Welcome back to our northern
owners who are here for a few
months, enjoying the beautiful
weather and making their friends
and family back home jealous!
Winter is upon us but unlike the
rest of the country, it has been
beautiful. It's great seeing so
many residents out and about
and enjoying our amenities.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
that these mild temperatures stay
with us until spring!

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION IS IN FULL SWING
We have been busy making
improvements around the
community. Some recent
projects include replacing
the guardhouse columns,
painting the exterior of
the clubhouse and guardhouse, upgrading the
bocce ball court to a concrete/carpeted surface,
and re-staining the pool
deck. Plans are being made
to resurface the tennis
courts, upgrade the monuments at the front entrance
and add some sun shades
to the pool deck. Your
comments/suggestions are
always welcome. Please
feel free to stop by the office and let us know what
changes you would like to
see!
THE BATS ARE BACK
I am saddened to say that
there have been bat sightings
again in our community. A
few homes have had to 'evict'
them recently, which means
they have taken up residence
in another homeowner's property. The cost associated
with protecting your home
from bats is minimal compared to the cost to evict
them. The average cost to
have your house sealed to protect against a bat infestation is
around $400. The cost to
evict bats from your home
exceeds $1,000. Be proactive
now and save yourself some
money. The association office
has a list of vendors who can
assist you.

PROPERTY WIDE
RESIDENCE MAINTENANCE
Property wide inspections
have begun! Our focus
this year (other than the
typical maintenance requirements) is on house
painting and landscape replacement. As the landscaping matures, some
shrubs begin to get
'stemmy' or overgrown to
the point they cannot be
trimmed.
These items
have exceeded their useful
life and need to be replaced. In addition, there
may be some trees that
were planted by the developer that have not survived
or were taken out because
they were "ugly" or
"messy".
Each lot in the community followed a
master
landscape
plan. Included in this
plan was a county requirement for native
canopy trees. Due to
the size of the lots, each
lot in Portofino is required to maintain three
(3) native canopy trees
or a total of 7.5 inches
in diameter of native
canopy trees.
These trees cannot
be removed unless
they are diseased or
dead.
Because of
this, a county permit
is required to remove
any trees. Lots that
no longer have
three native canopy
trees or a TOTAL
of 7.5 inches in
trunk diameter in
native canopy trees
will be required to
replace the missing
trees. More information on what is
considered a 'native
canopy tree' is available at the association office or on the
website
at
www.portofinoshore
s.net.

MAILBOX MAYHEM
We are still experiencing
some mailbox issues in
the neighborhood.
Please do your part to
make our postal carrier’s job a bit easier.
Do not park in the street
near your mailbox or
block the mailbox access
with garbage cans. In
addition, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to
keep your mailbox clean.
They thank you in advance for your consideration!
OUR FURRY
FRIENDS
We
understand
that dogs are a
member of most
people's families.
As much we all
love them, each
owner needs to
take responsibility
for his pet and
respect
the
neighbors in the
comm unit y.
Please be sure to
pick up after your
pet, whether it is
in your own yard
or while out in the
neighborhood.
Always walk with a
baggie. Waste management is a priority!
In addition, dogs
should always be on a
leash and under control of an adult, shall
not be chained in the
yard unsupervised, and
barking must be controlled.
As always, if you have
any questions or concerns, Peggy and I are
in the office to assist
you. Feel free to call
or stop by at any time.
Have a wonderful winter/spring!

IN MEMORY OF NICHOLAS ECONOMOS
Barbara Bishop of Portofino Shores would like to announce the passing of her loving father, Nicholas Economos. He was 94 years young and lived in Holiday Pines.
Nick lived a full and interesting life. At the young age of 11 he was discovered by a talent
scout swimming in a local pool in New Jersey and was selected to be a child model for
RCA Corporation. He was featured on their national ad campaigns from 1930 to 1935.
In his youth Nick trained as an aircraft mechanic and rose to plant manager for Brewster
Aviation. Although building airplanes was his passion when demand diminished in the
fifties, he became a home builder/developer.
Adventure was no stranger to Nick. He was a private pilot and traveled to many destinations in his Cessna 310. After retiring he sold his plane and restored and lived on his solid
teak 44 foot sailboat for eight years.
At the age of 69 Nick designed and built his home in Holiday Pines and was best known in
his later years for building Paraguayan Harps.
Nick left his wife Maria Dolores, 2 children, 4 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and 1
great-great grandchild. He was an inspiration to the whole family and we will dearly miss
him.

BEST HOME FOR YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY
Well St Patrick’s Day is almost here. After that big dinner of corned
beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes , Irish soda bread & a pint (glass of
beer) , you'll want just a little sweet. Unlike the French , the Irish are
not known for beautiful sweet confections but they do a beautiful,
simple, buttery treat called "short bread!" It's a lovely little melt in
your mouth finish to a hearty dinner.
Made with just 3 ingredients, what could be easier? Makes 2/ 8x8
pans, 45 min in a 350 oven
5 cups of flour
1 cup of sugar and 1 lb of butter (softened)
Blend flour & sugar together, add butter. Mix until it will form a ball.
Press into 2 pans, prick w/fork and bake Cut into small squares or
diamonds while still warm sprinkle w/powdered sugar.
Until next time, keep cooking!
