Protecting Your Valuable Assets

Lynne Mitzel, principal owner of Morrow Insurance Group, has helped Lutz families protect their assets for over twenty-five years. “Our name is synonymous with community,” says Lynne. “We have had customers with us for thirty years, and now we are insuring their children.”

“Everyone has different insurance needs. Two families in the same neighborhood will each have unique circumstances. We work to give our clients exactly what they need and want, not a cookie-cutter plan that is easy to sell.”

“We are big on relationships,” says Lynne. “At the end of the day, it is all about people working with people. You need to be able to trust the people with which you work.” “Our national carriers are constantly telling us to send our smaller clients to call centers for service,” says Lynne. “I certainly do not like my calls being answered by someone in another country. I want every one of my customers to receive the personal service they deserve from someone who knows them and truly cares about their needs.” Lynne and her team, work diligently to obtain customized coverage for each client.

A major concern facing homeowners today has to do with homeowner’s insurance. Many national insurance carriers are no longer writing homeowners policies in Florida. As a result clients often come to us having policies with the state insurer, Citizens. While a vast number of these policies are being transferred to take-out companies, even some of these companies go out of business in a few short years due to mismanagement and other financial difficulties. This is shaky ground for homeowners, and they need someone on their side to provide insurance options. Morrow Insurance stays on top of these issues along with maintaining a company base that provides alternative markets to ensure their clients are properly covered.

Morrow Insurance has one office with eighteen colleagues. Many of which have been there more than ten years. “We’re like a big family here,” says Lynne. “We actually enjoy insurance, and everyone works hard for our customers.”

“Schools do not teach people how to buy insurance or purchase real estate,” says Lynne. “These are big issues. You have to find someone who takes your interests to heart. We are a faith-based organization, and that contributes to why everyone is so caring and loving.”

The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. They close for lunch daily from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., so everyone can go to lunch together. Sometimes their customers join them.

Morrow Insurance Group provides personal insurance (homeowners, umbrella, auto, flood, valuable articles, motorcycle, watercraft, recreational vehicle, and plane insurance), commercial insurance (property, commercial vehicle, workers compensation, product liability, crime, marine, and general liability), health insurance and financial planning services.

Call Lynne and her dedicated staff at (813) 963-1669 or visit their website at MorrowInsurance.net for more information. Their office is located at 18936 N. Dale Mabry Highway in Lutz.

Conversations, good company and a little luck

By

With all the snowbirds leaving for the summer months, we still had a big turnout on March 4 for coffee and doughnuts. There were quite a few of the residents there to get the news of the week. Of course the birthdays of the week were announced and recognized along with any anniversaries. There was much conversation going on, and it is a good way to relax and just enjoy the company.

On March 5, we had a social club at the community center. Here again, a nice turnout showed up to hear the old and new news. Also, they talked about what is planned for the future. For example, they are thinking about a karaoke night. Discussions would follow if anyone cared to talk about it and possibly make some suggestions.

Later that night, several people got together for a game of cribbage. This is a fast-moving game and so much fun. You have to make decisions on what to discard and what to keep.

In the meantime, across the room, several women were playing mahjong. This game, like cribbage, makes you stop and think. Anyone who joined in for either game had a pleasant time.

There also was card making going on in a different room in the center. Here, the people make greeting cards for rest homes and shut-ins.

On March 6, some people attended the quilters and there was a game of shuffleboard afterward. I never went to the quilters before, but they do some amazing work. The work they do is just spectacular, and they have entered various contests and have done quite well.

On the other hand, I have gone to shuffleboard before, and we always have a good time. Usually you can get up to 20 people to attend. Sometimes, depending on the weather, we get more.

But my husband and I attended the Strawberry Fest on this particular day to see some shows and just have a delightful time. The food is absolutely yummy.

In the afternoon, we saw Loretta Lynn. If you are not familiar with her, she is a country star and has been for many a year. Her big hit is “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” and she sang this plus many other hits.

At Grand Horizons on March 7, many residents were in the community center for our monthly egg n’ bag. This is always entertaining and delicious.

If you walk in the center, you will hear all types of discussions going on, and with well over 100 people, there is buzzing throughout the room. It seems like everyone has a topic of conversation, and they all contribute to a good time. We had a great breakfast and real good company.

On March 10, we had several women attend our reading class that we have monthly. This month, we went to Marilyn’s home to discuss the book that we read for the month.

It was an interesting discussion and brought a new meaning to the book.  The book was titled “The Alchemist,” and there was a fascinating discussion about it.

We broke for some goodies after the discussion, and there were a variety of them. Decisions, decisions on what to have! One was more delicious than the rest.

During this time, there was also a lively game of pinochle being played in the center. As I mentioned before, this is an amazing game and definitely keeps you on your toes.

At night, we had bingo played in the center. There is always a nice size crowd attending, hoping it will be their lucky night.

Residents open their hearts for families, students

By

Bennett Ricks, volunteer administrator services chief for Pasco Country Fire Rescue was a guest at a recent coffee hour at Leisure Days RV Resort. He was presented with a check for $960 for the Volunteer Rescue fund. This is a yearly donation from the residents of the park.

Bennett explained the funds would go toward the purchase of equipment not made available by the county, and also for training of volunteers. He also will be sending someone to the park to demonstrate how to use the new AED located in the hall.

This is just one of the many ways the residents of Leisure Days reach out to their winter community.

For several years, Christmas baskets are set up in the hall. Each year, three families are selected to receive gifts purchased by the residents. The families receive toys, clothing, handmade items and food. Diane McMillan, coordinator for this project, said, “the parents really appreciate the gifts. There are always a lot of tears when they see what strangers have done for their families.”

The Busy Hands program has reached out to hundreds of people in the Zephyrhills area since it started in 2011. Residents of nursing homes, hospice, the pregnancy center, local schools, and many others, are the recipients of these handcrafted afghans and quilts, made through the Busy Hands program.

Tracy Thompson, volunteer manager for Gulfside Hospice and Pasco Palliative Care, said she is always hearing “how appreciative the residents and their families are – of receiving these beautiful works of art, and in fact are frequently moved to tears at the generosity of the Busy Hands. Thank you, thank you – your efforts are truly appreciated and make a big difference in people’s lives.”

Local schools, both elementary and secondary, are also being supported by the Leisure Days residents. Along with the hundreds of stocking hats that have been delivered to local schools, the residents support the Thomas Promise weekend backpack program in many ways.

The offering from the Sunday morning church service goes to the Zephyrhills High School Back Pack program.

The pregnancy center has also been a recipient of very generous gift.

The residents also purchase items for the backpack program. The food is delivered to the high school by Diane McMillan and Diane Deaton every two weeks. Diane said, “It is so little effort on our part (residents), but so important to the students; it means some go to bed less hungry.”

Another resident, Laurely Deans, learned that the high school had collected prom dresses for the students. Over the years, she has donated numerous prom dresses and added jewelry, shoes and matching ties for that special date.

Diane Vaughan, ABC Program coordinator and registrar of Zephyrhills High School, summed up the generosity of Leisure Days residents.

“Leisure Days RV Resort is a prime example that people really want to help, but they aren’t sure how. Once the residents knew about the plight of some of our financially struggling students and their families, they jumped right to help. Residents have donated money, food, clothing, handmade hats, scarves and afghans, all in an effort to help these students.

“By opening their hearts, the residents at Leisure Days RV Resort have made a significant difference in the lives of our students. I am in awe of their generosity.

“The donations provide much needed food to fill our weekend backpacks. The Thomas Promise Foundation provides food from their pantry for the weekend backpacks. Now that they are filling 1,000 backpacks a week, the pantry can use the assistance of the community.”

A busy end to an active season

This has been a very busy time for our bus. Many trips were taken, thanks to our driver, Bonnie Pratt.

Some of the places we have visited include the Spaghetti Warehouse in Tampa, the beach in St. Petersburg, Hooters, Yuengling Brewery, a Yankees-Pirates baseball game in Bradenton, and a Detroit baseball game in Lakeland.

The Red Hot Chicks went to Clearwater for a dinner cruise. It is said that ‘what happens on the cruise, stays on the cruise.’ A good time was had by all.

Palm View Gardens hosted Canada Day. This included snacks, games and dinner. Prizes were presented for the winners of the games. Americans and Canadians celebrated together. It was a sea of red and white. This activity was organized by Dennis and June Simms. Co-chairpersons were Cheryl and Clarie Leightons. Linda and Gary Moore organized the games. It was a wonderful international celebration.

The Monday Women’s Golf League at Southport Golf Club had their banquet at the golf club’s clubhouse. June Simms and Cheryl Leighton organized the banquet. Marilyn Doerr and MaryAnn McPheron organized the golf league.

They were recognized for their work with gift certificates and flowers. Joanie had her usual beverage to toast all present for good luck. Thanks, everyone, for a great season.

The quilters of Palm View Gardens made a quilt to be raffled. Ted Cote bought a ticket and won the quilt. Ted had an idea to carry this further. With the blessing of the quilters, he had a raffle of his own to support the Wounded Warriors Project. At this raffle, the quilters sold tickets and took in more than $100. Joanna Austin won the quilt.

However, an anonymous donor gave Ted a $100-bill with the catch that he needed to double the money again! Ted took the challenge to the park residents at a Saturday breakfast where the challenge was met. The total raised came to $425, which was donated to the Wounded Warriors Project Foundation. Thank you to Ted for his generosity! Thank you to the anonymous donor, and to the residents who contributed to this worthy cause.

There also were spaghetti dinners to support our local fire company. One dinner was a sit-down dinner and another was a take-out only dinner. All proceeds from the dinners were given to our local fire company.

Thanks to Chuck Gould for the Thursday night dances. The Frank Moravcik Combo provided awesome dance music.

A medical home in your community

By

Laker Photo FinalBy Mike Matthew

Special to The Laker / Lutz News

Pediatric Health Care Alliance has twelve neighborhood locations with more than 40 board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners dedicated to providing your child with the very best medical care.

Dr. Melody Baade and Dr. Ignatius Tan are the pediatricians at a growing Pasco location, the Suncoast Office in Odessa. “What makes our practice unique is that we provide a medical home for our patients,” says Dr. Baade. This means all patient care is coordinated through the pediatrician’s office, including specialist care, hospital admissions, chronic conditions, and more. The Odessa office has been open for five years with patients coming from a wide area.

Another unique factor about the practice, which was founded in 1997, is that it is independently owned by the physicians. All decisions about patient care and business operations are made by the pediatricians. “Many of our doctors have worked for other pediatric offices before,” says Dr. Baade. “They bring with them a great deal of experience.”

Dr. Baade earned her Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of South Florida College of Medicine in 1985. She completed her residency in pediatrics in 1988 at USF Tampa General Hospital. She has been recognized by physician peers on the list of Best Doctors in America from 1996 to 2014.

Dr. Tan graduated from the University of South Florida College of Medicine in 1992 and completed his residency in 1995 at USF All Children’s Hospital. He was also voted one of the Best Doctors in America by his peers from 2011 to 2014.

With Pediatric Health Care Alliance, patients get the benefits of a larger practice while seeing the same doctors in each individual office. “We get to know our patients personally, and they get to know us and our staff,” says Dr. Baade. “We’re here to help.”

Another benefit from this group practice is the availability of evening and weekend hours at their locations in Brandon, North Carrollwood and Wesley Chapel . These extended hours are available to all patients from any location when the other offices are closed for the day. Patient records are electronic and available at every location to ensure continuity of care if patients need to visit another location. For more pressing concerns, pediatricians are available on-call 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and they are also on staff at major area hospitals.

Patient care and communication are top priorities of Pediatric Health Care Alliance. “We welcome calls during business hours to discuss your concerns,” says Dr. Baade. “We try to provide same-day appointments for sick children. We also have a separate waiting area for sick children.”

The Suncoast Office is currently welcoming new patients from newborns through the age of 18, and provides care for established patients through age 21. They accept most major insurance plans. Anyone new to the area or currently looking for a new pediatrician should call for a complimentary welcome visit to meet the staff and tour the office.

“We’re in the largest pediatric group on the west coast of Florida,” says Dr. Baade. “Dr. Tan and I have been in the Suncoast office since it opened. We’re Florida natives.” Dr. Baade grew up in Daytona Beach, while Dr. Tan grew up in the Tampa area.

The Suncoast office is located at 1850 Crossings Blvd., Unit 100, in Odessa, behind the Target Plaza off State Road 54. Contact them at (813) 475-7100 or visit their website at PediAlliance.com for more information.

Additional locations include Big Bend, Brandon, Citrus Park, Crossroads, FishHawk, Lutz, North Carrollwood, Northside, South Tampa, Suncoast, Walsingham and Wesley Chapel.

Pre-Need Planning At Trinity Memorial Gardens

20150209_094416Gives You and Your Family Peace of Mind

By Anne Childers

Special to The Laker/Lutz News

Most people are planners. We plan for work and play — vacations, sporting events, social occasions and milestones like births, graduations and weddings.

The only milestone most people fail to plan for is the last one — when we end our journey here on earth. Even those who have accepted that death is part of life can be reluctant to make arrangements for that final occasion.

The caring, professional staff at Trinity Memorial Gardens understands this hesitation. Every staff member knows how to care for others during this time of need, and is trained to assist with unique needs and requests.

Gary Saling, general manager of Trinity Memorial Gardens, commented, “When someone makes pre-need plans for themselves, they find peace of mind knowing that their family members will not need to worry or be burdened about what to do when the time comes.”

“When you make the decisions and the arrangements, you can be assured that your wishes will be carried out, “ said Saling. “You will spare your family the emotional choices that need to be made at a very difficult time.”

In addition to pre-need planning, Trinity Memorial Gardens offers at-need services, traditional burial and on-site cremation at its location on State Road 54, four miles west of the Veterans Expressway. All faiths are welcomed at this privately owned, full service funeral home, which offers a lovely, on-site chapel with seating for up to 250 guests.

IMG_3018There is a Garden of Honor for military veterans, two Catholic themed gardens, the Garden of Prayer and Bell Tower, a non-sectarian garden.   There is also a separate cemetery on-site for those of the Jewish faith, called Beit Olam.   Trinity also serves those of the Hindu faith, as they have the on-site crematory.

The Rose Garden is a newly created area that provides for in ground cremation burials. There is a private estate garden for those interested in a separated family plot, and a public mausoleum with both crypts for full body entombment, and niches for cremation inurnments. There are also glass front niches for a unique way to memorialize a loved one.

Trinity Memorial Gardens is about to embark on numerous constructions projects, IMG_2987including a new niche chapel dedicated to glass front niches, another inside mausoleum, an outside mausoleum, multiple new gardens, and a gazebo near the gardens of Honor and Innocence (the special garden for infants).

A full-time, professional maintenance staff takes care of the beautiful grounds. There are no additional fees charged to families for landscaping and garden maintenance.

Trinity Memorial Gardens, which is part of Dr. James Gill’s original vision for Trinity, is celebrating 20 years of service during 2015. The Gardens continue to grow and expand services to meet the needs of all who call this region home.

General Manager Gary Saling joins his staff in inviting you to call and schedule a personal tour of the Trinity Memorial Gardens campus.

Honoring our community volunteers

By

On Feb. 28, about 90 people had a great breakfast of pancakes, sausage and French toast to start the day. I wasn’t there, but I heard only good things about it. People were saying that the pancakes were fluffy and so tasty. I can just visualize them.

Later that night, our community center had a comedy night. Cheryl Leone was hosted it and she brought in two videos of a live performance with Jeff Dunham and his friends, in addition to some delicious popcorn. I never saw Jeff Dunham before, and my husband and I, plus the rest of the audience, were in for a treat. The show was so funny, and there were plenty of laughs circulating throughout the center. He did a fine job at ventriloquism and comedy.  The weather kept many people away, but the ones who attended were glad they came.

On March 1, we had our second Volunteer Appreciation Day. It started last year, and they hope to have it annually.

As we entered the community center, we found a salad bowl with fresh crispy salad to put in the bowl. We then had either lasagna or spaghetti, whichever we wanted. Along with the main course, we had delicious garlic bread and meatballs.

Cheryl Leone and many helpers hosted this special day. The helpers consisted of Bill and Donna Quinn, Diane Keefe, Chuck Carlson, Carol Wilcox, Ken Leone, Clayton and Carol George, and quite a bit of additional help. They did a great job, and we thank them. Without the volunteers, our community would not be as wonderful as it is. There was a tremendous turnout of about 85 people who attended this function.

On March 3, there was a luncheon for the men where they went to Hooter’s. There was much conversation and all had a very good time. I don’t know what transpired there, but the guys came back in a very good mood.

On the same day, several women were at O’ Brien’s. The ride to Plant City, where the restaurant is located, was a lovely ride on a beautiful day. The menu was quite varied, and the food was delicious.

Talented residents take final bow

Our last show of the season was the Red Hot and Blue Color Show. The lady had a beautiful voice that sang all types of music from opera to pop, and her husband was a great comedian that had us all laughing with his part of the show.

She dazzled us with her beautiful gowns, and we had a treat when he was transformed from a long-haired sound man into a handsome performer.

The show was well attended by our residents.

A Carefree Got Talent Contest was held in our resort, so we could send the winner to the finals at the Lakeland Center. We had five contestants, and all of them were really good. They were Delmar Baker, Linda Swinamer, Bev Were, Kathy Leingaber, and the musical group of Doug and Mary Sawyer, Jerry Cormier and Ralph McWilliams.

The three judges were managers from other Carefree Parks. The winner was the group of musicians made up of Doug and Mary Sawyer, Jerry Cormier and Ralph McWilliams. The runner-up was Kathy Leingaber.

Congratulations to all of them. They were really great.

The entertainment for our Sunday night ice cream social were residents from our resort. Linda Luce was in charge, and her group put on a great show for us.

We have some great talented residents who can sing, tell stories and jokes.

We had a fun night watching them perform and getting a good laugh out of their performance.

Great job, Linda and friends.

A whole person approach to family medicine

By

By Mike Matthew

Special to The Laker / Lutz News

Family Medical Centers wants to know you as a person rather than just symptoms in need of treatment. They have offices in Trinity and Port Richey staffed by caring doctors with extensive experience.

Dr. Darren T. Morris is the family physician in charge of their new office in Trinity. He brings with him 14 years of wide-ranging medical expertise including family medicine, urgent care, sports medicine and emergency room care. He also worked three years for the U.S. Border Patrol in South Carolina as their chief medical officer.

“I’ve done a ton of injury care,” says Dr. Morris, “including workplace accidents, sports injuries, along with all the traumas and injuries incurred by officers working for the U.S. Border Patrol.”

Dr. Morris received his undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the College of Charleston in South Carolina and his Doctorate of Medicine from the Medical University of South Carolina in 1997. His residency in family medicine was completed in 2000 at the Medical University of South Carolina, Muse Family Medicine Program.

“I want to emphasize that we’re doctors you can talk to,” says Dr. Morris. “We take the time to listen to our patients. We provide a very personal and professional service.”

He’s been a staff physician, emergency room physician, assistant emergency room director, and a medical director at the Department of Homeland Security. He enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, kayaking and biking.

His father was a pilot in the Air Force. He grew up on bases all over the world. After graduating from high school, he moved to South Carolina where his family was originally from. He practiced medicine there for seven years before moving to Lutz in 2007, where he worked for a number of private practices.

Family Medical Centers is a traditional family care practice. They can address a wide variety of your medical needs for patients from ages 2 to 100. Many staff members are fluent in English and Spanish.

The doctors offer comprehensive care and specialize in auto accident injuries. They perform school sports physicals, work-related physicals, drug testing and blood screening. They work with local chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons and have a good network of specialists and attorneys that they work with.

Family Medical Centers accepts walk-ins, new patients and most insurances. They are also available for walk-in urgent care.

The Trinity office is located at 2208 Duck Slough Blvd., Suite A (behind the Outback Steakhouse). The phone number is (727) 375-5885. Further information is available on their website at FamilyMedicalCenters.net.

A night filled with comedy, humor and singing

By

A crowd of 120 people was at the community center at Grand Horizons to see a terrific show. Rich Wilson performed a variety of talents and kept everyone laughing in their seats. He sang several hit tunes, intermingled with a variety of jokes. He had the knack of using people’s names that lived in or visited Grand Horizons that he had met.

As mentioned, the well-attended show started when Terry Gardner introduced Rich Wilson. Rich made a great entrance as he showed up in a tuxedo. Yes, this was a class act, and we were in for a delightful experience. A treat is what we experienced as he sang oldies, country, plus some gospel.

Rich started the show by singing “Let Me Be There” with such enthusiasm and emotion that he had everyone singing and clapping along. This was followed by a great performance of a Conway Twitty song entitled “It’s Only Make Believe” done in a faster version, and Rich did a remarkable job.

He then performed a medley of “At the Hop,” “All Shook Up,” “Ain’t That a Shame,” “Blueberry Hill,” and more. There was a variety of music as he then performed some country hits such as “Folsom Prison Blues.” “Ring of Fire.” ”From a Jack to a Queen,” ”Take These Chains From My Heart,” and many others.

At one point during the show, Rich introduced Terry Gardner and proceeded to sing the song “I Don’t Have a Wooden Heart.” He sang this song to Mim Gardner as Terry gave her some roses for their 55th anniversary and a giant poster of the two of them cutting their wedding cake. Needless to say, I think Mim was surprised. At least, she sure looked it.

Rich then did a very cute rendition of “Rindercella” that Archie Campbell made famous. I must say that Rich did a fantastic job of it, and the entire audience was laughing.

He also was up on stage with Kermit the Frog, and they both sang “What a Wonderful World.“ Rich changed his voice when it came to Kermit’s part, and again everyone was hysterical. He sang “Little Bitty Pretty One” with all the meaningful phrases like “Ah, Ah” and others.

During the evening, he told jokes, stories and little quips that had everyone in stitches. Everyone had a smile on his or her face.

He then performed a medley of Elvis songs like “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Teddy Bear,” and more, with some shaking going on.

Now to the end of the show. But first, there was a salute to all the veterans that were in the audience with our thanks. It was an honor to be in their presence.  We closed the show with everyone singing “America the Beautiful.”

We all left knowing we saw a high-quality show.

On Feb. 22, our community center had a Daytona 500 Bash. I understand that it was quite successful as about 35 people attended to cheer on their favorite driver.

I spoke to Gary Wilcox, and he was more than delighted with the turnout, and they hope to have more next year as this will be an annual occasion.

There were several door prizes that were given out during every break at this event. Between Gary and others, they went to several vendors who made donations. It was definitely a joint effort, and our thanks go out to all who participated. There were also hot dogs, fries, Hooter’s wings and coleslaw available for purchase. I was told from Annmarie Shackewyc that Cheryl and Ken Leone, along with Chuck Carlson, did all the cooking, while Donna Quinn made the coleslaw.

From what I understand, it was a lovely afternoon, especially if your driver won.
