Need Help Gary?

Gary Olman, Do you actually read the UCO Reporter, or do you just glance at the names of the writer and ignore whatever is written? You complain the David Israel appointed Anitra to "explain"  the Florida condo laws..


 You state: "She has been tasked to explain the Florida Condo Laws. I don't think Rick Scott could do a credible job on that. But the Wizard of OZ thinks Anitra has the credentials to explain  these Condo Laws. So much for his choice of a font of knowledge"
BUT if you took the time to actually read the article, you would see that the only thing there is THE ACTUAL LAW AS WRITTEN. 
Maybe a new pair of glasses is in order, or maybe someone could read it to you. 
If your vision is that bad, give a call, I'd be happy to read it for you. 
You really need to stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Get with it... Get involved.


    1. First, Yes, this IS NSA territory... ALL of the USA is NSA territory. That's why it's called the National Security Agency. The National Security Agency (NSA) is a U.S. intelligence agency responsible for global monitoring, collection, decoding, translation and analysis of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes - a discipline known as Signals intelligence (SIGINT). NSA is also charged with protection of U.S. government communications and information systems against penetration and network warfare. (from Wikipedia) That being put aside, it really shouldn't matter what one did before they retired and moved here. Just because someone was truck driver doesn't mean they can drive safely. Not every Army soldier goes around shooting Howitzers. Not every teacher can teach. (this is not meant as a personal affront, just an example, I do have respect for the writer of the NSA comment, I just do not agree with it). now on to ... the rest of the story...
    How can people ever get with it and up to date on technology if someone doesn't tell them how or show them first? The following comments were made when Lanny asked about getting channel 63 on his computer... "This is how you access it, isn't it? I downloaded the thing--now what do I do to GET the 63 programming to show? Perhaps I'd better bring my laptop PC to someone to be shown? Until now I've only ever watched 63 on the TV."   Of course there are many in the Village that do not know how to access anything on a computer simply because they have never learned. 
  1. Much of the uncertainty and yes, even ignorance of technology leads to fear and paranoia that someone will be watching what you say or do. This works well in backwards or underdeveloped countries, but shouldn't here in the USA.  I especially like Carol's comment "having the cameras at the gates is good..." but ..."having the cameras broadcast out over the internet is sickening. Now people can watch the cameras to see when you go out and when you return..."  Having the cameras on the gate ARE a good thing. You can see when your guests arrives, and should some illegal activity occur, the Police have visual documentation of a suspected criminal entering or leaving the village. 
  2. Security of the village is the responsibility of every resident. You can't just hire a security firm and forget it... They will hire whoever they can get to work as cheaply as possible (No offense intended to residents that work for the Security firms). It is convenient for many to work where they live, and they have a vested interest in the security of our village. 
  3. People complain about the lack of security in the village, but when something happens and they are questioned by the police, many of them are the same ones that may say "I don't want to get involved..." WAKE UP!!!  Face the fact that if you really want to be secure, you have to get involved. I recently saw a small documentary that showed how people played loud music and their homeowners association member were quick to knock on their doors and call police for "noise violations". A few days later, same unit played LOUD audio of domestic violence. Loud shouting, sounds of a man beating a woman, her screams. They played it for a pretty long time then went outside... not a single person on the street, not a single call to the police. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED.  Says a lot... Don't let that happen here...don't just fly away.
  4. (stealing from Paul Harvey...) and that's the rest of the story....good day!
