President’s Thoughts By Dick Rae…..
Letter from President …….1
As the summer draws to a close and we await the arrival of the “snowbirds”,
it is good to reflect back on our summer at Schalamar Creek. We’ve enjoyed
two fun pool parties and a summer dance. The golfers have been enjoying a
Saturday evening function called “Nine & Dine”. We’ve had great attendance
during the weekly volleyball games, bocce ball, and the water exercise classes.
We’ve enjoyed a fun trip to the Victory Casino in August and some people even
came home with winnings. Stan Kubik is thinking about a November trip to
begin the winter season.

Even though we’ve only had 9 holes on the golf course this summer, the golfers have enjoyed some pretty good matches. We have all seen the changes to
the nine holes we’ve been playing as well as all the improvements that are being made all over the course. We are all excited for the opening of the back
nine. Norm and his crew are doing an excellent job.
We have been enjoying our monthly karaoke nights and have seen some new
talent appearing on the stage. We will be continuing these nights on Friday
night, September 30th. We also have our Labor Day Pool Party coming up on
September 5th, which promises to be very entertaining. “Schalamar’s Got Talent!”
The fall season will start off with the HOA member meeting on the 12th of
September. We will also start our membership drive at that time and really
want everyone to join the HOA this year and show your support. It is a small
fee of $22 for the first year and $7 each year thereafter. It only takes one
evening a month and you would be surprised at how much enjoyment you can
get out of talking with your fellow residents and your board.
Your HOA Activities committee will be getting the season going with the annual Fall Dance followed quickly by the Halloween Dance. The committee just

held an “Art & Wine” night which was enjoyed by all. Maybe they’ll do another one later in the year. As
usual, there will be plenty of dances and other entertainment in the coming season. Check your newsletter, E-Blast , and HOA website, as well as the announcement boards for details.
Thank you for the very positive comments and e-mails on our summer newsletter. It made it more fun
and enjoyable doing it knowing that our residents were enjoying the read. I want to thank all the people
that took the time to contribute articles. I especially want to thank Ginny & Ted Reid for pulling it together each month and supplying the different pick up locations with the newsletter. Job well done!
I would like to encourage everyone to be more considerate and safety conscious as we drive through
our park. We need to be alert and watch for walkers, golf carts and bike riders. Paying attention to stop
signs and speed limits is important in making this a safe community. The early morning and around
dusk are very dangerous times as our eyesight and reaction time are not what they used to be.

K = Is it kind?
Schalamar Creek Men’s Golf Association
As of now, the Men’s Association has 137 signed members through October 2016. There haven’t been any holesin-ones for the ‘summer season’ 4/1 to 10/31/16. However, if someone does make a H-I-O between now and 10/31/16,
they stand to receive $200 cash, unless there is a tie in which case the money would be split.
We do hope that the current members will re-sign up November 1st—the dues are currently $35 for the year/
$17.50 for 1/2 half of the year after 4/1/17. We encourage all male golfers to join the SCMGA. They receive the benefit of
‘preferred” T-times on Mondays and the games change from week to week.
If you have any suggestions or other comments you feel we can offer, feel free to contact me.

by Deb Weiderman, President 863-816-4876
I thought this month you would like to know what the stars do in their not-so-spare time. Some of them crochet. Of course, the
crafty celebs like Vanna White and Martha Stewart are well known for their crochet prowess. Vanna even has her own line of yarns
and several crochet books to her credit. The following are just a few famous ladies who crochet. Some will surprise you!
Eva Longoria (“Desperate Housewives”) enjoys crocheting when she is working on a movie set.
Bette Davis made vintage lacey shawls. There are numerous pictures of Bette Davis crocheting and knitting on set.
Madonna is known for her crocheted fishnet gloves. She also has several pattern books available.
Aretha Franklin constructs all sorts of Berets and her favorite stitch is the Pineapple Stitch.
Jane Seymour incorporates hearts into her patterns. She also knits and embroiders.
Meryl Streep crochets and knits and teaches her fellows actors/actresses.
Cher used to crochet the hippy vests that she wore on stage. She still crochets squares for celebrity charity blankets.
Debra Messing (“Will and Grace”) crochets squares for charity blankets.
Carolyn Rhea (“Sabrina, the Teenage Witch) makes her own patterns for books.
Rebecca Romijn (famous model) crocheted a bikini.
Laura Ingalls Wilder (“Little House on the Prairie”): an expert at filet doilies.
Trisha Yearwood: country singer and also a great cook) has been crocheting since age 15 and gives afghans as gifts.
Catherine Zeta-Jones: knits and crochets while working on movies.
Queen Victoria crocheted scarves for her soldiers.
There are also many, many celebrities who knit, including several men. They find it relaxing and helps them learn their lines. Remember, crochet is good for your brain. It is also never too late to learn. Come join us, won’t you?
FROM THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, IT IS HOPE! ….
by Diane Hastings
Recent events, are a stark reminder of the negativity engulfing our planet. “Is our world unraveling?” Only if we allow it. “Why
are we faced with such negativity?” Because we not only allow it, we thrive on it. Society has been beaten into submission, forced
to embrace all things negative. It hasn’t happened swiftly, it has evolved. What has happened swiftly, is the ability to learn of all
things negative around our world almost before it happens. Will society survive all of this? Our planet’s future is unbiased conversation, it is wide-eyed innocence, it’s a belief that anything can be fixed, if we allow it and it is in the hands of our children.
A 3.7 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Florida recently, is a jolting reminder of the devastating 2010 earthquake that destroyed a large part of Haiti. Haiti, one of the poorest countries on earth, it is still recovering. Almost one year later, I met a charming little boy, a charismatic five year old personality, his ability to socialize, his wide-eyed innocence, unwavering, he never questioned why, instead he asked why not.
He knew the story of Haiti, his parents had shared it. He was saddened, people died, they had no homes, no food, no family. Did
he understand, probably not, but his parents role in all of this, he trusted their judgement and he was elated. He had a new sister
he wanted the world to know. His parents’ sadness and concerns for another society’s hardships and struggles were met with a
positive attitude. He accepted their challenge, he embraced it with unwavering love, he would not question why...he had purpose,
he was going to be a big brother.
As the story unfolded, I learned she had come from Haiti. Adopted because her parents died, she was about eight months old.
Her new “Mommy and Daddy” and big brother just arrived back on U. S. soil. As missionaries, they had flown in to assist immediately after the 2010 earthquake, it’s toll had left an indelible mark on their lives. Determined to try and make a better life for the
Haitian people, they continue to help with the rebuilding process in Haiti. The explanation continued, a better life for this child, a
new beginning, just one step at a time. Wanting more children, but understanding the needs of an orphaned child, they accepted
her as their own. For my newfound friend, no jealousy, just a natural sibling love and a new role in his life as big brother. He was
proud, proud of his role, proud of his baby sister…”her name is Hope, a name just as pretty as her,” he beams with pride. “Do you
know why we named her Hope?” His wide eyed age of innocence shining through, I quietly smile and whispered….”yes, yes I do!”

Computers and You!!
What is Cybrecrime? Cybercrime is a larger risk now than it ever has been simply because of the astronomical number of
people and devices connected to the Internet. Reports show that it has now surpassed illegal drug trafficking as a criminal
moneymaker. Another interesting yet, scary fact, is that every three seconds someone’s identity is stolen as a direct result of
cybercrime. Cybercrime, also known as computer crime, is any crime that involves a computer or network. The computer
may have either been involved in the commission of the crime or the target. You might be interested to know that according
to Norton, without a sophisticated Internet security software, within only four minutes of connecting to the Internet, you can
become infected with malicious software. This ultimately, by the way, could lead you to becoming the next victim of identity
theft, one of the fastest growing crimes in the USA and Canada.
Another very prevalent form of cybercrime involves phishing. In a nutshell, phishing is where the victim receives what appears to be a legitimate email, often claiming to be a bank or credit card company. In actuality, the link leads to a phony website run by cybercrooks. This link may directly contain some form of malware, such as a keystroke logger, spyware, computer
virus, etc. It may also masquerade as the page to login to the credit card company or whatever, capturing your personal data,
such as your credit card number and password or banking card number or password. This can lead to becoming a victim of
identity theft.
Wondering what you can do to prevent falling victim to an Internet scam? As the Great Frontier of the Wild West called the
Internet increases, sadly so does the number of victims of Internet scams. Internet scams are an extremely serious problem.
Fortunately, there are some steps that you can take to help prevent you from falling victim to online scams.
Use common sense. If something is too good to be true, it probably is.
When banking online, check the address of any pages that ask for personal account information. Any pages of a legitimate Internet banking website that ask customers to enter their account info or other personal information will have
“https” at the beginning of the website address. This indicates that the page is indeed secure. Sites beginning with
“http”, are not secure.
Never give out your credit card number(s) online unless the website is both reputable and secure.
Remember not to invest anything based solely on appearances. Just because a person or company has a flashy website doesn’t mean it is legitimate.
Be cautious when responding to special investment offers. Be especially wary of responding to such offers through
unsolicited emails.
Avoid purchasing from bulk unsolicited emails, commonly known as spam or junk email. At least 95% of these emails
are online scams.
Use a combination of letters (both lower case and capital) numbers and uppercase symbols when creating passwords.
Don’t use common names or words that can be easily guessed. Never give your password to anyone.
Never believe the promise of large sums of money for your co-operation.
When visiting a banking or other site where you enter any personal information, financial information or passwords
manually type in the website address in the web browser bar. For example, if you are going to do online banking
at CIBS, enter www.cibc.com
Be very careful at online auction sites. If you want to buy something at an online auction, always check the references
of the seller and only buy from sellers that have good references. Almost all good auction sites have a buyer and
selling rating system. If the item is more expensive than an amount you could comfortably lose, you might want to
consider using an online escrow service.
SPECIAL NOTE: Windows XP Support ended as of April 8, 2014. If you are still running a computer with XP, your computer is
no longer receiving updates that help protect your personal information. Even if you have anti-virus software, your computer
may not be fully secure. You should check with your tech support business to see what your options are to keep your data
protected.

SUMMER DOLDRUMS MARRED BY MURDER
“Former Accidental Death takes on New Meaning”
(Or is this just a wee bit of “blarney” to welcome northerners back)..by Ron Heller
What was determined an accidental death in August of 2012 has been reclassified as a probable homicide due to
new developments in August of 2016. Another body was discovered at Schalamar Creek in the exact same location and with the probability that it was the exact same means of death.
The similarity gets stranger. The body was of a young man just like in 2012. He even looked like him; the same
in every respect. How could this be? What were these men doing in Schalamar Creek? They were not residents; nor relatives or friends of residents. Other ironic details defy logic.
As of this date, authorities have not uncovered who the culprit or culprits might be. It is why SC sleuths are being asked to put on their ‘think carp’ to look for clues and determine how this seemingly similar incident could
have happened and who is responsible.
Details will be listed on the bulletin board periodically. Let’s help clean up this mystery by looking for clues
throughout the park. Yes, from the guard house to the hen house; including the library and the pool room,
there are certainly clues that all residents might uncover.
IF YOU UNCOVER A CLUE, KEEP IT UNTIL AN AUTHORITY ASKS FOR IT. DO NOT DISMISS ANYTHING.
KEEP BANANA PEELS, BOTTLE CAPS, PLAYING CARDS AND DEFINITELY ALL GOLF BALLS WITH
STRANGE MARKINGS.

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.

1 PM to 6 PM
The BIG RED BUS will be in the residents’ parking
lot waiting for you to show up. All donors will receive a gift from Oneblood plus a $5 gift certificate
for the Caddy Shack, thanks to Murex.
The last two drives were not too productive, in
May there were only 5 donors and July there were
10. For this upcoming drive, I hope we can do
better. Realizing some of our past donors have
moved, medical reasons or passed away. Here’s
hoping that some of our new residents who are
capable of giving blood will pick up the slack.
A sign up sheet will be posted on the activities bulletin board located in the lower hallway prior to
the drive. Please remember ORLANDO and all the
other places where tragedy has struck in the last
few months and the need for blood.
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 863-816-6348, Gary
Ross at 863-668-8640, Sandy Schultz at 207-653-2695 or Ed Herring at 863-666-1017 for further information.

We’ve enjoyed bringing the news of Schalamar Creek community to
you this past summer. It was a new effort, and we were thankful to have
lots of contributors. Their time and effort was so much appreciated. We
especially want to thank Mark Schneider and corporate Schalamar Creek
for picking up the cost of printing this summer newsletter. We look forward to sharing with you again next summer.
