It has been said by visiting Pros and
players that Ocean Village soft courts are
among the finest on the Treasure Coast.
Ed Turner, Freddie Tillman and Darrell
Martin maintain the courts for us. Their
hard work and attention to detail keeps
our playing surfaces in top notch condition. Next time you see them, be sure to
thank them for their efforts. Remember,
we players must do our parts by sweeping
the courts after each playing period and
cleaning off the brushes after sweeping.
The courts are closed for maintenance on
the second Tuesday of every month.

General Manager’s Corner
Many Associations are facing issues
involving dogs or other animals in their
community. Many Associations are forced
to bend their policies regarding pets in
order to accommodate “service animals”
and “emotional support animals”.
This issue is important enough that the
United States Department of Justice recently issued a service animal update entitled, “Frequently Asked Questions about
Service Animals and the ADA” (Americans with Disabilities Act) which impacts
anyone providing public accommodations, restaurants, and other businesses.
In contrast, the Fair Housing Act (FHA)
affects those providing housing accommodations, such as apartment owners and
community associations. In addition, if a
housing development, such as a condominium, country club, or other such entity
is open to the public for business services
like hosting entertainment, recreation, or
Norm Spector
General Manager
food services, the development may also
be governed by the ADA. As you can see,
this is a very complex issue facing most
community associations that are wrestling with making sure all laws regarding
these animals are properly followed!
Currently a “service animal” is defined
as a dog or other animal that has been individually trained to do work or perform
tasks for an individual with a disability.
The task(s) performed by the animal must
be directly related to the person’s disability. Emotional support, therapy, comfort,
or companion animals are not considered
service animals. A dog whose “mere presence provides comfort” is not a service
animal.
A service animal can be any breed of
a dog. A service animal may not be excluded based on the assumptions or stereotypes about the animal’s breed, unless
the particular service animal behaves in
a way that poses a threat to the health or
safety of others. Service animals must
be under the control of the handler at all
times and must be leashed or harnessed,
unless that interferes with the service animal’s work.
For more information about the
ADA, you can visit their website at
www.ADA.gov. This information is presented to you from the POA to help clear
any misconceptions regarding the classification of the animal groups mentioned
and are strictly for your information and
hopefully will eliminate any confusion regarding the two classifications of animals.
As always, please contact my office at 772-489-0300 or email me at
[email protected] if our
staff or I can assist you in any way!

VALENTINES REMEMBERED
(Edited from the author’s column of February
2008.)
I was in the fifth or sixth grade when I received
my first “real” Valentine, one I determined to be
a true message from the heart. Before that, they
were usually little paper ones we folded and put
together or those we made from red construction
paper and paper lace doilies. There was a rule in
our classrooms that each student receive a Valentine from everyone. The purpose was to avoid
those who were “popular” from receiving perhaps
22 cards while someone else getting only 4.
Some years we made a large communal mailbox from a shipping carton covered in red and
decorated with white hearts. The teacher acted
as postman and distributed the cards to individual
desks. Sometimes one of the students was selected to be the postman, which was quite an honor.
In other years, we each brought in a shoe box for
our own mailbox. We cut the mail slot in the top
and used red hearts over white shelf paper to decorate. Valentine’s Day was very important back
then.
When we had our own boxes, it was easy to slip
in a special card for someone we especially liked.
We didn’t open the Valentines in school but carried them home where we could read each one in
delicious privacy.
I received a special card one year and memorized it immediately. I treasured it for years. It had
a red satin puffed heart on the front and was larger
than any of the other cards, signed, I knew, by a
boy in our class who had a crush on me. He didn’t
actually put his name on it, but rather signed it
anonymously with “Your friend.” I was thrilled,
of course, because I was desperately in love with
him, and at age 11 that was pretty significant.
To this day, I remember the precious words,
even as I cannot remember who was on the telephone a half-hour ago or what we had for dinner
last night. The message was:
No Valentine Could Tell you
All the Things I want to Say
But Still You Know Me Well Enough
To Guess my Thoughts Today.
For There’s A Language of the Heart
That’s Clear as It Can Be
That Lets Me Tell You Just How Much
Your Friendship Means To Me.
Be My Valentine
In later years, heart-shaped boxes of candy
were a display of affection. I evaluated the depth
of the giver’s ardor by whether the candies were
all cream-filled or had nuts and caramel. Red and
white roses were, of course, a notch above candy,
and when I received those I pressed them carefully in my scrapbook of important momentoes.
While family exchanges of Valentines have diminished somewhat throughout the years, I treasure the memories of my children’s homemade
gifts of love.
Recently, while rummaging through boxes of
old photos and children’s art work, I came across
Charles C. Hayek
CGC007292

MY STUFF
a couple of handmade Valentines
which meant more to me than any
satin heart or candy ever could. At
the risk of being too sentimental,
I share them with you now. They
were as much “from the heart” as
I could want.

The Nibble Report
We have had COLD and WINDY
weather here the last week or so! That
is the fishing story on our beach as we
write this on January 25. Today, however, I did hear of a few fish caught...small
pompano and catfish.
If you are interested in an alternative...
The Savannas Preserve State Park provides GUIDED kayak tours every Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning at 8
AM for only $10 per person. They provide the kayaks..and the Preserve provides NATURE’S BEST of some wild
and beautiful country...NEARBY! The
park is located near Indian River Drive
off Walton Rd. For reservations for the
kayaks, call 772-398-2779.
The Savannas at one time held the
state record for large mouth bass! If you
go and want to fish on the tour...you will
need a freshwater fishing license. There
is a boat launch there if you have your
own kayak...it’s open every day of the
year...and all you have to do is pay a
park fee of $3.
Boomer would like to remind everyone to walk against traffic here in OV,
especially when walking a dog! This
eliminates two or more dogs “creating
difficulty” if they are walking toward
each other.
Remember...just catch em!

A gathering of authors
Sunday, March 13 from 2-4 PM
The second annual gathering of Ocean Village authors will be at the OV Clubhouse. There will be presentations and readings followed by a reception and
opportunities for conversations with the authors. Books will be available for purchase. Refreshments will be served.
For information, call Margaret Hawke at 468-9041 or Priscilla Oehl at 4647284.
OV resident publishes
“Tales of Africa” book
Ten months after they met in Manchester, England in 1970, Vivien Davies and husband, Bill, were married
and set sail on their wedding day for
Nairobi, Kenya. Bill had accepted a
job as a chemical engineer with British Crown Agents and together they
would embark on a two-year adventure, traveling extensively and absorbing the culture of East Africa. While
there they also experienced the birth of
their daughter.
Returning to the U.S. in 1981, the
Davies have made their home in Guilford, Connecticut. They first visited
Ocean Village in 2013 and became
owners in 2015.
Prior to visiting Ocean Village,
Vivien wrote extensively for travel
magazines, local and national newspapers and Country magazine. Upon
her arrival in OV she discovered the
bi-monthly “Writers Group” and became an active member.
Encouraged by her fellow writers,
Vivien began to write and share her stories of moving to Nairobi. Her recently
published book,
“A Mosquito on
My Nose, Tales
of Africa,” is a
delightful collection of the events
leading up to their
move and anecdotal descriptions
of their Kenyan
life. It is filled
with humor as well as an understanding of the experiences encountered in
such a different culture.
“A Mosquito on My Nose, Tales of
Africa,” will be available at the Arts
and Crafts Fair to be held on Sunday, February 28 from 12-4 PM at the
OV Clubhouse. Copies may also be
purchased directly from Vivien (203453-3926) as well as Barnes and
Noble and amazon.com. 25% of the
profits from book sales will go to the
Kilimani School in Nairobi for partially sighted and blind children.

Southpointe happenings
By the time this column comes
out, Valentine’s Day will be upon us.
Hope everyone had a wonderful New
Year’s. For those of you who celebrated in Ocean Village at The Inn as my
husband and I did, we were extremely
happy with the dinner provided at the
restaurant. As we had just arrived the
day before from up north, we were able
to get 6:30 PM reservations at the last
minute and were pleasantly surprised
at the presentation and the overall quality of the dinner. The new chef is doing
an outstanding job the several times we
have eaten at The Inn.
Southpointe Homes had its Annual
Meeting and Dinner on Friday, January 15. Peter Bennett, Jim Harding and
Paul Desborough were all re-elected as
officers for another year. Our Association is very well managed. Our thanks
go out to each of them for their commitment and time it takes to manage
our cluster.
I
We have new neighbors that moved
into Southpointe Homes. Susan Scarola and Tom Hudson are the new owners of 71 Winghaven Drive. Although
they have been visiting Ocean Village
and Susan’s mother, Grace Scarola, for
almost 40 years, this is their first OV
purchase. They have spent months here
renovating and are very happy to report
that their home is “almost done”. Susan and Tom plan to summer at their
NY home on Sleepy Hollow Lake in
Athens, NY, but they love to travel and
always have a trip planned somewhere.
They both spent years working in the
auto industry. Tom is fully retired, golfing frequently and working on his cars.
Susan continues consulting, and is actively engaged with two nationwide
youth safety organizations. She plans
to learn how to golf one of these days.
Welcome, Susan and Tom!
Until next month,

Backus tried to pay back his Uncle Reg Godwin for the cost of his tuition to Parson’s School of Design.
Uncle Reg told Bean not to pay him back, instead he told him to “Pass It On.” As his Uncle Reg told him
to do, Backus passed it on to the Highwaymen and countless other aspiring artists. A.E. Backus was the
teacher of the group’s founder, Alfred Hair, as well as mentor, art critic and friend to many of the original
Highwaymen. If there were no Backus, there would be no Highwaymen.

Rain, rain and more rain along serve balance is $32,792, nearly
with several cold spells greeted
us in January. Hopefully February will be kinder to us. Our
cluster is nearly full of residents,
guests and renters, so drive
slowly through our parking lots
looking out for walkers and bicyclers.
The Annual Meeting was held
on January 25 at the Aruba Center. We had a quorum for the
meeting which allowed us to conduct the business of the Board.
Ed Fish reported that we have
a positive variance to budget
of $5,286, which the BOD voted to reclass to pooled reserves.
Ed noted that there is a $5 per
month raise across each unit that
is earmarked for reserve spending. Due to the soffit and fascia
reconstruction, landscaping of
the rear of the buildings with
plants, white stones and new
mulch, power-washing of sidewalks, an upgrade of the elevator monitoring system and small
roof repairs along with several
small projects we have used a
large portion of our reserves. Re-
$50K lower than our norm. Jim
Seymour explained the ongoing
dock stabilization project and
the upgrade of the material to be
used for the decking. He also
explained the termite control experimental methods being tested
on several units to see if positive
results are accomplished. Joan
Smith went through the entire
list of all the projects completed in 2015. Joan stated that we
have welcomed 21 new owners
from 2013-2015. Sadly, though,
we said final goodbyes to June
Olson and Richard McAuliffe.
Annette Sanniota, our First Services Manager, told the audience
how to access the cluster website
at oceanvillage.com. Please call
Annette should you forget your
logon or password. There was
also a discussion about internet
and TV service. Jim Seymour,
Ed Fish and Joan Smith will research other options than AM3
before our contract expires September 2017.
A large group of owners met
after the meeting at The Inn to
celebrate another successful year
at BTII and to wish my hubby,
Joe, a happy birthday. A fun time
was had by all; and thanks to the
bevy of lovely ladies who peeled
themselves away from the bar to
serenade Joe with a lively
rendition of “Happy Birthday.”
Thanks all!!
Happy Fat Tuesday, Ash

The
Trainer’s Room
As a personal trainer, l I am frequently challenged by people seeking help in
establishing a healthier lifestyle or trying to accomplish other fitness goals.
Most of the time this increased interest in becoming healthier is tied to an
important event or goal. It may be a
New Year’s resolution (we are famous
for that), an upcoming wedding, a high
school reunion or even a recent health
scare. Whatever reason gets you working out, exercise and physical activity
are recognized as reasons for producing
healthy aging, preventing disability and
dependence and reducing health care
costs.
Besides quitting smoking, there is no
other lifestyle factor that has a greater
effect against disease and disability in
later years than that of keeping a regular exercise program. Physical activity, along with good nutrition, provides
protection against most diseases and
conditions. Even moderate levels of fitness can delay the aging of our body.
Further, exercise programs, even
when started later in life, have been
found to be beneficial for people’s
health even to the point of reducing the
need for medications and walking aids
and needing help on every day, normal
activities.
So, in conclusion, it’s never too late
to start. Begin slowly and take baby
steps to a healthier lifestyle.

Golf Lodges...News and entertainment
Is it me or does time go faster after retirement? I can never seem to fit in all
the things I need to do, let alone things
I want to do…you know the important
stuff, like golf, tennis, swimming reading etc. etc…just don’t tell me it is age!!!
There has also been lots of social
arrangements to fit in lately and now
through February and March we maybe
seeing you at the Polo, the girls’ luncheon at the Pelican Club, the dinner
and Beach Boys night at the Sunrise
Theatre, Nine and Dine and don’t forget
the Aruba for our monthly get together.
Whew…there goes the housework!
I am glad to see that the shutters are all
down for the season and welcome back
to the Golf Lodgers to their warm winter
homes. I also want to welcome all the
new owners: Nancy Sommers, John and
Finlay in his New Orleans beads!
Caroline Joyce, and John and Marianne
Peterson. John is the brother of Brenda
Lattof, so I am sure we can add another
fun family member to our community.
Some new furry friends have also entered the neighborhood to join the other
“rulers of the roost” that we have seen
around for awhile. John Peterson’s Bichon, Gidget, will be joining her ‘cousin’ Maggie May, Brenda and Mike’s
11-year-old Bichon. Maggie May,
(named after the Rod Stewart song)
can be seen most days walking Mike.
Maggie looks at other dogs with distain as she trots elegantly along. After
all, nobody has her wardrobe or style,
as can be seen by the picture of her in
her Christmas outfit. Maggie lives just
down the road from Arthur (named after the Dudley Moore movie). Arthur is
Maggie May at Christmas!
Beachtree I buzz
January saw Beachtree 1 welcoming
in the New Year with almost a full cluster. Several residents dined and danced
at The Inn, and some chose to stay in
for a quiet evening. Hans and Baerbel
Schumann hosted an intimate dinner party, complete with “poppers” that broke to
reveal a crown and a prize. No matter the
venue, champagne flowed freely at midnight to acknowledge the passing of the
old and the beginning of another year.
Over 80 residents joined in the festivities at the January social. Former resident, Linda Lillian Feld, presented the
Maurice Frank Trio as a tribute to her
mother The music was superb, a nice selection of familiar tunes, and lent a lively
Anita and Dick Redman get crowned
atmosphere to the evening. You never
know what to expect at our socials, so
do remember the next one is scheduled
for February.
Larry and Marie Roussey traveled toCancun, Mexico, for their granddaughter’s wedding. Larry had the honor of
giving away the bride, who chose the
Hard Rock Cafe at Playa de Carmen for
her designation wedding. Other travelers
include Ahmed and Katie Hazah, who
will tour cities in Italy and Egypt, returning March 1.

Terrier who’s trainers, Ben and Cheryl
MacCallum, have to walk several times
a day; in fact, Ben is often dragged
around the neighbourhood on his bike
in order to keep up with this athlete….
doggie Olympics here he comes! Then
there’s Chewy. Chewy is a Maltese who
was ‘rescued’ from Craigs List at eightmonths-old, by Nancy Macro, who has
been serving his needs ever since, even
taking him on boat rides, as you can see
by the photo. There is also a photo of
Finlay, a Golden Retriever, who allows
Julie and Brad Wheler to cater to him.
My husband and I first met Finlay last
year when he was just a few months old,
while he was “resting” in the middle
of the road, so tired was he, but he is a
big boy now and has all sorts of energy,
chasing the local wild life, eating anything in sight, and loving everyone. See
how cute he looks, with his New Orleans beads on! These lovely creatures are
much loved and well cared for by their
“staff” and an enjoyment to us all. I love
to see them around, I love to pet them,
and I am so happy someone else does the
grooming, feeding and scooping!
In closing, especially for the men, this
is a reminder that Valentine’s Day is
nearly upon us! A single rose is always
acceptable; however, a dozen is always
better… especially when it comes with
chocolates and champagne…dinner is
an option…but no pressure.
Have fun and enjoy the view.

of a private residential community, Doug
is an avid golfer and sports fan. Ruth, retired as a senior litigator for Erie Insurance, is quite the athlete She enjoys golf,
swimming, biking, shuffleboard, bocce,
and picked up pickleball on the first try.
(Why is it that everyone I play with is
a “natural” athlete?) Ruth is often seen
walking their dog, Paris, around the Village.
At the January meeting of the Board
of Directors, President John Pumphrey
reported the new mailboxes are still
in process due to an unforeseen delay.
Meanwhile directors are looking into
adding gutters and drain pipes to the rear
of the buildings, checking the condition
of some of the docks, and weighing bids
for cleaning the buildings. There will be
a notice going out about keeping dryer
vents and air-conditioner pipes clean as
some owners have become lax about
maintenance.
A reminder to all owners: The Annual Meeting is Wednesday, February 17
at 2 PM in the Aruba Center. A quorum
is required to conduct business, such as
adopting the budget and confirming the
new Board. All owners have received a
proxy form. If for any reason an owner(s) are unable to attend, do return your
proxy before the meeting date.

T he Garden Spot
TCNSP9162
The Christmas lights are down, more
volunteers are appearing, and more
plants have been planted. All this should
help remind you: Don’t forget to mark
your calendars for Sunday, March 13,
for the Remembrance Garden Tour
from 1:30-3 PM.
While it is always a pleasure to walk
and sit among the myriad of flowers in
the garden, this will be an opportunity to learn more about what you see.
Two Master Gardeners, our venerable
gardener Georgia Kraemer, and knowledgeable volunteers will be on hand to
identify the varieties and answer questions. If you visit the garden regularly
or have yet to visit, don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this “jewel of Ocean Village.”
One of our newer plants is tiny and
easy to miss, but worth seeking out: the
Nematanthus is a genus of the flowering
plant family Gesneriaceae. It is a native
of Brazil and found primarily in Central
and South America, but is now becoming popular in Florida. What makes it
so noteworthy is the flower that earned
it the common names of “goldfish” or
“guppy plant”. Sitting among thick,
waxy, dark-green leaves are long, tubular or pouch-shaped bright red-orange
flowers with a small, yellow-encircled
opening at the end. The overall effect is
of a leaping fish. A visitor must deviate
from the path to find this exotic plant.
Step off the sidewalk to the right before
the jasmine-covered arch. The little
plants are along the edge of the garden
before the first graveled path.
We continue to thank those of you who
have bought a remembrance brick for the
sidewalk, those who have made a donation to Beachtree 1 Cluster for The Remembrance Garden, and those who have
volunteered their helping hands and, often, knees. To do any of these, contact
Georgia Kraemer at 772-489-8736.

Bocce news
When the days get short, the sun rests
in the southern sky, and the mornings
are crisp, you know it is time for the
Ocean Village winter bocce league to
begin. On a chilly January 11, the 16
players shown in the included pictures
kicked off our annual winter league.
Once the Thanksgiving holidays
were over, people began thinking of
the 2016 bocce league. When registration opened on December 1, all the
regular openings were quickly filled
in the first week and substitutes kept
coming to sign up. This year, we have
Page 11
48 teams playing each week during the
nine week season (192 regulars and 24
substitutes) for a total of 216 players.
As the first week of the season began, we had the usual problems of people not showing up, forgetting when
they play, deciding not to play, etc.;
but, by the second week, everything
was running smoothly. It became obvious that many players had practiced
over the summer and were already in
mid-season form. It was good to see

Catamaran I news
On Tuesday morning, Jan. 12, Pat
O’Brien and Dee Judge hosted a Coffee
Social for Catamaran I ladies at the Cayman Center. It was an exchange of ideas,
menus, books, entertainment and, in general, getting to meet and greet our neighbors.
The menu consisted of very light
sweets and fruit with coffee. The two
hours just flew by and everyone was
asking if we could do this again soon.
The next Coffee Social is planned for
Thursday, Feb. 11 at the Cayman Center
from 10 AM-12 noon. Come and enjoy
Pat and Bill O’Brien
the company!
CAT I held its annual “Welcome
Back” party on Jan. 15 at the Cayman
Center. There was a great turnout with
lots of laughter and good food! The next
social is scheduled for Feb. 19.

new faces and players who had never
played but were brave enough to give it
a try. By the third week, they will find
that it is an easy game to learn but a difficult one to master. As usual, everyone is
looking forward to a challenging season.

• The season ends on March 10 and
the playoffs and championship game
will be scheduled March 11-16

sure everyone agrees WITH THAT.

AWOL
Welcome again! We are handling the
cold but it could be a lot worse. The
north is having very low temps and a lot
of snow; so, make the best of the weather
that we are having here in Florida.
The season is now here and all the Village is full so we are enjoying the good
times! We will be having our White Elephant Sale and Fashion Show, both in
March. Be on the lookout for them.
We had a nice birthday party which
was a pot luck at the OV clubhouse on
Jan. 21 and the turnout was great. We
want to again thank The Inn for the great
menu that they are having this season and
the good service that also comes with it.
We have our meetings every Monday at
4 PM and then we go to The Inn to have a
bite to eat and some fellowship.
Thanks to IRSC for sending this year’s
recipient of our scholarship to our meeting to tell us about herself and what she
plans to do. We give a scholarship to a
student every year at this time to further
their education and improve their life. A
lot of people in the Village think we are
just a group that meets just to have fun;
but I would like to tell you all that, while
we do have fun, we do a lot of volunteer
work in and around the Village and donate money to very good causes. So dispel the myth of just fun. We do a lot of
good!
I want to thank all the group for their
kind words and attention to me with my
recent illness and time in the hospital. I
am well on the mend and doing so much
better now.
If you want to join our group, come to
the Aruba any Monday at 4 PM and be
a part of our group for fun, fellowship
and a great feeling of doing good work to
help people in need.
Until next month, keep healthy, happy
and, most of all, moving.

News from the Golf and Tennis Shop
The extreme precipitation to start the
New Year has been a challenge to all those
associated with OV golf and tennis and no
doubt a boon for the tri-county movie theaters and local shopping establishments.
It is frustrating for all of us golfers, tennis
players, course and maintenance crews,
and GTS staff alike. The weather has not
been as nice as the last several winters but
still better than anything up north. As a result, we have had a slew of cancellations,
including the fourth week of the Men’s
Social and all Ladies Friday Socials, the
golf portion of the Welcome Back Scramble, the contraction of the String Scramble
from 18 to 9 holes, and, as of this writing,
the course has been closed five days as a
result of the soggy, unplayable, dreadful
winter conditions. On the positive side,
we enjoyed a record number of December
rounds to close out 2015.
In addition, Dave Patterson, the Indian
Hills pro, joined us for a pair of instructional clinics. Thirty-eight residents took
part in the group lessons. The first group
participated in a Putting Clinic and the
second group attended a Chipping Clinic. Attendees were able to ask questions,
participate in drills and receive individualized instruction. Thank you, Dave! We
appreciate your time and valuable instruction.
As reported earlier, the Welcome Back
Scramble was plagued by the wet conditions. The actual golf portion of the day
was replaced with a challenging Team
Trivia quiz. Questions such as: “What is
a scratch golfer?” and “What is the ladies’ equivalent to the men’s Ryder Cup?”
challenged the team’s knowledge of fun
golf facts. The team of Fred Whitford,
Joe Helmetag, Dano Christensen and Joan
Bert excelled in the morning tournament,
answering 13 of 18 questions. Team Noerr
and Harrow paired up to win the afternoon
trivia with an impressive 14 out of 18
questions answered correctly.
The second scramble of the year, our
String Tournament, was moved from its
traditional spot in March to mid-January.
Unfortunately, the rain forced postponement of the 8:30 AM shotgun start and the
18 hole event was cut in half so that the
maintenance crew could properly prepare
the greens and the tee boxes. Arny Loew
and his team bested 11 other teams and
mastered the strategic use of the string.
For a complete list of the tournament winners, see the scoreboards on page 16.
This month, the golf and tennis calendars are jam packed with events. (See the
Save the Dates list for golf on page 16).
The windows are busy signing up couples
for the annual Valentine’s Day Scramble
for Saturday (2/13) as well as the Valentine’s Tennis Round Robin (2/6). Also, the
ladies, in lieu of the Friday league, will
compete in the annual Ladies Friendship
Day (2/19). This year’s theme, “It’s in the
Bag,” promises to be a fun-filled day of
golf, great food, wonderful prizes, and
camaraderie. Ladies, don’t forget to bring
your money for the 50/50 raffle.
The crown jewel of the Ocean Village
Golf Season will take place over two
days. The new and improved Hospice
Pro-Am Golf Tournament begins with the
Sunday Night Draw Party (2/14) and concludes with an 18 hole scramble with a local pro, followed by a luncheon on Monday (2/15). This event will be celebrating
its Silver Anniversary. To be a part of the
25 year history, please sign up at the Golf
and Tennis Shop. We are limiting the field
to the first 40 players.
Let’s hope the weather improves as the
majority of the events are scheduled in
the next eight weeks. Rain, rain, go away,
come again another day! That’s what my
Grandmother Lewis used to say when my
brother and I would visit on a dreary day
when we were kids. It seemed to work
then; we are adopting it as our new motto
now. It can’t hurt!
As always, if you have any questions,
concerns or suggestions, please feel free
to let me know. Finally, just in case you
wanted to know, the trivia answers: a
scratch golfer has a zero handicap and the
women’s equivalent to the men’s Ryder
Cup is the Solheim Cup.
Stay dry and safe. See ya on the courts
and course!

Someone you should know
Kevin O’Connor joined the Golf and
Tennis Shop this December as a high
school senior graduating this year from
Fort Pierce Central. He is a lifelong Florida resident. He plans on going to Syracuse
University in northern New York to study
entrepreneurship, with the goal of starting multiple companies. Success focused,
he tries to stay as well-rounded as possible, currently in the process of learning
the guitar with the goal of also learning
the bagpipes, among other instruments.
He has an eccentric taste in music, ranging from country to pop to classic rock,
though his favorite artist is Frank Sinatra.
He also puts a lot of focus into his car, trying to know how it works inside and out.
He does most repairs on his own, trying to
make what he feels is the most American
car on the road, a Ford Mustang, last as
long as he can drive. Please stop by and
give him an Ocean Village welcome!

Three Quick Tips To
Help Your Golf
1. To make your most powerful efficient swing you need a body that is
well conditioned. Try working out 2 or
3 days a week, in addition to drinking
plenty of water.
2)Mental strength is an ally to performance and self-confidence. You’re
your strongest partner. Whether you
think you can or you can’t, you’re
right. The negative creates tension and
tension destroys the swing.
3)Learning can be accomplished by
practice, and improvement only by
correct practice. You must do it to
get better. Practice your putting, your
chipping, and your swing as much as
you can. Should you decide a lesson
is needed, chose a teaching pro, make
sure he or she understands what you
want to accomplish and you must have
realistic expectations. It’s very important you are both on the same page. Remember, it’s only golf, enjoy it!

POA UPDATE
REGULAR WORKSHOP
Monday, Jan. 18, 2015
President Jack Craig called the meeting to order at
2 PM in the Aruba Center. All members were present.
At the December workshop, a discussion regarding
The Inn and the Tiki bar was led by Mark Zollo, our
restaurant lessor. One of the owner’s suggested we
investigate the possibility of “No See ‘Em” control.
Management invited three vendors, each with different
equipment and cost structure to attend today’s meeting.
Those presenters included SWAT Mosquito Systems,
Arrow Exterminators and Golf Ventures, Inc. They
each explained their proposals and gave quotes. Board
members and owners had many questions. The Board
agreed to do more investigating and hopes to be able to
engage someone with a solution within a few months.
During the Holidays, the air conditioning unit located at the Aruba Center, replacement budgeted for
2016, went out and was leaking Freon; it was replaced
by Cherokee Air Conditioning and Heating. Also
during the Holidays, the ice machine in the OVC finally stopped producing ice and was replaced, again
by Cherokee Air Conditioning and Heating. Both the
air conditioning unit and the ice machine come with
warranties as shown in your meeting packets. The ice
machine lasted almost 15 years.
The Geo thermal system for the Beach Club pool
needed a compressor replaced on one of the eight
units and three coils needed to be replaced on three
of the units during the month of December, included
in the meeting packets. In addition, a vacuum beaker
and stand pipes were installed to the lead unit and spa
heater as a preventative for air lock which can cause
damage to the system as time goes on. The filter system also on the Beach Club pool needed replacement
and this work was done in the beginning of January
by our pool service contractor. The old system lasted
seven years. This item and the next are under “New
Projects” on the agenda but had to be done prior to
this meeting for obvious reasons. The 20 card tables
used in the OVC are physically and literally on their
last legs. New tables have been ordered as these tables are constantly used by our residents and we got
an excellent price for the replacement of all of them at
$43.50 each. In the meeting packet and on the agenda
are three items previously reported on (at the December 17 Board meeting) and completed. Replacement
of three burned out lighting modules in the restaurant
has been completed; this work was completed by Light
Emitting Design. The installation and replacement of
speakers along the east balcony of the restaurant was
completed by AVS Technologies. Replacement of the
camera at Blue Heron entrance was also done, as the
original shorted out during the recent storms.
The lagoon project remains on hold as the lake level
on Hole #1 has not receded enough to allow Shenandoah Construction to re-sod and complete the project.
The replacement of the worn and rusted out gas system to the fire place in the restaurant, approved at the
December Board meeting, has been put on hold as the
temporary fix to the system is working well right now.
Installation and replacement of two “Clean and Clear”
filters at the Beach Club.
Mark Zollo, from The Inn at Ocean Village, was present to address concerns from owners. He announced
he is forming a culinary meeting for interested owners each second Monday at the restaurant at 11 AM.
Owners are encouraged to attend. He also mentioned
he would like foliage around the Tiki bar removed to
lessen the insect problem in the area.
Although Brian Lehman, Coldwell Banker, was absent, he had submitted a report via email. From January 1, 2015 to January 13, 2016, 100 units were sold
in Ocean Village. As of January 13, four properties
are under contract and 30 properties are listed for sale.
2015 seasonal rentals show an increase of $234,194, or
32% over 2014.
Kay Snodgrass, communications coordinator, reported the Seaword is on campus now. The new Inn
Page 17
menus will be inserted in the newspaper and delivered on Tuesday. Jim Seymour announced the Beach
and Dunes committee is presently organizing a Beach
Clean-up project; details will be forthcoming. Jim
Podsedly said that, after the January ABR meeting, he
will know if additional members will be needed. Joan
Smith, finance committee chair, announced she would
be delivering the annual financial report at the Annual
Meeting on February 1.
Beth Cecil announced December golf rounds were
up 45 from last year and total receipts are up from
$3,593 to $4,687. More discount round packages were
purchased; so we might see future months’ receipts fall
as patrons use them for daily play. January rounds are
down over 400 rounds. All of the Ladies’ Friday Social in February were cancelled due to rain and wind.
The golf course has been saturated and has been closed
entirely on Jan. 15-17 and the better parts of four other
days. The players enjoyed and supported enthusiastically the Holiday putting tournament and putting clinic. The January Welcome Winter String Scramble was
completed by Saturday with a full house. Upcoming
events in February are the 18 Holes Couples Championship and Chipping Contest. Please sign up for February events. The tennis courts appear to be handling
the rain; they were briefly closed Sunday morning but
reopened by 11 AM. Twenty four more bracelets have
been sold so far this year as during the same period
last year. Emile’s Tennis Tournament was a fun event,
enjoyed by all. Tennis online reservations can now be
made two days in advance or on the same day. Two
new staff members, Sam Barnes from Indian Hills GC
(Keiser School of Golf) and Kevin O’Conner, a high
school senior who will be attending Syracuse University, are now on board, along with four returning staff
members.
Barbara Beatty reported from the tennis committee
that 24 players participated in the Thanksgiving Round
Robin in November; and in December, the Christmas
Social took place. Players and guests all brought toys
which were donated to the local “Toys for Tots” drive.

On January 16, Emile sponsored his “Welcome Back”
social for 24 players. The Round Robin was followed
by a pro Exhibition featuring Jay Perry, Dan Caragata,
Michael Phllipa and Emille. Almost 100 people were
at court 3 to witness an amazing number of wonderful shots. Bernie’s Games are underway with over 80
participants. On February 20 and 21, we invite all of
Ocean Village to participate in the Tennis Pro-Am for
Hospice. There will be amateur tennis, Pro tennis with
VIP Seats for sale, a bike raffle, a 50-50 raffle, a hot
dog lunch sale, a boutique clothing sale, music and
much more. Please join us and support Hospice.
Dave Clewell researched alternate surfaces for our
remaining hard courts. He reported that he has talked
to Frank at Island Dunes who does not recommend the
Claytec surface. Cost for new courts, water at 3,000
gallons a night plus yearly maintenance are too high to
pursue at this time. The idea of painting pickleball lines
on court 10 is on hold until the need for more pickleball courts is fully determined. A bus trip to the Miami Open will take place on March 19. We will leave
Ocean Village a 7:30 AM for a day of exciting tennis.
We are partnering with Island Dunes for this event. The
committee reviewed the Tennis Rules, published in the
Directory. We submitted the revised rules to the POA
Board today. The primary change is the removal of the
Reservation priorities section which had specific times
and days for events. This will allow the committee
more flexibility to determine where and when events
take place. Times and dates for all sponsored activities
will be posted on the bulletin board at the Golf and
Tennis shop. A big thank you to Alicemarie for reformatting the rules. We will be submitting the names of
Julie Wheler, Mike Sickenius and Suzanne Lavins to
join the committee. Charis Melillo has resigned; we
thank her for her years of service and wonderful work
with the finances of the committee.
Joe Clark reported on a very successful fall bocce
league with 64 players competing in the four week
games. When registration opened for the winter league,
all the regular openings were filled in the first week.
The nine week league opened last Monday with 48
teams playing during the week. This year, there are a
total 216 players, 192 regulars and 24 substitutes. Just
a few dates to keep open on your calendars: Season
ends March 10 and playoffs will be scheduled March
11-16. Bocce luncheon is scheduled for March 22 at
The Inn (we have 197 players signed up so far). Our
Annual Special Olympics will be held Saturday, February 27 at 9 AM.
Norm Dykstra stated there was no fall shuffleboard
league; however, the winter league has expanded from
seven to eight weeks by adding an additional day,
Tuesday to the Wednesday and Thursday schedule.
We currently have 94 regular players (up from 30 last
year) and eight substitutes. Norm Dykstra, Barbara Pulie and Sandy Clark held a clinic at 1 PM on January 6
to familiarize any interested new players with the rules.
Unfortunately, it rained much of the day and only three
people came for the clinic. Seasonal play began on
Tuesday, January 12 and will end on Thursday, March
3 with playoffs to begin soon thereafter. A luncheon
will be scheduled shortly.
There were no additional comments from the Board
nor were there any comments from owners.
The workshop was adjourned at 3 PM.
REGULAR MONTHLY BOD
MEETING
Thursday, Jan. 28
President Jack Craig called the meeting to order at
3 PM in the Aruba Center. All members were present, with the exception of Alicemarie Donohue. Treasurer Joan Smith reported target percentage is 100%
for 12 months. Income was at 103.71% and expenses
at 103.59%. There is a positive, unaudited variance
to budget of $3.546. Expenses have been adjusted between reserves and capital improvement. At year end,
we have expended $221,057.08 in capital expenses and
$162,455.21 in reserve expenses. Reserves are 1.22
MM dollars. The reserves have increased to $108K in
2015. The balance sheet shows accounts receivables
to include legal fees of $149,701.79, and $131,261.85
in maintenance fees from owners. Due to our bad debt
allowance for uncollected funds of $225,354.48, the
net receivables is $55,609.16. The foreclosure rate is
0.57% with seven homes in foreclosure and a total of
10 owners delinquent. Jim Harding discussed the ongoing escalation in flood insurance premiums for both
the clusters and the POA. The 2015 budget shows a
$9K increase in flood insurance and we will revisit it
for the 2017 budget. The FPUA will also raise water
and sewage rates for the next few years. We again discussed the reverse osmosis concept realizing that increased need and costs may require us to revisit this
project as technology and construction costs become
more feasible. The committee complimented Norman
Spector and his administrative crew on operating within the budget and, in many cases, actually lowering
costs.
General Manager Norman Spector said new tables,
discussed at the January workshop and will replace the
current fold out tables in the Ocean Village Clubhouse,
were ordered this week. The total cost of the tables is
$875 with no shipping charges. The “El Nino” winter we are experiencing continues to drop a lot of rain
on the property, which is causing a downturn in the
number of rounds we are selling on the golf course.
Shenandoah Construction checks in bi-weekly to see
if the lake level on fairway #1 has receded enough to
finish up their work; they will continue to do so, until
the project of the grading and sodding the lake bank
is completed. The monthly maintenance on the soft
courts was scheduled to be performed this past Tuesday, because of scheduling changes this month, but the
rain postponed the maintenance until February 2. The
repair of the pavers and improvement of the drainage at
the entrance to the administration office building was
done on Wednesday, January 20 by Encompass Pavers and our grounds maintenance staff. Beth Cecil is
reaching out to pickleball players to encourage them to
put together a pickleball committee in order to handle
suggestions and other needed communication with this
group of residents.
The annual “Tour of Homes” conducted every year
by Coldwell banker/Paradise Hoyt Murphy Realtors
will take place this coming Sunday, January 21 on
Ocean Village Property.
The two contractors contacted to come out to discuss the possibility of constructing a roof or similar
structure over the Tiki bar table area are still working
on their proposals. We should receive them both by the
end of the month.
The material data sheets asked for at the January
workshop from the companies who bid on the “No See
‘Ems’” prevention systems are coming in to my office
and are very extensive. They were too long to include
in this meeting packet but are available for Board use
any time you would like to review them. Mike Lattof
provided information in the meeting packets concerning Pyrethroids. Finally, Tri Brothers Tree Service will
perform the first palm tree trimming on POA property
near the third week of February.
Mary Praslicka, recreation director, reported the Friday aerobics class is going strong. All activities are
in full swing; look for postings put up in all the clubhouses, on channel 63, and in the kiosk. On Sunday
February 14, we will celebrate Valentine’s Day at the
Beach Club pool with Larry Johnson, an international touring recording artist, and one of the lead singers
from “The Temptations”, who will bring his Motown
in Motion show from 2 PM to 5 PM. On Friday, a bus
trip is planned to the Isle Casino in Pompano. We will,
one again be hosting the Special Olympics on Saturday, February 18 at 12 noon at the OVC. The AWOL
annual sale will be on Saturday, March 12, so gather up
items to donate.

Emile’s “Welcome Back” tournament drew a large crowd of tennis
players to the courts on January 16.
The day was bright and sunny after
several days of rainy weather.
Emile explained the format of play
and assigned the courts. Loretta and

keep score. After two hours of hard-
