Dear.Anne,We. are. snowbirds. and. just.returned. back. to. Florida.. What.should. we. do,. or. not. do. in. our.yard.and.garden.at. this. time.of.year?.Anneswer:This. year. has. been. unusually.warm.. . One. key. thing. to.remember. is. that. these. overly.warm. temperatures. result. in.significantly.dryer.conditions..You.must.monitor.your.newly.installed.plants.as.well.as.your.established.plants.for.drought.stress..This.drought. stress.can. result. in.greyish. leaf. color,.wilting. leaves.and. wilting. flowers.. To. correct.this.your.plants.should.be.“deep.watered”. as. necessary.. Deep.watering. is. defined. as. applying.water. very. slowly. with. a. hose.trickling. over. a. several. hours.so. that. the. entire. root. ball. gets.totally. wet,. even. in. the. center..Most. irrigation. systems. are.

designed. to.apply.about.a.half.inch. of. surface. water. to. lawn.grass.. During. periods. of. little.rainfall,. this. is.not.enough.water.to. reach. deeper. seeding. roots..Citrus.trees.especially.need.to.be.monitored.since.they.will.soon.be.flowering.. If.we. have.any. really.cold.weather. you.may.want. to.over-seed.your. lawn.grass. since.it. may. have. turned. brown. and.become. dormant.. Now. is. the.time.to.apply.an.over-seeding.of.winter. rye. grass.. Do. not. double.seed..Follow.package.directions.because. too. much. seed. will.cause. fungus. problems. in. the.existing. lawn. grass.. Citrus. can.be. lightly. pruned. to. remove.damaged.leaves.caused.by.leaf.miners..The.trees.will.soon.re-flush.and.flower.again..You.can.cut.off.any.old.crape.myrtle. blooms,. but. wait. until.February. to. do. your. major.pruning..Roses.should.be.trimmed.by. one-third. then. fertilized.. Also.in. February. you. should.cut. your.tea.roses.back.by.two-thirds.then.fertilize..If.you.have.azaleas.or.gardenias.be. sure. to.correct. the. soil’s.P.H..for. the. best. flowering.. If. your.plants.are.yellowing. it. is.a.good.bet. that.your.P.H.. is.higher. than.seven..No.iron.is.available.for.the.plant.if.the.P.H..is.ever.above.six.and.a.half.. I. like.to.use.pelleted.sulfur.that.releases.slowly.to.lower.the. P.H.. Then. any. good. quality.balanced. fertilizer. with. minor.elements.will.work.well.once.the.

P.H..is.lowered.Winter. is. a. great. time. for.vegetables.and.herbs,.IF.you.pick.the. right. ones!. Try. vegetables.like. cabbage,. Brussels. sprouts,.broccoli,. cauliflower,. collards,.beets,. carrots,. lettuce,. chives,.onions,. peas,. and. radishes..Tomatoes.are.cold. sensitive.but.worth. the. trouble. if. you.protect.them. on. the. colder. nights. with.a. proper. covering. of. plastic.over. cloth.. The. plastic. must. go.all. the. way. to. the. ground. and.be. fastened.down.with.weights.

or. ground. staples. to. trap. the.radiating. heat. from. the. earth.below.. Cool. season. herbs.include. cilantro,. parsley,. sage,.fennel,. rosemary,. and. sweet.marjoram.. Thyme. and. dill. also.enjoy.the.colder.weather.

Submitted.by..Rev..Dr..Warren.LangerA. popular. practice. in.December. is. to.create.a. list.of.New.Year.resolutions.to.improve.one’s. life. for. the. upcoming.year...One.of.the.most.popular.resolutions.is.to.lose.weight...With.over.2/3.of.all.Americans.being.overweight. this. is.an. important.goal. for. many.. . Unfortunately,.over. 80%. of. Americans. who.have. lost. weight,. weigh. more.within. two. years.. . These. results.leave.many.Americans. feeling.helpless.with.their.weight.issues...The. problem. lies. in. having. the.wrong. goal.. . The. goal. should.not.be.a.number.of.pounds. to.be.lost.but.a.change.in.lifestyle...If. one. does. not. change. one’s.way. of. eating. while. losing.weight. the. individual. will. be.back. to. the. same. weight. he/she. was. before. the. weight.loss...To.be.successful.a.person.needs. to. choose. a. program.that. assists. in. the. change. of.

eating. habits. so. one. does. not.return. to. the. weight. he/she.was.. .Even.surgical.procedures.to.lose.weight.require.a.change.in.eating.habits.to.be.successful.in.keeping.weight.off...Weight. loss. is. not. just. about.lowering. one’s. calorie. intake...There. is. a. fine. line. between.losing. weight. and. the. body.believing. it. is. starving.. . People.who.have.dramatically.lowered.their. calorie. intake. gained.weight. instead.of. losing. it.. .The.body. believed. it. was. starving.and. was. turning. any. food.received.into.fat...A.person.needs. to.be.careful.about. the.diet.program. that. is.chosen.. . Not. all. programs. are.the. same.. . A. study. of. various.programs. will. reveal. that. the.pounds. lost. in. a. week. varies.from. less. than. a. pound. to. 5.pounds. a.week.. . The. average.cost. among. the. major. diet.programs. in. the. country. varies.from.an.average.cost.of.$833.to.

lose.forty.pounds.to.over.$3,700...Programs. that. require. doctor.visits.or.surgical.procedures.can.cost.much.more...The.ability.to.lose.forty.pounds.can.fluctuate.from. two. months. to. over. nine.months. depending. on. the.program.No. program. to. lose. weight.should. be. done. without.consultation. with. one’s.physician,. especially. if. the.person.is.taking.medications.or.has.other.health.issues...A.loss.of.weight.may.require.adjustments.in. levels. of. medication.. . If. the.medications.are.not.monitored.properly. it. could. create. other.health.problems...Many.people.who. reach. a. healthy. weight.experience. a. decline. or.

elimination. in. the. prescriptions.they.need.to.take.There. will. be. an. information.meeting. about. weight. loss. on.Monday,. December. 12th. at.6:30. p.m.. at. the. Apollo.

Wolfert,. goes. a. long. way.toward. preparing. a. person. for.the.Chief’s.responsibilities..“Being.a. part. of. the. administration. is. a.great.stepping.stone..That.hands.on.experience.is.truly.invaluable.”The.News.of.Kings.Point.caught.up. with. Ken. as. he. enjoyed. a.Christmas.vacation.with.his.family.in. North. Carolina. and. took. the.opportunity. to. ask. him. his. plans.for.the.coming.term.“Well,. first,. Merry. Christmas.. As.far. as. what. we. have. planned.for.the.coming.year,.everyone.is.primarily.concerned.with.keeping.the. Squad. staffed. with. enough.fully. trained. volunteers. so. that.we.have. the.numbers.we.need.to. take. care. of. business.. We’re.open. 24/7/365,. and,. particularly.in.the.summer.months,.there.can.be.a.drop.off..This.can.add.a.lot.of. stress. to. those. who. are. here.yearround.”According.to.Wolfert,.the.age.of.the.Squad.is.another.motivator.to.keep. recruiting. new. volunteers..“The.unofficial.average.age.here.is. 72. years.old.. To. stay. fresh,.we.need. to. keep. bringing. in. new.recruits..And,.in.doing.so,.we.must.

maintain.the.excellent.reputation.the.Squad.has.in.the.community.”Maintaining. that. excellence.at. every. position. is. another. of.Wolfert’s. goals. for. 2012.. “We’re.providing. excellent,. quality. care.first. and. foremost.. Our. personal.standards. go. along. with. that..Each.volunteer’s.skills.must.remain.high..We.want.the.best-qualified.help. we. can. get,. and. the. in-service.training.and.educational.components.must. remain.at. the.cutting. edge.. That’s. why. I’m.excited. to.have.Diane.Simon.as.our. Director. of. Education.. She.took.over. in.an. interim.capacity.several. months. ago. and. did.a. great. job.. We. are. fortunate.to. have. this. bright,. sharp,. hard.worker. directing. the. Squad’s.educational.efforts.”Each. Emergency. Squad.volunteer. goes. through.necessary. re-certification. classes.every. two. years,. but. the. Squad.also. maintains. weekly. refresher.courses..“We.revisit.the.same.skills.every.15.to.20.weeks.to.keep.the.knowledge. fresh. and. everyone.up.to.date.”But. Wolfert. understands. that.education. and. skills. are. not.enough. to. keep. the. Squad.performing. at. peak. levels.. The.all-volunteer. group. must. stay.personally. encouraged. and.motivated,. committed. to. giving.their. optimal. effort. each. and.every. shift.. “We. have. the. best.training. regimen. and. the. best.equipment,.but.if.morale.isn’t.high.we.cannot.perform.at.our.best.”

And.that.is.not.always.the.easiest.chore.. “We. are. an. all-volunteer.Squad,. each. person. blocking.off. 8. to. 12. hours. in.a.given.day.for.a.shift.every.2.weeks..And,.no.matter.what,.there.are.scheduling.conflicts..While.most.of.their.friends.and. neighbors. are. enjoying.the. holidays,. Squad. members.are. working. on. Thanksgiving,.Christmas,.Easter,.New.Years.Day..And,. again,. they’re. volunteers..No. one. is. getting. a. paycheck..The.only.motivation.is.a.desire.to.serve.”That. is. why,. says.
