A subject I have been hearing a lot
about lately concerns leaks in different
clusters and units around Ocean Village.
As the properties age, everything else
relating to the interior and exterior of the
units age as well and require preventative
maintenance. Most of the leaks concerning the condominium clusters originate
from the toilets, supply lines, air conditioners, windows, and shower pans. A
good start to a preventative maintenance
program would be to check anything
related to the above mentioned areas in
your units and make sure the normal
wear and tear on these items are
addressed on a routine schedule. As far
as other preventative measures, the best
one is to make sure you turn the water off
to your unit if you are planning on being
absent for a substantial period of time.
A little more expensive, but available,
are leak detection systems and air condi-
tioning and hot water heater pan alarms.
Other preventative measures would
include having a neighbor or professional service check your unit on a scheduled
basis if you are planning on being away
for a long period.
Should a situation ever take place
regarding a leak in a unit, it is imperative
that the source of the leak be addressed;
the condominium associations have a
legal right and obligation as per
Condominium Law to access the unit to
stop the leak to prevent further damage
to both the unit in which the leak originates from, as well as the adjoining surrounding units. You are urged to provide
your Association with a key to your unit
should the situation require entry in order
to stop the leak for reasons previously
mentioned.
In the unfortunate instance of a leak,
you are urged to take immediate action to
Postal pointers
WELCOME! to all of our returning seasonal
residents and also to our new owners and first
time visitors. I hope you all have an enjoyable
stay here at Ocean Village.
Initiating the forwarding of your mail
1. Please be advised that the U.S. Postal
Service provides "free" forwarding of your First
Class mail up to 12 months, and magazines for up
to 60 days. To take advantage of this service a PS
Form 3575 (Change of Address) can be mailed or
done online. It should be submitted to the post
office at least 14 days prior to departure in case further clarification is needed. This form may be
obtained from any post office or your letter carrier.
Don’t forget to sign the form.
Use a PS Form 3575 (COA) whether you will
be permanently or temporarily away (less than 12
mos.). After 13 days, without notification of your
intentions, we regretfully have to return your
mail to sender. A temporary forward is good for
6 months and can be extended for another 6
months, not to exceed one year. Quite often the
temporary forward expires, but the customer
doesn't return as planned and after 13 days I'm
required to return the mail to sender as
"Forwarding Order Expired" or as “Unclaimed”.
Canceling the forwarding and
resuming delivery of your mail
Upon arrival at Ocean Village, please notify
Norm Spector
General Manager
From your letter carrier, Ed Schmidt
the Orange Ave. Station Post Office providing
complete name, address (including Unit #) and
arrival date if notifying in advance. Address:
1717 Orange Ave., Ft. Pierce FL 34950-9998. If
you arrive and find a green "VACANT" card in
your mailbox, call (772) 460-0835.
Proper addressing of your mail
With the arrival of automation and computers,
about half of your mail is automated and the
postal service is making an effort to simplify and
minimize unnecessary information in mailing
addresses. Everyone's address at OV should
appear as: 2400 S. Ocean Dr. Apt. #_____, Ft.
Pierce FL 34949
The only parts of the address which will vary
is the apt. numbers and the individual Zip + 4
Codes. The apt. number should not include anything but the apt. number. Cluster name will only
add possible confusion and delay of your mail!
Correct your checks, return address labels, stationery, etc. to reflect a proper address. Zip + 4
information can be obtained from any post office
or online.
The only clusters that DO require some clarification are: Ocean Villas (V), Coral (C), Capstan
(C) The three cluster areas listed above should
use the "V" or "C" preceding the Apt. Number,
i.e., V-127 or C-1324. The reason for the prefix
letters in these three clusters is that there are
duplicate apt. numbers. All other areas of OV

address the leak, report the leak to your
insurance company and remedy the damaged area to prevent mold situations
from happening. Make sure steps are
taken to completely extract and dry out
the damaged areas as quickly as possible
to limit secondary damages. Rather than
try to figure out who is responsible for
the damage, allow the insurance companies to work it out between themselves
according to the Florida Statutes that
govern the situations. Don’t waste precious time haggling over responsibility
for the damage when the priority is
obtaining control of the situation and
clean up.
Check with your individual cluster if
you have any questions regarding maintenance responsibility of any portion of
your unit or building!
need no prefix to their apt. numbers. Please
remember, the proper addressing of your mail not
only helps us provide a more efficient service to
you but will also aid in the speedy forwarding of
your mail after your departure.
Holding your mail
To initiate the holding of your mail, please fill
out and sign a PS Form 8076 “Authorization to
Hold Mail” or a signed note is sufficient specifying start date and resume date, or pick up for a
maximum of 30 days. These forms are also available from any Post Office or your letter carrier.
Outgoing mail
Should be deposited in approved collection
boxes. There are five courtesy collection boxes
on the property in addition to the outgoing mail
slots on each of the pedestal/freestanding boxes.
In the course of making my daily rounds, naturally I’ll be glad to pick up any outgoing mail
that I see, but to be safe, I recommend using the
collection boxes. Please ensure that your mailboxes are locked at all times. As per postal regulations, I’m not permitted to leave mail in an
unlocked box. Contrary to popular belief, I do
not have a key to the individual boxes.

MY STUFF
Decisions, decisions
Is there ever a day when we have no
decisions to make? I don’t think so.
Whether one has to make serious choices affecting important aspects of life,
health, finances or relationships, or simply a choice about food, exercise or
whether to play or not to play, participate or not participate in an activity, we
must indeed make some decision.
For some of us, deciding whether or
when to get out of bed in the morning
can have a big effect on the rest of our
day. Personally, I love to linger under
the blankets for as long as I can.
Fortunately my husband does too, and
some of our most constructive and fun
conversations occur then.
He often likes to wake up singing, and
we joke about who can best remember
all the lyrics. Most recently he began to
sing, “I know a little bit about a lot of
things...” That led to a discussion
about being a “jack of all trades and
master of none.” And that led to thinking about, “What do I want to be when
I grow up?”
Remember when that question
loomed large over us? As children, most
of us changed our minds on a whim.
Boys seemed to want to be policemen,
firemen, pilots, construction workers,
ambulance drivers ...usually involving
speed or bravery of some kind. All were
worthy choices destined to make the
world a safer place. Those with specific
athletic ability and a competitive streak
might have aspired to become major
league ball players, perhaps, or Olympic
swimmers or skiers.
In today’s world, when gender roles
are no longer rigidly defined, women
can be anything they want to be. At one
time we mostly wanted to make the
world a better place by being nurses or
teachers. For me, and probably many
women of my generation, our choices
were limited. Yet there are outstanding
females whose decisions were made
“outside of the box,” so to speak. They
have gone on to become physicists, corporate CEO’s, physicians or astronauts.
It would be interesting to know if the
construction workers along the highway
always wanted to build roads like they
used to when they played in the sandbox
or on a dirt pile in the backyard. And I
wonder if the roofers on top of tall
buildings got their inspiration when
they were young and building skyscrapers with their blocks.
I have always been in awe of those
individuals who, from an early age,
knew what they wanted to be and stuck
with it. Some people seem to just fall
into their life’s work, possessing innate
talent and desire. Musicians, painters,
artists of all sorts are in that category.
2014 OV Book Club
If you love to read and enjoy sharing your
reading experience with other book lovers,
join us for one or more of our winter book
club meetings. We meet on the third
Monday of each month in the Aruba Center
from 1-3 PM. All OV residents are welcome, whether owners, renters, or guests.
There’s no need to sign up. Just come and
join us for one or more of our book discussions.
Our first meeting is on Monday, Feb. 17.
Our selection for this month is “And the
Mountains Echoed,” by Khaled Hosseini.
In this novel, the author, who also wrote
“The Kite Runner” and “A Thousand
Splendid Suns”, speaks to how we love,
take care of one another, and how those
choices resonate through generations.
Hosseini explores the many ways in which
families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and
sacrifice for one another; and how often we
are surprised by the actions of those closest
to us, at the times that matter most. The
story follows its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices around the
globe —from Kabul to Paris to San
Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos.
We’ll also be selecting books for our
remaining meetings on Monday, March 17
and Monday, April 21, so please bring your
suggestions from the books on your reading
wish list, as well as, those you’ve already
read and enjoyed.

They may study hard at their trade but
never waiver from what they know they
are meant to do. Others obviously have
to decide to be what they turn out to be,
making decisions that may seem bold or
daunting. Sometimes decisions seem to
be providentially made for us. Being in
the right place at the right time, for
example, may preclude the need to
make a conscious decision. Such a turn
of events may alter one’s path forever
without having to actually make a
choice.
Academic experiences obviously play
a role in choosing a path in the employment world, although not always.
Lawyers often leave their profession to
become authors, for example, or investment advisors or even chefs. I recently
learned about an anthropologist who
found his life’s work as a professional
juggler! There is nothing wrong with
changing one’s mind, and it is interesting to talk with those who have veered
dramatically from earlier decisions.
Life is really a smorgasbord
of tempting opportunities. Too many
options, however, can create dilemmas
in making decisions. Years ago I took
my children to an Automat in New York
City for breakfast. It was a restaurant
that contained hundreds of little glass
cubicles containing all sorts of food. I
gave each child some quarters to use to
open the doors to the food of their

endless decisions to

them and it took
them a long time to
decide. One opted for something sensible, like meatloaf. Another decided
upon jello with fruit. The youngest went
for chocolate brownies. There were no
complaints. Everyone was happy with
their decision. Breakfast couldn’t have
been better, but it took them a long time
to decide what to have. Recently, at an
all-you-can-eat buffet at a local restaurant, we were overwhelmed with the
myriad of choices. Too many.
Now at an advanced age, we perhaps
have fewer choices as to what we want
to be. Some of us are indeed "jacks of
all trades.” Competent in many skills,
but not necessarily outstanding in any
particular one. Actually that’s not all
bad. Not everyone can be an expert. To
be good but not great is okay.
But still, I wish I had decided to practice the piano more instead of going outside to play.

CHANGE YOUR WATER....CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
Greetings to everyone from all of us
here at Southpointe. It seems like we
are still recovering from the holidays
but we are well into the New Year.
Many of us at Ocean Village are
enjoying family and friends visiting
us and enjoying all the wonderful
things we love to do here in our paradise. The weather has been great, the
ocean beautiful, and all the activities
we have here are in full use. The golf
course is busy, the pools are full, the
tennis courts are active, the beach is
filled with walkers and sun bathers
and our streets have walkers and bikers. What more could you want?
Our small neighborhood is looking
good with new palm trees and flowers
everywhere. We have new neighbors
on Southpointe Dr. Jeanne and Scott
Worden have moved in next door to us
and we are so pleased to have them as
part of our neighborhood. Mike and
Rose Sikinius are our good neighbors
on our other side next door and, this
year, they are our partners in Bocce,
which is great fun. We have just
learned that they are moving but just
down the block so they will still be
Southpointers. The Hardings, Vicky
and Jim, our back door neighbors,
are back here for the season and we
see them enjoying the Aruba pool and
out walking their dog. Chris and
Austin Eriksson have a new puppy
named Hutch after a friend of Austins.
Chris unfortunately tripped over him
and suffered a broken leg. She was
in the hospital and then moved to a
nursing home where she is, as I write.
Austin says she is doing well and
should be home soon. Katie Santomartino is helping us all out by giving
suggestions, when asked, about flowers, landscaping, etc. Many others in
our neighborhood are out and about
in this wonderful weather.
We had a lovely ladies’ luncheon at
the Pelican Yacht Club overlooking
the Inlet. The food, chicken or shrimp
salad with all the fixings, was delicious and the atmosphere at the yacht
club was lovely. Our thanks to
Marilyn Miller for making the
arangements. Marilyn looks great and
was her usual warm and gracious self.
She asked us all to tell where we were
from and as you might expect, there
were many different areas but the preponderance was from the East coast
states. There were also questions
about people's ages and I won (if you
can call it that) as the oldest. I shared
a table and good conversation with
Marioli Torrico, Dorothy McDermott,
Nina Arrowsmith and Vicky Harding;
there is a picture of us in this months’
Seaword. There were 19 of the
Southpointe ladies there for lunch and
it was good to get together.
We had our Annual Southpointe
Homeowners Association meeting on
Friday, Jan. 24 with our Board, Peter
Bennett, Jim Harding, and Fanny
Blumenthal. They have been good
officers for us and we thank them for
their good work.

More lessons for seniors
I found myself lying on my back, in
the handicap ramp of our OV parking
lot, looking up. My wife, Ann, was
lying on top of me. Neither of us could
move. There I was, face up, looking at
our neighbor Fred Gifford. Fred’s
expression was one of astonishment.
I smiled and waved as though we did
this all the time. Fred later admitted
thinking; “Why don’t they get a room!
Aren’t they a little old for making out
in the parking lot?” But there’s more
to the story.
On Dec. 5, I tripped over the gas
hose while fueling our car and handing
my sunglasses to Ann for cleaning. It
was one of those stupid falls whereby
you can’t believe you could have broken a bone. We were on our way to
Tallahassee to watch our grandson
perform with the Florida State
Marching Band. My son, who is in the
medical field, insisted I have Xrays of
my foot. Two broken bones were discovered.
The hospital put my foot in a
removable boot and gave me crutches
on which to move about. I was NOT
safe on crutches. I took one step forward and two back to try to regain my
balance. With help, we were able to
watch the concert. Ann could see I was

We’ve moved to a new location!!! 104 N. 2nd St., Historic Downtown Ft. Pierce
in peril on the crutches and wanted
something on which she could transport me. She purchased a walker with
a seat. The 18 year old clerk assured
her it was a transporter, combining a
walker and wheel chair. Of course,
there was no need to read the instructions. It worked great for the weekend
in the house. It didn’t work great on
Monday going down the handicap
ramp. It folded up, dropping me flat on
my back, and then Ann tumbled on top
of me. I can only imagine the view
from the 3rd floor.
After Fred recovered from seeing
this unfold, he and his wife Sue
Pendleton came to our rescue. They
got us up, got me in the car, and put an
ice pack on Ann’s now swollen ankle.
Fred graciously drove me to dialysis
and took Ann to obtain a wheelchair.
I didn’t seem to be safe in anything
else. As we write this, I am now able
to walk with a boot and crutches.
Freedom at last! You will see me
rehabbing in the pool and limping happily about Ocean Village. Looking up
from a wheelchair puts a whole new
prospective on people and places.
There are three lessons to be learned
from this. The first one is to never step
over anything very high, especially
while multitasking. We don’t get our
feet or legs as high as we once could.
Actually, we wrote of this situation in
Seaword
5
our book on aging.
I should have taken
my own advice.
Another lesson is to
read instructions.
Ann read on the
device to not use it
as a wheelchair.
She read it the day Eric Naegler and
after we verified this Ann Naegler
Cat II
was fact. READ
THE INSTRUCTIONS, STUPID! The third is how
important our Ocean Village friends
and neighbors are to us. Not only our
friends Fred and Sue, but there are
countless people who have held doors,
pushed me around, and been extremely caring and nice to us.
I was recently involved in the
Americans with Disabilities “walk
through” with the POA attorney. I
have now experienced the following
from the “chair.” We have eaten in the
restaurant, sat poolside at the Beach
club and Aruba pools, and dined at the
Tiki bar. We attended functions at the
Aruba and OV Clubhouses. There has
been a huge amount of caring, help,
and support from all these places.
Ann and I both want to express thanks
to the many caring people at Ocean
Village. I don’t wish any harm to anyone; however, if it is going to happen,
what a great place to recover.

The Nibble Report
Dear readers...from time to time our
surf fishing gets a little on the quiet
side...especially when it's "forty" out
there with a 20 mph north wind.
Both Boomer and I will try to keep
you amused with some added humor,
if we can, and perhaps some interesting added facets that are part of our
wonderful Ocean Village experience.
Just this morning we got word that
one of Boomer's best friends, "Misty
Blue," a 12-year-old Yellow Lab,
passed away earlier today. Misty was
the mother of our previous boy, Black
Lab..."Barney Waggles"...who suddenly died of a heart attack at the age
of five...about four years ago.
Needless to say, it is so sad!
I do want to talk about something
GREAT! We have a returning owner,
now a renter who came back this year
out of the grace of God! Harry North
was given about two months to live
with cancer last year. He sold his
condo in three weeks and was given a
sad "Going Away Party." None of us
expected to ever see him again! This
year Harry showed up in his NEW
2014 Chevy Silverado...with a "full
head of hair" and with his lovely wife
Joan...both, all smiles!
So, the morale of this story...Don't
ever count anyone out...believe in the
power of prayer...and remember we
really don't ever OWN anything...we
are all just "short term" renters in the
big scheme of things...
Remember...just catch 'em!

Golf Lodges at Southpointe
January passed so quickly, one
would think this year skipped a
month. Yet when we look at all the
happenings in the Golf Lodges, we
realize the month flew by because we
were busy greeting returning owners,
renters, and new owners.
Our hospitality committee members have been making welcome calls
on Golf Lodges renters. They were
pleased to greet returning couples,
Judy and Doug Smith, Nancy and
Lloyd Sayles, Vic and Myrna
Sguigna, and Shirley and Neil
Collins. All four couples jumped
right in and are enjoying the many
offerings at Ocean Village.
Among several new owners to be
introduced this season are Jan Woods
and her daughter, Christie. While
originally from New Jersey, Jan has
been a long time resident of Coral
Springs, where she recently retired
from teaching children with learning
disabilities. Jan is enjoying her weekends in #802, along with John, whom
she met at her 50th class reunion in
N.J. a few years ago. They hadn’t
known each other in school, but when
they connected they discovered they
were living 15 minutes from each
other in South Florida. They have
been together ever since. Daughter
Christie resides in Tampa and is
engaged to be married this fall.
The folks in #106 are new to the
Golf Lodges, but not to OV. Lynn
Belena is Peggy Gilbert’s daughter
and now that her mom is nicely settled into her Seascape unit, Lynn and
her husband, Dick, have transitioned
from their Golf Villa to the larger
Golf Lodge. Dick has retired and
Lynn is close to completing her
beloved work teaching children in the
very early grades.
Mid-month almost two dozen owners met at the Elliott Museum for a
scheduled docent’s tour. The men and
women alike gazed in amazement at
the collection of antique cars and the
“Wheels of Change”— with computerized equipment that selects and displays cars on demand. The refurbished 1931, Ford Model AA school
bus cried out for the group to climb
aboard and revisit their youth. One
could tell who of the men had likely
given the bus driver trouble all those
years ago. Sated with information on
art, history and technology, the group
met up again at the Dolphin restaurant for lunch and camaraderie.
The annual meeting of the Golf
Lodges brought many of our owners
together with an opportunity to
review and rejoice over the “State of
the Association” and greet the offi-
cers for the coming fiscal year: Don
Buchheim, president; Barbara Burns,
vice president; Lois Patton, secretary;
and Joe Hogan, director at large.
Michael Lattof, who will serve as
treasurer, was in Massachusetts
recovering from surgery. We are all
eager for him and Brenda to return
later this spring.
Following the meeting, Golf
Lodges owners were joined by
renters, guests, and Golf Lodges
North friends for a social gathering at
the Ocean Village Clubhouse. These
monthly gatherings, normally on a
Sunday evening — but not on the day
of the Super Bowl — are looked forward to and always well attended.
Owners took the occasion as an
opportunity to express their appreciation to last year’s Board members and
congratulate them on a job well done.
Annette Sanniota also received accolades for her outstanding service as
Property Manager.
February is a shorter month. Pay
attention; don’t blink. It will be gone
before we know it.

Beachtree II happenings
It looks like we have a full complement of owners and guests back for
another season. Welcome back everyone. We have experienced the coldest
January in a very long time. Felt good
for a while and then we all got tired of
wearing long pants, sweaters and having to turn the furnace on. Yuck! But it
is far better than the bitter cold the rest
of the country is experiencing.
We had the opportunity to witness
first hand the 100 year rain of 11.5
inches in about six hours. Lakes and
lagoons overflowed and streets were
flooded. Our decks were under a few
inches of water, but after two days the
water had receded and left quite a mess
in parking lots and roadways. Thanks to
the POA who had our roads and parking
lots cleaned and swept for us with special thanks to our property manager,
Norman Spector, who scheduled this for
the benefit of all of Ocean Village. We
are now dry and clean again.
The Annual Meeting of the
Beachtree II Association was held on
Monday Jan.27 in the Aruba Center.
The Board of Directors was dismayed
to find that only 29 owners had submitted their proxies. We needed 32
proxies to make it an official meeting.
This is the third year in a row that our
owners have disregarded their duty to
submit their proxies either by mail or
in person at the meeting. It is important since that does NOT allow us to
conduct any official business. We had
even included a stamped addressed
envelope for owners to use. There was
no election of officers and the Board
will remain the same as last year.
We did have a general meeting.
Annette Sanniota, our property manager, gave the yearly report. We have
accomplished much during 2013,
including new soffit and fascia on two
buildings with the rest to be done in
late spring. We have landscaped the
front of the 6400 building, mulched
most of the property, and we are
improving the irrigation sprinkler
heads building by building. We
reviewed the document portion that
deals with windows, exterior doors
and screens. The Association is
responsible for the maintenance and
repair and replacement of exterior
doors, screens and windows. Windows
will be replaced only if broken. We
will re-caulk if loose or leaking
around the frames. Sliding glass doors
are the responsibility of the unit
owner.
President Joan Smith assigned Jim
Seymour, Kay Snodgrass and Gary
Fry as a committee to review the rules
and regulations for the cluster. We
have a rental agreement which very
few of our owners submit if they have
rented their unit. This agreement is for
both the protection of the owner and
the renter. Forms are available on the
OceanVillage.com website. We have
found out that the water and sewage
disposal supplied to the 6200 and
6400 buildings is being paid for as
part of the Bermuda Center bill. We
will come to an agreement with the
POA to pay our appropriate portion of
the bill. Ed Fish gave the year-end
financial report saying we are in good
financial position. We have adequate
reserves as we will be taking on more
capital improvement projects in the
upcoming months. He feels that the
added water and sewage billing will
not cause any financial shortfall.
After the audit, any profit from 2013
will be placed into reserves for our
ongoing improvements.
We discussed the internet situation.
Most of us are displeased with the
internet service provided by AM3.
Please call AM3 each time you cannot
get on to the internet. They will only
address our problems after they have
so many calls of drops of service. Our
only other option is to go to outside
service, which will be an additional
cost to the individual homeowner. Our
contract expires in 2017.
Joan announced a recent BOD decision to purchase a bench to be placed
outside the 6400 building where the
palm will be removed. It will be dedicated to Audrey Napp, long time resident, board member and president and
mentor to all. If you would like to contribute, please do so to Kay Snodgrass
in 6445.
Our next meeting is Feb. 25 at 10
AM at the Aruba Center.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Joan M. Smith

Save the chimps
Ever wonder what happens to all
those tennis balls that finally lose their
bounce on our Ocean Village tennis
courts? Our OV tennis pro, Emile
deCuba, boxed up 3,000 of them and
Duane Fensel, our building maintenance supervisor, arranged for volunteers at Save the Chimps Sanctuary to
transport them to the sanctuary for a
new purpose.
Ocean Village was given a loud chimpanzee Pant-Hoot on the www.savethechimps.org website. There are pictures of the boxes of tennis balls and the
chimps using them for one of their
favorite activities – finding and eating
the sunflower seeds stuffed in the balls.
Save the Chimps is the world’s
largest chimpanzee sanctuary and is
located on 150 acres in St. Lucie
County. It is home to 261 chimpanzees and its mission is to provide
and build support for permanent sanctuary for the lifelong care of chimpanzees rescued from re-search laboratories, entertainment and the pet
trade. If you would like more information and see the fun the chimps had
with the donated tennis balls from
Ocean Village, check out www.savethechimps.org.

Hawke publishes novel
A resident of Golf Lodges at
Southpointe and an active member of the
Ocean Village writers group, Margaret
Hawke used to write for a living but now
does it for fun.
For many years, she was a contributing writer for Nursing Spec-trum, a syndicated magazine for nurses. A graduate
of St. Francis Hospital School of Nursing
in Trenton, N.J., Margaret returned to
school after raising her family of four
daughters, and at age 40 received her
BSN from the College of New Jersey in
Lawrenceville. Subsequently, she earned
a Master’s degree in counseling with an
emphasis on gerontology.
Her debut novel, Bellehaven, published in 2013, was inspired by her career
in eldercare, first as a staff nurse and later
as Director of Nursing at a 190 bed nursing facility. Margaret also drew upon
societal changes in the l960s and her own
childhood experiences. She describes her
book as a mixture of reality and fiction,
an exploration of what it’s like to live a
long life and how generations relate and
support one another.
Bellehaven is a beautifully written
story set in the 1960s. The title is the
name of a fictional nursing home nestled
deep in the pine lands of New Jersey. The
book’s main character, Kate, is a retired
nurse who must find a position to support
her family after her husband loses his
commercial fishing boat off Atlantic
City. While Kate struggles to improve
the quality of care at Bellehaven, she
must deal with tensions at home and her
husband’s resentment of their changing
roles.
The New Jersey setting was a natural
one for Margaret who has lived on Long
Beach Island for many years. She and
husband, Bill, are now new owners at
Golf Lodges and plan to move here permanently next summer. She is currently
working on two novels, a mystery
involving nursing and another she calls
“women’s fiction,” a relationship story.
Bellehaven was written with reading
groups in mind and contains questions
for group discussion. Copies may be
purchased on Amazon.com as a book or
in electronic form for Kindle, or by calling Margaret directly at 468-9041.

Tennis news
Tennis in Ocean Village has really taken off and we believe that the
many activities planned by the tennis
committee will be enjoyable and
rewarding. The daily Round Robin
has been well attended, as have the
social activities.
In January we held the Nostalgia
Round Robin and Social Hour.
Participants were urged to dress in
period tennis clothes, and Emile collected old wooden racquets for the
players to use. Lighter balls were
also used. Emile, Charis Melillo and
Phil MacAllister did the pairings.
Players switched after four games
and seven rounds were completed.
Twenty signed up to play and then
enjoyed a social hour which included sandwiches, wraps, veggies and
homemade chili with assorted chips.
The winners, Diana Burban and
Andrew Stephen, each received a
$10 gift certificate to The Inn.
The next social event, Valentine's
Round Robin, will be held on Feb. 8.
In the planning stage is the Annual
Treasure Coast Hospice Pro Am
Tournament to be held on Feb. 22
and 23. This tournament is always a
great opportunity for Ocean Village
residents to come over to the courts
to witness pros playing and to cheer
amateur participants paired with the
Seaword
pros. The women play Saturday at
9:30 AM and the men play Sumdau
at 9:30 AM. On Saturday at 1 PM,
the pro play-offs are held. This is
always a pleasure to watch.
The Annual Clothing Sale, 50/50
tickets, a raffle for a new bike and
the food vendor booth will be in
operation. This event is open to all
tennis players. Sign-up is at the Golf
and Tennis shack. The entry fee is
$75 per player. In addition, an Ocean
Village campaign to support the
good works Hospice provides to
those in need will take place. All
proceeds from this event are donated
to Treasure Coast Hospice.

Bocce news
The 2014 winter bocce league is
underway. The season began on a
cool and breezy Monday morning,
Jan. 13. The players didn’t mind;
they were ready to get going after a
long summer break. The day began
at the Tiki at 8:30 AM sharing coffee with the starting teams and the
bocce committee. (See the picture).
Hard to believe the league just
began and already we are a third of
the way through our nine-week
season.
We want to thank the Board of
Directors and the staff for approving and installing sunshades on the
two main courts. While the benefit
of the shades is not yet well appreciated because the sun is so low in
the southern sky, the shade will be
sought as the sun moves overhead
in the next few weeks and during
the summer.
This year, we have 46 teams and
14 substitutes (a total of 198) players competing. This is just about
the same number of players as last
year but no where near the number
of players we had before the 2004
hurricanes when there were about
400 playing. After the hurricanes,
many of our players left Ocean
Village and did not return.
Later in February, the Bocce
committee will sponsor several free
lessons to teach the rules and techniques of playing bocce (dates and
times will be posted on bulletin
boards and on Channel 63). If you
have thought it might be fun to play
but felt uncomfortable playing with
“veterans”, this is your chance to
learn to play with others who, like
yourself, have also not played.
After a short and fun experience,
you will say, “I can do this.”
Hopefully, we will have many new
players join the league next year
for fall and winter bocce.
On Saturday, Feb. 15 at 9 AM,
we will again sponsor our OV
Special Olympics when visitors
from the St. Lucie County Special
Olympics will join us to compete in
bocce, shuffleboard, golf putting
and basketball followed by a pizza
lunch. This is a highlight of the
year for these special athletes.
Come, join us as a volunteer or just
come to cheer and encourage the
participants.
Keep the following dates free
on your calendar: League ends on
Thursday, March 13, followed by
the championship playoffs on the
14th through the 19th (the schedule
will be posted);
Championship luncheon at noon
on Thursday, March 23.
Remember, as I always say,
“Bocce is just a game; it isn’t life.
Enjoy, have fun, and make it fun
for others. Meet old friends and
make new friends.”

POA UPDATE
REGULAR MONTHLY WORKSHOP
POA BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Monday, Jan. 20, 2014
President Ted Crowley called the workshop to
order in the Aruba Center at 2 P.M. All Directors
were present. General Manager Norm Spector and
Assistant Manager Annette Santiotta were also in
attendance.
1. Management Update:
A. Projects completed Since Last Workshop:
The air conditioner and condenser unit for the
northern portion of the restaurant dining room
went out in December and was replaced by a 10
ton Lennox SEER and three phase condenser by
Cherokee A.C. and Heating, Inc. and is operating
efficiently. On Thursday, Jan. 9, we received 11.5
inches of rain in a period of just over five hours!
The soft tennis courts received some erosion damage caused by the storm and the wakes of cars
driving by at a rate of speed enough to contribute
to the erosion. With this in mind, the courts have
been repaired and we will take steps to protect the
courts from wake activity in the future. Our
grounds maintenance crew did a good job of getting three of the four soft courts in playing condition by the following Monday; their efforts are
really appreciated. The roadways were commercially swept and pressure washed.
B. Status of Projects in Progress: The meeting package contains a proposal from Complete
Access Control (the company that currently services our camera equipment at both gates) for a
new DVR and two license plate cameras, one for
each gate to capture license plate numbers of
exiting vehicles The camcorder, used by the
POA to record the monthly BOD meetings
stopped working in November and two bids were
received. The lowest bid is from Johnson’s Clock
Shop, who provided the original camcorder and
is recommended as it is compatible with allowing
the recorded items to be placed on Channel 63
should the need arise. Signs needed to bring the
Beach Club/restaurant area into compliance with
ADA regulations are currently being manufactured and should be installed by the end of the
month. Treasure Coast Aquatics is scheduled to
treat the lagoons on the property the weeks of
January 13 and January 17. The gutters on the
north side of the restaurant had to be replaced by
the Gutter Guy, Inc. in the beginning of January as
the approximately 75’ stretch had begun deteriorating from the elements. The downspouts are in
good condition and were used to attach to the
new gutters.
C. Proposed New Projects: None.
The Second Notice of Annual Meeting was
mailed on Friday, January 17.
2. Real Estate: Carol Woodmansee, of Coldwell
Banker Paradise/Hoyt C. Murphy, reported seven
properties are under contract, two are pending and
five are contingent. Sixty Seven percent of all
dwellings sold in OV, year to date, were sold by
CB Paradise, compared to 19 other brokerages
who sold the remaining 33 %. Advance rentals
have improved +121.9% year over year.
3. Committee Reports (non-recreational):
A. Communications: Kay Snodgrass noted
a dedicated group of residents stuffed envelopes
for three hours last week for the mailing of the
Second Notice of Annual Meeting, along with the
proxy form. She urged those present to encourage
all their friends and neighbors to return the signed
proxy so we will attain a quorum for the Annual
meeting. She also reminded owners to make reservations for the Owners’ Dinner which will be at
The Inn at Ocean Village on Monday, February
3rd.
B. Beach and Dunes: No report.
C. ABR: No report.
D. Presidents’ Council: No report.
E. Finance Committee: No report.
4. Committee Reports (Recreational)
A. Golf/Tennis Shack: Beth Cecil, golf
manager, reported December golf rounds were
down from last season, as was the first half of
January; the weather has not been very “golf or
tennis friendly”. The golf course was closed for
four days as a result of flooding. The six new pull
carts purchased prior to season opening are a welcome addition; many rentals, and they are close to
paying for themselves. Tennis court #6 was
closed for four days due to flooding; both the golf
course and tennis courts are now fully operational.
B. Tennis: Bobbie Burbank, tennis chair
stated the tennis community is enjoying the wonderful soft courts. A big thank you to Norm and
the maintenance crew for getting them back in
shape so quickly after the rain storm. On Jan.8,
Emile planned a Nostalgia Round Robin. Players
used old wooden racquets and played with
lighter balls; a great time was had by all. Our next
social event is on Feb. 8 when the king and queen
of the court will be crowned. Big plans are
underway for the Hospice Pro-Am tournament to
be held on February 22 and 23. There will be
food, music, a bike and 50/50 raffle and lots of
great tennis. Please come out and support the
players with all proceeds going to Hospice.
C. Bocce: Chair Joe Clark reported winter
bocce league play began last week on Monday
morning. Forty eight teams are playing for a total
of 197 players and substitutes. As in previous
years, we will play a nine-week season, followed
by the championship play-offs and a luncheon at
The Inn. The Committee is busy preparing for
the special Olympics to be held on Saturday morning, February 15th. Information will be posted.
Plan to come out and volunteer to work with these
special athletes or just come to cheer them on.
The Committee wants to thank the BOD for further supporting OV bocce by acquiring and
installing the sun shades on the two courts. It’s
a little difficult to block the sun now as it is so low
in the southern sky but the shade will be appreciated as it gets warmer and the bright sun is overhead. I also want to thank our members for
agreeing to serve for another year.
D. Shuffleboard: Janet Heckenhauer an-
nounced the shuffleboard league has started with
72 players for a seven week season. The season
will conclude with an awards luncheon on March
12 at The Inn at Ocean Village.
5. Board member Eric Naegler announced
Mayor Linda Hudson will be at Ocean Village on
Jan. 28 at the OVC at 11 AM to speak about matters in Fort Pierce of interest to residents in the
Village.
6. Issues From Board Members: None.
7. Other Issues From Owners:
A. Elaine Petroupolis, Cat I, asked Treasurer
Joan Smith about foreclosures and owners in
arrears; currently that are ten units in foreclosure
and a total of 18 in arrears.
B. Lois Patton, Golf Lodges, announced
posters for the Arts and Crafts show have an incorrect date; the show will be held on Sunday,
February 16 at the OVC from 12 noon to 3 PM.
C. Paul Desborough, Southpointe, commented that, after the rain storm, water in the
lagoon between #2 and #3 holes was so high, it
presented a danger to pedestrians, especially at
night. He suggested we hire a consultant to suggest ways to cope with flood water on land which
obliterates the pond borders.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:50 PM.

NEWS from the Golf and Tennis Shop
The tournament season kicked off
Friday, Jan. 3 with the New Year's
Resolution Scramble. Thirty-six
players competed in the 18 hole
event and 28 others participated in
the 9 hole event. The conditions were
not remotely golf-friendly. There
were challenging 30 mph gusty
winds for all to contend with. Unless
you were there, you cannot truly
appreciate how great the winning
teams played. The collective 7 under
par recorded by Team Whitford/McEwen in the 18 hole competition is one of the all-time best
Scramble rounds in recent Ocean
Village golf history. Well done,
guys!
After golf, players were treated to
a luncheon menu consisting of
Goodfellas pizza, salad, cookies
and beverages. I would like to
thank all the players for bearing the
blustery "winter" conditions and
my staff for their support. Also
thanks to a special couple, Glen
and Janeen Fowler: Thanks for
always being there and for your
time and talents.
For a complete summary of
results from the New Year's
Resolution Scramble, see the

Interrupted
In case you didn't hear, the season was temporarily interrupted
due to a freak act of epic proportions by Mother Nature. Since winter typically is the dry season in
South Florida coupled by the daily
forecast prediction of 30% chance
of rain, what happened on Jan. 9
was thoroughly unexpected. The
skies opened up on that Thursday
and it rained and rained and
rained….12 hours later, Ocean
Village was inundated with over a
foot of rain. As a result, there were
rivers over 3 feet deep in parking
lots and roadways. The golf course
became a huge lake. Fish were
actually seen swimming down fairways! All 9 holes resembled the
famous 17th island green at the
TPC in Sawgrass.
Our resident poet was inspired by
the events. Geraldpoet produced
another whimsical gem which captured the essence of those two
soggy days (see page 20).
Obviously, the first week of
Men's and Ladies Socials were cancelled and the course was closed
for four days. Thanks to the monumental efforts of the grounds crew,
the debris was removed and the
course sufficiently dried to restart
play. By Monday, Jan. 14, the
course was playable. I want to
commend all golfers for your
patience and understanding during
the closure.
Two nights later on Jan. 16, 36
hardy golfers golfed under a clear
crisp 40-something degree temperature and a very bright full moon.
Shortly after sunset, golfers with
clubs, Night Flyer Go Balls and
flashlights in hand (with an insurance ball in tow) played the entire 9
hole OV course. No players were
lost; however, Marty Tormey produced the most memorable shot of
the tournament. A hole-in-one, you
think? No, much harder! Marty
skillfully stuck his global, a brightly lit red one, into the palm tree
which guards the right side of the
7th hole green. Many heroic measures (team tree shaking, tossing
other golf balls and even throwing
clubs at it) were tried in vain to dislodge the glowing sphere. The
recovery proved futile and the red
light eventually was extinguished.
Marty's skillful act will be forever
etched in OV golfing lore. Perhaps
we should even consider renaming
Hole #7 to “Lonesome Palm” or
“Red Light District.”
At evening's end, players retreated to the Aruba Center. The champions were crowned. Father and
son, Mike and Frank Schramm,
were one-half of the team that successfully repeated their 2013 victo-
ry. Once again, Ocean Village golf
is blessed to have another special
super couple who are always there
to help with the after golf parties.
Thank you, Terry and Norm
Schuiling, you are the best!

Golf Clinics
PGA Pro Dave Paterson returned
twice last month to instruct clinics.
Fifteen players attended the two
hour session of fundamentals of
putting on Jan. 13. There was individual instruction and each participant was video recorded to use as a
teaching tip.
The second clinic was held Jan.
27. Twenty attendees tapped into
Dave's knowledge about the fundamentals and techniques of chipping. The clinic was well received
by all in attendance. Thanks, Dave!
Dave will be returning Feb. 10 at
9 AM for a pitching and bunker
lesson. For more information, contact the Golf and Tennis Shop at
(772) 467-0102.
We will recap all of the winners
of the Jan. 27, 18 hole Couples
Championship in next month's edition of The Seaword.

last season (2013) only three PGA
Tour professionals played the par

Stephen Ames, and two other not
too bad players - Tiger Woods and
Phil Michelson.
TIP OF THE WEEK
The chip shot is used when there
is room to roll the ball to the pin.
Position the ball back in the stance
with your hands slightly in front of
the ball. A pitch shot is used when
height versus roll is needed.
Position the ball in the center of the
stance with your hands even with
the ball.

I think the deceased relative soft
hose
Who have been living in the polar
vortex were
Pouring pails, barrels, dish pans,
soup cans
And buckets of water from on high
But we will survive
We have
Flood insurance
And ladies in readiness always wear
floods
And we sing Blessed Assurance in
the Chapel
(Every week!)
But best of all we have the assurance
That beautiful
Florida sunshine
Will greet our day tomorrow!

In Memoriam
The Duckworths have long December we lost our dear a world class sailor. Those in
been a vital part of the Ocean friend, Ed. He was a man of tennis and golf had the pleasure
of sharing numerous fond
memories both on and off the
course and courts. What many
may not know was that Ed had
an eagle eye for spotting wayward golf shots and a penchant
for retrieving most of them.
Mr. Duckworth had a unique
name for this pastime: Night
Fishing. I would like to thank
Ginny Barnes, Ed's daughter,
who was gracious enough to
donate many of Ed's "night
fishing" finds. No doubt, they
will find their way back to
their natural habitat soon.
Thanks, Ed. Happy sailing! Your friends at Golf and Tennis.
