Welcome to Our World It’s no longer a secret! Our little community in southern Hillsborough County continues to grow and thrive! SouthShore is now the place to be in Hillsborough County! With the Amazon Fulfillment Center, Gateway Classic Cars, St Joeseph’s Hospital- South, Gannon University and the YMCA all landing right here in SouthShore over the last year, we continue to watch our community transform from a sleepy little town with potential to a place filled with opportunity, options and promise! SouthShore offers a community college, a postgraduate university, two large hospitals, arts and cultural venues, residential communities and tourism destinations. With three major roadways — U.S. 41, Interstate 75 and U.S. 301 — running through SouthShore’s central location, we offer close proximity to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Orlando. The community is home to the beautiful Alafia and Little Manatee rivers, both of which flow directly into Tampa Bay. We are an ultimate ecotourism destination with so many treasures to discover. Daily sunsets, waterside dining, seasonal manatee visits and beautiful nature preserves are just some of the unique opportunities we have available for residents and visitors to enjoy. The SouthShore Chamber of Commerce is an organization that works together with our businesses, residents, nonprofit organizations, schools and county government to grow the area while maintaining its special quality of life. We are constantly finding unique ways to

Each year, the SouthShore Chamber of Commerce shines the spotlight on several area residents who exemplify community. In one way or another, publicly and behind the scenes, every day each of these Remarkable People contribute to the heart and soul of SouthShore, and represent what is remarkable about where we live.
137 Harbor Village Lane, Apollo Beach, FL 33572 The SouthShore Chamber of Commerce merged two historic chambers in 2011, combining Apollo Beach and Ruskin. The Apollo Beach chamber was founded in 1985 originally as an all-volunteer welcome center. The Ruskin chamber dates back to 1928 and was the very first chamber of commerce in southern Hillsborough County.
This issue of Explore, the SouthShore destination magazine, is published by the SouthShore Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Tampa Bay Times.
These two communities of SouthShore offer the ideal blend of natural beauty, relaxation and recreation. The area combines both waterfront and rural communities that are fast becoming business destinations as Tampa Bay grows. The mission of the SouthShore Chamber of Commerce is to commit ourselves to growth through proper planning, new membership acquisition and servicing of existing members through value-added projects. The organization seeks continuous improvement in the ability to provide leadership needed for effective economic development. The vision is to preserve the historic heritage while meeting the changing business needs of the community.

Tony has seen Ruskin grow from a small farming town to a developing community just outside of Tampa. Though most of his time is dedicated to the family-owned Zipperer’s Funeral Home, Tony’s personally devoted to the local VFW and has served as both past commander and district commander. The bond goes deep. “I’m a veteran of Desert Storm, but a lot of the guys in the VFW served in Vietnam. There’s a special bond between us,” he said. “It’s a real community.” Known as someone who finds it hard to say no when asked to volunteer, Tony serves on the SouthShore Chamber’s board of directors, and was a past president of the (then) Ruskin Chamber of Commerce.
Gen. John Paulk (ret.) Should the governor ever need an economic development ambassador for Ruskin, John would be the guy. Every candidate for public office whose district represents greater Ruskin receives a VIP tour of the area. John shows them the sights of a community embracing the future, points out businesses like Amazon’s new package center, the recently opened Ruskin Community College (with a current enrollment of 7,000), the newly commissioned Lennard High School and the new middle school. Then they enjoy lunch with a few of Ruskin’s movers and shakers, all on his own dime. Why? “We’re an ideal place for economic development dollars,” he said. “We’re changing from a farming to a bedroom community, and I want politicians to know where we are, and how close we are to Tampa. I want them to know just how remarkable we are here in Ruskin.”

After surviving a brutal attack at the Bloomingdale Library more than seven years ago, Queena’s courage and her family’s devotion to the healing process have galvanized a community around her recovery. Queena’s recovery has been remarkable, and her medical team is hopeful she’ll once again speak. Until then, she receives the best care and support from a community that shares in her victories and delights in her growing smile.
Vickie Tawney
After raising nearly $7,000 last year for her chosen charity, Hooked on Hope, Vickie earned the title Honorary Mayor of SouthShore, a title she treasures. The long-time owner of Victoria’s 5th Avenue Salon, Vickie has always been an integral part of the community she loves. “It’s the people,” she stressed. “Everyone is friendly and incredibly supportive. I’ve been able to double the size of my business in the 23 years I’ve been here; I couldn’t have done it without the support of the people and the business community.” As honorary mayor, she presides over area ribbon-cuttings and volunteers at dozens of festivals and events in SouthShore. Not one to toot her own horn, Vickie admits she enjoys the “notoriety” of being the honorary mayor. “It’s a remarkable community,” she said. “And a real honor to be part of it.”

A violent attack by her estranged husband six years ago left Audrey with burns over 80% of her body, and a life in shambles. Since, the Apollo Beach mother of two has rebuilt her life, and nurtured a commitment to give back to the community that offered support and encouragement in her darkest hours. Audrey recently completed her AA degree and will attend USF in January to pursue a degree in the business of non-profits “My vision is to create an agency that offers long-term support to every family that comes to us for help. To be there for them, act as their life coach, and help them get on solid ground.” she said. Though a nationally known speaker, and a board member with “Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence,” Audrey’s vision is local. “The support I received from the community has truly inspired my path,” she said. “To be able to give back is not only a calling, it is an absolute honor.”

John, who is co-owner of Hydro Harvest Farms in Ruskin, spends hours sitting in for Santa, poses for photos and listens to the heartfelt wishes of children (and a few older adults) with hope in their heart. “It’s all about spreading the joy of the season,” he said.

Fred & Polly Rothenbush It’s hard to contain the enthusiasm of these two longtime residents of Ruskin. Not that you would want to, considering all they do for the community. Fred, an accomplished painter, and Polly, a retired schoolteacher, manage to stay busy helping those who need help. “We’ll do anything for kids. Soldiers, individuals, special groups, especially kids’ groups. It’s all about giving back,” Fred said. An oil painter of some renown, John gives away half the revenue from signed prints of his paintings. Those contributions, and the time Polly spends volunteering with the schools, and echoes the sentiments of others: “It’s the people that make SouthShore so remarkable. “They don’t have to know you to help you,” he said. “That’s pretty special.”

Listening to Steve Alvarez talk about his dad, Jose, is to hear the depth of love, affection and profound admiration of a son for his father. “He honestly, genuinely cared about people, about everyone. His family, of course, but he always thought about the needs of his clients, even before his own needs.” Steve said. In addition to the CPA firm, Jose coached two soccer teams, was president of the soccer league and still found time to attend his sons’ games. “He was great!” Steve said. “One season, a coach quit and my dad took over. Somehow, he managed to get that group of misfits to win the Brandon Cup! It was remarkable. He was remarkable.” Jose also took an active role in the business community serving on the board of the Apollo Beach chamber of commerce.

In memory of Both Anne Madden and Jose Alvarez relentlessly shared their amazing gifts with the community, and we’re the better for it. They left us too soon, but their legacy will remain.
David Madden didn’t hesitate a minute. “Anne was remarkable in how giving she was of herself to others and causes. She was involved in a lot of different charities over the years, and served on several boards of directors,” he said. “She wasn’t a flashy person, but one who enjoyed working behind the scenes,” related her husband of nearly 29 years. “It was always about others.” For 15 years, Anne owned a frame shop in Ruskin. After it closed, she devoted more of her time to volunteer work, seeking something that challenged her emotionally, religiously, and intellectually. “She found that in the Good Samaritan Mission in Wimauma.” By the time she passed away, David said, she had become their voice.

Lois Kindle
As a community journalist for nearly 20 years, Lois has made it her mission to cover the area and get to know the area and the people of SouthShore. “This is one of the few places left where you can still make a deal with a handshake,” she said. “People here are wonderful. They’re the salt of the earth.” A current resident of Sun City Center, Kindle covers the events and organizations that make up the spirit of SouthShore. She credits the generous spirit and caring nature of the people that makes the area so very special. “When the Chamber, or any organization, puts a call out to the community for help – whether it’s for a family that’s lost their home from a fire, or a child that needs a hospital stay – this community turns out in droves. The spirit of giving here is astonishing,” she said.
