Electronic Voting: Early in 2015, a Florida statute was passed permitting associations to offer electronic online voting to their members who would prefer to vote and/or receive ofcial notices by those means. At its November meeting, a resolution authorizing such an electronic voting option was presented, discussed and tabled until this meeting pending legal opinion about one of the clauses in the resolution. That resolution was brought back for discussion, and the Board, being satised with the requested legal opinion, approved it. This action simply permits the association to offer owners the option of voting and receiving ofcial notices by electronic mail. By itself, this resolution neither obligates the association to provide this option, nor owners to use it if it is offered. If the association chooses to make such an option available it will need to enter into a board-approved separate contract with an independent provider of electronic voting service and provide information and consent forms to all owners so that they may enroll in the service, if they wish to.Casualty Insurance Renewal The insurance policy that insures our buildings and carports against damage from wind, re, and other perils, apart from ood, comes up for renewal each December. Each year, our insurance agent solicits proposals from the marketplace of insurance carriers who write casualty policies for a complex of our size, age, and location, and presents the best offering for our consideration. Owing to the comparatively low incidence of major claims from disaster events worldwide, and the abundance of investor capital owing into the insurance marketplace, our renewal premiums were once more slightly lower than the previous year’s costs. The Board approved renewals for total premiums of $546,000 to provide 100% Special EventsJanuary 1Art Exhibit3 p.m. – Harbor ClubJanuary 1 & 15Movie Night 7 p.m. – PavilionJanuary 3PC University Expo 10 a.m. – PavilionJanuary 10Pelican Programs8 p.m. – PavilionWriters Present7 p.m. – Harbor ClubJanuary 12Renters’ Meet & Greet7:30 p.m. – Harbor ClubJanuary 13Cinema Club7:30 p.m. – PavilionFolk Music Concert7:30 p.m. – Harbor ClubJanuary 17Photo Club Presentation7 p.m. – PavilionJanuary 18Candidates Night7 p.m. – Pavilion Kayak/Canoe Club4 p.m. – Harbor ClubJanuary 20Ballroom & Ethnic Dance5:30 p.m. – PavilionJanuary 22Social Club 5:30 p.m. – PavilionArt Exhibit2 p.m. – Harbor ClubJanuary 23Pelican Programs8 p.m. – PavilionJanuary 24Stan Hendricks Jazz7:30 p.m. – PavilionJanuary 25New Owners’ Welcome4:30 p.m. – Harbor ClubJanuary 26, 27 & 28Auto Decal Distribution9 a.m. – Harbor ClubJanuary 26Coffee Program9:30 a.m. – PavilionJanuary 29Folk Music Singalong7:30 p.m. – Harbor Clubcontinued on page 12INSIDE THIS ISSUEPELICAN C VEn e w s

3JANUARY 2017President’s PostBy Gary GuldenDear Neighbors, Happy New Year! This is the time of our year when there are so many programs and activities on the Pelican Cove calendar that we are spoiled for choice and nd ourselves wishing there were more hours in a day to t them all in. We are truly blessed with such an amazing array of offerings – brought to us by a large corps of dedicated, talented, generous, and equally amazing volunteers. Hats off, and thanks to you all for everything you do to make this such a uniquely stimulating place to live. We will be holding our Annual Meeting in a little more than a month, and with it, our election of directors. A strong board is of vital importance to our association, and there are four seats to be lled this year. Please consider standing as a candidate for a term as a director. The deadline for submitting your candidacy is Monday, January 9, 2017, at 5 p.m. “Intent to Run” forms are available at the ofce, on line, or as an insert in last month’s PC News. The Annual Meeting also marks the time when some of the seats on our standing committees turn over as certain members’ terms are up. These committees are the heart of our governance system and equally as important to the strength of this association as is the Board. The meeting schedules of these committees are published in each month’s PC News and on our website, their agendas are prominently posted, and they are open to all. I urge you to attend the meetings of committees whose responsibilities interest you, and, provided you are an owner, make your interest in becoming a member known to their chairs. Of note among our committees’ work is an effort underway for the past year in the Planning Committee to develop a long-range plan for Pelican Cove’s infrastructure. A public forum to obtain resident input to that project is scheduled for Thursday, January 5, 2017, at 10 a.m. in the Pelican Pavilion. Please make plans to attend. My wife, Toodie, joins me in wishing you a very happy and healthy 2017.Board of Directors/ Committee MeetingsBOD/Committee meetings scheduled for the month of January.

4JANUARY 2017Committee DoingsBay & Water Environmental Committee – December 8 Meeting was held at 9:30 a.m. in the Wilbanks with a quorum. • Old business involved changing the committee’s name, question raised that committee’s mission statement and name change might be in conict. Vote was tabled.• Discussed Climate Change Study and need for more involvement in providing input to Mr. Beever. Ewa will attend climate study subcommittee meeting next Monday.• Two guests arrived, Willard Block with Jennifer Schaeffer of the Science and Environment Council. • This is a collaborative council of 30 organizations representing scientic research in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.Building & Facilities Committee – December 1 Window coverings for Pavilion is an ongoing project awaiting quotes and proposals. Owner requested dumpster be moved at Bldg#1531 to existing parking space – it was recommended that Doug get a better estimate of costs involved, and B&F members go to look at area involved. It was suggested cost should be absorbed by owners involved in that area. To be delayed until 1/6/17 meeting. Sewer pipe issues are an ongoing discussion. We have had one area done recently with a video before and after, and another area to be done soon. No conclusive evidence yet that we must take a denite action. This is an issue requiring attention on an individual basis at this time, although it will need some long term planning to avoid major costs in a short term. LED lighting proposal was further discussed and it was determined we need more proposals for the board. Pickle ball was also brought up as something becoming very popular but not necessary for B&F to be involved with at this time. May go to rules committee in the future. Further action tabled at this time. Carport roof replacements were discussed and will be addressed by the Planning Committee for future consideration. Safety doors with panic bars are being evaluated for the Pavilion and we are awaiting three proposals.

5JANUARY 2017Manager’s ReportBy Jack Stevens, General Manager With the new year just begun there are a couple of things already happening. Our at roof project is scheduled to begin January 17. We will be starting with the building located at 1526 Pelican Point Drive and completing work on 1520/1518 Pelican Point Drive, 1633 Boathouse Circle, and 1508 Pelican Cove Road by early April. In addition, we are installing new radio frequency gate controls at the main gate and anticipate this system being operational by the end of this month. This system will allow owners to have automatic access to the property. We are always looking forward in order to better maintain the property and avoid unnecessary costs. One area we are working on is a plan for funding and addressing our aging underground sewer system. The main sewer lines for many units representing each of our neighborhoods have been inspected, jetted clear, and videoed. This work was done not only to reduce back-ups from known problem areas, but to gather a better understanding of the condition of our existing pipes. The good news is that the pipes we cleaned were in better shape than we had expected. We will continue addressing problem areas, which will add to our understanding of the condition of our underground pipes, while we plan for our future needs. In addition to addressing the sewer mains, our buildings maintenance crews completed painting the stairs and front entries to the Grovehouse buildings located at 1508, 1512, and 1516 Pelican Cove Road; began structural repairs to the Brookhouse building located at 1680 Brookhouse Circle; completed the structural repairs and painting of the Brookhouse building located at 1705 Clower Creek Drive; repaired several stairs, structural posts and decks around the property; removed and completely rebuilt rear decks on units located at 1677 Brookhouse Circle and 1701 Clower Creek Drive; removed and replaced the concrete window sill to a unit at 1519 Pelican Point Drive; replaced roughly 40’ of the boardwalk between 1519 and 1525 Pelican Point Drive, as well as the boardwalk leading to the Brookhouse pool; repaired the side of the storage area located near 1505 Pelican Point Drive; replaced a pump motor for the Pavilion pool; and started painting the stucco areas of the Bayhouse buildings. In grounds maintenance, we completed the trimming, edging, and raking of the Grovehouses, both Treehouse neighborhoods, the Brookhouses and Glenhouses, and are nearing completion of the Bayhouses; we added new plantings around the Far Harbor pool; had the large pond in the Brookhouses cleaned; installed Poinsettias around the property; removed several failing trees around the property, and replanted in the areas where they were removed. We are moving our operating account from Iberia to Florida Communities Bank. Everyone should have received their coupon books. If you have not received your books please let the ofce know.

The stationary bells are struck by clappers wired to an organ-like console. The carillonneur controls both dynamics and rhythm by playing on a double row of keys and a pedal board. This is a rare opportunity to hear and learn about this most unusual instrument. And we continue jumping in January as the outstanding Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe returns to Pelican Cove on Monday, January 23, 8 pm, in the Pavilion.

Their performances have delighted our community. And February is equally exciting. On Saturday, February 18, 8 p.m. in the Pavilion, singer Rhonda Liss, Pelican Cove resident, presents The Many Faces of Love: A Broadway Tapestry.

Her pianist is Alan Jay Corey, an award-winning musical director with credits at the Van Wezel, Sarasota Opera, American Stage and Theater Works, among others.This one-hour cabaret takes you from West Side Story to Cabaret to Carousel to Sondheim and many others, all interwoven with Rhonda’s humorous, lively, and engaging stories.

The downbeat will again be at 7:30 p.m. in response to favorable comments from residents and musicians. While the name of the group implies strictly jazz, the PC Combo plays a wide variety of music for both listening and dancing. The Combo has a long history dating to l980, when a group of jazz-loving residents gathered to listen to and discuss music. Those with instruments enjoyed playing for themselves. With Stan Hendricks at the helm, soon others came to listen, and the Combo became a regular seasonal Thursday night event. Nick Cannici, Bob Howland, and Dave Farr kept the music owing after Stan’s death. The monetary gifts of residents and donations at the door have enabled the combo to continue through the years. Now, under the direction of Bobby Barnhardt, the Combo is composed of Sarasota musicians. You can expect to see Johnny Moore back on drums, John DeWit on bass and pianist Keith Carmen. Musicians comprising the “front line” will be Joe Bruno on trumpet, trombonist Marvin Luckett, and Bobby Barnhardt, sax and clarinet. Vocalists Sam Kaplan, Kathryn Anderson and I, are Pelican Cove residents who add their talents to the group.

11JANUARY 2017Meet Your Neighbor: Rebecca HarpBy Donna Anderson It’s 2017. We’ve drunk the cups, snuffed the candles, and boxed the lights. Strains of Auld Lang Syne are but a memory, and resolutions could dwindle as we face those rst 100 days. A crisp calendar, however, prompts an expectation of the new, the shiny, the promising. Like the year’s rst born or a freshly minted coin, then, it is nice to consider the reections of our young neighbor, Rebecca Harp. Rebecca is 35, single, and has just signed the fourth lease for her Grovehouse condo. She is a certied Neuromuscular Massage Therapist, a certied Reexologist, has a private practice, and teaches yoga. She is a very modern gal. “Do you ever look around your world and just feel like, ‘I am an odd duck.’” Interestingly, Rebecca’s referring to her native Harbor Beach, Michigan, not Pelican Cove. She had a lightbulb moment in her 17th year. Sitting in a basement playing Euchre with friends, she noted the parents on the other side of the room – beers in hand, a mullet haircut, missing teeth. It was perhaps a rare snapshot, but it struck a chord. “I look at Chris and I said, ‘Hey, do you want to be doing this when you’re 40?’ And, she’s like, ‘Yeaaahh!’” Rebecca called her sister in Sarasota the next week, and stayed with her for summer vacation. The options seemed better here. Rebecca graduated from high school in 2000, and moved south. She lived with her sister, Sarah, and looked after her young niece. She took classes at Florida College of Natural Health. She met her husband and married, only to divorce early on. The transitions from Michigan to Sarah’s home to marriage gave Rebecca little chance at independence. So, when she left their 4-bedroom home in Lakewood Ranch, hopscotching the county to live in borrowed bungalows and short-term rentals, accommodations were far from ideal. On the rst morning of the third move, she remembers waking up “in this sweet little townhouse where appliances were working, there was an air-conditioner, a coffee maker, and a laundry facility. I sat and cried.” More moves followed. Pelican Cove came up in a search on Craigslist. Rebecca thought it was magnicent. “I have pockets of solitude [here]. That’s what I really enjoy. My space.” Additionally, the cove’s deference to foliage and wildlife is a value she’s shared since childhood. With a seven-year-old friend, she would often set off for the tree-lined street two blocks from home. They searched for “Raw Nature.” Their motto: “to go where no human has ever been before.” Rebecca enjoys life in the cove. Once the rst question is out of the way – Why are you here? – people embrace and accommodate her. The next-door neighbors are musicians. She has had to request that they ‘keep it down’ in the evenings because she works early. She hears that the conversation has become, “Shhhh, Rebecca needs her sleep.” Another neighbor worries about Rebecca’s social life. She suggests, “You should go to Bonesh Grill. I think there’s a lot of young people there.” Between her practice and teaching yoga, Rebecca takes improv classes at Florida Studio Theater. She hangs out at Simon’s Coffee House, and meets up with friends. Her parents also migrated to Sarasota, so she spends time with family. Had she available hours to volunteer, Rebecca would work with youth. “I would be involved with empowering girls. One of the biggest things I’ve learned is not to listen to anybody else’s story about you. Don’t give anybody the patent to your story…And wildlife, following wolves especially. Yeah.” Like many her age, Rebecca’s tattoos tell a story. There is a heart on her left shoulder symbolizing the need for self-awareness. “I thought, goll, what a beautiful tattoo that would be, you know, right on my sleeve, a heart.” Her right arm bears a peacock feather. She has come to think of it as a quill that records her journey. A favorite line of poetry from “She Let Go” by the Rev. Sare Rose reads, “Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.” The leaves that trail down her arm represent that line. It is a reminder: Move on; choose better; listen to your heart. She also likes dragonies. There are several. “But,” she says, “I have to x it. These two have this element of beauty and uidity, and these look like stickers. So, I’m like, crap, it’s permanent!” Her laughter is contagious. Future plans include owning her own home. A nice kitchen, lots of windows, enough property, “something where I could put my hands in,” are priorities. Rebecca would like a dog and a life’s partner. Friends have commented that her requirements for a mate are a tall order. She says, “I got divorced because I wanted a partnership. That’s why I’m single. I don’t want to date. There’s just too much that I want Rebecca Harpcontinued on page 12
12JANUARY 2017Kate & Bill IslesAcoustic Folk Duo at Harbor Club Friday, January 13 at 7:30 p.m.By Joel Leonard Bill & Kate Isles are an acoustic singer/songwriter duo based in Duluth, Minnesota. Using a wide variety of musical styles, their performances carry audiences through a broad landscape of experiences from metaphorical worlds to small-town family stories and zany comedy. Consummate performers, they are known for their catchy melodies and memorable songs, many of them original. They tour nationally, presenting their profound songs for audiences large and small, from house concerts to festival stages and everything in between. Words like “Mesmerizing” “Transcendent”, and even “Hysterical” are common descriptions from audience reviews, and audience members feel that they are listening to stories of their own lives, told by two of their best friends. They have toured nationally as a duo, full-time, since early 2007, performing 100-150 shows per year. CDs will be available. The Folk Music Club has invited this professional duo to Pelican Cove and we are requesting donations at the door. The next community singalong will take place on Sunday, January 29 at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is invited; song books are available and the Pelican Cove String Band will be there to lead. replacement-value coverage for our buildings and carports with deductibles of $2,500 per occurrence, 3% per year for hurricane damage to our buildings, and 3% per occurrence for wind/hail damage to our carports.
