November 2009

From the Desk of President George Loewenstein
As we approach the end of the calendar year, associations should be busying themselves preparing their budgets for 2010. In doing so, please consider adding a line item called something like “uncollected maintenance fees” resulting from non-paying unit owners whose units are in foreclosure. There are several provisions contained in Chapter 718 (the Florida statute pertaining to condominiums) that I would like to remind board members of: 1 — within 90 days after the year end the association shall compile a financial statement for the past year, and, no later than 120 days after the year end, the board shall provide each unit owner with a copy of the financial statement or at least make it available to them at no charge. 2 — financial statements of associations whose total revenues are between $100,000 and $200,000 need have prepared a compiled statement. If the revenues are between $200,000 and $400,000 a reviewed statement and those whose revenue exceeds $400,000 will need an audited financial statement. Those associations where gross revenue is under $100,000 need only prepare a Report of Cash Receipts and Expenditures. The three types of financial statements mentioned above are prepared by Certified Public Accountants. Please also note that by a vote of all the unit owners, these requirements can be waived for up to two years. 3 — when it comes to taxes, most associations file an 1120H Federal form and a Florida Corporation annual report. Condominium records must be kept in Palm Beach County and no more than 4 miles from the association. I would also like to remind those unit owners who rent out their apartments that any rental less than six months is considered by Florida statute to be a short term rental subject to Florida room tax. Long term rentals (in excess of six months) are not subject. I came into the office of President almost 4 years ago, having to deal with an unfinished clubhouse and theater and a lawsuit against WPRF. Now, as I enter the last 4 months of my presidency, I am again dealing with a controversial subject — the golf course — which UCO as an

organization is opposed to a housing development on the property. I feel that it still has an obligation to the members of UCO (the unit owners) to provide a forum for them to hear for themselves and to see the proposed plans presented by the golf course owners. At the same time, the committee that has, I believe, seen the plans and is opposed to them should be given equal time to present their reasons for their opposition and give their recommendations as to what they would like to see done with the property. Hopefully, through a series of town hall meetings, we can accomplish this, but we need everyone’s cooperation in this effort. Lastly, please note that my day seems to consist of one meeting after another. It is a rare moment that I can sit at my desk and stare at my computer. Therefore, I ask that if anyone wants to meet with me, please call Mary Patrick Benton at the UCO office (who has my schedule) and make an appointment. That way, I will be able to devote the time to address your issue. Remember — all the officers are there to help. o

From the Desk of Vice President Jerry Karpf

As many of you know, Dan Gladstone and I have been working on developing water cut-off valves, which could be installed in every unit in the village, because of the vast amount of flooded units we have had so far. This year, the installation of this valve is of the utmost importance; if we don’t do something soon to prevent these floods, we may find that our insurance will increase considerably. One thing you should remember is that for every flood a unit has, the Association must pay a $5,000 deductible. The cost of installation will be $155 per unit for a standard setup. Only Licensed plumbers, who will get a permit for the entire Association, will do the installation. If you wish to have these cut-off valves installed, you can reach me at 683-9189 to set up an appointment for a plumber to come to your Association retrofitted with cut-off valves. Any time you go away, all you would have to do is shut off your water outside your unit. o

Dan Gladstone’s Advice:
Many Associations have responded to the idea that a main water valve next to the water meter, in a visible and feasible location, is an urgent necessity (see picture). Furthermore, the location must be in a convenient place where everyone can see it at any given time. If you put it in a remote place it will not be practical. This valve must alert everyone in the building that the water valve in a vacant apartment is open. This person can shut it off easily with a quarter turn. There is no need to call the water company. You can shut it or open it at will. The reward is huge. So do not wait, call Jerry or me at the UCO office to reserve a place for your Association. o

Clubhouse Theater

Fri., Nov. 6, 9:30 am

Delegate Meeting

The UCO Installation Luncheon is scheduled for Sunday, March 14, 2010 at the Marriott Hotel in West Palm Beach. This is a good time to notify your Association so that they may put the price of your tickets in their 2010 budget. We will be installing a new UCO President, Vice Presidents, Treasurer, Corresponding Secretary, and Recording Secretary. The Executive Board will be installed too. A delicious brunch will be served as well as music for dancing. The good news is that we have been able to keep the cost per person to $35. More information will follow as we get closer to 2010.

By Roberta Boehm Fromkin The Nominations Committee is now called the Search/ Nominations Committee. The committee will no longer select only certain nominees to become candidates, but will now serve the administrative function of compiling a list of all eligible nominees. The positions to be elected this year are: President, two Vice Presidents, the Treasurer and 20 members for the Executive Board. All eligible nominees may run for any office providing they meet the following requirements. For Officers, the requirements are: Membership in UCO, domicile and in residence in the Village for a period of not less than nine months a year during the term in which they serve. For Executive Board, the requirements are: Membership in UCO, domicile and in residence in the Village for a period of not less than nine months each year in which they serve, and must declare his readiness to serve on at least two committees. We will have a form, ready by November 10, to be picked up at the UCO office for each candidate to sign stating that he agrees to the above requirements. In addition to that form, each candidate will have to submit a biography stating his name, address, phone number, a short history and UCO and Century Village experience. The phone number will not be published, but used only in case we have to get in touch with the candidate. A picture accompanying the bio is necessary. The method in which a

After 10 successful years working in Century Village, Pat Blunck decided to return to his home state of Oklahoma. UCO was fortunate to acquire the services of Rodger Carver as Pat’s replacement as LCAM. Rodger brings 12 years of experience in building management, mostly with 55+ communities. Working in the Village is a natural progression from managing individual Associations- to being responsible for a whole community. His philosophy is that the “buck starts here” and that it’s his job to see that the individual residents are getting the safety and quality of life that they anticipated when they bought in the Village. Rodger feels strongly about keeping up his LCAM (Licensed Community Association Manager) credentials with at least 20 hours every two years in continuing education. In addition, he enjoys sharing the information that he has acquired from lawyers and insurance agents with Board of Directors and Officers so they can better run their Associations. Rodger believes in the team concept of management and looks forward to working with the UCO VPs

on many of the projects being undertaken. He has been particularly impressed with the integrity and pride that the UCO volunteers take in their jobs and how much they enjoy them and how proficient they are at them. He is a person who dislikes negativism and confrontations, preferring to listen to complaints and defuse situations and rectify problems where possible. A morning person, Rodger prefers to do the bulk of his work at that time, getting an early start on his projects for the day. Pat Blunck created the job and Rodger wants to make the job his by creating more consistency and harmony in the way residents deal with UCO. He would also like to open the lines of communication and reduce the number of rumors. Rodger is a people person, with a desire to help those who have some problems or complaints. With his background, he’s very knowledgeable of the workings of Associations and is looking forward to sharing his knowledge with those who avail themselves of it. He also appreciates the challenges that working in the Village will be, but looks forward to them. If you’re at UCO, stop by and say “Hi” and introduce yourself. You’ll enjoy the experience. o

Are You Interested? Maintenance Jerry Karpf Insurance Dan Gladstone

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 committee do not endorse or approve of any manufacturer, product, or contractor. All opinions of any lecturer are strictly their own and not those of UCO. This article cannot be used in any legal matter. We advised everyone present about the amount of water damage claims that have been occurring in apartments here in the Village. As of this writing, we have had over 55 claims submitted to the insurance company. If this type of loss continues, there is a very good chance that Associations will face a very large increase in insurance rates, unless we act proactively to do something to prevent apartments from water damage while unit owners are away. Note my article on the front page, which refers to cut-off valves. They will permit any member of the Association Board to shut off the water when a unit is unoccupied. A manufacturer’s agent was our guest, who described all the superior features of their windows. These include: all moving parts are stainless steel, 9/16” tempered hurricane-proof glass, and many other outstanding features. Most people apparently forget the patio door — having windows installed but doing nothing about a patio door that can be easily lifted out of its track — it is one of the most vulnerable points into your unit during a hurricane.

He described the type of patio door his company makes. Even though it weighs over 200 pounds, it can be moved with two fingers and will sustain the force of the strongest hurricane, and also prevent water from coming into your unit. It was pointed out that this company only does entire buildings, not individual units, because you can do one apartment downstairs, and if the upstairs unit has no hurricane windows the downstairs unit can still be destroyed by water from an unprotected unit. Our next guest was the president of operations, who explained the installation process, which is done entirely by their employees. They do not sell their windows to any other outlet or distributor. This line of hurricane windows carries a ten year warrantee on the windows, paint, and on the installation. Everything about these hurricaneproof windows is top of the line. At my request, this company has designed a patio enclosure that meets all Miami/Dade codes. It is far less expensive than any enclosure we have seen to date, with cost running between $3,600 and $7,000, depending on the size of a patio. I have saved the best for last: This company offers time payments for up to 25 years. Over the next several months, the company will be in the Village to check the various buildings that are interested in installing windows. Any Association that is interested in seeing a presentation on the hurricane-proof windows, patio enclosures, and patio sliding doors, feel free to contact me in the UCO office at 683-9189. o

Note: This article has photos. The epidemic of claims is still striking. Since my last report, more water damages have occurred, devastating the unit owners and the Associations. In some cases, the problem is noticed relatively quickly and thus “the public enemy number one” (i.e. Mold) is avoided. At the Delegate Assembly and on channel 63, I alerted the Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Co. policy holders that they should check their policy for form number 1732 0491R.This form widens your coverage from “named perils” to “All Risk” at a cost of approximately $36 a year. Our northern neighbors will

be coming back in a month or two. Do not wait for them to find water devastation in their unit upon arrival; check it for them today. Last month, the insurance companies denied four claims, two belonged to Associations and two to home owners. Only with the intervention of UCO, these claims are now being paid. It is important to focus on the importance of the professionalism that UCO provides in many ways and variety of subjects. Some residents find it hard to believe that all this fruitful work is carried on by volunteers, yes, only volunteers. The committees that UCO runs consist of enormous skills and motivation. o

By Dot Loewenstein Details were in our October issue, inviting those interested in a support group for caregivers of dementia/Alzheimer’s victims. Several responses have been received, but we can accomodate up to 25, so it’s not too late to reply. Final arrangements will be made at the end of November. Before we commit to the experts coming to us, and arrange space in the Clubhouse, we need you to respond and let us know you are interested. Although non-drivers are our main objective, this will of course be open to all residents. The Medical Center is working with us on this project, and hopes to move the meetings to their location by early 2010 — our buses stop at the door! Kindly provide your name, phone number, and preferred day of the week. Would you like monthly or weekly meetings? Either phone Courtney in the WPRF ticket office at 6403120 and give her the above info, or complete the survey form and drop it in the Suggestion Box at the Ticket Office. Thank you! o

Frankly Speaking: Vice President Frank Cornish
Here we are heading into fall and hopefully, we will continue, for the next two months, until December 1, to be spared yet another year of Nature’s wrath. However, for those of us “year round” residents, I would like to remind you, there is a group of volunteers, committed to your well-being, under adverse circumstances called “CERT,” currently chaired by Jackie Karlan. They meet monthly in the Clubhouse, the third Monday of the month, in the afternoon (usually follows the Transportation meeting). I know they would welcome all interested residents. I urge you to read Jackie’s column appearing elsewhere in the Reporter. In addition to preparing for hurricanes, we also have to look closer to home to see yet another threat to our communities — termites. Unfortunately, they exist all over the country. We are not exempt, but we can takes steps to prevent invasion. Every building should have ground bait traps in place to prevent sub-terranium infestations. Where there is dead wood or dry rot type damage left untreated, it will quickly invade the entire building requiring evacuation and tenting or new types of treatment suggested by some experts in the field. Also, should you bring any antique wood furniture into your home, make sure to double check to see that there are no tiny holes anywhere on the surface. In closing, once more I ask you to become involved in your Association. The end of the year is fast approaching, and elections are just around the corner. Submit your name as a candidate for your Board of Directors, volunteer to serve as your building’s alternate representative (replacing an absent officer) at the Delegates Assembly monthly meetings. Become informed; you live here, you owe it to yourself! As always, I can be reached at the UCO office during business hours. o

Open Clubhouse From the Desk of Vice President Bob Marshall
Those of you who read and remember last month’s article will see something very similar here this month. This month has continued the parade into my office of folks that have some serious situations in their Associations. Some have people who have moved into units that they now own but acquired by non-traditional means. One that comes to mind is/ was inherited (by a charitable organization) then sold to the present occupant. Neither party was apparently aware of the rules and regulations applying to Condos. The new owner is now living in the unit without benefit of investigation. Several Association Officers have come into the office to discuss what should happen when the outstanding mortgage balance due is higher than what the unit could possibly be sold for. This is sometimes termed as being “upside down.” It is not a good place to be! It is not good for those who may lose the unit but also not good for those who remain and then must help make up the additional expenses. Who is preparing your budget for 2010? A board member? An attorney firm? One of the maintenance companies? Whoever is preparing the budget needs to be certain that the 2010 budget has a bad debt line item to cover the expenses for the units that are not paying their share of the expenses. If your budget is prepared by your maintenance company, they should already know the amount to be added to the budget; however, if it is to be an attorney firm, for example, be sure you make them aware of these arrears. If some folks are behind with their payments and there is little hope this money will be paid in 2010, this line needs to be included so the board has enough money to cover all the bills that will be due. If you have other situations, stop by the office or call. I’ll meet with you or set up an appointment at a convenience to both parties, to attempt to help. Please check Channel 63 for further dates to make an appointment to have your cable box installed if you have not yet done so. Also check for the instruction dates if you are having difficulties operating the remote control. These dates have been announced for November and December. On channel 63, the dates for UCO meetings and UCO announcements are shown just prior to the top of the hour and a few minutes after, so there is no long wait to find the information you need. Since David Israel’s (VP) office is next to mine, I sometimes get advanced data! He is busy setting up the dates for January and February to help with all of the cable issues as the Seasonal Residents return. If you are just returning or you have not looked at Channel 63 for a while, please take another look. It has changed drastically. o

By Courtney Olsen The winter residents returning this month will be glad to know that there are many more classes and clubs available for the winter. You will see these advertised on Channel 63 and in the Ticket Office. For those who do not watch Channel 63, I will list a few that begin this month. All classes require registration in advance; Mah Jongg, Pan Card Game, Bridge, Crocheted Handbags, Dancercise, Folk Dancing and Stained Glass. These classes build your knowledge, strategy, and technique. The clubs starting this month are as follows: The Irish club, Chorus Tamalou, Fellowship and Getting Younger, Getting Better. Ballroom Dance Practice is a gathering for all of those who enjoy Ballroom dance and have nowhere to practice. This group meets every Sunday at 6pm in the party room; registration is not required, and you may show up at anytime. This & That discussion group has changed their meeting day; they will now meet the last two Tuesdays of every month, unless notified otherwise. They will meet upstairs in Classroom B from 1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. The Computer

OFFICERS

It all started in April 2006. We returned to New Jersey from Century Village and after spending 30-40 dollars every time we stopped for gas, we decided it was time for a change. We had a 2004 van which we thought we needed for the trip up and back every year. After careful consideration we purchased a 2006 Toyota Prius. We have nothing but good things to say about this car. It has lots of room because it is a hatchback and the seats fold down. It is a “fun” car to drive and we were getting 45 mpg. We kept the car for three years putting about 35,000 miles on it and never had a bit of a problem. In fact, we liked the car so much that in July of 2009, we bought a 2010 beautiful bright red Prius. The car has been improved and we now get 51 mpg. That is our experience with the Prius. If more people would buy these hybrid cars, our gas and emission situation would be greatly improved.

My heart is heavy as I recall the events that took place at the UCO office on Thursday, September 24, 2009 about 3 p.m. My husband was told that he could go into the President’s office to meet with him. An appointment had been arranged for 3 p.m. He was greeted at the doorway to the President’s office by two thugs who proceeded to push and shove him into the door. By the time he made his exit, about five minutes later, he was escorted by Dan Gladstone who took him into the men’s room and attempted to tend to his bleeding injuries.

Edie Levine cried out, “are you bleeding, are you bleeding?” Indeed he was, the blood stained pants can testify to that. The Sheriff’s office was called and a report was made. Later that afternoon (early evening) bleeding began again and we needed medical attention. I feel violated to think that mature adults would bring themselves down to this lowest level and in my own home community. It boggles my mind and try as I might to get over this incident, I’m still having a very hard time doing so. We don’t always agree with one another but this behavior was despicable. Shame on you!

At the Library Safety George Franklin

Ok, folks, it finally happened — “Signal 4” — that is the police dispatch signal for a motor vehicle crash. Today (not mentioning real date), while I was heading north in the rain on South Military Trail at 1:30 P.M. near the intersection of Forest Hill Blvd., I was stopped in the right lane for a red traffic signal. All of a sudden, wham!! I was struck from behind. I was hit so hard that the ash tray in my car popped out! I got out in time to see the driver of the vehicle that hit me lowering their hand with a cell phone in it. This driver never braked and just drove right into the back of my car that I had for four weeks and four days exactly. As of this time, I am writing this article. I do have a small pain in my neck above the right shoulder — no lie. Now what I can tell you is this: I was very lucky to be driving a very large vehicle while the other driver had a compact car. The damage to that vehicle was quite a bit. Mine, again from what I can see, seems to be superficial. Not yet sure, as the car has to be put onto a lift and checked for undercarriage damage. The rest is the Service Aide that did the crash report messed it up so badly that I had to go to the Sheriff Headquarters on Gun Club to report the errors and he was called in and had to redo the entire report. Ok, what’s the point in telling you this tale? Put the phone down and drive!!! Now, because someone was not paying attention and talking on a phone (allegedly) an entire half a day was wasted by this writer, not to mention vehicle damage to both cars, a Sheriff’s employee could have been doing other more important business, and so, three persons had their entire afternoon wrecked. As of 4:30 p.m., the other

person had not reported that crash to their insurance company. You may also be interested to know that there are three (3) types of crashes that are classified as non-preventable. The First is stopped at the direction of a Police Officer; the Second is stopped at a Traffic Signal; the Third is being struck while Properly and Legally Parked. Anything else and your insurance company will hammer you with premium increases or drop you all together. Now, if you are involved in a crash and before you leave the scene, check the paperwork given to you. Note to the officer: If anything he wrote is wrong, have it corrected at the scene. Stop with the cell phones already; Pay Attention and Drive Safely!! Until next time, be safe out there!! ********** Hi folks, we are getting very close to the season again. Please note that November 12th at 10:00 a.m., Room “C” in the Clubhouse, there will be a “Safety Town Hall Meeting.” We have secured four of the best speakers in the area to talk on Safety Issues that affect your daily lives here in Palm Beach County. These speakers are very dynamic individuals and will cover Fraud, Crime Prevention, Prosecution, and Not Being a Victim of Every Day Scams. Trust me on this, you won’t fall asleep listening to them! You do not want to miss this meeting! If just one person is saved from being a victim, this meeting is well worth the time. I do suggest that building officers attend. Feel free to bring a guest with you. This is an open meeting for all! For further information, watch Channel 63 and/or call George at 471-9929. Looking forward to seeing you all there! Come One, Come All, Come Early!! o

Community Emergency Response Team

CERT:

Jackie Karlan

Team Members Wanted! No Experience Necessary. We Will Train. In 2003, the Federal Government selected the CERT program as one of the volunteer programs that would help to make communities safer and better prepared to respond to disasters of all kinds. Century Village has a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). After three hurricanes, it became apparent that a comprehensive plan for the entire Village was needed. The Century Village CERT program was established. The CERT Team provides support for public safety by providing community education as well as acting as an additional resource during emergency situations. CERT volunteers are not intended to replace emergency responders. We provide basic care until emergency responders arrive on the scene. Since the inception of this program, several of our mem-

bers have sold or moved on. The number of active members is small when compared to our resident population. We need to train new members. Join CERT, share your skills and interests via the CERT Group. (On site classroom training is available.) Often heard are these comments: “I would have helped but I didn’t know what to do or where to go”…“Nobody told me about”…“I have some mobility limits, what can I do?” Everyone can help. CERT is about training you to be of assistance and doing so safely. CERT meetings are held the third Monday of each month, 3:00 p.m., in the Clubhouse. Many thanks to the CERT Sub-Committee for their time and efforts. Committee Members: George Loewenstein, Ed Black, Rhea Cohen, John Hess, Claudette LaBonte, Lori Torres, Lea Zimmerman. Special thanks to John Hess for his research and collaboration. For further information call 561-478-8679. o

Page 12 THE UCO REPORTER November 2009 lieves, from the old equipment at the airport which pulled the luggage carts. The trams were open air carts (a la Disney) but they could be covered if rain was predicted. They had limited mobility and could tip. However, this was the travel of choice on Saturday nights to go to the Clubhouse and attend the theater performances. On show nights, they would double up the routes so everyone could get to the Clubhouse. The tugs were then replaced by two Cushman carts and also Jeeps. The transit retirees became the village drivers. The trams, however, were not registered vehicles and could not leave the Village. After a period of time, old city buses, known in the Village as the “Blue Bombers,” were purchased. Apparently there was an area of land on Okeechobee that was owned by Mr. Levy that had a gas station on it. There was a mechanic on duty to service and repair both the trams and buses. They also bought very old buses and put them on the back lot of the station in order to cannibalize them for parts to keep the “Bombers” running. When the buses were introduced, this now allowed the residents to expand their travel to Publix, Kmart and to the Palm Beach Mall after it was constructed. Other transportation that came to the Village during the formation years was the County Bus Route #4 and CoTran, which is now Palm Tran. I hope you have enjoyed your trip down memory lane. The nostalgia picture shows Steve Schwartz, Al’s son, driving the second Jeep from the left. If you recognize any of the other drivers, you may forward your information to the Mail Bag and we will include it in our next issue. o

Transportation Claudette LaBonte

Rather than speak about new restaurants or bus routes, I am going to share a little transportation history with you. For the new residents, you may find this very interesting, and for those of you who go back to the beginning times of Century Village, please reminisce with me. But first, did you know that the UCO Reporter was once known as “The Village Voice”? I recently met a very interesting gentleman by the name of Steve Schwartz. His mother had recently passed and he came to my home for me to bring the Sales Agreement to the UCO office and I took the time to listen to his story which I am now sharing with you. The story is about his father, Al Schwartz, who came to the Village in the “Red Buttons Era” of the 1970s and retired from the New York City Transit Authority. He decided

this was the place to come for retirement and, by word of mouth, approximately six other transit employees followed him to what he called “his little paradise.” Al met Mr. Levy, who was on the premises at that time, following the various construction sites and Mr. Levy thought it would be a great idea for him to set up a transit system for the Village. During this period, Haverhill North was nothing more than farms. The biggest adjustments from New York were that the area that had no idea what a bagel was, couldn’t even remember when pizza came to the area and there was relatively no place to go and eat. (Can you imagine?) The Village was the most exciting place around. Al and his friends began setting up a tram system. The trams were actually pulled by old tugs purchased, he be- File photo: Tram ride to history.

Clubhouse Library

By Dot Loewenstein October has arrived and some of our snowbirds have returned. We have a new volunteer at our library, and as always, when we add a new volunteer to the list on display there, we highlight the name. It always thrills us to stop in and see how neatly our books and magazines are arranged. For myself, I’m lucky if I can find 20 minutes a few days a week to — what is the Army expression — “field dress” the place. Readers may not realize that the schedule of people working on certain days does not require them to be there, for example, from 9 until 1. There is no set time for each one, and some have been known to work a lot more than four hours, while others, like me, may only have 20 minutes to spare, between buses. The thing that I find most amazing is that they may come in one day in the morning, another week in the afternoon, and even at night, before or after a show — there is no set time for volunteers to come in. Thus, when you are trying to read

quietly, or work on a jigsaw puzzle, if you notice someone coming in and straightening out the books, feel free to ask if they are today’s volunteer. Take a moment to say thanks. We often compare our library to the Public Library where jigsaw puzzles are not invited, nor are chess players. Yet, sometimes our residents don’t realize how lucky we are to have these facilities at our fingertips. Occasionally some take advantage and break the rules, which results in everyone being penalized. Once again, we must remind the puzzlers that there are two specific tables for your use — they can be easily recognized by the silver-toned bases, which keep the tops from being rotated. When the tops are rotated, they are actually being unscrewed and can cause an accident if someone leans on them. Please observe this safety rule. Recently, there has been a complaint about the noise created by the “time” gadget which aids the chess players. Evidently it is not being tapped as lightly as would be preferred by the readers. Perhaps this can be a more quiet activity. o

Plans for the Old Turtle have an even nicer view with Waldman be able to present A Grimm’s Fairy Tale village...but we see through the lakes and surrounding his plans to the officials of the There she lay looking so the stories. We want our VilBay Golf Course
Recently I was invited to a meeting in someone’s home to meet Drew Waldman, the developer of what was the former Turtle Bay golf course. Mr. Waldman and two of his assistants shared his plans with us, showed us a large, color-coded map of what his development would look like, gave us an opportunity to express our concerns about this property which adjoins the Village, and allowed us unlimited time for questions. This was an enlightening and helpful time, because until then, despite the fact I had been to many Delegate Meetings, I really didn’t understand what was going on relative to the old golf course. Others who attended felt the same. Mr. Waldman’s stated plans are to have moderately-priced housing, varied in style, a maximum of 550 units in all, in a village-type setting — that is, with some small shops and stores for use by the residents. These shops would not be there for use by the general public, but Mr. Waldman would welcome an arrangement whereby people in Century Village could patronize them. In fact, Mr. Waldman made it clear several times that he looked forward to doing almost anything cooperatively with the Village. I was puzzled when I first saw the large map showing his development and the edge of our Century Village property. There were two large lakes — were they ours? No, they explained, these were lakes on their property that they would build, which would not only provide some pleasant scenery, but also form a kind of buffer zone between their housing and our Village. In other words, the lakes, not their housing, would abut most of our property. I was heartened by what I learned at this informal meeting. It seemed from the plans that those Villagers who live with a nice view of the golf course would now perhaps grass areas. It seemed too that with this buffer zone, we might not have to be as concerned as we were with Village break-ins. The plans are not for this to be lowincome housing, which might well bring in a bad element. It is possible that not only the lakes, but their village as well will provide our Village with a buffer zone from crime. I know nothing about the legal aspects of this, but I believe Mr. Waldman seemed amenable to our putting up a fence if we wanted to have one. Perhaps in whatever negotiations are involved, this could be written in as okay to do if we felt in the future we wanted it. There is no fence now, I might note for those who don’t know. I understand that many Golf’s Edge residents like their view without a fence being interposed. Plus, a fence would be expensive, as Dave Israel pointed out at this meeting, costing maybe well over $100,000. Something has to be done eventually about the former golf course land if what I’ve been told is true, that Turtle Bay was a losing proposition and another golf course simply is not in the cards. It seems to me that what Mr. Waldman plans could very well be a plus for the Village and the general area in which we live. As one person at the meeting pointed out, the best overall solution for high-crime areas in decline is to step-by-step improve them with good neighbors. This person described how this was done in Hoboken, NJ, a successful effort which then spread to some surrounding towns. The one thing I am uneasy about is the added traffic. Mr. Waldman did not have an answer for this, saying this would be a matter for the county or town to work out. I would guess at the least, it would mean another traffic light on Haverhill between our entrance and Okeechobee. I would like to see Mr. Village and enter into discussions with them. I understand there has been an ad hoc “golf course committee” in the Village for some time. This is fine, and it is quite natural, given that these people abut the golf course. But neither they nor groups like the one I attended represent the Village as a whole, and the whole Village has a concern about what replaces the golf course. After Mr. Waldman and his assistants have met as many times as they need to with a legally representative committee of Village officials, then there could be a presentation at a Delegates Meeting. Lanny Howe beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her. The prince bent down and gave her a kiss. As their lips met, sleeping beauty opened her eyes. She looked up and smiled. They lived happily ever after. Here is another fairy tale: If the golf course is developed, we will have citrus trees, parks, lakes, added security and no traffic problems. How can we trust the Waldmans who have been telling the golf course committee for years that they didn’t buy the golf course to develop it, when in fact, the year Waldman bought the golf course is the same year that he and the builder, D.R. Horton attempted to develop the property. Was the golf course intentionally run into the ground so that Waldman could ask the county to change the zoning?!? The truth is, we will have: • 800 more cars on our local roads • Garbage trucks • School buses • Teenagers rowing across the lakes and climbing fences • No run off for our rain water • Extra costs for the Village residents to maintain parks and lakes • Higher taxes to pay for the changes to our infrastructure The Waldmans bought this golf course to “flip it’’ as they did down the road on Belvedere. Sorry, they have made a bad investment. We have the Plat 14 and the property is deeded “recreational use only” — in perpetuity. We, the Village, have defeated one of the largest builders in the united states who was looking to build on the golf course. He was forced to walk away, and we can do it again. The Waldmans’ hands are tied and the “pie in the sky” promises fall on deaf ears. We are all together in this — and don’t forget —we the people have the power!!! Sorry, Waldmans...you can have all the sandwich and coffee meetings at a condo in the lage to remain the same paradise it is. Sandy Cohen Member of the Committee to Save the Golf Course

A History of the ProActive Committee to Save the Golf Course

U
A Tale from Cambridge B: Part III
On Monday, October 5, my wife and I hosted Mr. Andrew Waldman and Mr. Greg DuBoise in our home. Mr. Waldman is the owner of what used to be our golf course. We spent a pleasant hour and a half discussing his plans for the property. As I stated in previous articles, our greatest concerns are security and traffic problems. Mr. Waldman presented a glowing picture of the community he hopes to build on the property. It would be a beautiful development of five hundred to five hundred fifty residences. He described his vision of a self-contained, gated community. We found his presentation very interesting; however, he failed miserably to address our most serious concerns. If and when Mr. Waldman can totally assure me that the traffic and security issues have been properly satisfied, I would feel better about his project. Al Thomas

On April 5, 2005, representatives of D.R. Horton, a large national real estate developer made a presentation to the residents of Century Village to develop the property on the Golf Course. More than 1,200 people were in attendance. There was tremendous opposition to the development. The UCO administration at that time did not support the opposition to the development, therefore several days later a group of residents who live facing the golf course and several golfers called a meeting to plan how to handle a united effort to force the developer to discontinue any plans for development. This was an ad-hoc committee of concerned residents. It was established and registered then as a Not For Profit Corporation with the State of Florida with a full compliment of Corporate Officers. This strong opposition was successful in driving a powerful developer away. Over the years this committee acting on behalf of all the residents was able to keep the owner of the golf course from pursuing plans with other developers. Now that the golf course is closed the owners are once again attempting to plan a housing development on that property. Recently at a Delegates meeting a motion was made to have the present UCO administration support the residents in opposition to the owners plans. Therefore, Town Hall meetings are planned to discuss how to continue the opposition to any housing development on the golf course. Honey Sager Vice President Pro-Active Committee

Drama Club
Molly Podorzer This is to let you know what a treasure we have in the CV Drama Workshop Club. Sydelle Banks, who has quite a background as a musician and in the theater, started the Drama Club. On Monday, Labor Day, 9/7/09, Temple Anshei Shalom of CV sponsored a barbeque as a fundraiser. The Drama Club volunteered to be the entertainment. The event was held in the Social Hall, consisting of two rooms and 22 tables. They were set up from front to back and wall to wall. The day before, Gerry Medman and Leo Aronson spent several hours setting up the sound system of several mikes to make sure everyone could hear, wherever they were seated. Everything worked perfectly. The next day — after 200 people were fed — the Drama Club presented several skits and a short play. They were funny, amusing, interesting, clever and entertaining. The 16 performers did an excellent job. Unfortunately, the microphones did not work well, but Gerry and Leo managed to get them working properly. In spite of this setback, the performers were professional and came through. I advise anyone who has had secret desires to act and perform on the stage — join the Drama Workshop Club — everyone is welcome. It’s never too late — have fun.

Recipes Avis Blank

My mother was at her wits end when I was five years old. “How was she going to get Avis to eat breakfast on school days?” The transition from kindergarten to first grade was very difficult for me. I was more interested in getting ready for school than to take the time to eat breakfast. Mother tried to entice me with all kinds of delicacies without results. A glass of milk was all I could manage to swallow before heading out for school. A private consultation with a dietician didn’t change my mind. One morning, mother was exceptionally creative. I tasted her new creation, loved it and the family applauded when I ate every bite of my first “school breakfast.” Try this simple recipe for

all the fussy breakfast eaters in your family. I am sure it will please them. Jam ’n’ Cream French Toast • 2 thick tablespoons cream cheese, softened • 2 thick slices cinnamonraisin bread • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam • 1 egg • 1 tablespoon butter • Maple syrup, optional Spread cream cheese on one slice of bread. Spread jam on the other slice; place jam side dawn over the cream cheese. In a shallow bowl, beat egg. Dip both sides of bread into egg. In a skillet, melt butter; cook bread for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with syrup if desired Yield: 1 serving. o

Rumors have been running rampant about cancellation of the WPRF Halloween Dance, and I have been the recipient of some anonymous letters and messages even referring to me as having “Gestapo-like tactics,” so please read this to dispel any myths that have been circulating. Yes, it is true that WPRF is not sponsoring the Halloween Dance this year (October 2009). This decision was made by the UCO Operations Committee shortly after last year’s event. Costuming was discussed, including three costumes that were brought to the Committee as “inappropriate.” At the time of that decision, the Committee also scheduled a Thanksgiving 2009 Dance to replace Halloween 2009, and that Thanksgiving Dance is scheduled for Saturday, November 21. WPRF will be decorating and providing entertainment for the Thanksgiving Dance just as we did for Halloween. In addition, attendees will receive table prizes and door prizes. We expect this to be a very festive pre-holiday event. The UCO Operations ComContinued on Page 32

Anita J. Cruz VP, WPRF, Inc.

Even as activity increases every Fall in our Clubhouse, Hastings Fitness Center and at our pools, we continue on with maintenance of the WPRF facilities. Our goal is to make your visits to our facilities pleasant, safe and comfortable. Our staff is at work daily doing those things that are never noticed when taken care of, but are obvious when forgotten. I trust that you find our facilities clean and well maintained whenever you visit. Despite our diligence with normal, continuing maintenance, one of our maintenance staff’s most difficult and disheartening tasks is cleaning up after acts of vandalism. During the past two months alone, we have responded to and cleaned up after two separate vandalism incidents, both at the Somerset pool area. Someone chose to deface the outside of the Somerset bathhouse with permanent marker writings,

and the Men’s Bathroom was the next target with glossy black spray paint graffiti all over the tile walls. Cleaning up after vandalism and/or making repairs when needed pulls our staff away from their assigned tasks and ultimately costs you, the residents. Please report any suspicious behavior to security. Our 2009-10 season is just getting underway with a wonderful lineup of shows to please all tastes in entertainment. We would be happy to provide you with regular updates by e-mail to keep you abreast of show changes as well as provide you with information about upcoming shows and performers. If you would like to receive these email updates, please fill out a request form in our Ticket Office and your updates will begin the following month.

Stamps in the News Syd Kronish

The Big Parade Is Coming The bands are marching. The festive balloons featuring favorite comic characters are blowing in the breeze. Numerous floats showing wellknown theatrical performers are joining the celebration. Yes, it’s the Thanksgiving Day Parade seen by millions on TV and many thousands of cheering bystanders along the route. To help hail the fun and frivolity of the parade throughout the nation, the U.S. Postal Service will issue four attached stamps, displaying the sites as mentioned above. Illustrated are marching bands and balloons as well as happy onlookers. Big parades are held every year in many cities in the country on the fourth Thursday in November, participating in the traditional day of togetherness, when Americans of all backgrounds sit down to the holiday dinner and give thanks for their bounty. The most famous of Thanksgiving Day Parades, of course, is the one sponsored by Macy’s Department Store in New York City. For over 75 years, this store has displayed a tradition which both celebrates America on this day and calls for an upcoming Christmas. Santa Claus on his sleigh enters the parade at the end. The first Macy’s Parade, in 1924, was called “The Macy’s Christmas Day Parade,” but in 1927 it was re-named the Thanksgiving Day Parade. With many marching bands from all over the country, it has also included live animals, such as camels, goats, elephants, and donkeys. The route of the parade started at 145th Street and traveled almost 5.5 miles to 34th Street and Herald Square, the sight of the store. The parade was cancelled during World War II, but returned in 1947. In 1948, TV began its broadcasting of the event. Onlookers were happy to see new balloons each year with Walt Disney characters. In the past 77 years, the parade has attracted a sea of celebrities. The years have seen Harpo Marx, Jackie Gleason,

Bob Hope, Diana Ross, Sammy Davis, Jr., Tony Bennett, Barry Manilow and Shania Twain. The new quartet of stamps dedicated to the Thanksgiving Day Parade are now available at your local post office. For further information on first day covers, you may call 1-800-STAMP-24. o

By Louise Gerson We do investigations for sales, rentals, and requests for occupants to live with owners and deed transfers. Please keep your Associations advised when you have added names to your deed. A picture ID is needed for rentals and occupants along with your Social Security

number as proof of your age. For buyers and additions to deeds we still need a picture ID for proof of age, plus proof of your financial income and your Social Security number. If you are a married couple with different last names, please show us a marriage license with both names on it. The earnings minimum is $1,750 for a single person or

$2,500 for a married couple. Because of foreclosures of apartments, the Associations should be made aware what income is high enough to meet your monthly obligations for maintenance and clubhouse fees, besides your own day to day expenses. When some owners are not paying their monthly assessments, then it means all other

owners in that building must pay for them. Everything here is strictly confidential. Welcome back snowbirds! A big thank you to all those who took care of their Associations and kept things together during the summer. o

WPRF

mittee has recently voted to reinstate the Halloween Dance effective with October 2010 Halloween. It was impossible to add the dance to this year’s schedule (2009) because of pre-existing contractual obligations with entertainers and budgetary limitations resulting from the Committee’s decision. However, this year Halloween falls on a Saturday, which is a regular dance night — free of charge you may attend the dance in whatever costume you choose, decorate your own table and bring whatever food and drink you and your guests would enjoy. WPRF looks forward to once again sponsoring the Halloween dance in 2010. Effective October 1st, WPRF has implemented a more diligent check of the facilities to ensure that all guests are authorized to use the facilities. You will find new signage added to the Clubhouse grounds to alert those attempting to bypass security and go directly to the pool areas that they will be required to show proper WPRF IDs. This measure has been taken to ensure that you, the residents who pay the maintenance fees to maintain the facilities, are not also paying for your neighbor’s friends and relatives who bear no part of the cost of maintaining these facilities. So please be sure that you have your WPRF ID card with you at all times when enjoying the use of our facilities, since you will be subject to random ID checks. Some of our residents have been making photocopies of their WPRF ID cards and attempting to use these copies to gain admittance through the gates and/or to WPRF facilities. Whenever a photocopied ID is presented, our guards are instructed to confiscate that photocopy and return it to our ID office. WPRF then maintains a record of those who have chosen to use their own photocopied ID card(s) as part of that resident’s permanent record. I strongly urge every resident to refrain from this practice, and simply present the WPRF-issued ID card when requested to do so. As we look forward to the coming winter holidays, please remember to be kind to one another and go about your days in a spirit of peace. These past months have been replete with random acts of aggression and malice, which I hope to see replaced with random acts of kindness. Be well. o

In addition to the doves, we have the raucous voices of the Blue Jay to start the day demanding peanuts, which one hides in the windshield wiper area of my car for a “rainy day.” Blue Jays must have some redeemable qualities to make up for the noise they make so that is why they are a beautiful bird. They sport a crest; have a black neck band and a blue back, tail and wings. They have white spots on wings and tail and a dull gray underbelly. If they are given nuts with a shell, they will sit on a branch with the nut held between the feet and hammer it with their beaks until it is open. Enjoy your world. o

From the Desk of Commissioner Jeff Koons

Thank You, Syd Kronish

Tri-Rail: A Model for Central Florida You’ve heard the expression, “there’s strength in numbers.” Well, that’s the approach I’m taking in trying to persuade state lawmakers to approve a dedicated funding source for our commuter rail system, Tri-Rail. Recently, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer paid us visit. He is chairman of the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority, which is planning to launch its own 61-mile commuter rail system, SunRail, in 2011. As chairman of the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, I was more than happy to give Mayor Dyer a transit tour so he could see for himself what makes Tri-Rail so successful. This was my fourth tour in the past month with elected officials interested in expanding their transit services. We spent the day meeting with legislators and business leaders discussing everything from the need for a dedicated funding source, to coordinating support of the federal government, to receiving stimulus funds for Amtrak and high-speed rail throughout the Eastern Seaboard and Central Florida, as well as reviewing unresolved issues relating to last year’s filed state legislation. A cohesive rail network is essential for future growth and development in Florida. Approving some type of dedicated funding source will result in the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs in construction, transit operations and other ancillary businesses that will benefit from the growth of transit. Most importantly, linkage of rail systems will take more vehicles off our congested roads, making Florida a cleaner, greener place. Palm Beach County continues to demonstrate its commitment to support public transportation. Out of the $44 million of gas taxes we anticipate collecting in 2009, $30.5 million (69%) is going to mass transit, with $13.5 million going to the Road Program, which, in addition to road construction includes pathways, street lights, beautification and

general road maintenance. Like us, Orlando needs a dedicated funding source for rail, such as a two dollar surcharge on rental vehicles, something our county lobbyists and I have been touting in Tallahassee for several years. Although Tri-Rail continues to set ridership records, it can’t function on fares alone. Palm Beach County is subsidizing Tri-Rail to the tune of $6.7 million this year and $4.3 million next year. Unfortunately, it’s easy for lawmakers to say no to providing state dollars for a “local” service far removed from the state capital. But suppose it becomes a regional request: South Florida plus metro Orlando, along with maybe Tampa and Jacksonville — four major metropolitan areas that represent more than half the state’s population. Those are the kinds of numbers that get lawmakers’ attention. I firmly believe that regional transportation systems are the future of urban public transit. We can no longer do it on a city-by-city or county-bycounty basis. SunRail officials were very impressed with how efficiently Tri-Rail moves commuters between Miami and Mangonia Park, approximately the same distance they are planning with SunRail. Several said they appreciated our sharing some of the pitfalls they should expect as they get up and running. I am looking forward to a great working relationship with Mayor Dyer and the transportation officials of Orange County, as we help move Florida toward becoming a more transit-friendly state. We’ll be traveling together with similar messages, going through the same permitting process to receive federal dollars, maybe even buying insurance together at a cheaper rate. The time is right for this type of partnership. We have an administration in Washington that recognizes the value of public transportation, and if we pool our lobbying resources effectively, there are unprecedented opportunities for expanded rail interconnectivity. o

I would very much like to thank you for being our guest speaker at our September 28th meeting. I would like to commend you on the presentation you gave. Your veteran’s service and knowledge of the Chanukah stamp. You had the attention of all of us, also very interested with your becoming a columnist and your interest in sports. The naming of all the Jewish baseball players that you interviewed came to mind. Quite a lot of them. I am sure you felt very comfortable with the response you received with the questions too. Again from the JWV Post #520 and myself, a Big Thank You. Samuel Rosen Sr. Vice Commander Jewish War Veterans Post #520

Kurt’s Opinions Kurt Weiss
hassee and Washington would decide to continually ignore the meetings of the body to which they were elected. The October meeting of the Delegate Assembly is one of the most important, when the 2010 Budget was decided. If your Association or your delegates are again A.W.O.L., you will have to forego the right to complain and the pleasure to criticize. This is not something that can be changed by an edict. It is something that is up to you and the understanding — or lack thereof — that this Village in which you live requires your active participation in the decision making process. o

A.W.O.L. In the September 4th meeting of the Delegate Assembly, 178 Associations were A.W.O.L. (Absent without Leave). This is almost sixty Associations of Century Village. This is not a new phenomenon. We are kidding ourselves when we declare that this Village is run democratically and we the owners or our representatives make the decisions. Bear in mind that even the forty percent of Associations who participate in Delegate Assembly meetings are not always represented by all their delegates. I wonder how you would react if your elected representatives and senators in Talla-

We are on schedule for the Dessert Buffet honoring our Centenarians on October 29, 2010, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the Party Room at the Clubhouse. The party will be a success because of commitments by committee members Leslie Darrigan, Phyllis Frishberg, Jackie Karlan, Betty Lapidus, Eileen Pearlman, Myrna Schecter, Maria Levy and Lori Torres. Leslie Darrigan sends a Happy Birthday Card from UCO Community Relations to each Centenarian. Jackie Karlan and Lori Torres received a $50 contribution from Seacrest Services. Eileen Pearlman has been working with State Representative Mark Pafford relative to local media and press coverage of our Dessert Buffet.

The site amiannoying.com ranks celebrities, public figures and weighs them as to whether they’re annoying. Among their pronouncements: They were the “Fab Four” of the 60s: John, Paul, George, Ringo — the Beatles! Why they’re annoying: They were together for less than ten years. Why they’re not: Their American debut was among the highest rated shows of all time. Jessica Simpson, famous for her pants (she wore Daisy Dukes in the movie The Dukes of Hazzard), her singing, and her shoes ($50 at department stores). Why she’s annoying: After claiming to not know the difference between tuna and poultry, the company behind Chicken of the Sea hired her as a spokesmodel. Why she’s not: Because she’s hot. Now in its 20 th season, NBC’s Law and Order lays down the law by way of its internal order of police investigation followed by courtroom prosecution. Why it’s annoying: Stories are “ripped from the headlines.” Why it’s not: It spun off two additional shows. From the Internet

This & That Dr. Marilyn Ducati
I just finished reading Betrayal: The Life and Lies of Bernie Madoff by Andrew Kirtzman. Wow! I couldn’t put it down. It had me wondering how we know the people surrounding us, and our relationships with them. In Madoff’s world, money was the key to happiness. I’m pretty sure that if we asked Century Villagers what they would rather have—lots of money or good health—they would choose the latter. Ah! It’s the end of summer — how nice — weather cooling and snowbirds and snowflakes returning, which means our choices of clubs and activities have expanded, such as my discussion group “This and That” the last two Thursdays of every month. So, let us hope that with holiday time approaching, most of our boys and girls will come home! Without writing anything political (Irv Lazar will censor me), let’s pray our politicians make the right decisions. Seen a good movie lately? May I suggest Eccentricities of a Blonde Haired Girl? No! It’s not about me. It’s a recessionage fable which revolves around love, work and family pressures, it’s worthwhile to watch. My next topic at This & That will be loneliness. Meeting other people with similar problems should have a healing effect. I say that not as a therapist, but a woman who has spent many hours of loneliness. I found by sharing, you are with many others who find their lives impacted with the pain of loneliness, we are far from unique. o

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. to Wal-Mart, returning at 2:10 p.m. 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 November trip is on November 9th. 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 November 25th, 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.

Loving Frank by Nancy Horan is a beautifully written novel based on the true story of the noted architect Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheny. This book has something for everyone — a romance, a history of architecture and a philosophical debate on the role of women in the early twentieth century. It also provides glorious descriptions of art and the culture of the time. It is the story of the ill-fated affair which started in Oak Park, Illinois in 1907 and lead to several cities in Europe and then back to Wisconsin, to “Taliesin,” the home Wright built for Mamah. Horan sticks closely to the facts that she gathered from old newspapers, letters and from Mamah’s diary. She relates how the couple is vilified by the press for abandoning their spouses and children and for trying to build a life together. Cheny’s reputation is

destroyed because she acts like an “unnatural mother.” Horan brings attention to Mamah the woman, the wife, the mother, the intellectual, the feminist and, of course, the lover and adulterer. Cheny is a strong willed woman and Horan spends most of the story trying to justify her actions. She does not sugar coat the damage Mamah’s decisions made about her relationship with her children, her sister and her friends. The conversations the author invents between Mamah and Frank, as between all of the characters, can hardly be actual but she makes them believable. Additionally, this book adds a human dimension to Wright, the great American architect that you won’t find in history books. I found this novel to be an engrossing and compassionate story which is grounded in fact and is an excellent source of history and the ending will shock you as it did me. o

CAR SERVICE

On October 1, 2009, new signs were installed at the swimming pools of the Clubhouse telling everyone that ID will be necessary at all WPRF pools and facilities. This is not a new rule; just a reminder of the rule that has been in existence since the pools were built. The guards have been asked to check IDs and will ask you to show your ID or leave the area. In an effort to find out why so many people break the transponder gates, we found: • Tailgating (following too close to another car), • A nonresident driving a resident’s borrowed car and claiming that they did not know that the gate computer

only allows one car at a time, • New owners not remembering how to use the transponder lane and the “must stop” rule. We had the 365 people that were unable to enter the Village on their first try because the resident did not call them in (including one by me!). Please call in all guests and service people (ie: A/C repair) because the time delay you cause can hurt you and those in following vehicles waiting to get in. Finally, we all have our name on a separate badge now and I would be very happy to hear some of the nice things that the guards do for you. Please, feel free to call me. o
