February is National Heart Month The month of February has long been synonymous with tender heart shapes and the sensual color of red— thanks to the annual celebration of Valentine’s Day. But February isn’t just for lovers. It also reminds us to take care of our heart and consider our risk factors, because February is Heart Disease Awareness Month. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease. My father was one of its victims, he was only 62 years old. Your risk of heart disease increases as you get older but believe it or not, heart disease can happen at any age. The good news? Some risk factors for heart disease and stroke are preventable when people make healthy lifestyle choices. Some risk factors for cardiovascular disease include; obesity, physical inactivity, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, high cholesterol or diabetes. So, if you want to stay on top of your health and try to avoid the risk of heart disease, there
are a few things you can do. Starting with not smoking, but if you’re already a smoker try your best to quit. If you are being treated for high blood pressure and cholesterol do your best to take your medications as prescribed by your doctor. Next, make heart-healthy decisions. Eat whole foods that are low in trans-fat, saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar. Limit sugar-sweetened beverages and red meat. Condiment your proteins with spices instead of salt. When you’re preparing a meal, make sure to fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables instead of carbohydrates. Finally, get moving! Living a sedentary lifestyle will put you at a much greater risk for heart disease. Try to get in at least 20 minutes of physical activity 4-5 days a week, then build from there. Manage your stress levels. Stress is linked to heart disease in many ways. It can raise your blood pressure. Extreme stress can be a “trigger” for a heart attack. Make sure you get enough sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, you may raise your risk of high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. Those three things can raise your risks for heart disease. How can you help
spread awareness? Here are just a few ideas: Encourage family members and friends to eat a healthy diet and get regular exercise Motivate teachers and administrators to make physical activity a part of the school day. Encourage your children to play outside more often. This can help students start good habits early. Limit your alcohol consumption Maintain a healthy weight Ask your doctor to provide information about ways to prevent heart disease and share knowledge with your loved ones. If you’re a business owner, send out a newsletter about living a heart-healthy lifestyle. Use social media to spread awareness. Host a community event where families can be active while learning about local health resources. Visit www.heart.org/ en/affiliates/florida/ tampa-bay for more information of how you can join a culture of health in Tampa Bay. They host the Tampa Bay Heart Walk, a Tampa Bay Go Red for Women Luncheon, the Tampa Bay Heart Ball and more amazing events!

If You’ve Got Junk – We’ve Got the Solution:1-800-GOT-JUNK? By Tom Bostock It’s amazing how easy it is to collect unwanted junk without even realizing it. If it’s not the garage sale leftovers that didn’t sell, it’s the clothes that the kids have outgrown that got boxed up and stored in the garage for a later time than never came. Maybe, it’s the newspapers for the drive that were never collected. Here’s a thought: It’s just human nature to collect things, but wouldn’t it be nice if you could use your garage for your car again or the spare bedroom for something besides a storage room?

“Roofing”-
continued from page 1
Acoma Roofing Inc. is a family-owned business now operated by sons San and Steve in Oldsmar that prides itself on its exceptional customer service and a blemish-free reputation. Acoma Roofing Inc. is a commercial, industrial, and residential roofing installer, specializing in roof installation, repair and maintenance. They are certified installer and provider of new and reroofs of all types of roofing. A GAF Master Elite® Contractor since 2008, requiring proper licensing and adequate insurance, a proven reputation and commitment to ongoing professional training, Acoma Roofing Inc. is guided by the mission of providing only superior customer service. Experienced estimators will come out to a homeowner’s residence and provide a cost-free, no-obligation evaluation of the roof. With sixty thousand re-roofed homes since its inception, Acoma Roofing Inc. is proud of its longevity in the industry and recognition for going above and beyond for its customers. 10 FEBRUARY 2019
Should a problem arise, the issue is taken care of with transparency. In 63 years, the company has never had a complaint filed with the licensing board or the Better Business Bureau. Whether you seek to know the condition of your roof or have immediate plans to replace it, Acoma Roofing Inc. will give you a roof assessment – an analysis of shingle, tile, metal, and flat roofing roofs. With their excellent quality artistry and proper maintenance, the average lifecycle of a shingle roof is up to 25 years; a tile roof 20-35 years; a metal roof up to 50 years, and a flat roof 10-15 years. Acoma Roofing Inc. can help you reduce your energy costs and keep water and moisture that can cause serious wood rot and mold. If your Homeowners Association requires roof cleaning, Acoma Roofing Inc. technicians can remove fungus from shingles and tile with safe, effective low-pressure cleaning. San explained that there are unprincipled businesses that will take advantage of the client’s lack of understanding of the process. Price should not be the deciding factor when hiring a roofing
contractor. Always research your roofing company by reading reviews and checking with the Better Business Bureau and Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board. San stressed that there are several important questions to ask before hiring a roofing contractor before you make a decision: Do they hire subcontractors? Do they carry workman’s comp with all workers names listed? Do they carry liability insurance? Can you get a list of employees that will be working on your roofing job? He also said to ask if the company trucks will have the business name on them to help identify subcontractors. Subcontracting is illegal unless the subcontractor has a roofing license and puts the homeowner at risk. It is important to review the contract before you sign it, make sure any required permits are in place, know the Florida Construction Lien Law, and don’t pay in cash. “We don’t use subcontractors,” explained San. “Our people are employees, with healthcare and 401(k) plans. They’re covered by workers’ compensation and liability.
For Advertising Info 813-928-6124 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com
They’re trained and certified installers for GAF and other manufacturers. Our trucks are emblazoned with our name, license, and phone number, and our people wear Acoma Roofing uniform shirts. Customers who hire us know they’re not getting subcontractors, and that’s important. Roofing companies who use subcontracted labor are breaking the law and setting up homeowners for liabilities from non-payment to hospital expenses if a worker is hurt on their property.”
San recommends not waiting until the rainy season to consider a roof replacement. Storms can delay installation. The best time is November through March, the drier season. Acoma Roofing Inc. is proud of their involvement in the community. Though 8 on Your Side typically covers unscrupulous business practices, in 2017, they covered the feel-good story of Acoma Roofing Inc. and its supplier. Acoma Roofing Inc. and their supplier came to the aid of a family that had no roof due to their trust in a dishonest roofer and the companies replaced their roof without cost. That isn’t the first time Acoma Inc. has given away a free roof. They participated in No Roof Left Behind to provide a roof to a lucky winner. “There are lots of fly-by-nights in this industry. When we see someone being taken advantage of, we have to make it right again.” Honest business practices, integrity, transparency, and excellent reputation in the industry, coupled with excellent customer service has helped Acoma Roofing Inc. continue to be a name positively recognized throughout Tampa Bay for over 60 years.

Ed Rizzotto enjoyed the opportunity to benefit the community, and was determined to create a complete local business where he could help clients (both pre-retirees and current retirees) save money on their
12 FEBRUARY 2019
taxes, better manage their portfolios, plan for the future and focus more on enjoying their retirement years – and The Rizzotto Tax Advisory Group was established in 2006. Lorrie Rizzotto, Vice President of Operations, joined the firm in 2009. Prior to joining Ed in running their family business, Lorrie specialized in corporate incentive and meeting planning, and worked at Allstate’s Regional Florida office for 11 years before becoming an Independent Meeting Planner with HelmsBriscoe, where she achieved “President’s Club” status being Top 50 in the country. Married 30 years this November, Lorrie and Ed have two daughters attending the University of South Florida. Ed and Lorrie have a great team at Rizzotto Tax Advisory Group. Dori Greeson, Administrative Assistant and Office Manager, gives everyone a warm reception, oversees the day to day office operations and the coordination of tax season. Alton Scott, Insurance Consultant, with more than 18 years of experience in the Banking, Insurance and Financial Services industry, has extensive knowledge in the areas of health insurance, Medicare supplements and Medicare. Scott holds a state-regulated Life and Health License and a Securities license to provide certain investment products, Nic Ranocchia, Licensed Life/ Health/Annuity Agent, is a
graduate of the University of South Florida, with a degree in Finance. He has over 5 years of customer service experience, as well as experience in the banking business. Ed and Nic will work as a team to offer insurance products to fit clients’ needs. He came on board two years ago to assist Ed and gain knowledge and experience to begin a career as an Insurance Professional & Financial Planner. Lauren Schafer, Marketing Coordinator, recently joined the team in September and will be overseeing their marketing functions. She is a graduate from the University of Florida with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Entrepreneurship and has over 3 years of experience in customer service. Their team of IRS enrolled agents and qualified tax preparers each have an average of over 20 years of experience in tax preparation and tax law and are ready to assist you with all of your tax preparation needs. Reducing Tax Liability in Retirement The first thing Ed and his team will want to look at is your past tax returns, explaining, “We’ve had people who had other advisors and financial planners who convinced them to make changes, not aware of the tax impacts. To me, the tax return is the most important document the client owns, that’s why it is the first thing we look at when the client meets us for their initial appointment.
If there is an investment or change that could cause a taxable event, we know that up front.” Ed and his team are very tuned in to their clients’ needs and concerns. “Saving on taxes, reducing or eliminating taxation on social security and protecting the financial wellbeing of a spouse after another’s death – those are things that my clients are concerned about,” explains Ed. “Today, people also want alternatives to the low interest rate environment provided by CDs and money market accounts.” He adds, “If clients are already collecting social security when they come to us, they want to know how they can reduce or eliminate taxes(iii) on not only social security income, but their overall taxes as well. A major concern today and what I believe will be a concern for years to come for pre-retirees and current retirees is how to obtain ‘Guaranteed Income for Life’(iv) from your retirement and non-retirement plans. Unfortunately many employer sponsored plans and individual IRAs do not offer this benefit when you retire. We will show you how to put some things in place now that will enable you to set up lifetime income down the road. This is income you will never outlive, similar to a pension. We spend many hours with our clients to put sound plans in place by sharing ‘real time’ tax, income and social security analysis(v)

We want our clients to leave our office with a better understanding on what their income needs will be in retirement, and how to control, reduce or possibly eliminate taxes(iii).” Rizzotto Tax Advisory Group takes a team-oriented approach to tax, retirement and estate planning and Mr. Rizzotto welcomes discussions from clients’ estate planning attorneys. If you do not already have an attorney, Mr. Rizzotto often refers clients to a trusted elder law attorney, who frequently meets with clients to review Wills and Trusts. “They can help you make sure your plan is up to date and our staff will make sure your accounts and beneficiary designations coordinate with your estate plan.” While taxes are a large part of The Rizzotto Tax Advisory
Group, the majority of their clients also utilize the firm’s other services including investments, retirement planning, long term care, annuities(iv), life insurance, wills and trusts and small business bookkeeping services. Ed says, “Clients like the opportunity we provide to get everything taken care of in one place.” A word of advice, “You’re never too young to start saving for retirement,” says Rizzotto. “We have found that many people we meet who are still working have changed jobs about every five to seven years, and many of those people left their retirement plans at their old employers (i.e. 401k, 403b, 457 and TSP plans, etc). Many of these plans can be rolled over to individual IRAs or Roth IRAs, thus giving the client more control and the ability to have someone to advise them.” The Rizzotto Tax Advisory
Group is located in the community of Long Leaf in the Florida Design Consultants Center at 3030 Starkey Boulevard in Trinity.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: “Wait ‘til Next Year” … again. By Tom Bostock The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have only been a part of the NFL since 1976: American Football Conference (AFC West in 1976), National Football Conference (NFC Central 1977 – 2001) and NFC South 2002 – Present. They’ve bounced around almost as much as their footballs. There have already been ten head coaches. That’s an average of 4.3 seasons per coach. How do you develop consistency when you are always changing coaches and subjecting both offense and defense to constantly changing game plans and schemes? By comparison, the longestablished Pittsburgh Steelers have only had a total of 16 head coaches since 1933. From “worst to first” was accomplished by the talented Bucs with the winning of Super Bowl XXXVII in 2002 by a Jon
16 FEBRUARY 2019
Gruden-coached Buccaneer team that had consistently been in the playoffs for the previous 9 years under experienced coaches like Tony Dungy, who, while coaching the Bucs, was tagged with the reputation of not getting them to the “big one.” It wasn’t the coach since Dungy went on to become the first black head coach to win the Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts in 2008. Since the Super Bowl win, there have been “0,” and I repeat “0” playoff games for the downtrodden Bucs! What’s wrong with that picture? If the New England Patriots can consistently “reload” instead of “rebuild,” why can’t the Bucs? What is it, management, player selection, coaching, offensive, and defensive play calling or just the players themselves? What is keeping the Bucs from developing a winning culture? With another losing
season already guaranteed, the finger pointing will soon begin. Sports pundits are heralding the impending departure of both the coach, general manager and possibly even the starting quarterback. It’s hard to understand how a 9 and 7 record in 2016 deteriorated into 2 consecutive losing seasons, including this year. Some people point the finger at the Bucs 59-year old head coach, Dirk Koetter, whose only head coaching experience was at the college level with both Boise State and Arizona State. It was, however, a winning record and led to several offensive coordinator positions in the NFL, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he was promoted to head coach in 2016. According to Rick Stroud on tbo.com “He’s already gotten more time than Greg Schiano or Lovie Smith.” Is
the handwriting on the wall? Many fans that I talk to think that will be the case. Koeter was handed his walking papers after the Bucs final 32-34 loss, the last game of the season. His replacement, Bruce Arians, a longtime head coach, will have his work cut out for him. Others point to quarterback, Jameis Winston, whose athletic ability seems offset by his unfortunate penchant for inceptions, fumbles and negative publicity in equal measure. Blessed with a strong arm and indomitable faith in his God-given talents, fans seem to have a love/ hate relationship with this iconic leader of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the final year of his rookie contract, the question that fans are asking now is, with this dismal season over, will the team pick up his fifth-year option? According to a Tampa
For Advertising Info 813-928-6124 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com
Bay Times online article, Jameis’s contract “is worth nearly 21 million dollars and guaranteed only against injury.” Is he worth it? Apparently, he is, since General Manager Licht confirmed this week that Winston would be quarterbacking the Bucs in 2019. It seems incongruous that the Bucs continue to lose with wide receiver Evans having another 1000-yard season (the Pro Bowl snub
not withstanding), and ever reliable slot receiver Humphries continuing to catch everything thrown at him. I’m only an avid, long-suffering Buc’s fan and armchair quarterback, so I’m going to leave the guessing and pontification for the “big boys.” Come this time next year; I hope to be rooting for the Bucs as they go deep into the playoffs and not thinking the same perennial mantra: “Wait til next year!”
