Manager’s Report:
J. Schultz reported that we are almost done
with cleaning the leaves and will begin blowing
off the roofs and gutters.
There was an article in the Leisure Village
West News for snow removal procedures and a
question about parking on the driveway during
snow removal. Residents are asked to keep the
driveway clear and not park on the street during
this time. Vehicles can be parked in 72-hour
parking at the clubhouses.
There will be an expense of $6,438.50 for
electrical panel boxes to be voted on at the
January 7 board meeting.
Old Business (Items Pending)
FHA CERTIFICATION: J. Schultz reported
that the Association received its certification
and this item will be removed from the agenda.
Fran McGovern, Esq.
M. Lamberti asked Mr. McGovern about
Schedule C of the Bylaws and the rule that
no owner shall be permitted to post any signs
outside in the interior of the unit where it
can be seen. Mr. McGovern said that the
Supreme Court said that the political signs were
permitted. The Association can regulate the
size, time and placement of the signs.
E. Baumeister said most residents do not
oppose signs inside the house, and asked
to clarify whether residents can place signs
outside the house because she is concerned
with protecting the architectural integrity of
the village. Mr. McGovern stated that if our
documents require a vote to change this rule,
this vote should start now to go out to the unit
owners.
S. Zitelli said that some time ago residents
wanted to put alarm company signs outside and
the Board allowed them in the five foot area.
A. D’Amato asked about political
solicitation and whether he would be allowed
Continued on page 5
February, 2015
Leisure Village West News
Page 5
Board of Trustees’ Workshop Meeting Minutes of December 17, 2014
Continued from page 4
to solicit to run for trustee. Mr. McGovern said that
flyers would be permitted door to door, according to
a recent court case.
E. Silverstein asked if he was to run for trustee,
could he send out 3000 post cards.
M. Lamberti said previous trustee elections
required candidates to sign a code of conduct that only
allowed them to place flyers in the clubhouses. Mr.
McGovern said that the Association cannot compel
people to sign an agreement or ban solicitation.
S. Kaufman reminded everyone that the next
Board meeting is January 7 at 1 p.m. in Willow Hall
and January 28 at 2 p.m. for the annual audit and 7
p.m. for the Board workshop in Willow Hall.
Audience comments:
C. Brignola and I. Dissis offered a proposal to form
a group of residents to research the various needs,
opportunities, requests and concerns to enhance the
efficiency in running the village.
A. D’Amato asked about the gym hours on the
creeper and why it needs to be posted. He asked if
the Resident to Resident services can be posted on
creeper.com.
J. Ercolino said he would like to see the maintenance
fee increased fifty-cents to be built into the budget as
a bonus to the workers. He also asked if the workers
can have the same number placed on their vest as
the vehicle they are working with. He also said that
a supervisor told him that his lawn will turn brown
at the first frost. So far he still has a green lawn and
the Association should educate the workers about
fertilizing and watering.
L. Fisher said there is a hill on the front of her yard
and there are tire marks from the person doing leaf
cleaning and he also knocked over a walkway light.
Ms. Kaufman reported that the Board received a
letter from a resident suggesting that the walk lights
be turned off during the late night and early morning
hours and the Board was not in favor of this.
E. Silverstein said he is 110% against increasing
the maintenance fee. He also suggested checking
everyone coming through the security gates by asking
for their driver’s license and registration.
Ms. Kaufman mentioned that there is a gratuity
box located at the clubhouses for residents who wish to
donate. This money is distributed among the workers
excluding management.
There being nothing further to discuss, the meeting
ended at approximately 8:10 p.m.
Board of Trustees’
Meeting – Jan 7, 2015
Present at the meeting were M. Traum, R.
Steenweg, S. Tozzi, S. Kaufman, C. Frattini and
Community Manager Joseph Schultz. Tom Ryan and
Charles Lupo were absent from this meeting.
The meeting commenced at approximately 1 p.m.
followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Appearances:
Tony Fusco, Vice President of Marion Security
attended the meeting to explain what his Security
Company does for the community and mentioned
that his goal is to make the service better for the
village. He discussed the issues of visitors showing
up at a unit without the guard calling the resident as
well as the issue of both the resident gate and visitor
gate opening up at the same time causing a potential
accident. The training of the guards is ongoing and
he has drafted an incident form that can be filled out
either by a resident or the Association office giving
complete details of an incident. He stated that the
sooner he receives the incident report, the faster he
can investigate the situation.
Items discussed and voted on:
S. Tozzi moved to approve the Minutes for the
December 3 and December 17, 2014 meetings. C.
Frattini seconded. All in favor. T. Ryan and C. Lupo

23A Sterling Street and 456A Chesterfield Court for a
total of $6,438.50. The funds to meet this expense will
be provided by account #3295-Capital ReplacementExterior Restoration and Infrastructure. M. Traum
seconded. All in favor. T. Ryan and C. Lupo absent
from this meeting.
Manager’s Report:
J. Schultz reported that Marge Camposano, the
Leisure Village West News Editor is no longer with
us and the new editor is Ayme Friggle. Ms. Friggle’s
email address is news@lvwa.net and articles can be
emailed electronically to speed up the process.
The Master Deed will be distributed from all
recreation halls and the Association office. Residents
can come in and sign for the master deed when they
pick it up.
New Business:
J. Schultz reported that the Board is considering
allowing residents to purchase two transponders per
unit at $50 per transponder for one year and can be
renewed annually for $50.
There is a proposal to install a ladies and men’s
bathroom at the Encore pump house which will be
discussed at the next meeting.
A car is being donated to the Village, where a
resident can call for a ride to recreation events during
the evening hours. The vehicle will be insured under
the Association’s Inland Marine insurance policy and
volunteer residents will be used to drive the car. The
vehicle will not be permitted to go outside the village.
A donation of $1 each way would be expected. This
will be discussed at the next Board meeting.
Recreation:
M. Lighthipe announced that Studio C will have
its first show for 2015 on Thursday, January 5 at 1
p.m. in Willow Hall.
The first Showtime for the year is a comedy
cabaret and a cheesecake bar on January 24 at 8 p.m.,
the price is $15 per person.
A Super bowl Party will be held on February 1 at
Willow Hall and the cost is $12 per person.
S. Tozzi announced the passing of Normand
Rosenberg and the VFW will hold a tribute to him in
Willow Hall on January 22 at 2 p.m.
Audience comments:
16.
R. Moran was glad to see the weather on channel
M. Ruggerio asked about the proposed bathrooms
at the Encore pump house and if the residents will be
informed about the cost and will the maintenance go
up. She also had some concerns about the security of
the village by offering the sale of transponders.
W. Dylewski asked if there will be advertising
on the donated car. He also mentioned that there
are a number of residents in the village looking for
jobs which is a sign of changing times and for people
working, the night meetings are important.
T. Ferrell asked about the emergency items that are
listed in the Resident Handbook with respect to a call
being placed to the security guard when an emergency
arises at a unit. He also said that he attempted to watch
a trustee meeting on lvwcreeper.com and he was only
able to see the last board meeting posted. He asked
about the status of the request put to the Board by
residents for a Resident Advisory Committee.
J. Langreich, who is the chair of the Administration
Division, said that her division works at the pleasure
of the Board, such as the Resident Handbook and their
Trustee liaison is C. Lupo.
T. Ferrell asked about the tailgating issue that takes
place at the 37 gate and what the status was. He said
he can solve the problem but has no place to go with
his suggestion.
M. Lamberti said she is not in favor of selling
transponders and the more vehicles that enter the
village can take away a certain amount of security. She
also said it would be appreciated if the Board presents
the program they are going to use for the donated car.

Board of Trustees’ Workshop Meeting Minutes of January 7, 2015
Continued from page 6
She also asked about emergency calls to the guard and
how they are handled.
W. Dylewski asked about the Resident Advisory
Committee that was proposed and said it would be
ideas between residents who could submit the ideas
to the Board.
M. Ruggerio said she is not in favor of a Resident
Advisory Committee because she feels it is a small
group that wants their way and they will separate
themselves and not stay connected. She feels that she
can go to the microphone and is listened to.
T. Ferrell said it has become a separation between
the residents and the trustees because the Board is not
operating by transparency.
S. Kaufman announced that the next meetings
are Wednesday, January 28 at 2 p.m. in Willow Hall
for the audited financial statements and at 7 p.m. in
Willow Hall for the Board workshop.
There being nothing further to discuss, the meeting
ended at approximately 2:55 p.m.

Notes from the Editor
February, 2015
by Marge Camposano and Ayme Friggle
New Beginnings
I would like to introduce our new Leisure Village West
News Editor, Ms. Ayme Friggle.
As for myself, it has been so much more than a pleasure
working with the residents, staff and administration of
Leisure Village West. We have a staff of proofreaders and
volunteers who help with the Leisure Village West News
each month who have become dear friends, making it
harder to move to a new position. I will be working at town
hall for the new mayor. It is not a change that I sought, but
was a wonderful offer to work with someone that I have
volunteered with for several years for a local non-profit
charitable organization. I have truly enjoyed nearly nine
years as Editor of the Leisure West News.
I will miss you all! --- Marge
Thank you Marge for the warm welcome! As your
new Editor, I am dedicated to continuing the same level
of professionalism Marge has brought to this publication
for almost a decade. I am also excited to bring my personal
experience and creativity to the future Leisure Village
West News editions. I have over 25 years of experience in
advertising, graphic design, writing, publishing, marketing
and all aspects of the printing industry. I am eager to bring
that experience to your monthly news and make it a more
enjoyable read for all of you! Please keep an eye on this
column to learn more when changes arise. Please note
that submissions should now be sent to our new email
at news@lvwa.net. I encourage you all to try to submit
your materials via email to help make the process more
efficient for everyone. The submission deadline will remain
unchanged as the First of each month.
Many thanks to all of the kindness shown by
all whom have welcomed
me to your village! I look
forward to meeting more
residents and staff members
and working with many of
you.
Sincerely,
Ayme Friggle

Please Excuse Our
Appearance While We Remodel
As I write this, I’m taking a leap of faith that the
Board has already approved the remodeling of the
front two bathrooms in Club Encore by the time you
read this. If so, we should be starting the demolition
by now. The design is similar to the bathrooms we
did in Willow, but with a little Art Deco influence.
You may also know and have been reassured that
the refurbishing work should go much quicker
than our last renovation, as there is practically no
construction needed. If you’ll remember Willow
needed more in the way of accessibility changes,
whereas Encore does not. Another positive factor is
that Club Encore has additional restrooms available,
so we can work on both rooms at the same time,
speeding workflow.
Our original plans included the back two
bathrooms to be remodeled upon the completion
of the front two, but that may be delayed as we get
closer to the spring and our busy season. I’m sure
we’ll work that out as things progress. In any event,
the front two rooms are the primary restrooms
and are more important to the general use of the
building. The back bathrooms, closest to the pool,
have a little more work to be done to beautify and
correct, after a retrofit that was done years ago to
prevent those rooms from freezing up. If you get
a chance to look at it in the coming months, you’ll
notice what I’m referring to. On the outside walls,
you’ll see that the plumbing comes down from the
ceiling and is boxed out to somewhat conceal it.
Unfortunately, that building was designed with
the plumbing running through the attic which has
caused much damage in the past, but seems to have
been alleviated after some retrofits. Once we get in
there, we’ll make that retrofit go away and embed
the plumbing in a proper and concealed wall.
I think you’ll be happy with the renovation
and the new fresher look. We all look forward to
the completion and the chance to make something
special for you.
Handymen vs. Professionals
Hiring handymen to do work around the house
can often save you money on certain projects
without the need for professionals, but beware,
handymen, in most cases, cannot add wiring, outlets
and fixtures. This is true of electrical and plumbing
and other similar trades. The addition of these
items often requires a township permit and must
be installed by a licensed professional. This is true
for single family homes too, but is more important
and necessary with a multi-dwelling home, like we
have here in the Village.
Doing this kind of work without a permit is
unlawful and may have legal and financial risks
associated with it as well. Please be aware of this
when hiring someone to add electrical or plumbing
work in and around your home. The Township has
a useful website with an explanation of the type of
work that can be done without a permit, for which
the link is kind of long, but I made it available on
lvwcreeper.com as well.

Emergency Notification Committee (ENC)
Planning for the Future
By Anne Niebergall
Once again the Emergency Notification Committee
would like to thank all our Revere volunteers who
helped make our October 2014 notification exercise
a success. On January 6 the Emergency Notification
Committee Coordinators met to discuss and offer
feedback on each of their areas. All agreed that
the system in place worked. Everyone also agreed
that we should continue to reinforce our Mission
Statement whereby the Emergency Notification
Committee is activated by the Community Manager to
facilitate communication within the Village should an
emergency arise. During the meeting, all welcomed
Mel Traum who will be the Emergency Notification
Committee liaison with the Board of Trustees. Our
next Coordinators meeting will be on Tuesday, April
7 at 1 p.m. in the A & B room in Willow Hall.
Meantime between the months of January,
February and March volunteers will be meeting to
prepare for our third Revere General Meeting. This
meeting will take place on Thursday, April 16 at 2 p.m.
in the Willow Hall auditorium. Please note this will be
a mandatory meeting for all Reveres and Reveres-AtLarge. More information on this will follow.
Anyone interested in becoming a Revere or
Revere-At-Large can leave their name and phone
number in the ENC mailbox at Willow Hall and one
of our volunteers will contact you. As always we
welcome input from our fellow residents and your
suggestions and ideas can also be submitted to the
ENC mailbox at Willow Hall.

It is a good idea, but we cannot avail ourselves of
some of the home improvement ideas offered since
we don’t “own” the outside of our condos. Vendors
should be screened to make sure they are more varied.

Knights of Columbus
By SK Neil Emmino GK
Thanks to all of our Brother Knights for the wonderful things done this year to make it a grand year for
our council. It can only be with your help and dedicated service to Knights of Columbus Council 9134
that we can go forward to help those less fortunate
than ourselves. Be vigilant in staying true to who and
what we are to our purpose and to our goals.
Stay strong against an ever-changing world, knowing that we will make a difference in bringing back
the foundation for which our forefathers fought so
hard for, many years ago. Many of you have fought in
wars which can only remind us of what we are facing
now. We must set the example for our children and
grandchildren by showing respect for others and using
language that can heal and make things right. You are
Knights of Columbus, the best of gentlemen. Let it be
known that you are a knight and proud of it. Ask others
to join us in our achievements and in our struggles.
Now is the time to achieve a greater purpose in our
lives such as helping the poor and the sick. Get rid of
the “I” and start thinking of those who need us. Wear
your pins, display who you are and be proud of it.
We are the Knights of Columbus a Fraternity of
Brothers!
BE PROUD! Step up and make a difference. It’s
your time to shine! Love you all and proud to know
each and every one of you.
Christmas: A Wonderful Time of Giving
The Drive To Keep Kids Warm This Winter
On December 8 the Knights of Columbus and
guests celebrated Christmas by giving 120 winter
coats to Alex George, head of Kevin's Kids Charity
for less fortunate children of Manchester. Many thanks
go out to Committee Chairman Stephen Cassidy and
Co-Chairman Joe Catroppo who did a wonderful
task of collecting and buying the coats. It was an
awesome experience to be a part of this year’s coat
drive. The response to my appeal for donations to this
wonderful organization was fantastic. Coats and cash
were donated not only by our members in the Knights
of Columbus but also by many of the residents in our
village. Thanks to all who donated. It should be a
wonderful feeling for all those contributors knowing
that 120 more children have great coats for the winter.
I want to thank Mr. George for taking the time
out of his busy schedule to come to our Council and
receive the donations on behalf of all those elementary,
middle school and high school kids. May God bless
you all and I pray that 2015 is just wonderful for
everyone.

The Angels Sing
By Pat Kinane
And sing they did for the Caritas Guild members’
Christmas luncheon. I am referring to the Manchester
High School Choir led by Sara Thiffault. Sara brought
two choirs, the first being a Concert Choir performing “Ding Dong, Merrily on High,” followed by “Be
a Candle of Hope” and ending with a Hebrew piece.
The next choir was the Honors Choir performing “Lift
Thine Eyes,” followed by “Didn’t My Lord Deliver
Daniel” and then joining with the Concert Choir and
Caritas members in singing “Silent Night.” They received a well-deserved standing ovation.
We were now ready to enjoy our lunch, provided
once again by the Blue Fountain. It was hot and delicious. The wait staff was very efficient and courteous.
I would like to thank set up volunteers Barbara Seele,
Lucille Vergano, Jean Mazza, Bernice Kropkowski
and Barbara Sainz, along with any elves I may have
forgotten as well as those who helped to clean up. A
thank you to Sheila Michaud for her usual artistic expertise on the place cards. At the end of the luncheon a
fun game was played to see who would go home with
the large gold pinecone centerpiece.
Attention! There has been a change.Our card party
has been changed to April 30 to afford us extra time
to prepare. We will have two general meetings to sell
tickets and get prizes organized. If you need letters to
submit to area establishments for gifts or gift certificates you can call Rosemarie at 732-657-9340 or me
at 732-323-3666. We just happen to have a few lying
around. The card party will be on April 30 at 1 p.m.
at Willow Hall. Flyers will be put on the tables at both
clubhouses for your convenience.
There is no meeting in February. The next meeting
will require the wearing of green as it is on March 17.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

First Aid Auxiliary
Donations to the Squad
By Marie Weir
We hit a high note prior to our December 10 meeting. Manchester First Aid Squad members, Capt. Joe
Klimakowski and the husband and wife team of Bill
and Sharon Ferraro (Bill is 1st Lt. and Sharon is 2nd
Lt. of the squad) were presented a check for $6,000
from fundraising activities during the past year. This
makes a total of $42,727 given to the squad during
the past seven years after it was reinstated as a club
when it was disbanded in June of 2007. Thank you to
all who have supported us in the fundraising activities
throughout the years.
A donation was presented to the squad by Naomi
Webb representing The Pine Tree Needlers (Quilters)
from profits for the beautiful quilts they sell. Another
donation from the Arts and Crafts Club was presented
to the squad by Fran Arnold, from profits of sales from
the beautiful handmade items. The squad is a volunteer
organization and appreciates all those residents and
clubs for their donations so that they can continue
aiding people in times of emergencies.
President Sue Ippolito asked for a volunteer to take
over running our bus trips to Atlantic City starting in
February or April. Carolyn Thompson will still take
care of our trips to the Sands Casino twice per year;
Spring and Fall. However, we will need someone
to take over our more frequent Atlantic City trips.
Carolyn will work with you as you learn the details.
If interested, call Carolyn at 732-276-2764.
On a musical note, we ended the year with John
DeFalco at the piano. He entertained the audience
with popular tunes, show tunes and holiday tunes,
all without reading music. In some songs he was accompanied by his friend Joe Kappa on the tambourine,
which added an extra touch.
We do not meet in January or February so our first
meeting in 2015 will be on Wednesday, March 11 at
1:30 p.m. in Willow Hall. Please join us.
Pictured from left to right are Sharon Ferraro, Naomi Webb

Helpful Hints
by Sheldon R. Mead
“Green” cleaning products may not be any better
for you or the environment than other cleaners.
Avoid packaged products altogether. Almost all home
cleaning can be done with white vinegar or baking
soda. For example, clean windows with vinegar and
crumpled newspapers, or make a paste of baking soda
to remove counter stains.
Add years to your life – eat fish three times
a week. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish reduce
inflammation, increase joint lubrication, decrease
risk for atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and
arterial clots, improve immunity, improve memory
and other cognitive functions.
In recent studies, it has been found that taking 162
mg of aspirin daily reduces the risk for a heart attack
by about 36 percent and the risk for colon, throat,
and stomach cancers by about 45 percent. Serious
side effects from aspirin are rare. Take one-half of
a regular aspirin or two 81-mg (baby) aspirins daily
(162-mg total), but check with your doctor first. Buy
the cheapest tablets. These usually are unbuffered and
dissolve more quickly in the stomach.
Carpal tunnel syndrome may be inherited. Recent
findings: Repetitive hand use may trigger carpal tunnel
syndrome (CTS) but there is strong evidence for an
inherent genetic risk. (from a paper by David Ring,
MD, presented at Harvard Medical School).
Ocean Ride Transportation
Local travel hint …Ocean Ride
provides free door-to-door non
emergency medical transportation for
seniors – and free transport to out of
county VA medical clinics for veterans.

Recreation
Mary Lighthipe, Director
As winter lingers on, cold gray days are warmed
with the celebration of Valentine’s Day. Sweethearts
exchange flowers and chocolates, timeless expressions
of love. All eyes are fixed on Punxsutawney Phil in
the hope he will not see his shadow, and there will be
an early spring.
The Recreation Department has planned several
activities to ward off the winter blues. Details are
listed below. Please plan to join us!
Our February Sunday dinner will take us to the
Brick House on February 15. Enjoy a short ride, a
delicious dinner and leave the driving to us. Tickets
are on sale at Willow Hall.
Our Friday Social will feature Vocalist/Entertainer
Maggie Worsdale. Maggie has performed in various
venues around the country. She brings to us her latest
new show “The Music of the 1960s.” Come reminisce
with us as we recollect this extraordinary decade on
February 20 at 1:30 p.m. in Club Encore.
Our monthly movie will be shown at Willow
Hall on Saturday, February 21 at 2 p.m. The feature

Downey, Jr. and Robert Duvall. A son has to prove his
worth as a big city lawyer by saving his father from
a murder conviction.
Please plan to join us for our Winter Beach Party
on Saturday, February 28 in Willow Hall. A very
special evening is planned as we welcome the Jersey

winter freeze and slip away to summer. Dress is
totally casual and featured will be a special summer
dessert in addition to snacks, coffee, tea and set-ups.
As always, singles are welcome. Purchase your tickets
early…..the first 100 tickets purchased will receive
the band’s latest CD!
Due to the popularity of our Fish and Chip Dinner we have scheduled this event during the winter
months. Catered by Thistle’s of Kearney, dinner will
include Fish & Chips or Fried Chicken, coleslaw, dessert, ice tea, coffee, tea and set-ups. Take-out orders
will be available. A reservation coupon is included in
this issue. Mark your calendar and plan to join us at
Willow Hall on Friday, March 13, at 4 p.m.

Ping-Pong Club
A Club Where Everyone Knows Your Name
Kudos to the Holiday Social
By Marie Lamberti
A highlight of the Ping Pong Club is the holiday
social which is held in December. At this time we
come together to wish one another Happy Hanukkah
and a Blessed Christmas. Leisure Fair, beautifully
decorated is the perfect room to celebrate the event.
Chairperson for the social was Ann Rauscher, who
is to be complimented for her endeavor to please all.
Ann was assisted by Jan Pattison and Stella Myers.
The tables were adorned with festive centerpieces
designed by Anna Kim. One person at each table
happily took home a centerpiece. Thank you Anna.
Members were asked to bring in finger foods,
such as appetizers, cheese and crackers, cookies, etc.
Many did so, and there were some surprises such as
shrimp and Swedish meatballs. With the generosity
of the members, as always, we had more than ample
food to share. Coffee and tea were provided, as well
as Marie Lamberti’s special holiday punch.
President Howie Topchik welcomed all. He
then said a short program prepared by Marie would
take place. Two poems entitled “Let’s Be Happy”
and “Joyous Hanukkah” were read by Howie. A
Hanukkah song was sung by Lou Fischer. A poem
entitled “Remembering at Christmas” was read by
Peggy Hathaway. A reading entitled “That Night”
read by Marie was followed by “Silent Night” sung
by Norma Mehl. In conclusion, “Twas the Night
before Christmas” was read by John Russo. Members
warmly applauded the readers and singers. After
additional greetings, the members slowly left the room
after having a wonderful time.
Our first Ping Pong Tournament of the year,
“Winter Doubles” will be played this month. Sign up
in the Ping Pong room. See you at the tables.

Fishing Club News
By Jim Larsen
Fluke fishing regulations – the Atlantic States
Marine Fisheries Commission is striving to make
sure you remain thoroughly confused. Their latest
document, Amendment XXXVI, contains the
current background on the fishery and options for its
management. Among the alternatives is a potential
return to conservation equivalency under which New
Jersey managed the stock for 2014. Among the more
interesting options are proposals to make Delaware
Bay a region in itself and a plan to split New Jersey

Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, the dividing line
being somewhere around Little Egg Harbor.
Black Sea Bass – much to our disbelief, according
to the Mid Atlantic Fisheries Association, the problem
is not the lack of, but instead the overabundance of.
Last year when it seemed we were catching less, the
regional figures were up. Massachusetts fishermen
benefited greatly when the Black Sea Bass moved into
the cod fishery in the Gulf of Maine where the number
of cod has fallen significantly. One official said it this
way, “Black Sea Bass fishing was tremendous this
year. It was tough to keep them off the hook when
fluking. I’m wondering where all those bass were
when we went out but I’m also thinking that this might
be the season to go get them fish, so I hope to join all
you guys from the club for a good season.”
In December, my wife and I went on a trip to
Europe where we toured five countries. Fishing
became a subject when we asked about Christmas
dinner. In all countries we visited, Christmas dinner
is served on Christmas Eve and the dish of choice is
Carp, that lowly bony fish, that many of us would
pass up.
It must be fresh, so the father buys the carp live,
putting it in the bathtub for about four days. The
recipe is too long for this article, but if you are really
interested, I posted it on the Fishing Club website.
Check it out and you might think twice about throwing
that carp back next time you hook one.

Though we are in the deep freeze of winter, plans
for the Bocce and Social Club of Leisure Village West
are continually being planned. Membership dues
for 2015 are being collected at each meeting. New
members are always welcome to join and become
active participants in our club. As in the past, our
general meetings are held on the first Monday of each
month at 6:30 p.m. The audience is entertained for
an hour with a variety of performers who sing, play
instruments and attempt their hand at humor. There
are always refreshments at the end of the business
meeting. Everyone is looking forward to the Bocce
season commencing.
Our Installation and Holiday party was held on
December 1 at the Ramada Inn in Toms River. More
than ninety guests enjoyed a full course dinner and
danced to the music of Wild Rose. Holiday decorations
enhanced the ballroom, illuminating the reflection
of the holiday lights. The new officers for 2015
were installed by Marianne Loffredo. They are as
follows: President Bill Bouford; first Vice President
Lou Gelormino; second Vice President Ellen Jenkin;
Secretary Karen McGinley and Treasurer George
Tomas. Bill Bouford thanked everyone for attending
this special event.

Happy New Year, Manchester
By Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer
Best wishes to all residents of Manchester for
a happy, healthy and safe 2015. It’s time for New
Year’s resolutions and plans for the coming year, as
well as for reflecting on the past year.
I had the opportunity to meet many Manchester
residents during the past year and I thank you for
that opportunity. I look forward to working with
Manchester residents to continue to make Manchester
the best it can be. We will have the chance to meet and
talk again at meetings now being scheduled in each of
the communities in Manchester. (A meeting at Leisure
Village West is tentatively planned for March 4.)
We are working on updating our township
website, increasing its functionality and making
it more informative and user-friendly. We will be
investigating grant opportunities and exploring
possibilities to increase smart commercial ratables to
help keep our taxes down.
I will focus efforts on keeping taxes affordable,
safety on our roads, services for our senior citizens and
opportunities for our youngest residents. When we all
work together, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
Be sure to mark your calendar for Manchester’s
150th anniversary celebration on June 27. Plans are
currently underway to make it a day to remember.
I wish all police officers in America a safe
return to their homes and families every day after their
tours. I thank all of our volunteer emergency service
personnel for their willingness to respond to fire and
first aid emergencies, day and night, in all kinds of
weather. I welcome home members of our military and
extend profound gratitude for their service. And I look
forward to working with the residents of Manchester
in the years ahead.
God Bless America.

Poetry & Prose
The Mystery of Love
My mother would ask
“Why does one need sex education?”
Since she had eleven children
without explanation.
With a twinkle in my eyes,
I said, “Thank Heaven,”
Since I was number ten of eleven.
No one ever told me about
the birds and the bees,
But that would soon be no mystery for me.
For life would lead me to different places
Where I would meet people of other races.
When the Army took me into its fold,
What I learned about the
“Mystery of Love” can’t be told.
But a GI roommate was sent my way,
And he made sure I would not go astray.
Seeing the Folies Bergere made me say,
Going to the cinema is not the way.
For Paris you see, with its sensuality,
Had been created for men like me, happily.
When I said to my mother,
“I want to take a wife,”
She quickly said: “Son, it’s your life!”
Then I pondered, “Do fools rush in
where wise men fail to go?”
I quickly said, “It must be so!”
When the pastor asked,
“Do you take this woman as your wife?”
In a heartbeat I said, “Yes, for all my life.”
And I’m sure my mother always knew,
That this would be the path for me to pursue.
I forgot to reserve a room
for our wedding night,
And that was the beginning of my next plight.
When we finally found a place to stay,
I broke the key in the lock, some way.
Our daughter is not a magician,
But a wonderful obstetrician.
She delivers many babies every day,
And she can attest, love is surely here to stay.
You can’t live with them,
You can’t live without them.
One may ask, “Why is it so?”
That is the mystery…
WE WILL NEVER KNOW!
But, I begin to interpret the meaning of the
Mystery of Love,
It had to come from up above.
It’s only when one makes
another number ONE,
The you will hit that HOME RUN.

Think about the following statement for a
moment: “Nobody, not your broker, not your
banker, not your financial planner, not your
lawyer, not your insurance agent, not
your neighbor, not your brother-in-law,
nobody cares more about your money
than you do!” The important word here
is “cares.” When poor financial decisions cost you money, you’re
the one who suffers, not the
others listed above. The goal
of this club is to help you take
charge of your financial future.
Each month we have a professional give a presentation on a variety of financial topics. We also ask them
to join our free flowing discussion of current events in
financial markets, interest rates, oil prices, etc.
On Tuesday, February 17 at 10 a.m. at Encore
auditorium, we will have representatives from Ocean
First Bank Wealth Management. The topic will be
“The Health of Your Wealth” covering three areas
of concern. Protecting your assets from elder abuse,
paying your bills if you become incapacitated and the
orderly transfer of your estate to your spouse and other
family members where there are family issues such
as divorce, second marriage and/or protecting assets
for grandchildren.
Join us the third Tuesday of the month for a wide
variety of financial topics presented by professionals.
Make 2015 the year you take charge of your financial
future. Learn to earn!

fee based, but some are free. Many clubs or societies
welcome guests at their meetings. Television shows
such as “Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates”
and “Who Do You Think You Are?” give clues about
how or where information is available. Of course
they have armies of genealogists working behind the
scenes to make it look easy. Wouldn’t it be nice to just
hop on a plane to go to the source in some foreign
country? But, it’s a hobby you can even do in your
pajamas at 3 a.m.
Anyway, I’m pretty much addicted to this hobby.
I can get very frustrated but get the best feeling of
satisfaction when I make a “find” or find a new living
relative! I even get excited when I make a connection
with people who COULD be relatives. If you think
this might be a hobby for you, come to a meeting.

Book Discussion Club
By Kathy Hubany and Barbara Corrigan
By Lorraine Wirths
A Happy and Healthy 2015 to all. After all the
hustle and bustle of the holidays, our board has been
busy getting the music ready for our Spring Concert.
It is our hope that many of you, in the village, have
made a decision to come and join us. Our first meeting
will be on Friday, February 6 at 9:30 a.m. in Willow
Hall. A light breakfast will be served and the smell
of fresh coffee will fill the room. Our new music for
the Spring Concert will be revealed – a most exciting
time for all the Westernaires. Don’t miss out on this
fun morning.
At this time we ask all of our current members to
return their holiday concert music and to please erase
all the pencil markings.
Fundraising events are in the planning stages
and promise to be a fun time for all who attend. We
ask that you watch the Creeper or go on line to our
website to get all the information. Since these will be
in the winter months of February and March, it will
be a great time to get out and mingle with friends and
neighbors. The Westernaires also appreciate your
support by attending these fundraisers. This also helps
us to continue to perform these Wonderful Concerts.
Come on out and join our group on Friday, February
6 at 9:30 a.m. at Willow Hall and “Sing A Joyful Song
– Sing it Out and Sing It Strong!”
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday,
February 11. We will be discussing “Room” by
Emma Donohue.
Five year old Jack and his Ma live, eat and play
in one room – an 11x11 foot space that is their prison
– captives of the terrifying man Jack calls “Old
Nick” who he only sees from his vantage point in a
wardrobe. His mother was abducted at the age of 19
and has been repeatedly raped, Jack having been born
two years later. Jack’s mother is frequently depressed
and desperate to escape. However, she has protected
Jack from the realities of their situation. Jack’s days
are spent using the things they have and listening to
the songs and stories his Ma remembers and the five
picture books she’s had to read to him over and over.
One of the book’s central ideas is that when you know
no better, you always think that the world you live
in is normal and it will still represent home to you.
When the insular world suddenly expands beyond
the confines of their four walls, the consequences are
shattering and extraordinary.
We will surely have much to discuss about this
sometimes disturbing but imaginative book. As
always, we welcome newcomers.

Wednesday, February 11 at 7 p.m.
in the Club Encore Auditorium.
This meeting is to start planning
for our next big fundraiser, “Paws for Spring.”
Everyone is encouraged to bring lots of enthusiasm
and their creative suggestions to make this years’

If everyone volunteers just 2 or 3 hours of their time
before, during, or after the event, it is sure to run
smoothly.
Jeanne Terciaccanco of Ultimate Dog Training,
stopped by at our January 2015 meeting with some
helpful hints on training your dog and answered
questions. Hope everyone enjoyed the meeting
and learned a little something to help with their dog
training! Maybe a little help for those darn cats too!
Be sure to join us in the Club Encore Auditorium
for a fun-filled exciting meeting. We are continuing
to collect dry cat food and kitty litter for the Pet Food
Pantry in Jackson. A big thank you to all those who
continue to contribute to this good cause. Remember,

Arts & Crafts
by Phyllis Clemente
If you read our Bulletin from cover to cover,
you’ve undoubtedly noticed the column, Welcome
New Neighbors, which acknowledges our new
residents. Those columns have become longer and
longer as the months go by. As such, I’m assuming
we have some ladies who either knit, crochet, or do
some other craft. With that in mind, I’m sending some
old patterns which may very likely interest them and
maybe they’ll consider our Club.
If you like to knit or crochet, or do any type of
crafts, consider joining our group. You do not have
to join the Arts & Crafts Club or come to any of our
meetings. You can do your charity volunteer work in
the comfort of your own home. But, if you enjoy the
company of other crafters, you are cordially invited
to attend our meetings, which are the first and third
Thursdays of the month from 1 – 3 p.m. in Leisure
Fair. The first Thursday of the month is our business
meeting followed by a social hour with refreshments.
The second Thursday is our workshop when we work,
chat and share ideas and patterns.

Straight Horizons
This is the time of year when many of us travel to
warmer places. This gives us the opportunity to shoot
some landscapes and seascapes of the places we visit. It is
very important to make certain you hold your camera level
on this type of shot so the horizon is straight and level.
Having a tilted horizon line is especially important
when shooting sunrises and sunsets. If the horizon is tilted
(even slightly) it will make the image seem unnatural and
give it an unbalanced feel.
It is also important to keep your camera level when
shooting indoors. Horizontal lines, such as a fireplace
mantel, molding, or door frames, that are not level will
make your images less appealing. When photographing,
take your time and make certain your composition is good
and level.
That’s it for this month. As always you can email me
with any questions at bill@KirmsPhotography.com. If
you’d like to see more of my images you can visit my site
at www.KirmsPhotography.com . Remember to keep
shooting and trying to improve your images, but most
importantly, have fun with your camera.

West Village Players
“All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.” Sean O’Casey
By Judith Carelli Stout
The Irish know how to put our lives in prospective,
but the Players Club members are seldom unrehearsed
and are always ready to "put on a show!” The past
year was filled with terrific monthly programs and
great attendance at all of our meetings. Even though
our December meeting was smack dab in the middle
of Hanukkah and two days before Christmas, we
were fortunate to have an outstanding crowd. If you
haven't joined us yet, mark Tuesday, March 24 at 7
p.m. on your calendar and join us at Willow Hall to
celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Wear that green sweater,
shirt, or tie because everyone is Irish at a St. Patrick's
Day celebration!
Congratulations to our newly installed board and
a very heartfelt thank you to Jon Telfer who presided
over the installation ceremony at our December
meeting. We also want to thank the hospitality
committee who did an outstanding job this past year.
Just a hint of what's coming up this spring: you'll
have to warm up your "pipes" to go somewhere over
the rainbow. Hmmm....So snuggle up and stay out of
the cold during January and February. We'll see you
in March. Here's one last blessing from the Irish: "As
you slide down the bannister of life, may the splinters
never point in the wrong direction."

Garden Club
by Kay Jacobsen
December 17 was our Holly Jolly Holiday Party at
Leisure Fair and believe me it was Jolly.
Our President Yvonne Huacuja gave a very heartwarming welcome and spoke about how she was so
impressed by all the wonderful people in the Garden
Club and how we all came together to celebrate this
special season with friendship and love for one another,
not only family but all our friends. That, of course, is
the real meaning of the holidays we celebrate this time
of year.
We then enjoyed the delicious dishes prepared by
our talented members. After having our fill we were
entertained by pianist Tony D’ Amato and Agnes Raimondi singing Christmas and Hanukkah songs and
many old favorites. Penny Bosco passed out sheets
showing the 12 days of Christmas (Garden Club Style),
each day representing a different flower. It was hilarious
pronouncing the correct flower names. Everyone was a
good sport and we did our best and struggled through.
Next on the agenda was our crazy, ugly sweater
contest. Wow, did these gals get into the spirit of things!
Penny Bosco informed us of the annual Flower and
Garden Show held at the New Jersey Convention Center in Edison, NJ, February 12 - 15. Yvonne suggested
if anyone is interested in forming a car pool we could
possibly get together and go up to Edison to enjoy the
show. Flyers are available for a trip to the Philadelphia
Ugly Sweater Contest Winners: Roseanne Walters, Barbara
Lazaro and Joanne Sheehan.
Flower Show on March 2. We will join The Crestwood
Village Garden Club and the cost is $59. Notify Joan
Reed our Treasurer if interested and she will contact
Stefanie Rotsaert of their garden club. No meetings in
February. The next meeting is Tuesday, March 24. We
are looking forward to many interesting and special
treats in 2015. We wish you a Healthy and Happy New
Year and a caring and peaceful 2015.
Yvonne Huacuja and Joyce Patire at the Holly Jolly Holiday
Party.
The gang’s all here!

A what? Wolfdog farm! Right in
nearby in Jackson!
By Peggy Hathaway
A wolfdog animal shelter called Howling Woods
Farm is located in Jackson. What sets the farm apart
from most other humane wolfdog organizations is
their adoption service. Owner Mike Hodanish was
bothered knowing that shelters rarely allow adoptions
of wolfdogs into homes, often preferring euthanasia.
Howling Woods Farm, located on 10 acres, is an
animal shelter that rescues and places domestic bred
wolves, wolfdog hybrids and northern breeds.
Hodanish adds an educational element for the
public. He and his volunteers are happy to answer
questions and dispel misconceptions about these
animals. You can often see staffers at public events.
The farm is not generally open to the public. However
they will open their facility by appointment. The
Internet lists what public events HWF will be
attending. This is usually the best way to meet the
wolfdogs.
Of course, for most of us at LVW, the easiest
way for us to learn about wolfdogs is to attend LVWs
Nature Club’s Monday, February 23 meeting in
Willow Hall starting at 7 p.m. At least one of the
wolfdogs will be at that meeting. All residents are
welcome to attend.

The Irish American Club
by Lee Parker
February is here and we have our weather
prediction from whichever groundhog you happen
to believe. Much like the Irish, they don't always
seem to agree about everything. One thing we are
in agreement about is that it is getting closer and
closer to our annual St. Patrick's Day bash. This
year, here in Leisure Village West, we will be having
our celebration on Thursday, March 19 at 1 p.m. at
Willow Hall. Our usual monthly general meeting is
on the third Thursday of the month and so that is the
day we will be celebrating.
Those village residents who have attended our
Patty's Day celebrations in the past can attest to the
good time that was had by all. Once again we will
be having musical entertainment by Dee Best who
has proven that she knows the complete American
songbook as well as the complete Irish songbook.
Our traditional Irish dinner menu is still being
finalized but you can be sure that corned beef and
cabbage will be front and center and that nobody
will go home hungry. Information regarding ticket
purchases can be obtained from any of the club officers
or specifically from Walter Gately at 732-657-2822 or
Lee Parker at 732-323-0109. This is historically a sell
out event so get your tickets early.
At our February 19 general meeting we will be
welcoming back Kathleen Maloney. Kathy writes for
The Asbury Park Press and also for the Irish Echo
regarding matters and affairs which deal with our
shared Irish heritage. It is her ability to co-mingle that
knowledge of our shared heritage with our American
heritage which makes her such a welcomed guest.
Please keep in mind our new starting time for our
general meetings. All general meetings will begin at
1 p.m. in Willow Hall.
Also, last but not least, let us all remember to bring
an item for our donation to the Food Bank at St. John's
Church. These donations are given anonymously to
persons in need. Non-perishable items large or small
are all welcome and appreciated.
