MARCH 2016 | UCO REPORTER | PAGE B3

Its George Washingtons birthday and we cannottell a lie! We won the Lottery last month!

Giddy with the thrill of a $40 windfall, weignored our financial advisors advice to Save andinvest prudently. Instead, we made reservationsto sail on the Blue Horizon Casino Cruise in thehope that we could parlay our fortune into aneven bigger fortune.

So, on a sparkling clear Sunday morning wemade the short drive to the Port of Palm Beach.Spotting a handicap parking space, Dominiquequickly pulled into it only to be told by anattendant that although we self-parked, we had topay the $7 valet fee! Inside the ship terminal, wefound long lines of people waiting to get boarding

passes and no separate line for guests like us whohad pre-paid reservations. It took almost an hourto present valid identification, receive boardingpasses, and go through airport type security beforeboarding the ship. Each first-time guest whojoins the Players Club is given a $20 free slot playcard which means the days voyage costs nothing!Those cards are given out at Guest Services onDeck 1.

Our boarding pass entitled us to a buffet lunchin Rebeccas Gril le. Water, domestic beer, housewine by the glass, and well drinks are also freewhile gaming as are hot coffee, tea and soda.However, there were only a few cocktail waitressesin the casino areas so getting a free beverage was

not easy!I was told by two crew members that the 160

long Blue Horizon is the first SWATH vessel everconstructed in the U.S. for gaming and featuresthe latest in marine technology to ensure thatpassengers have an extremely comfortable ride.She can carry 600 guests and is registered in theU.S. As non-smokers, we were pleased to learn thatthe casino is a non-smoking area. However, thereis a designated outdoor smoking area on Deck 3.

The ship sailed promptly at noon and sinceno gambling was allowed until we reachedinternational waters (3 miles out), we usedthis quiet time to explore the ship. The ship iscompact and all the decks were accessible by stairs

and by a small elevator. This is a definite plus forguests who may have mobility problems or whouse walkers/canes. Restrooms were located onall decks.

Rebeccas Grill, the ships main dining venue,is located on Deck 1 as are the gaming tables. Wecounted 10 blackjack tables, 4 roulette tables,3 craps tables, and various poker tables. Slotmachines are located on Decks 1 and 2. There aremore than 250 slot machines in denominationsthat range from 1 cent to $5.

Deck 3 is the entertainment deck. Our cruisefeatured a country-western singer/guitarist butreturning gamblers told us that onboard musicranges from a calypso-style steel drummer to

jazz to rock and roll . Dianes Bar offers a limitedbar menu and is the area where bingo is usuallyplayed during the return trip to Palm Beach. Alsolocated on Deck 3 is a small outside patio areawhere guests can enjoy the sea breeze, sip a frozencocktail, and marvel at the mega-yachts sailingby. Unfortunately, there are only 6 tables and 25chairs in this area so if you want to sit in the sun, Isuggest you grab a chair early in the day.

At about 1 p.m. we were ready for lunch. Thosewho remember dining on the old Palm BeachPrincess will be underwhelmed and disappointedby the Blue Horizon dining room. It reminded usof a dingy, high school cafeteria with long linesof hungry people waiting to be served miniscule

portions of unappetizing, non-descript food onplastic plates. Although the company websitedescribes the buffet as offering internationalfood inspired by the season including tantalizingentrees and delectable desserts, we were offereda few chunks of barbecued chicken, grey tilapia,string beans, bacon, rice, pre-made wilted gardensalad, and a few cookies. The soft ice creammachine was out of order.

Rather than allow the disappointing meal tospoil our day, we remembered that we were noton the ship for a culinary experience but rather tomake money!

Leaving the dining area, Dominique headed forthe slots on Deck 2 while I decided to find a hot

machine on Deck 1. Many of the men on boardwere already crowded around the poker tablesso I was able to move between lots of colorful,flashing machines -- Wheel of fortune, Quick HitPlatinum, Golden Peach, Sparkling Royal, andmy favorite, Silver Jubilee. It wasnt long before my$20 players card showed $47. I cashed out andfound Dominique who was experiencing her ownwinning streak . She was ahead $31.

At 5 p.m. we disembarked. Self-parking,although expensive, turned out to be a blessing indisguise. We did not have to wait to retrieve ourcar through valet services so we were the secondcar out of the parking lot and home by 5:30 p.m.

Dominique was happy. I was happy. The seas

had been calm and the sun shone all day. OurBloody Marys and wine spritzers were free. Wegambled all day using only the money posted toour Players Cards so we got home with extradollars in our pockets.

I can still take my financial advisors advice toinvest my Lottery winnings. All in al l a good day!

TATIANA AND DOMINIQUEARE ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

WE WON THE LOTTERY!

Were on the move again! Life is great in Century Village. Six days a week, we are content to gossip at the pool, playcards in the clubhouse, shop at the malls, and eat in local restaurants. However, one day a week, we are determinedto venture beyond Zip Code 33417. Just as we did before retirement, we want to spread our wings and expand our

minds -- not just our waistlines. We have decided not to allow limited finances, aches and pains, or the fluctuatingprice of gasoline keep us tied to West Palm Beach.

SafetyBy George Franklin

Hi folks. I hopeeveryone had aHappy Valentine'sDay. Saint Patrick'sDay is the nextholiday, whichbrings up anothersafety issue:

drinking and driving.Now we all know we should NOT

drink and drive. The countlessnumber of accidents and deathscaused by drinking and driving ishorrendous each year. If you are goingto celebrate the holiday and have a"taste," not only on Saint Patrick'sday, but for that matter on ANY

holiday, please have a designateddriver chosen or plan on using a taxicab. DO NOT DRIVE!

The fines and penalties fordrinking and driving are enormous.As some notorious cases in the news

SafetyBy George Franklin

Hi folks! Well, we did it. OnJanuary 15th, Century Village

residents filled meeting room C atthe clubhouse to standing roomonly. The stormy weather didn't keepanyone away from the UCO/WPRFsponsored Active Shooter ResponseSeminar. The seminar was attendedby UCO/WPRF officers and themembers of the Palm Beach CountySheriff's Office.

The instructors were two first classSpecial Agents from the DEA withalmost 50 years of law enforcementexperience between them. A numberof videos were shown and residentswere instructed on what to do should

an emergency situation happen in theVillage. Many questions were askedand then answered by the agents. Wehope that no one ever has to use thisinformation.

To those of you that were unableto attend, we hope to do this againin the coming year and I hope thatyou will attend this most importantevent. I would like to thank theAgent Instructors and Capt. WilliamBruckner of the Palm Beach CountySheriff's Office, District Three, forall their help with this program. AndI would like to also thank WPRF

personnel for their assistance withthe electrical set ups. Most of all Iwant to thank all of the residentsthat braved the stormy weather toattend. Be safe, secure and vigilantout there!

MaintenanceBy Dom GuarnagiaA LITTLE KNOWN ANDUNDER-UTILIZED TOOL

When anindividual or

a s s o c i a t i o nis seekingl i c e n s e d /i n s u r e dcontractors toperform work

that is code compliant, warranted,and uses the materials described ina written agreement/contract, hereis one place to turn to. Behind thereception desk at the UCO office isa looseleaf notebook that, granted,needs updating, but has informationon painters, door and windowinstallers, concrete contractors,

electrical contractors, plumbingcontractors and more.Every day contractors enter the

Village to perform tasks for usall. Residents unfamiliar with thework of different contractors canrequest and scrutinize reports in thenotebook that have been made ontheir work. The reports cover suchthings as reliability, punctuality,workmanlike conduct, adherenceto the contract, correct materialsupplied with equal quality or nosubstitutions, completion withinthe prescribed time frame, customersatisfaction, etc.

My hope is that before you selecta contractor, you will consult thislog; then after your work has beendone, complete one of the single-pagereport forms yourself. Your remarkscan help inform future residentsneeding similar work performed. Aneducated consumer can make a wiserchoice.

media have shown, penalties canalso include years of jail time! To myknowledge here in Century Village,I don't recall any DWI--but I couldbe wrong. Who wants to go throughthe process of being arrested, bookedinto jail, embarrassed, having to hirea lawyer, having to appear in court,and having his or her life ruined overa beer? The worst scenario is losing aloved one or good friend to a drunkdriver. I can tell you, I lost a friend toa drunk driver and it hurt badly! Younever forget. DON'T DRINK andDRIVE!

On another subject - how manyof you have had your cars winterizedand checked for the season? Youmay feel because the weather herein Florida is mild that this is notnecessary. However, have all yourfluids been checked and topped off?Windshield wipers checked and not

smearing? When was the last timeyour tires were rotated? Oil changedone? Is your car idling rough? Howabout a tune up? You should be ontop of these items no matter whatthe season. Car dealers offer manysafety packages. Check with yourdealer for one that satisfies yourneeds. Until next time, be safe andsecure out there!

Waste Pro,our sanitation contractor, has requestedthat all service requests from Century Village be

routed through UCO for processing.

The reason for this request is to provide faster

service by reducing multiple requests for the same

job.

Waiting times for service can vary, due to contractor

workload, availability of material and delivery

schedules. All service requests received by UCOare emailed to a Waste Pro service coordinator

There are two predominantly fish

restaurants one near and one a little

further away - that I have enjoyed

recently. One is a bargain and one a

little more expensive but both worth

trying.

Nicoles Seafood Restaurant- In

business in the Fountain Gate Plaza

on Jog Road in Greenacres for over

seven years, it is where all dinnersare two for $32 cash and two for

$34 credit. With a $2 off coupon,

its even less for a complete dinner;

soup or salad, entre, 2 sides, dessert

and beverage. They serve you hot,

homemade bread to start with and

a different soup every night. Their

mushroom and barley is delicious.

There are more than 32 fish or

seafood dishes that will meet and

please any tastes from the basics to

the little unusual, from baked scrod

to stuffed sole filet with shrimp and

scallops. Each entre is large enoughto take home for another meal.

Finish off with cake or ice cream and

a cup of coffee and you will leave both

full and with a smile on your face.

Closer to home, west of Century

Village on Okeechobee Blvd, is

Bimini Twist, a more upscale

restaurant. It was established in

2002 and specializes in the freshest

seafood from around the world. They

are always true to their word fresh

never frozen. Their all-encompassing

drink menu is the perfect place

to start, serving only name-brand

liquors, over two dozen specialtydrinks, more than 40 various wines,

and now featuring a new draught beer

selection. They have been consistently

rated in the top ten restaurants in all

of South Florida by OpenTable.com.

Everything is ala carte but their

entrees are served with hot garlic

bread, salad and one side, and range

in price from Shrimp Scampi over

Linguine at $24.95 to Yellowtail

Snapper topped with Jumbo Lump

Crab and Bearnaise Sauce at $32.95.

They also have a more varied menu

with beef and chicken dishes. Theiryummy desserts can be paired with a

specialty cappuccino. Whether it is

a special occasion or a night of fine

dining, you will like it.

FISH EATING

NOT TROLLINGB Y L E N O R E V E L C O F F

The Cerabino FilesB Y L A N N Y H O W E

Not Quite, FrankB Y I R V R I K O N

LOCAL DINING COMMENTARY

I thought the Cerabino article washilarious. Sometimes you need tostep back and take a look at thingsfrom the perspective of an outsider.Condo living is a pretty funny thingto begin with, and Cerabino haswritten a book about it. I'm going tosend my brother and a friend of mine,both of whom live on Cape Cod, acopy of the article.

I don't think Frank was"disrespectful" of the Village asEsther Sutofsky maintains. He wasjust enjoying a good laugh andsharing it. I laugh along with him. It'shealthy to laugh at yourself.

I do think he sided far more withDave Israel and his administration

than with the malcontents, but thatis just my own opinion. If you read hiscolumn careful ly, you'll see it is almostall quotesif not exact quotes (withquote marks), then "almost quotes"(without the marks). The tellingthing to me was that the quotes fromthe malcontents were essentially adisplay of their vulgarities and grosslyexaggerated charges, while the quotesfrom Dave & Company were mostlytheir claimed accomplishments.

Cerabino certainly makes a pointof how extreme some of the mal

stuff has been: "For a daily doseof political vitriol, Villagers can goonline to My Village Blogger, whichbills itself [my emphasis] 'The Voiceof the Malcontents.'"

Plus, "A dictator who has restedcontrol of the pool and clubhouse?It's like reading dispatches fromAleppo [an ancient Arab warringstate], not Okeechobee Boulevard."Cerabino (purposely, I'm sure, withno "sic") retains the malcontentmisspelling of "wrest" in this clearlysatirical remark.

And the kicker: "Underhandeddepravity? Seriously? Yes, they'reheavy on the mustard here." I waslaughing so hard I had tears in my

eyes at this one.Yes, perhaps he was a mite short on

respect. Of the malcontents.I could go on, but I think the

point has been made. The Village hasbeen subjected to what everyone inSoutheast Florida fears, the Cerabinofires. We have emerged a littlescorched, but so what? Hopefully wecan enjoy a good laugh about it andperhaps not take ourselves quite soseriously. And stop the ridiculoushyperbole.

Frank Cerabino's column inWednesday's Palm Beach Post onCentury Village was not quite frank,but I'm glad to see that Palm BeachPost's columnists read CenturyVillage newspapers even as Villagers'read The Post.

First, Mr. Cerabino refers to "agroup of retirees clawing at eachother over that last hurrah." What dothose final two words mean? Maybethat Century Villagers are elderly?

Come on, Frank! You're old enoughto live in Century Village yourself.Perhaps that's why you've visitedCentury Village previously, enjoyingthe hospitality of residents andpartaking of Clubhouse celebrationsand pleasures.

You describe Century Village asa "sprawling condo community."Century Village does not sprawl. WestPalm Beach sprawls. Los Angelessprawls. Century Village is a pleasantcompact residential community withattractive lawns, swimming pools, alake, recreation centers, a clubhousehousing a large theater and active

classrooms. It lies close to downtownWest Palm Beach, The Kravis Center,Cityplace, Clematis Street, PalmBeach, the Outlet Mall, the FloridaTurnpike, I-95 and the airport. Inpast years, its residents included theparents of a top Presidential aideplus other key Washington officialsand columnists and professors inprominent universities. Nowadaysits population is more diverse.Indeed, today it's rather a microcosmof the United States itself.

And yes, it has several newspapers.Don't you find it odd that WestPalm Beach has only one newspaperwhile Century Village has more than

one? Diversity is the very essenceof true democracy! In a vibrant,politically active community suchas Century Village differences ofopinion sometimes arise. But yourreportage lacks balance. You quotesomeone who equates United CivicOrganization President David Israelto Hitler. Offensive and inaccurateas that is, it's also dated. If yourcontact chooses to say the presidentis a dictator, why not name VladimirPutin or the leaders of ISIS? Butinvoking the name of a long-deadperson does serve to show how "outof touch" the president's critics are,wherein lies part of the disagreementwithin the community.

David Israel's working professionallife dealt mainly with the complexfield of national secur ity. He is fluentin various areas of technology and iswise enough and humble enough tocall in experts on matters relativelyunfamiliar to him. His opponentsin the forthcoming Century Villageelection criticize but hold backfrom joining modern technological

advances in this "Information Age"when terrorism (and lack of commoncourtesy) is a concern to us all.

As for me, I wr ite columns for theUCO Reporter, Century Village'smain newspaper, but over a spanof several decades, I have writtencolumns for the Palm Beach Post aswell as Letters to the Editor. This is arelationship I hope to continue. Afterall, as the saying goes, "We're all inthis together."

Editors Note: This opinion piece wasoriginally submitted to the Palm Beach

Post as a Letter to Editor.

PAGE B10 | UCO REPORTER | MAR CH 2016

This year commemorates the400th anniversary of the death ofWilliam Shakespeare. To mark theoccasion, the Patricia And Phillip Frost

Art Museum located in the Florida

International University campusin Miami, is hosting a touringexhibition organized by the FolgerShakespeare Library in Washington,D. C. Entitled First Folio! TheBook That Gave Us Shakespeare!the Miami exhibition runs throughFebruary 28, 2016. Folger, it shouldbe noted, holds the largest collectionof First Folios in the world.

Shakespeare is generally regardedas the greatest writer in the Englishlanguage. Born on April 23, 1564,in Stratford-upon-Avon, England,he was an actor and poet as well as

a playwright. His works include38 plays, 154 sonnets and two longnarrative poems. The First Foliois a first edition of his collectedworks. It features 36 plays and waspublished in 1623, seven years afterShakespeare's death. 750 copieswere printed of which only 233 arenow known to exist. Eighteen of thefolio's plays had not been publishedprior to his demise in 1616. Some ofthose include Antony and Cleopatra,Julius Caesar, The Tempest, TwelfthNight and As You Like It.

No two copies of the First Folio,

which was proofread as it was printed,are the same. Printing pressesstopped routinely as corrections in

the plays were made. Various ownersbound and rebound their personalcopies differently. Pages in somefolios were trimmed, so that sizes arenot identical. The Folio was written

in "old English," not quite the still-evolving English of today. Thusowners added handwritten notesand drawings, rendering each copyvirtually unique. In 2006 one mintcondition First Folio was auctionedin London, where it sold for $5.2million.

FIU will be the only place inFlorida to hold this distinctiveexhibition. Admission to ThePatricia and Phillip Frost ArtMuseum is free. Tuesday throughSaturday it is opened 10:00AM to5:00PM. Sunday hours are 12:00PM

to 5:00PM. Monday the Museum isclosed. There are additional eventsand programs scheduled with theexhibition, including a ClosingFestival on February 28. For furtherinformation, a web site is available:https://folio.fiu.edu/events.html.

The complete address is as follows:Florida International UniversityPatricia and Phillip Frost Art

Museum10975 S.W. 17th StreetMiami, Fl. 33199Shakespeare isn't just Shakespeare

anymore. Playwrights are foreveradapting the Bard's works for themodern stage. West Side Story,

one of America's greatest dramaticmusicals, with music by LeonardBernstein, lyrics by StephenSondheim and book by ArthurLaurents, set in New York City, is an

adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeoand Juliet.

For the merry side of Shakespeare,head to Jupiter, where the MALTZJUPIT ER THEATRE will produceKiss Me, Kate! March 8 - 27. One ofAmerica's funniest musicals, withmusic by Cole Porter and book by Samand Bella Spewack, it's a play withina play. The two leads of a theatrica lcompany, formerly husband andwife, are performing Shakespeare'sTaming of the Shrew. Offstage theybehave much as the characters theyportray onstage which, for viewers,

means hilariously. At one point,gangsters threaten the husband.When he tells them he's producing aShakespeare play, that gives them anexcuse to sing and dance. While themelody is one you'll leave the theaterhumming,

here are the words Cole Porteruses to describe his feelings aboutthe Bard:

Brush up your Shakespeare.

Start quoting him now.

Brush up your Shakespeare,

And the women you will wow. Just declaim a few lines from

"Othella"

And they'll think you're a helluvafella.

If your blonde won't respond when

you flatter 'er, Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer.

If she fights when her clothes youare mussing,

What are clothes? "Much AdoAbout Nussing."

Brush up your Shakespeare

And they'll all kowtow.

Then go to the St. James Theatre

on 44th Street in New York Cityto see Something Rotten, anuproarious musical comedy aboutShakespeare himself and two of hiscontemporaries, brothers who arealso playwrights. They hate him.During the course of the show,Shakespeare acts, becomes a songand dance man, and writes Hamlet.Meanwhile, the older brother, withadvice from a soothsayer related toNostradamus who likewise peersinto the future, writes the world'svery first musical. Rarely have Ilaughed so hard and loud as I didwatching this show. Sometimes Imissed lines in the play because thewhole audience was howling withlaughter.

Yes, Shakespeare lives!

D e a rResidents,

In myF e b r u a r yarticle I wroteabout WPRFID cards andthat, whenasked, said IDcard MUST bepresented asproof that youhave the right

to be on recreational property. I amdismayed that so many are refusingto show their ID cards when asked,saying they felt they were beingtargeted.

What I am targeting are the localsthat come in on a regular basis,without a guest pass, and STEALwhat you are paying to use, maintainand replace. Additionally, there areapproximately 14,000 residents fromJanuary to March with thousandsaccessing the recreational facilities.Spot checking IDs sends a clearmessage that WPRF is watching andprotecting what you are paying for.

Please do not verbally assault theSecurity Guards as they do not makethe policies, WPRF does. Securityis just being asked to enforce them.If you have something to say on thematter please call or come to see mein my office which is located upstairsby the library. I am always willing tolisten and discuss any matter thatconcerns the residents.

Ive been receiving reports thatin the early morning hours someresidents have come across peopleswimming in the nude. Whether it is

skinny dipping or ritualistic bathingit is classified as Indecent Exposureand is considered a crime. The lastthing I would want to do is bring inthe local authorities, but I will beleft with no choice if this does notstop. As an added incentive I will belooking into installing cameras sothat our Security Officers can helpmonitor this issue while allowing meto provide video to the Palm BeachSheriffs Office.

Now onto the subject of theIndoor Pool mural.it is completeand fabulous and, from all reports,is a huge hit. The tropical rain foresttheme adds an incredible WOWfactor to the area. If you have notseen it, please stop by.it is a truework of art! Another project that iswrapping up is the installat ion of newPetanque courts located next to theShuffleboard courts. The new spacedoubles the amount of space for playand will be enjoyed by many. Newlandscaping will be added over thesummer months to bring additionalbeauty to the Petanque area as well asto the Guest Pool.

Lastly, I would like to touch onour theater attendance which seemsto be up this year. While this isgood news, the down side is our lackof parking. Please, please, pleaseconsider carpooling or taking thebus, thereby reducing the numberof cars circling for a parking space.I have grave concern that a vehiclewill hit a pedestrian; and thoughSecurity does an incredible job ofkeeping everyone safe I continue tohave nightmares that it could stillhappen.

Im an animal lover. I support

the Palm Beach Zoo and

visit it regularly. I take

out-of-town guests to

McCarthys Wildlife

Sanctuary to learn

about endangered

species from the

owner, a big cat

expert. If I catch a

gecko in my condo,

I return it to the great

outdoors. And, I dream

about taking photos

while on a safari in Kenya

and Botswana. Since that

isnt going to happen in

the foreseeable future, mysister and I made a return

visit to Lion Country

Safari in Loxahatchee last

week in the hopes of seeing

some unusual animals and birds

close to home.

Company literature says that as

the nations first cageless zoo, Lion

Country Safari has been a leader in

the conservation movement since

1967. It is actively involved in Species

Survival Programs and participates in

the ChimpanZoo Observer program.

As a licensed rehabilitation facility, it

o f f e r s

care before

r e t u r n i n g

animals to the wild.

Located 10 miles west of the

Florida Turnpike on Southern

Blvd., the complex includes both a

drive-through safari park and an

amusement park. Admission prices

vary and discount passes are often

found online and in newspapers.

Upon entering the drive-

through safari, you are lent

an explanatory CD to

install in your car

radio and a field

guide describing

the animals in the

preserve. You are

instructed to keep

the windows and

doors of your vehicle

closed and locked at all

times and do not leave

the vehicle for any reason.Although a brochure

states that you may drive

through this section of the

park as often as you like at

no additional cost, we were

denied that option.

The drive-through safari

park is divided into 6 different

sections. Las Palmas, the grassland

area of South America, is where

we spotted ostriches, pelicans, and

llamas. Gorongosa Reserve, located

in northern Mozambique, is one of

Africas famous wildlife areas and

is where we saw horned oryx and

a pride of lions. Ruaha National

Park area, also in Africa, featured

herds of greater kudu and impala.

The Serengeti Plains, east Africas

most famous wildlife area, featured

wildebeest, waterbuck, eland, and

watusi. Gir Forest, a national park

in India, is the area where we spotted

water buffalo, nilgai and blackbucks.

Hwange National Park, located in

western Zimbabwe, is the area of

the park where we saw nyala, zebras,

chimpanzees, giraffes and a white

rhinoceros.

In fact, we found the drive-

through safari experience rather

boring. Perhaps the temperature(about 70 degrees) and the time of

day (11 a.m.) had something to do

with how inactive the animals were

-- all the lions (enclosed in a pen)

were asleep, the one rhino was too

far away to appreciate, and only two

chimpanzees were visible in their

enclosure. It is hard to differentiate

between oryx, gemsboks and impalas

while maneuvering a car and listening

to a CD. I seem to remember many

more roaming animals during my

last visit, including elephants and

herds of rhino. And, Ive seen more

WILD ANIMALS, OH MY!B Y B O B B I LE VIN

turtles and birds on the lake outside

my condo.

If you have young children

visiting, you might want to consider

a day at Lion Country Safari.

Included in your admission ticket

is entry into both the drive-through

safari and the walk-through Safari

World Amusement Park. The later

is a Disney-like complex and offers

many complimentary attractions

including water slides, a carousel,

a flying elephant ride, paddleboat

rental, miniature golf, and a safari

maze. You can pan for gems and

stones or ride on the El Paso Train.

Bring bathing suits and cool off

in Safari Splash with 23 interactive

water functions. Visitors can

interact with the lories at the Lory

Feeding Aviary, the giraffe at the

Giraffe Feeding Area, and the sheep

or goats at the Petting Zoo. Exhibit

talks are scheduled throughout the

day. Wear comfortable shoes as you

will be doing a lot of walking.

The restrooms that I used were,

unfortunately, not clean or well-

mainta ined -- dirty floors, discolored

mirrors, and there was no soap.

There are many restaurants and

gift shops throughout the park.

Bottled water is pricey so I suggest you

bring your own. I assume the pizza

is the best in the world because the

prices for a pie were exorbitant. the

fried dough covered with powdered

sugar was yummy!

While I did not have any children

with me, I did enjoy walking

through the amusement park and

seeing the looks of amazement

on toddlers faces as they got up

close and personal with small farm

animals and colorful birds. I did

get the chance to ask questions of

the attendants in both the tortoise

enclosure and the giraffe feeding

area so I, along with the five-year-

olds, learned some interesting facts.

If you are looking for an exciting,

wild animal safari experience, Lion

Country Safari may disappoint you.

However, if you have young children

to entertain, the two-park complex is

worth a visit.

The Magic Strings of Frankie

Presto is the story of a gifted

musician who was abandoned at

birth and wanders through life, fame

and fortune, and solitude along

with a guitar that has strings that

turn blue. Many voices tell the story

of Mitch Alboms latest tale. I was

not going to write it up because it is

a strange book but my friend Belle

told me how much she loved it, so

I decided to let you make your own

decision.

The narrator of the story is Music.That's right. Albom treats music

like a person and he tells the life

story of Presto, as do other people

who have given Albom permission

to use their names and to tell about

their connection with this fictional

character. The reader is taken from

Spain to England to Detroit, to New

Zealand and New Orleans, and so

many other places where Frankie

Presto plays his guitar, sings, and

has his path overlapped by famous

and legendary musical figures such

as Elvis Presley, Duke Ellington, and

Lyle Lovett.

The multiple time periods were

right up my alley and the way he

weaved real-life people into Frankies

story was imaginative. As I read along

I was very eager to see what music

icon would be introduced next. From

infancy music was Frankies savior

and served as his constant companion

throughout his life. All the while,

Frankie reels from the memories

of his grueling childhood in a civil

war-strewn Spain and his apparent

orphaning and later abandonmentin England. It takes decades for him

to come to terms with his mistakes

and his shortcomings, something

many creative types suffer.

I found that Albom did a great job

developing both the main character

in the book as well as the supporting

characters. In addition he did a good

job of setting the scenes in the book

from the burning church where

Frankie was born to the Woodstock

Music festival. This story tells

Frankie's life and the impact it had

on people close to him and to those

who were at a distance.

It was really unlike any story that

I have read to date. The narrator of

Music also reminds the

reader/listener of the

importance of music

and musicians. I don't

think you need to be

a music lover to enjoy

this book, but if you

are you will enjoy it

immensely. This book

captured me from

the first paragraphand didn't let me go

until I finished it. The

narrator of this book,

Music, describes how

we are imbued with him

from birth. He relates

the story of one of the

musicians he infused:

Frankie Presto, whose

tale starts and ends

in Villareal Spain,

where he is thoroughly

trained on the guitar. I

won't say more because

I think the beauty of this book is to

not know the plot beforehand. Most

reviewers loved it. Im not sure.

At the Sheriff s

Office, we

take bullying

very seriously.

Bullying, as

you may k now,

is a form of

a g g r e s s i v e

behavior in

which someone causes another

person injury or discomfort through

physical contact, words, or other

actions.

For many victims, bullying starts

at the elementary school level, with

subtle actions such as kids not

wanting to take turns going down

the slide or refusing to share their

toys and taking items from other

children. By high school, those

bullied can suffer from mental health

problems including depression,

headaches and anxiety, and can

contemplate suicide. Children and

adolescents who are bullies are at

increased risk for substance use,

academic problems, and violence to

others later in life.

In response, my staff has created

an award-winning anti-bullying

program at two Lake Worth

elementary schools that we envision

expanding to other schools across

Palm Beach County.

Since 2012, more than 100

children in fourth and fifth grades

have graduated from our 12-week

program in which students learn

in the classroom about bullying

behaviors and then get rewarded for

participating by playing kickball.

Many of the students are at risk,

coming from poor families where

parents are working a lot and some

family members are involved in gang

activity. The program at North Grade

Elementary School and South Grade

Elementary School teaches the youth

how to follow directions, problem

solve and use tools. They learn once

a week for one hour how to avoid

bullying and gangs and how to avoid

becoming victims of crime.

Part of the program is having my

deputies work elbow-to-elbow with

the students in building motorized

erector set cars. These experiences

teach students about the work law

enforcement does as well as themeaning of respect, working hard,

and being productive citizens.

Those completing the cars project

get certificates and a day trip to

LEGOLAND in Winter Haven, Fla.

This is a big honor for these students

because they dont get recognized

often and many have never been to

LEGOLAND or many other places

outside of our county.

Our anti-bullying initiative caught

the attention of the Anti-Defamation

League, which has partnered with us

in its No Place for Hate School. Our

program has been widely covered

by our local news and has received

commendations from Congressman

Alcee Hastings and many others in

the community. My deputies are

constantly being approached by

teachers and principals from other

schools who are interested in learning

more about our program in hopes of

starting it in their schools.

To me, this program organized

by our Lake Worth District 14

Community Policing Unit signifies

the best of what the Sheriffs Office

does in our community. We want

to prevent the terrible troubles that

bullying creates so we are addressing

the root causes of it early on just

as children start developing into

teenagers.

Consumers

a l r e a d y

face huge

c h a l l e n g e s

when it comes

to taking

on special

i n t e r e s t s

in court.

Yet under a federal law enacted

in 2005, the Protection of Lawful

Commerce in Arms Act, holdinggun manufacturers and sellers

accountable for negligent behavior

or defective products is nearly

impossible. This law was designed

to give the gun industry legal

immunities enjoyed by no other

industry in America, from

tobacco companies to automobile

manufacturers to the pharmaceutical

industry.

This law doesnt just undermine

the right of lawful gun owners and

gun violence victims to have their

day in court, it also weakens public

safety. Before the laws passage in

2005, lawsuits filed against the gun

industry helped spur manufacturers

and dealers to adopt new safety

measures and improve their business

practices.

For example, in 2000 the gun

manufacturer Smith & Wesson

agreed to improve the safety

devices on its handguns as part of a

settlement ending several lawsuits

brought against the manufacturer

for faulty mechanisms. And in 2004,

Bushmaster agreed to better its

distribution practices after a $2.5

million settlement held it liable for

knowingly supplying a negligent gun

shop with the assault weapons used

by the DC sniper to kill 17 Americans

in 2002.

The gun industry has claimed

it needs the Protection of Lawful

Commerce in Arms Act to stop

frivolous lawsuits from moving

forward. But there is nothing

frivolous about the claims brought

by families of slain police officers,of children killed in accidental

shootings, or of people murdered in

mass shootings.

Congress overstepped its authority

with this law when it stripped judges

of the discretion to decide which

cases are credible and which are

frivolous. In fact, since the laws

passage in 2005, it has kept all but

two challenges to the gun industry

from advancing in court. Its time for

this special gift to the powerful gun

lobby to go, and thats why this week

I co-introduced legislation to repeal

it. At a time when the United States

loses 32,000 lives to gun violence

every year, the Equal Access to Justice

for Victims of Gun Violen
