The
President’s
Report
By Dave Israel
Wow! You might say, what a silly
question, but we process over 1000
Title Changes in Century Village
every year and that means many
new residents have never heard of
UCO.
So what is UCO and what does it
do for the residents of Century Vil-
lage?
UCO is an acronym which ex-
pands to United Civic Organization.
UCO was organized under Florida
Statutes FS-617. The UCO Articles
of incorporation were filed with
the Florida Department of State on
May 19th, 1982. FS-617 is the general
Corporations Statute of Florida.
UCO’s principle purpose is to
“form a permanent organization
of Delegates elected by the owners
of residential condominium units
of Century Village in West Palm
Beach, Florida.”
One of the key things UCO does is
negotiate major contracts for Centu-
ry Village. How is UCO authorized
to do that? We have an agreement
Meet Commissioner Gregg Weiss
Newly elected County Commissioner no stranger to the Village
As zone leader for the Democrat-
ic Party and member of the Century
Village Democratic Club, Commis-
sioner Weiss has long had a special
connection with the community. He
frequently visits, attends meetings
and has numerous friends in the Vil-
lage. Though many of you may al-
ready be familiar with Gregg, as the
new commissioner representing the
14,000 residents in Century Village,
he appreciates the opportunity to in-
troduce himself to the readers of the
“UCO Reporter.”
Gregg Weiss was born and raised
in Southern California. After gradu-
ating from the University of Califor-
with the Associations called “The
Bilateral Agreement” which autho-
rizes UCO to negotiate the follow-
ing contracts; Ambulance, Security,
Communications Services (Cable,
INTERNET), Insurance, Landscape
maintenance – on UCO Property,
Transportation (Bus Service), In-
vestigation (Background checks on
prospective buyers and renters).
Clearly, this is major work costing
millions of dollars in aggregate.
Additionally, UCO is charged to
create and Chair the Operations
Committee - a joint committee of
UCO and W.P.R.F., Inc. The Op-
erations Committee determines
the budget of the Century Village
Recreation Facility and oversees ex-
penditures of all operational costs.
Considering both UCO contractual
costs and recreation facility costs,
UCO is responsible for the determi-
nation and administration of over
ten million dollars annually - no
small responsibility.
Additionally, UCO operates the
nia at Irvine with de-
grees in economics and
social ecology, he made
a career in the then
emerging computer in-
dustry. Gregg eventu-
ally became a business
executive overseeing
sales, marketing and
strategy for several
Fortune 500 compa-
nies. He and his wife
of 27 years, Rebecca, re-
tired while in their 40s
and decided to sail the
world on their 50-foot
boat named Kimba. Af-
ter traveling for several
years, they anchored in
the Lake Worth Lagoon
in 2004 and decided to
make West Palm Beach
their new home.
Ever since, Gregg
has been very active in
the community as a volunteer and
has served as a board member for
numerous organizations as well as
nonprofits. He has assisted dozens of
organizations over the years, raised
tens of thousands of dollars for the
West Palm Beach Police Founda-
tion and was a founding member
of Speak up for Kids. Rebecca and
Gregg have been involved in many
Democratic campaigns for candi-
dates, generously opening up their
home for candidates and campaign
workers and hosting numerous
fundraisers. Gregg serves as a citizen

gate system and the Village access
control systems which consists of
an automated telephone call-in sys-
tem, and an INTERNET access con-
trol system called “gateaccess.net”.
The technical control of the gate
systems is directly maintained by a
contract with ABDi, (Applications
By Design Incorporated) the lead-
ing gate access control company in
Florida.
UCO publishes a monthly Village
newspaper titled “The UCO Re-
porter”, a professional and highly
praised periodical in which many
local businesses seek to advertise.
UCO maintains a close liaison
with PBSO (the County Sheriff’s’ of-
fice) on all matters of Village securi-
ty. UCO also has close ties with our
District Two County Commissioner
on matters of legislative concern.
We work daily with residents of
Century Village on matters of con-
cern and help resolve the numerous
problems that arise daily.
The UCO staff includes a Prop-
trolling his neighborhood and is an
active member of Temple Israel, and
Rebecca volunteers as a foster parent
kittens for the Peggy Adams Rescue
League.
Commissioner Weiss’s District 2 pri-
orities include:
• To be a responsible steward of tax
dollars
• To promote economic development
that supports good paying jobs
• To protect, preserve and enhance
our environment and water supply
• To strive to attain affordable qual-
ity housing for all county residents
• To advocate for resources assuring
older persons have quality of life

because UCO negotiates contracts
for our Association which are FS-

ing us to have an LCAM on board.
Our LCAM performs numerous
tasks which impact appearance,
maintenance and management is-
sues across our entire campus.
Taken altogether, UCO can clear-
ly be seen to fulfill an overriding
and critical purpose which is stat-
ed in our Articles of Incorporation:
“Generally, to perform any and
all things appropriate and neces-
sary for the welfare, benefit and
collective interests of the unit
owners in Century Village.”

We held
a four-day
seminar se-
ries in December with a lot of hands
on practice on various aspects of
Condominium governance. Here is
a recap with some additional infor-
mation.
Housing for Older Persons
Seminar. Remember to revise your
Declaration of Condominium to
clarify if you want all of your oc-
cupied units to be occupied by at
least one person 55 years of age or
older. You should also insert the ex-
ceptions that will be made for wid-
ows/widowers and adult children of
deceased owners. Use an affidavit
at the time of sale so that the occu-
pancy requirement is understood
by the purchasers.
Annual meetings and elec-
tions. Remember your first notice
must go out at least 60 days before
the scheduled election date. The
notices of intent are due 40 days
Seminar Series Recap
before the election, no exceptions,
even if the date falls on a holiday.
The candidate information sheet is
to be no more than one side of one 8
½ inch by 11 inch sheet of paper and
is due 35 days prior to the annual
meeting. The second notice of the
meeting must be sent out at least 14
days prior to the meeting but may
be sent out up to 34 days prior to
the annual meeting, so if you have
a lot of people who live out of town
or out of country, don’t hold the
second notice until the last minute;
mail it early.
Holding Board meetings. Mem-
bers can record meeting. The statute
provides that unit owners may tape
record or videotape Board meetings
as well as members’ meetings. The
Division of Florida Condominiums,
Time Shares and Mobiles Homes
has also created the following rules
on this topic:
Any unit owner may tape record
or videotape meetings of the board
of administration, committee meet-
ings, or unit owner meetings, sub-
ject to the following restrictions:
The only audio and video equip-
ment and devices which unit own-
ers are authorized to utilize at any
such meeting is equipment which
does not produce distracting sound
or light emissions.
Further, if adopted in advance by
the board or unit owners as a writ-
ten rule:
• audio and video equipment shall
be assembled and placed in posi-
tion in advance of the commence-
ment of the meeting.
• anyone videotaping or recording a
meeting shall not be permitted to
move about the meeting room in
order to facilitate the recording.
• advance notice shall be given to
the board by any unit owner de-
siring to utilize any audio or video
equipment.
Water leaks and restoration
companies. We had a wonder-
ful presentation from a restoration
company about the steps to take
when actually deal with a leak. The
take away, if there is a water or oth-
er type of casualty that damages
the condominium (e.g. broken wa-
ter heater, leaking toilet, etc.) the
Association must put its insurance
carrier on notice, despite whom the
board believes is at fault, and not
try to clean the water up itself as
certain types of water contain con-
taminants and require treatment in
a specific manner by licensed pro-
fessionals.

Alzheimer’s Association
(The Brains Behind Saving Yours)
Alzheimer’s disease is the only top 10 leading cause of death in our
country without a prevention, treatment or cure. It ranks as the 6th
leading cause of death in America as well as the 6th leading cause of
death in Florida.

Currently, there are more than 5.7 million Americans living with Alz-
heimer’s disease, with someone developing it every 65 seconds. In the
state of Florida, there are more than 540,000 Floridians presently diag-
nosed. This makes our state the 2nd highest in prevalence and “ground

WE’RE IN THE MONEY!

Retirees who are collecting Social Security
retirement benefits have reason to cheer: Our Social
Security checks will be larger next year.
( RESE ARCHED BY BOBBI LEVIN )
The Social Security Administra-
tion announced that the cost-of-liv-
ing adjustment for 2019 will be 2.8
percent which is the largest increase
since benefits rose by 3.6 percent in
2012. Furthermore, although Medi-
care Part B premiums will increase,
the gain in Social Security benefits
will not be wiped out by the Part
B increase as it had been in recent
years.
By law, federal benefits increase
when the cost of living rises, as
measured by the Department of
Labor’s Consumer Price Index for
Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPI-W). The CPI-W rises
when prices increase for the things
the average consumer buys. This
means that when prices for goods
and services we purchase become
more expensive, on average, the
COLA increases monthly benefit
levels and helps you keep up with
the changing cost of living.
As a result, more than 67 million
Americans will see a 2.8 percent in-
crease in their Social Security and
SSI benefits in 2019.
As expected, the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) announced the increases in
premiums and deductibles for 2019
the day after the Social Security Ad-
ministration made the announce-
ment about the benefit increase.

for Medicare Part B will increase
in 2019 to $135.50 from $134. This

increase is modest enough that

Southeast Florida Honor Flights

Southeast Florida Honor Flight
organizes four flights each year – in
April, May, September, and Octo-
ber. Each flight takes about eighty
WWII veterans and their guard-
ians on a one-day trip of a lifetime,
departing from Palm Beach Inter-
national Airport. They visit the
U.S. Marine Memorial (Iwo Jima),
Arlington National Cemetery, are
served lunch at the Knights of
Columbus, see the World War II
Memorial, and return that same
evening. The flight costs include
chartering a commercial airliner,
motor coach transportation with
police escort through the city of
Washington, three meals, and
Honor Flight hats and t-shirts for
the day.
It’s a day that means the world
to our veterans. “Besides the day
I got married and the birth of my
children, this was one of the best
days of my life.” We hear this state-
ment often from the veterans we
honor. They are deeply touched
by the day’s experience, and many
of them never realized how much
gratitude America has for them.
Your donation to the Southeast
Florida Honor Flight is much need-
ed and will be greatly appreciated.
All funds raised make sure every
veteran flies absolutely free.

The four individuals in this

is the founder, chairman, and CEO
Executive Officer of Amazon and
currently the richest man in the
world. When Bezos discovered
that web usage was growing at
2,300 percent it inspired the idea of
an online bookstore. At age 30 he
quit his job working in finance. The
rest is history and Amazon has be-
come an integral part of our lives.
“If I’m 80 years old looking back
on my life and the one thing I have
done is make it so that there is this
gigantic entrepreneurial explosion
in space for the next generation,”
says Bezos, “I will be a happy, hap-
py man.”

Installing retro steps on buses was
thought to be a good idea. After
speaking with Jose of Transdev and
Ed Black who oversees Transporta-
tion, it was determined that this is
not a workable solution for riders
who find it a problem to board the
buses. These steps drop too low at
certain stops and scrape the ground
with no way of adjustment. As a re-
sult, research into this project has
been abandoned.
Louise Warner, interim UCO VP
awaiting Delegate Assembly ap-
proval, was welcomed by the com-
mittee. As an officer, she will attend
all meetings.
There is a new excursion trip
planned for February. Arrange-
ments have been made for a visit to
Yesteryear Village at the South Flor-
ida Fairgrounds on Thurs., Feb. 21
at a cost of $7.00 pp. There is some
walking involved and a few wheel-
chairs will be available on site. A
lunch location will be announced
later. A sign-up sheet will be avail-
able at the Clubhouse Guard desk
formation on Yesteryear Village will
be printed in the next edition of the
Reporter.
Beach excursions are a problem
because when the weather is bad,
the trip must be canceled. Rather
than schedule a trip and reserve
a bus for a trip that may not take
place, the committee will get a
sense from the people as to whether
beach trips should be eliminated for
the future.
Baseball season is coming up.
Century Village Day at the ballpark
is February 25. It will be the Mets/
Astros with a special CV price of
$26 per ticket. The next game is
March 5 with the Mets/Red Sox at
a cost of $30 and the third game is
March 20 with the Yankees/Astros

to send one bus from the clubhouse
to the ballpark for the February 25

Buyer beware! “Free” Trial Offers

(AN ALERT FROM THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION)
A chance to try something out for free? What have you got to lose?
Free trial offers can grab your
attention. They’re easy to sign up
for. And they’re, well, free – right?
Not exactly. Some free trials can
be expensive. Scammers often use
“free” trial offers, with undisclosed
or buried terms, to enroll you –
without your knowledge – in costly
membership programs.
If you’re interested in a particu-
lar product or service, trying before
you buy might seem like a no-brain-
er. But what starts as a free trial —
or for a very low cost — might end
up costing you real money.
The Federal Trade Commission,
the nation’s consumer protection
agency, wants you to know that
some companies use free trials
to sign you up for more products
— sometimes lots of products —
which can cost you lots of money as
they bill you every month until you
cancel.
Whether it’s for a teeth whitener,
vitamin or kitchen gadget, all free
trials eventually end. If you don’t
want to buy what you’ve tried, you
may need to cancel or take some
other action before the trial is up.
If you don’t, you may be agreeing to
buy more products.
Some dishonest businesses make
it tough to cancel, hiding the terms
and conditions of their offers in
teensy type, using pre-checked
sign-up boxes as the default setting
online, and putting conditions on
returns and cancellations that are
so strict it could be next to impos-
sible to stop the deliveries and the
billing.
Or, the “free trial” might come
with a small shipping and handling
fee. You think you’re only paying a
couple of dollars, but you’re really
giving over your credit card infor-
mation, resulting in much higher
charges after the trial.
Other “free” offers enroll you in
clubs or subscriptions. For example,
a company might offer you an intro-
ductory package of free books, CDs,
magazines or movies. If you sign up,
you may be agreeing to enroll in a
club that will send you more prod-
ucts and bill you until you cancel, or
to a subscription that’s automatical-
ly renewed each year.
How can you avoid the costs that
might be hiding in free trials?
• Research the company online.
See what other people are saying
about the company’s free trials —
and its service. Complaints from
other customers can tip you off to
“catches” that might come with
the trial.
• Find the terms and conditions
for the offer. That includes offers
online, on TV, in the newspaper,
or on the radio. If you can’t find
them or can’t understand exactly
what you’re agreeing to, don’t sign
up.
• Look for who’s behind the of-
fer. Just because you’re buying
something online from one com-
pany doesn’t mean the offer or
pop-up isn’t from someone else.
• Watch out for pre-checked box-
es. If you sign up for a free trial
online, look for already-checked
boxes. That checkmark may give
the company the green light to
continue the offer past the free
trial or sign you up for more prod-
ucts — only this time you have to
pay.
• Mark your calendar. Your free
trial probably has a time limit.
Once it passes without you telling
the company to cancel your “or-
der,” you may be on the hook for
more products.
• Look for info on how you can
cancel future shipments or
services. If you don’t want them,
do you have to pay? Do you have a
limited time to respond?
• Read your credit and debit
card statements. That way you’ll
know right away if you’re being
charged for something you didn’t
order.If you see charges you didn’t
agree to, contact the company di-
rectly to sort out the situation. If
that doesn’t work, call your cred-
it card company to dispute the
charge. Ask the credit card com-
pany to reverse the charge be-
cause you didn’t actively order the
additional merchandise.

20 Little Known Facts About Martin Luther King, Jr.
What can I say about Martin Lu-
ther King, Jr. that has not been said
before? We know that he was one
of history’s extraordinary orators
and powerful leaders. His endur-
ing words, timeless teachings, and
his non-violent approach for social
changes, will continue to have an
influence on me and the world, for-
ever.
For this article Instead of sharing
copies of his speeches, I decided to
share 20 little known facts. national holiday in their honor,
1. One of the most recognizable
proper names of the 20th cen-
tury wasn’t actually what was
on the birth certificate. The fu-
ture civil rights leader was born
Michael King Jr. on January 15,
1929, named after his father Mi-
chael King. When the younger
King was 5 years old, his father
decided to change both their
names after learning more
about 16th century theologian
Martin Luther, who was one of
the key figures of the Protestant
Reformation. Inspired by that
battle, Michael King soon began
referring to himself and his son
as Martin Luther King.
2. His first major role in the Civ-
il Rights Movement came in
1955, after an African American
lady – Rosa Parks – was arrested
for refusing to give up her seat
to a white man on a bus. This
sparked outrage in the African
American community and Mar-
tin helped to organize a boycott
of the city’s buses. After 381
days of protest, a court finally
ruled that such segregation laws
should no longer be recognized.
3. From the years 1957 to 1968,
Dr. King traveled over 6 mil-
lion miles and spoke over 2,500
in different protests and civil
rights events.
4. 1956, the Martin Luther King,
Jr. home was bombed, in re-

sponse to his involvement with
the Montgomery Bus Boycott
the year before. Though his
wife and first born daughter
were home at the time, no one,
thankfully, was injured.
5. Martin Luther King, Jr. is
the only American citizen,
non-president, to have a U.S.
national holiday in his honor.
There are only two other people
in American history that have a
George Washington and Chris-
topher Columbus. As such,
Martin Luther King Jr. is the
only native born United States
citizen to have a national holi-
day in his honor.
6. Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t
just focus on civil rights. In 1966,
he began a campaign against
poverty and urban inequality. A
follower of Gandhi’s non-violent
principles, King also objected
to the United States’ participa-
tion in the Vietnam War. And it
was his support of a sanitation
workers’ strike that took him to
Memphis, Tennessee, where he
was assassinated.
7. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a
Trekkie. When actress Nichelle
Nichols considered leaving Star
Trek after the show’s first sea-
son, Martin Luther King Jr. con-
vinced her to stay because she
was not only playing a black
person as a main character on
TV, but she was also playing a
character that didn’t conform to
the stereotypical black person of
the day. Rather, Uhura was por-
trayed as an intelligent member
of the crew and an equal to those
around her. Nichols wrote: “He
told me that Star Trek was one
of the only shows that he and
his wife Coretta would allow
their little children to watch.
8. When Martin Luther King, Jr.
was awarded the Nobel Peace

Prize in 1964, he was
the youngest Peace
Prize winner ever, at
the age of 35. Current-
ly, Malala Yousafzai is
the youngest winner
on record; she was
17 when she won the
prize in 2014.
9. His mother, Alber-
ta Williams King, was
also murdered. She
was killed while at-
tending church in At-
lanta in 1974 by a 23
year old man, Marcus
Wayne Chenault, who
believed “all Chris-
tians are my enemies”.
He shot and killed her while she
was playing organ at the church.
10. In the 12 years he spent as the
recognized leader of the civil
rights movement, Martin Lu-
ther King, Jr. was arrested and
jailed 30 times. Rather than
brood, King used the unsolic-
ited downtime to further his
cause. Jailed in Birmingham for
eight days in 1963, he penned a
long formal and systematic let-
ter. “Letter from Birmingham
Jail,” responding to the oppres-
sion supported by white reli-
gious leaders in the South.
11. Today Martin Luther King, Jr. is
often remembered as an amaz-
ing public speaker, but during
his first year at seminary school
he got a C in public speaking.
However, in his third and final
year, he was valedictorian with
straight A’s.
12. He was the first African Amer-
ican “Man of the Year” in TIME
Magazine’s 1963 issue. The only
other African American man
to receive the title was Barack
Obama, in 2008.
13. Martin Luther King, Jr. almost
didn’t become a minister. After
graduating from college, he still
had serious doubts about Chris-
tianity and the Bible and told his
father (who was a Baptist minis-
ter as was his grandfather} that
he didn’t want to be a minister
and instead was considering be-
coming a doctor or a lawyer. He
later decided that the Bible had
“many profound truths which
one cannot escape” and chose
to become a minister, entering
seminary at Crozer Theological
Seminary in Pennsylvania. He
graduated with his PhD at the
age of 25.
14. Martin Luther King, Jr. attempt-
ed suicide when he was 12 years
Section B
2019
old after his grandmother died
of a heart attack at their home.
He was supposed to be home
with her, but instead snuck
out to see a parade, against his
parents’ wishes. When King
returned and learned that his
grandma had passed, he went
upstairs and jumped from a sec-
ond story window.
15. Today over 900 streets in the
United States are named after
Martin Luther King, Jr., with
one such street in almost ev-
ery major city. This is not even
counting the amazing number
of buildings and schools that
carry his name.
16. Martin Luther King, Jr. had his
first experience with segrega-
tion at just six years old, when
he was told he wasn’t allowed
to play with his white friend
anymore – his friend’s father
wouldn’t allow it!
17. Martin Luther King, Jr. was al-
most assassinated in the early
1960s. Izola Ware Curry ap-
proached Martin at a book
signing for “Stride Towards
Freedom.” After receiving con-
firmation that he was indeed
Martin Luther King Jr., she ex-
claimed “I’ve been looking for
you for five years” and stabbed
Martin in the chest with a let-
ter opener. The blade pressed
against his aorta and it took
several hours of careful surgery
to remove.
18. After Martin Luther King, Jr. got
married, his friend who owned
a funeral parlor let him use it for
his wedding night, since there
were no honeymoon suites for
African-Americans.
19. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is
celebrated in Toronto, Canada
and Hiroshima Japan. In 1967,
King wrote to Japan saying he
hoped to visit and bridge the
gap between East and West with
‘good will and brotherhood’
from the US. Today, the city of
Hiroshima celebrates MLK Day
to teach their young the impor-
tance of electoral politics and
non-violent social change.
20. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s
“I Have a Dream” speech may
not have become what it did if
it wasn’t for gospel singer Ma-
halia Jackson’s last minute sug-
gestion. She was behind him
on the podium at the Lincoln
Memorial and urged him to talk
about “the dream” right before
his speech.

Some are Chosen – Some Ascend

There are so many famous Black
Americans born in January that it
would require a very large tome to
write about all of them. I have cho-
sen to write about four whose lives
have always interested me.
Muhammad Ali (born Cassius
Marcellus Clay, Jr. January 17, 1942
– 3 June 2016) was an Olympic and
World Champion boxer. Ali would
later change his name after joining
the Nation of Islam. He subsequent-
ly converted to Sunni Islam in 1975.
He was the eldest of the two sons. It
was a Louisville police officer who
changed the fate of young Clay. He
suggested Clay learn boxing. Ali
was classified 1A during the Viet-
Nam War. He refused to serve in
the United States Army. He regis-
tered as a conscientious objector.
Ali’s actions in refusing military
service and aligning himself with
the Nation of Islam made him a
lightning rod for controversy, turn-
ing the outspoken but popular for-
mer champion into one of that era’s
most recognizable and controver-
sial figures. His viewpoints wavered
from support for civil rights to out-
right support of separatism. Near
the end of 1967, Ali was stripped
of his title by the professional box-
ing commission and would not
be allowed to fight professionally
for more than three years. He was
also convicted for refusing induc-
tion into the army and sentenced
to five years in prison. Through-
out his career, Ali recorded 56 wins
of which 37 came in knockout and
5 losses. The most historic match-
es were against Liston, Joe Frazier
and George Foreman. He became
the first and only three-time lin-
eal World Heavyweight Champion.
Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson’s
disease in the early 1980s, following
which his motor functions began a
slow decline. What distinguish him
from his contemporaries were the
values that he had been upholding
all through his life. He was a believ-
er in religious freedom and racial
justice. He received the Presidential
Medal of Freedom at a White House
ceremony on November 9, 2005.
He was honored with a number of
titles including, “The Greatest”,
BY LENORE VELCOFF
“Fighter of the Year”, “Sportsman of
the Year”, “Sportsman of the Centu-
ry” and “Sports Personality of the
Century”. Muhammad Ali died on 3
June 2016, from a respiratory illness,
a condition that was complicated by
Parkinson’s Disease.
JACKIE ROBINSON was born
on January 31, 1919 in Cairo, Geor-
gia, was the youngest of five chil-
dren. Jackie’s father left the family
shortly after his birth and Jackie
never saw him again. His mother,
Millie, raised him and his three
brothers and one sister. Jackie loved
to play sports. In high school he ran
track and played football, baseball,
tennis, and basketball. He was the
quarterback of the football team
and the star player on the baseball
team. Jackie had to deal with racism
all through high school. Most of his
teammates were white and while
people would cheer him on the field
he was treated as a second-class cit-
izen off the field. Robinson began
to play professional baseball for the
Kansas City Monarchs. The Mon-
archs were part of the Negro Base-
ball League. At this time in history
black players were still not allowed
to play in Major League Baseball.
While Jackie was playing for the
Monarchs he was approached by
Branch Rickey who was the gener-
al manager of the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. Branch wanted to sign an Af-
rican-American player to help the
Dodgers win the pennant. When he
approached Robinson, Branch told
Jackie that he would face all sorts of
racism when he first went to play for
the Dodgers. Branch wanted some-
one who could take all the insults
and not fight back. At the start of
the 1947 baseball season, Robinson
was called up to join the Brooklyn
Dodgers. On April 15, 1947 he be-
came the first African-American to
play baseball in the major leagues.
Once again, Jackie faced all sorts of
racial abuse from the fans and from
other baseball players. He even
received death threats. Howev-
er, once again Jackie displayed the
courage to not fight back. Over the
next ten years, Jackie Robinson was
one of the best baseball players in
the major leagues. He had a career
batting average of .311, hit 137 home
runs, and had 197 stolen bases. He
was named to the All-Star team six
times and was the National League
MVP in 1949. In 1962 he was elect-
ed to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Robinson died of a heart attack on
October 24, 1972.
OPRAH WINFREY was born in
Kosciusko, Mississippi in 1954. Her
parents were unmarried and sep-
arated soon after her conception.
Oprah had a difficult childhood liv-
ing in great poverty and often had
to dress in potato sacks for which
she was mocked at school. She was
also sexually abused at an early age.
At the age of 14 she went to live with
her father. Oprah says although he
was strict she became disobedient
and disruptive during her teen-
age years. After working her way
through college, she became inter-
ested in journalism and media and
got her first job as a news anchor for
a local TV station. Her emotional
style did not fit the news program,
so she was transferred to an ailing
daytime chat program. After Oprah
took over, the daily chat show took
off, which later led to her own pro-
gram – The Oprah Winfrey Show.
The Oprah Winfrey show has prov-
en to be one of the most successful
and highly watched TV shows of
all time. It has broken many social
and cultural barriers such as gay
and lesbian issues. Oprah has also
remained a powerful role model for
women, and black American wom-
en in particular. She is credited with
promoting an intimate confession-
al form of media communication,
which has been imitated across the
globe. In recent years, the Oprah
Winfrey show has focused on issues
of self-improvement, spirituality,
and self-help. Diet has also been a
big issue with Oprah since she suc-
cessfully lost a lot of weight. Her
subsequent diet book sold millions
of copies. Her range of media en-
terprises have made Oprah one of
the richest self-made women. The
Forbes’ international rich list has
listed Winfrey as the world’s only
black billionaire from 2004 to 2006
and as the first black woman bil-
lionaire in world history. In 2014
Winfrey had a net worth of more
than 2.9 billion dollars.
MICHELLE OBAMA was born
on January 17, 1964, in Chicago, Il-
linois. Born as Michelle LaVaughn
Robinson, she grew up in a mid-
dle-class family and had a conven-
tional upbringing. She learned the
values of hard work and persever-
ance from her father who, despite
being diagnosed with multiple scle-
rosis at a young age, never let the
disease overcome his ambitions.
Her homemaker mother instilled
in her a reverence for family val-
ues. She went to Princeton Univer-
sity where she majored in sociolo-
gy and African-American studies.
She graduated cum laude with a
Bachelor of Arts in 1985. Following
her graduation she attended Har-
vard Law School where she earned
her Juris Doctor (JD) in 1988. She
worked for the Harvard Legal Aid
Bureau assisting low-income ten-
ants with housing cases. She was
a successful lawyer when she met
and married another lawyer, Barack
Obama, and was soon juggling the
roles of wife and mother along with
being a professional. She played a
major role in her husband’s presi-
dential campaigns. Her responsi-
bilities increased manifold after be-
coming the First Lady. In this role
she focused on issues relating to
women’s empowerment, children’s
health and education, an organic
food movement, and national ser-
vice. She spent much time cham-
pioning young people and working
class communities, especially girls,
during her family’s two terms in
the White House. Since leaving the
White House, her realness is what
fuels her popularity. It’s the humil-
ity and humbleness that so many
believe is missing from most politi-
cians and celebrities.
One chosen, two ascended, and
one perhaps about to, these four
individuals from different back-
grounds have all achieved great-
ness. As is stated in our Pledge, “one
nation... with liberty and justice for
all” should be words our great na-
tion embraces and lives by.

LO C A L D I N I N G
2710 Okeechobee Blvd
West Palm Beach, FL
615-0200

BY LENORE VELCOFF

After being closed for approxi-
mately six months for renovations,
this long time Italian restaurant
reopened the beginning of Novem-
ber. My companions and I decided
to see if, as promised, it was “new
and better than ever.”
We started our meal with Cala-
mari Frittti O Alla Griglia which is
baby calamari fried and served with
white cannellini beans. It was more
than enough as an appetizer for
four. Of course, we all had a glass of
good Italian wine. They also have
Escargot Piemontese, Eggplant Rol-
latini, Fresh Mussels, Prosciutto
E Melone,Mozzarella Caprese and
Roasted Red Peppers as appetizers.
Additionally, they have three soups
and three salads to start your meal.
They are all ala carte.
For entrees they have a choice of
eight Pasta dishes, six Polli - Poul-
try, seven Manzo - Beef & Vitel-
lo - Veal and five Pesci - Fish and
Shellfish. Two of my companions
opted for Veal Parmigiana - bread-
ed veal cutlet topped with marina-
ra and melted mozzarella, served
with penne. Companion three
had Chicken Francese - breast of
chicken, dipped in egg batter, sau-
teed with white wine and lemon,
served over capellini. I chose one
of the specials – flounder which was
dipped in egg batter, sauteed with
white wine and lemon. My entrée
came with mixed vegetables.
As usual, we were too full for
dessert but they do have Tiramisu,
Cannoli, Crème Caramel, Spumoni
Ice Cream and Tartufo Gelato.
The food was all delicious but a
little pricey. They do not have ear-
ly birds or complete dinners. But,
try it for yourself and see what you
think.

The Year We Got Too Much Snow
I have a photo of a big snowfall
in 1947. It shows our dad and me
digging “a path to nowhere” in our
backyard in Dedham, Massachu-
setts. The snow is up to Dad’s belt.
The important snow shoveling
(front and back doors, walks and
driveway) must have been done,
because the path we were digging
went way out from the house to
where we burned rubbish—an un-
necessary path, really, but a good
photo-op.
That was the biggest single snow-
storm I had ever seen until 1978,
when I lived in Stoughton, MA with
my own family, and we got 41 inches
and frigid temperatures with hurri-
cane-force winds that created drifts
that reached the roofs of some
buildings.
I made it home from work around
4:00 p.m. in the nick of time. There
were two ways home by car from the
train station, one by main roads and
one by back roads. Luckily, I chose
to take the lesser-plowed back roads
for I found out later that many com-
muters had to abandon their cars
on the main roads. They walked to
where they could find shelter—a
friend’s home, the home of a com-
plete stranger, a gas station, the lo-
cal mall, or a school.
The roads became packed with
cars with snow covering the car

Bob Cousy – First Great Ball Handler
In 1950 the first great ball han-
dler in NBA history burst upon the
scene after a great career at Holy
Cross. He turned the Boston Celtics
from a loser in the young basketball
league into the greatest team of the
mid 50s and early 60s. Leading the
league in assists for eight consecu-
tive years and compiling a 13-year
scoring average of 18.5 points a year,
he along with stars such as Tommy
Heinsohn, Ed McCauley, Bill Shar-
man and one of the greatest defen-
sive centers of all time, Bill Russell,
dominated the game.
In the very early 1950s, it was
George Mikan, who was the first
NBA superstar. He led the great
Minneapolis Lakers (yup, that is
where they played before going
Hollywood) along with players
like Jim Pollard, Vern Mikkelsen,
Whitey Skoog and Slater Martin
to early NBA dominance. I do not
know if Mikan could have held his
own against the much faster big
men who entered the league later
as the highly skilled black athletes
who transformed basketball from
the relatively slow game into the
high-powered, gymnastic game
that it is today.
On the other hand, Cousy, who
entered the league in its slow-
er-pace days, would have fit right
into the whirlwind offensive show
that it is today. His lightning pass-
es and behind-the-back charges

at the basket were previously only
seen in Harlem Globetrotter games.
But the Trotters only played inept
teams like the Washington Gener-
als. Sweet Georgia Brown was fun.
Bob Cousy, along with Bill Shar-
man, gave the Celtics one of the
greatest backcourt combinations
in NBA history. Sharman averaged
17.8 points over his career in the
NBA. He had an amazing 88.3 free
throw percentage. He also played
for five years as an infielder in the
Brooklyn Dodger minor league sys-
tem, and was a good player at the
minor league level. He did not make
it at the major league level, which
was just fine because he found
greatness playing hoops with the
greatest basketball team of that era.
He died at the age of 87.
Cousy was the greatest dribbler
ever, and could eat up seconds off
the clock while the Celtics put on
their famous “freeze.” Of course the
24-second clock did away with that.
Back then, freezes and full-court
presses kept the scores down, and
the Celtics were the best at doing
them. Back then, scoring 100 points
was a notable achievement, while
failing to do so today is the excep-
tion.
The great Bob Cousy celebrated
his 90th birthday in August. Belat-
ed Happy Birthday greetings, Cooz!

Around the Bases with
Irwin Cohen
Seventy years ago in 1948, many
were mourning the death of the
greatest baseball player ever and
biggest sports character of all-time.
Throat cancer claimed Babe Ruth at
the age of 53.
Remembered as a tremendous
hitter, The Babe was also a great
pitcher who was on his way to a
Hall of Fame career as a left handed
pitcher. His major league career re-
cord as a pitcher was 94 wins and 46
losses, with a low 2.28 earned run
average. He sparkled in the World
Series as he won all three games he
pitched in and allowed less than a
run per game as his ERA was a low
0.87. Ruth pitched 29 consecutive
scoreless innings in the World Se-
ries which was a record for 42 years.
His career 714 home runs breaks
down this way: 692 were as an out-
fielder, 14 as a pitcher, seven as a first
baseman and one as a pinch-hitter.
It took Hank Aaron 12,364 career
at-bats to accumulate his 755 career
home runs while The Babe did hit
his 714 in only 8,399 at-bats, 3,965
less at-bats than Aaron had. That’s
about seven extra years of at-bats
for Aaron.
If you add The Babe’s bases on
balls (the amount
of times pitchers
walked him) to his
career hits, his on-
base percentage
would be a sizzling
.474, which means,
of course, that Ruth
would be on base
474 times for every
thousand at-bats.
Aaron’s on-base
percentage figures
to .374, a hundred
less than Ruth per
thousand.
Aaron also had
the advantage of
hitting 22 of his
home runs as a des-
ignated hitter while
during The Babe’s
time the DH didn’t
exist. Ruth could have hung on an
extra season or two if he didn’t have
to play the field and rest up between
at-bats. It’s also important to note
that Aaron, a great complete ball-
player, had a good .305 career bat-
ting average, while Ruth’s was 37
points higher at .342.
Now let’s take a look at Roger
Maris’ 61 home runs in 1961 com-
pared to Ruth’s 60 (the record until
‘61) in 1927. Maris had 590 at-bats
in 1961, 50 more than the 540 Ruth
had in 1927. Pitchers walked Maris
94 times in 1961, 44 less than the
138 Ruth recorded in ‘27. The Babe
batted .356 in 1927 while Maris had
a not so impressive batting average
of .269 in 1961.
I was lucky enough to be on the
baseball beat in the 1970s when
many of Babe Ruth’s former team-
mates and former big league players
were still alive. Ruth’s former team-
mate, pitcher Waite Hoyt who went
on to be a long time radio play-by-
play man, pretty much summed up
what I gleaned from others. “We
players never ceased being fasci-
nated by the man, “ Hoyt recalled
with a big grin. “He was simple,
straightforward, yet so complex and
unfathomable. We simply could not
characterize him. He partied hard
and he played hard. His popularity
was a phenomenon of the American
scene.”
George Herman “Babe” Ruth was
also a great family man. He had two
daughters. One was adopted and
one was from his wife Clair’s pre-
vious marriage. All agreed that he
was in a league of his own as a dad.
Not many know that Babe Ruth was
also a great cook.
“He always experimented with
preparing new dishes and was won-
derfully organized, “ Mrs. Ruth re-
lated in a Sport magazine article in
1949. “He carefully planned meals
and when he was through, he rolled
up his sleeves and scrubbed every-
thing with scouring powder. He
always left the kitchen in wonder-
ful condition. He could carve meat
like nobody else and kept poultry
shears in perfect condition. He had
a jovial, lordly air as he stood at the
head of the table, carving meat as
easily as cutting paper.”
As his illness progressed his voice
grew hoarse and his famous vora-
cious appetite deserted him. “The
night before he died,” Mrs. Ruth

Remembering
Babe
Ruth
recalled, he kissed me several times
and said, ‘Don’t come back tomor-
row because I won’t be here.’”
The next evening, Babe swung
his thin legs over the side of the
bed and started walking across the
room. Doctors and nurses caught
him and ushered him back into
bed. They asked him where he was
going. The Babe answered, “I’m go-
ing over the valley.” Those were the
last words the great Babe Ruth ever
said in this world as he was tagged
out of this life less than 90 minutes
later.
Someone who put so many smiles
on so many faces during the De-
pression era with his booming per-
sonality and financial generosity
and years of visiting sick children
has got to have a reserved seat in a
special place.

Why Do We Sing The National Anthem At Sporting Events?
For those of us that follow pro-
fessional sports, in particular foot-
ball, we are aware of the controver-
sy whether football players should
kneel during the playing of the Na-
tional Anthem as a protest against
social inequality. The First Amend-
ment to our Constitution guaran-
tees this. However, many Ameri-
cans have voiced their opposition to
using a sporting event as a forum
for expressing a political position.
This ultimately begs the question-
why do we sing the National An-
them at sporting events in the first
place?
The first documented perfor-
mance of the Star Spangled Ban-
ner at a sporting event was before
an 1862 baseball game in Brooklyn.
The Star Spangled Banner:
BY STEW RICHL AND
The anthem as game day ritual be-
came formalized in the national
consciousness during Game 1 of the
1918 World Series between the Red
Sox and Cubs at Chicago’s Comiskey
Park. During the seventh-inning
stretch of the first game the band
began to play the Star Spangled
Banner (it was not the official na-
tional anthem at the time). Players
turned to face the centerfield flag-
pole, and the fans who were already
on their feet, began to sing along.
By the end, nearly the entire stadi-
um was singing, and the song ended
to a chorus of thunderous applause.
These were the days before the fan-
cy sound systems and live music
was a luxury that incurred the cost
of hiring a military band.
At the time, World War I was
nearing an end. The United States
had lost more than 100,00 soldiers
in the 17 months since entering
the war. Four days earlier, there
had been a bombing at a Federal
building in Chicago that killed four
people. Attendance for the open-
er was low and public morale was
lower, while a pitcher’s dual, ulti-
mately won by Boston’s Babe Ruth,
did little to stoke passions in the
stands. However, the playing of the
Continued on Page B15
anthem that day did stir up a dis-
play of comradery and patriotism.
The New York Times recorded this
event, the reporter wrote, “Red Sox
third baseman Fred Thomas, play-
ing the in the game while on fur-
lough from the US Navy, stood at
attention toward the flag atop the
pole in right field. Fans began to
take their hats off and look toward
the flag, then the song was taken
up by a few, then others joined and
when the final notes came, a great
volume of melody rolled across the
field. and a great ground swell of
patriotism seemed to energize the
fans and they all joined in singing
the anthem.”Harry Frazee, the own-
er of the Red Sox, subsequently be-
gan each game of the series by hav-
ing the band play the song after that
display.
The song was officially adopted
as the anthem when a congressio-
nal resolution was adopted in 1931.
The owners of professional baseball
teams realized how the effect of the
anthem had on their fans that they
adopted the policy of playing the
anthem but only on special occa-
sions such as opening day, national
holidays and World Series games.
Mark Clague, an associate pro-
fessor of musicology at the Univer-
sity of Michigan (who is one of the
nation’s foremost experts on the
Star Spangled Banner, noted, “Pro-
fessional sports needed to define
themselves as patriotic in order to
be seen as as part of the war effort
on the home front and center for
morale rather than as an expend-
able entertainment which is how
they were initially.”
Clague stated that with the build-
ing of new stadiums and the devel-
opment of technology that allowed
the playing of recorded music com-
bined with a ground swell of patri-
otism during World War Two has
given the anthem an almost con-
tinuous place in baseball ever since.
Football also adopted this policy
when NFL commissioner Elmer
Layden in 1945 called for a league
wide adoption of the anthem say-
ing, “ The national anthem should
be as much a part of every game as
the kick-off. We must not drop it
simply because the war is over. We
should never forget what it stands
for.” Clague commented some
what cynically, “When the World
War Two happened, professional
sports had really figured out that
patriotism was good for their busi-

BY STEW RICHL AND
This is the time of the year when
nostalgia becomes a sort of reality.
The year is coming to an end and
how many of us ask the question,
“Where did the year go?” “Where
did all the yesterdays go?
This is the time of year where many
of us “older folks” who are at the
head of the family line indulge our-
selves with a sentimental twist of
the head and just resurrect some
of those great memories Looking
back at my life’s voyage, I would
love to say that it was a golden trip
but it was sort of a roller coaster ride
at times. Yet it wasn’t a bad thing
when you place it in the context of
growing up. To paraphrase Ogden
Nash,
When I remember bygone days
I think how evening follows morn,
I will remember good friends
Right to the very end.
It was December 7th, a Sunday,
and the “guys” referring to the sev-
en of us that lived and grew up on
the “block” were attending Ted-
dy’s birthday party. I remember
the day so clearly. We were eating
great Greek food and eating freshly
picked tomatoes from the garden. I
don’t remember who heard the yell-
ing and screaming first, but we all
rushed outside to find out what was
going on. We were told the “Japs”
bombed Pearl Harbor, we were at
war!.
PROTECT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY ACCOUNT. DO NOT TRUST CALLS THAT
APPEAR TO BE COMING FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
SEEKING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO INCREASE YOUR BENEFITS.
An attorney with the Feder-
al Trade Commission Division of
Consumer Affairs warns seniors:
• If you get a call that looks like it’s
from the Social Security Admin-
istration, THINK TWICE. Scam-
mers are “spoofing” SSA’s 1-800
customer service number to try
to get your personal information.
• Spoofing means that scammers
None of the guys knew who the
Japs were, let alone the fact that we
were at war. The “block” I am re-
ferring to was our turf. Not in the
context that “turf ” is used today,
but as a street or block in which we
lived. The block was a fixed society.
Once you moved in you really nev-
er left. This was our turf. We had
carved our names into trees and
gouged them into the soft tar cover-
ing the street.
We were the 50th street boys.
There was the same dynamic going
on in 51st and 52nd street. We all
knew each other because we attend-
ed PS 121 which was located on 53rd
street. We were proud of our turf
and every so often we challenged
or were challenged by the “boys”
from around the corner to a “mon-
ey” game of stickball. Each player
put up 5 cents, you brought your
own broomstick ( bat) and a red
Spalding a tennis ball without the
fur) to play with. All games were
played on our turf because adjacent
to 50th street was a dead end street
and auto traffic was non-existent. I
am proud to say that we won most
of these games and spent our hard
earned winnings on a Nehi Orange
soda.
One daily ritual that all of the
guys partook in when walking to
PS121 was stopping at Weisel’s
candy store. We all had 3 cents to
spend on candy. Mr. Weisel had a
large jar full of candy for this pur-

pose. We would put down our 3 cent
payment and then shove our greedy
fingers into the jar and grab as
much candy we could and pull our
hand out. Kids throughout time
always thought they were smarter
than adults. Well Mr. Weisel was
one step ahead of us. With our
hand full of candy we began to pull
our hand out of the jar. It was then
we realized how cleaver Mr. Weis-
el was. In order to get your hand
out of the jar, you had to release the
candy in order to pull your hand
out. What you were left with was
just a few crumbs. It wasn’t until
years later, when I was watching a
nature show on TV where they ex-
plained how they caught monkeys,
by placing a banana in a jar that
had a an opening just large enough
for the monkey to put his hand in
to grab the banana. The monkey’s
greed was so great that it would
not release the fruit to be able to
pull his hand out and as a result he
wound up in a zoo. Now, after so
many years later, I can understand
why Mr. Weisel had that enigmat-
ic smile on his face. He always won
the candy game.
There are two other memories I
want to touch on. 80 years ago a new
kid moved onto the block. Being a
wise guy, I challenged him to a foot
race. He beat me. We shook hands
and have been close friends lo these
80 years. This was my friend Nick,
my brother, my confident and bud-
dy.
My father was an avid garden-
er. There is no greater gift a seri-
ous gardener could receive is fresh
manure. When the Ringling Cir-
cus came to New York, they gave
away the animal manure to who
ever showed up at the back door of
Madison Square Garden. They even
provided red plastic bags to cart
the manure away. My father and
I would go there every year with a
shovel and extra bags to claim our

prize. There were always dozens of
us waiting to get out share of the
fertilizer. The door opened and
we all ran to be first on line. It was
like a Keystone comedy with ev-
eryone pushing and shoving to get
their share. The most prized was
the elephant manure. Each piece
was the size of a basketball. I would
jump into the garbage bin with my
shovel and begin to dump the ani-
mal dung into the plastic bag that
my father held open. When it was
full he would race to the car, put the
bag in the trunk and come back for
another load. While he was gone,
people were yelling at me to shovel
some into their bags. I had to work
fast. In my haste I would shovel the
manure onto people’s clothes and
shoes. They did not care as long as
they got a bag full of this choice fer-
tilizer. One year, the New York Post
came to watch the spectacle. I still
have the picture of me shoveling the
manure into the bag that my father
was holding. The picture accompa-
nied the article.
As a kid you will miss nothing for
a long time to come. But one day
there will come a time, for whatev-
er reason, you will look back at and
wonder how you ever got back from
there to where you are now. When
you look back the physical distance
will mean nothing, but the emo-
tional distance and the passing
of time will rip through you like a
“hawk and handsaw.”
Yes, the years slip away and are
accumulated in our “grey cells.”
There are so many other stories
to tell. However, the editors of the
Reporter instructed me to keep it
short, so I complied.
If any readers have memories to
share, write them down and send
them to the Reporter (ucoreport-

joy your memories.

ness and it protected them against
this question as being defined as a
non-essential occupation.”
As time passed, playing and sing-
ing “The Star Spangled Banner” be-
came as routine as Cracker Jacks at
ballgames and after many years pa-
triotism began to fade.
By the middle of the 1950s, during
the post-world-war boom, those
attending sports events were less
erect, less attentive and less re-
spectful as the anthem was played.
In 1954, Ferris reports, the general
manager of the Baltimore Orioles,
Arthur Ellers, a World War I veter-
an complained that about the fact
that fans went on talking, laughing
and moving around as the anthem
was played. “To me, Ellers said, “it’s
very distasteful.”
Kyle Koster, wrote in The Big Lead
in May, “take a look around notice
how many people are locked into
their phones, sipping their beer
or worse during the playing of the
anthem, it’s impossible to know
someone’s inner thoughts, but the
outward actions suggest some one
counting the seconds until they can
yell, “play ball,” instead of basking
in freedoms of the First Amend-
ment.”
Let’s look at reality here. Playing
the national anthem before a sports
event is a grand old tradition. But
for many fans, so is dissing the song.
My conclusion about this, based on
the research for this article, that

with little more than mild enthusiasm.
A few weeks ago during the
Thanksgiving pro-football games,
the anthem was sung by a retired

on his trumpet and an outstanding
performance was provided a choral

that we all deserve. Lastly, If any

Atlantic Broadband Update
The underground construction
component of the Atlantic Broad-
band installation has substantially
ended. You may still see some activi-
ty in the Village, but that would only
be minor cleanups at a few locations.
Have patience and look forward to
getting our new cable/internet sys-
tem. AB hopes to install everyone
in the Village within a time period
of around 100 days. There is a lot of
coordination and planning required.
They are doing their best to make
this a smooth transition. Questions
are always welcome, but please do
not give any AB employee a hard
time either before the install, during
the install, or after the completion.
Once the installation is completed,
our Village will have an on-site AB
store where you can get your prob-
lems solved, change your equipment,
or upgrade/down grade your service.
The sign-up list is still being
tweaked and will be available soon.
Please see the AB website at www.
atlanticbb.com/select-communities/
century-village for the schedule. You
may also visit Dave’s blog at www.
village-blog-and-chat.blogspot.com
where he will publish the list as soon
as it is ready. All sign-ups will take
place during the month of January
and installations will begin in the
middle of February and run through
the end of May. AB will install section
by section and building by building.
Your building may be first or it may
be last. You will receive a post card
BY J O DY LE B E L
reminding you of your sign-up date.
Please bring that card with you.
Sign-ups will take place at Anshei
Shalom, which is located just outside
the Village property in the Hastings
area. Each building in the Village
will be given a 3-day window to sign
up and the sign-up times will be ei-
ther 8am-noon, or 1pm to 5pm. Once
at the sign-up location you can either
use the self-serve tablets that will be
provided, use their direct phone con-
nection to an AB call center, or get
assistance from an AB representative.
AB expects to be able to handle 200-
250 persons each day. Don’t worry if
you miss your window, you can sign
up using the website or contact the
call center with the phone number
that will be provided on your post
card. Snowbirds can sign up on the
website or call the number that will
be provided on the card. You will be
given an install date and time when
you sign up for services. You can se-
lect which package is best for you on
the sign-up date and each package
will be explained to you. AB staff will
be available to answer your questions
and assist you in choosing the best
deal for your personal use.
DO NOT TURN IN YOUR COM-
CAST BOX until you are up and
running with AB. More informa-
tion on how-to and where-to will be
published in the UCO Reporter with
ample time for you to get this accom-
plished. There will be designated
spots in the Village for you to take

your box for a small fee, or you may
call Comcast and ask for a free ship-
ping box to be delivered to your door
which you will then mail back your-
self, or you may take the box direct-
ly to the UPS located at 721 Village
Boulevard where they will package it
for you and give you a receipt. If you
want a receipt, the UPS store would
be your choice. More information
will be forthcoming. Don’t panic.
Snowbirds have a different situ-
ation. Once AB is up and running
and our Comcast contract expires
in June of 2019, Comcast will begin
charging for any unreturned boxes.
In addition, those wishing to wait
until they return in the fall to make
the decision whether to change over
to AB or to keep Comcast as their
provider need to be aware that as
the contract rate will no longer exist
Comcast will raise your monthly fees
to a normal consumer level and also
may require you to sign on for an-
other year. Before you leave for the
spring/summer have a plan in place
so you don’t get swept up in the an-
ticipated June deadline complication.
Perhaps a trusted neighbor, a nearby
family member, or a member of your
condo board would be willing to let
the installers in and then return the
box for you. You will need to work
that out.
The officers in each building are
encouraged to post notices on their
bulletin boards, assist residents who
may need help, and formulate a plan

to make sure that the installers can
access each unit on the set installa-
tion day(s). The installers may have
to access your attic spaces, so be pre-
pared to allow that. If your attic space
is located in a particular unit, be sure
the unit owner is aware that access is
a must.
Unit owners must contact AB and
Comcast to facilitate a smooth turn-
over. Renters and occupants may
come in and chose which cable/inter-
net service they prefer, but they will
need to coordinate with the owners
as to how the box will be returned.
Your new cable and/or internet ser-
vice will be placed in the same spot
it currently occupies. In other words,
if you want to move your TV across
the room, there will be a charge and
you must let the AB know when you
sign up so they can appropriate the
correct time for your unit.
Those folks that have burglar in-
trusion alarms that work with your
Comcast subscription will need to
make a choice. Call Comcast and see
if there is a contract with respect to
length of service, if there is a penalty
to break said contract, and then de-
cide what is best for you. Remember,
if you keep Comcast as your cable
and/or internet provider for any rea-
son, your rate will change in June and
it will be higher as you no longer will
be under the group system. Consider
all of your options and make the best
choice for your situation.

Nutrition and Health
Nutrition Q&A
BY JE AN I E W. F R I E D M AN, M S R D LD / N
Nutrition can be confusing, with
advice that comes pouring out from
the radio, television, or internet.
Even our own close circle of friends
may be the source of contradicting
information.
This article looks at some com-
mon questions about nutrition:
Is organic food healthier? Is nat-
ural the same as organic?
Foods labeled organic must be
grown or raised according to a set or
strict standards (which vary world-
wide) that usually exclude the use
of chemical pesticides or fertiliz-
ers, artificial ingredients, and in the
case of livestock, the use of antibi-
otics and growth hormones are not
allowed. The U.S Department of
Agriculture (USDA) requires label-
ling on all organic products. Prod-
ucts may be labeled indicating what
percentage of the item is organic.
“Natural” is not the same as “or-
ganic”. Generally, “natural” means
the food item does not contain ar-
tificial preservatives, flavors, or
colors. It does not follow the same
rigorous methods of farming that
The
Reader’s
Corner

VELCOFF
organic foods adhere to.
Which diet is the best?
The healthiest way to eat is by
following a plan that focuses on
lean protein (either plant or animal
sources), fiber, fruits, lots of vegeta-
bles, and is low in processed foods
and added sugars. A diet that is
too restrictive may be difficult for
someone to follow and stick with.
If too restrictive, there is the risk
of missing important nutrients. In
general, moderation is a good rule
to follow. In the case of health or
medical issues, one would need to
follow the guidelines of his or her
own doctor.
Are pasta and rice bad to eat?
Carbs are not inherently evil;
lurking in the shadows attempting
to trap us or do us harm. Carbs can
be enjoyed as a part of a healthy
diet. The key lies in what kind of
carb and what portion size. Portion
sizes make quite a difference. One
serving of pasta or rice is a half-cup
according to the USDA; about half
the size of your fist.

and whole wheat pastas have good
amounts of fiber and nutrients.
There is huge difference between
healthy carbs like those and un-
healthy carbs like cookies and cake,
which give you practically zero in
the nutrient department.
Is snacking a bad habit?

“Once Upon a Time – a fairy tale run amok”
The Act 2 Repertory Theater group,
a well-established and respected act-
ing/singing group made up of more
than 40 Century Village senior citi-
zens, treated their audience to a com-
edy/musical based on the tradition-
al Cinderella fairy tale whereby she
was treated poorly by her stepmoth-
er and stepsisters and wanted to go
the ball and meet the prince, played
by Sheldon Notgarnie. However, this
piece used a mixture of characters
and themes from other well-known
children’s stories and had twists that
were not expected. We were treated
to interesting switcheroos like Red
Riding Hood’s wolf coming into Cin-
derella’s garden, the glass slippers be-
ing delivered by the Wizard of Oz’s
Glinda the Good Witch, and spells
being cast on the wrong people.
The play was performed on the eve-
ning of December 16th in the Theater
where the seats quickly filled. I must
say this group outdid themselves
with the costumes, some of which
were stunning. My favorite scene was
when the Wolf tried to charm Cin-
derella, played by Maureen Debig-
are, and told her (through the back-
ground song) that she “shouldn’t be
walking in these spooky old woods
T H E AT E R R E V I E W

BY BOBBI LEVIN
alone”. I also thoroughly enjoyed the
dancers, choreographed by Nata-
lia Bragarnik, in the ballroom scene
where they weaved their colorful way
around the royal dance floor. There
were even a couple of court jesters.
The stepsisters took turns trying to
dance with the prince and it was a
hoot. Another funny scene was when
Rapunzel, Snow White, and Sleeping
Beauty tried to sabotage each oth-
er before the ball. There was much
laughter when the prince tried the
glass slipper on maidens in the audi-
ence, and then one ‘woman’ jumped
onstage to beseech the prince to give
her a chance.
This show was produced and di-
rected by John Gragg (who is also
the technical coordinator) and Kitty
Gragg, who not only directed this
production, but also wrote the script.
John and Kitty, who often favor
all-music presentations, have been
instrumental in presenting 14 shows,
generally twice a year, for Century
Village. Musical director Steve War-
shawer handled the complicated list
of songs, entrance music, and sound
effects.
For the most part the actors used
head-mics, which can be tricky, but
allowed them to move freely
about the stage. The back-
drops and props were suf-
ficient to get the feel of the
scene and were changed in
each act. You can tell that
many of Act 2’s members
have a musical and/or show
background. The skill level
of these folks heightens the
scope and range of the pro-
ductions. Putting on a show
like this takes many hours of
rehearsal and coordination
between actors and stage
crew. Hedy Wilder, Assistant
Director, made sure the actors
were in place and on time. Joe
Finello and Gordon Debig-
are tackled the curtains and
mics, which required timing
and attention. Darlene Pis-
citelli and Pat Prima paged
the curtain and queued the
actors. Norman Ehrenzweig
was in charge of props and
set changes. Kenroy Prima cation/technical coordinators.
assisted at the door. In addition to All in all this show was a great suc-
these folks, this show required addi- cess. What kind of quality produc-
tional stage crew, dressers, black fair- tion is coming for us this spring from
ies who ran around doing chores and this group? We’ll just have to wait
holding props, and several communi- and see.

Talent in Century Village

BY ERWIN PROT TER
The number of talented perform-
ers who call Century Village their
home is amazing.
Many of them participate in the
wonderful productions mounted by
the Act II Repertory Theatre and
the Actor’s Studio. Both of these
theatrical groups welcome new
members who may wish to join. In
addition, there is another venue in
the Village that showcases talented
residents who may or may not be-
long to either of these groups.
For the last two years, a number
of these people have thrilled audi-
ences at THE NIGHTCLUB in
a program called SPOT-
LIGHT!
In 2019, THE NIGHTCLUB will
take over the Clubhouse Party
Room on January 29, February 26,
March 26, April 30, and May 28 be-
tween 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. There will
be music of every genre for dancing
throughout the evening.
In the past, the SPOTLIGHT
has fallen on a flamenco dancer, a
jazz singer, a magician, a hula hoop
artiste, a concert pianist, and a
number of comedians and imper-
sonators. We have introduced ex-
citing guitarists, ballroom dancers,
and an award winning storyteller.
If you would like to perform in
THE SPOTLIGHT, please call Er-

What It’s Like to be a Collegiate Athlete

Why your success is all in your head
The sharp edge of a Wisconsin win-
ter gust shredded my lungs. A knot
in my calves trembled, and my knees
knocked into each other as I crossed
the rubber timing pad. I heaved a gi-
ant breath, trying to vacuum as much
sweet, frigid oxygen as possible into
my deflated lungs. The National Col-
legiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
Division 3 Cross Country Champion-
ship race was over. The race marked
the finish of my first collegiate
cross-country season as a runner for
Emory University.
My freshman year blossomed into
a victory starkly contrasting with the
prophecy I envisioned in my mind’s
eye over the summer. At the end of
July, I was injured and distressed,
rushing to physical therapy appoint-
ments while the mileage sticker in my
running log resembled a spiky black
zero. In mid-August, with a week to
go before I left for Emory, I was still
injured and panicking. How could I
recover by the end of cross-country
season in November? I was almost
entirely convinced that I should “red-
shirt” my upcoming season, meaning
that I would forgo my eligibility to
compete.
Miraculously, a mere two days af-
ter I had silently decided to redshirt,
BY ZOË FRIEDMAN
I recovered from my injury thanks to
some extremely aggressive therapy.
Now fully healthy, I hurtled headfirst
into collegiate training.
Practice was just what I expected,
and I loved every minute. Each morn-
ing, I rose before the sun, stumbled
to pack my duffel in the dark, and
then rushed to the soccer fields to
run some grueling thousand-meter
repeats. In the afternoon, after a day
of classes, I was back at the gym for a
distance run, strength training, and
sometimes aqua jogging (running
with a flotation belt in the swimming
pool).
The coolest thing about collegiate
running is my access to top-notch fa-
cilities and resources that can further
my training. Emory’s fitness center
is a dream come true – a three story
building packed with every cardio or
weight machine you could ever want.
My team even rents out a set of vans,
which we use to drive to Atlanta’s
Kennesaw Mountain or the Chatta-
hoochee River for long runs every
Sunday. And the team credit card
doesn’t hurt either. As a chef, I love
free salads and smoothies after races
just as much as the next guy.
The close-knit relationship I have
with my team is what differentiates
high school from collegiate running.
From the very first day of practice, I
felt a part of a family. Unlike at my
high school, every member on my
team genuinely wants each other to
perform well. We’re all rooting for
each other.
Feeding off my team’s uplifting
spirit, I couldn’t wait to run each day.
Unfortunately, in mid-September, I
had to wait five weeks to run again.
You guessed it – I was injured. This
time, I tripped and hit my knee on a
rock. Undeterred by this unexpected
accident, my mental fire was burning
as fiercely as ever.
Determined to nurse myself to
health by the end of the season, I
cross-trained by using an elliptical
machine for one-and-a-half to three
hours every day. Mentally, I trained
each day not only to further my per-
sonal fitness, but to enhance the
quality of my team. After five weeks
of training via elliptical, I finally did
my first running workout without
pain.
I was shocked to find that, after a
five-week layoff, my fitness was better
than ever. I raced three times, mak-
ing my team’s top-five and helping
my team to win the NCAA Division
3 Cross Country South/Southeast
Regional Championship. Based on
Emory University’s first place finish,
all our seven runners automatical-
ly qualified for the NCAA National
Championship. So, the weekend be-
fore Thanksgiving, I boarded a Delta
airplane and headed to Winneconne,
Wisconsin to line up against the top
278 Division 3 runners in the country.
Let me tell you – it was not quite as
warm as West Palm!
If there’s anything I’ve taken away
from my freshman cross country sea-
son, it’s that one’s attitude determines
one’s success. Your outlook is truly a
lens that controls your happiness. Af-
ter struggling with two debilitating
injuries, I could have thrown in the
towel and waited until next season. I
could have cried about being left on
the sidelines while my team bonded
without me. Instead, I tackled my in-
jury by channeling my competitive-
ness and creativity. It became a game,
seeing which new exercises I could
devise each day and how fast I could
make my heart beat. The key was
keeping it fun. Success and happi-
ness are in your head. I urge everyone
to try turning the most negative mo-
ment into a positive. If changing your
outlook makes you smile, I promise it
will be worth it.

Yes, I went to jail once. The
poky. The joint. The slam-
mer. I led a pretty normal life
until the day I got nicked by
the fuzz.
One morning during a quick
drive to the market, red and
blue lights began to flash be-
hind me. I pulled over think-
ing he was going to pass me.
Little did I know he wanted
ME.
The officer approached my
side of the car and using my
sexiest voice I said “Was I
speeding, Officer?” I might
have batted my eyelashes a
few times too. He replied in
his good-cop voice, “Your reg-
istration sticker is expired.”
“Holy Cow!” I exclaimed.
“Thank you so much for tell-
ing me.” I waved him off and
reached for the ignition keys.
That’s when the bad cop
came out. “Ma’am, I’ll need to
see your license and registra-
tion.”
He sauntered back to his
squad car with my documents,
and I watched him in my mir-
ror marveling at how he didn’t
fall over with all that ‘stuff’
on his belt. And I waited. He
sat in his air conditioned car
and fiddled with his computer.
And I waited some more. It
started to get hot in my car. I
waited some more. As soon as
I turned my key in the ignition
for the AC, I got a short blast
of his siren; whoop-whoop.
I looked back and he was slowly
shaking his head. I turned the car
off and made exaggerated fanning
motions with my hands. And I
waited. Sweat began to run down
the side of my face. What was he
doing back there? I decided when
he returned I was going to give him
a piece of my mind. Finally, I see a
shadow at my door.
“Step out of the car, ma’am.” He
jerked his thumb to the front indi-
cating I was to stand by the hood
of my car. I got out and frowned at
him. “Look,” I began, “it’s hot and I
have to get cat food.” And then he
said, “Lean against the hood of your
car, legs apart, and hands behind
your back.”
I stood there frozen. What? “I’ll
get a new sticker,” I cried out. “I
promise.” He made a turn-around
motion and after a short, disturbing
frisk where I hoped no one I knew
was watching I heard the unmistak-
able sound of handcuffs.
It was just like on TV. He ‘escort-
ed’ me into the back of the cruiser.
It was small, cramped, and the seat
was one piece of hard uncomfort-
able molded plastic. An unpleasant,
indefinable odor wafting up from
the floor made my nose wrinkle.
When the door shut, I realized there
were no handles on the inside. Once
the officer settled himself in the
front seat, he explained my crime;
the reason I had been arrested. My
driver’s license had been suspended
because of an unpaid ticket from
two years ago.
“That’s it?” My mouth hung open
in shock. “I’m in handcuffs because

of a (expletive) unpaid ticket?”
“It’s the law, ma’am, and you broke
it. You’re under arrest.” He proceed-
ed to read me my Miranda rights.
Now look, I’m a court reporter. I
work in criminal courts. I’ve heard
those rights recited a thousand
times, but when they were being
read to me, I couldn’t seem to grasp
what he was saying. They were just
words floating past me.
When he got to ‘You have the
right to an attorney’, I snapped to.
“I work with hundreds of attor-
neys, actually. I’m sure I can find
one. In fact my brother-in-law, Biff,
is an attorney.”
“Good for you.”
I’m a law abiding citizen. I’m pro-
cop, really. I always take the side
of the state in court. But at this
moment I can see how people turn
against ‘the man’.
“If you cannot afford an attorney
…”
“I’m thinking Biff will do this case
pro bono. In fact, this is great. I’ll
finally get something out of that no
good in-law who comes to Thanks-
giving without even a pumpkin pie
in his hand. So, thank you. Really.”
He seemed to soften a bit. “Look,
I realize you’re not a big criminal,”
he said.
“I’m not even a little criminal,” I
countered. “I’m an untouched, vir-
ginal criminal.”
I did the perp walk from the park-
ing lot into the police station, try-
ing to hide my head. My mug shot
was gawd awful. They got black ink
under my nails when they took my
fingerprints. My handbag got con-
fiscated and I yelled at them, “That’s
a Tommy Hilfiger, there better not
be any dirt on it when I get it back.”
I’m making light of all this, but
I cannot overstate the apprehension
and alarm when the jail cell door
slams behind you and you are not
free to leave. My eyes locked on the
open toilet. This is the first time in
my life where I experienced what is
known as a cold sweat.
Seems I was not the only person
picked up by the cops today. I had
a cell-mate; a woman covered in
tattoos, with several face piercings,
wearing a t-shirt that read
Don’t Let Your Tongue Get
Your Teeth Knocked Out. She
told me she had been arrested
for knifing her boyfriend. She
didn’t kill him but he need-
ed thirty-eight stitches. She
asked me what I was in for. I
panicked and told her I had
robbed a bank. As a writer I
was able to spin her a pretty
darn convincing tale, too. I
even threw in a gun.
Just about then our lunch ar-
rived; a dry bologna sandwich,
a cup of warm fruit punch,
and something that might
have been an apple. And let
me tell you that guard did not
care that I don’t do carbs. He
told us we’d be going to court
later this afternoon for our ar-
raignment and bail hearing.
I spent three hours “on the
inside.” How did I pass the
time? I fretted about having to
wear orange. I decided to get
a jail tattoo, something mean
looking, like with flaming
skulls or something. I start-
ed singing Nobody knows the
trouble I’ve seen. I wondered
how I could tunnel out. I
turned to religion. I listened
to my cellmate complain ad
nauseam about her boyfriend.
Just when I thought my blad-
der would burst, the keys jan-
gled in the cell door, it swung
open, and they motioned to
me that I could leave. My hus-
band had bailed me out. But …
I was a bad-mama now. I threw my
hair back and challenged, “What,
I’m no longer a danger to soci-
ety? It’s safe to have me out on the
streets again?”
The guard motioned with a bored
flick of his eyes to the door. “You’re
out, get out.”
Ms. 38 Stitches wasn’t happy.
“What!? No arraignment, no bail
hearing?” She pointed an angry fin-
ger at me. “You didn’t rob no bank!”
I scurried out of there. I had to
swear to show up in court, and that
was it. I was free. Later at my hear-
ing the judge said, “You drove with
a suspended license for six months.
We’ve been looking for you.”
Now, I know better than to talk
back to a judge, but I just could not
help myself. “You’ve been looking
for me?!?” My mouth dropped open
and my brain told me to shut up, but
… I didn’t. “Your Honor, I’ve been at
the same address in Century Village
for three years.” I pointed to the
very floor I was standing on. “I’m a
court reporter who works right here
in this courthouse. All anyone had
to do was open their eyes.”
He narrowed his and I shut up
and paid the fine.
The case was dropped. I swear I’ll
never fiddle around about paying a
parking ticket again. Ever. And I’ll
also be careful to not let my regis-
tration sticker expire, which was
the reason I got pulled over in the
first place.
I’m still working on the courage to
get that tattoo. But I’m having sec-
ond thoughts about the skull thing.
