Help Wanted with Sea Pines News

The Sea Pines newsletter staff is seeking a volunteer part-time Desktop Publishing (DTP) professional to share duties with the incumbent.

Candidates must be proficient with a desktop pub-lishing application such as Microsoft Office Publisher, Adobe PageMaker, QuarkXpress, or other leading DTP software. MS-Word is a minimally satisfactory alternative, but may be used. A template for MS-Publisher will be provided and should be adhered to.

It is believed that this candidate could share newslet-ter layout and publishing duties on an every-other-month schedule. The candidate will be responsible for complete monthly layouts as the Sea Pines News is too small a newsletter to share layout duties within a single month.

Basic startup training will be provided, but the candi-date must have a thorough background knowledge of the principles of DTP and familiarity with the Associ-ated Press Style Guide (AP Stylebook) and GPO (Government Printing Office) Style Guide.

Interested parties should e-mail their qualifications or résumé to [email protected].

Kitty is still thinking of moving and may quit editing the newsletter. She has been using Microsoft Publisher as her current format, so this might be helpful for the next editor to know.

The parks are mowed and fences have been put up.

Six volunteers plus the boy scouts attend Adopt-a-road. We filled the dumpster. Bill was not in attendance to speak on the subject.

Dennis has done an excellent job on the Sea Pines website. Deed restriction and other important information are avail-able. The website will be posted on the civic building, road signs and the truck doors.

Under old business, Residents with mooring lots cannot be sold without house included. Three residents received letters regarding this.

A motion was made to have our dues raised $5.00. From

$15.00 to $20.00 for a single person, and from $30.00 to $35.00 for a family. Mark Nuzzo made the motion, and Maureen Leibach second. A vote was taken and the ‘yes’ vote took it.

It was also mention that at future date we will be raising the mowing fee.

Letters are being sent to residents about drainage prob-lems in the woodland sections. It talks about ditches being cleared etc. Some properties can’t be mowed because there is so much run off from other properties after a rain the mower just sinks into the ground.

Large sign on the Birdcage will be addressed soon by Jack.

A discussion was had on how to get people interested in Sea Pines activities. In years pass we used to have loads of fun and lots of people coming to our picnics, parties, din-ners etc. If anyone has any ideas, we would love to hear them.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:56 PM

If you have problems with dogs, loud noise, or illegally parked vehicles, etc, report this situa-tion by going to www.sea-pines.net and click-ing on Pasco County Code Enforcement, or calling the respective agency.

Cut out the Important Numbers list below and place it near your phone.

Marinated mushrooms

Take fresh mushrooms… any kind, or a variety of types. Clean the mushrooms and put in a bowl. Add just enough Italian salad dressing to cover them. Let them stand in the frig an hour or longer. Serve. A lovely crystal bowl is the perfect way to serve these little gems!

Pizza

Use pizza crust. To it add shredded mozzarella and some Italian seasoning. Bake per instructions on crust. Cut into small wedges. Serve warm & melted. Sprinkle the plate with Italian seasoning… this will “pretty” it up! You might even add wedges of pep-peroni, or maybe some olives, or marinated arti-chokes.

Sweet Treat

Use a can of B&M Brown Bread with raisins. Slice first, then cut slices into wedges. Top (or pipe) with softened cream cheese. Serve on a plate with a bowl of nuts in the center!

Barbeque Meatballs

Buy frozen meatballs. In a slow cooker add 1 bottle of honey barbeque sauce, and 1 jar of grape jelly. Cook until heated! Serve them in a lovely bowl.

Easier

Buy a bag of those lovely chicken wings that are al-ready cooked. You just heat them up. Serve them with a small bowl of ranch dressing, and you might lay the wings on a bed of spinach.

The easiest

Use celery. Cut into pick-up size pieces. Fill with cream cheese, or maybe peanut butter! You could sprinkle the cheese with some paprika or you might top the peanut butter with finely chopped praline nuts!

Even just using a crystal bowl or plate will make your food look so appetizing! Use your imagination and you will be able to impress without doing lots of cooking, or work. Enjoy your company & the holidays! The reci-pes also include serving suggestions…. But please, use you imagination!

Real Estate Update Connie L. Nies

Wow! We are fast approaching the holiday and clos-ing in on another year! I hope everyone has a won-derful and safe Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends in this tough times and economy!!

Just wanted to talk a little bit about the appraisal process and how it is affecting our real estate trans-action today. The tough situation now is, what do you do when an appraiser wrecks your sale, pur-chase or refinancing with a lowball evaluation?

Mixed real estate values are nothing new, but agents, builders, and sellers say current market conditions—plus recent changes in federal rules that effectively encourage banks to use in-house or affiliated appraisal management companies---are magnifying the problem.

So what do you do to lessen the chance that a botched appraisal will torpedo your transaction?

Be proactive. Federal rules allow you to provide the appraiser your own comps—recently sold properties of a similar size, condition and amenity levels in your immediate market area. Your realty agent can help you pull the comps together before the ap-praiser arrives. Or for a fee, you can hire an experi-enced local appraiser to assist you.

If you are aware of any situations of comparable sales in the neighborhood, where the price was af-fected by divorce, financial distress or heavy seller concessions to the buyer, “make sure you call the appraiser’s attention to these factors. Please give the appraiser a list of all the value-enhancing up-grades and improvements you’ve made, including dates and costs.

Accompany the appraiser during the inspection. Ask questions crucial to competency: Where are you based? How long have you been in the business? What type of certifications and professionals desig-nations do you hold? Are you a member of the local MLS—a treasure trove of data for any accurate ap-praisal? Know your local agents or brokers who can supply pending sales information and guide you on neighborhood price trends?

If the appraiser doesn’t have good answers, you’re more likely to end up with a poor appraisal. Alert the lender to your concerns as early as possible.

Always ask for a copy of the appraisal report—it’s your right under federal law. If the value comes in low, check everything from the selection of comps to the accuracy of property measurements. If you find serious mistakes and the appraiser refuses to make corrections, appeal to the lender. There are laws for “reconsideration of value”. Ask for a second valua-tion by a local competent appraiser, even if the costs you more money.

Finally, if the lender stonewalls you and the deal falls through, consider filing a complaint with your state appraisal board. You can find contact informa-tion at www.asc.gov/State-Appraiser-Regulatory-Programs/StateContactInformation.aspx?state=FL Connie L. Nies, Smith & Associates Real Estate

With more than 135 years of experience, Holland America Line is recognized as a leader in the cruise industry's premium segment. Its 15 ships sail to more than 320 ports of call on all seven continents, ranging from popular Car-ibbean and Alaska itineraries to exotic cruises to the far corners of the world.

Over the course of the company's long history, first as a cargo- and passenger-shipping carrier, and subsequently a leisure-cruise line, Holland America Line has carried more than 10 million passengers from Europe to the New World and to vacation destina-tions across the globe including an ongoing program of unparalleled product and service enhancements to its fleet of five-star ships.

Called Signature of Excellence, this initiative builds on Holland America Line's renowned Tradition of Excellence® by signifi-cantly raising the standard in premium cruising. The comprehensive enhancements focus on five areas central to the guest ex-perience: spacious, elegant ships and accommodations; sophisticated five-star dining; gracious, Award-winning service; extensive enrichment programs and activities; and compelling worldwide itineraries.

Providing Passage to the New World

Holland America Line was founded in 1873 as the Netherlands-America Steamship Company (NASM), a shipping and passenger line. Because it was headquartered in Rotterdam and provided service to the Americas, it became known as Holland America Line. The company's first ocean liner was the Rotterdam, which sailed its maiden voyage from the Netherlands to New York City on Oct. 15, 1872. The one-way voyage took 15 days. Following that first voyage, Holland America Line has seen a series of bench-mark moments in its history.

• By its 25th anniversary, Holland America Line owned a fleet of six cargo and passenger ships, and also provided service be-tween Holland and the Dutch East Indies via the newly constructed Suez Canal.

• The line was a principal carrier of immigrants from Europe to the United States until well after the turn of the century, car-rying 850,000 to new lives in the New World.

• In 1895, the company offered its first vacation cruise; its second leisure cruise, from New York to the Holy Land, was in 1910.

• In 1971, the line suspended its transatlantic passenger trade and turned to offering cruise vacations full time.

• In 1989, the line became a wholly owned subsidiary of Carnival Corp., the largest cruise company in the world.

Compelling Worldwide Itineraries

Holland America Line's fleet of 14 ships offers nearly 500 cruises to 314 ports in more than 100 countries, territories or dependen-cies. Two- to 108-day itineraries visit all seven continents, and highlights include Antarctica, South America, Australia/New Zea-land and Asia voyages; a Grand World Voyage; and popular sailings to ports in the Caribbean, Alaska, Mexico, Canada/New Eng-land, Europe and Panama Canal.

The Pasco Sheriff’s Office is again gathering food and monetary donations to provide a number of needy families a holiday meal in December. We have met with great success every year in this endeavor thanks to the generosity of agency members, community groups, area businesses, and Pasco citizens. An example of this support includes the thousands of cans of food collected and donated by Pasco school students and employees for last year’s drive. The number of families who need our support grows every year. Our goal for 2011 is to provide 1,300 families with a Christmas basket containing a gift card for a turkey or ham and all the “trimmings.” We are pleased to also provide special food items for families who have children 18 months old or younger (as long as the donations last). There will be donation boxes placed in

the lobbies of Pasco Sheriff’s Office buildings. All donations must be re-ceived by Friday, December 16. We are looking for non-perishable boxed or canned food items, such as instant pota-toes and canned vegetables. We are also asking for monetary donations, since we also include a turkey or ham gift card in the holiday meal for the families, and the cost adds up fast! If you would like to drop off a toy for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots drive, please ensure that it is a new, unwrapped toy and we will turn it over to them for presentation to a needy child. If you can assist us during our holiday food drive, it would be greatly appreci-ated. By making a small cash donation or buying an extra item or two each time you visit a grocery store, your generosity will help to make this holiday season a memorable one for many Pasco families. If you can help in any way, please contact

Adopt-a-Road News

Our next adopt-a-road will be on Saturday, December 10th at 8:00 AM. This will be a good opportunity to clean up Old Dixie Hwy before the holidays! Please meet at the clubhouse by 8:00 AM and we will have coffee and donuts. The more volunteers we have the better and the job gets done faster!

Thanks Bill Lusk
