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!

service by reducing multiple requests for the same
job.

workload, availability of material and delivery
schedules. All service requests received by UCOare emailed to a Waste Pro service coordinator
who is permanently assigned to Century Village.

MARCH 2016 | UCO REPORTER | PAGE B5
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.

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

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

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.

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
