CANDIDATE BACKGROUND INFORMATION FORM
Name: Brian L. Ermeling, DVM Telephone Numbers
Address: Home: 603-448-4033

e-mail: brian.ermeling@dartmouth.edu
Candidate Statement:
I seek election to the Board of Directors to use my leadership and
negotiation skills to represent the interests of the Pelican Resort
and owners. We are clearly in a period of growth that has caused
many to experience “growing pains” as we build the Marina Residences.
We also see significant growth everywhere on the island. I will
try to ensure that our voices are being heard regarding the need
to upgrade the island infrastructure, e.g. roads, law enforcement,
etc., to keep up with the pace of growth. This is an exciting and
uncertain time of growth and these things cannot be left as they are.
If elected I can commit to doing my very best for the resort owners,
resort management and employees. Our resort can be a great place
to relax and enjoy, while maintaining a fiscally sound future,
and providing necessary jobs for island residents.

Just returned from a month's stay at my other home PELICAN RESORT CLUB.
I had a glorious time except for the fact that each and every place I went
on the resort, each and every notice at the resort was dedicated to the
Marina Residences. Have we, who so supported the problem solving during
the bankruptcy, etc have been forgotten? Does the Board forget that if it
wasn't for the original owners there would be no Pelican at all? It is
just shameful as to what is happening. Yes, the resort is in good shape
and all appears well....thanks to maintenance fees. Have you seen the
cabana at the C pool? During the entire month of June it was a disgrace.
Filled with stoves and refrigerators evidently meant for the residences
filled the place. What has happened to the cool, pleasant atmosphere
we had for relaxing, reading, etc? It's apparently gone. No place for
either adults nor children to enjoy the comforts we used to have.
I could go on and on but what's the point. Royal has a strong hold
on our resort, especially on our so called board. No, I won't stop going
back because that's my second home but there has to be some thought
given to those who have supported the place through thick and thin.
In my mind, I am wondering whether or not this will appear in your blog.
Janet DeCesare
Judy's reply: I am sorry to hear you are disappointed in the promotion
of the new Pelican Marina Residences. If the Resort wants to sell weeks
in the new project they need to advertise to all those who are visiting
our Resort. Look at it this way the more we add to our Pelican family
the more owners we have to pay the expenses at the Resort.

We bought our Marina unit in 1992. For 2008, we were at the
Pelican for weeks 1, 2, 19, 20, 29 and 30. Here are my comments.
During weeks 29-30, I concluded what I believe is a disturbing trend.
In prior years, the staff has been helpful in providing service with
a smile. However, virtually every service that is offered has a tip jar
associated with it.
Examples of this trend include the manager’s reception, at which there
are tip jars located on the food table and the drinks table. Since I do
not drink either wine or beer, which guests can avail themselves to, my
soft drink is poured by Jean Marie. The child preceding me received an
unopened soft drink can. I placed a $1 tip into the jar, and asked if
I could have a can as well. Instead, Jean Marie poured what was left
of an open can and topped off my cup with another open can. He told me,
“you can could come back for more!” I was surprised by this attitude.
Another example is at the Wednesday night movies in which the free
popcorn now requires a $1 mandatory tip for EACH bag of popcorn.
There seems to be less graciousness at the resort . Tipping is voluntary.
I gladly tip the deserving maid, an unseen staffer, who cleans our unit
from top to bottom.
As I thought about the tip jars, I wondered if this is one of the lessons
that comes out of the hospitality fee that we are also expected to pay
every day that we are at the Pelican. If demanding tips is what the
students learn at the hospitality school, then they are missing a very
important message. This practice at the Pelican does not reflect will
on the Pelican Resort or its employees.
I believe that tips should be voluntary and not a requirement to
guarantee service.
Other observations:
The Pelican wireless internet does not function well. In particular,
the access point located at the Marina, which we could see from our
balcony, was broken for most of weeks 29 and 30.
Orientation: I was disturbed with the orientation presented during
week 30 at the Bistro. I thought the purpose of the orientation
session was to familiarize visitors towards what the island has to
offer. Week 30’s session did not do that. Most of the orientation
time was taken up with introducing and praising individual members
of the sales staff for its work.
In addition, a significant amount of time was set aside to lead up
to a moment of silence for peace on the planet. Neither of these
activities provided any orientation for the visitors about the island,
resort, or customs exit procedures, which Frank covered in detail
in the old days.
Again, I believe this particular orientation did a disservice to the
visitors and does not represent the resort or its employees well. In
fact, when I thought about it later, it seemed spending so much time
about the sales staff was really intended to facilitate sales calls
during the week rather than helping visitors learn more about the
week they were to enjoy.
Be aware that “pickpockets” are at the casino. Report to the casino
management ASAP so that the surveillance tape will not be erased and
can be viewed. We could not determine if this was the reason that
a K-9 team was outside the casino door during week 30.
We noticed that, upon entering SXM, the immigration officers are not
as “friendly.” Arriving travelers must carry a copy of their airline
itinerary and be prepared to show the officers that they have paid
tickets to leave SXM.
Lastly, the resort tap water during weeks 29 and 30 had a definite
saline taste, as if the salination process was not working. Previously,
I had been able to use the resort tap water for drinking.
As a meeting planner for over 20 years, having earned my certified
meeting professional credential, I am familiar with the standards
and procedures of the "players" in the hospitality/tourist industry.

Subject: RIPOFF ON ONE NITE RENTALS
Hi Judy,
We're long time owners and planning our 45th trip down to the
Pelican. A couple of weeks ago I got the shock of my life
when I contacted the Reservations Dept. regarding a one nite
rental, as we are coming in a day earlier. I was quoted
$608 for the Flamboyant and $587 for the Marina. I told the
lady I would take a studio in the Marina. She told me the
price was $211. I told her I paid $120 a nite 7 weeks ago.
That's the price she said. Well we're seniors and we
can't "do the hill", so I gave her the necessary credit card
information. Five minutes later I got a call from her stating
that she misquoted me and that the price was another $77 for the
nite - total of $288. Well I told her to forget about it and
called the Flamingo for a one nite rental. They were happy to
help me, very courteous and obliging. In fact they found me
in their system from years ago. The price is $136.50 for the
night. By the way, two other owners in the same situation as
us, also were given outrageous prices from the Pelican and
they are using Flamingo also. Who's getting this money (if
indeed, anything is being rented at these prices)? I know
for sure it's not the owners!!!!!! Marge & Jim Baralo

Timeshare Legislation - there is not a separate time share
law, but newly introduced time share rights, which have been
incorporated in Book 7 of the Civil Code of the Netherlands
Antilles (“Purchase of rights of use in timesharing of real
property”) , whereby an ownership right of the right to
temporarily use (per week etc) for real estate has been
constituted. It is Federal legislation and therefore
applicable to all the Island Territories that form
part of the Netherlands Antilles (Curacao, Bonaire,
St. Maarten, Saba and St. Eustatius)

Donations to Crystal Children's Home:
This organization has no government funding to help house,
feed and clothe the 13 children they have placed there. I
am hoping your website can assist them in raising funds
and receiving donations of food and clothing. Credit can be
made at Grand Marche for groceries, GEBE for utilities
etc. Many people leave bags of food in their rooms at the
end of vacation, they could be encouraged to take it to
AQUA MARINA ADVENTURES as a donation (unopened items) to the
home instead. Thank you, Best Regards,
Debby Lind - Aqua Mania Adventures.
