VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10
A MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT
We were both ready
and
lucky!
I’m
referring to the arrival
of Hurricane Matthew.
Thank God it decided
to miss Delray in full
force, but we were
prepared
if
it
did. Thanks go to Teri,
Eduardo, Manny, several volunteers and
Board members who notified everyone
and helped get things in order before the
storm arrived. One key reminder – if you
are not around during hurricane
season or are away for more than a day,
you need to take any possession of yours
and get it inside your unit including
grills, plants and pots, chairs, etc., etc.
That would be a major necessary step
in damage prevention.
Our Finance Committee and Board of
Directors along with Teri have met
several times during the past few weeks to
review and discuss the proposed budget
for 2017. The draft proposed budget was
agreed to by the Board this past week at
the October Board meeting and is being
mailed to all owners for their information
and review. The 2017 budget will be
formally voted on by the Board at the
November, 17th Board meeting. Please
attend if you can.
I know it might not be easy for some
owners to vote this coming election due to
the limited choice some feel we have, but
to not vote is to give up your
responsibility as a citizen and to cancel
your right to complain downstream.
Please vote and let the 200+ years
democratic process be honored. Thanks!

FROM THE EDITOR
1
I’m sure everyone was concerned as the
weather reports were coming in regarding
the anticipated arrival of hurricane
Matthew. The strength of the storm, the
direction it was headed, its cone of
influence and its deadly effect on
Caribbean countries were indicators of its
potential effect on south Florida and
specifically Pines of Delray West.
Our Pines staff did their part and all they
could to adequately prepare the property
and advise the owners and residents of
safety aspects prior to and during the
storm.
Fortunately, the storm track was east of
the shoreline sufficiently to reduce the
effects on the property to less damaging
winds and rain. We can say we were very
lucky and as well prepared as we could
be!
Once again we request that you confirm
that we have your correct phone number
in the office. The phone blast that was
sent out for the hurricane notification DID
NOT reach all owners, residents and
renters. I have the list of incomplete calls
and will be recalling these numbers and
checking in the office when I return to
PDW.
In the meantime, if you did not receive the
phone blast for the hurricane, please check
in with Teri and give her your current
phone information. Thank you.
The Newsletter will be delivered by email,
so we need your email address.
Additionally, the Newsletter is archived at
the Pines of Delray West website, at

Newsletter will be available in the office
for those who don’t have computers or
printers.
I continue to seek your input for the PDW

NOVEMBER MEETING SCHEDULED
FOR November 17, 2016 – 7:00 PM
NOVEMBER HOLIDAYS
November 6 - DAYLIGHT SAVING
TIME ENDS
Daylight Saving Time Ends on the first
Sunday in November at 2:00am.
Daylight saving time (DST) or summer
time is the practice of advancing clocks
during summer months so that people get
up earlier in the morning and experience
more daylight in the evening. Typically,
users of DST adjust clocks forward one
hour near the start of spring and adjust
them backward in the autumn.
timekeeping, and can disrupt meetings,
travel, billing, record keeping, medical
devices, heavy equipment, and sleep
patterns. Software can often adjust
computer clocks automatically, but this
can be limited and error-prone,
particularly when various jurisdictions
change the dates and timings of DST
changes.
Make sure to turn back your clocks.
History
The New Zealander George Vernon
Hudson proposed the modern idea of
daylight saving in 1895. Germany and
Austria-Hungary organized the first
implementation, starting on 30 April
1916. Many countries have used it at
various times since then, particularly
since the energy crisis of the 1970s.
November 8 – ELECTION DAY
The practice has received both advocacy
and criticism. Putting clocks forward
benefits retailing, sports, and other
activities that exploit sunlight after
working hours, but can cause problems for
evening entertainment and for other
activities tied to the sun (such as farming)
or to darkness (such as fireworks
shows). Although some early proponents
of DST aimed to reduce evening use of
incandescent lighting (formerly a primary
use of electricity), modern heating and
cooling usage patterns differ greatly, and
research about how DST currently affects
energy use is limited or contradictory.
Election Day History
Election Day refers to the day on which
general elections in the United States are
held. Presidential elections are held every
four (4) years and the elected president
will then be sworn in and take office the
following January 20th, a day known as
Inauguration
Day.
Election Day is always held on the first
Tuesday in November in the US.
EXCEPT this year!
Election Day Facts & Quotes
Problems sometimes caused by DST
clock shifts include: they complicate
Elections held for federal offices only

There is no law in the Constitution or
Federal
mandate
which
requires
electorates to vote in accordance with the
popular vote of their state.
There are 538 electoral college members.
In order to win the vote for President of
the United States, a candidate must obtain
at least 270 of these votes.
Nobody will ever deprive the American
people of the right to vote except the
American people themselves and the only
way they could do this is by not voting. Franklin D. Roosevelt
‘Let each citizen remember at the moment
he is offering his vote that he is not
making a present or a compliment to
please an individual--or at least that he
ought not so to do; but that he is executing
one of the most solemn trusts in human
society for which he is accountable to God
and his country.’ - Samuel Adams, The
Writings of Samuel Adams, Harry Alonzo
Cushing, editor (New York: G.P.
Putnam's Sons, 1907), Vol. IV, p. 256.
November 11 – VETERANS DAY
Veterans Day is an official United States
holiday that honors people who have
served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also
known as veterans. It is a federal holiday
that is observed on November 11. It
coincides with other holidays such as
Armistice Day and Remembrance Day,
which are celebrated in other parts of the
world and also mark the anniversary of the
end of World War I (major hostilities of
World War I were formally ended at the
11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th
month of 1918, when the Armistice with
Germany went into effect). The United
States also originally observed Armistice
Day; it then evolved into the current
Veterans Day holiday in 1954.
Veterans Day is not to be confused with
Memorial Day; Veterans Day celebrates
the service of all U.S. military veterans,
while Memorial Day is a day of
remembering the men and women who
died while serving.
Observance
Because it is a federal holiday, some
American workers and many students
have Veterans Day off from work or
school. When Veterans Day falls on a
Saturday then either Saturday or the
preceding Friday may be designated as the
holiday, whereas if it falls on a Sunday it
is typically observed on the following
Monday. A Society for Human Resource
Management poll in 2010 found that 21
percent of employers planned to observe
the holiday in 2011.
Non-essential federal government offices
are closed. No mail is delivered. All
federal workers are paid for the holiday;
those who are required to work on the
holiday sometimes receive holiday pay for
that day in addition to their wages.
In his Armistice Day address to Congress,
Wilson was sensitive to the psychological
toll of the lean War years: “Hunger does
not breed reform; it breeds madness,” he
remarked. As Veterans Day and the
birthday of the United States Marine
Corps (November 10, 1775) are only one
day apart, that branch of the Armed
5
Forces customarily observes both
occasions as a 96-hour liberty period.
Thank a veteran and use #VeteransDay to
post on social media.
History
U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first
proclaimed Armistice Day for November
11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he
said “To us in America, the reflections of
Armistice Day will be filled with solemn
pride in the heroism of those who died in
the country’s service and with gratitude
for the victory, both because of the thing
from which it has freed us and because of
the opportunity it has given America to
show her sympathy with peace and justice
in the councils of the nations.”
The United States Congress passed a
concurrent resolution seven years later on
June 4, 1926, requesting that President
Calvin
Coolidge
issue
another
proclamation to observe November 11
with
appropriate
ceremonies.
A
Congressional Act approved May 13,
1938, made the 11th of November in each
year a legal holiday: “a day to be
dedicated to the cause of world peace and
to be thereafter celebrated and known as
‘Armistice Day’.”
In 1945, World War II veteran Raymond
Weeks from Birmingham, Alabama, had
the idea to expand Armistice Day to
celebrate all veterans, not just those who
died in World War I. Weeks led a
delegation to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower,
who supported the idea of National
Veterans Day. Weeks led the first national
celebration in 1947 in Alabama and
annually until his death in 1985. President
Reagan honored Weeks at the White
House with the Presidential Citizenship
Medal in 1982 as the driving force for the
national holiday. Elizabeth Dole, who
prepared the briefing for President
Reagan, determined Weeks as the “Father
of Veterans Day.”
U.S. Representative Ed Rees from
Emporia, Kansas, presented a bill
establishing
the
holiday
through
Congress.
President
Dwight
D.
Eisenhower, also from Kansas, signed the
bill into law on May 26, 1954. Congress
amended this act on June 1, 1954,
replacing “Armistice” with “Veterans,”
and it has been known as Veterans Day
since.
Although originally scheduled for
celebration on November 11 of every
year, starting in 1971 in accordance with
the Uniform Monday Holiday Act,
Veterans Day was moved to the fourth
Monday of October. In 1978, it was
moved back to its original celebration on
November 11. While the legal holiday
remains on November 11, if that date
happens to be on a Saturday or Sunday,
then organizations that formally observe
the holiday will normally be closed on the
adjacent Friday or Monday, respectively.
November 24 –THANKSGIVING DAY
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated each year
in the United States on the fourth
Thursday in November.
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and
Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn
6
harvest feast that is acknowledged today
as one of the first Thanksgiving
celebrations in the colonies. For more
than two centuries, days of thanksgiving
were celebrated by individual colonies
and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the
midst of the Civil War, that President
Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national
Thanksgiving Day to be held each
November.
History
In September 1620, a small ship called the
Mayflower left Plymouth, England,
carrying 102 passengers—an assortment
of religious separatists seeking a new
home where they could freely practice
their faith and other individuals lured by
the promise of prosperity and land
ownership in the New World. After a
treacherous and uncomfortable crossing
that lasted 66 days, they dropped anchor
near the tip of Cape Cod, far north of their
intended destination at the mouth of the
Hudson River. One month later, the
Mayflower crossed Massachusetts Bay,
where the Pilgrims, as they are now
commonly known, began the work of
establishing a village at Plymouth.
Throughout that first brutal winter, most
of the colonists remained on board the
ship, where they suffered from exposure,
scurvy and outbreaks of contagious
disease. Only half of the Mayflower’s
original passengers and crew lived to see
their first New England spring. In March,
the remaining settlers moved ashore,
where they received an astonishing visit
from an Abenaki Indian who greeted them
in English. Several days later, he returned
with another Native American, Squanto, a
member of the Pawtuxet tribe who had
been kidnapped by an English sea captain
and sold into slavery before escaping to
London and returning to his homeland on
an exploratory expedition. Squanto taught
the Pilgrims, weakened by malnutrition
and illness, how to cultivate corn, extract
sap from maple trees, catch fish in the
rivers and avoid poisonous plants. He also
helped the settlers forge an alliance with
the Wampanoag, a local tribe, which
would endure for more than 50 years and
tragically remains one of the sole
examples of harmony between European
colonists and Native Americans.
In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’
first corn harvest proved successful,
Governor William Bradford organized a
celebratory feast and invited a group of
the fledgling colony’s Native American
allies, including the Wampanoag chief
Massasoit.
Now
remembered
as
American’s
“first
Thanksgiving”—
although the Pilgrims themselves may not
have used the term at the time—the
festival lasted for three days. While no
record exists of the historic banquet’s
exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler
Edward Winslow wrote in his journal that
Governor Bradford sent four men on a
“fowling” mission in preparation for the
event, and that the Wampanoag guests
arrived bearing five deer. Historians have
suggested that many of the dishes were
likely prepared using traditional Native
American spices and cooking methods.
Pilgrims held their second Thanksgiving
celebration in 1623 to mark the end of a
long drought that had threatened the
7
year’s harvest and prompted Governor
Bradford to call for a religious fast. Days
of fasting and thanksgiving on an annual
or occasional basis became common
practice in other New England settlements
as well.
During the American Revolution, the
Continental Congress designated one or
more days of thanksgiving a year, and in
1789 George Washington issued the first
Thanksgiving proclamation by the
national government of the United States;
in it, he called upon Americans to express
their gratitude for the happy conclusion to
the country’s war of independence and the
successful ratification of the U.S.
Constitution. His successors John Adams
and James Madison also designated days
of thanks during their presidencies.
In 1817, New York became the first of
several states to officially adopt an annual
Thanksgiving holiday; each celebrated it
on a different day, however, and the
American South remained largely
unfamiliar with the tradition. In 1827, the
noted magazine editor and prolific writer
Sarah Josepha Hale—author, among
countless other things, of the nursery
rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb”—
launched a campaign to establish
Thanksgiving as a national holiday. For
36 years, she published numerous
editorials and sent scores of letters to
governors, senators, presidents and other
politicians. Abraham Lincoln finally
heeded her request in 1863, at the height
of the Civil War, in a proclamation
entreating all Americans to ask God to
“commend to his tender care all those who
have become widows, orphans, mourners
or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife”
and to “heal the wounds of the nation.” He
scheduled Thanksgiving for the final
Thursday in November, and it was
celebrated on that day every year until
1939, when Franklin D. Roosevelt moved
the holiday up a week in an attempt to spur
retail sales during the Great Depression.
Roosevelt’s plan, known derisively as
‘Franksgiving’, was met with passionate
opposition, and in 1941 the president
reluctantly signed a bill making
Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday in
November.
Celebrate
In many American households, the
Thanksgiving celebration has lost much of
its original religious significance; instead,
it now centers on cooking and sharing a
bountiful meal with family and friends.
Turkey, a Thanksgiving staple so
ubiquitous it has become all but
synonymous with the holiday, may or may
not have been on offer when the Pilgrims
hosted the inaugural feast in 1621. Today,
however, nearly 90 percent of Americans
eat the bird—whether roasted, baked or
deep-fried—on Thanksgiving, according
to the National Turkey Federation. Other
traditional foods include stuffing, mashed
potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin
pie.
Parades have also become an integral part
of the holiday in cities and towns across
the United States. Presented by Macy’s
department store since 1924, New York
City’s Thanksgiving Day parade is the
largest and most famous, attracting some
2 to 3 million spectators along its 2.5-mile
route and drawing an enormous television
audience. It typically features marching
8
bands, performers, elaborate floats
conveying various celebrities and giant
balloons shaped like cartoon characters.
Beginning in the mid-20th century and
perhaps even earlier, the president of the
United States has “pardoned” one or two
Thanksgiving turkeys each year, sparing
the birds from slaughter and sending them
to a farm for retirement. A number of U.S.
governors also perform the annual turkey
pardoning ritual.
A common activity for children is to make
Christmas ornaments. Many church
Christmas trees are decorated with these
ornaments that represent symbols in
Christianity, like doves and fish.
November 25 - BLACK FRIDAY
Cyber Monday is observed annually on
the Monday after Thanksgiving. Cyber
Monday was developed as a way for
internet based companies to have a way to
compete with Black Friday.
Black Friday is observed the Friday after
Thanksgiving by ‘brick and mortar’ retail
stores to spur sales of goods, since most
folks are off for the long weekend.
November 27 - Advent Begins
Each Sunday in Advent has a particular
theme. The first week is faithfulness,
associated with Christ coming in final
victory. The second and third Sundays,
which feature the stories about John the
Baptist, represent hope and joy. The
fourth Sunday, which covers the events
that led up to the birth of Jesus, represents
love.
Many churches light a candle on an advent
wreath each Sunday to represent each
theme. The wreath is either suspended
from the ceiling or sits on a table. It is
made of evergreen branches and holds
four candles - three purple for the first
weeks of Advent and a pink one for the
last week. A white Christ candle is placed
in the center and will be lit on Christmas.
Advent starts the four Sundays before
Christmas. Church banners and cleric's
stoles are purple during the season.
November 28 - CYBER MONDAY
In 2013, Cyber Monday online sales grew
by 20.6% over the previous year, hitting a
record $2.29 billion, with an average
order value of $128.
The deals on Cyber Monday are onlineonly and generally offered by smaller
retailers that cannot compete with the big
retailers. Black Friday is the best day to
get cheap deals on technology with nearly
85% more data storage deals than Cyber
Monday. The past Black Fridays saw far
more deals for small appliances, cutlery,
and kitchen gadgets on average than
Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is larger
for fashion retail. On the past two Cyber
Mondays, there were an average of 45%
more clothing deals than on Black Friday.
There were also 50% more shoe deals on
Cyber Monday than on Black Friday.
Get your computer out and enjoy those
online deals.

History
Cyber Monday is a marketing term for the
Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday in
the United States. The term “Cyber
Monday” was created by marketing
companies to persuade people to shop
online. The term made its debut on
November 28, 2005, in a Shop.org press
release entitled “Cyber Monday Quickly
Becoming One of the Biggest Online
Shopping Days of the Year”.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
 Don’t sneeze when someone is
cutting your hair.
 Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat
at the same time.
 You can’t hide a piece of broccoli
in a glass of milk.
 Don’t wear polka-dot underwear
under white shorts.
 The best place to be when you’re
sad is Grandma’s lap.
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
You can’t change the color of your
child’s eyes. But you can make them
glow with the light of true love.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE
CHILDREN LEARN
 No matter how hard you try, you
can’t baptize cats.
 If your sister hits you, don’t hit her
back. They always catch the
second person.
 When your Mom is mad at your
Dad, don’t let her brush your hair.
 Never ask a 3-year old brother to
hold a tomato.
 You can’t trust dogs to watch your
food.
