The Happenings 11.11.22 by 541 Marketing

November 11 - November 25, 2022

The CSA Front Oﬃce Staff

With the opening of the new CSA Office, we thought it would be a good time to find out more about the three ladies in the front office, Donna Edinger, Carmella Galley and Sabrina Priske... and what their duties are. These ladies share a lot of responsibilities that are important to the successful management of The Great Outdoors. From bar codes for your car or RV to our Media Alert System and marketing, plus the organization of the Architectural Review Committee and Condo boards - it’s all in their hands to make it run smoothly. See page 27 for the story.

The Turkey Versus The Bald Eagle

Is it true? If Ben Franklin had his way, would we all be eating the American Bald Eagle for Thanksgiving? Would the Turkey be our national bird... plastered all over our money and as the mascot of our Great Seal of the United States? With Turkey Day under a couple weeks away we thought (well, Betty Salter thought) we should take a closer look to see if Ben’s turkey story was fact or fiction. Who could possibly imagine smothering your mashed potatoes and dressing with Bald Eagle gravy? For more on this controversy, see page 36.

Jay Mattioli - Still Time To Buy Tickets! Next Thursday, November 17

Jay Mattioli was one of the Quarter-finalists who stunned the judges on NBC’s #1 hit TV show AMERICA’S GOT TALENT. Jay’s unique style obliterates the past concept of what people expect from a magician. General admission tickets are still available at TGO Ticket & Gifts Shop for $15 each. Doors open at 7:00 pm - Show starts at 7:30.

Manager’s Corner November 11, 2022 100 D Plantation Drive • Titusville, FL 32780 • 321-268-9767

Dear TGO Community,

Today is Veterans Day. We have many veterans who live here at TGO. I wish to extend a special thank you to all our veterans for your service, bravery, and sacrifice for our country. On behalf of our CSA team, I am forever grateful that you served to maintain the freedom we enjoy today. It was great to see so many TGO residents visit our CSA office during the Open House last week. Those who attended also got to preview our new Jukebox Recreation Room. This amenity was opened on November 1 for your enjoyment. The room is located in the CSA Administration Building facing Eagle’s Pride Service, and is open and available for everyone from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, seven days a week. For after-hours access, a recreation key provides access to this room. Owners can acquire this key by seeing Cory Lucas in our Recreation Office in The Manor. This game room features two new poker tables, a billiard table, a ping-pong table, and an electronic dart board. Board member Barbara Yeager added special touches and themed decorations to the walls of the room. We welcome your feedback as we continue to adjust the room’s operation to make it enjoyable for our residents. Please enjoy this new amenity with friends and family. Moving the game tables into this room has opened up space in Hobbyland. The Buildings Committee will discuss the use of the Hobbyland space and make recommendations to the Board in the future. Have you visited the Blue Heron recently? Restaurant Manager Karan Begy and our Acting Chef Libby Teel have updated our menu for you. They removed some of the less-popular, spicy dishes, and they have brought back some of the popular and easy-toeat comfort foods. French Onion Soup has returned. Other favorites such as dusted shrimp, fried cheese sticks, and a taco salad are now available. You can check out the latest menu in this issue of The Happenings. Blue Heron is now taking reservations for a Thanksgiving Day Buffet. Please be sure to visit Blue Heron and support your restaurant. Each of you pays taxes to Brevard County. A portion of those taxes fund Solid Waste Management to pay for the routine pickup of your garbage, recycling and bulk items. CSA provides the service of bringing all trash and recycling to a central location in our community. Recently the county’s vendor, Waste Management, has been failing us. They are scheduled to haul our compactor three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They are scheduled to empty both our recycling bins twice per week, Tuesday and Friday. They have missed several of their Friday pick-ups recently, claiming “operational delays” as the reason. We were given no advance notice of these missed pickups. We work very hard to keep our trash area clean and organized. Now it’s time for Waste Management to do its job, too. After several attempts to discuss this directly with our Waste Management representative, I have contacted our District 1 County Commissioner to seek assistance. I will keep you posted on our progress, and I apologize on behalf of Waste Management’s inconsistencies and inconveniences. Just a reminder to all our residents. Election day was Tuesday. Per hour sign policy, the deadline is today to remove all campaign signs from your yard. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely,

Billy Specht CSA Manager

AED Basics (Automated External Defibrillator) Have Someone Call 9-1-1 While You Operate AED

The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that diagnoses incorrect heart rhythm patterns that could potentially be life threatening. The device treats the condition with electrical shocks. AED use requires minimal training because an electronic voice prompts the user through each step. If you are helping a person who collapsed and you’re unsure if a heart attack is the reason, don’t hesitate to use the AED. Every minute counts. The device determines if the patient needs an electrical shock or not. Simply place the AED pads on the patient’s bare skin, one on the right upper chest and the other on their lower left side. No one else should be touching the patient because false readings could result. The AED will advise you, the device operator, what to do next. TGO has seven AEDs located at CSA buildings.

Guide to Living With Alligators in TGO There are 32 Lakes in The Great Outdoors and all of them are home to alligators. Please keep these points in mind to be safe when alligators could be nearby: • It is illegal to feed, taunt or harass an alligator. • Do not swim or wade in any of our lakes. • Do not walk near the shorelines and do not walk your pets near shoreline. • Do not allow your pets to swim, exercise or drink in or near our lakes. • While alligators can be active at any time, they are most active between dusk and dawn and move during the night to different water sources. • Please give our alligators the respect and space they deserve. • For your safety, as well as the safety of your family and pets.

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE! If you have an issue with an alligator, please call: Sandy Juba at 321-543-0502 or Betty Salter at 321-223-8073 or Nancy Clark at 321-292-1434. These ladies are experienced in dealing with TGO wildlife.

Steve Solomon - Broadway Comedian - March 2, 2023

Steve has taken the art of impersonation, mimicry and honed it into a science. He masterfully weaves dialects and crazy characters into his stories. These tales take on a life of their own as Steve recounts memorable moments from his past and makes hysterical observations of the things we all relate to happening around us today! A native of Brooklyn, Steve grew up in the multi-ethnic neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. This was the perfect training ground for a dialectician. As the class clown and as a very authentic sounding Chinese restaurant delivery boy, Steve learned early how to use his gift for imitating accents to his advantage.

Based in New York, the show has played to sell-out shows in the city. B.B.

As a bonus, Crystal Stark will join the New York Bee Gees to perform a great “Donna Summer Tribute!”

The CSA Front Office - Meet Donna, Carmella & Sabrina With the opening of the new CSA Office, we thought it would be a good time to find out more about the three ladies in the front office and what their responsibilities are. Believe us when we say we could have filled up this entire issue with their stories and responsibilities. It took a lot of editing to get it down to just three pages. Read on and you’ll see how important their roles are in keeping The Great Outdoors’ wheels in motion. Donna Edinger

Donna, how long have you worked at TGO? This time, almost 13 years. I previously worked here from 1989-1996.

ple and let them know if their ARC application has been approved or disapproved. I am just the messenger, I don’t have a vote in approving or disapproving an application. Every October the process of Rules and Regulations for ARC starts. We have the Monday Planning Meeting and the Wednesday Action Meeting. We have our Guideline Review Meeting directly after those meetings for three to four sessions. At that point the committee has gone through the whole process one time, then they go back, tweak it and get it the way they want. They bring all that to me and I create a document that is in a strikeout version and that is sent out to the community. The board votes on it in February and then it goes on the website as the official guidelines.

Does it change a lot from year to year? It varies, most years it doesn’t. Mostly it’s just tweaking. People will point out where things might be in contradiction, so we strive to be consistent. Sometimes we need to add, sometimes we Do you live locally? need to delete. Sometimes there are new things.

At one point I Most people are very good about complying with the was full-time as beverage cart girl, bartender, server and helped with catering. I’ve worked my way through many ARC guidelines, but there are people who are surprised different positions. I’ve now been the ARC secretary for when they get in trouble for not getting approval. I’ll hear questions like, “You mean I have to ask for permission to 13 years. I took on various duties as needed then, when Connie put on a roof or paint my house?” Yes, you do. Anything Hudson took medical leave in 2015, I learned how to run that can be seen needs to be approved, this includes backyards. Backyards can be seen from the golf course the CSA front office.

I take all ARC applications, review them and make sure everything is filled out as it should be, report to the committee, take the minutes and make sure everything stays in order, maintain the files, and try to assist people as much as I can to make sure I can get their application through the first time. I call peo-

How can we do a better job getting this information out to the new owners? The guidelines are in the welcome packet. If I hear people asking about what to do, I always try to let them know I am available to take their questions. I don’t care how many questions they ask, I want them to get it right. Continued...

The CSA Front Office - Meet Donna, Carmella & Sabrina Every application that comes across my desk gets a phone call from me. If the application gets field approved, meaning a drive-by was done and the change was approved, they get called quickly. If it goes to the committee, be it approved or disapproved, they still get a phone call.

How long have you worked at TGO? November 9 was one year. I previously worked in the legal field. I am a licensed paralegal. I worked in family law and criminal law. When our firm closed after 25 years in law, I decided I wanted to do something different, so here I am. Where do you live? I live in Port St. John. I grew up in Orlando and have been here for about 33 years. I’ve been married 32 years. I’m an original Orlando girl. I remember when Orlando was an unknown tropical paradise.

I also gather all the renter information from owners who rent their properties. They fill out the forms we provide and I put that information into the system so when their renter arrives at the gate, their name is on the list and they will be given a pass into the park. Otherwise, if the owner of the property hasn’t furnished us the paperwork, the renter is left sitting at the gate while the gate attendant tries to contact the owner to get permission for that person to come in. If an owner has a friend coming for a visit or an extended stay, the owner needs to call CSA or come in and add that person’s name to their information so that visitor can get a paper pass from the front gate. Our guest passes and rental forms have an arrival and departure date and the computer will automatically deactivate the bar code on the departure date, so if someone is staying longer, the owner of the property needs to let us know so we can extend the renter’s stay in the computer. We work closely with the gate and the mail center to make sure we always have an updated guest list of who’s in the park.

How did you find your way to TGO? I thought I wanted to stay home after working 25 years, but soon decided I needed more to do. I only knew The Great Outdoors as a place my husband liked to play golf. I didn’t even know what was out here. I saw a job offer on Indeed. When I If an owner has a contractor do work on their house, came here, I met with Carmella and Sharon and learned it’s a good idea for the owner to call me and let me about The Great Outdoors. I quickly decided that I really know that XYZ Company is coming... wanted to work here. I mean, where else can you work where you pull into the driveway and three deer run across How do you handle the contractors and golf or restaurant the lawn or a Sandhill Crane family just comes walking by? visitors? If an owner has a contractor coming to do work on This is an awesome place. their house, it’s a good idea for the owner to call me and Tell us about your responsibilities?

I handle the barcodes for all the cars. We handle these by appointment only, Monday through Thursday, and I also take RV reservations for Carmella to handle on Friday, where she goes out to the RV sites. Also... If you get a new vehicle, you should always call the CSA office to make an appointment to get a new bar code. After we place the barcode on the vehicle, I then input the information (make, model, year and contact information) into our computer system.

What’s In A Number - Life or Death!

by Ed Brown

The specific number in this case would be your house number: your residence. What is in or at that number? The answer is, of course: your home and its contents, your vehicle(s), YOUR LIFE! Fire department responders will be looking for black smoke from a house fire that has “vented” through the roof but what about a home fire at a less dramatic, earlier stage, restricted to the sofa, or kitchen, or storage shed? Suppose the response is for EMS or Police! They are all responding with your house number as an absolute guide to a timely arrival. Is your house number still attached to your home or did it blow away in the recent hurricane? Is the number that is painted on the driveway dirty, discolored and unreadable? A survey conducted in October checked home numbers on Plantation Drive. Thirty-two properties were found to have numbers on driveways that were missing, incorrect, faded, dirty or otherwise not visible! Park Manager Billy Specht suggested that the CSA Office “will dispatch our crew to repaint address numbers on driveways. Simply call us for a work order. Please know that we only use white paint, so if your driveway is treated, or you would prefer another color or design, then please seek other options. We are happy to loan stencils to those who need them for their numbers.” Riddle Answer: Paint

Did Ben Franklin Really Want To Use The Turkey As Our National Bird? Did Benjamin Franklin really suggest that the Wild Turkey should be on the seal of our new nation? I have puzzled over this for some time, not that I went digging deep in a library somewhere. Google can be so informative. GTS (Google That Stuff), then double check other references… The Franklin Institute, History.com, Smithsonian Magazine etc. Why do we believe he wanted the Wild Turkey to represent our nation? Here is what I found on Live Science, an excerpt from a letter he supposedly wrote to his daughter… “For my own part I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead tree, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the labour of the fishing hawk; and when that diligent bird has at length taken a fish, and is bearing it to his nest for the support of his mate and young ones, the bald eagle pursues him, and takes it from him... the turkey is, in comparison, a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America.” Benjamin Franklin did work with the committee to design a seal for this great nation, but his choice did not have a bird of any kind on it. More to the point, why did he think to compare the eagle to the turkey? Perhaps I am getting things out of order. Our national seal was designed and accepted before he wrote this letter. In fact, he had used it on some of his publications. A group had formed, open only to male descendants of the Revolutionary War officers, as well as to French officers who fought for America’s independence, and their male children through the generations. Now Franklin, being a strong advocate of the common man, was not very fond of this group. The Society of the Cincinnati had on their seal the Bald Eagle. It is believed this 36

is the group he aimed his satire towards. With this in mind, let’s look at Ben as he is considering a way to surreptitiously poke fun at them. There he sat with quill in hand, contemplating this seal of an organization he did not respect. Ah yes, the quill in his hand, it came from the left wing of a turkey. Now how did I know that? The rich or more privileged would have used a goose or swan quill. And Benjamin Franklin is Poor Richard. The most common quills came from wild turkeys, the primary flight feathers to be specific. They curve just a bit and if you were right-handed, which was very common, you wanted the feathers from the right wing, and because they are more in demand, they are higher priced. But Ben was left-handed, thus he sought the feathers from the left wing. Now, where else have we heard those terms, ‘left wing’ or ‘right wing?’ The turkey provided Ben Franklin with a writing instrument and inspiration. For us he is the centerpiece of a great day filled with lots of good food. - Betty Salter -

How the American Bald Eagle Became Our National Bird And Almost Disappeared The bald eagle’s role as a national symbol is linked to its 1782 landing on the Great Seal of the United States. Shortly after the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress gave Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams the job of designing an official seal for the new nation. However, the three Founding Fathers failed to come up with a design that won Congress’ approval, as did two later committees that were given the task. In mid-June 1782, the work of all three committees was handed over to Charles Thomson, the secretary of Congress. Thomson chose what he thought were the best elements of the various designs and made the eagle - which had been introduced by artistically inclined Pennsylvania lawyer William Barton in a design submitted by the third committee -more prominent. Just FYI... Since ancient times, the eagle has been considered a sign of strength; Roman legions used the bird as their standard, or symbol. Bald Eagle Replaces White Eagle Thomson also recommended that the small, white eagle used in Barton’s design be replaced with an American Bald Eagle, and Congress adopted this design on June 20, 1782. (Contrary to legend, there’s no evidence Ben Franklin protested to Congress about the choice of the bald eagle and lobbied for the turkey, although in a 1784 letter to his daughter he did label the bald eagle “a bird of bad moral character.”) As the design went on to appear on official documents, currency, flags, public buildings and other government-related items, the bald eagle became an American icon.

Bald Eagle Faced Extinction Despite its symbolic significance, America’s majestic national bird has faced a real-life threat of extinction. In the late-1800s, the country was home to 100,000 nesting bald eagles, but the number of birds soon dwindled due to such factors as habitat destruction and hunting. In 1940, Congress passed the Bald Eagle Protection Act, making it illegal to possess, kill or sell the birds. A new new threat arose when they began eating prey contaminated with DDT, a pesticide that came into wide use following World War II. In the 1960s, there were only around 400 breeding pairs left in the continental U.S., and in 1978 the bald eagle was put on the endangered species list. Thanks to federal protections as well as regulations involving DDT, in 1995 the bald eagle population had recovered enough for the bird’s status to be changed from endangered to threatened, and in 2007 it was removed completely from the list. - History.com -

Your TGO CSA Patrol Where does the speed limit change near speed limit signs? Question: When the speed limit is changing on a road, does the new speed limit start at the sign, or does it start when you can see the sign? Answer: The speed limit zone area becomes effective at the point you reach the sign. So if the speed limit sign/ zone changes to a slower speed, slow down before the sign and not after. If the speed limit changes to a higher speed, wait until you get to the increased speed limit sign before increasing your speed.

WHEN EXACTLY DOES A SPEED LIMIT COME INTO EFFECT?

On paper, speed limits sound like a pretty simple idea. Legislators and experts agree upon a given speed at which it’s deemed safe to travel through an area and then let the SPEED public know by clearly signposting it. But a question we’ve received numerous times LIMIT over the years is when exactly does a speed limit legally come into effect? Here now is the answer. Any sign posted speed limit comes into effect at the exact point the sign resides. In other words, if you’re driving at 30 MPH through a 30 MPH zone and you’re about to enter a zone that allows you to drive at 50MPH, it is technically illegal to begin accelerating beyond 30 MPH until you’ve reached the sign indicating the higher speed limit. Contrary to what people may try to tell you, by the letter of the law there is no “buffer” or grace period near a speed limit sign, which is why you’ll notice that when the speed decreases drastically, you may see a helpful warning sign telling you this before the actual speed limit sign so you’re not having to suddenly slam on the brakes to get down to the posted limit before you reach the sign.

While it is certainly true that a police officer pulling you over in such a “buffer” scenario could be lenient and decide to just let you off with a warning, that’s entirely down to their own discretion and it doesn’t change that legally you’ve broken the law.

What your neighbors are saying... “Tom and Shelley are experts in the hearing field. they know what they are talking about and back up what they sell. Good product, excellent service, highly recommended.” – PS “My wife and I visited Contentment Hearing Care because of recommendations by others in our community. The facility environment was friendly, convenient, and inviting. Tom Contento, explained about hearing loss and why something should be done to improve hearing to prevent or lessen some of the side effects of continuing hearing impairment. A series of tests were performed to determine the nature and types of hearing loss and the results were thoroughly explained to us in layman's terms, which made it very easy to understand and to make decisions. We are extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend Contentment Hearing Care to others.” — GJ

TGO Owner Since 1999

The CSA Halloween Open House The CSA Halloween Open House was a big success. The newly renovated CSA Office and the Juke Box Rec Room were open to all residents of TGO to take a tour on Halloween day. About 250 people showed up to enjoy some treats and check out the new facilities. There was also a pumpkin carving contest won by Roger and Gail Stairs - prize was a $50 certificate to the Blue Heron. The CSA Staff dressed in costume and greeted the guests. Top to bottom: Yes... that is the head of CSA Patrol, Tony Del Monte, wearing his Grateful Dead outfit. Ken and Jo-Anne Buckley were inspecting the digs. Sabrina Priske dressed as Little Red Riding Hood. Billy Specht was channeling his rocker persona. Tom Wheir IS a true Seahawks fan. Roger Stairs and his sister, Lori Ball, enjoyed the cookie treats. Sheryl Heath obviously voted for pumpkin number 1.
