The young girl had nursed her Mountain Dew at Jack In the Box on Rosecrans Boulevard for over two hours, when the Nice Lady sat down at the table next to her, smiled and said, “What a pretty girl. What are you, sixteen, seventeen?”

“Seventeen,” The Girl answered. It was the first time since her Grandmother died that anyone had mentioned her looks in a positive way. Now The Paper - 760.747.7119

that she was on her own, what difference would it make if she fudged a little on her age?

Sweetheart,” the Lady asked.

“Charlotte.”

“Good,” the Nice Lady said.

“You can crash with me. My daughters are out of town for a few days. Grab a hot shower.

Snuggle into a warm bed.” To Charlotte, this sounded more than wonderful, if a little weird.

But, the Lady was well-dressed, friendly and seemed to understand her needs. How did she know that Charlotte hadn’t

“What’s your name, Dear?”

“What a lovely name.” She squeezed Charlotte’s hand.

“Good to meet you. I’m Sandra.” Her smile so genuine, her demeanor so pleasant Charlotte felt at ease.

slept in over 48 hours except for a short nap on the Greyhound that brought her to San Diego?

“Hungry?”

Charlotte nodded. The truth was, she was famished.

The Nice Lady ordered her a Jumbo Jack with double fries and a coffee for herself. While they waited for their order, a man in a white shirt, suit coat and dress trousers joined them.

“My husband, Nick,” the Lady said. To the man, she said, “Charlotte’s going to crash with us a few days.”

“Great! She’ll be good company while Jasmine and Kelly are off visiting colleges, and I’m at work.” He smiled big. “I’ll wait in the car.”

Charlotte wolfed down the Jumbo Jack quickly, afraid that if she made the Nice Lady wait, the offer of a bed might vanish.

She needn’t have worried, because the Lady seemed to read her mind.

“You’re probably wondering about money,” the Lady said. “A pretty girl like will find a job quickly. Monday, I’ll call a few place I know and see if I can hurry the process along. We’ll get you settled in real fast.”

Charlotte relaxed even more.

She’d concentrated on escaping from her mother and her creepy new husband.

She hadn’t thought about how she’d live now that she was free from them. Now, that was problem was solved, almost as if by

Definition of “OLD”

#1 I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.

She turned to me and asked, “Are you having it catered?”

And that, my friend, is a sad definition of “OLD.”

#2 Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, “How old was your husband?”

“98,” she replied. “Two years older than me.”

“So you’re 96,” the undertaker commented.

She responded, “Hardly worth going home, is it?” #3 Reporters interviewing a 104year-old woman: “And what do you think is the best thing about

“I didn’t want to rattle around at home all by myself,” The Nice Lady explained, “so I checked in here.” That made perfect sense to Charlotte.

After a hot bath and a small white pill – “to help you relax “- the Lady suggested they party it up that evening. “Friday nights are always fun. People relaxing after a hard week.

They’ll have live music. Lots of hunky guys your age. Free bar.

Drugs if you’re so inclined.”

And not to worry, if Charlotte had trouble getting acquainted, “You can always come talk to me,” the Lady assured her.

True, the red dress the Lady helped her into was shorter, and cut much lower, than any Charlotte had worn before and yes, she wobbled and almost fell the first steps she took in the Nice Lady’s black stilettoes.

But with plenty of red lipstick, liberal application of blush and lots of black mascara, Charlotte was pleased when she looked in being 104?” the reporter asked.

She simply replied, “No peer pressure.”

#4 I’ve sure gotten old! I have outlived my feet and my teeth. I’ve had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer, and diabetes.

I’m half blind, and can’t hear anything quieter than a jet engine.

I take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. I have bouts with dementia, have poor circulation, and can hardy feel my hands and feet anymore. I can’t remember if I’m 85 or 92. I have lost all my friends, but, thank God, I still have my driver’s license.

the mirror. She felt sexy and desirable. Wasn’t an evening like this what she’d always dreamed of ?

“You could pass for eighteen, easily,” the Lady said as she hustled Charlotte into the BMW, handing her another pill. “To take the edge off.”

They drove to a motel a few blocks away. The Lady stopped the car, opened the door and gently shoved Charlotte out.

“Room 232. I’ll be up as soon as I park.”

Charlotte shrugged off the feeling she was being abandoned.

She ankled across the lobby to the elevator. Her face felt flushed, her breath was coming fast, her armpits were wet with sweat, but she felt so relaxed she could fly. The walk down the hallway searching for the party room made her breath come faster and the dim ceiling lights burned into her eyes. All at once she was exhausted. She stood for a moment in front of the desired room number as hot music throbbed inside, then leaned against the door frame and knocked. The door jerked open fast. Charlotte lost her balance and tumbled into the

#5 I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising.

I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But…by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.

#6 An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests.

First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.

“Wal-Mart?” the preacher exclaimed. “Why Wal-Mart?”

“Then I’ll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week.”

“The ladies have arrived,” a guy yelled.

Why’s he in his underwear, Charlotte wondered.

Rough hands dragged her into what Charlotte realized was a bed room. The same hands shoved her onto a bed, though she fought back. Hands were everywhere, poking and prodding. A man smelling of wine, his thick beard sandpapering her face, yanked her dress off.

She struggled to push him away, but he was too strong. Charlotte passed out, coming to hours later. She was cold, naked and alone.

As she tried to piece the evening together, the Nice Lady came in and opened the blinds.

The flush of light caused Charlotte to hide her eyes.

“Looks like you had a good time, Sweetheart,” the Nice Lady said. The tone of her voice made Charlotte think maybe she wasn’t such a nice The Opioid Crisis Cont. on Page 3

After dinner, her mother told the girl's father to find out about the young man.

The father invited the fiancé to his study for a talk.

"So, what are your plans?" the father asked the young man.

"I am a biblical scholar," he replied.

"A biblical scholar, hmmm?" the father said. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in?"

•••• “What happened to Charlotte happens to human sexual trafficking victims every day,” says Rachel Simms, an investigator for the Cayuga County (Ohio) Sheriff ’s Department. “In many cases it’s quite easy for experienced nefarious individuals to recruit victims. Predators look for run-a-ways, or young insecure girls, those who may be unhappy at home, or having a spat with a parent or adult.

They gain the Target’s trust, by showing her certain kindnesses that proves they are one with her, that they understand her anguish.”

Simms adds, “Human sex trafficking is a new wrinkle in the opioid crisis. College fraternities and other groups are open to having un-supervised young girls attend their parties and will pay a fee for the privilege. The girl provider often supplies the booze and drugs for a fee as well. This is a new segment of an already wide section of society. And, I’m afraid we’re just getting started.”

Simms is right. Opioid misuse is tearing at the very fabric of American society. Moms and dads. sons and daughters, all are effected. Statistics show that 115 people will die from opioid overdoses today. And tomorrow. And the next day. This fact applies to every day of the week. The misuse of these drugs and the powerful addiction factor they possess are unparalleled in their effects on users. And it doesn’t matter where or how the drugs are obtained: legitimate prescriptions filled by legal doctors, or illicitly manufactured black market drugs. As if addiction isn’t bad enough, latest research shows that opioid abuse follows a straight line to heroin usage and even worst, to synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, a highrisk drug.

Many authorities compare fentanyl usage to Russian Roulette.

Most fentanyl is manufactured in China where safety standards are not enforced, and eventually a user will get a bad batch. Will it be now, or later? Either way, dead is dead.

Opioid addiction has created a national crisis that affects public health and the social and eco-

homelessness in our communities. The purpose of the We All Count campaign is to conduct a street outreach count of youth in need of services. The count will enable North County Lifeline, and other service providers, to secure government funding for desperately needed housing and lifeskills programs that serve youth experiencing homelessness in San Diego County.

North County Lifeline will coordinate We All Count activities in North County neighborhoods and will provide a Come and Be Counted center at our campus in Vista. Contact Lifeline at 3142 Vista Way, Suite 400, Oceanside, 92054.

nomic welfare of Americans.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total "economic burden" of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is a staggering $78.5 billion a year which includes health care costs, lost worker productivity, treatment expenses and criminal justice involvement.

How did this happen?

Medical science has long sought a safe, non-addictive solution to chronic pain that many suffer from. American society is also used to taking pills for the slightest of pain.

Have a headache? Take two, or better yet, three aspirin. Have a backache? Try Tylenol.

In the late 1990s, pharmaceutical companies seemed to have found the panacea for pain treatment – opioids.

Representatives of manufacturers – often doctors - assured their medical colleagues that patients who used these new pain relievers were not risking addiction, the drugs had undergone extensive testing and they were safe. Since the pharmaceutical reps were medical

27th starting at 2pm in the Center museum.

Local historian, Linda A. Canada, will be hosting a lecture about the history of Japanese Americans and their transition from local industry in San Diego to living in internment camps during World War II. The lecture is in conjunction with our newest exhibition, Manzanar: The Wartime Photographs of Ansel Adams which give an intimate look through the lens of celebrated photographer, Ansel Adams, at the daily life in Manzanar, one of the ten JapaneseAmerican incarceration camps in the U.S. during World War II. Also, concurrently on view is Wendy Maruyama: Executive Order 9066 which analyzes the internment camps with a contemporary eye.

authorities, healthcare providers responded in a big way. They prescribed these ‘miracle pain killers’ in record numbers. Drug distributors soon followed, streamlining their delivery routes in order to provide more and more product to pharmacies, medical clinics and health care providers.

This ready availability of these drugs resulted in their widespread misuse, which led to the revelation these pain killers indeed were not only addictive, but highly so. In case after case, doctors watched patients become dependent on these drugs after as few as two exposures. Thus, these opioid users were unknowingly hooked in a death spiral, as overdose deaths increased dramatically. In 2015, more than 33,000 Americans died as a result of overdosing.

The primary source of drugs involved? Legal prescriptions from doctors. Soon, opioid deaths led all others in many Midwestern states. True, certain controls were established on the availability of opioids, which made pain reliever seekThe Opioid Crisis Cont. on Page 5

We sat down and commenced to play and/or explore grandpa's house.

Man About Town

Youngest son, Kenny, brings his daughter, Alex, by to see grandpa most every Monday and Wednesday mornings, sometimes Friday as well.

Kenny told me, "y'know, I know I'm gonna have to start disciplining her . . . 'cause I don't want her getting hurt.

But I'm not sure I can do it.

Yesterday she was standing on a chair and waving her hands like she was gonna hit somebody . . . and she might, had she been in nursery school; and she might have lost her balance and fell off the chair.

Andi (Alex's mother) finally told her she'd have to go sit in the "naughty chair."

Alex dutifully went to the 'naughty chair' and had a seat.

She looked down at the floor with a sullen look, some might call it a frown, on her face . . . for about a minute. Then she looked up at Kenny and her eye's sparkled and she grinned.

It pleases ol' gramps to hear that when Kenny arrives to pick her up from her mother she says, "granpa, granpa."

She seems to know where she's going and what the first stop is.

"I just totally lost it," said Kenny. "I laughed so hard my This morning, when I stomach hurt. That little imp. answered the door and swung Looking at me with that big the security door open, she grin of hers . . . no way I'll ever looked and saw grandpa and be able to discipline her. the biggest grin broke out on Probably the same with you. her face. Melted the Old One's You probably won't be able to heart right away. discipline her either."

submitted for manufacturing, distribution, testing and non-storefront retail licenses.

Some of Oceanside’s most experienced farming families, who have sought legalized cannabis for years, are among the applicants.

Most other North County cities have passed ordinances to ban cannabis businesses. In most cases, the local laws supercede state law.

Vista voters approved a ballot initiative in November that will allow the retail sale of medical marijuana by up to 11 businesses. The city is scheduled to begin taking applications this week.

Escondido currently does not allow the cultivation, distribution, or sale of cannabis but there is a new city council and there is a reasonable expectation that they will take another look at it and decide whether or not to reverse course and allow it.

Permitting fees, and the percentage of sales that goes to the city can amount to a large new revenue source, a tempting incentive during tight budget times.

The new Escondido City Council appears to lean more toward a more Liberal political philosophy and might be more receptive to the idea.

The previous council, strongly Conservative, turn the proposed measures down and were quite firm in their opposition. Whether that changes now remains to be seen.

(I thought to myself . . ."Granpa's aren't here to discipline their lil granddaughters.

We're here to spoil them rotten and to love 'em.")

Another time Andi told Alex she was gonna have to sit in the 'naughty chair' for two minutes.

After about 20 seconds she looked up, smiled, and said, "all done?"

The little tyke makes us laugh.

And she makes my day whenever Kenny brings her around.

Great big belly laughs for both Kenny and Grandpa this morning. Tickled our funny bones.

ers turn to heroin, which became easier to obtain, at considerably lower prices. This fueled even more deaths and ushered in a new threat: illicitly manufactured fentanyl, which as we have seen is a powerful synthetic opioid.

Pity the poor person who only wanted a good night sleep or to be free of pain for an hour or so. Instead, he or she was given what proved to be life-long addiction which in many instances led to an early death.

By 2015, an estimated 2 million people in the United States suffered from substance use disorders related to prescription opioids while 591,000 suffered from heroin use disorder (with some suffering from both). The states hardest hit by this epidemic were mostly in the Midwest – Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa. News of this disaster travelled slowly at first.

Several pending lawsuits accuses manufacturers and drug distributors of deliberately choosing the Midwest as the area to introduce these new pain killers.

that beautiful part of our daughter who loved to laugh, dance, and sing and was always the light and joy of our family life. But when she learned that famous people suffered and died of this same disease which took her favorite Nana, well it opened her heart and her eyes.

She read Friedrich Gomez's article how these famous brave men and women wanted us to continue fighting Alzheimer's after they died. And to never forget how we can help by educating others about symptoms and prevention steps.

My daughter now logs onto the Alzheimer's websites to continue learning more and has become a soldier fighting this disease that took her precious Grandma away from her. She wants to be active in Alzheimer's walka-thons and now wants to visit the elderly to comfort them, and show them love. She now says she knows that her Nana would want her to continue fighting Alzheimer's, in her memory. Just like all those famous people in Mr. Gomez's story.

Mr. Davis, please, please thank Mr. Gomez for what he has done.

I am crying tears of joy right now as I thank God for giving our daughter back to us. Again a bundle of joy with a new commitment in her little heart.

And Mr. Lyle Davis, thank you sir for bringing such a beautiful message into our world. You and your Paper can truly change human lives.

From the Patrick Flannigan family & relatives, North San Diego County.

Why? Because the Federal Highway System in these five states runs through the heart of America providing ready access to small town hospitals (and their somewhat limited police departments) and doctors. One lawsuit suggests in effect that, manufacturers and distributors chose these states with the cunning accuracy of a military operation.

The complaint states further, “That these experts in drug manufacturing and distribution did not know the addiction potential these pain killers possessed is not only naïve, it is insane folly. Of course, they knew. In many instances distributors purchased larger delivery vehicles and trained their drivers with practice runs so as to familiarize them with the most efficient access routes to target communities months in advance of their first deliveries.”

Quite an indictment if it can be proven in a court of law.

Recent research shows there were problems from the very first – early on patients misused prescribed opioids 21 to 29 per cent of the time. Also, they Another Friedrich Fan

Three points of interest. I enjoy reading Friedrich Gomez' articles for the unique and different ways he presents his stories.

(1) He often uses multiple choice quizzes which is different and draws us readers into the storyline and makes us a part of the process. It challenges us to learn more and the quiz makes it fun. Brilliant device!

(2) In his story on President Ronald Reagan's assassination attempt, he writes as if the drama is unfolding right before our eyes and we are drawn into the action and feel we are "right there" as it is happening. My high school English teacher called this technique "writing in the First-Person" and I honestly couldn't put the article down as it drew me right into the action as it was unfolding.

(3) His stories are not just for men or women, he writes on subjects that are very interesting for both genders.

I'm curious as to his background. Is he of American Indian ancestry as I've heard and if so what tribe? (Editor’s Note: Yes, he is Kumeyaay). And also, I heard on the grapevine that you are not only an airplane pilot, a sky-diver, but also a scuba diver. Did you fly commercial airlines or private or military planes? (Editor’s Note: Yes, am a licensed private pilot but inactive; made five parachute jumps (all voluntary) and, yes, I am scuba qualified).

If all of this is true, how in the world do you find the time to publish a weekly newspaper and still have all these various activities and hobbies?

developed opioid use disorder between 8 and 12 percent of the time. An alarming sub-statistic is that 4 to 6 percent of them, especially those who misused prescription opioids, transitioned into heroin usage. In other words, the gateway drug to heroin addiction was opioids legitimately prescribed by physicians.

Other interesting facts have emerged: Approximately 80 percent of those who became heroin users first misused prescription opioids; opioid overdoses increased by 30 percent from July 2016 through September 2017 in 52 areas in 45 states, with the Midwestern region seeing a 70 percent increase from July 2016 through September 2017. Put another way, our love of drugs is killing us at a record rate.

Adding fuel to this fire is a release by the Center for Disease Control that contains stunning facts: In 2016, health care providers across the US wrote more than 214 million prescriptions for opioid pain medication—a rate of 66.5 prescriptions per 100 people, or approximately two doses for every household in America.

I type too fast. Sometimes cruise at 75 words a minute.

My friends had a good laugh at my expense during lunch yesterday. I had made a "typo" in citing JFK's death in 1961 as opposed to his assassination death in 1963. We all knew it was unintentional and most mortals know the correct year of JFK's demise, but alas, the ribbing was all in good fun.

I remember once reading a scholarly work on Abraham Lincoln in the newspaper and the year of Lincoln's death was given as 1965 (he died in 1865). It was funny. Still is. Good friend Crystal, bless her heart, handed me -between laughs -- a copy of Reader's Digest (Oct. 18, 2018 issue), which listed similar "typos" as mine -- but from famous people. After reading worse examples than my own from Shakespeare to Theodore Dreiser, James Joyce, and even from my beloved J. K. Rowling (very first edition of the very first Harry Potter book) -- well, I felt in pretty good company!

Some typos I only wish were true: The Vancouver Sun Daily Province printed that nobody died on the Titanic!

What really tickled my funny bone was seeing that one edition of The Holy Bible listed the 7th Commandment as "Thou shalt commit adultery" as opposed to "Thou shalt not commit adultery." (The editors subsequently lost their printing licenses.)

Well, after all of that, I joined my

Another finding is as many as 1 in 5 users receive prescription opioids long-term for noncancer pain in primary care settings (doctor’s offices), and more than 11 million people abused prescription opioids in 2016. Today, one-thousand people daily are treated in emergency departments of hospitals and other clinics for misusing or abusing prescription opioids.

The effects of this epidemic on one Midwestern state, Indiana, is shown in an Indianapolis Star newspaper head line: Opioidrelated deaths rose 52 percent between 2015 and 2016.

Indiana governor Eric Holcomb’s response was, “Attacking this epidemic is part of my agenda, although there is no single solution or secret weapon to end this devastating problem. Indiana must attack substance abuse as aggressively as substance abuse is attacking Hoosier lives, families and communities.”

The governor continued. “The stories are gut-wrenching: babies born addicted to drugs;

high school athletes getting hooked on the pills they’re prescribed for sports injuries; elderly Hoosiers with chronic pain problems debilitated by the very solution prescribed to them.

Victims come from all walks of life, and they’re dying.”

He pointed out that, “In 2016, more people died from drug overdoses in the U.S. than the total number of Americans killed in the Vietnam War. In our state, opioid overdose deaths have more than doubled the last three years. Over the same period, we saw drug-related arrests by Indiana State Police increase by more than 40 percent.”

The Gov illustrated the problem clearly, but like many leaders, he’s a bit short on how to solve the issue.

Let’s go back to Charlotte, the young lady we met earlier. Her news is both good and bad. For 3 years as an unwilling sexworker, she was moved from state-to-state, i.e., California to Florida to Minnesota to Wisconsin by traffickers who call their girls ‘hides’ or ‘hair assets’. In 2016, she escaped her abductors and hid out for two days in a college rest room. On day three, with encouragement from understanding female students, she sought help at the school’s health clinic.

•••• Charlotte completed a successful drug withdrawal program.

In the fall of 2017 as an undercover operative she aided the Ohio State Police in making a series of high-profile arrests of human traffickers.

Alas, Charlotte relapsed in the process. Currently in treatment, she walks the floor with her ever-present cat, Magic, holding imaginary conversations with her grandmother. In October, she joined a community choral group and has shown remarkable progress since then.

Charlotte’s challenge to get clean and stay that way illustrates another problem. Usual treatment methods do not seem as effective against opioid addiction as with other drugs, particularly alcohol. Many opioid abusers resist the message offered by Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, saying these people drank or used of his or her own free will, not from being

betrayed by the medical profession and deliberately turned on to opioids.

In 2017, President Trump moved to declare the opioid crisis a “public health emergency” with the hope of aiding communities across the United States in their fight. Most workers in the field say this has done little to help either the addict or the worker.

Says Ronald Stokes of Akron, Ohio’s Substance Abuse Network, “A limited amount of money was released – it’s hard to identify the exact amount, perhaps $150 million, with the lion’s share going to those states that supported Trump’s presidential aspirations. These funds went not used to fight the epidemic but went instead to local projects such as job retraining or establishing soup kitchens. Both are needed services, but do not address the needs of the using addict or his or her recovery.”

Since much of the loss and pain caused by opioid misuse has occurred in rural areas of the Midwest, some local churches have established substance abuse clinics, group therapy sessions and lectures from law enforcement officers and other officials to identify the problem and provide alternate resources.

One of these efforts is Rural Matters of Texas. They endeavor to equip pastors, elders and ministry leaders with reliable information to address the specific cultural needs of their church members. The Billy Graham Center founded the Rural Matters Institute to aid churches facing the unique challenges of rural ministries.

One major benefit of this program has been to describe and name the drugs that cause most of the addictions: oxycodone, morphine, and fentanyl.

For most states, help from Washington D.C. has been slow in arriving. Under President Obama, some 6 billion dollars was allocated to identify and treat the problem in the 5 states hit the hardest: Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Indiana. This funding was eliminated under the Trump Administration, although some monies were released after the House of Representatives passed an Opioid Emergency Funding bill.

Big issues on the table

We have a new Governor, a new budget plan and a new legislative session that just began. Needless to say, many very important issues will be discussed in Sacramento over the coming months.

The budget’s education initiatives would freeze UC and CSU tuition, make the first two years at community colleges free, make Cal-Grants more widely available and expand other aid programs. K-14 education funding would grow, including plans for universal preschool and efforts to help districts resolve their unfunded pension liabilities.

The budget includes a proposal to create a statewide purchasing pool intended to drive down prescription drug costs for all Californians by making the state the sole price negotiator/purchaser of prescription drugs. To improve mental healthcare and reduce homelessness, added expenditures are proposed to increase training for public mental health practitioners. And Medi-Cal resources would be increased so that better healthcare would be available throughout California’s underserved areas.

In the wake of recent wildfires, Cal Fire would be updated with new equipment, including new air tankers and

Ronald Reagan Cover Story

Hello Editor,

Your article on RR brought back a lot of memories of when I lived in San Marino, Ca., back in the 70's and 80's.

I was a member of the Republican Club of San Marino when Ronald came to talk. He was running for Governor, and had already started his campaign. Pat had made some personal attacks on Ronald's character in the media. After Ronald spoke and while we were having dinner, I approached him and said "fight fire with fire, the next time he attacks you, agree with him". I suggested some comments. He laughed at my suggestions while he nodded yes and asked my name. He said anytime you have any more suggestions, here's my address, I personally read all letters, while he handed me a piece of paper. We discussed a few other campaign issues and I recognized that he had something few people have, COMMON SENSE. And copious amounts of it as well.

I'm sure you know that common sense is; UNCOMMON. I have found that only about 10% of the people in this world have it of varying degrees.

Those who have it, make GOOD listeners. That's because we listen to other people's mistakes and don't do them ourselves. It makes life so much easier. I too am one of those that joke in the face of adversity. I came from a

fire engines. Prescribed burns and other fuel reduction efforts that lead to improved forest health would reduce fire danger. California’s Public Utilities Commission would oversee wildfire mitigation plans, and require compliance with mandates aimed at decreasing utility-caused fires.

Efforts to increase housing affordability, provide additional paid leave for child care, upgrade the 911 system, along with many other initiatives, are all major issues for this session.

What do you think? These policies and the budget will be reviewed, debated and modified over the coming months and I’d love to hear from you about some of these proposals. You can view the Governor’s budget here: http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/ I am looking forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we dig into these important issues.

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.

dis-functional family starting from the age of 4 years old. I had no father and a mother who suffered from mental illness. I managed quite well when it came to handling the state authorities and the court system of New York. By the GRACE OF GOD, I sailed through my childhood unscathed, I have no regrets. Today at 77, I am one of the happiest people on earth. I have no needs or wants and living a very full life, surrounding myself with boundless LOVE. I keep my mind and body active and I still laugh and joke constantly, especially when working with puns.

I believe that it was Ronald's COMMON SENSE that helped him immensely, through life.

P.S. I often thought of writing you to ask why are you wasting good paper in the Mayors Corner on worthless Sam Abed. Isn't it nice to have a new mayor in Escondido?

I wrote a paper and laminated it and gave as a gift to my 2 oldest grandsons on" wisdom for a happy life". I have copied and given it to many people who requested it, because they thought it was that good. If you are interested ,I can send you a copy for your paper. It would need a little editing.

AN EASY DECISION

No changes should be considered for the infantry that don’t improve efficiency and effectiveness.

In World War II the combat infantry made up 10% of the troops and 70% of the casualties.

It is a risky and demanding branch that requires specific skills.

Military research and study have proven conclusively that very few women meet that criteria. Women also have personal needs and requirements.

Women have certainly proven to be capable of serving effectively in the other branches of the services but must not be considered for combat infantry.

Logic and common sense determine a “No” to women seeking service in combat infantry. Political correctness must not influence military decisions.

I am a 95 year old veteran that served with the 31st Infantry Division, and a Purple Heart recipient. I served 22 months in New Guinea, Morotai, and Mindanao.

Our 200 man rifle company had over 30 men killed and most of the rest were wounded.

Reminiscing as a 19 year old, I would have appreciated a lady soldier sharing my foxhole or pillbox on those long scary nights. However, I would not want my wife, daughter, or any female member of my family to serve in the combat infantry. /s//Neal Hook Escondido, CA.

Historically Speaking

by Tom Morrow

It was based on a James Mitchener novel, “Space,” starring James Garner, Harry Hamlin and a cast too large for me to remember.

I arranged rooms, food service, special needs and requests of the producers while they were filming on the hotel property. One afternoon Hamlin came into my office asking about the hotel’s resident spirit. I told him the story and what I had discovered during my research, but he said he’d like to see Room 3361.

I obliged, taking on the long walk to the back section of the hotel where the room was located.

Harry and The Ghost

In the late 1890s, the venerable Hotel del Coronado was the social toast of San Diego. The posh hotel was Southern California’s first elegant seaside resort that attracted the rich and famous from around the world. Although, some of those who checked in had questionable reputations – “including ladies of the evening.”

As the story goes, the body of a known prostitute was found outside one of the rooms after a suspected night of someone’s chicanery. She was identified with a now long-forgotten name. The corpse’ identity has slipped into one of the hotel’s many historic tales. No one knows what happened or “who dunnit,” or maybe the truth was known at the time, but has been long forgotten.

What lingers is a ghost story.

Over the years guests have reported seeing a lady wearing gay nineties apparel walking the halls of the great building. The story varies from one year to the next. There have been ghost hunters from around the world checking into the Hotel del Coronado to see if they might discover some apparition floating down a hallway or traveling up the oldest Otis elevator west of the Mississippi.

As the years have passed, the tale of the lady at the Del Coronado has varied – dramatically. When I was vice president of communications and in charge of the hotel’s historical archives, the story centered around one of less-popular rooms located in the far west end of the hotel – Room 3361. While doing my historical due diligence I discovered that Room 3361 didn’t exist until 1945. The portion in which the room is located is a section built during World War II to house officers and pilots in training at nearby North Island Naval Air Station.

There are those, especially owners and promoters of the hotel, who didn’t and don’t believe my research. Well, you have to admit it’s a good yarn that is hard to prove – there was a dead woman found outside of a room sometime in the ninth decade of the 19th century.

Today, no one knows which room, which floor, or which section of the world’s largest wooden structure.

But ghost hunters persist on chasing – well, a ghost of a story. Such was the case during the filming of a television miniseries during 1984.

Inside, Harry looked around the small room. After a few minutes he looked at me with eyes wide open, insisting he could feel a presence of some kind. I humored the situation – after all, the guests are always right – right?

“Could I spend the night in this room?” Harry asked. I chuckled and said it would be arranged. I already had him booked into one of the hotel’s best suites, but on this one night he wanted to spend it in Room 3361.

The next morning I saw Harry having breakfast in the Coronado Room. I stopped by and asked him if he had anything of interest to report on his stay in the ghost room?

“Tom, something was there. I swear I could feel it, but I didn’t see anything,” he replied. He thanked me profusely for arranging his special accommodations for that evening.

Harry joined hundreds of other ghost hunters, who, down through the years, have chased the elusive spirit that, reportedly, roams the halls of the great house.

As a film director once said, “Never let a few facts get in the way of a good story.”

SIGNS SEEN -- In a Podiatrist's office: "Time wounds all heels."

Dr. Wilson Compton, Deputy Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in recent testimony before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, stated . . . “in those rural communities hit particularly hard, usage of opioids has continued to grow despite efforts to curtail it.

Success in the more urban areas of our country has been heartening, if slow, but in those communities with low-income, poor health delivery systems and limited access to medical services or treatment centers, progress has been less detectable.”

During the past year, statistics on opioid overdose deaths in large cities shows an increase of 54 percent in 16 states.

According to the Center of Disease Control, more than two-thirds of all US opioid overdose deaths in 2016 involve a doctor’s prescription. Illicit opioids usage is the second major cause of deaths.

With this staggering statistic

waving in the breeze, little has been done to make it more difficult for physicians to prescribe or curtail opioid usage. A number of the larger medical practices have imposed restrictions on their members as to how many opioid prescriptions may be written. In some HMO’s, doctors who prescribe opioids must defend his or her decision to grant such a prescription before an internal ethics committee. This has substantially curtailed addiction in that area, but most experts say this is well-intentioned, but not nearly enough.

A 5-Point Strategy to Combat the Crisis

The United States Department of Human Health and Services has devised a 5-Point Strategy to Combat the Crisis which has won the support of many front-line authorities. The purpose of these 5-Points is to provide addiction prevention, more effective treatment and a greater chance of recovery.

Oceanside-based Hockey League Signs up Players With Bonus - A bonus, that is - on top of a free program! Having celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, TriCity Inline Hockey League (TCIHL), an Oceanside based non-profit organization, will hold Roller Hockey Clinics, a series of free events for children and youth in Oceanside-Carlsbad-Vista and surrounding areas between the ages of 5 through 17, 9:00am to 12:00pm on Saturdays, February 2nd, 9th, and 16th, at the Martin Luther King Jr. Park’s roller hockey rink at 4300 Mesa Drive in Oceanside. The program consists of free skating lessons, fun games, drills, and scrimmage. Beginners and experienced players are welcome. Rink activities will take place from 9:00am to 10:30am for mites and squirts, and from 10:30am to 12:00pm for peewees and bantams. “Starter kits” will be provided to first time players to borrow onsite for the event, and will consist of skates, sticks, sheen guards, elbow guards, and other padding. Bonus: first 30 lucky mites and squirts participating during the early time slot on February 2nd will receive a free commemorative TCIHL T-Shirt!

The three clinics will coincide with optional in-person registration for TCIHL’s Spring-2019 Season, a co-ed recreational

implement: Improved Access to treatment centers. In 2017, HHS issued $800 million in grants to support the Big Three: Prevention, Treatment and Recovery through Medicaid, but treatment centers are overloaded, and the desired number of new units is grossly inadequate.

The second point: Better Data.

By reporting data concerning overdoses and other information in a more timely fashion, specific public health services can respond more quickly to new problems.

The third point: Better Pain Management. This includes prescribing guidelines, payment issues, and improved options to manage pain – yoga classes, hypnosis, and related actions.

Finally, Better Availability and Targeting of OverdoseReversing Drugs – Treating overdoses with Naloxone, or the nasal spray version Narcan, or the pre-filled autoinjection, Evzio, has proven effective in saving lives during an overdose. The problem is the availability of these remedies when an overdose occurs – they are not inexpensive and

program for kids and youth from March to June 2019. Inline hockey is a very fastpaced but safer game compared to ice hockey. It is considered a contact sport, but body checking is prohibited. Players use inline skates, a type of roller skates unlike quad skates, which have two front and two rear wheels, inline skates typically have two to five wheels arranged in a single line. With registration now open, families may sign up their child to play in a division of mites (8 & under), squirts (10 & under), peewees (12 & under), or bantams (17 & under). Practices – held either Tuesdays or Thursdays - begin the week of March 5th. Games begin March 8th and 9th (on Fridays for Bantams and Saturdays for all other divisions), concluding with playoffs, then championship June 2nd, 2019. Whole season registration fee for new players is only $84 or $30 for goalies ($25 jersey fee already included, $14 additional AAU insurance fee will be charged if the player does not have it already).

TCIHL’s mission is to stress the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, scholastic achievement, integrity, respect for authority, and to promote the game of inline hockey in North County San Diego.

To achieve this objective TCIHL provides a supervised program under the rules and regulations of AAU/USA Roller Sports.

Admission for TCIHL clinics and games is always free to spectators. Please see website www.tcihl.com for more information including league history, player clinics, season details, and registration. Questions may be addressed to tricityinlinehockey@gmail.com or call 760-282-4452.

Christian Scientist to Speak on “Learn to Pray and Heal” – The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Escondido, and 1st Church of Christ, Scientist, Poway/Rancho Bernardo, will sponsor a free presentation

by Nate Frederick, C.S. at 3pm on Sunday, February 3, at the Escondido public library, 239 Kalmia Street, Escondido. His lecture, “Learn to Pray and Heal, a Spiritual Adventure,” explores faith that isn’t blind, how to understand God as Love itself, and

while easy to use, they must be supplied before the overdose.

The goal of HHS is to train the general public in how to administer these therapies and make them available at a low cost to Emergency Room personnel, Emergency Medical Technology workers and police and sheriff departments nation-wide.

How important is it to have Naloxone available at the time of an overdose you ask? Here, you decide.

An excerpt from a recent Sacramento Bee newspaper article: One man has died, and a dozen others were hospitalized in Chico on Saturday morning due to apparent drug overdoses, according to authorities.

All 13 victims were found at a home in the 1100 block of Santana Court after a call came in at around 9 a.m. from someone inside the residence, Chico Police Chief Michael O’Brien said during a press conference.

“Every indication — talking to medical staff, talking to doctors — everything is consis-

how to express Love unselfishly. Nate is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. His talk is inspired by the Bible-based healing principles discovered

by Mary Baker Eddy and set down in her breakthrough book, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.” Nate studied perennial religion at Hampshire College where he was introduced to Christian Science healing. He is a spiritual adventurer who has traveled the globe sharing healing insights, exploring new cultures and performing music. After traveling the world for a year and hiking extensively in the Himalayas, he came to Boston in 2008 to work for his church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston. He has seen everything from broken hearts to broken bones and cancer healed through prayer alone. First Church of Christ, Scientist, Escondido, one of the sponsors of the lecture, is located at 440 South Broadway, Escondido.

The free monthly meetings are held the first Monday of every month from 10:00am to 12:00noon, in the Parish Hall at San Rafael Church, 17252 Bernardo Center Drive, Rancho Bernardo. The first hour features a speaker relating to Parkinson’s and the second half consists of breakout groups of Parkinson’s patients together in one area and caregivers in another area. The featured speaker for the February 4th meeting is Lindsay Zehren who will present “Audibility – Music Therapy Programs for People with Parkinson’s.” During the presentation, Lindsay will distribute various instruments to the attendees who will participate in a sample music making class.

O’Brien said officers administered both CPR and six doses of Naloxone after they arrived at the home and found multiple individuals in what appeared to be life-threatening overdose conditions.”

There you have it, a recent as yesterday article describing the effectiveness of Naloxone. But any thinking person would realize a drug that rescues the dead is not the solution to the problem, it is just a tool to revive users in case of an overdose.

The solution is to stop the need for the drug in the first place, and that is a horse of another color.

prescriptions for every 100 persons (approximately 21 million prescriptions) in 2013. Since then prescriptions have declined by nearly 13 percent in California, and deaths from opioid addiction has fallen from 529 in 2013 to 297 in 2018.

It’s clear, opioid addiction, and its companion, Human Sexual Trafficking, presents a major threat to America and California society. The question is, do we as a people have the will, the heart, the necessary passion, to overcome this problem, or will we shrug and say, “It’s a problem, but it’s not my problem.

I’m not going to worry about it.”

We know the enemy. Hopefully, we as a society, will respond appropriately and support efforts to eliminate this scourge.

If we don’t there are dark days ahead for our youth and ourselves. Will we respond? Only time will tell.

the backlogged chapters as fast as possible. Reading becomes skimming and understanding becomes… …well, the goal is to finish the whole Bible, right?

Here’s a better solution: Slow Down. Don’t hurry. The Bible, like a good wine, is meant to be savored.

And to savor you have to sip, not gulp.

Tyra is a 4-year-old Mastiff mix looking for a home. She is a big girl with a lot of love to give! Tyra was found as a stray, but staff at San Diego Humane Society have discovered she is a sweet, friendly girl who loves to be petted.

She is playful and enjoys her toys, and walks beautifully on a leash as well. Meet Tyra at our Escondido Campus to make this happy-golucky lady a part of your family. Her adoption fee includes her spay, permanent microchip identification, current vaccinations, 30 days worry free insurance from Trupanion Insurance and a certificate for a free veterinary exam!

By now you have had time to break most of your new year’s resolutions.

Maybe you made a resolution to read the entire Bible in 2019.

Someone even gave you a printed guide that told you what you should read every day to reach that goal.

But January has been tough. You missed a couple days. Got busy or just forgot. Now you’re falling behind and feel discouraged.

Or the guide says read a bunch of stuff that is pretty dull. The Books of Numbers and Leviticus come to mind. You get bogged down and skip a few days. It seems like you will never catch up.

Your solution is to whip through

Gulping down the scriptures will just leave you thirstier than when you began. Sipping and savoring will leave you satisfied. And, it will help you move along at a good pace toward your goal.

Don’t throw your guide away. Make it your servant, not your task master. It will guide you through the scriptures, but it may set too fast a pace for you. As you move through the year, don’t fret over missed days. Soon, you will be so caught up in the scriptures you will find yourself reading past the day’s passages because you can’t wait to see what is next.

The good thing about resolving to read the Bible through in a year is that you can’t break the resolution until next December. That’s a lot longer than most resolutions are kept.

Enjoy the Bible. Sip. Savor. And read on.

San Marcos • Mayor Rebecca Jones Save energy this winter

Cooler temperatures bring sweaters, jackets and making sure your home is ready for the change of season.

Here are some energy saving tips: • Buy a power strip for your entertainment center – and remember to use it! Your TV, sound and gaming systems can all be plugged into a power strip and one button turns everything off.

Some strips even come with a remote control.

• Appliances with glowing lights or displays (like coffee makers) use small amounts of

electricity all day and night, which can add up over time. Unplug them when it makes sense.

• You can get timers for your electronics that require charging – the timer allows you to plug in your phone or tablet computer and not waste electricity once it’s fully charged.

• Make sure your heating system is in working order.

For more information about conserving energy this holiday season, please visit www.sdge.com or contact me at rjones@sanmarcos.net.

Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara Greetings Escondido!

This week the council was able to move the location of the MFRO. The MFRO is a new water treatment facility that could be considered the second phase of moving Escondido’s water to being recycled and potable. This second phase improves the water to where it can be used for farming.

The original proposed site was once considered for HiTech high school. It is in a neighborhood and simply is not the best location when you consider the long-term use of that property. The new location

talent pipeline for our region,” shared Danielle Valenciano, Director of Community Scholarships at The San Diego Foundation. “Today’s students will be the leaders of tomorrow. By supporting them with scholarships we are creating a more inclusive economy and workforce, and building a lifelong connection between San Diego students and the region.” According to research from the Public Policy Institute of California, only a fraction of students in California capable of earning a degree actually do, and students from underserved communities are greatly underrepresented in colleges and universities.

The Community Scholarship Program ensures that the cost of college is not a barrier to entry for higher education attainment and career growth.

The San Diego Foundation Community Scholarship Program is the largest in the region outside of the university system and provides a variety of scholarships to high school students, current college students, graduate students and adult re-entry students. Since 1997, the program has awarded more than $30 million to thousands of students.

The Common Scholarship Application can be accessed at www.sdfoundation.org/ScholarshipApplica tion. For more information about the scholarship process, please contact scholarships@sdfoundation.org. Contact: Justin Nunez, The San Diego Foundation, 619235-2300, justin@sdfoundation.org.

North County's premier men's a cappella chorus, began 2019 with a gala Installation Dinner at the Oceana clubhouse in Oceanside on January 8th. The event marked the 65th anniversary for the group which started in Fallbrook as the "Avocado Empire Chapter" of the Barbershop Harmony Society, but changed its name to the "Palomar-Pacific Chapter" when it moved to the more densely populated San Marcos area.

Highlight of the catered dinner was the swearing in of the new Board of Directors for 2019.

Long-time member Joe Pascucci was the Installing Officer, administering the Oath to: President, Joe Quince; Music/Performance V.P. Charlie Wendt; Membership Development, Scott Higgins; Marketing/PR, Tom Redler; Secretary, Alex Termulo; Member-atLarge, Bill Colburn; Treasurer, Chuck Youde; and Music Director, David Garstang.

First order of 2019 business is to prepare for the group's popular SINGING VALENTINE project - an annual fundraiser which helps defray chorus expenses.

Every year the chorus is divided into quartets that are available to go anywhere in North County in order to surprise loved ones with two beautiful romantic love songs, plus a long-stemmed rose, and a personalized Valentine card! Personal deliveries will be available on Thursday, February 14, and Friday, February 15, from 11:00am to 7:00pm both days.

Oceanside • Mayor Peter Weiss

Most of O c e a n s i d e ’s water is imported and requires an e n o r m o u s amount of energy to transport, is at risk of drought and subject to increasing water costs.

However, a small portion comes from a naturally occurring underground aquifer called the Mission Basin. Due to increasing demand, this source has declined over the years. The City is now taking steps to replenish this supply through Pure Water Oceanside.

Pure Water Oceanside is an advanced purification program that will use recycled water to create a new local source of high-quality drinking water that is clean, safe, drought-proof and environmentally sound. The process uses stateof-the art water purification steps that replicate and accelerate nature’s natural water recycling process and will produce enough water to provide approximately a quarter of the city’s water supply!

The City is currently in the design and build phase of this project and will be hosting public tours in early 2019.

The Generations Gap: Part I

We have come to believe that the lack of understanding and empathy between young Americans and our older generations has reached unprecedented levels and that the driving force behind this schism has been consumer technology. In these next few columns we’ll try to pin-point the sources of the antipathy between major segments of our society and explore ways to breach the impediments to understanding and appreciation of one another. This is not the result of any grant funded academic exercise. There are no footnotes, ibeds or op.cites. The conclusions here come from the observations and personal experiences of Nome and

Social Butterfly Cont. from Page 11

The differences between older and younger generations have been a topic of discussion and controversy since we became social animals, long before we even had a written history. For most of history, limited life expectancy meant that we primarily dealt with only two adult generations. These days Internet research on contemporary generations yields many different interpretations and generational structures. According to Doctor Jill Novak of Texas A & M University there are six living American generations. The GI generation (Born 1901-1926) AKA the Greatest Generation, the Silent Generation (B.1927-1945), The Baby Boomers (B.19461965), The X Generation (B19661980), The Millennials (B19812000) AKA “Y” or “Echo Boomers” and finally the Z generation (2001- ???) or “Boomlets.”

“Tgen”), is useful only to separate the other two. They are: The Older Generation “Ogen” was born before 1966 (54 years old and up)

The Transition Generation “Tgen” was born between 1966 and 1980 (38-53 years old) The Younger Generation “Ygen” was born after 1981 (37 years and younger).

It is all too common among the “Ogen” to regard the “Ygen” as being arrogant, emotionally unstable, socially inept, ill educat-

There are many other generational structures, each one having a demographic purpose. These distinctions are arbitrary and have no meaning outside of the specific criteria that defines their structure. For the purpose of our analysis we need only three generations and the middle one,

The Music Men Chorus is the North San Diego County chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS), a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, enjoyment, and performance of the unique form of four-part, a cappella singing known as Barbershop. BHS is also dedicated to supporting and encouraging community singing of all forms. The Music Men share their music through performances at local senior and community centers, churches, and residential communities. Most recently, the chorus performed a holiday concert to a standing-room crowd at the Oceanside Senior Center. The Music Men Chorus holds open rehearsals on Tuesday evenings at the San Marcos Senior Activity Center (111 Richmar Avenue), and men of all ages who enjoy singing are welcome to attend and learn more about barbershop singing.

ed, lazy, self absorbed, respecting no one and lacking any human attributes deemed useful in society or the workplace. “Ygen” common lore sees the “Ogen” as stubborn, insensitive and technologically inept. The “Ogen” is hellbent on destroying the planet and never stopping to smell the roses.

These inaccurate and problematic stereotypes are only symptoms of a great disconnect in our society.

Where did it come from, where is it going and is there anything we can do about it. We’ll continue the discussion next week.

PETITION FOR APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIAN OF THE PERSON Case # 37-2018-00051141-PRGP-CTL Superior Court of Caalifornia, County of San Diego 1100 Union Street San Diego, CA. 92101 Central Courthouse Family Law

Guardianship of the person of Kaden Dean, Colton Jesina and Dalilah Jesina

Petitioner: Eva Beatty 453 Vale View Dr., Vista, CA. 92081 Phone 760.274.7647

Petitioner requests the court to appoint her as guardian for the children named above.

Attorney: Cathryn E. Young, Esq. Griffith, Young & Lass, APC 1525 Faraday Avenue, Suite 140 Carlsbad, CA. 92008 858.345.1720 Fax> 858.345.1725 Email: catie@gylfamilylaw.com

The proposed guardian is NOT related to the child or children named.

I am the proposed guardian. I will promplty furnish any information requested by an agency investigating an adoption or a local agency designated by the county to provide public social services.

The full legal name and date of birth of each child who needs a guardian is: Kaden Michael Dean, dob 3-10-06 Colton Honza Jesina, dob 11-11/07 Dalilah Hana-Sue Jesina, dob 910-09

The guardianship is necessary or convenient for the reasons given below: I am friends with the children’s mother, Melissa Dean Baumann, who has been incarcerated since July, 2014, sentenced 15 years to life. The whereabouts of their father, Mark Jesina, is unknown. He has made no attempt to contact me or the children since 7/2014. The children have been in my sole custody and care since 7/2014. I have raised them with the help of my husband. Melissa consents to the Legal Guardianship Appointment and has signed over Power of Attorney to me. Attached POA signed 8/1/14 & 3/22/17. I do not believe Father, if located, would contest the guardianship.
