General Manager’s Report
DAVID GILLESPIE
The Wheelhouse has recently rolled out a new menu available daily and invites members to stop in and check out some new items.
We want to remind members to please sign your dining chits before leaving and include a gratuity if you so choose. We’re pushing the service staff to get your dining checks to you in a timely fashion to assist with your closing out your meal with minimum wait times.
Please support your food and beverage staff, and your dining venues as much as you can.
Bella and the tennis department want to remind all tennis players that four courts will be closed briefly at the end of September for much needed work on the clay surfaces on stadium main court, and courts 1,11, and 12. The courts will be resurfaced due to the excessive amounts of mold and algae on those playing surfaces due to moisture from mother nature and the hydro systems under the playing surfaces. We’ve tried to resurface four courts per year due to similar circumstances on all courts and strive to keep the playing surfaces first rate for our members and guests.
The Golf department has finished its agronomic work on the courses for the summer. We had four weeklong closings during the summer months, for the muchneeded agronomic work to keep the course in shape and keep the grass growing as it should. Aerification, verticutting, and scalping of greens, along with the application of nematode control chemicals, were all done at different times over the last four months. Rocky appreciates the patience of our year-round golfing members, for those times we had to close to perform the maintenance required.
The Marina will have work commencing on repairing and replacing the A dock damage from last fall’s hurricane, beginning in the week or two after Labor Day. Please be aware there might be some inconvenience to boaters, as this will impact boats coming in and out to the river due to the barges and equipment that will be involved.
Safe travels back to sunny Florida.
Landings Duplicate Bridge Club
BILL FERRIS
As most Landings Bridge Club members are aware, the club has followed its normal procedure of playing no games over the summer. As mentioned last month, the newly elected Board of Sue Wotton, Bill Rush, Pam Dahlberg, Barb Coneys, Jerry Poissant, and Bill Ferris have agreed that we should continue the same starting time in 2025-26 as the previous year—every Monday at 9 a.m. in the Garden Room of the Helm Club straight through to the first Monday of May 2026. That doesn’t mean that the regular game time will never change. But following informal discussion over the summer, the Board is happy
with keeping the hour and day the same as this past year.
Over the summer, many of us played online BBO games near our summer homes or at the Southeast Carolina Club of Clubs, with whom we have a financial partnership. As part of this arrangement, they provide us with a slight cut of the $6 online fee players are charged for each session.
Our first day of this coming 202526 next season will be the second Monday in October, October 13, 2025. Plan to play in the Southwest Regional at the Sanibel Inner Harbour Marriott from October 6-12, (https:// district9acbl.org/sanibel/) and continue the progress you have made towards various Life Master levels and other awards! Just follow the signs to the hotel south on McGregor Boulevard and take a right towards Sanibel, stopping just short of the Caloosahatchee bridge to the island to take a right north along the Fort Myers side. As that tournament ends, we will begin our new season the very next Monday at the Helm Club.
Chess and Checkers Club News
JOHN WINTERS
We are very close to the end of summer. Club meetings during this time are usually attended by at least two members. When our snowbird members start showing up for meetings, it should be more fun for everyone.
I’ve been playing some chess puzzles every morning over breakfast. They are fun to play. And they are free! Look them up on Chess.com. Their website will give you directions on how to sign up.
The U.S. Chess Federation publishes a magazine once a month. It is called Chess Life. It contains interesting articles about chess. Tom Poulos has donated a stack of his magazine copies to the
club. They are in the same location as our chess sets. You’re welcome to take a copy and look it over. Maybe this will evolve into a chess library for the club. I have several chess books I can donate.
I have an idea for a club project: Challenge a chess club at another gated community to a tournament. Match our four best players against their four best players. Let’s hear some other ideas for club projects. We enjoy just playing chess at our weekly meetings, but extra club projects will add to the fun.
Don’t forget to protect your king – and your queen, too!
JIGGS AND JIGS
Landings Fishing Club
LEROY FLEMING
“Bringing Up Father” was an American Comic Strip created by George McManus. The famous funny fights were between Jiggs, an Irish immigrant who won the lottery for $1 million dollars, and his wife Maggie who wanted to use the money to climb the social ladder.
Jiggs was featured in a comic strip than ran in newspaper for nearly nine decades.
The cartoon strip ran in newspapers for 87 years, from January 1913 to May 2000. Jiggs wanted to go out with his old buddies while Maggie wanted to bring him up into society, hence the name, “Bringing Up Father.” This humor found its way to Hollywood and was portrayed in several films. Jiggs, a former bricklayer and Maggie, a former launderess, didn’t know how to deal with their new-found wealth.
“The jig is up” was an expression that originated in 1590 coming to prominence during the Elizabethan Period. This saying was used to describe a trick or joke. When discovered, people would say “the
jig is up.” Later there was a lively dance called a jig.
Another type of jig is often used by woodworkers as a template to make an object of the same size and shape. Early crime stoppers used the same expression when apprehending a person.
The Landing Fishing Club members use a jig of a different type. It’s a freshwater or saltwater type of fishing lure. A jig is a fishing hook with a weighted head usually made of lead or tungsten. The weight helps your bait sink quickly. Jig heads come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Anglers often pair jig heads with soft plastic baits such as shrimp, minnows, or worms. Hopefully this creates a lifelike presentation that fish find irresistible. Saltwater jigs are specially designed to handle the harsh environment of the ocean. Versatility is the key word for these jigs. Use them in shallow flats, deep channels or rocky structures.
Techniques vary from slow jigging (up and down motion), fast retrieve, casting, or trolling. Control your jig with knowledge of depth, wind, tide, and currents. This control increases the chances of you catching your targeted species. Try to match your proper jigs to the physical
environment, top of the water, shallow submerged, or on the bottom to get the best results.
Some examples of jigs are: 1. Round head, the most common. 2. Shaky head, flat base that stands up on the bottom. 3. Swim bait, used with soft plastics. 4. Bullet or cone head, cuts through the water quickly. 5. Weedless, used when fishing in heavy weed or grass cover. There are many, many weight differences for jigs.
Whether you’re a weekend angler or a seasoned pro, jig heads are a must have tool for success on the waters. Stay patient as jig fishing is all about presentation so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Ladies’ 9-Holer Golf
DEBRA BATES
After Friday morning play, I like to review all the winners, scores, and card draws. It seemed this season I would happily see fellow Steamboat Bend resident Bonnie Fritch’s name somewhere on that list. Bonnie and I both came to The Landings and started playing about the same time.
Bonnie and her husband, Gary, originally hail from Duluth, Minnesota. They dated through high school and college, and married afterwards. They are blessed with two amazing daughters, Stephanie and April, and have seven grandchildren.
They were introduced to The Landings when Gary was playing baseball in Fort Myers, and friends, Roseanne and Mas Fukushima, invited them to The Landings. I clearly remember the day Mas called Gary and said, “I found the condo you should buy.”
Bonnie Fritch with her big catch!
Fritch
and her sister, Tammy, enjoyed the trip to Africa.
Bonnie and Gary, along with Bonnie’s sister, Tammy, and her husband traveled to South Africa this summer. They visited wineries, an animal refuge, and Victoria Falls. They experienced safaris in Botswana, and went fishing in the Zambezi River. Bonnie described the unforgettable sight of monkeys,
elephants, zebras, and impalas roaming their lodgings.
Special thank you to Pattie Parrett and Cheri Swartz for August’s check-in and Susie Duca and Cindy Brown for September check-ins. I enjoyed my time doing check-in. This is a great way to put names to faces, especially if you are new to the 9-Hole League.

LLGA-18 Ladies’ Golf
MARY ANN SPRY
Happy Fall and welcome to the beginning of all LLGA-18 league play for 2025-2026. Renewals should have been sent to Cathy Steeves, our membership chair, and new folks can get information from the Pro shop. We are especially excited to meet our new members.
It is time to sign up for the “Welcome Back,” our first big event which is always enjoyed by everyone getting reacquainted after the summer break. Go to Foretees to sign up for this and all other league days. Our Golf Director, Mark Wehrman,
has made it easy for us to sign up and communicate with the pro shop letting us know course and range conditions and any other designations whether open or closed.
Lynne Denk, our League President, sends out information to all our members each week, so everyone should be aware of any results or concerns.
On November 19, we will be hosting our “Fall Partner” golf play day. This is the time to invite your playing partner and
be ready to enjoy a fun and challenging round of golf concluding with one of Chef Richard Schultz’s fantastic luncheons.
Having just attended a day-long event sponsored by Titleist, the representative said that the most important piece of equipment in your bag is your ball ! Do you have a favorite? The other thing, check your grips. So often we overlook this important part of our equipment. Our golf shop has a great selection of grips, and the employees are most accommodating to replace those slick grips for some great feeling ones that may make a difference in your score. Your golf ball is an important piece of equipment.
The Ryder Cup will be played in September, so we are excited to watch this tournament with the best of our U.S. golfers. So much press has been given to see if the Captain, Keegan Bradley, will be a playing captain. However, the decision was made, and he will be a great Captain coaching his teams to a victory. This is always an amazing professional event to watch.
Enjoy each day and don’t let the Goblins get you! Happy Halloween!

ARIEL
HAZEL JONES hazelwhitejones@gmail.com
The owners who live at Ariel yearround have enjoyed gathering for summer dinners at The Landings restaurants for several years. It gives owners a chance to let someone else cook dinner and helps support our restaurants and staff during the slower months of the year.
Four summer dinners are held each year, with the first in June and the last in September. The August dinner brought more than 40 residents to the Wheelhouse Grille for a fun evening. The hosts for the night notify the Wheelhouse staff two nights in advance how many will be attending so that they can set aside a section for the Arielites.
The attendees enjoy a casual cocktail hour and do a bit of table hopping to catch up with their neighbors. Several have opined that it is strange how seldom neighbors see each other since they all share the elevators. However, schedules are completely different and for many, this is the only time they see their neighbors in a month.
Ariel residents keep the staff busy serving their food and drinks.
The staff reserves tables for the Ariel residents.
Ariel residents agree that this is a fun way to build a sense of community, both for Ariel and for The Landings, our greater community. Owners are already looking forward to our final dinner of the summer season, scheduled for September 25.
SCHOONER
Another month of celebrations, adventures, and, sadly, losses. The passing of both Fred and Jonnie Ockerlund within two months leaves a HUGE vacuum in the village. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was blessed to have nearly daily contact with Jonnie this summer, moments filled with laughter, tears and adventures including her first pedicure in more than 90 years! Now the last orchid has flowered in our yard; the last key lime pie of literally hundreds is in the freezer; the last Swedish pancakes with loganberry jam, powdered sugar and

a squeeze of lemon devoured; my last attempt at bananas foster salvaged; and the last raspberry pillow cookie delivered. They say food not only nourishes our bodies, it also nourishes our soul. “Food is love.” If that is true than Jonnie O was pure love through and through.
Fortunately, we only lost Marilyn Harlan for a matter of minutes this summer and now have her back for a second of nine lives! Now the matriarch, she was able to make it to her Annual Family Gathering the first Saturday of August each year in Coloma, Michigan which is always a great time. Marilyn says there were thirteen this year “and it is hard to believe they are all getting older while she is getting younger!”
Jonnie Ockerlund on her 96th birthday.
Marilyn Harlan’s Family Reunion took place in Coloma, Mich.
Also getting younger is Larry Wagner who celebrated his 84th birthday July 30th with Jackie and their sons Jimmy and Ronnie in Wisconsin. They went up for a short visit which has ended up being several weeks long!
Linda Tucker knows how to stay young. She spent part of her summer in Michigan at her lake house northwest of Detroit. When her great

MARINERS COVE
The Cove has been very quiet this month as many of our neighbors are either up north for the summer or traveling the country and abroad.

A special thanks to Denis Fourgeau-Ciers for all his hard work on the entire Cove’s mailboxes. He personally inspected each box and made the necessary repairs, as needed.
STEAMBOAT BEND EAST
Dan and Jean Hickey had a fun adventure touring the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky, along with several other couples from The Landings. They began their adventure in Lexington, KY and visited six different distilleries. One of the highlights of their tour was the Maker’s Mark distillery, where you can dip your own bottle in wax, which is their signature feature. There was also a Chihuly glass exhibition, which is always beautiful.
From there, on to Nashville to see all the sights. They toured the Country Music Hall of Fame, then had a special treat as the current popular country singer, Jelly Roll, performed at the Grand Ole Opry. After his performance, they toured the Opry backstage and were surprised by all the history to be seen.
Pat and I visited the Dallas-Fort Worth area to meet our granddaughter, Annabella, who arrived May 15 of this year. Her big brother, Rayden, is a big helper. We wish the kids weren’t so far away but treasured our time together.

Carol Donohue, front, and Jo Wagner, Barb Johnson and Missy Fisher (back, from left) enjoy water aerobics.
Fort Myers had a lot of rain during one of the hurricane weekends recently, so knowing that it was coming, Carol Donohue and Missy Fisher got down to the pool to get their water aerobics in before the storm. It’s wonderful to know that water aerobics continues in SBE. Many in our village love to stay healthy enjoying this form of exercise, even when we sometimes joke that our mouths get
most of the workout and we almost always talk about food!
We recently had a conversation about what we’re looking forward to when visiting our winter home in Southwest Florida during the coming season. So, we’ve created a “To Do List.” What would you like to add? Email me at callifleur1955@gmail.com to share what’s on your list.
• We both enjoy walking on the boardwalks at The Audubon Corkscrew Bird Sanctuary and the Six-Mile Cypress Slough.
• Attend a Yankees/Red Sox/Twins Spring Training game.
• Attend the Community Concerts and a play or two at the Barbara Mann Theater.
• Visit the Barnum and Bailey Circus Museum in Sarasota.
Greg is looking forward to increased participation of pickleball players and leagues. Getting lights on the courts would help boost that effort. Golfing on Wednesday afternoons with the Moodys are fun. Wednesdays are also great fun getting together at our SBE Pool Parties. It’s a great way to meet new neighbors as well as enjoy the company of cherished friends.
Carol loves being in the water for water aerobics and swimming laps at the Helm Club Pool. Although it starts a bit early, it’s worth getting out for the 9-Hole Ladies Golf group. The highlight is Sweethearts Golf. In January, Carol will again plan some
watercolor classes, this time having a special class for interested guys, as well as the regular one for women.
Shopping is always a treat at Victoria’s in Bonita Springs. And Saturday Mornings are a good time to stroll the Farmer’s Market at Cape Coral.
I also plan to visit the Naples Botanical Garden and the Naples Zoo. I have a recommendation for lunch at the Botanical Café: The Wagyu Beef “Fogg” Burger makes my mouth water, just thinking about it!
Photo credit to The Café Website, where you can find the recipe if you want to make it at home.
Let us know what is on your “To Do List.” We’re certainly open to your ideas for putting “Life in your years.” The Landings and Southwest Florida are a great place to explore and be active.

As summer winds down and the new season is upon us, it’s a good time to share some updates and highlights from our neighbors and families before we turn to village business.
Community Notes
Rick and Heidi Camper welcomed their son Ben and his wife Camille for a three-week visit this summer, along with their two boys, Caden (age 8) and Bryce (age 3). It was a lively time for the family, and everyone enjoyed having the little ones around.
The Magee family – Peter, Patty, Peter Jr., and their daughter Kristen – spent a week in Trawler. During their stay they enjoyed time with friends throughout the community, including special get-togethers with Cheryl and Jon Box, Richard and Pat Lally, and with Patti and me. It was wonderful to see them back and to share those visits together.
The Camper family visit.
Rob and Sue Streeter enjoyed a two-week trip up north, where they had a wonderful time visiting and reconnecting. A highlight of their trip was Rob’s 50th high school reunion, which made the getaway especially memorable.
This past month Patti and I enjoyed a family reunion in Myrtle Beach, SC. We flew on Breeze Airways direct from Fort Myers (RSW) to Wilmington, NC, then drove about 90 minutes south to the Dunes Village Resort. It was wonderful to see everyone and spend time together.

Trawler Village Updates. Pool Landscaping
The Areca Palms behind the pool have been removed due to root disease and safety concerns. They have been replaced with 10-13 foot tall Clusia plants, with soil also replaced. The back of the pool area was closed during this work and has since reopened. The plants will take time to fill in and form a full barrier.
Pool Landscaping Project
Walkways / Elias Brothers
Discussions with Elias Brothers did not result in an agreement. Elias has proposed re-grading the walkways at an estimated cost of $550,000. The matter has been referred to our attorneys for further action.
Staircase Projects
Two buildings (4574 and 4585) have completed staircase repairs. Work is
Ralph Palumbo with his wife Tara and daughter Brooklyn, alongside my daughter Nicole.
Patti and Al Palumbo
still needed for 4586 and the two-story buildings, with an estimated cost of $80,000. The Board is planning to authorize this project, with funds available in reserves.
Reserve Study Update
The Board intends to move forward with an updated Reserve Study this fall. The goal is to better reflect actual needs and to help in planning next year’s budget.
Insurance
The Village is in the process of obtaining updated insurance quotes. Results are expected in early fall. The Board is hopeful for a reduction in premium costs in line with other Landings villages.
Landings Master Budget
At the community level, The Landings scheduled its budget meetings for September 5. Members should be aware that a $1,536 assessment and a dues increase are expected for 2026.
WINDJAMMER
Eva and Paul Christian had just moved from East Mainmast Court to a beautiful new home on Windjammer Lane when they got ready to leave on a three-week trip to Denmark and Norway. They were celebrating the 40th anniversary of friendship with their friend
EVA BELL evabell81@yahoo.com
Rikke. Eva and Paul had hosted Rikke, then 17 years old, as their first foreign exchange student 40 years ago. They have stayed in close contact with Rikke all these years. Except for the years of COVID, they have visited each other every year. As a matter of fact, Rikke’s family has been visiting The Landings since the 1980s.
All agreed the climb to the top is harrowing at times, but the view is worth the effort.
Eva and Paul started their journey at Rikke’s home in Hundested (which translates to Dog Place in English), a lovely suburb of Copenhagen. There they visited with Rikke, her husband Bent, their daughter Karla, and their son Lukas. Karla’s boyfriend Oscar joined them on their trip to Oslo, Norway and surrounding areas. Besides other sightseeing trips they all went on a
five-hour, five-mile hike up to famous Pulpit Rock in Stavanger. It towers 604 meters above the Lysefjord, and it is Norway’s most famous hike, one of three major Lysefjord hikes. Eva said that it was a climb rather than a hike, but the worst were all the people on a very narrow path going up and down this mountain. It was downright dangerous. When they all arrived at the top, the view was breathtaking and well worth the effort. We are glad to have Eva and Paul back safely here in Windjammer Village now.
posted on the bulletin boards one week prior to the event.
We hope to see you all there.
Decorative Lighting installed
Now that the Taffrail garages are finished, decorative fixtures have been mounted in the front of the building to light the surroundings so residents can safely enter and exit their garages. Spotlights have also been installed above the trash receptacles and on the left side above the parking area.
Even the area for trash receptacles looks dramatic with the new lighting.
First Sunday-Funday of the Season
Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 19, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Join your neighbors and friends at Picnic Pointe for the Windjammer Octoberfest. Invitations with details will be emailed to all residents and
Once all owners have returned from their travels, the Board plans a casual gathering to celebrate the completion of the building and to thank the residents for their patience during the rebuilding process.
