Cable
David Israel
Taking on the Giant
Where we were
A few years ago, our cable-
TV company, Adelphia, got
taken over by Comcast, the
giant in the cable-TV indus-
try. Comcast violated our old
Adelphia contract by doing
away with seven of our chan-
nels, one being our third HBO
channel. At the same time, our
contract was near its end. Our
cable-TV committee consisted
of one person. What were we
to do?
What we did
Going up against Com-
cast was like David going up
against Goliath. Many com-
munities like ours were getting
ripped off by the cable-TV
companies, paying increas-
ingly exorbitant prices. When
appointed chair of the Cable-
TV Committee for the Village,
I assembled a team to try to
solve the problem. We inter-
viewed several companies
that specialize in striking the
best deal for folks like us with
cable-TV companies. We fi-
nally selected one, Converged
Systems, Inc. (CSI), to go to
bat for us. Happily, their fee
was a percentage of how much
they could save us, not an ad-
ditional expense.
What CSI did for us
The goal of CSI was simple:
to obtain the best mix of ser-
vice, cost, and signing bonus
for us. Because Century Vil-
lage is so large, we had more
leverage than did smaller
communities in negotiating a
favorable contract. CSI helped
us boil down the choices to
four cable-TV companies,
with Comcast being one of
them. Comcast became well
aware that we were doing
some intelligent shopping, and
if they were to hold onto us,
they would have to consider-
ably sweeten the pot. After
extensive analysis and many
meetings with CSI, the Cable
Committee, the Officers Com-
mittee, the Executive Board,
and finally the Delegate As-
sembly, agreed to accept a
brand new Comcast offer.
What we gained and what
we lost
As you know, we gained
the digital starter tier. We also
gained the vast number of
channels you get by pushing
the On Demand button on
your remote — many movies
(some pay-for, but many free);
TV reruns; and a number of
music channels. This applied
to one TV in your apartment,
whichever one you chose. The
agreement was for Comcast
to come by later and, for no
extra charge, add two spe-
cial boxes to provide us with
channels 2-99 to two other
TVs in your apartment. We
lost our remaining two HBO
channels, which many people
enjoyed, but which often ran
the same movie over and over
again, and which we were in
danger of losing anyway by
Comcast’s pulling them, just
as they had done with our third
HBO channel.
The biggest signing bonus
our attorney had ever seen
The bonus we got by sign-
ing with Comcast was the
biggest that our attorney, who
is an expert in cable contract
law, had ever seen. It was so
large — in excess of two mil-
lion dollars — that Comcast
insisted we sign a confidential-
ity agreement to not publicly
divulge the exact amount. In
addition, the percentage fee
we paid for CSI’s services
was 15%, believed to be the
lowest rate of compensation
ever paid by a bulk customer
to this company.
What has the money been
used for?
The bonus money was used,
of course, to pay this 15% and
to pay our attorney. This left us
so much that the UCO admin-
istration decided to take a big
chunk of it to completely pay
off the remaining mortgage
on the new UCO building.
Remember this, please, those
of you who have been critical!
It was then prudently decided
to invest 35% of the money in
CDs in case the Village had to
pay taxes on the signing bonus,
since this was an unknown. Ev-
ery remaining penny has been
returned to our unit owners to
reduce the monthly cable fee
for the first year of the contract.
Our $22.95-per-month bulk
rate per condo unit for Basic
Cable, Expanded Basic, Digi-
tal Starter tier, and 48 music
channels goes for $56.00 per
month across the street from

Is SB 780
Unconstitutional?
By Shirley Olivera
Whether or not this bill is
passed in its original form or
modified is neither here nor
there for the present and im-
mediate future.
There are remedies that the
Associations can institute now
to avoid problems later, such as:
• Accept only fully invested
buyers, no mortgages.
• Increase reserves by assessing
new owners a one-time Aban-
donment/Foreclosure fee.
• Increase annual common
charges to cover a percent-
age of each unit’s cost to
carry for six months in the
event of abandonment/fore-
closure.
Or to state it plainly: There
is no free lunch or free ride.
Home ownership entails per-
sonal responsibilities and
costs. Any costs assumed by
a lender will eventually be
passed on to all borrowers
whether or not the property is
repossessed in a foreclosure,
tax sale, or abandonment.
The problem with condo-
minium and other homeowner
common charges is that they
are shared and obligatory. The
assumption is that all own-
ers will pay their share until
they dispose of the property.
(See Florida’s Boom & Bust
economy below.)
Lenders will fight this bill
because historically lenders
have not been responsible
for homeowner insurance,
real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance. A mortgage
agreement usually requires a
real estate tax and/or insurance
escrow reserve. Private mort-
gage insurance is also required
if the buyer’s deposit is less
than 20%. These obligations
protect the lender from loss
in case the borrower defaults.
The lender has no control
over what borrowers do with
their property with respect to
repairs and upkeep.
If lenders use bailout funds
(taxpayer funds) to bail out
suffering homeowner associa-
tions, then it will be taxpayers
picking up the bills. Why should
taxpayers subsidize retirement
and vacation communities such
as Century Village with ameni-
ties that they don’t themselves
possess? Robbing poor Peter to
pay rich Paul? I don’t think it
will fly in North Dakota. These
funds should come out of lend-
ers’ profits, if any.
It has always puzzled me
why Century Village resi-
dents are convinced that they
must live as cheaply as pos-

Dan Gladstone
A few words on the First
Priority Restoration (FP)
situation and why it all start-
ed. On January 1, 2009, a new
company acquired Philadel-
phia Insurance Company that
covers our water damages.
The new company, that was
not aware of the way our
Village was run, issued an
insurance policy that covered
the whole Century Village
with $15,000 only for mold.
In other words, there was no
coverage at all.
Although the mistake was
noticed by the adjusters in
February 2009 and me in
March, when I received the
policies, the Village had to
take care of the mounting
damages. No adjuster would
issue a report without actually
seeing a written coverage by
the insurance company. Thus,
no money was coming in.
I met FP for the first time
in April 2009 during their
presentation at the mainte-
nance committee and after 3
association presidents from
the audience praised their
work & services. They agreed
to start immediately the emer-
gency works in the Village on
my verbal promise only that
the mistake by the insurance
company was recognized and
that it would be corrected. In
other words, they were will-
ing to work with no money
in sight.
Learning from the three
hurricanes that we experi-
enced when associations had
roofs blown away with no
tarps or shingles available for
weeks, I was looking for a
company that would be ready
to supply it on a moments
notice. FP did. They have a
warehouse ready for us next
door on Vista Parkway West
of us. They were also ready to
supply radio communications
in case of a power failure.
It took another three months
until the written endorsement
(Philadelphia PHPK359306)
reached me on June 18, 2009.
By this time FP was owed hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars.
Please note that I was not aware
of how many damages were to
come in the future and for me
each claim was the last one.
With no money from the
insurance company in sight,
I was physically involved in
each claim so that all parties
would be aware of the deli-
cate situation. Furthermore, I
have been always personally
involved in each and every
claim because I had to be sure
that the insurance coverage
would be there and that the
insurance adjuster would not
have a chance to deny the
claim. In 30% of the cases,
I saved the day. Claims that
insurance adjusters could
have been diverted to denial
were ready for inspection on
the positive side.
Another interesting point!
In a claim situation, an asso-
ciation could pick one of two
options. a) do the repairs on
your own i.e. get bids, b) pay
contractors the down payments
yourself c) present the “proof
of loss” to the insurance com-
pany and wait for the check. Or
choose the other option, which
was, to be responsible only
for the deductible. That’s it
on your part.
FP would have to adhere to
the dollar amount agreement
among the three adjusters
i.e. the association insurance
company adjuster, the unit
owner adjuster and the public
adjuster that would look after
the interest of the associations
& the unit owners. This sys-
tem took all the burden of
out of pocket monies from
the associations/unit owners.
The system was so suc-
cessful that some opposition
(in my mind politically mo-
tivated) started to protect the
mighty insurance companies
and complain about the large
amount of money that was
coming to our residents and
associations. More so when
the checks began to arrive,
some decided to hold it al-
though according to the agree-
ments they were not involved
in any money situation. These
checks were the first of 2 or 3
to come so there was no reason
to hold it until the work was
done. The insured claimed
that they did not want to “pay
in advance” for works not
finished. 1st Priority was not
going anywhere because other
money was owed to them. To
remind you all, they were not
supposed to be involved in

Safety
George Franklin
This month, the safety sub-
ject is golf carts.
As we know, there are quite
a few residents who own and
use “Golf Carts” in the Vil-
lage. In addition to residents,
the majority of management
companies also operate these
vehicles.
I have had many questions
and some complaints about the
use of these vehicles in the Vil-
lage. I will attempt to answer
these concerns. Florida State
Traffic Statute #316.2125
states that operation of a golf
cart in a retirement commu-
nity is permissible providing
(refer to section 316.212.4)
that they are operated only
during the hours between
sunrise and sunset unless
the responsible government
entity has determined that a
golf cart may be operated dur-
ing the hours between sunset
and sunrise and the golf cart
is equipped with head lights,
brake lights, turn signals
and a windshield.
Now, this is very simple
to understand. If your golf
cart is not equipped as stated,
you may not operate it after
sunset. 316.212.5 states: “A
golf cart must be equipped
with efficient brakes , reliable
steering apparatus, safe tires,
as the maximum speed limit
in the village is 25 miles per
hour. Some of you take your
golf carts outside the Village
and onto Okeechobee Blvd.
I have seen this personally.
Please be aware that if you are
caught, you may face a non
criminal traffic infraction as
a moving violation or a non
moving violation, depending
on the subsections charged
under. In addition, if you are
involved in an accident, there
can be serious repercussions in
the form of lawsuits for prop-
erty damage and or injuries.
Another problem we have
been faced with is the op-
eration of these carts on the
grass areas and pedestrian
walkways. After reading the
above, I would think that un-
less a management company
is actually using the golf cart
to maintain a property, such
as in spraying from the cart or
transferring parts of some na-
ture to a location on property,
to please use the street. I have
observed what I would feel to
be unsafe operation of some of
these carts.
Don’t forget: Just because
these are small unlicensed
vehicles, you do not have the
right to use them in a careless
manner.

Bylaw Amendments
Continued from Page 1
from UCO’s attorney, the
amendment which requires
that ‘officers cannot be a
Delegate’ has been mandated
by new law and should be
passed. This amendment
permits a seated Delegate to
participate in the election of
officers, although if a Del-
egate is elected or appointed
to an officer’s position, he
must immediately resign from
the Delegate Assembly.
Section B also required re-
wording so that an office
created by the Delegate As-
sembly is not confused with
an officer’s position.
Section C makes the required
changes from “office” to “of-
ficer.
AMENDMENT #1
ARTICLE VI
OFFICERS
A. The officers of UCO shall
be a President, four (4) Vice
Presidents, a Treasurer, a Cor-
responding Secretary, and a
Recording Secretary, and the
President Emeritus. …. In
addition, there shall be the
office of President Emeritus.
Such office The position of
President Emeritus shall
be held without election by
each retiring President during
the first term of his immedi-
ate successor. The President
Emeritus shall perform such
duties as may be requested
by the current President, with
the approval of the Executive
Board. He shall be ex officio,
a member of all committees
except the Election Committee
and the Ombudsman Commit-
tee. ….
A Delegate may not serve in
the Delegate Assembly and
as an officer at the same
time. Upon becoming an of-
ficer, a sitting Delegate must
immediately resign from the
Delegate Assembly.
B. The Delegate Assembly
may create additional of-
fices below the rank of Vice
President, and may specify
the duties of each such office
and the requirements of elec-
tion or appointment thereto;
and may alter or dissolve such
offices. Persons elected to any
occupying such offices shall
not, by virtue of their office,
be members of the Executive
Board, nor shall they be con-
sidered officers of UCO.
C. Any vacancy of an elected
or appointed officer occur-
ring before the expiration of
a term, shall be filled by the
affirmative vote of the major-
ity of the remaining Officers’
Committee Members. The fill-
ing of any vacancy in office of
an officer must be approved
at the next meeting of the
Delegate Assembly at which a
quorum is present. In the event
that the remaining officers fail
to agree on an appointment, or,
the Delegate Assembly fails
to approve the appointment,
a special election by the Del-
egate Assembly shall be held
to fill the vacancy. Such officer
shall serve for the unexpired
term of the seat being filled.

F. PRESIDENT EMERITUS
The President Emeritus shall
perform such duties as may
be requested by the current
President. with the approval
of the Executive Board. He
shall be ex officio, a member
of all committees except the
Election Committee and the
Ombudsman Committee.
**********
This amendment accommo-
dates the previous change to
the Bylaws establishing stag-
gered two-year terms for Ex-
ecutive Board Members, and
thereafter, for the election of
10 members on an annual
basis. It strikes out the soon
to be obsolete language which
refers to a tie vote for the 20th
elected member.
AMENDMENT #2
ARTICLE VIII
COMMITTEES
E. ELECTION
COMMITTEE
….
6. In the event of a tie vote for
an officer’s position of UCO,
the President shall call for a
special election by the Del-
egates within five (5) working
days for the candidates who
received the tie vote. Should
there be a tie vote for the 20th
member of two or more can-
didates for the same seat on
the Executive Board, it is up
to the President to call for a
runoff election as above, or
name both all such candidates
to the Board. If the latter op-
tion is exercised and both all
such candidates are named
to the Board, each candidate
will be considered to have
been elected by the Delegate
Assembly and the number re-
quired for a quorum adjusted
accordingly.
**********
The new law mandates that
the section heading “RE-
MOVAL FROM OFFICE” be
changed to “REMOVAL OF
OFFICERS”. The removal of
Officers will no longer be sub-
ject to the nearly impossible
vote which was previously
required. The vote to remove

Sometimes I think I’m just
writing the SOS!!
Perhaps it is because I keep
hearing the same questions and/
or comments from the other side
of the desk. Same old stuff!
The past weeks have
brought a continuing discus-
sion that usually starts with
the Association representative
saying that “we are having
a problem with people not
paying their monthly assess-
ments.” And it is not uncom-
mon for an Association to have
several units that are behind
in their payments. They are
asked what steps they have
taken to solve the situation and
the answer usually is that these
folks are not in residence and
cannot be reached.
Two questions follow
quickly. Do you have an At-
torney on a retainer and do you
have a bad debts line in your
2010 budget. The answers
usually are “No” and “What
do you mean?”
If you are in a 24 unit build-
ing and four unit owners are
not paying, how do you expect
to pay the November and De-
cember payments? In theory,
with the exception of pay-
ments to the reserve funds, the
budget is divided into twelve
months and each month needs
to be collected on time in order
to pay that month’s bills. In
this case, twenty unit owners

Anita J. Cruz
VP, WPRF, Inc.
What a talented group of
residents we have! This year’s
Annual Resident Show was
fantastic, and said to be by
most who attended, “one of the
finest shows of the season.”
Those who attended this year’s
show, I Am An American, were
treated to a state-by-state trip
through this great nation of
ours, replete with rousing
song and enthusiastic dance
performed by about 40 of your
fellow neighbors and friends.
Those who were in at-
tendance at our Sweetheart’s
Ball enjoyed a very special,
romantic evening. WPRF
provided door prizes to some
very lucky recipients, and we
trust that we “sweetened up”
everyone’s Valentine’s Day.
If you are looking for an en-
joyable evening during March,
please consider attending one
of our fabulous shows in the
Theater. We still have plenty
of good seats left for Ballroom
with a Twist on March 14th, So-
phisticated Ladies on March
23rd, and Jay Siegel’s Tokens
on March 25th. Check out the
show reviews in the March
Happenings — tickets can be
purchased seven days a week
at the Ticket Office in the Main
Clubhouse.
Thank you to all who are
participating in our theater’s
2009-10 season. As you have
already seen, we have a won-
derful lineup of shows to
please all tastes in entertain-
ment. We also provide regular
updates by email to those who
wish to be on our email list
to keep you abreast of show
changes as well as provide
you with information about
upcoming shows and per-
formers. If you would like to

Our construction work is
finished on the Hastings swim-
ming pool and is now re-
opened. The Hastings “Lazy
River” resistance pool is
now closed and we are well
underway with repairs. The
resistance pool will be re-
opened as soon as possible.
We generally try to schedule
this type of work for the off-
season months; however, due
to permitting delays the work
on these two pools had to
be scheduled during season.
These pool closures were re-
quired to maintain compliance
with state and county codes,
and not for cosmetic purposes.
Thank you all for your pa-
tience and understanding.
You will soon be seeing
new tables and umbrellas at
all of our pools, as well as
new lounges and chairs at
about half of our facilities.
The cost for purchasing the
remainder of the lounges and
chairs required for all pools to
be complete will be part of the
2010-11 budget that I present
to the Operations Committee
this fall.
Please look also for new
improvements to the tennis
courts and Picnic Island in
the weeks and months ahead.
Our maintenance staff is hard
at work maintaining the build-
ings and property to prolong
the useful life of what we
already have, and so that you
can expect a clean and safe
environment when in any of
our facilities.
Enjoy the rest of the season,
and be well. o

Many months were spent in
our effort to settle our financial
differences with WPRF after
all the rebuilding was com-
pleted. The final settlement
arrived through mediation was
3.2 million dollars. Under the
chairmanship of Ted Silver-
man, an annual birthday party
was instituted for those of our
residents who reached the age
of l00 and over.
The number of health fairs
were increased to twice a year
with the cooperation of the
Century Medical Care Center
and Comprehensive Home
Health Care. We have also
encouraged medical profes-
sionals to give lectures in the
clubhouse on their specialty.
Hopefully, many of you
have observed that the res-
toration of the shoreline has
begun, under the supervision
of Sal Bummolo.
Many contracts were nego-
tiated and signed during our
administration. Among them
was the Security contract
with Weiser, the bus contract
with Community Transit and
of course, the one with Com-
cast, among others. The much
anticipated recycled water
became a reality, and our lakes
will now remain full.
With the rebuilding of our
UCO office building we have
made our Notary services
available to all our residents
and not just for UCO busi-
ness. Because we are now
able to install transponders in
the back of our building, we
were also able to increase the
frequency of the installations
to once a week. There were
some additions and changes to
our UCO staff. We hired an as-
sistant to our Community As-
sociation Manager as well as
a full charge bookkeeper, both
new positions. Our new CAM
(Rodger Carver) replaced Pat
Blunck, who returned to his
first love, teaching. His as-
sistant (Clay Wynn) was just
recently joined by our book-
keeper, Marilyn Lanflisi. All
three are most pleasant and fit
right into our village as though
they have been here for ages.
The UCO Reporter is now
printed in two colors, giving it
a new and fresh look. As you
can see from these highlights,
it has been a busy and produc-
tive four years, for which I am
justifiably proud. I wish my
successor all the best as he
takes on the reins of leadership
for the next two years. o

Before I start my article,
I must state our policy with
regard to manufacturers and
anyone who lectures at any
maintenance meeting:
UCO and the maintenance

approve of any manufactur-
ers, product, or contractor. All
opinions of any lecturer are
strictly their own and not those

Dan Gladstone, the Insur-
ance Committee Chair, let
everyone know why the in-
surance rates were increased.
Part was due to the State to
replenish the State insurance
fund, and the other part was
due to the vast amount of wa-
ter damage that was sustained
by unit owners here in Century
Village. The total insurance
increase for 2010 came to
about fourteen percent. The
deductible per water damage
is still $5,000. Dan also re-
minded everyone that if they
need proof of insurance, they
should contact him. He then
answered all questions related
to insurance.

There are additional steps
that could be taken to help

(a) Get a hot water tank alarm

I also had a written com-
mitment from 1st Priority that
under any circumstances there
would be no out-of-pocket
money for the association
or the unit owners. The fee
of the public adjuster would
come from the extra insurance
proceed that he would receive.
Naturally, most of the asso-
ciations chose option B. Why
do you want to be bothered
with bids, liquidity of money
etc. This was a huge success.
Associations and unit owners
were receiving insurance mon-
ies beyond their dreams.
UCO condition was that all
jobs would be done “by the
book” i.e. with County permits
and inspections accordingly.
No job will start without it.
Apparently during the last
forty years numerous jobs
were done by handymen and
such without proper licensing
or permits which created an
enormous amount of code
violations.
All this was good until
the election period arrived.
Jealousy and envy entered
the picture. I was blamed in
public for thinking of myself
as the “Savior of Century Vil-
lage” and so forth. When my
friends warned me that my

fied UCO President, towards
the end of November 2009,
in writing that I would stop
all activities of the “helping
hand” in insurance claims.
That included involvements
with FP, public adjusters, A-
Able for mitigation reports and
other fruitful help.
Although it is heartbreaking
to see the residents living out
of their damaged apartments
for a long time, the answer
lies only with “Palm Beach
County, Planning, Zoning
& Building Department, the
Building Division.” For their
own reasons, the County has
held Century Village permits
for weeks and months un-
til we were to abide by the
Florida State codes.
The County Building de-
partment failed every apart-
ment that they inspected. They
would not give permits and
allow anyone to move in and
start repairs until all the
previous violations were re-
moved. This had to be done by
the unit owner at his expense
before anyone could start the
works.
And that, my friends, is
the reason why the works
were held up for months.
Remember: It took two-
and-a-half years to complete
our Clubhouse instead of a
one year schedule.

Musing With
Myron
By Myron Solomon
Hey, Century Village!!
I’m back!! I hope all my old
friends, the residents of Cen-
tury Village, don’t think that I
forgot about them — never!!
The reason I decided to write
this article was because I at-
tended a meeting on February
10 in the Clubhouse on behalf
of the residents with problems
concerning their apartments
not being finished.
In the middle of the meet-
ing, Jean Dowling stood up
and asked George Loewen-
stein to fire Dan Gladstone.
Naturally, he refused. Then I
was told that Jean Dowling
is Dave Israel’s campaign
manager, and I saw the reason
for her actions. This was just
a ploy to discredit Dan Glad-
stone, who is running for UCO
President against Dave.
Let me take you back a
few years. Jean Dowling was
part of a group of UCO of-
ficers when the Clubhouse
was being rebuilt after the
hurricanes. She was in charge
of the Clubhouse building
and decorating while work-
ing with the contractor. They
spent about six million dol-
lars ($6,000,000.00) of the
residents’ money without any
backup bills. This was discov-

Excursion Bus Trips

Excursion Buses run Mondays & Wednesdays, every month.

The Monday bus normally goes to Wellington Green at 9:30 a.m. and
returns at 1:15 p.m. This same bus makes a second trip at 10:30 a.m.
Transportation
to Wal-Mart, returning at 2:10 p.m. Barbara Cornish
EXCEPTION: The 2nd Monday trip is to Lake Worth Beach, leaving
at 9:30 a.m. and returning by 2:30 p.m. This is a big bus holding 48
passengers. The March trip is on March 8th.

The Wednesday bus normally goes to CityPlace at 10 a.m. and
continues on to Gardens Mall, arriving about 10:30 a.m. This bus
leaves the Gardens Mall at 1:30 p.m. and picks up at CityPlace about
2 p.m.
EXCEPTION: The 4th Wednesday trip is to Delray on February
24th, leaving at 9:30 a.m. and returning by 2:30 p.m. The destination
is the Carnival Flea Market, and Beall’s Outlet is within walking
distance.
This 48 passenger bus is usually full, so it makes sense to arrive
between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. to be sure of getting a seat.
Thank you, for those that attended the South Florida Fair. The weather was not very coop-
erative, but I am sure those that went had a good time. We had 77 residents that went.
The Transportation Committee meetings are on the third Monday of the month, but there is
a new time, 9:30 a.m.
On the excursion bus that goes to Walmart on State Road 7, it will first stop at Target and
then Golden Corral before Walmart. Check the new schedule.
There are suggest/comment sheets at the Main Clubhouse in the ticket office and also at
UCO. We are always open to suggestions.
Monday and Wednesday excursion buses are overflowing. Tickets will be given on a first
come first serve basis like a boarding pass.
It is my pleasure to serve our residents. o

— we estimated 800 people
attending. The presiding judge
was Ed Rogers, retired from
P.B. County court. We were
quite impressed with his keep-
ing things on an even keel. A
great Power Point presenta-
tion was provided by Howie
Silver. The Public Relations
gentleman for the Waldmans
was Greg DuBose, an extraor-
dinary speaker. At one point a
biased comment came from
the audience, and he handled it
very well, while the audience
booed the bigot that made the
comment. Aside from that,
things went quite smoothly.
By 4 pm, we were standing
in line with others that wished
to question Andrew Waldman.
While on line, we took copi-
ous notes, so that when it was
our turn, and we told him we
represented the Village news-
paper, Mr. Waldman thought
to have his wife Anne help
with his response to my two
questions.
The first question related to
a statement that we heard as
“no plan has been submitted
to the county.” He clarified it
as “for this particular project
as yet.” The second question
related to a statement that we
heard as “let nature maintain
the lakes.” He clarified this
one as “we intend to work with
nature to maintain the lakes.”
We were given permission to
print these statements.
We must repeat our opinion
that it was mainly due to Judge
Rogers that there were no out-
bursts (except for the audience
response to the one bigot) and
even though some people left
as time wore on, we estimated
that more than 75% were still
present when we joined the

By request, I read The Lost
Symbol by Dan Brown, which
is the blockbuster novel of
2009, having sold two million
copies during its first week in

Once again, Robert Lang-
don is the hero of this story,
as he was in Brown’s Da Vinci

revealed and others want to
stay hidden. The story takes
us to all the must-sees of our
nation’s capitol: the Capitol
Building, the Washington
Monument, and the Smithson-
ian, as well as lesser landmarks
such as the National Cathedral
and the Washington, D.C. ‘s
Masonic Temple , a very in-
teresting piece of architecture.
This book follows the fa-
miliar Brown formula: a con-
spiracy, a threat to the world
as we know it, and a relentless
villain. All the usual Brown

Can anyone match these achievements?

12 years of constant uninterrupted service at UCO, because I care about 1 year member
the people in our village.

As a member of the SECURITY Committee I was very instrumental in 1 year member

advising and checking the bar code/transponder systems. I spend days
walking around the village, checking the condition of the fences, taking
pictures and repairing where needed, because I care about your safety.

As a member of the TRANSPORTATION Committee I have been active in 1 year member

keeping order and safety in our buses most of the time out in the field
wearing a full Century Village Security uniform, because I care.

As a member of the ADVISORY Committee I have been instrumental in not a member

changing our bylaws to up-to-date, because I care.

As a member of the SAFETY Committee I have been helping in making our not a member
village safer, because I care.

I removed our insurance policies from the maintenance companies that nothing
were unprofessionally handled and were in a confusing stage, and I united
it under our UCO INSURANCE Committee.

I was extremely successful in handling over 2,000 Hurricane claims. It nothing

was unprecedented compared to the other Century Villages and other
communities, because I care.

I was instrumental in changing WPRF insurance policies from what could nothing
have been a tremendous liability to our residents with millions in deduct-
ibles at outrageous cost. We now have veto powers, much cheaper pre-
miums, and by far better coverage and deductibles, because I care about
you.

I reversed many insurance claim denials to the Associations into full pay- nothing
ments. It was hard, it was nerve racking, but I was successful because I
care.

When Wellington Federal was disconnected from our village and had to nothing
pay extra $850,000 in insurance premiums, it was I who reached all the
way to Tallahassee and reversed the decree. The $850,000 was returned
to the residents of Wellington, because I care.

I introduced Mitigation Reports to our village and the result was nothing — trying to stop UCO volunteers’ help
$2,500,000 cheaper premiums on our property policies for the Associa-
tions. I also introduced Mitigation Reports to the Unit Owners and the
results were up to 70% cheaper policies, because I care.

When no one believed that it was possible, I managed to get $168,000 nothing
more for the UCO office relating to the hurricane claim under the code
insurance provision, because I care.

My biggest achievement has been helping the private rsidents, hundreds nothing
of them, in their private struggle against rejections of insurance claims
that can ruin their life. I have been successful in seeing to it that everyone
got full payment. Why? Because I love and care for my neighbors and our
residents!

I want to be UCO’s president because UCO has come a long, long way in
making many things happen for you, but still has a way to go to make ev-
eryone understand and appreciate what their ultimate goals are. I believe
that I can lead down that road.

I have always been here for you, and I will continue to be.

Please come to my meeting on Friday, February 26th at 10 a.m. in Room C

at the Clubhouse.

This meeting is hosted by Cambridge F Condo Association under the

agenda of “the Future of Century Village”. Come to the meeting and ALL
your questions will be answered.

Why Do I Want To Be President of UCO?

By: Dave Israel
First and foremost: I have lived here for 9 years and have a love for the Village. I would like to repay the Village for what it is has meant to me.
I have the skills and experience to help in this capacity.
What skills and what experience? I’m a detail person. I worked as a cryptologist with the National Security Agency for over 30 years I was
the chief of a large division of analysts; I solved many intractable problems, the solutions thereof impacting positively on the National Security,
I received the National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal; the highest award bestowed by the Intelligence Community. Herewith the
unclassified Citation:
“In recognition of his especially meritorious service with the Intelligence Community for over twenty years. During this period he has
earned admiration and respect for his breadth and depth of technical knowledge. He has made key discoveries which have impacted
decisions making at the highest levels of government. Mr. Israel has patiently given scores of intelligence professionals the benefit of his
knowledge and experience and his superb leadership has provided an example for a new generation of analysts. His exemplary service
and dedication to duty reflect great credit on himself, the National Security Agency and the Intelligence Community”
After the terrorist attack on September 11th, I was recalled to set up entirely new protocols to find the perpetrators and launch new capabilities to
prevent additional attacks. I know how to do research and analysis, ferret out facts, and get to the bottom of things when faced with a question,
I do not guess; I get the accurate answer. I also know how to delegate. I have been a vice president of UCO now for the past year, in that short
time, I have created the kernel of an Information Technology department to maintain the UCO Computers and the network that controls the gate
security system and the UCO telephone network. I have been the president of my association for five years, and I serve on a number of UCO
committees; such as Advisory, Cable, Security, Operations, Insurance, and Finance. When complex questions need to be researched, which require
correct answers; I do that research for UCO.
What are my main concerns? It troubles me that our people go into UCO and are sometimes treated rudely. It troubles me also that UCO
personnel too often give out misleading or just plain wrong information. It troubles me that some of our operations are so cumbersome and time-
consuming. With the cooperation of the officers and the Delegate Assembly, I will change this. Clearly the goal is to place more professional and
highly experienced personnel as part of the UCO staff. Prime candidate departments for personnel upgrades would be Finance, Investigations,
and Information Technology and Communications. I am dedicated to total transparency in UCO Operations no secret gatherings and decision

DAVE ISRAEL P
ISRAEL U
for President of UCO:
1. He already brings sanity and reason to the village.
2. He is genuinely caring and protective of older residents. He treats
everyone with respect and dignity.
3. He is incredibly productive, knowledgeable, and dedicated. He is a
wizard with anything computer related. He researches each and every
issue thoroughly.
4. He will bring UCO finances up to Generally Accepted Accounting
Procedures and make finances transparent. He is economy minded and will
find state-of-the-art solutions.
5. He is efficient. He makes other people more productive, with no wasted
time or effort.
6. He will implement proper oversight of all UCO functions. There will be
no coverups out of misplaced loyalty.
7. He will implement proper following of bylaws. There will be REAL open
meetings and improved communications.
8. He will enforce ethics, obtain proper bids, no advertising or soliciting
for businesses. HE DOES NOT RUN ANY PERSONAL BUSINESSES ON THE
SIDE; AND THERE ARE NO POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
9. He will keep professional and cordial relationships with our business
associates. He is a tough negotiator - not inclined to sue over everything.
10. He will bring progress in understanding that CV is much too big to be
advised and directed by amateurs.

making in the dark; My UCO Administration will say “YES” at every possible opportunity. It is my unalterable task to stop UCO interference
in Association affairs.
What operations would I change? Two are most urgent. We need to simplify the procedure for getting transponders. We need to install
transponders “on demand,” no more nonsense of making appointments weeks in advance; if you come in for a transponder, you will get it then,
not later; no more keeping people waiting inordinate lengths of time. We also need to make the procedure for getting prospective owners and
renters investigated and approved a smoother and faster process. A professional needs to be brought in to assist with our investigative procedures
so we do a much better job of it and avoid legal pitfalls.
Century Village is a medium-size town. With 14,000 in-season residents and a multi-million dollar budget, it is essential we do things right.
UCO is a servant to the 309 Village associations, not boss. It needs to be a thoroughly honest servant and a competent servant, but also a servant
that knows its bounds. Well-meaning people need to take care to not “play attorney.”
Insurance is an association’s biggest single expense. The cost of insurance far exceeds what is paid to our management companies. We need
something more than a “one trick pony,” as persuasive and able as he or she may be, controlling our overall insurance operation. We need the
entire Committee to understand it thoroughly, be able to explain the details of it to others, and be able to act as a check on one another. Too much
is at stake to not have this. UCO needs to adhere to the strict contractual requirement of the Bi-lateral Agreement-that is, to simply negotiate the
policies. UCO’s name should not be anywhere on an association’s insurance policies. UCO should not be involved in any way with arranging
for repairs or remediation contractors. The individual associations should file their claims, find and select their own contractors, and call in a
public adjuster if needed. The associations must deal directly with our Insurance Agent or Insurance Company, as required. We must learn the
names and telephone numbers of our agents working in the Plastridge Agency, or perhaps in another agency that might be more attuned to our
needs in CV. Finally, in accordance with Florida Statute FS-718, each association must have a copy of each of their insurance policies as a part
of the association records — not merely the declarations pages, but rather, the entire set of policies. These should be obtained, not from UCO, but
directly from the insurance agent(s) involved or the insurance companies — in the same way you get your automobile or homeowner’s policy.
No association should have to come to UCO to get its association policies. That some associations have done this and then been stalled and put
off is intolerable.
Blowing the whistle. On our Century Village Website (http://century-village-wpb.blogspot.com/) that some of you read, I and others have blown
the whistle on numerous occasions about questionable and improper Village goings-on. As president, I’ll be in a much better position to protect
your interests. Your Constitutional rights of free speech must be upheld without censorship. As your UCO president, I will serve you faithfully
and well — just as I served my country when I worked for the U.S. government for over 30 years, and in the United States Army for three years.

I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE

Dear Mr. Gladstone,
I am writing this letter to thank you for
all your efforts to obtain an insurance claim
from State Farm for the damage to Chatham
C. I would never have received a favorable
payment had it not been for your knowledge
of state law and your persistence in pursuing
my claim for reimbursement of the money I
paid to Sunshine Aluminum for replacement of
my screened porch. At first State Farm ignored
my claim and then refused it. After you spoke
to them and provided proof of state law, they
relented and called to tell me that they would
pay my claim. I have only you to thank for
helping me.

It’s not very often that you find a person
who is as dedicated as you are to a job that I
am sure no one else would undertake to do.
You give of your time and energy to visit as
many condos that call you, to explain about
homeowners insurance. You have been to our
condo meeting and spent over two hours of
your time on a Sunday morning, answering all
kinds of questions about insurance.
The reason I am writing this letter to you
is to thank you for your advice and effort you
put in when we had a water leakage and mold
disaster in one of our apartments. You got the
right people to take care of our problem and
they did an excellent job. We were well satis-

What You Missed

at the South
Florida Fair
By Dot Loewenstein
We took the 1 p.m. bus and
arrived after torrential rains
which affected the (outdoor!)
sand castle, but it was still
intriguing. Our first stop was
to see the female Houdini
who was submerged in water
wearing handcuffs, etc. Some
parents realized this might not
be proper for young ones to
watch, and left immediately.
“Don’t try this at home” could
have been their instructions.
From there a short walk to
another Indoor show — this
one included a sleepy little
alligator who became quite
irritated when the handler
approached. Youngsters were
invited to come on stage to
participate by putting a hand

P P P P P P P
inside the mouth of the reptile.
At this point the weather
cleared, so we ventured out-
side for a nice walk and ended
up sitting in front of Paul Bun-
yan, Lumberjack. We expected
this to be rather boring, but
needed to rest, so stayed. Well,
if you thought the alligator
show was mesmerizing, you
surely missed the best part of
the Fair — log rolling contests,
and the winner was a dog. Yes,
a Jack Russell Terrier. Re-
minded us of the water skiing
squirrel a few years ago.
Next was Dennis Lee, a
perennial singer/entertainer.
You may remember him as
the man who follows people
leaving or walking thru the
aisles, oblivious to a show in
progress. At one time, we were
so enthralled with the music
that we spontaneously got up
to dance. Of course, Dennis
approached and asked if he
could cut in, and naturally my
spouse agreed. Imagine his
surprise when Dennis took
him as his partner!
Winding down, we enjoyed
the antics of fifth graders
at Panther Run Elementary
School in Lake Worth as they
played steel drums. It was
there that we learned there are
different types of steel drums,
including doubles and triples
that produce lower notes.
On our way out, we visited
all the arts and crafts, and
stopped at the Mounts Botani-
cal spot where we were given
a tomato plant — free! Finally,
we looked at, but did not eat,
Deep Fried Pickles. What will
they cook up next year? o

For people with Medicare

Everybody’s talking about health care these days. But what are they doing
about it?
At CarePlus, we believe the best way to keep costs down is to keep
our members healthy. So we encourage the kind of lifestyle that keeps you
out of the doctor’s office, except for routine visits. The kind of health care
that makes it possible for you to take fewer medications, rather than more.
Health care that puts the focus on prevention instead
of fixing what’s wrong.
That’s the kind of health care we believe in– the kind that’s
better for everyone, because it concentrates on health.

The Century Village Symphony Orchestra’s annual concert will take

place on Thursday, March 13 at 8:00 pm in the Clubhouse Theatre. We
will be performing The Poet and Peasant Overture, Concertino for Piano
Recipes in A Minor, The Russian Sailors’ Dance, selections from The Phantom of
Avis Blank the Opera, El Relicario, And the Angels Sing, New World Symphony (4th
Movement) and selections from My Fair Lady. Tickets are on sale now
at the ticket office in the Clubhouse.

During the January cold taste and color

snap, I didn’t take my daily
walk around the perimeter
road. But when the weather
did warm up a bit, and I did
walk, I was saddened to see
the damage the cold had done
to the leaves on the trees. But
this month, spring begins and
new leaves and blossoms will
cloak the vegetation in new
dresses of beautiful hues.
I always think of spring as

Sins of the Mother by Israel
Horovitz
Israel Horovitz’ record as
a playwright is truly remark-
able. He’s written over 70
plays, many still performed.
His works have been trans-
lated into 30 languages. Of
all American playwrights,
he’s the one most produced
in France. His play Line con-
tinues to run off-Broadway,
where it opened 37 years ago,
making it New York’s longest
running show. To top it off,
he turned 70 last year. By
way of celebration, he’s be-
ing honored with something
called 70/70 Horovitz Project,
with all of his plays being per-
formed in American theaters
across the country.
At Florida Stage in Manala-
pan, you can see one of his
newer works, Sins of the Moth-
er, through March 7. Act One
is set in a “Stevedores’ union

Our January meeting dealt
with RIA (ways to imme-
diately evaluate the extent
of damage after a disaster).
Participants worked in small
groups, viewing pictures
of structural damage and
flooding. These models were
used to complete a practice
exercise.
CERT members partici-
pated in the Susan G. Komen
South Florida Race for the
Cure of cancer. The race was
held on Saturday, January
30. Look for our photo in
this issue, page 46.
We sponsored a “Swine
Flu” program in the clubhouse
on Monday, February 15. The
Stressed • Depressed • In Pain
Palm Beach County Health
Department administered the
H1N1 influenza vaccine free
of charge. As of February 5,
over 100 residents had signed
up for the vaccine shots.
On February 15, we had an
interactive workshop on how
to conduct a triage and rapid
treatment. Please make a note
that our monthly meetings are
held on the third Monday, in
the Clubhouse Art Room, at 3
p.m., and you can learn from
these sessions. We welcome
new owners and seasonal
residents. Ongoing training
enables us to be prepared to
help our neighbors when an
emergency occurs. Join us —
no experience is necessary —
we will train you. o

Don’t Believe
Everything You Read
By Claudette LaBonte
Don’t believe everything
you read in the newspapers.
A few weeks ago, The Palm
Beach Post, following the
earthquake in Haiti, ran a
picture of a Royal Caribbean
ship in the harbor of Labadee,
which included many nega-
tive comments regarding the
emotional impact this would
have on the Haitians. In my
opinion, this article must have
been written by someone at a
desk who either needed a filler
or was near a deadline.
The last week of January, I
had the pleasure of being in this
same Haitian Harbor, watch-
ing the locals at work. Royal
Caribbean is associated with
the World Health Organization
and they were unloading much
needed medical supplies as
well as 200 pallets of food.
Labadee is Royal’s personal
developed area which includes
rentals of Skee-Doo’s, para-
sailing and other water ac-
tivities. Royal donated the
income for that day for a total
of $64,000. Royal has three
ships per week entering the
harbor doing the same thing.
I understand that the TV
ADVANCED MUFFLER & BRAKE
OF WEST PALM BEACH
A Full Service Automotive Repair Facility
newscasters make comments
on articles that have been
published, but they usually
have 30 second slots to give
highlights of their “items,”
and that a picture lasts forever.
As we pulled from the harbor,
the residents were waving
goodbye with smiles on their
faces. We could not tell if there
were tears in their eyes, but
there certainly were for those
of us at the rail, as we slowly
slipped away to our own reali-
ties. Paul Harvey used to say
“that’s the rest of the story”
(or something similar). In the
meantime, remember, don’t
believe everything you read
in the newspaper. o
