Wi-Fi Committee Report

The UCO Wi-Fi committee has had a meeting. The report is out and as is expected it reflects D.Israel's slant on things and is full of misdirection, errors and misfacts.

First off the author states that 718 makes a Wi-Fi addition a common expense. . More of Israels misfacts.

 It is not anymore a common expense than is the Bus Service which had to be mandated by a Judge, or the use of the Pools, some of which are common and some of which are uncommon.

The price that Israel is using is, as is to be expected, overstated. The $1000 price to do the Wi-Fi in a 2 story building runs from $0 too $200, in a 3 story building about $500, in a 4 story building about $750. Of course Israel is only talking about unsecured hot spots. I am talking about secured Wi-Fi.

But look at this there are 309 Associations in the Village. The math is 309 X 1000=$309,000. They have bids at $1 Million and more. So the $309,000 doesn't touch the actual expense

The suggestion that the Delegates pass a resolution that will be binding on all the Associations is beyond ludicrous. The Delegates are only that, Delegates. They cannot talk for their parent Associations. They answer to their parent Associations.

Is this committee an arm of the Israel wannabes Village wide Wi-Fi faction? Is it a captured committee? Is it the job of the Wi-Fi committee to promote Wi-Fi or to investigate and report. Is the committee part of the future DISRAEL LIBRARY fund?

Is it the function of the Wi-Fi Committee to "Write articles and speak at Delegate Assembly meetings to promote". Is this Committee only for the implementation of Wi-Fi? Or are they to investigate the feasibility of a Campus Wide Wi-Fi. Some nerve on the part of the Israel-lights

They have suggested "a visit to Boca Village  had shown dissatisfaction with the implementation. A new visit is planned to see if it has improved." Whats wrong with a report on the dissatisfaction? After all they are going the route that Israel wants to go. Using the vendor the Israel wants,  and this Vendor has been labelled as  too small to do the job.

What we need here is some sunshine, and a some fairness in viewing the needs and costs of Wi-Fi and less selling of the idea. And less advertising of Disraels's ideas

Also it seems that the committee is now considering a Performance Bond to Guarantee a good job. That is a laugh. We have asked for these Bonds before, but the experienced and knowledgeable President never saw the need. So the outcome is the Road situation. The Wi-Fi Situation will go the same way without a performance bond. And with a performance bond probably will never be acted upon.

The Shooting

The Israel remarks are unbelievable. He is crowing about the increase in security in one post and then the shooting in K building is reported in another.

The commenter's, all feel that the shooting is not tied and should not be tied to Israel's security initiative.

The bottom line, per the UCO friends, is that if the bad guys get in then the problem is with the Associations.

I am missing something here. I think security is a Village wide concern. It starts at the gates and runs throughout Century Village, and the people responsible for it pretty much reside at UCO. So those nuts who claim that UCO is not responsible here are wrong.

What happened to security checks? What happened to Criminal Checks? What happens after Security turns up Criminality in  the report?

I know the Association's Board of Directors has the last word. Is this right? Is it fair or Just? The Board members are just Volunteers and have no prior experience in this, but they are the last word. Remember this decision affects all of us. All of us that are not in this particular Association. Maybe a change is needed in UCO's by laws. The sooner the better.

Our Famous Cover Girls!

Who can this be?

Here is a anonymous comment. Who is he talking about?

You want something to get on UCO about?  How about the fact that no resident is suppose to be paid.  Only volunteers.  There is one resident that is getting a large salary for their job at UCO even though they are abrasive with people and not doing the job in its entirety.  Many mistakes are found constantly.  Yet the person is still being paid and actually got a raise in the budget.  

I have heard from some of the funny men on this. They think it is funny and a non-starter as far as a cause is concerned.

Is it?

Another Joke

Justice, there is JUSTICE.   There has to be or humanity will be tarnished.  And, when I think of Justice, I think of Century Village. Will there be justice for those who have committed immoral and criminal acts?  Think of Paving.

I’m going to lighten up a bit and tell you something comical about “Justice” that I heard recently.

JUSTICE

Ah, Justice . . .

A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sum of money was talking to his lawyer.  “If I lose this case, I’ll be ruined.”

“It’s in the judge’s hands now,” said the lawyer.

“Would it help if I sent the judge a box of cigars?”

“Oh no!  This judge is a stickler for ethical behavior.  A stunt like that would prejudice him against you.  He might even hold you in contempt of court.  In fact, you shouldn’t even smile at the judge.”

Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision in favor of the defendant.  As the defendant left the courthouse, he said to his lawyer, “Thanks for the tip about the cigars.  It worked!”

            “I’m sure we would have lost the case if you’d sent them,” responded the lawyer.

“But, I did send them.”

“What?  You did?” said the lawyer, incredulously.

“Yes.  That’s how we won the case.”

“I don’t understand,” said the lawyer.

            “It’s easy.  I sent the cigars to the judge, but enclosed the plaintiff’s business card.”

You don't have to be Catholic to appreciate this one!!

  A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store
  The store clerk called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor.

  The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had
  emergency open heart bypass surgery .

  He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the
  Catholic Hospital . A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard
  loaded with several forms, and a pen. She asked him how he was going to
  pay for his treatment.

  "Do you have health insurance?" she asked.

   He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."

  The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"

  He replied, "No money in the bank."

  Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the
  irritated nun.

  He said, "I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun."

  The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters!
  Nuns are married to God."

  The patient replied, "Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law." ,

Tasked Revisited

Not So Hot News Flash

 Anitra Krause has been tasked. You asked by who? I will tell you, by the Great Wizard hiding behind the curtains. The great Tapper..

She has been tasked to publish the Florida Condo Laws. I don't think Rick Scott could do a credible job of explaining them, but just quoting the laws.... But the Wizard of OZ must think Anitra's publishing the Condo Laws will cause a uprising of conversations on the good and bad of these laws. 

Next the Good Patron will have Anitra, print the Declaration of Independence and then maybe the Constitution of the U.S. None of this can hurt. But what is the Great Patriot up to? Does he expect us to fall in line , sing the Star Spanngled Banner and March away? 

The real question is what does the Wizard want to accomplish by the printing of these 2 Condo Laws. Will he gather some more acolytes? Will he get the residents to see things the way he sees them? Thru rose colored glasses?

The problem with Century Village is not the Condo Laws, but the way they are obstructed and obfuscated. The way they are turned around and misspoken, misdirected.The way basically Mr. Israel interprets them. (Being a  non-lawyer he has every right, I think) 

I wish her well and success.

We are Wasting Valuable time.

Recall the President!

Term Limit Him and make it retroactive.

Lets get our Life Back!

Opt-out remarks

So the great one has spoken. He has a article in the latest edition of the UCO Record. His captured News paper. The Antis, formerly known as the Malcontents, (I prefer malcontents), we are against nothing. We are for fair play. We are for budgetary common sense. We are for keeping expenses down in the Village. We are  for reaching the end just after the money runs out.

Reading his article, I don't get it. He outlines a few lines of By Laws and adds a few insults, but the base points are not mentioned.

Of course we have a right to Opt-out, just as you have a right to Opt-in. It is just that opt-out makes more sense. Makes more monetary sense. Just makes more sense.

Just where does the NSA man get off saying that his way is the only way. It is his way or the highway? No I don't think so!

Another point is the fair presentation of the UCO Reporter. Do you see any articles that are anti-administration? Any articles that present the other side of this picture on Wi-Fi? You betcha you don't. Israel wont allow it. The editors are sissys.

The newspaper has only one side and that is the Presidents side. This whole Newspaper is set up to back anything Israels thinks and says. I have to find my way into print any way I can.

Is this what is called fair and just journalism? I think not.

Can something be done about it? Sure vote opt-out, start a recall, institute Term Limits.

By the way the history on Term Limits votes is not so bright and above board. It was voted on 3 times. Why? Because Israel didn't like the first 2 votes. So he kept calling for votes until he got what he wanted.

Recall them,Term Limit them out, Lets get the Good Guys in and straighten this mess out!

Subject: Re: $5 Million Dollar Roadway Disaster

I will not be part of your lawsuit. The delegates voted for the MM paving company. We were told that the way we voted to go was an inferior job and the old cracks on the road would come back. We were told that to prevent that MM would have to dig up the old road and start over. There was a big meeting. As usual the Delegates voted for the cheaper job and we got just what we voted for. As well when the job was over the job was inspected by an outside person and approved.


WE GOT WHAT WE PAID FOR.
TAKE ME OFF YOUR MAILING LIST. I AM NOT INTERESTED!!

Grace Macklin

So the Mighty Grace agrees that the road job, which cost in excess of $5 Million Dollars was, no doubt, an inferior job The old cracks will and did come back. It is the Delegates fault, for they voted for the cheaper job. The current administration which led the charge to go ahead, has no fault at all.

Grace beware. As a resident expert on road repairs you may be deposed in the coming lawsuit.


The problem here is that we may have been warned that the job was going to be poor and that to do the right job we needed more money, but the fact of the matter is M&M had no right to decide what was an adequate job and what was not. They, in cahoots with D. Israel and maybe Ed Black and maybe you,  all three of you, decided that to do an adequate job for $5 Million dollars was the poor job they did. The fact that we were told a poor job was in the offering is not Germain to his situation. They had no right to do a poor job. And of course the President has a say in this and I bet he sided against the better job, and talked the sleepy Delegates into it.


We, the Citizens of Century Village, contracted to get the roads repaved and we were entitled to get the best job M&M could do.Not the worst job. In spite of your venomous remarks. Not withstanding and in addition to, your dumb and stupid remarks, The Village is protected from such poor actions by our leadership and their contractors. I know there is Law that protects us from this.


You Grace Macklin, do not belong to be part of this Lawsuit, but despite your protestations the law says you are to be protected. And so you will be.

For now please be quiet and let us do our work.

A cursory look through contract laws brings up a number of laws that are applicable to our situation

Claims for poor workmanship and/or defects in the works are allowable, even encouraged. No matter what the UCO denizens think. What you think? What does DI thinks?

Defective work frequently occurs in construction projects. Defects may range from de minimis items included within snagging lists at practical completion, to significant but undetected (or latent) problems. A defect is generally a breach of contract by the contractor, but could relate to design that the contractor did not carry out, in which case only a professional consultant might be liable.

What ever happened to our punch lists?

Standard form contracts usually contain a defects liability clause that obliges the contractor to return to site, at its own cost, during the defects liability period or rectification period (normally six or 12 months) and remedy any defects that arise.

A contractor who is responsible for design and construction of the works may be liable for a defect that is caused, by poor workmanship, negligent design,  poor materials or a mixture of all three. 

So Grace what do you think is being said here?


Maintenance treatments for asphalt concrete generally include thin asphalt overlays, crack sealing, surface rejuvenating, fog sealing, micro milling or diamond grinding and surface treatments. Thin surfacing preserves, protects and improves the functional condition of the road while reducing the need for routing maintenance, leading to extended service life without increasing structural capacity.[41]

Why was this not done?

Is it possible, that Grace Macklins' education is such that she has limited understanding of what we are complaining about here.

Of course in Florida we have code enforcement. No matter what you want, what you pay for, you must pass through Code enforcement. They will protect you against yourself inspite of your self.

Recall or Term Limits these nasty and dishonest Peoples and lets get the Village back on the Straight and Narrow!

Happy New Year

Recall Absolutely

ISRAEL HAS TO BE “RECALLED”; 

WE REALLY DO NOT HAVE MUCH CHOICE!

The matter of “Recall” has surfaced many times.  That’s basically what Israel did re “Term Limits”; did it again and again, until he got his way.

What a sparked group of people who are looking for an “honest” government and a true caring for the people need for a “recall” is legitimate charges.  These charges must be factual and must be able to be substantially proven.  They must be such that they violate the UCO By-Laws and/or violate statutes, whether City, Town, County or State.  Regarding the latter, the Israel acts must be unlawful in nature, not necessarily reckless disregard by the making of mistakes.  In that regard, I believe criminal action is surely something that should be explored.

Israel has violated several By-Law requirements, AND, he may have committed felonious acts, all in reference to the paving job, and other matters beyond the paving’s “Deals.”

Since we know, practically to the penny, all of the monies UCO has paid to M&M Paving, with the exception of the Hastings area, a whistle-blower could go to the Criminal Investigations Division of the IRS.  That could very well break things wide open in discovering who got what for doing what.

Single page contracts for five million dollars’ worth of work!!!  All of it very secretly handled by Israel and Black.  Everything on the up and up, right??  How friggin’ dumb does one have to be to accept what most certainly appears to be a private, back-room scheme that defies common sense and legitimate understanding of fraudulent dealings.  You don’t have to have the brains of Charlie Chan to figure this one out.

If you have a one-page contract for a $100,000 contract, -- that is suspicious enough and raises red flags everywhere.  BUT, three out of four one-page contracts with separate signature pages and no witness signatures on any of the four!!  And let’s not forget the Triton “contracts” Israel signed as “Owner” for drainage repairs!  Altogether, over five million dollars’ worth of work goes way beyond sensibility.

Then, bring in Carver, who volunteered to take over everything in the Village involving paving and who did nothing.  He was in full control and reported to nobody, not even providing daily or weekly reports.  And, it gets worse.

You have two vice-presidents, Guarnagia and Cornish who managed to have a 312 page Preliminary Punch List suddenly disappear and reduced to about 8 pages.  Funny thing, -- there are no copies of the original list.  And, the paving company – M&M – was paid in full no matter what was wrong with the paving work.  Who suffers? – We do!

Look at the Watergate affair.  Just think about that for a moment.  Criminal acts were committed by President Nixon, but nothing would have come to light but for one man who spilled his guts and the whole thing broke open, - and the “I’m not a crook” statement.  So, after one man comes forth, so do others, all trying to save their hide.  And, the President resigns.  Good teaching for Century Village, don’t you think?  The absolute truth is eventually going to surface and that one person may come forward and then the biggest perpetrators are revealed.  And then, all of a sudden, certain people leave town.

So, let’s get practical.  If it looks like a duck, if it talks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, -- unless you have two left eyes and wear earlaps, -- then you know it’s a duck.  Look at all of the facts, everywhere, and you’ll only have to ask, “Is that duck a crook?”

A “Recall” is mandatory.  The UCO President is, by the bottom line, responsible for everything that happens on his watch, and in this case, he is DIRECTLY responsible for everything.  The NSA has no doubt taught him, -- if you’re guilty, say nothing, say absolutely nothing; if you’re cornered, blame other people; if you must speak because of demands made upon you, - deny everything . . .  everything. 

Okay, look at all the facts . . . they are right there in front of your eyeballs.  When everything is proven, and he is booted out of the UCO President’s chair, -- then his loyal followers, by human nature, come forth and state “I never did like him anyway.”

EDUARDO

So it is time to initiate a Recall, the sooner the better.

Comcast, fairness, prices

Can you believe that the nice Company Comcast is charging for what looks like any programming older than current programming? That seems to me to be Greedy. They seem to charge for anything and everything.

What is even worse, if you go to Comcast.com you get the Comcast Web site which is very informative, but does not cover what is going on with the local Comcast.

If you want to change your shows, what you see as available is not necessarily available on the South florida Comcast. You get the info by calling 1-800-Comcast. You cannot tell current programming and charges from this web site.

I know that their intent is not to confuse, but the system the way it is set up now is anything but.

Ed Black is alive and well, but where?

Who the heck is Ed Black? Where does he live? What does he do? Does he actually exist? Does he do any good? Good for the Village?

Lets start off by saying I never met Ed Black. I have no idea what he looks like. I have no idea what he sounds like.

My knowledge of him is from his friends and enemies.

So who the heck is he? What power in the UCO pecking order does he have? I'll tell you. I don't know. His name pops up every now and then. But only when the nasty ones' name is mentioned.

Is he a accolade? I don't think so . To slick for that, maybe even a little to smart for that. So what then?

He is the kitchen cabinet of David Israel. He is the personal advisor of David Israel. He may make all of David Israels decisions.

I think that when we get rid of the Nasty man, Ed Black has to go with him.

It would be nice if all of the decisions that UCO make are made by the Advisory Committee or the Officer's Committee. But sadly only Ed black has the Nasty Man's ears.

So when we Recall the Nasty Man or Term Limit him we will have to treat Ed Black the same way.

Recall this Nasty Person

Take his friend with him

Lets do it Now!

Frightening meeting

Today I met a new unit owner. He told me he went to UCO for business and to get his auto passes. In the UCO building he met a Mr. Black, a nice man who he thought was the President. Who really is a Volunteer. But he wields unprecendent power for a non-elected volunteer

He also met a short, squat bald headed man who frightened our new owner. He was frightened by the anger emanating from this man. The ordering around and the overall threatening attitude.

Our new unit member did not know who this could be. But we do. It is the voice of Century Village, It is the face of Century Village. Angry, impolite and downright nasty.

Both the Voice and demeanor frightened this new owner.

Nice way for anybody to be welcomed to Century Village and UCO.

It is past time for action. Lets get this nasty man recalled. Lets do it now!

Here is Lanny Howe complaining that he does not know how to use all of the fabulous technology that Israel is furnishing the special people, at our expense. He seems to need some hand holding here.

But if you look at the comment stream, good ole Dave has maybe 10 accolades in his corner. The rest of us are left out in the cold, or at the bank. Our job is to pay up and shut up.

Is this right? Is this what we want? Are we going to keep putting up with the accolades and Dave's Friends spending all the technology money, and us not able to take advantage of the technology. Probably because we don't want or need it.

What we do want and do need is

Do it Now!!

Is Our Money Safeguarded and has it been for the last 4 years?

An Open Letter to Amazing Grace and Mr. Rivera and all other interested parties, including the entire Delegates Assembly:

For the record, from November of 2010 until March of 2012 the Treasurer of record, duly accepted by the Delegates to safeguard the money, was none other than Mr. Ed Black.  Within a very short period of time after he accepted this responsibility – April to July of 2011 – “contracts” had been signed by D. Israel – the President of UCO – authorizing the expenditure of $4,911,440. (Thats 4 million 900 thousand dollars)

Two or three weeks ago each of you posted comments referring to the commitments made relative to the road restoration project.  A time line of the awarding of these “contracts” is as follows:

April 12, 2011   perimeter walkway                                     $   104,732

                              Signed by D Israel   May 2, 2011

May 24, 2011  asphalt paving – phase 1                             $ 2,085,000

                               Signed by D Israel  June 1, 2011

July 11, 2011  asphalt paving – phase 2                              $ 2,445,000

                               Signed by D Israel  August 9, 2011

January 17, 2012  various work - 2102 parking lot           $      37,494

                              Signed by D Israel  January 17, 2012

Plus miscellaneous costs i.e. permit fees, work done

 and not included in quotations, etc.                                   $     84,573

GRAND TOTAL                                                                         $ 4,756,799

With the exception of the last “contract” all three were signed by David Israel as President of UCO – there are no witness signatures – and the signature page is completely separate from the “contract”.  The last “contract” continues on the second page – signature as stated above – no witnesses

                            

Additional money spent during this time period was used to pay Triton Associates for catch basins (drains) at various locations in Century Village.  There are two proposals, both signed on January 28, 2011 by David B. Israel as President.  Again, the signature page in one instance is completely separate from the “proposal” which was apparently used in lieu of a formal contract.

On January 27, 2011, two separate “Construction Agreements” were signed by Rodger Carver as C.A.M. and David B. Israel as owner.  Owner?  Yes, David B. Israel is an owner, but that of a unit in Greenbrier.  Surely he is not the owner of Century Village or United Civic Organization.

   

Payments were made as work progressed beginning February 10, 2011 and ending August 29, 2011 with additional work performed early in 2012 – total paid to this vendor - $192,135.

So, how does all of this add up?  I find it necessary to repeat this - between January and July 2011 UCO committed to spending $4,911,440 and in January 2012 an addition $37,494.  So, $4,948,934 to make repairs, and we still have flooded roads, cracked roads, uneven road surfaces in parking areas.

During Mr. Black’s tenure, and without any discussion with the Delegates, the first two contracts were awarded to M&M - $2,189,732.  When heavy equipment was seen rolling into the Village and questions were being asked, only then was it revealed that these arrangements had been made.

Subsequently, Mr. Black approached the Delegates for permission to proceed with what is known as Phase II with the explanation that a great deal of money would be saved due to the fact that the equipment was on premises and re-mobilization of this heavy machinery would not be necessary – a potential savings of $500,000.  And, the Delegates said OK.  The quoted “savings” was never formally questioned and to this day there are many who feel it was vastly over-stated. 

At the same meeting the Delegates also approved the acquisition of a line of credit - up to $1 million - that could be used in the event of a catastrophe such as a hurricane.  Thousands of dollars were spent just to obtain this line of credit; the terms of which made it impossible to access.  More money spent unnecessarily. 

So, Grace and Mr. Rivera, the facts are quite clear.  Responsibility for the depletion of the UCO reserve funds belongs to a select few.  Namely, Mr. Israel and Mr. Black, and I would go so far as to suggest that the remaining elected officers who were charged with protecting the interests of ALL of the owners reneged on their responsibility.  I am proud to say – I was NOT one of them.

One of the Great Foobar's followers is so happy he has changed his take out-order from one that delivers to the Haverhill gate to one that will deliver to the Okeechobee gate so he can watch the delivery guy on Israel's Cameras. Can you believe it? Remember who is paying for this.

Sensible? Useful?  Well spent money?  Absolutely NOT!

This is the kind of nonsense that we have to put up with when we let the children get at the money.

I expect to see more of this as time goes on. Each time it happens, it costs. You and Me!

Wi-Fi answers a need, but "Campus Wide Wi-Fi" is not it. We, that is all of us, need and should have Wi-Fi, but Association way is the way to go. Reasonable, low cost Wi-Fi. It should not be used as a expensive toy.

Lets stop Israel and his selfish causes.

Recall or Re-establish Term Limits

Do It Now!!

Subject to Indictment?

Reading through Dorothy Tetro's post one cannot help but wonder how these guys can get away with this and not be subject to indictment? You know this can not be made up.

In the first place Dorothy Tetro was the Treasurer for the years following when all this was going on. She was aware of what was happening, but had no authority to change anything.

So we go back to the Israel/Black years and I see contracts signed without Delegate Votes I see pseudo contracts signed with the signature on a separate page and the contract itself on another. And of course the constant stream of half truths and misdirection from both Israel and Black.

And to top it all off, the road job stinks. No body is happy and everybody wants a change. Eventually the roads will have to be repaired, early,  and we,  the Residents are going to have to pay, and pay, and pay....

Right now we can only hope the repair needs come later rather then earlier.

The least we can do is Get rid of Israel, whether by recall or term limits. When he goes, Black and some of his strongest supports will follow. At least then we  can get serious about putting money away for the big repairs that are coming, And stop wasting the money on "campus wide Wi-Fi", cameras and putting  camera output on to the Internet and who knows what else.

We have to start NOW!

Recall or Term Limits NOW!!

What is Important about the New Camera feeds?

There are, at this time at least 5 camera feeds at the Okeechobee gate, with more being planned. The feed is available to anyone with a Smart Phone. Which means it is limited to only the serious Computerphile with a Smart phone, which leaves out most of us.

What I don't understand is what do we need this for?  So far the plan is monitoring car traffic only. So that means no cameras in the parking lots, no cameras in or around the big Laundry. No Cameras where the women in the Village feel the most unsafe. Unless they are speeding and driving in a car.

If you look at the comment stream it is composed of the "usual suspects" who mostly love these new and expensive toys that Israel serves up, and we pay for.

But what exactly is the function of these cameras and why are we spending UCO assets without the Delegate Assembly's OK.

PBSO is happy, Israel is happy, the usual suspects are happy.

But are the majority of the residents happy? Do they know what this is all about? Do they care?

Its time for a Recall and/or a Term limit vote

Opt-out/Opt-in

Here is one of the many Associations that followed Ed Grossman lead and Opted-out of Israel's Wi-Fi and Opted-in to the Association's Wi-Fi and in the process saved themselves a lot of money. Now and in the future.

to Ed Grossman. As of 9/12/14 coventry j association has successfully installed the comcast wifi system. Happily I can report that all 24 condo's have a wifi signal and all have the ability to log on to the internet. Thank you for first month payment being free. Please pass along to any association that wants all the facts to contact our association.

Raisin redux again

So back to the grinning D. Israel and Misdirection and Eva Radesky (WPRF's in charge person). The claims that the Opt-out forms do not exist and therefore  Eva has refused the Opposition the OK to pass out these forms in the club house are untrue.

The problem is that these are the same forms that were used successfully by 75-80 Associations to Opt-out of the UCO Insurance plan. The Associations successfully opted-out in favor of their own chosen Insurance Carriers.

So what was good as a Opt-out for Insurance is still good for a Opt-out for Israels Wi-Fi, and should be.

Except for the denial by D.Israel and Eva R's illegal denial of the right to pass out these legal forms in our Clubhouse.

I think there is some confusion here. The Wizard and the Master are confused. They do not have the right to stop anybody from passing these documents out the Club House.

Actually the both of them know the truth and have elected to lie about it - Again.

Terms Limits will stop all this Crooked politicizing

Raisins in the Sun

The little man in office 101,UCO building, head of UCO, Tyranny Division, has a reason for existing, He calls it raison-d'etre. This supposedly means the reason for his existence. It is simpler to think of UCO's reason for existence is service to the Unit Owner, all of them. Not just the agreeable ones, but the oppositional ones as well.


The opposition exists as a check on the UCO's sneaky doings. If a opposition did not exist the boys in the backrooms would have their way with us.


We cannot allow this, and we wont!


The Wizards will be made to toe the mark. This will include the Masters at WPRF. They have forgotten who they work for. They have forgotten where the monies come from. They have forgotten that their erstwhile friend who sits in Room 101 Uco building, has a tenuous job and the best to say about it is that it is temporary, and soonly temporary.

So Remember Vote for Term Limits

Misdirection Redux

MisDirection, MisDirection, MisDirection. The Tin Man (he has no heart) is at again! Now he is gloating over the fact that the WPRF refused to allow one of the UCO members (that would be a Unit Owner) to pass out Opt-out forms. The big guy gloats that that is not a UCO form. Of course it is, if UCO has an Opt-in form they also have an Opt- out form.

Guess what,the Straw Man insists there is no such form, thus the request was denied. UCO is not in the Opt-Out business; UCO's entire raison-d'etre is Opting-In. There is another raison-d’etre. That of serving the Community. Which the Straw Man and his Cohorts do not do well at all.

UCO’s entire raison d’etre appears, at the moment, is to leave as many unit holders twisting in the wind as he can. However, this reason changes as he see other opportunities for Power grabs.

He and WPRF are in cahoots here to screw as many of the Opposition Residents, at least those that do not conform, as possible.

We should not be afraid of the wrath of the President. His threats are nothing but bluster. If he does not get his way, he might hold his breath until he turns blue, might even hold a temper tantrum.

His little post on the private blog is illuminating in that it shows the shallowness of this resident of OZ. He is chortling over the fact that WPRF went along with his  lie that the Opt-out Forms do not exist only Opt-in. The fact is neither of them are specifically in the By-Laws, but neither is the Wi-Fi plan, and therefore if the Wi-Fi of the Village is not in the Millennium Agreement, you can Opt-out at will.

The sad thing about this is that the Nasty Little Man is aware of this, but he MisDirects to get his own way.

          Do Not be Afraid of the Nasty Little Man

Vote for Term Limits

stupid is

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES

Borrowing a line from Forrest Gump, I would like to remind our readers of some of the inane things David and his gang say at times.

David Israel loves to repeat the following line:  Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. In answer to his famous line I would like to ask the question.   Be careful of wishing David Israel President for life – you might get it.

 Lanny Howe who works at the UCO reporter and firmly believes in his importance because of his friendship with David Israel proclaimed  recently on his Masters  blog that the  distribution of the Wi-Fi  Opt Out form  is the same as a thief burglarizing a house – can you believe what a dumb statement that was?  There is no correlation between the two whatsoever.  This is a man who at times can be sensible and when he does say something rational, I commend him for it. However, this is also a man who can be so stupid and blind that it is my duty to make you aware of his inconsistencies. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THE MALCONTENTS ARE NEITHER INCONSISTENT NOR WISHY WASHY. WE HAVE CLEAR GOALS:  DUMP DAVE - BRING BACK TERM LIMITS – ONE VOTE - AND MOST OF ALL SUE THE SONS OF BITCHES TO GET OUR MONEY BACK FOR THE CRAPPY AND ILLEGAL ROADWAY PROJECT.

 BE BRAVE – DO NOT FEAR DAVID ISRAEL - SUPPORT OUR LAWSUIT. 

Be Prepared for an Expensive Wi-Fi Vote

It is all about Power.

 Who has it and who does not. The occupant of room 101 UCO Building needs as much power as he can grab. The citizens of Century Village count only if he can keep them cowed.

If he has you cowed, if he has you frightened then he can pretty much get away with anything. Such as not allowing your name to show up the Mail list so you do not get the info on the Committees. In addition, of course he can whisper from the chair at the Delegate Meeting that this request “will never be honored.”  As if this was his God given right to give out favors or not to.

Power Corrupts.

We send out emails every now and again and the news is not the canned news that Israel and gang would publish.

Don’t believe him and his remarks about the Malcontents. Yes we are Malcontents and proud of it. Anything that we publish is the Truth and is not exaggerated or twisted

The latest news is that the Israel is planning on sneaking through his Wi-Fi through and costing us at least $10-$15 per month, per unit. Don’t let this happen. 

Remember how he got the Term Limits to fail. The first Vote was for the Term limits, later the Board said the vote was illegal and so another vote was taken. ; It passed so he did it again. This time it failed. Where were the delegates? What were they doing? They were there busy voting and napping. Were they paying attention?

Did they care? Can it happen again? You betcha!

Vote Yes on Term Limit, 

Vote yes to recall him

Read the Emails and be Warned about Hackers

Did the Hackers call you and let you know what is going on?  No?  I did.  The hacking of Home Depot is the most recent of many hacking done.

So you are still worried about a email from My Village Blogger and The CV Messenger?

We warned you and we tell you what is going on,  And you still are afraid to open any email we send. Ridiculous.

The only way you are going to be kept up to date is by our emails. Let them come in, Read them, comment on them. Trust them.

The hackers may hack, The President may rail on about the Malcontents,
The President may lie in your face but the facts are that our Emails and Bulletins are the only ones worth opening and reading. They can be Trusted.

Israel can do nothing to Hurt you. He can threaten, but he cannot hurt. His strength is your fear of what he might do.

Recall David Israel

The President's Chair

What is up in office # 101 UCO building?

This is the address of the UCO President. In his office there are many things going on. Some make the Sunshine Laws happy, most do not. The following is some examples.

Was it good manners, did it make sense for this Office to remark that the Presidents club invitation of CSI, an organization that helps the elderly, to remark that the club was duplicating effort. Did it make any difference? NO!

·        The President of UCO, at the last Delegates Meeting, made a remark to the effect that if an Association were sued for some action then UCO would defend. NOT TRUE!

·        Is it proper for the President of UCO to refuse to put a Unit Owner on the mail list concerning the committee meetings? However, this is exactly what is happening and is in the Public Knowledge. Does he have the right to exclude any Unit Holder from any lawful information? Absolutely NO!

All of this and much more shows how far the President of UCO has gone in abrogating his authority and in the treatment the Average Unit Owner. The threats from this person are outrageous. The actual things he does are quite outside the by-laws.  He thinks that since he has gotten his way for the last 3 years he can always get his way. Not so!

Let us not forget the old adage. Power Corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Recall or Resign

The Importance of Emails

For those of you that feel that your Email address is a very private thing. A devise to only be used by friends and family. Not to be used by acquaintances and certainly not by Political People.

Think again!


The situation in Century Village forces you to allow the Opposition to send you emails, otherwise  there is no way to let their message out, and you will miss out on the serious business of UCO Dues The way things are heading now, without the Opposition to call attention to the direction of the yearly fees, and you the unit owner not getting involved in the Delegate's Voting we are are heading for a considerable raise, say $13-$15 You can't be behind this. You must be on top of it. If you don't advise your Delegates how to vote on Israel's Wi-Fi initiative you will wake up one morning with a increase of $15/'month/unit owner.

Do you know that the Treasurer is only talking about  a increase of fees somewhere between $3-5/month/unit owner. Because he has taken Israel's Wi-Fi out of the picture. No Wi-Fi. No Wi-Fi no horrendous UCO raise!

 Did you know that UCO is not talking about announcing any fees, but the area Israel is in is about $15/month/unit owner. The difference is the inclusion or exclusion of the Wi-Fi initiative. You must Vote this down for now!

So if you are not paying attention here, so if you are not reading our Emails, you will be faced with a choice at a Delegate Meeting with no prior knowledge.
So If the Delegates are allowed to nod-off again the fees that Israel wants may be passed. The same thing happened with the triple vote on Term Limits, which ended up with we have none.

So pay attention and be aware Dear Unit Owners you are being attacked at the bank, and you may not know of it.

Read All Emails you get from My Village Blogger
Read all Emails you get from the CV Messenger Club
We are the friends and the Good Guys
Advise you Delegates how to Vote

Vote for Term Limits

Ha Ha, DON Ho Ho,  I GOTCHA!

Donald Foster alias Don 4060 alias Don Ho Ho the Dummy that works at the UCO Reporter has now become the latest suspect in the case of the missing sign.  Don HO HO unknowingly admitted to getting close enough to my sign to see what was written on the back.  Most people stopped their cars to look but Don Ho Ho went further.  He got out of his car, examined the sign and took note of what was written on the back – clear evidence of a suspect.   Is this when he decided to pilfer it? Or did he come back later that night.  He admittedly stole my Wi-Fi so why not steal my sign as well.  He must feel terribly guilty because he had the need to make, an ACT OF CONTRITION by going on Elaine Ba Ba’s blog (David Israel’s part two blog)  and spilling the beans about what was written on the back of the sign - just the thing a stupid thief would do.  How dumb can anyone get? Oh Yea, he has his alibi ready too. Give me a break Don.

To Lanny Howe: Thank for your kind and true words  on the sign. Objectivity is always appreciated. 

MisDirection revisited again

It is hard to believe what you see going on today with ISIS running wild, with the Governor of Texas making up stories and with the President of UCO lying and making up stories. Basically these guys are all Misdirectors.

I don't have to say much about ISIS. There was a headline in the New York Times this AM showing a Video where they capture a Town near Baghdad and lined up all the enemy soldiers and shot them in the name of Allah. The good thing about this story is that 1 soldier survived and reported  it. The Misdirection here is not as clear as the following stories.

This is the second story, the Governor of Texas says he knows that the ISIS fighters have successfully sneaked into Texas via the Coyote route through Mexico. This is Misdirection and is not true. Governor Perry says this for his own gain. To get more U.S.Government money into Texas.

The third story is closer to home and it is about our Great UCO President claiming that all electioneering signs are bad and make CV into Ghetto. - Misdirection. What he is after is to get rid of the Malcontents, which are now growing with more Villagers becoming aware of the Truth. So he claims Ghettoizing (MisDirection).

I have said before his calling us a Ghetto is just his way of showing his Anti-Semitism, Color and Race bias and hurting everyone in the Village. This guy has to go! Term Limits are the fastest way to do this.

Term Limits will End It

So the malfeasance sector has decided to take more direct action than just posting anomalies on the very private blog.

They have taken to outright stealing of private property. Where is the CV Security when they are needed?

Nowhere in sight. I guess the security is only for the friends and fauna of the Little Nasty Man.

You know an attack on one villager, will beget more attacks. So if you think you are not under threat, think again. This kind of behavior breeds more and more of this roughneck and brutal behavior.

I think that the Little Anti Semite is reaching out into dangerous territory. By saying that a sign about Opting-out is Ghettoizing, next he will call those people that live in the signs areas bad Jews or worse.

The Nasty little man and his Cohorts have to be stopped.  They cannot be allowed, in their own personal interest, for their own personal aggrandizement, to continue with these actions. What must be done is to get rid of them. The sooner the better. I can’t wait for the next election. I can wait for the Delegates to Vote on Term Limits. Get the Term Limits in and The Little one is gone. Peace will reign again.

Just what do we have to do to get Term Limits? Remember the last time The Great leader ran the vote 2 or 3 times. The first time the Vote put in Term Limits, but the Little Boss didn't like it so he had another vote. The results of the second vote did not please him so he did it again. All the time the Delegates were nodding off. Not anymore! We should not have to put up this, with allowing stealing and Misdirection. Believe me, it won't happen again.

I think all that is needed is a Delegate to call for a Vote on Term Limits, have it seconded and then vote it in. And make it retroactive.

There will be some problems with D. Israel, as he squirms to stop the vote,  but I think the by-laws are clear enough for us to overcome his illegal attempts

          THE USUAL SUSPECTS

Recently,   two free standing signs were stolen in front of Northampton R-S.  One read: SUPPORT HE LAWSUIT AGAINST DAVID ISRAEL AND UCO and the other, OPT OUT OF WI-FI. When I reported the theft to the police, the officer in charge asked me if I suspected who might have stolen them. I told him it may have been any one of David Israel’s ten closest associates because they opposed my politics.  Thanks to Ms Elaine Brown’s confessional piece on David’s number of two blogs, I have narrowed the list to one.  Ms Brown IS a close associate of David and admittedly expressed joy at the disappearance of the signs; therefore, it is only natural to  place her at the top of the list of usual suspects. 

My Favorite Poem

My Favorite Poem

Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ulysses

It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match’d with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.

I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed
Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when
Through scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vexed the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honoured of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers;
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breathe were life. Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this grey spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.

This is my son, mine own Telemachus,
To whom I leave the sceptre and the isle —
Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfil
This labour, by slow prudence to make mild
A rugged people, and through soft degrees
Subdue them to the useful and the good.
Most blameless is he, centred in the sphere
Of common duties, decent not to fail
In offices of tenderness, and pay
Meet adoration to my household gods,
When I am gone. He works his work, I mine.

There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil’d, and wrought, and thought with me —
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads — you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew

Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield
