Return of the Cart Parade Gets SCC in the Christmas Spirit

Story by Adam Porter, Photos by Shelba Porter��

with Christmas cheer when the annual Christmas Cart Parade made its triumphant return to Sun City Center on December

12th. Once a revered holiday standard, the parade had been consigned to Christmases Past for four years. The revival and spectacle were a smashing success, a delight to the eyes the heart and the spirit.

The day felt custom ordered. Scores of festively decorated carts lined the lots and streets near the community center. A crystal blue sky shone overhead. The air was crisp and carols were on the breeze, courtesy of the enthusiastic PacKids children’s ensemble from SCC’s Performing Arts Club and the �� of the angelic ladies ensemble, South Shore Sound.Owners, drivers and parade

watchers mingled with Santas of all shapes and sizes as the lines of carts were judged for creativity and overall holiday spirit. Soon, the parade was underway and carts swathed with Christmas cheer, civic responsibility and ethnic pride made their way along the parade route. Santa’s many helpers and at least one stuffed monkey rode shotgun, waving and calling out holiday greetings.Lines of folding chairs at the

end of the parade route ringed the bandstand where the Front Porch Pickers, a band of local musicians – including many Kings

Point residents – were picking out Christmas tunes. Though the group of 30-plus performers, normally plays bluegrass or country songs, the Pickers were handling the holiday hits with ease.As the parade came to an end,

eager participants awaited the judges’ verdict, delivered by the one and only Tropical Santa, aka Lannie Cardwell. As Florida’s answer to Saint Nick announced the names, excited parade � �� different entry categories came forward to accept their prize – an elegant Lenox crystal trophy. The winners of each category,

in no particular order were, as follows:

IndividualMarilyn Bohl and Ted WilsonClub or OrganizationThe Irish Connection, Paddy Cooney and Elaine ChiconeChurch or Religious GroupFirst Christian Church, Bill and Betty Moore of Radison Avenue in Kings Point

There are several factors that make community possible, but what holds it together? What makes a community feel like home? One of those qualities would have to be neighbors helping neighbors. If you agree with that, then there is a place for you on the Sun City Center Emergency Squad. This all-volunteer group has been providing Basic Life Support for residents of Sun City Center and �� years.

Recently the News of Kings Point sat down with incoming Chief Mike Jackson and his incredible staff of Assistant Chiefs, Noreen Schramm, Diane Simon, and Linda East. These amazing folks shared their passion for helping others and how much the Emergency Squad has meant, personally, for them.

“Just neighbors helping neighbors. That’s what it’s all about.” Says Jackson, “It’s been that way since 1964. Since day one.”

Just neighbors helping neighbors? Last year the Emergency Squad respondedto approximately 7,000 requestsfor assistance, an average of 20 calls per day. Fortypercent of those calls camefrom Kings Point. To put a cost on that service, according toHillsborough County Fire Rescue, the Emergency Squad saved the taxpayers of Hillsborough �� And they did it with an all-volunteer force of just over 400 dedicated neighbors. So, howdoes an all-volunteer force, many of whom have limited priormedical experience maintain ��

Submitted by: Adam Porter, Editor in Chief, The News of Kings PointFirst of all, I would like to

thank all of you who helped �� the News of Kings Point a success. We have received �� submissions, hearty votes of �� constructive suggestions. This is encouraging as we continue to endeavor to make the News of Kings Point about you and the community you call home.It’s a new year and with that

comes the inevitable thoughts of resolutions, benchmarks, hopes, dreams and goals. It’s also a time to look back at all we’ve learned and forgotten, loved and lost the previous year. As with every other trip

around the sun, 2009 was a year of comings and goings. My family celebrated the birth of my second son, Brendan. The little guy was a wonderfully welcome surprise, especially considering his “big brother” is 16 years his senior. His smile lights up a room, and even his sometimes brooding teenage sibling cannot escape the glow. This innocent radiance and the pride I feel as my eldest is steadily becoming his own man have sustained me when, during this year, we also suffered unexpected loss. While millions around the world were lighting candles in celebration of Hanukkah or

stringing lights in anticipation of the coming Christmas, small pockets of family and friends in their communities were remembering those who would not be with them this season. I was one of them. Perhaps you were as well. Comings and goings.(� �� '��

January and a New Year dawns, these thoughts remind me that all we are promised in 2010 is opportunity. The chance to take life as it comes, and the occasion to do our best to live and to love every day.In his “Trip Around the Sun”,

Jimmy Buffett sings: I’m just hanging on while

this old world keeps spinning, and it’s good to know it’s out of my control. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from all this living, is that it wouldn’t change a thing if I let go.The message? Don’t fret

over circumstances you can’t change. The unspoken advice? Take care of what you can. Support a Cause because what you bring to the table can make all the difference. Share the gift of your talent and your heart with your community. Take time to live, to laugh and to love. And, because they can leave you all too soon, hold on an extra moment the next time you hug a friend or loved one.

Happy 2010.

TheEditor’s Corner

“The bottom line for us is to provide the best possible care we can for our patients.” Says Schramm. “Each time we come on duty we do team training. We stay sharp. We stay alert.”

“We are mandated to hold a certain level of professionalism, by the state and by our own standards.” Adds Simon. “One �� )�*� � �� is to review with my staff every incident that we respond to. How long did it take us? What treatment did we administer? Where did we take the patient? Our commitment to excellence means that we are ranked in the high 90th percentile in the state.”

When asked about what it takes to join the Squad, Chief Jackson and his team are quick to point out that the training process, though thorough, is much easier than some might expect.

“It’s not a hard process,” East explains, “Come in the front door. Tell us you’re interested. Meet our folks. Look at a video

to see what different types of jobs are available. See if there is anything you think might be �� #�� about two weeks to complete, and, once people try it, they stay.”

Certain jobs do have limitations. Emergency Medical Technicians, First Responders

and Drivers need to be able to perform CPR, which can be somewhat physically demanding. But physical issues do not preclude someone from volunteering for the Squad. Those who are physically unable to work on an ambulance or van � �� demand positions: Dispatcher,

Handyperson, Receptionist, Mechanic, Car Washer or Sanitizer, Teacher, Technician, Administrator or Cook.

Another misconception many prospective volunteers express deals with the type or servicethey will be providing. The Emergency Squad is a basic life support group, offeringassistance in non life threateningcases – not, for the most part, dealing with blood, other bodily '�� +�� Occasionally, they are called in to assist until Hillsborough County’s Advanced Life Supportunits arrive on scene. But over 80% of their calls are simple slip and fall accidents. Of course,those are not the only services the Emergency Squad provides. Each year they save the residentsof Sun City Center thousands inambulance calls by transportingpatients to any requested hospital in a 25-mile radius. This even includes Tampa, Brandon The VA hospital, Manatee and Sarasota.

Question 1 – submitted by Julie Pomeroy<�� '��*��

the east side of my home. It gets very little direct sunlight until the mid afternoon. What �� '�� recommend?”Anne Pigeon says:Great question! The key factor

here is the period of afternoon direct sunlight. Any plant you choose for that location is going to need to be tolerant of full sun even though it is for only a short time every day. Any plant that prefers shade or partial sun is not going to be happy there. So here is a list of winter annuals

and perennials that would work in that location:

��Geraniums��Sweet Alyssum��Lobelia��Petunias��Pansies��Violas (miniature Pansy, heat tolerant)��Dianthus��Dusty Miller��Verbena��Euphorbia “Diamond Frost”��Blue Salvia��Stokes Asters��Yarrow��Impatiens and New Guinea Impatiens will tolerate full sun in the fall and winter through early spring but are susceptible to frost/freeze… although many local gardeners think their showy '�� **Editor’s Note: of course this

is not an exhaustive list of plants that work well in said conditions. We would love to hear about �� '�� had success with in areas of full light.Question 2 – submitted by Shelba Porter“I am interested in the container

gardening concept you talked about in the last article. What do I REALLY need to get started.”Anne Pidgeon says:Start by picking a suitable

container, one that will hold soil and will not decompose or breakdown. Old shoes, pots and pans, old tires, tin cans, old

watering cans, bathtubs…your limit is your imagination. The new generation of plastic

resin pots now has ultraviolet stabilizers so they don’t become brittle or break in sunlight. They come in lots of nice colors, styles and surface textures like terra cotta, ceramics, porcelain, bronze metal and wood…but they weigh nothing, last forever, cost little and require no maintenance.Drainage holes are needed.

Just get a drill and make holes in the bottom. Without drainage it �� because you can’t gauge how much water is sitting in the bottom. Remember that roots must have air as well as water. A proper watering cycle goes from very wet to very dry…it is never good to just keep the soil medium moist all the time. The extremes of very wet then very dry allow the roots to breathe

and at the same time kills many pathogens because some like wet but can’t stand dry and others like dry and die when wet.Back and forth from super wet toalmost wilting dry is best. Also keep in mind that a

drowning plant exhibits the same symptoms as a dry one: wilting and die back. To know ifit is dry just add a small amount of water…if its looks improved itwas dry. If, however, it doesn’t improve

in an hour or so then your onlyhope is that you can save what’s left of the rotting rootsby drying them out. A last ditcheffort is to gently remove the suffocating plant from the potand throw out any loose wet soil from the pot and replace it with '��Q �� plant back in the now drier soil. Just handle with care and don’tbreak up the root ball or remove

During our conversation, we asked Chief Jackson what his �� Chief’s seat.

Even if you have no previous medical experience, your willingness to help can make a huge difference both to the Squad and to your community. Once every 8 days, for 6 to 12 hours, you could be making your community a safer place to live, laugh and love.

“I was a legal secretary before moving down here. No formal medical experience.” Says Schramm, “But this is the best work I’ve done in my life.”

“You get a real sense of family, a strong sense of camaraderie.” Adds Simon. “If you’re going to make one New Years resolution, this is the best commitment to make. Get involved in the Emergency Squad.”

Be a good neighbor.

Community Alert With Deputy Rob Hang on to your Golf Carts

Once again, the bad guys have found Sun City Center. While crime in our town is relatively rare, it does happen. Recently, golf carts have been disappearing all over town. Most of these have been Club Cars, but they are certainly not the only ones at risk. As many you know, there are only a few different keys for the carts out there.

We should all be careful.I have heard all kinds of ways

that people try to keep their carts safe. Some swear by kill switches. Some just get unique

keys made. I have to tell you, though, that while these might be good ideas, none of them are foolproof. The best way to keep your

vehicles safe is, of course, to keep them stored in a locked garage – with the garage door closed all the way. In the six years I have been your Community Resource Deputy, I have only seen one instance of a golf cart being taken from a locked garage. What I have seen a lot of is carts going missing from open parking lots and carports. These locations present a special hazard that might seem daunting, but could be made more secure with just a little bit of effort.If you have ever taken a critical

look at your golf cart, you have noticed that when you pull the seat up to access the battery compartment, the rail on the side of that seat is right up next to the steering wheel. If you take a bicycle lock and secure

that bar to the cross piece on the steering wheel, it becomes almost impossible to steer the cart. If thieves cannot steer the cart, they are less likely to steal them.Again, this plan is no guarantee

that your will never be stolen. No prevention is 100 percent reliable. Still, taking an extra minute to secure your golf cart

can easily be the differencebetween getting years of funand use out of it and mourning its loss.

parade goers. Thanks to the long awaited return of the Cart Parade,the crowd of over one thousand residents and guests started their holiday season off with a festive display of community unity. As theevent drew to a close, steps were lighter, smiles were wider and thecarols of the season were ringing in the air.Here’s hoping this parade marches right back into the annual

fourteen days you can use the water-soluble fertilizer, 20-10-20 or 12-2-12. Again, do not over fertilize. The middle number is phosphate but around this part of Florida the water is usually rich with it because of all the limestone beneath the ground.It is this phosphate that is the big

factor in run-off and wetlands pollution so you shouldn’t use much. Let’s stop the algae blooms and “Dead Zones” in the gulf.Grooming your container

garden means periodic dead-�� '��and old leaves. Give it a light trimming to keep it looking its best. Don’t be shy about giving

plants a “haircut”. Cutting 1/3 off the plant will rejuvenate it � � �� '�� more. So to sum up: ��Drainage holes��Potting soil not topsoil��Seasonal plant selection and

replacement��Lighting suitability��Watering cycle��Timed-release fertilizer��Clean and trim

Some container gardens have been beautiful year-round for decades!Editor’s Note: Send us pictures of your gorgeous container gardens [email protected] “Container Gardens” in the subject line.If you would like Anne to answer your horticulture questions,email the News of Kings Point [email protected] look forward to hearing fromyou!

Dear Catherine:I really love the holidays, but once they are behind me, I always seem to get depressed. I begin to miss my family up-north, I feel bored and yet I � �� interests me. Is this normal? How can I prevent feeling this way and what should I do? Delores in Apollo BeachDear Delores: #� �� [��QYES! It is very normal to come down with a case of the post-holiday blues. Most of us begin anticipating the holidays in October and we stay pretty busy up through the New Year. Once January hits, however, everything suddenly stops. To add to this change in activity level, some of us are disappointed at the way the holidays actually turned out, or we’ve spent more money than we should have and are now facing those January credit card bills. Whatever the reason, there are things you can do to pick yourself up and begin to feel better.

Most of us need to have apurpose in life. In other words, we need to feel needed. Ifyou are not involved in any meaningful activities, think about volunteering at a local charity, school, church or nursinghome. Most organizationswelcome volunteers and will have a job or task that interestsyou and is useful to them. Stay in touch with family and friends up-north, but look for social outlets here as well. Perhaps youcould take an exercise class atthe local Y, join a card club orsign up for an art class. There aremany different and affordableactivities available throughout�� (� � ��Q �� *��soon, you may be suffering fromclinical depression, which is a treatable illness, so you should see your doctor if your “blue mood” does not lift in a week ortwo.

Let me just tell you up front. I LOVE Anna Maria. There is simply no place quite like it in a state FULL of one-of-a-kind places. Is it the atmosphere? Is it the shopping? Is it the food? The beach? The sunset? It’s all of those things in one way or another and maybe something different for everyone, but I can tell you this before you ever go – you WILL be back!Stretching seven miles from

the sugar sand of Bean Point in the north to the wave riders of Longboat Pass in the south, Anna Maria Island is one of Florida’s most heavenly patches of paradise.Ponce De Leon, the seeker of

the fabled Fountain of Youth “discovered” the island in the early 1500’s and named it “Ana Maria Cay” in honor of his mother and the Blessed Virgin. Ponce also discovered that the island was already occupied. The Timucan Indians discouraged the Spaniard, though not the others who would come behind him. In 1539 another conquistador, Hernando de Soto, settled his El Dorado expedition force on Bradenton Beach. When he succumbed to disease, his men went back to Mexico and the Spanish left the Gulf Coast alone for hundreds of years.In 1892, George Emerson Bean

Adopt a friend THAT CARES! Sonic and Daisy want to be yours

in 2010

Beginning in 2001, the Critter Adoption & Rescue Effort has been providing second chances at life for healthy, adoptable companion animals. These critters would not

have made it without the work of theses amazing folks – and the support of animal lovers in all the communities of South Hillsborough.

Here are this month’s featured adorable adoptables: Sonic Photo Credit: Judy Stimson

Sonic is a handsome male buff tabby. He was relinquished by his elderly owner who could no longer care for him. Sonic is friendly, neutered, up-to-date on shots, litter-box trained, and microchipped. He enjoys being on the screened-in lanai and knows the word “lizard.” Come give Sonic a forever home!

Daisy ��

Daisy is a lovely Lab/Terrier mix. Sadly, her arrival at C.A.R.E. was the result of her

parents’ divorce. Daisy loves to run and retrieve tennis balls. The joy she spreads to her human caretakers is enormous. Daisy knows basic commands and is housebro-

ken. She has also been spayed, micro-chipped, and brought up-to-date on her

shots.

Poem submissionA Little Boy Who’s Now A Man

Written By Betty Hocut

As I walk today by the edge of the seaMemories of yesterday come to meThoughts of how I laughed and ranWith a little boy who’s now a man

We gathered shells and built castles tallAnd in the sound of the wind I still hear him call

Try to catch me if you think you canSaid the little boy who’s now a man

I’d pretend he was just out of reachAs chased after him down the beach

Then we’d sit quietly in the sand by the seaAnd he would tell all his dreams to me

The footprints my little boy left in the sandGrew bigger each year as we walked hand in hand

Until one day as we walked by the seaI saw that my son was taller than me

I knew that someday soon it would beThat he’d be too busy for our trips to the sea

So I cherished each moment and tucked it away.To keep and remember on a day like today

O’er the sands of time in my memories I seeMy little boy walking again with me

I remember again how I laughed and ranWith a little boy who’s now a man.

Life is change...this much we know.

We plant a seed,we watch it grow.

A caterpillar,small and shy,

Unfurls into��##��

An acorn fallsso it can be

Transformed intoa sturdy tree.

And so we knowwhen change arrivesAcross the landscape

of our lives,We still can trustthat it will mean

A special Blessingnot yet seen.

A“A” stands for abacus,

A gizmo that adds when we can’t.“A” stands for aardvark,

Whose favorite lunch is an ant.“A” stands for average,

Something we try to exceed.But it takes real work and diligence,

To insure that we will succeed.Your ability is certainly apparent,

You have shown it again with this feat,And we want to commend your effort,

‘Cause getting all “A’s” is real neat!Submitted by: Jim Scott

AN EXTRA CHANCE

Declarer’s primary responsibility atthe start of play is to ascertain andthen proceed with the line of play thatoffers the best chance to make thecontract. This plan should include aprovision to take advantage of any lieof the cards that may add to hischances without hurting them, even ifthat possibility is not particularlylikely.

Consider this case where Southmissed an opportunity to improvesignificantly on his chances of mak-ing four hearts and, as a result, went

down one. East won the opening dia-mond lead with the ace and returned adiamond to South’s king.

Declarer promptly led the queen ofhearts and let it ride, percentagewisethe correct play missing the K-x-x ofthe suit. East won with the king andreturned a third diamond, ruffed bySouth.

Declarer drew the missing trumpand cashed his club winners beforeleading the ace and another spade.When East turned up with both theking and jack, the contract was kaput.

South expressed his dismay at hav-ing lost to the singleton king of heartsand later finding the K-J of spadesbadly placed. Nevertheless, heshould have made his game. The crit-ical play came early, when he erredby taking the heart finesse. Beforedoing so, he should have taken thenecessary steps to protect against thepossibility that East might have thesingleton king.

After taking the second trick,declarer should play the K-A of clubsand then ruff dummy’s remainingdiamond. The advantage of thissequence of plays can be seen whenSouth next tries the heart finesse, los-ing to the singleton king.

After winning the trick, East mustreturn a club or a diamond, yielding aruff-and-discard, or else return aspade. Either way, declarer can’t losemore than one spade trick, and thecontract is assured.
