unable to call out for help. The respir-atory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled, before speech occurs.

2. Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.

3. Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature in-stinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water, permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.

4. Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reach-ing out for a piece of rescue equipment.

5. From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people’s bodies remain upright in the wa-ter, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning peo-ple can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs. (Source: On Scene Magazine: Fall 2006 (page 14))

This doesn’t mean that a person that is yelling for

(DROWNING—Continued from page 18)

help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble – they are experi-encing aquatic distress. Not always present before the instinctive drowning response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long – but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.

Look for these other signs of drowning when per-sons are in the water:

Head low in the water, mouth at water level Head tilted back with mouth open Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus Eyes closed Hair over forehead or eyes Not using legs – Vertical Hyperventilating or gasping Trying to swim in a particular direction but not

making headway Trying to roll over on the back Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder. So if a crew member falls overboard and everything

looks OK – don’t be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don’t look like they’re drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, “Are you alright?” If they can answer at all – they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 sec-onds to get to them. And parents – children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

ACA received word about a variance application for

the installation of a cell phone tower here in Arden. Upon investigation, they discovered that this was, in fact, happening! Verizon proposes to construct a 140' tall monopole structure on which to place their wireless telecommunication antennas and equipment. The mon-opole would be placed in an equipment compound and enclosed with a 7' tall chain link fence at 1140 Sunrise Beach Road. The compound would be accessed by a proposed 12' wide gravel driveway, connecting to Sun-rise Beach Road.

Please attend our ACA meetings to learn more about this project as we become aware of the details. As of the printing of this issue of the NewsBuoy, there doesn’t appear to be any VARIANCE notifications post-ed and there hasn’t been any public discussion of this proposed construction. To the RIGHT you can see the proposed location and view from the cemetery.

R E C Things to Feel Good About IV

By: Al Friedman So, I'm hoping you're enjoying my series of articles,

where we've been discussing different things in our lives to enjoy and appreciate. As I mentioned in the first one, we're going to continue this series throughout the yaer.

Once again, we begin with real estate. The specific focus this time will be the wonderful array of home types and styles in our region. When you think back to the fact that up until 1945, we were predomi-nately farmland in Anne Arundel County, it's astounding what we have become today. Central Anne Arundel County has some of the most diverse housing that's available. You can find water privileged communities such as Arden, boasting beautiful community beaches and other amenities. Within these developments, homes are available from $200,000 to several million. Downtown Annapolis offers condominium living starting around $200,000, historic townhomes, and single family homes, restored to magnificence. An area like Da-vidsonville affords manor estate type homes with multi-ple acre lots. Crofton, Gambrills, and Odenton offer condominiums, semi-detached homes, townhomes, and single family homes. This array allows people across the economic spectrum to live in those communities. Newer developments such as Piney Orchard and Sev-ern Oaks have done a great job of planning in ameni-ties such as Community centers, gyms, athletic fields, playgrounds, swimming pools, commercial areas for shopping and commerce. Adult oriented communities are available for the lifestyles that are preferred by folks over 55. We also get the benefit of having a large choice in styles of homes. You can find traditional colo-nials, split levels, ranchers, contemporaries, split foyers, cottages, raised ranchers, and contemporary colonials, As you can see, we're very fortunate to live in this are-as. As the real estate mantra goes, location, location, location is everything.

Looking at the subject not related to real es-tate, that we should appreciate in our daily lives, let's talk about physical fitness. What was the first gym you

remember? For me, it was the Holiday Spa, circa 1975. What was the first store you can remember where you could buy personal workout equipment? Our current generation is very fortunate to have amazing access to physical fitness opportunities. For a nominal fee, we can join a neighborhood gym, with an array of workout equipment that would have astounded the Roman le-gions. If you don't want to leave your home, buy some inexpensive equipment, set it up in your basement, and turn on your favorite entertainment media while you

work out. Need some motivation from someone else? Hire a personal trainer to come to your home. They can be your own personal drill sergeant.

And here's the newest form. Set your smartphone or smartwatch, or fitness bands to track your daily physical conditions and activities. The possi-bilities are endless.

These are amazing times. As we go through our daily routines, it's sometimes difficult to pause for a moment and reflect on what we have. I'm hoping, that by reading these articles, you'll have the opportunities to stop for a moment and reflect. Again, I welcome sug-gestions for other topics to be covered in this series.

For more information on this and other real es-tate matters, please visit me at alchefsellshomes.com.

Chances are good that a new combination of Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs already on the market may help those with chronic Lyme and other maladies that mimic the later, more expensive and ex-tensive, disabling stages of Lyme disease, Barnes said.

In light of the new studies, doctors are more likely to treat the disease with a combination of antibiotics, and some are coming to realize their patients are not suffer-ing "relapse" but rather continuing infections.

If you've been treated for Lyme disease but are still experiencing symptoms, it would be worth discussing the latest findings with your doctor. With science on your side, a cure may be possible.
