LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Neighbors and friends, A little poem about Thanksgiving Days (365 to be exact). It’s not just about one day a year, it’s about every day and everyone in your days. Be thankful! Be thankful for this day, and you will fill it with joy. Be appreciative of those around you, and they will bring much value to your life. Be grateful for your opportunities, and you’ll find yourself making the most of them. Be thankful for what you have, and you’ll get more from it. Be grateful for the challenges, and they will help you become stronger. Appreciate the dark, cloudy days and they’ll instantly become brighter. Appreciate the sunny days, and you’ll enjoy them even more. Those things you take for granted will fade from usefulness as you forget they’re even there. By contrast, those things for which you’re thankful remain readily available and will grow even stronger as a result of your appreciative attention. Consider how very fortunate you are. Consider it often. The more you count your blessings, the more there will be to count. (Author unknown) Remember to send your December messages, pictures and announcements. With gratitude,
Cindi Matter

hether you live in Cleveland, Ohio or Wesley Chapel, FL, fall and winter translate to cooler temperatures outdoors. The leaves are hissing a dry rustle and the air is growing chillier; winter is just around the corner. Homeowners may be pulling out their scarves and mittens and packing away their tank tops and swimsuits in preparation, but how can you also help your home weather the cold temperatures? The U.S. Department of Energy predicting natural gas and heating oil prices to rise again this year, now is the time for homeowners to address rising home heating costs and to

integrate winterizing tips to conserve energy. IERNA’s Heating & Cooling, a local HVAC comapny, is committed to the community and will do Whatever it Takes to help educate consumers and provide cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions to their heating needs.
There are several things a homeowner should consider doing as the cooler months approach.
• Open the drapes during the day to allow the sun to help heat your home.
• Schedule a professional to inspect your furnace, heat pump or heat strips
• Turn your ceiling fans on reverse and run them on low to help circulate warm air
• Schedule a professional to inspect and clean the chimney
• Replace your old light bulbs with Compact Florescent Lamps or with LED bulbs.
• Vacuum vents and other heating components • Replace furnace or A/C filters • Seal leaks around doors and windows • Add or replace worn weather-stripping around doors and windows • Caulk gaps where needed
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy notes that air leaks cost homeowners a surprising amount of money, so be sure and winterize your home before chilly weather arrives.
• Insulate! Focus on crawl spaces, basements, walls, floors and attics • Consider replacing old windows with newer, more energy-efficient models
Both alternatives are longer lasting than traditional light bulbs and use less energy. Winter means fewer hours of sunlight and more time indoors, so use light bulbs that last longer and are more energy efficient For more information, please contact IERNA’s Heating & Cooling at 813-948-6355 or visit their website at www.IernaAir.com.

HART Board Meeting Recap: Light Rail Vote Nov 2 The Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) Board of Directors adopted light rail as the preferred alternative transit mode to implement in the study areas of the Alternatives Analysis. The HART Board voted on this during its regular meeting at County Center in downtown Tampa. Since July 2009, HART has been conducting the Alternatives Analysis to study increased and improved transportation options in an area that extends from New Tampa to downtown Tampa (Northeast Corridor), and continues to the Westshore area and through Tampa International Airport to Hillsborough Avenue (West Corridor).
In November, HART staff will present findings and recommendations on the specific routes where the light rail will travel within the Northeast and West Corridors. As a requirement to request capital funding for a major transit investment, HART will submit its final Alternative Analysis to the Federal Transit Administration in December.
The next HART Board Regular Meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 15, 8:30 a.m. at County Center, 18th Floor, 601 E. Kennedy Blvd., in downtown Tampa. For more information about the Alternatives Analysis, residents may visit www.goHARTaa.org
The vote came after HART staff presented the findings of the Alternatives Analysis study, which recommended light rail over bus rapid transit based on air quality benefits, the ability to encourage transitoriented development, strong support from the public and partnering agencies (i.e. Tampa International Airport, Metropolitan Planning Organization, etc.), and consistency with local and regional plans.

ARE YOUR SYMPTOMS RELATED TO YOUR FOOD? by Paula Owens
A
t least 80% of my female clients complain of lower abdominal bloating, and 70-80% of my male clientele gripe of indigestion or chronic sinus issues.
Did you know? • One of the leading causes of obesity is food sensitivity? • 60-80% of the population is sensitive to one or more foods? • Food sensitivities are a primary cause of emotional problems? Are you constantly struggling with reaching or maintaining a healthy weight due to food cravings? Foods you are sensitive to are toxic to your system. If you crave or are addicted to a specific food, you are probably sensitive to it. Food sensitivities can cause many health ailments and some serious conditions such as lupus or autism. The toxic conditions most commonly associated with food sensitivities are skin rashes and hives, disrupted sleep, constipation, runny nose, itchy eyes and ears, bluish or black tint under the eyes, chronic cough, stiff neck, joint pain, bags under the eyes, sore throat, headache, bad breath, back ache, asthma and sinus congestion. Years ago, Dr. Arthur Coca popularized the "pulse test" for food allergy. He found that some (but definitely not all) allergic individuals have a significant increase in their resting pulse after eating a particular food allergen. Others have observed that eating certain trigger foods causes them to retain fluids, which manifests as a significant weight gain that doesn't disappear
Page 14
by the next morning (like most water-weight gain). Any body system can react to food allergy: Some allergies may affect your pulse or weight, while other allergies don't affect pulse or weight at all. Food allergy is the reaction of the body's immune system to a food or food ingredient that it recognizes as "foreign." Food intolerance/sensitivity is an adverse reaction to a food, food ingredient or additive that does not involve the immune system; it typically involves the digestive system.
The top 8 foods responsible for 90% of food reactions are: 1. Milk & Dairy Products 2. Eggs 3. Sugar 4. Fish & Shellfish 5. Soy 6. Corn 7. Wheat & Gluten 8. Peanuts & Tree Nuts (such as Almonds and Walnuts) In addition, many people are intolerant to MSG, food dyes, artificial sweeteners, sulfites and other preservatives, beer, wine and cocktail mixes.
November 2010
What can you do? For one week, eliminate all dairy products, corn, eggs, soy, peanuts and wheat. If your symptoms disappear after one week, you need go no further. However, if you still aren't symptom-free after eliminating all dairy, corn, eggs soy, peanuts and wheat, additionally avoid anything containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats, kamut, spelt), tomatoes, citrus fruits, shrimp, crab and other shell fish, chocolate, yeast, coffee and all artificial sweeteners (aspartame). Supplements and protein powders with additives and fillers should also be eliminated. If you have persistent health issues that don't seem to get better no matter what you do, you should consider having a thorough screening done even if you get a negative result on your self-test. To avoid food sensitivities, it’s important to get into the habit of rotating all foods every day and reading the list of ingredients on all products. I challenge you to eliminate the top 8 culprit foods and see how incredibly good you feel and look! l Paula is a nutritionist, fitness expert and weight loss coach with over 20 years of experience.

Local Rotarians Team Up with Helping Hands Pantry to Provide Special Thanksgiving Food to Local Families in Need
A
s a long line runs into the parking lot of Atonement Lutheran Church, most motorists pay little attention as they navigate Hwy 54 in Wesley Chapel. Few desire to contemplate the reasons that over 180 local families re-create this line each Wednesday from 10AM-2PM. People look the other way, perhaps because they fear that the devastating effects of un/ under-employment and the housing bust could happen to them or one of their family members anytime.
Our regular weekly club breakfast meetings are held on Friday mornings at 7:00 AM at the Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club, 5811 Tampa Palms Blvd. Our schedule for future club and District events, their dates, meeting times and speakers is listed below.
