OPINION
The
Presidents
Report
Investigations and Fair

Housing Complaints
BY DAVE ISR AE L
UCO has, over many years,
developed a sophisticated process to
assist each association to thoroughly
screen all prospective tenants, owners
and occupants. This process has a
robust legal basis via the Bilateral
Agreement between your association
and UCO. For the most part, this
works well, and serves to block serious
felons and those persons who are prone
to avoid their financial obligations to
your association.
Of late, a number of complaints
have arisen that involve members of
a Protected Class. I have published
the Federal List of Protected Class in
previous editions of the Reporter, and I
am publishing it again. The following
characteristics define Protected
Classes, and under federal law, you
may not discriminate against persons
who exhibit these characteristics:
Race Civil Rights Act of 1964
Color Civil Rights Act of 1964
Religion Civil Rights Act of 1964
National origin Civil Rights
Act of 1964
Age (40 and over) Age
Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967
Sex Equal Pay Act of 1963 and
Civil Rights Act of 1964
Pregnancy

Pregnancy
Citizenship Immigration
Reform and Control Act
Familial status Civil Rights
Act of 1968 Title VIII: Housing

Act of 1990

Assistance Act of 1974 and
Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act
Genetic information Genetic

Information Nondiscrimination
Act
As I write this article, UCO is
the target of complaints by persons
belonging to two of the listed classes,
namely Color and Disability. The claim
is that certain associations and UCO
are accused of discrimination against
persons of these classes, by denying
them housing in their buildings.
How, you may ask, does UCO get
tarred with this denial brush? The
associations have both stated that
UCO told us to reject these people.
Reader, please take note: UCO has
nothing to do with your association's
decision to accept or reject any
applicant.
Unfortunately, the local Office
of Equal Opportunity tends to
believe these accusations, and once
adjudicated guilty, penalties are levied,
which are expensive to every unit
owner! How can this be? Simple. Every
time a complaint is launched against
your association, or UCO, insurance
claims are triggered under our policy
coverage. The deductible for your
association under the Brown & Brown
program is $1,000. The Deductible for
UCO is $10,000. If your association
follows the advice of our attorney,
UCO will cover your deductible.
This process can get expensive
very quickly, and it puts UCO at risk
of not being able to obtain coverage;
if this happens, UCO is out of the
investigations business.
The moral of this story is: Do not
reject anyone based on discrimination
against a protected class, and do not
tell anyone that UCO told you to reject
anyone. If our volunteers say to you
that our attorney says you may reject,
it will never be for discriminatory
reasons.
So, if someone here in UCO opines
to you above and beyond the attorneys
opinion, write down the persons name,
the date, and let me know personally
as soon as possible. Help save your
Investigations program.
Free Speech, Not

Free Screech
BY A N I TA B U C H A N A N
At the May 2nd Delegates
Assembly, a UCO member (members
by definition are all unit owners)
took the microphone to ask for
support of lawsuits worth $5 million
against UCO and President David
Israel: With UCO officers on the stage
and UCO delegates in the audience,
this UCO member asked her fellow
delegates to sue themselves and pay
for it! She told us not to worry: It
wouldnt cost us anything because
insurance would pay for it. Delegates,
with the exception of her supporters,
sat in stunned silence.
Then again at the June 6th
Delegates Assembly, the same
member stood up and said, There
is a group of residents attempting
to fool you into thinking the lawsuit
against David Israel and UCO is
against the residents. Ill explain
why this reasoning is wrong. She
was asked to stop because she was
neither a plaintiff in the lawsuit nor
an attorney with the credentials to
clarify it. She objected, and then, as
the saying goes, chaos ensued. She
screamed ugly accusations at Dave
Israel, was asked several times to be
seated and then called out of order.
She continued shouting over the calls
from the audience for her to leave
and for Security to remove her. She
refused to go when security officers
arrived. Mercifully, someone called
for adjournment.
This incident followed a recent
episode at the UCO Reporter when
she used vile obscenities to curse out
the Editor. Delegates have heard her
angry outbursts before, but her sheer
fury at the June meeting hit a new
low. She and her supporters can gin
up any charges they want, ask people
privately for money and even object
to being called out of order. But
undisciplined, irrational displays are
out of bounds.
Issues to Consider
The lawsuits center on the paving
of the roads. The results of the project
were far from perfect, and repairs
still need to be made. Who can point
to a major infrastructure project in
any city or town that did not come
with problems? Remember that the
paving was inspected by professional
engineers at 30 random test
points, and all 30 locations passed
inspection. What would a court find
us guilty of? Imperfection?
Supporters of the lawsuits,
including our member who disrupted
the Delegates Assembly, have
been encouraging associations to
contribute money for their attorneys
fees. UCOs attorney advises that
associations are not parties to the
suits (not members of the class
action) and, according to by-laws,
have no authority to use building
funds for lawsuits not specific to
their association.
Insurance would in fact have to pay
for the lawsuit. Then our premiums
would skyrocket or we could even
be dropped. Any new vendor that
might agree to cover us would charge
exorbitant rates because of our
history of litigation.
Some of the people behind the
lawsuits ran this year for election
to UCO office and lost. Before that
they tried to recall David Israel and
were voted down by a huge margin.
They filed charges against our former
LCAM which were dismissed. They
pressed for term limits and lost the
vote twice. Are these lawsuits about
roadways, or revenge?
Free speech is one thing, but verbal
abuse and disorder are another. We
dont have to tolerate bad behavior;
we can remove offensive people from
our meetings. Its almost a moot
point: Screamers lose credibility and
sooner or later no one listens to their
rants.
See Transportation Changes in Bus Schedule, page B22.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Furthermore, the ground may be
toxic from all the chemicals that
have been used over the years for the
maintenance of a golf course.
There are 7,854 units in our village.
This means more than 7,854 people
would be living in an unhealthy
environment.
To answer my own question my
quality of life would become a disaster!
Joyce Robin
Developer Ignores
Perpetuity Clause
I am writing in response to The
Post article published on Friday, May
9th regarding Pine Glades Natural
Area. The dedication was presented
by Commissioner Hal Valeche who
stated: This is what Florida looked
like hundreds of thousands of years
ago, and it will be here in perpetuity.
I find this statement very
interesting and disturbing. I am a
resident of Century Village, West
Palm Beach and have been following
the status regarding the County
Commissioners approval of the
zoning changes regarding the closed
golf course adjacent to Century
Village. The Commissioners vote
allows Reflection Bay, a residential/
commercial development, to go
forward on that property. When
this property was purchased by
the developer, the deed carried a
restriction clearly stating that the
property must remain a golf course
in perpetuity.
My question is: Why is perpetuity
upheld for public land and not for
private land???
A lawsuit has been filed by some
residents of Century Village whose
Condo units are on the same Plat
14 as the golf course which has the
perpetuity clause. We are awaiting
a decision from the Courts as it is
being reviewed by a panel of three
judges in the Circuit Court, Fifteenth
Judicial Circuit in and for Palm
Beach County, Florida.
If deed restrictions such as
perpetuity are not upheld by
the Court, the outcome could be
catastrophic to other Palm Beach
County owned property, State
property throughout Florida and
possibly even affect property in the
entire nation.
Gail Trust
Quality of Life
As a senior citizen living in
Century Village adjacent to the golf
course property, I ask myself: What
would happen to my quality of life if
Mr. Waldman has his way and builds
Reflection Bay?
The golf course was zoned as
recreational and was to remain so in
perpetuity. Why does the County
have double standards for County
property held in perpetuity? It
seems private property is at the mercy
of the County Commissioners who
serve their own district and satisfy
their own special interests.
If construction is approved, the
Village would have a disastrous
drainage problem. Many first floor
units near the property would be
flooded by this concrete city.
The Truth Prevails

Last month (May Edition) of the
UCO Reporter, William Gaiser in his
Letter to the Editor stated that
on record in the Clerk of Court's
documents were five lawsuits with
me as defendant in two and plaintiff
in three. This month the paper has
promised his retraction of that
statement. In addition, he stated that I
would personally profit. His retraction
of that statement is also to be printed.
People in glass houses should
not throw stones, as he, himself,
has documented in records in the
Clerk's office three lawsuits; one as a
foreclosure, one Chapter 7 and one as
plaintiff. At least, I did my homework.
The lesson here is do not make
statements unless you have proof of
what you speak.
This is, in law, libel. In verbal form,
it is slander and this runs rampant in
Century Village. One person will say
it and in an hour it is spread over the
Village and becomes Gospel Truth.
The truth is, the lawsuit will not
cost $100,000.00 and the only benefit
from this lawsuit is the money will
be directed by the court and used to
correct all of the problems with the
roads. No individual or group will
benefit other than all the residents
getting good roads.
My parting advice is, only speak
if you can prove it and only write it if
you can prove it or have a good libel
attorney. Edward R. Grossman, CPA
Retraction
On June 4, 2014 I received a letter
from Mr. Edward R. Grossmans
attorney concerning my letter in the
June 2014 UCO Reporter.
My first error was using the Palm
Beach County Clerk and Comptroller
website and looking up Ed Grossman.
I should have used Edward R.
Grossman. Therefore the paragraph
about the five cases should be
retracted.
My second error was allegedly
inferring only Mr. Edward R.
Grossman would personally profit.
This also should be retracted.
Hopefully this has retracted all of
my erroneous statements.
William Gaiser
The UCO Reporter regrets the error
made in the letter published in the
June 2014 edition.

If you have not yet been there,
check out the Blue Fish Restaurant
which Joy Vestal and Pat Sealander
wrote about in the June issue of the
UCO Reporter in the food column.
They did not exaggerate. My group
and I chose to go there while
wondering where to go next. Their
food is absolutely delicious and the
ambiance is really delightful with
fresh flowers on each table. Speaking
for myself, the prime rib early dinner
was excellent, served with soup or
salad, vegetable and dessert. The
portion of prime rib almost covered
the plate. It's so nice to have a new
place in town, so easy to get to on
Okeechobee and 441.

rates.
Its a mark of a good driver. Studies
have shown that in some midwestern
states where the topography is
flat as a pancake, drivers who at 3
AM, approaching a stop sign with
unlimited visibility of all the points
of the compass, had a stop rate of
88%.
It's just the right thing to do. Lets
make signaling for a turn equally
defensible because it's the right thing
to do.

Don't Wait for Disaster
I know that we never think of it,

but unit owners should check the
date of their water heaters and if they
show age of 10 years or more, its time
to consider replacing them before a
leak occurs or even worse a flood.
Water heaters are not lasting as
long as they did in years gone by. I
just had a leak and was lucky that I
noticed water on the bathroom floor
that was attributable to the water
heater. Even though I replaced it
immediately, there was enough water
there to warrant 6 floor fans and 2
very large humidifiers which had to
run for 4 days to dry up everything.
You have to consider mold prevention.

How Is The Care at The VA Hospital?

The UCO Reporter asked for
comments from our residents on
their opinion of their care at the
VA Hospital here in Riveria Beach.
Here are some of their comments/
opinions. Of course there is a great
deal of legislation being passed
in the Congress at this time that
hopefully will benefit our vets.
Thanks folks for your interest.

Outpatient Services
at VA Hospitals
I have been a resident here in
CV for 17 years and using the VA
hospital for about 15 of those years.
Fortunately, I have never had to use
the hospital section.
I am an 87-year-young Navy
WWII Veteran. I use the VA as an
outpatient. I am diabetic and I go to
the VA hospital every six (6) months.
They have never failed to notify me
that it was time for my physical and
my lab work. The lab work or the

blood draw is at 7 AM and the doctor
for the physical is at 9 AM. Since it is
all computerized, the doctor has the
results of the lab work by the time I
am ready to go for my physical at 9
o'clock. Being diabetic, I also have a
yearly Retinopathy Eye Examination.
All medicines are nine dollars
($9.00) for a 30-day period and are
refilled by phone and sent to me by
mail. I have been more than satisfied
with the service and treatment that I
have received.

A Great Staff
I was driving my brother from St.
Cloud, Florida to CV for a visit with
my husband Tom and me when I
looked in my inside rear mirror and
saw him with his head down and very
grey-looking. I got off the turnpike
and went straight to the VA here where
they confirmed my opinion that he
was in the middle of a massive heart
attack. They balanced him and sent
him by ambulance to JFK in Atlantis
where he was well taken care of.

Every Vote Counts
THE 2014 ELECTION CYCLE WILL BEGIN IN AUGUST
BY BOBBI LEVIN
The importance of voting in
America cannot be overstated.
The right to vote embodies the
spirit of American democracy.
When we exercise our right to
vote, the votes we cast extend
far beyond one election. We are
able to elect individuals who
will make concrete decisions
about how our government will
be run, both on the national
and local levels.
Many voters dont realize that

the PRIMARY is one of the most
important phases of the election
process. A PRIMARY is when
each vote counts the most because
it gives each voter the ability to
decide who the best candidate is.
The PRIMARY determines who
will be on the ballot in November.
People who take their vote seriously
VOTE IN THE PRIMARY so they
have a choice in selecting their
partys candidate.
Some people dont vote because
they think their vote doesnt matter
- that their individual vote is lost
in the shuff le. However, statistics
show that PRIMARY ELECTIONS
AND MID-TERM ELECTIONS
with low voter turnouts result
in upsets every year. The votes
of a handful of registered voters
can mean the difference between
success and failure.

there for Nick as well as for giving us a
few more family years with our kid
brother, most especially thankful
for all who were with us during his
final days and hours making him as
comfortable as possible.

We are now into the Rainy

Season. I'd rather not call it the
Hurricane Season because we
have rain much more frequently
than hurricanes. That being said, all
trimming of large shrubs and trees
should be complete. If your dumpster
has a bar across the top that prevents
wildlife from accessing the contents,
you should secure it after depositing
your trash. Some associations are
hiring a trapper to catch and relocate
racoons. It can be a futile endeavor
since the scent of food that attracts
the critter also attracts those racoons
that would normally go elsewhere. Be
selective!
There is a large number of patios
throughout the Village. Plans should
be in place as to where and who will
respond to store and/or secure the
furniture and moveable grilles to
a safe shelter in the event of a wind
storm. Those who have a screened
porch should re-open the drain holes
in the bottom aluminum extrusion
secured to the floor to allow entering
rain water to discharge and drain off
the floor. Where a closet is located
at one end of a porch in the high
rise buildings, the juncture or the
masonry wall and the floor should
be caulked. The floor expands
horizontal and the wall vertically,
thereby creating a gap through
which water can enter the closet and
wet carpeting as well as shoes and
clothing on the floor.
The intersection of Borden St.
and Century Boulevard continues
to cause concern with no resolution
in sight. We are seeking a history
of vehicular accidents to confirm
whether or not the change has merit.
Repairs to the Perimeter Walkway will
be made soon to rid the lengthy walk
of tripping hazards. Tree roots will
be removed and a barrier installed
to thwart the future migration of
roots coupled with uplift of asphalt.
We shall record the areas treated
and continue to monitor dangerous
changes.
Keep your neighbors in mind
as we continue through a period
where more than half the units are
unoccupied and, though we are
not our brothers keeper, we should
be aware of those around us. The
projections for this lengthy season
with an El Nino weather condition in
the Pacific hopefully are correct but
we should be prepared while hoping
to continue escaping storms. Be well!
After a long time of trying to get a

new sign for the Okeechobee entrance,
the beautification committee has
drawings of three (3) signs to choose
from. Of course, after they make
the decision which one to choose,
the contractor will still have to get a
permit and we all know how long that
can take especially since we want to
move it closer to Okeechobee. But at
least there is some progress and they
can go on to other projects.
If your building is not getting
the twice a week watering, please let
me know since there has been some
problems with irrigation and my own
building is having this problem as
well.
I am always interested in ways you
might think can improve the village,
so if you have any good ideas please
come into the office and see me.
Also, we are always in need of more
volunteers. So please come in and fill
out an application.
Transponders and bar

codes
It may be the quiet season here

in the Village but you would never
know it by the activity at UCO
and the UCO Reporter. Residents
are coming in everyday to get their
new bar codes. We have issued more
than 1,000 so far. The June edition
of the paper was 56 pages and it
looks like theres no letup in sight.
We are anxiously awaiting the
return of the RFPs that have been
sent to vendors for our WiFi system.
Those of us who are here have seen
the Palm Beach Water Department
working diligently in the Norwich
area to improve our water control
valves and they will also be
installing more fire hydrants where
necessary.
As we all know, hurricane season
has started and our CERT group
is meeting regularly to be wellprepared in case they are called
upon if theres a storm. We all
hope and pray this wont happen.
Our insurance committee is
always thinking ahead and is now
working on a plan that will provide
additional resources to help us in
case there is a need.
We are all enjoying our shows
every Saturday evening and movies
during the week as well as classes
and discussion groups that meet on
a regular basis too.
Our delegate meetings are
regularly attended and so far we
have had a quorum. Issues are
discussed and acted upon in a
timely manner.
So lets all enjoy our summer and
our quiet time.
Photo by Ken Graff
The move to replace the

transponders with bar codes began a
few weeks ago and is continuing. You
may wonder why this is happening.
The quality of the transponders
has rapidly deteriorated in recent
months after the supplier was
purchased. The shipment contained a
different transponder that would not
stay adhered to the windshield when
these transponders were subjected to
the Florida sunshine.
The new hardware needed to read
the bar code and raise the gate arm as
you enter the village is now installed
and operational. I volunteered to
guinea pig the new set up and it has
yet to fail.
We are suggesting that at your
convenience you acquire the bar code
for your car. There is no emergency at
this point. As I write this, the system
used to read the transponder is still
operational; however, it is no longer
supported and no parts are available.
I'd suggest that all current holders
of an operational transponder have it
replaced with a bar code.
One or two lightning strikes
will In all probability disable the
transponder system and, should that
happen, there might well be a rather
large number of folks at the UCO
office seeking a remedy. My advice
is for you to get the bar code now at
your leisure rather than wait and be
a part of what might be a very large
group making the request after the
hardware is disabled.
EDITORIAL
Yes, This is Paradise

BY J OY V E S TA L , CO - E D I T O R
As the front cover of our paper
tells us (as if we didnt already
know!) with the heat here its
already summer. There are many
activities as always happening in
the Village.
At a recent meeting that we
attended, a new resident stopped to
talk. Her message to us, meaning
all of us here in the Village, was
that in her opinion this is paradise.
She said she couldnt wait to settle

here permanently. We will certainly
welcome her especially since she will
offset the attitude of some residents
who have caused a great deal of unrest
especially in light of the recent
outburst at our delegates meeting
that is being fueled by a group of six
(6) dissidents. Thats right folks, six
(6) people. But enough said on this
subject. There will be no more from
this publication on them or their

platform.
So, having said this, lets get on
with the business of this Village
and the enjoyment of all of us
seniors.

FORTUNATELY THE VILLAGE HAS ITS BACK

COVERED BY THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
BY BOBBI LEVIN
Hurricane season is upon us.
Our County Commissioner, Vice
Mayor Paulette Burdick, reminds
us to BE PREPARED. The C.E.R.T.
chapter in the Village reminds
us to BE PREPARED. Television
weathermen constantly remind us
to BE PREPARED. These constant
reminders may raise our anxiety
levels, but it is vitally important that
we must be prepared for all largescale emergencies. Fortunately. the
Village has its back covered with the
American Red Cross.
It is comforting to know that the
American Red Cross Palm Beach
Chapter is located at 1250 North
Point Parkway just a few minutes
away from Century Village. The
Chapters
new
13,000-squarefoot building is a state of the art
regional center,volunteers and staff
working together to prepare for
and respond to all emergencies.
Originally located in a flood zone
on Fern Street, the Chapter moved
to avoid evacuating staff during
natural disasters. The sale of the old
building for $3.4 million provided
more than the required funding
for the purchase and renovation of
the new building. No donor dollars
were used for the new building.
Red Cross Headquarters dock
The American Red Cross Palm

Beaches-Treasure Coast area serves
the communities of Palm Beach,
Okeechobee, Martin, St. Lucie and
Indian River Counties. Its mission
statement is as follows: The
American Red Cross prevents and
alleviates human suffering in the
face of emergencies by mobilizing
the power of volunteers and the
generosity of donors. Volunteers
respond to disasters 24 hours a day/
seven days a week/365 days a year
providing shelter, food, clothing
and emotional support at no cost
to those in need. In fiscal year 2013,
they responded to 248 devastating
fires and other local disasters.
The Chapter also teaches
families and organizations how to
prepare for emergencies through
free educational presentations
and distribution of literature.
Volunteers are available to teach
lifesaving skills such as first aid,
CPR and water safety and to assist
children who must stay in Red Cross
shelters. Red Cross workers also
send emergency communications
to active-duty service members to
inform them of major life events
they would otherwise be unaware of
while serving our country.
County Commissioner, Vice Mayor, Paulette Burdick visiting the new Red
Cross Center
These services are all provided
thanks to a corps of 2,000 dedicated
volunteers and generosity of
donors. With sheer benevolence
and efficiency, the American Red
Cross invests an average of 91 cents
for every dollar into humanitarian
services and programs.
The centerpiece of the new
facility is its Disaster Operations
Center (DOC) where well-trained
staff and volunteers work together
during disasters to coordinate
services, support volunteer activities
and coordinate activities with
government partners. The DOC
is the hub of all operations--the
command center during largescale emergencies.
With the
resourcefulness of a war room, the
DOC is filled with cubicles glowing
and ringing with dozens of phones,
computers and monitors.
Each
cubicle manages specific duties
like supplies and procurement,
warehousing,
disaster/medical
supplies, staffing, etc.
All
expenditures, incoming data and
communication is received real-time
and continually updated by the

DOCs diligent staff.
Did you know that you can
download FREE Red Cross apps
on your iPhone and Android
Smartphone? These apps, alerting
you of hurricanes and tornadoes
with a loud tone, will include critical
information before, during and
after a disaster as well as provide
local shelter locations. To learn
more about Red Cross apps please

Independence Day July 4th

BY D O LO R E S C ARUSO
s you all know, this is

a holiday enjoyed and
celebrated by all Americans
throughout the country. But how
many know the background of this
date and how it is connected to the
Declaration of Independence? When
doing my research on this I found
that I, too, did not fully understand
some of the circumstances leading
up to July 4th and our Declaration.
July 4th was not the day when
the Continental Congress declared
independence. The date was really July
2nd, 1776. The American Revolution
was not started on that date either,
rather it was in April 1776 when it
began. Thomas Jefferson penned
the first draft of the Declaration of
Independence in June 1776 and it was
signed on August 2, 1776. It was not
sent to Great Britain until November
1776. Those are the real dates
surrounding this document and our
freedom from Britain.
The Declaration of Independence
was approved by the Continental
Congress
(after the draft was
submitted on July 2nd and finalized
with all changes) on July 4, 1776 with
that date being

included in the
document -- but
the
document
was not signed
until
August.
When
people
referred to the
Declaration of
Independence
they remembered
the date of July
4th within the
document.
P OI N T OF
IN TER EST:
We
celebrate
Constitution Day
on
September
17th every year
which was the date it was signed, not the
date approved. If we used the same idea
for the Declaration of Independence,
we would be celebrating Independence
Day on August 2nd which was the
actual date the Declaration was signed.
After the War of 1812, the Federalist
Party broke apart and the new parties
of Jefferson and the DemocraticRepublicans evolved. When Thomas
Jefferson
and
John
Adams
both died on
July 4, 1826, the
July 4th date
became
the
important date
to be celebrated.
In
1870,
approximately
100 years after
the Declaration
was
written,
C o n g r e s s
declared
July
4th a National
Holiday in a
bill which also
included certain
holidays
(this
is when Christmas was declared a
national holiday). And in 1939 and
1941, more legislation was passed
about many other national holidays.
Thus, Independence Day is
celebrated by families with picnics,
barbques baseball games and many
other activities. But I think the
activity most of us enjoy best is the
celebration with fireworks in many
cities and public parks.

People
seem to come together in unity and
patriotism when the first boom and
light-show takes center stage for
all to enjoy. I look back when I was
young. Our father and mother took
my sister Marge, brother Nick and
myself to Warinanco Park (which
centrally lies in the connecting of the
three (3) cities of Elizabeth, Linden
and Roselle in New Jersey) to sit on
a blanket and gaze up in awe at this
wondrous sight. The finale included
a ground display in fireworks in
the form of the American Flag with
the National Anthem being played
throughout the park absolutely
awesome !! These memories are still
alive and I definitely cant wait to
watch these rockets red glare go
off overhead celebrating our right
to freedom.
But remember, this
freedom and Independence did come
with a price that of our country
defending these rights.
So sit back, enjoy and celebrate
your July 4th in the way you freely
chose.
God bless and HAPPY FOURTH
OF JULY to all of you !!
Happy Birthday, Canada

BY M AR I LY N POM E R ANT Z
anada Day is a Federal

Holiday. On July 1st, 1867,
Canada became a selfgoverning dominion of Great Britain
and a federation of four provinces:
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
Ontario and Quebec. Canadians
commemorate the day with parades,
fireworks, cookouts and concerts.
The popularity of the holiday has
been on the incline since the late
1960s and has since become a
nationwide celebration.
On June 20th, 1868, Canadas
Governor General proclaimed that
Canadians should celebrate the
anniversary of the Confederation.
July 1st became a statutory holiday
known as Dominion Day in 1879;
however, no official celebrations
were held until the 50th anniversary
in 1917 and the 60th anniversary in
1927. After World War II, Dominion
Day was celebrated more frequently
and more events were organized by
the national government.
It was not until 1946 that Phileas
Cote, a member of the Quebec
House of Commons, sent a private
members bill to rename Dominion
Day as Canada Day. The Senate
responded by recommending the
holiday be named the National
Holiday of Canada. Since no one
could agree on the name, the bill

was defeated. The government first
recognized Canada Day in 1958
by holding a trooping of the color
on Parliament Hill in Ottawa,
Canada. The holiday continued to
grow in the late 1960s and many
Canada Day events were televised
and
broadcasted
throughout
the country. In the 1960s, the
government
began
funding
Canada Day activities in smaller
communities. After the centenary
of the Confederation in 1967,
Dominion Day events became more
widespread. The event promoted
nationalism and Canadian pride.
The holiday was finally made
official by a unanimous vote on

October 27th, 1982 -- the same year
that the Canada Act was passed thus
removing any remaining dependence
of Canada on the United Kingdom.
While the public had recognized the
holiday for decades, this marked a
significant change in the magnitude
of the celebrations. The date was
also officially known as Canada Day
from 1983 onward.
Since
2006
Canada
Day
celebrations were also held at
Londons Trafalgar Square in the
United Kingdom. It is expected that
these celebrations will be held just
before, on or just after July 1st.
In addition to independence
from
the
United
Kingdom,
Canada Day also marks a number
of revolutionary breakthroughs
and significant events. The first
national radio hookup was initiated
by the Canadian National Railway
on July 1st, 1927. The Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)
held their first cross-country
broadcast on Canada Day in
1958. The first color television
transmission in Canada was held on
July 1st of 1966. In 1967, the Order
of Canada was inaugurated. O
Canada was also named the official
national anthem on Canada Day in
1960.
The biggest celebration is held in
Ottawa, Ontario (Canadas capital).
The festival ends with a grand
finale of fireworks over Parliament
Hill. The Queen of England is
often in attendance. Canada Day is
celebrated in conjunction with the
United States Independence Day
during the International Freedom
Festival. Fireworks are shot off over
the Detroit River and residents of
Detroit, Michigan and Windsor,
Ontario come together in jointcelebration.
To all of our Canadians friends
and neighbors, we wish you a Happy
July 1st, 2014.
Another Hero Among Us

Over Father's Day weekend,
Dustin Acker waded into a Century
Village lake to save someone trapped
in her car.
There are no details as to what
caused the vehicle to plunge into
the lake, but as these photos show
Aker risked his own life to rescue the
driver in a perilous situation.
Aker is an employee of Signature
Real Estate Companies, and company
president Ben Schachter sent out an
email on Father's Day praising the
valiant effort:
Please help me thank our very
own Dustin Acker for saving a
womans life today! He really is a
TRUE HERO! While working at
Century Village West Palm Beach
this afternoon, a woman crashed
her car into a lake within the
community. Without any regard for
his own welfare and safety, Dustin
didnt think twice about putting the
strangers life before his own and
went right into the lake to rescue her
(even wearing his Signature Name
Tag)! Dustin, you are a model citizen
and someone that we should all be
looking up to today and every day
for the noble and professional way in

which you carry yourself! You are a
fantastic human being and someone
I feel fortunate to know! THANK
YOU FOR RESCUING THIS
VICTIM! Hats off to Dustin Acker
ladies and gentlemen!
Thanks to Ben Schachter for
sharing this story, and Dustin Aker
for providing a happy ending.

Snorkel
Club
by Sandy Wynn
Although at this time we are not
having regular meetings which are
on the third Friday of each month in
the Clubhouse at 10 A.M., we are still
very active. For the warm months,
we are now what one might call an
impromptu snorkel club. Whenever
a member will get an idea, our
communication system will kick in
and that means using either e-mails,
word of mouth or the telephone
buddy system. Our past president
John Odoardo is always obliging
with the knowledge of last minute

excursions. His telephone number is
561-478-9921.
The snorkelers are now home from
their week long trip. There was Lion
Fish, large Grouper and one large
Tarpin spotted in the clear water. We
had day trips on June 7th and June
10th. One on the invasion of the
Lion Fish and the other on Sea turtle
Research.
Pot Luck on Memorial Day at
the Somerset Pool was enjoyable
with good food, good weather and
excellent company. With July 4th
just around the corner, we're looking
forward to another great Pot Luck.
Hope to see you there.
Wishing all a marvelous summer.

Suggested Resolution on a Designated

Smoking Area Near Clubhouse
BY JOHN HESS
The following resolution was
submitted to WPRF Vice-President
Eva Rachesky by resident John Hess
who attended the long and arduous
discussion at the recent Operations
meeting on a designated smoking
area at the clubhouse. John said
he and wife are former smokers.
He offered this resolution as,
something to build on. Johns
suggestion in this resolution is to
have the smoking area between
the shuff leboard courts and
Duck Island. He also said there
is a website nosmoking.org that
has many helpful suggestions on
smoking regulations. This subject
was also discussed at the recent
Officers meeting. Read on for more
comments from our residents on
a suitable smoking location and
what if any consequences should
be imposed if these regulations are
not observed.
RESOLUTION: Revise No Smoking
Policy
BACKGROUND: Due to recent
complaints and the health concerns
arising from exposure to tobacco
smoke around the entrance to the
clubhouse, it was determined that
the smoking area should not be near
the entrances, bus loading zone,or
anywhere
non-smokers/residents/
visitors have to pass by to enter the
Clubhouse.
ISSUE: WPRF/UCO to establish a

new policy to describe in detail, leaving
nothing for misinterpretation, the
policies and restrictions regarding
smoking outside the Clubhouse.
GOAL:
Relocate
designated
smoking area to provide a smoke-free
environment for all residents and
visitors entering the clubhouse.
Definition
Century Village Clubhouse
No Smoking Policy:
NO SMOKING INSIDE
CLUBHOUSE
NO CIGAR SMOKING
ALLOWED ON PREMISES
CIGARETTE SMOKING AND
SMOKELESS TOBACCO
ALLOWED IN DESIGNATED
SMOKING AREA at north end of
Clubhouse
BUTTS, WRAPPERS, ETC.
DISPOSED OF PROPERLY
NO SMOKING ALLOWED
NEAR PORTICO/COLONADE
ENTRANCE , BUS LOADING
ZONE AND WALKWAYS
WPRF
will
attempt
to
strategically locate No Smoking
signs as a reminder to people of
the policies stated within this
resolution.
Due to aesthetic
reasons, the number of signs will
be limited, and just because a sign
may not be placed in a certain area,

it does not mean that smoking is
permitted in that area.
If someone should have the need
and/or desire to smoke while at the
Clubhouse, they must do so in the
Designated Smoking Area which
is located at the north side of the
Clubhouse, at least twenty-five
feet from Clubhouse. All wrappers,
containers and butts must be
disposed of properly.
This policy covers the smoking
of any cigarettes and the use of
smokeless (or spit) tobacco in
designated smoking areas outside
the building. CIGAR SMOKING IS
PROHIBITED.
There will be a need to educate
and reinforce the new smoking
restrictions of the clubhouse.
WPRF/UCO has committed
itself to a smoke-free
environment
for
the
residents,
and
is
prepared to enforce
its smoking policy
unconditionally.
Comments
and
Suggestions
from
Century
Village
Residents
*I have no objections
to people smoking at
the clubhouse, but I feel
they should only do it in the
designated area. But if they dont

adhere to the rule, they should have
their pass pulled after a proper
warning. Maybe they could move
the present area to the other side
of the building entrance. That
way they will not be where the bus
passengers are. But they do need
some kind of an overhang in case of
bad weather. I feel anyone has the
right to smoke.
Why not put a sign at the
entrance to the island, no smoking
beyond this point.
I think the present location is
suitable. If theres a change I like
the idea of the gazebo that was
suggested by Eva Rachesky.

8 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
1 cups Mayonnaise
2 tblsp. Fresh Lemon juice
1 tblsp. Dijon Mustard
1 tblsp. Chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground Pepper
3 Celery stalks, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cups finely Chopped Vidalia onion
3 Scallions, thinly sliced
6 Hard-boiled large Eggs, chopped
Scotts Rib Steaks

BY SCOT T ZICC ARDY
3 (4 lb. slabs) pork spare ribs St. Louis style-cut (trimmed, fat ends)
4 tsps. Paprika
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tsps. Cumin
1 tbsp. plus 2 tsps. Kosher salt
1 tsp. white pepper
4 tsps. Chili powder
tsp. cayenne pepper
4 tsps. Garlic powder
tsp. ground cloves
4 tsps. Onion powder
Preheat oven to 275.
Begin by trimming the ribs of any excess fat or sinew. Remove the thin
membrane from the back of the ribs and discard. Make the rub by combining
the brown sugar, salt, chili powder, garlic and onion powder, paprika, cumin,
white and cayenne pepper and cloves in a mixing bowl.
Set out a few large sheets of foil (one set for each slab). Place 1 rack on each
sheet and divide the dry rib between each slab. Rub the mixture into the ribs
on both side, and then fold the foil over to form a sealed pouch around each
rack. At this stage, make sure the racks are meat-side down. Place each pouch
on a roasting tray and bake in the oven for 2 hours.
Put potatoes in a large pot of salted water.

Bring to a boil.
Cook until just tender, 20 25 minutes. Drain; let cool.
Stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard and dill.
Season with salt and pepper.
Peel potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks.
Fold into mayonnaise mixture.
Fold in celery, onion, scallions and eggs
(reserving some scallions for garnish).
Refrigerate covered until ready to serve. SERVES 8
After 2 hours open up the foil and peel back so the ribs are exposed. Carefully
turn the meat over so the meat side is on top.
Brush the top and bottom of the racks with a generous amount of Root Beer
BBQ Sauce (recipe follows). Brush the second rack with Firecracker BBQ
sauce (recipe at usaweekend.com) and the final rack with Guys Bourbon
Brown Sugar BBQ sauce (available at foodnetworkstore.com) or use Root
Beer sauce on all three. Cook racks for 1 more hours with the open foil.
When done, the ribs will be tender and the meat will have shrunk back from
the bones. Remove from oven, cut into portions, and serve with extra BBQ
Yield 8 servings

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS FROM THE ENTIRE UCO REPORTER STAFF
How We Celebrated The Fourth

AN ILLEGAL TRADITION IN DEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS THAT LASTED FOR YEARS
BY LANNY HOWE
I grew up in Dedham, Mass., one
of the oldest towns in the United
States. Dedham had the first free
(taxpayer-funded) public school in
America and the first canal built
in the US (Mother Brook, it was
called, connecting the Charles and
Neponset rivers). The Fairbanks
House, oldest wooden frame house in
America, built in 1636, still stands at
the corner of East Street and Whiting
Avenue.
When I lived there, the town
celebrated Flag Day and Memorial
Day, but never celebrated July 4
except for a strictly illegal celebration
in Oakdale Square, which was within
a block and a half of our home.
The Burning of the

Wagons
Every year, usually late in the
evening of July 3, there was a
bonfire in the middle of Oakdale
Square. Hundreds of people
would ring the square waiting
for the neighborhood bad boys
to roll in wooden wagons full of
combustibles, which they had
set afire just before reaching the
square. The wagons came in one
Almost all the wagons had been

stolen from farms in the outlying
parts of town or in other towns.
They were usually stolen months
before the Fourth and usually in
the dead of night.
by one, on one of the several roads
leading into the square like spokes
of a wheel. You never knew where
the next wagon would enter from,
or exactly when.
It was all illegal. Almost all the
wagons had been stolen from farms
in the outlying parts of town or
in other towns. They were usually
stolen months before the Fourth

and usually in the dead of night.
The boys would have each theft
carefully planned ahead of time,
know where they were going to hide
the wagon, and know the route on
which they would move it. They
often had lookouts in cars in front
of and behind the wagon. If the
cops came, they would scatter.
There were police in Oakdale
Square, but they essentially only
kept order and winked at the
goings-on. It would have been
difficult for them to stop wagons
rolling into the square because they
were well doused with kerosene
beforehand and set on fire while on
one of the streets
approaching
the
square.
Overhanging
tree
branches
might
catch
on fire and the
fire spread to
homes. It was
an exciting time
because of the
big bonfire in the
square, but also
because it was a
mystery
where
the next wagon would come rolling

in from, and because of the sheer
underhandedness of it all.
My Brothers Narrow
Escape
The tradition began in the
1930s, I believe, before my time,
and continued until well after I had
left Dedham in the mid-sixties. My
youngest brother got involved one
year. He and several others planned
to steal a small wooden railroad
car from the Readville train car
shops, about two miles away, and
roll it into the square. The plan,
which would surely have failed,
never got off the ground, for the
railroad police caught them in the
act, pursued them, and even shot at
them. They barely escaped.
Not long after this, the town
police clamped down and put an
end to the tradition. It had got
too out of hand. The plate glass
windows of stores surrounding the
square were cracking from the heat.
Who knew what would happen
next?
So ended an illegal but exciting
tradition. Fortunately, nobody ever
got hurt.

TRANSPORTATION SECURITY
BY LORI TORRES
This article is very

important with
new information
and changes in
the bus schedule.
The three (3)
internal
buses
and the Publix bus have been going
to Publix for a total of 42 times a day,
sometimes with as little as two (2) or
(3) passengers. At the transportation
meeting, the committee voted to
change the routes for the summer.
This change will only apply for
the month of July; it will change in
August. The regular Publix bus will
continue the regular route. Internal
bus #1 will be the only other internal
bus going to Publix. It will maintain
the regular morning and afternoon
trips and three (3) runs in the evening
at 6:35, 7:35 with the last pickup at
BY ED BLACK
8:35.pm.
Some of the drivers were letting
riders off at stops not on the schedule.
DJ restaurant and the casino next
store were one of these places. This
will no longer continue since they are
not on the schedule as designated
stops.
I have had many, many requests
to visit the new Outlet Mall at Palm
Beach Lakes Blvd. and it was added
to the mall route on Friday. We were
expecting a large turnout but were
surprised when 13 riders actually
went.
I received other complaints about
removing the Goodwill Store from
the mall bus. it will return everyday
but Friday. Please attend our monthly
meetings on the second Tuesday to
voice your opinions and ideas.
We have been
quite
satisfied
with the new
Bar Code Decal
System. We have
installed
some
1,200 so far and
have
received
no complaints. Monday through
Thursday, a team from our Security
Committee are on site to put decals
on those who apply for one. Please
take advantage of this opportunity
to obtain a new Decal at your earliest
convenience.
It is easy to apply. Bring your
current vehicle, vehicle registration,
your CV ID card and $ 5.00 and, after
you have registered, we will put on
your Decal. We place the Decal on
the passenger side rear window
and we even wash your rear window
first.
The time that you save now will

eliminate delays when the obsolete
Transponder Equipment is damaged
during storms. Currently, the
equipment we are using for that lane
is used and becoming less available
to replace. Please encourage everyone
in your Association to complete
this upgrade to the Bar Code Decal
System as soon as possible we can
handle 100 vehicles Monday through
Thursday on an on demand basis
meaning you just have to come in
to apply.
Please dont wait get yours this
month.
Special Appointments are available
for those that are unable to obtain
the Decal during UCOs normal
business hours. An appointment may
be made by phone at the UCO office
(561) 683-9189.
LEGAL
BY MARK D. FRIEDMAN, ESQ.
Should committee meetings in a
condominium be open or closed?
There is often a lot of confusion
about how to handle committee
meetings. The confusion is due in
part to how the Condominium Act
addresses this issue. The Statute
provides that meetings of a committee
to take final action on behalf of the
board or make recommendations to
the board regarding the association
budget are required to be noticed in
the same manner as Board meetings
and be open to the Unit owners. All
other meetings must also be open
and noticed unless the Bylaws exempt
such meetings. Therefore, the Bylaws
can be amended to close all other
types of meetings. However, even if
you have not amended your bylaws,
a board meeting or a committee
meeting (such as a legal committee)
can be closed if it is a meeting with the
associations attorney, with respect
to proposed or pending litigation, if
the meeting is held for the purpose
of seeking or rendering legal advice;
or a meeting held for the purpose of
discussing personnel matters.

When is a resignation effective?

This is actually covered by Chapter
617, Florida Statutes, which is the
Florida Not-for-profit Corporation
Act. The statute provides that
a director may resign at any time
by delivering written notice to the
Board of Directors or its chair or to
the corporation. A resignation is
effective when the notice is delivered
unless the notice specified a later
effective date. If a resignation is made
effective at a later date, the board
of directors may fill the pending
vacancy before the effective date if
the board of directors provides that
the successor does not take office
until the effective date. Therefore, if

a Board member posts a resignation
on the bulletin board or hands a
resignation notice to the Board, it
is immediately effective unless a
later date is indicated. The statute
has no provision for rescinding
the resignation and there is no
requirement for a Board meeting to
accept the resignation. The only way
for a director who resigned to return
to the Board would be through
election at the next annual meeting
or to have the remaining Board
members re-appoint the resignee.
What are the actual requirements
attending Board meetings via
speakerphone?
Section 718.112(2)(b)(5), Florida
Statutes, provides, that if any of the
board or committee members meet by
telephone conference, those board or
committee members may be counted
toward obtaining a quorum and
may vote by telephone. A telephone
speaker must be used so that the
conversation of those members may
be heard by the board or committee
members attending in person as well
as by any unit owners present at a
meeting. That means that you must
properly notice a meeting and have a
location where the meeting is being
held. The speaker phone must be
appropriate to the venue so that the
conversation can be heard by those in
the room.

A Volunteer in New York City Parks

BY BETH BAKER PHOTOS BY BETH BAKER
Do you miss caring for your lawn?
Do you miss pruning trees and
bushes? A great solution is a Sierra
Club Work trip available across the
country. My friend, Barbara Seide,
and I just returned from New York
City where we cleaned, weeded,
pruned and cut out invasive species.
Since the funding for the NY City
Parks has decreased, the Riverside
Park District welcomes volunteers
from the neighborhood, corporations
and non-profits willing to assist
them. They supply the supervision,
instructions and the tools, and are
grateful for any volunteers.
Accommodations are in clean,
comfortable dormitory rooms at
the International Youth Hostel
on Manhattans Upper West side,
convenient to many subway lines.
Trips begin with Sunday dinner
on the first day, and conclude the
following Sunday with breakfast.
For those who wished, one coleader gets us evening deals. For
$247 we saw the three-act La Bayadere
by the American Ballet Theatre with
full orchestra in the Metropolitan
Opera House in Lincoln Center; and
three plays: the musical Pippin with
its acrobatic actors; the Irish comedy
The Cripple of Inishmaan (starring
Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter
the American Museum of Natural

History.
You do not need to wait until next
May as the October Sierra Club trip
has openings for New York's largest
park, Pelham Bay Park, including
a tour of its Greek Revival BartowPell mansion, a national historic
landmark. For information on my
trip or the Sierra Club, you can check
its website or call me, Beth 684-3166.
Sierra Club volunteers gather to clean Riverside Park in New York City.

autobiography of Moss Hart, Act One,
starring Tony Shalhoub, which had
the most involved circular staging
that I have ever seen. As the play
progressed, the stage rotated among
a two story tenement with a depth
of three rooms with doorways on
each side, to offices, and to a finely
decorated two story mansion with
interior stairway. Wanting to see
one more Broadway show, I skipped
the final dinner to see Casa Valentina,
by Harvey Fierstein, where men who
like to dress as women go to a rundown bungalow colony in New Yorks
Catskill Mountains.
Barbara and I also squeezed
in Shabbat services at Central
Synagogue,
Brooklyn
Museum
and Gardens (Ai Wei Wei, Chinese
dissident artist, and Judy Chicagos
plates were highlights), the Tenement
Museum (shop tour), and the New
York Historical Society, before the
Sierra Club trip began. We took the
subway out to the Cloisters with its
intensive gardens and monastery
before proceeding to the vast
Metropolitan Museum.
On our
last day, a nostalgic trip for Barbara,
we walked along Central Park to

Once Upon a Time WPRF NEWS

A Fairy Tale Run Amok
BY LANNY HOWE
The Act II Community Theater Is

Cooking Up a Great Show
Last night I sat in on the second
rehearsal of the Act II Community
Theaters new show, which promises
to be a doozy. Its called Once Upon a
Time, with the subtitle A Fairy Tale
Run Amok. You are going to see a
king, a queen, princes and maybe
even a fairy godmother in this
productionand some hilarious
confusion.
There was plenty of confusion
and hilarity last night as I watched
their second rehearsal. The king
and queen were on a cruise so they
couldnt play their own parts, and
two princes were on vacation. Not
to be denied, director Kitty Gragg
had large name-tag signs made
up for the characters, which they
hung around their necks. Some had
to play the part of more than one
character because of the summer
absences.
The rehearsal was a mixture
of laughter and effort. Youre
supposed to be demented! Kitty
told two of the players. The play is
in three acts, and there will be many
surprises. The cast is hoping for one
big surprise at the end, the details to
be worked out.
Once Upon a Time will be performed
in probably late November or
December, after a good number of
our snowbirds are back. In October
there will be a By Invitation Only
performance, on the order of a dress
rehearsal.
Andgood news! Once Upon a Time
will be performed in Classroom C in
the Clubhouse, not tiny Classroom
B, so hopefully nobody will have to
be turned away.
Stay tuned!

Dear Residents,
An issue that remains a constant
problem is that of the dress code for
shows in the theater as well as the
Saturday night dance.
Although there exists a basic
dress code, I find I am having to
tweak it from time to time. Recently,
as a result of numerous complaints
from your fellow residents, I agreed
that HATs would be considered
inappropriate to wear to shows
and dances. What I neglected to
take into consideration were those
residents who are battling a serious
illness and have lost their hair as a
result. The Ushers are doing their
best to help everyone observe the
rules while being sensitive to those
fighting serious illnesses. When
you run into someone with a head
covering at these events, please be
compassionate in your thoughts.
Thank you for your understanding.
A reminder to all residents
bringing guests to the clubhouse:
It is your responsibility to apprise

your guest(s) of the dress code. I
have heard of several instances
where guests have been sent
home because they were dressed
inappropriately.
I am pleased to announce that
our Pickle Ball courts have been
completed. Please stop by the Class/
Ticket Office and speak to Kristy.
WPRF has resident volunteers who
are available to teach Pickle Ball as
well as provide a Rules handout.
You will need to bring your own
paddle and ball.
Bids for both the renovation
of the Southampton Pool area
and ADA ramps at the Hastings
Clubhouse have been turned over
to the Bid Committee for their
consideration as to which vendor
they will recommend to your
Operations Committee. These jobs
should commence in the month of
July.
I would like to remind everyone
of the 4th of July Party being hosted
by WPRF and Mister Karaoke, a/k/a
Jack Kasden, at the Guest pool. I
will be adding additional tables
and chairs to the pool deck in order
to accommodate a larger number
of residents. Please remember to
party responsibly.
NO GLASS
CONTAINERS allowed on the pool
deck. A Happy and Safe 4TH of July
to all.

BY LENORE VELCOFF
Thank
you,
Justice
Sotomayor, for sharing your
wonderful life story in My
Beloved World.
This is a remarkable
person, learning to give
herself injections at the age
of nine when diagnosed
with juvenile diabetes;
learning to ask others for
information
when
she
did not know it, like how
to study; learning how
to think critically and to
debate in public by joining
the forensics team in high
school and learning about

the Ivy League and choosing
Princeton.
It is an honest account
of Sonia Sotomayors life
as a girl in the Bronx,
and continues all the way
until she earns her federal
judgeship.
Particularly
compelling are her tales of
intellectual development,
discipline,
sacrifice,
developing
confidence,
fighting against odds and
especially against fear.
It was actually an easy
read not what I expected

from a bio of a judge at all.
(Thats a compliment). It is
written in a very charming
way, person to person, not
from a didactic height as I
might have expected. What

came over very clearly are
her very human qualities.
She never forgets where she
came from, no matter how
high she has risen.
Her stories are full
of rich detail with deep
relationships. With such
tough obstacles to overcome
- an alcoholic father, living
in the Bronx in tough timesyou wonder how she would
have a success story.
Affirmative
Action
helped her get into the
Ivy League and she is a

superb example of how it is
supposed to work. It's not
about giving unqualified
people a desired spot but
making sure all of the
qualified are considered.
She is a role model in many
ways
This is one of the best
memoirs I have ever read. It
is also the most inspiring.
This is one unique human
being. She has a spirit, a
soul of a survivor and is a
champion.

Have You Seen Your Channel 63 Lately?

How It Started, How Its Different Now, and What The Future May Hold
BY LANNY HOWE
ID YOU KNOW that

Channel 63 on your television
screen is different from any
other channel? Its our own Century
Village community channel, legally
required of Comcast to be given
to us as a part of our overall cable
TV contract. Its purpose is to be a
Community Bulletin Board (CBB),
but we can do with it essentially as we
please.
Minds were at work, however, to see

if this could be changed. Hoping
to make better use of the channel,
last September Dave Israel asked
for volunteers, and the Channel 63
Expansion Committee was formed.
Ed Black chairs the committee, and
Joy Vestal is the UCO vice presidential
overseer. Kitty & John Gragg, of Act
II Community Theater fame, have
taken the lead in producing the new
features now shown at certain times
of the day on 63.
Here are some of them with their
times.
Before Comcast
In the mid-summer of 1995,
UCO signed a contract with TeleMedia cable TV, which provided for a
Community Bulletin Board (CBB)
channel. It was channel 12. Later, we
signed on with Adelphia, which in
late 2001 changed the lineup, making
63 the CBD channel. The Channel 63
The Century Village we live

in...would not exist were it
not for the enormous amount
of volunteer work... This has
certainly been true of those who
kept Channel 63 going during
these past years.
program consisted of typed notices
pertinent to the Village, which
scrolled by, one after another on the
screenvery similar to what you see
now much of the time. There was
often no particular order to them.
The run might last 20 minutes
or more, and then it was repeated.
Larry Kall, a Village resident now
deceased, supplied Adelphia with the
constantly changing information,
and technicians at the Adelphia
office did the computer data-entry
work.
In 1998, Adelphia requested that
we do more of the work ourselves

and arranged for their equipment

to be kept in a small WPRF storage
room off the Clubhouse Sewing
Room. Busy with infrastructure and
other Village responsibilities, Larry
soon turned the job, including the
computer data-entry typing, over to
the newly formed Computer Club,
headed up by Howie Silver, Lenny
Thompson (now deceased) and
Sadie Loventry. The Computer Club
ran our Channel 63 operations for
several years.
In 2007, Ed Black at first singlehandedly took over Channel 63

operations. Three changes he made
were to reduce the overall scrolling
time while increasing the time an
individual notice was displayed, and
to group the notices by type (club
information, events, UCO notices,
general information, etc.). He later
arranged for WPRF to do a good part
of the data-entry work.
Equipment Destroyed in
Hurricane Frances
In a deal with Time Warner

Cable in 2005, Comcast bought out
Adelphia, which had gone bankrupt,
and so became our cable TV provider.
With our contract due to expire in
late 2009, our Cable TV Committee,
chaired by Dave Israel, hired an
agency to help find the best new deal Larry Kall

were considered, including Comcast. Laugh-On a takeoff on the old

equipment not damaged beyond
repair (least of our worries at the
time) was moved to a trailer, where
it either suffered further damage or
was stolen. Replacement equipment
was paid for partly by Adelphia and
partly by us.

just getting underway.
DAILY AT 7:30 P.M. FOR ABOUT
20 MINUTES:
Sports talk the Sam and Cam
Show. Hear Sam Milham and
Professor Jerry Cammy (two
knowledgeable and ardent fans
who dont always agree!) and
sometimes a guest or two discuss
football, baseball, basketball,
hockey and other sports. Sam also
has a monthly column in the UCO
Reporter.
Another addition to 63 is a screen
crawler. A moving stripe across
the bottom of the TV screen, which
usually gives the local weather, can
be used for other matters such as
a boil-water alert.
The above changes have already
made channel 63 a lot more

interesting. Whereas I used to channel
surf right by it, now I find myself
stopping to check whats showing
on 63. I watched some of the Sam
and Cam sports program the other
evening. I like to see them go at it. I
havent seen it yet, but I understand
Sam talked sports with Joy Vestal
recently. That newspaperwoman
can hold her own when it comes to
sports! And I saw two very interesting
interviews by Roberta Hofmann:
one of Phyllis Frishberg, who told
about going to Israel 16 times (!) as a
volunteer in the Israeli army, and the
other an interview of the entire Act II
Community Theater group.
The FutureThree Hurdles

To Be Overcome:
1. THE SOUND NEEDS TO BE
FIXED. The sound on Channel
63 is terrible. We need a Comcast
engineer to see this for himself
and tell us what is needed. It may
well be new equipment. Strangely,
the sound is okay when listened
BY
he other night I was

listening to the music of
Fiddler on the Roof. When
the song Tradition, Tradition was
being played, I began to pay close
attention to the lyrics. Slowly, I
began to absorb the words. Slowly
I found that I was connecting to
the message and the meaning that
these brilliant lyrics were conveying
to me.
For those who need a refresher, the
first stanza of the song goes like this:
Who, day and night, must

scramble for a living.
Feed a wife and children, say his
daily prayers?
And who has the right, as master
of the house,
To have the final word at home?
We are a nation of diversity, each
group has their own cherished
traditions. What we have in common
is that we are all Americans.
S T E WA R T
The first two lines certainly

describe my life, and I bet so many
of my contemporaries. I am not
conceited enough or have the courage
to categorically say that the last two
stanzas represent my role as the
head of the house. Most men in
my age group will agree that there
is a high power in play here. It is
she who must be obeyed! When
we accept this reality, life becomes a
bed of roses; if not, life can become
a bed of thorns.
I am a traditionalist. I think that
most of our residents view the world
pretty much the same way. When we
talk about change, what really makes
it tough for people our age is on the
one hand youve got tradition, and on
the other hand youve got change. In
most peoples minds, change equals
modernization. I am not attacking
progress, its the future. However, I
am a big tradition guy.
I watch sports. Mostly football.
Tradition dictates that at the
beginning of each game the national
anthem is sung. What is trendy
today is to hire some rock-and-roll

them go at it.
to at the Comcast office, and it is
okay when you listen online on
your computer. Its only bad on
your TV. It will be pointless to
make many other improvements
without getting this fixed. The
picture quality could be better, but
the sound problem is our biggest
obstacle.
2. MORE INVOLVEMENT AND
MORE CHANGES IN THE
PROGRAMS. We need more
involved people, perhaps three
times the number we have now,
says Kitty Gragg, so the shows
can be changed more often. Now

the same show often runs for
a month. Happily, there is a lot
of talent among our residents,
and volunteers are now stepping
forward. Maybe you can help!
3. BETTER QUARTERS, so it
doesnt take an hour to move stuff
to the music room and set up, and
then an hour or more afterward
to dismantle everything and store
it in various places. The Channel
63 Expansion Committee is
looking now into using a portion
of the UCO Reporter office for this
purpose.
So Tune In!
Thats a short history of Century
Villages community TV channel, an
update to where we are now, and a
look into the future. You are invited
to tune in to the new channel 63! And
if you would like to be involved, just
speak to someone on the Channel 63
Expansion Committee.
Try it, youll like it!
R I C H L A N D
or pop screamer, to sing the anthem.
I sit there cringing when these
performers entertain the viewers with
a mutilated disorganized rendition
of our nations symbol of freedom.
I can still hear opera singer Robert
Merrill providing the fans with such
a powerful rendition of the National
Anthem, that all those in attendance
began to sing with him and when he
was finished, you felt proud to be an
American.
For those of us that enjoy hockey,
when an American team went to play
in Canada at all the Montreal games,
Roger Doucet, the great tenor,
sang both the American National
Anthem and followed it by a thrilling
rendition of Oh Canada. His
rendition was so powerful, you sense
how the audience was captured by
his performance. No one sat, no one
talked, they just sang along. This is
tradition. I miss it.
Kate Smith first sang Irving
Berlins God Bless America at an
Armistice Day ceremony in 1938. It
became her signature song. The first
few lines go like this:
While the storm clouds gather all

across the sea,
Let us pledge allegiance to a land
that is free!
No one did it better! Thats
tradition.
I urge all my readers to go to
Youtube and listen to Red Skeltons
reading of the Pledge of Allegiance
(1969). He really explains the
meaning of the Pledge by explaining
each word as it should be understood
and remembered. This is tradition.
As a teacher, I witness on a daily
basis how our young Americans
recite the pledge. Casually, by rote,
that is if they recite it at all, words
that have little or no connection to
their lifestyle. This is not tradition.
This is ugly.
As a native of Brooklyn, and a
deli aficionado, you always have
your frank with mustard and warm
sauerkraut. Thats a tradition.
To my contemporaries: MAY THE
TRADITION BE WITH YOU!

Get Ready, Get Going,

Get Set for Summer!
BY MARIA TENNARIELLO
Stress? Is what they call it these
days? Perhaps that is exactly what it
iswe dont know what to do next.
Clean the house, go food shopping,
go to the Palm Beach Outlet Center
or maybe to the gym in the village
for some exercise, Yoga class for peace
and meditation or just take a long
walk on a short pier! After checking
my sources for ways to relieve stress, I
came up with the answer that works
for me every single time. Get Spa-ing
yes, get yourself to a Day Spa or salon
and let the good times roll!
One of my favorite day spas is the
perfect choice for all of the above and
more. The Style Bar Day Spa & Salon
is an award-winning Spa owned by
Perri and Ira Gurfein that served the
Hamptons, Long Island community
for almost 20 years. For the past three
(3) years, it has been sitting pretty in
Suite 108 at the Bank United Building,
2875 South Ocean Boulevard in
Palm Beach. The minute you walk
through the door, you feel the calm
environment that immediately takes
you to another level. The very large,
open space is inviting with comfy
couches and chairs, three (3) large
massage rooms, a juice bar and roomy
workstations. After spending almost
15 years as one of their clients in Sag
Harbor, I am so happy to be able to
continue my beauty treatments here
in nearby Palm Beach.
Lets go to the Facial Bar. Beautiful
skin is a matter of choice, not
chance. The Style Bar offers over
20 different specialty facials, so sit
back and allow one of their experts
customize a treatment that will
enhance, protect and renew. Just to
name a few, the Fully Loaded Facial
is 90 minutes and includes a deep
cleansing fruit acid exfoliate, an agefighting collagen serum, extractions,
micro-dermabrasion, a custom mask

for your personal skin type, followed
by a collagen ampoule and a blast
of oxygen spray. Wow! The Stylish
European facial takes you on a road
to healthy and glowing skin. Your
skin is pampered to perfections with
steam; massage light extraction and
a customized mask. The Gentlemans
Facial is a special treatment designed
for mens needs. Microdermabrasion
clarifies your complexion and
restores your skins radiance with the
exfoliating power of micro-crystal
technology. Vitamin C Masque helps
firm and repair all skin types and is
great for sun-damaged skin.
Enter the Body Shop: lets not neglect
the rest of the body and let the experts
help you relax, detoxify and revitalize
from head to toe with a combination
of nine (9) body treatments that will
heal your soul. I love the Therapeutic
Massage, which is deep tissue and
focuses on specific areas of soreness.
Hot Stone is an amazing way to let
the warming heat of basalt stones
that melt your stressful tensions
away. These smooth black stones
detoxify tissues, balance energy and

relax muscle tension(Ill take two of
these). Other special services include
the Waxing Bar with a list of to-dos. The
Hair Bar offers hair color, treatments
as well as the famous Malibu Hair
Treatment which removes mineral
deposits and chlorine from your
hair. The Wedding Bar, Make-up Bar
are special services that are offered
by appointment only. The Mani and
Pedi Bar offer a medley of services
for ladies, men and young girls. Also
available is the full or half day spa
escapes, special events such as spa
parties, corporate events, bachelorette
spa parties, bridal showers and so
much more. The staff is always ready,

mineral pools inspired by old-world

spa therapies. The Waters of the World
pools are almost like aqueous islands,
scattered among the grounds and
palm trees. Two of the worlds oldest
and most coveted natural remedies
infuse the waters. Dead Sea salt from
Israel is used to detoxify the skin.
The pools are the centerpieces of the
Spa at PGAs internationally inspired
treatment menu, which reads like a
history of old-world spa therapies.
The spa also houses a salon where
stylists perform haircuts, glazing and
keratin treatments, not to mention
the selection of mens services that
include facials for golfers experiencing
red skin as a result of the hot rays from
the sun. There are many spa packages
offered so treat yourself to one of
them. For additional information and

S E R V I C E S
CHANNEL 63
by Nicolas Ma
With
cameras
rolling,
lights
shining,
and
microphones
ready,
the
volu nteers
of Channel 63 hope to debut
some major improvements to
broadcasting in the Village. In
the coming months, the Villages
broadcasters hope to provide
viewers with more than comedic
sketches, delegate assemblies, and
club announcements.
Currently, shooting for Channel
63 is a hassle. The production
equipment
from
Comcast
is
outdated, and moving, assembling,
and disassembling such equipment
to and from the Clubhouses music
room requires much time and manual
labor. UCO, along with devoted
volunteers of Channel 63, seeks to
upgrade equipment from Comcast in
both production and broadcasting.
Members of UCO and Channel 63
are trying to communicate with
Comcast specialists to address audio
and video deficiencies from archaic
production technology.
Another proposal from Channel
63 volunteers John and Kitty Gragg
is relocating shooting into the
UCO Reporter Office. In lieu of
struggling to move in and out the
Clubhouse, the producers of Channel
63 can settle comfortably into part
of the Reporter Office as a fully-
functioning studio with all necessary

equipment. Budget-wise, the project
will cost under $1,000, though some
additional costs are possible with
expenditures under WPRFs terms.
The Reporter staff is happy to share
half the room with Channel 63-in
fact, as Channel 63 expands into
production of news reports, the
jointly-own office could become the
UCO Communications building.
Channel 63 also seeks to expand
the variety of programs it will
broadcast to the Village. However,
without the proper updated
equipment, background noise and
imperfect footage will mar videos
of meetings, events and assemblies.
With universal Wi-Fi moving
forth, Channel 63 will join in on
the great technological strides the
Village is making in the coming
months. With at least 60 volunteers
answering the call to arms, modern
telecommunications has the chance
to blossom within this community.
SAFETY
by George Franklin
Hi folks, I hope
everyone is enjoying
the Summer Season
so far. Im going to
briefly touch on the
hurricane season as
well as some other issues.
I hope all of you have your supplies
ready in case of that "Big One"
hitting us. Keep them where you can
get at them easily. Fresh Batteries for
that flashlight? Remember where you

put it? Laid in some canned goods?
Maybe some bottled water? Never
know what can happen. How about
a battery-operated fan? If the electric
goes out, you will be glad you have
one.
How about your building? is it
ready? Have you had your property
management people go over
everything? Check to be sure NO
trees are up against the building or
are leaning in that direction? Roof
air conditioners secure? When the
weather bureau tells you the storm
is on the way, have you placed your
recycle bins some place secure? And
have you removed any objects that
can become flying objects? Such as,
but not limited to, flower pots lawn
or lounge chairs?
If you read this, thinking about
what I have written, you will think
about other items and things to
do also. What about medications?
Have a good supply of them in
case? Another thing speaking of
medications -- are you aware of meds
that you may NOT be able to take
and, more importantly, does your
DOCTOR know what you can take
or not in combination with other
meds you are on? Yours truly just
got out of the hospital because of a
medication I could not handle. I had
internal bleeding and was Anemic
and on and on. Be sure to tell your
doctor when prescribing a new med if
you have had it before and if you can
handle it or not -- very important!
Also along this same area regarding
drugs: do you have them out of view
and put away when visitors arrive? A
lot of meds are on the street because
they are STOLEN from residences.

The drug dealers pay a lot of money
for stolen meds. They should be put
away when grandchildren or other
young family members visit. As you
know, youngsters can get into a lot
of things they should not be getting
into. If you have any prescription
concerns, please call me at the UCO
Office and I will be glad to help you
with information you may need to
know.
One last thing the July 4th
holiday is fast approaching and just
a reminder that as adults we should
LEAVE THE FIREWORKS TO THE
PROFESSIONALS! We don't need
Century Village being blown up or
burned down because of someone
being careless. Have fun, go to the
city displays--they all have them-or you CAN watch from right here
. Just look to the North, South and
East sky for the city displays which
usually start about 9:00 P.M. weather
permitting. Watch the news on
television or the newspaper for times
and places.
In closing, have a HAPPY
HOLIDAY Be safe And secure out
there!
WI-FI
by Anitra Kraus
At the last WiFi meeting, a list
of the vendors
that the RFP
was sent to was
distributed
by
David Israel. He emphasized that
Inexpensive Water Detector Alarms May Help

Prevent Major Flood Damage in Your Condo
These battery operated water detector alarms are priced below $20 at home improvement and hardware stores. Situate them near water heaters,
and replace batteries as often as recommended by product manufacturer.
S E R V I C E S
no one should contact any of these
vendors and discuss the process or
give suggestions. That is considered
bid rigging and is a federal offense.
Questions were asked as to
the need for a server to get on the
internet. It was noted that there
could possibly be a need for a
router/repeater due to the steel and
concrete that is laid between the
units and f loors. You will not need a
service provider such as Comcast or
AT&T for the actual internet as the
Wi-Fi system will be the provider.
If you are using a provide-based
internet e-mail such as AOL, BellSouth, Comcast. etc., then you will
need to get a web-based e-mail such
as Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail. Etc.
We are unable to quote anything
as to what this is going to cost us. We
need to see the proposals first. The
hope is that the money currently
being collected will be enough to
provide any infrastructure that is
needed for the roll-out.
As to a timeline, we are hoping
to have something to the delegate
body by October. The deadline
for receiving the proposals is
August 1st. We then have to have
the opening of the bids at a joint
Bid/Wi-Fl Committee meeting.
Then we have to go into contract

negotiations with the selected

provider. This would involve the
inclusion of a contract lawyer that
specializes in telecommunications.
After that we need to take it
through the necessary committees
and finally to the delegate assembly
for approval hopefully in October.
Also it was pointed out that
the RFP requires a test roll-out for
areas determined to be the hardest
to reach to show that the system
is viable before the final roll-out
begins for the entire village.
This has been a long and tedious
process and we are trying to get it
accomplished in a way that truly
benefits the residents of Century
Village.

Commissioner, District 2

C o u n t y s
constant
goal
is to provide
its
residents
with a safe and
dependable
supply
of
drinking water.
Paulette Burdick
The
Water
Utilities Department recently released
its annual Water Quality Report for
water delivered in 2013. Our system
had no violations and were proud that
your drinking water meets or exceeds
all Federal and State requirements.
Palm Beach County Water
Utilities is a department of the
Palm Beach County Board of
County Commissioners. It supplies
daily water, reclaimed water and
wastewater services to about 500,000
residents. Its drinking water is drawn
from wells extending approximately
150 feet underground. This is a
safe and reliable source, providing
high-quality water that is free of
microorganisms that are sometimes
found in lakes and rivers. Rain
water percolates down into the
underground aquifer through layers
of soil and sand that act as natural
filters to remove impurities. To
assure the safety of our supply wells,
the County aggressively monitors
well quality through its Well Field
Protection Program.
Drinking water, including bottled
water, may reasonably be expected
to contain at least small amounts
of some contaminants.
People
undergoing chemotherapy, who have
undergone organ transplants, people
with HIV/AIDS or other immune
system disorders, some elderly, and
infants can be more vulnerable and,
therefore, more at risk from infections
than the general population. These
people should seek advice about
drinking water from their health
care providers.
If you would like a copy of the
Water Quality Report, you can call
561-740-4600 to request one, or go
to www.pbcgov.com/waterutilities/
CCR2013.pdf to see the report.
There are things you can easily do
to save both water and money: Check
your lawn sprinkler heads; Make
sure your automatic sprinkler system
has a rain sensor device; Wash only
full loads of laundry; Buy a frontloading washing machine; Make
sure your dishwasher loads are full;
When washing by hand, dont leave
the water running while you wash
and rinse; Fix leaky toilets; Check
faucets and pipes for leaks; Take
shorter showers; Install water-saving
showerheads; Turn off the water
while brushing your teeth.
Please call me at 561-355-2202

Ted Deutch
United States Congressman

In recent years,
we have been
shaken by horrific
shootings
in
Aurora, Colorado,
N e w t o w n ,
Connecticut, the
Navy Yards of
Washington, DC,
Ted Deutch
and most recently
in Santa Barbara, California, Seattle,
Washington, and Troutdale, Oregon.
As we keep the victims and their
families in our thoughts and prayers,
we are reminded of our failure as a
country to pass stronger federal gun
violence prevention laws. In 2014
alone, gun violence has claimed the
lives of more than 4,300 Americans.
Yet tragedy after tragedy, the gun
industry lobby has stood in the way
of commonsense gun safety reforms
supported by the vast majority of
Americans.
In the days after the Santa
Barbara shooting, I joined a
bipartisan majority in the House
of Representatives to pass an
amendment improving funding
for criminal background checks.
However, such modest gestures
must not replace the smart and
sensible reforms we need. We need
to come together around additional,
balanced reforms, including bills
I have sponsored aimed at keeping
guns out of the hands of dangerous
individuals while protecting the
rights of law-abiding Americans:
The Promoting Healthy Minds
for Safer Communities Act is a
major mental health and domestic
violence bill introduced following
the Santa Barbara shooting. It
bolsters mental health crises
services and prevents the sale of
guns to mentally-ill individuals
judged to pose a threat to public
safety or individuals with a record
of domestic abuse against spouses
and children.
The Public Safety and Second
Amendment Rights Protection
Act would close loopholes that
allow criminals to buy guns
online without a background
check. Today, about 40 percent of
all gun sales in America take place
without this basic safety measure.
The TRACE Act would make the
illegal trafficking of guns a federal
crime. Considering that 9 out
of 10 guns in crimes are used by
someone other than the original
buyer, we need to crack down on
individuals who purchase guns
legally only to travel a few miles
and sell them on the street.
The Buyback Our Safety Act
is my own proposal to help local
law enforcement agencies launch
gun buyback pilot programs
to get guns off our streets. My
legislation also mandates the
Justice Department report back to
Congress on the effectiveness of
such initiatives.
Finally, the Enforce Existing

Gun Laws Act repeals a series of
appropriations riders aimed at
stopping federal law enforcement
officials from enforcing our gun
laws. I co-introduced this bill
because enforcing laws we already
have on the books is the least we
can do.
These bills deserve consideration
in Congress, even in the face of
opposition from the gun lobby. I am
confident that the people who elected
us to represent them in Washington
would rather see the passage of
responsible gun safety reforms
dominate the news instead of more
heartbreaking gun violence.
Sharon Bock
Clerk & Comptroller, Palm

Beach County
Guardianship
Fraud
Bill
Approved
by
Florida
Legislature.
New law will
allow Floridas
Clerks to bring
guardianship
Sharon Bock
fraud program to their counties
Im pleased to report some great
news out of Tallahassee! Thanks to
your support, this year the Florida
Legislature approved a bill that will

allow Floridas Clerks to conduct
enhanced audits of court-appointed
guardianships.
The bill was modeled after the
successful Guardianship Fraud
program we have here in Palm Beach
County. Gov. Rick Scott is expected
to sign the bill soon, and the law will
take effect on July 1.
I know these guardianship
fraud programs are effective,
because weve seen real results. Our
investigations into Palm Beach
County guardianship cases have led
to two arrests and have uncovered
more than $3 million in questionable
expenses and misreported assets
since the program launched nearly
three years ago.
Our achievements are earning
national attention for our program. In
May, I spoke about our guardianship
fraud program at the Third World
Congress on Adult Guardianship in
Arlington, Va. I have also spoken at
the National Aging & Law Institutes
conference in Washington, D.C.
and the National Adult Protective
Services Association conference in St.
Paul, MN.
I believe most guardians do
have their wards best interests at
heart. But for anyone in Palm Beach
County who is in a court-appointed
guardianship, our audits offer an
added layer of protection against
fraud. You can learn more about

to our Guardianship Fraud Hotline
at (561) 355-FRAUD.
Allowing Floridas Clerks to
enhance their guardianship fraud
programs is a significant step
toward protecting our states most
vulnerable citizens those people,
both young and old, who are
appointed guardians to oversee their
assets. I applaud our states leaders
for their foresight in approving this
much-needed legislation.
Patrick Murphy
U.S. Congressman
I was honored to
recently
spend
four days over
Memorial
Day
weekend with our
troops stationed
in Afghanistan.
Sharing
this
solemn holiday
Patrick Murphy
with members of
our Armed Forces was truly humbling
and reinforced my belief that one of
the best ways we can pay tribute to
the brave men and women who risk
their lives fighting for us abroad is to
recommit to caring for them when they
return home. That is why, following
my visit, I announced several measures
to take action on behalf of our nations
veterans, service members, and their
families.
With damning reports about the
VA failing our veterans and our nation,
our country must do better to care for
those who have served. That is why I
put forward a bill that would allow a
group of veterans with similar claims
to band together in their appeals,
improving the VA appeals process
and backlog. This would be highly
efficient for both the VA and veterans
by cutting costs, reducing decision
times, and providing effective counsel,
which many veterans do not have
under the current system. Moreover,
this act would give veterans the option
to have their appeals heard in a class
action, just as veterans impacted by
Agent Orange successfully did prior to
creation of the U.S. Court of Appeals
for Veterans' Claims. For veterans
facing disability due to exposure to
burn pits in Afghanistan, this could
be an invaluable tool.
Of course, we cannot truly serve our
nations heroes unless we also invest in
opportunities to make sure they do
not have to fight for a job after fighting
for our country. To that end, I have
introduced legislation to expand the
Post 9/11 GI Bill to cover applications
to college and graduate schools, as well
as technical and vocational schools.
Another bill I have proposed aims
to increase the benefit for military
spouses to pursue an education and to
expand the timeframe in which they
can use these educational benefits so
that this benefit actually covers the
true cost of school.
Furthermore, we must always
remember that caring for our nation's
heroes also means treating not only

their physical but invisible wounds
as well. It was great to see the House
recently pass an amendment I offered
to improve mental health care
and suicide prevention for service
members and veterans by requiring
an independent third party evaluation
of existing suicide prevention
efforts to improve coordination and
integration between the DOD and
the VA. Outcomes of service member
and veterans suicide prevention
programs are too important to be left
to government agencies, particularly
ones embroiled in scandal.
Congress should be fighting for
those who have fought for us. I am
hopeful that members of both parties
will come together, put politics
aside, and pass these common-sense
measures to further our commitment
to do just that. Our heroes have
earned the care, benefits, and support
of a grateful nation. "Support Our
Troops" must mean more than words.
Mark S. Pafford
State Representative
Serving you in the

Florida House of
Representatives
is a tremendous
honor.
With
your phone calls,
emails and other
correspondence,
I was reminded
Mark Pafford
of the important
trust and hope you place in your elected
officials. Though I did not agree with
all the legislation that was approved,
I worked hard to serve you by the way
I voted, debated and worked with my
colleagues.
The Legislature took on important
issues confronting Florida and
passed a new state budget. Together
with my colleagues, we made progress
toward strengthening the economy.
We passed legislation to protect our
most vulnerable residents, but there
is still much to be done to ensure that
our public schools have the funding
they need.
While some critical issues were
addressed, I think the Legislature
should have done more to expand
opportunities for Floridas middleclass families. Several bills that I
believe would have accomplished
this goal for numerous people didnt
pass the House and Senate, and some
did not receive a committee hearing.
We did not raise the minimum wage,
expand health coverage for working
families, or pass bills to guarantee
equal pay for equal work. I also think
even more could have been done
during the 60-day legislative session
to preserve Floridas environmental
treasures, like our beaches, the
Ever-glades, and this states unique
freshwater springs.
Please do not hesitate to contact
me or my staff if you have any
concerns or questions. I am always
glad to hear from you. Thank you
for giving me the opportunity to
represent you.
Take Two and Hit To Right
Sports of The
CenturyVillage
Sam Milham
Last month's question: When
Bobby Thompson hit the shot heard
round the world, how many times
did the excited radio announcer,
Russ Hodges, say The Giants win
the pennant!? The answer: 13!
Incidentally, that was losing pitcher
Ralph Branca's number!
Correction in last months column:
Jimmy Lin's first name should have
been Jeremy. My bad!
ultimate team player, he'll score points,

get rebounds or assistswhatever the
team needs at the time. His drive to the
basket is the most powerful I've ever
seen. As a defender, I would rather try
stopping a Mack truck than Lebron!
By the way, Lebron becomes a free
agent in 2015/16. I can assure you he
will behave in a more professional
manner this time. Im not so sure the
NBA teams will, though!
Football:
National Basketball
Association (NBA):
Lebron James
This is Lebrons fourth year with
the Heat! I think it's time for the
Lebron bashers to realize what a
GREAT BASKETBALL PLAYER he
has developed into and forgive him
for the farce he brought on four years
ago when he became a free agent, and
every team in the NBA started to sell
or trade their high-priced stars in
order to build a large enough kitty to
entice him to come to their city. No
one blamed the owners for dumping
games on this account; no, they called
it dumping salary. Well, to me they
go together like Frank Sinatra's Love
and Marriage.
And then Basketball Commissioner
David Stern did not say a word; he just
loved the publicity the NBA received
unlike last season, when he fined the
San Antonio Spurs for keeping Tim
Duncan and Tony Parker out of a game
to keep them rested for the playoffs. He
fined San Antonio for the good of the
game.
I believe Lebron is the best player
of this era, and one of the best of all
time. Like Michael Jordan, he makes
his teammates play to their potential
by keeping them involved. As the
Indianapolis Colts owner Bob

Irsay, caught for driving under
the influence and with $35,000
worth of prescription drugs, got
just two months prison timeeven
he thought he deserved more and
thanked the prosecutor! Don't be
surprised if even that gets cut down.
Now, Commissioner Roger Goodell,
don't you think it's your turn to hand
out football punishment? I know it
would be hard to punish an owner
who pays part of your approximately
$30 million salary; just pretend he's
a football player and come down
hard on him!
The Cleveland browns drafted
Johnny Manziel (Johnny Football)
with their #22 pick. A lot of good
and bad has been discussed about
Johnny Footballs talent. I'm betting
he makes it as a starting QB within
the 2014 season. Within a week of the
draft, the Browns sold 2000 season
tickets. GO, JOHNNY GO!
THIS MONTHS QUESTION: What
set of brothers hold the major league
home run record for brothers, and
how many did each hit? See you next
month with the answer.
Till then, Take two and hit to
right!
