LMA November, Miscellany
The OTHER Elections
Lighting and lettering at the front gate is running behind
schedule due to the storms and delays in obtaining the eagle logo
for the signage. But it is progressing. Total cost for the project is
about $16,500 including lighting, installation, rewiring, new lettering, repair and painting of the monuments themselves.
Approval was given for a $516 car repair resulting from a gate
mishap.
This year’s road work is complete. New surfaces will get a
long lasting, plastic based, heat applied striping. Striping on
older road surfaces will be with paint. Potholes have been
mapped and repair will begin
soon.
The tree lost in the storm on
Pintail Way near Landings
Blvd. was removed. Landings
5 will be billed for the work.
In a few days the federal and state elections will be past and
we’ll all be praising or bemoaning American and Floridian
choices for the next two to four years.
But there are other elections coming up, much closer to
home, for which most Landins can’t name a candidate and
many have no notion who the incumbents are or what they
stand for.
Between December and the end of the first quarter of 2005
there will be annual meetings, nominations and elections for
virtually all of the 22 associations governing the daily life of
each Landin home or condominium owner.
These elections present the opportunity to vote, but more
important, to participate by running for office.
If past experience is any indication there will probably be no
more than one candidate for each position, and in some cases
those candidates may have to be recruited by existing board
members and officers simply because no one comes forward to
fill a vacancy.
Each property owner living here falls under at least two associations, some as many as four. Everyone belongs to the Landings Management Association (LMA). Resident owners belong
to either the Landings Homeowners Association (LHA) or other
housing unit association.
Members of the Racquet Club also come under their Board.
Owners of an Eagles Point high rises unit are under the jurisdiction of both their individual building association in addition
to an association representing all the high rises.

Several trees are being replaced in various traffic islands.
The shopping center was asked to see what they could do
about the placement of the dumpsters visible near the main
gate. LMA representatives were told that was the best placement for them. They also stated they had regular problems with
Landings residents using the dumpsters, especially prior to
leaving for the north. (A reminder: use of other people’s, apartment’s or business’s dumpsters is illegal. The center did not¸
however threaten legal action when they requested they not be
used.)
The joint LMA/LHA/Homeowners committee has not yet
authorized reconstruction of Landings Way. They are still
awaiting homeowner agreement on their portion of the costs.
Next year’s road project will be Landings Blvd. from Kestral
Park Way (N and S) to the Trail. The shopping center and the
School participate in the project. As Landings property owners,
pay annual fees to the LMA.
The parking issues discussed at earlier meetings appear to be
somewhat alleviated. Conjecture was this is due to young people being back in school and, perhaps, the issuance of parking
tickets.
There will be (were) extra security measures for Halloween.
Volunteers are used each year to assist. If you’d like to help
out next Halloween call Ray Rakoff.
A homeowner noise complaint with trucks going to the Phillippi Landings project at very early hours was discussed. It was
decided this is outside the LMA jurisdiction.
Inaccuracies in the Green Book remain a concern. The Eagle
offered to run a coupon several months preceding the Green
Book deadline so residents can edit their own entries. The offer
stands.
(“Elections” from page 1)
Each of these associations has board members, officers and
many have committees. Officers frequently lament to The Eagle they have difficulty in finding volunteers for committee
assignments, resulting, frequently, in one person committees.
When board positions open prematurely they have difficulty
finding replacements, calling on friends to fill the roles.
Based on conversations with present and past board members
and observation of boards here are some tips:
A Attend the meetings and observe how your association operates
A Get to know current board members.
A Show intelligent interest in board’s activities.
A Be constructive, not destructive.
A Talk with your fellow owners about what they see as the
needs of your housing unit.
A Become familiar with the state laws affecting Homeonwers
and Condomunium Associations. (Links to them are
available at www.LandingsEagle.com. From the home page
click on “Legal Documents” and look for the appropriate
Condo or Homeowners Law link).
A Read over the legal documents relevant to the board in
which you are interested. Homeowners Association, Management Association and Racquet Club documents can also
be found at www.LandingsEagle.com. From the home page
click “Landings Legal” on the right hand menu. You will
need to check with your individual condo association if you
do not have a copy of their legal documents.
A Finally, consider running for office, or at least asking to
serve on a committee of interest.
(The next issue of The Eagle will reprise an article from several years ago detailing the functions of Landings Associations, for the benefit of newcomers.)

The 2005 LHA
budget was presented at the October 21 meeting. If
passed as it would
increase in annual
LHA expenditures
from $11,295 to
$16,370, a 43%
increase. Annual homeowners fees would increase fro $40 to
$65.
The increases were no discussed at the meeting as reflected by
the proposed budget virtually all come from a $7000 item for
Landings Drainage repairs. Presumably this is the result of the
agreement with LMA to help finance individual drainage problems as determined by the joint LMA/LHA drainage committee.
The first recommendation by this committee is still waiting final
approval pending agreement by the specific homeowners involved to share in the cost as well.
The increases could be larger should several items discussed at
the meeting be added. Legal fees have been high for 2004 because of actions involved in getting property owners to comply
with covenants and deed restrictions. It was suggested legal fees
may need to be increased in the 2005 budget as well.
The board is awaiting a proposal from an outside management
company to assist in the paper work, billing and collection and
other matters. This would not result, according to board members, in the same measure of outside management the large majority of Landings associations employ, and would cost substantially less. If added this, too, would increase the proposed
budget.
The budget does maintain an approximate $40,000 reserve.
Final discussion and action on the 2005 budget will occur at
the November 18th meeting.
The “missing” stop sign was the topic of rather heated discussion. President Stan Williams said he had received many
homeowner phone calls about the removed sign, most objecting
to its removal. Of greatest concern is why no one was notified
and whether or not the LMA board had voted for its removal.
Some broad members complained the LMA frequently doesn’t
keep the LHA apprised of matters important to the LHA.
Several members expressed great for speeding in the Landings and felt the sign did slow things down somewhat. They
suggested further traffic speed abatement was necessary.
Homeowners along perimeter walls being cleaned and
painted by the LMA will be asked to waive LMA liability for
damage done to any plantings along those walls.
Concerns were expressed about tree removal in Landings
islands, especially in homeowner’s areas, without consultation
of the LHA. Several members felt the general quality of plantings in residential islands is not up to previous standards. Jerry
McFadden, representing the LMA at the meeting, said he’d
work with the LMA to see if better communication and consultation on these couldn’t be established. The LHA suggested
they could have their outside horticulture consultant participate.
The board expressed a continuing, high degree of frustration
dealing with property owners who do not follow pre-approval
procedures on landscaping, tree removal and architectural matters. They target especially, people who buy properties for
rental, strip the landscaping and replace it without prior approval of a landscape plan. The board is seeking an injunction
in one such case. This continued into a discussion of difficulties with some rental tenants.

LHA 2005 Budget Proposed
With THE presidential race
almost behind us, consider
becoming A president. . .vice
president. . .board member or
committee member.
We’re referring, of course, to
a role in one of the 22 housing
or Racquet Club Associations.
Committee work is a good
place to start, but not required
before running for a board or
even the president’s job once
on the board.
The Eagle has and will continue to write about the functions of the various boards.
But the most basic fact is the
board members directly affect
how we live on a daily basis.
They determine rules and
regulations. They determine
the degree of enforcement of
those rules and regulations.
They determine how your
dues are spent on regular
maintenance. They call for
special assessments. They
decide to levy fines. They determine the upkeep, cleanliness, and quality of our buildings and common areas. Many
of these decisions, appropriately, are made without the
direct vote of property owners.
That is why these boards
and those who serve on them
are so important to our lives
and our community.
Each board has a personality of its own, influenced
largely by its members and
officers. Are the boards affecting your life open and forthcoming, or closed and secretive? Do they welcome your
comments, criticisms and suggestions, or do they make you
feel you’re wasting their time?
Do they operate in “the sunshine” or tend to make decisions in a vacuum, without
seeking constituent opinion?
Are they fiscally responsible,
planning for both the short and
long term needs of your property? Are they well versed in
state law covering their association?
If you don’t know the answers to those questions, you
should find out. If you do know
and are dissatisfied, consider
participating.
Landins,
LMA remembers Hurricane Charley, then we hunkered down through Hurricane Frances, not to mention Ivan, then the little lady
called Jeanne.
As PR representative of
LMA, we are concerned
with the theme of last
month’s Editorial in The
Eagle calling for improvement of the looks of the
Landings as a community as
a whole. We all love it here,
and feel it is a well kept
secret, and have to keep it
well!
We have to take care of
our own homes independently or condos through our
association. After all that
has happened forget the
save a "$" mentality, and do
things to maintain the standards of this garden community of "The Landings" –
LIKE NO OTHER.
Little things mean a lot!
For example:
Get after your landscapers
to trim your trees along the
FPL light standards to get
better street vision for your
neighbors. LMA is working
to get bulb replacement and
more light standards for our
dark areas. This is necessary
especially along Landings
Blvd.
When Condo Associations make up their budget,
don’t skimp on landscaping
and outdoor appearances,
i.e. light fixtures, paint trim,
At the very least attend a
few meetings, find out what
is going on and learn how
your board operates.
The Eagle regularly attends both the LMA and
LHA meetings, and receives
regular reports of the LRC.
Starting this month we’ll
provide a “Box Score” of
constituent attendance as a
reminder of citizen participation.
IPS
etc. A pleasant and well
groomed appearance is for
everyone’s best good.
Homeowners look to
make improvements on their
exteriors of their homes. It’s
not costly to sweep puddles
after rains, or replace outdoor light bulbs when necessary, keep a well manicured lawn.
If your mail box tilts,
spruce it up and fix it – then
paint it too! Lets all do a
little more to better our best.
Put trash out in a timely
manner (Remember the new
day is Wednesday morning). Put trash out after 7:00
pm Tuesday night.
Do not leave your garage
door open all day and night.
When walking your dog, be
sure to pick up any droppings afterward for appearance, cleanliness, and
FLIES!
If you see something in
common areas needing
LMA’s attention, please
notify a Board representative, because your LMA
Board is interested in having a beautiful place with
increasing property values
throughout our community
just as you.
On behalf of LMA, I
would like to recognize and
thank the Condo Association on the South side, by
the boat yard and pink villas
for clearing their area of
dead landscaping and replacing new bamboo plantings by the wall of the boat
yard. The South gate is
frequently used daily by our
neighbors and the appearance
is a real plus to the community as a whole.
Thank you for caring!
Dee Ricapito,
LMA Public Relations
EDITOR NOTE: The Eagle
was simply passing on a
“theme” it was hearing at various meetings not calling for
improvements in the “looks of
the community.”
Editor:
After reading some of the
letters to the Editor and "A
Critical Eye," I wonder if
whoever on behalf of our
community is dealing with the
Management of The Landings
Shopping Center for improving its appearance and the
neglected north and south
roadways could also throw
into the mix the possibility of
in some way camouflaging
the opening to the unsightly
dumpster/trash area at the
south end of the Shopping
Center. It is not a pretty sight
to see as one approaches the
main gate to The Landings.
Thank you,
M. Bryda, CH II
The Eagle:
Just a quick note to thank
you for featuring our Midge
in last month's Eagle.
We stopped by PetSmart
and picked up a $25 gift card
and sent it down to the Suncoast Humane Society where
we got Midge.
They have been doing a
heroic job since the hurricanes left hundreds of pets
homeless.

A Critical Eye - A Guest
Commentary
Cartoon
by Ethan Yoder
By Fritz Drybrough
What a delightful surprise I had
wh e n o n e o f o ur r e tu r n i n g
“snowbirds” ran into me in Albertsons and said, “Well, I see the “stop
sign” is gone.”
Most of the time I use the South
Gate, but I had to go and see for myself. Voilá,! It is gone.
I am sure many of us are grateful
for the restoration of this unnecessary
impediment – so thanks to whomever
the powers may be for this very appropriate action.
Now, a word of CAUTION! Those folks who have become accustomed to turning in front of the West bound
traffic will have to yield to oncoming traffic. By the same
token, those of us must cast a wary eye on the East bounders because many might assume they have the right of
way. It may take awhile to return to “normal”.
I have a suggestion for solving a problem that most of you
don’t know about. LMA has from time to time needed a place
for storage, be it equipment, tools, or supplies. We have two
“bay spaces” under cover at the North Gate that could be attractively enclosed to add to the very limited space in the old
guard house that is being used for these purposes now. After
all, there is already a floor, ceiling and power. The cost would
entail the construction of three walls on each side (for symmetry), a couple of garage doors. We could solve a problem
that has been with us for years.
Kudos for the new palm trees on Phillippi Shores Drive. I
wonder if we could spiff up the wall with some paint and get
the County to remove the overgrowth along the south edge of
their park? We should do our part – and it would REALLY
be nice if Kane’s would cover their dumpsters to contain their
trash when the winds blow. How about a letter from the LMA
Management Company?
Help is on the way - Don Smally informs me that we are to
get the ‘plasticized’ road striping treatment – just like the
traffic lines on US 41 etc. – right here on Landings Blvd. This
is a more durable and permanent striping that really holds up.
The same is true for the entrance to the shopping center –
where confusion abounds. Even an added directional arrow
for left turns into the shopping plaza or to go through to US
For the full story see page 7.
41 will be added. That’s good news, but it probably won’t happen until January. Atta’ boy Don!
Have you noticed the ever increasing overhang of trees on
some of our streets? I happened to come in on Landings Blvd.
just after the street sweeper had made his run and wondered
why it swerved out toward the middle of the road in several
places. Then it became obvious that he was dodging the limbs
that were too low over the street. I think this is the property
owner’s responsibility, but in some cases it occurs on the rear
of the property that the homeowner may not see. An example of
this is right across from the “Pink House” on Landings Blvd.
Maybe LHA can give this a look???

Where Landins Can Speak
Anonymously
The Eagle prints items from Landins
without attribution as long as they are not
specific enough to identify individuals, addresses, companies, etc.
We’ll continue the feature as we receive such communications.
Comments are published verbatim except minor editing to insure
clarity.
We do appreciate those dog owners who pick up
after themselves. But there is another group going only half
way. We live near a lake and mangroves and observe some dog
walkers who pick-up with their scooper but deposit the waste in
the mangroves or lake causing further pollution. Almost worse
are those who carefully package the waste in plastic, then deposit the plastic bags in the mangroves or lake interfering with
natural growth and wildlife.
Knowing what we know about the hazards of smoking, I
was both shocked and saddened to see the ad in The Eagle for
the newly opened Tobacco Depot in the Landings Shopping
Plaza. Is The Eagle so desperate for advertising dollars that it
can't refuse ads of this type?
Publisher's Note: We do not discriminate against any legal
business enterprise. A look at the paper should indicate we are
not “desperate” for advertising dollars. It’s those dollars that
permit this size paper.
A speed bump should be placed on Pine Harrier
Circle just east of where Pine Harrier Circle and Drive meet at
about where 1781 Pine Harrier Circle is located. There are
small children and people walking pets on this street, and their
safety should be protected. All too often cars speed up this road
without regard for safety.

STOP!.Going..Going..GOne
by Don Smally
Chairman, Roads and Drainage (and by default
Traffic)
Some months ago the much hated portable speed bump was finally removed
from the entrance gate area. The purpose
of the speed bump
was to convey to
strangers that in
the Landings
we have a
speed limit
that should
be
observed. I concluded that maybe
a stop sign at Kestral Parkway
North would slow traffic down,
and to make it safer, to call it a
three-way stop.
As an experiment I had the stop sign
with the three way designation installed by Ed Ciccolini, our maintenance expert. The three way part of the sign
proved confusing, so it was removed.
Since the stop sign was in place there have
been many comments, all negative. I don't
know if my idea worked or not, but it sure
was unpopular. Therefore I concluded that
the experiment should be ended. I had the
stop sign removed and, on October 5!

Landings Flyboys Meeting
Don Smally
It's fall again, and the Flyboys got
together for their first meeting on
Wednesday October 6 at the Racquet
Club. Seven of us were there: George
Bruckert, Bob Francisco, Jack Graydon, Len Gumley, Eric Pasquini, Don
Smally, and Fred Tiemann.
We talked about the latest SNAFU
wherein the Air Force acquired a fleet
of used K 130 transports that turned
out to un-flyable. This brought back
memories of World War II problems
with defense manufacturers and the
Smally - circa 1945
U.S. Senate Truman Committee which
did a great policing job. Don Smally remembered Truman's
visit to the Wright Aeronautical Company in Cincinnati in 1942
to see radial engines being manufactured. Truman's activities
made him a household name and led to his becoming Vice
President on the 1944 democratic ticket—and becoming President when FDR died.
Len Gumley brought a new book about glider infantry which
contains anecdotes about the many tough assignments in WWII,
and the many casualties at Normandy and in Operation Market
Garden the basis of the book and movie A Bridge Too Far.
Since it's the political season we talked about the upcoming
elections, and we hope that everyone will vote in November.
The meeting is open to all former and present pilots, navigators, bombardiers and air crew members—join us for our
monthly hangar-flying sessions. If you are a former attendee,

the next session on Wednesday, November 3 (the day after the
election) at noon. Bring a sandwich and some interesting flying
stories. We meet at noon at the Racquet Club. If you are not a

have a lot of fun.

Landin Son Honored
Golden Moment
by Jacqueline D. Baldwin, Eagles Point Circle
I am not one of those nice quiet meditative people.
I am always busy doing something, rushing about. My husband says "you would invent work if you could." But I still find
time to read 3 books a week
On a lovely October day after I had had a swim I sat by our
pool at Eagles Point Circle .
Nobody was there. It was 5.15 pm and the sky was cerulean
blue with a few of those puffy clouds that look so nice in nature
and on paintings.
I saw a jet go by high up and wondered if I would see it again
after it went through those little clouds. Looking up I saw one of
the most beautiful sights, about 50 birds. They seemed as high as
the plane, flying in a rather disorganized fashion the sun shone on
them and making them look like large specks of gold. I can’t begin
to describe how beautiful that moving gold shimmer was.
It was one of those golden moments which happens in life; but
so often one is too busy to see them.
One misses a lot of serenity and beauty.

View From the Gate
by Chief Richard Mayo & Lt. Damian Ladue
First and foremost we’d like to welcome back our friends from their long,
but otherwise cool summer in the north!
Hopefully soon it will cool off here and
we can begin to enjoy the outdoors again!
We are aware of the problems at the
North gate and the exit gate not working
for everyone. We will be changing the
Richard Mayo
location of the antenna and hopefully
that will solve the problem. By the time
you read this, the problems should be
over with that gate! Remember, if the
lawn maintenance workers are in the vicinity and are using the leaf blowers or
the mowers, the frequency those machines put out WILL, at times, override
the opener frequency causing the gate to
Damian Ladue
not open when you press the button. Wait
for them to pass by or yell out your window and ask them
to hold off so you can get in or turn around and use the
main gate. Some of the workers are aware of this and will
turn the machine off when people pull up to the gates, but
not all of them. We are aware of the inconvenience of turning around to use another gate; but remember, there are
two additional gates for you to use. We apologize for the
problems you've been having and hopefully after the repair
you won't experience any more problems!

We had some staff changes recently: Barbara Martin is
no longer here; she took a position within the company
working in the main office. Dale Parker moved out of
state; not sure where because it was sudden.
Ron Trudeau is back again; he'll be working the weekend mornings and Wednesday evenings. Rollin Powell
has been with us for a long time, but you may not know
him too well because he normally works only one day a
week - you'll know him now because he will be working
Barbara's old shift on weekdays 6pm-11pm, except
Wednesdays.
Damian, the writer of this article, is getting married on
December 12th, 2004! My fiancée's name is Nanci and
she has two boys in middle school and I have a daughter
in elementary school. The five of us are very excited
about the wedding and look forward to our new life together!

About
We had some extra space available this month and chose to
remind long term readers and familiarize newcomers with the
paper.
This incarnation of The Landings Eagle began in March
2002 through the encouragement of the LMA and its Public
Relations Committee chaired by Dee Ricapito.
The paper is published monthly except July and September
Delivery is targeted for the 1st of the month .
The preparation and mailing of four pages is underwritten
by the LMA for eight months annually, mailing and printing
for two additional months. .
The 28 or so additional pages and two additional months are
possible through advertiser support.
Despite LMA underwriting The Eagle, as part of the original
agreement, is independently reported, written, and edited.
Content is the sole responsibility of the Editor/Publisher.
Resident opinion is welcomed and encouraged. The Eagle
provides for signed letters, anonymous Rants & Raves, guest
columnists and by-lined reports by residents and association
board members.
Current circulation is to all 700+ Landings residences. It is
sent “bulk mail” - unfortunately first class postage would be
$ 1.06 - 1.29 per home, per month before plus printing and
preparation costs.
Additionally, The Eagle is sent to about 130 advertisers,
government officials and area businesses and friends. The
cost for additional copies and postage is covered by advertising
revenues. Between 70 and 100 downloads of the paper occur
monthly from www.LandingsEagle.com
Since the paper cannot be forwarded from your Landings
resident address subscriptions are offered, at our cost for
printing and postage, on a monthly basis. See page 6 for details.
www.LandingsEagle.com is maintained by The Eagle. It
holds all past issues of the new Eagle, in full color, as well
as legal documents and other materials of interest to residents. .

A Landin on Predicting Nature
by Albert L. Weeks
The Earth is a relatively safe place--except when it comes
to hurricanes (ours), volcanoes (Mt. St. Helens) , and earthquakes (California's).
Unfortunately, the odds of when
such events will happen cannot be
determined. You cannot predict them.
The reason is because odds in general
can only be calculated when the
countable "parameters" are known.
Such as with heads & tails on a coin,
which produces 50/50 odds of turning
up one or the other face when tossed
many times, or with the odds of
drawing two aces from a 52-card
deck of cards, which is 1/169.
Here we know the number of cards and aces. But we
don't know all the factors that bring on volcanoes, hurricanes,
and 'quakes--or for that matter, for calculating the probability of
the existence of life on other planets. Which, from what little
we know about terrestrial life and relevant factors in outer
space, seems to be infinitesimally small, despite people's rash
assumptions about the alleged existence of Little Green Men.
Now, consider California's recent earthquake..
For some time, geologists and astronomers--separately-- have
wondered if there were a relationship between positions of
Moon, Sun, and Earth and earthquakes so that 'quakes could be
predicted to some extent.
Their reasons for suspecting this connection are:
1. As with tides, the lining up of Moon and Sun toward
one or the opposite side of the Earth (see diagram) exerts an
enormous gravitational tug on the Earth's crust.
Imagine, too, the resultant strain on this fragile crust, which
as geologists know "breathes" in and out as the Earth spins.
'Quakes are caused by "scraping" fault lines (fissures) in the
crust creating "vibrations." Could periodic tugs at the Earth
bring on such vibes?
2. As noted by some independent scientists, some correlation has been noticed between the relative positions of Sun,
Moon and Earth and frequency of 'quakes.
Yet the studies have been episodic. and uncoordinated.
One reason for this disjuncture is the notorious parochialism
of scientific disciplines: Scientists from differing fields don't
work together in a cooperative, interdisciplinary way.
3. At the time of the recent, late-September California
'quake north of L.A. near the San Andreas Fault and its followup tremors, the Sun and Moon were, indeed, lined up so as to
exert maximum pull on the Earth's crust. Not only that, the Full
Moon near that date was unusually close to the Earth (at maximum "perigee"). Too, the Moon was "riding high." One of the
Moon's motions involves its shifting orbital plane up and down
like a wobbling turn-table. This wobbling orbital plane occurs
over several weeks.
One can notice the phenomenon by looking up at the Moon in
relation to the Zenith. At times the Moon seems to approach
extra high in the sky. Yet some nights later, it will be "riding
low" nearer the southern horizon All such lunar motions obviously exert transverse and other vector forces upon the terrestrial crust..
Bottom Line: What is needed for understanding 'quakes
is a concerted study of these possible correlations-- studies that
have never really been done in any systematic way. If such correlations can be validated, a degree of predictability might be
established for anticipating future 'quakes. This is somewhat
conjectural but, in my opinion, at least, it is worth pursuing.
Our knowledge of the likelihood of earthquakes occurring at
any particular time is very limited. Incidentally, Russian scientists at Moscow State University recently published a study
noting these possible correlations.
Believe it or not, Florida has felt earthquake tremors from
time to time in history. As to hurricanes . . .another time.

TENNIS - A GAME OF “LOVE”
by Jules Chawkins
The sport of tennis has built many a menace
And shows ones true make up
Friendships are lost and even punches are tossed
And borne lead to mental break-ups
Lighten up you hounds of the court
Enjoy your friends and the game
Run, have fun, and lightly cavort
Don’t drive yourself insane
If the ball is out, and you see it as in
Don't yell, don’t scream, it’s not a sin
If you cheat on the call and walk away with the ball
You've won, you’ve won, but what have you won?
Back hand, fore hand, say what the hey
When all is done, its just for fun, and only a game we play
Don’t look for blame, in the end it’s the same
We don’t need an instant replay
Serve with a verve, and of course play to win
Don’t worry about hitting the net
You’ll enjoy the day, each time you play
There’s no need in getting upset
These thoughts my friends will make you a winner
And not the least bit over wrought
You’ll have happy thoughts, as a pro or beginner
And it will not have been for naught.
Musings of an Amateur Gardener
by John Gary
As I drive, bicycle or walk around in The
Landings, I cannot help but appreciate the
beauty of our surroundings. The majestic oaks
and pines, the flowering shrubs and greenery,
the abundance of perennials and annuals and
wide stretches of well maintained turf, all
combine to form a visual feast for the eyes
and for the soul. However, not everything in
Paradise is as lovely as it could be. There are
lawns that are a patchwork of bare spots and brown expanses.
There are plants struggling to survive, way past their retirement
age. There are oaks that are in need of heavy pruning. There
are palms that are on their last leg. Or should I say trunk?
This is the first of a series of brief articles designed to alert
homeowners and condominium boards as to simple ways of
keeping their properties as attractive as possible with a reasonable investment of time and money. I hope you will find them
helpful.
Let’s start with one of the fundamentals. Lawn care.
What does it take to maintain a well groomed lawn? Most
people could come up with comparable lists: Fertilizer, water,
pest control and mowing. Right! Simple?
Not so simple. What kind of fertilizer and how often? How
much water? When should pest control be applied? What constitutes an expert mowing job?
If you are thinking what will follow is a checklist for the perfect lawn, you are mistaken. I cannot give you such a list because there are many answers that could be right and reasonable
for a given application. Some lawns are mostly shady, some
mostly sunny. Some are St. Augustine grass, others are Bahia.
Still others are a mixture composed of “good grasses” and weed
grasses such as Bermuda grass, crab grass and “torpedo” grass.
Each will need different care. These are questions you will want
to discuss in detail with your lawn service people, or, if you are
tackling it yourself, with a garden supply store. What I hope to
do with these articles is to point out some avoidable pitfalls and
common mistakes so that we can all enjoy the results of our
gardening efforts even more.
I realize that those of you who live in a condominium may
not be much concerned about lawn care unless you see a problem developing or you happen to be on the board, in which
case, you had better be concerned.
So, pitfall number one, as it applies to lawns, is to assume
that your lawn service is going to see that your lawn is green,
weed free and beautiful. While they may do a fairly conscientious job of mowing and edging, it is rare for a lawn service
company to provide the care that a lawn needs. That is, not
without your personal involvement. Each homeowner or condominium board should make it a point to walk all around their
property at least twice a month, (once a week is even better,)
taking note of such things as yellowing (a sign of fungus),
browning (possible chinch bug infestation), a color change to
bluish and/or a closing of grass blades (indication soil is too
dry) and ragged ends to the blades of grass (a sign that the
mower blades are not sharpened properly). Early action can
save a lawn from destruction.
Ed note: This is the first in a series of lawn and gardening
pieces John has agreed to do for The Eagle. We welcome his
knowledge.

Robbie Salum’s Tennis Tips
by Robbie Salum LRC Director of Tennis
This is the 2nd of three columns
dealing with the three basic doubles
formations, Both-Up Formation - BothBack Formation, the Up-and-Back
Formation and Side-by-Side Formations, . Each corresponds to a strategy.
BOTH BACK FORMATION
Moving into the Both-Back Formation
is a strictly defensive strategy, strong
but not powerful.
That's because either defender in the
Both-Back Formation could efficiently cover none of the short court’s
angles. The team's chances of scoring outright are slim-to-none.
The only winners they can hit are lobs or drop shots.
Three situations Both –Back Formation may face:
A Against the Both-Up Formation: Neither player on the BothBack team has a passing angle on either opponent. They can lob,
but any lob a little low or short gets smashed.
A Against the One Up-and-One Back Formation: One player
on the Both-Back team might get a chance to hit a winner in between the Up-Back Formation, but unless this player is drawn
wide by an angled volley, his perspective would be poor, and his
passing shot easy to neutralize.
A Against the Both-Back Formation itself: Neither player in
the Both-Back Formation is in a position to hit the sharply angled
shot to either corner that beats Both-Back opponents.
Court Coverage: This defensive strategy has a flaw. The flaw
in the Both-Back Formation's shield is of all things court coverage. This formation covers less territory than any of the other two
formations.
The location of the players on the Both-Back team are inside
the singles sidelines, whereas the back-player on an Up-and-
Back team positions at the singles sideline or outside it. That's
because, in the Up-and-Back Formation, the up-player covers
part of the back-player's side.
The Both-Back Formation covers less territory than the other
formations because net players cover more territory than backplayers, and net players tend to move more in tandem. A BothBack player has no partner at net covering more than half the
court (including part of his side). So a Both-Back player doesn't
dare position as wide as the back-player in the Up-and-Back Formation . Unfortunately, in real life, some players open a gap for a
winner right down the center of their team's court.
Reality bites if you consider how sharp the angles of many
doubles shots are. The Angle of Return is always sharper than
your team's server shot, and if the serve is short, the Angle of
Return can be nasty and full of junk.
How much junk? So spin-poisoned that you'd have to position
wide of the singles sideline (or sometimes even the doubles sideline!) to cover it.
But positioning that wide is not an option for a Both-Back
player.
Now let's look at the aftermath of the Both-Back Formation's
need for more central positioning. It has a domino-effect.
In the Both-Back Formation, players must cover that center
channel:
A Players run farther in pursuit of angle shots.
A The Both-Back Formation leaves a larger opening for angleshots. The Both-Back Formation opponents' angle shots go for
winners.
A The Both-Back Formation opponents’ are less likely to err,
for they needn't angle volleys as sharply as against the backplayer in the Up-and-Back Formation.
If The Both-Back Formation return of serve isn't a winner,
even the angle shots you reach may bring both players out of
position. Since both players are near the center in the Both-Back
Formation, angle shots are more likely to draw you too wide to
recover in time. Formation doesn’t cover the short angles near
the net posts.

Pet of the Month - Ellie
text & photos by Georgia Jeanne Kossoff
“The Pet of the month” receives a
$25 Gift Certificate, courtesy
Pet owner, stop by the store with ID,
paper and pet or picture of pet.
Ellie is a black toy poodle who
belongs to our family. Ellie came as a
surprise for my sister and me last November. My mom had had some trouble finding a dog, and had wanted to
spare us from any disappointment if
getting her did not work out.
The day before my mom and my
dad brought her home, they told my
sister and me only that there was a
member of the family we had not met
yet, and that she was a baby named
Ellie.
Georgia
The night they brought her home,
they wrapped her up in baby blankets
and carried her in like an infant. You should have seen the looks
on our faces!
I just stared and thought "there is something seriously wrong
with this baby"! My sister, on the other hand, got it right away.
Ellie was only 2.2 pounds when she first arrived, but now she
weighs-in at hefty 5.4 pounds.
Ellie is a playful cuddly pup, but she's useful, too. For instance, after my mom had no luck getting my sister and me to
clean-up our markers, she trained Ellie to pick them up and put
them back in their container.
Ellie really loves her life: She adores my sister and me, going
for walks, and getting out of the pool (she has managed to learn
to swim half way across the pool, but not with any poise whatso-ever).
Ellie really makes our family complete.

Manager’s Report
by Kevin Richards
There are several subjects I would like
to address this month.
First, a very warm "Welcome Home"
to all our snowbirds. It is really nice to
start seeing some more friendly faces
around the Club. If you just recently
returned from the north,
we have a couple of big
events coming up in
mid November and the
early part of December.
On Saturday, 13 November at 1:00pm we
have our Annual LRC
Staff Appreciation Day. If you would like to
come by and say thanks to the LRC Staff, please
sign-up at the Pro-Shop.
We are asking all members who attend to
bring a dessert or appetizer to share. The Club will provide a
centerpiece spiral ham and all the beverages.
On Sunday, December 5th, the Club will have its Annual Holiday Gala. This is THE party of the year, so please sign-up early
as we are limited to the number of members who can attend this
event!!
Second, I would like to take just a minute and personally thank
a bunch of folks. Now, I know every time someone does this
they always forget a name or two. So, if I have left you off this
list, please forgive me. I absolutely appreciate everything you
do for the LRC!! OK, a BIG thank you to the current LRC
Board of Directors for everything they have done over the past
3-4 years.
As a side note, I just signed a new three year contract to stay
on as the LRC Manager thru 2007 and this Board was instrumental in getting that done!! My thanks to all previous LRC
Board members - all of you did a superb job in some pretty
difficult times!!
A BIG thank you to Bob, Jack & Ralph (for helping with the windscreens), Barbara, Sally and Judy
(for all the social events and always staying
around to help clean-up), Lisa & Frank, Bob &
Marcia, Dee, Lois, Marilyn, Norbert (for helping
with the pool stuff), Sam & Kathyrn, Lou & Carol,
Adrian & Howard, Saul (for the score keepers),
Ben (for all the landscaping work), George &
Patricia, Julie, Nat & Kaz, Jere (for all the budget
help), Bonnie, Dawn (for the umbrellas), Bob &
Nordis and everyone else who has helped the Staff
at the LRC.
Finally, a sincere thank you to all the LRC members for
allowing me to be a part of your lives for the past 7 years.
Here's wishing you all a safe and joyous Holiday Season!!

LRC President’s Report
By Bob Fernander
Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan
and Jeanne created an emotional
drain on all of us who remained
here enduring the anxiety of uncertainty. Fortunately we escaped relatively unscathed. However the devastation we witnessed on television
and we saw first hand visiting Port
Charlotte and Punta Gorda caused
us all to reevaluate our hurricane
preparedness on a personal level. I
don’t just mean physical preparedness but fiscal preparedness as well.
The LRC Board followed a similar process and took a hard look at written preparation plans
modifying them where appropriate. We had four hurricane advisories to develop them. As a result we think we have most
preventative measures covered, but found other work that
should be accomplished over the next few years to improve our
protection and reduce our vulnerability. The most significant of
those remaining items is the creation of a reserve fund to specifically cover the deductible portion of any insured loss we
might incur in the future.
At present our facilities are insured for a total value of
$1,175,190. If as a result of a hurricane we suffer major damage to the LRC facilities, insurance will not kick in until we
satisfy the deductible (the self insured portion), in our case this
is 5% of the total value of the insurance or $58,759.50. To be
prepared for this and any other unforeseen contingencies, the
board believes it would be judicious to establish a reserve fund
to cover the self-insured portion enabling us to take immediate
action should such action be required.
It is our recommendation that this reserve fund be established immediately and be maintained in perpetuity or until
needed, in a separate, interest bearing reserve account. We propose to fund this account by applying funds received for new
membership this year that were in excess of the amount budgeted, approximately $19,000 and through a one time assessment
of the membership. We will therefore need an additional
$39,759.50 from the membership. This would equate to a onetime assessment of $93.55 per membership. The amount held in
reserve will need to increase with time as our insured amount
and deductible increases. We hope interest and new member
initiation fees can be used to offset these increases. As we complete the 2004 fiscal year perhaps we can find other funds to
apply to the reserve thereby reducing the assessment. As stewards for your club, the board feels strongly that we are acting in
your best interest in this matter. Considering your investment in
the LRC, this is a small price to pay to insure the full protection
and continued operation in the event of an unforeseen insured
event.

Landin Travelers - See Africa
by Barbara Pendrell & Sally White
After an eighteen-hour flight from Atlanta. We, along with
the rest of our group arrived in Cape Town for three days of
touring before heading on safari. While in Capetown we visited
Table Mountain, Kirstenbach Gardens and toured the wine
country. The first stop on our safari was Tswalu in the Kalahari
Desert. From there we moved on to Jao, Vumbura and Chobe
Chilwero in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. On to Victoria
Falls where we glued ourselves to TV catching up on all the
"storm activity" back home. Our final two camps were Mala
Mala and Singita Boulders. As in all the camps we enjoyed fine
cuisine and unbelievable game viewing. Of course The Landings Eagle went along for the ride!
