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

Some projects we are currently working on for the continued beautification of our property include: Power-washing: Three bids were obtained for this project. Blast to the Past came in with the lowest bid at a cost of $5,950. This project began the first week in May. This year we budgeted to have all 16 CONDO buildings power-washed within three weeks. In the past, we have always split the project into two phases over the course of two years. Any concerns should be called into MAMCO's customer service dept at (856) 273-8483. A final inspection will be performed by MAMCO and the board prior to final payment. Chimney Cap Replacements: MAMCO will be replacing all CONDO caps with aluminum capping material. The cost of this project is estimated at $28,000, which will be funded from reserves. This should be the last significant reserve item other than roofs which we are currently budgeting. Landscaping: The board voted to renew the landscaping and snow removal contract with J&S for another 3 years. We have also approved various landscaping beautification projects throughout the community which include but are not limited to tree and bush removal and replacements. Landscaping inspections are performed periodically by the board and management. We try to accommodate as many residents as possible; however we do have a budget to stay within. Any irrigation problems should be reported to MAMCO's customer service department at (856) 273-8483. Snow: Thought you might be curious as to how the snow removal affected the Holiday Village Condominium Association budget... Total expense for 2010 was in excess of $42,000. 2011 year to date has already reached $49,000. At this time, we feel the budget will balance by the end of the year. There has been no discussion regarding any type of a special assessment for condo owners at this time. dents and our community, plus they can bite really hard – just ask Marty! Parking: There are no assigned CONDO parking spaces within the community. Parking spaces may be used on a first come basis. This applies to handicap spaces as well. We try to allow enough spaces for owners with handicap stickers, however these are not assigned. We do request owners with more than one car used less frequently to park in a space away from the building to allow additional spaces for other residents or visitors. Some areas have much more parking than others. Unfortunately, this is the way the community was built. We can not mandate where visitors park on a temporary basis. We must all be courteous to our neighbors. Homeowner Link Elite: Maybe you are unclear on this program??? If you register with management for this program, you will receive broadcast messages which are received by all residents at one time; these messages can include community information, such as meeting reminders and community events. If you would like to sign up please contact management at (856)2738483. This is not to be confused with the phone link through HVCSA. Spring inspections have begun. Management performs periodic inspections throughout the community. Violation notices will be issued for excess lawn decorations (no more than 3). Patio furniture can not block walkways in the event of an emergency. Empty planters should be out of sight or filled with a blooming arrangement. Did you know???? As a member of the Condominium Association, you are also a member of the Holiday Village Community Services Association (HVCSA). As members of both associations, you are entitled to voting rights, all amenities and community participation. Association dues to HVCSA are included in your Condo assessments. HVCSA rates can affect our HVCA budget annually. Final Thought... As Memorial Day passes, our thoughts and prayers remain with our military troops and their families. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Geese: Residents should be reminded never to feed the geese. This creates a health hazard to both resi–5– Upcoming EvEnts tRip committEE By Marian Coppola social committEE By Joan Adler Hopefully the weather will improve and we will all feel better when the sun shines again on a daily basis and the rain goes away. Quite a few Villagers have been sick and are still feeling bad. We hope they are better soon. We wish them well! Because of the illnesses, participation has really dropped. I was able to lower the cost because the bus company had offered a special for several months. The cost is now back to the original price, and we have less people going. Maybe if we all try to get a friend, neighbor. or family member to join us, we will be able to reduce the cost and also continue these monthly casino trips. New residents, please feel welcome to join us for an outing and good camaraderie! If we continue losing people we cannot cover expenses. Everyone has always seemed to enjoy these trips, and we all look forward to them. Also, I asked everyone to please have the full amount paid for about one (1) week prior or earlier if possible. This is not happening, which is making it more difficult for me to really plan for how many are going. In the 26 years that I have been doing this, no one has ever lost money they paid on our trips. It’s really hard to believe that summer is actually here and soon the new Social Committee will have been in existence for one year. As you can recall, we announced the formation of our group with the first event, the Halloween party in 2010. Just to let you all know, we as a group have evolved as time has gone on, and you’ve seen this with the Halloween, Holliday, Daylight Savings party and now our Luau. We’ve tried to keep things fresh and new to all of our residents and guests who have attended our functions. In order to keep this up as we approach our one year anniversary, and make our events as enjoyable as possible, we are asking you, the residents, to help us out. This column is being devoted to your feedback. We would like to know your thoughts and Ideas on past and future social events. What did you like or dislike in past events? What would you like to see in the future? Please keep in mind that we are residents just like you. We formed the group because we like people and would like to socialize and meet more people in our community. Most important is to have an evening of fun where we don’t have to go very far to do it. In order to keep this group alive, please contact myself or Irene O’Brien with any comments, thoughts, or suggestions that you may have for future events. Signup for our Luau pool party is June 1 at the clubhouse. The hours are 6 to 7 p.m. Checks only, please. The price is $14 for residents, $16 for guests. ************************** Other groups ask you to get a replacement, or you lose your money. We have never operated that way, so you don’t ever have to worry when you pay early. You will never lose the money you paid as long as I am chair of this Trip Committee! So please pay early to help this situation. I have to call people days before the trip because they signed up, had not paid, and still planned on going, in most cases. Things happen, people get sick; believe me we all understand this, but there is no reason not to pay in advance. Please think about this and try to help us with this problem. I would really appreciate your cooperation. Also remember to call me 234-3945 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., for reservations, info, or questions. Thank you, be well and enjoy the summer! –6– FUn in thE sUn With aqUacisE hEalth & WElFaRE committEE By Carol Carmany We are pleased to announce our guest speaker will be columnist and writer, Sally Friedman. Her presentation is titled: “Lifesounds: An Affectionate Look at Ordinary Life.” It’s for anyone of any age who’s ever felt vulnerable, disappointed, jubilant, proud, and in need of a hug! Her subject is the sweet pleasures of ordinary life. Please join us this summer for the Aquacise Program in our heated pool. These water exercises are designed to help improve muscle strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness. The low-level aerobic exercises combined with the buoyancy of the water help to relieve joint stiffness and back pain. No swimming skills are necessary. We do suggest you wear a hat, sunglasses, sun block, and bring a “noodle.” Classes will be held Tuesday and Thursday from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m., on June 21 through Aug. 18. You may signup for either every Tuesday or every Thursday. Signup will be at the Clubhouse on June 9, at 7 p.m. It will be necessary to register IN PERSON in order to sign an “Exercise Consent” form. Please bring a check for $15, payable to HVCSA for this nine week program. June Program This accomplished writer, whose works have appeared in the New York Times, Ladies Home Journal, Family Circle, SJ Magazine, and the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, along with national and regional newspapers, shares the sounds of her own life with audiences around the country. Sally Friedman writes – and speaks – from the soul, whether it’s about diets, doubts, shouts of joy or bouts of the blues. Lifesounds is like a heartwarming conversation with a good friend. Audiences love the mix of humor and honesty, and the pleasure of recognizing themselves in Sally’s world. The date is Wednesday, June 22, at 1 p.m. Plan to stay for refreshments – coffee, tea, punch, dessert, and chit-chat. You can come casual, ready for some pool time afterwards. This is our last program until the fall season, so we hope to see ya’ll! itEms oF intEREst a thank YoU to al BovE By Harry G. Ivory Al has lived in Holiday Village since 1990 and has served on the Board of Trustees (BOT) since 1992. Al was also a past president of the BOT. The BOT lost a considerable amount of experience and dedication when Al was not re-elected to the board. Al has dedicated his time and efforts to improving the Holiday Village community. There is very little about Holiday Village that AL is not aware of or knows how to repair. We enjoy many amenities in our village like the lakes, tennis courts, swimming pool, bocce court, putting green etc. We enjoy these amenities with little or no knowledge of what it takes to maintain them in. Take for instance the eight lakes – who knows or understands the need or operation of the ware boxes; they are the concrete boxes in each lake whose primary purpose is to protect our Village from flooding due to the Pennsauken Creek that flows through our Community. These boxes control the water level in the lakes, if the water gets too high it may overflow. The ware boxes drain the excess water into the Pennsauken Creek, thereby avoiding flooding. The lake banks and how they are maintained to keep our properties from sliding into the lakes is something that Al continually monitors to protect and keep our properties safe. –7– There are 31 islands around our community. They are maintained and look great. However, they provide another service to our community – with heavy snow falls where is most of the snow piled? You are right, on the islands. Al has all this type of information at his fingertips. The BOT will miss his presence and expertise, and I am sure we will be coming to him for advice. Al has a ready smile and is always ready to render assistance when asked. His temperament is even, and he loves Holiday Village and wants the best for all residents. The BOT wishes him well and is hopeful that Al will share his knowledge with us when we need it.

All residents are welcome to use and enjoy the green. Due to the lack of rain last summer and the harsh winter that followed, many of the shrubs and trees in our community have suffered. The ARB is asking all residents to inspect their property, and please remove all dead landscaping. They are also requesting that homeowners remove the lower tree limbs that overhang the sidewalk or create a hazard for the men cutting our grass. Help us to keep Holiday Village beautiful. The Architectural Review Board thanks you for your cooperation. Deadlines: The deadline for news items for the July 2011 Holiday Villager Update is June 8th. The deadline for news items for the August 2011 issue of The Holiday Villager is July 8th. –8– committEE nEWs chat With volUntEERs By Peggie Stark In our efforts to recognize each volunteer in Holiday Village by name with a short Bio, we want you to meet a major arm in keeping our homes valuable: the Architectural Review Board best known as “The ARB.” Chairperson, Marva Wallace said, “Our first goal is that we want to see that all resident’s houses stay within the guidelines set for adult communities. We try to do so in a neighborly and as kind a way as possible. This is done primarily to keep resale value high for our homes. Residents should be aware that an application must be made for any changes they want to make to the outside buildings or grounds.” [The guidelines mentioned are available at the clubhouse for your perusal.] Alphabetically, the Board members are: Phyllis Bickley; Catherine Ivory; Marion Jemison; Fran Kutner; Jack Lingo; Allan Mandelbaum; Virginia Morrow and Marva Wallace. Phyllis Bickley and her husband Carroll moved here in 2001. She went on ARB four or five years ago. She had been active at the First Baptist Church in Mt. Holly; she cut back because of his health issues. Carroll is a retired Baptist minister and is now home from rehab following surgery. Phyllis said, “I consider it a privilege to serve on the ARB and feel that, if possible, we all have a responsibility to help in the community.” Catherine Ivory and her husband, Harry, moved here in October ’87. She has been on the ARB about 10 years. Catherine volunteered twice a week at Larchmont School for 17 years and has been on the Social Committee here through the years. She is spouse to someone who has been dedicated to his job and a volunteer in the community, such as on HVCSA Board for 18 years [twice as president]. Of course, being Harry’s wife, automatically makes Catherine deserving of commendation. Moorestown and Maple Shade High Schools or Burlington County Vo Tech. Marion Jemison and John moved here in ’97 and she went on ARB in ’99. She had worked on our Neighborhood Watch and Social Committee while participating in Ceramics and Line Dancing. At Virtua Hospital in Marlton, Marion enjoyed being a volunteer at least five years. Originally; she made the deliveries, to patients rooms, later worked in the business office. Due to hip surgeries for her and John those activities have stopped. Prior to their move, she for 26 years was employed at Edmund Scientific Co. as a supervisor in accounting. Marion said, “My Honey and I will be married 60 years in November, most of our lives.” [Happy, Healthier Anniversary!] Virginia Morrow moved here in ’93 and has been on ARB about 14 years. Joining the same time as Marva, they co-chaired for two years. She volunteers on committees at First United Methodist Church in Collingswood and the Bible Study group; the Methodist Home in Collingswood, and the Salvation Army. A broken ankle in February has curtailed much of her activity. Virginia is looking forward to getting on with her life following rehab. Jack Lingo and his wife, Gail, moved here in ’88; he worked as an engineer manufacturing and installing flag poles and TV antennae. “I am the junior member of this committee almost a year” and is still working part time. Jack was in Kiwanis many years and is now active on several church committees. In the Air Force, he was a Jet Pilot and he’s a member of the National Architectural Metal Manufacturers Assn. Jack and Gail love to travel and, at one time, had a plane and a boat. He said it is a fine committee, and Marva is a great leader. Allan Mandelbaum and Myrna moved here in ’86, he has been on ARB seven years. He was on Neighborhood Watch three years prior to disbandment but continues his awareness for the neighborhood. He is a graduate of Drexel with an electrical engineering degree. Prior to this move, Allan was a technical sales engineer; in the Air Force, retiring as a staff sgt. and is a Korean War vet. Allan is in the Masonic Order and working as a substitute teacher at –9– Marva Wallace moved to Holiday Village in ’94; initially she was “Library Lady” and watered Clubhouse plants. In ’97, she joined ARB. Marva and Virginia co-chaired for two years, and Marva has been chair for the past 10. She was Pool chair for several years until 2010 and is now on the Clubhouse Décor committee. Marva also volunteers at the Collingswood First Methodist Church on several Committees: Education; Decorating; Staff Parish Relations and Bible Study. She is treasurer of her Sunday school class and active in the Collingswood Manor Auxiliary and the Saints Prison Ministry of Moorestown. Also she is an usher at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philly at each new performance. We are most thankful to this dedicated group of residents for volunteering their time, knowledge, and efforts in this worthy task. No community can remain as nice as ours without people to see that all maintain their property according to the guidelines. We are very fortunate to have them. The two words, “Thank You,” do not seem much, so we add God Bless each of you for your volunteerism! [Fran Kutner declined to be interviewed.] common gRoUnds committEE By Elise Magri Our new residents may be asking who the common grounds committee is and what purpose does it serve? To answer this question, we are a group of resident volunteers with a common goal, i.e. striving to keep Holiday Village a desirable place to live. The Common Grounds Committee is responsible for overseeing the maintenance of the common grounds at the gateway to the community, along with its open spaces (which distinguishes our community from many others) along with the lakes, islands and common grounds property backing up to the houses. By presenting an esthetically pleasing community, we help to protect your valuable investment in real estate by attracting people who are interested in the many features that we have to offer. Periodically, we’ll be sharing a little bit of history as to how Holiday Village came to look as it does today. This information has been passed on to us by those who helped to develop our community and who have been here from the start in the mid 1980’s, providing us with a wealth of knowledge, and who, in assisting us with our questions, prove to be valuable resources as well as valuable assets to the community. Names not included here to protect the humble! We will be sharing some of the specific projects that we are involved in that keep our community looking ship-shape and esthetically pleasing. We have many beautiful lakes and open spaces throughout our community and, as with anything, these areas must be maintained. It’s up to us to see that all projects entailing the upkeep and maintenance of these areas are done within a specific budget. This year, there are plans to remove some bushes from the islands and dead trees where necessary. We will also see to it that there will be a general cleanup of weeds around the lakes, along with fence repair/replacement. Occasionally and although not permitted, we have folks coming in from outside areas who may not be as careful as our residents are of these areas. The fences are there to keep the geese from flying into the lakes but can they cannot withstand the pressure from body weight. Just a reminder, residents are permitted to fish from our specifically appointed lakes but we do ask that residents make certain that they are in attendance with their guests. Our committee is made up of folks who are from all walks of life and we are fortunate in having two members on our committee who belong to the Mt. Laurel Garden Club and the Moorestown Garden Club. They bring much knowledge and hands on experience, with both clubs participating in many local community projects, as well as the Philadelphia Flower Show. Their clubs provide several outlets and educational programs for those interested in gardening. They select the seasonal plantings at our entrances, as well as at the Clubhouse. This year, our project will include planting begonias, a versatile plant with showy leaves, dusty miller, which grows well in most any soil and is deer resistant, as well as ageratum, grown for its flowers and used in beds and as a border and grows well in any soil from early summer to first frost. As a group, we are responsible for working in overseeing and working with our landscaping contractors to ensure that our lawns are professionally manicured with mowers adjusted to the correct blade height for each season. We also are responsible and work together to ensure that our snow is properly removed. We will be sharing information concerning the identity and roles of our individual members as we go along. Each individual brings forward the knowledge and support that keeps our committee functioning in an efficient fashion. We make ourselves available to our community to handle any problems that are encountered by the homeowner. The long and short of it is, we care and we take pride in our community and want to help to keep it looking good. As an aside to all this, do you know what the most popular American pastime is today? Also can you identify the hottest area in new home construction? If you guessed gardening and landscaping, you got both answers right. It’s a fact. More people will invest time and money in their front yards, as they are the first thing that attracts and welcomes people into their homes. As we go along, we hope to share some helpful seasonal gardening tips, such as tips on lawn maintenance as well as ideas for seasonal plantings and issues that you may encounter with your lawn or shrubs. Just a reminder: all plantings must be within the border of your property line and not infringing on the property of others or common grounds. If you’re unsure of this area, just contact our helpful community manager, Linda Schlindwein, who is a great resource for information and who can answer many questions about Holiday Village. We’ll start out with one of the simplest tips with summer coming and that is not to water just before dark. The high humidity in the air, and then the coolness of night, may bring problems caused by fungus growth. We’ll be going into this more, along with additional topics in our future articles. Until then, Happy Gardening! – 10 – oUR FEatUREd colUmnists A LITTLE OFF CENTER Typing this, as we sing, “Though April snow showers may come your way. They bring the flowers that bloom in May.” [Hope by the date of this column we’re out of our “Snuggies”…. I’m not!] What do you think it means when you start to awaken, thinking of spelling “labyrinth”? It happened to this old gal one morning at 6:30. What does one do when this happens? Naturally this one goes to write it down [I probably wouldn’t remember it later]. Then I had to check the dictionary, the definition “a maze” [I knew that] and yes, it was spelled correctly. Well, can’t leave it at that; of course have to click onto the computer because by now I’ve also remembered something to add to the column I was working on prior to bedtime. Can I shut this down and go back to bed, are you delusional? This happening has to be put into “A Little Off Center”. Oh, great here I am in my PJ’s, with no robe or slippers on, getting cold and it is 7:30. Do I stay up? No way – [Will I delete this when I return to it tomorrow? - No, I didn’t.] Had a call from a new lady resident, expressing her dislike of the listing of deaths of residents in this column. She said, “Being in my early 60’s it is depressing to read.” My response was that we have done this to avoid folks being upset if they meet a resident and ask “how is…” and hear “Oh he/she died”. I also said, “That after a loss, many feel that their loved one is ‘In a better place’, and want them to be remembered and to celebrate their life.” In addition, it helps our residents keep their Directory up to date. After hearing my explanation, she said, “I will have to stop reading your column.” Initially, I thought I would have a poll of residents; but I have decided this has been our satisfactory policy for years and will continue – as is! We will be glad to list birth dates of anyone who wants to tell their age and have it published. [Please see the article on the 103 year old Scottish lady!] [The sentence below, I had typed prior to the call mentioned above and I’m leaving it as is.] This is the paragraph we are reluctant to type although we feel it is By Peggie Stark important that you be informed of any resident who has passed away as follows: Philip Barbera, Jim Delany and Thelma Stone. Our sincere sympathy to Thelma’s husband, John, [Jim’s wife Mary died several years ago]. We will miss visiting our dear friend, Elva Love, who lived in a Facility until recently as well as another original owner, Joe Gabriel. We offer our sincere condolences to families, neighbors and friends of each of the deceased. A special note: Sylvia Axler has moved to the Westin we wish this great gal the best of health! Do you have watery and/or itchy eyes? [I do.] I read an article, in which several different doctors interviewed by Colleen Oakley suggested the following: “1. Add lime to your drinking water, lime contains more natural antihistamines that can help relieve allergy symptoms. 2. Dab a small amount of petroleum jelly just inside the opening of your nostrils, can help catch pollen. 3. Eat more salmon; the omega-3 fatty acids in fish and fish oil have anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce itchiness and swelling. 4. Increase your magnesium intake, research has found that this mineral relaxes airways, which helps ease congestion.” [I have been trying all of these.] Hope it works! Sorry to inform you that Ventura’s is now closed; changes happen quickly in business as well as the economy. Nicky DeMatteo will be entertaining on Wednesday evenings again at “Links Golf Club” in Kings Grant. This is a very spacious restaurant/bar 5 miles off of Route 73.

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change. - Barbara de Angelis – 11 – thE king’s English By Don Rosser I haven’t written a Book Report since I sat in Miss Kinsler’s English class at Brooklyn Technical H.S., but I have to tell you about THE HAPPY PIGS. The big thing is that Louisa, the main character, has a guilty secret . I will not reveal it; perhaps you can figure it out. Author Lucy Harkness is a Londoner, and the novel is written in The King’s English. The Book Report can wait while I explain some of the things you must know to understand this strange tongue. An automobile is a motorcar that sits on tyres, runs on petrol, and parks at the kerb. Its hood is the bonnet and its trunk is the boot. Above the dash, there’s a looking glass. Trucks are lorries. The steering wheel is on the right. A circus is a traffic circle, also called a roundabout. On bicycles, training wheels are stabilizers. Sneakers are trainers. Wrenches are spanners. Bars are pubs. To get beer, you order a pint or a half. Men go to the Gents, and women use the loo. If both sexes use it, it’s the lavatory. A cuppa means tea. A wash-up cleans the dishes. Mutts are mongrels and cats are tabbies. Cat food comes in tins. Human food, too. England has apartment houses but not apartments; housing units are flats. You enter at ground level and must climb stairs to reach the first floor. Higher levels are storeys. Elevation is by the lift. A parlor is a drawing room. Rail cars are carriages. A lineup is a queue. Subways are the underground. Mothers don’t have diapers or baby carriages, just nappies and prams. Residents have no trash but lots of rubbish. A teenage girl is a bird. Her panties are knickers . A jumper is a sweater. Policemen are constables, coppers, or bobbies. Bad people go to gaol. There’s no Sing Sing, but there is Old Bailey. Suicidal ledge walkers are waverers. Public Order is the Queen’s Peace. If you leave a lit cigarette on paper, it’s the fire brigade that comes. Your workplace is your patch. Spelling sometimes follows different rules. Words ending with ize in America conclude with ise in England (realise, recognise). Words ending in or in America use our in England ( colour, honour). Airplane is spelled aeroplane ; flying fields are aerodromes. The alphabet ends in zed. If a girl likes a boy, she fancies him. The ailing are never hospitalized; they are in hospital. Nurses are sisters. A regular fellow is a bloke. Just like American chaps, blokes talk football, but that’s their name for soccer, which they watch on the telly. If they have a fishing rod, they go angling. Back to Brooklyn Tech. Miss Kinsler ‘s claim to fame was that she wrote the lyrics for the school anthem, which begins: “Alma Mater Tech, may she live for aye.” I dislike that ugly line, but now I see that she was subtly introducing us to her beloved treasure, The King’s English. This reminds me that my Book Report is due, so here goes: A corrupt police official is found clubbed to death in a London alley. Higher-ups, believing that he was a rapist and drug dealer, know he deserved killing but must pretend to care. They reason that either: (1) the drug syndicate got him, or (2) a battered victim grabbed a handy metal pipe when he let go of her to unzip his fly. In a roundup of drug dealers, Bennie The Rat hangs himself in a holding cell; police declarel the case solved; and – despite her many bruises – secretive Louisa can’t stop laughing. ******************** spEcial holidaY villagE ladY By Peggie Stark How very fortunate this columnist feels to introduce you to this Scottish Lass, living in Holiday Village with her daughter Margaret. On May 18, Helen Gilfillan celebrated her 103rd birthday! Helen married William “Scotty” March 24, 1933 and had a son and daughter. The Gilfillan family were all born in Glasgow, Scotland. They moved to Canada in ’48,’ it was too cold, so came to USA in ’52,’ to Pennsauken, to HV in 2000. Margaret said they were so sorry not to have moved here prior to her Dad’s passing in ’98.’ “He would have loved Holiday Village.” Margaret said, “In 1939 when World War II broke out Dad joined the National Fire Service as a fireman fulltime. Mother (Helen) took on his job as an insurance agent, making collections once a week in tenement buildings with many flights of stairs. Much of her strength and good health are attributed to this exercise.” Helen’s son, two grandsons, and two great grandsons live in California. At this age, she is medically fit; her only disability is loss of hearing. [Won’t buy a hearing aid; “as soon as I do, I’ll die next day!”] Lady Helen, we say “Happy Birthday, hope it was Grand!” – 12 – Happy Father’s Day from the staff of the Villager READER’S CORNER BaCKSTage By Tommy Darro By Sandy Keiss Hi, to all my friends and neighbors, in and around the area of Holiday Village. I’m sure the winter season has left us as we enjoy spring and look forward to summer to stay for a few months. That’s what is on my mind as I hope you enjoy life no matter the weather! thE shadoW oF YoUR smilE by Mary Higgins Clark “A long-held family secret threatens to take the life of an unsuspecting heiress in the breathtaking new thriller from worldwide bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark.” (book jacket) This suspense-filled story is undoubtedly one of the author’s better novels of recent years. Clark utilizes her typical writing formula to captivate the readers and keep them immersed in the suspense. There is the usual protagonist - an independent, successful, beautiful, career woman, the thriller element with lots of suspects and sticky situations; and, of course, a romantic male interest. Add to these elements a long deceased nun now being considered for beatification by the Catholic Church, a cast of lesser characters with their own roles to play, and some devious people who will stop at nothing to protect the lifestyle that large sums of money has provided for them and you have the ingredients for an exciting read, one that will keep the reader turning pages until the very end. THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE opens with an elderly woman being told by her physician and long time friend that she has only a short time (perhaps weeks) to live. Olivia Morrow is resigned to her fate but troubled by a long held secret, a secret which if revealed will affect the lives of many people, particularly the life of Dr. Monica Farrell. Dr. Farrell is a much loved pediatrician who has been summoned by representatives of the Catholic Church to provide evidence of a cure of a child in her care, a cure attributed to the intercession of a now famous nun, a sort of Mother Teresa of the USA. These two women have never met; it is the “secret” that connects them and marks them for death. The Queen of Mystery, in her flawless style, connects the dots effectively in this, her twenty-ninth novel. She brings to life a character who struggles with the seeming conflicting concepts of religion and medical science, a character who struggles with the definition of what identity is and entails. Clark gives the reader a great traveling companion or pool-side friend. Hours will pass unnoticed as pages turn and the reader falls victim once again to Clark’s literary magic. I guess you are wondering, as I am, “who will replace Regis Philbin” when he steps down? He has been the host for many years of what is now the “Regis and Kelly Show.” I feel he is one of the best TV hosts. Also Kelly does a great job as his co-host – she needs him and he needs her.

Tuesday, June 14 Fly your flag with pride today. Never forget what it stands for and the many who have given their lives in protecting our freedom. Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. ~ Japanese Proverb – 13 – Fish talEs By Mariann Hornlein TRIP TO WILLIAMSBURG cont. The third day of our cruise started at the Great Wicomico Creek and ended at Gloucester Marina on the York River, directly across from Yorktown. The entire trip was smooth without any memorable events. The fourth day, and the last day of the trip to Williamsburg, was the complete opposite! The sun was rising as we left the marina. As soon as we entered the York River channel I put up the sails and started to go below. Suddenly, I heard a noise by the side of the boat and looked overboard. We were surrounded by porpoises! I had no idea these beautiful creatures came this far up the bay, but there they were. Enthralled, we watched for over 45 minutes as the 12 or more porpoises cavorted in the waves, jumping and playing all around our boat. Some would swim far in front, then turn and race towards the boat, separating as they approached and sweeping by the sides. Others would fall behind and use our wake as a playground. They stayed with us until we reached the buoys leading south and turned towards Thimble Shoals Light, marking the entrance to the James River. As the hours passed, the wind grew stronger, causing whitecaps to dance on the waves. It finally grew so strong that we rolled in the jib and, as I took the wheel, Eddie lowered the main, flaking (folding) it onto the boom and securing it tightly in place. We ate lunch and watched the ships enter and leave the distant entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. We rounded Thimble Shoals Light and came up on Fort Monroe. Ahead, the James River was alive with ships. Cargo ships loading coal gave way to the Newport News Shipyard on our right. A submarine was coming out of Norfolk Naval Base on our left, and naval vessels were docked along the shore. Ahead, work boats were busy helping to build the new tunnel that would become Route 664. In the distance the James River Bridge framed the river. A dark wedge of cloud appeared over Newport News, racing towards us. Eddie whistled under his breath and asked me to go below and get the rain gear and life preservers and check to make sure everything was locked up tight. I handed him his gear, put on mine, checked the hatches and made sure everything was put away. I went back on deck to a different world. The sun had vanished, the work boats were racing towards their dock in Norfolk, and the sky had turned a sickly yellow green. Eddie had placed the boat some thirty feet away from a buoy. Suddenly, rain swept in and the wind picked up. Ed braced himself behind the wheel, I against the cabin, and the rain became horizontal! I heard a roar off to our right (I later learned that it was a tornado) and the bow began to rise in the air, and then fall with a crash, over and over for 45 minutes. I was never so scared in my life! I muttered prayers to myself and was extremely thankful we had an ocean-going boat instead of the flimsily-made lake sailboats. One of them would have been shaken apart by the violence. Every time the boat crashed down, great sprays of water shot out on each side. Once, the wind shifted unexpectedly and the bow moved just enough for a huge wave to wash over the cabin, landing right on my head. We were both well protected by our raingear, which included trousers as well as jackets and hats, so I really didn’t get wet, only surprised! Finally, the rain slowed and turned into a fine mist. The work boats appeared, and one came directly towards us. It circled our sailboat, waved at Ed, and then joined its fellows back at work. I opened the main companionway and went into the cabin. There wasn’t a drop of water to be seen and except for one lone cushion, everything was in place. I took the wheel so Eddie could go below and relax a bit. When we approached the James River Bridge some time later, the attendant on duty called Ed on the radio and congratulated him on “one fine bit of seamanship.” Eddie came on deck with a huge grin on his face. A few miles above the bridge, large gray shapes began to appear through the gray mist. Ships-anchored warships; we were sailing through the Reserve Fleet, vessels from previous wars waiting silently to be recommissioned in case of need. As we moved through the 60 anchored ships, there was not a sound to be heard. I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up and chills run down my spine. You could almost hear the shouts of men and the sound of bullets. It was like sailing through a cathedral and a cemetery at the same time. About an hour later, the sun came out and we could see the entrance to Kingsmill Marina, our destination. Both of us were looking forward to going ashore and a long, hot shower, a filling meal, and a good night’s sleep. What a roller-coaster day: the exhilaration of the porpoises followed by the terror of the storm and then the ghostly silence of the great ships. This was a day neither one of us would ever forget. If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea..." - Antoine de Saint Exupery – 14 – Around the house with Shirley Solton New Jersey has been extremely fortunate, weather wise, as we actually had springtime. The temperature was perfect, the flowers and trees bloomed beautifully, and we could sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Yes, we were lucky in comparison to other parts of the country. After spring comes summer and thoughts of keeping cool, how about some cool desserts that aren't time consuming but extra delicious? Here are a few to get you started. From Renee Dorst: 1 ready made graham pie shell or flavor of your choice 1 - 8 oz. container of thawed Cool Whip 2 - 8 oz. containers of fruit yogurt (flavor of your choice) 1 cup chopped fruit-optional Mix cool whip and yogurt until smooth. Fold in fruit, save a few pieces for garnishing. Pour into pie crust. Cover with Saran, freeze four hours, and take out 20 minutes before serving. It’s no-bake and a refreshing dessert for summer months. You can do endless combinations with crust, yogurt flavors and fruit. When Renee told me about this recipe, it brought back memories of a dessert I used to make with Jell-O, ice cream and fruit. It had a special name, but I couldn't remember it. It prompted me to take out some recipe boxes to find it. I finally found it on the internet, but I had a wonderful time going through my old files and seeing recipes from friends no longer with us, recipes I cut from newspapers that still had the dates printed at the top- 1972 and 1974, yellowed with age, but used many times. Try it some time; going back 40 or 50 years brings back some lovely memories of good times with old friends. Well, the pie was called parfait pies and simple to make and simply delicious. A pie crust, baked or prepared crust 1 small package Jell-O, your choice of flavor 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened 1 1/4 c. boiling water 1 c. cut up fruit. Pour boiling water to dissolve Jell-O in a bowl, cool slightly. Stir in ice cream until all mixed in. Add fruit and when cool pour into prepared shell and chill. You can add some dollops of whipped cream on top when serving. I made it w/strawberry Jell-O and sliced strawberries, you can mix in anything you like or change flavors. If you have any favorites, please send them to me, either write or call me. I'm in the Villager directory. Enjoy each day! Remember the Food Bank and the box for the servicemen and women for items to make their stay a little more comfortable. Thank you for your continued support. It's the least we can do.
