This is my first article about Century Village. There's so many things I see needing a little
TLC around here that one article is not big enough , so I'll be writing a lot more.
One thing I notice is that a lot of people get busy making a snowball then try to hand it to
me, I guess it's because they don't have the moxy to throw it themselves.
This is a snowball I made myself and now I'm going to throw it.
Being an old time sandhog tunneler from New York City, I believe in safety first.
I see the people walking out of the village at the Haverhill entrance, They cross the entrance
road by the guard house gate. I couldn't help but notice that the striping on that crosswalk needs to be
repainted because it's all worn out.
Geez, that's the next thing anyone sees when they come to Century Village after seeing the
wall at the entrance that looks like it was hit by artillery.
While the paint on the crosswalk fades away, the committees flutter around squabbling over
crumbs like the pigeons in my old neighborhood.
Who's to blame ? It could be the CAM or the vice presidents or some one on a committee or
whatever.
I hope they can figure out what to do with it before someone gets hit by a car. Drivers have to
yield to a crosswalk, but if they can't see it ? It could be the cause of a lawsuit that would make the lawsuits
against UCO look like chump change.
Maybe the board doesn't want to spend the money to paint it because they don't know what
they are going to do with the ratty paving job. Whatever the decide to do with the paving whether its repaving or topcoating, they'll have to restripe the whole village. The crosswalk should be repainted now
While the boards and committees have their meetings and donuts, there's real work being
ignored and snafus are everywhere.
Like my foreman in the tunnels used to say .. MAKE IT HAPPEN .. OR ELSE ! I can't
say that around here, some people might take it as a threat. But I can say: MAKE IT HAPPEN !

Freedom of information

Page 7

The Great and knowledgeable one, the UCO

President is missing the points and is
dragging all of us into a legal mire.Where
does he think that he has the inalienable right
to deny the Lawsuits that are coming and put
us all in jeopardy? Remember UCO is us. We
have been told this a number of times by the
UCO Administration Whose advice is he
following The Advisory Committee? The
Executive Committee? The Delegates?I don't
think so. He is following his own knowledge
and experience. Is this to be trusted? Does he
have any experience? Does he have any real
knowledge? Are we going to stand and let a
man that has no experience in legalities, in
defending lawsuits to guide us in these
matters? There is plenty of good advice within
the Village. There is Esther who is asking
good and concise and knowledgeable
questions, which are all ignored. There is Ed
asking terrific questions regarding how our
money is spent and what are the plans for the
future What is the problem bringing on all
these Lawsuits? It is the lackof Freedom of
information. It is the lack of Sunshine in the
UCO operations. What is wrong with being
free with information that shows how and
where our money is being spent? What are
they ashamed of? What are they afraid of?

Diogenes travels on, lantern held high, one

plodding step after another. His goal as
always; the truth, the explanation, the reason
why. Today Diogenesis is found walking
through the tropical paradise known as
Century Village, West Palm Beach in the
sunny state of Florida.
He sought a paradise of legend
where beautiful waters reflect the blue of the
sky on a sunny day amid gardens of exotic
trees and flowers. It was to be just that kind
of sunny day, so Diogenes eagerly awaited
the rise of the sun over
shimmering blue water. But
wait? What happened? Instead of
the blue, beautiful lakes he
expected .
He sees M..green?
Diogenes wipes his eyes, quaffs
a long draft from the flask of wine
on his belt, and looks again. He
sees waters that could use some
replenishment. "That will come
with the rains" he muttered, but
the color? The odor? The clogging fronds
ofMalgae?
Could this be the paradise of
green splashed with color and blue waters
that he had been led to expect? What went
wrong?
Thankfully, Diogenes was able
to use his lantern to see ahead of him and
there he saw a man who had been trying to
fish off a bridge. The man was slowly shaking
his head. He explained, in answer to the
questions of Diogenes, that fishing was no
longer a great relaxant for him, at least not
here in the Village. There is something wrong
with the water and the fish do not look
healthy, nor would I eat them. (Quite frankly,

if the water were back to blue! Too much runoff.)

Look at the algae, he said. It is clogging up the

waters and lending itself to the growth of
stagnant and smelly water and where are my
little turtles whose tiny heads I used to see
peeking out of the water? My grandchildren love
to come here to watch them.
` Diogenes was able to contact some experts
and share his concerns with them. They
explained that the Village had an arrangement to
get some recycled water to fill the lakes at times
of low water, a good thing,butM. This water had
some chemicals still remaining in it as it
flowed into the Village waterways, it is
those chemicals causing the problem in
the water. Diogenes praised the efforts
made to aerate the waterways, but
knows it is not enough. The villager's
priorities lie elsewhere." Are the
villagers too distracted by their daily
rituals to realize that without the beauty
of the lake and it's sparkling waters in
the sunlight, without lakes teeming
with the precious gift of life there would
be a great big hole in the fabric of the Village?
The experts said that testing by
outside sources and experts needed to be done
and plans made. It is not yet too late, but time
was quickly moving on.
Diogenes sent a message to his
friends in the Village.
I am moving on but will return. In
the meanwhile, please look to your surroundings
and do what must be done to bring back the
sparkling blue waters of your village. Find a way
to force the cleanup of the inflowing water and
please, YOU MUST take into account that this
water sprays all over the Village in irrigation and
fountains and hits not only the ground but often
people too. "Not good. Do something" he
neither would I, but I would not eat them even muttered as he plodded ever onward.

YOU FIX IT ! ... NO... YOU FIX IT !

The hole in the wall at the

Haverhill entrance to Century Village is still
there!
David Israel commented on his
blog, denying ownership of the wall, putting the
onus on Mr Waldman (owner of the defunct golf
course) to make the neccessary repairs.
We were not so sure. We
checked the facts. Staff in the county offices
are of the opinion that the wall is in fact owned
by three separate entities. Century Village,
Palm Beach County and Mr Waldman.
Does it really make a whole lot of
difference who actually owns it ? The cost of
repairs would be the responsibility of the
person who did the damage. Someone has to
take the lead in getting it done. UCO seems
content to accept David Israel's position.
Meanwhile the ugly, gaping hole
in the wall remains for the world to see.

Are you tired of hearing that your passwords are

not strong enough? Well, they probably aren't. In
order to keep as safe as possible on the internet,
you need very strong passwords. They should
never contain your maiden name, your parent's
names, your children's names, birthdays,
anniversaries, mother's maiden name, etc, etc,
etc. So you think that if you make a very strong
password, you will have difficulty remembering it.
Not so. It's doesn't have to be much of a problem
at all. Why not pick out a line from your favorite
song or poem, or a favorite quote? For example,
one of my very favorite songs is Twilight Time.
The first line of the song is; heavenly shades of
night are falling, it's twilight time. Take the first
letter of each word, and make that your
password. For the above song, that would be
'hsonafitt' Easy, isn't it? Now most passwords
require at least one number or alternate
character, so in the case of the password we just
created, we could satisfy that requirement by
changing what we have created just a little bit.
Example: hs0n@fitt. I now have a number and
an alternate character in my password, and it's
still very simple to remember. Why don't you give
it a try? But folks, please do not use the same
password for everything. That's a dangerous
thing to do. You can still use only one song, or
one poem, and create many, many passwords
from it, by choosing line one for one password,
line two for another, etc

the UCO Treasurer has

announced that we have over paid to the tune of

$69,000 to UCO, maybe because of the change
in the budget year. So he will clear this up next
month. After he is done, will we see a refund?
I have not seen the refund for the
WiFi charges that were turned down by the
entire Delegate Assembly yet. As a matter of
fact the Delegates turned down the WiFi
initiative, which is the reason for the Wifi refund.
So how come the Great One in
room 1 01 at 21 02 is pushing his latest, the
Broad Band initiative? Which is just another
name for WiFi. Is he planning on switching the
WiFi money over to the Broad Band money? I
wouldn't put it past him.
So things at the UCO
headquarters are going swimmingly. We pay,
they collect, and all is good. Just ask the
knowledgeable one, David Israel.
How about this? The Aids and
Cleaning people can buy Gate Passes. The
passes used to cost $3.00 a quarter, now the
price is $4.50 a quarter. So why is there a
charge at all. These are regular people that
have steady jobs in the Village. Do the Seacrest
people pay? Do the Gardeners pay? So why
charge the Domestics? Gary Olman

BETTIE BLECKMAN'S POST OF THE RESIGNATION OF THE CRAGG'S REMOVED FROM DAVID'S BLOG.

Page 1 2

This is a post that was left on the Our Village blog belonging to David Israel. He almost immediately
removed it, which we knew would happen but I was able to get it and post it here and on my blog. It
speaks of the resignation of John and Kitty Cragg when they were instructed that a very short,
minutes long, video of me talking about a book club, was withdrawn and no viable reason given.
This was delivered by the notorious Ed Black who by the way left another lovely message for me on
my blog. Guess your cough is better, huh, Ed. There was no mention or tie to any politics. This is
simply a continuation of David's attempt to rule the Village, tell us how to think, control over all. Time
to stand up folks. For more info, just go to my blog.

CHANNEL 63

Will the above channel the Village has come to rely

upon revert back to the "Olden Days" of Club
announcements etc.? Due to the resignations of
both Kitty & John Cragg, to whom we owe heaps
of "Gratitude" for not only their time, talent and
dedication, to improving both sound & picture
quality ( Comcast equipment, FINALLY brought up
to par, after several attempts by others who
failed to accomplish,what John Cragg, managed to
do in a two week window).in addition to the variety
of programing, that had been offered to inform and
entertain our residents, no longer exist? Channel
63 BELONGS to the ENTIRE community.Political
messages, other than Club Announcements
have not appeared to my knowledge..it was kept
civil, informative &; entertaining as it should be;
however, there are those, who due to an interview,
conducted by myself, over one month ago, which
has been aired, more than once, with the President
of one of our Book Club Reviews has now been
deemed "Unacceptable" All parties involved pre
production, including myself, would not have
WASTED our time on an "Unacceptable"
project....Remember, we all FUND THIS
CHANNEL....
