The fourth of July has come and gone and here in Colony Cove we celebrated it in style.
Our parade, sponsored by the 301 Cruisers Golf Cart Club, stepped off at 10:30 with 77
carts participating. After traveling the many streets in the community they arrived at
12:00 at Harmony Hall. After a short ceremony by our resident master of ceremonies,
Russ Uboldi, lunch was served consisting of hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, chips
and soft drinks. This annual event was hosted by the HOA Board with help from HOA
members and sponsored by community management. The attendance was appreciably
higher than in past years and many residents commented that they saw many unfamiliar
faces in attendance. This resulted in the workers who volunteered to serve being unable
to eat because all the food was gone after the last “resident” was fed. Management has
decided to issue tickets to future events which will give us a more accurate count so we
have plenty of food available. There will be no cutoff date as we always order a percentage
of food above anticipated guests. Out of state guests will be given tickets to attend. The
event will still be free but a ticket will be required.
As all residents know, what you hear at the pool is the honest to God truth, we want
to quell some of the new home rent rumors. It is very simple, whatever you heard is no
longer a viable option dealing with rents. As June 30, 2015 all previous new home rent
incentives have been discontinued. There was an eight year tiered discount plan but
again, it is no longer an available incentive plan.
One of the issues residents have been complaining about is the deplorable condition of the
furniture in our pools. We, the HOA, have been addressing this issue with management and
those efforts have come to a conclusion. Bids are being solicited to replace all pool furniture
with higher seat requirements, at all the pools except Harmony pool since that furniture is
relatively new. Management hopes to have this accomplished in the next 90 days.
One of the problems residents have had in procuring wrist bands when guests arrive on
the weekend is no longer a problem. The office is now open on weekends with Saturday
hours from 10:00am to 5:00pm and Sunday from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. This will eliminate
the excuse that residents could not get the wrist bands because of the weekend. Patrol
will be more diligent in checking to see that only authorized residents and their guests
use our facilities.
If you live near the Ellenton Hall area or use the club house you will find cross walk
signs erected at the 4 way intersection. We hope all residents will heed these signs and
give the right of way to pedestrians. This, too, was a project we have been working with
management to address.

Welcome Committee
The Welcome Committee in Colony Cove is part of the HOA. With the cooperation
of the Colony Cove Office we visit and hand out information, along with gifts,to the
new residents. We are so delighted to be part of this wonderful community and wish
to share our enthusiasm with all who move here. If anyone knows of a new resident
that has not been contacted by the Welcome Committee and would like to receive a
visit, please call Diane Barrie #776-7239 or Pam Graham #776-4917.
Thank you.
A Note from the Colony Cove Office
• Please list your site number on all rent payments.
• If you get a new vehicle, please remove the barcode and bring into the office for
replacement. This is the only way you are guaranteed to receive a new barcode at NO
CHARGE.
When selling your home
"For Sale By Owner"
A Few Things You Need To Know:
1. You need to request a "Rent Disclosure" from the Main Office.
2. You need to provide the Buyer of your home with your copy of the "Prospectus
Agreement".
(**Do not give your copy of the "Prospectus", until the Buyer has been APPROVED.)
3. You can obtain a copy of an application from the Office, so you have it handy for a
potential buyer.
**Important Reminder:
All Buyers/Homewowners have to be age-qualified, pass a
background and credit check.
All other Occupants who will be residing in the home, must be
age-qualified, pass a background check and be approved by the
Office.
**Even if the Buyer already owns a home in Colony Cove, they have to call the
Office and talk to Ashley about approval for the new home.**
4. The Office will schedule an inspection of the outside of your home & lot. If anything
is not “in-compliance” according to the “Prospectus” Rules & Regulations, these issues
will have to be corrected in order to bring the home into “compliance” status, before
the closing will be approved.

The Lakes’ Club Of Colony Cove
While we can’t say that our Saturday Coffee Hour menu runs from soup to nuts - since
it really includes only coffee and doughnuts - we can say that the “events” cover a wide
span of activities and interests running from music, comedy, congratulations, and even
helpful hints for general day to day living. Under that last category, and in line with our long-standing custom of caring and sharing, we want to advise you of some poisonous phone perpetrators and their scary schemes
now being inflicted upon the “elderly” here and everywhere. (This is not to say that we
are - or are among - the “elderly”, it is merely a heads up warning should one of these
phantom callers contact the “Young You”!)
1. The Grandma Scam - the caller will claim that your grandchild has been in an auto
accident (or some other dire emergency situation) and needs money wired to him immediately.
2. The IRS Scam - the caller will warn you of a serious problem with your income tax
return and threaten you with heavy fines or imprisonment unless you forward him money
immediately.
3. The Jury Duty Scam - the caller will state that you ignored your notice to report for
Jury Duty, and to avoid a serious penalty, or worse, you must send him money immediately.
Note the repeated use of the “immediate” and “urgent” need for money and/or the resulting request for your personal information, including possibly account numbers etc.
to set up its transmittal. It is absolutely essential to zip our lips instantaneously to any
such requests - and - according to the Police Department, we need report any call of this
type to:
Federal Communications Commission:- 1-888-225-5322 On a brighter note, be sure to check out and mark your calendars in advance with all
of the Fall up-coming Florida Travel events. The menu includes a trip to suit every taste!
Enjoy!

Boy, oh Boy, has it been a scorcher this summer! Our electric bills are just inching up,
aren't they?! You have to admit, though, the rain is oh so welcome, and the clouds, at least
part of the day, lend us some relief. Fourth of July came and went without incident in the Hood, meaning accidents or
injuries. The parade was quite colorful and impressive with the “Ol Red, White, and Blue”
waving proudly. The luncheon and ensuing pool party took the edge off all the oven-like
temps! We certainly hope the fish are biting, judging from the good use to which the
Riverside Pavilion dock has been put! Families are down visiting on summer vacations,
the boats are coming and going out of the “yacht club,” and the pools are brimming with
laughter and beautiful suntans to take back North.
The new homes all over the park lend a well-deserved elegance to our community! The
Spring push for spiffing up yards, spray cleaning home exteriors, new mulch, trimmed
trees/palms truly warrants the signs around the neighborhood as “thank you's” for all the
beautification. With that said, we hope all the new residents in the South, West, and North
ends of the park continue to investigate all the wonderful activities available in Colony
Cove on both sides of the highway.
The Summer Solstice, June 21st, swiftly passed us by, and now our sunlight slowly
slips away minute by minute, but that doesn't mean residents in the park—whether
South club members, residents old and new, or guests—should miss out on our weekly,
Saturday morning coffees. Bring your mug and a $1.00 to enjoy donuts, old friends, and
new acquaintances. The first and third Saturdays of the month offer a chance at 50/50, so
bring your coin/penny jar!
At our July Board meeting we are drumming up ideas to enhance coffee hour such as
Earth Box demonstrations, Pet Adoption/Rescue presentations, even a Salvation Army
visitor on volunteer opportunities for the holidays and/or an informative discussion on
community needs. We would appreciate any/all suggestions for making Saturday Coffee
Hour not only an opportunity for friendship and positive acquaintances, but something
productive and informative showcasing a wider variety of our community's diversity.
Membership business meetings have been put on hold until October when the Snowbirds fly south for the winter, once again to fill the park full of activities. South Club Board
continues to meet monthly throughout the year the first Tuesday, 9:30 a.m., at Bayshore
House.
Despite the absence of some members, South Club Board meetings are filled with
new and exciting ideas for the coming year and all of our new residents. For example, we
are “kicking the beach ball around” for late Summer/early Fall, possibly with an outdoor
cookout at the Riverside Pavilion with burgers, hot dogs, etc. and, of course, BYOB! Rumor
has it that little drink umbrellas, Hawaiian necklaces, a Tropical Shirt contest, and croquet
are in the works. We shall see how the membership chips in on the idea!
Alas.......the Dog Days are upon us, and that means getting out with your dog (or cat)
and catching a sunset or two with your beverage of choice because, before you know it,
three months of holidays will spur us into crazy mode!
In the Good Old Summer Time!
Don't forget: the beach is good to swing and sway to great music!

Colony Cove Friendly Social Club
We are certainly experiencing “The Dog Days of Summer” outside, however, inside The Friendly Social
Club has been creating some of their own heat!
Bob Sobon, once again, hosted a fabulous event. At the “Get Up, Get Down” dance, Sarasota Slim
entertained the crowd with great music for listening and dancing. Bob served up sandwiches and other
goodies FREE for all to enjoy. Thank you to Bob and all his volunteers for a great night!!
Becky Pierson will chair the “ADD Dance” on August 12th with the “Accidentals” playing some good
old rock and roll. FSC invites ALL residents to our summer events. Just get your tickets at Saturday’s coffee.
We are already in the final month of Summer. Time sure flies when you have to spend your days basking
in the sun at the pool but we have lots to look forward to this Fall. Two dances in September, our huge
Halloween dance in October, a dance AND our Thanksgiving dinner in November and wrapping up 2015
with our annual Christmas Dinner/Dance.
We invite any new residents, or even if you’ve lived in the Cove for years, to come out on a Saturday
morning and have coffee and doughnuts on us. See what we’re all about! Buy tickets to our events. Hear
what other clubs in CC are doing and catch up with neighbors and friends. We’d love to see you.
Meetings start at 8:30am but you can come and socialize from 7am on. Membership is only $10 per
person for an entire year. We have over 900 members and we would like to add YOU to our role.

Obituaries
Helen M. Willard died peacefully on Friday May 29, 2015
with family at her side, at Madonna Living Community in
Rochester, MN. She was 92. Her’s was a life well lived.
Helen was born November 18, 1922 in Champaign, Illinois
to George and Clara (Heintz) Alsop. She grew up in Champaign and was one of eleven children in a busy family. Helen
graduated from Champaign High School and entered the
U.S. Coast Guard, serving during the war from 1943 to 1945.
Helen married Ralph F. Willard on September 6, 1946, after
Ralph’s discharge from the U.S. Marine Corp where he served
in combat in the south Pacific islands.
Helen and her husband, Ralph, spent 30+ years as a military family in the U.S. Army. Their Army adventure took
them to postings across the U.S. and Europe. Helen was a
loving mother to two sons, Dennis and Mike. Whether she
was hiking the ridges of the Zugspitze in Bavaria, strolling the sidewalks of the Champs
Elysees in Paris or crossing the Atlantic with her family on the MST “Rose”, Helen was the
consummate military wife and mother --- self sufficient, courageous, and resourceful.
She endured “hardship” tours of separation from her husband when he was away for 13
months at a time in Korea and Viet Nam – raising her sons and keeping the home fires
burning. At her core she was tough and resilient --- all of these, traits that would define
her in her later years.
Helen and Ralph retired from the Army in 1972 and moved to Orlando, Florida. During
her years in Orlando, she worked in the retail department store business for Burdines of
Florida. In 1983 she and Ralph moved to Colony Cove, on the west coast of Florida where
she truly enjoyed her “Florida years” surrounded by great friends, good books, and the
Gulf of Mexico.
In 2002 with blindness setting in from macular degeneration, Helen relocated to Rochester, MN to be close to her son Mike and wife Barbara. True to her credo, she summoned
the courage and strength to move yet again at age 80 to build a rich life with new friends.
She made her home at Madonna Towers, a decision her family will always celebrate for
the care and kindness she received as a resident. Helen was an inspiration and touchstone
to many who needed encouragement to face the challenges of advancing age. Helen
embraced her faith in God at Zumbro Lutheran Church.
Helen is survived by her two sons and their wives, Dennis (Kathy) Willard of West Chester, PA. and Mike (Barbara) Willard of Rochester, MN.; two brothers, John (Betty) Alsop
and Robert (Carla) Alsop of Champaign, Illinois; grandchildren Heather (John) Sherwin
of Rochester, MN, and Tracey Willard of Clearwater, FL, Jennifer (Jamie Molin) Willard of
Jacksonville, FL, Andy (Irene) Willard of Rye, NY., and 4 great grandchildren.
Helen was preceded in death by her parents Clara and George Alsop, her husband
Ralph, her granddaughter Heidi Jones, and 8 brothers and sisters.
A private memorial service will be held at Madonna Towers for her friends at Madonna
Living Community at 10:00 am on Wednesday, June 3, 2015. In lieu of flowers, memorials
are preferred to Zumbro Lutheran Church, 624 3rd Ave. S.W., Rochester MN, 55902.
Helen was laid to rest beside her husband Ralph on Friday June 5, 2015 in Mansion
Memorial Park, 1400 36th Ave. Ellenton Florida, 34222, with final arrangements being
handled by Groover Funeral Home.
In Memory
Chuck Cobb
Nagle, Joseph Leo, beloved husband of Phyllis (Little) and loving father of 3 children.
passed away June 20, 2015. He was 95 years old and lived in Ellenton, FL for 33 years.
Leo was born in Everett, MA and grew up in Saugus, MA. He was number 4 of 13 children.
He is survived by siblings: Katherine Leonard of Salem, MA, Charles Nagle of Nashua, NH,

Nagle, Rita Walsh, John Nagle, Lawrence Nagle, James Nagle, Thomas Nagle, and David

First Class. In the South Pacific, he was in the battles of Okinawa, Guadalcanal, Leyte Gulf
and several others. He was also involved in the invasion of Sicily and North Africa.
After the war, he was employed by General Electric for 42 years as a machinist at the
Everett and Lynn plants. During his retirement he continued to use his machinist skills to
create beautiful works of art out of metal in Ellenton, Florida. For several years, he received
many first and second place awards for his works of art at the Florida State Fair. Some of
his award winning art sculptures from metal scraps include the “Eiffel Tour”, leaning tower
of “Pisa” and also a restored 1901 “Oldsmobile Roadster”. He made numerous pieces of art
sculpture for his family and siblings.
He is survived by his loving wife Phyllis of almost 70 years and his children, Sandra von
Holten and her husband Ernest of Wakefield, MA, Patricia Nagle and her husband JeanPierre of Paris, France and Robert Nagle and his long time partner, Cheri Davis of Largo,
Florida. Grandchildren include: Christopher Eckman and his wife Rebekah Pite, Melissa
Binette and her husband Martin and Lea Richard. Great-grandchildren include Sophia and
Elijah Pite-Eckman and Camden and Hadley Binette. He is also leaving behind his beloved
canine companion “Bella” the dachshund who was at his side constantly.

South Quilt Club July 2015
This month’s Breeze features an assortment of projects that are being done in quilting,
one being a beautiful wall hanging by Sue and a quilt as you go “chevron”.
We also received a large donation of beautiful hard covered and soft covered books
from our neighbor who had a benefit sale for son who has cancer and what was left over
she donated to our club, thanks so much Dorothy.
We are all very busy making an assortment of items for an upcoming bazaar in hopes
that we can bring some funds into our group for specialty items and also for repairs on our
loaner machines. Right now our members are paying for them out of their own pockets.
If you would like to learn how to quilt, now is the time for you to stop by and learn from
all of us our group is at its lowest since many of our members are snowbirds. So if you
would love to learn, please come down and join us. If you are not joining because you do
not have a sewing machine you should know that we have a few loaners on hand so you
can certainly join our group.
Would like to also remind everyone that we are always looking for donations of scrap
material or any type of sewing articles, we love to take donations. It’s amazing what this
group can create with scrap material. If you have a donation please drop them off at 315
Alkmaar Street or call and I will pick it up (722-5453). We would appreciate it if you did
not leave any materials or sewing notions at Barbara Clancy’s carport.
We meet every Friday at 9AM to 3PM at Friendship Hall. Many of us stay and have lunch
together. We are also extending our hours to Tuesdays between Noon and 4:00pm.
Remember our club is free, there is no membership fee. So please stop by and visit with
us. We all look forward to meeting you. Also remember that the Quilt Club continues all
year long, we still quilt for the summer months i.e.: May, June, July, August so please
stop by if you are interested in learning.

We bravely tried some fabric painting last month thanks to Mara Trumbo, her wonderful
patterns and expert instruction. Mara teaches at Keeton’s in Bradenton periodically. Watch
for her August classes - Colony Cove Art Club or Keeton’s on facebook. If you are new to
the area, Keeton’s also has great Art Supply pricing and monthly specials. Mara had Lucy
using oils this past week, and Lucy’s seascape is looking fabulous. It should be finished
for next months issue of the Breeze!
We are pleased to welcome prospective new members: Michael Ness, Charlie Covino
and Linda Web. Happy to have you join us, and hope you learn a lot as well as have fun!
Some of our members enjoyed the “Florida Highwaymen” (small group of African American landscape artists who began painting in 1950’s) opening reception July 10th. It was
held at Palmetto Historical Park & Manatee County Agricultural Museum, 515 10th.Ave.
W., Palmetto. The private collection exhibit will be through August 15th. Call 721.2034 if
interested in a tour.
I would like to thank one of our key founders, Jan Hart, as well, past and current officers
and members for their continued role in keeping the Art Club painting! And of course, we
would not have a place to paint as a group without Colony Cove’s Bayshore House. Thank
you! - Barb

Wisconsin/Minnesota Club
It’s hard to believe the fireworks are over and Labor Day is fast approaching. It won’t be too
much longer before our snowbirds feel the pull to come south.
Last year we missed out on any extra activities because of deadlines that were so far ahead. Not
so this year; the port tour reservations will be made in October. That is before our first meeting
of the 2015/­2016 Season. The reservations will hold a spot for us. Names and birth dates have to
be submitted well before the tour date. Security at the port is important and we want to abide
by their rules!
The first meeting will be the Welcome back Coffee on Monday, November 2, at Ellenton Hall at
9:30 a.m. This is always a nice time to see who is back and who is yet to come. We will also discuss
future dates and activities. Birth dates will be taken for those who wish to attend the port tour.
No dues will be collected.
The November Potluck is on Saturday, November 21, at Ellenton Hall. Social time from 12 to
12:30 p.m. Serving will begin at 12:30 p.m. The club will provide the meat, and members are asked
to bring a dish to pass that will serve at least eight. (We will determine what the meat will be at
the Welcome Coffee.) Please bring your own table service and beverage. Coffee will be provided
by the club.
Anyone with ties to either Minnesota or Wisconsin is invited to join us. We even have some
members who have ties to people who have ties to Minnesota or Wisconsin! We do not allow
cliques, complainers, or just plain grumpy people. Bring a good attitude and join us. Call the
Browns if you have any questions (224-­1424).
Thought for the day which was attributed to John Wayne: Life is hard, but a lot harder if you
are stupid.
Colony Cove Ohio Club
Colony Cove Ohio Club’s June meeting was held at the Friendship Hall.
The Pennsylvania Club
Here we are just broiling away..
To enjoy Florida’s wondrous winters
It’s the price we gotta’ pay.
Have to wake up early in the morning
And get work done right away
But, for some that daybreak theory
Can just ruin the whole day!
We’ve all got great expectations
Of more exciting days ahead,
But don’t rustle me too early
Out of my resuscitating bed!
We’ll be ready soon for our Coffees,
And set for trips and adventures, too
But now we’re just sitting steaming
In the simmering August stew.
Check all later BREEZE’s for our Club’s
List of things to do.
And pray the light hurricane forecast Really does come true!
Year ‘round info: Mel Jacoby, President 479 4283

August, 2015
Only a few month away and then we will be back bowling at the Alley in Apollo Beach.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet some new friends, exercise your heart out, and have
some fun.
We have 12 teams signed up to bowl this year. We still need some men and women to
complete a 4 person team, so if you would like to be a part of our league please call me
as soon as possible. Just a reminder that our teams may have no more than 2 men per
team. A team may have a team of 3 women and 1 man. Don’t wait too long as our teams
usually fill up by the beginning of our league play.
We have our beginning of the year meeting on Thursday, October 8th at 1 p.m. at the
Alley in Apollo Beach (it is easy to get there by going north on 75, exit Big Bend Road). At
our October meeting the bylaws will be given out to team captains. After the meeting we
will have time to bowl a few games to prepare for our opening league play on the 15th
of October.
Our league is a fun league; you won’t be disappointed by joining us. Life is too short
and unhealthy to stay home; get up, get out and come join us on Thursday afternoon in
October.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am posting this from Yellowstone National Park,
way the heck out in Wyoming. We left in early June and this is early July. We
have seen many spectacular sights and will see some more as this next month
flows by. If you have not seen the Florida Caverns up in Mariana FL State Park,
it should be on your bucket list and its close. From FL to MS to OK we visited
family then the vacation started once we were headed to South Dakota for Mt.
Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial. But we have been in the Bad Lands
(bridge out, 17 miles of washboard dirt roads), seen Wall Drugs and even visited
the Devils Tower without any Encounters of the Third Kind…haha.
We have another month probably on the road, some more Wyoming, Utah,
Arizona, Texas and home. The members have been doing an awesome job. I
heard that we got some walls painted, some bearings replaced in the LOUD
drum sander and some other odds and ends. Please enjoy a couple of my
photos. We intend on putting a lot on line at our website.
Mary and I wish all the best and a wonderful Summer for our Snowbirds.
LET'S MAKE SOME SAWDUST TOGETHER
And do a little Clean Up

Garden Club News
Summer Gardening
WOW, have you seen the gardens lately? Many folks mistakenly believe you can’t grow
anything in the summer months and as a result some of our gardeners have given up.
Others have put forth the time and effort to obtain a bountiful harvest. Just like many of
us “older folks”, the HEAT affects the gardens as well. Watering remains the key to a lush
garden. REMEMBER water the dirt NOT the leaves. Water your garden early in the morning
or later in the day to receive the most benefit.
I’m including pictures of some of the gardens. If you see someone working in the garden be sure to stop by and tell them what a GREAT job they are doing in spite of the heat
index.
In order to obtain a plot you must sign an Agreement committing that you will attend
to your garden at least three times per week. In addition you commit to donate one hour
of your time per month to the overall appearance of the garden and to assist those who
might be ill or taking a short vacation. Monthly meetings are held every first Wednesday
of the month at 9:00am at the garden. Though these meetings are not mandatory, they
are very beneficial because much information and suggestions are shared.
There are still a couple of plots available so if you want one or know of someone else
that is interested in obtaining one, please contact me.
Deborah Bender, Garden President

Ed Loeffler, Colony Cove’s Bus Driver is our Model Gardner for the month of July. Ed is a
prime example of someone who loves gardening and how dedication and perseverance
can produce a beautiful garden. He is shown here with a few of the crops he planted from
seed which are corn, tomatoes, bell peppers, beans, watermelon and cantaloupe.
Other gardeners have planted okra, hot peppers, squash, radishes, blueberries, carrots,
strawberries, sage, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves.

“29” ers Cribbage Results
A very quiet month again. This month again we had lower
numbers. 6/10/& 7 Players One week only 3 turned up so
we did not play. Disappointing for the 3, me included. We
like our Cribbage. Some of our players went to Daytona
for a Tournament and some came back with money. Well
done to them. Brian this month did well. He had money all
3 weeks with a 1st and 2 other places plus the quarter pot
2 weeks. He also had a 28 hand, but as the “Skunk” is out of
operation, did not get any money for it. Bad luck.
As you can see we are desperate for more players. We WILL
NOT BE playing for month of August. We will resume on the
1st Friday in September 2015@ Harmony Hall @1.00PM. Sign
in at 12.45PM. So if you can play cribbage do come and join
us. We had one new player join us on the 3rd July.

classically trained singers. Atilio Marinelli is a powerful, dramatic tenor and his wife Christy
is a lovely, lyrical mezzo­soprano. When their gorgeous voices intertwine, it is nothing short
of magical. Their show brings to life all the favorite love duets from films such as “Moulin
Rouge”, “Pearl Harbor” and “The Godfather”. These two experienced stage performers
aren’t content to just stand and sing, they act out each song. Christy transforms herself,
just by pulling her hair back, into a dying Evita Peron and sings the heartbreaking “Don’t
Cry for Me Argentina”. The audience gets into the swing by helping out with such Italian
favorites as “Volare” and “Funiculi/Funiculi”. This will be a truly enjoyable show.
