FROM THEBOARD OF DIRECTORS
By Bob McGough, HPCA Board President
"WE DODGED A BIG BULLET." We were very fortunate that Irma's main destructive power missed Heritage Pines. Looking at the daily news accounts and tv news
shows remind me of just how lucky we are. I know some of our residents were unhappy that their power was restored a day later than the rest of the commu-nity, but when you reflect on our overall situation where most us had power restored within 60 hours as compared to those neighborhoods in close proximity to HP that are still without power as I write this article, we were fortunate. There does not seem to have been much damage from falling trees, and as far as I know there was no flooding and most importantly no injuries. The staff had an excellent record in returning to work and has done an outstanding job in cleaning up the community. By the time this article is published we hope to have had a BOD workshop reflecting on lessons learned from Irma and how we can be better prepared. Also to be addressed are things the HPCA can and cannot do in case of a similar situation.
The management staff is working hard on develop-ing the 2018 budget. The 2017 Budget as pub-lished has a goal of ending the year with revenues and expenses balanced, and it looks as if we will meet or exceed that goal. We have the same goal for 2018. The BOD is fully focused along with the management staff on achieving a better balance between food and beverage and golf revenues and expenses without decreasing the service and value of these amenities to the residents. You expect value from what was promised when you bought in HP and our goal is to provide that. As many of us age gracefully we tend to reduce our participation in certain activities and one of our biggest chal-lenges is how to counter that trend which has a negative impact on revenues with new offerings to keep participation in revenue producing activities up. At the same time our expenses continue to grow with inflation which has an overall negative impact on our efforts to have a balanced budget. Our management staff has done an excellent job in keeping expenses under control. continue to next page

In this month's newsletter you will find four articles that everyone should read that will provide information concerning topics that concern all the residents of our community. Gail Pearsall, from the Environmental Issues
Committee, has provided facts and information concerning the Green Fiber recycling program and why the future of the program is in jeopardy. Bart Cutshall, a Board Member of the Heritage Pines Community Development District has written three articles. One that will provide clarity on the status of the five acre parcel of land along County Line Road, another with information on mosquito control, and a third on the new street lighting project. Thank you both for taking the time to provide this information to all our residents.
During July the four tee boxes that were leveled and re-sodded were completed. The work went extremely well and with the additional help of the late afternoon rains they look terrific. The next project to improve the golf course should start this month with the re-sodding of approximately six acres of rough throughout the golf course. We will also be working on the bridges on number 5 and 17. New rail caps will be done on 5 and all rotted or split deck boards will be replaced on 17.
One other project that should be completed by the first week of this month is the installation of acoustic panels in the bar area. These were custom made in different sizes to fit on all areas of wall space in the bar area and according to our engineer they should help reduce the noise levels.
Bill Crusselle, Club Manager
We will soon be starting the election cycle for the BOD. We need help. After three weeks we only have one resident who volunteered for the election committee. We will continue to have sign-up sheets in the lobby and hopefully can convince more of you to volunteer.
As many of you know we lost our golf pro in early September and we wish Ricky the best luck in his new position. The GM has been actively interviewing some highly qualified applicants and we would hope by the time you read this article our new pro will have been selected.

Overall Food Cost for the month of August is 51% with the year to date costs of 45%. Alcohol costs for August is 39% with year to date of 34%. Alcohol Inventory Adjustment of $417. August 2017 breaks down as: Beer $204, Wine $286 and Liquor ($73). Note: June had no outside events and very few resident sponsored events which increased over all food costs for the month.

No amounts have been accrued in 2017 and expenses under budget by $5,826 in that line item for the month of August and $61,352 for year to date. (Note: Reclaimed water was budgeted for 2017 at .50 cents per 1000 gallons. Monthly amounts were determined by yearly and monthly usage in past years. The expense was budgeted due to information from Pasco County that they would begin billing for reclaimed water in 2017.)
GL #6438 – Bad Debt – Remains under budget for 2017. Received another installment on settlement plan of delinquent property and no new bad debts incurred in 2017.

village manager if you have any questions on that amount. You do not have to do anything to change monthly automatic debit amount if you are set up for ACH. It will be processed at the new amount.
ACH and Online/Email Services
If you are not set up for automatic debit (ACH) , please consider this simple process. It's easy to set up and you don't have to worry about anything except deducting the amount from your checking balance each month. And in case you did not know, we never deduct your HOA fee before the third each month. We had many requests to hold off until the third from members that don't receive their direct deposits until then. Also please consider doing away with paper statements. You can view online or have emailed. Just request an “Opt out of paper statement form” from the office, fill out and return with your email address.

get forwarded if the name on your account is something different, like a trust for example. If you are going out of town for an extended period of time, please let us know in the office. We can set your mail to go to another address so you don't miss important association mailings. Just remember to give us a call or email to change it back when you return home.
Member Charge (Jonas) System
We always ask that you bring your member charge card to the club for purchases. This just helps prevent charge errors. If you do not have your card, please do not sign your charge until you have verified it has correct member information at the top. Also as mentioned before, our Jonas system separates your HOA fees and club charges, so we need to have them paid separately. We appreciate that most monthly accounts are current and if not it is usually a one time over sight and we take that into consideration. Please keep in mind club charges not
thpaid by the 20 of following month can be assessed a $25 late fee as well as HOA fees not paid in the month they are due for.

GOLF COURSE AND COMMONGROUNDS MAINTENANCE NEWS
The big news this month was the wrath of Hurricane Irma. A monster Category 5 hurricane that churned through the caribbean and wound up dangerously close to Heritage Pines. We were fortunate in our area that the storm took a slightly easterly course as it neared the nature coast, sparing us a direct hit. Nonetheless we received nearly six inches of rain and sustained winds in excess of 70mph. Irma was one of the largest hurricanes on record. At its peak it was the size of Texas and three times the size of hurricane Andrew. As you may recall Andrew devastated south Florida in August of 1992. A vigorous cleanup is underway as we estimate a total of 15 truck loads of storm debris will be removed from property. We will be keeping a close eye on the tropics for the remainder of the hurricane season which wraps up at the end of November. Our Common Ground Phase 2 project continues after a slight delay from the hurricane. We should be able complete the project in a couple of weeks. On the course we continue to fertilize and spray for weeds to improve turf density as we move into late summer. The sprigs in the roughs are beginning to fill in. we will continue to water and fertilize these areas to facilitate growth for the remainder of the season.
Our featured plant this month is the Schefflera arbicola. We will
be using these plants in our Phase 2 Common Grounds project. A native of Taiwan it is commonly known as the dwarf umbrella tree. Widely exported and extremely adaptable this evergreen shrub can grow to heights of over 7 feet. Initially valued as a house plant for its tolerance of poor growing conditions, it is now grown in landscapes that do not experience severe frosts during the winter months. It is relatively drought and reclaimed irrigation tolerant and requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Fertilization is minimal and it prefers well drained soils. You will notice new plantings in the next few weeks on your drive up Grand Club to the Clubhouse.
Glad everyone made it through Irma ok. We look forward to seeing you around the neighborhood!
On behalf of the staff at the Clubhouse, and the entire Heritage Pines Community, we would like to welcome and recognize the following happy new homeowners and renters!
Caroline Cordice in Scenic Pines Village

WHAT IS A COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (CDD)?
COUNCIL OF VILLAGESBy J Bart Cutshall
Reprinted from Wikipedia
To read a full in depth article titled “What is the CDD and how does it interact with Heritage Pines?”, please log into your account at heritagepines.net and go to “Official Business” “CDD.” You will find a link to the article at the top of the page.
A community development district (CDD) is a local, special-purpose government framework authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended, and is an alternative to municipal incorporation for managing and financing infrastructure required to support development of a community.
History
Authority for CDDs was established by Florida's Uniform Community Development District Act of 1980. Although CDD's provided a new mechanism for the financing and management of new communities, their operation was consistent with the regulations and procedures of local governments, including state ethics and financial disclosure laws for CDD supervisors.
Benefits
County politicians endorse them because they increase property values and create infrastructure without cost to government. Developers don't have to use their own money to pay up front for the development of the infrastructure. Residents like them because the initial price of their property should be lower due to deferred infrastructure costs.
The theory behind CDDs holds that services and public facilities used by residents and landowners will be available early in the development process, and are paid for by self-imposed assessments and fees. Because the CDD is controlled by the landowners/residents, the decision of what services are offered and which facilities are constructed is up to the landowners/residents. The cost of capital for CDDs is lower than that of the developer, saving money.
Control
The CDD is controlled by a Board of Supervisors, five individuals elected by the landowners of the district. The board then elects one supervisor as chairperson, names a secretary and a treasurer who need not be board members, and hires a district manager, who will be responsible for daily operations of the CDD.
Power
A CDD is a legal entity that has the power and right to enter into contracts; to own both real and personal property; adopt by-laws, rules and regulations and orders; to sue and be sued; to obtain funds by borrowing; to issue bonds; and to impose assessments and levy taxes on property within the district. These taxes and assessments pay the construction, operation and maintenance costs of certain public facilities and services of the district, and are set annually by the governing board of the CDD. They are itemized on the property tax statement, in addition to county and other local governmental taxes and
assessments as provided for by law. To learn more about the 2018 Assessment, attended the meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at 2p.m., in the Heritage Pines Clubhouse.
The meeting was opened by Rosie Tilton at 4:00 p.m. with Three Discussion points:
Discussion: In the beginning of the Reclaimed Water Project we were told that if surplus water was available that it would be provided to the community at no cost. We were also told of a cost $.23/$.50 cost per 1000 gallons would be incurred if we were to be charged for the water. As you know, to date we have never been charged for our water usage.
For the purpose of producing our 2018 Village Operating Budgets should we assume that we will be charged at a flat rate of $.63 per 1000 gallons of water used or should we assume that we will still benefit in some months that the water will be provided at zero cost to our community? We should have a discussion at the next COV on how the individual villages in our community are planning to attack this budgeting issue. The issue comes to maintained village budgeting and bottom line – we just don't know. Pine Ridge has been on reclaimed water for five years and have always budgeted for the charges, but conservatively (30-40% of what may be charged). There have been no charges to date but if it happens they would be covered by surplus for the first year. Pines Glen is charging each house now and if they begin to be billed, the money would come from that surplus. The consensus of all speakers is that we need information from the County and it is not forthcoming. They don't know so we don't know. Ray Russell, CDD stated that he spoke with the Assistant Manager at Pasco County and couldn't get a straight answer and we will have to abide with whatever is published. He said they are all new people there and this may become a revenue stream for the county. Bill stated the board is budgeting $.63/1000 gal. and it seems that at the county level the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. We may be billed and we may not. A suggestion was made from a resident that we go to their offices as a community to let them know we see there is a problem. Power to the people!
Discussion: The question has been asked why do you attend the CofV meetings but not the Board meetings? This is a serious question from the board and they would like some feedback and are willing to listen. Residents stated: 1) they don't want people with ideas or opinions 2) they have already made up their minds on agenda items when they vote 3) meetings are too long 4) items on the agenda do not have resident input. 5) A new resident stated he did not know he was invited and Rosie stated that all meetings are open by law unless it is an executive session. Bill said that executive meetings were closed to residents in order to discuss employee issues and Rosie answered this legal issue. An executive session can be called by the board when needed. Rosie asked for suggestions on how to improve attendance but none were forthcoming. On a lite note she asked if folks would attend if they offered cookies and coffee or pizza and beer. Would you go?

Discussion: Suggestion of type and model for village flag pole replacements - This goes to the question of what to purchase if the village flag pole is damaged. There were several stories about each village's experiences but bottom line is each village must make its own decision.
Information: Dale Mallek submitted information to help you find your home's elevation, or distance between any two points. If interested, please visit the following websites:
To find out the elevation for any street address: http://elevationmap.net. To measure the distance between any two points: https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm
Agenda
1) Are there going to be flowers put alongside the front waterfall as it looks unkempt now? Yes, was scheduled for last week but the hurricane came. It will be replanted this week.
2) We were told the NFL package would remain and now we are told it is just the red zone over the pricing difference when the $160 savings could be made up over four Sundays a month's income in the bar. We ceased service with DirectTV because of bad picture, bad service to us and no picture when it rains. Spectrum gives us Red Zone, which we realize is not the same as the NFL package but try it – see if you like it and we'll see how it goes from there.
3) Is there a policy now set for the pavilion usage? Can I please get a copy of it? Handout showing answers to questions at our last meeting. It survived the hurricane!
4) HP CDD Proposed Budget: Published August 16, 2017 Tampa Bay Times page 7F. All Units except Pine Ridge FY2016/2017 Assessment per unit $318.95. All units except Pine Ridge FY 2017/2018 proposed Assessment $267.68. Pine Ridge FY 2016/2017 Assessment per unit $260.53. Pine Ridge FY 2017/2018 proposed Assessment $267.68.
Rosie answered this agenda item and said this proposed budget is reflective of operating costs. No questions answered today but will be answered on Oct. 10 at the CDD meeting. Go to the meeting to see what/why you taxes will be.
Pine Ridge is different because they did their own reclaimed water project five years ago and are not assessed the yearly assessment for reclaimed water. Originally they were using potable water, not well water and the cost was prohibitive so they did their own deal with the County and they have their own connection to Pasco's water system. The cost of the project was $70k and was paid for with the savings. Congrats to the village for seeing a problem and resolving it. Going forward they will be in line with the rest of HP.
5) Deceased Residents' names are still listed on the Birthday list in the newsletter yet it is the community that sends out the “Sad News” notice of their death. Could this please be corrected as it is upsetting to many? The “sad news” is only sent out if the family asks us to. Not all families want this. When the request for information for the newsletter comes out it is stated in the last paragraph that
COUNCIL OF VILLAGES cont’d birthday information can be updated either by calling or e-mailing. This request is also under the birthday notifications in the newsletter and asks you contact [email protected] with changes. After all was said and done was the opinion of those attending that when the “sad news” notice comes out, the name of the person should be deleted automatically from the birthday list which it seems would be the natural thing to do. Bill said they were aware and were discussing it.
6) Canceling the NFL package was not a sensible action. The savings of $1,920 per year is an infinitesimal amount. In addition, we will be losing bar revenue because homeowners will stay home instead of coming to the bar. Why not make a change and get the NFL package back? There was discussion on comparing the income from when we had the NFL package to now having the Red Zone. Bill's comment was that they were looking at it but to remember that other than football people use the bar. Picture quality, reception problems and service issues must also be considered. We are a commercial user and with DirectTV there is only one tech who can service our needs – and that didn't work out well.
7) Is any section of Heritage Pines in a flood zone? Prior to the storm there was a publication in the lobby called the “Disaster Planning Guide”. We are in two flood zones. Zone D is west of Grand Club Drive and Zone E is east of Grand Club Drive. They do the flood plane on elevation and 27 feet is the elevation for D and 34 feet is the elevation for E. The Waterfall community is at 20'-23' while the clubhouse is at 35'-36'.
8) Why wasn't our guard gate manned on Monday after the storm? Starting mid-week Bill had conversations with managers at Heritage Springs, Tampa Bay and Timber Pines to compare notes on plans to go forward. Winds at 40 mph is the cut zone where emergency vehicles do not run. At 50 mph ambulances do not run. Our employees have homes and families to care for. Even if we had a contracted security company they would have removed their employees. All four communities made the same decision that Saturday, Sunday and Monday would be off days for the security staff. We can't put anyone in harm's way. One security person volunteered to work Monday night and did ride around the community all night.. There was applause and it was stated “you did the right thing.” Bill thanked everyone for the support.
There was a sheriff's car in the community Monday morning and the fire department was here also. There were some downed trees but we were blessed with minimal damage.
9) CERT stated we need an ID to return to the community, why when our gate is wide open?Id is only needed to get back into your community after a disaster that has caused major damage. You have to prove you live there. We were fortunate to not be in that situation but folks in many communities were and still are unable to get into their neighborhoods.
Bill let us know that he is interviewing for a golf pro for HP. He contacted the PGA and met with their Regional Career Director. Bill has had may resumes from some great candidates and from some surprising candidates, many local who are looking to

make a change. He will be doing a second round of interviews and hoping to make a decision by next week.
Bill thanks everyone to doing a great job during the hurricane and is looking forward to getting HP cleaned up quickly. He feels very blessed that we came thru with very little damage compared to other parts of the state. Applause.
Discussion: What I learned from Hurricane Irma! add to the list... (Rosie Tilton) This is a handout stating 33 suggestions for things to do and think about for the next storm. Rosie submitted it to be published in the next edition of The Pines. Many of us added our own suggestions to the list. Its all about everyone helping each other in a time of need. Share with your neighbors – it can be electricity from your generator to charge a phone, a hot cup of coffee or heating their food on your gas grill.
Announcement from Rosie
I have made a personal decision to retire as the Council Coordinator. I will complete this year which means that there will be an October and November meeting but I will not coordinate this meeting in the future as I find the stress of dealing with this one hour meeting more than I am willing to live with.
I suggest that the Board and not Management decide what the communication forum will be in the future. If you are personally interested in leading any communication forum I suggest you speak with Bob McGough as he believes in the importance OF COMMUNICATION.
If you ask me why I made this decision I will share my personal thoughts.... It is all in the attitude.
That is Community needs to be appreciative of what they have and stop complaining about what they don't have. That we as retired adults need to have civil intelligent conversation and work towards solutions to issues that impact this community. That emails sent undermining and criticizing leadership are poisonous to the harmonious retirement community we all choose to live in.
That we need to take down that wall of “Us vs. Them” with management and leadership. By that I simply mean that we need to be appreciative and supportive of all residents that volunteer and of employees. We need to treat all employees with respect and be civil in our conversations with them. That includes the General Manager. That we need to change the current attitude in Heritage Pines by standing up to the few that spoil it for all and stop forwarding such emails to others. Simply invite those few to go to a residents forum and speak.
And lastly - We as owners have a right to ask questions and get complete responses. After all it takes a community to get things done…. Thank you for your years of support. To my dear friends who kept me motivated by using common sense and duct tape thanks very much. But it simply isn't fun anymore. We are all sad but look forward to someone stepping up to fill these big shoes.
Next meeting: October 12, 2017

WHAT I LEARNED FROMHURRICANE IRMA
Keep Hazardous Waste Out Of The TrashAnd Out Of Our Recycled Paper Bins
Each year in March we have a crew from Pasco County Recycling come here to collect your hazardous wastes. What could be easier? Perhaps dumping them wherever you would like, so they become someone else's problem?
Let's support Pasco County and Heritage Pines with this once a year project sponsored by the Environmental Issues Committee. The county will be available to accept your hazardous material. Bring your paint, pool chemicals, motor oil, large batteries, cleaning chemicals, any type of light bulbs, etc. to the parking lot. Electronics may also be dropped off, with a small charge of $5 for computers, monitors and small TV's, $10 for TV's over 36”.
Do your part and urge your neighbors to do it too!
Now, because of a few irresponsible residents, the recycled paper program we have had available to residents for years is in imminent danger of being discontinued! This program has paid for many improvements to our community that has not cost the residents a penny. Let's not let a good thing die!
Heritage Pines will be installing additional lights and a surveillance camera in the recycling areas to keep an eye on the bins near the cart barn and the rear gate. These measures should reduce the need for our Facilities Department employees to clean up a mess each week, keep our recycled bins free of contamination, and save money. It is sad that it has come to this, but we know of no other way to discourage this illegal dumping.
Look for the Environmental Issues Committee table at the Craft Fair on November 4th.
1. That a CERT Team in a community is vital! And needs community support.
2. Buy some glow sticks at the $1 store for your supply box as they give light.
3. Freeze water in liter bottles and place in freezers or refrigerators.
4. Turn your freezer to the highest setting.
5. Place frozen food in a garage bag so if it spoils you can just dump the bag contents and all.
6. Check your Hurricane supplies annually when you check your smoke detector batteries.
7. We ran the generator ($500) during the day but shut it down at 10:00 p.m. for fear that the noise would bother someone and someone may try to steal it (that is a huge issue in Orlando right now.) We learned that we needed five gallons of gas per day for approximately eight hours depending on the load applied. We had 25 gallons (buy the gas and containers before the storm.)
8. We learned that neighbors should ask those with generators to charge their cell phones and possibly offer them a cup of coffee.
9. Use your empty dishwasher for important papers and sentimental items (wedding photos) it is waterproof.
10. Watch quick video on how to charge cell phone with a 12 volt battery.
11. That important papers need to be organized and in ziplock water proof bags.
12. That Snowbirds need to secure their homes before they leave to go North.
13. Besides my iPhone, where I could watch the radar, I found the crank emergency radio a must. I could listen to the radio all night knowing where the storm was. Easy to move from one station to another. Could have done this with my IPhone but this conserved phone power.
14. A battery pack for the phone and laptop.
15. A NOAA weather alert radio for critical local weather emergencies like tornadoes.
16. Buy a lot of healthy foods that require no refrigeration.
17. Buy paper plates, bowls, cups and plastic utensils, paper towels.
18. Keep simple snacks available on the counter.
19. Fill bath tubs with water.
20. Get battery operated candles.
21. Do not use oil lamps or candles in case house is compromised.
22. Freeze large containers of water for keeping foods cold later.
23. Keep important papers in car.
continue to next page
-14-
24. Keep car loaded and ready for instant evacuation: clothes, food, meds, camera, battery chargers, be prepared to turn off house water, masks.
25. Always have plenty of money for emergency situations.
26. Keep a quantity of large clean wipes for washing face and body in a pinch.
27. If power is going to be off, empty ice container into freezer bags and turn off ice maker so that container doesn't end up with melted ice cubes perhaps making a mess.
28. Have plenty of small black bags if necessary to make a port a potty out of toilet.
29. Batteries
30. Butt vehicles to garage door to support against wind.
31. Keep all windows and doors closed during storm.
32. Never venture out during hurricane; can be injured from flying debris.
33. Have plenty of bug repellent.
34. Prepare to live without electricity and or plumbing.
35. Keep continuous contact so you know of current conditions.
36. Know your evacuation level and closest shelter.
37. Ask Dale Mallek to teach a course on how to charge a cell phone during a Hurricane and the best apps to stay informed locally.

By Mike Miller, ACC Chairman
Most homeowners have examined their home and property after Hurricane Irma passed through and had the opportunity to make repairs. For those that have recently returned to Heritage Pines there is an upcoming ACC Meeting on October 3rd that allows time to submit an ECR (Exterior Change Request - copy is on the following page).
Please remember to submit an Exterior Change Request (ECR) and have approval before the repairs/changes are performed. If in doubt that an ECR is required, contact a member of the Architectural Committee. Homeowners in maintained villages must first submit the request to their respective village ACC (or applicable review authority) for approval prior to submitting their request to the Front Desk. The request will then be submitted to HP ACC for final approval.
Check your ECR to make sure necessary information has been supplied to allow the committee to approve your request. If you are removing a tree then fill in the line stating how many trees are remaining and their location (front and/or rear). The Architectural Manual states you must have a minimum of one tree in the front and one tree in the rear. If you are installing windows, screens, doors, gutters/downspouts, lights or replacing an item you must advise the color, size and in some cases supply a sample. If we don't have the necessary information your ECR will not be approved.

COMMITTEE/MEMORIALTREE PROGRAM
By Linda O'Leary
The 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. They can also be purchased as a gift, perhaps a birthday or anniversary idea. 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 Heritage Pines maintenance facilities. Trees will be planted during the months of February/March and September/October. 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.

Are you out of town, travelling, or just plain busy when tickets for a major event go on sale? No worries, Heritage Pines is now proudly offering a “Will-Call” procedure for those residents who are unable to purchase tickets the day they go on sale. The events and shows at Heritage Pines have become incredibly popular. So much so, that we are booking many events and shows with back to back performances. Tickets are selling on the first day they go on sale! It goes without saying, that the Clubhouse has become the hub of social activity within our community.

2. Click Send! – it’s that easy...
3. Now, here are a few follow-ups:
a. Will-call tickets will be purchased AFTER all residents who have “lined-up” on the day of and received their tickets.
b. Only ten tickets can be purchased per resident account.
c. Tickets will be purchased in the order they are received.
d. We cannot accommodate residents who wish to be seated with anyone else, tickets will be sold to the first available seats.
4. Tickets can be picked up at the front desk at a time that is convenient for you!
We hope this added service comes as a benefit to you all!

An ungracious guest named Irma ripped through our community, tearing down branches and littering our fairways; ignoring all the rules. As Niners look back at her rude visit, we will clean up the mess and swing ahead into fall events. She won't be invited back.

Niner solidarity has always been strong in good times and in bad... and so we ask that you continue to pray for and support those who are going through difficult times. Enjoy an afternoon of golf and companionship with old and new friends and remember that old saying: “Laughter is the best medicine.” It's not a sure cure, but it makes our lives a little easier and our friendships that much stronger.
MEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATIONThis writing occurred on Sep. 12th and Hurricane Irma had just passed. This writer worked Hurricane Charlie and several others before retiring. We really dodged a bullet on this one. A quick survey of the community especially of what I could see from the road showed minimal damage. Very happy to get our electricity back on as quickly as it happened. A special thanks to our GM Bill Crusselle for keeping us posted on what was happening and providing helpful suggestions right up to the last minute.

Ricky Clas had his fifth (second in two months) Hole-in-One on August 17th. The ace occurred on hole 12 with a front center hole location playing 143 yards from the white tees. His playing partners were David Rickard, Owen Ryan and Bob Horn. Ricky advised it was early in the morning looking into the sun and they did not see it go into the hole. It was a pleasant surprise when they looked in the hole.
On August 19th Dave Rickard had his third Hole-in-One with this one being his first at HP. Using a five hybrid, Dave scored his ace on hole 17 playing 130 yards from the green tees to a front hole placement. Playing partners were Jim Kelly, Ricky Clas and Tony Ravida. Dave advised that he had been struggling and on the previous hole Ricky advised him that he was dropping his shoulder. Standing on the tee, Dave remembered the hint just before swinging.
We would like to thank out going Golf Pro Ricky Weber for his work and cooperation with the MGA over the past three years. Ricky was especially helpful in our annual Member/Guest tournaments. Rick was hired just a couple weeks before the 2015 tournament. A tournament like this takes a lot of work by the Club Pro and Ricky did his part to see it ran as smooth as possible.
Member/Member – This year's Member/Member will be held November 8th and 15th.
Heritage Cup – It's too late to sign up for this year's tournament but if interested, check with the Pro Shop in case there are any cancellations. Tournament to be held October 4th and 11th, luncheon will follow golf on the 11th. Tournament cost is $10.00. Due to unforeseen circumstances, team captains have not been determined at the time of this writing. Once selected, team captains will alternate picks from the list of those who sign up and then determine pairings with two members from each team playing against each other using a full handicap. The first day format will be Front 9 two man best ball and the back nine alternate shot. The second day will be individual match play. Two players from each team will be matched against the other team player closest to his handicap using the full handicapped system. Sign up will begin Tuesday, September 5th and will end Wednesday, September 27th. A Luncheon will follow the tournament at a cost of $13.00 a person and will be billed to your account. Free beer and soda will be provided and prizes awarded at the luncheon. You do not have to attend the luncheon to play in the tournament and you may attend the luncheon if you do not play in the tournament. The MGA has obtained a unique gift for each member of the winning team. If you are not playing in the tournament, but wish to attend the luncheon, please do not put your name on the sign-up sheet, just let the pro shop know your intentions.
The Semi-annual Members Meeting will be held October 25th. We will have wings between golf and the meeting.

HERITAGE PINES MEN’S NINERS
GOLF HANDICAP COMMITTEEBy Joy Stefany, Chairperson Handicap Committee
Are you posting all of your eligible scores? To post a 9-hole score, you must play 7 to 12 holes. To post an 18-hole score, you must play at least 13 holes. For holes not played, record par plus any handicap strokes allowed (ESC). If you pick up on a hole, record your 'most likely' score not to exceed your Equitable Stroke Control limit (ESC). Record ALL 9-hole scores. Let the Handicap System keep track of the scores instead of waiting for another 9-hole score.
Remember that even if you play in a group that plays Quota Points, ALL scores MUST be posted to the GHIN system also.

In order to participate in events, you MUST have an accurate handicap. If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Heritage Pines Handicap Committee.

October is Florida Native Plant Month. One event you don't want to miss is the Nature Coast Florida Native Plant Society Fall plant sale on Saturday, October 21st. Location is right on Highway 41 on the north side of Land O'Lakes at the community center bandshell. You will find a large supply of plants from regional native plant nurseries, complete descriptions of every plant, plus helpful master gardeners while you browse and select, and a wealth of other resource material.
Have you experimented with Florida Native Plants yet? Decisions, decisions. The first one should always be "right plant, right place." What size do you want a mature plant to be? Do you wish to nurture pollinating insects, butterflies and/or birds? What's the aesthetic you are looking for? Is it a dry site? Wet site? Shady? Full or partial sun?
Define your site, then go ask an expert in native plants. Or if you like a little research go to the www.fnps.org website. You can enter your criteria, including your county and get a list of native plants and all their attributes. Personally I'd enter Hernando County in your site criteria, since we are located in the sandhills of that region... not coastal and not southern.
Why plant native plants? Native plants are strikingly beautiful, and have cost savings in their environmental and health benefits. Birds, butterflies and pollinators have specific nutritional needs that are only found in native plant species. Plus native plants are adapted to Florida's soils, climate and insects. Planting natives in their appropriate habitats keeps nature balanced with development and reduces the needs for insecticides, fertilizers and irrigation.
Here's a great plant for our area... Dwarf Wild Coffee. It's an evergreen small shrub at 2-4' mature. Adaptable from full sun to shade; is somewhat drought tolerant; has white cluster flowers in the Spring with red to maroon berries that attracts birds. It's an excellent understory shrub.
And don't miss the Beautyberry shrubs at Paleo Park this Fall. We are lucky to have one of the nicest collections anywhere.
For anyone that isn't able to get to this native plant sale, watch for others in the area. Or contact me for a list of local retail native plant nurseries.

COUPLES DANCING
BILLIARDS FOR EVERYONE
We survived Irmagedon! Our prayers have been answered. We realize the importance of holding our loved ones close to our hearts and cherishing the fact that they are in our lives. And what a better way to do that than to hold them close while on the dance floor. Two bodies moving as one.
Our newlywed professional dance instructor, Bonnie Jordan, will be teaching us some very romantic dance moves this month. Join us Monday nights from 4:45 to 5:45. Class is only $10.00 a couple. Bring your loved one, whether it be your spouse or neighbor, and plan on turning up the heat on the dance floor while the weather is cooling off outside.

If you haven't played pool (billiards) with the Ladies, or the Couples Groups then you are missing a lot of laughs and fun. We do not have a league, but we do have some talented players who are very patient and are helping all of us to improve our game.
The Ladies Group plays on Wednesdays from 1 p.m. through 3 p.m. and on Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. through 11:30 p.m. The “ladies” are always willing to welcome new players and teach novices. Simply drop in to play either Wednesdays or Thursdays in the billiards/card room at the clubhouse.
Then we also have a Couples Group meeting to play on Saturdays from 2 p.m. through 4 p.m. This consists of beginners to some amazingly skilled generous players who want to share their knowledge while still having a good time with their partners. The comradery and support that everyone gives each other, whether a good shot has been made or a miss, makes the afternoon a lot fun while giving you an opportunity to meet some new residents. Makes for some very interesting matches!
If you played pool “back in the day” or never at all, please feel free to drop in and join us. We know you'll enjoy it like we do. For further information, please call Ruth Stickel at 869-7848 or Deb Tribbey at 857-6583.

BOOK CLUBThe Heritage Pines Book Club meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month. On October 25, we
will meet at 10:30 a.m. in the Magnolia Room.
Our featured book this month, a NY Times bestseller for several months recently, is Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. The story begins with a small lie about a playground incident in a ritzy seaside town in Australia. Three mothers of students are the main characters, all very different, but vividly portrayed in all their goodness and their flaws. Throughout, a violent death is hinted at, and not only must we wonder “whodunnit”, but we don't even know the identity of the victim, until both are revealed in a death scene so cleverly written, you'll have to read it twice. This clever and witty book deals with the many “little” lies we all tell, and the sometimes devastating consequences they can have.
Following the meeting, members will adjourn to the Dining Room for lunch and more “book talk.”
These books are scheduled for the coming months:
Nov 29 Silent Child by Sarah A. Danzil
Jan 24 The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild

We are deeply saddened by the untimely passing of our friend and colleague, Dudley Saunderson, who for more than 15 years acted in and directed many of our best plays. He also performed in several productions at the Show Palace Dinner Theater and, for many years, sang in the annual HP Variety Show. But knowing Dudley, he would insist that we not grieve for him but celebrate his entry into God's Kingdom where he will now have the opportunity to sing with the heavenly choir in praising his Creator. And, as a true professional of the theater, he would demand that “the show must go on” as he passes the torch and his commitment for excellence to all of us in the Drama Club.
Maestro Dudley, we will miss you. To his charming wife, Gloria, we offer our sincerest condolences for her loss. We, too, are hurting. Notwithstanding our sorrow for the loss of Maestro Dudley and his commitment to the long tradition of the theater that the “show must go on”, we will, with heavy hearts, adhere to that tradition in tribute to Maestro Dudley. Please accept the following in that light. It is difficult for us to write about other business under these circumstances.
The Drama Club Board of Directors did not have its monthly Board meetings in July and August due to the lack of a quorum. The September Board meeting is scheduled after the due date for submission of this article so there is very little news to announce other than the following.
We are sorry that the article for the Drama Club in the September issue of the newsletter was a repeat from our August article. It was caused by a technical glitch in the processing system of HP that published the wrong article and not the one we submitted. We appreciate their acknowledgement and apology for the error and subsequent publication of the correct September article by e-mail to all residents.
Rick Myers, the Director of our fall play, has been in the process of selecting the cast for “Fox on the Fairway”. As of this writing, a full cast has not yet been assembled. With many of our members still up north and the concern for those of us locally with Hurricane Irma and its path and the preparations many are making to evacuate, if necessary, it will take longer than planned to cast this play. However, for such a “zany bunch” of characters that the eventual cast must portray (see our August article), they might want to keep in mind the following quote from one of the most respected Directors of the live theater…..
“An actor must never be afraid to make a fool of himself.” Harvey Cocks.

Tai Chi – Beginner – Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. in the PAC
Tai Chi - Advanced – Thursday at 8:30 in the PAC
Qigong (Chee Kung) – Saturday at 8:30 in the PAC
New Schedule For October
Qigong Class will be starting again on Saturday, October 7th at 8:30 in the PAC. For the month of October, Tuesday morning will be a continuation of the Beginner/Intermediate Class from last year, and Thursday morning will go back to Advanced Tai Chi.
Starting November 7th, a brand new Beginner Class will be starting. This is the only time all year that a new Beginner Class will be starting right from the very beginning. I will demonstrate the Tai Chi form for all brand new students, explaining the origins of Tai Chi, and clarify the many benefits that Tai Chi and Qigong bring to you.
Lower Your Healthcare Costs
Tai Chi and Qigong does what Western medicine does not do. It improves balance, range of motion, strength, and coordination, and it relieves stress and anxiety. Why pay the high cost of high-tech care and prescriptions that only treat the symptoms of disease, when you can address the root cause of many chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity (all of which account for 75% of health care costs) by a change in lifestyle and self-care. These diseases are caused by our stressful lifestyles. The future of health care is to address chronic stress through alternative approaches to a health, such as Tai Chi, Qigong and Yoga.
Health care is much in the news these days, and, although most of us that live in Heritage Pines, are lucky enough (and old enough) to be on Medicare, we can still be adversely effected by the cost of chronic diseases. More important than monetary cost, is the cost to our lifestyle. I'm sure that none of us want to find ourselves handicapped and be unable to do all the things we want to do (and have available to us here in Heritage Pines). As a health discipline – and health care is so expensive in terms of cost – Tai Chi is cheap!
We are energy. Qi, or life energy, is pulsing through us constantly.

There have been several requests from HP residents as to where they could donate the”work clothes” that they wore before retiring. The Angels have finally found a wonderful place that needs this type of clothing. It is MY CAREER CLOSET and is located at 17998 Ayers Rd (at the corner of Ayers and Route 41), Masaryktown.
The phone number is 352-293-2015 and it is best to call first as they have variable hours. They really help women get back on their feet and into a productive place in society. When a woman has an interview, My Career Closet will dress her in an appropriate outfit for an interview. If she gets the job they will provide five outfits that are appropriate for her work.
In order to help this most worthwhile cause, The Angels have arranged for a one day drive for Heritage Pines residents to easily donate to the Career Closet. The date is Sunday, October 8th from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Craft Room.
Items to be donated should be clean and free of needed repairs. All sizes are needed, and requested items include suits, slacks, blouses, jackets, tops, dresses, shoes, purses, and jewelry. In other words anything that would be appropriate for any type of job interview.
If the designated time is not convenient for you, please call one of the following members who will make arrangements to accept your donations: Ginny Grandpre at 727-697-0955, Lynn Aigotti at 727-862-6404, Kathy Minewiser at 727-233-6407or Carol Dimse at 727-233-6068.
It is a very warm and satisfying feeling to help those in need. Sometimes a little boost and to know that someone cares is all people need to get back on their feet. So please gather all your appropriate items and see you Sunday, October 8th from 1 to 3 p.m.
Angels In The Pines is now a 501(c)3 organization. That means that any donation to the Angels will be tax deductible on your IRS Income Tax under Charitable Donations. The “Angels” create clothing and other warm items that are distributed to elementary school children, veterans and other facilities in need of their products. Your contribution will help them purchase much needed supplies for these items. If you would like to support the work of the Angels, just fill out following form and mail it along with your contribution to the address listed below.

We meet every Saturday in the craft room from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Even if you have never done ceramics before you can learn. Some of the ladies have years of experience and we all can help anybody that is new to the class. Something new to the class is that we now have a small inventory of items for sale at a reasonable price. These are what are called “bisque”, which means they have been cleaned and fired. Ready to be painted. You can paint them two different ways. You can use acrylic paint with a clear topcoat for protection, bought from Wal-Mart or some of the craft stores like Michael's. The other is to use a special ceramic paint that needs to be fired after you have finished. This paint has to be bought from a ceramic store; we can give you the names and addresses. If you have any questions stop in on a Saturday morning. Meet the ladies and get some information, or you can call Jackie Ciesla at 727-861-1965. Everyone is welcome. Hope to see some new faces. Jackie Ciesla.
OPEN INTEREST ARTWelcome back a lot of you snowbirds! Just to let you all know, we have a group called "Open Interest Art" that meets every Wednesday in the Craft Room from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. We are folks to like to paint, do pastels, or any other of the art medias and we enjoy the camaraderie and the excellent space that is available to us to stretch out and not be cramped doing our art at the kitchen table! Also, it does not have to be just art, there is plenty of room for those other tasks that you might need space for. If you have any questions, please contact Camille Baldick at 727-862-9974.

Welcome back to some of our snowbirds! Several of our walk friends have returned and it is great to see them and catch up. In the coming months more will be returning. If you are new to exercise or want to get back into a daily routine then Walk Aerobics may be your answer. We meet Monday through Saturday at 9:30 a.m. in the PAC room. The range is two to five miles depending on the day of the week. We walk to the beat of the music but don't worry if you can't keep up. You can walk at your own pace and you will still get the benefits of exercising. Hope to see you there!
Come socialize and meet new friends to reminisce old times at the Clubhouse on Friday, October 13th at 12:00 p.m. for lunch. If interested please call Loretta Fulda at 727-697-2060 or Stephanie Nunziante at 727-860-4142.

We survived Hurricane Irma with no loss of feline life in Heritage Pines as far as we know. The famous group of 54 polydactyl (six toed) cats at Ernest Hemingway's home in Key West all survived the storm safely snuggled inside the home. They were rounded up before the Keys were hit, some came running to the house apparently aware that there was bad weather approaching. Do cats have a sixth sense about impending storms?
Cats don't like their owners to be absent and often show their resentment when the owner returns. But they prefer to remain in their familiar environment when you are away. They can be taken care of by our team of volunteer cat sitters while you are away. If you want a volunteer cat sitter, please call Minette Salomon at (973) 651-7589, or Rusty Peacock at (352) 232-5300, and you will be connected to the group.

This month we will continue to follow the apostle Paul on his missionary journeys as reported in the Book of Acts. If you have an interest in Bible study we invite you to join us on Monday mornings from 9-11 a.m. in the Magnolia Room. There are no prerequisite studies or materials required other than a personal Bible. Our ladies attend a variety of local churches so if you are new to Heritage Pines and looking for a church, we may be able to steer you to one that may meet your desire or need. We will welcome you and look forward to sharing our faith. This recent storm that threatened us plus the troubling situations in the world we live in have shown us how great and faithful our God is when we pray for His protection.

MONDAY LADIES’ BIBLE STUDY
Another new beginning for the New Beginnings Women's Bible Study. What The Bible Says About Angels begins November 6, 2017, Monday 1:30 in the Conference Room.
“In a doctor's office last year, I was told I had cancer,” begins David Jeremiah. I'm sure you'll understand when I said I was fearful. It was one of those times when I would have cherished having an angel with me, assuring me everything would be okay. . . But as far as I knew, I'd never seen an angel. Never. Did that mean something was wrong with me? . . . Wasn't I spiritual enough?
Chapter One, entitled, “What in the World are Angels Doing?” begins David Jeremiah's study. The explosion of interest in angels has thrown a lot of information our way—but also confusion, contradiction and flimsy speculation. Where can we go for solid, meaningful information? How can we gain a balanced and accurate perspective that's built on God's reality, on Scripture? That is what this study is all about.
Angels: “welcome wonders or a waste of time” is the basis for
NEW BEGINNINGSWOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
TUESDAY LADIES’ BIBLE STUDYWe are starting our second week in the eight week study this month titled “The Real God-How He Longs For You To See Him.” It isn't too late to join us as we study the Seven Attributes of God. His goodness, sovereignty, holiness, wisdom, justice, love and faithfulness. The study will change the way you think about God, yourself and others. We will learn to pray and live with a deep peace and a renewed purpose as we see God in a whole new light. You will see Him as He longs to be seen. Each week during the study we will view a video by Chip Ingram with discussion afterward.
We look forward to having you join us in the Magnolia Room of the Clubhouse on Tuesday mornings at 9:00 until 11:00 a.m. for study and fellowship.
our investigation into this subject. We would know nothing dependable about angels if it weren't for what God himself has told us. Apart from divine revelation, science and human wisdom can't come close to answering our questions on this topic. The Bible, as our source, reflects God's knowledge of the universe rather than man's. All are welcome. Discussion questions for that week's lesson are sent to you to be downloaded. Those are all you need along with your Bible. Come join us, a group of friendly women who are eager to learn and are full of questions!

The mission of the HP Food & Wine Club is to enjoy new culinary and wine experiences as a group with events that members may not have been exposed to in just dining out.
The June Spanish Wines and Tapas Tasting had a sell-out crowd of 31 members and their guests. Chef Josh prepared wonderful Tapas dishes that tantalized our taste buds. We tasted a few Spanish cheeses, followed by a Spanish Eggplant dip on a toasted bread rounds, Pan-fried bread cubes with Chorizo sausage, Fresh melon with Serrano ham and artichoke hearts, and ham croquettes. Mike Russell chose three wonderful Spanish wines that paired with the Tapas dishes and made delicious red Sangria for our sipping pleasure. Most people came dressed in the theme colors of red and black and looked marvelous. We had a fun time with photos taken of us standing behind a screen that made us look like Spanish Flamenco dancers. You can see them on our HP Food and Wine Club Facebook page.
We specifically want to thank our members, mentors, and staff for their contributions to this successful event: Bernie & Cathy Patterson for donation of a case of wine; Elaine Sedlak and Lou Holscher for welcoming guests; Debra Tribbey for her decorating skills that set the Spanish ambience; Chef Josh Farrington for his outstanding gourmet culinary skills; Mike Russell for his skill at choosing the perfect wines; Tina Gordon for her excellent table service; Phyllis Clukey for setting the table linens and the guys who moved tables, chairs and portable walls. Thank you All!
Thank you to Ludwig and Carolyn Wallner for their continuing travels of “The Cork”. We enjoy seeing the interesting places it has been. Photos can be seen on our Facebook page.
Please support Heritage Pines by buying a ticket for the New England Clam Boil Sunset Social on September 7. Tickets are $50.00. Again, this is a unique experience not found locally.

We had five practices scheduled for the month of September. However, we had to cancel our September 8th practice due to Hurricane Irma. Therefore, we only had four practices in September as follows: September 1st, September 15th, September 22nd and September 29th. All practices were held on Fridays at 9 a.m.
Everyone had their usual number of 20 hits for each of their hitting sessions. We have two hitting sessions per player per practice. So, each player has the opportunity to get a total of 40 hits in each of the practices. Since September is still considered a summer month, several (10) of our players are still at their summer homes up North. So, during the summer months, we have been averaging ten players per practice. Ten players per practice times 40 hits per practice gives us a total of 400 fielding opportunities for each practice. This gives the players in the infield and outfield plenty of fielding practice.
The field was always raked and the safety screen for the pitcher was installed for all our practices by the Pasco County Memorial Field maintenance workers.
We have a total of four practices scheduled for October. They are October 6th, October 13th, October 20th and October 27th. Anyone in Heritage Pines who is interested in playing softball can just come to any of our practices at Memorial Field which is left off Little Road on to New York Avenue. Turn right into the practice fields at the Tank monument. We always look forward to seeing all our players every Friday and encourage and welcome new players to join up with us.

ASK THE TECHIE WINDOWS 10 TRAINING CLASS
INVESTMENT CLUB
Q: When I was setting up my new Windows 10 computer I was asked to setup a Microsoft Account. Now I have to enter a password or PIN number every time I turn on my computer. What is the Microsoft Account and can I remove the password to speed up the startup of my computer?
A: Microsoft began adding the Microsoft Account when Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 and continued through Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. The purpose of the account is twofold. If you purchase any APPS (programs) from the Microsoft Store you will need a Microsoft Account to install them even if they are free. In addition, for those of you who have multiple computers, phones or tablets running Windows 8/8.1 or 10 various settings will be saved in your account and become available on these devices. For example, your Desktop Background and Internet Explorer Favorites will be installed automatically on any Windows computer using the same Microsoft Account.
If you want to use the Microsoft Account, you cannot easily disable the login password requirement. I have a tool that does this but it is not normally used by non-technical users. Another option is to switch your login from a Microsoft Account Login to a Local Login which allows the removal of the Login Password requirement. This can be done via the Windows Control Panel. When making the switch to a Local Account you have the option to leave the Password Box empty.
Q: My cable bill seems to increase every year. My neighbor purchased an Amazon Fire TV digital media player (DMP) and has cancelled his cable service. How does this box work and do you recommending I purchase one of these boxes?
A: There are several Digital Media Player (DMP) products available including the Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Roku, YouTube TV and Amazon Fire TV. There are also more comprehensive products that run the Kodi (formerly XBMC) program. These players are single function computers running programs to access movies and TV shows via your Internet connection.
The movies/TV shows are stored online and viewed using programs (APPS) on the DMP. Some of these APPS are free (with ads or limited functionality) or paid subscription. The subscription costs are low but can add up depending on the number of services chosen. I've found that TV shows are available within hours of being shown or the next day. Movies are usually available when the DVD becomes available for purchase or rent. Players running the Kodi program offer free movies of reduced picture quality almost immediately upon release.
The prices for a DMP range from $29 for a basic Roku to $400 for a high end box support Kodi. If you require local TV news and whether you would need an external antenna since none of the DMP boxes supports local live TV. Another advantage of the DMP boxes is their portability. You can take the DMP on vacation or between your Florida and summer homes.

LONG LOST FAMILY – THE DNA CONNECTION
Calling all Family Historians! The Genealogy Club resumes meeting on Saturday, October 14, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Magnolia Room! Genealogy is now moving into the realm of DNA for locating cousins and other lost family members. During the summer, I was contacted by a woman in New York who was adopted as a baby, and she was desperate to find some medical history for her own daughter's sake. Her DNA test proved that she was a third cousin of my husband, Larry, which means a shared great-grandparent. Sure enough, her user name appeared on Larry's list of cousins.
She explained that her adoptive parents were not supportive of her quest to find her mother, so she was working alone. The adoption agency released her birth certificate, but no father was named and her mother's name was withheld. Apparently, the mother had died before signing a release and New York law prevented identifying information to be provided without a signed release, EVEN IF THE BIRTH PARENT WAS DECEASED!
She and I reviewed Larry's tree to give her some names of his family that lived in New York near her birth place. Meanwhile, I called the adoption agency and they confirmed the legal

TENNIS NEWSBy Bill Tory
H.P.T.A. What does it mean to you? The tennis courts and ball machine are amenities provided by the Heritage Pines Community Association and are maintained through the reserve fund. This means that they are paid for using the monthly H.O.A. fees we all pay. Therefore, these amenities belong to all Heritage Pines residents and are available to their guests.
The Tennis Association is comprised of residents who pay the annual $10 membership fee, but it's also much more. It is a group of people dedicated to the sport of Tennis. People who play several times a week in all kinds of weather conditions, eager to meet with their friends and competitors.
From the early days of the Tennis Association, there was an ever increasing supply of new players as the community grew in size and the villages began to fill with new residents. Last year, there were over a hundred homes and villas sold to new owners in our community. Out of more than a hundred new residents, only two have joined the Tennis Association.
The H.P.T.A. means a great way to meet with friends, get great exercise and play a sport that I love. The Tennis Association board is always looking for ways to invite new residents and those residents who have played in the past and would like to start up again. We are always looking for new ideas and input from all our members to accomplish these goals. To me, the H.P.T.A. means enjoying the present and planning for the future. What does it mean to you? We'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas and suggestions.
In other news, hurricane Irma swept through our community last month. We only missed a couple of days of tennis due to the weather and thanks to our Heritage Pines maintenance staff for early preparation, the courts came out undamaged.
Gary Vicarro is looking for tennis players to start a 9 a.m. Saturday morning tennis session. If you are interested playing or just subbing, please contact Gary at [email protected].
This is the October newsletter, that means within the next 60 days our snowbird friends and neighbors will be returning. At that time the tennis courts will begin to fill up and we will be in store for some of the best tennis of the year!

limitations, and even asked me to contact New York legislators to encourage a law change. So, I wrote the Assembly leadership to request a law change. The reply was exciting: a bill had just been passed to do exactly that, and was about to be signed by the Governor! The lady was ecstatic, and is also working on applying for the TLC show “Long Lost Family”, where professional genealogists use their skills to find parents or siblings of adopted people.

WATER AEROBICS: THE NEWWAVE OF WELLNESS?
Finding a cardio activity that you enjoy is an important part of sticking to a weekly fitness routine and achieving your short and long-term wellness goals. These days, many older adults are staving off workout boredom by jumping into the swimming pool.
If you've always had a love for water, aqua aerobics, also known as water aerobics, is a great way to get a full body workout while also taking it easy on your joints.
Water aerobics exercise routines typically involve cardio and strength-training exercises traditionally performed on dry land, only they're done in the safety of the water. This includes walking, jogging, jumping and even using free weights in the pool.
Water provides more resistance than air so your muscles have to work harder in the pool to push against the resistance than they do when you perform land-based exercises. Despite the extra effort, little stress is put on your joints, making aqua aerobics especially attractive to those who suffer from joint-related pain or are recovering from a joint injury or joint replacement surgery.
With the rising popularity of water aerobics, class variations like aqua Zumba, water pilates and pool-based tai chi programs are popping up at pools and community centers across the country.
BUNCO GAMES
DEMOCRATIC CLUB
We are happy to be welcoming back even more of our "snowbirds" to Heritage Pines and to Bunco. Our Bunco games this month of October will be held on Thursday, October 19. The games will start promptly at 6:30 PM in the PAC room so we have plenty of room for all. If you are new to HP and would like to play, Bunco is a very easy dice game to play and there are plenty of people to help you get started. Everyone must bring the appropriate envelopes in order to play. If you have any questions, please contact Linda Russell at 819-3736.
Democratic Club to Welcome Another Candidate in October on Thursday, October 19, 2017 from 4 – 6 p.m. in the Magnolia Room
The Heritage Pines Democratic Club will meet on October 19 at 4 pm in the Magnolia Room. Kelly Smith, a candidate for Pasco County Commissioner, District #2, has been invited to speak to our club.
We want to make a difference in the mid-year elections at the local level, and we need all Democrats who want to help do this! Whether you want to be a part of the action, or just want to check us out, you are welcome. Refreshments will be served, and all Democrats in the community are invited to join us.
For more information, call Rich Cunha at 857-3044, Betty Dean at 869-9033, or Linda Myers at 233-6226.
Contact a pool in your area to find out what classes they offer. And if you're looking for a real challenge, aqua cycling, which is where you pedal an exercise or spin bike in the pool (called a submersible ergocycle which is pedaling on you noodle ) is a great way to incorporate resistance training into your exercise regime.
6 Health Benefits of Water Aerobics
1. Water aerobics build strong bones. Experts agree that regular exercise promotes bone health and is key for the prevention of osteoporosis, a disease that effects 50% of women and 25% of men over age 50. According to the Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA), shallow-water aquatic exercises can help build and maintain bone mass. The AEA recommends doing water aerobics exercises in conjunction with walking, stair climbing and strength training for best results.
2. Water aerobics is good for those with low back pain. The AEA maintains that deep-water training (which is when you have no contact with the pool floor) can benefit those with low back pain because “deep water is a non-impact environment and significantly reduces the compressive load on the spine. Deep water is also very effective for training the core muscles, which is important for proper alignment, good posture and back health.”
Fitness trainer Marietta Mehanni agrees that postural issues are well supported in the water. “Clients often comment on how much better and taller they feel as the water actually creates traction in the joints, including the vertebra of the spine.”
3. Water aerobics reduce arthritis pain. The Arthritis Foundation encourages water exercises, asserting that something as simple as walking in water can help arthritis patients move easier with less joint pain, and feel stronger and more flexible. In fact, the foundation's AEA-managed aquatic program offers, “classes designed specifically for individuals with arthritis, related rheumatic diseases and musculoskeletal conditions,” says Julie See, AEA's director of education.
People with arthritis or pain aren't the only ones who can benefit from water exercise. Doing at least two and a half hours of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise—like water aerobics—can help protect you against heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. Bonus: It can improve your mood.
4. Water aerobics help with recovery after hip replacement surgery. In one past study researchers found that an inpatient aquatic physiotherapy program had a positive effect on early recovery of hip strength after joint replacement surgery. The positive effects largely stemmed from the buoyancy of water, which reduced body weight up to 80%, placing less stress on healing joints.
5. Water aerobics burn calories. While water aerobics exercises may burn fewer calories than a land-based workout, you'll still reap rewards. According to statistics, “a 60-minute workout in the water can burn between 350 to 500 calories.” Deep water aerobics can burn up to 800 calories.
6. Water aerobics' group environment is a great motivator. There's no question water aerobics is a social experience. An AARP survey studying the exercise attitude and behaviors of adults between the ages of 50 to 79 found that older adults are

more likely to maintain their fitness programs if they'd committed to an exercise group or trainer.
Jacqueline Pattman, national chair for the Aquatic Therapy Association of Chartered Physiotherapists agrees with the findings. “The peer support that people gain by working with others in the water is very valuable in ensuring they stay motivated and have a sense of belonging.”
Aqua Aerobics Tips
Before you dive in, here are two tips to consider:
1. Wear water aerobics shoes. While the impact on weight-bearing joints is greatly reduced in the pool, you will still experience some impact stress. Mehanni suggests wearing water aerobic shoes or non-slip socks for added cushioning, shock absorption and comfort. “If you require arch and foot support in everyday life, you'll likely require the same when exercising in the pool,” she says.
2. Stay hydrated. Though water cools the body more effectively than air, you will still perspire during vigorous water aerobics routines. Because of this fluid loss, Pattman recommends drinking water after your pool session. Re-hydrating will also help prevent overheating, muscle cramps and heat stroke.

Redefining the Concept of Personalized Care
“His caring bedside manner and conservative treatment options put me quickly at ease…Dr. Higgins' staff complements him as well by presenting themselves as a well-oiled machine.” – Valerie C.
During the first appointment…unlike what I have experienced in other offices the nurse did not turn her back to me while asking questions but continued to smile and worked to maintain eye contact while writing notes for my chart. When Dr. Higgins entered the room, he answered all the questions I had, and many I had not thought to ask. I never felt rushed so he could get to his next patient or bullied into a particular treatment option.” – Kristen J.S.
There is so much more to being anorthopaedic surgeon than
holding a scalpel.
