Identity Theft: Security and Privacy While Banking and Buying Online


_{Donna Talarski}



You’re banking and credit account numbers, your social security number, and your address and telephone number are the types of information that define your identity. Online banking and e-commerce have done wondrous things for consumer productivity and convenience. Protection of this type of information has always been critically important, even in the offline, paper world, and long before widespread use of computers or the advent of the web. Yet in our more interconnected, digital world of bits and bytes and rapid data exchange, this type of information is also more vulnerable to unauthorized access and subsequent theft. Consider this:
Most recent estimates sow that identity theft – on line and off line – has affected one in eight U.S. adults.
Americans reported losses of $437 million in 2003 to identity theft and fraud scams.

How Can Consumers Protect Themselves?
Properly dispose of credit card statements and offers by shredding.
Before providing identity information online make sure the site is endorsed by trusted seal issuers such as VeriSign or TRUSTe.
Never give out personal information on the phone, through the mail, or over the Internet unless you’ve initiated contact or are sure of you know who you’re dealing with.
When browsing online, ensure that any program or add-in is downloaded from a trusted source with a valid security certificate.
Use firewall technologies and keep anti-virus and security software current.
Regularly update operating system software to ensure you are running the most current version.
Consumers with cable modems or digital subscriber line (DSL) Internet access should protect their home networks by adding routers equipped with firewalls.

It Helps to get all the Facts before making a Decision

TWO TOUGH QUESTIONS

Question 1:

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?


Read the next question before looking at the answer for this one.



Question 2:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates.


Candidate A -

Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists.
He's had two Mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.


Candidate B -

He was kicked ou t of office twice, sleeps until

noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.


Candidate C -

He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.



Which of these candidates would be your Choice?

Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.



----------------------------------------------




Candidate A: is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B: is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C: is Adolph Hitler.


And, by the way, the answer to the abortion question: If you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.

Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.

Never be afraid to try something new.

Remember:

Amateurs built the Ark

Professionals built the Titanic



and in case you never saw this one..! ....

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?




Give up yet?





It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Friday Funnies

Friday Funnies – I’m Fine

Farmer Joe decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company responsible for the accident to court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe.

"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the lawyer. Farmer Joe responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the..."

"I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?".
Farmer Joe said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road..."

The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."

By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say."

Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ol' Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans."

"Shortly after the accident, a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes."

"Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, 'Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her.'" Then he said, 'How are YOU feeling?'

FOOD FOR THOUGHT


_{Donna Talarski}



Lovely Rose at 87

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us
to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around
when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a
smile that lit up her entire being. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is
Rose.

I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave
me a giant squeeze.

"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and
have a couple of kids..."

"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be
taking on this challenge at her age.

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!"
she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate
milkshake.

We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would
leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to
this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made
friends wherever she went.

She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her
from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football
banquet.

I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to
the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her
three by five cards on the floor.

Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and
simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this
whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just
tell you what I know."

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing
because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving
success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a
dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do
one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven
years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn
eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea
is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for
things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with
regrets."

She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our
daily lives.

At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those
years ago.

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the
wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all
you can possibly be.

When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to
your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

"Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you
know they are always there."

NEEDED FUND RAISER COORDINATOR




Fund Raiser Coordinator

LVH needs to fill this position. You ask why another coordinator? The residents will soon be placed in a position of replacing needed furniture or equipment at the clubhouse. Since we have no governing body to impose fees on residents the Social Club is proactively trying to raise money to build a fund to be readily available when the need occurs. Bill Hanus was able to secure for the LVH Social Club, Izzys coupon books to sell.

This is a win-win situation. We will sell the books for $5.00 they are a $50.00 value at Izzys, $4.00 dollars will go to local charities such as Samaritan House, Food Share etc. and $1.00 of the profit stays with the LVH residents. At first glance this doesnt sound like much, but we are looking at this being a long-term project. When we sell 1,000 books that is $1,000 dollars in our coffers and better yet $4,000 to donate. When you see Bill Hanus give him a pat on the back and a hand shake for all his tenacious work.

Now to the subject at hand: we need someone who will lead this project. Bill has done the groundwork and will work with Izzys to get the books. We already have several folks willing to be helpers. However, we need someone organized and detailed to coordinate the receipt of money and process the orders. We will have many people involved in the selling. Call me at 265-5530 for further details. This is a worthwhile cause.

FOR ALL YOU CAT LOVERS!!!!!




A cat dies and goes to Heaven. God meets him at the gate and says, "You have been a good cat all of these years. Anything you desire is yours, all you have to do is ask."

The cats says, "Well, I lived all my life with a poor family on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors."

God says, "Say no more." And instantly, a fluffy pillow appears.

A few days later, 6 mice are killed in a tragic accident and they go to Heaven. God meets them at the gate with the same offer that He made the cat. The mice said, "All our lives we've had to run. Cats, dogs and even women with brooms have chased us. If we could only have a pair of roller skates, we wouldn't have to run anymore."

God says, "Say no more." And instantly, each mouse is fitted with a beautiful pair of tiny roller skates.

About a week later, God decides to check and see how the cat is doing. The cat is sound asleep on his new pillow. God gently wakes him and asks, "How are you doing? Are you happy here?"

The cat yawns and stretches and says, "Oh, I've never been happier in my life. And those Meals on Wheels you've been sending over are the best!"

WHAT IS ALL THAT POINTING ABOUT?????

Find A Cure Stamps!





Please read the following story and follow the instructions at the end!
Thanks.


Like most elementary schools, it was typical to have a parade of
students in and out of the health clinic throughout the day. We
dispensed ice for bumps and bruises, Band-Aids for cuts, and liberal
doses of sympathy and hugs. As
principal, my office was right next door to the clinic, so I often
dropped in to lend a hand and help out with the hugs. I knew that
for some kids, mine might be the only one they got all day.


One morning I was putting a Band-Aid on a little girl's scraped
knee. Her blonde hair was matted, and I noticed that she was
shivering in her thin little sleeveless blouse. I found her a warm
sweatshirt and helped her pull it on.
"Thanks for taking care of me," she whispered as she climbed into my
lap and snuggled up against me.


It wasn't long after that when I ran across an unfamiliar lump under
my arm. Cancer, an aggressively spreading kind, had already invaded
thirteen of my lymph nodes. I pondered whether or not to tell the
students about my diagnosis. The word breast seemed so hard to say
out loud to them, and the word cancer seemed so frightening. When
it became evident that the children were going to find out one way
or another, either the straight scoop from me or possibly a garbled
version from someone else, I decided to tell them myself. It wasn't
easy to get the words out, but the empathy and concern I saw in
their faces as I explained it to them told me I had made the right
decision When I gave them a chance to ask questions, they mostly
wanted to know how they could help. I told them that what I would
like best would be their letters, pictures and prayers. I stood by
the gym door as the children solemnly filed out. My little blonde
friend darted out of line and threw herself into my arms. Then she
stepped back to look up into my face. "Don't be afraid, Dr. Perry,"
she said earnestly, "I know you'll be back because now it's our turn
to take care of you."


No one could have ever done a better job. The kids sent me off to my
first chemotherapy session with a hilarious book of nausea remedies
that they had written. A video of every class in the school singing
get-well songs accompanied me to the next chemotherapy appointment.
By the third visit, the nurses were waiting at the door to find out
what I would bring next.


It was a delicate music box that played "I Will Always Love You."
Even when I went into isolation at the hospital for a bone marrow
transplant, the letters and pictures kept coming until they covered
every wall of my room.


Then the kids traced their hands onto colored paper, cut them out
and glued them together to make a freestanding rainbow of helping
hands. "I feel like I've stepped into Disneyland every time I walk
into this room," my doctor
laughed. That was even before the six-foot apple blossom tree
arrived adorned with messages written on paper apples from the
students and teachers. What healing comfort I found in being
surrounded by these tokens of their caring.


At long last I was well enough to return to work. As I headed up the
road to the school, I was suddenly overcome by doubts. What if the
kids have forgotten all about me? I wondered, What if they don't
want a skinny bald principal? What if . . . I caught sight of the
school marquee as I rounded the bend. "Welcome Back, Dr. Perry," it
read. As I drew closer, everywhere I looked were pink ribbons -
ribbons in the windows, tied on the doorknobs, even up in the trees.
The children and staff wore pink ribbons, too.


My blonde buddy was first in line to greet me. "You're back, Dr.
Perry, you're back!" she called. "See, I told you we'd take care of
you!" As I hugged her tight, in the back of my mind I faintly heard
my music box playing . . "I
will always love you."

TIME CHANGE

IDENTITY THEFT WORKSHOP HAS A NEW TIME

3:00 PM ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6TH

---

IDENTITY THEFT


Longview Hill residents have the opportunity to attend a workshop on February 6th, 1:30 PM at the clubhouse, to hear a speaker from the Justice Department State of Oregon on how to avoid identity theft.

Normally the state requires a guaranteed attendance and larger groups, before they will send out a speaker. However, we were able to tie this date to another obligations already scheduled by the state with the Chamber of Newport. I encourage all residents to attend. You will receive advise, handouts, and solutions, to prohibit someone from stealing your identity. If you are unfortunate enough to have your identity stolen, you will be offered solutions to assist you in the process of regaining.

Since identity theft is the fastest growing scam in America and seniors are oftentimes the targets: we must be armed with all the available defenses. Don’t miss this one time opportunity to hear the facts and get the answers to your questions.

SCAMS

GP Information Technology has seen a significant increase recently in e-mail scams that lead to fraudulent Web sites, which then steal personal or financial information.

If you receive an e-mail from a financial organization like Citibank or PayPal, do not click on the link or provide any information. Although it may appear as though the e-mail address and Web site are valid, this is a scam that, in addition to stealing your personal information, could also infect your computer with a virus.

If you receive an e-mail from a bank or financial organization asking you to verify your information, do not click on the link or fill in any personal or confidential information. Instead, call their customer service number to confirm and validate any needed information.

Here are some clues that an e-mail may be fraudulent:
· The e-mail requests personal or financial information. Legitimate organizations do not obtain sensitive information through e-mail.
· The Web site it references is not secure. A Web site that begins with “http://” is not secure. The address must begin with “https://”, or the site must have a lock in the bottom right corner of the screen.
· The e-mail has inappropriate text, characters or misspelled words in the subject or body.
· Most fraudulent e-mails seen at GP include the words “verify” or “verification” in the subject.

If you receive an e-mail that appears to be a scam, delete the e-mail immediately.

THIS MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED FROM GEORGIA PACIFIC HEADQUARTERS IN ATLANTA. THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ALL COMPUTER USERS.

SOCIAL MEETING NOTES

LVH Social Club Minutes - January 19, 2004

The January 2004 Social Club meeting was called to order at 4pm on Jan.
19th, at the clubhouse, by chairman, Donna Talarski. 16 residents were in
attendance.

The chairman reported that the minutes from the previous meeting in November
2003 had been posted on the bulletin board for 2 months and would not be
read.

OLD BUSINESS

Donna Talarski discussed the PCH meeting that was held at the clubhouse
recently and said she was unaware, at the time she booked the meeting, that
there would be only one topic of helpful information discussed and the other
two topics were basically a solicitation by PCH for money. She said another
meeting given by PCH was due in April, and she would check first to make
sure it was not a solicitation and would be helpful, informative topics for
the majority of residents, before booking.

Donna also reminded those present that the Oregon Dept. of Justice would
hold a meeting at the clubhouse at 1:30pm on Feb. 2nd, to discuss fraud and
identity theft, and the State Contractor's Board would host a workshop here
on March 17th at 2:00pm on "How to Choose a Contractor" and other related
subjects.

The subject of "Movie Night at the Clubhouse" was tabled for now.

Discussion ensued about the repair and replacement of chairs in the
clubhouse. Don Newman reported that Costco does not have the same kind of
chairs. Don offered to purchase some type of colored pens to spruce up some
of the chairs. Jim Hart suggested it was Management's responsibility to fix
and replace the chairs, not the Social Club's responsibility. Donna Davi
reported that a chair had collapsed under Bill Furgason at Pinochle the
previous Thursday evening, and that he fell hard onto the floor. Ben and
Donna Davi offered to talk with Larry Henson to determine ownership of the
chairs and will report back to the club at next month's meeting.

Donna Talarski gave an update on the "Izzy's" coupon book fund raiser that
had been discussed previously. Izzy's does not feel that LVH Social Club is
a non-profit charitable organization and does not want to fund our "social
club". Bill Hanus has attempted, via 2 letters, to explain to Izzy's, the
charitable contributions LVH residents have made and has tried to come to
some compromise to work with Izzy's. As of this date, there has been no
response from the restaurant.

Joy Newman asked if another restaurant might be willing to work with LVH.
Ben Davi suggested we try to register with the State of Oregon as a
non-profit charitable organization. Jim Hart and Betty Hanus responded that
the LVH Social Club is already registered as a non-profit organization, but
not a non-profit charity.

Donna Talarski reported that she and Betty Hanus would give a report on the
budget in April, covering expenses over the previous 9 months, to determine
if the amounts budgeted were in line with actual expenses. Another report
will be given in July before the new officers assume responsibility for the
club.

Donna also reported on the progress of a US flag for the clubhouse. After
researching costs involved, Donna gave two options to Larry Henson: a
self-standing flag pole with flag ($400) and a flag anchored to the building
with a bracket ($200). Larry faxed the information to Brian and he agreed to
pay 1/2 of the cost of option #2, up to $100. The Social Club will pay the
other half. Bill Furgason will donate the labor and work with Larry Henson
to determine placement of the flag, etc. The flag itself is also being
donated. Don Newman suggested that a painted flag pole should not be
purchased, due to high maintenance. A motion was offered, seconded and
passed, to proceed with the purchase and installation of the flag.

NEW BUSINESS

It was determined that the monthly "Birthday Celebration" for all residents
will be held at the clubhouse on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 2pm. This
information will regularly be placed on the monthly activities calendar by
Bill Holt.

Elaine Adkins, Editor of the LVH newsletter, asked if residents who are not
currently living in the park, and want the newsletter mailed to them each
month, are responsible for paying their own postage or if the Social Club
was responsible for postage. It was determined after discussion by those
present, that the person requesting the newsletter should be responsible for
providing a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the editor for each
newsletter they wish mailed to them.

Elaine requested that if possible, all articles for the newsletter be
emailed to her at ceadkins@charter.net.

Ingrid Muhlstein made it known that she is interested in hitching a ride to
go shopping with anyone going up to Beaverton for the day. It was suggested
that this information be placed in the next newsletter.

Donna Talarski reiterated that Bette Owens and Kathy Furgason would try to
put together some day trips for residents in the spring and summer.

Discussion ensued about the great success of the Adopt A Family program at
Christmas time, undertaken by residents of LVH.

Chairman Donna advised that a person is needed to chair a Decorating
Committee for the clubhouse. A notice will be placed in the next newsletter.

Kathy Furgason showed a sample of what information was given to new
residents at LVH, by the Welcoming Committee. She also announced that after
a year's service, the Rose's and the Furgason's would be stepping down from
the committee and Jack & Ginny Scherer would be taking over that
responsibility as of January 20th.

Kathy Furgason asked for discussion about the Social Club purchasing an
artificial Christmas tree for the clubhouse, due to the cost and maintenance
each year of a live tree. Pros and cons were discussed and then Bill Hanus
suggested that we table the discussion until later in the year.

Donna Davi presented a motion that two new microwaves be purchased for the
clubhouse as the current ones do not meet the needs of our kitchen when we
have large functions. Jacky Thomas had reported to Donna Talarski that she
and Ron priced good, 1000-1200 watt microwaves for under $100. Jackie Memoli
offered to pay for one of the microwaves (up to $100). The motion was
seconded and passed, that the Social Club would purchase the second
microwave for the kitchen, not to exceed $100.

Betty Hanus offered a report on the state of finances for the Social Club.

The February Social Club meeting will be held on Monday, Feb. 16th at 4pm.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:00pm.

Minutes submitted by Kathy Furgason

Where’s Grandma and Grandpa Thomas?




_{The picture and story below are by my son Rob Thomas and the picture below is of my grandson Ryan (yes, all our names start with an "R").... ron thomas}


Daddy says that Grandma and Grandpa Thomas can’t come down to our house for Christmas this year. Daddy says there were lots of ‘scuses, but they send their love and maybe they’ll make it down next year.

I told Daddy that maybe Santa could stop by and pick them up and drop them off at our house. Daddy said that Grandma Thomas doesn’t like to fly, and especially in that small sleigh that he toodles around in. Grandma says that it’s a wonder that Santa hasn’t had an accident, especially with all the bad weather on Christmas Eve. Grandma says Santa must have a death wish. I think Grandma is silly.

Well, maybe Grandma and Grandpa could ride the train? I’ve been checking the train, but no sign of them yet! I’ll keep watching!



Oh well, I know that Grandma and Grandpa Thomas love me and would have joined us for Christmas this year if they could have. But maybe their friends at Longview Hills could give them a little nudge during their celebrations to make sure that they come down next year! Ah, maybe that’s a little mean spirited. So what!? I’m two! Mean spirited is my middle name!

Love you and miss you Grandma and Grandpa,
Ryan

A Big Thank You!!!!!



Thanks to all who organized, gathered tree branches, brought cookies, wine, soda etc. and instructed the floral class yesterday. It was wonderful. We all had a good time and learned how to arrange a Christmas centerpiece. I was truly amazed to see what transpired after only a few minutes of advise from the experts ( Jackie Thomas and Sue Wilson).

Hopefully we can do this again for other holidays and if you missed this one you will want to be sure and sign up for the next time around.

Thanks again !

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PATROL SIGNS DONATION

Carole Barkhurst, manager of the Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce, has assisted us in getting signs for our cars when we are out on patrol. She contacted R & R Signs in Depoe Bay and they donated the vinyl signs to affix to our cars.

A special thanks to all of our neighbors who have volunteered their time to patrol our neighborhood during the Thanksgiving Holiday.

SID ADKINS
Great News...Sid and Elaine made it back home yesterday afternoon. Sid is doing well and is taking it easy doing this recovery time. Welcome back home to the Adkins and that all came out well.
