The Cascades Gazette
The Cascades Gazette “For the Best of Your Life” ~ July & August, 2015 ~ ~ Number 7 ~ Volume 11 ~ From Bill Williams-Board President Welcome residents, friends and visitors. Our summer schedule makes this a two month edition. Linda, our Community Manager and her staff are busy implementing numerous maintenance projects. Our new community Bocce Courts officially re-opened for play on Wednesday June 17th. Denis Scobbo, Bocce Club President assisted as Project Manager for the restoration. A ribbon cutting ceremony and reception was held which included an invitation to the entire community. It was and continues to be a pleasure working with Denis in this endeavor and in other volunteer committees. This is what continues to make the Cascades so “special”. People working together with positive constructive attitudes are making things happen. I hope everyone enjoys their new Bocce Courts for many years to come. New improved lighting at the courts will also be installed in several weeks. We are working on plans for the Lake Bank Maintenance and beautification. Our Lakes Committee has expanded. Director, Richard Passera is now chairing this effort. Your Lake Committee members are Paul Keyes, Jim Sheehy and Denis Scobbo. Their immediate goal is to develop a plan for 2016 and thereafter a multi-year project schedule. It is our expectation that funding will be made through our regular annual budget process. The exit swing gates which were damage by a vehicular accident have been repaired and are in operation. The repair expenses were paid by the insurance company of the vehicle driver. Pedestrian safety is our mutual responsibility. While new warning signs have been installed, some drivers still disobey our 25 MPH speed limit. No one should be in such a hurry that they risk the lives of pedestrians, bikers and pets. The active lifestyle of your neighbors means they are getting exercise and deserve a safe place to walk and bike. On behalf of the Board of Directors and Community Manager, we appreciate your consideration of pedestrians, bikers and our beloved pets’ safety in your travels. I would also like to thank Ron Kubinski, affectionately known as “Inspector Gadget”, for his outside LED lighting projects. They not only look beautiful, but they save us significantly on electricity. Our Community thrives on Volunteerism. Our gates always seem to be damaged after-hours or on weekends, Jim Burgess is a man who never lets us down. His mechanical and electrical skills bring a positive response to most minor emergencies at our gates. Like the above listed persons, Jim and the others make us proud to live in the Cascades. As President, I get to work with them and enjoy their collaboration. You too can join us by contacting Linda and letting her know you want to serve. ...continued on next page ...continued from front page We are now in the Hurricane Season and I urge residents to be prepared. We are hosting a Seminar on Hurricane Preparedness on Wednesday, July 15th at 1:00 PM in the clubhouse sponsored by the Estero Fire & Rescue Department. Please attend and get your questions answered. Many of us have not lived here since Hurricane Charlie and Wilma. I hope to see you at our seminar. I wish everyone a very Happy July 4th holiday. May this summer season be enjoyable for you and your family and friends. Than you all for your support of our efforts. Enjoy! Bill Please note… When placing your trash containers at the curb to be picked up make sure the silver bar is facing towards the street. This enables Waste Pro to pick up your trash container properly. Thank You! ACTIVITY DEPARTMENT NOTICE No CASH will be accepted for Lynn Danko, our Activity Director’s Events ~ CHECKS ONLY ~ 2 Made payable to CASCADES ACTIVITIES!! Thank You. Manager’s Memo... HAVE FUN AND STAY SAFE! Hello Everyone! I do hope all of you are enjoying your summer, we too, are having a good time in “steamy” Florida. Although many of you are seasonal residents, please know Lynn is still providing some fun summer events for the owners, so be sure to take a look at the bulletin board for upcoming programs and sign up in the Purple Book, which is located by the Administrative Office door. If you haven’t signed up yet, a July 4th celebration is scheduled at noon! A few repairs have already taken place; we have repainted all the road stripes in the community and added road reflectors to the Cascades Isle Blvd. A few 25 MPH signs have been added to the Blvd. too. We will be installing the Women’s Club donation of two benches very soon. The Bocce Courts are done and look great! The Billiards room has been painted, a clock has been added and all the pool tables have been re-covered, along with the addition of a few new pool cues. We have many upcoming projects scheduled this summer; re-upholstering the chairs in Card Room #1, more touch-up painting in the clubhouse, the marble lobby floor will be polished, carpet steam cleaning throughout the clubhouse, the re-strapping of the pool lounge chairs and pressure washing the common ground areas. Along with a few more miscellaneous repairs! Please know that during this current landscaping trim-cycle, Dakota is performing hard-cuts on certain varieties of shrubs. Now that we are in rainy season, the weeds in the plant beds and driveways may grow at a rapid speed due to weather conditions. Dakota is working continuously to keep the weeds under control. Please be patient; due to inclement weather conditions, services may be pushed back some. Should you need their assistance, work orders can be located in the library and dropped off at the Administrative office. It looks like the Cascades has “mascots” Oscar the otter and his girlfriend Opal are residing in one of our lakes. Here is a brief update on our lakes appearance, our lakes have been treated with herbicide which slowly kills the plant at the root, if you see floating debris on the surface, it is a good sign that the herbicide has submersed and killed the vegetation beneath. The lakes may at first look worse as the dying vegetation begins to decompose, but know that our lake maintenance team is on top of it and are prepared to treat the algae blooms that may appear. I’d like to thank the Cascades staff and all our vendors that help make Cascades at Estero a fun and beautiful community to live in. I wish you and your family a safe and fun-filled July 4th and a great summer to all! As always, if you need anything please let me know. 3 Happy July 4th!

Our Cascades Veterans were asked to stand and be recognized as their Military Anthem was sung. The residents were asked to sing along with the “Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America”. Memorial Day was a special day for one and all. The Cascades Chorus will be resuming our rehearsal schedule on Thursday, September 3rd, 2015 from 9:30 am to 11:00 am.

Children with any type of mental or physical disability can join the league and play baseball just like regular Little League athletes. There are currently 90 kids and seven teams from Lee County participating in the Challenger League. The Cascades Chorus has attended our Opening Day for the past three years and sung the National Anthem, God Bless America and Take Me Out to the Ballgame. They always do a great job whenever they perform. On Saturday, May 9, the 12th Annual Challenger Charity Golf Tournament was held at Worthington Country Club in Bonita Springs. Ninety golfers participated in the Tournament. The following residents from Cascades participated in the Tournament: Rich Fein, Chris Burgess, Ray Amara, Al Lefebvre, Tony Clese, Ted Munsch, Jim Sheehy, John Cole, Mike Nye, Dohn Beard, Steve Susko, and Jo Ann Susko. In addition to the golfers, the following Cascade residents volunteered their assistance at the Tournament and throughout the season: John Lovett, Rosemary De Cicco, John Kucko, Ralph Sharp, John Brubaker, and John Newell. Thanks to these special people, the golf tournament and season were a home run for the children and parents of Challenger Baseball. If you want to know more about Tri-County Challenger Baseball please contact Rocky Barron at 9574 Lismore Lane or 239 390 1747. I can tell you more about these extraordinary athletes and their parents.

CASCADES OWNERS: PHIL ROCCARO, BOB JAWORSKI & PAUL GIACCHETTI Submitted by Lynn Roccaro We had the honor of being part of the Collier County Honor Flight. On Saturday, June 20th, we left RSW Airport, along with 75 WWII and Korean War vets for a chartered flight to Washington DC. When we landed in Baltimore airport, we were welcomed by fire trucks that sprayed our plane from both sides in a water salute. We were escorted all the way into Washington with a motorcycle and police escort, sirens blazing all the way. Our day comprised of visiting the WWII Memorial, Korean War Monument, Iwo Jima Monument and Arlington National Cemetery (the tomb of the unknown soldier and the changing of the guards). Senator Bob Dole met with every veteran personally. He was very impressed to hear that Paul’s six brothers and a sister-in-law had served during WWII. With Paul’s service in Korea, the Giacchetti family became known as “The Chicago Eight”, with a story featured in the Purple Heart Magazine. Because of the storm delay, we didn’t arrive back into Florida until 1:30 in the morning. Believe it or not, there were still over 200 men, women and children waiting to greet us. So many people thanked us for our service it brought tears to our eyes for their gratitude. This story would not be complete without thanking the organizers. We all had breakfast, lunch, dinner, water and snacks all day long. We all had sponsors that never left our sides and pushed us all day in wheelchairs. We were given jackets, hats, shirts and duffle bags. We had a doctor and nurse accompany us along with a news photographer. They thought of everything and then some. We were truly blessed by this amazing day and wonderful experience. GOD BLESS AMERICA 18 THE WOMEN’S CLUB IS DOING IT AGAIN & EVERYONE IS INVITED!
