Eaton Pool…the perfect place to meet, swim, sun & exercise
There are 26 villages in the Mill but only two with a pool: Luckily, Eaton happens to be one and it’s in walking distance of every resident .It’s like having your own private pool without the problem of maintaining it. From Memorial to Labor Day, the pool invites residents to come and have fun in the sun (or in the shade under an umbrella). And come they do! Something for Everyone The pool provides different pleasures for different people. Some come to chat and enjoy a little water breeze. Some read, some nap and some water-walk across the pool to cool off. Others bring grandchildren or guests to share a swim or lunch. It’s not the size of an Olympic pool but serious swimmers can do their laps as long as they schedule them at a time when the coast is clear. When

the coast is clear. When the coast is not clear is on the mornings when Gayle Ulrich holds her water exercise class. Water Exercise Class Pat Slotterback led a similar class a few years back. When Pat moved to Wellington, Gayle hated to see the program end and schooled herself to lead a program. She purchased training tapes and gleaned what she could from friends who had attended similar workouts. The result is a 45-minute class at 11:00 AM on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (weather permitting). A group of 10 to 15 “regulars” stretch, bend and ride “noodles” to laughter and good health. All are welcome, Wednesday Night Gatherings It’s social time at the pool. every Wednesday night at 5:00 PM, With six large tables, and some 36 chairs waiting for you, all you have do is bring your beverages and a snack for six to be set for a good time. Come on Wednesday and see.

FAQs
Q. My alarm is beeping. What should I do? A. 99 times out of 100 the beeping is coming from a battery powered smoke detector. The beeping indicates that the battery is nearing its end of life. The only secure way to stop the beeping is to replace the 9-‐volt battery.
Q. Is there a way to test the battery without removing it? A. No. There is no practical way to test the 9-‐volt battery in or out of the smoke detector. It must be replaced to stop the beeping and continue its important detection function.
Q. How do I know which smoke detectors contain batteries? A. The detectors that do NOT have batteries, have small cylindrical cage-‐like-‐structures on the bottom, flash a green light every 5 seconds, do not beep, and should not be removed. All other smoke detectors have 9-‐volt batteries.
ARCHITECTURE COMMITTEE John Vautier and Jim Myers When you think about updating or making improvements to your home,. Please remember to contact John Vautier or Jim Myers before doing anything to the outside of your unit. They will make sure you have the proper architectural form to submit.
DISTRIBUTION COMMITTEE Nancy Wall and Nancy Cook No new deliveries are planned but we’re ready and willing to perform them whenever the need arises.
FINANCE COMMITTEE Joe Jorda, Joe Silio, Carol Vandergast The recently formed committee, which reports to Council, is to oversee financial activities of our Village and advise and assist Council on financial management, planning and control for smooth operation of Village affairs. This includes working with our
Property Manager to develop the Operating and Reserve Funds, annual budgets and review Village monthly revenues and expenses, making recommendations to Council. The committee will also suggest reliable investment and banking and options.
LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE Nancy Reynolds Now that the rhododendrons and azaleas have been pruned, the next project will be the pruning of all the other shrubs. This will take place in the near future. We have received many compliments from outsiders about how lovely our village looks. This is due to our very competent landscaper and volunteers who look out for problems. Again, thank you for your patience and cooperation.
MAINTENANCECOMMITTEE Tom Kelley This past spring, the maintenance committee conducted a survey of the garage-‐mounted street lights. It found that about 80 of the lanterns mounted in unprotected locations were deteriorating from rust in varying degrees. Fortunately, the problem was detected before expensive replacement of these fixtures was necessary. To date, the committee has refurbished 25 of the most seriously affected lights. This refinishing process, though slow, will continue until all 80 lanterns have been brought back to better than original condition. Cost to our village is for materials only.
One of our volunteers is making the rounds of the mailboxes, touching up paint scratches that have occurred since last year’s extensive painting project With the expansion of our volunteer membership, we are able to return to the earlier process for addressing roof leaks. If you have a roof leak, call the maintenance chairman and a roof-‐knowledgeable
member will schedule a meeting with you to assess the leak and advise you regarding the repair process.
SOCIAL/WELCOME COMMITTEE Ann Shank and Lila Greenwald The Summer Pool Party theme was a beach celebration with pails of sand, shells and tiny umbrellas. Mounds of tasty food, supplied by the guests, more than satisfied fifty people. Thumbs up to Vinnie, the engaging and talented musician who performed a superb choice of songs.
LAMPLIGHTER COMMITTEE Betty Parry, Mary Ellen Vautier, Doug Rhoads and Jim Myers Please call Mary Ellen Vautier or Betty Parry if you know of an outside Village light that needs replacing. Then Doug Rhoads or Jim Myers will drag out a ladder to replace the bulbs. On behalf of the Village we would like to thank Tom Kelley for restoring garage light fixtures that needed attention.
POOL COMMITTEE Richard Dixon and Bill Dettwyler Dick and Bill want to thank the women who take such good care of the flowers. Each week, one of eight volunteers waters and maintains the eye-‐catching container gardens on the pool deck. Also, many thanks to all the folks who helped clean the debris from the pool and pool deck following the storms on July 7th and 8th.
UNIT WATER USUAGE COMMITTEE Everett Marsh and John Greenwald Water cost: 2005 $31m vs 2010 $40m. (Nearly same usage) Mid-‐May Comparison
2010 2011 Dollars $16,610 -‐ $17,445 Gallons 2,033m -‐ 1,942m
We are using less water but it will cost $2000 more in 2011. We can’t control the rate only the usage. Conservation suggestions will be forthcoming.

Profile on Irene Jones
The Del Rios—Phil, Irene and Jay --pose for a publicity shot in the early 1940s’. Irene and Jay Jones (right) married after a WWII separation.
The saying goes, “timing is everything in dance”. Irene Jones abandoned her life in show business after six years. Irene appeared relaxed and amused as she remembered vividly those “days on the road”. Performing in a trio with two male partners, called the Del Rios, her specialty was a combination of dance and acrobatics. They were the originators of “New Trend in Motion”. Their trademark moves thrilled audiences from coast to coast in all the best theaters and clubs, receiving glowing reviews. It’s easy to imagine Irene in her striking gown, covered in beads that quivered with every movement and accompanied by her two partners in black tie. During WWII, the Del Rios traveled by bus or Pullman, performing in top-reviewed USO camp shows. They were on stage
with famous headliners such as Ray Bolger, Ozzie Nelson, Keenan Wynn and “handsome” Peter Lawford. The trio’s dance wizardry was described in a 1943 newspaper review: “The Del Rios, two men and a very attractive girl combine dance spins and lifts of rare synchronization and smoothness with feats of balancing topped by a three-high stand. Done to music, the girl stands on one partner’s shoulders and does a back-bend to provide the foundation for partner #2’s handstand after he makes a somewhat perilous ascent”. Irene was raised in Connecticut by a mother who encouraged her to enroll in dance at six-years old, taking tap and acrobatics. Further study in New York City helped launch her professional career at eighteen. At that time, she joined the Del Rios as “the girl” in the trio, making her debut at the Strand Theater featuring Eddie Duchin. Then onto the Astor Roof highlighting Tommy Dorsey, the Pied Pipers and Frank Sinatra. The RKO Boston Review stated: “the trio offered an exciting and original balancing act, performing impossible feats with Irene nonchalantly smoking a cigarette”. The Del Rios parted ways in San Francisco since the two men were drafted and Irene returned to N.Y.C. for a short stint with the Rockettes. But, even though the trio had disbanded, and Irene’s beaded gowns were packed away, there were happy days ahead in 1947 when Irene married Jay Jones, one of her two partners. Yes, “timing is indeed, everything” Lila Greenwald

A Few Words from our President Dan Gross As the temperature increases, so do the critiques and problems of Eaton Village as expressed to the council. We are aware of the comments, but our priority number one was to investigate and answer the questions presented at the general open community meeting. This has been addressed in a recent letter to all residents. The council has been lenient with enforcing rules and regulations concerning parking and speeding problems. This will be directly addressed in a President’s letter on or about July 25 which will discuss strict enforcement for chronic abusers. This will include registering all autos by security with possible fines of abusers as well as installing “sleeping policemen”. I sincerely hope we do not have to resort to these measures

Have you heard? Spring was rather elusive in April but not when we had our imaginative and delicious Ladies Luncheon at the General Warren Inne. The afternoon was topped-‐off by two excellent musicians, performing with a selection for violin and viola.
