NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS
A Note From Peg Johnson
Dear Board members and residents of JBMI,
Words are totally inadequate to express my deep
appreciation to the moorage for your concern and
support during the past 3 months. When I left the
moorage on Friday morning, July 2, I knew
something was wrong but it didn't occur to me that I
wouldn't return for 3 months or that my life would be
irrevocably changed.
I will be returning to my houseboat the first
weekend in October. I will have a caregiver 24/7
and continue my rehab from the river. I will not be
able to continue on the Board, or as a Row Captain.
I am deeply grateful to Dick Robinson for stepping
in to the president's shoes and the rest of the Board
for their hard work and support. I am very sorry that
my Officer term is ending so abruptly.
Thank you all for the active caring you have shown
me and my family during this very difficult time. It
means so much.
Peg Johnson

Christmas Ships Cruise For The 56th Year
Plan your holiday get-togethers for the nights the
Christmas Ships cruise through the harbor.
This year, again, they cruise by on two Friday nights
– December 10th and December 17th.
For more information, see their site at
www.christmasships.org. They will be posting any
weather related cancellations on their site this year.
You can also check out their entire schedules for
both rivers.
Kathy Baker
Looking For A New Newsletter Editor –
Is It You?
I’ve really enjoyed the last 9 years as your
newsletter editor, but its time for someone else to
take over the reins. This is your chance to have a
huge impact on your community for just a few hours
a month!
The requirements are pretty simple. You need to
have the ability to receive and send email, some
type of word processing program (preferably Word
or similar), good spelling and grammar, a few hours
to produce the newsletter toward the end of each
month, and the ability to work with the office, the
board, and other residents.
Most importantly, you must have common sense
and a sense of responsibility when it comes to
accepting articles from others and working with
them to edit when appropriate.
That’s not too tough – right?
We started this newsletter 9 years ago to provide a
means of communication for all residents to all
residents and a venue for the officers, board, and
management to communicate as well.
FROM THE MOORAGE OFFICE . .
Pets
We are continuing to receive complaints about pet
clean up, noise, unleashed dogs, and roaming cats.
Please be reminded that JBMI Pet Policy has a
penalty assessment schedule within it for violations.
All moorage residents are obligated to abide by the
JBMI Pet Policy and all new resident since the
policy’s inception in 2005, have signed and agreed
to the terms.
(continued)
I’d REALLY hate to see this important publication
end and I’d really LOVE to hand it off to someone
who will continue it in the same vein.
If you fit the bill, PLEASE contact Dick Robinson
(503-289-7789 or [email protected]) as soon as
possible. This important job needs to be filled soon.
2
FROM THE MOORAGE OFFICE . . (continued)
The highlights of the policy are that pet owners
WILL leash their dogs on moorage property, keep
cats restrained to their own house float and "scoop"
pet waste with a plastic bag and dispose of it in the
dumpster. Your efforts in this matter will be greatly
appreciated by all.
Pre-Winter Check Up
As we head into Fall, this is a great time to get a
jump on cold weather preparation for your home.
Take the time now to make sure you are ready for
all that WINTER can deliver. It is much better to
inspect while the weather is decent than to try to
make critical repairs in a snow, ice or windstorm.
A-F Dock Project Update
JBMI, with Steelhead Construction, has been
working on the dock project for almost a month.
See below the progress for Rows F and E:
Here are a few suggestions:
 Check the condition and sturdiness of your
chain-up and standoff connections.
 Inspect your stringers for ample clearance
above the water line. A small amount of ice
build-up can have your stringers dipping in the
river and taking on more water.
 Make sure water and sewer connections are
secure and easy to reach.
 Keep emergency contact information for utilities
handy. PGE Power outage # is 503-228-6322,
NW Natural Gas # is 800-882-3377.
 Stock your Emergency Kit with items such as
emergency lighting, water, snacks, radio and
first aid supplies.
Row F - Part A (stand-off) installed.
 I Beams installed.
 Gas line moved and reconnected.
 Cross-arms installed to support conduit for
phone and cable.
 Conduit installed for phone and cable.
 Preliminary work done by electrician for
walkway lighting.
 Floatation tubs installed.
Row E - Part A (stand-off) installed.
 I Beams installed.
 Brackets installed for future gas line.
 Floatation tubs installed.
The next step with these rows will be to open up the
decking to make repairs on existing framework.
Scheduling for this next step and beginning D Row
is in the works. Our estimated completion date for
this project is mid-November. Thank you for your
patience with the inconveniences during this
project. Both Art and the Steelhead crew are doing
a fantastic job!
Bulletin Boards
A big “thank you” to Cathy Robinson for dressing up
our bulletin boards. Great Job!
Moorage Security
JBMI has had no reported incidents of theft or
vandalism in the past 30-days. This is due in part
to the increased efforts of our Security Company
and residents from our moorage. Thank you for
your help. If you have interest in finding ways that
we can each help keep our area safe, Mark Wells,
Coordinator for the City of Portland Crime
Prevention is available to talk with residents here at
JBMI. Please let the office know if you are
interested.
Peace And Harmony
Most of us enjoy the peace and harmony of daily
river living but at times one man's pleasure can
affect others close by. The office has been asked to
remind all residents that sound is magnified and
amplified on the river and you may not realize how
easily it travels.
Please be courteous of your neighbors when it
comes to the volume of your music, loud
conversations (shouting) even idling your boat
motor for long periods of time. If any of these type
activities are done in excess, it can ruin the
peaceful enjoyment those close by.
With your
consideration, your neighbors will appreciate your
efforts to foster the peace and harmony in the
neighborhood.
Visitor Parking
The JBMI parking policy states that visitor parking is
along the N Jantzen Avenue fence line or in the
small parking lot west of the West vehicle gates.
Both areas are posted with Visitor Parking signs.
These areas were designated Visitor Parking to
reduce the congestion at the Ramp 7 & 6 parking
areas since member parking is in short supply
there. Members in the Ramp 6 & 7 area are
reminded to make their visitors aware of this
parking requirement.
In turn, there will be
improved parking availability for the residents in that
area.
(continued)

FROM THE MOORAGE OFFICE . . (continued)
Granting Gate Access
As a reminder: When you get a call from the gate
in the middle of the night or from an unknown caller,
PLEASE do not grant access to them by pressing 9
on your telephone. If you do not know the caller
remind them to call the individual they came to visit
or are leaving.
Tailgating Continues
The office continues to get reports of tailgating
incidents and it is not always a Guest or Visitor.
PLEASE be reminded to use your gate card for
access and to let you visitors know that they MUST
call you from the Telephone Entry unit to gain
access into or out of the moorage property.
FROM THE PRESIDENT
September always marks the end of the year for
me. I know there are still three months left, but as
summer ends and the leaves begin to turn it seems
like Thanksgiving, Halloween and then the
Christmas holidays are just around the corner. And
no matter how hard I try to be prepared for each
event I always feel like I need more time.
The fall is also a busy time for those who care for
your moorage. The maintenance department has
already started their year-end ritual of sweeping
leaves and assuring that water pipes are protected
from winter freezes; the office staff is starting to
plan for our annual budget review; and the board is
once again preparing their "wish lists" for next year
and looking for new volunteers.
JBMI is a big business.
We only have four
employees doing the day-to-day chores, but they
are backed up by a 10-member board and a dozen
others who work on our committees to oversee our
finances and assure that our infrastructure is
always in working order.
It's all important work and the constant
improvements you see around the moorage would
not happen without everyone working together for
the good of the whole. Our seasonal planters, tidy
bulletin boards, increased parking, beautification
standards and interstate bridge oversight would not
occur without our volunteers.
Typical of most non-profit organizations, 10 percent
of the people do 90 percent of the work and at JBMI
it is even less - and I can tell you from personal
experience that the core of our volunteers, those
who sit on more than one committee and whose
spouses sit on others, are getting tired. No matter
how hard we work there is always more to do. At
the moment, we need people to oversee our
website, publish our newsletter, and help on a wide
variety of committees. In addition to our current
Parking, Architectural, Landscape and Human
Resource committees, we need help to oversee the
I-5 project, review and revise our bylaws, review
and revise our assessment policies, start a program
to collect and redistribute used building materials,
assist with security, and other issues. And, more
importantly, by the end of the year we will need
several new board members.
As the old saying goes, "many hands make for light
work" and in our case we would love to have a
couple dozen more volunteers to help out. The
Board of Directors is a one to three year
commitment (depending on the position) that begins
every February but the committees have no
limitations and you can join at any time, and both
generally meet just one evening a month. Please
consider doing your part and give me a call or write
to learn more about how you can help.

FROM THE BOARD & COMMITTEES
From the Architecture Committee
This October, members of the Architecture
Committee will conduct a walk-around of the
moorage to assess general issues of fire safety,
structural safety, and general appearance of
members’ homes.
Fire Safety – Side walkways must have 24” clear
passage to allow fire and emergency personnel
access to the back of all homes. Deck boards must
not be missing, and must be in sound condition to
support weight.
(continued)
4
FROM THE BOARD & COMMITTEES (continued)
Structural safety – We will check to see if wooden
stringers are touching the water, and check that
deck boards, stairs, or railings are in good structural
condition.
General appearance – We will identify
“appearance-challenged” homes with serious paint
conditions and/or excessive visible junk or refuse.
We will also check to see if there is easy boat
passage in all the lagoons for neighbors and the fire
boat.
Residents with worrisome situations that need
maintenance soon will receive a letter with a
description of the problem, and a request for a
member’s response with their plans for clean-up or
repair. Any resident who needs help with their
home should contact the moorage office for
assistance. JBMI will try to work with any resident!
If anyone wants to volunteer to help a neighbor, or if
anyone has excess building materials for deck
boards, please contact the office too.
The Architecture Committee will do walk-arounds
twice per year, and the next one will be in April
2011.
From the JBMI Bylaws:
Appearance and Neighborliness:
“Your home must present a neat and orderly
appearance. The exterior should be kept clean and
be repainted (if applicable) periodically.”
“Personal property including firewood kept outside
of your floating home must be stacked or arranged
in an orderly manner. No trash or junk may be
visible from the moorage walkways or other floating
homes.”
Article XIII - Section 2 Maintenance of Floats and
Homes
“Each Member shall maintain his floating home,
boats, floats, and all other personal property
belonging to him/her at the moorage in good order
and repair and in a clean condition.”
Thank you for making this a beautiful place to live!

The Letter & The Response
Bob Jones of A Row asked that I share this letter
from Kathy Harrison and his response, so here it is.
The Letter September 2, 2010
To Residents and Members of A-Row:
As was stated in my letter sent to you on August 10,
2010, we are beginning the A-F Project.
On May 6, 2010, residents and members of A-Row,
Board Members, and JBMI staff met to discuss
improvements to be made on A-Row.
Shortly
thereafter, a Project Survey was sent out to get
preferences on any changes.
The results of the survey were to upgrade the roof,
supports and hand railing.
We intend to give the new roof more pitch to
improve lighting, and replace the wood supports
with steel. We will also replace the wood railing
with aluminum to match the rest of the moorage.
Repairs will be made to the existing infrastructure.
Electrical, Qwest and Comcast wires will be
cleaned up and secured in conduit.
Along with the survey, came some comments and
concerns. The main concern raised was the
obstructed passage to and from resident’s homes.
Items such as table and chairs are placed on the
walkway, making it difficult to pass. In addition,
congregating on the walkways was found
intimidating at times.
Our Rules and Regulations speak of keeping the
walkways and common areas completely clean of
personal property and other items. In addition, they
speak against anything that disturbs the peaceful
enjoyment of others in the moorage.
(continued)
5
YOUR TURN (continued)
I am aware that the walkway gatherings have been
an issue on A-Row for a long time, and I hope that
we can come to some common ground to resolve
this issue in a respectful manner. One suggestion
would be to work together to create a gathering
place away from the walkway.
I would like to open dialogue on this issue, so
please forward any ideas or thoughts.
Sincerely,
Kathy Harrison
Moorage Manager
Jantzen Beach Moorage
The Response –
Received your survey response letter regarding Arow's long overdue upgrades, roof, supports, hand
railings etc., which we've been paying extra for, for
a very long time. I'm glad someone has realized
that we're part of the moorage too. My concern,
though, was half of your letter consisted of all the
hardship a few were making life unbearable for the
rest of the A-Row residents. Omg, a table & a few
chairs on the walkway during a community bbq,
always put away when the event was over. And the
fear factor of a few neighbors congregating on the
walkway enjoying the river life from time to time has
always been a huge long-time issue. I can’t believe
anyone on this whole river would complain about
the joy we had living down here. And, Kathy, I can’t
believe you had the #@&% to send us this letter;
just hope the bridge buy-out will happen soon so I
can get away from what used to be a great place to
live.
Bob Jones
Improvements to A-Row
It appears that finally we (the residents of Row A)
will start to see some badly needed improvements
to our walkway shortly! We have decided to keep
the walkway surface (concrete) and the overhead
roofing in an upgraded manner but we’ll receive
new railings to match the rest of the moorage.
YEAH! They say patience is a virtue?
Michelle Tworoger
Letter to Mr. Sondland & Ms. Durant
I want to share the following letter from an island
resident. She speaks from her heart about the
damages of the sex trade including strip bars. It
has been sent to the owners of the proposed strip
club property and ties in with the national coverage
on ABC news and Nightline of “Pornland”.
Ron Schmidt
Dear Mr. Sondland and Ms. Durant,
You have an opportunity to rent a vacant building
you own in my neighborhood (Hayden Island) to an
"adult entertainment" club.
Ms. Durant, you stated to the leadership of Hayden
Island Livability Project (HILP) and Hayden Island
Neighborhood Network (HINOON) that this is one of
only a few options for the property. Having this
building occupied will increase its value for eminent
domain purposes for the I-5 bridge project.
I
propose to you that occupying this building in order
to reap the financial benefit can be done in a more
desirable way for the community.
(continued)
6
As recipients of the "Portland Citizen of the Year"
award, I am sure you are proud of the impacts you
had on the Inner City neighborhood and would like
to have a positive imprint on Hayden Island. There
are many alternatives to leasing this property. The
local community would support these options and
you could still ring your bell publicly!
This year alone 200,000 children are at risk for
sexual trafficking in the United States. 900,000
children were victims of abuse or neglect in 2008. 1
in 58 were abused in the United States in 2006 of
which 32% were under the age of 4. Not only are
children the most frequent victims of violence, and
the problems of victimization and criminal offending
are clearly intertwined.
I wonder how much you know about strip bars strip bars are breeding grounds of self-perpetuating
dysfunction. I was kidnapped and "put to work" in a
strip bar. Therefore, I am a lifelong eyewitness and
victim.
The nature of victimization risk changes in
predictable ways over the course of childhood.
Victimization of younger children occurs at the
hands of family members, and as children age, the
amount of victimization at the hands of
acquaintances and strangers increases.
The
average age of entry into human trafficking is 12 to
13. Little attention has been given to the cognitive
and attitudinal dimensions like what happens to a
child's views about justice, morality, fairness, and
trust in human interactions. Wouldn’t it be nice to
stop this chain of negativity as opposed to
promoting it?
Poly-victimization is the continual daily abuses not
an individual event of which I am a survivor. Mine
started at 8. Long-term effects of abuse and polyvictimization create the "flesh" employed in strip
bars. The definition of abuse is: to use in a harmful,
injurious manner; to commit physical, sexual, or
emotional assault upon; to deceive or mislead; a
corrupt or improper practice; deception, misuse, to
waste, to use.
Sex trade workers perpetuate the abuse upon
themselves. Many suffer from a form of Stockholm
syndrome.
Others manifest undiagnosed dual
mental maladies. Others are forced by threat of
physical harm to themselves or their children. The
vast majority of strip club workers are unemployable
in any other field. The result of their abuses have
resulted in cognitive imbalances, developmental
arrest, emotive regulatory problems, addiction and
the list goes on... Very few people enter into the
human trafficking trade (stripping, prostitution) as a
chosen career. The few that claim it as a chosen
career have skewed developmental processes via
abuse.
Strip bars/human trafficking enable
functioning addicts by financially sustaining the
dysfunctional family. You teach what you know!
In the twenty-five years that I have worked strip
bars, every single worker I had met has been
abused in their childhood. The degree of severity
varied but not the number, not one. Owners of
these establishments generally have ties with
prostitution, phone sex, massage parlors, etc. All of
which launder ill-gotten gains. The definition of a
predator is: an organism that lives by praying on
other organisms; living by or given to exploiting or
destroying others for ones own gain. Other
related words are vulture, piranha, and marauder.
We must focus on changing a societal system
where such abuse is possible.
It takes no
imagination to draw the line from abuse to the
financial impact on society within the legal and
health industries long term. I was trapped as a
child, prosecuted as an adult, and as a clean and
sober aging woman, I'm surrounded by societal
denial and advocating via dismissal. Portland has
the second largest sex industry/human trafficking in
the nation second only to Las Vegas. As was
quoted in the most recent article in the Willamette
Week, the intersection of I-5 and 84 and the
intersection of the Willamette River and Columbia
River is a perfect breeding ground for more human
trafficking. A strip club (as a front) on Hayden
Island is a perfect location for a much bigger sex
trade business.
In light of all the facts presented, the available
building would best serve the community in one of
the following ways:1. a shelter for surviving children of the human
trafficking industry
2. a local community church is looking for a donated
property even temporarily to operate within the
community
3. a temporary food bank or health care clinic
4. any other tax deductible charitable organization
(continued)
7
All of the above meet the financial criteria and
contribute positively to the community of North
Portland and Hayden Island.
I would love to help in anyway possible and would
like to meet with you in person to discuss the
situation further. We have a strong and vibrant
community and there are many of us that will help
with another type of endeavor.
It is not
unreasonable to want to occupy your property and
increase its value but please consider the impact on
future sex industry victims and our society as a
whole.
Please feel free to contact me at anytime. Thank
you for your time and attention.

West Hayden Island
Rachael Hoy – Bureau of Planning and
Sustainability
Amy Ruiz – The Mayor's office
Mindy Brooks – Bureau of Planning and
Sustainability – Environmental Planner
Amy - 18 months more per City Council direction to
further study a 300-acre marine development and
500 acre habitat. Council wants a lot more due
diligence and the Mayor wants the Council much
more involved in the process.
Rachael – Reviewed changes to the Mayor's
Resolution for 300-acre development and the
process of how the City will proceed with the due
diligence. The process will be very “hearings”
oriented.
Included handouts of the different
phases.
Phase one has been completed. Phase two Fall/
Winter 2010 – 2011 new technical reports to City
Council, Phase Three – Winter/Spring 2011 –
Concept Plan Development, Phase Four –
S u m m e r / F a l l 2 0 11 – L e g i s l a t i v e P r o c e s s
(Annexation report, Plan District , Zoning Maps)
She said that we on the island will be represented
in the process.
Mindy – Three step process to update the City's
Environmental program for Hayden Island, both
east and west.

OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT AFFECT JBMI
HiNoon Meeting Notes - September 9, 2010
Call to Order, Roll Call, and Approval of Agenda:
The Board of Directors meeting of the HINoon was
called to order at 7:00 PM on August 12, 2010 in
the Hayden Island Yacht Club Building by Roger
Staver, HINoon President.
Two new board members were announced. Amy
Welch and Morgan Johnson will split the duty from
Hayden Bay.
Bridget Johnson will be the
representative from Lotus Isle Homes.
Marty said he would take over temporary treasurer
until we can get somebody to fill the position for
Peg Johnson.
From Susie Lahsene – Port of Portland The Port is
funding this entire process except for the
environmental reviews of the east end of the island.
The first phase cost $440,000 and this next phase
will cost $450,000.
HILP - Pam Ferguson – the next HILP meeting is
next Thursday, 9/16/10 and Rachael Hoy and Mindy
Brooks will present as well as somebody from DEQ
regarding West Hayden Island.
Bob Sallinger – Portland Audubon Society
Perspective of WHI. The current process was a
waste of time and money. Audubon wants to have
an independent audit to look at West Hayden Island
without the politics.
(continued)
Police Officer Mark Snyder said to make sure that
we report all car prowls – either by phone or on-line.
He is stretched very thin, has a big area to cover
and the squeaky wheel gets the grease so we need
to be sure and report everything if we want better
coverage. A unique problem we have is criminals
can come from Vancouver, commit crimes and
escape back to Washington. Mark Wells is our ONI
police rep.

FROM HINooN, WOOO, &
OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT AFFECT JBMI

Dredging and disposal on West Hayden Island –
the dredge material from the Post Office Bar area is
part of the Super Fund site in the Willamette and
contains low levels of lead, zinc, DDT and PCBs. It
is considered too contaminated for residential use
but OK for commercial where it would be capped
but the Port has four years before it needs to cap it.
The process to get approval for this dredging was
flawed and, maybe, fraudulent.
mercenary in their actions.
The Executive
Committee will determine the next steps. We talked
about picketing but it might be hard to get enough
people to stay the course long enough to do any
good given Jantzen Beach Moorage would not take
a stand and the outcry from the populace has not
been strong. Timme suggested that we write and
email the owners’ contacts in important and visible
places such as the Art Museum Board, which was
considered a good idea.
Sondland is very
supportive of the nonprofit Girls, Inc., which seems
to be a huge contradiction.
Ed Garren commented that the whole push by the
Port is fraudulent. Susie Lahsene presented the
case for the Port saying that they followed proper
protocol and the materials are not contaminated.
Roger handed out a list of OLCC changes which
are mainly housekeeping on their part. (Secretary’s
note, one proposed change would impose as
restrictions, parts of a licensee’s control plan that
were essential to the decision to grant the license.
Control plans are currently not enforceable by the
OLCC. This may dramatically increase the powers
of the OLCC to enforce standards which we would
support)
Marla Harrison, Port of PDX Environmental
Manager, Marine and Industrial Development said
that the dredge material was not a problem and
went through what testing it had gone through.
The Playground in Lotus Isle Park – this has
been closed for several months now because the
wood is pressure treated with nasty chemicals and
the City is considering taking over the maintenance
responsibility from Columbia Crossings.
By-Laws – the by-laws changes have gone out via
email for review and will go to the Executive
committee soon.
Mary Beth – Police are coming up with new use of
force rules.
Bob Sallinger will talk at the October meeting about
the many things that Audubon does other than try to
protect West Hayden Island. Also, he will update us
on the dredge dumping.
November meeting – CRC will give a presentation.
Ron Schmidt, JBMI Representative
Strip Club – the property owners have said they
will no longer talk to us about it. Inside sources
have told us that Sondland and Durant are very

This is my personal favorite green bean casserole,
made from scratch, but totally easy.

My Favorite Green Bean Casserole
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup diced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup sour cream
2 (14.5 ounce) cans French-style green beans,
drained
Topping:
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed Ritz (or similar) crackers
1/4 cup melted butter
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium sauté or fry
pan large enough to hold all the ingredients. Add
the diced onions, minced parsley, and diced
mushrooms and sauté slowly, without boiling until
onions are translucent and mushrooms are giving
off their juice, stirring as needed.
Add flour, salt, pepper, and lemon juice; cook for a
couple of minutes so flour isn’t raw. Add sour
cream, stir to combine, then add green beans and
stir again until combined.
Put mixture in 10x6” or 9” square baking dish. Top
with grated cheese.
In a separate bowl, mix
crushed crackers and melted butter together with a
fork, then distribute evenly over the top.
Heat
through in preheated oven until bubbly and brown,
around 20-30 minutes.
Great for leftovers if you have any. You can double
all ingredients and use a 13x9 pan. It may take a
little longer to heat through, but no other changes
needed in the directions.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
New Ideas
The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest,
said, 'You had a good idea to replace the first four
pews with plush bucket theater seats. It worked like
a charm. The front of the church always fills first
now.'
The young priest nodded, and the old
priest
continued, 'And you told me adding a little more
beat to the music would bring young people back to
church, so I supported you when you brought in that
Rock 'n Roll Gospel Choir. Now our services are
consistently packed to the balcony.'
'Thank you, Father,' answered the young priest. 'I
am pleased that you are open to the New Ideas of
Youth.'
'All of these ideas have been well and good,' said
the elderly priest, 'But I'm afraid you've gone too far
with the Drive-thru Confessional.'
'But Father,' protested the young priest, 'my
confessions and the donations have nearly doubled
since I began that!'
'Yes,' replied the elderly priest, 'and I appreciate
that.... But the flashing neon sign, 'Toot 'n Tell or Go
to Hell' cannot stay on the church roof.
