"RESIDENT COMES TO THE RESCUE"Thanks to LVH's resident Leanard Johnson, Midge got the help she needed. She spent money from her own pocket to clean a common area and rented a tractor and other equipment for Leanard to use to remove the Ivy on the back side of her fence along the path that goes between the houses. Thank you so much Leanard for being a good neighbor and helping Midge and oh ya, Sally Volk was right along helping. Thank you to both of you, great job!

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter-
ten men and one woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all,
so they decided that one had to leave,
because otherwise they were all going to fall.
They weren't able to name that person,
until the woman gave a very touching speech.
She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope,
because, as a woman, she was used to giving up
everything for her husband and kids, or for men in general,
and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.
As soon as she finished her speech,
all the men started clapping their hands.....

"LONGVIEW HILLS RESIDENT TAKES 1ST PLACE"Frank Stout went to Sacramento last week to compete in the Pacific Flyway Decoy competition and Jack Scherer asked me to let you know how my decoy fared. The PFDA show is one of the major competitions in the county and there were entries from all over the nation as well as some from Japan and Great Britain. I was very surprised and pleased that my decoy took first place in the species competition as well as Best of Show in the floating decorative marsh ducks competition.
If you click on the Longview Hills Fishing Club Icon at the left hand coloum you will see some of the outstanding fish carvings done at the show. WOW!

Donna Davi
Donna DaviOur good friend Donna Davi passed away today. She was known throughout the community as a social person who was involved with all the activities here. Donna loved cards and has cooked many meals at different events for park folks.
Some of you were taught classes by her on the computer and we all knew her as a giving, caring person.
She was treasurer of the Social Club for 2 years doing a splendid job for them.
Donna loved living here and seeing the beautiful ocean view from her livingroom.
Many of her life stories will live on with us as we mark her passing with a smile and a tear.
We have a special place set aside in our hearts where she now abides.
One day we expect we will meet again.
Goodbye Donna,
We knew and loved you.
Ron and Jacky Thomas
Donna Davi...
You all want to know about the funerary arangements for Donna...
Donna will be cremated and there will be no viewing. The family has already done that.
As we sat by her bed a few days ago she told us of how it was her wish that a Celebration of Life be held at the clubhouse with no somber faces and music and bright decorations. We were to have a good time and remember her that way.
The family will do just that at some future date and all of you will be invited.
But for now they need to rest from the ordeal they have been through.

LIVING WITHOUT ELECTRICTY
Day 6 has arrived - still no electric - last night I washed clothes in the sink by hand and hung them outside to dry. Needless to say with temperature reaching 94 degrees drying was not a problem.
Today was like most any other day except the temperature is 102 with a heat index of 115 degrees. Weather man is forecasting storms tonight – maybe it will cool things off some. Wednesday night storm comes through with 85 MPH straight line wind, trees down on power lines, lighting strikes on transformers: power is out.
Thursday AM, power is still out and the temperature today is forecasted to reach 104 degrees. I must stay home from work no place to take the kids – babysitter power is out also. Went to the store to purchase some ice everything is sold out in the entire north county area. Most all the restaurants are closed and only a couple grocery stores are running on generators. Batteries, ice, generators and hotel room are either non existent or at such a price one can not afford.
Today is Monday going on the 5th day without power? We have learned to cope. Thank goodness I have a gas grill. I cooked all the meat in the freezer and drove 30 miles to get ice to keep it from spoiling. The temperatures have dropped down into the 90’s but are projected to rise again this week. Trash companies are making special pickup for all the spoiled food people are disposing.
Some positives things that came out of this situation are: All the refrigerators and freezers are sparkling clean waiting to be turned back on. We are not going hungry though I became creative in cooking and the kids learned to like some food they would not touch before. They also survived without TV or video games and found that playing in the sprinklers is not so bad. It was peaceful setting in the dark and relaxing. – I couldn’t do much house work without electricity. Showering in cold water is refreshing. Most of all we are blessed not to have damage to our home.
What I did learn is one must be prepared before a disaster strikes not reacting after it occurs. When things get back to normal I will take the list I made of the items I needed and didn’t have and purchase those items for the next time.

The drug cuts build up of a key protein
Scientists have developed a once-a-day pill that they hope could potentially cure Alzheimer's disease.
Tests in mice have shown the drug, PBT2, prevents build up of the amyloid protein linked to the disease.
Protein levels dropped by 60% within 24 hours of a single dose, and memory performance improved within five days."

Well, that's the promise being made by an upstart automaker — in Silicon Valley, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone.
