Lassi Come Home

Mango Lassi Recipe
1 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup rose water, OK milk instead if you are not Indian
1 cup chopped mango (peeled and stone removed)
You really do not need sugar to taste
Put all into a blender and blend for 1 or 2 minutes, delicious.
Some people sprinkle with a little cardamom. Pfft!

THE NEW POOL GATES

As I was leaving the UCO Reporter office the other day, I came across a man working on the new gate to the Camden pool. (For those of you who don’t know, the Reporter office is at the Camden pool. You must go through the new gate to get to the office.)

I saw for the first time what everyone has been talking about: how you must pull down on the spring-loaded solid tube to unlatch the lock on these new gates to the public pools. I saw how the top of this solid tube is quite high, about 54 inches, I believe I’ve read. Operating as they should, I can see the new gates would keep out small children, which I suppose is their purpose. Kids over seven years old could probably manage the lock mechanism better than we adults.

The man working on the gate talked to me about it for several minutes. Completely aside from the difficulty many people have had in reaching the top of this activating solid tube, he said it was important for people to realize the gates are meant to ONLY SWING OUTWARD. This, he explained, is because there is another spring mechanism (which he showed me) that automatically shuts the gate. He was going around repairing all the new gates, tweaking this and tweaking that, because people in their frustrations had made them unworkable in one way or another.

When I went back to the Reporter office a few hours later, something had already failed. The gate was open, swung outward but not swung back to the closed position by the spring mechanism. Apparently the gate mechanisms break down easily.

I don’t know what the future holds for these gates, but if we are to keep them, I think several people suggested: outside and inside each gate have a sign that explains how to use it. Perhaps it should be partly pictorial. The sign should make it clear how to pull down on the solid tube, and it should also explain that the gate is meant to open only outward—AWAY from the pool enclosure.

Or—keeping in mind precocious five-year-olds who can read—would such a sign be a bad idea? The "how to," in any event, could be explained in the Reporter and possibly on channel 63.

NOTICE OF PASSING

Photo by: Ken Graff

Hi all,
It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of Betty Lapidus, at Good Samaritan hospice, this afternoon; July 30, 2010.

Betty served in numerous positions of responsibility in service to her Association(s) and of course to UCO. She will be missed by many.

There will be no funeral here in West Palm Beach, but rather in New York, from which she originally came to CV.

There will be a Memorial Service here in West Palm Beach at a future time to be announced

Operations Committee disruption

Hi All,
At the Operations Committee meeting of July 27, 2010 one of our guests rose, unrecognized by the chair, and loudly proclaimed the UCO President and Chair of the Committee to be a Communist, and running a Communist meeting and further stated that his actions made Joe Stalin look like a pussycat! Arguably actionable speech in a public forum; and fully captured in Minutes of the meeting!

I am also advised that this same individual threatened the editor of the UCO
Reporter with unspecified consequences if the Reporter failed to publish her submitted articles! Also, fortunately documented and witnessed!

This outburst, because I attempted to reduce the incessant interruptions by a small group of disruptive persons, by limiting participation to one speaker in support and one speaker opposed to any motion prior to a vote being taken. This is provided for in our Bylaws.

I would suggest that the behaviour noted above be stopped and that the "Loyal Opposition" come with ideas rather than disruption; in which case, the Operations Committee can return to less restrictive guest participation rules

Low Income Home Energy Assistance

In 2009, at the end of July and beginning of August, the Division of Senior Services were at the Clubhouse so that individuals could sign up for assistance relating to their FPL bills. Certain information was required to register for this assistance. This was spearheaded by PB County Division of Senior Services.
Is this going to be facilitated again this year at our Clubhouse? Certain individuals within our community could use this credit, depending on their income of course. Please advise if this is going to take place again. Any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated by all as many individuals living here have no means of transportation to travel to the Government Center downtown for application of this very valuable and helpful program.

NEW POOL LOCKS

Hi all,
Having fielded a number of complaints about the new "self latching, self locking" pool locks; permit me to assure you all that UCO is in contact with WPRF and the Health Department in an attempt to solve the problem.

We are reaching out to a number of sources to help gather facts regarding your experience with the new locks.

I am well aware that a not insignificant number of our residents are being severly impacted by these new locks. We were driven by new Code requireing that these devices be self actuating; and we were concerned with potentially expensive citations from Code Enforcement officials; as this Code was passed in May 2009.

It is noted, that while the Code is specific about the parameters of the locking requirements, no specific brand is named, so alternative options will be explored.

Additionally, UCO is aware now that some of our residents are in effect being denied access to Rec. Facility pools, due to an inability to operate the locking system. We have had, also, a number of pool goers who could not let themselves out of the pool area.

Please be assured that we are working with WPRF to arrive at a solution which will meet code and also not impact residents access or egress.

Comments welcome, especially personal experience with new lock.

2010-11 Entertainment Season

Along with others I had the opportunity to view the Trailer of the up coming season's
programs, this past Tuesday..It contained many familiar faces ( those that have
appeared here in the past )in addition to several that have not..
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, is my conclusion, however in view of the current Policy
of NO REFUNDS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,which I BELIEVE should be RE-VISITED, I wonder
how SUCCESSFUL, this year's PRE PAID SEASON TICKET PROGRAM,will be.
Since 2003, I have participated in this program, however after learning of the
Policy change,at an Operations Meeting, last Summer( 2009 )and having had the
misfortune of dealing with multiple illnesses/surgerys/etc.,could not attend several
of the presentations,and either donated my tickets,to acquaintances (for my friends
had already pre purchased)or our seats were left unoccupied...Therefore it is
not in my best interest to participate at this time.. I do believe circumstances
such as I have described,or situations such as confinements ( at home, nursing
facilities etc.) automatically be given a refund...in addition, we too should be
offered the OPTION,of accepting the replacement talent, for a cancelled show,
or the return of our money....Either way, We PAY..

QUOTE OF THE DAY

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm,

she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If

you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal... If you give her a smile,

she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to

her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

CITIZENS OBSERVER PATROL (COP) TO BE REVITALIZED

Hi All,

When I was made aware that there were some issues with our COP unit, I ask VP Phyllis Richland to attend their meeting with only 10 minutes notice.
-
Phyllis took the message that UCO fully supports COP and will make every effort to publicize the efforts of these volunteers who are a key component in our Security Triad.
-
Thanks are due for her rapid response.
-
Phyllis has arranged a meeting with PBSO officers to discuss what we can do to revitalize the COP unit here in CV.
-
So, the imminent threat of the demise of COP in CV is highly premature, as we have already had additional volunteers; please consider stepping up and volunteer for COP to enhance the security of our village.

CULPRITS

Our Association has a mango tree in back of one of
our condos. To our amazement this year the mango tree
has tripled the number of mangos on our tree. The unit
owners of our association have waited patiently for
the mangos to ripen but there is a culprit (or maybe
more than one) who has been stealing our mango even
thought they still have not ripened. Doesn't anyone
have a conscience anymore. If they had asked... we are
generous people and we would of told him to take a
few and enjoy eating them.
.
Nutmeg I added photo of raccoon evidence, they can always find the one ripe fruit on an unripe tree. OMG that one looks perfect.

NEW POOL GATES AND FENCES - CODE DRIVEN

Hi all,
The decision to fence equipment areas and change the gates on the W.P.R.F., Inc. pools was not a capricious act of the Operations Committee. The changes were driven by The Florida Administrative Code which, in this case, became effective in May of 2009, with a Drop Dead Date of May 2010. The total cost of these changes was circa $11,000.00. Those interested in keeping up to date on these issues should make it a point to attend the Operations Committee meetings. Those Associations with Private pools on our CV Campus can expect to hear from your inspectors in due course as regards these changes.

Dave Israel

The particular Code reference for these changes is: 64E-9.006 FAC

REF:

https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ChapterHome.asp?Chapter=64E-9

And the following extracts apply.

(e) Equipment Enclosures, Area or Rooms – Equipment designated by the manufacturer for outdoor use may be located in an equipment area, all other equipment must be located in an equipment room or enclosure. Plastic pipe subject to a period of prolonged sunlight exposure must be coated to protect it from ultraviolet light degradation. An equipment area shall be surrounded with a fence at least four feet high on all sides not confined by a building or equivalent structure. A self-closing and self-latching gate with a locking device shall be provided if necessary for access. An equipment room shall be protected on at least three sides and overhead. The fourth side may be a gate, fence, or open if otherwise protected from unauthorized entrance. Any fence or gate installed shall use members spacing that shall not allow passage of a 4 inch diameter sphere. An equipment enclosure shall be lockable or otherwise protected from unauthorized access. This access security shall be installed on all pool equipment areas by one year from the effective date of this rule for those that do not presently have a similar level of security. The equipment enclosure, area or room floor shall be of concrete or other nonabsorbent material having a smooth slip resistant finish and shall have positive drainage, including a sump pump if necessary. Ancillary equipment, such as a heater, not contained in an equipment enclosure or room shall necessitate an equipment area as described above, which shall also be installed by one year from the effective date of this rule.

(h) All public pools shall be surrounded by a minimum 48 inch high fence or other substantial barrier approved by the department. The fence shall be continuous around the perimeter of the pool area that is not otherwise blocked or obstructed by adjacent buildings or structures and shall adjoin with itself or abut to the adjacent members. Access through the barrier or fence from dwelling units such as homes, apartments, motel rooms, and hotel rooms, shall be through self-closing self-latching lockable gates of 48 inch minimal height from the floor or ground with the latch located a minimum of 54 inches from the bottom of the gate or at least 3 inches below the top of the gate on the pool side. If the self-closing self-latching gate is also self-locking and is operated by a key lock, electronic opener, or integral combination lock, then the operable parts of such locks or openers shall be 34 inches minimum and 48 inches maximum above the finished floor or ground. Doored access points from public rooms such as lobbies or club houses need not be through gates. Gates shall open outward away from the pool area. A latched, lockable gate shall be placed in the fence within ten feet of the closest point between the pool and the equipment area for service access.
Instead of a fence, permanent natural or man-made features such as bulkheads, canals, lakes, navigable waterways, etc., adjacent to a pool may be permitted as a barrier when approved by the department. When evaluating such barrier features, the department may perform onsite inspections, and review evidence, such as surveys, aerial photographs, water management agency standards and specifications, and any other similar documentation to verify at minimum, the following: the barrier feature is not subject to natural changes, deviations, or alterations and is capable of providing an equivalent level of protection as that provided by a structure, and the barrier feature clearly impedes, prohibits or restricts access to the pool.
Screened pool enclosures must be hardened on the bottom three feet. Fencing consideration shall be given to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Publication No. 362, March 2005, guidelines available from CPSC.gov; or the Florida Building Code, 2007 with 2009 amendments, sections 424.2.17.1.1 – 424.2.17.1.8. Safety Covers that comply with ASTM Standard F1346-91 (Reapproved 2003), titled Safety Covers and Labeling Requirements for All Covers for Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs, and available from ASTM.org , do not satisfy this requirement.

New Gates & Locks

I went to Dorchester pool yesterday and saw that there was a new gate with a new lock on the top of the gate. Someone told me to open the gate you pull up on top and it opens. Another told me to pull down to open. With the gate still open I tried both ways to no avail. This morning I went back with camera in hand. Two women showed me that when closed you push down and shove gate open. One woman needed both hands to push down. I was told it was a new law about locks. Okay, so what was wrong with the old gate, nothing. This is smaller so the cart doesn't come in with the pool maintenance person. I am strong and not too short. How does the person in the mechanical wheel chair get in, the person who needs the cane to steady themselves, the short person? Oh, they don't need to come to the pool anymore as they can't get in or out. We have some of the above who come to Dorchester. Who picked this particular lock? Certainly no one who was thinking of the elderly or infirmed who may live here and want to go to the pool. I don't think the law said, buy this particular lock and what was wrong with the fastener on the last gate? It could have been moved up a bit higher so all the children who are running around here loose cannot reach it. What a waste of money and no thought to the person who is elderly and infirmed!!!!!!

Need Assistance?

For you or your neighbors:

1. V.P. Phyllis Richland at UCO (683-9189) has completed the Florida DCF Access Basic Training also known as Community Partners Access Training.

The End of COPS in CV

I called COPS this morning to ask if they could provide an article for the UCO Reporter to update the village on COPS. I was informed that the CV leadership of COPS is resigning at the end of July and tomorrow’s meeting could see the end of COPS in CV!
The regular meeting is in the Clubhouse Rm B at 9:30am 7/8/10 tomorrow.
They have volunteers to drive but not to lead our group. Without proper organization the Sheriff will take back our car (we only have one). We need more COPS to check on the ‘golf course’, this would be a particularly bad time to lose COPS.
Sorry I do not know more. Is there oversight or liaison at UCO? Has this issue been raised at a Delegate Meeting or other UCO meetings?

Evelyn Lebowitz supervises many COPS groups in Cypress Lakes, Golden Lakes, Bella Terra, etc, etc.
You would be most welcome at the meeting tomorrow.

The Future of News on the Web

I have heard that an upstate newspaper was going to charge for Internet access soon if not now. Meanwhile, Newsday in Long Island already charges for web access to stories and features. I can read and link to Palm Beach Post online stories like this one, but the site doesn't have even its own native columnists (it does link to Jose Lambiet's "Page 2 Live," which is an expanded version of his local gossip column). If this is the future of "Pay Per News," then newspaper websites should have a two-tier system: free for regular news stories, then bring out the velvet rope and the guy with the hand out for rich material (columns, sports coverage, celebrity news, feature articles, the funnies).

C O P S

On several occasions, my attention has been drawn during mid to later afternoon hrs.,
while returning home, along Haverhill Road, from Okeechobee Blvd., to the East Gate
Entrance, of the village, of one of the above cars, exiting the Babie's R Us, shopping center, failing to use signals, both on Haverhill, and entering the Village,
driving in the center of both lanes, after passing the resident's entrance, gradually
easing over to the right lane ( 4 corner stop ) finally using the signals, indicating
a R turn, without a full stop ( slowing down ) and continuing along the East Drive
onto the North Drive.. It has always been my impression these Volunteers, were
there to set an example, as well as assist if needed....If they cannot implement
the basic road rules, as second nature, they should be "retired"

Free Fishing

Shoreline Anglers Fish for Free!
Florida residents are now eligible for a free shoreline fishing license beginning July 1, when purchased at a service center. S horeline fishing license s for Florida residents to catch saltwater fish from the shore or a structure affixed to the shore (e.g. dock or pier) cost $9 .00 last year . The Florida Legislature repealed the shoreline fishing license fee during this past Legislation Session. Read more>
