LAKE FAIRWAYS<br />

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE<br />

By: John & Judy Stewart, Co-Chairs<br />

With so much activity going on, where do we start?<br />

Jimmy Travis, a great comedian and wonderful singer,<br />

was a huge success; we all laughed until tears rolled<br />

down our cheeks!<br />

As we write this, we are looking forward to our<br />

Sweetheart Dinner Dance. We are so excited to be<br />

bringing Mike Imbasciani to <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong>! He is such<br />

a dynamic young talent!<br />

Tickets for the Van Dells sold out the first morning<br />

sales began. Thank you, <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong>, for such great<br />

support! We know this show will not disappoint.<br />

Some of the members of the Entertainment Committee<br />

have had the opportunity to attend some talent<br />

showcases in order to continue to bring great acts to<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong>. They have also attended some shows in<br />

other communities and arenas in the area. While the<br />

shows have been good, it became obvious that we get<br />

much more “bang for our buck” at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong>. The<br />

prices are generally the same as ours, but for your<br />

money, you get a seat at a reserved table, or in some<br />

instances, first come, first seated and all were “bring<br />

your own food and drink.” Once again, proving that<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> is the place to be!!<br />

Our next fun event will be the St. Patrick’s Day<br />

Dinner Dance on <strong>March</strong> 16, <strong>2013</strong>. Tickets are on sale<br />

now at just $18 per person (call Judy 896-5157).<br />

Corned beef and cabbage with all the traditional trimmings<br />

will be served by the ever popular Sub N Pub!<br />

Additional corned beef will be available for purchase.<br />

Music for dancing will be provided by Renee & Company,<br />

a very talented husband and wife duo. For an evening<br />

of great food and dancing fun: Come, wear your<br />

green and be Irish for a day, or wear your green and<br />

watch the antics of those who are Irish. Sometimes the<br />

apparel is as much fun as Halloween! Either way, you<br />

won’t want to miss the fun!<br />

It’s hard to believe that our season will be coming<br />

to a close at the end of this month. Our annual Pool<br />

Party will be on Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 24, <strong>2013</strong> from noon<br />

until 3pm, rain or shine. We will be serving Belly Busters,<br />

Tacos in a Bag, Chips, soft drinks and beer. Games<br />

will be played, but the big question is: Will Mike<br />

Rendine retain his title as Mr. Sexy Legs?<br />

We are in the process of selecting new members<br />

for next year’s Entertainment Committee. If you were<br />

unable to attend our open house and would like to be<br />

considered as a committee member, please contact<br />

one of our existing members who are:<br />

Bob & Freda Bennett, Nick & Marilyn Bialkowski,<br />

Keith & Marty Clapp, Roger Easden, Corinne Fisher,<br />

Bob & Pat Garin, Linda Lindequist, Jackie Rabenowich,<br />

Pete & Judy Schumaker, John & Judy Stewart (Co-<br />

Chairs), Frank & Sue Sullivan<br />

social hour with laughter, stories and drinks. The meeting<br />

opened with Valentine greetings to all. Marilyn<br />

Stone, Mickey Casciano, and Terry Kline. A $20.00 gift<br />

dinner, Audrey Rolland.<br />

Dinner by Sub N Pub followed. The menu consisted<br />

of salad, chicken cordon blue, dressing ,Two veggies,<br />

rolls and coffee with Valentine cup cakes. Following<br />

dinner, the Bayshore Cloggers walked in with their<br />

usual beautiful costumes and smiling faces. They were<br />

ready to perform for us and gave us an excellent show.<br />

The audience clapped and cheered them on. They<br />

were really enjoyed by all.<br />

Our next meeting will be <strong>March</strong> 12 th . As we all<br />

know we celebrate a special occasion called St Patrick’s<br />

Day. Our dinner by Sub N Pub will feature Corned Beef,<br />

IT WAS NOT THE SENIORS!.<br />

I got an email today from Facebook telling me<br />

about the notifications I missed today. Great, now my<br />

Facebook is set to "nag" ! Senior citizens are constantly<br />

being criticized for every conceivable deficiency<br />

of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we<br />

take responsibility for all we have done and do not<br />

blame others.<br />

HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point<br />

out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took:<br />

The melody out of music,<br />

The pride out of appearance,<br />

The courtesy out of driving,<br />

The romance out of love,<br />

The commitment out of marriage,<br />

The responsibility out of parenthood,<br />

The togetherness out of the family,<br />

The learning out of education,<br />

The service out of patriotism,<br />

The Golden Rule from rulers,<br />

The nativity scene out of cities,<br />

The civility out of behavior,<br />

The refinement out of language,<br />

The dedication out of employment,<br />

The prudence out of spending,<br />

The ambition out of achievement or-<br />

GOD out of government and school.<br />

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated<br />

patience and tolerance from personal relationships and<br />

interactions with others!!<br />

LAKE FAIRWAYS 5-O


By: Adam Hromiak<br />

INVESTING IS A MARATHON -- NOT A SPRINT<br />

Investors sometimes may get frustrated with their investments because those investments don’t seem to produce<br />

quick results. Perhaps that’s understandable in our fast-paced society, in which we’ve grown accustomed to instant<br />

gratification. But investing is, by nature, a long-term activity. If you look at it in terms of an athletic event, it’s not a<br />

sprint, in which you must pull out all the stops to quickly get where you’re going. Instead, it’s more like the 26.2-mile<br />

race known as a marathon.<br />

And as an investor, you can learn a few things from marathoners, such as:<br />

Preparation — No one gets up one day and is ready to run a marathon. Marathon runners train for months, and<br />

even years. As an investor, you, too, need to prepare yourself for the “long run.” How? By learning as much as you can<br />

about different asset classes, types of risk and all the other factors associated with investing.<br />

Patience — Marathoners know they have a long haul in front of them, so they typically create a “game plan” — one<br />

that takes into account such factors as their physical condition, the weather on race day and the characteristics of the<br />

course, such as whether it’s hilly or flat. Investors should also create a strategy — one that encompasses their goals and<br />

ways of working toward them — and stick to this strategy.<br />

Perseverance — Marathoners may deal with injuries, dehydration and other setbacks, either while training or during<br />

the actual race. But as long as they’re able to keep going, they do so. As an investor, you too will face obstacles, such<br />

as market downturns. But as long as you continue investing and don’t head to the “sidelines,” you have a good chance<br />

of making progress toward your goals.<br />

Vision — Marathoners study the course they’re on, so they know what’s ahead — and where they’re going. As an<br />

investor, you also need a vision of what lies in front of you — the number of years until your retirement, the type of<br />

retirement lifestyle you anticipate, what sort of legacy you plan to leave, and so on. Your vision will help drive your<br />

investment decisions.<br />

Proper coaching — Not all marathoners have individual coaches, but many have at least gone to clinics or joined<br />

running clubs so they could learn more about the various aspects of this grueling event. As an investor, you can<br />

certainly benefit from guidance or “coaching” in the form of a financial professional — someone who knows your<br />

individual needs, goals and risk tolerance, and who has the experience to make recommendations that are appropriate<br />

for your situation.<br />

Every marathoner is familiar with the difficulties of the challenge and the satisfaction of finishing the race. As an<br />

investor, you also will be tested many times. Furthermore, you’ll never really cross the “finish line” because you’ll always<br />

have goals toward which you’ll be working. Yet, by emulating the traits of successful marathoners, you can continue<br />

working toward your objectives — and perhaps you’ll avoid the blisters, too.<br />

CELL PHONES<br />

AND OLD GLASSES<br />

By: George Schudel<br />

OLD CELL PHONES<br />

I am sorry to say that I am no longer<br />

collecting old cell phones for the BVA. The<br />

program is being dropped by the BVA. I<br />

want to thank all of you who have given<br />

your old phones to us.<br />

Yes, I still am collecting complete<br />

glasses for the N. Ft. Myers Noon Lions. We<br />

do not use broken ones or any with no<br />

lenses or lens only. These glasses are sent<br />

to Orlando, FL where they read the prescription,<br />

clean them, and repackage each pair in an individual<br />

bag.<br />

They are then ready to be used by any Lion's Club.<br />

PENNIES FOR POSSIBILITIES<br />

By: Kelly Jo Myers-Madoian, 567-1561<br />

Donate your pennies to help students with developmental<br />

disabilities at Goodwill L.I.F.E. Academy and<br />

Riverdale High School.<br />

"Pennies for Possibilities" teaches<br />

students to count, to save money, and<br />

to identify coins by collecting pennies,<br />

one-penny-at-a-time. The students set<br />

goals and understand the meaning of<br />

saving towards that goal. All the pennies<br />

(100%) are used to pay for community-based<br />

trips.<br />

So if you have a penny sitting around, Kelly Jo is<br />

collecting them for her students. You can contribute<br />

pennies at Saturday morning coffee.<br />

So please keep them coming! COUPONS FOR<br />

WITH SINCERE GRATITUDE<br />

From Pat Strong<br />

On February 5 th Richard (Dick) Strong passed<br />

away at Gulf Coast Medical Center after suffering a<br />

massive heart attack at the age of 67. The amazing<br />

staff at Gulf Coast tried everything known to medical<br />

science to save him; however, the damage was too<br />

great. God called him home and made a new angel<br />

that day.<br />

During the 4½ days that Dick struggled to live I<br />

was never alone. Our wonderful extended Lime<br />

<strong>Lake</strong>, NY, family of friends and our other dear<br />

friends that came to visit never left me alone. To<br />

them, I say, "I Love You.” To my daughter, Tami<br />

and our nieces, Kathy, Krissy, and Steffie who flew<br />

in to take care of me, I say, "I Love You.” To our<br />

friends since our military years in Germany 44 years<br />

ago, who also kept me company in the hospital, I<br />

say, "I Love You and will really miss our double deck<br />

Pinochle battles.” To our Lions Club community of<br />

friends that came to celebrate Dick's life and perform<br />

the Empty Table Ceremony, I say, "I am so<br />

fortunate to have you in my life.” To Barb Grant, I<br />

say, "Your prayer touched all of our hearts.” To the<br />

amazing staff at Gulf Coast Medical Center who are,<br />

by far, the most loving, compassionate and amazing<br />

clinical staff I have ever met, I say, "Thank You<br />

from the bottom of my heart.” To Bob and Marie<br />

Sickles, your daughter, Sharon, helped me in more<br />

10<br />

ways that I can say with her frank honesty when all<br />

others tried to skirt around the inevitable. She eased<br />

my breaking heart. To our dear friends at Pine <strong>Lake</strong>s<br />

that filled my refrigerator with ham and turkey, I<br />

say, "I Love You." To Jim Hayes, who took care of<br />

all the final arrangements, I say, "I could never have<br />

gotten through all of that without you, your gentleness<br />

made things so much easier.”<br />

To the bowlers on Friday afternoon, I say, "Dick<br />

is bowling a 300 game everyday.”<br />

To the golfers, I say, "Dick is hitting and putting<br />

like never before and scoring 10 under par each<br />

game'.<br />

To the Texas Hold'em players, I say, "Dick has<br />

pocket aces, one showing on the table and the river<br />

is the Ace of Hearts and he has gone 'all in'. Read<br />

them and weep.”<br />

To all the night owls that come through the front<br />

gate late at night, I hope that you always got a<br />

smile and cheerful greeting.<br />

We were so fortunate to have found such kind<br />

and fun loving new friends at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong>. Your<br />

phone calls and cards have helped to ease the pain<br />

a little.<br />

Dick will be laid to rest at the Bay Pines National<br />

Veterans Cemetery in St. Petersburg on the grounds<br />

of the Veterans Administration Hospital and Regional<br />

Office (Dick worked for the VA for 37 years) with the<br />

American Legion performing the Missing Soldier Ceremony<br />

sometime in April.<br />

Retired Health Message<br />

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of<br />

the world, I rapidly realized that I don’t really give a<br />

rat’s hinny. It’s the tortoise life for me!<br />

1. If walking is good for your health, the postman<br />

would be immortal.<br />

2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, and drinks<br />

water, and is fat.<br />

3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.<br />

4. A tortoise doesn’t run and does nothing, yet it lives<br />

for 450 years. And you tell me to exercise?? I don’t<br />

think so.<br />

I’m retired. Go around me.<br />

God grant me the senility to forget the people I<br />

never liked, and the good fortune to run into the ones I<br />

do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.<br />

Now that I’m older here’s what I’ve discovered<br />

1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of<br />

it.<br />

2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and all-bran.<br />

3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is<br />

falling apart.<br />

4. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.<br />

5. Funny. I don’t remember being absent-minded.<br />

6. If all is not lost, where is it?<br />

7. It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.<br />

8. Some days, you’re the dog; some days you’re the<br />

hydrant.<br />

9. I wish the the buck stopped here; I sure could use<br />

a few.<br />

10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.<br />

11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.<br />

12. It’s hard to make a comeback when you haven’t<br />

been anywhere.<br />

13. The only time the world beats a path to your door<br />

is when you’re in the bathroom.<br />

14. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he’d have put<br />

them on my knees.<br />

15. When I’m finally holding all the cards, why does<br />

everyone want to play dominos?<br />

16. It’s not hard to meet expenses… they’re everywhere.<br />

17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is<br />

the depth.<br />

18. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about<br />

the hereafter… I go somewhere to get something,<br />

and then wonder what I’m hereafter.<br />

19. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.<br />

LADIES 9-HOLE<br />

people competing against each other to reach the<br />

playoffs on the 2nd and 3rd. Good luck to all!<br />

TAI CHI<br />

By Sally Mason<br />

It has been a wonderful year for<br />

our group of Tai Chi “Grasshoppers.”<br />

We had the advantage of one of our own, Pat Hutz,<br />

bringing us encouragement and new information after<br />

attending the Taoist International Center in Orangeville,<br />

Ontario last summer. Testimonials of people who<br />

have improved their ability to move and gain strength<br />

and health were inspirational to Pat and for the rest<br />

of us as she relayed the stories.<br />

When I was ill with the flu, the group carried on<br />

like troupers. This really pleases me as it shows that<br />

everyone is becoming more confident and not afraid<br />

to step up to the task. Our group is growing and new<br />

members are always welcomed and looked after.<br />

Since there is no fee, no mats or special clothing<br />

needed, Tai Chi is a wonderful practice for those who<br />

seek better core strength, balance and improvement<br />

in joint function.<br />

We meet at 9:30 AM on M-W-F. The first 30+<br />

minutes is a series of fundamental exercises that<br />

gently warm up muscles and joints. It is much like<br />

Simon Says and easy to follow and learn. Most have<br />

20 repetitions and concentrate on breathing, keeping<br />

proper posture, and body awareness. We do these<br />

with background music as it helps with blocking out<br />

extraneous noise and improves the feeling of moving<br />

in unison. Since balance is a major problem for folks<br />

“our” age, there is considerable emphasis on<br />

strengthening leg muscles and learning to shift weight<br />

from one foot to the other to stay centered. The last<br />

half of the session is the 108 move set. We have<br />

background music and voice commands to help us<br />

remember what comes next. After the directed set, a<br />

group of us works on doing the set without commands<br />

in silence. We are encouraged, seems our<br />

memory is improving!<br />

Please feel free to come and participate or just<br />

watch as we Grasp Birds Tail, Carry Tiger to the<br />

Mountain, Move Hands Like Clouds, Part the Wild<br />

Horse’s Mane, etc.<br />

MaryJane Harris Vice President<br />

On February 9th, the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong><br />

tennis courts were a sea of "RED.” Everyone<br />

was dressed in RED for Valentine's Day. The day<br />

was bright with glorious sunlight..... a sight for sore<br />

eyes as our Northerners were concerned about their<br />

family and friends stuck up North. The North was<br />

experiencing a blizzard, called Nemo.<br />

The 32 players started play at 8:40 AM and were<br />

finished by 1:30 PM. A lunch of hotdogs and all of the<br />

fixings was cooked by our cook, Bob Harris.<br />

The Grand winners of the day, winning a free<br />

lunch at the next Round Robin were Roger Easden and<br />

Bill Fitzgerald who tied with 11 wins. The lady with the<br />

most wins was Marlene Otte, she also won a free<br />

lunch.<br />

The other winners were Carol Stevenson, Barbara<br />

Flournoy, Bob Mobley, Paul Norris, Judy Judge and<br />

Ron Hasse.<br />

The Next Round Robin will be held on <strong>March</strong><br />

A HISTORY OF<br />

LAKE FAIRWAYS SOFTBALL<br />

By: Bill Mason<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> native son Jim Steele was instrumental<br />

in organizing what we now know as the Mark<br />

Ford Senior Softball League and served as President<br />

the first year. In the early nineties Jim wrote letters to<br />

Del Tura, Tara Woods, and Horizon to see if there was<br />

an interest in forming a softball league consisting of<br />

surrounding communities. After the original letters of<br />

inquiry were written, those interested were invited to<br />

an organizational meeting at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong>. A schedule<br />

was developed, permission to use the lighted field near<br />

Sun Coast School was granted by the Lee County Recreation<br />

Department, and an entry fee was established.<br />

Del Tura Amigos won the first championship of the<br />

newly formed 7 team league. On November 5, 1992<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> played its very first game and defeated<br />

Tara Woods 17 to 2! An estimated 200 spectators<br />

watched Bob Dreyer do the “Australian Crawl into<br />

home.” Dave Yohn and Larry Knowlton blasted home<br />

runs and Marty Barrett legged out a triple. The concept<br />

of cheerleaders was initiated and has stayed active<br />

with the team every year. At the conclusion of the season,<br />

there was a banquet at Tara Woods and Jim<br />

Steele served as master of ceremonies. The cheerleaders<br />

met at Jim’s house and made softball themed book<br />

marks for all in attendance.<br />

In 1994 Sabal Springs and Pine <strong>Lake</strong>s joined the<br />

league. Pine <strong>Lake</strong>s and <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> both held practices<br />

on the driving range. Two four team divisions<br />

were formed, and Del Tura was once again champion.<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> finished with a record of 8 wins and 11<br />

losses. The League Banquet was held in the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong><br />

clubhouse with 220 players, wives, cheerleaders,<br />

umpires, and fans in attendance.<br />

Two of the best players of the early years were Gil<br />

Flauto and Ted Tetreault. Gil is our only player with pro<br />

baseball experience, having played Class D ball with<br />

Independence, Kansas against Mickey Mantle, who


played for Joplin, MO.<br />

Mark Ford, who helped organize and develop the<br />

league, thought that the champs should have a trophy,<br />

so he generously donated one. He was the manager of<br />

Del Tura, and the league was named in his honor after<br />

he passed away in 1995. <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> finished in 2 nd<br />

place with a 10 win and 4 loss record. Ken Palazzo was<br />

the manager for our 1 st three years.<br />

In 1996 Marty Barrett took over as manager of the<br />

so-called “Ben Gay” boys. <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> again came in<br />

2 nd place in the first year of playing games in Cape Coral<br />

at the Northwest Softball Complex.<br />

The information gets a bit sketchy, but it is known<br />

that Marty Barrett was the manager during the 1996,<br />

1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 seasons. In the 2000 season<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> one 3 and lost 18. Leading hitters<br />

were David Shultz. 609 and Jerry Amstutz.600.<br />

Jim Dinsmore became manager in 2001 and led the<br />

team to 14 wins and 7 losses. Shortstop David Shultz<br />

led the team with a.742 batting average and set the all<br />

time <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> homerun record with 8. Although<br />

he only played one year, the consensus among the “old<br />

timers” is that outfielder Gene Storey is the best player<br />

to ever suit up for <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong>. While playing against<br />

Herons Glen, manager Dinsmore made a strategic<br />

move and switched Gene from left field to right field<br />

with a tying run on 3 rd base, 1 out, and a left hand batter<br />

coming up. The batter hit a line shot to right, Gene<br />

caught it, and made a great throw to catcher Bob<br />

Dreyer for the last out. <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> won the game 9<br />

to 8, ending Herons Glen’s 44 game winning streak.<br />

In 2002 “Dizzy’s” team finished with 18 wins and 5<br />

losses. David Shultz again led the team with a .672<br />

average.<br />

Keith Oldham assumed the manager position in<br />

2003 and had a record of 7 wins and 9 losses. Jerry<br />

Albee lead the hitters at.628, and Wayne Kidd hit.564.<br />

Keith improved the team to a 12 win and 6 loss<br />

record in 2004. Beef O’ Brady’s became the post game<br />

“hot spot” to appease the wives, and Keith accepted<br />

their offer to sponsor us. Leading hitters were Ken Etycheson.629,<br />

Don Stargell.585, Dan Girard.561, Tony<br />

Emanuele.551, Gary Bender.542, Scott Werling.510.<br />

In 2005 Jim Dinsmore returned to the manager’s<br />

position and led the team to a 12 win and 7 loss season.<br />

Outstanding players on that team were shortstop<br />

Tony “Silk” Emanuele and pitcher Kenny “Quickpitch”<br />

Eytcheson. “Silk” hit for power and a high average and<br />

had an outstanding arm. “Quick Pitch” hurled an unheard<br />

of 3 shutouts that season. The most noteworthy<br />

development of the season was the rotating post Beef<br />

O’ Brady’s Crown Royal parties initiated by “Founding<br />

Father” Art Klaviter.<br />

In 2006 manager Dinsmore’s team finished in 2 nd<br />

place with a record of 14 wins and 4 losses. Leading<br />

hitters that season were “Quick Pitch” Eytcheson.628,<br />

“Hammer” Mason.583, “Silk” Emanuele.556, “Scrap<br />

Iron” Werling.553, “Puck” McNamara.510.<br />

17<br />

In 2007, manager Jim Dinsmore’s final season,<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> again finished in 2 nd place with a record<br />

of 16 wins and 4 losses. Leading batters in manager<br />

Dinsmore’s lineup were “Poopsie” Albee.551, Angelo<br />

DelValle.542, “Roadrunner” Shultz.511. At the end of<br />

the season, a softball committee was formed to provide<br />

some needed structure to the team. Members of the<br />

first group were manager “Scrap Iron” Werling, “Quick<br />

Pitch” Eytcheson, “Roadrunner” Shultz, “Puck”<br />

McNamara, “Hammer” Mason.<br />

In 2008 Scott “Scrap Iron” Werling became playermanager.<br />

The team finished in 2 nd place with a record<br />

of 17 wins and 3 losses. Leading hitter were Tom<br />

“Smooth” Dabbs.643, David “Roadrunner” Shultz.635,<br />

Tony “Silk” Emanuele.619. The softball committee<br />

members took on defined rolls this season. “Scrap<br />

Iron” Werling was in charge of selecting players for the<br />

team, making batting lineups, and all things game related.<br />

“Scrap Iron” was also responsible for bidding the<br />

house painting jobs and organizing the crews. “Quick<br />

Pitch” Eytcheson assumed the duties of chairman.<br />

“Roadrunner” Shultz, as social chairman, searched for<br />

post game restaurants and sponsors, and organized<br />

team parties. “Puck” McNamara was responsible for<br />

organizing set-up and clean-up crews for group events<br />

at the club house. “Hammer” Mason was the uniform<br />

and equipment procurer, Informer news correspondent,<br />

and team Historian. “FF” Klaviter came on board<br />

as Treasurer for the group.<br />

Scrap Iron’s 2009 team again finished with a record<br />

of 17 wins and 3 losses. Newcomer Jerry “Rifle”<br />

Kelly led the hitters with a.698 average. “Smooth”<br />

Dabbs finished at.611.<br />

Another 2 nd place finish occurred in 2010. “Scrap<br />

Iron’s” charges won 15 and lost 3. Pounding the ball at<br />

a.721 clip, George Sams led the hitters. “Smooth”<br />

Dabbs slugged out a.627 average.<br />

2011 turned out to be player-manager “Scrap Iron”<br />

Werling’s last year as manager. For the 6 th year in a<br />

row <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Fairways</strong> finished in 2 nd place with a record of<br />

17 wins and 3 losses. Leading hitters were “Smooth”<br />

Dabbs.610, “Rifle” Kelly.571, “Scrap Iron” Werling.560.<br />

“Redman” Kraby joined the committee as the new setup<br />

and clean-up contact person. “General” McReelis<br />

took charge of the painting team.<br />

Wayne “Captain” Kidd assumed the managerial<br />

reins in 2012 and led the team to 16 wins and 3 losses,<br />

good for a 3 rd place finish. Leading batters were “Scuba<br />

Honey” Huss.621, “Woodrow” Bender.595, “Ace” Durbin.583,<br />

“Scrap Iron” Werling.566. The highlight of the<br />

season was beating the Rookies 3 to 2 and ending their<br />

59 game winning streak.<br />

A “Big Thank You” goes out to Jim Steele, Keith<br />

Oldham, and Nancy Dreyer for their help in gathering<br />

information and “FF” Klaviter for publishing.<br />

With such great participation plus donations, we<br />

sent a check to the Rally for $2600.<br />

So many to thank such as:<br />

Betty Fox for sitting in the cold for both the 18 hole<br />

and 9 hole ladies to give out balls to those who got on<br />

the 7 th green plus the measuring for who was the closest.<br />

Mary Jane Gagnier for auctioning off her parking<br />

Don Sbabo for taking pictures and also helping to<br />

organize them.<br />

Mary McLimans for making and donating the beautiful<br />

Did You Know?...Medicare doesn’t pay<br />

for Long-Term Care<br />

PLANNING FOR LONG-TERM CARE<br />

Long-term care includes medical and non-medical care<br />

for people who have a chronic illness or disability.<br />

Non-medical care includes non-skilled personal care<br />

assistance, such as help with everyday activities, like<br />

dressing, bathing, and using the bathroom. At least<br />

70% of people over 65 will need long-term care services<br />

at some point. Medicare and most health insurance<br />

plans, including Medicare Supplement Insurance<br />

(Medigap) policies don’t pay for this type of<br />

care, also called “custodial care.” Medicare only<br />

pays for medi- cally-necessary skilled nursing facility<br />

care or home health care if you meet certain conditions.<br />

Long-term care can be provided at home, in the community,<br />

in assisted living, or in a nursing home. It’s<br />

important to start planning for long-term care now to<br />

maintain your independence and to make sure you get<br />

the care you may need in the future.<br />

PAYING FOR LONG-TERM CARE<br />

Long-term Care Insurance – This type of private insur-<br />

ance policy can help pay for many types of long-term<br />

care, including both skilled and non-skilled (custodial)<br />

care. Long-term care insurance can vary widely. Some<br />

policies may cover only nursing home care. Others<br />

may include coverage for a range of services, like adult<br />

day care, assisted living, medical equipment, and infor-<br />

mal home care. Note: Long-term care insurance<br />

doesn’t replace your Medicare coverage.<br />

Your current or former employer or union may offer<br />

long-term care insurance. Current and retired Federal<br />

employees, active and retired members of the uni-<br />

formed services, and their qualified relatives can apply<br />

for coverage under the Federal Long-term Care Insur-<br />

ance Program.<br />

Personal Resources – You can use your savings to pay<br />

for long-term care. Some insurance companies let you<br />

use your life insurance policy to pay for long-term<br />

care. ASK YOUR INSURANCE AGENT HOW<br />

THIS<br />

WORKS.<br />

Other Private Options – Besides long-term care insur-<br />

ance and personal resources, you may choose to pay for<br />

long-term care through a trust or annuity. The best option<br />

for you depends on your age, health status, risk of<br />

needing long-term care, and your personal financial<br />

situation. (Taken from the 2012 Medicare & You Hand-<br />

book)<br />

I can offer many different options for covering your<br />

long-term care needs. Contact Kathy Thousand, a con-<br />

tracted, licensed insurance sales agent, at (239) 851-<br />

7457, email me at kathy@851-7457.com, or visit my<br />

website at www.851-7457.com. Next month we’ll<br />

talk about Extra Help paying for Medicare prescription<br />

drug coverage.
