By John Bowker Our South Campus has a new look! What began about a year ago when it became clear our Community Hall was in need of some serious upgrading, became a true gem in our remarkable facilities collection at 9 a.m., on Tuesday, September 1. The grand entryway has plenty of room for vehicles to come in, let out their passengers at the front door under the cover of the all new Portecochere day or night and then pull into the adjacent repaved parking lot with all new intensified night lighting.
The lobby has all new brightly colored plush seating with playful designs to encourage a happy entrance into the newly decorated main room of the building. Just to the left is the newly expanded ladies room with more booths and all new automatic fixtures, washing positions and repositioned mirrors. To the right, the men’s room has been upgraded with all new fixtures and new washing and table surfaces. We have all been waiting to see the inside work and it has certainly been worth the wait. The most remarkable
new feature is the all hardwood floor. The parquet flooring that was replaced had become so worn due to regular cleaning, that a year ago the maintenance staff reported they were down to waxing the concrete under floor – and that’s what got this all started! As you enter the main room your attention may be drawn to the new curtains along a sidewall. Parting those deep black curtains shows the new home for all 900+ chairs when not in use;
See Hall on page 8.
Dancers Appreciate the New Community Hall Floor
By Phyllis Hodges Probably no other group in Sun City Center values the new wood floor at Community Hall more than dancers. The new engineered hardwood floor replaced the parquet floor that was installed in 1986 when the building was first constructed. It is expected to provide many years of wear and enjoyment.
Photo by John Bowker The Sun City Line Dancers were the first to initiate the floor Tuesday evening, September 1. They were delighted to get back into the Community Hall after holding their sessions at the Central Campus Dance Studio #2 this summer. The group’s reaction was summed up by President Kathie Koren. “It’s great to be back. We love the floor and the new sound system,” she said. The club has 103 members and dances twice a week (Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon).
Statement of Purpose
The Sun City Center Community Association serves the residents of Sun City Center by providing assistance for the elderly, assistance and essential services to tax exempt entities, and operates in lieu of a municipal government, thereby lessening the burdens of government (Hillsborough County, Florida).
Photo by Bill Hodges Members of The Academy of Ballroom Dance members and guests enthusiastically made their way to the South Campus a few days later for their monthly dance. They held their summer dances in Dance Studio #1 in the Atrium which made them appreciate the Hall venue even more. At the dance, members were reminded how fortunate our dancers are to have free access to such a great facility. President Charlie Brown applauded the CA for considering the needs of the dancers in selecting the wood floor as opposed to other options such as tile or carpet.
Did You Know?
On September 10, 11 and 12, the SCC Security Patrol inspected and registered or re-registered over 800 golf carts. That’s a record and compares dramatically with last year’s 147. Registration, with serial numbers verified and recorded, helps to speed the process of returning carts that have been stolen to the proper owners.

POLICY CHANGES FOR THE OCTOBER 14 BOD MEETING By Joe Elam, Corporate Secretary
SPECIAL NOTICE:
All Club & Organization Presidents By David Floyd, SCC-CA President
RE: ALCOHOL AT EVENTS HELD AT THE CA FACILITIES
The Florida laws on alcohol consumption at events were changed and new regulations are now in effect. This will affect how alcohol is present at club and organization events held on Community Association property. Because of new licensing regulations, the Community Association will now have strict limits on such events. Your directors will be changing our CA policies to meet the new requirements. For the great majority of our events there will be no changes. BYOB events may still be held. Alcohol sales, including “alcohol included in the ticket price”, will no longer be an option for any event. Clubs may still raffle “Baskets of Cheer”. Clubs and organizations with ticket-purchased alcohol events will be individually contacted by the CA to explain the new policies. If there are any questions – please contact the CA office. The Community Association will write a letter to our State Senator and State Representative to see if exceptions to the law can be added to the Statute to support the association.

MOVIES at the Rollins Theater
By CA President David Floyd
CA DIRECTOR’S ELECTION Applications for running for the CA Board of Directors are available in the CA office. If you are planning on running for office the completed application must be returned to the CA office by 3 p.m. on October 7. AUDIT COMMITTEE CHAIR At the September 9 Board Meeting Mr. Jaime Willams was appointed our new Chair for the Audit Committee. Mr. Willams has a strong accounting and auditing background and we appreciate his stepping forward to help the Community Association. ROLLINS THEATER We have updated the Rollins Theater. We have improved the access to the restrooms and placed signage to guide our theater users. Our members with wheelchairs and walkers will now have better access to the restrooms when attending events at the Rollins Theater. We are presently looking for additional entertainment to better utilize the Rollins Theater. Some shows have already been booked. Clubs, organizations, and members may also book the Rollins Theater for meetings and events. Food and drinks may be brought into the theater, but we are not set up to handle catered events in the Rollins Theater. PHOTO CONTEST The fourth contest was started on September 1 and will end on October 7 at 6 p.m. The fourth theme is: “Fun in the City: sports and outdoor activities (lawn bowling, tennis, softball, pickle ball, dog park, etc.)” You may take pictures and submit them in more than one category – just wait until the 1st of the month of the theme. All pictures may be shared with friends and family. Remember to submit photo in JPEG format and email as an attachment to photos4scc@gmail.com. SURVEYING OF CA FACILITIES The CA facilities used by Clubs and Organizations are owned and operated by the Sun City Center Community Association. The C ommunity Association is presently measuring all spaces and rooms in the CA buildings. Why are we doing this? To help our planning committee to plan for the future and to assess the space needed for individual clubs. This will be an ongoing project and is needed to properly assign space. In order to do this project properly, we need accurate information about clubs and organizations and their room usage. We have begun to collect

One showing only @ 1 p.m.
The Monday Movies will normally show two movies each month in the Rollins Theater at 1p.m. on the second and fourth Monday. Dates and times may change as required. Seating is limited to 200 per showing and is reserved for current Sun City Center Community Association members and their guests who present an up-to-date member/guest card or yellow ID badge.

information on club membership, room usage, schedules, and specific club needs such as special equipment or other accommodations. We will in the future be introducing a “sign in” process for clubs using CA space. This will enable us to get a more accurate picture of how our facilities are being utilized. Clubs are not static entities. New clubs may be added, existing clubs may disband, club memberships may increase or decrease over time, and specific club requirements can change. As such, there may be instances where it becomes necessary for the CA to reevaluate assignment and usage of the CA facilities. The information we are gathering will enable us to do that in a fair and objective fashion. CLUB MEMBERSHIP It has been reported to the CA that a few clubs are not reporting all members, but keep a separate list of members from outside the CA. Any club caught doing this will have their club status and room use revoked. MEMBERS IDENTIFICATION CARDS We are installing signage on all doors to buildings and clubrooms that your membership identification is required to enter the facility. Just a reminder to all - your CA I.D. is required for all club meetings and CA sponsored events except for entertainment shows and National Organization Meetings. Kings Point and Freedom Plaza members of clubs must display their Kings Point ID or Freedom Plaza Access ID. Persons without identification may be asked to leave. SHERIFF’S OFFICE The CA has signed a trespass agreement with the Hillsborough County Sheriff ’s Office. The Deputies will now have the authority to trespass those without the proper identification on our campuses and buildings.

What’s New at the Library?
By Elaine Birkinshaw
Thanks to our grant from the good folks at the Interfaith Council and the Nearly New Shop, we received 27 new large print titles in September. Among them are Memory Man by David Baldacci, The Redeemers by Ace Atkins, Alert by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge, The Rumor by Elin Hilderbrand, In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume, Beach Town by Mary Kay Andrews, Trauma by Michael and Daniel Palmer, Mademoiselle Chanel by C. W. Gortner, The President’s Shadow by Brad Meltzer, Tom Clancy Under Fire by Grant Blackwood, X by Sue Grafton, The Solomon Curse by Clive Cussler and Devoted in Death by J.D. Robb. Two of our new large print books are by authors who write mysteries set in the wide-open spaces of the West. Although Edgar award winner C.J. Box usually writes about Montana game warden Joe Pickett, his newest novel, Badlands, features Cassie Dewell who was introduced in The Highway with Cody Hoyt, a former police investigator in Montana. In Badlands, Cassie has taken a new position with a North Dakota sheriff’s department as a deputy sheriff in a town that is experiencing a boom in both oil and crime, bringing big-city problems to a small-town police department. Craig Johnson’s Sheriff Walt Longmire is known to some of you as the main character in the Netflix television series. His latest novel Dry Bones has the Absaroka County Sheriff solving the murder of a rancher whose body is found after the discovery of the skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex on his property. Deputy Sheriff Victoria Moretti aids Walt to decipher the clues and figure out who wanted the fossil remains badly enough to commit murder. The Longmire series is a modern-day drama of real cowboys and their relationship with real Indians living on the Rez. We also have the first three seasons of Longmire on DVD for your enjoyment. Here is a catalog hint for one of our new titles. If you are having trouble finding Sue Grafton’s new novel X, the best way to locate it is to type in “X Sue Grafton” in the “Keywords” search box on the catalog home screen. That search will bring up both the regular and large print editions for you to place your reserve. For those of you who haven’t discovered it yet, we also have Homeland: Season Four now, so if you have been patiently waiting, be sure to put your name in the queue! Happy Reading!

Sun City Center Photo Club Meeting Tuesday, October 13 at 6:30 p.m.
Have you ever wondered what was meant by “Green Screen” in digital photography? If you want to learn about this and how to edit using one of the most powerful green screen software programs, then join the Sun City Center Photo Club to view this presentation given by professional photographer, James Corwin Johnson. He will show examples and demonstrate techniques for creating dramatic artistic images as well as practical usage for product portraits and more. James has specialized in professional photography for over 35 years. He is a graduate of the Glen Fishback School of Photography. His work has appeared in Eastman Kodak, Paramount Pictures, Textbook and other consumer and industrial publications. In addition to owning and operating his own photography firm, he was director of photography at Yosemite National Park. During that time, he specialized in teaching students how to appreciate and photograph the natural wonders and wildlife at Yosemite. This led to his establishment of the now famous “Camera Walks.” He ran the photography studio and lab at the park and lectured in Workshops held in conjunction with the Ansel Adams Gallery and published the renowned “Yosemite Photographer’s Guide; Official Camera Walk Handbook”. Community members and guests are welcome to attend. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Caper Room with a tutorial. After a short business meeting, the program will begin.

No Sleeping on it for the Sew ’n Sews
No Summer off for Sew ’n Sews as they continue to team up to be a blessing to others, this time by making pillowcases for Con Kerr Cancer (and its recent name and mission change to Ryan’s Case for Smiles). They join thousands of volunteers across North America providing hospitalized children with whimsical pillowcases, giving them an emotional boost and reminding them they are not defined by their illnesses. With every stitch; every yard of fabric and every pillowcase; kids with life changing illnesses or injuries, feel better to heal better. At the end of October about 50 cases will be delivered to Quilts on Plum Lane in Dade City, one of many distribution sites. Want to learn more about Sew’n Sews?

Come celebrate the infamous Tim Finnegan’s life and mourn his passing followed by dinner, jovial games, a wee bit of Irish whiskey, and vivacious dancing to both mournful and high-spirited music! For those inquiring minds, the story of ‘FW’, based on Irish novelist James Joyce’s book, celebrates the mock death of Tim Finnegan.

October Atrium Window Featuring Helen Kashenider
Helen Kashenider is The Potters’ Wheel Club’s featured artist, displaying her hand built pottery in the Sun City Center Atrium window. Helen and her husband Frank moved to Sun City Center in 2004 from Pentwater Michigan. Helen first touched clay in the potters’ studio in 2007. She took both wheel and handbuilding classes before determining that handbuilding would be her forte. Nature, especially all flora, inspires her creations. Helen uses her skills creating both functional and decorative pottery. She prefers to high fire or raku her pieces for the final firing. On occasion, she will use airbrush techniques to apply glaze. Helen is passionate about clay and uses it as an expression of her outlook on life. She has created numerous ‘tree of life’ freestanding sculptures, leaf bowls and a family of lamas. She volunteered her time to the club as Club President for four years (2010-2014). She continues to volunteer as a teacher for handbuilding classes. Please stop by the Atrium and see Helen’s unique pottery during October.

Maintaining a Healthy Brain
By Suzanne Batt, President of the Duplicate Bridge Association of Sun City Center We all are constantly reminded that it’s important to keep our bodies healthy through exercise and our minds healthy through mental activities that challenge us. The game of bridge challenges our brains. Former president Dwight Eisenhower was an avid bridge player. During WWII, Eisenhower made the interesting comment that no board game can represent the complexity of the battlefield because all pieces are seen by both players. However, bridge presents more of a challenge. Bridge is all about communication – to your partner and to the opponents – both hear your bids and see your play of the cards – and then try to make the best moves. If you’ve decided to take up bridge – either for the first time ever or again after many years without playing bridge, you may be wondering what’s the best way to start. If you’re a total beginner to bridge and perhaps even playing card games, we recommend a beginner class such as Easybridge! 1. This class includes bridge basics as well as playing the game in a very relaxed setting. If you’ve played some bridge games but it was a long time ago, you have so many options depending on your wishes. You can attend a Social Duplicate game that starts in October and is preceded by a short lesson. You can review the many different bridge lesson offerings in this issue and decide what, if any, appeals to you. You can attend the Meet and Greet on Monday, October 5, in the Horizon Room to ask bridge teachers what they recommend given your specific situation. Give bridge a try and watch those new brain cells grow!

CA Military Veterans Sought for Photo Project
Bill Hodges (R), who initiated the Veterans Photo Project and Andy Ledoux who is taking the pictures.
By Phyllis Hodges “The SCC Community Association has a lot of great people in its membership, and among them are numerous veterans who have served our country proudly. They deserve to be recognized,” said Bill Hodges, whose committee is responsible for presentations in the Atrium 55” TV. Bill has initiated a Veterans Photo Project to honor these men and women by showing them on the TV when other presentations such as event promotions, Board of Directors, etc. are not running.
The project includes CA members who have served in any of the armed forces, including the Reserves, National Guard and Coast Guard. Andy Ledoux has volunteered to take the photos in the new Photo Club studio. If you are a veteran and wish to participate in this worthwhile program, please call Carol Donner at the the CA office at 813-633-3500 and tell her you wish to be contacted about the Veterans Photo Project. Someone will call you about the next available photo session.
News of Freedom Plaza By Peggy Burgess It’s autumn at Freedom Plaza and the leaves are turning. This has nothing to do with trees, but with residents turning the leaves of books, for the fall semester of their Graduate School for Seniors has just begun. They have notes and handouts to pore over, and suggested reading lists to ponder. Conspicuously absent from those turning “leaves” are any homework assignments, and neither are their report cards or grades to be concerned about. Freedom Plaza’s “Grad School”, as it is frequently called, is one of this country’s growing number of study courses designed especially for senior citizens who are interested in “learning for learning’s sake”. Their days of seeking college credits or furthering a career have past and education is a leisure pursuit, not a requirement. The idea of “no credits, no grades, no homework” educational programs for seniors is certainly not a new one: colleges and universities have been opening their doors, and their dorms, to older students—usually during the slack summer semesters—for decades. Elderhostel (now called Road Adventure) has been around a long time. More recent is the concept, and the creation, of complete leisure –time educational programs designed exclusively by and for seniors. The first such institution in this locale was the Sun City Center Community Church College, the model for Freedom Plaza’s
Graduate School for Seniors. In 1976 Dr. Robert Gingery, then pastor of Sun City Center Community Church, recognized the need for a senior educational program and founded the Community Church College. When Gingery retired from the ministry and moved to Freedom Plaza he responded to the requests of his fellow residents to set up such a program there. Thus, in 2009, the Freedom Plaza Graduate School for Seniors was born. The organization is administered by a board of resident trustees. There is a nominal charge for registration to cover fees and instructional materials, with any overage donated to the Freedom Plaza Scholarship Fund. The search for qualified instructors for “Grad School” rarely goes further than Freedom Plaza’s own resident directory. Numerous residents have college degrees, many in education, some with impressive pedagogic credentials. Others have had exceptional career experiences and not a few are published authors in their various fields of expertise, or in the noteworthy events of their lives. They are all generous in sharing their time and efforts. According to one news agency (seniorsource.com) taking a class in just about anything can improve cognitive ability and rejuvenate memory. Freedom Plaza residents add that classes offer social opportunities to meet people who share their interests. Mostly they say that attending Freedom Plaza’s “Grad School” is just plain fun!
Freedom Plaza residents dressed as characters from the movie livened up a “Wonderful Kingdom of Oz” party when Freedom Plaza recently celebrated its 23rd Anniversary. Left to right they are: Joe Birnbaum as Lion; Diane Turcotte as Dorothy; Sue Stephens as Tin Man and Bill Turcotte as Scarecrow.

Coalition Teams up with USF Health Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute, SCC Emergency Squad and Sun Towers Retirement Community
The South Shore Coalition for Mental Health and Aging, has teamed up with the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute, Sun City Center Emergency Squad and members of Sun Towers Retirement Community to offer free memory screenings for seniors in South Shore and Sun City Center. Led by Eileen Poiley, director of education at the Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute, members will attend four weekly training sessions on the community-based approach to providing memory screenings for Alzheimer’s and other diseases causing memory loss. Once completed, participants will be USF Health volunteers trained to serve as memory screening administrators of the Byrd Institute’s Community-Based Memory Screening Program. This expands a program that is currently successful in Tampa and The Villages, FL, making it available to residents of the SouthShore area. Each training session is recorded and then shared with members of
the community who are willing to serve as voluntary memory screening administrators. Interested volunteers must demonstrate a willingness and ability to commit to all training sessions. Some prior knowledge of HIPAA requirements is recommended, but not required. Once trained, memory screening administrators will commit to volunteering one day each month to provide screenings to South Shore community members who are concerned about their memory. Beginning in October, the South Shore Coalition will host free memory screenings at Sun Towers Retirement Community, the United Methodist Church of Sun City Center and Gannon University with other locations to follow as volunteers increase. If you are interested in scheduling a free memory screening, please contact the Coalition office at (813) 419-4902. To become a volunteer, please contact Debbie Caneen at (813) 892-2990 to find out more about classes in Sun City Center.

NEIGHBOR
By Agnes Baker Meet Gar y and Pauline (Polly) Marchman. Married 20 years, Gary has two sons and five grandchildren, while Polly has a son and a daughter plus two grandchildren. Gary was born in Tampa, Florida and served four years in the USMC in Vietnam. After graduating from USF in 1973, he accepted a position in South Carolina with DuPont as an electrical engineer remaining there until his retirement after 30 years. Polly was born in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania and she has spent most of her career publishing trade magazines for specific fields of interest. Moving on from publishing, she started E-Z Payroll Services and grew the business into a major service company in South Carolina. After his retirement, Gary joined Polly in developing and expanding their contacts until they decided to retire and just have fun! They came to Sun City Center in 1998; signed a contract for the building of their home and headed for the wide open spaces, spending the next two years RVing around the United States;
even venturing into the Canadian border to visit some of Polly’s family! Then, in 2001, they came home and settled into their new environment. Being the type that loved meeting folks and doing volunteer work, both quickly got involved and have been with the Security Patrol for over ten Years. Gary is a former trainer at our Fitness Center, former president and founder of the SCC Sports Car Club, Founder and President of the recently formed SCC Corvettes group. Gary is also constantly training for local triathlons, while Polly is very active with Sew & Sews and paints when time allows. They are members of the Tampa Bay Beach Boppers, a dance club that meets socially several times a month and they are members of and support activities sponsored by the United Methodist Church. Their at home family includes Poncho, a male eclectic parrot (yes, he talks!) and a small dog named Honey. And then, there is the car! A 2006 blue two-seater Corvette! Suggestions for this column?

Emergency Squad Gets 8 New EMRs
By Jan Huber Eight students have successfully completed the intense 52-hour “Emergency Medical Responder” course given at the SCC Emergency Squad Training center. Students are first trained and certified in CPR. Following this aspect of the course, the students studied medical and environmental emergencies, airway management, the human body, bleeding, shock and poisoning. Students also learned the proper technique for splinting, bandaging, back boarding and scooping a patient. Each student has now been assigned to one of eight teams and will begin a period of mentoring with an experienced ambulance crew. The Squad has 440 members and is growing. If you are interested in finding out more about this all-volunteer organization, please call 813-633-1411 or visit our website at www.scc-ems.us.
Security Patrol Security Patrol Volunteers of the Month Alice and Bob Boose
By Lynn Knapp Alice and Bob Boose moved to Florida from Pennsylvania in 1980 when he was transferred by his company. They moved to Sun City Center in 2009. Alice heard about the Security Patrol shortly thereafter and walked into the Patrol office to volunteer as a driver. Of course, she convinced Bob to join too. He did not need much persuasion since he sees the value of the Patrol. “This is as safe and secure a community as one can find,” Bob says. Alice said that she is passionate about volunteer work. According to Alice, “Everyone should have a passion for some kind of service to others.” She helps at Hospice and at Southeast Guide Dogs, where she has been working for 20 years as a volunteer. Both Alice and Bob have been active with Southeast Guide Dogs. They have raised two Goldador puppies, preparing them to be service dogs. The puppies went everywhere with them: shopping, church, vacation, dining out. They adopted “Linny,” a former service dog and then a dog that had been a breeding dog. These two collies have a prominent place in their home. Both Alice and Bob are valuable members of the Security Patrol. Bob drives while Alice takes care of the radio. Alice also dispatches, often weekly, in addition to serving with Bob on Team 3. They agree that the Patrol helps to keep crime lower in Sun City Center. “It’s all about becoming family for others,” Alice says.

Hall from page 1. they replace the lighter-duty chairs that provided show seating in Community Hall for many years (and that have been re-assigned to the Rollins Theater on the Central Campus). The new chairs are much deeper and just ‘feel’ better. You should notice improved sound in the room with more loudspeakers to give a surround sound atmosphere when appropriate. The new spotlight compartment should give us improved lighting of speakers’ podiums or other highlights in the front of the room from left to right and from floor to ceiling. Access to the stage on the left side is much nicer now, with a small waiting area for upcoming speakers, and steps leading up to the stage that are now all the same height! Unseen by many, the kitchen area has really undergone the most remarkable changes. There are two new refrigerator-
The News of Sun City Center freezers, with a smaller unit that should serve the refreshment needs for our invited entertainers and their staffs. Three new warming ovens are in place to help organizations that have caterers providing a meal for a large number of people and with new convection ovens, burners, a four-position griddle and high-speed coffee machines will help in the preparation of just about any menu. This report would be incomplete without mentioning all the work to replace the roof with new energy efficient materials, and the new paint that brings the building into the now familiar Sun City Center color scheme. There is a lot more to be done around the building; plans to enlarge the parking lot were delayed by the incessant rains in July and August, and the CA Board decided to go with what we already have for the rest of this year, and to enlarge and repave that area once the snowbirds have flown north next spring.
