VCC CELEBRATES 24 YEARS OF SERVICE

The residents of VCC have been helping to keep Lee County clean for more than 20 years. February 27 marks 24 years that residents of Country Creek have been cleaning their portion of Corkscrew Road.

VCC’s clean-up efforts began in 2002. Since its inception, the Villages at Country Creek have collected more than 720 bags of trash. This is the equivalent of 21.66 tons of trash collected over a 24-year period. Collectively, 145 clean-ups were conducted by VCC residents between 2002 and 2026. This is a combined 84.1 miles of roadway clean-up. Country Creek volunteers have dedicated 684 hours to clean-up since 2002.

There was a hiatus that occurred for a brief time prior to the resurrection of the program in February 2025. Within the last year, we have collected 51 bags equaling 1.53 tons of trash. Eighteen hours of time over the last few months were dedicated to these clean-up efforts.

In addition to involvement in Lee County’s Adopt-A-Road Program, Country Creek is part of an 11-group cohort that cleans up various areas of Estero, which

includes the segments along Corkscrew Road. The other areas are Three Oaks Parkway, Estero Parkway, and the Countymaintained portion of Coconut Road. Many of these groups also work with Engage Estero, which was established in 2020. Country Creek is part of an interconnected network of State and Local volunteers who dedicate their time to these efforts. The first Lee County AdoptA-Road Program began in 1990. Today, there are 311 segments of roadways that are cleaned and managed by volunteers.

Happy 24th Anniversary Country Creek!

The CCLGA annual charity event was held on 2/12. Lynda Waltho and Sherrie Araskog cochaired the event, which raised over $15,000 for the Partners for Breast Cancer Care. The theme for the event was Peace, Love and Golf.

131 golfers completed the charity golf event in around 4 hours, enjoying a variety of games throughout the 18 holes. One game involved playing with a colored ball that would drop your total score by two strokes if you managed to keep it for the entire time. Our golf pro John Alfuth raised $5 per golfer by driving the ball for the ladies onto or near the green on 15. He paid out 10 places for those who participated in the scramble.

Tennis Update

FROM KRISTEN SALERNO

From October 10 through December 10, Country Creek’s men’s 65+ 3.0 tennis team played in the Bonita league and won the Championship banner.

PICTURED ARE PHIL

A tribute to our original 3.0 Tennis team at VCC in 2008. Thank you ladies for starting a wonderful program!

LEFT TO RIGHT:

FROM CAPTAIN ROE BRUSH

The Country Creek Woman’s BonEro 50+ Tennis League is still in first place! BonEro stands for Bonita and Estero combined. What I like about the BonEro League is that all the Clubs we play are close to Country Creek. We play Grandezza, Lighthouse Bay, Belle Lago and Estero Country Club at The Vines.

We have been having an exciting season with quite a few close matches and many 10 point tiebreakers to finish the match. We have brought back a popular way to celebrate when all three courts win. We “swept” the day and celebrated with a “Sweep Party.” It’s a gathering of all the teams to celebrate the big win like a happy “2 hours” with all your tennis friends. Everyone brings an appetizer, their own drinks and the fun begins.

We can always use new players, so if you have any interest in tennis, come by the tennis courts and talk to someone about how to get started. We have social tennis Monday, Wednesday and Friday for women and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for men.

We have leagues on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The schedule is on the tennis bulletin board.

If you can’t join, come and watch. We would love to have you.

FROM CAPTAIN JOAN BLASHKE

Country Creek’s 70s tennis team is half way into their 8 week season with the Bonita League. We have been having very competitive and exciting matches on all three courts. After a victory sweep of all three courts on February 11, our team has tied for first place with three other teams.

Committee Corner

COMMON GROUNDS COMMITTEE

BJ SNYDER

Time is moving quickly—spring is nearly here. You’ve likely observed improvements in ground care and beautification at VCC, thanks to coordinated efforts by vendors, Deadheaders, and Volunteers.

Since January 2026, core lawn care, trimming, and debris removal have improved in common areas, with crews now hand raking and removing debris instead of power blowing into hedge lines.

Below are just a few of the completed beautification projects:

• The swale behind the homes on Country Barn Drive: This swale was overgrown, had not been tended to in quite some time, and was full of debris, dead trees and vines, diseased palms, and overgrown plants. The swale has now been cleaned out which will allow any water backups to flow properly as the swale was designed to do. A quick reminder: please do not discard trimmings, plant debris, or trash in the swales and common areas.

• The first tree purchased through the Commemorative Tree Program was planted. The resident purchasing a tree in this program requested planting on Country

Barn Drive, just north of the side gate on Three Oaks. The tree selected is a beautiful Hong Kong Orchid. There are many more spaces available for tree planting. Please contact the office for additional information.

• And, last but not least: the Fern Garden Renovation is completed. Are you looking for a relaxing spot to take a short break during your walk? Or maybe a quiet, peaceful location to enjoy reading a few chapters in that good book? Or just a convenient setting to get together for conversation and/or beverages with your friends? Stop by the Fern Garden and enjoy the serenity and charm of our own little park.

So, what is next on the Common Grounds “to do” list? The next large project on the schedule is the relandscaping of our entrances. and exits to VCC. This project will take several weeks to complete – but when finished will provide a refreshed, cohesive look for the entrances. The Common Grounds Committee is excited about moving forward on this longawaited project and is looking forward to the updated and polished appearance of the new landscaping.

Become a Deadheader

LISA SPRINGER

Do you enjoy working with your hands, being outdoors, making new friends and contributing to your community? Then Deadheaders may be the group for you. Each week, Deadheaders gather to weed plant beds, pull up dying flowers and shrubs, plant new greenery and in other ways spruce up Country Creek landscaping.

Deadheaders meet on Mondays and Wednesdays, typically working one hour from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM, but there are no attendance requirements to be part of the group. Many volunteers work one day per week and/or not every week. You are encouraged to participate as little or as often as fits your schedule.

The rewards of being a Deadheader go far beyond a free pink shirt. Our volunteers take pride in their contributions to our community, knowing they are helping to beautify Country Creek, and meet new friends who share their passion for nature and community service. There are plenty of opportunities to socialize at monthly Deadheader Happy Hour events at the Club and at special events such as the Deadheaders Golf Outing and Community Service Day, where Deadheaders play a lead role.

To join Deadheaders, please contact Mary Marrone (Esteronymill@sprectrum.net) or Barb McNally (5bjrmc@gmail.com). Your name will be added to our email list and you will receive notifications of that week’s landscaping plan and work sites.

Mahjongg Lessons Here At Country Creek

MARGARET FARMAR

Several weeks ago I posted a request on the VCC Facebook group page looking for other “newbies” to play some Mahjongg. I was pleasantly surprised by how much interest there was in learning and participating. Luckily for me, two very competent instructors came forward, Jody Egan (my personal mahjongg mentor) and Chris Young. They both have generously donated their time and expertise. Currently we have around 40 women (men you can also come) playing and learning twice a week. Mondays from 10:3012 in the cabana, and Wednesdays from 2-3:30 on the patio. Several other experienced players have stepped up to become our “helpers.” People come when their schedule allows. No one is committed on a specific day.

I have set up this group using the TeamReach app. The name of our group is MahjVcc, with the group code: MJCC2026. This is a very handy tool for communicating amongst ourselves. Individuals can contact anyone who is registered on Team Reach and organize a small or large group for play. All are welcome to join, to have fun and to learn, perhaps eventually joining some of the experienced players that meet in the clubhouse on Monday and Friday afternoons.

Download the TeamReach app (I understand the Bocce group also uses it) and use the code above to join. We also use this app to organize the Ladies Social Tennis group that meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If you are interested or need more information, feel free to reach out to me, or better yet, just come and watch on Monday or Wednesday, or both!

VILLAS LADIES BRUNCH

SUSAN D’ALESSANDRO

On February 6 the Villas hosted a ladies brunch with the theme of “Winter Blues…Florida Edition.” Creekside was decorated with all colors of blue from the decor to the outfits worn by the attendees. The menu consisted of chicken salad on a croissant, pasta salad and a yogurt parfait with berries. The women also enjoyed Mimosas.

As part of the luncheon we all learned some interesting facts about the beginnings of Country Creek. Sheryce and Pat created beautiful seashells decorated in blue and white which were given to all the attendees, and there was a prize to the person who sat where there was a special seashell.

Thank you to Sheryce Quinn, Pat Roberts and Debbie Pattison for all their hard work putting this brunch together. Also kudos to Rafael and Chef Kwaze for such a delicious menu.

It was such a fun time celebrating “blue skies and sunshine in the month of February!” where we are all so lucky to live!

Butterflies of SW Florida

LOIS CHRISTENSEN

Southwest Florida has the perfect warm climate to host an abundant year-round array of butterflies (approximately 85 species). Our area features a number of iconic species such as the Zebra Longwing, Monarch, and Gulf Fritillary. Key habitats and gardens, often planted with milkweed and passion vine support these species. Populations are most active during the warmer, wetter summer months.

While it is sometimes thought that the name butterfly was created from the phrase “flutter-by,” the word actually derives from Old English (butorfleoge) and similar names in Old Dutch and Old High German. Butterflies are distributed worldwide except Antarctica, totaling some 18,500 species.

Butterflies are insects and, like all insects, their bodies are made up of three sections: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. At the top of the head are the antennae which vary from species to species. These are sensory organs which detect chemicals in the air - to help the butterfly find food, or a mate. Butterflies have compound eyes which are made up of lots of tiny lenses. They can detect light and dark and color, and they are able to detect movement in many directions at once. The mouth parts of the butterfly enable them to feed. They feed on nectar using a long, drinking strawlike feature called a proboscis.

They can detect light and dark and color, and they are able to detect movement in many directions at once.

The middle part of the butterfly is called the thorax. This is where the body parts that enable the butterfly to move around the environment are found. Like all insects, butterflies have six legs. Two pairs of wings (forewings and hindwings) are attached to the thorax and function like a single pair during flight. The wings are made up of tiny overlapping scales.

The abdomen is where the butterfly’s life sustaining functions happen. It contains the digestive system and the reproductive organs. Down the sides of the abdomen are tiny holes called spiracles, which enable the butterfly to breathe.

Butterflies have a four-stage life cycle and undergo a complete metamorphosis. Adults lay eggs on plant foliage on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, expands its wings to dry, and flies off. Never try to help an emerging butterfly. It needs to follow

nature and dry out its wings before it can fly.

The colorful patterns on many butterfly wings tell potential predators that they are toxic. The color of butterfly wings is derived from tiny structures called scales, each of which have their own pigments.

Butterflies feed primarily on nectar from flowers. Some also derive nourishment from pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit, dung, decaying flesh, and dissolved minerals in wet sand or dirt. Butterflies are important as pollinators for some species of plants. In general, they do not carry as much pollen load as bees, but they are capable of moving pollen over greater distances. Adult butterflies consume only liquids, ingested through the proboscis.

They sip water from damp patches for hydration and feed on nectar from flowers, from which they obtain sugars for energy, and sodium and other minerals vital for reproduction. Several species of butterflies need more sodium than may be provided by nectar and are attracted by sodium in salt. They sometimes land on people, attracted by the salt in human sweat. Some butterflies also visit dung and scavenge rotting fruit or carcasses to obtain minerals and nutrients.

Never try to help an emerging butterfly.

(continued on page 26)

Common butterfly species in Southwest Florida are:

• Zebra Longwing: The Florida state butterfly, recognizable by black-and-white striped wings, often seen in shaded areas and gardens.

• Monarch: found year-round with high activity during migration in spring and fall.

• Gulf Fritillary: Bright orange, often abundant in summer and fall.

• White Peacock: A tropical, white-and-tan butterfly common in open, sunny areas.

• Giant Swallowtail: A very large, dark swallowtail with yellow stripes.

• Zebra Swallowtail: Distinctive black-and-white striped swallowtail, found near pawpaw plants.

• Atala: A rare, small, black butterfly with bright metallic blue spots and a red abdomen. (While rare, I’ve seen a bunch of them on Fort Myers Beach in the area of the Mound House.)

• Schaus’ Swallowtail: A critically endangered species found in South Florida habitats.

• Queen: Similar to the Monarch but darker; they frequent milkweed.

• Malachite: A large, tropical-looking butterfly with green and black mottled wings.

Host plants to attract butterflies:

• Passion Vine: Essential for Zebra Longwings and Gulf Fritillaries.

• Milkweed: Vital for Monarchs and Queens.

• Wild Lime: Host plant for the Giant Swallowtail.

• Cigar Flower/Firebush: Nectar sources for many species.

JUST FOR LAUGHS...

A PERFECT MARRIAGE?

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other, except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day, the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. “When we were to be married,” she said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.”

tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. “Honey,” he said, “that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?”

“Oh,” she said. “That’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back
