The Atlantic Broadband

President’s
Report Begins Installation of
By Dave Israel Fiber-Optic Network
GRID MAP SHOWING NETWORK
INSTALLATION SCHEDULE

DIG WE MUST FOR
A BETTER CV!
On March 9, 2018, Atlantic
Broadband commenced work on the
new fiber-optic network overlay for
Century Village. This is a significant
project and will ultimately bring
hundreds of high-definition video
channels and optional Internet
bandwidth into each one of our 7854
apartments.
On this day we began a concrete,
and if I do say so myself, visionary
Telecommunications Master Plan
for Century Village. That led us to
adopt an incremental approach to
fiber-optic network construction.
The result will be a successful
“dig once” policy here in Century
Village, reducing the cost of laying
fiber by coordinating fiber and
conduit installation with other
projects.
For example, in addition to the
transmission of hundreds of video
channels into each unit, there will
be multi-megabit optional Internet
bandwidth, which in due course
will be available at rates of up to
one gigabit bandwidth. In addition
to this usual and normal network
construction, we will build out
cable drops to our irrigation system,
permitting centralized control of
the entire system. Of course, cable
drop terminal equipment will be of
our choosing, limited only by our
imagination.
Hopefully, in cooperation with
WPRF, we will cable into the
emergency telephone system at the
pools and upgrade the woefully
inadequate Wi-Fi system in the main
Clubhouse.
We will greatly enhance our
campus security, by cable drops to a
growing network of security cameras,
which will provide a significant
force-multiplier to our Security team
and PBSO, in the deterrence of crime
before the fact and the solution of
crime after the fact. We will upgrade
the technology in UCO, the guard
houses, and in the main Clubhouse,
with increased bandwidth, heretofore
unavailable.

So how is this project going to
proceed? Please see the grid map
showing the schedule for network
installation. Please note that the
Village is blocked into sections,
which are numbered from 1 to 14. So,
for example, numbers 1 – 2 equate
on the map to the Main Clubhouse
and Dover. Work on this section
has already begun, so the project is
ahead of schedule. The next block
is numbered 3 – 4 which equates to
Greenbrier and Southampton. So
this project schedule will proceed
throughout the year. As you
examine the Grid Network Map,
you will see many icons such as the
one depicted below. Aptly enough,
these are called “tombstones”!
They contain technical notations
such as radio frequency data and
Tombstone signal notations used in testing and
evaluating the network.
So observe, take pictures, and sooner than you think, the
new fiber-optic network will be in place, bringing to our
Village the finest entertainment experience ever, not to
mention the availability of super high-speed Internet.
WATCH—as the progress continues!

Thank You residents of Century
Village for re-electing me to represent
you as a UCO Vice-President. I will
continue to try to listen and help our
residents.
At this time it seems that most
of the associations have held their
annual meetings and elections.
For those who have come forward
to serve on their boards remember
that the officers of UCO are here to
help whenever we are needed. But
remember, each association answers
to their own residents. In this regard
UCO may be able to educate and
assist in finding answers to some
complex problems but, ultimately
your board makes the decision.
One way that I would like to be
able to assist is by attending a “coffee
hour” that our UCO president is
conducting to meet and greet the
residents. David Israel, in a relaxed
atmosphere is discussing the many
responsibilities that a board member
has to deal with and perhaps giving
them the necessary resources needed
to find the answers they need. Right
now I hope to be present when the
buildings in my quadrant are invited
to meet with him. My purpose is to
work with these officers and residents
as well. Especially I want to impress
on everyone in every building the
necessity of having access to a key
to all units in their building. When
there is an emergency don’t be put
in the position that there is no key
available. After all a person’s life
could be in danger! Most bylaws
clearly state that a key is required
from every unit with rules stating
when and how these units may be
accessed by the responsible officers if
necessary.
So fellow officers and residents
let’s have a great year, good health
and hapiness.
NEW OFFICE HOURS FOR THE UCO REPORTER:

FOLLOWING EMAIL ADDRESS: UCOREPORTERWPB@GMAIL.COM
CONGRATS to all that ran for
positions in UCO. It showed you all
cared. The BEST to all the people
that won and will be serving our
village.
AMR is a service that should be
used by our residents if possible. If
the Palm Beach Emergency comes
and find you stable they will call
AMR. If you use AMR there will
be no charge for transport. If you
are at a hospital and have to go to
a rehab, a prescription from your
doctor for transport to the rehab
will allow AMR to take you without
charge. The same procedure is used
for leaving a rehab. If you have any
questions please call AMR or the
UCO office and ask to speak to me.
I will try to have Ms. Kirkwood from
AMR to come to the village and have
a answer and question lecture.
If you want to get involved with
your village come to our meetings at
UCO, they open to all residents. Also
you can view them on David’s Blog
and on channel 95.
I hope by the time you read
this paper you will see the NEW
LOOK at Haverhill. Thanks to the

let me know how you like it.

Wishing everyone a Happy
Passover and a Blessed Easter.
There is a lot that happens around
the Village that we cannot control.
Hurricanes, violent rain storms,
garbage that contractors dump on
lawns, dog walkers that do not have
the common decency to pick up after
their pets, residents that feed the
ducks, bike riders that race along
without concern to walkers and
bathers that do not follow Village
rules.
But the one thing we have in
common is that we live in Century
Village and want to enjoy our life
style what ever that is. What I have
been listening to over the past few
months are complaints between unit
owners and condo boards. I ask each
visitor to my office do you have a copy
of your associations by-laws? Are they
current? Do your by-laws contain
amendments to cover your issue? For
unit owners, reading your documents
provides you the knowledge that is
necessary for resolving many of your
issues. However, there are many
association board members that are
totally inflexible in the way they run
their building. There-in the problem.
I have one suggestion for conflict that
arise out of looking at issues that
are creating problems. If you want
to bring an end to long standing
conflict, you have to be prepared to
compromise.
Life is mingled with opposites.
Right presupposes wrong. It is these
mingled opposites with people in our
life that make it pungent. When you
are in conflict with someone, there is
one factor that can make a difference
which would lead to deepening your
conflict or resolving it. That factor is
attitude and a willingness to listen
and compromise. Think about this
before you begin to scream and
holler
I would like to thank all of those
who supported me in my run for
UCO Vice President. I also want to
say thanks to all of those who ran
for office. It was just fantastic to
see the large turnout at the Delegate
Assembly! I hope that this is a
trend that continues all through the
year. My fellow officers, staff and
volunteers have been very patient and
kind to me as I am getting my feet
wet in the new position. Whether
you are in my quadrant or not, I look
forward to seeing you, even if it’s just
to say Hell-o. Remember it is our
Village. Stay well.
ALL BUS RIDERS
NEED TO HAND
ID PASS TO
DRIVER
With the new scanner
system now in place
it is necessary to hand
your Century Village ID
to the driver so he can
scan it into computer.
We know that many
of our riders have
found it convenient
with packages and
walking aides to wear
the ID around their
neck, pinned to their
clothing or in their
wallets. However,
with this new system
in place the driver
needs to hold your
ID. This new system is
designed to give us an
accurate count of the
number of riders and
what bus routes can be
improved.

D e a r
Residents,
Picnic Island
is a beautiful,
picturesque
area and the
perfect place to
have a Group or
Club event. In season (November
– March) the Island is used as a
second Party Room by many. There
is a sign, as you come onto the island,
that reads “DURING SEASON
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED
FOR THE USE OF THE BARBECUE
AREA AND CAN BE MADE AT THE
STAFF OFFICE”. Recently a group
with a reservation arrived to find
that a group of residents, without a
reservation, had set up on the island.
Tempers flared with the one group
refusing to give way to the group
with the reservation. Security had to
be called to help handle the situation.
In an effort to clarify matters, I will
be putting up more signs designating
two picnic areas. The main picnic
area is straight ahead as you enter the
island. This is easy to identify as this
area has the large built-in grills. The
second smaller picnic area will be to
the left of Picnic Area 1 down by the
pier. To create this smaller area, I will
add three decorative concrete tables
with benches. The reason for the
concrete tables is that these weightier
tables will preclude residents from
moving them over to Picnic Area 1.

The Fourteenth, the Second and the Sixth

CO M M E N TA RY BY I R V I N G R I KO N

February 14, Valentine's Day.
The year was 1929. The time was
the Prohibition Era. Gangs made
money selling illegal booze, as
today gangs sell illegal drugs and
pills. In Chicago, several unarmed
bootleggers, gang members, were
lined up, facing a garage wall, as they
had been ordered to do by at least two
men wearing police uniforms. These
were not police. They belonged to a
rival gang who felt the bootleggers
were trying to infringe on its
territory, taking away its profits.
Holding two Thompson submachine
guns, the AR-15 of its day, and two
shotguns, they fired, killing seven
people. Witnesses later reported
seeing two police officers leading
out some men wearing regular street
clothes. All were gangsters, and all
made their getaway in a stolen police
car. The event came to be known as
the Valentine's Day Massacre.
February 14, Valentine's Day, 89
years later. It's now 2018. For lack of
a better description, this time is the
Donald Trump Era, although the two
major political parties, Republican
and Democrat, are sharply divided
within themselves. In Parkland,
Florida, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale,
at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School, a 19-year-old former
student, acting alone, fatally shoots
seventeen unarmed innocent people,
mostly children. It's the latest
Valentine's Day Massacre.
In a way, little has changed in
America during those 89 years. True,
today booze is legal. Most drugs are
legal. But guns which were then and
are now legal are still being used to
kill people.
Hoodlums and innocents are not
the only victims. Four United States
presidents have been assassinated by
gunfire: Abraham Lincoln in 1865;
James A. Garfield in 1881; William
McKinley in 1901; John F. Kennedy in
1963. Theodore Roosevelt, while not
in office, but campaigning, was shot.
He survived, as did Ronald Reagan
in 1981, following an assassination
attempt. Assassination attempts
have been made against other
presidents. In very recent memory
two congressional legislators, a
woman and a man, have been shot.
Go back to 1585 when the
English tried and failed to establish
a permanent colony in what is
now Roanoke, Virginia. Or go to
1620 when the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth, Massachusetts. "The
New World" which would in 1776
become The United States was
a frontier society. It was a new
frontier with new battlegrounds in
which Europeans: -- British; French;
Spanish; Dutch -- fought the old
wars they had long fought in Europe.
Additionally they fought "Indians,"
a name applied because Christopher
Columbus in 1492 thought he had
sailed to India. Only recently have
the indigenous people been called
"Native Americans," for that term
would imply Europeans had invaded
and conquered their lands. As in
pre-Biblical times in the Old World,
The Near East and Africa, Europeans
captured and held slaves. They did
all this with the help of weapons the
indigenous and slave populations
did not have: Guns.
Guns were first invented by
the Chinese sometime during the
eleventh or twelfth century. Their
usage spread westward on the Asian
continent and into Europe. Personal
firearms were available in the
fourteenth century.
Still a frontier society, fighting
European powers and native
Americans in the New World, on
December 15, 1791, the United
States Congress adopted The Second
Amendment to the Constitution. It
reads:
"A well regulated Militia, being
necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of people to keep and
bear Arms shall not be infringed."
(The italics are mine).
One dictionary definition of
Militia is "citizens trained for
military service, as distinct from
professional soldiers, and called out
periodically for drill but serving full
time on active duty when there is an
emergency". In our day, this would
apply to the National Guard. Local
police, always on active duty, are
surely perceivable as a form of militia.
Arming teachers, as President Trump
proposes, is not militia.
The 19-year-old who pressed
the gun trigger of a weapon that
killed seventeen unarmed innocent
people in Parkland, Florida, has
been described by some politicians
and media as having "Mental
Health" issues. No doubt that is
true, but it must not be denied that
The Gun killed. A gun -- a firearm
-- is distinctive. Its only reason for
existence is to kill. In recent times,
innocent people have been stabbed
to death by knives, deliberately run
over by vehicles driven into crowds,
slaughtered by airplanes crashed into
Manhattan's World Trade Center
and Washington, D. C.'s Pentagon.
But knives, vehicles and aircraft have
other, practical uses. Guns exist
solely for the purpose of killing.
As regards mental health, yes, it
is a real issue. But why is it? What
are its causes? Genetic or chemical
imbalance in a given individual is
one cause. The environment -- the
culture -- is another. In the Judeo-
Christian tradition, the main tenet
of the faiths is to love God, which
is the First Commandment, and to
Love thy Neighbor as thyself, which
is The Second Commandment. As
regards people, the word "Love,"
in contemporary usage, is possibly
too strong. "Regard," "Respect,"
"Esteem" might be more appropriate.
The trouble here is that real and
potential killers regard themselves as
unworthy. They lack self-respect and
self-esteem. The truth is they don't
even love themselves. They haven't
been taught sufficiently by their
parents, their school teachers, their
clergy of the many American houses
of worship and prayer that they are
worthy and lovable, not just by God
but also by the people around them.
They should love in return because
it is their nature -- human nature --
to love. Not to love is going against
human nature. All humans are of
one soul, a community, a world that
likewise has a soul. All of us, together!
All life is sacred, sacrosanct!
How deficient we are in this
kind of teaching! It should be
taught in earliest childhood in
every household and continually be
taught throughout life! Those who
do not know such fundamentals
can easily be persuaded to become
jihadists and killers. Their own
minds have already convinced them
that someone or something has
done them wrong or committed an
injustice against them.
I wrote in an earlier column that
I am not opposed to private gun
ownership. For reasons inferred,
some folks might find it necessary to
have guns at home or place of business
as a defense or self-protection device.
I am opposed to guns or weaponry
of any kind outside private homes
or businesses, in public places where
people gather, people who should
have every right to feel and be safe.
Referring to the latest Valentine's
Day Massacre, today's children
chant, "Never again!"
The Sixth Commandment in
the Holy Bible is "Thou shall not
kill". The Commandment number
may vary for some readers, but the
meaning is forever the same. Those in
our society who favor guns, and more
guns without restrictions, -- guns,
the only purpose of which is to kill,
-- might call themselves "Christian"
or "Jew". But since they choose to
ignore or disobey the tenets of their
professed faith, really, of what faith
are they?

Waterfowl of various types inhabit
our region. Visible near the ocean are
pelicans. Someone, not I, long ago
wrote:
"A wonderful bird is the pelican.
It's bill can hold more than its
belican (belly can)".
We've several species of waterbirds
and wading birds. Ibises are generally
but not exclusively white. They have
long necks and feet, the feet so skinny
I wonder how bones, muscles, blood
vessels, and nerves can fit into such
a narrow passageway. On land ibises
are amusing to watch. They usually
band together in a small flock of a
dozen or so sweeping across lawns
and eating, yet staying so close to
each other as almost to seem a single
unit. Sometimes they cross a street
to get to another lawn, but they walk,
despite having big wings.
Speaking of long necks, I was once
pinched by a swan. I was lakeside,
feeding a few ducks, and hadn't
noticed it. But apparently it nipped
me because I wasn't feeding it.
Swans are graceful and lovely to look
at in the water, yet they are known
for having a temper. (Among birds,
the wingless African ostrich has the
longest neck. Its head can be nine
feet above ground. Its big feet enable
it to run over 40 miles an hour).
Parrots are occasionally seen
in South Florida, usually but not
always as pets. Having many colors,
they're beautiful to human eyes, and
they can be trained to speak human
words, (not so with mockingbirds).
Also from time to time come
birds of prey. We have owls, ever
interesting to see for the reason they,
alone among bird species, have eyes
looking forward, straight ahead,
not on the sides as other birds do.
Vultures occasionally pause to rest
here when they fly north-south and
vice versa.
In my travels I've come upon
penguins, another wingless bird.
On land they look like awkward
young men dressed in formal attire
going to a prom. In the water they
swim like fish, their wings having
evolved into flippers. I once saw a
lone baby penguin in Argentina and
spoke gently to it. Then I bobbed my
head from side to side. It imitated
my movements. Soon a park ranger
approached and said I should not
be doing that. So I stopped. But I
wondered: Had I taught the kid a
new language?
On one of Indonesia's islands,
Laura and I viewed a large caged bird
of a type that was unfamiliar to us.
When it saw Laura, it kept repeating
her name: "Lau-ruh! Lau-ruh! Lau-
ruh!" That experience was rather
eerie. Was this the bird's natural call
or, if one believes in reincarnation,
had they met in a former lifetime?
Finally, there were the birds not
seen. In Peru, among other tropical
places, lives a bird called the "blue-
footed booby". On average three feet
in height, with a five-foot wingspan,
it's an aquatic bird, rather clumsy on
land, and has blue feet. According
to those who study such matters, the
bluer the feet of the male the more
sexually attracted is the female. But
I've not come upon one of these
"live". Another bird I hoped to see but
didn't was the black condor, a species
of eagle or vulture that can have a
wingspan of fourteen feet! Perhaps
it's best not to have encountered that
one.
Then there's the dodo bird:
"Dodo bird, Dodo bird, was you
da missing link?
Tell me, tell me, I ain't heard how
you become extinc'.
Dodo bird, Dodo bird, I really
sympathize.
I'll put in my good word: You
was the nicest guys."
I wrote that.

Connie Kurtz:
A Century Village Creative Star
BY BETH BAKER

Connie Kurtz was one of the fourteen
artists whose work was displayed on
our clubhouse walls in our first show
in August 2008. Since that time,
165 Century Village artists have
displayed their work in 34 shows to
date. All 34 shows had her paintings
or collages and often quilts too.
Connie also participates in Century
Village Arts & Craft shows.
Connie teaches us that a tree
isn’t just green, but it contains the
colors of the sky and the civilization
around it. She sees things not
specifically, but in their creative
form.
In Brooklyn, she and her
spouse, Ruthie had a Center for
Women’s Talk in Brooklyn. Connie
designed a flyer for a discussion.
She made pictures to depict words
or vice versa. She wanted to blend
things. She designed wedding
invitations for special people in her
life, using parts of the photographs
of the people along with magazine
pictures that spoke to her. She used
collage to make Ruthie’s Bat Mitzvah
invitation. Years ago, she didn’t
realize that collage is an art form.
Connie loves cutting shapes,
and then piecing them together.
Connie has a need for uniqueness
and creativity. She does not want
to replicate work of others. Simple
things have no appeal to her.
Connie has had a few art
classes as she wanted to learn to
better express herself. The best
advice that she was given by the
teacher was to “just keep doing what
you are doing.” In other words, just
express yourself as you wish to do.
She was told to sign her artwork, still
forgets, and has to sign on the back
at the art patron’s request. Connie
works from inspiration, so the actual
producing, especially of a watercolor,
does not represent the time involved
in its creation. She has sold work
and made a name for herself locally.
When Connie came to Century
Village about 15 years ago, there was
a painting class she would attend.
She had done a little painting in
Brooklyn copying someone else’s
picture. Then she took a watercolor
class. She loved being with a group
for its socialization as it was a good
way to make friends.
Tuesday mornings she
visited with friends at their quilting
group gathering in the sewing room,
which still meets there. While they
quilted, she painted or just talked.
To share her love of quilting, her
friend, Marilyn Sussman, gave her
some fabric, and others gave her
needle and thread. At JoAnn Fabrics
she fell in love with fabric as an
additional creative endeavor. The
women continue to be helpful, and
encouraging. They taught her to
make patterns, but she is happiest
making designs of her own. She
makes quilts to sell and to give as
gifts.
Many years ago, Connie taught a
class at the library. She asked them to
consider various many options, such
as “If you were (are) a flower, what
would you be?” She had them write
it down. She then told them to use
their imagination to create a collage
from the magazines of what you are.
This was a difficult concept for most
people to conceptualize. Not for
Connie! She has a sense of humor
and loves repartee. Humor is the
way to balance tears. She is always
willing to show up and show off. She
is genuine. She says: “Everything is
who I am. When I speak publicly, I
speak as Connie.”
Connie has exhibited in galleries.
She enjoyed participating in the
Riverbridge Art shows, but although
still a member, they no longer have
art shows. Connie has had two one-
person shows across the street at the
Tennis Club. I recalled her work in
the Lake Worth art gallery scene.
Connie’s joy is in producing art
objects.
Since her spouse, Ruthie
Berman, is encouraging more
quilting, Connie got her a magnetic
needle pickup for her birthday.
Honoring and remembering when
the Headstart program in Westgate
gave Connie and her friends a place to
quilt, she continues to support them.
Families need household items and
clothes which Connie gathers and
brings to them. Talk to Connie if you
want to help.
You can honor Connie, by
looking at the walls of the Clubhouse,
and letting her know you like what
she created for our enjoyment.

CURLING, ANYONE? APPARENTLY SO
B Y L A N N Y H O W E ( A C T U A L LY M O S T LY B Y M Y B R O T H E R A R T H U R )
Several months ago I wrote about
this weird sport of curling, which my
brother Arthur and his wife Paula
have taken up, and which is even one
of the sports featured at the Winter
Olympics. Asked to write something
further about it, my first thought was
WHAT?
I had no trouble finding WHAT.
Sam Milham told me about the
doping scandal at the recent
Olympics (unbelievable!), and Arthur
some of the intricacies of the sport,
how it is expensive and inexpensive at
the same time, and how an unknown
South Korean women's team won the
silver medal.
Curling is about the slowest sport
imaginable. It consists of sliding
a 44-pound flattened round stone
down the ice and having your stone
remain in the middle of a designated
"target" area. It's like bowling except
you and your opponents take turns
doing this in the same "alley."
Knocking your opponents' stones
out of the target area is part of the
strategy.
At the Olympics:
Two things were notable about
the Olympics: A Russian curler was
stripped of his bronze medal after
being found guilty of doping with
meldonium, a drug supposed to
improve blood flow. Even his fellow
curlers couldn't explain it. What did
he think, that he was going to have to
hurl the stone as if it were the shot
put?
The other surprise was the new
women's curling team from South
Korea, the host nation. It was not until
as recently as 2006 that South Korea
caught onto the sport of curling. "In
a small town known for its garlic
production, someone built a curling
rink for youngsters to learn the
game," explains Arthur. "Although
most people in South Korea had
never seen the game of curling, a
very talented team emerged of girls,
all from the same school and two of
them sisters. Not unusual in Korea,
they all shared the common last
name of Kim. Inevitably, as their true
talent and team personality emerged,
while eating breakfast together, they
decide to adopt nicknames so as
not to confuse people outside their
country. Annie was the skip, but the
three other team members decided
to adopt nicknames related to their
favorite breakfast. They became
affectionately known as Steak,
Pancake and Yogurt.
"The coaches kept them sheltered
from international attention so they
could concentrate on improving
and avoid the complications of
the limelight. As they became
superstars, the girls were for the
most part unaware. The curling
world was totally surprised when
these bubbly personalities became
heroes of their host country when
they defeated Japan and eventually
won the silver medal over teams that
had dominated women's curling for
many years."
The curling equipment, by
Arthur:
"The sweeping aspect of curling
is where the vigorous activity
takes place. This can make a huge
difference with the top curlers, a
lesser but still important difference
with 'club curlers.' Changing the
route of a stone by just 1/4 inch often

PASSOVER
(PESACH) 2018
BY BOBBI LEVIN
Passover falls on the Hebrew
calendar dates of Nissan 15-22.
This year, it will begin at sundown
on Friday, March 30 and will end at
sundown on Saturday, April 7.
The main ritual of Passover is the
seder, which occurs on the first two
nights of the holiday (in Israel on just
the first night). The seder is a festive
meal that involves the re-telling
of the Exodus through stories and
song and the consumption of ritual
foods, including matzoh and maror
(bitter herbs). The seder’s rituals
and other readings are outlined in
the Haggadah. Pronounced: huh-
GAH-duh, it is the “telling ” or
“recounting.” of the story of the
Exodus.
Observing Passover involves
intense dietary changes, mainly the
absence of chametz or foods with
leaven. (Ashkenazi Jews also avoid
kitniyot, a category of food that
includes legumes.)
Chametz includes any food
product or recipe made with
wheat, oats, rye, barley and spelt..
Unleavened bread (matzoh) takes the
place of chametz during Passover.
Although matzoh is made from
wheat flour, the process used to
“cook” the matzoh from the time
liquid is added to the flour to the
time the matzoh is baked lasts no
longer than 18 minutes to make sure
that no leavening occurs.
The seder plate holds at least six of
the ritual items that are talked about
during the seder: the shankbone,
karpas, chazeret, charoset, maror,
and egg.
The roasted lamb shankbone
(zeroah), commemorates the paschal
(lamb) sacrifice made the night the
ancient Hebrews fled Egypt.
Roasted egg: The roasted egg
(baytsah) signifies springtime
and renewal. Another popular
interpretation is that the egg is like
the Jewish people: the hotter you
make it for them, the tougher they
get.
The most common maror (“bitter
herb”) is horseradish. Bitter herbs
bring tears to the eyes and recall the
bitterness of slavery. The chazeret
(“khah-ZER-et”) is a second bitter
herb, most often romaine lettuce,
and its symbolism is the same as that
of maror.
There’s nothing further from
maror than charoset (“kha-ROH-
set”), a sweet mixture of apples, nuts,
wine, and cinnamon that represents
the mortar used by the Hebrew slaves
to make bricks.
Karpa, a green vegetable, usually
parsley, symbolize the freshness
of spring. Some people eat it to
make them feel like the nobility
or aristocracy who were the only
people who could afford fresh green
vegetables.
Salt water symbolizes the tears
and sweat of enslavement, though
paradoxically, it’s also a symbol for
purity, springtime, and the sea, the
mother of all life. Often a single bowl
of salt water sits on the table into
which each person dips their karpas
during the seder.
Perhaps the most important
symbol on the seder table is a plate
that has a stack of three pieces of
matzot covered with a cloth. People
have come up with numerous
interpretations for the three matzot.
Some say they represent the Kohen
class (the Jewish priests in ancient
times), the Levis (who supported the
priests), and the Israelites (the rest
of the Jews). During the struggles of
Soviet Jewry, a fourth piece of matzah
was added to the seder plate to
symbolize the struggles of Jews who
were not yet free enough to celebrate
the Passover. Today, some families
still use that fourth matzah as a way
of remembering all people who are
not yet free to celebrate as they wish.

Nutrition and Health
Little Wonders
BY J E AN I E W. FR I E DM AN , MS R D LD/N
Good things really do come in
small packages.
Nuts, legumes, and seeds have
served for thousands of years as a
valuable source of food for both
humans and animals. Rich in
protein, minerals, and healthy fats,
they had provided energy as well as
nourishment. As a source of both
mono and polyunsaturated fats,
these foods can help protect against
cardiovascular disease. In addition to
being nutritious, they taste delicious
and most people (the ones who are
not allergic) include them as part of
a healthy diet. Vegetarians rely on
non-animal sources of protein since
meat consumption is either limited
or avoided.
You may have heard people use
the words “nuts” “legumes” and
“seeds”, but may have wondered
what the difference is between them.
Although these plant products are
used interchangeably sometimes,
there are differences based on their
botanical classifications. Sometimes,
there is not one category for them to
fit neatly into.
• Condominium and HOA Law
• Estate Planning
• Wills and Trusts
• Probate
• Revocable Trust Agreements
• Durable Powers of Attorney
Nuts
Nuts are a single dry fruit which
are contained in a hard shell. Usually,
they do not let go of their shells easily
and require a nutcracker to extract
them out. They include a variety of
types like acorns and hazelnuts. But
for food and cooking purposes, this
category is much broader, including
Brazil nuts, cashews, walnuts,
pistachios, and many more types.
Legumes
Legumes are contained in a pod
and open along two seams. They also
contain more than one fruit within
each pod. Peanuts and pea pods are
very well-known types of legumes.
Seeds
Seeds contain the embryo within
them and they also have a protective
coating on the outside. Some
examples include pine nuts, sesame
seeds, and sunflower seeds.
How to Include Nuts, Legumes,
and Seeds in Your Diet

to these items, besides snacking out-
of-hand, here are some other ways to
enjoy them:
• Instead of just peanut butter, try
almond, macadamia, or cashew
butter. Even sunflower seed butter
can be a new option
• Add walnuts, chickpeas, almonds,
pecans, or sunflower seeds to
your salads for added texture and
crunch
• Dip fruit into nut butters for
added protein with your snacks
• Lightly toast (they can burn
quickly) nuts and seeds on a
baking sheet before eating;
toasting brings out a richer, deeper
flavor
• Toss in some walnuts or almonds
on top of oatmeal, along with or
fresh fruit
• A fruit and nut stuffing is a
different twist on plain bread or
cornbread stuffing
• Add cashews or peanuts to a stir
fry. Experiment with different
types
• Smash nuts into a fine powder and

mix with bread crumbs to make a
coating for fish and meat
• Roast pecans or almonds and
top sweet potatoes or butternut
squash
• Grind up nuts finely to use in
sauces like pesto. Think beyond
just pine nuts!
• When baking a fruit crisp or a
crumble, top with chopped nuts
• Toss in almonds or peanuts into
pastas or sautéed vegetables like
green beans, broccoli, spinach.
The sky’s the limit
• Bake them up in a quickbread or
muffin
• Scoop in a spoon of nut butters to
smoothies for added protein
• Combine them with dried fruit
for a tasty trail mix

placed. Just to set the record straight.
Not a single Japanese-American
had assisted in the Japanese strike
at Pearl, nor committed any crime.
Their crime was being Japanese or an
American of Japanese parents.
The prevailing attitude towards
the Japanese can be summarized by
the statement made by General John
L. DeWitt, who was in charge of the
army on the West Coast at the time,
“ In the war in which we are now
engaged, racial affinities are not
served by migration. The Japanese
race is an enemy race.”
One aspect on fighting a war
that is sometimes overlooked is the
war waged on the social front. This
involves the methods and techniques
that stir the civilian population to
totally support the war effort. This
means that every aspect of social
communications is instilling in
the minds of Americans a strong
nationalistic pride for their country
as well as an incendiary hatred for
the Japanese. This is done with the
help of the media, newspapers, radio,
books, posters and movies. Much
of this output was racist, depicting
the Japanese as racially inferior in
contrast to the United States which
is the civilized one. Two examples to
illustrate that propaganda slogans
and statements were a driving force
in awaking human emotions are: “…a
date that will live in infamy,” and
Admiral William Halsey’s famous
slogan: “ Kill Japs, kill Japs, kill more
Japs.” The most famous of them all
was “Remember Pearl Harbor”—keep
“em dying.”
Each day the population was
flooded with information from radio,
film, newspapers and advertisements.
We are slowly bombarded with
propaganda which tells us how
to think, feel and behave. It is all
designed to stir up a common sense
of purpose under which people can
act.
If a picture is worth a thousand
words, then the images generated
from the propaganda machine of
the government speak volumes. For
those of you that were born after
WWII and are interested in the
types of poster propaganda that was
used during this time, I suggest you
Google, posters used in WWII, and
decided for you self as how powerful
a medium this was in rousing
Americans to support the war.
Radio and film, however, may
have been the most effective e means
of reaching its audience, simply
by virtue of its medium. Moving
pictures, audible words and music
brought life to the propaganda
compared to the static image of a
book or poster.
In 1942, Frank Capra produced
a series called, “Why We Fight,”
which was commissioned by the
U.S. Military. All of these films are
available on the You-Tube.
The art of persuasion is a valuable
tool, which, if controlled and
mastered, could turn collective minds
of an entire people. For example, the
number of war bonds sold depended
on how well it was advertised and who
saw them. In movie theaters all over
the United States, theater managers
would turn the house lights on after
an anti-Japanese war film was shown,
while the audience was distraught
and angry and would then begin to
sell war bonds to the theater goers.
How well did the United States
do in the propaganda war, well we
won the war. Hollywood did an
outstanding job in the propaganda
front. Some of the films produced are
described below. Many of these films
can be found on downloading sites,
Netflix and Youtube.
Hollywood producer-director
Frank Capra led the way in the anti-
Japanese propaganda campaign. In
1945 he produced a film for the Signal
Corps which intended to acquaint
the American with his Japanese
counterpart. It was 63 minutes long
and starred Walter Huston, Dana
Andrews.
One of the most flagrant
American anti-Japanese propaganda
films utilizing the racial stereotypes
common for the period was My
Japan. It was used to help sell war
bonds
Walt Disney studios also
contributed to the propaganda
machine. Bugs Bunny Rookie.
Revue, You’re a sap, Mr. Jap,
showing Popeye’s sailing out in the
Pacific, spoiling for a fight with the
Japanese. He comes across with what
looks a Japanese fishing boat, but,
just before Popey lets loose with the
old fists, the Japs offer him a peace
treaty. Popeye’s all for peace, but
are the Japanese men of their word?
Seein’red, white ‘n blue, Bugs Bunny
nips the the nips, Life of Sad Sack,
Victory thru Air Power, Scrap Happy
Daffy, Ductators, Tokio Jokio were
some of the Disney studio offerings.
Just type the name on You-tube
and you can see them all. The U.S.
government took over the Disney
studios from 1941 – 1945 as part
of the war effort. They produced
educational films “Victory Through
Air Power” and some full length
animated films, Donald gets drafted,
Army mascot – Private Pluto and Fall
out, Fall in.
In the Uncle Sam collection you
will find films with the content
dealing with the marines in Tarawa
filmed by combat photographers
and the Hollywood canteen starring
Dinah Shore (1944, 5 min) and Jap
zero with Ronald Reagan (1942, 17
min.)
The government produced U.S.
Battle and American Morale films
which was supposed to keep the
home fires burning and sell War
Bonds. Letter from Bataan starring
Susan Hayward (1944, 14 min)
Avenge December 7 (1942, 2 min)
D-Day minus one (1945, 17 min)
It can’t last, written by Archibald
MacLeish (1944, 19 min)
In 1942, John Huston produced
Across the Pacific, starring Humphrey
Bogart, Mary Astor and Sidney
Greenstreet. Bogart played a cynical
Army officer, given a dishonorable
discharge and sent undercover to
hook up with Japanese sympathizers
on the eve of Pearl Harbor.

John Wayne, Anthony Quinn, Beulah
Bondi and Richard Loo. After the fall
of the Philippines in WWII, Colonel

Francisco, submarine captain
Cassidy unseals his top secret
orders and reads two fateful words.
Destination Tokyo. This is a powerful
and sometimes humorous portrait
of American submarine servicemen
during WW2.
Flying Tigers (1942) With John
Wayne, John Carroll. Story about
US volunteer pilots that fought the
Japanese in China before the US
entered WW2. This was based on
a true story of the American pilots
known as the “Flying Tigers.”
Guadalcanal Diary (1943)
With Preston Foster, Lloyd Nolan
and William Bendix. One of the
greatest war movies of all time, the
story follows one squad of Marines
through the bloody assaults on the
Solomon Islands during the opening
stages of the South Pacific.
Gung Ho! (19420 With Randolph
Scott, Robert Mitchum. A
dramatization of the true adventures
of Colonel Evans Carlson and the
two hundred men of the Marine
Raider Battalion who embarked on a
death defying mission to take Makin
Island in the Pacific.
Other films were, Objective Burma
(1943); The Purple Heart (1944);
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944)
and Finally A Wing and a Prayer
(1944).
These films were designed to
boost morale and national pride. I
remember sitting in our local movie
theater watching one of these war
movies and when a Japanese soldier’s
face was pictured on the screen
everyone in the audience began to
boo.
How successful were these movies
in raising morale and selling war
bonds is a matter of speculation. We
did win the war. Americans took up
arms to defeat the enemy. Americans
were certainly on the same page in
this effort.
Just one other thought. The
effects of propaganda, however, last
well after treaties are signed. Japan
was defeated. However, the lasting
effect impacted Americans and for
quite a few years, the Japanese were
still referred to as “Japs.”
All the movies listed are available
for viewing on You-tube. I am sure
that I may have left off this list of a
movie that you think should have
been included. My editor limits the
size of each article. I would greatly
appreciate any feedback that you
have on the content. I know that
there are many movies in which dealt
with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
I will address them in a future article.

We’re throwing it all away
We are poisoning ourselves and
destroying the planet that we live on
by our use of plastics. Toxic chemicals
contained in plastic enter the human
body daily through either leaching
or consumption of land animals and
fish that consume plastic polluted
food. These toxins cause cancer, birth
defects, immune system problems,
childhood developmental issues, and
dementia in our elderly. Not only
that but our oceans and rivers and
lands are being turned into garbage
dumps of plastics; materials that take
thousands of years to decompose, if
they break down at all.
Avoiding plastic products is
difficult in our modern world.
Recycling is a partial solution, and
it works to a degree, but most of us
don’t bother. We throw everything
away… in a plastic bag. We say, “Why
bother, I’m only one person; I’m just
one grain of sand on a beach.” Well,
it’s time to rethink our situation. If
every one of us here in Century Village
placed one bag’s worth of recyclables
into the bins each week, think of
the tons of plastics our community
alone would have saved from dump
sites where they will forever pollute
the very Earth our grandchildren are
going to inherit. Now multiply our
community effort by thousands of
like communities across the nation.
Grain by grain; that’s how we as a
people can create enough sand to fill
a beach.
Recycling is not difficult. We go
grocery shopping every week and
bring hundreds of products into
our homes. We put them in the
cupboard, use them, and discard
them. Have you ever taken the time
to really look at what you have in
your house? We need to start paying
attention. Located on the bottom
of every plastic container or bottle
is a recycling symbol with a number.
The number ranges from 1 to 7 and
are contained within a triangle.
These numbers offer a great deal
(NOAA) A black sand beach in Hawaii.
Recycle Plastics. Save the Earth.
BY JODY LEBEL
of information regarding the toxic
chemicals used in the plastic, how
likely the plastic is to leach, how
bio-degradeable the plastic is, and
ultimately the safety of the plastic.
So what does that really mean?
Plastic #1 – PETE or
PET (Polyethylene
Terephthalate)
• Picked up by most curbside
recycling programs, these
products are usually clear. Often
used to make soda and water
bottles. Some consider it safe, but
this plastic does allow bacteria
to accumulate. Never leave water
bottles in a hot car. When recycled
#1s turn into tote bags, furniture,
carpet, and paneling.
Plastic #2 – HDPE (High
Density Polyethylene)
• Plastic #2 is picked up by most
curbside recycling programs as it
is considered to be safe. It also has
a lower risk of leaching. Sometimes
it is found in milk jugs, household
cleaner containers, juice bottles,
shampoo bottles, cereal box
liners, detergent bottles, motor oil
bottles, and butter tubs. Plastic
#2 is generally recycled into pens,
recycling containers, picnic tables,
lumber, benches, fencing, and
more detergent bottles.
Plastic #3 – V or PVC (Vinyl)
• Plastic #3 is used to make food
wrap, plumbing pipes, and some
detergent bottles. It is seldom
accepted by curbside recycling
programs. These plastics used
to, and still may, be linked to
numerous health issues as they
contain DEHA, which can be
carcinogenic with long-term
exposure. Never cook with this
plastic. When recycled it goes into
paneling, flooring, speed bumps,
decks, and roadway gutters.
Plastic #4 – LDPE (Low
Density Polyethylene)
•
Low density polyethylene,
although considered to be safe, is
not one of the products curbside
recycling will accept. It is found
in squeezable bottles, shopping
bags, some clothing, carpet, frozen
food containers, bread bags, and
some food wraps. When recycled it
becomes compost bins, paneling,
trash can liners, floor tiles, and
shipping envelopes.
Plastic #5 – PP
(Polypropylene)
• Considered one of the safer
plastics, and increasingly
becoming accepted by curbside
recycle programs, plastic #5
is typically found in yogurt
containers, ketchup bottles, syrup
bottles, and medicine bottles. It is
often recycled into brooms, auto
battery cases, bins, pallets, signal
lights, ice scrapers, and bicycle
racks.
Plastic #6 – PS
(Polystyrene)
• This is Styrofoam. Very bad for
the environment. Not accepted
into recycling programs. DO
NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It
is notorious for being difficult to
recycle. It does not break down
in the landfill…ever. Styrofoam
does fragment into small pieces,
choking land animals and fish
that ingest it, clogging their
digestive systems. The first piece
of Styrofoam ever made is still
with us today. It poses a health
risk and leaches potentially toxic
chemicals, especially when heated.
Never microwave your leftovers in
the Styrofoam box you brought
them home in. In fact, refuse
to accept a Styrofoam take-out
container. Plastic #6 is found in
egg cartons, which is disturbing.
Buy eggs that are packaged in
cardboard containers. It is also
used in meat trays and disposable
plates and cups. When recycled
it goes back into egg cartons and
also used for foam packing and
insulation.
Plastic #7 – Other,
Miscellaneous
• All of the plastic resins that don’t
fit into the other categories are
placed in the number 7 category. #7
should be avoided due to possibly
containing hormone disruptors
like BPA, which has been linked
to severe health issues. Plastic #7
is found in sunglasses, iPod cases,
computer cases, nylon, 3- and
5-gallon water bottles, and bullet-
proof materials. When recycled in
goes back into plastic lumber and
other custom-made products.
In summary it’s really best to
avoid using all plastics if you’re able.
But at the very least be aware:
• While Number 1 is considered
safe, it is also best to avoid this
plastic.
• Avoid recycling symbols 3, 6,
and 7.
• Look for symbols 2, 4, and 5, as
these plastics are considered to
be safest in terms of human and
animal consumption.

A Stranger At My Door
BY RUTH BERNHARD -DREISS

A glance out my back patio door
put a smile on my face when I saw
a tall snowy-white feathered bird
with black wings and long stick-like
legs and coral-colored feet. Its head
was tan and black with a long coral-
colored beak to match its feet. I could
not believe that this bird stood right
close up to my back windowed door,
alternating on one leg and then both
for a good hour, sometimes with eyes
closed. I don’t know why the stones
out back were comfortable to stand
on when there is plenty of grass, but
I am not a bird. Birders may know
the answer to this, but the sight was
a welcome alternate to the usual
iguana(s) who also like my back
patio. When I left the room and came
back about a half hour later, the bird
was gone. Whether it walked, flew or
swam, I will never know. And there
it was two days later, standing in the
wind at the side of my building. I have
learned that this is a Wood Stork.
If wading around in a swamp with
your head under water seems like a
hard way to make a living, it is. But
this is the way of the Wood Stork. And
it is this very specialized way of living
that makes the Wood Stork one of the
most incisive indicators of how well
the Everglades is functioning. From
the Stork’s point of view, recently
this functioning has not gone well at
all. The Wood Stork has a lot going
against it. It is a very big bird and so
needs a lot of food. It needs this food
over the long time (3-4 months) it
takes to nest. It feeds entirely tactilely,
that is without using its vision, by
groping along in the shallow water,
bill agape in anticipation of the bill
running into something it can eat.
That something mostly is a relatively
large, slow moving fish. When such
a fish bumps into the bill, it closes
with astonishing speed (measured
at 25 milliseconds). I can believe
that because I watched the bird
open its bill wide enough to nab a
very large object. Yet this technique
is sufficiently effective to capture
enough food to supply an adult and
its ravenous nestlings only when
such fish are highly concentrated.
In the Everglades, fish concentrate
during the drying season as they
retreat from drying marshes to still-
wet marshes or ponds. So what all
this means is that for the Wood
Stork to nest successfully, it needs
large fish concentrated in high
densities by water levels receding
over a sufficiently long period of time
to nest and in a succession of places
accessible from the colony site.
Once upon a time, Wood Storks
nested in the thousands in the
southern Everglades and Big Cypress
Swamp (about 4,000 pairs or so in
Everglades National Park), and they
did so in most years, beginning in early
winter so as to be completed before
the spring rainy season raised water
levels and dispersed the fish again.
But all this has changed. Hundreds
to about a thousand pairs nest in the
southern Everglades and Big Cypress
Swamp and are hardly ever very
successful. Many of the remaining
South Florida storks have shifted
to colony sites further northward
in the Everglades to take advantage
of drying situations formed by the
levee and canal systems that now
control the dispersion of water. And
they now begin to nest much later,
usually leaving insufficient time to
finish before the rainy season begins.
These days it often takes only a single
reversal of the drying trend to cause
the storks to abandon their young.
And rainy patches are not uncommon
within the dry season as late winter
frontal systems push into southern
Florida. It is not for lack of trying,
as storks under pressure readily
will travel as many as 50 miles to
find food, soaring with little energy
expenditure on rising air currents,
and even staying overnight to fly
back to their chicks when thermals
develop again the next morning. But
in the present compartmentalized
Everglades there seem to be fewer
situations under which storks can
begin nesting on time and continue
to catch sufficient food for sufficient
periods of time and in convenient
places to nest successfully.
While drastically declining in
numbers over the past several decades
as a breeding bird in southern Florida,
the Wood Stork as a species is not
doing all that badly. Coincident with
the Everglades degrading, the Wood
Stork slowly shifted the core of its
North American population north
of the Everglades, both in Florida
and states further north. Many of
these storks visit South Florida in
winter, but do not stay to nest. With
a current United States nesting
population of about 4-6,000 pairs
and in recognition of its population,
decreases especially in southern
Florida. It is Federally listed as
endangered. But the species is found
in tens of thousands elsewhere in the
swamps and marshes of Central and
South America. There it occurs with
the two other American storks, the
even larger Jabiru and the Maguari,
a species more like the European
White Stork which looks much the
same as the Wood Stork. So it is not
the Wood Stork as a species that is
so much of a concern, but what it
tells us about how the Everglades no
longer functioning.
Realizing that the Everglades is
still a huge expanse of wetland (half
of its areal extent still remains), surely
there is enough fish for thousands of
Wood Storks to nest successfully, if
only it were made available to them
in the ways it used to be.
This is why the situation of the
Wood Stork is so emblematic of a
degraded Everglades and conversely
of a restored Everglades. If water
flows, water depths fluctuate,
fish populations develop, and
concentrating patterns occur in a
manner sufficient for Wood Storks
to again nest successfully in the
thousands and with regularity in
the southern Everglades, much will
have been achieved in making the
Everglades as it once was. If Wood
Storks continue to avoid nesting in
the southern Everglades and when
they do try to nest continue to fail,
then so does the Everglades. Little
did I know I would learn so much
about this errant bird who parked
itself outside my door.

EASTER CANDY WPRF PHONE DIRECTORY

BY JOANNE ROBINSON
Growing up in the fairly religious
home of Polish and Irish parents, I
got the whole Easter tradition of the
“Risen Christ”, and why we fasted
and gave up meat (and candy) during
Lent each year. What I never fully
wrapped my head around was the
Easter Bunny and why he dropped
off these beautiful baskets filled with
all sorts of jelly beans and chocolate
eggs on Easter morning.
It seems that some trace the
“bunny” back to pagan times when
the festival of Eostre was celebrated
and the animal symbol for the
goddess of fertility was a rabbit.
That seems a bit of a stretch to me.
Looking a little closer, I found that

Palm Beach County Property Appraiser
I am
excited to
announce
that we will
launch the
new Property
Appraiser
Public Access
( P A P A )
website with
a fresh new
look, later this month. The redesign
project was built with you in mind,
to refresh its web presence through
improved design, content, structure,
user experience and maintainability.
The primary goal of PAPA has
always been to be the #1 go-to
website for all property records in
Palm Beach County. That has not
changed.
The redesigned PAPA offers a
more intuitive user experience that
improves the organization and
presentation of content so that
visitors can find the information
they seek at-a-glance.
New features such as MyPAPA,
an application that allows you to
personalize and filter your search
results, and streaming custom video
content make PAPA more immediate
and friendly to users, creating a
responsive and approachable design.

and feel it will create the experience
you’re looking for when you pay us a
visit. Thank you for bearing with us
as we prepare for the reveal in mid-
April.
In the meantime, I’d like to
highlight the work of the Public
Services Support department in my
office. This important entity assists
with public requests for property
data.
What is the primary function
of the Public Services Support
Department in the Property
Appraiser’s Office?
Leonard: Public Services
Support facilitates public requests
for property appraiser data and
information from our Geographical
Information System and appraisal
systems. We have several standard
reports such as real property data
files, subdivision lists, radius map
sets, owners lists, etc., and are able
to create customized, specialized
reports and maps based on a
taxpayer’s needs.
Our records system is updated on
a daily basis.
How does the department
support and collaborate with other
divisions within the Property
Appraiser’s Office?
Leonard: We work closely with
the various divisions in our office,
maintaining archive data records for
building cards, tax roll information,
tangible personal property tax
returns, etc. We also provide our field
appraisers with tax maps and aerial
maps (if need be) for their designated
areas in Palm Beach County. We
routinely scan returned taxpayer
documents as well perform inter-
department scanning for the various
software systems which our staff
utilizes on a daily basis.
What are some of the types of
files your department generates
for public requests?
Leonard:
• AA File – Tax Roll Data (Name,
Address, Legal and Assessment
Information) this file can be
updated monthly;
•
CAMA Files – Structural
Details (Number of Bedrooms,
Bathrooms, Roof Type, Stucco/
Wood and Square Footage of
Structure);
• Variance Report – This report is for
permitting, when an owner needs
to notify other owners around
a subject property. (variance
reports include a radius map,
owners listing, address labels and
excel spread sheet if requested).
Usually variances are requested
for structural changes, zoning
changes, specialized permits.
What is the goal of your
department?
Leonard: Our number one goal is
always to provide superior customer
satisfaction.
For all requests for data and
associated costs, email us at pa-
publicservices@pbcgov.org and for
more information about our services,
log onto www.pbcgov.com/papa or
call us at 561.355.2881.

Safety
By George Franklin
Hi folks.
Just got back
from vacation
in Arizona and
what I saw out
there I liked
very much;
BIKE SAFETY!!
Seems the authorities out there have
gone to great lengths to make bike
lanes for all the cyclists on roadways.
And guess what? The bikers USE
them! I visited quite a few areas
and saw MANY areas with cycle
lanes. What also amazed me was
the bike riders themselves. They all
PROPERLY used the lanes and wore
all kinds of safety gear and had safety
implements installed on the bikes
ranging from mirrors to blinking red
lights! Every rider I saw was wearing
a safety helmet and or some type of
reflective vest or clothing. I doubt
that with the way these residents ride
they would be causing any crashes.
Take a lesson from these Arizona
residents. Enjoy the bikes and more
importantly, make sure YOU are
riding safely!
On another note, someone left me
a news clipping regarding arrests and
prosecutions made by authorities
regarding scammers! Seems the
get your
flu shot
Best way to protect yourself
against the flu
Walgreens pharmacists will be on hand to
administer flu shots at this location.*

SERVICES
police grabbed up a couple hundred
bad guys took them to court and
some are going away for quite a while
in addition to making restitution!
Scams included the old Lottery scam
and the grandparents scam about
a relative being jailed and sending
money You all know how many times
I have written about this sort of thing
and caution everyone to HANG UP
THE PHONE when you receive a call
like this. Do NOT engage anyone in
conversation. In the case of a caller
saying he is a relative, if you are
not sure just say you are calling a
parent or other relative to confirm
and 99% of the time the party that
called will hang up. That should
tell you something! NEVER agree
to send money or give out banking
information to anyone you have NOT
initiated the call to. With the lottery,
remember the Lottery Commission
does NOT have any of your personal
information to call you and if you
have not purchased a ticket you can
NOT win anything!! If you have any
questions on what I have written here
or would like to discuss any topics
with me please call me at the UCO
office 561 683 9189 and I will be glad
to set up a meeting to discuss your
concerns and questions with you.
In the meantime, please be safe and
secure out there!
Transportation
By Lori Torres
The bus stop
on Bath and
Borden Sts. was
discussed again.
It was decided
that the stop
will remain as
it was and not
moved -- Route
3 will be back to its original location.
Stops cannot be moved for everyone's
convenience.
Various complaints have been
received from riders regarding the
drivers, where they are stopping or
not stopping, rudeness and unsafe
practices. All complaints about
incidents must be documented on
an official form available at the
UCO Office or in the Ticket Office
in the Clubhouse. Only the person
experiencing the incident may fill
out the report and it must be signed
in order to receive proper action. I
cannot fill out these reports for you
-- they must be done by you because I
have not witnessed the incident. This
is a mandatory requirement of the
bus company.
In the meantime, drivers will be
trained on how to treat residents in a
senior community such as ours. This
demographic requires patience and
kindness. However, I will say that
the majority of our drivers help in
assisting passengers, when needed,
which many riders are quick to
confirm. The offending drivers will
be urged to do likewise. Working
together makes our transportation
system the best.
Among the complaints received
are: A driver is stopping to discharge
passengers on the grass which is
unsafe for those who are unsteady
on their feet; Some drivers are heavy-
footed and tend to speed; One driver
collects ID's upon boarding and
doesn't return them until passengers
leave the bus. All of these complaints
will be addressed but they must be

You will be told the time to come back to the
bus by the driver and also when you sign in before
leaving.
If you are NOT returning with our bus please
notify the driver.
documented with signed Incident
Reports including a date, time, and
bus number so that the appropriate
drivers can be identified.
By the same token, residents are
guilty of speaking to the drivers while
the bus is moving. This is a dangerous
practice and signs will be posted
in all CV languages that residents
are not to speak to drivers while
the bus is moving. UCO President
David Israel suggested scrolling LED
message bars on all buses to remind
riders to refrain from this.
110 hrs. per month have been
saved by altering schedules. Buses
now run only until 10 PM which saves
fuel and mileage. When more data
is received from the bus company on
ridership, we will try to eliminate
buses that run empty or with next to
no passengers.
Beginning with the April issue, the
4-page bus schedule will no longer
be published in the UCO Reporter.
Should a change in schedule occur, it
will then be published. The excursion
trips will still continue to appear
monthly. This is being done to save
money on printing costs.
It was suggested that a class be held
in the Clubhouse for new residents
so they can learn how to best use our
bus system. Channel 63 will also
carry this information which would
be of value to everyone who wants to
learn how to use the routes.
The Palm Beach County Health
Dept. has designated Century Village
a POD (Point of Distribution) for
dispensing anthrax antibiotics
should the need arise. Volunteers are
needed for this committee which is
part of our CERT program. A Town
Hall meeting is in the works for
residents to come to the clubhouse
for a learning session. This will be
announced as soon as a room is
secured and date and time are set.
I mention this because of its vast
importance.
More riders are needed on the
Transportation Committee because
they are the eyes and ears of the
transportation system.

Grilled Cheese
It sounds like a crazy combination
– apricots and grilled cheese? It may
seem extraordinary on paper, but it
is also delicious. There's no need to
take my word for it; fruit and cheese
are common pairings manipulated
by renowned chefs across French,
Greek and Italian cuisine. Since
apricots come into season around
the end of April, this is the perfect
time to test out fruity recipes. Before
I attempt to craft cheese ravioli with
an apricot marinara sauce, I thought
I would begin with something
simpler: Apricot-Jam Grilled Cheese!
Making a grilled cheese is relatively
self-explanatory. As stated by
Michelin Star Chef Gordon Ramsay,
"The name is the recipe." Grilling
a great, ooey-gooey New York-style
sandwich takes a little patience. The
secret is putting a heat-proof bowl or
lid on top of the sandwich as it cooks,
trapping enough heat to melt the
cheese while not burning the bread.
In my recipe, I also pre-toasted the
bread so that it is extra crunchy and
durable for all of the cheese. If you
like a softer sandwich, feel free to
omit the toasting.
For me, a one-cheese sandwich is a
little boring. I can get crazy in the kitchen,
throwing together a bunch of seemingly
unrelated ingredients to find what works
with my palate. So, you know that I can't
just put one cheese in my grilled cheese!
2 slices of sourdough bread, cut 1/4
inch thick or thinner
1 oz. goat cheese, at
temperature
1 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, thinly
sliced
1 oz. mozzarella cheese, finely
shredded using a cheese grater
A few tablespoons of apricot
jam or another fruit jam, such as
strawberry, raspberry, or something
tart. Grape is the only flavor that
does not work.
Cooking spray
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of black pepper
Preheat a grill or fry pan to
medium and spray with cooking
spray.
by a teaspoon of jam. Sprinkle with
sea salt and black pepper. Pile that
room piece of bread with the Monterey Jack
cheese and mozzarella cheese, being
sure to evenly distribute the cheese.
Place the piece of bread (the one that
you slathered with jam earlier) on top
of the cheese-laden piece of bread to
cap the sandwich.
Cook the grilled cheese on the
grill under a heat-proof bowl or lid to
allow it to steam. The heat will melt
the cheese. Cook the grilled cheese
for six minutes on each side or until
all of the cheese is melted. Transfer to
a plate and cut diagonally in fourths.
Enjoy!

This year the UCO Volunteer
Appreciation Luncheon was catered
by this barbeque restaurant in our
Party Room. What a feast. Our
menu consisted of barbecued ribs,
barbecued chicken, sliced brisket,
macaroni and cheese, baked beans,
cornbread and cole slaw. It makes my
mouth water just thinking of it.

Sports of the
Century—Village
BY SAM MILHAM

When Silver Turns to Gold: Football:

It’s estimated that sports betting
is a $400 to $500 billion business in
the USA with pro basketball getting
its share. Most, if not all of this
money, is bet through illegal bookies
– with a movement to make state-run
sports books legal by many states’
governors. Basketball Commissioner
Adam Silver is in favor of it, but get
this—he wants the NBA to get its
share of the action—one percent
of all the $$ that legal sports book
takes in. My question to you, Adam,
is how much has the NBA received
from the “the Mob” in the past? The
answer is none, so what you’re saying
is to make betting legal as long as
you cut us in! Are you nuts, or just
greedy? Commish Silver, you are one
of sports’ best commissioners for
thinking out of the box, but this is
outside of your mind! Please come to
your senses about the integrity of the
game when the NBA gets in on the
action.
With the NFL draft around the
corner, all teams are looking at a
good, maybe great quarterback
class—a Sam Darnold from USL; Josh
Allen, Wyoming; Baker Mayfield,
Oklahoma, to name a few. Saquon
Barkey is the running back from
Penn State to watch. If the Giants
want to stay with Eli Manning,
Saquon will be the first pick and a
good one.
Baseball:
There are many free agents out
there, with—until recently— Jake
Arrieta the most notable of those
still unsigned. The players union is
crying collusion among the owners
in not signing players up players
for long contracts. But maybe this
year’s crop of free agents is simply
not worth the number of years these
players want contractually—and the
owners are merely agreed about this!
Have greedy players simply had it too
good for too long?
More Silver:
The basketball commissioner has
issued a warning to all teams about
tanking games to get a higher draft
pick. This is a great move by the
Commish.
Hockey:
The Washington Capitals will play
the Toronto Maple Leafs in another
outdoor game, this one at the
Navy-Marine Corps Stadium. The
brainchild of Commissioner Gary
Bettman, this will almost double the
attendance of many indoor arenas.
Nice job, Gary, but now’s the time
to issue a dumping warning to the
NHL teams, as basketball is doing.
To copy a good idea is a good thing.
It’s time for the commissioners of all
the sports leagues to follow Adam’s
idea about “dumping.”
ANSWER TO SAM'S QUESTION IN
THE MARCH REPORTER ON THE
"CHIEF WAHOO" LOGO:
The question: Concerning St.
John's College changing their name
to the Red Storm, just what was the
origin of "Red Storm"?
Answer by Sam's brother Ted:
I have found two versions: (1) For
years the planet Jupiter has been
lashed by ferocious storms known as
"Red Storm"; and (2) Satellite states
wishing to break away from the
Soviet Union during the mid-1900s
faced a "Red Storm" attack by Soviet
troops.
Till next time, folks, take two and
hit to right!

Around the Bases with

Irwin Cohen

As you may know, the Yankees
weren’t scheduled this spring against
Houston or Washington at the
Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.
However, they did play in Jupiter
back on March 11 against Miami. I
made the trip that partially sunny
Sunday to check out the 2018 New
York Yankees. I expected former
Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo
Stanton to make the trip on the team
bus from the Yanks spring home in
Tampa.
After all, Jupiter's Roger Dean
Stadium was his spring home for
years. He would want to see the
familiar faces around the ballpark
and visit with a couple of Marlins who
are still left on the team and maybe
even schmooze with his manager last
year, Don Mattingly. I figured wrong.
Stanton elected not to make the
trip for the exhibition game. The 30
million plus dollar man missed out on
the cheering. He would have received
a warm welcome from the capacity
crowd.
If you were there you would have
thought it was the spring home
ballpark of the Yankees. Most fans
wore Yankees jerseys and caps. Aaron
Judge was the people's choice. Most
jerseys had number 99 with JUDGE
above it. There were a few SANCHEZ
for power-hitting catcher Gary
Sanchez and a few old guys wearing
MANTLE.
The Chief Operating Officer of
the Miami Marlins, Derek Jeter, is
very unpopular with fans over the
trading of star players and firing
former players who were serving in
public relations capacities. But Jeter
received only cheers as he stepped
out of his VIP rooftop suite to sit in
the sun. It was a good game and the
Yankees lost but Didi Gregorius, who
is surprising everyone by hitting as
good or better than his predecessor
at shortstop Jeter, homered as did
Judge.
The game showcased the young
Yankee talent and the team has a
great future. Too keep pace, the
Boston Red Sox added free agent
outfielder J.D. Martinez to their
payroll ($229,761,428), the highest
in the major leagues and the only
one over $200 million. Martinez
cost the BoSox $110 million over five
years. But he was needed to try to
match the Yankee bats. Martinez hit
45 home runs last year (four in one
game) and averaged 32 homers over
the past four seasons.
The younger, financially leaner
Yanks, have the eighth highest payroll
at $157,870,357, but expanded it a bit
by signing free agent second baseman
Daniel Murphy, who batted .265 with
14 home runs last season with the
Milwaukee Brewers and New York
Mets. The Yanks made another good
move by obtaining third baseman
Brandon Drury from the Arizona
Diamondbacks. Drury batted .267
with 13 homers last year. The moves
give the Yankees plenty of insurance
as they can keep their young stars
percolating in the minor leagues until
ready for prime time.
Future stars second baseman
Gleyber Torres and third baseman
Miguel Andujar should be major
league stars. Other Yankee top
prospects are pitchers Chance
Adams and Justus Sheffield. The
Yanks should pull away from Boston
in 2019 when their young players are
more experienced. This year, however,
will be close but the Yanks should top
the American League East.
The New York Yankees Boston Red
Sox rivalry should be at an all-time
fever pitch. Both teams seem as good
as ever in their long franchise history.
It will be a very interesting and
competitive this year. But Yankees
fans have more to look forward to
as New York has more talent in the
minor leagues and with a lower
payroll. the Yanks are poised to make
a trade late in the season for a high-
priced player or wait until after the
season to sign a big free agent.

Mel Allen (Wikipedia.org)
While the popularity of the major
sports is primarily dependent on the
talent of the athletes involved, the
talent of those who present sports to
the public is also very important.
Sportscasters, both play-by-play
and color commentary, can add or
even detract from sports acceptance.
There have been some truly great
ones in all sports. Some have
remained local, while some were on
stations beamed on networks heard
in limited groups of cities, such as
station KMOX in St. Louis, which
was primarily heard in the Midwest
and the South. And, of course,
others became nationally known on
games that reached every city in the
country, such as Game of the Week
Great Baseball
Broadcasters
BY TED MILHAM
telecasts.
Back in the late 1940s and early
1950s, before television became
universal, the great ones started on
local radio. We were fortunate in New
York to have some of the best, such
as the "Voice of the Yankees," Mel
Allen, who in my book is still the best
play-by play man ever; Red Barber
of the Brooklyn Dodgers; and Russ
Hodges of the Giants. Hodges got
his start in New York as Mel Allen's
sidekick before crossing the Harlem
River to the Polo Grounds, where he
would have his most memorable day
on October 3, 1950—a day that Sam
and I agree has and will continue to
live in infamy. (Sorry, Giants' fans!)
The Boston Red Sox's famous Curt
Gowdy was also at one time Mel
Allen's sidekick. Understudying
Allen apparently is a good career
path, which Phil Rizzuto also
followed, eventually becoming the
Voice of the Yankees, although not
nearly in Mel's, Hodges', or Gowdy's
class.
When you listened to Mel Allen on
radio, you saw the game. He told you
where every player in the field was
standing, where he was in relation to
the foul line, whether he was shading
to the right of the bag or the left, how
many feet he was from the bag, etc.
He was the first announcer in my
memory to use the "Going, going, it
is gone!" phrase. Those of you who
go back further than I do may wish
to correct me on that. Home runs
were a "Ballantine blast" or a "White
Owl wallop," depending on whether
the beer or the cigar was sponsor for
that inning.
In Brooklyn, we had the Old Red
Head, Red Barber, who taught me the
game in 1947, just as he taught many
thousands of Dodger fans the game.
While Mel Allen was the superior
game caller, Red was the great
teacher of the game. Allen made
perfectly clear what was happening,
while Barber told you why it was
happening.
Another great, Vin Scully, became
Barber's number two sidekick along
with Connie Desmond, who was
sidekick number one until alcohol
sidetracked the career of a very good
broadcaster. Scully, became the Voice
of the Dodgers and remained so for
67 illustrious years, when in a pay
dispute, Red Barber jumped to the
Bronx and formed one of the greatest
sports duo combinations ever, with
Mel Allen.
Harry Caray, who started out as a
St. Louis Cardinals announcer, then
moved to the Oakland A's and then
the White Sox, gained his greatest
fame with the Chicago Cubs. He
was one of the most entertaining
announcers. His singing of "Take
Me Out to the Ballgame!" during the
seventh-inning stretch established a
tradition in Wrigley Field that lives
on well after his death. A guest singer
intones that famous song at every
home game.
Nepotism is alive and well in the
sports broadcasting business, as
Caray's son Skip did play-by-play for
the Atlanta Braves, as did Harry's
grandson Chip, the son of Skip
Caray. Chip worked for the Braves
and the Cubs. Harry's sidekick in
St. Louis was Jack Buck, who is the
father of Joe Buck, who is both a
baseball and football lead announcer
on nationwide telecasts.
Thom Brennaman, who currently
broadcasts, is the son of longtime
Cincinnati Reds announcer, Marty
Brennaman. Todd Kallas now does
Astros games, as his father Harry
formerly did Phillies games. But
yeah, it's all just a coincidence. Ya
think??

The Candyman Monsieur Bonbon

B Y A N D R É L E G A U LT PA R A N D R É L E G A U LT

"The Candyman Can." Sammy
Davis Jr. propelled that song to the #
1 hit on the Billboard 100 in 1972.
Every city now has its candy store
and as many candy shop owners.
The challenge was to find the real
Candyman.
Search no more—I found him! He
is affectionately called "Monsieur
Bonbon" and lives on the South shore
of Montreal. People with carloads of
children used to travel long distances
to shop in his candy store. Dozens
of candy varieties were available.
There was even an adult section, with
imported chocolate delicacies.
In September 2005, Monsieur
Bonbon, 67 years old, suffered a
stroke which left him handicapped
and confined to a wheelchair. Selling
his business and depressed, he retired
to a nearby hospice residence. But
after a few months he realized that
life was still worth living and decided
to reinvent himself.
Purchasing costumes and
accessories for every festive occasion,
on a platform in the park adjacent
to the residence, he now smiles and
waves to motorists and sells candies
to passersby. He has all the various
decorations needed to celebrate
Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick's Day,
Easter, Halloween and even the cold
Christmas holidays. Security? No
need to worry. No one would dare
vandalize his improvised kingdom.
Last year his renditions netted
$6200, which served to purchase
audiovisual and training equipment
for the comfort of his fellow residents
Monsieur Bonbon proved that
much can be done despite old age
and handicaps.
Many residents of Century
Village—friends and family
members—are living proof, like the
Candyman, that Where there’s a
will, there’s a way!
La chanson « The Candyman
Can » interprétée par Sammy Davis
Jr a occupé le # 1 du palmarès du
Billboard 100 en 1972. Chaque ville
a maintenant sa confiserie et son
propriétaire. Le défi consistait à
trouver le vrai confiseur.
Ne cherchez plus ! Je l’ai trouvé.
Affectueusement appelé Monsieur
Bonbon, il habite sur la rive-sud
de Montréal. Des autos bondées
d’enfants parcouraient de longues
distances pour magasiner dans sa
confiserie. Des dizaines de variétés
de bonbons étaient disponibles. Il y
avait même une Section pour Adultes
offrant des chocolats fins importés.
En septembre 2005, Monsieur
Bonbon, âgé de 67 ans, a subi une
embolie cérébrale causant une
paralysie partielle et le clouant à une
chaise roulante. Forcé de vendre sa
confiserie et déprimé, il se retire dans
une résidence pour personnes âgées.
Après quelques mois, il réalise que la
vie vaut toujours la peine d’être vécue
et il se ré-invente une personnalité.
Avec l’achat de costumes ainsi
qu’une panoplie d’accessoires, sur une
plate-forme dans un parc adjacent à la
résidence, il sourit, envoie la main aux
automobilistes et vend des bonbons
aux passants. Il possède les décors
et costumes pour chaque occasion
que ce soit pour la Saint-Valentin, St-
Patrick, Pâques, l’Halloween et même
durant le temps froid de Noël. La
sécurité est nullement compromise.
Personne n’oserait vandaliser son
royaume improvisé. L’an dernier, ses
prestations rapportèrent 6,200$ qui
servirent à l’achat d’équipements
audiovisuels et sportifs pour le
confort des gens de sa résidence.
Monsieur Bonbon témoigne une
fois de plus que l’on peut demeurer
actif et productif malgré l’âge et
un handicap. Ici même, à Century
Village, nous avons des résidents,
des parents et des amis qui, comme
Monsieur Bonbon, nous prouvent
que «quand on veut, on peut! »

Sailing Club
BY CHRISTINE MOHANTY
Our winter sailing season has
come to a close with the following
results:
For Tuesday’s trophy races, Jan
Roszko came in first, Ron Helms
second, Marc Benson shared third
position with Allan Twohig, Nick
Goeb fourth. Coincidentally,
the Friday navigation races look
pretty much the same—Jan first,
Ron second, Marc third, and Jose
Saavedra fourth. Now we’re into the
spring races which run for six weeks;
we invite residents to come down to
the dock at 2PM to check them out.
On Wednesday, March 14
at 1PM, the club held a Memorial
Service for those sailors who are now
navigating other waters. As usual,
flowers were strewn from one of our
Sunfish while a bell was rung as the

The club has initiated two
programs to promote participation
in our races. While residents don’t
have to sail to be members and
enjoy our many social activities, we
would like to have more folks out
there taking advantage of our lovely
lagoons. To that end, we’ve been
running Saturday spectator races
at 1PM. Additionally on Thursday,
March 8, the club ran a special
Women’s Sailing Clinic. We strongly
encourage those who haven’t taken
lessons with Ken Campbell or Helga
Lieb O’Neil to come on down to the
dock and SAIL AWAY.

THE LONE RANGER
RIDES AGAIN
BY STEW RICHLAND
On January 30, 1933, the Lone
Ranger debuts on Detroit radio. For
generations Americans of all ages
needed only to hear this single cry-
Hi-Yo, Silver! Away-y-y. along with
the stirring notes of the William
Tell Overture to know just who was
about to come riding ‘round the
bend.
The Lone Ranger, one of the
quintessential American heroes
turns 85 this year, has become the
most familiar and recognizable
character-real or fictional-of the old
west and catches the attention of
today’s kids faster than any other
type of entertainment.
The Lone Ranger was the creation
of Detroit’s radio station WXYZ
owner George Trendle and writer
Fran Striker. Neither Trindle or
Striker had any connection to
or experience with the cowboys,
Indians, and pioneers of the real
West, but that little to them. They
wanted to create an American
version of the masked swashbuckler
made popular by the silent movie
actor Douglas Fairbanks in The
Mark of Zorro, arming their hero
with a revolver rather than a sword.
Historical authenticity was far less
important to the men than fidelity
to the strict c code of conduct they
established for their character. The
Lone Ranger never smoked, or drank
alcohol, he used grammatically
correct speech free of slang and most
important, he never shot to kill.
When station WXYZ parted ways
with the Columbia Broadcasting
System in 1932, Trindle as part
owner of the station needed to fill
in a schedule that would be able to
compete with the major networks.
He wanted to develop a program
dedicated to youth, one that would
be interesting and exciting. Trindle
said in his biography that he did
not want to “write down” to kids.
His childhood heroes were Buffalo
Bill and writers like James Fenimore
Cooper and how his imagination was
stimulated and wanted to emulate
these story-book heroes.
Trindle decided on a western
theme that depicted the time when
America was growing and
moving to expand to the
Pacific. They also wanted
to illustrate the hardships
that the Pioneers endured
living in the West. The
show would be action
packed, without emphasis
on violence and bloodshed. A show
that would entertain and inspire and
instruct a youthful audience and yet
interesting to adults also.
To put the ideas forward, Trindle
contacted a Buffalo, N.Y. writer, Fran
Striker to work on the show with
him. He also used a staffer, Brace
Beemer (also an announcer) to help
work out the details of the show.
One of the refinements
they decided on was to
use silver bullets to make
their hero more unique.
Trindle noted in his
biography, this decision to
use precious metal would
be a constant reminder
of the preciousness of
human life –neither
to be used lightly. His
character would ride a
white horse to make him
a more striking figure. He
decided that his early life
would indicated that his
hero would have been a
Texas Ranger working
alone on a secret mission- one of
his staff offered the idea of a “Lone
Ranger” and the name was fixed in
stone.
In the development of the Lone
Ranger, Mr. Trimble added an explicit
description of the lead character.
He must not be the movie style,
swashbuckling type who laughed and
sang as he shot down outlaws, but a
realistic, serious and sober-minded
man with a righteous purpose, who
would serve as an example of good
living and clean speech. No attempt
to imitate any particular voice or
lingual characteristics except those
of good English would be used. Her
also wanted a man of mystery, a
person for some reason who wants
to conceal his identity. He must have
as his purpose a desire to help the
builders of the West and to do it, not
for personal credit or gain, but for
love of country.
The first broadcast of the Lone
Ranger was on January 30, 1933, and
was scheduled for three complete
stories a week. The first voice of
the Lone Ranger was done by
George Seaton, who later became
a Hollywood director. After a few
months, the station director tried
the role for a half-a-year and gave it
up. Earl Grasser followed for about 6
years until an accidental death force
the station to find a replacement.
Brace Beemer assumed the role of
Jay Silverheels (Canadian Mohawk)
born Harold J. Smith, 1912
the masked man and
continued until the last
broadcast 1955. Over
6000 broadcasts were
made and at least 3000
were preserved on tape.
Beemer’s voice lives on
in all the re-runs long
after his death in 1965.
He grew quite elderly
during his time on the
show even though his
voice never revealed it. He
and Tonto were partners,
a lesson in Brotherhood,
an authentic American
legend, a great example
of our national folk lore.
“High Ho Silver!” is a great example
to call attention to American ideals
The Lone Ranger was directed at
children and was broadcast at 7:30
P.M. for most of its life on radio. and
was sponsored regionally by several
bread companies. For the rest of its
air time in the 1940s and 50s the
program was sponsored by General
Mills for its Kix and Cheerios cereal.
Clayton Moore was the best
known Lone Ranger. Over the years
he composed the Lone Ranger
Creed. The Moral code upheld by
the masked man:
“I believe that to have a friend, a
man must be one
That all men are created equal and
that everyone has within himself the
power to make this a better world
That God put the firewood there
but that every man must gather and
light it himself.
In being prepared physically,
mentally, an d morally to fight when
necessary for that which is right.
That a man should make
the most of the equipment
he has!
That, “This government,
of the people, by the people,
and for the people shall live
always
That men should live
by the rule of what is best for the
greatest number
That sooner or later….
somewhere….somehow…we must
settle with the world and make
payment for what we have taken.
That all things change but truth,
and truth lives on forever
There is so much more to the story
of the Lone Ranger. The selection of
Jay Silverheels as Tonto and Beemer’s
relationship with him. There are
dozens of Lone Ranger fan clubs still
going strong, you can find them on
Google.
In my next article I will touch on
some of the issues that Beemer and
Silverheels had to face during their
run as the Masked Man and Tonto.
I will also discuss other famous
radio cowboys such as Tom Mix and
Hopalong Cassady and how they
used their side-kicks to develop some
humor in their adventures.
Don’t touch that dial! I will be
back next month with another
installment on the classic radio
westerns.

"Bonjour," Au revoir," "Merci" and

What is the
Honor Flight?
BY JODY LEBEL
The Honor Flight program is a non-profit organization
created solely to honor America’s veterans by sending them to
Washington, DC for the day to visit the memorials that are
dedicated to honor the service and sacrifices of themselves and
their friends. Top priority is given to the senior veterans, World
War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be
terminally ill.
“With America’s WWII and Korean War veterans now in their
later years of life, Honor Flight is truly in a race against time to
honor these veterans by bringing them to see their memorials,
especially the WWII memorial, which was not completed until
2004,” an Honor Flight representative said recently in a release.

The Honor Flight Program
Sunday, May 27th , 7:00 pm in Clubhouse Room C
$3.00 Donation
(First 100 guests receive a gift bag generously donated by CSI)
Southeast Florida Honor Flight, which is the branch of
the organization that oversees our area, operates solely on
corporate and individual donations. And because there’s no
official veterans database, it relies on word-of-mouth and
publicity to find veterans for the trip. Flights leave PBIA several
times a year and every year Century Village sends vets from our
village with the cost paid for strictly by donations.
All proceeds from Act 2 Repertory Theater’s upcoming
musical show titled Songs of War and Remembrance, scheduled
for Memorial Day weekend, May 27th in Classroom C, will be
donated to this wonderful cause.
