Valencia Lakes Café
Welcomes Chef Michael
by Joy Rosen
In the immediate Wimauma vicinity, there is not a predominance of good restaurants. Yes, one can go to Brandon
or to Tampa, but why not try our very own café? Michael Priola has been hired as our very own Executive Chef.
Michael was born and raised in southern Germany and moved to Florida in the early 1980’s. After arriving in the
United States, Michael worked as an apprentice in his father’s restaurant in Carrollwood while taking various
courses that qualified him to become certified as an executive chef.
Chef Michael is the owner of a world class catering business in Tampa. This will enable him to cater major
events here at Valencia Lakes. With the addition of the oven to the café, we will not have to utilize outside vendors.
Michael’s work experience includes working in Armani’s, the Hyatt Regency, Brandon Sports and Aquatic Center
and the Apollo Beach Bistro. Very often, he is called upon to judge culinary arts events. In addition to judging,
Chef Michael actively participates in many culinary contests. He competed in Miami at the Fifth Annual Chef for
America’s Cup, an international competition, for which he won the gold medal. His winning dish was an alligator
tail appetizer. Additionally, he won a silver medal at the Super Team Competition in Orlando. His winning entrée
consisted of chorizo rolled roast beef flank and pulled beef with vegetables and a roasted cilantro and garlic demiglaze. Michael is an active member of the American Culinary Foundation and was induced into the American
Academy of Chefs. He was featured in Restaurant Forum’s Top 20 Chefs for the year 2007.
Michael will bring a revamped café to Valencia Lakes. A variety of new items will be added to the menu as well as possibly a salad and
pastry bar. Michael also is anxious to please the Valencia Lakes residents and guests and will try to honor special requests whenever possible.
Satisfying his customers is his top priority. We are in for a treat if we consume any of the meals he prepares and who knows? Maybe someday
soon, Gordon Ramsey will come to Valencia Lakes to commend Chef Michael on a job well done!

Lakes Celebrities
by Joy Rosen
Five of our very own Valencia Lakes residents recently became media celebrities. Marie and Dave
Sigler, as well as Jennie Stevens, were featured in the Home Seeker section of the Tampa Tribune in a
full page article entitled, “Valencia Lakes is Haven for Active Seniors.” The Siglers told of their choosing
GL Homes because of the reputation of the builder. They emphasized their appreciation of the diversity
Marie and Dave Sigler
of the community, the fabulous staff and the broad range of activities. Marie and Dave are active
participants in community life including working out at the gym, attending shows, as well as being members of “Dining In” and the Travel
Club. Marie is also a member of the Women’s Club and is an organizer of the “Toys for Tots” during the holiday season. Dave is a member
of the Fishing Club. Jennie Stevens portrayed the friendliness of all the residents. She, too, is involved in the community as a member of
the Singles’ Group and Travel Club.
Marie Wise was awarded the distinction of gaining Senior Real Estate Specialist designation. In order to receive this designation, she
has shown her commitment and dedication to real estate by taking additional training to better serve the over 55 population.
Michelle Schaefer was featured in The Observer. Michelle has recently retired after an illustrious career in the Army. Starting out as an
Army Nurse, she then went on to Officers Candidate School and became a Lieutenant Colonel. A veteran of the Gulf War, Michelle has
spent a good part of her career working in Afghanistan with the Afghani people to determine their wants and needs as well as to improve
their relationships with Americans. A person who has experienced “real life” in Afghanistan, Michelle can communicate what Afghani
life is like beyond what the media allows us to know. She emphasizes how alike people are all over the world.

SOFTBALL SPOTLIGHT
by Joanne Nelson
Batter up! The Valencia Lakes Villains
were in full swing this summer against
our Sun City rivals. Always up for a
challenge, our hard-working athletes
deserve kudos for putting it all on
the line–the baseline, that is–to win
every game. This column is dedicated
to our guys, and each newsletter will
feature one of our neighbors on the
team. We’ve already met Dan DiGuiseppe and Dennis Pagoaga.
Now at the plate: Bill Barreau.
Bill joined the Villains in November, 2009 just after moving
here. He played softball for many years in Wisconsin and wanted
to join the team because he knew it would be a great way to
meet new friends at Valencia Lakes. An exceptional outfielder,
Bill enjoys playing nearly any position. Growing up on a dairy
farm in Cazenovia, Wisconsin, Bill admired Robin Yount and
his favorite team was the Milwaukee Braves. Today he remains
an avid Milwaukee Brewers fan.
Bill has been married to wife Sue for 31 years and says, “Our
dream has always been to move to Florida to enjoy the sunshine
and the beach.” Together with their dog Snickers, 6½, they are
contented residents of Cobble Mill Drive. Other family members
include daughter Nicole, 27, and son Chris, 24, who both live
and work in Madison, Wisconsin. Bill is responsible for the cash
management of Penda Corporation where he’s been employed for
26 years. Besides softball, Bill loves tennis, pickleball, golf, walking
Snickers, and any other aerobic activity. Thanks for helping us
know you better, Bill!

NEWS FROM THE
PICKLEBALL CLUB
The Photography Club of Valencia Lakes includes members from
beginners to advanced. The club meets the second Thursday of each
month in the Aerobics room. Meeting agendas include sharing our
pictures from our “photo shoots”, discussing various topics related
to photography, having speakers and classes, and taking photo trips.
For more information, contact Gail Riba at [email protected]
By John Doellinger
By Judy Poorman
The number of pickleball players at
Valencia Lakes continues to grow, and at
last count, the membership is sixty-two
members. Serious about learning the rules
of the game, as well as the skills/drills necessary
to improve their game, while maintaining a fun
atmosphere for this fast-growing sport, the Valencia Lakes Pickleball
Club hosted its first USAPA workshop back in April. To continue this
common theme throughout the year, especially with new players, a
series of Mentor/Player Training sessions is being offered to members,
who have paid their club initiation fee. Club members, who have
volunteered to mentor, are: Sue Barreau, Bob Cohen, Leon Hinson,
Doug Kurowski, Ed Markowitz, Judy and Michael Poorman, Dott and
Jim Smith, Ginny Stick, and Mary and George Vanderveer. The first
session was held on May 22nd, with the remaining sessions continuing
every other Saturday morning until December 4th. Details for these
sessions are distributed to all club members via e-mail.
Want to become a member of the pickleball club? Contact Judy Poorman
([email protected]) for information and registration form.
The Bicycle Club accommodates all kinds of
riders. We schedule one ride a week, alternating
between Wednesdays and Saturdays to include
people who are still working and people who
are committed to other social activities on the
weekends. Of course, some of us ride both days.
Most places that we go offer opportunities for
rides of different lengths and at different speeds.
Safety is always a priority, so rides are on paved trails in parks or
on paved streets in quiet neighborhoods. The bike paths we have ridden
on so far are in Flatwoods Park, Fort DeSoto, the Upper Tampa Bay
Trail, the St. Petersburg waterfront, the Pinellas Trail, and the Tampa
Bayfront Path. Local rides have been in Panther Trace in Riverview, in
Ruskin, in Apollo Beach, and even right here on the streets of Valencia
Lakes.
Enough members have bike racks, trucks, or SUV’s available to
transport everyone’s bike to the riding site.
If you are interested in joining some friendly folks for good
exercise and fresh air, bring your bicycle to the clubhouse parking lot at
9:30 am to spend a few hours with us. For more details, contact John
Doellinger at 813.938.1029 or [email protected].

Community Club
By definition, the Community Club has the largest membership of
any club at Valencia Lakes, for all residents are automatically members
of it. The purpose of the club is to facilitate discussions about matters
of interest to our residents. Speakers have come to talk about health
and safety issues, facilities issues, and political issues. In the future,
as we get closer to the time that GL will turn over the HOA to active
resident control, we anticipate that this club will bring in speakers to
tell us how other sub-developments have gone through the transition
process and all the things that we need to be cognizant of during that
period. The club meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00
PM in the social hall. All residents are encouraged to come to our
meetings. For more details, contact Neal Rosen (938-4174).
