Messages From The Management

Message FromThe General Manager

Dear Heritage Pines Residents and Owners,

There is an old saying “If you don't know where you've been you wont know where you are going” Since my last article I have been reviewing the financial history of Heritage Pines with an eye toward our future.

We are in budget season, and your Heritage Pines Staff is preparing for 2013, they have been meeting with vendors confirming future contracts and services. As an example I recently met with our Controlled Access / Security provider, Insurance and we have met Community Association - Property Management Software that will “marry” our existing accounting software that will assist us all in communicating with you and improve our productivity.

Part of the process included our food and beverage survey the results of which will be posted on our web site for all to see and will have an impact on our planning process.

In addition I have met with our staff, established S.M.A.R.T. Goals with them and for me to further enhance our service to you. One of our goals is to improve resolution turnaround time, as of this writing we have had 287 resolution requests in 2012 with 17 unresolved.

Of course there are special projects. Gary Wind and I have been meeting with contractors for our upcoming roads projects and Paul Chefero and I have had meetings with three (3) qualified commercial kitchen designers as we plan the club kitchen renovation and improvement (In 2013), a project that is sorely needed for our club and community.

You might recall in my last article that I said I was working on communications and transparency in concert with the Heritage Pines Board of Directors. In keeping with that goal, I attended my first Village Council meeting on August 9, 2012 for Q&A along with Gary Wind and Mark Stanish. Also in keeping with that goal have been attending and working with our Communications Committee as we continue to look forward to the future.

DaveDavid H. Coe, CMCA, AMS, PCAMGeneral Manager/COO

Architectural Control CommitteeThe property inspections have been completed and most of the twenty-one day (21) follow-ups. We try to do the inspections twice a year, one in March when all the residents are still here and one in November. The decision to do the inspections in July and August was not a good choice for the obvious reasons. The committee apologizes to the residents who were away for the summer or longer, if we caused any unnecessary anxiety.

The new Porter/Pittsburgh Color Paint Book was approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting in July. The Color Paint Book is at the front desk now. As we have said in the past, you can use paint from other companies, just match their color chips to the Porter Paint Color Book.

The vinyl house numbers for your mail post will only be st rdsold a half hour before our meetings on the 1 and 3

Thursday of the month. We meet in the conference room at 4:00 p.m. Please have the correct change.

The committee has only discussed the possibility of having one mail post color in Heritage Pines. We understand that before a decision is to be made, we need to have the input from the residents. If the color were to change from your village color we would NOT expect you to change to the new color until the next time you paint it. Mary Gruber

To avoid confusion, please make note of the following:

Our Jonas Accounting Software tracks your monthly HOA fees separately from your club charges.

Please remember not to combine these fees on the same check when paying. If for any reason you are making a partial payment on either account, please reference “HOA or Club Charge” in the memo section of the check. Please make sure you include for HPCA account number on all payments.

And finally, please make sure you always have your Club Charge Card when making any charges/purchases at the Clubhouse.

From the HPCA Accounting Dept

Brian & Diane Beaver, of Country Green Village

B. Alton Blackwelder, of Pine Meadow Village

Kathy Morgan, of Scenic Pines Village

Reminder to New Residents: Please make sure you contact Dineen Robinson at the Clubhouse to schedule your new homeowners orientation. This meeting will provide you with very important information regarding the community, rules & regulations, and the Clubhouse.

Welcome New Residents!

At their August 7, 2012 meeting the Heritage Pines CDD Board approved the purchase of the 5.4 acre parcel in front of Heritage Pines and to the east of the main gate. The ontract was signed by the CDD and the seller is expected to sign the contract on August 13, 2012. Closing on the property is expected between the end of September and October 15th.

Prior to closing there will be a survey, an environmental study and an appraisal as required by the mortgage holder and CDD regulations. Financing of 100% of the $375,000.00 purchase price will be made by Patriot Bank of Trinity. The loan committee of Trinity Bank has approved the transaction and formal documents will be prepared by August 15, 2012.

The CDD vision for the use of the property is to maintain the natural front border of the development as a pleasant invitation to residents, visitors and home buyers. Another vision for the future would be a nature park with walking trails and rest areas to further enhance our Audubon Certified Community. Such features will have a positive impact on home values. If requested, the property will be offered to the Homeowner's Association as use for additional recreation activities.

The purchase of the property will result in an annual assessment increase from the current level of $350.00 to $400.00. The increase of $50.00 per year per home will last for five years from 2012 to 2017. During the previous three years the annual assessment was reduced from $407.00 to $350.00.

Gazebo Park Update

As you may have noticed, Gazebo Park has acquired a new group of residents to care for the park, and we are receiving much help from Valley Crest. The goal of this group is to maintain the trees, shrubs, and plants that already reside in the park. With regular pruning, a little fertilizing, and some watering, we hope to keep all of our Florida Friendly plants in good health for many years to come. The residents helping to care for the park are Linda Russell, Susanne

Castelli, John Cooper, Laurie Rhodes, Gail Pearsall, Jean Knoesen and Lauren Tracey. Each of us is really enjoying this opportunity to dig in the dirt. A new insert for the sign on Scenic View will be installed shortly with photos, names, and locations of many of our current plants. Many thanks to the following residents for their contributions to this project: Paula Elliott, Nancy Landers, Leon Silberman, Rich Cunha, Lauren Tracey, and Gail Pearsall. We hope you will stop by Gazebo Park often to see what is in bloom!

The late summer and fall months are typically busy ones for the Finance Committee.

At our July meeting, Beth Barnetson, who served as chair of the general manager selection committee, introduced new General Manager Dave Coe, who said that he was delighted to assume his position at Heritage Pines. He stated that he sees the relationship between the Finance Committee and management as a partnership. He stressed the need for a long-range plan and intends to be proactive in developing a 3-5 year plan.

Dr. Ronny Krusch, who conducted a review of the golf course and common grounds equipment lease, explained that after further review and a meeting with Dave Coe and Tommy Land of Valley Crest, it was decided that there was no pressing need to prematurely terminate our current equipment lease and lease new 2012 equipment prior to the end of the year. The new lease of 2012 equipment had been considered in order to avoid expected price increases of 15-20% for new 2013 equipment which would be subject to the new Tier Four diesel emissions regulations which begins in January 2013.

Since our current lease does not expire until October 2013, and the equipment has been relatively maintenance free, we could not guarantee any clear financial advantage from early lease termination.

During the meeting, the following committee members were approved for subcommittee assignments:

Fiscal Review and Inventory Subcommittee: Bill Stocking, Beth Barnetson, Bonnie Walsh, Russ Stefany.

Golf Refund Subcommittee: Bonnie Walsh, Ronny Krusch, Bill Stocking (Alternates: Russ Stefany, Gordon McLaughlin)

New Revenue Sources Ad Hoc Subcommittee: Bill Stocking, Gene Estensen, Russ Stefany, Jim Kelley, Francine Raggi-Collins.

As I mentioned earlier this year, the committee reviews the association's monthly financials at each meeting. However, earlier this year, the committee decided to take a closer look at the financials of various departments. At our July meeting, the committee completed its review of all departments this year when Tommy Land and Facilities Manager Gary Wind responded to questions concerning the golf course and common grounds maintenance.

The committee is grateful to all the staff department heads and others who participated in this review process. HPCA is privileged to have such outstanding department heads, contractors and employees.

At the July meeting, the committee also:

• Heard a report from CDD Supervisor Gil Herr about the proposed purchase of Lennar property outside the front gate.

• Heard a report from Gary Wind concerning unbudgeted capital funds that would be requested for Clubhouse renovation during 2012.

• Approved a revised charter that went to the Board of Directors for final approval.

• Discussed a request from the Board of Directors that the committee expand current payment policy to address and include payments to residents to include things such as reimbursement for out of pocket expenses, gift certificates for services rendered, and payment for services rendered. This was referred to the Fiscal Review and Inventory Subcommittee.

• The draft 2013 budget will be submitted to the committee in early September. Questions and comments will be solicited from the committee in advance and addressed at the committee's regular Sept. 18 meeting. One or two committee members will be assigned to review specific sections of the budget. This should help ensure a more rigorous review of the budget.

• Residents are welcome to attend the Sept. 18 meeting at 9 a.m. in the Craft Room.

Finance Committee News

Valleycrest NewsGolf Course and Common Grounds Operations

The golf course is growing in quite well from our difficult transition. All greens have knitted in and the collars at the putting green and holes 4,5,6,7,8,11,12,13,15 have had sod replaced. The fairways at 8, 9, 10 and 13 are growing in

th thnicely also. Areas on the 11 and 14 fairways had sod replaced. The two greenside bunkers at holes 13 and 15 were reworked as to promote runoff from eroding of the bunkers totally during the rainy season. This has been a major problem during this time. We have spent numerous hours in repairs. Our final core aerification of the year will

thtake place on Sept 7 . The Tee renovation is on schedule for the first of the month and we know many of you are excited for its completion.

We will start at hole 3 and work forward and finish on the driving range. The Tee's at #3, 5, 11, 17, red and green tees at 18 and the driving range are in this project.

This year we have had our fare share of rains that we should all be thankful for. However there have been some drawbacks to a good number of our dry retentions. Many have standing water. This has presented a problem in our mowing schedule and the areas that can be mowed. We appreciate your patience during this time. Please be aware our friends from the wild are on the move to higher ground and you may find unwanted critters in areas that we're not accustomed to.

September is our scheduled fertilization of all common grounds and we will have a change out of color at the end of September. Wishing all a safe and happy Labor Day!

Thank you, Tommy Land, VCGCS

A great time was had by all on Friday, August 19th at Musical Jeopardy. The new categories that were added were Motown - Girls, Motown - Boys, and Whatever! Look for new categories at every game. It was suggested that we have some 40's music, so you never know... There were a lot of points scored and three tables were neck and neck throughout the whole evening, but in the end the correct Final Jeopardy answer won the prize!

As a result of many residents being away for Labor Day, the Lifestyle Committee meeting will be on Tuesday, September 11th at 1:30 p.m. and we welcome your attendance and suggestions.

Exceptionally Smooth. Longboard Island Lager is a smooth refreshing lager fermented and aged for five weeks at cold temperatures to yield its exceptionally smooth flavor. A delicate, slightly spicy hop aroma

complements the malty body of this beer.

Suggested Food Pairings: Longboard Island Lager typically pairs well with lighter fare but has enough flavor and body to stand up to some heartier foods too. Try some with herb chicken on mixed greens, garlic twists, Greek pizza.

According to estimates, approximately 150 people are diagnosed with cancer every hour, of every day, in the United States. That equates to nearly 1.4 million Americans each year. With the chartable fundraising efforts such as this one, medical breakthroughs are happening every day. With every step we take, and every dollar we raise, we inch closer to our ultimate goal... a cure.

With such an alarmingly high number – take a moment to think just how many lives this disease has touched. How many mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, co-workers, friends, and spouses. We are walking to show the 1.4 million that they are not alone, that we are by their side, every step of the way.

Comments From The Course

Three decades of playing in pro-ams has convinced me that the No. 1 fault among amateurs is not in the setup or swing -- it's club selection. To put it bluntly, everyone underclubs. Nine out of ten golfers leave their approach shots short of the green,

where most of the fiercest perils lurk.

Hit the Right Club

The vast majority of amateurs leave their approaches short, so it's important to know the average distance you hit each club.

The reason, I think, is that we're all victims of our best shots. If on one day you hit the 5-iron 185 yards, you tend to think that 185 is your 5-iron distance. But it's not; that's only the distance of your best effort with a 5-iron. Your actual distance may be closer to 165. Heck, I've hit 5-irons 250 yards on occasion, but when I'm 250 yards from a green, I normally select a 3-wood.

The only way to get an accurate idea of your distance with each club is to take an hour or so of practice time and learn the truth. Get a pencil and a sheet of paper, list the clubs in your bag down one column, and take that sheet with you off to a serious practice session. Go to a practice range or a large, flat, open area of any kind at a time when no one else is there, so you'll be able to hit shots and then pace them off. Before you go, determine the length of your average "pace" by stepping off 10 paces, measuring that distance, and then dividing it by 10. For most men, a normal pace is almost exactly a yard, but yours may be shorter or longer. If it is,

I'd suggest that for the purpose of stepping off your shots, you alter your stride so that it approximates a yard.

Also, be sure to do this little experiment under controlled conditions. First, you'll need a dry, windless day. Secondly, you'll need to hit your shots from a surface that closely approximates the fairways from which you normally play your approaches. Hardpan, driving-range mats or lush grass won't work. Third, you'll want to be sure that your landing area is flat.

Don't worry if it's a field of long grass -- that's better than a hard-baked area -- because what you want to measure is the carrying distance of your shots, not the carry-and-roll distance. (After all, your ball can roll 10 yards or 50 depending upon conditions.) If your practice shots hit and sit in the thick grass, that's perfect. Otherwise, you should deduct the roll yardage from whatever total distance the ball travels.

Once you've warmed up, start with the sand wedge and hit at least a dozen balls with it. Two or three dozen would be better. Then pace them off. Disregard the ridiculously fat shots and skulled shots, but include all the others, and then work out the average distance those balls flew. Write that number next to the sand-wedge line on your sheet of paper and imprint it on your mind. This, whether you like it or not, is your distance for the sand wedge.

Walk back to the tee and go through the same procedure for the pitching wedge, the 9-iron, the 8-iron, and all the rest of your clubs. This will take an hour or so, but believe me, it will be the best practice time you'll ever spend. And at the end of it you'll have some very valuable numbers.

Eva Taveau's story began in Clearwater, Florida, where she was born at Morton Plant Hospital, the eldest of three children born to Laurence and Dorbre McMullen. Her grandparents, Henry and Eva McMullen, owned 25 acres of

citrus groves located on Old Tampa Bay just off of US 19 in Clearwater. Eva spent many summers visiting them, eating lots of oranges, grapefruits, and avocados, as well as learning the story and the history of the McMullen family. The McMullen family has a rich history in the Tampa Bay area. Her great, great grandfather was the commander of the Confederate forces in Florida during the Civil War. McMullen-Booth Parkway, named in honor of him is a major thoroughfare in the Clearwater area today.

Eva's growing up years were spent traveling around the country, as her father was a career Air Force officer. She spent time in Mississippi, South Dakota, Utah, California, Maryland, Florida, and in 1963, the family was sent to

thWhiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, where she started 8 grade and was fortunate enough to stay there, through her senior year of high school. During that time, she met the “handsome and debonair” quarterback of the high school football team, Scott Taveau. Following high school graduation, Eva attended college and graduated with a BA degree in Elementary Education. While dating in college, Scott took Eva to the university golf course practice range to try out golf. Eva says, “all I can remember is whacking at this hard little white ball and becoming SOOOOOO frustrated that I wanted to never see a golf ball again!!”

Eva and Scott married in 1971, and then began their married life. First, Scott's service time in the Army, then as educators for 30+ years in the state of Missouri. Eva earned a Masters degree in 1978, coincidentally the same year that their first son Rockney was born. In 1981, son Brett arrived, and as career opportunities arose, the family moved 6 times within the state of Missouri.

During Eva's 30 years as an elementary educator, she taught grades 2-8...loving her job, knowing that no two days are ever the same, especially working with children.

th thMost of her years were teaching 4 and 5 graders….her favorite…and as she says, “there is nothing more rewarding than knowing that you, as a teacher, have made a difference in a child's life, even if it is something as simple as adding single digits without using fingers and toes!”

Rock and Brett became very involved in sports, including golf. Eva decided she didn't want to be left out and would give “that hard little white ball” another opportunity to show “its softer side”…and of course, it did……and her passion for golf began. She started playing golf in Hannibal, Missouri, where she enjoyed playing “family” golf with Scott and the boys on Sunday afternoons. Golf became a family activity, with both boys excelling in golf, as they both played on the high school golf team. The

Taveau family enjoyed many wonderful summer golf vacations, playing courses in all parts of the country, even in Hawaii.

In 1996, Eva became more involved in golf during the summer months, playing with the “Niners” at Hannibal Country Club. Her best teacher, Scott, was very patient and understanding, as were the many ladies that helped her

stalong the way. In 1998, Eva won 1 place in B Flight of the LGA Championship, winning her first “gold medal”, a dream come true. Since then, she has been “hooked” on the game and has enjoyed the many challenges of golf and wonderful friendships that have developed along the way.

Eva and Scott feel very blessed to be living in Heritage Pines, which they describe as “a very enjoyable, caring, and energetic community”. Eva has been a member of HPLGA since 2007, where spending time golfing and socializing with friends is always a good time! In addition to golf, she enjoys her pool, traveling, reading, cooking, wine shopping (and tasting!), and precious time with friends and family. Eva and Scott travel to Tennessee as often as possible to spend time with their two sons…Son Rock, wife Jessica, and grandson Daniel (2 ½ years old), live in Memphis, and son Brett, wife Marisa, and soon-to-be granddaughter (coming in October) live in Nashville. “We love being Nana and Granddad…and spoiling those little ones as much as we can!”

What Is The Rule ????

I HIT A BALL THAT CAME TO REST AGAINST A RAKE. If I move the rake the ball will move. Do I play the ball where it came to rest, or do I have to play it from where it originally was?

Just abide by Rule 24-1 and remove the rake. IF the ball moves as a result, replace it on the spot where it was last at rest and continue to play without a penalty.

Oh Brother

In 56 years of record-keeping we're still discovering that kids do the darndest things. When brothers Davis and Hanks Massey, ages 9 and 11 aced the 103 yd third at the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, they became the youngest siblings to ace the same hole playing in the same group on a regulation-length course. The odds of two players with “average” talent making a hole-in-one on the same hole in the same group are 17-million-to-1.

Congratulations go this month to one of our Ladies: Denise McKay got a Hole-in-One #12 on July 31, 2012.

The month of August continued to bring rain showers, but we still did get some nice days of golf in. Backing up a

thmonth we originally had scheduled a Pool Party for the 10 thof July. It got rained out and rescheduled for July 17 . We

played golf that day, but as Pat Straka said, “The rain gods were not happy with us” They arrived at 3:00 p.m. and thus the Pool Party became an indoor Pool Party in the Pac Room. A great big THANKS to Chuck Kirst, Nancy Beckwith's friend, who was so kind in being our DJ. We played beach ball volleyball, danced to music and overall had a great time, minus the pool.

School Supplies For Mary Giella

A great big thank you to all of Heritage Pines for their support in our collection of school supplies for our charity school. We had a wonderful response and were able to provide many of the supplies they needed for their opening

thon August 20 .

Our first event with our “adopted school”, Shady Hills Elementary, was a huge success! The MGA delivered 100 backpacks full of grade level appropriate school supplies just prior to the start of school in mid August. The school principal and staff were “ecstatic” and praised the MGA. The school children were “overwhelmed” with their gift of school supplies and the entire school family is extremely grateful to the MGA!!! WAY TO GO, GUYS!!!

Golf Course Renovation

Course renovation is now underway. There will be renovation work on the tee boxes on holes 3, 5, 11, and 17 to laser level and expand the tee box area. The project is expected to last six weeks. There will be temporary tees on those holes. Also, there will be extensive renovation done to the driving range. This project included expanding the current range area and construction of new concrete pads for brand new mats.

Inter-Club Play

Our first inter-club play event will be with Seven Springs Country Club. We will visit their club on Friday, November 2. It will be an 8:00 a.m. shot gun start and lunch will be provided following play. Our course will be closed that day for overseeding.

Reminders

The new collars around some greens will continue to be played as lift, clean, and place of the new sod until further notice.

Nearly all of the right side of #11 is being played as “casual water” until further notice. Please be very careful around the lower fairway, as it is still a very wet area.

The condition of our golf course has greatly improved , and the results of hard work of our course superintendent and maintenance staff is very evident. We appreciate Valley Crest for bringing in the “A team” and keeping us well informed about the problems that we were facing and the solutions. Let's support our maintenance team as they continue to bring our course back into pristine condition.

Hole-In-One

Congratulations to Bob Hunter who had a Hole-In-One on #6 from the green tees and it played at 148 yards!

In Memoriam

We were saddened by the news of the passing of two of our MGA members this past month. We will miss our companions and fellow golfers, Bill Curtain and Morris Hoyt.

Introducing Tom HooperIn October of 2010, eleven years after he retired, Tom

Hooper came full circle, a “Silver Circle” award honoree. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recognized him for his outstanding 35 year- career, his many accomplishments, and his significant contributions to local television broadcasting. Tom's voice has been described as “golden” by his employers, co-workers, and viewers alike. One pundit wrote, “His is the voice that should be bronzed and put in the Broadcast Hall of Fame.”

Tom started working at WITI-TV in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1964. The road to that beginning is both eventful and auspicious. Tom Hooper was born in Nashville, Tennessee on August 22, 1932. He graduated from Nashville East High in 1950 and then attended Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky. Tom graduated from Murray in 1954 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. During his college years, Tom began to hone his broadcasting skills by working in radio. He worked at a radio station in Mayfield, KY, doing commercials and news broadcasts on the Early Morning Show. He caught a bus at 5:00 a.m. to make the 30 mile trip to the station and then had to “hitchhike” back to school to attend classes. “I didn't have a car until 1954!”

During his summers, while attending college, Tom returned home to Nashville where he worked 5 days a week as a substitute disc jocky doing news and commercials for the “Mega-Watt” country music station WSM. In those days, WSM was doing “live” radio music broadcasts and Tom had the experience of introducing country music performers that later in life became country music legends. As part of the WSM family, he had the honor of introducing Red Folly, Roy Acuff, Chet Atkins, Hank Williams, and Marty Robbins, just to name a few. “It was fun! They were nice people and being part of that was pretty special!”

One exceptional event that occurred one day was when Marty Robbins asked Tom to come into the music library at WSM. He said, “Listen to this guy… I think he is going to be really good!” Well, “that guy” was pretty good……his name was Elvis Presley!

Upon graduation from Murray State, Tom was drafted into the U.S. Army. But, first things first…a wedding on August

th1, 1954 to his wife, Peggy. They celebrated their 58 wedding anniversary this past month.

Tom completed his basic training at Fort Smith, Arkansas and AIT at Fort Knox, KY. He was then stationed in Germany. As an accomplished drummer in high school and college, he auditioned for the regimental band and of course was chosen. He served in the band until he applied for a transfer into special services, where he became part of a team that worked to provide entertainment and shows for service men stationed throughout Germany. “That was a great time, and since Peggy had joined me by then, she traveled with me on some of the trips”.


25

After being honorably discharged from the Army in 1956, Tom was accepted at Northwestern University in Chicago where he completed the master's program in communication in 1958. He then went to work for a small radio station in Galesburg, Illinois. He worked there only three months. A TV station manager from Madison, who had heard that “golden voice”, offered him a job. Tom worked for WKOW TV and Radio in Madison from 1958 to 1964. He worked as a day-time disc jockey and did the 6:00 p.m. newscast. He was soon promoted to the “prime spot” 10 o'clock news. As fate would have it, the station manager from WITI TV in Milwaukee was attending a meeting in Madison and heard Tom on the 10 o'clock news broadcast. He offered the “golden voice” a job and rest is history, 35 years with WITI TV Milwaukee!

In 1972, Tom began what was, at the time, a unique and innovative consumer advocacy program to help solve problems for viewers. “Contact 6”, as the program was named, “took off like wildfire, and we received 1500 letters a month from viewers with problems.” This type of program was one of the first of its kind in the country and the interaction with viewers was unprecedented and was way ahead of its time. “Contact 6” was a huge success and vaulted Tom Hooper to the position of being the most recognized TV personality in Milwaukee. The legacy of Tom Hooper and “Contact 6” was not only helping consumers with basic problems, but Tom was directly responsible for getting state laws passed that helped abused children, people with disabilities, and improving safety for children on school buses. Tom modestly says “none of this was me. It was television. It is a power of the tool. If you use it wisely and fairly, you get results.”

Besides being the star of “Contact 6” and WITI-TV, Tom also hosted the Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy for 25 years. He became close friends with Jerry Lewis and coaxed Jerry into doing a Pro-Am golf charity event each year during the PGA Greater Milwaukee Open. The event raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity and was among favorite Milwaukee events. In recognition of Tom's distinguished service, he was twice recognized by declarations of “Tom Hooper Day” in Milwaukee, once by the mayor of Milwaukee in 1991, and once by the Milwaukee County Executive in 1999.

Tom and Peggy have two sons, Chip, who lives in Dallas and teaches high school ; and Jay, who lives in Paducah, KY and works for a pharmaceutical company. Tom and Peggy have one granddaughter and two grandsons. Tom retired in 1999 and “the plan was always to move to Florida.” Tom and Peggy chose Heritage Pines and moved here in 2002. Tom still enjoys golf, playing two or three times a week. He works out at the fitness center on the days he doesn't play golf. He is also an avid reader.

Full circle indeed, a fitting retirement for the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences “Silver Circle” award winner ……and the man with the “golden voice.”

Tai Chi ClassTai Chi Beginner – Thursday at 8:30 a.m. in Magnolia Room

Advanced – Thursday at 9:30 a.m. in Magnolia Rm.

Qigong (Chee Kung) – Saturday at 9:00 a.m. in Magnolia Rm.

This long hot summer will soon be over and the “Snow Birds” will be soon begin to make their way back for another fun year. If last year was any indication of the budding popularity of Tai Chi here at Heritage Pines, then our weekly classes will soon outgrow the Magnolia Room like last fall. For the summer months we have had both the beginner class and the advanced class on Thursday morning. With the arrival of the snow birds and the renewed interest in indoor activities that the cooler weather brings, we may need to go back to Tuesday mornings at 8 o'clock in the PAC for our beginner class.

I have been very encouraged by the turnout of residents that have been coming to my classes throughout the summer. It seems that hardly a week goes by that someone new doesn't come by to “give it a try”. I welcome all that are interested – stop in and see what an alternative to regular exercise can do for you. Tai Chi is not everyone's cup of tea, but it can be a great addition to a regular aerobics type exercise program, and be the answer for some that can no longer do that hard workout, but still know they need to keep moving.

Tai Chi and Qigong are gentle exercises that emphasize relaxation of the body and mind so that the “Chi” energy can flow evenly and unimpeded to promote a general feeling of serenity.

Tai Chi & Qigong:

1. Reduces stress

2. Improves balance

3. Helps arthritis

4. Lowers blood pressure

5. Improves sleep

6. Strengthens muscles

7. Improves the circulatory system

8. Improves flexibility

Tai Chi is fun, and it makes you feel good, along with the myriad health benefits it bestows, but it can also be challenging in some of its moves. As I tell my students, do only what you can do physically, but mentally envision yourself going all the way. If you do that, all of Tai Chi's benefits will be yours.

We welcome all new students to the beginner class on Thursday and the Qigong class on Saturday morning.

Heritage Pines Tennis AssociationHPTA Summer activities for August consisted of open tennis and individually scheduled non-league play. There were no tournaments scheduled in August. The next tournament will be held in the November time frame with more details made available as the date approaches.

Men's and Women's open tennis opportunities continued through August, facilitated by Coordinator Nick Marino, men and Toni Arevalo, women. These are scheduled at 8 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for men; 8 a.m. Monday and Wednesday for women; and at 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays for women. Nick reports that on average, two (2) courts are in use for each of the men's sessions. Toni reports the same court usage for women's open sessions.

For those members wishing to improve their game, there is a ball machine available. The only requirement for use of the ball machine is completion of a required training session which lasts about 30 minutes. To schedule this training you can contact any member of the HPTA Board. Contact information for those members is posted on the HPTA bulletin board.

Bob Youngblood reports that tennis court maintenance activities continued in August with the focus on leveling of the court edges; removal on excess inside the courts; and leveling of the court boundary lines. The “balls rolling under the fence” issue has been corrected with the installation of wire strands.

The tennis court schedule can be found on the bulletin board near the tennis courts or at the front desk of the HP Clubhouse. Please check the schedule and reserve your court with the front desk for all non-scheduled activity to avoid any conflict.

If you are not a member but are considering joining the H.P.T.A, please contact one of the board members. A list of those members and current activity is also on the bulletin board. Come out and join us to improve your skills or just get some good exercise with players of similar interest.

Heritage Pines Book Club

We invite all Heritage Pines couples/singles to attend our open

meeting on September 19th in the Pac room at 11 a.m., followed by lunch. A full lunch buffet will be available for purchase. Come see what we're all about. We welcome your new ideas and questions. You'll recognize the existing ROMEO members by our club hats, shirts and smiles. COME JOIN US and help support our community. Please RSVP to Al Sacher, 862-0123 or Kevin McCrystal, 868-5627.

WHAT IS A ROMEO?

A ROMEO CLUB is a loosely organized social group consisting of retired old men. There are clubs all over country and a few internationally whose members meet monthly for breakfast.

However the Heritage Pines Romeo Club has taken a different approach. This collection of gentlemen adopted the motto 'family, friends, fun, food' and regularly organizes events to include spouses and friends. These diversified activities are open to all members for their pleasure. They include, super bowl parties, an annual picnic, trips to Tampa Bay Downs, baseball games, bowling and golf outings, bocce tournaments, interclub softball games, lunch and dinner cruises, shows and much more.

We have also adopted the Florida Blood Services as our charity of record and have contributed to this worthy cause every year. All profits from our annual TURKEY TROT DINNER DANCE go to this worthy organization.

A LUNCHEONINVITATION

To All Residents

Seems like we just said "summer will be here soon!"; yet, in just a blink of the eye, we will be ready to embrace autumn. Though we've got to say goodbye to the summer, just thinking of cool breezes and sitting on the lanai, allowing my imagination to run away to become a character in one of the exciting books selected for this year's Book Club is a grand and inviting thought. (Hmm! Right now the thought of cool breezes alone is a grand and inviting thought.) We hope you have read The Guernsey Island Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows to be presented by Janet Bachrycz at our first scheduled get-together of the new Book Club season on Wednesday, Sept. 26th, at 10:30 a.m. If the Magnolia Room is under renovation, we will let you know where the meeting is scheduled in the Clubhouse.

So, if you've already traveled to London and the Guernsey Island, get ready for your exciting adventure to China as you read The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck to be presented by Barbara Sachs on October 24th. There are lessons we all encounter at some point in our lives. Wang Lung and his family's journey through life serve as a passage we all can travel through and come away better people for having done it. His wife O-lan represents such great strength. Her life went the way of so many women's lives of her era and culture--unfulfilled and short-changed. The reader can feel the confusion, guilt, and stubbornness of Wang, O-lan's husband. These are brilliantly crafted characters. This book transcends space and time. Over 30 years after her death, Pearl S. Buck's legacy is still changing readers for the better with good storytelling.

Please join us on the fourth Wednesday of each month and meet a dynamic group of women. Our members are open and welcoming, and you are under no obligation to come each month. If you have any books that you would like to nominate for the 2013-2014 season, please send your n o m i n a t i o n t o P a t D e l a m e r a t [email protected] or Francine Raggi-Collins at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you soon! For additional information--please call Judith Chase at 727-862-4545 or Sylvia Hicks at 727-863-1408.

Tuesday Ladies Bible StudyWe did delay the study "The Law of Love" until September 11th and it will conclude on October 16th.

The Law of Love is based on Deuteronomy. There is a small viewing guide available to use during the lecture by Beth Moore on a DVD.

We invite all women in our community to join us for this inspirational lecture series. We are a non-denominational Bible study that meets every Tuesday in the Magnolia Room from 9:00 until 11:00 a.m. We would love to have you join us for fellowship and study.

Bunco GroupHard to believe that the snow birds will soon be back here and that the summer has gone already! But Bunco will be happening on Thurs. September 27 starting at 6:30 p.m. promptly. We meet in the Magnolia Room and please bring appropriate envelopes in order to play. We all have a lot of fun and it is a great way to meet new people. If you have any questions, please contact Marcia Gerber 819-1662; Betty Plante at 863-8462 or Camille Baldick at 727-862-9974.

On July 24th, a group of Club members and non-members took a cruise on the Starlight Majesty Motor Vessel out of Clearwater Beach Marina. A great luncheon menu was enjoyed in the air conditioned salon, even though the usual afternoon shower squall gave us a show. There is a story of one car load that just about missed making the departure due to a car break down, but with the very helpful generosity of the Kia Agency who afforded a driver and car to get Leon Silbermann & Kathy, Larry & Sue Pearlman to the dock with 3 minutes to spare. The cruise was a very enjoyable way to spend a summer afternoon with good friends, an enjoyable lunch aboard a comfortable, safe boat."

Look up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane. It's Super Club President Harry Koerner! Tak in g a b r eak a t t h e Metropolis, Illinois rest area on I-24. We all pray everything went well in Chicago.

Playing Doctor Coming This Fall

Your drama club is presenting Playing Doctor on Nov. 9, 10, and 11. As always, Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday matinee is at 2:00 p.m. Look for a ticket sale announcement around the beginning of October.

The cast for this show, directed by Dudley Saunderson, includes Tom DeBruyn, Marcia and Mel Letterer, Charles Mack, Paul Mattes, Janette Pauley, John Popovich, and Maggie Schell.

In this play, Robbie Brewster is a struggling writer trying to sell a novel to publishers. Trouble is his parents financed his college education thinking he was taking medical courses when he actually took up writing. For the first time since college they are coming for a visit and he must convince them he is a thriving docter. He elicits help from Jimmie, an equally struggling actor (for good reason; he is a bad actor) to come up with a bevy of patients. As the parents and "patients" appear on the scene and Rob tries to keep the parents in the dark, the hilarity begins and doesn't end until the end of the play. The biggest challenge for the cast is to avoid laughing themselves as they go through their scenes. You will really enjoy this comedy.

To change pace a little bit we will present our first mystery/thriller in the Spring. Night Watch will be an homage to Alfred Hitchcock and the movies of his style. This is a taut thriller in which our heroine sees the evidence of a murder in an adjoining apartment building and can't convince anyone about it. We will need five men and four women. A few of the smaller parts would be a good start for some of us wanting to give acting a try. Auditions will be around the end of November to give us plenty of time to study our parts.

Q: I have received email messages with attachments that I am unable to open. The sender tells me that they are Word documents and that I should purchase a copy of this program. The cheapest versions of Word costs over $100. Since I only want to view these files is there another option?

A: The sender likely has a Windows 7 computer and is using the included version of Microsoft Office to create the documents you are receiving. If all you want to do is view these files, I suggest that you download a free viewer from the Microsoft web site (www.microsoft.com). Enter WORD VIEWER in the search box at the top of the page, download and install the viewer. The next time you try to open a Word attachment the contents will view. You will be able to print the document but will not be able to edit or modify it.

Similar viewers are available for Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations from the Microsoft web site. Enter EXCEL VIEWER or POWERPOINT VIEWER in the search box as described above.

Q: My Windows Desktop is becoming cluttered with various Icons such as Adobe Acrobat, QuickTime etc. Is it safe to remove these Icons?

A: When installing a program for the first time or updating an existing one, an icon often is placed on the desktop. These icons are usually shortcuts to the actual program and are not needed; since the program is selected automatically when opening a document, video, picture, etc.

To determine if an icon is a shortcut, verify that there is a small Arrow in the lower left portion of the icon above the text description. A shortcut can be safely deleted from the desktop without affecting the functionality of the program. If you don't see an arrow the icon represents a Windows function (Recycle Bin, My Computer) or is a document you saved to your desktop.

To delete an icon: drag it to the Recycle Bin or Right Click on it and press D. The icon will be removed from the Desktop and will be in the Recycle Bin. Remember that icons are like any other file and can be easily recovered from the Recycle Bin.

We are very pleased to be able to help out Domestic Violence Shelter. Our summer food drive net a value of approximately 1,100 dollars in food. And close to that amount in children clothing and stuffed animals.

The shelter was so happy to receive these items. But we should also announce our newest and youngest Angel yet is the daughter of our F&B Manger Paul. His daughter wanted her precious collection of webkidz animals which have been a hot collectible item for the past few years to go to a worthy cause.

We thank such a young woman who has learned a life long lesson of giving. The shelter couldn't believe that as they were down to the last 3 animals to give to new children on entering the shelter this donation came.

Paul we are so proud of your daughter and I am happy you will let us share Our newest Angel with everyone.

As always we will continue to meet on Sundays starting after Labor Day to work on our Christmas giving of hats, scarves and gloves. Anyone is welcome to stop by at PM. We meet in the craft room but during construction period we will meet in the restaurant area. Happy Labor Day to all! Kathy Hendrickson, 862-2394

The Heritage Pines Cat SittersAll the volunteers and members of the Heritage Pines Cat Sitters group have expressed their sympathies to Terry Cubine for the loss of her beloved Oskar. Only a week after her return from Austria, Oskar suffered a severe stroke, and combined with chronic kidney problems, he had to be put down. Oskar, a Maine Coon cat, had been Terry's lap cat and companion for 14 years. This is the first time in 35 years she has been without a cat. Join us in our grief, for when one of us loses a cat, we all lose a cat.

You can subscribe to the Cat Sitters by calling Rusty Peacock (727) 378-5301, or Terry Cubine (727) 857-3090.

Q: I have spotted a stray cat in my yard lately. What should I do?

A: If you possibly can, take a close-up photo of the cat and email it to [email protected]. This will help us determine the cat's status, whether it has already been neutered, seen before in other Villages, etc. Next, call Kitty Coalition at 697-3788 to report the cat's presence. Seeing a cat one time does not warrant a call, as cats do explore. Actually, feeding a cat daily can help in trapping it, as we need them to be a regular visitor in an area. The most ideal house at which to trap a cat is where the cat has been fed. Therefore, if you know of a neighbor that is feeding the ferals, we prefer to contact them for setting up the trap. We probably won't succeed in trapping the cat if they are not hungry.

Q: Does the trap hurt them?

A: We use only a humane trap that does not hurt the cat. The door is propped open with some food in the very back. As the cat enters the trap to approach the food, it steps on a flap that springs the door. It happens so fast that the cat cannot escape. At worst, it startles him.

Q: Once I call, what happens next?

A: Trapping a feral cat is not an exact science. We fail plenty in trapping cats due to a variety of reasons. First, we are not permitted to place our trap in common areas. Therefore we must set up the trap on private property with the homeowner's consent and assistance. Second, we must time the trapping so that the trap can be monitored constantly. We do not put the trap out at night due to the danger to a trapped cat, by attacks from other animals and self-injury in trying to escape. Cats hunt at dawn and dusk;

they are not nocturnal. Other reasons for the timing is so we can transport the trapped cat immediately to the vet for surgery, and so the cat is not exposed to long periods of extreme heat or bad weather.

Q: How can I assist in trapping a cat on my property?

A: We will meet with you to determine a logical place to set up the trap. We position it so you can see if the trap door has been sprung from inside your home. All you need to do is monitor the trap and call us if a cat becomes trapped. Ideally, we like to trap the cat early in the morning and take it straight to the vet. If the trap is out all day with no success, we will either give up, or ask you to take the trap in before you go to bed and set it out again the next morning as early as possible. We will show you how to re-set the trap in case it is accidentally sprung during removal or repositioning.

Q: What happens after surgery?

A: The cat will be picked up from the vet by Kitty Coalition and will recover in a large cage overnight. Kittens are never put back out and are kept in a foster home

until they can be adopted. Adults that are tame can sometimes find a home. Feral adults are generally not adoptable, so they are put back out in HP, near where they were trapped. Hopefully, the homeowner that had been feeding him will continue to do so.

Q: Why do you want them to be fed?

A: Feral cats are not true wildlife. They are feral only because a previous pet was abandoned or

discarded. Feeding them prevents a slow, cruel starvation of these poor creatures. It also keeps the cat from wandering very far from the feeder's home, which spares other neighbors from seeing the cat in their garden.

December 17 Annual Holiday Luncheon and charity gift donation

January 21 or February 18 Looking forward to some new programs

this winter. Donna Hegstrom has agreed to tell us about great ways to keep our pets in good health through nutrition. We will also have programs to help us with aging pets and disease prevention.

Pet of the MonthI am a Lhasa Apso named Marley, or

"Deputy Dog" if you live in Golf View Estates. I live there with my Mom and Dad (Pat and Barry) who take me with them to check out the neighborhood

homes when their friends have gone away on vacation.

I was born ten years ago in Delaware and retired with Mom and Dad to Florida in 2005. I share a birth month with my Dad and was 10 (or about 70 in dog years) last year in November. I am still pretty spry for my age -- just ask one of my dog sitters!! I love to chase bikes and golf carts, especially if there is one of my dog friends on it -- I'm not really particular who it is. Dad & Mom frown on that as I have almost pulled their arms clear out of the socket on occasion. Guess I'm stronger than I look!!

I am happy as a clam when Mom takes me to see a lot of my friends in the back of Heritage Pines near the 18th hole.....Bow, Casey & Cody, Sadie, Gidget, Beauregard, Rocky, and Bella, just to name a few. We all get together in the early evening for "Doggy Clotch" -- we love to socialize -- a couple of well placed sniffs and we know that "all is well"!!

Heritage Pines is a great place for both people and dogs!! Mom tells me that there are over 500 dogs and I'm trying to meet them all on the street at one time or another. I also love company at home, people or dogs, so that I can show off all my favorite toys to everyone who will notice. I really like to see my best people friend, Frankie, who brings me a special treat every time that he comes over.

Mom and Dad travel a lot and I get to go along sometimes. I have the "place of honor" on my bed between the two front seats -- I love to travel with them and make sure that I am never a problem.

While I am very friendly and the "social bug" of the family, I hate storms. I am always under my parents feet , under the bed, or in the closet until the loud noises are gone!!

Otherwise, "life is good" in the Pines -- there is so much to do and more dog friends to see!

The new departure time is 9:30 a.m. from the Clubhouse with a departure time from the casino of 3:30 p.m. Let Linda Langevin know if you are interested. The cost is $22. and that ensures you of receiving a $5. voucher for food and $25. voucher for free play. The bus trip is great fun, and the food at the buffet is delicious. Some people even spend 2 hours EATING!!

The next meeting of the Pines Glen Social Club will be held in the PAC on September 20 at 11:00 a.m. The meeting will be followed by a luncheon at the club. Sue Wargo will be taking reservations until September 13. Her number is 378-7526. Hope to see you all there.

An unexpected visit occurred on August 13 at The Thai Bistro in New Port Richey. Mike Fasano, our State Representative, greeted Kathy Arno who was there with a group of Pines Glen women to celebrate her birthday. Kathy's birthday rememberances include a photo of Mike and Kathy.

The hearts of friends and neighbors in Pines Glen are saddened by the passing of Judy Steininger. Judy directed the holiday decorating of our entrance for many years. In addition, she handled the village bus trips to Hard Rock and other places. Deepest sympathy is extended to Anita, Anthony, and the rest of Judy's family and friends. Judy's involvement throughout Heritage Pines has caused many of her friends to inquire about planting a tree in her honor. Both Eileen Weber 869-8622 and Rosemary Corrao 862-6464 have offered to field calls and accept donations for this endeavor.

Community/Memorial Tree ProgramThe Community/Memorial Tree Program provides the opportunity for our residents to purchase a tree in memory of a loved one or friend. Trees may also be purchased to honor a person or because you wish to donate one in your name to beautify our community. Prices vary according to the type and size of tree. Residents may choose a general location for a donated tree which can be on the golf course, along the main boulevard or in other areas of the community. The final placement of each tree will be approved by our golf course superintendent, Tommy Land. Trees will be planted during the months of March/April and October/November. Please plan your purchase during the preceding months. The Community/Memorial Tree Program is headed by Linda O'Leary. Please contact Linda at 819-9207 for pricing information.

A map showing the location of all donated trees is located in the hallway by the Magnolia Room. Also, there is a book at the front desk of the Clubhouse listing information about the many trees planted throughout our community. Each page includes the names of the honoree(s), sponsor(s), tree location and type of tree. Residents may look through this book as desired.Sponsored by the Golf Advisory Committee
