This is an excerpt from Bruce Brown’s revolutionary collection of eye-witness accounts of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, ‘100 Voices from the Little Bighorn,’ the largest and most complete collection of eye-witness accounts of the battle ever assembled.

White Cow Bull’s story is from a battlefield interview with David Humphreys Miller in 1937.

The old man sat cross-legged in the The Paper - 760.747.7119

Montana sun, posing for me with his gaunt shoulders draped in an ancient trade cloth blanket, gnarled fingers clutching a cottonwood cane. It was hard to imagine that his scraggly hands had once been dexterous with firearms, or that his watery eyes, with bluish, washed out irises, had been among the keenest of any warrior's who had fought in the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

We were camped that August day in 1937 at the Crow Fair. His name was Joseph White Cow Bull. An Oglala Sioux from Pine Ridge Indian

Reservation in South Dakota, he had come to have a last look at the battlefield before he died.

His name seemed somewhat anomalous in combining the bovine sexes. It made better sense in Sioux that it did in English. "Ptebloka Ska" indicated a male of the white man's semidomesticated longhorn cattle, which some interpreter, lacking fluency in English, had evidently mistranslated. White Cow Bull, I learned, had earned the name at age fourteen by shooting a stray longhorn bull with a single arrow.

My first portrait sketch of him completed, I loaded the old man in my car and headed south out of camp on U. S. Highway 87, bypassing the entrance to Custer Battlefield and National Cemetery so he could first see the site of the great Indian village where he had camped sixty two years earlier. I realized that time and cultivation by the semiagricultural Crow must have caused considerable changes in the look of the land.

White Cow Bull nonetheless soon managed to point out where the wide camp circles, each a half mile in diameter, had sprawled along the

he had her.

Spreading his hands to indicate a large circle, he said: "The Shahiyela (Cheyenne) camp was farthest north. We Oglala were camped just southeast of them, with the Brule in a smaller circle next to us. Next were the Sans Arc, then the Miniconjou, the Blackfeet Sioux, and farthest south next to the river were the Hunkpapa. I was twenty eight years old that summer.

"Was this boy still with her her?" I asked him.

Little Big Horn River.

While we were together in this village, I spent most of my time with the Shahiyela since I knew their tongue and their ways almost as well as my own. In all those years, I had never taken a wife, although I had many women. One woman I wanted was a pretty young Shahiyela named Monahseetah, or Meotzi as I called her. She was in her middle twenties but had never married any man of her tribe. Some of my Shahiyela friends said she was from the southern branch of their tribe, just visiting up north, and they said no Shahiyela could marry her because she had a seven year old son born out of wedlock and that tribal law forbade her getting married. They said the boy's father had been a white soldier chief named Long Hair; he had killed her father, Chief Black Kettle, in a battle in the south (Battle of Washita) eight winters before, they said, and captured her. He had told her he wanted to make her his second wife, and so

Upon opening the envelope, a letter enclosed told of how a little old lady who had never asked for anything in her life, was desperately in need of $100 and was wondering if God could send her the money.

Well, the young lady was deeply touched and made a collection from her fellow workmates and collected $90 and sent it off to the old lady. A few weeks later another letter arrived addressed to God, so the young lady opened it and it read "Thank you for the money, God, I deeply appreciate it, however I only received $90. It must have been those bastards at the Post Office."

But after while, his first wife, a white woman, found out and made him leter her go.

"Yes, I saw him often around the Shahiyela camp. He was named Yellow Bird and he had light streaks in his hair. He was always with his mother in the daytime, so I would have to wait until I might try to talk to her alone. She knew I wanted to walk with her under a courting blanket and make her my wife. But she would only talk with me through the tipi cover and never came outside."

White Cow Bull sat silent a few minutes, musing on the past, I suppose, and remembering the Cheyenne girl Long Hair Custer had dishonored in the eyes of her people. Later interviews corroborated the old Oglala's statement that Monahseetah and Yellow Bird had been in the camp at the time of the fight, many of my Cheyenne informants insisting that their strict moral code, more rigid than that of the Sioux, imposed restrictions on their relationship with fallen women.

I was already familiar with various accounts of Custer's winter campaign against the Southern Cheyenne in 1868, in several of which Monahseetah is mentioned as

I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well

Sandy was seated on the porch, wearing an apron, folding clothes from a giant basket. She was a certified laundry fairy for three unkempt children. It was an average Tuesday, 1945.

There was a chicken boiling on the stove inside, freshly plucked. She’d made a mulberry pie with berries from the backyard tree.

A radio atop the pie safe was playing KFBI 1050 AM out of Wichita.

Red Foley was singing “Smoke on the Water.”

Sandy had spent the whole day hanging clothes and bedsheets on a clothesline. She always washed linens on Tuesdays. Her mother had always washed linens on Tuesdays.

It was what laundry fairies did.

Although, sometimes she wondered why she went to so much trouble keeping house when her husband, If you Leave Me, Walk Out Backwards So I'll Think You're Comin' In When You Say You Love Me, You're Full of Prunes, 'Cause Living With You is the Pits

Sandy’s children asked her every day—every SINGLE day— “When’s daddy coming home, Mama?” And each time she answered, she would look into their little eyes and say, “I don’t know, sweetheart.”

War had been a part of their lives for so long, she couldn’t remember existence without fighting. War was in their drinking water. War was in every newspaper headline.

I also learned that when I was born the doctor took one look at my face...turned me over and said..."Look....twins!" It was said that I was so ugly my mother used to feed me with a sling shot!

In fact, my mother never breast fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend. And my father? He carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.

But I guess I can't be too critical of my parents. A lot of people didn't seem to care for me. I remember, as a young lad, working in a pet store and people kept asking how big I'd get. One year they wanted to make me poster boy....for birth control.

My uncle's dying wish was to have me sitting on his lap. He was in the electric chair at the time. I went to a freak show and they let me in for nothing.

"Tell me about the battle with Long Hair." I said.

"That morning, many of the Oglalas were sleeping late. The night before, we held a scalp dance to celebrate the victory over Gray Fox (General Crook) on the Rosebud a week before. I woke up hungry, and went to a nearby tipi to ask an old woman for food. As I ate, she said:"Today, attackers are coming."

"How do you know, Grandmother?"

I asked her, but she would say nothing more about it.

After I finished eating, I caught my best pony, an iron gray gelding, and rode over to the Cheyenne camp circle. I looked all over for Meotzi and finally saw her carrying firewood up from the river. The boy was with her, so I just smiled and said nothing. I rode on to visit with my Shahiyela friend Roan Bear. He was a Fox warrior, belonging to one of the tribe's soldier societies, and was on guard duty that morning. He was stationed by the Shahiyela medicine tipi in which the tribe kept their Sacred Buffalo Head. We settled down to telling each other some of our brave deeds in the past.

The first we knew about any attack was after midday, when we saw dust and heard shooting way to the south near the Hunkpapa camp circle Just then an Oglala came riding into the circle at a gallop. Soldiers are coming.' he shouted in Sioux. 'Many white men are attacking!”

I put this into a shout of Shahiyela words so they would know. I saw the Shahiyela chief, Two Moon, run into camp from the river, leading three or four horses. He hurried toward his tipi, 'Nutskaveho. White soldiers are coming. Everyone run for your horses.'

The sunflower is a symbol of happiness, optimism, longevity, and peace. It is also the national flower of Ukraine. Members of the Escondido Art Association have put together a collection of sunflower artwork to be used as fundraiser gifts. The artworks are available as gifts to donors on a slidi n g scale, the larger a donation the more g i f t options a r e available. All proceeds ( l e s s credit c a r d f e e s ) will be donated to World Central Kitchen, a non-profit organization which is currently providing meal preparation for displaced Ukrainians. To date the EAA has raised over $5,000 in this fundraiser through their display at the Escondido Public Library. This would not have been possible without the enthusiasm and We saw the soldiers in the coulee area were getting closer and closer to the ford, so we trotted out to meet them. An old Shahiyela named Mad Wolf, riding a rack of bones horse, tried to stop us, saying: "'My sons, do not charge the soldiers. There are too many. Wait until our brothers come back to help.'

He rode along with us a way, whining about how such a small war party would have no chance against a whole army. Finally Bobtail Horse told him: "'Uncle, only Earth and the Heavens last long. If we four can stop the soldiers from capturing our camp, our lives will be well spent...'"

Hayay. Hayay. The Shahiyela warriors shouted their war cry, waiting in a big band for Two Moon to lead them into battle.

After Two Moon's band left to fight Major Reno, a new threat developed from Custer's detachment advancing down Medicine Trail coulee toward the river and the Cheyenne camp, he told me. "'They're coming this way.'

Bobtail Horse shouted. 'Across the ford. We must stop them.'

On May 6, at 2:30 p.m., the City of Carlsbad Police Department arrested 18-year-old Brandon Cabrera of Carlsbad on suspicion of sexually assaulting women at The Shoppes at Carlsbad, located in the 2500 block of El Camino Real.

On February 7, Cabrera reportedly followed a female victim around the Macy’s department store, walked up behind her, and sexually battered her by grabbing a part of her body. After the incident, Cabrera ran from the area.

On May 2, Cabrera reportedly followed a female victim leaving the same shopping center. Once she entered her vehicle, Cabrera sexually battered her by grabbing a part of her body. The victim chased Cabrera, but he got away.

A third victim recently reported that she was also sexually assaulted by Cabrera in May of 2021; during that incident, Cabrera approached her from behind and sexually battered her.

On May 6, officers arrested Cabrera with the assistance of The Shoppes at Carlsbad and Macy’s department store employees.

Officers booked Cabrera into the Vista Detention Facility on three separate counts of sexual battery. These three separate incidents occurred from May of 2021 until May of 2022.

On May 7, 2022, officers from the Escondido Police Department observed a known wanted felon in the parking lot of 1333 E Grand Ave. The male, Craig Blas, is a 32-year-old Escondido resident who had a felony no bail warrant for a Probation Violation.

Officers formed a plan to safely take Blas into custody. Upon seeing the uniformed officers, Blas ran from the officers. Officers quickly took Blas into custody and once arrested, Blas was in possession of a handgun magazine, three fake oxycodone pills that tested positive for fentanyl, a pistol red dot sight, and $738 in cash.

Additionally, officers had observed Blas throw something into a nearby car before running. Officers found an unserialized handgun (or “ghost gun”), 35.85 grams of methamphetamine, 235 fentanyl pills, 3.56 grams of powder fentanyl, a loaded magazine, a digital scale, and baggies consistent with the kind used to package illegal narcotics in the car. Based on the cash, quantity of drugs, scale, and baggies, Blas was arrested for his felony warrant, being suspected of selling narcotics, being a felon in possession of a firearm and

Many of you suggested, almost pleaded, that we hold a big whoopde-doo party and celebration to recognize his accomplishment . . . and we were perfectly willing to do so.

But Friedrichy is very shy. He does not welcome a lot of public attention and asked that any celebration be kept low key.

We respect his privacy and his wishes but also know that you, his devoted readers, want to know more about him.

We think we can respect his wishes for privacy and still deliver information that will help you know, appreciate, and love this guy as much as we do.

And it all happens next week.

PRCS stands for Post Release Community Supervision. The PRCS Act is a result of the passage of Propositions 47 and 57. This means that offenders released from prison shall only be released to parole if they most recently served time for serious or violent felonies, were serving a life term, are a High-Risk Sex Offender, or are a Mentally Disordered Offender.

Blas was previously arrested for possession of an assault rifle, and short barreled shotgun in 2017 and 2018.

Blas was released on parole in 2019 after being released from prison for drug and gun charges. Since his release in 2019, Blas has been arrested numerous times on parole holds and a variety of other charges. In 2020, he was arrested seven times for drug possession, weapons’ possession, and fleeing from police as well as parole holds. In 2021, he was arrested one more time for drugs and weapon charges, including suspected sales of narcotics. Blas was discharged from parole despite all of these arrests. He was then arrested for a probation violation in April 2022.

Chief Varso said, “Thanks to the diligent effort of the officers, a dangerous felon has once again been put in jail and his guns and drugs will be kept out of the hands of criminals and off the streets.”

fields until we reached the river. He sat in silence a long moment before resuming his narrative. Then he spoke in low tones, the Sioux words resonant in the morning quiet:

"The Sans Arc and Miniconjou camp circles were back from the ford. We found a low ridge along here and slid off our ponies to take whatever cover we could find. For the first time I saw five Sioux warriors racing down the coulee ahead of the soldiers. They were coming fast and dodging bullets the soldiers were firing at them. Then Bobtail Horse pointed to that bluff beside the ford.

On top were three Indians that looked like Crows from their hair style and dress. Bobtail Horse said, "'They are our enemies, guiding the soldiers here.'He fired his muzzle loader at them, then squatted behind the ridge to reload. I fired at them too, for I saw that they were shooting at the five Sioux warriors, who were now splashing across the ford at a dead run. My rifle was a repeater, so I kept firing at the Crows until these Sioux were safely on our side of the river. They had no guns, just lances and bows and arrows. But they got off their ponies and joined us behind the ridge. Just then I saw a Shahiyela named White Shield, armed with bow and arrow, come riding downriver. He was alone, but we were glad to have another fighting man with us. That made ten of us to defend the ford.

I looked across the ford and saw that the soldiers had stopped at the edge of the river. I had never seen white soldiers before, so I remember thinking how pink and hairy they looked.

[Note: this agrees with Peter Thompson, who said Custer briefly halted his men at the ford while he rode upriver alone about 1,000 feet, either to scout a better place to cross or to rape the Sioux squaw Curley had waiting there.] One white man had little hairs on his face [a mustache] and was wearing a big hat and a buckskin jacket. He was riding a fine looking big horse, a sorrel with a blazed face and four white stockings.

[Note: Although there were several officers in buckskin that day, Custer was the only one on a sorel horse with four white socks. The one detail that doesn’t agree with Peter Thompson’s account is that Thompson said Custer had taken his jacket off.] On one side of him was a soldier carrying a flag and riding a gray horse, and on the other was a small man on a dark horse. “This small man didn’t look much like a white man to me, so I gave the man in the buckskin jacket my attention.”

[Note: According to Pretty Shield, the “small dark man” was Mitch Bouyer, head of scouts.] He was looking straight at us across the river. Bobtail Horse told us all to stay hidden so this man couldn’t see how few of us there really were.

The man in the buckskin jacket seemed to be the leader of these soldiers, for he shouted something and they all came charging at us across

the ford. Bobtail Horse fired first, and I saw a soldier on a gray horse (not the flag carrier) fall out of his saddle into the water. The other soldiers were shooting at us now. The man who seemed to be the soldier chief was firing his heavy rifle fast. I aimed my repeater at him and fired.

I saw him fall out of his saddle and hit the water. [Note: Seventh Cavalry scout Curley described seeing the same incident, and Pretty Shield confirmed that Custer was shot out of the saddle at the very outset of the Custer fight. See Who Killed Custer – The Eye-witness Answer for more info.]

Shooting that man stopped the soldiers from charging on. They all reined up their horses and gathered around where he had fallen. I fired again, aiming this time at the soldier with the flag. I saw him go down as another soldier grabbed the flag out of his hands. By this time the air was getting thick with gunsmoke and it was hard to see just what happened.

The soldiers were firing again and again, so we were kept busy dodging bullets that kicked up dust all around. When it cleared a little, I saw the soldiers do a strange thing.

Some of them got off their horses in the ford and seemed to be dragging something out of the water, while other soldiers still on horseback kept shooting at us.

The ford at Medicine Tail Coulee where White Cow Bull shot an American officer on a “sorrel horse… with four white stockings” — who can only be George Custer — and watched him fall into the waters of the Little Bighorn, by David Humphreys Miller.

Suddenly we heard war cries behind us. I looked back and saw hundreds of Lakotas [Sioux) and Shahiyela warriors charging toward us. They must have driven away those other soldiers who had attacked the Hunkpapa camp circle and now were racing to help us drive off these attackers. The soldiers must have seen them too, for they fell back to the far bank of the river, and those still on horseback got off to fight on foot. As warriors rode up to join us at the ridge a big cry went up.

“Hoka hey!” the Lakotas were shouting. “They are going!”

I saw this was true. The soldiers were running back up the coulee and swarming out over the higher ground to the north. Bobtail Horse ran to his pony, shouting to us as we caught our ponies.

“Come on! They are running!

Hurry!”

He and I led the massed warriors across the ford, for the others knew we had stood bravely to protect the village and willingly followed us.

Another warrior named Yellow Nose, a Sapawicasa [Ute] who had been captured as a boy by the Shahiyela and had grown up with them, was very brave that day. After we chased the soldiers back from the ford, he galloped out in front of us and got very close to them, then raced back to safety.

Yellow Nose Shows His Power Against the Soldiers (from the Spotted Wolf – Yellow Nose Ledger Book)

I kept riding with the Shahiyelas, still hoping that some of them might tell Meotzi later about my courage.

We massed for another charge. The Shahiyela chief, Comes-in-Sight, and a warrior named Contrary Belly [Contrary Big Belly] led us that time. The soldiers’ horses were so frightened by all the noise we made that they began to bolt in all directions. The soldiers held their fire while they tried to catch their horses. Just then Yellow Nose rushed in again and grabbed a small flag [guidon] from where the soldiers had stuck it in the ground.

He carried it off and counted coup [struck blows] on a soldier with its sharp end. He was proving his courage more by counting that coup than if he had killed the soldier.

Now I saw the soldiers were split into two bands, most of them on foot and shooting as they fell back to higher ground, so we made no more mounted charges. I found cover and began shooting at the soldiers. I was a good shot and had one of the few repeating rifles carried by any of our warriors. It was up to me to use it the best way I could. I kept firing at the two bands of soldiers first at one, then at the other. It was hard to see through the smoke and dust, but I saw five soldiers go down when I shot at them.

Once in a while some warrior showed his courage by making a charge all by himself. I saw one Shahiyela, wearing a spotted war bonnet and a spotted robe of mountain-lion skins, ride out alone.

“He’s charging!” someone shouted.

He raced up to the long ridge where the soldiers of one band were making a defense standing there holding their horses and keeping up a steady fire. This Shahiyela charged in almost close enough to touch some of the soldiers and rode around in circles in front of them with bullets kicking up dust all around him. He came galloping back, and we all cheered him.

“Ah! Ah!” he said, meaning “yes” in Shahiyela.

Then he unfastened his belt and opened his robe and shook many spent bullets out on the ground…

The old man grinned at the memory of such courage.

It was a day of bravery — even for our soldier enemies. They all fought well and died in courage, except for one soldier on a sorrel horse. He broke away from the others and started riding off down the ridge.

Two Shahiyelas and a Lakota chased after him, shooting at him as they rode. But the soldier’s horse was fast and they couldn’t catch him. I saw him yank out his revolver and thought he was going to shoot back at these warriors. Instead he put the revolver to his head, pulled the trigger, and fell dead.

This may have been 2nd Lieutenant Henry M. Harrington, C. Company, whose body was never identified.

[Note: It is remotely possible that this suicide could also have been Custer himself. For more info on American suicides, see Who Killed Custer — The Eye-witness Answer.]

In a little while all my bullets were gone. But by that time the soldiers lay still. We had killed them all. The battle was over. Soon we were shouting victory yells. When the women and children heard us, they came out on the ridge to strip the bodies and catch some of the big horses the soldiers had ridden. Some women had lost husbands or brothers or sons in the fight, so they butchered the soldiers’ bodies to show their grief and anger.

I began looking for bullets and weapons in the piles of dead bodies.

Near the top of the ridge I saw a naked body and turned it over. The face had little hairs on it and looked like the white man who had worn the buckskin jacket and had fired at me across the ford — the same one I had shot off his horse. I remembered how close some of his bullets had come, so I thought I would take the medicine of his trigger finger to make me an even better shot. Taking out my knife. I began to cut off that finger.

Just then I heard a woman’s voice behind me. I turned to see Meotzi and Yellow Bird and an older Shahiyela woman standing there.

The older woman pointed to the while man’s body, saying: “He is our relative.”

Then she signed for me to go away. I looked at Meotxi then and smiled, but she didn’t smile back at me, so I wondered if she thought it was wrong for a warrior to be cutting on an enemy’s body. I decided she wouldn’t be as proud of me if I cut off the white man’s finger, and moved away.

Pretending to be busy looking for bullets, I glanced back. Meotxi was looking down at the body while the older woman poked her sewing awl deep into each of the white man’s ears. I heard her say: “So Long Hair will hear better in the Spirit Land.”

[Note: Cheyenne youth Dives Backward witnessed this scene — a warrior trying to cut a finger off a dead American who was driven away by two grieving squaws, one Monaseetah and one an old woman with an awl.]

That was the first I knew that Long Hair was the soldier chief we had been fighting and the white man I had shot at the ford…

The tribes had split up after their victory at Little Bighorn. White Cow Bull never saw Meotzi again after that summer. Perhaps because of her, he never took a wife. After that day in Montana I saw the old man several times at Charlie Thunder Bull‘s

cabin near Oglala, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, making three portraits of him before his death in 1942.

From “Echoes of the Little Bighorn”

by David Humphreys Miller, American Heritage, June 1971, an excerpt from Custer’s Fall: The Indian Side of the Story by David Humphreys Miller, University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, NE 1957. *** BRUCE BROWN’S NOTES:

THIS EYE-WITNESS account of the Battle of the Little Bighorn by Sioux warrior White Cow Bull is one of the three great Lost Texts — or perhaps I should say, Ignored Texts — of the Little Bighorn eyewitness canon (the others are the accounts of Peter Thompson and Pretty Shield).

From White Cow Bull we get three crucial parts of the Little Bighorn story.

First is the relationship between the Custer brothers (George Custer and his younger brother, Thomas) and their Southern Cheyenne prisonerof-war concubine, Monaseetah, and her illegitimate half-white son, Yellowtail (also described by Cheyenne warriors Brave Bear, Dives Backward, Rising Sun, Little Chief and Brave Wolf, but pretty much ignored by American historians, although Jeffry D. Wert does mention it in Custer: The Controversial Life of George Armstrong Custer).

Second is the way Monaseetah stopped White Cow Bull from mutilating George Custer’s corpse (ditto).

Third is the most important (and therefore the most ignored) part of White Cow Bull‘s story: his crucial eye-witness description of how he shot an officer on a “sorrel horse with… four white stockings” — who can only be Custer — at the outset of the Custer fight when the “Gray Horse Company” attempted to ford the river at Medicine Tail Coulee and attack the huge Sioux and Cheyenne village.

ALL THE MAJOR points of White Cow Bull‘s story are supported by other survivors’ accounts (witnesses are in parenthesis, with links to supporting portions of their eye-witness accounts of the battle)…

White Cow Bull said Custer‘s men charged down Medicine Tail Coulee to the banks of the Little Bighorn (witnessed by: White Man Runs Him, Curley, Pretty Shield, Bobtailed Horse, White Shield, Sitting Bull, Horned Horse, He Dog, Foolish Elk, Peter Thompson, John Martin, Anonymous Sixth Infantry Sergeant)…

White Cow Bull said three Crow scouts rode to the edge of the bluff above the river and fired down at them (witnessed by Goes Ahead, Hairy Moccasin)…

Page 6

White Cow Bull said Custer and his men were hotly pursuing a small band of Indians when they reached the river (witnessed by: Foolish Elk, George Bird Grinnell)…

White Cow Bull said Custer and his men encountered Indian fire from the other side of the river when they reached the Little Bighorn (witnessed by: Curley, Anonymous Sixth Infantry Sergeant, White Shield).

White Cow Bull said Custer and his men paused on the far side of the river when they reached the Little Bighorn (witnessed by: Peter Thompson, White Shield)…

White Cow Bull said after pausing the Americans charged across the Little Bighorn River to attack the Indian village on the other side (witnessed by Curley, Pretty Shield, Horned Horse, Elk Head, Seven Anonymous Hostiles.

White Cow Bull said the ford where Custer tried to cross the Little Bighorn was very thinly defended by the Sioux and Cheyenne (witnessed by: Bobtailed Horse, White Shield, He Dog, Wooden Leg, George Bird Grinnell)…

White Cow Bull said he was one of the few warriors there when Custer charged into the river and the Indians opened fire (witnessed by: Bobtailed Horse)…

White Cow Bull said that when the Americans tried to charge across the river at Medicine Tail Coulee, Custer rode at the head of the attack formation with the flag bearer and a “small man on a dark horse,” probably half-Sioux interpreter/scout Mitch Bouyer (witnessed by: Pretty Shield)…

White Cow Bull said a couple Seventh Cavalry troopers were shot out of the saddle and fell in the Little Bighorn before Custer‘s men could get across the river (witnessed by: Curley, Horned Horse, Pretty Shield, Soldier Wolf, Elk Head, Thomas LaForge, plus Sage, Hollow Horn Eagle and Brave Bird reported wounded American soldiers at the river after the battle, including Mitch Bouyer, the halfSioux interpreter/scout whom Pretty Shield said rode at Custer’s side)…

White Cow Bull said Custer — the officer on the “sorrel horse with… four white stockings” — was one of those shot while crossing the Little Bighorn River (witnessed by: Pretty Shield)…

White Cow Bull said Custer “fell in the water” of the Little Bighorn River (witnessed by: Pretty Shield)…

White Cow Bull said Custer‘s charge at Medicine Tail Coulee was suddenly stopped and repulsed midriver by the Cheyenne and Sioux defenders (witnessed by: Curley, George Glenn, Jacob Adams)…

Taken together, there is far more eye-witness corroboration and sup-

Homelessness: Proven Solutions

California has 12% of the nation’s population, yet we have 30% of the nation’s homeless. This administration has spent $17 billion on the problem, but the homeless population has surged. Californians are fed up.

There are solutions available, but current leadership won’t consider them. One thing is certain – throwing money at homelessness hasn’t worked. Take a look at San Francisco’s program to provide permanent supportive housing for the homeless. The City spent $160 million, but by all accounts the program has resulted in crime, death and chaos. Of 515 tenants tracked

by San Francisco, 25% died, 21% returned to homelessness, 27% are whereabouts unknown, and 25% found stable homes – mostly with friends, family or in subsidized housing. Overall, San Francisco’s homeless population increased by 56% since 2016.

Compare an alternative approach – the St. Johns Program for Real Change in Sacramento, which has served 30,000 women over the past 25 years. About 75% transitioned into permanent housing and 96% who completed vocational training left with non-subsidized jobs.

Locally, Solutions for Change has also been extremely successful in

serving homeless families throughout North County and beyond. The program has graduated over 1,250 parents and supported 2,500 children to equip, inspire and empower them to break the cycle of dependency and poverty.

Why the differing outcomes? Both the St. Johns Program and Solutions for Change require sobriety, while the “housing first” approach used in San Francisco and mandated by the state does not.

In fact, highly successful programs like Solutions and St. Johns are not eligible for any state funding because they require their clients/tenants to remain sober.

We need to use every tool available and fund proven programs. But simply providing housing without treating underlying problems like substance abuse and mental illness has not succeeded. The homeless population continues to grow, no matter how much we spend.

Youth Sports Grants

Last year, I introduced an effort at the Board of Supervisors to waive youth sports fees in San Diego County.

Kids have suffered greatly over the last two years, from virtual learning to not being able to play the sports they love. Youth sports participation is down in San Diego County, and I don’t want money to be the reason.

Through the action, the Board made the decision to allocate $2 million towards a grant program for youth sports and youth camp tuitions.

Managed by the County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation, this waiver program directly benefits participants in youth sports and camps that take place in San Diego’s unincorporated areas and at County-managed facilities.

There are two reimbursement levels, and these are based on a community’s score in the California Healthy Places Index (HPI). The HPI is a census tract-based index that evaluates all of the health indicators of a community, including economic standing, education level, housing availability and affordability, health care access, safe neighborhoods, clean environments and transportation/accessibility.

Funding categories, based on the applicant’s primary facility and/or mailing address:

Category 1: Eligible for full waivers and reimbursements of costs associated with registration, up to $100 per participant.

Category 2: Eligible for partial (50%) waivers and reimbursements of costs associated with registration, up to $50 per participant.

If you would like to learn more about the program send me an email, Jim.Desmond@sdcounty.ca.gov.

PROBLEM SOLVED

Q: I have a situation with Sunrun, a company that sells and installs solar panels. After discussing the need for a roof upgrade so that my roof was stable for solar panels, Sunrun began work in preparation for solar panel installation before they had a permit.

They stopped the roof work halfway through because they had no permit.

They had discovered that installation on my patio, which has two electrical fans, was not permitted. They had already removed tiles and set new tar paper down. They didn't put the tiles back.

When I started dealing with them, I made it very clear that the roof work was the only money I could afford. I am a newly retired teacher, single, and trying to reduce my monthly bills. I wanted to go solar to help the environment.

Since they abruptly stopped the project, I assumed it was canceled and asked who was going to put my roof tiles back. Then, one morning the roofers showed up and put the tiles back. After a brief conversation with a Sunrun employee, I thought the deal was now closed and done. A few weeks or a month later, I received a phone call from Sunrun asking me if I had canceled the project. Because the roof had been put back and all seemed closed. I said yes. What I should have said is that Sunrun halted the project. A few weeks after this I received a bill for $4,672 from Sunrun. Items that had not been done were also listed.

I began contacting the project manager, customer care, and the billing department. Nothing has been resolved. I do not know how to proceed. I want Sunrun to see that this bill should be rescinded. If they had done their due diligence about the permits as they said they would before they over eagerly pushed ahead, I would have never moved forward because I had made it very clear, I can't spend any more money.

-- Christine Miller, Hemet, Calif.

A: I'm so sorry to hear about your illfated solar panel installation. It sure sounds as if Sunrun missed a step or two before it started work. Since it abandoned your project, should you have to pay for it?

Yes and no. Sunrun did some work, but I'm troubled by the charges for work that it didn't do but charged you for anyway.

Normally, a contractor will pull the necessary permits before starting work. But in this case, it looks as if they started some preliminary work before applying for a permit. Once they realized they couldn't continue with the project, they stopped and sent you the bill.

It looks as if Sunrun didn't cancel the project. Instead, it wanted to resolve the permitting issue before continuing. But you didn't have the funds to fix the patio, so Sunrun agreed to cancel the project as long as you paid for the work already done.

I think a brief, polite email to Sunrun

Page 7

might have cleared up some of the confusion. Sunrun should have quickly removed the items it didn't do from your final bill.

I contacted Sunrun on your behalf. It agreed to reduce the amount of your bill by $2,336. You aren't happy with that resolution. You believe the permits were Sunrun's responsibility to procure, and that you shouldn't have to pay anything, and you've decided to consult a lawyer. I wish I could have done more for you.

TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER

Q: I recently booked a room at the Barceló, an all-inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. When I made the reservation, it listed breakfast, lunch and dinner as included in the rate. But when I read the confirmation, it only said breakfast was included.

I booked an all-inclusive hotel stay, and I'm concerned that I might have to pay for lunch and dinner. I've tried to contact Priceline but it hasn't answered the meal question. Can you help? -- Michael O'Connor, Toronto

A: You booked an all-inclusive resort, so your stay should be allinclusive -- breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I tried to make a reservation at the Barceló, too. Priceline lists it as an all-inclusive and advertises all three meals as being part of the room rate.

But when you look at the booking conditions on the page, only breakfast is included.

Your case is a reminder to always check the terms and conditions before you make a reservation. If you see any problems, you should get an answer before you pay for your hotel. If you'd done that, you might have skipped the Barceló and headed to another hotel where the terms were clearer.

I reviewed the Barceló site and was also confused. The property describes itself as an "all-inclusive" resort, which means all meals should be included. But your confirmation clearly states only breakfast is included.

This may be a good time to ask:

Historically Speaking

by Tom Morrow

Historic Events of the 20th Century

We are more than 20 years past the 20th Century, Here’s a look at each of its 10 decades for just a few of its highlights and top stories. Quite a number of events are missing, nevertheless, the following are thumbnail sketches of the century. This will give you a guide to add your personal important events. Today’s “thirty-somethings” have little or no memories of history’s most dynamic and war-torn century.

1900-1910: President William McKinley was assassinated in 1901, elevating Vice President Theodore Roosevelt into the White House.

Roosevelt captured the center of attention with his “trust-busting” crusades, transforming the nation’s business world, and the United States took up the construction of the Panama Canal.

1910-1920: The SS Titanic, the world’s largest and most luxurious cruise ship, sank on her maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic. The Panama Canal was completed, and in June 1914, the future leader of the Austria-Hungary Empire was assassinated by a Serbian gunman, triggering the First World War. Millions died in what was believed to be “the war to end all wars,”which ended on Nov. 11, 1918. It was a mere warm-up of what was to come two decades later.

1920-1930: Prohibition of liquor sales became federal law. Charles Lindbergh flew a solo non-stop flight from New York to Paris. The U.S., stock market crashed wiping out the fortunes of thousands triggering what led to a decade-long “Great Depression.”

1930-1940: Thousands of farmers migrated to the West coast as the “Dust Bowl” wiped out countless numbers of farms. Prohibition created lawbreakers who brewed illegal liquor for “bootlegging” sales which led to a series of gangland wars.

Charles and Anne Lindbergh’s baby boy was abducted and murdered, resulting in passage of an automatic federal death penalty for convicted kidnappers.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected president; his “New Deal” policies began to pull the U.S. out of the decade-long “Great Depression.” Prohibition ended, and on Sept. 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, triggering the Second World War, which became the 20th century’s most-deadly series of events.

1940-1950: On Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor pulling the U.S. into World War II. On June 4-6, the Battle of Midway turned the tide for the U.S. in the Pacific and on “D-Day,” June 6, 1944, the world’s largest-ever amphibious assault took place on

Normandy coast, France’s However the European war was nearly lost during the Battle of the Bulge in the late winter of 1945, FDR died on April 12, 1945.

Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945. President Harry Truman approved dropping two atom bombs on Japan, no doubt the most important decision of the century.

Those bombs ended the War on Aug. 14, 1945 with Japan’s surrender. World War II transformed the U.S. from a sleepy, isolated agrarian nation to a great industrial and military world power.

1950-1960: The Korean “police action” began, pulling the U.S., and other United Nations back into combat against North Korea and ultimately “Red” China.

Communism from the Soviet Union triggered a “Cold War” as Russia dropped an “Iron Curtain” around central European nations.

Americans spent the remainder of the decade worried about a nuclear war with Russia. U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy forced Congressional hearings to hunt down so-called “communist sympathizers.” Spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. And, in October 1957, Russia launched the first satellite into space; the U.S. lagged months behind, but in late 1960, the Soviets put a man into space.

1960-1970: The U.S. achieved manned space flights. U.S. Sen. John F. Kennedy was elected president only to be assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, with Vice President Lyndon Johnson becoming president The U.S. sent troops and military aid to South Vietnam in an effort to stop communist North Vietnam from taking control of the South. Race riots against the Vietnam War marred much of the decade; Congress passed the history-making 1964 Civil Rights law.

And, the biggest event of the decade: American astronauts landed on the Moon.

1970-1980: President Richard Nixon resigned from office after a series of illegal acts surrounded by the Watergate scandal. Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter was elected president. Race riots continued periodically throughout the decade.

1980-1990: California Gov. Ronald Reagan was elected president, but an attempted assassination marred the first year of his presidency. The U.S. space shuttles went into service, but after a number of successful missions, “Challenger” blew up killing all crewmembers.

1990-2000: President George H.W. Bush launched “Operation Desert Storm” against Iraq for invading neighboring Kuwait. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton was elected president and was impeached for sexual misconduct. At the turn of the century, George W. Bush was elected president by defeating Vice President Al Gore in a tight election. George “W” won the presidency with the most electoral votes despite Gore getting more than a million popular votes. The socalled heavily invested “dot com” tech companies lost millions.

port for White Cow Bull‘s story than any of the other possible Custer kill stories in the eye-witness record of the battle. So White Cow Bull‘s story is not only the first and best of the possible Custer kill stories, it is also the best supported.

In fact, the only point of difficulty with White Cow Bull‘s story involves a couple small details; e.g., both Peter Thompson and Soldier said Custer had taken off his buckskin jacket and was riding in his shirt sleeves, while White Cow Bull said the officer he shot was wearing a buckskin jacket.

But who knows? Thompson and Soldier‘s observations were made earlier, and maybe Custer put his jacket back on for the attack. Either way, Custer was the only Seventh Cavalry officer on a sorrel horse with four white socks.

SO WHITE COW BULL‘s first account of the Battle of the Little Bighorn provides the eye-witness answer to the seemingly endless question — who killed George Armstrong Custer? See Who Killed Custer – The Eye-Witness Answer for more info. White Cow Bull‘s brief second account deals with the Siege of the Greasy Grass the day after the Battle of the Little Bighorn, when he shot the heel off the boot of an American soldier, probably Frederick Benteen or William Slaper.

Based on these two accounts — both supported by many other eye-witness accounts — you could argue that White Cow Bull was the most important warrior at the Battle of the Little Bighorn for two shots he fired, one of which he hit (Custer) and one of which he barely missed (Benteen), for the outcome of those two shots decided first the fate of Custer and his men, and subsequently the fate of Benteen and Reno and their men as well.

Regarding Custer‘s attempt to charge across the Little Bighorn and attack the Indian village on June 25, 1876, David Humphreys Miller wrote: “The fight at the ford was described to me by White Cow Bull and Bobtail Horse [AKA Bobtailed Horse], both of whom lived to be quite old. Custer‘s fall at mid-river was witnessed simultaneously by White Cow Bull and the three Crow scouts, although White Cow Bull did not know Custer‘s identity at the time. The account of the Crows was passed on to me by Pretty Shield, widow of Goes Ahead, with whom I had my first interview in 1940 when she was almost eighty-two years of age.”

The Santa Margarita Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, recently had a field trip to the Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside. Members and guests gathered in a shaded area in front of the Mission while Helena Hazleton, Museum Director, gave a bit of history about the Mission - its beginning in 1798 by the Franciscan Friars; ensuing turbulent years after abandonment; and its restoration after President Lincoln returned it to the church in 1865. After visiting the inner courtyard, where the rose garden was in full bloom, and the historic pepper tree, the group headed to the chapel and the cemetery for another bit of history. The

later known as John Yellowbird Steele and was the proprietor of a store in Porcupine, SD, called Yellowbird’s Store, which still exists. “He lived long,” she said, “and had success.”

Here is Brave Bear‘s commentary on Custer, Monaseetah and Yellow Bird, and here is another recollection of Monaseetah by Dives Backward, Rising Sun, Little Chief, and Black Wolf.

Regarding Yellow Bird‘s parentage, the case for his father being Capt.

Thomas Custer rather than his illustrious brother, Gen. George A. Custer, rests on the assumption that the gonorrhea that George A. purportedly contracted while at West Point left him sterile and therefore incapable of fathering child. “He was shooting blanks,” cackled one old soldier. *** Although not born into the Teton Sioux, David Humphreys Miller was adopted late in life by both Iron Hail and One Bull, and like the other Sioux, Cheyenne and Crow chroniclers in 100 Voices (Ohiyesa, John Stands In Timber, William Bordeaux, Pretty Shield, Bird Horse, George Bird Grinnell), he had unique access to important particpants in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, some of whom left no other record, such as White Cow Bull and Drags The Rope.

Miller frequenlty made pastel sketches of the Sioux survivors of the Battle of the Little Bighorn whom he interviewed. Some of Miller‘s portraits are exceptionally fine evocations of the historic personalities in their own right, such as his portraits of Lazy White Bull and Old Eagle and Black Elk late in life.

What's the big deal about a resort being all-inclusive? It's not just the money you'll save on meals. In some of these resort areas, there are limited dining options, so you have to eat every meal at the hotel. And that could easily double your hotel bill, depending on the size of your party.

So sometimes all-inclusive is the best way to go.

But the point is, Barceló promised you an all-inclusive experience, which then disappeared.

I think you could have reached out to an executive at Priceline for clarification. on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.

I contacted Priceline on your behalf.

The company reached out to your hotel, which verified that your rate was all-inclusive. "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are free," the representative added.

OK, "free" is probably the wrong word here. But they're certainly included.

May is National Chip Your Pet Month, so there’s no better time to ensure your pet has the protection they need in case they become lost.

Sadly, one out of every three pets gets lost during their lifetime, and only one in 10 lost pets are found. If your pet needs a microchip, inquire about availability at our campuses or talk to your vet about scheduling a microchip appointment. Don't forget to update your contact info with your microchipping company if your information changes!

Simba had been missing from his Murrieta home for almost 6 months when he ended up at our Escondido Campus of the San Diego Humane Society as a stray. His family had all but given up hope after searching for him for months. Fortunately, Simba was microchipped and we were able to reunite him with his very happy family!

The sun was setting over Sedgwick County, Kansas, like an orange billiard ball. She was about to quit folding and call her kids for supper when…She heard something.

It was shouting. In the distance.

First, a woman’s voice, cheering.

Then, more voices. Pretty soon, the whole neighborhood was filled with commotion. Screen doors slapped shut. People were chattering. Some were cheering, weeping, shouting, laughing, applauding.

Sandy’s phone rang. It was a neighbor. “Turn on your radio, Sandy!” the neighbor said. “Now!”

No. I don’t guess she will.

Another Graphic Comment from Long-Time Reader Dennis Galt:

Outside, someone was shooting fireworks across the neighborhood.

Bells were clanging. Automotive horns were honking. Neighbors were doing the Foxtrot right in the street.

“My mother held us all close that night,” said Sandy’s daughter, Olivia, who still remembers the day vividly. “Mama told us, ‘Daddy’s coming home. Daddy’s coming home, sweetie.’”

Victory in Europe was by no means the end of the war. It would be four months until Japan surrendered to the Allies in Tokyo Bay. But it was a beginning. The beginning. It was the biggest day in many people’s lives.

V-E Day was observed yesterday.

But you heard so little about it that you might have missed it. I did.

People rarely talk about it anymore.

It’s not mentioned on newscasts or in papers. Not many school kids know what happened 77 years ago, and the nation’s 24 V-E-Day memorials report fewer visitors each year.

It’s just another date on the calendar.

But not all have forgotten, says Olivia. “I haven’t. It was the day I found out my daddy was coming

About the Cover Story . . . “Where Are all All the Colored People” in the May 12th, 2022 issue of The Paper:

Colored People?" (May 12 issue) so brilliantly researched and written by your writer Friedrich Gomez!

Radical political correctness is destroying the soul and spirit of America today! It is damned well causing the downfall of this country.

This PC cancer is seeding divisiveness at the expense of our Freedom of Speech and raping us from our sacred religious convictions, and our inherent "right to disagree."

So why is PC still killing America from within, by firing people from their jobs in all 50 U. S. states, and causing millions of Americans to fear for their livelihood and the bare essentials to, literally, survive, eat, and shelter themselves -- just because they accidentally misspoke?

God Almighty, what has this country come to? Bravo to The Paper. I was shocked & unaware of the high-profile cases The Paper cited, and the prevalence of this happening across America!

/s/ Caroline Douglas family, friends & coworkers, Encinitas, Oceanside, San Marcos, Escondido.

The sounds of cheering outside got louder. There were the sounds of banging pots and pans, ringing in the distance. Faraway shotguns were sounding the report of victory.

Sandy began to cry. Not a small cry, either, but a big one. One of her children entered the kitchen and tried to speak to her, but all Sandy could do was mutter, “Oh, thank God,” between sobs. “Thank God.”

She collapsed and wept.

I have received three phone calls at home (I'm listed) asking for assistance in locating places in that country. All three persons are of Ukrainian heritage, as am I. Two of the calls were from readers in Vista, and one was from San Marcos.

Sandy cranked up the volume. The announcer spoke. “...This is Morgan Beatty in the NBC newsroom, in Washington, with important news. We are announcing that, as of thirty-one minutes ago, it is VE Day in Europe and in America…

Victory.”

The radio announcer said: “...Prime Minister Winston Churchill says, all German military forces will cease fighting at midnight tonight. No more men will die by the hands of German troops…”

A Weekly Message from the Mayor of Your Community published in the belief that it is important for elected leaders to communicate with their constituents and that constituents have a means of hearing from their elected leaders.

San Marcos • Mayor Rebecca Jones Honk Less, Wave More, Ride Safe!

In San Marcos, we encourage everyone who travels on our roads – whether in a car, on a bike or on foot – to be kind, courteous and safe. We believe horns are tools for safe driving, not aggressive driving. And we believe that the 'rules of the road' apply to every road user, including e-bikes.

Together, we can all do our part to honk less, wave more and ride safe in our community.

Read San Marcos’ top manners that matter on our roads and visit the Honk Less, Wave More, Ride Safe webpage at www.sanmarcos.net/honklesswavemore.

Traffic lights, signs and signals apply to all road users, including • e-bike riders.

Signal your turn. It’s not only safe, it’s polite.

• • Red lights are not optional, and yellow lights don’t mean speed up.

• Traffic happens. Speeding and weaving are not the answer.

• Shine your headlights proudly, but not in another driver’s eyes.

Let cars merge. Blocking takes more energy and won’t get you • there any faster.

• Wave “thank you” when someone is kind to you on our roads.

Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara Greetings Escondido,

Last week I talked about our financial challenges. This week I want to talk about why I love living in Escondido.

I went to the EUSD sponsored smART festival at the CCAE. It was a celebration and display of our youths’ creative talent. There was music, paintings and “sculptures.” It was really impressive! The skill sets of our youth made me glad I don’t have to compete with them. I also was impressed by the dedication of our teachers, and parents who work to bring out their creativity. It was one of those events where you knew you were just looking at the tip of the iceberg. A big shout out to the dedicated professionals of our EUSD. I also attended the Cinco de Mayo celebration at Grape Day Park. If you’ve never been, I would really encourage you to go. It is fun, festive, and filled with great music and delicious foods. I really enjoyed watching the celebration of our rich cultural diversity. The dancers from the Ballet Folklorico troupes were great, and they even had some belly dancers on the stage. Now I know most of us don’t associate belly dancers with the holiday, but the dancers’ enthusiasm was infectious and enjoyed by all.

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

Semper Fi, Mac Paul P. McNamara Mayor of Escondido pmcnamara@escondido.org

Chuckles Cont. from Page 2

I had so many pimples when I was a kid....well, one day I fell asleep in a library. I woke up and some blind man was reading my face.

And we were poor, too. Why, if I wasn't born a boy I'd have had nothing to play with!

And my sex life? Forget it! My wife put a mirror over the dog's bed!

Actually, she did put the mirror over our bed. She says she likes to watch herself laugh.

This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the Fruit of the Loom guys laughing at me. I'm such a lousy lover I once caught a peeping tom booing me. My wife, in fact has told me that she has sex with me for a purpose. Last night she used me to time an egg.

Life has always been rough for me with women. Before I got married a lady called me up one day and said...."Come on over...there's nobody home." I went over.

Nobody was home!

Another time a hooker told me she had a headache!

I even went to a massage parlor once. It was self service.

Ah...it's terrible, terrible I tell ya!

Why...my only thrill is self inflicted hickies.

In fact, if it wasn't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all.

I remember once making love to this girl and she starts crying. "Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?", I asked. "No!", she said, "I hate myself now"!

She was no prize package either.

She showed up with pigtails under

her arms.

Man! She was ugly!! So ugly that they used her in prisons to cure sex offenders.

Why, one time I took her to the top of the Empire State Building and planes started to attack her!

The last time I saw a mouth like hers it had a hook in it.

Ah, but that was the good old days.

Now I'm married. Things are different. But not much. During sex, for example, my wife always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel.

Another night I was tired and went to the bar to have a few drinks. The bartender asked me..."What'll you have?" I said..."surprise me." He showed me a naked picture of my wife.

Even when I try to be considerate it backfires. Once in a restaurant I made a toast to her. "To the best woman a man ever had!" The waiter joined me.

It's been a rough day. I got up this morning...put on a shirt and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase and the handle came off. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

Even the professional community puts me down. I went to see my doctor, Dr. Al Bendova.....I told him once..."Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror....I feel like throwing up; what's wrong with me?"

He said..."I don't know but your eyesight is perfect!"

I remember I swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. He told me to have a

to America’s mediocre education system and crushing student loan debts.

“Z” generation’s most recognizable general characteristics are a mindnumbing self absorption and the tendency to wander into traffic while smart-phone shaming others on Twitter.

The Computer Factory 845 W. San Marcos Blvd 760-744-4315 thecomputerfactory.net "High Tech with High Touch “Derek the Great”

This week we shine the spot light on our senior technician Derek Rheinhart, AKA “Derek the Great.”

Nome and I, as well as our customers have come to appreciate Derek for his amazing depth of knowledge in electronic devices and applications. Derek is always willing to share his expertise and patience in helping our customer solve problems and reach solutions.

Derek was born a “last gasp Millennial’ in late 1995. By a mere 13 months he escaped being born into the “Z” generation. “Millennials” tend to be socially conscious, tech savvy, entrepreneurial and diverse. On the negative side “Millennials” can be somewhat hobbled by over-exposure

Derek avoided the twin threats of institutionalized mediocrity and student debt by following Timothy Leary’s 1966 advice to “Turn on, tune in and drop out.” That strategy isn’t for everyone but for Derek it was the right choice. Drop-outs like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Derek the Great shoved formal education aside to follow their passion for the new and emerging computer technologies. Derek’s interest was kindled by a hand-me-down 286 PC when he was nine years old.

He began building PCs in his early teens. Derek successfully passed the GED and dropped out of high school after his sophomore year to pursue his interest in PCs and their applications.

almost never able to provide informed answers to customer inquiries so Derek would step in with sound advice and offer his service as a computer technician. Derek further informed me that he had continued this practice for several years after joining us at The Computer Factory. He said he would hand out our business card and invite Fry’s customers to stop by our shop. I said I was surprised that Fry’s tolerated this practice. “They didn’t”, Derek said “they barred me from the store about the time “the shark” died”.

Now the five foot shark that lived in the big “reef tank” at the stores main

entrance was a legend at Fry’s. Fry’s employees regarded “the shark” as a mascot and good luck charm. It was rumored that if anything ever happened to “the shark”, Fry’s was doomed. When “the shark” died suddenly, a gloomy cloud descended on Fry’s employees. Nome had been listening quietly to our conversation.

Shaking her head she looked directly at Derek and said “Did you have anything to do with the shark’s dying?”

Derek smiled and turned back to his computer. Quietly he hummed the theme from “Jaws”, zump zump zump zump zump zump. I guess we’ll never know.

In his teens, as an independent contractor, Derek made spending money by bidding on IT contracts offered on the Internet. Derek’s grandmother was in the habit of saving our weekly column from “The Paper” for him. After shopping at Fry’s one day in 2015, while idling at the stoplight at San Marcos Blvd and Bent Ave, Derek noticed The Computer Factory sign in the San Marcos Center. On a whim Derek pulled up in front of our store and walked in to enquire if we were hiring.

The rest is history.

Years later I asked Derek what he was doing at Fry’s the day we hired him.

Derek said he often hung out in the PC area at Fry’s trolling for business.

Derek explained that Fry’s minimum wage “computer doofusses” were

I told my dentist my teeth are going yellow. He told me to wear a brown necktie.

My psychiatrist told me I'm going crazy. I told him.."If you don't mind, I'd like a second opinion."

He said..."Alright...you're ugly too!"

Boy, does time fly! Like, you know it's 'almost Halloween? It scares the hell out of me. People in the neighborhood send their kids out looking like me. Hell, last year one kid tried to rip my face off. Now it's different....when I answer the door the kids hand me candy.
