June 10 C R Y D E R P O I N T Cryder Point Pool: Open for Business! Meet our new Pool Managers By Jill Davis BEECHHURST, NY – Sat., May 28: In a flagrant breech of security, the intruder pictured at right was seen swimming in the Cryder Point pool on the opening day of the 2016 summer season. Resident Bella Resnick was able to capture this photo as the violator exhibited a blatant disregard for the co-op’s stringent pool rules and regulations. Pool Manager Cesar Gaviria quickly apprehended the trespasser and began a thorough interrogation. Despite intense questioning, the interloper refused to produce a pool member’s swipe card or personal identification, claiming that he had left his billfold at home. He inadvertently revealed that his surname is “Quack” when he instinctively responded to a duck whistle: no record of a pool member by that name was found in the pool’s computer system. It is believed that he goes by the given name of either Daffy or Donald and is from the Little Neck Bay area, but Mr. Quack would neither confirm nor deny these assertions. Mr. Quack claimed that was very distraught by Mr. Gaviria’s persistent grilling. “My feathers are quite ruffled from this entire experience,” he said. Mr. Quack was later released on his own recognizance. Following the incident, sources reported that this was not the first time that Mr. Quack had come to Cryder Point for a dip in the pool, and in fact has brought other “guests” with him. “He was here with his whole family just yesterday,” said one pool member on the condition of anonymity. 10 cryder point courier | June 2016 | WWW.QNS.COM (“I had Peking you-know-what for dinner last night,” the source whispered.) Whether Mr. Quack is now flying solo or intends to return with his entourage remains unclear, but a flock of suspicious looking ducks—all of whom share Mr. Quack’s mallard-like features- Welcome Assistant Manager Rebecca Bauer Photo by Maxine Schiller -was seen lurking in the East River near the property’s shoreline as late as Sunday afternoon. Anyone with information regarding Mr. Quack or his whereabouts is asked to contact the authorities immediately by calling the Waterfowl Hotline at 1-800-555-DUCK. This is a developing story and new reports will be forthcoming as we receive further updates. Cryder Point Opening Day, 2016 Photo by Maxine Schiller First, we’d like to welcome Cesar Gaviria as Cryder Point’s new Pool Manager. Cesar comes to us with nearly 15 years’ pool management experience, with the last five years as the head of operations for a pool management company. The company recently closed, but Cesar’s loss was our gain and we were fortunate to have snagged him. His prior experience includes pool management positions at the New York Health & Racquet Club, the Rivercross Health Club and the Equinox Fitness Club. Cesar is a New York City certified pool operator and also holds certifications with the Red Cross in CPR and first aid/lifeguard training. He is also a member of the Independent Martial Arts Federation as a certified instructor, holding a black belt in Kung Fu. Joining Cesar as Assistant Manager is Rebecca Bauer. Rebecca is a certified lifeguard and will provide back-up and coverage for Cesar. She joins us from American Pool and Leisure in Brooklyn where she has overseen day-to-day operations and trained and supervised staff. We’re also happy to report that nearly all of our lifeguards from last season have returned— they like it here! Please welcome back Katrina Mok, Nicole Ziegler, Cerys Presiner, Rachel Lana and Annabelle Annicm, and say hello to new lifeguard Hoda Farde. With such a great crew, we look forward to a safe and fun-filled season at the pool! Welcome Cryder Point Pool Manager Cesar Gaviria Photo by Jill Davis The Cryder Point Pool…a Duck’s Dynasty?
