St Joseph Day Party

Once upon a time in a small village in Sicily (or Sussex CV) there were people who loved to sing, tell jokes, feast, especially on St Joseph's Day (small phone video).

Blurry Photos?

SmartDeblur – do you have blurry photos? Now you have a chance to restore it. Just download SmartDeblur and open your photo – the rest will be done automatically. http://smartdeblur.net/

It really works, my photo was taken at night - so it is blurred (little snapshot camera) then fixed (trial version)

Use a Crowdsourced Satellite Platform To Look For The Missing Malaysia Air Plane

Ever since Malaysia Air MH370 went missing, presumed crashed, everyone has been looking for the wreckage, in an effort to find out what happened. The trouble though is that the search area involved is vast, and combing the area will take a lot of time and a lot of manpower. Enter the power of crowdsourcing to help. http://www.digitalglobeblog.com/

If you would like to volunteer your time to support the rescue mission, please visit DigitalGlobe’s Tomnod platform (click) to begin combing through satellite imagery for clues that may help locate the missing aircraft.

Connections are slow but very interesting.

BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

The CAM Reports

I've just read Ted Herrle's latest CAM report. I've said this before, but these reports are the best things since sliced bread. You not only get updated on the projects going on in the Village, but on their PROGRESS. If a project is delayed because two out of three contractors bidding on it have not quoted for exactly what you asked for, you hear about it. If the unavailability of replacement parts for the transponder machines is fast becoming an acute problem, you learn this. Ted's reports are not only informative; they also help squelch rumors before they get started and nip complaints in the bud.

Great job you are doing, Ted! 

GOT RICE Chinese/Vietnamese

Small eatery next to Starz in the Emporium Shoppes. I had Pho Chin, beef noodle soup w/well done brisket. The broth is cooked for over 12 hours, topped with scallions, onion, cilantro, w/a side of fresh sprouts, basil, jalapenos and lime wedges. Lots of noodles + a couple of sauces. I felt very satisfied but light Tra La!, and have enuf for tomorrow. I am definitely going back to try more dishes (no MSG) fresh and delicious.

Next time Pad Thai. The fortune was very uplifting.

Green Screen and More

Library System Unveils CreationStation
CreationStation, Palm Beach County’s first completely free and public digital media lab and recording studio, was unveiled at a special event on February 24 at the Main Library in West Palm Beach.
Our thespians are already green screening, but they might like a field trip.

Sometimes the good guys win

7,584 thanks to:

Our delegates - Showing up to sit thru disruptions, finding the truth despite insults and scandal rumors, recognizing bullies, embracing freedom. Having faith in the right way for our village to move forward.

Our candidates – refusing to stoop to their opponents’ levels, giving us the benefit of their backbone, intelligence and experience -- and the humility to understand that serving is a privilege, not a place to turn hate on anyone who stands in their way. 

Sometimes the good guys win.

Lift at Hastings

I rode the famous lift at Hastings, the trip was 1 1/2 minutes, I did not dehydrate, although the fountain at the base was not working.  

For Birdwatchers

There is a pair of sandhill cranes at the Hastings clubhouse, posing for pictures, they also like the Dorchester Secret Garden.  Pls do not feed them, they are moochers.  

Spring Forward

Esther Blown Away

Congratulations to winners, Dave must live right (of course he does). A superb group who will work together to bring CV forward.
Points to Olga for organization skills, BUT, well y'know (all that is past I hope).

Ten Things to Think About Before You Vote

This piece is so insightful and logical its worth saying again, thx AMD

1.     Was it a coincidence that the first lawsuit against UCO filed by Dave Israel’s opponents was filed hours after delegates defeated the recall against Dave by a vote of 161-4, and that we heard nothing (except that the plaintiffs wanted UCO to pay their legal costs) until the latest lawsuit was filed just in time for the Candidates Forum and the March 7 election?

2.   When people file serial lawsuits, disregarding the legal costs to all of us and the insurance premiums that will shoot up (or the carriers who will refuse to cover us because UCO has been sued yet again), why does a candidate for UCO President say, “That’s what insurance is for”? Leadership to call for solving problems in ways other than $5.4 million lawsuits is in order.

3.   If a candidate resorts to vicious accusations like referring to David as  “...just a “piece of human trash,” saying he would have “sold his fellow Jews down the river,” and does not speak out against supporters’ blog posts, like David “is bringing back the Third Reich” and David must be “taken down,”  won’t she govern in the same way?  

4.   On his worst day, David never resorted to religion-tinged taunts or threats. Neither did his supporters.

5.   Five years of study and several years on UCO committees and the Executive Board before David felt prepared to run for office doesn’t compare to a few books and docs on your desk for reference if you’ve never served in UCO at all.

6.   Facts matter. County engineers inspected the paving of the roads  –and the paving passed inspection. David has apologized many times for remaining trouble areas but opponents’ accusations ignore the inspections or denigrate the results.

7.   Hiring PBSO to be sure a potentially explosive budget meeting did not get out of hand isn’t exactly “Gestapo” tactics using “armed guards.”  Many delegates said it was the most productive meeting we’ve had in years.  For Dave’s opponents, PBSO is wrong, the County is wrong, UCO is wrong. Doesn’t leave much room for collaboration and positive thinking.

8.   A candidate who makes a sarcastic comment about David’s post-911 service (…”while you were out saving the world from 911”) insults the victims of 911 and anyone who used his or her skills to help track the perpetrators.

9.   Results matter. Savings to residents from reduced insurance premiums and the Comcast contract, balanced budgets, transparent bid processes, advanced business systems, UCO President’s meetings for input from association leaders, email notifications of minutes, meetings and events to 800 residents opting in, the foundation for Wi-Fi for Internet access at great savings, improved security and streamlined investigations, a record of coordination with state and County officials for the benefit of residents.  And he’s not done.

1.   Vision matters. Full implementation of W-Fi, a new infrastructure project to replace aging water pipes throughout the Village, a new foreclosure project to help associations recover funds -- big ideas for the future, not attacks on the past.

Please support Dave Israel and the slate of candidates he has endorsed.  

VOTE FOR DAVE

As elections approach I want to say that Dave Israel's high personal integrity is the bedrock of our village. He is not seen a great deal in public, he is not out glad handing, but we know he is there for endless hours in UCO and at Delegate meetings. To know him is to have the greatest confidence in anything with which he is associated. He helps every and all associations, mine would have been much poorer without Dave's advice. UCO staff appreciate his outstanding abilities and his willingness to assist with any and all tasks. The hate mail in the village and the malcontents that sue and harass UCO are appalling compared to Dave's honest and responsible character. Elaine Brown Sussex L

If you had worked with and for Dave for four years you would know this too.

WELL DONE, DOM, AND THANK YOU.

When is a retirement not a retirement?

In a very short while Dom Guarnagia's two-year term as UCO vice president will be coming to a close.

Did I say two years? Judging from the amount of work you and Kate have put into this Village, Dom, it seems as if it must have been a much longer time. I understand that you are running for the Executive Board, and—did I hear right?—you may continue working on some construction matters with our CAM? When is a retirement not a retirement? The answer: When you are a UCO volunteer and, most assuredly, when your name is Dom Guarnagia!

I hope you and Kate experience some relief now that your term is ending, Dom. And I hope you know this: There are a great many Century Village residents who appreciate all you have done for us.

In addition to your normal VP duties, you taught those excellent classes on maintenance and upkeep, complete with those handout sheets with your professionally-done color sketches. Our physical plant was your specialty, and how you took that in hand! We will not forget the yeoman work you did for many months (was it over a year?) in not only being a VP, but doing the work of a CAM while we were without one. Unfailingly courteous to all who came to you, you somehow did it all with a smile.

In the March Reporter, prefacing your article on “Things That Do Not Require Permitting” (which you DID suggest we cut out) you wrote: “Most of my articles are informational but in no way worthy of clipping out of the Reporter and keeping for future reference.” Not so, I think. “WERE worthy of being cut out and saved for future reference” is how I would put it.

Thank you, Dom, if I may say so, from a Village full of people much indebted to you.

Win or Lose Damage the Village

Riddle: Question, what is it that no man wants, but no man wants to lose?
Answer: A law suit!

What could be very expensive, make us uninsurable or raise our insurance rates, even if we win? Solomon & Karpf law suits.

Feeling nostalgic see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSF6vuqIA8E for the above.

Vote for the Most Qualified Candidates .. not for obligation

Thanks for the Support and well wishes, " Phone Calls.".. Thank You...PLEASE  it is over...
Go back to voting for the Candidate of you choice,  before the Malcontent Blog Comments...
Funny how those malicious comments  brought me from unknown to much talked about  Exec. Bd. Candidate. Yet,  no mention about my qualities.     I know and you know I would have been an asset to the Board.  Anyway,  It is over... lets all settle down,  and do the correct thing on Election Day..for the benefit of  all Century Village...
Best Wishes and  Good Luck to all the qualified candidates....Warm Regards Frank Leggio

In Century Village UCO, Peace to People of Good Will

To My Friends, Family, and supporters, that have phoned my concerning the unmerited  bashing I have been receiving these last couple of days..  It is over, peace at last..
It all started when I attended a meeting for Candidate Mr. Edward Grossman, CPA.
My presents at this question and answer meeting, was misinterpreted  by Presidential Candidate, Ms. Esther Sutofsly,  presidential committee . I have attended several of these meets, for both sides, so that I could make and educated decision ..
If I have offended either side of the Candidates, by attending these meets, I whole heartily apologize.
 Having said that, I did expect an apology, for all the horrible things said about me in print...
Like I said,  It is over,  and we must forgive and join forces to improve and make our Beautiful Century Village a better place,  for all..

The following are the last posts to a peaceful ending....
Warm Regards, I Remain the unknown Exec Bd. Candidate Frank Leggio

Dear Frank,

You came to the Messinger Club meeting and asked to be put on our slate . You stated you were new in the village, not known hated David Israel. The following day we saw an article written by you on David's blog commenting how wonderful he was. This was a direct contradiction to what you told us at the meeting. We naturally felt you were playing tricks on us. If this is true, I stand by my comment. If it is not true, I apologize to you and will be happy to buy you an espresso with anisette and a touch of lemon.

Best regards,

Olga Caponigro Wolkenstein

   Dear Olga, Let's just end this right here..or maybe over that espresso with anisette and a touch of lemon.
   I went to that meeting to hear Ed Groosman, not to campaign for myself, I told every one I spoke with, that I felt I did not stand a chance to win, for lack of experience. Sorry if I was miss understood... and please, I don't. nor can I hate anyone.... I wish all the candidates the best of luck, and may the best person win... Peace at last, now I can go back to my corner and continue to be "HAPPILY UNKNOWN FOREVER'" I am retired and I intend to stay that way... Bye, Bye, Warm Regards, Frank

Why me!! Why me Esther ?? I am the unknown Exec Bd. Candidate, NOT THE GODFATHER

Esther, Esther, you refer to my "Boss" like in the God Father Movie..I am appalled to think a person in your position running for the highest office in Century Village would resort to name calling, (Tricky Dickster)
When you have a few free moments please feel free to explain that remark.

I was introduced to you by my "Boss"  while attending a question and answer meeting for
Edward Grossman CPA.  We were talking and I told you a little bit about myself..I told you I was running
for the Exec Bd..I also expressed my feeling of being unknown, and that I felt I would not win.  If that is what you call "begging" then I don't know what the word begging means .  I  also would like to know what I did to Dupe you and party.   You also make reference to David Isreal,  in connection with me,  I honestly hope you don't think he is my "Boss" and or he has the power to get me voted into the Exec Bd.
Oh, by the way you also don't have that power. So. by me  "Duping "  you or him, still wouldn't get me on the Exec. Bd.  Can you not see that?
So,  again, when you have a moment, clearly tell me what I did to offend you to merit such  a word bashing, and name calling.  Waiting to hear from you on the "Malcontent Blog".. of which I tried posting this three times without success...  Till then , Warm Regards, you college and running mate, Frank Leggio


Now; as for you Ms. Olga  Walkenstein,  My Dear  "Italian Comare"
What  is wrong with you??   You don't know me nor do I know you...  we have never met of spoken,  how can  you be ashamed of me for bringing  "Disgrace and Dishonor to your heritage"
Please be aware I am an American,  I am running for office in these United States of America.
I proudly served my country USA, in time of war, having said this.  now please tell me what was my deplorable behavior  ..  Did I rape, kill, rob, etc...  Who the blank..... are you  to say, I should never be allowed  to hold office in UCO, because I cannot be trusted.
FYI, if ever I have the power or the control of Century Village, (do to the low level of  candidates)
 (no offense to the good concerned officials) (you know who you are) for office this year, I will make sure Century Village will have outside paid management..

My Dear Sister in God,  Please go back to Italy, and  maybe you will succeed to bash those loving caring people, who also never harmed you... Warm Regars Frank Leggio
P.S.   Mention my winning name, and, you will receive a free cup of  cappuccino, to calm you down..Ciao
!!          Oh, yes, free coffee, without begging..!!..

Some of the follow-on songs look good for our thespians.

PB Outlets

The new mall is so close I expect the Transportation Cmte is getting creative. A mall trip could go twice, and back twice if people do not crowd onto the last return. There are signs that get you back to tour bus parking. Interesting that the hospital advertises in the food court.

 

Ready for an Accountant for Treasurer.

It was a pity some questions were unread at the Forum, ill health can strike anyone anytime

Here is one such question left out

QUESTION: Esther, on 12/24/13 you posted this blog entry:

“ … David Israel and Ed Black nearly bankrupted us.”

Could you please explain how Mr. Israel and Mr. Black nearly bankrupted us, especially since we’ve had 4 years of balanced budgets and clean audits, and we have never been in danger of not paying our bills. And please cite specific instances....

A: ElaineB answer - One scary number was arrived at by adding up all future bills and ignoring future income. Voila! Bankrupt with grandstanding and disruption.

I am so ready for a real accountant for Treasurer. Howard O'Brien has an excellent background and participates calmly and sensibly in UCO meetings.

Howard + Dave's slate will keep us in the green :-)

Deja Vue All Over Again

Were Esther's questions for Dave at the Forum familiar? Yes, they were those vague, general and untrue accusations from the Dave Recall effort, 2012-13, do you remember it was defeated - Retain in Office as UCO President:158, To remove from Office:1, Abstentions:3.

Yes, Mr. Jerry Karpf, Mr. Myron Solomon, and Mr. Ed Grossmans' accusations all over again, those questions were answered thoroughly and completely last year. But if you want more law suits and you have Esther and Olga's blog to invent and embellish your story let's harass Dave and take time and energy away from his work. I think these hostile, angry people have now convinced us that they will never contribute anything to the betterment of the Village. They only put energy and effort into negative campaigns. What a waste these people are and what an expense for the Village. 

Note: for health reasons I do not read the MyVillage malcontent blog

LACKING EXPERIENCE

Hello David
A little humor to take away the stress of the "Candidates Forum" today at the club house.  
Good Luck,  for your upcoming Presidential Election.
 I know I won't make the, Executive Board, because I am a little too unknown, and more importantly,
Like you told Esther, ( at the question and answer segment today)                        

                                       LACKING EXPERIENCE


Best Wishes, Warm Regards, Frank Leggio

Take the Village BACK to ???

- people who are obviously addicted to lawsuits against all of us!

Thx Don, could not say it better, see Law Suit on Part 1 Blog

"Five Million Dollars. Fantastic. More legal bills, to be shared by every CV Homeowner.
I noticed today that the opposition group has finally published their complete "slate", with Executive Board candidate endorsements. With one or possibly two exceptions, every person on this list is a Dave Israel hater, WiFi opponent, UCO lawsuit plaintiff, or rejected former UCO operatives tossed out on their asses in previous elections for being inveterate troublemakers. I have no doubt that most of these people support this new lawsuit.
I urge all Delegates to reject this "slate" in it's entirety, and to pay special attention to the malcontent candidates for Executive Board. These people, if elected, will work to obstruct every project and initiative undertaken by the next Israel Administration, just out of pure spite.
Get out the broom. Make a clean sweep."

Blogspot Limits etc.

Re Richland blog comments in the UCO Reporter. 
1.  There are 3 main blogs in the village, all use Blogspot format with a limit of 100 authors. Our Village Blog reached its limit of 100, therefore we opened Our Village Part 2, this is thoroughly explained on the sidebar of Part 1. (It is not wilfully limited by Mr. Israel.) The third blog MyVillageBlogger has one or two authors + some anonymous, it is censored and sensible comments are not accepted.

2.  I do not think it is a cold war when only one side is mudslinging, name calling, bullying, inventing scandals!  Dave Israel and UCO workers are refusing to be drawn in and continue to work every day to create a common good.

3.  And, WPRF has not changed their rules for campaigning in public areas. Thx for Eva's response in the Feb UCO Reporter.

4.  And, Candidates can campaign at any meeting where they ask and are given permission by the leader of the event.  

Additional info removed, less aggravation.

People Nowadays

Idea for Next Fun Run

Color Vibe Run in WPB this morning, Habitat for Humanity got approx $50 for each entrant. Good going. My nose feels funny.

Thousands of people, the racers went off in waves, still going thru the start after an hour or more. 

They all would want you to vote for Dave so CV will be in good shape in years to come.

Click on photo to enlarge and count people!

Direct Mail

Would you buy something from an infomercial with a good demonstration, maybe once!

Would you buy something from direct mail, with vague promises and no background detail or demo! NO WAY

That is what Esther wants you to do, do not vote for a zero person. Those mailings look like a scam to me.

Camden Pool Gate

After many variations on the gate ate the Camden Pool, they finally have a gate that works well, that is until some jerk decides he doesn't like the way it opens and tries to break the gate. When approached as he is banging the gate trying to break it, he comes out with cussing and jerking off motions. REAL CLASS.
Hey tough guy, Break the gate, get the bill.
It took a long time to get the gates to work properly, various changes made until there was a good gate that will open out without damaging the gate from people opening it the wrong way. The gates are required by the state to keep people safe. mostly for little people otherwise known as children. If you break the gate, you take the chance of the state possibly coming in and closing the pool, and that would only inconvenience all the other residents. All because some idiot doesn't like the way the gate works. He's a suggestion, learn how to open and close a gate. If you aren't intelligent enough, ask a neighbor to give you a hand. Don't act like a lunatic trying to break it, and try acting like an adult, not some tough punk teen. That can only get you results you may not like.

THE GOVERNMENT YOU GET IS THE GOVERNMENT YOU DESERVE - VOTE DAVE ISRAEL FOR PRESIDENT

The final slate for the UCO election in March has been published in this BLOG, A synopsis of my work has also been published - now a few issues arise.

-

I am going to ask you, Delegates all, to return me to Office, I ask this in consideration of four years of solid accomplishments, and promise of more results to come.

-

A key request, is to elect a slate of Officers and Executive Board members who will work with me as President to bring great accomplishments to our Village. Following is my slate of nominees that I would like you to elect to office; in short they have my full endorsement.

-

DAVE ISRAEL'S  SLATE FOR 2014 ELECTION TO OFFICE

PRESIDENT

 David Israel

-

VICE PRESIDENT

     Robert Marshall,

Joy Vestal

   - 

CORRESPONDING SEC'Y

   Pat Sealander

RECORDING SEC'Y

     Phyllis Siegelman

TREASURER

  Howard O'Brien

EXECUTIVE BOARD

     Roberta Boehm-Fromkin,  Ruth Bernhard-Dreiss,   Ken Davis,  George Franklin, David Givens,  Dominic Guarnagia,  Antoinette Salometo,  David Saxon, Lori Torres, Jean Komis.
 

Vote in these folks who come to office to serve, not in opportunistic search of power. It is clear, that Ms. Sutofsky is attempting to pack the Executive Board with obstructive people in order to prevent any forward movement on my programs. Don't let her succeed in this plan.

-

Finally, who should not be elected under any circumstances, and why:

-

1) Esther Sutofsky..... No Experience on Committees or any other organ of UCO Government. Zero record of service to our Village, an opportunist seeking power, not service.

-

2) Jerry Karpf..... Jerry is suing UCO, seeking your Email addresses and $392,000.00 dollars. why would you vote for someone who is suing you??

-

3) Ed Grossman..... Principally known for disrupting our Delegate Assembly meetings and other meetings.  Ed has no record of service to our Village, only a record of disruption. Why would anyone nominate such a person, or vote for him.??

-

4) Olga Wolkenstein..... Like Mr. Grossman, Olga is famous for disruption of the Delegate Assembly and other UCO meetings. In my opinion, she would be naught but a disruptive presence in UCO. She also has no significant record of service to our Village.

There's something bad in the neighborhood

There are ranting emotional mailings going around.

It is just egos having temper tantrums. They are saying anything and claiming anything. What have these people done for us lately - NOTHING. What did they do in the past - caused a lot of damage to the village. Now they think if they talk really fast they can rewrite their miserable histories.

When you look and listen - If it's just noise and anger wrapped in high falutin' principals, but with no productive ideas, we don't need it. UCO is doing a fine job taking care of business and taking care of the Village. Its time for the established residents to let the newer people know the truth of this and not be confused by tantrums.

Valentine

Dave Israel <3 Century Village

Meanwhile:

The do-nothing Stooges accused Dave Israel of being reckless - how ridiculous. Dave researches everything, licenses, insurance, prices, law, reviews entire industries. He is meticulous and perfectionist, he brings in legal opinions and accounting audits and engineering studies and reviews. He also protects us against scammers and cheats. This is just the way he is. If you have ever been on a Dave project committee you will work your socks off.

Welcome Scammers 1

Once upon a time (4+ yrs ago) we had an administration based on closed meetings, misguided loyalty, quid pro quo, very little published info, delayed warnings about bad decisions.

Since then UCO has worked hard on a new level of tight professional vigilance, technology, adherence to the law and bylaws, including Sunshine laws.

Now there is a group that values the old way, they even support people who are suing all of us in the village (lawsuits for fun and profit?). They think they can break any regulations.

We've seen this movie before.... This will make us ripe for plucking again.

Welcome scammers  

Phony Scandals

Obama said "Fox creates endless phony scandals about the White House" we know how you feel Obama. 

The malcontents copy the worst of national politics methods, mudslinging hoping something sticks no matter how wildly inaccurate. Misinformation labelled 'Scandals' . Then they have a band of blockers to stop everything the President wants to do. 

Does the village want to go backwards because of a few mean-spirited egos.

Lost Opportunity thanks to Stupidity and Prejudice.

The upcoming 5K run has lost a great opportunity to really make a difference, all thanks to a few closed minded people. I am speaking of an association that I am personally involved with that was originally invited to participate and was later asked not to.
I am Speaking of The Combat Veterans Association. We were originally asked to take lead on this run. Our groups mission is Vets Helping Vets. We will do various things like riding our motorcycles in support of Veterans causes. Raising money to help Vets and their families and providing assistance when needed.
A good example would be a vet we call Spence. He had a horrific accident vs. a semi. He was in a coma, awoke and when ready to go home, we assisted in making his home handicap accessible, assisted his family to put up Christmas decorations for his homecoming, got him a hospital bed and escorted his homecoming.
We are currently raising money to assist with his medical bills, gave him an electric wheelchair. The latter coming out of my own pocket.
In shunning this fine organization, the run lost out on as much as a thousand dollars in donations.
Shame to you closed and little minded people that didn't want motorcycles or as I heard it put, "a motorcycle gang" involved in such a good cause.
The Combat Veterans Association is a legitimate not for profit group of Veterans and their families that HELP Vets. I am disgusted at this and although I do not blame it's organizers nor WPRF, I have asked to be removed from the assignment of photographing and writing the story for the Reporter and was initially denied. The story has been reassigned now, and now I choose to completely boycott the event. It is shameful that this is an event for Vets, and Vets were left out because of a few ignorant BIG MOUTHS.
My apologies to it's organizers as this is not meant to be a reflection of their fine work, but for me, I choose to remain distant from the stupidity and prejudice of the naysayers. Good luck.

Spence's Homecoming 5-6 months after his accident just in time for Christmas.

It is Century Village policy to not allow dogs, except for companion animals approved by doctors. Here's another reason to revisit the "no dogs aloud" policy: They can be trained to smell cancer based on their master's breath.

in passing.

The man I considered my step-father, Joseph Barrios Sr. passed away 1st February. A kind and generous soul. He had been ill for some time, but had only recently took a turn for the worst and was admitted to Good Sam. He went to SICU a couple days later then to Hospice a few days after that.
When the VA would only offer large breeds for my service dog, Joseph went with me and picked Sadie, my miniature schnauzer as my service dog and she went into training a couple months later.
Sadie, who turned two today, stayed by his side until he passed.

UCO Reporter Deliveries

Have you received your copies of the Feb UCO Reporter, as of Friday I know several associations that have not. Call your management company if you do not have copies, this is an important Issue. Do not miss the President's State of the Village on pA3.

It shows that 4 years of Dave Israel's patience and steadfast integrity have resulted in congenial, cooperative and productive business relationships with WPRF's Mark Levy and Eva Rachesky, County Government, and law enforcement.

Do you remember those who are spewing hate at Dave now - used to spew and sue the Levys. Got us nowhere and cost us a bunch. Remember.

Endless adversarial beatings are not a management technique for paradise.
