From the Treasurer Sheila Lane

From the Editor Linda Solomon

Annual Meeting & Elections

Date: Tuesday, December 19, 2017

Time: 7:30 PM

“A” Building

As I sit down to write this column I realize the last

time I had to compose a composition it was in college

English quite some time ago. The question was what

do I write? I decided since I am your Treasurer, I

would talk about my position and the parts that affect

you, the homeowners.

The Board has just approved a quarterly increase

of $15.00, to make the payments $510.00. Your pay-

ments keep this community looking pristine.

As you know, the coupon books for the following

year (2018) go out once a year, usually at the begin-

ning of December. All new homeowners, please be

advised that you will receive a coupon book with four

envelopes, one for each quarter of the year. Payments

received after the 10th are considered late and will

accrue a $25.00 fee. Please consider allowing me to

set you up an ACH withdrawal for you. All I would

need would be a check marked “void.” The mainte-

nance would then be deducted automatically from

your account; you can choose any date between the

first and the tenth of the month.

Another problem that occurs often is that when a

house is sold, the buyers do not receive the coupon

book from the sellers. The book needs to be trans-

ferred and the name changed on the coupon. The ac-

count number and the address stay the same.

If you are having trouble making the quarterly

payments, please contact me so I can arrange a sched-

ule so that you can meet your obligation. If you con-

tinue to be late, the next step is turning your account

over to our lawyer’s office, which will only cost you

more.

In closing let me wish all a Happy Holiday Season

and a Healthy New Year.

Another year almost over! I am beginning to

sound just like my mother, not just look like her! I

just don’t know where the time has flown and yet

when I look back, I am amazed at all that I have ac-

complished in this year and still, more that I did

NOT!

Not for lack of trying or even laziness. I think my

plate was just too full. So I took steps to make life a

little less busy. Just baby steps, mind you; but, it is a

start. Therefore, I have to thank Bonnie Wentz for

stepping up and offering to take over the handling of

vendors for this newsletter. She is now the Director

of Advertising and all ads will be arranged for by

her. My deep gratitude to her for taking that over.

I also relaxed some other projects I am involved

with by lessening the work I have to do for them. For

one, I formed a committee to oversee the layout of

one of the other publications I am involved with and

the show that I have written for the last 8 years will

now run itself . I have a stage manager and a cast

who will be determining their own roles in the show.

Oh, I’ll still direct their efforts but I won’t be doing

that much writing this year - yeah!

Why am I writing about this? Well I have decided

that I want to finally retire! I have been working

harder since I left my paying job that when I was

sweating the lesson plans and individualized lessons

for my special needs students. It’s my turn to sit back

and relax and ——-swim! I am

proud to say I am working my

way back to a mile (100

lengths) as I was doing this

summer. So, Fellow DV 4-5ers,

see you at the pool!

self. My name is Camille Montemurno and I am proud to

be the chairperson of a new committee called “That’s

What Friends Are For.” Many members of our 4/5 fam-

ily thought to put this committee together after Hurricane

Irma. We know how many of you were concerned during

the hurricane preparation, occurrence and aftermath of

how to get the assistance that you need. Well, you now

have your answer your 4/5 friends are here for you.

We are going to establish block captains for your

street. You will be able to contact them if you need assis-

tance. This will also give you the ability to give a family

member a contact phone number if they are unable to

reach you in the event they are worried about you.

We will be placing on your door a notice that if you

want to be included in the list of people to be checked on

and assisted we ask that you fill out the form and it will

be collected.

We will be giving you further information on the no-

tice. I just wanted to let you know that the notice would

be coming and that we all together as a community are

there for each other.

POPEYE

hanx and a tip of the ol’ Hatlo Hat to Ed

Clemon of Delray Villas West.

What, you may be asking yourselves, is a Hatlo Hat?

Well, Jimmy Hatlo was a syndicated cartoonist back when I

was a kid. You may remember him, too, since I assume we

were both kids at about the same time. Jimmy did a cartoon

called They’ll Do It Every Time about quirks in society and he

accepted suggestions from his readership about things people

will do every time. And, when he did, he would write a note of

thanks somewhere on the cartoon.

For instance, if Jimmy were still around and sketching the

cartoon, I would suggest he do one about Florida drivers who

very rarely use a directional when they’re going to make a turn.

Oh, sure, they might occasionally put on a blinker when they’re

in the right lane and sitting at a red light. You’re waiting anx-

iously behind them, wasting your time while they’re refusing to

turn right on red so you hit your horn, urging them to make a

move. But they wait for a green light. And then they drive

straight ahead through the light. If Jimmy used my idea, he

would note: Thanx and a tip of the ol’ Hatlo Hat to Bobby

Townsend of Delray Beach, Florida.

So what, you may ask, am I thanking Ed Clemon for? For

a suggestion, of course! It was Ed who suggested my wife

Ronnie and I go to this year’s Halloween Party dressed as Pop-

eye and Olive Oyl. Obviously, I had to be Olive Oyl because

everyone knows she was significantly taller than Popeye.

There was a tremendous amount of pressure for Ronnie

and me to come up with a brilliant idea for costumes this year.

You see, two years ago, we won the prize for best costume

when we went to the party as Sonny and Cher. Obviously, I

had to be Cher because everyone knows she was significantly

taller than Sonny. And. last year, we won the prize for most

original costume when I went to the party as Colonel Sanders

and Ronnie went as a bucket of chicken.

You know, I’m really sorry I told you about out past suc-

cesses. It will put pressure on judges to give the award to some-

one else next year. After all, the Townsends can’t dominate

every year. With that in mind, please label what I told you

about the last two years as Fake News. We didn’t win. It didn’t

happen. And I didn’t say what I said about it happening.

I’ve got to admit, though, Ronnie and I

won first prize for the best costume this

year. But since I’ve been thinking about

what we came up with for ideas the past

two years, I think we could have done

much better this year. I don’t think Ed

Clemon’s suggestion was as good as it

could have been. If Ed had been using his

head and I had been using mine, I would

have gone to the party as Popeye. And

the lovely Mrs. Townsend would have

been a can of spinach.

Sharon’s Read submitted by SHARON O’HALLORAN

THE ALICE NETWORK by Kate Quinn

Historical fiction is all about blending fact and fiction. It is

much like weaving a tapestry, adding new threads to the old

without breaking the pattern until the new and the old, the real

and the fictional, are one and the same.

The fact is that during World War I there was a female spy

network called the Alice network spearheaded by Louise de

Bettignies, also known by her alias Alice Dubois. She was both

courageous and outrageous. The network was supplied by

Louise’s many sources in the Lille area of France. They sup-

plied British intelligence with information on the German front

with speed and accuracy. The major who recruited women for

the network is also a real person, Captain Cecil Aylmer Cam-

eron, known to the women he recruited as “Uncle Edward.”

The book begins with a young American, Charlotte St.

Clair, in England with her mother on a journey to Switzerland

to rid her of her “little problem.” She knows she has brought

disgrace to her family as she is unmarried and pregnant and has

no idea who the father is. But she is on another mission, un-

known to her mother. She has the name and address of a

woman, Eve Gardiner, and a restaurant in France, La Lethe.

She is determined to find out what happened to her cousin

Rose, missing since the end of World War II and presumed

dead by her family. Finding her way to Eve’s home she en-

counters a woman with misshapen hands who is both drunk

and armed with a German Luger that she points at “Charlie.”

And so the story begins.

Eve Gardiner is a woman haunted by guilt and anger, a

member of the Alice network of World War I, who spied for

the British in Lille France. Of course she knows the restaurant

that Charlie mentions. She worked there, listening in on Ger-

man conversations, passing the information on through her

contact Alice Dubois. Eve was one of the fleurs du mal that

Cameron recruited and trained at Fieldstone, England. He also

gave them all code names of flowers.

Charlie convinces Eve to help her in her search for her

cousin Rose and they set off with Eve’s driver, Finn, a veteran

of World War II. Charlie, Eve and Finn are all haunted by

things from their past, people they were not able to save and

the guilt they feel about their failures. Equipped with Eve’s

ever ready Luger, the trio travel through Lille, Limoges and

Grasse, old French towns that the author describes in exquisite

detail.

The Alice Network jumps deftly and briskly between two

tumultuous periods in European history: 1947 in the aftermath

of World War II. and 1915. In the heat of the first, the novel

links the two women across time, as it becomes clear that

something from Eve’s dark past lingers in Charlie’s present.

Quinn’s novel also gives us tragedies, too, both from war and

from pursuing the ghosts and demons of the past. Charlie is an

entertaining narrator and Eve is a complex and rewarding .

character. Both women are courageous in their search for the

truth, no matter how painful. All of the characters are broken in

different ways. Eve drinks to deal with her nightmares and

guilt; Finn gets into fights and ends up in prison when he is

overcome with images from the past; and Charlie engages in

sexual encounters to numb her pain. As Hemingway once

stated, “The world breaks everyone and afterwards some are

strong at the broken places.”

Fans of historical fiction, spy fiction and thrilling drama will

enjoy the Alice Network.

MEET THE CANDIDATES The following four candidates are running for the three

vacancies on the 2018 Plat 4/5 Board.. Here is an opportunity

to hear what they have to say about their candidacy in their own

words.

Alan Kaplan I would like to be considered to be

elected to the board of directors of the

Delray Villas Plat 4/5 Homeowners Asso-

ciation. I have previously served on the

board of directors in my Kansas commu-

nity. I was treasurer and a member of the

landscape committee.

I also served as Vice President of my

synagogue, Hebrew Congregation, and

was next in line to become President prior t o

moving to Florida. I also served as President of the Mid-Kansas

Jewish Federation whose responsibility to support the Jewish

people and the community at large through charitable programs

for the elderly and the indigent, as well as the State of Israel.

Currently, I have volunteered to act as the chair of the upcom-

ing Plat 4/5 garage sale. We are looking forward to a successful

first time experience.

If elected to the Board, I will serve in any capacity as needed.

The board is vital to the success of the homeowners association.

I believe I can be of value by using my previous knowledge.

Being an active volunteer is vital in any community. I would be

honored to serve. Thank you for your consideration.

Hal Lechner My wife Robin and I moved to south

Florida 151/2 years ago. We originally

moved into Coral Lakes and during our time

there, I volunteered for and was elected

building captain. That position made me

completely responsible for the running of

the building and making sure that all 32

units were taken care of according to board

rules an regulations.

I am a retired NYC Board of Education

health and physical education teacher. I

coached the varsity football team as well as being a voluntary

advisor for SING, which was a contest between the freshman,

sophomore, junior and senior classes in an original song and

dance competition. During my years living in New York, I was

a volunteer paramedic for 11 years. I was also president of my

ambulance corps for 3 years. When we moved to Florida, I vol-

unteered and became head of the youth bowling league in sev-

eral bowling centers.

I am not just looking to volunteer again for something else to

do. Plat 4/5 looks beautiful, neat and clean. This is due to the

hard and conscientious work of the board and cooperation of the

residents. I would love to be part of keeping our community that

way by serving on our board of directors. Towards that end, I

served on the Plat 4/5 inspection committee and hope to con-

tinue giving my service to the community by becoming a mem-

ber of the board. Thank you for your kind attention.

Russel Mayer Hello, Delray Villas residents. I would like to

tell you a little bit about myself.

I have lived in Florida for approximately

seven years; three years, as a snowbird, in Plat

1, and then moved from Michigan in 2012, into

Plat 4/5 as a permanent resident, where I have

lived for the past five years.

For the past three years I have been involved with the Citizen

Observer Patrol (COP), which I enjoy very much. Working in

this way has made me familiar with so many of the residents

that live here, as well as helping me to be aware of what is going

on in our community.

Last year I was asked to shadow Butch Herbst, who sat on

the Board in charge of Maintenance, in order to learn the intrica-

cies of his responsibilities. Butch was planning on retiring and

needed someone to fill in until election time when some person

would be elected. While doing this, I had a chance to meet so

many of the people here in our community. Being able to help

people and keeping our community looking it's best is very re-

warding, even though the job itself is very time consuming. I

also had the opportunity of meeting many residents in our subdi-

vision, so the people are quite familiar with me.

I would like to continue in this position, but I need your vote.

Election time is only a few weeks away and for me to remain

doing this, I need your support. When you see the name, Russel

Mayer, on the ballot, I would appreciate your putting a check

mark next to it. Thank you.

Bill Yesowitch I am running for the board after

having served on the board for a one

year term. This past year, I acted as

Chair of the Interview Committee

and as Parliamentarian.

My wife, Judy, and I moved to

Delray Villas in 2011 from Louisville, Kentucky. In Louisville, I

was a practicing attorney for thirty years. We still go back to

Kentucky to visit our family and friends; but, our heart is now

here in our new community, Delray Villas.

I have served on a variety of boards in various capacities and

as president of our local Rotary Club three times. I also served

as president and treasurer of our local religious organization,

Congregation Anshei Sfard as well as chair of the Buechel KY

Business Association and Neighborhood Association. I look

forward to continuing to serve this community and ask for your

vote. Thank you.
