The Happenings 4/4/25

MANAGER’S CORNER

Dear TGO Residents,

Mother Nature delivered some nice Spring showers early this week, followed by a week of warm afternoon temperatures in the high 80s and low 90s. As it warms up here in Florida, many of our seasonal residents preparing for their northern migration. The CSA team wishes safe travels to those who are departing TGO. We hope you have a wonderful summer season and we look forward to your return in the fall. Please update your emergency contact and ‘house watch” information at the CSA office if something has changed. If you are staying with us through the summer season, you will see us gear-up to begin our summer improvement projects as traffic slows down in our community.

Our TGO Golf leagues are coming to a close for the season. This issue of The Happenings features many photos of our outstanding TGO golfers who participated in our leagues. I look forward to seeing these leagues begin again next Fall.

Last week I had the pleasure of serving as ‘crowd manager’ for the last concert of this season, called “Chicago Rewind”. The band was super fun and talented, and the entire production was excellent. The lights, sound and organization of the show was impressive, especially because every part of the show was led by TGO volunteers. I wish to thank the Activities Committee for all their volunteer efforts to make these productions, and so many other events, so amazing every season.

Last week we received a $13,305 dividend check from our Workers Compensation company. This money was returned to the CSA because during our previous coverage period our CSA team worked safer than average or predicted. Our scope of work is complex and can be dangerous, so this dividend is a big deal and certainly worthy of some bragging about our CSA team’s hard work regarding safety. It makes me so happy as your manager to know that we’ve worked hard to establish a healthy work culture built on ‘Safety First’.

Also regarding of our CSA team, I’m proud to share some employee development news with you. Jordan Bullard completed his Wastewater Class ‘C’ Certification last week. He is now our 2nd certified Wastewater Operator. Jordan began working at The Great Outdoors on our lawn crew 22 years ago, and I’ve seen him grow into a very skilled professional through several roles here at TGO. We’re proud of Jordan for earning this license and building our bench strength in wastewater operations.

It’s important to remind you that it’s Springtime and our wildlife are very active and moving around, especially our alligators. Please remember to keep your distance from wildlife, be careful around all of our waterways, and most importantly, do not attempt to touch or feed our wildlife. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission has a ton of information on their website regarding alligators and how to live peacefully and safely around them.

Here’s the website link, I hope you’ll check it out: https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/wildlife/alligator/.

Sincerely,

CSA Manager

FROM THE EDITOR

With this issue of The Happenings, I’ve officially reached my 24th edition— completing a full year as editor! Looking back, it’s been a busy, rewarding, and sometimes whirlwind experience, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. This particular issue is packed with content, a testament to the vibrant, active community here at The Great Outdoors.

I’ve been especially fortunate to have help from some fantastic contributors this issue. Linda Day provided in-depth coverage of the Nature Center, and our previous editor, Tim Clark, took on the heavy lifting when it came to capturing golf events—sorting through scores of photos and assisting with captions and text. Their efforts made this issue possible, and I’m incredibly grateful.

Most of all, I appreciate how welcoming and supportive everyone has been over the past year. Whether it’s sharing stories, offering photos, or simply providing encouragement, this community has made my job a joy. I look forward to another year of bringing The Happenings to life and keeping everyone connected to the unique place that you all call home.

Golf Carts in TGO: Slow Down & Make Those Stops

As you all know there are many golf carts here in TGO and they are always zipping around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, serious golf cart injuries are on the rise to the tune of approximately 13,000 per year requiring emergency room visits. Luckily, here in TGO, we haven’t had many serious mishaps and we hope this good record continues. Please don’t be a statistic; stop at stop signs, control your speed, and do not turn corners at high speeds.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION & NOTICES

Emergency Vehicle Protocol

Florida and TGO share the same vehicle and traffic laws as the rest of the US: Everyone must yield to emergency vehicles. If there’s no shoulder on the road, simply stop to allow an emergency vehicle to pass. We have all been driving long enough to know this. Please, when you see emergency vehicles coming in with lights flashing, pull over and let them pass! It could be your loved ones they are here for.

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 eight AEDs located at CSA buildings.

1. Blue Heron - Outside Ramp 137 Plantation Drive

2. CSA Office - Outside 100-D Plantation Drive

3. Fitness Center 145 Plantation Drive

4. Hidden Lakes Clubhouse 461 Ambleside Drive

5. Library Kitchen 385 Plantation Drive

6. Oak Cove Pool Bathhouse 434 Oak Cove Road

7. Plantation Manor 145 Plantation Drive

COMMUNITY INFORMATION & NOTICES

CSA Trash Pick Up Rules

The CSA crew picks up household trash 364 days of the year (off for Christmas). You’ll see them in a big truck pulling one or more green hoppers behind it. The guy crouching on the hopper grabs your trash bag as they pass by. To make the process efficient, please follow these rules:

• Trash must be placed in plastic bags that are tied closed. Lightweight bags should be tied together. Trash that is not in plastic bags may not be picked up.

• Break down all boxes and put all packing material in a closed bag.

• Place trash within one foot of the road so that it’s within easy reach.

• Dispose of your pet’s waste inside the closed trash bag.

• Put trash out at the curb by 10:00 am - Pick-up time varies within the park.

• Do not mix household trash with organic yard debris or construction materials.

• Do not put trash out at night because by morning it will have been scattered by wild animals.

Please do not allow pets to urinate on trash or debris.

The crew has to pick this up!

• Also be aware that if you place your trash out on the street too early, the vultures think you have prepared them a sack lunch!

CSA Yard Debris Pick-Up Rules

The CSA crew picks up organic yard debris at least once per week. Tree trimmings should be cut down to a maximum of 4 feet long, weigh less than 50 pounds, and be stacked uniformly at the curb. Loose material such as pine needles, leaves and small twigs must be collected in untied plastic bags or open containers. The CSA will not pick up sod, dirt, tree stumps, construction material (e.g., concrete, wood, drywall, metal), chemicals (e.g., paint, oil), major appliances, or tires. DO NOT bring these items to the CSA Maintenance Yard yourself. They may be dropped off, without charge, at the Brevard County Mockingbird Mulching Facility (321-264-5009) on South Street (SR405). Go past the Lowes SR405 entrance then turn LEFT at the first traffic signal. Most other waste items such as carpet, porcelain plumbing fixtures, etc., that are not mentioned above can be dropped off at the Brevard County Transfer Station (321-264-5048) that is also on South Street (SR405), but 0.5 mile past Lowes on the same side of the street.

Clearing Vegetation on CSA Property

Our Declaration of Covenants states that “No CSA land may be cleared of any vegetation without prior written permission from the Board of Directors or its designee. Unauthorized clearing of CSA property will result in a hearing, with possible fines and ordered replanting.” This only makes sense, as you would not cut vegetation on someone else’s property without permission first. In order to track this better, we will require anyone seeking permission to cut vegetation on CSA property to fill out an ARC permit. An approved permit must include the CSA manager’s signature, and a copy of the permit will be filed in your ARC file for documentation purposes.

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 the 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.

NOTE: If you come across an aggressive alligator, please contact the CSA Office prior to SNAP and allow us to handle any situation.

12 Month Lease @ $250.00 (10’ x 10’ with no security deposit)

SPRING CUP 2025

Each year, participating TGO golfers are divided into two teams based on their handicaps, competing in this spirited two-day event. This year, the teams were the Cliff Hangers, led by Captain Cliff Murray, and the Rough Rider s, captained by Roy Brown.

After two days of play, the Rough Riders emerged victorious with a score of 75 to 69. As a reward, the winning team enjoyed a ribeye steak dinner inside the Blue Heron, while the runners-up dined on hot dogs out on the patio.

Chuck Kandt is always onsite helping to explain the rules - and cheering on both teams.

The Rough Riders Team played a come from behind tournament to take the win 75 to 69.

Shane Willey was also on the Cliff Hangers and took the honor of serving Chuck Kandt his winning steak dinner. Both Shane and Chuck are instrumental in making this event come together each year.

The Cliff Hanger team captain, Cliff Murray, served the Rough Rider’s team captain, Roy Brown the first rib eye steak.

DON’T GET BURNED!

Burns have long been recognized as one of the most painful and devastating injuries a person can sustain and survive. Statistics show that every 25 seconds in the United States, a person is either burned or scalded. Tragically, children and the elderly often suffer more severe burns at lower temperatures because they have thinner skin.

Scalding injuries are the leading cause of burn-related emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Scalds are burns from hot liquid or steam and they most commonly occur in the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. One of the most common causes of burns in the home, and thankfully one of the most easily prevented, is a scalding burn from tap water that is too hot. The best way to prevent these burns is to set your home water heater to a temperature not over 120°F. Tap water that is too hot is associated with more deaths and hospitalizations than any other hot liquid burns.

Follow these simple safety tips around the house to keep your family and yourself safe from devastating burn and scalding injuries:

• Use spill-resistant mugs when drinking hot liquids.

• When cooking, use back burners and keep pot handles turned towards the back of the stove.

• Place a rubber mat in front of your stove to prevent slipping and falling.

• Test and stir all food before serving to make sure it is cool enough to eat.

• If you are in a wheelchair: When moving hot liquids, place a large sturdy tray with a solid raised border in your lap to decrease the risk of lap burns if anything should spill.

• Avoid using tablecloths or anything that can be pulled on to cause hot food to spill.

• Always test the bath or shower water with your hand before getting in to bathe. Make only small and gradual water temperature adjustments if you are already under the running water.

The immediate First Aid for all burns is to stop the burning. Remove the patient from the heat source or the heat source from the patient. STOP, DROP, AND ROLL the patient to smother visible flames. Don’t get burned yourself! Remove constrictive clothing in the burn area immediately (jewelry, belt, etc.) Burns can swell quickly. Cut around clothing that is stuck to the burn. Cool down the burned area to prevent further cooking! Cover the burned area with a cool damp dressing. Pain medications: Tylenol or Ibuprofen may help. If the face and eyes are burned, sit the patient up to reduce swelling. Don’t burst blisters!

Be Firewise, Be Safe!

Medical Aid: Full-thickness burns and partial-thickness burns will require professional medical attention. Call 911 and use Fire/Rescue for patient stabilization and transport. Medical Treatment will involve physical therapy and may require skin grafts. That said, isn’t it best to stay alert to burn hazards and burn avoidance? You Bet!

The Nature Center at TGO celebrates GOPHER TORTOISE DAY with TGO NatureScape at TORTOISEVILLE (accessible on the Doggie Walk)

Gopher Tortoise Day has been established by the State of Florida to recognize these amazing reptiles and their importance in the ecosystem. Gopher tortoises are a keystone species, since over 350 other species utilize their long, underground burrows for shelter and protection. They are classified as Threatened by the State, primarily due to habitat loss, and we are lucky to have them living here at TGO.

Thursday April 10 3 to 6 p.m.

TGO NatureScape and its team of volunteers and supporting partners have been working to improve the wildlife habitat at Tortoiseville, adjacent to the Doggie Walk Cart Path just north of Baytree Drive. Come out anytime between 3pm - 6pm to learn about Florida’s only native tortoise and our Habitat Restoration Project.

There will be a tent and knowledgeable experts will be on hand to tell you everything you need to know! Also find out how you can volunteer to help with the effort or provide financial support. We will have displays and handouts, and you might be able to see a gopher tortoise up close!

Grateful Moments on the Courts: Reflecting on a Fantastic Pickleball Season

by Richard Chartrand

As the end of this Pickleball season approaches, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the many grateful moments we’ve shared on the courts since November.

Each year, it’s clear that the number of players of all skill levels continues to grow, and interest in this wonderful sport at TGO—and beyond—is skyrocketing.

First, a huge thank you to our Pickleball Committee and the entire Pickleball community for all of your support this season. The open play, new nets, and equipment were greatly appreciated, and the improvements made to open play truly enhanced our experience on the courts. I’d also like to extend my gratitude to TGO for their continued support in maintaining our pickleball courts and equipment, ensuring we have the best possible facilities to enjoy the game.

A special thanks to my friend and pickleball partner Rich Close , whose enthusiasm and energy have been contagious throughout the season. Rich did an incredible job organizing the skinny singles tournament and the ladder league , which saw over 35 players competing weekly at all levels—what a fantastic achievement. I’d also like to thank him for all his help coaching and drilling with many of us this season. Your dedication has made a huge impact!

I’m also grateful for all my friends who braved the early morning games with me, even when temperatures were chilly last January. To all my partners on the courts and in the various tournaments I participated in across Florida this winter, it’s been amazing to see so many players improve and find success in different categories.

There have been some fantastic success stories from TGO Pickleball players in recent tournaments! In the Big Love Tournament in Melbourne, we saw Pasqualé Nadon and Jen Lopata win in 3.5 mixed doubles, and Mike Miner and I also won the 3.5 men’s doubles, Rich Close and Pasqualé Nadon also played in the 3.5 men’s doules. Bob Defrancesco and Troy Albert finished 4th in their category, and I must say, TGO was incredibly well represented!

Another standout success was Steve Kelso, who has won multiple tournaments this year, including the Pictona event last weekend, where he and his partner Linda Smith earned a silver medal in the 4.5 level. And, if that wasn’t exciting

enough, one of their opponents was none other than Ivan Lendl! Rich Close also won his first tournament at the 3.5 level with me in Pictona, earning a silver medal.

Finally, Jen Lopata and I won a bronze medal in 3.5 mixed doubles, competing against 10 other teams—what an accomplishment! There’s so much talent here at TGO, and it’s been a privilege again this year playing here.

As many snowbirds start heading back home, I want to once again thank everyone for such a fantastic season. I’ll leave you with a few pictures to remember these great times, and I’d like to wish everyone safe travels as we look forward to next season!

BETTY SALTER TAKES THE HELM AS NATURE

The Nature Center at The Great Outdoors is pleased to announce Betty Salter as the center’s new president. Betty brings a wealth of knowledge, personal contacts and experience to the Nature Center, with an impressive background in education, wildlife knowledge, and groundbreaking work at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. Here at TGO she dedicates tireless work as a TGO Wildlife Rescue and Nature Center Trail Guide, and spent years rescuing wildlife at TGO and the surrounding area. She has also led the Nature Center Trail hikes every Monday and Wednesday during “the season” for over 10 years.

A DEDICATED VOLUNTEER

Betty’s career began in education, where she was with the school board and an exceptional education teacher assistant. In 1999 she began working for Parks and Recreation, North Area Parks Operation Office, where she initiated many innovative programs. She and her late husband Cary retired in February 2008.

Betty has devoted over 7,000 hours of volunteer time to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. A friend at the refuge encouraged her to consider living in TGO. Betty and Cary moved to The Great Outdoors in October of 2014, and immediately became immersed with The Nature Center. Betty had known Sandy Juba for some time, as Sandy volunteered at the refuge as well. Their great friendship and desire to rescue and teach others about wildlife and nature took off from there.

Betty jokes that one of the first steps to get involved with wildlife rescue, at Sandy’s insistence, was to overcome her fear of snakes. After researching snakes for many months and creating brochures about them, she overcame her fears, and has frequently rescued many of them! She also became very active with Firewise. Betty initiated the Spring Festival at the Nature Center. She previously developed large festivals for the county and wanted to develop a smaller festival here. Sandy Juba gave Betty a list of local vendors to contact, and the annual festival was launched, continues to grow and become a fund raiser for the center.

NATIVE FLORA AND FAUNA

Betty’s nature expertise includes extensive studies of native Florida plants and insects. One of her many butterfly studies led to the discovery of new species not known to our area. (The Variegated Fritillary was not known to be in Brevard County and the Eastern Pygmy Blue was not expected to be west of I-95 but we have it in the marsh here!) Betty’s goals are to develop programs to get more people involved with the nature center’s hikes, displays and talks.

PLANS

FOR THE NATURE CENTER

Ideas she plans to implement include nature golf cart tours in the community, Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival bird

CENTER PRESIDENT

tours, and to re-introduce golf cart tours of the Blue Heron Water Treatment Plant. Betty realizes many of our TGO residents work during the week, and she hopes to have Saturday morning hikes and more weekend programs.

A true life-learner, Betty’s passion is to share the joy of nature with others, whether it’s knowledge of plants, wildlife, wildlife rescue and preservation, or simply the general love of being outdoors.

Photo was taken immediately after Betty rescued this fawn from drowning. The fawn was reunited with its mother shortly after. (Note: Betty says one should never touch a fawn - she was holding this one as it was just rescued from the water.)

CELEBRATE GOPHER TORTOISE DAY!

The Nature Center at TGO will celebrate Gopher Tortoise Day with TGO NatureScape at Tortoiseville (accessible on the Doggie Walk) on Thursday, April 10 from 3 to 6 p.m.

Last year the tortoises were very active! We will have a tent with information where you can learn all about this keystone species - one of the oldest living species on the planet!

GUIDED TRAIL HIKES / LIGHT TRAIL MAINTENANCE

The end of March wraps up our busy season at TGO. There will be fewer scheduled trail activities, however feel free to contact Brian and he’ll be happy to take anyone for a hike. The trails are in great shape and the dry season helps immensely with mosquitos so it’s a great time of year for hikes!

May 27 is the average start to our rainy season in Florida, so the St. Johns river is very low now, opening up lots of nearby hiking and mountain biking!

To volunteer, for questions, or for more information, contact Brian Grande at 407-766-7867 or SkinDvr2000@yahoo.com.

TGO POSSUM RESCUE EFFORT

Special thanks to Nancy Clark and Sandy Juba (Animal Rescue Committee) for their help March 19 & 20. After a concert at the Manor, Donna Pittman came upon an injured opossum who sadly was left for dead in the road. The opossum was bleeding and struggling. Donna called Nancy, who quickly came to its rescue.  Nancy gave the sweet possum

Nature Center Board

comfort overnight, and the next day Sandy took it to a rehabber in Christmas. The rehabber discovered the female possum had a broken jaw, with injured babies in its pouch. Sadly, the mother had to be euthanized and two babies are clinging to life. We are heartbroken about the outcome for this sweet family of opossums, but grateful for compassionate people among us who gave comfort and tried to help.

Thank you Nancy, Sandy and Donna.

IT’S A (RESCUED) DOGS LIFE

TGO RESIDENT AND DOG LOVER JUDY GIBSON IS FOSTERING HER 50TH DOG… AND COUNTING.

Providing a soft spot to land for these sweet canines when they’ve lost their home.

Judy Gibson has always loved dogs. In the Fall of 2019, she was looking for a way to get exercise and give back to the community, so she went to the SPCA. Her initial plan was to be a Bark Buddy. (After taking a training class, a Bark Buddy goes to the shelter and walks the dogs.) This was okay, but Judy wanted to give more to help the dogs. Both she and her late husband Jim were excited about fostering. She filled out an application, took some classes at the Titusville SPCA, then was thrilled to get their first foster - a sweet chihuahua they named Bambi.

Judy has kept a photo album of the many dogs she has fostered. Most breeds of dogs she receives are normally mixed. Because they are usually small, they are often a terrier mix or chihuahua mix. She’s fostered mother/daughter pairs and several other pairs the SPCA did not want to separate.

To those interested in fostering, Judy says “If you love dogs it’s a wonderful way to spend time with them. Its also cost effective - there are no vet bills. And I love the variety of dogs they send me. I fall in love with every dog. If I was living here full time, I would adopt… and continue to foster! It’s so rewarding and fun to help out a little guy who needs a soft spot to land when they’ve lost their home.” She also adds that the Titusville SPCA is a wonderful organization to work with - the staff is totally devoted to the animals.

Judy says “The SPCA provides foster homes with any food, equipment, beds, medical care needed by the animals. The foster

by Linda Day

parent provides the love and transports the dog to medical appointments as requested. Cats are available for fostering as well as dogs.”

And how many are here in TGO?!

Judy has placed eight dogs in the TGO community. She posts them on FaceBook if they are especially nice, but adds that nearly all of her fosters are darlings!

Judy heads to Canada during the summer and also fosters there as well.

In Canada she is a foster mom for Texas Chihuahua Rescue/Canada who partner with Texas Chihuahua Rescue near San Antonio. As there are too few adoptive homes in Texas and too few adoptable dogs in Canada, TCR transports vanloads of up to 35 dogs a month to Canada to be adopted or fostered. TCR Canada coordinates the homes receiving the foster dogs and holds events to promote their adoption.

Some of Judy’s more memorable fosters and rescues. Judy recalls “One very memorable foster had epilepsy. His eyes would glaze and you could see him going into a seizure.” She thought seriously about adopting him, however a nurse and former TGO resident knew she could manage the seizures and adopted him. They have been together for four years, and Judy says happily, “That was a nice match.”

She once had an older dog who had heart problems. After she was with Judy for a time, it was determined she couldn’t be adopted and needed to go to Hospice Care. There are foster parents who actually take in dogs to give them loving care in their final days until they pass away. This hospice foster home had many dogs in their care. SPCA provides food and maintenance for these dogs as they live their final days with love and respect.

She once had a pair of Japanese Chins. A woman had daughters aged one and three years, and she was looking for dogs for her girls. Each time she got to the shelter, she found the dogs she wanted were already adopted. They finally were able to adopt Judy’s two Japanese Chins. She said, “The back of the car was filled with pink blankets, pink beds and all kinds of little toys. The dogs and girls were so sweet.”

She remembers one case where there were 8 Shitzus used as backyard breeders. They were dropped off at night, which was recorded via video surveillance. Judy sadly remembers “The poor dogs were matted and filthy - one couldn’t tell the back from front of the animal. One was so badly matted the circulation in the leg was cut off and they had to remove the leg. They named the dogs after Sesame Street characters - Bert, Ernie, etc. The dogs were cleaned up and they all went to homes and are all doing well.”

Judy and her first foster - a chihuahua she and her husband Jim named Bambi.

Above photo - little Salty is Judy’s 50th foster! She just found her forever home and will be adopted in a few days!

Unadoptable dogs, or those with with special needs are still respected and loved through the SPCA.

“Most staff with an office have an “office dog” who lives in their office rather than a kennel”, said Judy. “There are many reasons why dogs become office dogs. Some that needed special attention included one who was rescued from and traumatized by being in a dog fighting ring, an elderly gentleman who needed peace and quiet, one who needed extra socialization, and one who was hard to handle and needed time with the trainer.”

Get Involved in the Borrowed Buddy Program!

The Borrowed Buddy program is an SPCA program where you can take a dog out of the shelter to give them a break for the day. You can play with them, take them on golf cart rides, treat them to some fun, then take them back at the end of the day.

Above photo - Mandy! Judy explains, “Mandy was actually a Borrowed Buddy this Christmas! When my daughter and family visited at Christmas my granddaughter was disappointed that the last foster was adopted just before they arrived. We decided to get a Borrowed Buddy from SPCA! The Borrowed Buddy program is an arrangement by which you can talk to a staff about which dog needs a break and what you feel you can handle. You borrow a dog for the day to let them out of the shelter for some fun and socialization.  We borrowed Mandy and had golf cart rides, walks - she supervised shuffleboard and pickleball, got lots of fresh air, and returned to that shelter a very tired girl.  Mandy had been in the shelter for many months but has since been adopted!  I posted about our day on the SPCA Foster Connection Facebook page and love to think that might have helped her get adopted.  If someone would enjoy some doggy-style companionship but didn’t want a big commitment, having a Borrowed Buddy might be the ticket.  At Christmas there is another program called Home for the Holidays that extends over the number of days you choose.  It gives the dogs a break and lightens staff’s load so they can also enjoy a little more time at home for the holidays.”

How can you help?

Birthday donations to the SPCA are always welcome. On your birthday, ask that donations be made to the SPCA instead of a gift, or collect items for them. There’s a wish list posted on their website. Amazon regularly delivers to the shelter. And please donate and purchase things from the Titusville SPCA store, as it is an important revenue stream for them.

So you want to be a Foster or Bark Buddy, or Borrowed Buddy like Judy!?

Judy welcomes anyone to feel free to contact her about her fostering experience and to answer any questions you might have. The SPCA front desk can tell you when the next training for Fostering and Bark Buddy will take place. Judy recommends contacting:

ROBYN COPELAND,  Spca Foster Coordinator

321-567-3615 / spcafoster@spcaofbrevard.com

To apply to volunteer or foster, go to spcaofbrevard.com and complete the application.  There are two Facebook pages: SPCA Foster Connection and SPCA Adoption Center

There is a brief training to become a Kitty Kuddler. Kitten and puppy season is starting so its a good time to get involved!

Foster #18 - This little girl was very happy when her grandparents adopted Teddy!

Foster #20 - This woman learned about 12 year old Leono from her Aunt in Tampa, and flew down from Virginia to adopt her.

Apple Tips

TIP #7: YOUR LIFE’S ON THE LINE > DO THIS NOW!

Why You NEED to Fill Out Your Medical ID Right Now! (Unless you enjoy the idea of emergency responders playing a game of “Guess That Allergy”)

Picture this: You’re out doing your weekly shopping at the grocery store. You’ve finally found that perfectly ripe avocado when suddenly—you hit the ground like a sack of potatoes. The paramedics arrive, but instead of treating you, they’re left wondering:

❓ Are you diabetic, or did you just eat an entire bag of Skittles?

❓ Is this an allergic reaction, or is your face normally the size of a watermelon?

❓ Is your spouse, your kid, (or great-grands) in the store with you now?

❓ Where is the number for your emergency contact?

Now, which is the most important question above? If you said ALL, you would be right. In fact, the FIRST thing a Paramedic Responder does is check your phone for your iPhone’s Medical ID. All of that crucial information can be instantly available with just a tap on your locked iPhone, IF YOU’VE ENTERED IT!

How to Set Up Your Medical ID (So You’re NOT a Medical Mystery)

1. Open the Health app (the one with the little heart—very fitting).

2. Tap Your Profile Picture (top right, unless you’ve changed it to a photo of your cat, then good luck).

3. Tap Medical ID > Edit.

4. Fill in everything —allergies, conditions, medications, emergency contacts, your preferred brand of chocolate (okay, maybe not that last one).

5. Make sure “Show When Locked” is turned ON —because a paramedic won’t have time to guess your passcode (unless it’s still “1234,” in which case, we need to have another conversation).

6. Tap Done.

Boom! You just made life WAY easier for first responders and improved your chances of getting the right treatment if you ever can’t speak for yourself.

Now go do it—before I have to scare you with even more horror stories. ��

More Reasons to Set Up Your Medical ID—Like, Yesterday “Wait, who is this person?” –Without a Medical ID, the hospital might have to list you as “Unidentified Fabulous Human” until someone claims you. Meanwhile, your family is at home wondering why you haven’t texted back about dinner plans.

Accidental Treatment – If you’re allergic to certain medications but haven’t noted them, you might wake up feeling real weird (or not waking up at all) after being pumped full of something you shouldn’t have. That’s not a great way to find out you’re allergic to penicillin.

Guessing Games Aren’t Fun in Emergencies – If you have a pacemaker or take blood thinners, a doctor really needs to know that before doing anything drastic. Otherwise, they’re playing the game “Operation” for real.

Lost? Confused? Unconscious? – Paramedics can’t exactly ask for your ID when you’re taking a nap on the sidewalk. Your phone, however, can get you back to your comfy recliner.

You Get the Wrong Contact Called – Forgot to set your emergency contact? Instead of calling your spouse or responsible adult child, they might end up calling your high school nemesis or your ex who still hasn’t given back your casserole dish.

You’re a Solo Adventurer – Live alone? Travel often? If something happens while you’re out and about, it could mean the difference between life or death (yours) if a medical pro could access your emergency info without waiting for your FBIlevel secure passcode to be cracked?

Because Murphy’s Law Exists – The one day you forget your ID is the day something ridiculous happens. Why tempt fate? Set up your Medical ID and be ready for anything. Don’t play with fire…Take the time or get help to enter your Medical Info on your iPhone … The life it saves could very well be yours!

Funny Thing Is… Baseball’s A Hit (But Not

It’s Spring again and that means baseball season is in full swing (pun intended). I honestly love the sport of baseball and for the life of me I can’t figure out why. One of my favorite teams is the Tampa Bay Rays which means I never expect to be happy in October. The Rays franchise is one of many teams that plays like a Minor League team at the Major League level.

Yeah, the minors are where players are developed to greatness then they move up to the majors. But with the Rays if a player becomes great, they get rid of him for a bunch of players who actually are better at flipping Whoppers than fielding grounders.

Did you know baseball is the only sport where if you fail 70% of the time you’re at bat you make the All-Star Team. Seriously? Yep. Name me any other sport where a 70% failure rate makes you a premiere player. So why is it my favorite sport? I mean you got 10 guys out there standing around most of the time, one guy throwing the ball to one guy at bat. Whatever happens there is usually only one or two other guys involved. If the batter misses the catcher catches it. If he hits it only probably only one guy is gonna catch it. Which means most of the time 70% of the players on the field are irrelevant and bored. Maybe that’s

why there’s so much video of them scratching their private parts or spitting tobacco. And this goes on for 3 hours a day on average.

So why in the world is this my favorite sport? I look at these some of these kids in their early 20’s making more money in one year scratching and spitting for 3 hours a day than I made in my 34-year career at NASA working 8-14 hours a day. People spend hundreds to thousands of dollars to come watch all this, usually in searing heat but sometimes in snow. But for some reason we still love it.

I have noticed hot dogs and beer seem to taste much better when sitting in a stadium watching 7 out of 10 guys count their money. So, when it comes to baseball, even though less than 30% of the time it’s a hit, with me it’s still a hit.

Go figure.

Dr. Sammy

Karen Roy’s Ladies Dinks and Drinks group held their second annual social on Friday, March, 28 at the Pavilion. This group of 40-45 women meets Friday afternoons for informal pickleball, and it’s been a wonderful addition to the TGO Pickleball Club. This year’s theme was Hawaiian Luau.

Ron Smith, who celebrated his 90th birthday last week, is our mascot. And a special thanks to Kathy and John Nicklas for the bartending services.

OBITUARIES

James M. Ludlow

February 26, 2025

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of James Ludlow who went home to be our Lord on February 26, 2025. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Sally Ludlow for 62 years. They have 2 children, James Ludlow, Ill and Jennifer Ludlow and 2 grandchildren. “Jim” to his friends, was a member of our TGO community for over 22 years. He was born in Summit, New Jersey and graduated from Columbia University with a Master in Business. Sally and Jim were married in 1963 in the Pocono Mountains at the yacht club where he later became Commodore for a few years there.

Jim had a love for singing, sailing and traveling. The Ludlow family lived outside of the Great Lakes and spent years traveling around the world and then started RVing around the country until they found the perfect place to park their RV. They chose to build a home here in TGO and made this their permanent home in 2002.

He was active in the community and served as condo president for 10 years. He was an avid shuffleboard player winning several tournaments and also was a regular member of our Aquacise swimming for years. Jim continued to stay active through the years. He was gifted with a beautiful singing voice that he loved to share. He appeared in numerous variety shows and he was more than happy to sing at any opportunity presented.

Jim had a true joy for life and a sincere love of his family. He will be greatly missed by his wife Sally, his children and grandchildren and all of the TGO residents who knew him.

With Heartfelt Thanks

We would like to thank our entire TGO community family and friends for the overwhelming love and support we have received during our sudden loss of Susanne. We greatly appreciate all the love, prayers, support, cards, visits, flowers, plants, and hugs.

This truly is a wonderful place to live. We are very thankful for your sympathy and words of encouragement. It really means a lot to us.

Your kindness will never be forgotten.

HOW YOU CAN HELP OUR TGO MAIL OPERATION RUN SMOOTHLY...

1. Please wait at least two hours from the time you receive a notice on your phone or computer that your package has arrived before coming to the post office. Here’s how it works... The truck backs up to post office, scans the packages and puts them in the office, but they don’t put the packages in the parcel lockers or place the pink slips in the box. That’s what Kathy and her team does, so that two hour time period is necessary for them to sort packages and put the notices in the boxes or the packages in the parcel lockers.

2. Empty your mailbox at least every other day. Don’t let it accumulate for more than two days. The boxes are small and if they get too full, the mail has to be put into a holding box and put on a shelf and there is very limited space. Shelf space is designated for mail that is being held Please don’t treat the post office as a storage facility.

3. Rather than calling to ask if there is a package for you, please go look for yourself. Between all the mail and packages, they don’t have time to look for everyone’s packages. There will be a key or pink slip in your box if you have a package.

4. If you are running a business out of your house and need lots of supplies, please don’t rely on our post office for your supplies. Please order them from USPS (where they are free) or other supply sites. Our post office has limited space for shipping boxes, bags and labels.

5. If you are leaving for the summer and want your mail held, please know that your mail can be held for free for 30 days. Just let the post office know you will be gone so they can collect your mail. There is a form you will need to fill out. If you want your mail forwarded, there is a small fee of $25 per month plus postage to facilitate this service.
