RECYCLING TENNIS BALLS
Tennis balls are recyclable and they should be, in order to keep hundreds of thousands of tennis balls out of the garbage dumps.
To this end, Wilson Tennis Ball Company has developed a machine and a program to recycle the balls through recycleballs.org.
Verano is now going to be participating in this program. Until there is a hopper under the canopy of courts 4 and 5, please cooperate and place all of your used and unwanted tennis balls into the hopper that is located under the canopy of courts 1&2.
This will help to keep thousands of tennis balls from going into the garbage dumps.
Please, do your part to recycle.
Thank you,
The Tennis Committee

ROYAL EXHIBITION BUILDING AND CARLTON GARDENS MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA The Royal Exhibition Building and its surrounding Carlton Gardens were designed for the great international exhibitions of 1880 and 1888 in Melbourne. The building and grounds were designed by Joseph Reed. The building is constructed of brick and timber, steel and slate. It combines elements from the Byzantine, Romanesque, Lombardic and Italian Renaissance styles. The property is typical of the international exhibition movement which saw over 50 exhibitions staged between 1851 and 1915 in venues including Paris, New York, Vienna, Calcutta, Kingston (Jamaica) and Santiago (Chile).
HISTORIC CENTRE OF SÃO LUÍS MARANHÃO STATE, BRAZIL The late 17th-century core of this historic town, founded by the French and occupied by the Dutch before coming under Portuguese rule, has preserved the original rectangular street plan in its entirety. Thanks to a period of economic stagnation in the early 20th century, an exceptional number of fine historic buildings have survived, making this an outstanding example of an Iberian colonial town.
TAOS PUEBLO N E W M E X I C O This Pueblo Indian settlement in northern New Mexico, consisting of ceremonial buildings and facilities, and multi-storey adobe dwellings built in terraced tiers, exemplifies the living culture of a group of present-day Pueblo Indian people at Taos Pueblo. As one of a series of settlements established in the late 13th and early 14th centuries in the valleys of the Rio Grande and its tributaries that have survived to the present day, Taos Pueblo represents a significant stage in the history of urban, community and cultural life and development in this region. Taos Pueblo has been continuously inhabited and is the largest of these Pueblos that still exist, with its North and South Houses rising to heights of five storeys. Taos Pueblo and the people of the Pueblo itself claim an aboriginal presence in the Taos Valley since time immemorial..

32 THE VERANO VOICE A KOLTER COMMUNITY UNRAVELING THE MANY MYSTERIES OF NEIL DIAMOND'S 'SWEET CAROLINE'
The story of Neil Diamond’s "Sweet Caroline" has it all: He’d also written "I’m a Believer," which The Monkees love, baseball, Kennedys, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and the took to #1 in late 1966. triumph of the human spirit. It’s pop’s answer to the national anthem, and as any karaoke belter or Boston The "who," as in the identity of the "Caroline" Red Sox fan will tell you, it’s way easier to sing than immortalized in the lyrics, is the much juicier question. "The Star-Spangled Banner." As the song celebrates its In 2007, Diamond revealed that he was inspired to write 50th birthday this year, now’s a good time—so good, so the song by a photograph of Caroline Kennedy, good, so good—to dig into the rich history of a tune daughter of John F. Kennedy, that he saw in a magazine people will still be singing in 2069. in the early ‘60s, when he was a "young, broke songwriter." "Where it began, I can’t begin to knowing," Diamond "It was a picture of a little girl dressed to the nines in her sings in the song’s iconic opening lines. Except the riding gear, next to her pony," Diamond told the "where" part of this story is actually pretty simple: Associated Press. "It was such an innocent, wonderful Diamond wrote "Sweet Caroline" in a Memphis hotel picture, I immediately felt there was a song in there.” room in 1969 on the eve of a recording session at Years later, in that Memphis hotel room, the song was American Sound Studio. By this point in his career, finally born. Diamond had established himself as a fairly well- known singer-songwriter with two top-10 hits —"Cherry Cherry" and "Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon"—to his name.
3 3 THE VERANO VOICE A KOLTER HOMES C O M M U N I T Y Diamond kept that tidbit to himself for years and "I actually considered it like a good luck charm," only broke the news after performing the song at Tobey told The Boston Globe in 2005. "Even if they Kennedy’s 50th birthday in 2007. "I’m happy to have were just one run [ahead], I might still do it. It was gotten it off my chest and to have expressed it to just a feel." It became a regular thing in 2002, when Caroline," Diamond said. "I thought she might be Fenway’s new management asked Tobey to play embarrassed, but she seemed to be struck by it and "Sweet Caroline" during the eighth inning of every really, really happy." home game, regardless of the score. The plot thickened in 2014, however, as Diamond At first, Tobey was worried that mandatory Diamond told the gang at NBC’s TODAY that the song is really would lead to bad luck on the actual diamond. But about his first wife, Marsha. "I couldn’t get Marsha that wasn’t the case, as the Sox won the World into the three-syllable name I needed,” Diamond Series in 2004, ending the "Curse of the Bambino" said. "So I had Caroline Kennedy’s name from years and giving Beantown its first title since 1918. In 2010, ago in one of my books. I tried ‘Sweet Caroline,’ and Diamond made a surprise appearance at Fenway to that worked." perform "Sweet Caroline" during the Red Sox's season opener against the New York Yankees. He It certainly did. Released in 1969, "Sweet Caroline" wore a Sox cap and a sports coat emblazoned with rose to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the decade the message "Keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn." that followed, it was covered by Elvis Presley, soul great Bobby Womack, Roy Orbison, and Frank Sinatra. Diamond rates Ol’ Blue Eyes’ version the best of the bunch. "He did it his way," Diamond told The Sunday Guardian in 2011. "He didn't cop my record at all. I've heard that song by a lot of people and there are a lot of good versions. But Sinatra's swingin', big-band version tops them all by far."
Another key question in the "Sweet Caroline" saga is "why"—why has the song become a staple at Fenway Park in Boston, a city with no discernible connection to Diamond, a native of Brooklyn?
It’s all because of a woman named Amy Tobey, who worked for the Sox via BCN Productions from 1998 to 2004. During those years, Tobey had the wicked awesome job of picking the music at Sox games. She noticed that "Sweet Caroline" was a crowd- pleaser, and like any good baseball fan, she soon developed a superstition. If the Sox were up, and Tobey thought they were going to win the game, she’d play the song somewhere in between the seventh and ninth innings.

"What an honor it is for me to be here today," Diamond told the crowd. "I bring love from the whole country." He then sang along with the ‘69 recording of the song, leading the crowd in the "Ba! Ba! Ba!" and "So good! So good! So good!" ad-libs that have essentially become official lyrics. Diamond also donated all the royalties he received from the song that week, as downloads increased by 597 percent.
The Red Sox aren't the only sports team to have basked in the glory of "Sweet Caroline." The song has become popular with both the Penn State Nittany Lions and Iowa State Cyclones football squads and has even crossed the Atlantic to become part of the music rotation for England's Castleford Tigers crew team and Britain's Oxford United Football Club. Over the last five decades, millions of people have had their lives touched by "Sweet Caroline" in one way or another. The enduring popularity must be a pleasant surprise for Diamond, who had no idea he’d written a classic back in 1969. "Neil didn't like the song at all," Tommy Cogbill, a bass player at American Sound Studio, said in an interview for the 2011 book Memphis Boys. "I actually remember him not liking it and not wanting it to be a single."
