The
President’s
Report
By Dave Israel
“In a democracy, people get the
leaders they deserve.”
– Joseph de Maistre
UCO decisions made today
will shape the Century Village we
experience tomorrow. It is too late
now to remind our readers that a
subtext of our coming UCO election
has been to get people to come out
and run for office. So now we must
pay close attention to how the UCO
government-to-be intends to spend
OUR money, and to ensure that
it is based on realistic, long-term
solutions, not “pie in the sky” foolish
catchphrase sloganeering.
Now is our chance to Continue
the Progress. Let us consider the
promise by one of the candidates for
UCO president: “If elected, I will hire
a city manager”— and then himself
quit! He will spend a "mere" $100K
on this boondoggle scheme! Join
us in ensuring that UCO remains
a volunteer-based community
organization; become diligent and
make sure we keep it that way. Come
out and VOTE.
Play a direct role in the important
Do not allow apathy to
keep you from voting
issues in our lives. Our volunteer
body of UCO Officers is comprised
of everyday folks from all over our
Village. We realize the local nature
of politics and target where we can
have the most impact with the fewest
resources. We do not need hired city
managers with no knowledge of our
documents and culture to spend our
dollars. As independent volunteers
we are not beholden to any group or
major donors. Your UCO volunteers
are you and I!
We in UCO strive to maintain
a socially responsible and fiscally
conservative local volunteer
operation that gives everyone the
opportunity to (a) play a more
active role in the decision-making of
their government; and (b) increase
personal commitment to the political
process. We have no need of people
who disrupt our key meetings, such
as our monthly Delegate Assemblies.
Send these candidates the message
they deserve with your VOTE!
When I have asked Villagers “Why
do you not run for office?” they often
respond: "That's great, but I've never
done anything like this before." But
wait—what about your life experience?
We in UCO are running a small city,
your city. We bring organizational
skills from decades in our careers. We
can do it all in a calm and reasonable
manner, without the disruptive
tactics exhibited by some of the
candidates.
One of our candidates publishes a
rabble -rousing “newspaper” here in
CV called the CV Messenger. A recent
edition of this publication likened
one of our nicest UCO women
officers to a Nazi concentration camp
kapo! Should a person allowing such
hateful language in his publication
be a UCO officer, handling our
money? I say NO. Only you can
prevent this from happening. Please
COME OUT AND VOTE!
It is too late now to run for
office in the March 2, 2018 election,
because it is right upon us, but there
will be another election just one year
away. Know that getting on the ballot
demonstrates your level of interest
and willingness to participate.
If reasonable and contemplative
Villagers participate, we will develop
a network of leaders in our Village
with a powerful impact for the good.
UCO volunteers come from a variety
of professions; put your skills to work
for the benefit of all.
In addition, by running for office
yourself, you engage, excite and
encourage others to join and run
themselves. You play a vital role and
gain a sense of reward for your efforts.
You expand the agenda, sway public
opinion and affect the outcome of
UCO decisions.
One of my objectives in holding
the popular small meetings with
association board members at
UCO has been to do just the above:
to empower, excite and invite the
community to participate. Develop
your skills as a leader, helping people
become active, connecting you with
other leaders and activists while
recognizing their achievements.
Do not permit the rabble rousers
into your UCO; send them a message.
The next election is a year away, but
it is not too late to get out now and
VOTE. Remember, TALK minus
ACTION equals ZERO. Continue
the progress!

LEGAL
Medical Marijuana, Airbnb and your Documents –
No Amendments Necessary
BY MARK FRIEDMAN, ESQ.

I received
multiple
inquiries this
past month
about whether governing documents
should be updated to deal with the
use of medical marijuana and Airbnb.
I do not encourage such amendments
for the following reasons.
Medical Marijuana
Despite the recent medical
cannabis laws in the State of Florida,
its use remains illegal under Federal
Law. Since the 1930s, federal law has
declared the use, sale or distribution
of marijuana illegal. Current federal
drug laws are contained in the
Controlled Substances Act which
places listed drugs on a schedule
according to their medicinal value
and potential for abuse. Marijuana is
still a Schedule 1 drug under federal
law. Drugs classified in Schedule 1
are considered the most harmful
substances with no medical benefits
(notwithstanding studies to the
contrary). Further, in in Gonzales
v. Raich (2005), the United States
Supreme Court held that Congress'
Commerce Clause authority includes
the power to prohibit the local
cultivation and use of marijuana in
compliance with state law.
The Supremacy Clause of
the United States Constitution
also establishes that the U.S.
Constitution, federal laws made
pursuant to it, and treaties made
under its authority, constitute the
supreme law of the land. Even state
constitutions are subordinate to
federal law. Therefore, the change
to the Florida constitution and
statutes do not supersede federal
law on this issue. In fact, one of the
first things you notice when you go
to the medical marijuana website
posted by the State of Florida at
floridahealth.gov is the following
message in conspicuous types:
“Medical marijuana is available in
Florida, however, remains illegal
under federal law.”
It should be noted that Florida law
does not permit smoking medical
marijuana, (which is currently being
challenged in the courts). Therefore,
if using medical marijuana is a
federal crime, and those using it
for medical purposes under Florida
law are not permitted to smoke it,
thereby creating a potential nuisance
to other owners, at this time there is
no necessity to deal with it in your
governing documents.
Airbnb
In the recent case, Santa
Monica Beach Property Owners
Association v. Acord (a Florida case,
notwithstanding the name of the
property), the association attempted
to prohibit use of VRBO rentals
(a similar online booking site, like
Airbnb) based on the unit being used
for “business purposes”. The court
held that the critical inquiry is not
the duration of the tenancy, but the
character of the actual use of the
property by those residing thereon.
Those staying in the units were using
the property for residential and
not business purposes. However, in
this case the Declaration was silent
regarding short-term rentals. Most
of the associations in Century Village
have some restriction on rentals,
such as “no less than 30 days”, “once
in a lifetime”, a requirement that
the Board approve tenants, or other
similar provision. Therefore, this
issue should be handled by enforcing
existing leasing restrictions, not
creating new ones. While not
absolutely necessary, if you are
already amending the documents
you could include a one sentence
specific prohibition on advertising
rentals on these online platforms in
a manner contrary to the provision
of the governing documents.

Cyber Threat Predictions for 2018
Cyber security companies are
publishing their predictions for
threat trends in 2018. Here’s a quick
summary of a few of them with links
to the full reports:
Trend Micro: Digital extortion
through ransomware attacks will
continue. Cyber criminals will
take advantage of old and new
techniques to go directly for the
money from ransomware victims.
Companies subject to the EU’s
General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) are especially vulnerable
to large-scale ransomware attacks.
Internet of Things (IoT) attacks
will be more numerous and used
for purposes other than Distributed
Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
Delivery drones can be hijacked;
medical devices and wearables can
be hacked; and IoT devices can be
used to mask the identity of clever
cybercriminals. Business E-mail
Compromises (BEC) through spear
phishing and other techniques will
continue to plague U.S. businesses
to the tune of over $9 billion. Social
media will see more fake news
and cyber propaganda instigated
and promulgated by botnets.
Countries with general elections
in 2018 will be especially targeted.
Machine learning and blockchain
technologies, while promising in
terms of cyber defense and financial
transactions, are new vectors for
hackers and cybercriminals to
exploit. And enterprises are especially
at risk given newly discovered
vulnerabilities in operating systems
and enterprise-wide planning and
analysis capabilities. Increased

connectivity will lead to more
complex cybersecurity challenges.
Trend Micro 2018 Predictions
S e c u r i t y I n f oWa t c h . c o m :
Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerabilities
will be exploited as billions of new
devices come on line, leading to
possible government regulation
of IoT products. Ransomware will
increase and become emboldened by
cyber insurance; hackers will hold
companies hostage for the upper
limit of their insurance policies.
Ransomware will be increasingly
targeted at big retailers, who would
rather pay ransom than risk the
loss of public confidence. Mobile
apps will be increasingly targeted as
hackers understand that leaky apps
provide a path to sensitive personal
and corporate data. Corporate
phishing attacks and tax scams will
increase. Migration to the cloud and
new restrictions on data protection
imposed by the EU’s GDPR provide
new opportunities for professional
hackers and cybercriminals.
SecurityInfoWatch.com Predictions
FireEye/Mandiant: Increased
nation-state activity from China,
Iran, and Russia, not only for
cybercrime but also to infect
global supply chains. More cyber
espionage from China against
law firms, entertainment, and the
healthcare industry. Increased
hacker access to enterprises via
phishing attacks against employees.
As more companies migrate data
to the cloud, hackers will find ways
to compromise cloud security,
including obtaining cloud security
credentials from oblivious employees.
The entertainment industry may
be increasingly targeted. Advanced
threat actors (e.g. nation-states)
will increasingly target upstream
software development activities to
infect the supply chain of trusted
software. More data protection
laws including data localization as
already seen in China and Russia.
Multi-vector phishing attacks with
capabilities to evade detection
technologies. Use of “https.” domains
for phishing attacks. Auto-spreading
malware based on stolen credentials,
and malware that misuses operating
systems. Fireeye.com Predictions
CSOonline.com: U.S. companies
not prepared to implement the EU’s
General Data Protection Regulation;
the EU will likely make an example
of one or more companies to send
a strong message on the need for
compliance. The Equifax breach
and other 2017 attacks mean that
password-only authentication
will be replaced by multi-factor
authentication to include biometrics.
State-sponsored attacks, especially
from North Korea and Russia,
will keep testing the ability and
willingness of Western nations to
respond. Expect more IoT botnet
attacks. Machine learning will help
defenders identify and respond more
quickly to many types of attack.
The lack of trust—in government,
companies, and services—will
continue to be a problem. CSOonline.

Forbes: More attacks on the
U.S. Government and critical

infrastructure as hackers show
their growing capabilities; some of
these attacks may come from North
Korea or Russia. More fake news,
accompanied by new techniques
to verify the reputation of online
senders/authors. New attacks will
take advantage of the vast amounts of
personally identifiable information
(PII) lost in the major data breaches
over the past several years. Improved
data protection as companies begin
to deal with increased cybercriminal
capabilities to use stolen data for
profit. More IoT attacks against all
types of devices. The cybersecurity
“arms race” between defenders
and hackers will increase with the
increased use of machine learning
and artificial intelligence. Cyber
threat detections will become more
automated. Bitcoin and other
digital currencies will increasingly
be targeted by cybercriminals and
used for ransomware payments.
More breaches of digital currency
will lead to regulations by banks and
governments. Biometrics and multi-
factor authentication will grow in
use and importance. Enterprise
cybersecurity will grow to meet
industry demands for security
in the cloud. Small and medium
businesses will become more vigilant
about cybersecurity. Companies will
become more active in protecting
the software development cycle to
combat the increase in upstream
malware insertion that affects the
software supply chain. The talent
gap in cybersecurity skills will only
widen in 2018. Forbes Predictions

'Tis the season to see our Well known for their

cold weather -- looking for
warm weather -- friends,
the manatees. The Florida
manatee, Florida’s state
marine mammal, is a
large aquatic relative of
the elephant, not a walrus
as many believe. They are
large marine mammals
with egg-shaped heads and
are grayish brown in color
with thick, wrinkled skin
on which there is often a
growth of algae. Their front
flippers help them steer, or
sometimes crawl, through
shallow water. They also
have powerful, flat tails that
help propel them through
the water. Despite their
small eyes and lack of outer
ears, manatees are thought to see and
hear quite well. Like other grazing
animals, Florida manatees play an
important role in influencing the
plant growth in the shallow rivers,
bays, estuaries, canals and coastal
waters they call home.
Did You Know?
Diet:
Manatees only have molars, which
are used to grind food. As they
wear down and fall out, they are
replaced with new teeth. Manatees
are herbivores, with a diet consisting
mostly of sea grasses and freshwater
vegetation. As mentioned before,
algae will grow on its skin.
BY
Population:
Although there is no precise
census of Florida manatees,
today’s population is estimated at
approximately 6,000 individuals.
Numbers vary because they are very
difficult and expensive to count.
Range & Habitat:
Manatees can be found in the
warm waters of shallow rivers,
bays, estuaries and coastal waters.
Rarely do individuals venture into
waters below 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Manatees take up residence primarily
in Florida’s coastal waters during
winter. Some individuals migrate
as far north as the Carolinas or as
gentle, slow-moving nature,
Our Florida manatees have also been
known to body surf or barrel
roll when playing. They
normally rest and feed often.
Manatees Manatees communicate by
squealing under water to
demonstrate fear, stress or
excitement.

IN LIKE A LION
That's March

BY RUTH BERNHARD -DREISS

March is the Happy New Year to
the ancient Romans. It's the best
month for basketball, but worst for
productivity.
In March, American companies
lose a billion plus dollars in wages
paid to unproductive workers
spending company time on betting
pool priorities. How to recoup these
costs? Go into gambling. March
Madness, as the NBA calls it, when
the safest bet you can make is
that lots and lots of people will be
distracted.
According to the American
Gaming Association, fans wagered
more than $2 billion on March
Madness brackets for a tournament
in 2015. Each one of those 70-or-so
brackets has a one in 9.2 quintillion
(that's 9 followed by 18 zeros) chance
of predicting the correct winners of
every game. Good luck!
March gives us Daylight Savings
Time. It begins freeing American city-
dwellers from the constant refrain of
"it's dark before I even leave for work."
St. Patrick's Day, the start of Spring,
and sometimes Palm Sunday arrive
in March. In the northern half of the
world, Spring begins in March when
the sun is directly over the equator
and animals end hibernation and
begin to wake up.
In Roman tradition, the Pentagon
still seems to agree, with the exception
of the War on Afghanistan, almost
all major US-NATO led military
operations, since the invasion of
Vietnam, have begun in the month
of March. To name a few: Vietnam
initiated March 8, 1965; Iraq March
20, 2003 and Libya March 19, 2011,
all have followed the trend. March
was actually named for the Roman
God of War or Mars, a mythical
ancestor of the Roman people via
his wolf-suckling sons, Romulus and
Remus.
American Red Cross Month comes
in March. Women's History Month
and Fire Prevention Month are in
March. Purim is a Jewish festival held
on the day corresponding to the 14th
of Adar on the Hebrew calendar. This
year it ends on March 1.
The birthstone for March is
aquamarine; its signs are Aries and
Pisces; its flower is the daffodil.
March in other languages:
Chinese (Mandarin) - sanyue
Danish - marts
French - mars
Italian - marzo
Latin - martius
Spanish - marzo
Each year March and June end
on the same day of the week. (Now
you're looking that up, aren't you?)
Very few famous people were born
in March. In the last 20 years, only
singers Justin Bieber (known to the
young crowd) was born on March
1 and Lady Gaga on March 28.
However, my best friend (my BFF)
was born on March 3 and she's a
famous and important person to me.
We recall sayings like, "When
March comes in like a lion, it goes
out like a lamb."
“March winds and April showers
bring forth May flowers.”
March 15 is the Ides of March on
the Roman calendar. This meant it
was the day on which the month was
divided into two equal parts. Julius
Caesar was murdered on this date in
44 BC.
On March 29, Coca Cola was
introduced in 1886 and on March 31,
the Eiffel Tower in Paris was officially
opened in 1889.
And finally, and most recently,
a natural disaster, the Japan
Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011
occurred in March. As of February,
2017, there were still about 150,000
evacuees who lost their homes; 50,000
of them still living in temporary
housing.

WPRF NEWS
D e a r
Residents,
This season,
what has been
brought into
sharp focus is
the appalling and
careless way in which some residents
navigate the parking lot with their
vehicles. I see them cutting through
the parking spaces instead of going
around. This is a dangerous habit
and can lead to a car accident or,
heaven forbid, striking a pedestrian.
Whichever the case, it is the driver
cutting through that will be charged
by the Police. When in the vehicle
it can’t take more than an extra 20
seconds to go down to the end and
circle around. I DO NOT understand
the rush and why anyone would take
the chance of causing an accident.
This is simple laziness on the driver’s
part.
Since common sense does not
prevail and there are so many of you
that are doing this, the only way I
can put a stop to it is by putting the
parking bumpers back. That will
stop the practice of cutting through,
and I hope, help people position their
cars in the parking space properly as
that has become a big issue as well.
I will remind you all again…please
BY E VA R ACHESK Y
check the position of your car within
the line and make sure you are pulled
far enough in and are not taking up
two parking spaces. Please park
with your nose in the parking space.
DO NOT pull through and have
your nose pointing out as you are
now angled against the directional
arrows.
Another issue is that of cars
leaving the island by going out “the
in” or against the arrows. Everyone
knows that to properly exit the island,
one must go around the center grassy
area and then out. Knowing this was
a problem, I had cameras installed
to help me get a handle on this very
dangerous practice. The camera is
triggered by a vehicle exiting against
the arrows. The camera will snap a
series of three photos which captures
the license plate and make and
model of the exiting vehicle. I have
just started receiving the photos
of these careless offenders and am,
again, appalled at the number of
people exiting the island in this
manner. Not only do I have vehicles
taking this risk, I also have residents
in motorized carts playing “Russian
Roulette” with oncoming vehicles!!!
Sheer insanity!
Since this problem is much large

What is AMR and How Does it Work?
WHEN THERE IS AN
EMERGENCY AND YOU NEED
HELP, CALL 911. THAT’S THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING TO
REMEMBER AND REALLY ALL
YOU NEED TO REMEMBER.
THE REST, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS, CAN BE SORTED
OUT LATER.
The purpose of this article is to
answer the following frequently
asked questions:
• What is the procedure to follow in
the Village in an emergency?
• What is the difference between
the red truck that comes out (Fire-
Rescue) and the AMR (American
Medical Response) vehicle that
sometimes comes out a few
minutes later?
• Assuming you are transported
to a hospital, which service will
be used and to what extent is it
covered by your UCO dues?
• What might you or your insurance
provider be billed for?
• Who in the Village is covered—
owners, renters, guests?
BY LANNY HOWE
The procedure to follow:
As stated above, always call 911
first. This is Fire & Rescue. They
usually come out in a red truck from
the Okeechobee Fire-Rescue Station,
which has direct access to the Village
via their back gate and Glencoe
Street, which leads to our perimeter
road. They can be here in about five
minutes from the time they get the
call from their dispatch center.
There are usually 2-3 paramedics-
EMTs on the Red Truck. Paramedics
are a step above EMTs in that they can
give life support and medications.
They make a determination as
to whether the situation is life
threatening. If it is, they stabilize you
to the extent feasible at the scene and
transport you in the Red Truck to
the nearest hospital appropriate for
your current condition.
If AMR is called in:
If the situation is assessed by
the Fire-Rescue personnel as NOT
life threatening but you should go
to the hospital, they will normally
call AMR, and AMR will transport
you. AMR usually arrives within 15
minutes of the call from Fire-Rescue
and will take you to the nearby
hospital of your choice—provided
you are medically stable enough to
go there.

Who is covered by the UCO AMR must be paid later either by
contract with AMR: the guest or his insurance or by a
combination of the two.

MONEY VS.
IDEAS IN
AMERICA
Major media outlets are
reporting that both political parties,
Republican and Democrat, are
already raising millions of dollars
while gearing up for the mid-term
November elections. Money talks in
American politics. Those tiresome
television ads that run during the
election cycle speak not just for
politicians but for the millionaires
and billionaires who pay for them. It's
said, whether true or not, that among
the wealthiest world nations, the gap
between rich and poor is greatest in
America, and growing. Obviously,
the poor can't compete monetarily,
but they can compete in ideas. The
problem is they're not competing.
They're just complaining.
To this observer five issues need
real addressing: Defense, Education,
Infrastructure, Supreme Court, and
Immigration.
Although at the moment it
receives the most attention, I listed
immigration last, because I think
it's the most difficult of the issues to
resolve. Both sides have legitimate
arguments. The United States
is a nation of immigrants. For
Americans to turn their backs on
people yearning to be free is to go
against a fundamental principle
that has helped to make this country

Manpower will still be needed.
But it's rumored both China and
Russia are manufacturing super
submarines, capable of going deeper
below the ocean surface than any
previous vessels. The subs, defying
detection, can carry missiles with
nuclear warheads able to reach most
earthly targets. Something like that
is necessary for our own arsenal.

Americans feared nuclear retaliation
were one side to strike the other.
I've not forgotten North Korea.
But wouldn't a cyber attack be the
best weapon against it? With today's
modern technology, why doesn't this
country (or others) determine the
exact sites from which the North
launches its missiles and jam the sites
so missiles cannot be fired or, even,
would explode on the ground prior to
lifting into space? After all, we don't
want to bomb innocent civilians who
might be killed in an air raid. We
must have technological experts who
can develop cyber weaponry and, if
we don't, why don't we? If hackers
can get into our computers, I think
it's logical that we can get into their
devices.
Education. As noted, the gap
between rich and poor in America is
I'm opposed to that. Some of the
best Senators and Congressmen and
women become the best over a period
of time. They get to know what works
and what doesn't just by being there.
They're aware of their priorities
when they win elected office. But
on Capitol Hill they become more
acutely aware of others' interests and
concerns. And they find, over a period
of time, with whom to work and how
to accomplish their objectives. (They
hope)!
About the Supreme Court, I feel
differently. No member of the
highest Court in the land should be
allowed to serve more than ten years.
Court members are nominated
by the President and approved by
the Senate. But if the President,
be he/she conservative or liberal,
Republican or Democrat, s/he will
nominate someone supportive of the
Administration's and Congressional
beliefs and agendas. That's okay.
But it's not okay when the opposition
party gains ascendancy. Then the
Court can block the wants and needs
of the new majority. That's not good.
I personally would like to see
the Court's 2010 Citizens United
vs. Federal Election Commission
decision reversed. This was the
decision that allowed the birth of
political PACs and Super PACs. The
Court determined that restricting
independent expenditures for
communications was unlawful. In
other words, whomever or whatever
(corporations or labor unions, for
example,) could spend as much as they
wanted on political campaigns and
not have to reveal their identity. This
serves to perpetuate the differences
between rich and poor, inasmuch as
the poor lack the money to spend for
the purpose of expressing their views.
Millionaires and billionaires have
the wherewithal. They spend as they
wish. The makeup of the current
Court is such that it will not repeal
this measure. It should be repealed
so that those less wealthy can have a
level playing field and get back into
the game.
No, you're not going to agree on
everything I've written. But here
perhaps are some ideas to think
about.

would-be terrorists infiltrate with
the intention of destroying our land.
As best we can, we need to protect
ourselves against evil. Building a
wall is one possible answer. But

help to fund education, but much
of what they give goes to colleges
and universities, which are elitist

terrorists have an ideology. Another
part of the answer is to build a better
ideology. The notion of freedom, of a
free and open society, is a good, solid
foundation upon which to build.
Defense. Partly of our own
making, this country has real
and potential enemies. When the
US invaded Iraq in 2003, it did
two things: It scattered extremist
Muslims, who are now living
everywhere on the planet by attacking
like you would a hornet's nest; and
further it gave them the slogan of
"Americans are killing Muslims"
which has served as their single most
effective weapon. Under our current
President, the government appears
to be making enemies of both China
and Russia, a policy with which I
very much disagree. Acting together,
the three largest, strongest countries
could defeat extreme terrorism.
Pulling apart, the reality is all three
countries are too big to fail. Falling
back upon an old cliché, "If you
can't beat 'em, join 'em" would be
wise. However, truth be told,
both China and Russia are reported
to be modernizing militarily. As
of this writing, the United States is
not yet doing that. Yet with regard
to re-arming, what are the weapons

Nutrition and Health

Eat Your Vegetables
BY J E AN I E W. FR I E DM AN , MS R D LD/N

“Eat your vegetables.”
That’s what we heard at the dinner
table, even if our eight-year-old selves
did turn up our noses at the mere
sight of broccoli or green beans on
the plate. We were told if we ate
them, we’d be strong. That it was
healthy to eat vegetables. It turns
out, Mom was on to something back
then.
Vegetables, and fruits, are a rich
source of vitamins, minerals, and
protective compounds that can lower
risk of heart disease, stroke and help
prevent some cancers. They can
also assist in lowering the risk of
eye problems and digestive issues.
A variety of vegetables and fruits
can also help decrease high blood
pressure.
The American Institute for Cancer
Research recommends 7 servings
a day of both vegetables and fruits,
which is about 2 cups of each type
of produce. The USDA’s MyPlate
visual aid suggests to make half of
your plate vegetables and fruit at
mealtimes. One cup of a fruits or
vegetables would be about: 1 large
banana, or 8 large strawberries. It
can also be 12 baby carrots or a large
sweet potato.
A half-cup of a fruit or vegetable
would approximate to 16 grapes, a
large plum, or 5 broccoli florets.
Keep in mind that vegetables and
fruits are not always uniform in size
and can vary, even on the same vine,
stalk, or tree.
Tips for Adding in Vegetables:
Breakfast
• Try adding pumpkin purée to
your pancake or waffle batter
• Sauté some chopped peppers,
mushrooms, and onions to add
to scrambled eggs or an omelet.
Choose whatever mix-ins you
want!
Lunch
• Add toppings like mushroom,
peppers, spinach, or onions to
your favorite pizza.
• Add puréed vegetables to your stew
or soup. They can help thicken
liquids as well as give flavor to
your food.
Dinner
• Mix in shredded, grated, or
puréed vegetables into meatloaf
or meatballs. Chopped vegetables
can also be added to pasta sauces
and soups.
Snacks
• Enjoy baked tortilla chips in salsa
(which includes tomatoes) or
guacamole (avocados) instead of a
creamy dip.
• Raw vegetables dipped lightly in
salad dressing can satisfy your
craving for crunch instead of salty,
fatty chips.
Tips for Adding in Fruits:
Breakfast
• Add blueberries, bananas, or other
fruit to your pancake or waffle
batter
•
Cook down raspberries or
blueberries to make a syrup for
your French toast, pancakes, or
waffles
• Blend up a breakfast smoothie
with your choice of milk, yogurt,
and frozen and/or fresh fruit. You
can toss in spinach or kale leaves
to get in some more veggies.
Lunch
• Add fruit to your salads-mandarin
oranges, apple slices, grapes, dried
cranberries.
Dinner
•
Cooked apples, cranberries,
raisins, or oranges can be paired
up with a variety of meats.
Snacks/Desserts
• Keep fruit in a bowl out on the
counter where it’s easy to see and
easy to grab.
• Bake a whole apple with cinnamon
and raisins for a delicious and
healthier dessert.
• Pack fruit with you when you’re
out and about in case you get
hungry.
You’ll lessen temptation for the
unhealthy choices and save money
too.

AMERICAN SYMBOLS:
The Flag, the Statue of
Liberty, Statues and
Monuments, and Holidays
One of the key goals of teaching
and understanding history which
this article examines is to understand
the significance of iconic American
symbols. The symbols of America
are those objects that create an
understanding of American history,
principles and aspirations, while at
the same time creating a sense of
unity in our culture. These symbols
become touchstones for our society.
Understanding these symbols and
what they stand for is an integral
part of the great American saga.
These symbols and what they
represent may change over time.
This is what is happening now in the
United States. Many of these symbols
are being viewed in a context shaped
by contemporary values, political
beliefs and in many cases a lack of
historic interpretation. This explains
why there are continued attacks on
national or state monuments, the
Confederate flag, and most recently
Columbus Day.
These reactions to the symbols of
history clearly illustrate why many
politicians, and those that support
the elimination of national symbols,
lack the historical perspective
needed to see why these symbols
are important to our culture.
These elected officials that run the
government of San Francisco are all
in the caboose of American culture,
stuck on a track in America and
looking backwards without a clue as
how to cope with historical issues.
National symbols should be
respected because they provide a focal
point for diverse societies to express
and navigate what it is that unites
and represents them. In the current
political climate Americans are
debating what symbols represent. Do
they represent our collective ideals,
and if not, then we must change what
we think about whose images that get
narrated and which are silenced. The
city of San Francisco has officially
decided to marginalize the role that
Columbus played in what historians
refer to as the “Age of Discovery.”
Every generation re-invents and
re-imagines what the nation is and
how we Americans should relate to
it. For many, this is exactly what is
necessary to invigorate our culture to
incorporate the many changes that
our evolving society is experiencing.
“San Francisco votes to celebrate
Indigenous Peoples Day instead
of Columbus Day.” This was the
BY STEWART RICHLAND
headline on the top of the fold
printed in the San Francisco
Chronical recently.
San Francisco’s primary legislative
body voted Tuesday to replace
Columbus Day with Indigenous
Peoples Day in order to recognize
the “historic discrimination and
violence” against Native Americans
in the U.S.
“San Francisco has a responsibility
to oppose the systematic racism
towards indigenous peoples in the
United States, which perpetuates
high rates of poverty and income
inequality, exacerbating health,
education, and social crises among
Native Americans,” the measure
reads.
The San Francisco city politicians
decided to stop honoring the Italian
explorer who they claim condemned
massacred and enslaved Arawak
indigenous people and opened the
door to the European colonization
of the Americas.
Supporters of this action say
the city should not recognize a day
named after an Italian explorer who
colonized land belonging to Native
Americans.
Critics of Columbus Day argue
that the holiday does not celebrate
the discovery of America, but
instead honors the mass genocide
and colonization of the people
indigenous to the land.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
created a commission to assess the
value of monuments of historical
figures in public spaces in the
city. That includes the monument
honoring the Italian explorer in
Columbus Circle near Central Park.
The fight over the Columbus
statue comes amid a national debate
over honors to historic figures some
see as unworthy. Monuments of
Confederate leaders around the
country have also come under fire as
racially insensitive and an inspiration
to white supremacists.
Columbus monuments, too, have
come under fire. A San Jose group is
petitioning to remove the Christopher
Columbus statue donated to the
city in 1958 by the Italian-American
community from City Hall. A
Columbus statue in Houston was
defaced this summer. Organizers are
demanding a statue be taken down
in downtown Columbus, Ohio, and
a Columbus monument in Baltimore
was smashed recently.

But why? Many in America already
celebrate Native American Heritage
Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Some states, like Maryland, even
recognize this as a legal holiday and
treat it the same as Thanksgiving
— a day which in itself can already
be celebrated as a nod at the early
contributions of Native Americans.
Below is a quick primer on
Columbus
Why is Columbus Famous?
Who was Columbus?
Columbus was an explorer. In
1492, he sailed from Europe to
America. He and his sailors crossed
the Atlantic Ocean, not knowing
where they would land. It was a
voyage into the unknown. After
Columbus, other Europeans began
to explore and settle in America.
When did he live?
Christopher Columbus was born
in 1451. It was a time of new ideas
and discoveries in Europe. We call
this time the Renaissance - a word
that means 'rebirth'. People were
making maps of new lands. They
were building ships to explore places
they had never visited before.
What did Columbus do?
Columbus did not 'discover'
America. There were many people
already living there. Vikings from
Europe had landed in America 500
years before. But Columbus did
not know that. His voyage started
regular contact between America
and Europe.
Why is Columbus Famous?
Other explorers followed
Columbus. Amerigo Vespucci from
Italy sailed to South America.
'America' was named after him.
People knew that the New World was
not Asia, but a new continent..
Section B
How Columbus changed history
Columbus and his sailors sailed
bravely into the unknown. Columbus
did not give up, even when people
laughed at his ideas.
Explorers brought home gold, new
foods and new knowledge. However,
they brought misery to many Native
Americans. The Europeans took their
land. Many Native Americans were
killed in wars with the Europeans, or
died from European diseases.
To understand his motives
and accomplishments requires an
understanding of the 15th-century
world in which Columbus lived. The
western world was changed by two
major events. The Crusades which
introduced Europeans to the food,
spices and silks of Asia, and the rise
of the Italian peninsula as a leading
commercial region. These events
contributed to a “reawakening of
learning” called the Renaissance.
The Spanish monarchy was in
the process of
expanding its power
over its neighbors
and needed gold to
pay for its foreign
policy. With the
Atlantic Ocean on
its western coast
coupled with the
scientific advances

Continued from Pg 1
made by the Portuguese schools of
navigation and map making, the
Spanish monarchy looked to Asia as
a source of wealth through trade and
thus weaken the power of Italy at the
same time.
Columbus took advantage of this
and was financed by the Spanish
crown to find a quick sea route to
Asia. What Columbus found was a
huge land mass that would prevent
any ship from sailing directly to
the Asian markets. This discovery
led to further explorations by the
“Conquistadors” who were motivated
by “Gold, Glory and God.” The record
of these invaders and the atrocities
they leveled on the indigenous tribes
of South America, Mexico and the
Southwest including the California
territory can’t be denied.
With so many people to point
a finger at why would the San
Francisco City Council condemn
only Columbus when there were so
many other explorers that committed
crimes against the indigenous
peoples of South, Central and North
America.? For example, Juan Ginés
de Sepúlveda argued that the natives
deserved far harsher treatment from
the civilized Spaniards then they
were receiving. However, there is
no response by the Los Angeles city
leaders to change the name of a major
roadway “Sepulveda Boulevard “
after a man who supported crimes

against the native population.
The Spanish forced their culture,
language, food and religion on the
native population. Why then not at
least change the name of all Spanish
street signs to English. How about
closing all the Catholic churches
because they forced the indigenous
population to accept Catholicism
or be punished. Let us go one step
further. Close down all Spanish
or Mexican restaurants since it is
an offshoot of the poisoned tree.
Why not end the use of the Spanish
language since it’s also a product of
the Conquistadors invasion of the
West.
Next issue. The city government of
San Francisco is so concerned about
poverty and racism, why have they
not addressed the fact that their city
has the highest homeless rate in the
United States? What I am alluding to
is the fact that this is just “political
correctness” gone crazy and that the
real motive for their actions is to win
votes in the next electoral cycle.
No honest observer can dismiss
the injustices perpetrated after
Columbus’ landing (nor before it),
but one benefit of his voyage has
been forgotten: It inadvertently
exposed the Americas to the School
of Salamanca. Spain was the first
European nation where a debate took
place among intellectuals on the
legitimacy of its national conquest,
based on the notion of “just titles”
(justos títulos). Many argued that
natives retained their dignity and Peter Giannini or A.P. Giannini

Transportation
By Lori Torres
Particular
note has
been taken of
speeding buses
in the Village.
One was seen
traveling at
40 mph by a
COP driver making his rounds. The
driver's excuse was that he has to be
on time for his next stop and had to
make up for delays. His complaint
has been documented and turned
over to me and in turn to Jose from
Transdev who is going to look into
this problem further because safety
is first.
Resident riders have complained
that drivers are passing on germs
when they have colds and handle
the passenger ID's which are needed
to be handed to them. The obvious
answer to this would be that drivers
should not be working when they are
infected, but we were informed that
drivers are screened by a doctor for
approval to drive. Sanitary wipes are
provided by the company for their
use and it is a matter of training. It
was pointed out that passengers are
as much at fault when they board
buses with contagious conditions
and it is just a fact of life that when
you go out among others, you are
always subject to these conditions.
Further complaints have been
SERVICES
received about therapy dogs on
the bus that are unleashed and do
a "mess." Written reports in this
regard are also needed for further
investigation.
The new Route 4 Extension of
Palm Tran buses is a problem in
that they do not coincide with our
internal schedules which cannot
be changed. The bus does stop at
the Haverhill gate where there is no
bench at the present time, but there
is a sponsor who will be providing
a bench with a covering. There is a
further problem for residents who
need to cross the road to pick up
the bus at Villa Regina going in the
opposite direction.
However, this is a 6-mile extension
of the system with 20 additional
stops and operating on Sundays.
Your Palm Tran passes will apply to
trips on this bus. For the complete
route, you may pick up a convenient
Palm Tran Route 4 map at the UCO
office.
Other issues were presented at
this monthly meeting about the
S E N IOR S
excursion trips to the beach. When
the weather does not permit, the VS. CRIME,
excursion will go to the Mall instead,
especially if only a few people show a service provided to

expanded
our Self-Service Center services by
offering additional community
workshops covering topics from
divorce to small claims.
Last year, more than 300 people
attended our workshops, initially
held only at the Main Courthouse.
In addition to our Main Courthouse
events on the first Wednesday of
each month, we will host events at
alternating locations on the third
Wednesday of the month.
Our Self-Service Centers are
your guide to Palm Beach County’s
courts, offering everything from
affordable attorney consultations for
procedural advice to do-it-yourself
legal forms for divorce, evictions,
small claims and more.
The centers serve thousands
of customers each year, and are
located at the Main Courthouse in
West Palm Beach and our branch
locations in Delray Beach, Palm
Beach Gardens and Belle Glade.
The Clerk’s Self-Service Centers also
provide a number of other helpful
services for the public, including free
access to computers, notary, copy and
fax services, a video relay system to
assist hearing impaired customers,
and community resource referrals
for legal, mediation, counseling, and
elder and social services. These Self-

“POD” TRAINING
Century Village WPB has been a
designated “Closed POD” (private)
for the distribution of antibiotics,
in the event of a Terrorist Attack
(Biological-Anthrax), for several
years.
An agreement was entered into
between the Florida Department of
Health-Palm Beach and UCO with
C.E.R.T. volunteers coordinating
the effort to operate the POD.
Our work is focused on having
a plan and infrastructure to
dispense medications, in the event
of an Anthrax-type attack or other
biological or chemical event, to all
Century Village residents.
A periodic review and updating of
the POD volunteers is necessary to
ensure we have enough credentialed
volunteers in place for the basic
requirement of readiness.
As you may realize, some people
are no longer able to serve as
volunteers and others are needed
to be recruited and credentialed in
their stead. The closed POD cannot
operate in an emergency or disaster
without its volunteers.
• Volunteers are needed to
distribute medication to all
residents of Century Village
• No medical background is
necessary. The Health Dept will
certify volunteers.
• Training is provided by the
Palm Beach Health Department
and scheduled for Wednesday
March 14, 9 AM to NOON, at the
Clubhouse, in the Party room.
• Signup sheets will be placed in
the UCO office and the WPRF
ticket office in the clubhouse for
those willing to commit to this
important project.

Around the Bases with
Irwin Cohen
Last month I mentioned that I'll
be speaking around the corner at
the Okeechobee Library, on Tuesday,
March 13, at 2:00 p.m.
Besides hearing a bit about my
career, covering the legends of the
game and how I earned a World
Series ring, we'll have plenty of time
for your questions, comments and
opinions.
Most of us followed baseball in the
1950s and 1960s, so let's remember
two long-time players who passed
away not too long ago.
They played in the era prior to
free agency. During their time in
the major leagues, they could be
traded, sold or released at the whim
of management.
Sort of what kids do with their
baseball cards, trade, sell or throw
away.
They were familiar faces to me
every year I collected baseball cards.
I saw them play often and often saw
them after their playing careers. They
all died around the same time not
that long ago.
Ned Garver was one of the first
players I had ever heard of as a
youngster. Garver pitched for the
lowly St. Louis Browns from 1948
to 1952. (Two years later the Browns
moved to Baltimore and became the
Orioles.)
In 1950 and 1951, Garver led
the American League in complete
games--22 in '50 and 24 the following
year. The Browns lost 102 games in
1951, but Garver had an excellent 20-
12 record. He was also one of the best
hitting pitchers and batted .286 in

1950 and .305 in 1951 and was used
as a pinch-hitter.
Garver also pitched for the Detroit
Tigers, Kansas City Athletics (before
they became the Oakland A's) and
the Los Angeles Angels and compiled
a career 129-157 record with a pretty
fair 3.73 earned-run average. He was
born in Ney, Ohio, and crossed the
state line to Michigan and was often
seen attending games in Detroit and
suiting up for old-timers games. I
have many memories of him talking
to Ralph Branca, who also pitched
for the Tigers around the mid-fifties.
He died at 91 not too far from
where he was born.
Jimmy Piersall was one of
baseball's greatest characters.
Brought up to the major leagues
by the Boston Red Sox in 1950, the
heralded outfielder made the majors
to stay in 1952. His erratic behavior led
to hospitalization for mental issues.
Teammate Ted Williams called him
the best defensive outfielder he had
ever seen. Piersall's story--Fear Strikes
Out--was a popular book made into
a movie in 1957, starring Anthony
Perkins as Piersall and Karl Malden
as his demanding father.
The Red Sox swapped him to
Cleveland in 1959 and it was on to
Washington two seasons later before
joining Casey Stengel's New York
Mets in 1963, where he hit the 100th
home run of his career and celebrated
the milestone by circling the bases
backwards. Manager Stengel wanted
to be the only clown in a Mets
uniform and sent Piersall packing
soon after, where he joined the Los
Angeles Angels. He liked Hollywood

Rodger! Don’t worry. There is no this to be racist. Go figure. Now

Sports of the
Century—Village
BY SAM MILHAM
“Take Two and Hit to Right”
BASKETBALL:
A few years back, I wrote that
the Boston Celtics and New York
Knicks might play their way back
to respectability. Well, I was half
right.The Celtics have basketball’s
third best record (out of thirty): 35
and 14, behind only the Houston
Rockets, 34 and 13, and the Golden
State Warriors, 39 and 10. While the
Knicks’ record of 22 and 28 is the
19th best in the League, and they
are still rebounding from the Phil
Jackson era, they do have some good
players they can build with: Kristops
Porzingas, Tim Hardaway, Jr., and
Enes Kanter with 13.8 points and 10
rebounds per game. This puts Kanter
in the top ten to twelve.
Call me crazy (you probably do),
but with Lebron James becoming
a free agent this year, I would sign
him. I have not said that in the past
-- look it up -- but this year I would.
I feel LeBron would teach this young
Knicks team how to win -- especially
Kristops Porzingas, who is very good
but could be great with an attitude
change, if he became less verbal and
more physical. Kristops needs to use
his elbows and body more often than
he does. He should average between
22 and 25 points per game, while Enes
Kanter is in the top 12 rebounders
with an average of 10 boards per game
but needs to improve on his defense.
I see with the right moves made, he
can come back into contention next
year or soon after that, but first get
Lebron! Kristops is now out for the
season with a knee operation.
FOOTBALL:
Rodger God-dell wants to look
into a rule change on football’s catch
rule. After a number of controversial
calls by football reps, it seems there
is no consistency. If you listen to
my radio pod-cast, Roscoe Ranelli,
Lou Piscitelli and I discussed this
problem about a month ago. I just
didn’t know you were listening,
charge for our advice.
BASEBALL:
The last two months I have
written about the Miami Marlins fire
sale. Now Kenley Jansen, LA Dodger
relief pitcher, is calling for a players’
strike after the Pittsburgh Pirates
started a fire sale of their own -- no
doubt, saying the owners have been
doing these fire sales to keep salaries
down. Salaries now average about
$4.5 million per player a year. The
last baseball strike was in 1994. Let’s
not repeat it. Commissioner Manfred
and Tony Clark, Major League Player
Rep, must get together and resolve
this issue now.
THE “CHIEF WAHOO”
LOGO:
Cleveland is now a better place.
Indians’ owner Paul Dolan has
consented to drop the logo of an
Indian head on their baseball caps
to quiet the people who have deemed
when will the Atlanta Braves’ logo
or the Washington Redskins’ logo
be changed for the same reason? St.
John’s College changed their name
from the Red Men to the Red Storm
many years ago, by the way. Just what
is a Red Storm anyway?
SUPER BOWL:
The game between New England
and Philadelphia was one of the
better games in Super Bowl’s 52-
year history. Both quarterbacks had
great games. Eagles quarterback
Nick Folds was 28 of 49 with 373
passing yards, while Tom Brady, who
broke his own record of 466 passing
yards set last year, was 28 of 48 with
505 passing yards for a Super Bowl
record. (Not bad for an old man.)
Till next time, folks, take two and
hit to right!

Spri n g B r e a k
Those Spring Break youngsters
have all the fun, don’t they? Well,
I’m not going to stand for it. I
remember my grandmother used
to turn down opportunities, like to
water ski or roller-skate, because she
feared she might break something.
And by something I mean a leg or
an arm. Or her head. As a young
woman witnessing my grandma in
her rocking chair, missing out on
life in my view, I promised myself
I would never be like her. I was an
adventuress. I was fearless. I was
pretty dumb and naïve about the
limits of the aging human body. But
today that rebel voice in my head still
calls to me to try ‘stuff’ just because
it tickles me that grandma would be
appalled.
I can hear you readers laughing at
my bravado in light of the fact that
I’m not a spring chicken anymore.
And I’m certain, even if you won’t
admit it, that some of you also have
that inner drive to be reckless. How
do I know? I see you on your Harleys
in the Village. You do know that
having to go 25 miles per hour sort
of cancels out the coolness, right?
Anyhoo, I had occasion to call my
own bluff this spring when I went on
my annual senior spring break trip, a
cruise. Did I ski down a mountain?
No. Did I drive a race car? No. But
when I had the chance to get on a
jet ski in the blue Caribbean water
I took it. Okay, maybe it’s not the
extreme sport that I imagined I
would challenge myself with, but it’s
still something I’d never done before.
First off, you have to don a bathing
suit and meet up on the beach with
the others in your tour group, who
are almost to a man and woman half
the age I am. That in itself should
have gotten me points. I didn’t
pack a bathing suit because I had
no intention of swimming, so I had
to borrow one from my travel mate.
She’s larger than I am so the crotch
of the suit hung somewhere just

north of my knees. I don’t even want
to talk about what the top looked
like. Okay, maybe I will. It looked
like I had taken a hard fall on my
front and smashed both of them flat
but they were still in there moving
around alarmingly free. My plan was
to just keep my arms by my sides so
nothing would pop out. But back to
the crotch problem. I threw on a pair
of panties under the suit and hoped
no one would really notice. Of course
when you pretend something isn’t
happening…just know that it really
still is happening.
So I walked across the sand to the
meet-up area with mincing steps to
keep the crotch from swaying to and
fro and with my arms pinned rigidly
by my side to hold my boobs in place.
Yeah, I got stares. No matter, because
my adrenaline spiked when I saw that
gorgeous, sleek, black and shiny jet-
ski just waiting for me.
After listening to the safety
lecture, something we adventurers
find boring and hate to do, the next
chore was to mount the machine. It
hadn’t dawned on me before but I
had to lift my leg dog-on-a-hydrant
style to straddle it. I also had to let
go of the bathing suit to use my
arms. I will admit it did take me
several tries to get on without my
body either leaving the top of my suit
or the bottom wrapping painfully
around my thighs. I actually heard
a little snort of laughter behind me
and several cell phone camera clicks.
”You won’t be young forever” I glared
towards them as I pushed and pulled
and tucked and adjusted. It was
exhausting but I finally got settled.
I’m tall with long legs, so when
I sat I looked like a grasshopper on
a black leaf. But there was no way I
was backing out now. It could only
get better, right?
Finally we were allowed to give it
the gas and speed off into the blue
ocean. Okay, the rest of the group
sped off. I was puttering off. But I
was off, gosh darn it. The instructor
felt the necessity to ride next to me.
Like I was some kind of invalid.
He shouted instructions to me but
frankly over the sound of the engine
I didn’t hear a word he said. I just
nodded and made a shooing motion
for him to leave me alone. “You’re
embarrassing me,” I yelled to him.
Like I hadn’t done that to myself
already. I gave it a little more throttle
and headed out to where the rest of
my group was. And no, they didn’t
wait for me. I was like the pesky
little sister on a date always tagging
annoyingly behind.
At that moment I recall being sort
of grateful and amazed to be upright
and not tipped over into the water
and it boosted my courage. Seeing as
how I couldn’t seem to keep up with
the others, I broke from the group
and zipped all over the lagoon solo,
feeling quite free and exuberant. I
was having so much fun I decided
to give it more gas. It responded
quickly to my lightest touch. I began
to go faster and faster, my hair and
my suit and maybe even other parts
of me flapping in the wind. It was
the closest to flying I’d ever done
and I was thoroughly enjoying
myself. I was caught up in the thrill
of accomplishment. Eventually the
rental time ran out and I saw the
signal to come back to shore, so I
headed in. But I was really moving
now.
Turns out I didn’t hear or maybe I
didn’t absorb the instructions on how
to slow down in the approach. I sped
my way to the beach like a torpedo
menacing a small shore town. I
could see the docking area and the
little restaurant on the end of the pier
which seemed to be my destination at
the angle I was coming towards them
like a speeding bullet. As I got closer
to the glass wall of the restaurant I
noticed people grabbing their plates
and scattering. People on the beach
were sending stunned looks my way
UCO President

and began waving their arms. At
first I thought they were impressed
by my ability and speed, but it soon
dawned on me that if I didn’t stop I
was going to crash through the glass.
I panicked. Just let up on the throttle
my brain screamed to my now frozen
hands. It was like a sci-fi movie where
the monster is coming and people
run for their lives.
I was getting alarmingly close.
There were jet-skiers to either side
of me going as fast as I was. I later
learned they were trying to catch me
to help me but all I registered is that
they were blocking my pathway to
turn and avoid hitting the pier. Then,
out of the corner of my eye, I saw a
red jet-ski with a rather large man
approaching me at a right angle from
the left side. He later said he hadn’t
seen me because he was watching the
restaurant patrons screaming and
scattering like rats. The next thing I
heard was a metallic crash sound and
I was launched upward and off the
machine. I landed in the water with
a loud clumsy plop. I truly believe
I drank half the lagoon. I lay there
bobbing in my life vest staring at the
blue sky, while people made their way
to what they thought was my cold,
dead body.
They brought me up to the same
restaurant that I almost smashed
into and had me sit. A cold drink
was thrust in my hands and I was
very aware of the tsks and gawking
looks. More cell phone camera clicks.
When my legs stopped being wobbly
(traitors) they loaded me into a golf
cart and carted me back to the ship.
I was told by the cruise line that I
am banned from water activities on
that island. Banned?! Humph. Not
to worry. Heck, they’ll forget about
it. Next year when I go there I’m
going to try zip-lining.
Grandma just rolled her eyes from
above.

Hungry for March
Holidays
March is a month with holidays
occurring weekly. Earth Day, St.
Patrick's Day, my mom's birthday and
Passover are just a few. Who has time
to develop a festive menu for each
special day? Not me. Between track,
schoolwork and writing my second
cookbook, I don't have time to labor
for hours in the kitchen. Fortunately,
I've created a dish that mashes (no
pun intended) four holidays into one:
Parsley Hasselback Potatoes. Spuds
are the earth's finest root vegetable
and serve as a meaty vehicle for an
Earth Day dish (don't worry carrots,
I still like you!). These potatoes are
thinly sliced and sprinkled with
fresh flat leaf parsley, bringing a

A Hasselback Potato is a fancy
name for "a sliced baked potato."
It takes about the same time to
prepare, but visually, it's much more
sophisticated. Think about it this

is the reverse - it's cut before you cook

to swap for any other herb. Chives,

Corn and Lump Crab Chowder but
the wait person suggested she bring
me a small sample as she said this,

“The Washboard Weepers,”
“Sudsers,” and “Soap Operas”
Are On The Air!
BY STEW RICHLAND
I would like to consider the
creation of soap operas as a cultural
reflection in a certain period of
history, namely the 1920s and 1930s,
and as a literary art form. We must
look at and examine the context in
which soap operas were created to
really understand the impact and
importance they played on the lives
of so many millions during the late
1920s and 30s here in the United
States. It is important to include
the historical time period of this
art form and gender along with the
social value systems of the decade.
Virtually every soap opera
during this period, showcased the
changing role of women during
the 1920’s and 30’s. Women were
portrayed as characters with varied
personalities, having a greater depth
of understanding the world in which
they lived, and have the moral
strength to make the right decisions
regardless of the consequences.
Three cheers should be given to the
women writers of soap operas for
portraying women in stronger, more
interesting life roles. I think it’s a
shame it had taken so long for our
culture to accept the assumption
that strong female role models
would not be accepted by society.
One of the most dramatic
changes to life in America came
when electricity became available to
city and rural communities around
1926. Suddenly the world opened
up to millions of shut-ins when they
turned on their radios. Homes were
filled with music, news, and their
favorite radio programs.
Created with the American
housewife in mind, radio soap
operas, also called “Washboard
Weepers”, were sponsored
by manufacturers of
household products
like facial soap or soap
powders and broadcast
during the daytime. Soap
operas were the most
financially profitable
radio programs of the
radio age. According
to radio historians,
the profits were so
huge that the rest of
the programming was
subsidized by the profits
of the soap operas.
Does history repeat itself? I will
let you make up your own mind. This
weekend there were women’s marches
throughout the United States.
Excluding the attacks on President
Trump, the theme of the marches
was based on women’s rights issues.
For example women were supporting
the two sides of the abortion rights
issue. Others, were demanding equal
pay for comparative work with men.
Many others were attacking those
men in power positions that sexually
assaulted and harassed their female
staffers.
In the late 1920‘s when soap
operas were becoming very popular
with the women in America, they
were subjected to vile and debasing
attacks. Some attacks came from
within the radio industry. Dr. Lee
De Forest called soaps “tripe” and
they “could be ordered off the air
without much cultural loss to the
American people. The women that
were the head of the American
Arbitration Association assailed
soaps as, “a deluge of dirt in which
the “clear boundary edges of moral
are smeared and obliterate.” The
staff at Variety noted that ”soap
operas were guilty of providing a
malnutritious diet of pap.” James
Thurber poked fun at the soaps
by defining them as “simplistic, a
formal sandwich whose recipe was
“Between thick slices of advertising,
spread twelve minutes of dialogue,
and predicament, villainy, and
female suffering in equal measure,
throw in a dash of nobility, sprinkle
with tears, season with organ music,
cover with a rich announcer sauce,
and serve five times a week.”
Soap operas did have a long list
of defenders. Ima Philips, one of
the most prolific and successful
creators of soap operas argued that
her stories were simply reflections
of reality. She argued, “The serial
drama is not such stuff as dreams
are made of, it is as fundamental as
life itself. Our day by day existence is
a serial drama.” Two doctors from
the University of Chicago in 1943
noted, “By dramatizing the hopes
and fears of the average American
housewife, and her standards of
right and wrong, the radio serial
tells stories, points out good and evil
in a way that ordinary people can
understand.”
One defender of the soaps, Hobe
Morrison, critic for Variety, said, “
Many soaps had critical roles to play
in American society.” He cited the
Goldbergs, a Jewish family living in
New York as promoting religious
and ethnic tolerance for this serial
last many years and must have had
a definite effect on its listeners. In
1947 a study group contended that
Big Sister had a powerful social
effect in that it curbed neuroticism,
strengthened marriages, provided
techniques for coping with emotional
problems, improved women’s sense
of security and importance, and
had a positive effect on listeners’
personalities.” Even Thuber had to
admit that the soaps were a form
of daytime “morality play” avidly
followed by millions of listeners.
The most telling defense of soap
operas, however, lay in the economics
of daytime radio. By the late 1930s
the soaps had become a significant
source of revenue for the networks.
Expenditures for daytime radio
advertising rose from $11,331,882
in 1935, to $26,701,845 in 1936.
Furthermore, sponsors were able to
utilize a greater percentage of the
time in a soap broadcast than any
other form of radio programming
In the average fifteen-minute
serial, 17.8 percent of the time—
two minutes and forty seconds—
were spent advertising. This was in
excess of two and one-half times the
amount of time spent advertising on
one-hour evening shows. Even thirty-
minute evening programs used only
10.4 percent of their time with the
advertiser’s message. The soaps also
were inexpensive for sponsors to
produce. In 1946, for example, the
average cost of a typical program—
fifteen minutes a day, five days a
week—was only $1,400 for actors,
writing, and technical assistance.
During the the 1930s the themes
of many of the soap operas appealed
to listeners struggling to
get by in the Depression.
The Depression put men
and women out of work, it
broke apart families, and it
threatened the confidence
which held together the
entire society. Thematically
many of the early daytime
serials appealed directly
to listeners feeling the
bite of hard times. Betty
and Bob, which premiered
in 1932, was the story of
a young married couple
who had been disowned by
the husband's millionaire
father and was forced to work and
save, as did most listeners. Marie, the
Little French Princess in 1933 told of
a wealthy young woman of nobility
who found a happier and more
romantic life living as a commoner
in the United States.
Soap operas were designed to be
consumed a little at a time. The story
lines follow the day-to-day activities
of characters lives and relationships.
Basically those popular soaps did
not have an ending; the story kept
going on and on. Soaps make their
stories interesting by using conflicts
such as, “Who is the father?” “Is that
my real mother?” “Who shot Roger?”
“Is the baby really his or hers?” This
was the formula designed to keep
the listener tuned to the soaps.
In my next article I will examine
some of the key soap operas of the
period and look at some of the
storylines that kept the listener
glued to the radio.
As always, I appreciate any
comments on this series. Remember!
