President’s MessageBy Susan Morrow

When the green leaves on the trees in Michigan begin to turn into beautiful fall colors my mind immediately thinks…When do we leave for Florida? In the past newsletters I have highlighted the many volunteers who make life in VHL come alive. I have talked about the folks who serve on the Board and who chair or serve on the many committees. In this article I would like to mention and thank the many people who teach classes, chair different events, both weekly and special, and the people who keep all these activities straight on the calendar!

The event calendar is the responsibility of the Recreation Committee Chairperson who is Beverly Wallace. She has been chairing this committee since 2009 and she does an outstanding job. If anyone, perhaps you, has an idea for an event or class they should contact Beverly first to make sure there are no conflicts with similar events, the date, or the time or the location. Even group trips which are not part of the Recreation Committee responsibility should be placed on the Recreation calendar. This calendar is also managed by Darlene Philips, our Office Manager.

Here is a list of some of the classes or groups or events which are already on the 2014-15 calendar as well as the contact person’s name.

Bingo – Paul Santaniello Boat Club – George Bunton Bocce – Dale Sherman Book Club – Jean Leader Bowling – Monique Uecker Party Bridge (Tuesday) – Mary (Betty) Molnar Party Bridge (Thursday) – Earl Schmidt Ceramics – OPEN Court Whist – Bob & Marjory Mitchell CPR – Don Teague Cribbage – Marty Noble Dulcimer – Eileen Glowacki Euchre – Sammy Lipari Discussion Group – Max Plamondon Golf (Hills) – M. Neill & P. Santaniello Horseshoes – Dean Larrabee Knitting – Treva Heichel Ladies Billiards – Loretta Plamondon Ladies Golf -Mary Reeves/Peggy Larrabee/ Vicki Wilson

Line Dancing – Christine Connolly

As you can see from this list there is probably something for everyone!! If you don’t see something you would like to learn or do, please contact Beverly.

The VHL Board of Directors will begin their regular meeting schedule by having a work session on the

first Tuesday of each month and a regular meeting on the second Tuesday of each month beginning October 7 and 14. Both of these meetings are open to anyone who would like to listen or comment to the Board. They both begin at 8:30am in the Board Room at the Recreation Center. The main focus of the Board is the selection of a new Village Manager.

Are the leaves turning in your part of the world? Are you ready to head south to VHL? Whether you are already in VHL or on your way I invite you to find someplace, somewhere you might like to participate in the activities at VHL…and THANKS to everyone who makes this part or our program happen.

Susan Morrow, President 2014-15 [email protected] 616-916-3634

...president’s message from cover

Manager's COrnerNancy Leighton, CAM

Since this will be my last Manager's Corner I want to use this space to thank the Village for the many years I have worked here. Big thanks go to a terrific staff, Darlene, Stacy, Mike as well as James and our newest member Berchell. They are hard working and pride in

their work is a given. The goal of all of the staff, including myself, was and is to create and maintain a first class community. I believe we

have accomplished this goal.Over the years a great deal has been accomplished and

this happened with cooperation and foresight. Working with many different Board members over the years has been an overall positive experience. Most of the time we all agreed and sometimes we didn't agree but we all got the job done.

I would name all of the fabulous folks I consider friends but I would not want to leave out even one name so I will just thank you from the bottom of my heart for a wonderful 12 years.

FLU sHOtsBy Paul and Mary Jane Dow

It's that time of year again to get out FLU SHOTS. The Village will be having a clinic on Wednesday, November 5th from 9-10am in the CRAFT ROOM. This is free for Medicare recipients. You are required to bring your card.

FLOWer FUndBy Diane Piscopothinking of You Card was sent to:

prayers. A $25 donation is made to Englewood Meals On Wheels for any owners who have passed. Also, be sure and let the Office know of anyone who is sick, recouping or in rehab who you think should be sent a card!! Thanks!

On a personal note I just want to say that anyone who

is sick or passes away here in the Village has a special place in someone's heart if not many. Alby Caterina was my Cribbage partner and I will miss him very much. He had a special place in my heart!

tHank YOUBy Dottie Caterina

I want to thank all the people at VHL for all the beautiful cards of sympathy for my husband Alby. I also want to thank you all for you kind thoughts and prayers. You all are such great friends. God Bless you all!

tHank YOUBy Esther Whittum

My thanks to everyone for their help, cards and all the other nice things they did to help me after my fall. Things are almost back to normal now but I have to keep up with therapy for a while. I also want to give special thanks to Nancy Leighton and Pat Neill for their assistance and kindness extended to me the day I spent in the hospital.

Sincerely, Esther Whittum

"dOWn tHe garden PatH"Submitted by Duane Plummer

As the Snow Birds begin to come down, so do bird migrations begin. We have seen the first Ruby-throated hummingbird in our yard on Candace and in checking my records, that's about on time. They migrate through, feeding for a few days, then continue on to Mexico and Central America, making the 600 mile trip across the Gulf of Mexico.

To attract them to your yard, plant Firebush, Jatropha, or Tecomaria, all with red or orange tube flowers which they use. All are sold in garden centers during the year.

Firebush grows to be quite a large bush, so put it away from your house. Jatropha can be a small tree or shrub. The tecomaria will bloom in winter and early spring, providing food for hummers on their way back north. It is a viney shrub that can be controlled as a shrub. Butterflies are also attracted to the same plants. Just Google all three plants to learn more.

As you begin to clean up your yards, remember, please leave all green fronds on your palms. Remove only brown ones. And please don't use cypress mulch. More on this later.

FLOrida’s FabULOUs trees Submitted by Dee Cook

As you know the Tree Committee has been involved with the planting of many trees in our Village of Holiday Lake. Florida has so many beautiful as well as useful trees from which to choose. We really appreciate your response and contributions towards this effort. Over the summer we have seen some adaptation to our environment and also some hesitation by the newly planted trees. We are watching as some lose their leaves and others bloom. With the loving care of staff and interested participants we hope to provide living space for many more trees and to see them flourish.

For anyone interested in purchasing a wonderful colorful book I recommend “Florida’s Fabulous Trees Their Stories” by W. Williams. It was one of the first books I purchased aside from the one on Seashells when I came to Florida. Every year I add one from this series to my collection. When you look at the marvelous photography perhaps you will understand the excitement I wish to share with you. Some of you who have had

the privilege of living many years here will recognize the blossoms of flowering trees and the majesty of the palms.

Yes, I know there are those of you who can’t stand palms for any number of reasons….too much care and trimming, dropping of fronds and blossoms, and whatever your pet peeve is. So I encourage you to consider the future and look at the beauty in the blossoms of the Tree of Gold – Tabebuia , Royal Poinciana – Delonix regia, Frangipani – Plumeria, Golden Rain Tree – Koelreuteria elegans, Orange Geiger Tree – Cordia sebesteria, Jacaranda – Jacaranda mimosifolia, Shefflera – Brassaia actinophylla,Bottlebrush – Callistemon spp. Hog Kong Orchid – Bauhinia blakeana, Golden Shower Tree – Cassia fistula and Magnolia. These trees along with many others including various palms, maple, oak, and eucalyptus are already part of our environment. Look around and take notice of what we enjoy.

Do you remember that I told you before Tom and I moved to Florida we planted a thousand trees on our property in Michigan?

"Quotes"Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate. If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.By the time you make ends meet, they move the ends.This is as bad as it can get, but don't count on it.The trouble with life is, you're halfway through it before you realize it's a do-it-yourself. No amount of advance planning will ever replace dumb. Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing him. If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.If it is true that we learn from our mistakes, then I will soon be a genius.

LiMP dUCk "Quoted from the Internet"

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed

away." The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet.. "How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!" The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150."

angry WifeQuoted from "The Parrot"

The angry wife met her husband at the door. There was alcohol on his breath and lipstick on his collar. "I assume," she snarled, "that there is a very good reason for you to come waltzing in here at six o'clock in the morning?" "There is," he replied. "Breakfast!"

three guys in a truckQuoted from "The Parrot"

Three guys are riding in their truck, drinking beer, having a good ol' time. The driver looks in the mirror and sees the flashing lights of a police car so he pulls over. The other two are real nervous. "What do we do with our beer? We're in trouble!" "No," the driver says, "just do this: pull the label off of your beer bottle and stick it to your forehead and let me do the talking." So they all pull the labels off their bottles and stick 'em to their foreheads.

The policeman walks up and says, "You boys were swerving down the road. Have you been drinking?" The driver says, "Oh, no officer," and points to his forehead, "we're on the patch, trying to quit."

CHiCken enCHiLadas WitH sOUr CreaM WHite saUCeingredients:• 10 small soft flour tortillas (you can use corn but I like flour with chicken)• 3 tablespoons flour• 2 cups chicken broth• 1 cup sour cream• 2 1/2 cups shredded and cooked chicken (we like to use rotisserie chicken)• 3 cups Monterey Jack cheese – shredded• 3 tablespoons butter• 4oz can diced green chilies (I like medium – they are not spicy at all)

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, stir flour into butter and whisk for 1 minute over heat.5. Add broth and whisk together. Cook over heat until it’s thick and bubbles up.6. Take off heat and add in sour cream and chilies. (be careful it’s not too hot or the sour cream will curdle).7. Pour mixture over enchiladas and add remaining cheese to top.8. Bake in oven for 20-23 minutes then you will want to broil for 3 minutes to brown the cheese.9. Enjoy!
