What’s Your Opinion?
(Letters to the Editor)
Dear Editor,
I am writing this in response to your editorial in the
September issue of The Guardian. The fact that apathy
is rampant in Covered Bridge has been evidenced
through the years by the ridiculously small number of
people who vote in Trustee elections. However, not
all people who don’t participate in activities or attend
meetings are apathetic.
Many people who live here are in their 70s and 80s
and are unable to drive safely once it is dark outside. I
am one of those people and that is one of the reasons
that I don’t go to evening meetings. Just driving from
home to the clubhouse and back again at night has
become a danger. The roads are not bright enough to
mimic daylight and I am afraid of having an accident
or hitting someone who is walking a dog. No matter
how slowly I have driven this short distance I have
not felt safe.
Also, consider that many people in these age
categories are tired at night and may go to bed very
early or, like myself, feel the need to relax at home
in the evening. Even if someone else drives them to
a meeting, they are not comfortable being out when
they are tired and would rather be in bed.
As for daytime events, there are people who go
to meetings and parties and enjoy it and others who
have interests other than what is offered here. People
have differing needs and interests. That’s what makes
freedom such a wonderful thing. No one dictates what
one has to do or enjoy. One need not participate in
activities to have a sense of community and to feel
that Covered Bridge is a great place to live.

Lou’s Corner
Submitted by Lou Towber
SOUTHERN LAW JOKE...
Questions asked in a courtroom can be very revealing...especially in the South. Even of an old, sweet
lady, many would be happy to call Grandma.
In a trial in the heart of the South, a prosecuting
attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly
woman he had known since childhood, to the stand.
He approached her and asked, “Mrs. Whitaker, do
you know me?”
She responded, “Why, yes, I do know you, Mr.
Coolidge. I’ve known you since you were a young
boy and, frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment
to me. You lie, cheat, you manipulate people and talk
about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big
shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you never
will amount to anything more than a twobit lawyer.
Yes, I know you.”
The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else
to do, he pointed across the room and asked, “Mrs.
Whitaker, do you know the defense attorney?”
She again replied, “Of course I do. I’ve known
Mr. Johnson since he was a youngster, too. He’s lazy,
bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can’t build
a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice
is one of the worst in the entire state. Yes, I know him.”
The defense attorney turned red with embarrassment.
The judge, upon hearing the questions and answers
thus far, asked both counselors to approach the bench.
In a very quiet voice he said, “If either of you asks her
if she knows me, I’ll throw you in jail for contempt.”
***
Q: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed
on dead people?
A: All my autopsies are performed on dead people.
Q: All your responses must be oral, OK? What school
did you go to?
A: Oral.
Q: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
A: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
Q: And Mr. Dennington was dead at that time?
A: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I
was doing an autopsy on him.
Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you
check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
ETHNIC FOODS
Gribenes
This food is often associated with the Jewish
holidays Hanukkah and Rosh Hashanah. Traditionally, gribenes were served with potato kugel or latkes
during Hannukkah.
Gribenes is also associated with passover, as large
amounts of schmaltz, with its resulting gribenes, were
traditionally used in Passover recipes.
Gribenes can be eaten as a snack, typically on rye
or pumpernickel bread with salt, or used in recipes
such as chopped liver, or all of the above. It is often
served as a side dish with pastrami or rye or hot dogs.
This food has also been eaten as a midnight
snack, or as an appetizer. Some Jews in Louisiana add
gribenes to Jambalaya in place of non-Kosher shrimp.
It was served to children on challah bread as a treat.
NEXT MONTH
Egg Foo Young
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So then it is possible that the patient was alive
when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still be alive nevertheless?
A: It is possible that he could have been alive and
practicing law somewhere.

True Story
Submitted by Henry Grossman
This is a wonderful story, and it is true. You will
be pleased that you read it. It is an important piece of
American history.
It happened every Friday evening, almost without
fail, when the sun resembled a giant orange and was
starting to dip into the blue ocean.
Old Ed came strolling along the beach to his favorite pier. Clutched in his bony hand was a bucket
of shrimp. Ed walks out to the end of the pier, where
it seems he almost has the world to himself. The glow
of the sun is a golden bronze now.
Everybody’s gone, except for a few joggers on the
beach. Standing out on the end of the pier, Ed is alone
with his thoughts...and his bucket of shrimp.
Before long, however, he is no longer alone. Up
in the sky a thousand white dots come screeching and
squawking, winging their way toward that lanky frame
standing there on the end of the pier.
Before long, dozens of seagulls have enveloped
him, their wings fluttering and flapping wildly. Ed
stands there tossing shrimp to the hungry birds. As he
does, if you listen closely, you can hear him say with
a smile, ‘Thank you. Thank you.’
In a few short minutes the bucket is empty. But
Ed doesn’t leave.
He stands there lost in thought, as though transported to another time and place.
When he finally turns around and begins to walk
back toward the beach, a few of the birds hop along
the pier with him until he gets to the stairs, and then
they, too, flyaway. And old Ed quietly makes his way
down to the end of the beach and on home.
If you were sitting there on the pier with your fishContinued on page 15

TRUE STORY
(Cont. from Page 14)
ing line in the water, Ed might seem like ‘a funny old
duck,’ as my dad used to say. Or, to onlookers, he’s
just another old codger, lost in his own weird world,
feeding the seagulls with a bucket full of shrimp.
To the onlooker, rituals can look either very
strange or very empty. They can seem altogether unimportant ... Maybe even a lot of nonsense.
Old folks often do strange things, At least in the
eyes of Boomers and Busters.
Most of them would probably write Old Ed off,
down there in Florida. That’s too bad. They’d do well
to know him better.
His full name: Eddie Rickenbacker. He was a famous hero in World War I, and then he was in WWII.
On one of his flying missions across the Pacific, he
and his seven-member crew went down.
Miraculously, all of the men survived, crawled out
of their plane, and climbed into a life raft.
Captain Rickenbacker and his crew floated for
days on the rough waters of the Pacific. They fought
the sun. They fought sharks. Most of all, they fought
hunger and thirst. By the eighth day their rations ran
out. No food. No water. They were hundreds of miles
from land and no one knew where they were or even
if they were alive. Every day across America millions
wondered and prayed that Eddie Rickenbacker might
somehow be found alive.
The men adrift needed a miracle. That afternoon
they had a simple devotional service and prayed for
a miracle. They tried to nap. Eddie leaned back and
pulled his military cap over his nose. Time dragged
on. All he could hear was the slap of the waves against
the raft...
Suddenly, Eddie felt something land on the top of
his cap. It was a seagull!
Old Ed would later describe how he sat perfectly
still, planning his next move. With a flash of his hand
and a squawk from the gull, he managed to grab it
and wring its neck. He tore the feathers off, and he
and his starving crew made a meal of it - a very slight
meal for eight men. Then they used the intestines for
bait. With it, they caught fish, which gave them food
and more bait ... And the cycle continued. With that
simple survival technique, they were able to endure
the rigors of the sea until they were found and rescued
after 24 days at sea.
Eddie Rickenbacker lived many years beyond that
ordeal, but he never forgot the sacrifice of that first
life-saving seagull... And he never stopped saying,
‘Thank you.’ That’s why almost every Friday night he
would walk to the end of the pier with a bucket full
of shrimp and a heart full of gratitude.
Reference:
(Max Lucado, “In The Eye of the
Storm”, pp..221, 225-226)
PS: Eddie Rickenbacker was the founder of Eastern Airlines. Before WWI he was a race car driver. In
WWI he was a pilot and became America’s first ace.
In WWII he was an instructor and military adviser,
and he flew missions with the combat pilots. Eddie
Rickenbacker is a true American hero. And now you
know another story about the trials and sacrifices that
brave men have endured for your freedom.
As you can see, I chose to pass it on.
It is a great story that many don’t know...
You’ve got to be careful with old guys,
You just never know what they
have done during their lifetime.
Retarded Grandparents
Submitted by a Retard Senior
After summer vacation, a teacher asked her young
pupils how they spent their holiday away from school.
One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend summers with Grandma
and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house,
but Grandpa got retarded and moved to Florida. They
go to a building called a wrecked center, but they must
have got it fixed because it is all okay now, and do
exercises there. There is a swimming pool too where
they all jump up and down with hats on.
At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old
man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can
escape. Sometimes they sneak out. They go cruising in
their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out.
And, they eat the same thing every night: Early Birds.
Some of the people can’t get out past the man in
the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food
back to the wrecked center and call it pot luck.
My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life
to earn his retardment and says I should work hard so
I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I
will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren.

If my body was a car, this is the time I would be

Why Is My Mouth So Dry?
Steven Zunger DMD
Are you constantly sipping water to relieve your
dry mouth? Dry mouth is a common problem for
many of us. It is not just an uncomfortable nuisance.
It is painful. It makes it difficult to eat and difficult
to speak. Dental appliances like partials or dentures
don’t fit well. Dry mouth gives you bad breath and
chapped, sticky lips, and at night you wake up feeling
extra thirsty.
There are dozens of medications that decrease
saliva and cause dry mouth. These medicines include
high blood pressure medications, decongestants, antidepressants and many others. As well, cancer treatments like radiation can decrease saliva production.
Saliva doesn’t just keep your mouth moist. It
helps to improve taste and digestion. Saliva helps
with speaking and swallowing and the antimicrobial
nature helps prevent infections. Because saliva helps
to buffer acids, it also helps to protect your natural
teeth and prevent cavities and sensitivity.
Some dietary and lifestyle changes can help. For
example, avoid salty foods. Cigarette smoking also
contributes to dry mouth and pain (as well as so many
other health issues). Caffeine and alcohol also dry out
the mouth.
There is one particular concern that I as a dentist
am very concerned about. People are desperate to
get relief and will try anything that increases saliva.
Usually the ramifications and side effects aren’t considered because all that is wanted is HELP to get some
moisture. This concern is that most people will use
sucking candies with sugar to stimulate saliva production. And it helps somewhat. BUT.....if those candies
have sugar, there will be tremendous and irreversible
damage to your teeth. Damage means very bad cavities that become near impossible to fix.
What kinds of sugared candies am I referring to?
Well, Tic-Tacs, mints, cough drops, caramel candies,
gum, Altoids, lollipops, and hard candies like butterscotch are some of the common ones.
We realize that sugar leads to cavities in our teeth.
The problem with these sucking candies is that your
teeth are in a constant “sugar bath” for, say 10 or so
minutes while sucking on the candy. Multiply this by
5 or 6 sugared candies a day. Often you will tuck the
candy on the side between your teeth and cheek, so the
sugar sits directly on the teeth. This will cause your
teeth to rot (no maybes about this), and rot quickly
and badly.
Well, clearly you are getting some relief with the
candies, so what to do?
The simple answer is to switch to sugar-free.
The same candies that you buy that contain sugar
are usually available sugar-free. When you go to the
supermarket, maybe buy a few different brands of
sugar-free mints, candies, or cough drops and see
which you prefer. This change to sugar-free will not
only help to save your teeth, but will also help to
moisten your dry mouth.
A few other important things to consider would
be to stay away from mouthwashes with alcohol, as
they will dry you out more (the label should read
“alcohol-free”). There is a dry mouth section at the
pharmacy which has sprays, lozenges, rinses and
creams specifically made for dry mouth. They work.
Try them. Also, use a humidifier at home especially
at night to add moisture to the air.
Your dentist or pharmacist can help in managing
the dry mouth problem so always ask for their recommendations.

Five Deadly Terms
Used By a Woman
1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an
argument when she knows she is right and you need
to shut-up.
2. Nothing: Means something & you need to be
worried.
3. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission, do
not do it.
4. Whatever: A woman’s way of saying screw
you.
5. That’s Okay: She is thinking long & hard on
how and when you will pay for your mistake.
BONUS WORD: Wow!
This is not a compliment, she’s amazed that one
person could be so stupid.

Fire Prevention Week
I was doing a Fire Prevention talk in front of a large
group of second graders in one of the schools and I said,
“We practice fire drills in school. Now, we know what the
fire alarm sounds like here at school, but how many have
heard it in your home?” A few raised their hands. I asked,
“Okay, we test the fire alarms in school every month, how often are your fire alarms set off at home?” A little
boy solemnly raised his hand and said very seriously, “Every time Mommy cooks.”
Kids say the darndest things sometimes and they have much to learn, but there is one thing they do know
quite a bit about already, fire safety. I would even go so far to say that the children know more about fire safety
than most adults. Why? Repetition and practice. They have a fire drill every month at school so that they become
so accustomed to what they have to do that it becomes something they don’t even think about. It becomes a
habit. The students and teaching staff at the schools know how to respond in an emergency if things don’t go
exactly the way a routine fire drill is supposed to go. They practice using different exits in case their primary
exit is “blocked” by the fire. You also should have alternate plans ifyour main exit isn’t readily available and
have at least two exits out of every room in your house if there were ever a fire (don’t forget the window as
a way out). Once you are outside, you should have one meeting place that everyone goes to and take count
of everyone. Designate one meeting spot far enough away from the house to be safe and in an area that the
responding emergency units can see you as they pull up to the property. When an emergency strikes is not the
time to ponder your alternatives and options. Plan now. Sit down with your family, your spouse or roommate
and plan what you would do if your house had a fire. Talk about the different exits available and which ones
you could use. Then check them to make sure those windows and doors open freely. We love to teach our children (and grandchildren!) how to become better than us, but sometimes we can learn some things from them.
October 9-15 is Fire Prevention Week and commemorates the Great Chicago Fire that tragically killed
more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless and destroyed more than 17,400 buildings. Through the years,
fire prevention programs are held in firehouses all across this great Nation ofours. Here in Manalapan there
will be Fire Prevention Week open houses at the following fire stations:
Gordons Corner Fire Company -683 Tennent Road
October 15th from 11 Noon to 2 PM
Manalapan Township Fire Company #1-5 Sweetmans Lane
October 2nd from 10 AM to 4 PM
You will be able to meet experienced Line Officers and Firefighters as well as see the many different types
of fire trucks that stand ready to serve you. There will be fire prevention information and demonstrations for
all. Go and have a good time!
If you need additional information or have a fire question, please feel free to contact me at the Manalapan
Township Fire Prevention Bureau.
Be safe,

Old People Pride
I never really liked the term “Old Person” but this
makes me feel better about it. And if you aren’t one,
I bet you know one! I got this from an “Old Person”
friend of mine!
OLD PERSON PRIDE
I’m passing this on as I did not want to be the only
old person receiving it. Actually, it’s not a bad thing
to be called, as you will see.
1. Old People are easy to spot at sporting events;
during the playing of the National Anthem. Old
People remove their caps and stand at attention
and sing without embarrassment. They know the
words and believe in them.
2. Old People remember World War II, Pearl Harbor,
Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold
War, and the Moon Landing. They remember the
50 plus Peace-keeping Missions from 1945 to
2005, not to mention Vietnam.
3. If you bump into an Old Person on the sidewalk
he will apologize. If you pass an Old Person on
the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old
People trust strangers and are courtly to women.
4. Old People hold the door for the next person and
always, when walking, make certain the lady is
on the inside for protection.
5. Old People get embarrassed if someone curses in
front of women and children and they don’t like
any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies.
6. Old People have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom brag unless it’s about their
children or grandchildren.
7. It’s the Old People who know our great country is
protected, not by politicians, but by the young men
and women in the military serving their country.
This country needs Old People with their work
ethic, sense of responsibility, pride in their country
and decent values.
We need them now more than ever.
I was taught to respect my elders. It’s just getting
harder to find them.

Texas Hold ‘em at Covered Bridge
September 9th marked the latest Covered Bridge Texas Hold-em Tournament. The party room
was filled with players who came to try to win the first prize. After hours of calling, checking
and raising they were down to the final table. And then with a final all in it was over. The first
prize went to Lou Potestio, with Artie Rosen taking second and Nancy Hansen finishing third.
The next tournament, The Texas Dolly Doyle Brunson
Invitational will be held in January of 2017. Indications
are that this tournament will be the largest yet. Watch
the Guardian for the date.

Jersey Luncheon and Casino Trip. The luncheon was held at the Sea Oaks Country Club and the gambling
was done at Resort’s in Atlantic City. President Pat Russo with the help of Barbara Michalski and Elaine
Veneziano put together a very enjoyable day and mother nature cooperated with beautiful weather. Some of
the Covered Bridgers who packed the two buses had a very nice day while some had a great day. They all are
looking forward to next year’s trip.

A Time to Remember
Another year has passed and still there is hatred
and murder in so many places, tribes, war lords Muslims, Isis, Syrian, Sumalians, Mexicans, and Iranian
the list is endless. Why aren’t we learning from history? Isn’t that what we humans are supposed to do?
Learn from our history!!!
Let me express how great it feels to have your own
home, in a peaceful community with good neighbors,
and a clubhouse to socialize in. Wow life is good: We
are truly blessed here in a place like Covered Bridge.
However life was not always so peaceful. there
was a time less than 80 years ago when hell on earth
was once more beginning to rear its ugly head.
As we approach the month of November I am reminded of man’s “Inhumanity to Man” in the form of
“The Holocaust” where over 6 million Jewish people
were slaughtered. Let’s meet some of these people
who might have written their experiences had they
survived the Holocaust.
I am part of a large crowd - the year is 1934.
The whole country seems to be here. Bright red
flags and soldiers are everywhere. Everyone is yelling,
“Zig Heil, Zig Heil.” Who is this speaker?
I am a sister - the year is 1935.
My brother tells me not to go out with Hans. He is
a Nazi!!! What is a Nazi? Hans does not even wear a
uniform. He is handsome, blonde and blue eyes. I hope
we get married. He will not mind that I am Jewish.
I am a brother - the year is 1937.
I just graduated college. What do you mean I can’t
work because I am Jewish? My life is just beginning!
This is Germany land of great culture, composers and
writers. We Jews have contributed so much. “Life will
get better soon, I’m sure.”
I am a store owner - the year is 1938.
I work hard but on November 8th all the windows
of my store are broken. Glass is everywhere. Bullies
with brown shirts riot and steal everything in sight
(“Kristallnacht”.) What is happening?
I am a son - the year is 1939.
They broke down our door last night and they
rounded us up. We are being shoved into cattle cars.
I look around I see my parents and hundreds of my
neighbors. Three days we travel, with only a small
piece of bread and a cup of water. There are no bathrooms. It is so cold and dark in this railroad car. I can’t
breath, there are so many people. why are we here?
I am a wife - the year is 1940.
I have been riding in this train with my husband
and son, since daybreak. Ah we finally arrive at a
work camp. It seems nice. They even play music at
the entrance. They have just told me to go to the left
and my husband and son go to the right. What does
that mean?
I am a husband - the year is 1941.
I have not seen my wife since we entered the camp.
No one knows where I am or what has happened to
me. As the Nazis prepare to put me in the oven. I am
too weak to resist. What will happen to my bride?
Who will tell her that, the Nazis will use parts of my
body for industry. I must pray.
I am a daughter - the year is 1942.
I am 5 months in the womb. My mother is taking
me for a walk, I feel pain, it’s a rifle butt and someone’s
shoe, kicking and beating us. I haven’t been born yet.
Give me a chance! What kind of people would do this
evil deed?
I am a mother - the year is 1943.
My daughter is beside me. We are cold and naked. German soldiers are beating and raping us. The
screams are everywhere. We are pused into a shower
room and gassed. We are not the enemy. What is going
on here? There can’t be a G-d.
I am a grandfather - the year is 1944.
The smell from this camp is awful. It smells like
burning flesh. don’t the neighbors notice something
horrible is happening here?
I am a father - the year is 1945.
Today I see my first American soldier. He came up
to me and could say nothing. But his eyes, his eyes said
it all. Thank G-d for that American soldier he and his
buddies really care. I pray that he will tell the world
“Never To Forget.”
Yes we do live in paradise. But once in a while
we have to take the time to remember the lessons of
history, so that we are not doomed to repeat them.
Take a moment to appreciate what we have but we
must never forget.
In memory of the millions of people who died
during the Holocaust and the Second World War.

Time
Time is the most powerful force on earth, nay.it
is the most powerful force anywhere. It travels at its
own pace, nobody can stop it.
It is so powerful and yet you can’t feel it, you can’t
hold it, fold it or buy it.
Some people say time flies. Is that really true?
Time can’t walk, run or fly.
You can’t stretch time, you can’t even see time.
Time itself is everywhere and nowhere. You can’t
touch time. You can’t borrow time.
Time is never ending. You can compare time to a
circle that has no beginning and no end. It will go on
forever. Time itself does not have a beginning or an
end. Long after we are gone, our planet is gone, our
galaxy is gone. Time will still go on.
Scientist say that they can travel through time but
the reality is that we can only observe some events
that occurred in time. We are only participants in time
unable to change time itself.
We use dates to give ourselves a reference of how
our own time passes. The fact is that time existed long
before those dates and will exist long after what we
call time.
Time marches on. no matter where you are. You
can’t bend time. you can’t fix time. And you can’t
smell or see time. Where is time? Do not worry. Time
is there and everywhere; it never gets used up.
In the context of what we think we know of time,
we have not even begun to understand time itself: We
arc in essence time participant travelers. For we travel
in conjunction with time, never affecting time itself.
Time has no feelings, it goes on. If you are in the
wrong place in time, do your best For only you can
change the events during that time.
Can we travel faster than time or slow it down?
The answer is a resounding no.
We are here today and gone tomorrow. We do
not travel in time itself. We merely participate in the
vacuum of time. History is the event that took place
in lime and not time itself.
Tomorrow is a mystery but you know time will
be there.
So enjoy your travel through your time, for your
travel is limited. Rich or poor, president or janitor, sick
or healthy, the end result is always the same.
Your travel is very precious; make the best of it,
for there is no more for you. You can’t borrow time,
you can’t donate time. When it’s up. it’s up. You can’t
stop it!!
Right now, this very second you have been given
the gift of traveling and participating in time. So while
you still have participating time left, enjoy it and use
it well.
3 Words
A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after
work cocktail with her girlfriends when Steven. a tall,
exceptionally handsome, extremely sexy, middle-aged
man entered. He was so striking that this seasoned
yet playful heartthrob woman could not take her eyes
off him.noticed her overly attentive stare and walked
directly toward her. (As any man would.) Before she
could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he
leaned over and whispered to her, “I’ll do anything,
absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter
how kinky, for $20.00...on one condition...”
Frabbergasted but intrigued, the woman asked
what the condition was. The man replied, “You have
to tell me what you want me to do in just three words.”
The woman considered his proposition for a moment,
and then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse,
which she pressed into the man’s hand along with her
address. She looked deeply and passionately into his
eyes, barely concealing her anticipation and excitement, and slowly and meaningfully said....
“Clean my house.”

President’s Message
October 2016
Rose Ann LaManna
President
The CBCA is continuing to repair and replace roofs where needed. We are on
schedule as to the number of roofs that are planned for each year. We are pushing to
have this work completed before the winter months and winter weather are upon us.
The re-inspection of smoke alarms by state inspectors will begin soon. The units
that will be inspected are those who did not pass the last inspection or were not available. Our maintenance staff will assist the inspectors in their work.
Concrete work will also be continued by our maintenance crew, on a priority basis
as this also has to be completed before the snows start.
The landscapers are keeping our lawns and bushes in pretty good shape. They
are also preparing for the winter months. The supply of ice melt and salt are at 100%
and distribution of buckets of ice melt will begin shortly.
Our generator in the clubhouse, which is tested regularly, is ready in case of any
power failures. Our emergency teams are ready as well. Our building captains and
area supervisors are in cell phone contact and are available in case we have a sustained emergency.
We are negotiating contracts in many areas including a new roof on the clubhouse.
This negotiation includes the installation of solar panels which will save us thousands
of dollars on the electric in the clubhouse.
I am happy to report that the attendance at our open trustee meetings has increased
by 400%.
This means that more residents are willing to get involved in their home and it also
means that we must be doing something right.
The negotiations with our owner/investors are continuing. Proposals and counter
proposals have been made by both sides. Many areas contained in the original proposals have been changed, added to or eliminated. These meetings involving the owner/
investor leadership and the CBCA Trustees are ongoing.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
(Cont. from Page 47)
Attorneys for both sides are heavily involved. When final information is available,
all owners will be notified, and the information will be distributed.
Covered Bridge will host a Manalapan Town Hall Meeting on October 19th, in the
ballroom. All residents of the township are invited to attend. I am asking all Covered
Bridger’s to come and hear what your town is all about. You will be able to ask questions
of the township committee members and hear what programs can help our community.
We will also be hosting two political breakfasts early in November. This is an opportunity for our residents to hear what the candidates have to say and ask questions.
(See pages 61 and 63)
Until next month, be safe and remember that Covered Bridge is your home so let’s
respect it and keep it a great place to live
Rose Ann LaManna
President
The Covered Bridge Condominium Association
Board of Trustees
Wish You a
Happy and Healthy

hours.
After the Storm - Women’s Support Group
Wednesday, October 19th - 6:45 PM - Party Room
Learning to not only survive but thrive in the aftermath of a divorce or loss of a
life partner. Please join us.
This group is free and open to all women trying to move forward in their lives. We
hope to provide a supportive environment that will provide open discussions along
with tools and techniques to help women raise their self love.
This will be a place where women can laugh and cry together, a place where shattered self-esteem can start to heal, and growth and renewal will start to take place.
A place to reinvent yourself. Those of us who are further down the path will inspire
new members. For more information call 732-547-3309.

Covered Bridge Post #536
Our monthly trip to Atlantic City’s Resorts Hotel will be cancelled for the remaining months.
Though I tried to get additional riders to aid us to pay the cost of the bus, there was still insufficient passengers. The Jewish War Veterans are a charity organization, we have used in the
past, funds derived from the Atlantic City trips and among other fund ventures as well. The
past few trips proved no improvement therefore, I will see what the New Year brings....
Speaking of the New Year Rosh Hashanah Eve is October 2, and I wish all a happy and
healthy New Year. Yom Kippur Eve is October 11. I will be going to family this year. The services are being conducted by the same Rabbi and Cantor as last year, with the new President
Leo Rosenzweig able overseeing the many organizings necessary.
The Post meeting is on Sunday, October 16 in Covered Bridge I’s Library at 10:30 AM.
TOO MANYMEMBERS ARE MISSING OUR MONTHLY MEETINGS, WE NEED MORE IN
ATTENDENCE FOR FUTURE ACTIVITIES! After the meeting we will proceed to the Party
Room for usual LEO refreshments.
Our monthly trip to Menlo Park is Monday, October 17. The bus will pick us up around
12:30 PM from the Clubhouse main entrance. Most of the residents in Menlo are veterans and
are in wheel chairs. We organize a Bingo game to help the ladies and men enjoy an afternoon of
pleasure. Many need assistance to move the Bingo markers, so one of the Jewish War Veterans
or volunteers from Menlo Park aids them. We are usually home by 4:00 PM.
WE ALWAYS NEED ADDITIONAL HELP AT MENLO PARK!
NEW MEMBER’S DUES WILL BE PAID BY OUR POST
