Setting record highs in all areas
By Bill Sawers, Foundation President
As the 2015 season
comes to an end, it is
time to look back at the
highlights of the past
several months. 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.
Have safe travels home and
we look forward to seeing
your smiling faces again in
the fall!

What an amazing season here at The Marsh!
By Diana Pleeter, Foundation General Manager
By the time you read this article, you will be looking forward
to next year. The offerings at
the Community Center and the
fitness and tennis facilities have
increased each year and we have
had much more participation by
residents. It is hard to believe
that I have been here almost
four years and have seen so
many great enhancements and
changes to our facility. I have
enjoyed working with the Board
of Directors and want to send
my best regards to the one “retiring” member: Rich Spiwak.
I look forward to working with
the two returning and one new
member of the Board— Bill
Sawers, Barry Weisler and Don
Kluthe—who were seated as
Directors on March 26.
THANK YOU to our fulltime staff of: Daphne, Tracy,
Tom, Rebecca, Lynn, Patrick,
Pete, Johann and Mark, along
with our newest addition, Roz.
We also have a terrific parttime staff: Barb, Bev, CJ, Hal,
Kate, Martha, Pat and Terry.
I am grateful to have an outstanding staff! Everyone has
done a wonderful job making
sure all residents enjoy their
time while they are residing in
Pelican Marsh.
We love seeing all of you who
are permanent residents and
look forward to seeing the rest
of you upon your return to The
Marsh next season!

staff whose commitment, long
hours and dedication to their
jobs is the reason that our program and facility are flourishing. Finally, I want to thank
all of our tennis-playing residents in Pelican Marsh for their
support, enthusiasm for the
game, wonderful volunteerism,
kindness and friendliness. We
are truly blessed with a whole
bunch of super-nice people here
in Pelican Marsh and it has been

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

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. The pot luck dinner will
be open to all, and is always a
big hit with our residents, and

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!

Pelican Marsh’s Tennis Club Championships–2015
By Pete Minarich, Director of Tennis
With a new format in place,
and great crowds of spectator
support, we set a new record
with participation in this year’s
Club Championships. 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.
Here are the results from this
year’s tournament:

OUR FITNESS FACILITY
Maintain your fitness this summer
By Patrick Webb, Director of Fitness
What an active winter season
this has been in the Pelican
Marsh Fitness Center. 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.

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

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.

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.

available, the muscles are then
forced to rely on fat for energy.
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.
Remember, all workouts
should include a warm-up and
a cool-down.

effective, safe workouts, consult with one of our certified
personal trainers.

Food and exercise for your health
By Patrick Webb, Director of Fitness
Eat within 30 to 60
minutes after exercise
If you’ve had a particularly
tough workout, try to eat a “recovery” meal as soon as possible. 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.

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.

The happiness factor
By Patrick Webb, Director of Fitness

(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. Or while in your
car, adjust the rearview and side
mirrors so that you can see into
them properly only when you
are seated with good posture
(your head should be touching
the head rest). These strategies
make it more likely that you will
find yourself in a better position,
rather than having to think about
putting yourself there.

COMMUNITY CENTER / 594-7800
How much water
do you need?
“Dietary Reference Intake”
for water was published in
February of 2004 by the Institute of Medicine. They explain
that drinking fluids represents
about 81 percent of total water intake (19 percent being
provided by food). Its recommendation for fluid intake is
101.4 fluid ounces or 13 cups
for men; women are advised to

Water and exercise
The American College of Sports
Medicine recently released
its newest Position Stand of
exercise and fluid replacement.
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.

Thieves are targeting unlocked vehicles more than ever
in Collier County, and Sheriff
Kevin J. Rambosk is calling

Seventy-six percent of the

to unlocked cars.

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.

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.

contribute, we’d love to include yours. Simply send your letter to us at dunsinn@
