FROM the GOVERNOR

Another month has flown by, and again the temp on

the kitchen fundraiser has risen. If you have not had a

chance to help out as of yet please do so. Every bit helps.

And yet another thank you to all the members for the do-

nations and the understanding. The kitchen remodel has

been finished and necessary paperwork submitted. It is

now a situation of hurry up and wait.

Luau is still scheduled for the 25th of September. I

have heard some favorable remarks as to the change of

dates. It will NOT interfere with the fair and most mem-

bers will have returned from summer vacations. We hope

to have the finest Luau to date with the largest in atten-

dance. This years event will be chaired by our newest and

youngest member Charles Segovia. Please offer Charles

your help in any way possible. Price of admission and en-

tertainment will be posted soon.

I would like to touch briefly on the subject of decorum.

Maintaining decorum is more than just not cursing in the

social quarters. It encompasses the right of each and every

member of this fraternal organization to a peaceful and

harmonious social quarters. This includes all members of

the boards of men and women, Lodge business is not dis-

cussed in the social quarters. Everyone is encouraged to

attend general meetings. It is at these meetings that any-

one with a concern can have the matter heard.

Let us all look forward to our kitchen re-opening. I sin-

cerely hope it is used to its maximum benefit.

Thomas Robert Smith Thomas Robert Smith passed away unexpectedly on June 26,

days after celebrating his 83rd birthday. Tom was a member of the

Moose Lodge 1394 for at least two decades, Although health issues

kept him from spending much time at the lodge in recent years, he re-

mained a loyal member.

Tom was born in Oxnard on June 19,1927 and grew up in Fillmore.

He attended Fillmore High School, where he played football and bas-

ketball. At an early age, an illness damaged his hearing, which became

progressively worse during his life. This dampened his possibilities, but

not his spirit.

After graduating from high school in 1945, Tom moved to Ventura,

where he worked for the Shell Oil Company for 36 years. He was a

field technician and considered dodging rattlesnakes scarier than work-

ing 70 feet up on an oil rig. As a fast worker, he became known as the

“Fillmore Flash” and the “Scourge of the Sespe.” It took him seven

years to achieve what he thought was “not the best-paying job, but the

best job.” He retired in 1981 and lived in Ventura for the rest of his life.

Tom was a life long football fan and attended the first Super Bowl in

1967. He was an avid reader of two daily newspapers and every book

about World War II. He joined the marines after graduating, but was

discharged after three days because of his hearing.

Tom also loved classic movies, and remembered his mom and big

sister Marie taking him to movie palaces in Ventura and Los Angeles

when he was a child. He enjoyed traveling and visited Europe, Mexico

and the Pacific Islands, Including the Republic of Kiribati, where he

toured historic WW II battle sites.

Tom had a sharp mind and a soft heart. He loved animals, cats in

particular. He wrote amusing, literate letters filled with mordant wit,

and loved to tell a story.

Tom was generous, honest and kind. His poor hearing narrowed his

world. This, Along with his formidable exterior, was sometimes a bar-

rio to more people knowing him as the intelligent and thoughtful person

he was.

A celebration of Tom’s life will be held in September. Please contact

his niece Sherida for time and place if you knew Tom and would like to

attend: peanutbuscat@yahoo.com or (925)372-5479

I C E - In Case of Emergency

Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics fol-

low at the scene of an accident when they come across your

cell phone. ICE—”In Case of Emergency” We all carry our

mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory

but nobody, other than ourselves, know which of thee num-

bers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or taken ill, the

people attending us would have our mobile phone but would-

n’t know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers

stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emer-

gency? Hence this “ICE (In Case of Emergency) campaign

The concept of “ICE” is catching on quickly. It is a method

of contacting during emergency situations. As cell (mobile)

phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you

need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons

who should be contacted during emergency under the

“ICE” (In Case of Emergency)

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that

when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always

mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which

number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good

idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this pur-

pose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service person-

nel and Hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the

right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as

“ICE”. Hospital Emergency Room Staff need to know what

Allergies & / or Medicine has been prescribed by a personal

doctor. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1,

ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Let’s spread the concept of ICE by storing an Ice number in

our mobile phones today! It really could save your life, or put

a loved one’s mind at rest. ICE will speak for you when you

are not able to. Pass this to all you families and friends.
