The bulletin is a bit late and short this week due to a ClubRunner problem that made the template uneditable. The good folks at the other end restored the widgets and added a joke that I left at the end. Speaking of crashes, I wiped out part of the meeting jobs database. The program that is supposed to assign jobs had a major flaw in that it did fine until it got to the end of the list which caused it to stop rather than start over again at the beginning. I'll try to keep everyone from getting assigned something too often. Let me know if I missed.
LOCAL CONTROL (or Oh Shit!)
Mark Herthel was on hand last week to discuss the creation of a community services district (CSD) to deal with the septic problems in Los Olivos. The need for some type of sewer system has been recognized for many years and new state regulations require that something be done soon. The options are create a new CSD, be annexed by the Santa Ynez CSD or let the county do it. Mark spoke passionately about the need for local control rather than accept the Santa Ynez CSD's one size fits all solution that has been proposed. We have separate school districts for each town in the valley. Why not the same for sewer districts.
Lompoc Vets Memorial
At the beginning of last week's meeting, club service chair Susan Marek Dullea presented a check for $250 to two ladies representing a veterans group creating a memorial that will list all the Lompoc residents killed while in the
military.

A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy another, but only have $500. The redhead tells the blonde, "I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram." She goes to the market and finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer. Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word "comfortable." Skeptical, the operator asks, "How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?" The redhead replies, "She's a blonde so she reads slow: 'Come for ta bull.'" - See more at: http://www.laughfactory.com/
