Manager’s Report May 29, 2026

Dear TGO Community,

Something a bit different on the cover for this issue as we showcase some of the herons, egrets, and wading birds found here in TGO. On page 24, you’ll be introduced to a fascinating variety of birds found throughout our resort. Special thanks to Nancy Payne-Clark, Betty Salter for their contributions, and especially Robin Francis for her beautiful photography.

As most of you may know, there have been a number of questions and discussions regarding what Audubon Certification for our golf course really means. I recently spent some time with our editors to help explain what is involved in achieving this certification, what the process looks like, and how it could benefit both our golf course and the surrounding TGO community. Please see page 14.

It’s important to remind residents and guests that springtime is an especially active season for wildlife throughout our community - particularly for our alligators. We are currently in the middle of alligator mating season, which means they may be seen moving more frequently between lakes, ponds, and waterways throughout TGO.

Please remember to keep a safe distance from all wildlife, use caution around waterways, and never attempt to touch or feed any wild animals. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission offers a great deal of helpful information on how to safely and peacefully coexist with Florida’s wildlife on their website. https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/wildlife/

The pavilion project continues to make excellent progress and remains on schedule. The new roof has been completed, and the floor has been raised to help reduce future flooding concerns. Guy and his team are wrapping up the framing portion of the project and are continuing to keep the work moving steadily forward. Electrical work is now underway, and once completed, the next phase will include the installation of foam insulation. Attached is a photo of the pavilion project showcasing the completed roof, along with the recently completed dock.

The golf course recently received its new tractor and dump trailer. Both pieces of equipment will help save time, improve efficiency, and allow the crew to complete projects more effectively. See page 10 for a photo of them in action.

The golf course crew will also be installing several new landscaping plants to replace those that did not survive the unusual Florida winter cold blast we experienced earlier this year. In addition, the team will be planting native vegetation in non-play areas throughout the course.

Replacing sections of turf with native plants provides important environmental benefits by reducing water consumption and limiting chemical runoff. Once established, native landscaping typically requires little to no supplemental irrigation or fertilizer, helping protect local waterways while also supporting conservation of the Floridan Aquifer.

Best regards,

General Manager

One of the biggest reasons golfers struggle to create speed is because their swing is fast at the wrong time.

A common phrase in golf instruction is “low and slow” referring to the takeaway. While that may sound smooth and controlled, many amateur golfers take it too far. They move the club away so slowly that the swing loses momentum before it ever gets started.

When that happens, the club has no energy carrying into the top of the backswing. The golfer then has to suddenly add speed during the transition, which often leads to poor sequencing, timing issues, and that disconnected, “out of sync” feeling.

Instead, try allowing the club to move away with a little more speed and athleticism during the takeaway. The goal is not to snatch the club back. The goal is to create enough motion that the club can naturally continue traveling to the top of the swing. Once the club reaches about hip high, let off the gas a little and allow it to flow to the top.

A great way to practice this is to make swings where you intentionally feel a slightly quicker takeaway while still maintaining balance and rhythm. Most golfers are surprised to find that the swing actually feels more connected and effortless - not rushed.

If your swing feels slow, disconnected, or difficult to time up, the solution may not be to swing slower. It may simply be learning to swing faster at the right time.

Happenings Around TGO

The new golf course tractor and dump trailer were immediately put to work helping replace some of the plants destroyed by our frost that happened in February.

Golf crew staffers Chris Palmer and Tyler Dailey (upper right with trailer) and Nolan Barry, started replacing some of the damaged palms around the common areas of the course. The new equipment will help save time and allow the crew to complete projects more efficiently.

Battle of the Sexes I

A new event has surfaced at TGO. It seems that Chuck got a little bored and decided to create a challenge match competition, with a little help from Vinnie Salerno and Lyn Johndrow. And voila, the Battle of the Sexes was born. The inaugural edition (roman numeral I) was held on May 19 with the team of Chuck, Vinnie Salerno, John Johndrow and Craig Smith taking on Lyn Johndrow, Pam Nalley, Carol Votto and Jennifer Brown. The format was a 2 better ball net game. The gals put up a valiant effort but, in the end, could not keep up with the guys. The final tally: Guys -15, Gals - 8. Chuck believes this challenge format will continue to grow. All it takes is 4 guys brave enough to take on 4 gals. Just let Chuck know the details and go get your game in shape. More info at the Pro Shop.

Exactly What Does An Audubon Certification Of Our TGO Golf Course Mean?

Audubon Certification through Audubon International is one of the most respected environmental recognitions a golf course can receive. More than just a certification plaque, it represents a commitment to responsible golf course management, environmental stewardship, wildlife protection, and long-term sustainability.

For TGO, this means maintaining a balance between excellent playing conditions and preserving the natural beauty and wildlife that make our community unique. From water conservation and habitat protection to responsible maintenance practices, the certification reflects an ongoing effort to care for both the golf course and the environment surrounding it. Some of the key benefits include:

Environmental Credibility

Demonstrates a commitment to protecting natural resources through responsible water usage, wildlife management, and environmentally conscious maintenance practices that benefit both the golf course and the surrounding community.

Better Wildlife Habitat

Golf courses provide important green space for birds, pollinators, turtles, bats, and other native Florida wildlife. Preserving wetlands, native plants, and natural areas helps protect these species while maintaining the beauty and balance of the course.

Improved Water Management

Encourages efficient irrigation practices, careful monitoring of water usage, and responsible lake management to help conserve water while maintaining healthy turf conditions throughout the course.

Reduced Usage of Chemicals and Fertilizer

Promotes more targeted and efficient applications of fertilizers and promotes integrated pest management (IPM), helping reduce unnecessary chemical usage while maintaining healthy turf and overall course conditions.

Public Relations and Marketing Value

Highlights the golf course’s commitment to environmental stewardship, conservation, and responsible management, creating a positive image for golfers, residents, guests, and the surrounding community.

Property Value Perception

Well-maintained natural areas, healthy waterways, and environmentally responsible practices help enhance the overall appearance and value of the community and contribute to a more desirable living environment.

Tournament and Partnership Appeal

Some sponsors, organizations, and players appreciate sustainability initiatives. Audubon status can help distinguish a course from competitors and enhance the golf course’s reputation.

As you can see from the benefits listed above, becoming an Audubon Certified golf course is about much more than golf. It reflects a commitment to environmental stewardship, responsible course management, wildlife preservation, and protecting the natural beauty that already makes TGO so unique. To help provide residents with a better understanding of what this process could mean for our community, we spoke directly with CSA Manager and Golf Course Superintendent Shane Willey to get his perspective on the program, the certification process, and the potential long-term value it could bring to TGO. Continued Page 16...

Shane Willey’s Insight On Certification

Shane, tell us a bit about what the inspiration is in pursuing an Audubon Certification for the TGO golf course?

What inspires me the most is recognizing that a golf course can be much more than just a place to play golf. At TGO, we have an great amount of natural beauty, wildlife, and green space, and I believe it’s important to manage those resources responsibly.

Over the past several years, many of the practices we have implemented already align with Audubon standards, including water management, habitat preservation, and sustainable turf practices. Pursuing certification is really about continuing to improve the course while protecting the environment that makes TGO unique.

Some people think environmental programs can hurt golf course conditions. How do you protect the environment while still keeping the course in great shape for golfers?

One of the biggest misconceptions is that environmental stewardship means sacrificing golf course conditions, and that really is not the case. The goal is to work smarter by improving turf health, refining irrigation practices, and managing resources more efficiently.

Overall, it is not a difficult process because many of these practices are already part of the direction we have been moving toward at TGO.

A healthy, sustainable golf course typically results in stronger turf, better long-term playability, and improved overall conditions for both golfers and the environment.

What types of changes or improvements would be needed for TGO to achieve certification?

The process mainly involves continuing to improve areas such as water conservation, wildlife habitat management, environmental planning, and documentation of our maintenance practices. Some additional improvements could include expanding native plant areas, adding educational signage, enhancing wildlife habitats, and continuing to refine irrigation efficiency throughout the course.

Overall, it is not a difficult process because many of these practices are already part of the direction we have been moving toward at TGO.

Beyond the golf course itself, how could this program positively impact the overall TGO community?

This certification can benefit the entire community, not just

the golf course. Protecting wildlife habitats, improving water management, and preserving natural areas all help maintain the beauty and environmental health of TGO as a whole.

Obviously, our owners are always concerned about costs, can you give us an idea what the certification would run?

The certification itself is actually very affordable. There is an initial membership fee along with a yearly renewal fee, but overall the cost is relatively minor - especially compared to many other golf course projects or improvements.

A lot of the standards involved are already things we are doing as part of our normal maintenance and operational practices here at TGO. Because of that, I do not see this as something that would create a significant financial burden for the community.

How long does the certification process take, and what are the next steps if TGO decides to move forward?

Typically, the certification process can take anywhere from one to three years depending on the course and how many of the standards are already in place. Fortunately, many of the practices encouraged through the program are things we have already been implementing at TGO for several years, so we are cautiously optimistic that the process could move along at a quicker pace.

I believe there is real long-term value in moving in this direction. We have already begun working with Betty Salter and her qualified birders to help identify and document the various bird species found throughout the course. The sooner we begin the process, the sooner the community can benefit from everything the program has to offer.

Thank you, Shane, for taking the time to speak with us about this Audubon opportunity. We hope you are enjoying your dual role as both CSA Manager and Course Superintendent - although we have a feeling your schedule has become a little busier lately!

Busy, yes - but I’m really enjoying it. Both roles work closely together, and I’m excited about the direction we’re moving as a golf course and as a community.

BETTY SALTER TAKES THE HELM AS NATURE CENTER PRESIDENT

INVASIVES Are Everywhere! Torpedo Grass - our devastating intruder

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.

We continue our series on invasive plants and learning just how much of our community and our region has been overrun with them. In this issue we will discuss Torpedo Grass, one of the world’s most aggressive intruders which has destroyed thousands of acres of natural plant habitat. And more than likely, you have it growing in your yard.

A DEDICATED VOLUNTEER

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.

Like so many of our previously discussed invaders, Torpedo Grass was brought to this country from Africa or Eurasia before 1876 either accidentally from ship’s ballasts, or intentionally in Louisiana as a forage grass for cattle and horses.

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.

Either way, in early 1900 the United States Department of Agriculture gave away the seeds thinking it was a hardy forage.

As it turns out, the grass was not as good a forage as the USDA thought, and the grass began spreading rapidly. It cannot survive frosts, so the Torpedo Grass spreading in our country is limited to the southern US.

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.

Torpedo Grass likes moist soil, and has invaded over 75% of Florida’s aquatic marshes, ponds and wetlands. It is classified as a Category I invasive plant in Florida, meaning its spread destroys native plant growth.

The plant can also survive through extreme droughts, making it almost impossible to eliminate. Here in TGO, the CSA lawn crews make constant efforts with special herbicides to destroy the grass around our ponds, especially near Lake Judy where it grows abundantly. It can also be manually pulled, however even a small piece of root can regenerate How to identify Torpedo Grass?

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

Torpedo Grass was named for its pointy, torpedo-shaped blue-green leaves. The plant can grow up to 3 feet in height. Leaves join the stem in a staggered zig-zag pattern.

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

Like so many of the invasive Florida plants, Torpedo Grass has destroyed thousands of acres of native plant growth, especially along our wetlands. We all need to take great precaution when we plant any non-native seeds or plants.

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

Enchanted Forest Sanctuary

Saturday, June 27, 9:00am - 12:00pm

Please join us for a Field Trip to The Enchanted Forest Sanctuary. This beautiful 470-acre forest is the first property that was purchased by the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Program. Enchanted Forest is less than seven miles from TGO, and preserves a diversity of natural habitats, wildlife, and plant life.

Meet at 9:00am in the Manor parking lot to carpool.

Thank You, Frank Robb!

Frank “Alligator” Robb enlightened, informed and delighted a full house of nature-lovers during the Saturday, May 9 Nature Chat. Nature Center President Betty Salter led the discussions on “all things reptilian.” Frank addressed questions from the group, which there were (of course) many about alligators! He also spoke at length about some of the invasive reptilian species which have overtaken large areas of our native habitats. It was a great opportunity to be able to speak with Frank in a small setting. Thank you, Frank!

BALD EAGLE UPDATE!

We are thrilled to report that five bald eagle chicks have hatched from three of our local nests this season. The two eaglets from the nest visible from the nature trail have already fledged. Two more from the nest at The Blue Heron Wetland Treatment System are flying well. The Watson Trail

nest is in a more difficult location to monitor and has one eaglet that was perched on the nest last week.

Keep an eye out in the Facebook group TGO Nature Trails for short-notice walks.

Few sights in The Great Outdoors are more peaceful than watching a heron slowly stalking the edge of a pond at sunrise or seeing white egrets glowing against the green marsh grasses. These beautiful wading birds are some of the most important and recognizable wildlife species living throughout our community. From shallow pond edges to marshes, canals, and wetlands, these birds spend their days hunting fish, frogs, insects, crustaceans, and other aquatic prey. Their presence is also a sign of healthy wetlands and clean water systems.

Each species has its own unique personality, hunting style, and beauty. Here are the most common birds you will spot in TGO. How many have you already seen? How many can you memorize?

Great Blue Heron

The Great Blue Heron is the giant of our local wading birds. Standing tall with blue-gray feathers, long legs, and a dagger-like bill, these birds move with incredible patience while stalking fish along shorelines.

They are powerful hunters capable of catching surprisingly large prey including fish, frogs, snakes, and even small mammals. Watching one slowly move through shallow water is like watching a living piece of prehistoric Florida.

Snowy Egret

The Snowy Egret is smaller and more energetic than the Great Egret. Their bright yellow feet often look like they are wearing golden slippers as they dart through shallow water chasing prey.

These birds are active feeders and often use quick movements to stir fish and shrimp into motion.

Little Blue Heron

Little Blue Herons can confuse people because the juveniles are mostly white before gradually changing into the dark bluish adults. They are quieter and more delicate in appearance than some larger herons and often feed slowly along wetland edges.

Great Egret

Elegant and graceful, the Great Egret is one of Florida’s most striking birds. Their brilliant white feathers, black legs, and yellow bill make them easy to recognize.

During breeding season, they grow delicate plumes that once made them targets during the plume trade era, nearly driving the species toward extinction before conservation laws helped protect them.

Green Heron

The Green Heron is small, secretive, and easy to miss despite being close by. Often hidden among shoreline vegetation, they wait quietly for prey before striking with amazing speed. They are also one of the few birds known to use tools, sometimes dropping insects or feathers onto the water surface to lure fish closer.

Cattle Egret

The Cattle Egret is easy to recognize by its habit of following cattle, tractors, and lawn equipment in search of insects stirred up from the grass. Smaller and stockier than many other egrets, these birds are often seen walking through open fields rather than wading in water. During breeding season, they develop soft buff-colored plumes on their head, chest, and back.

Tricolored Heron

The Tricolored Heron is one of the most beautiful wading birds in Florida, combining striking shades of blue-gray, purple, and white. These birds are far more active hunters than many other herons and are often seen running, darting, and quickly chasing fish through shallow water. Unlike the slow, patient style of larger herons, Tricolored Herons use speed and sudden movements to flush prey into the open. Their slender build, long neck, and graceful movements make them a favorite among birdwatchers and photographers throughout Florida wetlands.

White Ibis

The White Ibis is among the most social wading birds in Florida. Their curved orange bills are specially designed for probing mud and shallow water for insects, crustaceans, and small aquatic creatures. Large flocks moving together across lawns and wetlands are a common sight throughout TGO — mostly aerating our lawns as they search for food. Although adults are bright white with black wing tips, younger White Ibis are mottled brown and gradually develop their striking adult coloration as they mature.

Glossy Ibis

The Glossy Ibis is darker and more subtle in color than the White Ibis, but in sunlight their feathers shimmer with beautiful iridescent greens, bronzes, and purples. They are often seen feeding alongside White Ibis in marshy areas, probing the mud with their long curved bills in search of insects, crustaceans, and small aquatic creatures. From a distance they may appear almost black, but up close their rich metallic coloring is surprisingly striking.

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron

Closely related to the Black-crowned Night-Heron and specializes in feeding on crabs and other crustaceans. With their striking yellow crown, red eyes, and sturdy bill, these birds are well adapted for hunting along shorelines and shallow wetlands. They are often seen quietly stalking prey near marshes, canals, and ponds, especially during the evening and nighttime hours when they become most active.

Black-crowned Night-Heron

The Black-crowned Night Heron is a stocky, nighttime hunter most active during dusk and evening hours. During the day, these birds usually rest quietly in trees or shaded areas near the water’s edge, often remaining motionless for long periods. Their thick necks, red eyes, and shorter legs give them a very different appearance from the taller, more elegant herons commonly seen in Florida. Black-crowned Night-Herons feed on fish, frogs, insects, and small aquatic animals, using patience and quick strikes to catch prey.

Cormorant

Anhinga

The Anhinga is often called the “Snake Bird” because of its long neck, which frequently appears above the water while the rest of its body remains submerged. Unlike ducks, Anhingas do not have fully waterproof feathers, allowing them to dive deeply in search of fish. After swimming, they can often be seen perched with their wings fully spread, drying in the sun.

If you are a golfer, you have no doubt seen these birds along the course standing motionless near the water’s edge or perched on a tree branch with their wings stretched wide open. Their prehistoric appearance and dramatic hunting style make them one of Florida’s most fascinating water birds to observe.

The Double-crested Cormorant is a skilled diving bird often seen swimming low in the water or perched near lakes with its wings spread open to dry. Its hooked bill helps it catch fish underwater, where it can dive surprisingly deep and stay submerged for extended periods. Despite their somewhat prehistoric appearance, cormorants are graceful hunters and excellent swimmers. Here at TGO, these birds can be found throughout many of the community’s 32 lakes, especially in the early morning and evening hours when fishing activity is highest. Residents often spot them surfacing unexpectedly far from where they first disappeared underwater, adding a little mystery to their quiet but impressive hunting style.

Limpkin

The Limpkin is a tall, wading bird best known for its loud, haunting calls that often echo across Florida wetlands at night. Their unusual cry — sometimes described as a piercing wail or screaming whistle — can surprise newcomers who hear it for the first time around ponds and lakes after dark. With its brown, speckled plumage and long bill, the Limpkin is specially adapted for feeding on apple snails, which it skillfully removes from their shells. Although once uncommon in many areas, Limpkins have become an increasingly familiar sight throughout Florida, including around many of TGO’s lakes and wetland areas.

American Coot

Black-Bellied Whistling Duck

One of Florida’s most unusual and colorful ducks, easily recognized by its long pink legs, chestnut body, black belly, and bright red bill. Unlike many ducks, these birds often perch in trees and are commonly seen traveling in noisy groups. Their high-pitched whistling calls - often heard overhead in the early morning or evening - are what give them their name. Once considered uncommon in much of Florida, Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks have expanded rapidly and are now a familiar sight around TGO.

Momma with her babies - called Bumble Bees

A small, dark waterbird often mistaken for a duck, although it is actually more closely related to rails. Easily recognized by its bright white bill and forehead shield, the American Coot is commonly seen paddling across the ponds and lakes in TGO or diving underwater in search of aquatic plants and small creatures. These birds are frequent visitors throughout TGO’s lakes during the cooler months, often gathering in large groups. While they may appear somewhat clumsy on land, coots are surprisingly strong swimmers and can run rapidly across the water’s surface when taking flight. Their calls are a mix of quirky grunts, clucks, and croaks that add to the lively sounds around Florida wetlands.

The Common Gallinule

Often still called a Moorhen, the Common Gallinule is a colorful marsh bird commonly seen along the edges of lakes throughout TGO. Its dark body, bright red forehead shield, and yellow-tipped bill make it easy to recognize as it walks carefully through shoreline vegetation.

Unlike ducks, Moorhens frequently use their long toes to walk across floating plants and lily pads while searching for insects, seeds, and aquatic vegetation. They are excellent swimmers but usually prefer staying close to cover. Their loud clucks, squawks, and chattering calls are a familiar sound around Florida wetlands, especially during early morning and evening hours.

Egyptian Geese

Not a native to Florida, this exotic-looking waterfowl is originally from Africa and has become increasingly common throughout the state. Easily recognized by their tan coloring, dark eye patches, and pink legs, these birds are often seen grazing on lawns, resting near ponds, or walking confidently through neighborhoods and golf courses.

Egyptian Geese are known for being very vocal and territorial, especially during nesting season. Their loud honking and aggressive behavior toward other birds often make them stand out around lakes and open grassy areas. They have adapted well to developed communities like TGO, where lakes, open spaces, and golf course fairways provide ideal habitat.

Roseate Spoonbill

The Roseate Spoonbill is one of Florida’s most unforgettable birds. Their bright pink coloring and spoon-shaped bill make them instantly recognizable, especially when sunlight highlights their vibrant feathers in flight. They sweep their bills side to side through shallow water to detect prey by touch, feeding on small fish, shrimp, and aquatic insects.

Once considered rare in many parts of Florida, Roseate Spoonbill sightings along the Space Coast have become much more common in recent years. While they are still not seen in TGO as frequently as egrets or ibis, residents occasionally spot them feeding along wetlands, lakes, and shallow shoreline areas — always an exciting sight for bird lovers and photographers alike.

Why These Wading Birds Matter

Wood Stork

The Wood Stork is a large, prehistoric-looking bird with a bald dark head and massive bill. They are federally protected and considered threatened due to wetland loss. Wood Storks feed by touch, walking slowly through shallow water with their bills open until they snap shut on fish or aquatic prey. Despite their somewhat awkward appearance on land, Wood Storks are powerful fliers and often soar high overhead on warm air currents alongside vultures and other large birds. Seeing them in TGO is a reminder of how important healthy wetlands and protected water systems are to Florida’s wildlife.

Herons, egrets, ibis, spoonbills, and storks are more than beautiful birds. They help maintain balance in aquatic ecosystems by controlling fish, insects, crustaceans, and other prey populations.

They also depend heavily on healthy wetlands, shallow ponds, and clean water. When these birds thrive, it often means the ecosystem around them is functioning well.

The next time you drive through TGO or walk near one of our lakes and wetlands, slow down for a moment and truly watch these birds. Their patience, beauty, and quiet presence are part of what makes living alongside nature here so incredibly special.

Hurricane Preparedness - Being Ready Before the Storms Arrive

Hurricane season officially begins June 1 here in Florida, but longtime residents know that the most active and dangerous part of the season usually arrives later - particularly during August and September. While early-season storms can and do occur, history has shown that late summer and early fall are typically when Central Florida sees the greatest hurricane activity.

Because many years pass without a direct hit on The Great Outdoors, it can become easy to feel a little complacent when hurricane season rolls around again. After hearing annual forecasts predicting multiple major storms, some residents may begin to tune out the warnings altogether. However, it only takes one storm to create major impacts, and preparation made ahead of time can make a tremendous difference in safety, comfort, and recovery.

Forecasters are predicting another active Atlantic hurricane season for 2026, with estimates calling for 12–16 named storms, 5–7 hurricanes, and 2–4 major hurricanes. Weather patterns, ocean temperatures, and a developing El Niño will all play a role in how the season develops. While no one can predict exactly where storms will track months in advance, Florida residents know that preparation is simply part of living in paradise.

Hurricane Preparedness Week was observed nationally from May 3 through May 9 this year, and served as an important reminder to review plans and prepare before a storm threatens our area. The annual awareness campaign was created to help families and communities better understand hurricane hazards and reduce the risks associated with severe weather.

One of the most important things residents can do is create a basic hurricane plan well before a storm appears on the radar. Determine where you would go if evacuation became necessary, how you would contact family members, and what supplies you would need if power was lost for several days. Even residents who plan to remain in place should prepare as though they may be without electricity, internet service, fuel access, or air conditioning for an extended period.

Emergency supply kits are another essential part of hurricane preparation. Residents should consider keeping enough supplies on hand to last at least several days. Recommended items include bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, medications, first-aid supplies, portable phone chargers, pet supplies, and important personal documents stored in waterproof containers. It is also wise to have cash available, since ATMs and credit card systems may not function during widespread outages.

For RV owners, hurricane preparation often requires additional planning. Securing awnings, patio furniture, decorations, grills, and loose outdoor items is extremely important before strong winds arrive. Residents should also inspect tie-downs, seals, roof areas, and slide-outs ahead of hurricane season to reduce the risk of damage. If you leave the community during the summer months, make sure someone local can monitor your property should a storm threaten the area.

Homeowners should also review insurance policies before the season becomes active. Many residents are surprised to learn that standard homeowners insurance may not cover flood damage. Understanding deductibles, coverage limits, and policy details before a storm occurs can help avoid confusion and frustration later. Taking updated photos of your home, RV, golf cart, and valuables can also simplify the claims process if damage occurs.

Staying informed during hurricane season is equally important. Residents are encouraged to monitor trusted weather sources such as the National Hurricane Center, local emergency management offices, and reliable television or radio broadcasts. Smartphone weather apps and emergency alerts can provide valuable updates if severe weather develops quickly.

Another important reminder is that hurricanes create more than just wind damage. Heavy rainfall, tornadoes, lightning, and localized flooding can all occur far from the center of the storm. Even weaker tropical systems can produce dangerous conditions, fallen trees, and extended power outages throughout Central Florida.

Fortunately, preparation does not have to be overwhelming. Taking small steps now - before storms begin developing - can greatly reduce stress later. Replacing flashlight batteries, trimming tree limbs, checking generators, reviewing supply kits, and discussing plans with neighbors are all simple actions that can make a meaningful difference.

After all, hurricane preparation is not about fear - it is about peace of mind.

Meet Blue Heron’s Employees...

Savana Zulawski - Serving smiles at the Blue Heron

If you’ve spent much time at the Blue Heron lately, chances are Savana has greeted you with a smile, a laugh, or maybe even a joke about arm wrestling for tips.

Savana originally joined the Blue Heron team in late 2023 before briefly trying another restaurant — but as she quickly discovered, nothing quite compared to the atmosphere here.

“That’s why I’m back,” she said. “I love the people here so much.”

Originally born in Buffalo, Savana moved to Viera as a child before eventually settling in Titusville. Before joining the Blue Heron, she worked at the famously haunted Ashley’s of Rockledge - something she admits she found more fascinating than frightening.

When she’s not serving guests, Savana keeps busy with arts, crafts, painting, sewing, and upcycling vintage clothing. She even runs a small side business selling vintage finds at local markets around Central Florida and Orlando.

And while she jokes about being a “semi-professional arm wrestler,” it’s her fun personality and creative spirit that really stand out. Add in her two beloved cats, Alfie and Meliodis, and you’ve got someone who fits right into the welcoming Blue Heron family. Needless to say, everyone’s pretty happy she came back.

Chrissy’s Catering Corner:

Did you know Pears actually originated in Europe and West Asia. For 2,000 years they were used as an anti-inflamatory and diuretic remedy. Primary facts: Pears contain less than 1 gram of fat and are a good source of fiber and are loaded with antioxidants. Some research has indicated that the particular combination of phytonutrients in apples and pears may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes.

TODAY’S RECIPE: Pear, Apple and Walnut Salad

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 1/2 tablespoons orange juice

1 orange, zested

1/2 cup raisins

4 apples, preferably use 2 to 3 different kinds

2 pears, preferably red and green

2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions: In a large bowl whisk together vinegar, orange juice, zest, and raisins. Core and cube apples and pears. Add fruit and walnuts to a bowl and drizzle with oil. Toss well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving. This salad is delicious on its own or served over a bed of spring greens or spinach.

Each Office Is Independently Owned And Operated

Funny Thing Is… Only At Walmart

Just when I thought I had seen everything at Walmart, the following happened. I call this one, “When 60 or More Equals 20 or Less.”

I had run into the store to buy one gallon of milk. ONE item. I got into the only 20 items or less checkout line open in the entire store. There stood a gentleman in front of me with somewhere between 60-70 items, but don’t get ahead of me because, despite the dopey look on his face and the earbuds in his ears making him oblivious to the remarks of my fellow shoppers, he actually did something darkly brilliant. This guy had the cashier count out 20 items, then paid her cash for them, then count 20 more, then paid for them, ditto, then ditto again. I started getting upset but wait, it gets better.

He finally got to the last ten items, two of which were open top boxes. The cashier rang up the first eight items but when she got to the open top boxes, she began to take these little cans of cat food or something out ONE can at a time. She had to ring up each can separately until she finished the 30 in the first box. I started to chuckle but wait, there’s even more. She looked in the other box, looked at me and rolled her eyes and began to ring up another 30 cans. I couldn’t contain myself. I looked away and started one of those unstoppable laughs that no matter what anyone said or did I couldn’t stop.

The other 20 or so people in line didn’t think it was so funny, but this guy was killing me. While watching him happily stroll off I wondered if he was incredibly stupid or brilliant. Maybe a little of both, but he sure taught me a lesson. I learned that 60 or more CAN equal 20 or less.

A Minute with Meghan… Forget-Me-Not: Brain Health & Alzheimer’s Disease

You forget your keys, something at the grocery store, or why you came into the room. No big deal… forgetfulness is a normal part of aging… right? It can be; or it could be something more. As we age, our brain’s neuroplasticity naturally decreases. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to learn, adapt, and absorb new information. As this process slows, occasional forgetfulness can become more common. But when should we be concerned that it may be something more serious? June is Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, which gives us an opportunity to learn more about Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), the signs and symptoms to look for, and how we can train our brain to decrease the effects of an aging mind.

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease, which means it damages and destroys cells in your brain over time, eventually leading to loss of brain function - including memory and language. AD is caused by a buildup of two proteins in your

Early detection of AD is important because it allows individuals and families to plan ahead...

brain, called amyloid and tau. Amyloid protein sticks together in your brain cells, forming clumps called plaques. Tau proteins twist together in fiber-like strands called tangles. The plaques and tangles prevent neurons from working properly, and block their ability to send electrical and chemical signals back and forth.

Alzheimer’s disease affects approximately 55 million people worldwide; where 1 in 10 people over the age of 65 have it. It is more prevalent in people over the age of 85 (approximately 1 in 3 people). Research shows that early signs of AD can begin 15 years before mild cognitive impairments are noticed, and even longer before the signs of dementia surface. There is no cure for AD, and we still do not fully understand how it develops; although it’s likely not a single factor, but a combination of factors, such as genetics, family history, environmental factors, and lifestyle behaviors.

Memory changes are part of the aging process; however, memory loss that continues to increase is not. There are 10 early signs and symptoms that you should look for: (1) Memory loss that disrupts daily life. (2) Challenges in planning or solving problems. (3) Difficulty completing familiar tasks. (4) Confusion with time or place. (5) Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. (6) New problems with words in speaking and writing. (7) Misplacing things and the inability to retrace steps. (8) Decreased or poor judgment. (9) Withdrawal from work or social activities. (10) Changes in mood or personality. If you notice any of these signs, do not ignore them and talk with your healthcare provider about testing, treatment options and disease management.

Early detection of AD is important because it allows individuals and families to plan ahead, make lifestyle changes that may help slow cognitive decline, and explore treatment

options. Although there is currently no cure for AD, early intervention may help improve symptom management and overall quality of life. Recognizing the warning signs early also allows individuals to establish support systems and connect with important medical, educational, and community resources.

Supporting brain health through healthy lifestyle habits may help reduce the risk of cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. Habits like following a healthy eating plan, getting plenty of physical activity and sleep, staying mentally active, and staying socially connected, can improve brain health and help protect your brain from cognitive decline. Aim to get at least 150 minutes (~30min/day) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, and 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. Engage in continuous cognitive training - like taking a class, learning a new instrument or language, solving puzzles, strategy games, or

reading dense books. Socializing regularly, meeting new people, and being involved in activities with others stimulates your brain and can support emotional well-being.

While occasional forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging, persistent memory loss and cognitive changes should never be ignored. Understanding the warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and taking steps to support brain health may help preserve cognitive function and quality of life as we age. Small daily habits may not only improve how we age, but also help us remain independent, engaged, and mentally sharp for years to come. During Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month this June, consider wearing purple - the official color of Alzheimer’s awareness - to show support for those affected by the disease and to help spark conversations about brain health and early detection.

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 it’s within easy reach.

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

• Put trash out at the curb by 10:00am - 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.

• 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. 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 Station321-264-5048.

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.

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.
