I cannot express

enough, how grateful I am

for every drop that hits

the ground at VillageWalk.

Prior to this long stretch of

drought, we received a real

good rainy period which filled

up our lakes nice and high.

Unfortunately, without timely

rain it puts a great deal of

stress on the turf and plant

material. Irrigation systems

are an amazing asset designed

to supplement water when we

don't get quite enough to keep

everything lush and healthy

from Mother Nature. In that

regard, when dry conditions

approach it will expose issues

that need to be corrected.

This can stress the entire

community. The Residents,

Management and of course,

our Landscaping Team, the

first responders putting out

the fires. During this recent

time of struggle with the

irrigation system and the

dry areas in the community,

we were able to sit down

at our weekly operational

meetings and all come to

an agreement we needed to

stretch a little further with a

more aggressive and proactive

plan of attack outside of our

normal irrigation wet checks

and inspections. We have

implemented a preventative

maintenance program for

our Pumping Stations by the

company that manufactured

As a sit down to write this article today, it is the first day in almost three weeks that it has actually rained.

and installed them. This will

also include software that will

alert us by email notification

of any issues with pressure,

power outages which happens

often from lightning and

remote access to the systems.

This will of course not replace

our normal inspections, but

be an added bonus to help us

stay proactive vs. reactive. We

are getting closer to making

it through the busy and

demanding summer months

in the world of Landscape

Maintenance, where things

grow slower in the cooler

months and we will return

to bi-weekly mowing, giving

Down to Earth more hours

to spend on pruning and

detailing. I greatly appreciate

everyone hanging in there with

us while we work through the

challenges.

At your service,

National Night Out 2014Thank to all who participated!

La Dolce Vita with Valerie

I, personally, cannot believe it is September already! Time flies when you're having fun.

August was a very busy month for us here

in VillageWalk. Our Adult Pool Party at

the beginning of the month was a success,

such in fact that we're bringing it back once

again this month! Check for emails in the

coming days for more details. As with each

year, National Night Out was an enjoyable

(and delicious) event. A big thank you to

the Lake Nona Deli & Market for providing

the catering once more this year.

Later this month, don't forget to join us

for a community Drum Circle on Thursday,

September 18th.

Halloween is fast approaching and it's time

to start the planning process for the Adult

Halloween Spooktacular and Halloween

Night's Trunk or Treat. If you are interested

in helping out this year, please join us on

Monday, September 22nd at 6:30pm in the

Town Center for a meeting to discuss.

I hope everyone has had a fine summer

thus far, here's to a cooler fall!

Maintenance Report with Joe

As the community continues to grow, it also increases the usage of

the community amenities. As a reminder, all persons using equipment in

the Fitness Center should wipe down the machines after each use. Upon

completion of using the tennis courts, please also remember to use the

court sweeper after each use in order to help maintain proper usage and

keep them lasting longer.

I would also like to take this time to remind everyone to please not

feed the wildlife and to take care when driving.

We are now going into the peak of hurricane season. Please be

prepared with fresh batteries, flash lights and lanterns, candles and

matches, bottled water, first aid kit and at least 3 days worth of food. For

more information on hurricane preparedness please visit FloridaDisaster.

off in your back yard. Even in a familiar, normally safe environment, in their panic, they may injure themselves or run for the hills in fear. Make sure your pets are wearing ID tags on collars, a safety practice to always follow. Micro-chipped pups have a much better chance of being returned if they run away. If you are leaving town for the holiday or have guests, review all the above with them. Did you know diffusing and using topically some calming essential oils can help calm and ground your animals during fireworks or severe weather? Studies have shown some dogs

who normally agitate from the sound, sleep right through them. Lavender and a grounding blend will work miracles during stressful times. For you too! But only use Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils as most all other oils can be harmful to your pet. You can also try calming treats to de-stress nerves? Contact me if you want more to learn more about calming your pets naturally. Safe holidays to you and your pets! If you love them, be responsible and cautious.

So many pets flee from the frightening, disorienting effects of fireworks and get lost or hurt. The day after is typically one of the busiest days at the shelter. Be smart! Keep your dog or cat safe,secure and protected in a comfortable locked room with windows and doors closed, some ‘white noise’ such as music or TV playing, a comfy bed and some of their favorite toys and treats. Never bring your pets to any firework displays. Some get so scared, they will snap the leash and flee. And the sounds are deafening to their sensitive ears. Never shoot them

End of summer is here! Beach, fun, parties and fireworks or as your pet's view it a warzone. Petrified by the noise, their fight or flight instinct kicks in. Before you know it they disappeared.

Last month we started the conversation about reducing your toxic load by using natural solutions instead of chemicals. There are all kinds of toxic products that we encounter each day. From our items we clean our homes, to what we cook in and lather on our bodies in the forms of soaps and cosmetics. These chemicals get into our bodies by the way of our lungs, skin and mouth. !This month we will feature a few ways to clean your home using natural solutions. Some of the cleaning

products in the market require you to wear gloves, be in a well vented area and sometimes a mask when using them. !Here are a few of my favorite cleaning products. !All Purpose Cleaner • 16 oz. glass spray bottle • 1 ½ cups water • ½ cup vinegar (or more water) • 1 Tablespoon liquid castile soap • 20 drops dōTERRA essential oil (see suggestions below) !Some recommended combinations include: Lavender and Lemon; Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Wild Orange; On Guard blend; Grapefruit and On Guard. !Add all ingredients to spray bottle. Shake each time before using. !Soft Scrub All Purpose Cleaning Paste • ¾ rounded cup baking soda • ¼ cup liquid castile soap (or 2 Tbsp On Guard concentrate) • 1 tablespoon water • 1 tablespoon vinegar • 15 drops dōTERRA essential oil 10 drops Purify + 5 drops lemon) !In a bowl, combine the baking soda and castile soap. Add the water and stir. Add the vinegar and essential oil. The consistency should be a soft paste. Store in an airtight container. !Alternate uses: Laundry Stain Pre-treat, scrub for pots and pans, stove top cleaner, 1-2 Tbsp in dishwasher, oven cleaner. !For more DIY recipes, log on to BeWellEssentialOils.com and select the DIY tab. !Remember, all essential oils are NOT created equally and can be toxic. At dōTERRA we pride ourselves in offering only Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils that are free from fillers, synthetics, herbicides, pesticides and other harmful ingredients. They are pure, chemical-free and toxin-free. !Join me next month, as we focus on more essential oils and their therapeutic effects. Contact me for your free consultation for natural solutions to your health. !

Be well, balanced and happy, de ☺ Deanna Snyder, RN

We are blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers to construct our dresses and dolls, that we have now depleted most of our fabric inventory. Please help if you or anyone you know has remnants of fabric that can be donated to our cause. We can use remnants as small as 1 yard. We do ask though, that the fabric be of dress weight—not see-through nor too heavy such as upholstery fabric as that would not be suitable for warm-climate clothing. You may drop donations off at the TownCenter front desk with a note that it’s for DIH.

If you’re not familiar with Dressed in Hope, we are an organization that meets every Thursday from 10 to 12 in the TownCenter. We construct dresses and dolls to be delivered to girls in countries when or where they are most needed.

However, our volunteers are never required to meet that often. Betty Hicks, shown below, is one of our dedicated members who prefers to sew at home. Betty comes weekly to deliver her completed dresses and dolls and to pick up work to sew at home.

Thank you,Betty

Landscaping Update

As we approach the end of summer we will be working on specific tasks

for September. The Fert and Pest team will be applying a turf fertilization

application which includes insect control. This application will improve the

turf's color and overall health as we enter the Fall season. The irrigation

team will be continuing their irrigation maintenance inspections, along with

supplemental watering for the drought-stressed turf and shrub areas we have

recently identified. The maintenance team will continue to improve on the

3-week detail and weekly mowing rotations. Structural pruning of the flowering

plants will be starting this fall for the Roses and Thryallis to lower their

heights to a manageable 2-3' range as per specifications. We will also continue

to trim all Queen and Sabal Palms as we move throughout the community.

We would like to continue to encourage residents to please contact us at the

website, email and phone below to

address any of your concerns.

Adult Worthy for Entertaining, but Kid FriendlyFamily rooms can become overwhelmed with kid stuff, so how do you keep the hub of the home kid friendly, yet capable of being a place where you are proud to entertain adults?

The first step is to declutter. As children accumulate more toys, it is important to remove some of the older ones that are less often used or that they have outgrown. Next choose furniture pieces that can perform double duty. Functional pieces like a storage bench or storage ottoman can keep toys and games easily accessible, but out of sight when not in use. Custom built-ins along a wall can be not only beautiful, but extremely functional, holding entertainment equipment and lots of storage space for more toys, books and games. If custom built-ins are not in the budget, no problem; there are plenty of readymade pieces that look great and function just like custom built-ins. Choose pieces that have sections incorporating doors or drawers to keep things out of sight.

Slipcovers can be extremely helpful when you have small children or pets. They can be easily removed for adult entertaining and will extend the lifetime of your upholstered furniture. They are available in many colors and sizes. Choose a fabric that is easily laundered.

Baskets are one of the most economical ways to add storage. They not only add texture and interest, but will also function to corral more kid stuff. Vary the shapes and heights for visual impact. Consider a cube type shelf instead of a table behind a floating sofa where you can stow more baskets for toys, books etc.

The ABC's of MedicareWhen can I enroll in Medicare? What is Original Medicare? What is the annual open enrollment period? What is a Medicare Advantage plan? What is a Part D prescription Plan? What is a Medicare Supplement?Medicare can be confusing, it’s like alphabet soup, especially when you are enrolling for the very first time. Here are some basics to Medicare.

First-Time EnrolleesFirst-time enrollees are eligible for Medicare when they turn 65. You have a total of 7 months to sign up for coverage. You can sign up 3 months prior to your birthday, during your birth month, and three months following your birth month. If you sign up prior to your birthday month, your coverage will go into effect the 1st day of your birth month. Disabled adults may be eligible prior to age 65.

Open EnrollmentIf you are already in the Medicare system and are happy with what you have, you don’t need to do anything further. On the other hand, if you are unhappy and would like to change either Part C (Medicare Advantage Plan) or Part D (Prescription Drug Plan), you need to do this during the open enrollment period. Open Enrollment comes once a year from October 15th to December 7th. The changes you make will become effective on January 1.

Part A & B: Original MedicarePart A and Part B are called Original Medicare. Part A covers inpatient hospital, hospice, skilled nursing facility, home healthcare. This part is free if you have worked 40 quarters (or the equivalent of 10 years) during your lifetime. Part B covers outpatient care, doctor visits, emergency care, etc. The Part B premium is income-based. For 2014 the base monthly premium is $104.90. If you do not sign up for Part B when you become eligible there is a 10% penalty for each 12 months you could have signed up for this coverage – and the penalty last a lifetime.

Part D: Medicare Prescription Drug BenefitIf you decide on Original Medicare Parts A & B, you will need to purchase part D. Part D is the Medicare prescription drug benefit plan designed to help with prescription drug expenses. Part D is offered through private insurance companies. Many companies offer several plans at different monthly premiums. If you do not enroll in Part D when you are eligible and do not have prior credible coverage through an employer, there is a 1% penalty for each month you go without this coverage and this penalty last for life. Each company has what is called a formulary of drugs they cover. So, make sure your prescriptions are covered before enrolling in a specific plan. You can go to www.Medicare.gov to see what plans are offered in your service area.

Part C: Medicare AdvantageThere is another option to having Original Medicare – it's called Part C (Medicare Advantage). Part C is administered and purchased through insurance companies approved by Medicare. Part C bundles Part A & B of Medicare (and most plans also include Part D prescription drugs) as one single plan. There are copays and out-of-pocket expense limits in these types of plans. Some plans charge a premium while some do not. In addition, you still need to pay the cost for Medicare part B. The Medicare Advantage plans are popular because in most cases they can be the least expensive way of providing for your healthcare needs. Medicare Advantage Plans come in several different forms such as PPO plans as well as HMOs. HMO plans require you to choose from a specific network of physician and hospitals within your service area.

Medigap InsuranceIf you choose Original Medicare, you can opt to purchase a Medigap policy designed to fill some of the gaps that Parts A & B do not cover, like copays or coinsurance. The Medigap plans have names after the alphabet (not to be confused with Parts A & B of original Medicare and Part C Medicare Advantage or Part D Prescription Coverage). The plans range from A to N. The plans are the same from every company; the only difference is the premium. The advantage of having original Medicare plus a Medigap policy is that you can go to any doctor that accepts Medicare. I hope this article was helpful it was written to give you the basics of how Medicare works.
