Sandpiper 592-5722 Sandbar 597-2781 Sunset Cafe 596-4799 The Pelican Bay Foundation, Inc. 6251 Pelican Bay Blvd. Naples, FL 34108 Mid April 2006 • Volume 7, No. 8 2006 Foundation election yields two new members By Gwen Rasiwala — Communications Director With four candidates in the running, the residents of Pelican Bay showed their support for two, who were officially announced at the Annual Meeting on March 27, to become members of the Foundation Board of Directors. Bob Naegele and Jim Carroll were the top vote getters in this year ’s election. The Foundation received 2,680 ballots in 2006, as compared to 2,534 in 2005 — with a total of 6,490 ballots having been sent out. This is a testament to the community’s interest in how Pelican Bay’s amenities are managed on their behalf. Bob Naegele Bob’s professional background includes advertising, real estate development and consumer products, with special interest in entrepreneurial ventures. In 1997, he led a group of investors to apply for and receive an NHL Expansion Franchise. The team, the Minnesota Wild, began play in the fall of 2000 in a new arena, the Xcel Center, in St. Paul, Minnesota. In Shorewood, Minnesota, a Minneapolis suburb, Bob was a planning commissioner for three years and a councilman for seven years. He has served as chairman of the Vizcaya Neighborhood Committee and was a member of the Bay Colony Community Association (BCCA) Board of Governors, under WCI control, from 1997-2000. Bob was a member of the Bay Colony Transition Committee 2000-2002, and after developer turnover, he was elected to be the first President of the BCCA under homeowner control for three years. He was elected President Emeritus in March 2005 by the Bay Colony Board of Governors and served as liaison between Bay Colony and the Pelican Bay Foundation during the annexation process. Jim Carroll Upon graduating from the Illinois Institute of Technology with a Mechanical Engineering degree, Jim Carroll joined Procter and Gamble’s Engineering Division located in Cincinnati, Ohio. His career with P&G lasted 36 years, the last 15 years of which he served as Chief Engineer of the company’s Corporate Engineering Division. Jim and his wife, De, have three children and seven grandchildren. His stay in Cincinnati found him spending time as chairman of the City’s Riverfront Development Committee and other volunteer activities. Pelican Bay has been the Carroll’s home for over 20 years. Jim was president of the Grosvenor Condominium for three years. During this assignment, he started and ran the Pelican Bay’s Presidents Council. Jim also spent time on the Foundation’s Cable Committee and Long Range Planning Committee. In the last eight years, Jim has devoted much of his time to the Pelican Bay Services Division as Board member, and as its Chairman for the last three years. At its recent organizational meeting, the Board of Directors elected its officers and committee chairs. Gerhard Seblatnigg will remain as Chairman. Merlin Lickhalter will remain as Vice-Chairman and be joined by newly elected Bob Naegele, who was also appointed as ViceChairman. Bob Uek was appointed as Treasurer and Michael Egan will continue as Secretary. Directors are Henry Price and Jim Carroll. The following Board representatives on standing committees were appointed: Legal Committee — Henry Price, Chair; Ted Raia, Vice Chair; Management Development & Compensation Committee — Bob Naegele, continued on page 3 PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID TAMPA, FL PERMIT NO. 2397 Read the Pelican Bay Post online www.pelicanbay.org Pelican Bay Post, Mid April 2006 1 E-mail: vh@victoriaharrison.com www.victoriaharrison.com Bonita Beach PELICAN BAY Bay Colony - Pelican Bay Pelican Bay Woods 239-592-5376 239-269-5400 Greentree - Pelican Bay Golf & Lake Views $6,100,000 $5,595,000 $2,700,000 $2,195,000 Oakmont - Pelican Bay Pelican Bay - Ridgewood Dr. Pelican Bay - Ridgewood Dr. Salerno at Bay Colony Pendi ng Sa le Lake Views $1,695,000 $1,695,000 $1,425,000 $1,450,000 Bentwood - Pelican Bay Woods The Brooks - Shadowood Wilshire Lakes Valencia - Pelican Bay Pendi Lakef ng Sa le r ont NEW $1,340,000 $1,175,000 $679,000 $595,000 & $629,000 Laurel Oaks - Pelican Bay Le Chateaux - Pelican Marsh St. Vincents - Pelican Bay Victoria Park Lakef Famil r ont $594,000, $619,000, & $620,000 $745,000 $674,500 y or In vesto rs $595,000 Check out my website at victoriaharrison.com and view more properties.

Security Ad-Hoc Committee seeks volunteers By Kyle R. Kinney, Foundation President With the current contractual arrangement with the Collier County Sheriff’s Department coming to a close, it has been recommended that an Ad-Hoc Committee be formed to obtain community input regarding community security — be it at the beach, berm or right in your own neighborhood. The Foundation seeks volunteers with an interest in helping to assess member input on this issue and who may have some professional background in community watch programs or a security background. If you think you may be interested, please contact the Foundation at memberservices @pelicanbay.org. The Strategic Planning Committee will be assisting in this report.

Personal Training has become very popular. Staff trainers provide the very best way to maximize use of equipment, develop a training schedule, and achieve personal fitness goals. Massage therapy is doing very well now due to excellent therapists, pricing, and promotion, not to mention word-of-mouth. Group Exercise classes, the last service phase to be introduced after the center opened, are enjoying strong participation in Pilates, Yoga, Pi-Yo, Spinning, and Stability Ball. In addition, two ballroom dance classes offered this spring filled quickly. Next season, indoor fitness will offer expanded classes to meet demand.

Pelican Bay Post, Mid April 2006 9 Foundation News Architectural design and review By Mireya Agnoli, Code Enforcement Director The Foundation’s Covenant Enforcement Department is responsible for the design and review of all exterior alterations within Pelican Bay. Overall, the majority of residents understand that if they intend to add square footage to their existing home, or perform significant exterior alterations, they must first obtain Foundation approval. Some members are of the opinion that “minor” items do not require the approval of the Foundation. However, this is incorrect — the General Declaration and Protective Covenants require that all exterior alterations be approved by the Foundation. The following is a general list of items that require approval; sufficient information should be attached with your request in order for the Foundation to make a decision. In addition, please check your specific Neighborhood Covenants for any other restrictions that may apply. 1) Antennas — Location of the antenna needs to be in an area that is not readily visible from adjacent streets and properties. Commercial properties and condominium associations who lease roof space for commercial antennas will not be approved if the antennas are visible from adjacent properties and streets. Site and roof plans are required, showing exact location of antennas and other ancillary equipment in relation to adjacent properties and streets. Generally, only 18" diameter satellite dishes will be considered for residential properties. Announcing the arrival of many new items on our floor! 2) Color change, exterior — Information provided with request must indicate existing color and the proposed new color by manufacturer and code. It is recommended that owners and Associations select two or three choices and paint samples on a small area of the structure to be painted. This will speed up the approval process and assist in the proper color selection. 3) Driveway and parking areas — No gravel or blacktop will be permitted except for commercial properties and Association roadways. All material changes including color will require a sample of each. Contractor plan and product literature/specifications are also requested. 4) Flags and Poles — Only the American flag is permitted. All flagpoles must be approved prior to installation and cannot be used as an antenna. For temporary flag requests other than the American flag, submit date, time and type of flag to be temporarily flown. For flagpole request, submit design with full specifications and product literature. In addition, submit site sketch to show the exact location where the pole is to be installed in relation to adjacent properties and streets. 5) Landscaping — Major changes to original landscaping will require a landscape plan, which will be reviewed by a Florida registered landscape architect. Minor changes may not require a complete plan or an architect’s review, however information provided must be complete, stating types, quantity, at-planting sizes of new material, and what plants they will be replacing. 6) Lighting, exterior — Major changes to exterior lighting, particularly for commercial properties and mid-rise condominium Associations, will require a lighting plan, which will be reviewed by a Foundation architect. Roadway and parking area lighting will also require a lighting plan as well as literature/specifications of all new fixtures. 7) Roof — Asbestos or fiberglass shingles are not acceptable.

Any change to roof involving color or material requires approval. Submit sample of new material to include any color change. Product literature on new material is also requested. 8) Signs — All signs, regardless of type, whether commercial or residential, require prior written approval before installation. This includes temporary as well as permanent signs. Replacement of existing Association signage is routine. A request to change existing entry signage must include schematic drawings with all dimensions, copy, color and exact location. The sign company can provide these details. On all commercial signage, it is recommended that owners contact covenant enforcement for details on restrictions as they vary depending on type. 9) Solar collectors — Typically mounted on roof, if at all possible, attempt to locate solar system where it will not be visible from adjacent streets or properties. A roof and or site plan is required showing proposed location in relation to adjacent properties and streets. 10) Temporary structures, tents/trailers — County permit is required in addition to Foundation approval. Approval for use is normally associated with special events, and time restrictions will be mandated by the Foundation. Requests should include date, time, reason, and other information to Life’ s Rewards •Outstanding Independent and Assisted Living •Desirable Location and Impeccable Grounds •Innovative Programs and Unparalleled Services •Award-Winning Management and Dedicated Staff Simply the Best Life has to Offer!

This is a sensitive issue to many residents, and therefore we suggest that adjacent property owners and Association residents be informed of any tree removal project. Request must include reason for removal, type of tree(s), and description of replacement tree to include type, height, span, etc. Association Board approval is required. 12) Vehicular parking — There are a number of restrictions, but basically, no commercial or recreationaltype vehicles, including motor homes, trailers, boats, etc., can be parked overnight within residential areas. In addition, a limit of three vehicles can be parked overnight in a driveway of a single-family neighborhood. Parking, however, is not permitted on the lawn or street. For temporary authorization to park any vehicle(s) that would not be authorized, submit full details of date, time, reason, type of vehicle, owner, license number, etc. 13) Walls and fences — Chain link fences are not permitted and other fences or walls cannot exceed six feet in height above the ground level of adjoining plot. All requests must include height, length, type, design, composition, material and location. Most walls and fences will be required to be planted on the exterior with appropriate shrubs and/or vines. 14) Shutters — Specify storm or decorative. Indicate whether electric or manual operation. Submit schematic showing window location, size and color of shutters. Provide specifications and product literature. Please note that the Covenant Enforcement department has a field inspector, and it can be rather uncomfortable to have this individual on your site letting you know that you must stop “improving” the landscaping until proper approval is granted by the Foundation. So remember, if it is your intent to perform any exterior alterations and you are unsure if it requires approval by the Foundation, please contact the Covenant Enforcement Department. Closing note: Hurricane clean-up The General Declaration and Protective Covenants — Section 8.05 — Duties in Event of Casualty (a) State: If any improvements located on any Plot are destroyed or damaged as a result of fire, windstorm, flood, tornado, hurricane or other casualty, the owner of such improvements shall remove all debris within ninety (90) days from the date that such damage or destruction occurred. The majority of residents diligently performed cleanup after “Wilma” (which occurred in October) some residents are lagging in their clean-up duties. The Foundation is requesting compliance with this section of the covenant in order to maintain Pelican Bay as the unique community it is.

Pelican Bay is part of District 2. While each County Commissioner ideally represents the interests of all the people in the County, the District 2 County Commissioner is the one for whom we vote and as such represents us on the County Board of Commissioners. Besides determining which candidate will best represent our interests, the other challenge is to ensure there is a large enough voter turnout so that voter apathy and inertia do not influence election results. We can’t speak for the rest of District 2, but we do know that historically Pelican Bay voters are very involved. We need to continue, and even improve, our good voting record. The following information will help you do this. 1. Election Dates. The primary election is scheduled for September 5, 2006. The general election will be held on November 7, 2006. Put these dates in your calendar now. If you know that you won’t be here on these dates, you can vote via Absentee Ballot. See items 8 and 9 for details. 2. District 2 Election Background. To date, three candidates are running for one Commissioner seat: Frank Halas (the incumbent), Joe Foster and Michael Lissack. Halas and Foster, both Republicans, will run against one another in the Republican primary on September 5. The Republican primary winner will then run against Michael Lissack, an Independent, in the general continued on page 17 GRAND BAY VILLA Within the gates of Grand Bay, this 4 bedroom 4 bath villa is one-ofE a-kind.

Note: the preceding scenario is based on the three current candidates. It is possible that other candidates will enter the race between now and the July 21, 2006, 12pm filing deadline. 3. Who is Eligible to Vote in the September 5 Republican Primary? Based on Florida statutes (because there is a non-Republican candidate), only registered (affiliated) Republicans can vote for District 2 County Commissioner in the Republican primary. 4. I think that I am already affiliated as a Republican. How can I make sure? Look at your Voter Registration Information Card. Toward the lower right hand corner, a section titled Identification Data will show whether you are already affiliated as a Rep (Republican), a Dem (Democratic) or if you have no party affiliation. If you are uncertain or can’t find your card, phone the County Supervisor of Elections Office, (239) 7748450, for assistance. 5. I want to affiliate as a Republican so I can participate in the Republican primary. How can I do this? Phone the Supervisor of Elections Office, (239) 774-8450, for information. You must make any required changes before August 7, 2006, in order to vote in the Republican primary. This is called the book closing date, after which changes cannot be made until after the primary. 6. Is it a good idea to affiliate with a major political party? I’m nonpartisan and don’t like people to know how I voted. You have to decide what makes the most sense for you. In Collier County overall, there are more than twice as many affiliated Republicans as there are Democrats. Because of these numbers, elections are often determined on a de facto basis in the primary election. The subsequent general election is simply a “formality.” 7. If I affiliate with a major political party, do I have to vote for that party’s candidate in the general election? You can vote for whomever you want in the general election. 8. I will be out-of-town on September 5. Can I vote via Absentee Ballot? Yes! Under Florida law, all qualified voters are permitted to vote absentee. You may request an absentee ballot from the Supervisor of Elections Office in person (at the County Government Complex, 3301 Tamiami Trail East, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Bldg., Naples, FL 34112-4907), by mail or by telephone (239) 774-8450. You may also request an Absentee Ballot via e-mail. Visit the Supervisor of Elections website at http://www.colliervotes.com and click on the Absentee Info button at the top. 9. What is the deadline for casting Absentee Ballots? Marked Absentee Ballots must be mailed or delivered to the Supervisor of Elections Office not later than 7pm on the day of the election. Allow at least 10 days to two weeks for delivery, especially if you are up North. 10. I have a voting question that isn’t covered in the above items. What should I do?

The map was criss-crossed with so many black lines that it looked like an old-fashioned ball of twine. Each line represented the path of a hurricane that had hit Florida in the past hundred years, more than a hundred. And why not? We all know that Florida is the hurricane capitol of the United States. It is a long peninsula that juts out into the tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Gulf and Caribbean; the main traveling lanes for hurricanes. Then the speaker surprised his audience by stating that hurricanes and other natural disasters such as fires and floods are necessary to maintain the biodiversity of our environment and that “if they did not exist, we would have to invent them.” The speaker went on to explain that “one species’ disaster is another ’s opportunity,” and that those able to recover stay in place, they adapt, gain experience, “hunker down” and survive. If there were no hurricanes, it would be a disaster for them — for hurricanes, as awful tragedies as they are, bring renewal on a large scale. They clear out the old and decaying and make way for new growth, introduce new species and stimulate reproduction. In a scholarly talk laced with humor and familiar examples, the speaker advised humans to cease trying to manage or control nature and recognize that we are just a part of nature, as dependent for clean air and water as any other species, and to plan accordingly. That included considering where we place our homes, and the unintended results of our engineering feats. The speaker was Dr. Edwin M. Everham, professor of environmental studies at the Florida Gulf Coast University. The study of how forests respond to disturbances such as hurricanes is his particular field of expertise. He was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Mangrove Action Group, Inc., held on March 18 at our new Community Center. His rapt listeners kept him on stage for a much longer period in a question and answer session. continued on page 20 pbpoa — make the most of your vote...continued from page 17 (239) 774-8450.

She stated that she has observed an increase in boring beetle infestation in the trees, especially in the south end of Pelican Bay, another indication that the trees are under stress. She also stated that while the digging of channels is important to bring salt water into the mangrove forest, it also necessitates cutting the roots of adjacent trees, thus making them less stable in high winds and hurricanes. The meeting was chaired by Tom Cravens, president, who conducted a brief business meeting at which all present directors were re-elected. In addition, two new directors were elected from the floor. Directors of the Mangrove Action Group for the forthcoming year are: Lester Brown, Mary Bolen, Those attending were also fortunate to hear Dr. Jon C. Staiger, the former head of the City of Naples Environmental Department, now marine consultant for Turrell & Associates, the environmental firm that manages our mangrove forest, and Ms. Kathy M. Worley, mangrove expert with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. Dr. Staiger stated that our mangroves are still under recovery and pleaded for a reduction in the fertilizers, pesticides and pollutants that enter our mangrove forest through runoff from our landscapes and driveways. He also said that we must monitor our channels and other waterways and remove vegetation that impacts water flow. Ms. Worley, who has a master degree in mangrove management, is presently maintaining ten study plots Lilias Bruce, Tom Cravens, Marcia Cravens, Estelle Fishbein, Mary Johnson, Bunny Levere, Dr. Frank Matthews, Frank Partee, Kay Potter, Len Rothman, Sue Smith, Dr. Charles Walton, and Muriel Walton. In addition, John Domenie, ex-officio, remains as liaison with the Pelican Board Services Division. Mr. Domenie addressed the members, giving a short history of the organization. Mr. Cravens also announced that the Mangrove Action Group had been granted the sum of $1,000 from the Conservancy of Southwest Florida with which to continue its environmental work and education at the grassroots level. Mr. Cravens led a round of applause for Mr. Lester Brown who is retiring as treasurer, but remaining on the board. ARBOR TRACE and TOWER POINTE. Active adult living along the Gulf.

Myers. Although the focus was on the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins, the highlight of the day may have been the visit to the stands by Wally, The Green Monster, and the Red Sox mascot. Slightly sunburned and tired from all the fresh air, the 55 fans traveled back to Naples enjoying refreshments served by Shirley Ernst and Marcol Fumai, Co-Chairs of the event, assisted by Joy Carren. We are happy to report that this sell-out event is sure to be repeated in 2007.

Miller, one of Southwest Florida’s great entrepreneurs, is President and CEO of Miromar Corporation. The International Design Center, located at exit 123 off of I-75, will have the first floor open to the public. The upper floors are open to the trade only, but accessible through IDC’s “Designer-On-Call” program, which gives customers the opportunity to choose a professional designer for consultation and access to upper floors. Showrooms, to mention several, include Baker Furniture, Kravet Fabrics, Murano Glass Creations, and dozens of furniture, fabric, floor covering and decorative arts showrooms. Miller loves to travel and has incorporated various style elements from all over the world as inspiration for her projects. The village of Portofino, Italy influenced her design for Miromar Outlets. For Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club, inspirations were the French and Italian Rivieras, Cote d’Azur, and Italy’s Amalfi Coast. She shared inspiration from her favorite poet and a preview of her many upcoming projects. Enthusiastic attendees received black canvas bags with IDC samples. Miller also shared upcoming project plans, including a 5-star condo hotel at Miromar Lakes and phase II of the Beach Clubhouse; Phase V of Miromar Outlets; The Shoppes at Miromar Village; and the Miromar Professional Office Park next to IDC. When finally completed, the International Design Center will be 400,000 square feet, housing showrooms of fine furniture, accessories, wall coverings, floorings, lighting, kitchen, bath, art and antiques.

Andrew Prisco took command of the North Naples Sub-Station. Lt. Prisco was born and raised in Queens, New York. Lt. Prisco moved to Boca Raton, FL and graduated from Spanish River High School in 1989. Shortly thereafter, Lt. Prisco started his Law Enforcement career with the Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office in 1990. In June 1995, Lt. Prisco joined the City of Greenacres, Dept. of Public Safety where he was cross trained as a Florida Certified Firefighter. Lt. Prisco has extensive experience in the Law Enforcement arena; his duty assignments have included Corrections Deputy, Patrol Deputy, Vice & Narcotics Investigator, Field Training Officer, Gang Unit Liaison and Patrol Sergeant. Lt. Prisco and his family moved to Collier County in January 2000. at which time he joined the Collier County Sheriff ’s Office and was assigned to the Immokalee District until March 2004 when he was promoted to Patrol Sergeant and transferred to our North Naples District. Lt. Prisco’s knowledge and experience was evident, which allowed him to quickly take on the responsibility of Administrative Sergeant for the District. Lt. Prisco’s vision included focus on “getting back to the basics of Law Trust Your Home Remodel to Bay Builders a Pelican Bay Partner since 1979 Enforcement.” Deputies were encouraged to exit their patrol vehicles from time to time and become active within the community, solving problems and attending to “quality of life issues.” Lt. Prisco has been married since 2000 to his wife, Kristi, and they have three small children, AJ, Christopher and Nicholas. He is looking forward to his new assignment and to serve the residents of North Naples! Foundation Office Hours: 9am - 5pm Monday - Friday The following are two weeks of daily reports submitted by Clam Pass walk guides. These guided nature walks at Clam Pass Park, boardwalk, bay and beach are a great way to learn about what’s in your own backyard, so if you haven’t gone on one yet, make sure you do it soon, as they end April 29th! Monday’s report by Mary I had eight walkers yesterday. They were from Boston and Seattle. It was high tide, but the Osprey showed up fishing, there were Brown Pelicans, Tri-color and some White Ibis. The shells were pretty motley. The people had great questions, so we lasted two hours.

The tenyear-old twins were very bright and remembered much they had learned last year. We parted with “see you next year.” Wednesday’s report by Bette We had five people, one family had visited the Conservancy the day before — they had a conservancy membership and called Minnesota home. We saw lots of spiders, heard the Osprey and identified numerous shells. 660 Ninth Street North Naples, Florida 34102 Additions 239.774.9434 www.baybuilders.us buywifi.com State Lic# CGC 060072 P ILATES, F ITNESS & THERAPEUTICS ENHANCING FLEXIBILITY, CORE STRENGTH & POSTURE ALIGNMENT Stop By Our New Studio!

Only a couple of people dropped out in the beach area. One woman couldn’t walk on the sand. Friday’s report by Art I had a great group of 13 today, including a threemonth-old participant. We saw Orb Weavers in abundance, a family of raccoons scampering through mangrove shoots, and feeding White Ibis in the mangroves. Saturday’s report by Ed I had two couples today. They found out about the walk through the Pelican Bay Post. While very interested, they had a time constraint, so I held the walk to two hours. I used Tom’s laser to point out Mangrove Crabs and the Basilica Spider Egg Sacs that are so hard to see. My couples were not members of the Conservancy and didn’t know much about it. As a result of my walk, they will be visiting the campus next week and they offered me a $40 tip! I had them put the money in a Conservancy envelope and I will be dropping it off on campus next week. Second Monday’s report by Mary I had six participants, all of which were renters or owners in Pelican Bay who had heard and read that it was a must-do event. Back home was New York, Illinois and Wisconsin. It was high tide. The Osprey put on their usual show, thankfully, and the White Ibis, Little Blue Heron, Tricolor Heron and the Brown Pelican showed up while I talked about the Eagle and Osprey. When we arrived at the beach, I found that it was off limits just to the north of the ramp due to the dredging at Clam Pass. There were few shells, so I pulled out my trusty supply. We talked about the stranded Pigmy Sperm Whale beaching a couple of years ago, also about sea turtle nesting, dolphins and manatees. Second Tuesday’s report by Tom We had a total of 14 people today including the two Ed took. Sheri took a group of six women and I took a group of three couples one of the couples was from England. We saw a raccoon on the ground. The high point was getting to watch an Osprey feeding in a tree. See the image above.

Second Wednesday’s report by Bette I had two walkers from Illinois — one a member of Conservancy. The walk was quiet...lots of spiders, new growth on mangroves, few shells, more aquatic plants on beach, lots of Calusa ponderous ark shells...ok to take since not associated with discernable “dig.” Second Thursday’s report from Ruth I had eight good participants, including a very sharp first grader “who was wonderful.” A tram driver had pointed out the flowering Tallandsia to him so I had him point it out to the group. Second Friday’s report by Barbara & Ron Miner We had 10 people on our tour today, including several of our friends and at least two return visitors with friends for the tour. We saw a spectacular Tricolor Heron in mating plumage. It’s beak was a brilliant blue and it had a white feather at the back of its head that looked like a night heron. Truly spectacular. He was wading south of the boardwalk near the creek that had been blocked earlier. There was also a Snowy Egret in mating plumage there. Second Saturday’s report by Ed What a disappointment. No one showed up. I think the drop in temperature into the 50s at walk time, not to mention the stiff breeze, kept people away. The highlight of my walk was having a Black Racer charge across the sandy road about two feet in front of me. That gave me some really fresh tracks to look at. On Saturday, Jack, the Tram Driver, pointed out a new shrub growing beside the boardwalk and asked me what it was. I told him it looked like a Schefflera but I wanted to check it out to be sure. I have now verified that it is an Australian Umbrella Tree aka Octopus Tree, Schefflera actinophylla “act-in-o-fi-la,” not a Florida native. It is on the right side of the boardwalk as you head toward the beach. Look for it past the crow’s nest but well before you get to the blooming Cardinal Air Plant. The photo below and this following information are from http://mgonline.com/ schefflera.html Native to Australia, New Guinea and Java, the Umbrella Tree, Schefflera actinophylla, is very common in South Florida and the warmer parts of Central Florida. Schefflera is also seen indoors as a houseplant all over the world. Rated up to 40 feet, Umbrella Tree has large shiny medium green leaves held in groups of seven compound leaves. Observers in New Guinea report seeing Schefflera growing epiphytic starting as much as 40 feet up in tall rainforest trees Mature trees outdoors in full sun develop very showy flowers in the summer. The Schefflera shown in the picture to the left is in the final red stage of bloom. Unfortunately, this Schefflera is also on Florida’s “Don’t Plant” list of nuisance trees. What many people don’t realize is outdoors, Schefflera is a nuisance for three reasons: 1) Schefflera seeds itself very easily causing Schefflera to grow where no one wants a large tree; 2) Roots are strong, aggressive and can take over much of the surrounding soil; and 3) Schefflera sheds leaves constantly creating a littered appearance below it.

Pelican Bay Post, Mid April 2006 29 Around the Bay Navy League interested in establishing a Naples council Bill Sanchez, a Pelican Bay resident and a National Director of the Navy League of the United States (Navy League), is interested in starting a Navy League council in the Naples area. The Navy League, founded in 1902 and headquartered in Arlington, VA, is a civilian organization. It is dedicated to informing the American people and government that the U.S. is a maritime nation and its national defense and economic well-being are dependent upon strong sea services — U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. With over 275 councils and 66,000 members worldwide, it has become the foremost citizens’ organization to serve, support, and stand with all the U.S. sea services. There are 24 councils in Florida. In addition to educating national leaders and the nation, supporting the men and women in the sea services and providing assistance to sea service families, the Navy League educates and trains our youth in the customs and traditions of the sea services through a Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC). There is an active NSCC unit that drills in Ft. Myers. Membership in the Navy League is open to any U. S. citizen…civilian or military. No military background is required. Members of the armed forces are eligible, but not while on active duty. However, their spouses can join any time. “Why should you join the Navy League?” Well, there are many excellent reasons. Monthly meetings will be planned with interesting speakers from both the business and military communities. Field trips will be arranged, which can include tours and/or day trips on U.S. Navy or U.S. Coast Guard vessels, visits to the U.S. Southern Command in Miami and other military and Department of Defense facilities. There will likely be combined meetings with some other local organizations such as war veterans groups, the Reserve Officers Association, the Military Officers Association of America and others. As the council grows, Corporate Affiliate members will be solicited which should generate business for them and certain advantages / discounts for NLUS members. As with other organizations, there will be a community service involvement including support of Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) in local schools, of veteran’s activities during the year and of other meaningful activities in the Naples area. Membership entitles you to the Navy League monthly magazine, SEAPOWER, which has interesting and well written articles on a myriad of subjects. The January issue is the Annual Almanac of SEAPOWER continued on page 32 The Grosvenor 6001 Pelican Bay Blvd., #1005 2542 sq ft, 3BR/3Ba.

Did you ever wonder if George and Jane’s futuristic home would become a reality? Cease to wonder, it’s here. The “Smart Home” has arrived with lifestyle enhancing benefits made easier than you can possibly imagine. A “Smart Home” is when music, movies, lights, temperature, security and surveillance cameras are all integrated into a single control, accessible from anywhere in your home. Better yet, accessible from your cellular phone or any internet access from a secondary location. Imagine, controlling or monitoring your home from a thousand miles away. The “Smart Home” allows you to listen to your music in any room independently while viewing digital photos of a recent vacation, children, or grandchildren on the big screen TV, all while having pre-set lighting to set the mood. Sound pretty sophisticated? It is. However, it’s all made easy with products designed with ease of use in mind. The “Smart Home” isn’t just for new home construction. It functions superbly in the existing home market, or retro-fit. The devices required to fulfill the “Smart Home” experience can be connected with Category5e (networking) cables or with “wireless” technologies. Even if your home lacks the “wired” capabilities for today’s advanced solutions, you can benefit from technological advances.

Sheriff Hunter promised improved coverage for Pelican Bay. We have enjoyed a deputy 24/7 on permanent duty in Pelican Bay for many years. I think the patrols through the condominiums and the control of speeders on Pelican Bay Blvd. and residential roads have been a great benefit to the community. The Sheriff admits he is under staffed. The deputies are going to be on 12-hour shifts. My concern is he wants our deputies more than our money. In addition, we bought and paid for five patrol cars with current mileage ranging from about 15 to 55 thousand miles. The Sheriff has requested we donate these patrol cars to his department. I think we should be compensated for the value of these patrol cars. We need an “urban” level of police service. Residents that have been here for seven or eight years will remember when Pelican Bay Blvd. was a speeders delight. I’m not from Missouri, but I have the show-me-state attitude, and the Sheriff must prove he can do more with less. I am retiring after completing eight years of service on the PBSD board and I thank the people of Pelican Bay for their support and the opportunity to serve. ~David Roellig, Member, PBSD smart home...continued from page 32 the “Smart Home” is that it’s not an all-or-nothing approach.

Community Forum Letter to the Editor I would like to thank all of the residents of Pelican Bay for considering my candidacy for the Foundation Board. I would, of course, especially like to thank all of the residents who voted for me, who were willing to put their trust in me, but I would also thank everyone who took the trouble to vote, no matter which of the excellent candidates they chose. I am immensely proud that I received the most individual household votes. I thank each and every one of you. I hope my candidacy opened some windows on our thinking and opened some eyes to all that we can do together; I hope my suggestions and ideas will be incorporated into Board actions during the coming year. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to learn from each of you your concerns, expectations, and hopes for the future of Pelican Bay. The first action I believe that we all need to take is to attend Foundation board meetings regularly and make our opinions known — individually, and as groups. The best example of activism is the women’s exercise group with their very clear proposal for improving the South Beach exercise boardwalk. That should be one of the Board’s first priorities for an internal improvement. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to present myself before so many of you at the Forum, Men’s Coffee, and the women’s exercise group. I learned from each question. My hope is that in the future we will all work together to make a great place to live even greater. For now, I think all of us should be pleased at the excellent choices made by the voters, and give our support to Bob Naegele and Jim Carroll to provide new wisdomto the Foundation. I will be at the Foundation’s board meetings, and I hope to see you there. ~ James Halikas, M.D. GOING NORTH?
