THE CRAFT FAIR WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.

Kudos to Carol Shields for all her hard work, Linda Hoos, a great announcer, and Everyone who helped with this event.

(I cannot report on the Fashion Show, since this article was due before the deadline.)

Please remember to put aside any usable items that you are thinking of giving away for the Trash and Treasure. We use the money received from the Trash and Treasure so that the Fashion Show can be a free event.

Our next meeting is Saturday, February 8 th . We will be collecting our $5.00 dues at this meeting.

Please bring it in an envelope with your name / telephone # and email address.

Cash is appreciated.

If you would like to join the Garden Club, please come to the meeting.

Why join the Garden Club? To meet new Ladies and be involved in Four of the fun events held in season.

Don’t let the name scare you; we are more of a social club. Few members work in the garden.

The Garden Club is responsible for the Craft Fair, Fashion Show, Trash and Treasure and the Butter y Garden, and we have an end-of-season Luncheon for members only.

The Butter y Garden is near the Gazebo. Linda and John Hoos volunteered to care for the garden and have done an outstanding job.

Did you see the Halloween decorations? I cannot wait to see what they do again for Christmas.

A Big Thank You to Linda and John

The Garden Club wishes everyone a Merry Christmas / Happy Hanukkah And a Very Happy New Year

DECEMBER WHAT TO PLANT

Bedding Plants: To add color to the winter garden, plant masses of begonia, impatiens, and geranium.

Bulbs: Amaryllis is a popular plant for the holiday season. They can be forced to bloom now or planted outdoors for spring blooms.

Herbs: Plant herbs that thrive in cool weather. Some to try are parsley, thyme, sage, dill, fennel, and cilantro.

Vegetables: Reliable cool season vegetables to plant this

month include celery, cauliflower, lettuce, cabbage, and carrot.

DECEMBER WHAT TO DO

Poinsettias: One of the most popular holiday plants is poinsettia. Enjoy it indoors now; then plant in the garden to re-bloom next year.

Irrigation: Plants may need irrigation if the weather has been warm and dry. Monitor for signs of stress and water only as needed.

Fungal disease: Continue monitoring for brown patch and large patch fungal disease through May. Cultural practices are key in control.

Houseplants: Inspect regularly for pests on indoor plants. Keep in mind that plant speci c temperature, light, and humidity are key to ensuring that indoor plants thrive.

Soil Test: If plants did not perform as desired this year or new plantings are being planned, a soil test may be a good idea.

Compost: Composting is environmentally friendly and produces a bene cial soil amendment or mulch. Plant debris provides the carbon ingredient needed for successful composting.

Pests: While cooler weather generally means fewer pests, some populations actually increase at this time of year. Continue monitoring and treat as needed.

Holiday Trees: Consider enjoying a live southern red cedar and then plant it in the landscape when the holidays are over.

Protect: Falling temperatures may require protection of tender orchids, impatiens, and tomatoes

Excerpts from the Florida Gardening Calendar University of Florida.

The Roaring 20’s were signi cant in many ways. The Stock Market crashed, and the Great Depression began. The amendment prohibiting alcohol was established and later repealed. Women were granted the right to vote and scotch tape was invented. The Star Spangled Banner was named the U.S. national anthem and the frozen food process was patented. Mickey Mouse made his debut and the  rst Academy Awards were announced. Insulin was mass-produced for diabetes and work began on Mount Rushmore. Many notable people were born during those years including: Martin Luther King, Jr., Johnny Carson, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth II, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Shirley Temple, and Mr. Rogers, to name a few.

On November 8 th , twenty-three people who were born in 1919 to 1929 were recognized and honored at a biennial birthday celebration in the Tara Woods Clubhouse. These  ne nonagenarians are current residents of the Tara Woods community. They have served the community well over the years of its existence and deserve our deepest praise.

The honored guests began to arrive shortly after 11:00 AM and were greeted by the smiling faces of Lynn Makia, Alice Loveday, JoAnn Stovall and Mary Green. Each celebrant received a name tag and a boutonniere

or corsage, before being escorted to the designated photo area for a commemorative photograph.

Norman Libby, with the assistance of his wife, Sharie, tickled the keys of the grand piano and the ears of the attendees with beautiful music, as they waited for everyone to arrive and lunch to be served. And what a lunch it was. Busy in the kitchen behind the scenes was Janet Daly, Linda Hoos, Lousie Patterson, Donna Phillips and Barbara Roland who created hearty scoops of tuna salad and egg salad on a large leaf of lettuce with fresh fruit, a croissant and a delicious slaw.

Members of the Tara Woods Magic Softball Team dressed for the occasion in their black and white vests and so graciously served beverages and the meal. Thank you, Larry Baldwin, Ron & Bobbie Mester, Bill Nothnagle and John & Chris Olson for such wonderful service. Between lunch and dessert, Lynn Makia read a humorous poem supplied by John & Irene D’Amico, then acknowledged birthdays by year, including Helen Boettger – 1919. The ages of the nonagenarians seated at each table were calculated and one table with  ve of these guests totaled 465 years. Happy Birthday was sung to the accompaniment of 98-year old John Hodder on his harmonica. 90S BIRTHDAY PARTY

After dessert was served, several attendees joined the New Image Chorus (Ron Andrews, Irene Bartsch, Dorothy Benedict, Rod Browder, Polly Brown, Lou Cashin, Ron Proulx, John D’Amico, Erika Futrell, Lois Heideman, Kathy Rafferty, Ernie St. James and Carol Shields) gathering around the piano to sing some old favorites like “You are My Sunshine” and “Blue Moon.” It was delightful to watch the guests sing along and see their toes tapping to the beat of the music.

No special event like the 90’s Birthday Celebration would be complete without lots and lots of photographs. Haywood Gandy handled the picture taking duties and the attached photos are an excellent representation of his skill and this beautiful event. It was a positively wonderful afternoon.

Many thanks to the 90’s Celebration team, Lynn Makia, Diane Gibson, Janet Daly and JoAnn Stovall, for all of the work they accomplished to bring this event to fruition. Finally, the many clubs, groups and individuals in Tara Woods who funded this event are to be thanked for their kindness and generosity. We also thank Bob and Emy Stein of Island Visitor Publishing for their generous contribution.

Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Tara Woods 4th Annual Doggie Costume Parade went on thanks to Gar eld, Malachite, Abby, Spanky and Bailey. It was an especially hot day for our four-legged friends, but they paraded on.

The effort that goes into coming up with a costume that your dog can parade in on a hot Florida day is to be applauded, and I for one can truly appreciate. I would hate to see this creative event lose its desire, so maybe next year we can come up with a more attractive event. (Suggestions appreciated.)

Many thanks to our judges, Debbie and Marylou, for coming to Tara Woods, and also to Donna, Sue and Lorraine for all their help, and actually, to all of you who showed up – everyone helped. That’s the magic of Tara Woods!

A special thanks goes to Bob and Emy Stein at Island Visitor Publishing who publish The Columns and sponsored this Doggie Parade!

Sending out a “Great Job and Thank You” to all of the bakers from the Midwest Club. All of the proceeds from the baked goods that were so generously donated for the Craft Fair by the members will be going to the Hearts for Homes Veterans Inc., along with added donations from the November 8 th meeting. This donation will be greatly appreciated. Our meeting on November 8th brought some wonderful homemade recipes for different soups, salads and desserts. No one went away hungry.

Welcome back to our Winter residents! On November 7 th , the Computer Club began a new season of free computer classes for the owners, renters, and guests of Tara Woods. These are held at 10:30 AM every Thursday in the Card Room at the Clubhouse. They are open to everyone, and there is no membership fee.

Our normal schedule of classes resumes on Thursday, December 6 th . The first and third Thursday of each month is devoted to Computer Basics. This is a complete course on how to use your computer. The second and fourth Thursday is reserved for General subjects, and cover a single speci c topic of interest. If there is a  fth Thursday in a month, it is an open question and answer session where you can ask me almost anything you want.

It’s never too late to join our group, even if you’re a total novice. This is a great time to learn the Basics; we are starting again at the very beginning and assume that you know nothing about computers. The General topics cover all sorts of subjects, programs, and hardware, including Windows, working with photos, multi-media, tablets, cell phones and e-book readers. We spend as much time as we need to on each topic, and the next topic to be covered is always posted on the bulletin board in the Clubhouse. Feel free to attend only those classes that appeal to you. Bring something to take notes with, and your laptop computer if you want to follow along on it. I will answer any question you care to ask me. I also give private lessons and set up or repair computers in your home. I’ve been designing, programming, repairing, teaching, and working with computers since 1968, and can help you with all of your computer needs. Please call me with any questions or comments at 652-0488. I’m looking forward to seeing you.

Season’s Greetings to All. Can’t believe it’s December. SOON we’ll be celebrating Christmas once again here in our Tara Woods Community. HO! HO! HO!

Our Clubhouse is very welcoming and festive due to all the decorated Christmas Trees. The trees are decorated by the various community Clubs which you may have joined. If you have not joined one or more of our Clubs, please take a moment and come join us. Also, just a reminder, our annual Christmas Party being held on Saturday, December 7th, and another main event – the traditional Golf Cart Parade will be held this year on Wednesday, December 11th. Let’s not forget our singing voices afterwards for our Christmas Caroling. Show your Christmas cheer singing along with our community family.

I remember Cooking with Bailey where he shared his famous holiday treats for his fellow four-footed furry friends. So, in this segment of Shiloh Speaks, “Doggy Desserts” – Homemade Treats for your Happy Healthy Canine. (Just a reminder PLEASE, all you humans, no sampling our treats, it’s for US, your four-footedfurry companions.) GINGERBREAD DOGHOUSE ¼ cup all-natural molasses 1/3 cup water 1 ¼ cup whole wheat  our 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder ½ Tbsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground cinnamon ¼ cup vegetable oil ¼ cup honey 1 egg And as US HUMANS, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a Gingerbread House. Using this recipe for our canines, follow these ingredients, and once completed, show your creativity by building a gingerbread doghouse from this recipe.

Well, my time is up for this month. The next time you’ll read Shiloh Speaks it will be the NEW YEAR 2020, bringing a new decade, with new hopes and dreams to one and all. I hope it will be happy and healthy along with peace for one and all. No barking about!

Once again, I stress to you, please pick up after us at our Dog Park and around our community of Tara Woods. Respect IT!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year in 2020.

Happy Tails. SHILOH SHILOH SPEAKS

TENNIS ASSOCIATION

Kathy and I have returned from the icy north and are glad to be back in the sunshine.

The tennis courts look very nice – lots of positive comments about that. The park maintenance man has been blowing off the courts at 7:30 AM every day and the drainage lines have been cleared of debris. Sprinklers have been adjusted so hopefully the standing water issues that have bugged us in the past are history. The common area around the courts looks well kept also. If you see people walking their dogs along the edges of the courts, ask them in a kind way to please move to the street; it’s an issue sanitation-wise. If they refuse, let me know so I can bring it to the park manager’s attention.

Again, as in the past, anyone interested in joining the Tennis Association or learning to play tennis, beginner or experienced, we invite you to stop by the courts or give me a call on my cell at 218-760-2855 or call 239-543-7556 for the Tennis Association. – Roger Rafferty TENNIS COURT MAINTENANCE

A special Thank You to Tim Eagle, our Tara Woods Maintenance Man, for blowing debris off the tennis courts every morning. The courts look great! As a side note, I was told that our new Maintenance Man is Tony Double, so I would now expect that he will be blowing off the courts every day.

Also, a special Thank You to Chick Jakacki and Jerry Latham for putting up the wind screens. It is not easy putting up the wind screens, but they did a great job working together. – Pam Ahlers TENNIS LEAGUES

The Tara Woods tennis leagues started the  rst week in November. Because of the early deadline for The Columns, team scores will be reported in a later issue.

We hope you are ready to come on over to the tennis courts to cheer on all of our tennis teams as you show your support for your Tara Woods friends. WOMEN’S LEAGUE WOMEN’S TEAM – ANGELS

The Tara Woods Angels began this season’s league play on Thursday, November 14 th , with an away game against the women from Herons Glen. On Thursday, November 21 st , the Angels played at home against Lake Fairways. We will report on the outcome of those two matches in the next issue of The Columns. There are eight teams in our SWIFT league this year. Returning teams from the other communities are Lake Fairways, Herons Glen, Pine Lakes (with two teams), Sabal Springs, and Six Lakes. New to the league this year is a team from Del Tura.

The league schedule has been  nalized and is now posted on the Tennis Bulletin Board.

We appreciate our wonderful spectators cheering us on at our home games. And, it is especially nice to see our Tara Woods friends at our away games too. – Linda Engel MEN’S LEAGUE WHITE TEAM – STALLIONS

This year we have 9 players playing on our White Team. We all will play each week, with some playing two sets and others playing one set. This will allow all of our players to actively participate each week.

There is one important change for the 2019- 2020 season. Our season began on Tuesday, November 5 th , at 1:00 PM with pre-season games. Our actual season will start at the beginning of January 2020. This is a one-year trial season to see how it goes.

Hope everyone had a great summer and we will see you on the courts. Cheers. – Glen Fisher BLUE TEAM – TIGERS

On Thursday, November 7th, we started the new season playing the Herons Glen Yard Dogs. We enjoyed playing on our newly surfaced courts, despite the heat! As we began the season, our team is down two players. Unfortunately, due to an emergency, we lost a third player at the last minute and, therefore, we had to immediately go to Plan “B”. On court one we won our  rst set but lost the second set following a long, hard-fought match which went into a tiebreaker. On court two it was great to see our new team player and sub win their  rst set. The  nal result was the Herons Glen Yard Dogs 4 and the Tara Woods Tigers 2. We are all grateful to be back in Tara Woods and we look forward to enjoying team play. – Al Dion / Mike O’Hearn BLUE TEAM – MUSTANGS

The North Fort Myers Men’s League held their semi-annual meeting on Monday, October 28th. The meeting was a review of the league rules and to discuss any outstanding issues.

The Tara Woods Mustangs completed their  rst away match on Thursday, November 7 th , at Herons Glen. The teams split the matches 3-3. This Heron Glen team  nished in second place in our league last year and they were out for revenge. Their courts are soft clay and it takes some time to get used to the difference in how the ball bounces versus on our Tara Woods hard courts.

We had a number of our fans at the match and we actually outnumbered the local Herons Glen residents.

Our next three matches will all be away games. – Mike Renzulli ROUND ROBINS

The new season for the Tennis Association has started. The  rst Round Robin was played on Sunday, November 24 th . However, this article was written before the match was played so I could not comment on the results. We use random sets made up of players who sign up prior to the play day. Anybody can sign up who would like to play. There is no Round Robin in December due to the holidays. Our next Round Robin will be Sunday, January 26 th . As the season goes on, I will report on the future match activities. – Dale Holat Submitted by Linda Engel TENNIS NEWS
