The complete removal was done, that is, 13 miles of roadway were plowed, 1,626 aprons, approximately 1,400 driveways were done in twentyfour (24) hours. All fire hydrants were shoveled out. Don’t know how much salt was spread on the streets but it was more than a few tons. Unfortunately, we have had far too many storms this season and we are going to experience a problem with getting salt because other towns need salt for their snow removal and the supply is dwindling all over Manchester. Kudos to Down to Earth and also to our men who braved snow and brutual freezing weather in order to get the job finished. Cold freezing temperatures caused a burst pipe in the kitchen in the PAC. Water and steam spewed all over the floor and made some damage. Jack and his crew were on the scene soon after the pipe broke and within a few hours everything was back to normal. It was still necessary to assess the damage that was done. In the interest of safety the Dance committee canceled the dance. The problem with the heat in the PAC has finally been located. The water diverter was sticking in the ceiling and not allowing the water to flow freely. It has been taken care of and it should be more pleasant in the room. That is it for now. It’s starting to snow again.

My name is Russell Prinzi and I am your new Community Manager. With a strong commitment to servicing the community, I believe each homeowner will begin to see and feel a positive shift in the attitude of our staff, vendors and contractors who service our community. I truly believe that we are here to help make The Knoll the best it can be and assist the residents in any way we can. I want to thank everyone who helped organize the “Meet & Greet” held on February 3, 2015 in the Lakeside Lodge and also thanks to all those that stopped by to say hello. It was a wonderful greeting and a great way to introduce myself to the community. As I stated then, my door will always be open for you to discuss any community issue you may feel the need to discuss and I will be as visible as possible during my workday at clubhouse events, pool activities, and club and committee meetings when necessary. Along with our maintenance manager, Jack, I will begin routine inspections of common areas to identify areas of concern or areas that can be improved. I will spend time with our Board of Trustees and financial professionals to target areas of our budget for possible savings and sound long term financial planning. The transition from one manager to another can sometimes be difficult but I am confident my management team will rise to the occasion and make this a smooth transition. Once I fully understand the various issues and projects currently being discussed I will begin to incorporate that information into my monthly report. On a personal note, I bring with me 20+ years of management experience and a love and commitment for what I do. I thank you for the opportunity to become part of your community and look forward to working with and getting to know all of you. Russell Prinzi Community Manager Leisure knoll Association March 2015 - The Knoll News 5 SNOW REMOVAL GUIDELINES Our snow removal contract with Down To Earth (DTE) requires them to plow the roads in our community. When the snow stops falling, and the roads are completed, DTE starts to clear driveways of those on service and the aprons of all homes. Our own maintenance staff is responsible for the clearing of snow from all of our paths and parking lots that serve our clubhouses and office buildings. In addition, they are responsible for the plowing and maintenance of both the front and back gate entrances and the application of salt to them, when necessary. Our staff applies the salt to the roads or a portion of the roads with the Association’s salt spreader and salt, when necessary, after all of the snow removal has been completed. There are times when the roads are icy and salt is applied, even if there is no snow. Salt is applied to roads only – not driveways. Salting the driveways and service walks is a homeowners’ responsibility. Our staff also applies appropriate materials to the clubhouses’ sidewalks. Plowing usually begins when three inches of snow has accumulated on the roads, depending on the forecasted weather and temperature. The Community Manager and Maintenance Manager make the determination with Down to Earth (DTE). Removal of snow from the driveways and service walks of those on Optional Lawn and Snow Service does not begin until the streets have cleared and the snow has stopped, depending on the weather forecast and conditions. If the snow has melted down on the driveways to less than three inches, the snow may not be removed from these surfaces, especially if this occurs in the daytime, as there may be virtually little or no snow to remove from most driveways. The order in which driveways are cleared is as follows. The Community is divided into four sections. Each section gets its own crew. The homes on these streets are done in the order shown on the Snow Removal Schedule included in this Knoll News, ensuring that each time the snow falls, each section and street is treated fairly. The Schedule picks up where the last snow fall left off the prior year. In subsequent snows, if any, the “Number 1” becomes the last one done and everyone moves up one spot. Special priority for driveway clearing is given to certain “critical care” residents, limited to persons requiring access to a scheduled form of life-sustaining treatments, such as dialysis and chemotherapy. Proof of this must be given to the office before the start of the snow season and a list is maintained of these persons’ driveways, which are cleared first by a special crew. Fortunately, the list of critical care residents is not long. Priority is not given to those residents who need to go to work or who have appointments. It would be very inefficient to have so much heavy equipment going around randomly throughout every street doing just one or two driveways on each street and then come back hours later 6 The Knoll News - March 2015 to do the rest of the street’s driveways. It is estimated that it would close to double the time it takes to do the whole community and, therefore, would be not only unfair to the other residents, but also very expensive. If there is an emergency and you must call an ambulance or police and are not plowed out yet, call/ dial 911. Then, call the front gate immediately so that, if possible, a crew can be dispatched to assist the emergency responders with entering and exiting your home. The driveways are cleared using two steps: First, a tractor with a back blade backs into the driveway in stages (depending on the depth of the snow) to draw the snow away from the driveway and out onto the road. Then, a small machine called a Bobcat clears the street snow down by the curb. One or more pieces of heavier equipment then disposes of the snow as close by the driveway as possible, usually on the lawns. Second, a crew of DTE’s shovelers has the job of clearing a path from your door to the driveway following the cement path (not to your car door). They also clear in front of the garage about two (2) feet in width, so that the plow does not have to come up close to the garage door. If there is a car in the driveway, they clear two feet from the back of the car for the same reason. They will not clear near the garage door, nor will they clear on the sides of the car to avoid damage. In order to keep the machines operating at top efficiency, these shovelers follow the machines so as not to slow down the machines’ progress. In order to know when you are going to be plowed, first, refer to the Snow Schedule with the four Section street list in this, and subsequent, issues of the Knoll News. Call the office during office hours and stay in touch by calling the Snow Hotline after hours (732-657-6661) or check Channel 12. We will try our best to keep this information up to date on the progress of the snow removal. If you have a two-car garage, your full driveway will be cleared, up to the width of the double garage doors, presuming you do not have a car or cars in your driveway. If you do, they will only clear to two feet from the back of the car or cars, and to the garage door if there is only one car. If you have a single car garage but a double driveway, before the season starts, DTE will indicate where the edge of the double driveway is by placing markers (stakes) on each side down by the street. This will help the machine operator to see the edges and do the best job that he can. If you driveway is not staked by mid-November, they may have missed your driveway. Let the office know and they will inform DTE. It should take about twenty-four (24) hours per foot of snow, from the time the snow stops, to clear every driveway, depending upon the temperature. If less than a foot, it will take less time. If you decide to remove the snow from your driveway yourself, please wait until the snow stops, because, as long as it is still snowing, the plows are required to clear the roads and will place snow at the entrance to your driveway. They will still come with machines and complete the removal once the snow stops. Doing it yourself does not entitle anyone to deduct that cost from their Association fee. Under no circumstances should you offer or accept an offer from Down to Earth employees to “do your driveway”, since they are forbidden to do so until their job is completely done. If you have a complaint about how the snow was removed or realize that your driveway or apron was skipped, the sooner you let us know, the sooner we can get DTE out to handle the issue. There are two ways: leave a message on the Snow Hotline or call during office hours. You should also write a letter if you call to report property damage. It is repaired by Down to Earth as quickly as possible following snow clearing and as weather permits. The Board of Trustees and the staff are always looking to improve service to our residents and many of the suggestions which we have received in prior years have been implemented, when possible. We will keep you updated in each issue of the Knoll News, so please be sure to read each issue.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Association shall publish and give notice of the foregoing definition to all homeowners; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that nothing in this Resolution shall prevent the Board from exercising any and all rights and remedies available to it by law, in equity and/or pursuant to the governing documents, to enforce any reasonable rule(s) relating to pet control or to impose fines for violation of the Association’s rules.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO: March 2 Elaine Bogo 4 Anne Powers 6 Dorothy Murphy 13 Genevieve Flynn 21 Jim Rooney 27 Marge Moonan 27 Marian Potter I first met O’Reilly when I was in St Peter’s Hospital, Chertsey, England. He was in the same ward as me and was lying, quite still, in the bed next to me when I awoke early on that Friday morning. I was taken aback because he was swathed in bandages from head to toe, with just two little slits for his eyes and this made it difficult to engage him in conversation. However, later that same day, his best friend, Dermot Callaghan, came in to visit O’Reilly and I listened in on their conversation, which went as follows: “What happened to you?” asked Callaghan. “I staggered out of The Invincible Pub, on Shepperton Road, and a lorry hit me a glancing blow and knocked me through the Co-op’s plate glass window,” mumbled O’Reilly. “Begorrah,” exclaimed Callaghan in his broad Munster accent, “it’s a good thing you were wearing all those bandages or you’d have been cut to ribbons!” IRISH BLESSING May the love and protection St. Patrick can give Be yours in abundance As long as you live Judy Munster Pat’s Lawns & Landscaping 848-448-1310 Bushes and Hedges Trimmed Let us update your landscaping…decorative stone, mulch, bushes and trees planted Garden Block Walls Installed Stone and Brick Borders NJ Home Thatching, Slicing and Seeding Improvement Contractor’s Spring and Fall Cleanups License # 13VH06164300 Call Today for a Free Estimate!!! 18 The Knoll News - March 2015 spc-705 Book Discussion Leisure Knoll Book Discussion will be meeting on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 1:30 PM in the Lakeside Lodge. All the residents of Leisure Knoll are welcome to join us and participate in our discussion. March, the third month on the Gregorian Calendar is made up of thirty-one days in the Anglo-Norman tradition from the Latin Martins (mensis) (month of Mars). March was the time in ancient Rome when the soldiers returned. March 15th in William Shakespeare’s play, “Julius Caesar” citied when Caesar was told “Beware the ides of March.” The “Ides of March” is identified as March 15th, the death of Caesar. The Scotch poet and writer, Robert Louis Stevenson was born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He enjoyed writing both poetry and stories. His poem, entitled, “Winter Time” described his impressions of winter: “Late lies the wintry sun a-bed, A frosty fiery sleepy head; Blinks but an hour or two; and then, A blood and red orange, sets and again, Before the stars have left the skies At morning in the dark I rise; And, shivering in my nakedness, By the cold candle, bath and dress. Close by the jolly fire I sit To warm my frozen bones a bit; Or, with a reindeer sled, explore The colder countries round the door: When to go out, my nurse doth wrap Me in my comforter and cap: The cold wind burns my face, and blows Its frosty pepper up my nose. Black are my steps on silver sod; Thick blows my frosty breath a broad; And tree and house, and hill and lake; Are frosted like a wedding cake.” Our fiction book to be discussed this month is entitles, Calling Invisible Women, written by Jeanne Ray. A woman, named Clones is aware that she is no longer missed by her family except when dinner is not on the table on time. She notes that she is invisibe for her family. She learns that other women are also invisible. She leads the way for these women and herself to be recognized. Jeanne Ray in her writing of Calling Invisible Women draws attention to these women as they grow older and to their changes. This book sounds interesting for readers.

March 2015 - The Knoll News 25 L.V.W There’s A New Show Coming to Town The Footlighters lost two long standing members of our Club this year. As a tribute to Bud Fisher and Millie Galenti , The FOOTLIGHTERS are preparing a special performance this coming Spring. The show is called AN EVENING WITH JOHNNY MERCER: A Journey Down Memory Lane. Two evenings, June 6th and 7th, will feature dance, live and lipsync performances, and unique video performances. We encourage the audience to dance and sing-along. Johnny Mercer wrote over 1500 songs with 18 songs nominated for the Academy Award. His songs were used in over 385 movies and he has had 13 Top Ten Hits as a singer ( four #1 hits.) At one point in time, he had at least one song in the Top Ten for 221 weeks. During 2 weeks in 1942, he had four songs in the Top Ten. For twenty years Johnny Mercer dominated the popular song charts. During that era, he had at least half of his songs on the HIT PARADE. In some years, he had a song in the Top Ten every week of the year, (the song writers equivalent of Joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak.) Not only did Johnny Mercer enjoy a career as a lyricist PAUL DICKSON PLUMBING, L.L.C. N.J.

MANCHESTER CHIROPRACTIC spc-205g spc-595 Outlook by Dr. Shari Dloss 732-657-BACK 732-657-2225 CHIROPRACTIC IS MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN USED EARLY ON As with many forms of health care, chiropractic treatment is most effective when it is applied during the early stages of a condition, particularly for acute lower-back pain. Spinal manipulation is most helpful for a lower back problem when it is done within the first month, according to the U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy Research guidelines. In fact, if you don’t see positive results after eight to 12 visits, chiropractic care may not be the right approach for your condition. In that case, your chiropractor should be able to refer you to another health professional. The benefit of early chiropractic treatment extends of course, to any area of your body that needs it. The body has more than 200 bones and connecting parts like muscle, tendons and ligaments. Most of these bones are capable of movement and come together at joints. Each bone has a position it’s supposed to occupy and a well-defined range of motion. When any of these moving parts get out of alignment, through trauma or overuse, for instance, they can cause pain and other problems. The sooner you bring them to the attention of a chiropractor, the sooner your problem will be under control. L spc-595 Helping Hands Kitchen Health andRefacing Fitness Clubor New Kitchen?

The Famous Italian Adventurer Marco Polo was born in Venice in the year 1254. He was given a splendid education in his formative years by his aunt and uncle following the death of his mother and the absence of his father. His father Niccolo and Uncle Maffeo were traveling businessmen and did not return to Venice to meet their son and nephew until Marco was about 17 years old. The threesome then set off on a 24 year adventure through Asia. There they united with Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler. They traveled nearly 15,000 miles collecting riches and treasures. Upon returning to home port of Venice in 1295, they found that they were at war with the Republic of Genoa. They were captured and Polo spent some months in prison. During his time in captivity, he dictated his detailed account of his travels to a fellow inmate. The book soon spread through Europe in manuscript form and became known as The Travels of Marco Polo. It depicts the Polo’s journeys through Asia, giving Europeans their first comprehensive look into the inner workings of the Far East, including China, India and Japan.

We handed out baby bottles after each Mass and they were to be returned with donations enclosed. We will be retrieving the bottles during the entire Month of February for those who might have trouble remembering to bring them along to Mass. There will be cartons marked Knights of Columbus at each exit, so just drop them in the carton and a member of our Council will gladly pick them up after each Mass. Please make an effort to return each bottle with or without a donation because we are responsible for replacing any bottle that is not returned. All our future board meetings have been re-scheduled to take place on the last Thursday of the month at The Lakeside Lodge at 7:00 PM. This should give us the opportunity to get out any information concerning Council activities in The Knoll News before they actually take place. I am not sure everyone is aware that we have a new Editor & Chief for The Carillon. Let us welcome Phil Roura who is an actual retired journalist and a recent welcomed addition to The Knoll. Jules Kazimir, after many years of dedicated service, decided it was time to step down. So Phil gladly volunteered his expertise and took over without missing a beat. The latest on The Lou Mattera Seminarian Fund is that we are progressing and the outlook is that we should reach our annual goal. On March 28th we will be having The Seminarian Dinner Dance at The PAC to award the scholarships to the Seminarians. The food will be catered by Carlo Lubrano and afterwards there will be an evening of music for your dancing pleasure.

We are looking for volunteers to help out and in need of suggestions for sites where we can shake the can for donations. So if you can volunteer an hour or two and have some ideas where we might be able to collect, please forward them to The Council at the next general meeting. We are looking for an April or May weekend to get this done. If you had browsed through last month’s Carillon you would have noticed a section dedicated to refreshing our memories on regulations that we all should be adhering to as Practical Catholics. Many of these precepts were taught to us in Catechism as children. I would like to make everyone aware that our AC Bus Trips will be rescheduled as needed to avoid conflicts with other Clubs AC Trips! Our Bus Trip for March has been cancelled. We held it in February instead. Please check the many avenues of communication that are available in the Knoll if you plan on making a day trip to AC via a bus from the Knoll. Please note - On April 25th we will once again be sponsoring an Applebee’s Pancake Breakfast. So mark your calendars accordingly. Hope to see you all there.

Our congratulations to Frank Vituli who was honored as Knight of the Month for February. Please let us all keep Frank in our daily prayers because his health has been failing him.

You guys looked great and everyone was proud of being a part of it.

We will have a special ceremony this year and it will be a little different from previous years. We intend to have the color guard from the Lakehurst Naval Station and I would like to see our own color guard carry the flags of all the military branches. We have the flags and flag straps, however, we need the men to carry the flags. It seems that we are not getting the volunteers that the board and I expected. We need participation and help from our members to make this happen. Don’t be shy, help us help you. Memorial Day is a day we should ban together as veterans and pay tribute to our brothers and sisters. Next is the Saturday, the 4th of July. The Board and I are planning a parade that will start at the Knoll Circle and end up at the main gate. Flags will be flying and music playing and people will be cheering us on. We are going to ask other clubs to participate with us, as this will be a community event. However, again, we cannot do this alone. We need your help. Always remember we are doing this for our club and the community. This community hasn’t had a parade in about 20 years. I think if the Veterans Club spearheads the parade people will be proud of us and the community. So please come out to help. Also, please come out and attend our meetings on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Wear your colors and be proud of our club.

I promise you that if you go to any of our occasions, you will be taken up by our spirit and will come back for more. We understand you have other commitments but just try to attend 2 occasions year and that will help us continue to succeed.

MANGIA! March has arrived heralding the beginning of Spring. It has five red letter days: March 8th – Daylight Savings Time; March 17th – St. Patrick’s Day; March 19th – St. Joseph’s Day; March 20th – Spring begins; March 29th – Palm Sunday. The next week is Easter Sunday. The season of Lent (40 days of fasting) began on February 18th, Ash Wednesday, and continues through the month of March and ends on Easter Sunday April 5th. Here are a few recipes to help you during these meatless days: WHITING SOUP: INGREDIENTS: 2 lbs. whiting 4 tbs. evoo 4 cloves minced garlic 4 plum tomatoes cut in pieces Fresh parsley DIRECTIONS: In a pot put together 3 quarts of water, evoo, garlic, tomatoes and parsley, bring to a boil and let boil for about 15 minutes. Add the whiting and cook for about another 10 minutes. Cook some pasta (any kind you prefer) but cut spaghetti is best and when done add the pasta to the soup and serve. STEWED COD: INGREDIENTS: 2 Tbs. evoo 1 diced onion 2 diced celery stalks 2 cups coarsely chopped tomatoes, fresh or canned 1 Tbs. capers in brine, drained and minced 1 bay leaf 2 Tbs. chopped parsley leaves 2 lbs. fresh cod cut into 1 inch chunks Fine sea salt to taste DIRECTIONS: Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat; stir in the onion and celery and cook until soft; stir in the tomatoes, capers, bay leaf and parsley and simmer covered for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cod, cover and simmer for about 8 minutes until the fish easily flakes and looks opaque. Season with salt. PS: this stew can also do double duty as a sauce for spaghetti. CIAMBOTTA (Vegetable Stew) INGREDENTS: ½ Cup evoo Dice the following: 1 large onion, 1 medium fennel bulb; 1-1/2 lbs. red skin potatoes; 1 lb. eggplant (peeled); 1 lb. zucchini. 5 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and pureed Salt and Pepper to taste 48 The Knoll News - March 2015 1 large yellow bell pepper cut into thin strip ½ cup chopped fresh basil DIRECTIONS: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft; add the fennel until it is soft. Add the tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, ½ cup water, salt and pepper and stir well. Cover and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes. Add the pepper strips and cook for about 10 minutes more until the vegetables are tender but not mushy. Stir in the basil. PS: This can also be used as a sauce for pasta or can be combined with rice. I’m not sure but I think we can have corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th which gives us a break from fish and veggies. Then there is St. Joseph’s Day, March 19th when Zeppole di San Giuseppe are on the menu. Then comes Palm Sunday, March 29th and after fashioning the palms (received at the end of Mass) into crosses plain and fancy we start planning the Easter feast. Lamb is traditional among many Italian families, but of course there are many other variety of meats to choose from. Also on Palm Sunday families color eggs, traditional for this particular holiday. So, after the Easter meal there are the desserts. Talk about varieties! Here is probably the most traditional dessert TORTA PSQUALINA (Easter Pie or Pizza Rustica) INGREDIENTS: 2 lbs. ricotta 8 eggs ½ lb. EACH provolone and mozzarella, diced ½ lb. prosciutto cut into thin strips ½ lb. dried Italian sausage (hot or sweet) cubed ½ lb. Genoa salami cubed ½ cup Parmigiano cheese grated Handful fresh Italian parsley Black pepper to taste ***Use your favorite pie crust recipe DIRECTIONS: Mix eggs and ricotta together, add the Parmigiano. Then add the other cheeses and meats. Put mixture aside. Form the dough to fit the sides of a greased 9 inch square pan (sides included), reserving some dough for the covering. Fill the pan with the mixture and top the pie with strips of dough to form a lattice design. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes There are several variations of this particular pie and they are all delicious. Enjoy! Wishing you all a HAPPY EASTER, BUONA PASQUA and of course, BUON APPETITO! Rosary Di Blasi INCOME INCOME Residents’ Articles This month we will welcome Springtime, probably most folks’ favorite season. We can pat ourselves on the back for “surviving” the cold and snow of 2015. But come on, we’re used to it and it’s really not so bad, after all. We still got together with family and friends, to share a good meal and a good laugh. We have lovely warm homes and nice neighbors, too. A positive outlook makes all the difference.

Though a swashbuckling romance created familiar lines, his work inspired events as The Riff uprising in French Morocco, the accomplishments of Lawrence of Arabia and the sizzling Rudolph Valentino films The Sheik and The Son of The Skeik. During the out of town tryout, when the show was called Lady Fair, Vivienne Segal was rushed in to replace another actress in the lead female role. The Desert Song had an unsuccessful New York revival in 1973. Film versions were released in 1929, 1943, and 1953. A LOOK BACK Minnie Mouse made her first appearance alongside beau Mickey, in 1928’s silent short Plane Crazy. At that time, they didn’t sport their iconic white gloves or even shoes. In 1940, nylon stocking made their debut in New York. Demand was so high nearly 800,000 pairs were sold the first day. Motown Singer Mary Wells topped the billboards HOT 100 with “My Guy” in 1964. After nine seasons, Seinfield aired its series finale in 1998. More than 76 million households tuned in to watch the episode which the TV Guide Network ranked as one of the top most unforgettable finales of all time. The hit comedy Bridesmaids starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy premiered in 2011. Next up for Wiig was returning to her role as the voice of Miss Hattie in Despicable Me 2.

It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction. The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9 Every Sudoku games begins with a number of squares already filled in, and the difficulty of each game is largely a function of how many squares are filled in. The more squares that are known, the easier it is to figure out which numbers go in the open squares. As you fill in squares correctly, options for the remaining squares are narrowed and it becomes easier to fill them in. answers on page 57 March 2015 - The Knoll News 55 Clubs of Leisure Knoll Activities Committee Director: Aida Losey @ 408-0752 American Irish Club Bingo Bocce Columbiettes Computer Club Cookie Jar Fishing Club Footlighters Garden/Nature Club Golf / Ladies Golf / Mens Harmonics Health 'n Fitness Helping Hands Italian American Club Knights of Columbus Music Tours Organ Club Pet Club Singles Social Club Softball; Owls Veterans Club Mary Schwiering Manny Caridad Millie Canonico Cathy Varsalona John Lacki Ren Salveggio Andy Corso Mary Morris Pappy Surgent Peg Smith Bert Maier Ruth Wittich Jo Caruso Dorothy Murphy Mike Petrillo John Bilotta Barbara Fair Edward Bohrer Linda Campisi Brenda Eyles Aida Losey John Glover Mike Magliocco 323-9657 657-6288 657-2787 657-7642 408-7366 657-5401 408-1527 408-0673 657-2406 657-2831 323-1739 657-0142 657-3399 657-1296 408-0271 831-5099 657-0280 657-0582 657-9449 408-1308 408-0752 657-6321 408-7701 bronxgirl359@yahoo.com mannycaridad@aol.com millie10585@yahoo.com No email jlackijr@yahoo.com No email amcorso20@aol.com f55kmorris@aol.com pappyisgramof5@aol.com No email e026303bert@verizon.net ruthwit@verizon.net carusojojo413@gmail.com murphy3537@verizon.net elpres88@aol.com KofC10022@gmail.com barbarafair38@gmail.om loised43@hotwiremail.net thepetcluboflk@aol.com Beyles71@verizon.net alosey@verizon.net No email mijan101@optonline.net Activities of Leisure Knoll Tom Gill Art Appreciation Art Class Bible Study Billards Book Discussion Group Book Discussion Group Bowling / Friday Bowling / Monday Camera Club Canasta Gloria Izzi Jean Sulla Paul Jacob Mitzi Langsam Pat williams Mickey Fink Kathy Simons Joe Layton Marge Puccio 657-9773 657-5518 408-0872 323-0631 323-1760 408-0150 323-0868 323-8202 408-0090 657-7389 gillwash2@verizon.net No email No email midwatch1964@yahoo.com No email tscba81@gmail.com No email kathysimons14@gmail.com JJL1978@verizon.net m.pooch@verizon.net Cards / Duplicate Bridge Ceramics Display Case Exercise Class Exercise Room Fit'n Trim Italian Language Class Helen Findon Doris Edgar Dot Butler Detta McCarthy Assn.

Many animals are not as active in the cold months, and many birds leave the area and go south. There are other birds that migrate here from the northern reaches to escape the ultra harsh winters there. This gives us the opportunity to photograph different species. Unfortunately they are not as colorful in the winter plumage, but it’s still a nice challenge to find them. I especially like to find the different ducks and shore birds that arrive in winter. They are generally found in the inlets and around the jetties. Some are quite difficult to reach, but others can be found along roadways and parking lots near rivers. A long lens is very helpful. Make certain to focus carefully and have the proper exposure. Fast shutter speeds will help keep them sharp if they are moving in the waves. It is not an easy shoot, but can yield great results. That’s it for this month. As always you can email me with any photographic 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.
