Jeannine De La Fontaine-Labelle-Gatien
(1928-2011)
C’est avec une grande tristesse que je vous ai annoncé le décès de Jeannine duCamelot 307, il y a quelques jours.
Pour le moment, je sais qu’il y aura une messe à l’Église de la Paroisse-de-la-Visitation à Montréal, le 22 octobre, l’heure n’a pas encore été fixée. Dès que j’aurai les informations complémentaires, je vous le ferai savoir.
Je m’excuse du petit mot de souvenir que je vais écrire ici qui pourrait sembler un peu personnel mais qui rejoindra certainement tous ceux et celles qui l’ont bien connue.
Pour Nicole et moi, cela peut paraître un peu spécial car c’est la première personne que nous avons côtoyée sur le site, il y a de cela seize ans. (Elle y était depuis 4 ans alors)
Nous avons appris d’elle les us et coutumes du site.
Je dois tout d’abord souligner que c’est à Jeannine à qui nous devons le WHIST MILITAIRE au Lauderhill East.
Je dois dire que c’était dans sa ligne, elle adorait jouer aux cartes….et, elle aimait gagner..(Pour avoir joué assez souvent avec eux, nous en savons quelque chose…LOL)
Elle a été aussi une fervente adepte de shuffleboard, elle a d’ailleurs été capitaine d’une équipe plusieurs années.
Elle adorait une petite partie de golf sur notre exécutif à l’arrière du site. Elle était toujours participante aux olympiques sur le site.
Et finalement, quelque chose qu’elle aimait faire en plus était d’aller danser à la Canadienne, Gérard saura me le dire si je me trompe.
Elle a fait le choix de nous quitter…tout doucement sans vouloir être prolongée.
Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de l’amie Jeannine.
Bon repos.
Sincères sympathies à GérardDEMANDE IMPORTANTE
Le service clicktel que plusieurs connaissent parmi vous me propose un service téléphonique ainsi qu’une connexion internet.

Si oui, j’aimerais que vous communiquiez avec moi pour m’en parler.

Sales activity and median sale price for existing Florida homes and condominiums rose in August, according to a report released today by Florida Realtors.
Statewide, 16,026 homes were sold in August, up 15 percent from a year ago. The median sale price of a Florida home increased 2 percent to $137,500. Nationally, the median sales price for an existing single-family home was $168,400, down 5.4 percent from a year ago, according to a National Association of Realtors report.
There was also a 17 percent year-over-year increase in the number of condos, 7,098, sold in Florida, and the median price was $91,100 -- 12 percent greater than last year's $81,500 average price. Nationally, NAR said the median condo sold for $167,500 in August.
Sales of distressed properties, which are especially prevalent in Florida, are pushing down prices, according to the report.
In Miami, home sale activity gained 49 percent to 951 sales, while the price declined 1 percent to $180,900. Condos in Miami increased 13 percent in median price to $118,800, and activity rose 53 percent.

Serving on a condominium or homeowners board of directors is serious work and can be a full-time endeavor. But should communities allow owners who do not live in a community or only live in a community part of the year serve?
Are there restrictions about residency?
The Florida Condominium Act states “every owner” is eligible to serve on the board except for certain exceptions that have been carved out concerning delinquency, past felony history and co-ownership, says attorney and guest Sun Sentinel blogger Donna Berger. Statutes for homeowner communities are similar, though no exceptions are made for co-ownership. That means that in a condo and HOA community, snowbirds and non-residents who still own their property would be entitled to run for and serve on the board.
However many governing documents do require that directors be owners, which is why board members and owners should check the language in their documents to be sure.
So the law seems to stand by the notion that owners who do not live full-time in a community - snowbirds and landlords/investors included - have the right to serve on a board.
Living in a South Florida condominium community on or near a golf course is generally considered a good thing, bringing higher real estate values and peaceful views of hills, sand and greens.
Nobody came forward, she said, to admit responsibility for any of the incidents.
Do you have any legal recourse against the golf course or their community associations to cover damage. "And who will pay the hospital bill if I get hurt?" The residents are responsible out-of-pocket for damage.
The golfers are supposed to contact owners when they cause damage and offer to pay for it, but owners may ultimately have to cover the costs — or file an insurance claim if appropriate — if that doesn't happen or if it is not clear who is responsible.
Legal experts say being in the line of fire comes with the territory when you buy into a condo or homeowners community that borders a golf course.
But as the law sees it, owners assume the risk when they move in." It is similar when home buyers purchase a home near an airport. It is difficult for them to file a lawsuit based on airplane noise.
Berger and other experts offer a few tips:
If you live along a golf course, check your insurance policy or talk to your agent about what is covered. Usually the deductible is $1,000 and would not cover the broken window costs, which are well below that amount.
