Public Notice

From the Desk of President George Loewenstein On July 10, the Delegates, our Board of Directors, voted to have UCO take a stand against the proposed development of the golf course into a housing complex. Within the next few days (probably already done by the time you read this), I will send the owner a letter informing him of this fact. Since the golf course is already closed, and since there are openings in the fence along Haverhill, we do have a concern that this presents a security issue. There are several structures on the property which, unless torn down, make an inviting home for the homeless. We will monitor this situation. I would like to inform the residents of several upcoming events. First, we now have a postal vehicle (private, not Federal) at the Clubhouse Monday and Wednesday from 9 to 11 a.m. It will be able to transact all postal business except the sale of money orders. It will also have the ability to handle DHL, Federal Express, and United Parcel Services. Second, Palm Beach County has grant money available to pay Florida Power and Light up to $300 on behalf of anyone who falls within certain income guidelines. See more info on page 10. Representatives will be in the Clubhouse on Thursday, August 6, to take applications. Fliers with details are available at the UCO office and requirements will also appear on Channel 63. Third, on Monday, August 10, Comprehensive Home Health Care and our Medical Center will sponsor another Health Fair in our Clubhouse. Medical personnel will be available to conduct certain tests (see ads on pages 8 and 16), and to answer your health-related questions. Comprehensive Home Health Care has also been cooperating with our CERT team by providing instructors for refresher courses, etc. A great big “thank you” goes out to them. The Walgreens drugstore in our Village seems to have finally gotten their act together. For those of our residents who use Kosher food, please note that they now have challah and rolls, as well as some staples. I am encouraging them to also bring in Kosher frozen food, and hopefully that will happen. They have also submitted an ad to our newspaper. At the next Delegate Meeting (Friday, August 7), we will bring forth some proposed changes in the UCO bylaws. I urge each of you to attend. While only Delegates can vote, every resident can speak and will be heard. Please enjoy the summer, try to keep cool, drink lots of fluids, and make sure that you are fully prepared in case we encounter a hurricane. It is the season. Pamphlets are available at the UCO office. o

Distribution of the UCO Reporter will change with the next issue, since many of those who have been picking up for their area are currently unable to do so (usually due to health considerations). In prior months, no one has picked up papers for Andover, Bedford, and Sheffield areas. We understand that the sheer volume is intimidating. Now you can pick up for just your building/association (about 16/24 copies). All papers will be available to all residents, and we ask you to take papers for your entire building/ association when you come in to pick up your own issue. Since we have 309 separate associations, this method will require a lot of individuals to visit our office at the Camden pool between the hours of 11:30 and 12 Noon. Those who still prefer to pick up papers for their entire area (such as Coventry, or Hastings, as an example) may continue to do so. There will not be any phone calls to individual area representatives, announcing when the paper has arrived from the printer. See Channel 63 for exact dates, or just stop in any morning after the paper has been delivered to us. Due to extenuating circumstances, the August issue has been condensed to accommodate our advertisers and expedite distribution. Excessive daily rain exacerbated the problems in redoing the Camden A building’s roof. During this period, we were denied access to the Reporter office, and thus unable to produce the August issue by the normal deadline.

Transportation Claudette LaBonte

A special thank you to those who called (the hugs are appreciated also) regarding the new bus schedule and the service you have received. After the first week, I met with Linda at Morse Home, who gave those using the facilities great kudos. We realize that following lunch there is a time lag until pickup and Linda is looking into setting up various programs for the future. I’m not comfortable saying, “The good news is,” but I will try it again. Beginning on Monday, July 13, a white van will now be parked in our former postal area. It is owned

by Eagle Shipping Center and they will perform all postal mailings except Money Orders. They will provide additional services such as items over the postal rates; you will have the choice of UPS, Fed Ex and DHL. They will provide “Road Freight,” which are heavy items and they will pick up at your home. Also, if you would like to rent a box through their facility, they will bring your mail to the Village on the two days that they are here and you can pick it up at the van. The van will be here on Mondays and Wednesdays between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. o

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 August trip is on August 10. 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. EXCEPTION: The 4th Wednesday trip is to Delray, leaving at 9:30 a.m. and returning by 2:30 p.m. The destination is the Carnival Flea Market, and Bealls Outlet is within walking distance. 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.

The Golf Course Saga

Do We Have a “Tory” in Our Midst? In the early years of our history, we had American colonists that fit into two very distinct categories, those who were sick and tired of being taxed and put upon by the governing British rulers, and the British army which billeted in their homes! “The homes of the Americans.” This group was called dissenters by the Loyalist (Tory — loyal to the King and Crown), but the true name of opposition, these colonists were called “Patriot.” Now, what is the definition of this word? As follows from the dictionary, “One that loves and zealously supports one’s own country” and its ideals. Now that we’ve had a lesson in history, how does it fit into our story? We have a president of a building association who is a President in absentia for a good part of the year. The period in question is spent back home in “Jolly Old England,” where it is reported to me that (s)he is engaged in the profession of being an investigative reporter. An honorable profession, if (s)he does not work for the yellow tabloids which you can buy at the check-out counter of any food shop. You all know the ones that I mean, the “Shockers,” and the “Kiss and Tellers.” Now comes this newcomer to the Village, and I truly do not know how long (s)he has lived here, but from the tone of a letter that (s)he penned in England, and sent via cyberspace to someone in the building, with orders to place this uninformed piece of garbage in the hands of all members of the building association. (S)he refers to a “self appointed golf course committee” and that it has been in existence for the past two years. (S)he further states that this committee has met with the Waldmans (present owners of the golf course) without informing anyone of these meetings, and that all we are doing is making Mr. Waldman angry. (S)he also states that we should take the offer of a lake and the so called security which it will offer and say that we have made the best deal that we can, because, in the

long run we will lose if we go to court. (S)he goes on and on with this tripe. If this is a sample of investigative reporting, then I am very fortunate to have been spared the agony of reading any previous tomes. In short, (s)he is an author of fiction, and uses “Elizabethan English,” written in the style of “Shakespeare” to cover up her total lack of information. Let me explain away inaccuracies. To begin with, the Golf Course committee that (s)he refers to is “The Pro Active Committee for Century Village.” This is the official corporate name, as registered and incorporated, as a “Not for Profit” corporation in the state of Florida. We have a full complement of corporate officers, we have a treasury, and a former banker as our treasurer, and we have a cyber guru, as our link to everything that pertains to our cause that can be found on the Internet. We have met with the politicians that can be of vital need to us, such as State Senator Dave Aronberg, former State Representative Susan Bucher (now the Supervisor of Elections of the County), Palm Beach County Commissioner, and Chair of the Commission, Jeff Koons. We have even met with Paulette Burdick, a 17-year veteran of the P.B.C. School Board. We have met with her, as she appears to be the front runner in the soon to be vacated district two seat on the commission. She has told us that our golf course, the pearl of her oyster and plans to protect it. We feel that she will do an outstanding job as Jeff Koons’ replacement. We have spoken to the presidents of the 14 Democratic Clubs in Palm Beach County, by proxy through our own club here in the Village. We can top the story with the fact that we have opinions from many attorneys, including the Chief County Attorney, our own Rod Tennyson, and the head attorney for one of the largest law firms in the land, if not the world. She is head of the ethics department. All of these legal minds were of one opinion and that is based on the fact that the golf course is located on what is known as “Plat Fourteen.” On this legal document is also located the

Southampton complex and inscribed on this document is the legend, “This land is to be a golf course in perpetuity.” The only way that this could be changed would be to get four County Commissioners (a majority) to vote to change the zoning. But, it is my thoughts, as well as those of others, that even if this were to happen, we could win in court. Mr. Waldman is a shrewd businessman, and has great funds at his disposal, but he cannot match those that the D.R. Horton developers had when they came to exercise an option to build that they had paid to Mr. Waldman. This developer is one of the biggest in the field, yet we stopped them dead in their tracks with the actions of our Century Village resident with the leadership of the “Committee.” If these mega giants could have by-passed the “Plat Fourteen” papers, they would have done it a long time ago. They can’t. We won’t let them. This “Committee” is made up of committed, intelligent, unwavering residents. We want no “Tories” involved. I started this letter in answer to this dribble by a part-time president, who did not take the time to find out the truth of statements and in all probability would move to some other unsuspecting community if this would ever happen. (S)he would then see the reality of her statements. Let me now close with another lesson in American history. On September 10, 1813, after defeating a vastly superior fleet of the British armed forces, Commodore Perry sent this nine-word message to his commanding officer and I quote, “We have met the enemy, and they are ours.” I hope that this person will realize that you don’t fool with Americans and get their dander up. I will tell you that in the fall, we will have a town meeting and at that time, we will inform all as to what the background of this attempt to change our way of life was. No question will be swept under the rug. It will be a true town meeting. Respectfully yours, I am Phil Shapkin, President of

From the Desk of Vice President Bob Marshall Another month has flown by. The lakes are full. We have had some spectacular thunderstorms and life goes on. This is a good time to look up and count our blessings. We live in a mini paradise. We have things to do, more than we can even take advantage of. It is getting hot, but we can go to the air conditioned Clubhouse and enjoy a class, a movie or a meeting. The traffic is way down, so it is easier to get around out on the busy roads. The buses are running and such a lifeline for so many here in the Village. I can’t even imagine what life would be like back North, where these services would not be available to us. This is a good time to get to know some of our neighbors that we seem to be too busy to do during the winter months. Have a building cookout over on Duck Island in the late afternoon. There is usually a nice breeze there and with all the rain it looks lush and beautiful. We have enjoyed Wakodahatchee (located south on Jog

Rd.) and Green Cay (12800 Hogen Ranch Rd., Boynton Beach) nature centers. At this time of year, early morning or late afternoon would be the time to go. Wakodahatchee is a raised wooden walkway a half mile long and at Green Cay their walkway is one and a half miles long. Take binoculars and you will see so many different birds and water fowl. An occasional alligator is always an exciting sight. Last, but certainly not least, go to the pool for a refreshing cool down. With our storms, mornings seem to be the best time, but when the weather pattern changes a little, a swim at 6 or 7 p.m. cools you down for the rest of the evening. We have so much here to enjoy. Take the time to do just that. The UCO office is open and there are people there to serve you. Paperwork is a frustration to many of us so when you go for help, try to be patient with the office staff and they will try to be patient with you. Everybody there is trying to make this a better place to live. o

Letter from Pres. Loewenstein to Mr. and Mrs. Waldman Regarding the Golf Course From the Desk of Vice President Jerry Karpf For the past several months, many Associations have been hearing talk about the rat problem we have in the Village. I am sorry to say that the problem is getting worse. At first, they were only reported to be in two Associations (Windsor and Camden), which are on the west side of the Village. Now, I’ve received reports that they are in the Norwich area, which is on the east side of the Village, and I’ve just received a report that they have been seen in Dover. We all need to work together now; each Association must start working to control the rat problem. If anyone sees any rats or hears scratching noise in your walls, you should notify your Association board. If you hear of a neighboring Association having a rat problem, tell your board that it may be wise to call in an exterminator to checkout your building to make sure that your building has not been invaded as well. Most exterminators will give

your building a free inspection, but if you come across a company that will not give your building a free inspection, notify me at the UCO offices and I will correct the problem for you. When contacting the exterminator, make sure that they are not using poison to get rid of the rats. This is an extremely dangerous way to get rid of rats. Because when the rats pick up the poison and go on the move to find water, the poison can end up in your apartment, on counter tops, pots and in your sink. To be on the safe side, make sure that the exterminator uses traps or any other safe method to catch the rats. Also, make sure that the exterminator seals all holes in your building, including holes around the base of your building. Another way rats may get into your building is through the goose neck air vent on top of your roof. These vents can be covered with wire mesh, thus preventing the rats from getting into your building’s attic.

Remember, the only way we can solve this problem of the various rat infestations we have in Century Village, is if we all work together to get rid of them. Remember to tie or seal all bags of garbage that you throw out. Another problem we have in the Village is that of people

Waiting for the submission of a motion by a delegate to have UCO deal with this matter — which of course could still occur, is not the way this should be handled. We need leadership, the recognition of common interests, a united front and a clear defense of what is ours, and no hiding behind some administrative rule, which is fine for day-to-day matters but not for emergencies such as this. Yes, Mr. President, I am against the renewed attempt by the golf club owners as you assumed. Join me. Kurt Weiss

Answers to Your Questions

Over the past couple of years, decisiveness has crawled into Century Village that makes it quite uncomfortable to live here by many and at many times. Because we no longer have a computer chat page, questions go unanswered and the Villagers have no way to find out what, or who, would put the questions at rest. For instance: Why is there no chat page on the Century Village computer website as in the past? Answer the question. Why not answer the tennis questioner as to what really goes on? Answers have come our way saying that UCO knows who he is, but there’s nothing that can be done. Well, most inhabitants don’t know that, but would like to know the answers to his questions. Why, now is he poking questions at the sailing club and the goings on behind the scenes there? Answer him!!! Now…..don’t wait until rumors run around the Village. What is going on at the golf course? Even though most of the Village does not have to look directly at the area, it concerns all of us. We should know what the power that be knows. So many of us were pleased that Comcast was the winner of the three choices, but now Continued on Page 10

Maintenance Jerry Karpf

Just a reminder of the Maintenance Committee’s Dis­c laimer: UCO and the Maintenance Committee do not approve or endorse any product, manufacturer or contractor; furthermore, any speakers’ opinion are strictly their own and not those of UCO and the Maintenance committee. This lecture or meeting cannot be used in any legal matter. We have been having a number of water leaks occurring in units that have been left unattended. What people don’t understand is that these leaks cause mold to grow in just 24 hours, and in a few cases some unit walls were totally black. All the walls in the unit had to be replaced at significant cost. Because this problem is preventable, many insurance companies are starting to limit coverage for mold damage. It is better to be proactive and stop mold problems before they begin. If you see water spots on the wall or ceiling, bring it to the attention of your Association president at once, so that he/ she can find the source of the leak and have it repaired. After the leak has been fixed, the owner is responsible for the cleanup. The easiest way is to hand-wash the wall. After the leak has been repaired, the water stain should be washed with chlorine cleaner to kill the mold. Also, the use of a product like “Kilz” paint be-

fore repainting the area that was stained is recommended. The next topic was a discussion concerning a list of things to do to prepare before and after a hurricane. The list included: • Find out who will be staying in their units during the hurricane. • Get a supply of the “Ask for help” knob hangers and distribute them to whoever will be staying. • Take pictures of your Association’s buildings and grounds and make sure you get clear pictures of your roof, windows and doors. • Place all your recycle containers indoors. • Make sure all laundry and utility room doors are secured, so they will not fly open during the hurricane. • Secure all condominium documents in a safe dry place. • Get a Princess type land line phone. If we lose electric power, these phones will let you make calls. • Have all unit owners move their cars away from trees. • Tell everyone that is staying during the hurricane to move to a place in their unit that is away from all windows and doors. After the hurricane passes, check to make sure that all the people that have stayed through the hurricane are safe. If you find someone that is injured or sick, place one of the CERT door hangers on their

door knob and try to call 911. There is a possibility that we be unable to get outside help for 24 to 72 hours. After checking for injuries, the Association should check the outside of the building for damage, windows and doors, as well as the back of the building. A check of the roof can be accomplished by most two story Associations, by going to the second floor catwalk of the Association across the street and viewing it from there. Associations should take pictures of damaged areas. They should do as much temporary repairs as possible to keep the building from further damage. When an insurance adjuster comes to inspect the hurricane damage, let him do the talking. A guest speaker at this meeting was Rep. Mark Pafford, who discussed the Governor’s veto of Senate Bill 714. This Bill was approved by an overwhelming majority of both houses of the legislature and was meant to correct several problems that were in the current condominium bill which was passed in 2008. The Governor said his veto would save lives, but he gave no figures to back up his veto. Rep. Pafford advised that we would have to wait until the next legislative session to work on passing a new bill. This new bill would make necessary changes to H.B. 995 and H.B. 601. He said that he would keep us advised of progress being made on this new bill, which hopefully will not be vetoed by the next Governor. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. Please note the change of day from now on. o

Public Notice Distribution of the UCO Reporter will change with the next issue, since many of those who have been picking up for their area are currently unable to do so (usually due to health considerations). In prior months, no one has picked up papers for Andover, Bedford, and Sheffield areas. We understand that the sheer volume is intimidating. Now you can pick up for just your building/association (about 16/24 copies). All papers will be available to all residents, and we ask you to take papers for your entire building/ association when you come in to pick up your own issue. Since we have 309 separate associations, this method will require a lot of individuals to visit our office at the Camden pool between the hours of 11:30 and 12 Noon. Those who still prefer to pick up papers for their entire area (such as Coventry, or Hastings, as an example) may continue to do so. There will not be any phone calls to individual area representatives, announcing when the paper has arrived from the printer. See Channel 63 for exact dates, or just stop in any morning after the paper has been delivered to us. Due to extenuating circumstances, the August issue has been condensed to accommodate our advertisers and expedite distribution. Excessive daily rain exacerbated the problems in redoing the Camden A building’s roof. During this period, we were denied access to the Reporter office, and thus unable to produce the August issue by the normal deadline.

The Century Village Symphony Orchestra’s annual concert will take place on Thursday, March 13 at 8:00 p.m. in the Clubhouse Theatre. We will be performing The Poet and Peasant Overture, Concertino for Piano in A minor, the Russian Sailor’s Dance, selections from the Phantom of the Opera, El Relicario, and the Angels Sing, New World Symphony (4th movement) and selections from My Fair Lady. Tickets are on sale now at the ticket office in the Clubhouse. Rickie Bernstein

Live the GoodLife.

Don’t Focus on Forecast — Prepare Now The 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season is here, and weather experts are predicting average, to possibly less than average, storm activity. This is due to the anticipated return of El Nino, the water-warming phenomenon in the Pacific that results in higher wind shear in the Atlantic and therefore less favorable conditions for storm development. I cringe a little whenever I hear these types of reports because it can lead to complacency. And it really doesn’t matter how many storms are predicted or how many actually form, it’s whether any wind-up hitting South Florida. Lest we be reminded that in 1992 there were only six named storms, but one of them was Hurricane Andrew. Although the last three seasons were pretty light, the pounding we took in 04 and 05 with Hurricanes Frances, Jeanne and Wilma should still be fresh in everyone’s mind. Like always, preparation is the key when it comes to dealing with Mother Nature’s fury. I’d like to mention a few changes and improvements our emergency management team has made to handle a major storm. I serve on the county’s executive policy group, which determines what preand post-storm resources will be most needed and how to get them in place. Geographically, the county is divided into six Emergency Operations Areas (EOAs) to deal with specific needs at the local level, instead of trying to handle it all from the Emergency Operations Center. There are 14 designated POD (point of distribution) sites for handing out ice, water and food and other emergency supplies. The fairgrounds will serve as the county’s bulk distribution site for getting these supplies to the EOAs. (Residents should not come to the fairgrounds to pick up ice and water; they should go to their local POD.) Publix has installed generators at approximately 50 of its 70 stores in the county. Many other retailers and gas stations have upgraded, too.

This will make a huge difference immediately following a disaster when electrical power is out. The list of stores and gas stations with generators will be posted on our Web site, pbcgov.com, and continually updated throughout the season. We have a new WebEOC program that can be used with other federal and state emergency managers and all municipalities throughout the entire South Florida region. Think of WebEOC as a sepaContinued on Page 25

Insurance Dan Gladstone

This time, it happened in my building. My neighbor called me at 6:30 a.m. and told me that his corridor closet was flooded, and so was the guest bathroom. The first thing we did was to siphon all the water and dry the area. In about one hour, the area was back to normal. That’s what we thought after the work was done, but 45 minutes later, my neighbor called again and said that the area was flooded again. This time, we decided to check the adjoining apartment which was empty after the owner had left for the summer a month earlier. When we opened the door, we could not believe our eyes; the whole living room was soaking wet and a noise of running water sounded in the back. We immediately rushed to the master bathroom only to find that the toilet water tank was overflowing quite heavily. We shut the valve behind the toilet and the overflow stopped. The apartment was devastated. The water reached every corner of the unit, under the kitchen cabinets, in the closets and of course every inch of the carpets. We realized that other apartments must be damaged as well. The unit below suffered the most. The water was coming down like a rain storm damaging it completely including many of the ceilings. To complete the picture the other four units that border these two apartments were also badly damaged. The six insurance companies were notified immediately. One of the units does not carry insurance so the owner will have to bear all the costs

of repairs herself. According to the adjuster of the Association, the damage to the Association policy could reach $70,000, i.e., the part that the Association is responsible according to Florida Statute 718-111(11) without counting the expenses paid by the home-owners insurance. One thing is certain, the Association’s out of pocket deductibles (in water damage) is $5,000, each unit’s out of pocket cost cost is $500 or $1,000. Add to it the aggravation and hassle which is priceless. The woman (she is the only one in the building) without insurance will have to pay every cent from her checking account. All this is because my neighbor was: A) too lazy to pick up the telephone and call the water company or B) tried to save the $35 cost of opening the main water valve. Is there negligence? There might be, especially where this apartment had a similar leak 10 years ago. This is something to address in the future. Do you think it helps the friendship among the neighbors in the building?

It’s a show you shouldn’t have missed. Unfortunately, attendance was just short of 200 people. It is sad that our income in these circumstances does not support the expenses.

From the Desk of State Representative Mark S. Pafford A public hearing held June 24 in West Palm Beach regarding a 31 percent increase that FPL is requesting from the Public Service Commission drew widespread community participation. Under FPL’s rate hike request, a customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours a month would face a rate increase from $39.31 to $51.71. The base rate, which accounts for about 40 percent of customers’ total bills, covers the costs of producing and delivering electricity. FPL has not had a rate increase since 1985. The utility contends the rate hike is necessary to improve its efficiency through various projects, such as the modernization of its Riviera Beach power plant. It also wants to collect a 12.5 percent return on its investments. J.R. Kelly, who serves as the public counsel for the state, spoke against the proposed increase. Mr. Kelly stated that he believes that the rate increase is unreasonable as many expenses once part of the base rate are now excluded and have become part of “pass-through recovery clauses.” A representative from the Attorney General’s Office who also spoke at the hearing urged consumers to be aware that, if a utility charge increases, businesses may inevitably be forced to charge more for their goods and services. Some members of the general public spoke in favor of the proposed rate hike, praising FPL for their quality service and prompt response during hurricanes. Others, however, expressed concerns that those on already tight incomes may not be able to afford the higher utility costs.  The FPL spokesperson stated that the company is committed to keeping costs down for their customers, stating that FPL has the lowest cost of the state’s 54 utility companies. Representative Mark Pafford attended the hearing and said he is encouraged to see so many citizens taking advantage of this opportunity to make their voices heard. For those who were unable to attend the public hearing, the deadline to submit a comment is July 14, 2009. Comments may be sent to: Florida Public Service Commission, 2540 Shumard Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, FL 32399, or [email protected] o

At the Library Stamps in the News Syd Kronish

Nostalgia rears its magnificent head! Just as we were discussing the new TV cable system for CV residents, the U.S. Postal Service has provided at this time an unusual set of stamps based on the early days of TV which it has called “TV’s Golden Age.” The Postal Service pays tribute to 20 of the greatest shows of the 20th century. Yes, television has come a long way from its first flashing images on small boxes available to people shortly after World War II. For more than half a century, Americans have listened and watched TV for entertainment and information. It remains so today much to the enjoyment of young and old. Whether laughing at the first situation comedies, struck by crime dramas, humorous game shows, all audiences were charmed by this new medium. Today, memories from TV’s early days are especially vivid for those who remember their pleasures in front of the small screen. The 20 shows honored are: The Milton Berle Show; Perry Mason; The Honeymooners; Dragnet; I Love Lucy; Howdy Doody; George Burns and Gracie Allen Show; Lassie; Hopalong Cassidy; You Bet Your Life; Dinah Shore Show; Kukla, Fran and Ollie; Phil Silvers Show; The Lone Ranger; Alfred Hitchcock Presents; Ozzie and Harriet Show; The Tonight Show; Twilight Zone; Ed Sullivan Show and the Red Skelton Show. I will highlight a few of these memorable shows. Milton Berle, who started

on radio, headed the Texaco Star Theater in June 1948 and became the new medium’s first super star, earning the nickname of “Mr. TV” and “Uncle Miltie.” Berle was known for his clowning, often in outlandish costume, and was credited with driving up all TV sales. Defense attorney Perry Mason first appeared as a character in detective fiction by Erle Stanley Gardner. The show adhered to a winning formula in which Mason, played by Raymond Burr, cleared his innocent client of murder charges and identified the real killer, who was usually present when exposed as the culprit. The Honeymooners starred Jackie Gleason as the complaining bus driver, Ralph Kramden, who lived with his wife Alice (Audrey Meadows) in a Brooklyn apartment. Helping the humor was Art Carney as Kramden’s neighbor and friend. Ralph’s greatest laughs were when he threatened to “send his wife to the moon.” Dragnet, featuring Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday, became a big hit from its premiere in 1952, emphasizing the hard work of the police department. The opening four notes of its theme and the prologue to each episode: “The story you are about to see is true, the names have been changed to protect the innocent.” Nostalgia, never the less, is the theme of this unusual set of 20 stamps.

June was again a busy month. We had very little reduction in traffic entering the Village. We had the same number of broken gates this month (seven) as we had last month. I guess some people just do not want to wait for their turn to enter the gates. Thank you for remembering that you must call in all people that you invite to come through the gates. We had a few problems in the beginning of the month with a Taxi and food delivery but as people became aware that we were following the post orders more closely things got better. Two times recently the gate guards had to call 911 for a sick passenger in a car leaving the Village to go to the hospital. It

would have been better to call 911 from home rather than trying to drive them to the hospital. I thank those of you who have let me know about a pleasant guard, a guard that was of special help or in one case just a big smile given when greeting a visitor entering the gate. We feel lucky to have nice guards working here at Century Village. One request, since the golf course is now closed, we should all observe anyone entering the Village by using the golf course as a short-cut. If you see anyone coming from Haverhill Road across the golf course, please call Security (while it is happening) at 502-8103. This is the quickest way to talk to Security. o

Clubhouse Library

By Dot Loewenstein Since we cleaned out the old, beat-up, smelly books, the shelves are much lighter. Now they are filled with bright, clean, shiny covered volumes that have new red stickers to indicate the author’s name (fiction, hardcover). To accommodate those who have difficulty bending, most of our books are located on higher shelves. Our hardest worker (Hershel) clears off the tables three times daily so that residents coming in always have an empty table at which to sit and read. Reminder: Two tables at the left side, back of room, have special bases that prevent any turning of the table. These are reserved for jigsaw puzzles. Puzzles on any other table will be removed. Please understand there is a safety issue here, because many puzzle doers have developed the habit of turning the table top rather than move to another chair to view the puzzle from another angle. Continual turning of the table top results in “unwinding” the top and sooner or later it will be a hazard to anyone leaning on it for support. Please observe these special tables, placed for your safety. Those who use laptops are requested to use the far right table (back), near an outlet, and/or the far left table (front), also near an outlet. If you prefer, any location on the second floor will accommodate your needs — this is what wireless is all about. Many residents come in just to read, believe it or not, and find the constant conversations to be disturbing. Perhaps those who stop in for a few minutes between buses can speak more quietly, and others staying longer might limit their conversations, or possibly find a comfy corner in the hall overlooking the downstairs lobby, for more privacy. We are thrilled that so many people find our library a sort of sanctuary. I, for one, often find myself pleased to discuss jigsaw progress with those hard at work, and overlook the fact that others are trying to concentrate on their reading. Please forgive us. I will try to be more considerate in future, and hopefully those reading this will follow suit. o

Open Doors Monument This monument, dedicated on Fathers’ Day 2009, symbolizes the Filipino people‘s hospitality and courage, when they gladly opened their doors and welcomed the Jewish refugees fleeing Europe in 1939. It is located in the Rosh LeZion Holocaust Memorial Park in Israel. Ten thousand visas earmarked for travel to the Philippines Islands were made available to thousands of Jews as President Manuel L. Quezon fully understood the crisis that the Jews were facing at that time. Unfortunately, only 1,000 were able to avail themselves of this offer. “The Philippines held out a promise of a safe haven from Nazi oppression, offering survival from mass murder of the Jewish people in Europe.” (Quote from Frank Ephraim’s book Escape to Manila.) Open Doors is the first Philippine monument in Israel, undertaken by the committee recognizing the 50 th anniversary celebration of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Israel. The purpose is to express the feeling, sentiment, and emotion of the Filipinos who showed the courage to welcome the Jews and provide them with humanitarian assistance. Three open doors in increasing heights represent the open door policy of the Philippines for the Jews in 1939. Each door forms a triangular pattern that indicates (a) the triangle of the Philippine flag, and (b) the two triangles of the star of

S

David in the Israeli flag. These flags are joined together to signify the close and friendly relations of the Philippines and Israel as they celebrate their 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations. The doors open inward and meet in the middle of the triangles. A light in the middle represents the sun and denotes the hope that the Philippines brought to the Jewish refugees, the warm welcome they received from the Filipino people, and the beacon that will guide both countries in attaining common goals. In front of each door, footprints are etched on the marble floor: the left foot imprinted in front of the door and the right foot imprinted inside the door. George Loewenstein is among the thousands of Jews who sought refuge in the Philippines. He arrived from Berlin in 1939 at the age of 5, and moved to America after liberation from the Japanese in 1945. His footprints are carved on the floor of the first door. Max Weissler arrived in the Philippines in 1941 at the age of 11 years. A refugee from Germany, he grew up in the Philippines and now lives in Israel. His footprints are carved on the floor of the second door. Doryliz Goffer is a 10 year old Filipino-Israeli child born in the Philippines. She is a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. Her footprints represent the continuing friendship between the republic of the Philippines and the State of Israel, and are carved on the floor of the third door. o

From the Listening Post Syd Kronish

Chutzpa Personified and Magnified By this time, everyone from the far corners of the earth, and even Planet Mars, as well as the residents of CV, have heard of the diatribes of disgraced and discredited financial mogul, Bernard Madoff. We have been told how he hoodwinked a coterie of clients promising prolific profits from investments. But the results were just the opposite — millions of dollars in losses (a total of 56 billion dollars). Well, it’s payback time, Bernie boy, even if you think that the judge was unfair in ordering you to forfeit more than 70 billion dollars. This includes your interests in properties, cars, boats, jewelry, plus Mrs. B’s big bucks and her lavish homes all around the world. Mr. B, the jail door eagerly awaits your entrance and stay in prison for the next 150 years. I am sure that there are numerous CV residents who have felt the economic pinch and have lost money in their own investment portfolios (although not in Bernie’s gold gelt category). Frank Rich of The New York Times reported that Madoff’s flimflam is dwarfed, however, by the big banks of Wall Street who took their money and ran before the bubble burst, sticking the rest of us with fear, panic and loss. Sadly, the Wall Street guys ran off, never to be caught. Rumors abound as to how the Madoffs are handling the disasters. It was reported a few weeks ago that Bernie was seen in disguise on Worth Avenue wearing a sign that said “will work for food.” Also seen passing Bernie in her chauffer driven Rolls Royce was Ruth, singing this song with apologies to Bill Bailey: Won’t you come home dear Bernie. Won’t you come home. I’ll wait the whole nite long. I’ll do the cooking dearie, I’ll pay the rent, I know we did ’em wrong. Remember that lonely evening they threw you out With nothing but a fine tooth

comb. Ain’t it a shame, I know you’re to blame Dear Bernie, won’t you please come home — even in shackles, Dear Bernie, please come home. Oh Yeaaaaaaaaah. ********** As an afterthought to the Wall Street mavens who purported that “greed is good,” should we now conclude with the line greed is good — only if you don’t get caught. Right, Bernie??????!!!! o

VILLAGE BLVD

By Dennis Moore Palm Beach County Consumer Affairs Division ********** Topic: Dating Services Trap Roger in Jupiter felt his life was in a rut. He was working full time and wanted to meet new people. Roger received a flyer in the mail inviting him to join other singles and meet new people. He went to the agency, signed a contract for 15 introductions and paid $2,500. During the first six months of the contract, the agency arranged only one introduction and two dinner dances. Roger didn’t meet anyone he was interested in dating and wanted a refund. The agency denied his refund request. Tips Dating services are not licensed by a government agency. It is important to read and understand the terms of any dating contract and to know exactly what you are purchasing. • Does the contract allow refunds? Some agencies deduct an initiation fee on the day the contract is signed. Sometimes this fee is not

refundable once an introduction has been arranged by the company. • The agency may promise they have many clients who fit your profile. Find out how many active members are in the database. Ask about the percentage of members in your age group, profession, etc. • Understand that an introduction to another member does not guarantee compatibility. Lack of “chemistry” or “connection” with other clients does not necessarily mean the business failed to meet its contractual obligations. • There are many ways to meet new people and get out of a rut. Along with dating services, consider joining special interest clubs or service organizations or taking a class at a community college or adult education center. You can also pursue hobbies that enable you to meet people of similar interests. ********** For more information, visit the Palm Beach County Consumer Affairs Division’s Web site at pbcgov.com/consumer — don’t be the victim of a ripoff; be an educated consumer! o

Anita J. Cruz VP, WPRF, Inc.

Even though many of our residents are away for the summer, we are busy here and our Clubhouse still offers you many activities, both indoor and outdoor.  I invite you to stop by the main Clubhouse, day or night, and participate in classes, card games, billiards, hobbies and crafts, a well-supplied Library, movies and shows in the Theater (see The Happenings for dates and times), Karaoke on Tuesday and Friday nights, and much, much more. Please call our Staff Office for further information. In addition to the activities at the main Clubhouse, many of our residents enjoy getting in shape using the exercise equipment in the Hastings Fitness Center, taking one or more of the many fitness classes offered each weekday, or just meeting with friends for a game of cards or billiards on the second floor. We have trainers and fitness instructors on staff to assist everyone, even those who are new to fitness training. Of course, WPRF also maintains ten swimming pools to cool you off during these hot summer days — three at the main Clubhouse, two at the Hastings Fitness Center (one being the “Lazy River” resistance pool) and five other pools at Kent, Camden, Dorchester, Somerset and Southampton. Many of you have noticed the recent renovations to the Camden recreational area, which has now re-opened. The Camden Pool House (which is also the office of The Reporter)

has been re-roofed and new gutters have been installed together with other normal maintenance work, as well as painting of the building, awning and deck. New waterline tiles have been installed in the pool and it has been drained to acid wash, re-grout and perform other necessary maintenance. I’m confident that you will be pleased with the improvements you find. Just as we have done in Camden, each pool area will have normal repairs and maintenance performed on a rotating basis until each area has been refurbished. We cannot, of course, work on all pools in the same year due to budget restrictions; however, we have implemented a preventative maintenance schedule which will ensure that each area will be addressed both initially and thereafter on a regular, annual basis to maintain the facilities as they should be. So far, we have completed maintenance and repairs on the Hastings pool, the Clubhouse Resident pool and now the Camden pool and pool house. There is no substitute for regular, routine maintenance and repairs, and each completed area will be re-visited regularly to ensure that the work performed will last and provide years of service. It has been and continues to be my goal to improve the appearance, comfort and convenience of the recreational facilities here, concentrating on maintaining what we have whenever possible rather than replacing or adding new in an effort to keep costs down. We

have made some changes to our maintenance staff, and I’m pleased to report that we have energetic and hard-working employees, even in the summer heat! In addition to John (our Maintenance Director) and Norm, we now have Stan, Kyle and Jacob working in maintenance, together with Jay and Keith performing daily pool maintenance and repairs at all of our pools. I welcome your comments and suggestions with respect to repairs and maintenance, and I trust that you will see improvements each month to the appearance, functionality and comfort of your recreational facilities. Enjoy the rest of your summer and be well. o

The Devil in the White City by Erik Lawson is the true story of the building of the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. It also intertwines the story of a murderer who committed most of his crimes at the same time as the Columbia Exposition. Of course, the author took some liberties since he did not record any of the conversations quoted in this book. Lawson tells about the incredible efforts by many people to create a city within a city. He describes the monumental tasks by numerous architects, builders, landscape designers and politicians to build this Exposition. One must consider Daniel Hudson Burnham the hero of the Fair as he was ultimately responsible for the planning, construction and smooth running of the entire operation. We are introduced to such diverse people as Frederick Law Olmstead (the man who designed Central Park in New York City) who undertook the task of designing and overseeing the Expo’s parks and lagoons, to George Ferris and his incredible Ferris Wheel. The Wheel was built to outshine the Eiffel Tower which had been unveiled at the Paris Fair a few years earlier. Lawson described the lasting impact the Fair had on America from the first amazing skyscrapers to the mundane Cracker Jacks and Shredded Wheat. Very diverse, but just a few of the things that debuted there. The parallel story is of Dr. H. H. Holmes (an alias) who was the first notorious serial

killer in the United States. He was charming, handsome and cold-blooded and had no qualms about killing men and children, but mostly young women during the Fair. He was a psychopath who operated a “killing chamber” he had built not far from the fairgrounds. Though Burnham and Holmes never met nor had any connection, Lawson weaves their stories together. This book is for history buffs, architecture fans or for those interested in serial killers. As for me, not a perfect book, but well done. o

Mom Was Right: Wash Your Hands

In August 2005, researchers headed to six public attractions in Atlanta, Chicago, New York City and San Francisco. Their purpose was to see how often people washed their hands in a public restroom. The researchers also conducted a national telephone survey asking adults about hand-washing behavior. About 91 percent of those surveyed said they washed up, but the reality may surprise you. Based on overall observations at a New Orleans casino, about 90 women actually washed their hands after using the restroom compared to 75 percent of men. This number varied from location to location. Only 37 percent of men at an Atlanta baseball game washed after going to the restroom. Why conduct a hand washing study? According to the Centers for Disease Control, hand washing is one of the most effective tools to battle infectious diseases. This includes colds and influenza, which are spread by viruses as well as some caused by bacteria, fungi and parasites. Correct hand washing may help reduce the spread of colds, flu and infectious diarrhea. We also may stop the spread of antibiotic-resistance germs and serious, potentially life-threatening diseases like hepatitis. This is because most germs are transferred by handto-hand contact. A sick person coughs sneezes or blows his nose. You shake hands and then rub your eyes, nose or mouth. The germs from the sick person’s hands enter your body and start replicating. Before you know it, people all around have the same illness. When should you wash? You should wash your hands before preparing or eating food, treating a cut and tending

to someone who is sick. If you wear contact lenses, always wash your hands before inserting or removing a lens. You also should wash up after: • Going to the bathroom • Handling uncooked foods, especially raw meats, poultry and fish • Changing a diaper • Blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing • Handling garbage • Tending to someone who is sick or injured • Handling an animal or animal waste How should you wash? How you wash is just as important as when, but you don’t need antibacterial soaps for effective cleaning. The CDC recommends using liquid soap since bar soaps can harbor germs. Water temperature is less important than technique. First, wet your hands and apply the soap. Vigorously rub your hands together for 10 to 15 seconds, making sure that you clean between your fingers plus the front and back of your hands including wrists and under fingernails. You might consider a trick taught to young children and recite the alphabet while washing your hands to ensure spending enough time. Rinse well and dry your hands using a clean towel, paper towel or air dryer. To prevent dry skin, pat rather than rub the skin when drying and use lotion. While alcohol-based hand sanitizers are convenient, especially when soap and water aren’t available, you should avoid using them with young children. These liquids contain a high concentration of alcohol that children may accidentally ingest. To learn more about hand washing, visit the American Society for Microbiology’s Clean Hands Campaign website at www.washup.org. For referral to a physician, please contact Century Medical Care Center at 561-697-3131. o

An apple a day Keeps the doctor away But one thing is better, I know! It’s laughter, a tonic, A real high colonic, It banishes sorrow and woe! A giggle or two, Will do wonders for you, Forget that old annual check-up! Your spirits will soar, As you roll on the floor, And will bring your best from the neck up! An apple’s OK, You can eat one a day But always make room for some levity! A hearty guffaw, And a belly haw-haw, Will guarantee endless longevity! So indulge in some mirth, It reduces some girth, You’ll soon look like Barbie and Ken! Some jokes may be crummy But good for your tummy You’ll never need Ex-Lax again! Helen Siegler

Basic Disaster Supply Kit

Everyone needs to prepare for emergency situations, but shopping can be expensive and strenuous. Shopping for items a little at a time before an event can reduce the stress of recovery by avoiding long lines and empty shelves. Food: • 1 gallon of water* per person per day for at least 5 days, for drinking and sanitation • Sandwich bread (freeze until needed) • 2 cans of ready to eat soup • 1 box of crackers and/or granola bars • Dry cereal/Pop Tarts • 4 cans of fruit (2-4 pack) • 5 cans of meat (tuna, chicken, Vienna sausages, corn beef hash) • 4 cans of vegetables (beans, baked beans, corn, peas) • 1 jar of jelly or jam • 1 jar of peanut butter • 1 large can of juice (4 pack) • Instant coffee/tea/powdered drinks • Powdered or boxed milk * If you choose to use your own storage containers, choose two-liter plastic soft drink bottles — not plastic jugs or cardboard containers

that have had milk or juice in them. Sanitize the bottles by adding a solution of one teaspoon of non-scented liquid chlorine bleach to a quart of water. Swish the sanitizing solution in the bottle so that it touches all surfaces. After sanitizing the bottle, thoroughly rinse out the sanitizing solution with clean water. Fill the bottle to the top with regular tap water. If needed, add two drops of non-scented bleach to the water. Tightly close the container with the original cap. Be careful not to contaminate the cap by touching the inside with your fingers. Place a date on the outside of the bottle — replace every six months. Storage: • Large plastic zip-lock bags • Plastic wrap • Aluminum foil • Assorted plastic containers with lids • Heavy duty garbage bags • Waterproof portable container with lid (to store disaster supplies) Other Supplies: • Paper plates • Plastic or paper cups

• Plastic eating utensils • Tissues • 2 rolls of paper towels • 4 rolls of toilet paper • Liquid dish soap • Mosquito repellent • Sunscreen • Matches/lighter • 2 pairs of latex gloves • Broom, mop and bucket • Unscented liquid bleach Health: • 1 bottle of shampoo • 1 box hand sanitizer wipes • 1 tube of toothpaste • Deodorant • Extra supply of prescriptions • Oxygen • Contact lens solution • Extra pair of glasses • Extra hearing aid batteries • Items for denture care First Aid: • Antiseptic • Anti-diarrhea medicine • Aspirin and/or acetaminophen • Adult vitamins (if needed) • Hydrogen peroxide • Band-Aids (assorted sizes) • Roll of gauze or bandages • First aid tape • Petroleum jelly • Rubbing alcohol • Tweezers

Your Property: Before hurricane season, make a complete inventory of your valuables and personal property. Take a photo inventory and mail a copy to your out-of-town contact. This will be very important should you need to make an insurance claim. Be sure you put all your important papers together in a waterproof bag or plastic container: Photocopies of credit cards, insurance and Social Security cards. Don’t forget your insurance properties and other documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, three years of your IRS returns, mortgage, and wills, to name a few. Other Disaster Supplies: • Battery powered lantern • Battery powered radio • Flashlight(s) • Extra batteries (correct sizes) • Extra flashlight bulbs • Portable camp stove or grill — do not use inside • Fuel for stove and grill • Video or disposable camera • Fire extinguisher — know where it is in your building • Extra change of clothes

Special Needs Shelter: The county special needs shelter only accepts residents with a physical condition requiring medical or nursing care. • Need nursing assistance with medications or medical care assistance • Monitoring vital signs or medical condition or activities of daily living, but do not require hospitalization • Need constant electrical power for medical equipment Pre-registration is required for individuals needing to use the special needs shelter. Have Patience Damage after a hurricane is unpredictable. It can take several days — this is why you need supplies for at least five days, preferable to have 7-10 days of supplies. In some cases, it can take several days to restore power, phone, water and cable television. You should have a landline phone — cell and portable phones may not work. Prepare. Plan ahead. Ask your neighbor from upstairs to join you and keep you company. Don’t forget your out-of-state contact. o

Palm Tran Opens New Intermodal Transit Center

Kurt’s Opinions Kurt Weiss

A Meaningful Quorum In the most recent Delegate Assembly meeting, half of the Village’s Associations were not represented. Their Delegates simply did not show up. The same is true with regard to the meeting before last: Even when the 2009 Budget was discussed and voted on, 161 associations were not represented. The Budget was voted in by a mere 52%; the quorum amounted to 151 delegates. Half of the Associations had no say when it came to passing the Budget. The same disappointing picture presents itself in almost all previous assembly meetings. Our bylaws require a quorum of 141 seated delegates at any delegates’ assembly meeting, in order to lawfully conduct its business. This number is reduced to 117 in the months, May through September — five months in which 117 delegates decide any and all matters, financial or otherwise, brought before the Assembly. This is perfectly legal, but let me mention some important drawbacks. About half of our Associations — in most cases — are not represented. We have no input from them in many important deliberations. They do not participate in decision making in general and financial matters — they do not vote.

During the summer months (May through September), all matters are decided by 117 delegates out of 349 — 34% of all delegates. In all other months, this number rises to 141 out of 349 — 41% of all delegates. Records show that all through the year about half of all Associations do not bother sending their delegates to the Delegate Assembly meeting and in many cases their delegates are the President of the Association. This choice: We have to remedy this issue: or not? We can decide that this way we count a quorum is O.K. If they do not participate — tough on them. We can ask the UCO President send personal letters to the Presidents of the Associations whose delegates are AWOL and pressure them to assure their attending Delegate Assembly meetings. Or: We can change the way we achieve a quorum by counting the number of Associations represented, rather than individual delegates and require that on all decisions there must be at least 50% of all Associations present. This possibly would only work if we impose sanctions on non-cooperative Associations. UCO is doing a lot for the Associations — there ought to be a quid pro quo. o

Palm Tran’s new, passenger-friendly transportation transfer station is now open in Downtown West Palm Beach. A ceremonial ribbon-cutting event was held to mark the occasion May 8, 2009. More than 100 community leaders, transit professionals and public transportation advocates attended the event. The intermodal center was built adjacent to Tri-Rail’s West Palm Beach Station in Downtown West Palm Beach to improve connectivity between public buses and trains. Not only will the intermodal center improve transfers from Palm Tran to Tri-Rail, but it will connect commuters with Amtrak Trains, Greyhound Buses and the free trolley service operated by the City of West Palm Beach. Other features of the intermodal center include: • 18 bus bays; • Commuter restroom facilities and water fountains; • Seven covered bus shelters with benches and lighting; • An “Art in Public Places” project and • A “Kiss & Ride” passenger drop-off area. The completion of this center represents the beginning of the development of a “Transit Village” in West Palm Beach. The majority of the funding of the $9 million intermodal project, including the cost of construction, land, engineering and design, was provided by the Florida Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration. The first bus rolled into the intermodal transit center on Sunday, May 10. o

Great Minds Think Alike

by Dot Loewenstein Recently, a rumor surfaced that I was planning to run for President of UCO — don’t panic — I did not make any such decision. Let’s deal with facts, not rumors, no matter how humorous. However, it did start me thinking about some issues that need to be addressed, and the one I selected was “absentee delegates.” My first research revolved around the prior year’s listings of those associations that were not represented. Then they were input into my computer, by association name, as well as columns by month. This was quite time consuming because we have over 300 associations, the analysis portion began. There were a number of associations that were absent every meeting — can you guess how many? Well, since I did all the legwork, it can be shared with you: 72, which, if we use Kurt’s percentage system, would appear to be about 25% of the possible delegates. On to solutions. After all, what good is a problem without a solution? 1 — Get a list of all officers and delegates for each of the

above 72 associations — not just the president, not just the assigned delegate — how many people are listed as active? 2 — Divide up the list by quadrant among the current vice presidents, and have them phone each association. That would amount to 18 associations each, and possibly five phone calls per association. 3 — Make a chart with responses, such as: A — no one physically able to attend meetings B — they watch it on Channel 63 C — they read about it in the UCO Reporter D — they honestly don’t care Perhaps we don’t feel it productive to concentrate on only 72 associations, since many others are absent frequently. My analysis shows all associations, and the number of meetings they have missed, such as 9,8,7,6,5, etc. This information is in my computer, and I can share this with the vice presidents, if they feel it has any significance. Share your comments and opinions about this serious topic. An envelope left in the clubhouse Suggestion Box will reach me. o

Sleep Important for Seniors

As you get older, you need less sleep. Right? Wrong. According to the National Sleep Foundation, older Americans still need a good night’s sleep and that means seven to eight hours of solid sleep. Still many older adults report problems getting to sleep and staying asleep. Poor Health = Poor Sleep Health problems may contribute to your lack of sleep. For instance, the pain from arthritis may interfere with your sleep patterns as you age. An enlarged prostate or incontinence may mean more trips to the bathroom during the night which means interrupted sleep as well. Breathing problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and even heart disease may make it difficult to sleep. Other health conditions that may disturb your sleep patterns may include: • Osteoporosis • Heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) • Cancer • Diabetes • High blood pressure • Parkinson’s disease • Alzheimer’s disease • Stroke • Anxiety • Depression Certain medications also can disturb your sleep. These can include: • Antidepressants • Beta blockers • Bronchodilators • Calcium channel blockers • Corticosteroids • Cardiovascular medications • Decongestants (both prescription and over-thecounter) • Gastrointestinal drugs Alcohol, caffeine and nicotine may cause sleep problems. These can make it harder to fall asleep. If you notice sleep problems after consuming alcohol or caffeinated beverages or after using tobacco

products, try cutting down on your consumption. Lifestyle Changes May Help If you’re having problem sleeping, either going to sleep or waking during the night, you may want to keep a sleep diary. You should record the date and time for each entry. Then write down what’s happening to your good night’s sleep. Take this information to your next doctor’s appointment and share the information. It may help your doctor determine how to help you sleep better. Other ways to improve your sleep patterns is to get some exercise like walking, but don’t exercise just before bedtime since this will make it harder to get to sleep. Some people have found that exposure to at least two hours of sunlight every day can help with their sleep patterns. Napping, which may seem like a great solution to not sleeping at night, actually may cause more nighttime sleep problems. If you do need a nap, try to limit it to no more than 20 minutes. The Other Side of the Bed The cause of your sleep problems may be on the other side of the bed. If your partner is a loud snorer or has restless or disturbed sleep, that may be affecting your sleep. Snoring, while common, may indicate a serious health problem. If snoring isn’t tied to a health condition, you can try wearing earplugs, running a fan or playing soft music to help you get the sleep you need. A good night’s sleep doesn’t have to be a thing of the past. If you’ve been losing sleep, talk to your doctor. Good Samaritan Medical Center offers a sleep disorders laboratory that can help doctors diagnose sleep problems. For more information or a referral to a physician who specializes in sleep medicine, contact the Century Medical Service Center at 561-697-3131. o

Project Run Away

A small girl sat in front of the television watching a news program on a teenage runaway. “Mommy,” she asked. “Why do people run away?” The mother thought for a moment about the numerous reasons that teens run and then proceeded to try and explain in a way that her young daughter would understand. After the first few moments of explanation the small girl interrupted. “No Mommy, why do people run away? Do they have to run or can they walk away too?” From the Internet
