Hurricane season is approaching fast. Make sure that you register with Sarasota County for the latest information by going to their CodeRED site at www.scgov.net. Click on the CodeRED Registration link at the bottom of the page under Emergency Services. Just a reminder that the clubhouse is not a shelter. The clubhouse will be locked so it makes sense to do your homework now to locate your closest shelter. Our company is partnering with a company called Silvernest. They are a company that helps people find a roommate. There will be a seminar in our clubhouse with more info to come. There are also flyers at the clubhouse and we are sending out postcards. Our Home of the Month award for March went to 132 Camellia Street, April went to 160 Oleander Street and May went to 138 Camellia Street. They have received their $50 gift cards! Make sure that you take a ride by these homes. Good luck to next month s winner! FROM THE PRESIDENT Carla Hannay Now that summer is here we have dispensed with the formalities at our Saturday morning coffee (no Mc, etc.) just a Koffee Klutch where you can come have coffee and a donut and chat with your neighbors. We will resume the normal Saturday coffee procedures in September. PS We also need people to sign up to do the coffee on Saturdays. I was informed last Saturday that someone came in and took a donut and advised that the money would be brought over never saw the money. Please be prepared to pay for your donut when you take one....continued on page 2

Top 40 Professionals 2015 Blair Post, HAS, BC-HIS, ACA Board Certified Hearing Instrument Sciences American Conference of Audioprosthology Solutions Not a Sales Pitch WE ARE A SMALL COMMUNITY AND HAVE MANY WALKERS PLEASE ADHERE TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 15 MILES AN HOUR. SPEED LIMIT 15 SPEED LIMIT 15 I have worn hearing aids for a number of years, on and off. I say on and off because it has been off more with my most recent pair purchased from another provider in Venice. I had an annoying problem with feedback, which neither they nor another local provider were able to correct or alleviate. Both told me I should consider newer, more advanced models, which they would be happy to sell me. Since mine were similar, I felt they were more interested in making a sale than helping me. As a result, they wound up in my dresser drawer (not an uncommon situation.) I decided to give it one more go. A friend referred me to Blair Post at Contemporary Hearing. What they said couldn t be done, was done by Blair. No sales pitch on newer models; just a willingness to listen to and work with me. After testing my hearing, he patiently worked with me to make adjustments to the programming. He also refitted the aids with new leads and cones. The ones I had were not sized or fitted properly and caused much of the feedback. I was given a follow up appointment the next week at which time Blair fine tuned the programming and changed out one of the cones for another size. These were simple, inexpensive solutions to a fixable problem. Although I was advised of charges ahead of time, no payment was collected until I was satisfied. Although I found Blair to have an abundance of knowledge, patience and humor, his greatest attribute is INTEGRITY. He honestly wants to help. I would recommend Blair Post and Contemporary Hearing to any person desiring to improve their hearing. ~ M.J. Bridle, Venice FATHER'S DAY POOL PARTY Since we had our first of the year summer pool picnic on mothers day and we will have our 2nd on fathers day June 18th at 4 pm. If you where not there you missed a wide variety of great food. I would like to thank all who attended for assisting in the clean up. Any questions please call me at 480-0208. GAME NIGHT Many Different types of games are played at the clubhouse on Saturday nights at 7:00 pm. Feel free to come and join in the fun. WHAT S A HONEYBELL? by Steve Rollison Consider this a public service announcement. If you like the taste of sweet oranges and you ever see the Honeybell variety for sale, don t miss the chance to give them a try. PAGE 4 As the name implies, they are indeed sweet. Since they re a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit, they have a bit of tartness, too. Other characteristics include few, if any, seeds; very easy-to-peel skin; and a weird bump where the stem attaches that gives a shape something like a bell.
At the time of writing, Detwiler s Farm Market has Honeybells, also known as Mineola tangelos, available at $1.29 per pound.

Susan and I didn t know what to do. We knew that a mobile home was not a safe place to be during a tornado. On the other hand, we had been told for years while living in Ohio to stay indoors if a tornado threatens, that trying to outrun one in your car is a surefire ticket to disaster. So on March 13th, not knowing what to do, we hunkered down and hoped for the best. Fortunately, the storm stayed north of Nokomis and we suffered no harm. Afterward we watched and listened for some official guidance on what we should have done, but none was ever forthcoming. That left us looking for unofficial recommendations on various internet sites. One man who had been involved in mobile homes for many years believed that they were getting a bad rap, and argued that as long as proper tie-down methods were used, manufactured homes were just as tornado resistant as stickbuilt homes since they are built to meet the same code requirements. We do not have everyone s birthday and/or anniversary month and date. If you had a birthday and/ or anniversary in Mayand we missed listing you or I listed it in the wrong month, please contact Janice at jm.vandyke@comcast.net. If you are a new resident or have a phone book change, please contact Janice. PAGE 5 Another website I found had the promising title How to Tornado-Proof Your Mobile Home. It contained suggestions like install an underground tornado shelter made of concrete, steel, or fiberglass; use the community laundry room if your park has one; and anchor outdoor...continued on page 6
structures like swing sets and sheds to keep them from becoming flying weapons. The website concludes, It s best to flee if at all possible. Virtually every other website I found echoed that last piece of advice. One quoted a research meteorologist who claimed that statistics show people who live in mobile homes die in tornadoes at a rate 15 times higher than residents of permanent homes. For many years the official advice has been to abandon a mobile home in favor of a ditch outside, but more and more experts now are recommending that you take shelter in a car or truck instead. Researchers studying post-tornado photographs frequently saw cars or pickups upright, with little damage, near mobile homes where people were killed. But perhaps the best advice comes from Shawn Harley, the meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service office in Jackson, Kentucky. He says he thinks people who live in mobile homes should leave when officials issue a tornado watch and not wait for a warning to be issued. Some of the websites referenced in this article: goo.gl/h324mp goo.gl/9gqxj6 goo.gl/4x3saf goo.gl/zivhdg goo.gl/dujsgv Mobile homes can be damaged by wind speeds as low as 70 mph, but 50 percent of cars at sites hit by tornadoes with much higher estimated wind speeds were not moved more than a meter, and 82 percent didn't tip over, according to one study published in 2002. It is likely a person "encounters less risk of death while belted into a stationary vehicle than while in a mobile home during severe winds," according to the study. While others still disagree, the National Weather Service and the Red Cross issued an advisory in 2009 advising that if you are caught outside in a tornado and can't get to a safe building, as a last resort you should get in your vehicle and try to drive to safety. If the vehicle is hit by debris, you should park, leave your seat belt on, get your head below window level and cover your head, according to the advisory.
