From bocce to bus trips and tennis to fitness, Pelican Marsh has been the happening place to be! Activity levels have set record highs in all areas. The three new bocce courts have been well-received, and with the recent hire of Roz Polak, the future is looking bright. The courts are open to residents and their guests and the neighborhood intramural league is on a roll, pun totally intended. The tennis courts have remained busy every day. With a complete reconstruction of courts No. 4 and No. 5, more “Marshers” and their guests have swept the courts and enjoyed more play time than ever. Many thanks to Pete Minarich, Johann Saubier and the tennis staff for making the court reservations smooth and efficient, and increasing the ability of the players through all the hours of court time, use of the ball machine, clinics and lessons. Patrick Webb and his staff have diligently added more classes to increase the variety of offerings in our exercise facility. The high class attendance has confirmed that there is something for everyone! The first season of “The Biggest Loser” proved a successful way to develop new exercise and nutrition habits in a fun and motivating way. Lynn Albert, with the able assistance of Rebecca Lambert, has developed an unbelievable assortment of social events that have been attended in record numbers. Speaker series, art classes, events around Naples, meet the author book talks and festive dinner events have provided many opportunities to gather with your neighbors as well as meet new residents. Financially, we are in a very solid position with strong liquidity and no debt. Real estate sales continue at a good pace as Pelican Marsh retains its position as a top-tier community. None of this would have been possible without the great leadership of Diana Pleeter and the rest of her staff. The daily management of Pelican Marsh is in great hands and we should all remember to say a word of thanks to Diana when we see her. Many thanks to all of my Board Members for their support and hard work this season. Special thanks to Rich Spiwak, who will soon be retiring.

OUR TENNIS FACILITY End season with tennis mixer Message from your Director of Tennis By Pete Minarich the more memorable events of the year. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the season. I hope you’ll join us! We are already planning for our summer activities and project work at the Tennis Center. This year, we will be doing a scarification of courts No. 2 and No. 3 along with a laser regrading that will restore the courts to their original pitch. They will play better, drain better and look better after the process, which is part of our long-term maintenance plans for the tennis facility. Players who travel to other clubs in the area know that Pelican Marsh has some of the best courts in Southwest Florida and we plan on keeping them up to the highest standards in the industry. Finally, I want to thank a number of people who have been vital to our success. Thank you, Diana Pleeter, our General Manager and a fine tennis player, for paving the way for all the good things we’ve been able to do with the program in recent years. Thank you to our Foundation Board for recognizing SAVE THESE DATES FOR 2015 APRIL 4 - EASTER EGG HUNT MAY 2 - KENTUCKY DERBY PARTY www.pelicanmarsh.com the importance of the tennis program in this community and supporting our efforts. Thank you to our Tennis Advisory Committee who keeps a watchful eye on the program and helps make it the best it can be. I also want to send out a big THANK YOU to our tennis CONTENTS April is the last month of our “season” here in Naples and what a season it has been! We set new records in many different areas this year in our tennis program and had a blast doing it. We hosted the largest attendance for a Pro League in Naples—ever! We set a new record for participation in our Tennis Club Championships and had full capacity sign-ups for our events, including our new Men’s Night and Ladies’ Night Tennis Mixers. Our cardio and regular tennis clinics enjoyed their highest level of participation and our courts were often busy into the evening hours. How do you finish up a great season? With a great event—so we’re planning our “End of the Season Tennis Mixer and Dinner” for the evening of Fri., April 17. Mark your calendar now and sign up as soon as possible because the tennis will fill up.

Tile Stone Hardwood Carpet The Pro League at Pelican Marsh By Pete Minarich, Director of Tennis Do you remember the Carly Simon song that was used in a James Bond movie from many years ago that went “Nobody does it better…”? Well, it was “music to my ears” when several of the pros who played in the event here at Pelican Marsh on March 4 came up to me and told me, “Nobody does the Pro League better than Pelican Marsh.” Was it the fact that we had more than 300 spectators watching exceptional tennis? Was it the yummy All-American Cookout that got rave reviews from our hungry patrons? Was it the FREE beer, wine and soft drinks that Florida Community Bank so generously donated and served to us for our big evening? Was it the draw of great players, including former Wimbledon Champion JoAnne Russell and former French Open Champion Pavel Slozil, who played against each other on court No. 5? Was it the fact that our Head Pro Johann Saurbier won back-toback, hard-fought matches on court No. 4 after teaching all day long? Was it the picture-perfect weather that evening? We will attempt to answer all these questions next year in March when we host the Pro League again but, boy, it’s going to be tough trying to top this one!

Instead of the “schedule your own match time and day” format of previous years, this year we held three tournaments on three separate weekends to decide the champions in singles, mixed doubles and men’s and ladies’ doubles. The matches were competitive yet friendly and a lot of fun to watch. On the final Sunday of the doubles competition, there were eight finals; five of them went to the third set match tiebreak, two of them were 7-6, 6-4 and only one was a decisive win. That made for a lot of nail-biting drama and kept the spectators very engaged.

My staff and I would like to extend our thanks to all of our residents for helping make this a busy and fulfilling season. Often in the fall, I find that a lot of my clients and fitness center regulars have let their fitness slip over the summer, returning in a “broken” state that requires two to three months to catch up. In the interest of mitigating this problem, I am providing our community with the up-to-date American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines for exercise. These standards offer time and intensity recommendations for cardiovascular, resistance and flexibility exercises. They also outline recommendations for neuromotor exercise (commonly referred to as functional training)—modalities that focus on improving and maintaining motor skills such as balance, coordination, gait and agility. According to the ACSM, neuromotor exercise can be especially beneficial for older adults, enhancing balance and muscle strength and reducing the risk of falls and other injuries. To fulfill neuromotor recommendations, the ACSM suggests participating in activities like tai chi or yoga. Functional resistance training that involves a significant degree of balance and utilization of multiple muscle groups will also fulfill the recommendations for neuromotor exercise. Cardiovascular exercise • Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity cardiovascular exercise per week. • Exercise recommendations can be met through 30-60 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise (five days per week) or 20-60 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise (three days per week). (For those with busy schedules, www.pelicanmarsh.com exercise longer on days when more time is available or break workouts into several 10-minute increments throughout the day. • Gradual progression of exercise time, frequency and intensity is recommended for best adherence and least injury risk. Note: Individuals unable to meet these minimums can still benefit from some activity. Resistance exercise • Adults should train each major muscle group two or three days each week using a variety of exercises, modalities and equipment. • Very light or light intensity is best for older persons or previously sedentary adults starting exercise. • Two to four sets of each exercise will help adults improve strength and power. • For each exercise, 8-12 repetitions improve strength and power, 10-15 repetitions improve strength in middleage and older persons starting exercise and 15-20 repetitions improve muscular endurance. • Adults should wait at least 48 hours between resistance training sessions. Flexibility training • Adults should do flexibility exercises at least two or three days each week to improve range of motion. • Each stretch should be held for 10-30 seconds to the point of tightness or slight discomfort. • Repeat each stretch two to four times, accumulating 60 seconds per stretch. • Static, dynamic, ballistic and PNF stretches are all effective. Note: Flexibility training is most effective when the muscle is warm. Try light aerobic activity or a hot bath to warm the muscles before stretching (or stretch between exercises or at the end of a resistance or cardiovascular training session). Neuromotor exercise and functional fitness • 20-30 minutes of neuromotor exercise or functional fitness training is recommended two to three days per week. • Exercises should involve motor skills (balance, agility, coordination and gait), proprioceptive exercise training and multifaceted activities (such as tai chi and yoga) to improve physical function and prevent falls in older adults. Pelican Marsh Brief, April 2015 7 Walking your way to mental health By Patrick Webb, Director of Fitness Walking 6 to 9 miles a week is associated with increased gray matter in the brains of older adults, according to a study published in Neurology (2010; 75 [16], 1415–22) “Just by walking regularly, and so maintaining a little bit of moderate physical activity, you can reduce your likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease and [can] spare brain tissue,” Kirk I. Erickson, lead study author and assistant professor of psychology at University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, told HealthDay. The study participants were subjects in the Pittsburgh site of the larger Cardiovascular Health Cognition Study, a longitudinal study conducted over a 13-year period. The researchers wanted to determine if consistent moderate physical activity was associated with improved cognitive health in older adults. So 299 David Keegan Realtor ARBORS SO LD adults with a mean age of 78 in 1989 were recruited, and the distance each person walked per week was monitored. Nine years later, MRI brain scans were conducted to measure brain size. At nine years, none of the participants exhibited any cognitive impairment. Tested again at 13 years, approximately one-third of the subjects had experienced cognitive decline. Analysis showed that the individuals who walked a minimum of 6 miles per week had more gray-matter volume and only half the risk of developing cognitive impairment compared with AUGUSTA LD $1,095,000 GABLES RE C DU ED $860,000 974 Spanish Moss Trail Well maintained 3 bedroom/3 bath- This fabulous 4 bedroom/den/3 This lovely 3 bedroom/den/3 bath- room plus den in the Arbors. bathroom residence is located on room residence is located on the This spacious home features: the golf course in Augusta at Pelican lake in the desirable “Gables” sec- stainless GE Profile appliances, Marsh.

You use both fat and carbohydrates for energy during exercise. During exercise at a very low intensity (e.g., walking), fat accounts for most of the energy expenditure. As exercise intensity increases, the contribution from fat goes down while the contribution from carbohydrates go up. As your intensity approaches what is known as the lactate threshold, you are mostly using carbohydrates. Once the intensity has passed this threshold, carbohydrates become the sole source of energy. If you exercise for a long enough duration (1.5–2 hours), your muscles’ carbohydrate content and blood glucose become depleted. This represents a threat to the muscles’ survival because carbohydrates are muscles’ preferred energy source.

It is often assumed that since more fat is utilized at low exercise intensities, that lowintensity exercise is best for burning fat. This is the idea that leads to the concept of a “fat-burning zone.” If we look at the total picture, however, although only a small amount of fat is used when exercising at a higher intensity (closer to the lactate threshold), the rate of caloric expenditure and the total number of calories expended are much higher than they are when exercising in the lower intensity “fat-burning zone.” So, although carbohydrates are the main source of energy, the total amount of fat used is higher. For fat and weight loss, what really matters most is the absolute difference between the calories you burn and the calories you consume. It doesn’t really matter what energy source you are utilizing during exercise. Weight loss and getting rid of fat is about burning lots of calories and cutting back on the number of calories consumed in your diet. There are two good ways to burn more calories and fat in your workouts: Go hard or go long. Going long involves longer duration periods of exercise (≥ 1.5–2 hours) such as walks, runs or bike rides at 65–70 percent maximum heart rate. This activity results in a depletion of glycogen that threatens the It is a popular myth that you must exercise in a specific range of heart rates to burn fat. Many cardio machines display a “fat-burning zone,” directing you to exercise in a specific heart rate range. High-intensity exercise decreases your body fat percentage. The best way is through interval training, which breaks up the higher intensity work with periods of active rest. Interval training improves your fitness more effectively and is better than continuous exercise for burning lots of calories. Interval training also results in a higher post-workout metabolic rate. muscles’ survival, forces the muscle to adapt to using fat more effectively and, over time, increases the amount of fat the muscle uses during exercise.

Exercise puts stress on your muscles, joints and bones, and your body “uses up” nutrients during workouts. Post-exercise foods are all about putting back what you’ve lost and providing the raw materials needed for repair and healing. In fact, it’s the recovery from exercise that really allows you to see results in terms of building strength, endurance and lean muscle tissue. Not recovering properly can leave you weaker as you go into your next workout and could increase your injury risk. Think beyond protein Protein is a building block of muscle, so it is important after exercise, but an ideal recovery meal should also include good fat (also needed for healing muscles and joints), as well as plenty of nutrient-rich produce and a healthy source of starch, such as quinoa, sweet potato or beans. These foods replenish nutrients that have been depleted and provide energy to fuel your post-exercise metabolism. A great post-workout meal might be something like a smoothie made with either pea protein powder or grass-fed organic whey protein, whipped with fruit, leafy greens, almond butter or coconut oil and oats or quinoa, or an omelet made with one whole organic egg and three whites, paired with veggies, avocado and black beans. Join The 90% of Pelican Marsh Residents Who Stop At Stop Signs! www.pelicanmarsh.com Water before meals If you’re more than 35, two glasses of water before meals increases weight loss by 30 percent. Of all diet and weightloss tips, this one may be the simplest! In a recent study presented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society, researchers reported that middle-aged and older adults lost 30 percent more weight when simply drinking two cups of water before each meal. Researchers split overweight and obese participants between the ages of 55 and 75 into two groups. Both groups were instructed to eat a low-calorie/ low-fat diet for 12 weeks, however, only one of the groups was told to drink two cups of water prior to each meal. By the end of the study, the group that was told to drink water before meals lost nearly 16 lbs. compared to 11 lbs. for the dietonly group. Not a new idea, this was based on prior studies that have shown a reduction in calories eaten during a meal in which you drank water first. The prior study did not determine the direct benefit to weight loss, according to the article published by HealthDay News. This is great news for those who are middleage and older. Unfortunately, if you’re under 35, it won’t likely work for you. In an interview with the researchers, it was explained that gastric emptying occurs at a slower pace as we age, so drinking water will more likely keep you full longer the older you are. In other recent research, encouraging water drinking has been shown to also replace the consumption of sugary beverages, which on average increase caloric intake by 300 kilocalories per day.

Pelican Marsh Brief, April 2015 11 The happiness factor By Patrick Webb, Director of Fitness Developing a Buddha Brain One Simple Practice at a Time (New Harbinger 2011). Mental activity, such as meditation, can reshape the brain and help it focus on the positive. writer in the Los Angeles area, shares some insights from happiness experts. Want to live a longer and better life? Increase your happiness! Contrary to old notions that happiness is shallow or naïve, there is a growing body of evidence that happiness is beneficial for morbidity (risk of illness), survival of illness and longevity (Diener & Chan 2011). Diener and Chan’s research review suggests that high subjective wellbeing may add 4–10 years of life compared with low subjective well-being (and the years will also be more enjoyable than they would have been for less happy people, the authors note). So how do you become happier? Mary Monroe, a freelance Exercise helps “Exercise may well be the most effective instant happiness booster of all activities,” says researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky in her book, The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want (Penguin 2007). A review of more than 50 studies confirmed that there is sufficient evidence to show that even single sessions of activity can improve mood, and people who are more active are more likely to rate themselves Train the brain to be happy and their mental well-being more positively (Fox 1999). Move from negative to positive In addition to exercise, you need to take in good experiences to feel happier and more confident. This helps you defeat the brain’s negativity bias, which is like Velcro for bad experiences but Teflon for positive ones, notes Rick Hanson, Ph.D., in his book, Just One Thing: You can also “trick” the brain to take in the good or to deeply savor positive experiences, says Hanson. He suggests that by holding positive experiences in awareness for 10, 20 or even 30 seconds, you can train your brain to remember them, helping to offset the natural inclination to forget the positive and remember the negative. making small adjustments to stay in more efficient, balanced positions will make that position our default posture. Pay attention to how balanced your muscles feel in relation to each other. Top to bottom, side to side and front to back. Does it feel like one side of your body works more than the other? If so, what adjustments can you make to feel more of a 360degree balanced muscle action? Look for easy ways to adjust your physical environment to promote better posture automatically. For example, set your computer screen and keyboard at a level that allows you to sit upright, with gaze forward and chin elevated.

It concluded that although hydration before, during and after exercise is critically important, each person will have a different and variable water loss. A blanket recommendation is not possible. Just keep in mind that by the time you feel thirsty, you are already experiencing dehydration. As a general guideline, drink one to two cups every two to four hours before an activity. During activity, drink every 15–20 minutes to maintain hydration. Continue drinking after the activity to replace the fluid lost during exertion.

I decided on 6C, since it might not take much to make it, and believed that the opponents probably would not bid 6H and force me to take out insurance with a 7C bid.

Rambosk is calling on the community to help stop the trend. Seventy-six percent of the vehicle break-ins in Collier County this year have happened to unlocked cars. The Collier County Sheriff’s continued on page 17 www.pelicanmarsh.com Photo Gallery 2014-2015 Season Highlights you hold the key...continued from page 16 Office (CCSO) is launching a massive public safety campaign called “You Hold the Key.” Over the next several months, CCSO will be reminding the community about the importance of locking car doors. The message will be shared through colliersheriff.org, public service announcements on CCSO’s monthly “On Scene” television show, through social media and at Crime Prevention events. In addition, deputies will reinforce the message during one-onone encounters with members of the community. If motorists simply remove their valuables and lock their doors, the number of vehicle break-ins will go down, Sheriff Rambosk said. “We are asking the community to partner with us to keep Collier County safe,” Sheriff Rambosk said. “There is no doubt that when you lock your car, you are helping us prevent crime.” Vehicle break-ins are crimes of opportunity. Many thieves pull on door handles until www.pelicanmarsh.com they find an unlocked vehicle. Thieves also tend to look through vehicle windows to see if there are any valuables inside. That’s why CCSO recommends that motorists either remove valuables from their vehicle or stow them away out of view. LIVING IN & SERVING PELICAN BAY SINCE 1987 REPRESENTING THE FINEST PROPERTIES NEW LISITING Keep your vehicle safe • Remove all valuables or keep them out of sight. This is particularly important with GPS systems, laptops and iPods. Make sure to remove all base mounts, cords and chargers from view as well. • Remember to lock your doors even when your car is parked at home. That’s where most unlocked vehicle burglaries happen. • If your vehicle is broken into, report it to law enforcement, even if nothing significant was taken. The more information investigators have about these crimes, the more likely it is that they’ll be able to identify and stop the people committing them.
