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.

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
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!

COMMENTARY
FISH EATING
NOT TROLLING
BY LENORE VELCOFF
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

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

The
Readers Corner
BY LENORE VELCOFF
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

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

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
give me a call at 561 632 5268.

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
need of financial help, please refer to
our website, pbcgov.com/PAPA, for a
scholarship application. Call (561)
355-3230 for more information.

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
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.
