New Golf Operations Manager:
Ernie J. Cruz, PGA
A Word From Your
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mr.
Ernie J. Cruz, PGA as the Barefoot Bay Golf Operations
Manager. A retired MSgt with the U.S. Air Force for 23
years, Ernie performed a diverse set of jobs in the service while completing his Bachelor’s Degree in Human
Resources from Wayland Baptist University. He was a
jet engine mechanic over nine years, a mental health
technician for over six years, a Professional Military
Instructor for over four years and a First Sergeant
over his last 2 years of military service. Ernie was
awarded (2) Meritorious Service Medals, (4) Air Force
Commendation Medals, (3) Air Force Achievement
Medals, (6) Air Force Good Conduct Medals, (1)
Humanitarian Service Medal, (2) National Defense
Medals, and (1) Global War on Terrorism Medal. Ernie
retired in 2005 with an Honorable Discharge.
Ernie joined the P.G.A. program in 2005 where he
began working in the golf industry at Royal St. Cloud Golf Links and gained experience in golf management and instruction, merchandising, tournament operations,
and golf club fitting and repair. In 2008, Ernie was elected to The PGA of America
and has since been a member in good standing. In 2014, he achieved his Certified
Professional status to join only 4% of the over 27,000 men and women of the PGA
who are Certified Professionals. Ernie’s more than 10 years of experience in the golf
business has built him an extensive knowledge in Golf Management and Operations.
I selected Ernie for the position after over 36 hours of interviews and with input
from Sue Cuddie, BBRD Resident Relations Manager/Human Resources Coordinator;
John Armstrong, Golf Committee President; and others. I am confident Ernie will
help elevate the quality of our golf course, improve sales at the Pro Shop, increase
rounds played during the summer months and be an ambassador for the game of golf
that can grow our membership. As the golf industry struggles with overall declining
number of golfers and the closure of courses at a record pace, I believe Ernie has the
experience and skills Barefoot Bay needs to realize our goal of making our course
the premier executive course of Central Florida. Just as I have always had an open
door policy for property owners, residents and staff, I believe Ernie will also share that
commitment to excellence and member service.
Today, Barefoot Bay is at once in a place of opportunity and hard work in many
regards. With the debt soon to be paid off, increasing capacity to enforce the DOR,
a rejuvenated golf course, a record Food and Beverage season, long awaited projects
completed and a replacement Building F in the design phase, BBRD is an exciting
place to live, work and/or play. Our current success is built upon the foundation of
those who served our community in the past. I am humbled and blessed to be your
Community Manager and look forward to many more years of service with Ernie and
the rest of our staff.
In public service,
John W. Coffey,
Community Manager

As a result of preliminary budget workshops, the Board of Trustees is leaning towards a budget which will result in a $3.00 to $5.00 increase in the monthly
assessment fee. On May 26, 2015, the Board will vote to approve the mail-out to
residences. The Trustee vote to approve the budget will be at the June 23, 2015
Board of Trustee meeting. Should homeowners desire to inquire into this matter,
they should call the Trustees and/or voice their opinion during the Trustee meeting
on May 26th or June 23rd.
During the past month the Board approved the following projects:
1. Playground equipment procurement for a swing set installment. The Board
approved the project in the amount of $4,245.00. Despite several opposing views
from homeowners, the motion passed 4 to 1 (with Trustee Klosky) opposing.
2. Swing set safety mulch procurement. The Board approved the project for
$11,136.00. The motion passed 4 to 1 (with Trustee Klosky) opposing.
3. Pool # 3 Pit Replacement Project was unanimously approved for $29,790.00
4. Egret Bridge rail replacement was approved unanimously. Cost of project
$14,100, plus permitting cost.
5. The Board voted 4-1 for a motion to fund monies for the softball field’s electronic scoreboard. Trustee Cavalier was the opposing vote. Mr. Forrest Banta presented
a check to the Chairman for the cost of the scoreboard.
6. Purchase of a walk-in cooler for the 19th Hole was approved for $12,723.00
with an additional $2,500.00 for site prep and restoration work. Motion was made to
authorize staff to apply for a five-year lease purchase.
7. The Board of Trustees gave the Special District Services (SDS) and the District
Manager an outstanding appraisal for their performance this past year.
8. The new Golf Operations Manager was selected and is expected to begin work
between mid to late May.
Seven member Recreation Committee was approved by the Board.
The Food and Beverage department reported a surplus (FY - 2015-2016) of
$23,643, which is an 81% increase over the same period last year.
Building A floor core drilling samples - three core samples were drilled this past
month with no voids found underneath the floor. The report stated there is no danger
of collapse. The Trill sound in certain areas is separation of the grout between the
terrazzo floor and concrete.
Finally, we continue our pursuit of rental policy and enforcement as well as ways
and means of effectively tightening up the Deed of Restrictions (DOR).
The monthly report is mine alone and in some instances may not reflect the position of other Trustees.
Pompano Al
Congratulations to Al Notarnicola
(a.k.a. “Pompano Al”) for his many years
of hard work and dedication to Barefoot
Bay improvement projects.
Pompano Al was on the committee
responsible for security & electric gates
at the storage yards. He was instrumental in 2011 in starting what has become
known as the “Beach Project” resulting in
the ocean beach walk‐over and observation deck. Al also spearheaded bringing
in electricity at the beach access for
future development projects...the electricity will allow a deep well to be dug.
The water from that well will enable bathrooms & showers to be installed. One of
Al’s favorite sayings is “yiddle by yiddle
we’ll get it done !
Al and his wife Tiny, who have been
longtime Barefoot Bay residents are
unfortunately turning a new page &
chapter in their lives. They are both battling a serious illness and would love to
hear from friends and neighbors. Please
keep them in your prayers…. Get well
soon, Al and Tiny.

Memorial Day
By Congressman Bill Posey
Our Investment in Space is Critical to Our
Future
I was fifteen when President Kennedy
delivered his famous address declaring
America’s intention to go to the Moon.
Like so many Americans, I was inspired
by the President’s call and personally
wanted very much to be a part it. As
a young man having grown up on the
Space Coast, I had the unique opportunity of working on the Apollo program
as an inspector with McDonnell Douglas.
It was an exciting experience and I’m
humbled to have been a part of it.
Since our space program’s inception
57 years ago, we have accomplished
so many challenging feats like: landing
humans on the Moon, building Space
Shuttles to test the limits of human space
flight, prolonged robotic exploration of
Mars, launching a space-based telescope
that can see far beyond our galaxy, and,
conducting scientific research on the
International Space Station. In just a few
short months, we will get our first ever
up-close look at Pluto, and what lies
beyond it.
Despite our numerous accomplishments, many still fail to appreciate the
important role our space program plays
in our everyday life. Most of the public
thinks Washington spends upwards of 25
percent of the federal budget on space
exploration. It’s simply NOT true. People
are shocked to find out that we actually
spend less than one half of one percent
on our space program. And we achieve
so much with very little resources.
We rely on space for our national
strategic defense, as well as a source for
many scientific, medical and technological innovations that make our lives safer,
healthier and more convenient. Imagine
life without wireless internet and laptop
computers, cell phones, weather reports,
bank transactions, GPS navigation, satellite television and radio, advances in
modern medicine – the list goes on.
Because there are so many benefits that
our space program has afforded us, our
continued investment in space is critical.
Just recently, the House Science
Committee, of which I am a member, approved a positive NASA
Reauthorization bill which makes space
exploration, particularly human space
flight, the top priority. We increase funding for exploration by directing more
resources to the commercial crew program and the Orion capsule, which are
based here in Florida at the Kennedy
Space Center. We also increase the
planetary exploration budget which has
seen deep cuts in recent years to fund
other initiatives that are unrelated to
space exploration. I have long believed
that NASA should have a bold mission
and this bill returns our focus to exploration by requiring NASA to come up with
a roadmap to Mars along with building
mission specific technology and a vehicle to get us there.
And while it’s important for NASA to
lead, our bill also opens up opportunities for commercial space. We are now
witnessing a new era in the space industry where companies are competing to
provide launch services to NASA, or to
start their own space business. But our
laws and regulations need to catch up
with these entrepreneurs and their innovative ideas. The NASA Reauthorization
bill requires NASA to report to Congress
on efforts by the Administration to
reduce impediments like bureaucracy
and unnecessary red tape to ensure the
fullest commercial use of space.
According to Space Florida, our state
is home to over 20,000 aerospace companies that generate over $19 billion in
sales and support over 140,000 employees. In Brevard County there are over
800 aerospace companies that generate approximately $2.5 billion in sales
and employ 22,000 workers. In Indian
River County, 163 firms with almost
800 employees generate $85 million in
sales revenue. These are highly technical, good paying jobs that keep America
at the forefront of innovation.
At every step of the way, Florida has
played an instrumental role in our space
endeavors which have made the United
States the world’s leader in man’s exploration of the cosmos. I intend to make
sure that heritage continues. There’s still
so much for us to explore, and discover.

Junior Golf from Page 1
Pro Shop porch at 8:00am. Parents or
guardians will be paired with their children for a 9 Hole Scramble.
The emphasis on this program is
to teach the kids how to play golf and
give them ample opportunities to play
during the summer. The kids are also
taught lessons through golf that help
them in many different situations that
they will face throughout their life. These
include Courage, Perseverance, Self
CYAN MEGENTA YELLOW BLACK
Control, Fairness, Honesty, Creativity,
and improve their self esteem.

County Commissioner, District 3
Crosswalks
The topic of crosswalks was broached
at my recent town hall meeting. There
seems to be significant confusion about
crosswalks and the law. We were likely
all taught to look both ways before crossing the street and common sense tells us
that we should not walk into the path of
an oncoming vehicle. My interpretation of
Florida law is that vehicles must stop for
pedestrians in the crosswalk. This does
not mean we should step into a crosswalk with vehicles approaching. The
weight and speed of a moving vehicle
should not be ignored in a quest to cross
a street. Vehicles are not required to stop
for pedestrians standing at the crosswalk
waiting for traffic to clear so they are able
to safely step into the crosswalk to cross
the street.
Below are verbatim excerpts from
Florida Statute 316.130.
• 316.130 (7)(b) The driver of a vehicle at any crosswalk where signage so
indicates shall stop and remain stopped
to allow a pedestrian to cross a roadway
when the pedestrian is in the crosswalk
or steps into the crosswalk and is upon
the half of the roadway upon which the
vehicle is traveling or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the
opposite half of the roadway as to be in
danger.
• 316.130(8) No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of
safety and walk or run into the path of a
vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.
I have personally witnessed pedestrians stepping into a crosswalk with vehicles approaching (not wise) and I have
seen vehicles stop for people standing,
waiting for traffic to clear (not statutorily
required). While statutes can be confusing, the law is specific. The Brevard
County Sheriff’s Office is able to answer
questions regarding crosswalks. General
questions can be directed to the south
precinct at (772)664-1015. Be smart,
be safe. As my father used to tell me;
you may be right, but you could be dead
right.

A Word From Your
HOA PRESIDENT
By Wilma Weglein
The last meeting before the summer
break was attended with guest speaker,
Ms. Jennifer Helin, of Seniors Helping
Seniors, as well as on the Board of Triad,
and a new organization entitled Helping
Seniors of Brevard. Again our speakers
this year have been both outstanding
and very informative for the residents
of Barefoot Bay. In addition, the Chair
Person, Cathy Wortman, was able to
present an wonderful Ice Cream Social
after the meeting.
Also, at the meeting it was announced
that one of the Board Directors had
resigned due to health reasons. Dick
Gee, who participated for 25 years on
various committees of the Board, as well
as serving on the AARC Board for many
years, would be leaving the Bay and
move to the Orlando area to be close to
his and Barbara’s daughter. He will be
greatly missed by the BBHOA. A presentation was made to Dick and Barbara
for their many years of service.
Since we now have an opening on the
Board, if any home owner in Barefoot
Bay wishes to apply for this position,
please contact me by phone, and if
you wish to send a letter of application
directly to the BBHOA, please include a
resume. Thank you.
The BBHOA Board will hold in the
month of June their Board meetings,
which residents can come to. We may
also have Board meetings in July and
August if they are warranted. There
will be no general meetings until the
September meeting.
We wish all the residents a Happy and
SAFE Summer.

WHEN QUALITY MATTERS
Director
South Mainland Branch
Do you remember that delicious feeling? The one you’d get when the last days of
the school year trickled away and you had the whole glorious summer to look forward
to? There was nothing like the anticipation of no more teachers, no more homework,
and a long stretch of golden lazy days. If you are honest, you may also remember
how time started to drag a bit after a week or two of nothing much to do. It may have
been too hot to play outside, TV was boring, and you found yourself wishing there
was someplace fun to go, and an opportunity to see many of your friends. But money
was tight, and there were no funds for trips to the theme parks or transportation to
go to the beach.
If you were lucky you had another venue for summer fun, right in your neighborhood. Your hometown public library was the nexus for programs, activities, books
and movies to help you and other eager kids stay entertained, educated and involved,
and all of the fun was free. We at the South Mainland Library are happy to inform you
that the tradition of free summer activities, open to all kids, continues to this day at
our library and all of the other locations in Brevard County. Each of our libraries has
staff devoted to working with our youngest members, and summertime is when they
go all out to provide a full roster of quality entertainment and good times.
The summer program for kids of all ages at the South Mainland Library starts with
a kick-off party on Monday June 8th and will last through Wednesday July 29th,
on Mondays and most Wednesdays, right before the start of the next school year.
Signing up your child or grandchild will guarantee that there will be space available
for participation in crafts, science and archaeology explorations, performances and
many other exciting and enriching sessions. This year’s summer theme is “Every
Hero Tells a Story” and some of the fun events include the “Super Hero Mystery
Theatre”, a “Jungle Heroes” animal ballet, visits from archaeologist Kevin Gidusko
and Barefoot Bay’s own ventriloquist, Mark Wade, as well as one from Dr. Dan the
Super Magician. And there’s a lot more!
We welcome all kids, even your family members from out of town, but children
are requested to preregister for many events, so that there will be enough craft supplies and goodies for all, and because our events are so great, they fill up fast. To
register, just call the library at 664-4066 or come by to see Miss Emily and to pick
up an events schedule. We are grateful to the Friends of the South Mainland Library
for their generous financial support of these programs and their sponsorship of the
prizes and parties.
And we still have movies and book groups for those of you adults who spend the
summer here. Our “Movies You May Have Missed” film, on Tuesday June 9th at
2pm, features Martin Sheen as a father who, after the sudden death of his son on
the Way of Saint James in France and Spain, decides to complete the pilgrimage.
Sheen encounters memorable characters, each with their own burdens, along “The
Way”, and hikes through wonderful scenery as he completes an inner journey of
understanding, forgiveness and faith. Our new series “From the Library Vault”, featuring documentary and nonfiction films, on Friday June 19th at 2pm, will take you
to Ireland and Scandinavia for a look at the discovery of the Bronze-Age bog bodies
which reveal the strange beliefs of the long-vanished people of Europe. The “Haven’t
Got A Clue” Mystery Readers group will be exploring “Cultured Crimes—Mysteries
from the worlds of art, literature, music and dance” on Thursday June 11 at 2pm,
and the Third Thursday Book group will be discussing “Founding Mothers” by Cokie
Roberts on Thursday June 18th at 3pm. All of these events are free and require no
registration. Hope to see you there!

Ramblings of a Retired Mind:
SEEMS TO ME:
· Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first and
nothing is as easy as it looks and everything takes longer than you think, plus If anything can go wrong, it will and If there is a possibility of several things going wrong,
the one that will cause the most severe damage will be the one to go wrong and if
there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
LIFE IN BAREFOOT BAY:
A Brevard County Sheriff’s Deputy made a traffic stop of an elderly lady for speeding on U.S. 1, just as she was turning into Barefoot Bay. He asked for her driver’s
license, registration, and proof of insurance and the lady took out the required information and handed it to him. In with her cards, he was somewhat surprised (due to
her advanced age) to see she had a concealed carry permit and he looked at her and
asked if she had a weapon in her possession at this time and she responded that she
did have a .45 automatic in her glove box. The officer then asked if she had any other
firearms with her and she did admit to also having a 9mm Glock in her center console
and .38 special in her purse. He then said “Ma’am, you sure carry a lot of guns. What
are you so afraid of?” She looked him right in the eye and said, “Not a damn thing!”
I was standing in line the other day at our local Wells Fargo Bank when I noticed
a man in the other line wearing a ski mask. He walked up to the teller and said “This
is a screw up!” the teller replied, “Oh my God, Don’t you mean this is a stick up?” He
said “No this is a screw up, I forgot my gun!”
OLD AGE:
· You know you are getting old when, while lying in bed and your wife says “We
can either have sex or we can watch a ball game” and you ask, “Whose Playing?”
· One of the chief pleasures of getting old is looking back at the people you didn’t
marry.
· I don’t need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.
· These days I think a lot about the hereafter, I go somewhere to get something and
then wonder what am I hereafter?
· The older you get, the better you realize you were.
QUOTE OF THE MONTH: - George Burns:
· “First you forget names, then you forget faces. Next you forget to pull your zipper
up and finally, you forget to pull it down.”
REMEMBER:
§ You should live each day like it’s your last, one day you’ll get it right.

Barefoot Bay Community Fund
It looks like summer has arrived a bit early this year, everything is in bloom and
beautiful. I have another brief note about the Community Fund to share with our
friends and neighbors. The Community Fund receives no State or Federal funding we
rely completely on the generosity of the homeowners and clubs in Barefoot Bay. We
also receive donations from local businesses that are either a part of or do business
within Barefoot Bay. This is the reason we are only able to help a homeowner on a
one time basis as our resources are limited.
This month we would like to thank the Artist Guild, Sebastian River Nest 272
Ladies Auxiliary, Sharon Rosati, Margaret Leibe, and The Little Theater of Barefoot
Bay who made a donation in memory of Jean Shaw, Connie Graf and Ann Diesu
members who died this year. We also have a homeowner that sends a donation every
month but does not want her name published. We thank you all for your generosity.
Any correspondence for the Community Fund should be mailed to PO Box 390
Roseland FL, 32957.
The Community Fund Board for 2014-2015 is as follows Betsy Clark, 663-9635
Joyce Snellbaker, 664-0056; Mary Howard, 664-7013; Marilyn O’Keefe, 664-1451;
Donna Borchsenius, 663-3098 and Deb Dalton 321-508-4700. Don’t hesitate to
contact us if you need assistance and feel free to tell others of our service.
Thanks once again.

A THANK YOU
Dropping a load
A heartfelt thank you to Skylar and
family of Periwinkle Circle. Some of our
family visited this past week, and our 12
year old grandson was allowed to ride a
bike in our court and onto the connecting
road. He was cautioned to not venture any
further, but as kids will, he did. He figured
that he would just ride around the block.
Well, anyone who knows anything about
Barefoot Bay knows that is not an easy
fete. When he realized that he was lost, he
stopped at a house where kids were playing
and asked if he could use a phone. This
family was wonderful. They called continually for about 5 minutes, until his mom
called them back. Our hearts stopped
beating when we realized what happened.
This compassionate family piled our grandson and his bike into their car and brought
him home to us as we stood waiting at the
intersection of our court and the through
street. We cannot thank them enough for
reaching out to this scared and worried
child. Blessings to you,
Eric and Kitty Seablom
This is to the people who, like us, walk
our dog in our beautiful park around the
lake. MOST people are good about picking
up after their dog, let’s say, drops a load.
Some don’t pick up anything. Either they
are too lazy, too embarrassed, or they think
they are too good to carry a bag of poop.
Not too embarrassed to have that little dog,
or for people to love on that baby, are ya?
But carry a bag of poop? Ewwww!
Then there’s the ‘creepy crap concealer’, who DOES pick up the poopie, in little
black bags, and puts them in the forks of
trees, the base of trees, or in the decorative
plants, here & there throughout the park.
Yeah, I’d really hate to see your house.
Don’t want to carry that dustpan full of dirt
& dog hair all the way to the trash can?
Just sweep it under the couch. Oh wow,
and look how far that trash can outside is.
Just toss it over there.
These are the people that are going to
screw it up for the responsible pet owners.
The ones who actually follow all the rules.
They keep their dog on a leash, pick up the
poop, and CARRY IT ALL THE WAY TO the
trash can..
There are a few people who bring their
dog on their golf cart, and their dogs get
off, sometimes on a leash, sometimes not.
BUT, THEIR dogs stay right with them.
They LISTEN to their human, and their stuff
is picked up. Their dogs are not a problem.
Some people bring their dogs, NOT on a
leash, let them run willy nilly all over the
place, and whether the dogs or deaf, or just
think their human is not the boss of them,
or whatever, they are all over the place, and
their crap is NOT picked up. And the defecation left on the ground for other animals
or people to step in. This causes disease.
This park is meant for people to enjoy, and
right NOW we can enjoy it with our pets.
But you irresponsible, insolent, downright
rude, ahem, people, are going to screw it
up for the rest of us.
So, please, PLEASE!!! Learn and accept
just a little bit of responsibility. I promise it
won’t kill ya’.

RAISING MAINTENANCE
FEE??????
Well now it comes!!!! At the Budget
Meeting on April 29, 2015, Mr. Guinther
was adamant that the Board of Trustees
raise the maintenance fee by $3.00 per
month increasing the total budget income
amount by approximately $175, 000.00
per year. Why would anyone approve such
an increase without knowing if it is necessary? Why wouldn’t the Board of Trustees
work with an experienced Architect who
would facilitate a workshop(s) in order to
ascertain what exactly needs to be accomplished, what are the desires of the community, what staff recommends, what the
HOA recommends, and what management
recommends. Who knows, maybe we need
to reduce it or raise in more or less than
the $3.00 suggested. Or just leave it at
$3.00. I find it ridiculous for Mr. Guinther
to even suggest an amount before knowing
needs of our community and more importantly how much it will cost. As I said in
my last letter to the Tattler, now that the
mortgage is almost paid in full, it is time to
work together to spend our money wisely,
efficiently and effectively; not spend with
wild abandonment. We must, as a community, let the Board of Trustees know
that our money must be spent prudently
and intelligently and we must have the
knowledge that our Board of Trustees has
our best interest in the foreground. I really
don’t understand why the Board of Trustees
won’t concede that their expertise does not
include the type of service Barefoot Bay
requires to move forward as we begin to
rebuild our infrastructure, add new buildings and enhance our amenities. The cost
in the long run will be well spent. Even
though Mr. Coffey has proven to be the best
Operations and Finance Manager we have
had, his expertise does not include architectural design, architectural cost analysis
and architectural budgeting. I believe Mr.
Coffey, has presented a workable 5 and/
or 10 year plan, but that is a fluid plan
and can be changed as our needs change.
Come on home owners; don’t let this happen without the input of all.
Carole Kennedy
LOUD NOISE???
Loud noise - people laughing- grilling
tasty food-dancing. WOW! Noise, Noise,
Noise. Come on. We live in a beautiful
resort where life is easy and lots of enjoyment available for our pleasure. We have
such a great variety of activities here in the
Bay for us - golf, tennis, shows, dancing
-- all creating an atmosphere of retirement
of pleasure. The pool parties are four
hours in length - with breaks between and these are only on Sunday afternoons
and not every Sunday! You should have
“checked” us out before you came. We’re
active and alive in the Bay and I’ll agree it’s
not a place for people who want quietness
ALL the time. You just came to the wrong
place. Perhaps you’d be happier and more
content in a place that has no activities so
you could have the quietness you desireBUT- you’re not going to get it here in our
beautiful Barefoot Bay! We worked hard in
our life so we could retire in a place where
we can play the rest of our lives with fun,
multiple clubs, dancing, music - it’s a great

TATIONS !
So . . . you got through another
tax year. Was your experience
with your tax preparer everything
you hoped it would be? Were
your expectations met?
A study of client reactions and comfort levels: of the 1,645 +/- returns I’ve prepared/reviewed over the past five years, and listening to new clients’ criticisms of
prior preparers (as well as feedback on me) - these appear to be the five highest, most
important expectations of the taxpayer client:
Knowledge and skill-sets:
Current and in-depth knowledge of the tax laws
Firm understanding of what goes where in the tax return
Commitment to absolute accuracy
Sufficient one-on-one discussion prior to return preparation:
Close attention to client concerns, past and present (listening)
Client expectations regarding current submission
Communication during the return process:
Examination of potential deductions and credits
Alerts to possible IRS red flags and suggested client reaction
At delivery time:
Careful explanation of the ‘construction’ of the return
Clear understanding of the return and taxpayer responsibility
Preferred actions – submission/refund/tax due
From that point on:
Tax preparer availability and degree of assistance available
On-going tax-worthy communication
In short, YOU want tax comfort at a fair price. The BIG question is “where and how
can you get both. Here are three suggestions that can provide the quality of service
you want at a value based preparation fee:
#1: Consider your comfort level as to the type tax preparer you work with. Your
choices are many. Most visible are the ‘big box’ firms such as H&R Block, JacksonHewitt and Liberty Tax. Next might be the CPA firm. Most CPA firms have someone
within the firm that actually prepares income tax returns. There are attorneys who do
income tax preparation. And there is the independent tax preparer who might have
a staff of trained preparers and provides tax and other services. Finally, there is the
sole-practitioner who personally works with you in your financial and tax considerations, prepares your return, and represents your best interests.
#2. Explore with your potential tax preparer the services they provide. Are they
restricted to simply preparing your return based on the documentation you provide?
Will they examine your past several year’s returns to determine the ‘flow’ of how
things were done – with an eye to catching opportunities that may have been overlooked or possibly concerns IRS might want to discuss with you in the near future?
In short – do they become involved? Do they have the ability to eFile your return?
What happens if your return is rejected by IRS and/or the State you eFiled in? What
recommendations will they provide if you owe additional income tax? How do they
normally recommend refunds being handled? Are they seasonal or are they in business full-time and available year-round.
#3. Looking specifically at your proposed tax return, and before they get started,
how much is this going to cost you? How is that cost computed and is it a final
price or are there additional ‘features’ you may be offered to purchase in addition
to the actual preparation and eFiling of your return. Oh yes, and what might those
additional ‘features’ be and what purpose do they serve? Take this one step further:
is this a discounted first-time client price or the normal current price. And finally, if
you return next year with basically the
same return input what will the price be
at that time?
Cut out this article and put it in
your November 2016 file of important
things to do before tax time. And if you
would like a rough estimate on what
charges to expect for your 2015 return
by the various types of tax preparers in
our Treasure Coast Area, based on the
National Association of Tax Professionals
annual survey, call or email me. I’m here
to serve our Tattler readers.

a rhyme that began: Tattletail, tattletail….
when I moved to Barefoot Bay I saw the
local paper and it reminded me of that
negative rhyme and at first I wondered
if the Tattler might be a newspaper that
promoted negativity, focusing on the “cup
being half empty instead of half full”. But,
now I know that this is not the case. I
would like to take this opportunity to speak
about Indian River Fitness (IRF) that is
located on Barefoot Blvd, Micco FL and is
advertised in this newspaper. During the
past six months, as a new member I have
met many new friends while learning about
healthy choices for my physical and physiological well-being. I have seen personal
health improvements that I did not expect.
During the past year, I had both knees
replaced and the exercise regime at the IRF
has provided me with continued improvement which has definitely enhanced my
life style. The additional benefits that one
can experience at IRF are well qualified,
enthusiastic, kind and welcoming instructors. They are always present for the
members and classes always start on time.
Personally, I enjoyed Yoga, Tone & Stretch,
while mastering (or trying to master) line
dancing and Zumba.
In the fall I look forward to returning to
this gym, which I believe is a gift for this
community. The clean facilities and the
well maintained equipment is truly another
wonderful benefit. If you have not visited
this local business, I urge you to give it a
try.
I will be going home to NH with the
knowledge that I learned here at the IRF
along with the goal to continue improving
my physical well-being and I look forward
to returning in the fall for another wonderful
winter of fun at Barefoot Bay.

“snowbirds” are very important to our
economy. My belief is that you want and
will support strong code enforcement as
well as “extra” police rotation. Keep this
message in front of your favorite Trustee.
In closing, many of you have started North,
East or West and I wish safe travel. For
those full time folks, your help is needed to
press forward with the DOR amendments
and code enforcement. The renter’s policy
workshop will not convene until after the
budget season. If you agree with these
concepts, stay in touch with the Trustees.

RENTERS POLICY & CODE
ENFORCEMENT
On April 15, 2015 your Board of Trustees
held a workshop to discuss an amendment
to the Deed of Restrictions (DOR) regarding policies and procedures for rentals in
Barefoot Bay. Over 200 of you attended
this meeting showing your concern on this
topic and listening for answers. My assessment of this workshop and discussion
was that your Board of Trustees was not
enthused to develop a DOR amendment
regarding rentals. There was a lot of talk,
but to date no real action. It appears that
the Trustees are in favor of a strong DOR
enforcement process in the hopes that
strong code enforcement will help to solve
those homes in the Bay that are not up to
standard. In this way, renters who are not
complying with the DOR will improve the
home. A large number of residents attending the April 15th meeting were upset and
worried about their own security and property protection. The Trustees has police
protection for the physical assets, i.e.:
Pools, Building A, etc., but there is no protection for the “regular folks”. Your police
protection comes from the County Sheriff.
If you have concerns regarding security
and protection, contact the Sheriff’s office
at 663-6269. It would be well for you to
advise your favorite Trustee of reporting
any concerns to the Sheriff. It is important
that the Trustees hear from you regarding
security. My overall assessment of the
situation is that you want a DOR policy to
assist “the snowbirds”, but a strong policy
for long term rentals. Remember these

Military Retirees And Survivor Benefit Plans
Just recently we learned of changes
to Survivor Benefit Plans for Military
Retirees. When first electing to have 6.5%
deducted from your retirement paycheck
for a plan that would provide 55% of your
retirement check to your spouse if (the
veteran) dies; and, if the spouse dies first
the plan could be transferred to a new
spouse. NOT ANY MORE! The Defense
Finance and Accounting Service, in
2013, with no public notice, changed the
way it interprets the law governing SBP.
For decades, DFAS allowed the transfer
of SBP benefits to a new spouse if a former spouse died before the retiree. With
the change in 2013, retirees are no longer authorized to do that. SOURCE: RAO
Bulletin, May 1, 2015).
For more information on this matter,

IV, Survivor Benefit Plan.”
MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM
Your Master of Ceremonies for this
year’s program will be Larry Lathrop, a
Legionnaire and a resident of Barefoot
Bay. He is a former Air Force pilot who
flew C-130’s in the Vietnam war zone.
A “stick” flag area has been established on the grassy area between the
Memorial Monument and the Memorial
Wall. A stick flag is a 8x12” flag on a 24”
wooden stick. Following the Rifle Salute
and playing of Taps, residents will be
encouraged to place a stick flag in the
designated area. American Legion Post
366 will provide some stick flags for distribution by Boy Scouts.
Mr. John Coffey, Community Manager,
will be our speaker. The Districts Food
and Beverage Manager will serve Hot
Dogs and Sodas inside Building A following the program. Looking forward
to seeing a large turnout for this very
special day!
The Parade will begin at 10:45 a.m.,
Monday, May 25.. 2015.

A Word From Your
Brevard County Sheriff
by Sheriff Wayne Ivey
B.A.M.
The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office
proudly presents the Brevard Attitude
Modification (B.A.M.) Program, which is
designed to take youth, ages 10 to 17,
into a jail-like setting to give them a realistic look at where continuing to make
bad choices will lead them. It also gives
them an alternative path and guidance
toward positive choices for the future.
The program is designed to help parents
with kids who are making bad choices in
life, starting to get in trouble or aligning
themselves with poor associates.
On program day, youths will appear
before a circuit court judge and be sentenced to the B.A.M. Program. They
will then be handcuffed, shackled and
loaded onto our transport bus, which
will transport them to the BAM Facility.
Upon arrival to the facility, youths will
be booked in and changed into real
jail attire. Then the program will really
begin with an interactive experience with
jail staff and prisoners. From there,
the youths will begin to learn how life
is in jail, and the consequences of their
choices.
This phenomenal program was
designed to encompass the consequences of poor attitudes, bad decisions, and
committing crimes. In this program, we
hold nothing back. The program will
give youth a healthy dose of realism and
educate them about the dangers of using
drugs and alcohol.
We also educate
them on making smart decisions when
dealing with peer pressure from friends.
We will not only teach them what not to
do, but offer them instruction and guidance in a new direction for the future.
Positive choices are presented through
life skills training and even a career fair.
The kids will see the real consequences of poor choices and what jail
is like; even eat the same meals that
inmates eat. We are also planning to
show them the ultimate consequence for
their behavior - a trip to the morgue for
participants age 14 and older. We have
safety in mind at all times and the participants will be under constant supervision.
The B.A.M. Program is currently taking registration for kids ages 10 through
17 for upcoming classes. There is no cost
to participate in this program; however,
there are a limited number of spaces
available and they will be filled on a firstcome/first-served basis.

Lightning Safety Month
In Florida, our summer has a consistent weather pattern of hot and sunny in
the morning and thunderstorms rolling
through in the late afternoon. With those
thunderstorms often comes dangerous
cloud-to-ground lightning. There are an
estimated 25 million cloud-to-ground
lightning flashes in the United States
each year. June is National Lightning
Safety Month, and it a good time to educate yourself on some safety tips to get
you through the Florida summer thunderstorms safely.
Q. What are some facts about lightning that I can share with my friends and
family?
A. Lightning can strike as far as 10
miles away, and often does not strike
in the area of heavy rain. In fact, many
lightning causalities happen before or
after a storm occurs. All thunderstorms
produce lightning and should be considered dangerous.
Q. What are some good tips to help
me and my family stay safe this summer?
A. When you and/or your family are
enjoying the Florida summer days, make
sure to remember these safety tips:
• Before setting out for a day of outdoor activities, remember to check the
weather. Know what the chances of a
thunderstorm developing are in your area
and what time it might occur. Be prepared to postpone any activities depending on the forecast.
• If you hear thunder while you are
outside, even if it appears to be far away,
immediately move to a safe space. A
safe space can include fully enclosed
buildings, sheds, picnic shelters, tents, or
covered porches. A metal, hard-topped
car with closed windows can also be a
safe option to avoid the lightening. You
should stay inside for up to 30 minutes
after you’ve heard the last rumble of
thunder.
• If you find yourself outside during
a thunderstorm and cannot find shelter,
then you should avoid open and flat
areas – you don’t want to be the tallest
object in the area! Avoid metal conductors such as wires or fences. If you
are with a group of people, spread out.
Although this increases the chances that
one person might get struck by lightning,
it can prevent multiple causalities.
• During a thunderstorm, you should
use cordless or cell phones instead of
corded phones, and keep away from
any electrical equipment and wiring.
Also, remember that water pipes conduct
electricity, so avoid taking any baths or
showers during the storm.
Q. What can I do to keep my employees safe who have an outdoor job?
A. People who work in open spaces
or near tall objects are put at a higher
risk for being struck by lightning. To
help mitigate risk, employees should
know the company’s lightning safety
warning policy. Lightning safety policies
should be issued to allow for employees
who work in high-risk areas to be given
enough notice to get to a safe place.
Employees should understand what to
avoid during a thunderstorm and what
the appropriate actions should be taken
in the event a thunderstorm occurs during work hours.
Q. What should I do if someone is
struck by lightning?
A. If you are nearby and someone
has been struck by lightning, remember
these things:
• Call 9-1-1 for help and assistance.
• If possible, you should move the victim to a safer place. Lightning can strike
twice, and you don’t want to put yourself
or the victim in any more danger.
• Do not be afraid to touch the victim.
If the person requires first aid or CPR,
you should not delay for fear of being
shocked—lightning victims do not carry
electrical charges after being struck.
Q. What are some common myths of
lightning?
A. Here are a few common myths
people have about lightning:
Myth –Lightning never strikes in the
same place twice.
Fact – Lightning often strikes the
same place repeatedly, especially tall,
isolated places.
Myth - It is the rubber tires on the car
that protects you from lightning.
Fact – It is actually the metal roof and
sides that protect you from lightning. If
lightning strikes your car, it follows the
metal to the ground. It is important to
seek shelter in a metal-covered car and
not a convertible during a storm.
Myth – If it is not raining or there are
no clouds above you, then you are safe
from lightning.
Fact – Lightning can strike from more
than three miles from the storm cloud, so
be aware of any oncoming weather.

It’s time to enhance your life with the MDI Denture Stabilization System!
What is the MDI Denture Stabilization System?
Laugh,
talk, live
with comfort and confidence
Is your loose denture causing you to:
• miss out on life’s simple pleasures?
• miss eating your favorite foods,
like steak or corn on the cob?
• be afraid to laugh, smile or speak
in public?
The MDI system consists of a miniature titanium alloy that acts like the
root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorperated into the
base of your denture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball,
and the retaining fixture acts like a socket with a rubber O-ring.
The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds
the denture firmly in place. When seated, the denture gently rests
on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-mobility while
withstanding natural lifting forces.

The American Legion Auxiliary was
begun in 1920. Today the Auxiliary stands
1 million strong. We are dedicated to helping the American Legion, helping veterans
and for the greater good. In that interest
Unit 366 is sending a female junior in
high school to a program entitled Girls
State. She and some 350 girls from all
over Florida will be studying the two party
political system in Tallahassee, Florida
from July 9 to July 17, 2015. This program is entirely funded by the various
Auxiliary Units in the state. Florida has
one of the top programs in the United
States. The girls will sit in the same chairs
as our representatives do in the capital
building. They will introduce congressional
bills for discussion and possible passage
within their program. The girls will have
the opportunity to vie for several scholarships for colleges and universities in the
State of Florida. They also have the opportunity to be selected for a similar program
called Girls Nation in Washington D.C.
We look forward to our delegate returning
to Barefoot Bay and telling us about her
experience in Tallahassee.
On another note, our President Rhoda
Barnett has returned and is once again
eager to lead our unit in all the programs
we do. Welcome Home Rhoda.
Our next meeting will be May 19, 2015
at 7PM in Building E. At that time we will
have election of officers. Guests are welcome since we are always interested in
acquiring new members. This is our last
meeting before the summer recess. We
will resume our regular meetings on the
third Tuesday of the month in September.
On May 4, 2015 several of our members baked dozens of cookies for Teacher
Appreciation Week and delivered them to
Sebastian Elementary School. This was a
special thank you for helping us with our
essay program for fourth and fifth graders.
For God and Country.

for managing our monthly and Art Show
refreshment tables. Please remember that
Building D will be available all summer
for painting from 1 to 4 PM on Mondays
and the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Fridays. This
could be a great way to beat the heat while
enjoying the company of other Art Club
peers. Let’s keep those creative juices
flowing! May everyone have a healthy,
same summer here in the Bay or up North
and we look forward to seeing you on
October 17th.

CHESS CLUB
A bit of chess player history. Most of
the snowbirds have flown back north for
the summer, leaving our core group of
four or five players. Any permanent residents that want to play are most welcome.
Sitting in an air-conditioned space playing
chess is a good way to beat the heat and
have fun at the same time. Our schedule
is:
Week 1 – Wednesday, Building C,
8:30am
Week 2 – Wednesday, Library, 10:00am
Week 3 – Wednesday, Building C,

Week 4 – Thursday, Building C, 8:30am
Week 5 (If there is one) – Thursday,

The first great chess player: Francois
Andre Danican-Philidor François-André
Danican Philidor (September 7, 1726 –
August 31, 1795), often referred to as
André Danican Philidor during his lifetime,
was a French composer and chess player.
He contributed to the early development of
the opéra comique. He was also regarded
as the best chess player of his age; his
book Analyse du jeu des Échecs was
considered a standard chess manual for
at least a century, and a well-known chess
opening and a checkmate method are
both named after him. The opening can
be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/

Barefoot Bay Computer Club
The Barefoot Bay Computer Club continues to meet during the summer months
with a “roundtable” format. Members
and prospective members are encouraged
to bring their laptop computers or other
devices to get ‘one on one’ help with any
problems you may be having using the
devices, getting internet help, working
with programs, and the very basics of letter writing, spreadsheets, social media and
photos. Help with smart phones, I Pads
and other tablets is also available. This
is a great way to find out which tablet or
smart phone would be best for you if you
plan to purchase one in the near future.
For every question you may have, there
are generally two or more people who
have encountered the same problem and
have a workable solution to resolve it. The
roundtable meetings are on the 4th Friday
of each month at 6:30 p.m. at Building
D&E. There is no business meeting or formal presentations during June, July and
August. Join us on Friday, June 26th at
6:30 p.m. If you do not have a lap top or
portable computer to use, come anyway,
there will be several lap tops with different
operating systems and different versions
of software to work with.

CONSERVATIVE CLUB
Who really cares? Who gives and who
doesn’t? Liberals or Conservatives? Who
do you think? Arthur Brooks in his book,
Who Really Cares, (subtitle) “America’s
Charity Divide, Who Gives, Who Doesn’t
and Why It Matters” has found that 225
million give away money each year, 75
million never give, further 130 million
never volunteer.
He writes about “America the
Charitable” who spill abundance over to
the rest of us, and “America the Selfish”
who threaten our prosperity by their policies and the culture that they encourage.
Conventional wisdom runs like this:
Liberals are charitable because they advocate government redistribution in the
name of social justice; conservatives are
uncharitable because they oppose these
policies. Notice the sleight of hand:
Government spending, according to this
logic, is a form of charity. Let’s be clear
government spending is not charity.
Liberals have used this to attack conservatives as selfish. When people attack
the integrity of those who disagree with
them, it constitutes evidence that they are
the uncharitable ones. When we look past
the strident slogans and sarcastic political caricatures, what does the data tell us
exactly?
So who really cares? Brooks shows
conservatives, especially religious conservatives, out give liberals by 4 to 1 when
it comes to the dollars that they give and
the hours they volunteer. (Since Brooks
wrote this book the ration has risen in
favor of conservatives.)
Brooks concludes: “This book has shown that one
of the greatest political hypocrisies of our
time is the pious sloganeering about liberals in America being more compassionate
than conservatives. This stereotype is
false, and it is a disservice to our country.”
Liberals are generous with other people’s
money, not their own.
Conservatives are the only people
on the political landscape that have
any answers and making a difference.
Answers to our problems are found in the
Constitution. The Constitution was written to protect the liberty of the American
people and limit the harm power hungry
politicians can do. We need to elect
people, who respect, revere and obey the
Constitution, and vote out of office those
who do not. Get involved.
The Barefoot Bay Conservative Club
meets the fourth (4th) Wednesday of the
month from 2:30 – 3:30pm in Building D
between the 19th hole and pro-shop. Our
next meeting will be in September.

ITALIAN AMERICAN CLUB
The Italian-American Club of Barefoot
Bay had its last meeting before the summer on April 26, 2015. We had a barbecue served by 2002 which consisted
of a Hamburger, Hot dog, baked beans,
coleslaw and coconut cake. The meeting
was enjoyed by all with entertainment by
Steve Cole. Meetings will begin again in
October with a dinner of chicken Piccata
and entertainment with Sax on the Beach.
There will be no November meeting due to
our Christmas party being on December
12, 2015. Have a great summer and be
ready for good times once again in the fall
with many planned events.

PATHFINDERS
The Barefoot Bay Pathfinders Travel
Club enjoyed an exciting trip on Tuesday,
May 12th. Leaving the parking lot of
Building A early, we began our journey
north to Jacksonville and the Robotics
Factory. The Sally Corp. has built historic
figures, animatronic animals, and even
dinosaurs for over 35 years. We were
not disappointed in the tour of this facility. A delicious lunch followed at Fionn
MacCool’s Irish Restaurant with views
of the water. After lunch, we toured the
Budweiser Brewery before heading for
home. Upcoming trips are as follows,
on Friday, July 31st, we will travel to
Winter Park to see “Dames at Sea” at
the Winter Park Playhouse and lunch at
the Cheesecake Factory. On Thursday,
September 24th, we will have a fabulous
lunch at the renowned Mission Inn in
Howey in the Hills, visit the Yalaha Bakery,
and enjoy a tour and wine-tasting at the
Lakeridge Winery. On November 11,
we will enjoy a buffet dinner before taking in an evening performance of Roger
& Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” at the Dr.
Phillips Center in Orlando. And finally,
on December 4th, we will visit Bok Tower
for the holidays. Please consider joining us for these trips. Flyers are located

mentary. You had brought out the negative however, you failed to talk about the
positive. For a brief minute I thought I was
reading the NY Times. For example, the
County allows handicap ramps as long as
they conform to the neighborhood and are
not intrusive and that’s right out of Brevard
County R&R’s. You must have “dozed off”
when I wrote “I have no problem with the
building of the ramp.” It’s just how it was
left and yes it still is an eyesore, a coat
of paint would have done wonders. Of all
people who should have known better,
ARC built it and should have completed
the project with a coat of paint, once again
rules are selectively enforced. I didn’t complain to the county, I know the lady needs
a ramp, not anywhere did I say it needs to
be removed, I just made a statement that
it was an eyesore. So that’s how it is with
you, voice an opinion and that makes me
un-Christian. Ok, “Holier than Thou”…why
don’t you take a minute while YOU look at
yourself in a mirror before you pass judgment on me, I’ll bet you have a “few skeletons in your closet.”
So, Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! You wonder
why there is a select few that are the only
ones complaining. I can answer that, it is
because there are only a select few with
common sense and will not be pushed
around. It’s all about being courteous and
respectful and you will get the same back.
If you understood my letter instead of looking to “spin it,” you would have seen that
didn’t happen. Remember it “takes two to
Tango.”
Ok, you threw around a couple $5.00
dollar words, not impressed, however
here’s a thousand dollar word you came
up with and I’m still laughing….. there was
a reference you made to Andy’s head wear
and that he wears a “Foo Rag.” Let’s see,
Andy does have long hair and at one time
so did I, I have been riding motorcycles
most likely as long as you are old, went to
rallies for over 25 years, rode with some
bad-ass hardcore, friends, relatives and
cops and I have to tell you, a Foo Rag is an
unknown to me, honestly Marcia, I never
heard of a Foo Rag. Is that some kind of
feminine hygiene product, something one
could buy at Walgreens???
Let’s continue, here’s a five thousand
dollar quote… I’ll quote one of your infamous lines…..The old adage.. “a few bad
apples spoils the shoe bunch.” Ok, let’s
think about this a minute, I suppose if you
threw a stinking sweaty smelly shoe in with
an apple it could possibly spoil the apple
and the bunch but that doesn’t make
sense. Oh! Oh!...I got it, If you throw bad
apples into a bunch of shoes you will spoil
all the bunches of shoes…yeah, that’s it,
nothing worse than a spoiled shoe bunch.
I guess some people have intelligence….
some don’t ….just saying................
So you want to help me pack, that’s
funny. You might want to consider packing yourself, remember the TV show…
”de plainne boss, de plainne is coming,”
well….. “de traine boss, de traine is coming”… and for that reason when I’m ready
I will be long gone…..can your side of the
community say “eminent domain” and
they are powerful enough to take whatever
they want.
In your commentary you remarked how
proud you were to be living in what was nicknamed “ Mayberry” and so you assumed a
character from the show AKA Mr and Mrs
Otis Cambell, you do know Otis was the town
drunk………………………………………….

We Accept Medicare & Most Insurance Plans - Se Habla Español
The article below is By ALINA SIMONE and is from the New York Times
on JAN. 2, 2015
MY mother received the ransomnote
on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
It popped up on her computer screen
soon after she’d discovered that all of
her files had been locked. “Your files are
encrypted,” it announced. “To get the
key to decrypt files you have to pay 500
USD.” If my mother failed to pay within
a week, the price would go up to $1,000.
After that, her decryption key would be
destroyed and any chance of accessing
the 5,726 files on her PC — all of her data
— would be lost forever.
Sincerely, CryptoWall.
CryptoWall 2.0 is the latest immunoresistant strain of a larger body of viruses known as ransomware. The virus is
thought to infiltrate your computer when
you click on a legitimate-looking attachment or through existing malware lurking
on your hard drive, and once unleashed
it instantly encrypts all your files, barring
access to a single photo or tax receipt.
Everyone has the same questions
when they first hear about CryptoWall:
Is there any other way to get rid of
it besides paying the ransom? No — it
appears to be technologically impossible for anyone to decrypt your files
once CryptoWall 2.0 has locked them.
(My mother had several I.T. professionals try.)
But should you really be handing money over to a bunch of criminals? According to the Internet Crime
Complaint Center, a partnership between
the F.B.I. and the National White Collar
Crime Center, this answer is also no.
“Ransomware messages are an attempt
to extort money,” one public service
announcement helpfully explains. “If you
have received a ransomware message do
not follow payment instructions and file a
complaint.” Right. But that won’t get you
your files back. Which is why the Sheriff’s
Office of Dickson County, Tenn., recently
CYAN MEGENTA YELLOW BLACK
paid a CryptoWall ransom to unlock
72,000 autopsy reports, witness statements, crime scene photographs and
other documents.
Finally, can law enforcement at least
do something to stop these attacks in the
future? Probably not. Many ransomware
viruses originate in Russia and other
former Soviet bloc countries. The main
difficulty in stopping cybercriminals isn’t
finding them, but getting foreign governments to cooperate and extradite them.
By the time my mom called to ask
for my help, it was already Day 6 and
the clock was ticking. (Literally — the
virus comes with a countdown clock,
ratcheting up the pressure to pay.) My
father had already spent all week trying
to convince her that losing six months of
files wasn’t the end of the world (she had
last backed up her computer in May). It
was pointless to argue with her. She had
thought through all of her options; she
wanted to pay.
Only, paying turned out not to be so
easy; the CryptoWall hackers take only
Bitcoins.
Picture the kind of early-adopting,
hoodie-wearing member of the technocracy totally comfy with the idea of a
cybercurrency neither backed nor issued
by any central bank or government. Now
picture the opposite of that. That is my
mom. Having never so much as purchased an app in her life, my mom had
no idea how to buy Bitcoins. Happily, her
ransomers had anticipated this problem
and included a link to a step-by-step
guide, complete with pictures.
She’d managed to make a cash deposit
via Bank of America to the unique Bitcoin
“wallet” provided by her ransomers, but
since Bitcoin’s price is extremely volatile,
her payment had already fallen $25 short

RV CLUB
The last official outing for the RV Club
was held April 21 - 25 at Lazy Days RV
Resort in Seffner, Florida. Though we
had a small group, as some members
have already headed to their Northern
homes, we had an fun time, The Resort
offers many amenities including a large
screened in pool with a hot tub and the
Exit 10 Pub and Grille. The Resort is
adjacent to the Lazy Days RV dealership
that offers recreational units from pop-ups
to 45’ luxury motor homes all available
for your viewing without the hassle of a
sales person. One of our couples could
not resist the temptation and are now the
proud owners of a new motor home. We
enjoyed our evening Happy Hours, dinner at the Columbia restaurant in Ybor
City, and tried our luck at the Hard Rock
Casino that is located only minutes from
the Resort. Our final activity, until the
Fall, is our annual picnic at Golden Sands
beach. To all of our snowbird members,
Safe Travels, and we look forward seeing
you in October.

learning more about the RV Club, please

TENNIS CLUB
On March 28th the Tennis Club had
their Annual Picnic at pool 1. Everyone
brought a delicious dish to share and
the cooks, Lew, Rod and Stan, kept the
hamburgers and hotdogs flowing. It was a
beautiful day to gather with friends at the
pool. Doogie provided us with music and
dancing was a favorite among all. The
tennis club had their last mixed doubles
match against Woodfield on April 11th.
Even though we lost 2-5, we played
good tennis and had lots of fun. A special
thanks goes to Susie and George for keeping the scores and putting the food out.
Also Sherry for setting up the tables and
getting the courts ready. Thanks to those
who came out to watch and cheer us on.
Tournaments are done for the season, but
we still play tennis weekdays. We try to
start 7-7:30 because of the heat. Come
join us. If interested, we can set up some
evening games. It is that time of the year,
that we say good bye to the “Snowbirds”.
Till next season have safe travel. Stay fit,
play tennis!

Upstate NY Club
The latest news about the Upstate Club
wasn’t ready for the April Tattler so here
it is included in the May Tattler. The final
get together was the annual picnic held on
April 15. The picnic was held in Building
A. Zweigle hotdogs from Rochester were
cooked by the grill masters, Dick Allen,
Dean Bly, Ernie Borer, Ray Gentner, Bob
Rice, and Pete Rosati. Wow, what a team
of chiefs. The hotdogs were cooked perfectly.
President Barb Maginn ran a short
meeting. Cathie said that this was her
last year as chairman of the calling committee. Barb thanked her for her service. Sharon Rosati volunteered to take
over Cathie’s job as chairman. Barb
gave information about the 2015-2016
season. November will be the Welcome
Back pizza party. December and January
will be potluck dinners. February will
feature a special evening with a catered
dinner. The St. Patrick’s Day catered
dinner will be in March and the annual
picnic again in April. As always there will
be entertainment after the dinners. Pete
Rosati suggested the club run a raffle for
a TV as the prize. More information will
be given in November. The entertainment following the picnic dinner was The
Amazing Chiaverini. He was, as always,
very entertaining as he kept the audience
spellbound. The evening ended with the
sharing drawing. Sharon Rosati and Jim
Ling were the winners. Congratulations!
All New Yorkers who have lived anywhere
in the state of New York at any time are
welcome to attend and become members.
Also new changes to the bylaws are allowing non- New Yorkers along with a member’s sponsorship to join the club. Please
think about joining the club next year as it
would love to have you.

Here we are in the middle of spring
and it feels like summer! Contrary to
what we read and hear while God does
expect us to accept responsibility for caring for His worlds, He is always in control
so relax!
Our beloved snowbirds are leaving us,
it seems as though every Sunday there
are more empty chairs where our northern friends were sitting. We pray that they
all have a safe trip home and enjoy their
summer in the cooler temperatures. We
miss them already but know that the time
will go by fast until they return.
As a church we are also starting to
slow down for the summer. The Women’s
bible study will take a couple of months
vacation and Pastor’s bible study is put
on hold while he teaches and trains future
Stephen’s ministers. As a half time Pastor
he is not able to physically do all that he
would like to do for Concordia. Our quilters, marvelous untiring women that they
are, are on a break so they also will take
some time off this summer. We worship
our Lord during our Sunday service at
10:30 regardless of the season. Please
join us and learn more about God’s forgiving, amazing Love for all His children.
I was so excited last month about all
our Easter preparations and services that
I let Mother’s Day pass me by. Please
forgive me! As a Mom I would be very
upset if my “kids” forgot. So all of you
who still have a Mom here in your life,
give her a belated hug and tell her how
much you love her. And as Father’s Day
is fast approaching it would be great to
also remind Dad how important he is in
your life. In Exodus 20 God commands
us to honor our mothers and fathers.
Ephesians 2-8: For it is by Grace we
have been saved through Faith and this
is not from ourselves, it is the gift of God!
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH
One of the wonderful ministries of the
wonderful First Presbyterian Church is
the First Presbyterian Church Thrift Shop.
It operates Tuesdays and Thursdays to
Saturdays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. We are so
glad for the Thrift Shop because it gives
us a way to meet and help very interesting people. Some are bargain hunters
looking for unusual items but others are
down on their luck and need clothing
and other items at rock-bottom prices.
But we’re also glad for the Thrift Shop
because it gives our members a way to
be active. Volunteering keeps everyone
fresh and we have many who take turns
sorting, helping customers, and checking
people out at the register. Finally, we’re
glad for the Thrift Shop because so many
in our community find that they have to
downsize or care for the estate of a loved
one who has passed away. In these circumstances people want to be of help, to
know that their items are going to a good
place where people and a church are
benefited. So if you haven’t been by yet,
find us north along the railroad tracks off
Main Street (or behind City Hall by the
recreation fields).
Don’t forget that Mother’s Day is this
month. It’s a good time to be in church!
We’ll be featuring three young siblings of
Haitian descent who have terrific musical talent. Keep up to date on them
and other happenings by visiting our
Facebook page (https://www.facebook.
com/welovefirstsebastian) and/or our
website (www.welovefirst.org). At our
website, you can find a tab on the Thrift
Shop as well. Remember our services
are at 10 a.m. each and every Sunday.

Avenue, Sebastian is now on its summer schedule. If you have any items of
furniture and need a pick-up service, call

River of Life Church
May showers bring heat and humidity. I hope all the moms had a wonderful Mothers Day. At River of Life church
each mom received a special gift in
recognition of all they do and have sacrificed for their children. Our yard sale to
raise money for Missions was a huge success and I want to thank Linda Marlow
and the many others for all their hard
work to see it through. We were able to
Support Youth Alive in the state of FL.
Youth Alive is a program that equips and
empowers the next generation to reach
every student in every school across
Peninsular Florida with the message of
Jesus Christ. River of Life Church has
just started a new men’s Bible Study that
meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of
each month from 3-5 in the afternoon.
All men in the area are invited to join us,
please call the church at 772-571-7617
for location information.
If you don’t
have a church here in the Barefoot Bay
area please join us at River of Life Church
on Sunday mornings at 10:30AM in the
Barefoot Bay community center (“A”
building) located at 625 Barefoot Blvd.
If you have children or grandchildren we
offer children’s church at the same time,
all children are welcome to attend. Our
midweek services are held Thursday evenings at 7:00PM (Prayer at 6:30) at the
Barefoot Bay Senior Care Center next to
the Library. The women of River of Life
meet the 2nd Monday of each month at

by the time it arrived. (Credit and debit
payments can take up to six days to process.) The fastest way to send the extra
$25 was to make a direct deposit at an
A.T.M. that handled Bitcoin transactions.
That’s where I came in. Coin Cafe, the
Bitcoin provider my mother had chosen,
had an A.T.M. in Greenpoint, Brooklyn,
not too far from where I lived.
The Bitcoin A.T.M. was not easy to
find. It was housed in the second floor
hallway of a cooperative work space,
tucked inside an old Nynex phone booth.
On one hand, I appreciated the winking
irony of this sight gag. On the other hand,
Fidelity Investments this was not.
Inside was a little white box with no
buttons, just a screen, a camera eye and
a money slot. I scanned in the QR code
my mom had sent me. The machine
whirred to life. “Balance query in progress,” it announced. This query remained
in progress for the next 20 minutes during which I left three messages on Coin
Cafe’s voice mail before abandoning
the booth to get some coffee and walk
around in the rain.
The fourth time I called, a human
being answered the phone and told me
the problem had been fixed. I hurried
back to the A.T.M., scanned in my QR
code, sent some Voldemorts $25 in crisp
bills and called my mom. The whole
experience had not done much to allay
my misgivings about Bitcoin; what did
allay them was Mike Hoats, the nice
bearded man Coin Cafe sent over to fix
the A.T.M.
We got to talking after I made my payment, and he told me that, while no one
at Coin Cafe believed people should fund
criminal activity by paying the ransom,
their job was to broker the purchase and
sale of Bitcoins, which, like cash, could
be used for any purpose. CryptoWall
had thrust them into the unwitting role
of ransomware advisers, coping with
grandmothers crying on the phone at
the thought of losing all their photos
or small-business owners whose family
income was on the line. Coin Cafe didn’t
like profiting from the victims (according
to the company, these transactions are in
the low single digits as a percentage of its
total business), but they were downright
mortified to learn that CryptoWall had
anointed them as one of their Bitcoin
providers of choice, with praise for their
“fast, simple service.” That’s how my
mom found out about Coin Cafe — from
her ransom note.
This referral is only one of the handy
services CryptoWall provides to ensure
a more seamless customer experience.
Others include the ability to “decrypt
one file for free” and a message interface
one can use “in case of any problems
with payment or having any other questions.” What next, I wondered. Twenty
percent off when you refer this malware
to a friend? Frequent virus cards? Black
Friday ransom specials?
“I THINK they like the idea they don’t
have to pretend they’re not criminals,”
Chester Wisniewski, a senior security
adviser at the computer security firm
Sophos, told me when I reached him
in Vancouver by phone. “By using the
fact that they’re criminals to scare you,
it’s just a lot easier on them.” They
don’t have to hire a professional translator to get their English perfect, Mr.
Wisniewski explained, or engage in any
of the baroque subterfuge required of
someone pretending to be a Nigerian
gentleman farmer who just needs a little
help claiming his inheritance.
In addition to being criminals, these
peddlers of ransomware are clearly businesspeople, skillfully appropriating all
the tools of e-commerce. From branding
(CryptoWall is a variant of a fearsome
earlier virus called CryptoLocker, which
was shut down last year) to determining
what they can extort (ransomware hackers have tested the market with prices as
low as $100 and as high as $800,000,
which the city of Detroit refused to pay
in order to have its database decrypted),
these operators are, as Mr. Wisniewski
put it, part of “a very mature, well-oiled
capitalist machine.” It’s also an incredibly lucrative machine: Some experts estimate that CryptoLocker hackers cleared
around $30 million in 100 days in 2013.
And more than a million PCs worldwide
have been hit with the CryptoWall virus.
Even after reading through numerous descriptions of CryptoWall 2.0 as
“the largest and most destructive ransomware threat on the Internet” and “an
enormous danger for computer users,”
I still couldn’t help thinking this was
mainly a problem for moms who persist in using big, boxy PC computers
and small-town police departments. Mr.
Wisniewski quickly disabused me of that
notion. Although CryptoWall has primarily affected Windows computers and
Android cellphones so far, there is no
technological barrier that prevents the
virus from infiltrating Macs like mine.
And when it does, Mr. Wisniewski chuckled, I should expect the ransom to be a
lot higher.
So what can we all do to protect
ourselves? Keep our computers backed
up on an independent drive or by using
a cloud backup service like Carbonite,
take those software update and “patch”
alerts seriously and, most of all, Beware
the Attachment. (Remember: Brandname businesses like J. Crew or Bank of
America will rarely send you an attachment.)
Of course, this advice arrives too late
for my mom. And it appeared her payment had arrived too late as well: By the
time I got home from Greenpoint, her
CryptoWall ransom had been raised to
$1,000, and the $500 in Bitcoins she had
deposited had vanished. In a panic, she
wrote to Mike Hoats asking for advice.
What he told her sounded crazy to me.
Use the CryptoWall message interface to
tell the criminals exactly what happened.
Be honest, in other words.
So she did. She explained that the
virus had struck the same week that a
major snowstorm hit Massachusetts and
the Thanksgiving holiday shut down the
banks. She told them about the unexpected Bitcoin shortfall and about dispatching her daughter to the Coin Cafe
A.T.M. at the 11th hour. She swore she
had really, really tried not to miss their
deadline. And then a weird thing happened: Her decryption key arrived.
When I shared the news with Mr.
Hoats, he was jubilant. “That is great
news, truly!” he wrote. “Whoever these
yahoos are, they have some little shred
of humanity.”
But Mr. Wisniewski had a more pragmatic take. “From what we can tell,
they almost always honor what they say
because they want word to get around
that they’re trustworthy criminals who’ll
give you your files back.”
Welcome to the new ransomware
economy, where hackers have a reputation to consider.

Advice given in this column is not intended to be a business solicitation. All advice given is
general in nature, and not meant to establish reliance thereon. Each case involves unique
facts and circumstances. Your personal experiences and results may differ. Please consult
with qualified legal counsel concerning your rights and responsibilities in matters of law.
Q – If I hit my golf ball off the fairway and into someone’s property along
the golf course, can I retrieve it ? Am I
responsible for any damage done by my
ball ?
A – A person who enters another’s
property without permission or just cause
may legally be held liable for the civil tort
of trespassing. There may also be criminal arrest exposure depending on the
facts and circumstances involved.
Trespassing remains one of the oldest
torts in civil law, but a cause of action
for civil trespass basically exists only in
circumstances where the trespasser has
ignored posted warnings against such
encroachment. Common law states that
a person may enter another’s property
only with the permission of the property
owner, or when sufficient legal excuse or
justification exists – usually a true emergency or necessity.
Without permission to enter the property of another, legal justification to enter
another’s land by necessity or emergency, must exist. Retrieving errant personal
property such as golf balls, no matter
how valuable or lucky, generally does not
constitute a situation justifying necessity
or emergency. A trespasser is also generally liable to the property owner for all
damages caused by the trespass, unless
somehow excused or justified by law.
Permission for golfers to enter another’s property to retrieve errant golf balls
may be implied in many golf course
communities, based on deed restrictions
and/or covenants creating a permissive
easement to allow for golfers retrieval of
errant golf balls hit onto other’s property
in golf course communities at reasonable
times and in a non-reckless manner.
This is a reason why “fairway homes” are
rarely allowed to fence in their property
along the golf course.
The errant golf ball remains the property of the golfer striking it, and ownership of the ball is not transferred by
any trespass caused by the errant shot,
however, damage caused by errant golf
course balls entering the property of
others residing near the fairways may
or may not be excused by law. Legal
excuse would be based on the doctrine
of assumption of risk.
Knowledgeable and voluntary exposure to risk is the bedrock upon which
the legal doctrine of assumption of
risk rests. Most golf course community
property deeds and covenants protect
both the golfers playing the course, and
golf course owners and operators, from
any liability for damages caused by
errant golf balls through placement of an
assumption of risk contract clause as a
condition of property purchase along the
fairways.
Every owner of property in a golf
course community should become familiar with the applicable sections of all
deed restrictions, covenants and easements governing that property. It may
be wise to add or upgrade your homeowner’s insurance policy to fully cover
any such risks.
Golfers owe a duty of reasonable and
ordinary care when striking a golf ball,
which includes giving traditional verbal
notice (“fore! “), and striking the ball
in a proper manner. A golfer may be
responsible for any damage caused by
intentional or recklessly hit golf balls.
Repeatedly striking errant shots from
the same golfing position may border
on recklessness conduct, so sometimes
it’s best to just pick up the ball and take
some golf lessons to correct that wild
swing!
Riverside Surgery Center of Sebastian
Achieves AAAHC Accreditation
Riverside Surgery Center has achieved
accreditation by the Accreditation
Association for Ambulatory Health Care
(AAAHC). Accreditation distinguishes
this surgical center from many other
outpatient facilities by providing the
highest quality of care to its patients as
determined by an independent, external
process of evaluation.
Status as an accredited organization
means Riverside Surgery Center has met
nationally recognized standards for the
provision of quality health care set by
AAAHC. More than 6,000 ambulatory health care organizations across the
United States are accredited by AAAHC.
Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all that
undergo the rigorous on-site survey process are granted accreditation.
“We believe our patients deserve the
best,” stated Ralph B. Monnett, Jr, MD of
Riverside Surgery Center. “When you see
our certificate of accreditation, you will
know that AAAHC, an independent, notfor-profit organization, has closely examined our facility and procedures. It means
we as an organization care enough about
our patients to strive for the highest level
of care possible.”
Ambulatory health care organizations
seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and onsite survey by AAAHC expert surveyors
– physicians, nurses, and administrators
who are actively involved in ambulatory
health care. The survey is consultative
and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its
care and services.
“Going through the process challenged us to find better ways to serve our
patients, and it is a constant reminder
that our responsibility is to strive to continuously improve the quality of care we
provide,” said Monnett.
The Accreditation Association for
Ambulatory Health Care, founded in 1979,
is the leader in ambulatory health care
accreditation with more than 6,000 organizations accredited nationwide. AAAHC
accredits a variety of organizations including, ambulatory surgery centers, officebased surgery centers, endoscopy centers,
student health centers, military health care
clinics, and large medical and dental practices.

Laughter A Form Of Exercise?
Have you ever considered that laughter is actually a form of exercise? It is! For
best results though, it is important to use it in addition to other forms of exercise or
movement, not instead of them.
There is more medical research being done to show the true possible benefits of
laughter. For example, they report that laughter has terrific benefits for your heart.
Laughter can actually send 20% more blood flowing through your entire body, relaxing the walls of your vessels.
Laughter is a tool to break down barriers, open lines of communication, create
positive bonds between people and cultivate supportive relationships.
There will be a class on May 28, 2015 at the North Indian River County Library at
10:30 a.m. to explore the idea of laughing on demand. It is an interactive class for
adults and it is FREE.
