Southampton has a voice andis speaking loud and clear.A meeting organized by several owners of

Southampton units, was held at the Southampton

Pool on March 29, 201 5 with the purpose to

provide all Southampton owners with information

and evidence regarding our deeds restriction and

to hear what were their feel ings about creating a

new lawsuit in opposition of the proposed

development on the closed golf course.

I t became evident at the presentation that most

owners did not know their deed had a reference to

a specific book and page on the County Records

since January 1 974 that includes ALL

Owners attended and fi l led out questionnaires

or opposed to the proposed development and if

opposed, they were wil l ing to take action concerning

a new lawsuit.

The meeting was a success and the majority that

green gooey mush bobbing around in it. .

A statement in this month's UCO Reporter by

Eva Rachevsky indicates WPRF'S intention to

introduce carp in the lagoon to solve the algae

problem as carp are known eat algae.

Carp are a serious aquatic pest

whose feeding habits render ecosystems

uninhabitable for native fish species.

Common carp root around on the lake or river

bottom searching for food. Their presence in

an ecosystem is associated with a decrease in

shallow-rooted and soft-leaved aquatic

vegetation. The uprooting of vegetation and

stirring up of bottom substrate causes an

increase in turbidity (murky water with high

levels of suspended sediment).

Research indicates that as the number of

common carp in a water body increases, so

does turbidity, phosphorous , ammonia,

nitrogen, and chlorophyll . The suspended

sediments increase risk of disease, and

smother fish eggs.

The presence of common carp is associated

with reduced levels of vegetation, species that

require high densities of vegetation and high

water clarity wil l no longer have suitable

habitat.

The use of aerators in our pond wil l help,

Their effectiveness is reduced unless

measures are taken to improve water

circulation.

According to Purdue University:

aerators help remove phosphorous from your

pond water, which reduces the occurrence of

algae, but aeration alone wil l not prevent

algae growth entirely, particularly if

phosphorus continues to be introduced

into the pond. Your pond environment is

greatly improved if you add an aerator, but if

you don't address other factors that influence

algae growth, such as nutrients entering the

pond through grass clippings or ferti l izer

runoff, you'l l sti l l have problems with algae.

I am hoping that history does not

repeat itself in Century Vil lage. My gut feel ing is

that I 'm not going to get my wish. The secrecy

and stonewall ing of the current administration

reminds me of the attempted fleecing of the

vil lage by WPRF in collusion with the incumbent

president of UCO in the aftermath of the

hurricane that ravaged the vil lage in 2004. The

clubhouse was severely damaged and unusable

in the wake of the storm.

Mr Marshall , our trusted President

at the time, betrayed the vil lage by secretly

signing an agreement with Mr Levy of

WPRF, (who own the clubhouse,) to

charge residents in ful l during it's

reconstruction. The secret agreement

stipulated that in the event the clubhouse

was rendered unusable, the residents

were required to pay ful l dues, even though they

couldn't use the clubhouse.

I t was an obvious contravention of

the Mil lenium Agreement, which declared the

fees were to be reduced by 2/3 while the

clubhouse was out of service.

No one outside the inner circle

who made the secret agreement were aware

of it.

During reconstruction of the

clubhouse, Mr Levy insisted that the fees were

to be paid in ful l and that UCO would be picking

up the tab for the repairs. Warnings and threats

of dire consequences brought UCO to heel and

our money kept flowing in Mr Levy's direction.

Due to Bob Marshall 's secret

agreement, the residents were getting fleeced

for mil l ions of dol lars that they were not

responsible to pay, and had no inkl ing of the

dirty trick being played on them by their trusted

officers in UCO.

Feel free to draw your own

conclusions about Bob Marshall 's motivations.

Bob Marshall and Mark Levy kept

quiet about the secret agreement. I f Ed Black,

who was Vice President at the time knew about

it, true to form, he kept the conspiracy of

si lence. There were many in the vil lage who

knew the injustice of it al l , but few who were

wil l ing to take action to stop it.

Myron Solomon and I launched a

lawsuit to stop the blatant looting of our money

and recover monies wrongful ly handed over to

WPRF.

In the course of negotiating a

settlement we were never made aware of the

secret agreement. I discovered it years later

when I made a request for documents

from UCO. We were astounded when

the detai ls of the secret agreement were

final ly revealed .

The refund we won hardly

assuaged the bitter taste of the

treachery we endured .

I know this might seem like ancient

history, but I see the same kind of secrecy in the

present administration by some of the same

people who were there when the hurricane

struck.

I hope that one day we wil l have

an administration that is open and honest

instead of one that revels in secrecy and deceit.

Unless UCO and it's current crop of officers

open up and let the sun shine in, we are at risk

of being cheated in ways you or I never

imagined.

I sincerely hope that Century

Vil lage wil l see the truth, and the lesson, in al l

this and rid us of these scoundrels forever.

This is my first article about Century Village. There's so many things I see needing a little

TLC around here that one article is not big enough , so I'll be writing a lot more.

One thing I notice is that a lot of people get busy making a snowball then try to hand it to

me, I guess it's because they don't have the moxy to throw it themselves.

This is a snowball I made myself and now I'm going to throw it.

Being an old time sandhog tunneler from New York City, I believe in safety first.

I see the people walking out of the village at the Haverhill entrance, They cross the entrance

road by the guard house gate. I couldn't help but notice that the striping on that crosswalk needs to be

repainted because it's all worn out.

Geez, that's the next thing anyone sees when they come to Century Village after seeing the

wall at the entrance that looks like it was hit by artillery.

While the paint on the crosswalk fades away, the committees flutter around squabbling over

crumbs like the pigeons in my old neighborhood.

Who's to blame ? It could be the CAM or the vice presidents or some one on a committee or

whatever.

I hope they can figure out what to do with it before someone gets hit by a car. Drivers have to

yield to a crosswalk, but if they can't see it ? It could be the cause of a lawsuit that would make the lawsuits

against UCO look like chump change.

Maybe the board doesn't want to spend the money to paint it because they don't know what

they are going to do with the ratty paving job. Whatever the decide to do with the paving whether its re-

paving or topcoating, they'll have to restripe the whole village. The crosswalk should be repainted now

While the boards and committees have their meetings and donuts, there's real work being

ignored and snafus are everywhere.

Like my foreman in the tunnels used to say .. MAKE IT HAPPEN .. OR ELSE ! I can't

say that around here, some people might take it as a threat. But I can say: MAKE IT HAPPEN !

Letters to the Editor

1 3 Good Years at UCO

I wish to thank everybody who voted for me

for the Executive Board but I have to resign

due to Doctors advice.

I t is not fair to CV Vil lage Residents if I

cannot attend Meetings and voice my

opinion whether it's right or wrong. I see next

in l ine for the Executive Board is Stewart

Richland. Stewart is a retired Teacher and

Scholar. He knows what s good for CV

Vil lage and what is not. I wil l be remembered

as the guy that's popping up and taking your

pictures for the UCO Reporter. Once again

thank for voting for me. 1 0 years on

Executive Board and 3 years as Vice

President for UCO

Howie Silver

The Great and knowledgeable one, the UCO

President is missing the points and is

dragging all of us into a legal mire.Where

does he think that he has the inal ienable right

to deny the Lawsuits that are coming and put

us all in jeopardy? Remember UCO is us. We

have been told this a number of times by the

UCO Administration Whose advice is he

fol lowing The Advisory Committee? The

Executive Committee? The Delegates?I don't

think so. He is fol lowing his own knowledge

and experience. Is this to be trusted? Does he

have any experience? Does he have any real

knowledge? Are we going to stand and let a

man that has no experience in legalities, in

defending lawsuits to guide us in these

matters? There is plenty of good advice within

the Vil lage. There is Esther who is asking

good and concise and knowledgeable

questions, which are all ignored. There is Ed

asking terrific questions regarding how our

money is spent and what are the plans for the

future What is the problem bringing on all

these Lawsuits? I t is the lackof Freedom of

information. I t is the lack of Sunshine in the

UCO operations. What is wrong with being

free with information that shows how and

where our money is being spent? What are

they ashamed of? What are they afraid of?

Diogenes travels on, lantern held high, one

plodding step after another. His goal as

always; the truth, the explanation, the reason

why. Today Diogenesis is found walking

through the tropical paradise known as

Century Vil lage, West Palm Beach in the

sunny state of Florida.

He sought a paradise of legend

where beautiful waters reflect the blue of the

sky on a sunny day amid gardens of exotic

trees and flowers. I t was to be just that kind

of sunny day, so Diogenes eagerly awaited

the rise of the sun over

shimmering blue water. But

wait? What happened? Instead of

the blue, beautiful lakes he

expected .

He sees M..green?

Diogenes wipes his eyes, quaffs

a long draft from the flask of wine

on his belt, and looks again. He

sees waters that could use some

replenishment. "That wil l come

with the rains" he muttered, but

the color? The odor? The clogging fronds

ofMalgae?

Could this be the paradise of

green splashed with color and blue waters

that he had been led to expect? What went

wrong?

Thankful ly, Diogenes was able

to use his lantern to see ahead of him and

there he saw a man who had been trying to

fish off a bridge. The man was slowly shaking

his head. He explained, in answer to the

questions of Diogenes, that fishing was no

longer a great relaxant for him, at least not

here in the Vil lage. There is something wrong

with the water and the fish do not look

healthy, nor would I eat them. (Quite frankly,

neither would I, but I would not eat them even

if the water were back to blue! Too much runoff. )

Look at the algae, he said. I t is clogging up the

waters and lending itself to the growth of

stagnant and smelly water and where are my

little turtles whose tiny heads I used to see

peeking out of the water? My grandchildren love

to come here to watch them.

` Diogenes was able to contact some experts

and share his concerns with them. They

explained that the Vil lage had an arrangement to

get some recycled water to fi l l the lakes at times

of low water, a good thing,butM. This water had

some chemicals sti l l remaining in it as it

flowed into the Vil lage waterways, it is

those chemicals causing the problem in

the water. Diogenes praised the efforts

made to aerate the waterways, but

knows it is not enough. The vil lager's

priorities l ie elsewhere." Are the

vil lagers too distracted by their daily

rituals to realize that without the beauty

of the lake and it's sparkl ing waters in

the sunlight, without lakes teeming

with the precious gift of l ife there would

be a great big hole in the fabric of the Vil lage?

The experts said that testing by

outside sources and experts needed to be done

and plans made. I t is not yet too late, but time

was quickly moving on.

Diogenes sent a message to his

friends in the Vil lage.

I am moving on but wil l return. In

the meanwhile, please look to your surroundings

and do what must be done to bring back the

sparkl ing blue waters of your vil lage. Find a way

to force the cleanup of the inflowing water and

please, YOU MUST take into account that this

water sprays all over the Vil lage in irrigation and

fountains and hits not only the ground but often

people too. "Not good. Do something" he

muttered as he plodded ever onward.

The hole in the wall at the

Haverhil l entrance to Century Vil lage is sti l l

there!

David Israel commented on his

blog, denying ownership of the wall , putting the

onus on Mr Waldman (owner of the defunct golf

course) to make the neccessary repairs.

We were not so sure. We

checked the facts. Staff in the county offices

are of the opinion that the wall is in fact owned

by three separate entities. Century Vil lage,

Palm Beach County and Mr Waldman.

Does it real ly make a whole lot of

difference who actual ly owns it ? The cost of

repairs would be the responsibi l ity of the

person who did the damage. Someone has to

take the lead in getting it done. UCO seems

content to accept David Israel 's position.

Meanwhile the ugly, gaping hole

in the wall remains for the world to see.

YOU FIX IT ! ... NO... YOU FIX IT !

Are you tired of hearing that your passwords are

not strong enough? Well , they probably aren't. In

order to keep as safe as possible on the internet,

you need very strong passwords. They should

never contain your maiden name, your parent's

names, your children's names, birthdays,

anniversaries, mother's maiden name, etc, etc,

etc. So you think that if you make a very strong

password, you wil l have difficulty remembering it.

Not so. I t's doesn't have to be much of a problem

at al l . Why not pick out a l ine from your favorite

song or poem, or a favorite quote? For example,

one of my very favorite songs is Twil ight Time.

The first l ine of the song is; heavenly shades of

night are fal l ing, it's twil ight time. Take the first

letter of each word, and make that your

password. For the above song, that would be

'hsonafitt' Easy, isn't it? Now most passwords

require at least one number or alternate

character, so in the case of the password we just

created, we could satisfy that requirement by

changing what we have created just a l ittle bit.

Example: hs0n@fitt. I now have a number and

an alternate character in my password, and it's

sti l l very simple to remember. Why don't you give

it a try? But folks, please do not use the same

password for everything. That's a dangerous

thing to do. You can sti l l use only one song, or

one poem, and create many, many passwords

from it, by choosing l ine one for one password,

l ine two for another, etc

Bits and PiecesSo the UCO Treasurer has

announced that we have over paid to the tune of

$69,000 to UCO, maybe because of the change

in the budget year. So he wil l clear this up next

month. After he is done, wil l we see a refund?

I have not seen the refund for the

WiFi charges that were turned down by the

entire Delegate Assembly yet. As a matter of

fact the Delegates turned down the WiFi

initiative, which is the reason for the Wifi refund.

So how come the Great One in

room 1 01 at 21 02 is pushing his latest, the

Broad Band initiative? Which is just another

name for WiFi. Is he planning on switching the

WiFi money over to the Broad Band money? I

wouldn't put it past him.

So things at the UCO

headquarters are going swimmingly. We pay,

they collect, and all is good. Just ask the

knowledgeable one, David Israel.

How about this? The Aids and

Cleaning people can buy Gate Passes. The

passes used to cost $3.00 a quarter, now the

price is $4.50 a quarter. So why is there a

charge at al l . These are regular people that

have steady jobs in the Vil lage. Do the Seacrest

people pay? Do the Gardeners pay? So why

charge the Domestics? Gary Olman

BETTIE BLECKMAN'S POST OF THE RESIGNATION OF THE CRAGG'S -

REMOVED FROM DAVID'S BLOG.

This is a post that was left on the Our Vil lage blog belonging to David Israel. He almost immediately

removed it, which we knew would happen but I was able to get it and post it here and on my blog. I t

speaks of the resignation of John and Kitty Cragg when they were instructed that a very short,

minutes long, video of me talking about a book club, was withdrawn and no viable reason given.

This was delivered by the notorious Ed Black who by the way left another lovely message for me on

my blog. Guess your cough is better, huh, Ed. There was no mention or tie to any politics. This is

simply a continuation of David's attempt to rule the Vil lage, tel l us how to think, control over al l . Time

to stand up folks. For more info, just go to my blog.Esther Sutofsky
