The WINDWATCHER
Letter from the President - Larry Kelter
Happy Holidays, Hamletonians!
Gonna keep it short and sweet this months because, like the rest of you, there’s plenty of shopping and
cooking to take care of. So whether the season is filled with dreidels or candy canes, I hope you have a
Very Merry and a Happy and Healthy.
Well I guess the return of Verizon is our holiday present. They went back to it on November 1st and seem
to be making solid progress. Several of you have asked for information on Verizon pricing and programs.
It’s a little premature for that. Rest assured, you’ll all be notified when the time comes.
No new news on the Holiday Towers Project this month, and there probably won’t be until just before
they break ground in the spring. I’ve been asked if the complex is for low-‐income housing. The answer
to that question is no, absolutely not. As always and as promised, we’ll keep you posted.
Well here’s news. Mark Merlo is no longer with ClubCorp. I liked working with him and will miss him.
I’ve been talking to Cathy Harbin in his absence, who advises that they’re actively looking for a replacement and will allow me to interview the final candidates once they’ve whittled the list down to the best
two or three. Keep your fingers crossed.
I wish you all health and happiness for the holidays and a Happy New Year!

Book Club by Sandy Lubin
I am always asked how I read so much. I am always told “You must read very fast”. The truth is that I am a novel junkie. I am
addicted to reading. It doesn’t matter what form it takes; hardcover, paperback or my beloved Kindle.
This addiction can be traced back to when I was seven and I began reading Pippi Longstocking, Ramona, The Bobbsey
Twins and my favorite, Nancy Drew. At ten, my mom handed me Agatha Christie mysteries and I was hooked.
I am not the fastest reader. If the story compels me, I immerse myself into it and forget about the world around me. I use
reading as my Zanex. Reading a book is like what watching TV is to most. I rarely read hours at a time, I find 30 minutes
here and there in between laundry or cooking dinner, while waiting for a friend to pick me up, or waiting in a Dr.’s office.
Early in the morning, while having my morning coffee, later in the day when I am in need of a nap or late at night when I
need to read what happened next to the main character. I am addicted.
As most of us, I have my favorite authors and watch when their new books will be released. I have grown old with some of
my favorites like Mary Higgins Clark. I have grieved at the loss of my all time favorite Robert Ludlum. But, I keep finding
happiness and relaxation with new favorites like Daniel Silva.
My family has always seen me with a book. It is just part of me. Now, it seems that my granddaughter might be following
in my footsteps. I buy her more books than toys. She loves anyone to read to her. She is on the brink of beginning to read
herself and I am hoping that she will continue to find the passion in reading.

Knitting
I am an advanced knitter. I have been knitting most of my life. I would like to start an afternoon
knitting group once a month.
Unfortunately, most small knitting stores have closed and it is harder to get personal instruction.
I get most of my patterns online. I can give others help in using the internet to find knitting
patterns, getting instructions online and reading a pattern. Even with my experience, I have
trouble changing the sizes in a pattern. There is always something we can learn from each
other and at the same time relax together with our needles.
Please let me know if you are interested at [email protected].

Dapper Dan owns a massage spa in an affluent area wherein he services men and women needing massage therapy.
Dapper keeps the spa cold to save money and because the services he supplies are often times warming.
Jovial Jane arrives for an appointment and advises Dapper that its cold in the salon and she feels she can get sick. Dapper
suggests the spas special heat massage to warm her up and Jovial goes for it. The hot rocks are placed on Jovial’s spine. Now
she complains that the room is too cold and the therapy too hot.
Jovial has issues. After leaving the spa she sues Dapper and his spa for her catching a cold; the rocks leaving red marks
on her back; and because she was forced to listen to music she despised. Seems everyone thinks that by suing you will
automatically make a quick buck.
As I’ve written in the past the only road to recovery is if someone did something wrong. For example if Dan's rocks were so
hot as to cause permanent burns or scars.
Jovial’s cold could have come from the new resident gathering where the house was freezing except for the hot food and
gracious hosts, who did a fantastic job. (it wasn’t really cold but, I make things up)
No one knows where Jovial caught cold so Dapper is not liable. Dapper and his massage spa are not at fault for Jovial’s cold
as she was not forced to stay. The red marks on her back must be expected when hot rocks are used in a therapeutic massage.
Those marks are temporary and Dapper is not liable for his hot rocks in that case either. The bad music sounds like a throw
in to build up the claim. Sorry no place in this article for specious claims.
No liability; No damages; No case!!
Jovial had to go back on her meds. Her claims had no merit and Dapper’s facility continues to provide relief and pleasure
to all who enter.
To top it all off the salon is free from negligence and as such "all's well that ends well".

Chanukah History
The festival commemorates events that took place in Judea more
than 2,000 years ago, when the Syrian king Antiochus ordered the
Jews to abandon the Torah and publicly worship the Greek gods. According to the Talmud, there was only enough consecrated
oil to re-light the candelabra for one day, yet, miraculously, it
remained lit for eight days. The central feature of the observance
of Chanukah is the nightly lighting of the Chanukah, an eightbranched candelabra with a place for a ninth candle, the
shammes, used to light the others. One candle is lit on the first night of Chanukah, and an additional
candle is lit on each successive night, until, on the eighth night,
the Chanukah is fully illuminated.
The eight-day Jewish festival begins the evening of

This act provoked a rebellion led by Judas Maccabeus, climaxed
by the retaking of the Temple in Jerusalem, which had been
desecrated by the Syrians. In an eight-day celebration, the
Maccabees (as the rebels came to be known) cleansed and
rededicated the Temple (Chanukah means "dedication"). ain

On October 25th, many families were delighted to give
out goodies to the trick-or-treaters. In a community like
ours where there are not usually many children trick-ortreating, it was refreshing to see so many kids and parents
and grandparents in costumes. Families from Veteran’s Way
joined in the fun.
The holiday party was on November 21st. I will report on
that next month.
The Thanksgiving food drive came up a little short of last
year, but we collected 1075 pounds of food nonetheless.
Thank you to everyone who donated. Due to the generosity
of our community, we are helping those in need have special
Thanksgiving dinners. As in the past, Joy Ellentuck is to
thank for making signs and orchestrating the collection.
Kudos to Eileen Cohen, Anna D’Angio, Lynn Goodman,
David Ellentuck, Joe Moshe, Sharon Kushner, Annette
Regan, and Sylvia Cooper for their hard work accumulating
and dropping off the donations.
The Halloween party was a blast! Traci Klein and Kevin
Charley lent us their fantastic decorations…literally from
heads to feet, to hands, and skeletons. Jenny Avgeris made up
the place cards, and Traci, Annette Regan, and I decorated the
room enhancing the mood of the holiday. Thank you Traci
for painting teeth, making goodie bags, and running around
to get prizes for the best costumes. We couldn’t have done it
without you. Many of the costumes were funny, ingenious, or
downright outrageous. The food was unbelievable too. Chef
Anthony outdid himself this time. Thank you Miguel, Erin,
Kim, John, waiters, waitresses, bartenders, and all involved.
What can I say about the Newcomer Meet-and-Greet at the
Regans house? –Or should I ask, “What can’t I say about it?”
Annette should be in the catering business. She went above
and beyond by making most of the individual appetizers and
desserts from scratch. Her presentation was key. It was so
nice to meet many of the newcomers. Newcomer Committee,
Social Committee, and HOA board members mingled with

Boxing Day Traditional English holiday extends Christmas giving
Licensed & Insured… 23 YEARS EXPERIENCE
others who have helped them.
Boxing Day is December 26, the day after Christmas,
and is celebrated in Great Britain and in most areas settled
by the English (the U.S. is the major exception), including
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Despite its name, Boxing Day, which is celebrated
on December 26 in Great Britain, has nothing to do with
pugilistic competition. Nor is it a day for people to return
unwanted Christmas presents. While the exact origins of
the holiday are obscure, it is likely that Boxing Day began in
England during the Middle Ages.
Some historians say the holiday developed because
servants were required to work on Christmas Day, but took
the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit
their families, their employers would present them with gift
boxes.
Another theory is that the boxes placed in churches
where parishioners deposited coins for the poor were opened
and the contents distributed on December 26, which is also
the Feast of St. Stephen.
As time went by, Boxing Day gift giving expanded
to include those who had rendered a service during the
previous year. This tradition survives today as people give
presents to tradesmen, mail carriers, doormen, porters, and

Dear Gas Fireplace Owner….
Manufacturers recommend

1. Health & Safety
Take your dog to the vet for appropriate up to date vaccinations and a health check. Vaccination records, health certificates
and proof of rabies vaccination are required by certain airlines. Bring along a supply of his/her regular food, bottled water,
medications, a sturdy leash and collar and an identification tag including your name, the dog's name, your address and
phone number and a picture of your dog. Many people have a microchip placed subcutaneously in their dog for permanent
identification purposes; bring the number of the microchip with you.
2. Car Travel
Putting your dog in a crate is an excellent way to keep your pet safe in a
car. You can avoid your dog's carsickness by having it travel on an empty
stomach and keeping the car well-ventilated. If your dog is traveling outside
of the crate, don't allow his/her head to stick out of an open window, since
this may lead to eye injury.
3. Airline Travel
Each airline has its own rules for pet travel. If your dog or cat is medium to
large size, the pet and its crate will travel in a lower, pressurized cabin. The
crate should be marked "Live Animal", arrows upright, with the owner's
name, address and phone number on the crate.
The in-cabin rules often include an extra fee, a specific number of animals
allowed per flight, and size regulations dictated by the airlines for the pet
carrier. The pet carrier must be small enough to be placed under the seat in
front of the passenger.
4. Train, Bus, Boat, Cruise
Dogs are not permitted on Amtrak trains, Greyhound buses and other interstate train and companies. Local venues have
their own policies.
Most cruise lines do not permit dogs. It is interesting to note that Cunard's QE2 ship provides special lodging and free meals
for your dog!
5. Hotels
There are many hotel chains that permit dogs and other pets. These hotels often have size or breed restrictions, and require
a non-refundable cleaning fee. Some hotels include: La Quinta Inns and Suites, Marriott Hotels and Resorts and Home
Suites by Hilton.
Please note that if you own a service animal or a therapy animal, it's a good idea to call ahead to your airline and hotel for
special instructions.
For more information, visit AKC.org.
There are many kennels, neighbors and friends who will care for your dog while you travel. Sometimes, you might want/
need to take your dog along with you while you travel.
Here are some suggestions for your consideration:

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
&Lanza,
Futterman
In 1931, the first tree was put up unofficially as something of a Depressionera fairy tale
The first "official" tree went up in 1933
A publicist organized the first tree-lighting ceremony. A 50ft pine decorated with
700 lights stood in front of the RCA Building, then eight months old.
The tree lighting ceremony was first televised in 1951
It made its debut on The Kate Smith Show hosted by the “first lady of radio” before
moving to the iconic children’s program Howdy Doody. Now broadcast on NBC,
the ceremony has featured the likes of Bob Hope, Barbara Walters, Liza Minnelli,
Sheryl Crow, Bette Midler, Billy Crystal, and Mariah Carey.
The current tree-topping star boasts 25,000 Swarovski crystals with one million
facets It also has 720 LED bulbs, 44 circuit boards, and 3,000ft of wire, and it
weighs 550lbs. Rockefeller Center won’t disclose its cost, but, it’s pricey (estimated
value is 1.5 million). Unveiled in 2004, it’s the largest of a series of stars to have
topped the tree.
THE BRISTAL ASSISTED LIVING
W H E R E E V E RY D AY M E A N S M O R E ®
After 86 years, here’s what
I know for sure…
Life’s best moments
come unexpected.
I’ve always tried to live in the moment. And when you get
to be my age, you realize many of life’s best moments are
shared with friends. That’s what we do every day here at
The Bristal... me and my buddies Bill and Steve. Whether
we’re shooting pool or just shooting the breeze, taking
a class or working out, attending a Men’s Club meeting,
playing poker or simply trading tall tales. We take great
joy in the lives we’ve lived…and in all we’ve yet to do.
“PRESERVING AND PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY’S ASSETS”
A group of workers responsible for the early construction phases of Rockefeller
Center raised the tree to celebrate the fact that, unlike most of America, they
actually had a way to pay the bills. They decorated the 20ft balsam fir with
cranberries, paper garlands, and a few tin cans. A clerk distributed their paychecks
from the foot of the tree later that night.

New Year’s Eve - is one of the favorite celebration days for many
people. Parties aside, the impending New Year typically brings
hope for a more prosperous and happy 365 days. There are also
some fun facts and trivia associated with the celebration.

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,

New Year’s Eve
•
•
•
•
•
•
The first New Year was celebrated 4,000 years by the ancient
Babylonians.
It’s tradition to ring in New Year’s with family and friends because
the first people you see will either give you good luck or bad luck. So
make sure to keep friends close and foes very far away
More vehicles are stolen on New Year’s Day than any other holiday,
according to statistics from the National Insurance Crime Bureau
revealed.
The top three places to celebrate New Year’s Eve are Las Vegas,
Disney World and of course, New York City. Internationally, one of
the biggest celebrations is in Sydney, Australia. More than 80,000
fireworks are set off from Sydney Harbor Bridge.
Time Square New Year's Eve Ball was first dropped in 1907 after
there was a fireworks ban. Back then, a 700-pound ball embellished
with 25-watt bulbs made of iron and wood was dropped. Now,
however, it weighs 11,875 pounds, is 12 feet in diameter and is
adorned with 2,668 Waterford crystals.
The tradition has continued in Times Square, except for in 1942 and
1943. The ball was not lowered because of wartime restrictions.
In Italy, people wear red underwear on New Year’s Day to bring good
luck all year long.
In Colombia, Cuba and Puerto Rico, some families stuff a large doll,
which is called Mr. Old Year, with memories from the past year. They
also dress him in clothes from the outgoing year. At midnight, he is
set ablaze, thus burning away the bad memories.
It’s good luck to eat foods like black eyed peas, ham and cabbage
because it is thought they bring prosperity. But if you want to have
a happy new year, don’t eat lobster or chicken. Lobsters can move
backward and chickens can scratch in reverse, so it is thought these
foods could bring a reversal of fortune.
The traditional New Year’s song, “Auld Lang Syne,” means, “times gone
by.”
The top 10 resolutions are usually to lose weight, eat more healthily,
exercise more, stop smoking, stick to a budget, save money, get more
organized, be more patient, find a better job and to just be a better
person over all.
Using a baby to signify the New Year began in ancient Greece around
600 B.C.
