Don't Miss the January Friends of Little Salt Spring Meeting

The Friends of Little Salt Spring would like to thank the Jockey Club for being responsible neighbors to Little Salt Spring. As some of you are aware the discharge from Little Salt Spring flows alongside the western boundaries of the Jockey Club. Some of our newer residents may have no idea that they have fresh spring water flowing though their back yards on its way to the Myakka- hatchee Creek. Little Salt Spring is one of only three year-round flowing springs south of I-4 in a State known for its springs. Like Warm Mineral Springs and Nona Spring (although Nona Spring was filled in to a depth of 8’ by the General Development Corpo- ration it still flows year round) in North Port. Little Salt Spring is, a giant overflowing collapsed sink hole, a geological formation known as a cenote. Both Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Spring are over 200’ deep. Little Salt Spring sits on an 112 acre tract of land called the Little Salt Spring Ecological and Archaeological Pre- serve located at the end of Pan American where you turn onto Spring Haven Drive. Because of the preservative qualities of the site, evidence has been found of humanity’s utilization of the spring for at least 14,000 years. This pristine preservation al- lows us to look at humanity in a time-frame and with such detail found nowhere else in the world! The Friends of Little Salt Spring are currently meeting three times a year at the Jockey Club Clubhouse and will be holding our next meeting January 25th at 7:00 pm. Our guest speaker will be Jeff Moates, President of the Florida Anthropo- logical Society and West Central Region Director for the Florida Public Archaeology Network. Jeff will be speaking about current archaeological public education projects surrounding Little Salt Spring. Our meetings are free and open to the public, so please bring a friend.

ELECTIONS – 2016 By David Casarsa, Vice-President

The first notice of the election and request for candidates was sent to the membership in late December 2015. You may have received, or will shortly receive that notice which will include the forms for Intent for Candidacy and the Candidate Information Sheet. Those seeking election must complete the Intent for Candidacy form. The Can- didate Information Sheet is optional, but should be completed to inform the membership of one’s qualifications and experience. In 2016, there will be seven Board members up for election or re-election. Candidates must submit their Intent for Candidacy and their Candidate Infor- mation Sheet to the Clubhouse no later than 25 January 2016. This year, candidates will be allowed to publish a statement in the Clarion of not more than 300 words stating why they wish to be a member of the Board of Directors. These articles must be sent to the Clarion editor, Margarete Haefele not later than 16 January 2016. Preferred format is a Word document emailed to the Clubhouse at the following address: JockeyClub- [email protected]. This will enable Margarete to add your article directly into the Clarion with little secretarial work. Your article will be submitted as written. It will not be edited (unless there is the potential for libelous remarks) nor will it be corrected for spelling and grammar. This article is an option not an obligation. Candidates will also have the opportunity to speak to the membership at a Meet the Candidates evening to be scheduled in February 2016. A specific date will be forthcoming in the February 2016 edition of the Clarion. If you have administrative, financial or experience in construction/project management; have experience in leadership and management, and are willing to devote your time and effort into making the Jockey Club a community of choice within North Port, you have the skills and traits required to be a member of the Board of Directors. I encourage you to consider this opportunity, to run for office and make your Jockey Club a Community of Choice within North Port.

Money Talks

exercise indoors until the weather improves????? 13 Page 13 PROTECTING YOUR CLUBHOUSE By David Casarsa, Vice President

In the last several months there has been an increase in incidents in and around the Clubhouse that vary from mischief to potentially criminal acts. We are experiencing a changing demographic within our Community. There are more young people, particularly pre-teens and teenagers, some of whom pride themselves in undertaking activities which cannot be better described other than acts of vandalism. I am uncertain if such acts have been perpetrated against individual homes within the Jockey Club. The Clubhouse washrooms have had the toilets deliberately plugged, paper strewn over the floor and urine found in places where, even in a washroom, urine should not be. Children under the age of six (6) must be accompanied by their parents to use the restrooms. During evening hours, when the Club and pool are closed, there is evidence of people entering the washrooms. The two pop machines that were adjacent to the building have been broken into numerous times and the machines stripped of pop and the money therein. There has been a report of theft within the Clubhouse and a police report has been filed accordingly. The Clubhouse cannot continue to operate under these conditions. Effective immediately, the washrooms will only be open during Club operating hours. On evenings and weekends, the doors shall be locked from the inside, denying entry from the exterior. The codes will only work during operating hours. The pop machines have been removed from the outside of the building. The office staff will increase their vigilance on activity within the Clubhouse. The Duty Board Member will continue to check the perimeter of the Clubhouse and be responsible for letting external users in and out of the Clubhouse. Fi- nally, I will undertake the project of replacing our existing security system with an up to date model that will require each member to gain access to the Clubhouse (at any time) through the use of a key card/fob. Each card/fob will be registered to the individual owner and record when he/she enters and leaves the building and the pool area. We will be able to trace entry/exit to the second and have supporting video evidence to both record and warn of illegal entry. . Our Clubhouse rules state that people found on the property after operating hours are trespassing and will be prosecuted. For the most part, we have been lenient on enforcing this regulation, but unfortunately times have changed and this rule shall be enforced. It is with regret that I write this article as I am a proponent of openness, honesty and the enjoyment of our facility by all the membership as often and as frequently as possible. This is now not the case. I would ask the membership to bear with these changes as unappealing as they are. I would also ask you to increase your vigilance of your home and its surroundings and report suspicious activity to the police. Perhaps, with these changes, our security situation will improve and we will be able to relax some of the measures currently in place.

Working together to make the Jockey Club Better Place to live for us all! Page14 14

THIS IS YOUR COMMUNITY By Kathleen Sauro

Do you know that the appearance of the outside of your home is a reflection on who you are? I heard this on the radio today from a landscaping company and I thought how clever is that? I thought about it even more and real- ized that it's not only a reflection on who you are but also on the Jockey Club as a whole.

Let’s make 2016 our Best Year Ever keeping the Jockey Club clean, uncluttered, healthy and attractive to not only our residences but to those who are looking to buy into our community. Please follow the Bi Laws and ECC Rules and Regulations.

ECC is in need of volunteers, so please call the office or stop in, leaving your contact information and I will be in touch with you asap after the 1st of the year.

Best Wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year to all!! It's not only a reflection on who you are but also on the Jockey Club as a whole.

~*~ INVITATION TO WOMEN OF ALL AGES ~*~

Here's to NEW BEGINNINGS! Just as we are starting off a new year in 2016, we are also inviting you to join our new startup group called the HAPPY HATTERS. We plan to meet monthly for FUN and FRIENDSHIP! Many of our events will be held in the Jockey Club's Clubhouse (corner of Pan American Blvd. and Appomattox in North Port). You do not have to be a resident to join, but... you must be a woman (sorry; no men or kids), who is willing to participate on a regular basis. Part of the group is expected to be snowbirds while others will be permanent residents, but meeting less frequently during summer. Our plans include all sorts of activities including luncheons (catered, potluck, etc.), crafting, birthday and holiday parties, games, rebel-rousing, pool parties, and sharing our interests with one another. As we get to know each other, we will discover what activities prove to be most popular among us. At each event, we will be leaving our imaginary coats, heavy and wet with all the concerns in our lives, at the front door where you can pick them up again as you leave. But while we gather, we will focus on positive fun together. Our introductory group will meet in the clubhouse on Thursday, Jan- uary 14th from noon to 3 o'clock. We will provide an informal lunch for $5, part of which goes to- wards the use of the facilities. For this reason we will need a head count in advance, so please call and register with the Jockey Club office at 941-426-3800 by January 8. Please give them your full name, phone number, and how many women are in your party. And please, should you discover you are unable to attend, let them know at the office as well. Be sure to arrive by noon, as we will start with our lunch, and there will be DOOR PRIZES and handouts, after which we will settle down to learn more about our future plans. Dress casual, but wear a hat of any kind, big or small, silly or chic, anything you want! Our aim is to keep our expenses as low as possible, so don't worry about far or costly field trips. We want to keep everything as accessible as possible for all. We will also have our own webpage on Facebook so that we can communicate and share photos, etc. Let's get this year off to a HAPPY START!!!
