ACTIVITY RESTRICTIONS

We have determined a few activities are safe to reinstate (see above), and have defined the processes by which those activities can begin again. If your group would like to be considered to be able to meet again, please call James Sutter in Member Services at 658-

5400. Until further notice, all reinstated activities have the following restrictions:

All ACV-approved activities are limited to ACV members, ACV staff, and approved outside leadership.

Participation is limited dependent upon space and activity.

Each individual must wear a mask and observe social distancing as well as safe hygiene practices while participating.

Non-compliance will result in removal.

MOVIE MATINEE

Saturday, Oct. 3, 2:00 p.m. - OPR

Molly Mahoney is the awkward and insecure manager of the strangest, most fantastic, and most wonderful toy store in the world — one which affords adults the opportunity to retain a child’s sense of magic and wonder in their lives. But when the store’s owner

bequeaths the store to Molly, a dark and ominous change begins to take over the once-remarkable Emporium. 2007 comedic drama. 94 mins. Rated G. The Village Church is able to show this movie because it is covered by their CVLI license, which also prohibits the advertisement of the movie’s title and actors’ names.

Wii BOWLING Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2:00 p.m. - OPR

Wii bowling is similar to normal bowling. Using a video came controller, the player attempts to knock down 10 pins with a ball by making the same arm motion as regular bowling. The player has 10 attempts with two bowls in each frame. The maximum score achievable is 300. We would like to give special recognition to Angie Cruciata on her score of almost 200, and one game with no open frames on Tuesday, Sept. 22. This score is very good for an inexperienced player. If you would like to play, please visit us on Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m. in the OPR.

EVENTS HERE AND THERE

LIFE AFTER …

Wednesday, Oct. 7, 1:00 p.m. - OPR

The “Life After …” counseling group under the direction of Monica Serlick, which previously met at the JKPL, is meeting temporarily in the OPR from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Anyone wishing to discuss the process of living and coping after any significant change is invited to attend. Please read the “Activity Restrictions” article on this page to familiarize yourself with the limitations surrounding participating in an activity at ACV.

Page Magnifiers

We have five page magnifiers available for a three-week checkout. These magnifiers are lightweight, have an adjustable LED light, and have a lens large enough to cover the entire page.

Tech Help

If you need assistance with your iPhone, computer, or anything involving technology, our capable staff is here to assist you.

Home Delivery

The JKPL has home delivery of books and DVDs to anyone living in the Village. Call 658-2670, and we will take your requested item to the Village post office.

Display Case and Art

For October, the display case will feature lighthouses, and the art gallery will be changed out. Take a walk through our library to see these displays.

Featured Books

Because October is National Colonial Heritage Month, we will have a special display honoring colonial times. Also October is “read a scary book or watch a scary movie” month. We will have a display of some “spooktacular” books.

Book Bundles Are Here! We are unveiling a new service this month called Book Bundles! This is for adults who would like a little help with their reading list. Maybe you are a voracious reader and always need new books to read, or perhaps you don’t read that much because you can’t find anything you like. We can help in both cases! The idea is simple. Fill out a brief questionnaire telling us what types of books you like. Our staff will note your preferences and choose a selection of books for you based on your criteria. We’ll let you know when they are ready to pick up, and then you can stop in and check them out. Return them when you are done as usual. If you are ready to get started, call the JKPL or come by and pick up a form.

or on Facebook and YouTube at “The Village Church at Advent Christian Village”.

MESSAGE: “The Son of Man Lifted up for Us” TEXT: John 3:11–18 SPEAKER: Pastor Sam Worley

Our Sunday morning worship service is shown live at 9:40 a.m. on TV2, Facebook and YouTube. Worship and prayer guides are available on Thursday afternoons at the VC office, the IC, CH and DH lobbies, and in the foyer at CCC. The following groups are meeting in person at the VC this week and are open to ACV members and staff (Attendees must wear a mask and maintain safe distancing.):

The Friday morning Bible study will meet on Oct. 2 at 9:30 in BC.

Bruce Strickland’s Christian education class meets in BC on Sundays at 11:30 a.m.

The Tuesday morning men’s Bible study, led by Michael Saunders and Tom Spannagle meets at 8:30 in BC.

The VC Bible Institute, taught by Michael Saunders, meets on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00 noon in BC.

Wednesday night prayer meeting, led by Don E. Wrigley, meets at 6:00 in the VC sanctuary.

Starting this Sunday, Oct. 4, the VC will regather for in-person Sunday morning services, initially with 75 in attendance. Seating reservations are required, and can be made by calling the church office each week by noon on Friday at 658-5344. We will expand the numbers of those who can attend just as quickly as we feel we can do so safely. Social distancing, masks, and temperature checks at the door will be part of the process. Hopefully, everyone who wishes will have a chance to worship in the sanctuary at least once a month. The second Sunday of the month will be set aside specifically for non-ACV members. Our services will continue to be available online and on TV2. This Sunday is World Communion Day. We will be joining Christians around the world in celebrating the Lord’s Supper. We encourage those watching on TV2 or online to prepare their own bread and cup so that we can share communion together. The Maranatha devotional booklets for October through December are available in the church office. The Maranatha is published quarterly by the Advent Christian denomination with articles written by Advent Christian authors. Our church family is represented in this issue by Millie Griswold and Laura Putnam; Frank and Candy Hall’s son, Christopher Hall; Candy Hall and Cheryl Gilroy’s brother, Robin Buchanan; Jack and Connie Jones’ niece, Tracy Ainsworth; and a former pastor’s wife, Karen Lawson.

COPELAND MEDICAL CENTER

Ann Toole–386-658-5300

Thousands of people are hospitalized each year as a result of severe illness from the flu. Influenza is the 9th leading cause of death in the country. The good news is there is something we can do to keep our families and community safer. Children and adults who receive the influenza vaccine each year are on an average 70% less likely to get sick and less likely to spread illness to older relatives and neighbors. The flu vaccine will be available at the Copeland Medical Center during the following times:

At any scheduled appointment with Dr. Malik Naqi; Dr. Donna Schippers; or Cheryl Collins, APRN.

By Appointment only. Appointments will be scheduled on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:30 to 3:45 p.m.

Please call 658-5300 to schedule a flu vaccine appointment and help keep our community and families healthy this flu season.

James Sutter–386-658-5400

I was told that there is an email scam targeting those with Windstream email addresses (@windstream.net). The email warns the receiver that their email account will be suspended unless they click on a link supplied in

4

the email message. This is a scam. If you receive a similar email, delete it. Do not click on the link. Anytime you wish to check on the status of your Windstream or Kinetic services, email included, call them directly at 1-800-347-1991. Oh, the weather outside is … getting more delightful! Aren’t these occasional cool days inviting? I encourage you to take advantage of the season by going outside, taking a walk, enjoying nature, and spending some time chatting with friends in the safer environment. Call someone (or someones) up and invite them to meet you at the corner. Remember when neighbors used to stand at the fence to catch up? Let’s bring back that old tradition. Of course, here in north Florida, you should probably take an umbrella with you just in case. It’s time to get your flu shot. Call the CMC at 658-5300 to schedule an appointment. Have concerns? Some vaccine questions are answered on Page 7. We hope you have enjoyed the convenience of on-call shuttle bus service. It is our plan to continue this service after we reinstate a regular bus route after the quarantine has been lifted. We request if you live in CH, DH and Wilson Gardens, you please ask one of the front desk attendants to call the shuttle bus directly for you to schedule a pick-up. Everyone else, if you are at home, please call the IC at 658-3333. Your call will be redirected to the shuttle bus number, and you may be asked to leave a message containing your name, location and pick-up time. Please speak clearly. If you are away from home, such as at the CCC or CMC, please ask the desk attendant to call for you. If you are at the VS, please ask the Lodge office attendant to call. As the completion of the new CR 250 bridge over the Suwannee River at Dowling Park nears, some concerned citizens have created a petition to name the new bridge after two individuals important to ACV’s history, Burr A.L. Bixler and M.A. Carter. As a member of the Membership Association Executive Committee, which supports the petition, I encourage you to consider signing. See the article on Page 6 for more information, including what the petition says and where to find one of the petition copies to sign.

Member Services Tip of the Week

Each week you may notice on the front page just under the masthead a listing called “Administrator on Call”. You may have wondered why it is listed and what it means. Every weekend, a member of the ACV management team is assigned to be available for calls from the IC should there be a situation that needs a coordinated response on behalf of the Village. The IC staff will direct the call to the Administrator on Call.

TV2

My volunteers who produce TV2’s Front Porch Conversations are doing such a good job, I have accumulated quite a backlog of interviews. In order to keep the interviews from sitting around too long between recording and airing, I have rearranged the weekly TV2 schedule a little to make room for three separate hours in which two Conversations may air at a time. The new timeslots beginning next week are Tuesday at 10:00 p.m., Thursday at 7:00 a.m., and Friday at 4:00 p.m. The same two Conversations will air in each timeslot for your convenience. Next week’s Front Porch Conversations hours will begin with an interview with Evelyn Wallace who recently died. We hope you enjoy listening to Evelyn’s story and remembering her fondly. The second interview is with Joan Wittman. Each Tuesday through the end of October, a special presentation — a musical concert by students, faculty, and friends recorded at Florida State University — will air at 8:00 p.m. on TV2. This Tuesday, Oct. 6, the FSU Wind Ensemble performs several beautiful and technically challenging pieces directed by both Ensemble Conductor Dr. Patrick Dunnigan and also some student conductors. Overall, the concert is full of emotion: joy, contemplation, pride, and rapture. Upcoming special presentations:

Oct. 13: Read Gainsford, Piano

Oct. 20: FSU Jazz Ensemble

Oct. 27: FSU Symphony Orchestra

VILLAGE PHARMACY

John Nicely–386-658-5860

The Village Pharmacy has received flu vaccines and will start vaccination on Monday and Wednesday of next week. Please come by and get your shot soon. This is predicted to be a rough flu season. Business is growing even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our staff will always serve you with compassion and professionalism.

Put them all together, they spell October, and only 54 more days until Thanksgiving and 84 more days until Christmas ... but who’s counting?! REMINDER #1: NAMETAGS! NAMETAGS! Where are they hiding? In pockets, on doorknobs, on dressers? It is important to put them around your neck when you are out and about the Village for a few important reasons: Others will know and recognize you. It helps new residents, especially, to be able to put names with faces. And it is very helpful, almost necessary, in an emergency situation. REMINDER #2: Give some thought to where, when and why you would like to volunteer once the Village opens its doors to the ambassadors, Archives, birthday parties, Carter Village Hall, CCC, GSC, Village Library, Sunshine Committee, the Village shops, and various other locations. REMINDER #3: SMILE! A smile is defined as facial expression characterized by an upward turning of the corners of the mouth, showing any of a wide range of feelings or attitudes. What do you feel when you see a smiley-face picture? A chuckle? A shy smile? A grin? Sometimes it doesn’t take too much for some people to smile; others, it’s like pulling teeth. BUT ...

You’ll find when you smile, your day will be brighter, And all of your burdens will seem so much lighter.

For each time you smile, you will find it is true That somebody somewhere will smile back at you. Nothing on earth can make life more worthwhile

Than the sunshine and warmth of a beautiful smile. Helen Steiner Rice

VILLAGE ARCHIVES Millie Griswold, Reporter

Stop by the History Window at the VS, and in less than five minutes, you can take a tour of the Village Archive. “Saving the Past for the Future” is the theme of this new exhibit. This brief visual presentation gives you a taste of what you’ll see when you visit the Archive when it opens again. The Village Archive is located as a wing of the JKPL. Typically, it is open select hours, five days a week. Plan to stop by for a relaxing, enjoyable time.

POLK CERAMICS SHOP

Laura Putman, Reporter

Do you have a Christmas tree that “fits” your living space? We have a few smaller Christmas wreaths also. Some have lights in them. Then there are miscellaneous items you might enjoy making, using, or giving — spoon rests, bowls, cups, a few European Santa Claus figures, some eggs that could be prepared for Easter (yes, it will be coming before too long!). Wear your mask and come on over to the shop during its open times. See you there.

VILLAGE VOICES

Nancy Seale, Reporter

At the time of my writing this article, the month of September is drawing to a close. At the time of your reading, the month of October is dawning anew. Hooray for October, and hooray for fall! I had a personal “hooray” this week accompanied by a wee bit of celebrating. I was

5

determined to finish a book that was initially very slow and cumbersome to read. So many times, I was tempted to stop and switch to the next read in line. However, I am not usually a quitter, so I persevered. Now I am celebrating the fact that I completed what I started. Plus the last half of the book was really good and would have been missed by my quitting. Now you readers knew all along that I was going to get around to the theme of celebrations. Now, why wouldn’t I? And you should also. For you see, celebrations come in many forms — personal/private celebrations of an accomplishment well done, and public/community celebrations enjoyed with others. Those are just several examples of celebrations. As we enter this season of the year, there are many reasons for celebrating. Spend some time pondering and reminiscing past times of celebrating that may have occurred in the fall. Maybe you will find something that you would like to share with your community. As one who has lived all of their life so far in the southern part of the U.S., I know there are events and traditions enjoyed by folks from other regions of our great country that are different from the ones that are found in the South. Boiled peanuts, for one. In Mississippi where I grew up, I knew nothing about boiled peanuts. We enjoyed roasted peanuts. Imagine my shock when for the first time, I celebrated with friends at a “peanut boil” here in Suwannee County back in the fall of 1973. I could not help but reminisce as I recently traveled along Hwy. 136 into Live Oak and watched the harvesting of the local peanut crops. I certainly had no clue that cooking those legumes in a huge pot of salted, boiling water could yield such wonderful results. That trip into town brought back such fond memories. I realized that my spirits had lifted just from that memory, and the rest of the afternoon felt brighter even though the sky was cloudy. The above paragraph begs to have a recipe attached. This is an example of a celebration that by attaching a recipe, the story would be enhanced. You know … like my tomato pie story and recipe in the FNN back in the summer. Maybe I will share several ways to “bawl” peanuts in an upcoming article. Or you could “Google” that for yourself and not wait on me. Many of us here at ACV would enjoy the opportunity to learn about others’ celebrations, especially if a recipe is attached for future use and enjoyment. So please feel free to search your memory banks for times of celebrating that accompanied good eats! Member Services is where the submissions envelope is located (for the next printing of Village Voices). You may also email your submission to me at basketcasenan51@gmail.com. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to share some celebrations with your Village family. By sharing, others get to enjoy with you. You may even brighten your day by doing so.

We have two BA birthdays this week. Both Richard Loderhose and Bob Mathews were born on the 8th. Happy birthday, fellas! They told me it was foolish to fill the room with nitrous oxide. Well, who’s laughing now?

DACIER MANOR Janice Chapman, Reporter

Another week is here. Visitation rights are the big change at DM. The following people had in-person visits during the week: Bill Bruce, Janice Chapman, Martha Cheek, Janet Gurniak, Elvena Johnson, Isabel Slover, and Jean Smyth. Steve Smith had a few days of respite here and left with his son on Monday. Theresa Saunders moved to Suwannee Health Care where special treatments she needs are available. Janice Chapman had a “Fabulous 90” birthday celebration on Saturday, the 26th, with flowers, cakes,

gifts, cards, and happy birthday wishes too numerous to count! It was indeed FABULOUS! Thanks to everyone who had a part in it. Pastor Bruce Arnold brings a welcome time of singing and Bible study. He comes twice a week. The only birthday observance for October is for Ida Wells, another centenarian, on Sunday, Oct. 19. More about that later. Continue in prayer for our country and for each other. God bless us, everyone!

DOWLING HOUSE

Janice Harris, Reporter

October birthday characteristics are: nature lovers, amiable, honest, more emotional, totally independent, and faithful towards family, dedicated and hard working. Goodbye, September. Welcome, October. Birthdays for October are: 6, Myra Vanderwal; 11, Dottie Cook; 13, Carol McAllister; 15, Janice Harris; 22, Sherron Owen. WOW, we are all blessed to live in such an amazing village. Friendships are there for the asking. All are available to help you whenever needed. You must be a friend to have a friend. Thanks to friends who were there for me this week; you know who you are. Billie Taylor shared with me that she went out on Sept. 24 at dusk in her golf cart and saw nine deer including a big buck in the area of CR 250. The VC offered us the opportunity to join the prayer march held on Saturday, Aug. 26. We were each given a prayer guide that told us where the prayer was taking place and what the focus of the prayer was. It was also telecast on TBN. What a great opportunity for all of us to join in prayer for our nation. Thank you, pastors Hall and Worley, for all the work you put into this. Fall has brought us the opportunity to begin a new season of planting. Many are planting, and others are preparing their soil for planting. The Harris family has planted garlic, onions, radishes, lettuce, and beets and is waiting on broccoli, carrots, turnip greens and cabbage. Prayers for people this week: Sylvia Fraser’s son, Brett, had surgery last week; Gayle Jones; Terry Saunders; all the people suffering with the coronavirus; and Evelyn Miller. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The American Cancer Society is asking people to walk 35 miles during the month of October to raise awareness for breast cancer, and to wear pink. I want to introduce you to my new neighbor, Jackie Christenson, who moved in Aug. 24. Welcome, Jackie. Jackie moved here from Lake City, Florida. Jackie grew up in Bellville, Illinois, attending the Baptist Church, but after moving to Florida, she attended a Lutheran and an Episcopalian church in which she was a part of the Daughters of the King program. She lived in St. Petersburg, Florida, for 25 years. She worked as a waitress, and later returned to technical school and then worked for an attorney for 10–12 years. While living in Lake City, she was director for the Red Cross. Jackie was married to her second husband for 34 years. Jackie has one son and three daughters. Her son lives in Illinois and has daughters who live in Mississippi, Melbourne and Lake City. She has seven grandchildren. Jackie’s hobbies include reading, plants, and collecting angels and nativity scenes. Jackie likes being social and has on her bucket list to learn how to paint.

DOWLING PARK NORTH Jack “CrackerJack” Dixon, Reporter

Soon we will be seeing decorations of autumn-colored leaves and wreaths adorning our front doors designating that fall has arrived. Along with those fall decorations, we will start to see the spooks of Halloween appearing also. Halloween, or All Saints’ Eve as it was first called, falls on Oct. 31, the day before the celebrations of All Hallows’ Day. It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals. Believe it or not, pumpkin carving originated in the 1700s with the carving scary faces in the flesh of rutabagas (instead of pumpkins)!

Dressing up in costumes and passing out candy was a tradition that started as time progressed. Remember those days (pre-COVID) when bobbing for apples was the rage and was so much fun for everyone?

With the news of Governor DeSantis lifting the COVID ban throughout our state, does that mean the restrictions here at ACV are going to be lessened? I would not get too excited at the possibility, knowing how conservative our administration is — and of course it is for the best interest of our residents. Congratulations to Bill and Marty Nickerson on their anniversary on Oct. 1. We wish you the best and a future with many more. No birthdays on my list for this month. If I have missed yours, or if you have information to share with me, please call me at (239) 404-0329 or email me at jackwdixonis@gmail.com. Words of wisdom: I have gone on two diets. I wasn’t getting enough food on just one. Don’t irritate an old person. The older we get, the less “life in prison” is a deterrent. Have you ever listened to a person for a minute and thought “Their cornbread is still soft in the middle.”? The other day, I overheard an old boy say to another, “I sure thought gittin’ old would take a lot longer.” From the middle of a dead end dusty, bumpy dirt road, 102nd Place, stay focused on the good things in life, always look for the good in everyone you meet, be truthful in all you say and do, and never forget who is in charge. Isaiah 40:28–31.

EDGEWOOD TERRACE

Sandra Kelly, Reporter

Hello again, ET! During this period of forced “apartness”, I enjoy getting letters, cards, emails and texts from friends who are similarly engaged in the stay-at-home drama. It is nice to know you are still out there! Seems awful quiet here. I know there is lots of activity in individual home places, but since we are somewhat isolated from one another, I am unaware. I find that the enforced distancing has activated my lazy enzymes, and that the laziness disease spreads exponentially! My sisters tell me (via phone, texts and email) that they are cleaning out closets, pulling weeds, deep cleaning stoves and refrigerators, and doing other energetic things. But I just cannot ignite the spark to get the working fire going. For the first time, I see retirement as I initially imagined it: sitting on the porch in a rocking chair, sippin’ sweet tea, and watching the world go by! October looks like it will be a busy birthday month. Happy birthday to Barbara Hotmire and Ann Lance, both on Oct. 4. May you have all the joy your heart can hold! Please add Verna Piper to your prayers. She recently attempted a swan dive into her bathtub and sustained some very bruised ribs. Remember to keep Tom Rumbaugh in your prayers as he convalesces. Also add Jerry Hotmire. He is traveling to Gainesville to have a worrisome mole removed. I was talking to Laurie Croce recently. Laurie is a retired nurse who lives here to be with her father. The person she feels has had the most influence on her life is ... her father! She says that nothing ever fazes him; he is always steady and reliable. Laurie has stayed here with her father since his wife, her mother, died. She enjoys putting puzzles together and accompanying her father as he trolls the grounds with a metal detector. She has especially enjoyed the companionship and getting to know him in a relaxed environment. Laurie has two children and two grandchildren who live in the Melbourne, Florida, area. I have some sad news to report (sad for us; happy for them). James and Carolyn Whitaker will be moving closer to family at the end of October. They will be moving to Wausau, Wisconsin, to be near their son who lives there, and closer to their daughter who lives in Pennsylvania. An added plus is the grandchildren they will be near. They will be in an environment similar to ACV, Primrose Retirement Community.

THOUGHTS TO KEEP YOU SMILING! The road to success is always under construction. Where there is a “will”, there are 500 relatives.

When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.

We have an unusual circumstance with birthdays here this month. It seems that on the 6th, Lois Brisbin has a birthday, and then the very next day, on the 7th, George Brisbin has his day! Wow! How was this arranged? No matter, we in the POP wish you both a very happy time and hope you go easy on the celebrations. Have you ever watched the NASA channel, 286, on your TV? Fascinating. Try it out. It is very educational, even if you can’t understand it all. I know from experience that watching a program just once is not the way to evaluate that program. Give it a chance, and try it again one day. More aphorisms: How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night? Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks? Scratch a cat, and you will have a permanent job. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity. I lived in California for a couple of years after my military tour. Actually, it was about a year later when I was bored with the East and went west. My work was in downtown L.A., but I lived in Glendale. I would drive up to the Griffin Observatory occasionally and look out over 40 cities (so they say), and even out to one of the islands. You can view an extraordinary record of the Bobcat Fire by the Griffin Observatory on your computer. It is a 360-degree panoramic time-lapse video of the fire as it started and eventually came up and around the observatory. The video, “Bobcat Fire Time Lapse from Mt. Wilson 9/4/20-9/19/20” was created by Siobhán Dougall, who stitched together 10,500 images recorded by their four HPWREN tower cams. Really fascinating.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

BRIDGE NAMING PETITION

The ACV Membership Association Executive Committee has been approached by Millie Griswold, Village historian and archivist, with a proposal for naming the new CR 250 bridge at Dowling Park after two pillars of ACV, Dr. Burr A.L. Bixler and Mr. M.A. Carter. While the Executive Committee cannot take a formal position without a decision from the Membership Association, which may not meet due to the COVID-19 restrictions, its members fully support the proposal. The Executive Committee instead proposed the circulation of a petition that could be signed by the residents of — not only ACV — but Suwannee and Lafayette counties. The petition will be presented to the respective county commissioners, who in turn may send a formal resolution to FDOT, which has jurisdiction over naming state-owned roadways and bridges. Petitions are available at the following locations: JKPL, IC (RV can sign here), CH, DH (Wilson Gardens can sign at DH), the post office, CCC, the Village Grocer, CMC, and Carter Village Hall. We urge you to register your approval by signing the form within the next two weeks. The petition form has the following heading and exclamation: “Dowling Park is, and has been for over 100 years, a growing community in Suwannee County. It is a vital part of both Suwannee and Lafayette Counties, socially and commercially. The Advent Christian Village (ACV) has been a driving force for both counties for services and employment. ACV was founded and developed by two pioneer figures at Dowling Park. It is

7

appropriate to honor their memory by naming the new County 250 bridge after them. “We, the undersigned, desire that the new County Road 250 bridge crossing the Suwannee River at Dowling Park be named in honor of Dr. Burr A.L. Bixler (1884-1950) ACV founder, and Matthew A. Carter (1905-1978), ACV Superintendent and Manager.”

A BOOK ON LOAN

Millie Griswold (658-2644) has the following book she will loan for two weeks (Give her a call.): Finding Your Kingdom Identity as a Widow: Discovering the Heavenly Bride Within by Amanda Rankin. Rankin, a widow, brings her skills of motivation and encouragement to women navigating their own widowhood. 105 pages, softcover, 6 x 9 inches, self-published in 2020. Available on Amazon. Rankin and husband, Tony, lived at ACV for a few years, prior to moving in 2008 to Panama where Tony died.

LANDSCAPING MINUTE Fall is here! And if you’re like me, you have looked forward to the cool mornings and sunny but pleasant afternoons. This is the weather that makes Florida living so great. Enjoying an outdoor living space such as a screened porch or patio can be rewarding. There are always challenges such as cleaning and keeping unwanted pests away. Once that’s taken care of, you can have fun decorating for the season. I hope to see you out for walk or enjoying a new lounge chair with a book. If you need some suggestions or have any questions, give me a call: Robert Peacock, 688-5687.

COMING SOON: NUT SALE FLYER

The ACV Community Garden Club will soon be holding its annual fundraising nut sale (pecans, walnuts, cashews, almonds). A flier will soon appear in all of the P.O. boxes. This will be a special COVID-conscious fundraiser. There will be an order form for you to complete and return to Verna Piper by Oct. 30. All of the information you need will be included on the form. You’ll make your selections now and pay when you pick them up, which will be by the middle of November. There will not be a second order for you to decide on later. Start making your “nut list” now. They are great for cooking or munching, and will be here in plenty of time for your Christmas gift-giving. We, the Garden Club, do appreciate your support, and we know you will appreciate the nuts. They are GOOD!

SOME FLU VACCINE QUESTIONS

Do we need to get a flu vaccine earlier this year (i.e. July/August)? There is no change in CDC’s recommendation on timing of vaccination this flu season. Getting vaccinated in July or August is too early, especially for older people, because of the likelihood of reduced protection against flu infection later in the flu season. September and October are good times to get vaccinated. What is the difference between influenza and COVID-19? Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2), and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses. Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis. Will there be flu along with COVID-19 in the fall and winter? While it’s not possible to say with certainty what will happen in the fall and winter, CDC believes it’s likely that flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 will both be spreading. In this context, getting a flu vaccine will be more important than ever. CDC recommends that all people six months and older get a yearly flu vaccine. Can I have flu and COVID-19 at the same time? Yes. It is possible to have flu, as well as other respiratory illnesses, and COVID-19 at the same time. Will the flu vaccine protect me against COVID-19? Getting a flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, however flu vaccination has many other important benefits. Flu vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of flu

illness, hospitalization and death. Getting a flu vaccine this fall will be more important than ever, not only to reduce your risk from flu but also to help conserve potentially scarce health care resources. Does a flu vaccine increase your risk of getting COVID-19? There is no evidence that getting a flu vaccination increases your risk of getting sick from a coronavirus, like the one that causes COVID-19. In fact, a Canadian research study showed that flu vaccination did not increase risk for seasonal coronaviruses. The Canadian findings highlighted the protective benefits of flu vaccination. These and more flu vaccine-related questions can be found at www.cdc.gov/flu/season/.

WHAT I LEARNED THIS WEEK

If you should break/crack your ribs ... You should carry your phone in your pocket at all

times. That includes to bed. You may not be able to get

out! TV2 is quite comforting in the middle of the night. Always turn on the bathroom light! You can survive two to four minutes of agony for

three to four hours of relief in your lounger. Put all food on the top two shelves of the fridge. Have a “grabber” or two on hand. You can spot clean your kitchen floor with a rag

and a grabber. You can get clothes out of the washer and dryer

with a grabber. Don’t cough, sneeze, laugh or blow your nose! Other folks’ food tastes wonderful. Balloon surprises are fun. Friends and family are priceless. “God WILL take care of you!”
