EXCEPTION: The 2nd Monday trip is to Lake Worth Beach, leaving at 9:30 a.m. and returning by 2:30 p.m. This is a big
bus holding 48 passengers. The July trip is on July 14th.
The Wednesday bus normally goes to City Place at 10 a.m. and continues on to Gardens Mall, arriving about 10:30 a.m.
This bus leaves the Gardens Mall at 1:30 p.m. and picks up at City Place about 2 p.m. For July, this trip is on July 2nd, 9th,
16th, and 30th.
EXCEPTION: The 4th Wednesday trip is to Delray, leaving at 9:30 a.m. and returning by 2:30 p.m. The destination is the
Carnival Flea Market, and Beall’s Outlet is within walking distance.
This 48 passenger bus is usually full, so it makes sense to arrive between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. to be sure of getting a seat.
When you receive this issue of the UCO Reporter, you may be able to catch the June 25th trip to Delray. Or, mark your
calendar for the July 23rd trip (remember, it’s the 4th week, not the last week).

of “Love.” Some of these
stamps were combined with
others related to weddings.
The first in the series of
Love stamps was released in
1973 with a set of two stamps
featuring the work of Pop Art-
ist Robert Indiana, whose
iconic design of “Love” has
appeared in a wide variety of
settings. The 37¢ and 60¢
stamps show designs of hearts.
This year’s Love stamps
show an oversized heart being
transported by its owner to this
unseen beloved, conveying the
message that a heart filled with
love could be a gift to one’s
beloved, rather than the usual
flowers or candy.
At the same time, there
will be a pair of wedding
stamps reissued from last
year (2007) design featuring
vines that form the shape of
a heart created especially for
mailing wedding invitations
and RSVPs.
The wedding stamps come
in two denominations (42¢ for
one ounce and 59¢ for two
ounces). Each one ounce
stamp is intended for use on
the RSVP envelope often en-
closed with the wedding invi-
tation. The two ounce stamp
accommodates the heavier
weight of the wedding invita-
tion with enclosures.
The art work on the 2008
hearts stamps was created
by Nancy Stahl, who based
her designs on a wide range
of intertwined objects, in-
cluding silver charms and
garden gates.
In 2006, the main design il-
lustrated a pair of love birds
nesting together, colored blue
to signify happiness and ful-
fillment.
In 2004, the Postal Service
issued a 37¢ love stamp de-
picting two overlapping candy
hearts, one imprinted with “I”

Simply stated, the loan is based on your age and the value of your home. (Example) If your current age is 67 and you have a
home value of approximately $180,000. This program would give you around $115,026, as either a line of credit, a lump
sum or regular monthly payments. More importantly… NO repayment is required during your lifetime or your spouse’s lifetime
as long as you use the home as your primary residence. You can stay in your home as long as you choose to live there without
ever making another loan payment.

A Brief History of Reverse Mortgages - In the 1980’s AARP lobbied Congress to create a program whereby Seniors could turn
some of their home’s equity into cash. In 1989, Congress created HUD’s Reverse Mortgage program. Essentially the US
government backs a loan that you do not have to pay back in your lifetime. The balance of the loan is paid by your estate. You
have worked all your life to own your home. Now you have the opportunity to use some of that equity in your Golden Years and
share your networth with those you love, without incurring any new monthly payments.
There are no income requirements or qualifications and there are no payments for the loan, as long as you live in your home as
your primary residence. Your heirs will receive 100% of the remaining equity after the loan is paid off. To qualify, you must be a
homeowner 62 years or older. Condominiums, townhomes, duplexes and triplexes also qualify for this loan.
This special type of mortgage is available only to seniors and allows you to access the CNBC’s Suze Orman says…

A RESPONSE
TO HOGWASH
I wish to take issue with the contents of an ad inserted by Ben Graber in the UCO Reporter.
Mr. Graber attempts to replace our Congressman, Robert Wexler.
The ad is headlined: “Wexler Takes Risk with World Jewry!” Following that headline, Mr.
Graber picks and chooses, misquotes and misinterprets, any and all of Congressman Wexler’s
remarks related to his backing Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama. He casts doubts on
the Congressman’s true motives by saying, “Wexler has embraced some of Israel’s enemies,
such as Palestinian National Authority President Yasser Arafat and has supported major sanctions
of the Israelis in negotiations.”
Mr. Graber’s intention in publishing his ad are two-fold:
He wishes to gain votes in his race for Congressman Wexler’s position by painting him “not
quite pro-Israel.”
Let me respond to this first: All these years, our Congressman has been a true friend of Israel,
always working for the Jewish State and its security. I served as an officer in the Israeli army for
quite a number of years and I cannot imagine anybody whom I would trust more where Israel’s
security is concerned.
The other reason for this ad is to subtly influence Jewish voters to either not vote if Senator
Obama is the Democratic candidate, or — heaven forbid — even vote for another Bush term,
this time by a Bush clone.
Which is really not surprising: I first learned about Mr. Graber’s intention to challenge
Congressman Wexler from a news item in The Palm Beach Post, which also mentioned that
originally, he thought to run as a Republican. No denial ever appeared in the newspaper. He is
now running as a N.P.A. (No Party Affiliation).
The question whether to speak to one’s enemies constitutes a dilemma for the United States.
As for Israel: It would not be the first time should Israel decide to negotiate with its enemies.
How else could there have been peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan?
How else would Israel try to find a solution to the Palestinian problem, if not by maintaining
contacts with Arafat’s successor? And now we learn about negotiations with Syria.
What is acceptable to the goose — ought to be acceptable to the gander — in this case, the
United States.
Not speaking with Iran? OK — what is the alternative? Another Iraq? Iran’s sphere of influence
has been greatly enhanced, thanks to Bush-Cheney and now also covers the Shiites in Iraq and
Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Surely attempts should be considered to resolve a situation, which easily could deteriorate
into considerably more bloodshed within a much larger segment of the Middle East.
As to the elections to Congress: We know what’s good for us and we know who to rely on
where Israel’s security is concerned: We shall reelect Robert Wexler.
