Message from the President......
Dear Friends and Neighbors, Summer 2016 is all but behind us and we are beginning to enter into our Winter season and all of our Northern friends will soon be returning home to Florida. For us at Lake Hammock Village, we are entering into the busiest time of the year for us. Although October is relatively quite, November and December, in conjunction with the holiday season, will be extremely busy. And then, January holds in store our Annual Meeting in which a new set of directors will be voted on and elected to the Board of Directors. If you would like to see a change in the way the Lake Hammock Village HOA is being run, now is your time to jump on board and let your voice be heard. November 1 is the deadline to submit your name for candidacy. This year, we will be seeing a new event taking place in our community: the 1st Annual Golf Cart Poker Run. This looks like a fun event that will offer cash prizes, food, and other prizes. If you have never participated in a poker run, you are in for a great time. Remember, golf carts and passengers, bicycles, tricycles, scooters, and walkers only can be used. No motorized vehicles can participate. Finally, it's time to consider your nomination for your choice for Lake Hammock Village Volunteer of the Year. A box for your selection(s), nomination slips and writing implements can be found on the counter as you enter the clubhouse. This is a great honor for the winning resident as it recognizes their contribution to making our community such a great place to live. Clark Smith

BY: WALTER J. PAULOVSKY Dear Worker; Remember me? I am Your Job and I am your friend. I pay your rent or mortgage note. I also pay your phone, water, gas and electric bills. I buy the clothing for you and your family and pay for your movies and other entertainment, travel and recreation. I pay for your food at home and in restaurants. I pay your doctor’s and dentist’s bills. I pay your car notes, your gasoline, tires and repairs; and I pay your taxes and insurance bills. I pay for your children’s education. In fact, I pay not only for these necessities but also all of your luxuries. No other friend will do all of this for you and never make a complaint. I am still your job. If you respect me, I will respect you, and we can have a long friendship together; but if you disrespect me I will disrespect you. If you mistreat me, I will mistreat you. Then our friendship will begin to come to an end. If you take advantage of me in the wrong way I can always quit doing all of the things that I do for you. I can forget I ever knew you. So… since we both depend on each other, let us look forward to a long good friendship together, for I am Your Job. Come to see me each day and I will be waiting for you. Serve me well each day. I like to see you arrive on time, I hate a late friend. There is not reason for you ever to lay out from me. I am your friend and I want to keep our friendship for a long time.
Yours very truly, Your Job
TALK TO THE PAW
”
New Column By: Birgit Bartoschek In my world I love to be surrounded by dogs and people, even better Dog people. So this is for you. Tips and Tricks about Grooming, Training, Health and Fun. Enjoy! Under our rubric DID YOU KNOW I like to start to give you some information about Paw Care. It fits so good since this new column is called Talk to the Paw. Did you know: The hair under the paws can protect your dog from the elements? Yes, trimming the feet can reduce the amount of dirt that dogs bring into the house but, on the flip side you dog might be better off with the hair intact. Paws can puncture, scrape, burn and freeze. Walking on asphalt can give your dogs cracked paws as well and might lead to secondary infections. What can you do: If the paws are already cracked let the Vet check for any medical issues. None found? Great. You can cover up the paws while walking, and treat your dog’s paw pads with organic breathable and water resistant paw balm. Since dogs like to lick their paws make sure the products are from Organic sources like Shea Butter, Beeswax or Lanolin. In any way, check the paw pads regularly and make sure the surface you walk your dog on is not too hot. It’s Florida!!!
Art and Wanda Stanley Art and Wanda were both born and raised in Maryland. In September of 1979 they were introduced to one another through a mutual friend. In 1981 Art was working as a hairdresser and Wanda was a stay at home mom. One of Art’s co-workers invited Art and Wanda’s family to a weekend of camping at a Jesus Saves Rally. Art said “We are not interested in religion but I love camping and take advantage of any opportunity to do so”, so we went. That’s when they both received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. A week later they got married. “We’d like to say everything was perfect but truth be told things got worse for us. In 1989 after 17 years as a hairdresser, the last 4 of those as salon owners, we lost our business. “Our weekends of drugs and my drinking turned into a daily habit when we hired our drug dealer to work in the salon. It took 6 months to wipe out a 10 year dream of owning my own salon” says Art. We went on to lose not only our business but our car and in April 1990 we had a house fire which destroyed everything we owned. A family took us and 5 of our children in for a month. The community gave donations of money, furniture, clothes and a car. Meanwhile we had to decide our next move. They chose Kissimmee, Fl. because Art’s mom lived there and it was 950 miles away from their drug connection. So in June 1990 we moved to Florida. We believe that God gave us the opportunity to start over and get clean.
Wanda got a job working at Disney in December of 1991. Art tried to find a new career unsuccessfully, so for 2 years Art was “Mr. Mom”. Art says “ it was one of the best experiences I’ve had.” He believes that time was instrumental in developing the relationship he has with his kids. After that Art went through jobs until he decided to work for himself doing handyman work until 2001 when he got an opportunity to manage a 340,000 square foot warehouse and the surrounding grounds. His son Josh has been with him from the beginning and has taken over the business since Art’s retirement at the end of 2015. Wanda retired from Disney after 24 years. (She has been on several Disney teams for opening different new merchandise locations.) They have been active members in 3 churches in Florida, the last being Cornerstone Church in St. Cloud, where they became members in 1989. Serving in various ministries. Leading Bible studies, teaching, working with couples learning how to have relationships that honor our Lord. In 2005 they were part of a team of folks looking into including a program called “Celebrate Recovery” in their church. It is a Christ centered recovery program designed to help people with hurts, habits and hang ups of any kind to overcome them and then help others as they begin their road to recovery. We got involved to help “those folks” with their issues, because we buried ours deep.” After a year of research, discovery and training we both realized we were there for more than serving others. God wanted to heal their hurts, hang ups and habits. For 6 years we led a team of folks in feeding home cooked meals every Friday night. We occasionally led teams in feeding 250-300 people during church wide events. God’s grace has given us a passion for helping others and sharing our story of hope, healing, health and happiness. We live our recovery daily. We believe that all have a story to tell and we are willing to help others tell their own story. After looking at many retirement communities we chose LHV and moved to 140 Glen Este the middle of February this year. Our first goal was to update the outside of the house and yard. We chose the color of teal because Art’s favorite color is blue and
Wanda’s is green. So teal not green was chosen and we love it. We enjoy the pool time with the regulars. Wanda plays bingo and Art has volunteered to learn how to help run the show. The have started playing CLR on Fridays and love it along with the fellowship. Wanda is a dedicated (scrapper) scrap booker and has enjoyed teaching others about scrap booking. She enjoys crocheting, counted cross stitch as well as any creative activity. She has taught a scrapbooking Bible study and is willing to do so again. She also enjoys spending time with the grandkids, sometimes babysitting. Art says “And I help”. Art enjoys fishing and boating. He says “I don’t know much about fishing but I love it.” He likes working with his hands, collecting old bottles and displaying his flag collection proudly. He has 3 fish tanks, 20 gal., 75 gal. and a 90 gal. All the fish are Cichlids. “I love my fish” we have 2 cats, Sassy and Trouble. They both live up to their names. Art and Wanda are eager to answer any questions and hear any comments anyone might have concerning anything written here. (407) 600-2806 We love living here and look forward to meeting more LHV people and growing old together. Arthur Stanley: imawstanley@gmail.com Article by: Art and Wanda Stanley
TOAD IN THE HOLE SUBMITTED BY: JUDY PAGE In my garden I frequently see little toads. Well, the English have a popular dish called Toad in the Hole. You will be relieved that no toad loses its life for this tasty treat. The dish began as a way to use left-overs in the 1700s, but over time has come to incorporate 'bangers'. That is sausages to you and me. This is often served with Heinz baked beans as an accompaniment, at least in the area of England where I lived. Toad in the Hole 1 1/2cups flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 egg 1 1/4 cups milk 1 1/4 cups cold water 2 Tbsp. oil 1 1/4 pounds meaty butcher's sausages, about six of them Preheat the oven to 425 F. For the batter, sift the flour and salt into a bowl and make a well in the center. Break the eggs into the well. Combine the milk and water, and then, using a whisk, incorporate the liquid into the flour, salt and eggs, beating well to make a smooth batter. It then needs to rest a little while. When it is ready, it will be about the consistency of pouring cream. Pour the oil into a smallish roasting tin. Place the sausages in the tin. Put the tin in the really hot oven; cook it for 10 minutes until the oil is piping hot and the sausages have started to brown. Stir the batter. Remove the tin from the oven and quickly pour on the batter. You want to hear a sizzle as the batter hits the hot oil. Return the tin to the oven and bake for 45 minutes. The batter will puff up around the sausages and brown when it is cooked. Serve it immediately.

Exploring Florida Wildlife..... The common bobcat, or Lynx Rufus, are elusive, nocturnal and seldom seen by humans. They are the most common of all wildcats and have the longest range of any North American cat. Bobcats are common throughout the United States and are abundant in Florida. They adapt well to urban, forest, swamps, and dense woodland habitats. They use hollow logs, dense underbrush and heavy wooded undergrowth for shelter. Bobcats are approximately twice as big as an ordinary housecat, with large paws, long legs, and tufted ears. They can weigh 11-30 lbs and have a life span of 10-12 years. They are generally brown or brownish-red with a white underbelly and a short “bobbed� tail. Bobcats generally feed at night on rabbits, squirrels, mice and other small game. Bobcats, however, will attack prey much larger than themselves such as deer. Though not seen in our community too often, they have been seen and mistaken as feral or wild cats. In fact, during the most recent feral cat roundup, one was caught and turned over to animal control.

REMEMBERING GEORGE ELBERT PALMER JANUARY 21ST, 1931 – SEPTEMBER 4TH, 2016 For the past 15 years’ people of the United States and many from a crossed the planet have gathered on 11 September to remember the horrible events that forever changed our world. This year, about 85 family and friends gathered at the clubhouse to remember and give thanks for a man who was a great friend to all here at Lake Hammock Village, who unexpectedly died 4 September, 2016. Family and friends shared memories that told of George's kindnesses, his love for family and friends, his willingness to chauffeur the 'harem' of ladies who depended on him, and his enjoyment of golf and good food. George long will be remembered here at LHV, not only for the contributions he made here, but also for the gentleman he was. Heartfelt thanks go to George's family, for allowing us to meet to remember George with them. They also were responsible for the lovely program and photos posted of George. The memorial was their success. Many people helped organize the memorial. I could not have managed this memorial without the help of Marian Spiegel. Marian and husband Richard, along with Bob McDonald set up all the chairs and tables. Florence Browning contacted all the people to start the phone tree to make everyone aware of the date
and time of the memorial. Betty Rhoades oversaw the memorial book. Joyce and Hace Wright took care of preparing and serving all the drinks. The ladies who furnished the cookies we enjoyed are Marian Spiegel, Sharon Bowden, Marileigh Osborn, Mary Ann Donovan, Sally Phillips, Mary Schnopp, Eileen Lemay, and Judy Page. There were many people, whose names I did not know, who helped with clean up and reorganizing the room. Many thanks to each and every one who helped make this a very special, positive event to honor the memory of George Palmer and also to those who attended and shared their stories.
George was a very active man in our community, in the following pages you will see how he loved life and enjoyed his neighbors

Brain Power: Why Proteins Are Smart The brain's protein connection: How proteins keep the mind working smoothly, and properly. Next to water, protein makes up most of the weight of our bodies. Muscles, organs, hair, nails and ligaments are all composed of protein, so it's obvious why protein is an important part of the diet.
Eating protein raises the levels of another amino acid called tyrosine, which prompts the brain to manufacture norepinephrine and dopamine, other kinds of chemical messengers in the brain. Not as well known as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine can keep you energized because they promote alertness and activity. This isn't to say that to stay alert, you ought to eat mostly protein. A healthy brain produces hundreds of neurotransmitters needed for regular maintenance of the brain and needs proteins to do so. But the brain also needs carbohydrates for fuel and other nutrients for repair and maintenance of brain cells.
But it gets more complex with the brain. The brain and its long spidery neurons are essentially made of fat, but they communicate with each other via proteins that we eat. The hormones and enzymes that cause chemical changes and control all body processes are made of proteins.
You don't need to load up on protein. Most Americans eat far more protein than they need and as a consequence end up consuming too much fat and cholesterol as well. The USDA recommends only two to three small servings of protein a day, or about 12 percent of total calories—and that's more than what most of the world consumes. Poultry, seafood and lean meat are the richest sources, as are dairy products, legumes, nuts and seeds. Grains and vegetables have protein too, albeit in lesser amounts but without the fat.
Have you ever noticed that a high carbohydrate lunch can make you feel sluggish? Or that eating protein in the middle of the day keeps you more alert through the afternoon? Brain cells communicate with one another via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which are usually made of amino acids, the building blocks of protein.
However, watching your diet isn't always enough. Some neurotransmitters, like dopamine, essential to feelings of pleasure and reward, are also depleted by stress and a lack of sleep. Alcohol, caffeine and sugar all appear to lessen the effects of some neurotransmitters in the brain. In addition to a healthy, varied diet, the brain also needs healthy everyday living habits.
What you eat affects which nerve chemicals will be dominant in your brain, which affects how you feel. Carbohydrates can make you feel tired because they increase the brain's level of the amino acid tryptophan, which in turn spurs the brain to make the calming neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is important for normal sleep patterns, learning,

Marigolds did not arrive in North America until the time after the Revolutionary War. In the early 1900’s both the sweet pea and marigold were gaining popularity in the United States. It was in the 1920’s when breeding led to the introduction of hundreds of new varieties. Some of the new developed marigolds

Opal History and Lore (October Birthstone) Writers have compared opals to volcanoes, galaxies, and fireworks. Admirers gave extraordinary opals poetic names like Pandora, Light of the World, and Empress. In ancient Rome, this gem symbolized love and hope. The Romans gave it a name—opalus—that was synonymous with “precious stone.” In 75 AD, the Roman scholar Pliny observed, “Some opali carry such a play within them that they equal the deepest and richest colors of painters. Others…simulate the flaming fire of burning sulphur and even the bright blaze of burning oil.” He marveled that this kaleidoscopic gem encompassed the red of ruby, the green of emerald, the yellow of topaz, the blue of sapphire, and the purple of amethyst. Many cultures have credited opal with supernatural origins and powers. Arabic legends say it falls from the heavens in flashes of lightning. The ancient Greeks believed opals gave their owners the gift of prophecy and guarded them from disease. Europeans have long considered the gem a symbol of hope, purity, and truth. Opal is considered an October birthstone. Some people think it’s unlucky for anyone born in another month to wear an opal. But that particular superstition comes from a novel written in the 1800s (Anne of Geierstein by Sir Walter Scott), and not from any ancient belief or experience. In fact, throughout most of history, opal has been regarded as the luckiest and most magical of all gems because it can show all colors. Once, it was thought to have the power to preserve the life and color of blond hair.
Tourmaline History and Lore October Birthstone Somewhere in Brazil in the 1500s, a Spanish conquistador washed the dirt from a green tourmaline crystal and confused the vibrant gem with emerald. His confusion lived on until scientists recognized tourmaline as a distinct mineral species in the 1800s. The confusion about the stone’s identity is even reflected in its name, which comes from toramalli, which means “mixed gems” in Sinhalese (a language of Sri Lanka). It’s a term Dutch merchants applied to the multicolored, water-worn pebbles that miners found in the gem gravels of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). It’s easy to understand why people so easily confuse tourmaline with other gems: Very few gems match tourmaline’s dazzling range of colors. From rich reds to pastel pinks and peach colors, intense emerald greens to vivid yellows and deep blues, the breadth of this gem’s color range is unrivalled. Brazilian discoveries in the 1980s and 1990s heightened tourmaline’s appeal by bringing intense new hues to the marketplace. People have probably used tourmaline as a gem for centuries, but until the development of modern mineralogy, they identified it as some other stone (ruby, sapphire, emerald, and so forth) based on its coloring. One of the earliest reports of tourmaline in California was in 1892. In the late 1800s, tourmaline became known as an American gem through the efforts of Tiffany gemologist George F. Kunz. He wrote about the tourmaline deposits of Maine and California, and praised the stones they produced. In spite of its American roots, tourmaline’s biggest market at the time was in China. Much of the pink and red tourmaline from San Diego County in California was shipped to China because the Chinese Dowager Empress Tz'u Hsi was especially fond of the color. There, craftsmen carved the tourmaline into snuff bottles and other pieces to be set in jewelry. San Diego County's famed tourmaline mines include the Tourmaline Queen, Tourmaline King, Stewart, Pala Chief, and Himalaya. The miners became so dependent on Chinese trade that when the Chinese government collapsed in 1912, the US tourmaline trade also collapsed. The Himalaya mine stopped producing large volumes of gemstones. Other mines in San Diego County, like the Stewart Lithia mine at Pala, still produce sporadic supplies of gem-quality tourmaline.
Have you ever wondered about the history of Halloween? You may be surprised to find out that Halloween stems from ancient practices, beliefs, and tra ditions. Each year on October 31st people from all over celebrate Halloween. A favorite of children and those who like to tap into their "inner child", Halloween is a day to dress up in costume, hand out candy (usually to children), and try to frighten each other and ourselves with spooky stories. Like many holidays that are celebrated today, Halloween did not start off being celebrated in this manner - its origins have a history that started many centuries ago.
History Of Halloween And Its Pagan Roots Over 2000 years ago, the ancient Celts, who lived in the area that is now Ireland, Great Britain, and Northern France, celebrated November 1st as their New Year. Since this time of the year was the beginning of winter and colder, darker days, it was more closely associated with death than any other time of the year. The Celts believed that it was at this time that the souls of the dead traveled into the other world. They also believed that during this time the dead were more likely to move among the living. To help the dead along their journey and keep the living from being affected by those of the dead who were evil, the Celts held a festival called Samhain. During this festival they would sacrifice animals, vegetables, and fruits to the dead, and light bonfires in honor of them. Also during the festival of Samhain, the Celts wore costumes of animal skins and heads, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes. When the Celts were conquered by the Roman Empire, the influence of Christianity began to permeate the Celtic rituals and beliefs. Christian missionaries and higher Roman Catholic officials declared the festival of Samhain to be evil, and sought ways to change the festival to become more Christian-oriented. The act of making pagan holidays Christian allowed for the easier conversion of those that practiced pagan practices or that adhered to pagan religions. In the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV proclaimed November 1st as “All Saints Day”, which was also known as
“All Hallows” or “All Hallowmas”. From this came the name “Halloween”. In Christian traditions, the “Hallow” in “Halloween” comes to represented “saints” that are honored or revered as holy. The day, as an ancient Christian practice involved a feast celebrating all saints and martyrs; the celebration commonly occurred on November 1st and was first celebrated by Christians during the eighth century. Christians adhering to All Souls’ Day practices commonly used soul cakes; these cakes were givien to those individuals that were poor so that the poor would, in turn, offer up prayers for the deceased. This tradition also stems back to ancient pagan practices where foods woul d be left out for the deceased to either satiate “hungry ghosts” or to appease and/or honor the deceased that would return on Samhain to visit their living relatives. In addition, poor people would practice the tradition of “souling” where they would go door-to-door in wealthy neighborhoods in order to get soul cakes, alms, and fruit. This was the origins of the modern day practice of "trick-or-treating" where children in costumes go from door to door to get Halloween candy. When Protestantism become popular in England, the ringing of church bells on All Soul’s Day was banned and the holiday was not practiced in the Church. Nevertheless, well into the sixteenth century people continued to offer prayers for the deceased, sometimes holding to the traditions in open fields at night: fields alit by bonfires and torches. No matter how hard the church tried many of the native Celts still celebrated in the way that they always had. The evening prior to “All Saints Day” or “All Souls Day” was still observed by many Celts by leaving gifts of food outside their doors to appease the spirits. Many people today do not realize that this is the tradition they are following when they give gifts of candy to the “ghosts and goblins” that come knocking on their doors on Halloween night. Of course, from the festival of Sanhaim comes the tradition of the Halloween party, where guests come dressed in their favorite Halloween costumes.
In the late nineteenth century, Samhain became identified as the Celtic New Year and today many pagans consider Samhain a day marking the New Year and a time for celebration. Samhain is a holiday that marks the ending of the season of light and the coming of darkness; the days will become increasingly shorter and the nights will be longer, until the longest night occurs on Yule in December. The day was celebrated with the lighting of bonfires, ritual cleansings, of readying for the winter, and of taking stock of grain and herd supplies. Any animals that were slaughtered during that time had their bones cast into the great bonfires. In Gaelic traditions, some individuals wore costumes as a way of appeasing evil spirits or as a method of confusing the spirits so that they could not be discovered by spirits with mal-intent. Turnips were carved out and turned into lanterns; this is where the modern day jack-o-lantern carving practices are derived. The light that came forth from the carved turnips was supposed to frighten off evil spirits and to keep them at bay. The Roots of Halloween Fun Trick-or-treating may also stem from ancient Irish practices surrounding the Saint Columb Kill Festival. At the time, peasants would go from house to house collecting cheese, apples, butter, eggs, and breadcakes in order to prepare for the festivities. Interestingly, the consumption of fruitcake, a practice now commonly associated with Christmas, was originally linked to Halloween traditions as well; during Halloween some people would eat barnbrack: inside the latter treat one would find a small treat that was meant for the purposes of divination. Bobbing for Apples is also a custom that is linked to Halloween and ancient practices. When the Celts were conquered by the Romans, the latter peoples added their own religious significance to the Samhain holidays. During that time the peoples worshipped a form of the feminine divine known as the goddess Pomona: a goddess associated with the harvest. She was commonly depicted at a deity with a basket of flowers and fruits; it was believed that the apple was sacred to this goddess. So bobbing for apples became a practice as a result. Part of divinatory practices, if a female bobbed for an apple and then placed the retrieved apple under her
pillow; it was believed that she would dream about her future love. Halloween Colors were also significant to those that practiced Samhain or Halloween. Colors are used to signify the religious connotations or meanings associated with the holiday. The blacks, browns, and greens are associated with the earth. Black is also associated with death and decay, making it an ideal color to associate with a celebration that was performed to honor the dead. Orange is not only a color associated with Autumnal leaves, but it is a color representing endurance and strength as well. Halloween Goes Mainstream Halloween became widely practiced in the United States during the nineteen and twentieth centuries. Traditions included the carving of pumpkins into Jack-o’-lanterns, going doorto-door guising or trick-ortreating in costume. Many superstitions about the holiday continue to this day. Coming in a close second to Christmas in terms of recognition and spending, Halloween is a major commercial holiday in the United States today. People spend well-over 2.5 billion dollars every year on candy, costumes, and decorations for the holiday annually. Other cultures celebrate similar holidays around the world. In Czechoslovakia, Halloween night is celebrated by placing chairs around the fireplace. There is one chair for each living family member, and one chair for the spirit of each deceased family member. In Mexico, Halloween is celebrated as “El Dia de los Muertos”, or “The Day of the Dead”. A festive and happy celebration, El Dia de los Muertos goes on for 3 days, and altars decorated with food, flowers, and photographs are constructed for deceased family members who are believed to return to earth on Halloween.
The Legend of Moses White In the summer of 1865, following the end of the Civil War, young Raymond “Moses” White returned to his home in the sleepy little community of Trinity, Florida. Like many of his neighbors, he had fought long and hard against the Union armies in such faraway places as Tallahassee and Pensacola. Fortunately, unlike many of his neighbors, he returned home not much worse for the better, having survived the war with only a few scars and scratches. Nevertheless, young Moses, as he preferred to be called, was thankful to return home to his family at all. Moses had entered the army at the ripe old age of 14 in the year 1862, with his duties being assigned as nothing more than a “gopher”, but as the war grew on, he began assuming more and more front line duties, ultimately ending his service career as an infantryman. Returning home, young Moses, now 17 years old resumed working the family farm, raising oranges, corn and cattle. When Moses wasn't working, he would resort to his favorite past time of fishing. Fishing was good, as it provided an endless supply of fish for the family meals. Of Moses’ most favorite places to fish, was an isolated little lake, infested with water moccasins and alligators and known only to the local residents of Trinity. The lake had no name, but was highly prized by the locals for its huge plentiful bounty of fish. The trick was,
however, to catch the fish before the alligators got them or got you. Moses got pretty good at this as he always returned home with a bounty of fresh fish and a good story or two regarding the narrow escapes from the alligators. Moses life remained fairly simple as he got older, until he was no longer able to tend the farm. Moses' love of fishing, however, remained strong, and, as he had done for so many years, he could be seen daily on his way to his favorite fishing spot at his favorite little lake, and he would always return home in the evening with a bountiful collection of fish. Now Moses was a deeply religious man, having seen more than one revelation in his lifetime, many of which he truly believed had safely returned him home from the war and had allowed him to provide for his family through the hard times, such as the Depression Era of 1929. Because of his love for the Lord, and his strong religious beliefs, Moses always made it a point to rest on Sunday and devote the entire day to the service of his Father and his family, and that included, NO FISHING. The week of March 23, 1931, brought torrential rains to Trinity, Florida. The horrible weather continued for 4 straight days and nights with only short periods of clearing, resulting in massive flooding in the local lakes and canals. Alligators, snakes and other reptiles were everywhere as they tried to escape the flooded waters in search of a small
section of dry land. It wasn't until Saturday, March 28, that the rains finally stopped and the weather attained some sense of clearing. Moses, at 81 years of age, although still healthy, had used every ounce of his strength to help his family keep the home place from literally floating away. It had been an uphill battle, the likes of which Moses and his family had never seen before, but with the weather clearing, the home place began to look like it would survive. On Saturday night, as Moses prepared to retire for the evening, as he always did, he took a moment to thank his Father for allowing his family, himself and his home to survive the recent flooding. On this particular night, however, Moses took it upon himself to ask for one special request. “Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for all the blessings that you have bestowed upon me during my lifetime and I, to the best of my ability have tried to live a Christian life, so would you please grant me this one request...may I forgo Church tomorrow and go fishing?� Sunday morning arrived and Moses, feeling that his prayers were answered, was up at the crack of dawn, gathering his fishing gear and preparing to head to the lake. From this point, the legend becomes somewhat cloudy. His family recalls Moses leaving the house at approximately 6:00 AM, and, a distant neighbor remembers seeing him go past his gate at approximately 6:30 AM. Whatever time it was, it is almost
certain that Moses made it to the lake, but what happened beyond that is food for thought. The fact is that Moses was never seen again, after that Sunday morning. Rumors have flown since that fateful day. . was Moses eaten by an alligator, did he fall into the lake and drown or did he happen upon some other misfortune? The fact remains, Moses just disappeared. Why is the story of such interest? Well, the lake in question became what is now known as Lake Hammock and the community of Trinity was the little community just west of Haines City on Old Polk City RD. It is said, that on windy evenings, especially during or following heavy rains, you can go down to the lake and hear,
Moooooses.....Moooooses.....Moooooses!
Now one can ask, is this simply the wind, or is it a lost soul calling out his name in hopes of someone coming to find him. Whoooooo knoooooows! Written by: Clark Smith
