I am pleased to welcome our new Board Secretary, Paula Pagos #92 to the

Sausalito Board of Directors. She was appointed at the last Board Meeting.

Some of her many credentials include:

She has also been leading the Orientation

Committee in Jerry Capodieci’s absence.

Assisting Paula is one of our new resident’s Sharon Greene #36.

A very special welcome to our new Property Manager, Kristine Elliott LCAM.

Thank you to Al Mincarelli #77 and James Gonzalez #8 for stepping up to the

plate and joining Jane Salimbene #78 and Karen Austin #91 on the ARC.

If you were unable to attend our Board Meeting on August 26th, please read

the minutes which are always posted on the Bulletin Board outside the Club-

house. We are always interested in hearing from you

We encourage everyone to share any ideas, events, improvements, a wish list

etc., for Sausalito Place. Feel free to email me at

Next Board meeting is scheduled for September 23rd at 7 pm.

Sherry Zabriskie, President

Let there be light! Have you noticed the two new fixtures outside the club-

house?

VIDEO EDITION

In the spirit of using the

technology you are given,

as we are no longer a pa-

per edition, we have add-

ed video capabilities to

the Sun. On page six, Al

Mincarelli authored an

article on our clubhouse

exercise equipment. He

sent me a video demon-

strating proper usage.

Instead of just pointing

you to a link, we embed-

ded the link in this edi-

tion. Just click on the

picture of the equipment

and it will play. Welcome

to 2021.

Landscape Committee

Hello Folks!

We’re making progress with the transformation of

the community. One tree at a time. Carlton Tree

Service did an amazing job with the hurricane tree

trimming, and I can’t say enough about our new

landscaping company Xtreme.

Some trees had to be removed due to disease and just getting old (as we all are doing). Some were

replaced with a different look. I want to thank all

the residents with their kind words and it is much

appreciated. Next on the punch list is the Ficus

hedges on the East & West side parameters. They

are well over due for a major cut. It may take

awhile but I can assure you, it will get done.

Have a great day!

Lisa Mincarelli, Director of Landscaping

Architectural Review Committee

With Chuck (Henry) all set for a new adventure in

South Carolina, and Paula taking the position of

Board Secretary (and ARC Liaison) on the HOA,

please join us in welcoming new members of the

Architectural Review Committee: Al Mincarelli and

James Gonzalez.

Don’t forget that if you would like to make any ex-

terior changes to your home, simply pick up an

ARC form from the clubhouse (where there is also

a drop-box for completed forms). If you’re hiring a

contractor, please remember that a copy of their

current license and insurance must be provided

before any work can begin. This protects both

homeowner and the HOA and should be attached

to the ARC form. Your contractor will provide you

with this documentation. The committee will look

at your request and get back to you as soon as they

can. Work can commence when approval is grant-

ed – easy! Your ARC members are:

• Karen Austin

• James Gonzalez

• Paula Pagos

• Jane Salimbene

New Roof Aids Resale

By Cathy Henry #45

Here's a little tidbit for that you all might find

useful. During the process of selling our home,

the fact that we had a new roof was certainly a

plus.

The roof, which was replaced by Legacy, has a

non-transferable limited workmanship warranty.

However, after contacting Legacy, we discovered

that the warranty can be transferred, at a cost, of

course, and after an inspection. The cost is

$500.00 and the inspection is to make sure that

no damage has occurred since replacement. I

was told, in particular, they are looking for any-

thing an exterminator might have done to inter-

fere with the integrity of the roof. Also, they want to make sure no damage was done

by anyone walking on the roof.

Happy Birthday Boynton Just to see if you were paying attention I slipped in a

birthday greeting for our town (September 26). On

that day in 1898 Byrd and Fred Dewey filed the

original plat in Dade County courthouse for the

Town of Boynton. We became incorporated in

1920, but the origins of the town are 123 years old.

“Boynton Beach” was not used until 1938 when a

separate community broke away from the Town of

Boynton. So we have a typical chaotic Florida his-

tory. Now we are approaching 80,000 in popula-

tion with the traffic to go with it. Happy Birthday,

little town. You are all grown up now.

Citizen Observer Patrol News

The Citizen Observer Patrol (COP) is comprised of volunteers

from both Sausalito Place and the adjacent Royal Manor

development. Our volunteers are “deputized” by the

Boynton Beach Police Department, wear a uniform, and drive

a car provided by the police

on patrol in our develop-

ments. No weapons are

carried, and our sole job is

to observe and report any

suspicious activities to the

police dispatcher via cell

phone. If you are interest-

ed in joining, contact Lieu-

tenant Joe Ramos at: 561-

742-2442.

Our crew is back on the road, patrolling both Sausalito

Place and our partners over at Sea Meadow (formerly

Royal Manor). Our drivers logged 88 hours on the

road for the month of July. Sausalito Place accounted

for 53 of those hours. Joe Ramos led the way with 23.5

hours himself, nearly half of the total. Kudos to the

rest of our crew who did their part for July:

Jack Kenny

Sydelle Atlas

Scotty McGurk

Al Mincarelli

Pat Mitchell

George Salimbene

There are more of you out there, I can hear you breath-

ing. We have lots of hours to fill, so when you are

ready, get behind the wheel and get those monthly

hours over 100 again.

Congrats to Lieutenant Joe Ramos, who earned his 900

hour pin in July. At the rate he is going, he should have

his 1,000 hour pin by the end of the year. Way to go,

Joe.

We welcome Joe Green (#17) to the team.

Scam of the Month by Officer Denise Schrecengost,

Boynton Beach Police

Spot the Homoglyph

Microsoft recently announced legal

action against domains that impersonate the brand

using homoglyphs. A homoglyph is a letter or char-

acter that closely resembles another letter or char-

acter. Cybercriminals use homoglyphs to trick you

into thinking a domain belongs to a trusted compa-

ny.

Here’s an example: Scammers could use a zero (0)

in place of a capital letter “O” or they could use a

lowercase letter “L” in place of a capital letter “i”.

Using these examples, the bad guys can imperson-

ate MICROSOFT[dot]COM as MlCR0S0FT[dot]

COM. Some cybercriminals take this method one

step further by using characters from other lan-

guages. For example, the Russian character “Ь”

could be used in place of an English letter “b”.

Don’t fall for this trick! Remember the tips below:

Be cautious when you receive an email that you

were not expecting. This trick can be used to im-

personate any company, brand, or even a person’s

name.

Before you click, always hover over a link to pre-

view the destination, even if you think the email is

legitimate. Pay close attention to the characters in

the URL.

If you’re asked to log in to an account or an online

service, navigate to the official website and log in

there. That way, you can ensure you’re logging in

to the real website and not a phony look-alike web-

site.

Landscape Improvements

There have been lots of compliments on the landscape enhancements within our

community. Here is a side-by-side visual comparison to indicate how much we

have changed… for the better. Photos by Lisa Mincarelli #77.

Before: A little scruffy and thin. After: Rich and colorful.

Exercise Safety

We have a small, but nicely appointed gym in the clubhouse. Al Mincarelli found a great video online that demonstrates how to use the very same equip-ment we have. He explains: This video provides the user with proper lifting technique and its various exercise ca-pabilities for each muscle group. This is the machine we have at our fitness center. There may be slight variation but basic routine can be used for safe toning and cardiovascular fitness when used as de-signed. Please do NOT over-lift. Please do NOT bang the weights. Use light weight and many reps for best and SAF-EST results. Upload the video onto your mobile device and take it to the fitness center with you. Take care of our fitness center and the fitness center will take care of YOU. Play more tennis,
