WALES LANDMARK IS NO MORE

I believe that an epitaph is needed for the passing of a
Wales Landmark, The Lakeland Beach Club’s historic
clubhouse where so many memories were created and
enjoyed. This building was erected in 1947 by many
people mostly members who donated their time and
effort to build a place where their families and the
members could gather and celebrate being alive.

There are still members alive who participated in
the “club raising” (barn raising) and who remember
the joy that this building brought to its members.
There were dances held as well as fund raisers,
there was and still is a speaker on the only tree on
the beach that was hooked up to the music source
in the club house so the music could be enjoyed by
all, even those on the beach. Of course, the speaker
is no longer in service and has not been in years but
it is there as a reminder of the “good old days”.

Many a barbecue was enjoyed by all as well as
protection from the elements. Members could
rent the building for a minimal fee for parties,
weddings, showers and all reasons for celebrations,
thus being ensured that regardless of weather the
occasion could still be held. It, the clubhouse, held
many joyful memories of the sharing of summer fun,
the laughter of adults and the giggling and noise of
its youngest members.

The beach is called Brow’s Beach after it’s original
owners, the Brow’s. I happen to own the home that
replaced the original one where The Brow’s would
sell hot dogs and hamburgs and whatever you needed
for a successful outing. My home is nowhere like the
original one as it is a 5 room modular home with no
amenities like what used to be offered.

The Brow’s also owned cottages here which now have
been converted to homes, 3 year rounders and 3 weekend
and summer homes. Mine is the only one that did not
upgrade from a cottage as it is only 18 years old and
is the only one without a fireplace. Being a next door
neighbor of the Beach Club has brought me an
opportunity to meet many members and to interact
with them in a more personal way. I so enjoy the
laughter of the children as they play in the water
and create castles in the sand. For most of the year
it is quiet and very few members come down so it
is like having the beach and lake to myself for
9 months of the year.

Having such a close proximity to the Beach Club gave
me a different view of its value and what it offered to its
members. I, for one, cried as it was demolished on
June 8, 2011. After the roof caved in because of the
weight of this past winter’s snowfall, it has been a
safety hazard especially to the children who have no
fear and do not recognize the danger it presented to them.
It was like a house of cards that kept settling and just
one movement caused it to collapse on top of itself.

The Club’s board and its members worked diligently to
find a construction company to tear it down and also
to find the money necessary to pay the cost. We are
a small membership, only 40 paying members and
without the means to fully fund such a venture although
a necessity. The insurance was lapsed quite a few years
ago and no insurance company was able to offer us the
reasonable cost we had before. All insurance companies
wanted a substantial increase because of the age of the
building.

I want to publicly thank the Lake George Association for
the substantial donation it gave to us. Not only was this
a boost to our fund but it gave all of us members a big
boost to our hearts. Since Lakeland Beach Club is
self sustaining with such a small membership, it was voted
that members will pay a small extra fee with the annual
membership dues for just two years in order to cover the
expenses. This was voted on at a meeting which was well
attended. In fact, Terry O’Keefe attended the meeting so
he could speak to us personally.

The Terry O’Keefe Construction company won the bid
and proceeded quickly to ease our fears by taking down
the Wales Landmark. I must say that as I saw through my
tears his men working so diligently to save whatever they
could, it lightened up my heart.They were able to
salvage some chairs, tables, lights. It was a sensitive
procedure to demolish as there were about 8 propane
tanks but all were managed to be taken out safely so
no explosions occurred.

They were not able to save the buoys that surround
and protect the raft and swimming area of our children
due to the entanglement of the ropes but they were able
to save the ladder that goes on the raft. Now our children
will be able to have their beloved raft put out for them
to swim to and jump off from. We are working on
coming up with a solution to replace the buoys.

All donations would be welcome as all of our finances are
going to pay for the removal of the clubhouse. We are
not sure if there will be enough left to pay for rototilling,
more sand for the beach or rocks for the launch pad.

We have seen much destruction between the tornadoes,
the violent storms and then the removal of our beloved
clubhouse but I for one still admire Mother Nature and
all she had to offer us. As a reminder of the beauty
she offers us, I want to add a link here to some
of the most beautiful pictures I have even seen of what
nature CAN create. This makes me feel quite small in
comparison and yet nature was created for us humans
to enjoy.

Simply gorgeous!
This may be one of the most beautiful and meaningful streaming videos ever created. Be sure your speakers are on.

IS REALITY REALLY REAL?

I don’t know if you have ever heard of the chalk guy?
He is a person who can create 3rd dimensional pictures
on streets and sidewalks. People actually avoid “stepping”
on the pictures as they seem so real. The holes actually
seem to be a hole and not just a drawing. He is incredible.
I have attached these pictures for you, enjoy and take a
moment to become aware if “it”(the scene) feels real to you.

Great Crevasse Edgar Mueller. Hard work: Together
with up to five assistants, Mueller painted all day long
from sunrise to sunset.

One of the pictures appeared on the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire ,
Ireland ,as part of the town’s Festival of World Cultures.

The other one he spent five days, working 12 hours a day, to
create the 250 square metre image of the crevasse, which,
viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D.

He then persuaded passers-by to complete the illusion by
pretending the gaping hole was real.’I wanted to play with
positives and negatives to encourage people to think twice
about everything they see,’ he said. ‘It was a very scary scene,
but when people saw it they had great fun playing on it and
pretending to fall into the earth.

‘I like to think that later, when they returned home, they might
reflect more on what a frightening scenario it was and say,
“Wow, that was actually pretty scary.”

Mueller, who has previously painted a giant waterfall in Canada,
said he was Inspired by the British ‘Pavement Picasso’ Julian
Beever, whose dramatic but More gentle 3D street images
have been featured in the Daily Mail.

This guy is amazing no matter how you look at it!
With this insight as to whether it is actually
real or not, it is proof that not all is how it
appears to be. Not all that your mind believes
to be true is actually true, it can be an illusion.
Movies do this to simulate reality although
it is not actual reality. Allow yourself
to question what you always believed to be
true and what others are leading you to
believe.

This has been quite an eventful week for the whole planet.
Such silly things as taking pride in forcing our President
to provide the “long” form of his birth certificate which
only proves the focus of a presidential candidate who
takes away from the seriousness of some of the
world’s greatest disasters to focus on something he
chooses for self gratification. If you or someone you
love was in those disasters, which would you rather
see the President and Congress paying attention to?

I will include an email I received that you might like
to read and pass on. It is my belief that we would be
better off being governed by people who are just like us.
Who can actually “feel” how all the shenanigans
they are playing with are actually affecting the
average American Citizen. It is very easy to make
rules when they do not affect you personally, but
if it directly affects your health and income, you would
make the outcome be entirely different.

If you have never been hungry how can you possibly
understand hunger, if you have never been poor how
can you possibly understand poverty, if you have never
been sick and can’t afford to go to the doctor, how can
you possibly understand the non-insured? ETC………

I personally believe that all of our legislators would be
better lawmakers if they were under the same laws
and rules that they are creating for us. If you agree, let’s
make our voice heard the only way we have, by
joining together and spreading this message.
If you don’t agree, I honor your free choice given
to us by God and the freedom of the USA given to
us by our men and women of the Armed Forces (who
by the way are just like you).

I have no illusions about the complacency
of people. However I am forwarding this
anyway. Perhaps you will too.

The 26th amendment (granting the right
to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months
& 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The
people demanded it. That was in 1971…
before computers, before e-mail, before cell
phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution,
seven (7) took 1 year or less to become
the law of the land…all because of public
pressure.

I’m asking each addressee to forward this
email to a minimum of twenty people on
their address list; in turn ask each of those
to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United
States of America will have the message.
This is one idea that really should be passed
around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. Term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible
options below.

A. Two Six-year Senate terms

B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three
Two-Year House terms

2. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while
in office and receives no pay when
they are out of office.

3. Congress (past, present & future)
participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement
fund move to the Social Security system
immediately. All future funds flow into the
Social Security system, and Congress
participates with the American people.

4. Congress can purchase their own
retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves
a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by
the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care
system and participates in the same health
care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws
they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present
Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.

9. The Congress will be in session five
days a week just like their boss (the
American People), no more of this
T-W-Th part-time job nonsense!

The American people did not make
this contract with Congressmen.
Congressmen made all these contracts
for themselves .

Serving in Congress is an honor,not a career.
The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators,
so ours should serve their term(s), then go
home and back to work.

This would illuminate careered politicians with
CEO’s and professional experienced
men and women who contribute back to their country!

If each person contacts a minimum of
twenty people then it will only take
three days for most people (in the U.S. )
to receive the message. Maybe it is time .
If you agree with the above, pass it on.
If not, just delete.

My heart and my compassion go out to all who have been
affected by the tornadoes and all those weather changes that
have been affecting the world. I have some info you might
like if you are thinking of donating for these unfortunate
beings.

As you open your pockets, please keep these facts in mind:
The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans
salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses.

The United Way President Brian Gallagher receives a
$375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefit.

UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives$1,200,000 per year
(100K per month) plus all expenses including a Roll Royce.
Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the cause.

The Salvation Army’s Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a
salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for
managing this $2 billion dollar organization.

96 percent of donated dollars go to the cause.
You probably can guess who I send my donations to. I want my
money to go to those in need.

Support the Salvation Army. Call 1-800-SAL-ARMY or text
“GIVE” to 80888 to make a $10 donation.

God bless you for taking the time and energy to consider
others.

Love and Light,
Mary Grace

JOIN IN PRAYER FOR WATER IN JAPAN – DR. EMOTO

We, as one species on one planet, are being offered an
opportunity to help our Beloved Planet Earth, our home,
to heal herself and thereby heal ourselves. Have you
ever heard of Dr. Musura Emoto, the Emissary of water?
He has proven scientifically that positive words to water
and even bottles of water, changes the molecular structure
of water.

He is offering us, the people of the planet, an opportunity
to gather in solidarity of intent to heal what is happening
to the nuclear plant in Japan. On Thursday, March 31st
at noon in all time zones, we will gather together in Spirit
and mind to either say silently or out loud this prayer that
the water be healed of all that is harming it.

Will you join me?

Prayer:

“The water of Fukushima nuclear plant, we are sorry to
make you suffer. Please forgive us. We thank you and
we love you.”

Say aloud or silently in your mind. Repeat three times
as you put your hand together in prayer position. Please
offer your sincere prayer in love and gratitude.

Imagine what you can do in a few minutes in your own
space, your loving energy will make a difference.

I will include here the email I received and the link to
a Youtube video of Dr. Emoto speaking to us.

To All People Around the World

Please send your prayers of love and gratitude
to water at the nuclear plants in Fukushima,
Japan!

By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9
and surreal massive tsunamis, more than
10,000 people are still missing…even now…
It has been 16 days already since the
disaster happened. What makes it worse
is that water at the reactors of Fukushima
Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it’s
contaminating the ocean, air and water
molecule of surrounding areas.

Human wisdom has not been able to do
much to solve the problem, but we are
only trying to cool down the anger of
radioactive materials in the reactors
by discharging water to them.

Is there really nothing else to do?

I think there is. During over twenty year
research of hado measuring and water
crystal photographic technology, I have
been witnessing that water can turn
positive when it receives pure vibration of human
prayer no matter how far away it is.
Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2
really means that Energy = number of
people and the square of people’s
consciousness.

Now is the time to understand the
true meaning. Let us all join the
prayer ceremony as fellow citizens
of the planet earth. I would like to
ask all people, not just in Japan, but
all around the world to please help us
to find a way out the crisis of this planet!!
The prayer procedure is as follows.

Name of ceremony:
“Let’s send our thoughts of love and
gratitude to all water in the nuclear
plants in Fukushima”

Day and Time:
March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear
Plant, we are sorry to make you suffer.
Please forgive us. We thank you, and
we love you.”

Please say it aloud or in your mind.
Repeat it three times as you put your
hands together in a prayer position.

Please offer your sincere prayer.

Thank you very much from my heart.

With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto
Messenger of Water
