NEWPORT, Ore. -- Question: Where do you put old grenades?
Answer: Down.
Three people flagged down a Newport Police Officer around 1:15 p.m.on Feb. 20 as he pulled into the police station and asked him where they could could rid of explosives.
The officer wasn't sure if there was a local option, but he asked what type of explosives.
Two World War II era grenades, they told him.
Where are they? the officer asked.
Right here, they said, holding out two small cardboard containers."

California Bar B Q's
Do you guys remember the Bar B Q's every Saturday and Sunday up and down the coast of California... Ventura, Santa Barbra, Pismo and North... In Bakersfield?
Bob Dean and I got to reminiscing about that. Guess what? Bobby used to do that Bar B Q thing with tri-tip for his company picnic every year (100 people)... He even has the deluxe smoker with the automatic wood feed to give optimum smoke.... I said, "That would be a real money maker for the Social Club Treasury". Bobby agreed.
In fact, Bob did more than agree. He purchased two tri-tips and smoked them in front of his garage. It took about 3 hours to do them both. I can only imagine the agony that brought his neighbors. So, you think you are a bar b q champ? Or maybe you would like to see a master prepare and smoke this wonder? Bob is going to have a trial run on this operation this summer... He is going to need help... Or maybe you can show him how it is really done? Regardless, this may become a bimonthly event if you support it.
I did my part ... Bob asked me to try a tritip sandwich from the latest bunch... It would make a cannibal out of the most dedicated vegetarian... He cut it in half so I could share it with Jacky... It never made it home...brrrp!
Fair warning... he intends to smoke the meat on the clubhouse patio and.....put a fan behind it so the smoke will blow over the entire community... If you don't buy a sandwich you will just have to suffer.
Help asked in a previous post....
Thought you would like to know.... In a previous post we appealed to you for help ... Asked for some to come forward and help folks that can't change a light bulb anymore and other small chores ... Small tasks but just beyond physical capabilities... Remember? Larry Henson made an appeal through me? Well 3 did come forward ... Same old 3... Could have told you before who they would be.... We have approximately 265 residents.. About 65 are elderly single ladies. If you should experience a change of heart please let Larry Henson (manager) know you will help when you can.

New Television in the Clubhouse!
This TV was extremely heavy and so was the old one. Both were moved by the 5 men in the park who we count on to help with so many things and most of you never know just who they are. You see the new item in place and start using it without thinking much about who the people were behind the scenes. They never ask for kudos from the rest of us and would probably be embarrassed to receive them but, it is fitting that you all know who they are and thank them the next time you see them in passing.... By then they will have done another couple of projects that you may never hear about I'm sure. Our community is blessed to have Wayne Hill, Wayde Dudley, Bill Furgason, Frank Stout and Jim Rose. They are our treasure.... Praise them a lot.
Bobby Dean is already thinking about the Sports night at the clubhouse... Guys gather your beer and we will be making hot dogs and chips. Maybe even peanuts to shuck and throw on the floor....
Jacky Thomas is thinking Chick Flick night..... in full surround sound...
I would like to see Tom Cruise in Top Gun fly off the carrier in surround sound... a guy movie.
John Spangler is excited about the many videos the Fishing Club has that they can now watch at meetings.
Phun! Phun! Coming to a clubhouse near you soon.
Project needed to make this even better. Industrial strength casters to move this big boy around. Anybody up for that?

an email from John Spangler
I know you all might know this, but I didn't and was glad to find it out.
FIRST, MANY PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF **The main difference between http:// and
https:// is It's all about keeping you secure**
HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of
saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for info rmation
to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients. The important
thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS.
The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit a website or webpage,
and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the
following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular
'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to
"eavesdrop"20on your computer's conversation with the website. If y ou fill
out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to
that site.
This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http website!
But if the web address begins with https:/ /, that basically means your
computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can
eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important, right?
If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should
automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it
doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a
credit card number.

Help!
Hi Ron,
editor comment:
Folks there used to be a group that did this. Now they have grown older or passed on and can't do this anymore. We rely on the influx of younger people to take the places of these heroes. Would you volunteer to be in such a group? The pay is awful... $0 but the light in the eyes of those helped is pretty darn neat. Just tell Larry you would like to help...

Time is Relentless...
It seems as your time goes forward your health slowly inches backward. In this community you become acutely aware of this.. Not so much in a traditonal neighborhood where there are children and younger adults.
Time has come for newer and mostly younger residents in our little community to take on the mantle of leadership in community activities. I watch our older citizens enjoying a social gathering at the clubhouse and wonder about the dynamics of various groups... The old timers eventually move from committees and leaders to enjoying their community as ordinary citizens and the younger folks take up the positions of leadership and work and move forward. So it has been, and hopefully will be into the future.
Sometimes the community experiences a void as one group of leaders move out and none replace them. It has happened here and probably will again. After a time someone will ask, "Why don't we do this or that?" Then we are off to the races as new interactions take hold and new and modified old ideas come forward.
This time is coming to LVH again as the Social Club gears up to find community leaders for next year's officers. Every year we experience this and every year not many want to volunteer. This year has found me slowing down health wise and as a result many of my activities have not been done as well as I had wished. Jacky too has got a case of the "tireds". We aren't bailing out but we are asking more of you to consider helping.. We may not be doing a lot of the things we have always done but will still help when we can...
I look to past experience and cite here Betty Hanus.. She has been with the Social Club for about 14 years and has helped all that time and volunteered at the aquarium too. How long can she give herself away? I don't know but I suspect less. So it is with everyone of us.
Attend meetings, plan activities and serve your community .. a good thing to do.
