Volume 52 - No. 16

By Jim Winnerman“

“Red Rock Fever” is how residents of Sedona, Arizona, describe the attitude first time visitors have about returning to this high desert town (elevation 4423 feet; population 10,000) two hours north of Phoenix. The inference is that another visit to the spectacular red rock formations surrounding the community is the only remedy for the fever. In my case, a yearly journey back for ten straight years has not yet been a cure.

I go in winter. While many “snowbirds” escape the freezing temperatures, gray skies and snow with visits to Florida, California or other warm destinations, Sedona pulls me back to the desert. A sunny, crystal blue cloudless sky, daily winter temperatures of about 60 degrees, and single digit humidity are the perfect compliment to the scenery.

In 1901 T.C. Schnebly and his wife departed Gorin, Missouri to find someplace in the desert to cure medical problems T. C. was having.

They never got further than Sedona

where they claimed land under the Homestead Act. T.C. established the town and the post office in the back of his house, naming the remote outpost after his wife when this first choice of Schnebly Station was deemed too long for a postal indicia.

The redness of the stunning array of red monoliths is the result of deposits of iron in the rock, which is sandstone. Water seeps into the porous surface, and the result is the rust-colored hue. The red color originated 250 million years ago

when the area was under the sea and what was to become Sedona was the west coast of an emerging continent. As the sea retreated and the land appeared, water and wind erosion of the soft rock created the unusual massive formations that are everywhere you look.

Now, each year more than three million visitors come to hike, mountain bike, enjoy a jeep tour into the wilderness, golf or play tennis among the red rocks, or for an adventure in the sky in an open cockpit biplane or hot air balloon.

Tourists who want to see the landscape from afar have plenty of scenic drive options. Short paved trails lead to Native American ruins, overlooks and several nearby National Monuments.

Hiking

For me the spectacular hiking in perfect weather is the allure. Out of hundreds of trail combinations available, I select those offering a truly southwestern experience with a destination such as a high overlook into a rugged red rock canyon, or an isolated Native American ruin.

Area ruins date from 800 to 1200 when the area was inhabited by a sub-culture of the Anasazi, known as the Sinagua. The dry desert air has preserved many dwellings and they are often nestled in the shadow of a large rocky overhang offering awsome scenery and a perfect spot for lunch before returning to the trailhead.

A favorite is the Fey Canyon trail which follows a dry creek bed.

Covered by a canopy of cottonwood trees the route meanders between two high, hoodoo-lined canyon walls. After about 15 minutes a steep side path off to the right leads to several ruins perched high above the valley and tucked into an overhang that doubles as an arch. At the ruins a close examination of the

walls reveals Native American petroglyphs. The view is spectacular, and the trailhead is only about 20 minutes outside of town.

Returning back and continuing along the main trail, a 75-foot butte in the middle of the trail soon appears with a boulder field at its base. It seems like both the end of the trail and the place to turn around to avoid being crushed by the next rock fall, and most hikers do. But a barely noticeable path skirts the edge of the boulder field.

Continuing on hikers encounter a tough 30 minute, 100-foot climb over craggy cliffs that ends with a steep scramble up onto a ledge in a semicircular box canyon where the low walls of a lonely ruin feature a panoramic view back down the entire length of the red gorge.

A more unusual hike is up Sacred Mountain. About 30 minutes out of town the unimpressive white mound stands alone on the desert floor without the slightest shade.

The short half-hour hike leads up what really is a hill more than a mountain, and at first there seems to be nothing of interest on top. But even after 800 years the ground is still littered with pot shards, a sure sign of Native American inhabitation.

Churchill smiled and said, "You see, if you had married him, you would be the wife of a street sweeper today."

Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."

Churchill then asked his wife what she had had to discuss with a street sweeper for so long. "Ah... he was in love with me a long time ago," she said.

Mrs. Churchill looked at her husband in amazement and said the legendary words: "But no Darling, if I had married him, he would be Prime Minister today."

Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."

Donald Laurin Portis, who died at age 88, donated photos, maps, and historic memorabilia about the local lock-up known officially as Moosa Canyon Prison Camp #38.

The materials are now part of a major permanent exhibition at the History Museum.

Forest Service rangers have no explanation as to why such a hot and dry location was chosen, but they indicate as many as several hundred people once lived on Sacred Mountain in perhaps as many as 100 dwellings. The open end of the courtyard is thought to have been a spot where pots were tossed off the hill as an offering for the spirit gods the Native Americans worshiped.

More difficult hikes can last eight hours and may lead to long stretches along a high ledge with gorgeous views but dangerous cliffs.

The San Quentin Prison in Valley, Center, circa 1945

The prison camp dates to 1940 when state corrections officials began construction of the complex on the west side of town. The following year, some 70 convicted felons from the primary San Quentin Prison in northern California were moved to Valley Center.

Prisoners were assigned to a work detail building a new road that would link San Diego naval yards to March Air Field to the north.

The little-known story of the local prison involves the nation's national defense. It was wartime,

Castle features primitive dwellings several stories high, and nearby Montezuma’s Well is a several hundred foot wide spring lined with ruins along the bank. The Palatki and Honanki ruins are just outside Sedona and accessible after short walks. About 45 minutes from town visitors can walk through the restored Tuzigoot Siganuan ruins and museum.

Sunsets

As the sun begins to set in Sedona, cars make their way up Schnebly Hill Road and onto Airport Mesa.

The reason is not just what occurs in the sky where every hue of cloud from pink to intense red is likely to appear nightly, but also what happens on the ground.

The high desert to the west of Sedona is a flat plain with few trees, and the geography leaves the red rock formations around Sedona exposed to the setting sun.

Depending on how the clouds filter the sun’s rays, the red rocks can turn brilliant shades of reds and oranges that sweep back and forth across the rock surfaces transforming the scene into a giant kaleidoscope. Turn away from the formations that were in shadow and dark one moment, and they may be brilliantly illuminated the next moment until the sun disappears in the western sky, and the colors on the mountains grow dark as if they were hot embers in a dying fire.

New Agers

A different form of red rock fever lures New Age spiritualists to Sedona. New Agers are a subculture believing in such things as meditation, holistic health, channeling, and psychic experience.

Followers are attracted to as many as 20 vortexes in the vicinity, which they feel are centers of concentrated magnetic energy that enhance feelings of spirituality and an appreciation of life.

To assist the New Agers in finding the practitioners and businesses that can best assist them, more than 40 professionals formed the Sedona Metaphysical Spiritual Association in 2003.

The New Age movement, however, may not be so new to Sedona. For thousands of years Native Americans have believed the area to have mystical qualities too.

"There is evidence they lived in villages surrounding what is now Sedona, and only ventured into the area for ceremonial reasons," says Pete Sanders, Jr., a local expert on spirituality and author of You are Psychic,(Ballantine, 1990).

Palomar Health Extends Pay Increases for Nurses and Caregivers Claims Unions Refuse to Negotiate in Good Faith to Prevent Nurse’s Strike

The ongoing negotiations between Palomar Health and the CNA (California Nurses Association) and Healthcare and Caregivers Employees Union (CHEU), have recently reached an impasse.

Palomar Health claims the unions are making unrealistic and dangerous requests dictating and demanding their participation in the hiring process of nurses and caregivers, along with other demands like restrictions on the ability to expand their services.

Palomar Health has agreed to many of the demands of the union including salary increases, economic improvements and important patient care issues.

Following many meetings, negotiations and updates, the Union recently rejected Palomar Health’s last, best and final offer to move forward. Both the CNA and CHEU have canceled the remaining bargaining dates agreed to.

For over a year now, Palomar Health and the unions have been negotiating.

Palomar Health has committed to hundreds of millions of dollars in

wage increases and other improvements, and, Palomar Health says, the Unions continue to demand far more than the organization could possibly afford.

The Palomar Health Board of Directors voted unanimously for Palomar Health to begin paying Registered Nurses and Caregivers their well-deserved salary increases beginning this month. The Board has also authorized to provide staff with the other economic benefits promised during negotiations. The total increase in pay amounts to 1617% on average with compounding over the next four years.

Other demands are simply unacceptable for Palomar Health to agree on, like the Unions wanting to be able to tell the organization who to recruit and requirements on diversity and inclusion that they want to personally control.

“We take our mission to promote health in our community very seriously. The unrealistic demands the unions are trying to incorporate would put significant constraints on our ability to always provide the highest quality of care, which is so important to the work that we do each and every day,” says Diane Hansen, President and CEO of Palomar Health.

MAN DIES IN CAR WASH

Late in the evening on Friday, April 15 2022, the Escondido Police Department received a report of an unresponsive man inside of a selfservice car wash located in the 2100 block of East Valley Parkway.

Officers arrived to find a 56-yearold man trapped between a 2014 Scion XB and a part of the car wash machinery. The preliminary investigation indicated that the man drove into the car wash and for an unknown reason, tried to exit his vehicle. The vehicle then rolled forward, pinning the man between the car and the machinery. It does not appear the car wash had been activated at the time of the collision.

This collision is being investigated

by Traffic Investigator Pete McCollough. Anyone who may have witnessed this incident is encouraged to call Officer McCollough at 760-839-4930.

We are sharing this information because we believe in being as transparent as possible regarding this situation and always in the best interest of our team and our organization,” says Hansen.

Okay . . . I shall tell one story (but not the one you are desperate for me to tell) . .

It happened that I was assigned to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, the home of Brooke Army Hospital, in San Antonio, Texas. I absolutely loved my two years in the service. A dream assignment (Entertainment Director, Brooke Army Hospital) on an Army base that more closely resembled a college campus. Come 4pm we were off duty and changed into civilian clothes. If we wanted to go into San Antonio, we were free to go, as long as we were back in time for the next day's work schedule. If it was the weekend, have fun!

Somehow, I don't remember the circumstance, one of my buddies fixed me up with a blind date.

Da-uve declined.

I don't remember what we did . . . if we went to the movies, or just drove around . . . or what. But, sometime during the night my buddy decided to park and make out with his date.

I've always felt bad about that incident. Nice to know you are the subject of near-adoration . . . but it's really an uncomfortable feeling. I should never, ever have kissed that girl. Even a mercy kiss created expectations of something that wasn't there and never would be.

The evening finally came to a close and we dropped the girls off and I figured that was the end of it.

(Evelyn would never have told you a story like that. She's much too private.)

•••• A memory from four years ago:

Well, here I am with this very nice, but very heavy gal. And she was being nice and . . . well, kind and beneficent man that I am . . . I gave her a "mercy kiss." I didn't want her to feel left out . . . what with all the steamy smooching going on in the front seat. I suppose I gave out four or five "mercy kisses." I don't think we progressed to heavy petting . . . but, remember, this was 64 years ago.

Well! She had somehow gotten the phone number for our barracks and she must have called me every day for a week. I, as politely as I knew how, declined to meet her again.

Made up every excuse I could think of.

"Oh, Da-uve, (A lot of folks in the Army called me Dave, instead of Davis), Ah jess wanna be with you so bad. Ah know we'd have a whole lotta fun . . . cain't you jess see me fer a couple hours tonight."

[Remember, this was Texas. They talk like that down there'.

So. There you have one of my 'secrets.' One of several stories that I've kept buried, I suppose because I figured (rightly so) that the hearer of that story would figure I was some kinda creep for leading that gal on. While that was not my intent, that's pretty much what happened and I've always felt bad about it.

thirty-one years and is a graduate of MIT where he majored in BioMedical Chemistry and Brain Science. He delivers weekly lectures to visitors on why he feels the area can have a powerful spiritual effect on people and how people can find areas of high energy in their own communities.

For a variety of reasons, Sanders believes the entire Sedona area is conducive to stimulating thought, and is not limited to the location of a vortex. He feels the palette of the red and orange rocks, and the thick green vegetation are an influence for the same reasons these colors are used for traffic signals. "Red and orange catch people's attention and get them to slow down, and green is associated with a new beginning and renewal," he says implying that the colors attune one's mind to be more open to spirituality.

The vortex phenomenon quickly becomes apparent to a visitor who may have been unaware of their existence. Almost every store, gallery, restaurant and hotel sell guidebooks that explain the phenomenon and contain maps to the trails to the vortexes. An equal number of stores are almost entirely dedicated to the sale of crystals, New Age tapes and books, aura photos, aura cleansing, past life regressions, psychic readings and other spiritual services.

The vortex sites are not marked, and many tourists who want to visit one use a company specializing in vortex tours. Trips visit two or three vortexes and include instruction on how to access the energy of a vortex for spiritual awakening and higher self discovery.

Spiritualist or not, the grandeur of the scenery in the Sedona area never fails to create a sense of awe in anyone who visits. In fact, the name of Sedona's five-star luxury resort and spa best summaries a visit. It is named Enchantment.

Dealing with the Fentanyl Crisis

Last November the Centers for Disease Control reported over 100,000 overdose deaths in the United States, a new record. This represented a 30% increase over the previous year, a number driven by fentanyl and related substances. 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin, fentanyl is a deadly scourge.

Fentanyl is often found in counterfeit pills that look like legitimate medication -- one kilogram can contain 500,000 lethal doses.

Since 2013, China has been a major source of fentanyl-related substances and the chemicals from which they are produced.

The drugs are often manufactured in Mexico using Chinese components and smuggled across the Southwest border. Fentanyl seizures along the border increased by 89% from January 2019 through December 2020.

The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s office reported 462 accidental overdose deaths attributed to fentanyl in 2020, compared to 152 in 2019. Of these, 13% were high school and college age students. All county regions have experienced an increase in fentanyl deaths, with the North Inland region experiencing the largest increase.

This session I am co-authoring legislation establishing an AntiFentanyl Abuse Task Force to collect data on fentanyl abuse in California. The Task Force will examine collaboration between government and nongovernmental organizations for protecting fentanyl victims, and will analyze existing state criminal statutes for their adequacy in addressing fentanyl abuse. Other legislation will require the Department of Public Health to create a pilot project to provide drugs like naloxone, an FDA approved drug that counteracts overdoses. Overdose response teams will also be created to combat this growing crisis in our local communities.

So far, due to opposition from the majority in Sacramento, efforts to increase penalties for fentanyl trafficking have failed. Even so, better treatment for victims as well as increased penalties for traffickers are absolute necessities. We must act now!

Fentanyl Crisis

Last month, I hosted a fentanyl policy roundtable that included updates from DEA Narcotics officials, Homeland Security Investigators, The U.S. Attorney’s office, California policymakers, and medical professionals about the impacts of fentanyl.

The tragic stories of fentanyl overdoses are becoming all too common, with heartbreaking stories of kids dying because they bought prescription pills like Adderall or Xanax and they turned out to be laced with fentanyl.

The meeting showed we all have a lot of work to do to bring awareness to the deadly effects of fentanyl.

Fentanyl deaths have increased 873% over 5 years, with over 800 deaths in San Diego County last year.

One of the biggest takeaways I had from the discussions is it's closer than most people know. It's in our schools, it's touching our friends and families, no matter the age. Last year, the leading cause of death in the United States for 18-45-yearolds was fentanyl.

Across the United States, there has been a wave of deaths among teens and young adults who bought what

they believed to be a prescription pill — like Adderall or Xanax — that turned out to be a counterfeit pill containing a deadly dose of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid a hundred times more potent than morphine.

Many of these pills are being traded openly via social media and have been linked to the sale of fentanyllaced counterfeit pills that have caused the deaths of teens and young adults.

It's time we find a solution, which is why I wanted to bring different entities into the same room to discuss ways we can make a difference.

Many interesting ideas were discussed including, increased border security, contact tracing for individuals who are given fentanyl, and harsher penalties for dealers.

Last year, I led the effort to direct the County to work with the educational community, and other stakeholders to develop a substance use prevention campaign, that focuses on fentanyl awareness. While it's a start, we know we have a long way to go. I will keep you updated.

The Paper

PROBLEM SOLVED

Q: I paid $689 for two seats to a Jerry Seinfeld show in Atlantic City through VividSeats in 2020. The show was originally scheduled for April, but because of the pandemic, they rescheduled for August and finally July 2021. That's over 18 months after we bought the tickets!

I had planned to travel to Atlantic City in July 2020, but a couple of days before, I learned from the venue that they had canceled the show. The hotel gave me a refund for our room even though it was too close to the show date. But I could not contact anyone at Vivid Seats.

I tried emailing and calling. There was absolutely no way to talk to a human. I couldn't even find out if they offered a credit or refund.

I checked Elliott Advocacy for executive contacts but couldn't find any. I know my next step wasn't what you advise, but I went to Discover for relief by filing a credit card dispute.

After all, VividSeats didn't deliver any product and charged us nearly $700.

Almost six months later, in December 2021, Discover found that the VividSeats charge was valid. The dispute resolution amounted to Discover asking VividSeats for details and VividSeats sending them a copy of the credit card transaction.

VividSeats then sent me an email saying we had a credit (something they had never said in all those months). While a credit would seem reasonable under normal circumstances, I feel we should receive a refund. It's been two years, and it's not clear that we will be able to use the credit in 2022 because of the continuing pandemic. Can you help? -Douglas Himberger, Palmyra, VA A: I think Vivid Seats should have offered a full refund after Seinfeld canceled his first show.

But that's not what the terms of your purchase say. To get a refund, your show must be canceled, and Vivid Seats gets to determine if something is canceled. If it's just postponed or rescheduled, tickets "will not be refunded or otherwise compensated

by Vivid Seats except in jurisdictions where it is required by law." So you have to live in California to get your money back.

By the way, these were the terms of your purchase when you bought your tickets. Vivid Seats didn't update them to make it harder to get a refund. I've written about some operators who did that during the pandemic, which is the worst kind of customer disservice. Vivid Seats was just following its rules.

I'm unhappy about the way Vivid Seats and other ticket sellers have been handling their pandemic events.

I've written several stories about artists who kept postponing their shows, hoping to keep the ticket money. Ticket sellers and venues were often their accomplices. They played word games, saying they were

Page 7

simply "rescheduling" their performances. In fact, they were canceling their shows and then scheduling new ones, but forcing everyone to attend the new show even if it wasn't convenient or they didn't feel safe.

Under these circumstances, I think a credit card dispute is absolutely fine.

Vivid Seats sold you a show on a specific day, but Seinfeld postponed the show several times. That's not funny. Discover should have advocated for you instead of rolling over.

I contacted Vivid Seats on your behalf. The company reviewed your repeatedly postponed show and agreed to refund your tickets. © 2022 Christopher Elliott.

Historically Speaking

by Tom Morrow

The Cost of Living After eight Decades

The cost of living is sky rocketing and there doesn’t appear to have any limits.

Looking back over eight decades prices were pennies on the dollar compared to today.

To me, something of significance happened 83 years ago this month – I made my debut. At that year of 1939 the world was coming out of the Great Depression and the industrial nations were gearing up for what soon would be a second world war.

Q: Lufthansa canceled a flight for my wife and me from Orlando to Budapest via Frankfurt last year. The airline promised a full refund. Four months later, I received a refund for one of the tickets.

I've been trying to get a refund for the second ticket. I have made numerous phone calls and sent emails. I've tried to talk to a superior and keep getting cut off. Lufthansa owes me $1,583. A representative told me the case had been "archived," and I've heard nothing further. Can you help? -- Raymond Menna, The Villages, Fla.

A: I'm sorry Lufthansa canceled your flight. Under Department of Transportation rules, you should have received a refund to the original form of payment within a week -not four months later. I should note the timeline on this case. Lufthansa canceled your flight in April 2021, and you received your first refund in August. So this isn't one of those early pandemic cases where the entire world was turned upsidedown.

By the way, "archiving" a complaint is just a polite way of saying they're done with you, and no one will respond to your questions.

But your case is a little more complicated. It looks like you booked these flights through Orbitz. Lufthansa didn't cancel your original flights, it made a schedule change. Under EU consumer protection rules, you could have received a refund or a credit.

You chose a credit. Lufthansa then canceled your next flight.

That means Lufthansa needed to refund your ticket credit rather than issue a full refund. Instead, it appears Lufthansa refunded one of your tickets, but not the other. As I said, it's a little confusing.

A case like yours is an important

Coffee was a nickel … so was a bottle of Coke or Pepsi.

At the grocery store a dollar would buy enough food to last a week for a family of four. A 10-pound bag of potatoes was .18 cents; 10-pounds of sugar .49 cents. A 303 can of pork & beans was a nickel; chuck beef roast was .15 cents per pound and a nice Tbone steak was .22 cents a pound.

Campbell’s soup was four cans for .25 cents. Fresh peas in the summer were .04 cents per pound. Cabbage .03 cents per pound.

Swiss cheese was .23 cents per pound.

Oranges were .25 cents for two dozen.

And, 1939 was a very big year for movies. That year is considered one of the best of the 20th century. Top films included: “The Wizard of Oz,” “Gone With The Wind,” “Gunga Din,” “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” “Destry Rides Again,” and “Stagecoach.”

Today, all of these films are considered classics.

The popular female film stars of 1939 were: Ingrid Bergman, Claudette Colbert, Olivia de Haviland, Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Katharine Hepburn, Hedy Lamar, Vivien Leigh, Myrna Loy, Ginger Rogers, Barbara Stanwyck, Irene Dunne, Jean Arthur, and Lana Turner.

Clark Gable, John Wayne, Fredric March, James Stewart, Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, were among the leading men on the silver screen. Movie admission ticket were an average of .10 cents for young people, and .25 cents for adults.

Little Tommy Morrow, 1940

In my hometown life represented the typical farming community in the Middle West. My father owned a Sinclair Oil Co. station. Gas was .11 cents to .15 cents per gallon depending whether you bought regular or premium (“Ethyl).” I got my Iowa driver’s license in 1954 when gas was .29,9 cents per gallon. Cheapest I ever filled up with was .13.9 cents per gallon in Kansas City where there was a constant “Gas War.”

In 1938, Dad bought our family twobedroom home for $2,000. Our car was a 1936 Chevrolet. Driving a car back 80 years ago was pretty inexpensive compared to today. You could buy a new Ford for less than $700; A new Plymouth Road King sold for $685.

New Firestone tires were $4 each.

General Motors introduced the revolutionary “Hydra-Matic” (automatic) transmission which was an option for the new 1940 Oldsmobile. (a radio and heater were optional on most new cars, adding $50 to the total).

Now you might think these prices were ridiculously low, but when you realize the “minimum wage”in 1939 was .30 cents per hour, things begin to come in perspective. The median yearly earnings for the average American worker was $1,730.

Compared to today’s prices, eating was a pretty good deal. In my hometown hamburgers were .10 cents; a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich was .15 cents. A roast beef sandwich with potatoes and gravy, along with a small portion of green beans, was .25 cents.

Lou Gehrig was the nation’s most popular celebrity. He would bow out as the Yankees’ first-basemen, declaring during his retirement speech in Yankee Stadium he considered himself “…the luckiest man on the face of the earth.”

Agatha Christie’s “And Then There were none,” and John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” were best-selling books.

That year Amelia Earhart was officially declared dead after being lost in her 1937 attempt at circumnavigating the globe.

The World Fair opened in New York City where many of the “marvel” products of tomorrow were showcased including television, an automatic washing machine, and a kitchen that featured an automatic dishwasher.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving Day officially to the fourth Thursday of November in order to give merchants a longer period to sell Christmas goods, thus increasing the opportunity for merchants to increase profits and us kids to beg Santa for toys.

Girl Scouts introduced the popular thin mint cookies, and Carl Stotz founded the Little League Baseball for youngsters based in Williamsport, PA. Life expectancy was 62.1 years for males; 65.4 years for females. I guess at 83, I’m way ahead in this game of life.

The scientific and technical advancement made during the last 80 years surpasses any and all progress in the history of mankind. The last decade has brought more innovations and improved lifestyle than at any time in history. A smart phone couldn’t be dreamt about, however, Dick Tracey did have a two-way wrist-watch for communications. (If you have to ask then you not old enough to remember that popular comic strip.

SDBG has 15 gardens that represent different regions of the world, 12 demonstration gardens where visitors can learn in a hands-on setting, and the largest public bamboo collection in North America.

SDBG also has three interactive children’s gardens, including its flagship, one-acre Hamilton

Children’s Garden, the largest kids’ garden on the West Coast. We are also thrilled to share that as part of SDBG’s effort to educate the community, they are now a part of the Museums for All program, which allows visitors who receive food assistance to gain reduced admission (only one dollar at the door per person, for up to four people) to SDBG.

There's no place like home! But sometimes the unexpected happens and people are faced with the difficult decision to give up their pet. To help ease the transition for affected animals, our rehoming resources give families the tools they need to find a new home for their pet.

Our rehoming tools are free to use for pet owners, fosters and adopters so animals stay in homes and out of shelters — which can reduce stress for people and pets alike. In just a few simple steps using Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet (for cats and dogs) or Home To Home (for all pets), animals needing a new home can get the best of both worlds: their current family can help them find the best fit, and their adopter or foster family can learn all about their personality and preferences firsthand. It’s a win-win for pets and their humans!

To learn more, see our rehoming resources.

And when you adopt a pet through one of our rehoming partners, you’re not just helping an animal in need — you’re also supporting a person who may be facing a very difficult situation. Plus, you help San Diego Humane Society by freeing up resources for animals who do need to come to the shelter.

Community Support Services

San Diego Humane Society offers several programs to support pet families in our community, including our low-cost vaccination and microchip clinics, community pet pantry, eviction and housing support and more.

The cable guy said, “There’s so much hate in the world. What’s wrong with us?”

That’s when the kid stopped on a channel that ran a news story we both desperately needed to see. “...Recently,” the reporter said, “a pancake fundraiser raised 6,500 dollars for the family of Jeremy Doroscha…”

The story was about Jeremy Doroscha, who lived in Eaton Township, Michigan. He was a farmer, a hot-air balloonist, father of three, and his smile was brilliant. About a month ago an explosion occurred at the 43-year-old’s house, throwing him from the home. The home went up in an inferno.

Immediately, Jeremy hobbled to his feet, suffering from secondand third-degree burns that covered 60 percent of his body. He limped inside the flaming house to save his 4-year-old daughter, Aubrey. Three days later, he died in a Grand Rapids hospital, and his daughter lives.

The newsroom provided a new front page, and the same photo running on your cover this week, is the same image I did the separations on.

That was a long time ago.

One more for you, Robert Abraham, who worked here at AWO (Advanced Web Offset) for 18 years, lost his grandfather on that crash.

His grandfather was a pilot for PSA, and was just in a jump seat, coming home to San Deigo.

Thanks for remembering stories like this, we can’t forget the men and women we lost that day.

More Trivia

Having been an avid fan of trivia question and answer shows, and had a lot of respect of the participants involved and found them to be very intelligent and mostly well dressed .However I watched a young lady the other night very pretty nicely dressed and very smart .But what brought my attention was a supposed decorative item protruding from her nose. Had she had red or green hair or tattoos displayed over her body or even safety pins attached to her eyebrows I could have understood, but she didn't.

Meet Cinnamon Stick!

Cinnamon Stick came in with several other rabbits and may do best being adopted with a friend. French Angora rabbits are considered large breed rabbits and can weigh up to 10.5lbs. They also require daily brushings to keep their long, wooly fur looking its best!

Their coat can reach up to 6inches in length, but should ideally be kept at about 2-3inches, which means their coat needs to be sheared 3-4 times a year.

Did you know that rabbits are easy to litter box train? Well, they are!

Contrary to popular belief, rabbits are not cage animals so they need a lot of space! Cinnamon Stick will need a large exercise pen to call home as well as plenty of daily time to explore his home, and hang with his humans.

Cinnamon Stick is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3500 Burnet Drive. To learn more about making him part of your family, please visit sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-2997012.

Lyle, you're at the "Top of Your Game" with Cecil Scaglione's PSA cover story! And don't keep Cecil in the dugout -- tap his talents more often! Hey, Mate, are ye angry at your genius scribbler Sean Dietrich?

LMAO, cause in your April 7 issue of The Paper you cut-off half of Sean Dietrich's head in his photo! Like Scaglione, "Sean of the South" keeps The Paper flying! Editor’s Note: No, that is the publicity photo that Sean provides us. I, like you, would like to see a full head shot photo of him; he’s a rather handsome lad . . . but he’s in charge of his publicity photos, not me.

And are ye mad at your young gunslinger Friedrich Gomez? Cause ye stopped cold, in running his photo at the end of his ground-breaking stories! Ye got first-rate writers, Lyle, which means you're blessed aplenty. Is it planned, or coincidence, that your top guns all share a common trait -they all wear hats in their photos!

Hydration stations in San Marcos

The City of San Marcos and the Vallecitos Water District are committed to the reduction of single-use plastics in our community. That’s why we’ve teamed up to offer new hydration stations in local parks to encourage the use of refilling reusable bottles during outdoor activities instead of reaching for bottled water.

Recently, the San Marcos City Council issued a proclamation recognizing the ongoing partnership between the Vallecitos Water District and the City. As a result, you’ll find five new hydration stations in City parks. The hydration stations feature a quick-fill mechanism to encourage reusable water bottle use, a regular water fountain spout and a dog bowl. Vallecitos worked with the City’s Public Works team to install hydration stations at Mission Sports Field Park, Woodland Park, Bradley Park, Connors Park and Buelow Park. Many thanks to the San Diego County Water Authority and Metropolitan Water District of Southern California for providing $25,000 in grant funding to cover the cost of the stations and signage.

Vista • Mayor Judy Ritter

One Mile Revitaliz ed. One Year Later

The City of Vista’s project to reinvigorate the historic heart of its community, Paseo Santa Fe, has been open for one year, and the final construction to complete a segment of the third roundabout at S. Santa Fe Avenue and Pala Vista Drive – is currently scheduled to be completed later this spring. This is a monumental project for Vista. Twenty years of planning, visioning, and engagement with our businesses and greater community have come to fruition along this downtown corridor. Since the newly improved road opened one year ago, we have witnessed a resurgence of the area, and that is tremendous to see. It’s part of our heritage, and once again, it’s a destination where we can gather, shop, dine and enjoy a slice of Vista together.

Brooklyn Cont. from Page 10

The screen showed Jeremy’s photo, holding his small blond daughter in his arms. It showed the child’s beautiful face, and the smile of a proud dad.

Finally the cable guy turned the television off.

We were both silent for a little while, thinking of Jeremy. And I felt my heart move sideways when I thought of the vast depth of love that exists inside a dad’s heart. Because even though sometimes it seems like humankind is always trying to deface, disfigure or demolish one another, then you have Jeremy Doroscha.

Then the cable guy’s phone dinged.

He covered his mouth as he read an incoming text.

“My sister’s safe,” he announced.

“Thank God.” May God bless Brooklyn.

Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara Greetings Escondido,

As you might remember, the council did a one-day visioning workshop not to long ago. I think we were all a little bit surprised by the harmony we had that day. This past week we did a half day follow-up to make the vision a bit more granular. Again, we were all surprised how well the day went.

Now we have a very high 5-0 vote rate, well into the 90’s percentile. But we do have some strong differences on a few topics. And as appropriate, we have public discourse over those differences because we all want Escondido to prosper, be safe, etc. But what really impressed me was the civility in our discussion especially when we talked about the topics that we disagree on.

We all left thinking about the others’ points, trying to understand them and find middle ground if it existed. We didn’t leave thinking about someone’s bad behavior. When I see public discourse in other venues, I think a little civility would go a long way.

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

I Used To Be A Normal Person …

I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me privileged, a racist, and responsible for slavery.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget, and support myself.

I went to Grammar School, and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged".

I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

I am older than 60, making me a useless eater who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat.

I think and I reason, and I doubt most of what the ‘main stream’ media tells me, which makes me a Right-wing conspiracy nut.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, making me a xenophobe.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair reward according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an

anti-socialist.

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.

I believe in the defense and protection of my nation for and by all citizens, now making me a militant.

I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand during our National Anthem - so I must be a racist.

Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!

Funny - it all took place over the last 7 or 8 years!

Extra chairs were needed for the large public turnout at the Vista Planning Commission meeting.

Residents voiced concerns on plans to erect high-rise buildings and the increased traffic it would bring into Vista neighborhoods.

The City of Vista limits maximum building height at 35 feet in the downtown area. However, investors are exploiting a legal loophole that will allow them to erect buildings 52 feet high. To a wild outburst of cheers and applause, Commissioner John Aguilera refuted plans for higher buildings by asking: "Where do we draw the line on that?"

Do you think that you are too old to become the founder of the most successful fast food operation in the world, and even the owner of a major league team?

Well, one person fit that description.

If you haven’t figured it out, it’s Ray Kroc. Yes, that Ray Kroc, who started McDonald’s (the first one was in San Bernardino, California), and later filled a lifelong dream by buying a team. It was unfortunate that Kroc passed on just months before his San Diego Padres played in the 1984 World Series.

But it wasn’t until a chance meeting in 1954, with the McDonald brothers did his fortunes change. Kroc was selling Prime Castle MultiMixers when he was visiting a San Bernardino store that had purchased eight of the mixers. When he saw how the mixers were being used, he was convinced that the small store, McDonald’s, had the potential to expand throughout the United States. He quit his mixer job and joined the McDonald’s team.

However, the McDonald brothers did not have the same drive and vision as did Kroc, which frustrated him. He went on to buy out the two brothers in 1961 for $2.7 million, a pretty fair sum of money in 1961.

That sum of money was enough to pay each of the two brothers a mil-

We encourage our customers to bring in their old PC for a trade-in or upgrade estimate when planning to upgrade to a new or refurbished workstation, notebook or All-in-One. Sometimes customers decide to upgrade the old instead of buying a newer PC. That’s just fine with us.

Helping our customers make good decisions is what we do best.

Most of the computers offered as trade-ins have some value. Any PC that is too decrepit to be worth upgrading gets sent to the Veterans Green Project here in San Marcos. They strip them down and sell the electronic scrap to support their veterans training programs.

In order to have trade in value, an older computer must meet certain minimum standards. It must have been born with or upgraded to Windows 7 or 8 in order to qualify for an upgrade to Windows 10. The CPU must score 1000 or higher on Passmark Benchmarks. Nearly all Intel i3, i5 and i7 CPUs and many of the Core 2 meet this standard as do most of the multi core AMD CPUs. A trade-in that qualifies for “refurbing” will get a new SSD or a certified HDD and a fresh Windows 10 or 11 OS. The

lion dollars after taxes. Even through the negotiations between the parties had its hiccups, Kroc now had his company, as well as the name.

And you know the rest, or maybe you think you do.

But, did you know that when Kroc first started on his own that he hired someone to run his office. You might call her a Jill-of-all-trades.

She was offered either $100 a week or 10 percent of the business. Well, at that time, $100 a week was a fairly paltry sum, but she chose the ownership choice instead. Very smart on her part. Her part is now worth well of over a half billion, not million, billion dollars today.

But Ray Kroc was not done.

There’s an old saying that “The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys” Well, there is no better example than with Ray Kroc.

Kroc was even quoted as saying that “There’s more fortune in hamburgers than baseball.” How true.

He was never at a loss of words.

During the first home game as owner of the Padres, April 9, 1974, he took the public address microphone and told the 39,000 fans that he had never seen such stupid ballplaying in his life. He might

Putting aside Big Macs and homeruns, there is even Ray Kroc memorabilia. Now, I’m not referring to McDonald toys, which are very collectible and the subject of a future column.

No, I mean of the man himself. For example, a single-signed baseball with the signature of Ray A Kroc, sold for a shade over four hundred dollars in May 2013. Pretty Cool.

I’m wondering if you file that under “owners”, or “hamburgers”, or “self-made success stories”?

Another item that sold for nearly six hundred dollars in 2011, was a first day cover that both he and Harland Sanders, of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame, signed. The cover commented the life of the famed financer Andrew Mellon.

On second thought, maybe the owner of the Kroc-signed baseball filed it under “over fifty-year-old visionaries who founded one of the most successful companies in the history of the world.”

That would be a pretty elite group, wouldn’t you say? Hm……

He could not say that he had no children, he could not lie, after all, lawyers cannot and do not lie.

People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." ~ Cicero - 55 BC •••• My son, Kenny, wrote this:

When I was a little boy in Scotland I used to love staying at My Uncle Daves and Aunt Marys because my Aunt had the softest sweetest Scottish voice you could ever imagine and it was so wonderful to hear her voice when she would wake me up for the days events. Now my favorite way to wake up is with my 10 month old baby girls finger up my nostril, her tugging my hair and babbling Da Da Da Da Da in my ear!

I told him: Kenny . . . you made your daddy laugh . . . and have a couple tears roll down my cheeks at the same time.

That's one of the most beautiful paragraphs ever written. I'm proud of you. (And of that little girl . . . ) (That little 10 month old girl, Alex, is now 10 years old!)

The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Ms. Pelosi's presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip- flop on many other issues. Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her Representative obligations both in Washington, and in California The woman is simply not to be trusted."

The Cardinal concluded, ”But, when compared with President Biden, Ms. Pelosi is a saint."

On another tack, on April 11 at the Vista County Courthouse a large group of us gathered around your writer Friedrich Gomez in the Jury Lounge where we were all summoned for prospective jury duty. His popularity with the general public is UNBELIEVABLE!

Why did The Paper suddenly stop running his photo credits at the end of his cover stories? Did Putin complain? Or BLM? Friedrich says what we are now only allowed to think. His stories against CRT, Putin, Mega-Rich Pastors, Political Correctness Gone Wrong, the inner erosion of American values (Lincoln's Prophecy), wrongful use of the "racist label" (Mark Twain Not a Racist, Adults Fired for Remarks Made in Childhood), Battle for the Soul of America, and defending the U. S. military usage of Native American names for equipment, etc.

Why is Friedrich Gomez so popular?

Because he speaks for most Americans who are now genuinely afraid to use their Right of Free Speech in the workplace. Try it. And see how fast you lose your job today.

We'd like to see his familiar photo again, at the end of his stories. Not important? For us Americans, it is.

Editor’s Note: As explained several times in this column, there are times when there simply is not enough space to run a photo. It’s one of the ongoing problems of publishing. Which stories to run?

shower by herself but was unable to bend down to wash her feet . . . or to put on her underwear and/or shorts/slacks.

That would be my job. I helped her into the shower and then left her while I played with the pups. After she finished her shower she would call me and I would happily wash her feet and assist her in any other way I could.

All went well.

While she finished getting dressed I took the pups outside to play in our fenced yard. They scooted around the yard, sniffing here and there, and were at peace. I sat at the patio table and was fascinated by this lovely orange tree Evelyn has in her back yard. The problem is, the tree is at the top of a bank, surrounded by ice plant and patches of dirt . . . and the slope of which is about a 45 degree angle.

Dumb ol' me . . . felt an overwhelming compulsion to begin harvesting that tree of those lovely looking oranges. But I held back . . . dumb ol' me was no longer young ol' me . . . I'm in my late middle earlies and I had reservations about going up that 45 degree bank to reach the orange tree. I have been known to fall in my latter years . . . and to break a shoulder. Didn't want to go through that again.

But, still . . . those oranges sure looked mighty good. I remembered how sweet and juicy they were from last year. Dumb ol' me went into the garage, retrieved two plastic grocery bags and committed myself to climbing that 45 degree bank, reaching the tree, harvesting the oranges and then feasting upon same.

Dumb ol' me cautiously began my climb . . . in fairly short order I had reached the tree and, with a big silly grin, began to harvest the oranges. I guess I got about a dozen before the bag was filled.

Now dumb ol' me had to decide how I was gonna get back down that 45 degree angle bank. It would be much more difficult to get down the slope than it was getting up.

Very, very slowly I edged myself, foot by foot, downward . . . occasionally sliding a bit . . . occasionally beginning to lose some balance . . . and often wondering, "what in the hell did I get myself into this time?"

Eventually, I made it to the bottom.

Safely. Dumb ol' me had not fallen.

Dumb ol' me actually survived.

I parceled out half the oranges for Evelyn, half for me (after all it was ME who risked life and limb to retrieve them!) I ate one immediately and, indeed, it was like nectar of the Gods. Just as I suspected.

Sweet, juicy, lovely pulp.

Evelyn emerged, all freshened up from her shower (she doesn't like showers; prefers a bath; but the hip replacement doctors say "not yet.")

We chatted a bit, played with the pups, and then I went on my way to take care of other typical Sunday business.

Which included the consumption of several more fresh oranges.

Such are the exciting times on a Sunday morning in California.
