Program: Sam Siegel introduced Ofir Rozenberg with the Mobile Area Jewish Federation.
Ms. Rozenberg was born and raised in a small town of about 150 families in Israel. As is true of all young Israeli’s, she served in the Israeli Defense Forces. She then gave a short description of Israel, beginning with the location, which has Israel in the middle of Africa, Asia and Europe. It is a very small country, and though most people in the world think of Israel as desert, she showed pictures of the very diverse and modern aspects of her country.
She explained that 74.8% of the population is Jewish, 20.8% Arab and 4.3% made up the rest. The total population is more than 8.5 million. Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948 and is a parliamentary democracy. The language is Hebrew, but most everyone also speaks English. Some of the well-known nicknames for Israel include Zion, the Holy Land, the Promised Land, and the Land of Milk and Honey.
Once Israel was established, Jews came from all over the world to settle there. The culture is very diverse in appearance.
For virtually all Israelis, military service begins after high school. Women are required to serve two years, while men serve three years. In addition to defense of Israel, the purpose of the military is to teach the youth about Israel and its values. The military is also active in humanitarian aid. One example includes sending help to the United States after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
Although many people are not aware, Israel is a leader in technological development, including the development of the USB drive, pill cam and cherry tomatoes. Also, the defensive capabilities used by the U. S., nicknamed the Iron Dome, was co-developed with the United States.
Finally, Ms. Rozenberg showed pictures of life in Israel, which showed lush green areas and beautiful beaches among the more historic Holy Land, Jerusalem, Nazareth and the Dead Sea. She closed by stating that Israel is open to Christians to practice their faith, unlike so many of the other surrounding states.
Les Greer thanked Ofir Rozenberg for her presentation and presented a certificate to her, noting that a donation in her honor had been made to the Rotary International Foundation.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:00 pm.

Program: Rear Admiral Thomas E. Ishee
Rich Landolt introduced Thomas E. Ishee who serves as the Deputy Commander, Joint Functional Command for Global Strike. Admiral Ishee told the audience that he was glad to be in Mobile for Navy Week where he was born and has many relatives.
Admiral Ishee reminded the group of the importance of the U. S. Navy when 80% of the world’s population lives in proximity to an ocean, 90% of world trade occurs over water, and 95% of all international communications goes under water by cable for computers, telephone and cell phones. Mobile is an important part of this trade as it is the nation’s 10th busiest port, he added.
Whether it is the South China Sea, the Middle East or northern Europe, the Navy strives to deter aggression and keep trade routes open and safe, as well as offer humanitarian relief when needed.
After answering a number of questions, Admiral Ishee was thanked by Les Greer who presented him with a certificate noting that a donation in his honor was made to the Rotary International Foundation which is celebrating a century of service.
The meeting adjourned at 1:00 PM.

By: Henry R. Seawell, IV
Invocation, Song, Music and Pledge
The meeting was called to order by club president, Les Greer. Jerrime Kitsos offered the invocation. Tommy Fulton led the Song and Pledge, accompanied by Bill Oppenheimer on the piano. Mr. Greer offered his Rotary Tidbit of the week, informing the Club that two Rotary chapters are currently in operation in Antarctica, despite the fact that the continent has no permanent residents.
Introduction of Guests and Visitors: Tom Martenstein.
Announcements: The Rotary District cruise is scheduled to begin on April 27, 2017, while the Rotary of Mobile golf tournament will be held on April 18, 2017. A board meeting was held on the same day as the meeting. RYLA will be held for high school juniors and seniors from March 9-12, 2017, and members were encouraged to contact Peggy Buggs or Aimee Risser for additional information about this event. The Board of Directors for Rotary Mobile recently announced its intention to match all donations to the Rotary Foundation with the stated objective of increasing the number of Paul Harris fellows in our club by 50.
Cameron Robinson, a Rotary Student of the Week in January of this year, has formed an Interact Club at Murphy High School. This Club is being sponsored by Rotary of Mobile and 65 students have already signed up to be involved. Additionally, Sunrise Rotary Club has 48 new members, and officers will be inducted contemporaneously with the Club’s chartering this spring.
Student of the Week
The student of the week was Shelby “Cate” Hodges, a senior at St. Paul’s Episcopal School, introduced by Jeff Luther and Dr. Mark Foley. Dr. Foley described how Cate’s character had developed during the course of her time at St. Paul’s and shared her Grade Point Average, a staggering 4.4. We wish Cate every success in her future endeavors.
Program
Speaker: Mr. Sandy Stimpson, the 108th Mayor of the City of Mobile, Alabama, was introduced by Rich Landolt and offered the Club a very informative glance into the State of the City. Mayor Stimpson broke down the happenings in the city into three categories, Exciting, Challenging and Choices.
A major source of Excitement in the city is the thriving business community and rapidly improving infrastructure. Some examples include Carnival Cruise Lines, which returned to the City after a multi-year absence and has been operating at 115% capacity; Austal, which is building three ships a year, including two LCSs (Littoral Combat Ships); Airbus is continuing to ramp up production and will be assembling one aircraft per week by the end of this year; twenty-five new restaurants have opened in the Port City in the past year; and Wal-Mart announced their intent to station a major distribution facility in our area. Of interest to our members who reside on the Eastern Shore, ALDOT and Thompson Engineering have been working diligently to transform the I-10 Bridge from concept to creation. Thompson has nearly completed its environmental impact study and construction could begin the latter part of 2018.
Despite the business successes described above, Mobile is experiencing some major Challenges, as well. Most notably, the public housing in the Mobile area has deteriorated to an unacceptable level. The Mayor’s office is working with HUD in an attempt to alleviate this situation. Additionally, the I-Team continues to scour the city identifying blight. Mayor Stimpson described a new bill pending during this legislative session that would help expedite the acquisition of blighted and abandoned properties in order to more expeditiously deal with this problem.
Finally, Mayor Stimpson encouraged all Rotarians to make Choices that support the continued strength and prosperity of our city. With the return of GulfQuest and new exhibits at the Exploreum, downtown Mobile is more vibrant and culturally sophisticated than ever. We were asked to pray for the city of Mobile and participate in its evolution from “Good to Great.” A comprehensive facilities assessment is taking place and the viability of the city’s 500 properties, including the Civic Center, are under review.
The meeting was adjourned.

Minutes of the February 9, 2017 Meeting
The Rotary Club of Mobile
Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by club president Les Greer at 12:15 PM. Norman Nicolson offered the invocation and Jeff Zoghby welcomed members’ guests and visiting Rotarians. Larry Sindel led the club in song and the Pledge.
Student Guest: Andrew Barfoot, a senior at Satsuma High School, was introduced by Jay Turner and then presented with the Youth Merit Award.
Announcements:
• Board Meeting: The board will meet following the meeting on February 16.
• Please contact Aimee Risser or Peggy regarding Rotary Youth Leadership Camp to be held March 9-12 for high school juniors and seniors.
• The Rotary Golf Tournament is scheduled for April 18.
• The Rotary District Meeting and cruise will be on April 27.
• Les Greer reminded the audience that the club will match with points a member’s cash contribution to qualify as a Paul Harris Fellow. The offer is valid through the month of February. Please check with Robert Greer to see how many points you need.
• A Rotary General Fund Grant in the amount of $8,000 has been awarded to the Dumas-Wesley Center. Kate Carver thanked the club and said that the funds will assist with computer updates to aid after school programs and a nine week summer camp. She also invited members to stop by for a visit and see the work being done at the center.
Program: Charlie McNichol– The Mobile County Communications District
Rich Landolt introduced Charlie McNichol, executive director for the MCCD which handles county wide 911 calls. Mr. McNichol traced the history of the 911 system noting that the first call in the state was made in 1968 but that Mobile did not have the system until 1984 thanks to legislation introduced by Ann Bedsole (now Holmes).
He explained that the MCCD is located near the Mobile County Fairgrounds and operated by a board appointed by the county commissioners. Funding comes entirely from a fee paid on telephone bills, he added.
Mr. McNichol said that in December some 21,606 calls were answered at the center and did say that unfortunately between 10-12% of calls are “dropped.” When this occurs the operator is required to call the caller back to confirm that an emergency does not exist. At this time of year they are often called by locals wanting to know the parade route for that evening’s Mardi Gras event and the operators have that information at hand.
Mobile has an efficient center and the operators are carefully trained with the latest technology for the best response times. McNichol added that Mobile’s was the first center in the state to accept texts from callers. He welcomes site visits and in fact the center is now on local schools’ field trip lists.
After answering a number of questions, Les thanked the speaker and said that in his honor a donation has been made to the Rotary International Foundation.
The meeting adjourned at 1:00 PM.

Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by President Les Greer. Kathy Miller gave the invocation, followed by Tommy Blankenship, who led us in song and the Pledge. Bill Oppenheimer accompanied on the piano.
Introduction of Guests & Visitors: Jeff Zoghby introduced our guests along with visiting Rotarians.
Student Guest: No student guest this week.
Announcements: The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards will be March 9th – 12th for High School Juniors and Seniors. See Aimee Risser or Peggy Bugg for more information. Jimmy Lyon announced that the Golf Tournament will be held on April 18th. The District Cruise will be April 27th. Ken Robinson presented an award to Robbie McClure for the Club’s financial support of the Polio program which occurred under McClure’s leadership.
Program: Jan McKay introduced Bill Alden, President and CEO of the DEA Education Foundation as our speaker.
Mr. Alden spoke about the traveling exhibit, “Drugs – Costs and Consequences”, which will be shown at the Exploreum beginning February 3rd, and continuing until Labor Day of this year. More than 7,000 school kids have been booked to view the exhibit in Mobile.
This new exhibit is a smaller, less expensive version of one that has been used in much larger venues around the country. The new version was renovated at a cost of $600,000.00, and reduced from a footprint of 10,000 sq. ft. to 5,000 sq. ft. This has made it possible to be shown in mid-size cities, of which Mobile is the first. Prior to this time, 23 million visitors have attended the exhibit.
Mr. Alden described a partnership with federal backing that has allowed the program to add a full-time administrator. The Mobile effort has found support through a steering committee and the cooperation of several media partners.
He then described some of the changes that have occurred in the techniques of drug traffickers. For example, instead of cutting the drugs with sugar, they have used very dangerous and deadly “boosters” to their drugs. These additives are designed to increase the power of the “high”, and to add to the addictive capacities of the drugs. Just last year, 53,000 victims died of overdoses, mostly from the additives to heroin and other drugs. This was more than even traffic deaths.
The exhibit has been a great way to get the conversation started between youth and their family. The largest portion of the exhibit is science-based, which seems to attract the kid’s interest more than any other feature. There is information on prevention and treatment, and each community has a personalized portion of the exhibit, which hits home for the attendees.
Mr. Alden concluded by mentioning that Jan McClure is the best Executive Director with whom he has ever worked, and that Mobile has been amazing so far as a model venue for medium sized communities. He them took questions from the audience.
Les Greer thanked Mr. Alden for his presentation and presented a certificate to him, noting that a donation in his honor had been made to the Rotary International Foundation.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:00 pm.

Coach Jackson revealed that he has taken part in 17 Senior Bowls and has had the honor of working with some outstanding quarterbacks, including Carson Palmer and Joe Flacco during stints with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens, respectively. Coach describes the Senior Bowl as the locale at which “great football players come to play and matriculate into the NFL.”
Jackson noted that Alabama players were performing particularly well, especially Tight End O.J. Howard.

Coach Jackson asserted his desire for guys who are dedicated and know how to play the game.

Program: Judge Jerry C. Oldshue, Jr.
Celia Baehr introduced Jerry Oldshue a federal bankruptcy judge who told the club some history of bankruptcy laws starting with the debtor’s prisons in England. Bankruptcy legislation was enacted in the U.S. during financial crises but rescinded once the emergency had ended.
Judge Oldshue said that a permanent bankruptcy law was not enacted in the U. S. until 1898 and this was repealed in 1978 and has been rewritten with numerous amendments ever since.
He explained that this federal law is uniquely American and was designed to give a debtor a fresh start.
According to Judge Oldshue, the basic chapters in bankruptcy are as follows: 7 (liquidation) 9 for counties and municipalites (He said the city of Prichard as well as Jefferson County, Ala. have taken this route), 11 (Business re-organization) 12 (for family farms) and the most prevalent – 13 (wage earner plan– which got its start in Birmingham). Another, 15, is rarely used and deals with international firms filing bankruptcy within their own country and then dealing with American obligations. Creditors are receiving an average of 32 cents on the dollar owed them he said.
After answering a number of questions, Les thanked Judge Oldshue and said that in his honor a donation had been made to the Rotary International Foundation.
The meeting adjourned at 1:00 PM.

Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by President Les Greer. Chip Hale gave the invocation, followed by Larry Sindel, who led us in song and the Pledge. Bill Oppenheimer accompanied on the piano.
Introduction of Guests & Visitors: Jeff Zoghby introduced our guests along with visiting Rotarians.
Student Guest: Saty Putcha introduced Ariel Scott from Mary G. Montgomery High School as our Student of the Week.
Announcements: Ken Niemeyer announced the expansion of the Free Libraries program. Also, it was announced that our Rotary Club raised around $450.00 for the Gatlinburg fire victims.
Program: Celia Baehr introduced Glenda Snodgrass as our speaker. Ms. Snodgrass is the Lead Consultant & Project Manager for The Net Effect. Her topic was “Ransomware Defense.”
Ms. Snodgrass opened by explaining that Cybercrime has become more profitable than the drug trade. It has reached the level of mafia directed crime. One of the largest areas of infiltration involves the health-care market. Unfortunately, the United States has more ransomware infections than anywhere else in the world. To make matters worse, 2017 is expected to be worse than ever.
The basic premise of ransomware takes place through a computer virus that hijacks your information, often through encryption or outright blocking your access to your records. Until you pay them a ransom, you are not able to access even the most vital records. You must “buy” a key in order to unlock access.
The virus can enter anywhere the internet can be accessed. One of the most popular entry points happens when an unexpecting user opens an email to read a resume from someone they likely don’t know, in answer to a legitimate job opening. In most cases, you would not be expected to know the sender.
Another thing requiring care is when a Word or Excel file asks you to enable macros. Any program that asks for access to change something on your hard drive should cause concern and extra caution. The massive increase in the use of the cloud has geometrically increased the challenges.
In addition to emails, access can be gained through “malvertising”, fake news stories and Trojans, such as fake Pokemon Go invitations. Another indication of an attack attempt would be a popup box in the middle of your screen…this is not where you would normally see a legitimate popup.
One of the best ways to defend yourself is to use secure, encrypted and verified backup programs. If you have a problem, you can wipe your source clean, then restore from a safe backup.
If you detect something, immediately unplug your network cable, and our power supply. In a laptop, for example, unplug and remove the battery. It is imperative to act quickly in order to prevent the attack from spreading to other sources. The next step is to call immediately for professional help. Also, the FBI has asked for these incidents to be reported to them.
Les Greer then thanked Ms. Snodgrass for her presentation and presented a certificate to her, noting that a donation in his honor had been made to the Rotary International Foundation.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:00 pm.

• John Moses then introduced Jan McKay, Executive Director of the Gulf Coast Exploreum as the club’s newest member.

• $2,000 to the Epilepsy Foundation allowing children with disabilities to enjoy a camp experience.
• $1,900 to Troop 18 of the Boy Scouts at Augusta Evans School. Henry Calloway explained that this pays the national dues of a number of his scouts who could not otherwise afford it as well as covering the cost for the troop’s sleep over at the Gulf Coast Exploreum
Program: Robert Ligthfoot, M.D.: Victory Health Partners
Bob Chappelle introduced Dr. Lightfoot who then presented a brief power point program. In the presentation a local patient had become debilitated from a rare skin condition. Dr. Lightfoot was able to arrange her diagnosis from a specialist as well as the medication she needed but could not otherwise have afforded.
Dr. Lightfoot explained that Victory Health Partners seeks to assist the working poor with both medical and dental assistance. He said these are the construction workers, the hairdressers and everyday people who cannot afford insurance much less the very high cost of medicines when they become ill. All pay on a sliding scale depending on their situation.
The Mobile Infirmary leases a building to the organization at the rate of $1 per year. However, he said with 75-85 new patients added each month the facility is being rapidly out-grown. Dr. Lightfoot termed his organization’s mission as one to provide both God’s love and quality healthcare to those who cannot afford it otherwise.
For more information please see victoryhealth.org
Les Greer thanked Dr. Lightfoot for speaking to the club and presented him with a certificate noting that a donation to the Rotary International Foundation has been made in his honor.
The meeting adjourned at 1:00 PM.
