Delray Villas Plat 4/5 homeowners association

From the President Sy Weiss

From the Editor Linda Solomon

It is always nice to see our “winter

birds” back in residence. Shutters are

lifted and it looks like a busy community. However,

we need to remind all our neighbors to keep their

garage doors closed when not working in there to

avoid any unwanted birds or other varmints. Car and

house doors should also be locked for your safety.

We have seen cars and trucks driving through our

streets of people who do not live here.

With that being said, we are asking residents to

keep their lollypop lights on for everyone’s safety. It

is also part of our Rules which we incorporated as of

January 2015. Speaking of which, everyone should

have received their new set of documents by now,

including AMENDED AND RESTATED DECLA-

RATION ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND

BYLAWS OF DELRAY VILLAS PLAT 4-5 HOA

INC.

Please remember garbage pickup is Wednesday

and Saturday, PLASTIC BAGS are not acceptable,

please use cans with covers. BOBCATS from the

preserve have been spotted. Let us not feed them.

We have a lot of people walking in the streets for

exercise at night - please be careful of all the traffic

on our main streets. Everyone should be wearing

light clothes or have reflectors on their clothes. You

might even carry a flash light with you.

The next HOA meeting will be the 4th Tuesday in

March. Come out and meet everyone and find out

what’s going on in your Plat. Regular board meet-

ings are the 2nd Tuesday of every month throughout

the year.

Community

Channel 8001

Is up and

running!

Channel 8001 on U-verse (formerly Channel 63

at Comcast) is now available for your perusal.

Are you recuperated from the holidays yet? Do you need

more time to “normalize” your house, your business, your

LIFE? Fret not, you still have another 10 months before Christ-

mas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa come around again! And, in the mean-

time, we can all get ready for spring cleaning - do I hear a

groan out there?

But first — February is the month in which we celebrate the

foundations of this country - we salute all of the presidents with

a special day; we commemorate the history of this nation and

the abolition of slavery throughout the month, claiming it Na-

tional African-American History Month as well as Boy Scout

Month and American Heart Month, that organ that governs our

love and St. Valentine’s Day, ensuring we pay attention to our

health and our social well being, too.

Personally, February is the month I get to celebrate the

birthdays of my dear departed father on the 2nd (Groundhog

Day) and of my dear, Bonnie on the 20th, my very own special

President! And this year, the very last day of this shortest of

months, we all don our purple, green and gold beads and masks

and celebrate the fun time of them all, Mardi Gras. Phew! A

short month with so much going on.

I wish you all a fun-filled month of joyous celebrations and

no sorrow. I wish you rainbows after the rain, ice cream sun-

daes for dessert with no calories and an eternally changing

wardrobe in your size so that you never have to wear the same

outfit twice - unless you want to. Enjoy! Linda

STAY SAFE


IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM

THE BOARD

The sidewalks can be power

washed for free. However, the mainte-

nance people must be able to use your

water when they are doing this work.

No power washing will be done with-

out a form being filled out in the rec-

reation parking lot mailbox.

The speed limit on Dusenburg and La

Salle roads will be reduced to 30 MPH.

Please protect our older folks who don’t

walk with as much surety. And don’t for-

get our mailboxes, who take the most

abuse!

Delray Villas resi-

dents: If you missed

stration of our new

AM in the gym.

As reported in the January

Ramblings, the Inspection

Committee has been out to

view the homes in our Plat and

make determinations based

upon their findings. One of

the recommendations they

made to the Board was for them to appeal to our con-

stituency concerning our roofs. With time and hurri-

canes, massive winds and rain, some of our roofs have

been neglected. It’s easy to see when a house needs

paint; but, sometimes we forget the house’s top hat, the

roof. Therefore, the Board is strongly suggesting that we

all look up at our roofs as well as the paint on the house

and the windows and clam shell shutters to ensure that

our house is in good repair. Maintaining our homes en-

hances our community and increases its value, some-

thing we all want.

There are several ways roofs can be maintained. You

can purchase the appropriate chemicals on your own and

do it yourself or have your handyperson do it. Or you

can have it done professionally. If you choose the latter,

Carol Michalic (561-270-7211) has the names of some

reliable companies. Give her a call if you have any

questions.

Sharon’s Read submitted by SHARON O’HALLORAN

DELRAY VILLAS CLUB NEWS

Not All Bastards are from Vienna By Andrea Molesini

One night in the fall of 1917 German

troops turn up on horseback, in trucks and

on motorcycles to take control of a small

Italian town, Refrontolo, and to occupy the

estate of the Spada family. Molesini’s novel

is inspired by his great aunt Maria’s war

time journals, privately published as Diary

of an Invasion. The narrator is Paolo, or-

phaned by the death of his parents, who has

come to reside at the villa Spada. In the

household are two grandparents; Aunt Maria and three ser-

vants, Therese, her daughter Loretta and mysterious Renato.

Grandma is a strong ‘panther of a woman’ who loves mathe-

matics and her weekly enemas. She has enjoyed the company

of one or two paramours and is now frequently visited by the

‘third paramour.’ And her enema bags prove handy when it

comes to hiding valuables. Grandfather is acerbic and anti-

clerical often retreating to his Thinking Den where he is at-

tempting to write a novel. Dona Maria is intelligent and re-

sourceful but also the ‘victim of a haughty manner.’ She loves

horses more than people and in many ways has more in com-

mon with both the German and then the Hungarian majors in

charge of the billeted army. Theresa, the family cook, is loyal

and devoted and able to mange to continue to feed the family

Talk of the Town by BOB TOWNSEND

THE TWILIGHT

ZONE? “There is a fifth dimension be-

yond that which is known to

man. It is a dimension as vast as

space and as timeless as infinity. It is the mid-

dle ground between light and shadow, between science and su-

perstition, and it lies between the pit of men’s fears and the sum-

mit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagina-

tion. It is the area which we call. . .”

o!

No!

No!

This is not The Twilight Zone!

I just wanted to set the mood for the bazaar, supernatural

story that I’m about to tell:

Going back many years ago, my wife, Ronnie, was in the

sixth grade in gym class.

The kids were going to be

square dancing and Ronnie

was paired off with Col-

leen. They were instructed

to take one another’s hand

and Colleen who was

Catholic, refused to take

the hand of Ronnie, who was Jewish, because Ronnie, in Col-

leen’s eyes was a “Christ killer.”

Ronnie burst into tears and both girls were sent to the princi-

pal’s office. The mothers were called in and there was a forced

apology.

Ronnie never forgot the incident. She has recalled it for me in

vivid detail, through the years on several occasions. I could feel

her hurt.

Now, on December 25th, Ronnie received an instant message

on Facebook from the one-and-only former schoolmate who

refused to take her hand all those years ago. It read:

“Happy Hanukkah, I have never forgotten what I said to you

in grade school. Please

forgive me. I was young

and brainwashed by the

Catholic school.” It was

signed, “Love, Colleen.”

To which Ronnie re-

plied: “Omg, Colleen. You

just made me cry. I never

forgot that day either. I tell

a lot of people about it be-

cause it always stuck with

me all these years. And I cannot thank you enough for your mes-

sage. You have no idea how awesome it was to get this from

you. I would love for us to be friends. Merry Christmas and

happy new year.”

And Colleen responded: “I can’t tell you how bad I felt as the

years went by! I am so glad you want to be friends. I am so

happy I reached out to you.”

Then Colleen posted for all the world to

see (or at least that portion of the world who

are her Facebook friends): “When I was in

elementary school, I refused to dance with

(Ronnie) because she was Jewish and the

Jewish people killed my Christ. This was 55

years ago. I have never forgotten what I

said. . . I made a connection today to that

little girl and she had never forgotten nei-

ther. I apologized and she was touched. She extended her

hand and offered to be friends. What a wonderful present of

friendship she gave me.”

I know I told you this wasn’t The Twilight Zone, but, if it

were, this is where Rod Sterling would meander in front of the

camera and say:

“Some people would say this unlikely bonding after 55

years was the result of the convergence of Christmas and the

beginning of Hanukkah on the same day. Some would tell you

that it was produced by the same oil that fueled the Hanukkah

miracle. And still others would say it was the result of the

ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future uniting to pro-

mote unprecedented good will. But all of these theories would

be wrong. These declarations of understanding, sincere re-

morse and true forgiveness are no more than everyday hap-

penings in The Twilight Zone!”

(continued from page 5, column 2)

on limited resources. Her daughter, Loretta, is more resentful

and in the end more treacherous. Renato, family steward, is

more mysterious and it is he who draws Paolo into dangerous

involvement with the resistance and its attempts to rescue a

downed British pilot. Then there is Giulia, who has gone from

being the object of a scandal in Vienna to the object of Paolo’s

desires. Paolo romanticizes his involvement with the resistance

as a way to win Giulia and finally to lose his virginity.

The village experiences the atrocities from an occupying

army: women are raped, homes are looted, food is scarce. At

Villa Spada they are spared for awhile what the village experi-

ences but are subject to the degradation imposed on them by an

occupying force. Life in Villa Spada and Refrontolo is a micro-

cosm of what conquering forces inflict on civilians. The family

becomes more drawn into the resistance, devising ways to com-

municate troop movements through the hanging of the laundry.

Maria continues to converse with the officers in order to dis-

tract them from the other activities. As the Germans withdraw

and the Hungarians take over the occupation and the war begins

to go against them things become more dangerous and deadly.

Life goes on in the occupied house and village, But in the vil-

lage soldiers rape and pillage and the only remaining figure of

authority is the village priest, who has only been known for his

noxious breath, but as the story proceeds shows strength and

courage.

There is humor as the family rails against the ‘misbegotten

mangel-wurzel mashers’ occupying the Villa and the country

but also great tension. There is menace lurking beneath Captain

Korpium and Major von Feilitzsch’s thin veneer of charm.

While the most memorable scenes are where life is threatened

or cut short, there are also protracted bouts of pleasure in

Paolo’s blossoming romance with Giulia.

An air of suspense gathers as the Spadas are drawn more

into the resistance, eavesdropping, sending coded signals and

carrying messages. Paolo is sent on a dangerous mission and

the family oversteps the boundary of immunity granted by their

class with fatal consequences Twenty miles away the Battle of

Piave of June 1918 has begun. Here the Italian army, with al-

lied support, is able to halt the enemies’ advance in a victory

that strikes a mortal blow to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Both Dona Maria and the Major are keenly aware that this war

is destroying the old order and its civilized way of life. The

world will not be the same as it was.

Molesinis’ language is simple and lovely and his story draws

the reader in close to the family. Gripping, harrowing and

touching the novel illustrates the importance of family bonds

and national pride while also revealing that divided loyalty

comes at a price. This is also a coming of age novel as the adult

narrator, Paolo Spada, looks back on the story through the eyes

of his 17 year old self, describing events with just the right mix

of understanding, naiveté and desire for grown up adventure a

boy on the cusp of manhood would have in that situation.
