July 2011 - Southshore Falls | By Del Webb

Wayne, Barbara Rabineau bring Musical
Greatness to Southshore Falls, Apollo Beach as
DJ’s, Party Planners
Wayne and Barbara Rabineau know good music. A professional musician, Wayne
Rabineau played with Mitch Ryder, Bob Seger, Tommy James and many other
stars during his long career.
He still plays in a band in Michigan during the summer with his friends Frank
Cusmano, Tom and Debbie Reno, but this year they won’t make the trip--Barbara has a job in Tampa. But that’s okay, because the Rabineau’s enjoy their
lifestyle at Del Webb Southshore Falls so much.
Wayne and Barbara, owners of Elite Entertainment, serve as Southshore Falls’
resident DJ and Party Planners. They specialize in 50’s and 60’s music, and they
have organized more than 10 events so far at Del Webb Southshore Falls this
year, including a dinner dance for the Women's Club.

“We do all kinds of parties, from banquets, karaoke, and pool parties to weddings,” Wayne said. In October, the Rabineau’s will perform at the wedding of
Dominique Cotrone, Southshore Falls’ Lifestyle Director.
“We plan to expand our services to Del Webb communities in Orlando and Pulte
Group communities in Sarasota,” Rabineau explained.
Wayne and Barbara purchased their home in Del Webb Southshore Falls three
years ago. When they honeymooned in Key West, they both decided they wanted
to live in Florida. A brother-in-law with ties to Pulte Homes and Centex Homes
told them about Pulte's building practices and so the Rabineau’s decided to
learn more about Del Webb communities. One visit to Southshore Falls was all it
took.
“The staff and people we work with here are amazing,” Rabineau said. “The people living in Southshore Falls really love our music---they are our generation,” he
said.
Elite Entertainment has been in business since 1990 in Michigan and Florida.
“We strive for excellence at every event, providing quality entertainment for you
and your guests,” Rabineau said. “Elite Entertainment listens to you, making
your vision become reality.”

Thank you for a great Father’s Day
The Father’s Day pool party hosted by Del Webb was a great success! Many people gathered around
the pool and enjoyed the chicken skewers and ribs outside the Wellspring Clubhouse. Quite a few
residents learned a new dance with the staff, boogied the day away, and ended up with a new skill and
a nice tan line! Sales and Vacation Getaway guests enjoyed meeting the residents and shared a great
time together. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who helped out with the day, cooked the food,
served the food, and helped set up and break down. We can’t do it without the residents!
The Lea’s Trip to China
In May, we scratched off one of many trips from our “Travel bucket list”. On this fantastic journey we
traveled to the Far East spending 17 days in China and Hong Kong. Our trip was planned and escorted by
a superb travel company, Viking River Cruises, which enabled us to see and feel a culture which
previously we had only read or heard about. We traveled by plane, bus, and riverboat seeing the ancient,
the modern, the poor, the everyday, and the well-to-do in one of the world’s largest countries. It is a trip
that we cannot keep from talking about, both with each other and our friends.
Del Webb’s 1000 Cooks for the Cure
A chance to do good while having a good
time. On Saturday, July 16th from 6-8 PM
you’re invited to the Cook for the Cure party!
This is a potluck & BYOB Dinner Event where
residents will sign up to bring one of the following dishes: appetizer, salad, main course,
or dessert. Only rule would be that all dishes
must incorporate the color PINK somehow
(dish they serve on or in the food).
We will be accepting donations at the door in
sponsorship with Susan G. Komen
foundation and Kitchenaid. All
donations are greatly appreciated
and go straight to the Susan G. Komen
foundation. A donation form is a must for any
monetary donation. The donation will have
our community ID# and will allocate the funds
to Southshore Falls.
In support of this great cause, I would like to
invite any women in the community who have
dealt with or are battling breast cancer to sign
up to be part of the Resident Honorary Board,
which will be displayed at the party! Please
email the Lifestyle Director if you would like to
be part of this honorary board.
Southshore Falls will be competing against
other Del Webb’s in the state of Florida to see
which community collects the most donations.
The community that collects the most
donations will receive an amenity
“Kitchen Upgrade” by Kitchenaid.
According to breastcancer.org
• About 1 in 8 women in the United States (12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
• For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer.
• Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among U.S. women. More than 1 in 4
cancers in women (about 28%) are breast cancer.
• In 2010, there were more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.
• A women’s risk of breast cancer approximately doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who
has been diagnosed with breast cancer. About 20-30% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a family history of
breast cancer.
• The most significant risk factors for breast cancer are gender (being a women) and age (growing older).
Santa needed a vacation
so he is coming to
Southshore Falls!
Join us at 7:00 pm in the Social Hall for a evening full
of dancing, Secret Santa, Christmas cookies,
hot cocoa, Christmas carols, and complimentary
pictures with Santa to take home.
Call for Volunteers
We are currently looking for volunteers to help us set up and break down the Christmas in July event. A
setup party will be held on Friday, July 22nd, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Social Hall. To get in the
spirit of Christmas that day, we will be setting up, decorating trees, making cookies, and listening to
Christmas carols. A similar party will be held on Sunday, July 24th, starting at 10:00 a.m. to help us
return the Social Hall to its usual state. Are you ready to help out? Sign up in the Wellspring Clubhouse.

Taste Testers Report
If any of you have been fortunate enough to travel abroad, and to Italy specifically, you probably came
back with the attitude that we just can’t get authentic Italian food in this country. Well, you may or may
not be right, but one thing is sure: we certainly have some great restaurants in the Tampa Bay area.
Several of our dinner groups, now known as the Taste Testers, have visited a few of our local Italian
restaurants. Here are a few reviews from our dining enthusiasts:
Joia, Gibsonton Road, Gibsonton: Good Italian food, incredibly strong drinks (2-for-1 pricing), private area
for groups at one long table.
Bernini’s, Ybor City, Tampa: Elegant but noisy Italian restaurant with excellent food. We were seated
along the front, next to the entrance, so we didn’t get much opportunity to enjoy the ambiance or music;
a better option would be upstairs at the back, if the entire party can handle the long staircase.
If you are interested in joining one of our many Taste Testers groups, please sign up in the book in the
clubhouse or call Peggy Retsch at 645-9309.
Fantasy Football 2011—
2011—The Southshore Falls 8Balls
Fantasy Football 2011 is almost here. This year we would like to expand the league from eight teams to
twelve. Currently we have nine team owners and are looking for three more. The live online draft is scheduled for August 31st at 7:30 p.m. Entry fee is $50 per team. Last year's winner, Bob Doyon (Tiger Cubs),
is eager to repeat as champion. The league is run on the computer at Yahoosports.com. All owners have
to do is set their lineups for each week. The computer takes care of scoring each team's points for the
week.
For more information, call Don Whiteman at (941) 730-2533, e-mail him at [email protected], or
contact any team owner (Bob Doyon, Steve Gelber, Tom Hines, Frank Beckous, Bob Waite,
Wayne Jensen, or Bill Hensor). During the season, we meet in the Internet Café every Wednesday
morning at 11:00 a.m. for banter, shooting the breeze, and weekly results from the “football experts”
of Southshore Falls.
New Neighborhood Wine Group
NEW GROUP FORMING
I am searching for Southshore Falls residents who would like to be part of a new neighborhood wine
group. Currently I have five residents who are eager to form a group but need a few more of their
neighbors to join them. A group is made up of five to seven couples (singles are welcome) who meet once
a month at a member’s home. Each pair brings a bottle of a preselected variety of wine plus an hors
d’oeuvre to go with it. The participants hold a blind tasting, discuss and rate the wines,
and then socialize while enjoying finger foods and good company.
If you are interested, please sign up at the clubhouse; if you have any questions, call
Barry Lea at 938-5580.
Travel Club
Norwegian Cruise Lines is bringing “Freestyle Cruising” to Tampa, and I have reserved space on the
Norwegian Star. The cruise departs Tampa on March 4, 2012, for seven days with stops in Belize,
Honduras, Costa Maya, and Cozumel. The cabin prices begin at $549.12 for an inside stateroom; outside
with a porthole for $659.12; outside with a picture window at $699.12; and rooms with balconies for
$879.12. All prices are per person, based on double occupancy, and do not include insurance and
transfers. Based on the responses I have already received, this is sure to be another fun-filled Southshore
Falls Travelers’ cruise. For more information, give me call or look for flyers at the clubhouse.
My hold on group space has expired on Royal Caribbean’s November
12th seven-day Oasis of the Seas sailing from Fort Lauderdale, but
bookings may still be available. Forty-five guests from Southshore

Wine and Design Evening
Southshore Falls “Wine & Design” event was really fun! Lots of participation from everyone present!
I covered the basic principles of interior design, touching upon color theory, pattern flow, space
correlation, scale and ways to assist smaller pieces and spaces with the use of accessories to draw your
eye upward, creating focal points, deciding on best solutions for window treatments, to name a few.
Many participants brought photos along and asked
questions concerning what colors to paint walls,
or what to bring to an existing room to add "pop", better

Hurricane Preparedness
The National Hurricane Center is predicting an above-normal hurricane season for 2011, which began
June 1. The prediction is for sixteen named storms, nine hurricanes, and five major hurricanes. Now is the
time to get prepared. According to the NHC, there are several steps involved in being prepared. Some of
those things include developing a family plan, creating a disaster supply kit, having a place to go, securing your home, and having a place for your pet.
The most important thing you can do is to be informed and prepared. Disaster prevention includes both
being prepared and reducing damage. Disaster prevention includes having the supplies on hand to
weather the storm. The suggestions provided here are only guides. For more information about shelters,
evacuation zones, and other ways to be prepared, go to the Hillsborough County Emergency Management
site at http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/emergency.
It is important to create a disaster supply kit. There are certain items you will need regardless of where
you ride out a hurricane. The disaster supply kit comes in very handy if you must evacuate and makes you
more secure if you remain in your home.

spare tire around your waist, whatever it is that has been stopping you in the
past—let it go! You can change your life and create new results for yourself

learn how to move your body to fix the pain, which will create energy and banish the fatigue. You have the power to heal yourself; as Nike says, “Just do it”!

'Fitness can save your life'
GOAL: To swim in the 2012 United States Masters Swimming Summer Nationals long
course meters in Omaha, Neb.
Why I did it: In 2002, I was 40 years old, 6 feet tall, 235 pounds and not in very good
shape. Heart disease runs in my family. My dad succumbed to a massive heart attack at 49. His father and my great-grandfather died at about the same age. I was
paranoid and felt that getting to my 50s might be out of reach due to genetic fate.
By summer 2008, I had been working out at the local gym lifting weights. I had dropped some weight and was looking much
better, but I lacked real conditioning. I had never been a swimmer, but I was comfortable in the water.
I was watching the Olympics and told my wife, Debbie, I could swim as fast as those on television. We began teasing and kidding each other about my swimming ability. We decided to settle the dispute by seeing how fast I could swim.
We went to the gym and Debbie brought the stopwatch. I swam across the pool in 12 seconds. Not bad, I thought. I figured I
was almost as fast as an Olympian and that I'd won the argument with wife. Boy, did I have a lot to learn.
HOW I DID IT: I started swimming at least three times a week. I would swim across the pool as fast as possible, catch my
breath and then swim back. Then I met Laura Ghilik-Micu, a swim coach who taught me a lot about swimming -- the strokes,
structured workouts and sets. She asked me about my goals, and I informed her that London 2012 sounded good. She chuckled and suggested I join and compete in Masters swimming. Laura also worked with my wife, a personal trainer
(dpfitnessandwellness.com).
In late 2008, I joined United States Masters Swimming. I swam my first event in February 2009 and was hooked. I kept swimming, and my wife kept coaching me about strength training and nutrition. I looked better than ever, I was down to 170
pounds. USMS events gave me motivation and a goal. Then, at one of the meets, a fellow USMS swimmer suggested I join the
Tampa Metro Masters (TMM). I realize I won't swim at the Olympics, but I have competed in many meets, including the 2010
short-course nationals at Georgia Tech, where I was on deck and swimming with current and former Olympians. I met Rowdy
Gaines and attended a clinic with Aaron Peirsol, who let me hold one of his Olympic gold medals from Beijing.
HURDLES: On Oct. 26, 2010, I was 49 and swimming some long sets in the pool. I started to feel light-headed and stopped
swimming. I never do that. I got out of the pool to sit for a few minutes. But as I got up, I felt hot, clammy and my back was
tight. I got dressed for work, but I was sluggish. At work, co-workers said I looked terrible. I had all the signs of a heart attack,
but finished my shift and went home. My chest still hurt the next morning, and my wife took me to the emergency room, Yes , I
know I did everything wrong, and should have gone to the hospital right away. I spent two days in the cardiac care unit, and
found out I didn't have a heart attack; I have heart disease and a couple of blocked arteries.
I spent eight months dealing with doctors, tests and modifications with blood
pressure and cholesterol medication. Though I eat well and exercise, I am a victim of genetics. My diet, exercise, and swimming probably saved my life,
GOING THE DISTANCE: In April, I swam at the YMCA short-course nationals in
Fort Lauderdale. The first day of the event coincided with the date when my life
lasted longer than my father's. I swam in eight events and one relay. Without
question, thanks to swimming, I have beat genetics.
BEST ADVICE: Make fitness a part of your life, as fitness can save your life. Have
a goal with whatever interests you. Professional personal trainers and coaches
are worth their weight in gold.

Dear Southshore Falls Residents:
As many of you know, Craig Ayers, our former maintenance supervisor, has left to pursue a new career
opportunity, and we wish him the best in his new endeavor.
So you will certainly want to join me in extending a warm welcome to John Anzilotti, our new maintenance
supervisor. John is originally from Chicago and came to Florida in 1999. He resides in Ruskin with his
girlfriend of five years. Some of his hobbies include camping, cooking, golfing, and music. Professionally,
he brings to Southshore Falls over ten years of maintenance experience including four years in an active
adult community. John also holds his HVAC certification and his Certified Pool Operator license. If you
have a maintenance concern, please e-mail John at [email protected]. I look forward
to working with John, and I know that he is going to be a valuable asset to our team at Southshore Falls.
That dreaded time of year for us Floridians has come again. Yes, another hurricane season is upon us!
We are still looking for volunteers to call on to help prepare the Wellspring Club in case of a hurricane
threat. Please contact Cathy Sobrito at the office if you are interested in helping out. We will be holding a
Hurricane Volunteer meeting in early July to discuss the game plan to secure the building and pool areas.
And regarding your own safety, please see the article regarding hurricane preparedness elsewhere in this
newsletter.
I am sure many of you have seen the new pool and cabana being constructed in the northwest section of
the community. Construction is moving quickly, and these new amenities should be open in the next few
months for the enjoyment of all.
Cabana at the entrance to the new northwest pool: Work in progress as of June 17, 2011
Please remember to call the guard house at (813) 641-8742 to notify the guard on duty of any guests or
deliveries expected. If you have any questions or concerns about the procedures at the gate house,
please let me know.
One last reminder: To respect the privacy of residents living in lakefront homes, please refrain from walking around the lakes in the easement area, the sloping area between the rear lot line and the water’s
edge.
My team and I appreciate your attention to these matters as we strive to maintain Southshore Falls as the
beautiful community it is today!! We wish you all a safe and happy Fourth of July!
