March Meeting

During the March Meeting of the Reporter, I asked for an update on the Financial Situation...in particular Accounts Receivable, whether there was any Past Due Accounts..The response I received was that in fact there was,uncollected funds..no further details were provided.

 Subsequently I e mailed Joy Vestal as Co Editor & VP, initially received no response. I then contacted the late Howard O'Brien, who passed my request along to Myron Silverman.. I followed up with e mail confirming our conversation ( Howard & I) shortly thereafter I heard from Joy, suggesting I make an appointment during business hours to discuss this matter...I responded I am not able to do so, and secondly no discussion is necessary..Provide me with the figures and the length of time these accounts are Past due...I still have not  received a response..

As you all may know, it is mandated in the UCO by laws, we have a Village News Paper, that we as owner's are financially responsible for and therefore have the right to question the financial status..

It has been the practice to have all ads accompanied by payment ( Cheque, Cash and for a short period of time credit card, which is no longer available) therefore eliminating any Past Due Accounts...

The only conclusion I can draw is that those currently in charge are incompetent.....

I strongly suggest my fellow owner's make the same request, whether it be via e mail or at the upcoming Reporter meeting...April 7th at 1 pm in the UCO Board room...

Thank you.

Phone call rejected

Kindly post the following to alert our Resident's...Thank you...

Earlier today, I received a phone call from 984-333-1396, claiming they represented "Medicare" They had my name, and wanted me to confirm my medical condition ( whether or not I had back pain etc.) I declined, however, the male on the other end insisted I could get a "brace for free" to which I responded "Nothing is Free" and did not appreciate his attempt to Scam the unsuspecting public...I did make contact with my Insurance care provider, and they knew nothing of the sort.

Of course, my curiosity got the better of me, and I called the above # only to find a recording, "Call Rejected" On another note, another telephone # appeared on my caller ID 561-121-9364, which stated it was an Invalid #...( didn't answer that one) ...We know there are countless other's out there, attempting to defraud us... Please bear this in mind....

The biggest Liar

DAVID ISRAEL HAS TO BE THE BIGGEST LIAR ON THIS EARTH AND THE FOOL LANNY HOWE STANDS BY HIM LIKE AN IDIOT PUPPET.

Read David’s lying blog:

David loves to twist words. It was never said AT&T was bidding on bulk. WE SAID AT&T WAS INSTALLING FIBER-OPTIC CABLE BECAUSE THEY INTEND TO OFFER IT TO INDIVIDUAL ASSOCIATIONS IN DEVELOPMENTS –in the future of course.

David continues on his BLOG-BLOG to say there was nothing hush-hush about it.

Well, I had to dig under a pile of garbage to find someone who knew about it. If it wasn’t hush-hush, why didn’t David mention it to the delegates?

Lanny Howe goes on to say we attack David. Of course we do. Do you want another Road Paving imbroglio?

More Misinformation

MORE MISINFORMATION FROM DAVID ISRAEL.

David Israel stated on his blog that AT&T was not offering bulk video to the village. If he read my posting correctly, he would have known I did not say that it WAS offering it to OUR Associations.   I said: AT&T is offering BULK services to individual associations – they have done this in other developments. I did NOT say they were offering it to OUR associations. I simply said they were offering it to Associations – they have done this in other developments.

 I also stated in my “Breaking News” posting that NorthSky  already installed Fiber-Optics in some buildings, which were told to us by the individuals doing the survey to correct the problems with the installation in some of the buildings.

What is so secret about this installation?  Does this have any connection to Atlantic Broadband? We have a right to know all the facts before we vote. We do not want another Roadway Paving fiasco. 

Fridays Vote

Our President, Dave Israel, is heading us into a quagmire. A quagmire that is going to to be hard to extricate ourselves from. He is unaccountably pushing for a multi-million dollar investment in communications for the entire village. I said multi-million dollar investment without a full and complete debate by the complete Village.

It is wrong for Israel to force his attitude on us without a  full and complete Village wide debate. This is too big a deal to do otherwise.

The question is why is he doing that?

But besides that, we must advise our Delegates to vote against this and follow the debate. Our Delegates should not be rushed into a this10-year contract.

BREAKING NEWS

We have an update on AT&T’s proposed fiber-optics installation in the village. It now appears that AT&T has already installed fiber-optics in some of the buildings. NorthSky Communications was having problems in the installation in some buildings – the survey was to solve some of the problems.

The installation was NOT news to UCO, yet was kept hush-hush. Why, was David Israel pushing Atlantic broadband stating they needed two years to install fiber-optics when he knew that AT&T was already doing it? Why was this kept secret?  Why is David in such a great hurry to sign a contract?

The residents deserve an answer to these and many more questions.

P.S. Read the comments about the Atlantic Broadband Contract – it smells of rotten fish.  

AN URGENT LETTER TO ALL OFFICERS, AND EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS OF UCO.

It has just come under our attention that NorthSky Communications has at this moment completed a survey for AT&T to install Fiber-Optic  Wiring to our village at NO COST TO US. We were also informed that AT&T will offer Bulk Service to individual associations; they have done this in other developments.

Regarding this new development, it is imperative that we do not rush into any contract with Atlantic Broadband. There are too many questions that need to be answered before we commit to a 10-year contract. I beg every Officer and executive board member of UCO to make a motion to postpone the cable vote until we have more information. If you do not do this, and we do not have a quorum, we will be chained to Atlantic Broadband for ten years.

YOU MUST REMEMBER; YOU ARE IN OFFICE TO REPRESENT THE RESIDENTS, NOT

SPECIAL INTERESTS.

Dear Mr. Tennyson,

The advisory committee in Century Village WPB is in the process of revising the UCO bylaws. At a meeting of the advisory committee, I submitted a number of suggestions for the advisory committee to consider. David Israel, president of UCO refused consideration of my suggestions stating according to the UCO bylaws, I needed a petition of 25 signatures for each suggestion. According to the UCO bylaws - copy enclosed - Mr. Israel was in error. I was not proposing any change in the bylaws, I was merely offering suggestions to the committee to consider.   Our Bylaws clearly state that any bylaw PROPOSAL must be given to the advisory committee with a petition. My SUGGESTIONS were not PROPOSALS to change the bylaws; they were only suggestions to the committee to consider. With this in mind, I would like you to inform Mr. Israel that he was in error and must allow the advisory committee to consider my suggestions.

Please send me a copy of the letter.

Sincerely,

 

Olga Wolkenstein, President

Northampton R Association

 

READ THIS BEFORE YOU VOTE FOR CABLE.

Something you must know before you vote for cable.

Comcast gives us “ON DEMAND” free.   ON DEMAND allows us to see free movies and missed programs.  

I asked David Israel, whether we will have ON DEMAND if we choose Atlantic Broadband, he said “YES” we will have it through TiVo - BIG PROBLEM. In order to get TiVo you must have Internet Service with  Atlantic Broadband which is an additional $20.00.  Therefore, if you choose Atlantic Broadband, you will have to pay  $20.00 extra to enjoy ON DEMAND.  Many of you do not have a computer and do not have a need for the Internet. So, why pay $20.00 for something you now get free with Comcast.

THINK HARD, BEFORE YOU VOTE THIS FRIDAY.
