Century of Boca Raton Umbrella Association
M&O Committee

Al DiPretoro - Bo Dobrev - Mike Limongelli
Lynn Roberts - Harvey Rubin - George Webman
On August 17th, the Committee met with Anita Pearce, Administrator, Dan Cruz, Regional Facilities Manager and Monica
Wells, CAO Cenvill Recreation.
Alejandro Montesdeoca, Glow Cleaning met with us. We
wanted to make sure that bathroom maintenance did not take
place during shows. Glow agreed to adjust their schedule.
With construction going on in renovating the bathrooms near
the card rooms, it was important that the other remaining
bathrooms be kept clean at that time.
We requested having the renewal of the Glow contract deferred until the beginning of 2017. With the budget preparation being a priority and the renewal of our security contract,
we felt more time was needed for the above Agreement.
Century Village Blvd. paving will be completed during the
budget period. A traffic control median (calming median to
slow down traffic) will be constructed on this intersection.
We agreed to defer paving New England because of additional
costs involved in the paving of Century Village Blvd. The
calming medians have added a safety factor which we have
been striving to have in the village. New England paving will
be in next year’s budget.
The tennis court near Cornwall will be resurfaced bringing
it into a top-notch playing facility. This should be completed
before the season is in full swing.
Budget preparation for the new year November 1, 2016
through October 31, 2017 will be completed during September.
As is our procedure, at the October Delegate meeting we will
present the highlights. As always, our goal is to come up with
a budget that is productive, financially sound and, above all
else, reasonable for our owners and residents.
Monica reported that collections for June and July amounted
to $106,582. Sales for the coming show season is doing quite
well. There are a few sellouts and good sales for the balance
of the shows being offered.
We are waiting for the Palm Tram (91 bus service) contract
to be finalized. There will be no increase for the two-year
period and hopefully will add a few additional benefits for our
residents.
We will be finalizing a security contract after reviewing
proposals from four companies.
CORRECTION
The September M & O Committee report contained a typo which
said Service dog owners can purchase an ID FOR $25. The
CORRECT dollar amount is $5.00.

Community Affairs
By Stanley Siegel, Chairman; Mike Limongelli
With the Primary Elections behind us, we can now focus towards
the General Election November 8th. Announcements will be made
and posted for any candidate(s) that are coming to Century Village.
For those residents who have not registered to vote, want to vote
by mail or those who want to take advantage of early voting, the
phone number for Supervisor of Elections is 561-656-6200.
Announcements will be published in the newspapers.
During the Primary period, twelve Meet & Greets for candidates
were held at Temple Beth Shalom. Attendance varied from a low
of 30 to a high of 300. These meetings gave our residents an opportunity to meet the individuals running for various positions.
On the whole, things ran smoothly.
Some of the proposed additions in the area will be:
• Benihana is planning on taking over the section where the
Denny’s building is currently located in the Home Depot shopping
strip.
• Thomas Farms will be closing its facility at the Clint Moore
& 441 intersection. The plan is for restaurants and commercial
businesses to take that area. This is still in the planning stages.
• The area of Glades Rd and 95th Ave. South next to the Home
Depot shopping center has a group interested in establishing
restaurants, houses and possibly a movie theatre. This is all in a
proposal being submitted to the county for review and approval.
You will be kept up to date as we receive more information regarding these proposed
projects.
Best wishes for a Happy & Healthy New Year.

Delegates Meeting
September 12, 2016
The Delegates were called to order by President Mike Limongelli at 10:02
A.M. A quorum was established. The minutes of the May 2016 and the July
2016 meetings were accepted as published in The COBRUA Reporter.
President’s Report: Mike Limongelli deferred his report until Good &
Welfare.
Treasurer’s Report: Lynn Roberts reported. The cash and CD balances
as of August 31, 2016 were: CD - $55,963.45 and Checking - $20,781.02 for
a total of $76,744.47.
Security Report: Jason Henderson reported. 1. In August, there were
192 Commercial vehicles making deliveries, 87 I.D. Card violations, 3,065
miles driven, over 2,177 telephone calls answered, 692 food deliveries, and
234 contractors admitted. 2. Jason answered questions about authorizing
guests, the #91 bus, and stickers on cars of former residents, and received
compliments on how helpful the officers have been assisting with drop offs
in front of the clubhouse.
Blood Bank: No Report
COPS Program: Jules Golombik reported. 1. In July and August, the
volunteers drove a total of 2,967 miles and served a combined 309 hours.
2. He complimented them on how much they got done with only a skeleton
summer crew, and answered questions about coverage of all associations.
Community Affairs Committee: Stanley Siegel reported. 1. Now that the
Primary Elections were over, the focus pivoted to the General Election on
November 8, 2016. Information about voter registration can be obtained
by telephoning the Supervisor of Elections Office at (561) 656-6200. Early
voting will be available for those who know they will be away from the village
on Election Day, and applications for Absentee Mail-In Ballots are available
at the Information Desk, at the COBRUA office, and at Temple Beth Shalom. 2. During the Primary season, a number of candidates held rallies at
Temple Beth Shalom attended by anywhere from 30 to 300 people. If any
candidates schedule rallies in September and October, announcements will
be made. 3. The process has begun for a Benihana to occupy the space of
the former Denny’s at Glades Road and 441. 4. There are plans to replace
Thomas Produce that is closing on Clint Moore and 441 with restaurants,
some commercial businesses, and possibly a facility for seniors. 5. A group
is proposing to develop the area on Glades Road at 95th Avenue South adding
upscale restaurants, homes, and possibly a movie theater, but the ensuing
traffic problem would have to be resolved. 6. The monthly public meeting of
the West Boca Community Council was scheduled to include a presentation
about the proposed additional one cent sales tax. 7. It was announced that
there would be no representative’s meeting in October because the second
Monday would be Columbus Day. 8. Stanley Siegel wished everyone a Happy
and Healthy New Year.
M&O Committee: Stanley Siegel reported. 1. The committee met with
Anita Pearce, Dan Cruz, and Monica Wells on August 17. 2. Alejandro from
Glow Cleaners was asked that bathrooms not be cleaned when shows and
movies are presented, and to monitor the condition of the other bathrooms
when some are being renovated. There was a request that the Glow contract
be extended until January 31, 2017 to allow more time to deal with the budget
and the other expiring contracts. 3. Paving of Century Village Boulevard
was to be completed during the 2016 Budget year, but construction of new
traffic control medians required that the paving of the New England side
be deferred until the next budget year. 4. The tennis courts near Cornwall
had begun to be resurfaced. 5. Budget meetings were scheduled to prepare
the next budget during the month of September. 6. Monica Wells brought
the committee up to date on collections. 7. Sales of show tickets were doing
well. 8. The Palm Tran contract for the #91 bus was being formalized with
no increase in the rate for the next two years. 9. The Security contract was
renewed for three years with no increase. 10. Stanley answered questions
about lighting, bathroom renovations, and the #91 bus.
Old Business: A delegate asked to have the same music at his satellite
pool as there is in the clubhouse, and was advised to bring it up to his association Board of Directors.
New Business: 1. A delegate proposed keeping an up-to-date list of residents who have moved out to help prevent them from returning and using the
recreational facilities. 2. A delegate warned that fallen palm fronds present
a zika hazard and was advised to contact Todd of Maximum Landscaping
who already picks them up once a week. 3. A delegate pointed out grass
growing out of the lake presenting standing water problems.
Good & Welfare from the Delegates: 1. There was an in-depth discussion
of the problem presented by Service Dogs and Emotional Support Animals.
2. President Mike Limongelli announced that he had resigned from the M&O
Committee because they voted by closed ballot on a public issue. Although
the vast majority of the committee members, delegates, and residents expressed their desires for him to remain in service, he cited as his primary
reason that people have a right to know how their elected officials vote in
order to know whether they are being properly represented. Another reason
was that he was ashamed to remain on a committee whose members lack
the courage to vote publicly. In the discussion that followed, it was revealed
that some of the M&O Committee members feared personal attacks if their
votes were public. 3. Mike also resigned as liaison to the Democratic Club.
Good & Welfare from the Residents: 1. A resident declared how proud
he was of President Mike Limongelli for his courageous stand on the M&O
Committee vote. He disclosed the votes that had been cast on the secret
ballot which the committee members themselves freely revealed to him and
suggested that the delegates vote wisely in the March M&O Committee elections. He cited Florida Condominium Statute 718 which entitles residents
to observe committee meetings and reminded everyone that the Century
Village in West Palm Beach records their “M&O Committee” meetings and
broadcasts them on their “channel 63” and on their website. 2. A resident
protested having to listen to music at her pool because she and others like
her prefer the sounds of nature. 3. A resident displayed an Aquatic Access
brochure from a company that manufactures a variety of water-powered
lifts to provide access to pools for individuals who have difficulty with stairs
and ladders. 4. A resident complimented Security for their hard work and
M&O for how quickly the walkway and fence were installed in front of the
clubhouse, but he also suggested that our I.D. cards that are read by human eyes be replaced with cards that could be scanned by card readers that
would not fail to detect expired or invalid cards. 5. A resident wondered why
almost everyone objects to music at the satellite pools and was reminded
that residences are so close to the pools that it would be an unwarranted
disturbance.
There being no further business, on motion duly made and seconded, the
meeting was adjourned at 11:30 A.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Alan Pearlman

September 6, 2016
Executive Board Minutes September 6, 2016
Second Vice President Meland Weinberg called the meeting to order at
9:32 A.M. in First Vice President Al Weinstein’s absence. A quorum was
established. The minutes of the May 2016 and the July 2016 meetings
were accepted as published in the Cobrua Reporter.
President’s Report: Mike Limongelli reminded everyone about the “Opt
Out” meetings and reported that many associations were making good
progress.
Treasurer’s Report: Lynn Roberts reported. The cash and CD balances
as of August 31, 2016 were: CD - $55,963.45 and Checking - $20,781.02
for a total of $76,744.47.
Committee Reports: The Elevator Committee reported that having working motors stored in the village would eliminate the extraordinary delay
in replacing broken ones and that the cost could be borne proportionally
by the associations. After discussing the method of dividing up the cost,
where the motors would be stored, whether major repairs would be made
on weekends, the quarterly supervisory reports, the information on repair
tickets, and the difference between routine and emergency service, a motion was made to purchase one of each of the three types of motors and
share the cost proportionally according to a schedule prepared by Elevator
Committee Chair Greg Fusillo already emailed to each association president. The motion was carried by voice vote. One association objected to
the proportional payment method. The treasurer was to write one check
for the three motors, and each association would send a check for its share
of the cost to COBRUA.
Community Affairs Committee: Stanley Siegel reported. Now that the
Primary Elections were over, the focus pivoted to the General Election on
November 8, 2016. Information about voter registration can be obtained
by telephoning the Supervisor of Elections Office at (561) 656-6200. Early
voting will be available for those who know they will be away from the
village on Election Day, and applications for Absentee Mail-In Ballots are
available at the Information Desk, at the COBRUA office, and at Temple
Beth Shalom.
M&O Committee: Stanley Siegel reported. 1. The committee met with
Anita Pearce, Dan Cruz, and Monica Wells on August 17. 2. Alejandro from
Glow Cleaners was asked that bathrooms not be cleaned when shows and
movies end, and to monitor the condition of the other bathrooms when
some are being renovated. There was a request that the renewal of the
Glow contract be deferred until January 31, 2017 to allow more time to deal
with the budget. 3. Paving of Century Village Boulevard was to be completed during the 2016 Budget year, but construction of new traffic control
medians required the paving of the New England side to be deferred until
the next budget year. 4. The tennis courts near Cornwall were scheduled
to be resurfaced. 5. Budget meetings were scheduled to prepare the next
budget during the month of September. 6. Monica Wells brought the committee up to date on collections. 7. Sales of show tickets were doing well.
8. The Palm Tran contract for the #91 bus was being formalized with no
increase in the rate for the next two years. 9. The new Security contract
was being worked on, and meetings were scheduled with four security
companies that offered proposals.
Advisory Committee: Stanley Siegel reported for Al Weinstein. 1. There
was a verbal request for minor changes to the First Service contract, but
the committee informed Ron Capitena of First Service that any changes
would have to made legally using blue lines and red lines. A change in the
charge for new items from $50 to $25 would be included in the amendments.
2. Lunch hour for the staff at the First Service office at Fontana Plaza
will be from 12 to 1 PM during which time a receptionist would answer
the phone and make appointments to see Kathy, Angie, Paul, or Bonnie..
3. Copies of Violation Letters will now be sent to Association Presidents,
Building Directors, Unit Owners, and Renters. 4. Most associations have
submitted their “Opt Out” paperwork. Even if it turns out not to be legally
required, it does no harm to opt out and end concern about it. 5. Although
their attorneys and insurance advisors told First Service to remove the
Coupon Boxes, the committee vehemently objected, so Ron Capitena was
attempting to find a way for us to keep them. 6. The pickup and delivery
procedure was improved by providing specific bags for each association. 7.
Paul Waverla, CAM, was asked for a progress report on the repair of the
loose Comcast wires in the high rise buildings.
Good & Welfare: President Mike Limongelli thanked Second Vice President Miland Weinberg for the fine job she did running the meeting, and the
people who volunteered to take the minutes in the Recording Secretary’s
absence.
There being no further business, on motion duly made and seconded,
the meeting was adjourned at 10:27 A.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Alan Pearlman

Dear friend,
This summer, Florida’s Environmental Regulatory Commission voted
to lower human health-based standards and permit higher levels of certain toxic, carcinogenic elements in Florida’s surface waters. Polluting
Florida’s water systems could have severe consequences, including posing serious health risks by contaminating drinking water, harming the
state’s renowned seafood industry, and impairing the tourism sector.
That’s why Senator Bill Nelson and I recently held a roundtable meeting
to discuss the rulemaking with representatives from the fishing industry,
wildlife conservation programs, and county governments - stakeholders
whose input should have been heard before the rules were approved. We’ve
also urged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reject the proposal. The governor has orchestrated a flawed process that produced a flawed
product. It is certainly time to update the standards used to control the levels
of harmful toxins in Florida’s waters. But I refuse to take the governor’s
bait-and-switch on something so fundamental to Floridians’ health, to our
economy, and to our amazing natural resources. Rather than bending to
the will of polluters and rolling out the welcome mat to potential future
fracking, it’s time to engage in an honest process that puts science, public
health, and our state’s environment first.
Kind regards,
Ted Deutch
Dear Friend,
August marked the 51st anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights
Act (VRA) and 96th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Since the Supreme Court removed a key component of the VRA
three years ago in Shelby County v. Holder, the right to vote has been
under attack nationwide. New restrictions have been put in place in 22
states making it harder for millions of Americans to exercise their right to
vote, especially voters who are minorities, first-time voters, and seniors. Florida has already been the target of attempts to restrict voting rights
with Governor Scott’s 2012 politically-motivated purge of state voter
registration records. Lacking legal authority or transparency, many of
the 182,000 names removed from the voter rolls were wrongfully targeted, including a decorated World War II veteran in South Florida.
With nationwide elections approaching this fall, I’m calling on Republicans
in Congress to allow a vote on the Voting Rights Advancement Act, a bill
I’m proud to cosponsor. Throughout our nation’s history, Americans have
fought to expand and protect voting rights for all. Congress has an obligation to strengthen our democracy and block attempts to undermine these
vital rights.
Kind regards,
Ted Deutch
IMPORTANT NEWS FOR
FLORIDA DRIVERS!
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a new
deadline for REAL ID compliance. That new deadline is October
1, 2020. This new deadline eliminates all previous DHS compliance deadlines. A REAL ID includes state-issued driver licenses
and ID cards or a current passport.
Enforcement dates of REAL ID are separate from the new
compliance deadline. Enforcement is being handled in phases and
has already begun. DHS expects to announce dates to require a
REAL ID to board commercial flights or enter federal facilities
no sooner than 2016.
Please note that this DHS announcement makes REAL ID
informational materials previously distributed to the public no
longer accurate. Our agency is making changes reflecting the
new deadline on all REAL ID educational materials and website
information.

Sunshine Daily Telephone Calls really do brighten the lives of seniors.
This is a free program that runs from 7:30am to 5:00pm every day. People over sixty, the
housebound or disabled can sign up to get a quick “hello” and check on their well-being.
Participating seniors are constantly praising the program and commenting on the warmth
and friendliness of the volunteers calling them. Many senior participants are very active
and just want someone to check that they are up and about in the morning. Some are more
vulnerable and isolated.
If you are a senior caregiver for a disabled spouse or other loved one, this is an important
phone call for you as well.
To start getting your Sunshine call, or for more information on other helpful programs and
services, simply call 2-1-1 or 561-383-1111. If you would like to help make phone calls,
Sunshine volunteers are also needed.

Property Matters
Anne M. Gannon
Palm Beach County Constitutional Tax Collector
Happy fall!
Property Appraiser Gary Nikolits, CFA, is pleased to announce Dorothy
Jacks, CFE, AAS, has been elected to serve a four year term as the next
Property Appraiser for Palm Beach County. Her term begins on January 3,
2017. (As many of you know, Gary Nikolits is retiring after a 24-year career
as your Palm Beach County Property Appraiser)
Jacks, Chief Deputy Property Appraiser, started her career in the Property Appraiser’s Office in 1988 as a Clerk in Human Resources. For nearly
3 decades, she worked in various departments and rose through the ranks.
She became skilled in the intricate facets of appraisal and assessment
administration and applied her knowledge as she led a design team that
developed the Property Appraiser’s award-winning PAPA website and the
PAPA Mobile browser-based tool for smart phones and tablets.
As Chief Deputy, she presently oversees the office’s public service functions, including our five Service Centers, Exemption Services, Information
Technology, Mapping and GIS sections, Public Records, PAPA and PAPA
Mobile. Jacks is a graduate of the University of Florida (1988), with a bachelor’s degree in political science.

Property Tax Bills
As we head into the middle of the fall season, October is a busy
month in the Property Appraiser’s Office and topping our priority list - the certification of values to the Palm Beach County Tax
Collector’s Office. The Tax Collector is responsible for the printing and mailing of your property tax bills, on or before November 1.
If you choose to pay your taxes in full in the month of November, there’s
a 4% discount. The discount drops to 3% in December, 2% in January, and
1% in February. There is no discount for property tax bills paid in March.
(2016 Property Taxes become delinquent April 1, 2017.)
Upcoming General Election - Tuesday, November 8, 2016.
There are four proposed Constitutional Amendments on the ballot. Two of
the proposed Constitutional Amendments will specifically impact property
taxes.
Below is a summary of Amendments 3 and 5, which will be on
the ballot for the General Election, held on Tuesday, November 8th.
Amendment 3 : Tax Exemption for Totally and Permanently Disabled First Responders
This amendment provides ad valorem tax relief equal to the total amount or a portion of ad valorem taxes owed on homestead
property of a first responder who is totally and permanently disabled as a result of an injury or injuries sustained in the line of duty.
If approved by voters, the Legislature will need to pass legislation to implement this amendment. First responder, means a law enforcement officer,
a correctional officer, a firefighter, an emergency medical technician, or a
paramedic. This amendment takes effect January 1, 2017.
Amendment 5 : Homestead Tax Exemption for Certain Senior,
Low-Income, Long-Term Residents
This amendment revises the qualifying date for low-income, long-term
senior residents who own a homestead property with a just value of less
than $250,000 and who have resided on the property over the past 25 years.
In Palm Beach County, the option for a senior citizen to receive an exemption equal to the assessed value of their property if their just, (market),
value is less than $250,000 and they have resided on the property for the
past 25 years has not been adopted by either the Board of County Commissioners or the governing board of any municipality. Should either the
Board of County Commissioners or a governing board of a municipality
adopt the option of exempting the assessed value of the property, the date
of qualification for those persons who currently have a senior exemption
will change from January 1 of the year of the initial qualification for the
existing senior exemption to January 1 of the year of qualifying for new the
assessment exemption option; meaning the current assessed value will be
the amount of the exemption rather than the assessed value at the time of
the initial qualification for the original senior exemption of up to $50,000.
This amendment takes effect January 1, 2017.
Currently, Palm Beach County seniors, age 65 and over, whose household
incomes fall below a specified amount, (currently $28,448 adjusted annually), may qualify for the additional homestead exemption of up to $50,000.
Community Outreach
As part of our Community Outreach program in the Palm Beach County
Property Appraiser’s Office, we regularly accept Homestead Exemption
applications for new residents at various locations throughout the county.
The program allows our office to be onsite once a month, in numerous communities. Homestead Exemption applications may be pre-filed at any time
throughout the year, however the deadline is March 1 of the qualifying year.
The following dates below have been scheduled for the month of October and continue through the fall. Be sure to check the Events Calendar on the Property Appraiser’s website, www.pbcgov.org/PAPA,
for more upcoming dates and locations, as they become available.

Dear Friend,
I want to thank you for entrusting me to serve Palm Beach County as your constitutionally elected Tax Collector. Despite our name, the Tax Collector’s Office is not
funded by tax dollars. We collect fees on services provided. The Florida Department
of Revenue approves our operating budget, and every excess dollar is passed along to
your local taxing authorities such as the School District, County, and municipalities.
Cyber Safety
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Practicing safe judgment
is critical whether you’re online banking, shopping, or downloading the latest app.
Here are a few simple cyber safety tips:
Avoid imitation sites. Visit www.pbctax.com for all your driver license and motor
vehicle needs.
Do not enter credit car information on unsecure websites. Secure websites begin
with “https” so check your browser. Our online payment page (https://www.pbctax.
com/pay-online) is an example of a secure website.
Pay attention to your home Wi-Fi. Use a strong password to protect your router.
Identity Safety
The Tax Collector’s Office is committed to protecting the public from identity theft.
This is especially important as the sole driver license and ID card issuing agency in
Palm Beach County.
The Florida driver licenses and ID cards issued in our offices are compliant with
the Federal REAL ID Act of 2005. This law set new standards to improve the integrity
of ID cards. REAL ID standards reduce the risk of fraud.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires everyone to have a REAL
ID by October 1, 2020. Not sure if your ID is REAL ID compliant? Check for a star
in the upper right corner. If you do not have a REAL ID, visit our office before the
REAL ID deadline. You cannot upgrade to a REAL ID online.
Financial Safety
The 2016 Property Tax season is right around the corner. Our agency mails property tax bills by November 1. Paying property taxes early has its benefits, especially
for your bottom line. There’s a 4% discount for Property Tax bills paid in November.
The discount drops to 3% in December, 2% in January, and 1% in February. There
is no discount for property tax bills paid in March. 2016 Property Taxes become
delinquent April 1, 2017.
Driver Safety
October 16th through 22nd is National Teen Driver Safety Week, but we all know
driver safety is a priority year-round. According to the National Safety Council, 95%
of parents who drive distracted admit they continue these unsafe habits in front of
their teens.
Did you know we have a free driver license mobile app? “In the Driver’s Seat” is
loaded with helpful features, including:
Quick access to Florida’s driving laws
Easy online driver license appointments
Tools for first time drivers, including updated study materials, the official practice
test, and driving logs
Calendar of important dates and deadlines
“In the Driver’s Seat” is a helpful tool whether you’re preparing for your first
license or you’ve been driving for decades. It’s available for Apple and Android devices
in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Storm Safety
October is historically one of the most active months in the Atlantic Hurricane
Season. Is your family ready to weather the storm? A few simple steps ahead of time
can make all the difference.
There’s still time to access our free 2016 Hurricane Preparedness Guide. It’s loaded
with local insight, key phone numbers and tips to prepare your family and property.

Fire Rescue FAST Facts
When The Alarm Sounds!! Smoke and fire alarms are set off by smoke, heat, or possible false alarm. If you see or smell smoke, leave your house immediately. Every home should
have a safety plan with your family, especially if you have young children,
or immobile family members. Fire can spread very quickly, it is important
to think of personal safety first, and evacuate. There are multiple reasons
for false alarms and difficult to touch on all of them. Here are a few ways
to be prepared for the fire department when they arrive if you think you
are having a false alarm. First understand how to operate your alarm panel, and know your security passcode. Second, if your home has “zones” preset in the system,
know where these zones are. Also, know where your electrical breaker box
is located and assure it is accessible for firefighters. Have attic access available as many times firefighters need to check the attic for possible hidden
hazards. Lastly, be prepared to speak to a 911 dispatcher, as they can be
very helpful with troubleshooting while you wait for Fire Rescue to arrive.
Carbon Monoxide poses a much different threat to residents. Unlike
smoke and fire, Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, poisonous
gas that is the byproduct of incomplete combustion of carbon, or the burning of fuel sources. Because CO is impossible to see, taste, or smell it can
begin to kill you before you’re even aware it’s in your home. CO binds to
red blood cells blocking oxygen from the bloodstream. CO is known as the
“silent killer.” Common causes of CO in the home are faulty gas appliances,
vehicle exhaust, outdoor grills, generators, and lead acid battery charging
(faulty charging of golf cart batteries).
If your Carbon Monoxide alarm is sounding, and you do not recognize
an immediate hazard, DO NOT ASSUME IT IS A FALSE ALARM. Be
prepared to treat this as an emergency and calmly exit your home. Fire
Rescue will respond with proper detection devices to determine where the
problem is coming from or determine
of this is a false alarm. For Carbon
Monoxide, it is important to know
which home appliances are supplied
with natural gas or propane. Please
- never “warm-up” your vehicle in
the garage and never grill or use
a generator in an enclosed area or
near open doors or windows. Lastly,
if you have a Natural Gas tank or
supply line, if available, know where
the shut-off valves are located.

SACHS SAX CAPLAN
COURT CHANGES COURSE ON
SEPARATE LIEN FORECLOSURES
In March’s column we advised of Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeals decision in Jallali v. Knightsbridge Village Homeowners Association,
Inc., 2016 WL 320601 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016) which found that only the court
presiding over the mortgage foreclosure case is authorized to address the
foreclosure of assessment liens that are recorded after the mortgage is
already in foreclosure. However, upon rehearing, the court withdrew this
decision and replaced it with Jallali v. Knightsbridge Village Homeowners
Association, Inc., 2016 WL 3548843 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016).
The court’s replacement decision reaches a different result and holds that
a delinquent homeowner cannot successfully challenge the filing of a separate
lien foreclosure action if the association’s declaration was recorded before
the mortgage foreclosure case was filed. Because a community’s declaration
is typically recorded before any mortgages on individual lots or units are
even given, the replacement decision’s result has the effect of permitting
separate foreclosure cases to be used in most instances. In its replacement
decision the court reasons that an association’s declaration serves as a lien
to secure future assessments which is an interest in property that arises
before any later mortgage foreclosure case.
However, notwithstanding the court’s change of course in this case, for
many associations, participating actively in mortgage foreclosure cases
as necessary to ensure that such cases are promptly completed remains
a worthwhile strategy. As many associations realize, initiating new lien
foreclosure proceedings on property that is already subject to mortgage
foreclosure proceedings may not be prudent or cost-effective if the goal is
mainly to oust the delinquent owner and to replace him or her with a new
owner who will be responsible about paying assessments.
In addition, the court’s replacement decision relies in part upon the HOA
statutes provision indicating that an assessment lien relates back to the
recording of the community’s declaration (except against first mortgage
holders). However, later case decisions may revisit this broad interpretation
as many associations governing documents contain language which states
that the association’s lien for assessments is only effective from and after
the recording of a claim of lien in the public records. Despite the court’s
replacement decision, such effective date language could be used by a delinquent owner as a means of arguing against an association’s separate lien
foreclosure case. Homeowners’ associations are particularly encouraged to
consult with legal counsel about amending their governing documents where
necessary to make it clear that the declaration, rather than some other
later-filed instrument, creates a lien against each parcel for assessments.
In the case of condominium associations however, such an amendment may
not be as necessary because the Condominium Act, without reference to the
condominium declaration, provides associations with an assessment lien
against each unit.
Surely the court’s replacement decision in Jallali will be of some relief to
those associations that had routinely filed separate foreclosure cases against
owners who were in mortgage foreclosure and who were also behind in the
payment of their assessments. However, as the law on this issue appears to
be still developing, associations are encouraged to speak with their attorneys
on a case by case basis concerning the best assessment collection strategies
before determining any course of action.

NOTICE TO ALL RESIDENTS
When having work performed in your condo, you should use only
licensed & insured contractors. You should ask for a certificate of insurance to include general liability and workers compensation insurance
and ask to see their license and check to see if both are current.
In the event of a claim, if your insurance company determines that
the contractor or individual installed the equipment incorrectly, the
carrier may subrogate against the contractor for payment of the claim.
Only the insurance company can determine if you will be covered or not
for your damage.

Fishing Lines
Gregory Fusillo
Bridge In Our Century
By Stan Slater
All of you who spent the summer here in Florida know the call
of the day; HOT, HOT, HOT! As if
this wasn’t reason enough for not
going out, I was convalescing from
joining the “zipper” club.
I did not do any of the things that
I said I would try to achieve in my
last issue; however, I did manage
to get out on a drift boat with my
granddaughter, Debbi and grandson, Anthony B.
Debbi and her two friends from
Pennsylvania managed to bring
home a bag of fillets comprised of
porgies and yellowtails.
I managed to go out on the dock
once this summer with my grandson, Anthony B. and again I did
not catch a fish, however he caught
three fish with very little effort.
Guess I am out of practice and need
to sharpen my skills a bit more.
As always, I am a big fan of the
Florida Keys and have fished out
of Key Largo, Islamorada and Key
West. My most memorable trips
have been to the Dry Tortugas in
the Gulf of Mexico for nonstop fishing for three days.
A three-day trip is not for everyone nor is fishing for that matter,
however if you have never been to
the Keys it is well worth the trip to
see where the aqua green waters
of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
come together.
The Century Boca Fishing Club
will have had their next meeting
on Tuesday, October 4 th and we
will be serving breakfast to all paid
up members. The event schedule
for the 2016-17 season has been
emailed and a copy is available at
the monthly meeting.
The event schedule has unfolded
and there are several interesting
items being investigated; a bus
trip to the Seaquarium in Miami,
giveback breakfast at the Golden
Corral, freshwater fishing trip,
drift boat fishing trips, a surf and
turf BBQ and a freshwater fishing
outing for underprivileged children.
These are some of the events the
Board has come up with and before
they are finalized we will ask for
your input at our monthly meeting.
If you want to attend and want to
join in on the fun the dues are only
$15.00. This includes membership
through 2017 and entitles you to a
free breakfast at all the meetings.
If interested in joining you can
contact me by calling 561-400-2573

Opening Lead:H6
Too many bridge players take a
finesse whenever available. However, looking at the hand in its
entirety will often provide logic for
spurning a finesse.
South might have opened 2NT,
but chose 1H instead. After West’s
weak jump overcall to 2S, North
aggressively bid 3H on the basis of
a combined holding of at least nine
hearts. East reasoned similarly on
the basis of a combined nine card
spade holding, and South’s 4H bid
closed the auction.
Fortunately for the defenders,
West did not lead a spade, choosing a trump instead. East won and
returned the spade two. It might
seem that declarer had nothing to
lose by finessing the jack, but this
would have endangered a nearly
cold contract. If West had the spade
king as expected from the bidding,
he could then find the winning shift
to a diamond.
Seeing the danger of an unsuccessful spade finesse, South rose
with the spade ace and drew the
remaining trumps. He then cashed
the club ace, followed by the club
queen losing to the king. Next
came a diamond play but it was too
late. Declarer took it with the ace
and proceeded to discard his two
remaining diamonds on dummy’s
long clubs, thereby making his
contract.
on a regular basis, and be faithful to
your commitment.
• Always start with warm-up
exercises and end with cool down
exercises. Do what is comfortable and
stop if you feel pain.
• Comfort range can change daily,
so don’t get discouraged if you can’t
do the amount of exercise you did the
day before.
• Don’t overwork muscles. The old
adage No Pain No Gain is just that,
an old adage.
• Concentrate on exercises that
improve and maintain your range of
motion. Everyday activities will be
easier to carry out.
• Positive thoughts produce positive results. Don’t Give Up!
I look forward to seeing you in the
classes, or in the fitness center. I am
there Monday through Friday 12:15
-1:00, to answer your questions or

The Savvy Senior
By Robert Goodman, MSW Geriatric Social Worker
Locating & Accessing Community
Resources & Services
«I need help and I don›t know
where to turn!» Where would you
begin to look if you needed help for
a loved one? There are many government and community-based services available to assist older adults;
people with mental, developmental,
or physical disabilities; and caregivers. Finding them and accessing their
services is often where the difficulty
begins. How do I begin the search?
The first step in looking for services is to organize your or your loved
one’s records. These
include:
1. Personal Records
2. Legal Documents
3. Medical Records
4. Health Insurance information
5. Financial records
Step two is to add all your sources
of income to determine your monthly
income.
Next add the total value of all your
assets.
Step three: Determine what kind
of help the person needs: EDS
Make a list of the things the
person can or cannot do and who
is available to help, with what, and
how often.
Can the person:
__ Take medication on time and in
the correct dosage
__ Go shopping for food and clothing
__ Visit friends or drive a car
__ Travel by bus or taxi
__ Do light housekeeping
__ Do heavy housekeeping
__ Do the laundry
__ Afford to pay the bills
__ Write checks and pay bill efficiently
__ Take care of legal matters
__ Maintain personal cleanliness
__ Get dressed
__ Use the toilet
__ Sleep through the night
__ Safely use the stairs & outdoor
steps
__ Look up telephone numbers
and make calls without help
__Be safely left alone
WHERE DO I FIND THE SERVICES I NEED?
1. Internet (do a “Google” or other
search engine search)
2. Library
3. White/Yellow Pages
4. Information & Referral/Crisis
Helplines (i.e., 2-1-1)
5. City/county/state/federal government
6. Area Agencies on Aging
7. Hospital social work/case management departments
8. Community health fairs/expos
9. Religious institutions
10. Referrals from friends, relatives, and colleagues.
WHAT DO I DO AFTER I
HAVE LOCATED A PARTICULAR SERVICE?
Once services are located, it’s im-
portant to learn about the services
and how they can address the needs
of the person who needs help.
A valuable place to learn about
services prior to making phone calls
is to visit the agency/organization’s
website. Read through the services
and information described and take
notes. The information you glean
may be enough for you to know this
agency or program isn’t what you’re
looking for or, on the other hand, it
may sound like a perfect match. Narrowing down your choices this way
without having to make numerous
phone calls saves a lot of time and
energy. Doing an internet search also
provides prior knowledge about the
agency, which is very convenient to
have in advance of placing a call to
them.
Although some services and programs can be applied for online,
others should be contacted by phone.
PRIO R T O CA L L I N G A N
AGENCY FOR SERVICE
1. Determine your goals: What
services does the person need?
Be clear about the services you’re
looking for by putting your goals
and questions in writing.
2. Make a list of agencies you
want to call.
3. Have your previously organized records near the phone for
reference. Having quick access to
answers will save you frustration,
time, and money.
4. Have a notebook and pen
ready for taking notes—don’t use
small scraps of paper that could
easily be lost. Do role playing to
calm nerves.
CALLING THE AGENCY
A
Sample
Script
“My name is ________. I am caring
for ________ who is my ________.
I need ________. The hours I need
this help are ________. Can you
help me?”
If the answer is no, ask “Can you
give me another name or agency
to call?” If the answer is yes, ask
“What services do you provide?
What are the costs and how are
they paid? Eligibility requirements? How long must we wait
to get services? Can you send a
brochure and application? What is
your website address? Can you do
an intake over the phone? To whom
am I speaking? Do I need to speak
to anyone else?”
TIPS WHEN SPEAKING TO
THE AGENCY
1. Try to call in the morning.
2. Describe exactly what you
need, when you need it, and any
limitations you may have in paying
for the service. Ask about services,
fees, eligibility requirements, waiting lists, their website address, and
ask them to send you a brochure.
3. Interview the agency; ask lots
October 2016
of questions. Determine
by their
demeanor and response if this
would be the appropriate agency
to fill the need.
4. Call several agencies to compare.
5. Keep good notes, including the name and number of the
agency, the person you spoke to,
additional phone numbers and/or
email address, website, questions
and responses, and names and
contact info of additional agencies
you were referred to.
6. Enlist the support of those
you are calling; don’t put them on
the defensive.
7. Be persistent and patient—it
may take many calls to get the
services you want.
8. Be assertive—call back and
ask for a supervisor if you are
not satisfied with the answers or
advice. Document date, time, and
contents of call, and file a complaint with appropriate funding
agency, better business bureau, or
chamber of commerce.
9. If denied services, ask how
to appeal. You have the right to a
written decision.
DENIALS AND APPEALS
· Make a log of all correspondence and phone calls regarding
denials. Include dates and names
of people. When did you receive
notice of the denial? How did you
receive notification of the denial?
Who notified you directly about
the denial?
· Most programs and insurance
plans have a formal grievance
procedure. Get the procedure in
writing and follow through.
ONCE SERVICES ARE APPROVED
1. Develop a detailed file: name/
contact info of agency, description
of service, referrals of other services needed.
2. Follow up to be sure the services are appropriate and are being
provided for in an efficient and
effective way.
3. Document any gaps in service
or problems and follow up with
agency to resolve problem.
4. If gaps of service are due
to budget or other cuts, advocate
before your elected officials.

“Please, Don’t FALL For It!”
Each year there are a couple of
hundred thousand 911 calls for
Fire Rescue just in Palm Beach
County. Most of those calls are for
Emergency Medical Services, or
EMS. The Number One EMS call
is for falls. Most fall calls involve
the elderly, which is the most
common cause of fatality involving
trauma-related injury for our senior
population. This places our beloved
seniors at the highest risk in the
community. Today we tackle some
of the tough questions regarding
what you need to know about falls
and how to prevent them using our
“Fire-Rescue Fast Fact” format.
Let’s begin.
One would think that climbing
more stairs for limited mobility
seniors (especially when assisted
with canes, walkers, etc), would place
them at greater risk when compared
to seniors in flat-level homes. Infact,
the most common fatal and non-fatal
falls were incidents that occurred on
same-level surfaces which include:
slips, trips, and stumbles.
The common theme regarding
US and Florida fall statistics is
that most falls occur in the home.
This leaves the residence as the
most h a z a r d o u s e n v i r o n ment
for our seniors regarding fall
r i s k s . A c c o r d i n g to the CDC
(Centerfor Disease Control) 80% of
unintentional fall-related injuries
occur within or around the patient’s

end up costing members of our
community their lives, and may
start out or are perceived as
a simple fall. N o n - f a t a l f a l l s
routinely result in compounding
medical problems and complicated
rehabilitation processes. Many
times these complications result
in fatality, which contributes to
the indirect impact that falls have

far too high since many pay with

YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
Dr. Alan Wishneff, The Experience,
Caring and Quality Behind Your Smile
“Dental procedures may not vary
much, but patients do – it’s the
personal attention that makes
all the difference . . .”
Dr. Alan Wishneff
No one likes to be treated like just
another cog in a wheel. In an age of
assembly lines, standardization of
products, and ‘high tech’ mentality,
most of us have just about had it
being treated like we’re in a factory. Particularly when it comes
to dental care.
“Everyone’s an individual, and
deserves to be treated like one,”
says longtime favorite Boca Raton
dentist, Dr. Alan Wishneff, whose
offices are on the second floor of
the Plaza at Boca Hamptons. “Although many dental procedures
appear alike, their individualized
attention can make all the difference between a satisfied patient
and an unsatisfied one.” He notes
that from the outset, a key element
in patient satisfaction is listening
carefully to the patient. “The way
a patient chooses to explain his or
her needs is as important as the
substance of their explanation.” he
notes. “We often deal with patients
who express varying degrees of
anxiety or fear, and that colors their
expectations. I instruct my staff to
be sensitive to this and try to allay
the anxiety. It may mean spending
extra time with the patient in order
to listen and educate.”
Individualized patient care
starts outside the office
Dr. Wishneff’s staff recognizes that
patient care often takes place outside the office. “When a patient calls
with a toothache or other problem,
we know they want to be treated
right away, not two weeks from
now,” observes Ilene Leventhal,
office manager. “We’re dealing
with people who need attention
and can’t afford to wait.”
Preventive or routine
care needs individualized attention as well
But the patient-centered philosophy also extends to patients who
are not in pain.
Our dental hygienist spends all
her professional time cleaning
teeth and teaching patients how
to avoid dental crises. But each
dental cleaning (called a ‘prophy’
– short for ‘prophylaxis’) is as different as the individual patient
she treats. “Some mouths are more
sensitive than others to prophies,
so we have to adapt procedures to
accommodate individual patient
needs,” she points out. Preventive
care mandates that patients be
well-informed about periodontal
(gum) disease so as to avoid costly,
time-consuming and sometimes
uncomfortable conditions from
occurring. According to Ingrid, our
hygienist, “Each person’s life-style
differs also, and that may have
different implications for their
dental hygiene.” Eating habits,
diets, brushing, flossing regimes,
whether the patient wears dentures, takes certain medications,
all affect things like mouth odor,
tooth color, puffiness or bleeding
of gums.
Accommodating
patient needs
Even the follow-up scheduling of
patients for recall appointments
should take into consideration
their individual needs. Sometimes patients need to return
every 3 months, sometimes every
6 months, sometimes only once a
year. The individualized attention
given patients at Dr. Wishneff’s
assures a dental health program
tailored just for them.
A tradition of experienced, dedicated and up-to-date care.
“I’ve always been a ‘people person,’ the kind who finds other people interesting and derives enjoyment from working with and helping others.
When I started practicing dentistry in 1980, I found that I really liked this
part of being a dentist. Today, more than 25 years later, this is still what
motivates me to come to work each day and give my best. I get a charge
out of being with people and meeting them, learning about them, interacting with them and playing a role in their oral health and ability to smile
proudly. And it’s a natural part of this process to want to provide not just
dentistry but excellent care, from offering quality clinical services to being personally dedicated. The reward for me is providing great results to
a real person. My satisfaction only comes when you’re satisfied, and for
that I strive to keep my skills sharp and my capabilities current with the
latest and most effective methods.”
DENTURE LAB ON PREMISES
Most repairs done while you wait
It is not uncommon for denture wearers to experience discomfort
from damaged or broken dentures. Dr. Wishneff’s office strives
to offer swift turnaround service for such walk-in patients,
whose repairs can usually be completed same day or while
you wait.

conveniently located on the 2nd
floor of the Plaza at the Boca
Hamptons

The Good In People
By Gregory Fusillo
When I was asked by Herman
Weissman (director, Yarmouth E)
to interview his neighbor, I was delighted. And when I was told that
the gentleman had just celebrated
his 100th birthday, I felt honored to be
able to document and absorb his past
history.
Irving Allan Kaye was born in
Brooklyn, New York on May 23,
1916. His family moved to Manhattan when he was 14 years old and left
him without friends and missing his
childhood friends in Brooklyn. You see
his parents wanted to make the move
to Manhattan so they could be close
to their daughter Henriette “Henny”
Kaye who was a Broadway star and
married to Jim Backus. He was best
known for his voice of Mr. Magoo, the
cartoon character. They performed
on Broadway and Henny and Jim
collaborated to write a book together.
Irving Kaye was all about education, the sciences and his career, he
also was a volunteer at Brooklyn
Jewish hospital as a laboratory technician for 4 years. He graduated
High School at 15 years old and his
first job was working in the Catskills.
His first hurdle in the education field
was a Bachelor of arts from CCNY in
chemistry and teaching. Irving then
obtained a Masters degree from NYU
in chemistry (1939). To round off his
educational strivings, he received a
PHD in organic chemistry from Michigan State College.
His efforts to land a job that would
hire a Jew were fulfilled when he was
hired by Endo Pharmaceuticals in
Queens, NY. Teaching at City College
of NY was a part time gig he enjoyed
immensely.
He married Leah Brown when he
was 36 years old, who he met at the
Crystal Lake Lodge in Lake George,
NY. There are no “sad notes” to this
article other than his beloved wife
Leah Brown passing four days before
his one hundred birthday. He has two
daughters, Betsy and Laura who live
in California with his two grandchildren. Irving said he prefers the climate
and surroundings in Florida as opposed to living in California.
He moved to Century Village in
1985 after testing the waters when vacationing here and renting for several
years. When asked what drew him
to Century Village, he proclaimed he
loved the “ambiance” and it seemed
like a happy place. Irving was an avid
handball player and continued to do
so until he was seventy two years old.
Irving wrote articles for the Cobrua
Reporter and we were lucky to have
him. His love for walking here in
Florida took him to many places and
he proclaims that walking as far as
Federal Highway were things he enjoyed the most.
A good man, common sense thinking, kind and well respected by his
neighbors, family and residents of
Century Village is what I take away
when leaving his home.
Good job Irving and continued good
health!!!
Safeguarding Your Wheels
• Whenever you leave your vehicles, roll up all windows, lock all
doors and take the keys with you.
• Park in a busy, well-lighted
area. Over 50 percent of vehicle
thefts happen at night.
• Never hide a second set of keys
anywhere on your car.
• Never leave your car’s engine
running, even if you’ll only be gone
for a minute. Vehicles are commonly stolen at convenience stores,
gas stations and ATMs.
• Don’t leave your registration,
title, or any personal identification
documents, keys or credit cards
anywhere in the vehicle. File the
title at home and carry your registration in your purse or wallet.
• Keep packages or valuables in
the trunk. If you leave anything in
the car, make certain it is covered
and out of sight.
• Purchase stereo components,
CBs or cellular phones that can be
removed from their brackets and
placed in a more secure location
upon parking.
• Park your vehicle with wheels
turned toward the curb, even when
parking in driveways and parking
lots. This makes your vehicle difficult to tow.
• Don’t become complacent because you drive an older model car.
Older cars are often stripped for
parts that are sold for two or three
times the value of the vehicle.
• Remember to activate any
anti-theft devices you have, such as
alarms and kill switches which shut
off the engine’s ignition system.
Other theft prevention devices include:
• Steering wheel locks such as
the CLUB.
• Collars that prevent the steering column from being stripped.
• VIN etching - having the vehicle identification number etched
into the doors, windows, windshield, etc.
• Anti-theft systems which
may include siren alarms, starter
disablers, motion sensors, remote
control activation, panic buttons,
and shock detectors on doors, windows or truck lids.

of the
Past
By Lee Chanin
While relaxing in my condo pool
on this sunny summer morning, my
mind goes back to a particular summer vacation from school when I was
about ten years old. Mama was cooking breakfast and
I see her going to the ice-box for the
milk, eggs and butter. This takes me
back to the time when the iceman
would call from the hall downstairs
to let the tenants know that he was
there to sell ice. Mama, in order to
save the five cents he would charge to
deliver it up the two flights of stairs,
would go down and carry the ice up
herself.
It was several years later that
we moved from the tenement to a
private, two-family house where we
had more modern conveniences. We
not only had a beautiful refrigerator,
but we also had a gas stove. This
was fantastic! In earlier days, Mama
would have to go down to the basement with her coal bucket to bring
up coal from her assigned space and
carry it up. That was hard work and
Mama was so happy with her new
“modern” life style.
In addition to all this, my brother
Seymour now had a bedroom of his
own. He used to sleep in the kitchen
where Mama set him up on a cot every night. Now he, too, was happy
with our new home. Papa was happy to have a shorter
walk to the train each work-day
morning.
These wonderful memories gave
me a warm feeling as I enjoyed my
swim that lovely morning. My poem,
just composed now, reflects on happy
we all had been then.
MEMORIES
Life has its good times and it has its
bad ones,
As we move through many suns.
Memories of family make me feel so
great,
while these thoughts keep me in a
happy state.
I will always remember them in
every way,
through my life, from day to day.

Under
the
Garment
By Scott Cunningham
Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman
talks about the level of this world
and the level of the hidden, spiritual
world in a commentary he says can
be taken on these two levels with
his explanation of the Torah Portion
(Pentateuch) Numbers 16:1 – 18:32.
Discovering new and exciting
truths in the scared Torah are what
I love most in life. Within my study
of portion Toldot is my process of my
spiritual development as it happens
within me. “And Elohim said, ‘Let
us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon
the earth’” (Genesis 1:26). Elohim’s
nature is the intelligent energy of
the Creator. What does this verse tell
me? According to the Zohar it tells me
that there is no part within a human
being that does not have a corresponding creature in the world. Just
as the body of a human is composed
of levels of parts that act together to
form a unified body so is the world.
Everything, whether it be human or
the world, resembles the Torah, because the Torah is made of different
parts and sections that support each
other. Every story and every portion
in the Torah happens within me, not
outside of me. Whenever I study the
sacred Torah I nourish the world
and properly cultivate every act in
the world. In portion VaYigash the
Zohar states that man and the world
are one. This is all so beautiful how
could I believe it to be any other way?
As it states in the Zohar (I have run
across this teaching many times),
that the study of Torah is sacred at
any level, and that those who study
it will have a place in this world and
the world to come.
Love your neighbor as yourself
means to love yourself, and then subsequently, you turn the intention into
love of others. Sounds simple enough
but is it and the ultimate scenario a
world that never has even been tried,
called “altruistic communism”? This
love your neighbor as yourself is a
state of being we must learn to give of
ourselves to others completely. And
the method to achieve it is called “the
wisdom of Kabbalah,” whose sole
purpose is to elevate man from the
bottom of his egoism to the degree of
giving and love---And this is to say I
rise from the level of the world to the
level of spiritualism.
In portion Korah Persha (Pentateuch) this process of uniting as one
WATCH FOR
PEDESTRIANS
They are

Neighbors
man with one heart, one desire is
broken apart and the people divided
and dispersed throughout the planet.
In portion Toldot this process is
brought back together as love and is
the dominant factor that corrects our
egos. Our egos are what broke it up in
the beginning so now we need to correct this by silencing our egos. I must
work hard at this as it is not easy to
change. There is much hatred just in
my little world so I will work hard not
to get sucked into this evil allowing
my own ego to take me over. Yet evil
is already in me. From the time of my
creation, the Creator created the evil
inclination and I have misconstrued
the Torah by thinking I am a sinner my only sin would be to never ask for
correction. Therefore, I should never
ask for forgiveness for something the
Creator put in me. Rather, I should
demand that the Creator correct
this in me. I therefore demand that
the Creator correct the evil that the
Creator put into me. I am therefore
to have a constant dialog with the
Creator to fix me.

When having work performed in your condo, you should use only
licensed & insured contractors. You should ask for a certificate
of insurance to include general liability and workers compensation
insurance and ask to see their license and check to see if both are
current.
In the event of a claim, if your insurance company determines that
the contractor or individual installed the equipment incorrectly, the
carrier may subrogate against the contractor for payment of the claim.
Only the insurance company can determine if you will be covered or
not for your damage.

A particular baseball player is said to be a .300 hitter, i.e., he
averages three hits for every ten official at bats. If we assume he gets
two official at bats every game, does he figure to get at least one hit in
most of the games?

Please tell them You Saw

Them For Supporting the
Answer: Yes, but barely. In the course of 100 games, say, the
expectation is that he will get one hit in 42 of the games, two hits in 9
games and no hits in 49 games. Note that this produces exactly a .300
average, i.e., 60 hits in 200 at bats.

Jay’s Computer Service
Thorner’s Corner
By Paul Thorner
I CAN HELP WITH THE NEW WINDOWS 10
Especially For Beginners & New Computer Owners
How I Lost My Marbles
I think everyone considers some
events or moments in their life as
reaching the top or being the best.
A long, long time ago I was the best
marble shooter on the block. I don’t
have the medals or cups to prove it, but
I can still see the 6x8 inch round tin
cigar box on the pantry shelf packed
to the top with the marbles I had won. When I was a boy growing up in
Brooklyn in the 20’s and 30’s, many
of the two and three family row homes
had dirt patches approximately 3x8
ft. in size in front of the house. Some
had been cemented over, others had
trees planted in them and the rest had
been left alone. It was in these empty
patches where we engaged in competitive marble games. Marbles are not
used much now and not everyone
knows what a marble is. Marbles are
smooth glass balls, brightly colored,
approximately a 1/2 inch in diameter.
Other names for marbles are immies,
shooters, aggies. In my youth they
were a source of amusement and
competition. The object of the games
we played was to hit a mark or hole, or
hit another player›s marble or knock
as many marbles as possible out of a
ring. This was done by propelling or
‹shooting› a marble from your hand.
And this was accomplished by putting
the marble on the nail of your thumb
placed between the curled index and
middle finger and ‹shooting› the
marble towards the target by springing the thumb in a quick release motion. It requires a lot of skill to propel
the marble to go exactly where you
want it to.
When I came home after playing
my mother would ask me, “More
marbles? Let me see your hands.” I
knew what she meant. During marble
season the knuckles on my right hand
would be encrusted with dirt, which
could not be washed away. I tried hard
and my mother tried, but remains of
the dirt stayed until the season ended
and the marbles were put away on the
pantry shelf for the next season.
The pantry was reached through
a kitchen door. It was a wooden
structure built on to the back of
the house. On one end it had a door
leading to the back yard. The other
end led to a tiny toilet without a
sink, which was part of the house
structure, but lacking a direct door
from the kitchen. Really, it was like
an outhouse connected to the back of
the house. One more thing. This toilet
was not provided with any heating
arrangement, which meant in the
winter the toilet seat was as cold as
the ice-block in the kitchen icebox.
And, let me tell you, the slow descent
to the seat was a test of courage each
and every time. I believe I left some
frozen epidermis on that old seat. To
this day, I still don’t know why the
house was designed in that manner.
Maybe there was a building code prohibiting a bathroom off the kitchen.
I guess it was built off the pantry for
the convenience of the people downstairs. There was a full bathroom on
the third floor entering off the hall.
There wasn›t any bathroom on the
second floor, where the bedrooms
were. In 1937 my father had a full
indoor bathroom built off the wall of
the kitchen to replace the toilet. The
heck with building codes.
I lived in this house from 1922 until
1947, which included two years away
in the U.S. Navy and my return with
a beautiful, young bride. My marble
tin box was on the shelf all that time.
I know, because every so often I would
go into the pantry and take out a few
marbles and juggle them in my hands.
I loved my marbles. To me they were
objects of beauty. And a reminder of
my skill. Each marble was unique.
I remembered as a youth I would
spread them out on the floor and revel
in the display of bright, swirling colors
surrounding me.
My parents sold the house in 1953.
Included in the sale was a box full of
youthful memories stored in a cigar
tin on the pantry shelf.
And that’s how I lost my marbles.
But, please don’t worry about me. My
doctors say I am getting better. NON-CONTRACT

throughout the years whether
it be live shows or movies.
CenWest Communities, Inc.
is responsible for the common element areas outside

lighting, security, bus service
(both internal and external),
landscaping of the premises,
offices that take care of the
administrative functions,
resident ID’s, auto decals,
in-house TV channel and all
other functions.
As we stated at the outset of
this article, this is meant to

I believe the items outlined
in this article will give everyone an idea of the responsibilities of each group.

BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU –
FACEBOOK SCAM
The BBB said scammers have
revamped the “Facebook Lottery
Scam”. It has been around for several years.
Officials say thieves are luring in
victims by hacking into Facebook
accounts and sending messages that
appear to be from users’ friends.
Disguised as people you know, the
crooks may send you a message telling of their recent winnings in the
fictitious lottery.
Potential victims are sent links to
the pages in an attempt to add credibility to the scammers’ claims.
The scammers will ask the person to pay a delivery fee to claim
their winning prize. The fees were
between $400 and $560.
Below are some tips to keep in
mind when using Facebook or any
other social media sites:
Double check extravagant claims
from friends. Facebook accounts can
be hijacked. Email or call any friend
if you think they may have had their
account hacked.
Grammatical errors and over use
of upper case in messages are almost
certain signs of a scam. Read and
check “notifications” carefully.
Be careful about clicking on unfamiliar sites – they may look real but
are fake.
Do not give out any personal information to someone you do not know
or did not seek out yourself.
Be suspicious of “friend” requests
from people you do not know.
Anyone asking you to send a payment in order to receive a prize from
them is trying to steal your money.
Ignore them.
Watch out for anyone with whom
you develop an online relationship,
and who then asks you for money.
Some scammers have claimed to
represent Facebook, asking victims
to send them payment in order to
“secure” their online information.
Never believe these claims.
Watch out for fake quizzes or tests.
Scammers want you to click on these
so they can hijack your computer
with malware.
If you have questions or concerns
about social media scamming, contact the BBB by calling 800-649-6814.

The Fine Art of Golf
By Art Citron
My ever loving J.B. and I were
watching TV and saw a story about
John Daly. He has turned fifty and
is playing on the Champions P.G.A.
tour. I said it seems like only yesterday that I was working on the 1991
championship tour. The golf world
had never seen anything like John
Daly when he burst onto the scene
25 years ago.
The following is an interesting story I thought you
w o u l d e n j o y. I a t t e n d e d t h e
1991 P.G.A. championship being held
at Crooked Stick Golf Club. At one
point Daly was the ninth alternate.
Nick Price withdrew and John was
informed that he had climbed to first
on the list. He took off from his home
in Memphis and headed to Carmel
Indiana, about 8 hours away. He
took on Price’s caddie, Jeff (Squeaky)
Medlen and joined Bob Lohr and
Billy Andrade to make a threesome.
Both were immediately impressed
by how Daly compressed Pete Dye’s
7,300 yard creation. When he wasn’t
blowing past their shots with a one
Iron, he used his driver and hit it
over and past all the bunkers and
all the trouble. They both agreed it
was the best driving display they had
ever seen.
Daly’s first round put him 2
strokes back of the leader, Kenny
Knox. The round was delayed by a
very violent storm. He followed with
a second round 67 for an eight under
136 and the lead. On Saturday, CBS
zeroed in on its coverage of John. The
huge crowds were all in and big John
obliged, firing a 69 for a three stroke
lead. On Sunday, despite a double
bogey at 17, Daly finished with a 71
to capture the win. During the first
round, storm spectator Tom Weaver,
aged 39, was struck and killed by
lighting. He left behind a wife and
two girls, ages 8 and 12. After his win
Daly donated $30,000 of his $230,000
winner’s check to a trust fund for the
children’s education. Daly refrained
from contacting the family for fear it
would stir up bad memories, but in
2005 there was contact. Daly finally
met the girls, now college grads. John
Daly, said one of the girls, is a Saint.
That’s my kind of guy. Grip It, Rip
It, Share It.
Now for Some golf talk.
When It’s windy use these 4
keys for low flag-finding shots
1) Your key move? Stop your backswing when your left arm reaches
parallel to the ground. To make this
happen set more weight over your
left side and pull your left foot back
a few inches at address. This squares
up your shoulders and keeps your
weight forward through impact.
2) Grip Down a few inches for
extra control because by your
shortening the club, the ball will
launch lower but run out like crazy.
3) Play the ball an inch behind its
normal position and set your hands
in line with your left thigh, so that
the shaft leans forward. This de-lofts
the club for a piercing trajectory.
4) Match your finish to your backswing, with your body facing the
target. This smooths out your tempo.
But don’t slow down your arms! That
only adds loft, and your shots will
fall short.
Thought of the month. When
nothing goes right, go left. Till next
time.
Scammers Claim to Be Working with BBB
Beware of Callers Impersonating BBB
No one is immune from having
their identity stolen, not even Better Business Bureau. Reports have
been coming in to BBB offices and on
Scam Tracker regarding individuals
claiming to be working with BBB.
An Alaska man told us he got
a call from a man named “James
Stewart” stating he was holding a
prize package for him. The Alaska
man reports the caller told him he
was working with BBB to send him
the package and requested he wire
money in order to get the prize.
In Washington, a woman reports
she received a call from someone
named “Troy McMillon.” The caller
told her she won a lottery through
Publisher’s Clearing House and
asked her to fill out a T-91 form. The
information was to be sent to both
the IRS and BBB in order to cover
any taxes she owed on the prize. This is just a snapshot of incidents
reported to BBB. Please remember
that Better Business Bureau does
not operate or partner with groups
who hold lotteries, and will never
ask consumers to wire money in
order to claim a prize.
BBB offers the following advice
on fake calls and emails:
Verify first. If you receive a
phone call from BBB and are uncertain of its accuracy, ask for the
caller’s name and then hang up.
Then lookup your local BBB office
at bbb.org. Call the number listed
online and ask to speak with the
person who called you.
Check the email. BBB does not
use Gmail or Yahoo email addresses
to communicate. Your local BBB
uses emails ending in @thebbb.org.
Don’t open. Never click on links
or attachments from unknown third
parties. This puts you at risk from
downloading viruses or opening
malicious websites.

Hurricane Season runs from June
1 – November 30 of each year, however
the peak of the season has historically
been later in the summer as the sea temperatures get much warmer. This typically occurs in late August to September.
There are many sources of hurricane
information available to us here in South
Florida. Palm Beach County Division of
Emergency Management offers a very
informative website that includes a downloadable annual Hurricane Guide in pdf
format. www.pbcgov.com/dem/hurricane.
This addition of Fire Rescue Fast Facts
will address some commonly asked questions that compliment these resources.
Let’s begin.

before and after a storm so reducing heavy
vegetation on your property should be
done before the hurricane season starts
in June. SWA will pick up to up to 6 cubic
yards of vegetation if placed at the curb
on regularly scheduled collection days
(each piece cannot exceed either 50lbs.

What is a storm surge?
Are there any tips for what to do when a
named storm is approaching?
Have an emergency evacuation plan
is probably the best tip. If you plan to
weather the storm (pun intended), then
take pictures of your home and belongings for insurance purposes. Check your
policies ahead of time since no changes
can be made once a named storm has developed. Think about what life might be
like without power for a few days or even
a week. Things like ATM withdrawals,
laundry, and picking up your prescription
medications should all be done in advance.
Storm surge is associated with a rising
of the ocean water surface which occurs
offshore due to a low pressure weather
system. These exerting forces combined
with high winds push the ocean’s surface
towards the coast causing heavy surges
and mass flooding. The damages of a
