Hi, the contact us part of the site is way to the right of page. Is it my pc or is it that way ?

SCREEN NAMES

I would like to know what is the difference between ANONYMOUS and
SCREEN NAMES. The way I see it the only difference is that the Committee
members will know by looking up their info. To the majority of the CV
Bloggers if I were to use a screen name like GRAND DAME are you going to
know that it is me. NO you are not because you are not on the Committee
that has all the info. We are being told by the people that are running this
Blog that there will be no ANONYMOUS but SCREEN NAMES ARE PERMISSIBLE.
A message to all CV Bloggers....are you getting the picture now.....All they are
doing is changing the word ANONYMOUS to SCREEN NAMES.

MOJO'S IMMINENT DEMISE - OH HORROR

New Hires

Let me restate something I was saying at the Del Mtg.
When UCO hires new paid employees, UCO should be saying:

“We are leaving behind the old school methods and cozy deals.
What new ideas, modern methods, and computer skills can you bring to the job that will make us so efficient that your salary will be covered by the savings that you create.”
Roger that!

(Its okay Roger I just wanted to use that phrase)
Don't ask me about the actual motion, that was a wiffle ball.

New Blog Druthers

What would you like to see, or not see on new blog, admins will be chewing on this next week. The mills of god grind slowly.

* I would like to see questions answered by UCO officers and cmte chairs.

Paulette Burdick is Toast

Paulette Burdick is toast, ring, ring, ring..

Have you been constantly interrupted and awakened by her phone survey.
There is no “go away” "do not call” option. Your only options are to answer a long biased survey or be bothered again later.
How stupid do they think we are. Oh, this is Florida and they are consultants.
If you answer a couple of questions and hang up they will call back!! Forcing you to answer – no doubt they will be amazed at some negative responses, and many hang-ups. When will the programmed calling nonsense stop.

From the news - “Burdick: paid consultants on hold. Pleased with the grass-roots volunteer organization for her 2010 Democratic campaign for county commission, school board member Paulette Burdick has put paid consultants … on hold — at least temporarily. Burdick is running against state Rep. Mary Brandenburg, D-West Palm Beach, in a Dem primary to succeed term-limited Commish Jeff Koons.” “Burdick paid $1,000 in June for the consulting expertise of Johnson, who’s also chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Boca Raton, and who works with Schiller on several local races.”

CHANGES, GOOD NEWS - BAD NEWS

Hi All,
This BLOG was created some 21 months ago to give you, the CV Unit Owner, an unrestricted voice. It has succeeded to a point with the development of a small cadre of active bloggers.


From the beginning there has been an issue that has irked some; and that issue is anonymous posting.


Anonymous posting has been a problem with not only some of our bloggers, but also with some of the Officers of UCO.
An opportunity has arisen with the approach of the expiration of the CV Web Site Domain Name, to try a new experiment.
We propose a new BLOG which combines the Information function of the CV Web site with the Broadband interaction capability of the BLOG format.


Three things will happen when the new BLOG  goes into final operation:


1) This BLOG will go away.
2) The CV Web site will go away.
3) Anonymous posting will go away.


The new Site is being built at this time and we invite you all to examine it and to feedback your comments and ideas about this new approach.


SEE: http://century-village-wpb.blogspot.com/


All those who have signed in to the CVBLOGANDCHAT with a true name and Email address will shortly be sent an invitation to sign in and Post to the new site.


Thank you all,
Dave Israel

SPECIAL MEETING ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE

Hi all,
The following Email was received from Phyllis Richland:
Dave Israel
.............................................................................................
Dave,
please post on your BLOG that every delegate or alternate must attend the October meeting (of the Delegate Assembly). there will be a vote to include (a presentation by) the owners of the golf course property at the October 15th., 2009 (special) meeting in the theatre. I have heard , that an impartial mediator will chair that meeting. I do not know who it is, or who will choose this person. I do not know how it will be advertised, or how the word will get out, but I hope the theater is overflowing. 

I do know that UCO, ie. George is starting to bend to the will of the people, in that he is agreeing to this.


Please tell every delegate and or alternate to be sure to sit in the designated areas so that all the votes will be counted properly and if any one wants to speak or ask a question he or she does not have to walk down the length of the theatre.
I am an advocate of the development . I feel that it will do nothing but good for the Village and the surrounding areas.
I have been to a meeting with Andrew Waldman (The golf course Co-owner) and I , as a former contractor, can see the development is a good thing.


let us give him an opportunity (to present his vision) without the vitriol and the one sided hysterical commentary.


Thanks for listening,

Phyllis

Reflections on Meeting with Developer of Former Golf Course

I too attended one of the recent small group presentations by Drew Waldman, the developer of the former Turtle Bay Golf Course. It was an enlightening and helpful time, because until then, despite the fact I had been to many delegates meetings, I really didn’t understand what was going on relative to the old golf course. Others who attended felt the same.

Mr. Waldman’s plans are to have moderately-priced housing, varied in style, a maximum of 550 units in all, in a village-type setting—that is, with some small shops and stores for use by the residents. These shops would not be there for use by the general public, but Mr. Waldman would welcome an arrangement whereby people in Century Village could patronize them. In fact, Mr. Waldman made it clear several times that he looked forward to doing almost anything cooperatively with the Village.

I was puzzled when I first saw the large map showing his development and the edge of our Century Village property. There were two large lakes—were they ours? No, they explained, these were lakes on their property that they would build, which would not only provide some pleasant scenery, but also form a kind of buffer zone between their housing and our Village. In other words, their lakes, not their housing would abut our property.

What I learned at this informal meeting was heartening. It seemed from the plans that those Villagers who live with a nice view of the golf course would now perhaps have an even nicer view with the lakes and surrounding grass areas. It seemed too that with this buffer zone, we might not have to be as concerned as we were with Village break-ins. The plans, we were told, are not for this to be low-income housing, which might bring in a bad element. It occurred to me that not only the lakes, but their village as well might provide our Village with a buffer zone from crime.

I know nothing about the zoning or legal aspects of this, but I believe Mr. Waldman seemed amenable to our putting up a fence if we wanted to have one. Perhaps in whatever agreements, if any, are involved, this could be written in as okay to do if we felt in the future we wanted it. There is no fence now, as has been noted in this blog. I understand that many Golf’s Edge residents like their view without a fence being interposed. Plus, a fence would be expensive, as Dave Israel pointed out at this meeting, costing maybe well over $100,000.

Something is bound to be done in time about the former golf course land. Turtle Bay was a losing proposition; I think it is dreaming to expect another golf course to take its place. It seems to me that what Mr. Waldman plans could very well be a plus for the Village and the general area in which we live. As one person at the meeting pointed out, the best overall solution for high-crime areas in decline is to step-by-step improve them with good neighbors. This person described how this was done in Hoboken, NJ, a successful effort which then spread to some surrounding towns.

The one thing I am uneasy about is the added traffic. Mr. Waldman did not have an answer for this, saying this would be a matter for the county or town to work out. I would guess at the least it would mean another traffic light on Haverhill between our entrance and Okeechobee.

I would like to see Mr. Waldman be able to present his plans to the officials of the Village and enter into discussions with them. I understand there has been an ad hoc “golf course committee” in the Village for some time. This is fine, and it is quite natural given that these people abut the golf course. But neither they nor groups like the one I attended represent the Village as a whole, and the whole Village has a concern about what replaces the golf course. After Mr. Waldman and his assistants have met as many times as they need to with a legally representative committee of Village officials, then there could be a presentation at a delegates meeting.
