COHO TALES SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2014

Volume 24 Issue 8 Sept/Oct 2014

COHO DAYS started off this year with a Candidate’s Forum on August 1st and

ended with the Leaseholder dinner and party on August 9th. There were

many activities during the week that will be highlighted throughout this issue.

So many members helped with the organization and running of these that it

will be hard to acknowledge them all. Special thanks to Karen Spaulding for

taking the lead in overall organization.

Many activities were fund raisers for community non-profit organizations—

the local Food Bank and the Children’s Christmas Fund, and for our SKP Park

groups—the Landscape Committee and the Kitchen Angels. Reports on the

amount raised will be given when the final tallies are in.

The Annual Meeting of the Lease-

holders is held on the first Wednes-

day in August. During this meeting

three new Board Members are

elected for a three year term and

three Board Members retire. The

New Members elected this year are:

Charlene Cates, Janet Richards, and

Ron Lund. The Retiring Board Mem-

bers are George Hilke, Wayne Wil-

cox and Tom Youtsey and deserve a

big thank you for their service.

The Board elects its own officers in a Closed Board Meeting at the end of the

Annual Meeting. The new officers for 2014-2015 are:

President: Ron Lund

Vice President: Dwight Williamson

Treasurer: Charlene Cates

Secretary: Janet Richardson

OPEN BOARD MEETINGS SCHEDULED IN SEPTEMBER ARE :

SEPTEMBER 8th AND SEPTEMBER 22nd

Thank you to Diane Roulier who took all the COHO DAYS photographs.

SAFETY COMMITTEE

R U GUILTY?

Our park population is more than a few years be-yond “mature.” This means our folks move slower, have increased reaction times, and are not as nim-ble as they once were. The safety committee has observed many instances where both residents and renters have driven well above the park speed limit of 10 miles per hour. Yes, it is really hard to drive that slow, but it is needed for the protection of all of us. Please be sure you are not guilty.

Pete Granger, Secretary for the Safety Committee

LADIES TEA

6

Our 2014 “Having Fun for a Good Cause” has come to end now.

Most everyone, when asked, said they had a good time and were

sorry it was over. Even Mother Nature cooperated with spectacular

weather.

The week started out with a filling breakfast provided by the Ever-

green Coho SKP Board of Directors and Barbara Schoenecker, su-

pervisor. The sausage gravy, biscuits, eggs and juice brought in

$365.70, after expenses, for the Jefferson County Food Bank. The

breakfast got us up early but there weren’t any complaints.

Sunday was our free Ladies Tea and Fashion Show. The surprise was the Fashion Show organized by

Barbara Schoenecker. Jan Woodley of Endless Apparel at

Good Sport in Kively Center provided the fashions and nar-

rated the Fashion Show. Six courageous women, Diane

Roulier, Sheri Dean, Sandra Haven, Marg Granger, Carolyn

Kidd and Joan Croft, modeled clothing from a local apparel

store. Barbara Schoenecker and Donna Williamson worked

behind the scenes as dressers.

Of course, the Ladies Tea was a hit as always. We were

fortunate to have Rachel Fondren supervise the making of all

the little pastries, etc. prior to her leaving the park. She will

indeed be missed. Servers were: Jeff Stauffer, Ed Herner,

Ron Planck, Tom Youtsey, Pete Granger, Dwight Williamson,

Jim Spaulding, and George Hilke.

Our two big sales, the Bake Sale and the Brown Bag Sale, were great successes also with Chuck Palumbo

and Robert Trott doing the auctioneering. Lots of baked goods were provided for the Bake Sale which

brought in $1,072.00 for the Children’s Christmas Fund and $770.00 was donated to the Brown Bag Sale with

moneys going to our kitchen.

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday we were, for only $3.00

each, provided a hot dog lunch with chips and a cookie by

Dick and Diane Koeb. After their expenses, they donated

$338.00 to our Kitchen Angels. In addition to the food, Bill

and Joan Croft hosted Root Beer floats – a huge hit! They

proudly donated $201.00 to our kitchen.

At the campaign ‘WELCOMING’ reception, 58+ new members

were presented to the existing membership. New ideas and new friends – welcome everyone.

The 50/50 raffle (six tickets for $5.00) made $322.00 with

$161.00 going to the kitchen. The total given to the kitchen from

the various events was $1,162.00.

Friday night we were all entertained by The Travelers, a

long established country western group led by our own Ed

Bonham. Folks danced, sang and generally enjoyed eve-

ry song sung. If you missed this event, you really missed

a memorable evening.

Because of ongoing permitting problems for the kitchen, it

was decided to have our Annual Membership Dinner ca-

tered by The Courtyard Café in Pt. Townsend. When the

sale of the pulled pork dinner tickets was finally closed, we

had sold 120 tickets for $1,120.00. Our menu was pulled

pork (with or without bar-b-q sauce), baked beans, cole

slaw, corn bread and watermelon. The breakdown on the

dinner was $9.10 for the meal and $0.90 tax. The gratuity

of $200.00 was donated. Other monies were donated to

cover some basic expenses.

Winners of the various awards were: Linda Nichol – Trivia, Jim Spaulding – Poker Walk, Gloria

Nichol – 50/50 Raffle and Annett Silverthorn – International Cook-Off. The new name for the grass

garden is ‘Serenity Garden’. Congratulations to everyone.

Thank you to all the volunteers that made this year’s celebration so successful.

The Park has a new “resident” a big green one:

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

The following materials get put into the

New Dumpster:

ALL TRASH, CARDBOARD & PAPER.

Yard debris that is not suitable for the

Compost pile

THE FOLLOWING CANNOT BE PUT IN THE DUMPSTER:

HAZARDOUS OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS OR DIRT

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Peak summer months will require weekly pick up.

2. October – June should require less frequent pick ups where we will show our largest savings.

3. We were paying to have cardboard and paper picked up – we no longer do that with the 20 yard dumpster all cardboard & paper is put in this dumpster

4. Hopefully, we should be able to minimize or eliminate the burn pile. The smoldering smoke

Causes problems for people in the park and is left unattended during nighttime hours.

5. This is a trial period for the dumpster. To get an accurate accounting of savings, one year of its operation is needed. After that a determination can be made whether it is cost effective enough to continue.

6. The office calls the disposal company when the dumpster is filled to capacity; they pick it up and return it within a short period of time on the same day.

7. Positive comments have been received – less odor-not having to lift dirty dumpster lids-quick return of dumpster after removing it for disposal

8. No tires, hazardous or combustible materials or dirt are allowed. Yard debris not suitable for the compost bins can be thrown in the dumpster.

CONTACT ED HERNER - LOT 318 WITH ANY QUESTIONS

OR BEFORE PUTTING WOOD FROM THE BURN PILE IN THE DUMPSTER!

UTILITY COMMITTEE The 2014/2015 Utilities Committee is being structured as follows:

Chairperson - Dick Koeb #625

Vice Chairperson - Bob Lehnert #646

Board Liaison - Janet Richards

Board Alternate - Ron Lund

The Utilities Committee will have five major work are-as. There will be a team lead in each area, that will oversee those areas :

Septic Systems:

Team Lead - Billy Laird #509 [email protected]

Electrical Systems:

Team Lead - Chuck Palumbo #117 [email protected]

Water System:

Team Lead - Ed Cates #629 [email protected]

Broadband Cable-WAVE:

Team Lead - Bob Lehnert #646 [email protected]

Low Voltage Lighting:

Team lead- Jim Schauer #642 [email protected]

Thanks to Chuck Palumbo for suggesting this distribution of responsibilities. Of course, it goes without saying, that we are a "committee" and a "team" and we will all be expected to work in whatever area is in need.

This is going to be great for Mike Allen, and for our lease-holders, because they will now know who to contact when there is a park or site issue.

Thanks to all,

Dick Koeb Utilities Committee Chairperson

NOTES FROM THE AUGUST 25, 2014 BOARD MEETING

The September 9th SPECIAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING has been canceled. Issues on the agenda will be studied by the AD HOC Documents Committee and be brought back to the membership at the 2015 Annual Meeting.

The County does not have an issue with the Park’s non-profit status.

It is allowable to be considered a non-profit by the state and a for profit for Income Tax Purposes by the Federal Government.

Our Attorney and CPA prefer that the status of the park remain as it is for reporting purposes.

A Special non-profit group could be formed in the park to oversee gaming. This will be investigated.

Safety Day This is a partial summary of what transpired at a recent COHO Days Safety Day. This first part is on Identity Theft. The second part is on “Computer Fraud, it’s your money” and will be in the COHO Tales next month. A 20-minute video from the FTC was shown regarding Identity Theft. Five or six people raised their hand when asked if anyone had their Identity stolen. I never expected such a high ratio in our group. We had two people tell their separate horror story about Identity Theft. One of the two is still try-ing to straighten out their life. Dwight Williamson Safety Volunteer, informed everyone about the credit card hackers and the bil-lions of dollars being lost via Identity Theft. It is the largest cottage industry in the world outdoing the illegal drug business by millions of dollars. Safety volunteer Trish Benz, offered some suggestions. Shred, shred, shred, your personal information. Close unused accounts. Don't give out personal information unless you initiate the contact. Never respond to an offer you don't understand. Don't pay in advance for services. Require all purchases to have a paper or digital trail. Ask "would you please write that down" or "please send me an email with the details." It is recommended that you don’t get Identity Theft insurance. It is not worth the money. You do not need to give your doctor or hospital your Social Security #, particularly if you have sup-plemental insurance. The FTC says “Leave your Medicare card at home where it can be safe”. Go on the Internet to www.consumer.ftc.gov for more information on Identity Theft. Follow their infor-mation if you have had your identity stolen. One of the most important things you can do is put a security (credit) freeze on your credit infor-mation. This can be done at the three credit unions that handle your credit score and information for all the retailers. It can be Temporarily taken off when needed. You can get information from Transunion (better information). transunion.com/security freeze 888 909-8872 or Equifax 800 525-6285 or Experian 888 397-3742. Most times you only need to contact one of the above because they cooperate with one another, but it is always best to ask. www.atg.wa.gov/freeze Is a good site in Washington. By the way, someone may steal your credit card number and use it but they are not able to get to your personal information with a freeze. Look for a small lock on your computer screen or https on the address line in your browser before entering your credit card number. This shows your information is secure. Try to stay close to your card when checking out of that restaurant. Be sure your receipt does not carry your full card number. Check your statement each month. Well, it might be easier just to pay cash! Jack Yates, Safety Committee

Dwight “D” Durkee and Linda Boyd-Durkee, lot #228, are high school sweethearts who found each other 38 years later, in time to become full-timers in 2006. Linda worked in California’s Silicon Valley, assisting firms transitioning into electronic data processing. She then went to San Francisco, spending 34 years establishing a non-profit to manage state child care subsidy contracts. Later she at the University of Califor-nia, San Francisco, she managed a research laboratory, and became financial manager of a science education program. She has a 33-year-old son, an attorney, in Los Angeles. “D” received his Army discharge in

1968 and immediately went to work for a NASA contractor at the Goldstone Apollo tracking station supporting Apollo 8’s manned mission to the moon. Thirty-three years later he retired from the space flight training business as Communi-cations Planner at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. “D” has a son, daughter, 2 granddaughters and a grandson living in southern California. “D” and Linda are rail fans who enjoy traveling and riding their Harley-Davidson Tri-Glide, preferably on long trips but around town will work too.

Bill and Susan Schneider, lot #339, have been full-timing in their motorhome since retiring nine years ago. They have spent their retirement years travel-ing to winter locations throughout the southern U.S., their favorite location being Florida. Not surprising, considering their favorite pastime is beach-combing and shell collection. In summers they work-camped in Sequim. Orig-inally from northern California, they traveled the country during Bill’s thirty-year career in the U.S. Navy Submarine Force. Susan worked in Administra-tion after their two daughters started school, finishing her career at the Keyport Navel Weapons Station. Both of their daughters and two grandchil-dren live in Kitsap County, so the unexpected opportunity to lease a lot at Evergreen Coho was serendipitous. Bill enjoys woodworking and is currently remodeling the interior of their motorhome. He also tries to fit in a little fish-ing when the opportunity presents itself. Susan is an accomplished gourd artist and also enjoys woodworking. They both look forward to participating in the park activities and committees.

Ed and Connie Lohan, lot #614, have been full time RVer’s since the summer of 2009. They started work-camping for Gilgal Oasis in Se-quim that winter. Since then they have work-camped for Alaska State parks for two summers and another summer for a private RV park on the Kenai River in Alaska. Most winters they have been in Sequim as work campers. They say, “We love this area and are glad to be living here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.” They are traveling with Rob-ert and Mary Trott, lot #622, to Surprise, AZ to work-camp at a Cal-Am park this October. They also like to visit with their kids and grandkids in southern California. They share their 5th wheel with a Shih Tzu named Belle and a cat, Cleo.

In order to properly use the terms I and we this information is pertinent. My wife and I were married for just over 40 years. In November 2012 Loretta died as a result of a fall while riding a bike. I took early retirement in February 2003, and we purchased a 5th wheel and a Ford F350 put our house in Wisconsin on the market and headed for Alaska.

The summer of 2003 was spent as camp hosts at the Izaak Walton State Park at Ster-ling Alaska. In 2005 we decided we wanted a home base where we could spend our winter months yet continue to enjoy RVing in the summer. We purchased a house in the North Foothills of Yuma Arizona and have wintered there since that time. We continued our summer time travels doing 2 years at a reservoir near Kremmling Colo-

rado- and an additional summer in Alaska.

While in Alaska several other camp hosts told us about Escapees. The terms they used were so complimentary that we were convinced that we needed to belong and so joined at the park in Pahrump. The following summer we discovered Evergreen Coho. Hooked again! It took me just over 6 years to obtain a membership. Last August I became a member and was fortunate enough to be able to switch lots and get a park model in the back row.

I now have a motorhome and intend to enjoy RVing on an intermittent basis. Summers will be spent here in the park but Yuma will continue to be my winter home.

Evergreen Coho is a beautiful park filled with wonderful people. It is located in the most magnificent area of the United States. It is my summer paradise.

Jolene and Edwin Northup, lot #535, are native Californians but spent their adult

lives in numerous places. Ed’s career as a mechanical and electrical engineer found

him in various eastern cities like Milwaukee, southern Chicago, and New York. Jo-

lene was in the textile industry including textile design, sales and marketing in New

York City. Eventually they bought a sailboat and spent a year sailing, including en-

joying the Bahamas. Then they returned to work until 1999 and have been full-

timing in the same Airstream ever since. They like to spend winters in one of our

warmer southern states or in Mexico. The last few summers they parked their Air-

stream on their 5-acre property in central Oregon which had a “toy barn” with a

studio where Jolene enjoyed her art and taught weaving. Ed used a portion of the

building for his hobby of woodworking. They plan to continue traveling part of the

time and pursuing their hobbies while living at the park, glad to have no more acre-

age to tend in the meantime.

Ron and Linda Pease, lot #135, were both raised in Sequim, Washington. After

they married, the Navy stationed Ron in Hawaii where they spent their first 9

years. They returned to Bremerton where they lived for the next 35 years. Ron

worked at Puget Sound Navel Shipyard for 22 years, then went into the construc-

tion industry, going into business for himself and building houses throughout

Kitsap County. In 2008, they retired and have been full-timing since then, finding

Arizona their favorite area for winter. They have a son and a daughter and 2

grandchildren, who all live in Kitsap County. Our park was their first thought when

they decided they needed a home base and they were thrilled to get a lot so quick-

ly. Ron loves golfing (he’s looking for other golfers in the park!) and they both like

walking.

RON LUND

Melinda Cornwell, lot #311, grew up in a military family and made the Navy her own

career, serving our country as a nurse. So her early life and adult life both involved

travel all over the world, including about 4 years in Italy. She has spent the last 28

years mainly in Alaska, working as a web page designer, teaching weaving and gene-

alogy. Three years ago she began full-timing in her RV with her two cats. She volun-

teered for awhile as a camp host in Haines, Alaska, and last year she explored the

southern and eastern states. She says she “never gets bored” and finds traveling ex-

hilarating. She wants to eventually set up her loom in her shed to continue her weav-

ing projects and also has enjoyed the field of genealogy for many years.

SURVEY

This is a survey to determine how many hearing aid(s) users in the Park

have aid(s) with T-Coil capability.

There is a system known as “The Loop” which could be installed in the Club-

house, in conjunction with the current microphone system which would

allow those with aid(s) having T-Coil to have anything said into the microphone transmitted directly to their

ear(s).

If enough people would benefit, and cost would not be prohibitive, we could put on dinners and other events

to pay for “The Loop” system by mean of donations.

If you have the T-Coil in your hearing aid(s), please drop me a line here in the Park (lot) 433) or give me a call at

(360) 385-9563.
