Sun City Center is fortunate to have two theater companies, The Performing Arts Company and the Pelican Players, to entertain audiences from the greater Tampa Bay area. Both companies have recently appointed women to lead the way. These women have great energy, are passionate about theater, and are excellent performers who are both dedicated to ensuring the future of theater in the South Shore. PAC President, Ellen Kleinschmidt and Pelican Players President, Linda Halperin have dynamic new approaches to theater growth and hopes for South Shore theater lovers. To borrow the title of a song from the popular Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific, “There is nothing like a dame”. And when it comes to excellence in theater production and management, these two dynamic, dedicated “dames” are out to prove that they’ve got what it takes to get the job done!!Both Linda and Ellen come

from strong, yet different theater backgrounds. Linda was a theater major in college where she learned all aspects of theater production. But her career for 25

years has been as an oncology social worker. Her retirement goal was to become involved with a local theater company. Imagine her joy when she found the Pelican Players in her own backyard. Ellen’s career has been in music education, with 25 years spent as an elementary music specialist. She has spent the last 13 years learning everything she could about the world of musical theater, both onstage and off. Her playground has been The Riverview Little Theater and The Rollins Theater, home of the Performing Arts Company.A recent meeting between the

two presidents focused on how each group could work together to contribute to the success of the performing arts in the South Shore. Plans discussed include cross advertising, promoting each others’ shows, syncing calendars to avoid overlapping of performances and meeting on a regular basis to brainstorm issues and new ideas. A director’s workshop, conducted by PAC Chairman of the Board and former NY actor and director, Lew Resseguie and sponsored by both theater companies, is scheduled for this summer. Part of the future will most

probably cause the two companies to unite in some fashion in order to continue presenting musicals and plays to an audience that doesn’t have to drive 45 minutes to Tampa or Sarasota for their theater entertainment. Foremost on both women’s agendas is to make sure that the surrounding communities know that all

performances by both theater companies are open to the public. Everyone is welcome to audition and to attend all shows! The primary goal of the

Pelican Players has been to provide college scholarships to high school seniors interested in pursuing a degree in the performing arts. Halperin

By E. Adam PorterNews of Kings PointWalk into the North Clubhouse

and hang a left down the hallway. You can’t miss it. Peek inside and find a world in miniature, men studying it with deep concentration. Some tinker with this and that. Others flip switches and watch as their tiny trains come to life, chugging quietly down the track. The engines and their cars pass through industrial areas, countryside and small towns, all wrought in whimsical detail. One glance and two things become abundantly clear – what you are looking at sure took a lot of work, and these guys are having a blast. One of the latest decisions

by the club is a plan to move away from DC current to DCC current. Member, Jim Langdoc, explains, “DCC or Digital Direct Current will allow us to do more. The trains can be operated more realistically. Model railroads for years have been run on the idea that to move

the train you turn the current to the rails on and off. With DCC the rails are hot the whole time. You can dial up or down the speed of the train, regulating the engine rather than the power to the rails.”The cost of the DCC conversion

will be largely covered by a grant from the Kings Point

COA. “This grant allows us to prepare for the future. We can modernize the layout and prepare for new members who are accustomed to using DCC current in their own train sets.” Langdoc said.Though the setup – and it’s

expansive – has Grand Central, Orlando and Kings Point

stations, the environments are not precisely modeled after any specific geographical or metro area. The guys just let their imaginations drive their creativity. “Some of it is industrial and some of it is residential. A large part of it is industrial because that is where it makes

TheEditor’s Corner

By E. Adam Porter, Editor in Chief, NOKPRecently I was chatting with

several reporter and editor friends about one of our favorite old saws… the “state of the media these days.”While it’s true that much

has changed, much has remained the same. Because of the increasing immediacy of the appetite for breaking news, most national and international news is being consumed, discussed and shared online. Some larger metro publications are doing well, while many are suffering. All are trying to figure out how to mix web and print without losing money.Larger publications that are

doing well have discovered a “secret” that folks like us knew a long time ago. People love local news. We pick up our community publications like News of Kings Point and News of Sun City Center because they are the story of us. We don’t have to ask why

these stories matter, because they are about us and for us. They matter because we matter. Our communities, our friends, our neighbors. The places we like to go and the things we love to do. Local community

publications protect what we value most. Community pride, local institutions, traditions and culture. They show us what is happening close to home and offer us opportunities to get involved. And, of course, we love to see ourselves in the paper.So, what is in this particular

community publication this month? You may have already read

about the guys having fun making those tiny trains run on time. Be sure to bring your grandkids by if they visit this summer. And about those classy ladies joining forces to bring great community

theater to Southshore and SCC. Pelican Players and PAC are doing amazing work both in and for this community. So, be sure to check them out and fill the seats at their shows. In this issue you can also read

about the incredible SCC Emergency Squad, all the latest club and faith community news, and hear from Debbie Caneen about the countless ways you can connect with your community this month. There’s also some terrific stories about our local CERT program, our local veterans groups, an update from Deputy Castillo and, of course, our travel guru, Eddie Dixon, has more stories and pictures sent in from folks who took a trip, and took NOKP with them. Classifieds…Many readers have asked

about NOKP printing classifieds. Some of you have contacted us online to share your support of the idea. Thank you for letting your voice be heard. We appreciate your input. Because we are a print

monthly, we are looking into an Internet based classified system where residents of Kings Point, SCC and South Hillsborough can share information, buy locally and sell locally. We have not finalized our plan with regard to that, but we will keep you posted via our website at www.NewsOfKingsPoint.com. If you have not yet subscribed to our site, take a moment to do so right now. Go to www.newsofkingspoint.com, scroll down and submit your email. I will announce our decision

with regards to online classified ads in News of Kings Point in the July issue, but you will find out first on the website. So keep those opinions coming in via our submission form at the site. Happy summertime, friends.

Have fun. Stay cool…and enjoy reading News of Kings Point cover to cover each month.

Why Local News Matters

June Poem SubmissionsHe Whispers…Leaves sway with divine syncopations;Chimes sing both silent and thunderous melodies;Pinwheels spin with dizzying splendor whileflags dance in wanton celebration.With wind alight from Heaven,He whispers His loving purpose for all things.

emphasizes that “My first priority as president was to ensure that we safeguard our commitment to our scholarship program. The Board of Directors is now in the process of creating a lifelong endowment to support higher education students majoring in the performing arts.” Says Halperin of her goals as president: “I would like to see The Pelican Players evolve and grow into a well-respected community theatre. “The Performing Arts Company of

Sun City Center is committed to staging full seasons of theatrical productions, conducting educational activities in acting, voice, dance and other theater skills, transforming The Rollins Theater into a first-class venue and, eventually, building a state-

of-the art theater. The vision of the Performing Arts Company is to one day become an Actors’ Equity Association theater company which will allow them to bring in NY touring companies, hire professional actors and produce the highest possible quality of theater productions, especially musicals. With the dedication, talent

and commitment to excellence these two “dames” possess, audience members and actors alike are in for a fabulous season of theatrical excellence. “Both companies working together toward a common goal is a win-win situation”, says Kleinschmidt eagerly. With a future that looks exciting and bright let’s hear if for the girls and as they say in the theater, “BREAK A LEG, LADIES”!!!!

The stage is set for a “Cool Summer of Red Hot Entertainment” at the Rollins Theater in Sun City Center. The Performing Arts Company of SCC presents a series of seven shows as part of their “P.A.C.

eight-day cruise that took them to Antigua, WI, Puerto Rico and Nassau.Paul said his favorite

moment was swimming with stingrays in Antigua. Another recommended stop was the Bacardi Distillery in Puerto Rico. One wish The Jorgensens passed along was that would have liked to spend more time in the ports. While that is not always controlled by the ships, tine in port may be something to ask about when you book your next cruise. Thank you Paul, Linda and

friends for filling us in on your fun Caribbean Cruise. Looks like you had a terrific time!

Friends in FijiJudy Lawhon won an incentive

trip to Fiji through her company, Stampin’ Up. She invited Bev Carnes to travel with her. The friends took off on April 28 and got back to the USA on May 12.Judy and Bev spent five days

in Fiji before moving on for nine days in Australia, where they visited Sidney, Ayers Rock and Cairns. They visited several native villages, two rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef. Bev had a great time snorkeling

over the beautiful coral of the reef surrounded by fish “of every color you can imagine. While it was just the two of them,

Judy and Bev worked with the travel company that handled the Stampin’ Up trip to book several additional tours. Bev’s favorite moments

included the Sigatoka River Cruise in Fiji, where they enjoyed

a native village welcome and lunch. Another favorite Fiji destination was the Garden of the Sleeping Giant.Bev said the people of Fiji were

warm, genuine and friendly. “It is probably the thing that stands out the most from the trip. Everybody speaks to you wherever you are! As they say, you are ‘on Fiji time.’ Which is slow and pleasant!”Down Under they liked the Blue

Mountains and the rainforests as well as Ayers Rock and, of course, the Great Barrier Reef. Bev said, of all the Aussie sites, Daintree Rainforest and the Reef were tops. Bev said Sydney is a bustling and

interesting city. “We ate dinner in the revolving tower, 1000 ft. in the air and I got some beautiful shots of Sydney at night. Very unique foods there - kangaroo rump in

plum sauce, crocodile sausage and emu sausage along with veggies done in a ‘down under’ way and barramundi, a delicious white fish.”Bev warns folks traveling to

Sydney to be prepared for steep prices. Almost everything there is more expensive than you might be accustomed to. Though they did find a taste of home Down Under. “There were McDonalds almost everywhere and in Australia, and there is Burger King but it is called Happy Jack.”We think it is terrific that so

many of you are excited about taking your News of Kings Point along with you to so many exotic destinations, and we would love to hear more about your trips. We will continue to publish

stories based on interviews I have Continued on Page 13



Emergency Squad And South Bay MeetSubmitted by: Jan Huber, Asst. Chief PR

The administrative staffs of South Bay Hospital and the Emergency Squad met on April 30. The purpose of the meeting was to share information that could positively impact our ability to provide quality care to our patients. The Squad and South Bay Hospital share a great partnership in the

community. Last year the Squad responded to 6800 emergency calls and the vast majority of the patients were transported to South Bay. It was interesting to note the excellent level of care that goes into servicing the patients as well as the components that make up a successful hospital stay with a good outcome.Interfaith Council Awards $5,000 Grant.

The Interfaith Council of Greater Sun City Center recently awarded the Emergency Squad a grant of $5,000.00 to be utilized toward the purchase of 8 brand new AED’s. The Squad is very grateful for this donation because it helps to offset the total cost of close to $24,000. The new machines are lightweight and more compact. Each AED Lifepak 1000 comes in it’s own sturdy case with rugged handles.

Submitted by MJ RiceWelcome news! As of mid April

Freedom Plaza may now offer its residents the opportunity to be members of the Sun City Center Community Association. Fact, many long time residents of Sun City Center choose to move into Freedom Plaza because of the end of life care available and often miss the facilities SCC has to offer them. Although Freedom Plaza, a Brookdale Senior Retirement Community is a busy, active senior citizen campus that offers a variety of clubs and activities including golf and tennis (the new courts opened in April) many former Sun City Residents miss the associations they left behind. A long time coming, it has taken

the better part of five years and many discussions between the CA Board and Freedom Plaza. Meeting many times over the years, representatives of both parties, Anne Marie LeBlanc, SCCCA, and Connie Lesko, FP Business Development Coordinator hammered out the new agreement. Approved and signed by both parties in mid April, 2013 Freedom Plaza (Brookdale) has agreed to pay a users fee for each authorized resident, which will be the same amount as the CA annual membership dues. With the signing of the

agreement between Brookdale and the Sun City Center Community Association residents of Freedom Plaza who wish to join the CA may now apply. After following a set procedure and when approved applicants will be issued a new yellow badge with FP following their name. Let the fun begin as FP resident who care to may now enjoy all the

facilities of their neighbor, SCC. Freedom Plaza Residents

thoroughly enjoyed the Cinco de Mayo events that opened with the Chili Cook Off on May 3. Guests from other Brookdale communities were greeted by live “Burros on the Boulevard” as they came down American

Eagle. Residents and guests alike were delighted with the festive decorations, the music, the Margaritas and of course, the Chili tasting! All this excitement was followed by a golf tournament hosted by Freedom Fairways the following Monday. A full field of golfers enjoyed, what else, Margaritas and Salsa in the pro shop following play. The Dance Clubs’ monthly event also featured the Cinco de Mayo theme. Amid colorful and bright decorations guests and residents danced the evening away to the sizzling music of Mario de Leon “The Merry Month of May”

ended appropriately enough with the very first production by the new drama club, The Plaza Players. “The Radio Show WFPZ” was a rousing success as the cast provided comic skits from radio shows the audience could

easily relate to. “Who’s on First” (Abbott and Costello) always an audience favorite garnered lots of laughs were as did the skits from Fibber McGee and Molly, Baby Snooks and The Bickersons. Flash news reports relating to Freedom Plaza filled out the evening that took everyone back to the hay days of radio.

By NOKP StaffAs Jimmy Buffett ably explained,

you cannot reason with Hurricane Season. But you can be prepared. According to NOAA and the National Hurricane Center there are two keys to weather safety – preparing for the risks and acting on those preparations when alerted by emergency officials. Here are the steps as provided by the National Weather Service, NOAA and the National Hurricane Center.

Gather InformationKnow if you live in an evacuation

area. Assess your risks and know your home’s vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind. Understand National Weather

Service forecast products and especially the meaning of NWS watches and warnings. Contact your local National

Weather Service office and local government/emergency management office. Find out what type of emergencies could occur and how you should respond. Keep a list of contact information for reference. Many of these numbers are available at www.NewsOfKingsPoint.com. • Local Emergency Management Office• County Law Enforcement• County Public Safety Fire/ Rescue• State, County and City/Town Government• Local Hospitals• Local Utilities• Local American Red Cross• Local TV Stations• Local Radio Stations• Your Property Insurance Agent

Plan & Take ActionEveryone needs to be prepared

for the unexpected. Your friends and family may not be together when disaster strikes. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children or parents are safe? You may have to evacuate or be confined to your home. What will you do if water, gas, electricity or phone services are shut off?

Supplies KitPut together a basic disaster

supplies kit and consider storage locations for different situations. Help community members do the same. Develop and document plans for your specific risks.• Water – one gallon per per-son per day for at least 3 days, remember this is not just drinking water• Food for at least a week•Battery or handcrank radio and a NOAA weather radio, extra batteries•Flashlight and extra batteries•Well stocked first aid kid•A whistle or megaphone to signal for help•Wrench or pliers to shut off utilities

•Moist towelettes, garbage bags and Ziplock bags for personal sanitation•Manual can opener•Solar power charger for cell phones and other handheld devices

Evacuation• Review the FEMA Evacuation

Guidelines to allow for enough time to pack and inform friends and family if you need to leave your home. FOLLOW instructions issued by local officials. Leave immediately if ordered!• Consider your protection

options to decide whether to stay or evacuate your home if you are not ordered to evacuate.

If you stay…Be on the lookout for tornadoes,

which are often spawned by hurricanes. Also, the eye of a hurricane may make it seem as if the storm is over, but after the eye passes, the wind will change direction and return to hurricane force. *Information reprinted by right

Men’s Club annual Ladies Day LuncheonSubmitted by John Armstrong

Lily Marlane entertained members and their wives at the Men’s Club Annual Ladies Day Luncheon on May 15, in the Community Hall. She performed songs from the musicals “Funny Girl”,” Phantom of the Opera” and others. Her final song “ MY Way”, a Lily favorite, made famous by Frank Sinatra received a standing ovation from the 200 plus guest. Prior to each song, Lily provide history about the song, which was informative and entertaining. Gary Bowman, Special Project

V.P., reminded members that the Club delivers Meals on Wheels during July and members can call Gary at 633.8102 to volunteer.The luncheon was catered by

Banquet Masters. Everyone had a great time and is looking forward to the next Ladies Luncheon in December.

KPAL Artist of the MonthMarilyn Miller Bone was born

and raised on a dairy farm in West Virginia. She graduated from Florida Southern College in Lakeland. Other than living in Atlanta for five years, she has lived in Florida. After retiring from a family-owned business, she started to fulfill her long time desire to learn to paint by studying with local watercolor and acrylic teachers. She is presently in Diane Simon’s class. Marilyn sums up her attitude about painting by simply stating. “Painting is all about having fun.” I hope you will find time to stop by

the Art Studio window in the Kings Point North Clubhouse sometime in June to enjoy some of the wonderful paintings by Marilyn.

Scandinavian Club Show & TellThe Scandinavian Club of Sun City Center held its annual Show & Tell last month in the Florida Room. A dozen presenters showed a variety of memorabilia, Scandinavian books and recipes, cooking utensil and pictures from generations of families to make it the most comprehensive show we have had. The beautiful women’s national costumes attracted keen interest among the attendees. Many thanks to all the presenters for their efforts and to Sew ‘n Sew for letting us use their mannequins.Pictures by Gary Bowman, V.P. Specials projects

sense to run side tracks for switching.” Langdoc explained. When the Model Railroad

Club began a quarter century ago, the setup was much smaller, modular and relatively portable. It had to be set up each time it was used and taken down right after. “Eventually this room became a club room and it was shared with a model airplane club, a model boat club, even a dollhouse club.” Langdoc said.One by one interest waned

and those clubs concluded. Interest in the Railroad Club continued. Currently the group has eighteen active members. Subsequently the Model Railroad Club was granted the use of the entire room. Over a period of fifteen years the modular layout gave way to a permanent setup. A panoramic scene winds around the room creating a realistic backdrop for the model. A trio of Kings Point Artists – Pat Herzberg, Cynthia Wortmann and Bob Ewing – painted the backdrop.The club is in the process

of building a new 4’ by 8’ portable model to take to schools, libraries, the Boy Scouts and other places that may be interested in seeing a model railroad demonstration. “This layout will allow us to spread the word about model railroading as a hobby.” Langdoc said.Club members said quite a

few Kings Point residents bring their grandchildren by the room

when they are visiting during the summer. “We love it when the kids come by.” Joe Collins said. “We had the woodshop make us this step stool to allow children to get a closer look at the setup.”“We just pull it up and let

the kids climb up and see everything.” Langdoc added.“When the kids come by it’s

interesting to watch them, especially the four and five year olds. When they see the trains come by we see them identifying the colors and counting the cars.” Collins said.The club also keeps Junior

Engineer Certificates on hand to offer the kids who come by to visit.The stated goals of the club

include maintaining and broadening an interest in model railroading, maintaining the layout, socializing with other members and just having a good time. I like a group that puts “fun” in its bylaws. If this sort of thing sounds like fun to you, membership in the Model Railroad Club is open to any resident of Kings Point. While use of the facilities is limited to members of the club, anyone is welcome to come by for a visit. Meeting days and times are posted on the door of the Model Railroad Club room in the North Clubhouse.

Anyone interested is welcome to contact Jim Langdoc at 813.753.9598 or by email at [email protected].

Do you have the same helpless feeling that I have when I hear about a “Silver Alert”? I hope and pray that the missing individual will be quickly located before anything unwanted takes place.A Frightening statistic that brings this dilemma to light: 94% of

Alzheimer’s wanderers are found within 1.5 miles of where they were last seen (vs. 65% for elderly without Alzheimer’s). In addition, 75% were not found on standard roads, trails or other standard travel locations. You must certainly be vigilant as a caregiver of someone with

Dementia, but if you would like some assistance, Deputy Jason Castillo with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office wants you to know about SafetyNet™ by LoJack®. From their website, they state the following: SafetyNet™ by LoJack® addresses the risks associated with the growing number of people with cognitive conditions that wander and become lost. SafetyNet includes a bracelet worn by a client that has a condition such as Alzheimer’s, autism, Down syndrome and dementia and who is at risk of wandering. If the client goes missing, his or her caregiver reports the incident. Public Safety agencies that LoJack trains, certifies and equips with special SafetyNet Search and Rescue equipment are dispatched. These trained public safety personnel track the signal being emitted from the bracelet worn by the client.By using the SafetyNet™ service, public safety agencies can

more effectively find and rescue People at Risk, eliminating traditional searches that often take countless man-hours. Caregivers gain peace of mind knowing that when a loved one wanders away, there is a way to bring them back safe and sound.For a onetime enrollment fee of $99.00, LoJack will dispatch

Deputy Sheriff Jason Castillo to handle the enrollment procedure for you. He will take a picture of your loved one, teach you how to test the bracelet daily to confirm it is active and ready for use, review the emergency procedure with you and then will change the battery every 6 months as part of the agreement. The bracelet is waterproof and is to be left on for the entire 6 month period. This service costs either $30 per month or $330 per year. There is a 30 day money back guarantee providing all monies will be refunded if for some reason your loved one is unable to wear the bracelet. To find out more about LoJack, call 1-877-4-FIND-THEM (1-877-434-6384) or visit SafetyNetByLoJack.com.

The LEO LetterWith Deputy Jason Castillo

Lock it UpRecently, the Hillsborough

County Sheriff arrested a suspect in what officers believe to be a connected vehicle theft and separate vehicle burglary. We caught those we believe to be responsible and the property has been recovered. The purpose in reporting this crime is not to scare folks. We want to explain that these crimes were what could be called “crimes of opportunity.In both cases, the vehicles were

left unsecured and unattended. In the case of the stolen car, the vehicle was left unlocked. The thief simply opened the door and was able to smash the lock on the console and get the vehicle to crank. Fortunately in these cases the stolen property was recovered.In an unrelated case, HCSO

responded to a stolen golf cart in the community. Again, we believe this to be a case of criminal opportunity. The vehicle was left unattended and easily accessible. The lesson here is simple, lock

it up. Even if you are “just going to be a minute,” lock it up. Even if you are “just running back inside,” lock it up. It is much easier to lock your doors or to secure your golf cart than to come out and find your vehicle gone. You may think you will be too quick for anyone to notice, but those are exactly the sorts of situations opportunistic criminal look for.

Beat the HeatWe all know how hot it can be

here in the summer time, but for some reason it always seems to surprise us. Each year HCSO responds to two very common heat-related calls. The first is heatstroke. Heatstroke

can really sneak up on you. It’s a gorgeous morning so you decide to go out and weed the garden or mow the lawn. You may not even think about how quickly the heat can catch up with you. Every year many, many people learn this lesson the hard way. The time to get hydrated, even if you just plan to be outside a short time, is before you start working. Drink a glass or two of water before heading out into the heat. Then be sure to stay hydrated as you continue to work. The second common heat-

related call is pets left in cars. We all know that our dogs love to ride along with us in the car. What many people do not seem to realize is just how quickly your vehicle can turn into a danger zone for a pet left inside. Even if you “crack” the windows, this does not allow enough heat to escape. In the Florida summer sun, your car can become an oven in minutes. Your best bet is to never leave your pet unattended in any vehicle, ever.

CRIME AWARENESS MEETINGSDo not miss the community

Sun City Seniors Win On the Road

On May 6, 2013 a scramble golf tournament was held at the Belleview Biltmore Golf and Country Club, in Belleview Florida, to support the Clearwater Free Clinic. The Tournament raises funds to help those that cannot afford medical care on their own. The Clearwater Classic has been held for many years at Feather

Sound CC, but moved this year to the Belleview Biltmore GC. This year’s tournament had a full field of 144 golfers and our Sun City Golfers were the winning team at 17 under par scoring an amazing 17 birdies and 1 par, which set a new scoring total for the Clearwater Free Clinic Tournament. The second place team was at 15 under par, so there was not much room for error. The team from Scepter Golf Club is made up of Gene Newby

(hdcp 5), Roy Caudill (hdcp 3), David Brown (hdcp 6) and Mike Almaguer (hdcp 2) were awarded trophies custom made by Dennis DeBon. These Sun City Seniors will be trying to make it two in a row by playing in the SCC Chamber Cup and have extended a monetary challenge against last year’s winners.

Thank You, July 4 Breakfast Volunteers

When Sam and Joanne Sudman put out the call for volunteers to man the July 4 breakfast, the community was quick to respond. They now have 110—about 90 percent of the number they need—to serve the hundreds of people expected at the breakfast on July 4, 7 a.m. to noon, at Community Hall on S. Pebble Beach Blvd. What a great way to start your July 4 celebration—a pancake breakfast with friends. They still have room for a few more volunteers, so give them a

Adopt a Friend That C.A.R.E.s Tippy is a gray and white

kitten who was recently born to his mom, Sally at C.A.R.E. His three siblings, Juliet, Romeo and Grayson are also at C.A.R.E. Tippy is a curious little guy and is very playful and friendly. He loves to play with the other kittens at the shelter. But Tippy would like most of all to come to live at a forever home of his own. Please come and see this handsome kitten and give him that home. Tippy will be spayed, microchipped. He is current on his shots. DOB: January 2, 2013. Roscoe needs a hero!! Roscoe

came to C.A.R.E. along with a terrifying story. His rescuers told us that a cruel person pushed his head into an empty cheese ball bucket! He was seen running around the woods with his head lodged in the bucket for four days. He was panting, emaciated, and scared. Finally, some persistent bystanders

trapped him and removed the bucket. Since arriving at the shelter, he has physically healed and gained weight. He is still quite timid around strangers. With time and kindness (a little cheese never hurts), Roscoe’s true personality surfaces. He is very sweet and goofy. He loves the doggy pool and to sit like a circus bear for treats. Roscoe knows many commands and is eager to learn. He also enjoys the company of the other dogs (except small breeds). Roscoe will need a patient, dog savvy owner who can give him time to trust and fully recover from his past. We are very optimistic that in the right hands, Roscoe will thrive. Can you be Roscoe’s hero? No apartments please. Roscoe is neutered, microchipped, and current on his shots.

Feline Folks Volunteers Celebrate VictorySubmitted by Flo Vachon, President of Feline FolksFeline Folks Volunteers Laurel

Swift, Janie Hadley, Dan Boyle and Wendy Arnio celebrate a huge victory for Hillsborough cats immediately following the Hillsborough County Commissioners 6-1 vote to implement a new Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Release Program for feral cats. The pilot program called Be The Way Home will trap, neuter, vaccinate, microchip and release up to 2000 feral cats back into the community to reduce the euthanasia rate of cats at the Hillsborough animal shelters. The plan operates at no cost to taxpayers and Animals Services Director Ian Hallet stated that it is projected to save the county money as well as freeing up additional spaces so that

cats for adoption will have a longer time period to remain at the shelter before being euthanized. Be The Way Home advocates were out in big numbers supporting the plan with neon green t-shirts and many spoke at the meeting to advocate the plan which has been so successful in many counties across the country.

Submitted by John Bowker We have some remarkable

groups of locally trained people to provide service to the Sun City Center area in the event of a hurricane or other disaster. The energy exhibited at the annual Disaster Council meeting on May 9, organized by Bill Barron, President of the Sun City Center Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), highlighted the cooperative spirit and mutual communication abilities of each represented group.In addition to CERT,

presentations were made by the County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Squad, Samaritan Services, the security functions and amateur radio organizations of Kings Point and Sun City Center, and the management of both communities. The attendees in the Council meeting represented well over 1,000 volunteers in the two communities. The CERT volunteers are

organized in teams with Amateur Shortwave and Automatic Packet Radio Reporting System equipment, four generators, chainsaws, fire extinguishers, heavy tools, medical supplies, backboards, cots, blankets, two light stands, and tents. In an emergency, their central rallying point will be in the Chamber of Commerce building in the SCC Plaza. The public should be aware

that there are three phases of emergency responses to a hurricane. The announcement

of a Hurricane Warning by the National Weather Service (“NWS”) starts a sequence of assembling the teams to assure the expected personnel and support supplies will actually be available when the storm hits. The second phase begins when the NWS determines that wind speeds have reached 35 miles per hour. At that point, all volunteers and most county emergency personnel are sent home to ride out the storm. In fact, as was pointed out in the meeting, most of the homes in this area are safer for inhabitants than some of the organization buildings.In an emergency, our principal

point of contact with the county is Deputy Jason Castillo at his local office, 813-672-7817. In the absence of uniformed (county or state) personnel, CERT is in command of the incident during

the initial recovery period and coordinates each of the Sun City Center volunteer field teams. Mixed in with all the worrisome

aspects, are some good things. For example, you should tell your friends and family ‘up north’ to access the Amateur Radio website, www.sccarc.info to learn about conditions in Sun City Center if there is an emergency here. The website is located in Texas and can be accessed by our local radio folks using battery operated radios with antennas that could amount to little more that throwing a wire over the trunk of a tree that has come down. In fact, two-way message traffic can be handled on that website so inquiries from people out of town can be relayed by the radio operators to any local resident by telephone.

Ask Pete your

questions about

prostate cancer

Why don’t women have pros-

tates? It seems unfair to men!

A— Here’s a tricky question! Women do not have prostates—but in its place women have two ovaries and one uterus. So may-be it’s women who are unfairly burdened with organs that can become cancerous.

The prostate is considered a sex organ, part of the man’s re-productive system. Its function is to produce fluids that are needed for the transport and nourishment of the sperm at the time of ejaculation. For some reason that we do not under-stand, nearly all prostates will develop cancer over time. An-other mystery is why some of these cancers become aggres-sive killers, while others are slow-growing and not likely to kill you. We seek the answers!

By Steve BeckerPERFORMING THE IMPOSSIBLE

The military slogan “The difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes a little longer” would seem to apply perfectly to this deal.East won the opening heart

lead with the nine and continued with the A-K. Declarer then had to decide whether to ruff the third heart high or low.Given that East had apparently

started with six hearts, South decided to ruff with the ace on

the basis that West was more likely to have the greater spade length -- and therefore the queen -- than East. He then led the J-10 of trumps, finessing successfully both times. When East showed out on the second trump lead, however, it appeared that West -- who still had the Q-7 while dummy had the lone king -- had a sure trump trick.But declarer, undaunted,

managed to find a way to do West out of his trump trick. Abandoning further spade leads for the moment, South crossed to dummy with a diamond and led a club to the jack. He then cashed the ace of clubs and A-K of diamonds before exiting with a club to East’s king.At this point only two tricks

remained to be played. South had the 9-8 of spades, West the Q-7 and dummy the king of spades and nine of clubs. East, whose last two cards were hearts, was obliged to lead one.When South ruffed with the

eight, West found that his apparently impregnable trump trick had been obliterated. Whether he ruffed with the seven or the queen, declarer was sure to score the last two tricks and so make the contract. South had accomplished the impossible.©2013 King Features Synd. Inc.

• It was French Enlightenment author Voltaire who made the following sage observation: “Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.”• If you’re like the average

American, you laugh 15 times every day. • Have you ever heard of

an artist by the name of John Banvard? You’re to be forgiven if the name is unfamiliar; few people these days remember him. In the mid-19th century, though, he was something of a phenomenon. In 1840, the then-25-year-old man set off on a skiff down the Mississippi River. He spent more than a year on the river, sketching steadily along the way. After he completed the voyage, he spent another five years painting his “Panorama of the Mississippi,” an ambitious work that was 12 feet wide and more than 3 miles long. When completed, the painting was mounted on two upright revolving cylinders and displayed for the paying public throughout the U.S. and Europe, earning him $200,000 along the way.• In the 1960s, the miniskirt

was still controversial. Both the Vatican City and Disneyland refused entrance to women wearing the short skirts.• If you’re a fan of the TV

series “Dr. Who,” you probably know that the title character, a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, has two hearts. This may seem like science fiction (and, of course, it is), but it’s not unknown for a human to be born with two hearts. One such example was Giuseppe de Mai, born in Italy in the 19th century. The condition is rare, though; so rare, in fact, that the London Academy of Medicine offered de Mai $15,000 under the condition that it receive his body after his death. Thought for the Day: “Women

are like elephants to me. I like to look at ‘em, but I wouldn’t want to own one.” -- W.C. Fields© 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
