" THREE FRIENDS"

On behalf of my friends, Ellie, Wolf & Sonia, I am posting this notice to inform those resident's
who look forward to their performances on the last Thursday of the month, that they will be
on hiatus, until further notice.  Their auto was hit and totaled, by some careless individual,
who ran a red light, causing injuries which will require ongoing medical care.
Hopefully, they will resume " Three Friends " in the not too distant future.
For those of you who are not familiar with the above group, both Ellie & Wolf,
are "Fixtures" in the Annual Resident's Show, which we all look forward to.

Cooperative Extension to Offer Free Farm Your Backyard Workshop

Mounts, Saturday June 8

http://www.pbcgov.com/newsroom/0513/05-07-13-coo_extension_workshop.htm

Welcome from La Brasa Chicken

I tried La Brasa, one of our closest restaurants between Southampton and Hess Station, just before Haverhill on Okeechobee.  Lots of happy customers, good counter service (managed by same people as Bellantes.) “La Brasa rotisserie features a large variety of Latin cuisine, specially Peruvian food”. I do not know Peruvian food but there were many different onion condiments. Just pile my plate with the melt-in-the mouth spoonbread + all the Latin tasty specialties. For savings buy a 5-meal prepaid card. 561-331-8956

A QUESTION ON THE UNDER-55 RULE

In the recent Palm Beach Post article on their forum at which Dave Israel took part, Attorney Mark Friedman is reported to have said the following, although this was not shown as a direct quote:

 . . .  many 55-plus communities have an “80/20 rule” that allows 20 percent of the residents to be under 55. But Friedman said those rules are in place to allow the unit owner to have a spouse or roommate under 55 and not to allow an entire house or unit of under-55 residents.

My copy of the 1999 Model Documents, Exhibit to Amendment to the Declaration and By-Laws (dated January 14, 2001) for our condo association, however, says the following:

“It shall be required as of the effective date of this amendment that at least eighty (80) percent of the units must be occupied by at least ONE (1) [my emphasis] person fifty-five (55) years of age or older per unit.”

Which is right? Is a person under 55 living with a person 55 or over considered part of the allowable 20 percent, as Mr. Friedman would seem to say, or does the 20 percent include only a person in a  unit with NO ONE 55 or over in residence, as the quoted Amendment would seem to say?

It seems to me it makes a big difference. I am wondering if the report on what Mr. Friedman said was incorrect, if I don’t understand the Amendment correctly, or if the Amendment has been changed.

Parolee in CV

It has come to my attention that the person/parolee that was mentioned at the Delagate Assembly has his address listed in my building... Rest assured, he Is not in Camden B.
according to the PBSO report, he states that he lives here with a tenant. Well, that tenant was evicted months ago and most likely is back in Winsdor in her mothers condo, quite possibly with the parolee in question. I would suggest to the people of Windsor to keep an eye out for him and possibly another man that associates with this former tenant.

National Bike Registry NBR

Still time - To register your bike with the Sheriff's Dept at UCO, Today until noon and tomorrow, Saturday 9-noon. NBR registered bikes are 10x less likely to be stolen, 9x more likely to be returned.

The marking on your bike is a good deterrent.

Yeah Blog!

When all else has failed, I can still get attention by whining on the Blog :-). First repairs are underway.

I checked this with my computer guru and he assured me that NEVER, but NEVER, is your password requested.

Fountainview Spring Fling

Dinner Time

Desolate dinner time at the North Bridge, meanwhile in Sheffield lagoon "I ATE too much wildlife".

Let's put on a show

Hungarian shadow-theatre company ‘Attraction’ leaves the Britain’s Got Talent crowd and judges in tears.

Lincoln Street

UCO please tell our new maintenance/ landscape company that Lincoln Street is UCO property. Trees around the village are nicely trimmed but not on Lincoln, There have been low hanging branches and suckers on the trunks of 8 trees for about a year. Also irrigation break wasting water for at least a month, the flag is mown repeatedly.

Its time :-) "Suckers should be removed in early summer, just after the tree has completed its spring growth. Pruning them at this time will limit new growth."

Please explain who should do what tasks.

Security

Before we question the transponder system which works just fine, we should look at some basic security oversights like putting plastic tie warps on the door of the walkway leaving the Main Gate, keeping it open for people to come and go !!!

security

Hi ,  Sorry I did not post using of ID's after midnight, that was John's idea.

Security

Hi David,   Thanks to the board for remembering Boston attacks with a moment of silence.  One thing that was bought  up by John Gluszak, that I thought got little attention, was the showing of ID's rathering than using transponder.  Our guards can't be that busy at that hour and I feel would help our security.  What do you and fellow bloggers think about John's  idea?

Sounds Like some people in Century Village:-)

Use Google Person Finder to Locate Loved Ones After a Disaster

http://google.org/personfinder/global/home.html

Google saw a communication void back in 2011, following the major Turkey earthquake, after noticing that the one communication medium that appeared to remain in place during events like a bombing is the Internet.

Google Person Finder is offered as a free service for the general public, as well as emergency responders, to use following a catastrophe.

The service was activated during the recent Boston Marathon bombings, and it certainly proved itself to be valuable during that event. Cellphone service was disabled, so a service like this was critical.

There’s a lot to be said for simple services that keep family and friends connected, and offer the peace of mind in knowing that someone you care a whole lot about is still alive.  Hopefully, this will be one Google service that doesn’t disappear on us. Of course, these days, you can’t really depend on that, can you?
