MARCH 2018

HOOTS OF THE MONTH

Meet YVONNE & RICHARD EHMER: They were both born and raised in Queens, N.Y. Richard went to St. Mary's grammar school in Flushing, N.Y. and St. Mary's High School in Manhasset, N.Y. Yvonne went to Immaculate Conception grammar school in Jamaica Estates, N.Y. and Jamaica High School in Jamaica, N.Y. After Richard graduated from high school he joined the Navy in 1955. After graduation, Yvonne entered a nursing program at NY Foundling Hospital. She had a roommate who said her brother was in the Navy, stationed in Hawaii and asked her to write to him. When he came home on leave they started dating and were married in September of 1959 while he was stationed in Charleston, S.C.

Richard decided to leave the Navy in 1960 and enter the business world. They soon were the parents of 2 boys and 1 girl. Yvonne stayed at home until they were all in school, then she decided to work for Continental Airlines in reservations at La Guardia Airport. When the reservations department closed, she interviewed for a clerical position. Richard worked for Amerford Air Cargo for 23 years and took "early-out". He decided he wanted to live in a warmer climate either Arizona, or Florida. They decided on Florida and in 1992 Yvonne was able to transfer to Tampa. By 1993 Richard had sold the house in Flushing and also moved down to Tampa.

Richard worked as a Sky Cap at the airport for several years, then worked at Adventure Island for 10 years until he retired in 2016. Yvonne retired from Continental Airlines in 2004. She worked then at Curves, a gym for women for several years.

They are still living in the townhouse they bought in 1995. They enjoy vacations and visits with their children, their spouses and their seven grandchildren. Richard enjoys reading, sports and bowling. Yvonne enjoys early morning walks, Line Dancing, BUNCO, volunteering at the Kaye Prox Food Bank and meeting people.

They both enjoy traveling,

cruises, day trips and are

looking forward to a trip to

Ireland at the end of March.

Jun 6, Wed – Tour $6 Million Renovated Tampa Theatre @ $14 9:15 AM County Bus departs Park for downtown and a tour of partially restored Tampa

theatre. Estimated return 3 PM) Tampa Theatre has always been described as beautiful, but you should see it after its

Phase One $6 million dollar, six-week restoration project. Can you say “beautiful-er” ? The seats are softer, the aisles are wider, the colors are brighter and so are the lights. We’ll enjoy a guided tour but there is still no elevator, so stairs must be climbed to enjoy

the balcony. Stairs might be worth the challenge - that’s where you hear tales about the ghosts. If stairs are a no-go, you can hear most of that part of the tour from the orchestra level. And for the finale, we’ll have our own private concert by one of the theatre’s organists on the Mighty Wurlitzer organ.

Just down the street, another restoration project is our destination for a Dutch-treat lunch. The Heights Market is the new name for the historic Tampa Armature Works building where a wide variety of food is served by various vendors - Japanese noodles, breakfast all day, wood-fired pizza, deli sandwiches & salads, barbeque, coffee & tea bar, ice cream and even a fresh produce stand.

Contact: Gail Wise (813) 935-3344 – Payment covers tour & reserves your spot on the bus!

NEWSOMEYENEWSMARCH 2018

Q: I was recently diagnosed with the beginning symptoms of AMD. What are some things I can do that will help my vision?A: Age Related Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in adults over the age of 60. You may have noticed a slight loss of your central vision, as this disease affects the macula which is in turn responsible for central vision and allows fine details to be clearly seen. There are a few things that may help slow the progression of the AMD. Antioxidant vitamins and zinc supplementation, as well as consuming dark leafy greens are helpful steps you can take day-to-day. Also, keeping an Amsler-Grid at home to regularly check your vision will help you determine if your sight begins to worsen. For severe vision loss, there are treatments including injections and laser surgery. Talk with your Newsom Eye doctor about these treatments to determine which is best for you.Dr. El-Jabali
