Progress and on to the Phoenix Gazette where he was a columnist.
For the past several years, Sam has worked as a feature writer, as well as publishing 14 books, primarily on Arizona subjects. Today, he has ventured into the territory of North San Diego County to share some of his journalistic encounters. •••• William “Captain Kirk” Shatner, and “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry, came to Arizona. For me, it was a long-anticipated interview. It was an experience where I
had not gone before.
My Day as a Trekkie
PHOENIX, Arizona – While going through the learning process required to become a reporter, then a columnist, I discovered that often, long-anticipated interviews would be exactly what I hoped they'd be. But sometimes, they turned out to be major disappointments. My dealings with the creator and crew of “Star Trek” were classic examples of both.

On the plus side, Gene Roddenberry and Persis Khambatta were absolute delights. But William Shatner and Susan Oliver...well...not so much.
Remembering them in chronological order:
When offered the chance to meet and write about Persis Khambatta, I made no effort to conceal my eagerness. Nobody else in The Phoenix Gazette newsroom had any idea who she was, but I knew. She was not only a former Miss

India (she won the title at age 15), but she was also Lt. Ilia, a Deltan navigator aboard the USS Enterprise in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” (I am obligated to interject here that the fact that she was gorgeous had nothing to do with my willingness to conduct the interview. Admittedly, it may have sparked my interest somewhat, but my main focus was on her connection to “Star Trek.”
Really. I wouldn't lie about anything that important.)
So we met and I immediately noticed that she had very dark hair. While it's not unusual for an actress to have very dark hair, the woman she portrayed in the movie was bald. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just how things were on the planet Delta. Obviously, since the movie had been released several months prior and I had already seen it twice, her hair had grown back. She was nice and she was pretty. Unfortunately, her role in the movie didn't result in a stellar film career in the United States so she returned to India to work in television. She died of a heart attack in 1998. She was only 47. But Lieutenant Ilia lives on, still boldly going into space, the final frontier. A year later, a friend involved in movie production called and asked

if I'd be an extra in a sci-fi film being shot in Cordes Junction north of Phoenix. I quickly agreed when he said William Shatner was starring and would agree to an interview. As a “Star Trek” fan from the first episode, being offered a chance to discuss outer space with Capt. James T. Kirk was like an invitation to Nirvana. So we met behind one of the cameras but then came the bad news: Before I even got my first question posed, he told me not to ask him anything about “Star Trek.” Nothing. No trivia. No behind-the-scenes incidents. No bloopers. No nothing. Instead, he wanted to concentrate on his current project, a movie entitled “Kingdom of the Spiders.” Disappointed but devious, I tried to sneak in some Trekkie lore in my questions, asking things like, “Remember that episode where you and Spock had to fight giant spiders?” He chuckled at my feeble attempts but still refused.
He did, however, answer every other query I put to him, and he graciously posed for a photo, so it wasn't a total loss. I went to see the movie when it came to Phoenix. It wasn't very good. It's about giant tarantulas taking over a town. In the final scene, Shatner and his female companion are encased in a huge web and were about to meet their doom by becoming an arachnid snack. He should have stuck with “Star Trek.” Things like that never happened when he commanded the USS Enterprise. A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once. -Phyllis Diller

Susan Oliver was in just one “Star Trek” episode, but it was memorable. She portrayed Vina, a horribly disfigured woman who, through powerful hypnosis administered by some aliens, became a suitable (but green-skinned) mate for Jeffrey Hunter in the pilot production of the series. The pilot was eventually chopped into two parts and incorporated into the regular schedule. In it, Hunter's character was badly damaged in a space accident and the crew of the USS Enterprise returned him to a planet where the inhabitants used hypnosis to make things seem different than what they really were. So he was hypnotized to good health and fell in love with the already-hypnotized Vina and, we were left to assume, they lived happily ever after. The plot was a bit confusing, but Susan Oliver was hot. Green, but hot. She was also gorgeous, alluring, inviting, and tempting. It was lust at first sight for me.
Imagine, then, my excitement upon hearing that she was going to appear at a book-signing event in Litchfield Park, a Phoenix suburb and, as the paper's official “Star Trek” expert, I was assigned to cover it. Perhaps we could...you know...hit it off. It could happen. So I motored to the book store, entered the room and there she was. Susan Oliver. And she was hot. She was also gorgeous, alluring, tempting and several other adjectives that most definitely would not appear in my report. I took a chair close to her -Phyllis Diller

and waited while others asked inane questions about her book. Then, when it came my turn, I put it to her directly: “Do you remember when you were Vina?” She gave me a blank stare, which quickly morphed into a glare, then to a look of absolute disdain. “Who?” she replied and she wasn't smiling. I knew then that my hopes for a romantic liaison were dissolving faster than the Romulans did when they got phasered. “Vina,” I responded but it was weak and wimpy and she didn't even bother to answer.
She turned to answer more questions about her book. I rose with as much dignity as I had left and headed for the exit. Susan Oliver, my Vina, my true lust, smiled an insincere smile and said, “Oh, must you leave so soon? Well, stay in touch.” Even a broken-hearted Trekkie could recognize sarcasm.
Disturbing thoughts cascaded through my mental facilities as I prepared to meet Gene Roddenberry, the brilliant mind behind “Star Trek” and thus the object of my deepest admiration. I wanted him to be a nice person because I had been a Trekkie since before the word had been invented. But I had heard that he was a difficult interview and that he could get

The second Irishman says, "Another one trying to fool everyone with pious preaching and stupid hats!"
They continue drinking their pints o' Guinness roundly condemning the Vicar and the Rabbi for being hypocrits of their faith's.
Just then their own Catholic Priest knocks on the front door of the brothel and goes inside. "Ah, now dat's sad." says the third Irishman, "One of the girls must have died." •••• As I was nursing my baby, my cousin's six-year-old daughter, Krissy, came into the room. Never having seen anyone breast feed before, she was intrigued and full of all kinds of questions about what I was doing. After mulling over my answers, she remarked, “My mom has some of those, but I don't think she knows how to use them.” •••• Out bicycling one day with my eight-year-old granddaughter, Carolyn, I got a little wistful. “In ten years,” I said, “you'll want to be with your friends and you won't go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now.

feisty with reporters who asked tough questions. As a “Star Trek” groupie since the first episode, I most certainly wasn't going to ask any tough questions because if there was anybody I didn't want mad at me, it was Gene Roddenberry. So we met and in the first nano-second, I knew all was well. He was congenial, affable, serious but not the least bit confrontational. And, most important of all, he wanted to talk about his new series, “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and expressed some concern that the media might gun it down before it aired. So he was trying hard to avoid any negative publicity. We spent about an hour together and Roddenberry answered every one of my questions. It was, up until later when I became single, one of the best hours I ever spent with any human being. Then it got even better when Roddenberry gave me a Star Fleet communications device and made me an honorary member of the USS Enterprise crew. And since that day, I have lived long and prospered.

afternoons were sacred. During that most-holiest of holy times, like all our faithful companions across the country, my brothers and I gathered in front of the old wood-boxed radio that was the featured attraction of our family's living room and turned the dial to 540, WDAY in Fargo. Soon, the magic words spread across the living room, those magic words that included the classic phrase, “... return with us to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when from out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver ...” And then the Lone Ranger galloped into our living room. Always on time, always ready to save us from the variety of bad persons who inhabited the air waves in that glorious era. But times changed. He moved on to television, then the movies, always portrayed by Clayton Moore. And I, now much too sophisticated to return to those thrilling days of yesteryear, went to college, got a job, and took up space in the real world. And even though he was still sort of my personal hero, Moore got ambushed by time and was forced out of his role as the Lone Ranger in the movies and on TV. He still made public appearances as the masked man at a variety of events, from film conventions to gatherings for young people who needed instruction on how to be honest, truthful and just plain old good. Then, in 1981, he got bushwhacked.

That year, Hollywood announced plans for a new movie about the Lone Ranger but Clayton Moore wasn't going to portray him. Instead, the producers boldly announced that they had selected Klinton Spilsbury, who had never portrayed anyone in any entertainment medium. That wasn't the worst part, however. To make certain the public didn't confuse the real Lone Ranger (Clayton Moore) with their sophomoric version (Klinton Spilsbury, who didn't even know how to spell his first name correctly), the movie makers got an injunction against Moore, forbidding him to wear the mask that identified him as the true guardian of justice in the Old West. It was under those circumstances that I met my childhood hero at a youth rally in Fountain Hills, Ca.
Considering that he was well over 60 years of age at the time, he was in remarkable shape and even though he was forced to replace his mask with a pair of dark sunglasses, there was no doubt that he was the Lone Ranger.

The real one. Not some imposter who flunked out of spelling class. But the lack of a mask couldn't diminish the power of that voice that had represented goodness, truth, justice and the American way three times a week those many years before. That voice which echoed across the Old West with honor and dignity. That voice which should be framed and hung on a wall in the Smithsonian Institute.
We talked about the earlier days, when there was some kind of good left in the world because of him, and he expressed disappointment about the attempt to obscure his persona. But his speech to the young people was upbeat without any mention of the new movie and the injustice that had befallen him. A while later, although I felt like a traitor in doing so, I paid six bucks to watch “The Legend of the Lone Ranger” when it reached the local movie houses. It was a wasted evening. The movie stunk. The plot stunk. Most of the writing stunk. And Klinton Spilsbury was worse at acting than he was at spelling. In a way, I felt there was some justice in that. An Afternoon with Joe

The Paper UPDATE: TWO MEN KILLED IN FATAL TRAFFIC COLLISION
On 02-12-21, a white Ford Explorer driven by a 13 year-old girl and her juvenile companion fled from the police after a traffic stop. The girl lost control of her vehicle while making a left turn from eastbound Mission Ave to northbound Ash St. The Explorer slid into the bushes killing two men who were sleeping next to a block wall. The two men have been identified as Mateo Salvador (33) and Sofio Sotelo Torres (51). At the time of the crash, they were believed to be living on the streets in Escondido. We were unable to locate or identify any next of kin for the men.
The police investigators are working with the Juvenile Branch of the District Attorney’s office on all potential criminal charges. These types of cases are extremely complex and it can take some time to analyze evidence in order to support the filing of criminal charges. The DA’s office is responsible for filing all criminal complaints and they will work hand in hand with the Escondido Police traffic investigators. Anyone with information regarding the crash is encouraged to contact Officer Adan Martinez at 760-8394465 or via our tip line listed below.

I have not smoked grass in, probably, 40 years. I left broadcasting in 1982 and ran "Lyle's at Dixon Lake" and "Lyle's at Moonlight Beach" for 27 and 17 years respectively. Don't regret having tried grass . . .but have no desire to try it again. I well remember how little ol' lyle davis, a regular guy, turned into a guy that women began to covet and chase and make suggestive offers to . . . I was still the same guy, but now I was on the radio. I was 'somebody.'"
So, I told Evelyn, that's how it happens. "Entertainers, broadcasters, athletes, they all meet and run with 'the beautiful people' and, suddenly, they're one of the 'beautiful people' . . . to maintain their image they agree to partake in alcoholic sprees . . . and to experiment with marijuana and cocaine. Some survive. Some don't. Alan Wiggins didn't. I did." And so, today, I'm, once again, plain old ordinary lyle . . . but if you're a beautiful woman and want to throw yourself at me . . . I'm very shy . . . a little backward about coming forward, and I’m way too old these days, . . . but I still would be flattered by the attention. But Evelyn’s my special lady.

asked very often: What do Sam Lowe and baseball Hall of Famers Stan Musial, Red Schoendiest and Enos Slaughter all have in common? The answer: Each one was, at one time or another, a teammate of Joe Garagiola.
Naturally, there's an illogical explanation for the association but, in a sense, there's some truth involved. I shall attempt to explain.
Garagiola played major league baseball for nine years, most of the time with the St. Louis Cardinals, but also with the Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Giants. (He once declared that because he played for so many teams, he was little more than “a model for different uniforms.” In 1946, his rookie year, he went 6for-19 in the World Series to help the Cardinals defeat the Boston Red Sox. Musial, Schoendienst and Slaughter were also members of that team.

mere 18 runs.
When we came to bat in the bottom of the first, Garagiola was our leadoff hitter and he lofted a fly ball to left field, where former Cub Billy Williams graciously let it plop in front of him. So, we had a man on with nobody out. Although not enough to scare the Cubs, it might indicate a rally. But I followed wita six-hopper back to the pitcher that led to a double play. We never got another baserunner. Following the example they set in the first inning, the Cubs scored another 18 runs in both the second and third. At that point, everyone involved decided that sitting in a saloon would be a lot more fun than watching old guys run around the bases, so the game was called at the end of three. Garagiola was gracious in defeat. In his post-game analysis, he said we might have held the score down if we had forfeited the game rather than show up .
After retirement from baseball, Garagiola turned to radio and television. He was still announcing Arizona Diamondback games when I was called upon, as part of my duties as a columnist for The Phoenix Gazette, to leave my office and present my body to the public by participating in an athletic competition with the Phoenix Stars.
(The Stars were an assortment of media personalities who were skilled at using hair spray, posing, and inflating their own egos, but with extremely limited athletic abilities. So limited, in fact, that we never won a game during our sixyear existence. We got beat in tag football, basketball, softball, baseball, tiddly-winks, tricycle racing, tennis and dogie-dressing.) On this particular day, we were scheduled to play softball against a team composed of former Chicago Cubs. Due to our poor won-lost record (0-everything), we occasionally attempted to rectify the situation by bringing in a ringer. Garagiola was no longer a television star so he couldn't hurt his image by playing for us, so he agreed to join our team for this one game. It was a noble idea that had never worked before but, in this situation we figured his mere presence might inspire us to at last reach the pinnacle of victory. And so, we took the field as the home team.
The first five ex-Cubs hit home runs. The sixth batter only doubled, and we took that as an indication that they were weakening and we might have a chance.
Then the next four batters homered and we were behind 10-0 in the top of the first inning with nobody out. Mercifully, the game officials had installed a rule that declared a team could only bat around twice in one inning so we escaped by giving up a

The crops are corn and soy beans and a few fields of peas. We do have one potato farmer. I was home for Thanksgiving and needed potatoes. I drove to the potato farm. Not a person in sight. Just a note on the door reading 20 pounds of red potatoes for $4.00. Place your money in the coffee can. As a teenager I walked beans, row after row. All you needed was a hoe and a hat. If you see a weed you removed it. I was too short to work in the corn fields. Work ethics were taught at a young age.

The tornado whistle still blows on the first Wednesday of the month to make sure it still works. The town whistle still blows at 6:00 am, noon and 5:00 pm.

You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house --. Mowing the lawn, putting in a new fence, painting the living room or whatever.
You are hot and sweaty, covered in dust, lawn clippings, dirt or paint. You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit -- shorts with the hole in the crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who-knows-what and an old pair of tennis shoes.
Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realize you need to run to Home Depot to get something to help complete the job. Depending on your age you might do the following:
In your 20's: Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout lane. And you went to school with the pretty girl running the register.
In your 30's: Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with. In your 40's: Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to Home Depot. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The hot young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy.
In your 50's: Stop what you are doing. Put on a hat; wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dog crap in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat. The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember the hat you have on is from Bubba's Bait & Beer Bar and it says, 'I Got Worms.' In your 60's: Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose the dog crap off your shoes. The mirror

Rebuilding Lake Wohlford Dam
Lake Wohlford Dam is an important water storage, flood control and recreational facility that has served Escondido for generations. Restoring storage capacity and making it earthquake-safe is critically important, which is why I introduced AB 692. The dam was originally constructed in 1895 to store water transported via a wooden flume from the San Luis Rey River to Escondido. One of the first rock-fill dams in California, Lake Wohlford Dam was 76 feet high and had a storage capacity of about 3500 acre-feet. But in 1916 the region was struck with one of our frequent droughts. San Diego hired a rain-maker named Charles Hatfield, who ultimately was blamed for creating a disastrous flood that killed dozens of people and caused several local dams to overflow, including Lake Wohlford. To avoid future floods, the dam was reinforced and its height was increased by 28 feet in 1924. But different materials were used, creating the problem we face today. The newer portion of the dam cannot withstand a major earthquake according to seismic tests conduct-
ed in 2007. The water level in Lake Wohlford has been reduced so that the older, earthquake-safe section of the dam is now holding back the lake, though with less storage capacity. The proposed fix involves building a new dam just west of the lake, and breaching the old dam to allow the lake to regain its 6,500 acre-feet storage capacity. All this is very costly. Proposition 1E, the Disaster and Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006, authorized bonds to finance disaster preparedness and flood prevention projects. Unfortunately, legal deadlines for funding passed and a legislative fix became necessary.
That’s where AB 692 comes in. The bill extends those deadlines to June 30, 2028. Restoring Lake Wohlford Dam is essential for our region, and AB 692 will help make that happen. 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.

Back to Purple
We are back to the purple tier in the County of San Diego, in fact we’ve been in purple ever since Governor Newsom rescinded the stay-at home order in California. As you probably know by now, by being in the purple tier this allows some businesses to open, including outdoor dining, hair salons and other services. However, many businesses remain closed, or limited by outdoor operations. So, how do we get to the next tier? I’ve always argued this color-coded system is flawed, especially for a County the size of San Diego. For San Diego County to proceed into the red tier, we would need less than seven people testing positive per 100,000 people. To put that in perspective, if you took two Petco Park’s you would need to have less than seven people testing positive in the entire stadium. Even if we were to get under that threshold, it would only allow restaurants to operate at 25% indoor capacity and gyms to operate at 10%. In order to get into the orange tier, we would need less than four people testing positive per 100,000. The final tier of the color-coded system is yellow, which requires
less than one person testing positive per 100,000. That would only allow indoor dining at 50% capacity and I think, given the current system, is unachievable. I believe Governor Newsom needs to change the tiered system to allow more businesses to reopen. The current structure has always been flawed, yet once again we are back in a purple haze.

Historically Speaking by Tom Morrow
Were They Really The ‘Good ‘Ol Days?’
In today’s fast-paced life, we older folk often long for the way things used to be. It was a slower paced time when we were growing up. Well, maybe.
There’s no question that back in the forties, fifties and sixties life was more predictable. As a youngster, the only real worry I had was “the bomb” and “polio.” Other than that, life was pretty idyllic.
Consider this: in my part of the world (southern Iowa) TV was something you read about in the newspapers. We didn’t get a set until 1953, and then the only reliable output was a snowy screen. The nearest station was in Ames some 130 miles away. VHF signals (channels 2-13) were only reliable up to (maybe) 100 miles. Des Moines, the capital city didn’t have a station until 1956.
For us kids, radio and the movie theater were the only sources of entertainment. The movies were not “first-run” and radio had some really great programs to get your mind working. Kids listened to early morning news for school closures due to snow storms. We stayed glued to the radio before trudging off to school, hoping for a day of freedom from classroom drudgery. When you compare all of today’s technical and informational things against what little we had back when I was growing up, we’ve got it pretty good today. Back then, telephone party lines were commonplace, plenty of coal and coal oil for heating, but no air conditioning in the summer, and some of us had the luxury of an indoor toilet. For cars, new tires were relatively expensive, although “re-treads” on used tires were available for about half the price of a new one. You had to watch where you drove because pot holes and the like could cause breaks in the tires. The new “tubeless” tires were especially prone to breaking. Inner-tube tires were pretty common up through the fifties and into the sixties. In high school I had a job at a Conoco service station. Believe me when I say breaking a tire down off of a wheel was no easy feat. Speaking of service, when a customer came in for gas, we had to wash his or her windshield, check the oil and tire pressure and, in the particular station where I worked, whisk-broom the floor mats. A lot of work for a few gallons of gasoline at .29 cents per, but the station
owner didn’t care because I was working for him at .50 cents an hour while he stood by and smiled.
Long Before TV, after school and Saturday morning radio programming was for us kids. We rushed home from school to hear the latest adventures of “Straight Arrow,” “The Lone Ranger,” “Sergeant Preston of the Yukon,” “Sky King,” and others. They were 15-minute serialized programs and every bit as exciting as those “soap operas” Mom had been listening just a couple of hours earlier. Some of these classics made the transition over to Saturday morning to join Roy, Gene, Hoppy, and Tex for expanded 30-minute segments. We were given special privileges if we became club members. We got secret decoder rings, but we had to eat two boxes of breakfast food and send the box tops along with a dime in to complete the transaction. The wait seemed like forever to arrive in the mail. A number of those after-school radio programs such as “Sergeant Preston,’ “The Lone Ranger,” and “Sky King,” made it to Saturday mornings with expanded 30 minutes presentations.
More sophisticated programming such as “Dragnet,” “Johnny Dollar,” “Lux Playhouse,” “Sam Spade,” “The Whistler,” “Interactome,” “Bob Hope’s show,“Fibber McGee,” “Jack Benny,” and Groucho Marx’ “You Bet Your Life,” were top listening fare. We shared the night with Mom and Dad after news commentary by H.V. Kaltenborn.
Our youthful appetites for cowboy “shoot ‘em up” westerns on TV were somewhat satisfied with old (and, I mean really old) films from the ‘thirties starring the likes of Hoot Gibson, Buck Jones, Harry Carey, Tom Mix, and early John Wayne as “Singing Sandy” or one of the “Three Musquiteers.” “Red Ryder” and the “Durango Kid” came to the Friday and Saturday night at the Lyric Theater. “Red” was played by “Wild Bill” Elliott. The “Durango Kid,” Charles Starrett always seemed to have his great white stallion close by in a cave for quick retrieval to chase the bad guys. Alan “Rocky” Lane, and later Jim Bannon spoiled the “Red Ryder” image some time later by replacing Elliott.
On a local note, in the nineties when he lived in Carlsbad, I got to know Dick Simmons, who played Sergeant Preston on TV after a long career in movies. Sadly, he died Jan. 11, 2003, of Alzheimer's disease in an Oceanside residential home at age 89. I guess we could say the “good ‘ol days” really were good to us. Today’s youth, however, would be bored out of their minds.

Cricket
Did you know that the world’s second most popular sport, next to soccer, can sometimes take days to complete a match? You may know that I am referring to cricket. Although the sport is not popular in North America, it is in most other parts of the world. But how did it all come about?
To be accurate, the origins of cricket are not known, although there is a reference of a similar game being played in Kent, England in the days of King Edward I around 1300. Around 1550 in Guildford, England, a game was played similar to cricket using a bat and ball.
However, the first recorded cricket match took place in Kent, southeast of London, in 1646, and grew wildly popular in England during the 1700s. William Goldwyn published the first description of the game in 1706, and the first “laws of cricket” were set forth in 1744. The world’s first cricket club was formed in the 1760s in Hambledon, England, and the game as it is known today started to take shape in the 1770s. Nobles saw their servants and tenants playing the game, and realized that it was such an entertaining sport that they wanted to play it as well. In addition, the game lent itself to betting. Members of the royalty formed their own teams, and stakes on the matches were exceedingly high. Gradually, the center of the cricket universe became London. A leading London club was the White Conduit in Islington, and was led by George Finch.
regarding covered wickets, the weight of the balls, and protective clothing, among others, but in general, the game has stayed the same. England has always been a powerhouse, naturally, but so has other countries in which the English monarchy has ruled, such as the West Indies and India. All this time, most people in the United States in particular have only a vague idea on how the game is played.
cracks and chips in bats, and it is unclear how much usage the bats had. However, the group of six cricket bats were auctioned for $200. As they were all vintage, most likely the high bidder may very well thought of displaying them rather than actually using them. However, it is somewhat unusual to be the high bidder on a group of six bats. But since cricket items are rarely auctioned, and since cricket items are not typically sold in a United States sporting goods store, it may be that the bidder figured that this was the perfect opportunity to acquire some cricket equipment that could not be obtained easily by some other means. However, now the person had six items when most likely he redly only wanted one or maybe two.
Despite the obscurity from many sports fans across the world, there are collectibles that have sold at auction. For example, cricket shin guards have periodically been auctioned. In a 2008 Heritage auction, a vintage pair of shin guards, each about 22 inches high, which were used as protection, were auctioned. Surprisingly, there were only few bids on the item. The shin guards were auctioned for nearly $360.
A controversy has always centered on the delivery of the ball. By the 1860s some bowlers had experimented with the overarm delivery, although it had been originally outlawed. The underarm and roundarm styles were still practiced in the 1800s, but by World War I, both styles disappeared. By 1878, Australia had fielded an entirely overarm attack, and the rest of world followed suit. Cricket has generally remained the same during the part roughly 150 years. Changes have been made

However, it is possible that when cricket becomes more popular in the United States, and elsewhere, that those six vintage items might indeed become valuable treasures.

Chalupa is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 3-1/2 year old, 15 pound, female, Chihuahua / Dachshund mix (she’s a Chi-Weenie).
Chalupa was living on the street in Imperial Valley with her five puppies. She was taken to a shelter before being transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters) program. She’s shy, but ready to begin her new life now that here babies have been adopted. She needs a quiet home. The $145 adoption fee for Chalupa includes medical exam, spay, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if her new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

Vista • Mayor Judy Ritter
Possible Roaring ‘20s Post-Pa ndemic Forecasters in San Diego County are hopeful and preparing for what could be a second “Roaring ‘20s” after the pandemic has eased. The current global healthcare crisis has been likened to the deadly 1918 influenza epidemic, which was followed by a big uptick in sociability and commerce, as people flocked to local gatherings, parties and concerts and the like. Many of today’s global economists are predicting that humans are yearning for socialization and this will create a similar economic rebound. Despite current financial hardship for many residents, a recent UCLA Anderson forecast predicts mass vaccinations and a release of pent up demand will lead to a boom in economic activity - beginning in the second quarter of 2021 and into 2022. Learn how the City is preparing for a bright economic future at CityofVista.com.
Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara Greetings Escondido,
As you might imagine, there are different groups and individuals who like to talk to me about various issues involving the city. You might think that to talk with them is just something I have to do as the mayor. But the opposite is the truth. I enjoy, even if it is not something I want to hear or an issue I think is misrepresented, talking with folks about the future of our community. One learns a lot, and as importantly, one is shown a side of the issue one might not happen to see. When you are trying to make decisions that are not partisan, but rather in the best interest of the common good and the community, this type of dialogue is essential. I have to admit, I sometimes think at the national level we have stopped listening to each other, and if that is really the case then it’s sad and may cause us to go in the wrong direction. But I can’t affect the national scene, all I can do is try to impact it at the local level. So, I’ll close with the invitation, once again, to send me your thoughts and engage me in dialogue. It’s very much appreciated and important. Stay informed, Be Kind, Remember your neighbor, and Stay safe! Semper Fi, Mac

the popular choice. There are 80 million PC workstations in the USA. A PC workstation today should have Windows10, 4 to 8GB RAM and a CPU score of at least 1000 on Passmark Benchmarks. Nearly all PCs manufactured in the past ten years meet or exceed those requirements.

“Different strokes for different folks.” Part two of two
Last week we began a two part discussion of how the four different PC “form factors” relate to different lifestyles and user patterns. The basic PC “form Factors” are Desktop/Tower, Notebook, AIO (all-in one), and Micro. The two we discussed last week were the AIO and the micro, so today we will cover desktop/tower and notebook PCs. Wherever permanent workstations are required at home, business, government or education, large screens and computing power make Windows PC workstations
WELCOME TO TOMORROW!
1- The basic auto repair shops will disappear. Read on to know why.
2- A petrol/diesel engine has 20,000 individual parts. An electrical motor has 20. Electric cars are sold with lifetime guarantees and are repaired only by dealers. It takes only 10 minutes to remove and replace an electric motor. 3- Faulty electric motors are not repaired in the dealership but are sent to a regional repair shop that repairs them with robots.
4- Your electric motor malfunction light goes on, so you drive up to what looks like a car wash, and your car is towed through while you have a cup of coffee and out comes your car with a new electric motor! away.
5- Petrol pumps will go
6- Street corners will have meters that dispense electricity. Companies will install electrical recharging stations; in fact, they’ve already started in the developed world.
Older Desktop and notebook PCs maintain functional relevance today and for the forseeable future for three reasons. First, Internet based applications have come to dominate usage patterns and older PCs easily handle the fastest Internet speeds. Second, common off-line applications like QuickBooks, Word, Excel and Photoshop are easily handled in real time by older PCs. Third, PCs have become “immortal,” in that they simply don’t wear out. With an inexpensive, lightning fast SSD (solid state drive) replacing the old HDD, the older PC has virtually no moving parts to wear.
use all the speed and power technology can provide. For these we design and build flexible $600 to $4000 AMD Ryzen workstations.
There are around 240 Million notebook PCs in the USA. Notebook (laptop) PCs have the advantage of being self contained and mobile but can also be used as comfortable permanent workstations when coupled with a monitor, mouse and keyboard. For business and student users, notebooks permit work, study and communication from virtually anywhere. Mobile PCs (notebooks) allow home users to stay connected on trips or when in the hospital or convalescing. Notebook PCs contain all the features found on full size desktop PCs and their speed and power match up for all but the highest “power user” applications. Ranging in size from 10 to
17 inch (screen) and weight from 2 to 8 lbs, notebook PCs are suited for all but the most demanding applications.
While notebook PCs are highly versatile, we advise against purchasing “new” low end (under $800) Dell or HP “retail” notebook PCs. They’re made with cheap components, cases and hinges that simply don’t stand up to the wear and tear of normal use. Consider instead buying a new or refurbished “enterprise” (professional) model for better quality and reliability.
That wraps up our discussion on the four main PC form factors. If you are thinking about replacing or adding any style PC stop in and talk to us first. As our old friend Cactus Jack used to say “If we ain’t got it, you sure as hell don’t need it.”
The fact that older PCs can operate as quickly and efficiently as new ones make upgrading an older PC or buying a refurbished PC a smart alternative to buying a new one. At about half the price, “refurbs” are better in quality, reliability and often performance than new “retail” PCs. There are exceptions. Ten percent of business and home users are “Power Users.” They’re gamers, day traders, crypto-currency traders, designers, modelers, and video/sound editors and they can
7- Smart major auto manufacturers have already designated money to start building new plants that build only electric cars.
8-Coal industries will go away. Gasoline/oil companies will go away. Drilling for oil will stop. So say goodbye to OPEC! The middle-east is in trouble.
9- Homes will produce and store more electrical energy during the day then they can use and will sell it back to the grid. The grid stores it and dispense it to industries that are high electricity users. Has anybody seen the Tesla roof? 10- A baby of today will see personal cars only in museums. The FUTURE is approaching faster than most of us can handle. 11- In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they bankrupt. Who would have thought of that ever happening?
12- What happened to Kodak and Polaroid will happen in a lot of industries in the next 5-10 years ... and most people don't see it coming.
845 W. San Marcos Blvd., San Marcos, CA.
13- Did you think in 1998 that 3 years later, you would never take pictures on film again? With today’s smartphones, who even has a camera these days?
14- Yet digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only had 10,000 pixels but followed Moore's law. So as with all exponential technologies, it was a disappointment for a time, before it became way superior and became mainstream in only a few short years. 15- It will now happen again (but much faster) with Artificial Intelligence, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture, and jobs. 16- Forget the book, “Future Shock”, welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution.
17- Software has disrupted and will continue to disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years. 18- UBER is just a software tool, they don't own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in the world! Ask any taxi driver if they saw that coming.
19- Airbnb is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don't own any properties. Ask Hilton Hotels if they saw that coming. 20- Artificial Intelligence: Computers become exponentially better in understanding the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go player in the world, 10 years earlier than expected.
21- In the USA, young lawyers already don't get jobs. Because of IBM, you can get legal advice (so far for right now, the basic stuff) within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by humans. So, if you study law, stop immediately. There will be 90% fewer lawyers in the future, (what a thought!) only omniscient specialists will remain. 22- Watson already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, it’s 4 times more accurate than human nursesl 23- Facebook now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces better than humans. In 2030, computers will

24- Autonomous cars: In 2018 the first self-driving cars were already here. In the next 2 years, the entire industry will start to be disrupted. You won’t want to own a car anymore as you will call a car with your phone, it will show up at your location and drive you to your destination. 25- You will not need to park it, you will pay only for the driven distance and you can be productive while driving. The very young children of today will never get a driver's license and will never own a car. 26- This will change our cities because we will need 9095% fewer cars. We can transform former parking spaces into green parks.
27- About 1.2 million people die each year in car accidents worldwide including distracted or drunk driving. We now have one accident every 60,000 miles; with autonomous driving that will drop to 1 accident in 6 million miles. That will save a million lives plus worldwide each year.
28- Most traditional car companies will doubtless become bankrupt. They will try the evolutionary approach and just build a better car, while tech companies (Tesla, Apple, Google) will do the revolutionary approach and build a computer on wheels. 29- Look at what Volvo is doing right now; no more internal combustion engines in their vehicles as of the 2019 models, using all-electric or hybrid only, with the intent of phasing out hybrid models. 30- Many engineers from Volkswagen and Audi are completely terrified of Tesla and they should be. Look at all the companies offering all-electric vehicles. That was unheard of, only a few years ago.
31- Insurance companies will have massive trouble because, without accidents, the costs will become cheaper. Their car insurance business model will disappear.
32- Real estate will change Because if you can work while you commute, people will abandon their towers to move far
away to more beautiful affordable locations. 33- Electric cars will become mainstream about 2030. Cities will be less noisy because all new cars will run on electricity.
34- Cities will have much cleaner air as well.
35- Electricity will become incredibly cheap and clean. 36- Solar production has been on an exponential curve for 30 years, but you can now see the burgeoning impact. And it’s just getting ramped up.
37- Fossil energy companies are desperately trying to limit access to the grid to prevent competition from home solar installations, but that simply cannot continue - technology will take care of that strategy. 38- Health: The Tricorder X price will be announced this year. There are companies who will build a medical device (called the "Tricorder" from Star Trek) that works with your phone, which takes your retina scan, your blood sample, and you breathe into it. It then analyses 54 bio-markers that will identify nearly any Disease. There are dozens of phone apps out there right now for health.
WELCOME TO TOMORROW – some of it actually arrived a few years ago. And I'm still trying to figure out how to use my cell phone! Also, check this out … The video shows the only factory in North America, located just east of Reno, Nevada. This is how the car comes together. Quite amazing! Also note how few employees there are involved in this assembly process. Note that most of the components for the car are built in house. There are few parts suppliers involved. The car is built all under one roof! Things are a changing! http://www.youtube.com/embed/ 8_lfxPI5ObM?rel= />

where does it go after it leaves the toaster?
Here is a simple experiment that will teach you an important electrical lesson. On a cool, dry day, scuff your feet along a carpet, then reach your hand into a friend's mouth and touch one of his dental fillings.
Did you notice how your friend twitched violently and cried out in pain? This teaches us that electricity can be a very powerful force, but we must never use it to hurt others unless we need to learn an important electrical lesson.
It also teaches us how an electrical circuit works. When you scuff your feet, you picked up batches of "electrons", which are very small objects that carpet manufacturers weave into their carpet so that they will attract dirt. The electrons travel through your bloodstream and collect in your finger, where they form a spark that leaps to your friend's filling, then, travel down to his feet and back into the carpet, thus completing the circuit.

The grass hadn't been cut for weeks, but that didn't seem to bother the fifteen or twenty people wandering the grounds of the old house. A weathered sign lying among the weeds said it had once been part of Daylily Farm. There were still a few daylilies lining the twisting driveway, but nothing was left of the farm itself except for the large hill surrounding the house. I was there among the curious that spring day because of an ad I’d seen in the newspaper. I had come for the auction.
I parked at the Sears Warehouse across the street and climbed the steep driveway that had been hacked out of the side of the hill when Shady Grove Road was widened. At the top, sitting grandly in the shade of a dozen ancient oaks, was the house. Four sets of double doors opened onto a porch that spanned the front of the ground floor. Four dormers peeked from the slate roof on the third floor, and in between, another long porch on the second floor spoke of genteel early morning breakfasts, wicker chairs, and summer lemonade.
Ivy climbed the back walls of the main building and a screened breezeway connected the house to the six-car garage and the living quarters above it. It was easy to imagine a time before automobiles,

could be removed, on a hook hidden behind the door hung a yellow flowered apron. Like someone devastated by a tornado or flood who clutches the single photograph or child's toy to help them remember better days and happier times, it was as if the house was holding tight to that apron -- a reminder of when the kitchen was filled with the aroma of baking on a snowy day and children played in the warmth that was home. As I left, I gently pushed the door back to where it had been, leaving the apron hanging snug against the wall. The big white house never did sell, although it remained standing for much longer than two weeks. Word was that vandals were chased out from time to time. Graffiti marked the walls.

when the garage may have been a stable for horses and carriages.
From the hill I could see for miles, although the view of what had probably been fields of corn and pasture when the house was built was now filled with highways, businesses and congestion. The auctioneer raised his bullhorn, breaking the stillness. "All bids are for the structure only. Dismantle it or bulldoze it into the cellar, I don't care, but in two weeks, it must be gone, down to ground level. The land belongs to the highway department."
With that, he began chanting, his singsong voice rising and falling in the breeze that ruffled the leaves overhead. I looked down at my shoes, damp from the long grass, wanting to be sure he didn't mistake any movement of mine for a bid. Everyone clustered around him just stood there, too. Nobody moved. Nobody bid.
Finally, the auctioneer dropped his bullhorn to his side. "Is anybody interested in this house? Are we going to have a sale today?" I lowered my eyes to the grass again. "What about for a dollar? Surely there's more to be salvaged from this building than that. It has a slate roof. Look at the copper gutters. Now, come on, people. What am I bid?"
Again there was no response. Had everyone come out of curiosity the way I had? Or was removing such an immense building more than anyone wanted to tackle? The auctioneer waited in silence, then sighed. He handed out his business cards and headed down the driveway. The small crowd dispersed.
I walked across the porch and into what had been the large living room. Dirt crunched under my feet, echoing on the wooden floors. The walls in the room had been stripped down to the lath where paneling had once been nailed. The unfinished bricks of the fireplace were laid bare -- whatever had covered them had been pulled away and removed. An oak banister and stairway still curved past the arched window, but in the kitchen, the stove was missing. A musty smell rose from the darkened cellar steps. I looked around at what was left of the house. The once-grand old lady was now tired and desolate. Her innermost being had been exposed and people were eyeing her aging parts rather than seeing the noble whole she once had been.
On my way out of the kitchen, something caught my eye. Although the entire house had been stripped of everything that
Then one night, as I was driving home well after midnight, I saw orange flames leaping high into the darkened sky above the hill. I stopped among the fire trucks and hiked up the driveway. The house was burning -- too far gone to save. Firemen stood guard, keeping the fire contained. I watched as the sparking walls fell inward, one at a time. And I was glad. I didn't like the idea of the house decaying and rotting from the inside, one piece at a time, as if attacked by a human cancer. Instead it went out in a blaze of glory befitting its earlier life. There's no way to know now where the grand white house used to stand. The hill was leveled, the giant oaks cut down, and a 6-lane highway built where it once stood. People needed to get to the new Metro station, and they needed the services of the mail processing facility that was built down the street.
Daylily Farm? Most people have never heard of it. But when I look across Shady Grove Road from the Sears warehouse, I can still see the elegant white house sitting on the top of the hill, overlooking its fields and meadows. The grass is cut regularly, and the daylilies still bloom. The author, right Michele Ivy Davis
