Woman’s Club Honors Sponsors and Volunteers
The GFWC Sun City Center Women’s Club is known for community-wide fun and fellowship as well as its generous volunteer and charity work. The Club founded the Meals on Wheels program in Sun City Center in 1973 and has coordinated services since that time. In 2003, the Club began a partnership with Samaritan Services who now enroll clients and bill for Meals on Wheels services. Samaritan Services works with South Bay Hospital where the meals are prepared for delivery. The Woman’s Club has two Meals on Wheels Cochairs, one for Kings Point and one for Sun City Center. They manage an extensive network of coordinators from twelve SCC service clubs and churches to provide volunteer drivers who delivered 4,908 meals to Sun City Center and Kings Point residents in 2011. This past month the ladies took some time out to honor the
ABOUT GFWC: Founded in 1890, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, an international women’s organization, has been a unifying force, bringing together local women’s clubs from around the country and throughout the world that are dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service. Visit them online at www.GFWC.org. For more information about the SCC chapter call 813-942-9555.
sponsors and volunteers that make all of this possible. Their annual Appreciation Luncheon shined the spotlight on the specific sponsors and volunteers responsible for giving life to the Club’s Meals on Wheels program. An added attraction at the luncheon was a display of the artwork of Renate Bartz. Her needlework was described by one member as “castle-quality.” She has won numerous awards, including a first place, statewide award. Members enjoyed the display before and after lunch. The Club has many fundraising and service projects throughout the year including a yearbook directory and newsletter. Sponsors and volunteers turn these efforts into the funds necessary to keep hot meals coming to those in need of nourishment and a friendly face at the door. These sponsors come from all over the greater Sun City area as well as Ruskin and Wimauma. At the Continued on Page 2
Resident Bequeaths Sizeable Amount to SCC Community Foundation
Mary Petro, a former resident of Sun City Center, passed away in 2009. As part of her final wishes, she bequeathed a substantial sum of money to the Sun City Center Community Foundation. The purpose of these funds was to form an assistance program for residents of Sun City Center and Kings Point in dire need of temporary assistance with food or pharmaceutical necessities. Mary Petro’s specific instructions for this fund were: “To provide temporary relief to residents who are in dire need of assistance with food and/or medicine.” These final wishes have become the Mission Statement for the Mary Petro Program. In cases where funding is given, it will be provided for a 30-day period. The maximum amount given during this period will be $500 for medication and $400 for food. In cases of dire need or extreme extenuating circumstances – as decided by program managers – funding may be extended to a maximum of 90 days in any 12-month period and maximum

amounts expanded to $1,500 for medicine and $1,200 for food. While this program is incredibly generous, it does have a few specific requirements. 1. Potential recipients must be legal residents of Sun City Center or Kings Point. 2. Potential recipients must provide documentation that their taxable income falls within the guidelines of $16,335 for an individual or $22,065 for a couple. “Taxable Income” may be found on Line 43 of Form 1040, Line 27 of Form 1040A and Line 6 of Form1040EZ. 3. Potential recipients must have a “dire need” for food assistance and/or prescription drugs. Additional verification required may include the most recent IRS Tax Return, as well as a prescription from a doctor and verification of cost from a pharmacist if medication is needed. If a person qualifies
for assistance with food costs, he or she will be given a gift card to a local grocery store. If prescription drug assistance is needed, the cost will be paid directly to the pharmacy. The Mary Petro Program is designed to provide a perpetual source of benefits to qualified residents of Sun City Center and Kings Point. Each year the earnings of the principal amount of the program will be available for payout, but the principal of the program will stay intact. The appropriate procedure for gaining access to this service includes one of the following: • Have a referral from a. house of worship. • Have a referral from the SCC Community Association or the KP Federation. • Have a referral from a local service agency. • In specific crisis situations, clients may self-refer or be referred by a neighbor or friend.

The Editor’s Corner Isn’t It Time You Went Clubbing?
By Adam Porter, EIC, News of Kings Point Happy May, friends and neighbors! Hope this column finds you loving the warm, sunny weather here in central Florida, through the the April showers and enjoying the May flowers…since many of the pilgrims have traveled back north. Perhaps those travelers were your friends or your neighbors. Maybe you don’t expect to see those friendly faces for a few months…and just maybe you might be looking for something to do in that time. Maybe it’s time you went clubbing. Now, I don’t mean heading down to Ybor City to dodge bullets at the hip-hop “dance” clubs. I’m talking about two particular types of clubbing you can do right here in Kings Point. Bet you can guess the first. Yes, golf…right in the hole on your first swing! If you love the game and you are looking to fill out a foursome now that your regular crew is missing a few, flip forward a few pages in this very issue and you will find pages of opportunities for you to meet some new friends with whom to hit the links. And, if you are a beginner, don’t worry. There are several ways you can get introduced to the game on your own terms, at your own level. Just contact the golf groups and courses you will find in these pages and you will be clubbing in no time. Just remember, if you have an afternoon tee time, drink plenty…of water…those balmy summer afternoons can be scorchers.
May, 2012
But what about the second type of clubbing I’m talking about? Well, I bet you’ve already heard about several of the recreational and educational clubs and groups here in Kings Point and Sun City Center. You may even belong to one or three. But, as you may have seen, many of these clubs and groups close up shop in the summertime. So, what are you to do? Well, last month, in this column, I sent out an SOS for information about clubs that planned to continue meeting throughout the summer. And, boy, did we get a response! We heard from quilters and crafters and Lions, as well as shuffleboard players, jazz music lovers and many, many others. Will your favorite club or group be found in these pages? The only way to BE CERTAIN your group could be featured this summer in News of Kings Point is to send us your information…and send it quickly. Either submit through the SUBMISSION link at www.NewsOfKingsPoint. com or follow the submissions guidelines you see there on page 2 of this publication. Bottom line, if you are in a group and it’s meeting this summer, we want to help you get the word out. Tell us all about your comings and goings and doings. Then News of Kings Point will help you tell everyone in Kings Point. Remember, we are here to be YOUR community news source. Make it so by sending in your club or group information today!

2012, May The News of Kings Point
Memorial Day Ceremony
To be held at the Kings Point Borini Auditorium beginning at 10:00 A.M. Monday, May 28th, 2012. Sun City Center will again observe our traditional Memorial Day Ceremony starting at 10:00 a.m. Monday, May 28th in the Borini Theater at the Kings Point Clubhouse, Sun City Center. Doors will open at 9:00 a.m. for open general attendance seating. All invited guests with reserved seating are requested to be seated not later than 9:45 a.m. This ceremony is sponsored by the combined military veterans’ organizations of Sun City Center and is supported by the joint efforts of many participating community service organizations. The focus of this Memorial Day ceremony is to honor all community veterans with special tribute paid to those veterans who have died in the past year with a Last Roll Call which will be conducted concurrently with our traditional Sun City Center Living Flag Tribute. Our featured speaker will be Florida State Senator Ronda R. Storms who has represented the 10th District since 2006. Prior to that she had an eight-year tenure on the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners. Senator Storms was born in Des Moines, Iowa into a military family and moved around often,
growing up in Germany, Turkey and Alabama. She graduated from Brandon High School in 1983, and earned a bachelor of arts degree in English education from the University of South Florida in 1988, as a S.C.A.T.T. honors graduate. For a time she taught English at Bloomingdale High School in Valrico and later went on to pursue her Juris Doctor at the Stetson College of Law in Gulfport, receiving her law degree in 1995 Cum Laude. A musical interlude and tribute to the military services will be provided by the Trinity Baptist Church Choir & Friends directed by Rev. James Feist. Colors will be

presented by the East Bay High School Jr. R.O.T.C. and members of the Ruskin Boy Scout Troop 661 will be placing the wreath at the flagpole outside the auditorium. As part of our annual tribute to our deceased veterans, and showing the great spirit of Sun City Center patriotism, the Patriots Club makes arrangements for and funds for the display of U.S. flags on State Route 674. This year the flags will fly for a period of time prior to Memorial Day to after the Fourth of July. Our list of deceased veterans to be recognized is compiled from the daily obituaries posted
in Tampa Bay area dailies and input from local Veterans’ organizations. Not all departed veterans are posted for one reason or another and, after our traditional Memorial Day ceremony is over, we do receive queries as to why a departed veteran’s name was missing from the Last Roll-Call and not recognized. If anyone knows of a Sun City Center veteran who has died in the past year, and who was not listed in a local obituary, please contact Paul Wheat by telephone at 634-7777 or by e-mail at PAWheatJr@aol.com.

Watch Your Neighborhood and See Crime Drop With Deputies Chris Girard and Will Menendez For my column this month I’m going to offer the space to my fellow deputy, Will Menendez, who has a special message about community crime prevention in Hillsborough County…and how you can get involved. Crime across Hillsborough County was down, again, in 2011. After dropping 16% in 2010, crime rates dropped again, this time 15% in 2011. The Hillsborough Country Sheriffs Office credits the hard work of its deputies as well as the vigilance and responsibility of their community partners with this continued success. One of the ways members of the community can help is by organizing HCSO-sponsored neighborhood watch groups. The purpose of the HCSO’s Neighborhood Watch program is to assist in the protection against an enemy we all have in common – crime! Because, as hard as we work, police officers cannot be everywhere at once, Neighborhood Watch programs multiply our eyes and ears “on the ground” in communities. This program is nothing more and nothing less than neighbors watching over each other and their property, organized into
groups to REPORT suspicious activities or crimes to the sheriff’s office. Citizen participation is one of the most effective tools against crime because the job of stopping burglary, robbery or sexual assault is impossible for the Sheriff to accomplish alone. Crime watchers are networks of neighbors trained by Crime Prevention deputies in home and self-protection, suspect identification and how to serve effectively as additional eyes and ears for law enforcement agencies in their communities. Neighborhood Watch groups provide a way for neighbors to help one another by keeping an eye on each other’s homes and property. A telephone chain is set up to enable neighbors to keep one another informed of any criminal activity and to receive information from the Sheriff concerning descriptions of suspected criminals and other pertinent information.

When a member of a network sees a suspicious person or vehicle, he or she should call the Sheriff’s Office immediately. Again, Sheriff’s deputies cannot be everywhere all of the time. Besides, even if they happen to be passing by, they cannot recognize that a car, a truck, or people do not belong in
an area. However, those who live in a community will know if there are strangers in the area. Neighborhood Watch Programs are of great help to our Sheriff’s Office. There have been many instances where good neighbors, by reporting unusual activities, have been instrumental in the apprehension of criminals.
To learn more about Neighborhood Watch and how to get started with one in your community, head to the HCSO website and follow these instructions. • Go to www.hcso.tampa.fl.us • Look for the A-Z link at the top right of the page.

WE WANT TO BUY ANY TYPE OF GOLD YOU HAVE GOLD IS ALMOST AT $1,700 PER OZ.
IT’S TIME TO SELL! Hi, I’m Archie. I’ve been a Treasure Hunter since 1996. Back then, gold was around $225 per oz.—now it’s six times that. Gold has never been this high and may never be again in my lifetime. Back in the 1980’s, gold and silver soared in price, but soon fell back to rock bottom. Well, it’s a seller’s market right now. The poor world economy and weak dollar have increased prices to all-time highs. My advice to people is to sell now at the high side. Many people have gold in their jewelry box and don’t realize how valuable it really is. If you’ve got old rings, necklaces, mismatched earrings or even gold teeth just sitting in a dresser drawer, dig it out and bring it in. You will be surprised just how much we can pay you.
Old Coins and Paper Currency

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS WANTED We pay for any instrument, including guitars, saxophones, clarinets, flutes, drums, cymbals, french horns, tubas and bass guitars.
Did you know that the United States started minting coins in 1793? All coins are worth something: old silver dollars, half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 are mostly silver and worth many times their face value. A $20 gold coin from the early 1900’s could be worth $2,000 or more to collectors. If you have any older coins or paper currency, please come see us. We will buy one coin or million dollar collections.

In such difficult listening settings, hearing loops can help. A hearing loop is a wire connected to an electronic sound source that transmits that sound to the telecoil in a hearing aid.
In order to hear in a hearing loop, you need a hearing aid that is equipped with a manually controlled telecoil. The telecoil in the hearing aid receives
the signal directly from the loop, often eliminating much of the background noise so the wearer is able to hear much better. If you are interested in accessing a hearing loop, call us for an appointment to activate that feature in your hearing aids and instruct you on how to use it.

Dig the Past at Dinosaur World By Eddie Dixon May is here! That means summer is nearly upon us and it’s time to get ready for visits from children and, more importantly, GRANDchildren from far and wide. They love to come visit us here in the land of the sunshine, and we sure love to see them. But, even before they arrive one major questions precedes them…WHAT are we going to DO when they get here! Not to worry, there are a great many fun things to do with the grands that won’t drain your wallet or your gas tank. Here in the Dixon’s Day Trips column of News of Kings Point over the summer months we will be featuring some fun and kidfriendly places for you to take the little ones…places that may just bring the kid right out in you too!
Do not miss this photo opportunity.
First up is a one-of-a-kind park that transports visitors back millions of years to a time when the “terrible lizards” we call “dinosaurs” roamed the land. Dinosaur World, just off I-4 about a half hour drive from SCC near Thonotosassa, is a 12-acre theme park rendered to look like a subtropical jungle, a place where dinosaurs of various periods can look right at home. No, this isn’t Jurassic Park. Don’t expect to see any tall, highvoltage fences or hear any frog gene splicing mumbo-jumbo. This is plain old “good to be a kid” fun. The stars of the show are towering, life sized models, up to 80 feet of fiberglass, concrete and steel, crafted not in the sands of time but in modern-day Sweden. In fact, the entire park was the brainchild of Swedish entertainment entrepreneur, Chirster Svensson. After vacationing in Central Florida several times, Svensson moved his family here on a permanent basis and built Dinosaur World. Over 150 life size dinosaurs can be seen here. Species on display include the popular stegosaurus and brachiosaurus as well as the less well known but striking chasmosaurus and the king of all dinosaurs, the T-Rex. In addition, on February
29, 2012, Dinosaur World unveiled a 12-acre expansion that includes a 22,000-square-foot Prehistoric Museum, two dinosaur-themed playgrounds and five animatronic dinosaurs including Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Pterodactyl and of course T-Rex. But the dinos are only the beginning of the fun. One of the favorite activities for kids here is the fossil dig – free for kids with the price of admission. They can sift through sand at a mockup of a paleontological dig site and find authentic fossils. Successful diggers can keep their 3 favorite fossils as a memento of the trip. Finds include shark teeth, sea urchins, dinosaur bone fragments – up to 10 different types of fossils! One of the most ironic aspects of Dinosaur World is that this home to statuesque dino pals
was once the home of real live contemporary terrible lizards, Florida’s everlovin’ alligators. But, when the allure of the gators waned, Svensson found the land just right for his reptilian blast from the past. These bigger lizards can’t grab us…but they sure never fail to capture our imagination. Dinosaur World (www. dinosaurworld.com) is located
at 5145 Harvey Tew Rd, Plant City, FL 33565. Current admission rates are $14.95 for adults ($12.95 for seniors over 60) and $11.95 for kids ages 3 to 12. Hours of operation are 9AM to 6PM. PS – Dinosaur World is a PET FRIENDLY park. Friendly pets ON LEASHES are admitted free of charge!

However, when his wealthy grandfather Red (James Gardner an Academy award winner) dies, Jason receives a most unusual inheritance; twelve tasks, which is called the “gifts”, to challenge Jason to grow as a man. If he succeeds, the experience will not only change Jason forever, but he will discover the true meaning of wealth.

She also noted that people no longer trust NBC, CBS and ABC as a source for their news, but rather depend more on Smart Phones, mobile APS and local newspapers. She provided statistics demonstrating how little respect the general population now has for politicians, having developed a more ”cynical and pessimistic attitude” toward the direction the country is moving in. Dr. MacManus informed the group that there appeared to be a serious decline in the confidence people now have in government, the media, corporations and politicians. She said that although not much is being said publicly, both parties are concerned about violence at the two upcoming political conventions. Following her presentations she entertained questions.

Thursday, May 3rd will mark the 61st annual observance of the National Day of Prayer. This year’s theme is “One Nation Under GOD” and Mrs. James Dobson serves as the National Chairman with Dr. David Jeremiah serving as the Honorary Chairman. With significant challenges facing America, millions will come together for prayer at thousands of locations throughout the Country.

In 1952, Congress established an annual day of prayer and, in 1988, that law was amended, designating the National Day of Prayer as the first Thursday in May. The Trinity Baptist Deacon Body is coordinating a program of continuous prayer from 9:00 a.m. Thursday, May 3rd until 9:00 a.m. Friday, May 4th. The Sanctuary will be open to the public on Thursday, May 3rd from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. for those who would like to spend time in prayer.

Volunteers, Inmates And Staff Became A Successful Team
“Sun City Your Love Empowers Us! You’re Our Example! We Love You Too!”
Submitted by Nancy Williams Over one hundred inmates from Hillsborough Correctional Institution in Balm display a banner which read “Sun City Your Love Empowers Us! You’re Our Example! We Love You Too!” The banner created by the inmates has individual notes of thanks and appreciation to the over 400 volunteers who came not only from Sun City Center but the greater Tampa Bay area. Gathered on the hillside overlooking the softball diamond and tennis court, inmates and administrative staff recognized Monday, March 19 as the last day the volunteers would be serving on the compound. Staff pictured far left: Culinary Arts Teacher “Chef T” Rubye Tarrent & Warden Robin Smith also pictured far right: Major Mary English & Assistant Warden Angel Velez. Inmates from the “Crafts and Convictions” class and their volunteer monitors from the Tampa Bay area gather together to remember their year of working together to give back to the Tampa community through sewing and educational crafts. The class in their brief one year of service produced $200,000 worth of educational craft and hand crafted sewing items for Hillsborough schools, 100 custom-made tote bags for children’s at Joshua House, 50 patriotic quilts for Tampa VA Hospital, 31 quilts for Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Tampa and 50 custom made bears and cats for Good Samaritan Mission. Their celebration ended with homemade strawberry shortcake and punch. “Don’t Cry Because It’s Over. Smile Because It Happened” was a quote shared by Hillsborough Correctional Institution (HCI) inmate Carol, part of the “Crafts with Conviction” class. Carol knew it was a Dr. Seuss quote and thought it very appropriate to appreciate 8 years on a beautifully landscaped compound with positive volunteers and staff. This teamwork produced the highest number of volunteers and volunteer hours of any prison in the State. At the same time, this successful team provided the lowest re-entry rate of any prison in the State and perhaps Nation. The volunteers, staff & inmates thank Governor Jeb Bush, key legislatures in both Tallahassee and Hillsborough for their 2004 approval for this unique facility.
Over these last 8 years volunteers filled positions that Volunteers! staff held when budgets were cut. The substance abuse program, educational program, anger management class, State mandated transitions class, computer & keyboard class were all taught by volunteers. Grants from the Community Foundation of Sun City Center and Interfaith Council of Sun City Center provided educational and program materials. Both the secular and sacred communities donated sports equipment for the wellness programs, fabric for the sewing classes, computers and keyboards toward employability skills, books for the library, art supplies for classes taught by professional art volunteers and the list goes on and on. Sun City Center Vintage Babes Softball Club, Volleyball Club and Tennis Association came to the compound monthly to compete with and instruct the inmate athletes. Instead of fearing a prison being operated in their neighborhood, the Hillsborough County community embraced this facility that really did work. The Hillsborough County Commissioners voted unanimously in support of keeping HCI open, bringing additional inmates on the compound and seeking to work with the State to upgrade the maintenance and water/ waste water systems. However, in the end, the volunteers knew that the State had another plan and lobbying the Governor and the Department of Corrections would not keep HCI open. The newest facility for women, approved in 2009 costing Florida taxpayers $92 Million, was to be completed in Spring 2011, when HCI was 1st slated for closure. The volunteers, community, litigation personnel and advocate legislatures enabled another additional year for HCI to stay open. However, on Thursday, March 29 before dawn, the 200+ inmates were transported to their new location in Lowell, near Ocala in Marion County. The volunteers will be encouraged to “smile because it happened” and encourage these former HCI inmates to spread their faith and character message throughout the new Reception Center. As inmate Marie wrote on the Thank You banner to the volunteers, “Without you I would not be the person I am growing to be. Thank you for my life.”

Contract Bridge By Steve Becker FAMOUS HAND
NO WHEY!
This deal occurred in a tournament played in France in 1963 to select the French representative that year to the annual European team championship. And quite a deal it was! It started off innocently enough when Jacques Stetten, playing with Leon Tintner, opened thirdhand with one spade. East bid two hearts -- he had values to spare for his modest overcall, but no better call was available
-- and South bid three diamonds. At this point, the bidding became frenetic. North bid three hearts, a cuebid indicating a strong hand with a probable void in hearts, and East doubled. After two passes, North then bid four hearts! This was a further cuebid, confirming the heart void, and even more importantly, it urged South to bid a slam in either diamonds or spades, depending on his hand. South quickly accepted the invitation by bidding six diamonds. True, South had only 10 high-card points (six of which he knew were wasted opposite North’s void). But South also had a seven-card suit and a void in clubs that North could not possibly know about. Not only that, but when East doubled, Tintner had enough confidence in his partner’s bidding and his own values to redouble! East -- holding A-AA-K -- no doubt thought his opponents had gone berserk and would pay heavily for their indiscretion. But that wasn’t how things turned out. Tintner easily made six diamonds redoubled for a score of 1,330 points, losing only a diamond trick, and poor East was left wondering what in the world had hit him. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

You might have been brained by the record hailstones, some weighing more than 2 pounds each. • You might not be surprised to learn that among his Hollywood friends, screen legend and notorious drinker Humphrey Bogart was nicknamed Whiskey Straight. • The founders of the Arby’s chain were a pair of brothers, Forest and Leroy Raffel. They wanted to name the original restaurant Big Tex, but found that the name was already owned by someone else. They settled on Arby’s to represent the initials R.B.’s for Raffel Brothers. Thought for the Day: “I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?” -- Yogi Berra © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

2012, May The News of Kings Point
Salome’s Stars
WEEK OF MAY 7, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The often skeptical Aries might find that an answer to a question is hard to believe. But check it out before you chuck it out. You might well be surprised at what you could learn. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your resolute determination to stick by a position might make some people uncomfortable. But if you’re proved right (as I expect you to be), a lot of changes will tilt in your favor. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel conflicted between what you want to do and what you should do. Best advice: Honor your obligations first. Then go ahead and enjoy your wellearned rewards. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That financial matter still needs to be sorted out before you can consider any major monetary moves. Pressures ease midweek, with news about a potential career change. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A workplace problem threatens to derail your well-planned project. But your quick mind should lead you to a solution and get you back on track without too much delay. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) An opportunity opens up but could quickly close down if you allow pessimism to override enthusiasm. A trusted friend can offer the encouragement you need. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to October 22) You’ve come through a difficult period of helping others deal with their problems. Now you can concentrate on putting your energy to work on your own projects. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Forget about who’s to blame and, instead, make the first move toward patching up a misunderstanding before it creates a rift that you’ll never be able to cross. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Good news for the travel-loving Sagittarian who enjoys galloping off to new places: That trip you put off will soon be back on your schedule. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A mood change could make the gregarious Goat seek the company of just a few friends. But you charge back into the crowd for weekend fun and games. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A decision you made in good faith could come under fire. Best advice: Open your mind to other possibilities by listening to your challenger’s point of view. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You can avoid being swamped by all those tasks dangling from your line this week by tackling them one by one, according to priority. The weekend brings good news. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a fine business sense and a love of the arts. You enjoy living life to its fullest. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
