OV presents record-breaking check
to Treasure Coast Hospice
A check in the record-breaking amount
of $25,040 was presented to Susan DeCuba, the CEO of Treasure Coast Hospice, by President John Smith at the
Ocean Village POA Workshop on April
18. The size of the check represents the
hard work and generosity of so many
OWNERS AND RENTERS here in the
Village.
Charis Melillo made the initial contact
in her weekly visits to Hospice. She requested and delivered the materials needed for the collection. The cluster leaders
and their teams are the heart and soul
of the collection. Thanks to meticulous
record-keeping by last year’s Chairmen
John Valek and Tom Golden, the appeal
got off to a great start.
Special congratulations for a job well
done go to the following: Frank and Alice Clarke, Anne and Jerry Frey, Lynda Willer, Diane Seymour, Joan Fuller,
Bill O’Brien, Judy Cordon, Bill Holli-
day, Pam Reynolds, Tom and Barbara
Golden, Joan Cantley, Pris Oehl, Sylvia
Parmelee, Karen D’Orso, Rosalie Hellenbrecht, Rosemary Olson, Barbara and
Dale Hinze, Michele Hall, Rosemary
Schneider, Anne Balcher, Doris Matthews, Mario Cericola, Barbara Boyle,
Barbara McArthur, Anita Brennan, Loretta Spinelle, Joann Schmidt, Karen
Laird, Bonnie DeWalt, Betty Dewalt,
Lynnie Payne, Beth Cecil, Nancy and
John Valek, Carole and Dave Hulse, Pat
and Al Robertson, Ira Pike and Charlotte
Filby. They delivered over 1,200 letters
to Village households.
Ocean Village bookeeper Cathy Owen
played a huge part, as cluster leaders
gave envelopes to her on a weekly basis.
Eileen Emery, who has worked for Hospice for many years, then took the weekly collections to the Hospice treasurer in
Stuart.
Golf activities during the winter con-
tributed over $5,000 to the total amount.
Larry Roussy, Bill Kerber and Boyd Bert’s
group once again made a very generous
donation from their tournament. Under
the guidance of Beth Cecil, Bill Kraemer,
and Julian Chechatka, a large amount was
raised during the Golf Pro/AM.
The Tennis Pro/AM tournament added $5,500, thanks to contributions from
their sponsors: Southern Eagle Distributors, Archie’s Seabreeze, On the Edge,
Blue Water Grille, Manatee Island, Belen
Martines-Ferraro, The Inn at Ocean Village, Taco Dive, Dairy Queen, and the
Sailfish Brewery.
Norman Spector and his staff of First
Residential employees contribute each
year in so many ways. It is wonderful
to be a part of a Village that understands
the important role Hospice plays in so
many lives and who are so generous in
their support.

BIASED? WHO, ME?
“The biases we form as children can masquerade
as the laws of the universe and shape our lives for a
long time.” When I read this statement in a newspaper column a while back, I wished they had been
my words, since they mirror my own sentiment.
Like the “laws of the universe” phrase, I concur
that whatever we disliked early in our lives tends
to remain entrenched in our memories for a long
time. It’s hard to overcome old prejudices.
A classic example in my own life is ECLAIRS.
Chocolate eclairs, those delicate pastries that many
would die for. Even as I type that word I am overcome with a visceral feeling of revulsion. Why?
The answer is embedded in the memory of a sevenyear-old who, upon returning home from school,
spied a bakery box in the kitchen containing about
six or seven yummy-looking chocolate covered
things. My mother was in the living room hosting
her weekly Bridge club, which served desserts and
coffee. I remember thinking the goodies in the bakery box on the counter were obviously extras since
it was by then after three in the afternoon and well
past dessert time.
There was nothing to keep me from sitting at the
counter and eating one or two of the tasty pastries
staring at me from inside their white cardboard
container. Each one sat in a fluted waxed paper
baking cup that were of different colors. Pink, light
green, light blue, yellow. I had my pick. After devouring the first two, there was no stopping me.
Perhaps I left one or two in the box for my brother,
who would be coming home soon.
It’s amazing to me that I can remember the overwhelming feeling of nausea which overcame me
in what seemed like minutes after my feasting. It
probably wasn’t that quick or I would remember
my mother’s friends witnessing my ordeal. What I
do remember was the seemingly heartless lack of
sympathy I received from my brother, who discovered my plight. (He probably was upset that I had
left him only the meager remains of the prize I had
confiscated.)
A friend in high school had a “thing” about boys
who drank sodas through straws. “Real guys,” she
would say, “don’t use straws.” She also disliked
boys in leather jackets. I often wonder if she ever
met her perfect mate.
Dark maroon nail polish, very fashionable today,
instills in me unpleasant memories of a teacher I
never liked. She was unattractive, I thought, and
her dark nail polish added to the negative image I
had of her.
Such negative feelings over such trivial matters
pale in comparison to more deeply held biases.
Many of today’s problems likely stem from very
early impressions or messages we received years
ago. Skin color, length of hair on boys, blue jeans
worn out for dinner are just a few examples. Sadly,
the list goes on for many whose early impressions
have led to rigid discrimination, sometimes difficult to let go of.
Political biases are often the result of how our
parents voted when we were young. I remember
the button which said “NO THIRD TERM” and
although too young to understand, let alone vote,
I formed a dislike for President Roosevelt. Thom-
MY STUFF

as Dewey had a mustache which I
thought was evil looking, and so I
was happy that he was defeated by
Truman.
My husband, whose grandparents Priscilla Oehl
[email protected]
were Irish immigrants, was told at
a young age to distrust the English. It took many
years for him to agree to travel in Great Britain.
The only way I was able to lure him to London
for a family wedding was to arrange for an add-on
biking trip in Ireland!
Obviously the older we are the longer we have
held onto our biases. It’s about time, however, that
the dinosaurs we may have become take a closer
look at today’s world and without relinquishing all
our beliefs, try to be tolerant of changes. It isn’t
easy!

The Nibble Report
Well, here we are...wrapping up another season. At The Inn on Friday...people
were saying goodbye...lot’s of HUGS!
We all “Go with the Hope”...God willing
we shall return!
As you know...I requested that our
readers send me their favorite fishing
stories...with special attention to the
TRUTH! This one before writing...I personally VERIFIED...and without question I am pleased to pass it along.
But...before I do...remember the famous TV series...Dragnet? The story is
true, but the NAMES have been changed
to protect the innocent!”
I always thought Jerry Frye had a
drinking problem...as it turns out he
DOES NOT! Many times, I have noticed he keeps a flask of “Jack Daniels”
in his tackle box...Well here is the “rest
of the story!” This past season Jerry was
slowly trolling on the river...and came
across a water snake with a frog in it’s
mouth...Frogs are great bait...so Jerry
netted the snake...and quickly poured
some Jack Daniels down it’s throat...the
snake’s eyes rolled back in it’s head and
he released the frog...Once Jerry got the
frog he put the snake back in the water...
he thought! About 15 minutes later...the
snake returned with TWO FROGS in it’s
mouth! Jerry says... “That Jack Daniels
works every time!”
You would not believe who some of
the people were that contacted me with
their “supposed” fishing stories...some
were from women that were TOTALLY
OUTLANDISH! There was “one” in
particular...that I could hardly believe...
so I had to send Boomer out to “check
it out” with her dog, “Holly”...Boomer
came back...with his eyes rolling...and
said IT’s TRUE!!!
Remember...just catch em!

Beachtree II happenings
The parking lots are virtually empty.
We said farewells to Jim and Barbara
(Letersky) Gilchrist, Ed and Loretta Fish,
Art and Nora Goodwin, Steve and Carol Smith, Brenda Meeke, Roy and Janet Parkes, Herb and Sheila Dusinberre,
Bobbi Cattanach and Dolores Principi.
May will see the departure of Pat Hurley, Mike and Barbara Eustace, Margaret
O’Leary Nancy Flannery, Dick and Lori
McAuliffe and Joe and me. As we depart
BT II for a short time, we again leave
the care of our cluster to those eight unit
owners who brave the heat and humidity
of summer in Florida. Safe travels to all
and a refreshed return to Ocean village.
The BT II BOD met on April 26 in
the Aruba Center. We discussed the ongoing meeting with AM3, Comcast and
AT&T for our future providers of cable
and internet services. We have completed our annual termite inspection and we
still have several units whose problem of
termites is ongoing. Coastal Pest Control
will continue to service these owners in
hopes of curtailing any spread of infestation. We have had no resale of units
since March of 2015. The elevator will
have a resting place on the second floor.
Jim Seymour gave us a synopsis of the
future construction needs of our cluster
such as docks, doors, hinges, painting
and roof assessment needs. During the
summer months, we will obtain a working estimate of these costs so we can de-
termine how best to pay for these necessary repairs and the timetable. We have
decided to Opt-Out of sprinkler retrofitting the fire suppression system in each
unit. We do not have any units taller than
75’ (highest point a fire ladder can reach)
that would prohibit quick egress from
any unit via the elevator or staircase. All
owners will be getting a mailing and it is
necessary for each unit owner to sign the
Opt-Out decision. We need a majority of
owners for this decision to take effect. If
you have any questions concerning this
letter, please call Annette at 772-4890300, and she will answer any concerns.
Our next meeting is May 24. We will not
have any meetings during June, July or
August unless we have a major concern
and that meeting will be noticed.
For those leaving, please be sure you
shut off your water, turn off power to
your hot water tank, and take all items off
of your dock and/or porch. Do not leave
anything outdoors while you are away for
any extended period of time. Storms arrive swiftly and flying objects can be extremely harmful to windows and screening.
It has been a pleasure to write this article for you. Let me know if you have any
news to share with the Village.
Happy Mother’s Day, Memorial Day,
Fourth of July, and Labor Day, and every
day in-between!

AWOL news
Another month gone by and more
news from AWOL, now that the season
is winding down. We wish all our members going north a wonderful and healthy
time and a return to Ocean Village for
another great season.
Thanks to Geraldine Vasquez and her
helpers for a wonderful catered birthday.
Also, thanks go to Gloria Perdisatt for
another lovely birthday cake. We, as a
group, want to thank The Inn for a great
season and hope they return for another
great season. AWOL will continue for
the off season with meetings every 2nd
and 4th Monday at 4:30 PM. We will try
to go out to eat after meetings or other
times during the month. Again we, as a
group, will try to play every Thursday at
10 AM, either bocce or shuffleboard. After each game we will try to go the Tiki
Bar for lunch.
We want to thank Ocean Village, as a
whole, for the wonderful season had by
all. So until next season, we wish all of
Ocean Village a great summer. Keep
healthy and happy and most of all, moving.

AWOL continued on age 11
Cook of the Month
I compile this column each month relying on recipes from our residents. Often, no one comes forward and I’m up against a deadline with no recipe. This
month, I quickly grabbed a family favorite of the Snodgrass family and many
of my friends. It’s good with ham, grilled items, and for summer picnics.
P.S. Would anyone like to help me with this column?
Kay Snodgrass

Mix together: 1 1# can red kidney beans, drained

1 t salt
Few drops Tabasco
½ C mayo (I use Hellman’s light)
Combine bean and mayonnaise mixtures. Place in casserole.

MAKE IT A SUCCESS STORY
A lot of people never really understand that to feel good, deep down
inside, you must take care of the
outside. After all, we must count on
our bodies for life; but, to feel good
physically, a person has to work for
it, and most of us just aren’t able to
take that step and make the commitment. After all, don’t we do enough
already?
Most people spend a lot of their
time, without even realizing it, busy
getting out of shape! A true challenge is not easy; however, the rewards and the benefits of successfully
completing true challenge (workout
program) far outweigh the difficult
times the challenge presents.
You also discover a lot about yourself; your strengths and weaknesses.
You experience the power of looking
toward the goals you want to achieve
and how you are going to get there.
You can grow to really enjoy exercising, and to understand proper nutrition. The workouts will not only
make you look better, but make you
feel a lot better, too. A workout program can turn your life completely
around. You can be physically and
mentally stronger.
So, everyone out there, build a
stronger mind, a stronger body and
a stronger life.

Seascape I news
The new FOB access system for
doors continues to be overwhelmingly positive with owners and
guests. Our annual Fire System inspection was completed, all garage
doors were washed, and all sloped
roof surfaces were cleaned to help
drainage and prolong roof life. The
4100 building irrigation system
was repaired and some replacement plants were installed on 4100
island. The landscape committee
continues to work with Coast to
Coast installing plants and making
improvements throughout the property.
Present…
As kids, we all had class attendance. The teacher would call
names for roll call. The only acceptable answer was “PRESENT.” Later in life, while working a summer
job during college, the answer was
“HERE.”
We are HERE. This is one of the
nicest places on earth. I look out the
window, walk around the Village
and on the beach, and still can’t
believe I am here. For some of us,
retirement is an easy transition. We
can’t wait to retire. Not me, I struggled for two years, trying to make
the adjustment. I must have been
weird. I missed the contact with
customers, co-workers, email, the
routines, and I even missed making
collection calls to people that were
not paying their bills. And here I
was in Florida, the Treasure Coast,
with perfect weather and great, just
great, amenities at the best-kept secret: Ocean Village. But I was not
present. MJ, my wife of 46 years, is
very patient. Eventually I could relax, be here in the moment, and just
enjoy all there is here at OV.
Years ago, I took a negotiating
class; it impressed me. A young
man was trying to sell his parent’s
furniture, haggling to get an offer
from an old man. The older guy was
not in a hurry to buy and wanted to
know the family story and why the
furniture was being sold. He wanted to understand the young man’s
motivation. The younger man wanted to get it done and said, “Give me
an offer, I don’t have time to talk.”
The older man was slower and said
to the young man, “What is your
rush? I am the one who should be
in a hurry. I will not be around that
long.” They worked it out. I am a
little older now, in the golden years,
more attuned to the things that happen in life. At different times I was
each of those men.
As time passes, things seem to
slow down. When I look at my life,
it is apparent that for much of it I
was not really present - not really
in the moment. I was always thinking about what I needed to do next,
where I needed to be, and what I
had to do the make life better.
Everyone has so many tests in
life. The wise parent, the person
who has lived it, who has seen it
all says: “Things will work out.”
How can they say that? How do
they know? It does work out because they know it will. Now I am
in my golden years, older and more
attuned to the things that happen
in life. Now I am the aging parent,
the aging spouse, and the one who
is expected to have the answers.
Yesterday my son had some kind of
frustrating event and I said to him,
“It will work out.” It always does.
As we travel through life’s wonderful and sometimes painful moments, it becomes more granular
with a clearer picture of what is really important. What a gift it is to
be present and what an impact we
can have on family and friends. As
we age, we understand what is really important.
Springtime changes things. Some
of us are heading north for the summer. We are all thinking about losing the Ocean Village sunrises and
sunsets. We want to be here but
we are thinking of the other home
and the family someplace else.
Come October we will begin to return. Hopefully next year, I will be
PRESENT with all of you at OV.
Have a great summer…
Dan Sullivan

Coldwell Banker Paradise reports
Spring OV “Guided Tour of Homes”
a huge success!
April 3, 2016 – Over 130 prospective buyers attended the Coldwell Banker Paradise’s Spring Ocean
Village “Tour of Homes and Open
House” on April 3 from 1-4 PM. This
special event is held twice a year, in
the winter and spring when snowbirds are visiting.
“Individuals and couples came
from West Palm Beach, Long Island,
New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut, Minnesota and Pennsylvania,
according to our registration,” said
Steven Schlitt, owner and co-broker
of Coldwell Banker Paradise. Some
of the visitors already live on South
Hutchinson Island but are interested
in moving to Ocean Village. We also
had some locals from Stuart, Vero
Beach and even current Ocean Village owners looking for additional
investment properties.
“The semi-annual “Guided Tour
of Homes and Open House” event
is wonderful exposure for Ocean
Village,” said Schlitt. The tour involved about 25 properties that are
listed with Coldwell Banker Paradise and had signed up to be a part
of the event, which resulted in over
70 showings. There were 13 Coldwell Banker Paradise agents who participated, each one an Ocean Village
Specialist – several of them residents
of Ocean Village.
The event was promoted through
newspaper advertisements, two articles, a front page feature on the St.
Lucie County Real Estate Source,
the Coldwell Banker Website, blog,
Facebook, Craigslist and signs along
the roadway.
“We take great pride in our marketing,” added Schlitt, ”And we go
above and beyond when marketing a
person’s property, too. We have all of
the tools of Coldwell Banker, which
is the number one national brand of
real estate companies, but in addition
to that we have a full-time marketing
department that is staffed with excellent writers and designers; we have a
first class website that is not only local but has strong global reach; and to
top it off, our real estate agents are the
best of the best.”
If you are thinking of listing your
Ocean Village property, or you just
want to find out how much your home
is worth, call one of our Ocean Village Real Estate Professionals today
at 772-489-6100. We also have a fulltime property management department with offices at Ocean Village to
serve any of your property management needs. Whether you are buying
or selling, Coldwell Banker Paradise
is here to assist you.

Southpointe happenings OV trip to the Miami Open
This is the last Southpointe Happenings column until October, so I would
like to thank all of my neighbors for
your continued input and support as
I try to write enjoyable informative
news for everyone to read.
Many people have already vacated our beautiful island. It is evident
by the pool, beach and restaurants,
plus how much easier it is to navigate
around Ocean Village and Hutchinson
island in general. The last theme of
this month was, “What did you do for
Easter and what are your plans for the
summer months?”
June and Don Hall spent a wonderful
Spring Easter Break with their youngest daughter, her husband and youngest
granddaughter visiting from New Jersey. They all spent Easter Sunday at
June and Don’s daughter Donna’s, who
lives on Fernandina right here on the Island. Grandson Will lead young granddaughter Riley on a fun Easter egg hunt.
Donna and Bill hosted a delicious dinner for all, ending with a Bunny cake.
Jim and Vicki Harding have left the Island and are on year four of their GREAT
LOOP sailing adventure. Right now
their trawler is in Michigan, but over
the summer they will take her through
Chicago, continue on the Illinois River,
down about 250 miles on the Mississippi to the Ohio River, and then on to the
Tennessee River. They will finally put
her up for the winter at Kentucky Lake.
Safe travels to Jim and Vicki.
The Southpointe Ladies Luncheons
will continue on the first Fridays of
each month throughout the summer.
Please call Ellen Loew by Wednesday
of that week if you plan to attend at the
Pelican Yacht Club. They are beautiful
events and only cost $16, tax and tip
included. Exact change is requested.
Scott and I leave for a couple of
months to our Lake Geneva resort
home in Wisconsin. We always like to
see visitors, so if you happen to cross
through Lake Geneva, look us up. We
are three blocks from the lake. Until
the fall when we have the next Seaword, I hope everyone has a wonderful
summer and stays happy and healthy.
Until then; warm regards,
Jeanne Worden
Twenty-one tennis lovers boarded
the Magic Carpet Ride bus on March
29, headed for the Miami Open. We
stopped at Island Dunes to pick up fans
from there and also Nettle’s Island.
The tournament at Crandon Park
on Biscayne Bay hosts top men and
women players from around the world.
We were privileged to see quarterfinal
matches featuring Richard Gasquet,
Tomas Berdych and the number one
player, Novak Djokovic, among others. We watched Simona Halep lose
her semi-final match.
Everything tennis is available in
tents around the grounds. Carol Betz,
Celeste O’Doherty and Betty Reyda
Liz Borrelli, Suzanne Lavins, Charis
Melillo and Julie Wheler had fun shopping in the Fila store.
Beth Cecil was busy purchasing
souvenirs for her sports-loving family.
Our pros, Emile deCuba and Jay Penny, met friends from the tennis world.
Thunderstorms threatened but only a
few sprinkles of rain fell. After a hot
day on the courts, we were happy to
relax on the bus ride home with hearty
sandwiches and cool drinks, dreaming
that we would someday hit a shot like
the pros. Gloria and Bob Stuendel declared it a “fun day”!

T he Garden Spot
TCNSP9162
By mid-April, the Remembrance
Garden was lush with color; by midMay, the full bloom will fade a little as the temperatures and hours of
sun increase. Many of the volunteers
have headed North, and most of the
summer work will be maintenance —
pruning, replanting, reseeding, and,
of course, weeding. We thank everyone for their work and look forward
to their return.
One plant that has been a workhorse
in the garden is the gaillardia pulchella, or as we know it, the Indian blanket. This is a North American species
of flowering plant that belongs to
the sunflower family. It is native to
Mexico and the southern states, but
now has at least one species in every
state, including Oklahoma where it is
the state wildflower. Interestingly, it
also naturalized in Quebec, Ontario,
among other places.
The flower sits atop an upright,
hairy stem that branches. The leaves
alternate, with edges that range from
smooth to coarsely toothed or lobed.
The bloom is pinwheel, like a daisy,
and is vividly colored with red, orange and yellow, moving from deep
red of the center florets around the
head, through orange, to yellow at
the very tips. It enjoysfull sun and
blooms practically year-round.
The Indian blanket is favored by
honey bees. It produces a dark reddish amber honey that is reputed to
taste buttery. Like sunflowers, the Indian blanket can be dead headed and
the seeds planted, which we do. It
also self-seeds freely.
During the heat of the summer, the
garden always offers a cool, shady
refuge. We urge you to take advantage of this wonderful asset to Ocean
Village.
As always, for questions, to volunteer, or to donate, contact Georgia
Kraemer at 772-489-8736.

Golf Lodges...
Page 11
News, views and entertainment
As promised, I have included some
pictures of the lucky folks enjoying
the Paddlewheel cruise last month.
Thirteen Golf Lodgers made the trip.
The weather was spectacular, the boat
luxurious and the food sumptuous, everyone had a lovely time with lovely
people …unfortunately we could not
make it. I was very disappointed, but
intend to be there next year because it
just sounded too good to miss.
Just heard from Gloria and Frank
Isabella, who related their own cruise
story; they have recently sailed
through Panama to Costa Rica…. now
there’s a place I would love to visit…..
and had a whale of a time visiting
many of the ecological sights of this
Southern paradise, seeing many exotic
birds, animals, flowers and vegetation.
What a lovely trip.
Julie and Brad Wheler also took
some time “off” from OV this season
to visit the Turks and Caicos islands
and then Julie took off for a couple of
weeks with a group of old friends, to
cool off and ski in Northern Italy, after which they toured around Sicily…
another place I would love to visit.
Seems I am living holidays vicariously through our neighbours! Reg and I
need to catch-up.
Just to make us all jealous, I ran into
Penny and Joe Hogan, our old neighbours, who related their 50th wedding
anniversary cruise. Starting in Chile,
they cruised luxuriously across the
Pacific, visiting several beautiful and
interesting islands, including Easter
Island, Pitcairn Island and ending up
in the Polynesian paradise of Bora
Bora…now who doesn’t want to go to
Bora Bora.? They then flew home via
Tahiti! See what 50 years can bring?
Hang in there!
Back on the home front: Bocce was
NOT rained out, a first I believe? The
winners can be seen below, clutching
their huge prize money of $4 each. My
husband and I actually got to play this
time; well “play” maybe is stretching
it; it was our first attempt, and maybe our last, but we battled through,
especially since there were drinks to
be had at the Tiki Bar afterwards. We
must apologize to Ginnie and Lois,
our partners, who had to put up with
us. Many thanks go to Gloria and
Frank Isabella, who made all the arrangements and then were unable to
play because of the amount of people
vying for the prize money!
With most people “on the move”
over the next few weeks, arranged social events are coming to an end until
the Fall so it is time for us to pack up,
clean up, and head off to Canada for a
while. We will be returning here briefly in August, before flying off to our
daughters in Switzerland, where will
be until January 2017. We will swap
flip-flops for fur boots, sun hats for
earmuffs, and pina coladas for mulled
wine ... can’t be all bad ... now if only
we could ski!!!
This will be the last Seaword report for the Golf Lodges until October
and I will miss our monthly adventures, but will, however, look forward to hearing all about your news
and events over the summer so I can
report in the fall. Email me anytime,
you know how I love good gossip. In
the meantime, have fun, keep well and
enjoy the view.

Beachtree I news
The last BT I social of the season
saw a smaller-than-usual but congenial group as residents began the
gradual exodus back to the “North.”
Neighbors shared their plans and said
their good-byes over tables of food
and drink. We hope they are now nicely settled into their “other” homes.
New to the group were Harry and
Kathy Chekos of North Boston. Harry, along with his siblings Mark and
June of Atlanta, now share the use of
the unit they inherited from their parents. Jim, now 94, and his late wife,
Georgia, were long-time residents of
Beachtree 1, beginning in the 1980s.
Harry says his mother was active
with the poolside fashion shows, took
painting classes, and attended Bible
Study while they were here. Harry,
a structural engineer with The Lahey Clinic, and Kathy, a nurse, haveboth retired, and they look forward
to spending more time enjoying the
good life they will find in Ocean Village.
Not everyone will go directly home.
George and Peggy Baldwin will
cruise to the North and Baltic Seas,
with stops across Northern Europe
before ending in St.Petersburg from
where they will fly home. By sheer
coincidence, Gene and I will be on the
same cruise liner, returning to Ocean
Village. It will be enjoyable encountering familiar faces in our travels.
Ahmed and Katie Hazan will tour Ireland with their children and visit their
New York home before returning to
Pocatello, Idaho.
On a sad note, my April good wishes for Dorothy Basdekis were premature. She did not get to transfer
to Massachusetts, but succumbed to
pneumonia at the Treasure Coast Hospice. She was a lovely and gracious
lady who will be sorely missed. We
extend our sympathies to her husband, Charles, and the family. It is
gratifying to know that Ocean Village
is a loyal supporter of the Hospice.
Thanks to Linda Moses for reminding me of another couple that will be
missed in Beachtree I: Pat and Rose
Gonzales have sold their unit. Both of
them were very active BT 1 members.
Pat served on the Board of Directors
for several years and is a past president, and Rose was an active member
of the Social Committee, helping organize not only the BT I socials, but
the “I Love NY” parties, too. We wish
them and everyone else a good summer. We will be glad to see the returnees next season.

Captain Lynda Willer accepted two
first place plaques for the Ocean Village
3.0 Tennis team on Thursday April 14
at the W.T.T.L. League celebration held
at North River Shores. Ocean Village
women won the first part of the season
in an exciting home match against a
team from Indian River Plantation. Barbara Leve scored the last point in the
last match to secure the first place finish
for Ocean Village by one point. The second part of the season found Ocean Village in the top division playing against
teams from Cascades, IRP, Yacht and
Country Club, North River Shores and
Monarch Country Club. Ocean Village
won 14 out of 15 matches in the second part of the season. Martina Avalina
led the team with a total of 11 wins and
two losses. Carol Kimbell, Sylvia Parmalee, Lynda Willer and Nancy Albano
each contributed 7 wins.
Meredith McDowell, Bobbie Burbank, Judy Cardone, Jane Pryce, Patricia Robertson, Anita Brennan, Joan
Cantley, Betsy Crowley, Gini Lappe,
and Georgia Kreamer all were a big part
of the team effort. CoCaptain Charis
Melillo arranged schedules and matches
and was our biggest cheerleader. Great
support from all the Ocean Villagers
who came to watch our matches helped
us to do our best.
The 3.0 team had a luncheon to say
farewell to Barb Leve who has belonged
to the team for many years. Nina Arrowsmith composed a wonderful farewell poem and players presented her
with tennis balls mentioning her many
attributes as a player. Barbara has joined
Buttonwood and we will be facing her
on the other side of the net. She knows
all our weaknesses but we also know
about her drop shot. We will miss her.

News from the Golf and Tennis Shop
It has been another fantastic season at Ocean Village
golf. We had a record number of rounds in December
and February, despite suffering through many soggy
rainy El Nino-induced days.We eclipsed the 15,000
round mark in April.
Many great shots were produced at Ocean Village.
There were 14 holes-in-one (same as last season), including a husband and wife accomplishing the feat
exactly one week apart, a Jackpot winner in the Couples Championship, and a perfect shot by the season’s
youngest Acer, 10-year-old Xavier Nuss.
The course was incredibly well maintained as a result
of the efforts and expertise of Sean Gillen, Dave Barth
and staff. The golfers enjoyed an assortment of events
that were scheduled: from the Monday, Wednesday and
Sunday Couples Leagues, the Men’s and Ladies Socials,
the bi-monthly instructional clinics by Dave Patterson,
three putting tournaments, and 11 Scrambles that utilized a variety of formats. Thunderstorms threatened to
cancel the only Moonlight Golf Event. Fortunately, we
were able to squeeze it in between two wild lightening-filled evenings. Team Bender, Broyhill and Barnes
bested the 10-team field. For pictures and results, please
check out the mini-scoreboard in this article.
Forty golfers participated in our season-ending Farewell Scramble.The golf and the cookout was a memorable experience for all. Not only did the golfers compete
in the tournament for prizes, but there were numerous
door prizes, and also a great lunch consisting of delicious burgers, hot dogs, chips, macaroni salad, brownies and cold beverages in abundance. In addition, we
tested players’ knowledge of trivia. This writer actually
learned a new word: leveret.
We were grateful for such beautiful weather. It was a
super fun and a relaxing way to cap off the season. I
would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who
played and helped with the event. Special appreciation
goes to Tom Schoenberg, who came up from the Savannah Club to be our chef for the day.
At the end of each year we ask ourselves what can we
do better for next season. Since we can’t control the
weather, perhaps we will find better ways to communicate. We will collect a cell phone number and/or email
at the start of next season. A mass text or an email will
Page 15
make calling less necessary when we have cancellation
or postpone an event, for example. We are in the “happiness business.” I like to say “we are a family serving family.” As always, I warmly welcome your feedback regarding all things golf/tennis shop. (OV7462@
aol.com) Your satisfaction is our primary goal. I want
your golf experience to be exactly what you want. The
golf scramble schedule has already been posted on the
Ocean Village website for the 2016-17 season and is
listed here also.
In conclusion, I have one big request: Players, please
observe all course closures and maintenance days, respect the maintenance crew, your fellow golfers, the
course, and observe all the rules. It is for everyone’s
benefit. Oh, and by the way, a leveret is a baby rabbit.
Just saving you a Google (kit or kitten also acceptable).
Thank you for your incredible support this season.
Wishing you and your families a happy and safe summer!
Warmest regards and safe travels.

REGULAR WORKSHOP
Monday, April 17, 2016
President John Smith called the workshop to order at 1PM in the Aruba
center. All members were present, as were General Manager Norman Specter and Assistant Manager Annette Sanniota. The first order of business was
the presentation of a check for $25,040 to Susan DeCuba, Treasure Coast
Hospice CEO. John Smith made the presentation, which represents fundraising of the entire Village.
Brian Lenon of Coldwell Banker introduced his assistant, Lisa Cataline.
Brian reported 19 units have been sold since January 1. There are currently
four units under contract and 51 for sale. Rental reservations for 2017 are
currently at 336. Brian was asked if he thought the condo proposed for
property south of us would impact us negatively. He does not; he feels OV
is so unique and so packed with amenities, that anything new will not be
able to compete.
Mark Zollo, from The Inn, announced the Tiki bar will be serving dinners,
beginning May 1, consisting of: a grilled ribeye with sides for $14; a salmon entrée with sides for $13, and a chicken entrée with sides for $13. The
dinner hours will be from 4 to 6:30 PM. In addition, the Tiki will also have
a happy hour from 4 PM to 7 PM, featuring well drinks and domestic beer.
Mark also advised he will send periodic emails to those who give him their
email. He asked people to feel free to call him on his cell phone, 954-6094974, with questions or comments. There were some owner comments regarding Tiki staff; Mark explained it is hard to fully staff the bar all the time,
mostly due to weather conditions; however, he supports them and feels they
serve him well. There were questions regarding table cleaning, taking orders at tableside and serving food to each seated person. John Smith explained this is not a full service restaurant, it is a casual informal Tiki bar.
in the footsteps of Keith Cracknell and Alicemarie Donohue.
General Manager Norman reported all work and palm tree trimming has
been completed by Tri Brothers Tree Service for the first trimming of 2016.
The 20 card tables, ordered in January for the OVC, finally arrived in late
March are now in use. All nautical posts have now been installed around
the administration office and the empty lot adjacent to it. Shenandoah Construction came out to finish up the grading and sodding of the western side
of the lagoon on #1 fair way last week; the project is finally completed after
waiting for the level of the lagoon to be at a workable level. The standing
water problem near Crossover #5 will be addressed by our inside grounds
and maintenance crew as soon as we receive a needed part ordered last
week. A leak in the Bermuda pool was detected the week of April 1 and
Custom Pool Mechanics found it in the gutter system and it has been repaired. The pool was closed while the leak was repaired and is now open.
The resurfacing of the Bermuda pool will begin in late May and the work
will be performed by Custom Pool Mechanics. The project should take no
more than two weeks at which time the pool will be closed. The tracks on
the Blue Heron gate wore out and were rusted out, as they were metal. New
aluminum tracks will be installed by Adron and the bid is in the meeting
packet. Our onside grounds maintenance crew had to do the month’s soft
tennis court maintenance on the first Tuesday of April instead of the third,
as the heavy rains experienced the week of March 18 required that court
conditions be addressed sooner than scheduled. Finally, the City Police
Department has started parking their new ATV in our maintenance facility
and an agreement has been signed between them and OV POA spelling out
booth parties’ responsibilities. The Polaris is one of two ATVs purchased
by the South Beach Association for the policing of the beaches. The Beach
Club pool will be resurfaced the day after Labor Day.
Owners had many comments including requests to resurface the Jacuzzi
and baby pool and a query regarding possible causes for the small amount
of fish caught lately. Norm promised to have the Jacuzzi and pool examined

No bocce report was submitted at this workshop; however, there was a
report presented at the March workshop and, inadvertently, left out of the
notes. It follows: Last week we completed the 2016 winter bocce season
with one of the most competitive season and playoffs in several years. The
team winning the championship was the Tuesday morning division winner.
The team was made up of Sal and Yvette Garro, Susan Thew and Charles
Dadieik. Sal’s team was also the champion last year. His team is near the
top each year, even though the players are different, he must be a very good
coach! On Tuesday, next week, we will officially close the season with our
