Fiber to Home on Schedule by Bill Henneberry, Member/Project Director

Fiber to Home (F2H) is on schedule to be here this season!  Comcast, Deep Fiber Solutions and ORCA have been working diligently to place the new Fiber Optic Network throughout the Ocean Reef community. Project Update

Currently, all Homes and condo buildings have all been surveyed to determine where to drop the fiber to enter the building (the “D” mark).  Additionally, nearly 300

of our homes have had the fiber dropped from the pedestal in front of the house to that mark. Fifty of those have had the new boxes and ONU’s (optical network signal conversion units) attached to the home. Plans are being drawn to handle all of the various types of connections in our many shapes and sizes of residential properties. We expect to have all of the drops completed by mid-December. In addition, Condominium units have been undergoing inspections and rewiring as well, with great support from our Property Management Companies and Public Safety. More than 400 units have been upgraded to date (including many in Fairway Lakes, Cay Harbor, Angelfish Cay, Pumpkin Cay, Creek House, Sanctuary, Landings

and Marina Village). We are on schedule to complete all of the condo inspection/rewiring work by December 1. Modem and TV Packages

You CAN drive 55!

Carol Ellis seems to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right amount of photographic talent! She shared her September Super Moonrise with us, wow. Did you see something interesting or unique in your travels about The Reef? On land, in the water or in the air? We invite you to share your discoveries within our environment, email [email protected] or visit us on Facebook!

Remember that old song by Sammy Hagar where he shouts in frustration, “I can’t drive… 55”? Good news, that no longer has to be anyone’s anthem who travels down CR 905 from Ocean Reef to Key Largo. The dispute over the bike paths has been resolved and the speed limit has been restored back to a comfortable 55 m.p.h. So yes, you can drive 55!

Fiber 2 Home Continued from | 1 the surveys by ORCA/Comcast. Modem and TV installations for single family homes and condos will be done by appointment only and Members and/or their caretakers will be contacted as appropriate. It is anticipated that the installations will take until March to complete. Deep Fiber also plans to have the old coax in our street conduits change over to Fiber by year end.  Street Work Ongoing

By the end of October, Deep Fiber Solutions Inc., will be working on your street, in front of your house and more specifically at the green Comcast pedestals. The green pedestals are typically near the street in front of your home. These pedestals are currently installed in a dedicated utility easement and will be replaced with new ones that are made for the new optical system (pictured in dark green). These new units will need to have their 15”x 15” base planted 12 inches deep into the ground. This will take some digging and often a jack

hammer to install. Deep Fiber Solutions Inc. has asked that residents move any plants, flowers or ground cover that surrounds the pedestals as this replacement work will disturb the area by about 3 ft in all directions. If you have any vegetation that needs to be moved, now is the time to have it done.If they are in that utility easement they will not be restored once the pedestal work is complete.  If you have any questions, please send to: comcast_oceanreef @comcast.com (note the _ after comcast and before oceanreef).

Ocean Reef’s Sommeliers

Cultural Center Events

by Holly Houser, Ocean Reef Press Staff

The Cultural Center 2016 – 2017 Season brochure has been mailed to our Cultural Center Donors and Equity Members this week. There will be another mailing in a few weeks for our social members. Ticket requests can be emailed to the Cultural Center at [email protected] ; at this time we are unable to accept ticket requests by phone. Performance ticket requests will be processed in order of the date they are received and by donor level. All Non-Donor tickets will be processed after November 15.

Do you know the purpose of swirling a glass of wine? Can you name the five large sub-regions of Burgundy, France? Eight of our Food & Beverage Associates who are newly certified Sommeliers can answer these questions and more. Over the course of the summer, Port O’Call Manager Micah Winecoff guided Food & Beverage Managers and Managers-in-training through a curriculum he created to help them prepare for the Court of Master Sommeliers Level 1 Introductory Exam. A Sommelier is a trained wine professional, specializing in all aspects of wine service and wine and food pairing. Master Sommelier is the fourth and last level; a certification in which approximately 230 people in the world hold. Micah, who is a Level 2 Sommelier and has been studying for almost four years with the goal of becoming a Master Sommelier, led seven classes where he broke down the important parts of different regions and the wines that come from them. Every day Micah sent the class five review questions to ensure the information stayed fresh in their minds. Coming from the Islander, 19th Hole and Gianni Ristorante, all eight Associates who took his course passed the exam, achieving Level 1 Sommelier status. As a result, the Associates who went through this process are more knowledgeable about the products on their respective

wine lists. They’ve developed the skills to better describe wines and recommend food pairings, which will lead to superior Member service. “If a Member asks for a wine that’s not on your wine list, Sommeliers know wine well enough to find something similar the Member would enjoy,” explained Micah. “With expanded wine lists in all of the Club’s restaurants, it’s important for Associates to be able to have knowledgeable conversations with those they are serving.” The Clubhouse Maitre D’ Philippe Babin, one of the Associates who took the exam, agrees that the Level 1 certification improves Associates’ ability to communicate with Members. As the popularity of Port O’Call Wine Tastings and Vine to Table Dinners have increased over the years, it’s clear that Members’ interest in wine is peaking. “Our wine lists are more diverse and our Members are well-educated about wine,” Philippe said. “The Level 1 certification is a great tool giving us confidence as servers and managers to talk intelligently about wine.”

The Metropolitan Opera

Saturday, October 8 at 12:00PM we will have a Met Live presentation of Tristan und Isold. Wagner’s breathtaking meditation on love and death holds a unique place in the opera world. Its music has astounded, infuriated, and inspired audiences since it was first heard, and the title roles are acknowledged as among the most extraordinarily demanding in opera. The vocal challenges, the sumptuous symphonic scale of the orchestral writing, and the mystical nature of the story, with its opportunities for creative visual design, make this awe-inspiring work a phenomenon of the repertory. Then on Saturday, October 22 at 12:55PM we will have a live showing of Don Giovanni.

Aided by his ingenious librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte, Mozart approached his operatic retelling of the Don Juan myth from a point of view that is neither tragic nor entirely comic, but rather lighthearted, urbane, and ironic. We follow the title character and his earthy comic sidekick, Leporello, through a series of encounters that begins with a fatal duel, moves back and forth between the humorous and the sentimental, and ends with the protagonist being dragged down to hell. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the door. National Theatre Live

Thursday, October 13th at 2:00PM join us for The Threepenny Opera, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s classic musical theatre piece is adapted by Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) and directed by Rufus Norris (Everyman, London Road). As London’s East End scrubs up for the coronation, Mr. and Mrs. Peachum gear up for a bumper day in the beggary business. Keeping tight control of the city’s underground – and their daughter’s whereabouts. With Olivier Award-winner Rory Kinnear (Hamlet, Othello, James Bond) as Macheath, alongside Rosalie Craig (As You Like It, My Family and other Animals) as Polly Peachum and Haydn Gwynne (The Windsors, Drop the Dead Donkey) as Mrs. Peachum. Contains questionable language and content. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the door.

venient and easy- we hope you find this patient portal helpful! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Everyone is aware that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it’s a great reminder for everyone (including men) to be vigilant about checking for unusual changes in breast tissue and to get those all important screening tests done. The American Cancer Society states the following on their website: “In 2015, an estimated 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed among U.S women, as well as an estimated 60,290 additional cases of in-situ breast cancer. That year, approximately 40,290 U.S women were expected to die from breast cancer. Only lung cancer accounts for more cancer deaths in women. Breast cancer incidence rates are highest in non-Hispanic white women, followed by African American women and are lowest among Asian/Pacific Islander women. “ If you haven’t scheduled your mammogram won’t you do so today? Don’t be a 2016 statistic. Breast cancer is treatable and curable when caught early. Visit us on the web at www. mcor.org. Flu season is coming! Call to schedule your flu shot at the Medical Center.

We Mourn the Loss Nancy Welbourn

Nancy P. Welbourn died on Sunday, September 11 from congestive heart failure. The daughter of Raeburn H. Parker, treasurer of Air Corp. Co., and Alice Lawrence Parker, a second cousin of Winston Churchill, Nancy Parker was born in New York City and raised in Tuxedo Park, NY. After graduating from the Mary C. Wheeler School in Providence, RI in 1942, she attended Briarcliff Junior College in Briarcliff, NY getting her degree in 1944. During her summers, she would don her cowboy boots and blue jeans, something proper New York women just didn’t do in those days, and take the train to Steamboat Springs, Colorado to teach riding and drama at the Perry-Mansfield Camp. In 1944, she moved to Baltimore taking a teaching job at the Garrison Forest School. She continued at the school until her marriage to

the late E. Hambleton Welbourn, Jr., her husband of 62 years. She raised her family just over the hill from Garrison Forest School where she lived until moving to Blakehurst Retirement Community in 2000. Nancy raised her own three children as well as three other young teens that came to live with the family, growing vegetables and flowers in her extensive gardens. She served on the vestry, sang in the choir and taught Sunday School at St. Thomas Church Garrison Forest, her church for 72 years. Beginning in 1980, she and her husband wintered at Ocean Reef. She was very active at the Health & Tennis Club, playing tennis and working out with a trainer three times a week. She served as secretary for Habitat for Humanity of South Florida and tutored at Key Largo School where she was named 2005 volunteer teacher of the year. She is survived by her three children: Lucy W. Johnson (Charlottesville, VA), Nancy W. Edds (Fargo, ND), and Edward H. Welbourn, III (Owings Mills, MD), as well as eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She was a member of the Green Spring Valley Hunt Club, Ocean Reef Club, and the Green Spring Valley Garden Club. A remembrance service was held on September 21, 2016. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Thomas Church Garrison Forest 232 St. Thomas Lane Owings Mills, MD 21117 or Paul’s Place 1118 Ward St. Baltimore, MD 21230.

We Mourn the Loss

Herbert Matthews, Sr.

Herbert Ray Matthews, Sr., born January 5, 1929, a “plain ole country boy”, passed away peacefully on Mon, Sept 26, 2016. Herb was loved by many, was the son of Jason and Pauline Matthews, of Marietta, GA. He married Patricia Lea Benton in Atlanta, in 1957, and was blessed with two children, Lea Matthews Butler and Herbert Ray “Chip” Matthews, Jr.  The words that describe Herb best are: humble beginnings, perseverance, hard working, extremely loving, and generous. He grew up on a farm with eight brothers and sisters. He learned to milk cows and plow fields behind the family’s mule. He graduated from Marietta High School and Georgia State University. Herb honorably served his country in the Naval Reserves. With

Herb’s perseverance and hard work, hearty hand shake and bone-crushing hugs, he rose to be the president of Benton Brothers Film Express, Benton Express, Benton Film Forwarding, Air Van Inc., and The 4M Operating Corp. He was the chairman of the Georgia Motor Trucking Assoc., Film Air Package Carriers Conference, American Trucking Association, and National Film Service. Personal accomplishments included Chairman of the Variety Club of Atlanta, Allatoona Yacht Club, and others. There was never anything that Herb got involved in that he didn’t rise to the top. He and Patty spent fifty-six blissful years of marriage together, splitting their time between Atlanta, and The Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, FL. At Ocean Reef, Herb and Patty jumped in with both feetjoining the Racquet Club, Yacht Club, and Card Sound Golf Club. He also was on the Board of Directors at the Ocean Reef Medical Center, Card Sound Golf Club, and The Cultural Center. His most notable accomplishments at Ocean reef was the founder of the Prescription Delivery Service and the recipient of the Spirit of the Club Award in 2015. A Memorial Service will be announced for November.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Herb’s name to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, www.lls.org, or to Visiting Nurse Health System, www.vnhs.org.

We Mourn the Loss Barbara Gintel

Barbara Lois Gintel, aged 84, died peacefully at home on September 28, 2016, after a courageous 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Barbara was born October 14, 1931, in Queens, New York, the adopted daughter of deceased Bernard H. Ray and Edna Bromfield, who raised her in Great Neck, New York. Barbara thoroughly enjoyed outdoor athletics, photography and the other arts. She learned to swim and sing at age four and riding horses at six. She won numerous athletic, swimming and diving awards while attending The Leonard School for Girls in New York. She continued to enjoy swimming, horseback riding and the arts, honing her skill sets throughout her life. In 1952 Barbara married the love of her life, Robert M. Gintel. In addition to raising their three children, she worked as a Volunteer Candy Striper at the local St.

Agnes Community Hospital in White Plains, New York, and as a teacher’s aid for children with learning differences at both the Summit and Windward Schools in New York. After moving around 13 times while Bob was building his investment business, Barbara and Bob finally took up residence in Greenwich, Connecticut, and Ocean Reef Club, where she became an avid photographer whose artistic passion brought her many awards. Her most celebrated and widely recognized photograph is one of a local bearded man at the side of Card Sound Road – “ Card Sound Man and His Dog ” that helped Barbara raise funds for a number of charitable organizations. Barbara’s memberships in various clubs were quite extensive. She was an avid tennis player at the Armonk Tennis Club in NewYork and various tennis clubs at Ocean Reef; an accomplished artist, painter and sculptor at the Gedney Way Art Studio in New York and the Art League in Ocean Reef; and a talented singer with the Ginger Snapps singing group, also at Ocean Reef. Barbara is survived by her husband of 65 years, Robert; three children, Debra, Jay and Bruce; son-in-law Richard; daughter-inlaw Lauran; four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A celebration of life in her memory is being considered at the present time. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift in Barbara’s honor to the Baptist Health Foundation, Mariner’s Hospital, 91500 Overseas Highway, Tavernier, FL 33070.

We Mourn the Loss Sheila Meredith

Sheila Kay Provost Meredith, “Sheesh”, 76, wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, artist, onion aficionado, and champion of grace and class, died peacefully at her home in Stonington, CT on Friday, September 30, 2016, after a long, well fought battle with ovarian cancer. Born an only child in the shadows of Rocky Mountains of Denver, Colorado to Donald and “Deanie” Provost, she never met a book she didn’t like, walked home every day during lunch to eat de-crusted PB&Js with her mom, and began her life-long love affair with Tex-Mex cuisine. After graduating from Denver’s South High School, and initially enrolling in the School of Music, Sheila earned a BA in Education from CU Boulder. As a young teacher, Sheila wrangled first graders in the New England using her love of music and art to ignite their passion to learn and met a dashing young

gent. They swept each other off their feet for 53 years of wedded love and backgammon. Too humble to have her many years of spiritual and community service touted, if you ever worked with her, you are a better person for it. Multi-faceted musician, Sheila has received international acclaim for her rendition of “Somebody Stole My Pants”. When she wasn’t snuggling on kids, grandkids, and grand-dogs, She loved teaching polymer clay or jewelry beading, taking cooking classes and chopping onions, and was always in the middle of a stack of books. The legacy she leaves behind is that the most important thing is family. In a recent interview, Sheesh commented, “The only thing I ever wanted was to have a great family.” Mission accomplished….Summa Cum Laude. She is survived by her husband and card partner Dave Meredith of Ocean Reef, Florida; daughter Kerri Meredith of Weston, CT; son Adam Meredith of Frederick, MD; daughter Ali Moseley of Driggs, ID; eleven grandchildren, three grand-dogs, oodles of nieces, nephews, and communities full of fabulous friends. Her love of family, the arts, and a really great taco are gifts that will endure. Services will be held on Sunday Oct. 9, 2016 at 1pm at Norfield Congregational Church in Weston, CT. Spontaneous celebrations of her awesomeness are being reported across the country. In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting a great teacher in the classroom, an artist in the studio, a researcher tackling the cancer conundrum, or the Chapel at Ocean Reef.

We Mourn the Loss Polly Swindell

Mary Young Swindell, known to everyone as Polly, passed away on October 1 in Key Largo,

Florida, surrounded by her family. Polly was born in White Plains on March 29, 1938. Her family moved to Millbrook in the 1950’s where her father, Col. Rod Young, created Trotwood Farm on Tower Hill, one of Millbrook’s most picturesque farms where the fields were filled with Black Angus cattle. For several years Trotwood Farm was the site of an annual Fourth of July concert by the Hudson Valley Philharmonic that attracted the entire community. Polly attended Millbrook High School and went on to the University of Pennsylvania. For many years, before her parents died, she lived on Pugsley Hill Road. After her first marriage to Tommy Johnson

ended in divorce, she married Leroy Swindell. They built a new house on Trotwood Farm with a view over the hills looking south and divided their time between Millbrook and Hawaii where her father had a home. After her parents died, the Swindell’s moved their winter quarters to Key Largo. Polly was an accomplished horsewoman, starting at a young age riding her parents’ gaited show horses. She was proud to show a wall of ribbons won from competing with saddlebreds in riding and driving classes. She also foxhunted and enjoyed trail rides with her family. She was a skilled photographer, picture framer, and stained glass artist. She loved croquet, and had Millbrook’s first croquet

lawn where aficionados of the game gathered in proper attire and with utmost seriousness. She also raised and bred champion Italian Greyhounds. Polly also enjoyed and participated in many activities at Anglers and Ocean Reef Club. She ran croquet at Anglers for many years and initiated the Commodores dog show, Art League classes, and photo books. Polly is survived by her daughters Sara Duff and Suzanne Conklin, stepson Sam Swindell, grandchildren Clayton and Christopher Heft, Maverick and Paige Conklin, James, Jack and Colette Swindell and great granddaughter, Lyra Heft. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Medical Center at Ocean Reef.

Ocean Reef Yacht Club “Tastes” Boston by Terry Baxter

In what has become one of the most popular ORYC traditions, yacht clubbers gathered in Boston for the annual “Fall Cruise.” Commodore Henry Stout and wife Suzanne (Queen of the Fleet) welcomed a dozen boats and 210 yacht club members to their home town, Beantown. Among the skippers who dipped their toes in Boston Harbor were the Schmetterers on

Blue Moon, the Lists on Acadia, the Andersons on Duchess, the Zeiglers on Ziggy, The Woods on Jupiter, and the Bloom on Moderation. All were treated to four action packed days at the Boston Harbor Hotel, including a Boston Harbor dinner cruise, Duxbury oysters, Duck boats, the Freedom Trail, a lobster fest at the Boston Aquarium, museums, dine-around, cocktails on the Rowes Wharf patio at sunset, and a lavish dinner dance with a sensational band and ambitious dance moves. The end of summer extravaganza has become the favorite way to reconnect after months of scattered rendezvous in ports throughout the east coast. Just as we thought we had recovered from the busy Ocean Reef social schedule, we returned home from Boston to regain consciousness and plan our calendar for Ocean Reef again. Work, work, work.

Students Participate in Coastal Cleanup Day by Elizabeth Carroll, 6th Grade, Academy at Ocean Reef

The Academy at Ocean Reef, Ocean Reef Club, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary teamed up for International Coastal Cleanup Day on September 16. Students from grades 3-8, teachers, and parents kayaked out from Buccaneer island to clean up the mangroves. Kayaks, trash bags,  and guides were provided by Ocean Reef Recreation Department. The volunteers found many different types of trash, including buoys, water bottles, bottle tops, rope, shoes, lunch boxes, backpacks, hair conditioner,

fishing line, and oil cans. The Academy’s new Principal, Christina Simonds, believes this ongoing project is significant because, “It is important to teach our students that they can make a difference by taking care of the environment.  Our students are learning to be environmental stewards by protecting wildlife habitats close to home.”

First Alligator to Hatch in Nature Center

Club will keep Coral and Reef, the two young alligators that have lived in the Nature Center for the past year. Baby Alligator Facts

Alligators are born with one tooth, sometimes referred to as the egg tooth. This one tooth helps the gators hatch out of their shell. ◆◆ A female alligator can lay 20 – 50 eggs. That’s a lot of siblings! ◆◆ Sex of the alligator is determined by incubation temperature. The newborns in the Nature Center are most likely female since the temperature was 86 degrees. If the temperature had been raised to 93 degrees, they would have most likely been males. ◆◆

by Katie Salvato, Ocean Reef Press Staff

On August 31 the first alligator hatched in the ORC Nature Center. Appropriately named August, she was shortly joined by more siblings in September . The Alligator Farm loaned Ocean Reef Club six eggs so we could watch the incubation and hatching process. Under the care of Jeanette Rivera, Reef residents were able to observe the eggs for six weeks. Perhaps the most eager Reef resident was Olaf the Cat, who took to perching on top of the cabinets to watch the incubating eggs and eventual newborn alligators. The hatchlings will stay with us until November, when they will then be returned to the Alligator Farm. Ocean Reef

Two of the alligator hatchlings in the Nature Center.

See the Hatchlings!

All Reef residents are welcome to visit with the newborn alligators. The Nature Center is open Friday through Sunday, 2 to 5 p.m. Jeanette Rivera will help Members handle the young reptiles, answer questions and tell us fun facts about these animals. For additional information and details, please call 305-3672611 ext. 2473.

Tennis Traditions Continue “Tennis Shorts” by Jim Morton, Director of Tennis

This year, September was not the traditional slow month.  It began with Labor Day weekend. Always considered a busy weekend but this year it was even livelier than in past years.  Highlighting the weekend was the birthday party that Sandra Fish threw for her husband Kevin.  The round robin which included 24 players helped to fill the courts at the Tennis & Games Center creating an exciting buzz as one of the main gathering hubs on the Reef for the weekend! Next up was a member tennis trip to The Greenbrier Resort, in White Sulfur, West Virginia.  Although the resort’s famous golf course’s took a beating in

Kevin Fish and JIm Morton at Greenbrier.

the devastating flood early in the summer, the tennis courts were in fantastic shape.  Highlights of the 4-day excursion included a tour of the one-time secret Congressional Bunker, dinner at their private club restaurant, The Summit, and a match played on their 2,000 seat stadium court.  Legendary Pro Golfer, Lee Trevino who is their Golf Pro Emeritus, even stopped by the courts to offer a few words of encouragement to the players!  What an amazing experience! So… September was great but look what’s next up for October- The Harvest Moon Tennis and Croquet Extrava-

ganza!  This is the 22nd year of this kickoff to the new season in tennis and once again our tennis member extraordinaire, ClaireBear McCann invites all tennis and croquet players to join us for this annual event!  The event takes place on Wednesday, October 19th with the tennis and croquet events scheduled to take place at 4:00p.m. Following the activities, we will have our pot luck dinner at the Tennis & Games Center. All participants are asked to contact either the Pro Shop at 367-6583 or Tennis Concierge Lindsey Vermillion at 305-522-1519 to let her know what dish you are going to bring.  Remember, we will provide a turkey and ham while also providing soft drinks, beer and wine.  We will have a bartender available for those who prefer “stronger” adult beverages for purchase.  This event is put on by the Ladies’ and Men’s Tennis Association and is complimentary to all members of the Associations.  Others are welcome but there is a charge of $15 per person for the dinner.  If you are back on The Reef please contact us so that we can add you to this annual tennis tradition.

What’s wrong? “Golf Tip” by Brian Varsey, Head Teaching Professional

When someone comes for a lesson the first thing I want to know is what the student wants to improve. The most common responses I hear are that the student is ‘lifting their head’, or ‘not finishing their swing’. I rarely hear information that would be helpful such as, ‘I’m hitting the ground before the ball to often’ or ‘the ball is curving left too much’. Golfers are typically too aware of what they think their body is doing wrong,

rather than what is happening externally. The direction the ball is going, if it is being struck solidly, or failure with a certain type of shot is the important thing to know. When we see the Ryder Cup contestants playing at such a high level under intense pressure, they are very in tune with athletic external outcomes. Swing the club in this direction, or even better, hit the ball in that direction. They have practiced enough to be competent and then need to forget the conscious thinking and perform athletically. Our new TrackMan launch monitor will help give you information so you can better learn how to become competent in making the ball go where you want. Come by the Academy of Golf and learn how to play better.

models and a major source of encouragement. You will be much more likely to stick to a fitness program when you work out with a trainer. Efficiency: time is our most precious commodity. Maximize your time in the gym by having a Personal Trainer design workouts to meet your goals quickly and efficiently. Safety: proper movement form and smart exercise selection minimizes the risk for workout injuries. This is particularly important when recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain or weak spots. Personalized Instruction: what works for one person does not necessarily work for another. Personal Trainers evaluate, assess and design programs to meet each individual needs and goals.

Presenting new challenges: Personal Trainers live and breathe fitness and they always have a new challenge or trick up their sleeves to prevent you from plateauing. Pushing the limits: you are stronger than you think. Personal Trainers know how good it feels to move the bar up on our perceived limitations. Special Needs Programming: Personal Trainers will ensure that you are following the correct exercise guidelines according to general and specific medical recommendations. Sports-Specific Training: you do not have to be a professional athlete to reap the benefits of sport specific training. Personal Trainers can tailor a fitness program to help you get more power on your golf swing or tennis serve. Train to play and watch your scores improve.

Here at Ocean Reef we were prepared for Hurricane Matthew. Club Management, ORCA, Public Safety and Monroe County held meetings and conference calls in the days leading up to Matthew’s projected landfall. Ocean Reef Club and South Florida were spared. The Club recorded just one half inch of rain. However, just 700 miles southeast of Miami, Matthew had a devastating impact. Parts of Haiti, where more than 200 of our most loyal, long-term associates have family, were leveled. The headline above reads like a cruel case of déjà vu. As in 2010, when an earthquake put many of these same families in jeopardy, so many of our Members immediately came to their aid to assist in any way they could, some going so far as to organize private flights from our Airport. In the end, $350,000 were raised. For Associates to see their Ocean Reef Club family helping support their Haitian family was a remarkable and unforgettable experience. On October 11, 2016 a collaborative email was sent out from Bob Schmetterer, Chairman of Ocean Reef Club, Bill Nutt, Chairman of the Ocean Reef Community Foundation and Michael Leemhuis, Ocean Reef Club President, to the entire Membership making a Haiti | 3

Seasonal King Tides Reach New Heights Annual high tides surged a foot above predictions

This year’s seasonal king tides swelled again throughout South Florida in October, flooding low-lying coastal areas from Palm Beach to Key West, including our own Ocean Reef Club community. King tides are expected in the spring and autumn, but three primary factors — the low orbit of a full moon, water temperatures and weather conditions — can create “an anomaly” that turns normally damp areas into shallow lakes. The annual high tides averaged about a foot above normal this year, compounded by the rising sea-levels and the

King Tide’s effect in the Lagoon.

offshore currents from late-season Hurricane Nicole. The king tide—predicted to be 2.5 feet above average, instead logged in at 3.42 feet higher.— South Florida has been dealing with the effects of king tides for decades, but these higher tides are proving more challenging. Seawater topped seawalls, rose through storm drains and created havoc for coastal residents and businesses. The result was soggy streets,

and flooding that took several days for the waters to recede. At Ocean Reef Club, the Marina saw small amounts of water come over the sea wall, and at Buccaneer Island, the impact was primarily seen at the lagoon. The Ocean Reef Airport, which recently had successful improvements made to its drainage system that remove rainwater run off was affected by these tides. “This is by far the largest volume

of water we’ve seen at the Airport in the past six years, and while the airport repairs were expected to reduce the tidal issues, we were well aware that they would not eliminate them,” said Ocean Reef Club Board Member Rich Beyer, who chairs the Airport Committee. “Airport Manager Erika Torres and her team did an excellent job of communicating to all in advance about the conditions, and shutting off pumps to prevent erosion and damage to the runway.” “We know that our Key Largo location is the number one reason why Members choose Ocean Reef Club, and with splendid weather also comes some extreme tidal conditions that all South Florida coastal communities face.” said Ocean Reef Club Board Chairman Bob Schmetterer. “I’m enormously proud of our entire community’s response to this tidal event, and know that we’re in good stood stead as we forward to dealing with the occasional king tide challenge.”

Haiti Continued from | 1 similar appeal as in 2010, to help Haitian Associates’ families. Within minutes, donations began to come in to oceanreef. com. Within an hour, $35,000 had been committed. At the writing of this article, more than $210,000 has been raised. While mainstream media may have forgotten the story, the Club and the Ocean Reef Community Foundation have not. This is an ongoing effort. Both continue to see donations coming in through the website, the mail and through ORCF’s donor-advised funds. Club Associates held a clothing and essentials drive the week of October 17 and were able to contribute truckloads for a container leaving for Haiti this week. Your Club and the Ocean Reef Community Foundation continue to offer two ways to help:

The first is a tax-deductible donation through the Ocean Reef Community Foundation. Donated funds are already being put to good use through an initial gift to All Hands Volunteers, an organization we worked closely with after the 2010 earthquake, and grants to other organizations that can most benefit the families of our associates are being researched and in the works.  The second is a donation directly to the Club. These donations will be used for specific requests from our Haitian associates in need. Visit oceanreef.com/haiti or you may mail your check to the Club to: 35 Ocean Reef Drive, Suite 200, Key Largo, FL 33037 Attn: Haiti Relief or to ORCF: 35 Ocean Reef Drive, Suite 138, Key Largo, FL 33037. Our hope is that this quick action and strong support will enable us to have an immediate impact on the families of our associates.

Cultural Center Events The Film Society at the Cultural Center is back! We will begin the season with a Special Screening of Love and Friendship. Following the film we will be joined by Whit Stillman, one of the present day’s most notable independent directors. He will discuss his latest success, Love and Friendship, hailed by critics for “exceptional style” and “incredible performances”. This is an event that you will not want to miss. Join us Thursday, November 3 at 2:30 p.m. This event is complimentary and open to the community. Film Seminar; Legendary Directors and Filmmakers.

Tuesday mornings from 9:3011:30 a.m. $100 includes all four seminars Calling all film enthusiasts…..

Film Directors are the single-most important creative force in

film-making. They visualize how scripts should be brought to life and guide the cast and crew to achieve fulfillment of that vision. An individual director can have a tell-tale personal style that identifies him, whether the film is a Western or a Comedy. Without these directors we would not know such quotes as “Luke I am your father” or “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” This year our Film Seminars will explore four iconic directors; John Ford, Francis Ford Coppola, Francois Truffaut and Billy Wilder. Participants will pre-view selected films then meet in a small discussion group where we will break down the film and identify the creator’s technique and style. The Film Seminar is an opportunity to enhance awareness of visual and psychological techniques that are vital to the art of film and film-making. Registration is limited – call or email the Cultural Center at 305-367-6300 or [email protected] to sign up.

We Mourn the Loss

Louise “Louisa” Simpson May Pease

Louisa enjoyed bringing her intensity and charm to her family, friends, and communities where she lived. Born in 1930, Louisa adored her father, Benjamin May, who built the May Hosiery Company in Burlington, NC. Growing up, she loved playing with her ponies and many cats. Louisa spent her time gardening, growing her Lutheran faith, and mastering needlework and watercolor. Louisa graduated from Duke University as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She then moved to Washington, DC where she met and married David Pease, Jr. Louisa and David lived in Cincinnati, OH where they raised their three children, Ann, David and Jennifer. She was wonderfully creative and shared that creativity with her children. A favorite memory is looking at the stars and constel-

lations in the night sky with her. Louisa knew the names of every star and planet. She enjoyed playing tennis, working puzzles, and organizing events at the Racquet Club, Chapel and Angler’s Club. She was a member of the Art League and was talented at water color painting. She once orchestrated a spectacular Haley’s Comet viewing event at Buccaneer Island because of her keen interest in Astronomy. One of her most passionate pursuits was Bridge. She was a Duplicate Bridge Master. She started the Duplicate Bridge games at Ocean Reef Club over 40 years ago which she enjoyed and took great pride in. Louisa was recently honored for her leadership, commitment and talent to the success of the Bridge game. Louisa loved Jesus, and was somewhat of an evangelist as she brought many people to know the Lord, including tennis champion, Margaret Court. She is survived by her three children, Ann, David and Jennifer. Louisa loved her ocean view from her patio. She lived a life with many blessings, and passed away peacefully at the age of 86 on October 7, 2016. We miss her so much. Well known by many at Ocean Reef, members and employees alike, it was hard go anywhere without someone saying “Oh, I know Louisa...how is your mom?” A small Memorial Celebration took place Sunday, Oct 23. at her place of residence. Another one is being considered.

We Mourn the Loss

Robert Morris Gintel

Robert M. Gintel, the Ocean Reef philanthropist who adopted the Keys and much of South Florida as his home, passed away on Sunday, October 9, 2016. Robert M. Gintel was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on March 31, 1928. He attended Poly Prep in Brooklyn, New York, before receiving his B.A. from Columbia University and his M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School. While serving in the U.S. Air Force as a First Lieutenant in the Strategic Air Command, he married the late Barbara (Ray) Gintel. In 1969, Mr. Gintel started Gintel & Co., which grew into the largest bond brokerage operation in the United States. After selling the company in 1985, he concentrated on Gintel Asset Management, Inc., the investment advisory company he founded in 1971in Greenwich, Connecticut. In 1981 he started two of the first non-diversified mutual funds in the country and continued to manage mutual funds, equity, and fixed income accounts until he retired in 2003. During his more than 50 years in the investment business, Mr. Gintel served on the Boards of many publicly-traded companies, among them, Interway and XTRA Corporation. In his years at Ocean Reef, Mr. Gintel served as Chairman of the Ocean Reef Community Foundation and the Jacobs Aquatic Center Foundation in Key Largo. He also served on the Mariners Hospital Foundation

Board, having previously served as its Vice Chairman; the Mariners Hospital Operating Board, where he served as a member of the Executive Committee; and the Baptist Health South Florida Foundation, where he served as Treasurer. Mr. Gintel was a member of the Board of the Ocean Reef Cultural Center; a member of the Investment Committee and lifetime director of the Ocean Reef Medical Center Foundation; a member of the Board and Executive Committee of ORCAT, Ocean Reef’s pet control and care organization; and a director of the Ocean Reef Political Action Committee. Previously, Mr. Gintel was a member of the Board of Ocean Reef Public Radio, Inc.; a member of the Honorary Board of The Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment; a Director of the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center in Tavernier, Florida, where he had earlier served as its Chairman and President; and a Board member of the Ocean Reef Academy, the Friends of the Key Largo Cultural Center, and the Ocean Reef Art League, where he served as Treasurer, a member of its Investment Committee, and Founder and President of its Digital Photography Club. Mr. Gintel was also a member of the Ocean Reef Yacht and Racquet Clubs, and both he and Barbara were members of the Key Largo Anglers Club. His philanthropy extended to causes as diverse as veterans’ hospitals, the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center, the Coral Restoration Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, health and nutritional foundations, and educational institutions. Mr. Gintel is survived by his children, Debra, Jay and Bruce; son-in-law Richard; daughter-inlaw Lauran; four grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. A celebration of life in his memory is being considered at the present time. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to the Baptist Health Foundation, Mariner’s Hospital, 91500 Overseas Highway, Tavernier, FL 33070.

It is with great sadness that we have learned about the passing of both Bob and Barbara Gintel, the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center’s most important and enduring benefactors. The Wild Bird Center would not be here today if it weren’t for their foresight and generosity. Bob stepped in at a critical moment to help cement Laura Quinn’s legacy and to ensure that the wild native and migratory birds of the Upper Keys always have a safe place to receive high quality care. Bob understood the valuable service that the Wild Bird Center provides to this environment-loving community, and it was through that lens – providing a service to the community that he loved – that he so graciously lent a hand. He and Barbara most certainly had a soft spot in their hearts for birds, too!

We Scream for Ice Cream… and More! by Jody Steele Sisters Teddy and Rachael McNaughton enjoy afternoon ice cream. Rachael (right) confirms Mint Chocolate Chip is the best!

Do you crave a sunrise view of exquisite yachts, Wi-Fi, the latest newspaper, and a pumpkin spice latte? If so, Reef Treats is your kind of place. Serving all kinds of delectable morsels beginning at 7 a.m., you can choose a quiet porch seat or arrange a meeting with some other early risers. This is just the beginning of the day at Reef Treats though as it can beckon to you into the evening hours. Breakfast is served from 7 to 11 a.m. and includes pastries from the Bake Shop, a flavorful quiche or two, all types of egg sandwiches, and fresh fruit with yogurt. The most popular pastry is their Cronut

with the Signature Reef Bun close behind. Beverages abound with creative coffees and teas to tempt the most discerning customer. Looking ahead to the holidays, you can choose a peppermint mocha coffee frappe or a gingerbread spice latte to get in the spirit. After a morning of golf or a work out, a refreshing treat can cool you off. Perhaps the Arnold Palmer frappe’ that combines lemon sorbet with an ice tea or one of the new soft serve flavors (passion fruit, island coconut) that are low-fat and sugar-free will make your afternoon. No Ocean Reef grandparent can

Cake Pop display makes it oh so tempting.

resist the trip to Reef Treats with their most precious grandchildren in tow. Manager, Lani Smith shared that the most popular ice cream flavor this past year was---mint chocolate chip. The waffle cones are made fresh daily at Reef Treats and are filled with 16 varieties of ice cream, 8 kinds of gelato, or soft serve delights. Actually, even though the cones are popular, Lonnie says the shakes “go out the door” as fast as they can make them. Have you tried a cinnamon ice cream topped with a shot of espresso and whip cream? Might be the pick me up you need to keep up with those energetic grandchildren. Watch for a new item that is cer-

tain to be an Ocean Reef favorite soon. Chef Philippe is calling it “fire and ice” and it is actually an ice cream panini where your favorite ice cream or gelato is scooped into a sweet bun, warmed, and finished with a topping. We cannot leave out the Ocean Reef canine set that Pastry Chef Santiago takes care of with natural biscuit treats and Chilly Paws ice cream. Just a little pampering for the best dogs in South Florida. Entertaining can be challenging, especially when you get to dessert. Check out the pastry case before your next party as Reef Treats and our Bake Shop can create individual desserts or a cake or pie. They will also deliver an individually designed preordered birthday cake along with balloons to any Ocean Reef restaurant. We surprised a granddaughter this summer at the Burgee Bar with a cake and sparkling candle along with balloons-all in her favorite color pink. It was a special moment. Looking ahead to the season and creating delicious memories in a unique setting, Reef Treats definitely needs to be on your calendar. Reef Treats has it all and more with no screaming necessary.

SPO T ON SHOPPING

Joan the Shopper PACK & CHOOSE….I’m almost finished packing for a River Cruise (Bucharest to Budapest). Just a short list of missing essentials that I found at Ocean Reef. (1) A dress for the Captain’s dinner…At J. McLaughlin I bought an attractive, packable blue and cream dress with a needlepoint square print. ($225) (2) Pants to wear for land tours ….The Golf Shop had a great navy washable pair. Ralph Lauren ($210). (3) Underwear….Orvis has the ExOfficio quick drying panties in bikini and full cut brief. I bought one of each in white. NOTE: currently a 40% sale. (4) Travel Jewelry Dockside Mart carries Crislu, jewelry embellished with faux diamonds. I’m leaving my good ring at home and wearing a Crislu. I bet Kim Kardashian is sorry she didn’t do that.

Wynn’s has a “Trial & Travel” kiosk with sample size toothpaste, hair spray, shampoo, deodorant, etc. (6) overflow…. I expect to shop on the trip. So at the Signature Shop I bought the lime green bag (pictured) which folds up to fit into the little bag. Now I’m all set for a Bon Voyage! — JOAN BIRSH

Promotions in Food & Beverage by Holly Houser, Ocean Reef Press Staff

What’s new in the world of Food & Beverage at The Reef? The F&B department has recently had several promotions, reassignments, and transfers for the 2016-17 season. One of the many wonderful things about Ocean Reef Club are the opportunities offered to Associates. With our amazing training program, Associates are able to move around with ease, expand their skills and work with some of the best mentors in their fields. Burgee Bar

Melissa Villanueva: Melissa has worked at Ocean Reef for nine years. Beginning as a Bartender at the Burgee Bar, she worked her way up to Burgee Bar Supervisor. Antoine Armani: Antoine joined Ocean Reef full time in 2014 and was promoted to Islander Sous Chef in that same year. His skill and dedication has helped him earn the position of Burgee Bar Chef de Cuisine.

New! Just In!

Beach Bar & Grill

Islander

The Clubhouse

Eric Andreu: After two years as the Islander Sous Chef, Eric has been promoted to Chef de Cuisine, overseeing all Club sushi production. Aaron O’Donnell: Aaron has been promoted from The Ocean Room Dinner Manager to the Islander Manager, working with Diana Dardio, Mandy Fescina and Bradley Petersen. Bradley Petersen: Bradley, staying at Palm Court/Islander, was promoted from Server to Assistant Manager.

Charlotte Colon: A Club Associate for three years, Charlotte’s career began at the Beach Bar. The skills Charlotte acquired from managing Gianni and then the Islander last season will assist her in her new role as Beach Bar & Grill Manager. Eva Dobol: Eva got her start with Ocean Reef at the Burgee Bar 11 years ago. She has since been a trainer, supervisor and server at the Beach Bar, 19th Hole and Islander, and was recently promoted to the Beach Bar & Grill Supervisor. Luis Portocarrero: Luis’ last two years at the Burgee Bar as Sous Chef and Chef de Cuisine helped him earn his new position as The Clubhouse Chef de Cuisine. Philippe Babin: Philippe, an Ocean Reef Associate for just over a year, has been promoted from Islander Manager to The Clubhouse Maitre D’. Mark Ray: Mark’s career at Ocean Reef has included positions at the Galley, Islander and The Clubhouse. His experience in the various outlets helped him earn the position of The Clubhouse Senior Assistant Manager.

Reef Lounge

Adriana Oliveira: Adriana, along with Marisol, also assisted in the opening of Gianni two years ago and has been promoted from Gianni Server to Reef Lounge Supervisor. Gianni Ristorante

Marcos Cuellar: Marcos has been at The Reef for almost four years, starting as a Busser at the Islander. He has since been promoted to Gianni Assistant Manager, working with Akila Malcom and Luca Papini. Food & Beverage

Chrisna Gilchrist: Chrisna’s experience as the Catering Coordinator, and most recently Catering Manager, will make for an easy transition to her new role as F&B Executive Administrator. These Associates have made a clear commitment to bettering their careers, as well as Ocean Reef. With every Club restaurant better than the next, the move from one outlet to another will be an enjoyable experience for the Associates, allowing them to try new things, broaden their experiences and further improve Member service.

19th Hole

Danielle Piedrabuena: Danielle was a Server at 19th Hole several years ago and has recently returned to the Club as the 19th Hole Supervisor. The Ocean Room

Marisol Perez: During her time as the Gianni Assistant Manager, Marisol assisted with the opening of Gianni Ristorante; an experience that prepared her to take on her new role as The Ocean Room Dinner Manager.

As a result of generous members and residents of the Reef contributing to the Chapel Bahamas shoe mission, it was a great success. The Hartz Desire was able to deliver almost 200 pairs of shoes and other items to the North Abaco community of Mount Hope, which was in great need.  Those families send their grateful prayers and thanks to all involved.

“Spa Notes” by April Smith, Spa Manager

We had a nice surprise in The Spa on Saturday… the creators of Aromaflage, Michael and Melissa Fensterstock, came by and introduced us to their new products! Aromaflage is a 2 in 1 fine fragrance with function. Scientifically tested, effective, and beautiful, Aromaflage is a new category in beauty and wellness: fragrance with function. The original two scents and candles naturally repels mosquitoes as well as other nuisance insects. The active ingredients are recognized by the EPA as safe insect repelling agents. The natural, botanical essential oils are derived from fruits and plants whose aromas naturally repel pests. So being dual purposed, the formulation carries a wonderful aroma while

also working to protect against insect bites without containing DEET. Protect yourself and smell fantastic! The newest product is a sleep fragrance designed to let you sleep more deeply and wake up feeling rejuvenated. Made with French lavender, Brazilian rose and Madagascar vanilla, all you do is spray either yourself or pillow, get comfy, sleep restfully and wake up refreshed! I have tried it, and really love it! To try any of the Aromaflage fragrances or candles come by The Spa and enjoy!

Congratulations to Ocean Reef Golf Staff!

Each year The Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) rewards it top Professionals in the industry. This year, Ocean Reef Club is represented twice within our region. Scott Kirkwood, Director of Golf Operations and Will Paull, Assistant Golf Professional, were both chosen by their peers as industry leaders. Scott was awarded the 2016 PGA Merchandiser of the Year for Private Clubs.  This award is a testament to how dedicated Scott and his team are to providing Members and Guests with quality merchandise at Ocean Reef. Scott has been fortunate to have been selected for Merchandiser of the Year on three separate occasions! As the Secretary of Southern Florida’s PGA, Scott leads not only his team but provides leadership throughout the Chapter. Will Paull has been chosen as the 2016 Assistant Golf Professional of the Year. After he joined the Ocean Reef team in April this year, he quickly became an important part of the operation. Assisting wherever he can, Will represents the PGA and Ocean Reef while serving his peers on multiple committees within the PGA. You may also know Will as the leader and organizer of the Associate Golf Scrambles this past summer. This is Will’s first time winning

Scott Kirkwood and Will Paull with their PGA Awards.

PGA Assistant of the Year, and he is happy that it came during his first season at Ocean Reef! If you see Scott and Will please congratulate them on their well-deserved recognition. We are proud to have them both as part of our Ocean Reef team of PGA Professionals. Men’s Interclub

After the first Men’s Interclub Match at Riviera Country Club on October 20, 2016, the standings are as follows: Trump Doral – 27 Points Riviera – 22.5 Points ◆◆ Deering Bay – 20 Points ◆◆ La Gorce – 19.5 Points ◆◆ Fisher Island – 12 Points ◆◆ Ocean Reef – 7 Points ◆◆ ◆◆

Grand Masters Tournament

December 6 and 7 Ultimate Demo Day

Friday, Dec. 30

Among the countless swing methods there’s only one thing that really matters, what the golf club is doing when it strikes the ball. A certain swing thought or drill may allow you to swing differently or better, and the millisecond of contact between the club and ball is still the only thing that matters. We now have a TrackMan 4, the industry’s leading launch monitor technology. This year we will have many different programs to utilize this technology so you can learn, improve, and have more fun. We will have Gear up your Driver days to find out how to add distance to your drives, and Gapping days so you know the yardage distance between some or all of your clubs and make the gaps more consistent. There will be a TrackMan Club so you can utilize the technology on a regular basis, and we will be having a weekly TrackMan skills contest every Saturday so you can compete against others in your handicap range and see how your skills stack up. Come by the Academy of Golf or contact the Golf Shop for specific days and times for these events.

“Fitness Focus” by Luis Bracamonte, Member Fitness Center Manager

Paddleboard Yoga with Natacha Meroni Saturday, October 29th at 9am

I love to work out with the same passion that so many love to fish or play golf. For me fitness is a game of infinite possibilities for personal improvement. I can measure my gains in strength and power by my capacity to lift more weight and perform more repetitions of a specific movement. I can use time and distance to measure my improvements in stamina and I can measure the range of motion on each one of my joints to test my improvements in flexibility and mobility. By understanding movement progressions, I can teach my body to perform more complex movements, thus allowing for improvements in balance,

Harvest Moon Kicks Off Winter Season “Tennis Shorts” by Jim Morton, Director of Tennis

The 22nd annual Harvest Moon Tennis and Croquet event took place on Wednesday, October 19 under sunny skies. The event started at 4:00 p.m. with twenty tennis players playing in the changing partner round robin at the Tennis & Games Center and nine croquet players playing a fixed partner round robin on the Croquet Lawn. This is the first event of the new season and many of the players targeted returning to The Reef to participate in this treasured Club tradition!  After the tennis and

Jeff Schumer and Dori Reiter.

croquet events finished on the courts, all the players, along with some spectators, gathered upstairs to enjoy one of the most delicious meals at The Reef - our Pot Luck dinner. After the dinner the winners of each were announced.  Taking first place in tennis was Pam Truchon & Frank Paige with second place going to Wendy Brainard & Bruce Elliott.  Croquet first place winners were Ingrid Braun and Lars Dejong with Fred Evans

Claire McCann, the ultimate tennis helper.

and Ray Jensen taking second place.  Special thanks were given to Claire McCann who started this event back in 1994, along with Gail Berrey, the wife of former ORC President Bob Berrey. If you are just getting back to The Reef you will notice that the Tennis & Games Center is going through a transformation outside.  All of the fencing around the tennis courts is being replaced

Shirley Shumway and Frank Paige.

and we are adding new awnings between the courts.  We also are in the final stages of repurposing the two hard courts into 6 lighted pickleball courts. Additionally, we are adding two large awnings near court #1 and the pickleball courts for additional shading.  All work is scheduled to be completed the first week of November, weather permitting. We look forward to a season of tennis and pickleball on our updated courts.

Card & Games Corner by Gregg VanDyke, Director of Card & Game

Harvest Moon competitors.

Player of the Week Wendy Brainard

When and where did you start playing tennis?

I started playing tennis when I was in middle school in South Africa. What is your favorite tennis memory?

Playing tennis with my family, we are very competitive but hilarious to watch! What is your drink of choice after a long tennis match?

Hi and welcome to the upcoming season. I hope you had a great summer and I look forward to another great year! I want to take a moment and share with you my vision of the Ocean Reef Bridge and Gaming Club. My top priority is Member satisfaction and your thorough entertainment in the Card & Games Room. We put welfare and happiness above all else. With this as core mission of our gaming club, I believe we will thrive and become one of

the truly Unique ACBL clubs in the country! We will achieve this by running high quality bridge games, through teaching programs for all levels, seeing growth in membership and having fun. I’m proud that our group is known for our pleasentness, active ethics, competativeness and mentoring. I will do all in my power to keep these wonderful things happening. I am thorough, I go the extra mile to get things right, and I look forward to more feedback in the future that will improve our community. See you at the table.

A refreshing iced tea!

Defensive Signals

Count

Twenty-five percent of the time you will be the declarer. Twenty-five percent of the time you will be the dummy. The other fifty percent of the time you will be on defense. Defense is one of the toughest aspects of the bridge game to master. In general, defense is about communicating to your partner. You cannot see each other’s cards. You try to describe your hand to your partner though specific cards played on each trick. Attitude

If you want to describe to your partner if you like a specific suit, use attitude signals. ◆◆ ◆◆

High card encourage Low card discourage

DUMMY ♥A84 PARTNER ♥ Q 10 7 5 2

Sometimes your partner already knows your attitude on a specific suit, this is when count would be important than attitude. Count can be communicated to your partner by playing: ◆◆ ◆◆

High Card then a Low Card to show an even number of cards. Low Card then a High Card to show an odd number of cards.

DUMMY ♠ Q J 10 PARTNER ♠AK92

YOU ♠73

DECLARER ♠8654 Let’s assume partner lead the ♠A. This time you would play the ♠7 since partner already knows your attitude with this suit (since ♠QJT are in the dummy). The high card should help partner to continue with spades and play a 3rd spade to give you a ruff.

YOU ♥K93

DECLARER ♥J6 Let’s assume partner lead the ♥5 (4th best). Declarer plays the ♥A on the board. You can now show attitude to your partner’s lead by playing the ♥9, a high card that encourages partner to play hearts if he gets back on lead.

The Same Faces, But a New Look

Look What Washed Ashore

Keep Our Oceans Clean

In his second year at the helm as Dock Master, and 16th year with the Club, Tony Rodrigues, and his entire crew will be dockside this season again. Marina Supervisor, Jeff Tetrault, enters his 15th year on the team, assisting Tony. While the faces are all the same, the Dock Office itself did receive a bit of a refresh. With un updated counter, signage, lighting, and more, the office and the team alike, are now more inviting than ever.

Hang out around the ocean front long enough, and you’d be surprised what may wash ashore. In this case, it was some really good stuff. Starting this season, the Dock Office will be another Club location where Members are invited to enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee. While sipping, Marina users are also now able to take advantage of another complimentary service, our new and improved laundry room. Equipped with four washer and dryer units each, equipment is now available at no charge.

Supported in large part by a Department of Environmental Protection Agency funded grant, Ocean Reef Club is nearly complete with a muchimproved vessel pump out system. The Club applied for, and was approved, for reimbursement of the improved

The 7th and 8th graders from The Academy are hosting an Election Day Bake Sale and Lemonade Stand. We will have a variety of delicious treats and lemonade. It will be held from 8:30am-3pm in the school’s atrium on Nov. 8. We are raising money for our trip to Washington, D.C.  In Washington D.C., we will be doing hands-on activities, workshops, and learning about our country’s government. We will also be visiting monuments, museums, and watching a live debate. One of the highlights of our trip will be participating in a walking workshop; this workshop will focus on our country’s lawmakers, and we will watch a live debate of either the Senate or the House of Representatives. There will be other students from around the United States that will participate in this program, so we hope to make new friends.

Marina Continued from | 1 pump out system by the State of Florida’s, Clean Vessel Act (CVA). The CVA’s aim is to improve the water quality around the state by minimizing waste being pumped overboard. This initiative already accounts for over 22 million gallons of waste being properly disposed of statewide in the first half of the year alone. The Club’s newly-installed vacuum system will eliminate the need for Club golf carts to be used on most of the marina docks. Marina Concierge

Looking to make dining reservations from your boat? Need to reserve a golf cart or book a tee time in advance of your arrival? Well, it just got easier for everyone staying in the Marina. Three-year team member, Derek Bodchon, will kick off this season as the Club’s Marina Concierge. Already very familiar with the ebb and flow of Marina operations, Derek will now be available to assist Members in taking advantage of all the amenities and offerings available around The Club. The First Lady (… in the past 20 years …)

Regardless of the results of the upcoming election, the Marina team is excited to introduce their own ‘first lady’ to the team,

Shelby Buckman. Shelby, who has been an integral part of the Recreation Team’s successful Summer Camp program for the past four summers, running the Sailing Camps each year, will become the Marina’s first female team member in more than two decades. Shelby will be on hand daily, assisting members with all Marina operations. A Strong Signal

This fall, Comcast is installing a new WiFi network in the Marina that will provide better and more consistent signals. Comcast is also supplying fiber optic connections to the slips as part of the community-wide Fiber to Home initiative. Every slip owner will have the opportunity to receive high-speed fiber optic internet access and the latest Comcast Xfinity television options. Alarming News

In an effort to continue to keep Ocean Reef Club the safe haven that it is, our own Public Safety Team has installed channel alarms on all of the channels entering Ocean Reef Club’s waterways. These alarms are activated when any vessel passes by after dark. All Members are asked to call Public Safety at (305) 367-2222, whenever entering a channel after dark, and identify themselves. These efforts will help further preserve the unique way of life enjoyed at The Reef.

N EW S FROM THE MED IC A L C ENT ER

November is Recognized as Diabetes Month Most of us know the basics about diabetes and may even have a friend or family member that has it. Here is some information that gives us a better understanding of diabetes and it’s risks. Glucose (a form of sugar) comes from two major sources; food and your liver. Once sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream it enters the cells with the help of insulin. Our liver not only stores glucose but it also produces glucose. If you haven’t eaten in a while, glucose levels can become low and that’s when the liver breaks down stored glycogen and produces glucose.

The risk of developing Type II diabetes increases with age. Frequently it is referred to as “adult-onset” diabetes and weight gain can certainly contribute to its development. A 2014 survey by the CDC states that 25% of the population is not aware they have diabetes. Medical Center’s Nurse Practitioner Mara Cakans states, “Catching diabetes in the pre-diabetic stage and aggressively treating with lifestyle changes is crucial to preventing development of the diagnosis of diabetes.”   You should be screened if one or more of these risk factors apply to you:

Are habitually physically inactive Have previously been identified as having an impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance test ◆◆ Familial history of diabetes ◆◆ Are of a certain ethnic descent (including Asian American, African-American, Hispanic American and Native American) ◆◆ Have had gestational diabetes ◆◆ ◆◆

VI SI TI NG SPECI ALI STS

or given birth to a child weighing more than 9 pounds ◆◆ Have elevated blood pressure ◆◆ If you have low levels of highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) or high levels of triglycerides. ◆◆ Have polycystic ovary syndrome ◆◆ History of vascular disease

Diabetes can cause many other health complications. It is the leading cause of kidney failure, retinopathy, foot and skin problems, cardiovascular disease and nerve damage. The rate of amputation for people with diabetes is 10 times higher than people without diabetes. If you suspect you may be pre-diabetic you can see one of our physicians at the Medical Center. A simple blood test and exam can determine if you are at risk. If you are managing diabetes Dr. Robert Aden, endocrinologist is a visiting specialist at the Medical Center. To make an appointment, please call 367-6702. Visit us on the web at www. mcor.org. It’s flu season- remember to get your flu shot at the Medical Center.

For an appointment, please visit www.mcor.org or call ­367-6702.

What is a Screwworm? If you have driven back to Ocean Reef from Key Largo this past week you may have seen the flashing sign requiring anyone with an animal in their car to stop at the screwworm checkpoint. This police presence is a result of three Key deer on Big Pine Key testing positive for screwworms. Due to the detection of this screwworm infestation in Monroe County, Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam has declared an agricultural emergency. Below are a few answers to questions you may have, for the full Q&A visit fla-keys.com/news. What is the screwworm?

Screwworms are fly larvae or maggots that can infest livestock and other animals. They mostly infect an animal through an open wound and feed on the animal’s living flesh. The New World screwworm has not been widely present in Florida since 1959. It can still be found in South America and in several

Caribbean countries. How will I know if an animal is infected by a screwworm?

The screwworm can only enter animals through open wounds, veterinary experts said. Animal owners who notice flies or maggots in open wounds of their pets should immediately take them to a veterinarian for examination.

The Older the Better! “Spa Notes” by April Smith, Spa Manager

Can I bring my pet to the Florida Keys?

There is no prohibition against travelers bringing pets to the Keys, but veterinarians caution you to ensure your pet is healthy and has no open wounds. It is best to keep your pet indoors. All animals leaving the Keys need to be examined at the check station near mile marker 106. What will be done to eradicate the screwworm in the Keys?

Planned responses by state and federal agriculture workers are to include fly trapping to determine the extent of the infestation, release of sterile flies to eliminate the screwworm population and surveillance to monitor cases in animals. For more information, contact 800-HELP-FLA (1-800-435-7352).

Where is the only place on the Reef where a lady walks into the doors and says “I’m 65 years old today” and happily tells everyone she sees? The Spa of course! One of our most popular programs at The Spa is The Birthday Club. And if you haven’t heard about it or were not quite sure how it works, I’ll explain. We really like to celebrate birthdays here at The Spa and want to entice you to

come in on your special day. Here’s how it works - on the actual day of your birthday, you are entitled to a discount that equals how old you are. So for me, I will get 29% off (just kidding!) on my birthday on all the services I can pack into that day. Just call The Spa, tell them all the services you want to experience for the day, and the rest is up to us. The only thing we do require is that you pay the amount of gratuity that would normally be charged before the discounted birthday prices. Call The Spa today and book yourself a birthday of relaxation!! 305- 367-6506

96’ 1995 Nordlund Raised Pilothouse MY ALTISA VII represents one the most pristine, well maintained, custom Norlund Motoryachts built for her original owners in 1995. The vessel went through an extensive refit with over $4M spent in upgrades and custom features to include; new Caterpillar C30 main engines, new twin Northern Light 33KW generators, 9’ foot extension for a larger aft deck, enlarging the captain’s cabin/crew quarters along with a complete new interior, new electronics, upgraded Naiad stabilizers, bow thruster plus much more! From her beautiful interior woodwork, massive storage spaces and impeccable engine room, spacious and comfortable aft deck with grill, to her Jacuzzi on the expansive flybridge, ALTISA VII is ready for her next owners’ adventures. This vessel has only been operated by her original owner and his wife with no crew and you will enjoy seeing all the love and care that has gone into her. ALTISA VII is constantly maintained to pristine condition and must be seen to be fully appreciated!

Make Your Voice Heard!

Vote “Reef Lounge” on Election Day, Nov. 8 by Sean Carroll, Beverage Manager

First, on behalf of the entire Beverage Department, allow us to welcome you HOME once again to Ocean Reef Club! It’s been an amazing summer here at your Club, both serving our year-round and summer members, and preparing for the festivities of our Winter season as well. We’ve been hard at work improving our operations as well, which we hope you’ll

notice immediately. We’re kicking off our season at the Reef Lounge this coming week on Election Day, Tuesday, November 8th. Without a doubt, the season here promises to be our most exciting yet. Joseph Casey returns behind the bar, mixing our signature cocktails, smoke-infusing classics, and making the legendary Awesome Coffee after dinner drink that so many members come in for after dinner at one of our other outlets. This season, Adriana Oliveros joins us as supervisor, coming over from Gianni where she was an integral part of the success of the team since opening in 2014. In terms of the menu, we hope that you think of the Reef Lounge as the destination for sophisticated libations and unique bites. The menu this season features a variety of classic American cocktails as well as cutting edge mixology.

And, there will of course be an excellent selection of single malt scotches, bourbons and whiskies from around the world, and a wine list extensive enough to please any palette. Cigar lover or a newcomer to cigars? This season we’ve accentuated our outdoor “cigar lounge” that is available nightly, weather permitting. We’ve stocked the humidor with a wide range of choices, from a mild smoke to some fuller bodied choices to please any palette. Our guiding theme for the Beverage Department this season is “CRAFT”, and I think that you’ll see that influencing our menus throughout property. From the classic Sazerac cocktail in the Reef Lounge to the new Lavender Mojito, you’re sure to find something fit for you. You might have already sampled one of our “Craft Beers of the Month”, which are in the

restaurants and lounges across property. This month we’re featuring Tampa Bay Brewing Company’s award winning “Reef Donkey” Pale Ale, named in honor of the amberjack that inhabit our reefs and wrecks. This American-style pale ale has a floral aroma and a relatively mild 5.5% ABV, making it very approachable. The musical lineup at the Reef Lounge promises to be the best yet as well! From 7PM to 11PM Tuesday through Saturday, we’ll feature a wide variety of musical styles and specialties. Our lineup this year includes member-favorite guitarist Juan Areco each Wednesday, Alexis and Lindsay on Fridays and a great new solo pianist on Saturdays, Wes Leigh. We hope that you enjoy the improvements this season, and that we can help make this your best season ever!

Refreshments at Tennis & Games Center

Racquet Club Halloween

Gameo = Cardio + Games

This season we have added four more cardio-style classes to our schedule which we think will be a big hit. We are calling

Dave Wallace

At the Racquet Club Halloween gathering, Jim Dawson won Best Male Costume. Pictued with event chairs, Sarina Kinney and Carolyn Chaney.

“Tennis Shorts” by Jim Morton, Director of Tennis

The beginning of a new season always brings a little nervousness along with the excitement of welcoming everyone back to their Club for another year of fun on the courts. This year the Tennis & Games Center has been working on putting the finish touches on the outside of the beautiful facility to create the most welcoming area for families, friends and guests of our great Club to gather. With the conversion of the two hard courts to six individually fenced, lighted pickleball courts and the much needed replacing of the old fencing on all the courts, we are sure that the Tennis & Games Center will be busier than ever! In addition, we have added two large awnings next to the front entry of the courts, near the pickleball courts and court one, and also placed awnings between all of the tennis courts to provide much more shade for players and spectators. So with all of the upgrades at the Tennis & Games Center, make sure to stop in and see what we have added for programming to complement our new and improved grounds!

Player of the Week

this new class, Gameo - as in a games-only cardio clinic. There will be no drilling just the most popular games from cardio, and many new ones, will be part of this hour-long clinic. It will be a high-energy, competitive, calorie burning class featuring triples, ruler of the court, dingles, control, touch the fence, squirrel crossing, and clean winner! This new offering will take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. each day and you can use your tennis 10 pack for these classes as well. Pickleball About to Kick Off

For those who are interested in pickleball we have several offerings on the horizon. We will hold a Beginner Clinic on Tuesdays from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. followed by open play from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. We have also added an Intermediate Pickleball class on Sundays from 11:00 a.m. – noon and we have added a Mixed Doubles Pickleball League on Friday mornings that will be run like the weekly Men’s and Ladies’ Pickleball Leagues. Last but certainly not least, we have added a monthly Social Mixed Doubles pickleball event on Mondays from 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. that we are calling Pickle &

Pints, where we will provide beer and wine for the players who come out to play! The first Pickle & Pints is scheduled for Monday, November 14th . All of these offerings will begin the week of November 14th, provided the courts are ready for play. If you are interested in any of these new programs and would like more information please contact Tennis Concierge Lindsey Vermillion on her cell at 305 -522-1519 or email her at [email protected]. For a complete weekly schedule of all our events for the new season please stop by the Pro Shop to pick up a copy. Mixed Doubles Championships

With our programming about to start full swing, I would like to remind all tennis players that we are having our Mixed Doubles Club Championships on Saturday and Sunday November 12 – 13. We have three flights for players of all levels to participate. If you need a partner let either Lindsey or one of the Pro’s know and we will get you a partner. Remember the Champions of the “A” Flight (last year Eve & Wayne Rosen won) get their names engraved on the Wall of Champions Board that hangs in the Tennis & Games Center.

Where did you start playing tennis?

With Kevin Fish at Tabor Academy Who is your favorite professional athlete and why?

Bobby Orr because he played for the Boston Bruins, he is the best hockey player ever, and just an all around great guy! Do you have any other hobbies besides tennis?

Golf, traveling and boating. What is your most cherished tennis memory?

Weight Shift

Grand Masters Tournament

Dec. 6 & 7 Ultimate Demo Day

Friday, Dec. 30

The thing that separates good players from everyone else is the ability to shift their weight to the front foot at the right time. Most people don’t shift their weight enough and few shift it soon enough. Shifting weight is a big factor in creating speed. It also helps you contact the ball before the ground which leads to more distance and consistency. At the Academy of Golf we have some great drills to shift your weight at the right time to gain distance and have more fun. Look out for some of our new programs, including a TrackMan contest at the Driving Range on Saturdays. Saturday, Nov. 5 will be our first Short Game School from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and Wednesday, Nov. 9 will be the first AimPoint Express green reading class from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.

Fun-loving Ladies Who Want to Fish: Join the Bonefish Bonnies! by Sarah A. Cart

The Bonefish Bonnies’ first gathering of the new season will be a Nov. 16 “Welcome Back!” luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Key Largo Anglers Club. RSVPs for the luncheon

are critical for planning purposes; please let Jessica Olefson know your plans by emailing her at [email protected] by 9 a.m. Monday, Nov. 14.  The luncheon and Bonnie membership are open to all women interesting in fishing, so mark your calendars and plan to bring your enthusiasm, smiles, and any friend(s) interested in joining in the season’s fun. The fee for lunch ($25) and Bonnie dues ($75) may be paid ahead of time (see below) or at the door (and note: The first 100 to pay 2016-2017 membership dues will receive this season’s Bonnie luggage tag). Plans are afoot for all sorts of fishing fun this season, from luncheons to cocktails to educational programs, travel adventures and local tournaments. The Bonefish Bonnies, always ready to welcome new mem-

bers, are women anglers (and aspiring women anglers) of Ocean Reef and Key Largo Anglers Clubs whose purpose is to gather together other women interested in fun, friendship and fishing (or learning about fishing); provide knowledge about all aspects of the sport in the comfort of a congenial atmosphere; and share the joy of fishing, no matter the level (beginner to expert), technique (spin or fly), or location (flats or off-shore). Events are held most often on Wednesdays and are priced separately on a payas-you-go basis. Since 1999, Bonnie members have been meeting regularly for luncheons and educational programs about fishing and conservation; fishing our local waters and traveling to fish around the other Florida Keys and Bahamas and beyond; and to take part

in three annual members-only tournaments – the first, Offshore, to be held this season on Feb. 15; the “No Rules,” which includes fun fishing with almost no rules, both on the flats and off-shore, which will be held March 1; and a traditional flats competition taking place on March 29. The membership form/dues statement and the season’s calendar of events can be accessed via the organization’s website, www.BonefishBonnies.com.

Vinyasa Yoga with Kimberly Steele Sunday, November 6 at 10 a.m.

Vinyasa Yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a continuous and dynamic flow of poses.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a growing trend within the fitness community. This enables you to do anaerobic work to improve your aerobic capacity and overall cardiovascular health. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has ranked it second in regards to 2016 fitness trends. The ACSM defines HIIT as exercise consisting of bouts of high intensity effort usually between 80% - 90% maximum heart rate, followed by an active recovery between 40% -50% of maximal heart rate. HIIT is no longer just for athletes, it is another option to enhance physical capacity in the general population. Considering the large increase in the older adult population in the US, a modality that improves cardiovascular fitness while limiting high impact joint loading is important. For this reason, exercising in

the water should be considered. The water environment allows one to off load the joints by 50% - 100% depending on water depth, making water a great way to introduce this form of intense training. Here is an example of a short HIIT set:

Oldport 26 Yacht Club Launch reflects ORC’s rich marine tradition

The newest addition to Ocean Reef Club’s transportation fleet has arrived! Service on the Carysfort Launch & Water Shuttle began November 1, providing Members with a delightful, easy way to travel between Buccaneer Island or the Marina, and the Fishing Village. Finding the ideal launch for Ocean Reef Club required a far-reaching search for a boat that would represent our affinity for the water and our deep respect for tradition, while bearing a name that reflects our history. To this end, Bob Schmetterer, Chairman of the Ocean Reef Club Board of Directors, found the perfect boat in the Oldport 26’ Yacht Club Launch by Oldport Marine, which has been building these vessels for 40 years, and just finished construction of hull number 140. The Oldport 26 has a rich and storied history, the result of Oldport partners Mike Mussel and Ron Ackman’s need to expand their fleet to run customers around Newport Harbor in

Ocean Room Grille Opens Nov. 17 The concept of comfort in dining at Ocean Reef Club hearkens back to the original days of the Madeira Room, which first opened in December of 1960. The new 225-seat dining room was warm and elegant, named for the stand of mahogany trees originally located on the site, that were used for the paneling and cocktail tables. It had a coral fireplace often home to a roaring fire, waiters tossed your Caesar salad with an egg at the table and served flaming Cherries Jubilee for dessert. The Madeira Room weathered

two hurricanes and a fire, serving as the Club’s main dining room until 1975 when it was renovated and renamed the Ocean Room. Through the years, the Ocean Room has served as the focal point for delightful morning breakfasts,

Grille Continued from | 1 celebratory buffets and grand seafood extravaganzas. A place to be leisurely and enjoy the family surrounding you at the table. Dinners at the Ocean Room aspire to bring back that era, the simplicity of going to dinner, selecting your tried and true from the menu and saying hello to the Chef who knows just how to prepare it for you. A place your children and grandchildren long to return. This season, we aim to return to that bygone era with an introduction of the Ocean Room Grille. Themed simply as a classic “club grille”, the Ocean Room Grille will serve classic American fare…with a twist. Staples of the upcoming menu include classic Onion Soup and New England Clam Chowder daily; hearty Pulled Beef Quesadilla with bacon jam; Shaved Prime Rib French Dip; our signature Prime Rib carved to order nightly; fresh, local Yellowtail Key Largo-Style; great pizza and flatbreads. Chef

Kareem Anguin, who joined us this year after several years at the helm of the Oceanaire Seafood Room in Miami says, “The menu really offers something for everyone. We hope members find a favorite, but the goal of the menu was to give our members somewhere they could feel comfortable dining every night of the week with family and friends, and never get bored.” Truly unique amongst our varied restaurants here on the Reef will be the hearty salad bar, which will be the cornerstone offering at the Ocean Room Grille. Featured nightly, the salad bar will have a selection of fresh lettuces and field greens, farm fresh veggies, nuts, seeds and dried fruit, as well as housemade dressings and a selection of freshly baked biscuits and baguette. The salad bar will be included in the entrée selection, available as an add-on to lighter fare such as sandwiches and soups, and will be available as an entrée as well. Chopped chicken and other proteins will be offered on the bar as well, to round out the salad bar and make it a filling option.

Ocean Reef Military Assistance Fund (fka Wounded Warriors Fund) Completes Home for Florida Sergeant In honor of Veteran’s Day and our own Ocean Reef Club Veterans, this story was submitted by Leonard Wood and Al Mast, who continue their dedication to the Military Assistance Fund they established in 2007 through the Ocean Reef Community Foundation. On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Stephen Siller, a Brooklyn firefighter, was on his way to play golf with his brothers. He learned that the Twin Towers had been hit and immediately returned to his fire station. The other firefighters had already left, so he loaded his gear and took off for Manhattan, where he found the roads into Manhattan were already closed for security purposes. Stephen left his truck (with the keys in it) at the entrance of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, strapped on his 60 lbs. of gear, and raced on foot two miles through the tunnel to the Twin Towers where he was able to join his firefighting group. They were working at the South Tower when it collapsed at 9:59 am, and no trace was ever found of the men. Stephen’s family wanted to do something in his honor and started the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation to help firefighters. This effort morphed into a program to build housing for some of our neediest

veterans thru the Building for Americas Bravest program. Fast forward to 9:59 am, Sept. 11, 2016 and the Building for Americas Bravest program presented Sgt. Corey Kent and his wife, Randi, with the keys to their new home supported by a $50,000 donation by the Ocean Reef Military Assistance Fund. Needless to say, Randi and Corey were overwhelmed by this generous gift of a smart home that makes day-to-day living easier and more enjoyable. Corey’s story is as heartwarming as they get. He had friends in the service and was concerned for them, as the shortage of qualified soldiers required our men and women to have 2, 3 and even 4 tours of duty. Corey understood that, if there were

Corey and Randi Kent, with Leonard Wood, as they enjoy their new home

more soldiers to serve, perhaps less tours would be required, so he joined the service and headed to Iraq. Corey was severely injured by an IED, and he lost both legs and all the fingers and thumb of his left hand. He has now recovered and has a great spirit. Leonard Wood was happy to attend the dedication ceremony on behalf of the Ocean Reef Military Assistance Fund and was impressed with the great small town spirit of Cape Coral. Not only did many of the people who helped build the house turn out, but there was a parade with the local high school marching band, firetrucks, choir and Coast Guard Auxiliary. It was a beautiful day and an event that would make anyone proud to be an American. Building for America’s Bravest is

pursuing an ambitious program to put our neediest veterans into good housing situations, and the Ocean Reef Military Assistance Fund would like to help them as much as possible. We would appreciate any support you can give to help us build as many homes as possible for these very deserving service people. Leonard Wood and Al Mast, co-founders of the Ocean Reef Military Assistance Fund, agree that these homes for our heroes are a very worthy cause. To make a donation, please write your check out to the Ocean Reef Community Foundation with “Military Assistance Fund” written in the memo line and forward to ORMA Fund, Ocean Reef Community Foundation, 35 Ocean Reef Drive, Suite 148, Key Largo, FL 33037.

Carysfort Continued from | 1 Newport, RI. The trouble was that the launches on the market at the time—the early 80s— weren’t suited to their needs, with most too ungainly and inefficient to steer through a busy harbor. Unsatisfied with what was available, the partners decided to built such a boat themselves— an easily driven, good-looking boat that had a decent carrying capacity. They based their mold on a boat built in the early 1970s for the Newport Shipyard, one that boasted traditional lines; a graceful shear with a high, flared bow, moderately high topsides with splash rails and slight tumblehome aft, and wide beam carried to the transom. After modifications and some early “idea boats,” the Oldport 26 came into production in 1986, and became the launch of choice for yacht clubs along the East Coast. “After a seatrial on the Oldport 26, I knew that it would be ‘at home’ at Ocean Reef Club,” said Schmetterer. “These launches are expertly crafted, designed for

continuous service with minimum maintenance, and built to strict U.S. Coast Guard specifications.” As for the launch name, “Carysfort is a name that holds great meaning for Key Largo and Ocean Reef Club, and now Carysfort Launch & Water Shuttle will be latest Ocean Reef project to bear the historic name,” said Schmetterer. “We are immeasurably proud to carry on the tradition with this name that reflects our history and our sense of place.” Carysfort Reef—currently undergoing a pioneering restoration effort—was named for the HMS Carysfort, a 28-gun British frigate that ran aground off the north coast of Key Largo in 1770, and Carysfort Light, erected in 1848, remains the oldest beacon marking the reef. In our recent history, Carysfort Hall has become the newest jewel in Ocean Reef Club’s crown, creating a firstclass gathering space for Members. “We’re planning a christening ceremony to formally welcome the Carysfort Launch & Water Shuttle to our fleet,” said Schmetterer. “We’ll provide all the event details, and more about the launch, in next week’s Ocean Reef Press.”

patients are saying about the new improved space, Christine states, “ Our patients walk into the room, stand there a moment and simply say “WOW!” If you don’t know about the graduate program, it is specifically designed for patients that have completed their required course

of treatment- they have “graduated”. Now they can continue to exercise under the watchful eye of trained physical therapists and in the safety of the Medical Center environment. Many patients have expressed that this is a comfort as well as a motivator. Feeling a bit less nimble? Maintain your muscle strength and balance. The Medical Center’s therapists can access your gait and balance and design a program, tailored for you, to increase your strength and give you a “tune up” for maintaining balance. One of the key losses as we age is balance. We don’t always notice it until challenged with a situation where we need that youthful nimbleness. A fall could occur resulting in a broken bone or fractured hip, which can lead to other more severe health problems. We invite you to tour the new physical therapy department and talk to one of our trained professionals about any gait, balance or strength concerns you may have. We look forward to seeing you soon. Visit us on the web at www. mcor.org for the visiting specialists calendar and other Medical Center information and news. Visiting specialists dates are also listed weekly in the Ocean Reef Press. It’s flu season- remember to get your flu shot at the Medical Center.

The Food & Film Series is heating up…

The Niners’ Clubhouse Renovations

Monday, Nov. 28 at 4:30 p.m. will be the first of six Food & Film evenings! Grab your friends, sign up and join us for East Side Sushi. Years of working in the food industry have made Juana’s hands very fast. She can slice and dice anything you throw at her with great speed and precision. Forced to give up her fruit-vending cart in order to find a more secure job, Juana lands a position as a kitchen assistant at a local Japanese restaurant. It is there she discovers a new friendship and a whole new world of cuisine and culture, far-removed from anything she has ever known. A fantastic dinner will follow as the Ocean Reef culinary staff plays homage to sushi! Optional dinner following, $49++ reservations required. Film Society Membership Required. $75 includes all films and programs. For information contact [email protected].

The Niners’ Ladies Golf Group celebrated their opening day on Tuesday, Nov. 8 and are excited to kick off their season with a beautifully renovated clubhouse. Formed in 1975, The Niners are the oldest golf group at The Reef. While golf is their main purpose, they also exist “to promote camaraderie among like-minded women who enjoy each other’s company.” This invitation-only club is comprised of 20 active playing members, 8 non-active playing members, and 4 honorary members. The club plays nine holes every Tuesday, many followed by a sandwhich luncheon. Along with monthly cocktail parties, The Niners host tournaments including their Annual Charity Tournament where all proceeds benefit a charity of choice.

KESSLER FITNESS, PILATES AND KAFE

Newly renovated Niner’s clubhouse.

When the group was first founded, they played the Harbor Course (now the Hammock Course), and held their meetings and luncheons in the original Harbor Clubhouse. Desiring a place to call their own, the 5th tee of the Hammock Course became the home for their small clubhouse. Following its destruction in 1992 by Hurricane Andrew, a larger one was built, becoming the Niners’ third clubhouse. Almost 25 years old, repairs were necessary to preserve the building. The Club’s engineering team, among others, stepped in to help. The most recent renovations done include re-supporting the roof, installing new shingles, replacing

windows and vaulting the ceiling. Sheet rock, a rug, and a front walkway with a handrail were among the added features. Additional work was done to preserve the interior and exterior of the building, as well as a new coat of paint to both. Colette Frey, a member of The Niners since January, volunteered to oversee the clubhouse this year. “As a former home builder, I recognized that the clubhouse was in desperate need of repairs and felt this would be a great way for me to contribute,” she said. “I would like to thank Ocean Reef and all of our hard-working associates for their efforts in the restoration.”

Opening Night at The Art League by Susan Bohan

The Art League hosted an Opening Night on November 8 showcasing many of the artists who both teach and exhibit throughout the season. Continuing through November 18, it is the perfect opportunity for anyone contemplating a course. Ranging from woodworking to acrylics to charcoal as well as clay, needlepoint and jewelry, you can grasp an idea of what you may learn from so many talented individuals. One of the newest artists to join the rank of instructors is Monica Bankowski who will teach watercolor techniques. As an art educator for the last 35 years, she loves reaching out to beginners and advanced students alike. Her works on display reflect her broad talents. Rodney Jackson’s creative draw-

ing sessions are based on classical western techniques. Whether in charcoal or pastels, he feels he teaches the basic approach to art itself. “I feel as piano is to music, drawing is to art.” His works on Henry Ford and basketball great Chris Bosh are excellent examples. Diane Smith and Jon Dreaver have created an environment to encourage our imagination by serving wine and appetizers during their evening classes. Fun! Learn to paint with a Pinot or Shiraz with all

the materials provided. Each has a similar yet diverse approach to the love of art. Once again the beautiful artworks of Kathleen Denis are on display. A master painter, she brings individual attention to help further a student’s skill in classes November through March. And if art is not your talent, there are also exhibits showing the 5 books for the Book Club, as well as full explanations of the exciting trips planned through the Art

League. As Mary Biddinger, Workshop Chair, comments, “Whether you are interested in trying something new or expanding your skills in your favorite medium, whether you want to spend a few hours or a few days, we have a Workshop for you.” And what better way to preview what you can learn than by seeing their own endeavors on display.

New Color Line “Spa Notes” by April Smith, Spa Manager

I am so excited to announce the new line of hair color we are offering to our members this season – Goldwell! As much as we love the line that we have used for the last 5 years (Color Therapy by Keratin Complex - and we will still use it as needed), we have finally found a way to bring this global brand to ORC. I’m sure you have heard of Goldwell; it has been around since 1950. A true pioneer in the hair color industry, the Goldwell brand has been cutting edge with a focus on demi-permanent color. Goldwell color really kicks it up a notch with superb shine, optimum performance and

predictable results. Known for their beautiful blonde tones, and superb grey coverage, you will also love the no ammonia smell and how long it lasts! Annabel, Julie and Lourdes all received training this summer on the line, and have used it for the past couple of months. I have also tried it, and I really loved it! Call The Spa to book an appointment or consultant today 367-6506 It is always bittersweet when a treasured Associate decides to leave as typically they are moving on to pursue their dreams.

Welcome Home! by Beth Davidson and Chef Sue Grymala

Welcome home to Ocean Reef, and your “members kitchen” here at the 19th Hole! It’s been a busy summer here at your Club, with improvements all over the Reef, and more and more members making Ocean Reef their year-round home. And of course, we’ve been busily preparing the 19th Hole in order to welcome you home. Getting Ready

Preparing for our opening was a whirlwind, with new staff arrivals, uniforms to hand out and all that goes into the opening for the front of the house staff and kitchen. Preparations for the opening of service included menu tastings and mock service, computer training and

many other details that make the opening a seamless process. New server training is a painstaking process, with several days for orientation to their new “home” here at Ocean Reef and at the 19th Hole, mixology and wine service, as well as learning our Club traditions and menu training. Expanded Service

This year, the 19th Hole had our seasonal opening for lunch on Monday, Oct. 17! It was a fantastic day, with a great turnout of members excitedly returning “home” to the 19th Hole for Chef Sue’s cuisine. Service continues through the week, with 6-day lunch operation through

the remainder of the season into May, plus brunch served every Sunday morning beginning at 10 a.m. Dinner service this year begins on Thursday, November 3. We will initially be open for 5-day dinner service, which we will expand to 6 nights of service in December.

ing the seasonal bounty from our local farms, with her signature fresh local avocado salad. Favorites at dinner will return, including Chef Sue’s Sizzling fajitas, and we’re still the only place at ORC where you can get traditional liver and onions. The 19th Hole also accommodates special dietary needs like no other place at the Club, as many members comment that they find the best Gluten-Free meals available at Ocean Reef right here. Our staff features several new faces, as well as many returning associates, both serving members in the dining room, and from the kitchen. As always, Chef Sue’s crew features some great young culinarians, plus Sous Chef Raul Rios returning for another great season behind the line. In the dining room, Danielle Piedra Buena will be returning to assist Beth, making sure all of our members are well taken care of. Welcome Home!

Menu Highlights

Speaking of the menus, Chef Sue has some welcome additions to the lunch and dinner menus this season! The 19th Hole menu is one of our members’ favorites, so our focus this year was on refinement of best sellers and refreshing some traditional items, highlighting Chef Sue’s famous sandwiches and salads. And of course, Chef Sue features wonderful daily specials at lunch and during dinner service, highlights of the menu include the Beef Tenderloin Sliders, Portabella Melt, Irish Potato Skins, Popcorn Shrimp and the Roasted Vegetable Bowl. Chef Sue is highlight-

OR Community Rallies for Guatemalan Orphanage When Christina Watson adopted two children from Guatemala, she never imagined the wild ride it would take her on. While Jake, now a fourth-grader at The Academy at Ocean Reef, was safely home at 13 months old, relations with the US broke down during the processing of Mariela’s adoption and she got stuck in the red tape that would last 5 1/2 years!  She spent most of that time in a Christian orphanage named Casa Bernabe. This is one of the most highly functioning orphanages in Guatemala – they have a unique approach. Over the 25 years since a pair of missionaries began this journey, 8 houses have been built on the donated property in the hills outside of the capital city. In each house lives a married couple with children of their own, then they add in 10 or so orphans, and they simulate family living. 3 meals a day

together, homework time together, chores together.  They have a school on campus (K-8) and 129 children live there.  Christina can attest to the efficacy of this design.  Mariela felt well-loved and cared for at Casa Bernabe and missed it fiercely when she finally came home to Ocean Reef 3 years ago. Now it was time to give back.  Christina knew the orphanage and Cal Phillips had the right experience having gone to Haiti after the earthquake for a month!  Casa Bernabe asked for help with renovations so we started searching for willing workers.  George Blaha came up big, recruiting several able

bodied friends.  Members from all denominations signed up, as well as Club employees.  On October 8, the OR community group set out for a week including: Cal Phillips, Christina Watson and sister Jamie Watson, Frank Gudicello, George Blaha, Bruce Elliott and daughter Alexa, Laurie Stein, Michael Tein and their daughter Paulina, Zoe Fish and her grandmother, Carmen Bustios, Christina Kittle, and ORC Masseuses Maria Morales and Paula Johnson. Among the things accomplished were: painted the main building, had doctor visits for adults and kids (about 45),

Paula Johnson from The Spa provided massages, and hugs.

provided massage to house parents and workers (about 60), conducted soccer clinics every night for 100+ kids (big hit!), blessed a nearby impoverished family with food and supplies. Then we had a remote control car race (huge hit!!), hamburger feast for 200, repainted their logo on the wall, took pizza dinners to 5 houses and had a smores bonfire for 3 others. The biggest reward was the look on the faces of the children - so appreciative of the attention and love. Even greater may have been our volunteers - their smiles are still lingering.

Player of the Week Christine McHarg

When and where did you start playing tennis?

When I was 10 years old at The Coral Beach & Tennis Club in Bermuda. What are your other hobbies at Ocean Reef besides tennis?

Pickleball, biking and boating! What is your most favorite tennis memory?

Going to Wimbledon in 2015. The tournament was amazing and the grounds were beautiful! One of the prettiest places I have visited. Who is your favorite professional tennis player and why?

Rafael Nadal, because his fitness

level is incredible and more importantly, he is so kind and humble. Where is your favorite spot to be on Ocean Reef?

I love bringing my friends to the ORC Tennis & Games Center! The tennis is fun and challenging, everyone is so welcoming to myself and my guests. The atmosphere is so positive!

Swing Smooth For The Sweet Spot by Jennifer Hudson, Teaching Professional

One of the most rewarding swing adjustments you can make to master distance control and direction is learning to swing smoothly within yourself while you create center-face contact. A smooth swing primarily means two things: 1) An even tempo swing where there is no sudden rush at any point from any one particular part of your body. 2) Keeping your backswing and forward swing equidistant on either side of the ball. A great way to practice a smooth-sequenced swing is to hit one more club than you

normally would hit to a chosen target.  Take a couple practice swings adjusting how far you think you need to take the club back. Remember, this swing will be equidistant so if you only swing your hands to your back shoulder, then your follow through should stop at your front shoulder. Also feel like your hip turn, weight shift, and arm swing happen in unison, at the same speed back and through. To learn more drills for a smooth balanced swing that makes it easy to hit the ball in the center of the club face, I invite you to participate in our Academy Monday morning clinics from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. where the drills and skills you learn can be applied immediately on the course! Upcoming programs will include November 13th Couples clinic from 2:00-5:00, November 16th Ball-Flight clinic from 3:00-5:00, and our weekly Skills Contest on the driving range every Saturday from 12:00-4:00. Sign-up in the Golf Shop and come by the range for the Skills Contest at your leisure, it will be lots of fun!

Opening Preempts

If your side is not vulnerable and the opponents are, then you can open the preempt missing 4 tricks. Open at the 3-level if you have 5 tricks. Open at the 4-level if you have 6 tricks.

by Gregg Van Dyke, Director of Card & Games

Preempts are weak bids that are designed to a) interfere with the opponent’s bidding and b) describes your hand to partner in one bid. Once a preempt bid is made; unless forced, only the partner may continue bidding. Requirements

1. 0 to 10 HCPs (If you have more than 10 HCPs, consider opening at the 1-level 2. At least a 6 card or longer suit. 3. No 4-card outside major. (Example 5 is the Exception)

Examples:

2. ♠8

3. ♠9

4. ♠987

♥ AQ87642 ♦Q542 ♣2 7 tricks

♥ 76 ♦QJ9876 ♣J987 5 tricks

♥ ♦K74 ♠KJ97653 5 tricks

Vulnerability (“Rule of 2, 3 and 4”)

Since the preempt bid shows a weak hand, the responder will usually pass. But if the responder has a better than an opening hand and a strong 5-card suit, he can bid at the 3-level. This bid is forcing! The opener will either raise the partner’s suit if he has support or repeat the preempt. Examples:

Now count your tricks: count the number of winners you should receive from the honors in your hand and the number of cards over 3 in any suit.

1. ♠KQJ9 754 ♥ 765 ♦4 ♣32 6 tricks

Responses

5. ♠KQJ9 762 ♥ 7654 ♦3 ♣3 Open 3♠

If your side is vulnerable and the opponents are not, then you can open the preempt missing 2 tricks. Open at the 3-level if you have 7 tricks. Open at the 4-level if you have 8 tricks. If both sides have equal vulnerability, then you can open the preempt missing 3 tricks. Open at the 3-level if you have 6 tricks. Open at the 4-level if you have 7 tricks.

East

West ♠AQ9754 3♣ ♥A65 ♦4 ♣K32

North Pass

East 3♠

South

With this hand, East responds with his spade suit. If West has 3 spades, then he would rebid 4♠ otherwise he would repeat clubs, 4♣

East West ♠AQ974 3♦ ♥AQ965 ♦4 ♣32

North Pass

East 3♠

South

Clearly East wants to be in a major, instead of diamonds. He bids 3♠ then will bid 4♥to give his partner a choice.

But be careful! Always check the vulnerability. If partner opened on favorable vulnerability, then he will probably opened light. Have more than an opener if you decide to respond.

Enhancing Your Club

November 18, 2016

Equity Welcome Back Party “The Gathering”

by Katie Salvato, Ocean Reef Press Staff

Your Club spent the summer updating and maintaining existing facilities. Some of the changes are immediately noticeable, such as the Port O’Call Patio & Deck and the bike racks at Buccaneer Island, while many others are subtler, such as increased cart parking outside of Gianni and changes in landscaping. We’re thrilled to share the work we have completed over the summer months.

George and Maryann Combs have arrived!

In the Fishing Village

The Ocean Reef Real Estate Company has a brand new front porch with outside furniture and a new display board. It’s a perfect, breezy spot to enjoy your Reef Treats and see what’s going on around The Reef! Port O’Call has expanded their patio, added a deck, bought new rustic barrel tables and will soon be serving wine by the glass. Experts will be available to discuss trends and offer expert advice on the bottles available for purchase. Additional enhancements are being planned to further highlight the beautiful views of the Marina. Around Buccaneer Island

What’s the best way to get to the beach? By bicycle! Pedal to Buccaneer Island with your friends and use the new bike rack behind the Islander. Projects | 4

Blessing and Naming of Carysfort Launch & Water Shuttle

Festivities at the Fishing Village, Monday, November 21 Members are invited to the Blessing and Naming Celebration for the Carysfort Launch & Water Shuttle, a centuries-old maritime tradition to bring good fortune to the vessel and her crew throughout the lifetime of the boat. “We’re delighted to welcome the newest addition to Ocean Reef Club’s transportation fleet, and it’s important that we mark the occasion with the pomp and circumstance it deserves,” said Bob Schmetterer, Chairman of the Ocean

The launch service, open since November

1, provides transportation for Members to three stops across The Reef: Buccaneer Island bridge (access to the pools, beach, Palm Court, the Islander, Beach Bar & Grill and Inn accommodations); the Fishing Village (access to Gianni, Burgee Bar, Raw Bar, Reef Treats and the shops and street fair events); and the Dockmaster at the Marina, for the convenience of anyone staying in the Marina to provide transportation to Buccaneer Island or Fishing Village.

Eating My Way Through Autumn by Terry Baxter

I have not exactly been in culinary jail during our time away from The Reef – we attended the fabulous Ocean Reef Yacht Club rendezvous in Boston (live Maine lobster, Duxbury Oysters, and the great North End Italian offerings), then jaunts to Budapest, Portofino, and Milan (more not-so-shabby local treasures), and finally our own back yard in New Hampshire with a multitude of farm-to-table eateries. But I always look forward to discovering the new food treats at Ocean Reef, because I know how hard Mike Leemhuis, Giovanni Melis, Philippe Reynaud, and all our chefs work to improve our dining experience. I enjoyed Gianni’s bar the first night back. Fair Patricia is still home trying to cram more shoes into her car before heading this way, but bartenders Luke and Victor were good company, and the members special was divine – handmade pasta, stuffed with three cheeses, and baked in a pink sauce. Heaven. I hope they add it to the regular menu. My weekend included visits to the Ocean Room for breakfast where manager Craig, omelet master Franco, and new chef Kareem turned out a perfect

brunch. On Sunday, the Burgee Bar had nearly every football game available, along with a wide selection of beer & munchies, and a well-cooked burger, while across the street at the Raw Bar, after the warm welcome of Barry, Billy, & Anna they could serve you anything and you would like it, but what they DO serve is first rate. Clubhouse Prime

I was fortunate to arrive in time for the last two (of twenty) tasting sessions to finalize the menus for each of our restaurants. The full staff for each venue was actively involved. They shared observations on taste, presentation, and a description of all the ingredients. The first night was the Clubhouse, now renamed “Clubhouse Prime” to emphasize the focus on exceptional steaks. Halpern’s is Ocean Reef’s steak and chop supplier. They specialize in free roaming, grass fed, antibiotic free cows, and USDA Prime meats. Nothing but the very best. Luis Portocarrero is the new Clubhouse chef after two plus years at the Burgee Bar where he delivered delicious culinary surprises from the tiny kitchen. He says the spacious kitchen at the Clubhouse is “like a palace,” not to mention the state-of-the-art 1400 degree Montague steak broiler. Before the Burgee Bar, Luis was was at the Biltmore Hotel and Riviera Country Club. He brings a “twist of fusion” to the classic fine dining menu (combining some elements of French, Italian, and Caribbean influences to our dishes). Giovanni describes it as, “an opportunity to refresh our product while we maintain our steak house identity, a modern approach to classics.” One immediate example was the pao dequeijo (cheese bread) in the bread basket. Cheesy, soft and

chewy, and gluten free by way of yucca flour. Delicious and completely habit-forming. Even small things matter. The elegant menu has delicacies old and new. Some of my favorites were the bold, dark, intensely concentrated lobster bisque (with no dairy); the duck confit Wellington; the pistachio crusted rack of lamb; and the USDA Prime cowboy bone-in rib eye steak. None of the tasters went home hungry, and you won’t either. The Ocean Room Grille

The next night we previewed the menu for the new Ocean Room Grille. The food is classic American cuisine, with selections developed from member’s suggestions and some pre-renovation favorites from the Galley. Of special note is a full salad bar with every entrée, and the Prime Rib served daily. The new chef is Kareem Anguin, Jamaican born, who spent eleven years at well-regarded Ocean Aire in Miami. He has helmed the Ocean Room, Reef Lounge, Private Dining (room/in-home service), and the Grand Seafood Buffet since May. He says, “Ocean Reef Members are awesome.” Who

can argue with that? The Ocean Room Grille will be a delightful venue to linger with family and friends. The menu offers three soups, appetizers (I particularly liked the crispy Boom Boom shrimp), burgers and sandwiches, pizza & flatbread, and entrees ranging from seafood (shrimp, lobster, fish n’ chips, yellowtail, salmon), to fried chicken, steak, ribs, and, of course, roast Prime Rib of Beef (a 10 oz. “Queen Cut,” 14 oz. “King Cut,” and a 16 oz. “Club Cut.”) I almost made a terrible mistake. I was feeling quite sated, so I thought I could skip dessert. But I was urged to try the South African Malva Pudding (I wonder what South African did the urging). What a revelation: a warm, caramelized cake/pudding with a brandy butter sauce. Yikes. It was somewhat reminiscent of the UK sticky toffee pudding, only more subtle. Delicious. Try it. Sample our new menus more than once to identify your own favorites. Recipes settle, service gels, and the experience grows each time. Maybe you will be rewarded with your own Malva Pudding discovery.

Projects Continued from | 1 Buccaneer Island now has 100 more chaise lounges to accommodate Members and guests. And while you’re out there, make sure to drop by The Point! New tables and umbrellas have been installed for an improved experience. Landscaping & Outdoor Fixtures

Notice something different about the Inn? Over the summer we have updated the landscaping! If you haven’t already, take a trip to check out our new flowers, trees and greenery. Brand new benches have been installed outside of the Inn, Gift Shop and overlooking the Marine Max boat storage area. The Garden Group at Ocean Reef Club donated the Heron statue outside of Carysfort Hall, named “The Keeper”. Gianni and 19th Hole have

expanded outdoor seating, allowing more Members to dine at one time while also creating more space. And while you’re at the Gianni, don’t forget to look around the parking lot to see the new balustrades and more parking spaces. The Tennis & Games Center has new fencing around all courts and added 6 lighted pickleball courts to accommodate the fastest growing sport on The Reef. More Changes and Future Projects

The Burgee Bar has new seating and an improved wine display; the Marina parking lot has been resurfaced with brand new bathrooms and furniture inside the Dock Office; and your Club is working on a redesign for Toski’s at the Turn. Learn more at Town Hall today about the tremendous, and ongoing, enhancements to your Club.

A Note of Gratitude Last week I was driving to The Spa for a manicure when my cart had an accidental meeting with a car. I was thrown out of the cart and landed on the pavement. Several bones were broken plus a lot of bruises. Laying on the street, the first words I heard were from the EMT’s, “Don’t move, we’ll take care of you.” I was whisked away in an ambulance to Homestead where they were waiting for me. Moments later, surrounded by nurses and various doctors, I had no idea the extent of my injuries, but I remember a vague feeling that I was safe and in good, competent hands. Then came the X-Rays and visits from an array of specialists who determined I should have immediate surgery on my feet. The whole process was quick and seamless. My clavicle was also broken but surgery

was deemed unnecessary. I was allowed to go home the next afternoon. Every day since has been an improvement, but the point of this message is what I experienced after I got home. The out-pouring of love and caring from the Ocean Reef community has been unbelievable. Cards, letters, phone calls, food, flowers, visits and gifts. I was totally overwhelmed. We’ve all heard about the kindness and generosity of Ocean Reefers, however, it really doesn’t come home until you actually experience it. I read some years ago that a person is lucky if he/she is able to claim three or four true friends in an entire lifetime. Well, I have a whole community of friends and I am so grateful. A special thank you to the attending EMT’s, Jim Faktor and Kyle Williams, who were so prompt and reassuring. Ocean Reef is truly a remarkable place to live. – Margie Smith

Floyd, Palmer, Watson and Nicklaus

It was taken in 1995 at Palmer's last participation at the British Open. Elegantly framed with a brass plaque below, it’s in primo condition.

This cast of performers and dogs will delight audiences of all ages, with high-energy excitement from beginning to end. During the Stunt Dog Experience, you will witness some of the most incredible stunts and behaviors ever performed by dogs. With amazing tricks, big air stunts, comedy antics, dancing dogs, and athletic feats, it is the most entertaining show of its kind.

It should be a great memory for every serious golfer. And sadly, with Arnie's passing, it's meaning increases.

James Frederick Dicke (Jim), age 94, died at home on November 11, 2016.   Jim was born January 30, 1922 in Ilion, New York to Carl Henry Dicke and Irene Kamman Dicke. He was raised in Dayton, Ohio, graduating from Stivers High School in 1939.  Jim was proud of his service during WWII as a Lieutenant Instructor in the Army Air Corps. After his discharge in 1945, Jim and Eilleen moved to New Bremen.  Jim was an honorary graduate of Culver Military Academy, and was awarded an honorary DBA by Ohio Northern University.  In New Bremen, Jim worked with his father Carl, and other family members to found Crown Controls Company. Today, the company has become Crown Equipment Corporation, currently in its fourth generation of leadership under his grandson, Jim Dicke III.  At the time of his death, Jim was still serving as Crown’s Chairman Emeritus.  Jim was one of the “10 Investors” who loaned Ocean

Reef Club $1 million in the late 1970’s to allow the Club to remain a private club community. He served as Commodore of the Yacht Club and helped to form and develop the Ocean Reef President’s Organization. Jim and his wife Eilleen’s love for Ocean Reef brought dozens of wonderful new members, many of whom they had met through their world travels with the Young President’s Organization. The Dicke family philanthropy has been significant in the OR Community. In 2015, Jim lost his wife, Eilleen after nearly 73 years of marriage; theirs was a story of love and partnership. Jim is survived by his sons Jim II (Janet) and Dane (Cindy), grandchildren Jim III (Katy), Jennifer (Andrew Prewitt), Anastasia (Jay Huelsman), Robin, Ashton, and Christopher and great grandchildren Alexander Dicke, Charles Dicke, Connor Prewitt, Owen Prewitt, Kyle Prewitt, Allegra Huelsman and Liam Huelsman. Only Kerry, Dane’s first wife, preceeded Jim and Eilleen in death.  The family is overwhelmed with gratitude to the caregivers and friends for the caring support provided to both Jim and his wife Eilleen.  A celebration of life honoring both Jim and Eilleen’s lives will be held on Saturday, November 19, 2016 at St. Paul United Church of Christ Church in New Bremen, Ohio.  A memorial fund has been established at the New Bremen Foundation, P.O. Box 97, New Bremen, OH, 45869. Donations may also be made to the charity of the donor’s choice. Condolences to the Dicke family may be left online at gilberghartwigfh.com.

Talking Turkey by Damian Gilchrist, Executive Chef

One of my favorite times of the year is Thanksgiving, a time to appreciate our good fortune over the year as we gather with family and close friends. But as a chef and a lifelong gourmand, another part of the holiday that is near and dear to my heart is cooking and eating, and there’s not much I enjoy more than a beautifully roasted turkey. You might be familiar with Benjamin Franklin’s favor toward the noble turkey as our national bird, as he eschewed the use of the bald eagle and instead

preferred the fearless turkey, “withal a true original Native of America”. These native birds were certainly of heartier, leaner stock than the commercially available birds of today, which have a much higher proportion of meat than those of antiquity. One of the questions I’m asked most during each of the fall holidays is “How do you cook that delicious, moist turkey? Mine always comes out so dry!” We do have some tricks that we use, which you can use as well for a perfect holiday bird at home, every time. 1. Brine the turkey. We use a mixture consisting of one gallon of water, mixed with one cup each of kosher salt and sugar, and a variety of spices. The turkey is submerged in the brine overnight, where the salt seasons the meat, while the sugar draws moisture in and seasons the meat from the inside, resulting in a juicier final product. 2. Use a roasting bag. Season your turkey as you normally would, and

place it inside a roasting bag. The steaming effect of the bag makes it nearly impossible to overcook, resulting in a moist, fall off the bone turkey. 3. Butter ‘em up. Before roasting, mix together softened butter and whatever herbs you prefer, and apply liberally to the entire skin of the turkey. This creates a crisp, golden skin every time, and also creates a means of holding the seasoning on the outside of the turkey. 4. Deep Fried! This is not for the novice, but as they say, fortune favors the bold. One of my personal favorites is a deep fried turkey, which also creates moist, succulent meat with a crisp, golden skin. It’s essential to always let the turkey thaw before frying, and this method is perfect for injection marinating. 5. To stuff or not to stuff? Due to concerns over proper temperatures, we do not recommend stuffing your bird with traditional, bread-based stuffing that you would eat after cooking. However, we do stuff our turkeys with aromatics such as halved lemons, bunches of fresh herbs,

and mirepoix. 6. Speaking of mirepoix. This classic French term, meaning an evenly proportioned mixture of onions, carrots and celery, makes a wonderful base in the roasting pan, which can become a side dish once the turkey is ready. I like to cut the vegetables into large chunks and line then up as a thick layer at the bottom of the roasting pan. The turkey goes right on top, and the vegetables and turkey cook together, seasoning the bird with the aroma of the vegetables while the turkey jus creates a beautiful caramelization on the veggies. 7. Baste the turkey. We typically baste the turkey during cooking at least once per hour, to ensure a moist and succulent finished product.

Whichever method you choose, I hope you enjoy this time with your loved ones as much as my team and I enjoy serving you! Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and laissez les bons temps rouler!

SPORTS AROUND THE REEF

Mixed Doubles Champions Crowned

Weekly Tennis Results LADIES DAY WEDNESDAY 11/9/16

“Tennis Shorts” by Jim Morton, Director of Tennis

One of the proudest moments for member of a club is seeing their name posted on a Championship plaque or to be presented with a winner’s trophy to be seen by all throughout the Club.   Thirty-eight players in total participated this past weekend in the last Club Championship to be held in 2016, the Mixed Doubles Club Championship in hopes of achieving that lofty goal.  Winning the “A” flight championship and getting their name permanently engraved on the Wall of Champions was Beatriz Bravo-Gutierrez and her husband Ricardo Gutierrez as they defeated Heather Post and Mike Jones 6-2,6-1. The Gutierrez featured the power of Beatriz and the crafty topspin and slice from Ricardo as they

consistently kept the team of Post and Jones off balance particularly on the big points.  While match was much closer than the scores indicated, the Gutierrez team refused to make mistakes on the big points resulting in their first Club Championship at Ocean Reef!  In the “B” flight final Bebe and Andy Hofmann won a tough battle against Christine and Warren McHarg as they out steadied them 6-3, 6-3.  And in the most competitive match of the day, Claudia Langworthy and Jordan Truchan came away with a hard fought 6-4, 7-5 win against the very crafty and determined team of Diana Tweedy and Morgan Nields. If you are at The Reef this

weekend and looking for something inspiring to do, come over to the Tennis & Games Center on Saturday, Nov. 19, to listen to Tennis Superstar Venus Williams speak about her life as a tennis player while building a successful business designing and selling her tennis clothing line EleVen!  The event will be held on the patio at the Tennis & Games Center from 10:00 - 11:00a.m. and we will provide a complimentary continental breakfast to those in attendance. We will even have a few members modeling some of Venus’ favorite fashions! Don’t miss the opportunity to ask Venus questions about her career, or playing with and against her sister or even what was her most cherished victory on the tour.

Similar to yoga and playing an instrument, golf is about self-awareness. To learn or change a habit, you must have awareness of your body during the motion. For improvement to take place, change needs to happen. Patience and perseverance combined with positive practice allows imporvement. Standing in the same place swinging over and over expecting different results will produce results similar to what you’ve always had. Keep an eye out for some of our new programs, Saturdays Skills Contest at the driving range between 12 and 4 p.m., and Wednesday Golf Fitness from 7:30-8:30 in the Member Fitness Center.

5 Ways Fitness Makes Your Life Better “Fitness Focus” by Luis Bracamonte, Member Fitness Center Manager 1. A leaner, stronger and more flexible body moves better and has the capacity to do more at any age. 2. By becoming more efficient in the movements we use in everyday life and in sports we also increase the joy of living and playing. 3. When we exercise, and focus on our movements we became better in tune with our bodies. The mind-body connection is also the brain-body connection. 4. By habitually pushing our physical limits, we also strengthen our will power and our ability to deal with life’s adversities. 5. Losing weight, toning up and becoming a better mover increases self-steam and

confidence. As we shape our physical self, we also improve our psyche.

Fitness is a game of numbers and an art form. We can measure improvement by assessing movement quality and complexity as well as gains in strength, stamina, balance and speed via loads lifted, reps performed and time. This game can be played solo, with training partners or in groups of any size; it has infinite shapes, forms, tools and its methods are limited only by our own curiosity, imagination and fiery desire to get the most out every day in our lives. UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS

Here’s what the Karl family had to say:

“Infinite Love and Gratitude are words that have become a ‘mantra’ for myself and my family this past season. I ventured into a lecture given by Dr. David Coppola at the Member Fitness Center. I was impressed by his delivery and curious about what I had heard, so I made an appointment for the following week. I have always been a believer in the potential of our bodies to be helped, even healed, through treatments that address our ‘whole’ body. One session was enough to hook me into the world of acupuncture, acupressure and Dr. Dave, so I shared my experience with family and friends. After their own visits, they too shared my feeling that a session with Dr. Dave was life altering. We experienced positive results for back and neck problems, hip and leg issues,

allergies, and breathing concerns. After the physical issues were successfully addressed, we continued to be empowered and inspired by Dr. Dave. We were able to control and conquer other personal situations and truly maintain our health. My family and I are thriving and will continue on this journey to optimize health. I encourage anyone looking to feel better to give Dr. Dave a try.” - Stephanie Karl About Dr. David Coppola

Dr. Coppola has been practicing holistic medicine for 22 years and is the author of “The Wisdom of Emotions: Building Genuine Happiness and Finding Inner Peace.” He is also a life coach who enriches and inspires as he teaches awareness and the ways to optimal health.

Responding to 1NT with 5-4 in the Majors When partner opens 1NT, the idea is to see if you have a fit in the Majors. This is done by using Stayman and Jacoby Transfers. But what happens when you have 5-4 in the Majors? This is where a series of bids would show your shape to the NT Opener. 10+ HCPs (Smolen Convention)

With 10 or more points, you want to go to game. Use Stayman first (2♣) to find a 4-card major fit. If partner bids a major, simply raise it to the 4-level. If partner denies a major (rebidding 2♦), use the Smolen Convention to find a 3-card fit with your 5-card major (since partner denied the 4-card major in either of your majors) Smolen Convention: Used to show partner 5-4 in the Majors and game going values. Start with Stayman. If partner denies a 4-card major, jump to the 3-level with the shorter major (which partner does not have). Partner will go to game with a 3-card fit or simply bid 3NT. The idea behind this convention is to have the stronger hand play the hand. West

Croquet in Full Swing by Ron Sekura

The 2016-17 season begins. The migration of croquet players to Ocean Reef is in progress. This past Sunday a dozen strikers graced the lawns for an afternoon of friendly play. But we still expect the migration to continue from now into the New Year with more of our players arriving to enjoy camaraderie and play on the newly renovated lawns. Complements to all the staff at Ocean Reef for doing such a great job in redoing the lawns. Although it was a lovely day on Sunday many of us decided to curtail play on the early side in order to scurry home for a quick cleanup and clothing change. We

then headed over to Town Hall for the welcome back celebration. And was that a treat. Chef Philippe set his staff loose to make what was a very pleasurable gastronomic event. Each of the Ocean Reef eating venues put out some of their best offerings. Wonderful grouper chowder from the Raw Bar, great sushi from the Islander, from the other venue Peking duck with waffles, wonderful pastries and much, much more. Warm thanks to Chief Philippe and his staff from some pleased croquet players.

And then came Tuesday for the season’s first “Under the Lights” croquet event. Even with threatening rain the hardy Ocean Reef Croquet Players braved the elements to gather for the ‘Under the Lights.” On the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. strikers gather to play croquet, and guess what? Enjoy more goodies. Participants brought light fare to share, and with a couple glasses of wine or other beverage of choice all enjoyed a pleasant evening. On this first “Under the Lights Night” he rains did fall a bit but this gave the opportunity to validate the effectiveness of the newly installed thatching on the Tiki hut. It worked, complements again to the support Jim Morton and all the Ocean Reef Staff provided to keep us dry. During the brief sprinkles all gathered under the Tiki Hut to imbibe in food and drink and share stories of their summer travels that ranged form the US National Parks to Australia and New Zealand. All in all a fun evening!

Reel Life by Sarah Hoog, Orvis Manager

It’s unbelievable that Thanksgiving is upon us already! We’ve seen many familiar faces over the past few weeks, and we’d like to extend a warm welcome back to The Reef! The fishing is great and the weather can’t be beat, there’s nothing more fun than getting out on the water and hooking up to one of the many sought after sportfish that swim within 10 miles of our docks. Offshore the bite has been very good on sailfish already this season. Boats from Miami to Islamorada have had a number of double digit days and with the sails keyed into ballyhoo this time of year you can still be competitive without putting up the kites. With that said, ballyhoo can be tough to catch this time of year, but persistence pays off and you’ll be happy to have a well-full to chum. Many of the bites have

been relatively shallow, I was out this past week and we baited and caught two sails in about 20 feet of water, so don’t run straight out to the deep blue. Keep an eye open for bait showers that could indicate a pack of sailfish, mackerel or even dolphin. And, don’t forget the patch reefs; they can be super productive this time of year. Yellowtail, Muttons, porgies and hog fish are just a few of the possibilities. Are bonefish on your bucket list? Now is a good time to check one off! They’ve been pretty plentiful on the bayside flats. Snook have been cooperating in the creeks and our guides have been releasing

them regularly. These fish are great to sight cast with a fly rod or bait, a blast to hook and even more fun to fight. Stop into the store once you’re settled in, we have a huge men’s sale happening & a number of promos marked in the store for men & women. Thinking of picking up a new fly rod for yourself or a Holiday gift for family or friends? The new Special Edition Helios 2 Covert rod is available in our store to check out and cast. Totally blacked out with matte black finish, black guides and black hardware, no flash, no shine, available in 5 and 8 weights. The Covert is the

finest fly rod in the world with the added dimension of being a wicked looking stick. The H2 performance is still there but now there’s some serious attitude. And, to make the rod even sweeter, we’re offering a free Hydros SL Reel with every H2 Sale beginning November 25th and running until Christmas. Holiday charter bookings are filling up & we have limited trips available for Christmas at this time. If you’re giving thought to taking your family out for a day on the water don’t hesitate to contact the Charter Desk at 305-367-2227 so you don’t miss out!

Bob Manzo, member of the Board of Directors and chair of the Finance Committee, followed Schmetterer with the Club’s financial report. He reported that the Club will likely exceed its revenue target largely due to the demand for Social membership. “The Social Waitlist is dramatically stronger than we thought when we did the budget for this year,” explained Manzo. “That results in significant initiation fees, higher than we anticipated.” Manzo closed his presentation with a cost comparison between Ocean Reef and other prominent equity clubs, concluding our annual dues are the lowest of all 14 compared. “We’re still unable to find a

comparable club offering all the amenities we have here at Ocean Reef,” Manzo declared. “We truly are unique.” Sunrise to a New Season

“Ocean Reef can be an awfully lonely place during the summertime, but we kept ourselves busy doing many different projects to improve our Club,” Ocean Reef Club President Michael Leemhuis opened his presentation. Leemhuis went on to talk about the ongoing task of improving the Buccaneer Island experience, adding landscaping, Kelly’s Bar, cabanas, and expanded usable beach area. He explained similar projects that were done at The Point, the Fishing Village, Dockside Lane, Port O’Call Deck, and more. To enhance Member experience and enjoyment, beautifying the Club was made a priority this summer. Acknowledging parking challenges the Club has had during peak busy times, Leemhuis also introduced the addition of 90 new parking spots near the location for 121 Marina. The six new, worldclass pickleball courts at the Tennis & Games Center made their debut the same day and Leemhuis excitedly

reported they were already filled for Canadian Weekend. He then transitioned into updates for food and beverage, including the addition of Clubhouse Prime and The Ocean Room Grille, new Food Truck hours and menu, and renovations of Toski’s at the Turn. “If there’s one thing that every one of you in this room shares, that is the food and beverage experience at Ocean Reef,” said Leemhuis. “Not all of you play golf, not all of you play pickleball, but I believe all of you utilize the food and beverage facilities.” Leemhuis closed his presentation thanking Ocean Reef Members for their generous contributions to the associates impacted by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti. “What makes Ocean Reef special is its Membership,” he said. “I honestly could not believe the generosity that came pouring in for our associates in Haiti. We had more than $219,000 in donations.” Looking Forward to the Future

Schmetterer began his presentation on the future of the Club by recognizing Leemhuis’ tireless devotion as Ocean Reef Club President. “Changes come from great leadership and the future of our Club is looking bright,” he said before transitioning into his presentation of ongoing community transformations. With the completion of much-needed Dock Office renovations, including a new pump out system, and the addition of a concierge and female dock attendant, the Marina’s future is filled with potential. In addition, the Carysfort Launch & Water Shuttle provides the Club with endless opportunities. Ocean Reef has always been deeply involved in its surrounding water and the Carysfort Launch & Water

Shuttle will allow Members to move around The Reef without using cars or golf carts. The boat, named Carysfort, will have three stops running continuously from Buccaneer Island, to the Dock Office, and then to its resting place by the Raw Bar. Future plans include eco-tours and private tours. Master Planning

Schmetterer then spoke about the Master Plan, offering a sneak peek into two major projects that will begin in the next few years. The first project beginning this spring, is a transformation of the Old Medical Center into what will be called Four Corners. The new professional building will house tenants, the first of which will be the Ocean Reef Club Real Estate Company. The second major project to look forward to is the replacement of The Ocean Room and Reef Lounge, which is projected to begin in 2018. Constructed more than 40 years ago, the Club has worked hard to keep the old building alive. “In its heyday, The Ocean Room was the center point of Member activity, where people congregated, listened to music and enjoyed themselves,” said Schmetterer. “We don’t want to lose that, we want to enhance it and we intend for it to become the Ocean Reef Club Clubhouse.” Nearly 300 Members attended Town Hall in person, with another 310 Members and families viewing it online to date. If you would like to watch the video recording, it is available on www. oceanreef.com. in the Member Quick Links section. Schmetterer ended the first Town Hall Meeting in an enticing way; with exciting projects to look forward to and of course, delicious Ocean Reef Signature Key Lime Pie.

From Homeless to Harvard The Keys Children’s Foundation is proud to present Liz Murray as its guest speaker at the annual “Be An Angel Luncheon” on Monday, January 16th, 2017 at Town Hall. Liz Murray’s survival as a child of drug-addicted parents that eventually led her to live on the streets in New York is a story of human suffering and the spirit of triumph over incredible odds. Her memoir Breaking Night, an international best seller, is an account of endurance and perseverance of the soul. A movie about Murray’s life, Homeless to Harvard, was nominated for three Emmy Awards. Among many lessons, Liz Murray illustrates how personal strength and a compassionate community enables people to achieve their dreams.

ORCA Notes by Terry Baxter, Director of ORCA Communication

In a flurry of meetings last week, ORCA and the Club addressed a bewildering array of issues, from menacing mosquitos and zombie deer to snake wranglers. At the first Advisory Council meeting of the year, representatives of all the Reef’s communities had the opportunity to present feedback and questions to the combined boards and management of the Club and ORCA. Bob Schmetterer said, “I can’t imagine a better place to be. Welcome back, welcome home.” ORCA President, David Ritz, told participants, “We welcome your comments and listen to your concerns. It helps us decide where to place our emphasis in the ORCA budget.” In the category of happy feedback, members liked the Medical Center addition, the new laundry and restrooms at the dockmaster’s office, and landscaping and lighting improvements. There was praise for Public Safety’s EMTs and congratulations to management for concentrating on the member’s experience. Questions and concerns included python mania in the Keys (yes, one python was killed in the South Harbor area, and others may be lurking in our natural habitat. If sighted, call Public Safety. Ritz says, “Snake wranglers have been trained”) and underage drinking (violations will be taken very seriously with consequences for member families – see sidebar on golf cart safety). Several major topics dominated the ORCA board meeting and Town Hall presentation: Fiber to Home

Shortly the final phase of the fiber cable installation will begin, the individual residential connections. Twelve hubs will be installed to service the Reef. As each hub is installed, Comcast will send letters to residents served by that hub asking them to schedule an appointment for in-home connection. No action needs to be taken until this notification letter arrives. Payment for your internet service and basic TV will be included in your annual ORCA assessment, so the assessment will necessarily increase. But, thanks to ORCA’s negotiated Comcast rate reductions, and the savings from no more monthly Comcast

bills, the assessment increase will be just about offset. The added value to the community is priceless. Zika Virus

How concerned should we be about exposure to Zika at Ocean Reef? Frustratingly, there can be no guarantees, but here are a few observations. Mosquito lifespans are short and their range is hundreds of feet rather than the fifty or sixty miles to the known infection zone in Miami. The seasonal reduction in mosquitos have left very few around Ocean Reef (the count will be negligible until May) and the Zika mosquito, Adedes Aegypti, is only a tiny fraction of our mosquito mix when they are here. Finally, mosquitos are not born with a Zika virus, they transmit it from one human to another by bites. So, there has to be a mosquito, a Zika infected person, and the mosquito has to bite that person and then you, a chain of events we think is unlikely and hope does not occur. In the meantime, stagnant water is the culprit in mosquito breeding, even a small amount such as a flower vase. Be sure to change water frequently and eliminate any standing water from around your residence. Golf Cart Safety

Golf cart safety is always important, but it becomes a critical issue as the holidays approach. ORCA has addressed safety continually in road and cart path improvements. Now more focus will fall on the operator and the vehicle. No golf cart providers will be permitted to rent to Ocean Reef members or guests unless their rental carts have been upgraded to the same safety standards as the Club-rented carts: roll-over protection, safety belts, rearview mirror, 18 mph speed limit (if operated by children with an ORCA licence), and horn, among other items. Rented carts driven by unlicensed drivers or in a reckless manner could be impounded. Operators of golf carts at Ocean Reef must have one of the following identifications, a valid driver’s license, or the photo-ID cart license issued by Ocean Reef Public Safety, which now must be prominently displayed on a neck lanyard. Unlicensed driving will face aggressive enforcement. The safety of our children and grandchildren must be taken seriously see adjacent Q&A. Remember that the Town Hall Meeting video archive is available at www.oceanreef.com.

If Your Children Will Be Driving a Golf Cart, Read This First One of the treasured traditions of the Ocean Reef Club is for responsible young people to drive golf carts on community paths and roads. But golf carts can be dangerous and serious accidents have occurred. For the safety for all in our community, the cooperation of members and renters is essential. We have asked Public Safety to respond to some questions on the subject. Ocean Reef Press: What are the requirements for driving a golf cart at Ocean Reef? Public Safety: A valid state driver license, or a valid cart license issued by Public Safety, or a valid learners permit issued by Public Safety. ORP: Do these requirements apply to privately owned golf carts? PS: Absolutely. ORP: Can children can sit in an adult’s lap and steer, or practice drive with parents without a license, right? PS: No. Children may never site in a driver’s lap. Accidents have occurred where children are crushed against the steering wheel from this custom. Supervised practice driv-

ing is only permitted in uncrowded parking lots or driveways. ORP: How does a young person get an Ocean Reef cart license? Where? PS: A family member of homeowners or Club members who is at least ten may take the written and driving test to earn a learners permit (which permits operation in daylight hours accompanied by a licensed driver at least eighteen years old). A family member at least 12 who has possessed an ORC learners permit for at least a year may apply for an Ocean Reef Golf Cart License. A guest staying at Ocean Reef is not allowed to sponsor a child for the golf cart license. Tests are conducted at the Welcome Center near the Front Gate. ORP: Who is responsible for ensuring these regulations are followed? PS: The cart operator, a golf cart renter, or the member/owner of a privately owned cart. ORP: What are serious cart violations? PS: Operating without a license, impaired or unsafe operation, driving an overloaded golf cart, joy riding with one or more occupants not properly seated, and driving in a prohibited area such as a golf course. ORP: What penalties might be imposed? PS: Loss of cart driving privileges, revocation of the right to rent a cart, membership sanctions including suspension from the Club.

As you draft your holiday shopping list (or wish list...), here’s a simple way to benefit Ocean Reef’s All Charities at the same time:  Give jewelry from internationally renowned Chicago jeweler Lester Lampert.  The suggestion is made with a lovely ulterior motive: From now through the month of February, whenever an Ocean Reef member makes a purchase from the jeweler, Mr. Lampert will

“We are also honored by Lester’s donation of a one-of-akind diamond necklace to this season’s All Charities Auction and that he will be exhibiting his artwork at the Carysfort Hall over that weekend,” adds Adelaide Skoglund, co-chair with Ken Karl, of the Feb. 10 -11 festivities.   A longtime jeweler featuring signature precious gemstone collections plus custom design options, Lester Lampert continues a legacy begun by his grandfather 97 years ago. In his career, he has designed a number of commissions, among them an 18kt. gold paper-

Homestead Charity Tour Dec. 6 by Yurianna Mikolay Executive Director Ocean Reef Community Foundation

The community is invited to join the Ocean Reef Community Foundation on a tour of charities in the Homestead/Florida City area on the morning of Tuesday, December 6th. The itinerary includes visits to the Homestead Youth Arts Center, a Redlands Christian Migrant Association childcare center, Project PetSnip and the Greater Miami Youth Symphony program at Florida City Elementary School. The Foundation’s Charity Tours are a great way for members to see the Community Grants Fund and proceeds of the All Charities Weekend at work. Tours feature

recent grant projects as well as new applicants and the opportunity to give feedback to the Grants Committee for consideration in recommending 2017 grants. Charity Tours depart promptly at 8:30 a.m. and return by 12:30 p.m. Additional tours this season include one to the Upper Keys on Monday, January 9th and a second Homestead/Florida City tour on Friday, February 3rd. To reserve your seat on the motor coach for any of the tours (space is limited), please email [email protected] or call 305-367-4707. Thanks ORCF! From Key Largo School

There’s no more appropriate time than Thanksgiving to feature messages of gratitude from local charities which have benefitted from the Ocean Reef Community’s generosity. This one is from Key Largo School Art Teacher Kimberly Walwer: “On behalf of my 520 art students, I would like to thank you for your support. With your grant, I have been able to purchase many exciting and enriching supplies for the students’ daily use along with the most basic. Without

your support our supplies were limited to pencils and crayons. Because of your grant we are able to creatively consume gallons of paint, glue, pounds of clay and glaze, and reams of drawing and construction

paper, creating colorful masterpieces.” Key Largo School (K-8) received almost $90,000 in ORCF Community Grants in 2016, including $1,000 for art supplies.

In the central core of the Medical Center’s newly renovated and expanded building is the heartbeat of the Center…the nurses’ station. Although much larger, the new glass partial walls make it resemble a fish bowl. This design is intentional because of the combination of nurses working, phones ringing and the all-important priority of patient confidentiality. Pat Hutchins, R.N states, “The new more open nurses station will allow us to be more accessible to providers and patients during visits. We are also pleased to have additional exam rooms to better allow us to meet patient needs in a timely manner.” So what is a “typical” day for a nurse? There probably isn’t a typical day, however, observing some of the daily responsibilities it might look like this: Nurse’s roles are multifaceted; they triage (initial severity assessment) in person or by phone, bring patients to exam rooms, perform vitals

and assist the provider… and that’s just the beginning. They are responsible for medication requests, supply ordering /organizing, exam room tidying and restocking, preparing and administering medications, injections and flu vaccine (300 as of September 1st). Nursing is more than just all this…They are someone who places the physical and mental comfort of each patient before their own busy schedule. Someone who will spend precious time on the phone with a patient and listen patiently to his or her problem and respond in the caring way that nurses do. Someone who puts their busy schedule on hold to hold a hand. Visit us on the web at www. mcor.org It’s flu season – have you had your flu vaccine? Reminder- Laboratory patients please park in the rear of the building and access the former “emergency only” entrance.

At this time of Thanksgiving Baptist Health Foundation recognizes the generosity of its most valued donors, members of the Founders Society.

PRESENTED BY MARY LEE We are looking forward to a another fabulous season! I am proud to represent Ocean Reef Club Real Estate Company. It is a pleasure working with my friend Bill Dickinson, the most experienced real estate broker at Ocean Reef for over forty years. My husband John and I feel privileged to give back to our great community. As Preferred Partners of the Ocean Reef Community Foundation Gala we have raised over $2 million with our donations since inception. Those donations included the Napa Valley Cult Wine Dinner, prepared by Master Chef Rich Rosendale; and a Napa trip, which included dinner at the French Laundry and play at the 26th Legends Invitational at Pebble Beach. We have also underwritten the Community Players musical at the Cultural Center, St. Patrick’s Day Rod & Gun Club “Miamians” and Friends of Tennis tournament. We were honored to have presented SEALs UP CLOSE & PERSONAL working with the great Ocean Reef Club events team, and fellow National UDT Navy SEAL Museum board member Don McClure. We underwrote the video of the event which was sent to all Ocean Reef members and can be viewed on the Ocean Reef Club website. We hosted a Dom Perignon reception for Medal of Honor recipient Jack Jacobs, Admiral & SEAL Bob Harward and SEAL Rick Kaiser for seventy very special guests.

She shares that the Academy is a fantastic school with a terrific faculty, wonderful students, and that she is thrilled to be part of the Ocean Reef community.

These organizations, concerned that the United States could lose its competitive edge, joined a bi-partisan coalition of 27 state governors in April to write an open letter

calling on Congress to boost teaching of computer coding and programming in schools across the nation.   The Academy at Ocean Reef is part of this movement to teach students the technology skills they need to succeed in whatever field they choose, whether it be retail, technology, finance, transportation, real estate or media. This school year, students from PreK to Grade 8 are learning how to actually create games, apps and programs using courses offered by Code.org and Scratch, an MIT Media Lab program. The Academy’s technology curriculum helps students learn to persevere in solving problems, challenging them to take risks. Students such as Ana Richiez, 6th grade Academy student, understand this: “It is important for us to challenge ourselves and work hard to learn Computer Science so that we can be prepared for our future careers.” To register for a limited number of spaces at The Academy on December 9 at 10 a.m. for Hour of Code, please email [email protected]

Art League Travel Adventures by Susan Bohan

When the family leaves after Thanksgiving and all is put back together, it can be fun to celebrate by going on an adventure or two or three “off island” and the Art League has just the trips. Art Basel

The afternoon of December 1, depart for the 14th edition of Art Basel in Miami Beach. With over 250 international art galleries participating, it is considered one of the most unique experiences in the art world. And after the group’s private tour with art professionals, dinner is provided at one of Miami’s hottest restaurants, Pied ‘a Terre, known for some of the finest French/Mediterranean cuisine. Those who have participated in the past rave about the ease of attending with the highly qualified guided tours conducted by art critics who know intimately the works displayed.

New! Just In!

Cirque de Soleil Kurios

On December 10, the Art League has arranged for opening night tickets to experience Cirque de Soleil Kurios, “A Cabinet of Curiosities”. Sprung from French Canadian roots, each Cirque de Soleil show blends music, choreography, design, acrobatics, characters and story telling. The central character of this show is a tinkerer called the Seeker, whose curio cabinet contains a cast of “quirky characters who come to life and spill out on stage to provide the evening’s enthralling entertainment. Theatregoers and theatre makers who love artful aggregations of styles and images that nonetheless cohere, will have a field day watching Kurios. It’s a master class in mashup.” Dinner will follow at the award-winning Argentinean restaurant Olivos in Doral. Members of the Cultural Center will also find this a fun way to see entertainment away from our lovely theatre but still with their many friends. Key West

If you have never been to Key West or have only partaken in the tourist-side, the 2-night, 3-day adventure beginning January 12

And More...

will allow you to “take in all the colors” of this unique town, according to Eleanor Williamson. The first afternoon includes a private trolley tour around the Island finished with fun and fine dining. The second day begins with another private tour conducted by the Executive Director of Studios of Key West. After lunch the group will be treated to the Annual Key West Historic House and Garden Tour led by a member of the Old Island Restoration Foundation. You will be awed by the lovely homes and gardens which reflect the wide array of tastes in the Keys. It is a mixture of creative renovations, stunning interiors along with the art collections and antiques this architecturally rich environment holds. These rarely available tours will also be a thrill to members of the Garden Club and Questers as well as connoisseurs of fine art. The day will end with dinner at one of th city’s most noted restaurants. The third day gives the group free time to explore the Key West they most enjoy before heading north to Islamorada for the dining adventure of Oltremare, one the finest restaurants in the Keys.

If the above do not get your interest piqued, there are 4 more trips planned by the Art League: Everglades Outpost and the Zoological Wildlife Foundation Experience on February 17 ◆◆ “Carousel” on February 12 ◆◆ Schnebly Redlands Winery Tour, Tasting and Dinner on March 10 ◆◆ Behind the Scenes Tour of the Biltmore and More…with Dr. Paul George on March 22 ◆◆

According to Art League member and frequent traveler Betsy Osborne, “I can attest from experience that the Art League trips do not disappoint….perhaps the best part of these excursions might just be the fact that if you are not already acquainted with your fellow travelers, you most certainly will be friends by the time you depart at ORC. The planners of these trips take great care in designing the itineraries while keeping in mind their fellow members. Everything is top notch – so Ocean Reef!” There are still reservations for all of the above unique adventures by contacting [email protected] or stop by the Art League for more details.

JOAN THE SHOPPER

Gilt Without Guilt by Joan Birsh

A Personal Shopping History All my life, which adds up to quite a few years, I’ve loved to shop…. And please note Shopping is not to be confused with Buying, though Buying is often the end result. As a little girl I adored paper dolls. I enjoyed cutting out all those lovely outfits. Then with their small paper tabs I’d “dress up” cardboard images of child movie stars, English princesses and women and girls, who didn’t resemble anyone I had ever actually seen. Why was it my portion to be born too early for Barbie! As a teenager, growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania, I hung with a group of nine girls (we actually had the nerve and insensitivity to call ourselves the “In Group”). Every Saturday afternoon we congregated at Rupp’s, the one store within walking distance of all of our homes that sold moderately priced, good quality clothing. Poor Mrs. Rupp. For hours we took over her two dressing rooms and tried on everything that caught our eyes. We weren’t buying. We were just shopping, hoping to find something suitable for the Saturday night dance at the local YWCA. When we got to high school and frequented the local Teen Town (in spite of a low approval rating from our parents) our outfits became edgier. Ann Roth was our trend setter. Not surprising since Ann went on to win multiple Tony awards and an Oscar for The English Patient.

My first job after college was at Mademoiselle, a now defunct fashion magazine that focused on young college and career women. I was in the Editorial Dept. where I made so little money that replacing the nylon stockings (frequently destroyed by the two Siamese cats my roommates and I housed in our tiny Greenwich Village apartment) almost exhausted my clothes budget. All of us “editorial” assistants were considered pretty scruffy by the “fashion” assistants, well-dressed young college grads, who were able to buy designer clothes at a discount and often inherited leftovers from fashion shoots. Playbill Magazine hired me as editor and paid me enough to facilitate shopping right across the street at a Korvette’s, one of the very first discount chains. My – now husband, then boss – Arthur claims that when I was needed at the office, he would send one of the company’s messengers to roam the aisles until I was found. Korvette’s was certainly not haute couture. Just a cut above Wal-Mart. But it satisfied an important element of my shopping credo – “Make it a TREASURE HUNT.” Treasure Hunts are really what make shopping fun. Treasures can be found at discount stores, designer sales, obscure boutiques, flea markets, even garage sales. Here are just a few of my recent “Finders/Keepers”. THE PERFECT DRESS FROM THE DESIGNER BOUTIQUE LEGGIADRO AT OCEAN REEF. Just right, my size but more than I felt I could afford. And then, I was told “that dress is now on sale for half price.” A GREAT BLACK EILEEN FISHER SWEATER AT A DISCOUNT STORE, where it was buried in a pile of polyester junk. Always in style, I've worn it for years and never tired of it.

A PAIR OF COACH ORANGE LOAFERS FROM A SHOP IN KEY WEST. I saw a sign that said “50% off all shoes” as we were driving out of town. I made Arthur stop and it was true! In addition to the orange I bought a black pair. And I’m sorry I didn’t have time to buy at least 3 more. Relating that last experience at the Coach Store reminds me of a missed opportunity, a memory that I have harbored for about 40 years. Briefly there was a real manufacturers’ outlet about 10 miles from my hometown. I found A GREEN VELVET CALVIN KLEIN SKIRT FOR A BARGAIN PRICE. But I made the mistake of “thinking it over”. When I returned, not only the skirt was gone. So was the store. Then life offered me a fantastic shopping opportunity. For a number of years we were lucky enough to spend some

months each year in France. We were very close to Nice, which has wonderful designer boutiques. And here is the good part. At that time the French franc was 10 to the dollar. I’m still wearing everything I bought in those stores. Not every year, but it’s amazing how often those classic French designs come back in vogue. My life is a costume party. I never abandon a single garment that I once loved. Dressing up for Zumba, lunch at Palm Court, movies at the Cultural Center and the Foundation Gala are all a delicious challenge. I frequently go shopping in my closet and often find something I had forgotten I owned. Remember dressing up should never be a trial but rather a fun game. So please, shoppers heed my advice – GILT WITHOUT GUILT!

Give the Gift of Ocean Reef with Legacy Memberships Special membership category for adult children and grandchildren

Families love Ocean Reef Club, and Ocean Reef Club loves families. That’s why the Membership Department offers a special membership category just for the adult children and grandchildren of equity members: the Legacy membership. Equity members’ children and grandchildren, ages 23 and up, who do not reside within the Ocean Reef Community, are eligible to apply for Legacy membership. Legacy membership entitles your children and grandchildren to enjoy the same membership privileges that you have, including applicable discounts, as well as

invitations to special Legacy events and Club mailings. Even if your children are not Legacy members, your grandchildren are eligible. Perhaps the most appealing of all, the extremely low dues and a membership that is all their own; Legacy members and their families receive their own Club membership account and membership cards. There are now three categories of Legacy membership. The first is Junior Legacy, children and grandchildren ages 23-25 can enroll simply by filling out an application. There are no dues until they reach age 25, at which point the dues are minimal through the age of 49. Upon reaching the age of 50, the Legacy member may move to the Senior Legacy category. Dues are increased to $1000 less than the current Local or Social membership dues and set aside in a separate escrow account to be applied to up to 50% of the transfer fees for an Equity membership should they decide to do so. For more information about memberships for your children and grandchildren, contact the Membership Department at 305-3675921.

Giving Tree The Keys Children’s Foundation and the Ocean Reef Club are collecting holiday gifts for low income and needy children living in the Keys. You can help! Purchase a gift for a boy or girl ages 2-15. Drop off your wrapped or unwrapped gift to the Membership Department by Dec. 21. We are also collecting $20.00 gift cards that will be delivered to the children currently staying at the Children’s Shelter in Tavernier. They really enjoy their special trips to Kmart and Beals to purchase items that they might need while staying at the shelter! Your generosity and holiday spirit will be much appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact the Membership Office at 367-5921.

Club Crests & Membership Cards for Equity Equity Members are invited to stop by the Membership office to pick up your Club crest and updated Membership cards.

Authentic Indian Meals

Raghavn Iyer’s Returns to the Cooking School “From the Pantry” by Carole Kotkin, Cooking School Manager

Carysfort Kitchen is far from being a typical cooking school. It’s an upscale culinary theater where members can roll up their sleeves to participate or just observe. When you attend a class or event you will be up close and personal with some of the most celebrated chefs and cookbook authors in the food industry. By now you have probably received 2016-17 Taste! in your mailbox and had a chance to register for the classes you wish to attend. Taste! is also available in the Food and Beverage Office or on-line at oceanreef.com/dining. This program promises a year of extraordinary food and wine events featuring culinary greats like television star Sara Moulton, celebrated cookbook author Virginia Willis and renowned chefs Scott Drewno and Aaron Brooks. Our first class of the season on December 2 at 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., in conjunction with Vintage Weekend, features Indian culinary expert Raghavan Iyer, winner of the IACP Cooking Teacher of the Year Award and bestselling author of Smashed, Mashed, Boiled and Baked—and Fried and Indian Cooking Unfolded. When Iyer moved from Mumbai to Minneapolis he quickly realized he would need to re-create the tastes of home using U.S. supermarket ingredients.

Chef Rahhaven Iyer

Chef Raghaven Iyer's books and awards.

Much to his (and his friends’) delight, he managed to do so with great success–and in his books and classes he shares what he learned with home cooks. Indian fare, which dates back thousands of years on the sub-continent, has grown to be fabulously popular in Europe during the last half-century. Now, it is finally set to take America by storm. “At last, anyone can prepare authentic Indian meals in their own home and take pleasure in what millions around the world have been enjoying for centuries,” Iyer notes. In this class he simplifies favorite Indian dishes, removes the intimidation, condenses the steps, and limits the ingredients. Iyer’s voice is clear and encouraging, his directions faultless, and his recipes authentic yet completely accessible. Host of Emmy® winning documentary Asian Flavors, Iyer, a Certified Culinary Professional, and former President of The International Association of Culinary Professionals, has acquired degrees in Chemistry (Bombay University), and Hotel, and Restaurant Management (Michigan State University). Join us as we welcome back Chef Iyer for an afternoon filled with vivid flavors, seasonal ingredients, and unexpected combinations as we savor the art of the Indian table.

Raghavn Iyer’s Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Red Chiles Serves 4 ◆◆ 1 pound russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, diced, and submerged in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning ◆◆ 2 tablespoons vegetable oil ◆◆ 8 to 10 dried red Thai or cayenne chiles, to taste, stems removed ◆◆ 2 tablespoons skinned split black lentils (cream-colored in this form, urad dal), picked over for stones ◆◆ 1 teaspoon black or yellow mustard seeds ◆◆ 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems ◆◆ 1 teaspoon coarse kosher or sea salt ◆◆ 8 to 10 medium-size to large fresh curry leaves 1. Fill a medium-size (or larger) saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Drain the potatoes and add them to the boiling water. Bring it to a boil again. Lower the heat to medium and cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are very tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water, drain the potatoes. Transfer them to a medium-size bowl and coarsely mash them. Cover the mashed potatoes to keep them warm. 2. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chiles and 1 tablespoon of the lentils, and stir-fry until the chiles are slightly blackened and the lentils are honey-brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chiles and lentils to a mortar. Pound the blend,

potent and red-hot, with the pestle, scraping it into the center with a spatula to contain it for a concentrated pounding until it has the consistency of coarsely ground black pepper. 3. Reheat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds, cover the pan, and cook until the seeds have stopped popping (not unlike popcorn), about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon lentils and stir-fry until they turn golden brown, 15 to 20 seconds. Scrape this nuttysmelling oil into the potatoes, and add the pounded spice blend, cilantro, salt, curry leaves, and the reserved cooking water. Stir well to combine, making a thicksauced curry mottled with chiles. Serve.

Most Known Unknown by Micah Winecoff, Port O’Call Manager

When I announced the theme “Most Known Unknown”, suppliers, associates, and members all asked, “Micah, what does that even mean?”. The predominant recurring theme in my exploration of the world of wine is that there is always something new to learn and ample new opportunities to titillate and cultivate the palate. Moroccan Wine?

Did you know that all 50 states in the U.S.A. have a bonded winery, or that wine is produced in Syria, Morocco, and China?

To add to all the various regions throughout the world that produce wine, there are thousands of grape varieties used for wine production. The average wine enthusiast is probably familiar with the “international grapes” (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, etc.) and maybe a few regional specialties such as Nebbiolo and Sangiovese. While these are typically the grapes that produce wines garnering 100 point scores from wine critics, there is a plethora of other grapes that produce excellent wines. For Starters... Value!

So why branch out from the comfort zone and try new grapes or classic grapes from new regions? For starters…value! Just like any other business in the world, the wine industry is a business so economics comes into play. An acre of Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy costs an average of $5.2

million an acre, Napa Valley $100k to $400k an acre, and Washington State $25k to $85k an acre. Right from the start the owner of a winery in all three areas will have to charge very different prices to break even, much less turn a profit. Supply and demand also plays a huge part. Demand for top Bordeaux went through the roof when it got hot in the Chinese market. Since, they can’t create more land and produce more wine, naturally prices went up. This has led many top producers from world famous regions to branch out into lesser known areas. Paul Hobbs is an example of this as he has started consulting and importing wines under labels from Argentina and Southwest France. Finding Value

One of the common statements I get from members and guest in Port O’ Call is “I want a great value wine.” (Don’t we all want great value with any purchase

we make?). While there are still great value bottles of Burgundy out there, it is much easier to find value in Cru Beaujolais or wine from one of the lesser known villages of Burgundy (Chorey-les-Beaune for example), or wines from the south of France where land is cheap and demand isn’t as high. It can be difficult to step outside of our comfort zone and try new things, especially when we don’t want to gamble our money on a wine we aren’t familiar with. This Thursday, December 1st you are in luck, as Port O’ Call will be featuring wines from all over the world that you may or may not be familiar with, no gambling necessary as you get to taste the wines first and discover if you like them before making a purchase. This is the perfect opportunity to discover a great new wine that can become a point of discussion at your next dinner party and impress your guests with a fantastic wine they have never heard of.

Port ‘O Call Under The Lights by Terry Baxter The about-to-be wine bar has a wonderful view of the marina “under the lights.”

For any of you who have missed the complimentary wine tastings at the Port ‘O Call in the Fishing Village, it’s time to make up for lost time. For this year’s kick off, Micah Winecoff assembled two-dozen delightful examples of wines from Santa Barbara, the Rhone, and Burgundy. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Pinot Noir were the stars. Represented were bottles from California, Burgundy, the Rhone Valley, and Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Members admired the new patio and deck that will become a

wine-by-the-glass venue overlooking the marina. Strings of lights overhead added to the festive feel of the first tasting. “I can’t believe we are eating again,” said one patron lining up for the lavish catering spread. The excellent wine selections drew members and guests alike. Ed Downey, a tax lawyer from Missouri, was here for a long weekend to cheer on his son in law, Carl Edwards, who was in the running to win the NASCAR Championship in Homestead. I told him I would root for Edwards (already one of my favorites). Two wines I particularly liked were a Meursault (white Burgundy), which was creamy, with rich overtones of peach, butterscotch, and lemon cake. As for the reds, the Crozes-Hermitage had plenty of plum, blackberry, black cherry, and a racy iron note. I also always like the Fess Parker wines, although the selections on offer were lower-end examples. But the joy of these tastings is mingling with your friends and discovering a new bargain favorite.

Yacht Club Commissioning of the Fleet by Terry Baxter

Several deafening cannon blasts, copious salutes, and a wacky paean to the sea from Jim Leenhouts, set the stage for another wicked good party for the Ocean Reef Yacht Club. In an annual tradition, Commodore Henry Stout honored the past Yacht Club Commodores and celebrated the Commissioning of the Fleet in a flag raising ceremony at the Point, followed by a dinner-dance under the stars at Palm Court. Duty and pomp concluded, merrymaking and good cheer were the orders of the day.

Ben Cart imagines he is a disco king with Suzanne Stout gracefully one step ahead.

A Superstar Weekend in Every Way “Tennis Shorts” by Jim Morton, Director of Tennis

Wow!  What a weekend we had at the Tennis & Games Center last week! It started off with a rejuvenated Canadian Weekend that had its largest turnout ever this year with at least 90 participants. On Friday afternoon the Tennis & Games Center hosted our Canadian Members and their Guests for a tennis tournament and added a pickleball tournament as well. The pickleball courts were completed just in time to allow 20 players to first be taught the basics of how to play before putting them in a tournament. Winning the top the prizes in tennis were Diana Hogarth and Jim Meenan with

Claire McCann with Venus Williams.

Venus Williams with our youngest tennis players.

second place going to Libby MacAulay and Greg Hogarth. The pickleball winners were Tom Davidson Jr. and Grant Hood who won the playoff against John Barford and Chris Hogarth who received the second place awards.   On Saturday, while most of the Canadians were golfing, the Tennis & Games Center hosted Tennis Superstar Venus Williams. Ms. Williams gave an inspiring talk about her career and how her entrepreneurial business spirit led her to forming her tennis fashion line, EleVen. Venus came across as humble and down to earth, making all of us feel as though she was

just casually speaking to a group of her friends. Over a hundred Members and guests came out to this first of its kind event at The Reef!   Completing the weekend was a golf croquet tournament held on our beautiful croquet lawn for the Canadians. Taking home first place in this event was the team of Barbara and Ron Besse who edged out the team of Patti and Tom Davidson Jr. in a playoff!  If you are just coming back to The Reef during this Thanksgiving Holiday, make it a point to come by our new pickleball courts. Our two hard tennis courts have been converted into six beautiful

pickleball courts. We have rental equipment for those who would like to give this fast growing game a try. If you would like to play during this busy time, remember you can reserve a court by calling the Tennis Pro Shop or by going on the Tennis & Games Center’s reservation system, ForeTees.  Last but not least if you have any children who can serve and rally playing tennis we will be running a Junior-Teen Tennis Round Robin & Pizza Party on Friday, November 25 from 6 – 7:30 p.m. Cost is $24 per player. To sign up call the Pro Shop at 305-367-6583.

MGA News

The second MGA event of the year is now in the books. The day’s calm winds and sunshine provided a great opportunity for players to go low. We had some low scores, but none lower than that of Scott Heffner’s 74 gross and Leonard Turowski’s 64 net. (FYI – You cannot win in both Net and Gross divisions). Next week’s MGA is a 9 a.m. shotgun on the Dolphin Course

Not even a little drizzle couldn’t dampen our spirits on Ribbon Day! There were some great scores and some great shots out there! Congrats to Bardee Wyer, Joan Flippin, Gerda Fletcher, Carla Connor, Gayle Tallardy, Marita Sladky, and Nancy McPherson who all made birdies today and qualified for the Birdie Bash! Next week we are on the Dolphin again with Front and Back Nine Tee-Times available. The Format is 2 Best Balls of the Foursome. See you all there! Stay tuned for more info about other great upcoming

LGA events like the Yoga Classes, Clinics with Jennifer and the Tee-Talks at Toskis. Speaking of Toskis at the Turn...

The newly renovated Toskis at the Turn is set to open in the very near future! The renovation has been substantial and it will surely have been worth the wait. In the Golf Shop

Thanksgiving is the start of the most magical season, bringing friends and family together who we may not have seen all year. Though magical, this time of year also means chilly weather and rushed holiday shopping, along with wrapping presents late into the night. Let the Golf Shop take care of your holiday needs this year, from sweaters and vests to stocking stuffers and gifts so big only we can

wrap them! Don’t forget your favorite golfer this year – we are stocked with brand new golf bags, clubs, head covers, gloves, and much more.  Not a golfer? Our Ocean Reef Club heirloom blankets are custom made from recycled cotton and are of substantial weight and size. These 50” x 60” blankets make the perfect addition to your home or boat, and at $149 you can get one for both! We also carry handmade Smathers & Branson belts, money clips, hats, wallets, and much more – all beautifully crafted with the Ocean Reef burgee.  Stop by the Golf Shop this week to take advantage of our ongoing 50 percent off sale, and let our golf staff take care of any questions or needs to may have. And don’t forget to let us know if your purchase needs gift wrapping!

Make More Putts “Golf Tip” by Brian Varsey, Head Teaching Professional

To be a good putter it is very important to control the speed of your putts. Good speed control will leave you a shorter second putt and you will also start to make more putts. From day to day and course to course the speed of the greens can change. It is important before you play to hit some putts on the putting green to calibrate yourself to the speed of the greens that day. It should only take ten putts or

so to get used to them. Between rounds practice putting to the edge of the green or to an area just past the hole without coming up short or going more than two feet past. The size of the hole will increase by having the ball roll the proper speed and you will eliminate three putts. Upcoming AimPoint Express green reading clinics will be November 26th and December7th from 3:00-5:00. This is the only scientific way to read greens using your feet and legs instead of your eyes which can fool you.We will also be having a short game clinic on November 26th from 9:00-12:00 and a Ball Flight Clinic on December 3rd. And every Saturday from 12:00-4:00 come take the skills challenge at the driving range. Compete for prizes against other members in your handicap group.

If any player knocks over one of the empty bottles or cans, they have to go back to the previous wicket.” This is gives us some food for thought (Forget about the turkey sandwich.) Maybe we should adjust our rules of play for Black Friday? All spectators are invited to come out to the croquet lawns to witness the changes. You will be able to watch our players lumbering about the day after good eating and what we hope was a pleasant night’s rest. Next week we will be sure to tell all. Remember what happens on the croquet lawns does not stay on the croquet lawns. A Happy Thanksgiving greeting from a group of our members who gathered last Sunday to enjoy a pleasant afternoon of croquet.

“Croquet News” by Ron Sekura

If you are reading this article you survived Thanksgiving. Did you fee tired and sleepy after that oh, too big meal? Well part of the reason may be that turkey contains considerable amounts of tryptophan. But that’s not the whole story. All the other stuff like pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, candied sweet potatoes and a little wine work to make your insulin spike and remove most of the amino acids from your blood. But not tryptophan, it hangs around

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

and gets pumped into the brain where is ultimately converted to the sleep inducing hormone melatonin. Pleasant dreams. Now that we are up and awake for Black Friday, you may want to head out to the shopping malls and wrestle the crowds, but some of us will head out to the croquet lawns.

In his book “Will Knit for Food” Gregory Patrick describes how around holidays, like Thanksgiving, his family and friends would gather to play croquet. “… my grandfather and his brothers …. bent the rules to their own liking…. First you must be drinking while you play. This is very important because the moment you’re

bidding, the opening lead and the play to try to come up with a mental picture of partner's or declarer's hand. Think ahead, and be ready for critical plays. Indecision will often tell declarer what you hold in a suit, so try to decide in advance which card you'll play when declarer leads a suit toward or from dummy.

Bridge Tip

by Gregg Van Dyke, Director of Card & Game

Lead attacking combinations (suits with touching honors -QJ10x, KQxx, etc.). Don't lead unsupported aces (Ax, Axx, Axxx) unless it's the suit partner has bid. When in doubt about what to lead, lead the fourth-best card in your longest suit. Leading from length is the "standard" lead to a notrump contract, and it's often the safest lead to a suit contract. Count cards and points as you play. Use clues from the

Use defensive signals to help partner during the play: When discarding or following suit, signal with the highest card possible in a suit you want partner to lead. Play a low card if you have no interest in the suit. ◆◆ When following suit, use count signals to help partner figure out how many cards you hold in the suit. Playing high-low in a suit tells partner you have an even number of cards. Playing low, then high shows an odd number of cards. ◆◆

A Season of Blessings by Lesley Kirschner Eckhardt

A Prayer by Jim Leenhouts:

Heavenly Father, it is time again, as we start a new Card Sound Sailing Club season, to thank you for your blessings upon us. Thank you Heavenly Father for the gifts of sailing, using only your God-granted, peaceful, non-polluting gift of wind, to be free from noxious substances and noise, for calm fellowship and our cheerful greetings of each other as we may also meet each other on occasion which sometimes does require a raised voice or inappropriate words to those on the port tack – but as a request, what else can we do, Heavenly Father, when our competitors are all so stone deaf? Nevertheless, Heavenly Father, thank you for our dear deaf competitors, for without them there would be no competition. We cheerfully compete, knowing it is your true spirit to advance our abilities and the technology of

our favorite sport of sailing, and as we strive to promote progress, we choose to compete in the tried and age-tested Bullseye vessels, designed at your dawn of mankind to remove, in you spirit, any uncertainty that the vessel or your help has anything to do with the winner. We ask your blessing of our leaders and workers for a smooth administration change after our election. Especially bless the many members who so diligently strive to help us make our club so great

again, every year, year after year. We ask your heavenly protection from mishaps as we set our sails to the sea again, for it is from you we have blessedly inherited our love for the sea and, at least here and now, at the first event before we sail, love for our fellow sailing competitors. A New Season Begins

The Card Sound Sailing Club season has kicked off, under the leadership of Commodore Chris Streit and his new Bridge, with a great

turnout of almost nine boats on the start, but alas, there were only eight as God must have been protecting Sim Wooten and Geri Manning for what might have been a worser fate than the main breaking loose. But nonetheless, a great day of sailing it turned out to be with Al Mast and Henry Stout, once again setting the bar high with solid firsts, and Chris Streit and Suzanne McManmon getting in their groove following the first race to carry a steady 2nd. Ed and Sandy Kirscher came out strong, taking 2nd and 3rd in the first two races ahead of Bruce Jeffreys and Jerry Klimowitz. But with Windsor and Erin Coffin and Nick Csendes with new crew, Steve Schoedinger, holding the Kirschners off at the finish line, Bruce and Jerry were able to press on in the final race finishing 3rd for the day. We look forward to a new and blessed season of sailing and racing and fun on the beautiful waters of Card Sound.

Eat, Drink and Work Out! “Fitness Focus” by Luis Bracamonte, Member Fitness Center Manager

Every day we eat and drink to live, experience joy and often to indulge. A day without food or drink is an anomaly. I argue, that physical movement and exercise should be viewed under a similar light. We move to live. Workouts are daily rituals which

place the body under temporary pain and discomfort to later bring positive long lasting changes and improvements. Working out should be part of our everyday routine, especially as we get older. The more birthday’s we celebrate the more time we must spend exercising to slow down life’s clock. We must work consistently to maintain and develop our strength, flexibility, stamina and our movement skills. The body will not stop aging, but it will never lose its ability to improve either. We can and should aim to get better every day until our last moment. Move to live, work out to thrive and create physical challenges to indulge in the fullness of the human experience. and emotional well-being. Every mediation is different with a wide variety of themes and focal points, but each will include yoga postures, breathing techniques, mantra, and a guided visualization. Group classes will take place every Saturday at 8am starting Dec. 3 in the Member Fitness Center. Natacha is also available for private classes at the fitness center or in the privacy of your home.

While admiring the old boats, Vicki Goldstein wondered if this type of event would work at Ocean Reef Club. Upon her return to Ocean Reef, she used her connections to yacht brokers, boatyards, maritime museums, classic boat societies and yachting writers and magazines to invite owners of classic boats to participate in this first-of-itskind event. In 1994, the inaugural year, 20 yachts accepted the invitation, and Vintage Week-

end was born. The second year, Ocean Reef member and car collector Bill Raithel recruited fellow car enthusiasts Bill Parfet and Ron Elenbaas to bring their vintage automobiles, and the Ocean Reef airport manager Denny Moore recruited aviators from nearby air shows to participate. Members Ron Elenbaas and Lenny Sikora would eventually take the reins of the automobile Vintage | 2

At 2:00 p.m. the commentary at the Airport begins as attendees gather round to hear literal “war stories” about these famed aircraft.

First and Foremost a Club… and a Crest At the recent Town Hall meeting the announcement was made for Equity members to stop by the Membership office and pick up their new Membership cards and Club Crest. But many Members have asked what the crest signifies and why they would want one (or two)? Historically Speaking To answer those questions, we must first journey back to Medieval times around the 11th Century. As a proud Knight preparing for battle you don your armor and pick up your shield and take a moment to admire the design painted or carved upon it. That design recalls the battles and bravery of your achievements. These earliest Coat of Arms started as simple as a cross and evolved into more elaborate insignia becoming quite common among families that had been

Club crests are available to Equity members in the Membership office.

granted the rights to display them by a ruling monarch. Many were transferred from the Knight’s shield to pennants that flew over the castle but the rights to transfer to future generations were controlled by the countries of Europe. It was in the 13th Century that King Richard of England allowed the Coat of Arms to be passed down from one generation to the next, provided slight modification was made to the previous design. This relaxing of the requirements eventually spread to allow women to bear their own design modifications and that was followed by Churches, individual towns and

Universities each to have their own. Soon after select companies with Royal Charters were authorized to create their own Coat of Arms. This identified their organizations as unique while heralding what they stood for – a forerunner to today’s Corporate Logos. Typically, a Coat of Arms is designed in four parts: The Shield – representative of the original use. Supporters – people or animals supporting the shield usually set off to both sides. The Motto- words that represent owner’s beliefs. The Crest - at the top of the Coat of Arms and often separated to identify the family, company or organization. Sporting Clubs As use of the Coat of Arms continued to expand, sporting teams, commonly called clubs in Europe, adopted the crest from the town’s coat of arms, often on a flag or pennant. Due to advances in the textile industry around the late 1880’s “club” crests began to be placed on the player’s uniforms. This is where we start to see the transition to private clubs. With the significant growth of private clubs in the late 19th century they spanned from a social and political focus to sports such as rowing and golf.

As the value of these emblems grew to identify the team and their supporters, pride in the crests began to took on even more significance. More attention to their design included the use of birds of prey like eagles, hawks and owls. The same held for animals such as lions and tigers along with warlike symbols such as cannons and swords. These were trademarked and became valuable additions to the Sports Clubs they represented. So jump forward to today and if you are an Equity Member, please be sure to stop by the Membership office to pick up your new Membership cards and complimentary club crest. Just as the original coat of arms where only available to those who were granted specific rights of use by royalty, your Membership in Ocean Reef Club provides the right to display the Club’s Crest. There is no greater way to show pride in your Club than to proudly display the club’s crest when socializing at our more formal club functions. Curious about the appropriate way to display your Crest? Stay tuned for the mysterious origins of the Blazer in a future edition of the Ocean Reef Press.

The time between Thanksgiving and the New Year is a joyous blur of all the special occasions, treasured traditions and cherished opportunities to spend quality time with family and friends. In the whirlwind of festive activity, it is easy to be distracted from making yearend charitable donations, which can have real tax consequences in the next year. The Foundation offers a simple solution to take the pressure off yearend giving. Opening your own named Donor Advised Fund (DAF) before December 31st takes just a few minutes, and ensures your current year tax deduction AM_OldReliable_Ad_v6_Final.pdf along with all the time you need to

decide how to make your resulting donations. Because DAFs have no distribution requirements, they allow you to time contributions for maximum tax advantage and develop philanthropic plans on your own timetable. Of course, if you have a private foundation with an annual five percent distribution requirement, there is added pressure to make decisions before yearend. Gifting any remaining required amount to a DAF by yearend fulfills the foundation’s legal obligation and provides extra time to make well grants. 1 considered 11/9/16 11:51 AM In the case of a donation made specifically to sat-

While the benefits of DAFs are many, the flexibility and immediacy are particularly relevant at this most eventful time of the year. Some family funds incorporate giving as a holiday custom by inviting younger generations to designate gifts to favorite causes. Whenever and wherever you make your charitable donations, we’ll do the work and you’ll get the credit and pay no fees whatsoever.

RCMA Thank You As Ocean Reef celebrates classic conveyances this week, at least one local charity is grateful for the shiny new wheels that help them to do more for the families they serve. According to Homestead Coordinator Lissette Flores, “The Redlands Christian Migrant Association would like to thank the Ocean Reef Community Foundation! With your support we purchased a new van with increased capacity. We are able to transport more children to follow up on medical treatment plans to address failed hearing, vision, dental, and developmental screenings. Thanks to you, the proper and prompt medical attention will ensure our children are ready to learn.”

2, 2015 2016 12 | Ocean Reef Press | December 4,

Membership in the Ocean Reef Club The strength of any club is reflected in desire for existing members to sponsor their friends and associates as new Club members. During the recent economic downturn this strength was apparent at Ocean Reef as we readily built back several categories of membership, through the ongoing support of existing members. This coupled with a carefully crafted marketing program to introduce new prospective members to the Club and a selective vetting process to ensure all applicants share similar values with the current Membership,, brought us to the point where we now have several categories of

MEMBERSHIP TYPE Patron Property Owners and the “Founding Members” of the Club Equity Property Owners, also referred to as Charter Members Bi County Equity Property owners whose primary residence is in Monroe or Miami Dade county, or who have a substantial business interest in either county Equity Emeritus A newer category of Membership created in 2014. Jr. Legacy A child (or grandchild) of an Equity or Patron Member, upon reaching the age of 23 may apply for Legacy Membership. Legacy Ages 25-49 Sr. Legacy Children and Grandchildren of Equity and Patron Members over the age of 50

AVAILABILITY Not Available

DESCRIPTION This special category has just under 200 members who provided the key financial support required to create this Member Owned Club

Available

Combined with the Patron members, they “own” the Club. Each Member receives one vote. Equity membership is only available to approved property owners. Closed Bi-County memberships are limited so that Ocean Reef does not become a bedroom community for Miami or the Florida Keys. This keeps the club vibrant during the week and provides support for more dining options and amenities for the greater part of the year. This category is at full capacity and not accepting applications for membership at this time. Restricted Availability This category allows a long time Equity Member who has sold their property to retain their Equity Membership without the purchase of another property. This is important as this status does not limit the number of days they can use the Club. Available In this Junior category you have until the age of 25 to enjoy the benefits of Legacy Membership without any initiation fee or Dues.

Available

Available

Social Waitlisted Unlike other clubs where “social membership” limits access to certain facilities, at Ocean Reef this membership provides access to all facilities but for a limited number of days.

Local A Social Membership for those that have a primary residence in Miami Dade or Monroe County Summer Only Local membership with summer use only

Membership on a waitlist. Having these waitlists enhances the value for all current members and enhances desirability for Club Membership overall. Now that we have achieved the measured point where use of the club is balanced between these different categories of Membership it is no longer about “building” the Membership. It is about maintaining the “right” number of Members with what we have come to know as the “Sweet Spot”. If you have any questions about current Membership availability please contact your membership office at (305) 367-5921.

Waitlisted

Available

From the age of 25-49 Children (and Grandchildren) of Equity and Patron Members are eligible for this Membership status that has terrific benefits and very low dues. Upon reaching their 50th birthday Legacy benefits can continue with this Membership type. Dues increase to $1000 less than the current Social Member dues, accruing toward payment of their own Equity Membership or towards transfer fees on an existing Equity from their parents or grandparents. (Max accrued value $20K) Social Members can use the club for up to 59 days a year. That option can be extended when they are staying in the Inn. Social Members renting a home or dock may rent for more than 59 days but no more than five times over the course of their Social Membership. This encourages our Social members who would like to spend more time at the Club to explore the possibilities of Equity membership. This very popular category is currently on a waitlist, having achieved the targeted sweet spot set by the Board of Directors. The same access opportunities apply for Local Members as they do for Social. Because the proximity to the club is much closer and the opportunity to visit just for the day is much greater there is a higher initiation fee and dues structure. Local Members that prefer to use the Club only in the Summer can apply for this Membership type with lower initiation fees and annual dues than the year round Local Membership.

He completed his Internal Medicine internship and residency at the Charleston Area Medical Center in Charleston, WV and is Board Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. For those of you that have benefited from the Executive Physical program at the Greenbrier Clinic, he may be a familiar face. Dr. Mann was formerly the Medical Director of Greenbrier Clinic and a Preventative and Diagnostic Medicine physician for Executive Health at the Greenbrier Clinic in White Sulfur Springs, W.V. Some of his primary interests in internal medicine are early detection and disease prevention, executive health, atherosclerosis imaging, lipid disorders, medical

Chapel Surprise by Gertrude Mann

Heads up, Ocean Reef! An installation of both a crèche and a Hanukkah menorah will soon be visible on the Chapel lawn. This first time happening will surely become a tradition to delight and unite our spirited community. Chaplain Bob Henley and Jane, always innovative leaders, spearheaded the idea and were ably assisted by Emilie Wierda, Pat Isenberg, Michael Cardone, and John Altieri, the project’s master electrician. The holidays of Christmas and Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, are distinctly different, one celebrating the birth of the Christ Child, the other a celebration of liberation from tyranny and oppression. Both symbols of faith, crèche and menorah, are revered. They will be lit from the onset of installation, but individual lights on the meno-

rah will commence from the first night of the holiday on December 24 and onward for eight nights. Because dates for Jewish holidays vary from year to year (based on the Hebrew calendar lunar model), it is happenstance that this year, both holidays coincide. Pat Isenberg enjoyed searching the Internet for the menorah and marveled at the many designs and styles. “The Hanukkah menorah is unique --unlike a similar candelabra,” she says. “It must have nine branches, one for each night. The ninth branch holds the “Shamash”, the worker candle used to light the others.” Emilie Wierda”s enthusiasm is boundless. She says, “ This is a true gift to the community. It is the best example of our mantra- ‘many congregations, one community.’ Michael Cardone, president of the Protestant Foundation, says ”We’ll see a physical representation of the Judeo-Christian ideals upon which our Chapel was founded and where all find a space.”

They Keep on Giving

Chapel Clothing Drive

by Mike Smith

On Wednesday, December 7th and Thursday, December 8th, we are having our annual Clothing Drive at the Chapel. It has been expanded to include small, clean, usable household goods. Sheets, towels, and pillows are very welcomed. Shoes are also welcome. Please check your home and see if there are things that you would like to donate. The items go to Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Homestead, Salvation Army and Monroe Association of ReMARCable Citizens. Thank you for your support. If you have questions, please contact Natasha Price at 305-367-5078.

We all know that, in general, Ocean Reef members are some of the most generous people in the world. When you think about the millions of dollars given each year to Ocean Reef charities, we are a community that keeps on giving. In addition, many of our members give the most valuable thing any of us have—our time. For the last sixteen years, Sally Weisleder and Bardee Wyer, have organized Ocean Reef volunteers for the South Dade Toy Drive. Each year, over three hundred fifty Christmas gifts are presented to needy children at the South Date Child Development Center and many times the gifts are the only ones the children will get. The program started back in 1997 when Gail Berry, the wife of our first ORC President, first conceived the idea of gift giving for needy children after being approached by

an employee who’s child attended the Center. Sally became interested and began the organizing process working closely with Ruth Dawson and Judy Astbury. Then, with Bardee’s help, the number of kids receiving presents started to grow and has increased every year since. It has become a true labor of love. The job is colossal. It starts with fundraising, then organizing volunteers. The children are asked to pick from a list of gifts they would like. Then the items are procured,

wrapped, named and freighted up to the Center. Each year, just before Christmas break, the kids and teachers put on a special show, in part to show their appreciation. For the parents and friends, a dry eye is rare. Sally and Bardee do not seek recognition for what they do. Their reward is the look in the young children’s faces when they open their presents. Giving can be a beautiful thing. Just ask Sally and Bardee.

New and Expanded Port O’ Call by Micah Winecoff, Port O’Call Manager

As many of you may have noticed, Port O’ Call Patio received a makeover this summer! A new deck has been installed with a beautiful railing, bar stools overlooking the Marina, new tables and umbrellas have replaced the old ones along with more comfortable chairs. To go with these cosmetic changes, I would like to announce exciting new changes to the services offered as well (Joan the Shopper and Terry Baxter each graciously discussed Port O’Call changes in recent articles here in the Ocean Reef Press). Among these changes we are increasing delivery capa-

bility, offering new “By the Glass” service, and expanding store hours so Port O’ Call will now close at 8 p.m.Tuesday through Saturday. Welcome Wyatt To facilitate the addition of these services the Port O’ Call staff has officially doubled in size with the addition of Wyatt Hosmer, creating an efficient team of two. Many of you may recognize Wyatt from our Recreation department. This summer we were searching far and wide for an enthusiastic employee to bring in, then realized we had Wyatt right under our nose, eager to take on new challenges and learn about the world of wine and spirits. With his track record of providing excellent service to our Members while in the Recreation department it was a no brainer to welcome him to the Food and Beverage team where he will assist in making this another fantastic season at Port O’ Call Wine & Spirits. The addition of Wyatt also means deliveries will be easier and more convenient than ever to make. At the end of the day, you the Members are why we are here, and it is our mission to provide the best service possible.

By the Glass Right now you may be thinking “did he say something about “By the Glass” service? I want to hear more about that.” Yes, you read correctly. This season we will be launching “By the Glass” options at Port O’ Call. The initial plan is to offer 2-3 white and 2-3 red wines by the glass every day with menu options that will change weekly. This is a project I am extremely excited about as this gives me an opportunity to offer great new wines to you, the Members, and take advantage of close out deals to offer some exceptional values. I will keep a selection that will feature a mix of everyday staples like the Ocean Reef brand wines along with some esoteric choices for those of you that are feeling adventurous and want to try something new. There will be a chalk board located outside of the store displaying the glasses du jour. Upon purchasing a glass of wine you will also receive a Govino glass that is yours to keep. If you have an afternoon of shopping planned in the Fishing Village you can make Port O’ Call your first stop and take your glass of wine with you as you explore

the other shops in the Village… or feel free to relax on the new patio and enjoy the view of the Marina. With all this very exciting news there is no doubt this will be the best season at Port O’ Call yet. Don’t forget to keep your eye out for our regularly scheduled wine and spirit tastings as well. These have been gaining in popularity through the years and are always a great opportunity to sample new products, revisit old favorites and purchase wine and spirits with an additional discount exclusive to these tastings. I look forward to seeing you and chatting about your beverage of choice in the near future. Wines of Italy – Dec. 3 Port O’ Call is happy to announce that Saturday, December 3 we will be offering an Italian Wine Tasting in the Port O’ Call Patio from 4 to 6 p.m. We will be featuring a variety of sparkling, white, and red wines from Italy with bottles available for purchase on the spot at discounted prices. No RSVP necessary so feel free to come by at your leisure and enjoy a taste of Italy. Cheers!

Welcome to Clubhouse Prime! by Philippe Babin and Mark Ray

If you’ve peeked into the Clubhouse dining room lately on your way to make a tee time at the Golf Shop, or perhaps while having an after-golf lunch downstairs at the 19th Hole, you can tell that we’ve been busily working towards our opening! Our opening night this season took place on November 15th with a new team that’s ready to serve. The sights of crisp white linen, polished glass and silver truly set the stage for what promises to be a fantastic season, and we wanted to invite you all!

The grass-fed skirt steak with Chimichurri has already become a new menu favorite.

then you’re truly missing the most sophisticated cuisine and service on property. Chef Luis Portocarrero opened the Burgee Bar two seasons ago and helped turn the perception of food quality around at that venue. At the Clubhouse, he’ll be able to use skills garnered from earlier postings at the Riviera Country Club and other upscale venues. This season, Luis’s menu features both longstanding member favorites, such as Yellowtail Classic and a wonderful Caesar Salad, as well as a unique Duck Confit Wellington and Braised Oxtail Sachetti with perigord truffle. Of course, the centerpiece of the menu is the hand selected choice of steaks and chops, cooked to perfection

Steaks and Chops

This season, we’ve rebranded the Clubhouse to “Clubhouse Prime”, highlighting the steaks and chops found only here at the Clubhouse. If you haven’t sampled these fantastic meats,

KESSLER FITNESS, PILATES AND KAFE Kessler Fitness A boutique personal training and classical Pilates studio. One on one with experienced instructors. Free weights, strength machines, TRX, full cardio equipment, stretching and balance equipment, and more. Kessler Fitness is located on the third floor of the Plaza building.

Kessler Kafe Monday - Friday, 7:30 - 3:00, Saturdays 8:00 - 11:30. Featuring a wide variety of freshly prepared breakfast and lunch items as well as a full gourmet coffee bar. Daily specials! Also featuring freshly prepared healthy, portioned, and delicious dinners (including Paleo meals) delivered daily to your door. (Please ask for our menu).

on our 1800 degree Montague broiler. And don’t forget our signature Vine to Table dinners, held throughout the season. This series of dinners continue to be unique, intimate events, which pair renowned Chefs and Winemakers for memorable nights of food and drink. Though many are at capacity, there is limited availability for some select seats at these dinners, so please call Dining Reservations for more details. Serving You This Season

Serving you in the front of the house, Mark Ray returns to the Clubhouse for his 6th season, and 4th as manager. Though Mark spends his summers assisting in the other outlets, it’s the intimacy and finer aspects of the service at the Clubhouse that keeps Mark returning to the Clubhouse. Mark says that the “personalized service that are the hallmarks of the Clubhouse make dining here special. On our best nights, the service is like a perfectly timed ballet.” New this season to the Club-

house is our own Clubhouse Maitre’d, Philippe Babin. Originally from the South of France, Philippe studied hospitality in Switzerland before coming to the US in 1996, recruited to open the Mezzaluna Restaurant in South Beach. After several successful years there, Philippe helmed several other restaurants, before following his passion for service into the Club industry at the Ocean Club on Key Biscayne. Philippe was the Food & Beverage Manager there, learning what makes life in Clubs so special. Philippe joined Ocean Reef Club in 2015, taking over the Islander Restaurant, where he’ll be missed by both his team there and our members. Philippe brings a passion for service, learned at an early age. When asked about what has made him successful for so long in the industry, Philippe explains that it’s his “joie de vivre”, or joy of life, that he gets from seeing people happy, and is looking forward to serving our members in the Clubhouse and making special memories. We hope you’ll join us soon at Clubhouse Prime!

crystals, vintage glass beads, Japanese seed beads and other vintage findings to create her works of art. Susan says she lets the beads dictate the design for a more organic composition and that texture and shape are as important as structure and color. She likes to experiment to create pieces that are different, exciting as well as beautiful. We are excited to host her for the first time at The Spa and hope that you can come by and check out her one of a kind jewelry designs.

I am happy to announce Susan Kilcoyne will be joining The Spa for a trunk show on Friday and Saturday to showcase her unique jewelry. Susan is based out of Miami and uses simple tools such as needle, thread, wire, suede, leather, semi-precious gems, pearls, Swarovski

Golf Fitness “Golf Tip” by Brian Varsey, Head Teaching Professional

Our bodies’ ability to support itself and create motion is important for golf. Lack of mobility or stability makes it difficult to play to our true potential. When your body is in good physical condition it can perform without pain. Golf often gets blamed for being the cause of pain when the truth is that if your body is in good condition then physical activity will not cause injuries. Wednesday from 7:30-8:30 a.m. in the Fitness Center I will be conducting Golf Fitness classes. You’ll learn levels of exercises to strengthen your core, increase mobility, stability, balance and endurance to allow you to enjoy golfing even more. You’ll learn how to get your body to perform at a higher level, both on the golf course and in everyday life. Call the Fitness Center to sign-up, 305-367-5820.

Paint it Black “Croquet News” by Ron Sekura

At our first annual Black Friday on the croquet lawns some of us were looking over our shoulders in fear that the people in white would be coming to enforce USCA rules. The fear hovering among our faithful players, this Black Friday was that we would be charged with “Mallet Practice” for violating the staid rule for white garb on the croquet lawns. Instead our strikers opted to turn in a different direction from the minions bursting through the gates of the shopping malls, and celebrate our Black Friday by playing croquet while garbed in black attire. We were able to put fear aside by playing a modified form of the golf croquet from what we normally play The rules were essentially as we

always play, but adopted a takeoff from the Gregory Patrick rules described in last weeks Croquet Column. Several wickets were protected by obstacles (empty cups, soda and beer cans.) These were placed strategically so as to impair the approach to the wicket. And, if a striker’s ball would cause one of these obstacles to be hit, all balls would return to their original position and the player would loose her turn. This made for some challenging play. One example that happened: It was the yellow ball captured in jaws. (That is part way through

the wicket but not enough to score.) The opponents blue and black were in front of the wicket and blue was able to push black behind the wicket. Red who plays next was in no position to help yellow. Black then took the opportunity to destroy yellows chance to score by pushing yellow out the front side of the wicket. A wonderful play when executed under normal play embodying the some of logic of billiards. But not on Black Friday. Black pushed yellow out of the wicket with such force that one of the obstacles was knocked

over. And after everything was returned to its original position yellow went on for an easy score. Everyone enjoyed the challenge that the rule change made and agreed that we should do it again. The challenge was not nearly as great as one would have suffered at The Falls. Put Black Friday 2017 croquet on your calendar. Invitation to Croquet Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m.

Reel Life by Sarah Hoog, Orvis Manager

Family Fishing

With Thanksgiving behind us it’s time to look ahead to the Christmas Holiday and the fishing options available to you from the Charter Docks in the Fishing Village. Many plan to fish with families & childern, and Reef fishing continues to be the most popular type of fishing utilized the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. Reef Fishing is great for the little ones, think steady action

with smaller fish that don’t pose too much of a fight. Typical catches can include Hogfish, Mutton or Yellowtail Snapper, Porgies, Barracuda and many other reef dwelling species. Our boats can take up to 6 passengers and we offer both half and full day options. This season you’ll find Captain Ryan Kickel returning aboard Mr. Nice II and a new face aboard Reef Reelief; Captain Woody Boyle. The Big Ones

If you’re looking for the big guys; sailfish, dolphin, kingfish and tuna, you’ll want to book an offshore trip. These are available in full, ¾ and half day trips and can also accommodate up to 6 passengers. Familiar faces will greet you on the docks, Captain Frank Navarro on Mr. Nice, Captain Dana Banks

releasing a good number of them in the ocean fed creeks to the North of the Club. There have been some bonefish cruising the flats in Biscayne Bay, and Captain Nick Varnberg released two on fly with Member Bob Maricich on the Oceanside flats. And you can always do some creek fishing for snapper and grouper, and you may see the occasional resident Tarpon may cruise by. For those of you who participate in our fishing and shooting lessons or schools, those will begin in early January. Truel Myers will be returning for another season and will be available for lessons after January 5th. With all the fun things to do through Orvis I’m sure we’ll be seeing many of you over the coming weeks!

on War Bird & Captain Richard Hoog on Good Life. The sailfishing was off to a great start, slowed down a bit last week, but seems to be ramping up again. Dolphin have been around in good numbers on the edge and the Wahoo bite has been very good on the moon. We’ve also been seeing good Yellowtail Snapper catches on the edges of the reefs, these are a great eating fish and if you’re interested in taking some meat home this can be a fun alternative to dolphin fishing. Go Low

Captains Darrick Parker, Dave Wyss, James Koch, Jack McCoy & Nick Varnberg are all returning for another season on the flats dock. Snook seem to be the name of the game right now. Our guides have been

Why Play Bridge? With so many activities competing for your leisure time, why invest your energy into learning a game as complex as bridge? Why bridge instead of computer games, poker, chess, golf? If you’re wondering if bridge is for you – or if you’ve always wanted to learn but have been afraid it’s too difficult – here are some of the reasons why millions of people around the world are hooked on this fascinating game. Bridge can be a lifelong pursuit. It takes only rudimentary knowledge to begin playing and enjoying bridge, but as any player will tell you, this is not a game for those who demand instant gratification. Learning to play well takes time and effort, and the game is impossible to master. But that’s precisely why bridge is so popular, and why it’s called “the game for a lifetime”. No matter how many years you play, you’ll always find new challenges, and the learning process will never end. Bridge also

caters to all physical conditions and disabilities, so players can actively pursue their pastime throughout their entire lives. Bridge will never bore you.  The game can be exciting, challenging, frustrating and humbling, but it will never be boring. There are more than 750 trillion possible hands, so you’ll see something new every time you play. It’s actually a fast-paced game, too. Each hand takes just five to ten minutes to play before you move on to the next deal and a new challenge. Bridge stimulates the brain.  Bridge is one of the best ways to practice the "use it or lose it" advice for maintaining mental sharpness in older age. Research has shown that regular bridge playing improves reasoning skills and long- and short-term memory. You›ll feel the neurons firing not only while you play, but long after. Many players say that hours after a bridge game, they still feel mentally alert and energized, similar to the "high" that long-distance runners experience after a race. Bridge exercises both sides of your brain. Bridge is one of the few games that stimulates both the

left and right sides of your brain. Every time you play, you use -- and improve -- your skills in communication, logic, math, memory, visualization and psychology. It’s a unique type of mental workout that is both relaxing and invigorating, and that can’t be duplicated by other leisure or work-related activities. Bridge can improve your physical health.  Research has shown that a game of bridge can even boost your immune system. By stimulating the brain cortex, bridge-playing activity produces higher numbers of the white blood cells that fight disease. Other studies have found that people who play bridge regularly are 2½ times less likely to develop Alzheimer›s disease. Bridge is social. A game of bridge involves communication and cooperation with your partner and interaction with your opponents. There’s a special camaraderie among bridge players that develops from the social setting and the game’s emphasis on teamwork, ethics and sportsmanship. And if you play duplicate bridge, you can find new friends and partners at more than 3300 bridge clubs throughout

North America. Bridge is a bargain.  All you need for a bridge game is a deck of cards and three other people. You dont have to leave your home, and if you have a computer, you don't even need the cards or the people. You can play and practice on your own with bridge software, or you can join in live games with thousands of players from around the world at one of the free online bridge clubs. You can also enter games at your local duplicate club, where you'll enjoy a three-hour session of bridge for less than the cost of a movie. Bridge is fun. Of all the reasons to learn the game, the most important is that it’s just fun to play. It offers the suspense of poker, the cerebral qualities of chess and the excitement of athletic sports, all in a sociable setting where you’re a participant, not just a spectator. Every session allows you to test yourself and experience the feeling of accomplishment when you find a successful bid or play. That’s what keeps people coming back to the bridge table, and it’s why bridge will always be the world’s most popular card game.

Tuesday, Dec. 13, 5 p.m. Vinyasa & Vino with Kimberly Steele

“Fitness Focus” by Luis Bracamonte, Member Fitness Center Manager

Nathalia Cora, born in Venezuela of Spaniard parents, is a fitness instructor specializing in Zumba, SilverSneakers, Silver & Fit, Enhance Fitness, BodyPump, and Cycling. She came to the USA as an international student and graduated with an AS degree in Advertising & Marketing, and a double major Bachelor in Business Administration & International Business. While studying, she fell in love with the American culture and its people, and built her life here. After graduating, her biggest milestone “Motherhood” was achieved. In her own words, “Dancing and Fitness organically followed” turning what had always been her passion into a growing professional career. For the last eight years, she has worked as a specialized instructor (in both, for profit and non-profit organizations), and her dedication and talent landed her into the Media world as a regular talent/expert/guest for important TV and radio shows (Univision, Telemundo, NBC, Canal Azteca) and special presentations including the nationally recognized Let’s Move campaign. Nathalia loves sharing her passion, as she believes dancing and exercising are inevitably the way to keep your heart, mind, and spirit healthy and happy.

the Pritikin Longevity Center in Doral, FL will lecture on common causes of lower back and neck pain.  He will demonstrate how your posture may even contribute to shoulder issues as well.  These lower back and shoulder issues can not only interfere with your daily activities in your home, but also with your ability to play your favorite sports.  The lecture will explain why it is important to do appropriate targeted exercises to minimize common injuries from these activities.  As we age, we become more vulnerable for common orthopedic injuries.  Therefore, it is important to choose exercises that will prolong our joints and spine’s longevity. Often it is not always appropriate for every individual to do the exact same exercise because we all tend to have different individual structural contributions and past orthopedic injuries/histories.    This lecture will review common lower back pathologies as well as ways to manage these particularly with proper exercise choices.  Additionally, adjunctive therapies for low back and neck pain such as physical therapy services can often be helpful at managing these complaints and will be summarized and introduced.  A discussion will include the importance of proper lower extremity flexibility and core stabilization exercises.  Being cognitively aware of common aging principles of the spine is

the first step at managing and preventing pain, which often leads to unnecessary surgeries and medications.  Just like we purposely eat appropriate foods, for good cardiovascular health, we can also employ appropriate exercise options to promote good spinal health. Balance Strategies for Fall Prevention with Kristine Ingold

Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. In biomechanics, balance is an ability to maintain the line of gravity of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. We all can improve our balance through physical fitness and proper exercise. Join us for this informative and beneficial workshop which focuses on safety and mobility for understanding balance strategies for fall prevention.

Journey Back by Lesley Kirschner Eckhardt

It was the return of yesteryear as we gathered with family in this beloved place called Ocean Reef. With a festive weekend of Thanksgiving and flashbacks into the past, it was a time to reminisce of our humble beginnings, celebrating both family and community. Card Sound Sailing Club is very much a part of the history and community of the Ocean Reef Club. Organized in 1967 by Phil Connors, Nelson Jeffress, and a group of fellow sailors, sailing has since been a mainstay of recreation and friendly competitive racing for

almost fifty years. With the acquisition of a Bullseye fleet in 1973, the timeless appeal of both vessel and sport has been carried on though the generations, and our weekly races are quick to take us back to the nostalgia of wind powered vessels traversing beautiful bodies of water in the glistening sun and warm breezes. Whether for fun or sport, sailing is almost always rewarding. For some, the reward is mastering the skills and tactics necessary to finish in the lead, while for others it is the ability to make it across the racecourse without incident of fouling fellow competitors or fouling our lines. Either way, there is always a sense of accomplishment.

22nd Annual Vintage Weekend A Wild Success

Vintage Weekend brings together connoisseurs and owners of the most elegant conveyances, converging via the Club’s roadways, private airstrip and marina. This past weekend marked the twenty-second year for the Club’s beloved tradition and exemplified the 1994 mission which was to appreciate, preserve, share, and yes, have a little bit of fun on this first weekend in December. Mission accomplished.

The Christen Eagle shows its colors in the aerobatic show.

Year of the Cat

For people who are passionate about fine automobiles, the event attracts winners from the world’s most prestigious car shows and events. Most impressive on the Ocean Reef Concours was the 1955 Jaguar D-Type Open Racer, winning at Le Mans in the ‘50’s, and winning Best of Show this past weekend at Ocean Reef. The collection of Bentley and Rolls Royce models were stand outs on the red carpet, with the 1929 4 1.2 Liter Touring Bentley being recognized as the Judge’s Choice and the 1914 Rolls Royce Alpine Eagle as the Most Important Historically. It wasn’t all so serious as Janis Joplin’s Porsche rocked the red carpet and a pair of Fiat Jolly’s went head to head.

This 1953 Bentley Convertible R Type carried precious cargo to Alabama Jack’s, Frank Ricciardelli’s 2-year old grandson Dario.

Need ideas for Holiday Shopping? Your fellow Members are here to help! There’s a guide to your favorite Fishing Village shops – all filled to the brim (pg. 19), suggestions for creating family memories at the Club (pg. 22) and even apps that simplify it all (pg. 29). If that isn’t enough, you can always purchase an Ocean Reef Gift Card and let them choose!

To All Club Members: The 22nd edition of Vintage Weekend has come and gone and this year’s was just as unique in its own way as last year’s wet wipeout. This is the first year in which all three venues-boats, cars and planes were equally spectacular. And the luncheon Airshow was the best ever….We have come a long way from the times when we rolled the planes down the road and put them on display in the parking lot at the marina! Vintage Weekend is fun, exciting and brings many new faces to our Club, but also asks a lot of our members who have to give up boat slips, airport landings, parking ofpaces, and suffer restaurant congestion, fumes and noise. The goal behind it all is to show off our Club’s unique facilities, but the Vintage Weekend Committee is always aware of what an inconvenience the event is for our members… We are fairly certain that this is

Many of you have asked, “What do I need to do to get my high speed internet and X1 Xfinity TV package choice installed?” The answer is that you will be contacted to set up an appointment for Comcast to come to your residence (Home, Condo, Boat). Over the next few months as the fiber optic network is brought through the community, members will be advised by mail and email when their street or dock is scheduled for installation. The mailing is from Comcast and the email is from “F2H ORCA”. This communication will advise residents, in the order of the areas that have the fiber completely in place, to call a dedicated 800 telephone number. On this call you will set an appointment for the

the only place on the planet (as Ron likes to say) where we can exhibit aircraft, cars and boats together in the same venue and that makes us very special. It is also the only place that has the expertise and training to  put on an operation this big. Virtually every department of the Club and Public Safety gets involved and this year everyone did an exemplary job. Thank you all for your hard work and good cheer throughout.   For 22 years Vintage Weekend has had a policy of not permitting any commercial sponsorship, advertising or fundraising for any non-profit. Our mission is simply to get people who admire exquisite craftsmanship and mechanical ingenuity and value history together to have a good time. Visitors find this refreshing and pretty unique too.  This year, word from new visitors (amazingly almost one third the attendees) was that they had never been to a place as friendly and welcoming at Ocean Reef Club. Thank you to all of you for making our Club this way and for making Ocean Reef a place we love to share and show off. The Committee: Ron Elenbaas, Vicki Goldstein, and Lenny Sikora.

Comcast Tech team to install the new internet modem and the X1 Xfinity equipment (if they chose that option). Note: Someone over 18 must be at the residence to admit the Comcast personnel, sign the forms to acknowledge the equipment / services delivered and stay in the home during the installation process.  Here are the streets scheduled through January 15: Cinnamon Bark, Bayberry, South Bridge, Harbor Island, Baker, South Harbor, Mahogany Lane, Tamarind Lane, Coral  Lane, Thatch Palm Way, Marlin Lane, Snapper Lane, Pumpkin Cay Rd, The Landings, Creek House, Angelfish Cay 43 to 79.  If you have any questions about your order, schedule, or billing, please visit the Comcast showroom in the 121 Marina sales office across from Town Hall. The office is open on Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1 – 3 p.m.

Thank you to the Sponsors of Dennis DeYoung: The Music of STYX Julie Dey (ORCRE), Andy Hofman (ORCRE), Becky Dickenson, Jeanie Castellanos (ORCRE), Bill Dickenson (President ORCRE), Jimmy Leahey, Dennis DeYoung, and Suzanne DeYoung.

Here at The Cultural Center we started our season off with Dennis DeYoung and the music of STYX. For those of you who joined us for the show it was as if we had been transported back to the 1970s and early 80s. With a song list that included hits like Mr. Roboto, Babe and of course, Come Sail Away, it was clear that Dennis DeYoung is better than ever. He truly is the voice of STYX that we all remember. This incredible show was sponsored by: Ocean Reef Club Real Estate Company The Metropolitan Opera

Saturday, December 10th at 12:55PM we will have a Met Live presentation of L’Amour De Loin. Kaija Saariaho’s breakthrough opera finally has its Metropolitan Opera premiere in a dazzling new production by Robert Lepage, featuring glimmering ribbons of LED lights that extend across the length of the stage and over the orchestra pit. Eric Owens is the knight on a quest of love and Susanna Phillips is his lover on the other side of the sea. Conductor Susanna Mälkki makes her Met debut.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the door. National Theatre Live

Thursday, December 15th at 2:00PM join us for a live broadcast of No Man’s Land. Following their hit run on Broadway, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart return to the West End stage in Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land, broadcast live to cinemas from Wyndham’s Theatre, London. One summer’s evening, two ageing writers, Hirst and Spooner, meet in a Hampstead pub and continue their drinking into the night at Hirst’s stately house nearby.  As the pair become increasingly inebriated, and their stories increasingly unbelievable, the lively conversation soon turns into a revealing power game, further complicated by the return home of two sinister younger men. Also starring Owen Teale and Damien Molony, don’t miss this glorious revival of Pinter’s comic classic. The broadcast will be followed by an exclusive Q&A with the cast and director Sean Mathias. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the door.

Haiti Disaster Relief Effort Update by Yurianna Mikolay Executive Director Ocean Reef Community Foundation

Last week marked two months since the Foundation partnered with Ocean Reef Club for a timely and efficient response to the havoc wreaked on southwestern Haiti by Hurricane Matthew on October 4th. The Haiti Disaster Relief Fund created after the earthquake in 2010 was rebooted and within the week the Club sent an appeal to the membership to respond to the crisis the storm created for Haitian-American employees’ families.

feedback of dozens of experts and organizations well versed in both the specifics of Haiti and international disaster relief. All, the Foundation included, are very conscious of Haiti’s already tenuous state and avoiding pitfalls realized in the wake of the earthquake. A key concern of both South Florida and Haitian leaders and related charities has been to encourage giving cash over supplies. While well meaning, we know now that the containers of donated goods that flooded the country after the earthquake played a major role in devastating the Haitian economy. Those in the know had an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the Club’s strategy of distributing the non-tax deductible funds they collected to employees to give directly to help their families, who are now in turn spending locally to meet their needs and contributing to the health of the economy. While the majority of the tax-deductible donations made through the Foundation went to address the tremendous needs as prioritized by the United Nations Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, we were also particularly pleased to send aid to rarely reached rural areas and islands where the Club identified the three highest concentrations of employee families. Through

our grant to Operation USA to distribute supplies procured in Haiti to Pestel, Nippes and Los Cayemites, the families of 78 of the 140 employees who requested help received assistance along with hundreds of their neighbors. According to Operation USA Haiti Director Steeve Texas, a native of Haiti who led the effort personally, “These communities took a very hard hit from the storm and their road to recovery is a tough one. The families were very grateful to receive the supplies and it meant a lot to everyone to know that the Ocean Reef community sincerely cares.” While our collaboration has undoubtedly helped tens of thousands avoid cholera and starvation in the near term, Haiti’s road to recovery has just begun yet has all but disappeared from the news. With the vast majority of crops and livestock wiped out in the largely agricultural affected region, experts are predicting famine in the coming months. As we continue to monitor the situation, sustainable agriculture and rebuilding infrastructure projects will likely to be the focus of our remaining grants.

The Haitian Community Thanks Club Members Dear Ocean Reef Club Members, One of the greatest book ever written wrote: “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving!” Acts 20:35 You had shown towards us great appreciation, loving kindness and tremendous greatness of heart and for those reasons, we all, the Haitian Community at Ocean Reef Club, would like to say: “THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!” Sincerely, we couldn’t express our sorrow, our sadness and our pain when HURRICANE MATTHEW blasted our land. We were kind of hopeless, disoriented not knowing what to do in order to help our loved ones to cope with their losses! Houses, family members, cattle, trees our source of living were gone. The only thing we thought

we could do was praying then, you came along with this humongous heart of yours and next things we know, funds were collected! Not only that you had sent food, clothing and money to Haiti to help our people, but you made sure that you handed us something directly so we can send to our loving parents. Words are not sufficed to express to you our gratitude and our gratefulness! Unfortunately, we don’t really have anything to give to you in order to repay for what you have done for us and for our family! But we can assure you that we will be more devoted and more dedicated to the club and to the work that is assigned to us. May our words translate our appreciation, our gratitude and the love that we have for you all. We look forward to work for YOU for many more years! Our goal is and will remain the same: “please every single one of you in every way possible!” Once again, THANK YOU! Warm Regards, Francois Louis-Jean and Darlande Theodore, Haitian Representatives

Loose, a 1974 75’ Burger had two distinctions this year; Loose attended the very first Vintage Weekend and almost didn’t make it this year. Awarded the “Oh Shed” award (new for 2016!) depicted by a devastating photo of her shed-beaten bow as a result of Hurricane Matthew. Truly a wonder that she made it less than two months, and twenty-two years later. Repairs, renovations and even renovations in progress were honored. It’s a Bird...

For aviation enthusiasts, there is always an impressive collection of meticulously restored, working aircraft to round out the selection of exhibits. Hundreds gathered on the beach and the

tarmac to enjoy the range of aircraft. They really showed their aerobatic muscle above Buccaneer Island on Saturday and wow’ed spectators with a performance that will be hard to beat. The nearly 45-minute show was punctuated by Gene McNeely piloting his 1950 NA T-6G. A war veteran, the 1942 C-47 Placid Lassie was used in D-Day, Battle of the Bulge and Operation Market Garden and recognized as Best of Show. The Mohawk on display and in the air featured the names of 1,636 troops still MIA in Vietnam. Pilot Joe Massessa has since put flags next to 10 of the names honoring those that have been recovered. See page 4-5 for photos and the full listing of Award Winning automobiles, yachts and aircraft. A video highlighting the weekend of fun can be viewed at oceanreef.com/vintageweekend.

N EW S FROM THE MED IC A L C ENT ER

It’s Not Just the Holiday Season It’s that time of year: house -guests, parties, overindulging and the FLU. One of the reasons it’s so important to get your flu vaccine early is the timing of the antibodies created. It takes about two weeks for these antibodies to provide protection against infection. Each year different strains of flu evolve and for the 2016-2017 flu season the CDC is recommending injectable vaccines; including inactivated and recombinant influenza vaccines. The nasal flu vaccine (which is a live attenuated influenza vaccine) should not be used this flu season. Currently the Medical Center stocks Fluarix, which is a quadrivalent (4 strain), preservative free vaccine and Fluzone, the highdose vaccine for those patients over

65. Both of these offer significantly stronger protection from the seasonal flu virus compared to the standard trivalent (3 strain) vaccination. Why am I getting “egg-allergy” information sheets?

Before receiving your injection a nurse will have you read and sign an information sheet concerning egg allergies. Most flu vaccines contain a small amount of egg protein called ovalbumin. If you are able to eat lightly cooked eggs without reaction, it’s unlikely that you’re allergic to eggs. This flu season (since October 1) the Medical Center has given over 400 flu injections to their patients. Don’t risk having your Holidays spoiled, getting the flu is debilitating and can cause serious complications. Calendar reminders: December 15th is the next Parkinson’s support group meeting.

Zika Exposure in the Upper Keys The reporting of Zika monitoring in the Miami-Dade area has prompted questions within the Ocean Reef Community. The Medical Center’s physicians and executive leaders are knowledgeable about the latest information concerning Zika. Our physicians have studied the information from the Monroe County Health Department (which is updated daily) and as of December 1st there are no active pending cases in Monroe County and one pending active case in Dade County. Tracking for Florida-wide cases has a reported 9 cases in total of “travel-related” Zika cases for Monroe County. None are active, meaning 45 days has passed.

Center will continue to work with local health authorities to monitor risk year -round and provide information to our community when indicated. Fortunately in 2016 Monroe County was essentially spared from known local human Zika virus transmission. Now that we are entering a time of year with cooler drier weather, which results in low and declining mosquito populations and activity, we are not expecting Zika virus to be a local concern over the next several months.” In the recent past Miami -Dade had reports of, travel-related, positive Zika virus testing. Pregnant women and women considering becoming pregnant should exercise common-sense precautions in the South Miami Beach and North Miami areas.

Michael “Jim” Delligatti

Michael “Jim” Delligatti, inventor of the iconic Big Mac sandwich, passed November 28 surrounded by his family in Pittsburgh. He was 98 years old. Jim combined two all-beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and most importantly, the “secret sauce,” to create one of the world’s best known hamburgers. He first introduced the seven-ingredient sandwich at his Uniontown restaurant in 1967. Today the Big Mac is sold in more than 100 countries around the world and has become the most popular sandwich on the planet. One of the Golden Arches’ first franchisees, Jim opened his first McDonald’s restaurant on McKnight Road in 1957. He went on to own and operate 47 additional locations in western Pennsylvania, making him one of the single largest franchise holders in the company’s history.

A true innovator for the industry, Jim was instrumental in introducing breakfast service at McDonald’s. He developed the Hotcakes and Sausage meal to feed hungry steel workers on their way home from overnight shifts in the mills. Jim was also the beloved patriarch of M&J Management, a four-generation family business and McDonald’s franchise organization for more than 60 years. Jim was known for being a spirited and generous philanthropist. In 1979, he co-founded Pittsburgh’s Ronald McDonald House, a refuge for families who travel to Pittsburgh seeking life-saving medical care for their sick children at the region’s renowned hospitals. He continued to serve on the charity’s board and contribute to the House for several decades. He was also a strong supporter of Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, Junior Achievement of Southwestern PA, the Cystic fibrosis Foundation, Boy Scouts of America and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Jim served as Sergeant, Army Yankee Division in the European theater during World War II. He is survived by his loving wife Ellie Delligatti; sons James (Lois) and Michael (Twilley); grandchildren Daniel (Michelle), Anthony (Kari),Todd (Susan), James, Christian; and great-grandchildren Danielle, Nicholas, Alexis, Haley, Steven, Benjamin, Jack, Christopher.

Through the generosity of so many by donations and volunteering, it offers a wide array of stimulating hours with complementary and subscription series and facilities. LIBRARY

During the season it is open Monday through Friday 10 – 3 and contains over 13,000 books including all the best sellers whether fiction or nonfiction. There are LARGE PRINT, books on tape, DVD’s, magazines and a children’s corner. There is never an excuse to not have a good book to read.

This newly updated space chronicles the history of Ocean Reef, a must see for member and visitor alike. The Baker Yachtel in the corner of the property as renovated by the Questers Choose and Cherish chapter, adds insight to the Yachtsman’s life in the late 40’s and 50’s. CAMPUS AT THE CULTURAL CENTER

J O A N THE SHOPPER

Santa’s Shopping Bag

favorite toddler. Small sizes are a new thing at the Golf Shop and it is a delight to see “Onesies” sporting the OR burgee. Also at the Golf Shop – a bright GREEN “backpackable” rain jacket from Zero ($209).... The Tennis Center has a terrific pair of RED men’s sneakers from Fila ($125).

Discover the Holiday Spirit at Ocean Reef’s Stores Amaryllis (Gift Shop)

by Joan Birsh

Ocean Reef now has so many interesting stores, that you can do all your holiday shopping without exiting the Front Gate. Featured here are a few suggestions for gifts for family, friends and the all important YOU.

blossoms into a lovely red flower in time to decorate your holiday table. The box contains the bulb, the grow pot and instructions. It is topped with a quite acceptable artificial Amaryllis, a balm for the impatient (like me).… You don’t have to wait to enjoy the red flower ensconced in the EMILIO ROBBA HEAVY GLASS BOWL (sold at the Gift Shop $128).

Have a Ball….Decorate your tree with the OR ornament from the Signature Shop. It is pale blue with

Champagne (Gift Shop open until 10)

Vines lounge pants ($68), which are dotted with small champagne bottles... It’s the perfect time to open a bottle of bubbly. One problem. You are out of champagne and it is 9 pm. The Gift Shop to the rescue. The store’s new policy is to remain open until 10 p.m. and to sell beer, wine and champagne. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year….Here is one selection for “what to wear” for

Christmas Colors… It’s not like Saint Patrick’s Day where green is almost de rigueur. Still and all wearing RED and/or GREEN to holiday Ornament (Signature Shop)

O Christmas Tree et al….You don’t have to be apologetic about wanting a LIVE TREE . You can

an aquatic background and “Ocean Reef” spelled out clearly ($14). Other Hang-Ups that caught my eye: a ceramic sailfish from Dockside Mart; a Tucan perched on a Xmas tree from Tommy Bahama. Also from Tommy an amusing Snow Globe that shows a Surf Shop with an evergreen replacing a surf board on the roof an old station wagon ($38). New Year’s Dress (Lilly Pulitzer)

New Year’s Eve. At Lilly Pulitzer there is a delicious Chai Caftan in green with a tasteful front panel of ornamental beading ($238). Keep in mind that is only one choice and Ocean Reef stores offers you many more. So start 2017 by buying something new and beautiful. Remember my Joan the Shopper motto – Gilt Without Guilt.

Red Wool Sweater (Orvis) Live Trees (Wynns and r.f.)

order one any size from Wynn’s (which is a veritable Christmas Store this time of year)…. And then there’s R.F. Orchids and Flowers. Not only will this Fishing Village store sell you a tree (live or artificial), they will deliver it to your house and set it up with your choice of lights. R.F. is also the source of that ubiquitous Xmas plant the POINSETTIA. which serves not only as a great decoration but also as a perfect gift. Our neighbor Emily Weirda sends us one each December. It lasts until we go north in May. At the Gift Shop you can buy another present guaranteed to keep on growing. That would be a DUTCH AMARYLLIS ($48), which arrives as a bulb and

occasions is a nice way to get into the Christmas spirit. Maybe that was my excuse for buying myself the ¾ length, lightweight Red wool cardigan at Orvis ($98). If they don’t have your size (they didn’t have mine), they will order it.) At the Golf Shop I found an adorable red hoodie ($42) for my

Green Windbreaker (Golf Shop)

Festive Top (j McLaughlin)

At J. McLaughlin there is a perfect holiday top in their magic super soft fabric. Gold, green and red ornaments enliven a black background ($165). Twas the Night Before Christmas….The stockings (bright red J.McLaughlin unisex socks embellished with Santa’s hat) have been hung somewhere. (Not to worry if you don’t have a chimney).

Port O’Call Wine Tasting

more that these two nations have to offer our palate. Spain

Thursday, Dec. 15

by Micah Winecoff, Port O’Call Manager

Iberian Peninsula

Spain and Portugal both share a rich and diverse history in gastronomy and wine. From 5:00 to 7:00 on Thursday, December 15th Port O’ Call will be offering a tour of the Iberian Peninsula via the wines they produce, highlighting the diversity of grape and terroir. Many people automatically think of red Rioja wines and Sherry when it comes to Spanish wines and Port from Portugal, but there is so much

While the tempranillo-based red wines from Rioja are still Spain’s trademark for still wine production, there are many up and coming areas. Castilla y Leon is the largest wine producing autonomía in the world and is home to many of Spain’s best value wines produced from Tempranillo (known here variously as Tinta de Toro, Tinto Fino, Tinta del Pais…and about 100 other names), garnacha (grenache) and mencia for reds; verdejo and sauvignon blanc for whites. Mencia has been a rising star from the Bierzo DO, winning fans all over the world with the generous fruit and earth flavors along with refreshing mouthfeel. The Rueda DO specializes in bright, racy verdejo and sauvignon blanc that show riper fruit and less pungent characteristics than its New Zealand counterparts.

MONROE COUNTY’S NEW & ONLY AUTHORIZED

E-Z-GO® GOLF CART DEALER

If white wine is what you are looking for, try Albarino from Rias Baixas. Many of these vineyards are planted so close to the Atlantic Ocean that the wines actually take on a saline character that accentuates the ripe tropical fruit flavors commonly associated with Albarino. While certainly nothing new, Fino Sherry has been on the rise and is once again becoming a popular aperitif. Made from the neutral palomino grape, Fino Sherry gains its unique flavor from the solera aging process and flor (yeast that ages the wine without the presence of oxygen). Portugal

Most associate Portugal with the rich fortified Port wines that have been consumed for centuries. Historically, these wines traveled well in the absence of modern refrigeration technology so were a natural choice for shipping long distances. Some of you may have noticed

more dry unfortified wines from Portugal gaining notoriety over the years and wonder why. Well, the biggest change is the availability and use of modern technology (along with changes in market demand). If you are a fan of Port, then keep your eye out for wines from the Douro and Dao as they use the same primary grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (yet another tempranillo synonym), Tinta Cao, etc as the fortified Port wines do. These wines offer many of the same characteristics as your favorite Port but are not sweet or fortified so they pair better with food and don’t pack quite the punch. Portugal has also been developing a good reputation for the light, refreshing, and spritzy whites from Vinho Verde. These wines are a particularly good pairing for oysters or while enjoying the company of friends in South Florida on a patio…hmm, maybe we are onto something here.

Out of the Box by Jody Steele

Looking for the perfect gift for your precious child or grandchild can be a holiday challenge. This year I have decided to gift some memories. Of course, the best place to create a memory is at Ocean Reef Club. Santa and his elves have a huge list of “unique” experiences that will bring joy to all those children that have been very good all year! An array of on the water activities can be reserved at the Pool Desk (305-367-7797) or the Concierge (305-367-6516). Choices include an Eco Kayak tour to the mangroves and bird rookeries to get an up close and personal view of wildlife, sailing lessons on a Hobie or learning how to maneuver a Stand Up Paddle Board. The Clubhouse (305-3675912) is the place to call to arrange a golf clinic or an individual lesson for your future golf pro. A few are already on the calendar, but arrangements can be made to fit your schedule, too. Bicycle tours are a great family exercise and can be a lovely way to explore the natural landscape of the Reef. You might want to add a stop at Reef Treats at the end of the adventure. Tennis anyone? Just call the Tennis and Game Center (305367-6583) and schedule an individual lesson or have your child join one of the clinics held daily that go from beginning Quick Start to Junior and Advanced Junior levels. Do not forget that now Pickleball is also an appealing option for all age groups. Lessons available for that fast paced sport as well. The Nature Center (305367-2611 ext. 2473) is always a favorite stop for our grandchil-

dren. Additional trips off the Reef such as a visit to Everglades National Park to do some bird watching, a trek to Monkey Jungle, a stop at the Everglades Outpost, or an experience at the Zoological Wildlife Foundation to see exotic animals are all wonderful opportunities being offered over the holiday season. The Spa (305-367-6506) and Member Fitness Center (305 367 5820) has a gift idea for your older grandchildren (12-15) that is certainly new to me. A Junior Fitness Certificate can be earned by doing a lesson with a trainer that reviews gym etiquette and safe equipment rules. This certificate enables the holder to use the gym between 12 and 4:00 PM which is a pretty grown up privilege. Another gift opportunity is to schedule a spa date such as a mani-pedi or a fancy haircut and style. Take in a show – at the Cultural Center right after Christ-

Albie Foster loves the Nature Center!

Did I mention the Elf Tuck-ins? Contact the concierge for a surprise visit in your own home.

mas you can enjoy a family night, “Stunt Dog Experience” for all ages. Reservations are available on two nights (305367-6300). Last, but not least – another special gift is the chance to be an acrobat at the Trapeze Academy. This can be scheduled through the Concierge 305367-6516). Think of the photo opportunities.

So look at your calendars to schedule some memories and make certificates on your computer to add to your holiday gifting for children. These “unique” experiences are what children will remember in the years to come and it is so much more pleasant than hitting the mall. Santa will also be pleased as it is so much easier on the elves.

Sweet Dreams are Made of These... by Mary Brady

Ever wonder where the luscious turndown candy on your hotel pillow comes from?  Well, wonder no more.  Ocean Reef supports local businesses, and Key Largo Chocolates at MM 100 ½ Bayside provides the best homemade chocolates south of Miami.  Mom and Pop business owners Bob and Kristie Thomas make the tastiest and highest quality chocolate truffles, fudge and key lime cakes to be found anywhere.  Ocean Reef orders 5,000 handmade turn down chocolates a month providing guests at the hotel with a little sweetness with their

It’s a tough job but Mary had to do it.

dreams here in Paradise.  Each candy is handmade and imprinted with the Ocean Reef Logo and placed in a tiny envelope to go on the crisp white pillows.  This attention to detail and extra loving touch makes our club guests feel as special and unique as we are as a Community.  When Bob Thomas, a pilot for Southwest Airlines, and his wife Kristie came to the Keys in 2002, they needed a boost to their income.  Kristie decided to take

a course in making homemade chocolate.  After completing extensive training, she was fortunate enough to train with Barry Callebaut.  Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, Barry Callebaut is the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa.  They employ close to 10,000 people operating out of more than 30 countries.   Key to Prep

Kristie tells me that in preparing the chocolate in the machine, 88.4 to 90 degrees is the perfect temperature for chocolate.  If you get it too hot, the crystals in the chocolate fall apart.  There are two things about chocolate: when it is cool, it is hard and when it is hot, and too hard, it ceases up.  The secret is to bring it up to a certain point and bring it down slowly.  It really is a fine line to navigate.  The Thomas’s ship their handmade truffles nationwide.  Ice packs go into all the packages. Some of the most popular flavors are:

 Like Lucy

Having donned a hairnet and apron, I was put on the line (I Love Lucy style) and put to work.  What looked easy as an observer was difficult as a worker.  “The three rules of chocolate making is:  Time, Temperature and Motion!” Boy what an experience. The polycarbonate mold must be filled with the chocolate and then scraped clean

very quickly before it hardens.  Then the tray is flipped over and tapped to release air bubbles so all you have in the mold is a bottom shell of candy.  Off to the walkin refrigerator and let mold set for 10 – 15 minutes.  Back in and retrieve shell and squeeze in the flavored ganache.  Now back to the line to make the decorative tops – fill, scrape, shake out bubbles, flip, scrape and refrigerate.  After putting the top shell on the truffle, the decorating takes place.  A piece of gold chocolate, orange, green, etc.  It actually is like a miniature work of art.  Kristie tells me that chocolate does not go bad, but it does lose its appearance. It may get the appearance of a thin sheet of dust, which is called a bloom.   Even a candy bar a year or two years old can be heated and brought back to life so to speak.    A Partnership

Craig Horowitz, manager of the Ocean Room routinely, uses the Chocolate Store to provide a tray of homemade truffles for a banquet or special event.  “They are a wonderful family and always accommodate us with whatever we order.  It is evident they put TLC in whatever they make.”  Bob and Kristie also offer chocolate-making classes for adults as well as children.   Next time you are heading south on US 1, stop by and sample some of the delights in this Willie Wonka Haven.  It is an old fashioned delight. Send a little taste of the Keys back to your northern friends.

Italian wines “Pop Up” at the Port O’ Call by Terry Baxter, Director of ORCA Communication

After an action-packed day of vintage cars, boats, and airplanes, a small army of intrepid wine enthusiasts soldiered on to the Port O’ Call for an impromptu wine tasting. Your reporter/ photog was grateful to have an autofocus camera after a pair of Reef Cups during lunch watching the vintage air show. True to Micah’s concept, corks were flying from a couple of delightful Italian bubblies from Lombardy, along with several distinguished selections of Chianti Classico and Super

Wine by the glass available Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The next regular tasting, with a wider selection from many of our vendors, is December 15th featuring the wines of Spain & Portugal. The new high top tables on the Port O’ Call patio were fully booked for the Italian wine “Pop-UP” tasting over the weekend.

“Dot.calm” by Jane Silverman

For only the fifth time in just over a century, Christmas Eve and the first night of Hanukkah both fall on the 24th of December.  A wonderful occurrence for many of the mixed religion families in the world (just like the Trumps) who can hang their stockings, light the first of 8 candles and sing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and the Dreidel Song on the same night!

With two weeks to go, the pressure is on for presents for one and all.  Which brings me to my favorite shopping apps and websites perfect for the loved one who has everything and the grandchild who has too much (gasp! — a grandchild never has too much…).

battery operated doo-dads (which is an actual word, a noun meaning a gadget, especially one whose name you do not know or cannot recall, e.g.  “the latest electronic doodads”). This year, our home has hit our collective saturation point on doo-dads.

So, for the men in my home, I am ordering Man Crates – the ultimate gift “basket” (www.mancrates.com). Yup.

My new favorite gift buying site for the whole family is www.giftadvisor.com which makes gift buying a breeze. It has so many wonderful off-the-beaten track gift ideas broken down by categories including gifts for different ages, professions, relationships and interests like “Binge TV Watching.” How about cufflinks made from a meteorite or portraits of your pet or home? It’s all here!

When my highly-trained tech expert and cyber guru is busy (he is in 8th grade, after all), I rely on two trustworthy websites for advice on buying the best. Www.cnet.com is perfect for any device built this millenium with easy to understand ratings and reviews for hard to understand gifts like virtual reality headsets, computers, and more.

Checking It Twice

Www.consumerreports.org has provided evidence based product testing and ratings for the past 80+ years. Each review is rigorously researched by a team of trusted experts who put thousands of products to the test each year in 50 state-of-the-art labs (and a 327-acre automobile testing track). The very best thing about shopping online? Doing it from the comfort of your own home (or in my case boat) while sipping a nice glass of wine!

Designed by a busy mom, it cross-references your gift ideas by recipient, by store, and more. Looks daunting at first, but click on all the icons to get a feel for the app. Bring on the holidays!

SPORTS AROUND THE REEF

Bonefish Bonnies

your intentions before Dec. 30 (right now is fine!) because RSVPs are critical for planning purposes. The luncheon is $25 per Bonnie, payable at the door (new members can pay their dues at the door, too). by Sarah A. Cart

The Bonefish Bonnies’ next luncheon is Jan. 4 at Anglers Club and will feature speaker Dr. Stephen Davis, ecologist with the Everglades Foundation. An Ohio native, Dr. Davis holds a B.S. degree in biology and environmental science from Georgetown College, an M.S. degree in those same disciplines from Morehead State University, and a PhD from Florida International University. Among his duties with the Everglades Foundation, Dr. Davis leads science efforts focused on Everglades restoration, ecological forecasting of restoration scenarios, and impact of sea-level rise. *Although this seems early to ask for RSVPs, Bonnies are asked to please let Jessica Olefson ([email protected]) know

Meet Bonnie the Fly (and her sister, Beulah):

The Bonefish Bonnies have kicked off the 2016-2017 season by commissioning a pair of flies developed by S.S. Flies of Denmark, Maine. The new flies have been named Bonnie and Beulah; “Bonefish Bonnie” is a little fuzzy around the edges with wonderful pink legs while her sister, “Beulah,” is skinnier, and named after real-life Bonefish Bonnie’s real-life sister. Bonnie was put to the test last month in the Bahamas and proved herself up to the task, bringing in a lovely bonefish. And now members of the Bonefish Bonnies can purchase both Bonnie and Beulah as flies ($8/ each), and as pins ($10/each). To acquire either, any Bonefish Bonnie member is welcome to contact Heather Post ([email protected]). As for any fish caught on the Bonnie or the Beulah, Bonefish Bonnies President Mona Brewer requests that everyone “Please remember to ‘Keep ‘’em wet!’”; fish removed from the water when fishing catch-and-release, even just for 20-second photo ops, have much higher mortality rates. Who are the Bonefish Bonnies?

January speaker: The Bonefish Bonnies look forward to welcoming Dr. Stephen Davis of the Everglades Foundation to the organization’s Jan. 4 luncheon. Timely reservations are required for the event; contact Jessica Olefson at [email protected].

The Bonefish Bonnies, always ready to welcome new members, are women anglers of Ocean Reef and Key Largo Anglers Clubs whose purpose is to gather together other women interested in fun, friendship and fishing (or learning about fishing); provide knowledge about all aspects of the sport in the comfort of a congenial atmosphere; and share the

Meet Bonnie (left) and her sister Beulah: The Bonefish Bonnies commissioned the pair this past summer, and like the club’s logo, both ladies feature beautiful blue eyes and bright smiles.

Bonnie proves herself: The new Bonnie fly proved herself up to the task last month when she was taken by a bonefish in Mangrove Cay’s Middle Bight.

joy of fishing, no matter the level (beginner to expert), technique (spin or fly), or location (flats or off-shore). Events usually are held on Wednesdays; they are priced separately on a pay-asyou-go basis. Membership in the 17-year-old organization is open to all women interested in fishing; additional information, including the calendar of events, can be accessed via the organization’s website, www.BonefishBonnies.com or by contacting the organization’s president, Mona Brewer (mona@ monabrewer.com). The Bonnie calendar includes

monthly luncheons with speakers, three tournaments (Offshore Feb. 15; “No Rules” March 1; and Flats March 29), and opportunities to take part in classes and fishing trips, as well as myriad other fun events. Bonnies also have the opportunity to purchase “BonnieWear,” samples of which will soon be on display in the new Bonefish Bonnies case in the Reef Treats/Orvis lobby. For additional information or a membership application, contact Mona Brewer ([email protected]) or Admin@ BonefishBonnies.com.

How Do We Start Our Golf Swing? “Golf Tip” by Brian Varsey, Head Teaching Professional

I am often asked how to start the backswing. The simplest idea I know would be to push the club head back with the left hand and arm. This puts the lead arm in control of the golf swing and gets the club moving on the correct path, both around and up. The shoulders and hips should turn and shift in response to the swinging club and arm. We can refine the movement of those body parts if necessary.

Once the left arm and the club head reach the top of the backswing the left arm should lead the downswing. Once again the legs, hips and shoulders should move in response to the motion of the lead arm on the downswing. Again, we can refine the movement of the other body parts if necessary. An awareness of the lead hand and arm moving the club head back and then down is a great way to start your swing. Come by the Academy of Golf to make sure you are swinging the club correctly. Don’t forget to come to Golf Fitness Wednesday mornings from 7:30-8:30, the Skills Contest at the Driving range on Saturdays from 12:00-4:00, and to keep a lookout for our new clinics and schools, including a Get Ready for Golf beginners school on December 9-10th and a Short Game School on December 17.

Cuebids: (Slang Qbid) by Gregg VanDyke, Director of Card & Game

A cuebid is the bid of a suit that is very unlikely to be trump, either because it has been bid by the opponents or because your side has already agreed on trump. There are three types of cuebids: 1. Cuebids that promise: These usually show first (or sometimes second) round con-

trol of the suit bid (i.e. the ace or void for first round control and the king or singleton for second round control). (1S/ P/ 3S/ P/ 4C) shows first round control of clubs.) (1S/ P/ 3S/ P/ 4C/ P/5C) shows second round control of clubs but denies first round control in either hearts or diamonds). 2. Cuebids that ask: Usually looking for a stopper for no trump (1D/ OPP-2S/ 3S) or for help in a suit in game try (1S/ P/2S/ P/ 3C,) looking for club help). 3. General force: Usually showing a limit raise or better (1S/ OPP-2D/ 3D) or (OPP-1D/ You-1S/OPP- 1NT/Partner2D), which shows limit raise or better in spades by Partner.

New Faces on the Lawn “Croquet News” by Ron Sekura

This year the rains held off for the Vintage Weekend. While the vintage people were enjoying their activities on Friday our croquet players were enjoying a lovely afternoon on the croquet lawns. During play some of our strikers chatted in anticipation of the fun public events Vintage Weekend would offer. And we were not disappointed. On Saturday several ORCC members could be spotted enjoying the air acrobatics, getting a close up look at vintage boats and aeroplanes (that’s how croquet players spell

Some new strikers (L to R): Art Ruffing, Linda and Ralph Moore, Deborah and Alan Geller, Julia Gere, John Hope and Joan Ruffing.

it), and best of all seeing the vintage automobiles. Some of the newer models brought back memories of our younger years. But with the older models we were glad to see that things older than us could still work well and still look good. Then it was Sunday. This was our first mixer of the season where we invite anyone interested in croquet to come out and give it a try. As on usual

play days, (Sunday, Tuesday and Friday at 2 PM ), we played golf croquet. The rules are straightforward and with just a short introduction you can gain enough competence to begin to play with our croquet club members. We welcome new players. If you missed this past Sunday we will have another new player mixer on January 8, 2017. Attendance at Sunday’s event

was great. We had more than ten prospective members come out to give croquet a try. Art and Joan Ruffing were very gracious and spent the afternoon teaching the first timers proper stroke technique, basic rules, and some of the important shots. The response was great, especially among the younger “newbies.” Some even expressed the desire to sharpen their skills to the point where they would be able to represent Ocean Reef in competition. Lets all sharpen our skills. Wouldn’t it be great to have a croquet team that could challenge some of the other croquet clubs in the area and even participate in the USCA sponsored tournaments at the National Croquet Center in Palm Beach? All in all a great afternoon. Between rounds of teaching and playing everyone had a chance to gather under the cool Tiki Hut to sip some wine, enjoy some snacks and chat with old and new friends.

Mindy Slovick caught this 15.8 oz Mutton Snapper fishing with Capt. John Barnes.

Corey Martin with his 1st Permit. Caught with Capt. Darrick Parker.

This 175 lb Yellowfin tuna was caught on Nov. 19th on the Game Changer, owned by member John Isham and captained by Adam Alfano. Matt McFarland hooked the fish in 120 ft of water on a live goggle eye under a kite on 17lb test. The fish is a new Ocean Reef Club record.

Everyone knows Wynn’s friendly manager Bill Homer. He was all smiles (well, he always is) catching not just one Permit, but two, and a tarpon while fishing with Bruce Miller.

The Caroling Boat Tradition Continues According to Mary Brady who researched the history of the Caroling Boat last season, it’s origins can be traced back to 1977. It was Henny Frey who told Mary, “Once upon a time, around the year 1977, a small motor boat that carried 4-5 people and an accordion player roamed the canals around Ocean Reef at Christmastime singing glad tidings of the season.” By the early 1990’s the Frey’s were inviting a different boat each year to participate.  One boat was loaned by Jimmy McDonald who started Community Bank.  The late Barbara and Bob Gintel graciously lent their boat, and Bob provided his own Captain Marty. Local Captain Marty.  Localknowledge knowlof theofwaters edge the waters was imperative was imperative because the canals were dark.  Capt. Marty excelled at being able to bring the boat close to the dock, even in the pitch dark of night. He would pivot the pulpit to hang over the dock so Santa could distribute candy to the children. Many carols and many Santas later the tradition continues at The Reef next Friday, December 23. The Club, through the Member Events team, now organizes the Caroling Boat and added a new element last year, the Grinch’s Shoreside Party. This year the Party begins at 5:00 p.m. on the Port O’Call patio. The party allows everyone to enjoy the sights and sounds that have become a part of the Holiday fabric at Ocean Reef, oh and hang out with the Grinch! See page 5 inside for the route the Caroling Boat will take around The Reef for those that want to enjoy it from their own vantage point.

The Holidays   by Arthur Birsh

Thank you to Linda Carithers of the Medical Center for Mangrove and Light. A reminder of the stunning beauty that surrounds Ocean Reef. Did you see something interesting or unique in your travels about The Reef? On land, in the water or in the air? We invite you to share your discoveries within our environment, email [email protected] or visit us on Facebook!

Holidays should be more than days the banks are allowed to be closed Invented Sundays when one obeys what retailers have superimposed   For some a day deeply religious Scads fill stadiums as diversion Others sit down to meals prodigious Even a museum submersion   Perhaps an escape for fun outdoors Or hours spent only in repose A chance to lean back, rest on the oars Hopefully a respite from toil or woes   For us The Holidays are specific December, lasting more than a week Far greater than ritualistic A splendid time with its own mystique   A world of brilliant decoration Delightful aromas of spice and pine An absolute declaration That love and joy must combine

“Links” Galore on Charity Tour by Yurianna Mikolay Executive Director Ocean Reef Community Foundation

You may recognize “The Link” as the name of the Foundation’s annual newsletter. Our latest edition just went to print in the same week we discovered “links” galore between the Ocean Reef and Homestead communities on our recent Charity Tour, proving the aptness of the name once again. At our first stop, Carysfort Transportation driver Ingelman Duisty lit up when we pulled in to visit the Homestead Youth Arts Center where his little girl takes dance lessons. He tells us it’s a hub in the community where parents know kids are safe and cared for “like a family.” Inside, we’re impressed by a wall of trophies, a talented class of ballerinas and two dedicated sisters who have served hundreds of kids leading the studio for more than a decade. It turns out Ashley and Lianna are the daughters of the owner of Archer Painting here at Ocean Reef. As we discuss their programs, Carolyn Ellis realizes she’d actually already enjoyed one of their

performances when a Wynn’s at Ocean Reef employee invited her to attend her child’s recital recently. Next up is a Redlands Christian Migrant Association childcare center, where we take our time meandering through gaggles of engaging preschoolers to see a playground in need of a sunshade. The children’s parents are farm workers responsible for harvesting the crops that nourish our own families every day. At the Homestead Animal Hospital, once the practice of ORCAT’s first vet Dr. Dale Vicha, Project PetSnip works to help control the area’s shocking numbers of unwanted cats and dogs. Judy Wilson corroborates that she’s recently frequented two Redlands plant nurseries whose owners each brought up their growing concerns about the huge problem of pets being abandoned in the area. Last stop is The Arc of South Florida’s new ACE Academy building, one of three sites in Homestead and Florida City where the Greater Miami Youth Symphony hopes to extend their music lessons. We learn about the symphony from VP Leslie Carpenter, proud grandmother of one of its musicians and a 30 year employee of Keen Battle Mead & Company at Ocean Reef. Last and not least, we are delighted to come across the Club’s own VP of F&B Giovanni Melis’ daughter Francesca conducting a speech therapy session on our tour of the new school before the half

Sponsoring Guests Q&A by Susan Bohan

Most of us were introduced to Ocean Reef as a guest. Whether invited by a family member, business organization or a friend, we arrived by invitation of a Member. The rules for guests have changed a little over the years as necessitated by the times and determined by your Board. The following are some areas that may be misunderstood so we asked Islande Dillon, Director of Membership Services, for clarification: Do I need to register a guest if they are staying in my home?

Yes. To extend charging privileges to your guest, whether the guest is staying in your home or on the ORC property such as the Inn or Vacation Rental home. You fill out a “Member Sponsorship Authorization” form provided at the front desk or online. Are the privileges of Guest

sponsorship the same for an Equity Member and Social Member?

No. A Social Member can sponsor guests to stay at the Inn or Vacation Rentals. An Equity Member can sponsor guests to stay at their home or in the Inn or Vacation Rentals. As stated in the Clubs Rules and Regulations: No person, other than a house guest, or child of a Club member, as set forth herein in the sections entitled “Guest” and “Children”, shall be permitted to visit the Club more than two times in any five year period, with each visit to be limited to a maximum of 14 days, without becoming a member of the Club. This shall be known as the “two visit rule”. Are there exceptions to the length of time a guest can have charging privileges?

All types of Memberships include charging privileges for spouse and children under the age of 23. Yes, Equity members’ lineal family may have Guest charging privileges for up to 59 days per year (parents, children and grandchildren over the age of 23). Children and Grandchildren of resident Equity Members are also eligible for Legacy membership. The “two visit rule” applies to all guests and family members of Social Members.

May I let a guest use my membership card?

Is there a charge for a Guest Card?

Yes. Guests of Equity Members are charged $5 per card and those of Social Members are charged $25. There is no charge for the guest card if the Equity member is responsible for the entire bill or the guest stays at the Inn or a Club managed Vacation Rental Property.

No. The membership card may only be used by the person to whom it was issued. Under no circumstances are cards transferable. Who can sponsor an unaccompanied day guest to use the Club’s facilities?

Equity members may do so. Social members may not sponsor an unaccompanied day guest under any circumstances.

How can a guest be sponsored if they are not staying with a member or at a property operated by the Club?

While the property must have an Equity attached & the property owner must sign the Guest Sponsorship Form, the Equity Member has the option to indicate they do not know the Guest and the guest can complete a Sponsorship Request Form, which is vetted by the Membership Office. If the guest of a Social Member resides in a non-Club sponsored rental, the owner of the property must sponsor the guest, not the Social Member.

What is the status of the Social Member Wait List and may they have access to the Club while on it?

There are currently 231 approved applicants on the Social Member Wait List and the anticipated time to move off the list is 18 to 24 months. The Club has created a few “Wait List Weekends” during off peaks times so that applicants may use the Club facilities while waiting. If you have any questions not addressed above, Membership is always available to discuss any particular situation stop in or call them at 305-367-5921.

Can a guest enjoy all the amenities of the Club?

No. The Point, the Clubhouse and Member Fitness are for exclusive use of Club members.

Idina Menzel Friday, January 6 | 8PM $250 Donor | $265 Non-Donor Pre-performance dinner $47++ The Tony Award-winning icon has a diverse career that traverses stage, film, television and music. Menzel’s voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney’s global box office smash FROZEN, in which she sings the film’s Oscar-winning song “Let It Go,” and in the follow-up short, FROZEN FEVER.

Garnering huge critical acclaim, Menzel reached superstardom on Broadway with her Tony Awardwinning performance as ‘Elphaba,’ the misunderstood green girl in the blockbuster WICKED, and in her Tony-nominated role as ‘Maureen’ in the Pulitzer Prize winning RENT. Menzel’s most recent Broadway role as ‘Elizabeth’ in the original production IF/THEN earned her a third Tony nomination.

We Mourn the Loss

John Charles Pohlhaus

John Charles Pohlhaus, a twotime All-American lacrosse player at the Johns Hopkins University who became the youngest partner at Alex. Brown, died of pneumonia on Thanksgiving Day. He was 86. Known as “Jack,” the avid outdoorsman would wake before sunrise to hunt ducks in Southern Maryland, then drive to arrive at his office by 9 a.m. He was handsome and charismatic, an accomplished athlete and businessman. The son of Walter Pohlhaus, a stockbroker, and Dorothy Robertson Pohlhaus, a homemaker, he was born in Baltimore and lettered in football, basketball and lacrosse at St. Paul’s School.

He graduated in 1948. At Hopkins, he pledged Beta Theta Pi, joined the ROTC and studied business. He played defense on storied Blue Jays lacrosse teams. Jack graduated in 1952 with a degree in business and married Jessie McCallum. They were married 43 years until her death in 1995. In 1952, he was commissioned a Navy ensign aboard the USS J. Douglas Blackwood, a destroyer. He served two years and patrolled the Caribbean and South American coast. He returned to Baltimore and played for the Mount Washington Lacrosse Club. Mr. Pohlhaus played for and coached the club for a decade. Jack later joined Alex.Brown rising to Managing Director for the Syndicate Department where he was involved in the initial Public Offerings for companies including Microsoft, Intel and Starbucks. Jack and his wife Jessie raised three children, Carl, John Jr. and Linda. Together they fished, crabbed and hunted on Sherwood Manor Farm on the Eastern Shore. Jack raised thoroughbred horses and sold them as yearlings. The family also raised dogs and goats.

He enjoyed his travels to South Dakota to hunt pheasant, to Arkansas to hunt ducks and to the Scottish moors to hunt grouse. In Argentina, he hunted dove. He regularly attended horse races in Louisville, Saratoga Springs and Miami. He preferred Smirnoff vodka on ice. A widower for about two years, he married Karen Hector of Miami in 1997. They lived part time at Ocean Reef Club where he enjoyed playing golf. He loved the game and even more than that, he loved mentoring the young golf professionals of Ocean Reef. Each season he would invite them to join the “book club.” Although no one read, it was Jack’s opportunity to engage with them, particularly those interested in business careers. A memorial service was held Saturday, December 10, in Brooklandville, MD. A private event will be held at Ocean Reef in January. In addition to his children and wife, survivors include stepdaughter Ansley Elfmont Ross of Miami; and nine grandchildren. It was Jack’s wish for anyone wanting to make a donation to consider the Bag Room Open at The Reef, or the Children’s Bereavement Center in Miami.

Bereavement Support Group For those who have lost a loved one there will be a Bereavement Support Group meeting held at the Chapel Annex beginning Tuesday, January 10th at 3:00 p.m. The group will meet weekly and will focus on a different topic relating to the grieving process ranging from coping with birthdays, anniversaries & holidays, to stress management and health issues. The group will be facilitated by Martha OttoFitzdam, MSSW, Clinical Social Worker for VNA & Hospice of the Florida Keys. For more information or to sign up, please call Martha at 305-219-1757 or Carolyn Ellis at 305-3674811.

Lanyards for Young Cart Drivers

Curious about Kurios? by Joanne and Graham Thomas, Art League

Those who missed the Art League trip to the Cirque du Soleil show “Kurios” missed a real treat. We had wonderful seats (front, center and close) and the show was spectacular.  Where the imagination comes from is beyond belief. Have you ever seen an acrobat on a bicycle 50 feet above the ground doing tricks and riding the bike?  How ‘bout a juggler juggling 75 feet up?  Or a yoyoist doing things we never dreamed of as kids?  This was followed by a lovely dinner at Olivos in Doral. We were 24 lucky people! 

We went through the motions of getting a learner’s permit with Elizabeth (11 years old), a written test and a dual-control test cart ride. But if you already have a learner’s permit or an Ocean Reef Golf Cart license, you can simply present your license at the Welcome Center to get the new lanyard which identifies you as a licensed cart driver— no more Public Safety stops to check your ID. Public Safety Officer Connie Williams makes the process a pleasure. By Terry Baxter

Oribe is Here “Spa Notes” by April Smith, Spa Manager

same name – Oribe Canales. With over 30 years of styling high fashion and print models, he created the line with function and luxury in mind for the end user. Anyone that has used these products can agree that they are best in class, with the goal of pleasing the most discriminating clients. Oh, and they smell great too! Come by the Salon and try something new! And for those that are still shopping for gifts on your Christmas list, don’t forget The Spa for your favorite people! Special retail opportunities start this Friday Dec 16th with a jewelry trunk show from Mary Louise Designs. Next week, we will also be doing a “Sip and Shop” on Thursday and Friday.

The Alchemist of Harper’s Bar by Terry Baxter

Joseph Patrick Casey is the bar tender at Harper’s in the Reef Lounge, a job for which he has prepared his entire life. He knew as a youngster that he didn’t want to be an auto mechanic like his father and two brothers, so he started busing tables at fourteen. It wasn’t a hallelujah moment, but it did lead to a career in hospitality. Joseph took a special high school culinary program and discovered that kitchen work was…”also not for me.” He first worked as a “bar back” when he came to Florida right after Andrew, and immediately pre-

ferred the direct contact with his customers. After working at the Aruba Beach Café, he opened his own place, Smoke, in Ft. Lauderdale, and cigar & steak emporium. “The best years of my life until Ocean Reef,” he says. He and his partners sold Smoke in 1997. Joseph took a nice nest egg to Key West, but “eventually blew it all.” His nostalgic smile makes it clear that plenty of fun was had along the way.

DUELING

Working in Key West bars is where Joseph says his “crafting” developed, creating his own drinks, syrups, liquors, and infusions. He mastered the Mai Tai and the Mojito, and learned how to treat people the right way. “Everything I’ve learned is coming out here -know your customers and what they drink.” Jane Battles, the night’s first arrival at the Reef Lounge, heard his comment and confirmed it. “I don’t know how he does what he does,” she said. “Joseph mixed three kinds of bourbon together to pacify my friends – he never stopped mixing while entertaining us at the same time.” Joseph has several self-de-

veloped specials: “Awesome Coffee” (Kahlua, Crème de Cacao, Whipped Cream, Grand Marnier, ORC Roast Coffee, with a cinnamon Sugar Rum); “Smoked Rob Roy;” and “Barrel-aged Cocktails” (featuring smoked maple syrup bourbon) – an after dinner sipping drink. But it is his charming interaction with patrons that comes naturally. Joseph feels comfortable in Harper’s and hopes it will always maintain its connection to the Club’s history, no matter what changes around it. “Where else but Ocean Reef would the President of the Club come by to say hello to me, the bar tender? I’m home.”

On the advice of our friend, Joan the Shopper, my mom, Mary Brady, took me on a shopping spree in the Fishing Village. Our mission was to see what the stores had stocked for Christmas presents for animals. Being the “guy” I am, I was not really up for the whole shopping thing, but obediently I went along. As we started, I was beginning to think this was more about Mom than me. Vineyard Vines had a few cool dog collars but I already have one. McLaughlin offered a bowl of cool water outside, and Mom seemed

delighted in the festive fabrics inside however as you know, I am color-blind. Dockside, Lilly, and Tommy Bahama were wellstocked for the 2-legged types but I thought this was about me? Ahh, Orvis had a selection of dog beds – one of which I tried out and was very comfy. Melissa, the Manager, offered me a tasty biscuit, too. We were told we could order from the store by

catalog and they would have it shipped to us for free.  Wynn’s had a great selection of tasty treats, stocking stuffers, collars, leashes and squeaky toys. The Manager, Mr. Jim, was very kind and let Mom take a photo of the “Dog Section.” At Last

Our final trip was to Reef Treats. Well, now I know why the 2-legged kids love this place!

Put aside the pastamaker, bread baker and super-duper-juicer! Now your pup can enjoy homemade treats with Bake a Bone (www. bakeaboneinfo.com) a waffle-making-like device which bakes perfectly shaped dog bone treats such as Snickerpoodles, Cheesy Bites, Banana Biscotti, Bacon Bites, and Veggie Snacks for hard to feed dogs. Tasty!

“Dot.calm” by Jane Silverman

Whether you live in a blizzard zones or far from the madding crowd, online shopping is a must. I admit I miss the experience of holiday shopping real time: walking into stores with air fragrant and warmed by mulled wine, the scent of cinnamon and allspice, twinkle lights brightening your spirits and a sense of joviality embracing you. That essence of the season just can’t be bottled or bought with Amazon prime. BFF: Best Furry Friend

Growing up in Upstate New York meant snow. Real snow. Like the great blizzard of 2015 Snowmageddon kind of snow. I grew up with four seasons, two of which were SNOW. We even had a snow dog – a white Russian Wolfhound who would have loved Barkbox (www.barkbox.

I had a wonderful homemade biscuit made with honey, and I was rewarded for my exemplary behavior shopping with a small cup of Chilly Paws Dog Ice Cream! Now I call that place my favorite. I am a living example of the way to a pet’s heart is through his stomach! I’ll remind Mom when we walk through the Fishing Village to skip all the others and just cut to the chase with Reef Treats. YUMMMMM!!!!

SPORTS AROUND THE REEF

Pickleball Continued from | 1 Pickleball Teaching Pros and our own Ocean Reef Tennis Pros. Members surrounded the courts listening to Rifkind’s play-by-play comments as the pros faced off. The commentary helped viewers understand the game better as they were told what the pros did well and what they could improve on. The highlight of this year’s Blazing Paddles was the Pickleball Court Dedication. ORC Chairman of the Board Bob Schmetterer kicked off the ceremony by recognizing Tennis Committee Chair Heather Post, Pickleball Representative Jodi Betz, Teresa Holmes, John Lyberger, Michael Leemhuis, Jim Morton and Mic O’Keeffe for their efforts in creating the beautiful new courts in only a few months. “Three years ago, the Tennis & Games Center only had one court,” Schmetterer said during the Dedication. “Well, what a difference a couple of years makes. There is already terrific demand and success with much more to come.” While Pickleball has grown in popularity among Ocean Reef Members in recent years, the game has been around for much longer. In 1965, then Washington State congressman Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum came up with the idea for the game when they wanted to play a game of badminton with their families but didn’t have a full set of rackets. They improvised using ping pong paddles and a perforated plastic ball and came up with rules that relied heavily on badminton. As the game became more popular an official name was needed, but how did they come

up with a name as interesting as Pickleball? Many say the game was named after the Pritchard’s family dog: a cocker spaniel named Pickles. Whenever they played, Pickles would grab the ball and run off with it, making it Pickle’s ball. Hence, the name Pickleball was born and 51 years later it’s growing rapidly as a worldwide sport that everyone can play. Schmetterer said he believes one reason Members love Pickleball so much is because it’s playable by all ages and skill levels making it “a game that the whole family can play together.” Golden burgee paddle in hand, Schmetterer closed the Dedication with the inaugural serve, officially dedicating the new

On Monday, December 12th, the Tennis & Games Center was the place to be to compete with your favorite partner of the opposite sex. The day began with our annual Tennis Association Mixed Doubles Round Robin and Christmas luncheon. We had twenty-two players participate in the round robin with Graham Thomas and Lynne Jackson taking first place and Kevin Fish and Eve Rosen taking second place. Later that afternoon, we held our first Pickle & Pints Pickleball Round Robin. This new event is also run as a Mixed Doubles competition and attracted sixteen players. Winning first place honors was newcomer Wally Hayward who was undefeated in his 4 matches, along with Cathy Ryon who won 3 of her 4 matches. A special thanks to all of the Pro’s on my staff as each one donated a complimentary 1/2 hour lesson which was given out in a drawing at the luncheon. If you would like to join the Tennis Association this year, please contact Tennis Concierge Lindsey Vermillion at 305-522-1519 to sign up.

Golf Croquet v. Six Wicket “Croquet News” by Ron Sekura

Maybe you heard before that the differences between golf croquet and six wicket can be compared the differences between checkers and chess. Lets take a look at the two sports but with six wicket an abbreviated look since the rules can get quite granular. And with six wicket a different set of rules are used depending where you play. In the US and Canada we play American Rules, while most of the rest of the world plays according to Association Rules. In both sports the layout of the court is the same, a box within the lawn with a wicket in each corner, two wickets in the center of the box separated by a post. With golf croquet the rules are

simple; Blue and Back are a pair as are Red and Yellow. After a coin toss blue goes first followed by Red, Black and Yellow. Once a wicket is scored play by all goes on to the next wicket. Play goes from wicket to wicket in clockwise direction until play comes through the middle two wickets and in a tie finishes by going through the second wicket from the backside. The first team to score 4 wickets wins. This makes for very social play with players chatting and kibitzing as they plan and await their turn. In six wicket play also begins with Blue and in order for each ball to get into the game it must score the first wicket. In six wicket each ball must pass through each wicket in the prescribed order to proceed. And each passage scores a point. However unlike Golf Croquet the player gets a second shot after making the wicket. Here you may see players do things as bizarre such as intentionally hitting their ball out of bounds. Why? Because you don’t want an opponent to be able to hit your ball. If you hit another ball during your turn you have the opportunity to position you ball next to the ball you struck, hit that

ball again and have another shot. By doing this a competent player can position his and his opponents balls so he can move from wicket to wicket scoring a run of wickets. If you are ready to give up on the rules only one more clarification. After you taken your turn after hitting a ball you become dead on that ball, meaning you cannot hit it again. Look at the “Deadness Board” in the photo. Poor Yellow is dead on Blue, Black and Red. All Yellow can do is run and hide and try not to be

fodder in an opponent’s run. But all is not lost when Yellow makes its next wicked it is resurrected and is no longer dead on any balls. Its nice to know that there is hope after striking out. A bunch of us are doing six wicket “pick-up” games and Friday mornings at 10:30 A. If you want to join the participants please send an e-mail to [email protected], we will put you on our contact list. Anyone playing will be willing to start you on the rudiments of the game.

Consistency! “Golf Tip” by Brian Varsey, Head Teaching Professional

“I want to be more consistent!”, we hear it all the time. It is not uncommon for a Tour Pro to shoot 65 one day and 75 the next. When we have an 85 one day followed up by 95 the next the only difference is the level of play, not the consistency. Just like the stock market the road to long term gains will have ups and downs. What you don’t want to do is constantly chase a quick fix to the detriment of long term gains. Typically

improving your impact conditions, when you strike the golf ball, will help your long term improvement. Learning a new method or swing thought of the day might provide short term gratification, while sticking to some simple ideas about what the golf club should be doing when you strike the ball should make long term improvement. Very few people understand what effects the golf club has on why the ball goes where it does. Learning correct impact conditions can help your swing tendencies move in the right direction. Check out some of our new programs at the Academy of Golf and come to the Golf Fitness class at the Member Fitness Center on Wednesdays from 7:30-8:30 so your body will work to improve your impact conditions.

Rod and Gun Club Corner by Erich Overhardt

Thursday, Dec. 15 marks the opening of Card Sound range for all shooting enthusiasts. Wednesday, Dec. 28 is our annual Holiday offshore and bottom fishing tournament. These two great events are in a combined day. Sign up for both or just one. Captains meeting is in the Yacht Club Room at 5:30 p.m. on the Tuesday, Dec. 27 and includes hors devours and cocktails. The event includes the kickoff meeting and awards banquet on Dec. 28 at 5:30 p.m. in the Tarpon room. Entry is $535 including tax. Pick up your form at MarineMax or attend the Captains meeting. Family day at the Range is on Thursday, Dec. 29. The event is a great introduction to shooting and is fun for the whole family.Food and drink is provided. Offshore fishing, wind and weather allowing has gotten off to a decent start. The sailfish bite sparked up just in time for the Grand Masters

tournament where dozens of sails were released. Sails also continue to shower shallow from here to well past Pacific. No better bite than to hunt and pitch to a lit up sail. Plenty of the usual suspects around depending on conditions, of wahoo, black fins, kings and lifters or bigger dolphin. And of course the bottom bite rocks up this way this time of year. Be mindful of the new regulations regarding your favorite eating fish. I use the SA regulations app to keep track and receive alerts regarding closing and opening of seasons. Bait has been plentiful although the ballyhoo bait boats have been striking the reef up our way this year. Sardines and cigar minnows are here if you can find them, one true indicator is looking for white birds or warbirds diving on the outer areas past the ballyhoo spots. December is the month of mutton snapper. These fish are caught on the bayside in the shallows to up 300 feet are worth bringing in to be weighed at MarineMax. The largest one recieves a nice credit from MarineMax who along with the Rod & Gun Club sponsor fish of the month. Tight lines!

RECENT CATCH

Top Right: Larry Johnston took his good friend Don McCann out who caught and released this beautiful trophy Permit here at Ocean Reef while fishing with Capt. Bruce Miller. Bottom: Captain Ryan Kickel shows off a nice Mutton Snapper caught on the patch reefs aboard Mr. Nice II. With Hogfish Season closed, mutton snapper makes a fantastic alternative. They are just as tasty and fun to catch.

Card & Games Corner by Gregg VanDyke, Director of Card & Game

Last week was very exciting at the Card & Game Room, we had our first STaC Tournament of this season. Many Clubs Participated in it and won Silver Points. Ocean Reef players came in the Overalls and we made a great showing. Dottie Kemp and Monica Phillips had a huge 70% game on Friday! This was enough for 1st Place Overall! 167 tables from various clubs and country clubs participated in this. This awarded 14.59 Silver Points to the winners! This reflects the quality of play here at Ocean Reef and how much our club has improved in Florida Bridge Circles. Thursday Evening was the first "Evening Of Bridge" Dinner. Twenty-eight Members attended and

all had a great time. We played 18 hands of Bridge, and enjoyed a fabulous buffet and dessert bar. This was all done at a very casual pace and finished at 9:15 p.m. The camraderie enjoyed by all in this friendly affair reflects the unique quality of play that we enjoy here at Ocean Reef. We will do another one in January or February, plan on attending! Tuesday, Dec. 20 lesson at 2 p.m. will be on Bidding Over Opponents 1NT Opening Bids. Learn how to compete against this. Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 12:15 before the bridge game I will do a mini-lecture. Barbara Seagram will be presenting a Seminar here on January 26.

ORCA Notes

able. As we near the end of the year, ORCA is right on budget overall.

by Terry Baxter, ORCA Director of Communications

Environmental

The ORCA Board met last week to work through many of the usual issues. As we all know, construction has been widespread at the Reef over the last year. The Architectural Committee reported that permits have actually doubled in 2016. This demonstrates a healthy investment in the growth and enhancement of our real estate, and creates permit fees for ORCA, which helps reduce your assessments. The approval for new construction at Ocean Reef goes through a number of steps -- “preliminary” approval by the ORCA Architectural Committee usually occurs with a list of conditions and questions to be satisfied which may lead to a “Final Approval” by the Committee. Then off to the ORCA Board for their review and approval. So you may hear something has been “approved,” but it may be only at a step along the way. For major projects, the road is long, but this is how we preserve our unique way of life. The financial report was favor-

ORCA continues active involvement in the effort to protect our water quality from the salt plume created by the Turkey Point cooling system. ORCA President, David Ritz, outlined the challenges remaining. He works with a variety of governmental and conservation agencies to urge change. ORCA agreed to fund the science needed to support a solution to the cooling/ salinity issue. Anticipating the Holiday Crowd

Yes, we know it is coming. CHRISTMAS CRUSH. Mike Leemhuis outlined some of the steps he is hoping will make it better than ever: An expanded capacity to handle diners, more parking and valet services, more space on the beach and at The Point, more pool seating, more cabanas, and beautiful holiday decorations and light displays. So, Merry Christmas all. Then, on New Years, the leaf blowers get muffled (only electric blowers will be permitted after January 1st). Thank you ORCA.

Have a Very Coral Christmas Carysfort Nursery Thrives Through Community Support

The Carysfort nursery represents the commitment and dedication that the Ocean Reef community has made to the health of our local reefs and to the health of our world’s oceans. By partnering with the Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF), the community has supported the effort to restore the reef through financial gifts, buying trees and even divers who have volunteered time to tend the growing corals. Building on the success of the “adopt a coral” program, sights are now set on a truly remarkable goal: to restore Carysfort Reef to what it looked like 40 years ago. Through the partnership with CRF, 2,077 staghorn and 1,086

elkhorn have already been out planted at Carysfort Reef. The goal is to completely rebuild Carysfort Reef—which would be the first time anywhere in the world that a coral reef was restored to its natural state. How you can get involved

It’s never too late to buy a Christmas “coral” Tree for your family that will be cherished for generations to come: the gift of a coral tree that will help bring life back to endangered reefs in the Florida Keys. Looking a lot like a Christmas tree on the ocean floor, the coral trees are festooned with various genetic strains of coral— by building a large pool of genetically diverse strains of elkhorn and staghorn, there’s a greater likelihood of success when these corals are replanted on the reef. You can help in so many ways, and most of all, enjoy the beautiful reef that is improving with each new forest. For more information, visit www.coralrestoration.org

Ocean Reef visitors with Miami Cancer Institutes’ Founding CEO, Dr. Michael Zinner view the Cyclotron providing proton beam therapy.

Baptist Health South Florida Opens Cancer Center Recently several Ocean Reef members who are Baptist Health South Florida donors and two Medical Center physicians had the privilege of a first hand look at the new Miami Cancer Institute, with Baptist Health President Brian Keeley and Michael Zinner, M.D., Founding CEO and Executive Medical Director of The Miami Cancer Institute. The Miami Cancer Institute has collaborated with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Alliance; a unique partnership between Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Baptist Health that seek to bring the most current knowledge and advanced cancer care to the South Florida area. This collaboration will provide the highest levels of innovation and precision in cancer care in combination with the renowned focus on patient experience for which Baptist Health is well known. Situated on Baptist’s Kendall Drive main campus the $430

million, 395,000 square-foot Cancer Institute opens in January of 2017. They are one of 15 Proton beam radiation facilities in the U.S and the only one in South Florida.

This is also the only cancer center is the U.S. with all 7 forms of radiation therapy under one roof. Proton therapy targets cancer cells with pinpoint precision while sparing healthy tissue. The facility is designed with natural daylight and attractive views for the patients’ comfort. The Medical Center at Ocean Reef and Baptist Health South Florida have enjoyed a long and beneficial relationship, striving to provide unsurpassed and expedited healthcare for all of the Ocean Reef community. We are so fortunate to have this state of the art cancer center in our own backyard. Visit us at www.mcor.org Calendar Reminders

The More the Merrier Expanded holiday dining options and tranportation

It’s the most wonderful time of the year at Ocean Reef Club, and with expanded holiday dining options, the season is as delicious as it is festive. In addition to all The Reef’s restaurant offerings, there are a variety of family dining options that range from Quick Bites to Starlight Dinners, many of which do not require reservations. The Burgee Bar is open for lunch, made-toorder grab ‘n go breakfast sandwiches are available at the Reef Lounge and the Food Truck, Reef Hut is offering dinner and family take-out and the Palm Court is once again serving up a crowd-pleasing Family Holiday BBQ. You can find the full schedule of special holiday

offerings included in the center spread of this issue. Another area where there’s a boom is in transportation. Over the past year, the Club has made several enhancements to make the experience of getting around The Reef more enjoyable for all. We’ve added 120 new golf cart parking spaces, in place of some of the Marina Tennis Courts, with an easy path that cuts through the newly to Buccaneer Island and

Town Hall. In addition to coming by cart, you can also travel by rickshaw between the Inn and the Fishing Village. This member service was added last year and will be available Tuesday, December 27 – Friday, December 30 during peak times. Valet parking is another convenience provided by your Club’s transportation department and is available for all dining at the Ocean Room and Reef Lounge, including on

New Year’s Eve for the Gala, along with the fireworks. There is also a convenience shuttle that runs in the Fishing Village in the evenings. As offered throughout the season, the Golf Clubhouse also offers valet for Members dining inside. These services are all complimentary to Members and their guests. And lastly, perhaps the most exciting new mode of transportation is the Carysfort Launch and Shuttle. This 26’ Oldport provides Members with an easy way to travel between Buccaneer Island, the Marina, and the Fishing Village. A fourth stop has just been added to pick up those parking at the new lot by Town Hall. The complimentary service runs Sunday – Thursday 10:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. (Note: the shuttle will not run on Christmas Day.) Learn more about the Carysfort Captains who will provide the short, yet delightful trip around The Reef on the adjacent page.

Introducing the Carysfort Launch Captains by Jim Leenhouts

With the addition of two highly experienced Marine Captains, Ocean Reef is now into the Marine transportation business. Carnival and Disney have little to worry about – yet. Presently the Ocean Reef line travels about 0.1 nautical miles to each of three stops – about the length of one large cruise liner – along the south side of the Martina. The shuttle plies between Buccaneer Island and the Fishing Village with two additional stops at the Dockmaster’s office and 121 Marina from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. every week day and 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The launch may be hailed for pick up by radio contact at each stopping point. The shuttle vessel, named CARYSFORT, is in line with the Ocean Reef Club’s transportation operations to airports. The launch shuttle will save 40 round-trip minutes of walking between Buccaneer Island beach and hotel areas to restaurants and shopping while providing a very interesting journey past the vessels in the Marina. The launch can transport 16 passengers and is suitable for persons with partially limited physical restraints such as use of canes. Who are they?

As with taxi and Uber drivers, airline crews, sight-seeing conductors and other people who haul us around and tell us what to look at, there is a natural fascination with the breed – who are they, how did they get their job, where are they from and etcetera, etcetera? Far be it from the purpose of this article to rob you of this fascination, but the two Captains, Jared Mats and David Dickinson that operate and maintain the

Jaret Mats

David Dickinson

Carysfort Shuttle Launch Business deserve an introduction to Ocean Reef Press readers for several reasons – their outstanding and similar qualifications, their eager, personal plunge to obtain this plum job at Ocean Reef and their dedication to their new career.`

from the USCG after 28+ years. He is an expert in munitions management, marine risk management and small boat specific capabilities that are commonly seen and admired on Annual Safe Boating Day at Ocean Reef in May.

Similar Paths to ORC

David Dickinson

First, their many similarities: Both are United States Coast Guard veterans who retired, with their families, to obtain this plum job – their past association and joint respect aided them in this endeavor. Both are USCG, 100 ton licensed. Both have in excess of 22 years broad experience in a variety of USCG assignments on the water and behind a desk – both prefer the water. Both have been Commanding Officers of USCG Stations. For the benefit of the members of the USGG Auxiliary at Ocean Reef, both feel indebted to the Auxiliary for its help in their jobs as Station Commanders. Both love what they are now doing: whom they meet, passing on interesting snippets from their interesting careers, maintaining their vessel and sharing their love of the water with kids – that must wear life jackets if 6 or under. Both stay up to date on what is happening at Ocean Reef through use of the ORC app. Jared Mats

Jared Mats is from the Houston, Texas area where the Gulf of Mexico waters noted for fishing created his early interest in boats and the sea. He and his wife, Jennifer, live in Tavernier very close to USCG Station Islamorada where he served recently as Commanding Officer. Their son, Dylen, is a student at University of Central Florida. Jaret retired

David Dickinson, desiring a Law Enforcement career as a youth living in Long Island, New York, chose the USCG, where, after training, eventually returned to Long Island to be stationed at Huntington Sound near his early

home. His career then led him to specialize into the high position of interdisciplinary unit deployment as a Search and Rescue Coordinator along the East Coast of the United States – a primary, expensive and broad area-wide USCG commitment. David has also served as Operations Officer on the large USCG cutters operating out of Key West into international waters. He and his wife, Kaeli, also a USCG retiree, live in Key Largo near the Intermediate School. They have a five year old daughter, Piper. Dave’s son, Adam, 19, resides in Jacksonville, Florida. To boost the new, public service, David and Jaret invite you join them for a complimentary trial round-trip run to note that this is a fully free service – probably thirty minutes to become acquainted with the new operation. In this way, you will familiarize yourself with the more scenic, time and cost saving connection between the twin activity centers of the Ocean Reef Club without walking or alternatively – as was always better going west on rising or east on falling tides – dogpaddling.

PLANE LATE? NOT TO WORRY ... WE’RE TRACKING YOUR FLIGHT!

PRESENTED BY MARY LEE This time of year is one of the great traditions at Ocean Reef. Welcoming back generations of families, all getting together for the holidays enjoying all our great club has to offer. Warm sunshine, great fishing & diving, tennis & pickle ball, golf, croquet, and the Legacy reunion. All great activities at the beach, street fairs, touch a truck & festival on the green for the kids! Ending with the grand finale on the beach with fireworks, dinner & music to ring in the New Year! My husband John and I feel privileged to give back to our great community. As Preferred Partners of the Ocean Reef Community Foundation Gala we have raised over $2 million with our donations since inception. Those donations included the Napa Valley Cult Wine Dinner, prepared by Master Chef Rich Rosendale; and a Napa trip, which included dinner at the French Laundry and play at the 26th Legends Invitational at Pebble Beach. We have also underwritten the Community Players musical at the Cultural Center, St. Patrick’s Day Rod & Gun Club “Miamians” and Friends of Tennis tournament. We were honored to have presented SEALs UP CLOSE & PERSONAL working with the great Ocean Reef Club events team, and fellow National UDT Navy SEAL Museum board member Don McClure. We underwrote the video of the event which was sent to all Ocean Reef members and can be viewed on the Ocean Reef Club website. We hosted a Dom Perignon reception for Medal of Honor recipient Jack Jacobs, Admiral & SEAL Bob Harward and SEAL Rick Kaiser for seventy very special guests.

Christmas Comes to Ocean Reef by Rev. Dr. Bob Henley

Everywhere you look at Ocean Reef, you will see signs reminding us that Christmas is coming. Twinkling lights are shining in the trees. Festive wreaths grace the light poles. Holiday music can be heard from the shops in the Fishing Village. A car has been spotted, decorated with Rudolph’s “red nose” and his reindeer antlers protruding from the rear windows. Soon golf carts carrying family members, young and old, will be almost as numerous as the geckos that scurry around our condos and homes. Tradition and family – two of the most important values at the heart of the club. As we get caught up in the hurry of the Christmas “rush” and the busyness of parties and celebrations, we can easily forget, or perhaps we have never known, that there is an event that gave

rise to the season. It took place in a small village on a quiet night in a land almost half a world away and two millennia ago in time. That event was the birth of Jesus, in Bethlehem, in Israel. There are two new symbols of faith on the lawn in front of the Chapel this season – the Menorah and the Creche. The Menorah and the Creche belong together. They remind us that the story of the birth of Christ is rooted in the life and hopes of the Jewish people. The crèche reminds us of the humility of God’s coming among us, in the birth of Mary’s child, born in a

stable and placed in a manger – a feed trough for the animals. The circumstances of His birth were not as pristine as the images suggest on many Christmas cards. We invite you to participate in two events with your family on Christmas Eve day. We hope they will help connect you and those you love with the heart of what took place – the event that gave rise to Christmas – the birth of Christ. The first event is a “Live Nativity.” This will take place in the parking lot of the Chapel at 12:30 PM. There will be people in costumes, a narration of the story, singing of

carols – and yes, lots of live animals – including a camel, donkey, a cow, and goats and sheep! Refreshments will be served following the presentation, and your children will be offered a gift, a small book that tells the story of Christ’s birth in a creative way, with beautiful illustrations. Be sure to stay there, because we will turn the animals from the nativity into a petting zoo for you and your family to enjoy. The second event is our traditional Christmas Eve Service of Carols and Lessons at 10:00 PM in the Chapel. Sitting in the quiet of the evening, hearing the story read again and celebrated in carols and special song will connect your mind and heart to the joyous announcement heard ringing across the hills of Bethlehem those many years ago. These words are as important today, as they were when heard that first Christmas night! “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth, peace to those on whom his favor rests.” We hope your participation in these events will be part of making this Christmas holiday at Ocean Reef a most special celebration for you and your family.

Happy Cows, Happy Chickens

Goldilocks test. After sending scouts to taste Sean’s meals in his previous position, Giovanni Melis, our VP of Food & Beverage, told him, “I want you to be the chef of my seafood restaurant.” “That was it,” Sean said, “He didn’t have to ask me twice.”

by Terry Baxter

Chefs Bernal and Andreu of the Islander are the Ocean Reef equivalent of the magic team of Penn and Teller. Sean Bernal, Chef de Cuisine for the Islander, is large and outgoing, and by self-assessment, “long-winded.” Eric Andreu is smaller and quiet, with a modest grin. He is the Sous Chef for the Islander. He actually had to be nudged by Sean to admit he was also the Chef de Cuisine for sushi everywhere on Ocean Reef. “For which he was named Manager of the Year,” Sean added with obvious pride and affection. They both love to talk about food. They are passionate, committed, and having so much fun it is probably illegal. They joined Ocean Reef on the same day three years ago, and have been a team ever since. Why Be Happy?

I came to talk to them about their search for happy cows and happy chickens and why it matters. Sean said, “We are believers in locally sourced products,

so we searched the entire area to identify produce, meat, poultry, and fish that was sustainable, hormone free, steroid free, and fresh. But more than that, cows, pigs, and chickens need to be able to forage. Free range,

grass fed beef, and chickens raised in open pens where they can scratch and eat bugs and worms.” Why? “Because happy equals stress-free. Stress causes lactic acid, affecting flavor and tenderness.” Eric added, “Store bought chicken is pumped full of water and hormones and has no flavor. We offer our members something they can’t usually get.” And the Fish?

I ask if the fish are happy too. “Of course,” Eric fires right back, “They swim free in the wild.” Fish is the real test of a chef: undercooked it is ruined, overcooked it is ruined. The

Sean is endlessly fascinated by fish – where they live, what they eat, are they fast, deep-water predators (tuna, wahoo, and swordfish), or stealthy reef dwellers (grouper and snapper). Each characteristic affects their taste, texture, and tenderness. I have to say the discussion left me distinctly inadequate as a meat and potatoes guy, eager to expand my seafood horizons. Sean introduced the “Fish Box,” where members pick their fish variety (only same-day caught fish, Sean emphasizes) and the preparation they want. “The ball is in the member’s court,” Sean says. “Many menus are ego driven, the chef tells you how it will be prepared. At The Islander we are member driven. You decide.” Sean and Eric compete over the fresh fish every day. They both say they come away happy, but admit there is frequently a “secret stash.” Eric has been crafting sushi for twenty-seven years. He is somewhat hardpressed to explain the art. Fresh and immaculate seafood, the expert slicing, combining of flavors and textures to produce the proper balance where it “spreads in your mouth with a perfect balance.” But he knows how to do it. Sean couldn’t resist interrupting again. “I blame Eric for ruining sushi for me,” he said, “Because now I can’t go eat sushi anywhere else.” They poked each other. Happy chefs, happy cows, happy chickens, happy members – a virtuous circle. Even Penn and Teller can’t produce magic like that.

Just Get to The Point! by Jody Steele

Jutting out in to the Atlantic Ocean is one of our most valuable and unique spots at Ocean Reef Club. This narrow “Point” of land and coral is all about location, location, location. Watching a sunrise, seeing fishing boats returning from another successful fishing trip, watching frolicking dolphins and diving pelicans, or reflecting on life is all possible on this mystical peninsula. Now this special place has a new “look” and you will want to visit it soon. A bit of landscaping changes, a few tiles added, a dressed up walkway, and most of all new furniture. Tables and chairs dot the landscape along with about a dozen comfortable rockers beckoning

you to enjoy the view. For additional enjoyment, the schedule for the coming holiday has been expanded for members. The cocktail bar on the Point will be open from 5:00-8:00 PM from December 23rd-28th and closed on the 29th. It will also be open on December 30th-January 1st. The morning beverage and pastries will still be available from 8:00-10:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday only. So during this busy holiday season, find some time with family and friends to gather at the Point. You probably will want to do some serious rocking, gaze at the view, and marvel at your blessings.

P O R T O’CALL WINE TA S TING

Port O’ Call Tours Spain & Portugal by Terry Baxter

The Reef was quiet and the daylight was short. But the lights twinkled overhead and the heat had moderated, so the faithful arrived to share one of Ocean Reef’s guilty secrets, the Port O’ Call wine tastings. Since Sean Carroll put the Port O’ Call tastings on the map, Micah Winecoff has charmed our suppliers into bringing us an ever-expanding tour of wine and spirit treasures. And Ocean Reefers certainly know how to sniff out opportunity -- one taster surveyed the crowd and said, “I almost had the golf course to myself this afternoon. I think everyone left at the Reef is here tonight.” It’s always fun to share a wine tasting with friends, so tonight I joined Geof and Mary Bloom, my long time neighbors from H Dock. Geof is somewhat of a wine grouch. He is proud that his favorite white is from Chile and only cost twelve dollars. “No one should ever pay more,” he declares frequently. But

who can resist a complementary tasting? An array of thirty reds and whites, and sparkling wines from Spain and Portugal, and even a couple of modestly priced bottles of Port and Sherry. Micah works overtime for us. Geof admits he drinks vodka and smokes cigars, “So my pallet isn’t what it used to be.” He now rates wines “drinkable” or “undrinkable.” He managed a smile once or twice as we worked the tables, but groused, “These wines are above my normal price point.” (a nose-bleeding average of $24). Most Geof declared “drinkable.” I considered several quite a cut above that, and Fair Patricia ordered

Visitors From Another Planet by Joan Birsh

I’m not talking about aliens from Mars. I’m talking about the Millennial- age (born after the 1980’s) family members and their friends, that many of you are expecting to visit over the holidays. You love them dearly but be prepared for a serious Culture Clash. Where’s the Charger?

I remember these children, who as toddlers were desolate when separated from a favorite security blanket, stuffed animal or (in one case) pacifier. Now that they are almost grown, they are just as attached to their iPhones. It’s their lifeline to one

another and the world. Even at the dinner table (very annoying and now forbidden at ours) they are coddling the phone in one hand and sub rosa checking messages. And OMG (that’s text talk) don’t let that battery run down. Where’s the charger? During their visit the magic of the iPhone and other electronic devices, comprise an endless topic of conversation. “Selfies” (pictures of yourself, taken by turning your phone’s camera around) are displayed and approved. Comparative

updates on the latest app, the funniest U Tube video (“Mutant Spider Dog”– in which a Polish prankster dressed his dog up as a giant tarantula and terrified an unsuspecting passerby), the newest rap album from iTunes. Engaging conversations that always leave me unengaged. Far from being sympathetic, like all the kids of their generation, they think old people using technology is hilarious. There are entire websites devoted to parental twitter failure or mangled attempts at texting: “15 Painfully Awkward Texts from Mom”; The Funniest Old People on Twitter”. What’s Funny?

These millennials put a lot of importance on being “smart and funny.” I can’t really attest how smart they are, since I seldom understand what they are saying. In the group there are “mumblers” and “speed talkers”. One young lady talks so fast that my husband Arthur says she would be great at reading the side effects on the TV drug commercials. Are they funny? I think so though I don’t always get (and often don’t like ) the joke. Examples: “How many Microsoft technicians does it take to screw in a light bulb? – “None. They would just declare darkness the new standard TM.” Or “She’s so stupid that she had to call 411 to get the number for 911.” When my favorite grand kids aren’t immersed in some obscure movie on Netflix, they are watching stand-up comedians on Comedy Central. They know them all and what their shtick is. The only one I’ve heard of is Louis CK and I don’t think I’ve ever watched him. The only television show all of us–old and young– seem to be hooked on is Game of Thrones. Two of my kids “binge-watched” the entire fourth season in one day. A surprising number of them have read all of the five enormous volumes. So have their grandparents.

Keeping Up Appearances

It seems that nobody in this generation is overweight, has acne, or crooked teeth (braces are a major accessory for every 8th grader). The girls have long hair, that they shampoo every day. Some of the older boys are working on beards. So are their fathers. What are they wearing? All I can tell you is that much of what my kids packed for their visit to our gated community did not comply with our Dress Code. Two of the boys had to go to the Golf Pro Shop to buy acceptable collared shirts. The girls couldn’t believe we don’t allow those short short shorts or jeans manufactured with built-in holes that are staples of their wardrobe. Fortunately they brought equally short dresses that satisfied both them and Joan the Shopper. Slow to Commit

What I love about the young visitors from another planet is that they are happy. They live in the present and are not overly concerned about the future. They don’t plan ahead and have difficulty committing to anything beyond the day after next. They travel in groups assembled at the last minute via their cell phones. They have lots of friends and they keep in constant touch. They seem slow to become couples or even think about marriage. Sex is important but not mysterious. How could it be when they have grown up viewing explicit sex scenes in movies and television?There’s a joke on the internet of a mother texting her daughter: baby, u r 14, I think its time we talk about sex. Daughter texted back – k, mom. tell me what u wanna know YOLO (popular text term for you only live once) There is much about this Millennial generation that I respect and admire. They are inquisitive, kind, not jealous or greedy. They are affectionate, open, generous, accepting and not terribly ambitious. That said, if YOLO is their mantra, then more power to them.

As I do so with gratitude for a great editor who will spot me a little extra time if I really need it, it occurs to me that having a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) at yearend is a lot like having an understanding editor midmorning on a noon deadline. Time and the IRS are not known for their flexibility, but along with the ORP, DAFs and the Ocean Reef Community Foundation are.

“The nursing students at Florida Keys Community College send a huge ‘Thank You’ to the Ocean Reef Community for your generous donation and support of nursing education in the Upper Keys. The Foundation’s recent support allowed the nursing program to purchase new vital signs monitors and infusion pumps for the nursing lab. These new additions will enable local nursing students to learn about and have ‘hands on’ experience with the current equipment that they will utilize in the field to care for patients in our area.” - Mark Roby, MSN, MBA-HRM, RN; Dean of Sciences & Nursing

The barrage of donations to our member charitable funds at this time every year is proof positive that this flexibility is needed, well used and very much appreciated. So, if you’re a procrastinator and

ss e n i p p Ha DenlitoveSHrIePdB!IG Smiles!

don’t know what donation checks you want to write or have time to do it at yearend, just write one check to your own named Foundation fund to get your 2016 tax deduction. Because DAFs have no

annual distribution requirement, having one enables you to then make donations to charity on your own timetable. And if you’re a planner whose plans haven’t come together as you’d hoped quite yet, your fund will afford you the extra time you need to perfect them before executing --along with your 2016 tax credit. That’s a real bonus, especially if you have a private foundation with a five percent payout requirement. An Ocean Reef DAF is even one up on a great editor because, when you are ready to make donations, we’ll do all the writing (of checks) and handle all the details for you with no fees whatsoever. What’s your deadline? As long as your donation is dropped off, transferred or postmarked by December 31st, your 2016 tax deduction is a done deal. We can even take care of the very simple agreement naming your fund next year.

Regift Yourself

Save the Date! by Susan Bohan

“Art League Canvas” by Gertrude Mann

For emphasis give yourself a gift you already possess—the gift of discovery. The greatest discovery of all is that you can change your future with a change of attitude. Shake things up. Sign up for a workshop or class that will lead you in a new direction. Meet new friends. The Art League beckons. Abstract Art

Instructor Ruth Langs has opened a window of free expression for many of our artists. Having fun is a given but how else does she lead her students to new awareness? She says, “ I welcome beginners by assuring them that abstract art has no preconceived ideas. I stress exploring freedom while being aware of emotions and form. This promotes creativity.” Ali Iz

Ali Iz

took the plunge of signing up for a workshop because his wife, Debbie, raved about her experience. His goal was to finish the day with a painting that will hang in his office. His canvas is filled with striated blocks of color. Tanya Wallace asserted that she is a novice who usually paints furniture and walls. Still, she was delighted with her heart inspired flower of sparkling orange. “It’s looking whimsical and contemporary. I love it.” she said. Langs will return for one day workshops in March and April.

Tonya Wallace

Book Club

Author/member Monique Domovitch charmed us with her review of “Scorpio’s Kiss.” She said that there are two kinds of authors..literary authors who excel at language and authors who can spin a good story. She put herself in the latter category. The next meeting of the Book Club will be on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 4:30 pm when Rev. Bob Henley will lead the discussion of “If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty” by Eric Metaaxas.

The Ardmore ceramic art collection returns to the Art League January 11-18. This will be the worldwide debut of an all new collection from those which sold out in under a week last year. Opening night, January 11, Fee Halstead, founder of Ardmore will also give a lecture in the Cultural Center highlighting the talented artists she has guided to create these unique African designs. So mark your calendar for this awe inspiring event. Further details to follow or stop by the Art League for additional information.

American Flyer by Mike Smith

We were on our way to grandmother’s house for Christmas. I always liked going there because there was something under the tree with my name on it. Every time. We stopped for gas. Dad got out and asked if anybody needed to go. My sister went. Dad washed the windshield. Just before he got back in, he asked again. Snow was beginning to fall and the world looked like a fairy tale. Ten minutes later I told dad I had to go. He said that he had just asked me and I didn’t go, so why would I have to go now. I said I gotta go. Mom said, I think you better pull over. Dad said he couldn’t have to go when he didn’t have to go ten minutes ago. I said that I really had to go. Mom said to pull over and stop. When the car came to a stop everybody looked at me. I told them I didn’t have to go anymore. Dad got out and opened my rear door. He told me to get out, then he put the floor mat on my seat and motioned for me to sit on it. He whispered when he was angry and he whispered something I could not hear distinctly, something

about Santa not visiting this year. Something like that. At least our windshield was clean. When we arrived at grandma’s, everybody went into the house, but I took a little walk. The air was cool and after a while my pants started to dry a bit and didn’t make a swishing sound when I took a step. Santa always came the night before at Grandma’s. The presents would be arranged neatly under her tree. I don’t know why but I always weighted powerful people. God was always the most powerful, then Santa Claus. Roy Rogers was next. I had a hard time picking between Roy and Tom Mix, but I figured Roy had two guns while Tom only had one. Then came dad. This created a dilemma. If Santa came last

night, would he have known that I was going to have an accident in the car in advance? He knew if I was bad or good, but did he know if I was going to be bad or good? Without being conspicuous, I tried to see the names on the presents. I walked past the tree several times, but I didn’t see my name. A hollow feeling developed in my stomach. Grandma announced it was time for dinner. I knew where I was going to sit because somebody had put a towel on the chair. My grandmother’s giblet gravy was the best in the world, but when I put the first spoonful of mashed potatoes and gravy in my mouth, I couldn’t swallow. Maybe I did swallow, but the food would not go down. I glanced back at the tree. Had I missed any of the packages? I tried to be nonchalant as I counted each one. There was my sister, mom, dad, grannie, and her sister, Aunt Maud. With me, that totaled six, but only five boxes were under the tree. My stomach felt like I had eaten too many green apples. After dinner, everybody sat around the tree while granny passed out the gifts. It was a tradition for as long as I could remember. She always would say upon picking up a present, “To such and such, from Santa”. We would then wait for the present to be opened, then make a big fuss and on to the next. She picked up the first and read the tag, “To Hazel (that’s my mom), from Santa.” Mom acted surprised and unwrapped the gift. It was a new General Electric waffle iron. I think dad liked it better than she did, but everybody made a big to-do. The green apples churned. “To Kenneth, from Santa.” She gave a present to dad. It was a chain saw blade sharpener. He really needed one.

I looked under the tree. Only three left. I started to sweat. “To Nancy (that’s my sister), from Santa,” she said. The box was big. It was the newest Barbie Doll. The one that when you tilted it, it said, “Momma.” Two left. The apples started to come up into my throat. “To Maudie, from Santa,” she said next and handed her the second to last package. It was a new rolling pin and Aunt Maudie was thrilled. Mom jumped up and picked up the last package, “To Grannie, from Santa,” she said as she laid the package on Grannie’s lap. I could tell it was heavy, but I couldn’t see clearly. My eyes filled with water and my chin was quivering so much the whole sofa shook. I didn’t want anybody to see me that way. I just turned and buried my face in the cushions. “Hmmm. Did we miss somebody?” Grannie said. I opened my eyes. “I think Santa left something in the out kitchen,” she said. I turned around and wiped my eyes. “Mikey, go check the out kitchen, just to be sure,” my mom said. The out-kitchen was on the other side of the house, and I covered the distance in world record time. I looked around frantically. A large, slender present was leaning up against the water heater. The tag said, “To Mikey, from Santa.” Dad came in and told me to bring it back to the living room. I opened one end, having no idea what was inside. Printed on the end of the box was the word, “American Flyer.” My spirits soared. I pulled out the whole train set, an engine, four cars and a caboose. Dad enthusiastically helped me get it running. We played with it for hours. I’ll always remember that day. Dad passed Roy Rogers on my list.

Awards of Excellence

and delivered with a smile,” wrote Tammy Rotenberry from HR in her nomination.

On Wednesday, December 7, Ocean Reef Club associates congregated in Carysfort Hall for the 4th Quarter Awards of Excellence celebration. Awards categories included Associate, Manager and Team of the Quarter, with the purpose of recognizing those associates who have gone above and beyond in serving Members, guests and each other. Also recognized at the 4th quarter awards ceremony were the yearly winners in the same categories, honoring those associates who stood out the most and made lasting impressions over the course of the previous year. “The fact that we celebrate excellence here says an enormous amount about who we are and what we are all about,” said Bob Schmetterer during his opening remarks. “It’s all about the level of excellence associates carry with them in everything they do.” One person who made an outstanding impact on his fellow Haitian associates during the 4th

Associates, managers and teams who won a quarterly award became eligible to win the award for the year. Vilma Hernandez from Reef Hut, Hayley Upton from Recreation, and Billy Ronk from Raw Bar were recognized as Associates of the Year. Eric Andreu from Islander was recognized as the Manager of the Year. The Team of the Year was awarded to the Golf Course Maintenance team for their hard work over the summer on our beautiful golf courses. As Schmetterer said during the ceremony, associates are Ocean Reef’s “secret sauce”. Without them, the Member experience wouldn’t be as remarkable as it is. While all associates are essential ingredients to this secret sauce, the Awards of Excellence nominees and winners’ extra effort has stood out during the past 4th quarter, as well as the year. Congratulations to all who were nominated for their dedication to Ocean Reef and its Membership.

Doug’s commitment to the associate training program helped him earn this prestigious award. “While we are serving our Members daily, Doug is serving us and helping us refine our skills, polishing our attitudes and elevating our competency,” said Allan Schweinberg of Vacation Rentals in his nomination of Doug.

Heads or Tails?

“Dot.calm” by Jane Silverman

“Family. It’ not an important thing. It’s everything” Michael J. Fox With the holidays on our doorstep, that means the annual southern migration of family to our front door.  I will go on record as saying they are always welcome (no, really!).  Nowadays, our extended family and step-family of brothers and sisters, in-laws, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren numbers 20+ (and growing).  Inevitably, their visits en masse mean rooms at the Inn, rented condos, and a call to our resident savior a.k.a. Rupert in catering. But what to do with family members ranging in age from sporty 13-year-olds to moody high schoolers, post grad workaholics to amazingly busy over 80’s? Here are some ideas to entertain the troops and create some memories

at the same time.  

A Hunting We Will Go

Let’s give credit where credit is due: I discovered GooseChase (www.goosechase.com) -- an amazing photo scavenger hunt app -- from my go-to guy for fun (Garrett in Recreation). Step One: everyone downloads the app onto their smartphone.  Step Two: a game name is created and team members log onto it through their smartphone to find the list of items in the hunt.  Step Three: a hilarious wild goose chase ensues with even the youngest members taking photos and videos of their team jumping in the air, creating a human pyramid, dangling spoons off the tips of their noses, and more. Step Four: upload the

The Heads Up! app (www.headsup.com) is a 21st century family classic, reinventing the game of charades for the “app generation”.  Invented by TV personality Ellen DeGeneres, you literally hold the phone up to your forehead with the screen facing outwards and guess the words on the screen using your friend’s verbal clues. It’s fast and funny and fun!   Just Dance!

One of my goals as a mom of two boys was that they learn how to dance. So, for years, before I let them play the video games they really wanted to play (something about plants and aliens…??) they had to each reluctantly practice dance moves with the game Just Dance Now. Future girlfriends and wives: you’re welcome! It’s easy to download the app onto everyone’s smartphone and visit www.justdancenow.com on an internet connected screen (smart TV, computers, etc.)  to

sync phones to the video. Choose your favorite song and while holding your phone(s) dance along to the figures. Songs are mostly fast paced pop songs but there is a kids’ section and the Trio and Quartet section choreography is fun for teens.  A free download and then $2.99 for 24 hours or $3.99 for the month with over 200 songs and dance moves for as many family members as you can drag on the dance floor.    Making Magic

The White House’s 1600 app and a dollar bill will make you the coolest grown-up in (and out) of the beltway. Download the app and click start to bring a dollar bill to life.  Point your camera at George Washington for an interactive experience about the White House.  Tilt the camera in all different angles to get the full effect. It only lasts for a few minutes but HEY it’s free and magical. Just like any “trick”, it takes practice behind closed doors to impress your jaded family audience. Happy Holidays to one and all, and remember, “Families are like fudge – mostly sweet with a few nuts.”

An Afternoon of Commendation and Fellowship with the Coast Guard Auxiliary By Linda Klimowicz, Coast Guard Auxiliary Commander

The Ocean Reef Coast Guard Auxiliary celebrated their Change of Watch on Monday, Dec. 12, a momentous occasion whereby officers appointed and elected are sworn in to accept the responsibilities of their positions for the upcoming year. They have now taken the pledge to maintain the high standards set by the USCG and abide by the core values of honor, respect, and devotion to duty. This year’s officers of the USCG, Sector of Key West and Islamorada, Head of Auxiliary Division, members of the Auxil-

iary and guests joined them. Many special awards were presented in the areas of years devoted to service in the Auxiliary, Operations, Sustained Service Awards, and Vessel Exams. One of our members, Linda Benn, received a major commendation award for her efforts in providing our monthly newsletter, the Reef Tides. She administers and executes this excellent publication and puts in endless hours producing a journalistic pearl. Execution, Teamwork, Partnerships

A sincere thank you was initiated by Captain and Commander Jeffrey Janszen of Sector Key West, who is responsible for over 55,000 square nautical miles of waterway and coastline. He reflected on the accomplishments of the Keys Flotillas in the areas of “Mission Execution, Teamwork, and Partnerships”. He went on to say the Flotilas perform a tremendous num-

Annie’s Story

 Is She Safe?

Believe in Kindness by Barbara Olcott

The biggest treat I can think of for my two small dogs (Annie, a 14 pound Daisy dog and Sally, a 10 pound Havanese) is to take them for a golf cart or car ride. Today it was a car ride.With the window rolled down just so they can stick their furry faces into the wind, their eyes tightly shut, their fur plastered against their little heads, they were in heaven. My house keeper of 28 years, who loves my dogs as much as I do, was taking them for a special treat which was to visit her grandchildren who live in Homestead. Her son, a public safety officer at Ocean Reef, lives in a gated community in Homestead where several Ocean Reef associates live. After spending several hours with her grandchildren, she put “the girls” back in the car which was parked in her son’s driveway. Having forgotten something in the house, she locked the car doors, cracked the windows open and ran back into the house. Within that minute, someone broke into the car and stole my wonderful ten-year old Annie.  Some person had obviously seen the dogs walking around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, this is a very common occurrence, as the police officer told her when she reported the crime. Annie is little and cute and does not have an aggressive bone in her little body. These kinds of dogs are targets, particularly this time of year. Dogs are taken out of cars, from front lawns, behind fences, all the time, especially around Christmas. They are sold by desperate people for next to nothing.

Annie Olcott, safe at home.

Devastating News

Devastated, my house keeper, her family and their friends frantically searched the area for several hours.  No Annie. Returning to my house with only one dog, she had to tell me what had happened that afternoon.  I could only hug her, I was numb, I don’t know which one of us felt worse. The only thing I could think to do was to offer a reward for the safe return of my dog. I sat, shaking, at my computer and found a recent picture of Annie and started making a missing dog poster: cash reward, no questions asked.  My printer failed to work, or I was failing to think straight.   Desperate, I called Donna Wogan at the Cultural Center, who adores dogs, has been my dog-sitter and is the “mother” of my Havanese, now an “only dog”. She knows me well and could hear the horror in my voice. Thankfully, her husband Tom was at the Cultural Center.  I grabbed my laptop and headed there.  Donna and Tom took charge and together we crafted a missing dog poster.  Donna had called a number of Ocean Reef associates who live near that area to ask if they would put this poster on their facebook and hand out flyers in the area.  Everyone offered to help.  The love and support was overwhelming.

Just as we were about to push “send”, my cell phone rang.  A man’s voice asked if we were missing a dog.  My heart dropped. Answering “yes, is she ok, is she safe, can I pick her up, where do you live?”  “I found her on the street” he said, “she is safe and is playing with my children.  This is my address.” It was now 7:45pm, not exactly a great time for a small blond “elderly”…(because if anything had happened that’s how the newspaper would have reported any mishap), woman to be driving into an unknown area in Homestead.  Tom Wogan, dear man that he is, offered to drive. Having only his address and no name, we arrived at the gate of his condo community.  The guard called the cell number I had and we were allowed in.  Finding the address, Tom and I got out of the car.  Coming toward us was this tattooed, tank-topped, bearded man being pulled by Annie, all 14 pounds of her, pink leash and all.    “Barbara?”, he asked?  “Yes”, I said, “I cannot tell you what this means to me”.  He explained that he was walking on the street with his kids when a man offered to sell Annie for $20.  It was Christmas and she was the perfect present.  Taking her into his house, he noticed that she did have a collar with her name and my cell phone number.  Thank God he called.  I was prepared to give him some sort of reward and had cash in my pocket. Offering the money, he declined saying only that he would take $20 reimbursement. I insisted explaining that this little creature that he so graciously returned is more precious to me than anything in the world (as my sweet husband reminds me is true) and this is the least I could do.  Thankfully, he took it and I hugged him.

Overjoyed and Overwhelmed

Overjoyed is an understatement, but whatever I was feeling, Tom and I drove back to Ocean Reef feeling overwhelmed by what had just happened.   A few minutes after getting into the car, my cell phone rang.  It was this man whom I now referred to as “the true Santa”.   He said he just wanted me to hear the joy coming from his household.  He told me that this money meant he was going to be able to buy Christmas gifts for his family.  He had lost his job a few days earlier and his former employer told him that he would not get paid until after Christmas. It was then that I realized I didn’t know his name.  It is Richard.  We are now texting buddies and I know that he has an eleven year old boy who loves basketball and a two year old son, both of whom he adores. He is a good man.  He doesn’t know where I live or anything about my life.  He is just a good man.  I will make sure his kids have the best Christmas they have ever had. Believe in Kindness

I know this sounds like one of the Hallmark ads or one of the stories that you read on the internet.  It happened.  I could not have done this alone and cannot thank Donna and Tom enough for giving up a night of their lives to help me.  Also, the many ORC associates that were willing to help. I believe in the goodness of strangers, of mankind and most importantly, the willingness of people to just do the right thing. Having a moral compass isn’t something that we hear a lot about these days.  This is the season to believe and love and count all your blessings. And yes, hug your dogs.

Block vs. Random

MGA News:

“Golf Tip” by Brian Varsey, Head Teaching Professional

Practicing the same shot from the same place multiple times is block practice and is best when you are trying to learn a new motion or change a motor pattern. Hitting every shot from a different condition is random practice and best when you are trying to transfer

LGA’s first yoga class on the driving range, taught by Amanda Prachnick, went well and we will be scheduling more in the new year after the craziness of the holidays. As always keep an eye out for LGA Clinic emails. Don’t forget about the Green Tee Invitational! Signups are open and if you are looking for a Member and Guest to partner up with for the event we will gladly find you a pair! Toski’s has now re-opened! Check out the new upgraded menu and atmosphere. Our TeeTalks will begin soon and we will let you all know once the schedule is finalized!

skills to take to the golf course. Psychologists have proven that even if your motion isn’t perfect, when you have more random practice the things you learn stay with you better and help you more when you are on the course playing. Knowing this, make sure that much of your practice is random in nature and not just the same shot over and over. You will more effectively play on the course, especially in pressure situations. Check out some of the upcoming clinics, short game and AimPoint Green Reading on the 29th, and the Golf Fitness class on Wednesday mornings from 7:308:30. Also, come to the Academy of Golf to sharpen your skills and have more fun golfing. Happy Holidays!

Assess your Situation

Each Season, right around the beginning of the New Year, we offer the “Healthy Living and Weight Loss Program” at the Member Fitness Center.

Have you been gaining weight? Feeling sluggish, worried, lazy, lethargic, “old” or sick? Is it time to make some changes? Watch out for excessive celebrating

Are you “partying” a lot? - Too much alcohol, appetizers, sugar and big portions? Could it be catching up to you?

Know that falling off doesn’t mean disaster (or giving up)

It’s never too late. And small changes make up to big benefits. Your health matters at any age, size or chapter in your life. Taking care of yourself benefits everyone around you, but especially you. Build your Healthy Lifestyle and establish healthier patterns

It’s not always easy to make changes, but with help, education and motivation you can do it. A small tweak here and a little-less- o- this-or-that can easily equate to healthier patterns that make losing weight and feeling great attainable. Keep yourself accountable (but don’t worry about perfection)

Joining a group or using a counselor or coach gives you someone to report to. The professional fitness industry, medical field, and counseling

industry will attest to the benefits and great results wrapped around accountability. Just having a plan and sharing it with someone can make the greatest of goals come into fruition. Commit

Bridge Tip At The Table

You open 1D and partner responds 1H. What is your rebid?

SPECTACULAR PROPERTIES

♠AK54 ♥Q862 ♦AQJ103 ♣Void 4H. A “normal” 16-pt. hand would be worth only a raise to 3H, but you have a strong side suit and good distributional values here. Adding in 3 pts. for the void, your hand is worth 19 pts. in support of hearts, so be sure you raise partner to game in his suit immediately. ♠AQJ ♥4 ♦AJ7652 ♣KJ3 2D. Your choice is between 2D, showing 13-15 pts., and 3D, showing 16-18 pts. With your poor suit and a singleton in partner’s suit, your best choice is probably the underbid of 2D. If partner invites game, you can accept -- and be happy to contribute more than promised instead of less.

15 North Bridge, “Coco Loco” Waterfront Basin View, 7/6.5 Beach Area, 200’ water frontage Listed for $4,200,000

♠Void ♥J106 ♦AK1074 ♣AKQ93 3C. Your good suits and 3-card support for partner make this hand worth a jump-shift to force to game. You may be able to raise hearts later if partner shows more than 4. If he had instead bid 1S, you should rebid only 2C to keep the bidding low until you find a fit. You open 1S and partner responds 2S. What is your rebid?

♠KJ10943 ♥6 ♦AJ92 ♣A4 3D. This hand has minimum point-count, but once you find the spade fit, it’s worth 17 pts. -- 13 pts. in high cards, plus 2 pts. for the singleton, 1 pt. for the doubleton and 1 pt. for the extra trump (partner promised at least 3-card support, so you know you have at least 9 trumps). Your 3D bid is a game-try bid that shows your second suit and invites partner to bid 4S if he has help in diamonds or has a full 2S raise. ♠KJ1094 ♥K6 ♦KQ4 ♣AJ9 2NT. You need general high-card strength from partner to make 4S, so show your balanced hand with a game-try of 2NT. Partner will return to 3S with a minimum response or bid 4S with a maximum 9-10 pts.

POWER OF TWO, WORKING FOR YOU!

Partner opens 1C, you respond 1H and partner raises to 2H. What is your rebid?

♠KJ5 ♥Q642 ♦KJ3 ♣J54 Pass. With most 11-point hands, you would want to invite game, but this one has such poor trick-taking potential that your best choice is pass. The weak trumps, no aces and flat distribution all make your hand drop in value. ♠ 7 ♥KQ1054 ♦1092 ♣A975 4H. You could invite game by bidding only 3H (or making a gametry bid of 3C), but partner will pass with many minimum hands that could easily take 10 tricks. Your extra trump and the singleton make this hand worth at least 12 pts., and the fit in partner's club suit makes it even more powerful.

Rod and Gun Club Corner by Capt. Jack Salisbury

The December fish of the month, sponsored by Marine Max, is Mutton Snapper (Lutjanus analis) a tropical species of Atlantic costal waters and the Caribbean to Brazil. As the name suggests, they are excellent table fare. They can be found in creeks, patch reefs and from the reef edge out to several hundred feet of water. New regulations effective Jan.1,2017 raise the minimum size limit from 16 to 18 inches. The possession limit in 2017 is a maximum of five Mutton Snapper as part of the aggregate 10 snapper bag limit. We are fortunate to have a healthy population of Mutton Snapper in Ocean Reef waters. So how do you catch Mutton

Fish of the Month: Mutton Snapper.

Snappers. In the Creeks try chumming and drifting back a live shrimp. On the patches a live pinfish or whatever live bait you have can be effective. Slow trolling a swimming plug such as a YoZuri over patches way back, 200 feet on a 40# fluorocarbon leader using a 20# Spinner is another tactic, you might hook up a Grouper or Cero Mackerel as well. Fishing wrecks and structure in

60-200 feet can produce larger Muttons. Use enough weight to hold bottom and a long 30 foot leader as Muttons have very good eyesight and can be difficult to fool. Live pinfish, ballyhoo or pilchards will all work as well as a butter flied dead ballyhoo. Drift from deep to shallow over live bottom and watch you sonar. Mark productive spots for future trips.

If you catch a large Mutton be sure to have it weighted at the Marine Max Tackle Shop. There is $50 in Marine Max store credit for each of the following : the Rod and Gun Club member catching the largest Mutton Snapper, a Guest of a R&G member and a Junior angler award. Every month there is a different species featured. Upcoming events include the Holiday Off-Shore and Reef Fishing Tournament on Dec. 28th and Family Day at the Range on Dec. 29th. If you are not a R&G Member go to the website for an application: rodandgun.org or pick one up at Marine Max along with a 2016-17 schedule of events. Benefits include discounts at Marine Max and Orvis, how to seminars and special events. Finally a special shout out to R&G Member Nina Patterson who recently caught her first Permit on Fly in Belize!

Warmest Wishes FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND

Happy New Year! We truly appreciate your past and continued patronage.

The Elves Delivered “Croquet News” by Ron Sekura

The buzz of the holidays is in the air. On Tuesday evening members of the Ocean Reef Croquet Club gather together for their monthly “Under the Lights,” an event which takes place the third Tuesday of the month. But the December event is especially fun because it combines the joy of the holiday season with the some serious croquet and good

eating. Oh! The Elves were so kind in what they provided. Red and white wines to drink, little sandwiches to eat made of shrimp, ham and cheese, and eggs stuffed to please and other goodies made tummies that were appeased. And then there were the sweets that many ate without respite: baklava,

cookies and cherry delight. Even with full bellies and spirits raised from our libations we all managed to wander out and enjoy a lovely evening under the lights. Pushing our little balls of blue, red, black, and yellow challenging our competitor’s skill and making a wicket even with senses muddied by the little swill. But the holiday season brought even more excitement. One Friday morning we were out there playing Six Wicket when there were sounds of clanking and clatter. What could it be? Then out from behind the Tiki Hut Santa and his Elves appeared. Santa was cheery and asked if we had been bad or good. Good, of course we all replied. Then make a wish for a Christmas surprise. Art was first and asked for a seven wicket run. Ron Sekura went next and asked

for a smoother stroke. Then came Marusa Judy who longed for a jump shot. Joan Ruffing, with her turn, started singing “Santa Baby….. please bring me a croquet bracelet with a clasp of sapphires and rubies with diamonds chocolate and yellow shining so bright.” Then Marusa joined in singing: a set of Croquet Earrings would be oh so nice, the perfect ware when making a jump shot with style and flair. And then off and away went Santa and his Elves to prepare all the packages and gifts to bring Christmas Cheer. All of us, children at heart, are waiting to see what will appear in our stockings on Christmas Day.

Headlines from The Reef 2016

Oh, The Places You’ll Go From soaring to high heights and seeing great sights, these things are all fun, let’s never be done.

The weekly news that fills the pages of the Ocean Reef Press is certainly illustrative of the Unique Way of Life Members have come to know and love on The Reef. From construction updates to pickleball champions, wine tastings to environmental issues, here is a look back at a few of the headlines from 2016: JANUARY

Join us in celebrating our great season and help us welcome in the new year. Family Pre-Party

Reef Reflections

OR “See”

A New Year’s Love Letter to Ocean Reef “Pockets of Passion” by Joan Birsh

Spread the Light: Master electrician John Altieri lights up the Menorah on the first night of Hanukkah. He is assisted by Aaron Schmidt – the grandson of Judy and the late Aaron Schmidt.

A little history first —Twenty-three years ago a small cadre of Ocean Reef residents (Alan Goldstein, Tom Davidson and Dick Farmer in the forefront) persuaded their friends and neighbors to invest time and money in a plan to buy the Ocean Reef Club from the owner Carl Lindner. I love that these OR pioneers were brave enough and smart enough to envision a member owned club with world class facilities. They were especially smart and brave, and most certainly persuasive, considering the property was in shambles after a big hit by hurricane Andrew. So thank you one and all for that. Gift is Inside

But the vision didn’t stop there. Over the years, new buildings were constructed-- Cultural Center, Town Hall, Chapel, Medical Center, Academy, Art League, a Fitness Center, Tennis & Games Center, complete now with Pickleball (what have I missed?). But those are only brick (well not brick) and mortar. The real gift for us members is what happened inside them. For each of these impressive edifices, as well as the golf, tennis and croquet courts, presented an opportunity for all of us to discover one, maybe several, of what I call “Pockets of Passion,” the impressive selection of involving, in some cases life-changing, activities The Reef offers its members. I’ve heard many stories of members, who feel their life was aided or enhanced by discovering a passionate new interest at

Ocean Reef. A retired businessman, who had never held a paint brush, produced delicate watercolors in a beginners class at the Art League. A couple with an injured child found support in a Bible Study group at the Chapel. A woman, who hated exercise, became addicted to Zumba at the Fitness Center. A lonely widow looked to Mahjong for needed distraction. A corporate retiree discovered croquet. Several Reefers, who had never been to an opera, were so inspired by the Met’s HD showings at the Cultural Center, they made a pilgrimage to New York to see Rigoletto. Cliché but True

It has been said that the ultimate luxury is choice. And the vast array of choices Ocean Reef offers its members is the penultimate reason I love it. Cliché, I know, but true --there really is something here for everyone. And an important by-product of involvement in one, many or all of these intriguing choices is the opportunity to get to know other members equally excited about the experience. Reach into a Pocket of Passion at Ocean Reef and you will come up with a fistful of self-satisfaction and the ultimate prize of some really valuable friendships. Ask any of the members what they like best about Ocean Reef and they invariably say “the people, the friends I’ve made here.” Looking back over my own life, I’ve had lots of what I call “accidental friends”-- neighbors, high school and college buddies, parents with kids the same age as mine, colleagues at work. Some survived the test of time, most dissolved after the circumstances that brought us together changed. At Ocean Reef I’ve met and connected with people I really enjoy and care about. In some cases “true friends.” I am certain this little chunk of real estate is a veritable incubator for friendships? So Happy New Year, Ocean Reef. We love you.

The nurses are enjoying a spacious, patient -accessible station, physicians’ offices are renovated and equipped with ergonomic computer stands and the lobby has new patient seating. The laboratory is conveniently located in the rear of the building with a dedicated entrance. Upstairs is the redesigned and expanded visiting specialist’s area with sufficient space to accommodate the multiple

specialties that visit on a weekly basis. Physical therapy has doubled in size and the administration area has expanded to include a new meeting room. Private Medicine Plus and mental health services are located adjacent to physical therapy in a sunlight filled area. Other renovated spaces include treatment rooms, exam rooms, storage lockers for visiting specialists’ supplies, a dedicated Wellness testing room and an improved audiology -testing booth. Compared to other resort communities, the Medical Center’s services are truly un-paralleled and just a golf cart ride away.

Resolutions Solutions by Yurianna Mikolay Executive Director Ocean Reef Community Foundation

Time flies! Here we are reviewing the year, chilling Champagne and readying our resolutions again. About half of Americans make New Year’s resolutions. Not to put a damper on the celebration, but studies show only eight percent are successful in achieving them. Surprisingly, the Foundation can actually lend a helping hand with several of the most common resolutions. Chief among these are to “Volunteer” and “Do More for Charity” in the New Year. We offer many services to help

accomplish your personal philanthropic goals. Take advantage of our Charity Tours and complimentary Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), get involved with the All Charities effort and connect to volunteering opportunities beyond the gate, just for starters. If “Learn Something New” is on your list, we’re here with expertise on local needs and charities and resources far and wide. Another popular resolution is to “Get Organized.” Charitable funds are a simple way to streamline and organize giving. Instead of writing dozens of checks and attempting to corral as many receipts, a DAF lets you time your contributions for maximum tax advantage and delivers one clear statement consolidating both your tax deductible contributions and all your outgoing gifts to charity each year. We do the work, you get the credit. If you’re reading this on Friday, there’s still time to drop off or postmark a donation by the 31st to open a

named fund for your 2016 deduction and a more organized 2017. “Spend More Quality Time with Family” is the dearest of resolutions and involves a key component of successful family philanthropy. Ocean Reef Community Foundation will begin offering a membership to the National Center for Family Philanthropy with all DAFs in early 2017. The NCFP Online Knowledge Center features an abundance of resources to help families share, maximize and pass on philanthropic values. Among these, their “Generations Together” program provides a curated collection of effective and enjoyable activities to introduce youth to family philanthropy and prepare family members for transitions and future leadership roles. It’s a heartening reminder that, while the years keep flying by, what we resolve to do in the year ahead can have a meaningful impact for generations to come.

Start Off Smart (Subliminal?) Thank You Message

“Thank you to the Ocean Reef Community for enabling the Homestead Police Athletic League and Start Off Smart, Inc. to provide life changing support and direction to children who have been exposed to violence within their homes and community. We have all seen the traumatic impact that violence can have on our children. Through your generosity these children are provided with a safe haven to go to every day, in a nurturing environment where they can express their fears and concerns. Through positive direction they are given the opportunity to plan for a future free of violence. The simple expression of a thank you does not seem adequate when you consider the life changing impact ORCF has provided to our community.” Sandra Nanni, Director

Blazing an Old Trail The History of the Blazer

As with many great endeavors this one started in a boat, in England on a cold winter morning in the early 19th century. Some of the first College athletes of that time participated with the Cambridge or Oxford Rowing Clubs for their University and during their many practice sessions they needed a way to keep warm. So they started with flannel rowing jackets. Comfortable and warm mixed with a sense of pride to be in the rowing club they were the precursor to today’s “letterman” on the college campus, as they began to wear their rowing jacket more often as a casual garment outside of the boathouse. But these were far from normal flannel jackets. Typically the jackets were adorned with ribbons of

many colors, stripes and piping, they had designs created to help spectators easily identify their favorite rowing team from the distant shore. By the mid 1800’s these rowing jackets were so common on campus many formal Englishman declared their concern that this casual jacket should stay in the boathouse where it belongs. How ironic then that this was to be the jacket that would become the very definition of sporting and social Clubs. Blazing Red

One rowing jacket in particular stood out more than others. The Lady Margaret Boat Club jackets from St. Johns College in Cambridge were red. Not just an ordinary red but a blazing, bright, fiery glowing hue of red. So while other rowing jackets were called over jerseys or coats these wellknown Lady Margaret Jackets were nicknamed “Blazers”. And over time, just as many brands lost the right to their trademark, cricket, tennis and golf started to

see their jackets also referred to as blazers. So much so that in the book “Rowing Blazers” by Jack Carlson, he cites a letter from a disgruntled student to the Daily News in 1889 “…A blazer is the red flannel boating jacket worn by the Lady Margaret, St. Johns College, Cambridge, Boat Club. When I was at Cambridge it meant that and nothing else. It seems now that a blazer means a color flannel jacket…” Blazers Required

As with any popular sport rowing had its own version of Championships and the most popular took the form of a regatta that was the place to see and be seen in the early 1900’s. Here, the formality was just as important as the races themselves, and clubs were required to wear their “blazers” for the entire event. But this requirement extended even further to include appropriate hats, bow ties and related attire. Women were required to adhere to a specific dress code for hem length and even alumni were

encouraged to show their spirit and wear their rowing club’s colors. But for these older gentlemen the loose fitting blazer, designed to be worn while rowing, was not appropriate for their non-athletic use (and perhaps bodies to match) so began the more formal tailoring of the blazer to better fit for use as a dress jacket. We have come a long way from the rowing clubs of England and that boat. Today we still see specific colored blazers tied to sporting clubs, the green jacket of The Masters and the blue of Wimbledon. These blazers are often further adorned with a crest on the breast pocket. Ocean Reef Club recently provided Crests for our Equity Members to wear on a blazer of their choosing. While Ocean Reef does not have a flamboyant blazer design these crests are most appropriate and most often seen on a navy blazer. Any member can purchase a Club Crest in the Club’s Signature Shop. (No rowing experience necessary!)

At the Cultural Center The Campus’s Film Seminar Series Legendary Film Directors

When viewing a film, the audience sees only what the camera shows them, and everything seen is manipulated by the director making the film. Four of the most renowned 20th century directors and their work will be the subject of our Film Seminar series this year. Each discussion will be led by a distinguished expert on the director from the University of Miami School of Communications. On four Tuesday mornings participants will meet in a small discussion group and break down the film and identify the creator’s technique and style. Join us for this chance to

develop your understanding of film and filmmaking, no previous experience is required!  January 10, Scott Eyman – John Ford and Classic Hollywood Auteur Style

What is the role of a movie director, and when do you know you are seeing the work of a film “author” on the screen?  What are some identifying marks of such masters as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, or Billy Wilder? Through an examination of John Ford’s, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, learn more about the epic director, the western genre, and film authorship from the New York Times bestselling author and esteemed historian Scott Eyman. January 31, Jeffrey Stern – Francis Ford Coppola and New Hollywood Directions

What defines directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, Robert

Altman, and Martin Scorsese as trailblazers of a “New Hollywood”? A close look at Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation illuminates the many ways these filmmakers changed the direction of American cinema for generations to come, bonded by their independent, “outsider” sensibilities. Join Emmy-award winning sound editor Jeffrey Stern for a discussion of how the director combines “sound point-of-view” with “visual point-of-view” to create this tour de force. February 21, Ruth Reitan – François Truffaut and the French New Wave

Few film movements would have as dramatic or lasting an impact on cinema worldwide than the French New Wave of the 1960s. As auteur theory was born, written by such young iconoclasts as François Truffaut, so too was a generation of artists who resisted categories.

Truffaut’s irreverent (and unpredictable) yet thoughtful Jules and Jim offers an ideal example of the French New Wave’s dual obsession with American studio–bred directors and desire to break with all that had come before – in favor of a more personal aesthetic.  April 4, Thomas Musca – Billy Wilder and the ‘Writerly’ Auteur

Considered a master of genres – whether comedy, romance, or film noir – Billy Wilder graces many “top ten” lists celebrating the greatest American directors of all time. Yet he is most acclaimed for his writing, calling into question many original tenets of auteur theory. Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Tom Musca highlights the role of story, script, and performance in Some Like It Hot-one of the most beloved – and hilarious – movies of Wilder’s career.

Safe and Secure Here by Mary Brady

Timothy M. James came to Ocean Reef after serving as the Vice President and Chief Development Officer of the Lexington Medical Center and Health Service District, a hospital with 415 beds in the midlands of South Carolina. James spent a good portion of his professional career in the Public Safety arena.  He progressed through the ranks as Director where he managed law enforcement and fire suppression services for the City of Cayce, SC. He also established himself as an innovative law enforcement administrator. In 1999, he became Assistant Sheriff of Lexington County, and soon thereafter assuming the additional duties of Director of Public Safety overseeing the daily operations of County Communications, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Service and Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security Services, all of which encompassed more than 650 personnel. James was later appointed to serve as the Assistant Director for the state agency where he managed Operations for the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED); specifically overseeing all law enforcement and Homeland security operations for the State of South Carolina.  He remained in that position until his retirement from full-time law enforcement. Earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice, Tim James is also a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy, the FBI Command College, Drug Enforcement Leadership, Secret Service Academy, Naval Post Graduate School of Homeland Security and the JFK School of Government at Harvard University. Early Start

Tim began his life-long Public Safety career as a Cadet at Public Safety at age 12 in Cayce, South Carolina.  There at that same

Public Safey fleet

agency he worked hard for 24 years working through the ranks to ultimately become the Director and Chief. Coming to Ocean Reef

Having met David Ritz twelve years ago at the JFK School of Government, David suggested that if Tim ever retired, he should consider coming to Ocean Reef.  James tucked that tidbit of information away, and upon retirement thought of Ocean Reef. Now into his second season at The Reef, Tim says, “Relationships are primary, therefore establishing relationships and grasping a good understanding of what our role as Public Safety must be is a priority; then sharing and showing that we are here to serve the Members of Ocean Reef is our top priority.”  “While Experience in the field is crucial, we must understand and relate to the people that we serve.” Public Safety Growth

Over the last year, the Public Safety Team has made significant growth.  We have decreased our response time to medical emergencies, and we are going to mirror that response plan with all other emergency calls. Emergency training on and off duty for personnel is important, and we will always spend time training.  We are happy to report a less than 3- minute response time to get to medical emergencies. This impressive response time is in the top percentage of the United States.  “While our ultimate goal is to safely get to the scene, we will continue introducing methods that will further reduce the response times, as time is life.”  Tim has seen to it that each patrol officer ALWAYS has a medical bag in their respective vehicle, allowing them direct response to the call with everything they might immediately need.  He likens this approach to the old-fashioned

house call doctor who always had his bag ready for any call.   Last year Ocean Reef Public Safety acquired a new ambulance that came as a grant from Monroe County.  Last May, we got a new Fire Truck, which will be part of that same grant.  That will be over 1 million dollars in equipment from a grant that David Ritz submitted.  There are 6-7 officers on a shift that work in Fire, EMS and Security 24 hours a day.  If two of those people have to take a person off the Reef to a hospital, we are left with 5 on duty.  It takes about 2 hours to transport a person to Baptist or Homestead Hospital and get back to the Reef.  There is a lot of juggling to cover all the bases. James stresses the constant education and instant review of all duties so that the officers will do their job without having to think about it. Work Smarter

We ask the Community to become educated in using the AED because Members are on the scene before the EMT’s arrive.  That immediate action can mean the difference between life and death. CPR and Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) classes are held regularly. Your participation may mean the difference between life and death.   We are blessed with enhancing technology.  We want to “Work smarter and harder, and we can do it through technical enhancing cameras. Through a partnership between the Club and ORCA, ‘Smart Cameras’ have now been placed around the waterways for added security.”  Our Public Safety dispatch now has the ability to locate each vehicle by GPS and then dispatch the closest officer directly to the call - all much faster! Mr. James emphasized a big THANK YOU to the Ocean Reef Community Association Board

Fire/Paramedic Officer with Medic Bag in vehicle (for first responder)

Tim James

of Directors, because they have demonstrated and supported all the efforts to improve Public Safety and have lent a listening ear and help to Public Safety.  Our goal is for the Community to feel safe here, and we are fortunate to have a Board that supports Public Safety with that mission in mind.  When we call 911 from our cell phones, the signal pings off the closest tower, which gets the person directly to Ocean Reef.  James is proud of the Public Safety officers and said, “The majority are triple trained in Security, Fire and Paramedics.”  They all walk with passion and respond with vigor!    We are equally proud of the Community that has been so welcoming and respectful to all of our officers.  Tim is happy to tell you about Public Safety and what he and his team do.  He encourages you to invite him to any group meetings you may have to allow him the opportunity to brag about his team, and tell you all about Public Safety.  We are lucky to have such a qualified, caring and goal-oriented person heading our Public Safety.  It is evident he loves his job and exudes enthusiasm about “retiring” to our little piece of Paradise.

Joan the Shopper THE SPA… You just noticed some gray hairs peeking through a dark line at the part. No time for a Salon appt. before New Year’s Eve. So here’s how to get to the root of the matter. Purchase at the OR Spa a cylindrical can of Oribe’s Air Brush/Root Touch-Up ($32). I’ve tried it and it’s magic. Six colors to choose from. Easy to use. Provides “instant gratification” and shampoos right out… Another product at the Spa that I’m really high on is Hydro Peptide’s Perfecting Lip Gloss ($42). Gives your lips added volume and definition in minutes, while providing long-lasting hydration. My favorite color – Beach Blush… Did you know if you visit

Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way by Katie Salvato, Ocean Reef Press Staff

Joel Altman was thrilled when he received a phone call from Dockmaster Tony Rodrigues saying the Marina had availability during the holidays for his yacht SYMPHONY. Due to an unfortunate and certainly untimely incident however, SYMPHONY had damaged propellers. The repairs wouldn’t be finished until after the new year. Despite being Members since 1995, the Altman family had never experienced Christmas

SYMPHONY safe in it’s slip at the Marina.

on The Reef. Determined to get here with his wife, Beverly, their children, and three grandchildren, Joel Altman hired BoatUS to tow SYMPHONY from Fort Lauderdale to Key Largo. The trip took twelve hours and required two tugboats.

The Altman family is staying through the first of the year, when their repaired propeller will be delivered to The Reef and reinstalled on SYMPHONY. And in the meantime, the family has taken in a show at the Cultural Center, danced at Concert on the Beach, attend-

ed camp at Reef Club Kids, experienced the Once Upon A Time Street Fair, rode rides at Festival on the Green, enjoyed peaceful ocean scenery from the stern of their yacht, and are looking forward to the festivities on New Year’s Eve.

Fitness in 2017 “Fitness Focus” by Luis Bracamonte, Member Fitness Center Manager

The field of fitness continues to grow at an amazing pace. Boutique specialty fitness studios as well as massive all-encompassing health clubs are to be found in all major cities in the world today. The numbers in the private club sector also show the same trend as facilities such as our Member Fitness Center are becoming a necessity to any club looking to appeal to the current needs of their membership. The reason for this explosion in popularity is the undeniable fact that a regular exercise program combined with a healthy diet and proper rest represent a winning combination for anyone and everyone looking to improve their health and confidence in navigating in this physical world. Fitness offers great potential for life expansion and most importantly for improving quality of life. Fitness can be and should be practiced by everybody, especially as get older and need to work harder to keep our bodies in better shape. For these reasons, your Fitness team is preparing the most actionpacked season ever. From medita-

LifeBreath and breathing deeply/ correctly isn’t just about staying alive, it’s about improving the quality of your life. Let’s look at some of the positive effects of LifeBreath and deep breathing.

Massages Your Organs

Releases tension, stress and uneasy emotional troubles

Strengthen the Lungs

Helps Relieve and Combat Pain

Boosts Energy levels and Improves Stamina

Almost every pain management system include breathing. Relaxes the Mind/Body and Brings Clarity

Everyone who practices LifeBreath boast of a clearer and sharper mind. Increases Digestion and Assimilation of food more efficiently

COMING UP!

The digestive organs such as the stomach receive more oxygen, and hence operates more efficiently. The digestion is further enhanced by the fact that the food is oxygenated more.

Healthy Living and Weight Loss Program with Beth Bielat

The Program includes 8 weeks of classes, three hours of personal training, private consultations, the ‘Eat Clean” book and your personal journal and booklet. To sign up or questions contact us at ext. 5820 Complementary Introduction on Tuesday, Jan. 3 at 4 p.m.

Deep breathing removes carbon-dioxide and increases oxygen. Deep breathing moves and strengthens the organs in your body. It helps to strengthen core muscles, including abdominals, pectorals, and back muscles.

Thank you for making 2016 such an amazing year for us! We look forward to 2017 with excitement and the burning desire to continue improving together. See you at the gym!

Improves Quality of the Blood

LifeBreath and deep breathing

Detoxifies and releases toxins more effectively. Your body is designed to release 70% of its toxins through proper breathing.

Bonnie Mashburn motivates her granddaughters.

Often times, bad posture is due to poor breathing habits. Bad breathing habits supports bad posture.

Aside from cardiovascular training, daily deep breathing makes the circulatory system work more efficiently. Increases Muscle

It takes oxygen to fuel muscle growth.

The lungs and entire repository system become stronger ( like a muscle) from deeper breathing.

More oxygen brings in more energy and stamina, and deep breathing draws in chi/prana/life-energy into your energy networks (meridians, chakras, and auras) Breathing Improves the Nervous System

The brain, spinal nerves, and cell regeneration rely on oxygen for life and nourishment. Elevates Moods

Pleasure-inducing neuro-chemicals in the brain t increase with deep breathing Group LifeBreath sessions are offered on the first Monday and third Saturday each month at 2 p.m. Private sessions can be scheduled by calling 305-367-5820.

It was a beautiful Christmas Day here at Ocean Reef and we would like to thank you all for playing in the 2016 Santa’s Train Wreck tournament.

The winning team had the lowest

9th hole total out of any team! Hopefully you will look back on 2016 with fond memories of home and family… but it is now time to fasten our eyes on the New Year!

Coaching “Golf Tip” by Brian Varsey, Head Teaching Professional

Long term improvement in golf usually requires consistent practice with feedback and improving all facets of your game. Focusing first on the parts of your game that are most lacking will be the fastest way to lowering your handicap. This winter I will be offering a Coaching Program designed for the player who wants to improve their overall game, learn how to practice efficiently, and enjoys a team atmosphere. The program

will run from January 7 through February 11, and be limited to the first six members to sign up. Each week you will get one individual lesson which will cover your swing fundamentals, short game technique and putting. Each week there will also be an hour coaching session at a set time. During this session the group will go through practice drills and games, go over course management, and touch on golf fitness and nutrition. Also, each student will take a short game test the first week to quantify your skills and see what needs the most attention. Not only will you improve your swing technique, you will also learn how to practice and improve your overall game. Contact me in the Academy of Golf to sign up or to answer any questions.

Member-Guest Registration Open “Tennis Shorts” by Jim Morton, Director of Tennis

With the Christmas Holiday in full swing, the tennis and pickleball courts have been incredibly busy. We have never seen as much activity on the courts as we have seen this week. On Tuesday, we had 40+ players come out for the Cardio Clinic at 8 a.m. then had all the tennis courts and pickleball courts booked at 9 a.m.. At 10 a.m. not only did we have all of the courts occupied we had 16 players participating in Gameo (a cardio clinic where we play cardio games for the entire hour), Head Pro Justin Romero ran a private cardio class for 10 players and I ran a private cardio class for

12 players. Add to that on the pickle courts, Tennis Concierge Lindsey Vermillion ran a beginner pickleball clinic for 24 new players on 4 courts with doubles games played on the remaining 2 courts. That adds up to 60 tennis players playing on 10 courts with 32 players playing pickleball on 6 courts for a total of 92 players at our Tennis & Games Center courts from 10 to 11 a.m. As the famous saying goes, “build it and they will come”! The Tennis & Games Center truly has become a major focal point of activity at the Ocean Reef Club!

“Our EntirE ExpEriEncE with Amy OcEAn rEEf club rEAl EstAtE wAs tErrific”

The Fernandez Family Wish You a Blessed and Healthy New Year.

“We had been social members of Ocean Reef for a couple of years. Each time we visited with our two young daughters we enjoyed Ocean Reef even more and all the club had to offer. When we decided it was time to think about purchasing a home, Jim met Amy Fernandez, Broker Associate and immediately felt welcome by her friendly and positive nature and willingness to jump right in and help us. Amy was flexible with our schedule and took us to see many properties. Amy took the time and shared her vast knowledge with us, and did it in such an approachable way that we knew when we purchased a home, it would definitely be with her. We continued to communicate with her for more than a year and when we decided to make a bid on a property on Card Sound Road, she worked tirelessly to make the process smooth and successful for us. Our entire experience with Amy Fernandez and Ocean Reef Club Real Estate Company was terrific. Our family is looking forward to spending many fun years ahead in our new home.” - The Lim Family

Croquet in the New Year “Croquet News” by Ron Sekura

Christmas has passed. Did Santa make everybody smile? Hopefully all of us kids, young and old, got some wonderful gifts. Several of us in the Croquet Club asked Santa for some very special presents and we are still waiting to see. Art has yet to hit the lawns for a game of six wicket in hopes of a seven wicket run. Ron was traveling on a family reunion run to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, so he hasn’t had a chance to see if his the twist in his stroke has been corrected. Marucia and Joan are waiting for that croquet jewelry. Santa reported a shortage of the chocolate diamonds, maybe the croquet

bracelet and earrings will be ready for next year. Sunday is New Year’s Day and a regular play day for the Ocean Reef Croquet Club members. I wonder how many of us will ease around some family obligations, come out of a New Year’s Eve induced haze and brave the croquet lawns. Maybe, if the sun is not too bright. Croquet is a sport that has following in Western Europe including Romance cultures such as Spain, Italy and France. North

America, and many countries that were at one time part of the British Empire (But not India? Where are the Egyptians?) also adopted the sport. Take a look at the map. South Africa, Australia and New Zealand are the strong holds for croquet in the southern hemisphere. Given that New Years and the holiday season fall during the warm season in the southern hemisphere many croquet clubs in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand

.

have tournaments and outings to celebrate the holiday. Not to be out done several clubs in the United Kingdom sponsor events. On the Isle of Wight, be at the Ryde Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, at 10:00 am on New Year’s Day for the club sponsored competition. At the Surbiton Club, about ten miles outside of London, play is again scheduled for the ‘New Years Day Frostbite” competition. But in four of the last ten years play has been canceled because of “very wet lawns” or snow. In North America we also have some diehard traditions. Every New Year’s day in Burlington, Vermont the Mangled Mallet Croquet Club of Vermont gathers to play in Burlington’s Oakledge Park. This competition has been a tradition for more than 20 years. One of the competitors describes the game: “… you got to play the air game because normally you just hit a ball along the ground and you can’t with a foot and a half of powder (snow).” Croquet anyone? Sure lets do it, but on our lovely croquet lawns of the ORCC in Key Largo, Florida. Happy New Year!

Rod & Gun Club News by Capt. Jack Salisbury

A lot of people are getting out on our beautiful Ocean Reef waters. We had the largest turnout ever for the combined Holiday Offshore – Reef Tournaments with 21 Boats. The awards banquet was attended by 115 individuals, a great turnout. Reports are that Ballyhoo are plentiful on the patches. A few Sails are being caught, a matter of putting your time in and a little luck being in the right place when they decide to eat! Blackfin Tuna have been showering bait off the reef towards Pacific. If you have a lot of bait chum and a little patience and you may be able to bring them to you. Grouper season closes Jan. 1st so take care in releasing any you catch. As a reminder the range is open for the season. We have guns available if you do not bring your own. The R&G Club hopes everyone had a Merry Fishmas and wishes you a Happy New Year.

USCG Auxiliary Boating Course “Suddenly In Command”

The Ocean Reef Coast Guard Auxiliary will present the popular course, “Suddenly in Command” on Saturday, January 14, 2017 from 9:30-11 am in the Tarpon Room at Carysfort Hall. This course is intended to provide guidance for those boat occupants such as guests, friends, spouses, etc., who may find themselves “suddenly in command” if the operator is no longer able to operate the boat. Preregistration may be done via email to Peter Liashek, Flotilla Public Education Officer, at [email protected].

USCG Recreational Boating Report by Peter Liashek, Operations Officer Ocean Reef Coast Guard Auxiliary 13-04

As we start our boating season here at ORC, I thought it would be interesting to review the USCG 2015 recreational boating statistics which were recently published. The statistics reviews the numbers and types of boats, where they are

registered, and unfortunately the primary causes of boating casualties. Some facts:

In 2015 there were 11,867,049 recreational vessels registered, of which 11,034,479 where “mechanically propelled” and 832,570 were not (sailboats, canoes etc.) ◆◆ In 1980, there were 8,577,857 registered vessels and the trend proceeded upward to a peak of 12,942,414 in 2005. Since that time registrations have proceeded downward to the present numbers, but the 2015 number is 0.5% more than 2014. ◆◆ Deaths increased in 2015 to 626 from 610 in 2014, and accidents increased from 4,064 to 4,158, a 2.3% increase. ◆◆ The greatest percentage of accidents that result in fatalities occurs in the months of February, October and November, with July recording the lowest. ◆◆

CHOOSE CHAMBER SERVICE DIRECTORY

Alcohol is the leading known contributor of fatal boating accidents and was listed as the leading factor in 17 percent of deaths! ◆◆ Operator inattention, operator inexperience, improper lookout, machinery failure, and excessive speed were the top five primary contributing factors in accidents. ◆◆ Property damage was an impressive $42 million dollars. ◆◆ Where cause of death was known, 76 percent of fatalities drowned and 85 percent of those did not wear a life jacket!!! ◆◆ Where boating instruction was known, 71 percent of deaths occurred on vessels where the operator had NOT taken a boating safety course! ◆◆

So… I think the moral of the story is attention on the water, have a designated driver as we do on land, and take one of the USCG AUX boating courses offered here at ORC.

Only $800. Limited Time Only Quote from Kathy Lee Gifford “My complexion takes a real beating every day due to the heavy makeup and harsh lights at the Today Show. So I make a visit to my good friend Rebecca at Rejuvenations the minute I get to The Reef. She is by far the finest facialist I’ve ever known. She also creates the most relaxing, healing environment for the whole body in her Salon & Spa”
