Without looking at a chess board, draw it yourself and mark the board with its corresponding letters and numbers along the bottom and left side. One important hint for setting up a chess board is to always have the bottom right square set as white. This month’s chess puzzle includes an invitation to watch a great chess movie which was just released. It is based on the true story of a young boy from Brooklyn going against the Russian empire and becoming a world chess champion. Last month’s solution: Answer from last month’s puzzle: Moving the black bishop to H3 is a move which is also sacrificing the bishop, but also creates a strong chain of pawns for blacks. Please contact Bilian if you are interested in visiting the movies in a group. For questions or suggestions, please contact Bilian at (561) 846-9947. Phone: (561) 624-3400 Chess Club

SECURITY

Mark Hall - Director of Security

The Grandparent Scam - Don’t Let It Happen to You You’re a grandparent, and you get a phone call or an e-mail from someone who identifies himself as your grandson. “I’ve been arrested in another country,” he says, “and need money wired quickly to pay my bail. And oh by the way, don’t tell my mom or dad because they’ll only get upset!” This is an example of what’s come to be known as “the grandparent scam”—yet another fraud that preys on the elderly, this time by taking advantage of their love and concern for their grandchildren. The grandparent scam has been around for a few years—The FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has been receiving reports about it since 2008. But the scam and scam artists have become more sophisticated. Thanks to the Internet and social networking sites, a criminal can sometimes uncover personal information about their targets, which makes the impersonations more believable. For example, the actual grandson may mention on his social networking site that he’s a photographer who often travels to Mexico. When contacting the grandparents, the phony grandson will say he’s calling from Mexico, where someone stole his camera equipment and passport. Common scenarios include: • A grandparent receives a phone call (or sometimes an e-mail) from a “grandchild.” If it is a phone call, it’s often late at night or early in themorningwhenmost people aren’t thinking that clearly.Usually, the person claims to be traveling in a foreign country and has gotten into a bad situation, like being arrested for drugs, getting in a car accident, or being mugged…and needs money wiredASAP. And the caller doesn’t want his or her parents told. • Sometimes, instead of the “grandchild” making the phone call, the criminal pretends to be an arresting police officer, a lawyer, a doctor at a hospital, or some other person. And we’ve also received complaints about the phony grandchild talking first and then handing the phone over to an accomplice…to further spin the fake tale. • We’ve also seen military families victimized: after perusing a soldier’s social networking site, a con artist will contact the soldier’s grandparents, sometimes claiming that a problem came up during military leave that requires money to address. • While it’s commonly called the grandparent scam, criminals may also claim to be a family friend, a niece or nephew, or another family member.

SECURITY

The Grandparent Scam continued

What to do if you have been VIctimized? The financial losses in these cases - while they can be substantial for an individual, usually several thousand dollars per victim - typically don’t meet the FBI’s financial thresholds for opening an investigation. We recommend contacting your local authorities or state consumer protection agency if you think you’ve been victimized.We also suggest you file a complaint with IC3, which not only forwards complaints to the appropriate agencies, but also collates and analyzes the data - looking for common threads that link complaints and help identify the culprits.

And, our advice to avoid being victimized in the first place:

• Resist the pressure to act quickly.

• Try to contact your grandchild or another familymember to determinewhether or not the call is legitimate.

• Never wire money based on a request made over the phone or in an e-mail...especially overseas. Wiring money is like giving cash—once you send it, you can’t get it back. Please do not hesitate to contact Frenchman’s Creek Security if you have any questions or for advice about the Grandparent Scam at (561) 622-7800.

TENNIS

Tikky Srieud - Director of Tennis

What is a hydrocourt? A HydroCourt is a self-regulating system that is fully adjustable to player preference. Over 2,000 years ago, Archimedes discovered the principle that water will seek its own level. Today, HydroCourt is designed to water your Har-Tru tennis court frombelow the surface by incorporating the latest technology with that very principle. HydroCourts are constructed with six individually controlled cells. Each cell is monitored by a separate water- filled control box. Water enters the control box and flows through pipes to cells lined with a chemical-resistant 20 mm thick hyperlastic liner.

As the water level in the control box rises, the water level under the court also rises.You control the amount of moisture in the court surface by adjusting the water level in the control box up or down. It’s that simple.

Lots of tennis and games will be played! We have our first two HydroCourt systems installed on courts 2 and 3 for this Season. We are confident everyone will enjoy these amazing new courts! Tennis Activities Children’s FunTennis Clinics
