Meet your neighbors: Dave and Pat Abernathy Dave Abernathy waited 42 years, but he finally got his Chevelle. A large statue of Mickey Mouse is displayed prominently on a side table in Dave and Pat Abernathy’s dining room. The statue, The Mickey Award, is the first-place trophy the couple received June 14-15, at the Car Masters Weekend at Downtown Disney. The event featured 125 cars in 11 categories.
“It was like an art show,” Pat Abernathy said. “We had to send pictures and information about the car before the car could be put on display.” The Abernathys’ car, an orange 1969 Dodge Super Bee A-12, which was entered in the Classics 1965-1989 category, won them the Judges’ Choice
Award. ”The judge came by and was very impressed we had kept the integrity of the car down to the hubs and wheels,” she said. The Abernathys also have a notebook full of provenance from the original window stick-

The grounds will be a little bit brighter this holiday season, as the Plantation Bay Community Association Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve raising the holiday decoration budget from $5,000 to $7,500 for the 2014 holiday season, at its Aug. 25 meeting. Additions to the decorations for the upcoming season include lighting the trees and ponds at the U.S. 1 entrance as well as lighting ponds at the Old Dixie Highway entrance and hanging a wreath on the entrance wall. Decorations that will not make the cut this year include the ball, which previously sat at the entrance, and the reindeer. Decorations will be set out as close to Thanksgiving as possible, as the community will have to coordinate with the schedule of the company that is hired. “It’s difficult to find people to do this kind of work in this area,” board President Kathy Pounds told the board during discussion. Also at the meeting, Fran Poggialia and Art Fadde were appointed to the Modifications Committee. For more on the board’s actions, see Page 3.

Six weeks after purchase, the transmission had to be replaced, and when he got it back, just like those Christmas toys from long ago — he took it apart. “I found everything wrong with that car and fixed it,” he said. The Super Bee is the Award winner, the Chevelle is the car that almost got away, but the 1970 red Toyota Landcruiser is Pat Abernathy’s favorite. “It’s hard to explain, but you can hear that car and you can feel it,” she said, adding that she feels like “The Little Old Lady From Pasadena” when she drives it. Like the Chevelle there is also an emotional connection to the Landcruiser for the couple. “I wooed her in that car,” he said. “That’s the emotional connection for Dave Abernathy peruses Super Bee’s history book. us.”

The win garnered them an invitation to the Winter Park Concours d’Elegance in November. “You have to be personally invited, and we were invited by a judge,” Dave Abernathy said. “Just being in that kind of show increases the value of a car.” A friend in high school got Dave into racing. “He had a ’62 Dodge Polara and wanted to drag race it, but it scared him, so I raced it and also raced cars for other friends.” When asked if his mom knew he was racing, he smiled, recalling how his mom found out about his hobby: “She had a ’62 Plymouth station wagon, and she found out when she found a trophy I won stuck under the back seat.” As a child, he said he did not play with toys in the traditional way, but the practice would come in handy when he began working on cars. “I was the crazy kid whose parents gave me stuff for Christmas and by that afternoon I would have everything unassembled,” he said. “I would put it back together as good or better.” In 1969, while married to his first wife, he decided to buy a silver Chevrolet Chevelle with a black interior.

Board OKs amended and restated CC&Rs; next: voting members
We recently completed repairs to the gazebo in Prestwick Park. These repairs included replacing part of the roof, all of the benches, and some areas of the floor. We budget general maintenance dollars for these repairs. In addition, the playground tot swing was repaired, and new mulch was added to the mulch base. If you at any time see anything in the park that needs attention, please feel free to contact the management office to report it. We are committed to keeping everything in the playground and park area in safe working condition. Kathy Pounds President
MANAGEMENT REPORT
The Plantation Bay Community Association Board of Directors unanimously approved amended and restated CC&Rs pending voting member approval. After much discussion and input from community members, at the Aug. 18 Plantation Bay Community Association Board of Directors meeting the board members approved the amended and restated CC&Rs pending voting member approval. According to board Secretary John Gamin, the majority of the changes in the documents consolidate amendments to the article itself. One community member did not agree with the action taken by the board and spoke out at the meeting, asking them to table their vote until everyone who wants to receive a complete set of the changes has received it. “It is nonsense. I want to see exactly what the changes are,” Jane GentileYoud told the board. “I am very uncomfortable with the final vote being taken today. You could amend the document to have everyone in Plantation Bay have their own vote. This community doesn’t

involve anyone.” Gentile-Youd went on to accuse the board of being undemocratic and not transparent. Gamin responded to the accusations by telling Gentile-Youd that he would not “play her game.” “There has been nothing finalized. We didn’t do any of this in a secret back room,” Gamin said. “I am doing this the way we have been instructed to do it.” With this being said, the discussion was ended and community members in attendance were told that the board must approve the changes before the documents are distributed to the voting members. A workshop for the voting members to discuss the changes made and ask any questions will be set before they make their vote for approval. Once that is done, the discussion will come back to the board and they will go through the voting process once again.

GOOD DEEDS By Jacque Estes | Staff Writer
Tutors visit Espanola School children meet at an old school house near Bunnell, in Flagler County. More volunteers are needed to help tutor. A chance meeting a year and a half ago continues to help children in Espanola, a small community west of Bunnell in Flagler County. Kathy Pounds and others who live in Plantation Bay were involved with a food bank program in Flagler County where they met Katherine Jefferson. Jefferson had someone she wanted them to meet. “She wanted us to meet Rev. Giddens and see what he was doing with the old school house there,” Pounds said. The meeting resulted in a tutoring group to support the work the Rev. Frank Giddens was doing. The group now includes 13 members: Terry Sutton, Linda Nugent, Kathie Walter, Peggy Gallo, Pat Kelly, Kathy Long, Larry Long, Hazel Edwards, George Sampson, Linda Iorlano, Darleene Maenche, Barbara Sims and Pounds. “We wanted to support what they were doing. This is their program,” Pounds said. “Francina Marshall is in charge of the Youth Center, and she oversees the operation and is in charge of the children.” The tutors each have their own schedule and go to the Youth Center from 4 to 5 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and/or Thursdays. Currently there are approximately 30 children taking part in the program. Homework help is a popular request. “Some of the tutors who have been going there for a while have established a rapport with certain children,” Pounds said. “Typically we help them with homework. School work has gotten more difficult and a little more complicated than
it was when I was in school.” New tutors are always welcome, and a formal background in education is not required to participate. “You do not have to be a retired school teacher,” Pounds said. “We do have some who were teachers, but many use their experience from working with their own children and grandchildren. You need to like children and be interested in them.”
Music to their ears
A new tutoring program being developed involves music. “Kathy Walter has arranged for the children to take guitar lessons on Monday nights,” Pounds said. Anyone interested in becoming a tutor can call Pounds at 586-6605. She will explain the program in more detail and arrange to have someone take the new volunteer up to the Youth Center in Espanola. “We have someone take them up there the first time,” she said. “That way they can find it once they are going on their own.” Older students in the area who are honor roll students also help the younger children. “There is a lot of talent up there and a lot of children who will do great things,” she said. Last year a student involved in the program won a leadership and academic award in school. Tutoring is offered all year long. “I really want to keep going and working with the children to build their confidence level and getting them involved in education,” she said.

Did you know that it DOESN’T include Flood Insurance? Though a homeowners policy is often only required if there is a mortgage on the home, it is still advisable to purchase a homeowners policy even if the home is owned outright so you can protect your investment.

Richards: Membership in the committee has tripled. Eleven women gathered around a round table at Club de Bonmont talking about Christmas parties and gifts, not for their children or grandchildren but for youngsters they have yet to meet. The Plantation Bay Community Outreach Committee formed in October 2011 by a group of residents who wanted to give back to those in need in Volusia and Flagler counties. “This committee is the outcome of the question, ‘What are we going to do to make a difference?,’” said Martha Richards, who heads up the committee. The group’s projects began with supporting the Halifax Urban Ministries local food pantry and Flagler’s Angels Christmas Project. The topic at the August meeting focused on Christmas. In past years the members have delivered the gifts directly to each child’s home. “This year we are holding a Christmas party, complete with Santa Claus, at the Youth Center,” Richards said. “We call it the Christmas Angel Project.” The project begins when the Christmas tree, decorated with tags with children’s names and what they want, is put up at Club de Bonmont. Residents are encouraged to take a tag and shop for the child. But the support is not just one day; it is the entire holiday season from Thanksgiving to Easter. Families are provided with holiday dinners and Easter baskets. Forty-eight children were adopted in 2013. The number for this season had not been determined. The party will be held at the Youth Center at St. Paul’s Missionary Baptist Church complete with refreshments, and anyone interested will be able to attend. The Youth Center has become special

Martha Richards to the committee. “Flagler County provides laptops to some of the students, but many of these children didn’t have Internet at home, so we bought six computers for the Youth Center and six months’ Internet service, which we are extending to 12 (months),” Richards said. The center has also received indoor and outdoor games, and Richards hopes the committee will be able to renovate the Youth Center. “We don’t want to take it over, it’s their community place. We want to make it better,” she said. The group also became aware of homeless students, seniors who did not have the means to get a yearbook or go their prom, and Seniors Helping Seniors was born. In July, the committee put out an appeal for others to join the group through NextDoor.com. The request worked, as the membership tripled to 19. New members are welcome. The group meets the fourth Monday of each month.

After seven years, Nancy Fletcher still marvels at the fitness center Plantation Bay residents enjoy within their gates. “You don’t find service like this very often in communities,” Fletcher said of the Director of Fitness and Spa. “Most of the members are very appreciative of this facility.” Fletcher was hired in 2007 to open the facility and oversees a staff of eight and contract service providers. “This is unique in the fact that it is in a gated community. It is really more of a country club with the staff of eight,” Fletcher said. The fitness center has state-of-the-art Life Fitness equipment and all of the cardio equipment have televisions. Establishing a workout program tailored for each member and helping them become acquainted with the proper way to use the equipment is a top priority. New members all start by providing a health history and then are introduced to the equipment, a process that Fletcher says she likes to spread out between two meetings to establish a routine. One of the features is a private boardtype room off to the side which is used to get girth and body fat measurements. For many, the fitness center is a convenient place to continue rehabilitation after injuring themselves or undergoing knee or hip replacement. “They need to bring a medical release from their doctor, and many bring their physical therapists the first time to look over the equipment and to show them what to use to continue their therapy. I encourage that,” Fletcher said. No is on their own; staff is available for guidance.

Classes available
Classes are also available and include cardio, Zumba, yoga, and water aerobics. All are ongoing classes so members can join at any time. “You can buy class cards and that gives you 16 classes and are good for two months,” Fletcher said. “It ends up being about $2.50 a class.” Spa services include several different massages, manicures and pedicures and waxing. Two rooms are reserved for these services. Those interested in losing weight can consult the registered dietician. “For those who want to lose weight or have medical requirements for diabetes or are going through chemotherapy, she can counsel them on what’s healthiest,”

PLANTATION BAY OBSERVER SEPTEMBER 2014

Do you want to modify? Talk to the committee The neighborhoods of Plantation Bay owe their aesthtic appeal to a small dedicated group of volunteers — The Plantation Bay Modification Committee. The committee of five is guided by Susanne Armstrong of the Plantation Bay management staff. Currently the interim president is Frank Karin, but he will step down when the new group of five selects someone from their group. To be on the board, interested individuals have to submit applications that are then reviewed by the management staff. According to Armstrong, there are generally not a lot of applications. “It’s a lot of hard work and little thanks,” Armstrong said. The current committee includes an artist, a real estate agent and a homeowner. “It is a very eclectic group. We have a good mix right now,” Armstrong said. “They try to keep it fun.” The group starts their work anytime a homeowner wants to make a change to their home or property. Homeowners are required to submit an application to the board before they begin any painting, roofing, fencing or landscaping projects. “They have to apply before they do anything,” she said. “Our goal is to keep everything flowing. This is a beautiful community because you can’t just do what you want.” The board members receive a list of homes and projects about 10 days prior to a board meeting. This allows the members to drive by the properties and see for themselves what the homeowner wants to do. The committee meets at 9:30 a.m. the first Monday of each month. Homeowners painting their homes are

asked to paint a 2-by-2-foot section of the proposed main color with a 2-by-1 section of the proposed trim next to each other on an area of the house where the committee members can see it from the road. It is recommended that the painting be near the roof to see how the colors blend with the existing shingles or tiles. “We want to make sure they flow in their neighborhood,” she said. The goal is to keep the areas natural. If you are using the same color scheme, the approval process will most likely be faster. “Each area has certain colors, and they keep within those colors. If you are looking for beach house colors this isn’t the place for you,” Armstrong said. When replacing shingle roofs, tiles that are 130 mph hurricane rated must be used. All contractors have to be licensed, insured and are required to provide a list of the people who will be working with them on the project. “A lot of people love living here because it’s restricted,” she said.

Any resident who will be absent from their residence, please stop at the gate and request an absentee form to complete. Please return the completed absentee form to security. Absentee forms may be used for a day or any extended time you will be away from your home.

Plantation Bay Sports
Tennis Matchmaker of Plantation Bay Dave Brown, USPTA Master Professional tennis director at Plantation Bay, beams as he talks about the changes at the community tennis club. Prior to accepting the position at Plantation Bay, he was the director of tennis at the Florida Tennis Center on LPGA Boulevard. “There are 15,000 in the USPTA teaching organization and probably about 1% who get to be master professionals,” Brown said. “It didn’t happen overnight. ... I came to Plantation Bay five-and-ahalf years ago, and there wasn’t an active tennis program. There were four teams then, and there are 12 teams now.” He added, “People will say to me, ‘I wish I knew someone I could play with,’ and I find someone. I’m the matchmaker. Every court was filled this morning. We had 40 players out there.” Four of the 10 clay courts are lighted for those who want to play some tennis after the sun goes down. The courts are open daily 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Brown’s goal is to get others to do what he did when he was 5 years old — pick up a tennis racket.
Upcoming programs
Two upcoming programs are designed to do just that. The Pathway Tennis After School Program is being offered to 7- to 10-year-old children from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays in September. “This is a perfect time to get kids playing tennis,” Brown said. “The best part
Dave Brown admires some of the rackets he has played with over the years. is it is absolutely free. ... This is even for those who live outside the community and those who are not members.” Adults can also take advantage of the free offer from 5:45 to 7 p.m. to play using free loaner equipment and receive free instruction. The new junior tennis program is described as ROGY with a Red ball (bigger) for 8 and younger; an Orange ball (regular size ball but softer and slower) for 10 and younger); a Green dot ball (regular size

but still softer and slower) for 12 years and younger; and the regulation Yellow ball for 12 years and older. The Start and Restart tennis program is a noncompetitive class for those who want to learn or relearn the game. Brown also offers private classes throughout the year. “You don’t have to join to be in the instruction program but if you want to play on your own you need to join the club,” he said.
DAVE BROWN AWARDED DAYTONA DISTRICT USPTA PRO OF THE YEAR FOR 2014 The U.S. Professional Tennis Association and the U.S. Tennis Association held their annual and semiannual conventions jointly over the weekend at the Club Med Sandpiper Bay, in Port St. Lucie, and named Dave Brown the Pro of the Year for 2014 for the Daytona District. Dave Brown is the director of Tennis at Plantation Bay Tennis, Fitness & Spa in Ormond Beach. Brown’s involvement in local USPTA Community Service included serving as tournament director for the USPTA Champion of Champions that promotes tennis in the local community and raises money for the United Way agency, Volusia Literacy Council. He also served as program director for Pathway Tennis, an after school program for kids 10 and under to help grow tennis in the district. n addition, he was recently elected as president to lead the Greater Volusia Tennis League, a local community tennis organization that provides tennis league play for over 1,000 players in the Volusia/Flagler counties. Brown is also a Master Professional and an active participant in USPTA/USTA tournaments and holds national USPTA rankings in singles and USTA rankings in father/ son doubles with his son, Aaron, also a USPTA tennis teaching professional.

ENGINGES THAT CAN The Cruise In will be noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16. As the temperatures dip and it is once again comfortable to come out from the air conditioning, many may be looking for different activities to enjoy with their spouse, family and friends. Janet Gallant, the events director, has organized the second-annual Plantation Bay Classic Car Show. The show will be from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at the Fitness Center parking lot. This year, the event is being expanded to include all interested car enthusiasts in the Plantation Bay community. “Last year the show was only open to club members,” Gallant said. “This year anyone who lives in Plantation Bay is invited.” Classic cars are a common sight in the community, with many residents who have the vintage cars in their garages or stored outside the community. “We had 23 car entries last year,” Gallant said. “It’s a very casual day, and we want to show off the classic cars in the Plantation Bay community.”
HOUSES SOLD in 2014
The three-hour event boasts more than classic cars. There will also be food and beverages available, and everyone can jam to the classic tunes with DJ Phil. There is no entry fee, but those interested in entering a car in the show must preregister due to limited space. Gallant expects many from last year’s show will participate again this year. “The more the merrier,” Gallant said. “It’s a community affair just like the Annual Art show in March.”
