TOPS. #FL407. (Take.Off. Pounds.Sensibly). is. celebrating. 30. years.of. successful. service. to. our.community.. Both. men. and.women. attend. the. weekly.chapter. meetings.. Many. of.their. members. have. been.exceptionally.successful.in.taking.off.the.weight.and.keeping.it.off..Individual.achievements.include.one. man. who. lost. over. 160.pounds.and.a.lady.who.lost.over.

175.pounds!.Others.have.lost.80.pounds. and. more. than. a. few.have. dropped. those. pesky. 20.pounds.or. less. that. just. seem. to.hang.around.But. this. weight. loss. has. not.just. increased. the. members’.comfort.. Living. a. healthier.lifestyle.and.keeping.the.weight.off.has.led.to.many.members.no.longer.needing.to.take.insulin.or.blood.pressure.medications..Talk.

about.a.better.way.to.live!The. FL407. chapter. has. grown.steadily. from. 30. members. to.about. 135,. but. there. is. always.room. for. more. folks. to. get.involved.. Of. the. 270. chapters.in. Florida,. our. chapter. has.consistently. stood.out,. including.two. Florida. State. Kings,. one.Florida.State.Queen.and.even.an.International.King.runner.up!.This.much.recognition.is.very.unusual.

for.a.single.chapter..This.success.is.due. to.all. the.members’.hard.work.but.also.to.the.very.capable.leadership. of. Josephine. Moses..Over.the.past.9.years.Josephine.has.been.an.outstanding.leader..Many.lives.have.been.changed.and. not. a. few. likely. saved.because.of.her. faithfulness.and.selfless.dedication.to.our.chapter.and.our.community.

So,.what’s.involved.in.membership?

Each. chapter. hosts. weekly.meetings. with. the. goal. of.providing. help. and. support. for.members’. weight. loss. efforts..This. help. includes. food. health.programs. with. nurses. and.doctors. presenting. education.on. diabetes,. healthy. living.and. cutting. edge. health.management. techniques..Weight. goals. and. healthy.benchmarks. are. determined.with.the.help.of.each.member’s.physician..We.maintain.an.open.door.policy.and.are.committed.

The. two.previous.occasions. the.hired.air.conditioning.professionals.came.out.to.the.house.and.considered.the. problem..

I. bowed.to. their. supposed. professional.advice. and. went. forward. with.treatment. suggested.. And. did.so. enthusiastically. because,. of.course,.I.was.worried.they.would.tell.me. that.we. needed.a. new.unit..Nope,.just.a.bit.of.a.tune.up,.Mr..Porter,.nothing.at.all.to.worry.about.The.first.treatment.commenced.about. a. year. ago..

time..After.3.days.of.phone.tag.I.finally.heard.back..The.A/C.had.been. broken. (again). now. for. nearly. a. week. and.my. family. was.plenty.steamed..No.matter,.the.repair.folks.volunteered.to.be.out.in.two.or.three.days..This.was.after.three.days.of.phone.tag,.mind.you.I.hung.up.and.called.someone.else.. Fast. forward. through. a.similar. experience.. Now,. over.a. week. into. the. heat. –. and.wondering. how. in. the. world.people. lived. in. FLA. before. air.conditioning. –. I. called. a. 3rd.company..A.“Company.3”.tech.came.out,.looked.at.the.unit.and.gave. us. the. bad. news.. Simply.fixing. the. part. attached. to. the.problem. had. only. delayed. the.inevitable. and. caused. more.serious.problems.Now,. I. don’t. know. why. this.happened.. It.could.be. that. the.

other. two. companies. were. just.trying. to. save. us. some. cash..Or. maybe. they. honestly. did.not. understand. the. cause.and. effect. involved. with. this.particular. mechanical. system;.but,. whatever. the. reason,. their.lack.of.service.was.now.costing.us.big..It.was.time.to.replace.the.unit..Now,.I.have.no.idea.whether.or.not.fixing.the.original.problem.when. it. happened. a. year. ago.would. have. added.more. years.to.the.life.of.my.A/C.unit..But.the.point.is,.now.I’ll.never.know..At. least. Company. 3. had. the.guts. to.tell.me.the.truth.. In. fact,.not. only. did. the. technician.explain. the. bottom. line. –. you.need.a.new.unit.–.he.described.what. happened. and. how.it. happened.. Then. he. did.something. remarkable.. He.described,.without.any.prompting.from.me,.the.steps.taken.by.the.previous. two. companies. and.why. those. halfway. efforts. had.not. only. not. fixed. the. problem.but,. potentially,. contributed. to.the.overall.demise.of.the.unit.Now,. many. of. you. may. be.thinking:. “yeah,. but. I. bet. they.use. that. line. on. everybody.”.Well,. maybe.. But. remember,. I.do.have.some.experience.in.this.area.–.more.than.I.wish.too,.really.

By.Adam.Porter,.EIC.NOKPHey. friends.. Well,. it’s. not.often.you.hear.from.me.twice.in.one.issue,.but.I.hope.you’ll.indulge.me..I.believe.strongly.that.the.story.I.began.on.page.1. should. spark. a. discussion.that.will.change.a.few.things.around.here.for.the.better..Along.those.lines,.I.wanted.to.share.some.tips.I.was.given.by.the.Consumer.Affairs.Register..These. are. their. Suggestions.For.Before.and.After.you.Hire.a.Contractor.or.Vendor.Do.not.be. in.a.hurry. to.hire.the.first.contractor.or.vendor..Obtain. two. of. three. bids. on.the.work.to.be.performed..The.purpose.here.is.not.to.find.the.cheapest. bid.. Unfortunately,.sometimes.the.least.expensive.can. become. the. biggest.headache.Compare. bids. to. assure. all.are.complete.and.cover.your.requirements.. Again,. this. is.not. about. price,. it’s. about.learning. who. is. offering. the.most. complete. pre-work.analysis..If.someone.is.careful.and. conscientious. before.landing.the. job.and.by.habit.of. work,. they. are.more. likely.to.be.so.throughout.the.entire.project.Know.your.contractor.as.well.as. you. can.. Get. references,.inquire. about. other. jobs.they’ve. done. in. the. area..Learn. the. specific. type. of.work.he.or.she.had.done.and.has.an.expertise.in..Plus,.make.sure.he.or.she.is.licensed.and.bonded. by. the. state.. Is. he.or. she. listed. in. the.Consumer.Affairs.Register?Insist. on. a. no-lien. contract.with. him. and. his. or. her. sub-contractors..Insist.on.a.release.of.lien.by.all.parties.involved.in.the.work.being.done.for.you..In.the.event.of.a.dispute,.lien-binding.contracts.can.cause.you.a.slew.of.problems.down.the.line.No. more. than. 25%. of. the.total. cost. should. be. paid.before. the. work. starts.. The.balance,. less. 20%. should. not.be. paid. until. completion. of.the. job.. Whenever. possible,.pay. for.materials. out. of. your.own. pocket.. It. creates. less.liability. for. the. contractor.and. will. make. them. more.amenable.to.taking.less.cash.up. front.. The. remaining. 20%.should. be. withheld. until. the.acceptance. of. the. quality.of. the. job. is. agreed. upon.by. the. homeowner. and. the.contractor.Now,. before. we. discuss.items.that.should.be.included.in. the. contract,. a. word. in.defense.of.good.contractors..

Too.many.times.homeowners.want. to. make. changes. to.the.original.agreement.or.job.description,. thinking. these.are. simply.“nickel.and.dime”.issues. that. can. be. adjusted.later.. Unfortunately. for. many.contractors,.these.“small”.jobs.can. add. up. to. big. trouble.in. terms. of. payroll,. material.cost. and. time. on. job.. The.principle.here.is.to.be.fair.and.responsible.. If.you.want.new,.different.or.more,.that’s.great,.but.expect.to.pay.more.and.to,.perhaps,.have.the.project.split. up. between. the. original.idea.completion.date.and.the.next. time. the.contractor. has.available..That.way.everyone.comes.away.feeling.the.deal.was.equitable.Now,.back.to.the.items.that.should.be.in.the.contract:•All.licenses,.fees.and.permits.are.to.be.obtained.and.paid.for.the.contractor.or.vendor..•What. work. is. to. be. done.by. the. contractor. and.what.work. is. to.be. let.out. to.subcontractors.•Date. to. start. and. finish.the. work. as. well. as. the.approximate. man-hours.involved. in. the. job,. including.the.total.man-hours.expected.of.all.subs.•Type. and. brand. name. of.materials. to. be. use,. where.possible..This.can.be.omitted.if.you.purchase.the.materials.at.the.behest.of.the.contractor.•Job.should.be.spelled.out.in.phase.order.from.start.to.finish.with.completion.date.•Contract.should.state.which.items. belong. to. homeowner.or. are. to. be. removed. by.contractor,. ie:. old. windows,.doorframes,.cabinets,.etc.•What.hours.will. be.worked.each.day..If.you.are.an.early.or.late.riser.or.a.night.owl,.your.contractor. needs. to. know..(You.may.also.want. to.warn.your. neighbors. ahead. of.time…it’s.just.polite).•They. should. list. all.warranties. and. guarantees.by. contractors. and. on. each.item. purchased.. Work. area.to.be.cleaned.at. the.end.of.each. workday,. all. debris. to.be.removed.from.the.job.site.by.the.contractor.And,. finally,. refer. to.the. Preferred. Services.Provider. on. the. website. at.www.NewsOfKingsPoint.com.for. a. list. of. service. providers.that.have.proven.trustworthy.Okay,. so. there. you. have.it..Of.course. this. is. in.no.way.a. comprehensive. list. and.nothing.can.take.the.place.of.vigilance.and.common.sense..Happy.contracting!

By.Samantha.MazzottaFairy.Rings

Q:. I. believe. that. I. have. two.areas.in.my.back.lawn.that.are.“fairy.rings.”.They.have.a.center.of.green.grass.that.is.surrounded.by.dead.grass..Is.there.anything.I. can. do. about. this?. --. Fred. J.,.TorontoA:. Fairy. rings. are. caused. by.growth.of.a.certain.type.of.fungi.(mushrooms),.which,.above.the.surface,. grow. within. the. dead.or.thin.area.of.the.circle..Below.the.surface,.a.dense.fungal.mat.is.usually.well.established.by.the.time. the. characteristic. “ring”.appears. on. the. lawn.. These.rings.measure. a. couple. feet. in.diameter.but.gradually.expand.over.time,.to.as.large.as.20.feet.The. rings. are. annoying. and,.like.most.fungal.growth,.are.very.difficult. to. control.. However,.there.are.options.to.try.One. method,. which. can.be. undertaken. quickly. with.minimal.damage.to.the.lawn,.is.to. reduce. the. influence.of. fairy.rings.. Fertilize. the. area. several.times. per. year. with. nitrogen-rich. fertilizer. to. mask. the. fairy.rings. somewhat.. To. stimulate.grass.growth. in. the.dead.areas.of. the. rings,. you’ll. need. to.aerate.and.get.water.beneath.the. fungal. mat. (comprised. of.weblike.mycelium.fungus).that’s.causing. the. problem.. Do. this.by. attaching. a. root. feeder. to.

your. garden.hose.. Punch.holes.in. the.dying.area.about.a. foot.apart. and. at. least. 12. inches.deep,.then.insert.the.root.feeder.into. the.holes.and. saturate. the.ground.underneath.the.mat.with.water.. Repeat. often.. The. idea.is. to. change. the. soil. moisture,.increase. airflow,. and. change.the.chemical.makeup.of.the.soil.to.retard.fungal.growth.A.more. invasive.option,.which.must. be. undertaken. carefully.so. as. not. to. spread. the. fungus.to. other. parts. of. the. lawn,. is.to. completely. remove. the.affected. sod,. cutting. out. an.area.1.foot.beyond.the.edge.of.the. rings.. Then,. dig. out. the. soil.to.1.foot.in.depth..Note.that.the.sod.and.soil.must.be.completely.isolated.from.the.rest.of.the.lawn.and.disposed.of.far.away.Replace. the. soil. with. new,.unaffected. soil.. Then. either.reseed. or. resod.. North. Dakota.State. University’s. Agricultural.Extension. recommends.reseeding. rather. than.replacing.the.sod,.as. the. risk.of.reintroducing. the. fungi. is.much.lower.HOME. TIP:. Fungi. are. the.most.common.cause.of.lawn.disease,.but.they.can.be.managed.and.prevented. with. routine. lawn.maintenance,. including. proper.watering,. fertilization,. mowing.and.ensuring.the.soil.is.aerated.©.2011.King.Features.Synd.,.Inc.
