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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
CHASE THANKS<br />
Many thanks to all my well-wishers for their cards,<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
spot in front of the Pro Shop during the summer while<br />
she wasn’t here.<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.
