It doesn’t seem possible that it is already April and that the last HOA meeting for this season is about to be called to order. Where does the time go? Most of us thought that after the Park Olympics were over things would slow down, but we know that doesn’t happen in Holiday Park. The month of March was very busy. Some of the activities that took place included the corned beef dinner, a dance on the 15th featuring a classic rock band, the golf cart parade, and also tournaments held by the tennis and pickle ball clubs. In April there will be a pizza party on the 12th, and also a fun night at the races on the 26th. A light lunch will be served that night, free popcorn will be available, and of course soda, water, and an adult beverage can be purchased for a nominal fee. Hopefully, there will be lots of winners, but we know everyone will have a great time. Preparations are already being made for some super activities to be held during the summer and news about these events will be published in the May article. For those residents heading up north for the summer, have a safe trip and please don’t forget to notify the Park office of your summer address, also, have a care taker lined up to do weeding and check on your property while you are gone, and most importantly put all your outside furniture, grills, bikes etc. away so they will not blow around in case of a storm. On behalf of all the residents in the Park, I would like to thank all the HOA council members for all their efforts during this season and also all the APRIL 2014 1 wonderful volunteers who were always willing to help out whenever they were needed. Bob Schleer President HOA BOARD OF TRUSTEES At the regular meeting of the Holiday Park Board of Trustees held on Thursday, March 13th, four Park residents who were candidates for the Board election spoke to the residents assembled there about their reasons for wanting to be a Trustee, and each of them gave a brief resume of their beliefs, backgrounds and qualifications. These four residents were Karin Anderson, Dick Gortz, Judy McClennan, and Mike Nasalski. The election was held on March 25th and the results will be published next month. A special thanks to office secretary Christina Meeker and bookkeeper Cindi Calderone for the fine job they did preparing and mailing out all the election notice letters as well as preparing the fliers and newspaper announcements regarding the election. These ladies do a great job in the office for all of us and we should all take time to thank them. Board Chairperson Diane Schleer reported on a recently held mediation between the District and a Park resident regarding a dog issue. As a result of the mediation, the resident agreed to abide by the Deed Restrictions regarding pets by keeping his pet on a leash at all times outside of his home, cleaning up after his animal and placing the pet in a back room when the resident is away from his home. Chairperson Schleer also announced that the annual reorganizational meeting of the Board will be held on Monday, March 31, 2014, in the Phase 1 hall at 5PM.

These included repairs to the front pedestrian gate, and a door closer in the Phase II dart room. Also, repairs were made to the kayak rack in the Phase 1 compound, remounting of an overhead light in the Phase 1 pool room was done, as well as the installation of several new bricks on the memorial pathway. Additionally, the geothermal heaters were repaired at the Phase 1 pool and many trees were trimmed throughout the Park. A plumbing leak was fixed at the Phase 11 pool pump, several mailbox posts were replaced, and all common areas were sprayed for fire ants. Our maintenance employees do an excellent job of keeping our Park looking so great and the Board is very pleased with the work they do every day. The Board voted to approve a new line item to be placed in the restricted reserve section of the budget for a new pickle ball court, and also agreed to construct four new horseshoe pits in the Phase 11 shuffleboard court HOLIDAY PARK area. Also, permission was given to a resident on Palena Blvd. to have an emotional support animal and the Board designated two parking spaces near the laundry room in Phase 11 and one space outside the laundry room in Phase 1 as reserved spaces for persons using the laundry facilities. Some topics the Board will be discussing at upcoming workshops include creating a mission statement for the Board, creating a code of ethics for members of the Board as well as a resolution describing consequences if a Trustee violates this code. The Board will also be reviewing and updating the Trustee handbook, and deciding if cameras should be purchased for the back gates and the compounds. Additionally, the Board will be reviewing the budget for the 2014, 2015 fiscal year. Hopefully, the residents of Holiday Park recognize and appreciate the time and effort the members of the Board put in on your behalf. We are constantly trying to do our best to continue to make our Park the best one in the area.

The Board, also, realized that the Park was in need of a fence around the perimeter. It seems outside The shuffleboard season is drawing to the end people were walking in, using our laundry and using our for many of our players. We had our banquet on pools. This was the first major change to the Park, and as 10 March 15th. After our meal we elected officers you can imagine, it was not taken lightly or taken well by 8 8 for the 2014/2015. This year the "Club Cham- all residents. At the time Tuscola Blvd. was owned by the pionship" trophy was awarded to Murray city and was a drive-thru for all people to get to Biscayne 7 7 Potter.

We didn't our responsibility to maintain it. The fence, after much come in first, but be held our discussion, was passed by a small majority. It has since own!!! We would like to thank the H.O.A., Men's Club and proved to be a good move on the part of the Board and Trustees for their donations towards the purchase of our those that voted for it. When the Board decided to put in new scoreboards. They are working out just great. Come gates, the gate house that was at the end of Tuscola had on down, grab a stick and maybe have a laugh or two. to be moved to its present location, which is in line with Blessings!!! our boundary lines. When the guardhouse was moved, a Bev Borkowsk bathroom was added per regulations of the County. At first we had volunteers man the gate house, 2 hours at a time. A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME As we were among the youngest in the Park, we took one We had our parties and now it’s back to reality and of early morning times. We, also, had a patrol headed by working to keep our Park on track. I say we had our party, the North Port Police Department. We used our own cars but going back in the scrapbooks we have, any occasion in but had a telephone that went directly to the Police Dept. Holiday Park turned into a party. The Birthday, Anniversa- in case they were needed. We signed up for one night a ry, Newcomers Party had their chorus but individuals did week for 4 four weeks. At the beginning of each month, all solos and of course our emcees loved to tell jokes, which that were to do duty for that month, met with our rep and seems to have continued through the years. We had two he went over what our duties were. We were specifically dances a month with great bands and there was never an told not to confront any situation we deemed not to be empty floor. On New Year’s Eve, we had father time and the right, but to call the police and they would come in and baby. During the late 70’s and early 80’s we had name en- take care of it. We had 2 hour shifts and at the end you took tertainers here and you could buy a ticket for $20.00 that the equipment to the next person. I believe there were gave you admission to 4 shows. We also had a movie night, three shifts each night from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight. where we rented movies and showed them in the main When it began to be difficult to get volunteers, the Board hall. In 1984 the Holiday Parkettes were born. Peg Shaw, decided it was time to hire guards for our front gates. Each a resident in the park and a tap dancer thought it would resident had a pass on their car to enter the front gate that be nice to have a tap team, so she got about 13 ladies and the guard could see. We had a pass similar to the ones we taught them how to dance. There were a couple, Lauretta use now to open the back gate. When the fence was put Busone and Myrt Martenis, that had done tap dancing, so in, the question was: how do we pay for it? The answer was between them all, they started the group. If you needed a one-time assessment of $5.00 to each resident added entertainment, the rumor around the Park was call the to our yearly assessment. This was enough to pay for the Parkettes and they were there. We had costumes, will gate and its installation. It soon became very obvious that travel. For several years the Parkettes had a float in the we needed a full-time Park Manager and not one that was HOLIDAY PARK only on-site 2 or 3 days a week and that we needed the books in the office all the time. So began the look for a person to fill this position. We were told we probably would find one, but our first Park Manager would probably stay with us for only a couple of years. We were lucky. We found our Park Manager in the person of Tom Burris, very qualified to undertake this position. He was hired in November of 1995 and stayed with us for 10 years. The next time we meet you will meet Tom and you will understand why we were the lucky ones as we continue our “Journey Back in Time”. Betty Hart We have had some great rides lately. The first was Myakka State Forest (not to be confused with Myakka State Park) off River Road. Roger Colthorp was the leader on this pedal. Seven of us took this adventure on a beautiful Florida day. Most of us had not been there before and were pleasantly surprised what a nice place. It was all bike path so no cars to deal with; that is always a plus in my book. It was a combination of sunny sections and then great shady areas. Very pretty and so glad Roger introduced us to this area. Dave Baker was the lead on our next ride through Deer Prairie Creek. We have done this area before but not through the grassy paths that Dave guided us through. It was a very hard pedal but so very worth it. Such a pretty area, sections were open fields and then you would go into shade tree areas and then down near the water. It really had many different views. We spied a loaded orange tree at the beginning of our ride and decided that would be great to stop there on the way back and pick ourselves a few oranges, nothing like fresh oranges from the tree. So that is what we did on the return route. A few of us peeled one of the oranges and wow, I mean wow, was it sour! Never have I tasted an orange that bitter. So bummer, no oranges for us. After we returned to the cars and loaded our bikes back up we drove about a mile or two to Carlton Reserve and did a short birding walk courtesy of Jack Capper and Joe Rothermund. Joe did his bird call for the redheaded woodpecker and soon Jan Baker spotted one such bird in a tree not far from us. It was a bit hard to see him and we were all so glad it went to a nearby tree that had no foliage so we could all clearly spot him. Joe and Jack had their binoculars with them and we all were able to get a close up look, it was so cool. Cape Haze was our next destination. Another great day for a bike ride. It was a bit windy but not a problem. We made several stops, specifically at the first bridge over Coral Creek. What a view. We stayed awhile enjoying the birds and fish and scenery. They off we went to the pier at the other end of Coral Creek. Just so lovely by the water. Lorna and Al Patey planned our next ride which was Pine Island. They used to live there so they were able to BICYCLE RIDERS APRIL 2014 5 give good insight on the island. Our first stop was a beach area. Lorna said that most areas are very rocky and this was the only one that was a sandy beach in the St. James City area. We got back on the bikes and rode about 5 miles and then stopped at the Pateys friends place by the water. Their friend had given Al and Lorna the thumbs up to bring our group by and we enjoyed their outside patio/tiki hut right along the water’s edge. After that we biked some of the streets in St. James City seeing many views of the water, it was all so pretty. Then on the return trip to where we parked the cars we stopped at a nature trail going right out through the mangroves. Very beautiful. Back on the bikes we returned to our cars. A Dairy Queen is on the island, so I guess I don’t have to tell you what we did next!! Many thanks to Roger, Dave and the Pateys. Kathy Armstrong is leading our next ride, Palm Island. That is always a favorite. We ferry over to the island and then she will take us through the streets on the island, and then lunch at Rum Bay. Will be a great ride and many thanks to her for making this ride happen. Phillis VanKirk March 1st the monthly tennis meeting was held with Mike Conrathe TENNIS CLUB presiding. Plans were finalized for the many activities happening in March. The Mixed Doubles tournament is scheduled March 12th and 15th. Roland Ficken and Judy McClennan handle this tournament. It is the only one of our monthly fun tournaments that is on a more serious note. All our members look forward to watching some fine tennis during this tournament. We have a picnic on the day of the finals to celebrate the winning champions and all of the participants. The second annual Shuffleboard tournament will be held March 23rd. Mike Conrathe will handle the set up of play with the assistance of Ed Reynolds from the Shuffleboard Club. Mike Nasalski is handling the picnic part. This event was a huge hit last year, everyone enjoyed getting together and having some fun on the shuffleboard courts. Our end of the year banquet (say it isn’t so!!) will be held at Luigi’s in Port Charlotte on Sunday March 30th. Brad Carlston and Bill Wells have made the arrangements for this event. Winners of the Mixed Doubles tournament will be honored and given their trophies at this time. March is a busy time, league play is still happening and lots of extra activities. So many of our members take time to handle things for our tennis club, from social events, to league play, to doing a little extra for maintaining the courts, and then of course the Park, we are so pleased with the third court and the maintenance staff for all they do from blowing off the courts to getting our coffee and tea set up for the various events. Thanks to everyone, another mighty fine season in Holiday Park! Phillis VanKirk, Court Reporter "Court Report" HOLIDAY PARK Wednesday, Feb., 26th 13 of us launched out of the North Jetty in Nokomis and paddled the ICW. Must have seen at least 40 pelican fledglings preening and napping atop the pilings. We came across a nest of turkey vultures… magnificent birds…and watched some snowy egrets ‘fishing’! Walter found a bunch of ‘Spanish dancers’ that we enjoyed watching for quite a while. The paddle back got a bit sketchy, with 3 foot waves in the ‘narrows’, so all but one daring soul, who shall remain nameless, pulled out at the public ramp! A few of us trudged back about ½ mile on foot to retrieve some vehicles, return and rescue the lollygaggers! Picnic lunch, great camaraderie and a beautiful day to be on the water! Contact Frank Rieser@flash.net if you would like info on the Wednesday paddles! KAYAKERS Here are the results of the photo contest for 2014.

If you have any medical equipment stored in your home that was loaned to you through HELPING HAND and you are not using it, we could use it in our HH storage unit for others to use. Also, could you do us a favor and return the equipment cleaned of food and potties scrubbed with a disinfectant? Members of the HH committee will be calling to see if you still need the equipment signed in your name. Please call: Bill Nugent 423-1066 or Lou Kremer 4263228 to have your equipment picked up. We appreciate your help in this situation. Thank you from the HH committee. Marie Doran HELPING HAND TREE PROGRAM TREE WORK REPORT - Helping Hand Committee has been busy with tree work since the March issue of this paper. We worked on 41 different homeowner's properties by trimming and removing trees. Removing dead trees and trimming live ones improves the appearance of the park. Tips while you are away. If you have a new planting, arrange for your care taker to water them until the rainy seasons begins in June. Do fertilize any plantings before you leave the park. Osmocote is the trade name of a slow release fertilizer that works well in sandy soils. You will be surprised how your plants will respond when you return. Urea is a slow release form of nitrogen that will be helpful also. Alden Miller, HH Committee member Helping Hand Committee APRIL 2014 7 the Loner Program.
