MeSSage
By Harry Ivory
I am humbled and appreciate the Board of Trustee
(BOT) vote of confidence for voting me as president of
the 2011 Board of Trustees. It is an honor and a pleasure to serve the residents of Holiday Village.
Let me introduce you to the BOT members:
Betty Hoffman, vice president – Betty brings a wealth
of knowledge and experience. Betty is presently president of the Condominium Association and has been
president since 2007. She has served on our BOT for
four years and last year she was secretary. Betty has
lived in Holiday Village for more than 27 years. She
was here before the court homes and single family
homes were built.
Marie Campbell, secretary – likewise she brings a
wealth of knowledge and experience. Last year she
was vice president and has served on the BOT for
approximately four years. Marie has lived in Holiday
Village for 10 years.
Gene Kutner, Treasurer – Gene has lived in Holiday
Village for over 25 years and has served on the BOT for
at least 15 years and has served as president. Gene
has served as treasurer for the past three years. Gene
graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s,
Wharton School with a degree in accounting and finance.
Carol Carmany – is a past president and has served on
the BOT for seven years. Carol has lived in Holiday
Village for 18 years. Carol was the president of the
BOT in 2010. She opened dialogues with Holiday
Village East, the Township mayor and manager, and
reinstituted the current telephone notification system.
Bob Orr – has been on the BOT for nine years and is a
former treasurer. Bob also served as a liaison to the
Finance Committee for five years. He has lived in
Holiday Village for 11 years.
Howard Riggs – our newest member on the BOT.
Howard has served as chairman for the Fitness Center
and co-chairman to the Common Grounds Committee.
He is what you would call the “new kid on the block.”
He brings with him new ideas for the community to consider and investigate. Howard is still working and he
has considerable experience in business responsibilities. Welcome aboard Howard!
As you can see, your BOT has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is looking forward to the new
challenges that 2011 will present. There are no challenges too great to resolve when individuals of experience sit down and discuss the problems openly and
come to a solution. The BOT is looking forward to continuing the efforts of previous BOT’s to continue the
high standards of Holiday Village.
Moving into the future requires that community to be
involved and support the leaders in the BOT, and volunteer to work on various committees. Efforts to keep
up our high standards require a team effort between the
BOT, committees and residents, to make up a strong
team.
I have been walking around our community and the
things I see that the residents are doing with their landscaping is outstanding. The color variations are a
beauty to behold. The pinks, the whites, reds, violets
etc. are breathtaking. It seems that the foliage is in continuous bloom. If you have not walked or driven around
our community to see this, you are surely missing some
beautiful sights. I love these walks, for I see residents
are happy to live here. The money and time spent
doing what people want to do reflects the outstanding
caliber of residents living in Holiday Village. My wife
and I have lived here for 24 years and I have not seen
a better place to reside.
Appreciation: Our heartfelt thanks to the election
committee chairperson, Ann Torre, and her delightful
committee of dedicated people for the great job they did
during this very important BOT election.
Our swimming pool has been resurfaced for your
convenience and enjoyment. The pool will be open on
the May 28-30, June 4-5, June 11-12 weekends and
daily June 13 thru September 11.
Remember, the pool water is heated allowing us to
extend the pool season. Be safe and obey all pool rules
that are listed as you enter the pool area. Remember,
you will need to have a Holiday Village pool pass,
obtainable from the management office in the
Clubhouse.

Condo Corner
By Betty Hoffman
A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King
~ Emily Dickinson
Your Holiday Village Board of Trustees is facing another
busy season. Some projects we are currently working
on for the continued beautification of our property
include:
Power-washing: Three bids were obtained for this
project. Blast to the Past came in with the lowest bid at
a cost of $5,950. This project began the first week in
May. This year we budgeted to have all 16 CONDO
buildings power-washed within three weeks. In the
past, we have always split the project into two phases
over the course of two years. Any concerns should be
called into MAMCO's customer service dept at (856)
273-8483. A final inspection will be performed by
MAMCO and the board prior to final payment.
Chimney Cap Replacements: MAMCO will be replacing all CONDO caps with aluminum capping material.
The cost of this project is estimated at $28,000, which
will be funded from reserves. This should be the last
significant reserve item other than roofs which we are
currently budgeting.
Landscaping: The board voted to renew the landscaping and snow removal contract with J&S for another 3
years. We have also approved various landscaping
beautification projects throughout the community which
include but are not limited to tree and bush removal and
replacements. Landscaping inspections are performed
periodically by the board and management. We try to
accommodate as many residents as possible; however
we do have a budget to stay within. Any irrigation problems should be reported to MAMCO's customer service
department at (856) 273-8483.
Snow: Thought you might be curious as to how the
snow removal affected the Holiday Village
Condominium Association budget... Total expense for
2010 was in excess of $42,000. 2011 year to date has
already reached $49,000. At this time, we feel the
budget will balance by the end of the year. There has
been no discussion regarding any type of a special
assessment for condo owners at this time.
dents and our community, plus they can bite really
hard – just ask Marty!
Parking: There are no assigned CONDO parking
spaces within the community. Parking spaces may be
used on a first come basis. This applies to handicap
spaces as well. We try to allow enough spaces for owners with handicap stickers, however these are not
assigned. We do request owners with more than one
car used less frequently to park in a space away from
the building to allow additional spaces for other residents or visitors. Some areas have much more parking
than others. Unfortunately, this is the way the community was built. We can not mandate where visitors park
on a temporary basis. We must all be courteous to our
neighbors.
Homeowner Link Elite: Maybe you are unclear on this
program??? If you register with management for this
program, you will receive broadcast messages which
are received by all residents at one time; these messages can include community information, such as
meeting reminders and community events. If you would
like to sign up please contact management at (856)2738483. This is not to be confused with the phone link
through HVCSA.
Spring inspections have begun. Management performs
periodic inspections throughout the community.
Violation notices will be issued for excess lawn decorations (no more than 3). Patio furniture can not block
walkways in the event of an emergency. Empty planters
should be out of sight or filled with a blooming arrangement.
Did you know????
As a member of the Condominium Association, you are
also a member of the Holiday Village Community
Services Association (HVCSA). As members of both
associations, you are entitled to voting rights, all amenities and community participation. Association dues to
HVCSA are included in your Condo assessments.
HVCSA rates can affect our HVCA budget annually.
Final Thought...
As Memorial Day passes, our thoughts and prayers
remain with our military troops and their families.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

the geese. This creates a health hazard to both resi–5–

Hopefully the weather will
improve and we will all feel better when the sun shines again on
a daily basis and the rain goes away. Quite a few
Villagers have been sick and are still feeling bad.
We hope they are better soon. We wish them
well!
Because of the illnesses, participation has really
dropped. I was able to lower the cost because
the bus company had offered a special for several months. The cost is now back to the original
price, and we have less people going. Maybe if
we all try to get a friend, neighbor. or family
member to join us, we will be able to reduce the
cost and also continue these monthly casino
trips. New residents, please feel welcome to join
us for an outing and good camaraderie!
If we continue losing people we cannot cover
expenses. Everyone has always seemed to
enjoy these trips, and we all look forward to
them. Also, I asked everyone to please have the
full amount paid for about one (1) week prior or
earlier if possible. This is not happening, which is
making it more difficult for me to really plan for
how many are going. In the 26 years that I have
been doing this, no one has ever lost money
they paid on our trips.
It’s really hard to believe that summer is actually here and
soon the new Social Committee will have been in existence
for one year. As you can recall, we announced the formation
of our group with the first event, the Halloween party in 2010.
Just to let you all know, we as a group have evolved as
time has gone on, and you’ve seen this with the Halloween,
Holliday, Daylight Savings party and now our Luau. We’ve
tried to keep things fresh and new to all of our residents and
guests who have attended our functions.
In order to keep this up as we approach our one year
anniversary, and make our events as enjoyable as possible,
we are asking you, the residents, to help us out. This column
is being devoted to your feedback.
We would like to know your thoughts and Ideas on past
and future social events. What did you like or dislike in past
events? What would you like to see in the future?
Please keep in mind that we are residents just like you.
We formed the group because we like people and would like
to socialize and meet more people in our community. Most
important is to have an evening of fun where we don’t have
to go very far to do it.
In order to keep this group alive, please contact myself or
Irene O’Brien with any comments, thoughts, or suggestions
that you may have for future events.
Signup for our Luau pool party is June 1 at the clubhouse.
The hours are 6 to 7 p.m. Checks only, please. The price is
$14 for residents, $16 for guests.
**************************
Other groups ask you to get a replacement, or
you lose your money. We have never operated
that way, so you don’t ever have to worry when
you pay early. You will never lose the money you
paid as long as I am chair of this Trip Committee!
So please pay early to help this situation. I have
to call people days before the trip because they
signed up, had not paid, and still planned on
going, in most cases. Things happen, people get
sick; believe me we all understand this, but there
is no reason not to pay in advance.
Please think about this and try to help us with
this problem. I would really appreciate your
cooperation. Also remember to call me 234-3945
10 a.m. to 10 p.m., for reservations, info, or
questions. Thank you, be well and enjoy the
summer!

a thank YoU
to al BovE
By Harry G. Ivory
Al has lived in Holiday Village
since 1990 and has served on the
Board of Trustees (BOT) since 1992.
Al was also a past president of the
BOT.
The BOT lost a considerable
amount of experience and dedication
when Al was not re-elected to the
board. Al has dedicated his time and
efforts to improving the Holiday
Village community. There is very little about Holiday Village that AL is
not aware of or knows how to repair.
We enjoy many amenities in our village like the lakes, tennis courts,
swimming pool, bocce court, putting
green etc. We enjoy these amenities
with little or no knowledge of what it
takes to maintain them in. Take for
instance the eight lakes – who knows
or understands the need or operation
of the ware boxes; they are the concrete boxes in each lake whose primary purpose is to protect our Village
from flooding due to the Pennsauken
Creek that flows through our
Community. These boxes control the
water level in the lakes, if the water
gets too high it may overflow. The
ware boxes drain the excess water
into the Pennsauken Creek, thereby
avoiding flooding.
The lake banks and how they are
maintained to keep our properties
from sliding into the lakes is something that Al continually monitors to
protect and keep our properties safe.
–7–
There are 31 islands around our
community. They are maintained
and look great. However, they provide another service to our community – with heavy snow falls where is
most of the snow piled? You are
right, on the islands. Al has all this
type of information at his fingertips.
The BOT will miss his presence and
expertise, and I am sure we will be
coming to him for advice.
Al has a ready smile and is always
ready to render assistance when
asked. His temperament is even,
and he loves Holiday Village and
wants the best for all residents. The
BOT wishes him well and is hopeful
that Al will share his knowledge with
us when we need it.

a Request from the aRB
The putting green located behind the tennis courts, has
been refurbished and is in excellent condition. All residents are welcome to use and enjoy the green.
Due to the lack of rain last summer and the harsh winter that followed, many of the shrubs and trees in our
community have suffered. The ARB is asking all residents to inspect their property, and please remove all
dead landscaping.
They are also requesting that homeowners remove the
lower tree limbs that overhang the sidewalk or create a
hazard for the men cutting our grass. Help us to keep
Holiday Village beautiful. The Architectural Review
Board thanks you for your cooperation.
Deadlines:
The deadline for news items for the
July 2011 Holiday Villager Update is June 8th.

chat With volUntEERs
By Peggie Stark
In our efforts to recognize each volunteer in Holiday Village by name
with a short Bio, we want you to meet
a major arm in keeping our homes
valuable: the Architectural Review
Board best known as “The ARB.”
Chairperson, Marva Wallace said,
“Our first goal is that we want to see
that all resident’s houses stay within
the guidelines set for adult communities. We try to do so in a neighborly
and as kind a way as possible. This is
done primarily to keep resale value
high for our homes. Residents should
be aware that an application must be
made for any changes they want to
make to the outside buildings or
grounds.” [The guidelines mentioned
are available at the clubhouse for
your perusal.]
Alphabetically, the Board members
are: Phyllis Bickley; Catherine Ivory;
Marion Jemison; Fran Kutner; Jack
Lingo; Allan Mandelbaum; Virginia
Morrow and Marva Wallace.
Phyllis Bickley and her husband
Carroll moved here in 2001. She went
on ARB four or five years ago. She
had been active at the First Baptist
Church in Mt. Holly; she cut back
because of his health issues. Carroll
is a retired Baptist minister and is now
home from rehab following surgery.
Phyllis said, “I consider it a privilege to
serve on the ARB and feel that, if possible, we all have a responsibility to
help in the community.”
Catherine Ivory and her husband,
Harry, moved here in October ’87.
She has been on the ARB about 10
years. Catherine volunteered twice a
week at Larchmont School for 17
years and has been on the Social
Committee here through the years.
She is spouse to someone who has
been dedicated to his job and a volunteer in the community, such as on
HVCSA Board for 18 years [twice as
president]. Of course, being Harry’s
wife, automatically makes Catherine
deserving of commendation.
Moorestown and Maple Shade High
Schools or Burlington County Vo
Tech.
Marion Jemison and John moved
here in ’97 and she went on ARB in
’99. She had worked on our
Neighborhood Watch and Social
Committee while participating in
Ceramics and Line Dancing. At Virtua
Hospital in Marlton, Marion enjoyed
being a volunteer at least five years.
Originally; she made the deliveries, to
patients rooms, later worked in the
business office. Due to hip surgeries
for her and John those activities have
stopped. Prior to their move, she for
26 years was employed at Edmund
Scientific Co. as a supervisor in
accounting. Marion said, “My Honey
and I will be married 60 years in
November, most of our lives.” [Happy,
Healthier Anniversary!]
Virginia Morrow moved here in ’93
and has been on ARB about 14
years. Joining the same time as
Marva, they co-chaired for two years.
She volunteers on committees at
First United Methodist Church in
Collingswood and the Bible Study
group; the Methodist Home in
Collingswood, and the Salvation
Army. A broken ankle in February has
curtailed much of her activity. Virginia
is looking forward to getting on with
her life following rehab.
Jack Lingo and his wife, Gail, moved
here in ’88; he worked as an engineer
manufacturing and installing flag
poles and TV antennae. “I am the junior member of this committee almost
a year” and is still working part time.
Jack was in Kiwanis many years and
is now active on several church committees. In the Air Force, he was a Jet
Pilot and he’s a member of the
National
Architectural
Metal
Manufacturers Assn. Jack and Gail
love to travel and, at one time, had a
plane and a boat. He said it is a fine
committee, and Marva is a great
leader.
Allan Mandelbaum and Myrna
moved here in ’86, he has been on
ARB seven years. He was on
Neighborhood Watch three years
prior to disbandment but continues
his awareness for the neighborhood.
He is a graduate of Drexel with an
electrical engineering degree. Prior to
this move, Allan was a technical sales
engineer; in the Air Force, retiring as
a staff sgt. and is a Korean War vet.
Allan is in the Masonic Order and
working as a substitute teacher at

Marva Wallace moved to Holiday
Village in ’94; initially she was “Library
Lady” and watered Clubhouse plants.
In ’97, she joined ARB. Marva and
Virginia co-chaired for two years, and
Marva has been chair for the past 10.
She was Pool chair for several years
until 2010 and is now on the
Clubhouse Décor committee. Marva
also volunteers at the Collingswood
First Methodist Church on several
Committees: Education; Decorating;
Staff Parish Relations and Bible
Study. She is treasurer of her Sunday
school class and active in the
Collingswood Manor Auxiliary and the
Saints Prison Ministry of Moorestown.
Also she is an usher at the Walnut
Street Theatre in Philly at each new
performance.
We are most thankful to this dedicated
group of residents for volunteering
their time, knowledge, and efforts in
this worthy task. No community can
remain as nice as ours without people
to see that all maintain their property
according to the guidelines. We are
very fortunate to have them. The two
words, “Thank You,” do not seem
much, so we add God Bless each of
you for your volunteerism!

common gRoUnds committEE
By Elise Magri
Our new residents may be asking who the common
grounds committee is and what purpose does it serve?
To answer this question, we are a group of resident volunteers with a common goal, i.e. striving to keep
Holiday Village a desirable place to live.
The Common Grounds Committee is responsible for
overseeing the maintenance of the common grounds at
the gateway to the community, along with its open
spaces (which distinguishes our community from many
others) along with the lakes, islands and common
grounds property backing up to the houses.
By presenting an esthetically pleasing community,
we help to protect your valuable investment in real
estate by attracting people who are interested in the
many features that we have to offer.
Periodically, we’ll be sharing a little bit of history as
to how Holiday Village came to look as it does today.
This information has been passed on to us by those
who helped to develop our community and who have
been here from the start in the mid 1980’s, providing us
with a wealth of knowledge, and who, in assisting us
with our questions, prove to be valuable resources as
well as valuable assets to the community. Names not
included here to protect the humble!
We will be sharing some of the specific projects that
we are involved in that keep our community looking
ship-shape and esthetically pleasing. We have many
beautiful lakes and open spaces throughout our community and, as with anything, these areas must be
maintained. It’s up to us to see that all projects entailing
the upkeep and maintenance of these areas are done
within a specific budget.
This year, there are plans to remove some bushes
from the islands and dead trees where necessary. We
will also see to it that there will be a general cleanup of
weeds around the lakes, along with fence
repair/replacement.
Occasionally and although not permitted, we have
folks coming in from outside areas who may not be as
careful as our residents are of these areas. The fences
are there to keep the geese from flying into the lakes
but can they cannot withstand the pressure from body
weight. Just a reminder, residents are permitted to fish
from our specifically appointed lakes but we do ask that
residents make certain that they are in attendance with
their guests.
Our committee is made up of folks who are from all
walks of life and we are fortunate in having two members on our committee who belong to the Mt. Laurel
Garden Club and the Moorestown Garden Club. They
bring much knowledge and hands on experience, with
both clubs participating in many local community projects, as well as the Philadelphia Flower Show. Their
clubs provide several outlets and educational programs
for those interested in gardening.
They select the seasonal plantings at our entrances,
as well as at the Clubhouse. This year, our project will
include planting begonias, a versatile plant with showy
leaves, dusty miller, which grows well in most any soil
and is deer resistant, as well as ageratum, grown for its
flowers and used in beds and as a border and grows
well in any soil from early summer to first frost.
As a group, we are responsible for working in overseeing and working with our landscaping contractors to
ensure that our lawns are professionally manicured with
mowers adjusted to the correct blade height for each
season. We also are responsible and work together to
ensure that our snow is properly removed. We will be
sharing information concerning the identity and roles of
our individual members as we go along. Each individual
brings forward the knowledge and support that keeps
our committee functioning in an efficient fashion.
We make ourselves available to our community to
handle any problems that are encountered by the
homeowner. The long and short of it is, we care and we
take pride in our community and want to help to keep it
looking good.
As an aside to all this, do you know what the most
popular American pastime is today? Also can you identify the hottest area in new home construction? If you
guessed gardening and landscaping, you got both
answers right. It’s a fact. More people will invest time
and money in their front yards, as they are the first thing
that attracts and welcomes people into their homes.
As we go along, we hope to share some helpful seasonal gardening tips, such as tips on lawn maintenance
as well as ideas for seasonal plantings and issues that
you may encounter with your lawn or shrubs.
Just a reminder: all plantings must be within the border of your property line and not infringing on the property of others or common grounds. If you’re unsure of
this area, just contact our helpful community manager,
Linda Schlindwein, who is a great resource for information and who can answer many questions about Holiday
Village.
We’ll start out with one of the simplest tips with summer coming and that is not to water just before dark.
The high humidity in the air, and then the coolness of
night, may bring problems caused by fungus growth.
We’ll be going into this more, along with additional topics in our future articles. Until then,
Happy Gardening!

A LITTLE OFF CENTER
Typing this, as we sing, “Though April
snow showers may come your way.
They bring the flowers that bloom in
May.” [Hope by the date of this column
we’re out of our “Snuggies”…. I’m not!]
What do you think it means when you start to awaken,
thinking of spelling “labyrinth”? It happened to this old
gal one morning at 6:30. What does one do when this
happens? Naturally this one goes to write it down [I
probably wouldn’t remember it later]. Then I had to
check the dictionary, the definition “a maze” [I knew
that] and yes, it was spelled correctly. Well, can’t leave
it at that; of course have to click onto the computer
because by now I’ve also remembered something to
add to the column I was working on prior to bedtime.
Can I shut this down and go back to bed, are you delusional? This happening has to be put into “A Little Off
Center”. Oh, great here I am in my PJ’s, with no robe
or slippers on, getting cold and it is 7:30. Do I stay up?
No way – [Will I delete this when I return to it tomorrow? - No, I didn’t.]
Had a call from a new lady resident, expressing her
dislike of the listing of deaths of residents in this column. She said, “Being in my early 60’s it is depressing
to read.” My response was that we have done this to
avoid folks being upset if they meet a resident and ask
“how is…” and hear “Oh he/she died”. I also said, “That
after a loss, many feel that their loved one is ‘In a better place’, and want them to be remembered and to
celebrate their life.” In addition, it helps our residents
keep their Directory up to date. After hearing my explanation, she said, “I will have to stop reading your column.” Initially, I thought I would have a poll of residents; but I have decided this has been our satisfactory policy for years and will continue – as is! We will be
glad to list birth dates of anyone who wants to tell their
age and have it published. [Please see the article on
the 103 year old Scottish lady!]
[The sentence below, I had typed prior to the call mentioned above and I’m leaving it as is.] This is the paragraph we are reluctant to type although we feel it is
By Peggie Stark
important that you be informed of any resident who
has passed away as follows: Philip Barbera, Jim
Delany and Thelma Stone. Our sincere sympathy to
Thelma’s husband, John, [Jim’s wife Mary died several years ago]. We will miss visiting our dear friend,
Elva Love, who lived in a Facility until recently as well
as another original owner, Joe Gabriel. We offer our
sincere condolences to families, neighbors and friends
of each of the deceased.
A special note: Sylvia Axler has moved to the Westin
we wish this great gal the best of health!
Do you have watery and/or itchy eyes? [I do.] I read an
article, in which several different doctors interviewed
by Colleen Oakley suggested the following: “1. Add
lime to your drinking water, lime contains more natural
antihistamines that can help relieve allergy symptoms.
2. Dab a small amount of petroleum jelly just inside the
opening of your nostrils, can help catch pollen. 3. Eat
more salmon; the omega-3 fatty acids in fish and fish
oil have anti-inflammatory properties that may help
reduce itchiness and swelling. 4. Increase your magnesium intake, research has found that this mineral
relaxes airways, which helps ease congestion.” [I have
been trying all of these.] Hope it works!
Sorry to inform you that Ventura’s is now closed;
changes happen quickly in business as well as the
economy. Nicky DeMatteo will be entertaining on
Wednesday evenings again at “Links Golf Club” in
Kings Grant. This is a very spacious restaurant/bar 5
miles off of Route 73. They are making special
changes to accommodate Nicky and his following, as
well as their regular customers. Looking forward to
more fun times and his talent! Need directions, call me
– 914-9068.
We pray there will be enjoyable days and nights facing
each of us, with good to better health for all! Maxine
says: “Watermelon, a fruit you can spit. Can life get

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to
change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

thE king’s English
By Don Rosser
I haven’t written a Book Report
since I sat in Miss Kinsler’s English
class at Brooklyn Technical H.S., but I
have to tell you about THE HAPPY
PIGS. The big thing is that Louisa,
the main character, has a guilty secret
. I will not reveal it; perhaps you can figure it out.
Author Lucy Harkness is a Londoner, and the novel
is written in The King’s English. The Book Report can
wait while I explain some of the things you must know to
understand this strange tongue.
An automobile is a motorcar that sits on tyres, runs
on petrol, and parks at the kerb. Its hood is the bonnet
and its trunk is the boot. Above the dash, there’s a looking glass. Trucks are lorries. The steering wheel is on
the right. A circus is a traffic circle, also called a roundabout. On bicycles, training wheels are stabilizers.
Sneakers are trainers. Wrenches are spanners.
Bars are pubs. To get beer, you order a pint or a half.
Men go to the Gents, and women use the loo. If both
sexes use it, it’s the lavatory. A cuppa means tea. A
wash-up cleans the dishes. Mutts are mongrels and
cats are tabbies. Cat food comes in tins. Human food,
too.
England has apartment houses but not apartments;
housing units are flats. You enter at ground level and
must climb stairs to reach the first floor. Higher levels
are storeys. Elevation is by the lift. A parlor is a drawing room. Rail cars are carriages. A lineup is a queue.
Subways are the underground.
Mothers don’t have diapers or baby carriages, just nappies and prams. Residents have no trash but lots of rubbish. A teenage girl is a bird. Her panties are knickers .
A jumper is a sweater.
Policemen are constables, coppers, or bobbies. Bad
people go to gaol. There’s no Sing Sing, but there is
Old Bailey. Suicidal ledge walkers are waverers. Public
Order is the Queen’s Peace. If you leave a lit cigarette
on paper, it’s the fire brigade that comes. Your workplace is your patch.
Spelling sometimes follows different rules. Words ending with ize in America conclude with ise in England
(realise, recognise). Words ending in or in America use
our in England ( colour, honour). Airplane is spelled
aeroplane ; flying fields are aerodromes. The alphabet
ends in zed.
If a girl likes a boy, she fancies him. The ailing are
never hospitalized; they are in hospital. Nurses are sisters. A regular fellow is a bloke. Just like American
chaps, blokes talk football, but that’s their name for soccer, which they watch on the telly. If they have a fishing
rod, they go angling.
Back to Brooklyn Tech. Miss Kinsler ‘s claim to fame
was that she wrote the lyrics for the school anthem,
which begins: “Alma Mater Tech, may she live for aye.”
I dislike that ugly line, but now I see that she was subtly
introducing us to her beloved treasure, The King’s
English. This reminds me that my Book Report is due,
so here goes:
A corrupt police official is found clubbed to death in
a London alley. Higher-ups, believing that he was a
rapist and drug dealer, know he deserved killing but
must pretend to care. They reason that either: (1) the
drug syndicate got him, or (2) a battered victim grabbed
a handy metal pipe when he let go of her to unzip his fly.
In a roundup of drug dealers, Bennie The Rat hangs
himself in a holding cell; police declarel the case solved;
and – despite her many bruises – secretive Louisa can’t
stop laughing.

spEcial holidaY villagE ladY
By Peggie Stark
How very fortunate this columnist feels to introduce you
to this Scottish Lass, living in Holiday Village with her
daughter Margaret. On May 18, Helen Gilfillan celebrated her 103rd birthday! Helen married William
“Scotty” March 24, 1933 and had a son and daughter.
The Gilfillan family were all born in Glasgow, Scotland.
They moved to Canada in ’48,’ it was too cold, so came
to USA in ’52,’ to Pennsauken, to HV in 2000. Margaret
said they were so sorry not to have moved here prior to
her Dad’s passing in ’98.’ “He would have loved
Holiday Village.”
Margaret said, “In 1939 when World War II broke out
Dad joined the National Fire Service as a fireman fulltime. Mother (Helen) took on his job as an insurance
agent, making collections once a week in tenement
buildings with many flights of stairs. Much of her
strength and good health are attributed to this exercise.”
Helen’s son, two grandsons, and two great grandsons
live in California. At this age, she is medically fit; her
only disability is loss of hearing. [Won’t buy a hearing
aid; “as soon as I do, I’ll die next day!”] Lady Helen, we
say “Happy Birthday, hope it was Grand!”

Hi, to all my friends and neighbors, in
and around the area of Holiday Village.
I’m sure the winter season has left us as we enjoy
spring and look forward to summer to stay for a few
months. That’s what is on my mind as I hope you enjoy
life no matter the weather!
thE shadoW oF YoUR smilE
by Mary Higgins Clark
“A long-held family secret threatens to take the life of
an unsuspecting heiress in the breathtaking new thriller
from worldwide bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark.”
(book jacket) This suspense-filled story is undoubtedly
one of the author’s better novels of recent years. Clark
utilizes her typical writing formula to captivate the readers and keep them immersed in the suspense. There
is the usual protagonist - an independent, successful,
beautiful, career woman, the thriller element with lots of
suspects and sticky situations; and, of course, a
romantic male interest. Add to these elements a long
deceased nun now being considered for beatification
by the Catholic Church, a cast of lesser characters with
their own roles to play, and some devious people who
will stop at nothing to protect the lifestyle that large
sums of money has provided for them and you have
the ingredients for an exciting read, one that will keep
the reader turning pages until the very end.
THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE opens with an elderly
woman being told by her physician and long time friend
that she has only a short time (perhaps weeks) to live.
Olivia Morrow is resigned to her fate but troubled by a
long held secret, a secret which if revealed will affect
the lives of many people, particularly the life of Dr.
Monica Farrell. Dr. Farrell is a much loved pediatrician
who has been summoned by representatives of the
Catholic Church to provide evidence of a cure of a child
in her care, a cure attributed to the intercession of a
now famous nun, a sort of Mother Teresa of the USA.
These two women have never met; it is the “secret”
that connects them and marks them for death.
The Queen of Mystery, in her flawless style, connects
the dots effectively in this, her twenty-ninth novel. She
brings to life a character who struggles with the seeming conflicting concepts of religion and medical science, a character who struggles with the definition of
what identity is and entails. Clark gives the reader a
great traveling companion or pool-side friend. Hours
will pass unnoticed as pages turn and the reader falls
victim once again to Clark’s literary magic.
I guess you are wondering, as I am, “who will replace
Regis Philbin” when he steps down? He has been the
host for many years of what is now the “Regis and
Kelly Show.” I feel he is one of the best TV hosts. Also
Kelly does a great job as his co-host – she needs him
and he needs her. Like many things in life; we must

TRIP TO WILLIAMSBURG
cont.
The third day of our cruise started at
the Great Wicomico Creek and ended at Gloucester
Marina on the York River, directly across from Yorktown.
The entire trip was smooth without any memorable
events.
The fourth day, and the last day of the trip to
Williamsburg, was the complete opposite! The sun was
rising as we left the marina. As soon as we entered the
York River channel I put up the sails and started to go
below. Suddenly, I heard a noise by the side of the boat
and looked overboard. We were surrounded by porpoises! I had no idea these beautiful creatures came this far
up the bay, but there they were. Enthralled, we watched
for over 45 minutes as the 12 or more porpoises cavorted in the waves, jumping and playing all around our
boat. Some would swim far in front, then turn and race
towards the boat, separating as they approached and
sweeping by the sides. Others would fall behind and use
our wake as a playground. They stayed with us until we
reached the buoys leading south and turned towards
Thimble Shoals Light, marking the entrance to the
James River.
As the hours passed, the wind grew stronger, causing
whitecaps to dance on the waves. It finally grew so
strong that we rolled in the jib and, as I took the wheel,
Eddie lowered the main, flaking (folding) it onto the
boom and securing it tightly in place. We ate lunch and
watched the ships enter and leave the distant entrance
to the Chesapeake Bay. We rounded Thimble Shoals
Light and came up on Fort Monroe. Ahead, the James
River was alive with ships. Cargo ships loading coal
gave way to the Newport News Shipyard on our right. A
submarine was coming out of Norfolk Naval Base on our
left, and naval vessels were docked along the shore.
Ahead, work boats were busy helping to build the new
tunnel that would become Route 664. In the distance the
James River Bridge framed the river.
A dark wedge of cloud appeared over Newport News,
racing towards us. Eddie whistled under his breath and
asked me to go below and get the rain gear and life preservers and check to make sure everything was locked
up tight. I handed him his gear, put on mine, checked the
hatches and made sure everything was put away. I went
back on deck to a different world. The sun had vanished,
the work boats were racing towards their dock in Norfolk,
and the sky had turned a sickly yellow green. Eddie had
placed the boat some thirty feet away from a buoy.
Suddenly, rain swept in and the wind picked up. Ed
braced himself behind the wheel, I against the cabin,
and the rain became horizontal! I heard a roar off to our
right (I later learned that it was a tornado) and the bow
began to rise in the air, and then fall with a crash, over
and over for 45 minutes. I was never so scared in my
life! I muttered prayers to myself and was extremely
thankful we had an ocean-going boat instead of the flimsily-made lake sailboats. One of them would have been
shaken apart by the violence. Every time the boat
crashed down, great sprays of water shot out on each
side. Once, the wind shifted unexpectedly and the bow
moved just enough for a huge wave to wash over the
cabin, landing right on my head. We were both well protected by our raingear, which included trousers as well
as jackets and hats, so I really didn’t get wet, only surprised!
Finally, the rain slowed and turned into a fine mist. The
work boats appeared, and one came directly towards us.
It circled our sailboat, waved at Ed, and then joined its
fellows back at work. I opened the main companionway
and went into the cabin. There wasn’t a drop of water to
be seen and except for one lone cushion, everything
was in place. I took the wheel so Eddie could go below
and relax a bit. When we approached the James River
Bridge some time later, the attendant on duty called Ed
on the radio and congratulated him on “one fine bit of
seamanship.” Eddie came on deck with a huge grin on
his face.
A few miles above the bridge, large gray shapes began
to appear through the gray mist. Ships-anchored warships; we were sailing through the Reserve Fleet, vessels from previous wars waiting silently to be recommissioned in case of need. As we moved through the 60
anchored ships, there was not a sound to be heard. I
could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up and
chills run down my spine. You could almost hear the
shouts of men and the sound of bullets. It was like sailing through a cathedral and a cemetery at the same
time.
About an hour later, the sun came out and we could see
the entrance to Kingsmill Marina, our destination. Both
of us were looking forward to going ashore and a long,
hot shower, a filling meal, and a good night’s sleep.
What a roller-coaster day: the exhilaration of the porpoises followed by the terror of the storm and then the
ghostly silence of the great ships. This was a day neither
one of us would ever forget.
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to
yearn for the vast and endless sea..." - Antoine de Saint Exupery

Around the house
with Shirley Solton
New Jersey has been extremely fortunate, weather
wise, as we actually had springtime. The temperature
was perfect, the flowers and trees bloomed beautifully,
and we could sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Yes,
we were lucky in comparison to other parts of the
country.
After spring comes summer and thoughts of keeping
cool, how about some cool desserts that aren't time
consuming but extra delicious? Here are a few to get
you started.
From Renee Dorst:
1 ready made graham pie shell or flavor of your choice
1 - 8 oz. container of thawed Cool Whip
2 - 8 oz. containers of fruit yogurt (flavor of your choice)
1 cup chopped fruit-optional
Mix cool whip and yogurt until smooth. Fold in fruit,
save a few pieces for garnishing. Pour into pie crust.
Cover with Saran, freeze four hours, and take out 20
minutes before serving. It’s no-bake and a refreshing
dessert for summer months. You can do endless
combinations with crust, yogurt flavors and fruit.
When Renee told me about this recipe, it brought back
memories of a dessert I used to make with Jell-O, ice
cream and fruit. It had a special name, but I couldn't
remember it. It prompted me to take out some recipe
boxes to find it.
I finally found it on the internet, but I had a wonderful
time going through my old files and seeing recipes from
friends no longer with us, recipes I cut from newspapers that still had the dates printed at the top- 1972 and
1974, yellowed with age, but used many times. Try it
some time; going back 40 or 50 years brings back
some lovely memories of good times with old friends.
Well, the pie was called parfait pies and simple to make
and simply delicious.
A pie crust, baked or prepared crust
1 small package Jell-O, your choice of flavor
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
1 1/4 c. boiling water
1 c. cut up fruit.
Pour boiling water to dissolve Jell-O in a bowl, cool
slightly. Stir in ice cream until all mixed in. Add fruit and
when cool pour into prepared shell and chill. You can
add some dollops of whipped cream on top when serving. I made it w/strawberry Jell-O and sliced strawberries, you can mix in anything you like or change flavors.
If you have any favorites, please send them to me,
either write or call me. I'm in the Villager directory.
Enjoy each day!
Remember the Food Bank and the box for the servicemen and women for items to make their stay a little
more comfortable. Thank you for your continued support. It's the least we can do.
A warm welcome to all of our new residents. We hope
your time in Holiday Village will be everything you
dreamed it would be.
