Chief PR We come from all walks of life, different backgrounds, different ages, different talents but we have several things in common. We are all part of a 440-person family known affectionately in town as “THE SQUAD.” We have all made the decision to volunteer our time and efforts to this organization and we believe in our motto of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” You may know some of us. We are EMT’s, front office personnel, cooks, maintenance men, dispatchers, drivers, blood pressure technicians, IT specialists…the list goes on and on. There are so many ways to serve! We all help to make this organization function smoothly and we’re here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If you think you might like to know more about us and if there may be a fit somewhere for you, please call 813-633-1411 or visit our web site www.scc-ems.us. Come one, Come all, Come to the Cabaret! What good is sitting alone In your room? Come hear the music play. Come to the Cabaret. Put down your knitting, your book and your broom and come to the Cabaret. Bring your partners, bring your friends and your neighbors to the Cabaret at Community Hall on Saturday, September 22, 2012 at 7 PM. Tickets are $10 per person. Proceeds from the event will benefit The Athena House in Tampa. Sun City Center resident Pam Treadwell was channel surfing one evening when she came upon an interview with a staff member of Athena House. She heard the staff member describe the problems of women veterans and how invisible these valiant women are when they return. She believes that despite the fact that women soldiers face the same challenges on the front lines as men, the services available to them have not caught up to the needs they have. Pam said, ‘Here you have women putting their lives on the line, some wounded as severely as their male counterparts, and not only do they not get the recognition they deserve, they don’t have the services they need to reintegrate into society.” After learning more about what Athena House offers to local homeless women veterans, Pam was motivated to spearhead a fundraiser for the shelter. She and another Sun City resident, Brenda Coman, a veteran, have put together a cabaret variety show that will entertain everyone. Bill Barker will emcee. Sun City’s very own Senior American Idol, Troy Coman, will sing at the event. Other featured entertainers include Charles Wirick, John Cortese, John Foster, Joann Podgurski, Frank and Dee Weder, and several dance troupes. The nature of women’s roles in the military have changed drastically in recent years so that many are now deployed on the front lines where their experiences adversely affect their mental health. Because of the effect their service has on them, a woman who has served in the military is four times more likely to be homeless than a non-veteran woman. Currently, of the nearly 18,000 homeless individuals in Hillsborough County, 10%, or approximately 1800, are veterans, which is twice the national average. The Athena House is a 16-bed transitional housing program located in Tampa, which provides safe housing and employment services specifically for female veterans who are homeless after an honorable discharge from the armed forces. It is the first transitional housing program within the State of Florida specifically designed to address the unique needs of homeless female veterans. According to Sara Romeo, CEO of Tampa Crossroads, Inc. and Director of Athena House, “Our goal is to assist our homeless and at-risk veterans back into a life of independence through economic self-sufficiency.” The Athena House offers a highly structured program which is staffed 24/7 and offers counseling support and treatment exclusively to homeless female veterans. The Athena women are provided safe housing for up to 24 months. During this time they learn the life skills they will need to support permanent, independent living and leave the life of homelessness behind them forever. All proceeds from this cabaret variety show will benefit homeless and at-risk women veterans being served by the Athena House. Tickets will go on sale at the Atrium beginning August 27 and will be available Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 am until 12 noon. Anyone wishing to reserve a table of eight (8) or has questions, please contact -- Jody: 938-4614 or Pam: 634-4218. Come taste the wine, Come hear the band. Come blow a horn, start celebrating. Your table’s waiting.

The Cows Are Loose AgainBy Brenda WisemanAbout. ten. years. ago,. that.was. a. call. Security. would. get.frequently,. so. frequently. the.rancher’s. phone. number. was.posted.on. the.wall. at. the.

Gate. was. locked.up.tight.at.5pm.That’s. what. the. South. Gate.was.called.in.the.beginning--the.Construction. Gate,. since. only.construction.vehicles.used. it..All.the.land.in.that.area.behind.the.gate.was.pasture.and.much.of.it.was.leased.to.a.local.rancher.to.use.as.grazing.land..Adventurous.grandparents.living.in.Kings.Point.would. bring. their. grandchildren.to. the. “back”. to. see. the.cows..And.it.was.an.adventure,.for.the.road.was.a.dirt.road.and.the.big,.

yellow. bulldozers. were. all. lined.up.on.the.north.side.of.the.road.waiting. to. build. more. houses.near. Brookfield. Green. where.the.model.homes.were.located..Not. always. sure. what. was. the.bigger. attraction,. the. cows. or.the.bulldozers.Reminiscing. with. Security.

most.of.the.time,.there.are.street.signs.and.houses.Supervisor.

Such. was. the.wildlife.in.Kings.Point.Nature. was. the. master. at. the.Construct ion/Commercial/Back/South. Gate--they. are. all.the. same. gate. with. different.reincarnations.. When. it. rained,.the. Construction. Gate. had. to.be. closed. because. the. heavy.equipment. would. become.mired.in.the.mud.and.ooze..One.rain. was. so. heavy,. the. pond.overflowed,.the.water.came.up.

to.the.bottom.of.the.truck.doors,.and.trout.were.swimming.up.the.middle.of.the.road.The. lightning. was. ferocious. (still.is,.actually).. It.hit. the.shack.once.and. cracked. a. mirror. hanging.on. the. wall. completely. in. half..And. before. the. streetlights. were.installed,.about. 5. years.ago,. the.lightning.and.the.one.lamp.in.the.guard. house. were. all. the. lights.there.were..It.was.dark,.dark,.dark!As. time.marched. on,. the. little.shack.was.replaced.by.a.bigger.building,. which. was. picked. up.and. moved. more. than. once..That.was.a. real. sight. to.behold,.especially. when. it. fell. off. the.forklift.and.had.a.tilt.to.it.forever.after.. The. off. kilter. building.was. replaced. by. the. current.guardhouse.. No. more. little.blue. buildings. needed.. Thank.goodness!.Snakes.liked.that.blue.way.too.much.So. many. memories..

ADM Chambers was given command of the USS Midway (CV-41) in March 1975 and the ship was subsequently ordered out of Subic Bay Naval Station in the Philippines to take position off the coast of the Southern tip of South Vietnam. The Midway took over 3,000 Vietnamese onboard before sailing to Thailand to offload them and the Air Force helicopters.Chambers was promoted to Rear Admiral in 1976. He assumed

command of Carrier Group Three in 1979-80. He retired from the Navy in 1985.

Write Your Life StoryBy Joan Shalleck

If you are thinking about creating tales about your family history but you don’t know how, consider taking Joan Shalleck’s “Write Your Life Story” class at Hillsborough Community College in Ruskin. “This my eighth year of helping folks to capture their memories on paper. Hundreds of people who’ve never written anything more complex than a letter to their utility company have learned how to preserve the past this way”, Shalleck said recently.“Each student is asked to sign a pledge of confidentiality and

the class is purposely kept small so that everyone feels comfortable,” she added. Create an important legacy for your heirs in eight sessions beginning Friday September 7, 2012 as you learn to write interesting stories about your life and times. You must register in advance.

Bernadette Mueller is Artist of the MonthKings Point Art League’s “Artist of the Month” for the month of

August is Bernadette Mueller. Bernadette lived in N. Olmsted, Ohio before moving to Kings Point in 2000. She had four children, and was a stay at home Mom during their young growing years. She then managed a dental office until she retired in 1989. Having majored in art in High School, she decided to take some watercolor classes held at night at the local High School, and was immediately enchanted with the medium. Watercolor is still her medium of choice, but she also likes to work in colored pencil. She gradually increased her involvement in art and became a member of The Westlake Watercolor Society, The Lakewood Art League, and The Cuyahoga Falls Art Society. It gave her the opportunity to take classes and workshops with a variety of artists, many of them known nationally. These days she likes to experiment with watercolor and colored pencil on surfaces other than paper, yupo, aquaboard and masa being some. The last few months, she has been working with watercolor on canvas. It has been both challenging and frustrating, but fun and a growing experience for her art.You will be able to enjoy Bernadette’s beautiful watercolors during

the month of August, beginning August 4th - September 1st. Make it a point to stop by the window at the Art Room in the North Clubhouse and admire her colorful artwork.
