Welcome New Owners...10
The Schalamar summer is in full swing with the hot days,
high humidity, and the afternoon showers. One thing for sure,
the weather is consistent. Thank goodness for our pools!
Speaking of pools, by all indications, everyone enjoyed our
first pool party of the season and soon we will be at our next one,
on the 4th of July. We also have a summer dance on the 23rd of
July in the Schalamar ballroom. Our karaoke nights will continue
in the Caddy Shack, on the 30th of July. We’ve had good turn
outs for the ‘meet the manager’ events at the pool. If you haven’t been down on Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday evenings for the
big turnouts for the pool volleyball, you will be amazed.

Getting Your Estate In Order..by Russ (FMO Rep) & Deb Weiderman
We all know there are things that we need to do in order to make it easier on our children to settle our estates after we are gone. Our estate planner gave us a few suggestions so we began collecting the needed documents. We were unable to locate the titles of one of our cars and our manufactured home. What in the world had
we done with them?!
We decided to visit Joe Tedder, Tax Collector and find out. We were there for quite a long time, as you can
well imagine. First we found out that the bank had electronically released one of the 3 titles needed for our home
(we have a triple-wide), a minor electronic slip-up. Their hands were tied and we could not proceed. Next, a trip to
the bank to have them “release” the other two portions of our home was in order. This also took quite a long time
as they tried to sort out what had happened. We think they have it straight so we can make another trip to Joe’s
place tomorrow and find out.
Our car is a different story. When we moved here as full time residents 3 years ago, we went to get our
license plates and had to surrender our Illinois title so a Florida title could be issued. They gave us a receipt and we
paid our money and we waited for them to mail us the title—and we waited and we waited and then we forgot
about it altogether. Apparently our original title never got scanned into the system and there was no record of a
Florida title being issued. It was a good thing we still had the receipt. The receipt contained all the information
they needed to issue us a new title, but they wouldn’t do it until they verified the VIN on the actual vehicle (can you
sense my frustration?) Of course we drove our OTHER car there, so now we have to go back again tomorrow with
the correct vehicle, stand in line, wait to be called and then try to explain the circumstances to a new Joe Tedder
employee. Do you see why it is important to start looking for this stuff now?
My point in sharing all of this is that we all need to do due diligence and get our documents in order. My
poor family would have had a horrible time trying to sort out all of the above. We have a safety box at the bank
where all our important documents are kept until such time that they are needed. I have copies of them on hand in
case we need to refer to them.
The following is a suggested list of some of the things Russ & I decided to include and may not be complete.
It is a work in progress. Your list may look different depending on your circumstances. Please consult your personal
professionals to see if there is anything else you need to add, which is what got us thinking about this in the first
place. We just wanted to get everyone thinking about this so don’t put it off, start your list today!
1. Copies of current versions of your Wills and Trust Agreements and bank accounts associated with them.
2. Information for attorneys or law firms, accountants, insurance agents, etc., as applicable.
3. “Power of Attorney” (POA) documents (We have one for finances and one for healthcare).
4. Life Insurance policies as well as home owners and vehicle policies.
5. Copies of any funeral arrangements you have made.
6. Title to everything you own that requires one, any lease agreements (i.e. cars), property deeds, loan agreements.

Social Security, You & Identity Theft—We must be our own advocate
A recent experience that we had with Social Security has taught us to always be aware of what is happening to our
account. About two months ago, we got a phone call from our medical insurance company telling us we had moved out of
state and we would need to get another insurance provider. In fact, we had not moved, but someone had gotten into our
social security account and was able to change our address. We talked with a social security representative for over an hour
and were assured that our account was set up with a block, secure and that no one but us could get into the account. Four
weeks later, we got a letter from Social Security thanking us for updating our direct deposit to a new account. Again, we
had not done this, so we made a trip to the local Social Security office and spent over two hours correcting this problem.
We have again been assured that this matter is now straightened out and that no one can get into our account to make any
more changes.
Thus the reason for this short piece on keeping vigilant about your social security account!
First of all, don’t assume all is good and nothing is happening to your account. Always check your deposit account
on the day of your scheduled deposit.
Next, if you get a letter from the Social Security Administration, always open it immediately! If something is wrong
or has changed without your permission, you need to talk with the Social Security Administration and get it fixed as soon as
possible. If you wait, it could take several months to get it corrected.
Identity theft is a significant threat to all consumers. Last year, the Federal Trade Commission received more than
330,000 complaints from consumers who were victims of identity theft.
Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information and uses it with the intention of committing
fraud. Personal information could be your name, date of birth, Social Security number, or your driver’s license and credit
cards.
To a thief, your SSN is usually the key to unlocking your identity. Identity thieves can use your number and your
good credit to apply for loans, credit cards, and other benefits in your name. Identity thieves then use the credit cards without paying bills, thereby damaging your finances, credit history and reputation.
To protect against identity theft:

Avoid carrying your Social Security card or other documents that display your SSN. Leave them in a secure place.

If someone requests your SSN, ask questions. You have a right to know why your number is needed, how it will be
used, and what law requires you to share your number.

Keep your information secure by shredding documents that include personal information, storing financial documents
and records in a safe place, and installing anti-virus protection on personal computers.
Protect your investment in Social Security. Social Security
aggressively investigates allegations of fraud and prosecutes people
who commit it. Their message to those who attempt to defraud Social Security is clear: we will find you; we will prosecute you; we will
seek the maximum punishment under the law; and we will fight to
restore the money you’ve stolen from the American people. Visit
www.socialsecurity.gov/antifraudfacts for more information.
Identity theft is serious! Don’t be a victim—take steps today to protect yourself!!

A SUMMER PLEASURE….Diane Hastings
Life seems to have slowed a bit in our tropical paradise. Homes are now tightly closed for
the season, a relentless summer sun brings afternoon showers that cool our world just enough, allowing
the waning daylight to produce some of the most beautiful sunsets on earth. We’ve watched in awe as
that fiery ball quickly slips below the horizon, it’s glow producing a steamy and colorful shimmering reminder, there is always tomorrow! Yet, once the evening air is filled with the soft sea breezes, the sun
parched leaves of the live oak and stately magnolias seem to come alive, their rustling sounds seem to call
upon all creatures; Osprey begin feeding their young, Swallow-Tailed Kites gliding through the air have
returned and in the distance, the restless grunting of the alligators in the preserve, in search of a mate, all
a reminder the summer season has returned to this southern peninsula. Recent tropical rains have given
the earth and its inhabitants a welcomed break from the day’s heat, but have also given new meaning to
the word “steamy”, we hope it’s not Mother’s Nature’s way of telling us something.
A recent discussion concerning climate, world population and many different demographics, revealed Florida is in the top five US states with the largest populations, yet nestled here in Polk County,
one might believe otherwise. Strategically centered in the middle of the state, we have the best of all
worlds. Surrounded by lush lands, preserves with wildlife as diverse as it’s population, Polk offers a variety of lifestyles for those that brave life on this peninsula, year round. Beaches, theme parks, historic trails,
museums, art galleries and casino life just a short distance away.
We may grumble about too much traffic, yet when the summer migration northward begins, we miss treasured friends and anxiously await their return. We moan, we groan, we find fault, because we can, yet it’s these simple ordinary pleasures we so cherish. Traveling daily along the congested
I-4 corridor, I thoroughly enjoy the night ride home, the expanse of our Florida sky filled with an amazing
array of stars and once a month a tropical moon so brilliant, it lights the way back to this hidden gem
called Schalamar. Turning into the community, wildlife friends enjoying the cool night air seem to be
everywhere, they too, enjoying this tropical land called home.

Crochet Guild
Deb Weiderman, President 863-816-4876
Since my last article, I have the sad news to report that Jerry Miltner, our past
president, has passed away. We will miss him dearly. He served as President for around 8 years and did so
much to promote the craft of crochet. During his years in the Air Force, he learned to crochet and made
some beautiful items. Here in Florida he served as a State Fair Judge and a Strawberry Festival Judge for
many years. As his legacy, he named the Crochet Guild as his charity of choice for people to donate money
in his name. Of course, we will buy yarn with that money and make items to be donated to our designated
charities. We will also ask that the afghans that we are making for the Veteran’s Dance be dedicated to
him. A mass will be said in his honor on July 3, 2016 at St. Joseph Church in Winter Haven. He was a humble man and would not want a lot of fuss to be made, so we will have to cherish his memory in our hearts
and know that he has started a new Crochet Guild in Heaven with those who have gone on before him.
History of Crochet
Other forms of handwork (knitting, embroidery and weaving) can be dated far back in time. Proof
can be found in archeological finds, written sources and pictorial representations of various kinds. But no
one is quite sure when and where crochet got it’s start. According to American crochet expert Annie Potter,
“The modern art of true crochet was we know It today was developed during the 16th century and became
known as ‘crochet lace’ in France and ‘chain lace in England.”
Research suggests that crochet probably developed most directly from Chinese needlework, a very
ancient form of embroidery known in Turkey, India, Persia and North Africa. It began turning up in Europe
in the early 1800’s and was given a tremendous boost by Mlle. Riego de la Branchardiere, who was best
known for her ability to take old-style needle and bobbin lace designs and turn them into crochet patterns
that could easily be duplicated. She published many pattern books so that millions of women could begin to
copy her designs.
Irish crochet was a virtual lifesaver for the people of Ireland during the potato famine. Irish workers
(men as well as women and children) were organized into crochet cooperatives. Schools were formed to
teach the skill and teachers were trained and sent all over Ireland, where the workers were soon creating
new patterns of their own. Four million Irish immigrants came to American between 1845-1900 and
brought their craft with them. Soon American women were becoming skilled in the art.
In 16th century Europe as royalty and the wealthy lavished their clothing and headpieces with lace,
the poor folk imitated them with crocheted items. By the 19th century, Victorian women were making intricate flower pot holders, bird cage covers, baskets, lamp mats and shades, wastepaper baskets, tablecloths,
chair back covers, purses and pretty much anything else they could think of! The early 1900’s added all
forms of afghans. Now pretty much anything can be imitated with crochet including 3-dimensional art,
clothing and abstract tapestries. Methods, patterns and techniques have eveolved over the centuries, but
the art of crochet lives on in all corners of the world.

A Special Thank You to Dick Rae, President of the SCHOA and Mark Schneider, G M of Schalamar Creek for collaborating on an idea to bring a summer community newsletter to life. That was the easy part. The important player in
this process is Ginny Reid, volunteering to bring the product to fruition. In order to bring the residents a year-round
newsletter, the Schalamar Creek Community is supporting the printing of the Summer newsletter. If you would like
to submit an article for the newsletter, please submit it to Ginny ([email protected]) by the 15th of the month
to have it appear in the newsletter. Also, feel free to submit questions that pertain to the community. We will introduce a Q & A section in the next summer newsletter. Questions will be reviewed by the HOA and SC Management and a collaborative response will be given.
Paper Recycling
We really appreciate your help in keeping the
planet green, but we need to follow the rules
for the recycling bin by the clubhouse!!!
CAP Volunteers Needed
The CAP (Citizen Assisted Patrol) is a volunteer group under the
direction of the Polk County Sheriff’s Department. The volunteers perform a 2 hour shift weekly around the streets of Schalamar Creek. Their mission is to OBSERVE and REPORT possible
problems to the Sheriff’s Department. The patrols start at 8 AM
and end at 4 PM daily. The summer is the hardest shifts to fill as
many of our riders have returned back north. The patrol is a nice
way to see all of Schalamar and the many things going on and
meet many residents and their dogs. The cart is well known for
carrying doggie treats and our 4-footed friends know many of us
well. If you think you would enjoy the ride and are of the volunteering nature, we would love to talk with you and show you
what we have to offer. You can contact Ray Mitchell at 863-8166348, Gary Ross at 863-668-8640, Sandy Schultz at 207-653-2695

SCHALAMAR CREEK PHONE BOOK
The Schalamar Creek Phone Book is an continuing project all year long. We try to
stay current on the information that is published, but we do need your help and
input. Our records are only as good as the information that is passed on to the
HOA. Please let us know if there are any changes to your listing. If you are new to
Schalamar Creek, or know someone who is new, please let us know so that they will
be recognized in our next directory. We also publish a monthly listing of birthdays
and anniversaries, so if you would like yours listed, please tell us. There is also a
listing in the back of the phone book for e-mails. If you need to make changes,
please e-mail me at [email protected] , call me at 863-669-1963 or by mail at
1148 Ashboro Court.
Thank you for your help in keeping our phone book up to date.
