TATIANA AND DOMINIQUE

ARE ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
Were on the move again! Life is great in Century Village. Six days a week, we are content to gossip at the pool, play
cards in the clubhouse, shop at the malls, and eat in local restaurants. However, one day a week, we are determined
to venture beyond Zip Code 33417. Just as we did before retirement, we want to spread our wings and expand our
minds -- not just our waistlines. We have decided not to allow limited finances, aches and pains, or the fluctuating
price of gasoline keep us tied to West Palm Beach.
WE WON THE LOTTERY!

Its George Washingtons birthday and we cannot
tell a lie! We won the Lottery last month!
Giddy with the thrill of a $40 windfall, we
ignored our financial advisors advice to Save and
invest prudently. Instead, we made reservations
to sail on the Blue Horizon Casino Cruise in the
hope that we could parlay our fortune into an
even bigger fortune.
So, on a sparkling clear Sunday morning we
made the short drive to the Port of Palm Beach.
Spotting a handicap parking space, Dominique
quickly pulled into it only to be told by an
attendant that although we self-parked, we had to
pay the $7 valet fee! Inside the ship terminal, we
found long lines of people waiting to get boarding
passes and no separate line for guests like us who
had pre-paid reservations. It took almost an hour
to present valid identification, receive boarding
passes, and go through airport type security before
boarding the ship. Each first-time guest who
joins the Players Club is given a $20 free slot play
card which means the days voyage costs nothing!
Those cards are given out at Guest Services on
Deck 1.
Our boarding pass entitled us to a buffet lunch
in Rebeccas Grille. Water, domestic beer, house
wine by the glass, and well drinks are also free
while gaming as are hot coffee, tea and soda.
However, there were only a few cocktail waitresses
in the casino areas so getting a free beverage was
not easy!
I was told by two crew members that the 160
long Blue Horizon is the first SWATH vessel ever
constructed in the U.S. for gaming and features
the latest in marine technology to ensure that
passengers have an extremely comfortable ride.
She can carry 600 guests and is registered in the
U.S. As non-smokers, we were pleased to learn that
the casino is a non-smoking area. However, there
is a designated outdoor smoking area on Deck 3.
The ship sailed promptly at noon and since
no gambling was allowed until we reached
international waters (3 miles out), we used
this quiet time to explore the ship. The ship is
compact and all the decks were accessible by stairs
and by a small elevator. This is a definite plus for

guests who may have mobility problems or who
use walkers/canes.
Restrooms were located on
all decks.
Rebeccas Grill, the ships main dining venue,
is located on Deck 1 as are the gaming tables. We
counted 10 blackjack tables, 4 roulette tables,
3 craps tables, and various poker tables. Slot
machines are located on Decks 1 and 2. There are
more than 250 slot machines in denominations
that range from 1 cent to $5.
Deck 3 is the entertainment deck. Our cruise
featured a country-western singer/guitarist but
returning gamblers told us that onboard music
ranges from a calypso-style steel drummer to
jazz to rock and roll. Dianes Bar offers a limited
bar menu and is the area where bingo is usually
played during the return trip to Palm Beach. Also
located on Deck 3 is a small outside patio area
where guests can enjoy the sea breeze, sip a frozen
cocktail, and marvel at the mega-yachts sailing
by. Unfortunately, there are only 6 tables and 25
chairs in this area so if you want to sit in the sun, I
suggest you grab a chair early in the day.
At about 1 p.m. we were ready for lunch. Those
who remember dining on the old Palm Beach
Princess will be underwhelmed and disappointed
by the Blue Horizon dining room. It reminded us
of a dingy, high school cafeteria with long lines
of hungry people waiting to be served miniscule
portions of unappetizing, non-descript food on
plastic plates. Although the company website
describes the buffet as offering international
food inspired by the season including tantalizing
entrees and delectable desserts, we were offered
a few chunks of barbecued chicken, grey tilapia,
string beans, bacon, rice, pre-made wilted garden
salad, and a few cookies. The soft ice cream
machine was out of order.
Rather than allow the disappointing meal to
spoil our day, we remembered that we were not
on the ship for a culinary experience but rather to
make money!
Leaving the dining area, Dominique headed for
the slots on Deck 2 while I decided to find a hot
machine on Deck 1. Many of the men on board

were already crowded around the poker tables
so I was able to move between lots of colorful,
flashing machines -- Wheel of fortune, Quick Hit
Platinum, Golden Peach, Sparkling Royal, and
my favorite, Silver Jubilee. It wasnt long before my
$20 players card showed $47. I cashed out and
found Dominique who was experiencing her own
winning streak . She was ahead $31.
At 5 p.m. we disembarked. Self-parking,
although expensive, turned out to be a blessing in
disguise. We did not have to wait to retrieve our
car through valet services so we were the second
car out of the parking lot and home by 5:30 p.m.
Dominique was happy. I was happy. The seas
had been calm and the sun shone all day. Our
Bloody Marys and wine spritzers were free. We
gambled all day using only the money posted to
our Players Cards so we got home with extra
dollars in our pockets.
I can still take my financial advisors advice to
invest my Lottery winnings. All in all a good day!

Maintenance
By Dom Guarnagia
A LITTLE KNOWN AND
UNDER-UTILIZED TOOL
When
an
individual
or
association
is
seeking
l icensed/
i n s u r e d
contractors to
perform work
that is code compliant, warranted,
and uses the materials described in
a written agreement/contract, here
is one place to turn to. Behind the
reception desk at the UCO office is
a looseleaf notebook that, granted,
needs updating, but has information
on painters, door and window
installers, concrete contractors,
electrical contractors, plumbing
contractors and more.
Every day contractors enter the
Village to perform tasks for us
all. Residents unfamiliar with the
work of different contractors can
request and scrutinize reports in the
notebook that have been made on
their work. The reports cover such
things as reliability, punctuality,
workmanlike conduct, adherence
to the contract, correct material
supplied with equal quality or no
substitutions, completion within
the prescribed time frame, customer
satisfaction, etc.
My hope is that before you select
a contractor, you will consult this
log; then after your work has been
done, complete one of the single-page
report forms yourself. Your remarks
can help inform future residents
needing similar work performed. An
educated consumer can make a wiser
choice.
Safety
By George Franklin
Hi folks. I hope
everyone had a
Happy Valentine's
Day. Saint Patrick's
Day is the next
holiday,
which
brings up another
safety
issue:
drinking and driving.
Now we all know we should NOT
drink and drive. The countless
number of accidents and deaths
caused by drinking and driving is
horrendous each year. If you are going
to celebrate the holiday and have a
"taste," not only on Saint Patrick's
day, but for that matter on ANY
holiday, please have a designated
driver chosen or plan on using a taxi
cab. DO NOT DRIVE!
The fines and penalties for
drinking and driving are enormous.
As some notorious cases in the news
media have shown, penalties can

also include years of jail time! To my
knowledge here in Century Village,
I don't recall any DWI--but I could
be wrong. Who wants to go through
the process of being arrested, booked
into jail, embarrassed, having to hire
a lawyer, having to appear in court,
and having his or her life ruined over
a beer? The worst scenario is losing a
loved one or good friend to a drunk
driver. I can tell you, I lost a friend to
a drunk driver and it hurt badly! You
never forget. DON'T DRINK and
DRIVE!
On another subject - how many
of you have had your cars winterized
and checked for the season? You
may feel because the weather here
in Florida is mild that this is not
necessary. However, have all your
fluids been checked and topped off?
Windshield wipers checked and not
smearing? When was the last time
your tires were rotated? Oil change
done? Is your car idling rough? How
about a tune up? You should be on
top of these items no matter what
the season. Car dealers offer many
safety packages. Check with your
dealer for one that satisfies your
needs. Until next time, be safe and
secure out there!
Safety
By George Franklin
Hi folks! Well, we did it. On
January 15th, Century Village
residents filled meeting room C at
the clubhouse to standing room
only. The stormy weather didn't keep
anyone away from the UCO/WPRF
sponsored Active Shooter Response
Seminar. The seminar was attended
by UCO/WPRF officers and the
members of the Palm Beach County
Sheriff's Office.
The instructors were two first class
Special Agents from the DEA with
almost 50 years of law enforcement
experience between them. A number
of videos were shown and residents
were instructed on what to do should
an emergency situation happen in the
Village. Many questions were asked
and then answered by the agents. We
hope that no one ever has to use this
information.
To those of you that were unable
to attend, we hope to do this again
in the coming year and I hope that
you will attend this most important
event. I would like to thank the
Agent Instructors and Capt. William
Bruckner of the Palm Beach County
Sheriff's Office, District Three, for
all their help with this program. And
I would like to also thank WPRF
personnel for their assistance with
the electrical set ups. Most of all I
want to thank all of the residents
that braved the stormy weather to
attend. Be safe, secure and vigilant
out there!

UCOGARBAGE@GMAIL.COM
Waste Pro, our sanitation contractor, has requested

that all service requests from Century Village be
routed through UCO for processing.
The reason for this request is to provide faster
service by reducing multiple requests for the same
job.
Waiting times for service can vary, due to contractor
workload, availability of material and delivery
schedules. All service requests received by UCO
are emailed to a Waste Pro service coordinator
who is permanently assigned to Century Village.

dumpsters or other sanitation related complaints to

LOCAL DINING
COMMENTARY
FISH EATING
NOT TROLLING
The Cerabino Files
BY LENORE VELCOFF
There are two predominantly fish

restaurants one near and one a little
further away - that I have enjoyed
recently. One is a bargain and one a
little more expensive but both worth
trying.
Nicoles Seafood Restaurant - In
business in the Fountain Gate Plaza
on Jog Road in Greenacres for over
seven years, it is where all dinners
are two for $32 cash and two for
$34 credit. With a $2 off coupon,
its even less for a complete dinner;
soup or salad, entre, 2 sides, dessert
and beverage. They serve you hot,
homemade bread to start with and
a different soup every night. Their
mushroom and barley is delicious.
There are more than 32 fish or
seafood dishes that will meet and
please any tastes from the basics to
the little unusual, from baked scrod
to stuffed sole filet with shrimp and
scallops. Each entre is large enough
to take home for another meal.
Finish off with cake or ice cream and
a cup of coffee and you will leave both
full and with a smile on your face.
Closer to home, west of Century
Village on Okeechobee Blvd, is

Bimini Twist, a more upscale
restaurant. It was established in
2002 and specializes in the freshest
seafood from around the world. They
are always true to their word fresh
never frozen. Their all-encompassing
drink menu is the perfect place
to start, serving only name-brand
liquors, over two dozen specialty
drinks, more than 40 various wines,
and now featuring a new draught beer
selection. They have been consistently
rated in the top ten restaurants in all
of South Florida by OpenTable.com.
Everything is ala carte but their
entrees are served with hot garlic
bread, salad and one side, and range
in price from Shrimp Scampi over
Linguine at $24.95 to Yellowtail
Snapper topped with Jumbo Lump
Crab and Bearnaise Sauce at $32.95.
They also have a more varied menu
with beef and chicken dishes. Their
yummy desserts can be paired with a
specialty cappuccino. Whether it is
a special occasion or a night of fine
dining, you will like it.
BY LANNY HOWE
I thought the Cerabino article was
hilarious. Sometimes you need to
step back and take a look at things
from the perspective of an outsider.
Condo living is a pretty funny thing
to begin with, and Cerabino has
written a book about it. I'm going to
send my brother and a friend of mine,
both of whom live on Cape Cod, a
copy of the article.
I don't think Frank was
"disrespectful" of the Village as
Esther Sutofsky maintains. He was
just enjoying a good laugh and
sharing it. I laugh along with him. It's
healthy to laugh at yourself.
I do think he sided far more with
Dave Israel and his administration
than with the malcontents, but that
is just my own opinion. If you read his
column carefully, you'll see it is almost
all quotesif not exact quotes (with
quote marks), then "almost quotes"
(without the marks). The telling
thing to me was that the quotes from
the malcontents were essentially a
display of their vulgarities and grossly
exaggerated charges, while the quotes
from Dave & Company were mostly
their claimed accomplishments.
Cerabino certainly makes a point
of how extreme some of the mal
stuff has been: "For a daily dose

of political vitriol, Villagers can go
online to My Village Blogger, which
bills itself [my emphasis] 'The Voice
of the Malcontents.'"
Plus, "A dictator who has rested
control of the pool and clubhouse?
It's like reading dispatches from
Aleppo [an ancient Arab warring
state], not Okeechobee Boulevard."
Cerabino (purposely, I'm sure, with
no "sic") retains the malcontent
misspelling of "wrest" in this clearly
satirical remark.
And the kicker: "Underhanded
depravity? Seriously? Yes, they're
heavy on the mustard here." I was
laughing so hard I had tears in my
eyes at this one.
Yes, perhaps he was a mite short on
respect. Of the malcontents.
I could go on, but I think the
point has been made. The Village has
been subjected to what everyone in
Southeast Florida fears, the Cerabino
fires. We have emerged a little
scorched, but so what? Hopefully we
can enjoy a good laugh about it and
perhaps not take ourselves quite so
seriously. And stop the ridiculous
hyperbole.
Not Quite, Frank

BY IRV RIKON
Frank Cerabino's column in
Wednesday's Palm Beach Post on
Century Village was not quite frank,
but I'm glad to see that Palm Beach
Post's columnists read Century
Village newspapers even as Villagers'
read The Post.
First, Mr. Cerabino refers to "a
group of retirees clawing at each
other over that last hurrah." What do
those final two words mean? Maybe
that Century Villagers are elderly?
Come on, Frank! You're old enough
to live in Century Village yourself.
Perhaps that's why you've visited
Century Village previously, enjoying
the hospitality of residents and
partaking of Clubhouse celebrations
and pleasures.
You describe Century Village as
a "sprawling condo community."
Century Village does not sprawl. West
Palm Beach sprawls. Los Angeles
sprawls. Century Village is a pleasant
compact residential community with
attractive lawns, swimming pools, a
lake, recreation centers, a clubhouse
housing a large theater and active
classrooms. It lies close to downtown
West Palm Beach, The Kravis Center,
Cityplace, Clematis Street, Palm
Beach, the Outlet Mall, the Florida
Turnpike, I-95 and the airport. In
past years, its residents included the
parents of a top Presidential aide
plus other key Washington officials
and columnists and professors in
prominent universities. Nowadays
its population is more diverse.
Indeed, today it's rather a microcosm
of the United States itself.
And yes, it has several newspapers.
Don't you find it odd that West
Palm Beach has only one newspaper
while Century Village has more than
one? Diversity is the very essence

of true democracy! In a vibrant,
politically active community such
as Century Village differences of
opinion sometimes arise. But your
reportage lacks balance. You quote
someone who equates United Civic
Organization President David Israel
to Hitler. Offensive and inaccurate
as that is, it's also dated. If your
contact chooses to say the president
is a dictator, why not name Vladimir
Putin or the leaders of ISIS? But
invoking the name of a long-dead
person does serve to show how "out
of touch" the president's critics are,
wherein lies part of the disagreement
within the community.
David Israel's working professional
life dealt mainly with the complex
field of national security. He is fluent
in various areas of technology and is
wise enough and humble enough to
call in experts on matters relatively
unfamiliar to him. His opponents
in the forthcoming Century Village
election criticize but hold back
from joining modern technological
advances in this "Information Age"
when terrorism (and lack of common
courtesy) is a concern to us all.
As for me, I write columns for the
UCO Reporter, Century Village's
main newspaper, but over a span
of several decades, I have written
columns for the Palm Beach Post as
well as Letters to the Editor. This is a
relationship I hope to continue. After
all, as the saying goes, "We're all in
this together."
Editors Note: This opinion piece was
originally submitted to the Palm Beach
Post as a Letter to Editor.

SHAKESPEARE FROM MIAMI TO JUPITER & BROADWAY

A R T S A N D E N T E R TA I N M E N T BY I R V R I KO N
This year commemorates the
400th anniversary of the death of
William Shakespeare. To mark the
occasion, the Patricia And Phillip Frost
Art Museum located in the Florida
International
University
campus
in Miami, is hosting a touring
exhibition organized by the Folger
Shakespeare Library in Washington,
D. C. Entitled First Folio! The
Book That Gave Us Shakespeare!
the Miami exhibition runs through
February 28, 2016. Folger, it should
be noted, holds the largest collection
of First Folios in the world.
Shakespeare is generally regarded
as the greatest writer in the English
language. Born on April 23, 1564,
in Stratford-upon-Avon, England,
he was an actor and poet as well as
a playwright. His works include
38 plays, 154 sonnets and two long
narrative poems. The First Folio
is a first edition of his collected
works. It features 36 plays and was
published in 1623, seven years after
Shakespeare's death. 750 copies
were printed of which only 233 are
now known to exist. Eighteen of the
folio's plays had not been published
prior to his demise in 1616. Some of
those include Antony and Cleopatra,
Julius Caesar, The Tempest, Twelfth
Night and As You Like It.
No two copies of the First Folio,
which was proofread as it was printed,
are the same.
Printing presses
stopped routinely as corrections in
the plays were made. Various owners

bound and rebound their personal
copies differently. Pages in some
folios were trimmed, so that sizes are
not identical. The Folio was written
in "old English," not quite the stillevolving English of today. Thus
owners added handwritten notes
and drawings, rendering each copy
virtually unique. In 2006 one mint
condition First Folio was auctioned
in London, where it sold for $5.2
million.
FIU will be the only place in
Florida to hold this distinctive
exhibition.
Admission to The
Patricia and Phillip Frost Art
Museum is free. Tuesday through
Saturday it is opened 10:00AM to
5:00PM. Sunday hours are 12:00PM
to 5:00PM. Monday the Museum is
closed. There are additional events
and programs scheduled with the
exhibition, including a Closing
Festival on February 28. For further
information, a web site is available:
https://folio.fiu.edu/events.html.

one of America's greatest dramatic

musicals, with music by Leonard
Bernstein,
lyrics
by
Stephen
Sondheim and book by Arthur
Laurents, set in New York City, is an
adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo
and Juliet.
For the merry side of Shakespeare,
head to Jupiter, where the MALTZ
JUPITER THEATRE will produce
Kiss Me, Kate! March 8 - 27. One of
America's funniest musicals, with
music by Cole Porter and book by Sam
and Bella Spewack, it's a play within
a play. The two leads of a theatrical
company, formerly husband and
wife, are performing Shakespeare's
Taming of the Shrew. Offstage they
behave much as the characters they
portray onstage which, for viewers,
means hilariously. At one point,
gangsters threaten the husband.
When he tells them he's producing a
Shakespeare play, that gives them an
excuse to sing and dance. While the
melody is one you'll leave the theater
humming,
here are the words Cole Porter
uses to describe his feelings about
the Bard:
Shakespeare isn't just Shakespeare

anymore. Playwrights are forever
adapting the Bard's works for the
modern stage. West Side Story,
Brush up your Shakespeare,
Brush up your Shakespeare.

Start quoting him now.
And the women you will wow.
Just declaim a few lines from
"Othella"
And they'll think you're a helluva
fella.
If your blonde won't respond when
you flatter 'er,
Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer.
If she fights when her clothes you
are mussing,
What are clothes?
About Nussing."
"Much Ado
Brush up your Shakespeare

And they'll all kowtow.
Then go to the St. James Theatre
on 44th Street in New York City
to see Something Rotten, an
uproarious musical comedy about
Shakespeare himself and two of his
contemporaries, brothers who are
also playwrights. They hate him.
During the course of the show,
Shakespeare acts, becomes a song
and dance man, and writes Hamlet.
Meanwhile, the older brother, with
advice from a soothsayer related to
Nostradamus who likewise peers
into the future, writes the world's
very first musical. Rarely have I
laughed so hard and loud as I did
watching this show. Sometimes I
missed lines in the play because the
whole audience was howling with
laughter.
Yes, Shakespeare lives!

WPRF NEWS
BY E VA R ACHESK Y
D e a r
Residents,
In
my
February
article I wrote
about WPRF
ID cards and
that,
when
asked, said ID
Eva Rachesky card MUST be
presented as
V.P., WPRF
proof that you
have the right
to be on recreational property. I am
dismayed that so many are refusing
to show their ID cards when asked,
saying they felt they were being
targeted.
What I am targeting are the locals
that come in on a regular basis,
without a guest pass, and STEAL
what you are paying to use, maintain
and replace. Additionally, there are
approximately 14,000 residents from
January to March with thousands
accessing the recreational facilities.
Spot checking IDs sends a clear
message that WPRF is watching and
protecting what you are paying for.
Please do not verbally assault the
Security Guards as they do not make
the policies, WPRF does. Security
is just being asked to enforce them.
If you have something to say on the
matter please call or come to see me
in my office which is located upstairs
by the library. I am always willing to
listen and discuss any matter that
concerns the residents.
Ive been receiving reports that
in the early morning hours some
residents have come across people
swimming in the nude. Whether it is
skinny dipping or ritualistic bathing

it is classified as Indecent Exposure
and is considered a crime. The last
thing I would want to do is bring in
the local authorities, but I will be
left with no choice if this does not
stop. As an added incentive I will be
looking into installing cameras so
that our Security Officers can help
monitor this issue while allowing me
to provide video to the Palm Beach
Sheriffs Office.
Now onto the subject of the
Indoor Pool mural.it is complete
and fabulous and, from all reports,
is a huge hit. The tropical rain forest
theme adds an incredible WOW
factor to the area. If you have not
seen it, please stop by.it is a true
work of art! Another project that is
wrapping up is the installation of new
Petanque courts located next to the
Shuffleboard courts. The new space
doubles the amount of space for play
and will be enjoyed by many. New
landscaping will be added over the
summer months to bring additional
beauty to the Petanque area as well as
to the Guest Pool.
Lastly, I would like to touch on
our theater attendance which seems
to be up this year. While this is
good news, the down side is our lack
of parking. Please, please, please
consider carpooling or taking the
bus, thereby reducing the number
of cars circling for a parking space.
I have grave concern that a vehicle
will hit a pedestrian; and though
Security does an incredible job of
keeping everyone safe I continue to
have nightmares that it could still
happen.

WILD ANIMALS, OH MY!

BY B O B B I L E V I N
Im an animal lover. I support

the Palm Beach Zoo and
visit it regularly. I take
out-of-town guests to
McCarthys Wildlife
Sanctuary to learn
about endangered
species from the
owner, a big cat
expert. If I catch a
gecko in my condo,
I return it to the great
outdoors. And, I dream
about taking photos
while on a safari in Kenya
and Botswana. Since that
isnt going to happen in
the foreseeable future, my
sister and I made a return
visit to Lion Country
Safari in Loxahatchee last
week in the hopes of seeing
some unusual animals and birds
close to home.
Company literature says that as
the nations first cageless zoo, Lion
Country Safari has been a leader in
the conservation movement since
1967. It is actively involved in Species
Survival Programs and participates in
the ChimpanZoo Observer program.
As a licensed rehabilitation facility, it
offers
care before
returning
animals to the wild.
Located 10 miles west of the
Florida Turnpike on Southern
Blvd., the complex includes both a
drive-through safari park and an

amusement park. Admission prices
vary and discount passes are often
found online and in newspapers.
Upon entering the drivethrough safari, you are lent
an explanatory CD to
install in your car
radio and a field
guide describing
the animals in the
preserve. You are
instructed to keep
the windows and
doors of your vehicle
closed and locked at all
times and do not leave
the vehicle for any reason.
Although
a
brochure
states that you may drive
through this section of the
park as often as you like at
no additional cost, we were
denied that option.
The drive-through safari
park is divided into 6 different
sections. Las Palmas, the grassland
area of South America, is where
we spotted ostriches, pelicans, and
llamas. Gorongosa Reserve, located
in northern Mozambique, is one of
Africas famous wildlife areas and
is where we saw horned oryx and

a pride of lions. Ruaha National
Park area, also in Africa, featured
herds of greater kudu and impala.
The Serengeti Plains, east Africas
most famous wildlife area, featured
wildebeest, waterbuck, eland, and
watusi. Gir Forest, a national park
in India, is the area where we spotted
water buffalo, nilgai and blackbucks.
Hwange National Park, located in
western Zimbabwe, is the area of
the park where we saw nyala, zebras,
chimpanzees, giraffes and a white
rhinoceros.
In fact, we found the drivethrough safari experience rather
boring. Perhaps the temperature
(about 70 degrees) and the time of
day (11 a.m.) had something to do
with how inactive the animals were
-- all the lions (enclosed in a pen)
were asleep, the one rhino was too
far away to appreciate, and only two
chimpanzees were visible in their
enclosure. It is hard to differentiate
between oryx, gemsboks and impalas
while maneuvering a car and listening
to a CD. I seem to remember many
more roaming animals during my
last visit, including elephants and
herds of rhino. And, Ive seen more

turtles and birds on the lake outside

my condo.
If you have young children
visiting, you might want to consider
a day at Lion Country Safari.
Included in your admission ticket
is entry into both the drive-through
safari and the walk-through Safari
World Amusement Park. The later
is a Disney-like complex and offers
many complimentary attractions
including water slides, a carousel,
a flying elephant ride, paddleboat
rental, miniature golf, and a safari

maze. You can pan for gems and
stones or ride on the El Paso Train.
Bring bathing suits and cool off
in Safari Splash with 23 interactive
water functions.
Visitors can
interact with the lories at the Lory
Feeding Aviary, the giraffe at the
Giraffe Feeding Area, and the sheep
or goats at the Petting Zoo. Exhibit
talks are scheduled throughout the
day. Wear comfortable shoes as you
will be doing a lot of walking.
The restrooms that I used were,

unfortunately, not clean or wellmaintained -- dirty floors, discolored
mirrors, and there was no soap.
There are many restaurants and
gift shops throughout the park.
Bottled water is pricey so I suggest you
bring your own. I assume the pizza
is the best in the world because the
prices for a pie were exorbitant. the
fried dough covered with powdered
sugar was yummy!
While I did not have any children
with me, I did enjoy walking

through the amusement park and
seeing the looks of amazement
on toddlers faces as they got up
close and personal with small farm
animals and colorful birds. I did
get the chance to ask questions of
the attendants in both the tortoise
enclosure and the giraffe feeding
area so I, along with the five-yearolds, learned some interesting facts.
If you are looking for an exciting,
wild animal safari experience, Lion
Country Safari may disappoint you.
However, if you have young children
to entertain, the two-park complex is
worth a visit.

The
Readers Corner
BY LENORE VELCOFF
THE MAG IC STR INGS OF FR ANKIE PR ESTO

The Magic Strings of Frankie
Presto is the story of a gifted
musician who was abandoned at
birth and wanders through life, fame
and fortune, and solitude along
with a guitar that has strings that
turn blue. Many voices tell the story
of Mitch Alboms latest tale. I was
not going to write it up because it is
a strange book but my friend Belle
told me how much she loved it, so
I decided to let you make your own
decision.
The narrator of the story is Music.
That's right. Albom treats music
like a person and he tells the life
story of Presto, as do other people
who have given Albom permission
to use their names and to tell about
their connection with this fictional
character. The reader is taken from
Spain to England to Detroit, to New
Zealand and New Orleans, and so
many other places where Frankie
Presto plays his guitar, sings, and
has his path overlapped by famous
and legendary musical figures such
as Elvis Presley, Duke Ellington, and
Lyle Lovett.
The multiple time periods were
right up my alley and the way he
weaved real-life people into Frankies
story was imaginative. As I read along
I was very eager to see what music
icon would be introduced next. From
infancy music was Frankies savior
and served as his constant companion
throughout his life. All the while,
Frankie reels from the memories
of his grueling childhood in a civil
war-strewn Spain and his apparent
orphaning and later abandonment
in England. It takes decades for him
to come to terms with his mistakes
and his shortcomings, something
many creative types suffer.
I found that Albom did a great job
developing both the main character
in the book as well as the supporting
characters. In addition he did a good
job of setting the scenes in the book
from the burning church where
Frankie was born to the Woodstock
Music festival. This story tells
Frankie's life and the impact it had
on people close to him and to those
who were at a distance.

It was really unlike any story that
I have read to date. The narrator of
Music also reminds the
reader/listener of the
importance of music
and musicians. I don't
think you need to be
a music lover to enjoy
this book, but if you
are you will enjoy it
immensely. This book
captured me from
the first paragraph
and didn't let me go
until I finished it. The
narrator of this book,
Music, describes how
we are imbued with him
from birth. He relates
the story of one of the
musicians he infused:
Frankie Presto, whose
tale starts and ends
in Villareal Spain,
where he is thoroughly
trained on the guitar. I
won't say more because
I think the beauty of this book is to

not know the plot beforehand. Most
reviewers loved it. Im not sure.

Message from Sheriff From Representative

Ric Bradshaw
Ted Deutch
BY R I C B R A D S H AW
At the Sheriffs
Office,
we
take bullying
very seriously.
Bullying,
as
you may know,
is a form of
aggressive
behavior
in
which someone causes another
person injury or discomfort through
physical contact, words, or other
actions.
For many victims, bullying starts
at the elementary school level, with
subtle actions such as kids not
wanting to take turns going down
the slide or refusing to share their
toys and taking items from other
children. By high school, those
bullied can suffer from mental health
problems including depression,
headaches and anxiety, and can
contemplate suicide. Children and
adolescents who are bullies are at
increased risk for substance use,
academic problems, and violence to
others later in life.
In response, my staff has created
an award-winning anti-bullying
program at two Lake Worth
elementary schools that we envision
expanding to other schools across
Palm Beach County.
Since 2012, more than 100
children in fourth and fifth grades
have graduated from our 12-week
program in which students learn
in the classroom about bullying
behaviors and then get rewarded for
participating by playing kickball.
Many of the students are at risk,
coming from poor families where
parents are working a lot and some
family members are involved in gang
activity. The program at North Grade
Elementary School and South Grade
Elementary School teaches the youth

how to follow directions, problem
solve and use tools. They learn once
a week for one hour how to avoid
bullying and gangs and how to avoid
becoming victims of crime.
Part of the program is having my
deputies work elbow-to-elbow with
the students in building motorized
erector set cars. These experiences
teach students about the work law
enforcement does as well as the
meaning of respect, working hard,
and being productive citizens.
Those completing the cars project
get certificates and a day trip to
LEGOLAND in Winter Haven, Fla.
This is a big honor for these students
because they dont get recognized
often and many have never been to
LEGOLAND or many other places
outside of our county.
Our anti-bullying initiative caught
the attention of the Anti-Defamation
League, which has partnered with us
in its No Place for Hate School. Our
program has been widely covered
by our local news and has received
commendations from Congressman
Alcee Hastings and many others in
the community. My deputies are
constantly being approached by
teachers and principals from other
schools who are interested in learning
more about our program in hopes of
starting it in their schools.
To me, this program organized
by our Lake Worth District 14
Community Policing Unit signifies
the best of what the Sheriffs Office
does in our community. We want
to prevent the terrible troubles that
bullying creates so we are addressing
the root causes of it early on just
as children start developing into
teenagers.
BY T E D D E U T C H
Consumers
a l r e a d y
face
huge
challenges
when it comes
to
taking
on
special
interests
in
court.
Yet under a federal law enacted
in 2005, the Protection of Lawful
Commerce in Arms Act, holding
gun manufacturers and sellers
accountable for negligent behavior
or defective products is nearly
impossible. This law was designed
to give the gun industry legal
immunities enjoyed by no other
industry
in
America,
from
tobacco companies to automobile
manufacturers to the pharmaceutical
industry.
This law doesnt just undermine
the right of lawful gun owners and
gun violence victims to have their
day in court, it also weakens public
safety. Before the laws passage in
2005, lawsuits filed against the gun
industry helped spur manufacturers
and dealers to adopt new safety
measures and improve their business
practices.
For example, in 2000 the gun
manufacturer Smith & Wesson
agreed to improve the safety
devices on its handguns as part of a
settlement ending several lawsuits
brought against the manufacturer
for faulty mechanisms. And in 2004,
Bushmaster agreed to better its
distribution practices after a $2.5
million settlement held it liable for

knowingly supplying a negligent gun
shop with the assault weapons used
by the DC sniper to kill 17 Americans
in 2002.
The gun industry has claimed
it needs the Protection of Lawful
Commerce in Arms Act to stop
frivolous lawsuits from moving
forward. But there is nothing
frivolous about the claims brought
by families of slain police officers,
of children killed in accidental
shootings, or of people murdered in
mass shootings.
Congress overstepped its authority
with this law when it stripped judges
of the discretion to decide which
cases are credible and which are
frivolous. In fact, since the laws
passage in 2005, it has kept all but
two challenges to the gun industry
from advancing in court. Its time for
this special gift to the powerful gun
lobby to go, and thats why this week
I co-introduced legislation to repeal
it. At a time when the United States
loses 32,000 lives to gun violence
every year, the Equal Access to Justice
for Victims of Gun Violence Act
restores the right of Americans to
have their day in court.
As a member of the House
Judiciary Committee, I firmly believe
that no one person, company, or
industry deserves to operate above
the law. Its time we level the playing
field for victims of gun violence and
reestablish our court system as a
powerful platform for consumers to
hold powerful interests accountable.

Take Two and Hit To Right
Sports of The
CenturyVillage
Around the Bases

with
Irwin Cohen
Sam Milham
Last months question:
What is the meaning of Take Two
And Hit To Right?
Answer: Its what a coach or a

father tells a small-built youngster
who is being pitched to by a slightly
older, bigger-built pitcher who
throws hard. I was told these exact
words as a youngster. The reason for
hitting to right was because (1) in
general the worst fielder on the team
was assigned to right field, and (2)
a little fellow, usually right-handed,
would have difficulty pulling the
ball to left.
Football:
As I predicted, Denver won Super
Bowl 50. It was won by Denvers
defense. While I am happy for Peyton
Manning, he did not have a Peytontype game. In fact, his performance
in his last three games, all wins,
should convince him to retire and
go out a winner. His fastball is gone
and he cannot throw the bomb to
keep the defense honest any longer.
He is now two and two in Super Bowl
appearances and is a sure first-ballot
Hall of Famer.
The old baseball rule Good
pitching beats good hitting
certainly applied to football here.
Denvers defense, led by Demarcus
Ware and Von Miller, the games
MVP, helped produce four Panther
turnovers while holding Cam
Newton to one of his worst days of
the season. He completed only 18 of
41 passes, had one interception, and
had a quarterback rating (QBR) of
16.9, probably the worst of his short
career. Peyton had only a 56.6 QBR;
the league average is 86.9. Peytons
career QBR is 97.2, while Cams is

88.2.
The pundits who figured the
Panthers would run away with this
game have plenty of egg on their
face. The Panthers had a great year
and Cam Newton was the leagues
MVP, but the pundits forgot about
one thing: the pressure of the Super
Bowl. During the two weeks between
the league championship game and
the Super Bowl, the scrutiny by TV,
radio, and the print media is intense.
On the Wednesday before SB #50,
Cam Mr. Cool and league MVP
lost his composure and told the press
to stop repeating the same questions.
Media pressure, in my opinion, got
to the Panthers, with the result that
Denver, a 5 point underdog with
many veterans on its team, won the
game.
The game proved two things:
Peyton may be finished, and if so, the
game loses a great player; and Cam
and his Carolina team have been
brought down to earth. Lets hope
the Panthers learn that the game
is played to determine which is the
best team, not what the press andw
experts say. Those of you who listen
to me on Monday nights at 5 p.m.
may remember I warned about the
impact of media pressure. By the way,
thanks for listening and keep doing
so.
Question Of The Month:

Who was the losing coach in Super
Bowl I?
Till then, take two and hit to right!

I started following baseball as a

young youngster in Detroit in 1950.
In the fourth grade in the yeshiva at
the time, I was close to the bottom of
the class, but in baseball knowledge I
was at the top.
I had a big advantage over
my classmates in the baseball
department. My father drove Hymie
the newsstand guy home every Friday
from his outdoor downtown stand.
In return for his earlier arrival home,
Hymie would give my father a copy
of the Sporting News (at the time the
weekly Jewish Press size publication
was called "Baseball's Bible").
I devoured the articles and
memorized the players' faces. One
of the players who got a lot of ink in
1950 was Cleveland Indians' third
baseman Al Rosen, who would lead
the American League in home runs.
My father informed me that Rosen
was Jewish and I targeted him as one
of the players that I would follow
closely.
Let's take a look back at Rosen's
career. Raised in Miami, he began his
professional baseball career in 1942.
He opted for military service in the
Navy and saw action in the South
Pacific and Okinawa.
Discharged in 1945, he played
a couple of seasons in Cleveland's
minor league system. After posting
a .327 batting average in the minors
in 1948, the Indians brought him up
and he had five big league at-bats and
one more in the World Series against
the Boston Braves.
As time wore on, new television
programs went on the air in America.
The Milton Berle Show, Perry Como's
Chesterfield Supper Club, Arthur
Godfrey's Talent Scouts and Ed
Sullivan's Toast of the Town.
After some more minor league
seasoning, Rosen made the big

leagues to stay in 1950, and the
27-year-old hit a respectable .287
and his 37 homers led the league. He
slumped a bit in 1951 as his average
dipped to .265 and the number of
home runs declined to 24. But he
compiled 102 RBIs and he supplied
more offense than any other third
baseman in the league.
The following year Rosen's 105
runs batted in led the league and his
.302 batting average and 28 home
runs were among the leaders and
fans were following him closely the
following season.
In 1953 Rosen was aiming for
the league lead in three categories-home runs, runs batted in (RBI) and
batting average--the Triple Crown.
Rosen's 45 home runs and 145 RBIs
led the league and he was virtually
tied for batting average with Mickey
Vernon of the Washington Senators
going into the last game of the
season.
Rosen missed out on the batting
title by the narrow margin of only
one percentage point as he grounded
out in his last at-bat. Washington's
game ended with Vernon due up, but
a teammate was conveniently picked
off first base with two out, saving
Vernon from batting and possibly
losing the title to Rosen.
While Rosen's .336 batting average
fell one point short of Vernon's,
Rosen was the unanimous choice
by voters for the American League's
Most Valuable Player Award.
Rosen had a memorable All-Star
Game in 1954 before the home crowd
in Cleveland as he blasted two home
runs and drove in five runs for the
American League as they defeated
the National League 11-9. He finished
the season with a .300 average, 24

homers and 102 RBI. However, a

nagging injury hampered Rosen's
batting ability most of the season
adding to the pressure of mastering a
new position as he was asked to play
first base.
More injuries limited his 1955
statistics to a .244 average and 21
home runs. On June 24, 1956, Rosen
had his 1000th career hit. Injuries
kept him out of 33 games that year
and when the season ended his
average stood at .267 with 15 home
runs.
Only 32 at the time, Rosen's 10
years with Cleveland ended with
a lifetime batting average of .285
and 192 home runs. He could have
played in 1957 and beyond if he had
accepted a trade to Boston worked
out by Indians general manager
Hank Greenberg, Rosen's boyhood
idol.
Rosen opted to retire as his wife
was having health issues, and he was
happy in Cleveland where he had a
good position with the investment
firm of Bache and Company. Rosen
was a hero to Jewish fans, as he didn't
play on the High Holidays and never
allowed an anti-Semitic taunt by an
opposing player to go unanswered
with his boxing skills.
Rosen worked as a stockbroker in
Cleveland for 17 years before serving
as a vice-president of a top Las
Vegas hotel, before getting back into
baseball as president of the Yankees.
After only 13 years in the position,

Rosen resigned without offering an
official explanation. He thanked
Yankees' meddling owner George
Steinbrenner for getting him back
into the game and summed it all up
by saying, "I've always told George: I
love you as a friend. I just can't work
for you."
Not unemployed for long, Rosen
was hired as a supervisor of credit
operations for an Atlantic City casino
before being named as president and
general manager of the Houston
Astros. After leaving that position at
the end of the 1985 season, Rosen's
friend Robert Lurie, who owned
the San Francisco Giants, bestowed
upon him the same title he had in
Houston. Lurie sold the club in 1992
and Rosen resigned reasoning that
the new ownership should pick their
own management team. Rosen, 68
at the time, slid away from the game
gracefully and into retirement with
his wife in the San Francisco area.
He died at 91 in Eisenhower
Medical Center in Rancho Mirage of
what was called natural causes.

The Tennis and Pickleball Club had

their Annual Meeting on January
20th and there was a huge turnout.
Elections were held and the new
Officers for 2016-17 are Les RivkinPresident, David Advocat and Alain
Methot- Vice Presidents, TreasurerAlan Cutler, Secretary- Arlynn
Abramson and Board RepresentativeRhoda Nadell.
There are SO many exciting
upcoming events planned for all our
players. On February 10th, we had
our first Mixed Doubles tournament.
Players signed up before the date and
then were assigned partners that
morning. A good time was had by all!
There will also be a Single Womens
and Mens Tournament posted on
the board soon at Somerset pool.
On March 2nd, we will have this
years first Pickleball Mixed Doubles
tournament, divided into Beginners
and Advanced players. Registration
will be from 8:00 a.m. through 8:30
a.m. that morning. Twenty-four

noon. Make sure to arrive early to
register. It will be in a round robin
format by double elimination.
Congratulations go to our Mens
Traveling Tennis Team who played at
the Ibis Club on February 4th under
the leadership of Co-Captains Alan
Cutler and Jacques Lageux.
Unfortunately for our sailors, the

winds have been blowing our sails a
bit too mightily this past month, and
while some races were held despite
adverse atypical weather conditions,
others will have to be postponed to
later in the season. Yes, our sailors are
tough, but gusts of up to 55 mph are
not part of their normal experience.
We applaud your tenacity in the face
of rain, wind, but thankfully not
snow.
On the social scene: our wellattended installation breakfast, held
Sunday, January 17th was a huge
success as always. Our slate for 2016
is as follows: Commodore Kathy
Forness; Vice-Commodore Nick
Goeb; Rear Commodore Bernie
Abbott;
Purser Howard OBrien; and
last but not least long-time scribe
Helga Lieb-ONeill. We wish our
officers the very best throughout the
year and thank them in advance for
their hard work. Theo Martzoukos
and Ron Helms had everyone howling
with another of their brilliant skits.
Cheerleaders, under the direction of
Gail Fei, contributed songs related
to sailing and then led the entire
assemblage in a sing-along.
The results for the winter series
sailing season have just come in. For
the Tuesday championship races: 1st
place Jan Roszko, 2nd Marc Benson,
3rd Ron Helms, 4th Dave Forness,
5th Alan Twohig, 6th Nick Goeb. Jan
Roszko also came in first for Friday's
navigational races. Congrats, Jan! As
it happens, we had a three-way tie for
second place because each competitor
garnered the same amount of points
throughout the series: Kathy Forness,
Ron Helms, and Marc Benson.
Applause to all our great sailors!
The spring championship races are
already underway as of February 9
and the navigational February 12.
We met for luncheon at the Golden
Corral on Wednesday, February 17th
. Then on Sunday, March 6th at 7PM,
Ryan and the Rockers will once again
regale us with their oldies music.
Tickets are $10 (sans dinner) and are
going fast, so grab them up ASAP.
Pot lucks are always the first Tuesday
of the month with set-up at the
Clubhouse pool at 5:15PM. Meetings
are the second Friday of the month
in Room C of the Clubhouse. In the
meantime, join our jolly group and
perhaps even come down to the dock
for lessons and ultimate certification
so you can SAIL AWAY!
Shuffleboard
by Ed Wright
By the time you read this the
shuffleboard season will be almost
over. The second season ended
on February 11th. I will list the
tournament winners in the next
issue. We had our annual breakfast
at The Golden Corral. That always is
a good time.
Our awards banquet will be in
March also at the Golden Corral.
That date has not been set at the time
of this article. We will have it before
anyone heads back up north. We now
have 49 members, 10 of whom are
first timers.
Everyone is welcome to play with
us. We play singles on Tuesdays,
doubles on Wednesdays, and my
favorite, bowling pin on Thursdays. If
you would like to join us come to the
courts by 1:15 P. M. so we can start
playing by 1:30. We have players of
all different abilities. The equipment
is provided. It is always good to get
outside, get a little exercise, and meet
new people. If you have any questions

scholarship
Dorothy Jacks
program in 1993,
with the first awards presented in
1994. We give five $1,000 scholarships
every year. Through 2015, we have
awarded $120,000 to college-bound
high school seniors.
We are especially proud that
voluntary employee donations to our
Friday Casual Dress Day fund the
scholarships.
The March 31, 2016, deadline is
approaching. The 2016 application
is available on our website, pbcgov.
com/PAPA. Students may also pick
up an application from their high
school guidance counselors. To
be eligible, the student must be a
resident of Palm Beach County and
have a minimum 3.0 GPA.
The applicant must be graduating
from a public, private, or homeschool
within Palm Beach County and
entering college as a full-time
student. The college or junior
college they plan to attend must be
accredited.
An Employee Committee selects
the five recipients from a field of
applicants. In 2015, 142 high school
seniors submitted applications. It is
not easy to winnow those down to
five.
If you know of a college-bound
student from Palm Beach County in

Sharon R. Bock
Esq. Clerk & Comptroller,

Palm Beach County
March
1319
marks
"Sunshine
Week",
a
n a t i o n a l
initiative
established
to
promote
a
dialogue
about
the
Sharon Bock
importance of
open government and freedom of
information. Sunshine Week seeks
to enlighten and empower citizens to
play an active role in their government
at all levels by giving them access
to information that makes their
lives better and their communities
stronger.
As your independently elected
Clerk & Comptroller, my office
holds and safeguards the majority
of records that impact your life.
Whether it is a marriage license,
property deed, or traffic ticket it is
our job to protect the integrity of

these documents so commerce and
your life run smoothly. It is also our
responsibility to provide citizens
with efficient and effective access to
these public records.
In this capacity, I am continuously
seeking new ways to make
information accessible to the public.
By leveraging new technology,
my office has made it possible for
citizens to access public records
including information on court cases
and minutes for Palm Beach County
Board of County Commissioners
meetings via our website www.
mypalmbeachclerk.com. Currently,
my office is in the process of moving
hundreds of thousands of civil cases
to a state-of-the-art case web-based
system. This project is the next step
towards making civil and criminal
court document images accessible
online to the public by mid-2016.
This new system paves the way for
free public online access to court
document images.
The right to access information
serves as one of the most vital
cornerstones of our democracy and
is fundamentally important to the
citizens of the state of Florida. In
addition to a comprehensive set of
laws guaranteeing access, Florida is
one of only a few states to provide
a constitutional right of access to
government meetings and records.
This constitutional right means that
elected and government officials
have a responsibility to provide you
with the ability to view and retrieve
public information. As citizens we all
have a duty to demand it.
Sunshine
Week
ensures
accountability and promotes a
dialogue about the importance of
open government and freedom of
information. To learn more about
the services provided by your Clerk
& Comptroller and ways to access
public records please visit www.
mypalmbeachclerk.com.
The
Florida
Constitution
established the independent office of
the Clerk & Comptroller as a public
trustee responsible for safeguarding
public records and public funds.
Clerk Sharon Bock is directly elected
by and accountable to Palm Beach
County residents. She serves as
your Clerk of the Circuit Court,
County Recorder, Clerk of the Board
of County Commissioners, Chief
Financial Officer, Treasurer and
Auditor for Palm Beach County.

Congress passed the REAL ID
Act in response to the 9/11 terrorist
attacks. The goal of REAL ID is to
improve the integrity and security
of state-issued driver licenses and ID
cards.
There has been some confusion
about REAL ID deadlines, what
states are compliant, how long
a driver license can be used for
domestic travel, and whos affected.
Florida is a Real ID compliant state.
A Florida REAL ID driver license/
identification card is an accepted
form of identification for domestic
air travel. If you are a Florida driver
and have not obtained your REAL
ID license, you have until October
1, 2020. A Florida REAL ID drivers
license has a star in the upper right
corner. A valid U.S passport is also a
REAL ID compliant document that
can be used for domestic travel.
Note: A new REAL ID driver
license/ID card cannot be obtained
online.
Property Tax Deadline

March 31 is the last day to pay
your current property taxes. Unpaid
2015 Property Taxes are delinquent
on April 1. Pay your property taxes
online to save time and money. Epay
is fast, secure, and convenient.
Catch a break on your 2016
Property Taxes. We offer a quarterly
Installment Payment Plan which
divides your taxes into four
payments. Installment Payment
Plan participants receive a discount
of slightly under 4%. It is simple to
enroll in the plan. Visit our website
at
www.pbctax.com/installmentpayment-plan. Applications must be
received by 5 p.m. April 30.
Spring Break
Its March and that means Spring
Break is near. Palm Beach County
schools are closed March 18-25.
Many students visit our service
centers during their break for their
first drivers license. Nearly half of

the first-time drivers fail their written
test. In response to those numbers,
our agency developed a study
buddy a free In the Drivers Seat
app. In the Drivers Seat provides
study materials, driving laws, safety
tips and much more. Encourage the
teens in your life to download In the
Drivers Seat app today.
Distracted Driving
Legislation
Everyone knows that texting while
driving distracts drivers and causes
accidents. Knowledge of that fact
seems to do little to end the behavior.
Since 2013 Florida law has classified
texting while driving as a secondary
offense. This means a driver cannot
be pulled over for texting while
driving. They must be speeding or
driving recklessly.
The Florida Legislature has an
opportunity to make us safer on
the roads. They are considering a
bill that would make texting while
driving a primary offense. The bill
doesnt stop at texting; it includes
reading or sending a text, email or
instant message while driving. Lets
not wait for legislation. Join us and
pledge to put the phone away and say
no to distracted driving temptations.
Dave Aronberg
State Attorney
The job of State Attorney is to do

justice, not necessarily convict. But
conviction rates are still a way to
judge a State Attorneys Office. That
is, how successful is an office in
prosecuting criminal defendants?
Back in 2011, the State Attorneys
Office had a 52% conviction rate for
misdemeanor crimes. Today, the
conviction rate is 85%. In 2011, the
State Attorneys Office had an 77%
conviction rate for felonies. Today, the
conviction rate is 92%. In 2011, the
Palm Beach County State Attorneys
Office was ranked 20th out of 20
circuits dead last in convicting
criminal defendants. Today, our
ranking has jumped up to 8th. At the
same time, our direct file numbers
-- i.e., the number of juveniles sent to
adult court -- continue to decrease
for nonviolent juvenile offenders.
Heres more good news: Back in
2011 it took an average of 123 days
for a case to reach final disposition.
Today, that number has dropped to
88 days. Understanding that "justice
delayed is justice denied," our team is
operating more efficiently and with
much better outcomes than in years
past!
We are continually working to
do justice for our community and
to make Palm Beach County the
safest it can possibly be. Our office
is independent of any state or federal
official, which means that our only
boss is YOU, the Palm Beach County
resident. We are always interested in
your opinions, as we reflect the values
of our community. Your priorities are
our priorities.

I quickly open the refrigerator

door to find a jumble of leftovers,
staple items, an avocado and
asparagus. I grab a pot, heat up
a grill pan, and put my Grilled
Spring Asparagus with Avocado
Hollandaise into action. This
side dish can cook in 15 minutes
(or less, if you crank up the heat),
perfect for unexpected dinner
guests.
I believe a side dish should

carefully remove the egg from the

Toast the challah until crispy

sure to distribute the pepper evenly.

egg yolks and butter. That is not my idea of light.

With avocados, which are being touted as reducing
cholesterol, you can feel good applying hollandaise
sauce liberally to your asparagus (or anything else
on the table).
Since entres are typically complex with
layers of flavor, a side dish should be simple
and complimentary. Try pairing Grilled Spring
Asparagus with pasta, a flaky white fish, chicken
breast, red meat, or even red wine.
My Grilled Spring Asparagus with Avocado
Hollandaise seemed to emanate a light in my
dining room that Friday night, and my guests
continually made excuses to stay longer. Saturday
morning, however, a small container of leftover
avocado hollandaise sauce stared at me from the
top shelf of the refrigerator. I sought to create
a contemporary version of a well-loved dish:
eggs benedict. The dish also transforms leftover
Challah bread from the previous night.
Grilled Spring Asparagus with Avocado

Hollandaise sauce
1/2 pound green asparagus, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 ripe Hass avocado
1/2 cup non-fat milk
3 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Fill a large metal or glass bowl
with cold water and ice. Set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Boil the asparagus for 2 minutes or
until bright green in color. Transfer
asparagus to the bowl with ice. This
stops the asparagus from cooking
and preserves the bright green color.
Heat a grill or grill pan and brush
with canola oil. Grill asparagus for
3 minutes on each side or until grill
marks appear. Sprinkle asparagus
with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and

pepper. Remove asparagus from pan
and onto serving platter.
For the avocado hollandaise: In a
blender, puree avocado, milk, water,
lemon juice, garlic powder, and
remaining salt and pepper.
Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over
the asparagus. Serves 2 people.
Prep time: 7 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
This is a quick and impressive sidedish to showcase asparagus during
the spring season. A flavorful and
creamy avocado hollandaise sauce
replaces a traditional (and heavy)
butter and egg yolk hollandaise.
*Note: If you dont have a grill or
grill pan, drizzle the asparagus with a
tablespoon of olive oil and broil in the oven
for 7 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Qui sont ces snowbirds qui parlent franais?

PAR M ARC BAR R I R E
Quand je mentionne
des
concitoyens du Century Village
que je viens du Qubec, d'aucuns
me rpondent Ah! Je suis all
Montral en 1967, j'ai aussi visit
Qubec. J'ai de bons souvenirs!
Pourtant, beaucoup sont toujours
tonns de savoir qu'en Amrique
du Nord, il y a un coin de pays
o l'on parle franais. Et ils sont
doublement tonns quand on
leur apprend qu'on y parle franais
depuis aussi longtemps qu'on parle
anglais Boston et qu'on a dj parl
franais sur la moiti du territoire
amricain. Ce qui explique le nombre
de villes, de rivires, de montagnes et
d'Amricains qui portent des noms
franais.
Champlain a fond Port-Royal en
Acadie en 1604 et Qubec en 1608
peu prs en mme temps que les
Anglais fondaient Jamestown en
Virginie . C'tait 12 ans avant que les

Plerins du Mayflower dbarquent
Plymouth.
Par la suite les deux peuples
ont cohabit, ont chang, se sont
combattus, se sont entraids. La
France voulait faire du commerce
alors que les Anglais voulaient
s'tablir. Leurs relations avec les
Amrindiens ont donc t fort
diffrentes. Les uns comptaient sur
les Amrindiens pour la fourrure, les
autres devaient les repousser pour
cultiver.
Beaucoup d'Amricains sont
d'origine canadienne franaise alors
que beaucoup de Canadiens franais
ont des origines amricaines. Par
exemple l'anctre de mon pouse est
Sarah Allen qui avait t enleve en
1704 l'ge de 12 ans dans son village
de Deerfield au Massachusetts avec
une centaine de personnes. Sarah a
dcid de rester au Canada et a fond
une famille avec un Canadien, la

famille Lalonde. De mme, l'anctre
de ma mre, Katerine Stevens a
t enleve en 1690 Bath dans le
nord du Maine, pour tre amene
Qubec. Elle s'est marie quelques
annes plus tard avec un dnomm
Paquette. La vie tait dure et cruelle
cette poque. Il y a eu des actes de
terrorisme semblables de la part des
Anglais .
Comme les Canadiens-franais
taient allis avec les Amrindiens on
a fait appel eux pour explorer le
Far-West . Toussain Chabonneau
accompagn de sa femme Sacagawea
et de son fils Jean-Baptiste surnomm
Pomp tait le guide de la mythique
expdition de Lewis et Clark.

et le smoke meat de Montral qui
viennent des migrs juifs de la fin

que beaucoup de schtreimel ports

L'histoire des Canadiens franais

The Ten Commandments

of Grocery Store Shopping
(we wish everyone would follow)
BY JODY LEBEL
1) Thou shalt not leave your cart just
any-old-where in the parking lot.
There are two kinds of people
in this world: those who return
carts to the cart corral and those
who leave them right next to my
car door. How many times have
you started to pull into a primo
parking spot only to slam on your
brakes when you realize theres
a cart camping in the front of it?
News flash! Carts do not find their
own way home.
2) Thou shalt not bring in your
pet dog and pretend he/she is
a service dog. You can buy those
vests and ID cards off the Internet
but youre not fooling anybody.
Pookie should be at home playing
with doggie toys, and doing doggie
things, not nervously bouncing
around in the child seat of your
cart in his/her bonnie wee plaid
coat with the matching bow, and
dropping fur all over the produce.
3) Thou shalt walk down the store
aisles like a normal person.
Do not amble along, check your
phone messages, text your sweetie,
dig in your handbag for a mint,
and block the aisle for ten minutes
while you blank-stare at the
canned goods like your body has
been taken over by an alien. Youre
not at a museum. Its pasta sauce,
not the Mona Lisa. Pick one and
move on.
to move away from the registers,

do not stop and scrutinize it like
it couldnt possibly be yours, or
youre sure the cashier didnt ring
up the 50% off on the second
candy bar, or study it like theres a
secret code hidden in the numbers.
There is nothing on that scrap of
paper that is so important in your
life that you have to stop dead in
the middle of the doorway and
hold the rest of us up.
4) Thou shalt not sneak in 25

items in the express line.
The sign says 15 items or less. It is
not a suggestion. Twelve cans of
tomato soup is not one item. And
dont even think about trying to
split the order into two piles and
paying two separate times. Dont
you dare pull out a checkbook in
this lane, forget your PIN number,
or demand a rain check for a
two-for-one sale on low sodium
canned green beans. Think about
it; if everybody ignored the 15item rule they could just take
down the express sign and make it
a regular line.
5) Thou shalt not drop ice cream
off in the bread section.
If you change your mind,
take it back where you
found it. Its not like
you have to drive down
Military Trail avoiding
the jaywalkers from
the bus stops, traverse
past the sign twirlers
that jump out
at you on
Okeechobee Boulevard, and hop

on the Turnpike. Walk down four
aisles and place it back in the
freezer. Ditto for lunch meat and
milk. Come on now, people.
6) Thou shalt respect personal
space at the register. Regardless
of how close you creep up on my
backside, or how many items you
maneuver on the belt behind my
little black divider stick like you
were playing Tetris, you will never
get rung up before me. If you
continue to breathe on me, I will
pretend to go through my pockets
looking for my debit card for an
extraordinary amount of time and
will begin to ask the cashier about
her cats. Unless, of course, youd
like to pay for my case of cat food.
In that case, you are forgiven.
7) Thou shalt treat the cashier with
the utmost respect. This means
not talking loudly on your phone
while shes ringing up your items,
or getting upset and irritable and
argumentative when she wont
accept the
expired
coupons
y o u
rummaged
out of the
bottom
of
your
tattered
makeshift coupon
envelope and pressed
flat with your sweaty
hands. If you get caught
trying to sneak in an expired
coupon that you ripped the
expiration date off of, just let
it go. Its 25 cents off of paper
towels for Petes sake. Youll
survive.
8) Thou shalt not block the
exit to study the receipt. Once
given your receipt and you begin
9) Thou shalt not use the self

checkout if youre the type
of person who has trouble
figuring out parking meters.
Embrace your limits. Do bar codes
hide from you? Can you match
the picture of a grapefruit on the
screen to the grapefruit in your
hand? Do you know how to uncrinkle paper money so it doesnt
get spit back out at you? Do you
know where the coin slot is? Can
you place the items in the bagging
area and then leave them alone and
not move them around so that the
alarm sounds and the attendant
has to scurry over to you? If you
cannot do even one of these things,
pass the self-checkout lines and
wait in the normal register line.
No one will think less of you. In
fact, we may blow kisses and throw
confetti your way.
10)Thou shalt not follow someone
for their parking space.
I dont care if its the day before a
hurricane and the store is jammed
and there is only one loaf of bread
left on the shelf and you think it
has your name on it; do not follow
behind me like a stalker at 5 miles
per hour waiting for me to vacate
my parking spot. If I see you, and
how can I not, I will open my
trunk, get on my cell phone and
start chit-chatting with my bestie
about nothing, while putting my
groceries in one can at a time with
my one free hand. I may even hold
up, and let you gawk at, my four
loaves of bread and gigantic jar
of peanut butter. And if you honk
the horn? Ill finish up, lock the
trunk, pretend Im going to get in
the driver seat, then turn around
and begin to walk back into the
store until you leave. With that
said all of this is off if you get out
of your car and help me unload my
groceries and -- heres the kicker -take the cart off my hands.
Thank you for shopping with us.
Next time dont forget to bring
your own bags. And have a nice
day.
