Lions Pride A Publication of Lions Head South Association, Brick NJ VOLUME 2 NO. 10 OCTOBER 2016 I love flowers. Unfortunately, I can kill any healthy plant in weeks. I found a wonderful calendar full of pictures of flowers in The Clubhouse. When I saw this one, my hearlt felt happy. I hope this bright orange brightens your day. I used plain colored pencils like your grandkids use. Do i have talent- no. “You don’t have to be great to create.” It’s healthy for that mind-body-spirit connection. The Lions Pride is published monthly, and is distributed gratis to homes in Lions Head South.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you...you are in charge of your attitude.” www.LionsheadSo.com [email protected] Lions Head south board of trustees for 2016 President.......................................................John Castellano Vice President................................................

It has been a great summer season. All outdoor activities were in full swing and are winding down. The pool closed on September 11, and was enjoyed by the residents and their guests. We were able to operate the pool even with the leak that was not found early in the season. A contract to find and fix this problem has been issued with work starting the 3rd week of September, hopefully by the time this article is printed it will have been found and fixed. The next order of business will be examining the pool for plaster work as it is flaking off the bottom of the pool. The house painting contract has been extended for another four years with the same contractor. The increases in price are minimal and the same for the entire contract period. One more year remains on the tree trimming contract which has been a huge success. Outdoor activities should be soon coming to an end, bocce and horse shoes. Indoor programs are underway, bowling started at the beginning of September as did indoor shuffleboard for both the men and women leagues. Also starting in September was the new security company. The shift reports are coming into the office from the security officers on duty. Some of the items on the reports are garage doors left open, parked cars to close to hydrants, cars parked in opposite direction. Windows left open on cars and blocking side walks. In addition we have received many complaints for speeding on our streets. Residents have noticed cars traveling too fast. This is a dangerous situation and we have notified the police department and asked them to come into the community to issue speeding tickets. The budget process for next year is winding down and hopefully all committees will have submitted their requests for consideration. The board of trustees this year are very mindful of the fact that monies are not being generated as was done in the past. Many projects were put on the back burner years ago which are now requiring attention. It is the boards responsibility to make sure that we spend the associations funds wisely and protect the community’s property. The board is hopeful that the exercise room which was approved has been started by the time this column is read. As of September 1, we were number 1 on the towns building departments list to have the permits issued. Our contractor will begin construction as soon as permits are given to begin the project. The clubhouse is very busy with all types of events on the calendar. All of the clubs are working hard for the community. There are shows, dances and dinners scheduled until the end of the year. Check the calendar and support the hard working clubs that are providing entertainment for all association members. Thank You. standing committee sign ups Sign-up sheets for the 2017 committees will be posted on October 10th in the Clubhouse hallway and will be taken down on November 10th by 12 noon. We urge you to consider signing up for one or two committees. You must sign up every year to be on a committee; you are not automatically on a committee year after year. Standing committees form the backbone of Lions Head South. These volunteers make recommendations to the Trustees and keep them informed on a multitude of issues. income and expense statement to date as of August 31, 2016 Income: 401.0 Maintenance Fees 401.5 Rental Income 402.0 Late fee 406.0 Interest Operations 408.0 Miscellaneous 409.5 Deferred Income 410.0 Participation Fees 410.5 Interest Part.

There are some of us due to age or financial resources that may have difficulty keeping up outward appearances. To that end I would like to form a group of able-bodied men & women who might spare sometime and effort to help keep our community beautiful. If you have an interest in this project please contact John Cinosky of the Architectural Committee @ 973-5456994, or leave your name and phone number at the office. From The Architectural Committee: As you know, there are unscrupulous contractors and some people posing as contractors who prey on people who live in communities such as ours. As such the Architectural Committee will provide a service to check if any contractor has a record of unfair dealings. The department of consumer protection has a database of violators which we have access to. Therefore, if you wish to get an opinion regarding work you may be planning on or in your home, call us. We make no recommendations. Please note the office has a list of plumbers, electricians, etc. that many residents have found to be reliable and fair. BYLAWS Carol Carlson & Doris Laurence HOW DO I GET HEARD Our community is just like a small city. We have Bylaws, Rules, Regulations and Policies, and Architectural Regulations otherwise known as our governing documents. When we purchased our homes we agreed to follow these governing documents. Many of us never saw any of these governing documents before we moved into our homes. Some of us learned about them by trial and error. We did something and were told you can’t do that as it’s in the governing documents. What the heck is a Bylaw, Policy, Rule, Regulation or Architectural Regulation? We soon learned that the governing documents have much to say about how our community is run. One of the biggest things is that we must operate according to Robert’s Rules. Who is Robert, you might ask. He actually created the rules because he was embarrassed when he had to run a meeting and there were no rules to govern how the meeting should run. Of course, as with many things Robert’s Rules have evolved and been added to across time. Most all meetings, business, governments and organizations are run by these Rules. 4 LIONS PRIDE OCTOBER 2016 What does it mean to us these Robert’s Rules? How do I get heard? There are several ways to be heard by our Board of Trustees. There are several standing committees which report monthly, and often more times than that to the Trustees. Join the committee which handles the problem you are having. - The Bylaws can be changed, you just have to follow Article 14 of the Bylaws to possibly accomplish the change. - You can write a letter to our Board of Trustees explaining your concern, problem or question, be sure to request a response from the Board. - You can go to the office and ask our Administrator Evie to place you on the next Trustee meeting’s agenda where you can speak directly to the Board. These meetings happen twice a month and are listed on the calendar which is contained in the Pride each month. - Attending a residents meeting is not just to hear a speaker and the Board report. It is where you can, at the question and answer time, (usually at the end of the meeting), raise your hand, and when called on have an exchange with the Board. This may well be the hardest part for many people as they don’t want to speak in front of so many people for a variety of reasons. I would just say that you may very well have an issue that many in the audience also share. You should never be made to feel embarrassed or slighted, and I am sure that is never the goal of any Trustee or any other resident. Your concerns are important to you and may well be a concern of many at the meeting. Finally, you should not just complain to your friends and neighbors. That only breeds discontent, resentment and anger. Nothing ever has been accomplished that way. Call a committee chair with your concerns. Join that committee, contact the Board. These are all positive ways in which you CAN effect change and get answers. American & Foreign Service Center 175 Brick Boulevard Brick Twp, New Jersey 08723 CALL SAL... 732-920-6950 CERTIFIED N.J.

The course is scheduled to be closed for greens aerification all day on Monday, September 12th and a half day for tee box aerification on Tuesday, September 13th. These much needed twice yearly tasks assure the continued health and good condition of our already much-improved course. This leaves plenty of time for the greens to regenerate in time of our Annual Tournament on Saturday, October 15th. As a result of this work, the September 13th Scramble was moved from the morning to 12:00 noon, with Bill Leck and his co-workers Jim Mort and Chick Florio planning for a light lunch following the event. The final Scramble of the year will be held on Tuesday, October 11th at 9:00 AM - volunteers needed to run it! As for the Annual Tournament - some teams and individuals have already signed up - but please don’t wait until the last minute as this event requires a lot of planning. Applications are available in both the main LHS Clubhouse and in the LHCC Pro Shop. Price is $30 per person which includes lunch. ABSOLUTE DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS SEPTEMBER 30th. Many members have commented to me on the fine work being done by our new Superintendent, Joe Elias, and have suggested contributing cash as a holiday bonus to show our appreciation. Anyone wishing to do this can contact either myself or Joe Bill. Our last General Membership Meeting of the year is scheduled for Monday, October 17th at 7:00 PM. At this meeting, four Director’s positions need to be filled. The incumbents have expressed a willingness to continue for another term, but anyone wishing to run for one of these positions can complete a Nomination Petition (which requires 20 signatures of members in good standing). In addition, I would like some thoughts from the MGA (Men’s League) members about limiting the handicap differential to 5 strokes. The Website Committee is working on the development of a new project called “Meet Your Neighbor.” Starting with Trustees and Chairpersons of Committees, the monthly articles would introduce the greater community to residents with a brief biography and photograph. Each person will be given the opportunity to share information that they choose and approve for publication on the website. Since the biography will go out on the Internet, our committee will carefully screen that information to protect each individual involved. Some residents have asked for help in navigating our website. The Website Committee is preparing to offer easy lessons to help anyone who is interested to learn how to access and navigate our website so they can enjoy the articles, photographs, videos, and so much more, that is available. An interest sheet will be posted for those who wish to participate. This interest sheet will be posted on the Activities bulletin board. This information will also be found at www.lionsheadso.com. The Lions Head South Website address, and The Lions Pride. Submitted by Patricia Holmes 9/5/16 732-451-0246 snowbirds If you expect to be away from the community for the winter months, please make arrangements to have the Lions Pride mailed to you. The Board and Standing Committees continue to work all year long on your behalf. It is important to keep up with events here. If you decide not to have the publications mailed, let the office know you will be leaving so that the Pride won’t be left in your door. Likewise, when you return in the spring, please inform the office so that delivery will be resumed to your door.

CABINET REFACING FURNITURE REFINISHI The bookaholics by Carol Powell Solid Wood Doors - Many Styles For August it was agreed that although Over 30 Years Experience a somewhat slow starter, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter Tom Franklin, proved Furniture Refibynished / Chairs Re-glue to be a real page turner with more than one surprise atSenior the end. Discount - All Work Done by Ow Set in the early 1970’s Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter tells a tale of Silas Jones, a black child of a single mother, who grows up to be the only law enforcement officer, a constable, employed by a small Mississippi town. Nothing much has happened since a teenage girl disappeared twenty years before on a date with Silas’ one time childhood friend, Larry Ott, the white son of a local working family. No evidence or body was ever found thus Larry could not be convicted of a crime but was shunned by the town and sentenced to a solitary existence. When the daughter of the town’s most prominent family goes missing the town again looks at Larry and Silas for answers. Both men are forced to confront each other and the past finding answers that neither expected. With only one exception the group gave the book rave reviews. 732-557-0100 Tom deLuca 1/8 TABLOID Lake Ridge Blvd. ones ents ded oes ent y of CABINET REFACING & FURNITURE REFINISHING Solid Wood Doors - Many Styles Over 30 Years Experience Furniture Refinished / Chairs Re-glued Senior Discount - All Work Done by Owner 732-557-0100 Tom deLuca spc-084c Blvd. oyce LIONS PRIDE OCTOBER 2016 7 1/8 BULLETIN The Garden club by Carmela Ferraro With the summer weather starting to fade, we are beginning to think of what comes next - beautiful fall! Mums and scarecrows have begun to sprout up all over bringing new color to our homes and grounds. What can’t be mistaken is the pride taken by our community in keeping everything looking pristine. Keeping our plants and flowers looking good can be daunting especially if you have one of the many groundhogs who live amongst us visiting your property. One of the best ways to rid yourself of these critters is simply to keep annoying them as reported by NJ.com. If you know where their burrow is, throw some used cat litter into it. They are meticulous animals who are very sensitive to the cleanliness of their homes. Gravel or fertilizer can also work. You must do this daily until they get fed up and move out. A constantly playing radio may also prove effective. As anyone who is familiar with these little buggers knows, they can do a lot of damage to a garden. Once your gardening chores for the season winds down, you may want to clean out your bird feeders and get ready for our feather friends. In addition, in order to get a jump on spring, you may also want to spruce up your garden tools. A good rust buster is old fashioned naval jelly. Brush on, leave for ten minutes and rinse with plain water. Follow with a light coat of WD40. Sharpening pruners may also be in order. If you still long for the good old gardening days of spring and summer, you can always start leafing through the many gardening magazines available to plan for spring or just dote on your houseplants! They need your care too. A little shower in your kitchen sink will perk them up as you may have neglected them with all of your outside work taking your time. And finally, as you may have heard or noticed two of our beautiful planters on the corner of Lions Head Drive and Yorkwood Drive (by the RV lot), were stolen in broad daylight in July, leaving us with just one planter there. The theft was reported. Just a heads-up that things like this can happen in our community and we all need to be vigilant. Submitted by Linda Adamo 8 LIONS PRIDE OCTOBER 2016 last month was enjoyed by 57 people. Thanks to John Castellano for organizing this event. At this writing the Wildwood Trip will have taken place. We will report on that trip in the next Pride issue. Lions head men’s club Joe Bill Joe Bill has served as Vice President of the Men’s Club for two years and currently is serving as the President for a two-year term which expires at the end of 2016. Joe has done an outstanding job in these positions, but will no longer serve after the end of this year. This leaves a void which someone must step up and fill - preferably at the upcoming meeting on October 5th. Likewise, Bill Leck, who has been the membership chairman for many years, will be stepping down. This also leaves a void in an important position for the membership. We also need a program chairman to help arrange for programs of interest at each meeting. Both Joe and Bill will work with whomever steps up to insure a smooth transition. Upcoming events are “Italian Night” on October 1, “Night at the Races” (and beefsteak dinner) on November 5th, and our Annual Holiday Party on December 6th at the Crystal Point. Also coming up on December 10th is “Breakfast with Santa”. Mark your calendars and see the bulletin boards for more information.

Dice eggplant, zucchini, carrots, peppers, & onion approx. 1” pieces, or any size you prefer. Mix together, adding garlic, in roasting pan. Evenly pour olive oil & rest of tomato sauce over mix. Sprinkle seasonings & basil on top. Library Cover & bake @ 375 for 1 hr. Stir & continue to bake until vegetables reach desired consistency (approx. 20-30 min.) Just an update, the book sale that we donated our discarded books to the American Association of University for Women at their annual book sale raised $27,000. Thanks to all of our residents that donate books to our library. We are continuously getting new books donated to our library. Come in and look them over, I’m sure you will find something that you would enjoy reading. We have fine libraries in Brick, but ours is easier to get to and you are in and out before you know it. If you get involved in your book, just sit down in front of our fireplace and enjoy reading it there. You also will meet wonderful people who you can discuss things with or just enjoy their company. This is a very flexible recipe. Adjust the ingredients to suit your individual taste. Cooking time can also be adjusted to determine how soft or crunchy you like your veggies. Larger pieces are like a stew & can be served as a side vegetable dish or with chicken strips for a complete meal. Smaller pieces can be served as a spread over warm Italian or French bread, especially with the olives in it.

No. 4261 Ad 4812 22 LIONS PRIDE OCTOBER 2016 Paula Intelisano-DeJohn, Manage AGE IS JUST A NUMBER Wally Amos, The Cookie Kahuna Sumner Redstone was 76 years old when he purchased CBS Television. I remember saying to myself, “Obviously age was not a criteria for doing what you love. Doing what you love was the only criteria.” I turned 80 on July 1st. I have a new cookie company, The Cookie Kahuna. I am alive, alert, awake and enthusiastic about life. I wake up each morning thankful that I am still breathing, which is a strong indication I am very much alive. The reality is, you are never too young or too old to pursue your dreams and your deeperst desires. Just say yes to life--your life! People ask Wally how he can keep going and he responds, “How can I stop, especially since I love what I am doing and I believe I will be successful again?” The only reason people fail is because they quit! When you wake up in the morning you need three things: soemthing to do, someplace to do it and someone to do it with. If you do not love what you are doing, you are just taking up space. Loving what you are doing is the reward. As Satchel Page, who played baseball when he was 50, “How old would you be if you did not know how old you were?” Now, that is deep wisdom.
