“FOR THE RESIDENTS, BY THE RESIDENTS” Have a great month! August 2011

Angel of August

She’s regal in splendor,

this angel of love.

Cascading her flowers from heaven above.

To fall from the sky, to land with her peace

The angel of August

Her heart always seeks

The flowers you gather, that fall from the sky

Her gift of the spirit

That soars way up high.

A scent in the air, a petal that lands

In velvet she greets you

Wherever you stand

She touches your soul, with all of her love

Sprinkles her softness

With joy from above

Look up to the sky, to see heaven’s light

It’s the angel of August

That gives such delight

So far this summer season we have not been threatened by any hurricane’s etc. We are blessed to be living in such a protected area away from all the high waters and the coastal areas that do get hit the most. We have had our occasions of hard rain with thunder and lightning but nothing to speak of.

Please heed warnings you are given by the media on radio or tv.

Everyone who lives here in Florida knows that we are the lightning capital of the USA. So if you are in the pool area and it looks like rain or you hear the thunder, we are advising you to get out of the pool area immediately. Also, tell your visitors or family about this situation.

The pool area was struck by lightning just a few years back, so please be cautious.

Better to be safe then sorry!!!!!!!!

New Residents

None for the month of July!

Welcome to our Community of Southfork!

Bulletin Board and Signs and E-mail

Remember to always check the Bulletin Boards and the Wilds Road sign/Mail Boxes/Handouts for any

updates in case it did not make the newsletter.

In June we had updates on clubhouse restoration and we posted on the bulletin boards, all updates.

Our other source we will be using a lot is via email. When we need to get out to everyone on any

current issues or concerns (ie: water problems etc.), the email lists will be used. To date we have 77

email addresses and if you have a computer with internet and want to be on this list, please send your

email address to: [email protected]

Thanks, Phyllis

The old maid was asked why she never married. She said there is no need as I have three pets which

serve the same purpose……..The dog growls all morning, the parrot swears all afternoon, and the cat

comes home late at night……………

Southfork ClubHouse

Renovations are complete

As you all know, the clubhouse (our 2nd

home away from home) was closed from June 10 to July 3rd

for

the restoration of the clubhouse and it is amazing and like a new place. Every floor, in every room,

including all the closets (main room, library, card room, bathrooms and the kitchen) has a new tiled floor

and to top that off we have all new ceilings to go with it. Dream and wish lists do come true…………..

The outside of the building is not being neglected at all either and the trees are trimmed, new counter in

the cabana area and even the poolside bathrooms are clean etc. and more to come!

Monday, July 4th

at 10am there was a flag raising ceremony. The new managers purchased a new flag

for out in the front area and since this was the day of the grand viewing of the hall and also the 4th

, they

invited the entire community to come to the flag raising ceremony. What a way to start the 4th

, with a

bang so to speak!!!

This could not have happened the way it did without the sweat and hard work of our current managers,

John & Sandi. Over a period of 3 weeks on any given day, John was on a step ladder with the ceilings,

fixing and repairing etc. and this is something that will never be forgotten and we owe them a hearty

“THANK YOU” from the entire community!

The “snowbirds” will be in for a treat to see the work accomplished during the summer months!

Cady’s Zoo

There were 4 lost baby kittens that were brought to the Cady Zoo that were left on a door step on

Maverick Drive and a frantic call was made by a neighbor to Dot for someone to come and rescue them.

Of course Dot was not going to have them put down and brought them home and feed and took care of

them along with the rest of her animals.

Besides these kittens, ToTo (dog), Angel (cat), George (talking bird) and the baby parakeet were made

to share their home with them. Angel, the cat was in a snit and did not want to share and George

directed them while ToTo, baby sat them.

After many pleas and word of mouth the four kittens were finally adopted to gracious residents here in

the park. Now everything and everyone is back to normal again!!!!!!

FROM THE MANAGERS

A Bigger and Better Clubhouse?

By now you have all probably seen the “renovated” clubhouse. Not only were the floors replaced with tile

and the ceilings redone with acoustical tile but we also made the clubhouse bigger! Well, at least it seems

that way. In addition to the floors and ceilings, the were some less obvious improvements made; like

adding insulation to the card room and the library and re-carpeting the stage. And we made it by the fourth!

There are many people that helped make this happen; thanks to all. (We know, the bingo players missed 3

weeks of bingo, but isn’t the result worth it?)

Other Improvements

You may also have noticed some other improvements around the community. But in case you haven’t …

the island in the pool cabana has been refurbished with a new granite tile top and repainted doors; all the

palms have been trimmed; mulch is being spread around all the common areas; flowers have been planted

at the entrance signs … and there is more to come. Also, by the time you receive this, we hope to have a

new “sail” put up in the pool area for extra shade.

Oops - No Water

We recently lost our water supply which was caused by a similar failure as the one that occurred on our 1st

day here as community managers. (Is this going to be a pattern? We hope not). We took extra steps this

time to help minimize the possibility of a similar failure occurring again. And rest assured that the water

quality was not compromised during this failure, but we needed to issue “boil water” notices as required by

the DEP. And, although the notification process was much better that the 1st time, it still could use some

improvement, which we are working on.

More Friendly Reminders

We have noticed several cars parked in driveways of homes where the owners are back north or cars are in

driveways without owner’s approval. Please remember that you must have an owner’s permission to use

their driveway otherwise you are considered trespassing.

As part of our jobs as community managers, we need to make sure all properties are being maintained as

required by the community rules. We all want our community to look it’s best. We have noticed some

homes with “green” north sides and some lawns and flower or shrub gardens that need weeding and some

trees that need pruning. Sooo ..we will be going through the community and will be issuing friendly

reminders that some maintenance may be required on your home.

Solicitors

It has come to our attention that there are some solicitors wandering through the community trying to

“drum up” business. If you have someone knocking on your door or stopping you in the street trying to sell

you something, please get their information and let us know so we can remind them they cannot go about

our community soliciting business.

Let’s keep Southfork beautiful; See you around the community!

John & Sandi

Always take a small magnet on your vacation, they come in handy at the end of it. This is pretty good

info. Never even thought about key cards containing anything other than an access code for the room

HOTEL KEY CARD

Ever wonder what is on your magnetic key card?

Answer:

a. Customer's name

B. Customer's partial home address

C. Hotel room number

D. Check-in date and out dates

E. Customer's credit card number and expiration date !

When you turn them in to the front desk your personal information is there for any employee to

access by simply scanning the card in the hotel scanner. An employee can take a hand full of cards

home and using a scanning device, access the information onto a laptop computer and go shopping at

your expense.

Simply put, hotels do not erase the information on these cards until an employee reissues the card to

the next hotel guest. At that time, the new guest's information is electronically 'overwritten' on the

card and the previous guest's information is erased in the overwriting process.

But until the card is rewritten for the next guest, it usually is kept in a drawer at the front desk with

YOUR INFORMATION ON IT!

The bottom line is: Keep the cards, take them home with you, or destroy them. NEVER leave them

behind in the room or room wastebasket, and NEVER turn them into the front desk when you check

out of a room. They will not charge you for the card (it's illegal) and you'll be sure you are not leaving

a lot of valuable personal information on it that could be easily lifted off with any simple scanning

device card reader.

For the same reason, if you arrive at the airport and discover you still have the card key in your

pocket, do not toss it in an airport trash basket. Take it home and destroy it by cutting it up, especially

through the electronic information strip!

If you have a small magnet, pass it across the magnetic strip several times. Then try it in the door, it

will not work. It erases everything on the card.

from the Association President

Dear Friends,

By now, I hope you have seen our beautiful Club house renovations, which are still a work in progress.

There were many hands involved and a lot of hard work. Thank you all!!!!

Officers and Directors are meeting to prepare for our annual meeting with Scott Heiler and Paul Johnson

to discuss future rent increases and needs.

The answers to our surveys tells us that your major concerns are that there has been no Social Security

increases for the past three years and your necessary expenses have increased along with the resnt

every year.

We cannot make any promises, but we will certainly try to represent all of the residents of Southfork

and your needs.

Dot Cady, President

DayTime Poker

Guidelines for Drug Disposal (Dade City Police @ 521-1495 for disposal)

• Follow any specific disposal instructions on the drug label or patient information that

accompanies the medication. Do not flush prescription drugs down the toilet unless this

information specifically instructs you to do so.

• If no instructions are given on the drug label and no take-back program is available in your

area, throw the drugs in the household trash, but first:

o Take them out of their original containers and mix them with an undesirable substance,

such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter. The medication will be less appealing to

children and pets, and unrecognizable to people who may intentionally go through your

trash.

o Put them in a sealable bag, empty can, or other container to prevent the medication

from leaking or breaking out of a garbage bag.

• Before throwing out a medicine container, scratch out all identifying information on the

prescription label to make it unreadable. This will help protect your identity and the privacy of

your personal health information.

• Do not give medications to friends. Doctors prescribe drugs based on a person's specific

symptoms and medical history. A drug that works for you could be dangerous for someone else.

• When in doubt about proper disposal, talk to your pharmacist.

Drugs such as powerful narcotic pain relievers and other controlled substances carry instructions for

flushing to reduce the danger of unintentional use or overdose and illegal abuse.

For example, the fentanyl patch, an adhesive patch that delivers a potent pain medicine through the

skin, comes with instructions to flush used or leftover patches. Too much fentanyl can cause severe

breathing problems and lead to death in babies, children, pets, and even adults, especially those who

have not been prescribed the drug. "Even after a patch is used, a lot of the drug remains in the patch,"

says the writer, "so you wouldn't want to throw something in the trash that contains a powerful and

potentially dangerous narcotic that could harm others."

Another environmental concern lies with inhalers used by people who have asthma or other breathing

problems, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Traditionally, many inhalers have contained

chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), a propellant that damages the protective ozone layer. The CFC inhalers are

being phased out and replaced with more environmentally friendly inhalers.

Depending on the type of product and where you live, inhalers and aerosol products may be thrown into

household trash or recyclables, or may be considered hazardous waste and require special handling.

Read the handling instructions on the label, as some inhalers should not be punctured or thrown into a

fire or incinerator. To ensure safe disposal, contact Dade City Police Dept. who have a disposal box.

BEE STINGS

This information seen in the internet may be something to remember, as this

season will soon be here again...

It might be wise to carry a penny in your pocket while working in the yard.......... BEE STINGS !

A couple of weeks ago, A woman was stung by both a bee and hornet while working in the garden.

Her arm swelled up, and she went to the doctor. The clinic gave her cream and an antihistamine. The

next day the swelling was getting progressively worse, so she went to her regular doctor. The arm was

Infected and needed an antibiotic. The doctor told her - " The next time you get stung, put a penny on

the bite for 15 minutes". She could not believe this advice!!!!!!

That night, her niece was stung by two bees. She looked at the bite and it had already started to swell.

So, she taped a penny to her arm for 15 minutes. The next morning, there was no sign of a bite and

decided that her niece wasn't allergic to the sting.

Soon, she was gardening outside and got stung again, twice by a hornet on her left hand. She thought,

here I go again to the doctor for another antibiotic.

She promptly got her money out and taped two pennies to her bites, then sat and

sulked for 15 minutes. The penny took the string out of the bite immediately.

In the meantime the hornets were attacking, and her friend was stung on the

thumb. Again the penny. The next morning she could only see the spot where the

hornet had stung her. No redness, no swelling. Her friend's sting was the same;

couldn't even tell where she had been stung.

Just wanted to share this marvelous information in case you experience the same problem. We need

to keep a stock of pennies on hand.

The doctor said that the copper in the penny counteracts the bite.

It definitely works!

Please remember and pass this information on to your friends, children, grandchildren

SOUTHFORK

FOURTH OF JULY

A group of over 50 Southfork residents took time out from their Fourth of July

celebrations to attend a flag raising ceremony held recently. The

sponsored by John and Sandi Bartoszek, new park managers.

As the Star Spangled Banner wafted thru the early morning air, a brand new

flag replaced the old flag which had become faded and tattered from the Florida

breezes. Everyone in the crowd held their hands over their hearts and many

veterans were noticed saluting our new “Old Glory”.

WOW!! Jus' wait 'til you see it.

After a short respite, this roving reporter is back on the prowl covering

the goin's on here at Southfork. (Actually, how could I rest with all of that noise goin' on). As you

might have heard thru the grapevine, there have been some improvements happen' over at the main

meetin' house (Clubhouse).

There has been a cacophony of noises includin' saws whinin', drills drillin', hammers poundin' and

laborers gruntin'. It seems that our prayers have been answered and that awful old stained rug is now

history and has been replaced with shiny new ceramic tile (including the inside out-houses). The old,

leak stained, ceiling tile have been removed and replaced with 2 foot square acoustical tiles that

actually extend down slightly from the suspension grid for a totally nice and refreshing new look.

The windows and blinds have been thoroughly cleaned and now some light can actually shine in to

illuminate the new floor. New (matching) globes have been installed on the fans, a new transition

strip now surrounds the dance floor and the old A/C filters, that were so fuzzy that they looked like a

alpaca in the wintertime, have been replaced.

Additional insulation was installed in the card room and the library to make activities in those rooms

more enjoyable since you will now actually be able to feel the air conditioning and/or heating working

(as Gomer Pyle used to say, “GAWLEEE").

On the outside, new mulch and plantings are being added to the landscaping to refresh those areas

around the main entrance signs, clubhouse, the pool area and the area adjacent to the entrance at

Wilds Road. Also the pool cabana countertop will soon sport a new ceramic tile top.

This newshound, and agile individual, has also heard rumors of more improvements including a

possible new roof on the cluhouse, some new paint and some major improvements on the signage

throughout the park (more on that later).

These improvements are a testimony to the relationship and the new era of goodwill between your

Association Board of Directors, our new General Manager, Paul Johnston and of course our new Park

Managers John and Sandi Bartoszek.

I just can't wait for ya to see it for yourselves, so for all of your snowbirds, drive safely and hurry back

to your friends and extended family here at Southfork.

This has been your roving reporter who always has his ear to the ground just waitin' for somethin'

else to happen.

MEDIEVAL TIMEZ

Recently thiz roving reporter was taking hiz nightly constitutional in hiz yellow &

blacke chariote when he came upon a site for sore eyez and a scene reminiscent

of dayz long gone bye.

It seemz that some hearty soulz had seized thee opportunity to participate in thee anciente Sporte of

Royaltie. Several nobelmen and their genteel ladiez faire were holding courte on thee recently

manicured and properly prepared fieldz of playe. Now don't take thiz newshound incorrectly, they were

not playing polo or particpating in jousting and sword play but rather a rouzing game of horseshoez.

Participantz included Katherine thee Great exhibiting a rather intersting pitching form. Prince Lefty

Logoyda was casting his shoez trying to garner an award for a ringer. Court Jester Bubba J was in fine

forme with hiz outlandish overhand throwing technique and Dandee Don D was obviously thee courte

scribe because he was attempting to keep track of shoez that were tossed close (like in hand grenadez),

leanerz and ringerz.

Rook Robust Robert and Little John sat quietly on thee sidelinez apparently sitting in thee injured and

reserved section while Slick Sherry and Bodacious Bobby G took on their male counterpartz in a duel to

thee finish and ultimately a seat on thee royal podium. The female combatantz were allowed to advance

forward two pacez and one hop to a special ladiez teez for pitching purposez.

There waz even a spectator section where some royal familiez had come to enjoy thee evening, Dame

Dixie was observed trying to fend off a mosquitoe as large as percheron draft horze. Squire Bobby Haun

was cajoling thee players and seemed to be trying to organize an impromptu cheering section from thee

throng of spectatorz. Gentle John Clemmons waz spotted circling thee arena sizing up thee competition.

Similar to thee modern game of polo, spectatorz and playerz alike participated in thee age-old traditione

of stomping of thee divots during a brief interlude in thee play.

Contrary to modern era eventz there were also signz directing spectatorz to special sideline seating and

of courze free parking. This tournamente is being held at thee pre-sunset houre of 7PM on each Tuezday

and wanne-be playerz and hangerz-on are heartily welcomed! It has also been rumored that some

enterprising raconteur may offer a simple faire of roast turkey legs and a large tankard of ale for a

nominal price of six pence, foure bob and two shilling (JUZT KIDDING). Bring your own kool-aid!
