My fellow Trustees and I have been working on many old issues as well as some new projects. I will provide an overview and leave the details to our manager Russell. • Most importantly we are launching the Leisure Knoll website shortly. This will be an excellent tool for community communication. Our management team will have email addressed so everyone will be able to contact Russell and receive a response within 24 hours. • We are working on a ROBO calling system that will enable management to notify all residents with just one phone call in cases of emergencies or important information that we want to get out to everyone. • The BOT is continuing to review the new office project and the options. FHW Engineers and our accountant will be attending our next open meeting to discuss these options and the projected final costs. We were projecting a spring start but that has been delayed. • The putting green project is moving forward, Russell will give you more information during his management report. • We had a town hall meeting on February 10th, 12 to 15 residents talked to Vinny, Lucille and Russell about community concerns including Gate security, Emergency procedures and night rover patrol. The BOT and management are working on several recommendation from that meeting. We are planning another Town hall meeting. • The BOT would like to announce that we are looking to form an insurance committee, anyone interested should contact Russell. We have a wealth of knowledge in this community and we should tap into it for help where we can. In closing I think we as a board and community are moving in a positive direction and we should all be looking forward to a great spring and summer season.

To that end we are creating a new Leisure Knoll website! The Leisure Knoll website will be full of information and will be an excellent way for management and the Board of Trustees (BOT) to keep everyone updated. This will be for important community news as well as to inform everyone about activities throughout the community. As we put the finishing touches on the initial launch of the website, we will begin to “get the word out” about how homeowners can login to it. Through this new site, we will begin to explore its many features. You can begin to explore the website at www.leisureknollatmanchester.com. (It will be in a constant state of improvement/updating). Management has also contracted with a phone service provider to install an Alert phone calling system that will allow management/BOT to send important messages to all resident with just one call! These “alert calls” will be limited to emergencies and important community information. For either of these communication tools to be effective, the management staff needs to have your contact information. Current phone numbers and email addresses are the key to the success of these programs. Most residents have provided management with updated phone numbers within the past several months, so we are confident we will reach most with our “alert call” when it’s necessary. You will have to provide your email address to be able to login into the new website. Please be aware your contact information is NOT shared with any outside third party at any time. Management and the BOT look forward to a new interactive beginning!

DEFINING “Curb Your Dog” POLICY WHEREAS, the Governing Documents empower the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to manage the affairs and business of Leisure Knoll at Manchester Association, Inc. (the “Association”); and WHEREAS, the Association’s Board of Trustees is empowered “to make, and enforce compliance with, such reasonable Rules and Regulations relative to the operation, use and occupancy of the common areas and Association facilities, and to amend the same from time to time, as when approved by appropriate Board resolutions shall be binding on the owners and occupants of units, their successors and assigns”. WHEREAS, has heretofore adopted a RULE that “Pets must be curbed”; and WHEREAS, the definition of the Rule has been questioned as it related to dogs, so the Board has determined it appropriate to clarify the policy which is the basis of the Rule; NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED that the RULE that “Pets must be curbed” as it relates to “curbing your dog” shall more specifically mean and be construed as follows: “Keep your dog under control and out of trouble... i.e.; keep your dog(s) leashed and/or confined to your property and keep them from being a nuisance, or causing trouble or causing damage to property of others or injury to others. Under no circumstances, shall dogs be allowed to roam at large. All dogs shall be walked on a fixed leash not to exceed 10 feet in length. All dogs shall be walked on sidewalks or paved roads or driveways and/or parking areas. Dogs shall not be left alone outside unattended, even if on the property of the dog’s owner. It also means to pick up your dog’s poo when they are out on your property. The dog owner shall be responsible for immediately cleaning up after the dog and repairing any property damage of any kind that is caused by your dog. When your dog defecates (aka “poops”) it should be in the street off the grass, and not on your neighbor’s lawn or grass on the curbside of the sidewalk, commonly known as the “devils strip”. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Association shall publish and give notice of the foregoing definition to all homeowners; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that nothing in this Resolution shall prevent the Board from exercising any and all rights and remedies available to it by law, in equity and/or pursuant to the governing documents, to enforce any reasonable rule(s) relating to pet control or to impose fines for violation of the Association’s rules. CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing was duly adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of Leisure Knoll at Manchester Association, Inc. held on this 14th day of July, 2009.

No one else in popular American music has recorded for so long and at a high level of excellence as Tony Bennett. In the last ten years alone he has sold ten million records. The essence of his longevity and high artistic achievement was imbued in him in his loving childhood home in the Astoria section of Queens where he was born on August 3,1926. His father died when Tony was ten and his mother Anna raised him and his older brother and sister, John and Mary. He attended the High School of Industrial Arts in Manhattan where he continued nurturing his two passions, singing and painting. On the radio he developed a love of music - hearing Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Durante. As a teenager Tony sang while waiting on tables and then enlisted in the army during the second world war. While in Europe he performed with military bands. He later had vocal studies at the American Theater Wing School. The first time Tony sang in a nightclub was in 1946 at the Shangri-la in Astoria. His big break came in 1949 when Bob Hope noticed him working with Pearl Bailey in Greenwich Villiage in New York City. He told Bob his name was Anthony Dominick Benedetto and Bob said “We’ll call you Tony Bennett “ and that’s how it all began. More than twenty years ago we met Tony at the Ocean County Mall. He was greeting people at the mall while his paintings were on display. My wife and I were awed by his talent. What a thrill to meet such a great performer and at the same time to see his artwork. He has performed and cranked out hits during his sixty year career. His duet albums with current artists is a tribute to him and his style. He was a performer at the last Grammy Awards show. He continues to amaze us and we just can’t wait to see what he has in store for us in the future. 732-831-1999 Serving Leisure Ridge Kitchen Refacing or New Kitchen?

I have had enough snow and freezing temperatures to last me a lifetime this past winter. The cruelest April Fools Joke I could think of would be another snowstorm! Easter is upon us, and it is time again to remember what Jesus did for us. He died for our sins, rose from the dead, and, in turn, gave us the opportunity of eternal life in Heaven. God loved the world so much that he gave us his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. Well, before I forget, let me remind you of our upcoming events in April: • Pride & Priest Dinner April 14th at Doolan’s Shore House in Spring Lake. • Flea Market at the PAC on the 18th. We will be supplying the refreshments and of course helping vendors bring in their products as usual. • Applebee’s Pancake Breakfast April 25th 8-10 AM ads-555 Tickets $8.00 per person. • We will continue to serve refreshments at the semi-monthly Bingo on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month. • We are planning a membership drive in late April. We will make announcements before the masses at St. John’s Church. • On May 30th, The Jersey Juke Box will once again be performing those oldies, that we all grew to love, Minutes Ridge floor will be open. in the Just PAC. Andfrom yes,Leisure the dance in Manchester Plaza So be there, or be square! • Finally, on the first weekend in May we will hold our P.I.D. Drive for God’s special children chaired by Dan Spina. Dan is looking for volunteers, so please put aside an hour to help with this worthwhile cause. I would like to thank everyone that supported our Lou Mattera Seminarian Fund. I hope that many of you had a chance to attend our Founder’s Day Event where we awarded scholarships to several Seminarians to help them on their road to the Priesthood. Our Baby Bottle Boom-A-Rang project was a huge success. The funds we raised from the Baby Bottle program goes to a number of different Right-to-Life Organizations such as The Open Door, Birthright and Providence House. I would like to congratulate John Torchen as being selected Knight of the Month for March. At the present time, he is holding down two positions on the board and is very active with St. Johns Church while volunteering his time in the community to help those less fortunate. John is a big guy with a big heart always willing to give rather than receive. Vinny Spera stepped down as Chancellor of the Council because the Board Trustees felt it was a conflict of interest. I am sure that he will continue to volunteer as he had in the past and will always be a valuable asset to our Council. Vinny is not only a Brother Knight but also a friend, and if he serves the Board as well as he did our Council, only good things are in store for the Community. I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter and an enjoyable Spring. Hope to see you all at the upcoming events and please make an extra effort to attend our meetings on the 2nd Thursday 7:00 PM at The Lakeside Lodge now that winter is over. May God Bless You All. Lester Olcsvary, PGK ads-555 Just Minutes from Leisure Knoll in Manchester Plaza April 2015 - The Knoll News 39 40 The Knoll News - April 2015 Preventing Your Cat from Getting Outside Cats kept exclusively indoors live longer, healthier lives than outdoor cats. If you allow your cat to go outside, he might come into contact with wild animals who carry parasites and disease, as well as other outdoor cats who may fight with him, greatly increasing his risk of getting feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Your cat might encounter predators, like dogs, foxes and coyotes, who could seriously harm or even kill him. He might be hit by a motor vehicle. He might be exposed to poisonous substances like lawn chemicals, antifreeze and rat bait. Keeping your cat indoors is the best way to prolong his life. Of course, cats don’t understand that they’re safer staying indoors, and some cats will do everything in their power to escape. This is especially true of indoor cats with a history of going outside. Your cat can learn to be happy indoors if you provide him with an enriched environment and give him opportunities to be by himself. However, if you have a cat who keeps trying to escape, it’s vital to make sure he isn’t successful! Cat-proofing your exits and deterring him from hanging around the doors are essential management steps for you to take. Another need a cat has that can affect his welfare as an indoor cat—and affect whether he attempts to escape outside—is alone time. We recognize this need in ourselves but don’t always consider it when thinking of our pets. But cats actually have a greater need for personal space and alone time than people do—it’s their nature. To meet an indoor cat’s social needs, you’ll want to provide him enough space to be comfortable and enough perching and hiding places to be alone. If you have more than one cat, you should also have multiple feeding areas, and at least one more litter box than the total number of cats you have. (In other words, if you have three cats, you should have at minimum of four litter boxes). The boxes should be in different areas rather than lined up next to each other. Your cats should also have enough high perches so that one is always available to everyone. Perches can be purchased as indoor cat “trees,” but they can also easily be created by emptying spaces on book shelves and window shelves. Lastly, use a pheromone diffuser in an area or areas where your cat frequents. Synthetic versions of cat pheromones that are released when cats rub their faces on things (like Feliway) can reduce your cat’s anxiety. If possible, use the diffuser until your cat’s escape attempts diminish. Outdoor Excursions Creating a Secure Outdoor Enclosure A secure outdoor enclosure allows your cat access to the exciting sights, sounds and smells outdoors, enlarging his home territory. Enclosures for cats should be completely enclosed, such as a screened-in porch, or constructed so the cat can’t climb up the walls and jump out. Walls should be at least seven feet high and should not be accessible to trees or climbing vines. In addition, the top of the wall should be capped with a fence ledge that angles toward the interior at least one foot, as an added deterrent for jumping and climbing cats.

However, remember that children are easily distracted by friends and variety of motion-activated alarms.

I am sorry to say that we are not doing well with the Spring Season. I had to cancel a trip to see Dirty Dancing; in Philadelphia Pa. We have three trips scheduled; they are all in the month of May: Tues. May 5th 7:30 pm, Kinky Boots at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia Pa. Sun. May 24th 4pm, Atlantic City Ballet performs “Caught in The Swing” Sun. May 31st 2pm, Tomasello Winery, Hammonton, NJ an afternoon of Opera and Broadway show tunes, while being served wine and dinner. I’m suggesting May 5th can be April’s trip and May 31st can be June’s trip. This would be discussed at our March meeting and we can go from there. At our March meeting I asked for a nominating committee to elect officers for next year. For personal reasons I will be stepping down in June and Joan Preus has already retired as Vice President. If the club is to continue, we need new people, with new ideas to keep it going.

Thank you to Gloria and Doug Watson for all your hard work in organizing the event. Please give us your feedback as to whether or not to repeat next year. NEXT up...Trivia night May 22,so put on your thinking caps and come join the fun. In case anyone has missed the past couple of issues of the Knoll News below are the things we are working on. July – This years pool party will be a Mardi Gras theme. 44 The Knoll News - April 2015 August – An evening on the River Lady / dinner cruise. Let's all hope for nice weather and a beautiful sunset. September – Will be Pizza / game night. October – How about a Tailgate Party to coincide with football? December – Is our Holiday Party. New members are always welcome, contact Marlene Zanes @ 732-408-7405. Come on out and join this great group of men and women. Wishing everyone who is celebrating a Happy Easter and Happy Passover. Nancy Bohinski Veterans Club Spring will be here shortly and all the snow will be gone. It is about time that we can start to enjoy better weather. Let me begin by informing everyone that our veterans social has been successful. Let me explain what it’s all about. The social is a gift bingo game that my wife, Janet has once a month. We are limited to approximately 40 people. The entrance fee is $15.00 and in addition you need to bring a gift of $15.00 value. However, you must call Janet in advance at 732-408-7701. This is due to the fact that she is limited to the number of participants. Gifts are exchanged and money could be won. So please watch the calendar and make sure you register with Janet. For more information keep an eye out on the creeper. All those who attended the previous social bingo had a great time. So please come down and enjoy. Some of the proceeds go to the Veterans Club for their honor guard needs and for gift prizes. Don’t forget that we are limited to 40 people, so make sure you register by calling Janet at 732-408-7701. Next will be our Memorial Day ceremony that we will be having on Monday, May 25, 2015. Our ceremony will start at 11am sharp. All members must wear your club shirts. We will be having our own color guard along with the Lakehurst naval color guard. We will be remembering our fallen brothers in Leisure Knoll and will continue this tradition on every Memorial Day. Members who have grandchildren 10 years old and under, make sure you invite them as well, because we want them to sing the National Anthem as a group for our community. Remember, we expect a big turnout. We will also be honoring all the veterans who died for our country. We also had a trip to Fort Dix for a simulation class of what our ground troops go through as part of their training. Please see attached pictures for some of the activities that we participated in. A special thanks to our teachers at the base and big thank you to our 1st VP Lew Jones for making it happen. Another trip is planned for the fall. Make sure you attend our meetings for an update of upcoming events. We want to thank the recent winners of our 50/50 drawing at our last meeting, Lew Jones and Jim Walker who donated their winning to the honor guard fund.

We, with our “long beautiful hair”, sat with friends listening to John Denver and the Doobie Brothers and Roberta Flack. Our children were almost ready for school; still creating funny little animals with Play-Doh, and bouncing on their Hoppity-Hops. As a young mother, I was trying my best to be as “natural” as possible in every respect. No hair dye, no perfume, no underwires for me. Hair spray was tossed out, and polyester was a no-no. Earth Shoes were IN, and heels were OUT. People everywhere were learning how to curb their use of water, electricity, and gasoline. Conserve, Conserve, was the new motto. I jumped on this bandwagon with gusto… determined to save the planet. Only canvas bags for food shopping, and not one scrap of paper went into the garbage. We used cloth napkins only. Recycling was embraced, knowing this would be a terrific way for my family to become environmentally conscious. I couldn’t wait for “Earth Day”, and when it finally arrived, we planted whatever perennial would grow all the while embracing the dirt gathering under our fingernails. It was then that I decided to become Mother Earth in my little corner of the world and teach my children how to live more natural and down-to-earth lives. The dye was cast (so to speak). Only unbleached flour in my kitchen. I even struggled to make my own applesauce and granola bars; hard work, but I persevered. Cholesterol was a brand-new word in our vocabulary, and although I wasn’t sure exactly what it meant, I knew one thing – no more bacon and eggs. But, not to worry, we had wonderful substitutes…turkey bacon and an exciting new product we called “Almost Eggs” which poured right out of a neat little container, no eggshells in sight! Encouraging young kids (and husbands) to eat natural foods wasn’t easy, but I just knew that I could sweet-talk them to get used to a different albeit somewhat bland taste. After all, they would thank me in the future for keeping them healthy and strong…right? Right. Then Spring arrived, and it was time for Easter Baskets. Was I ruffled or apprehensive? No! I simply marched myself to the Health Food Store, and there in front of me was a plethora of wonderful stuff – and it was all natural! Gathering the goodies (in my canvas bag) was fun. It took awhile, but I managed to substitute nearly everything one would find in a “regular” Easter Basket, with all-natural Please Patronize Our Advertisers FATHER & SON Excellent Painting Year Round snacks (althoughBenjamin some of this organic stuffPaints resembled Moore – dog 2 Coats biscuits). But no matter, I managed to complete the task at hand feeling quite accomplished and very hip. The cost was a bit excessive, but I convinced myself that it was well worth it since I was protecting my kids’ stomachs and arteries and colons. Neat Dependable We still hid the eggs, but didn’t• eat them unless they were masked in a turkey loaf or turkey salad or turkey something. At last the big moment arrived! The children Number 732-262-7553 ran to their baskets. The look on their little faces was as adorable as that yellow smiley John face logoArendt so popular at the time. But then something happened. Their questions came non-stop: “Where were the real jellybeans, and what’s this soy stuff?” “What happened to the big bunny?” “What is carob anyway? It doesn’t taste anything like chocolate! Where were the cream-filled eggs, and why are these hard, sawdust granola bars in their place?” And…horrors of all horrors…where in heaven’s name, were the PEEPS! These kids would be neither convinced nor cajoled. The Easter Bunny had failed them and I was at fault. It was the beginning of the end. As the months rolled by, I grew tired of the “Mother Earth” routine. The fact is that cotton has to be ironed, plus making applesauce from scratch resulted in tennis elbow. One needed muscles to be natural, and in my case they weren’t easy to come by. Bran-filled granola bars tasted like sticks from the back yard, and turkey bacon was just plain boring. Only one member of the family didn’t care - the dog. Ah yes, I soon faced the fact that there’s no such thing as a substitute for delicious, mouth-watering chocolate. (Confession: I’d been hiding those little marshmallow peeps in my night table drawer all along.) Finally, I had to admit that: A. Earth Shoes were not comfortable. B. Underwires can be very uplifting. C. Blondes have more fun.

It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction. The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9 Every Sudoku games begins with a number of squares already filled in, and the difficulty of each game is largely a function of how many squares are filled in. The more squares that are known, the easier it is to figure out which numbers go in the open squares. As you fill in squares correctly, options for the remaining squares are narrowed and it becomes easier to fill them in. answers on page 59 April 2015 - The Knoll News 57 58 The Knoll News - April 2015 Puzzle Solutions We accept no responsibility for any advertisements.
