Welcome to Davisville Village
We‘re delighted to announce the addition of some great new residents to our community
this summer. The staff extends a warm welcome to each and every one, and look forward
to getting to know you better. We encourage everyone to reach out to your new neighbors
and help them feel at home in our community. If we can assist you in any way, please stop
by the Management Office. We are thankful to have such wonderful residents at Davisville
Village!

enjoy the holiday with friends and family. The office will be closed for the day, so our staff
can also have time to spend with their loved ones.
Gone With the Wind?
Most rental insurance policies cover personal property, but if you do suffer a loss the
company will need specific and traceable information. Here are a few tips to help ensure
that your valuables are covered. • Make a list of all items include brand name, specifications,
model numbers, serial numbers and approximate date of purchase. • Save your receipts on
big ticket items such as furniture and electronics. • Have jewelry and artwork appraised and
take pictures of each item. • Make a video tape of your home, slowly recording each item
up close. • Keep above mentioned lists, receipts, appraisals, video tape as well as other
important documents such as birth certificates, titles, marriage licenses and your original
insurance policy locked in a fireproof safe or safe-deposit box.
Grandparents Day is Sept. 7th
If you are a grandparent, the gift you would probably like most is a visit from your
grandchildren. If you have a grandmother or grandfather of your own, turn that statement
around. The nicest thing you can do is to stop by to see them and give them a big hug.
Visiting might not be possible in our time of far-flung families. If your grandparent or greatgrandparent lives far away, a phone call is the next best thing.
In the Kitchen
Home-cooked dinner strategy for busy cooks: Cook double what you will need for one meal.
The next night, make variations from the leftovers. For example, roasted chicken one night...
chicken salad the next. If a wonderful dish takes too long to prepare, don‘t give up. Make
the identical meal a week later and again a week after that—you will get faster each time.
No Smoking in Common Areas!
In an effort to provide our residents with a clean environment, we respectfully ask that
you and your guests refrain from smoking in the hallways, lobbies or inside any common
area on the property. Thank you for your consideration!

News You Can Use
R
unning is one of the simplest exercises you
can take up. Aside from a good pair of shoes,
you don’t need any specialized equipment—just
some open space and a certain amount of
endurance. Just be careful to avoid injury from
these beginners’ mistakes:
• The wrong shoes. Don’t just buy the cheapest
pair of sneakers you can find. Visit a store that
specializes in running shoes and talk to an
experienced salesperson to find the footwear that’s
best for your feet.
• Too much, too soon. You may start out with a
lot of enthusiasm, but don’t try to run a halfmarathon your second time out. Remember that
you need to work up to greater and greater
distances over time to avoid undue stress on your
body.
• Lack of recovery. Learn how to cool down properly after your run with a slow
jog or walk for about five minutes, followed by some stretching, rehydrating, and
ice on your muscles to alleviate soreness. Take at least one day off every week to
let your body rest and repair itself.
• Improper technique. Don’t just run full out. An overlong stride can waste
energy and may cause injuries like shin splints. Concentrate on landing on the
middle of your sole, swinging your arms, and taking light, quick steps.
• Ignoring pain. Don’t try to be a hero. If you feel pain while
running, stop until it goes away. If necessary, see a doctor.
Pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong.
• Lack of a goal. Some people find running enjoyable all
by itself, but most of us do better with a clear plan. Set a
goal that will motivate you to put on your running shoes
even when you don’t feel like it. It should be concrete
and specific: not “Lose weight,” but “Lose 10 pounds
in six months,” or “Work up to five miles by the
end of the year.”
Run, run, run–
but avoid these
rookie mistakes
How to avoid road rage
Whether you drive for work, or just
commute on a daily basis, chances are
you’ve seen overly aggressive, angry
drivers on the road. How do you keep
out of their way or prevent a violent
confrontation? Here are some simple
do’s and don’ts:
• Don’t cut people off. When you
merge, make sure you have plenty of
room and use your turn signals. If you
do accidentally cut someone off, make
a gesture of apology.
• Do change lanes if someone is
trying to pass you. You may be going
the speed limit, but you could put
yourself in danger if a driver behind
you wants to go faster.
• Don’t tailgate. Safety experts say
you should have at least a two-second
lag behind the car in front of you.
• Don’t gesture your irritation or
disapproval. Nothing gets a road-rager
angrier than an obscene gesture. Don’t
even shake your head. In fact, if a
driver is angry with you, try not to
make eye contact, and put as much
distance between you and the irate
driver as you can.
• Do take the high road. An angry
driver can’t engage you if you refuse to
get angry back. When an aggressive
driver cuts you off, simply think, “Be
my guest.” Pretty soon, it’ll be an
automatic response. And you’ll be a lot
calmer and happier for it.
Easier loyalty point tracking. Points.com lets users automatically track
up to 100 loyalty accounts they specify, including frequent-flier points from
various airlines. It also lets members exchange and redeem miles and points.
Members who don’t want to jump from site to site can track their miles and points
from airline, hotel, car rental and credit card loyalty programs.
Give your kids some extra school help
Lots of children need special help in school. Here are a few
ways you can help your kids develop skills that will help them
in the classroom:
• Help your child become organized. Have a place for
books, papers, pencils, and other study materials, and
require that everything always gets put back where it
belongs. Establish routines for daily study and homework,
and provide work charts or checklists as reminders for
complicated tasks.
• Repeat learning experiences. Don’t assume that your
child has learned a skill or task, such as spelling a word or
tying shoes, just because he or she managed it one time; an
hour later he or she may seem to have forgotten it
completely. Repeat directions, perhaps using different words.
• Work with the school. Request conferences with the
teachers. They’ll inform you about their methods, which you
can reinforce at home.
