Letter
of Commendation for Frank Cuff Read at Board Meeting
To Board
of Directors
Lakeside Manor Condominium Association
The purpose of this letter is to commend Mr.
Frank Cuff for the wonderful work he continually does for all of us
here at Lakeside Manor.
Ever since he and his wife Isabelle moved in, they have been the leading
force of not only the social events, but the immaculate upkeep of the
facilities.
You can set your watch on Frank’s punctuality in the morning with
the pool and surrounding areas.
Everything is very neat and tidy mostly because he is watchful during
the day also of what might need to be done.
He puts trash out on trash days, cleans the restrooms, the pool itself,
and washing the different areas, including the cement floors around the
swimming pool, as well as watering the plants.
These are only a few of what Frank does daily and weekly. If he did not
volunteer for these tasks, it would cost the association thousands of
dollars yearly.
Those of us who have served on the Board can testify that it is a thankless
job and very few folks even realize what goes on behind the scenes with
the various situations and potential problems which must be addressed
and solved.
I commend the entire board on their unending service and especially Frank.
Sincerely,
Mrs.
Hari K. Bird

NOTE
PAD
Important Factoids
Many
of the states require Sellers to provide prospective Buyers with
a written disclosure
statement covering working condition of items such
as appliances, structural defects and modifications, possible easements,
nuisance-noise
flooring in upper story units, neighborhood problems and
other material fact that may affect the principal's decision to purchase.
Most states require disclosure of deaths, as well, and not just the ones
from unnatural causes. If a natural death occurred in the house within
the
past three years, it needs to be disclosed -- right up there with whether
unleaded paint is on the walls if the home was built before 1978 and
whether any termite or other infestations have ever occurred. As a seller,
it's important to be up front about your home's flaws -- even the ones
you
have paid to correct. It's a good way to avoid the risk of future legal
actions.
And it also underscores the importance, if you are a buyer, of doing your
due
diligence and investigating every disclosure your seller is required to
make.
Due
to the power and corrupting influence of Big
Pharma, the teaching
of nutritional science and the use of vitamin and herbal supplements is
not taught to any significant extent in our medical schools. The obvious
reason is that less use of their prescription
drugs would be the result.
Helpful
Hints
When the summer approaches, you need to clean your air conditioner
drain every 30 days with white vinegar, followed by a quart of warm water
to clean out the sludge.
Use
1 cup of undiluted white vinegar. When you pour the vinegar and then the
water on the pan or down the drain pipe, depending on the model of your
air handler, you will see the sludge actually come out the drainpipe outside
your unit.
This
action can save costly repair bills. And don’t forget if you are
on the ground floor, to check and see that the drain outlet is clear of
soil and debris. If not, ask someone to clean it out for you if you are
not able to complete the task yourself. If you need further instruction,
don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Bird at 407-628-4443 and he will be
happy to instruct you over the phone. See also Computer
Tips.
Another reminder … if you're on the second floor especially, be
sure to take note of when your hot water heater was purchased-installed.
A smart thing to do is to put the date on the unit itself with a permanent
marker pen. The water heater is one thing we all tend to forget about
until there is a leak or malfunction.
When an upper floor has a water leak, as has happened too many times in
the past, it can leak through the ceiling to the lower floor. Sometimes
no one becomes aware of the problem until the ceiling falls into the downstairs
unit.
It becomes a crisis at this point, which requires major repairs and major
expenses for the downstairs unit owner, and it could result in legal action
against the offending unit owner in order to recover the cost of repairs.
Some
owners replace their hot water heaters every 10 years, knowing that the
life expectancy is not very much longer. Units belonging to absentee owners
can be vacant for long periods of time, so this is a smart idea.
Recently,
a ground floor owner just happened to have a housekeeper over to clean
before returning after a few weeks away. An upstairs leak was found that
nobody knew was leaking. The second floor unit is owned by an absentee
owner. A few more days, and there would have been a severe mold and mildew
problem and major reconstruction would have been needed.
Boric acid + Sugar is the recommended mix (3 parts Borax to 1 part sugar)
for getting rid of roaches. It's extremely effective because the Borax
acts similarly to commercial roach killing sprays by dehydrating the pests'
exoskeleton. The sugar just acts as a bait. The borax is a pretty safe
product, too.
Lest
We Forget
Congratulations
to the Lakeside Manor Social Committee (and volunteers): Jan, Isabelle,
Frank, Pat, Betty, Bill, Matt, Jenna, Carl, Dave, Joan, Julio, Sada, Eleanor,
Mary, Jean, and Kay for their hard work with the latest “Yard Sale”.
Over $500.00 was sold and the newly acquired funds will be used for replacement
of signs around the complex, new flowers (we have already seen many of
them) and various other social events to come. Thanks again, folks …
you are all great.
And thanks again to Frank Cuff for
his never-ending volunteer work keeping our swimming area, clubhouse roof
top, and parking area around the pool clean, and free of leaves during
this past “windy” and leaf-blown season.
Also, thanks to Frank and Julio for repairing the buoys in the lake and
adding chains and cement blocks to keep them upright and in good repair.

For Today
"Do
not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
in
anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe
in
anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do
not believe
in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not
believe in
traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But
after
observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason
and is
conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live
up to it.” Siddhartha

Manor maintenance chief, Dan Sadler, with a special recognition for long-time
Lake Killarney resident, Clyde Woody as well as Lionel Nelson, retired
USPS carrier for the Lake Killarney community.
The Cuff's
Frank
W. Cuff married his wife, Isabelle, in November of 1955. They have four
kids and eight grand kids. Three of them live in the Orlando area and
another in California.
Frank
and Isabelle bought a home in Winter Park back in 1959, which they sold
and moved to Lakeside Manor in December 1992.
Frank
trained and raced harness horses each winter at the old Ben White Raceway
on Lee Road, in Orlando, until 1970.
He retired
from Winter Park Sprint Telephone in November of 1992 as Material and
Fleet Manager. Frank's a member of the Central Florida Blood Bank ...
73 gallons and counting ... and both Frank and Isabelle are members of
the St. Margaret Mary Church of Winter Park, where they do volunteer work.
They
like to attend their grand kids' frequent and varied sports activities
and they share a very close relationship with their entire family by way
of cookouts for which Isabelle 'just loves' to cook.
Frank
and Isabelle are among the most active Lakeside Manor members and have
been long time members of the Social Committee. They've served many hours
at planting flowers and beautifying the Lakeside Manor property, as well.
Many
thanks, to Frank and Isabelle Cuff and congratulations on your upcoming
56th wedding anniversary!
The Wright's
David
Wright and his wife, Joan, were married in September, 1995. Between them,
they now have nine children, twenty-two grand kids and two great grand
kids. Needless to say, Christmas is 'down-Wright' expensive! Especially
since all of them are up North. The Wright's make a journey twice a year,
at least, to see everybody.
David
is a retired sound and video engineer, Joan a retired legal secretary.
David is now back on his feet after successful hip replacement surgery.
We all
look forward to seeing Dave around and about Lakeside Manor real soon.
Best
wishes, Dave and Joan!
