Volunteer of the Quarter The TPCA Board of Directors selected Bill Pearson for the Employee/Volunteer of the Quarter for the 1st Quarter of Bill was born on the Island of Manhattan in New York City. Bill s family moved to Stamford, Connecticut and Bill graduated from the Jim Wright Technical School in Stamford. It is there that Bill gained a tremendous knowledge of the construction business and he decided to concentrate on the electrical side of the construction business. In 1967 Bill married his lovely wife, Linda, and moved to Norwalk, Connecticut. They went on to raise three beautiful daughters, Jenifer, Kim, and Bonnie. Bill worked as an electrician and as an electrical construction supervisor in Norwalk until 1985, when he opened his own electrical business, Pearson Electric. He remained in business there until June of 2000 when he moved to Tidewater. His daughter Bonnie worked in the business and she continues to run the business today. Kim also remained in Connecticut, while Jenifer moved to South Carolina and is currently a Registered Nurse at Waccamaw Hospital. Because Bill was deeply involved in his career, he decided to become deeply involved in his new community as well. In 2002 he chaired the Monthly Owners Meetings and was a member of the Security Committee. In 2004 he became a member-at-large for the TPCA Board of Directors and in 2005 became the Board President. From 2005 to the present Bill has been the Tournament Director and a Trustee of the TCTC and from 2006 until the present he has been the Chair of the Promotions Committee. Under Bill s leadership the TCTC has profound impacts on the lives of many people in the Grand Strand area.

The Board of Director meeting schedule for 2014 is: Friday, September 12, 2014 Friday, November 14, 2014 All meetings will commence at 9:00 a.m. at the Tidewater Administration Building. Tidewater Plantation Community Association Design Review Board Nancy Hudson, Chairperson Recently the subject of artificial pine straw was reviewed by the Natural Resource Committee and the Design Review Board. Textraw is a synthetic pine straw made from recycled polypropylene. During the presentation the representatives stated that Textraw should not be used where there is a wealth of natural pine straw. Tidewater is considered a natural pine forest and is naturally blessed with an abundance of pine straw. Another factor considered was how and where to recycle the synthetic pine straw. There are products that occasionally come to light and initially sound enticing, however, the synthetic pine straw and rubber mulch, although made out of recycled materials, leave a lasting impression on our ecological footprint. After reviewing the pros and cons of Textraw and taking into account the Natural Resource Committee s recommendation, the DRB disallowed the inclusion of synthetic pine straw to our natural landscape materials. The DRB Standard states that landscaping mulch must be an organic substance, natural in color. Colored/dyed (red and black) mulch is not permitted. Substances such as rubberized mulch and synthetic pine straw are not permitted. Refreshing the mulch in your yard makes a big impact on curb appeal. Our meetings in May will be on the first and third Mondays and all applications for tree removals, landscape changes, and home improvements should be submitted a week prior to the meetings. The Design Review Board is always available to answer questions via telephone or at drb@tidewaterhoa.org. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support. North Myrtle Beach City Council Bob Cavanaugh, Councilman North Myrtle Beach Citizens Academy Eighteen North Myrtle Beach residents recently graduated from the second annual North Myrtle Beach Citizens Academy. Citizen Academy participants attended a variety of meetings, during which they toured many city facilities. They also participated in staff presentations that focused on key city departments. Farmer's Market In April, Council will have passed a change to the law dealing with the market. It is expected that it will be able to be rented by citizens. Details to follow. Tents on Beach. Effective May 15, they will no longer be allowed thru Labor Day. RIDE III The county wide program that gave us RTE 31 (RIDE 1), and Robert Edge Parkway (RIDE 2) is now being worked on. One of the options is to widen LRNR to three lanes with a separate bike/walking path. If you are unable to access the homeowner website, send your address to userupdate@tidewaterhoa.org 3

4 Tidewater Plantation Community Association Promotion Committee Bill Pearson and Flossie Chapman A year ago while serving on the Nominating Committee it became apparent there was a growing problem facing our community. Resident after resident refused to have their name considered for the three upcoming Board of Directors' openings. A majority of them cited the unfair criticism and personal attacks on current volunteers as their reason. They did not want to be subjected to that type of behavior. It was clear that if this trend were to continue it would have a severe impact on the Tidewater we now know. We need to strengthen our volunteer environment not weaken it as we head towards the conclusion of the Class B control period. Thanks to the help of a number of resident contributors, this committee undertook a six part series of articles to address this serious trend and attempt to turn it around. This is the final article in the series. After studying the problem two things stood out. Those responsible for the unfair criticism and personal attacks did not understand the long term damage that resulted to our community. Neither did those people understand who became an audience for criticism and attacks or forwarded it on as a juicy bit of gossip. We tried to paint a picture of what a future Tidewater would be like without any volunteers and our actions would end up getting us the (community) government we deserve. Thoughtful, respectful criticism offered in a friendly tone is our responsibility when we disagree with an issue under consideration by our Board of Directors. Making a point after getting all the facts, and remembering that we are all neighbors and in this together is so important. If you get what you want, great. If not, accept the fact that sometimes it just works out that way. Don t lose sight of the bigger picture. Tidewater will not be the same without our volunteers, let s always respect and support those who volunteer. Here is a comment from a Tidewater owner: When my wife and I were looking to buy in Tidewater, she asked if we should look anywhere else. I said, why bother, there is a beach house, pools, tennis courts, golf, clubhouse, and beautiful surroundings - where could we find anything better than this place. It has it all! After moving here, we found that Tidewater's biggest asset is its people. People from all across the country and all walks of life. People who are willing to share their best attributes and abilities. People who became true friends, coming together to make this a great community to live in. Our community is built on a strong foundation - Our Volunteers - People who give their time and effort to make this a better place for all of us to live. Spring is coming - let's celebrate with joy, love, and compassion for each other. Be positive - be real - be a resource for each other; friends caring and helping each other to make this a piece of paradise! Our support for each other will make Tidewater better than ever! Tom Munn 4 Bill Pearson This year will be the 10th charity golf tournament organized by TCTC at Tidewater. What started in 2005 as a small event put together on short notice to raise $2,500 for the NMB Shop with a Cop program, is now an event embraced both inside and outside the Tidewater Community. TCTC has given away over $250,000 to charities that serve our area. Beyond that, the tournament, teaming up with the Folds of Honor Foundation, has been instrumental in providing college scholarships and children assistance scholarships to four local military families (total of 8 individuals). Those scholarships, awarded in just the last four years, represent over $160,000 made available to those families by the Folds of Honor. There have been many other benefits derived from the tournaments, too many to list for now. It has become a platform for many opportunities that have led to improvement in the human condition for those in need in our area. Below is an early schedule of events making up the 2014 Tidewater Patriot Day Charity Golf Tournament, please mark your calendars and attend as many as you can. May 2 & 3- Folds of Honor Fundraiser on #3 Tee Box, part 2. June 25- Tournament Kick Off Reception at the TPCA. August 29- Bowling for Veterans at the Little River Lanes. August 30- Zumbathon and Tournament Reception. August 31- Dennis Walters Show and Military Reception. September 1- Opening Ceremonies and Tidewater Patriot Day Charity Tournament. More details on times and places in the coming months!

5 Tidewater Plantation Community Association Road Rejuvenation Project In January, it was reported in the newsletter that the Board planned to have the roads throughout the property sealed this year by Total Asphalt. An article has been in the newsletter each month advising that this work would start on May 12th. The intent of this newsletter insert is to lay out the specific timing for that sealing/rejuvenation project, to define the impact on you as owners, and to ask for your assistance. Why Rejuvenate? The reason for proceeding with this project is to extend the life of the Association s streets. The product being used will do two things. First, it contains oils that will penetrate the surface of the street and assist in reducing the viscosity of the asphalt, making it more pliable and thus extending its life. Second, the coal tar component of the sealer will form a surface barrier to prevent water infiltration and slow any deterioration of the road base while filling minor cracks at the same time. This work is being done with the understanding that some of the areas with more advanced alligatoring (cracking) may fail over several years but this treatment should slow the rate of deterioration and extend the useful life of the surface. Impact on Owners The first, and most significant, impact on you as owners will be the fact that the street leading to and in front of your home will be closed for 24 hours. The Board understands that this is an inconvenience, more for some than others. In evaluating the options for doing the work, it was felt that this approach would ultimately be less inconvenient than having portions of the same streets partially closed for several days. During the day that your street is being treated and closed, the Association will have golf carts available to pick you up and take you home, if necessary. It is our plan to have two carts available; we are finalizing a plan for getting to each home. We will be using road edges and the golf course for access and will have to place plywood across some streets (while the sealer is wet) to provide access from one side to another. Other items that will impact you on the day of the work on your street include mail, FedEx or UPS deliveries as well as trash and yard debris pick up. With access to your street blocked, these items will have to be delivered the following day or, if you have a priority need, you should make arrangements to have FedEx, or UPS items left at the HOA Administration office. US Mail could be picked up at the post office late in the day. Please advise renters of your property of this project. Your Assistance There are two primary items where your assistance is needed. The first is with your sprinkler system. Your sprinkler system needs to be turned off on both the day before and the day of the date that your street is scheduled for treatment. The sealant cannot be put down on a wet street. The second item is simply trying to plan your activities so we can minimize the use of golf carts. For scheduling purposes, you need to plan on the road section being done each day closing at 7:00 AM and not reopening again until at least 7:00 AM the following day. Finally, during the 24 hour period following the application, the roads will be tacky and if a vehicle rides on it and then goes on a concrete curb or driveway, it will leave tracks that are virtually impossible to remove (not to mention what could splash on your car that will also be very hard to have removed). You will also need to avoid walking on the treated road as shoe soles can also track the product onto driveways and/or into your home. Scheduling The objective of the schedule outlined on the site colored plan is to limit the closure of the street in front of every home to one 24 hour period. As stated before, the sealant cannot be applied to a wet surface, so this project is very weather (and sprinkler) dependent. In the event of rain on any day during the schedule, the next day the contractor will move on to the work already scheduled for that date and then the day lost to rain will be picked up on one of the scheduled make up days, or another day as announced. This is intended to try to minimize changes to the schedule. If there is rain during this period it will be particularly important for owners whose work has been delayed to keep an eye out for announcements regarding the rescheduling. The Tidewater website, bulletin boards, and handouts will be used to communicate the new scheduling. 5

8 Tidewater Plantation Community Association Parking & Golf Cart Pick Ups During the period while the streets are being treated the prohibition of parking on the streets overnight will be lifed. This will allow many owners to park on a street and walk across a fairway or down the road edge to get home. Residents affected by the South Island and Harbor Loft closures can park in the Golf Course parking lot across the street from the driving range and will be transported by golf cart to and from their home. If you need a ride on the day your street is being treated, please call and arrangements will be made to pick you up. Project Updates The Rejuvenation Project status will be updated daily on the Tidewater website under the Bulletin section; we will also be sending out broadcasts as needed to assure timely dissemination of information. It is very important that you review the site daily for the status of the total project, especially if you currently do not receive broadcasts from Tidewater. Thank You In Advance As stated before, this project will inconvenience each and every owner, whether it be the result of being rerouted around the property every day or the day on which you will not be able to drive back to your home. If this project did not have real potential to extend the life of the asphalt in the streets and savings for the Association (and thus each owner) the Board would not be pursuing it. But, understanding there will be inconveniences, the Board would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and willingness to assist in making the project go as smoothly as possible. Information Regarding the Rejuvenation Product To Be Used Using Gas Chromatography and Infrared Spectrometry, Paverx was formulated to create the best match of closed-ring compounds that ignite the rejuvenation process. Unlike any other product, Paverx's rejuvenating oils are twice refined to remove all impurities and concentrate a very narrow range of the most active rejuvenating molecules. This unique concentration of rejuvenating oils stops the oxidation process and changes the molecular composition of the asphalt binder. This new "Super Binder" stops top-down cracking and heals hairline spider fractures. This level of rejuvenation is possible because Paverx, unlike seal coats, is designed to penetrate the surface of asphalt. Once it has penetrated, Paverx dramatically reduces the viscosity in the top one-half inch of asphalt while significantly increasing ductility. Paverx's durability is superior. During thermal cycles, it contracts and expands at the same rate as the asphalt. In comparison, seal coats simply lie on the surface. They undergo a markedly different expansion and contraction rate from the asphalt. This eventually leads to cracking, pin-holing, and delamination. Paverx does not suffer from these problems; it becomes an integral part of the asphalt. 8

10 Tidewater Plantation Community Association Tidewater Bowlers Barbra Lefke Beginning on October 2 through March 26 twenty-five women from Tidewater bowled over 21 Wednesdays. Fifteen of them qualified for a prize by bowling at least 10 times. Undoubtedly, Carol Blake, Kathy Hughes and Betty Kraemer would also have been in that group had injuries and health issues not hampered them. We look forward to having them back next season. On April 2, sixteen of the participants met at Clark s for the awards luncheons. Diane Williams was our most enthusiastic newcomer. She attended 16 times and had an overall average of 99.

MaryJane Bilicki had the second highest average for a newcomer with 106. She also had the fewest splits with only 11. She just made the cut for attendance with 10. Carol Haggerty, another newcomer this year, had a 98 average. She probably has one of the best throws of anyone, but unfortunately not with the best results. Carol probably threw more gutterballs followed by strikes than anyone else. She had the 2nd fewest splits with 24. Diane Bokel had the second highest average with 143. She was probably one of the most consistent bowlers and had the second highest game of 204.

Yaya or Ethel, Helen s Mother, gets the award for best spectator. Carol Snyder throws the slowest ball with the best results. Her average for this season was almost 126. She also averaged the highest number of splits per week (more than 4) and managed to make quite a few of them. Blair Hubbard was tied for best attendance with 17 and it probably would have been higher if not for Board meetings. Her average was 111. Audrey Poole had a 129 average, 9 higher than last year. Cinde Woodcock had the 3rd highest average with 137. She also gets the award for most chatty. Bunny Lanahan also tied for 2nd in attendance with 17. In week 16 she had a 116 average for the day, the first time she surpassed 100. Her average for the season was 88, but she went from a 186 series to a 282 to earn MOST IMPROVED BOWLER. Rose Prady had the second highest series with 484 and the 4th highest game with 193. She had the 2nd highest number of splits per week with almost 4. Her average for the season was 130. Connie Muirhead had the best attendance with 20; she only missed Week 10. She had the most splits with 57 and also tied for the most strikes with 99. Her average for the season was 128. Barb Lefke also tied for 2nd attendance with 17 and most strikes with 99. She managed to have the highest game with a 212 one day.

Tidewater Plantation Community Association Golf Course News Archie Lemon Reservation Phone Number Thursday, May 1 through Sunday morning, May 4 will be by far the busiest weekend of golf for the month of May. However the following week May 8 May 14 will be one of Tidewater s slowest weeks for golf and therefore, a great time for Tidewater residents to enjoy the course with both family and friends. Sunday, May 11th is Mother s Day and as a special appreciation to all Mom s, Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers the Tidewater Golf Club has a price-break for all Moms. All of the Moms that are accompanied by an Annual Member will play free of charge and Moms accompanied by a Player s Card Member will only pay a special players fee of $20. Reservations for Sunday, May 11 can be made up to a week in advance. We kindly ask for your cooperation and understanding as it comes to non-golfers using the golf cart paths. For a multitude of reasons with safety being the most important we ask that residents and guests do not walk, run, ride bicycles, skateboards, etc. on any golf cart path. It is not only hazardous to the non-golfer but extremely disrespectful to all golfers and staff.
