JANUARY CDD NoteS from Norm
By: Norm Keith, Oakstead Resident and CDD Chairman
A reflection on 2014 reveals a year
that profoundly changed my life forever.
Linda and I were married on 10 February
1963 in Jacksonville, North Carolina. We
were both enlisted members in the United
States Marine Corps. Each night I shined
our shoes while Linda ironed uniforms
for the next duty day. We were a couple of
sharp Marines, Linda worked in the 2nd
Marine Division Communication Center
and I was in the 10th Marine, Field Artillery Regiment. Our USMC enlistments
ended in 1962 and we moved to Connecticut where our first child was born in
1963. My father and I operated an ESSO
Gas Station for about eighteen months. I
decided pumping gas and washing windshields was not my career field so I enlisted in the Army in early 1964. During the
following seventeen years we moved from
one military assignment to another, including Field Artillery Officer Candidate
School, a yearlong tour in South Vietnam
Nam with the 1/8th FA Bn., 25th Infantry Division Artillery two unaccompanied tours in 1/17th FA Bn, 2nd Inf. Division, South Korea and assignments In the
321st FA Bn, 101st Airborne Division, Ft.
Campbell Kentucky and the 3/3rd FA Bn,
194th Brigade, Ft. Knox, Kentucky. We
were also stationed at Ft. Jackson, SC for
several years training SC National Guard
and Reserve soldiers. This assignment
required me to work most weekends.
The thing
that Linda
loved most
about Oakstead
was
sitting on our
back
porch
watching
the
wildlife that was so
plentiful in the Cypress Swamp directly
behind it. She simply loved animals. Her
little dog Brandi was the light of her life
for the eleven years. On the evening of
6 August Linda went to bed and at some
point during the night she was placed in
our Lord’s arms. She was buried in The
Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell
with full military honors. We all loved
Linda unconditionally and miss her every
day. I will always cherish the 52 years we
spent together, we were truly soul mates.
As I said 2014 has profoundly changed
my life and as 2015 starts I would encourage everyone to take time to recognize the
things you love and how fragile life really
is. Hug your loved ones and tell them you
love them. Attempt to enjoy every day
with positive happy feelings because anything else is a pure waste of time that will
not be recognized until it is too late.
May 2015 bring everyone the best of
everything.
Through all of the unaccompanied tours,
schools, and normal eighteen hour workdays Linda handled the job of raising
three children, mostly alone-without complaint, in a superb manner. She motivated
me to attend college by constantly telling
me that I was smart enough, at thirty five,
to keep up with the younger students. I
would procrastinate at completing the paperwork and she would chew me out until
I turned it in. I graduated from Cameron
University in 1973. All of the credit goes
to Linda. After retiring from the military
in 1981 Linda insisted that I use my GI
Bill benefits to earn a Master’s Degree. I
graduated with a Master’s Degree from
USF in 1987. All of the credit goes to Linda. She used to say “that is what a wife
is supposed to do”. I encouraged her to
achieve her lifelong goal of being a nurse.
She graduated from nursing school as the
top student in the class in 1983. I have
never seen anyone study as hard as Linda
did in nursing school. When our children
completed their college degree programs
Linda and I were very proud of them.
Linda instilled the work and study ethics
in our kids while I was somewhere else in
the world soldiering. She truly supported
me in every way possible. She injured her
back lifting a patient and had to stop
nursing. From that day in 1989 she was in
constant pain from. She bravely handled
the pain as she tried to live a normal life.

Article written by Chris Ayoub, HOA President
I trust all members of our Oakstead
community had a very enjoyable and relaxing Holiday season and that the New
Year brings all of us much happiness,
health, success and great memories.
Your HOA Board, in partnership with
the Design Review Board (DRB), Covenant Enforcement Committee (CEC),
and our property manager, Associa Gulf
Coast, had a very busy and productive
2014. Naturally, through prudent use
of our resources, much of our efforts are
focused upon ensuring and enhancing
the livability, safety, quality and value of
our neighborhoods. The overall financial
condition of your HOA remains sound
and well positioned, a situation that allowed the Board to keep the annual HOA
fee unchanged at $55. The 2015 operating budget, approved at the November
meeting, will provide ample funding to
continue important initiatives.
During the final quarter of 2014,
each homeowner received via mail, a notice of Annual Meeting along with HOA
board candidate bios, proxy information and voting forms. It is important
that each homeowner review this material and decides on an appropriate course
of response. Without a quorum established, your HOA cannot conduct an annual meeting. This year, less than 10%
of homeowners either voted their proxies
or attended the meeting, which is well below the needed amount.
As a result, no meeting was held and
2014 Board Members were retained. Your
2015 Board Members are as follows
Chris Ayoub- President
Jay Carter- Vice President
Alan Stern- Treasurer
Geri Cochran- Secretary
Gary Goldstein- Member
During 2014, Jay Carter assumed
the Interim President position when Gary
Goldstein found it necessary to step back
from his role as President. Combined with
his responsibility as Chair of the DRB,
Jay’s service to the Oakstead community
has been invaluable and his commitment
impressive. With regard to Gary, he too
must be commended and thanked for the
many years he has served as HOA President and Board Member. As fortune has
it, Gary was willing to continue in his role
as Board Member.
As you have likely read in past Oakstead newsletters, the HOA has focused
significant attention on making sure that
homeowners are following and adhering
to the rules and guidelines contained
within the covenants handbook. When
you made the decision to purchase a
property in Oakstead, you did so with
the knowledge that this is a deed-restricted community that is governed by
an established set of rules and regulations. There is a direct correlation between property condition and property
values so compliance with the covenants
clearly benefits us all in the end.
If you receive a letter from the HOA
via Associa, please communicate with
our property manager on a course of
corrective action. If you disagree with
the violation or have any issue, please
reach out to Associa or plan to attend
a monthly HOA meeting to address
your concern directly to the Board. The
CEC is meeting on a regular basis and
is assessing fines to those homeowners
unwilling to live by the rules. In the
end, the most cost effective and optimal manner to resolve problems is to be
proactive in the care of your property.
If you are a tenant in an investor owned
property, I would encourage you to immediately notify the owner of a developing problem so they can resolve the issue
on a timely basis.
Typical of past authors of this letter, I too would greatly encourage you
to become more involved with the HOA.
We meet monthly, most always on the
3rd Monday of the month at 7:00 pm in
the meeting room at the clubhouse. The
HOA is always looking for members to
serve on one of the committees. I want
to thank the handful of neighbors who
do make a point to be involved and attend meetings. Your thoughts, comments
and ideas are very much appreciated.

NOVEMBER HAPPENINGS
By: Jay Carter, Oakstead Resident and DRB Committee Member
November was a busy month with 27
applications. YTD there have been 197
vs. 119 for 2013. MOST applications are
completed within a few days so time is no
excuse! The covenants and some routine
applications are on the Oakstead CDD
website www.oaksteadcdd.org/hoa, Nextdoor, or at the clubhouse.
Most EXTERIOR CHANGES need
approval. Refer to your covenants and DRB
supplement for further details! Some changes
may require a Pasco County permit.
Failure to submit an application will
result in getting a covenant violation and if
not addressed, possible fines and legal ac-
tion. Please look around your house and
yard and see if there is anything that might
need attention; MAINTENANCE items
such as trees trimmed, driveway/sidewalk
washed, touch-up painting, mailbox spiffed
up, etc. do not need approval.

Parking on Oakstead
Streets IS AGAINST THE LAW!
By: Oakstead CDD
Ticketing
The Troopers have been given directive to ticket those illegally parked on
conservation areas in the community. So
please watch where you park!
Parking on Oakstead streets is not allowed; especially
overnight. Residents can call the Pasco Sheriff at their
non-emergency number (813) 929-1204 to report parking violators. Do not use
911. They will ticket the car if resources are available. The Clubhouse parking
lot can be used to eliminate on street parking. Let’s enjoy our visitors while obeying parking laws - this will make Oakstead much safer!
CLUBHOUSE CHANGES
Due to so many “Insufficient Funds” checks received at clubhouse we will
no longer accept checks. We will only accept cash, money order or certified
checks

NEW YEAR!
NEW CHALLENGES
I find it hard to sit down and write articles for January’s newsletter in November
because most of what I would like to write
about I have not gotten the answers to the
questions that I sent out to the county, engineer, landscaper, code enforcement, roofer
and management company.
Questions I have for residents are: Did
you enjoy the holidays? What are your
New Year’s resolutions going to be? Did
you read the ARC covenants before you put
in your ARC application? Did you put in
your ARC application before doing your
work? Did you clean your dryer vent pipe
that goes through the roof? Lint builds
up not only in the bottom of the dryer but
in the vent pipe and can go on fire if not
cleaned once a year. It also cuts down the
efficiency of the dryer and costs more to dry
your clothes!
All I can do is hope that we don’t have
too many surprises within the village this
year but we will face them whatever they
will be.
Happy Tenth ANNIVERSARY!
It is hard to imagine that in May Tan-
NEWS
Fred Krauer, Oakstead Resident and President of Tanglewylde HOA Board
glewylde HOA is going to be ten years old!
All I can say is that it has been very trying at times from lightning strikes to one
villa burning up, blocking power lines
from being run through Tanglewylde and
Oakstead, tree removals and being over
$100,000.00 in non-payment of fees to just
a few hundred dollars.
This is also the time to thank the
residents who have been on our different
committees and helping to create the ARC
guidelines that our village operates under.
Even though it was a thankless job of going
from door to door to get proxies signed and
getting yelled at to leave them alone and
then you have others who would rather be
part of the problem and not part of the solution (NO FUN DOING THAT JOB) but
the volunteers charged on to get the needed
proxies. For the residents who decorated
the entrance and exit gates for the holidays
it always looks nice and puts a smile on
your face when driving up to Tanglewylde
day or night. It gives you the feeling like this
is my home and I am happy to live here.
Thank you for taking pride in the
Oakstead Community but most of all for
making Tanglewylde a special place to live.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

New Year’s Resolution
Two New Year’s Resolutions Tanglewylde and Oakstead Residents can do to keep
the community and Villages looking great.
The first is to get exercise into your weight
lose program and none the better than to
get exercise is bending over and picking up
after your dog. Just think about walking
your dog to burn calories and then after
your dog does its business to bend over and
pick it up! You could burn up twice as many
calories doing some bending and stretching
while you walk.
Picking up after your dog also keeps
Oakstead looking great!
Thank- You Tanglewylde
I would like to thank the residents who
voted in the Tanglewylde HOA election. It
was the first time since our first meeting
ten years ago that we had a quorum of the
membership who voted. We will continue
to work hard to stay within our budget and
fund our reserves but most of all to find
ways not to do any special assessments.
Thanks for the vote of confidence in Tanglewylde HOA.

Oakstead Paper Recycling Update –
NOVEMBER
By: Jay Carter, Oakstead Resident, HOA Board Member, DRB Member
Green Fiber reports that we collected
9,300 pounds which saved 80 trees and
produced enough fiber to insulate FIVE
2,000 ft2 homes. GOOD JOB!! YTD,
we have done almost 100,000 pounds!
We did about 93,500 pounds in all 2013
so ahead of that pace!
The bins are emptied every Friday
and Monday on Green Fiber’s normal
route. Every effort is made to make space
available for deposits but a “wild card” is
if someone has moved in and deposits a
lot of empty boxes. It is paramount that
boxes be flattened!
There are two green collection bins
in the clubhouse parking lot by the tennis
courts. If you turn onto Tuckerman (side
street next to the clubhouse) and then
turn into the parking lot, the bins will be
to your left. Acceptable items are newspaper, cardboard (PLEASE FLATTEN!),
office paper, magazines, phone books,
junk mail, office and construction paper.
These paper items CANNOT be included
in the bi-weekly curbside pick-up. Please
do not put curbside recycle materials into
the paper bins!
1. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU
CLOSE THE COVERS TO KEEP RAIN
OUT. Rain causes weights to be overstated, the material unusable, and ineligible for payment.
2. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE GROUND - IF BINS
ARE FULL, USE THE BIN AT SUNLAKE OR OAKSTEAD SCHOOL OR
PREFERRABLY HOLD MATERIAL
UNTIL BINS HAVE SPACE!
3.
PLEASE
ENCLOSE
ANY
SHREDDED PAPER IT IN A BAG VS.
PUTTING INTO THE BIN LOOSE AS
IT CAN BLOW AWAY WHEN BIN IS
EMPTIED.
4. Please make sure empty cardboard
boxes are FLATTENED as whole boxes
take up valuable volume in the small
bins!! If a box is full of newspaper or paper, that is fine!
The CDD encourages all Oakstead
residents to be green and recycle both
with this and the curbside pick-up programs! THINK GLOBALLY AND ACT
LOCALLY! THANKS TO ALL WHO
PARTICIPATE!!!

Oak Tree Issues
Hopefully everyone is now aware of the situation with the live or pin oak trees. The developer made a poor selection of this
tree to plant in the narrow strip between the sidewalks and roadways. They were cheap, take little maintenance, and grow rapidly.
Regrettably as they have matured there have been numerous instances of sidewalk and driveway damage caused by the extensive
root system these trees have. As all the utilities to our homes are underground, it is possible the root systems could also damage
water, sprinkler, sewer, electric, or cable lines – costly repairs!!
Another negative of these trees is the leaves - they fall non-stop and blow everywhere! I have yet to see a landscape contractor
rake or vacuum them up; they usually BLOW them into the resident’s yard OR a neighbor’s yard. The leaves take a long time to
mulch and are a poor nutrient source for the grass. There is a growing problem of heavy accumulations of leaves on sidewalks and
streets – these need to be removed by the owner of the tree!!
One other issue these trees are presenting is the huge limb canopy which hangs over the roadway in many villages. Large trucks
are hitting the branches and the Pasco County fire department has complained the limbs are damaging the VERY expensive paint
jobs on their fire trucks.
The trees between the sidewalk and roadways are the responsibility of the homeowner. There have been numerous DRB applications to remove and replace them. If a tree is greater than 10” diameter at chest height (or 31” circumference) removing it also
requires a Pasco County permit – cost is $50. Over time these tress can grow to 70-80 feet tall and 30-36” diameter. Obviously
the bigger they are, the more expensive they will be to remove. The March 2013 issue of this magazine (can be accessed on the
Oakstead CDD website) has an article regarding installing a root barrier which might buy time in lieu of removing the tree.
Does a tree have to be replaced? Pasco County has requirements for residential lots. Per their website, a lot < 3500 ft2
must have 1 tree somewhere on the lot. 3500-6000ft2 - 2 trees, 6001-7500 ft2 - 3 trees, 7501-9500 ft2 – 4 trees, 9501-16000 ft2
– 6 trees.
Here is a list and some photos of
approved replacement trees from the
Pasco County list.
A homeowner can choose from the following tree
species: Ash, Bay, Black Haw, Cabbage Palm, Cypress,
Dogwood, Elm, Fringe Tree, Hawthorn, Hickory, Holly, Hophornbeam, Hornbeam, Loblolly Bay, Magnolia, Mangrove, Maple, Oak , Pine, Plum, Redbud, Red
Cedar, River Birch, Sourwood, Sugarberry, Hackberry,
Sweet Bay, Sweet Gum, Sweet Osmanthus, Sycamore, Tulip Tree, Walter Virburnum, and Wax Myrtle.

Youth and Video Games
Info obtained from IFAS-Solutions for Life
From instant messaging classmates to
researching on the Internet, today’s youth
are increasingly using different electronic
media. Youth also use electronics recreationally through activities such as downloading music and playing video games
(the latter being popular among children
of all ages—especially boys).
Although children today are more
media literate than their parents, this increased electronic-media consumption
may not always be positive. For example,
not all video games are appropriate for
youth, and some may contain violence,
obscene language, and/or sexual content.
You can take an active role in youth-video-game consumption with the following
suggestions:
Learn more about a game’s content by
checking its Entertainment Software Rat-
ing Board (ESRB) rating.
• Test games before allowing your
child to play them to ensure the games are
appropriate.
• Play games with your child to experience the games firsthand, witness children’s
reactions, and stay informed about the latest changes and trends in popular games.
• Set limits and rules regarding playing time and content that apply in and
outside of the home.
• If your child plays games online, be
sure to warn them about forming relationships with strangers on the Internet.
• Encourage your child to participate
in other activities such as sports and outdoor hobbies.
Some video games can be educational and age-appropriate, but many have
content not suitable for youth. By being
informed about different types of video
games, you can guide your children to
make better decisions.
Shedding Light on Veggies
Yvonne Swanson, Times Correspondent
Garden must-haves
Do you have the right tools to get the job done? According to the National Gardening Association, every gardener
should have a spade or shovel, a long-handled cultivator, a
rake and hand tools such as pruners, trowel and cultivator.
Depending on the job, you may need hedge shears, loppers, a
saw and wheelbarrow or garden cart to move heavy objects
or soil. Quality tools aren’t cheap, so compare prices at local
retailers, catalogs and Internet suppliers. Yard sales and classified ads are good sources as well.
xnƂȡʔɭȄ
Even if your yard is sunlightchallenged, you can still grow vegetables. Some vegetables need as
little as three hours of sun each
day or even all-day dappled shade,
organic gardening expert Colleen
Vanderlinden says. That includes
salad greens, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, beets, Brussels sprouts, radishes, Swiss chard, leafy
greens and beans. Plants that produce fruit (like tomatoes) or
edible roots (carrots) need full sun. If your yard is deep shade,
you’re out of luck. Stick with store-bought produce or join a
community garden or co-op for your veggie fix.

It is against the Pasco County Law to park on the grass or sidewalk!
If you are caught you may get a ticket! It is very dangerous for children and handicapped
people to have to walk around your car just to take a walk.

Costco plans store in
Pasco’s Cypress Creek
Town Center
WESLEY CHAPEL — Membership
warehouse Costco has filed preliminary
plans to build its fourth Tampa Bay
store in Pasco County at the new Cypress Creek Town Center.
While there hasn’t been a formal announcement, this is the first major retailer linked to the site, which is located at
Interstate 75 - State Road 56 interchange.
Outlet mall developer Simon Properties is currently building a 1.1-millionsquare-foot Premium Outlet mall and
plans to open in October 2015. Simon
officials had previously announced that
luxury retailer Saks Inc. would anchor
the mall with a Saks “Off 5th” store, but
they have been tight-lipped about other
tenants since closing on the property
two months ago.
Simon spokesman Les Morris said
an announcement regarding the outlet
mall could come as early as next week.
Company officials have scheduled
a pre-application meeting with county
planners for Dec. 16. A representative of
the Richard E. Jacobs Group will also be
present at the meeting.
The 153,041-square-foot Costco
store is slated for 18 acres on the south
side of S.R. 56, leaving the Jacobs Group,
with 32 acres that are zoned for restaurants, retail stores and a movie theater.
Costco Wholesale Corp., based near
Seattle, operates an international chain
of membership warehouses. The chain
credits itself with carrying name brand
merchandise at prices lower than traditional wholesale or retail stores.
Costco has about 460 locations nationwide, including two in the Tampa
area, in Brandon and Clearwater, and
a proposed store near the Westchase
community in northwest Hillsborough.
Company officials could not be reached
for comment.
Tampa-based Sierra Properties, still
owns the 40-acre parcel closest to the interstate, which is approved for up to two
hotels. Sierra Properties also owns 204
acres on the north side of S.R. 56 and
is in lease negotiations with several restaurants, a sporting goods retailer and a
department store.
Oakstead Tree Removal Guideline
Revision
Pasco County has become alarmed at the large quantity of trees being removed
and in response has tightened up their scrutiny and enforcement of tree removals.
Also the cost of the Pasco permit has risen from $30 to $50 plus another $30 if they
send an inspector to take a look. In light of this, the Oakstead DRB and HOA has
revised its’ tree removal procedures and the tree removal application
It is strongly encouraged to REPLACE any tree that is removed even if your lot
meets the Pasco County required number of trees for your lot size. The newsletter
and clubhouse has a list of Pasco County approved trees. If replacing a STREET
tree in the narrow strip between the sidewalk and street, give consideration to how
big the tree and root system will get so as to not damage the sidewalk or other infrastructure in the future. Removal of trees in the main yard will not be approved
just because they are dropping leaves or such. DRB / HOA procedures for tree
removal:
If a tree of ANY species is > 3” diameter at chest height, DRB approval is required.
If a tree is > 10” diameter at chest height, the DRB will do a PRE-APPROVAL
if the tree is dead, diseased, or causing a problem to infrastructure such as house
foundation, street, or sidewalk. This includes relocating the tree or removing it
and replacing it with a different species. The owner must THEN obtain the Pasco
County permit and send a copy of it to Associa then FINAL DRB approval will be
issued. The only exception to the Pasco rule is a Pasco permit is NOT required for
longleaf pine trees.
Failure to get DRB approval BEFORE removing a tree will result in a violation
and possible fine. SUBMIITING a tree removal application does not mean you can
remove a tree – the application must be APPROVED. Pasco County may also issue a fine for unapproved tree removal.
Special consideration will be given to trees between the sidewalk and street
(STREET tree) or on the yard side close to the sidewalk. It is important to remember that STREET trees and sidewalks on a lot are owned by the lot owner. Damage
caused by the tree or tree roots to the sidewalk or other infrastructure is the lot
owner’s responsibility.
Pasco County requirements for number of tress on various size
residential lots are:
< 3500 sq. ft - 1 tree. 3500-6000 sq. ft. – 2 trees. 6001-7500 sq. ft – 3 trees.
7501-9500 sq. ft– 4 trees. 9501-16000 sq. ft – 6 trees.
If you have any questions regarding trees, please contact Associa our property
manager. Pasco County’s phone # is 727 847-8142.

Traditions
and History of Celebrating the New Year
New Year’s Day is the first day of
the calendar year in this country. It is celebrated as a holiday in almost every country in the world but at different times of
the year. It is a time of gaiety, sharing with
friends, remembering the past, and hoping
for good things in the future. In the United States, thousands of people jam Times
Square in New York City to welcome the
New Year at midnight. The transition be-
tween New Year's Eve and New Year Day
is an exciting one. In Times Square, people
count down the seconds to welcome the
new day as the New Year ball slowly descends and lights up the area.
Not all countries or cultures celebrate
New Year on January 1st. The Chinese,
Egyptian, Jewish, Roman, and Mohammedan years all have different start dates.
Chinese New Year starts on a different
day each year. Thousands of years ago,
the Egyptians celebrated their New Year
about the middle of June. That was the
time when the Nile River usually overflowed. January 1was recognized as New
Year Day in the 1500's with the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar. The Julian
Calendar places the New Year on January
14. The Jewish New Year, a feast day, is
celebrated about the time of the fall equinox, in late September.
In ancient Rome, the first day of the
New Year honored Janus, the god of
gates, doors, beginnings and endings - the
month of January, named after Janus, was
originally called 'Januarius'. Janus had
two faces - one which looked ahead to see
what the new year would bring, and the
other looked backward to see what happened during the past year. Ancient Romans celebrated New Year by giving gifts
to friends and family members - some
even gave gifts to Senators in exchange for
favors!
In England, Druid priests celebrated
their New Year on March 10. They gave
branches of mistletoe to people for charms.
Later, English people followed the custom
of cleaning their chimneys on New Year
Day. The English believed this brought
good luck to the household for the coming
year. The expression "cleaning the slate"
came from this custom. It means making resolutions to correct faults and bad
habits. People resolve to make themselves
better in the New Year. It is still customary even today to make a list of New Year
resolutions for the coming year.

Start off the New Year with a Safety Check
Make your family safer, step-by-step
• Sound the Alarm: Install smoke detectors on every floor of your home and
carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping
areas. If already installed, test them! Tip:
Replace the batteries every daylight-saving time change.
• Avoid Overload: Check for overloaded extension cords – usage should not
exceed the recommended wattage.
• Don’t Get Tippy: If young children
are in the home, bookshelves and other
furniture should be firmly secured with
wall brackets to prevent tipping.
• Paint Safe: Check walls for loose
paint. If re-painting, do so in a well-ventilated area and consider VOC-free paint.
• Childproof, Childproof, Childproof: Check your local library or online
for complete lists of childproofing suggestions and see our Virtual Home Safety
Tour for more ideas. Areas of particular
danger include outlets, appliances, electronics, stairs and windows.
• Cover Outlets: Cover all unused
outlets to prevent children from sticking a
finger in the socket.
• Watch Cord Placement: Extension
cords should not be placed under rugs or
heavy furniture, tacked up or
coiled while in use.
• Get Grounded: All
major appliances should be
grounded. Be sure to check
your ground fault circuit interrupters regularly.
• Plan Your Escape:
Practice a fire escape plan
with your family where you
identify two exits for every
room and what to do with
young children.
• Give Your Air Heater
Some Space: All air heaters should be placed at least
three feet from beds, curtains
or anything flammable.
• Keep Extinguishers
Handy: Place all-purpose fire
extinguishers in key locations
in your home – the kitchen,
bedroom and basement. Be
sure to check expiration dates regularly
and know how to use them safely.
• Create a Safe Exit: In addition to
alarms and extinguishers, consider an escape ladder if your home has two floors.
Keep emergency numbers and
contacts readily available by
the phone.
• Unplug Appliances:
Unplug appliances and electronics when not in use and
store them out of reach.
• Go New in the Nursery:
Check that all painted cribs,
bassinettes and high chairs
were made after 1978 to avoid
potential lead paint poisoning.
• Cool Your Jets: Set your
water heater below 120 degrees
Fahrenheit to avoid potential
burns and to save energy.
• Put Away Medications:
Take medications and medical supplies out of your purse,
pockets and drawers, and put
them in a cabinet with a child
safety lock.
• Look for UL: The UL
Mark appears on products that have been
tested, verified and inspected for safety.
Make sure to look for it to keep your holidays safe and bright.

Recycling
www.earth911.com
Recycling is the process of taking a product at the end of its useful life and using all or part of it to
make another product. The internationally recognized symbol for recycling includes three arrows moving
in a triangle. Each arrow represents
a different part of the recycling process, from collection to re-manufacture to resale. Recycling reduces our
waste sent to landfills, and making
new products out of recycled ones
reduces the amount of energy needed in production.
The U.S. EPA estimates that 75
percent of our waste is recyclable,
which goes well beyond what you
toss in your recycling bin at home
or at school. Recycling serves two
key purposes:
• It keeps valuable material such
as aluminum and paper out of landfills, so this material can be reused in
other forms and not wasted.
• It prevents hazardous materials and chemicals such as lead and
mercury from ending up in landfills,
which can contaminate soil and leach
into our drinking water
• Because of the second purpose,
it’s important to recycle lots of products, including those that you might
not initially think of recycling. This
includes batteries, electronics, motor oil, paint and any product that
has “Caution” or “Warning” on the
label.

Flushing Wipes Can Clog Your Pipes
Pasco County Sanitary
Sewer Collection System is
a network of sewer lines,
manholes, pumping stations and other structures
used to collect wastewater
and transport it to a treatment plant. With aging infrastructure, Pasco County
is battling the problem of
“ragging” — when baby
wipes, diapers, dental
floss, paper towels and
other items not designed
for flushing entangle sewer
pumps.
While tree roots and
fats, oils, and grease (FOG)
have always been the leading causes of
sewer backups, in recent years sewer agencies around the country are dealing with
the problem of flushable wipes.
Toilet paper manufacturing companies
have been marketing these wipe products
as “flushable” over the last few years, but
wastewater professionals are finding out
these products are not safe for sewage systems
Flushable wipes are supposed to be
biodegradable and break
up like normal toilet paper, but they do not. These
wipes stay firmly intact
and do not disintegrate. As
a result, they will cling to
the interior walls of pipeline and/or get hung up
on snags inside the pipes.
They also clog pumps from
transporting sewage to
treatment plants and eventually they will destroy the
pumps. De-ragging pumps
and unclogging pipes is labor intensive and increases
the cost of maintaining
your sewer system.
Examples of products that you
should not flush include:
• paper towels
• cloth or disposable diapers
• flushable wipes
• sanitary napkins
• certain tampons
Do not flush any items that are not designed to disintegrate like toilet paper when
flushed.

your own yoga mat and $3.
Many people think that yoga
is just stretching. But while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is
really about creating balance in
the body through developing both
strength and flexibility. This is
done through the performance of
poses or postures, each of which
has specific physical benefits. The
poses can be done quickly in succession, creating heat in the body
through movement (vinyasa-style
yoga) or more slowly to increase
stamina and perfect the alignment
of the pose.
