February is Full of History! I want to start by saying Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on their incredible and historic 2021 NFC Championship win. Since Tom Brady signed with the Bucs this offseason, not one but three professional Tampa Bay teams have made it to their respective championship matchups. My beloved Tampa Bay bolts ended the 2020 season as the Stanley Cup champions after beating the Dallas Stars. The Tampa Bay Rays made it to the World Series in October but fell to the L. A Dodgers, and now, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have a chance to win the Super Bowl this February. Go Bucs! Besides football, February is full of romance and food. Many of the days celebrated in national monthly events during February are food-oriented; I see you “Valentine’s Day” and “Chocolate Lover’s Month.” If you’ve read any of my previous articles and editorials, you know how big of a foodie I am, but this is not my focus. February also happens to host “American Heart Month” and “Black history month,” a couple of important causes that I wanted to bring awareness into. Focusing on your heart health has never been more important. Heart disease is the No.1 killer of Americans. People with poor cardiovascular health are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. The good news is that heart disease is preventable in most cases with healthy choices, which include: • Not smoking. • Maintaining a healthy weight. • Controlling blood sugar and cholesterol. • Treating high blood pressure. • Getting at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity physical activity a week. • Getting regular checkups. Research shows that we’re more successful at meeting personal health goals when we make them “public,” which gives us a sense of accountability. So if you’re
on social media, that means sharing your personal goals on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social platforms. Share your health goals with your relatives, friends, and acquaintances using hashtag #AmericanHeartMonth and #OurHearts, and see what others all over the country are doing to reach their goals. Bring awareness to the importance of having a self-care routine and inspire yourself and others to have a healthy heart! Since 1976, every American President has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The Black History Month 2021 theme, “Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity,” explores the dispersion and diversity of Black families across the United States. February is an opportunity to honor Black Americans’ too-often neglected accomplishments in every area of endeavor throughout history. Some ways to celebrate Black History Month include but are not limited to; Supporting an African American business. Visiting a Black History or Civil Rights Museum in your local area. Donating to a Black charity or non-profit organization. Signing up to mentor an African American child in your community. Calling out racism and prejudice in your community. Reading books and articles on Black leaders, authors, and other historical figures, amongst others. I hope you’re all still finding ways to stay positive, strong, and healthy throughout these unprecedented pandemic times. I know we were all hoping and expecting COVID19 to stay in 2020 and be over by now, but it’s still in full force. Please continue to do your part, and continue to make smart and healthy choices for yourself and your loved ones. Until next time,
Carla M. Dubis Tedeschi

2021 East Lake Woodlands Drive for a Cure The need is greater than ever for breast cancer patients as golfers, sponsors and donors gear up for the 2021 Drive for a Cure. We will be ready, and we hope you are ready too! The Four Person Team Scramble will take place on Friday, February 26, 2021, at the East Lake Woodlands Country Club. Arrival, checkin and pre-round snacks begin at 10:00 AM with an 11:30 AM shotgun start. There will be flights for women, men and mixed foursomes. You may form your own foursome, or be paired by the Pro Shop and Tournament Committee. The cost is $100.00 (if paid before February 19, 2021; or $115.00 if paid after February 19, 2021) and it covers golf, cart, range, a variety of snacks and food available during the day. All costs include a contribution to our charities. Different times dictate different precautions. In an effort to make this an enjoyable experience as well as a safe one for you, we have different guidelines for this event. All registration will be completed online at www. elwdriveforacure.com. We will practice social distancing including a divider in the carts. For your own safety as well as for 8 FEBRUARY 2021
others, please wear a mask when in the clubhouse. And, finally, this year’s auctions will be accessible online. Last year, in the U.S., there were an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 48,530 new cases of in situ breast cancer among women resulting in 42,170 breast cancer deaths (1:8). Although breast cancer in men is rare, it does happen. In 2020, there were an estimated 2620 new cases among men in the U.S. resulting in 500 deaths (1:883). East Lake Woodlands Drive for a Cure supports local efforts to spread awareness about breast health, assist with breast cancer screening,
provide diagnostic services and treatment, and provide short-term financial assistance to patients undergoing cancer treatment. The event supports Love Thy Neighbor (L.Y.N.) Fund, which provides financial assistance to breast cancer patients in active treatment and recovery in Pinellas and Pasco Counties. Our event supports the Morton Plant Mease Mammography Voucher Program (MVP) which provides screening, diagnostic and treatment for uninsured or underinsured patients in Pinellas County. Since 2007 the Drive has raised over $380,000. This year we have set our sights on the $450,000 mark for the organizations we
support. Participation and sponsorship is very important to this effort, and there are many opportunities available to help us meet our goals. Come play with us on our beautiful, top-quality golf courses; you’ll have a wonderful time and you will be instrumental in supporting this very worthwhile cause. For more complete information about the event, registration, sponsorship and donations, please visit our web site at: www. elwdriveforacure. comwww.facebook.com/ elwdriveforacure.com We’ll see you on February 26th!

Patient Shannon Terkoski has lost over 100 pounds in 8 months. “This one really is “The One That Works!” said Shannon. “In the past, I had tried several diet plans with limited success, so I was skeptical when I started, Medi Weightloss Clinic in Lutz. However, by following their direction, I had success every single week until I hit my goal! It was unimaginable!” These are just a few of the comments from MediWeightloss® Lutz patients that have changed their lives and are living a healthier and happy lifestyle. An additional

winning physicians, registered dietitians, and health care professionals who found a true passion in helping their clients achieve success and a healthy lifestyle.” Trained in Internal Medicine at Nassau University Medical Center in Long Island, New York, Dr. Andrew Weitzman, MD, Board Certified Internal Medicine, brings years of experience to Medi-Weightloss®, Lutz. Patty Pinson is a graduate of the Gordan Keller School of Nursing at Tampa General Hospital and has been working with Medi-Weightloss® for over 10 years. Certified Medical Assistant’s Karina Gonzalez and Alex Pierantoni are rencent to MEDI but have always had a passion for nutrition and fitness. Erin Jones has been with Medi-Weightloss® since 2012 as their Office Manager and Medical Assistant/ Nutrition Counselor. Implementing a healthy lifestyle has always been important to her and her family, and she enjoys helping others do the same. Erin was a patient before coming to work for Medi; she was so successful with the program she decided to join the MEDI Staff. Each one of these experts
have excelled in their specialty and play a vital role in our patient’s progress. They will spend time getting to know you and learning about your weight loss journey. They will develop a personalized threephase weight loss program that really works and provides long-lasting success. The Medi-Weightloss® Program is a 3 step lifestyle change. Phase one begins with the initial consultation. The 60-minute initial consultation includes a complete physical, including an EKG and comprehensive blood panel. Your weight and body fat analysis will be recorded, and you will discuss exercise and nutrition as well as the expectations for both going forward. Supplements combined with B1 and B6 injections may be prescribed, which have been proven to curb cravings, giving a huge advantage over someone who is going at weight-loss alone. All diets do not work equally for everyone, that’s why Medi-Weightloss® Clinic is dedicated to helping you identify a program that is tailored to your body’s unique needs. Dr. Weitzman will design a specific plan for you based on your medical health,
lifestyle and mobility. Diets are also designed for Vegetarians and patients with other specific needs. Dr. Weitzman will periodically adjust your program until you reach your goal weight. Short Term Maintenance begins when patients have achieved their GOAL weight. The goal is to gradually increase your calories and rebalance your diet in two easy steps, allowing your body to adapt to increased levels of energy and carbohydrates. We will give you recipes that will reintroduce all food groups back into your diet. Once you have maintained your goal weight, you will start the Wellness phase. Our monthly wellness visits are designed to provide you with the medical, nutritional, and fitness support you need to maintain your weight loss. We will determine your caloric prescription with ReeVue metabolic testing. This test will reveal your resting energy expenditure. Patients will continue to use the Signature Patient web site to continue to try different healthy recipes and review the exercise plans available. When the patient feels confident they can continue on their own. The Medi-Weightloss® Program is evidence-based

Tech Talk with Bob: Upgrade Safely
If you just got a new computer or are thinking about upgrading to a new system, you might just have a need for my team. Clients have found peace of mind with these two services we offer businesses and individuals. Data Transfers: If you are upgrading from an older computer to a newer one, you probably want to have all of your personal data transferred from your old computer to your new computer too. A lot of folks ask me if we can move their existing data (music, pictures, documents, videos, etc.) from their old computer to their new computer. We do this routinely. Clients tell me countless stories of data losses from attempting to transfer their files without using the proper techniques. We will safely and securely move your data quickly and painlessly. If the reason you are getting a new computer is because your old computer will not boot up, I usually can still recover your data off of your old dead system. Once you have upgraded to your new computer and have successfully transferred all of your pictures, documents, and other personal files over to it, what do you do with your old computer? First, never throw your old computer into the trash. It needs to be disposed of properly and responsibly because it contains elements that are not safe for our environment. In addition, most municipalities have laws
14 FEBRUARY 2021
and impose fines in regard to the proper/improper disposal of these items. Second, your discarded computer has a disk drive in it (hard disk drive/solid state drive) that stores your information, including your personal data. Even if you delete your personal files, there are still methods cyber criminals can use to extract data that you thought was permanently erased. Therefore your data on your old computer sitting by the curb or in a dumpster can be intercepted by anyone willing to rummage through your trash from the time you throw it out to the time it gets to the landfill. That is why I also offer my clients… Safe and Secure System Disposals: Let me explain the process. First, we remove the disk drive mounted inside your computer that actually stores all of your personal data and private information. It is usually in the form of a hard disk drive or solid-state drive. Second, we disassemble and dispose of the remaining components through proper industry channels we have in place. At this point all that is left is your old disk drive. Finally, we place that drive into an industrial shredder that converts the drive into a pile of rubble. There is no way any data will get into the hands of anyone, let alone cyber criminals, through an old computer we discarded. We can provide you with this quick and easy way to dispose of your old environmentally toxic computer. Plus, you also
have peace of mind knowing that the data that was on your old computer is safe and inaccessible because your computer has been dismantled and its disk drive is no longer in one piece. Cyber criminals will exploit the easy, unprotected systems. Protecting your data is your responsibility, but you don’t have to do it all by yourself. My staff and I are here to help you navigate through these cumbersome
and often confusing tasks. If you are not sure your system is safe, please have it looked over by a Professionally Certified Computer Technician. If you need a certified professional, call us now at 727-534-4000. We’ve been helping folks restore their peace of mind, and sanity, with their technology for decades. We Keep You Safer In Your Digital World!

Reclaiming Your Outdoors with Turf Pro Synthetics By Tom Bostock It’s the nineteenth hole, and, no surprise, you are the one buying the rounds of drinks… again. You wonder what your partners know that you don’t. How did they suddenly get so good? Is it a new putter you know nothing about, or did they spend weeks on the greens, sharpening their skills, taking lessons from the country club pro? What if the solution is as simple as a meeting with Turf Pro Synthetics, your local experts in professional turf installation? Countless of your friends and neighbors, already satisfied customers, are singing their praises and not just for the

turf work either. Here are what just a few of them wrote in their unsolicited testimonials, giving Chip
Hunziker and his team consistent five-star ratings: “The team at Turf Pro Synthetics did a fantastic
job with our artificial turf project in our backyard. We knew this would be a difficult job going in. The job
For Advertising Info 727-943-0551 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com
required a combination of first laying down pavers followed by precisely cutting turf bands and laying them down meticulously between these pavers thereby creating a diagonal steppingstone type of paver-turf combination pattern. “Turf Pro were truly “Pros” at accomplishing this difficult task. Our family absolutely loves the job they have done, and not only do we spend a lot of time there, but it also has turned out to be an amazing accent piece in and of itself. Thank you Chip and the Turf Pro Team. You guys are truly the best!” Lohith B. “Chip was able to facili-
tate installation of a putting green in my backyard that I’m extremely pleased with. The price was extremely fair, and the job completed in an expeditious manner. Would definitely recommend.”Nic C. “From having Chip, the owner come out to give us a quote, to having the finished product, the process was seamless. Everything was straight forward and fair. Our wasted space is now a fun and functional space for our family and our puppy! Would definitely recommend Turf Pro Synthetics.” Tiana D. “Turf Pro was amazing. They were very prompt,
professional, and it was done with quality craftsmanship. I highly recommend Turf Pro to anyone looking to add artificial turf”. Tim P. The pandemic of COVID-19 may have curtailed many of our social activities in 2020, but it can’t eliminate our Florida love of the outdoors. With social distancing and other coronavirus restrictions, your yard is the ideal, safest place to be. Why not take 2021 to reclaim your own outdoors? Turf Pro Synthetics can help. Avoid the hassle of drives to the putting green and constantly increasing country club fees. Take strokes off your game with your own putting green in your back, side yard or on your condominium patio. It’s as easy as a phone call to Turf Pro Synthetics. Pet areas and playgrounds are growing in popularity, too, as families transform their outdoor areas to enjoy and love their space. Are you wondering why you should consider installing artificial turf for your yard? Consider just a few of the many advantages. It’s a time saver. If you are anything like me, mowing the lawn is one of my least favorite chores. Other than rinsing it off occasionally, or raking it slightly, artificial turf is virtually maintenancefree. Plus, no watering or harmful chemicals. Recent advances make its appearance almost indistinguishable from real grass, and there are no weeds to pull or fertilizers needed, ever. All you need to do is enjoy it. Because Turf Pro Synthetics installs turf from a variety of com-

panies, they can always help you select the right product for your project, with warranties from eight to twenty years, depending on the manufacturer. With its ability to drain completely, leaving no puddles, regardless of how much water splashes from your pool, artificial turf makes the ideal replacement product. Turf Pro Synthetics can work with your landscape professional’s plans, on your commercial project, or directly with you. It’s your choice. Chip and his team will design the yard of your dreams. After the initial consultation, they offer full service, from complete removal of existing grass and excess plants to your completed project, secured and ready for you and your family to enjoy for many years to come. There may be other competitors, but there is only one Turf Pro Synthetics, your consummate artificial turf professional. Call today (813) 546-4627 and begin enjoying your green and inviting maintenancefree yard, putting green or pet area tomorrow. Visit their website today, turfprosynthetics.com, for more information or to request a free appointment. As their site promises, “Turf Pro Synthetics does not buy, sell, trade or install used turf. We provide only the highest quality of new professional grade artificial turf,” with the customer service to match. Turf Pro Synthetics, serving Tampa Bay and the surrounding communities.
