Volume 50 - No. 02

By Pete Peterson

Rich people it’s been said, are different from you and me. Well, maybe not you, since you’re one of the rich ones, but certainly me. This is particularly true when it comes to childcare as we shall see – rich people face challenges Joe and Harriet Lunchbox need not face. In addition to seeing their child off to school mornings and to afternoon soccer practice, the Christmas party and the school play and the sleep overs and the doctor’s and dental appointments like the average kid, The Paper - 760.747.7119

the wealthy parent must deal with issues of security – kidnapping, extortion - and keep their child free from those who prey on the wealthy.

Raising a child successfully as a rich person is not as easy as it sounds. (I agree. Make me rich so I can make a first-class comparison.)

Still, most of us are content to follow the adage, education leads to success. Along these lines, several years ago a tongue-in-check advisory ran with the ideas that the success of your child began with get-

ting him or her into the right preschool so they could get into the right grade school, which gave them a leg up at getting into the right high school which could lead to admission to a prestigious Ivy League school. Remember that?

Silly then, and silly now. But it makes a point.

While it’s true that educational achievement opens doors for kids later in life and increases the person’s chances for prosperity and happiness, much water flows under that bridge. It is also true that out-

standing athletic skills, and I do mean outstanding, give that rare and special child a chance to make more dough more quickly than an educated person can accumulate in a lifetime. But unless your offspring has a dead eye jump shot or bends a soccer ball better than Becket, higher education is still the most dependable avenue to success.

Survey after survey has shown that the aspirations of the middle class has always been toward education, education, education. First, comes

schooling, then other goals like marriage and family can be pursued. But that’s not the way of the rich.

Mega Rich Hopes vs Working Affluent

A survey of the mega rich by the Connecticut firm Prince & Associates (www.hsgrove.com), shows that barely more than half of those surveyed with a net worth of at least $10 million said educational achievement was an expectation for their kids; thirty-three per cent said they expected their kids to one day get married and forty-six percent hoped for the blessings of grandchildren someday.

Compare these findings to the "working affluent" (those with assets between $1 million and $10 million); 84% surveyed cited educational achievement for their kids as a Number One priority; 74% cited marriage after education as important but not imperative and 71% wanted grandchildren to dote on.

Russ Alan Prince, who runs the firm that tracks the habits of the rich, says the superrich simply don't view education as the be-all-end-all panacea that the middle class does, mostly because their wealth and connections open doors for their kids that the less wealthy need to pry open with hard work and deter-

mination.

"Being erudite doesn't necessarily make you smarter or richer," says Prince. "Also, school brand means less to the upper crust. (though the recent controversy showing the super wealthy paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to send their kids to USC, Harvard and other elite colleges would seem to fly in the face of this finding), the brand of the school is not important to the mega rich,” according to Prince.

Happiness is also not a universally agreed upon expectation for the mega rich, as one would imagine.

Just 85% of respondents cited happiness as a goal for their offspring, compared to 99% of those of the working affluent.

A Challenge to the Mega Rich

The survey seems to show that kids are a challenge for the mega rich.

"Parents want their children to grow up and have a lifestyle like theirs, but sometimes motivating them to move in that direction becomes a real issue," Prince says, conjuring the stereotype of the preppy ne'er-do-well. “More than one of our surveys show that when kids have access to a lot of money, it seems their parents tend to dote on them less. Some parents even express down right hostility toward their children and some view them as necessary evils." Wow! Nearly two-thirds of the 296 affluent parents who responded to

Prince's survey send their kids to public school, and Prince says many of those families moved into top public-school districts to do so. The survey covers families nationwide, but respondents tend to be clustered on the coasts and in major urban centers, where taxpayer-financed public schools in wealthy communities can compete effectively with top private schools.

It’s Not Easy Being a Rich Kid

The mega rich send more kids to public schools than to private institutions, though the numbers are far more even, 55% go to public schools vs. 44% to private or religious schools. A more telling statistic is there are 49 million public school students in the United States vs. 5 million private school kids.

Naturally, the rich tend to supplement the educational experience of their little ones with expensive enrichment activities - music, horseback riding, dance – even private tutoring sessions. Also, the superrich take on average, more vacations than lesser mortals, giving their kids an additional opportunity to experience new cultures and new environments.

My wife and I were driving in Europe last summer. On two separate occasions we encountered a group of 5 well-dressed American teenagers - 3 girls and 2 boys - we estimated to be 12 to 18 years in age. They were accompanied by 3 very attentive females and a super

“My father is in the business,” she said. (That’s code for show biz.)

They were from Brentwood, California. “We’re traveling to Paris via way of Spain, Herzegovina, Croatia and Italy. We travel as a family somewhere every year. Last year it was Upper New York state, Maine, Canada, Labrador, Iceland and Newfoundland. I’ll fly out tomorrow for Mills College (New York) Rush Week.”

This young lady exuded class and confidence. Her makeup was a bit thick for her age, but her brown eyes sparkled. “I’d love to talk with you about makeup and skin care,” she said to my wife, “since you look fabulous. But, if we talk too long, my bodyguard will intervene.”

Just then, one of the attentive females walked up. “Say goodbye, Myrna. We must go. You have tests to finish today.”

As I said, the rich do things differently.

Virtually 100% of the Working Affluent parents surveyed by Prince’s organization say teaching values is part of being a parent.

Conversely; 88% of the superrich responded that values are learned from family, friends, schoolteachers, sports coaches and yes, hired consultants, including nannies and house keepers.

wiping away tears, solving family spats all call for flexibility, unflagging energy, good listening skills and a great organization. There are study schedules to follow, protocol to implement and dress standards to maintain. A delicate balance of Mary Poppins and Mrs. Doubtfire.

But, consider this: top-flight nannies often earn $185,000 or more for their tight-lipped services - it seems what the nanny sees, stays with the nanny.

A former nanny now writing of her 23 years serving A-List families, has this to say. “On the outside it all looks pretty glamorous. Yet, there are three major challenges every nanny faces that no school or education can prepare you for. One, is the husband. They often turn to nanny seeking solace and sexual comfort. Second, is the wife’s lover – and almost all the women I worked for had lovers – somehow, these individuals feel entitled to sexual favors doled out by the nanny. Then there are other staff members to deal with-the jealousy from those who may not see the ‘imperial couple’ regularly can be intense. The stress of entertainment gossip can be fierce, and the competition among staff members is often over-whelming. The salvation of the good nanny is the child.” She adds with a smile. “When the family you work for goes on vacation, you go along. You work. They play.”

It’s good to know that the woman packing lunches for Angelina Jolie’s brat pack or burping Beyonce’s baby, Blue Ivy, is raking in more than your average hedgefund analyst. You can join this elite group according to Celebrity Staffing Services’ Glenda Ross.

Her agency has assisted the likes of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Lisa Marie Presley and Prince in finding new nannies and assessing others.

Ms. Ross says if you’re hired as a nanny, you can expect a six-figure salary, a personal automobile, comfortable living quarters and yearly bonuses, often $10,000 or $20,000.

Parents like Jay-Z and Beyoncé are likely to dole out such benefits to two or three nannies each year according to Ross due to their extensive travel schedules, special security needs and other demands.

That could wind up sucking upwards of $500,000 per year out of Mr. and Mrs. Carter’s undoubtedly overflowing bank account.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fork over just shy of 10 mil annually for their nanny services, according to their tax filings.

Language - since it is now in vogue to teach children to sign needs, they cannot speak, such as ‘hot,’ ‘help,’ ‘water’ and other simple requests.

Most successful nannies, and yes, most candidates are women - must pass background checks, drug tests and behavioral assessments to be even considered worthy of stepping into a celebrity’s home. Nannies for super-rich families must look like they have it all: designer clothes, private jet travel, and experience relaxing by the pool at exotic resorts … there is a catch, right?

The California Highway Patrol said that a driver who drove too fast for conditions came to a turn and was unable to complete the manuever.

In the ensuing crash five young men who had been riding in the open bed of the truck were ejected.

Seven youths involved in the accidentally were injured, one fatally.

Their pickup, a Toyota Tundra, overturned in San Pasqual Valley, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Five of the 17-and 18-year-old boys riding in the open truck bed were thrown out as the pickup rolled off the road. One of them, age 18, suffered major injuries and later died at a hospital, CHP Officer Kevin Smale said.

The driver, 18, and a passenger in the truck cab, age 17, suffered minor injuries. They are both from Escondido.

The single-vehicle crash was reported about 2:40 a.m. after the driver turned left from northbound Summit Road onto Old San Pasqual Road, east of Escondido.

Smale said the youth was going too fast on the curve and lost control of the truck. It flipped onto its left side, ejecting the riders in the back.

Then the truck slid off the right side of the roadway, landing on its

wheels in thick weeds.

The truck bed passengers included 17-year-olds from Escondido, San Marcos and Encinitas and an 18year-old from Valley Center. They all were taken to a hospital with minor to moderate injuries, Smale said.

He said an investigating officer tested the driver and found no evidence that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Political Battle Heating up in Race for 76th Assembly District

Democrat incumbent District 76 Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner Horvath has challenged Republican candidate for the seat, Melanie Burkholder’s use of the title “Doctor” on the ballot saying her doctorate in Christian counseling does not qualify her to represent herself as a medical doctor.

The San Diego County Medical Society also challenged Burkholder’s ballot designation.

“Ms. Burkholder is not a physician, dentist, or veterinarian, and lacks medical training in any of those fields,” according to the Medical Society’s statement.

The Republican candidate’s website and campaign material identify her as “Dr. Melanie Burkholder ... a decorated Secret Service agent, mental health counselor, and proud wife and mother.”

"Why, yes it is citizen. Are you a law abiding citizen?"

"Um, yeah."

"And do you promise to always make your mum proud and do the right thing? And to love your country and to always follow the law."

Last Friday I got a call from a woman. I answered and she said, "Is this Batman?"

"Why, yes, yes, it is," I answered.

"Could you talk to my son? We saw your picture in The Paper and he's been bugging me saying I should call the phone number you listed and see if he could talk to Batman."

"Sure, be happy to," I said, "put him on."

"Hi, is this Batman."

The issue first arose when Burkholder had stated in a July 1 radio broadcast that parents had the right to refuse to vaccinate their children and that government overstep their grounds when they seek to enforce this rule.

Several spokesmen andagencies cited Burkholder’s statement as shockingly reckless for someone with no medical training to take such a postion.

There is no jurisdiction in the United States in which Ms. Burkholder could accurately identify as a doctor, according to several critics.

The 76th Assembly District covers much of coastal North County, including Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista and Camp Pendleton.

A Sacramento Superior Court judge agreed and has ordered 76th Assembly District candidate Melanie Burkholder not to identify herself as a “doctor” in her ballot statement for the March 3 primary election. to pay tribute to the folks who make sure we are promptly and courteously treated whenever we dine out.

As related in your column, for the past 30 years, Mr. Campbell was denied the use of his AARP discount card each time he presented it.

Myth Two: Summer nannies make insane amounts of money.

Fact: True. In many cases, a highpriced and highly skilled nanny can bring home more than a pediatrician.

She explains: “A nanny works yearround often earning a 6-figure income. Like many jobs, the higher the salary, the higher the expectations and higher the demands.

There’s a lot of pressure on the nanny, especially on summer vacations. You’re expected to do more than just be a babysitter. You’re constantly travelling, thus the children’s clothes must be packed for the appropriate climate, which means clothes shopping and often you must see that the child has the proper vaccinations or immunizations, as well as planning tours and other activities – being careful to coordinate the child’s schedule with others. Maybe one child is sick and is throwing up while the other wants to play or explore. They must be seated, seat belt in place on the plane. on time, regardless of the uncomfortable moments that must be overcome.”

She points out sometimes your

AARP discount to every person with a AARP card. They have no posted or written policy on the changes to how the card should be presented." As further related in your column: "Mr. Campbell was told he would not get the discount because his card did not have a strip. On his second visit, with a new card with the strip, he was told it did not have a bar code on the card. On the third visit, after ensuring his card had a strip, a bar code, and his insurance number, he was told by the manager that his AARP card was an insurance card and thus could not be honored. On each occasion, Escondido resident and realtor Patti Thompson, with her husband, spoke with the manager, Missy. She would not budge.

AARP card denied. For a $1.50 discount." Lyle, as you lamented in your column, "Probably not the wisest public relations investment Denny's has ever made."

Well, shortly after the story broke in your Man About Town column, something deep inside me told me that this local story will, in time, just probably "die on the vine" after the dust settles. Yes it was on Facebook and yes people voiced their anger, but once again, such an incident goes unnoticed by corporate offices who often are completely unaware of "provincial, localized misrepresentations, literally thou-

Also, in travel there are frequently cramped sleeping arrangements, non-private bathing times so that privacy for toileting and other personal issues goes down the drain.

“Bigger paychecks come with greater responsibilities. So consider the workload that a pay raise entails.”

Myth 3: Nannies for the super-rich get a super-rich lifestyle to match.

Fact: Although they make more money, summer nannies for the mega-rich generally aren’t living as the Kardashians or the Trumps.

Vajana adds, “Instead of feeling like a celebrity, some nannies feel lonely, isolated and over-worked. Most are bound by strict confidentiality agreements (Non-disclosure Agreements), with their employer.

You may meet presidents, dine with royalty, be invited to play tennis with an Academy Award winning actor, but this must remain confidential. It’s as if you are invisible, and only your passport reveals the foreign countries you’ve visited and your memory is the only record of the sights you’ve seen. You may attend very important events, but your name won’t be on the guest list. Why? Because you are truly there for the kids. They are your

sands of miles away."

As a military veteran myself (4 years in the U. S Navy), I wanted more than just a temporary public outcry. I wanted Denny's moversand-shakers to be made aware of this. Otherwise, at least for me, it's just a lot of "saber rattling" with nothing 'in concrete done.' So, I sent copies of your Man About Town column to Denny's Corporate Chain of Command in Spartanburg, South Carolina which is 2,332 miles away from Escondido.

Copies went specifically to John C. Miller (Denny's CEO & President), F. Mark Wolfinger (Executive VP * Chief Operating Officer), Michael L. Furlow (Sr. VP & Chief Information Officer), Ms. Jill A. Van Pelt (Senior VP & Chief People Officer), as well as others, including many VFW Posts here in Escondido. Along with each copy of your Man About Town column, I also sent a short memo to each Denny's Restaurant Corporate person which stated: "Is this how Denny's Restaurants treat our senior war veterans?" In addition to that, I listed for them to see that I had also sent the same information to all the major print and visual media (which included the Man About Town column). They saw that copies went out to: The Washington Post in Washington, D. C., CBS News, NBC News, San

first and last consideration. You’re the help. Sometimes that may hurt your sense of pride, but maybe by taking a private jet to New York for lunch and another to San Francisco for dinner, with the children of course, you’ll feel a little better.”

Myth 4. Summer nannies get personal time off during their family’s vacation.

Fact: Not true. Most high net families on vacation expect the nanny to do more, not less. You must supervise swimming lessons for the children or skiing lessons (at some resorts both the same day), coordinate meal schedules, study time and handle disciplinary problems. This means more work and longer working hours. But if you’re lucky, you’ll have appealing kids, lots of adventures and experience different cultures. The great money makes it all worthwhile as does the fact that one week you’re in Antarctica and the next Africa or Spain.”

Vajana relays the story that one summer she was on vacation with a family that spent most of the time at sea. “I was either in the water or on the boat. There was no place else to go. That was challenging to keep the kids entertained, yet not intrude on the adults. You have to learn to go with the flow.”

Myth 5: It’s a fabulous life.

Fact: The level of satisfaction one gets from being a nanny depends on how one perceives the family, par-

"No, honey, not with that blonde from the accounts office. With the boss."

"No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life. Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart."

Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly, when the young woman sitting next to him had enough and leaned over and said into the phone, "Eric, turn that phone off and come back to bed."

Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer.

ticularly the kids, that you work for.

Again, she explains: “The thing most rewarding for me was being able to travel to new places with the children and see their eyes open to new cultures and lifestyles. It was also great to see them develop and grow, be awed and express a sense of wonder as only a little person can. And, my world was broadened as well. Being a nanny allowed me to live in six countries on two different continents. I’ve learned to speak two languages fluently, (and dabble in a few more). I’ve built on these experiences and I’m able to live among and connect with, a variety of people. This has allowed me to succeed as both a Human Resources director and teacher.”

(Professions she now follows.)

Not All Employers Are Likable

A friend has a family member who is a celebrity nanny. She served a famous governor and found him boorish and demanding. No one could talk to the governor without pervious approval; in approaching him, a respectful distance had to be maintained. And never ever walk behind him. (These restrictions must not have applied to the housekeeper, since she bore his child.) In contrast, his wife, born to riches and sent to all the right schools, was a delight to serve.

As we know, the rich do things differently.

I've learned that silent company is often more healing than words of advice. Age 24 I've learned that brushing my child's hair is one of life's great pleasures.

Age 26 I've learned that wherever I go, the world's worst drivers have followed me there. Age 29

I've learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.

Nannies Cont. from Page 5 This same lady also served as a nanny for Tim Allen of "Last Man Standing" fame. Her impression of him? He was kind, caring and generous. Another couple she served, from China, impressed her so much she became a nanny after a surrogate mother bore their child. In return, they frequently flew her to San Francisco and other places, wining and dining her at no expense, even taking her on vacations.

Still want to be a nanny?

No degree is required, but an associate degree or specialized certification in early childcare development may help get that first assignment. CPR and first aid certification are commonly required. Each family will have their own expectations for a nanny's previous childcare experience. Most are typically required to be at least 18 years old, and must pass a rigorous health examination, possess up to date immunizations and test negative on tuberculosis and drug tests. A clean criminal background is also required. Successful candidates. it goes without saying, should also have strong communications and instructional skills. Patience? You bet. That and stamina are keys to success since dealing with high energy children is not easy work.

Nanny School Graduate? Go to the Head of the Line

For those who have decided on a career as a nanny, there are many training courses available.

Although some employers prefer practical experience – Jamie Fox, Tim Allen and Ice Tea are in that school - earned certifications and professional instruction is recommended by most Nanny Placement firms. The American Council of Nanny Schools and the Newborn Care Specialist Association (NCSA) are industry watch dog organizations that require newly certified nannies to meet certain requirements.

Most nanny training programs include classroom instruction in child development, nutrition, family dynamics, safety, play activities, first aid and CPR. These classes vary in length and in depth, as well as cost – but expect to spend a pretty penny if you enroll. (Say something north of $5,000.00.)

Supervised hands-on training with children are offered only by registered Nanny Schools.

The key to nanny training is the practical education on the ins and outs of family dynamics. Most prepare students for a high-income career in less than a year. Another key to career success according to those who have been there, is to register with an agency, which

Diego local television news, the San Diego Union Newspaper, the Veterans of Foreign Wars main office headquartered in Washington, D. C. and many, many other entities.

Lyle, thanks to your Man About Town column which was sent "out of Escondido" over 2300 miles away so that it would truly resonate with Corporate Heads in the print and visual media, along with Denny's Corporate giants, along with various Escondido VFW Posts, so that all of them would be made aware of this 'public-relations nightmare' -- things were finally changed. For the better.

AARP card holders are no longer "hassled" over trivial things which sent Mr. Don Campbell on a "wild goose chase" in first place, such as (1) being denied his AARP discount card for not having a strip, (2) then again for not having a bar code,and (3) then being denied because his AARP card was an insurance card after all, and on and on and on.

Now, Denny's accepts these AARP cards without the 'circus runaround' which 90-year-old Korean War Veteran, Don Campbell, had to (unnecessarily) endure.

It speaks highly of Denny's Corporate Offices that they became aware of this embarrassing fiasco and made things right. It was no fault of Denny's Corporate Headquarters that this faux pas transpired. To their credit, this has been rectified.

Today, 1,593 Denny's Restaurants all across the United States made it clear that this scenario would not be repeated (or tolerated). This even includes Denny's Restaurants around the world: Puerto Rico (11 restaurants), Guam (2), Chili (1), Canada (60), Mexico (5), Costa Rica (3), Honduras (2), El Salvador (1), the United Kingdom (1), and New Zealand (8).

I personally called various Denny's Restaurants, randomly, from Chula Vista to Oceanside to Escondido and I'm pleased to say "Thanks, Lyle, for giving this embarrassing incident a happy ending via exposure in your Man About Town Column." It's one thing for a newspaper or magazine to report the news, it's entirely different for a weekly publication such as yours to actually "change laws" for the better. Not only here in Escondido -- but across the United States and even around the world!

The Paper did just that.

Sincerely, Friedrich Gomez

2020 will be an important year for California

The State Legislature returns January 6 to complete the 20192020 session.

80 Assemblymembers and 40 Senators will gather in the State Capitol to begin work on some of the most consequential issues that have ever faced California.

It’s likely that around 3,000 bills will be introduced over the next few weeks. All legislation must be submitted to the Office of Legislative Counsel by January 24 so that bill language can be drafted by the final introduction deadline on February 21. Bills must be passed to the alternate House by May 29, and all work must wrap up August 31st, when we finally adjourn.

Major issues include wildfires – prevention, aftermath, homeowners insurance, home hardening/safety, the related issues of energy and utilities, and the state’s role in helping to solve these monumental problems. More policy issues include the environment, health care, Medi-Cal expansion, fallout from passage of AB 5 and the Dynamex decision, their impact on employment and the gig economy.

Other issues include privacy rights under California’s Consumer Protection Act, cannabis, vaping, housing and homelessness, local

government and taxes, Prop. 13 and split-roll proposals, public safety, prison closures, highway funding, water …. it’s a very long list.

Unlike Washington D.C. there is little rancor in Sacramento. We often disagree, but we get along at the personal level. Since most of these problems impact everyone regardless of party, non-partisan solutions can be achieved. Many bills in Sacramento pass with wide, bi-partisan support.

It is important for legislative representatives to hear from constituents regarding these proposals and other issues. Please contact me at: https://ad75.asmrc.org/

As Minority Leader, I am looking forward to working with my legislative colleagues as we addresses major policy issues and problems that will impact California for decades to come. Next session will be productive and very consequential.

Assembly Republican Leader Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

helps find and place the qualified nanny in jobs (usually in the $25$45 per hour range.) While everyone agrees that a direct recommendation is the best way to gain a placement, these come only after one is established in the field.

(Nannies do talk. A recent morning at a park in Hollywood served as a gathering for at least twenty nannies and their charges.) The nannies we spoke with strongly suggested an agency instead of answering online ads to find a position.

Finally, it’s refreshing to learn- in a world where jobs are quickly disappearing, never to be seen again due to automation and out-sourcing – a problem no politician will touch – the projected need for newborn care specialists is highly sought after in every city, village and hamlet. This demand will continue since, as of this writing, no automated system has been developed to change a diaper and wipe and powder a new born’s butt. It may happen, but not yet. (If such a device is developed, this Ol’ Boy don’t wanna know about it!)

The rich it has been said, are different from you and me. When it comes to childcare this is true.

Becoming a nanny is a valid and appealing career option. Oh, to be forty again!

Performance Poet Karla Cordero Launches Writers Read 2020 Season at Fallbrook Library - Writers Read at Fallbrook Library, a free monthly author series with open mic, will launch its 2020 season on Tuesday, January 14, with a visit from award-winning performance poet Karla Cordero. Cordero will read from her new collection, “How to Pull Apart the Earth” (NOT A CULT, 2019), a 2019 San Diego Book Award winner and a finalist for the 2019 International Book Awards.

The reading is 6:00pm to 7:30pm, and begins with open mic. A descendant of the Chichimeca peoples from Northern Mexico, Cordero is a Chicana poet, educator, activist, and two-time Pushcart nominee, raised along the borderlands of Calexico, California. She teaches creative writing and composition at San Diego City College and MiraCosta College, and she is the author of the chapbook, “Grasshoppers Before Gods” (Dancing Girl Press, 2016).

Copies of “How to Pull Apart the Earth” will be available for sale and signing, as

At the depths of the “Panic of 1893,” the Federal Treasury was nearly out of gold. Morgan devised a plan for the federal government to buy gold from him and some European investors. He used an old civil war statute that allowed him and associate investors to sell 3.5 million ounces of gold directly to the U.S. Treasury. This maneuver restored the treasury’s surplus in exchange for a 30-year bond issue.

The episode saved the U.S. Treasury but hurt President Grover Cleveland's political standing. It was a big issue in the election of 1896, when banks came under a withering attack from Democrat candidate William Jennings Bryan.

To counter Bryan’s attacks and maintain the status quo in business, Morgan, Carnegie, and Rockefeller, along with some other Wall Street bankers donated heavily to Republican candidate William McKinley. Accordingly, McKinley was elected in 1896 and reelected in 1900.

By 1900, Morgan’s firm was one of the most powerful banking houses 5in the world, focused especially on reorganizations and consolidations. Example: he financed the creation of the Federal Steel Company, then merged it with Carnegie’s and other steel businesses to form the powerful U.S. Steel Corporation.

The speaker, who hardly needs an introduction, is Carl DeMaio, who has been very active in civic and political activities in San Diego for years. He is running for Congress in San Diego's 50th District and surely deserves our respect and consideration. Please attend on the 14th and give him an enthusiastic welcome. His campaign theme is: He is a proven fighter who will shake up Congress - to fight unfair tax hikes, cut wasteful spending and secure our border. Carl knows how to reform government - and he has built an entire business and political career on making broken government programs work again for the people. Doors open at 11:30am and sit down for lunch at 12noon.

Meeting concludes at 1:30pm. Cost of the luncheon for non-members is $35/person.

financial interest from investors to the businesses he took over.

Through his genius for finance, Morgan was undoubtedly the most powerful and important of all those who built America.

Morgan, born April 17, 1837, dominated corporate finance and industrial consolidation in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He played an important role in the formation of General Electric, U.S. Steel, International Harvester, AT&T, and a number of other leading companies, which continue to be part of the backbone of American industry.

During the early part of the 20th century at the height of Morgan's career, he and his partners directed a banking coalition that stopped the national “Panic of 1907.” He was the leading financier of the so-called Progressive Era, and his dedication to efficiency and modernization helped transform modern-day American business.

Because he wielded so much financial power Morgan was dubbed one of the so-called “robber barons” along with Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie.

Morgan learned at an early age how to make money. At 26, during the American Civil War, in an incident known as the “Hall Carbine Affair,” young Morgan financed the purchase of 5,000 rifles from a U.S. Army arsenal at $3.50 each, which he then resold to a U.S. field general for $22 each.

Morgan’s process of taking over troubled businesses and reorganize them became known as "Morganization." He re-organized business structures and management in order to return them to profitability. Morgan’s reputation as a banker and financier also helped bring

The “Panic of 1907” was another financial crisis that nearly crippled the American economy. Major New York banks were on the verge of bankruptcy and there was no mechanism to rescue them, until Morgan stepped in to help resolve the problem. He had the secretary of the U.S. Treasury earmark $35 million of federal money for deposit in New York banks. Morgan then called a meeting at his New York mansion with the nation's leading financiers and forced them to come up with a plan to meet the national crisis. Morgan’s team of financial executives re-directed money between banks, secured further international lines of credit, and bought up the plummeting stocks of healthy corporations.

In 1913, banking and financial leaders in Washington realized the nation couldn’t afford to let such a crisis ever happen again because it was unlikely there would be another Morgan to come to the nation’s rescue, so a plan was devised that resulted in the creation of today’s Federal Reserve System.

Since then, no one has risen to J. Pierpont Morgan’s level of financial power. Morgan died in Rome, Italy, in his sleep in 1913 at the age of 75, leaving his fortune and business to his son, John Pierpont Morgan, Jr. When he died, his estimated fortune was about $80 million, prompting Rockefeller to comment: "… and to think, he wasn't even a rich man."

COURT QUERY -- Judge: "Mr. Quinn, I have reviewed this case very carefully, and I've decided to give your wife $775 a week."

Husband: "That's very fair, your honor, and every now and then I'll try to send her a few bucks myself."

I’ve known about these delicious soups for sometime but recently, during the Thanksgiving holiday I had a cup of Charlie’s delicious Turkey Noodle Soup. It was so good I ordered a second cup! And then a third cup to take home.

Rich, meaty, tasty, filling.

Several days later I had a cup of their Cream of Tomato soup . . . again a superb treat. I had a second cup.

It was then I decided it was time.

Time to announce to the world the secret to superb dining. Order a soup from Charlie’s!

The Soup Lineup From Charlie’s Restaurant in Escondido

Monday - Cream of tomato and vegetable Tuesday - same Wedneday - Cream of Brocolli or Vegetable or Turkey Noodle Thursday Split Pea or Navy Bean Friday Navy Bean or Clam Chowder Saturday - same Sunday - Split Pea or Vegetable

J&M’s Resaturant, on East Valley Parkway also has excellent soups.

I love their lentil soup, their split pea soup, and their barley beef soup. We’ll do a wee bit more research on the J&M soups and report back with a bit more thorough menu review.

I love chili!

So far, the best chili I’ve found is from Wendy’s. I love it so much I usually oder two large servings and take it home with me. At least one of the soup cartons has been emptied by the time I arrive home. It’s that good! Lots of meat!

Howaboutyou? Do you have a favorie soup? A favorite restaurant where you know you’re always gonna get a soup that has been prepared for The Food Gods?

Let’s hear about them and we will dash out to sample them and report back to our readers.

(This is the real reason I got into the newspaper business. I get to meet celebrities, I get press passes for exciting events, I dine out a lot, often with clients ... so I get to know the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to food emporiums.

Teepee Mystery in Valley Center - The teepee, a Native-American shelter dating back centuries, is traditionally made of animal skin such as buffalo hide. But these twin teepees in Valley Center are made of concrete, and have been a mystery for years to researchers at the Valley Center Historical Society. They are now trying to solve the puzzle. Who built them, and when, and for what purpose?

Located at 34301 Valley Center Road, the two white painted concrete structures feature a door and a window-like opening on the side. For years they shared a parcel with the Moravian Church of 1891, the second oldest extant church in Valley Center until it was razed in 2018. At the time, the church was known as Rincon Chapel. However, it is believed that the church had no connection to the teepees.

Clues as to the origin of the teepees can be sent via email to museum@vchistory.org or a message can be left at (760) 7492993.

Random Memories from Life in California

It's been a good life since moving to California.

We grew up in Omaha, five years in the Chicago area, coming to California in 1968.

That makes Californian.

me

a

native

In 1969 Mary and I decided to take a scuba diving course and earned our scuba diving certificate. The final dive of the course was an ocean dive at Morro Bay, on the central coast. We put on our neoprene wet suits, fins, tanks, masks, weight belts (to counteract the buoyancy of the wet suits and let us descend) and headed out from the beach.

We were only about 10 yards off the beach when I noticed Mary was having difficulty and in some distress. I alerted the Divemaster and he swam over to her and escorted her to shore. Someone had put way too much lead weight on Mary's weight belt and it had been dragging her underwater. Some of the weight was removed and the dive began again.

We explored the beautiful world of the underwater ocean . . . saw hundreds of fish, beautiful orange/gold Garibaldi (a protected species; you can't hunt them or molest them) . . . lots of beautiful rock formations, kelp beds . . . and we found both lobster and abalone. Of the two, even back then, abalone was far more expensive to buy in a store or restaurant. We just helped ourselves.

After the dive we gathered together in a pine grove on the beach. We'd pop out the abalone meat from their shells, throw them in a skillet with plenty of butter, opened a bottle of Dago Red wine, and sat around the campfire, enjoying the aroma of the pines, the wood fire, and the salty ocean air.

That's still one of my favorite memories of scuba diving . . . a good day of diving, sharing fresh caught abalone and a glass or two of Dago Red wine in a peaceful beach setting.

Mary did not pursue scuba diving . . . but I did. My cousin, Doug, had also become certified and he and I became diving buddies. (You NEVER dive alone. Diving buddies are critically important to each other).

We did beach dives, we did boat dives; I dived off of Catalina Island, off San Clemente Island . . . all super experiences. One day we were headed out for Cortez Banks, a prime dive spot for huge lobster, about 10 miles out into the ocean; weather came up and we diverted to the lee side of San Clemente Island.

I got seasick repeatedly while on the boat in such choppy waters . . . but once I got my tanks on and went over the side, I was fine. In the water I just enjoyed life . . . no seasickness.

We were diving with two or three SEAL team members. They exercised "controlled breathing" so could stay down much longer than we amateurs; they also dived deeper and found lots of lobster. We would burn up a tank of compressed air in, maybe, 20-30 minutes. They'd be able to stay down 45 minutes plus.

Because I'd get seasick again once I got back on the boat I couldn't wait for my air tanks to be recharged so I could get back in the water and avoid being sick. I'm lucky I didn't hurt myself because I think I made four dives that day. We were diving in about 30-45 feet of water and you're not supposed to make a lot of dives as breathing compressed air, at depth, can result in you acquiring "the bends." I lucked out and even managed to avoid getting seasick on the boat trip back to the docks.

On one occasion, my very best friend forever, Carl Reynolds, came out to San Diego for a visit. We rented him some scuba gear (he said he was experienced) and we went for a dive at La Jolla Cove, a marine sanctuary in La Jolla, CA. and a very popular dive spot . . . plenty of Garibaldi, plenty of lobster, lots of seaweed, lots of underwater caves to explore . . .

We entered the cove and began our dive. We were down for about five minutes when I noticed Carl was having some difficulty. He was not as experienced as I thought and I thought it prudent to cut the dive short. We went back to the beach and just lounged around. He had done some lake diving but never in the ocean and the depths and currents just overwhelmed him and he had become a bit disoriented. No matter. We loved talking to each other and cracking each other up.

Never had a better friend than Carl.

Loved the guy. Still do. He passed away from that damned cancer about six or seven years ago. Still miss the rascal.

I have long since given up scuba diving. Though it is an absolutely delicious sport it is also a lot of work. For every hour underwater you will likely have spent two hours preparing for the dive. As I am basically a lazy guy I decided to give up diving.

While visiting back in Omaha I stayed with Gary Evans and his wife, Chuckie. I had mentioned my interest in flying and planned to get my pilot's license. Gary said, "You'll never do it. You'll never get your private pilot's license. Too much work, too much time, too expensive."

Harumph!

I'll show him, I thought.

Sure enough, about two years later I had my private pilot's license and made sure to rub it in every time I talked to Gary. (I still stay with Gary and Chuckie whenever I head back home.)

I enjoyed flying. I was managing KOWN, the Escondido radio station, and come lunch time I remember inviting Ross Allie, one of my salesmen, to join me for lunch . . . but I didn't tell him we were gonna fly over to Catalina Island for lunch.

We boarded the Cessna 150 and headed down the runway. I heard a clapping noise and said, "oh, crap!"

"Don't say, 'oh, crap!" a terrified Ross said. We got airborne, leveled off, and I discovered the clapping noise was a loose strap hanging outside the door and the windstream would slap it against the fuselage. I opened the door, pulled the strap in; no more problem. Ross was relieved.

We saw several gray whales migrating south for Scammon's Lagoon in Mexico where they would both give birth and/or breed for future generations. We enjoyed the big, white puffy clouds set against a blue sky; life was good and the scenery wonderful. It was a pleasant flight.

The airport at Catalina Island is on top of a mountain and is angled upwards. It's a fairly small strip.

You descend, land, and roll out while going uphill. At the end of the runway is a sloped bank; at the bottom of the bank was (then) the remains of an aircraft that had crashed. Keeps you on your toes.

We went to the Airport in the Sky, ordered a couple of Buffalo Burgers and then made the return flight home.

While I still have my pilot's license I haven't flown as pilot-in-command for, probably, 25 years.

Whenever I go to an airport and smell the AvGas and see all the pretty planes I kinda get the urge to fly again.

I quit flying because they passed a biannual review where a pilot has to renew his license every two years (a program I totally support. If you're gonna fly, particularly in the San Diego Air Corridor, where there is heavy aviation traffic. You also should get training in mountain flying). Back then, I didn't have the money to fly as often as I thought I should (once a week, minimum).

Today I can afford to fly every week but I don't have the time.

(Theoretically, I should have lots of time because I'm in what, for most people, is the 'retirement years.')

I don't plan to ever retire. I enjoy what I do way too much. Oh, I may wind up selling The Paper . . . but I'll find something else to do.

I have also flown through the air without benefit of an aircraft.

I decided to take up skydiving and made five jumps, all static line.

To this day my best jump was my first one. When you exit the aircraft and the chute opens (hopefully) you search for your target . . . your drop zone. It is normally a large circle of pea gravel, maybe 25-30' wide; in

Random Memories Cont. on Page 10

The Paper • Page 10 • January 09, 2020

Random Memories Cont. from Page 9

the center is a pie plate. That is your target.

I landed about 5' away from the pie plate. Never came that close again.

On one occasion my Program Director, Clip Helps, decided he'd try skydiving. He regretted his decision almost instantly but had made the commitment.

When you land from a parachute jump you are supposed to face into the wind; it softens your landing and gives you more directional control; it also makes it easier to collapse your chute, dumping all the air out of it, folding it, and returning to the drop zone.

Clip made his jump and we could see that he was landing with the wind at his back instead of facing it.

He made it down and the chute dragged him for about 100-150 feet, face first in the black dirt, before he was finally able to collapse the chute. When he approached us at the drop zone his face was black as a picaninny; his great big smile with big white teeth showed up just fine.

He was laughing, "I didn't care whether I landed into the wind or not. I just knew the chute was open and I was gonna make it down. And I did."

Clip never jumped again.

After my fourth jump we were standing around the drop zone watching all the other jumpers come

down.

One jumper came down way too fast. His chute didn't open. He hit the ground and his body bounced up about five feet . . . above the dust cloud created from his body's impact with the ground. The drop zone closed, medical examiner came out and examined the body and removed same.

I made one more jump that day just to prove to myself that I could still do it. But I never jumped again.

We found out later that the jumper owed $100,000 in gambling debts; had a double indemnity insurance policy which paid out $200,000.

His gambling debts were settled and his family had $100K . Still, a tough way to settle a gambling debt.

I'm sure there must be another California memory or two resting in this ancient mind of mine. I'll try to resurrect them and will tell another tale or two at another time.

Meantime, Hope you all celebrated and had a Happy New Year's Eve!

The Pastor Says...

Pastor Hal Seed New Song Community Church, Oceanside, CA.

Puppy is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 3-1/2 year old, 10 pound, female, Domestic Short Hair cat.

That’s right. It’s a cat named Puppy. She was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) program. Puppy is a sweet cat who likes to greet guests with a soft “Meow” when they walk into the room.

The $100 adoption fee for Puppy includes medical exams, vaccinations, spay, and registered microchip. For more information call 760-753-6413, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, or log on to SDpets.org.

Thelma is a 9-year-old cat looking for a home.

She is very sweet and just wants a snuggle buddy. She loves gentle petting and can be a real purr bug.

Thelma was originally picked up as a stray. Since we don't know her history, we can't say for sure if she gets along with other animals. But we recommend slow introductions to any resident pets.

Someone wants Thelma to find a home so much, they have already paid her adoption fee. Come visit our Escondido Campus to see if Thelma is the kitty for you! Her (waived) adoption fee includes her spay, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, a certificate for a free veterinary exam and waived enrollment fee for medical insurance from PetFirst. Thelma is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3500 Burnet Drive. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (619) 299-7012.

Your Best New Year’s Resolution

Want to take a positive step towards prolonging and improving your life in 2020? This may surprise you, but medical and psychological research suggest the best step you can make in personal quality of life improvement is attending church on a regular basis.

You read that right.

Google, “the benefits of church attendance.” What you find is mindblowing. Secular studies show that regular church : 1. Live seven-and-a-half years longer than those who don’t.

2. Are 56% more likely to have an optimistic life outlook than those who don't.

3. Are 27% less likely to be depressed.

4. Are 35% less likely to get

divorced.

5. Have higher average levels of commitment to partners, higher levels of marital satisfaction, less thinking and talking about divorce, and lower levels of negative interaction.

6. Achieve higher grades, practice better time management, and experience a better sex life.

Church attendance has benefits that cascade into just about every area of your life.

Back in the 1950’s and 60’s, church attendance was as American as apple pie. It wasn’t an option, it was something you did. Today, Sundays are full of options. The beach, the NFL, the golf course, the Internet, and kids’ sports all compete with “church time.” More and more people are choosing these alternatives to church. And more and more people are wondering why life isn’t working so well for them.

There’s something you can’t see, touch, taste or smell about church attendance that makes it the most powerful investment of your week.

Something about being in church makes us better and qualifies us for the blessings of God. Unless you understand this, you can spend a lot of time messing around with ways to make your life better, when the real solution is to start with God and his church.

San Marcos • Mayor Rebecca Jones Climate Action Plan Update

The City of San Marcos adopted its Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2013 which sets targets for Greenhouse (GHG) emissions reductions for years 2020 and 2030. Subsequent to the City’s adoption of its CAP, the State of California adopted SB 32, which sets stricter GHG emission reductions targets for year 2030. The City initiated the CAP update process to be consistent with the State’s requirement.

The main elements of the updated CAP will include: • GHG emissions inventory and projections • GHG reduction targets for year 2030 and measures and actions to achieve the target reductions • A monitoring strategy • A development review checklist and Implementation cost analysis The City held three public workshops in May 2019, to engage the community in the CAP update process. The City is anticipating to release a draft of the updated CAP by January, 2020, and to conduct formal Planning Commission and City Council hearings in Spring 2020 for its adoption.

Partial funding for the CAP update is provided through SANDAG’s Energy Roadmap Program.

For more information about the currently adopted CAP and the update to the CAP, along with a community engagement summary report, visit www.san-marcos.net/climate.

Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” Mcnamara Greetings Escondido,

Well, it’s the new year and everyone is making resolutions and plans for what they hope to accomplish. I’m not different from anyone else. I have my resolutions to live a healthier life style like most of you, but I also have some Mayoral areas of focus as well. So here’s a few from my list –

Narrative – continue to promote the narrative that Escondido is a great place to live, work, invest and raise a family. Why, because it is and for too long, we’ve talked about and emphasized negatives that every city deals with way beyond their importance.

Economic Development – We’ve (city staff and myself) have been working on bringing new areas of business into the city. The effort has shown promise and is worth pursuing this year. It is still too early to discuss with detail.

Committees – Continue to work with and strengthen the committees we’ve formed for better community interaction, feedback, and transparency that deal with Housing, Community, Public Safety, Budget, Art and Culture and many others. Consider making a resolution to attend one of the meetings in area that interests you.

Semper Fi, Mac Paul P. McNamara, Mayor of Escondido, pmcnamara@escondido.org

Vista • Mayor Judy Ritter

Stay Fit in the New Year

For many of us the new year represents a fresh start to recommit to past goals or to lay the groundwork for something new. Many of these goals will be health and fitness related. Fortunately for us, living in a city like Vista includes taking advantage of the weather and getting out doors, which is something that can be done almost every day of the year!

Walking in one of Vista’s parks, browsing downtown on Main Street, playing pickleball at our new courts at Brengle Terrace or Thibodo parks, or registering for an exercise or yoga class through the City’s Recreation Department can help increase physical activity, which in turn can help to improve our lives. Visit VistaRecreation.com to learn about classes that fit yours and your family’s lifestyle. The website includes a list of City parks and trails as well as an interactive walking map through downtown Vista. Here’s to staying fit and healthy throughout the year!

Oceanside • Mayor Peter Weiss

The City of Oceanside will be starting a Food Scraps recycling Program for all businesses in 2020.

The Food Scraps Recycling Program is mandatory for all businesses and will require all food scraps and food soiled papers be placed in a new bin separate from trash bins.

The bins, technical assistance and training are provided free of charge by Waste Management and the City of Oceanside. There is a new Food Scraps Recycling Program fee that is based on the amount and frequency of your food scrap recycling bin and is set at 75% of the trash fee. This program will reduce the amount of material a business sends to the landfill, therefore trash fees may decrease.

This mandate will help Oceanside meet a new state law that requires cities to implement programs to reduce and recycle food scraps. The law requires a 50% reduction of organic material entering landfills by 2020.

www. thecomputerfactory.net "San Diego's Best Computer Store 2017-18" Union Tribune readers poll Twenty Five and counting..

That’s right, 2020 marks the start of our 25th year right here at the corner of Bent Avenue and San Marcos Blvd.

A lot has changed since The Computer Factory took over the old San Marcos Library site in 1995, especially in the retail part of the computer industry. In earlier days there were one or two PC stores in every shopping center. The “nerds” who open PC stores share a common fallacy and fate with “cooks” who open restaurants. The fallacy is that enjoying a hobby (computers or food) is sufficient to ensure commercial success, it isn’t. Their shared fate is an average business lifespan of

I've learned that the greater a person's sense of guilt, the greater his or her need to cast blame on others.

Age 46 I've learned that children and grandparents are natural allies. Age 47

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. Age 48 I've learned that singing "Amazing Grace" can lift my spirits for hours.

Age 49

I've learned that motel mattresses are better on the side away from the phone. Age 50 I've learned that you can tell a lot about a man by the way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. Age 51

I've learned that keeping a vegetable garden is worth a medicine cabinet full of pills. Age 52

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you miss them terribly after they die.

Age 53 I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.

Age 58

While the independent PC stores popped up and down like toilet seats, deep pocket corporate computer stores like PC Club, Egghead and Gateway Country also came and went in the strip malls. Big Box electronics giants like Incredible Universe, Good Guys and Comp USA were decimated by competition from the warehouse giants like Costco and Internet behemoth Amazon. PC brands like Gateway, Compaq, Packard Bell and E-machine simply disappeared. Dell and HP gave up designing and manufacturing “American” PCs and, like Apple, simply became distributors for foreign computer manufacturers.

Only their “pasted on” logos were American. Staples and Office Depot have been in decline and closing stores for years. Best Buy has been closing stores and hanging on since their revenues along with worldwide PC sales peaked a decade ago.

trumpet the triumph of E-commerce, Amazon and WalMart over the Mom and Pop stores that once formed the commercial core of small town America.

There have been a lot changes since we opened in 95 and not all are easy to swallow, but we tend to agree with Tony Robbins who said “Change is inevitable, progress is optional.” To us, that means change is neither good nor bad, it’s what you make of it. You get to choose and we choose to look at the positive side. As the dust clears, we’re still standing and so are our pals a mile up the road at J&B Computer. Our friendly rivalry spans over 20 years. If we two aren’t the oldest and best PC

stores in San Diego, then who is?

Another thing we noticed is that those “Millennials” that we’ve been chipping away at for the past several years are getting gray streaks and beginning to sound a lot like us. They’ve grown up to smell the coffee and now they’re chipping away at the “younger” generation. Life’s a circle.

Every day we get to help our friends and neighbors stay connected. We get to repair and upgrade computers, match people up with the systems they need to get things done and we get to build very cool new computers to conquer any kind of application. But best of all we get to see old friends and meet new friends every day. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Here in San Marcos, Fry’s Electronics, our local fossil from the “Big Box” age, still opens the doors each day to reveal empty shelves and a surly skeleton crew. A couple of blocks down the street, Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” piles up single star Yelp and Google reviews as they torment their shrinking list of victims.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back. Age 64

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ...

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English ... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
