might include driving to doctors’ appointments, grocery
shopping, providing a meal during illness, or providing
a few hours’ respite care for a homebound resident
while the caregiver takes a needed break. If you are

He placed a notice in a Chicago paper; an
advertisement for a “reliable” wife. She responded.

about her was her determination to marry this man

wealthy widow.

Shrek
Saturday, December 3 • 2:00 p.m. • $71 per ticket
SHREK THE MUSICAL,
based on the Oscar®-winning
DreamWorks film that started
it all, brings the hilarious story
of everyone’s favorite ogre to
dazzling new life on the stage.
In a faraway kingdom turned
upside down, things get ugly
when an unseemly ogre — not
a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty
princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a bad
guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude
and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve
got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily,
there’s one on hand...and his name is Shrek.
Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking
scenery, SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part
twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!
Cirque Dreams
Holidaze
Sunday, January 1 • 6:00 p.m. • $62.00 per ticket
Ornaments come to life when CIRQUE DREAMS
HOLIDAZE costumed characters perform astonishing
feats that celebrate the holiday season with spectacle,
imagination and whimsical dreams. Marvel at gingerbread men flipping through the air,
toy soldiers skillfully marching on thin wires, snowmen
daringly balancing, icemen sculpting powerfully,
penguins spinning, puppets caroling and reindeer
soaring high above a landscape of holiday wonderment.
An original musical score with some holiday favorites
combined with dazzling costumes and a sparkling
stage set makes CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE the
perfect gift of entertainment for the entire family. 16 ~ Talk of the walk MAY 2011

Bike Concerns
Please do not park bikes inside the
lap pool. Please use the bike racks or
park them temporarily on the sidewalk
close to the bike racks if the racks
are full. Please do not ride bikes,
skateboards, etc. or drive golf carts on
the Town Center sidewalks. It would
be so easy to round a corner and run
into someone by accident. Think how bad you would feel
if you ran into someone and hurt them! Please walk your
bikes on the Town Center sidewalks and do not park bikes
on the Town Center sidewalks.
The HOA is looking into purchasing more bike racks
for the Town Center and Fitness Center which should help
with proper bike storage. Your cooperation in keeping the
Town Center safe and secure for all is appreciated.
New Developments about
Hurricane Shutter Use
The new developments:
The Board of Directors
has allowed that hurricane
shutters installed over sliding
glass doors may be closed
for short, defined periods of
time throughout the year if they are white or painted
to match the color of the home. Defined periods:
When Homeowners are vacationing or have a family
emergency, they may close the shutters located only
over their sliding glass doors for additional security
purposes. Homeowners who wish to do this are to
contact the HOA office and let the HOA know the
dates you will be away and shutters will be installed.
Included in this allowance are shutters installed over
lanai openings where they protect the sliding glass
doors. Shutters installed over the lanai openings are
subject to the same short, defined periods of time,
and the same HOA notification procedure applies.
Shutters may not be closed for several months prior
to Hurricane Season of June 1 through November
30: this allowance is for short term only (vacations
or family emergencies) with HOA notification. This
allowance has been made by the Board in the interests
of safety and security for VillageWalk Homeowners. It
is not intended to extend the period hurricane shutters
may be installed prior to hurricane season of June 1
through November 30. Please remember: shutters may
only be installed during the official state designated
Hurricane Season of June 1 through November 30.
Shutters installed prior to that date must be removed
immediately or Homeowner will be subject to a fine.
H . O . A . I n f o r m at i o n
Dogs
Dogs may not be outside the home
unless they are on a leash and under your
supervision. Owners may not leave a pet
outside tied to a leash and unattended or
unattended on the lanai. It is the dogowners responsibility to clean up after his/her pet.
At the Pool
“Food and beverages are
prohibited in the pool and
on the pool wet deck area;
animals and glass containers
are prohibited within the
fenced pool area, or 50 feet
from the pool edge when no
fence exists.” Per Florida
Administration Code 64E-9.004 (4). Anyone found
in violation will be asked to leave the pool and their
privileges may be revoked indefinitely. There will be
random patrols of the pool weekdays and weekends.
In the event the Health Department inspector
conducts a surprise visit on the weekends when the
management team is gone, the inspector will close
down the pool and fine the association if he finds
people with food or drink in the pool or on the pool
deck. The HOA defines the pool deck as ten feet from
the water’s edge.
Upland Planting Beds.
These areas are
controlled by local
government agencies.
In our case, Bonita
Springs and Lee County
are both involved. We
have very little choice in
the matter. Normally, these beds are installed and left
to grow naturally without any trimming at all. We have
had owner requests to trim them because the lake view
becomes obscured due to normal growth. The beds
typically consist of bald cypress trees, palmetto plants
and wax myrtles. Wax myrtle cannot be “uplifted”
(trimming lower branches) because this causes heart
rot and kills the plant. Wax myrtle can be thinned
somewhat but we have to be very careful. Thinning the
upland planting beds is not part of the contract with our
landscape maintenance company.
( c o n t. )
Lawn Debris Removal
Any lawn debris should be containerized or bundled
and placed on the curb after 6:00 p.m. on Mondays for
the Tuesday morning pick up by Veolia.
Lake Bank restrictions.
Our landscape contractors are prohibited from
using fertilizer and atrazene (best product for dollar
weed) within 30 feet of a lake bank. The fertilizer
prohibition is to prevent or minimize fertilizer getting
into the water supply where it can be carried out to
the Caloosahatchee. What they want to prevent is
algae blooms and red tide in the Gulf. Additionally,
you may notice weeds around some of the lakes. Dog
fennel is the most common. It is better to have weeds
which stabilize the banks and prevent erosion than to
remove the weeds and have erosion which is a much
more expensive fix. When the summer rains fill our
lakes and canals again, the weeds will die off because
they are not aquatic plants. Mainscape does not use
Atrazine because of it being a restricted product and
prone to leaching problems. Mainscape uses a newer
product called Mansion which is much more effective
while being sensitive to the environment.
Water Restrictions Delay Plant and
Sod Installations
Southwest Florida Water
Management District has
mandated severe water restrictions
throughout Florida due to the
drought conditions affecting our
state. As a result, the HOA will be delaying plant and
sod installations until rainy season begins (typically
June). April and May are the driest months of the year.
With the water restrictions currently in place, special
arrangements for additional irrigation are not permitted
for small areas of installations (i.e. small areas of 15
to 20 plants, a small area of sod 20 pieces or less, a
Hibiscus or Magnolia tree placed singly in a bed). If
the areas to be replaced are 50% or greater of the total
area needing replacement, then special irrigation can
be permitted. Only those installations will continue
April through May. Owners of properties where plant
replacement is planned – if they are staying in Bonita
and are willing to water new plants every day for the
first 30 days, we can plant replacement plants now. For
everyone else, we will schedule replacement plants to
be installed in June when the rainy season begins.
