The Majestic Oaks CLEOs (Classy Ladies Eating Out) were sighted at Bahama Breeze in Wesley Chapel. Thirty ladies enjoyed Caribbean-influenced dishes and, of course, great conversation.
This outing was the first of the winter season’s monthly luncheon. Members take turns picking restaurants and providing menu information so ladies can sign up.
Thanksgiving was a popular event at Majestic Oaks. Ladies decorated the tables in hopes of winning the judge’s approval. Sun Communities provided the turkeys and hams for the volunteers to prepare and cook for 108 residents.

On Nov. 22, we found more than 90 people in the community center celebrating Thanksgiving Day. The center was filled with residents and friends talking amongst each other and having a wonderful time.
At this time, a fruit cup was placed in front of each person attending. Before the meal was served, Dave Heim said the grace while we bowed our heads in silence. He did a fine job.
After the grace, tables were called to get their meal which consisted of turkey (white or dark meat), mashed potatoes,
Dennis O’Brien, Bob Ashline and Herb Burnell.

Residents Thankful For Each Other
From Thanksgiving To ChristmasLeftover Turkey Makes Delicious Soup
After a year’s absence, dining services and programming for the elderly are returning to St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church of Zephyrhills.
The county’s Zephyrhills Senior Center closed shop last December as St. Elizabeth’s could no longer afford to host programs, citing a rise in utility costs as the determining factor.
For the last year, seniors who wanted to take advantage of county programs had to find a way to Dade City’s Senior Services Center to receive daily nutritious meals and socialization as it was the only other meal site in the eastern part of Pasco. The Senior Services Division of the Community Services Department provides hot meals, socialization, nutrition education, and nutrition counseling at several locations.
“We’re excited… and grateful for the support of St. Elizabeth’s,” said Community Services Director Kim Price. “Enhanced new offerings and classes in partnership with the YMCA and CARES will be part of the experience.”
Typically, 25 to 30 seniors a day dined at the Zephyrhills location in previous years.
The Pasco County Board of Commissioners agreed on Nov. 27 to a $6,000-a-year lease with St. Elizabeth’s for the church to serve as a senior center site.

Side dishes were provided by each table’s residents.
Later in the afternoon, desserts were shared and coffee provided. No one went away disappointed.
In addition to Thanksgiving, the Saturday following is traditionally the time the club house is decorated for Christmas. Volunteers gather in the morning to put up and decorate four Christmas trees and other areas in the club house. The “Resident Tree” is covered with personalized ornaments and is featured on the stage. Other trees are color themed and one features red, white and blue ornaments.
The day is capped off with homemade turkey soup and rolls for lunch. Suzanne McMullen and Susan Turner were the chefs responsible for the very tasty
soups using the turkey leftover from Thanksgiving.
Majestic Oaks residents are contributing generously for Thomas Promise’s food pantry to be distributed to children who are challenged with enough food for the weekends.

Soup It Up This Winter Season
Have you ever just had the hankering for a bowl of soup on a chilly day? Of course we can all go to our pantries and open up a can of our favorite retailed brand of soup, but wouldn’t it taste much better cooked in your own kitchen?
You know – the kind that has everything but the kitchen sink in it. Whether you are a northerner reminiscing about your grandmother’s favorite chili recipe on a cold and blustery day or you are from the southern part of the U.S. where soups are only served at restaurants because they are not part of the typical meal plan.
Might I suggest you rethink soup? Let’s look at only the benefits for a moment. You can clean out your fridge and make “Dump or Refrigerator” soup. You can use up all of those random cans of veggies in your pantry and make vegetable soup? How about that left over chicken you got from KFC the other day? Cook it down, add some celery and onions, a bag of noodles and you’ve got homemade chicken noodle soup.
And, I know all of you at one time or another has turned down the thermostat to 65 on a hot Florida day just so you could eat some chili. No matter what the season, you can never go wrong with soup.
A big pot always tastes better the second day and freezing in smaller portions is a great way to get four or five meals out of one preparation. So next time you are stuck and wondering what to make for dinner, get out the largest pot you have and start dumping!
One of my all-time favorites is beef barley soup. Either oven bake or pressure cook a roast for dinner one night. Use the remainder of what you have left, drippings and all, and bring to a simmer with equal parts of water and French onion soup. I like to let mine simmer for about an hour. Add the appropriate amount of barley based upon the amount of stock you have and cook until the barley is tender.
It’s fast, easy, delicious and freezes beautifully.

Elks Member Celebrates 101st Birthday
On Nov. 2, the day before his birthday, Charlie Vanbuskirk celebrated his 101st birthday at the Zephyrhills Elks Lodge #2731. The Friday festivities were held during the club’s normal fish fry dinner, complete with a birthday cake, balloons and presents.
Many of Vanbuskirk’s friends delivered their well wishes, cards and congratulations.
Vanbuskirk was one of the Lodge’s many charter members who started the BPOE #2731 in 1987.
Over the summer, he regularly attended the Lodge’s Feed the Kids program on Wednesdays. The children called him Grandpa and he would give them “Grandpa Hugs.” The kids loved it.
Longtime Zephyrhills elks member charlie vanbuskirk turned 101 on nov. 3.
New Prescription Medication Disposal MethodX-tra Discount Drugs is partnering
with Sharps Compliance, Inc. to combat the growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse by providing solutions to safely dispose of opioid painkillers and other unused medications.
MedSafe drug collection and disposal receptacle is now located inside X-tra Discount Drugs, 6953 Gall Blvd., for the safe and anonymous disposal of unused or expired medicines and controlled substances.
“We often receive questions from our customers asking how they can safely get rid of their unused medications,” said Pharmacist Evelyn Johnson. “We’re happy to be able to give back to our community and customers by providing a
safe solution to getting unused medications out of their homes and harm’s way.”
Customers can simply bring in their unused pills to the pharmacy and drop them into a Sharps Compliance MedSafe, which is a specially-designed receptacle for the safe, cost-effective, and convenient way to dispose of potentially dangerous drugs.
“Safe disposal of prescription medication is a vital strategy for preventing prescription drug abuse and keeping the water supply safe,” said David P. Tusa, president and chief executive officer Sharps Compliance, Inc. “We are thrilled to partner with pharmacies and healthcare organizations to provide a convenient method to dispose of
unwanted medications.” Since 2009, Sharps Compliance
– a nationwide provider of management services for medical waste and unused medication, including controlled substances – has sold or leased more than 2,400 MedSafe receptacles and collected more than two million pounds of unused medications.
The MedSafe receptacles are securely installed and can only be accessed and emptied by two pharmacy employees as required by the DEA guidelines.
MedSafe receptacles are located in retail pharmacies, long-term care facilities, hospitals and clinics with onsite pharmacies, law enforcement, government agencies and narcotic treatment facilities.

The contract is for three years.The cost of utilities at the church have increased
considerably since the partnership began eight years ago. But after an unsuccessful search for a “no-cost-to-the-
county facility,” the church agreed to a lease agreement with the Pasco County Senior Services Division for a monthly $500 fee to contribute toward the cost of utilities.
St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church of Zephyrhills is located at 5855 16th St., and according to Brendan Fitterer, a county public information officer, meals will restart Monday, Dec. 10, where a county coordinator will work with volunteers in preparing and serving the food.
Meals and programming will be available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“We’re excited to return home to St. Elizabeth’s, and we’re grateful for their partnership,” said Pasco County Senior Services Manager Diane Cunningham. “The location is central and convenient, and we look forward to expanding our programming in Zephyrhills.”
To register for meal and program services prior to Dec. 10, call the Dade City Senior Center at (352) 521-5151.

There also was coffee and/or tea plus dessert which included apple pie, pumpkin pie or vanilla cake. There was enough food if anyone wanted seconds but most people found one portion more than enough. The turkey was so moist and, I heard that, the gravy was delicious.
Everything was superb and simply delightful. One thing was better than the next.
This was hosted by Mary and Dave Heim while Andy Castonguay was teaching. Andy and his wife Margaret had headed this for years and they had much experience that they handed down to Dave and Mary.
The elves who were helping out consisted of Paul and Norma Oi, Carol and Clayton George, Rosie Semian, Linda Rogers and also Andy and Margaret
Castonguay and Dave and Mary Heim. They made a great team.
Everything ran so smoothly as each
person had a specific job and it was done to perfection. Pictures were taken. Our sincere thanks go out to all who helped.

Popular Civil War Re-enactment Returns
Just as the famous saying predicted, the south did rise again.
And then, right on cue, was quickly bested once again by Union troops. The Pioneer Museum and Village hosted its Civil War re-enactment two weeks ago and a sizable crowd of spectators watched an important piece of history unfold.
According to museum Executive Director Stephanie Black, a re-enactment hasn’t taken place at the grounds for five years, but popular demand brought the event back in February.
The museum’s guests were transported back in time to the 1800s, taking in the traditional sights and sounds of the era. Vendors touted clothing, appliances, tools, and 19th century memorabilia while guests rocked out to folksy jams provided by “7 lbs. of Bacon.”
“Everyone being out here in period costumes, it’s not just the re-enactments but the sort of fashion show and the traditional crafters that are here as well,” said Black. “It’s just so nice to see everybody out here and dressed up and bringing the place to life.”
The highly anticipated battle kicked off at 2 p.m. when Confederate troops ambushed the Union camp. The legendary skirmish commenced as the Union soldiers fought to drive the Confederates back and reinforcements were called in on both sides. Guns fired and bodies dropped, cannons boomed and battle cries rang out. After nearly an hour of fighting, the Union emerged victorious.
“The whole thing is so well choreographed on both sides. No one gets hurt and they all just have such a great time,” said Black. “The re-enactors do a lot of research to make the whole thing accurate.”
After two successful runs this year, the Civil War re-enactments have reacquired their annual run status at the museum, much to the joy of Black and her staff.
“The re-enactments were very successful in February. We held our field trip day on Friday before the main event, and it all has seemed to work out just so well,” Black said.
The next Civil War re-enactment is expected to take place next February. In the meantime, the museum is gearing up for some yuletide cheer with a number of holiday events.
