INSURANCE TIPS
We encourage all homeowners to make an inventory of their
contents or personal property, before its too late. Every
household has a junk drawer or storage room, and we really
dont know whats in it.
If youre a new homeowner, starting an inventory is relatively
simple. If youve lived in your home for a few years, thingsstart to accumulate and making an inventory can seem
overwhelming, but it is better to have an incomplete inventory
than no inventory at all.
Take pictures: Go around your home and take multiple pictures
of every room at different angles. Attach the pictures to a list
of items in the room.
Take a video: Walk through your home while videotaping and
describe the contents of each room.
Make a list: You can make an inventory list and organize them
by category or by room.
Keep any receipts or appraisals you may have with your list.
For valuable items such as jewelry, artwork or collectibles, you
should check with your agent to make sure you have adequate
coverage. You may need to obtain additional coverage for
these items. For appliances and electronics, make sure to
note the make, model and serial number.
Another factor to keep in mind is that your homeowners contents
coverage covers anyones belongings who permanently live in
your home. For example, if your mother moves in with you,
she brings most of her things with her. This, in turn, causes
your contents amount to increase. It is important to not only
add her personal property to your inventory list, but to alsoinform your insurance agent. The same goes for the inverse.
No matter how you choose to inventory your personal
property, you want to make sure to keep the pictures and les
in a safe place. It is best to keep a copy in a reproof safe or
safe deposit box, also give a copy to your insurance agent to
keep with your le. Also, make sure to keep your inventory up
to date by revising it annually and adding any new purchases
or gifts.
Many homeowners dont understand why they need to insure
their home for more than the current value. In many cases,
the cost to rebuild a home exceeds the market value (the costof which you could sell the same home for) and heres why:
because they cant buy materials in bulk
older homes to meet building codes
materials and labor rise due to high demand in the area
Although it may cost more to insure your home for the
replacement cost instead of the market value, you will have
adequate coverage in the event of a re or disaster.
CLEAN YOUR
DRYER VENTS!
The photo above shows dryer lint that came out of adryer vent after one resident took Joe Pomas advice andbought a DRYER LINT REMOVAL KIT from HomeDepot. The kit is less than $25 and did a great job!
The residents that did this work are impeccably cleanand do preventative maintenance all of the time. Takenote of what comes out of the dryer vent even in thecleanest of homes. Maintaining your dryer vent notonly increases the efciency of the appliance, loweringutility costs, but also reduces the risk of dryer res.

During WWII there was an invasion eetapproaching the Japanese Nation. It included twoaircraf carriers. I was talking to Dino Santino atthe Highland Lakes Clubhouse one day and oundout that he was on the carrier Boxer and I was on theother carrier Antietam. It was a small world BobWorld. Our riendship continued until he passedaway.
Te Doolittle Raiders held their 71st andnal public reunion in Fort Walton Beach,Florida, April 16-20, 2013.
O the 80 men who took part in the daringmission to bomb Japan, only our are stillliving. Tree were able to attend this nalreunion: Lt. Col. Richard Cole, 97, co-pilot on
plane #1 who ew with Col. Jimmy Doolittle;Lt. Col. Edward Saylor, 93, an engineer on
plane #15; and Staff Sgt. David Tatcher, 92,an engineer and gunner. Te ourth, Lt. Col.Bob Hite, 95, co-pilot o plane #16, could nottravel due to illness.
Tey once were among the most universally admiredand revered men in the United States. Tere were 80 othe Raiders in April 1942, when they carried out oneo the most courageous and heart-stirring military
operations in this nations history. Te mere mention otheir units name, in those years, would bring tears to theeyes o grateul Americans. Now only our survive.
Afer Japans sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, with theUnited States reeling and wounded, something dramaticwas needed to turn the war effort around.
Even though there were no riendly airelds closeenough to Japan or the United States to launch aretaliation, a daring plan was devised. Sixteen B-25s
were modied so that they could take off rom the decko an aircraf carrier. Tis had never beore been tried-- sending such big, heavy bombers rom a carrier.
Te 16 ve-man crews, under the command o Lt. Col.
James Doolittle, who himsel ew the lead plane off the
USS Hornet, knew that they would not be able to return
to the carrier. Tey would have to hit Japan and then
hope to make it to China or a sae landing.
But on the day o the raid, the Japanese military caught
wind o the plan. Te Raiders were told that they would
have to take off rom much arther out in the Pacic
Ocean than they had counted on. Tey were told that
because o this they would not have enough uel to makeit to saety. And those men went anyway.
Tey bombed okyo, and then ew as ar as they could.
Four planes crash-landed; 11 more crews bailed out,
and three o the Raiders died. Eight more were captured;
three were executed. Another died o starvation in a
Japanese prison camp. One crew made it to Russia. Te
Doolittle Raid sent a message rom the United States to
its enemies, and to the rest o the world: We will ght.

And, no matter what it takes, we will win.
O the 80 Raiders, 62 survived the war. Tey werecelebrated as national heroes, models o bravery. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced a motion picture based onthe raid; Tirty Seconds Over okyo, starring Spencerracy and Van Johnson, was a patriotic and emotionalbox-offi ce hit, and the phrase became part o the
national lexicon. In the movie-theater previews or thelm, MGM proclaimed that it was presenting the storywith supreme pride.
Beginning in 1946, the surviving Raiders have helda reunion each April, to commemorate the mission.Te reunion is in a different city each year. In 1959,the city o ucson, Arizona, as a gesture o respect andgratitude, presented the Doolittle Raiders with a set o80 silver goblets. Each goblet was engraved with thename o a Raider.
Pearl Harbor attack 70th anniversary Pearl Harbor,70 years later 1941: Japan bombs Pearl Harbor
Every year, a wooden display case bearing all 80goblets is transported to the reunion city. Each time aRaider passes away, his goblet is turned upside downin the case at the next reunion, as his old riends bearsolemn witness.
Also in the wooden case is a bottle o 1896 HennessyVery Special cognac. Te year is not happenstance:1896 was when Jimmy Doolittle was born.
Tere has always been a plan: When there are onlytwo surviving Raiders, they would open the bottle,at last drink rom it, and toast their comrades whopreceded them in death.
As 2013 began, there were ve living Raiders; then, inFebruary, om Griffi n passed away at age 96.
Te name may be amiliar to those o you whoregularly read this column; in 2011, I wrote about therole Mr. Griffi n played at his sons wedding.
What a man he was. Afer bailing out o his plane
over a mountainous Chinese orest afer the okyo raid,he became ill with malaria, and almost died. When herecovered, he was sent to Europe to y more combatmissions. He was shot down, captured, and spent 22months in a German prisoner o war camp.
Te selessness o these men, the sheer guts ... therewas a passage in the Cincinnati Enquirer obituary orMr. Griffi n that, on the surace, had nothing to do withthe war, but that emblematizes the depth o his sense oduty and devotion:
When his wie became ill and needed to go into a
nursing home, he visited her every day. He walked rom
his house to the nursing home, ed his wie and at the
end o the day brought home her clothes. At night, he
washed and ironed her clothes. Ten he walked them
up to her room the next morning. He did that or three
years until her death in 2005.
So now, out o the original 80, only our Raiders
remain: Dick Cole (Doolittles co-pilot on the okyo
raid), Robert Hite, Edward Saylor and David Tatcher.
All are in their 90s. Tey have decided that there are too
ew o them or the public reunions to continue.
Te events in Fort Walton Beach marked the end. It
has come ull circle; Floridas nearby Eglin Field was
where the Raiders trained in secrecy or the okyo
mission.
Te town is planning to do all it can to honor themen: a six-day celebration o their valor, including
luncheons, a dinner and a parade.
Do the men ever wonder i those o us or whom they
helped save the country have tended to it in a way that
is worthy o their sacrice? Tey dont talk about that,
at least not around other people. But i you should
encounter any o the Raiders, you might want to offer
them a word o thanks. I can tell you rom rsthand
observation that they appreciate hearing that they are
remembered.Te men have decided that afer this nal public
reunion they will wait until a later date -- some time
this year -- to get together once more, inormally and in
absolute privacy. Tat is when they will open the bottle
o brandy. Te years are owing by too swifly now; they
are not going to wait until there are only two o them.
Tey will ll the our remaining upturned goblets.
And raise them in a toast to those who are gone.

Highland Lakes Condominium Association
FIREPLACE AND CHIMNEY CLEANING POLICY(Short-Form)
Issued and Passed by the Board of Directors: October 1, 2005
The National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) cites one major cause of home heating res
as a lack of regular cleaning and resultant creosote and nesting material build-up in wood-burningdevices, associated chimneys and connectors.
Highland Lakes Condominium Association, in the interest of reducing the likelihood of res resulting
from improperly maintained replaces and chimneys, requires that allreplaces and chimneys be
inspected and cleaned by a qualied, licensed and properly insured contractor on an annual basis.
This policy, as approved and adopted by the Board of Directors, is mandatory for all units containing
a replace.
Responsibilities:
Highland Lakes has adopted a Fireplace and Chimney Cleaning and Inspection Policy. The Association
shall be responsible for publishing co-owner notication in the Herald and making this program mandatoryfor all units containing a replace.
Owners are responsible for ensuring access to each replace and chimney in accordance with normal
Association procedures, scheduling the annual inspection and cleaning, maintaining the replace and
appurtenant hardware and responsibly using the replace as designed.
The contractor shall diligently perform all duties per N.F.P.A. and building codes. The inspection and
cleaning report shall disclose in writing the name of the owner, street address, unit number, date of service,
name of technician, ndings of the inspection, description of the service provided and conrm that the
replace and appurtenant hardware and chimney are safe or unsafe for normal usage. A copy of this report
shall be given to the owner and a signed true copy to Highland Lakes. Further, if the replace is found
unsafe, the contractor shall red tag the unit and immediately notify the Property Manager or Maintenance
Superintendent, and the owner of the unit.
The owner(s) of each condominium unit shall be responsible for the cost to inspect, clean, and maintain
their units replace, ue and chimney. Repairs to the replace, rebox, rebricks, ue, and chimney up to
the point of the rooine shall be the sole responsibility of the condominium owner. Repairs to the chimney
roof enclosure, screen and/or vent pipe above the rooine shall be the responsibility of the Association.
Notes:
1) A full-copy of the Fireplace and Chimney Cleaning Policy is available free of charge, at the clubhouse, to
any co-owner or occupant.2) Fireplaces and wood burning appliances are used to a greater extent during the winter months or colder
weather. This is the time when res typically occur due to a failure to clean and inspect. HLCA is advising
all residents of this issue. Your own inspection of your replace and the ability to see daylight as you look
up the chimney is not a sufcient determining factor that the replace is t for use. Creosote, ash deposits,
nesting material, etc. may be bound to the inside walls and look like the wall itself. A qualied professional
must do the work.
3) HLCA has business cards at the ofce for resident-recommended contractors that have done work here for
years. The price for the work is somewhat nominal.
4) Any questions should be directed to the administrative staff.

Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add vegetables and cook untilslightly tender and a bit translucent. Add seasoning. Crush thesaltine crackers while in their sleeve and add to vegetables. (youcan dump all of this into a large bowl, if your skillet cant handle thevolume). Add a little broth and toss (the crackers shouldnt be toowet. The stuffing will absorb juices from the bird during roasting.It should be relatively of dry when you stuff the bird... but not toodry). Add a beaten egg at this point, if you prefer. If you like to slicethe cold stuffing the next day, add them. If you prefer less density,dont. Thats enough stuffing for a small turkey (up to 12 lbs).
1 Tbsp poultry seasoning or sage 1 box of saltine crackers (salted) broth (chicken or turkey - as needed)
1 or 2 beaten eggs (optional)
ITALIAN GARLIC BREAD STICKS cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp garlic powder
cup butter, melted 1 tube (11 oz) refrigerated breadsticks
In a shallow bowl, combine the cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Place the butter in anothershallow bowl. Separate the dough into individual breadsticks. Dip in butter, then in cheese mixture. Twist2-3 times and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.Serve immediately.
