President's Message

By Bob Phelan

I guess I'll take another stab at it.

February was a good month; we celebrated Valentines Day with a great potluck. Thanks to Dorothy and all her helpers. I thought sure I knew at least 5 of the couples on those guess-the-couple boards. Counting our story, I got 2 of them.

Our February hoedown actually netted us a profit, image that. One of our own won the 50/50, and because of the odd dollar amount, donated (involuntarily) $.50 back to the club. As John Walker put it "I don't do change".

Our April Red light Green light is coming up with Gary calling; I think we should get a good turn out, after all I think we do have the best workshop caller.

Coming soon will be the Car Rally hosted by Lois and Don Lollich. I'd like to thank them for putting in the time for the event planning, at our begging and pleading. No one else could do it justice. And lastly, it's time to do that spring-cleaning, set aside all those long-lost treasures to donate to the club garage sale in April. I can almost hear something ringing in my ear

"DON'T BRING ANYTHING UNTIL THE WEEK OF THE GARAGE SALE". Yeah that was it......

Thanks,

Bob

Greetings From the Great North West

By Bob Kratz

We are finally settling in to our new surroundings. Most the boxes inside the house are unpacked and put away but the garage and the shop still have a ways to go. Such as "Say honey,what to you want me to do with this box of stuff?" Oh, just put it downstairs in the shop with those other boxes."

Moving itself is always a tumultuous event but this one took on a life of its own. When we put our house on the market the realtor wanted to "stage" the house where we would store a lot of our furnishings and they brought in other items to create a model home look.

After checking several alternatives we decided on renting a POD. This company delivers a 8x8x16 foot container to the house, you load it and they take it, store it and bring it back so you can finish packing, Then they deliver it to your new destination. There was only one flaw in the system. They did not go to Tillamook. They would go as far as our daughters home in Forrest Grove where we would have to unpack it, load it into a truck and take the contents to our house, an hour away.

No problem. Chris would drive our pickup to Oregon and I would drive a rental truck to carry the boxes and furniture that did not fit in the POD. The rental could then be used to transport the POD load to our new home.

"Sure, we will be happy to help you" said the truck rental guy. "The fee is $750 plus you pay for the diesel fuel at about 6 to 8 mpg. Be sure and return the truck within 4 days or there are some hefty overage charges".

While mulling this over we drove past a business selling trailers and stopped in. For $1050 they would sell me a brand new 10' flat bed trailer and, with a little discussion, include a hitch and ball. We made a quick call to Daughter Debbie and determined that, yes, a 10' flat bed trailer would come in handy on their little horse ranch. We bought the thing, stopped at Home Depot to pick up some 2x4s, plywood, bolts, nuts and other hardware and soon had a trailer just large enough to hold our last belongings.

In Forest Grove we did rent a larger truck and hired a couple of strong backs to off load the POD and pack it all into the truck and Deb and Rob helped us (did most of the work) unloading the truck in Tillamook.

We visit Madeline every Wednesday, spend the night and go home, unless Deb and Rob need some help around their place and then we might get two nights. We have also had a couple of joint weekend events where we spent the night there or they come to our place for the night. Lots of Madeline time. In fact, I am writing this from Deb's home while Madeline is napping. Not to be a bragging grandpa but this child is amazing. At 20 months she must have at least a 100-word vocabulary, knows all the letters of the alphabet by sight and numbers and counting to 11 though sometimes by a circuitous route. On Sunday morning Madeline gets her own section of the paper, usually a two-page color store flyer. She looks at it and then her mom, dad or both go over all the pictures, what they are, and sometimes what they do. They continually teach her and she absorbs it all. She likes "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and I am teaching it to her in Latin just to shake people up.

Special note to Martha. Madeline really likes and understands the Madeline Song. When we go over she will come up to us and say, "sing". We ask what she wants to sing, and she says "Madeline Song". Again, thank you so much for helping me with the music and the written notes.

We have just been so busy we have not said thank you to the club for honoring us with the potluck on our last night. It was a very special evening for us and just reinforced what a great group of people wear the Clutch Busters badge. We miss each and every one of you and plan on being back in the area early next year if not before. In the meantime we are looking forward to McCloud and seeing some of you there.

We are off to Ashland tomorrow for their Chocolate festival and the opening of the Shakespeare season so we will have a truffle and lift a chocolate stout to the CBers. Then there are several tons of volcanic rocks in my yard challenging me to finish some rock walls and start some new ones. After the shop and garage are straightened out of course.

Along The Intercoastal Waterway

By Lois Lollich

We boarded the RiverBarge Explorer on Monday, February 13, 2006 at Port Isabel, TX to begin a two-week trip along the Texas - Louisiana intercoastal waterway. Our plan was to disembark at New Orleans Sunday, February 26, and fly home.

Wednesday afternoon the Barge docked at Corpus Christi , a pretty city. Attractive waterfront, three different museum buildings and a big convention/activity center. By bridge across part of the bay was the Texas State Aquarium and the aircraft carrier USS Lexington, now a museum.

Thursday, RiverBarge passengers were given a bus tour of The King Ranch - interesting tour.

Mid-day we stopped at a picnic shelter for a BarBQ lunch. Twenty-four hours later we understand some other passengers were ill. And Don. Fast forward and eliminate the gory details, the Barge made an unscheduled stop at Port Arthur , Tx . We were taken ashore in a dinghy to a waiting ambulance and to the Medical Center of Southeast Texas. Don was admitted, diagnosis food poisoning, the severe dehydration had stressed his kidneys. He was hospitalized four days; then recuperated two nights at the Ramada Inn before we could get a flight out of Houston to Oakland on Monday, February 27.

The Texans we encountered were very nice to us; that sure helped.

Winter Olympics

By Erna Beutel

Do you remember the Winter Olympics in February 2002 in Utah ? And do you remember how the flame came to Utah ? It went something like this:

The Olympic flame was brought from Athens , Greece to Atlanta , Georgia , where the last Olympic games took place. From there the flame was carried through 46 states by 11,500 torch bearers through 250 cities, and one of them was Concord . It was on a Saturday and I believe all 130,000 of its people were on the streets. The stretch through Concord was divided-up between four torchbearers, each running 1.2 miles. The first stop was in the center of town, Todos Santos. The first runner was greeted with much enthusiasm. On stage he lit the ready-made cauldron on which the next torchbearer lit his to carry on the flame. I had a good place to take pictures, but then there is always one more picture you want to take.

I convinced Ovo to drive me down Concord Blvd. for that. The street was lined on both sides with people who expected the torchbearer. It did not take long and he came running between two high vehicles. It was easy to overlook him and so I missed my picture. Without delay I went into gear and ran beside the torchbearer to overtake him and then take my picture. A lady from my exercise saw this competition and thought: "What a picture!" and pushed the button. However a man stepped right in front of her camera and I do not have proof of my story. I eventually abandoned my plan and this was the end of my Olympic experience.

The flame reached Salt Lake City on February 8, 2002 and the Olympic Games could begin.

I hope your and my running in this world is not about a picture, but about something much "Higher".

My Birthday Gift

By Dorothy Evans

A few weeks ago, I set off after work with a great deal of apprehension to spend a gift card John had given me for my birthday. You may be wondering why I would be so nervous about spending a gift certificate. Was it for a dinner? Noooo. Was it for a facial? Noooo. Was it for a tattoo? Yes, it was.

Now before you go accusing John of losing his marbles, the only thing he is guilty of is doing his wife's bidding. You see, for as long as I can remember I have talked about getting a tattoo - just a little one on my backside where my derriere meets my hip. All John did was put his money where my mouth is and force my hand.

Sue recommended Blue Star Tattooing & Body Piercing to John and gleefully offered to go with me.

Just your typical girls night out. I planned to take her up on her offer, but then she got sick so I asked John to go with me instead. At least that's what I told myself, but actually, if truth be known, I really just needed my sweetie pie, my security blanket, my John with me.

John told me the parlor was over a bar, so that night as I skulked down Concord Ave. , head down, I tried not to make my destination obvious as I kept glancing upwards. Just up ahead I spotted The Hangout bar with three burly guys sitting out front guzzling beer. I tried to nonchalantly glide past them, but I guess I was more obvious than I thought because one of them, most likely noting my self-conscious behavior, had the nerve to smirk as he told me to go to the back and up the stairs without my even asking for directions! Turning red, I kept my eyes averted, mumbled "thanks" and scooted by to a chorus of laughs.

The first thing I saw when I entered was the body piercing section of the shop. A young man with pitch black hair greased straight up, black t-shirt and jeans, black nail polish, several metal studs in various parts of his head and a nose ring Bossie the Cow would envy was piercing a young girl. I couldn't help but wonder what he wears for Halloween. As I stood there in my nice sweater, dress slacks, nylons and dress flats, he probably wondered the same about me. Watching her friend getting pierced was a girl around 17 years old. As she got a look at me, her eyes grew wide as saucers. She asked if I was getting a tattoo, and when I said I was, she smiled the sweetest, sweetest smile and cooed, "I just think that is soooooo AWEsome." "I'm not THAT old!" I silently wailed!!

From there I headed to the tattoo area where I encountered a young man who also had lots of piercings, but his hair wasn't black - it was bright blue. He told me the man Sue recommended, Darrin, wouldn't be available for another hour and a half. Off to my right in a blocked off area, I could just barely eye a beefy guy whose back was covered with tattoos being worked on by two hands, but I couldn't see any more. The two hands must belong to Darrin. I started getting queasy.

While I was waiting, Blue Hair suggested I look through their sample pictures and pick out what I wanted. There were hundreds from which to choose - dragons, skulls, naked women, lettering - when one just jumped off the page at me. It was the side view of a delicate butterfly in blues, lavender and red, and was just slightly larger than the size of a quarter. Perfect!

In the background blared a rap singer (singer?) whose mouth should have been washed out with soap.

His vocabulary consisted only of the self-deprecating "N" word, the "F" word, the "MF" word and "ho." Just when I thought I couldn't take it much more, Nose Ring came storming in and said HE couldn't take it anymore! The generation gap closed at that moment. He switched to heavy metal, which may not have been as good as Frank Sinatra or Toby Keith, but it was tons better than trash mouth.

John arrived about an hour later. Blue Hair was busy giving a tattoo, so Nose Ring suggested we start the paperwork. Besides the standard i.d. info, I had to affirm that I was not on drugs, drunk or infected with HIV. Then there was the "chicken clause" that stated that once they opened an ink pack, there was a $25 charge if you turn chicken and run. I also had to swear that I wouldn't sue them if something went wrong. Nose Ring stipulated, however, that if something severe happened, like my arm fell off, I could sue. Since they were going to tattoo my behind, you can bet your sweet bippee I would sue if my arm fell off!!

As we were signing papers, one of their customers came in so pleased with his current artwork that he wanted flames added. By this point, my stomach felt like Mount St. Helens just prior to erupting, so I made a pit stop. When I came out, John was talking to Darrin and when I saw him my mouth fell open. My gosh!!! Other than his earring, he looks just like us!!! I felt a little better as we headed for his work area.

efore continuing, I would like to say that although Blue Hair and Nose Ring didn't share my concept of being well dressed, they were both very nice young men and were professional in their work. Now, back to my story.

arrin told me the most painful part would be the outline. Sue had said that it would feel like scratching. As Darrin started the outline, I was also reminded of something else Sue said to me.

She had commented that she figured I had a high tolerance for pain. Thinking back, that should have been my first clue! I wouldn't say it felt like scratching. I would compare it more to when you get a splinter in your finger and you dig around under your skin with a needle. I silently mouthed to John, "OUCH!!!"

In about 15 minutes, it was all over. As I got up to look at it in the mirror, Darrin and John were tossing jokes back and forth about my wanting a leather jacket next, and what happened to the sweet girl John married. As I stepped up to the mirror and looked over my shoulder, all I saw was a big, black, blurry blob! Yikes, guess I better put my glasses on. After donning my specs, I tried again. I slowly turned my head, looked down and a huge smile warmed my face. "Cool!!"

NCSDA Report - February 26, 2006 Meeting By Tracy and Lisa Woodard

The Diablo Singles and Doubles have filed to officially changed their name to the Mountain Wheelers.

The NCSDA website www.NCSDA.com , has a wealth of information including, a roster of Association clubs and contact information, a calendar listing hoedowns with club links (if a club has information posted on their own website), regional events and NCSDA activities. If you are looking for square dance information this is the place to search!

FYI - There are currently 31 clubs, 762 members, and 133 class members covered in the NCSDA insurance program.

July Stampede - the organizers are looking at facilities to hold this event in Fremont / Newark or on the Peninsula . Vic Cedar will be the caller.

Round-Up 2006 - A program schedule worksheet was submitted for review and approval, before being published. (Quorum approved) Mainstream level will be allowed for September new dancers, but January new dancers probably will not be able to keep up. The schedule will be available on line

( www.NCSDA.com ) in the near future, so watch for it. A few notes on reading the schedule --- the

2+2 designation, means two pattern / singing calls followed by two round

2+dance calls, the term

"Fast track" indicates higher energy dancing, and "Tough Stuff" indicates extended applications, such as not all girl on right, or four couples in square. Sunday evening dancing will be MS with Plus & Advance tips.

Sales were reported at $4800.00, which means the cost of the halls are now covered, as long as enough room nights are reserved. The deadline for receiving the special NCSDA rate is May 15, 2006. (Remember there is no overnight RV stays allowed at the Marriott, due to an ordinance with the City of San Ramon . The nearest RV spot is the Pleasanton Fairgrounds.) The ribbons will begin being mailed in two weeks (mid-March). We need to get sales up to cover the cost of the Callers and Cuers.

The Sunday morning brunch usually features door prizes, which have been donated by NCSDA clubs or individuals. Bill and Joanne Price are chairing this effort and have indicated that donations made prior to noon on May 27, will permit them to list the donor's name on the program.

Advertising in the Round-up 2006 Booklet - the ad deadline is approaching (see the NCSDA website for details), so anyone interested in placing an ad in this year's Round-up Booklet should submit information soon.

Round-Up 2007 - Caller contracts are in place and the chairs are intending to schedule the event at the Marriott in San Ramon (if all goes well in 2006).

News from the Alley

By Avis Walker

Our Tuesday Bowling/Lunch Bunch started out February with our usual NO TAP Tuesday but with an unusual twist. When the scoreboards came up they had these strange F/S in the corner in some frames on some lanes. On our lanes only Wynell and Wally had them. Avis, John and Don S. had none.

On the adjacent lanes everyone had them in the 9th frame. No one knew what these strange marks meant so we just bowled away. When the 9th frame came along every one with a F/S got a free strike. As play progressed on some of the lanes further down the alley they had 3 and 4 per game per person and Avis, John, and Don S. had NONE. Hey, those guys over there with the help of NO TAP and F/S were rolling 300 games!!!

Needless to say with big money at stake we protested so they threw out the NO TAP scores and decided we would re-bowl it the next week. That was too bad too because Wynell had a VERY good day and with only 1 F/S. Ken Wygal rolled 4 strikes in a row for a 171. John Walker ended his 2nd game with 5 in a row and a 211. Bob Erwin had 5 in a row in his 3rd game for high game of the day of a 216. Wally Everette picked up the 5-10 split and Wynell rolled 5 in a row for a 188. Hold those good scores for next week.

On Feb. 14th we celebrated Valentine's Day by re-bowling NO TAP. (Without the F/S) In the 1st game Wynell turkeyed out for a 179, Milan Gregovich had 4 in a row for a 194, John Walker turkeyed out for a 200 and Avis turkeyed out for a 209. In the 2nd game Allen Wesdorf and Milan Gregovich tied at 177 and Don Orton and Don Snodgrass tied at 153.In the 3rd game Wynell turkeyed again for a 153, Milan and John Walker each had 2 turkeys for 201 and 211. Don Snodgrass had 4 in a row for a

196 and Avis turkeyed out for a 191 and high series of the day of 572. We went on to La Tapitia for a very good lunch.

Feb. 21st we started out the day by singing "Happy Birthday" to Mary Gregovich. When they announced the winners of NO TAP Wynell Snodgrass had taken women's 3rd place for a $5.00 prize.

John Walker took the first game of the day with a 191, Avis took the 2nd game with a 173 and John took the 3rd with a 181. John beat Avis by 100 pins for the day and the men beat the women by 134 pins for 3 games. But just remember WHO WON THE MONEY!!! We all went on to The Sizzler for lunch.

On Feb. 28th I was unable to join the group as I had to house sit waiting for the garage door repairman and the delivery of a new computer and wouldn't you know that is the Tuesday that Liz Phelan would be free to join us and bring a cute baby for me to play with. DRAT! Pat Pardee was nice enough to send home the scores of the day and while telling me he bowled O.K. John delivered them to me. Allen Wesdorf took the first game with a 148. John W. and Rachel Ireland had turkeys in the 2nd game and tied at 168 and John had 4 strikes in a row in the 3rd game for high game of the day of 196 and high series of the day of 504. Wynell had a good day with a 114, a 152 and a 112. She tied with husband Don in the second game. Don had 2nd high series with a 444 beating our Allen Wesdorf by 10 pins. Wynell had 4th series of the day and bowled 57 pins over her average.

They all went off to CoCo's for lunch. I hope that Liz is able to return and bowl with us again soon. We love to have new bowlers. Come join us sometime and practice what retirement is all about.
