Gary Amundson was drafted into the Army. It was not his intention to join on his own, but with the draft in effect, he did not have the luxury of making that

decision. However, he did choose to join the combat unit, taking the oath to be a soldier in the United States Military during the Viet Nam war, 1969-1971.

Amundson’s father and 11 of his 16 uncles chose to enlist in the US Armed Forces immediately after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. His Dad and some of his uncles joined the Navy. The others became members of the Army. Amundson admits, “I have always been proud that they served and was always thankful that they all returned after the war.”

His feelings about war mirror that of many Americans. He believes war is a horrible thing and hates that so many of our amazing Service men & women have to make the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of their country to protect the rights and freedoms of this great nation. No matter where he is—the grocery store, the airport, community events—he stops someone in uniform to thank them personally for their service to our Country.

Amundson explains, “We take for granted the life we have here because we don’t have foreign troops coming through our backyards with weapons drawn and ready to fire on the first thing that moves.” In as much as he and so many others wish wars never took place, it is a reality that they do because there are people and groups that terrorize and victimize innocent people every day. It takes the strong, brave men and women, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, to fight these battles on behalf of the American people. Unfortunately, many never return to their families, while others return injured--their lives never to be the same again.

Amundson proudly states, “I am proud to have served my country when I was called. We do need, as a nation, to stand behind our military and give them the equipment they need to do the job, and the respect for the job they have to do. God Bless America, and God Bless Our Military.”

Amundson owns Massage Therapy Center of Florida with his wife, Karen. He truly believes in standing up for everyone in uniform, as he was fortunate like his father and uncles, to return home. He was able to open his own business and continue to live his life with freedom and choices. Many of his buddies were not so lucky.

As a community and a nation, we thank Gary Amundson for his service to our country. We thank each and every member of the United States Armed Forces, both past and present, for their sacrifices to keep us free!

The two moved to Tarpon Springs 14 years ago, and work together each day at Sunshine Upholstery to make new, fresh and special what is old or out-dated. Dean explains his love of the family business, ”Making old stuff new again and turning junk into beautiful pieces of furniture, that’s satisfying. Then seeing the customers’ faces when they pick them up or we deliver them--that’s nice.

If the fabric is fading on your patio furniture or there are worn areas on your favorite easy chair, loveseat, or window seat, consider an update or a “facelift”. Sunshine Upholstery can provide new fabric and everything you need to make a positive change in your decor. If you have selected your own fabric, that works. The Paganos will pick-up and deliver free of charge. They will also provide free in-house estimates complete with fabric swatches from which to select that perfect color and style. It’s about providing excellent customer service, repeat and referral business that keeps Sunshine Upholstery alive and well in Tarpon Springs!

You can contact Joe or Dean at Sunshine Upholstery by calling 727.938.7466. Or visit their shop at 425 N Pinellas Avenue in Tarpon Springs. [Four blocks south of the Sponge Docks]

The two moved to Tarpon Springs 14 years ago, and work

His father, Jerry, was an upholsterer. He learned his father’s trade as a young man, and continued to learn as he matured. He married his high school sweetheart, Edith, and as what

happened to many young men at the time, Joseph Pagano was drafted to serve his country during the Viet Nam era in 1961. He had no choice, but that was OK.

Joe performed his basic training in Ft. Dix, New Jersey and attended Aviation Mechanical School at the base in Ft. Rucker, Alabama. “The best part was flying. I love to fly,” he shared. “I love to be in the air.”

Joe was doing something that he truly enjoyed, and when stationed in Kornwestheim, Stuttgart, Germany, he became a Crew Chief in charge of handling single-engine aircraft, specifically the L20-Beaver. “Sometimes when they’d go up, they’d let me sit in the co-pilot seat, and they’d let me fly,” Joe recalled.

Life was not always enjoyable, though, for he, or his young wife. When Edith traveled to Germany to live with Joe, there were few amenities. They had no hot water, no sink, no commode, no shower, no television, and no heat! Few had cars even though gas could be purchased for only $0.13 per gallon. Many chose bicycles as their primary mode of transportation there at that time. However, Joe managed to save enough to purchase a sporty little two-seater, 1961 Austin Healey, which he still remembers fondly to this day!

In 1964, as his service in the military was ending, Joe contemplated reenlisting with the Army. However, he considers himself “very lucky.” His Sergeant educated him about the terms of war, and told him he was headed to Viet Nam. By 1969-1970, 55,000 soldiers had already returned home injured or in a coffin draped with the American flag.

“I’m a patriotic guy,” Joe states, and “I’m proud that I wore an American uniform, but God was with me.”

Although he experienced challenges selling his sporty, two-seat Austin Healey when he returned home to Massapequa, NY, he and his wife were determined to start a family. They raised two boys--Joseph, Jr., and Dean--before they eventually divorced. Joe continued to work with his father in a business that spanned more than 50 years. He became a master upholsterer, and son, Dean chose to follow in his father’s footsteps, also becoming yet another master upholsterer in the Pagano family.

Florida Water Treatmentwww.flawatertreatment.com

If you have concerns about the quality of your water if you’re worried about why it tastes, or smells so bad or if you’re just tired of paying more for bottled water than

gasoline... FWT the solution that will suit your needs.

Florida Water Treatment has been providing quality water treatment since 1951. The longevity is its own testimonial to their business. Matt and Jori Zarra are the owners of the only location on Main Street. They build and manufacture their equipment based on each clients watering needs. Customers always come first and service is second to none including 24/7/365 emergency service where the client will always be able to reach a person. FWT stands behind their equipment; it has longevity, that is what gives them the

edge. They offer service in all makes and models of water softening, water conditioning and water treatment systems for both municipal water and well water. They also offer drinking water filtration systems.

FWT is all about the customer and giving them the best service and the highest quality at the best price. For Matt and Jori their favorite part of having their business is being able to interact with their customers, and being able to provide a product that makes a difference in their lives. “Choosing a water treatment system can be a daunting task. Trusting the business you buy it from can make it so much easier.” Florida Water Treatment provides “custom” solutions; not the One-Size-Fits-All approach of national vendors.

Salute America! I am so proud to be an American and so proud of our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers that are serving our country

today. They protect us so that the fight does not come to our hometowns. I was amazed to find out how many of our neighbors serve and have served our country over the years. Some are currently in the United States Armed Forces, while others have served in the past. They all have a common thread, they are all proud to be Americans!

You’ll get a chance to meet some of our epic hometown service men and women. Many are your family, friends, neighbors and local business owners. It might be the brave man that gives you a massage to relieve back pain (pg. 2), or the courageous man that is a master craftsman upholstering your furniture (pg. 3), or the valiant “Team Mom” at your child’s softball game (pg. 11). Or perhaps the heroic student you went to school with (pg.36), It might be your Dad, who you love with all your heart (pg. 6). This only names a few.

My Dad, Bill Dawson served in the United States Air Force during the years 1956-1961. My brother and I were born U.S. citizens while our father served at Scott Air Force Base in Ruislip, England. As I was writing this, I found out that my Dad was trained for “Crypto”, or teletype messages in code. No wonder he continued to take on the position of Chief of Communications for the Associated Press. To me, he was just my Dad whom I loved with all my heart.

I encourage each and every one of you to say a special thank you to our service men and women--past and present-- who make our community a wonderful, safe place to live. May God Bless each and every one of them and their families, and may God Bless the U.S.A.

REAL ESTATE STORY

Debbie Dawson, “Your Hometown Realtor”Florida Luxury Realty

727-709-9541

To attract buyers, sellers must up the ante to convince them that their property offers what many want most — top value for dollar

expended. Here are eight fast fixes:

1. Buff up curb appeal. You’ve heard it before, but it’s critical to get buyers to want to look on the inside. Be objective. View listings from the street. Check the condition of the landscaping, paint, roof, shutters, front door, knocker, windows, house number, and even how window treatments look from the outside. Add something special — such as big flower pots or an antique bench — to help viewers remember house A from B.

2. Enrich with color. Paint’s cheap, but forget the adage that it must be white or neutral. Just don’t let sellers get too avant-garde with jarring pinks, oranges, and purples. Recommend soft colors that say “welcome,” lead the eye from room to room, and flatter skin tones. Think soft yellows and pale greens. Tint ceilings a lighter shade.

3. Upgrade the kitchen and bathroom. These make-or-break rooms can spur a sale. But besides making each squeaky clean and clutter-free, update the pulls, sinks, and faucets. In a kitchen, add one cool appliance, such as an espresso maker. In the bathroom, hang a flat-screen TV to mimic a hotel. Room service, anyone?

4. Add old-world patina. Make Andrea Palladio proud. Install crown molding at least six to nine inches in depth, proportional to the room’s size, and

architecturally compatible. For ceilings nine feet high or higher, add dentil detailing, small tooth-shaped blocks used as a repeating ornament. It’s all in the details, after all.

5. Screen hardwood floors. Buyers favor wood over carpet, but refinishing is costly and time-consuming. Screening cuts dust, time, and expense. What it entails: a light sanding, not a full stripping of color or polyurethane, then a coat of finish.

6. Clean out, organize closets. Get sorting — organize your piles into “don’t need,” “haven’t worn,” and “keep.” Closets must be only half-full so buyers can visualize fitting their stuff in.

7. Update window treatments. Buyers want light and views, not dated, fancy-schmancy drapes that darken. To diffuse light and add privacy, consider energy-efficient shades and blinds.

8. Hire a home inspector. Do a preemptive strike, since busy home owners seek maintenance-free living. Fix problems before you list the home and then display receipts and wait for buyers to offer kudos to sellers for being so responsible.

THE STYLE FILE

When it comes to summer, especially here in Florida, we automatically think:

beach, barbeques, travel, playtime. Then we think: hot, sweaty, sticky, exhaustion. The positives and negatives go hand in hand. Well I want to show you how you can still look cute and also glamorous even in the hot, sticky summer!

First let’s start with our make up. Using a Tinted Moisturizer with a built in sunscreen is a great light way to even out your skin tone with a light coverage, without the heavy look. And the added bonus is the sunscreen. A Mineral Powder Foundation is another way to achieve a light look with even better coverage. Both of these products hold up great to sweat without giving you make up “run lines” down your face. A key to prevent that is to remember to “blot” your face when it’s hot and sticky rather than wipe. There are also wonderful Beauty Blotter Tissues out there that help take away the extra shine we get in the summer due to our pores being larger from the heat. Those are very absorbent and leave a nice powder finish.

Now for color—feel free to use it this summer season! There are beautiful teals, greens, and blues that pair great with sheer neutrals on the eyes. What’s important to

know here is how to apply for your eye shape. One thing to remember is that

if you have a hooded eye shape (where you only see your eye lid when it’s closed) to apply those fun colors in the crease as well as the lid so that when you are looking at others they don't get a strobe light of color flashing at them every time you blink. The fun colors of the season really help to glam up your look in a fun way. Just remember to use an Ultimate Mascara for a thick lash look or a Waterproof Mascara for when you’re swimming or plan to out in the sun all day. Finish your look with a Shimmer Bronzer and a Tinted Lip Balm with an SPF and you’ll be looking fresh and in style this season!

Now a few tips about what to wear this summer. Skorts are big this season, especially for the flexibility of still looking cute in a skirt while the sensible shorts are attached underneath. Pair them with a fun tank top, layered necklaces, a great chunky bracelet, and jeweled up sandals for a hot sleek summer look. I suggest sandals with a small heel, they glam up the outfit, make your legs look a bit longer and slimmer, and still offer the comfort of a sandal. Who doesn’t want all that! The key to any summer outfit is to hide those areas that we all know need to be hidden like our belly with a thick belt or a loose fitting top. And to make sure your skort isn’t too short for your leg shape. Follow this fun tips and you’ll be looking as hot as it its outside this summer!!

If you need any personal help with areas, I’m just a phone call or text away!

PROFESSIONAL CARE FOR...AUTO ACCIDENTS

Dr. Brandon Delle Chiaie, D.C.

“Chiropraktikos” is the Greek term meaning ‘done by hand.’ Dr. Stephen Unger and his partner, Dr. Brandon Delle Chiaie stay true to the meaning of their profession by doing hands-on chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy and rehabilitative procedures that are specific to each patient, addressing their individual needs and concerns. To that end, they cap the volume of patient visits in their practice at 35 patients per day so everyone receives exactly what it is they need and the doctors remain hands-on.

Dr. Delle Chiaie explains, “This is not a cookie cutter practice where it is ‘us for us’. We offer a full regiment specifically designed for each patient that includes head-to-toe exercises for balance and core strengthening. Active care in this office involves problem-focused rehab for strengthening and stretching over-tight muscles, as well as programs to increase balance and coordination.” All exercise is functionally based to aid in the patient’s recovery and enhance an individual’s performance on the job or doing activities of daily living.

This family-oriented practice is certainly no “stale” doctor’s office. The patient waiting area is designed to be comfortable and inviting like home. The walls are adorned with patient education posters to stimulate discussion and offer information about health, functionality, and proper nutrition.

The Unger Chiropractic patient base includes pediatric cases as young as five-years old to seniors in their 90’s. One success story

they proudly share involves a patient with Parkinson’s disease who simply wanted to be able to walk to his mailbox to retrieve his mail. Now the patient can not only walk to his mailbox, but he walks completely around the block! Other victories include elimination of symptoms, patients being able to bend and tie their shoes, and even sleep better.

Massage therapy is another facet of Unger Chiropractic that benefits patients in their healing, as well as clients seeking the expertise of a talented masseuse. Three massage therapists, including Dr. Unger’s wife, Yanira, are specialists in deep tissue, warm bamboo and hot stone massages. With some of the most competitive rates in the area, you pay only $40 for one full hour, or $25 for half an hour.

Both doctors go out of their way to support many local charities and causes. Moreover, they both are active in the American Chiropractic Association and the Florida Chiropractic Association, in which Dr. Unger serves as President of the North Suncoast Chapter. Both also volunteer as team doctors at the local schools and provide complimentary physicals for students. Philanthropically, they participate in and sponsor fundraising events for Autism and Cancer Research, just to name a few.

“This is a young, growing, vibrant community with people who want to be fit, active and healthy,” adds Dr. Delle Chiaie, “and we truly enjoy practicing here in Trinity.”

BOOMERS

In the “land of the free and home of the brave,” yes, we are truly proud and honored

to be Americans in a country we love so much where we have open opportunities to pursue life, liberty, and happiness!

As Americans and small business owners of Defy Aging, Inc, we are extremely blessed. We are blessed to be able to live our life doing what we love and loving what we do in service to others.

We are blessed to live abundantly in health, wellness, and happiness.

We are blessed to live with passion and excitement!

We are blessed as we strive to leave this world a better place because we have lived in it.

We are blessed to live each day to its fullest, as if it could be our last.

We are blessed to walk our walk in gratitude and appreciation, even when the world can seem so volatile.

We are blessed to share peace, harmony, love, and forgiveness.

We are blessed to recognize the treasures and gifts we have received.

We are blessed to pay it forward, expecting nothing in return.

We are blessed to show great respect for ourselves, others, nature, wildlife, and our planet.

We are blessed to stay “tuned in, tapped-in, and turned on” by life, everyday, in every way. We are blessed to be able to look back over the years, and know we have made a difference.

This is to have lived and to have truly succeeded!

What better way than to share some nuggets of our wisdom through the ages via our featured articles, classes and seminars. We extend an invitation to you with no expiration date. Simply RSVP if you are interested in living the best quality of life possible!

One of the things we focus on is learning how to heal our bodies using as many natural, alternative options as possible. Everything we need is within us and on our earth, naturally. We just need to seek them out.

We must continue learning how to handle the number one cause of dis-ease, and premature death: STRESS! Once we learn how to calm the body, we automatically calm the mind, which allows us to focus, concentrate with more clarity, and make better decisions in both business and personal situations.

Allowing our minds to remain open like a parachute for self-healing through prayer, meditation, guided affirmations, imagery, and the universal laws of God’s creation in order to take direction and see purpose in our lives, is one of our seven “master keys” to success. “Chasing Rainbows of the Heart” helps us get into an empowered, “heart-based” place, which is guaranteed to change your life.Another important factor upon

which we focus on a regular basis is not only healing the energy of our bodies, but the energy of the “sacred space” in our homes. Harmonious surroundings with peaceful energies, scents and sounds, allows your home to become your own personal oasis to which you can retreat every day!

We look forward to sharing more in-depth wisdom we have discovered, and hope you will join us in a complimentary Tai Chi/Chi Kung Class in your area. If you are looking for work and might consider becoming a professional Tai Chi instructor, we can help you with that as well. We can provide you with the training necessary to earn professional certification.

We are transformational speakers and authors, and are available for workshops, seminars, group or private sessions, and tele-coaching, all designed to help you during even with tough economic times.

Upcoming seminars include: Singles and Singles Again, How to Live Healthy in an Unhealthy World, How to become a Warrior instead of a Worrier.

As proud Americans and small business owners, we can be reached at 727-945-9223, or visit us at www.barbarmarville.com or www.dennis-kelly.com.

Remember: “It only takes one person to make a difference in this world. Make a present of yourself and pass it on” Kudos to Debbie Dawson in making her dreams come true with It’s Your Home Magazine!

SAFETY TIPS

[email protected] www.KatelynFoundation.org.

We are just about half way through the summer and The Katelyn Foundation was recognized at the All Children’s SAFE kids luncheon in

St. Petersburg and received the 2011 Safety Award. This was a pleasant surprise. As for me, I already finished two free swim sessions in my backyard and started my third session on July 13th. I am learning so much from these children and enjoying every moment teaching them how to swim. It is amazing how quickly they learn their “scoops and kicks”. I always find myself telling the parents that there are two battles I fight teaching a child to swim; the first is the child gaining my trust and the second is getting their faces in the water. I have to say it doesn’t take long for them to gain my trust, but getting them to jump in the water after dive sticks is another story! The most important thing is I am having fun and so are the children. If you are interested in my free swim program for August or September or if you are looking for a swim instructor to teach at your home please email me at [email protected].

Simple Steps Save Lives………… As frightening as the risk of drowning is, it can be prevented!

Water holds a universal fascination for individuals of all ages, most especially children. Children love to pour, splash, drizzle and spray water.

Unfortunately, the water that fascinates and surrounds our children can lead to drowning or near-drowning tragedies. It takes very little water for a young child to drown.

DID YOU KNOW…..*As little as two inches of water in a tub, sink or shower places a toddler at risk;*A child can drown in the time it takes to answer the phone; and*Most young victims are usually missing from the sight of an adult for less than five minutes. *For every child who drowns; four others are hospitalized for near-drowning and as many as three suffer brain damage?

Take a look at some water safety “Do’s and Don’ts to get you through the rest of the summer:

WATER SAFETY “DO’S”1. Teach children water safety and swimming skills as early as possible. 2. Always brief babysitters on water safety, emphasizing the need for constant supervision. 3. Appoint a “designated watcher” to monitor children during social gatherings at or near pools. 4. Equip doors and windows that exit to a pool area with alarms.5. Install a poolside phone, preferably a cordless model, with emergency numbers programmed into speed-dial. 6. Post CPR instructions and keep rescue equipment poolside. 7. Install four-sided isolation fencing, at least five feet high, equipped with self-closing and self-latching gates, that completely surrounds the pool and prevents direct access from the house and yard.8. Maintain constant visual contact with children in a pool or pool area. 9. If a child is missing, check the pool first, seconds count in preventing death or disability.

WATER SAFETY “DON’TS”1. Don’t use flotation devices as a substitute for supervision.2. Never allow a young child in a pool without an adult. 3. Don’t leave objects such as toys that might attract a child in the pool or pool area.4. Never prop the gate to a pool area open.5. Don’t rely on swimming lessons, life preservers, or other equipment to make a child “water safe.”6. Never assume someone else is watching a child in a pool area. 7. Don’t leave chairs or other items of furniture where a child could use them to climb into a fenced pool area. 8. Don’t think you’ll hear a child who’s in trouble in the water; child drowning is a silent death, with no splashing to alert anyone that the child is in trouble.

Does your child take refresher swimming classes every year? Rapidly changing skills, different levels of development, and a limited attention span require that a child’s swimming abilities be continually updated.

Until next time…….Pool Safely!

THE MOST LOVING DECISIONby Dr. Gayle Burrell

Having been a veterinarian here in Florida for many years, I know how difficult it can be to take your pet to the clinic even for routine visits. They are often scared, shaking and sometimes painful, and this can

start before you have even left the house. Cats especially don’t usually appreciate leaving their comfort zone. The decision to euthanize your pet is a very emotional one, and yet it is the most loving decision you can make for them when the time comes. Unfortunately the drive to the clinic, waiting in the lobby, facing other clients when you leave, and the drive home alone can make an already traumatic experience even worse. After the peaceful experience of euthanizing a friends pet at their home and more recently one of my own, I realized that this was a service I could offer your beloved pet that would eliminate a lot of undue stress and help make their last moments quiet, peaceful and pain free. My hours are flexible to accommodate the needs of both you and your pet and cremation services are provided than can include the return of ashes in a nice urn of your choice. Please check out my website www.GentlePetPassings.com which will explain and answer most of your questions. Also feel free to call or email me for more information.

Saying goodbye to your beloved friend is a loving

but difficult decision.

Circumstances are often too stressful for either

you or your pet to make the trip to your veterinary

clinic. Now those final precious moments can be spent with your pet in the comfort and familiarity of their home surrounded by

all that they love.

A HOMETOWN STORY

You’re aware of the tragedy. It’s been publicized for over six months in all of the local papers. One of Trinity’s own suffered life-altering injuries in the war being fought in Afghanistan. Lance Corporal Justin Gaertner, of the United States Marine Corps, lost his legs and suffered an injury to his arm as a result of an IED explosion he was investigating.

The 2007 Mitchell High School alumnus, had served two previous deployments prior to this horrific incident. He and another IED Specialist lost their legs this time. The third infantryman and IED Specialist accompanying them lost his life. Justin and his surviving buddy were immediately transported to a military hospital in Germany for intensive medical care. His family was notified by a brief, abrupt phone call from Justin initially, then promptly face-to-face by Marine officers.

Justin was eventually moved to Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland, to continue more extensive physical therapy and rehabilitation. This all adds up to extreme costs. Not just the physical loss Justin has suffered, but the adaptation to activities of daily living, ongoing therapy and rehab, and travel expenses incurred by his family to visit and support him in his rehab efforts.

Numerous fundraisers have already been held in Justin’s honor, yet one is being planned to take place in late July or early August. The Stadium Restaurant, Rooters Networking Club, and It’s Your Home Magazine are proudly sponsoring a fundraiser for Justin’s family in an effort to offset the tremendous costs they bear as a result of this terrible tragedy. Please visit our calendar of events at www.ItsYourHomeTrinity.com or visit our facebook pages for more information as to the specific date and time of the upcoming fundraiser at The Stadium Restaurant.

On behalf of the entire team at IT’s YOUR HOME Magazine, we extend a very heartfelt “Thank You” to Justin Gaertner, his family, and all of our military personnel for their admirable service to our country and their protection of our freedoms, civil rights, and most importantly, our homes and families.

May God Bless You and God Bless America!

A. It means that your car’s computer system has self-diagnosed a problem.

It can include anything, from a simple need for replacement of a gas cap, which will have no noticeable effect on the engine performance, or driving safety, to a computer component that may cause other components to fail!There’s no way to know what the light means without running a diagnostic test on the system to find the nature of the fault.A continuous Check Engine light usually signals that a failure or hard fault is present. If the light comes on and off, the problem may be minor or intermittent.

A website for your business should be working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is most likely the least expensive tool you

can employ to market your business. A website is a cost effective complement to the advertising that you do with brochures and in periodicals. The cost for the development of a website is a one time charge. Beyond the development charges, the cost of keeping a website operational is minimal, typically $50-$100 per year.

A website will complement your print advertising by letting you describe your business in complete detail, providing information to your potential customers that you could not afford to cover in a publication. Websites give you the opportunity to use unlimited graphics, photographs, dynamic content and animation.

Do you sell products? How much more can you add to your bottom line if you are selling your products directly from your website? E-commerce on a website opens the doors of your store that never close. When you are sleeping, your website is still open and working to make your business more profitable.

A website is easy to update to keep current with your changing business environment. These changes can be made quickly and easily either by yourself using a built in web page editor or by your site designer. This quick change advantage allows your customers to know about your changes immediately. Call now for a free consultation to create a new website or refresh your old website. We will help you find ways to put your website to work for you!

Our Goal at Websitedzyn is to make the World Wide Web work for you and your business!
