Board of Directors of COOCVE:
Meets THIRD TUESDAY
of the Month at 9:30 a.m.
in the Party Room
VOLUME 39, NUMBER 02
Candidates Needed
By ELECTION COMMITTEE
Y
ou can make a difference and help ensure
that Century Village East continues to be a wonderful retirement community that has
excellent entertainment and
recreation set in an environment of woodland preserves
and waterways.
CVE has 8,508 units that
are grouped in 253 buildings called Associations. The
Associations comprise the
Condominium Owners Organization of Century Village
East, (COOCVE). COOCVE
engages with Association
Boards and their residents.
The COOCVE Board of Directors also elects the Master
Management Board members
who oversee the professional
staff that is responsible for
providing community services and caring for commu-
nity facilities. The Recreation
Committee supervises and
administers the Recreation
operating costs. The Recreation Committee is elected by,
and reports to, the COOCVE
Board of Directors.
CVE needs elected leaders
who engage with civility and
make wise decisions that are
sustainable and cost effective. CVE needs leaders who
appreciate the wonderful
diversity of CVE residents.
CVE leaders can bring the
community together. This is
a wonderful opportunity for
any resident whose Association is in good standing with
COOCVE to step up and
bring some new ideas and
suggestions for running our
community.
The 2016 Election Committee has all applications
prepared and ready for the
upcoming election. All we
need now are candidates!
Think about what you
personally can contribute. All
COOCVE positions are up for
election, President, 1st, 2nd and
3rd Vice Presidents, Treasurer, Comptroller, Secretary
and three Sargeant-at-Arms
positions; and there are seats
available on the Recreation
Committee and Master Management Board of Directors.
You can obtain the Election Application from the
COOCVE Office and the Staff
Office in the Clubhouse, the
Master Management Office
near the West Gate; and it
is also available online at
CVEDB.COM.
The Election Application

W
City failed to move forward
on a controversial issue.
Another matter which has
come under public scrutiny is
the proposed purchase of the
beach lots. The Commission
has not made a decision as
yet to accept a proposal from
the beach owners to purchase
their property over five years.
Their asking price is in the
neighborhood of $1.5 million
dollars. All the lots were purchased via tax deeds and the
total they expended to purchase those lots was $3,690.83.
Prior to the sale of each parcel, the City was notified and
could have purchased these
properties but did not. The
present City Manager who
held the position in 2010 had
the opportunity to purchase
two of those lots for $2,800
and did not.
At a recent meeting, the
Vice Mayor said that no
City or State money should
be utilized to purchase the
cemetery lots on Second Avenue. His rationale was that
the Kassib’s had made a bad
business decision and should
not be rewarded. How then
can the City justify rewarding
the purchasers of the beach
lots over $1 million when
their investment was a mere
$3,600? My position is that the
City should not expend any
money on the beach lots until
we get a definitive ruling on
the Second Avenue site.

Stop Lines at Intersections
Many intersections are marked with stop lines to show where you must come to a complete
stop. These stop lines help to set you farther back at an intersection to give larger vehicles more
turning space. Always stop behind stop lines.
After a complete stop, you must yield the right-of-way to all other traffic and pedestrians at
stop signs. Move forward only when the road is clear. At three-way and four-way stops, the first
vehicle to stop should move forward first. If two vehicles reach the intersection at the same time,
the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.
 Stop at stop lines
 Do not stop in crosswalks
 Make a complete stop
 A rolling stop is illegal

I
n attendance: Shelly
Baskin, Susan Dove,
Nancy Giordano, Rita Pickar
and Fran Stricoff; Absent: Neal
Aronin and Ron Popp; Representing COOCVE: Charlie
Parness; Representing Bay
Management: Norma Taylor
The meeting opened with
the Pledge of Allegiance and a
Moment of Silence at 9:30 a.m.
Minutes
Rita moved and Susan seconded to waive the reading
of the October 13 minutes
and accept them as written.
The motion carried unanimously.
Correspondence
Janet Patinski, a resident
of Lyndhurst, requested that
two restrooms be installed
when they renovate the
Lyndhurst South pool house.
Nancy responded that they
cannot commit until the architect renderings are received.
Chairman’s Report
Nancy mentioned that
the Recreation Committee attended a workshop to
discuss allowing children
to attend special occasion
events held by residents in
the Party Room i.e., birthday
and anniversary parties. The
Committee agreed to this
policy change on a trial basis.
If there are any complaints,
the Committee will cancel
the trial immediately. Events
cannot take place on a Saturday night and residents must
reserve the entire Party Room
for their event.
Nancy mentioned that the
Recreation Committee will be
allowing food and beverages
to be consumed, under the
canopy only, at the satellite
pools during normal pool
hours. This will be a test to
the current policy. No glass
containers will be allowed;
trash cans are located at all
the pools, and residents are
expected to clean up after
themselves.
The Clubhouse and satellite pools will be closed on
Friday, October 16 due to
the water disruption affecting the entire Village. It is
anticipated that the water will
be back on at 6 p.m. so there
should be no be disruption
to the Friday night movies.
Fran mentioned that since the
Clubhouse will be closed on
Friday, October 16 residents
using the buses should keep
in mind that the restroom
stop at the Clubhouse will not
be available.
Bay Management Reports
- Norma Taylor
On September 30, Norma
had a meeting with both Kim
and Freddie. Recently they
both started their own business and the time it is taking
them to focus on their own
endeavors was conflicting
with their job at CVE. They
both mutually agreed that
it would be best for them to
leave CVE and devote the
time they have to their own
business. Norma thanked
them and wished them the
best of luck.
Clubhouse
Norma stated that there
have been numerous repairs in
the Clubhouse, specifically in
the locker rooms, fitness centers and restrooms. Repairs
or replacements were made to
the light fixtures, soap dispensers, faucets, flush valves,

to be presented to the Committee, to fix this area.
Ceiling Tiles: Replaced
ceiling tiles in several areas of
the Clubhouse including the
ladies restroom.
Painting: Completed the
painting of the fitness center
and west end hallways.
Pavers: The pavers on
the outdoor pool deck were
repaired.
Classes: There are a
number of new classes being
offered at CVE. Please stop
by the Staff Office and sign
up. The new classes being offered are: genealogy,
beginner piano, artist’s way,
laptop basics (laptops will be
provided), basic automotive
maintenance, intermediate
Spanish scrabble, Jewish history and Sacred Heart meditation classes.
Pools
Pressure washing of all the
satellite pools is currently
under way.
Newport: Replaced the
soap dispensers and pressure
washed the canopy.
Oakridge: The door
closure was adjusted at the
Oakridge pool.
Richmond: The sink was
disassembled in the ladies’ restroom due to a clogged drain.
Lyndhurst South: The
lights were repaired and
sealed due to moisture under
the canopy. A broken paver
was repaired at the entrance
to the pool.
Lyndhurst North: Repaired
and replaced two toilet seats,
resealed the toilet in the men’s
restroom and repaired the WiFi. Norma mentioned that batteries in the supply units for the
Wi-Fi are being replaced and
Wi-Fi at all of the satellite pools
will be fully functioning by the
end of this week.
Grantham: A flush valve
in the ladies’ restroom was
replaced.
Durham: A bulletin board
was installed at the pool.
Ventnor: Repaired leaks in
the canopy, and LED lighting
was installed at the flagpole.
Norma mentioned that the
flag at Ventnor is at halfmast and asked if it could be
raised. A resident replied,
“Yes.” Nancy asked about the
removal of the ficus tree in
Ventnor. Norma replied that
it is scheduled to be removed.
Upminster: Repaired a
broken urinal flush valve
and replaced three broken
soap dispensers. Rita asked
if this was due to vandalism.
Norma replied that she would
look into it.
Westbury: The pool gate at
the pool was repaired.

repaired and the fence was

conflict. Norma stated that
both the door and card reader
companies are scheduled to
work on the issue this week.
Fran mentioned that for those
using the East door to the
gym between 7 a.m. - 8 a.m.,
there should be a sign that the
card reader is not working

parking spaces across from
the restaurant will begin on
or about October 23. The only
disruption will be when they
sealcoat the pavement which
will be around October 26.

small lot behind the theatre
and alongside the shuffleboard courts, will be seal
coated and re-striped. Norma
will coordinate the process
with MM and the buses since
there can be no activity on the
road for 24 hours. Further
information on this will be
communicated.
Bocce Courts: The courts
have been re-surfaced and are
ready for the season.

Joint COOCVE Executive Committee and
Council of Area Chairs - October 14, 2015
T
he Joint COOCVE Executive Committee and
Council of Area Chairs meeting
of October 14, 2015, was called
to order by COOCVE President Charlie Parness and the
Chairperson for the Council of
Area Chairs, Sylvia Smaldone,
at 9:30 a.m. Charlie stated that
a quorum was present.
Minutes
A Director moved and
it was seconded to waive
the reading and accept the
minutes of the September 9
meeting as distributed and
printed in the Reporter.
President’s Report Charlie Parness
Charlie mentioned that a
resident from a garden building came to his office to discuss an issue they had with
replacing an air conditioner
unit. Although a permit
was obtained, they failed the
inspection on the installation
of the a/c unit. There is an
ordinance on the books about
the space between the a/c unit
and the building. If it’s too
close, it is claimed a safety
issue. This means the new
or replaced a/c unit must be
moved and could require an
addition to the concrete slab
it rests on. Charlie wanted to
be sure that all of the Area
Chairs knew about this as it
could affect units in their areas. Charlie spoke to several
city officials as well as Commissioner Rosenzweig about
this. The Commissioner
stated he would have someone from the City of Deerfield
Beach at the next joint meeting to explain who and how
this can affect us.
Charlie reminded all Area
Chairs/and Vice-Chairs that
the COOCVE BOD meeting is
being held on Tuesday, October 20. There were many of
you that are here today who
attended last month’s joint
meeting but did not attend
the BOD meeting. Please be
sure to attend both meetings,
especially the BOD meeting so that a quorum can be
obtained. Charlie mentioned
that there will be 21 stations;
one for each Area so that
Directors and Alternates can
sign-in. Area Chairs and/or
Area Vice-Chairs will be manning the stations; please get
there early.
At the COOCVE BOD meeting a vote will be held on the
COOCVE budget for 2016.
It’s important that we have a
quorum so that this vote can be
taken. Charlie asked each Area
Chair to contact the COOCVE
Directors and Alternates in
their areas and remind them
to attend the BOD meeting on
Tuesday. To assist the Area
Chairs, Charlie provided them
with a copy of the Officer and
Director forms of the associations in each of their areas who
are COOCVE members.
The key to the success
of the three principal CVE
entities are the volunteers
who hold office. Most of the
people at this meeting - the
leadership of CVE – wear
many hats. CVEMM, the
Recreation Committee and
COOCVE are all seeking
candidates to be elected in
January 2016. CVEMM and
the Recreation Committee
both meet approximately
once a month, and have occasional workshop sessions. The
COOCVE officers meet once a
month, the BOD meetings approximately six times a year
and an occasional Committee
meeting. The COOCVE Office is open Monday through
Thursday from 9 a.m. until 3
p.m. However, anyone who
is willing to give us a half
day - one day a week, would
be welcomed. As a reminder,
all ten (10) positions are up
this year. The positions are:
President, three (3) VicePresidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Controller and three
(3) Sergeant-at-arms. Charlie
ended the Executive Committee portion of the meeting
and turned it over to Sylvia
Smaldone, Chairperson of
the Council for Area Chairs.
Sylvia thanked Seacrest for
the Danishes and Hector for
setting it up.
Commissioner Richard
Rosenzweig
The Commissioner stated
that the discussions with 10th
street are still ongoing - there
is nothing new to report. He
stated that at November’s Joint
Area meeting he will discuss
in detail the issue with air conditioners and how it will affect
some buildings in CVE.
Master Management Donna Capobianco
Donna mentioned that the
MM meeting will be held
tomorrow, October 15 at 9:30
a.m. in the Activity Center.
Charlie asked Donna why
there was a drop in water
pressure yesterday, October
13. Walter responded that
there was a broken water
main at Farnham E. A resident called the City; the City
dispatched someone from
the Water Department who
wasn’t familiar with our system and they shut the main
valve down. The fire department was also dispatched.
The break has been fixed and
water was restored to Farnham about 11 p.m. last night.
Walter stated that instead of
calling the City, the resident
should have called the Property Management Company.
Norm Kaplan asked what
the plan is for upgrading the
roadways. Kelly responded
that the budget will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow. During this discussion,
roadways and resurfacing
will be discussed. Rita stated
that several residents have
had guests come to their door,
late at night, without Security
notifying them that they had
a visitor. Kelly responded
that they have received some
complaints and met with the
Security staff on the importance of making sure who
they are letting in and checking IDs. Secret shoppers, who
work for ABM, have been
sent through the gates trying
to get into CVE. Residents
must report this immediately
as there is a zero tolerance for
not checking visitors and/or
IDs. Kelly reminded residents not to open their doors
if someone unexpectedly
knocks at their door late at
night. They should immediately call Security and/or the
Police. Rita also mentioned
that several payments to MM
made by residents have gone
missing. They were told to
stop payment and/or issue another check. Since they don’t
want to do that, who should
they call? Kelly suggested
they start with Seacrest and if
they don’t get anywhere, then
to contact Accounting at MM.
Recreation Committee Nancy Giordano
Bay Management announced that Kim Whittemore and Freddie Studdard
are no longer working at
CVE. They decided to open
their own business, and it was
in their best interest to devote
all of their time to this new
venture. Norma Taylor is on
board as well as several maintenance managers insuring
that the projects are completed. A decision was made
to allow food/beverages at the
satellite pools during regular
pool hours. Glass containers are not allowed and food/
beverages must be consumed
under the canopy. If there are
any issues, please contact the
staff office. A decision was
also made to allow children in
the Party Room when a resident books the entire room
for a special occasion i.e.,
birthday or anniversary. No
parties will be allowed on Saturday nights. This policy is in
effect on a trial basis and will
be re-visited after one year.
Recreation will be providing
ID lanyards for residents to
carry their ID cards around
their neck; this is not mandatory. There are a number of
new classes being offered at
CVE. Please stop by the Staff
Office and sign up. The new
classes being offered are:
genealogy, beginner piano,
artist’s way, laptop basics
(laptops will be provided), basic automotive maintenance,
intermediate Spanish scrabble, Jewish history and Sacred
Heart meditation classes.
The flooring in the theatre is
complete, and the chairs have
been installed. The aisle lighting will be installed by 10/20.
The theatre will be open and
ready by November 1.
On October 14, there will
be a meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss
the new pickle ball court.
The permit expediter and
engineer will be present at
this meeting to explain what
CVE is doing and what pickle
ball is all about. If all goes as
planned, the permit should be
provided within 24-48 hours.
Until the court is built, temporary lines for pickle ball will
be installed at the Newport
courts. Nancy mentioned that
two basketball 1/2 courts will
be installed, one at Ventnor
and the other has not yet been
decided. Nancy reminded
everyone that the Clubhouse
and satellite pools will be
closed on Friday, October 15
due to the water being shut
down; buses will be running
on a normal schedule.
East Coast Nothing to report.
Sylvia thanked East Coast
for relocating the Tilford trash
bin which was moved during
the Labor Day storm.
Seacrest:
Steve reminded snowbirds
who are returning to CVE to
obey all traffic signs and speed
limits in the Village. Sylvia
thanked Hector for coming in
on his day off to fix the ladies
restroom at the Tilford pool.
If a resident needs to contact
Seacrest after hours, the number is 888-928-6465.

President’s Report – Donna Capobianco (9:41:52 a.m.)
1) Pet Policy Update –
Donna advised that the Davis
lawsuit, first one pursued by
MM, cost the Village approximately $63,000, averaging $7.00 per owner. Donna
further advised the ADA
guidelines and Florida Law
regarding being untruthful
and responsibilities of the
parties involved can be found
online or MM will provide a
copy if requested.
2) Road Resurfacing –
(9:44:45 a.m.) Donna read
into the record the 2009 MM
roadway paving policy:
In 2009, Master Management issued a Roadway
Paving Policy that stated in
mid-2014 that MM would
evaluate all of the roadway
conditions and identify streets
to be re-surfaced in 2015. In
September 2014, MM reported
it would notify associations
impacted by the plan in the
event they wish to budget for
re-surfacing their parking ar-
eas in conjunction with MM’s
work in 2015.
The notifications to the
Associations were to include
a proposal from the same
vendor doing MM’s work, to
pave the Association’s parking space areas at the same
time at the Association’s expense. Associations were then
asked to complete the form
indicating YES or NO on their
decision to contract for the
work. Any Association that
did not receive notice by midSeptember 2014 was told that
it meant that their Association
was not selected for MM’s
2015 road re-surfacing.
In September 2014, notifications asking 15 Associations
to consider participating in
MM’s road re-surfacing plan
were sent and unfortunately,
only five of the Associations
sent back their completed
form indicating that YES
they did want to join MM
in the work. The 2015 road
re-surfacing has been completed for the Associations
that participated and those
that chose not to participate
will be given the opportunity
to join MM at a later date. By
doing the total re-surfacing at
one time, it saves the Associations and MM significant
expense. When either job is
done separately the total cost
for the Association or MM
increases significantly. It is to
everyone’s advantage to do
a complete re-surfacing in an
area at one time.
In an effort to get better
participation by the individual Associations, MM has decided that the 2016 and 2017
road re-surfacing will only
include those roads that don’t
have any parking spaces. This
decision was made in order
to afford Associations the
additional time to budget and
set aside the needed funds to
participate in the future. A
five-year plan will be presented to the Community
in the coming months that
details the roads that will be
completed in 2016 and 2017
as well as the Association
parking spaces scheduled for
2018-2020 so that associations
can take the steps necessary to
join with MM to complete resurfacing for the entire area.
Our current vendor estimates
that, on average, associations
can plan to budget approximately $180 per parking space

to join in the project.
It is our hope that provided
the additional time to budget
for this expense, Associations
will take the opportunity to
ensure they are ready in 2018
and on, to join MM in this
effort as they will enjoy cost
savings due to the size of the
project as well as enhancing
the appearance of our Community.
Board Member discussion,
comments and suggestions
ensued. Donna concluded
that the intention was to
achieve a more methodical,
cost-effective, efficient and
overall beneficial approach to
the resurfacing of the parking spaces and roadways
throughout the Village. (Refer
to time stamp for full discussion.)
3) Fishing Policy – (9:51:51
a.m.) Kelly provided information from the attorney regarding the fishing policy and
Donna read the statement into
the record:
1. Purpose – To ensure resident safety at Village waterways.
2. Boundaries – Master
Management’s easement/
maintenance responsibilities
not contained within MMowned property ceases at
the edge of the water and the
Associations own and maintain the land up to the water’s
edge. The waterways within
CVE are maintained and
managed by the South Florida
Water Management District;
however, MM does provide
for aquatic weed control and
refuse removal. Therefore,
MM has no ability to prohibit
fishing, swimming, wading, boating from the shore;
however, highly recommends
that residents do not engage
in any of the activities previously stated.
3. Moving Forward – Master
Management will be posting
signs at the waterways on our
property that alerts residents
and their visitors that fishing,
swimming, wading, and boating are prohibited.
Master Management
will also provide signs at
no charge to Associations
abutting the water, should
they desire, that indicate that
fishing, swimming, wading
and boating are potentially
dangerous and MM discourages anyone from engaging in
the activities listed above, as
doing so could result in injury
or death. Contact MM at 954421-5566 if any body of water
requires weed control or refuse removal so that it may be
done by trained professionals.
Donna noted that with an
affirmative vote, the rules (of
which there are currently six)
will be updated to reflect this
new rule.

COOCVE Board of Directors - October 20, 2015
P
resident Charlie Parness called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m.
Parness led the Pledge of
Allegiance and a Moment of
Silence. Charlie announced
that this will be an Informational Meeting since there
was no quorum. The official
number that was needed to
reach a quorum today was
94 Directors; there were
only 88 present.
Charlie stated that there
is an Executive Committee
which is empowered by the
bylaws to pass resolutions
and motions which would be
in effect until the next regular
meeting of the BOD.
Charlie asked to waive
the reading of the minutes
and asked if there were any
additions or corrections as
they were published in the
Reporter. There were no corrections or changes. Since
there was no quorum, there
could not be a vote.
Sheriff’s Report Deputy Morrison
Deputy Morrison explained
that the geographic location of
CVE is part of zone 10; west
of 95, east of Powerline with
borders on 10th Street and
Hillsboro Blvd. In the surrounding areas of CVE, there
were no auto thefts and no
business burglaries but there
were two residential crimes.
In CVE there was one resident
burglary on September 23.
The witness was able to call
911 while the burglary was
in progress and an arrest was
made; Wayne Norris was arrested. The Deputy reminded
residents to call 911 if they see
anything suspicious in their
areas. A resident mentioned
that there is ongoing speeding
issues in CVE. The Deputy
responded that he would
make note and look into it.
He also reminded residents
not to keep any valuables in
their cars while shopping and
be sure not to leave handbags
in shopping carts.
Treasurer’s Report Allen Minsky
For the month of September, there was no income for
the month since there were no
additional dues. Expenses
for the month of September
were $961. Year-to-date
income was $57,612 which
were dues collected. Year-todate expenses were $91,339;
year-to-date net income was
($33,727). The majority of
these expenses were legal expenses. The total amount of
money in accounts as of September 30, 2015 was $86,671.
A resident stated that fees and
expenses are recoverable if
you are a winner in a lawsuit.
Has the law firm recovered
any of these fees and expenses
for CVE? Allen responded,
“No, not on the current
lawsuits.” Many of the funds
that were paid out were legal
expenses that were paid over
the last few years but had not
been billed to COOCVE correctly. Therefore, they were
not all expenses/fees from
2015. A resident asked if all
association dues were paid in
2015, how much would have
been collected? Allen replied
$67,000.
Allen stated that since
there is no quorum at today’s
meeting, the 2016 budget
cannot be voted upon. He
stated that it would most
likely be voted upon at
the November Executive
Committee meeting. Allen
discussed with the Directors
the 2016 budget that was distributed during the meeting.
He stated that he budgeted
a higher amount in legal expenses, and it was decided to
keep the COOCVE dues the
same amount; $8/unit.
President’s Report Charlie Parness
Charlie stated that a successful Village is perceived
differently by each individual.
Many of the residents are
looking for a Village with lots
of amenities and services,
a safe community and with
costs that are reasonable.
CVE is certain that the Village
and the key to continuing
this are the three entities, the
CVEMM Board, the COOCVE
the COOCVE BOD. The key
to the success of these three
entities are the residents who
volunteer to serve on them.
Many of the residents at this
meeting - the leadership of
CVE – wear many hats. In addition to being a COOCVE Director or Alternate COOCVE
Director, you may serve on
your Association Board or
as an Association Officer.
Some may even serve as
Area Chairs or Vice-Chairs,
while others may serve on the
CVEMM Board, the COOCVE
Recreation Committee or
as a COOCVE Officer. He
stated that the CVEMM, the
COOCVE are seeking candidates to be elected in January
2016. Both CVEMM and the
Recreation Committee meet
approximately once a month
with an occasional work shop
session. The COOCVE officers
meet once a month, the BOD
has meetings approximately
six times a year and an occasional Committee meeting.
The COOCVE office is open
Monday through Thursday
from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. However, anyone who is willing
to give us a half day - one day
a week, would be welcomed.
As a reminder, all ten (10)
positions are up this year. The
positions are: President, three
(3) Vice-Presidents, Secretary,
Treasurer, Controller and
three (3) Sergeant-at-arms.
Donna Capobianco - Master Management
Donna urged all residents
to register on the CVE website
www.cvedb.com to receive
the email blasts and bulletins
from MM.
Bay Management has
announced that Kim Whittemore and Freddie Studdard
have resigned their positions
with CVE. They have decided
to open their own business,
and it was in their best interest to leave CVE and devote
their time to this new venture. A decision was made to
allow food/beverages at the
satellite pools during regular
pool hours. Glass containers are not allowed and food/
beverages must be consumed
under the canopy. If there are
any issues, please contact the
Staff Office.
A decision was also made
to allow children in the Party
Room when a resident books
the entire room for a special occasion i.e., birthday
or anniversary. No parties
will be allowed on Saturday
nights. This policy is in effect
on a trial basis and will be
re-visited after one year. The
parking lot across from the
restaurant will be closed for
the installation of additional
parking spaces. The restaurant will remain open during
this time. The anticipated
completion date is November
2. This project will provide an
additional 28 parking spots.
In 2016, there will be an additional 20 spaces installed.
There are a number of new
classes being offered at CVE.
Please stop by the Staff Office
and sign up. The new classes
being offered are: genealogy,
beginner piano, artist’s way,
laptop basics (laptops will be
provided), basic automotive
maintenance, intermediate
Spanish scrabble, Jewish history and Sacred Heart meditation classes. The theatre is
complete and will be ready to
open on November 1. Nancy
also stated that at the November meeting the budget will
be approved.

Chairman’s Report
The preview for the 2015
-2016 show season will be
held on July 15 at 1 p.m., in
the Party Room. Tickets will
be available for purchase at
the box office or online (www.
cveevents.com) starting at 3
p.m. Checks, cash or credit
cards will be accepted. Residents will have a total of 50
minutes to order their tickets
online before being knocked
off the system. You must have
a valid ID to purchase tickets.
No new IDs will be issued
the day the tickets go on
sale; there will be no exceptions. Due to an increase in
the cost of providing entertainment and the operation
of the theatre, Nancy stated
that the ticket prices for the
2015/2016 show season will
increase. Rita moved and
Susan seconded that the
ticket prices for the 2015/2016
show season will run from
$10-$14 and all guest tickets
will increase $2. Motion
carried unanimously. Nancy
asked Kim to distribute the
brochures on-line and in the
Staff Office as soon as they
are ready. The price sheet is
separate from the brochure
since the increase was not voted upon when the brochure
was being printed. When
the price sheet is available,
an announcement will be on
the TV as to when and where
they can be obtained. Nancy
reminded residents that Tony
Orlando has been booked for
two shows, matinee and night
show. Since there are two
Tony Orlando shows, CVE
residents may purchase guest
tickets without waiting until
two weeks prior to the show
date, as is usually required.
Guest tickets for all other top
shows ($14) will not be available until two weeks prior to
the show; this is so that residents get first preference.
The Clubhouse Diner will
close from July 6 through
Sunday, July 12 for one week.
Deerfield Beach is requiring a
better ventilation system for
the convection oven; therefore
it will be updated at this time.
The buy one get one for 50%
off lunch special (cash only)
is still being honored. The
Diner is also offering dinner
delivery service to residents;
pick-ups get 10% discount.

CVE REPORTER
NOVEMBER 2015
Joint COOCVE Executive Committee and
Council of Area Chairs - June 10, 2015
T
he Joint COOCVE
Executive Committee
and Council of Area Chairs
meeting of June 10, 2015, was
called to order by COOCVE
President Charlie Parness
and the Chairperson for the
Council of Area Chairs, Sylvia
Smaldone at 9:30 a.m. Charlie stated that there was a
quorum.
Minutes
A Director moved and it
was seconded to waive the
reading and accept the minutes of the May 13 meeting
as published in the Reporter.
President’s Report - Charlie Parness
Charlie stated that the key
issue of the trial is whether
Ira Grossman (then COOCVE
President) was authorized to
transfer the Hurricane Wilma
insurance proceeds. At the
trial, the evidence demonstrated that Ira Grossman did
in fact have authorization to
do so. This was established
by the COOCVE BOD meeting minutes of February 19,
2008 and March 18, 2008; the
jury seemed to ignore the
evidence.
The opposition tried to give
the impression that associations were forced to participate in giving the deductible
amount to COOCVE. When
questioned under oath,
Charlie stated that was not
true and named an association that had Wilma damage
but opted-out. Ventnor B also
did not give the deductible to
COOCVE because they had
no damage due to the Wilma
hurricane and filed no claims.
The lawsuit was specifically
about the handling of insurance funds for the Wilma
hurricane. Of the 253 condo
associations in CVE, the only
association that sued us,
Ventnor B, did not participate
in the deductible, suffered
no Wilma damage, nor any
financial loss.
Attorney Geralyn Passaro
stated that “The course of action by COOCVE left Century
Village in a better position,
without liens; with repaired
buildings; and with happy
unit owners who were able to
return to their homes follow-

ing the catastrophe brought
by hurricane Wilma.”
COOCVE has been accused of doing everything
wrong but after about one
year, every building that had
Wilma hurricane damage was
repaired. Ventnor B which
supposedly did everything
right, still has half their buildings unlivable ten years after
their fire. COOCVE arranged
the insurance for all CVE associations, a practice which
was stopped in 2008. During
cross examination, an officer
of Ventnor B admitted that he
knew that each association
was responsible for obtaining
adequate insurance. Ventnor
B paid the insurance premium
under the COOCVE program
in the years preceding the
fire, the year of the fire and
some years after the fire.
Testimony was given from
three members of the 2007
COOCVE Insurance Committee whose primary function
was to gather information and
recommend to COOCVE an
insurance package for 2008. At
that time, the COOCVE policy
was to obtain insurance for
every association. An officer
of Ventnor B served on this
committee which was an active participant in promoting
the COOCVE policy. Attorney Geralyn Passaro, acting
for both Travelers Insurance
and COOCVE, has filed a 20
page appeal. There is nothing
to be done until all aspects of
the appeal are resolved.
Charlie asked all Area
Chairs to contact their building presidents to supply a list
of those residents (name and
address) who will need assistance in evacuating their units
in case of a major emergency
such as a hurricane. This
listing will be provided to the
EMS/Fire Departments.
Charlie discussed with the
Directors the voting procedures that are used at the
COOCVE Board of Director
meetings. It was suggested
that the best way was to use
a full colored sheet of paper.
The color of the voting sheet
will be changed at each meeting. This is the procedure we
will use at the next Board of
Directors’ meeting. If it does
not work, we can look into
using the paddles.
Charlie ended the Executive Committee portion of the
meeting and turned it over
to Sylvia Smaldone, Chairperson of the Council for
Area Chairs. Sylvia thanked
Seacrest for the coffee and
Danish as well as Hector for
setting it all up.
Master Management Donna Capobianco
Donna stated that the
MM meeting is being held
tomorrow, June 11 at 9:30
a.m. Donna mentioned to the
Area Chairs that they need
to share with their Presidents
that theft is being reported
at many of the Recreation
meetings. BSO communicates
to CVE at the BOD meetings,
that within our community
the crime rate is very low.
The issue is our residents
who are stealing chairs
from the pool and vandalizing property around CVE.
Donna mentioned that if the
Presidents place items on
their association’s property,
she suggests that the item be
secured so that the items cannot be removed by someone.
She urged residents to call
Security if they see anyone on
their property who should not
be there.
The preview for the 2015
-2016 show season will be
held on July 15 at 1 p.m., in
the Party Room. Tickets will
be available for purchase
at the box office or online
(www.cveevents.com) starting at 3 p.m. Checks, cash or
credit cards will be accepted.
Residents will have a total
of 50 minutes to order their
tickets online before being knocked off the system.
You must have a valid ID to
purchase tickets. No new
IDs will be issued the day
the tickets go on sale; there
will be no exceptions. The
brochure will be available
for pick up and online as of
July 1. Charlie asked if two
couples want to sit together
at a show, how they can they
do that? Nancy replied that
they cannot do this online but
can do it by submitting their
applications at the same time
when purchasing the tickets.
Instructions for this are in the
brochure.
The Clubhouse Diner will
close from July 6 through
Sunday, July 12 for one week.
The City of Deerfield Beach
is requiring a better ventilation system for the convection oven; therefore, it will
be updated at this time. The
buy one get one for 50% off
lunch special (cash only)
is still being honored. The
Diner is also offering dinner
delivery service to residents;
pick-ups get 10% discount.
Donna asked if our vendors
and employees can eat at the
Clubhouse Diner. Nancy
replied, “Yes.” Employees
and vendors are more than
welcome to eat at the restaurant. Nancy also mentioned
that the extension cords to
the lights on the palm trees
were recently stolen. A
Director asked about the
replacement lounges at the
pools. Every month new
lounges and chairs are being
ordered to make every pool
have the adequate amount; 50
lounges and 100 chairs. The
chairs and lounges are double
strapped. After this has been
completed, they will look at
which need to be replaced.
Richard Rosenzweig - District 3 Commissioner
Military Trail has been
cleaned up a little bit more.
The Commissioner stated
that the City has outsourced
its Planning Department - i.e.
permitting; this area should
now run a lot smoother.
Seacrest
Sylvia thanked Seacrest for
the planting of the shrubs and
sod along Tilford Blvd. They are
both growing very nicely and
are being watered every day.
Areas
Ellsmere: The Area Chair
stated that there are a lot of
areas that are not being watered as the shrubs are dying.
Sylvia replied that a request
must be submitted to MM
Customer Service.
Oakridge: The Area Chair
mentioned that he inquired
at yesterday’s Recreation
meeting for the Committee to
consider installing hot tubs
at some of the pools. He also
asked if there could be lessons
held on water sports such as
snorkeling and scuba diving.
He asked that if anyone else is
interested to contact the Recreation Committee in support
of his idea.
Tilford: Sylvia asked Charlie to explain the FHA $20 fee
that is due every two years to
keep the 55 and over in the
Association. Charlie stated
that a $20 fee is due every two
years to keep you in the Fair
Housing Act and that your
property manager should be
advising the Area when this
needs to be done. Sylvia also
thanked Walter for the striping that was recently done in
their area.
Ventnor: The new water
fountain was installed and is
working properly.
Old Business:
Sylvia mentioned that the
speeders are still a concern
in Tilford along Crescent
Avenue. At 10:30 p.m. every
night, there is a car that drives
35mph down the street.
New Business - none
The meeting was adjourned
at 10:45 a.m.

for the month.
President’s Report –
Michael Routburg, Vice
President: (9:37:54 a.m.)
Lawsuit Settlement A bulletin issued by Donna
Capobianco outlining the current legal matter resolution
was read into the record by
Michael, on Donna Capobianco’s behalf as follows:
CVEMM is actively working toward finalizing what we
believe will be a very good
settlement to end five lawsuits, some of which involve
COOCVE. We wish to end
the years of legal battles and
allow us to move forward in a
more positive manner.
The Telemedia case is
only one of five lawsuits, is
a CLASS ACTION, does not
include COOCVE and relates
to gardens only with damaged
draft walls caused by the cable
install back in 2004. Again,
only garden associations are
impacted and those involved
in the CLASS will receive
information directly from their
CLASS attorney, Mr. Garrity.
CVEMM is not a blog. It is
a company doing its best to
act responsibly. This settlement, once finalized, will
be, we believe, a very positive step for our community.
Speaking of the settlement in
pieces will only cause confusion and trigger questions
CVEMM can’t answer right
now. As soon as CVEMM’s
attorneys have all the final
information needed, CVEMM
will hold a SPECIAL MEETING where our attorneys will
address the settlement in full.
In the meantime, we ask for
your patience and support.

Executive Director Kelly O’Meara Hampton:
(9:40:20 a.m.)
Announcement Fernando Navarro, Director
of Security for ABM Security Services, will be hosting
monthly seminars; the first
one scheduled for July 29th
from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on
Roadside Safety & Driving
Etiquette at the Le Club building. Fliers were available.
Kelly encouraged residents to
attend.
Roadway Restriping -
(9:41:11 a.m.)
Major roadway restriping
has been completed. The
parking streets are nearing
completion. Areas for 2016
would be analyzed, and the
associations selected will
receive notification in the next
couple months via letter for
those interested in participating. Areas that were not
resurfaced this year or slated
for the next month or two
have been restriped.
Dan asked if a list could be
sent indicating the recently
completed asphalt overlays.
Kelly advised a list would
be sent. Michael wanted to
know if it was possible for
associations to receive more
advanced notice for budgeting purposes. Kelly informed
they would do their best to
provide advance notice based
on need and reminded that
Five Star Sealing & Paving
could be contacted, who
would provide estimates,
pointing out that $165 per
parking space was quoted,
subject to change.
Tree Canopy Project -
(9:44:59 a.m.)
Kelly stated 280 trees of 431
have been planted to date,
and that an email blast would
be sent out indicating the
types of tree planted along
with before and after pictures.
Kelly reported 30 pre-existing
trees needed removal and
would be implemented into the
ongoing project for cost-efficiency. Completion of project
is scheduled for mid-August.
Also, informed tree trimming
had begun and will continue
for next couple weeks.
Water Valve Project (9:46:34 a.m.)
371 of 504 valves have been
replaced. The Board having previously discussed a
project finalization date are
in agreement with a projected
completion date of October 1.
Village Lighting (9:47:02 a.m.)
The light meter study
results have been sent to the
engineering firm for recommendations. Phase 1 would
be the exterior roadway FPL
lighting analysis.
(9:47:41 a.m.)
Dick interjected, asking if
new trees were planted too
close together. Kelly pointed
out the trees were planned
and planted that way intentionally by Masuen Consulting LLC, the landscape
engineer, in order to develop
a canopy over the walkways.
Once the information is
collected from the exterior
roadway study, phase 2 would
begin with an evaluation of
the interior lighting/coolie hat
lights. An upcoming meeting
scheduled with FPL will provide more information to present at a future board meeting.
Bus Step Modification
-(9:48:58 a.m.)
An eighth bus step modification was attempted and
once again was not successful. While efforts continue,
Kelly advised residents to use
the bus lift. Feedback from
the residents regarding the
bus lift were addressed, and
a notice was read into the
record that would be posted
on all Village buses. It was
noted the buses continue to be
fully ADA compliant. Discussion between Board Members
ensued. (Refer to time stamp
above for full discussion.)
Recycling -(10:00:38 a.m.)
As was announced at the
Area Chair Meeting by the
City Commissioner and Kelly,
based on feedback from the
community regarding the difficulty experienced by some
residents getting their garbage
into the dumpsters, the City
is experimenting with a new
lid that has a smaller opening
(hatch) as opposed to having
to lift the entire lid. (Refer to
time stamp above for full discussion and to see pictures of
the lid as displayed by Kelly.)
Irrigation -(10:06:17 a.m.)
Kelly noted the final in-
spection was completed and
the permit was closed. The
control setup and certification
is 95% complete and expected
to be 100% complete within
the next month or two. Kelly
explained how the system
was being checked and certified. Kelly further noted a
recent storm with lightning
activity affected the irrigation
system and what actions are
being taken to resolve those
issues. Discussion ensued between Board Members. (Refer
to time stamp above for full
discussion.)
Rebranding -(10:13:12 a.m.)
Organization rebranding is almost complete. The
new website will be done
by weeks’ end and will be
presented to the Board for
approval. Kelly described the
benefits of the new interactive
site which would be available
for community feedback and
will host a variety of features
such as surveys, a blog for
commenting and information
networking. Kelly announced
a new logo would be introduced.
Collection Efforts (10:14:56
a.m.)
Approximately nine associations have past-due
assessments totaling more
than $117,000. Kelly advised
collection efforts would begin
with phone calls and encouraged those associations to
contact her. Per Member
inquiry, Kelly confirmed the
total related to associations
who have taken title and
ownership of apartments and
have yet to pay the past-due
assessments.
Customer Service (10:15:55 a.m.)
646 inquiries were received
for the month of June. Kelly
drew attention to the large
number of inquiries being
off-season. The majority
were irrigation related, email
follow-ups, financial matters,
and Activity Center inquiries.
Only 78 of 646 inquires resulted in work orders at a rate
of three days to complete.
Security -(10:16:53 a.m.)
Fewer calls were received
this month, as opposed to
May, with about 30 calls. Kelly noted the majority of calls
were requests for residential
escorts, wellness checks, domestic disturbance, and two
theft reports. Per Member
inquiry, Fernando Navarro
described one theft as being
an unlocked car report, and
the second one was a burglary
of a residence with no evidence of forced entry.
Comcast -(10:18:53 a.m.)
A number of service issues such as amplifiers, bulk
service issues, holds, channel
resolution of 98/99 as previously discussed, all remain
unresolved. Meetings have
been held, and progress is
moving slow. CSI, the company involved in negotiating
the terms of contract have
stepped in to assist in resolving the pending matters.
Kelly will provide an update
when available.
Dick thanked Kelly for her

discussion.)
Roadway Restriping & Stop
Bars -(10:24:15 a.m.)

be completed within the next
two weeks. Walter noted the

allowing it to shine bright at
night. Kelly explained the

guardhouses; with a beginning figure of $45,000 for the
design of all three guardhouses to permitting. The plan

Member Comments:
(10:32:40 a.m.)
Bill raised objection to making personal comments about
non-business related items;
in particular, the comments
made earlier in the meeting
by Danielle as inappropriate
and unacceptable. If necessary, will pursue a resolution
at next month’s meeting.
Dan pointed out that during
a moment of silence would be
the appropriate time to recognize one’s passing.
Gene agreed with Bill and
agreed that a moment of
silence would be a sufficient
time to reflect on those one
wished to remember. The
mention of individual names
would be singling out one
member of the community
over another.
Fred suggested it was inappropriate to eulogize one’s
personal traits from a business point-of-view.
Michael reserved comment.
But then stated he disagreed
with Gene, Fred, and Bill’s
comments. He suggested that
individuals who previously
participated in MM could be
remembered. He does not
think a protocol would be necessary; apologized for allowing the eulogy if anyone was
offended.

Clubhouse 3rd Floor:
Norma mentioned that they
will be painting and cleaning up the old security office
located on the 3rd floor. The
Staff Office has been using
this room for classes. Also
on the 3rd floor, on the other
side of the theatre balcony,
there is a large space that is
unused. Norma suggested
installing a wood floor with
a cushion for Christina to use
for the aerobic classes. This
space can also be used for
small dance instruction or as a
smaller multi-purpose room.
Additionally, an expansion
joint on the 2nd floor needs to
be repaired and the carpet removed from the 3rd floor will
now be used for the repair
since there is no extra carpet
available. Nancy moved and
it was seconded by Susan
to accept the bid from Cox
Flooring, Inc. (the same
company installing the floor
in the theatre) in the amount
of $10,045.00 for the installation of a wood floor in the
exercise room on the 3rd
floor. This amount includes
the removal of the existing
carpet, material and labor for
the installation of a wood
floor as well as a whisper
mat underlayment. Motion
Nancy stated that after a
review of the exercise equipment, it has been determined
that four elliptical machines
and 10 treadmills need to be
replaced. A bid was received
from Gym Source, (the same
company that handles the
maintenance contract for the
equipment), in the amount of
$54,546.75. They will be able
to install this equipment by
the end of the month. Shelly
asked who is to be checking
this equipment on an ongoing basis. Nancy replied
that they do not know and are
looking into this. The majority of the treadmills were
from 2007. The maintenance
contract is separate and is not
included in this bid. Nancy
moved and Rita seconded
to accept the bid from Gym
Source in the amount of
$57,819.56 for 10 treadmills
and four elliptical machines
to be installed at the end of
this month (October). Motion carried unanimously.
Rita mentioned that during this political time of
year, the TV’s in the equipment room will have one TV
showing the Fox Network
and the other TV showing
the CNN Network. Several
residents asked if TV’s could
be attached to the equipment.
Norma stated that it would
add about $15,000 to the cost
of the equipment as well as a
maintenance nightmare.

T
he election process for
the three main entities
of our Village has begun. Applications will soon be available for the CVE Master Management (CVEMM) board
of directors, the COOCVE
Recreation Committee, and
the COOCVE officers. Unlike
previous years, these elections
will be held in January – January 19, 2016 to be specific. We
urge every resident to seriously considering running for
one of the open positions.
For those who do not know
what each entity is responsible
for, here is a short summary:
CVEMM – With a budget
of about $12,000,000, handles
security, cable TV, internal
transportation, irrigation,
roadways, Le Club and
Activity Center, gate houses
and perimeter fences and
hedging, etc.
The COOCVE Recreation
Committee – With a budget
of about $10,500,000 (more

lease) handles the maintenance and operation of the
Clubhouse, the swimming
pools and tennis courts.
COOCVE - with a budget
of about $55,000 handle the
elections of the CVEMM
board, the Recreation Committee, The Reporter Board of
Directors, and the COOCVE
officers. The COOCVE Area
Chairs and Vice-Chairs
meet once a month with the
leadership of CVEMM and
the Recreation Committee
representing the unit owners in their areas. COOCVE
is the only entity which tries
to resolve problems between
unit owners and their Association boards. COOCVE also
provides seminars on condo
living and board activities
including board certification,
and is the marshaling force
for uniting residents on issues
affecting our Village (the golf
course, SW10th Street projects, etc.).
The rules for running for
any office are essentially the
same as previous years. You
may only be a candidate for
one COOCVE position – for
example you cannot run for
the office of both COOCVE
President and COOCVE Treasurer. In addition, you cannot
run for a position in more
than one entity – CVEMM,
the Recreation Committee or
as a COOCVE officer. Also for
COOCVE you cannot run if
you are doing business with
COOCVE or its unit owners. Nominees for the offices
of COOCVE President or
Vice-Presidents must be either
present or past COOCVE
Directors or elected corporate
officers who have served at
least one full term.
However, there are some
new rules as provided in the
Bylaw Amendments duly
adopted by a 2/3 COOCVE
Board of Directors vote. The
nine month residency restriction has been removed. Only
candidates from Associations in good standing (paid
their COOCVE dues) may
be considered for an office in
COOCVE. Additionally, no
person, currently instituting
or participating in any legal
action against the COOCVE
Corporation or the CVE
Master Management Co. Inc.,
shall be eligible to serve as an
officer of either corporation.
BE all that you can be. Volunteer to serve your community. Completed applications
with a copy of your resume
are to be handed in at the
CVEMM office by 3 p.m. on
Tuesday December 8, 2015.

alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure,
reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are
working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to
the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify
as service animals under the ADA. Please see definitions, explanations, responsibilities regarding Service
Animals at www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm

through conduct or verbal or written notice, 212 as using a service animal and being qualified to use a
service 213 animal or as a trainer of a service animal commits a misdemeanor 214 of the second degree,
punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 215 775.083, effective July 1, 2015.
2. Residents must have WORKING, VALID BAR CODE, CVE ID or Photo ID with
CVE address.
3. NON-RESIDENTS must show PHOTO ID for gate entry and admitted only if
resident calls in to Security.

failure to do so, will be deemed trespassers.
5. Invalid CVE ID Cards displayed by persons other than legal owner/resident
may be confiscated.

washing) without written permission from Master Management. Personal/

walkway along the railing and not from the grassy area.

C onsumer I nterest
“Ask Lori…Parrish on Appraisals”
Broward County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish
Answers Your Questions…
C
onsider Partial Payments of Your Property Tax Bill!
Dear Lori,
I heard a representative of
your office speak to our Realtor®
Property Tax 101 seminar. He
told me your office changed state
law to allow taxpayers to make
partial payments of their 2015
tax bill this year? I might be
interested in this payment option
for my 2015 property tax bill.
R.B., Fort Lauderdale, FL
The Property Appraiser
does not set or collect taxes. In
2009, I asked State Senator
Jeremy Ring of Parkland to
change state law to allow the
Broward County Records,
Taxes and Treasury Division
(Broward Tax Collector) to
accept partial payments from
taxpayers for payment of
current year property taxes. We were successful in passing
Senate Bill 1580 and getting
then Governor Charlie Crist
to sign this bill into law. Last
year 2,251 property tax bills
were paid using the partial
payment plan.
Between November 1, 2015
and March 31, 2016, a taxpayer can elect to make up to
five partial payments, along
with a $10.00 processing fee
for each partial payment.
Each partial payment must be
at least $100 with the balance
being paid in full by March
31, 2016 to avoid interest
and penalties on the unpaid
balance. There is no application for partial payments. Taxpayers must declare their
intent to make partial payments to the Broward County
Records, Taxes and Treasury
Division (Broward Tax Collector) at the time of their first
remittance, and partial payments cannot be made online.
Any unpaid balance
becomes delinquent and
is handled like any other
delinquent tax bill and will
be subject to the same interest and penalties, including
having a tax certificate sold
pursuant to Florida Statute.
Partial payments are not
eligible for any early-payment
discount. The taxpayer has
the responsibility to ensure
the remaining amount due is
paid timely. The county will
not send monthly invoices. Partial payments cannot be
made on delinquent taxes.
If you have a question for Lori,
please email her at [email protected] or
write to her at the Broward County
Property Appraiser’s Office, 115
South Andrews Avenue, Room
111, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301.
WE’RE COMING TO
CENTURY VILLAGE

FOR ALL APPLICANTS:
Additionally, not

plan, please contact the

P olitical S cene
From the Commissioner
By RICHARD ROSENZWEIG, Commissioner District 3
H
ello friends and
neighbors. I hope
you are enjoying this warm
Florida fall. During this
month of Thanksgiving I
want to remind you that we
have much to be grateful for,
especially here in Deerfield
Beach. Aside from our fantastic weather, the city is making
great strides forward and we
have many wonderful projects ahead this fiscal year.
We anticipate the ground
breaking for the Redevelopment of Sullivan Park will
happen the first week of
January. Watch for more
updates about that event
because I would love to see
all of you there in support
of that project. I am happy
to announce that Kiwanis
Club of Deerfield Beach is
the Corporate Sponsor of
the Sullivan Park children’s
splash pad. In April of this
year, the City Of Deerfield
Beach was awarded a public
art grant for $75,000 from the
Community Foundation of
Broward to execute Phase I of
the Sullivan Park Public Art
Project, a lithomosiac overlay
of the children’s splash pad. A
key requirement of the grant
is that the award must be
matched by private donations
and sponsorships. Among a
variety of individual of corporate donation options available, the program offered one
corporate sponsorship, where
a donation of $25,000 or more
would grant the donor naming rights to the fountain. We
are excited to partner with the
Kiwanis Club and we are very
thankful for their commitment to our City.
Come join us for a casual,
relaxing night of music and
fun as the City of Deerfield
Beach Parks and Recreation
Department presents the final
concert of the 2015 Beach
Sounds Concert Series! The
Dave Matthews Tribute band
will be with us on Friday,
November 20, from 7 p.m.
until 8:30 p.m. at the Main
Beach Parking Lot, 149 SE
21st Ave. Music lovers are
invited to bring their blankets and chairs to sit on the
beach, or wade in the surf, as
they listen to the warm tunes
of the band. Admission is
free to the public.
Road Closures during
the event include Ocean
Way, from SE 1st Street to
SE 2nd Street along with the
front, beach side portion of
the Main Beach Parking Lot.
They will close at 6 p.m. on
Friday, November 20 and
will reopen at 9:30 p.m. If
you have questions regarding
Sheriff ’s Report
the event please visit www.
deerfield-beach.com/beachsounds or call the Community
Events and Outreach Division
at 954-480-4429.
Finally, I want to remind
you that if you would like
to share an idea or concern,
please contact me through the
City Manager’s office at 954480-4263, or via email at web.

SO and COP: Partners
in a Safer Broward
Many Broward residents
want to get involved to
promote greater public safety
in their communities. This
month, I wanted to highlight
one of the many volunteer
opportunities we offer at
the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
The Citizen Observer Patrol
(COP) program, in which
more than 1,000 Broward
County residents participate,
targets local crime prevention within a district by
providing a visible presence
in local neighborhoods.
COP volunteers are local residents who help BSO
fight crime by patrolling their
community, looking out for
suspicious activity or potential hazards and offering
assistance to neighbors.
Their high visibility in their
COP uniforms is a valuable
addition to local law enforcement and a deterrent to crime.
Administered by each local
BSO district, the COPs are
there to help people, to observe and to report incidents
to law enforcement. Their
vigilance enhances the patrols
of deputies working in their
communities.
COPs serve as extra eyes
and ears of BSO, making our
streets safer. Recently, two
COPs observed a possible
DUI suspect and notified their
local dispatch. The suspect’s vehicle was found and
stopped and the individual
was arrested. It was discovered that the driver was also
linked to a hit-and-run crash
earlier that evening. There is
no doubt these COPs helped
to prevent a tragic event from
occurring.
COPs often function as
friendly BSO ambassadors
to the many tourists who
visit Broward County. Mem-
bers of this unit provide an
invaluable service to BSO
deputies, whose time and
focus are most often directed
elsewhere. COPs also assist
our deputies by providing
help with traffic and parking
enforcement.
Last year, Lauderdale-ByThe-Sea resident Bill Johansen
approached his BSO district
command with an innovative
idea: create a COP bike unit
to increase visibility and accessibility of law enforcement
in his community. Shortly
after, Bill’s idea was implemented. Today, eight COP
volunteers, including Bill,
make up the LBTS bike unit.
In their short time serving as
an extra set of eyes and ears
for law enforcement, they
have produced successes.
Members from the unit were
at the Farmer’s Market in a local park when an 80-year-old
man exhibited signs he was
suffering a stroke. They immediately called emergency
services and ensured help was
on the way. The unit has also
assisted searches for missing
persons and even helped to
remove a fish hook from an
injured pelican.
The COPs carry on a proud
tradition of cooperation
between law enforcement and
the citizens we serve. If you
see one of these dedicated
volunteer citizens, please take
a moment to thank them for
their time and efforts.
Together – BSO and neighbors – we make a great home
team.

The Art of Halloween II
By SHELLY BASKIN
I
t’s the end of October;
the last days of summer;
the shortness of daylight but
there is one redeeming event
– Halloween. It’s a favorite
time for children, as well as
adults; and it just happens to
be the busiest shopping time
next to Christmas. Yes, not
Easter, not Labor Day and not
even Thanksgiving.
Every year I like to do an
essay on this. Maybe because
it brings back such great
memories. So many things
were better in the days of yesteryear. Kids were able to trick
or treat by themselves or with
friends; they were able to go
anywhere; they could stay out
extra late. Now of course, parents must be nearby and that
probably takes away some of
the fun.
All friends assemble at Keira’s house during the first hint
of darkness. There is Gabriella, Dorinda, Ariana, Kelly and
Willow. And Tiffany,Taryn,
Samantha, Madison, Lourdes.
Then, there is Kyleigh, Alexa,
Ariel and Deandra. The
names in the past were Ruth,
Sadie, Martha, Judith, Maxine
and Harriet – so much has
changed, including the street
names. Ronnie, Toots, Rosie,
Waldy and I (Red) went from
house to house looking for a
special treat. We went along
Central Ave., Second Street,
Hillcrest, Devoe, Yonkers and
Main. Now the locations include Canal Walk, Lake Shore
Drive, Witherspoon Way, Forest Avenue, Evergreen Lane,
Patriots Way, River View and
Peach Tree.
One thing that hasn’t
changed is the old haunted
house, always at the end of
the street and always in need
of repair – the roof shingles,
broken windows, overgrown
grass, cracked siding and
loose pavers in the driveway.
It also had dim lighting, a
lack of trick or treaters and a
grumpy owner who looked
as though he had a grudge
against the entire town.
Yes, it’s only once a year.
This event is for everyone.
Even adults get together for
parties and costume judging.
The food is colored orange,
black and purple; the drinks
are covered with spiders and
webs. It is almost a dare to
sample something. Dunkin’
Donuts and McDonalds do it
up well! Even the staff joins
in and attempts to scare the
customers into an extra Iced
Coolada or a Halloween
Burger. Don’t ask – but the
buns are black!
The department stores have
been preparing for weeks,
and the costumes have been
flying off the shelves. There
are aisles and aisles of candy,
ornaments and yard effects
such as tombstones, ghouls,
skeletons and hands emerging from the dirt.
The day turns into a week
if you count the preparation
and shopping. And, don’t
forget the Halloween parades
and parties that never end.
And there is more fun, goodies and memories that can fill
a pumpkin. There is so much
to write about – maybe next
year I’ll touch on costumes.
Watering days - Thursdays & Sundays for turf grass.
Sundays only - plants and shrubs.
No potable (city water) is to be used at any time.
We are irrigating shrubs and plants only one of the two available days because shrubs and plants have deeper roots, and
therefore a larger volume of soil from which to draw water.
Essentially because of their deeper roots, they are more
drought tolerant than shallow rooted turf and need less water.
South Florida Water Management organizes their year-round
water conservation measures by county. Broward County allows
watering only two (2) days per week, per our schedule.
If buildings are doing any new landscaping, please notify your
property manager to determine if the new landscaping is eligible
for 30 day watering. All new landscaping must be at least 50% of
the entire zone. Your property manager will inform Master
Management, in writing, when to begin the 30 day watering.

Florida Headlight Laws
Headlights on Cars and Motorcycles
All motor vehicles in Florida must have
2 headlights in good working order that
shine a white light. The headlights must
not be covered or altered in any way.
You must turn your car headlights
on between the hours of sunset and
sunrise, and when it is raining
or when visibility is insufficient due to lighting
or weather conditions. Failure to use approved
headlights could result in being cited for a moving
violation, the fine for which varies based upon
frequency and severity – up to a maximum of $500.
You must have your headlights on at all times
while riding a motorcycle, even during the day.
Bicycle Headlights
If you are riding your bicycle between
sunset and sunrise, you must use the following lights on your bike or risk a $15 fine:
A white lamp on the front, visible from at least 500 feet.
A red reflector on the back, visible from at least 600 feet

It’s Frank My Feline Friend
By HELENE WAYNE
I
f I told you this one
before, just turn the
page and read something
else. It’s about a fly, not
a fly in a baseball game,
just a plain little bug that
sometimes flies into our
lives.
We were playing cards
in the Clubhouse the other
night when one of them
flew into our cardroom
(I’m sure that he didn’t
show a membership card
to the guard that was on
duty.) When he landed
on my cards I said, “Look
who’s here, it’s Frank.”
My fellow card players, all
seven of them, looked at
me strangely. Therefore, it
was incumbent upon me
to tell them this silly bit.
My husband was an
accountant and one of his
clients was a glazier. We
had called him to come
to repair a broken win-
dow that we had in the
garage. He treated us like
a member of his family
and didn’t rush to come
and replace it. Therefore,
whenever a fly found that
opening he or she would
come in to visit with us.
Our whole family got into
the habit of calling this
visitor by the name of our
client, which was Frank.
Occasionally a second fly
would join Frank and she
got a name too, it turned
out to be Virginia who
was his lady friend.
This all took place too
many years ago to give
you a number but we and
our children always did
and still do name our local
flies. Therefore, since he
was alone on my cards, it
was just Frank this time.
My card playing friends
know I’m a bit strange
and put up with me, I
guess they need my hand
in the game.
By AVIVA RAVEL
P
uddin was a regal cat.
In fact, the neighbours
called him King of Clinton as all
the cats on the street followed
him around. He was privy to
choice tidbits and gladly shared
his haul with his entourage.
When I was home alone,
Puddin was my companion.
He sat on my feet when I wrote
my stories and plays, never
budging, as though the slightest move on his part would
disturb my concentration. We
had interesting one-sided
conversations while I accomplished such boring tasks as
peeling potatoes and carrots.
My husband cut a flap at
the bottom of the kitchen door
so Puddin had constant free
access to the house. Occasionally, he skipped town for a
day or two but always turned
up none the worse for wear.
With one exception: he arrived
one day covered with coal
dust, apparently having been
inadvertently locked in a coal
cellar for two days without
food or water. I gave him a
good scrubbing on the balcony;
his unique fur was black on the
outside, white underneath.
On the morning of my 40th
birthday, the household woke
as usual – the three children
and their father scrambled into
their clothes, clamored for use
of the washroom, gulped their
breakfast, grabbed their lunch
sandwiches, and headed for
work or school as the case may
be. I, working the afternoon
shift at a Hebrew Day School,
stayed in bed.
“Bye, Eema,” the children
shouted as they left.
“Bye, Aviva, have a nice
day,” from the husband.
The door slammed shut and
the house was silent. No one
remembered my birthday. Not
a whisper about that important
occasion. Half my life was
over, gone, irretrievable, and
what had I accomplished? I
hadn’t invented the telephone,
fly paper, or written Jane Eyre.
Nobody cares about me, I
mumbled, nobody acknowledges 40 years of living. Tears
rolled down my cheeks, then
turned into sobs.
Suddenly, I heard a swooshing at the back door, and the
flap opened and shut. Puddin
had arrived after his night’s
prowling. He padded toward
my bed and hunched on the
floor as though waiting for an
invitation to climb in with me.
“Hi, Puddin.”
With that, he leaped on to
the bed and with a meow he
dropped something on the quilt.
I raised my head and cried,
“What is that?”
Another meow.
“Oh, I see,” I said, taking a
good look. A bird. A dead one
at that. “Did you bring it for
me?” Another meow.
“Thank you Puddin. You’re
the only one in the family who
remembered my birthday.
Thank you.” I wiped my tears
on the sheet. “Now, take it
outside and give it proper burial.” I stroked his black and
white fur gently. He purred,
and very pleased with himself,
he retrieved the bird, leaped off
the bed and made a grand exit.

From Staten Island to 42nd Street
Text and Photos by SID BIRNS
F
riday, August 7,
was one of my many
birthdays; and it was in the
afternoon of that day that my
wife Gloria and I were going
to see a Broadway play. We
started out from the southwest corner of Staten Island
(from the Holiday Inn) and
headed for the Staten Island
Ferry which would take us
to the ferry docks at Battery
Park on the tip of Manhattan Island. From there, we
would take the subway
north to 42nd Street and
Times Square. Once at Times
Square, we would walk north
on 7th Avenue to 47th Street,
turn left on 47th and walk to
the Brooks Atkinson Theatre
where the play we would see
was It Shoulda Been You, starring Tyne Daly of Cagney and
Lacey television fame.
Well, we got on the ferry
somewhere around four in
the afternoon and started to
cross the Hudson River. Now
I have to tell you, the ferry is
probably one of the best free
rides in New York. It gives
one the opportunity to see the
Manhattan skyline, the Statue
of Liberty (France’s gift to the
United States) and Ellis Island
where, for many years, immigrants from all parts of the
world arrived to be processed
and ultimately, become citizens of the U.S.
Then, of course as the ferry
approaches the dock, majestically in front of you is the new
One World Financial Center
which replaced the famous
Twin Towers.
The ferry docks, the gates
open and people start pouring
out, heading in all directions;
we head for the subway. It’s
a quick ride to 42nd St. and
Times Square where we get
off and head for the 42nd
Street and 7th Avenue exit.
We exit on to the street and
are immediately surrounded
by throngs of people, once
again, heading in all directions.
We start walking north on
7th Avenue; it’s now around
5:30 in the evening and the
streets are mobbed, people
everywhere, it’s slow walking
uptown to 47th Street. Now
for me, a native New Yorker,
I am taken aback by how
busy it is and notice that 7th
Avenue (where we are) is now
a plaza. There are tables and
chairs for people to sit, eat,
drink or just people watch. There are more people then I
have ever seen, moving along
Ferry ride from Staten Island. On left is Statue of Liberty and in center is the lower Manhattan skyline.
in all directions, on the great
White Way.
And speaking of that,
there are now more moving,
colorful signs of every kind
to catch your attention, trying to persuade you to buy
their product; actually, it’s
pretty hard to resist. Gloria
and I still have time to stop at
Sbarro’s Restaurant and grab
a quick bite of pizza before we
head to the theatre. I cannot
believe how many different
types of pizza there are. Have
I been living in a third-world
country? So many things have
changed, including the food;
it’s like I’ve been out of touch
with what’s been going on.
The play was entertaining,
a musical comedy played to a
full house. Now it’s time for
us to head back to our hotel
on Staten Island. (I chose that
location because the cost for a
room is one third the price of
hotels in Manhattan).
We start our walk back to
the subway the same way
we came. It’s about 10:45
p.m., and the crowds seem
to be more than when we
first got here. The intensity
of the Broadway signs seem
to be even brighter and more
demanding of our attention
and the thing I noticed mostly
The plaza that used to be 7th Avenue where you can enjoy the sights,
sounds and even smells of food emanating from the restaurants.
was that everyone, from kids
on up, and I mean everyone,
was taking pictures with
some form of camera: iPods,
phones, aim and shoot cameras – incredible! Just think if
this wasn’t the digital age and
we were still back in the dark
ages of using film, how much
money would be spent on
buying film and then processing it. The world has become
one big camera, and the cell
phone has made the world
one big telephone; the digital
age is in full bloom!
With all the picture-taking
going on, I’m feeling like a
tourist, looking and gawking
Famous New York skyline with One World Financial
Center standing high above all other buildings.
Don’t Be Fooled
Any mechanic or service man who comes

Check with: East Coast Maintenance & Management 954-428-7015
or - Seacrest Services 888-828-6464
at all the activity going on in
just this five block area. All
I can say is “Wow, it wasn’t
anything like this when I was
growing up and took the subway in from Brooklyn. There’s

As I See It Part I
By ROLF GRAYSON
A
little older than I, to
be exact nine months
older, of bigger build and his
full name was Erwin Gruenzeig (Umlaut U.).
It was April 15, 1927, my
first day of school and about
two months shy of my sixth
birthday. My father had a
bike with a small seat mounted in front on the handlebar
in which I sat whenever he
took me along for a ride.
Although the vast majority of people had bicycles,
Munich, Germany had a very
extensive streetcar transportation system covering the
whole city, which was therefore the most popular mode
of transportation. In later
years, buses augmented this
transportation system, but
until mid-1939, the year I was
able to leave Munich, streetcars were still the most popular ones. The preferred way of
getting around however was
walking, unless when it was
too far, bicycle or streetcars
were used.
Growing up, I was a sickly
child and often had to miss
school, but as I got older,
near my Bar Mitzvah, my
health improved and I had
little trouble after that. The
same with my growth, right
through about the same age,
I was always the shortest in
every class and while I never
grew very tall, I was no longer
a midget either.
The Jewish community
built and maintained a private
school for the first four school
years, after which we all went
to the regular public school
near our home. This original
school was quite a distance
from my home, but had a
regular secular for curriculum
except some Jewish ritual and
festival teachings.
I was given a season card
on the streetcar which ended
after the second grade when
walking (about 45 minutes)
was the way to go. Only
during the very harsh winter months were we given a
streetcar season ticket.
There were two rows of
benches which seated two pupils each, with a lift up desk
to store some small items. I
am sure that because of my
size, I was placed on the first
row bench.
Erwin, who was brought in
by his mother, was a little late
and was placed next to me,
which worked out fine and
stayed that way for the next
four years. Erwin and I hit it
off good, right from the start,
and we remained friends up
to the time of his death in
Israel. He was always a jolly,
good mood fellow and many
of his funny remarks helped
me to get over my original
anxiety because of starting a
new chapter (school.)
Our teacher named Herr
Adler, a former German officer from WWI, was a very
strict disciplinarian, who
made good use of his cane,
but he also had a confusing
physical problem. He wore
extremely thick lens glasses
and as he was cross-eyed, got
many of us including yours
truly frequently into great
difficulty. When reprimanding someone nearby, he often
looked straight into my face
and started to berate what I
thought was me. However,
when I started to protest his
raving, he slightly turned his
head away from me yelling,
“I am not talking to you.”
How confusing. It got me into
difficulty more than once as
Erwin always made a crack or
two under his breath which
made me laugh and feeling
his cane more often that I care
to remember. After the fourth
year ended we all returned
to the public school nearest
our home, which meant that
Erwin and I did not see each
other too often, although we
kept in as close contact as was
possible.
The beginning of 1933 and
the start of Nazi tyranny in
Germany changed much
including school attendance.
Starting in late 1934, which
was the last year we were allowed to attend public school,
after that we went back to the
Jewish school for all Jewish
children in the city. This new
ruling applied to the whole
country, which caused a
hopelessly overcrowded condition and the teaching staff
was almost unable to cope
CVE REPORTER
with the throng of all those
pupils. Once again, Erwin and
I sat together for the last year
of our school. After school
ended Erwin found a job as
an apprentice to become a
chef, while I went to a factory
to apprentice in the tool and
die making industry.
I had been very active
in this Habonim and had
assumed a leadership role
which brought me in very
close contact with our main
Berlin office, which acted as
a quasi-Palestinian consulate and caused me to work
closely with them. We organized illegal immigration for
youngsters to go to Palestine
after 1937, seeing that Britain
closed all entry into Palestine
for Jews in late 1936. Life
became unbearably difficult for
Jews in Germany and all our
efforts were concentrated to
find ways to get out of this hell.
In May of 1939 I received
an official notice from Gestapo headquarters forcing me
to leave Germany by June 12
(my 18th birthday) or threatening me with immediate arrest.
We had learned by that time
that the Shanghai China area,
which was under Japanese
occupation, allowed Jews to
go there so I started to make
plans to see if I could manage
to get there as well. When I
notified my Berlin contact of
my dilemma they told me to
forget China but come to Berlin
as they would take care of me.
My next request was what to
do about Erwin, whom upon
my request they immediately
included in the invitation to
come with me to Berlin.
Beginning of June 1939

39-A
saw the two of us taking the
night train to Berlin, where
upon arrival we were taken to
a villa on the outskirts of the
city, (Niederschoenhausen)
to move into a furnished roof
apartment waiting for us.
We worked there for about
six weeks, when the British
Consulate issued us two visas
to go to England.
Our conditional visa had
been given for us to train agricultural workers and upon
a three years completion, we
promised to move and settle
in Australia, then still a British
colony. Sitting on a freighter
and having a carefree time
for three days, until we finally arrived in London docks
around August 2. We were
placed in a hostel for about
three weeks and then sent to
Yorkshire to start work on a
local farm.
During the time we lived
in this hostel in Crickelwood,
we had a chance every day to
walk around London and got
to see that big and fascinating
city. This hostel was operated by a couple hired by the
Jewish agency to take care of
the food and laundry. Most of
us were grown men with me
being the youngest, and we
did not take too kindly to the
strict rules the woman tried
to enforce. A movie would
get us home way after 10 p.m.
and we always found the
door locked. The husband,
a much more understanding person, usually sat in the
kitchen reading the evening
papers so he would be waiting to let us in, often quite a
bit later.
To be continued in the
December issue.

Bicycle Safety
colors when riding day or night. Also wear
something that reflects light, such as reflective
tape or markings, or flashing lights.
Watch for and Avoid Road Hazards. Be
on the lookout for hazards such as potholes,
broken glass, gravel, puddles, leaves, and
dogs. All these hazards can cause a crash.
If you are riding with friends and you are
in the lead, yell out and point to the hazard to alert the riders behind you.
See and Be Seen. Whether daytime, dawn,
Avoid Riding at Night. It is far more dandusk, foul weather, or at night, you need to gerous to ride at night than during the day
be seen by others. Wearing white has not been because you are harder for others to see. If
shown to make you more visible. Rather, al- you have to ride at night, wear something
ways wear neon, fluorescent, or other bright that makes you more easily seen by others.
Bicycle riding is fun, healthy, and a great
way to be independent, but it is important
to remember that a bicycle is not a toy; it’s
a vehicle! Be cool – follow some basic safety
tips when you ride.
Safe Riding Tips
Make sure you have reflectors on the front
and rear of your bicycle (white lights on the
front and red rear reflectors are required by
law), in addition to reflectors on your tires,
so others can see you.
Many bicycle-related crashes resulting in
injury or death are associated with the bicyclist’s behavior, including such things as not
wearing a bicycle helmet, riding into a street
without stopping, turning left or swerving
into traffic that is coming from behind, running a stop sign, and riding the wrong way
in traffic.

CVE Nature Club’s Year at a Glance
By DORIS WACHSLER
A
lways on the lookout
for intriguing visits
to the natural world and
stimulating speakers for our
monthly meetings, the Board
of CVE Nature Club explored
many possibilities and is
excited about its upcoming
season. Meetings are held on
the first Wednesday of each
month and bus trips on the
third Wednesday, December
through March. We try to
alternate trips between new
destinations and those our
members request we repeat.
Our first program is on December 2 at 1 p.m. in Group
Room A at the Clubhouse.
We look forward to greeting
returning members and welcoming new interested Village
residents as well. Our meetings are open to anyone who
wishes to attend. If you would
like to climb aboard for the
December trip, please bring
your check or cash to this first
meeting.
Saving and Improving the
Urban-Wilderness within
our Midst – Deerfield Island
Park spotlights a park very
close to home. The Friends
of Deerfield Island Park was
created to add local input and
support for this valuable wild
island habitat. Members Ira
Wechterman and David Locke
and Park Naturalist, Katherine Hendrickson, will present
a program highlighting the
VETERANS DAY
value of this island of green,
bordered by the intracoastal
waterway, Hillsboro Canal
and Royal Palm Canal.
An unusual horticultural adventure will be ours
for the December 16 trip.
Mounts Botanical Garden in
West Palm Beach has a three
month exhibit, Nature Connects by Sean Kenney featuring 15 super-sized structures
made out of nearly 500,000
LEGO bricks, which are located throughout the gardens.
His exhibits have broken
attendance records around the
world. He says, “Just as each
LEGO piece is connected with
the others, everything in nature is also connected – flowers with insects, butterflies on
plants and even people with
all of nature.”
Mounts Botanical Garden
is moderate in size and easy
walking with benches conveniently located for viewing
and resting. A Master Gardener will escort our group. After
taking in the beauty of these
gardens, we will then depart
for the Serenity Garden Tea
House where will enjoy high
tea. This beautifully quaint
tea house is full of charm and
character. It is a 1920s Victorian home filled with eclectic
china and antiques. All the
settings are misplaced china
on an array of beautiful table
cloths with each table having
a centerpiece of fresh flowers.
Tea is served in tea cozzies.
This is a trip not to be missed!
For additional information,
pick up the November issue
of the Nature Voice in the Staff
Office at the Clubhouse or
call Trip Coordinator, Doris
Wachsler, at 954-427-7701.
On January 6, 2016, we
will meet at 1 p.m.in the Party Room. Ben Hicks, a local
wildlife photographer, will
be our guest speaker. He will
present slides demonstrating
his love of, and dedication to,
protecting nature; you will
be amazed and delighted
with his underwater scenes of
marine life and other photos
of the animal kingdom. His
work will be available for purchase at the conclusion of the
meeting so be sure to bring
your checkbook or cash!
On January 20, we return
to Billie Swamp Safari on
the Big Cypress Seminole
Reservation. After driving
through undeveloped country and orange groves, we’ll
arrive at Billie Swamp. The
buggy ride is a great way to
see large animals like water
buffaloes and ostriches close
up. During the bumpy ride,
the drivers explain Seminole
culture and legends and point
out indigenous plants. Trip
Coordinator is Carol Carr. Additional information can be
found in the December issue
of the Nature Voice. On February 3, we will
meet in the Party Room.
Our speaker will be Dr.
Kate Detwiler, an Assistant
Professor of Anthropology
at FAU. She was part of a
team of researchers from
the Lukuru Foundation
who discovered a new species of monkey, the lesula
monkey, found in the Congo. Dr. Detwiler’s expertise
is in determining a
species genetic
and anatomical
distinctiveness and
observing its behavior and
ecological niche in the wild.
Our Club hasn’t been to
Lego Monarch Butterfly
Lion Country Safari in several
years so we will travel there
on February 17. You can
become a part of the herd at
Florida’s only drive-through
Safari adventure! so claims
the ad for this popular park.
Seated on the bus, we are
safely enclosed and some of
the Safari’s 900 animals are
out in the open for viewing.
As we slowly wind our way
amongst the large animals,
our knowledgeable tour guide
will tell us about the inhabitants of the Safari. The ride is
about an hour to an hour and
a half. Trip Coordinator is
Doris Wachsler.
We are then free to roam
the park – see the animal
theatre, feed giraffes from a
special platform, etc. or just
find an interesting place to
watch the goings on. Additional information will be
in the January issue of the
Nature Voice.
Capping the program portion of our club, we will party
in a new and different way!
We will have a Grapes, Canapés and Wine (or other beverage) Social in the Party Room
on March 2. We are delighted
that grape grower, raconteur
and CVE resident, Mel Nass,
will enlighten us about grape
horticulture while we munch
and sip.
Our final trip will be on
March 16 to the Deering Estate in Miami. It continues our
recent Nature Club tradition
of visiting historic homes.
The house and grounds of the
Deering Estate were featured
several times in the 1980s TV
series Miami Vice. Trip Coordinator is Carol Carr. Further
information can be found
in the February issue of the
Nature Voice.
Stay tuned throughout the
year for more news!

USMC Day celebrates the
birth of the United States
Marine Corps. The Marine
Corps were created during
the Revolutionary War.
The Continental Congress
of the newly created United
States of America, authorized
the creation of the Continen-
tal Marines on November 10,

U.S. Marine Corps. It is often
abbreviated as USMC.
The Marine Corps has
proudly participated in every
war that has involved the
United States.
If you see a Marine today,
thank them for their contributions to protecting our
country. Active or retired,
they deserve our thanks and
appreciation.

Helpful Health Hints
By DR. NORMA LOCKER
A
ll about Sleep
It seems that there
is an epidemic of insomnia in
our society. I have been teaching my course, From Negative
to Positive with Mind Power,
(which is now entitled, Body,
Mind and Spirit) in our Clubhouse since 1986. Of the thousands of people who have
participated, I can safely assert that at least half of them
have complained of chronic
sleeplessness. Research has
shown that people who sleep
less than six hours every night
are in poorer health than
those who get seven to nine
hours of sleep; however, there
are exceptions to that. Some
people can subsist on less
than six hours nightly. (Personally, I need eight to nine
hours of solid sleep every
night; and I manage to get it.)
Lack of sleep has been linked
to heart disease, a weakened
immune system, nervousness
and irascibility. A recent 16year study has added weight
gain to the list; poor sleepers
can gain at least two pounds
every year which can equate
to 20 pounds in ten years.
Sleep specialist, Dr. Richard
Bootsin, says, “Poor sleepers
have a higher rectal temperature, higher skin resistance
and more vasoconstrictions
(narrowing blood vessels) per
minute and more body movements per hour than good
sleepers. This means that the
insomniac’s autonomic nervous system is preparing him
perfectly for dodging rush
hour traffic, not for sleep.”
Some causes of sleeplessness:
Getting too much sleep
(retiring too early to bed and
sleeping too late in the morning). Spending more time in
bed than you should, disrupts
the normal sleep cycle. Working night shifts and attempting to sleep during the day
disrupts the normal Circadian
Body Rhythm. Some people alternate shifts between
nights and days which exacerbates the situation. The body
is like a clock, a magnificent
creation of perfect rhythm.
Taking naps. (This works
for optimistic people, those
who believe they have some
measure of control over their
lives. More about that later.)
Vigorous activity, mental or
physical, too close to bedtime.
Five or six hours earlier are
recommended. Boredom with a dull life.
Depression: lack of stimulating, absorbing activity.
Stress and anxiety: taking
problems and/or worries to bed.
“Sleep tight. Never take
your cares to bed; it’s one of
life’s worst habits. It solves no
problems and instead, they
multiply like rabbits.” (Un-
known Author)
Concern about sleeplessness and constant repetition
about not sleeping (negative
sleep consciousness).
Stimulants such as alcohol,
caffeine, tea, chocolate, cola
and other soft drinks react on
you three to four hours after
ingestion. Some medicinal
drugs are also stimulants. Dieting: under 1,000 calories daily disrupts SWS (Slow
Wave Sleep).
Eating heavily before bedtime.
Aches, pains, heartburn,
acid reflux, poor circulation,
discomfort, muscle spasms,
bad mattress and/or pillow.
Temperature irregularities
in bedroom (too hot or too
cold).
Too much light which can
deplete the supply of melatonin in the brain, a chemical
which contributes to a good
night’s sleep.
Smoking cigarettes and
other tobacco reacts on the
nervous system.
Dependency on sedatives
can result in chronic insomnia if used for more than two
weeks. It becomes a vicious
cycle: the less effective, the
more you take; the more
you take, the more addicted
you get and the less you are
able to sleep. When you try
to stop, you may have vivid
nightmares. Sleep medications suppress the amount of
REM (Rapid Eye Movement),
the stage of sleep in which
dreams occur. When pills are
stopped, a REM rebound results almost like DTs (Delirium Tremens). People usually
continue the pills to avoid
these unpleasant effects. If
they would wait four or five
days, they would diminish.
Bad habits: watching TV,
eating, reading in bed, etc.
Frequent trips to the bathroom.
Disturbing noises: barking
dogs, howling cats, snoring,
train whistle, heavy traffic, etc.
Obesity can cause sleep
apnea which is when breathing stops periodically. This
is health impairing and
sometimes fatal. One of the
side effects is loud, habitual
snoring.
How to Beat Insomnia and
Sleep Tight:
Cultivate a habit of meditating daily. (Listen to my
CD, A Unique Meditation
Experience, for the progressive
relaxation, healing and development of a positive attitude.)
Autosuggestion and imagination: Lie on your back, take
deep abdominal breaths and
repeat, “Relax, sleep, relax,
sleep, etc.” Visualize yourself
floating away on a soft, fluffy
cloud. Imagine pleasant,
peaceful scenes with yourself
at the center of them: pastoral
scenes, swaying in a hammock under a shade tree, in a
small boat or raft floating on a
calm lake.
Train your mind and body
to respond to the word Relax.
Repetition is the key.
Acquire a sleep consciousness
and change negative belief
patterns. (Behavioral modification, dealt with later.)
Keep busy, active and
involved during the day. Occupy yourself with something
enjoyable, satisfying and
productive. Try to complete
whatever task you begin to
avoid fretting about it.
Exercise daily or at least
three times a week, vigorously. The best time is early in
the day. If done before dinner,
between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.,
you will induce Slow Wave
Sleep (SWS) as sleep researchers call it. This is a very deep,
restorative sleep, especially to
the body.
Walk in fresh air or open a
window in cool weather and
breathe deeply, ditto in an
air-conditioned room.
Take a comfortably hot bath
before retiring. Soak for a
while with bubbles until you
are groggy. Set a timer clock if
you live alone or ask someone
to alert you after 15 minutes.
Calcium/magnesium tablets can induce sleep because
of their relaxing qualities.
Take one or two with your
evening meal or with a rice
cake or cracker before retiring. (If you take meds, consult
your doctor.)
There are many herbal teas,
too many to mention here;
chamomile is one. Check
the labels at your grocery or
health food store.
Homeopathic remedies
have no side effects.
L-tryptophan is an amino
acid which promotes serotonin, a sleep-inducing chemical in the brain. Half an hour
or an hour prior to bedtime,
eat small amounts of cheese,
nuts, turkey with a rice cake
or cracker and some banana.
Warm cereal with milk.
Place a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow.
Go to bed when you are
naturally and most consistently sleepy. Don’t fight the urge
when it arises.
Become aware of your
body’s sleep clock. How much
sleep do you actually require?
Prevent your blood pressure from rising before
bedtime. Avoid anxieties,
irritations or tensions.
CVE REPORTER
Prepare yourself mentally and physically for sleep.
Make it a regular nightly ritual, something you anticipate.
Brush teeth, hair, shower,
bathe, set out sleepwear, etc.
If you think your pillow
or mattress needs changing,
attend to it.
Some yoga postures are
designed to induce sleep.
For acid reflux, raise your
head with an extra pillow or a
wedge under your mattress.
Get into your favorite
sleeping position initially.
Satisfying sexual activity
has a soporific effect.
Keep the room dark, only
a nightlight in the bathroom.
Avoid looking at light, it depletes melatonin. Wear a sleep
mask if necessary.
If noise disturbs your
sleep, wear earplugs. To stop
snoring, stitch a pocket on
the back of a pajama top and
place a tennis ball into it. Find
a saline nasal spray lubricant,
additive-free, and use it every
night. For suspected sleep
apnea, see a doctor or sleep
specialist.
Eliminate stimulants and
overcome harmful habits:
smoking, alcohol, etc.
Lose weight, if you are
overweight, but do it by modifying your lifestyle not only
your eating habits.
If you diet, do not go below
1,000 calories daily. Don’t go
to bed hungry.
Acquiring a Sleep Consciousness:
Think of sleep and only sleep.
Repeat one or more of what
follows to yourself and to
others: “As soon as I hit the
pillow, I’m out for the night;
I never have trouble sleeping;
I love my sleep; I’m a good
sleeper; I need ? hours of
sleep every night, and I get it;
Sleep is important to me, and
I sleep well.”
Bed is only for two things:
sleeping and sex (or if you’re
not well).
If you take your troubles to
bed with you, do what I do. “I
give this entire matter over to
God for the best solution. It is
done. Thank you.”
When you sleep on your
side with bent knees, swing
your top leg over your lower
leg not on top of it. The arm
on top should rest loosely
on your hip or thigh so your
PAGE
9-B
spine is straight and your
heart is not compressed. The
other arm will naturally find
its perfect position. If you
sleep on your back, protect
your spine with a soft pillow
under your knees. Never
sleep on your stomach; you
compromise your respiration.
Switch words are words or
phrases which have almost
magical properties: we and
together help our conscious
and subconscious levels of
mind to act as one unit. To
stop disturbing thoughts and
pop off to sleep, say mentally:
“Cancel, together, thank you.
Off, together, thank you.”
Keep warm, for arthritic
pain, with an electric blanket, flannel pajamas, thermal
underwear or a sleeping
bag. (Fresh air in the room
though.)
In bed, say mentally, “We
want the limbs and the entire
body to rest in a relaxed,
comfortable, painless position
all through the night. Change,
together, thank you. Care,
together, thank you.”
Gradually reduce sedatives.
Dr. Q. Registein suggests that
if you take capsules as sleep
aids, gradually reduce the
dosage by taking half of your
month’s supply apart and
replacing about one eighth of
the powder with flour. (I suggest non-fat dry milk crushed
to a powder because milk
contains L-tryptophan.) Refit
the capsules and mix them
with the full-strength pills
so you won’t know which
ones have been modified. The
following month increase the
flour or milk powder in more
than half of the pills, etc., until
you have gradually weaned
yourself off of the dependency without withdrawal
symptoms.
Sweet Slumber
Ah, sweet slumber, wrap
your gentle arms around me.
Hold me close in your
embrace.
Let me drift among the
shadows.
Take me to your quiet place.
Transport me to tranquil
scenes where my love awaits.
There we’ll blend into each
other as we commune in
silent reminiscence.

Telling It Like It Is While Growing Old
By SY BLUM, Associate Editor
W
hat follows will, in all
likelihood, not make
your day. This writer is now
starting his 22nd year working for the Reporter and has
been privy to all the changes
made by the various editors
and the brain trust of this
most venerable publication.
As a result today’s Reporter is
produced with state of the art
equipment and production
along with a cadre of selfless
volunteers.
Riding sidesaddle along
with my years with the
Reporter has of course, been
the passage of time. I now
find myself in my 99th year
and with much free time on
my hands, stop frequently
to think about the life I am
gradually leaving behind and
what life if any, lies ahead.
Along with my wife Bernice, we are very cognizant of
the fact that we are extremely
fortunate to still have almost
all our marbles and live dayto-day as we have for many
years. For example, we swim
frequently along with my
writing for the Reporter, I still
type all my columns, while
Bernice occasionally works at
her lifelong hobby of painting along with taking care of
our homes and me, here and
in Albany where we spend
our summers. We have been
doing this for 25 years! Also,
at the moment, we both still
drive, but not too far.
While I sincerely hope this
column does not spoil your
day, I reluctantly relate what
happens as you age and
realize there is not much you
can do about it. However it
may, hopefully, soften the
impact as these life events
come to pass.
(P.S. If this does not sound
like your cup of tea, you can
just turn the page.)
Probably the most serious,
at least for us, is the immutable fact that we continue to lose members of our
generation and have come
to realize that the time is not
too far distant when we will
find ourselves adrift in a sea
of younger people who have
nothing in common with us.
Of course most of us have
kids out there to fall back on.
However, lest we forget, they
are of another generation and
they also have their lives to
live. Hopefully they will be
there when you need them in
an emergency and will visit
from time to time, but seldom
can you depend on them for
anything more than that.
So, in my opinion prepare
yourself for this situation
by finding a hobby or adjust
your lifestyle according to
what capabilities you still
have so you can enjoy the
time you have left.
To further exacerbate the
process of growing old we
should be aware that all of us
will lose our physical capabilities to the point that the heretofore automatic daily functions of taking care of yourself
without even thinking about
it now become projects that
sap your limited supply of
energy and leave that much
less for the rest of the day.
Midday naps are a must.
We (Bernice and I) have not
completely escaped the ravages of time but it would serve
no real purpose in stating the
particulars. Suffice to say, we
are paying our dues.
Along the way you will
find that you will have
increasing difficulty remembering names and events that
you had no problems with
in the not too distant past.
Furthermore, you will find it
necessary to cut back on your
social calendar if any there
be. You will become aware
that you can no longer gad
about town attending various,
but truthfully unimportant,
events that previously helped
to make your day. Even attending our wonderful shows
in our theatre will become
increasingly difficult.
But all is not lost, my fellow
CVEers. Advanced age does
have an upside, sort of.
In addition to Senior Citizens’ Discounts, Senior-size
dinners, reduced admission
for many events, discounted fares on many modes of
transportation, we are also
frequently aided by actions of
passersby giving us priority
in seating, accessibility and
in general doing little things
for us that is not done for
folks of a younger generation. Then I have been asked
several times, if alone, if I am
all right.
In conclusion, I would like
to suggest that we are firm
believers in the oft-suggested mandate of those who
should know. That is, if at all
possible, keep moving. Do not
become a couch potato, whatever else we have done in
our lifetime we have always
found time to take a walk,
ride a stationary bike, use the
treadmill or swim, which to
us is the ultimate exercise.
Admittedly, none of these
gestures are game changers
but they do much to make
us more comfortable as we
try to make the best of our
advanced years and they may
even add years to your life.
And to be completely honest,
we should count our blessings that we live in beautiful
Century Village East.

Private Education: Quebec’s Unparalleled Success Story
or baseline to be able to determine convincing conclusions.
It is also true that Quebec,
in its efforts to improve the
quality of education in that
province, has superseded
most provinces in Canada
through its process of providing subsidies. In Quebec, the
level of subsidy at the private
institution level is one out
of every four or 25 percent.
The reality, however, is that
education in Quebec as elsewhere has a snowball effect.
Children with a sound initial
foundation have a better
By BONGS LAINJO
I
n its international youth
education assessment, the
Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) produced some
interesting and compelling
outcomes. It is indeed true
that the OECD study looked
at certain indicators through
its international assessment
of young adults. The study,
however, concentrated on
education dynamics more in
terms of cross-sectional analysis instead of a more robust,
plausible and comprehensive longitudinal approach.
We all know that the global
educational systems have one
thing in common – process.
Many students start from
kindergarten and continue to
college after going through
elementary, middle, junior
college and college levels of
education. These processes,
of course, vary from country
to country. And there is every
reason to believe that comparing performance across
several countries can be as
challenging as one can expect.
One needs a common ground
chance of demonstrating better performance in the future.
And one of the few exceptions
is when the under performers
subsequently enroll in more
demanding, efficient and
stricter institutions. For example, charter schools in the
U.S. have had a tendency to
improve student performance
regardless of their previous
backgrounds. With its current
funding of private institutions, Quebec has been able to
demonstrate that public funds
can effectively be used to
achieve meaningful and posi-
tive results. Credit also needs
to go to these institutions
for their ability to convince
the general population that
public/private initiatives can
sometimes deliver expected
outcomes.
There is, of course, the
myth that better salary structures produce better teachers.
And there is every evidence,
both in industry and academia that money only serves
as a motivating factor for a
limited amount of time. Good
and dedicated teachers, in
collaboration with students
and their parents, are an
inclusive strategy that makes
educational achievements a
no brainer.
Finally, my thoughts are
that Quebec’s educational
success (especially in private
schools) are based on competitive selection processes,
class sizes, qualified and more
dedicated and motivated staff
and, above all, students’ own
level of motivation. These
qualities need to be simultaneously present for any institution to succeed, and Quebec
is no exception.

Driving

warning signs of
unsafe driving
Issues with health
Health problems don’t
always mean that driving
needs to be stopped, but
they do require extra
vigilance, awareness, and
willingness to correct
them. Some health
problems include:
▪ Conflicting medications.
Certain medications or
combinations of medications
can affect senses and
reflexes. Always check the
label on medications and
double check with your
healthcare team if you are
taking several medications
or notice a difference after
starting a new medication.
▪ Eyesight problems.
Some eye conditions or
medications can interfere
with your ability to focus
your peripheral vision, or
cause you to experience extra
sensitivity to light, trouble
seeing in the dark, or blurred
vision. Can you easily see
traffic lights and street signs?
Or do you find yourself
driving closer and closer,
slowing by a sign to see it?
Can you react appropriately
to drivers coming from
behind or to the side?
▪ Hearing problems.
If your hearing is decreasing,
you may not realize you’re
missing out on important
cues to drive safely. Can you
hear emergency sirens, or if
someone is accelerating next
to you, or honking the horn?
▪ Problems with reflexes
and range of motion.
Can you react quickly
enough if you need to brake
suddenly or quickly look
back? Have you confused
the gas and brake pedals?
Do you find yourself getting
more flustered while
driving, or quick to anger? Is
it comfortable to look back
over your shoulder or does
it take extra effort?
▪ Problems with memory.
Do you find yourself
missing exits that used
to be second nature, or
find yourself getting lost
frequently? While everyone
has an occasional lapse,
if there’s a pattern that is
increasing, it’s time to get
evaluated by a doctor.
Issues on the road
▪ Trouble with the nuts
and bolts of driving.
Do you see yourself making
sudden lane changes, drifting
into other lanes, braking,
or accelerating suddenly
without reason? How about
failing to use the turn signal,
or keeping the signal on
without changing lanes?
▪ Close calls and increased
citations. Red flags include
frequent “close calls” (i.e.,
almost crashing), dents and
scrapes on the car or on
fences, mailboxes, garage
doors, and curbs. Increased
traffic tickets or “warnings”
by traffic or law enforcement
officers.

By LINDA ANTON, JBI Palm Beach Outreach Coordinator
O
rphan Train by Christina Baker Kline is an
American story of mobility
and rootlessness, highlighting
a little known but historically
significant moment in our
country’s past.
Between 1854 and 1929,
so-called orphan trains transported more than 200,000
orphaned, abandoned and
homeless children from the
coastal cities of the eastern
U.S. to the mid-west for adoption. The children, many of
whom experienced great trauma in their short lives, had no
idea where they were going.
The train would simply pull
into a station; and the townspeople assembled to inspect
them to determine whether
they were sturdy enough
for field work, cooking or
cleaning, or simply to adopt a
baby. If a child wasn’t chosen
at the first stop, they would
get back on the train for the
next town, then the next and
then the next.
The author became interested in the historical story
of orphan trains since her
husband’s grandfather was
rumored to be a train rider.
Part of the reason Kline wanted to write a novel
was that in writing fiction you
can dwell on the stark details
of the experience without
really needing to offer the
narrative of redemption. She
wanted to create a strong
character who would survive
the experience of abandonment and at the same time,
show how hard it was to
survive that experience.
Therefore, Orphan Train
is an historical fiction novel
about the relationship between a 17-year-old and a
91-year-old. Kline’s novel
focuses on the effects of abandonment regardless of how
it occurs, how the government dealt with and continues to deal with this issue
and the value of dealing
with one’s past.
Saving children from lives
of depravity and poverty may
be noble but certainly has its
downfalls as well. Both sides
are visible in Orphan Train.
If you are looking for a piece
of U.S. history that many of
us have overlooked, Orphan
Train gives one an inside
view. Enjoy!

SUDOKU
There is really only one rule to
Sudoku: Fill in the game board
so that the numbers 1 through 9
occur exactly once in each row,
column, and 3x3 box. The numbers can appear in any order and
diagonals are not considered. Your
initial game board will consist of
several numbers that are already
placed. Those numbers cannot be
changed. Your goal is to fill in the
empty squares following the simple rule above.
Sudoku doesn’t require any special math skills or
calculations. It is a simple and fun game of logic -- all
that’s needed is brains and concentration.
1. Fill the grid so that the numbers 1 through 9 appear in each
row.

4. A complete Sudoku puzzle
contains the numbers 1 through 9
in every row, column and 3x3 box.
Hint: Start with a square that
only has three numbers missing.
Look at surrounding squares and
grids to see which numbers you
need to fill that 3x3 grid.

I
t was only logical.
Three intelligent
brothers named Tom, Dick
and Harry were arguing as
to who was the smartest.
They asked their father to
settle the issue. He devised
a simple test. He brought
them to a room and explained the test. The father
said “I have three red hats
and two blue hats, and three
chairs. After you are seated,
I will put a hat on each of
you. Without looking at the
hat on your head, you have
to tell me its color.” The
seats were arranged in a
column so that Harry who
sat in the last chair could see
the hats of Tom and Dick,
while Dick who sat in the
middle chair could only see
the hat worn by Tom, who
of course could see nothing.
The father placed a red hat
on Tom’s head, a blue hat on
Dick and a red hat on Harry.
After a while, in the
presence of all his sons, he
asked Harry if he could state
the color of his hat. Harry
replied “No”. He then asked
Dick if could state the color
of his hat, and he also said
“No.” He then asked Tom if
he could name the color of
his hat. After a short time,
Tom Replied “Yes, I have a
red hat and I can prove it.”
Tom was right.
The puzzle is this – how
can you prove it?

Cuz they know.
Letter to a Soldier, To My Friend Sid Birns
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday
That we celebrate each year,
We join with friends and relatives
That we hold so dear.
The turkey cooks,
The kitchen smells so good,
We gather together and give thanks
As we should.
The cooking is done and after
We have all eaten enough
Of all the traditional Thanksgiving stuff
We should all give Thanksgiving plates
To those who do not have enough.
Let’s all remember the sick, the poor
And the frail,
And give to others the food
Of friendship and aid.
And that is my Thanksgiving tale.

An appetizer dressed up
So nice
Champagne cocktails
On cracked ice.
Shrimp and scallops
Are cooked to perfection
I invited my sweetie
The object of my affection.
I’ll prepare a delicious
Lobster stew
Or a rack of lamb
May also do.
Or perhaps you wish
Another dish
Veal Scaloppini, Veal Marsala
With wine a touch
Garlic, steaming hot bread, a green salad
Is never too much.
Dessert is wonderful
Dressed on a chocolate dipped dish
Crème Brulee, fresh strawberries
Topped with whipped cream
Or a chocolate Mousse
If you wish.
Our New Generation Dress Code
I just got off a plane
and things have really changed.
It used to be you had a special

I even remembered wearing pretty gloves
and a hat for an outfit I bought to match.
Candle lights flicker
Such a romantic dinner
For us two.
A lacy napkin, a pink tablecloth
And fresh flowers too.
Well it’s a whole lot different
that you see today –
Flip flops, scanty t-shirts and even
jean shorts are the newest thing.
However the words that you say
Has upset me so!
You’re not hungry now!
You ate two hot dogs an hour ago!
What happened to the good old days?
and the class we used to see
Are we in another world?
Or whatever happened to this new generation
that shows no dignity?
~SANDI LEHMAN
I believe my generation will totally agree
that this new generation shows the kind
of dress code
That’s not what we used to see!

Dream On
Dreams have a way of coming to pass, so don’t be afraid to dream.
It’s like peering through a looking glass for a radiant sunbeam.
Let your mind imagine anything that your waiting heart foresees.
Those desires instantly take wing, and your faith will bring you what you please.

Dear Sid
I’ve never written a letter to a soldier
Although my grandfather, a soldier, was decapitated by Cossacks
Just for being Jewish in the Shtetl of Ukraine, surviving pogroms
Like being in a perpetual anti-Semitic vortex…as a victim
He was the universal soldier, just fighting for his identity
To protect his personhood, his individuality, his dignity, his family
So Dear Sid, as his grandson, as our tragic cellular memory kicks in
Here is my first letter to a soldier, to you
in the year of the 70th anniversary of the ending of World War II.
Written on Monday, May 25, 2015, United States Memorial Day
A day where there is a tribute to Duty, Honor, Country
We participate with respect and requisite solemnity
We reflect on the debt we owe to our veterans
We recognize the painful memories that grow with age.
For those who made the ultimate sacrifice
We wave our flags, bearing witness to the legacies of war,
As you were, Butchered like lambs to the slaughter.*
To the dignified amputees, forged by the anvil of war
To the handicapped, missing arms and legs and of course, the stealth
Posttraumatic Stress Syndrome victims as they march or are wheeled
* The legless, the armless, the blind, the insane… Faceless
In the iconic Memorial Day parade, their blue medaled blazers
Patrician, dignified, elegant, proud, sublimating their sacrifices
Being forever young for the people who loved them
* And the old men march slowly, all bent stiff and sore
The forgotten heroes from a forgotten war.
I would be nervous and anxious to have a loved one
In harm’s way, for dubious goals, without adequate protection
I’m thankful that you’ve returned home safely,
You’re my first soldier, the soldier who I’ve come to know
The soldier I’ve grown to admire and respect in real life
In Century Village Florida, In Montreal, with the Cote St Luc Men’s Club
We are tennis buddies and contributors to the CVE Reporter
You are a wonderful photographer/writer, creative, innovative
Just brilliant with your realist photographs and existential words
I am so proud of you, thank you for your World War II service
To your nation, our beloved neighbor the United States
To our wonderful Canada and to the longest undefended border
Between Canada and the United States of America
Thank you for your service of being on the frontlines
With patriotism, altruism, courage and pride
For defending, protecting and preserving our common values
For democracy, freedom, pluralism, justice and the rule of law
To life, liberty, security and the pursuit of happiness
All the shared truths that we hold so dear, you were in the battle zone
In harm’s way… as part of the greatest generation
* And those that were left, we tried hard to survive
In that mad world of blood, death and fire.
We are always thankful for your efforts, commitment and dedication
Remembering the utterably poignant, the cynicism of war and death
What you risked and sacrificed during your deployment
You made this a better world for all of us today
Living in freedom is a blessing of good fortune
Our freedom exists because hundreds of thousands
Of our countrymen died fighting for it
* But as year follows year, more old men disappear
Someday no one will march there at all.
Today we must remember their contribution…your contribution
On this one single day near the end of May
God Bless America, God Bless Canada
God Bless the Veterans. God Bless Sid Birns.
Love me away from the oppression and repression, away from our city
which had its fill of death Damascene poet, Nizar Qabbani, From a
Soldier’s Lament.
In deepest appreciation for both your service and friendship
I’ve included three iconic songs relating to war. The lyrics should be
read, remembered, shared and understood by us all.
A million thanks.

Answer to the Puzzler from page 26-B
Here is how Tom figured it out, he supposed
that both he and Dick
had blue hats. If so, then
since there were only two
hats, Harry would have
announced he had a red
hat. But Harry said he
could not state the
color of his hat. Therefore
at least one hat had to be
red.
Then Tom assumed
that he had a blue hat.
But, if he had a blue hat,
and Harry could not
state the color, then Dick
seeing a blue hat on Tom
and hearing Harry say
“No,” could only mean
that Dick had a red hat.
But Dick also said “No.”
After hearing both
Harry and Dick say
“No,” this is only possible if Tom had a red hat!
It was only logical.

Here . . . When You Need Us Most
As if living in the city
during those trying times
wasn’t bad enough, in 1981
Howard falls ill with a mysterious virus that soon has a
terrifying name: AIDS. Gooch
charts Howard’s progress
through his illness and writes
unforgettably about the
crashing end to an incandescent era. Beautifully written,
recalling the fabulousness
and horror of the years 1978
to 1989 in New York with
affection and clarity, Smash
Cut is extraordinary and unflinching.
It would be a challenge to
come up with an American
author who has enjoyed more
commercial success than
Nora Roberts. She is a New
York Times bestselling author of
books under her own name as
well as the pen name J.D. Robb.
Over 35 years she has penned
more than 210 novels.
Worldwide, there are more
than 500 million copies of her
novels in print. Not bad for a
housewife who began writing
in 1979 while trapped in her
home with her two small boys
while a blizzard raged outside. “I had nothing else to
do,” she told one interviewer.
Little did she know.
While it’s no secret that her
novels have not won plaudits from literature critics,
her compelling and realistic
stories, true-to-life characters,
snappy dialogue, propulsive
action, gripping suspense and
evocative sense of place, have
kept readers enthralled for years.
The author’s newest tale
takes place in the quaint
Smoky Mountain town of
Rendezvous Ridge where
tourists flock and where locals
have lived forever.
Shelby Foxworth has
longed to return to that
mountain village, her former
home. But after realizing her
dream, resettling there with
her husband Richard and her
beautiful daughter Callie,
Shelby and her daughter suddenly find themselves alone
after Richard goes missing
from a boating accident and is
presumed dead.
Shelby can’t grieve long as
she discovers Richard has left
her millions of dollars in debt
-- and that Richard is not his
real name. Strange characters
begin showing up, people
start dying, and Shelby realiz-
If you lived in New York
City during the 1970s, you
know it wasn’t pretty. The
city was on the verge of
bankruptcy, a Daily News
front page proclaimed the
president’s response to the
city’s plea for help: FORD TO
CITY: DROP DEAD, garbage
went uncollected, a stroll
into the wooded rambles of
Central Park was unthinkable
-- and walking Forty-Second
Street was a dangerous path
past seedy XXX-rated movie
houses, neon-lit porno palaces
and low-life denizens of every
description.
Today, born-again Manhattan -- including all of Forty-Second Street -- is a shiny,
well-scrubbed, sparkling
new world entertainment
and sightseeing destination
attracting millions. The
subways are safe. Families,
joggers, office-workers and
tourists amble through Central Park day and night.
Gleaming, towering
skyscrapers have replaced
shabby, decrepit tenement
buildings.
Author Brad Gooch arrived
in Manhattan in the 1970s,
like many others, young and
eager for artistic and personal
freedom. A hopeful writer,
he met another young man,
trying for success in the filmmaking business and together
the two of them decided to
take on the city.
Thanksgiving in the only
apartment they could afford:
“Howard poking a knife at a
turkey in the dirtiest kitchen
imaginable, done in 20 shades
of grime. At the far end of
the long room were front
windows covered in sheets
of plastic for keeping in heat
in the winter, helped by a gas
heater with a blue flame. A
flimsy mattress, on the floor
pushed against one wall.”
By Matthew Pearl, Penguin,
389 Pages, $27.95
London --1890. Pen Davenport is the most infamous
bookaneer in Europe. A
master of disguise, he makes
his living stalking harbors, coffeehouses and print shops for
the latest manuscript to steal.
Why? For one hundred
years, loose British copyright
laws and a hungry reading public created a unique
opportunity: Books could be
easily published without an
author’s permission.
Charles Dickens, Mark
Twain and others suffered
financially but publishers
reaped enormous profits
while readers bought books
inexpensively.
However, on the eve of
the twentieth century, a
new international treaty is
signed to grind this literary
underground to a halt -- and
to force bookaneers like Pen
Davenport into financial ruin.
In this amazing new historical
novel, author Matthew Pearl
takes us inside the world of
these doomed outlaws and
the incredible, final heist that
brought their era to a close.
On the island of Samoa, a
dying Robert Louis Stevenson labors over a new novel. Fired by the thought of
one last book from the great
author, Davenport sets out
for the South Pacific island,
thrilled by the challenge of
stealing Stevenson’s manuscript and making a fortune
before the new treaty ends his
bookaneer’s trade forever.
Yet Samoa holds many
secrets of its own, among them
the fact that a colonial war is
afoot between British, American and German powers.
Soon Davenport finds himself
embroiled in a conflict not of
his making -- and a story based
on a piece of fascinating, but
little-known, literary history.
This electrifying, readable
tale is a testament to author
Pearl’s research and imagination -- and is a love letter
to books, to the people who
write and sell them and to all
who treasure them.

By Renee Knight,
Harper, 336 Pages, $25.99
Writer Renee Knight told
an interviewer, “The idea for
Disclaimer came when I was
writing my first book. It was
an idea that chilled me. What
if I wrote about an incident
involving a friend and how
awful it would be if it was
published and my friend read
it without my having first sent
it to her for approval? What
would it be like if you came
across yourself in a novel?”
That idea is the basis for
this new novel -- soon to be
a film by Twentieth Century
Fox -- lauded by critics as “A
brilliantly conceived, addictive psychological thriller
about a woman haunted by
secrets and the price she will
pay for concealing the truth.”
British author Knight
tells the story of Catherine,
a successful documentary
film-maker, who is intrigued
when she receives a manuscript entitled The Perfect
Stranger. But as she turns
the pages, she is horrified to
read of a day in her own life
20 years ago, a day that she’s
tried hard to forget.
Desperate to know who the
author is and what the author
wants, she plows through
the novel until she reaches its
shocking end: the author’s portrayal of Catherine’s own death.
Intertwined with Catherine’s narrative is that of Stephen Brigstocke’s, a grieving
widower who discovered
among his late wife’s possessions a manuscript that horrifies him. Catherine has never
met Stephen but Stephen
knows all about Catherine, including the details of her most
closely guarded secret, one
that she’s hidden from even
her husband and son.
Life changes on one fateful
day when her past finally
catches up with her, the seemingly ideal wife and mother
who is not all that she appears
to be. A hint: The only other
person who knows her secret
is dead, but Catherine’s secret
was not buried with that
person. One thing that can
be said for this new mystery
is that it is a compelling, and
wholly-original domestic noir.

Tips for
Traveling
Research and
Plan Ahead
Planning, reserving and
confirming must be
accomplished sooner
rather than later. When
the destination is resolved
with target dates, research
airlines, Amtrak, buses,
cruise lines. For air and
land transportation, seek
the most direct and
shortest travel times.
If there is a choice of three
airlines, for example, enroll in the no-cost frequent
flier program for each.
This should give you
access to the lowest fares
and possible benefits at
the airport and aboard
the flight, as well as for
requesting special services.
Know that once very
common, most senior
discount fares are
history except for
Southwest Airlines and
Amtrak. To find other
senior-special offers,
go online to
SmarterTravel.com.
Request and
Reserve Special
Services
Request seat assignment
in the rows designated for
disabled travelers. And,
importantly, request
cost-free wheelchair
service at every airport
origination, connection
and arrival location. If
there is meal service
aboard, advise the
reservation system of any
dietary needs.
If traveling alone, ensure
you will have human
assistance from the
counter, through
security, to the gate and
then to board the aircraft.
If staffed by an airline
employee, there is no cost
for wheelchair or assistance. If staffed by Red
Cap-type personnel, you
will be expected to tip
for that assist. If you are
traveling with family, they
can offer to handle the
wheelchair.
If you don’t make and
confirm all of these
requests at the time of
reservation, the airline,
train or bus line has no
obligation to make them
available on check-in or
while en route.
Better Care is Here and Now.
