Excursion Bus Trips


Excursion Buses run Mondays & Wednesdays, every month.

The Monday bus normally goes to Wellington Green at 9:30 a.m.


and returns at 1:15 p.m. This same bus makes a second trip at 10:30
a.m. to Wal-Mart, returning at 2:10 p.m.

EXCEPTION: The 2nd Monday trip is to Lake Worth Beach,


leaving at 9:30 a.m. and returning by 2:30 p.m. This is a big bus
holding 48 passengers. The January trip is on January 11th.

The Wednesday bus normally goes to CityPlace at 10 a.m. and


continues on to Gardens Mall, arriving about 10:30 a.m. This bus
leaves the Gardens Mall at 1:30 p.m. and picks up at CityPlace
about 2 p.m.
Space donated by the UCO Reporter for this advertisement
EXCEPTION: The 4th Wednesday trip is to Delray on January
27th, leaving at 9:30 a.m. and returning by 2:30 p.m. The destination
is the Carnival Flea Market, and Beall’s Outlet is within walking
distance.
Call the Rover: 502-8103
This 48 passenger bus is usually full, so it makes sense to arrive
between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. to be sure of getting a seat.
Remember, call 911 first for any emergency, then call the
above number to summon our security car.

abundant lack of civility and
respect during the first 11

disrupt and endanger our lives
every day. For example, “Road

cell phones and texting while

running red lights, not giving

healthier daily life:
• I will respect all people,
friends and foes, and for-
give their trespasses.
• I will help and support the
poor and homeless, the sick
and ailing.
• I will abhor violence and
terrorism whenever it may
exist.
• I will consider that life is

run over by a bike rider — twice
during the same walk. On both
occurrences, the bike rider ap-

there is room for both riders and

very different opinions as to


what we should do. The one
demands that additional troops
be set there, as asked by the
current commander of U.S.
forces there — 40,000?
The other maintains that
we should try and extricate
ourselves from a war we can-
not win, and that basically is
the opinion not only of our
vice president, but of our
ambassador to Afghanistan,
who happens to be the previ-
ous commander of our forces
there. Afghanistan is a country
four times plus the size of Iraq.
There is no faction there we
could trust, the government is
corrupt and most of the mon-
ies we spent there ended up
in the hands of the president’s
brother and other criminals
like him who get rich selling
opium.
Afghanistan had no govern-
ment able to run the country
for many years, and that in-
cluded the current one. It is run
by warlords whose interests
are strictly local and all in-
volved in the drug trade. Even
if we commit to the number
of troops comparable to what
the Soviets fielded, we might
temporarily in some areas be
militarily successful at a price
comparable to what they paid.
We are led to believe that
we are there because we fight
al Qaeda. I have no doubt that
those are in Pakistan and else-
where, all over Europe, and
not in Afghanistan.
Even if we succeeded in
conquering all of Afghanistan
— an impossible undertaking
which would not be helped by

lars) to put in valves outside your condo near the water meters.
What You Should Know
The valves will be installed below ground.
In order to shut off your water, you must get down on your hands and
knees, open a plastic box, and reach down into a hole to shut off this
valve.
In Florida, we have snakes, poisonous frogs, etc.
I am a plumber; when I need to stick my hand into a below ground
box, I use a thick leather glove.
After a rain, you would be amazed to see what’s swimming in these
boxes.
Don’t forget, when you want to turn the water back on, you must repeat
this process.
Let Me Make a Less Expensive Suggestion
We are State Licensed Plumbers. My employee comes to your building.
We examine every water heater and toilet, give you a written analysis,

your cost is only $5.00 per apartment. Why should you vote for me?
I’m willing to voluntarily take a lie detector test every six months and publish
the results.
And/Or Only two questions need to be asked:

Normally I’m not political, but I’m seeing things that should be addressed.
UCO directs millions of dollars every year.
If elected I will do my best to create an outside group of Century Village
The Construction Guys residents to look at where the money goes.
The U.S. Government has the GAO.

State Lic. #CFC053324 The military has the Inspector General.


We here in Century Village should have a group looking over the shoulders of
the people that wield the power.
Palm Beach is called Corruption County; we’ve had three county commission-

Century Village is the size, and has the budget, of a small town. We need an
Ethics Panel.
May I suggest that before you vote, ask your candidate if they’re willing to
voluntarily take a lie detector test, and have the results published.
If they give us a song and dance about why they shouldn’t take a lie detector
test, and try to influence other people not to take a lie detector test, then maybe
we should find another person to vote for.
P.S.
The only people that can cheat us are the people we trust.
Everybody loved and trusted Bernie Madoff.
What do you think Bernie Madoff would have said if someone had asked him
to take a lie detector test?

For people with Medicare

Everybody’s talking about health care these days. But what are they doing
about it?
At CarePlus, we believe the best way to keep costs down is to keep
our members healthy. So we encourage the kind of lifestyle that keeps you
out of the doctor’s office, except for routine visits. The kind of health care
that makes it possible for you to take fewer medications, rather than more.
Health care that puts the focus on prevention instead
of fixing what’s wrong.
That’s the kind of health care we believe in– the kind that’s
better for everyone, because it concentrates on health.

Prescription drug coverage


Doctor visits
Preventive screenings
Transportation
