"Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything. From the Interstate, America is all steel guardrails and plastic signs, and every place looks and feels and sounds and smells like every other place." -The Paper - 760.747.7119

Charles Kuralt, On the Road with Charles Kuralt "Life doesn't happen along the interstates. It's against the law." -- William Least Heat Moon, Blue Highways

Time was when a body could motor along the highways and byways of this country and take in some mighty fine scenery. Listen to the song of a meadowlark . . . savor the

fresh aroma of new mown hay . . . hear the lowing of cattle.

Unless you live in a rural area, that’s not very common anymore. Still, it can be done, if a body has a mind to do it.

What say we take a tour of these United States . . . take some of the old highways . . get away from the freeways, or Interstates . . for they are called by different names in

different parts of the country.

For many of us, the decertifying of the famed Route 66 on June 27, 1985, was the moment we made that sometimes woeful transition from the US Numbered Highway System.

Today, someone could go from Chicago to Los Angeles without seeing landmarks like

the Blue Swallow Motel, Roy's Cafe, or Lucille's Service Station. US 66 was replaced by five Interstate numbers in addition to numerous state routes: I-55, I-44, I40, I-15, and I-10.

No single official highway number currently carries traffic between Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA, despite the fact that a single highway number linking those two cities had been a priority since US route planning began in 1925.

Now, over a decade after its de-certification, US 66 is back as "Historic" Route 66.

Business blooms where it had once withered in the Interstate's shadow. People still want to travel that single number, that storied two-lane highway and see what America was like before homogenization.

Let’s take a look at what lies on Route 66 between Chicago and Santa Monica. Perhaps we’ll get lucky and travel

It’s 2,448 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, via the old Route 66.

US-66 is the most famous highway in the US. This routing left Chicago, went through St. Louis, Tulsa, Amarillo and Flagstaff, among some of the larger cities. But it also passed through a lot of smaller hamlets, villages and cities.

Various bypasses were built at many towns along the way, and some towns have as many as 4 different alignments of US-66 in and around them.

The route inspired a song recorded by half the known population of North America, a TV show, movies, and countless books.

Following US-66:

Italy's Heart Beats in Umbria

PANICALE, Umbria — Umbria is comfortably perched in the shade — not the shadow, the shade — of its more renowned neighbor, Tuscany.

While the Etruscans fashioned a culture that became identified as Florentine, Umbria wove its history through such hillside towns as Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto, Perugia, Spello and Todi, all within an hour from this castle-cum-village plunked atop a hill midway between Rome and Florence.

Umbria wraps around most of Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake on the peninsula, on the edge of the Pisa-Florence-Sienna triangle.

Hills quilted with chestnut, oak, olive and grape roll away from its shores and house dozens of villages.

Rancher Honored for Women's History Month - The Valley Center History Museum has selected an historic but little-known rancher to honor during March for Women's History Month. Of nearly 800 Mexican land grants issued in the 1800s, only about 12 went to women.

One of those was Maria Juana de Los Angeles who, in 1845, was granted 2,174 acres in Pauma Valley by Gov. Pio Pico who was said to be either a friend or relative.

She called it Rancho Cuca, raised cattle and built an adobe home.

Over the years, most of the original ranch was sold off to various owners. Today, Cuca Ranch appears on

Joliet, to and through Bloomington-Normal, Springfield and Litchfield, then St. Louis, it was the most famous route in America until the Interstates took over.

Illinois has posted an "Historic US-66" route from Chicago into St. Louis, as have the other states that US66 passed thru. Illinois' Historic Route 66 follows a routing that was US-66 for part of its life.

You start at Jackson and Michigan in Chicago, go west along to Ogden Avenue, then to Harlem Av. US-66 then heads south a mile or so to Joliet Road. US-66 went west from here to Joliet. Joliet is only 44 miles southwest of Chicago. Once a small town flourishing in the Illinois prairie, Joliet now boasts a population of 108,000.

Throughout the years, Chicago's western suburbs have extended their reach to include Joliet - a vibrant and cosmopolitan suburb. After you leave Joliet, expect to go

According to records at the Valley Center Historical Society, Maria Juana married a man named Sovenish and spent the rest of her life at the ranch, willing the property to her daughter, Margarita. The old house gradually disintegrated in the 1880s. Shortly after the turn of the century, the Mendenhall family purchased 1,800 acres and raised cattle. In 1954, Manchester Boddy, who established Wilderness Gardens, bought Cuca, selling it a year later to Col. Irving Salomon.

A development company took over the property in 1957 and sold off sections.

The word "cuca" is said to be either a root or an old Indian chant.

An extensive archive on Cuca is maintained at the History Museum, 29200 Cole Grade Road. For more information, visit vchistory.org or call 760-749-2993.

On a hillside within viewing distance from Perugia is Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, the founder of the religious order that established the string of 21 missions forming the backbone of California.

His remains are housed in the basilica named after him, as are those of St. Clair entombed in the church named after her at the opposite end of town. Both churches are decorated with heart-stirring frescoes, which are everywhere — inside and outside buildings in every community throughout the region.

A small church in Panicale (the town once had seven) houses a famous fresco – The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian. It was painted in 1505

ESCONDIDO POLICE CONDUCTS MINOR DECOY OPERATION

On February 22, the Escondido Police Department conducted a Minor Decoy Operation. Minor Decoy Operations involve minors who work under the direct supervision of department agents and attempt to purchase alcohol from an ABC licensed business. These types of operations are part of a program utilized by ABC and local law enforcement agencies used to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. State law prohibits the furnishing of alcohol to a minor, which is a misdemeanor violation of Business & Professions Code 25658(a). The following results are from Tuesday’s operation: • 5 ABC licensed locations visited • 2 Businesses furnished alcohol to minors and were cited for B&P 25658(a) This project is part of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Minor Decoy/Shoulder Tap Grant Project.

At approximately 12:46 pm, Oceanside Police responded to the call of a plane crash in the field just shy of the Oceanside Municipal Airport located at Foussat Road and the 76 Highway. Two male adults were on board the single-engine Cessna 208B when it went down.

Oceanside Police and Fire Department personnel responded and rendered aid. Both patients on board were transported to local hospitals. One patient was in critical condition and transported via an air ambulance, the other was in moderate condition and taken by ground ambulance.

The Federal Aviation Administration responded to the crash site.

Democrats late in 2020 began to assess what was perceived to be growing disarray in the local Democratic Party. This led to a seach for the means to build a new radius of trust and sense of purpose among local Democrats. The answer appeared to be a new Democratic club. Early in 2021, founding members proceeded to petition for a new and distinctive Democratic club.

Several months ago I was invited to a Grand Opening Meeting of the Hidden Valley Democratic Club, based in Escondido.

Letters to the Editor Re: Lawrence Welk

Thank you, Mr. Gomez, for bringing so many precious memories to the older generations of Escondido and beyond. My parents would not go a week without his TV show.

We had many wonderful dinners at Lawrence Welk Village, especially for their 50th Anniversary. Anacani sang “Happy Birthday” to my father on another occasion, as he sat mesmerized.

I remember how Mr. Welk constanly advertised his Escondido location so well on tv that many people in cold climates picked up and moved here.

on members that the original Escondido Democratic Party seemed to have.

I was very impressed with the mission statement and the attitude presented by the leaders and new members of this club. Very distinguished officers with outstanding minds.

In addition to Bob, the Vice President is Dara Czerwonka, VP/Liaison is Elias Velazquez, Treasurer is Dan Sundquist and Secretary is Linda Stanwood.

This is an excellent goal and I wish them well. If they find candidates even remotely close in talent and qualifications to those who form the leadership, I think they’re gonna give the Escondido Republican Club a real run for the money.

Newspaper people being the nosy types, I agreed to go and showed up in my best bib and tucker.

“The loss of affordable units, coupled with the continuously rising rents, is creating housing instability for thousands of San Diegans across the region,”said David Estrella, director of Housing and Community Development Services at the County Health and Human Services Agency. “It is very important, now more than ever, that the County take significant steps to preserve and create affordable housing opportunities throughout the region. And Alora is a significant step in this effort.”

Their stated goal is to find solid, qualified, level-headed candidates and help them get elected to office.

There’s a New Game in Town:

Route 66 Continued from Page 3

Kansas uses different signs, and also paints "66" shields on the pavement for the few miles it ran there. There’s only 13.2 miles of Old Highway 66 in Kansas . . . but there’s a lot of history there. One such example is just west of Riverton.

Be sure to stop and see Kansas 66's most famous landmarkthe sole remaining Marsh Rainbow Arch bridge just west of the junction of Kansas 66 and Alt 69.

This 1923 beauty was almost lost to short-sighted bureaucrats, but was saved by the fantastic efforts of the Kansas 66 association and friends.

Long a favorite 'hang-out' for the local kids you’ll be tempted to walk across it yourself.

Once into St. Louis you then pass through Springfield, Carthage, Joplin . . .to the Missouri-Kansas State line at Galena.

Traveling through Kansas you’d pass through Galena and Baxter Springs as you next entered Oklahoma.

While in Oklahoma, Route 66 would visit such wide-awake towns as Miami, Afton, Vinita; stop here just long enough to get a hamburger, maybe some fries and a cold drink at the world’s largest McDonalds.

But before you get to Vinita for that all important McDonalds hamburger . . . you’ll pass through Miami, Oklahoma, home of the Impossible Dreams Kennel.

Debra Cannon runs the operation. She’s a single mother of two daughters and she loves animals. Always has. Now she has Yorkies, Schnauzers, Pugs, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians, Papillions and Poodles.

Oh . . . and if you’ve a mind to, you may want to stop by and pay your respects to Ma Barker and her boys. She, the leader of an outlaw gang from the 1930’s, and her progeny are buried at the Williams Timber Hill Cemetery. (That’s just across the road a bit from the Impossible Dreams Kennel.)

Then it’s back on the road to Claremore. . . the big town of Tulsa. . .then on to Sapulpa,

Chandler, Edmond, and Oklahoma City. Ahead of you was Texola . . . which told you Texas was just on the horizon.

Oklahoma has a good chunk of the route as OK-66, and there are still many original US-66 shields and markers along the way in OK. Authentic US-66 markers collect thousands of dollars at antique stores, and the fake ones are grabbed up faster than you can blink.

Once into Texas you’d want to visit Claude. Take a stroll around the town and catch a whiff of its history. Before modern water and sewerage systems, Claude's residents went to the courthouse square for water at the public trough, which was shaded by a cottonwood tree. One early resident recalled that the old wooden courthouse "always smelled of tobacco and disinfectant."

We’re pleased to report it smells better today.

Claude has gained a reputation in the movie industry; three motion pictures, The Sundowners (1960), Hud (1963), and Sunshine Christmas (1977), have been filmed there.

Moving on to Amarillo, then Ontario. You’d get all the way to Glenrio and then look forward to crossing into New Mexico.

At last! You’ve made it.

Didn’t you always want to visit Tucumcari, New Mexico?

After that, look out for Santa Rosa, Romeroville, Santa Fe, Albuquerque . . . keep on going till you hit Lupton. Try to pause for a few minutes and take a side trip to Clovis, New Mexico. Take in the rugged beauty of The "Bluffs of Llano Estacado,” called the Caprock by locals.

Early settlers hauled firewood and cedar post from the caprock for use on the High Plains.

Just west of Lupton you’ll cross into Arizona.

While in Arizona you’ll travel through St. Michaels, Navajo, Winslow, Flagstaff, Peach Springs, then Kingman. While in Arizona, don’t miss visiting the Navajo Nation. Ages of history here . . . fine art work as well.

Visit a hogan, the Navajo’s idea of comfort in the desert.

Take in their art work.

Magnificent. Once you hit Kingman you can almost smell the salty breezes of the Pacific Ocean that is wafting its way to your nostrils from California.

Once in California you have the thrill of traveling through Needles (which is great fun in the summertime when it gets to 110 degrees. Regularly.)

In the Needles area you’ll find elevations range from a low of 500 ft above sea level to well over 7,000 ft at Kingston Peak.

Depending upon the time of year, you can usually view bighorn sheep ascending steep cliffs, or you can always be serenaded at night by the howling coyotes, or enjoy the beauty of the spring wildflower bloom, the spectacular summer thunderstorms and sunsets, the pleasant hiking weather in the fall or the occasional dusting of snow in the winter, you are sure to enjoy your visit. The Mojave Desert is the closest neighbor to Needles.

Daggett, Ludlow, (There used to be t-shirts in the local store

stating; "Ludlow, famous for absolutely nothing." That store is now closed, following an earthquake which destroyed much of the business community in 2000).

Named for William Ludlow in 1883, Ludlow was a water stop for the Central Pacific. Water was hauled in from Newberry Springs by tank cars. As the Route 66 alignment followed the rails, Ludlow became a busy rest stop along the highway. It is no longer very busy.

On to Barstow, Victorville, San Bernardino, San Fernando and . . . wait!

Do I hear music?

Do I hear the sound of surf pounding on the beach?

Is that thick stuff we’re driving through smog?

We must be in Santa Monica.

We’ve made it!

The Local Political Scene

Biggest mistake from politicos is they think people are dumb with short memories. Then they're voted out of office and wonder why.

Three points: 1. Read Escondido Mayor Paul McNamara's indifference to law & order in your Letters to the Editor (2/24/22 issue of The Paper). We wholly agree with the letter writer! How is the public to now trust the Mayor AND the Escondido Police Department? For all the EPD has done for public relations & trust -- swoosh, down the toilet thanks to Mayor Mac. 2.

Great News is that we're blessed with our new Deputy Director of Economic Development for Escondido in the form of Ms. Jennifer Schoeneck! She's Heavensent against Covid-19 hit businesses! Only seven months on the job so far and she's 'wowing' us! She deeply cares and meets with the Downtown Business Association (DBA), the Escondido Chamber of Commerce, etc. all for insightful action on how to best re-energize & serve our business community! As development director who is closely working/monitoring businesses, we need to express gratitude for her relentless work & dedication! We all thank you, Jennifer Schoeneck!

3. To the Editor of The Paper, thanks for allowing our Letters to the Editor express "Our Free Speech/Opinions."

Also, we're looking forward to Mr. Friedrich Gomez hitting the 200th cover story mark! Friedrich has a fiercely-loyal, grassroots army of followers out here from us Americans who still love and honor our flag, national anthem & country.

Emailed from Anthony Logan family, Valley Center & Escondido.

Calling Friederich! Calling Friedrich!

Where's Friedrich Gomez? People are asking out here. Also, is The Paper planning something special for his 200th story? Will it be a public event, when all his fans can show up?

-Maria Elena Contreras, North San Diego County.

Editor’s Note: If I know Friedrich he’s busy researching and writing a new story or two. And, yes. we are planning on a special event recognition when he hits that magic 200 mark. We had big plans but, per his request, we’ll tone it down a bit.

He’s a bit shy.

We Want More Pastors!

Why doesn't The Paper always have either Pastor Richard Huls or Pastor Sam Brumit every week?

You don't have to be religious to heed their good counsel in every-

day life.

Pastor Huls in his "Time to Reflect" (2/3/22 issue) talks about racial tolerance, living peacefully, and questioning ourselves in self-reflection on why we think and do things that are negative. In today's issue (2/24/22)

Pastor Sam Brumit talks about "A solution to Division" which is threatening our country. So you don't have to be religious to read the core message of these two wonderful men.

Please include either Pastor Richard Huls or Pastor Sam Brumit each week. Because their counsel & message is necessary for our survival as a unified country.

Also, please keep your cover stories as with past issues -- exciting and newsworthy. Lately, the last two cover stories (2/17/22) & this week (2/24/22) read more like a Chamber of Commerce generic piece. Yawn.

Terrance Galloway family & friends, Poway, Escondido, San Marcos.

Editor’s Note: The fact is, pastors tend to be very busy tending to their flock. Adding to their workload is not a good way to relieve that pressure.

Also, there are editorial considerations as to available space in each week’s paper to cover the various news events and activites.

As to cover stories? You have to remeber that we write for a broad spectdrum of readers. Not all readers are interested in the same subject(s) so we try to cover a wide area of subject matter.

We learned long ago that you can’t please everyone all the time. We do the best we can.

The last two cover stories: "The Arabia Steamship" and now "This Is Alabama?" are what Hemmingway would call "inexcusable fluff" pieces that even High School student newspapers would have rejected! We honestly tried reading these two cover stories completely through but just couldn't tolerate the sophomoric pablum!

Rejection is painful, but The Paper is truly worthy of being salvaged.

We, your loyal readership, have grown accustomed to a higher standard of news-breaking journalism, investigative reporting, and firstrate exclusive storylines as with Sam Lowe, Cecil Scaglione, and Friedrich Gomez. Mark Twain once quipped, "The saddest thing is when a newspaper editor allows his own brainchild to lower itself to self-prostitution." The Paper should not become a whore to easy

Illegal Marijuana Grows in Our Region

The recreational use of marijuana, legalized by Proposition 64 in 2016, has not eliminated illegal marijuana grow sites in many rural areas throughout the state.

The illicit marijuana market continues to thrive, financed by consumers seeking to avoid taxes imposed on sales at legal dispensaries.

In our own region, huge illegal marijuana farms have been seized over the past few years.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department reported that in 2 years it located 1,576 illegal grows, with 2.5 million plants.

The human toll can be staggering, including murder. At a grow house east of Temecula, seven people were found shot to death in 2020. Sadly, child labor is sometimes used and the sites are often patrolled by armed guards, are frequently booby-trapped, and can contain other hazardous narcotics, including fentanyl.

Rural San Diego County has been heavily impacted by illegal grow sites, and in San Bernardino County, the Sheriff’s office considers marijuana grows to be the biggest quality-of-life issue.

It’s common for investigators to

find dangerous chemicals such as carbofuran, a pesticide banned in the U.S. Five deputies exposed to the pesticide recently had to be hospitalized. Other banned insecticides in use at the grow sites include methamidophos and methyl parathion -- telltale signs of their use include dead wildlife found nearby. Toxic wastes and pesticides leach into the soil and pollute the water. Illegal dams are sometimes built for irrigation, streams have been diverted, and land is unnecessarily cleared, causing erosion. The environmental costs are huge.

Property owners in rural areas need to be vigilant, especially if their property is not tended regularly.

For a variety of public safety and environmental reasons, these illegal grows need to be stamped out now! If you suspect an illegal grow site, call the CalTip hotline at: 888334-2258.

Who’s The Real Enemy?

Tensions in the United States feel like they’re at an all-time high.

Social media only exacerbates the problem. If you spend five minutes on Twitter or Facebook you’ll see a chasm of divisiveness, but the next time you see an argument breaking out, think about who’s causing it. Is it Republicans versus Democrats?

Anti-vax versus pro-vaccine? Or is it a foreign enemy that’s main goal is to create division in this country?

On May 21, 2016, a Facebook page named Heart of Texas organized a rally at the Islamic Da’wah Center in Houston titled “Stop Islamization of Texas.” The account paid to promote the event, which was viewed by about 12,000 people. Another Facebook page named, United Muslims of American organized a counterprotest for the same day titled “Save Islamic Knowledge Rally.” The page was set up to look like a nonprofit and their ad was seen by nearly 3,000 people in Houston. An event like this could be looked at as another example of rising tensions in America. Except for the fact, none of the people who organized the event were Americans, nor did they live in the U.S. Instead, they were created by Russian trolling farms in St.

Petersburg, Russia.

Relevant Magazine, which is a Christian publication, recently revealed a leaked government report that found, 19 of the top 20 Facebook pages for Christians are run by Eastern European troll farms. All of which want to promote outrageous content with the goal of dividing friends, families, and neighbors.

The lesson from all of this? We are all Americans; we want what’s best for our country. The next time you see a clash on social media, take a second and think, who really posted this and what’s their real goal?

The Paper

PROBLEM SOLVED

Q: In early 2020, I bought tickets to the BTS Map of the Soul Tour for June. I used my Chase Visa to make the purchase. After the pandemic started, I canceled this Chase travel card.

This August, Ticketmaster emailed to say the concert scheduled for 14 months ago had officially been canceled and to expect refunds to the card used to purchase within 30 days.

Knowing a refund to my card would not be possible, I contacted Chase bank to confirm they didn't receive a refund for me.

I've reached out to Ticketmaster by email, phone, and Twitter fan support and still have no refund. I get auto responses and referrals back to canned information on refunds that don't apply to me.

Twitter fan support did ask for my address in September, but I still have no refund and they will not respond to any additional questions from me.

I would like a check mailed to me or proof of where they believe I was refunded. -- Barbara Evans, Lexington, Ky. A: This is a refund case with an interesting twist. I think you would have received your ticket refund by now if you hadn't canceled your Chase Visa.

My advocacy team sees problems like this from time to time. It's usually a complicated back-office IT issue or a rigid corporate policy that insists all refunds must be made to the original form of payment (and no exceptions!). But of course, there have to be exceptions, because sometimes customers' circumstances change, as yours did.

(By the way, I'm not going to make fun of you for buying tickets to a BTS concert. My teenagers are horrified when I open my BTS playlist in the car. What's wrong with them?)

Ticketmaster should have offered you some support on this instead of sending you form responses or having bots answer you on Twitter. I loathe the Twitterbots that pretend to be humans and also pretend to care about your case. They are worse than the script-reading, outsourced phone center support workers. At least those phone representatives were human and can recognize when a case fell outside the normal bounds of the support system. Bots can't do that.

I list the names, numbers and email addressess of the <a href="https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/chase-jpmorgan-chasebank/">Chase executives</a> on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.

I'm impressed with the way you kept track of all the paperwork. It's maddening to read your paper trail.

Ticketmaster repeatedly promised you a refund and then, after it assured you that the money was with your credit card, it deleted your tickets from its app, effectively disallowing you from contacting it further about your case.

I reached out to Ticketmaster on your

behalf. A representative contacted you promptly and promised to send you a check in six to eight weeks.

And this time, it did.

TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER

Q: In 2019, I booked an MSC cruise from Italy to Greece for 2020. MSC canceled the cruise in early 2020 and offered me a 125 percent cruise credit or a refund. I asked for a credit.

It's been 17 months, and I have not received the credit yet. I've reached out to my travel agent and the executive contacts for MSC Cruises that you list on your consumer advocacy site. Neither has worked.

I could really use your intervention. I just want the cruise credit they promised me. -- Terry Sutherland, Fredericksburg, Va. A: This is a strange case. Typically, cruise lines are quick to offer a credit but slow on the refunds. And I can honestly say this is the first time a cruise line has dragged its feet (or maybe I should say its anchor) on a future cruise credit.

I reviewed the correspondence between you and MSC. It looks like the company offered you either a refund or a cruise credit. You requested the credit but then nothing happened. You asked politely and MSC apologized for "running a bit behind" on issuing future cruise credits. You asked your travel agent, who apologized for the "unusual delay." Yeah, I would call a 17-month delay unusual too. Very unusual.

For a case like this, my typical advice would have been an appeal to one of the <a href="https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/msc-cruises/">MSC Cruises executives</a> I list on my site, which you did.

Oddly, you didn't get a response.

Usually, when executives receive a plea from a customer who has waited that long, they take action. Then again, we're talking about the cruise industry during the pandemic. There was no cruise industry during the pandemic, so that might explain your case.

I have to applaud you for being so patient. I would have started getting restless after a few weeks. You lasted 17 months! Wow. I think you were right to give MSC a little leeway during the pandemic, especially considering how hard COVID hit the cruise business. But enough is enough. You needed to climb the escalation ladder, first to your agent, then to the cruise line, next to the executives and finally, to me. And you did. And that's

Historically Speaking

by Tom Morrow

The Miracle of Mentioning ‘Kansas’

Since my early days on this planet I’ve always looked to the West for my destiny. From my very first family vacation as a youngster I’ve always wanted to “Follow the Sun.” After arriving in California during the late ‘70s one of my first journalistic triumphs was a series of feature stories I wrote as a reporter for the old Escondido Times-Advocate. My recollections while following the sun in future columns will be told in no particular order. The account I’m relating today began in 1979. You might say it is still a story that is alive and well. Let me explain: Like some 43 years ago the on-going saga of illegal aliens (today known as “undocumented migrants”,) was a constant news story. Historically Speaking, since the mid-1800s migrant workers have come across our border from Mexico to work. Today, it’s a toss-up whether many of the people arrive here to do the jobs we won’t do or posing as mules to feed the pockets of drug cartels.

This story is about a young man who came here to work. I found him toiling on a Fallbrook farm. At that time I didn’t use his real name to tell the 20-year old’s story. The T-A's chief photographer, Dan Rios, accompanied me for the interview. We found (I called him Juan Doe) as he was preparing himself a modest evening meal primarily consisting of vegetables from the soil he worked that day.

His story of traversing the border was typical. He was on his third trip. Juan was using his Dad’s Social Security card. The father was more or less retired, living in Mexico. Juan spoke passible gringo lingo that migrants use on this side of the border. I was curious about Dad’s Social Security card … how did he know the card was valid?

“My father was born in Kansas,” Juan told me.

The story suddenly took a sharp turn into a new direction. If his Dad was born in America that meant the old man was a legal citizen and Juan could be eligible for “green card” residence status.

How did he know Dad was born in Kansas?

The young man walked over to a small box on a shelf and took out a tattered, faded, folded piece of paper. It was, indeed, a 1922 birth certificate issued in Topeka by the state of Kansas.

“My father gave this to me. He said his mother told him never to lose it as it was the most valuable thing she could leave to him. Mi padre didn't know what she meant, but he gave it to me thinking it might help somehow.”

The road ahead was a long one and,, little did I know at the time, was far from easy. For the next year there would be

countless phone calls and letters written to officials in San Diego and Washington, D.C.

Juan returned to Mexico to explain to his father about the birth certificate; he was to go to the Consulate in Tijuana.

He did and in fairly short order received documents identifying the old man as a legal U.S. citizen.

After the father got his citizenship papers, he crossed over and back three times to the U.S. He was amazed at the ease acess was granted by U.S. immigration officers. Obtaining his son’s green card would not be so easy.

That pursuit of the illusive residential green card often was a frustrating process, but eventually achieved. There was a lot of advice, help and plenty of frustration along the way. It finally came down to a short session before a federal immigration judge. What began as an appearance before a grim-looking magistrate quickly transformed into a big smile when told a newspaper reporter was in the courtroom as a witness for the applicant.

It’s been 43 years since those many months took place. With his green card in hand, the young man didn’t waste any time. He became an entrepreneur, owning a food truck to provide sandwiches and snacks for field workers throughout area fields. He eventually operated 12 trucks, employing nearly 20 workers. Juan sold his business a few years back because of health concerns. Now 65, Willebaldo Leon, a.k.a.

Juan Doe, is married with four children, six grandchildren and mostly pleasant memories of those many challenges nearly half century ago. Today he has his own piece of paper designating him a naturalized U.S. citizen.

As for Kansas? “I wouldn’t want to live there … it’s too cold in the winter and hot in the summer,” he laughed.

We hadn’t seen each other for more than a decade when we met last week for lunch. His 96-year old mother has invited me to her 97th birthday party in July and I’ll make every effort then to meet his family.

It, indeed, was a far, far better thing than anything I have done during my many journeys following the Western sun.

resources, tyranny over others, killing of the innocent, fear, disruption of society, and more, all caused by a few who sit in comfortable and high places with their starched suits and uniforms.

There’s a bit of local history story attached to this painting.

On each side of this landmark Renaissance work are two small groups of faceless bystanders watching Roman soldiers fire arrows into the martyr’s body. To make a fresco, the painter puts in the colors while the plaster is still wet. The people in these groups were the patrons of the painting and Il Perugino found out they weren’t going to finish paying him, so he painted their faces after the plaster dried. That’s why they have no faces now.

Il Perugino was summoned by Pope Sixtus IV in 1481 to paint a portion of the Sistine Chapel. His “Charge to Peter” is still on view in the Vatican.

This artistic bent has filtered down to artisans. It’s evident everywhere but you can see it clearly just an hour away in Deruta, the ceramic capital of central Italy. Its shops offer baked and glazed clay in all shapes, sizes, designs and colors.

Gubbio, tucked into Umbria’s northeastern corner at the foot of the Apennines, gives you a look at what medieval life looked like.

People still live in 1,000-year-old houses and work in 1,000-year-old workshops. And they attend outdoor productions at a 2,000-yearold 15,000-seat open-air Roman theater.

Pastor Richard Huls (Retired) Is War Necessary?

Years ago, I had an assignment to write a paper and give a lecture on an aspect of mental illness. My subject was, “War is our greatest mental illness.” I was challenged by a number of high ranking military officers, who said, “War was necessary.”

I suppose for some it is. It stimulates an economy. It creates heroes.

It encourages creativity and inventiveness. It reduces the human population with casualties. It gives the media industry opportunity for movies, books, and shows, and it gives the veterans lots to talk about.

Is all of this enough to justify war?

Today, we see evidence of war loss of life, refugees, property destruction, consumption of

Do those who initiate war see the pain and agony of their fellow human beings? Do they look into the eyes of frightened children, see the bodies of men and women torn apart by bombs and bullets, hear the screams of the wounded, and count the orphans created by their actions? How can any human being become so insensitive to human suffering? It has to be the greatest of all mental illness.

“There has to be justice somewhere sometime, either in this life or the next,” as some have told me. There is the Biblical expression of God, who comes to Cain after he has killed his brother, Abel, “Where is Abel your brother.”

Cain’s reply is, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

“What have you done?” asks God. “The voice of your brother is crying to me from the ground.”

We seek that justice for all those whose innocent blood has been spilt.

The City Council along with the City Manager, City Attorney and Department Heads took a day to participate in a visioning workshop for the city. Basically, answer the question what do we want the city to be like not just tomorrow, but years/generations from now. For those of you who have ever participated in an exercise like this, you know there is always reluctance. Why, because you feel you have a day of work piling up, and not much gets accomplished.

I have to admit, and I think I speak for my colleagues, this workshop went really well. To manage expectations, it is only a first step, but we did tackle some tough questions and we were honest with ourselves about what we think is strong in the city and what we need to work on.

In a world that is often divided, we had a lot of harmony in our goals and aspirations for the community. Additionally, we all benefited from being to talk and listen to each other away from the phone. I ended the day very encouraged about our city’s future.

Stay informed, Be Kind, Remember your neighbor, and stay safe!

The idea behind the proverb is that - “if you use a commodity or resource carefully and without extravagance you will never be in need.” To our parents and grandparents who lived through the hardships of two World Wars and the Great Depression it was more than an abstraction, it was a way of life.

Frugality and thrift were necessary for survival. Every expenditure of money, time or resources was balanced against its benefits. There was little tolerance for frivolity or waste. By association rather than necessity most of our generation grew up with these values hardwired into our worldview. “Waste not, want not” is true, not just for us personally, but for the World in general.

Nome and I have spent our business careers in the fast evolving high tech world where products become technologically obsolete long before they wear out. When a TV, Computer or Betamax is no longer technologically relevant, the responsible thing to do is to recycle it. That provides the opportunity to salvage some raw materials for reuse in new products that would otherwise require expensive and environmentally harmful mining and refining. Recycling as an alternative to adding electronic products to already toxic landfills makes good sense. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just wave a magic wand over our obsolete products and suddenly they would become useful once more? A living example of “Waste not, want not.”

The Appraiser’s Corner BASEBALL MYSTERY: WHERE IS THOMSON’S BASEBALL?

One of baseball’s treasures that have not been absolutely proved to be found is that of the ball that Bobby Thomson of the New York Giants hit on October 3, 1951 to win the National League pennant.

There has been speculation that the ball was indeed kept all these years by a friend of the man who claimed to have caught the ball in the stands that historic day. And that story may well be true.

However, if you indeed feel that you have the ball, or you know someone who thinks that they have that famous ball, then please come forward. And you will need to have a good story to go along with the ball.

Of course, the game between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers on that day in early October 1951 has been termed one of the greatest games ever played. For those people not familiar with the game, those two hated rivals were playing the third and final game of the playoffs to decide who would win the National League pennant. The Dodgers had a 13 ½ game lead over the Giants in mid-August, but the Giants had caught them

on the last day of the season, to force a playoff.

In the third and deciding game the Dodgers had the lead going to the bottom of the ninth. The Dodger pitcher Don Newcombe was taken out of the game and replaced by Ralph Branca. Bobby Thomson, a local New Yorker, had been a solid, not spectacular, player throughout his career. His homerun in the ninth inning to beat the Dodgers at the Polo Grounds that day would forever make him a marked man in baseball history. For that matter, Branca’s place in baseball history would now be remembered as well.

Thomson’s homerun, called the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” is one of the most famous moments in sports history, not just baseball history. Why? Probably because the game was between two teams from New York who disliked each other.

The Giants victory also capped off a dramatic comeback in late summer, and was achieved at the last possible instance. It showed to the American public that underdogs with long odds against them can prevail.

So, where is the ball? Possibly it is still out there, still to be turned in.

Possibly it went the way of old baseballs and was thown away.

Possibly it was recently sold at auc-

With some products, recycling is the best alternative, but nearly all PCs (towers, notebooks and All-inone) manufactured since 2010, are capable of handling Internet and common off-line applications in “real time” for 90% of home, school and business users. The impact on America’s economy and environment of upgrading an existing PC as an alternative to buying a new one is huge. Dell, HP, and Lenovo comprise 80% of the Windows PCs sold in America.

None of them are designed and manufactured in America, most in China. Keeping your existing PC current or buying a refurbished PC keeps your money right here in America where it does the most good and your PC out of the land-

tion. Of course, back in 1951 fans did not have the same craze for memorabilia as they have now.

Who would know that baseballs hit into the stands, even if it meant winning the 1951 National League pennant, would have such historical significance and be worth a fortune? How much is that ball worth today? Oh, only about a million dollars.

Maybe you remember the words of the late Giants’ announcer Russ Hodges when Bobby Thomson’s blast landed in the stands: “The Giants win the pennant, The Giants win the pennant, The Giants win the pennant.”

But where is the ball that was hit into the stands?

fill.

There are powerful American companies that don’t want you to know that your existing computer or a refurb is every bit as capable and much less costly than a new one.

Retailers like Costco, Best Buy and Wal-Mart along with brand marketers like Dell, HP and Lenovo and others like Microsoft, AMD and Intel rely on new PC sales for profits. If you keep your old PC or replace it with a refurb, they lose, China loses and you win.

Next week we’ll discuss “computer myths” and the tactics these corporations use to make you believe you need a new PC.

I asked MSC to review your case. In response, it contacted you and again offered you a choice between a refund and a future cruise credit. This time, you asked for a refund. MSC said it could take up to 60 days to get the vouchers. Finally, almost two years after asking for a credit, you received your money back.

I am flabbergasted by this case. I mean, how much can it take to issue a credit? A few keystrokes, maybe?

This says more about the sad state of the cruise industry during the pandemic -- something to remember if you're thinking of booking a cruise.

To further enhance the aesthetics in front of the mural, Escondido City Council approved funding to create a beautiful mini park that was designed and planted by the City’s Public Works crew.
