One of our favorite writers is a rascal by the name of Kent Ballard. He can write you stories that will make you laugh and then turn right around and write a story that will make you cry.
He’s special, Kent is. We’ve been trying to get him to write more often but he’s also a stubborn cuss and sometimes would rather tend to his 40 acre farm back in Indiana than scribble.
But when he scribbles, he weaves magic. A number of years ago a writing colleague of ours, let’s call her Diana, went through a rough time.
Diana had breast cancer and had undergone a radical mastectomy. The whole sad story will unfold as you read the following, told as only the marvelous wordsmith, Kent Ballard, can tell it, in a story that is derived from a number of emails. Listen to the caring and compassion in his 'voice' as he writes. The conversation and commentary is in three separate parts: by Kent Ballard
I spoke with Diana on the telephone yesterday and she gave me permission to pass along a little information about her. Diana is ill, very ill. She underwent what was assumed to be a standard radical mastectomy and when the surgeons got inside her they found the cancer was much more aggressive than they had originally thought. They believe the cancer has metastasized in her and is spreading rapidly.
If ever a person among us needed your good vibrations, kind thoughts, and prayers, it is Diana. The doctors refuse to give her a prognosis at this time. After we cursed all doctors everywhere, as most folks do at times like these, Diana did admit that they seemed both surprised and stumped by her condition. So it is possible they are planning other things for her, but have yet to come up with any kind of plan, at least one they are willing to share with her. She's in the hospital now and her insurance won't keep her there much longer. She was happy to tell me she's been in contact with a The Paper - 760.747.7119

hospice in her area, and according to her it's a very good one. She hopes to be transferred there soon.
Diana is now on a regular morphine drip via IV, and says she is still comfortable at this point. She's also undergoing chemo therapy and they're giving her drugs to fight off the nausea that accompanies that kind of treatment. She does not have her laptop with her in the hospital, so email messages will not reach her. I asked her if I could give her telephone number out, and after some hesitation she said yes. Should you call her, I suggest you keep your messages light, hopeful, and quick. She's uncomfortable staying on the telephone for long periods of time. As you might imagine, they now have her wired up like a Christmas tree, oxygen tubes, IV drip, and heaven knows what else, and the phone is difficult for her to handle.
There's not much more I can add to this. Those are about the only facts I know, save that she has been a good and close friend to us all for many years. She did say she was looking forward to her transfer to the hospice, since nobody likes spending time in hospitals anyway,
but there is a short waiting list and it may be a period of time before they can take her in. Kent
Subsequent to this note one of our members (I do not have permission to quote her messages; I have carte blanche from Kent, on anything he writes. He trusts me) asked Kent to convey her deepest concern and caring for Diana.
Years ago, when we started getting those highly unusual (and to me, very frightening) posts from Diana you'll remember that I loaded up the Mexican Pontiac and spent four days with her. Before I left to come home, she joked with me saying that I, "landed here like General Patton, kicking ass and taking names". I laughed too because we both knew it wasn't like that at all. But I did play the role of something akin to a father, ordering her to make a doctor's appointment the night before I left, taking her to it and admonishing her, "don't you come out of that office without some prescriptions in your hand", and then driving her directly to the pharmacy and getting her meds, and casually (but closely) watching
her take them every day I was there.
Bipolars are like high-stakes gamblers. It takes one to know one. And from the words she was writing no one else may have rung an alarm bell, but when I read them I knew she was on the razor's edge and heading the wrong way. Too many references to that little .22 rifle she had. We talked for hours and hours while I was there, me about all my past sins and the dumb things I've done, and she about hers. It was a good visit for both of us, despite her cat sleeping on my head one cold night. I never made much about it, but I think I saved her life. I dropped in (from 500 miles away) at just the right time. And since I was bipolar too, she could tell me about all the odds and ends on her mind and she knew I wouldn't be judgmental. How could I be? I'm manic-depressive too. I just watched my medications a little more closely. But I always thought well of myself for doing what I did. Then Annie committed suicide.
Try to imagine how that felt. I saved an old pen-pal that I'd only

met once or twice during bashes twenty years ago, but let my own daughter slip through my fingers.
Speaking rationally and clinically about it, there was nothing I could have done. Annie, like all bipolars, was a shrewd and artful liar when she wanted to be because in her mind, she was telling the truth. The truth she felt at that exact instant. But as soon as she hung up the phone, or I would come home from visiting her, she still had the damned bipolar disorder and the meds, especially the most important one, lithium, made her ill. They made me ill too when I started taking them and Annie and I both went through about a dozen different forms of lithium, taking one until we could stand it no longer, then trying another one. Eventually I found just the plain old pills were the best for me and after a while they quit making me nauseous. Annie never had that luxury. So it was on the meds, off the meds, on the meds, off the meds with her. We also talked for hours and hours, sometimes when I was in Columbia, SC, where she lived and other times on the phone. I used every trick in my book to keep her on her medication, including telling her about Diana and what I caught in those messages. Annie teared up at that. I wanted her to. I wanted her to know she was playing with a very real fire. And sometimes Anne

A guy is walking along a Florida beach when he comes across a lamp partially buried in the sand. He picks up the lamp and gives it a rub. A genie appears and tells him he has been granted one wish.
The guy thinks for a moment and says, "I want to live forever."
"Sorry," said the genie, "I'm not allowed to grant eternal life."
"OK, then, I want to die after the government balances the budget and eliminates the debt." "You crafty little bastard," said the genie. . .
would call me, tightly wound up over some small thing, and I'd talk her down, then call the rest of my family in the area and tell them to get her back on her medication and watch her. To Annie, I was always Daddy. A Daddy that was ten feet tall, bulletproof, and could chew iron and spit nails. She lived long enough to see me quit drinking, one small happiness I'm left with.
Once she came up to visit during the winter, and I took her out--just Anne and me--to a fancy steak house in Terre Haute. She enjoyed herself immensely and we joked and laughed through the whole meal. It was a wonderful night for us both. But when we walked out of that restaurant we stepped into a blizzard that had blown up without warning. There must have been over a foot of snow on the ground that was bare when we walked in, and it was coming down very heavily, the wind whipping it up into drifts. Anne was completely unconcerned. Daddy was driving. While I cautiously picked our way through the snowdrifts and poor visibility home that night, I needed to get something off my chest. We were poking along at a stately 2025 MPH, even in a four wheel drive vehicle, and I summoned up all the courage I had and apologized to her for all those years that I drank like a fish when she was just a little girl. Her reaction blindsided me. She seemed to grow two The Dead Parrot
At dawn the telephone rang.
"Hello, Senor Kent? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house." "Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?"
"Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Kent, that your parrot, he is dead." "My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?" "Si, Senor, that's the one."
"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?"
"From eating the rotten meat, Senor Kent." "Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?"
"Nobody, Senor . He ate the meat of the dead horse." "Dead horse? horse?"

feet taller and took over the conversation. She told me NEVER to think I'd been a poor father, never to be angry with myself for doing that. Didn't I remember how all her little friends always wanted to play at OUR house? Didn't I remember getting on the floor with them and letting them climb all over me and beat me to a pulp while I pretended to be yelling for help? She said her school friends all loved me, even if there was a strong whiff of scotch about me now and then. She told me something I was never aware of. There were other fathers who drank among her friends. They never played in those houses. Their fathers weren't like me. The girls were often even afraid of making too much noise. Their Daddies were...different. So they always came to our house to play, where Annie had a friendly Daddy and one who told them silly jokes and played with them and told the best ghost stories anyone had ever heard. She went on at great length about this, and grew even more stern in telling me about it. Yes, she was very glad I quit drinking. She had been afraid I might have a driving accident someday and get hurt. And she knew what I did wasn't easy, and that she was very, very proud of me. But that she had been proud of me even before because I had never, ever, been a poor father or someone she ever felt the need to be ashamed of. She said she had always considered herself lucky to have me for her father.
"Yes, Senor Kent, he died from all that work pulling the water cart."
"Are you insane? What water cart?" "The one we used to put out the fire, Senor."
"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"
"The one at your house, Senor Kent! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire." "What the hell? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a candle?!" "Yes, Senor Kent."
"But there's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?" "For the funeral, Senor Kent."
"WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL?!"

I didn't say much for a while. My throat wouldn't let me. And the headlights reflecting off the heavy snow made my eyes water. At least that's what I told her.
The night after I talked to Diana and she told me her condition, I went outside for a little walk. Everything above was all in my mind at the time. How could this be? How was it even possible that I could intervene in the nick of time for Diana, but not Annie? What had I done wrong? How could this have happened? What the hell did any of us do to deserve this damned disorder that drives so many of us to take our own lives? Why in God's name was I still alive, after all the decades of risky behavior, drinking, and no medication, not even a diagnosis--and Anne be gone and Diana on the way out? That was a hard walk to take. And I knew even then I will be taking other walks--alone--like that in the night again.
I think it was Annie herself that brought me around. I was wondering what she would say if we could just talk once again? And I knew what it would be. She'd tell me the same thing. Anne never met or corresponded with Diana, but she knew she was a bipolar, and therefore a sister of sorts. She knew Diana through me, and we talked

...VERY LONG SILENCE. "Ernesto, if you scratched that shotgun, you're in deep doodoo." Hooters During a long day of playing golf and looking around the local Bass Pro shop, a couple of my friends and I stopped in at “Hooter's” for some Hot Wings and drinks.
After being there for a while, one of my friends asked me which waitress I would like to be stuck in an elevator with. I told them, "The one who knows how to fix elevators."

about her a few times. I think Anne would have told me that I was only allowed to do what I could--and no more. The rest is God's business, not mine. She would have said she was sorry for leaving like she did. But before Anne died, she did tell me she was proud of me for going to visit Diana and putting a boot in the ass of the Grim Reaper when I had the chance. And Annie would have admitted that she never gave me the same chance for her.
I sat on a log out by the barn for a while. My dogs gathered around me, just looking at me as if they knew I had something heavy on my heart. Sometimes, I swear I think these dogs are telepathic. Sometimes I think all dogs are. They all solemnly followed me back to the house when I came in, no playing, no jumping around, just tagged along in silence.
Somehow--and I can't fully explain this yet--Diana and Anne are linked together in my mind. I still pray for the best, but Diana didn't leave much doubt about the final outcome of her cancer. The last time I saw my beloved friend Steve Walk, just a few months ago, I knelt down to where he was sitting on the couch and I hugged him, telling him we'd build that ethanol still when he got better and came home. He liked that kind of good-
bye, and agreed that building it was just what we would do.
Hope I didn't bore you with all my rambling. I've had some rough days lately and more lie ahead. But I want to say this--When I was at Diana's for those four days, we talked about a thousand subjects. One of them was religion. Diana had been raised a Christian, but as the years went by she saw the cruelty and evil "good Christians" so often display. She was a lesbian, and therefore an outcast in too many churches. People would point and whisper. She knew she wasn't welcome. I think some were even bold enough to tell her that directly. God will deal with those people as He sees fit and not ask any advice from me. But the more she talked, the more I realized she'd never totally left her childhood faith behind despite the cold shoulder she'd received so many times. So please do pray for her. She is a good and decent human being, and she never asked for any of this. Kent (Again, the same lady urged Kent to discuss religion with Diana):
We already talked a little bit along these lines when I called her, but I will tell her what you said. Probably not exactly word-forword, I won't be reading this when we talk again, but it'll be the same message. I believe she will be receptive. In fact, I think she already accepts this.
Facing imminent death has a way of rearranging a person's priorities. There are no atheists in a foxhole, you know. If everyone truly understood they could die at any time (heart attack, stroke, car wreck, lighting bolt, whatever) we'd all think much differently. There's no telling what kind of a world we would live in if we all remembered the simple fact that we're mortals too, and could easily be snatched out of this life before our next heartbeat.
I said pretty much what you did above when I visited her and we talked about religion and faith one night, that she had been spurned and hurt by people, not God. She agreed, but said it was hard to attend a church with no people in it. I kind of let out a little laugh, and she looked at me oddly. I told her I do that all the time. It was the same thing I told a neighbor lady, who is probably the most genuinely Christian woman I know. Debbie doesn't preach the Bible, she doesn't hammer people over the head with it. Debbie simply lives it. She makes a strong effort to steer her life by the Good Book every day and night. She's the only woman I ever knew who never said a single bad word against anybody, nor have I ever heard a single person say a bad word against her. We've known her over eleven years now, and that's a singular track record. She's the only one like that. Some years ago, as I explained to
Diana, Debbie started having small weekly prayer meetings in her home for anyone who wished to attend. They'd read a Bible verse or two, then sit around and discuss it and how it fits in a person's life. Tess went to them and would come home, telling me I should go too. Tess said it wasn't like some stuffy, formal church, but more like a gathering of the early Christians who would meet in each other's homes and try to make sense out of the scriptures and how they should try to use them as a road map in their lives. I kept making excuses, not really wanting to go. It wasn't the message that bothered me, like Diana I'd just seen too much hypocrisy in churches.
But Debbie was different. There was no hypocrisy, not an ounce of it that I have ever been able to detect, inside her. So I decided to tag along once or twice just to appease Tess and to show Debbie I had nothing but respect and good thoughts of her. I went a few times, and it was always a good experience for me. Once, after the meeting ended and most other folks left, Tess and I were still around and Debbie asked my why I didn't attend a church? I told her I couldn't smoke in a church, and she laughed. No, I said, that was really the primary reason, regardless of how silly it sounded. But I added that I DID go to church, just

Escondido city officials are moving forward with a $12 million pipeline expansion that will bring treated sewer water to hundreds of citrus and avocado groves. The plan would triple the city’s recycled water line from three miles to more than 10 miles. Farmers, who have faced sharply rising water rates in recent years, have been lobbying the city for the expansion. Escondido’s agricultural industry employs more than 2,000 people and accounts for $81 million a year in revenue, according to Escondido Growers for Agricultural Preservation, an advocacy group.
The expansion would allow farmers to irrigate their crops with recycled water, which is much less expensive than the potable water they’ve been using.

Man About Town
Found another neat little restaurant you may want to try. Mirin Cafe, a Teriyaki and Noodle House, is located at 1555 E. Valley Parkway in Escondido.
Got a Chicken Teriyaki dinner to go for evelyn and me; while waiting I had a bowl of Miso soup and a California roll (a type of sushi). Very reasonable prices, food is good, staff is efficient and polite. I dealt with Daisy, a member of the family (it’s a family run operation.) A bit small, seats about 30, but nice, neat, clean. Give it a try. Speaking of food places, one my favorites is Charlie’s Restaurant, also in Escondido. We eat there quite often, usu-
ally at breakfast. I recently asked Fidencio, longtime staffer at Charlie’s how long he had been working there. 16 years! That’s typical of the tenure of folks who work at Charlie’s. That tells me that Charlie is a pretty good boss. Low turnover of staff usually means the staff is well cared for. Charlie acknowledged to me later . . . “you find good employees you want to keep them. They are the ones that build your business. We take good care of our people.” ••••• Evelyn and I had lunch with Oceanside Mayor, Jim Wood, his wife, Pam, his aide, Victoria, and longtime newspaper icon, Tom Missett, former publisher of the old Oceanside Blade, later absorbed into the late North County Times.
We were there to interview Hizzoner about his bid to unseat Bill Horn for the 5th District Supervisor chair. He is excited about his prospects. Oceanside voters have returned him to office repeatedly, which suggests they’re happy with his job performance. He has good name recognition, an impressive record, and he just might pull it off. The political campaign is getting active. ••••• It was about a year ago when
Evelyn and I flew in a B17 from Ramona to Long Beach. It was part of the touring Wings of Freedom Tour that is returning again this year, to Ramona on April 23rd through the 25th, and at Palomar Airport from April 25th through 27th (yes, I know. The name is McClelland Field. I still call it Palomar Airport, so sue me.)
This year, we just might take a ride in a B24. They’ll have rides available to the public on a B17, B24 and a P51 fighter. $450 a trip. Or you can just walk around the static display and see and learn a lot.
You’ll be seeing more info on this show in the coming weeks. ••••• Remember DigiDog? The Escondido business that would do marvelous works of transferring film to video and slides? And do all other kinds of graphics work? Well, they’ve been purchased by a handsome young man by name of Taylor Larison who has renamed the business Photo/Video Services. He’s set up shop at 1531 W. Mission Rd., Suite F, in San Marcos and you can reach him at 760.744.2800. Nice young fella who knows his stuff. Give him a call or stop by and let him show you what he can do. ••••• Took in the Saturday Market
I found it much too detailed and graphic, and the sort of sensational material that would perhaps be published in the local tabloids which deal in shocking material.
I soon stopped reading in disgust! PLEASE, if in the future, you find it necessary to describe in detail and dwell on things much better not dwelt upon, preface the article with a WARNING that it might not be material that everyone would want to view! (ESPECIALLY NOT SUITABLE STUFF FOR CHILDREN IN MY OPINION!) THANK YOU!

(5 for suspended license and 14 for unlicensed driver, 12 for no insurance.) Wood Challenges Horn for 5th District Supervisor’s Chair
Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood is going after five-term incumbent San Diego County Supervisor Bill Horn and thinks he can win. “Bill doesn’t listen to the constituents. I have, as both an Oceanside City Council member as well as Mayor and I most certainly will as your new 5th District Supervisor. Bill has been there for almost 20 years and he’s out of touch with North County communities. I will listen to them.”
Horn, who has a great many real estate holdings, disputes this, arguing he has helped bring new libraries, sheriff’s substations and advocates for propery owners.
On June 3rd, voters will be asked to decide if 66-year old Jim Wood should become the new 5th District Supervisor, or should they return Bill Horn. Whichever candidate gets more than 50 per cent of the vote will be the next supervisor.
As of March 17, Horn had a financial war chest of $132,649; Wood had just $6,380. Horn’s donor list is replete with contributions from real estate developers, construction industry executives and land brokers — the same backers who have supported him over the years and provided the chief source of fodder for 6 Costly Mistakes to Avoid Before Buying a Home
San Diego County A new report has just been released which identifies the 6 most common and costly mistakes that homebuyers make before buying a home. Mortgage regulations have changed significantly over the last few years, making your options wider than ever. Subtle changes in the way you approach mortgage shopping, and even small differences in the way you structure your mortgage, can save or cost you literally thousands of dollars and years of expense. Whether you are about to buy your first home, or are planning to make a move to your next home, it is critical that you inform yourself
his critics. The majority of Wood’s contributors are retirees and small business individuals.
Horn has been termed arrogant and aloof by his critics and Wood is quick to point this out. “Bill is a pure politician who time and time again sides with big special interest and ignores the needs of the community,” said Wood, adding his 31 years as an Oceanside police officer give him a good feel for diverse interests.

To ensure students are proficient in civics knowledge, we must require a greater emphasis in our high schools. During my time in the Legislature, I’ve continued to work on legislation to create high-stakes testing for civics and American history.

AG day in the Capitol
As the nation’s leading agricultural state, California remains the nation’s breadbasket. By declaring March 19 AG Day in the Capitol, the Legislature recognized the need to support this vital industry, especially during this period of prolonged drought.
Agriculture’s impact on the state’s economy cannot be overemphasized. California is the number one producer of a list of crops that is too long to reproduce here. The list includes locally grown crops such as avocados, lemons, strawberries and grapes, products that help place San Diego and Riverside in the top tier of California’s agricultural counties. Given the vital importance of the state’s AG industry, educating our future farmers must be encouraged and supported. Unfortunately, Governor Brown seems to be

going in the opposite direction with a proposal that would curtail or eliminate the Agriculture Education Incentive Grant Program (AEIGP). This program supports 315 agricultural programs that currently enroll over 75,000 high school students statewide.
I believe that AG education must remain an integral part of California’s school curriculum. Consequently, I recently joined 22 of my colleagues on the Legislative Rural Caucus to send a letter to Governor Brown asking for continued funding for the AEIGP. The Governor’s proposed cuts will be subjected to intense scrutiny; indeed, legislation has already been introduced to restore the funding. Educating future generations of California’s farmers must remain a top priority. After all, the products grown by those farmers will feed the nation and much of the world.

The “Look At Me” Generation
In a 1976 issue of New York Magazine, famed writer and novelist Tom Wolfe famously coined the moniker “Me Generation” to describe the evolution of the post-World War II progeny (of which I am a member) that has been commonly referred to as “Baby Boomers.”
The members of this cohort--not all, to be sure, but enough to influence an age and entire society---seemed to throw tradition and convention aside during the Vietnam War years, eschewing the values of selfsacrifice and trust in institutions their elders from the Greatest Generation had

Once the Vietnam War ended, it was as if a cloud lifted and suddenly the focus turned inward as people began to search for the meaning of life even as they were enjoying the fruits of what was the end of a 30-year economic boom created by three different wars and the government spending they engendered.
Synanon and est seminars (remember those?), and a panoply of communes sprouting up offered new pathways to self-absorption. The message was clear: “Me” is what’s important.
Our digital age has visited upon us many wonders: Smartphones now have computing power that exceeds that of the capsules that sent men to the moon; the miniaturization of computer chips and other electronic peripherals had made possible cameras and microphones that can easily be held in one hand; and of course, the Internet and players on it like Facebook, Google, and others, make it possible for people to communicate globally with a keystroke.

The Nazis Organization Hitler Turned His Back On…
During the 1930s, when the American economy was in shambles, many people were looking for a political savior – a different system of government that would take them out of the financial deep abyss. Some looked to socialism, others to communism. More than 30 percent of the nation was out of work, while the people of Germany were emerging from the Great Depression.
In 1936, a number of Americans having little faith in President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the U.S. government, joined the GermanAmerican Bund, also known as the German-American

A man who Oceanside police say was a known LA gang member, was shot four times by an Oceanside police officer after the man refused to show his hands and went for a gun in his waistband, according to Oceanside police reports.
The officer “felt that his safety was in danger” and fired multiple shots. At some point, the man's 9mm handgun fell to the ground. The man was struck at least three times. He was flown to a hospital, where he died around 10:30 a.m. The man had an extensive criminal history. He was 24 to 25 years old.

Federation. It was a Nazi-leaning organization established in 1936. The Bund replaced a group known earlier as the Friends of New Germany. The new name emphasized the Bund’s American foundation after public criticism that the Friends party was “unpatriotic.” The Bund consisted primarily of German-American citizens. The Bund’s main goal was to promote a favorable view of Nazi Germany. The earlier “Friends” had been authorized in 1933, when Nazi Deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess gave German immigrant and Nazi party member Heinz Spanknobel the authority to form an American Nazi organization. Based in New York City, there was a strong “Friends” membership in Chicago and Milwaukee, both cities with large GermanAmerican populations. But, Spanknobel was deposed as leader when he was deported for failure to register as a foreign agent. Like the earlier “Friends” organization, members of the new German-American Bund wore black uniforms, marched in parades, held weekend outings for families and gave the impression of a patriotic, fami-

Your Mouthwash Can Give You High Blood Pressure!
In the past, the presence and metabolic activities of oral bacteria has been traditionally associated with negative health effects ranging from bad breath and cavities to more serious gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis as well as contributing to cardiovascular disease and stroke. However, new studies are beginning to show that certain amounts of bacteria present in our mouths are actually beneficial to our health. In fact, these bacteria may be a prime source in the process of converting nitrogen containing compounds back into nitric oxide in our blood which causes our smooth muscles to relax and lower
Who Decides if There is a Conflict of Interest?
The ESCONDIDO MUNICIPAL CODE section on Code of Ethics, makes it clear (as I’ve highlighted in bold) that there doesn’t have to be a financial gain to have a conflict. Chapter 19 PERSONNEL ARTICLE 3. CODE OF ETHICS Sec. 19-90. Conflicts of interest.
(a) No person shall engage in any business or transaction or shall have a financial or other personal interest, direct or indirect, which is incompatible with the proper discharge of his official duties in the public interest or would tend to impair his independence of judgment or action in the performance of his official duties. Personal as distinguished from financial interest includes an interest arising from blood or marriage relationship or close business or political association. In section 6, also highlighted in red, it is clear that disclosure is required of both the public official and the person coming before
Recently, groups of researchers from the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet of Stockholm, Sweden, studied the effects of using a popular mouthwash prescribed by oral clinicians to drastically reduce and control the population of natural oral bacteria in their subjects mouths. Since the presence of oral bacteria is crucial in the initial step of converting nitrogen compounds into nitric oxide in our bodies, this greatly reduced the amount of nitric oxide. All these test subjects were healthy, non-smoking, disease free individuals who were placed on controlled healthy diets with low nitric acid producing foods. Each subject used the antiseptic mouthwash twice-daily. The results were AMAZING and a little disconcerting. After just 7 days, their urinary and plasma nitrogen levels were reduced significantly, and their oral nitrogen levels decreased almost 90%. More the Council.
(6) Disclosure of interest in legislation. A councilman who has a financial or other private interest in any legislation shall disclose on the records of the council, or other appropriate authority, the nature and extent of such interest. This provision shall not apply if the councilman disqualifies himself from voting. Any other person who has a financial or other private interest, and who participates in discussion with or gives an official opinion to the council, shall disclose on the records of the council or other appropriate authority the nature and extent of such interest. (Code 1957, § 1595)
City Council members have had conflicts (divulged on their FPPC Form 700) that everybody understood: Marie Waldron owned a business on Grand so would leave the chamber when that was being discussed because it was a conflict of interest. Olga Diaz is married to an Escondido police officer and so that may prohibit her from being involved with legislation involving the police. But what happens when someone doesn’t think they have a conflict, like the Mayor? He seems to think that if HE says there’s not a conflict there’s not a conflict. Should he need to either recuse himself or reveal a business relationship when particular people
importantly, their blood pressures (both systolic and diastolic) went up on an average of 3.3 mmHg and 2.2 mmHg respectively related to their drop in nitrogen levels. A direct cause and effect was drawn between the decrease in the presence of salivary nitrogen compounds, causing a decrease amount of circulating nitrogen compounds which in turn caused a decrease in the amount of nitric oxide available to the body, and thus, increased the test subjects blood pressures.
This study was a small study, but the results were dramatic and to be sure, future testing with larger groups will be necessary to clarify the relationship of blood pressure to the amount and type of bacteria in our mouths. What one should do is beware of using mouth-
washes on a daily basis to the point where it completely eliminates the "natural" balance in your mouth. As dentists we prescribe certain mouthwashes regularly for our patients with gum disease (periodontal disease) because the threat of heart attack or stroke is serious. However, for the majority of our patients, brushing and flossing with "periodic" use of mouthwashes appears to be the better regimen at the present time. BUT ... we'll keep you posted if anything new develops to change this. As for which mouthwash, stay away from those with "Alcohol' because of its carcinogenic potential. In Service to Our Community,

Debbie and her husband's property is shaped like a square notch cut out of my much larger property. I pointed out her back window to the deep woods, just one pasture away. "Deb, do you see that woods back there? Do you know it goes on for MILES with no homes, no barns, no people, not even any livestock?" She said yes, she saw that and

I said, "Debbie, THAT'S my church. When I feel the need to talk with God--and that's more often than you might suspect--that's where I go." I went on and explained something I've felt for many years. People build huge, astonishing cathedrals. They'll spend generations building them. Others go to equally nice but much smaller churches. Regardless of whether they are made out of solid hand-carved stone, or mere clapboards, they have one thing in common. They were designed and built by men. Human hands erected them. Where I go, the place was built by God. No human planted those trees, no human designed the little creeks that run through it for aesthetic reasons, no sound engineer set up speakers to play tape recordings of birds and squirrels and wild turkeys. In my church, God provides His own soundtrack of peace and tranquility. I go back there often, with no chainsaw, no truck or Mule, just to sit and have a few words with God in the very place He made. Debbie looked at me, then Tess. Tess said yes, he does that.. Not exactly as OFTEN as he says, but he does do that.
Deb pondered this for a moment. Then she said if that's where I felt closest to God, then that was where I should go. She realized I knew my Bible, after I'd made some comments during the prayer meetings. She admitted that that kind of surprised her and laughed apologetically.

Why Most People Attend Church on Easter
Easter is the Super Bowl Day of Christianity. It’s the day Jesus rose from the dead, proving there is life after death. More people attend church on Easter Sunday than any other day of the year. Here’s why:
1. IT’S ENCOURAGING. Easter is the ultimate story of hope. Between the upbeat music, spring decorations, and hope-filled sermon, just about everyone leaves Easter encouraged! 2. IT HONORS GOD. Coming to church is a way to
4. YOU’LL FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF. Lots of nights we put our heads on our pillows wishing we had done better things with our time. When you come to church on Easter, then spend the afternoon with family or friends, you lay your head down thinking, “I did something good today.”
At New Song, we feel so strongly about helping people that we’re hosting FOURTEEN Easter services this year, in four locations, in two languages. We have an “Early Easter” service on Wednesday, April 16. We’re hosting carnivals, giving Easter eggs and candy, and offering refreshment trucks after most services. We’re even doing a church service online for those who can’t get out. Check us out at www.newsongchurch.com. Happy Easter to you!

I told this to Diana when I visited her. She laughed and asked if that was true? I told her I wouldn't lie about a thing like that. She said maybe she should find a forest of her own to go to. I remarked that even that wasn't necessary. God lives in our hearts, and we carry Him with us everywhere. She could talk to Him whenever and wherever she wanted. A pause, then she nodded. Yes, she understood that too. But she was still hog-tied by her depression. The medication she'd just started taking again hadn't kicked in yet.

With her condition, I've no doubt at all she's thought of what we talked about, and what you have written over all these years, and that someone would generally give you a hard time of it for simply stating your faith, like those who gave her a hard time for simply stepping inside a church.

Paul & Nome Van Middlesworth, The Computer Factory www.computerfactorysanmarcos.com How We Met Cactus Jack
Nome doesn’t like it when I bash the competition. She says it’s ungentlemanly and déclassé to trash-talk Apple, HP, Dell and the rest of the junk dealers and says I should lighten up on the Big Box Boobs like Fry’s, Best Buy and Office Depot.
A few years ago a customer overheard Nome nail me over comments I made about “Geek Squads” customer service. He told her, “If you think Paul is bad you should hear “Cactus Jack,” up at the Rainbow Computer Emporium. Paul can’t hold a candle to “Cactus Jack” when it comes to bad-mouthing the competition.” Nome decided that we should pay a visit to “Cactus Jack” so I might see just how unattractive competition bashing really is. “A dose of my own medicine,” she called it. The following Saturday we drove up to Rainbow.
‘Tom Morrow’ Cont. from Page 11
ly-oriented all-American organization, all the while advocating a U.S. government in the image of Nazi Germany. A series of 69 Bund chapters were formed in the East and Midwest. Bund camps were set up as Nazi indoctrination and training facilities. Using the swastika and Hitler salute, most of the Bund propaganda railed against President Roosevelt, the Jewish population, and Communists, but the Bund always professed loyalty to the United States by always displaying the American flag.
The Bund elected Fritz Kuhn, who had been a German soldier during World War I. He was granted U.S. citizenship in 1934. After assuming Bund control in March 1936, Kuhn was an effective leader. He was able to unite and expand the organization, but he was soon revealed to be an incompetent swindler, who had a tendency to exaggerate the truth. Kuhn and a few of his “Bundsmen” traveled to Berlin for the 1936 Summer Olympics. They were ushered into the Reich Chancellery, where Kuhn had his photo taken with Adolf Hitler, who was not impressed. Hitler distrusted Kuhn and the Bund
The sign said “RAINBOW COMPUTER EMPORIUM -- If I ain’t got it, you don’t need it.” The store was an old clapboard bunkhouse with a porch running the full lenth. It had a corrugated roof and badly needed a coat of paint The store was about a mile east of Rainbow at a dusty crossroad in ranch country. We parked and walked up the steps and across the wooden porch. “Cactus Jack” scowled at us from where he sat behind the cash register. “What the hell you want, can’t you see I’m eatin my lunch?” He waved a half empty whiskey bottle at us and belched. He was a short stout man with a drooping salt and pepper mustache and a sweat stained, misshapen leather hat. I knew I was going to like him. Nome whispered, “Be quiet and listen, I’ll do the talking.”
“Hello Mr. Jack,” she said pleasantly, “we’ve been computer shopping and want to know how your computers compare.” Jack squinted at her suspiciously, “compared to what?” “Well,” she hesitated, “how about compared to Gateway Computers.” Jack rolled his eyes. “Them meadow muffins wrapped in cowhide don’t deserve to be called computers. Folks that’s stupid enough to buy em wind up callin em “Gatecrashers.” Nome blinked and took a step backwards, “What about Compaq?” Jack leaned forward and smirked, “Compaqs you say? I hear the folks at the factory in Texas call em “Comebacks”. They say that every one of them suckers gotta comeback to the factory three
leadership, so the organization never received support from the Nazi regime.
The beginning of the end came when the Nazi government declared that no Nazi emblems were to be used by the Bund because Hitler needed to appease the U.S. government in distancing Germany from the organization, which had become a national embarrassment.
The Bund’s activities peaked on Feb. 20, 1939, at a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York. More than 20,000 attended, where Kuhn criticized President Roosevelt, referring to his “Rosenfeld’s New Jew Deal.” Later that year, Kuhn was charged with tax evasion and embezzling $14,000 from the Bund and was sentenced to prison.
When Hitler declared war on the United States in late 1941, it brought an end to the German-American Bund, which has become a mere footnote in history.

times before they work right.”
Nome met his smirk with an innocent smile. “And Dell?” she asked. Jack snorted “They sure knew what they was doin when they named it to rhyme with Hell. You cain’t even get the case off’n one of them hogs without bustin somethin’ loose and there’s nothing worth looking at inside of em anyway.”
Nome continued, “How about HP?” Jack stood up and leaned forward across the counter toward Nome. His pale blue eyes barely showed through his squint. “Whar I come from If’n a man ain't proud enough to go by his rightful name he ain’t considered to be much force. Don’t trust nobody that goes by initials.” “Well” said Nome, “the people at Fry’s said,” – Jack interrupted “That second hand junk store. The only thing they know how to sell is three year service contracts.” What about Best Buy?” asked Nome. Jack spat into a coffee can on the counter and wiped his mouth with his sleeve “Them Geek Squad
technicians make turkeys look smart. Hell, they give em all handicapped parkin.”
Nome shot a triumphant glance at me. “So I gather that you would recommend we buy a computer made here at Rainbow Computer.” Cactus Jack glared at her. “I don’t know what made you jump to that conclusion. We ain’t no better than anybody else. Here lately I’ve come to think we might be worse than some.” With that Jack belched again and sat down hard in his chair. He was winded. Nome started backing toward the door. I told her to go on ahead and I would be out shortly.
I joined Nome in the car a few minutes later and as we pulled out of “Cactus Jack’s” parking lot she asked, “what on earth could you possibly want to say to that terrible man.” I looked in the rearview mirror. “Cactus” was standing in his doorway. “I just had to kneel down and kiss his ring. We were in the presence of greatness.”
