The Meeting From June 15, 2023

President Jack Strange Presents: "UAP, the Evidence for Non-Human Intelligence."

President Jack Strange was our featured speaker for June 15, 2023. Jack’s topic was “UAP, the Evidence for Non-Human Intelligence.” President Jack is a science teacher by trade and well versed in scientific matters and scientific inquiry and analysis. Jack presented a run-down of recent events, as narrated by credible U.S. military sources, that cannot be explained by any presently known earth-based technologies. Jack noted that the old acronym “UFO” is no longer used to describe the phenomena of out-of-this world flying objects; we now call them “Anomalous Unidentified Phenomena,” or “UAP.”

In November 2004, as the USS Nimitz Carrier Group strike force was performing maneuvers off the coast of San Diego, a number of sailors saw “lights swarming around the strike group.” A guided missile cruiser, the U.S.S. Princeton, contemporaneously tracked an object entering into the radar envelope, apparently from space, descend from 80,000’ to sea level in 1 second. This would be the equivalent of 54,000 feet per second, or Mach 71. Two fighter jets were dispatched to investigate. The leader reported that he witnessed a patch of disturbed water and an object shaped like a white tic tac and about 40” long. The object was mirroring his movements. The object stopped, then took off. The strike group identified the object 60 miles away 5 seconds later! In 2014-2015 personnel about the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a nuclear powered aircraft carrier off the coast of Virginia, recorded daily observations of black/grey cubes enclosed by transparent spheres, hovering and monitoring carrier flights. These cubes often flew very close to the aircraft carrier’s jets. One pilot, Lt. Robert Graves, reported that he and other pilots observed these UAP’s daily for an extended period of time. In 2021, at a Marine Corps base in 29 Palms (CA), 60-70 marines saw hovering triangles of light, 50 yards in length. They shot flares up to illuminate the objects, but the objects left immediately. At a nuclear missile facility with lots of ICBM’s in Montana in 1967, terrified security guards saw red objects come out of nowhere and hover over the facility. Indicator lights on minutemen missiles turned off one-by-one, indicating that the missiles were offline.

Jack noted that UAP’s have 5 observables: they move instantaneously and with hypersonic velocity; they have no exhaust plumes, no heat signatures, and do not create sonic booms; they are anti-gravity; and they exhibit trans-medium travel, that is, they can travel in space, in water, and in the air. They also seem to fall within 3 types: small spheres, disks, and cubes with spheres. Jack also provided us with references to a New York Times article in 2017 and to reporters, retired intelligence agency officials, ex-military whistleblowers, and scientists who have reported, written, and testified about the likely knowledge of U.S. officials regarding these and other events.

Great job, President Jack. Your presentation brought a number of different events into one place and relied only on what are, hopefully, reliable sources. Thank you for taking the time out from your presidential duties to give us an interesting and thought-provoking summary of recent development in this topic.

Lewis Learning Landscape Progresses

Lewis Learning Center Landscape Update

Wait, there is more!!

Though taken the same day, Lewis Learning Center's groomed front yard stands in contrast to the backyard's in progress makeover.

Stalwarts Del Raby and school Principal Janelle commence expelling weeds from planting areas.  

Volunteer Curtis who organized the front yard makeover several months ago prepares an area for a new tree installation.  The plastic sheeting under the soil is incompatible to the health of a new tree.  Curtis expertise again will help assure lasting improvements.

Special Education Early Childhood Learning Teacher, Lacy, added her weeding passion to the project. Her classroom in the background is part of the campus serving children up to Fifth grade.  Raised planter beds are in the drawing board stage.  The buckets transported weeds to nearby dumpsters, giving bending, kneeling weeders a chance to regain normal posture!

The empty bucket is temporary:  A close look at the background weeds and dead palm fronds stuck in the structure awaiting expulsion soon merge.

The crew of 7 made quick work in 2 hours, filling a 2.5 yard dumpster. 

The smiles say we're glad to be done!  For now.  Behind the camera, Sunriser Peter Hoberg was no less happy with the results.  His Environmental Care coordination  is a large part of Sunrise recognition for District 5130 leadership in community engagement.

Stay tuned for the next installment at Lewis Learning Center.

MJ on KOWSfm.com

M.J. Girard is currently an on air personality on KOWSfm.com His “Roots of Rock” is broadcast every Sunday morning at 7 AM

Aloha…!

Just returned from Maui county, the proper name of the “Garden Isle” where the sea is always blue, the afternoon Tradewinds blow the humidity away, and palm trees sway. Lynda and I visited with family and friends, my sister Laura, whom I found, or should I say “we found” each other on a DNA website, were we share a common father, both of us adopted at birth.

KOWS youngest disc jockey, Ventura Smalley, filled in faithfully every Sunday morning at 7…. He was featured in the Press Democrat a short while back. A freshman at Piner High School, and a natural born entertainer.

Upon my return to the studio, I presented a “Father’s Day” special, now archived on the website, featuring some fine tunes and comedy to bring a smile to old Dad’s face, young dads too!

As we approach summertime, and the eventual traveling that goes glove and hand, let’s remember to keep our Rotarians creed and spread the word far and wide. No matter where one may roam, a Rotarian is nearby. Looking forward to our newly installed club presidents exciting year ahead, congratulations Debra!

This season the Roots of Rock will be highlighting the top tunes of summer, date specific, e.g., songs that were played from June through September on your favorite radio station and Jukeboxes across America. (Recall sitting in a cafe with the music selection device, turning the pages, dropping in a coin, a dime for one song, a quarter for three! Such a deal!)

Request can be made by either texting: 707.391.9463 or Girard.org

This is the first summer when we are free from the confines of the pandemic, free to travel and breathe freely the good life of our home state, and free from oppression.

God Blessed America, may we always be thankful and grateful for our great country.

Stay well, stay safe, stay happy!

Joke of the Week

Brain Teasers of the Week

1.  I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?

2. I can't be bought, but I can be stolen with a glance. I'm worthless to one, but priceless to two. What am I?

Answers to last week's brain teasers:

Last week was a joke.

Happy and Sad Dollars

First it was "Fines".  And when that was thought to be "negative" it became "recognitions" and after that "High Five".  But Jack has announced a new twist for these moments, designed to fit every celebration as well as sorrowful news.  And it does not have to be a "High Five".  "Happy Dollars" and "Sad Dollars" can be whatever you want them to be.  Or whatever you feel is appropriate.

Happy Dollars

Paul O'Rear - had a phenomenal time with Penny at a Millar family reunion.

Leroy Carlenzoli - shared his relief about Carol's recovery from her nautical incident. The sling is off!

Mary Behr - was delighted to share news of his granddaughter, Lia Wiese's, graduation from University of North Texas in Music Education and Math. She already landed for her first job as chorus teacher in San Antonio and will teach this summer for the Santa Rosa Symphony Academy.

Eloise Tweeten - let us know her granddaughter, Evalyn turned three years old and her other granddaughter, Layna, was fitted for braces, but may not presently consider this happy dollars.

Sad Dollars

Please keep John Jones and family in your thoughts while they are mourning the tragic passing of his grandson.

News From "The Rotarian"
Rotary projects around the globe
June 2023
By Brad Webber
Korea
Seeking to engage more of its Rotary members in volunteering, the women’s committee of District 3650 in Seoul, South Korea, paired them with children from the Hyeshim-Won youth home for monthly sightseeing outings. In January, Rotarians treated 30 young people from the home to a trip to the Lotte World amusement park. They took spins on the merry-go-round, bumper cars, pirate ship ride, and more. The district and Rotary members donated about $2,800 for discounted tickets and food, while District Governor-elect Young Suk Lee, of the Rotary Club of Seoul Hangang, covered the cost of busing. District Governor Bong Rak Sohn and the Rotary Club of Seoul KANS organized the event. “We wanted to show the children that there are many good people in the world,” says Kwi-Young Song, of the Rotary Club of Hanseong, chair of the district women’s committee.
Australia
The Rotary Club of Beecroft enlisted a contract distiller and concocted a signature gin steeped with botanicals reflecting the flora around its north suburban Sydney base. In November more than 150 Rotarians, business leaders, and other residents met for a Beecroft Spirit Gin launch party to select the flavorings “that represent the area of Beecroft,” says Daniel Dummer, a club member and project leader. Working with Craft Foundry, the club produced 260 bottles of gin infused with the essences of strawberry gum, lemon myrtle, and rosella. By Christmas, the lot had sold out, with nearly $1,800 in proceeds directed toward the renovation of an electrical substation in Beecroft as well as international projects, says Dummer. “Beecroft has a strong sense of community, and gin is a fast-growing spirit in Australia right now. Our goal was to bring the community together around a delicious and memorable local project while raising funds for projects here and abroad.”
