MFST Sponsors Honor Flight
Local World War II Veteran Joins Comrades on DC Trip
Submitted by B. Frank Kepley, CAPT, USN, (Ret) Augustine C. (Gus) Fleischman, WWII US Army Signal Corps veteran, was recently invited to take one of the Honor Flights conducted by nonprofit organizations dedicated to transporting as many WWII veterans as possible to Washington D.C. to see the memorials of the respective war(s) in which they fought. Mr. Fleischman’s Honor Flight trip, which took place on October 8, 2013, was sponsored by the Military Family Support Trust (MFST). Brigadier Colin Howgill, RM (Ret), Chairman of the MFST, served as Mr. Fleischman’s guardian for the trip. All costs associated with the trip were paid for by MFST. Gus landed over the Normandy beaches on D-Day Plus Three. He served at St. Mer Eglise before moving down to Paris then into the Ardennes where he was at

the ‘Battle of the Bulge’ during that awful winter weather when so many troops froze to death. After the Allies broke through the
German line, he pushed forward with his unit to the Remagen Bridge and then on to Leipzig. Fleischman’s military award
medal has a silver star representing the battles of Normandy, Northern France The Ardennes, Rhineland, and Central Europe. After the conclusion of hostilities in Germany, Fleischman and a small number of others from his Signals unit, were ordered to the Pacific Theater. Gus took a freight train to Paris, then to Marseilles, where he boarded a ship bound for the Panama Canal and the Pacific. His ship was South of Hawaii when the first atom bomb was detonated. On arrival in Manila the local Japanese had not yet gotten the message that the war was over so their arrival was more exciting than anticipated. Gus said he was extremely grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Honor Flight. He encourages all World War 2 veterans to take advantage of this “extraordinary program.” Continued on Page 5
Former Blue Angel Pilot Rescues Local Luncheon Program Replacement Speaker Makes an Outstanding Impression
Major Fred Stankovich, USMC (ret.) stepped up to the plate and delivered a grand slam! He was the planned speaker for the November Silver Osprey Squadron meeting, but agreed to come a month early when the government shutdown prevented the scheduled U.S. Army Colonel from speaking. Major Stankovich was the #2 pilot of the 1979-1981 Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team. Stankovich graduated from City College of New York with a mechanical engineering

degree. In 1970, he graduated Marine Corps Officer Candidate School and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. After OCS, Stankovich was assigned to flight training in Pensacola, and he earned his wings in November 1971. His first assignment was to VMA214 (the famed “Blacksheep Squadron”) at MCAS El Toro. He later completed “Top Gun” school and became a Top Gun instructor pilot. His next assignment was with the Blue Angels. When he completed his Blue Angel tour in 1981, Stankovich left active duty and became
an airline pilot. Between 1981 and 2012, Major Stankovich flew as Captain for People Express Airlines, Continental Airlines and United Airlines. He has over 13,000 airline pilot hours in the 737 and 777 aircraft. As a Marine, his 3,500 hours was mostly in the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, which he flew, both in his Marine squadrons and with the Blue Angels. His talk gave the luncheon group gathered at Freedom Plaza, a true insider’s look at the Blue Angels. Major Stankovich started his talk by explaining that the reason the Blue Angels were formed (in 1946 at NAS
1979 Blue Angels in front of Douglas A-4 Sky Hawk.

Jacksonville) was to help recruit new members to Naval Aviation. Candidates for the Blue Angels are not recruited. They apply as individuals to be one of the eight pilots on the team. To become a new team member, they must be approved by all eight of the existing members. Candidates must have a minimum of 1,250 tactical jet flight hours and be carrier qualified. One slot is always reserved for a Marine aviator. The team usually flies in 70 air shows per year, but the current budget discussions in Washington, DC, have grounded the Blue Angels except for two hours per day to maintain proficiency. After his presentation Major Stankovich fielded questions from the audience. Asked if the aircraft used by the Blue Angels differed from the standard fleet versions, he said yes in some small but important ways. Because they are constantly flying so close together (the goal is no closer than 3 feet), the control stick is Continued on Page 6

Storms of Life
The Editor’s Corner
Suzanne S. Austin-Hill ©2011
For Those Who Served & Those Who Still Do By E. Adam Porter, Editor, News of Kings Point Monday, November 11, 2013 is Veterans Day. I thought it would be fitting to recognize some of the veterans who have made a difference in my life. As you read this column, I encourage you to remember the veterans who have helped shape your life and to honor them in the best way you see fit. I grew up an “Army brat,” my ex-stepfather was a military policeman who was frequently deployed when I was growing up. I remember Christmases when we received BDUs and canteens. Combat boots from the BX and machetes from Panama. Letters and cassette tapes from some anonymous patch of desert. My brothers and I were proud of this legacy and two of them followed in his footsteps, joining the Army shortly after high school graduation. I went another direction, but have always carried with me a deep and abiding respect for the men and women who swore the vows, survived the training and served our country. Between that time and today, countless veterans have had a positive and powerful impact on my life. Let me introduce a few of them.
Julian Dixon
Julian Dixon, my grandfather, was a proud veteran of the United States Army. He served as a Captain in World War 2 and a Major in Korea. Though he passed away before I was born, I grew up hearing his “war stories” secondhand from my mother. By all accounts, Major Dixon was a man of strong character. A man who led with distinction, proud of his opportunity to serve his country. After he left the Army, Grandpa retired to Orange Springs, Florida
November, 2013
where my mother and her twin brother, Robbie, grew up. He was devoted to his family and doted on his wife. He passed away suddenly while at work, Tuesday, December 8, 1959. If I could be granted one wish in this life, it would be to have a beer with Major Dixon.
Seasonal contests wage between storm clouds and sunset… Darkening shades of gray, hints of black sit heavy, Pushing down forcibly upon the streaks and stripes of soft pinks, faint purples and inevitable feisty oranges that mark day’s end... But even clouds fully-laden with turbulent, uncharted waters of challenge and change, Threatening the status-quo Must surrender... ...to the colorful palate that resurrects itself as sunrise.
News of Robert Dixon
Robert Dixon, my uncle, enlisted in the United States Air Force right out of high school. Like most boys his age, it was either enlist or get drafted. Uncle Robbie spent two tours in Vietnam. He doesn’t talk much about the war, but when he does speak, about his military service or anything else, Robbie is well worth listening to. A source of quiet wisdom with a prodigious memory, a strong appreciation and good ear for great music and little tolerance for political nonsense, his perspective has provided me with much wisdom, inspiration and conversation. Though it might embarrass him to hear that. John Sholine was a neighbor of ours when I was growing up. Our family ranched quarter horses. He ran cattle and occasionally purchased horses from us. What I remember most about Mr. Sholine was his passion for reading. He is one of a handful of people who pushed me to pursue a writing career. In a lot of ways, John Sholine is indirectly responsible for the way I have been providing for my family now for umpteen years. He introduced me to his favorite authors, and many of them became my own. Then, upon my graduation from high school, Mr. Sholine presented me with a poem he had written way back in 1945. He had scribbled the poem on some scrap paper, a nervous teenager trying to pass the night in a foxhole somewhere in Germany. The opening stanza began: “What Continued on Page 9

Meet The Bowkers
Page 3
Linda and John Bowker are the SCC Emergency Squad featured volunteers for the month of October. John joined the Squad in the IT department in 1997 and Linda followed a year later. Together they now work for Team 4 and 8 as night dispatchers. During quiet moments they are able to continue their various computer-related activities for the local monthly newspaper and the New England Club. Linda continues her life-long hobby of sewing, maintains the databases for the Peripheral Neuropathy Resource Group and the Sew n’ Sews Club. John is hailed as the community historian, is now in his 22nd year with the Amateur Radio Club and his 14th year producing an on-line newsletter for Sun City Center. They met in high school and recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. We are indeed fortunate to have such a dedicated and committed couple on the Squad.
Squad Welcomes 7 New Emergency Medical Responders
L to R: Michelle Blue, Al DiSalvio, M.J. Ricketts, Debbie Jasmer, Terri Lance, Asst. Chief Medical, Stephen Livingston, Gayle Hendrich, Hal Hendrich.
Seven students have successfully completed the intense 52 hour “Emergency Medical Responder” course given at the Squad training center. Students are first trained and certified in CPR. Following this aspect of the course, students studied medical and environmental emergencies, airway management, the human body, bleeding control, 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.

Scam Alert! Latest Scam Targets Timeshare Owners
Recently we have been receiving reports of a scam targeting timeshare owners. Though there are several variations of how this works, here is the basic rundown: The scammer calls a timeshare owner claiming to be a representative of a party interested in purchasing the timeshare. They offer a plethora of services, whatever they can get the owner to “bite” on. Some of these offers may be to negotiate a deal of some kind for the property. For their “services” they ask for a “small” up front payment. Most of the time they call this “good faith” or “earnest” money. Sometimes the scammer even uses an international angle, claiming they can save the seller thousands in “domestic sales tax” if they work with their “overseas associates.” No legitimate real estate
The News of Kings Point
representative will ask you for up front money before any work has even been done, and definitely not before you have seen a contract or had a firm offer made in writing. In nearly every case, all funds change hands at the closing table. In these scam cases, there will be no legitimate buyer at all. The scammer simply pockets the so-called “earnest” money and moves on to the next victim. So here’s what you can do to avoid being a victim. #1 – Never entertain purchase offers without first seeing a written contract #2 – Never hand over any cash to a “broker” without working through a trusted and established intermediary #3 – Check for references and credentials. Does the supposed broker even have a legitimate business and license to practice in this state? #4 – If someone calls with an offer, ask them to mail you a formal offer without giving them your address. Repeat, do NOT give them your address. Do not give out any personal information at all. #5 – Get all the contact information from them you can and report this information to the Florida Department of Consumer Services at 1-800-HELP-FLA (4357352). Look out for telephone scammers folks. Because they are on the lookout for you.

Major Stankovich talked about the effects of “sequestration” on all of the military flight demonstration teams. All military sponsored air shows were canceled in April for the remainder of the fiscal year. Major Stankovich, who still keeps in close contact with the Blue Angels alumni, indicated that he is hopeful that some air shows might be approved for fiscal year 2014. The next meeting of the Silver Osprey Squadron will be Friday, November 8, 2013. The speaker will be Captain Dick Petrucci, USN (ret.) who will give the squadron an update on the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II of the Joint Strike Fighter program.
tighter than fleet models so pilots can always have immediate response. This means that the pilot must constantly pull back with 20 pounds of force in order to maintain level flight. It can be quite fatiguing when flying 40-minute air shows and onehour practice sessions. He also pointed out that contrary to normal military procedures, they do not wear G-suits, explaining that, “the suits just get in the way.” They would rather get through the 7G turns without them. He said that this is just part of the job and is overcome through much practice.

Care for the Caregiver
Alzheimer Alert
Submitted by Debbie Caneen, Director of Admissions at Sun Towers Are you a Hyper Vigilant Caregiver? Are you caring for someone who wanders the house at night? Do you live in fear of your spouse or parent being left alone? Is there a possibility of them being injured due to a fall or that they may even set the house on fire due to Alzheimer’s or a Dementia related disease? Caregivers continually come into my office with an exhausted look and even severe depression. How long is the average individual able to function without a good night’s sleep? When you care for someone who might wander in the night and become injured or damage their surroundings due to a disease that they are unable to control it can be exhausting and last for years. Meredeth Rowe, RN, PhD is
researching the effects of this very situation at the University of South Florida, College of Nursing. Dr. Rowe would like to understand the role of the caregiver and what appropriate interventions might be available to assist them. Stress from being “Hyper Vigilant” is common among caregivers. Each time your loved one stirs in the night, you are immediately up for the task but at what consequence to your own health? With Dr. Rowe’s “Alz Alert” system, she is trying to determine if the constant vigilance keeps the sympathetic nervous system on high alert, working even at night. This state would increase the risk for heart disease for the caregiver because it’s much like having untreated high blood pressure. If you are in this situation and would like assistance, Dr. Continued on Page 9

Brian Pomeroy
mother’s life a little less than two decades ago, and he has set about making those years the best of her life ever since. He is a good man in every way that matters, and it is a continual blessing to see the way he loves my mom. I have also had the privilege to know Brian’s father, Wyman Pomeroy. It is clear to all who knew him, from whom Brian learned to be a man. It is equally clear that he took these lessons to heart, quietly leading by example, and building a reputation for integrity in and out of the service. Brian joined the USAF just out of high school and did “the whole twenty” before retiring. He spent much of that time as an award winning Air Force recruiter. He gladly shared his experience and wisdom with my eldest son when Chris first became interested in military service. Christian Merrell has been my son since he was four years old. As he grew up, I did my best to
instill in Chris a sense of duty, honor and responsibility. He was always a protector, looking out for kids who others may have denigrated. He first showed interest in military service during his sophomore year in high school. Today he is in his second year in the United States Air Force, stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom. He has four years left on his first contract and no firm idea yet whether he will stay in for another fourteen. Whether he stays in the Air Force or moves on to civilian life, it has done this father’s heart good to see the positive impact the military has had on my son. I am proud of Chris and honored by his decision to serve his fellow citizens in this way. What’s my purpose in introducing you to these men? Two reasons. First, I wanted to spark your memories of the veterans who have helped shape your life. And I also wanted to remind all of us that, no matter when, where or how long they served, veterans are people first, regular folks who just happened to choose to do some extraordinary things. They deserve our respect and our thanks. And they could probably use a hug. With respect and deepest regard, thank you.

Review of “The Game” at the Rollins Theater, Sun City Center Submitted by Dee Lane Have you ever wondered where all the talented “Baby Boomers” ended up? As best I can tell, the cream of the crop has landed in Sun City Center. The Performing Arts Company has opened another season in the Rollins Theater. Well known for their excellent original musicals and their latest, “The Game,” lived up to my high expectations. There are many new faces on stage as well as my favorites from previous productions. “The Game” delivers what every memorable musical should; catchy songs, exciting dance numbers, finely tuned acting and a plot that engages the audience as soon the curtain opens. Music Director and member of the cast, Ellen Kleinschmidt, draws out the most from everyone on stage as they project an overwhelming joy of singing and dancing. The collection
of familiar songs move the plot forward, while featuring solos, small groups and the whole cast. I left replaying the melodies in my head for days. Professionalism is the cornerstone on which every show at the Rollins Theater is built. “The Game” follows in that artistic tradition and hits the mark on every front. The play is set in a senior living center where the same residents sit in the same chairs, doing the same thing (playing poker) day in and day out. Suddenly the routine is threatened by a looming financial crisis that could result in the facility being closed down. As long as the ladies can remember (it’s the short term memories they have trouble with) their home has been Sunny Acres Retirement Resort and Spa for the “discerning older woman.” Tradition is a tough wall to knock down, but opening the doors to male residents is a wild card that just might help pay
the monthly bills. Director and former Broadway actor Lew Resseguie manages to bring the entire cast up to his high standards. He demonstrates control of pace and crisp timing throughout the entire show. It never slows down, but goes from laugh to song and dance followed by tender moments. Much like a good Pickle Ball game, there is never a dull moment. The ensemble cast works together like a well-oiled machine in overdrive. Standouts include Babs Cominoli in the role of Grace Vanderhooten who is a tightly wound ball of energy. You never know what she is going to say next but most likely it will be a little racy and full of spunk. Dan Tackitt, a company regular, brings excellent stage presence and ease to his role of Artie Evans. As a slick operator, Artie sets his sights on one of the card playing ladies and
proceeds to sweep her off her feet. Returning to the Rollins stage, Peter Farina playing James Dean Vanderhooten is well cast as the fish out of water, the awkward son of longtime resident Grace. His acting reflects a moody, highlyfocused attitude, reminiscent of his characters namesake. The “Shady Ladies” and their neighbors the “Bluebirds” don’t agree on much of anything besides poker, but they both love to meddle in the love life of activities director Rosemary Philips, played by the always popular Ellen Kleinschmidt. As an actress Ellen brings her charismatic engaging personality to every role. The Game runs for two weekends so be sure to get your tickets before they are all gone. You will be glad you did and it helps support the growing arts scene in Sun City Center.

be in the house allowing you to remain in bed in a somewhat restful state. Caregivers seem to have a sense that their loved one is fine to wander for about 15 minutes before “getting into any trouble”, so the alert system has an option that could be considered a snooze button. The caregiver has the option of setting the time allowed for
the snooze and then the system pictured below will give a digital readout of where their loved one is at any given time in the home based on the placement of the sensors. There is nothing for the individual with Alzheimer’s to wear as the entire system takes care of itself. So far, the study has revealed that participants with the disease
have shown an 85% reduction in injuries and caregivers are receiving treatment due to sleep dysfunction. If you are would like to participate in the free study with Dr. Rowe which takes place IN YOUR HOME, please call Debbie Caneen, Director of Admissions at Sun Towers: 813-892-2990 for more information.
Rowe would like to have your participation in her study. Her team from USF would place her monitoring system in your home which will alert you each time your loved one gets out of bed. Should they continue on in moving through the house, up to 16 sensors can be placed to also alert you where they might

The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) honored JROTC Commanding Officers and cadets at the October luncheon, which was held in the Florida Room at the SCC North Side Atrium on October 2, 2013. Commanding Officers from four area high school programs, East Bay, Bloomingdale, Brandon and Riverview and a cadet from each, were featured. The Program consisted of a discussion by each Commanding Officer relative to their particular JROTC program as well as cadet comments discussing how the programs have benefitted them and what their future goals and aspirations are. Captain Hugh Howarth, USN (Ret), the MOAA JROTC Coordinator, moderated the discussion. The SCC Chapter supports the following JROTC programs: Bloomingdale, Brandon, Durant, East Bay, Lennard, Newsome, Riverview, and Spoto High Schools along with the South County Career Center. The chapter recognizes an outstanding Junior Cadet with a National MOAA Medal, a Certificate from our Chapter, and an Honorarium of $50.
The Military Officers of the World Wars (MOWW) featured World War II veteran Harold Heil, who served in Germany in 1944, at their luncheon in Freedom Plaza on September 19, 2013. Harold experienced eleven continuous months of combat as a combat Engineer while moving from Omaha Beach, across Germany, with the 205th Combat Engineers. His Battalion was charged with removing antipersonnel mines, building bridges and creating roads. They were responsible for building a strategically critical bridge across the Ruhr River, which was considered the Gateway to Germany. They built 6,000 miles of roads, constructed 100 bridges, and removed 6000 anti-personnel mines on their march toward Berlin. After crossing the Elbe River they were ordered to stop before crossing the Rhine River to allow the Russians to take Berlin. Harold is one of the veterans interviewed for the Library of Congress Veterans History Project. Although Harold is 90 years old, according to all accounts, he still beats most of the MOWW members (and others) in golf.

Lincoln received only 40 percent of the popular vote but handily defeated the three other candidates. • On Nov. 8, 1895, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen becomes the first person to observe X-rays, an advance that became an important diagnostic tool in medicine. In 1897, X-rays were first used on a military battlefield to find bullets and broken bones inside patients. • On Nov. 9, 1938, Jewish businesses and homes in Munich are destroyed, and Jewish men, women and children are beaten and murdered, in an exercise in terror.

Contract Bridge Super Crossword
By Steve Becker CIVIL WAR
STEALING HARTS
Many years ago, the late Marty Cohn was playing in a national team-of-four championship and held the South hand. Cohn was well-known for his psychic bids. On top of that, he was the foremost advocate of opening the bidding with a three-card major suit, even with good hands. His partners were barred from raising his opening major-suit bids -- unless they were willing to incur his considerable wrath -- with less than four or, preferably, five-card or better support.
Solutions on Page 31
When it was Cohn’s turn to bid on this deal -- after two passes -- he asked his left-hand opponent, Mike Moss, which of his teammates would be holding the South hand at the other table. This was more than a casual question, since Cohn -- faced with a wide choice of actions -- was hoping to gain a psychological advantage by knowing who his opposite number at the other table would be. But Moss didn’t know, or pretended not to know, who was sitting South at the other table. Furthermore, he contended that Cohn was not entitled to this information, and that Cohn could call the tournament director if he wanted to settle the issue. But Cohn, unwilling to pursue the matter further, instead replied, “In that case, I’ll open the bidding with seven hearts.” Everyone passed, and Moss led the ace of spades. Cohn ruffed, drew a round of trumps, cashed four club tricks, discarding a diamond from dummy, and so made the grand slam. Said Cohn when the hand was over, “The next time I ask a civil question, I’ll expect a civil answer!” ©) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Strange But True
By Samantha Weaver • It was British author George Bernard Shaw who made the following sage observation: “If all the economists were laid end to end, they’d never reach a conclusion.” • If you’re planning a trip to Hollywood next summer, you might want to make a stop at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Not only can you visit the graves of such stars as Rudolph Valentino, Jayne Mansfield and Douglas Fairbanks (both Sr. and Jr.), but in the summer you also can picnic there while watching classic movies. • You might be surprised to learn that eggplants have fairly high levels of nicotine. • You may have heard that painting your kitchen red or yellow can help stimulate your appetite, while painting it blue can help suppress it. The kitchen isn’t the only living area in which color research has been done, though; those who study such things say that those who sleep in yellow bedrooms get an average of 7.7 hours of sleep per night, while those in purple bedrooms sleep only 5.9 hours per night on average. • Penn Jillette, of the magic team of Penn and Teller, has a son named Zolten Penn Jillette and a daughter named Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette. • Those of you who are pregnant might want to take note of some old superstitions: It was once thought that hiding a knife under the mattress of a laboring woman would cut the birth pains. Also, unlocking all the doors in the house and tying knots in the curtains were believed to guarantee an easy delivery. (Just don’t try these in the hospital.) ********************************** • Thought for the Day: “Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm, but the harm does not interest them.” -- T.S. Eliot © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Salome’s Stars
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You enjoy the attention early in the week, but it might be a good idea to opt for some privacy by week’s end so that you can have more time to consider an upcoming decision. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You unearthed some surprising facts. Now you need to consider how to use them to your advantage. Meanwhile, it might be best to keep what you’ve learned secret for now. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A comment by a colleague piques your curiosity to know more. Best advice: You’ll find people more likely to offer information if you’re discreet when making your inquiries. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels begin to rise by midweek. This allows you to catch up with your heavy workload and still have plenty of get-up-andgo to go out on the town this weekend. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You’re probably roaring your head off about a perceived slight from a longtime critic. Ignore it. That person might just be trying to goad you into doing something you might later regret. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept.22) The early part of the week is open to spontaneity. Then it’s time to settle into your usual routine to get all your tasks done. A personal situation could require more attention from you. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to October 22) A meeting of the minds on a workplace project might well develop into something more personal for Librans looking for romance. Aspects are also favorable for platonic relationships. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A more-positive mood might be difficult to assume in light of a recent problem involving the health of someone special. But by week’s end, your emotional barometer should start to rise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Look for a changed attitude from a former adversary once he or she realizes you have your colleagues’ full support. Now you can refocus your energies on that workplace project. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan.19) This time, a difference of opinion might not be resolved in your favor. But be patient. It ultimately could all work out to your advantage, as new information begins to develop. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.18) A tug of war develops between the artistic Aquarian’s creative aspect and his or her practical side. Best advice: Prioritize your schedule so you can give appropriate time to both. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You could be entering a career phase awash with job-related demands. But avoid being swamped by the overflow and, instead, keep treading water as you deal with demands one by one. BORN THIS WEEK: You are an exceptionally loyal person, and you’re respected for your ability to keep the secrets entrusted to you. ©) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
