January 2014
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
May you have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2014!
A few brief reminders for 2014…..
Our winter season is now in full swing and traffic has become very heavy. We would like to remind everyone that our
speed limit throughout the community is 15 mph. Please remember children under the age of sixteen (16) are not
permitted to drive golf carts without the accompaniment of an adult.
Please be advised that two (2) vehicles are allowed to be parked on your site. This does not include your golf cart. In the
RV Section you are permitted to store one boat, canoe, or Jet Ski up to 20ft. behind your unit. If you have a driveway, all
vehicles must be parked on the driveway NOT in the grass.
For our R.V. residents your Cost of Living Increase (CPI) is 1.7%. Your site rental for the November 1, 2014 to April 30,
2015 will increase by $50.00 for the season. Your site rental for the 2014/2015 season will be $3015.00. In order to reserve
your particular requested site, a deposit of $1,000 is due at reservation time. Please note the remainder of the balance of
$2,015.00 is due on or before October 1, 2014. Your reservation notice and rental agreements will be placed in your

office.
Please note that any Vendor you decide to use for work on the outside of your home must have their Insurance and

property.
For any one intending to sell or transfer their home to someone else, please be advised that Citrus Park does not refund
or reimburse the difference of the unused lot rental amounts to the seller. It is recommended that the seller consider this
and perhaps incorporate this dollar amount into the selling price. All units listed for sale must have administration
approval before Citrus Park will transfer lot/site to a new tenant. This can be accomplished with a simple notification
phone call to the administration office.
As a reminder, all post lights are to be left on every evening (year round) for street lighting and security reasons; it must

wishes everyone an active and safe season here in Citrus
Park. Remember that we are here to serve you, to answer
your questions and communicate with management on
your behalf.
At the December General Meeting, vice-president Ralph
King reminded residents to write out concerns and return
them to any Board member. The Board will discuss your
concerns and present them to management. Dennis has
requested this procedure because it is more efficient than
his receiving numerous queries on perhaps the same
topic. We hope to meet regularly in the future with
Dennis in order to keep our Park one of the best in
Florida.Remember these guidelines for recycling.
Plastic containers marked 1 to 7 can be recycled.
Aluminum cans, steel cans, green, white and brown glass
bottles can be recycled. The Ball League appreciates it if
you put your aluminum cans in their bins between the
recycling bins. Newsprint, magazines, cardboard and
boxboard can be recycled except for waxed containers.
Foil pie plates and pans can be recycled. Empty
aerosol cans can be recycled unless they had toxic
products inside. Fine paper goes in the Garden Street bin.
Activities Department receives some money from this bin.
Put all other metals and glass dishes in the trash
dumpster. Large household items will be picked up by
Veolia Waste Service. Call 334-1224. This number is on
the cover of the Citrus Park Directory.

Healthy You
Honey
is the only food that
doesn’t go bad
Honey is magic. Besides its delicious taste, it’s
pretty much the only food that does not spoil
while in an edible state. But why, exactly,
doesn’t honey go bad?
Honey has a lot of pretty incredible
properties. It’s been used and investigated
for medicinal properties for a long time,
especially as a treatment for open wounds.
Herodotus reported that the Babylonians
buried their dead in honey, and Alexander
the Great may have been embalmed in a
coffin full of honey.
The oldest honey ever found was unearthed
in Georgia, and dates back over 5,000 years.
So, if you found yourself in possession of
some 5,000 year-old honey, could you eat it?
Well. . .
Chemical Properties of Honey
Honey is a sugar. You may have heard all
sorts of things about the health benefits of
substituting honey for sugar, which may or
may not be true. While honey isn’t the same
as regular, granulated, white sugar, it’s still
a sugar. And sugars are hygroscopic – they
don’t contain much water in their natural
state. And very few bacteria and
microorganisms can live in the resulting
low-moisture environment.
Another thing that sets honey apart from
other sugars is its acidity. Honey’s pH is
between 3 and 4.5 (or, more precisely,
3.26-4.48), which also kills off anything
trying to make a home in honey.
And there are a few factors behind honey’s
low moisture content, including:
Bees
First, bees contribute to the low water content of honey by
flapping their wings to dry out nectar. Second, the way bees get
nectar into honey combs is by vomiting it there. This sounds really
gross, but the chemical makeup of bees’ stomachs also contributes
to honey’s long shelf-life. Bees’ stomachs have the enzyme glucose
oxidase, which is added to the honey when the nectar is
regurgitated. The enzyme and nectar break mix to create gluconic
acid and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is also a
hostile force for anything trying to grow in honey. (Although,
maybe not that effective in your cuts.)
Storage
This is important. The fact that honey is hydroscopic means that
it has little water in its natural state but can easily suck in water
if its exposed to it. If it does that, it could spoil. So the final key
to honey remaining unspoiled is making sure it’s well sealed and
stored in a dry place.
Crystallization
Related to storage is the problem of crystallized honey. NOTE:
Honey that’s crystallized is not necessarily spoiled. Americans
apparently see crystallized honey as “wrong,” so large packers filter
honey to remove any particles which may lead to crystallization.
Raw honey and organic honey doesn’t go through the process, but
that doesn’t mean it’s going to spoil. Also, different honey has
different rates of crystallization. So it may just be that the honey
you have is more prone to crystallization.
So crystallization doesn’t mean there’s anything “wrong” with
your honey — but if you don’t like it, the big tip is to not put your
honey in the refrigerator. Below 52 °F, crystallization slows down,
so feel free to freeze your honey. And at temperatures above 77
°F, honey resists crystallization best. But honey crystallizes most
quickly at temperatures of between 50 and 59 °F. So, if you want
to avoid having to heat your honey to remove crystals (apparently
slow, indirect heat is best for that, by the way), avoid the
refrigerator.
Caveat: Infants
So, yes, honey mostly doesn’t spoil. However, honey can contain
spores of Clostridium botulinum. This isn’t harmful to adults and
children over one year old, whose gastrointestinal tract is
developed enough to deal with the spores. But children under one
are at risk for infant botulism, so honey is not for your infant.
So could you eat 5,000 year old honey? Well, if it’s spent that time
sealed and stored against moisture, sure. If it’s crystallized, it’s not
spoiled, just heat it up and put it in your food of choice. Unless
you’re under one year old. Then you’d have to wait.
