APRIL 2015 APRIL 2015 President s Post Dear Neighbors It is a busy time here at Pelican Cove Mother Nature is busy painting all the live oaks in spring green while the mockingbirds and cardinals are tuning up and the herons are doing their mating rituals and building nests It is a busy time for our residents It s the time of year when school vacations and fatigue from the cold winter weather to the north swell the number of visitors who come here to enjoy good times in the sunshine with friends and families The walking paths are filled with visiting admirers of our lovely weather flora and fauna The pools are alive with the sound of grandchildren nieces and nephews enjoying themselves It is a busy time for our numerous clubs and groups who enrich our community so greatly as they begin to offer their final events and activities as the winter season starts drawing to a close As but one example the Art Show one of the traditional signal celebrations of springtime here at Pelican Cove recently completed its three day exhibitions offering the entire community 3 an intimate experience of the extraordinary artistic talents of everincreasing numbers of our fellow residents This is also a busy time for our staff committees and board members as all strive to complete work on their priorities and finalize decisions on the improvements to our grounds and facilities to be undertaken during the summer The levels of behind the scenes effort imagination and commitment to the enrichment of Pelican Cove contributed by the folks involved in these essential parts of our community organization are much greater than many of us recognize I offer my gratitude and appreciation to these people and to the multitude of members of the PC family who so generously volunteer their time energy and talent to make this such a uniquely enjoyable stimulating and well run place to live I urge everyone to take a moment to express your thanks to them in person at every opportunity Finally it has been a busy time for me as I come up to speed on my new responsibilities and attempt to fill the shoes of my dedicated and infinitely more experienced predecessor Murray Sherry who has been extremely busy himself as he generously helps me learn the ropes I thank him Connie and her staff and the rest of my fellow directors for turning over such a smoothly running operation to this newly elected leadership team Gary Gulden President Harbor Club Renovation Phase 2 The promised enlargement of the Harbor Club Fitness Facility will take place this summer The Board gave the go ahead for this long awaited project at their March 17 meeting on a 6 3 vote The division of the vote was not a reflection of the Board s firm commitment to enlarge the available space in the fitness facility Rather it was a reflection of the complexity of arriving at a design solution capable of satisfying an array of physical and financial conditions that can also be implemented over the summer to be ready for use in the fall Obtaining the maximum amount of space for the Fitness Facility requires not only the removal of the sauna and storage areas from the Fitness Facility but their relocation elsewhere within the footprint of the Harbor Club Over the course of the entire fall and winter the Buildings and Facilities Committee and our Buildings Maintenance Coordinator have spent countless hours producing numerous design options in the attempt to satisfy a difficult set of physical constraints at justifiable costs Two of these alternative designs were presented at the Board Workshop on March 10 However neither received support One was judged too expensive and the other didn t accomplish enough During that Workshop further design ideas were discussed that led up to the AFE presented to the Board at this meeting The proposed AFE presented a design that accomplished this by reconfiguring the laundry facility to accommodate the storage needs leaving available a space elsewhere in which a future sauna could be located but making the laundry area unsuitable for residents to use It was the impact of the new design on the availability of the sauna and resident access to the laundry that presented the Board with the choice between approving a financially well justified design for maximizing Fitness Facility utility that could be completed this summer or continuing to seek design answers to maintaining availability of the sauna and public access to the laundry before approving a final design Clearly the Board felt the need to get off the dime and ultimately the majority chose to approve the proposed AFE in the interest of getting necessary planning and detailed design work underway on the Fitness Facility The heavy usage of the room and the need for improvement presented the most compelling case for action At the same time the Board charged the Buildings and Facilities Committee with addressing the question of what to do about the sauna and resident laundry access and also the fundamental question of whether the replacement of those infrequently used facilities is an appropriate investment of Association funds In aid of those latter deliberations questions have been included in the forthcoming Planning Committee Survey to gauge the Community s sense of the importance of those facilities Two additional action items were taken The Ballroom and Ethnic Dances Group application was approved 8 to 1 under the conditions space be available in the PC facilities schedule and that the activities of the group not be scheduled as to require continued

APRIL 2015 APRIL 2015 9 Fiber Arts Committee By Erlinda Rejino One of the largest participatory events in Pelican Cove is the Annual Art Show In addition to the artists exhibiting the volunteers making it happen and the people viewing the art dozens and dozens of PC residents brought their NY Times blue plastic bags to The Wilbanks for use in the Fiber Arts Group s effort to Mark the Way between the two Art Show venues So many people contributed bags that we had to ask folks to stop because we had many more than needed Since the addition of the Harbor Club as a second exhibit space for the Fiber Arts the attendance there has not kept pace with the attendance at the long established Pavilion venue The Blue Bag Brigade used the blue bags and fiber to mark a series of trees along Pelican Cove Road and Clower Creek Drive between the Pavilion and the Harbor Club This was an attempt to draw attention and encourage folks to visit both Art Show venues In addition to the marked trees no trees were hurt in this effort LuLu a fiber mannequin merrily waved at residents from the cross roads while pointing the way for viewers to find more art at the Harbor Club The effort proved successful Although the attendance at the Harbor Club was still not equal to the attendance at the Pavilion it increased by a significant 20 percent over last year s attendance So thank you to all of those who donated bags decorated trees tolerated a different approach and especially those who followed the blue bags and supported both Art Show venues Lynn Teichmann and friend explain the fiber art challenge for 2016 beneath Emily Carrier s Flip Flop Quilt Photo by Cheryl Glowacki IN MEMORIAM We mourn the passing of Ann Smith BA158 on February 24 Benjamin Vromen Long time Renter on March 11 FORMER RESIDENTS FRIENDS Fred Hard on February 15 We extend our sincerest sympathy to their family and friends Actress Jenny Aldrich performing as Georgia O Keefe before a full house in her recent show sponsored by the Pelican Cove Art Club Photo by Phyllis Camesano Kayak Canoe Club By Carol Russell Fourteen of us on 13 kayaks hopped into the Lido tunnels quickly on March 16 since three tours had taken their groups in the other direction Whew The Nature Park Bay seems to be getting more and more shallow by the season but we got through the main tunnels just fine and we only met a few slow pokes for a brief time We had the 2 mph tidal flow with us until tunnel 5 We thought about venturing into an alley back by the bridge but it was going to be a slippery and slimy walk to get access So we paddled against the incoming tide onto the spit of sand that is the very end of the rainbow of Lido Beach for lunch It would ve been a beautiful day to walk all the way up the sand past the picnic beaches to the tiki bar but for those of you who haven t been to Lido Beach and South Lido Beach kayaking or by car there is a lot to discover and this long stretch of combined beach is very walkable and a real beauty After lunch some folks paddled back to the put in while 11 of us went across the Intracoastal Big Pass to Bird Key I m pretty sure that this Key was created from the Ringling Bridge construction with canals throughout The real estate is of course upscale to match the boats on lifts but the most beautiful discovery was the coral and sea urchins on the canal walls mainly under the bridges I m ready to go back just to see how they grow and changes with the sea temperatures If it s not coral then it s something pink yellow and white and the urchins are black below the water line We entered straight across the intracoastal from the lunch beach took two left turns in the canals and exited directly across from the kayak put in at South Lido Park It s really easy and it only added 35 minutes to the paddle There are other canals to explore and it s a wonderful addition to the tunnels but just beware of big boats when crossing The Bird Key canals are always a good backup paddle if the tunnels are skinny from low tide or when an east wind is blowing the water out of the tunnels All in all it was a gorgeous and safe day on the water There were no complaints about March in Florida

10 Meet Your Neighbor an Interview with Will Erwin By Donna Anderson Some know him as the quiet listener in the back of the PCU classroom expressing opinions when they intersect with his personal experience Others know him from the recent Book Fair as author of wise and adventure filled Young Photo by Donna Anderson Adult novels Most however will recognize the tall lanky frame of Will Erwin who dons a wide brimmed cowboy hat daily to walk the Cove s perimeter If not a dead ringer for actor Jimmy Stewart his charming and thoughtful disposition exemplifies much that Stewart s best loved characters brought to the screen A life long Hoosier Will holds only a parcel of the extensive acreage he farmed near Etna Green Over time he has divided most of those holdings among his heirs Yet it is his life s blood and as he did between governmental assignments he continues to work the farm whenever back at home Two Brookhouse couples visited him there last year and noted his strength and agility when showing them the land A limb had fallen across the path Will jumped out of his truck grabbed the chain saw and cleared it before continuing the ride There is much about the man that seems younger and more robust than one soon to enter his ninetieth year That heartiness echoes back to an Indiana farming pedigree When asked about storied elders Will quickly recalls his grandfather Pioneer spirited and an avid Methodist the old man suffered rattlesnake bites a missing finger and shrapnel wounds from a blunderbuss explosion On a duck hunt he got winded and told 14 year old Will that he needed to stop At that moment a duck flew overhead and bam he fired his gun As they watched it fly off he said You know I hit that duck hit him in the right side But Will continued the duck s just flying happily along I decided well when I m 70 some maybe I ll need to say I hit the duck Then its right wing broke and he fell to the ground I quietly ate the crow I d been thinking His grandfather ran ahead a hundred yards and collected his bird Drawn deeply into the memory Will chuckles That darn duck There is an ever present twinkle in his eye but Will lights up when he talks of his youth I had a tough childhood but I had a utopian childhood I grew up in the happiest home you could imagine He described picnics in the woods just simple lunches from what they had that his mother turned into events He remembers she saved egg and cream money stashes she later used to send his sister and then himself away for a week at summer camp He remembers complaining about something a friend had APRIL 2015 or experienced until his father showed him two lists one of what they owned the other what they owed Always they showed the children respect As a boy people had low expectations for Will s future Ten pounds at birth they had called him Big Bill By two however he toppled a pan of boiling milk and was severely burned He was scarred tone deaf physically inept and small until his senior year in high school Then the second shortest boy in the class grew to be the second tallest by graduation Tone deafness gave way to a sound sense of cadence a leg up in giving speeches College offered opportunities before unknown At last he said I was part of it To read an account of the commissions and positions where Will has served one is reminded of a political Who s Who That account is also something of a Cinder fella tale Always his explanations are credited to luck and pitted with modesty and anecdotes of gracelessness Yet this is a man of deep personal conviction confidence and a righteous fair mindedness He served two years as an Army Air Corp Cadet They brainwashed us to make us think we were great two terms as an Illinois State Senator and when called upon he said yes to requests from six presidents various senators and assorted community leaders At 31 he was a recipient of the Jaycees Young Farmers Award and thereby celebrated for a full hour appearance on the Arthur Godfrey Show That exposure led to his first meeting at the White House where Eisenhower asked him to sit on his Goals Committee Nearly a decade later and following the L A riots Lyndon Johnson asked if Will would serve on his Committee for Community Relations Well I called Western Union first to make sure it was a legitimate telegram Will says it proved tremendous fun but shares a personal story At a White House reception he noticed an attractive Black American woman standing in the middle of the room Others were busy chatting but she stood alone I thought Ye gods here we are supposed to be doing something and all the time we are ignoring that lady I ran up to her and I said Hi I m Will Erwin and I come from Indiana She said How do you do I m Marian Anderson and I come from NY And the look on my face But she was so gracious and charm Continued on page 11

APRIL 2015 11 Erwin from page 10 ing and recognized that I felt like an idiot Here s this Indiana farmer talking to one of the most celebrated contraltos of the 20th century Marian Anderson It was wonderful Will served on the Nixon administration s Task Force on Rural Development 1970 71 and from 1971 72 as an advisor to EPA Administrator William Ruckelshaus on pesticides air and water quality and rural affairs 1 Ruckelshaus called to say that he needed Will to come down and build some reason into the pesticide debate Will asked what it paid Ruckleshaus said that it was an honor to be asked but Will chuckled A man can just go broke taking your honors He became a paid consultant In 1972 Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz appointed Will to be Assistant Secretary for Rural Development He became renowned for special interests in natural resources migrant workers and civil rights He worked with Senator Lugar on the Farm Credit System Assistance Forum and interestingly with EPA Chairman Howard Messner whose sister and brother in law Bill and Roberta Block he later met here in Pelican Cove The political person he most admires Eisenhower He had more personal compassion than anybody I ever met Example when we were having lunch at the White House we were 30 senators college and union presidents and one farmer I was one or two generations younger that the others obviously kind of shy and I had this sense that I was being talked about and it made me very uncomfortable Eisenhower stood up to make his remarks and said First of all I want to know if my interests are represented in this group Does anybody here feed Angus cattle And his eyes pored right into me I thought Here s a guy who s been head of the greatest army in the world dealt with the most contentious generals in the world he s president of the United States and he takes time to be compassionate to this squirt Eisenhower later asked me to represent him in the west which I appreciatively did and with a clear conscience He could and did give the country what it needed On hopes I believe that my children were naturally more gifted than I was and that my grandchildren certainly are And my hope is that they can grow up in an environment where their respect for all humans continues to grow and orients them to something bigger than they are Shared Goals Contrasting Approaches The Nixon and Ford Administrations Implement the Rural Development Act of 1972 Anne B W Effland 1 Website Did you know Did you know that you can get contact information for Board members and Committee Chairs in two ways besides using the address book search function First way You select the Board and Committee item on the menu and click on the Board or the name of the committee you seek Names and pictures of each board or committee member are listed If you click on the picture the contact information available for that person in the address book appears Second way You select the Address Book item on the menu and click on the link for Board or Committees A list of Board members and Committee Chairpersons appears and you click on the name you seek and the information available for that person in the address book appears By the way did you have a chance to try using a different view of the calendar monthly weekly daily or try narrowing your search of the calendar events using the categories provided general Board PCU card games ect as suggested in this column last month Social Club Future Flash By Donna Anderson Among fairy lights and champagne flutes 100 plus residents will come to the garden party at The Wilbanks on Sunday night April 26 They will dine and dance be mimed and sketched then polled and prized for their frills Professional and amateur performers will entertain richly with music and song Although the dress code will be strictly white creativity should reign Revelers may wear cocktail dresses to togas feathers to tiaras Marie Antoinette style wigs to kitchen towel do rags and set their tables with style The cause uniting these neighbors camaraderie and fun plain and simple Mark your calendar Sunday April 26 the Wilbanks garden Host a table join a table compete and vote French cuisine Champagne and full bar Wear White and bring your table finery if you so choose Prizes for top Togs and Tables Let s have an extraordinary time Questions Contact Donna Anderson 301 452 3157 Search online for Diner en Blanc or Dinner in White to get ideas Trivia for April Pavilion Art Club Reed and Branch Art Show Sign Jim Redmond Photo Bananas grow on a tropical plant that is not a tree it has no trunk Bananas are gigantic herbs that spring from underground stems What appears to be the trunk is a false stem formed by tightly wrapped leaf sheaths With stalks 25 feet high they re the largest plant on earth without a woody stem

12 Letters from page 2 To the Editor I wish to address some misinformation that a few residents have regarding the operation of the grounds in Pelican Cove Each week two to three dumpsters of plant material are picked up by the county and hauled away for free All the mulch we receive comes from tree removal companies We receive this mulch for free The grounds crew works very diligently to fertilize our plants The soil is poor and when it rains the water quickly percolates into the ground carrying with it minerals The grounds crew does not over fertilize and follows Sarasota County Code which is very strict and designed to prevent runoff into Little Sarasota Bay We have over 12 000 trees in Pelican Cove not counting all the palm trees There are thousands of shrubs bushes which flower to enhance the beauty of our neighborhoods Imagine what this place would look like if the all the leaves flowers stems mosses and other plant debris were left in place under the tree canopy and shrubs for six months as proposed by some Personally Pelican Cove would not be a place I want to reside in with all the decaying matter lying around Sam Alaimo BA 105 To the Editor While strolling along the boardwalk recently we noticed many new non indigenous species of weeds growing amid the mangroves These are called Garbagus Plasticus Garbagus Metallica and Garbagus Styrofoamus We can t imagine that our caring owners and renters would have planted such nasty weeds but perhaps their guests have particularly the younger ones Please remind them that it is not such a long walk to carry these items back to their condo units and deposit them in the garbage or recycling Thank you Shelly Gooler Peggy Jacobs Gooler BA248 Editor s Note Detritus found in the mangroves along the shoreline has washed in with the tide as a rule The Grounds Crew does try to keep on top of this To the Editor The Art Show this year was amazing thanks to the hard work of Cheryl Glowacki Jane Freund and their wonderful committees As a past Art Show Chairman I know how much time was sacrificed in planning hard work and decisions and I repeat you did an outstanding job There are so many facets to this event and I d also like to recognize those untold heroes the back stage hands without them there would be no show and as we know The Show Must Go On Artwork in this community is amazing and the quality gets better year after year It s almost impossible to live in Pelican Cove among so many artists and not try your hand at being creative whether it be painting sculpting collage fiber art etc We just step out of our units breathe the air and create Joan Sable GL338 APRIL 2015 To the Editor Often when we are about to implement a new procedure I hear complaints This is particularly true at Annual Meetings Folks say that they don t understand this or they don t agree with that This is perfectly understandable and acceptable However the Annual Meeting is not the proper forum for education Many hours of work precede decisions arrived at by the Board All of our Workshops the vehicle we use to discuss all issues are open to every owner Association members are encouraged to participate and offer their opinions This is the forum for education where owners can hear all the facts that the Board Members have ask questions and be a part of the process The operation of Pelican Cove begins at the Committee level Committee meetings are open to everyone As a Board member I participate in making decisions that affect all Pelican Cove owners However you as an owner may not agree with the Board on what is good for Pelican Cove Get involved before decisions are made Join a committee run for a position on the Board attend committee meetings and give your opinion I don t see many folks at our monthly meetings This is not a good thing for Pelican Cove We need your input to show us where you want Pelican Cove to go Frank Rivera Board Member BR230 To The Editor I was an owner resident in Pelican Cove for 30 years ending in 2011 when my wife and I moved to The Glenridge I always felt that Pelican Cove is the brightest resident spot in all of Florida The writer of the letter in the last issue of the Pelican Cove News may not be aware why the denying of overnight parking of commercial vehicles trucks was adopted in the spring of 1979 The reasons advanced at that time were the vandalism and robberies that existed in the Cove They were not insignificant In 1979 television sets for example were large bulky and expensive Many flew out of the Cove during nighttime burglaries It seemed logical that transport out of Pelican Cove by truck was simpler and easier than by car Likewise it was more likely that a unit would be robbed under the cover of darkness than in the daylight hours So the ban on truck parking overnight came to be Irving Bennett Editor s Note The writer is the author of the book The History of Pelican Cove The First 25 Years Copies of this book are available at the office To the Editor Recently Charlie and I were named Volunteers of the Year We are very honored and pleased but without the work of the members of the PCU board none of this award would be possible As most of our residents know volunteers are one of the blessings of Pelican Cove and without the dedication of Julie Atlas Elinor Chovnick Ben and Elizabeth Forsyth Alice Levine Freda Scotch and Dennis Wachter we could not have the vibrant University as it is now Of course none of this could happen without the work of our teachers who continue to share their expertise with us And last but the very least we recognize the help and support of the management of Pelican Cove JoEllen DeMarco GR221
