Volume 50 - No. 16

My dogs are continually dragging deer bones into the yard. This has gone on pretty much since we lived here and had dogs.
I expected this during hunting season, but not all year round. Sure, some of the bones are old, but some are not. They also drag hides and portions of hides up too. If I'd saved them all, I could have made a goodsized Indian tipi out of them by now. They bring these home too, 12 months out of the year. Obviously, there's a lot of poaching going on around here.
I have never poached an animal out of season, and took a very dim view of those who did. But that was a long time ago, before my city attitude changed and I saw the light about how things work out here in the boondocks.
As I've mentioned before, this is a poor county. Anyone with any money works far away and commutes, like I did. But still there are a great many rural poor around these parts, and there are families that would not have meat on their dinner table without taking a deer now and then when no one is looking. The first summer I lived here I found evidence that someone had shot a deer on the far western edge of my property. I was out wandering around, still learning the place, all the hills and hollers, and how to find my way back to the house from them. Seriously, it wasn't easy at first.
But I came upon a scene in the forest where a deer had obviously been shot. There was a blood trail and drag marks in the leaves and weeds. I followed them until they left my property. The trail continued over the rusty and brokendown old fence. I hopped it and kept following. It ended at the back yard of some neighbors--who I did not know at the time--and it was evident they were the guilty party.

I was furious. I was going to call the sheriff's office and report them, then remembered that under Indiana law, a state DNR Conservation Officer actually has more intrusive power than a sheriff or deputy. They can walk right into your home without a warrant under our law. They cannot look under beds or in closets, they cannot touch any of your electronics or anything else, but they do have the legal right to look in your freezer in the kitchen and take a quick, cur-
sory look around for another freezer, say, a big chest freezer in your basement. They can look in them, see how much deer meat you have on hand, and radio their office to see if you legally bagged two or three deer last season. If they find the meat and you haven't checked in a deer at one of their check-in stations, the meat is confiscated and given to charity and food banks, and your sorry butt is cuffed, stuck in the back of their Jeeps, and hauled off to jail. If you're
The Poacher See Page 2
caught poaching out in the woods by a C.O., they can also confiscate your firearm AND the vehicle you are driving. The judge generally imposes a pretty harsh fine when you're stood up before him, too.
These laws vary a little from state to state in the wild, wild, Midwest, but they all work out about the same way. Deer poaching is a serious offense, and God help you if you're caught shooting at one from inside your car or truck

stopped along the road. They drop a house on you then, and confiscate everything (and you will NOT get any of it back), and they don't put you IN jail, they put you UNDER the jail.
I was gonna teach this guy a lesson about poaching AND trespassing on my land.
But I was still new in these parts. I could look in the phone book and get the number for the sheriff, but couldn't find one for the local Conservation Officer. So I hopped in the truck and drove to the one man I trusted most in this strange new world, my beloved old neighbor Steve Walk. Steve was a hillbilly's hillbilly, born in West Virginia, older than dirt, knew everyone for miles around, and over the years I came to realize he was also one of the most intelligent, wise, and practical men I had ever had the good fortune to meet. When I sat down in his kitchen, he could tell I was angry. I told him what I'd found and where the trail led to. I told him that I was going to ruin that guy's whole year. So--how do I call a C.O. out here? I was going to make life very, very problematic for that trespassing and poaching SOB.

A plane has five passengers on board: Donald Trump, the Pope, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Hillary Clinton, and a ten year old school girl. The plane is about to crash and there are only four parachutes. Dr Fauci, said “I need one. I have to help develop a cure for the global health crisis that is COVID19!” He straps on a parachute and jumps.

Steve quietly listened to my rant, and began to pretend he was looking through some paperwork for the C.O.'s phone number. While he did so, he began talking about folks who where having trouble making ends meet. Had I noticed there were few very "well-to-do" families in this area? He admitted shooting a couple of extra deer himself every season--more than he needed--and simply giving them to folks who were on tough times. "Some o' them folks, yuh know, have kids," he said. "I was hungry when I was a kid sometimes. Guess I never forgot that..." He picked up another stack of papers and began fiddling with them. "Kids will eat anything. You know that. You've raised them yerself. But I think it's kinda pitiful when they don't have no meat in the house." I wasn't aware that my angry facial expression had changed. But Steve took note of it. He knew I wasn't a hard man and that I loved kids.
He handed me an ashtray. "Yer gonna drop that ash on my kitchen floor and get me in trouble with Elsie if you ain't careful," he grinned. Then he pulled out a handwritten number from his old phone book. "Yup, here it is!" He tore off a corner from a newspaper and carefully wrote the number

"I ain't surprised you don't know the family that lives where you followed the blood trail. His name's Tom and his wife is named Katie. Katie got that Alzheimer's disease, yuh know. Tom works odd jobs when his daughter is handy to come over and watch her mom, but she cain't do that all the time. Married, got her own kids now. Tom and Kate are old folks. They pretty much live on Social Security now, 'cept when Tom can find a little work under the table, so to speak. Didja ever notice how much land Tom has? 'Bout a halfacre. Jest enough fer some fruit trees in his front yard and they don't have any back yard to speak of." He laughed. "Hell, YOU'RE their back yard. Didn't ya notice how close yer fence was to their house? I had, but in my anger I'd paid no attention to that fact. Hell, I didn't know how much land they owned. And I didn't care ... at least then. But now I was listening to Steve.

My body posture had even changed. I was no longer angry. I was seeing an impoverished couple, one seriously ill, the other doing his best to care for his wife, and both elderly and dirt poor. The faint stirrings of guilt had even began to enter my mind. I was going to call the law on people like that? What kind of a jerk would do such a thing? Then it hit me--I would. Or at least would have, had I not talked with Steve. "Well, anyhow, here's yer number fer the Conservation Officer. Took me a little while to find it..." Steve pushed the

I talked to a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.
He said, "Up until last week, I still had it all. I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had HDTV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library."I was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even had full medical coverage." I felt sorry for him, so I asked, "What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?" "Oh no, nothing like that," he said. "No, no... I was paroled."

scrap of paper across his kitchen table towards me. I did not pick it up.
I paused for a long moment, then said, "Steve, I was just sitting here thinking. According to the Department of Natural Resources, the deer that cross our land don't belong to us, but actually belong to the state. Is that right?" He nodded quietly.
I looked at the number laying in front of me on his old kitchen table. "There's been a lot of times in my life when I've been an ass, Steve. But I don't think this is going to be one of them. Thanks for talking with me." And I stood up to leave. Following me to his door, Steve tucked the telephone number into my pocket. "Yuh know, one o' these days you might really need one of these guys. Take this home and stick it to that bulletin board you got in yer kitchen. But I think yer doin' the right thing about not using it right now. Tom's just doin' his best, Kent. He don't mean no harm.

Caring for Your Mental Health
These times can be overwhelming. While we love our homes, being forced to stay there for extended periods causes stress, anxiety, and depression. We are worried about our income, our jobs, our kid's education, our health, our future.
So how do we cope with this new and very unreal lifestyle that the coronavirus has forced upon us? Remember, we are all in this together, and help is available. While we must physically isolate ourselves in order to help rein in the virus and “flatten the curve,” it is important to keep in touch with family members, friends and work associates via phone or social media. Staying connected is important and so is staying busy. Home improvement projects, reading and a good workout program help.
Many of us need to learn how to deal with the very real stress we are feeling. Taking care of mental health is just as important as maintaining physical health. We should all try to limit the time spent listening to or reading the news. We need to take care of our bodies, allow time to unwind, and reach out to others – while also maintaining social distancing of course. For more information on Coping with Stress, please visit the CDC website
like you said, them ain't our deer anyways." Then he leaned towards me and said in a stage whisper, " 'Sides, I know you don't mind seein' a guy get one over on the gov'mint now and then either."
I had to laugh, and Steve laughed with me. We bid goodbye, and I did as he said--took the number that I hoped I would never need and tacked it to our bulletin board at home. When my wife noticed it and asked who it was for, I told her. And I told her if I was ever gone and she saw trespassers around the house to call them, THEN call the sheriff's office. Our men and women in the Indiana DNR's law enforcement division, the Conservation Officers, have full police powers and with our location they could respond probably faster than the sheriff's deputies. If they catch a young couple picking your wild flowers, they'll suggest they leave the area--and probably allow the girl to keep the flowers in her hand. But if they catch anyone up to serious mischief on your land, they can be decidedly unfriendly. Indiana is blessed with both good C.O.s and State Police. I think the college

The Pastor
Now a great time to call on Him and trust in Him.
Pastor Sam Brumit Mission 316, San Marcos, CA. How Should I view the Coronavirus?
Many people of faith ask “What should my response be to the virus”? By now (depending on when this is printed), we have had several weeks to contemplate this and here are a few thoughts:
First, it’s not the time to worry. God’s people are to be governed by faith, not fear. Corrie ten Boom once said “Worry doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength”. Hopefully by now, our faith has strengthened up and God’s grace sustains us as we look to Him. Rather than worry, we must remember that God is in control.
Second, it’s a time to serve. Throughout history, believers have always been willing to minister at times like this. It’s what we do. Plagues, pandemics, etc. have always provided opportunities to demonstrate faith to a fearful world. Certainly, we should encourage and help in any way we can. Like Jesus, we are to minister to those who face sickness, sin, and death. He cared for the hurting. Third, it’s time to continue exercising caution. While continuing to serve, we should always exercise caution. Those that lead us have given guidelines and we should set the example and continue to follow them. From washing our hands to sheltering in place, we should be examples to others.
as long as infection continues to be a significant risk, we should exercise wisdom and judgment in all our actions. Finally, share hope.
Don’t neglect to share real hope. (1 Peter 3:15). People are desperately looking for some answers and we should point them to Jesus. Don’t hold back your help and hope in these times of need.

While COVID-19 has brought many unknowns, let’s start with what we do know. San Diego County is under a modified shelter in place. There has been a shift over the past few weeks. When the first restrictions started coming down, we were encouraging people to go outside, but maintain a safe social distance. That has now changed. We are at a crucial moment in our fight against this invisible enemy and staying at home is the best way to defeat COVID-19. Remain at home, unless it’s for essential services such as, work (essential businesses), going to the grocery store, or going for a run/walk.
The County of San Diego is under these orders indefinitely, while the federal government has extended their deadline until at least the end of April. I know how straining this can be on families and especially businesses. We have done an excellent job of slowing down the spread and we need to continue to do so, by remaining indoors, but I’m also eager to get our economy back open. I will continue to take a long look at some of the unintended consequences these restrictions have had on businesses and hopefully reduce some of these closures in the future. We are in this fight together and we must all stay apart, in order to come together. Stay safe and together we

Huge Traffic Jam in Escondido Following Offer of Free 8 lbs of Choice Cut Beef

Valley Parkway before the starting time of noon to 3pm. The line moved slowly throughout the day as many families sought to take advantage of the free food.
California families donaed the 21,500 lbs of beef to needy families in and around Escondido on Saturday, April 11, from noon to 3pm. Escondido police dispatched units for crowd and traffic control early Saturday morning.
Traffic was reportedly backed up from Ash all the way east to Citrus Avenue and at times all four lanes were full of cars waiting to get their share of meat (8 lbs per car).
bunnies and more. In order to keep them safe, and to help you keep your own pets safe during this time, we’d like to share four ways you can make a difference for animals today: Foster a homeless pet Our neighbors throughout San Diego are incredible: In just two weeks, we’ve placed 51% of our animals in foster care. But we know the animals will keep coming in, so registering more foster families will continue to be a top priority. While there is not an immediate need, we are working to build up our reserves of potential foster families. Social distancing creates more time to bond with a new cat, train a new dog and spend time with some of our amazing animals. It’s a win-win situation. Sign up to join our list of fosters. Adopt an animal - Adoptions are still taking place! While COVID-19 has changed how we’re placing pets in new homes, the animals in our care are still looking for their new families. Currently, adopters can take their new family members home under a foster-to-adopt arrangement. And, as usual, it's no problem if you need to bring them back — just tell us what you learned about them while they were in your home. Have a plan for your pet Now is an important time to create a plan for your pets in case of an emergency. The CDC’s COVID-19 guidelines say that if you are sick but able to stay home, the best place for your pet is at home with you. However, we strongly encourage you to follow these steps to create a plan for your pets in case you are no longer able to care for them. Make a donation - The need to protect animals hasn’t stopped. Right now, your support can go twice as far thanks to a $50,000 matching gift from Charles and Carol Baum, which will double donations made to SDHS during the month of April. This challenge gift is in memory of the Baums’ beloved pets, Chelsea, Winston, Sullivan and Jordan, and is providing critical support during this time of need. You can donate online by April 30 to make twice the impact for animals in need. Contact the San Diego Humane Society at 619.299.7012. Escondido Campus - 3500 Burnet Drive, Escondido, CA

Man About Town
I love college football; particularly Nebraska football. Yet I’m predicting that we probably will have neither college or pro football this year. Think about it.
For just one example, Lincoln Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, seats 85,458 but regularly exceeds 90,000 and has sold out a record 375 consecutive games.
Given the COVID19 crisis, is it likely you would attend a home game at Nebraska and possibly be seated next to a stranger? How many patrons at a sold-out Cornhusker game might carry the COVID19 virus? How many patrons would likely cough or sneeze during the game? Would the Huskers continue to sell out the stadium? Or is it more likely there would be a fairly large number of empty seats? Would you be willing to board a jet aircraft with several hundred other passengers and fly back to New Jersey for the Rutgers game? Would you want to grab a plane for Columbus, Ohio for the Ohio State game? Jammed into an airliner with tight seating capacity and full of passengers, many of whom would be likely to cough or sneeze? Or passengers you would likely bump into or rub against as you fetch your luggage from the overhead bin?

The Automobile Man and his Dream
Preston Tucker, born Sept. 21, 1903, is most remembered for his 1948 futuristic Tucker sedan, initially nicknamed the "Tucker Torpedo." The car introduced many features that have since become widely adapted for modern cars.
Tucker grew up near Detroit and was obsessed with automobiles from an early age. During World War II, Tucker became associated with Andrew Jackson Higgins, builder of Liberty ships, PT boats and assault landing craft for the U.S. Navy. Tucker moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, to serve as a Higgins of vice-president Industries, specifically in charge of the Higgins-Tucker Aviation division. This entity produced gun turrets, armament, and engines for Higgins' torpedo boats.
After the war, the public was ready for totally new car designs, but the Big Three Detroit automakers (Ford, General Motors and Chrysler) had not developed any new models since 1941, and none were in a hurry to introduce them. That provided great opportunities for independent automakers like Tucker and Henry J. Kaiser to rapidly produce cars.
Tucker's first design appeared in Science Illustrated magazine in December 1946, showing a futuristic version of the car with a hydraulic drive system. The motoring public became excited about the Tucker.
But, in 1949, production of the Tucker '48 was shut down amidst scandal and controversial accusations of stock fraud. The 1988 movie Tucker: The Man and His Dream, starring Jeff Bridges, is based on Tucker's life surrounding the car's production.
Tucker's specifications for his revolutionary car called for a rear engine, a low-RPM 589 cubic inch engine with hydraulic valves instead of a camshaft, fuel injection, direct-drive torque converters on each rear wheel (instead of a transmission), disc brakes, the location of all instruments within the diameter and reach of the steering wheel, a padded dashboard, and self-sealing tubeless tires.
Also, the design had independent springless suspension, a chassis that protected occupants in a side impact, a roll bar within the roof, a laminated windshield designed to pop out during an accident, and a center "cyclops" headlight which would turn when steering at angles greater than 10 degrees in order to improve visibility around corners during night driving. All of these developments were years ahead of their time.
Having run out of time to develop the 589-cubic-inch engine, Tucker settled on a modified aircraft engine. There’s more than a little evidence the Big Three became alarmed at Tucker’s progress. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was embittered after small automaker Henry J. Kaiser was given millions of dollars in grants towards development of his new Kaiser and Fraizer cars, but reportedly squandered the money. While Tucker took no money from the federal government, SEC kept him under close scrutiny.
An SEC trial began on Oct. 4, 1949, and the factory was closed on the very same day. At that point, only 38 Tucker '48s had been built. A corps of 300 loyal employees returned to the factory (some without pay) and finished assembly of another 13 cars for a total of 51 cars. The SEC contended Tucker never intended to produce a car. Throughout the trial, the SEC report on Tucker was classified as "secret" and even though his attorneys were never allowed to view or read it, it was leaked to the press. The prosecution and defense continued debating until the judge demanded the SEC prosecutors "get down to the meat of the case and start proving the conspiracy charge." Tucker's defense attorneys surprised everyone by refusing to call any witnesses. Defense attorney Daniel Glasser told the court, "It is impossible to present a defense when there has been no offense." Kirby invited the jury to take a ride in one of the eight Tucker '48s parked in front of the courthouse. The verdict came in "not guilty" on all counts.
Despite the outcome of the trial, speculation was whether Tucker genuinely intended to produce a new car and bring it to market, or whether the entire enterprise was a sham. The Tucker Automobile Club of America has amassed more than 400,000 drawings/blueprints, corporate documents, and letters suggesting Tucker was, in fact, planning to mass-produce the Tucker '48. He had hired more than 1,900 employees. Preston Tucker's reputation rebounded after the acquittal. His optimism was remarkable; after the trial was over, he was quoted as saying, "Even Henry Ford failed the first time out."
But it was not to be. Tucker’s assets were auctioned off publicly, but two remaining Tucker '48 cars were given to Tucker, and his mother. He died of lung cancer on Dec. 26, 1956, at the age of 53, and is buried in Flat Rock, Michigan. Today, entrepreneur Elon Musk, builder of the electric-powered Tesla, no doubt understands much of the turmoil Preston Tucker endured.

Stay Active with Virtual Recreation
At the City of San Marcos, we appreciate everything our residents are doing to combat the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). We also understand that staying indoors can be tough, especially with beautiful spring sunshine peeking through the clouds.
The health and safety of our community is our top priority, and it is more important than ever for us to stay engaged, active and connected. That’s why we created a virtual recreation page and video playlist to bring some fun into your home and help kids and adults beat boredom and stay physically and mentally healthy.
Head over to www.san-marcos.net/virtualrec and visit the City’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels @sanmarcoscity to join in the fun. You can find the entire Virtual Recreation Playlist on our YouTube channel. Simply search “City of San Marcos virtual recreation” on YouTube.
Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” Mcnamara Greetings Escondido,
The virus challenge is a dynamic situation, so we should expect things to change and they have. So, it’s important to know what is true and what isn’t. I can’t say this enough – go to the city and county websites for the latest information. And whatever you do, don’t trust social media, there is just too much misinformation and in too many cases wrong information on social media.
I want to make two points. One is that the city is in complete compliance with the county. The other is to give some clarification on our parks. Dixon Lake, Daley Ranch and Lake Wohlford are now completely closed. All park parking lots, play structures, sport areas, and other active recreation areas are closed until further notice. The only permitted activities in our parks are walking, hiking, jogging, and bicycling for members of the public within walking distance of the park. Remember, we will all get through this if we all work together.
Stay informed, Be Kind, Remember your neighbor, and Stay safe!

requirement for either job has a lot to do with that.
Years after this, the last time I saw Steve alive--just barely, dying from cancer--his family had all gathered around him. I'd stayed and talked to him for a long time. We'd joked off and on for years that we were going to build a moonshine still out here somewhere, something he eventually admitted to me he was quite adept at. It was time to say goodbye, and I could not bring myself to do it. Fighting back the tears, I simply walked over to the couch he was sitting on, knelt down, and told him when he "got over this and felt better" he and I would make that damned still, and it would be a good one. He smiled weakly and reminded me, " 'Member, Kent, it takes six bushels o' good corn to make one gallon of 'shine." And then wordlessly, I leaned over and
hugged him. He hugged back, hard. I nodded to his family and managed to keep from crying until I got in my pickup to head for home. I don't know if you've ever had friends like this. I don't know if you're even aware that you do. But treasure them nonetheless, for when they are gone the empty spot they leave will never refill. Kent

Oh yeah, We’re GREEN
We don’t mean GREEN in the sense that we’re innocent or naïve. It’s not our first rodeo and we’ve both been around the block a few times (especially Nome). We’re talking GREEN as in “the environment.” That’s right, we, The Computer Factory, are just about as Green as a business can be. We didn’t start out planning to be the GREENEST business in town; we simply evolved in that direction as we made common sense decisions
Recycling is certainly important and, like most of you, we do it wherever we can. Recycling involves avoiding that one-way trip to a land fill by making sure that used material gets put back into circulation for another cycle of use. Recycling is a great and necessary process but there is a similar process that can be even more effective in keeping our planet GREEN. It’s called “repurposing.”
“Recycling” turns scrap materials into raw materials for use in creating new finished goods. “Repurposing” takes an existing product that is no longer useful for its intended purpose and finds a way to use it in the place of a new product. Repurposing is more “GREEN” because it uses existing products to avoid the processing and manufacturing steps involved in creating a new product. The “recycler” takes old bricks and grinds them up to make new bricks to build his out-house. The “repurposer” simply uses the old bricks to build it. Here at the computer factory we are 90% “repurposers.” We are so GREEN we make Ralph Nader

look like a litterbug. It doesn’t hurt a bit that Nome’s frugal Hoosier upbringing makes her reluctant to toss anything that someday might be considered useful for something or somebody, but that certainly is not the main thrust of our GREEN “repurposing” efforts. What we do is to find a way to make nearly any PC (notebook, tower or AIO) manufactured in the past ten years able to function at least as well as a brand new PC. We do it at a fraction of the cost thereby eliminating the need for one more new PC. For decades the success of the PC
industry has been built on the principles of planned obsolescence. Apple is the master of this technique but their brand loyalty is based on socio/political progressivism, not technology so they remain among planet destroyers that are beyond our reach. A handful of companies led by Microsoft, Lenovo, HP and Dell and their China based manufacturers are the companies in our crosshairs. We wage a lonely guerilla war against Microsoft, the computer companies and China using their own products to deprive them of the profits they need to savage our planet.
