FROM THE EDITOR
FROM THE BOARD
So many of our celebrations involve sitting around
the dining room table and
sharing love, laughter, and…
FOOD! Thanksgiving officially kicks off “The Holiday Season,” aka the “wear
elastic-waisted slacks” time
of year--six weeks of gobbling, gorging, and getting
fat!
Oprah Winfrey often talks about her Gratitude
Journal. Each day she writes down at least one thing
that she is grateful for. So, before we go down that
turkey-strewn road, let’s take a minute or two to give
thanks for all the wonderful people and things that
enrich our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving…may your list of blessings
be long and never ending.
Duties of a Trustee
Our Four Season Community Association is the
cornerstone of a planned residential community. It
brings continuity and order to the community; it preserves the architectural integrity; and it maintains the
common elements. To be successful, its officers must
uniformly and fairly govern the community.
The Board of Trustees and each officer of the
association have a fiduciary duty to the residents of
the association. This fiduciary relationship imposes
obligations of trust and confidence in favor of the
corporation and its residents. In other words, you are
always a trustee before you are a resident. It requires
the trustees of the Board to act in the best interests of
the Home Owners Association (HOA) as a whole, and
most importantly, avoid any conflict of interests.
Every trustee should be familiar with FSCA’s
Master Declaration, By-laws, and especially our Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R). When
we speak of CC&R, we are referring to our “Rules
and Regulations.” As trustees, it is our duty to help
our residents understand why these are in place. Most
importantly, we, more than anyone else, should lead
by example.
Operating a homeowner association carries with
it many of the very same duties and responsibilities
as overseeing any other business. Serving as a board
member is a valuable and rewarding experience that
should be undertaken by those who see it as an opportunity to serve their fellow neighbors while protecting
and enhancing the assets of the community. It is serious
business, but also a task worth doing well in order to
safeguard the investments of all.
On behalf of the FSCA Board of Trustees, we wish
you all a Happy and Healthy Holiday season!

P.S. If you’d like to send in a photo for our upcoming January Photo Issue, make sure you note the event and where it took
place, along with your name. You can e-mail it to me or put the
photo(s) in the newspaper’s mailbox in the Communications Room
of the Clubhouse.
EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION
With the holiday season fast approaching, we
now are collecting monies to be distributed among
our very hard-working Four Seasons employees.
They serve us quietly and faithfully throughout
the year.
Please show your appreciation for these dedicated employees by dropping off your gift check

We wish you and your entire family a happy
and healthy holiday season.

Since this is the last issue of 2016, I’d like to review
some of the guidelines for writing, typing, and sending
articles to the newspaper. OK….Here goes….
• As per our mission statement, no political articles or jokes are accepted.
• The Steering Committee has the right to accept
or reject any article submission.
• Club and Activity reports should be written
concisely…we don’t need to know that the
Pledge was recited or that someone read the
minutes of the last meeting! The purpose of
these articles is to share information regarding
the club’s activities, in general, and what future
events are planned.
• Articles should be computer generated and sent
to the newspaper’s e-mail address, 4sxsubmit@
gmail.com. Hand-written articles are not being accepted at this time because we do not
have any staff typists.* When we do, handwritten articles will once again be accepted.
Please make sure you do not write/print in all
CAPITAL LETTERS--it forces the typists to
decide what words should and should not be
capitalized. Also, make sure your handwriting
is legible!
• When you type your article, please DO NOT
USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
• Also--and this is very important--don’t use
your computer keyboard as you did your typeFull Line of writer’s. There is no reason to hit ENTER
when you come to the end of the line and
ndow Treatments
want to begin a new line. Just keep typing- Shades - Draperies
-the computer
is very smart--it automatically
ion Shutters and
lineMore
spaces for you!
• When you want to indent a new paragraph,
just press the Tab key. That will automatically indent the first line of each paragraph.
DO NOT use the Space Bar when you need to
indent a line.
• All articles for the January Photo Issue should
be as brief as possible. We have a shortened
time period in which to edit/proof the articles
because of the December holidays and the twome Visit Usweek
At closing of Senior Publishing.
•
Photos

won’t be able to accept hand-written articles from
residents who do not have a computer.

VETERANS DAY
Congress named November 11th a legal holiday in
1938. While the holiday was meant to commemorate
World War I veterans, its meaning became broader
following World War II. This led President Woodrow
Wilson and the 83rd Congress to change Armistice Day
to Veterans Day. On November 11, 1954, the United
States celebrated the first Veterans Day, designed to
honor all veterans who serve in a war.
I think there is one higher office than president and
I would call that patriot. ~Gary Hart
The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting
gratitude.~Jeff Miller
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a
stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.~ Billy
Graham
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! ~Maya Angelou
Better than honor and glory, and History’s iron
pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his
fellow-men.~Richard Watson Gilder
Honoring the sacrifices many have made for our
country in the name of freedom and democracy is the
very foundation of Veterans Day. ~ Charles B. Rangel
Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.~Michel de Montaigne
ads-5356
As we express our gratitude, we must never
forget that the highest appreciation is not
to utter words, but to live by them.
~ John F. Kennedy

Committees
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE
It is with extreme sadness that I inform you of
Tony Della Fave’s death on October 5, 2016. Tony was
a huge asset to the Architectural Control Committee
since joining it in 2015. He never missed a meeting
prior to his illness, and came to us after serving on the
Judiciary Committee for several years. He brought with
him knowledge of both the Public Offering Statement
(P.O.S.) and the Residents Policy Handbook. This
knowledge proved to be extremely useful during to
us. The ACC will surely miss him. Holiday Decorations
Just a reminder--with the holidays coming up, the
ACC requests that the guidelines set up in the Public
Offering Statement (P.O.S.) and Residents Policy
Handbook (RPH), which all homeowners and renters
should have, be followed. Decorative seasonal flags
with a maximum size of three feet by five feet (3’x5’)
are permitted. Seasonal flags do not include sports
or college flags. Holiday decorations of a temporary
nature are permitted. Decorations may not be permanently affixed to the home. For manor homes and villas, per the RPH, “decorations may not be installed in
such a manner as to damage the exterior of the home
(nailing, stapling, screwing, etc.).”
Surveys With Modification Requests
Once again, if you are planning a patio extension,
planting, or removing any trees, it is important that a
survey of your property accompany your Modification
Request Form (MRF). In the case of a patio extension,
it is particularly important, because when the ACC
evaluates your request and inspects your property they
need to determine whether or not you will be encroaching on your neighbor’s property, and that the required
distance of twenty feet (20’) from the property line to
your patio extension will be maintained. Thank you.
Violations Status
As of October 1st, our violation status remains at
zero. Our sub-committee leaders, Ruth Nieskens and
Sue Rutsky, are working closely with Lisa Ditta in the
Management Office, tracking violations and closing
the loop on any open items. Thank you, for complying with our Four Seasons guidelines referenced in the
Residents Policy Handbook
MRFs Have A Six-Month Lifetime
All Modification Requests have a six-month
lifetime. So if you have a project in mind, now is the
time to put in the request so it can go be reviewed for
approval by the ACC and Board of Trustees.
Color Codes
The Management Office has the current list of
approved colors for front doors, shutters, patios, roof
shingles, and awnings. Putting a fresh coat of paint
on an existing item, using the same color, does not
require a Modification Request (this is considered a
maintenance item), but a change of color does.
Driveways
A fresh coat of driveway sealer is a maintenance
item and does not require any paperwork. Planning a
new driveway is a different story.
Per guidelines on behalf of the Community Board
of Trustees dated 7/24/2008 on driveway replacement,
the following rules apply:
• A Modification Request Form must be submitted.
• Driveway will be a replacement only, similar in
material.
• Driveway dimensions will remain the same.
• No additional borders will be added or installed
on the sides of the driveway.
• Prior to excavation, the ACC will review and
discuss proposed replacement.
• A post-inspection will be done on completion of
the driveway replacement.
Clean Up After Doggie
While walking your dogs, remember to clean up
after them and keep them leashed at all times.
Commercial Vehicles
No commercial vehicles may park in streets or
driveways overnight, unless they are proving service
to the property. Temporary overnight parking is permitted in the lower portion of the Clubhouse parking lot.
A commercial vehicle is one having commercial
license plates or one displaying a sign, logo, art, telephone number, or other information advertising or
indicating a business function.
That’s all for now…

The Four Seasons Emergency Management Committee’s mission is to provide organized preparedness
to meet the safety and health needs of our community in
the event of a major emergency or catastrophic disaster.
This article will focus on how we can be pro-active
and prepare for potential threats from environmental
or medical emergencies, or a terrorist attack.
Storms:
A National Hurricane Center study showed that
many deaths resulted from inland flooding caused
by rain-saturated grounds. Although flooding has
not occurred in our experience, a major threat to our
community is power outages due to wind damage and
fallen trees. Winter snowstorms can blanket our area
and keep us housebound. With attention paid to media
forecasts, and having a Disaster Supply Kit on hand,
we can safely “Shelter-in-Place.”
A reminder to residents who need regularlyscheduled treatment for serious illness--a Priority
Snow Removal Form is printed on Page 7 of this issue.
Please register early.
Fire Prevention:
The key to fire safety at home is to be aware of
the common causes of home fires: cooking; lighted
candles; furnaces; fireplaces; and space heaters.
Outside causes include pine needles or leaves (dry or
wet are both flammable). A smoldering cigarette or
the heat from a car exhaust system can also start a fire.
DO NOT park your car on a pile of landscape debris!
DISPOSE of cigarette butts responsibly.
EQUIP your home with fire extinguishers and learn
how to use them. Change the batteries in smoke alarms
and carbon monoxide alarms and test them monthly.
Medical Emergency:
• When every minute counts, CALL 911 on a
LANDLINE if possible! The call will go
directly to the County Dispatching Center,
then immediately to the Lakewood Police with
the location and phone number of the caller.
CELL phone 911 calls go to the nearest tower
and then to the local police, losing valuable
time. Always try to be prepared with a specific
address, location, or nearby landmark. For example: Four Seasons Management Building,
1560 Spring Meadow Drive, Lakewood; or
Four Seasons Clubhouse or Activity Center,
1600 Spring Meadow Drive, Lakewood. In
our community, landline phones are located
in the Clubhouse at the Activity Desk, on the
wall adjacent the AED Cabinet; in the Activity Center Fitness Room, on the wall by the

EMERGENCY CONTACT FORM
The Lakewood Police Department has created this Emergency Contact Form and asks that you fill
it out. Your information will be entered into the computer at Lakewood Police Department Headquarters. First responders will have immediate access to information on your medical condition and who to

BOCCE
In case you didn’t hear the
news, the winning team for 2016
was Sal Nasonte, Rosemarie
Nasonte, Ernest Cialdella, Amelia Cialdella and Bertha Mattia.
Congratulations to the winners!!
Registration for the 2017 bocce season was held
last month. Call me if you haven’t joined yet. We
will find a spot for you; nobody is ever turned away!
In case of inclement weather when the games are
cancelled for the night, the flag location will now be
on one of the poles at the spectator pavilion. Please
look for the flag in its new location if you are unsure
if there will be a game.
The bocce banquet this year was once again held
at Eagle Ridge Golf Club, and a good time was had by
all. The theme was Mexican Night and some guests
came decked out in Mexican attire.
Here is our 2017 bocce schedule:
Start Date: Monday, May 8th
End Date: Friday, July 21st
Playoffs: Week of July 24th – Please note that if a
team will not be able to field a team of four players
for either of the two final nights of competition,
that team will not be eligible to participate in the
playoffs.
Finals: Monday & Tuesday, July 31st and August
1st (with Italian Ices on the 1st)
Hope to see you on the bocce courts next year.

I am once again taking the

showcasing the function(s) of each individual group
before an audience of residents who have recently
moved to Four Seasons, in the hope of attracting new
membership to each group. It is our wish that our performances, exhibitions, and demonstrations of these
endeavors will convey to our guests the pleasure we
derive from participation in these projects. We would
love the “bug” of enthusiasm to be transmitted to those
in attendance.
We are looking forward to a successful outcome
to this undertaking.

SHUFFLEBOARD
Shuffleboard has been well received, with everyone
having a good time. The playoffs will take place on
November 3rd and 4th. Following the conclusion of
the final game on November 4th, the winners will receive their prize during a pizza party for all the players.

DEBORAH HOSPITAL
They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, I
know it takes a slew of people to make a Walk-a-thon
successful.
On September 16th, we ran our annual Walk-a-thon
to raise money for the Hospital. I must use this column
to thank those volunteers who worked that day.
Please accept my appreciation to Nancy Wilinsky,
Gloria Goldfarb, Terry Salzman, June Fenchel, Hank
Efrom, and Priscilla Greenwald for helping to bring
everything we needed from the Clubhouse to the Activity Center, and for helping to set up.
Many thanks to Sophie Klier and Edith Lampert for
their help at the breakfast; and to Phyllis Schoenbart,
Myrna Kaplan and Marilyn Forman for registering the
walkers and also for their help in setting up.
Thanks to June Fenchel, Sandy DeCarlo, and Gloria
Goldfarb for leading the walks, and to Erma and Bud
Hoover, along with Rose Ann Carbone, for their help
in cleaning up.Special thanks to Lois Geschwind for
her delicious baked goods, and to Manhattan Bagels
and Atlantic Bread Company for their generous donation of bagels and baked goods.
Thank you to Al Rutsky for making the coffee.
If I’ve forgotten to name any of the hard-working
volunteers, please forgive the oversight.
Checks are still coming in, therefore we do not
know how much money has been raised. I will give the
final total in the next issue of the Four Seasons Times.
The next meeting of Deborah will feature a very
special entertainer. Hope to see you there.

DIABETES SUPPORT GROUP
Our next class will be held on November 22nd.
The topic will be “10 Small Steps to Better Health.”
Please bring your questions to our meeting. Remember
to bring your dues for 2017, if you have not already
done so. This will be our last fall class until we resume
our spring classes on April 18th.
Our schedule of classes for 2017 is: May 16th, June
20th, September 19th, October 17th, and November
21st. Our luncheon will be held on June 27th.
For those who are not yet members, please consider joining us. Our membership is open to all Four
Seasons residents.

ITALIAN AMERICAN
CULTURAL CLUB
It is with great pleasure that we
announce that our membership drive
continues to be a success! New member enrollment
has experienced a steady increase over the last year.
As of September 30th, the IACC reached 302 members,
thereby exceeding our goal of 300. Attendance at our
meetings has jumped from an average of 105 people to
150--an increase of 42%. This would not be possible
without Betty Millin, Annmarie Carfora, and above
all, Barbara Eklund. They led an exemplary campaign
geared to the new residents of our community. (Approximately 80 new residents have moved into our
Four Seasons community so far his year.)
The IACC elections are scheduled during our next
meeting on Wednesday, November 9th. Of note--the
meeting has been moved from our typical Tuesday
slot so as not to conflict with the national Presidential Election. As stated earlier, we have several open
positions available on our board as well as on various
committees. We encourage all members to become
active participants in the administration. Applications
have been prepared and are available from either me
or Phyllis Guida for those interested.
Our finances are sound. Our discretionary account, as presented by our treasurer, Ralph Carbone,
has reached the $10,000.00 mark. While keeping a
close eye on our costs, we have managed to provide
tasty meals and enjoyable entertainment. Last month
we enjoyed a banquet of stuffed shells and chicken
saltimbocca with all the trimmings. The great voice
of the tenor Vincent Ricciardi resonated in the room
and delighted the crowd.
The trip to Ellis Island took place on October 18th.
The board suggested that we redistribute some of our
funds to benefit all the members of the IACC; in view
of this, it was decided to subsidize up to a $1,000.00
portion of the cost of the trip. In addition, we will
subsidize a portion of the IACC Christmas party with
an amount not yet determined. Of course, this will be
presented for an official vote and final approval at the
next IACC general meeting.
Pino Di Stefano,
President, IACC

It was a beautiful summer, and
now that it’s fall and the winter months
are looming ahead, we are looking forward to attending some of the Four Seasons events that we
all enjoy.
It’s been about eighteen years of enjoyment,
playing our cards every week, and making new
and long-lasting friends. We hope to continue with
this spirit, but it does get a little challenging…the
nights are darker, the drivers are fewer, the chairs
are harder, the cards are more difficult to see, and
sometimes the number of players are fewer, but we
still have a lot of fun.
We have added some new members, and we
welcome anyone else interested in card playing
to come and observe the challenge of pitting wits
with the variety of interesting and exciting games
we play. Our schedules can be found on the weekly
activity sheets.
We extend our thanks to Arlene Gietter and the
Board of Trustees for their help in obtaining new
chairs and furniture.
May we all stay well and keep enjoying our activities!
It has been an exciting summer for our Four Seasons Community, with such great entertainment inside
our Ballroom and out on our patio around our pool.
In August, we had the fantastic Rod Stewart Impersonator, “Rick Larrimore” who made us feel we were
sitting at a REAL Rod Stewart Concert. Then we had
a FUN night out at the pool with the “ALOTTA COLADA BAND,” who made us feel that we were away
in the Islands or on a cruise ship. This pool party was
a gift given to the community--not just members of
the Club--by the Rock & Roll Club. Next up was the
most FABULOUS BAND the club has had in years-THE TOTAL SOUL BAND! They are a performancedriven band that plays old and new music. I was asked
throughout the ENTIRE NIGHT to bring them back,
and I am happy to say I am in the process of doing
just that!
As you all know, our Rock & Roll Club memberJoan D’Elia ship year is not a calendar year; it runs from OCTOBER
to OCTOBER. To celebrate the start of our 10th Anniversary Year, we had our SIGNATURE BAND, the
great CAMEOS (who have kicked off each anniversary
celebration for many years) entertain us. They are beloved by our Rock & Roll Club. I hope when you read
this, you will be among the lucky ones who joined us.
On behalf of our wonderful committee, I thank you
for always making us feel so appreciated every month.
It takes a VILLAGE to put on a successful dance!

The League has 31 teams with more than 120 bowlers competing for team and individual awards. The races
in both divisions are very tight. We may be getting old in years, but I don’t see anyone losing that competitive
spirit we all had as kids. A good example is our two 95-year old bowlers, Charles Maffey, with a 149 average,
and Frank Lipere, with a 164 average. They’re intense and hate to lose; but when they lose, they do it with class.
One has to respect and appreciate all the people in Four Seasons who play golf, tennis, shuffleboard, and
bowling, and who volunteer their services in joining clubs and committees. These people will never get old,
just better.
The winter League starts on January 4, 2017 and ends on April 19th. The weather may be getting cold, but
Ocean Lanes keeps the temperature around 72 degrees. If you want to sign up for the winter season, call Ginny
McHugh (732) 255-2617 or me, Joe Coco (732) 477-0587.

New Recycle Document
You all should have received the current Ocean
County Recycling directory by now. On page 6 it
gives the complete list of items that either one or both
recycling centers will accept. Other than any concrete
material, you can dispose of most items. Empty paint
cans, scrap metal, clean wood, bulbs, tires, and empty
propane tanks are a few of the many accepted items
listed. In addition, the Center on New Hampshire Avenue has wood chips and compost for side dressing,
free for the taking. You can also drop off leaves and
brush at no charge in sections provided at the entrance
on Oberlin drive (just around the corner of New Hampshire Avenue).
Moen Replacement Parts
The phone number for Moen lifetime plumbing
fixtures and parts replacement is 1-908 289 6636. If
you are the original owner and need any fixture parts
replaced, a call to them is all you need. During the
last month, I know of two residents who ordered hot
and cold cartridges for their vanity sink, and another
homeowner who ordered a complete fixture replace-

Step Ladder Hint
The very top platform of your step ladder is an
ideal place to mount a magnetic strip, available at most
hardware stores, to hold your small tools in place while
working on a project. A small open plastic container
mounted to the platform is also a perfect place to hold
screws, nuts and small items you need for your project.
Direction Of Ceiling Fan Blades
With the heating season starting, your ceiling fans
should be set for a clockwise rotation (looking up at
the fan). This circulates the hot air trapped in the ceiling and moves it to the lower area of the room. This
is a good time to check and see if your smoke detector and carbon monoxide batteries might be due for
replacement.
Replacement Window Clips & Lock Latches
Those plastic clips holding the screen in place, and
the window locking latches can be replaced by going
to SWISCO.COM and following the links to Doors
And Windows; Screen and Storm Panels; and Plastic
Clips. Our clips are #70-123.
Garage Door Maintenance
Check your garage door springs and wire ropes for
wear and tear. Go to the Four Seasons website (www.
fourseasonsatlakewood.net) and to Household Tips
for garage door maintenance. This may save you big
bucks in the future.
Remember, when working on a project, don’t take
short cuts. Use the right tool for the job. Wear safety
glasses when dealing with chemicals.
Things Your Burgler Won’t Tell You
I came across an interesting article, “Things Your
Burgler Won’t Tell You” Here are a few highlights:
*Leaving that window open just a crack when you
are away is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it’s
an invitation. *If you don’t answer when I knock, I try the door.
Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.
*Of course I look familiar; I was here just last
week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or
delivering your new refrigerator.
*You’re right: I won’t have enough time to break
into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if
it’s not bolted down, I’ll take it with me.
That’s all for this month…Bob
Bon Appetit
Bridge Tip by Harold Schachter
From a column by Dietitian Ellie Krieger
Most Partnerships today utilize
the “DONT” Convention over
an Opponent’s 1NT opening bid. Often, however, subsequent to Partner’s “DONT” bid (either a one-suited “Double”, or
the lower-ranking suit of a “Two-Suited Hand”), the
Partner of the opening 1-NT will either bid his/her own
suit or “Double” for penalties. The Partner of the one
who invokes the “DONT” bid should never have to
guess what the unnamed suit is. The only way to get
the “DONT” bidder to show his/her unnamed suit
is either to “Double” or “Re-Double,”
Example:
North
East
South
West
1-NT
2C
Double
Re-Double
Pass
2S
After one’s “DONT” two-suited overcall and then
a subsequent bid by the Opening Bidder’s, responding
Partner, the meaning of the “DONT” Bidder’s Partner’s
possible bids are as follows:
• Pass = Partner is content to play in the current
contract.
• Re-Double (Over the Opponent’s “Double”) = Partner prefers to play in your second
suit and wants you to bid it.
• Double (of any natural or artificial bid) =
Partner wants you to bid your second suit
(This bid shows tolerance for all of the as-yet,
un-bid suits).
• Any Suit bid = Natural, showing Partner’s own
long suit
So many Thanksgiving foods are healthy: turkey,
pumpkin, green beans, and yes, even sweet potatoes.
The problem is how we prepare them. This casserole
is everything you could want in a holiday dish. It’s
special and satisfying, but it won’t leave you stuffed.
I whip the sweet potatoes with an egg to make them
creamy without adding a drop of butter, and the pecan
topping adds a decadent yet healthy crunch.
Sweet Potato-Pecan Casserole (Serves 8)
Cooking Spray
3 ½ pounds sweet potatoes (about 5 medium)
peeled & cut into 1 inch chunks
1/3 cup honey
1 large egg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground ginger
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, mist 8” square
baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Bring a few inches of water to boil in a pot with
a large steamer basket in place. Put sweet potatoes

City Scene by Terri Peters
A Reunion of Old Friends
I recently attended a reunion dinner in New York
City with a bunch of my longtime friends. The dinner
was hosted by a couple who live in Manhattan. They
have a wonderful apartment on 23rd Street, and believe
me, eating at their home is like going to the best restaurant in town. It had been a while since we were all together, so after all the hellos and a few glasses of wine,
we settled down to some serious discussions (politics,
business, etc., etc.) “Well,” I thought, “Enough of this.
Let’s get off the serious stuff,” so I asked everyone to
choose their favorite street in the City and tell us why
they chose it. Was I ever wrong about diffusing a hot
topic! This seemingly benign subject became a hot
and heavy “discussion” between a bunch of dyed-inthe-wool New Yorkers! I knew enough to stay in the
background of this wonderful motley group as they
tried to outdo each other. In the meantime, while this
heavy discussion raged on, in my mind I was quietly
building a case for Barrow Street. I especially concentrated on 17 Barrow Street as the address which held
so many fond memories for me.
So let me tell you about my favorite street in
Manhattan. Barrow Street is located just off Sheridan
Square in Greenwich Village, and it’s a typical Village
street with noble buildings, many with a deep history of
early America. The buildings are now a bit bedraggled
but they still stand proudly on the lush tree-lined street.
Barrow Street was named for Thomas Barrow, an artist of some renown at the time. In 1804, Aaron Burr
owned and lived at 17 Barrow Street for several years
around the time of the duel in which he killed Alexander Hamilton. The residence has undergone many
changes since 1804, and when I first went there in the
1950s it was a restaurant named 17 Barrow (not very
inventive!!!). A friend had told me how wonderful it
PAGE 34
was; that the food was inexpensive and very good; and
that the classical music that was played at dinnertime
was superb. However, she neglected to mention that
the place was a former stable and there was no central
heating in the building! Another thing I have not mentioned about this first visit is that it was winter, and
there was snow on the ground, and it was really, really
cold. I had convinced my boyfriend at the time about all
the wonderful things I had heard about the place, so he
was coming along with me on my recommendation. We
drove into town, and by pure luck got a parking spot a
few blocks away. As we rounded the corner there was
beautiful Barrow Street, its trees covered with snow.
It was picture perfect. It was a sight to behold….I fell
in love on the spot. And so, this was my entry into the
contest and my final choice.
I know you want to know if the review I had received from my friend was correct, right? Well, yes it
was. The food and the music were wonderful, and the
inside of the restaurant was warmed by a huge fireplace
and the warm company of “my guy,” so who needed
central heating?? I visited recently and it’s now an
upscale restaurant with no big old fireplace; but it’s
beautifully decorated and, of course, there is central
heating and air conditioning. I had many fun times
there, so I will stick to my happy memories of being
young and counting my pennies, but being completely
happy at 17 Barrow.
By the way, I won the contest! They all agreed they
could not help giving me the prize after that romantic
story, and they wanted to know more about that guy,
who he was and where he was now. Well…that’s a
story for another reunion dinner!

Did You Know?
What to Buy Organic
In an ideal world, every apple you bite into, potato
you bake, and pepper you slice, would be organic.
Fruits and veggies grown organically aren’t treated
with pesticides in the same way that conventionally
grown produce can be. And that’s better for your health
as well as our soil, water, and air, not to mention the
people who grow, pick, and handle our food.
But organic produce costs more--49% more, on
average--and it’s not always easy to find, especially
at certain times of the year.
So what’s a health-conscious shopper to do? Prioritize your organic shopping list by focusing on produce
with the lowest levels of pesticides.
Just remember--and this is important--even if you
can’t find organic produce, it’s still better to eat your
fruits and vegetables than to skip them. Though the
risks from pesticides are real, eating a produce-rich
diet has lots of important health benefits, which include
lower risks of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Fruits and veggies
can also help to ward off cancer.
Best to Buy Organic
The fruits and vegetables listed here are the riskiest
when grown conventionally, no matter which country
they come from (except where specific countries are
noted).
• Best to buy organic: Tangerines, strawberries,
green beans, peaches, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, nectarines (from Chile or the U.S.) and
hot peppers.
• Also worth buying organic: Carrots and cranberries.
OK to Buy Conventional
When you can’t find organic or don’t want to pay
the higher price, you can feel comfortable buying
conventional versions of the fruits and veggies listed
below, no matter where they’re grown.
• Cauliflower, bananas, grapes, raspberries,
mushrooms, broccoli, grapefruit, avocados,
and blueberries.
• Other low-risk choices: Cherries, cilantro, collards, corn, lettuce, onions, oranges, papaya,
spinach, and watermelon.
Buy by Country
For some fruits and vegetables, buying conventional is OK, depending on where the item was grown.
Pesticide levels can vary dramatically in produce from
different countries. And it doesn’t pay to always buy
American; sometimes it’s better to buy Mexican.
Use this guide to pick produce from the lower-risk
countries (usually the info is on the produce stickers or
on signs on the display): Of course, if you can’t find
produce from the recommended countries, it’s always
safe to buy organic.
• Asparagus: Instead of Peru choose Mexico,
U.S.
• Cherry tomatoes: Instead of Mexico choose
U.S.
• Apples: Instead of U.S. choose New Zealand.
• Winter squash: Instead of U.S. choose Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico
• Kale: Instead of U.S. choose Mexico.
• Plums: Instead of Chile, choose U.S.
• Cantaloupe: Instead of U.S. choose Costa
Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico
• Eggplant: Instead of Mexico choose Honduras, U.S.
• Cucumbers: Instead of Mexico, U.S. choose
Canada.
• Snap peas: Instead of Guatemala, Peru,
choose Mexico, U.S.
• Potatoes: Instead of U.S. choose Canada.
• Tomatoes: Instead of Mexico, U.S. choose
Canada
• Celery: Instead of U.S. choose Mexico.
• Mangoes: Instead of Brazil choose Guatemala,
Mexico.

Dining Delights by Joyce Becker, Restaurant Reviewer
ESQUINA LATINA RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE
25 Liberty Street, New Brunswick
732-543-1630
Parking lot next to restaurant (get there early for this)
or on the nearby deck.
Hours:Lunch: Monday-Friday 11:30 am to 11:00pm
Dinner: Monday-Thursday 3:00pm-11:00pm
Friday 3:00pm-12:00am
Saturday: 11:30am-12:00am
Sunday: 3:00pm-9:00pm
The atmosphere is “New York Chic,” from the
mural behind the bar to the faux chandeliers to the
parquet-looking tables with quite comfy chairs. The
dark planked floors, the black ceiling, and the cinnamon colored walls complete the look. The music was a
tad loud, but it put my friends and me in a party mood.
Somehow, although I have never been to Cuba, this
gave me the feeling of being there. When I heard the
music and smelled the tantalizing aromas, it seemed
as if a bit of Cuba arrived in New Brunswick.
There was a time constraint as we had tickets to
see Paul Anka perform at the State Theater about two
blocks away, so we made the decision to have dessert
after the show. The timing was perfect. This restaurant
is perfectly situated for both this theater as well as the
George Street Playhouse.
When we told the bartender that we weren’t drinkers, she charmingly replied that she would create special concoctions for each of us. We told her our favorite
flavors and she magically created drinks around them.
Savoring each sip, we vowed to return for her to whip
us up a Mojito, Margarita, or a typical Latin cocktail.
Then we perused the menu. Well, do you think that
sin is always bad? The dishes we chose were sinfully
GOOD! We shared three appetizers--the Cuban Guacamole served with fried plantain chips ($8.00); Arepa
made with a sweet corn cake, shredded beef and sour
cream (10.00); and Patacon Sliders created with green
plantain fritters, seasoned beef sliders, and Dominican
slaw ($9.00). This fusion of Cuban and Mexican cuisines pleasantly play havoc with your taste buds, and
each plate was beautifully presented. Edible art work.
BRAVO to their creative chef!
Perhaps next time we will try one of their Sangrias
with dinner. There’s a choice of three reds, three
whites, and a rose. It is $8.00 a glass; $18.00 for a 42oz. pitcher, and $25.00 for a 60-oz. pitcher. If you are
a wine lover, check out their wine list
YES! We did return for dessert. Now, we shared
Tres Leches’s sponge butter cake soaked in three different kinds of milk, and topped with whipped cream;
Creama Dealmenda made with almond creme with
mascarpone cheese and Cuban bread cake; and Guava
Mango Cheesecake with guava creme and mango
mixed cream cheese and almond. Each dessert was
$7.00, and quickly devoured. Colombian Coffee $2.50;
Cappuccino $4.50; and Espresso $3.50.
For a perfect day or evening, treat yourself to one
of New Brunswick’s theaters, and lunch or dinner at
ESQUINA LATINA.
God gave you a gift of 86,400 second today. Have
you used one to say “thank you”?

Hints for the Handicapped Compiled by Ernie DiMeglio
Flu Season
Flu season is here, and people with spinal-cord
injury or disease (SCI/D) are at a higher risk of developing even worse illnesses if they become infected with
the virus. The first line of defense is the flu vaccine.
While seasonal influenza is uncomfortable for most
people, for those with SCI/D the flu can lead to lengthy
hospital stays or even turn deadly.
The flu is a respiratory virus that spreads easily
from person to person. Symptoms include a fever
(100 degrees or higher), chills, body and muscle aches,
headache, feeling tired or weak, a cough, a sore throat,
a runny or stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
According to the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), “Most people who get the flu
will have mild illness, will not need medical care
or antiviral drugs, and will recover in less than two
weeks. Some people, however, are more likely to get
flu complications that result in being hospitalized and
occasionally result in death. Pneumonia, bronchitis,
sinus infections and ear infections are examples of
flu-related complications.”
The CDC estimates about 200,000 hospitalizations
and 3,000 to 49,000 deaths annually can be attributed
to the flu or complications from it. What’s more, about
90% of the deaths are among people 65 years or older.
Luckily, there are a variety of steps you can take to
protect yourself that don’t involve avoiding all human
contact or wearing a hazmat suit.
While people can get seriously ill when they’re
infected with the flu, the CDC has identified groups
of people who are more likely to get flu-related complications, including those with brain, spinal cord,
peripheral nerve and muscle disorders.
According to Lana McKenzie, associate executive
director for medical services-health policy at Paralyzed
Veterans of America (PVA), people with SCI/D are at
increased risk because of pulmonary complications
from less effective clearance of secretions, weak respiratory muscles, autonomic changes and decreased
overall mobility. Many people with SCI/D have other
medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma or heart
disease that place them in the high-risk category. Additionally, several published research studies have
found evidence that those with a complete cervical
SCI/D have decreased immune function to fight off
infections, McKenzie says.
The most effective way to prevent the flu is immunization. The flu vaccine is recommended annually for
everyone ages 6 months and older. If you missed the
flu clinic here in Four Seasons, please make sure you
get vaccinated--better be safe than sorry!

In Our Own Words
Bright Star in the Window
by Joseph Liggio
In honor of Veterans Day
When I gaze at sparkling stars in the sky
The starlight seems to have a special glow
Honoring veterans now and in years gone by
Their light shines on the star in my window
So when you see sparkling stars in the night
Remember all those stars placed in windows
We protect our freedoms by doing what is right
They’re the real role models and true heroes
I remember seeing a flag with five blue stars
Five young men left home to serve “over there”
The parents prayed for safety of their sons
They all returned in answer to their prayers
In gratitude to those who’ve served and passed on
They’re the bright stars shining down from above
And for the heroes who served above and beyond
They’re sure to receive a grateful nation’s love
As the starlight shines on our great country
It embraces every heart down here below
Ensuring our nation’s rendezvous with destiny
The starlight shines on stars placed in windows
Yes, the bright star in my window
~~~~~~~~~~~
A Missing Holiday by Beth Prol
Somewhere between raking massive heaps of
windswept leaves and chestnuts roasting on an open
fire, a holiday has gone missing. Commercialism and
Consumption have taken over. The focus has shifted
from families sitting around the table enjoying good
food and company to the biggest and best deals of
Black Friday. When I grew up, this Friday was known
simply as “the day after Thanksgiving.” Now, it has
its own special name and delirium, overshadowing a
day purposed for thankfulness and gratitude. Instead,
the week before that forgotten Thanksgiving holiday,
we are bombarded in our emails, newspapers, and
mail fliers with the updates of retail sales shouting:
INCREDIBLE!! HUGE!! Every. Day. After all, you
wouldn’t want to miss that, would you? Lists are made
and checked twice to see which stores open at what
time (3AM? really?) and which have what deal. Advertisement cleverly creates a gray area, associating a
“want” as a “need.”
PAGE 42
The shop-till-you-drop euphoria creates breathless excitement before one has even left home. This
kind of commercial hype is catchy and the media has
capitalized on it. However, our society pays dearly
for this madness. We spend more time away from our
family and friends--shopping and working; working
and shopping. Our activities have distracted us from
the true meaning of our existence. We need to bring
back leisure time and vacations. Time spent together.
Now I’m no Scrooge, I love to give gifts to my
family and friends just as much as anyone, but when
one thinks of all the credit card debt, all the wrapping
paper sent to the dump, and the general stress one has
to endure, the whole frenzy takes on a sinister side. And
to think that some even dare to extol frivolous shopping as a way to boost the health of the economy! This
kind of thinking only encourages the making, selling,
and trashing of consumer goods. Goods are made to
break. When did we get to be so materialistic?
It is true, it is good to give. But much of the spending during this time is contingent on receiving. And in
all this rush and bustle, in all this craze and hysteria,
we often get the adverse effect: Cranky, Rude, Impatient Shoppers. We need to take back Thanksgiving
so we can go into the Christmas holiday season with
the right attitude.
So. What shall we do? Put Thanksgiving back in
its rightful place…in our hearts. Dwell on the bounty
and gracious gifts you have. Contemplate how even
the struggles make us stronger. Use the extended
Thanksgiving time to grab hold of your family and
share memories; time spent with family is an undervalued commodity. Keep it light and laugh. A lot. Bake
together. Play some board games. Volunteer your time
to a charity. Create traditions. Instead of counting down
the days ‘til the Holiday Season with dread, enjoy the
special Joy of the season. Instead of wanting more,
become content. Be thankful.
Which brings me back to that beloved forgotten
holiday: Thanksgiving. We have SO MUCH to be
thankful for. Remember the Sandy storm? I lost electricity and heat for five days. The experience taught me
that it is easy to be thankful when your house is warm,
you are eating delicious meals, and you can read your
favorite books by the light of a lamp. But when the
storms of life come--and they do-- thankfulness isn’t
so easy. It’s hard to express appreciation when your
world is upside down. And yet, that is when I learned
to be grateful the most.
Don’t look at thankfulness as an emotion of
the heart but, instead, as an action; a verb that requires
attention and consistent practice. Then you will see
that a thankful heart shifts the focus of attention from
yourself to others.
Let’s not let Thanksgiving get lost again this year.
Put aside all those Holiday thoughts until Thanksgiving
weekend is over. Give it the full attention it deserves.
Give Thanks. Be Gracious. And please…save me a
drumstick!
Carpe Diem!
in your home.

Know New Jersey… From the 30th District Office of Senator Robert
W. Singer, Assemblyman Sean T. Kean, Assemblyman David P. Rible
Click It or Ticket
This month we are sharing important information
about the Click It or Ticket Mobilization, as provided
by the New Jersey Department of Law and Public
Safety, Office of the Attorney General, Division of
Highway Traffic Safety.
There’s no denying that wearing a seat belt saves
lives. Nationwide, in motor vehicle fatality cases in
which restraint usage was known, 49-percent of those
killed in 2014 were not buckled up. Click It or Ticket
is a high-publicity law enforcement effort that gives
people more of a reason to buckle up--the increased
threat of a traffic ticket. Most people buckle up for
safety, but for some people, it is the threat of the ticket
that spurs them to put on a safety belt. In Click It or
Ticket programs, law enforcement agencies are asked
to mobilize to focus on safety belt violations and publicize the stepped-up effort through news media and
advertising. It is the two-pronged approach that makes
these campaigns powerful. Not only are tickets issued
to unbelted motorists, but the surrounding publicity
ensures that people know they are more likely to get
a ticket.
For example, from May 23-June 5, 2016, law
enforcement agencies in New Jersey and nationwide
conducted Click It or Ticket campaigns that incorporated zero-tolerance enforcement of safety belt laws
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was,
“thank you,” that would suffice.

with paid advertising and the support of government
agencies, local coalitions, and school officials to increase safety belt use and defend against one of the
greatest threats to us all--serious injury or death in
traffic crashes.
Click it or Ticket campaigns and similar efforts
have increased safety belt use in cities, states, and even
in an entire region of the country. In New Jersey, 372
police agencies participated in the May 2015 Click
It or Ticket Enforcement Mobilization. As a result of
the enforcement and public information efforts, New
Jersey’s seat belt usage rate currently stands at 91.36%,
up from 87.59% in 2014, and the highest usage rate
since the 94.51% that was recorded in 2011.
Why Buckle Up?
Studies show that seat belts do save lives and
reduce injuries during crashes. Seat belts work with
air bags to protect occupants. Air bags alone are not
enough to safeguard occupants.
In New Jersey, an average of 150 unrestrained motor vehicle drivers and passengers are killed in crashes
each year. More than 1,800 unbuckled drivers and front
seat passengers died on New Jersey’s roadways in the
past ten years.
According to the State of New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission’s website, on the page entitled Seat
Belts, it states that “in New Jersey, all passengers of a
vehicle (front and back) must wear a seat belt. Failure
to wear a seat belt as a front seat passenger is a primary
offense, allowing law enforcement to stop the vehicle
if an officer does not see a seat belt being used. For
passengers in the back seat, it is a secondary offense
for failure to wear a seat belt. Passengers may be cited
if the vehicle is stopped for another offense.”
You can access more information about safety belt
use and other lifesaving issues by going to http://www.
nj.gov/oag/hts/seatbelts.html. At this site it is also possible to print a Seat Belt Palm Card. Emphasizing the
life-saving advantages of wearing a seat belt regardless
of seating position, this two-sided palm card features
programs (like the Click It Or Ticket) that underscore
the importance of buckling up.
Another site with additional information that addresses safety belt use and other related initiatives is
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), and that site can be accessed at www.nhtsa.

Senior Silliness…
An elderly gentleman, John, had serious hearing
problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor
and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of
hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
John went back after a month and the doctor said,
“Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really
pleased that you can hear again.” John replied, “Oh, I
haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to
the conversations. I’ve changed my will three times!”
Three old guys are out walking. The first one
says, “Windy, isn’t it?” The second one says, “No, it’s
Thursday!” and the third one says, “So am I. Let’s go
get a beer.”
~~~~~~
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to
get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris
walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman
on his arm.
About a week later, Morris went for a follow-up
and the doctor said to him, ‘You’re really doing great,
aren’t you?” Morris replied, “Just doing what you said,
Doc--Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.’’ The doctor
replied, “I didn’t say that….I said, ‘You’ve got a heart
murmur; be careful.’”

The Light Between Oceans (2016 film)
“In the years following World War I, Tom Sherbourne, a young veteran still numb from his years in
combat, takes a job as lighthouse keeper. As the island’s
sole inhabitant, he finds comfort in the monotony of
the chores and the solitude of his surroundings. When
he meets the daughter of the school’s headmaster,
Isabel Graysmark, in the local town of Partageuse, on
the mainland, Tom is immediately captivated by her
beauty, wit, and passion, and they are soon married
and living on the island. As their love flourishes, he
begins to feel again, their happiness marred only by
their inability to start a family; so, when a rowboat
with a dead man and infant girl mysteriously washes
ashore, Isabel believes their prayers may have finally
been answered. As a man of principle, Tom is torn between reporting the lost child and pleasing the woman
he loves; and, against his better judgment, he agrees to
let Isabel raise the child as their own, making a choice
with devastating consequences.” taken from an online
movie summary.
The movie is based on the 2012 Australian war fiction novel by the same name, written by M.L. Stedman
in her debut novel. I read the book and found that this
film closely follows the story line of the novel. The
main characters are played by Michael Fassbender,
Alicia Vikander, and Rachel Weisz. These actors
bring the characters to life and make you feel like you
are living in the moment with them. You can imagine
what it’s like to live in isolation, cut off from reality.
You can feel the loneliness, the happiness, the love,
the heartache, and the sad acceptance. The movie
captures and holds your interest from the beginning
until the end. It definitely makes you feel something.
That something might probably be different for each of
us depending on your own life experiences. But you
would definitely feel something; and it would give you
“food for thought.” If you were in the same situation,
what would you do? Would you be selfish or selfless?
Think about it…
By the time you read this review, The Light between Oceans might not still be showing in the theater.
You may have to wait for DVD release, but it’s definitely worth seeing. I enjoyed it….I hope you do too.
We often take for granted the very things that
most deserve our gratitude. ~Cynthia Ozick

Roz's Ramblings
by Roz Obolsky
What is relevant about November? Is it the harbinger with a nip in the air reminding us that winter
will soon be here? Or perhaps what makes November
noteworthy to some is the confirmation of the unwelcome fact of shorter days. Let us not forget that in
spite of these inconveniences, November is the time
assigned to Thanksgiving, an occasion for pleasant
retrospection and appreciation of happy events and
associations of times gone by.
In that vein, I delight in giving my personal thanks
to the many people who have participated with me in
so many ventures of volunteerism, and who made each
task more pleasant and successful. I pointedly am not
naming anyone at the risk of accidentally omitting a
worthy participant. You have all heard me express my
thanks to you individually, but I cannot resist the opportunity to SHOUT OUT my gratitude in this month
noted for such expressions of thanks, for all to read
and hear. Thank you all for being such very appreciated friends.

Sudoku Puzzle
Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It
is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares,
using very simple rules of logic and deduction.
The objective of the game is to fill all the blank
squares in a game with the correct numbers. There
are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 x 9
square Sudoku game:
• Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits, 1
through 9, in any order
• Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1
through 9 in any order
• Every 3 x 3 subsection of the 9 x 9 square must
include all digits, 1 through 9
Every Sudoku games begins with a number of
squares already filled in, and the difficulty of each
game is largely a function of how many squares are
filled in. The more squares that are known, the easier it is to figure out which numbers go in the open
squares. As you fill in squares correctly, options for
the remaining squares are narrowed and it becomes
easier to fill them in.

LUNCH & LEARN SEMINAR
“GETTING AN A FOR MEMORY”
WOMEN’S CLUB TRIP TO
PEDDLER’S VILLAGE
Now, if I can REMEMBER, I would
like to tell you about a delightful afternoon luncheon on September 8th with Dr.
Jessica Israel. Dr. Israel is the Regional
Director for Geriatrics and Palliative
Care at Monmouth Medical Center and
Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus (formerly named Kimball Medical Center).
A full ballroom of residents enjoyed a delightful
lunch, catered by Wallach’s, followed by Dr. Israel’s
presentation on memory. In this lecture, she debunked
some accepted myths about memory and aging, as well
as confirming and introducing scientifically-proven
facts. For example, vitamins and antioxidants shouldn’t
be taken indiscriminately--they must be considered in
light of their toxicity and interactions with your prescribed medications. In addition, there are no definitive
controlled studies that confirm the effectiveness of any
supplement on memory and its retention. What has
been proven to help memory is to control risk factors
for diabetes and high blood pressure. Control of these
factors will help decrease the risk of memory problems.
Dr. Israel then used the overhead screen in an
interactive true and false quiz with the attendees. We
learned some helpful memory strategies, including the
following: practice repetition; use of mnemonics, using devices, letters, patterns, etc. to remember; making
lists and using calendars; and, employing more than
one sense in learning new things.
She also offered three components for successful
aging that are tried and true:
• Physical exercise programs
• Strong social support network
• Good perception of yourself and your health
Above all, she strongly
recommended that your doctor look at all your prescribed
and over-the-counter drugs,
vitamins, and alternative medicines, since there can often
be contraindications and even
toxic effects.
The concluding part of the
lecture was an informative question and answer period.
On a crisp September morning, more than 80
women made their way to Lahaska, Pennsylvania, to
attend a Murder Mystery Luncheon at the Cock ‘n Bull
Tavern, which is part of Peddler’s Village, a quaint 42acre development in Bucks County, PA. The Village
features 65 retail shops and merchants, 3 restaurants,
a 71-room hotel, and a Family Entertainment Center.
It has festivals, craft competitions, and a 1922-era
carousel. We were there in the midst of the Scarecrow
Festival. The theme of the mystery luncheon involved
the Golden Girls and the murder of Arthur Walter,
Dorothy’s suitor. Prior to the show, the “girls” came
around to the tables to talk with the Four Seasons’ ladies: the sophisticated, overly-tall Dorothy; the feisty,
candid Sophia; the Southern seductress, Blanche; and,
the naïve, good natured Rose, all of whom portrayed
their characters with impeccable precision. We all got a
chance to write down clues and try our hand at solving
the crime and the “who done it.”
After lunch, many ladies walked and toured the
Village, while others visited the unique, quaint shops
to purchase gifts and trinkets.
Thanks to the Women’s Club for arranging this
delightful day.

MEN’S CLUB SHOWTIME –
SEPTEMBER 24
WOMEN’S CLUB FASHION SHOW
October 4, 2016
It’s Sunday morning, September 25th, as I sit and
write this article. As is the tradition in our household,
we just finished watching “Sunday Morning” on CBS,
which today was a completely wonderful program
dedicated to the retiring Charles Osgood, who hosted
the show for many years. As we watched, my thoughts
kept wandering back to our own Stan Stack, who has
been the entertainment procurer for the Men’s Club
for 15 years, and is also retiring from the post as of
last night’s presentation. What a wonderful send-off
performance he arranged for all to enjoy. The remarkable display of ventriloquism performed by Pete Michaels, the opening act, was a real crowd pleaser. Ken
Wasser’s beautiful baritone voice added delightfully
to that atmosphere in the second act, with wonderful
arrangements of Sinatra favorites and show tunes that
had his audience asking for more at the end of his performance. He graciously complied, pleasing everyone.
Unfortunately, Stan was not well enough to attend
this function and receive the accolades he so richly
deserved for arranging this program and the very many,
many more he brought to us over the past years. The
Men’s Club and the richly- entertained audiences who
have enjoyed your efforts for the past 15 years send
their appreciation and affection for a JOB SO VERY
WELL DONE!
Wow! There were lots of capes, cuffed jeans,
palazzo pants, comfy soft materials, skinny pants,
and even dresses at the annual Women’s Club Fashion
Show. The affair, chaired by Catherine Decker, was
held at Woodlake Country Club, and about 180 club
members attended. Once again, Lynne’s Boutique of
Point Pleasant dressed our own ladies in her lovely
fashions. She also brought glitzy scarves and jewelry
for the guests to try on and buy if they so chose. First
Vice President Sandy De Carlo, awarded door prizes
and 50/50 drawings at the end of the show.
Prior to the show, President Denise Esposito announced the nominated slate of officers for next year:
President, Denise Esposito; First Vice President, Sandy
De Carlo; Second Vice President and Membership,
Mary Keefe; co-chair membership, Kathy Suppa;
Recording Secretary, Terry Lomangino; Corresponding Secretary, June Fenchel; Hospitality Chair, Lizzie
Terranova; and, Treasurer, Karen Raymond. The
election will be held at the November meeting where
nominations can also be taken from the floor.
The Women’s Club is open to every woman in our
Four Seasons Community. Dues are $10.00 a year,
and a nominal fee is charged to cover food expenses at
each meeting. Meetings are held on the first Friday of
each month. Because of their popularity, annual events
Roz Obolsky include a card party, a fashion show, a luncheon off
campus, and a holiday party.
If you have questions or concerns, feel free to
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace

TRIP TO THE METROPOLITAN OPERA ~ LA BOHEME
Fifty years ago, in September of 1966, the Metropolitan Opera House moved from the cramped old Met
on West 39th Street into its current home at Lincoln
Center. This Met may no longer be the newest theatrical
technological wonder of the world, but great pride is
taken in the artistic accomplishments that have taken
place in the ensuing decades. This 50th anniversary
season will continue to add glory to its legendary history.
We were privileged to see the performance of Giacomo Puccini’s “La Boheme.” It is the most performed
opera in the company’s history.
The opera is set in Paris in the 1830’s, and opens
on Christmas Eve, with a small group comprised of
an artist, a poet, a philosopher, and a musician. The
poet, Rodolfo, stays behind to finish an article while
his friends depart for a local café. A knock at his door
reveals a neighbor, the beautiful Mimi, whose candle
has gone out and who needs help. As she enters the
door, she feels faint and drops her key. Rodolfo finds it
and slips it into his pocket, as he is instantly enamored
by her and doesn’t want her to leave. She rallies and
they decide to join his friends and leave for the café.
In Act II, Rodolfo buys Mimi a bonnet and proceeds to introduce her to his friends, one of them being
Marcello, the artist. Marcello’s former sweetheart,
Musetta, comes into the café with a companion, an
older wealthy man, Alcindoro. She is still attracted
to Marcello, falls into his arms, and manages to get
Alcindoro to pay the bill for everyone.
On the outskirts of Paris, Act III opens with a
lovely snow scene. Inside the local tavern, merri-
ment abounds. Marcello and Musetta, having found
each other again, see Mimi. She informs them that
Rodolfo is very jealous of her and it is very upsetting.
Rodolfo overhears the conversation and tells his friend
he wishes to separate from Mimi because he is very
concerned about her cough, and is afraid of losing
her. In spite of this, Rodolfo and Mimi decide to stay
together until spring.
In the final act, set months later, Rodolfo and
Marcello are separated from their girlfriends, but are
lonely. Musetta bursts into the apartment with news
of Mimi, who is too weak to make it up the stairs.
Rodolfo runs to her and they recall their happy days
together; but she is given to violent coughing, faints
and must be placed upon the bed. Musetta gives Mimi
a muff for her very cold hands as Mimi slowly slips
into unconsciousness. They soon realize that she has
died and Rodolfo is inconsolable. ( Interestingly, the
story was retold as a rock musical set in the 1990’s in
NYC in Jonathon Larson’s hit, “Rent.” )
