The Official Publication of the Pelican Bay Foundation, Inc. Mid May 2006 • Volume 7, No. 10 Board approves new committee Join us for Beachfront Dining... House Committee established By Kyle Kinney, Foundation President Sandpiper 592-5722 Sunset Cafe 596-4799 The Pelican Bay Foundation, Inc. 6251 Pelican Bay Blvd. Naples, FL 34108 At the April 24th meeting of the Foundation Board of Directors, the Board formally approved the creation of a Foundation House Committee. This committee’s basic responsibilities as outlined in its charter are to: • Serve as a sounding board for member suggestions and concerns on restaurant and Community Center operations • Review restaurant and Community Center strategies and policies jointly with management and make appropriate recommendations to the Board • Provide recommendations to the Audit and Budget Committee for annual funding levels for the restaurant and Community Center operations • Encourage organizations within the community to actively participate in and sponsor events whether social, educational, cultural or recreational at the Community Center for all members • Recommend to the Facilities Committee, in conjunction with management, improvements and/or enhancements to the restaurants and the Community Center. Board member Ted Raia accepted the Board of Directors’ nomination to serve as the first chairman of the newly created committee. With the creation of this new committee, the Board ‘sun-setted’ the Restaurant Advisory Group that had been in existence the past few years. If you are interested in serving on this new committee, please contact Suzanne at the Foundation Commons office. In other Board action, the Board approved the installation of fiber optic cabling from the Commons to each of the beach restaurants and the South tennis center. The Foundation currently uses rooftop antennas at each location to transmit data between the outlets and the main office, primarily to allow the various point-of-sales systems to communicate with the main server located at the Commons. The installation of fiber optic cabling will improve communications, allowing transmissions without storm or wind interruptions, for example. This new upgrade should insure that service is not interrupted due to point-of-sale breakdowns within the day to day operations of the restaurants. 2006-2007 PELICAN BAY FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBERS CHAIR Gerhard Seblatnigg VICE-CHAIRMAN Merlin Lickhalter VICE-CHAIRMAN Robert Naegele SECRETARY Michael Egan DIRECTORS Jim Carroll Henry Price Ted Raia PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID TAMPA, FL PERMIT NO. 2397 Pelican Bay Services Division r A d v i s o Page 11 Pelican Bay Post, Mid May 2006 1 E-mail: [email protected] www.victoriaharrison.com Bonita Beach 239-592-5376 239-269-5400 PELICAN BAY Bay Colony - Pelican Bay Pelican Bay Woods Greentree - Pelican Bay Golf & Lake Views $5,500,000 $5,595,000 $2,700,000 $1,995,000 Oakmont - Pelican Bay Pelican Bay - Ridgewood Dr. Pelican Bay - Ridgewood Dr. Bentwood - Pelican Bay Woods Pendi ng Sa le Pendi Lake Views ng Sa le $1,695,000 $1,695,000 $1,425,000 $1,350,000 The Brooks - Shadowood Vineyards/Regency Reserve Wilshire Lakes Valencia - Pelican Bay Lakef r ont NEW $1,095,000 $795,000 $679,000 $549,000 & $629,000 Laurel Oaks - Pelican Bay St. Vincents - Pelican Bay Victoria Park Milano Lakef Famil r ont $540,000, $594,000, $599,000, & $620,000 $674,000 y or In ves tors $539,000 $425,000 Check out my website at victoriaharrison.com and view more properties.

On February 27, 2006, the Board amended Section 7.04 Resale Capital Assessments (d) 2 of the Bylaws, effective April 1, 2006. Underlined is the amendment: “A Member shall be entitled to only one exemption during the lifetime of the Member. For example, if a Member currently owns a Dwelling Unit or Plot within Pelican Bay, and the Member subsequently purchases another Dwelling Unit or Plot, then the Member may be granted the Exemption on the second purchase. However, any subsequent purchase or conveyances by the Member, after the Exemption has been used, will not be eligible for the Exemption. Additionally, the individual beneficiaries of a trust shall not be eligible for the Exemption if the trust has already received one Exemption.” The new one lifetime exemption limitation does not begin until the date change approved by the Board, thus prior exemptions do not count against the new one exemption limit. If you have any questions, please call Sharon Gammell, Membership Coordinator, at 596-6180 Ext 238.

Scott and Bob look forward to enjoying the other side of the table this fall, leaving the details in the capable hands of Jane Ellsworth and Sally Salzer. Dates for the 2006-2007 series for the Sunday pancake breakfasts are: Nov. 19, Jan. 21, Feb. 18, and March 18. The breakfasts are held from 8am to noon and the $7 fee at the door is a donation to Habitat for Humanity.

All three of these responsibilities are related by a common element — water. The Storm Water Management responsibilities include maintenance of the ponds, lakes, weirs, culverts, fountains and the actual retention areas. In addition, the Club at Pelican Bay controls a major water retention area. (Those who were here during Wilma will recall the lake formed on the driving range which percolated into the ground and drained into the storm water system in three days) The area east of the berm is a major retention area. Retention areas prevent rain water from flooding the mangroves by slowly releasing water over a period of time, acting as a filter for pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers which may flow into the area, and thus, releasing stress on the Mangrove Preserve. The Services Division is on the road to success in eradicating the cattails west of the berm, planting native vegetation, and providing an environment for new mangroves and fauna to emerge. We now have the possibility of turning our attention to the Storm Water Management areas east of the berm, where we have seen a proliferation of exotic Brazilian Peppers and invasive Willows. If we do not address this problem, we may soon see these species overpower all other native vegetation, as well as the possibility of them crossing the berm, invading the mangroves on the other side — a very undesirable prospect. In fact, we already have evidence of Brazilian Peppers growing west of the berm in various places. Is this what we want? It is absolutely essential that everyone clearly understands that we are not embarking on a wholesale landscaping of the area east of the berm. This is not our intent nor our Car insurance with No extra charge. ® At State Farm you get a competitive rate and an agent dedicated to helping you get the coverage that’s right for you and the discounts you deserve.

Unfortunately, some of the work will be most evident along the waterway adjacent to the east side of the berm, as Willows have really spread rapidly here. This work is being proposed based on a recommendation by the “East of the Berm Committee” consisting of members of the Foundation and the Services Division. Following the discussion of this project at the Foundation’s April board meeting, the Services Division will include the necessary funds in its 2006-7 Budget. I would again like to emphasize that this is not a grooming or enhancing project — the goal is to bring the area back to its original state and to prevent the introduction of exotic or invasive material into the Mangrove Preserve.

Owners Assoc. Halas a no-show at Hammock Oak debate More Straight Talk from the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association By Dave Trecker, PBPOA Board Member official calendar showed no conflict. Mike Coyne, president of the PBPOA, served as moderator of the debate. Here is how the candidates who did show up say they would deal with issues of interest to Pelican Bay. Q. Would you oppose the county’s plan to use private property in Pelican Bay to provide public access to the beach? A. Both candidates were emphatic in their support of property rights. Both said they would oppose any attempt by the county to access the Pelican Bay beach through private property. Q. What are your views on annexation and incorporation? A. Foster and Lissack both said they strongly supported the rights of residents to decide who should govern them. Both opposed county interference in that decision. Q. How do you feel about the four-story parking garage along West Blvd. now planned by the developers of Waterside Shops? A. Both candidates opposed the structure. (Applause from the audience!) Both indicated that site plan approval should be required, with a public hearing as part of the process. Q. Commissioner Halas has admitted taking campaign money from contractors who do business with the county. Do you approve of this? A. Lissack and Foster both decried the practice. Both candidates said they would decline such contributions. Q. What are your views on Commissioner Halas’ representation of District 2? A. Lissack said that Halas represented Vanderbilt Beach well, but not the rest of District 2. Foster agreed. continued on page 14 Come Be a Part of Our Dental Family!

Joe Foster, a Republican, and Michael Lissack, an Independent, participated in the Town Hall Forum on April 12. The Forum was sponsored by the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association (PBPOA). Commissioner Frank Halas, the incumbent, declined to participate, claiming a prior commitment. However, Larry Hannan reported in the Naples Daily News article covering the event that Halas’ Wachovia Immokalee Rd. First Union Bank Pelican Bay Post, Mid May 2006 13 Pelican Bay Mangroves Mangrove update By Kay Potter, Mangrove Columnist A friend and neighbor has taken me severely to task for a statement in my last column in which I quoted Dr. Edwin Everham, professor of environmental studies at Florida Gulf Coast University, as saying that hurricanes are necessary to maintain our global environment. “Tell that to my son in Mississippi,” he fairly snorted. “Katrina has already cost him a hundred thousand dollars, and he’s not done yet.” My heart ached for him, and for the countless others who face tragedy and hardship caused by recent hurricanes. Although there is no comparison, few in Pelican Bay have totally recovered from the effects of Hurricane Wilma. Now with foreboding, we are beginning to prepare for the coming hurricane season less than a month from now, June through November. Thinking it would be well to know more about hurricanes, other than the usual warnings and weather reports, I started to research the subject and found it fascinating and timely, and time consuming. Two books that I thought most informative are: The Climate and Weather of Florida by Professors James A. Henry, Kenneth M. Portier and Jan Coyne and The Winds of Change by award-winning journalist Eugene Linden — hardly light summer reading, but too gripping to put down. I will share with you now a few facts gleaned from these sources. To begin with, Professor Everham was right on. In Chapter 8 of the first listed book above, the authors state that “Hurricanes are necessary for the earth to maintain an energy balance” and explain that in the parts of our earth that are thirty-five degrees north and south of the equator, more heat is absorbed from the sun than is radiated from the earth and atmosphere back into space. If this extra heat is not dissipated, this area of our globe would be constantly growing warmer. Think about that for awhile. Another section of the book deals with Mother Nature’s two-part solution to this problem — the Gulf Stream and the atmosphere. The Gulf Stream carries some of this extra Lissack agreed and questioned the effectiveness of the district system. Lissack discussed his proposal to split Collier County in two, with the oortion west of Rte. 951 — including Pelican Bay — to be called Pelican County. Lissack claimed that the built-out western portion of Collier County was footing the bill for the infrastructure of the developing eastern portion of the county. Foster discussed plans for affordable housing, a major problem, citing his experience as head of the Collier County Housing Development Corporation. Michael Lissack is a former banker, author and real estate developer. Joe Foster is a local attorney with the firm of Porter Wright Morris & Arthur. Both Foster and Lissack said they would welcome the opportunity to debate Commissioner Halas. Undoubtedly, the voters of Pelican Bay would also like to know Halas’ position on issues that impact their community. Straight Talk is an editorial column prepared by the Board of Directors of the Pelican Bay Property Owners’ Association. The PBPOA is a separate, distinct entity from the Pelican Bay Foundation Board, and the PBPOA Straight Talk column does not necessarily represent the opinion of the Foundation. continued on page 15 hammock oak debate...continued from page 13 Q. Do you support the proposal to roll back property taxes? A. Both candidates said that they did. Q. Are you aware of counties in Florida that have a representative government structure that is more effective than the one used in Collier County? A. Foster said that many counties had commissioners elected at large.

MAUI JIM and to continue this “pumping” motion. The storm, now greatly intensified, is feeding on itself. The authors conclude by stating that if all these conditions occur, and others that space prevents me from listing, a few of these many seedlings may develop into a hurricane, starting in June in the Caribbean and shifting upward on the map as the season progresses. Florida is in the greatest danger in August and September, but no prediction is 100 percent accurate. Remember, Wilma arrived on October 24th. Fortunately hurricanes are not with us for long, the GOLD & WOOD see this area printed in small red letters on any map. This is sometimes called “Hurricane seedlings” by weather forecasters. The second condition is that the tropical ocean waters must be 80 degrees or higher and produce water vapor that reaches the atmosphere. Since it takes until summer for the sun to heat the ocean waters to this degree, you now know why hurricane season is from June through November. A third condition is for the winds to spiral into the central area of our low pressure disturbance and escape out the top of the storm, rather like a chimney, “I pledge to be a Master Craftsman in using the latest industry tools to create the most perfect eyewear.” LINDBERG heat to the cooler waters of the North Atlantic, but it is the atmosphere that disperses most of the extra heat. When weather and climate conditions are just right, this dispersal produces hurricanes. Fortunately for us earthlings, it takes a lot of doing for these conditions to be “just right.” Most of us think Mother Nature outdid herself last year and devoutly hope she will now take some time off. What are these conditions? First, there must be a tropical low pressure disturbance in the trade wind belt (thirty degrees north to five degrees north of the equator).

Some move rapidly, lasting only a few hours. Remember how fast Wilma moved out and how thankful we were to see brilliant sunshine and calm weather by the afternoon of that fateful day. Other hurricanes stagnate. A twenty-day event has been recorded. Hurricanes die or decay when they lose their major energy source, which is moisture and heat; encounter colder waters or climes, land masses or unfavorable upper air wind flow. They travel between 300 and 400 miles per day, change directions, recurve, and pick up speed again. No wonder some of our young TV weather reporters seem somewhat ill at ease before the camera for the map they are pointing to can change as they speak. And there is more bad news. Tornadoes, storm surges and torrential rains most often accompany hurricanes, although a U O nde Ma wner r New nag shi em p & en t few dry hurricanes have been recorded in Florida. When Wilma hit Pelican Bay we were spared a storm surge, really a fast moving dome of water, and that was most fortunate, for our coast’s gently sloping sea bottom would insure that this dome of water would increase in height as it approached our beach. We were not so lucky in regard to tornadoes. Experts who have visited our area now think that the irregular pattern of felled trees in our mangrove forests and damaged property, witness the Stratford Condominium, is more typical of a tornado hit rather than the straight all inclusive path of a hurricane. This was not unexpected. In Florida, more than 70 percent of hurricanes produce tornadoes. And now for the big question, will a hurricane strike us in 2006. And the answer as expected is, “Impossible to predict P R E M I E R with total certainty.” Our scientists, computer experts, and hurricane hunting aircraft and pilots are constantly studying weather systems, not only in our hemisphere, but worldwide. They have gotten very good at tracking a hurricane, once it develops. They have charts predicting the probability of a hurricane striking coastal cities. They study El Nino, rainfall in the Sahel region of Africa, global warming. They have even seeded clouds and spread chemicals over warm ocean waters. Still, no one can tell you exactly when and where a hurricane will strike. Our experts can only tell you that one is expected and you should prepare to meet it on its own terms. Enough said.

The 75 PINE RIDGE ROAD 801 Vanderbilt Beach Road (West end of Pavilion Shopping Center) (239) 596-9482 Pelican Bay Post, Mid May 2006 21 Around the Bay new zoll machine saves lives...continued from page 21 Paramedic/Firefighter Jodi Van Sickle was charged with the responsibility of presenting the roles to the other paramedics, before walking into the home, while Dr. Robert Tober quickly mastered the role of the patient’s family member as he frantically recalled which drugs the patient took as Jodi asked questions. Manual CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) started quickly by Engineer/EMT Nick Stolts began the demonstration, while Firefighter/Paramedic Javier Spirgatis started to use an ambu bag to help the patient (manikin) breathe. After two minutes of CPR, the Zoll Autopulse Machine was strapped onto the patient’s chest including a cardiac monitor with AED capabilities. Once the Autopulse replaced manual compressions of CPR, the paramedic/ firefighters then began to simulate three separate shocks to the patient. Each shock provides jules of energy to jump start the patient’s heart back into a normal heart rhythm. After three shocks were administered to the patient, then she was ready for transport to the hospital. The Zoll Autopulse Machine provided hands-free compressions to allow the paramedics to perform other life saving tasks, such as administering life-saving drugs to stimulate the patient’s heart. Dr. Tober ’s pit crew philosophy is easy to understand, as each EMT/Paramedic has a task similar to the pit crew functions found at unpredictable, high-speed NASCAR races. The race car driver has minutes to get back on track or lose the race. Those crucial minutes could make or break the race for a driver. The pit crew hurriedly fixes the highspeed machines, replacing tires, repairing the spoilers, adding fuel, and cleaning the windshield. “In NASCAR, four people each have a specific duty. It looks like chaos, but they can achieve success quickly,” says Dr. Tober. Ultimately, the success with the North Naples medical pit crew, is in a life saved and a recovery of the patient after treatment in the hospital. Just like the race car, the human body is a fine tuned machine, and paramedics are assigned their tasks prior to arriving at the scene to assist the patient expeditiously. Successful saves from fire departments and EMS agencies throughout Collier County with the Autopulse provide the Zoll Corporation with valuable information regarding the efficiency of this device in performing chest compressions on an unconscious victim. “We had two cardiac arrest saves with the Autopulse and twice the patient had a pulse before EMS transported them,” adds ALS Coordinator, James Cunningham. Dr. Chris Souders, Associate Medical Director of the Houston Fire Department was impressed with the Autopulse demonstration by North Naples Paramedic Firefighters. With the Houston Fire Department averaging 800 to 900 calls 22 Pelican Bay Post, Mid May 2006 per day, Dr. Souders clearly identified the need for these machines on their first-due apparatus. He is the deciding factor behind Houston Fire Department’s upcoming participation in an upcoming trial study with the Zoll Autopulse machine. “There is an advantage to the Autpulse as it stays on the back board and it is the same as CPR. Usually, the medic is holding on to a bar in the back of an ambulance and attempting one-handed CPR on the patient. The Autopulse is better because it provides the same consistency of compressions all the time,” asserts Dr. Souders. “There’s a cost-savings too, as there’s a risk of back injury when firefighter paramedics have to perform CRP for 45 minutes.” says Dr. Souders. In the past, CPR with manual compressions and the Automated External Defibrillator alone sometimes restarted a patient’s heart after firefighters and paramedics arrived on scene. There was a transfer delay in the compressions when the patient was transferred from the floor to the backboard, too. The new Zoll Machine straps on to the patient and begins to consistently provide compressions without stopping until the patient is transported to the hospital. These continuous compressions provide the oxygen rich blood to the heart and brain without interruption. The streamlined process makes the entire call a smooth effort in saving lives. “From the time a patient loses consciousness, you have eight minutes to move oxygenated blood to the brain. If you only do compressions on a patient, there is enough residual oxygen in the patient’s bloodstream, in the arms, legs and stomach, that if you simply move that blood into the brain without any mouth-to-mouth ventilations, you can keep the brain alive for eight minutes,” states Dr. Tober of the essential technique of compressing the patient’s heart as soon as possible following cardiac arrest. Dr. Tober has a total hands-on approach ensuring the Zoll Autopulse machine is utilized properly as he closely monitors all of the training and medical calls traveling among CCEMS Stations throughout all of Collier County. He strives to ensure the timing of response is efficient, without any delay in the initiation of CPR and use of the Autopulse. The evidence of successful saves here has peaked the interest of Zoll Corporation and other fire departments who are considering the purchase of these machines for their own community. Therefore, the pit crew philosophy coupled with the new Zoll Technology will positively impact the survivability of cardiac arrests. “North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District is striving to place the Autopulse on all first-run apparatus,” predicts Lt. James Cunningham of the future of the Advanced Life Support Program in North Naples. 7:3 0 2:3 a m 0pm Dai ly VOTED BEST GERMAN RESTAURANT!

This full-service, personalized policing philosophy re-examines community needs based on growth, crime and traffic congestion so people can feel safe where they live, work, recreate and drive. This policing model is a tactical approach to fullservice, personalized policing. By realigning coverage areas currently patrolled in a district, a more manageable area is created that will reduce response times to calls for service and add additional staffing during peak call times. How is Urban Style Policing accomplished? The philosophy of policing focuses on education, enforcement and engineering to accomplish the goal of a safer community. The “urban response model” takes into consideration forecasts and data supplied by various growth and planning entities as well as internal statistics in order to “continue to make Collier County a safe place to live, work and drive.” This resonates in Sheriff Hunter ’s vision for the Collier County Sheriffs Office. Districts are functionally re-aligned based on optimizing staffing and expediting response to citizen complaints.

The center, which is undergoing a major renovation adding luxury retailers such as Tiffany & Co., Burberry and Gucci, will feature a new landscape design that is more shopper-friendly, inviting and reflective of the contemporary and sophisticated style of the new retailers and Waterside’s clientele, according to Annette Alvarez, General Manager of Waterside Shops. “Next to questions about the new stores that will open at Waterside during the next few months, we’re constantly being asked about the new landscaping and water features,” she said. “We are confident Waterside’s updated look will exceed everybody’s expectations with a clean and engaging setting that emphasizes its cachet as the place for sophisticated shopping, dining and entertaining.” Shoppers are already enjoying a sampling of Waterside’s reincarnation. Much of the new landscaping around the perimeter of the center is already in place, evident in the stately royal palms that now grace the entryways. When completed, Waterside Shop’s landscape plan will include more than 30,000 new tropical plants and flowering shrubs. A Royal Palm Promenade at the northwest corner leads to the new retail shops on the former site of Jacobson’s and a burst of color provided by Helen Johnson bougainvillea hugs the U.S. 41/Tamiami Trail frontage. “There wasn’t a speck of color along Tamiami Trail before,” said landscape architect John Grissim, who designed Waterside’s new look. “This bougainvillea is four or five feet wide and runs the continuous length. It has flowers year round so the mall will always have a very dramatic look from the road.” Grissim said Waterside’s landscaping renaissance will lend a more contemporary ambience with a 550-foot wall, waterfalls, bridges and flowers and plant material native to Florida, the latter a requirement of Collier County government. “The previous landscaping was more than 10 years old and unfortunately had grown so much that shoppers couldn’t see the stores on the opposite side or feel connected to the activity taking place around them,” said Grissim, a partner in Grissim-Metz-Andriese, a landscape architect and engineering firm in Northville, Michigan. “The old landscaping was more naturalistic and organic; the new features will be more architectural and more orderly with a touch of the tropical look you expect in Naples. And water, of course, will be a predominant element in the shopping experience. It will always be close by.” continued on page 27 personalized policing...continued from page 23 with a strong focus on community relationships and partnerships. What are the desired results? • Greater apprehension rates of offenders • Increased citizen satisfaction • Reduced response times • Higher visibility within the community • Enhanced interactive relationships with community leaders, merchants and citizens What are the costs to the community? The Collier County Sheriff’s Office is providing this new urban response model with assets currently assigned to the Sheriff ’s Office. This initiative will be implemented at no additional cost to taxpayers.

It also incorporates events areas and guest amenities such as seating. “Water has always been important to Waterside Shops and there is no change in that philosophy,” said Grissim. “There are fountains and bubbling water throughout the courtyard. The new design will relate everything to water, with color and texture provided by simple landscaping and plantings. We purposely selected hundreds of plants in different sizes so it looks like a natural — but orderly — happening.” Clustered plantings of different-sized Alexander palms and Xanadu will offer evergreen ground No Detail Too Small! Ana Howe, Proprietor Ask Ana about HeartSmart Flavorful Entertaining! CreativeCustom Catering Private Chefing storms influenced some of the plant palette and choices, said Grissim. In addition the 133 royal palms planted at entrances off of Seagate and U.S. 41 and the Royal Palm Promenade, additional plantings to date include 780 sea grape bushes, 58 Indian hawthorn, 6,642 annual flowers and 25,000 Asiatic Jasmine, which is used as ground cover throughout. The promenade also offers special water features and customdesigned lattice canopies. Grissim said ponds and wetland areas at the northern edge of the site off Laurel Oak Drive and at Seagate Drive on the south side add a natural water element — and fitting introduction to Waterside. Live oaks, olive trees and mahogany provide shade canopies in the parking lots and hardier Asiatic jasmine replaces grass in islands. cover. A dozen 5-foot tall ceramic urns blooming with seasonal plants will be perched along the curving 550-foot hand-laid rock wall that meanders throughout the center and is punctuated by scuppers at 20-foot intervals with water splashing to a reflection pool below. The 30-inch tall wall ties together the west and east entries and provides seating, landscaping and custom awning canopies. Blooms, said Grissim, will be changed quarterly to reflect the seasons. “There will be color throughout the year.” In the evening, the entire development will present a completely new and friendly shopping and dining environment. Strategic lighting will add drama to the new architecture, landscaping and water activity. County government and lessons learned from recent SA ME Volunteers needed!

While we can work with you to arrange the date and time of your walk, we prefer to have eight or more participants. We can also tailor your walk to match your particular interests. The best months to call me to make arrangements are June and July, then September through November. Our regular season begins December 1. Make your reservation by calling me at 261-9724. Mary’s Monday report I started out with five participants and picked up two shortly thereafter. They were from Minnesota, Illinois, Pelican Bay and Vanderbilt Beach. We saw mangrove crab and plenty of spiders. At the bridge we had quite a day and picked up several people just for that area. We saw three Osprey (two came up with good size fish), two Great Egret, two Tri-color Heron, five White Ibis, one Snowy Egret, one Little Blue, and both Black and Turkey Vulture. The big find was a Reddish Egret doing the drunken sailor dance. Most had brought field glasses, which was very helpful. On the beach we saw three Dolphin, Brown Pelican, Immature Herring Gull Laughing Gull in flight. There I talked about all of those birds, plus the Eagle compared to the Osprey. There were lots of good questions. They wanted to know the problems and effects of extension of beach renourishment on Turtle nesting. I presented the turtle, dolphin and manatee talks and discussed the Sargassum and the Sargasso Sea, currents of the Gulf, shells, the topography and a brief history of the Gulf and Florida. Sheri’s Tuesday report Good walk today. I had 12 participants, with two others who joined us on PATTI TRUMBULL, P.A. Chairman’s Circle Diamond Award 2005 Selling Pelican Bay...& More Top Producer 2005 • Heron Place Office the boardwalk and plan to come another day to be a part of the whole walk. We had a little blue heron give us quite a show at the bridge, along with a huge blue crab swimming in the water below. The shelling was great and everyone seemed to be having fun looking for the unusual, pretty colors, etc. One of the children suggested we have a “show and shell” which was a good time for the shell talk. Had Dr. Bob along and he was a huge asset. Bette’s Wednesday report Bette had four interested participants, all sent from the Park Shore Resort. Ruth’s Thursday report Unfortunately no one came for Ruth’s walk, but she did talk to a number of people and spread theword about our guided walks. The Miner’s Friday report We had two friends/ walkers who did the whole trip, one friend who did most of the trip, and two additional people who joined for the whole shell talk — plus Bob Mohl. We saw a wonderful little blue heron showing off his breeding plumage; his beak was spectacular! We also saw a wading bird I could not identify. After checking Sibley, I wonder if it might have been a western willet. continued on page 29 TED FARIS, P.A. 4130 Tamiami Trail North Naples, FL 34103 Direct: 239.659.4293 Cell: 239.821.8109 Toll Free: 800.843.0255 ext. 4293 Pelican Bay Resident • Direct: 239.659.4261 Cell: 239.821.4001 • Toll Free: 800.843.0255 ext. 4261 Call for your private showing today!

I think she is now likely to join the Conservancy. So far this season, we have had 728 participants. That’s a great total and it is still climbing. Mary’s following Monday report I had 12 people from Pelican Bay and Michigan. We went for two hours. There is still little life on the beach. At the bridge, we had a Tri-color that put on a good show. There also Ed’s following Saturday report We have Tom to thank for sending all four participants to today’s walk. Three were from Pelican Bay, who incidentally had seen my latest article in the Pelican Bay Post, and Beth Menchaca, who is a new Conservancy staff person working as an events coordinator. The highlight of today’s walk was the Gopher Tortoise with whom we had a rendezvous on the sand road. From his smile you can tell he was happy to see us. were several White Ibis, a Little Blue and a Great Blue. The Osprey was old reliable and a couple of Brown Pelicans flew over the beach. We talked about Turtles nesting and the Sargasso Sea. We also talked about dolphin, the beached whale and the Manatee. They were a great group with many questions. Barbara’s following Friday report Ron and I had five walkers with us this morning. One couple was from Germany, one was from England and there was a gal from Connecticut. We saw a couple of raccoons under the boardwalk, which the English couple had never seen before. Also a couple of green Florida anoles were spotted. The osprey was catching fish at the bridge. We also noticed that the mealy bug infestation of the black mangrove is getting worse. New plants seen We have a new plant popping up in the tram stop area near the Saw Palmetto. It is Dogfennnel, Community forum April 12, 2006 Dear Shane, On behalf of the Board and the membership of the Naples Branch of the International Wine and Food Society, may I offer our most sincere appreciation for the outstanding job that you and your staff did at last Monday’s Lobster Boil at the Sandpiper Club on the beach. I am only sorry that you were not present to hear the accolades and applause as the members showed their appreciation at the evening’s end. Penny Isermann and Kay Botko, the event co-chairs, along with our Cellar Master, Bill Bugera, all mentioned how cooperative you were in making the arrangements, meeting our special needs and providing flexibility in setting up the event. In addition to this, it is most apparent by both the quality of the service and the friendliness of the staff, from tram drivers to waiters/waitresses, that the evening’s success was the result of a very well coordinated total effort by you and the Foundation staff members. Thank you again for an extraordinary evening. I hope that we will have an opportunity to return to the beach at Pelican Bay.

Saltwort, Beachwort, Turtle Weed, Batis maritime, “BAT-is mar-IT-ima,” is also growing at Clam Pass. This relatively low-growing plant is well below the boardwalk in some sections.
