COOCVE President’s Report
By CHARLES K. PARNESS, President/ COOCVE
V
entnor-H has devised
a structured method of
interviewing new applicants.
In response to some inquiries
I received, here is a synopsis
of their method.
If you look in our documents, the process of interviewing new applicants is
not required. However, it is
strongly recommended that
every applicant go through
this process. An interview
accomplishes two purposes
– first, it is the association’s
duty to determine if an applicant is or is not acceptable.
During the interview process,
the association may discover
that what is written in the
interrogatory papers is not
the whole story. An applicant
who looks good on paper
may appear otherwise after
the interview. The second
purpose but equally important, is to acquaint the new
applicant with some of the
rules and guidelines in effect
in the building. Rather than
have the applicant after they
move in, violate the rules
because they were unaware
of them, the interview process should be designed to
educate the applicant before
they move in.
Ventnor-H does this by
designating each interviewer
with specific subjects to be
discussed. Naturally, each
association that uses this
method will tailor it to those
rules it feels are most important to their association.
The following is a list of
some of the subjects/questions
that can be covered in the
interview process:
Parking accommodations
and rules; Rentals (or no rentals) allowed; permanent or
part-time resident; who to ask
for information concerning
the building; getting a reliable service company; checking A/C unit yearly or twice
a year; reliable company to
monitor your unit when you
are away; no washer/dryer
allowed in your unit; no mats
or other items on the catwalk;
where to dispose of garbage
and recyclable material;
licensed contractors; no work
on catwalk; obtaining necessary permits; humidistat and
thermostat settings; visitors;
building news or information on bulletin board; policy
on pets, etc.
Note: Some of the rules are
rules adopted by the association board, and many of these
rules are in the building documents. Remind the applicant
that they are to receive the
documents from the seller at
closing or the cost of these
documents. The documents
can be obtained from the
Bailey-Woodruff company.
Lack of such documents
does not exempt the appli-
cant s from their responsibility of obeying the rules
contained in them.
At the end of the interview
process, the buyer should
be allowed to ask questions,
which will be written down
and answered by the interviewers, if possible. This is
followed by the applicant
signing a document listing
all the subjects covered, the
interviewers’ names and any
applicant questions.
In some cases, an applicant
may request a quick approval
because they have a closing
date. The association may
schedule a mutually agreed
upon date BUT under no
circumstances should they
schedule an interview before
they have the chance to review the interrogatory documents including financial/
criminal investigation reports.
It is not uncommon for an association to tell the applicant
that his/her closing date will
not happen until the process
is completed.

The Mayor’s Message
By JEAN ROBB, Mayor/ City of Deerfield Beach
B
y the time you read
this, the Commission
will have had a shade meeting to determine what action
should be taken in regard to
the six lots that are for sale at
the beach. In all probability, a
final decision will have been
made at the first meeting in
April which is April 5. By
then, you will be aware of
whatever the Commission has
made and what the provisions are. I am hoping that
whatever happens, the City
might consider a dog park in
that area in an effort to confine the problem with dogs to
a certain area of the beach.
I had occasion recently
to sign over 200 Certificates
of Appreciation to the volunteers who work for the
Northeast Focal Point. Without these dedicated people
and businesses, none of
the many activities that are
offered would be possible.
This is the one time that the
City and I and my fellow
Commissioners have the opportunity to say thank you
for the work they do on behalf of the City of Deerfield
Beach and its residents.
Those of you who travel on
Second Avenue will have seen
that one of the trademark
businesses in Deerfield Beach,
the Builders Supply, has been
demolished. This was started
many years ago by Edward
Dietrich and was carried on
by his son after Ed retired.
Those of us who were here
before there ever was a Home
Depot were the constant
customers of the facility that
catered to all of our needs.
Add to that list, the closing of
Poitier Cleaners on Hillsboro
Boulevard.
Previously we lost two of
our finest restaurants when
Brooks closed and Marcello’s
was gone. I know that change
is inevitable, but it still hurts
to see those businesses that
grew up with the town no
longer exist. Of course, you
all have seen the multiple
changes that have come about
in Century Village and its
residents.
In closing, I wish I could
clarify some of the things
that you have been reading
about me and the fact that
I have been charged with
ethics violations. My attorney will speak for me, and
we shall have our opportunity to dispute the charges
when we have our hearing
before a Judge Magistrate.
Please know that I take my
responsibilities as mayor
very seriously, and I would
never do anything to tarnish
that image.

Tips for
Traveling
Research and
Plan Ahead
Planning, reserving and
confirming must be
accomplished sooner
rather than later. When
the destination is resolved
with target dates, research
airlines, Amtrak, buses,
cruise lines. For air and
land transportation, seek
the most direct and
shortest travel times.
In the Publix Shopping Center
If there is a choice of three
airlines, for example, enroll in the no-cost frequent
flier program for each.
This should give you
access to the lowest fares
and possible benefits at
the airport and aboard
the flight, as well as for
requesting special services.
Know that once very
common, most senior
discount fares are
history except for
Southwest Airlines and
Amtrak. To find other

Request seat assignment
in the rows designated for
disabled travelers. And,
importantly, request
cost-free wheelchair
service at every airport
origination, connection
and arrival location. If
there is meal service
aboard, advise the
reservation system of any
dietary needs.
If traveling alone, ensure
you will have human
assistance from the
counter, through
security, to the gate and
then to board the aircraft.
If staffed by an airline
employee, there is no cost
for wheelchair or assistance. If staffed by Red
Cap-type personnel, you
will be expected to tip
for that assist. If you are
traveling with family, they
can offer to handle the
wheelchair.
If you don’t make and
confirm all of these
requests at the time of
reservation, the airline,
train or bus line has no
obligation to make them
available on check-in or
while en route.

C
hange is Always Difficult, but Needed to
Survive
To the Editor:
Change may not be easy or
comfortable for many people,
but sometimes change is
needed to survive and thrive. The world we live in changes
daily and will continue to
change into the future. Many
products have come and gone
since 1974. Simply look at
what has happened to technology and what is likely
going to happen as we move
forward into the future, as
examples of how change is
affecting many people and
organizations. Everybody
needs to prepare for the future and adapt to change.
I’ve worked for a major
Canadian Bank and the Canadian Federal Government and
both organizations have reorganized several times over
since 1974 to better meet the
needs of its customers. CVE,
however, has had the same
structure in place since inception, and we should be asking
In
The
Still
of
Night
ourselves how well positioned
is CVE’s current governing
structure to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, so that residents continue
to thrive and property values
increase. Some of the tougher
questions (of many) we might
ask ourselves are:
1. What is COOCVE’s role
vis-a-vis Master Management
and would the community be
better served with a different structure in the future to
become more efficient (e.g.,
look at all the monthly and
time consuming meetings)
and to better serve residents
in a more timely fashion?
2. Might there be embedded
conflicts of interest between
our current structures that
should be eliminated (e.g.,
COOCVE, Master Management, Recreation Committee,
The Reporter, etc.?)
It takes time to study all the
organizations governing CVE
and decide what changes, if
any, are needed. We know
that something has to change
when the recreation facilities are handed over to the
community in a few years and
that would be the best time to
implement any other structural changes to minimize cost. In my opinion the objectives
of any reorganization should
be to flatten the structure,
eliminate unnecessary costs
and duplication of effort,
streamline business processes,
save Associations time and
money, modernize communications, and improve the
organization’s ability to make
effective decisions and speed
of implementation.
In my opinion, reorganization has to start with the
organization entities (do we
really need COOCVE, Master Management, Recreation
Committee or would one
organization, with an election
process better serve the com-
CVE REPORTER
munity?) I would note that
Century Village Boca Raton
has a different governing
structure than ours. Once the
legal entities are decided, you
then start to design an organizational structure by involving the people who actually
do the job. There are always
obvious changes and not so
obvious changes. People doing the job are always a good
source for ways to streamline
operations and save money.
Real change however,
comes from visionary and effective leadership. You can always hire a consultant to advise you, but that could cost
a lot of money, for very little
in return; or both COOCVE
and Master Management
could work together to form a
Committee of knowledgeable
residents, but neither organization should be involved in
the work, because it would
be a conflict of interest. This
work needs to be done by an
independent Advisory Board
of 9-11 residents who have
organizational design experience and have worked on
reorganizing companies and
organizational structures. I,
for example, have experience
with reorganizing departments and evaluating and
changing business processes
for cost effectiveness and
greater productivity. I am
confident we can find qualified residents in our community to do this work. With all
the potential legal issues and
approvals needed, this work
should start now, if they want
to be ready for the handover
of the recreation facilities.
Question: who in CVE has the
visionary and effective leadership to initiate this badly
needed project? CLIFFORD PRUPAS

To the Editor:
In spite of requests from
the host/hostess at the CVE
Theater to refrain from the
use of perfumes during performances, many people still
do not respond accordingly.
Your neighbors cannot avail
themselves of the pleasure of
attending shows or concerts. Many allergy sufferers who
pay and attend these events
are forced to leave or cough
and sneeze throughout the
performance.
Please refrain from using perfume or cologne at

Numerous Stops by the
West Bus at Bank of America
To the Editor:
As a frequent traveler on
the West bus, my fellow riders
and I are greatly puzzled as
to the necessity of stopping
at Bank of America 74 times a
week, including Sunday when
the bank is closed! No one
has to deposit or withdraw
money 74 times a week.
Perhaps a better use of the
time and resources of the
West bus is to reduce this stop
to twice a week and restore
our most needed half-hour
schedule so that we can connect to the in-Village busses
and not have to wait (sometimes up to 45 minutes) while
our frozen items defrost and
ice cream turns to mush.
Hopefully, Master Management will reconsider this
matter.

Joint COOCVE Executive Committee and
Council of Area Chairs - March 9, 2016
T
he Joint COOCVE
Executive Committee
and Council of Area Chairs
meeting of March 9, 2016 was
called to order by COOCVE
President Charlie Parness and
the Chair for the Council of
Area Chairs, Sylvia Smaldone,
at 9:30 a.m. Charlie stated
that a quorum was present.
Minutes
A Director moved, and
it was seconded to waive
the reading and accept the
minutes of the February 10
meeting as distributed and
printed in the Reporter.
Treasurer’s Report – None;
will be given at the COOCVE
BOD meeting on Tuesday.
President’s Report –
Charlie Parness
I want to thank Seacrest,
East Coast and many of
the Area Chairs in following up with getting the 2016
COOCVE dues and the Officers and Directors forms to
COOCVE. The Reporter has a
list of those associations that
are 2016 members. In order to
make the March issue, it only
includes those associations for
which we have received dues
by February 19. A more accurate picture will be in the run
sheets which will be at the
COOCVE BOD meeting. As
previously reported, about a
dozen associations who were
not members last year have
sent in their 2016 dues.
Last year, the COOCVE
BOD approved a significant
number of important Amendments to the COOCVE Bylaws. It would be difficult for
anyone to look at the Bylaws
and reference the Amendments
to determine what is correct
and what has changed. Many
hours were spent incorporating the Amendments and
changes into the Bylaws.
This week the Bylaws, with
the included amendments,

Charlie mentioned that at the
COOCVE Board of Directors
meeting, he will announce the
list of residents he has appointed to the Board of Directors for the Reporter. Per the
Bylaws, this must be approved
by the COOCVE BOD. Another item COOCVE has been
working on is updating the
Officers and Directors Manual.
A volunteer, Carol Carr, has
spent months on this project.
After this is reviewed, the
completed manual will be
available to all on www.cvedb.
com. COOCVE is also considering the effort and cost to
print the manual for those who
would prefer a hard copy.
On Wednesday, March 23,
there will be a presentation on
Working with your Management
Firm; only CVE Association
Board members are invited to
attend. On Thursday, March
24, we will have our Annual
Unit Owners Meeting. At
this meeting, there will be
no speeches. The meeting is
open to all residents of the
8,508 CVE units. Residents
can speak their mind, ask
questions, offer suggestions
and make complaints. Paper
will be provided for residents
to submit any questions or
suggestions they may have.
Charlie then turned the
meeting over to Sylvia Smaldone, Chair for the Council
of Area Chairs, for the balance of this meeting. Sylvia
mentioned that immediately
following this meeting is an
Area Chair workshop so she
asked all Area Chairs to not
leave after the meeting.

Areas
Ellsmere: A director asked
if it is still a rule to eat under
the awning. Nancy stated
that, only under the awning,
is where food can be consumed. They will revisit this
rule at the end of the year.
There is a handout in the Staff
Office for new residents.
Farnham: Norm asked if
he must participate in the
resurfacing of his area. Kelly
stated that areas do not have
to participate but MM does
encourage everyone to participate. When your area decides
to have the work done, you
would need to match the line
so there might be an additional expense to your area at
that time.
Islewood: At the Lyndhurst
North Pool, Security has been
called several times, and they
refuse to come out. Nancy
responded that they should
call the Staff Office, and Dan
will look into it.
Lyndhurst: Many associations believe that they should
get a copy of the Security
report when they come out
to an area. Kelly stated that
Security reports will not be
provided unless they are subpoenaed by an attorney.
Richmond: There are many
potholes leading up to the
Richmond A, B and C buildings. Kelly replied that they
have contracted with a paving company. In the swimming pool area, there are not
enough lounge chairs in the
area. Nancy responded that
the maximum amount is 50
chaise lounges and 100 chairs
at each pool.

Master Management –

The MM BOD meeting will
be held tomorrow, March 10
at 9:30 a.m. in the Activity

with FPL on the exterior lighting. Lights are still out in certain areas, and MM is working with FPL on this project.
MM is moving forward with
Seacrest in inspecting the
remainder of the garden
style buildings for firewall
breaches in the settlement of
the Ventnor B lawsuit. If you
are in a garden style building or apartment and have
not submitted a claim form,
please stop by Kelly’s office
to obtain a claim form. Those
who have submitted claim
forms will be receiving a certified letter or call from Seacrest
to schedule an inspection.
Sylvia asked if the FPL poles
on the West Drive are on our
property because they appear
to be leaning. Kelly stated
that she contacted FPL about
them, and FPL stated they are
structurally sound.
Recreation Committee –
Nancy Giordano
Nancy mentioned that the
Committee was just as surprised as the residents to find
out that the Clubhouse Diner
had closed. Nancy stated that
several viable restaurants and
individuals have contacted
Dan about the possibility of
taking over the restaurant.

Sheriff’s Report - None
Treasurer’s Report Alan Schwartz
For the month of February, Cash Receipts from dues
were $4,800 and Expenses
interested in attending the
presentation. On Thursday,
March 24, a Unit Owners
Town Hall meeting will be
held. This meeting is open to
all 8,500+ units. There will be
no speeches from COOCVE;
they will be listening to
residents’ suggestions and/
or complaints on improving
the Village. Many COOCVE
Bylaw Amendments were
approved last year. In order
to understand what is in the
COOCVE Bylaws, residents
had to read a section of the
Bylaws and then check to see
if there were amendments
that affected the particular
paragraph or section. To
make it easier for residents,
Charlie integrated the
Amendments into the Bylaws;
this integrated document can
be found on www.cvedb.com
for everyone to view. Charlie thanked Carol Carr who
spent over a year researching
and amending the Officers and
Directors Manual. When the
manual is completed, it will
be placed on the www.cvedb.
com. COOCVE is looking
into the cost of producing
hard copies. Per section 12.1
of the COOCVE Bylaws, the
COOCVE President shall appoint the Reporter Board, with
the approval of the COOCVE
Board of Directors. Charlie
announced the following
nominees to the Reporter
Board: Patricia Bidol-Pavda,
Albert Cyr, Susan Dove, Gene
Goldman, Ron Popp, Toni
Ponto and Bernice Schmier.
Charlie asked the COOCVE
BOD, to approve the above
mentioned nominees. A motion was made by Roz Levine
and seconded by a Director.
The motion was unanimously approved by a voice vote.
Recreation - Rita Pickar
Abe Trachtenberg stated
that the chairs at the Durham
pool are very rusty. Rita replied that new chairs/lounges
are being purchased every
month. She suggested that
Abe fill out a form, located in
the Staff Office, to make them
aware of the issue at the Durham pool. A resident asked
if additional chairs can be
placed at the Richmond pool.
Rita stated that every month
an inventory of the chairs is
taken at each pool. On average, there are 100 chairs at
each pool; they compensate
for the different pool sizes.
Rita stated that residents
cannot take up three chairs or
save chairs for other residents.
She mentioned that bikes are
not allowed in the pool area,
and Recreation is in the process of installing bike racks at
every pool.
Master Management Gene Goldman
Gene mentioned that the
new lighting at the East and
West Drives and along Century Blvd. is a major improvement in the Village. FPL will
be completing the project
within the next several weeks.
Gene stated that Le Club and
the Activity Center have been
painted inside and out. The
carpet in the Activity Center
will be replaced over the next
several months and the carpet
at Le Club will be replaced
in next year’s budget. Gene
stated that everyone is welcome to attend the MM meeting which is held the second
Thursday of every month. He
stated that if residents have
concerns, they should not
wait for the meeting but go on
line to www.cvedb.com and

Veterans Benefits
Text and Photo by SID BIRNS
T
he Jewish War Veterans, Post #265 of
CVE, hosted an Open House
for veterans of all wars to
learn what benefits they may
have coming to them.
Colonel Mike Prendergast,
U.S. Army (Ret), Executive
Director, Florida Department
of Veterans Affairs, said in
his message in the Veterans
Benefits Guide booklet, “Some
of Florida’s veterans fought
for our freedom in the days
before television while others
never knew a time without
computers and cell phones,
yet they all share the admira-
tion of a grateful nation. If
they aren’t receiving the benefits and services they rightfully earned, we must use every
approach available to reach
them and set things right.”
There were 16 veterans in
attendance; and they heard
Ivy Martin, Veterans Service Officer, describe available benefits for the various
service-incurred wounds and
other problems while serving their country in times of
war. Ms. Martin was a former
U.S. Army Staff Sergeant for
12 years and is now Broward
County’s Veterans Assistant
Manager for Broward County’s
Elderly and Veterans Services.
One of the most discussed
needs was in-home care based
on the veteran’s eligibility,
which means someone comes
to the veteran’s home to provide and perform activities of
daily living, such as bathing,
feeding, dressing, toiletry or
adjusting prosthetic devices.
Even after the conclusion of
the question and answer period, no one left; most everyone came up to the Veterans
Affairs representatives and
still had more questions to
ask. Some of the veterans had
problems they couldn’t seem
to get resolved, now with the
Veteran Affairs Officer available, they have someone to
talk to and have their problems taken care of.
At left, Ivy Martin, Veteran Service officer, discusses Veterans problems at the Open House for veterans
held by the Jewish War Veterans of CVE

a spectacular array of talents
our residents have! There

and stained glass on display
it was truly amazing. I also
enjoyed working with Maureen Doherty on Relay for
Life. Thanks to Maureen and

the risks of passion, loyalty
and love. Home, as Mimi begins to realize, can be “a place
where it’s just as easy to feel
lost as it is to feel content.”

When a woman and her
husband, desperate for a
baby, find themselves unable
to conceive, they decide to
take further steps. Since it is
the husband who is infertile,
the heroine decides to use a
donor. And all seems to be
well. Three months pass, and
she is happily pregnant. But
a shocking revelation occurs
when she discovers that a
man arrested for a series of
brutal murders is her donor,
the biological father of the
child she is carrying. Delving
deeper to uncover the truth,
the heroine must face her
worst fears and confront a terrifying truth.
It isn’t safe. That’s what
Joe tells her when he ends
their affair – moments before
their car skids off an icy road
in a blinding snowstorm
and hits a tree. Desperate to
keep her life intact – her job,
her husband and her precious daughter, Lily – Dorrie
Naomi Bowes lost her innocence the night she followed
her father into the woods. In
freeing the girl trapped in the
root cellar, Naomi revealed
the horrible extent of her
father’s crimes and made him
infamous. No matter how
close she gets to happiness,
she can’t outrun the sins of
Thomas David Bowes.
“Romantic suspense
luminary Quick moves into
edgy thriller territory with
intelligence and aplomb and
uses the backdrop of gaslight
tinted, death obsessed Victorian London to perfection. The
plot is smart and tight and the
characters complex, while the
subtle wink of humor toward
a successful mystery author’s
plight and romance subplots
will make fans smile. Quick’s
appealing new direction
somehow balances Gothic
intensity and lighthearted
wit.” Kirkus Reviews (starred

What is
Elder Abuse?
Each year hundreds of
thousands of older persons
are abused, neglected, and exploited. Many victims are people who are older, frail, and
vulnerable and cannot help
themselves and depend on
others to meet their most basic
needs. Abusers of older adults
are both women and men,
and may be family members,
friends, or “trusted others.”
In general, elder abuse is a
term referring to any knowing,
intentional, or negligent act by
a caregiver or any other person
that causes harm or a serious
risk of harm to a vulnerable
adult. Legislatures in all 50
states have passed some form
of elder abuse prevention laws.
Laws and definitions of terms
vary considerably from one
state to another, but broadly
defined, abuse may be:
• Physical Abuse - inflicting
physical pain or injury on a
senior, e.g. slapping, bruising, or restraining by physical or chemical means.
• Sexual Abuse - non-consensual sexual contact of any kind.
• Neglect - the failure by
those responsible to provide food, shelter, health
care, or protection for a
vulnerable elder.
• Exploitation - the illegal
taking, misuse, or concealment of funds, property,
or assets of a senior for
someone else’s benefit.
• Emotional Abuse - inflicting mental pain, anguish,
or distress on an elder
person through verbal or
nonverbal acts, e.g. humiliating, intimidating, or
threatening.
• Abandonment - desertion
of a vulnerable elder by
anyone who has assumed
the responsibility for care
or custody of that person.
• Self-neglect – characterized
as the failure of a person to
perform essential, self-care
tasks and that such failure
threatens his/her own
health or safety.
What are the
warning signs
of elder abuse?
While one sign does not
necessarily indicate abuse,
some tell-tale signs that there
could be a problem are:
• Bruises, pressure marks,
broken bones, abrasions,
and burns.
• Unexplained withdrawal
from normal activities.
• Sudden changes in financial situations may be the
result of exploitation.
• Bedsores, unattended medical needs, poor hygiene, and
unusual weight loss are indicators of possible neglect.
Most importantly, be alert.
The suffering is often in silence. If you notice changes
in a senior’s personality or
behavior, you should start to
question what is going on.
Remember, it is not your
role to verify that abuse is occurring, only to alert others of
your suspicions.
To report elder abuse 24/7

Tips for
Traveling
Be Practical
When Packing
Pack light. For a person
traveling with at least
some limitation, aim to
pack everything necessary
in a roll-aboard suitcase
plus a medium-size overthe-shoulder carry-on. Do
not check the roll-aboard
as luggage, as in-cabin
flight staff will gladly
stash it in the overhead
rack. Such will save a
lot of time at the final
destination airport.

All prescription and overthe-counter medications
should be placed in a one
quart zip-lock freezer bag,
including also copies of
any prescriptions and/or
physician statements in
the hand-carry bag. Do not
place the pill combinations
separately into a separate
plastic box as “the next
combined dosage.” Such
will never get through
security. Enclose also any
medical appliances
such as extra braces or
first-aid needs.
If toting gifts to relatives,
do not wrap them. Place
the items in the
roll-aboard luggage.
Think about
Safety, Security
and Comfort
There are thieves
everywhere and,
particularly, in high-traffic
travel centers. Don’t give the
scalawags any opportunity
to steal from you.
Women should not carry
a purse but, instead, a
money belt worn under a
blouse or a neat Passage
Wallet hidden under their
coat by a neck cord. Men
should not carry a wallet
in his back pocket but,
instead, the same Passage
Wallet from the neck cord
or as a hidden wallet
tucked into his pants
and secured by a cord
to his belt.
If traveling alone, always
keep your carry-on
between your feet when
standing, or with the
shoulder strap looped
around the leg of a chair
when seated.
For comfort, consider
the purchase of a travel
pillow, a c-shaped balloon
that supports the neck and
head when resting aboard
transportation.

From the Commissioner
By RICHARD ROSENZWEIG, Commissioner District 3
H
ello friends and
neighbors.
For those of you who
celebrated Easter, I hope you
had a special holiday surrounded by your family and
great friends.
I’d like to take a moment
now to thank those of you
who participated in the Resident Survey. As many of you
already know, the Deerfield
Beach Chamber of Commerce
has partnered with the City to
form an Economic Development Strategy that will ultimately benefit our residents
and businesses. We want to
make this a prosperous city
for all, and your vision is vital
to the plan that is created and
implemented.
I have several important
events to tell you about, but
I want to begin with our upcoming District 3 Meeting at 1
p.m. on Wednesday, April 13,
2016 at the Clubhouse in the
Village. I want to encourage
everyone to come out to meet
City staff, and hear about all
our new projects. You will
also have an opportunity to
ask questions if you have any.
Also happening on April 13
is the N.E. Focal Point, Cuisine
of the Region. This event is
taking place from 5:30 – 9
p.m. at the Hillsboro Club
located at 901 Hillsboro Mile
in Hillsboro Beach. There will
be dinner, gourmet desserts,
a live and silent auction, door
prizes and many wonderful
wines from around the world!
I encourage you to come out
to this 16th annual event for
charity. Tickets are $60 in
advance or $75 at the door. If
you need more information,
you may contact N.E. Focal
Point at 954-480-4460.
On April 16, we have a very
special event; Relay for Life is
raising money for the American Cancer Society. This is a
12-hour event that will take
place at Quiet Waters Park
from 6 p.m. on April 16 to 6
a.m. on April 17. It is a time
when many people come
together to remember loved
ones lost to cancer, celebrate
cancer survivors and raise
money that will continue to
help us fight this dreaded disease. There are activities and
entertainment throughout the
day and night; please join us
in the fight against cancer!
Finally, I want to let you
know that I am now officially
serving my term as your Vice
Mayor. I cannot tell you
enough what a privilege it is
to work for you, the people
and with that, I would like
to remind you that if you
would like to share an idea
or concern, please contact me
through the City Manager’s
Office at 954-480-4263 or via
email at: web.commission@
Deerfield-Beach.com. I also
want residents to know that
they can continue to stay
informed with the most upto-date happenings in District

Intervention Team (CIT)
course. CIT training was
developed to provide a more
intelligent, more effective
and safer approach to mental
health crises. This training
gives our operators the tools
they need to determine if a
call involves a mental health
concern and the steps they
can take to help defuse the
situation. The operator can
also determine if one of our
many CIT-trained deputies
needs to be dispatched to
help assist in a more careful,
understanding manner.
Our mission at BSO is to
provide the best possible
communications services not
only to the deputies, firefighters and paramedics we
serve, but also to the residents and visitors who may
need us at any hour.
Too often, the efforts of
emergency call takers and
dispatchers are taken for
granted, but in many instances, they are the unseen heroes
of our agency. In April we
honor public safety telecommunicators, and I wanted to
highlight these professional
and dedicated men and
women. They work tirelessly
as the critical link between
our community and emergency services.
Sheriff ’s Report
By SHERIFF SCOTT J. ISRAEL/ Broward County
“9
11; what is your
emergency?”
These are words you never
want to hear, but for our
E-911 call takers, they are all
too familiar. BSO’s call takers
and dispatchers are the first of
the first responders, responsible not only for receiving
incoming emergency calls,
but also for assessing the
importance of an emergency
and dispatching the appropriate resources and personnel to an incident.
In 2015, we handled 2.5
million calls from our community through our three
regional E-911 centers. That
is almost 7,000 calls that we
receive each and every day.
During each call, the men
and women behind the calm
voices on the other end of the
phone line are tasked with
getting as much pertinent
information from the caller as
possible while directing emergency services to a scene that
could be dangerous for everyone involved. The call taker
is quickly trying to figure out
the who, what, when, where
and why of a situation. They
know that the more information our law enforcement,
firefighters, and emergency
personnel have when they arrive on the scene, the quicker
they can assess a situation
and take appropriate action.
All medical calls are dictated by specific National Academy of Emergency Medical
Dispatch protocols. Every one
of our almost 500 call takers is
also specially trained to relay
these important medical in-
structions in the critical time
when emergency services are
on their way. This training
is necessary to talk callers
through any conceivable
emergency including those
requiring CPR, helping the
caller recognize the strength
and severity of a stroke or
seizure and sometimes even
relaying labor and delivery
instructions for births. Although these are extraordinary events in a person’s life,
they are daily occurrences
that our operators handle.
Our call takers know that
seconds can make the difference between life and death.
When I became sheriff, I
mandated that our operators

“Ask Lori…Parrish on Appraisals”
Broward County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish
Answers Your Questions…
M
issed the Traditional
March 1 Homestead
Exemption Filing Deadline?
Dear Lori,
I understand the deadline to
file for property tax exemptions
was March 1, 2016. I was out
of town on a business trip and
missed the March deadline. Can
I still file for this important
exemption for 2016?
F.P., Coconut Creek, FL (via
email)
Yes, you still have time to
file for your 2016 exemptions!
The traditional filing period
for 2016 Homestead and all
other exemptions was March
3, 2015 through March 1,
2016. The absolute deadline to
Late File for any 2016 property
tax exemption – if you missed
the March 1, 2016 timely
filing deadline is September 19, 2016. State law (Sec
196.001(8), Fla. Stat.) does not
allow late filing for property
tax exemptions after the September 19 late filing deadline,
regardless of any good cause
reason for missing the late
filing deadlines.
The Broward County
Property Appraiser’s Office
accepts late applications for
2016 Homestead, Senior,
Disability, Widow/Widower,
Granny Flat, Portability, NonProfit and all other exemptions until September 19, 2016.
To qualify for a 2016 exemption, you must have owned
the property and made it your
permanent residence on or
before January 1, 2016.
You may also be eligible
for Portability. Portability
allows Homesteaded owners to transfer some or all of
their Save Our Homes (SOH)
benefit from their old home to
their new home. Your Portability amount is determined
by the difference between the
Just Value and the Assessed/
SOH Value of your previous property in the year of
Homestead abandonment. If
you had a Florida Homestead
Exemption in 2014 or 2015,
gave up the exemption, and
moved to a new Homestead
by January 1, 2016, you may
be eligible for Portability. In
order to receive your Portability for tax year 2016, you
must file for Homestead and
complete a Portability application with our office by
September 19, 2016.
There are several ways to
complete your exemption application. You can apply online at www.bcpa.net, visit our
office at 115 S Andrews Ave.,
Room 111 in Fort Lauderdale,
or you can apply at one of our
many community outreach
events throughout the county.
View our entire outreach
calendar at www.bcpa.net/

we will be in your neighborhood. If you have any questions or need help with your
tax exemption applications,
please do not hesitate to contact us at 954.357.6830.

dentity Theft
With permission from the
Florida Consumer Newsletter
National Consumer Protection Week is a coordinated
campaign that encourages
people to learn about their
consumer rights and to make
better-informed decisions.
NCPW is also an opportunity to address a particularly
troubling and challenging
consumer protection issue,
identity theft.
Identity theft occurs when
an individual’s personal
information, such as their
name, Social Security number
or credit card number is used
without their consent to commit fraud and other crimes.
Identity thieves commonly use
the phone, postal mail, email
and the Internet to trick unsuspecting consumers into giving
out personal information.
Many victims of identity theft are unaware that
their information has been
compromised until they are
denied credit or sent a bill for
purchases they did not make.
According to the Federal
Trade Commission, Florida
has the highest per capita
rate of reported identity theft
complaints in the nation.
Minimize Your Risk of
Becoming a Victim
Prevent identity theft by
safeguarding your information. Shred financial documents and paperwork, protect
your Social Security number,
never click on links sent in
unsolicited emails and keep
your personal information in
a safe place.
Never give out personal
information unless you are
certain you know who you’re
dealing with or you initiated
the contact.
Order a free copy of your
credit report from each of the
three major credit bureaus
once a year, from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and
review them for discrepancies
such as accounts that you’re
unaware of or inaccuracies of
your information.

and Boy Scout leader. There
are many books written on all
subjects including survival,
merit badges, leadership,
wood carving, knot tying,
counselling. In one of these
books, tucked away almost so
it would never be found, was
this poem.
Written anonymously, it
is very meaningful and one
which has helped guide me as
a human being, a father and a
grandfather. Some things just
stick with you; some, become
part of you; some poetry lives
in you.
Sharing it with you, is my
pleasure.
“I took a piece of plastic clay
And, idly fashioned it one
day!
And, as I pressed it, still
it bent and yielded to my will.
I came again when days were
past
That bit of clay was hard at
last
My early impress still it bore.
And, I could change its form
no more.
You take a piece of living clay
And gently form it day by
day
Molding with your power
and art,
A young child’s soft and
yielding heart.
You come again when days
are gone
It is an adult you look upon!
Your early impress still it bore
You could change him/her
nevermore.
You are dealing with a child
That must be guided unaware
Must be shown, but oh so
gently
How to live upon the square.
Pins and badges aren’t the
object
Character building is the goal
Do not lose your courage,
(parents/teachers/grandparents)
You are piloting a soul.”
There is nothing else I can
add. Not even a finishing
sentence.
Shhhhhh!
Please be kind to your
neighbors. Keep your

ur bus trip to Hawaii, the Mai Kai Hawaiian Restaurant, on January 24, 2016 was a huge success!
The bus driver was great, and our representative met us at our destination to give us our seating
instructions; we were seated right in front of the
stage. Everyone seemed to enjoy the menu selection
offered to us. It was more than ample – more like a
Hawaiian feast!
After dinner, the show began with a beautiful

n Saturday, February 27, 2016 the CVE
Ping Pong Club organized its Third Annual
Tournament. Many participants (men and women)
showed up for what is already becoming a tradition
at CVE. There were some very skilled players competing in the Singles and Doubles leagues.
After some elimination rounds, the winner for
the Singles league was Rafael Angel who defeated
Arlington Burnett in the finals. Also on the Doubles
league, Nickolai Vladinov and Mei Tan emerged as
the winners in the finals, defeating Richard Epperly
and Joanna Russell. We would like to thank Roz
Sommers and members of the Referee Committee:
John Prestidge, Dick Festa, Pierre Lefebvre and Jerry
Gross for their hard work.
The Organizing Committee is headed by Director Jeff Farhat who has been the inspiration for
our club. Special thanks goes to Mgr. Pam Paul of
Dunkin Donuts at Hillsboro Blvd. and Powerline
Rd. who have been loyal supporters to this event.
Please support them whenever possible.
The CVE Ping Pong Club became official after
a meeting on January 18, 2016 with the following
board members: President: Roz Sommers; Vice-Presidents: Victor Dias and Dick Festa; Treasurer: Jerry
Gross. Being one the world’s most popular sports
and pastimes, table tennis has numerous health benefits, especially in a senior community such as CVE.
Besides the cardiovascular, it also improves fitness,
hand and eye coordination, is gentle on joints and
stimulates concentration.
According to Dr. Amen from the Table Tennis
Charity Foundation, table tennis is like aerobic chess,
not only stimulating body and brain but also very
useful for the prevention and treatment of brain diseases including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other
forms of dementia.
We encourage everyone who likes this sport to
become a member of our club and come to practice
and play every day from 9 to 10 a.m. in the Ping
Pong Room.
Steve shows fine form as he sets up.

Good Luck Comes In Threes
By SANDI LEHMAN
T
hey say that good luck
comes in threes and so
it did with me.
#1 – Many years ago I
went on a bus in Brooklyn,
New York. I was taking my
daughter, Linda, to a pediatrician’s office for a checkup.
She was three years old. I
held my daughter’s hand
along with my small purse of
cash to pay the doctor’s fee.
The bus was crowded with
teenagers rocking the bus
and I couldn’t wait to get off!
I realized later that I had
left my small purse with all
my money on the bus. At my
daughter’s doctor’s office
I called the bus company
and they said the bus driver
makes his route to Prospect
Park and then returns to the
bus depot.
I borrowed money from
the pediatrician to meet my
friend on Kings Highway.
We walked around, had hot
chocolate and my friend
said I should go back on the
bus and go to the bus depot
hoping someone turned
in my purse. So I did and
waited for a return bus to
come. The first bus was so
crowded that I decided to
wait for the next bus. The
next bus came and, as my
daughter and I got on, I
realized it was the same
bus I started out with and,
there on the same seat, was
my lost purse with all the
money in it!!
#2 – Last year in Century
Village, I visited friends at
their condo. When I left their
condo I searched for my
house keys and was unable
to find them. Thank goodness my friend had a set of
my keys so I was able to get
back into my apartment.
I looked all over my
apartment frantically – no
keys! The next morning we
drove back to my friend’s
condo parking area, found
a guest spot and as I
opened the car door, right
next to the door on the
pavement, was my house
keys. How lucky was I?
#3 – My partner Larry and
I ordered Chinese takeout to
my condo apartment. As the
spare ribs were very hard to
chew, I removed my bottom
bridge teeth and placed them
in a clean tissue on my table.
After dinner my partner
Larry took the garbage out

and threw it down the chute.
Then I looked for my dentures that I placed in a tissue.
It was nowhere to be found. I
was hysterical as I finally realized my bridge teeth must
be in the dumpster with the
rest of my garbage.
After thinking, what can
I do if my teeth denture was
lost in the garbage dumpster,
I got the idea of asking my
next door neighbor, Richard,
if he could help me. In a
flash, Richard got his ladder,
opened the dumpster door,
got on his ladder and retrieved the brown bag from
the garbage we sent down
the garbage chute.
As Richard picked up the
brown bag, I went through
my garbage and at the very
bottom was a small tissue and
when I opened that tissue,
there was my dental bridge!!!
Needless to say, my
prayers were answered and
a million thank you’s to my
wonderful neighbor, Richard, who helped solve the
mystery of my finding my
expensive denture bridge
in my garbage dumpster, at
night. How lucky was that?
So, my tale is Good Luck
comes in threes!!!

Don’t Read This
By HELENE WAYNE
I
’m sitting here about to
write something that
I promised myself I would
never do again. This is about
a restaurant that we really
enjoyed. The problem is that
the last time I wrote about
one several years ago, we had
a bad experience.
The one that I am referring
to was on Hillsboro Boulevard just down the road, a
bit. After the article appeared
in this newspaper, we went
there and the whole place was
filled with residents of CVE
and we had to wait a long
time for a table.
Tonight we decided to try
a little Italian restaurant that
opened up across the street. It
is in the little shopping mall
about three minutes from the
exit at the front gate, on Hillsboro. There were five of us,
each ready to check out their
good or bad food, whatever
the case may be.
We arrived at 6 p.m. and
Early Bird offerings were still
available. The meal included
a first course of soup or salad.
At this point, they brought
out their hot garlic rolls which
we all agreed were to die for.
Really delicious.
Two of us ordered Veal
Parmigiana and the other
three chose other dishes that
they preferred. The report
from each was positive, they
liked what they chose. But,
before the main course, the
ones who ordered salad
ordered Balsamic Vinaigrette
as their dressing. They served
this in a silver colored pitcher
and each one added it to their
salad. There was still some
left in the service pitcher
and that never got back to
the kitchen as everyone used
their spoons to lap it up and
renew the delicious taste
in their mouths. Two of us
ordered soup but cleaned off
our spoons and dipped into
the dressing also. (Both kinds
of soup got an A+ rating.)
The only problem with this
restaurant is that it is very
small. They have about five
or six tables inside. They also
have tables set up outside that
their server brings the food
out to. It is probably very
comfortable to dine outside
on a nice cool evening, probably okay on a warm one too
since it is under cover.
I’m telling you about this
but don’t want you to go
there on an evening that we
would like to have one of
their tables.
The name of the restaurant
is Mama’s N.Y. Pie & Pasta.

Breakfast Clubbers
T
here’s a group of six
men that started about
seven years ago with the intent of finding the best places
to go for breakfast every
Friday. It started in Cote St.
Luc, Montreal in the summer
time and moved to our winter retreat here in Century
Village where only four of us
are in attendance.
In alphabetical order, each
one of has to pick a restaurant that he thinks we will all
like – not too difficult because
most of us (except me; I’m
not a porridge lover) start off
with a bowl of porridge, then
on to a plate of well-done
bacon with eggs over easy or
very, very loose scrambled
eggs (and we are very adamant about the looseness of
the scrambling of the eggs!),
Sitting in the rocking chairs, reminiscing about the Borscht Belt

toast and coffee.
Well, this past Friday, one
of the boys remembered
that the Cracker Barrel was
right nearby; we had forgotten about it in the past, so
this time we went there. To
our surprise, the prices were
very reasonable, and the food
turned out to be not too bad.
Of course, there’s always
one of us that has a comment
to make about something of
any of the breakfast eateries
we go to. This time, the eggs
were perfect but the porridge – com si com sa. (That’s
French for so-so as spoken in
Brooklynese.)
As we were walking out
to pay our bill, what did we
see? A great big fireplace
with a crackling fire going
and throwing out a nice feeling of heat (yes, it happened
to be a chilly morning here in
Florida). After warming up,
we browsed the old style country store, as that is the style of
the Cracker Barrel franchise
throughout the U.S.
A while back, I remember
stopping at one of the Cracker
Barrels and finding about
three or four of the old-time

radio shows on tape, i.e., Jack
Benny, George Burns and
Gracie Allen. I loved those
programs! Ah, that brings
back many fond memories of
the good old days.
Where was I? Oh yeah,
after we finished browsing,
we went outside and sat on
the rocking chairs where there
was a big checkerboard with
the checkers already laid out
ready to play. But sitting out
on those rockers also brought
back the memories of the
Borscht Belt. After eating a
big breakfast there, we would
all go out and sit on the rock-
ing chairs until we would
hear a bell ringing and then
an announcement, “Lunch is
now being served in the main
dining room.”
The Borscht Belt is one
place no one ever forgets
about where there is lots of
food and that’s where many
of the well-known comedians of our day cut their teeth
on learning about comedy.
And so, after a little rest, we
got into the car and headed
back to Century Village to finish off another beautiful day
here in the tropical paradise
called Florida.

the
It Really Happened
By ELI COHEN
I
’m sure that every husband and wife has gone
through the experience of
feeling closed in with their
newborn children and want
to escape for even a short
time, to a movie or restaurant,
without their offspring. My
wife and I fit into that category when we were 30 years old
with three daughters, boxed
in, bored and thinking “Is this
what life is all about?”
So scanning the local newspaper under land for sale, I
spotted a three-line ad for lots
for sale on Cape Cod. It was
a good excuse to get out of
the house, in our van with the
kids and spend a day on the
road, to a place often talked
about but never visited.
Now, you must realize
this is 1960 when the current Route 3 to the Sagamore
Bridge which connects the
Cape to the mainland, was
nonexistent. Today it’s one
and a half hours driving time
from Boston. Then it was four
hours, going through main
streets of small towns, heading to the Cape.
Anyway, we finally arrive
at our destination where the
sign Sand Shore Association
greeted us. There was one
model cottage built, dirt roads
with strange names like Blueberry, Huckleberry, Barberry,
Gooseberry lane signs on both
ends of a circular road that
the different lanes intersected.
There were 194 lots, ¼ acres
each which were barren except for maybe three cottages
erected. When you entered
Sand Shores, you were on
Lakeside Drive and that road
circled around the lanes to
another exit.
We were especially pleased
to see a crystal clear pond at
the head of the development
that would go with the sale
of the lots. The price of the
lots facing the pond (Shubael
Pond) were around $1,500.
Yes, you are reading it right.
Because of our small children
possibly wandering to the
pond without us, we decided
to get a lot two streets back; if
only we had a checkbook in
our wallets.
What happened next
proved to be the thing that
changed the course of our
lives. The development owner
asked us as we entered the
model cottage, “Well, did you
see any lot that interested
you?” We weakly answered,
“Yes, but we don’t have any
money for a deposit.” He
answered, “Well, how much
money do you have?” I
looked in my wallet and said,
“I only have $35.” He shot
back, “I’ll take it as a deposit
and you can pay the balance
in monthly installments.” To-
P ast
tal cost of the lot was $900.
If anyone doesn’t know
what a shell home is, let me
explain. It is a home completely enclosed with windows, roof, etc., but nothing
else inside like ceilings or
partition walls. My mother,
who had recently remarried
after the passing of my father,
realized that we desperately
needed to put up a cottage
and cajoled her new husband
to loan us $3,900 for the half
basement foundation and
shell home. Upon visiting the
clearing of the lot and three
block high foundation, my
wife, pregnant with our third
child, danced on top of the
foundation with joyous exhilaration. It was the beginning
of summer fun, like getting a
drilled well for water, partitioning off rooms with studs,
insulating the outside walls,
putting up ceiling tiles over
studding and putting down
linoleum sticky tiles over the
plywood floor.
We then moved in, finished
or not, with our youngest
daughter reaching up over
her crib and eating some of
the insulation off the wall
studs. How would you like to
have a shower liner instead
of a door closing off your
bathroom with little toes
underneath the liner telling
you it’s their turn to use the
bathroom? Or, having your
daughters go between the 18”
studs, not closed off, into our
bedroom during the night, if
they couldn’t sleep.
With aunts and mothers contributing the toilets,
kitchen cabinets, sinks, tables,
and what not, the cottage
started to resemble a woodsy,
livable residence.
Panel by panel and door
by door, the place was a fun
place for our children to enjoy
the pond and nearby beaches
like Dowses in neighboring
Osterville, Massachusetts.
Summing up, it’s been 56
years since we erected that
very expensive (Yah) shell cottage and yes, we still use it to
this day. So, the moral of this
story, you don’t have to have
a lot of money sometimes, to
achieve your dream.
Memories of Music in the 40s, 50s and 60s
By MARILYN MCCORMACK
A
fter procrastinating for
eons, I finally decided
to downsize last month. Most
of the possessions I amassed
through the years held special
meaning and memories for
me; no way could I discard
them! I packed them away
for another day and justified
keeping them by remembering the old adage, “One
man’s junk is another man’s
treasure.” Through the years, I
continued saving my treasures
and lovingly put them aside in
boxes in my storage bin. Finally facing the task
at hand, I entered the storage bin. Inside were neatly
stacked boxes. As my eyes
gazed upon them, I noticed
one box – printed on it, in
bold letters, was Music/Records. Upon opening it, there
were 75 RPMs, 45 LPs and 33
1/3 records. Seeing them after
such a long time brought back
a rush of nostalgia, a longing
for the past and a wish that
the music of yesterday was
the music of today.
As my fingers caressed the
aging vinyl records, it took
me back to the 1940s. Closing my eyes, I could hear the
music echoing down memory lane. The labels on the
records noted recordings by
Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby,
Nat King Cole and Perry
Como, icons of the music
world. Tucked among them
were the Big Band recordings
– Glenn Miller, the Dorsey
Brothers and New Haven’s
own Artie Shaw. Recordings
by female artists – Kay Starr,
Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney and pop singers – Don
Cornell, Don Cherry, Tony
Martin and Guy Mitchell
were among the collection. Going back in time, I remembered Saturday afternoons with my girlfriend,
taking the bus to downtown
New Haven. The first store
we visited was the Record
Shop. Occasionally, the
store hired local singers to
croon the latest ballads while
customers browsed among
the record racks. In the store,
there were soundproof booths
where you could listen to
records you intended to buy
before the final sale. Most of
the records in my box came
from that store or were chosen after I heard them played
on the air waves.
I recall listening to Martin
Block and William B. Williams on The Make Believe Ballroom, WNEW New York, 1130
on your dial. My day started
with Music Radio WABC
770 AM with DJ, Herb Oscar
Anderson aka, the morning
mayor of New York, great DJs
spinning great records that
were the music of our lives
– but not for long. Your Hit
Parade was nearing the end
of its run, and the winds of
change were blowing through
the music world. A smile passed my lips as I
recalled the first time I heard
the new sound of music. I
was in a luncheonette drop-
ping quarters in a jukebox; I
played Shh Boom by the Crew
Cuts. The sound was toe tapping and head shaking music;
I wanted to abandon my
lunch, stand up and dance.
That was just the beginning. As time passed, many new
recording stars filled the
jukeboxes and air waves –
Little Richard, Chuck Berry,
Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley
and the Comets and the king,
Elvis Presley. With The Five
Satins, The Belmonts, The
Platters and Frankie Lymon
and the Teenagers, the age of
Doo Wop and Rock and Roll
was born! Teenagers loved
it; parents and authorities
condemned it – but no one
could stop it. Alan Freed,
Murray the K, Cousin Brucie
and Dick Clark produced
and promoted Rock and Roll
shows. From the Brooklyn
and Broadway Paramount
Theaters in New York to
Palisades Park in New Jersey,
rock and roll thrived for a decade. It was said that the day
the music of the 50s died was
February 3, 1959 following
the horrific plane crash that
killed Buddy Holly, Richie
Valens and the Big Bopper. The music held on until the
British invasion came on the
scene, with the era of pop,
rock and soul.
As I finished looking
through my records, I saw
that buried at the bottom
of the box were tapes of Jay
Black, Gary Puckett, Lenny
Welch, Mel Carter, Roy
Orbison and Neil Diamond,
some of my favorite singers
of the 60s. I smiled realizing,
with each decade, how much
music has changed through
the years; yet, my music of
the 40s, 50s and 60s continues
to live on. Thanks to public
television, CDs and DVDs,
the music will never die. Today, Bowzer and Jon Bauman
bring to the stage, Golden
Oldies, Doo-wop, Rock n Roll,
shows with recording stars of
the past. Are they old? You
bet! But so am I. Seeing them
perform and hearing their
music, the years slip away
and I’m young again. Could I
ever throw away the records
and tapes in that box? Never!
They are the memories, music
and treasures of my life.
Here’s a little trivia,
folks. Did you know Walter
Winchell (a newspaper reporter and radio personality
in the 40s and 50s) coined the
phrase at the opening of his
radio news show (and I paraphrase,) “Mr. and Mrs. North
America and all the ships at
sea, let’s go to press.” He also
gave the name disc jockey to
Martin Block.

Remembering Simon Wiesenthal
By MARVIN HERSHSORN
N
azi Hunter Remembered: The Conscience
of the World died at 96 on
September 20, 2005.
“Nazi war criminals all
over the world knew that
there was somebody hunting
them, not for vengeance, but
for justice.” (Rabbi Michael
Melchior, Israel’s former
Deputy Minister of Diaspora
and Social Affairs.)
Simon Wiesenthal, who
spent more than half of his
life tracking down Nazi
perpetrators throughout the
world, died at 96 in his sleep
on September 20, 2005 at his
Vienna home. He and his wife
Cyla lost 89 members of their
family in the Holocaust.
He survived numerous
death camps including the infamous Mauthausen in Austria
where he managed to evade
execution on several instances.
He was liberated on May 5,
1945. He weighed a paltry 44
kilograms upon his release.
His survival in itself is
a testament to the human
spirit. He was born in 1908 in
Buczacz, Galicia a small town
in Austria. This area is now
called the Lvov Oblast of the
Ukraine. He was a student of
architectural engineering at
the Technical University of
Prague. He graduated in 1932.
His father, a sales representative for a sugar refinery,
died in World War I. Simon
studied architecture in Prague
and then moved to what was
then the Eastern-Polish city
of Lvov (now the western
Ukrainian city of Lviv). There,
he married Cyla Müller, also
Jewish, in 1936. When German troops occupied Lvov
in 1941, life became a living
hell for its Jewish inhabitants.
Only 3,400 of the Jewish community’s 160,000 members
survived. Wiesenthal was
forced to work as a slave la-
borer in a railroad repair yard.
He later escaped, was recaptured and then spent time
in a series of concentration
camps -- including Plaszow,
Gross-Rosen, Buchenwald
and Mauthausen -- before
being liberated by American
soldiers on May 5, 1945.
After the war, he discovered that his wife had survived, working as a forced
laborer with a forged passport
in the Western German city
of Solingen. When the couple
was reunited in a refugee
camp in Linz, Austria, they
calculated that 89 of their relatives had been murdered.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and Dean of the Simon
Wiesenthal Centre in Los
Angeles wrote: “Instead of
sketching homes, he began
sketching the faces of the
murderers whom he watched
practice their inhumanity daily and began compiling lists
of names of those who had
come, not to beautify communities but destroy them.”
Wiesenthal is credited with
bringing more than 1,100 Nazi
war criminals to justice from
all over the world. He was tenacious in his pursuit of Nazi
criminals. These included:
Adolf Eichmann, the cruel
genius who masterminded
Hitler’s “Final Solution.”
Karl Silberbauer, the Gestapo officer responsible for
the arrest and detention of
Anne Frank.
Franz Stangl, the commandant of Treblinka and
Sobibor.
Hermine BraunsteinerRyan, a housewife living on
Long Island who supervised
and orchestrated the murder of hundreds of children
during the war. One million,
five hundred thousand Jewish children were among the
death camp victims.
The trained architect
became the voice of the Six
Million Jews who died in the
death camps. Hier said that
“Every (Holocaust) survivor
in the Western World walked
a little taller and felt a little
more secure because Simon
Wiesenthal was out there
defending the honor of their
loved ones who perished.”
We, the generation of
the Holocaust, victims
of the world’s darkest
premeditated crime must
realize that Wiesenthal’s
passing is not only a loss
for the Jewish people but
must be remembered by
the entire civilized society.
We must learn the lessons
of the darkest past and
strive for justice, truth
and enlightenment. The
apocalyptic tragedy that was
the climax to centuries of
pogroms, disempowerment
and degradation of Jews
world-wide has witnessed a
renewal of Jewish pride and
self-respect.
We honor an awakening of
Jewish identity and culture.
We see an empowered Jew
arising from the ashes of Auschwitz. Rabbi Michael Melchior, Israel’s former deputy
minister of Diaspora and
Social Affairs, said Wiesenthal
“taught an entire generation
that you learn from the past
and use your knowledge to
build on the past for the future for the Jewish nation and
for all humanity.”
Former Canadian Prime
Minister Paul Martin praised
Wiesenthal’s search for justice
…he demonstrated “extraordinary perseverance.” While
former Canadian Justice
Minister Irwin Cotler noted
that Wiesenthal was “the
conscience of humanity, the
pursuer of justice.”
Wiesenthal’s legacy was
an inspiration to those who
believe in the rule of law, a
global civic ethic and the ultimate victory of good over evil.
His lessons are universal
but profoundly noted in Europe which the Nazi experiment left in political, economic, spiritual and material ruin.
Terry Davis, former council
of Europe Chairman noted
that “Europe would never
have succeeded in healing its
wounds and reconciling itself.
He was a soldier of justice,
which is indispensable to our
freedom, stability and peace.”
Wiesenthal was never driven
by hatred. He knew that hatred
consumes the vessel it contains. His search for justice
exceeded a need for vengeance. His goal was to send a
strong message to the future’s
potential killers then to the
real murderers of the past.
“I am someone who seeks
justice, not revenge. My work
is a warning to the murderers
of tomorrow that they will
never rest.”
He saw his life mission as
a means to make a point. The
point was that perpetrators
must be held responsible for
their actions. The lesson was
that looking backward is looking ahead. He knew that he
would outlive the Nazis. This
was his destiny.
By choosing the Nazi hunter role Wiesenthal accepted
a commitment to represent
the victims of the Holocaust,
those who survived and all
future generations. He said, “When history
looks back, I want people to
know that the Nazis weren’t
able to kill millions of Jews and
six million others in the death
camps and get away with it.”
It is our responsibility
to ensure the world never
forgets. “Never Again.” Must
be the civilized world’s motto.
We must all become the
custodians of a tolerant
global civic ethic where the
rule of law and due process
remains the instrument of
civilized nations.
On International Holocaust
Remembrance Day, celebrated
on January 27, 2016, we
honored the survivors of the
regimes of hatred and challenged ourselves to use the
lessons of their experience to
inform our lives today.
International Holocaust
Remembrance Day is a time
when we seek to learn the
lessons of the past and to
recognize that genocide does
not just take place on its own;
it’s a steady process which
can begin if discrimination,
racism and hatred are not
checked and prevented.

T ravel
Oregon or Bust, Part Five
By RICHARD WILLIAM COOKE
F
rom Cloverdale, California to Canyon de
Chelly, Arizona
From Cloverdale, I drove
in a wide, heavy trafficavoiding circle around San
Francisco, Oakland and San
Jose, through never-ending
farmlands of the San Joaquin
Valley, to Fresno for my next
night. I wanted to get an
early start the next morning
to see both Kings Canyon and
Sequoia National Park, two
parks I had never visited; they
were only 55 miles away.
Up early and on my way
on a hot, sunny morning, I arrived at Kings Canyon in time
for a gorgeous sunrise. The
sky streaked with pink, orange and gold, above the reds
and purples of the canyon
provided a most unforgettable sight. The high, winding,
narrow road connecting the
two parks (reaching 7,600 feet
at Big Baldy Saddle) is definitely not recommended for
motorhomes or large trailers
– although I saw some foolish
drivers taking that risk.
Sequoia National Park, sec-
ond oldest national park after
Yellowstone, turns the clock
back 3,000 years as you stroll
through grove after grove
of the largest trees on earth;
many of them have stood
for hundreds of years. Their
height, over 300 feet, and base
circumference of over 100
feet, make them awe-inspiring
sights. The General Sherman, one of the most-visited
Sequoia trees in the park, is
the largest living thing in the
world, growing enough new
wood each year to produce a
60 foot tall tree of usual size.
After a night in Visalia,
California, a long 500 mile
drive awaited me to get to
Kingman, Arizona for the
night. Kingman was established in the 1880s with the
arrival of the railroad. The old
train depot stands near downtown and is now the city’s
Visitor Center, and the 100 car
long freight trains still rumble
through. A number of ghost
towns are close by, remnants
of the booming Arizona mining days of yore.
The next day, as I started
out for Flagstaff, I veered
off I-40 so that I could drive

the old Route 66, first completely paved highway in the
country and memorialized
forever by Nat King Cole’s,
Get Your Kicks on Route 66.
Flagstaff’s popularity continues to be maintained as
the main stop on the longest
existing stretch of this historic
route. I drove the 100 mile
(now isolated) stretch, over
narrow two-lanes, through
Seligman (a popular pit stop
for tour buses), Peach Springs
and Valentine (both towns
where you blink and you’ve
passed them) and Hackberry,
its Hackberry General Store,
probably the most memorable
stop along the historic road.
Walking into the place is like
entering a time capsule of the
period. A 1957 red Corvette
convertible sits outside the
ramshackle gas and convenience store; rustic old Texaco
and Phillips 66 signs hang
all around; rusted gasoline
pumps sit out front. Inside,
a cluttered convenience cum
museum, is a browser’s delight; and there are a couple
of falling down barns, a windmill and a friendly, bored
donkey out back. The whole
site looks like a set from The
Grapes of Wrath.
There were a couple of
young men who stopped to
wander through the place,
and they were speaking in
Italian. I asked where in Italy
they were from. “Venezia,”
they said. I told them how
much I loved my visit to their
city of Venice and asked if
this was their first time in
America; it was. They flew to
Los Angeles, rented a car and
drove up to San Francisco and
were now headed to Las Vegas
before flying home. I asked
them what they thought of our
country so far. “We love it!
We want to live here!”
Flagstaff grew up around
a railroad depot and contains historic buildings from
the late 1800s to early 1900s.
The town was named for
a ponderosa tree that was
stripped of its bark and used
as a flagstaff by members of
an exploration party. When
wagon trains, bound for California, spotted the flagstaff,
they knew they had a good
place to camp. The day I
was in town, a vibrant Navajo festival had closed down
Main Street and was host to
Navajo dancers in native garb,
as well as groups of Navajo
musicians playing animal
hide drums. A rare sight was
that of a young Navajo man
dressed in animal skin shirt
and trousers and wearing
a brilliantly-colored Indian
feather headdress, crooning
and gyrating like an Elvis
impersonator!

Flagstaff to Sedona, down
Canyon de Chelly. Source: Wikipedia.
through verdant and lush,
winding, twisting, two-lane,
tourist-choked Oak Creek
Canyon, is one of the area’s
most popular tourist must dos.
It’s also the only way to get
from Flagstaff to Sedona unless you want to spend many
extra miles on Interstate
17! Known for the fire-hued
rocks and pinnacles that surround it, Sedona has served
as the backdrop for dozens
of Western movies.
Sedona is also said to
contain a high number of
vortexes, purportedly engines
of spiritual energy. Along the
town’s main street, there are
countless businesses specializing in alternative medicine
and vortex or spiritual tours.
Artists have also flocked to
Sedona; and many galleries
offer paintings, sculpture and
other creative doo dads. There
is an arts and crafts village,
just south of Sedona, modeled after a small Mexican
town with a theatre, performing musicians, galleries and
restaurants. Sedona? I was
under impressed. There is a
far greater abundance of desert scenery elsewhere in the
area. And the art galleries and
specialty craft shops? Meh!
Too much catering to the taste
(or lack thereof ) of tourists.
While in Sedona, I drove
south to Red Rocks State Park,
a lovely quiet nature park
with a bubbling creek running
through it and a wonderful
vista of the red rock peaks to
its east. I struck up a conversation with a man who
was patiently waiting, with
his large professional camera
on a tripod, for the just right
moment for the sun to hit the
rocks. I asked him if he was a
professional, and he told me
he was hoping to be but that
he was currently a laborer.
Turns out he came to this
country from Mexico with his
wife and child in an effort to
escape the drug wars and find
a better opportunity for himself and his family. I told him,
“We welcome immigrants!
My grandparents were immigrants, too!”
We had such a friendly visit, and I was impressed with
his ambition, his gentle grace
and lovely wife and daughter,
to whom I was introduced.
Now, through Navajo
country to Canyon de Chelly
National Monument, well up
into the far northeastern corner of Arizona. It’s a destination you have to plan for as
it requires a side trip drive of
several hours through isolated, hot, withering desert on a
two-lane road. You have to
make sure your gas tank is at,
or close to, full. No facilities exist until you get to the
town of Chinie, three miles
east of the canyon.
But, my! That canyon! It
is a narrow, incredibly deep
canyon of virtually sheer
1,000-foot-high, red sandstone walls on the Navajo
Reservation, sacred to the
tribe and subject to their rules
and regulations. Two scenic
drives traverse both sides of
the canyon’s rim and afford
breath-taking, heart-stopping
views straight down to the
canyon floor. I won’t soon
forget watching one young
man climb over the protective
rock wall and stroll to the rim
of the canyon to get a closer
view. He stood there for what
I thought was an extraordinarily long time; I was trying
not to watch, not knowing
what his plans were, until he
turned and walked back to
the safety of the trail.
The only way to travel
down into the canyon is with
a registered Navajo guide, a
ruling strictly enforced. Prior
to the Navajo’s arrival in the
canyon, sometime in the 17th
Century, it was occupied
by early Pueblo groups and
then later by Hopis. Today,
Navajos continue to live in
the canyon, growing corn and
herding livestock.
A retired couple pulled in
and parked next to me in the
parking area. We greeted
each other, did the usual,
“And where are you from?”
When she said Visalia, California I said, “I just spent a
night there a couple of weeks
ago! Do you know the Lamplighter Inn?”
“Do we know it! We live
two blocks away, and it’s
where we had our daughter’s
wedding!” Small world! We
are all truly just six degrees
away from separation.

A
rt Expo 2016 has
come and gone! This
year, we had 288 entries
in the following mediums:
oil, acrylic, watercolor,
mixed media, sculpture,
pottery, photography and
jewelry. These works of art
belonged to 94 artists. The
two-day exhibit was visited
by hundreds of visitors, not
only from the Village but also
friends and relatives outside.
One of the highlights of the
show was the reception on
Saturday evening when the
Best of Show in the Professional - Joan Shultz
Art Club of CVE, the Stained
Glass and Camera Clubs,
the Lee and Arnold Paglia
Store and another sponsor
presented scholarships to
five students of Deerfield
Beach High School. This was
also when the Best of Show
in the Non-Professional and
Professional categories were
announced. There is no
question that the show was
a tremendous success with
comments heard from many
who visited the show – “The
best ever!”
We are most pleased
that we can give the many
Best of Show in the Non-Professional Jacqueline Laprise
talented artists here in CVE
an opportunity to show off
their amazing works. We have
already met to plan next year’s
show which will take place on
March 4 and 5, 2017. Be sure
to mark your calendars and
plan on attending.

F
ive students from Deerfield Beach High School
were awarded Certificates of
Scholarship Achievement by
the Art Club of Century Vil-
lage East for their outstanding
art work. Along with the Certificates, money was donated
to the school’s Art Program to
help further along the desire
for students to continue to
improve their artistic talents.
T
he Art Show was held
on March 5 and 6, 2016.
Of the close to 100 registered
artists, 30 were Francophone
Alliance members. They
were well represented in all
categories (oil, acrylic, watercolor, photography, mixed
media, stained glass) and
also at all levels.
Of the 56 ribbons awarded to CVE artists for their
works, 22 went to the Alliance
members; close to half of the
ribbon crop!
And congratulations to Mrs.
Jacqueline Laprise for winning
the Best Artist in the NonProfessional level with her
award-winning piece of art.

Clubhouse Library Volunteer Luncheon

lubhouse Library of
CVE held its Annual
Volunteer Luncheon on Saturday, March 12.
Volunteers give a minimum
of three hours of their time
per week. There are various
duties that they perform. For
example, there is the Reservist
who suggests which of the
Best Sellers someone might
want to read, places books
on hold, calls people when a
book has arrived for them and
keeps track of the books when
they are returned. Then there
is the Assistant Reservist who
checks in the returned Best
Sellers and helps the Reservist. There is the Boutique
where we exchange donated
items for cash donations. We
use these funds to purchase
new Best Sellers. We also
have someone at the door to
greet people as they come in
and to check out books that
are not Best Sellers. There
are also behind the scenes
people who process the
books, process donations to
the Boutique, pay the bills
and organize the books.
The Library has a Board
of Directors who makes any
major decisions concerning
the Library. No one receives
any pay for volunteering
in the Library, not even the
Board of Directors. Several
people, especially Board
members, put in many hours
above and beyond the three
hour minimum. Each year we
hold a luncheon to show the
volunteers how much we appreciate their service. Please
contact Frieda Isaacs, 954-5313835, if you are interested in
volunteering at the Library.
For this year’s luncheon,

we originally hired the Clubhouse Diner to cater the affair
in the Party Room; and as you
all know, the Diner went out
of business the week before.
We scurried to find a replacement and were blessed to find
Chef Elisa’s Catering, based in
Sunrise. Speeches were kept
short, door prizes were given
out and everyone enjoyed the
delicious food.

A
Miami home with a
basement! Do you
think I’m making this up? A
figment of my imagination?
No, it actually exists in none
other than the Deering Estate
Richmond Cottage
home of Charles Deering. The
name may ring a bell with
you; it’s associated with the
renowned Vizcaya, mansion
of James Deering who was
Charles’ stepbrother. They
were both art collectors and
both estates are listed on the
National Historical Register
and situated on beautiful
Biscayne Bay. There the
similarities end, and some of
the brothers’ legacies differ a
great deal.
James, the younger brother,

‘Twas the Night of
March 24, 2016
By SY BLUM, Associate Editor
A
round Grantham E,
Norm Feigen (along
with his wife Lee) is the go
to guy who has gone out of
his way many times in an
effort to enhance the already
wonderful lifestyle of our
residents.
Foremost of these perks
are the barbeques Norm has
put on over the past several years. Aided by a cadre
of selfless volunteers, we
have enjoyed excellent food
and great times under blue
skies (most evenings) in our
parking lot.
And so it was on the night
of the headline above. Once
again, although skies were
threatening as they frequently do in South Florida,
we were looking forward to
more of the same.
Cognizant of the weather, Norm and crew set up
tables and chairs under
our pool canopy just to be
reasonably sure it would
not rain on our parade. How
wrong we were!
The very heavy barbeque
unit itself was moved closer
to the scene of action, and
the food was started on
the grill as the participants
made themselves comfortable under the canopy. As
if on cue, it started to rain
just as the prepared food
was ready to be served. Not
to worry, we were protect-
facts. Throughout the estate
one sees museum quality. All
is magnificent in conception
and detail. Having visited
Vizcaya before, I recalled
its breathtaking beauty. It’s
a Florida icon of supreme
elegance.
ed by the canopy or so we
thought.
If we knew then what we
know now, we would have
called the whole thing off.
Along with the rain came
winds clocked at 50 mph
that turned the whole scene
into a near disaster. The
canopy no longer offered
any shelter, and the carefully prepared food was being
drenched by the elements.
This writer does not know
just how much food was actually consumed except that
I managed a hamburger and
a bit of salad. It soon became evident that we actually had to seek shelter in the
nearby bathhouse, which
quickly became almost as
crowded as a subway at
commuter time. Someone
did salvage the coffee maker
and got it going in the Men’s
Locker Room which suddenly became unisex. Along
with the men, our fair ladies
availed themselves of coffee.
When it became evident
that the much-anticipated
barbeque was no more, people ventured into the downpour to get home. This
writer was fortunate to have
someone with a giant umbrella accompany me home.
The anti-climax came the
following night when Norm
and crew were able to serve
the dessert; understandably,
not many showed up. Key
lime pie, anyone?
States. Edith Deering ran the
Cottage as an Inn; later, the
family lived there until their
Spanish-style villa was built.
The original Cottage was
destroyed by Hurricane
Andrew in 1992. All that
remained of this plain wood-
Stone House
I came away from the
Deering Estate with a completely different appreciation. Our guides told us that
their mission is to preserve
Charles Deering’s passions:
to foster ecology, archeology
and philanthropy. Doubtless,
the Deering Estate manifests
much that is lovely to look
at, especially Stone House.
The public sees beauty in the
buildings and surroundings;
many have chosen this setting
for their wedding. Yet, I believe this art functions mostly
to raise funds for environmental and scientific studies.
Walking a half mile on a
dirt road, we learned about
the ecology and history of the
area. Elias, our guide, pointed
out stopper plants, wild coffee
plants, pigeon plums and
trees in the tropical hardwood
hammock. He said that much
of the vegetation in these
woods was for 12,000 years,
used for medicinal purposes by the cultures that lived
there – Paleo Indians, Tequestas and Seminoles. Rather
than relying on CVS, these
people knew native remedies
for stomachaches, poisonous plants and rashes. They
valued and preserved nature’s
offerings so they would remain for future generations.
Now, the Deering Estate’s
Foundation continues this
mission of education and historic preservation. Elias also
indicated an area within the
hammock – a midden – where
Native American groups left
their refuse. Over the centuries, it was covered over and
was only recently discovered.
Archeologists have been
poring over the arrowheads
made of shells and other tools
of those times.
Having enjoyed the outdoors, we were primed to
tour and learn about the
buildings. The first house that
Charles purchased in 1913,
Richmond Cottage, is in the
Town of Cutler. It was billed
as the southernmost hotel on
the mainland of the United
en structure was the pantry
and kitchen. Our guide,
Anna, showed us the reconstructed living and dining
rooms. All seemed a tawny
color, both walls and floors
of Dade slash pine. Photographs on the walls depicted
native Seminole tribes and
others were family portraits.
Furniture was sparse, if at all
present. Silver platters and
china in the pantry cupboards were attractive.
Charles owned mansions in
Spain and amassed collections
of El Greco, Diego Velasquez
and Rembrandt. He wanted
to bring paintings to Florida
but the Cottage was too small
so he built the Stone House.
This villa was architect-designed and has many intricate features. The building’s
façade presents as though
made of stone. Its thick walls
are actually concrete covered
by stone. Vivid pink archways
bring bright color as do yellow irregular borders around
the windows. These plaster
borders suggest aging of the
building, as though the stone
had worn away. Anna told
us to look carefully at the red
roof tiles; they have different sizes because they were
shaped on women’s thighs!
Concrete pillars around the
building are topped by caps
engraved with different facets
of nature – crabs, monkeys,
pelicans, snakes or swans.
Inside, a ceiling in one
room depicts the same facets
that we saw carved on the exterior. However, there is again
a paucity of furniture and
art. After their parents died,
the daughters donated many
pieces to Vizcaya, Northwestern University and the
Institute of Art in Chicago.
One hanging painting is a
self-portrait by Charles. As
an art patron, he had supported several artists such
as John Singer Sargent who
encouraged him to pursue a
career in painting.
Charles disparaged his
own painting. When he gave
family members his work,
he asked them to promise to
destroy the paintings at his
death; we are lucky that a few
were spared that fate. Something I hadn’t noticed until
Anna pointed it out was the
copper-clad doors and brass
Pelican displayed on top
of column of Stone House
window frames throughout
the home. “He must have
been paranoid about fire,”
she commented. There was
no stove in the kitchen; all
cooking was done in the Richmond Cottage.
Stone House was built on
a slightly higher elevation in
the area making it possible
to have a cellar. As a finale
to the house tour, we went
to an old fashioned gated
elevator and descended. A
complicated walkway led to
a large wooden cupboard.
Only the initiated would
have known to reach inside
its closed shelves and turn
the cupboard around, revealing a huge vault. It was
protected by two doors with
locks. Inside were floor-toceiling racks. All were filled
with wine bottles with only
the bottle bottoms showing.
Anna explained that the
House was built during Prohibition, hence the secret and
heavily-guarded wine cellar.
A footnote to this story is
told by the Nature Conservancy, State of Florida and
Miami Dade County historians. The property was sold
to these entities after Charles’
remaining daughter, Barbara
Deering Danielson, passed
away. The historians found
the cellar but no one had the
keys; and being unable to
break the locks, they hired a
vault breaker to do the job.
Once inside, they found all
the bottles massed together,
cracked and broken. Only a
few empty bottles were intact
and have been, along with
replicas, preserved for history. The bottles contained
nothing but muddy water.
During Hurricane Andrew,
the cellar flooded and the
racks shifted and smashed
the bottles. Fortunately, the
house itself suffered only a
few broken windows and
remains for us to enjoy today.
Visit the Estate yourself to
appreciate the legacy and
view the historic cellar!

Helpful Health Hints
By DR. NORMA LOCKER
N
atural Prevention and
Treatment of Colds.
According to Marilyn vos
Savant, “Cold viruses can survive for a while after a sneeze
or a cough, but they do not
live independently in the air,
either indoors or outdoors.
So you can take a long hike
in a freezing rain, then return
home to alternately heat and
chill yourself by jumping in
and out of your backyard hot
tub while the rain turns to
snow and you can still be sure
you will not catch a cold.”
However, as I stress to the
people in my class, if you believe and expect that you can,
your subconscious will gladly
accommodate you.
*Keep your spirits high to
avoid depression which can
compromise your immune
system. Most colds are contracted when your immunity
is at a low level. Try to avoid
becoming agitated or overly
emotional about anything.
Force yourself to smile or
hum or sing and you’ll feel
how your mood changes.
Meditate to achieve peace
of mind. (Enroll in my class
Body/Mind & Spirit to enjoy
a unique meditation experience and to learn how to
manage stress, heal yourself,
change your thinking and
change your life.)
*Eat a well-balanced diet
free of sugary, salty junk foods
and fatty, high calorie fast
foods. Introduce more fresh,
raw, colorful natural fruits
and vegetables into your daily
regimen. If you cannot tolerate
raw veggies, steam them lightly so you’re at least deriving
some of their benefit.
Washing of Cars
Washing of cars with fresh water is
prohibited in all areas of the Village.
*Vitamin C, either ingested daily from citrus fruits or
dietary supplements, helps to
strengthen your immunity.
*Beta-carotene which
converts to Vitamin A in your
body is another immunity
booster. Yellow, orange, red
and dark green fruits and
veggies contain beta-carotene.
*Green tea has immune-system boosters which
help fight off viruses. Steeped
for three to five minutes,
green tea has been shown by
studies to be the best food
source of catechins, plant
compounds that halt oxidative damage to cells.
*Echinacea, if taken within
the first day or two of symptoms may shorten the duration of a cold. Follow directions on the bottle.
*Grapes and grape juice
are effective anti-viral aids.
*Zinc lozenges may reduce
inflammation of membranes
associated with sore throats.
They can also boost your
immune response. If you are
taking a zinc supplement, forgo it while using the lozenges. Do not overdose on zinc.
Follow the directions on the
bottle carefully.
*Alpha CF a homeopathic
remedy by Boericke & Tafel,
in pill or liquid form, if taken
at the first symptom of a cold
or scratchy throat can prevent
a cold or flu from taking hold.
Follow the directions implicitly and take it 15 to 30 minutes
after food or peppermint
flavoring. I use the tablet form
and it’s been working for me
for years. You may find it at
health food stores.
*Elderberries are loaded
with antioxidants. At the first
sign of flu-like symptoms take
a spoonful of elderberry syrup.
*A teaspoon of powdered
or crushed ginger, a teaspoon
of honey, and a dash of lemon juice in a cup of chamomile tea taken at least four
times a day can heal a sore or
scratchy throat.
*A teaspoon of cayenne
pepper and a teaspoon of
powdered garlic in a cup of
tea can loosen chest congestion. Add honey to sweeten.
*Inhale steam infused with
a few drops of eucalyptus
essential oil, or irrigate nasal
passages with a saline rinse
for a stuffy nose and/or sinus
congestion.
*Wash hands thoroughly
for at least 20 seconds and
frequently. If your home has
been invaded by cold or flu
viruses, immediately disinfect
all areas with alcohol that
have been touched. Also, if
you don’t live alone make
sure that hand towels are
not shared. Hand sanitizers
are okay if used in moderation. Learn to hug instead
of shaking hands. Hugging
has many other therapeutic
values also. You can say,
“Sorry, I don’t shake hands.
May I hug you instead?”

Peripheral Neuropathy
P
eripheral neuropathy is
the part of the nervous
system comprised of the cranial, spinal and sympathetic
nervous system. In simple
terms, it’s a disease or abnormality of the nervous system.
Jessica Horine, exercise
physiologist, and Nathan
Richtmyre, neuromuscular
specialist, of NeuroPulse
Health Solutions of Boca
Raton have one goal in mind
for people with peripheral
neuropathy and that is to
bring people back to a level
of physical and mental health
they had prior to neuropathy.
Q: Nathan, why did you
decide to become a neuromuscular specialist?
A: My parents have peripheral neuropathy brought
on by chemotherapy. A lot of
people attribute it to old age
but researchers show it’s due
to inactivity as we get older.
Q: What training is necessary to get into the field of
neuropathy?
A: An understanding of
the nervous, muscular and
vascular systems and how the
body degenerates to the point
where it has pain, burning,
tingling, numbness, heaviness
or fatigue as a result of degeneration. That’s why Jessica,
being an exercise physiologist, is so important; she
understands how movements
of the body should be.
Q: How long is the training?
A: A basic understanding
of how the body moves and
works involves a minimum
of four years. Neither one
of us is a doctor; we’re more
like scientists trying to make
the world a better place. My
background was in psychology and Jessica’s was in
exercise physiology.
Q: What are the symptoms
of neuropathy?
A: Pain, burning, tingling,
fatigue, cramping, swelling or
numbness.
Qs: What brings it on?
A: Many things – chemotherapy, antibiotics, surgery,
injuries or illness. Diabetes
Type II is a primary cause.
My parents are pre-diabetic,
and my mother is starting to
experience heaviness, fatigue
and numbness in her legs; she
can’t feel her feet when she
gets done working.
Q: How many treatments
does it take to feel some relief?
A: About 12 weeks since
we’re talking about a neuromuscular adaptation and
how the body rewires itself. It
could be longer or a little bit
shorter; it requires about three
treatments a week.
Q: Have you received any
comments from your patients?
A: They talk about having
more mobility. What we hear
is that they feel younger; your
true age is the health of your
spine and joints.
Q: What is your overall feeling about what you are doing?
A: As far as we are concerned, neuropathy reduces
you to the point where your
body starts to fall apart.
Movement is the basis of life;
peripheral neuropathy attacks
the feet and ankles and is one
of the largest contributing factors for becoming sedentary.
People lose vitality because
they can’t move due to their
feet or legs hurting. Pain is a
learned response in the brain
and becomes habitual if you
wake up each morning and
your feet hurt; they’re going
to hurt more because you pay
more attention to it.
Our goal is to direct attention away from pain by understanding how your body
is supposed to move. Sometimes people don’t know the
difference between pain and
soreness. You’re going to feel
the natural pull of your muscles versus hurt; they begin
to blend those two together
which is called Neuromuscular Conditioning. It’s about
re-conceptualizing the stimulus your body experiences.
Typically, when people feel
pain, they think it’s bad; it’s
not. I work out every day and
feel pain – “no pain, no gain.”
Your body is either growing
or it’s falling apart.
Q: What is your ultimate goal?
A: To come up with a
successful non-invasive
treatment and a more thorough understanding. There
are very strong correlations
that people who are the most
inactive also have the worst
peripheral neuropathy. Why
is that? What’s falling apart
and can it be reversed? How
far can it be reversed and or
be prevented?
I next had the opportunity to
speak with a 69-year-old client,
Scott Wilhelm of Boca Raton.
So Scott, what was it that
prompted you to seek this neuropathy treatment?
I have had this condition
for 25 years and it’s been
progressive. I was in the
construction arena and on
my feet all day. When I’m
up and around, I don’t even
think about it but later on, I
discovered I had this feeling
at the bottom of my feet as if
my sock had slipped down
my boot and I was walking on
it. As time went by, I realized it’s not a sock and that
something was going on. As
I became older, I’ve become a
little more attentive to the fact
that it is still going on and becoming a little more intense.
When I sit down at night, my
feet talk to me; I would feel a
tingling and sometimes, sharp
needle-like pin pricks. When
Stretching and joint mobilization techniques allowing blood to
reach and repair tissues.
lying down in a supine position, it was more difficult to
get to sleep. It became more
intense in my mind.
When you were lying down
was there a feeling of numbness
in your feet? Yes.
Was that almost immediate
when you were lying down? I
think it was always there except when I’m on my feet and
moving around, I didn’t pay
attention to it. When I just
sit or lay down, that’s when
my attention goes right to that
area. I’ve looked around on
the Internet and looked at various things about peripheral
neuropathy and all I could
find were medications that
were available via a doctor
that just seemed to mask the
problem. I don’t like to take a
lot of medications.
I moved to Boca and read
this article about peripheral neuropathy; they wrote
about a free lecture of which
I availed myself and made
an appointment. At the end
of the lecture, I was able to
speak to the speaker who
answered some questions. I
made an appointment, and
that’s when I met Jessica and
Nathan. Nathan explained
what goes on, what conditions prevail and asked how
I felt. Then Jessica proceeded
to test for pressure, vibration
and sensitivities in the area of
concern. She came up with a
comparison of other people
that have come up before me.
I then arranged to be here
for these sessions, and it’s
worked out wonderfully well.
I’ve been here five weeks,
coming three times a week;
now I can lie down in bed at
night and my feet don’t talk. I
still have some numbness that
may not go away but I can
deal with it, and the intensity
I had previously isn’t there.
Jessica, what do you say
in reference to what Scott has
said? Is this a typical feeling of

The Other Side of the Coin and the Truth is…
By MICHAEL ROUTBURG
W
hat does the phrase
“the truth is” mean?
Does it mean that up until
now the person has been lying? Does it mean that, Eureka, the person had an epiphany and can now prophetically
expound the truth?
Science is a continual
search for truth. That which
was thought to be true yesterday may be shown not to be
true today. Truth is a journey
that leads us from one Truth
#l to Truth #2 as we learn and
Tipping
By ELI COHEN
Y
es, tipping is done
almost every day.
Just think of it, you tip your
waitress, your golf person
who loads your golf bag into
the golf carts, your attendant
who brings your luggage to
your hotel room, your pizza
delivery person, your taxi
cab driver, etc. The list goes
on and on, but the one we
talk about the most is our
restaurant dining experience.
understand more.
Is the concept of global
warming true? Since the original data was discarded (maybe destroyed) and could not
be peer reviewed and judged
by colleges, maybe so or maybe not. Many times data that
does not fit in is discarded.
This one is hard to know and
it is an important one since the
President of the United States
and other world leaders want
to restructure world energy
and economy, based on what
might be invalid conclusions
from faulty data.
Good science is based on
the idea that if you repeat an
experiment, without changing
anything, you will get the same
results. It allows you to predict
the future based on a theory
developed from the past. How
good the prediction is, is based
on how good the theory was
to begin with. A few years ago
the winter temperatures were
very, very cold; and the authors
of global warming revised the
theory to accommodate a cold
winter. This is not predicting;
this is accommodating.
So, do I believe that global
warming is true? Maybe...but
maybe not. It’s hard to know
when the science was not handled cleanly and truthfully;
and the whole global warming issue was made a political
issue. Political issues have
emotion but not necessarily
truth behind them.
Truth and politics don’t mix
well. The truth of Benghazi
and the lack of protective action or the giving of weapons
to the Mexican drug cartel for
the (stupid) reason of seeing
how far up the drug chain
the weapons would go led to
American deaths (and government denial of responsibility).
When we are led by those
who do not honor truth, we
are left to find our own way.
Hopefully, the leaders of the
future will honor truth above
political gain. Hopefully the
science of global warming
can be examined and judged
without the political emotions
driving to a false conclusion.
Hopefully...
Nobody seems to have the
same opinion on what is
the correct, well thought out
answer on what servers should
get as a tip. The Wall Street
Journal supplies some facts
garnered from polls taken from
past diners.
The most important one is
that 65% were against tipping
and 36% said no change is
needed. The majority seem
to think management should
absorb the cost of server’s pay
and if need be, hike the cost
of the meal but eliminate tipping. Restaurants vary in this
respect, with some including
the tip in their final bill while
others only suggest what the
tip should be with a chart
of averages starting at 10%.
Some diners think that the tax
on meals should not be used
when figuring out what to tip.
Is liquor taxed the same?
Now, lets examine what a
waitress does to deserve a tip.
She explains what the specials
of the day are. She takes your
order, ladies first naturally.
She always asks what drink,
if any, you would prefer and
she sometimes brings bread
rolls to your table with the
butter or oil, if a fancy place.
She asks how you like your
meat cooked, she writes down
your specific objections like
no salt, easy on the sauce, or
your substitution of assorted
vegetables instead of a potato.
Okay then, when the meal
is ready, many times other
servers bring it to your table,
not your waitress like at the
Cheesecake Factory chain of
restaurants. A good waiter or
waitress will ask you to cut
your steak in half to see if it
is cooked to your satisfaction.
They always seem to come
back to your table to ask, “Is
everything alright?” while
you have a mouthful of food
and can’t answer.
So now let’s get to the
nitty-gritty of what you think,
but first let me give you
some statistics. According to
the Wall Street Journal, for a
full serve restaurant, 16% of
diners tip 10% or less, 26% tip
11-15%, 44% tip 16-20% and
13% tip 21% and up.
Management can pay their
waitresses as low as $2.13/
hour; they rely on their tips
to augment their salary. And,
with a hopping, popular place
with waiting lines to get in, a
waitress can earn as much as
$200 a night in tips. And yes,
pressured by management,
they would like you to eat and
be gone and not sit around
chatting. You can get the hint
when the busboys take your
plate when you have finished
the last mouthful.
If you want to eliminate
tipping, try cafeteria buffet
dining where you order at the
counter, get a red gizmo to
tell you your order is ready
and you have tables to eat on,
as well. Ever notice the glass
jar on the counter when you
pick up your order, with the
sign ‘tips are appreciated’
with crumpled dollar bills
inside? Burger chains are a
good example of what was
described above.
I especially love to dine
out with an accountant so
that when one bill covering
the whole table is laid down,
it’s automatically slides to
where he is sitting. Listen, if
he is an accountant, this is
kid’s stuff isn’t it?
Most people pay the same
recommended tip whether
the service was good or bad.
In Japan and New Zealand,
tipping is banned as well
as other countries. Chinese
buffets, ice cream parlors and
delicatessen places are usually
tip free also.
So my friends, it’s your
choice. Treat your wife or girlfriend to a gourmet restaurant
and go home hungry and a
little lighter in your wallet or
go to your favorite place like
the Cheesecake Factory, my
favorite, and get good service,
generous servings and a fair
price to boot. It’s you the customer that determines if you
will return to that place or try
another, if dissatisfied with
the former one.
Bon appetit my friends!

All is Not Gold That Glitters
By SY BLUM, Associate Editor
Y
es, probably none of
my readers remember
but I did use this headline before, several years ago. Much
as I try to avoid duplication,
this fits perfectly with what
follows. Also, there is one
caveat; if you are not a sports
fan what follows may not be
of interest (and that may also
apply even if you are!)
This writer has been a
sports nut all his life. I have
read innumerable sports
stories over these many years
(and written some.) However, I do not recall ever reading
about what constitutes a major part of professional sports.
To wit, how do all these teams
get around? More specifically, what is involved in traveling from one city to another
every few days for up to more
than six months as in the case
of major league baseball?
The information that
follows is based partly on a
report written back in 2008,
but I do not believe much
has changed in the interim.
Let us begin this column by
concentrating on what is
looked upon (arguably) as the
most popular spectator sport
in America. That would be
major league baseball. Also
in the mix are professional
football, hockey, basketball
and ever-growing soccer. To
emphasize how important
a part the subject of major
league travel is, I have made
a non-scientific study of how
many trips are made in the
course of a major league
baseball season; I have come
up with a figure that exceeds
800! To break this figure
down a bit, the Seattle Mariners baseball team traveled
55,000 miles during one recent
season. And this is just one
sport!
There is still hockey, which
plays 82 games a year; basketball, 82 games and football
which plays 16 games a season. True, we must consider
that each team plays half of
its schedule at home and half
away which means they only
travel for half their actual
schedule. (In addition to these
figures, considerable additional travel occurs during the
pre-season training schedule.)
You do the math; it is a lot of
traveling!
Please bear in mind that
each one of the foregoing
figures indicates arrival at an
airport, transit to a five-star
hotel with all the amenities
that go with that. (But, of
course, you must set up your
room, etc.) Frequently teams
arrive at their destination in
the wee hours of the morning.
They somehow get several
hours sleep and then leave
for the ballpark if it is a day
game or catch a movie or
whatever if it is a night game,
which most of them are. Then,
of course, the whole routine,
in reverse, takes place on
getaway day when the team
departs to the next city on the
schedule. At the airport, even
though the team now must
go through regular screening, they have a luxurious
airliner awaiting them and
them alone. All major league
teams use charter flights and
of course, they have the run
of the plane, epicurean meals
and all the rest.
(Actually, major league
baseball players are fortunate in that most times they
spend parts of three days in
the same location. It must be
mentioned here that hockey,
basketball and, to a lesser
extent, football spend only
one night in a particular city
and probably never unpack
completely.)
The reader should also be
aware that there are hun-
dreds of minor league sports
teams that go through the
same routine but at a much,
much lower comfort level.
They tend to use buses, cheap
motels, cheap meals and get
paid a very low salary. Players tolerate these conditions
while pursuing their ultimate
aim to someday get to the major league of their specialty.
And, all things considered, it
is worth the gamble!
Consider that most major
league baseball players are
paid very handsomely, i.e., $1
million a season for an average major leaguer; and then
it goes up from there. When
we get to the star category,
we are talking upwards of $20
million! Other sports, especially professional football,
pay almost as well. However,
like most things in life there
is a downside. In baseball especially, with media coverage
increasing each year, we are
reaching a point where most
sports fans know your name
and what you look like. Consequently, it is always open
season when you are out in
public. If you are recognized,
you are very frequently asked
for your signature or to pose
for a photograph. No, it is not
fair; you should be allowed
your privacy, but it just comes
as part of the package called
fame.
I am leaving for last what
could be considered as
the biggest obstacle for an
established major league
player. It comes down to
one word – Family. Consider
that virtually all professional
athletes are in their 20s or
30s, and it is normal for them
to seek out a life partner and
start a family. Unfortunately,
you cannot be in two places
at the same time. Nevertheless, most of these otherwise
fortunate individuals endure
long stretches of time where
they are away from home and
thus deprived of being part of
a normal family life, watching
their children grow up and all
the rest – further proof that
money is not everything!
The following information
just came to light as I was
closing out this column. The
Miami Heat basketball team
is presently in the midst of
playing 12 games in 12 different cities in a comparatively
short span of time. And only
one game will be played at
home and probably several
are back-to-backs, meaning
they will play in two different
cities on consecutive days. To
illustrate this point further, I
happened upon a story of a
famous professional football
player who, at the top of his
career, decided to retire. As
the story goes, Ray Lewis, a
star player for the Baltimore
Ravens, while attending the
high school graduation of his
eldest son, realized he really
did not know the boy since
he was away so much. Then
and there, he decided that he
would retire so he could be
part of the lives of his other
children. However, it must
be said his decision was also
based on the fact that he had
serious medical problems.
But that fact only solidified
his decision.
And that, dear reader, is
why I chose the headline
herewith.

occur exactly once in each row,

diagonals are not considered. Your
initial game board will consist of
several numbers that are already
placed. Those numbers cannot be
changed. Your goal is to fill in the
empty squares following the simple rule above.
Sudoku doesn’t require any special math skills or
calculations. It is a simple and fun game of logic -- all
that’s needed is brains and concentration.

n the evening of February 10, 2016, in the
Clubhouse GPA Room, Eli
Cohen graduated from CVE’s
January Stand-Up Comedy
Workshop class. What a wonderful show opener Eli turned
out to be! This was his very
first comedy set performed
before a live audience, and
he nailed it! Of course, his
excellent writing skills are well
known to readers of the Reporter as is his keen sense of humor.
Congratulations, Eli, on a job
well done! You deserve your
Certificate of Completion, and
we’re looking forward to seeing
you entertain us at future CVE
comedy shows.
Also performing in this
well-attended show were
former Stand-Up Comedy
Workshop Class graduates, Madeline Silver and
Manny Young (aka Manny
Why?) Both performed in
the 2015 and 2016 CVE Has
Talent Show as well as previous Stand-Up Comedy
Workshop Class Graduation
Shows. Both Madeline and
Manny have many comedy
fans within and outside of
CVE. I smile whenever I just
think of their faces.
Madeline is from New
York City and still visits there
each summer. She says she
knows about 80+ jokes and
tries to share different ones
at each show in which she
appears. Her acting skills are
obvious as she describes hu-
(l-r) Madeline Silver, Mary Anne Surrette, Eli Cohen and MannyWhy?
morous situations with style
and gusto. She is a funny,
funny lady! Don’t miss her
next CVE appearance.
Manny Why is a hilarious
retired pharmacist from Montreal who served his community for many years and
grew to know his customers
quite well. And boy, can he
describe them and their foibles! Manny is exceptionally
dedicated to progressing in
the art of stand-up, has even
performed in Mexico while on
vacation there and has started
writing some of his own material. Watch for Manny on
HBO Comedy one day.
It is an honor for me to
teach the Stand-Up Comedy
classes at CVE for these past
few years and hopefully,
for many years to come. I enjoy coaching comedy as well
as acting as Emcee for our
CVE Comedy Shows. I teach
the traditional very short
setup/punchline format for
joke telling, but also encourage students to entertain their
audiences in a manner consistent with their own individual
strengths and preferences.
Most comedy sets of our graduates are a combination of formats, and our material is rated
G/R. Of course, we specialize
in performing for seniors.
Stand-Up classes are small
(usually two to four students) to allow for individual
practice and coaching. Only
students willing to perform
before a live CVE audience
on Week Six of the class are
awarded the Certificate of
Completion and are invited
to participate in our ongoing
comedy shows.

According to Chris Matthews, after the assassination
of President John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, his widow Jacqueline only wanted two monuments to her husband. “First,
there would be an eternal
flame to mark his grave at
Arlington National Cemetery.
She told biographer Theodore
White about how, driving
across Memorial Bridge to
Virginia at night, you can see
the Lee Mansion lit up on the
side of the hill from ‘miles
and miles away.’ When Caroline was little, she said that
immense white building had
been one of the first things
she recognized. Now, below
it, there would be the small
twinkling light for her father.”
“The other commemoration she requested was quite
different. She’d clearly given
it careful thought. NASA’s
Apollo 5 mission was set for
takeoff in January 1964. The
president had mentioned it
in recent speeches. She asked
that her husband’s initials be
placed on a tiny corner of the
great Saturn rocket where no
one would even see them.”
These tiny bits of Kennedy trivia are among just
hundreds that acerbic MSNBC-TV host, Chris Matthews,
has pulled together into this
utterly readable, fascinating
biography of President Kennedy, the nation’s 35th leader,
whose own wife called, “that
elusive, unforgettable man.”
Matthews includes it all
– the genesis of Kennedy’s
Peace Corps idea, the origin
of his, “Ask what you can do
for your country” call and
the unsettling aspects of his
personal life as well. The
author concludes, “I found a
For decades, the Hamptons
have been the premier Long
Island seaside resort for Manhattan’s rich and famous. In
early years, it began attracting industrial tycoons like
Brooklyn Bridge designer,
John Roebling, and retailer
Sam Wanamaker. The number of modern day residents
reads like a New York and
Hollywood A-list register of
celebrities and billionaires.
Unless you have access to
a private helicopter, the trek
to get there each summer
weekend along traffic-choked
Montauk Highway is extraordinarily time-consuming and
difficult. Yet, the fabled ocean
play land continues to attract
the wealthy, the famous and
the wannabes.
What may not be that well
known is that, for years, much
of it was off limits to certain
groups, African-Americans,
most notably, but also Jews.
The best country clubs were
notoriously segregated. The
services of some of the best
real estate agents were available only to certain prospective buyers.
And it is a place where
residents compete to have the
largest, the most expensive,
most talked about house.
Take Barry and Renee Trupin
who bought the former Cartier mansion at Ninety-Sixth
Street near Fifth Avenue and
a 150-foot yacht with its own
Chagall painting that Barry
kept safe from salt water behind a wood carved cabinet.
Renee was noted for tooling
around Southampton village
in a Rolls-Royce with the
license plate TRUP.
Much to the dismay of
Southampton’s village elders,
It seems all great artists live
lives of excruciating pain, a
few exhilarating moments and
many tempestuous personal
upheavals. That is one reason
this new memoir by celebrated British playwright, David
Hare, is so irresistible. Another reason is that it is so strikingly and beautifully written.
Author of more than 30
plays that have appeared on
Broadway and the West End,
he wrote the screenplays for
the hugely successful films:
The Hours, Plenty and The
Reader. His debut memoir
covers his life from childhood
in rapidly-changing, postwar
England through his initial
professional successes in both
Britain and America.
He writes about show
business giants he met along
the way in London, New
York and Hollywood. Of a
lunch with Alfred Hitchcock:
“Recent film portrayals have
made him out to be creepy
but in person, he was the very
opposite. He said likability
was a quality which could
not be faked. The public had
taken Grace Kelly to their
hearts because she was indeed
likable; they had rejected
Tippi Hedren because she
was not. There was only one
actor in the world who was so
skilled he could fake on screen
a charm he didn’t have in real
life – Cary Grant.”
And about actress Dame
Helen Mirren: “She had the
technique of not listening to
her film directors. She would
say, ‘Come to my dressing
Author Alafair Burke has
written ten previous novels,
including the thrillers Long
Gone and If You Were Here.
She is also coauthor of a
series of mysteries with Mary
Higgins Clark. In addition,
a former prosecutor, she is
now a Manhattan professor of
criminal law and an ex-wife,
all of which provide both the
experience and the grit for her
latest tome, The Ex.
Acclaimed writer, Jack
Harris, is known primarily
for the violent public tragedy
which killed his wife and left
him a single father. Three
years later, while out on a
run, he glimpses a beautiful
woman in last night’s party
dress drinking champagne
and reading a book. He
meets her for a picnic near
the waterfront. It’s a decision
that threatens to change his
life forever.
Two decades ago, Olivia
Randall didn’t just break the
heart of Jack, her husband-tobe, she sent him into a tailspin
the results of which were
catastrophic. Now a feared
and formidable New York
City defense attorney, she
gets a jolt when Jack emerges from the past as the
prime suspect in a horrible
triple homicide – and that
one of the victims was connected to his wife’s murder.
Certain of his innocence,
Olivia feels obligated to represent Jack. But who is trying
to frame him, and why? In
searching for the answer, Olivia discovers that she never
knew the real Jack (the man
she planned to marry) at all.
Filled with deceptions, calculated lies and hard truths,
this twisty spellbinder will
keep fans of the genre guessing until the final page.

Crossing the River
A farmer was traveling with his pet fox,
favorite rooster and a large bowl of grain.
The farmer came to a river he had to cross.
He found a small boat but the boat was so
flimsy that it could hold only himself and
only one of the three things he was traveling
with. Furthermore, he had an additional
problem. If he left the fox with the rooster,
the fox would eat the rooster. If he left the
rooster with the grain, the rooster would eat
the grain. Standing on the West bank of the
river, he contemplated what he should do.
Finally, it occurred to him how to continue
his journey with the fox, rooster and bowl of
grain without having the fox eat the rooster
or the rooster eat the grain.
How did he do it, and how many times did
the farmer have to cross the river to accomplish this?

CVE Orchestra Guild

A
pril? Where did the
months go? Snowbirds are packing their cars
for the northward trek;
Theaters are advertising their
offerings for the 2016-2017
Season; and the members of
the Board of the Guild are
making great plans for our
forthcoming year.
In retrospect, we can claim
a very successful year for the
Guild. This year’s offerings
of cultural events were as diversified as those of previous
years, and we will continue
to follow this pattern. So,
we attended a production of
the Opera Carmen and were
pleased with the interpretation by the Palm Beach Opera Company. Our mystery
trip to the Wiener Museum,
the Gallery of Amazing
Things, revealed a treasure
of thousands of finely-crafted vases, sculptures and
figurines. The performance
of the Sugar Pops Symphonic Orchestra with guest
artists, Lucille Graveline and
Tom Stallone was attended
with much enthusiasm by
the audience. Our Annual
Fashion Show by Sondro’s
Boutique was a success as
usual but more so, the fashions by Sondro’s Boutique
were youthful and charming; the food was served
in style; the musicians
from our orchestra played
background music; and the
prizes won by the participants included stained glass
pieces created and donated
by members of the Stained
Glass Club. The bus tour
of Palm Beach included a
survey of a 1916 courthouse
converted into a museum.
This was followed by lunch
at the Chesterfield Hotel.
The meal was an example of
fine dining – the menu and
the service were elegant!
On March 1, Dr. Clark
McAlister, music director
and conductor, presented
us with a performance of an
overture from Rossini’s Barber of Seville. Anton Miller,
celebrated violinist, performed the beautiful Bruch
Violin Concerto. As an added
treat, we tapped our feet to
the symphonic jazz arrangements of works by Antonio
Carlo Jobim, one of Brazil’s
great musical legacies.
On March 9, we attended
a performance of Curtains,
a murder mystery musical
at the Wick Theater in Boca
Raton. This was an entertaining who done it; and after
much research and thought,
the mystery was finally
solved.
We wish to thank all the
participants who joined us
this year. As a result of your
attendance at our endeavors
and your membership in the
Orchestra Guild, we have
raised funds to help support
the CVE Symphony Orchestra and the Sugar Pops
Symphonic Orchestra.
The Planning Committee
is concentrating on cultural
offerings of ballets, opera
and theater for the 20162017 Season. Our mailing
of scheduled events will go
out to members in October
2016. To reserve a place
in any of these events, we
advise you to make an early
registration. They do sell
out rapidly. Dues are $10
for single membership and
$12 for family membership.

That Time of Day
The Road
When the moon follows the hiding sun
And the wind takes a vacation
When the quietness instills the earth
And nature displays its vocation
Then it’s that time of day.
It began with paths, trails and finally roads
that had to traverse through mountains and river fjords
The roads were built from those narrow and windy paths
decades ago, but their hard labor and results still last
Today, you can drive in almost any direction
And, if lost, just turn on your GPS for an easy solution
Whether it be a two line road with a dividing yellow line
Or a four-lane highway, just keep focused and you’ll be fine
How lucky we are that our late beloved President Eisenhower
passed a radical and needed road improvement bill with no override
Now, almost any tiny hamlet or huge metropolis has overhead signs,
directing you in the right direction, so you can’t miss
We now have HOV lanes for three passengers or less
This eliminates some traffic, but during rush hour, it’s still a mess
Away from the city, the exits seem much further
If a U-turn is needed, believe me, the distance seems much longer
Across the flat lands of Middle USA
You see lots of cows and plenty of hay
Going westward, the population seems to shrink in size
Except when you see a needy gas station, then you can give the
old Hi Five
Of course, we have glorious and colorful canyons that our
Forefathers protected with their rifles and guns
Ah yes, the scenery is magnificent and truly majestic
The view, the sky, the trees, just take your pick
Rivers and lakes, especially, add to your awareness of nature
Its serene beauty and color add to its stature
While driving across vast farmlands you might see an endless
horizon
Or, if lucky, a fleeting rainbow or a setting sun
The beauty of travelling the highways and back roads
is there for you to enjoy
So hit the road folks, it’s still your hidden unused toy!
When the galaxy explodes
And the stars glide into position
When the body clock turns down its pace
And love becomes its mantle
Then it’s that time of day.

Happy Birthday to Me!
Every birthday is a gift to celebrate; a treasure that I hold within my heart.
I’m so grateful for the years that God has granted me from the very start.
The numbers matter not; I have a positive attitude.
I thank God for my life every day with loving gratitude.
To remain young in heart is my intention.
Casting inhibitions to the winds, I strive to defy convention.
So, on April 22 I’ll be 91 with many more years to plan ahead.
I still have much to learn and achieve; don’t give up on me until I’m dead.

Piece Work
This frightened lady, has been sewing for 14 straight hours
At her Singer Sewing Machine creating coat linings
Knowing the Karachi factory fire consumed 289 lives
She mechanically toiled in a sweat shop factory, for work paid per task
Phlegmatic…a sublime moment in her tortured life
Expunging the Id out of her Id by garish and vengeful realities
A well- appointed abyss cannonballing alongside her pain
There is something predatory about both the undisclosed exploitation
And the life of pain always in specious conflict with capitalism
In the raw, surrounded by décor with stifling proximity to workers
Piece work…Each coat lining is output work that avoids piece work
Joyless, harassed, haggard living from paycheck to paycheck
Each garment lining sticker represents 25 cents for her…piece work!
Production/consumption, production/consumption an endless cycle
The coats that we are wearing could have come from her sweatshop
The hands that made them were calloused, worn out and chafed
For the last four hours, she could not go to the bathroom
She must wait 17 minutes before lunch break… a narrow culvert of time
She can sew a coat lining for the Pope in Rome without animus
If she had the plush cloth, she was that good, brilliant at her craft
But victimized by extreme exploitation, by the bosses tremors of bile
Long working hours, unlivable wages, petty workers, uncouth bosses
In a third world country, or here, extremely exploited where life is…
Short, brutish and nasty where the authenticity of the suffering
Worker… whose ills must command both sympathy and empathy
Where absence of safe living conditions, health and safety hazards
Her consorts are fear and intimidation when she tries to articulate a grievance
Tolerating her grievances …while experiencing the squid ink fingers of the man
Arbitrary discipline such as verbal, psychological or physical abuse is always there
Both subliminal and psychological rebukes works well in tandem
In a shadowy non -union dank factory room sweat permeated
Grimy hands and mussed up hair kublik style searching for exit interviews
Laced with cheap rinse, sweat or perfume… with nicotine engrained notions
Her introspective thoughts, intertwined like a Rubik’s cube genial characteristics
Revealing covert humanism doused in materialistic toxicity…radical tyranny
Her ideas were like dreams, always snaring a little dream in a picaresque struggle
Existing for self-fashioning, experiment and easement with frequent riffs
She remained in shallow slumber always reaching for big dreams
Allowing her the freedom to fail for the ones who could not get away
She dreamt deep, wondrous dreams that were powerful and clear
Engaged in a Somewhere Over The Rainbow reality
Set apart for fantasy and self-projection either stretched or discounted
A shock tactic that escalated, pure, abstract and very beautiful…
She eventually dropped the pieces and found peace.

Alive, Alive
In the stillness of a new day
As nature springs forth its warmth
And multi-shaded green competes with nature’s rainbow of colors
And as the wind caresses and the rains kiss the leaves
Nature is alive, alive
If you hear the birds singing
The golf carts rolling
The walkers strutting
The bowling balls rolling
The swimmers swimming
Oh! It’s just so wonderful to be alive, alive
The day is a divine opportunity
To live in harmony with all
To let challenges empower the soul
To rediscover life’s meaning
Then you know you are alive, alive
As the sun begins to spread its splendor
And the moon eavesdrops on us mortals
And asks “Have you lived today?”
And if you answer, “Yes, I have lived”
Then you are alive, alive.

It’s summertime
The days are sublime
The breezes blow so softly
The sun shines ever soft and bright
and all is postcard perfect!
If Only....!
~ MARIA L. DRAKE
If only we had peace on earth and lived in harmony, we would enjoy a new rebirth; an end to hate and bigotry.
If only heads of nations despised control and tyranny; and CEOs of corporations chose altruism and integrity.
If only every heart embraced love and prayer in place of fear, animosity would be erased; revenge and wars would disappear.
Then God would be relieved to see an end to violence and evil; that what He has conceived is saved from chaos and upheaval.

Familial Bliss
Family gathered around bountiful table;
Cheerful voices reflecting love and joy.
Shimmering gowns and glittering eyes;
True interest shown in other’s lives.
Trying to make up for time elapsed,
From one pleasant meet to another.
Unlimited expressions of heartfelt warmth,
Full of good will toward each other.
Three generations of creative endeavor,
Exemplifying the height of civilized attainment.
Well based in respect, empathy and marvel –
At the joy of life in all its splendor.
Expressions of heartfelt best wishes,
Wrapped in hugs; sealed with a kiss.
Promises of frequent reconvening,
In cherished circle of familial bliss.

An Amalgam: Wakadahachee
Blue
An amalgam of light and sound and flora and fauna
Wakadahachee wetlands lives forever, restoring order with imagination
Nature reserves serve as the record of our time embracing intimate conversations
In Seminole, the iconic meaning denotes created waters
A way to discover the truth of all God’s rivers of seductive beauty
Color, touch, taste, smell, sound, all nature tools of survival
The beauty of the time lapse flowers immerses us
In a magnetic world of thought and learning… always introspective
There is a never ending supply of trust and the serenity
We are part of nature and not separate from it…feeling its vibrations
Watching the dancing formations of clouds…changing…changing
Cultivating appreciation and gratitude of just being there
Within the kaleidoscope of the wetlands smorgasbord of sights and sounds
With cosmic significance within tikkun Olam … always repairing the world
Resurrecting the tradition from obscurity to enlightenment
Connecting us in one gateway of an inner voice to be heard
Time is sequential and simultaneous…Wakadahachee is the best metaphor
To combat evil, suffering and all things difficult…while
Watching the birds feed their young, thrusting open a window
On the nobility of nature’s world and its essence defining love
A glorious constellation of birds, turtles, alligators, iguanas and fish
As the sun colors the ecosystem so does the sun color this land
A land of grace one sees with one’s heart, a universal tapestry
Of hope, vision, togetherness, grace, peace and unity
The universal environment that celebrates our humanity
Circumspection is more prudent to interconnectedness
With faith and laughter in our hearts, time and a sense of wonder
We are on a universal journey immersed in quiet landscapes
Connect to a universe that celebrates life not asphalt parking lots
And our challenge for nature lovers to do more and be better
To save the planet, and do it all with altruism and collective responsibility
Protecting and shielding all that we love in love with electrical
Natural impulses while thinking about our children and grandchildren
Crossing over the boundaries of life and environmental nuances
Every day is a gift of gratefulness, Wakadahachee is an amalgam of grace
Cultivate your response, to the array of colors, sights and sounds differing
From moment to moment flowing together like algorithms of truth
With your eyes, smile, touch the beautiful and mind expanding dreamscape
Within an environment that brings us closer to God
Standing in awe at the vertex of the earth
Let me feel the joy of a virgin blue sky
Enfolding the heavens
Before screeching silver bullets
And obstructing designing clouds
Dispel the spell.

Let me feel the warm glow of romance
Under dusky nocturnal skies
Bewitchingly studded with diamonds
For lovers only.

Encircling the earth with mysteries
Let me feel the essence of Picasso’s blues
The Old Jew
The Couple
Maternity
To feel, the depth of eyes so blue.
Blue is
The colour of my true love’s hair
Blue, blue
Everywhere
Blue blood
Blue coat
Blue moon
Blue ice.
Blue evokes aspirations of spirit
Of intellect
Of mystery
Of fidelity.
There are colours, colours,
Everywhere.

Dreams of yesterday forgotten, expunged, deleted, discarded
Love
Lost in dreams of human wholeness in trauma and resilience
They searched for stories about the people they knew
What is really the true meaning of love
Ordinary people living ordinary lives…battling to survive
Is it somehow inspired by someone above?
In small towns where life was factory jobs or the mines
When two people first meet eye-to-eye
They were trying to make ends meet…to make a living
Does emotion, excitement and sparks immediately fly?
Where indifference is the incubator of injustice
Or eventually, you realize that person’s background and
Where Roy Orbison sang Only the Lonely

Where people had big dreams and tons of heart

Fighting the existential fight, trying to battle the men in suits

Can everyday conversation between two mates be always important
A Springsteen concert is like a carnival ride
Because anything said can become sacrosanct
You experience the poetry, danger and darkness
The word love is used in almost every day talk
It leaves you breathless and alive, protective and paternalistic
On phone talk, business, shopping or a casual evening walk
Like the iconic Born in the USA or in The Streets of Philadelphia
But the true explanation of love is simple
or Born To Run where, “In the day we sweat it out on the streets
It’s trust, compatibility and being faithful
Of a runaway American Dream.” Is like searching for bootlegged tapes
As we age though, things can change, when the children leave
A Dylan concert gives you hope, it’s the voice of protest, of a reluctant prophet
Then we are faced with the true test, I believe
From an iconoclastic artist with combative tones resonating to be free
Can we as adults continue to care for each other?
Its lyrical compositions and extra ordinary poetic power, pure authenticity
Or become bored, quiet and everything needed, is
A sense of poetic freedom and innovation laced with deep intuition
just a bother
Allowing the descriptive lyrics to get to the point…to your soul
Your
children, life’s joys, and your close friends,
Yes, the times they are A-changin exposing flaws within ourselves
Should
mean something
A timeless strategy of on the ground reality of introspection and truth
So

you are in fact a helpful and productive human being
Both at the center of the universe…weaving plots of social justice
Look
at
your
partner today and say, “I love you.”
The Boss sometimes private and proper would get to giggling
It
touches
the
heart and reminds you, when you joyfully
With his infectious laugh that would resonate across the room
said,
“I
do.”
Laudable and teachable, thoughtful and compassionate…about
Where victimization didn’t matter and the rule of law must protect all people
~ ELI COHEN
Letting justice take control, there is no fat only ethical muscle
The clarity of his bridge lines, the magical characters,
And little Bobby Zimmerman crafted bigger hits
His wit was an essential component of how he witnessed the world
Like in Masters of Was he called out the loss of innocence
You that never done nothin’ …But build to destroy.
Reflections by the Water
Making us rethink the nature of justice and the rule of law
Pushing our psyches into the warping effects of racism
Tranquility unravels the day
As artists standing up to a continuous notion of evil
Swans embrace the morning dew with a kiss
Like in… Who Killed Davey Moore? Not I said the referee.
Palm branches enfold their mother trunk
Reminding us who we are and who we should be
Reflect-Upon an artist’s inspiration.
And asked bigger questions with songs to bear witness
To both the heroism and hardships of ordinary/everyday lives
“Come, sit with me my child,
Where lives become a courtroom, a laboratory, freewheelin’ for justice
The universe commands discovery.”
Where we learn how much truth we might tolerate today
Amphin, Goddess of water, transcends the glimmering ripples.
Dylan and Springsteen just don’t sing, they witness and testify
Plato, Socrates
With knowledge that permeates every syllable of injustice
Their wisdom lies beneath the rocks.
And untruth…in all of its benign beautiful singular purity
Reflect
They have long conversations with their audience
Doing some hard travelling within long journeys
Inverted shadows accompany the dusk
From indictments to pleas for empathy for all people
Shimmering lights transformed into infinity
Dylan noted “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”
Feelings of fear, loneliness abound.
A life long journey with their fans, as the embodiment of moral America
Reflect
Holding up a mirror to the people in a way that was uncomfortable
Holding up unique ideals of tolerance, compassion and a …
As the moon encircles us with love.
Global Civic Ethic, like Pete Seeger and the Weavers during McCarthy
Reflect
Like a divining pointing rod pointing to the then subterranean
Notions of change, to fight for justice in the face of injustice
Their works will be an intimate part of our lives
We were born to run. Within a palliative of social aggression
Their legacies abide in the generations to come
To turn our upside down society right side up
When you got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose.

The Complexities of Gender Identity
By DORIS WACHSLER
W
e all change as we go
through life. So do
the people in our family and
our friends. Sometimes the
changes are unremarkable,
almost imperceptible. We
notice these changes, or not,
and there’s very little effect
on us individually or on our
friendship circle.
When someone we know
changes radically it’s very
different. Although it’s that
person who is evolving into
someone else, we, in the
periphery, have to make an
adjustment too. In our perceptions, our reactions—we
might be changing our own
behavior.
In the years at our small
temple we knew a couple,
Felicia* and David, who were
involved in many of the social
and organizational activities.
Their daughter, an only child,
was also active at temple
until she went to college and
afterwards moved to work in
another city.
We knew them casually.
Both of them seemed simpatico and easy to talk with. Several years ago some of us from
the temple formed a Havurah
that met monthly. We, Felicia,
and David were among them.
Because Manny and I have
been snowbirds during all the
years that the Havurah has
existed, we’ve missed many
meetings but still feel quite
connected. We’re on the email
list for meeting notices. Very
little else is communicated in
these emails.
This spring I noticed that
there was someone on LinkedIn whose name I didn’t
recognize. I was puzzled but
didn’t think about it much.
Then, when we were back
up North and met with our
group for the first time, Felicia
was there by herself. I sat
next to her and she conversationally asked me if I knew
about David; when I said I
didn’t know what she meant,
she told me to ask Mary on
the way home. I did that, but
Mary had no idea what Felicia
was talking about. Mary
isn’t always up to date about
what’s going on.
Later I discretely asked
someone else in the group if
David was sick. She said no,
that David was now “Donna.” I was stunned, but made
some noncommittal remark. I
asked how Felicia was taking
it. “She’s coping,” my friend
said. Then it occurred to me
who the unknown person on
LinkedIn was. It was David,
naming himself “Donna” and
wearing a long haired wig.
I saw some of Donna’s postings online. She said
she had a very supportive
workplace and her colleagues
had taken her new appearance in stride very pleasantly.
The congregants at temple
were also accepting and supportive.
At our next Havurah meeting I saw Donna in person.
She was wearing dark red nail
polish, slacks and a nondescript top, and of course the
wig. She seemed to move
around easily in the group,
as we shared the buffet lunch
and caught up with each
other. She had arrived with
Felicia but didn’t sit near her
during the afternoon.
Donna and I greeted each
other, she sat next to Mary
and me, and we started to
chat. She said she was learning to talk as women do, with
the inflections they have in
their speech; it was important
to learn things like that. Donna really carried most of the
conversation, talking about
the things she was adapting to
socially. I asked how she and
Felicia were working things
out, and she answered that
each of them was separately
in therapy.
At a subsequent meeting,
Donna again chose to sit
next to Mary and me. She
was quite excited to be living
in her own apartment in a
nearby town. Animatedly,
she discussed how she would
furnish it. She talked about
getting accustomed to living
alone, something she’d never
done before. The conversation
then shifted to our group discussion about the designated
Havurah topic, and nothing
of a personal nature came up
again that time.
When I saw Donna at the
October meeting she was anticipating transgender surgery
the next month. She had seen
HR personnel at the company
where she worked. Her medical insurance through the
company would pay for the
surgery, nursing care afterwards, and round trip travel
expenses to the Philadelphia
hospital that specializes in
this surgery. She would get
medical time off for almost
two months during her recuperation.
Donna said that enough of
these procedures had been
done that all the coverage
was now standard. She was
irritated about remarks that
a male employee at a social
event had made to her. He
asked her why the surgery
was necessary, and she told
him, in so many words, that
it was none of his business.
However, she explained to
me—without my asking—and
on her blog, that she wouldn’t
feel her transition was complete until she was physically
a woman. She was also afraid
that if she dated a male and
he found her out, she could
be in danger. Donna also said
it still pained her that her
daughter would have nothing
to do with her, that to her
wife’s family she had ceased
to exist. She missed the dayto-day togetherness with her
wife, but her general attitude
was that this wasn’t a strong
factor in her thinking.
It seemed to me that she
was obsessed by the sexual
changes she was making. She
wrote some poetry on her
blog about how free she was
feeling, now that she was becoming who she had always,
all her life, wanted to be. She
no longer had to worry about
hurting her father who had
died two years ago. It was
because of him that she had
been constrained earlier. After
his death she could finally act
on all her repressed thoughts
and fantasies.
Donna had the surgery,
both upper and lower. She
returned to her apartment
where her sister came to help
for a few days. Donna said
she had a brief panic attack
about the changes she’d made
to her body, but there was
no turning back. She was
alone over Thanksgiving. In
her blogs now, she said she’d
sobbed over losing her 38-year
relationship with Felicia. She
also wondered if she would
lose all her male friends; she
thought they were distancing themselves from her. She
wondered if they feared being
attracted to her. Or were they
worried she might think they
were hitting on her if they
were friendly?
After reading her blog, I
wrote her an email that she
needed to give people time.
She had said it took her a
few years to reach the point
where she was now—maybe
it would also take her friends
some time to get adjusted to her new self. (I said I
couldn’t speak as a man, so I
didn’t know what was going
through their minds.) Since
then, I think she has blocked
me from reading her blog
because I don’t seem to get it
anymore. Maybe she felt that I
was not being supportive.
A few days ago I met a
snowbird friend who is a
member of the Havurah. The
conversation turned to Donna
and Felicia. My friend, Anna,
who is rarely critical of anyone, seemed angry about the
situation. She said that Felicia
had been more than patient
with Donna throughout the
process for several years, until
the time that Donna insisted
on going for transgender
surgery. At that point Felicia
decided to get a divorce. Anna
said Felicia had made a contract with Donna years ago for
a normal marriage. It did not
include what had now come
to pass. Anna said she hoped
that Felicia would find a man
who really loved her; obviously Donna had not loved
Felicia to do this to her.
Anna and I agreed that
Donna should have reflected
beforehand more on what
she would lose by changing
her life. I thought Donna had
been so obsessed with her sexuality, in a rather selfish way,
that she lost sight of the other
factors that make life worth
living. However Donna also
seemed to be in great mental
distress about her feelings vs.
her body.
I’m not as close to Felicia as
Anna is, not close to Donna
either. I’ve just observed the
situation out of wonder and
curiosity. Although you read
about people becoming transgendered, you don’t see their
inside stories the way you do
if you know the people.
It makes me think about
another situation where I
know someone who’s been
affected, but in quite a different way. A woman who was
a schoolmate of my sons, and
who now holds a prestigious
position in her field, has a son,
John, who was uncomfortable
with his biological identity.
John was a child, not yet a
teenager. He had always preferred girl’s toys and clothing.
He was wearing his hair long.
His parents agreed that he
would become Jennifer, and
that he should be out as a girl
in all phases of his life.
Jennifer’s mother wrote to
the director of the summer
camp (he) had always attended. She discussed having
Jennifer in a girls’ bunk for
the coming summer. The
camp was cooperative and
sent letters to the parents of
children who would be in
that bunk. No one brought up
any objections. Arrangements
were made for Jennifer to use
the counselors’ bathroom for
showering, etc. For the next
summer, no special arrangements were made at all and
Jennifer fit right in.
What a difference when
the unhappy biologically
assigned person is still a child,
when the immediate family is
not the spouse but the parents, siblings, and relatives.
There can still be disgruntled
family members, of course. In
this case there was an older
brother who became unhappy
about the situation. Fortunately for Jennifer, her parents
were very strong advocates
for her, as were her grandparents. The situation was
resolved gradually in a very
careful way and no one was
hurt.
Now I am in Florida again
and won’t be at any Havurah
meetings until next summer.
By then almost everyone
in the group will have met.
Donna, Felicia and the others
will have adjusted to the dynamics of the group. Coming
back, maybe I’ll sense if they
have changed, and if so, how.
Is Donna accepted by the
women, shunned by the men?
Treated any differently than
before? I think right now most
of the women feel compassion
for Felicia, maybe pity for
Donna. I have no idea how
the guys feel. I would guess
kind of neutral. I think my
feelings are neutral too. It’s all
very complicated.
*All names have been changed
to respect everyone’s privacy.

French Alliance Variety Show Century Camera Club Participation in 2016 Art Expo

O
n Saturday night,
March 12, the
Académie des Snowbirds, in
cooperation with the choir,
Les Joyeux Migrateurs, offered
us a thrilling musical evening!
The audience was ready
for the show, packing the
room with over 450 residents.
They were not disappointed!
All musical categories were
heard – Oh, sorry! There was
no RAP – maybe next year.
We have not lost out as the
Joyeux Migrateurs charmed
us with their repertoire of
Quebec songs. The nod to the
Acadians has charmed more
than one. Country music fans
also found their counts.
Three talented accordionists, each with their own
style, raised public enthusiasm. The audience joined in
with singing and clapping.
The singer/musicians of the
Académie des Snowbirds
and the talented artists who
performed, impressed us
greatly by their talents and
their fantasies. Thank you for
sharing your love for songs
and music.
I would highlight the very
cozy setting scene and the
great relationship between the
choir and musicians. In short,
it was a successful evening!
Many thanks go to the
Board of the French Alliance
who funded the evening.

n March 5 and 6, 2016
the Century Camera Club participated in the
annual Art Expo in the Party
Room of the CVE Clubhouse.
Thirty-two photographers
participated with 126 photographs entered in the annual
competition. Allan Pierce,
professor at the Boca Raton
Museum of Art, adjudicated
the competition.
Mr. Richard Mansfield, a
long-time member of the Century Camera Club, won the
Best of Show Award. As an
accomplished photographer,
Richard has won this award
on one previous occasion.
Richard graduated from
Rutgers with a Bachelor’s of
Arts in Mathematics before
heading to California for
graduate school. He and his
wife Phyllis bought their first
camera, a used Contax in 1965
and have been taking photographs ever since. Along
the way Richard financed
his photography by teaching
mathematics at Penn State. He
is now retired, spending half
his time in Boothbay, Maine
and the other half in Deerfield
Beach.
The annual Art Expo is
the culmination of a season
of work by the members of
the Century Camera Club.
Participating in the Expo
requires members of the Club
to prepare and submit a number of photos for judging in
different categories and levels
by an outside, independent
professional photographer.
Prizes are awarded for the
best photographs.
The Club has been very
active this season with an
increase in membership of
about twenty percent. Members met every two weeks in
November and December and
every Tuesday from January
to April to discuss their photos, improve their skills and
share technical “know-how”
and information about photography. In order to make
Club meetings more interesting and relevant, the Club
recently acquired a laptop
computer as well as post-processing software. This,
combined with a large new
smart television, has enabled
the Club to access the wealth
of educational resources from
the Internet and to view members’ digital photographs on a
Richard Mansfield Recipient of
Best of Show Award.
high quality screen.
Members have also been
enthusiastic about the new
program of exhibiting members’ photographs on the wall
opposite the Club’s meeting room. John Rothkopf,
Vice-President, has ably organized three separate monthlong exhibits this season and
is planning a new exhibit for
next November. These monthly exhibits allow members
of the Club to exhibit many
more of their photographs
while also embellishing the
wall across from Room GP-F.
The Century Camera Club
welcomes new Century Village
residents to participate in its
activities. Meetings for the
2016-2017 season will resume
in early November 2016, on
Tuesdays. Please check with the
Staff Office for the exact date.
Another Spectacular Show by the Choraleers
Text by DIXIE-LEE VOLL; Photos by FRED DAVID SAFRAN

Marcela Rasa, donned costumes and held the audience
captive when they performed
Phantom of the Opera.
The Choraleers’ sweetheart
with the voice of an angel,
Lucile Graveline, thrilled us
with You Raise Me Up, Quando
Men Vo and Ciribiribin. Our
professional guest soprano,
Marcela Rasa, delighted the
audience with her lovely
voice when she sang Perhaps,
My Man and Goody Goody.
Professional musicians, Billy
Mac Cumber on piano, Linc
Lackey on bass and Rand
Bella on violin, performed
a Bacharach medley. Ted
Schneider on trumpet, together with Billy Mac Cumber
and Linc Lackey, performed
a medley of Mame and Hello
Dolly. Rand Bella delighted
the audience with an impromptu violin solo.

were Esther Drucker who performed Sadie Sadie; Judy Hill
presented The Way We Were;
Dixie-Lee Voll sang Evergreen;
George Ledoux performed a
duet with Corinne Jacobs in
Play a Simple Melody; Barbara and Stephen O’Connor
performed a duet, You’re Just
In Love and Barbara O’Connor
passionately sang Papa Can
You Hear Me? Andrea Garofalo closed the performance
with Nessun Dorma, bringing
the audience to their feet. The
program concluded with God
Bless America in which the
audience participated.
The Choraleers extend their
thanks to all our families,
friends and neighbors for
their support. We also want
to thank the Reporter and CVE
Staff Office employees for all
the assistance and cooperation shown to us.
