There are many holidays honoring our fallen soldiers: Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Veterans Day. This holiday time was instituted so we as a country could not only reflect on the great multitude of men, women and children who gave their lives fighting in the name of freedom, but also to remember the loved ones that were left behind and lost them in the name of that same freedom over the last 239 years.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love a good sale just as much as the next person. But I wonder when and why the dates set aside to honor the soldiers who fought or died to make and keep us free, were turned into consumer events?

Whatever happened to the reflection and solemn reverence we should show and have for those who have fallen in the fight for our liberty and freedoms?

I remember as a young child in school, how each morning before class officially started, we would stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

I was honored as I stood with my hand placed over my heart and recited the words, and yes, we said, "Under God," loudly and proudly, and there was never a problem. I teared up every time I said those words. And I still do.

We not only learned about our nation's history, but the history and importance of our flag as well. We were schooled about our country's early beginnings, from the Pilgrim's landing on Plymouth Rock, the Revolutionary War, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Spanish/American War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II and Korea.

"The United States flag does not fly because the wind moves past it...

The United States flag flies from the last breath of each military member who has died protecting it." unknown

Many of us, including myself had fathers, grandfathers, or other relatives, or knew someone who had fought in the more modern or current wars. We heard from our classmates about their brave and gallant ancestors who fought colonial battles to help give our country its freedom and independence.

Decoration Day, which was later changed to Memorial Day, to my shame, I never knew exactly how and when the holiday began. As a young child I remember celebrating "Decoration Day" by making dozens of paper flowers to decorate the headstones of the soldiers in our town's local cemetery.

I always took it for granted and believed "Memorial Day" had begun to honor the men and women of World War II. I was recently surprised when I learned the holiday was actually begun as a way to honor the soldiers who lost their lives during the battles of the Civil War. The holiday ini-

tially honored only the dead Union soldiers, and was later changed to honor the lost and fallen on both sides. ` There are many varying opinions and documentation over where and when the first "Decoration Day" took place.

‘Memorial Day’ Cont. from Page 1

With so many cities and states vying for first place, the only consistent fact is that the first memorial did indeed occur after the end of the Civil War.

There were many cruel atrocities which occurred during the war between the North and the South, with high casualties mounting on both sides. Black, white, men, women, children and the elderly perished. No one was safe.

Houses, churches, and barns were seized as barracks to house soldiers, or to imprison enemy captives. Because of the enormity of the racetracks, and the ever increasing number of prisoners of war, many of these locations within the south were converted to prisoner of war camps. They were notorious for their cruelty and labeled as death camps, because the Confederacy housed Union soldiers in deplorable conditions. More often than not, the detained soldiers lived on the unprotected interior of the racetrack, seeking any form of shelter, living in trenches at times hoping to obtain any relief from the harsh weather conditions.

Many of the imprisoned soldiers perished due to exposure, starvation and disease, and were buried hastily and unceremoniously in mass graves.

Harold

Because of Harold's stupidity and clumsiness, his teacher was always yelling at him, "You're driving me mad, Harold.”

One day Harold's Mom came to school to check on how he was doing.

The teacher told his mom honestly that her son was simply a disaster, getting very low marks, and that she had never seen such a stupid boy in her entire teaching career.

The mom was shocked at the feedback and withdrew her son from school and moved out of Detroit, relocating to Cleveland.

camp was the Washington Race Course and Jockey Club, located in Charleston, South Carolina.

The area would later be renamed Hampton Park. The war began for the port town of Charleston in the April of 1861. Four years later, the town would lie in ruins.

Death and destruction were everywhere. Ironically, new life sprang forth, as flowers blanketed the fields and wooded areas where death and carnage previous lay.

At the end of the Civil War, the first troops to enter Charleston singing songs of liberation were the 21st U.S. Colored Infantry whose commander accepted the city's formal article of surrender.

After freeing the prisoners of the Washington Race Course death camp, the gruesome discovery of a mass grave was made by soldiers of the 21st. The grave, discovered due to the overwhelming stench of decaying bodies, contained the remains of over 257 Union soldiers, who in various stages of decomposition had been buried behind the racetrack's grandstand.

The black soldiers who made the discovery and the local slaves were sickened and shocked at the appalling way the Union soldiers had been treated. A crew of over 28 black workmen went back to the racetrack armed with picks and shovels in order to properly re-bury the Union dead. A cemetery was created at the interior of the racetrack to give them the rest and peace they had been pre-

20 years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an almost incurable cardiac disease.

All the doctors strongly advised her to have heart surgery, which only one surgeon at the Cleveland hospital could perform. Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was successful.

When she opened her eyes after the surgery she saw the famous doctor smiling down at her. She wanted to thank him, but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something, but quickly died.

The doctor was shocked, wondering what went wrong so suddenly.

Then the doctor turned around and saw our friend Harold, a janitor in the hospital, who had unplugged the life-support equipment in order to connect his vacuum cleaner.

Please don't tell me you thought Harold became a heart-surgeon.

viously denied.

After the workers honored them with crosses as grave markers, they enclosed the small cemetery with a high white washed fence and constructed an arched entry inscribed with the words, "Martyrs of the Race Course."

When the work at hand was completed, a parade was amassed with a mixture of 10,000 black Charlestonians, men, women and children, white missionaries, and teachers, all coming together to honor the fallen, which died in the name of freedom.

Thousands of former black slaves remained in Charleston and began performing small memorials at all the gravesites throughout the city proper and the surrounding countryside. The decorated graves were blanketed with flowers and greenery.

Of all the decorating memorials that took place, the most well known was the one on May 1, 1865, at the Washington Race Course. After the re-burial of the 257 soldiers who were placed in individual graves at the small cemetery on the racetrack's infield, the dead were honored in an extraordinary way.

The procession of 10,000 was led by 3,000 black school children, arms laden with roses, as they marched and sang "John Brown's Body." They were followed closely behind by hundreds of black

women walking solemnly carrying baskets of flowers, crosses and wreaths. Bringing up the rear was an assembly of black and white Union infantry soldiers, black ministers, and a mixture of white citizens and freed slaves.

Songs led by the missionaries were sung en masse, as the group paraded around the infield, ending with a prayer vigil held at the small cemetery.

As many people as possible squeezed into the cemetery enclosure, while the children's choir sang, "The Star Spangled Banner" and "We'll Rally Around the Flag," as well as several spiritual songs. The ministers took turns reading passages from the Bible before the assembled mass came together to pray as one.

After the prayer service, each and every grave and marker was decorated with the massive amounts of ribbons, crosses, wreaths and flowers brought to honor them, followed by picnics and speeches.

Before the name was changed to Memorial Day, Decoration Day emerged as a National holiday three years later, in 1868.

General John A. Logan called on the nation to honor all the graves of the dead soldiers by holding ceremonies and decorating their graves with flowers. The first official celebration of the holiday

Remember When?

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him.

He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

“What’s the matter, dear?” she whispers as she steps into the room. “Why are you down here at this time of night?”

The husband looks up from his coffee, “It’s the 20th Anniversary of the day we met.”

She can’t believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.

The husband continues, “I was 18 and you were only 16,” he says solemnly. Once again, the wife is touched to tears. “Yes, I remember”, she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.

“Do you remember when your Dad caught us in the back seat of my car with no clothes on?”

was May 30, 1868.

In his speech commemorating the day as a national day of memory, reflection and honor, General Logan is quoted as stating: If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well, as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us.

There were 620,000 casualties in the Civil War that included Union and Confederate soldiers, and civilian men, women, children, and slaves, compared to the 602,000 American deaths in all the wars combined through the Korean conflict. The only singular war with the loss of more American soldiers' lives was World War II, with 405,399 dead.

However, the statistics for the Vietnam War are staggering, with 58,220, U.S. casualties and 303,644 American wounded.

There were in excess of 1.4 million casualties and over 2 million wounded on both sides combined.

And sadly, there were 4 million combined civilian casualties.

According to CBS News, 3.5 million people visit the Vietnam Memorial each year and there are over 1 million visitors to the Gettysburg Memorial.

In 1966, President Lyndon B.

‘Chuckles’ Cont. from Page 2

Johnson recognized the town of Waterloo, New York, as the birthplace of Memorial Day. His decision was based on a memorial held there on May 5, 1866, a full year after that auspicious day in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 1, 1865.

The first official 'National' Memorial Day holiday was designated by Congress in 1971.

However, it was the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 that moved not only Lincoln and Washington's birthdays, but Memorial Day and Veterans Day to Mondays.

I believe the solemnity and true meaning of the holidays honoring our veterans was lost when the original date was changed to give federal employees a three day weekend in order to celebrate the holiday. Just as we no longer celebrate Abraham Lincoln and George Washington's birthdays on the correct dates, Martin Luther King's birthday has also been moved to Monday.

As I stated earlier, I don't want you to get me wrong, I love a good sale just as much as the next person. I just don't feel the percentage we save on an item should take precedence over the percentage of lives lost. What happened to the reflection and reverence for our fallen freedom fighters?

“Yes, I remember,” said the wife, lowering herself into the chair beside him.

Commentary Fire Department Negligence?

My battery of high-priced attorneys at Dewey, Cheatham and Howe would have had a field day had a recent scenario played out a bit differently.

Background: I'm a type II diabetic. As such, I have to monitor my blood sugar each morning, mid-day, and evening. Ideally, my blood sugar levels should be somewhere between 80 and 100.

Tuesday evening/Wedneday morning . . . somewhere around midnight to 1am, I check my blood sugar and it was a whopping 588. Higher than it had ever been before!

Mindful of the admonition to "go to the Emergency Room if your blood sugar is over 400," I promptly rejected that advice.

Why? I don't like sitting in the ER waiting room for 2-3 hours, then having a nurse check me every two hours and giving me insulin. All of that I can do at home.

But 588 is considerably higher than 400. I felt I needed some guidance. So I did as instructed, "if you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911."

My concern was real because I was aware that high blood sugars can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

911 answers and refers me to the Fire Department dispatcher. I describe the situation and a very nice and efficient dispatcher says, "we need to have a medic come out and evaluate you. They'll take your blood pressure, check your blood sugars, and determine whether you should be transported by ambulance to the hospital. It is your call as to whether you agree to be transported."

"They only charge if they transport, right?"

"Correct."

"Okay. I'll agree to have a medic come check me out. I prefer no lights and sirens, however. Low key,"

The husband continued. “Do you remember when he shoved that shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or I will send you to the Pen for 20 years?”

“I remember that, too,” she replied softly.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, “I would have gotten out of prison today.”

GOD to ST. FRANCIS

Frank , ... You know all about gardens and nature. What in the world is going on down there on the planet? What happened to the dandelions, violets, milkweeds and stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect no-maintenance garden plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought and multiply with abandon.

The nectar from the long-lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honey bees and flocks of songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of colors by now.

But, all I see are these green rectangles.

St. FRANCIS: It's the tribes that settled there, Lord. The Suburbanites. They started calling your flowers 'weeds' and went to great lengths to kill them and replace them with grass.

GOD: Grass? But, it's so boring. It's not colorful. It doesn't attract butterflies, birds and bees; only grubs and sod worms. It's sensitive to temperatures.

Do these Suburbanites really want all that grass growing there?

ST. FRANCIS: Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it green. They begin each spring by fertilizing grass and poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn.

GOD: The spring rains and warm weather probably makes grass grow really fast. That must make the Suburbanites happy.

FRANCIS: Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it grows a little, they cut it-sometimes twice a week.

GOD: They cut it? Do they then bale it like hay?

FRANCIS: Not exactly, Lord.

Most of them rake it up and put it in bags.

GOD: They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it?

ST. FRANCIS: No, Sir, just the opposite. They pay to throw it away.

GOD: Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize grass so it will grow. And when it does grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away?

ST. FRANCIS: Yes, Sir.

GOD: These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back on the rain and turn up the heat.

That surely slows the growth and saves them a lot of work.

FRANCIS: You aren't going to believe this, Lord. When the grass stops growing so fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water it, so they can continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it.

GOD: What nonsense. At least they kept some of the trees.

That was a sheer stroke of genius, if I do say so myself.

The trees grow leaves in the spring to provide beauty and shade in the summer. In the autumn, they fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep moisture in the soil and protect the trees and bushes. It's a natural cycle of life.

FRANCIS: You better sit

down, Lord. The Suburbanites have drawn a new circle. As soon as the leaves fall, they rake them into great piles and pay to have them hauled away.

GOD: No!? What do they do to protect the shrub and tree roots in the winter to keep the soil moist and loose?

ST. FRANCIS: After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy something which they call mulch. They haul it home and spread it around in place of the leaves.

GOD: And where do they get this mulch?

ST. FRANCIS: They cut down trees and grind them up to make the mulch.

resignation of San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts to resign, if the allegations against him are true.

A number of allegations of improper conduct have been leveled by several of previous high ranking staff members within Robert’s office.

Abed, a Republican, released a statement in which he suggested the first term Democrat should consider stepping down.

Roberts’ former staffers allege the first-term supervisor used his county-funded office for campaign purposes and created a hostile work environment.

On Wednesday. now-former scheduler Diane Porter filed a formal claim that said Roberts had staff members help him secure political endorsements, used public money to maintain an inappropriate relationship with his driver, and asked his staff members to mislead the county’s Human Resources Department about claims against him in exchange for raises and promotions.

Roberts has expressed concern about the allegations but has not yet addressed them.

Four staffers from his office have resigned. In addition to Porter, his chief of staff Glynnis Vaughan, deputy chief of staff Lindsey Masukawa and administrative assistant Brittany Shaw, all have resigned.

Escondido is in the third district and is represented by Roberts. Whether Abed has any designs on running for the Supervisor position should Roberts step down is unknown.

Abed, however, said he’s not speaking out because of any sort of interest in replacing Roberts on the board; he said his motives are based on his city’s need for honest representation in county government.

As you know, residents living in unincorporated areas are receiving a tax bill incorrectly labeled the “California Fire Prevention Fee.” Unfortunately, this tax has much more to do with budgeting than it does with fighting fires.

Article 13A, section 3(a) of the California Constitution, as amended by Proposition 26, reads: “Any change in state statute which results in any taxpayer paying a higher tax must be … passed by not less than two-thirds of all members elected to each of the two houses of the Legislature.”

Section 3(b) then defines “tax” to mean “any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by the State,” unless it fits one of five listed exceptions.

The fire tax was designated a fee, allowing passage by a simple majority. In response, last session I co-authored legislation to overturn the tax.

Unfortunately, that legislation failed due to majority party opposition. This ses-

The government can literally claim everything you own: Your home, Social Security check, CD’s, Investments, everything. Wiped Out! Revocable Living Trusts don’t help! There are strategies to protect you from financial disaster even if you don’t have or don’t qualify for nursing home insurance.

‘Commentary’ Cont. from Page 3

"That's their decision to make, sir."

I wait for about 10 minutes, which seems a long time for a First Responder to arrive, before both an ambulance and a fire engine arrives at my front door. Per my request, however, they arrived without lights or siren.

About five or six very fit, very handsome men, seemingly sent

by Central Casting, all dressed in their firefighter uniforms, troop to my door, at least one of whom had a trauma kit, ready for whatever medical condition might present itself.

Our pups are barking at the newly arrived visitors. They are harmless, but noisy. The pups, I mean. Not the firefighters.

A handsome gent, apparently the Captain, asks if I'm the patient. I confirmed I was and described the situation.

"Well, we don't check out patients or treat them on the scene. If you need treatment we're here to transport you to the hospital."

"But, why would the dispatcher say a medic would come, check my blood pressure and blood sugars, evaluate me and then determine if I should be transported to the hospital," sez me.

"Because she's a dispatcher," sez the Captain, with a sardonic grin (which I thought was a disrespectul and sexist thing to say about the dispatcher, in whom I had placed my trust.)

"Well then I guess we're wasting your time and my time," sez me.

The firefighters gathered up their gear and left.

With no one else to call at this time of night (911 had failed me) I proceeded to take 50 units of Humunlin "N" insulin,

In the kitchen on the wall We only had one phone, And no need for recording things, Someone was always home.

followed by 10 units of Humulin "R" (fast acting) insulin. In about 10 minutes the blood sugar dropped from 588 to 533. 15 minutes later I took another 10 units of "R." In about a half hour I was down to 412. Still over 400.

Every two hours for the rest of the night/morning, I'd take another 10 units of "R" insulin. By 8:30am, I was down to 99 . . . normal limits.

And I had not gotten much sleep.

I began to wonder . . . "high blood sugars can lead to a heart attack. What if, 15 minutes after the firefighters left I had suffered a fatal heart attack?" (That's where my battery of high priced attorneys from Dewey, Cheathem and Howe, would have giggled and laughed and drawn up a lovely law suit against the city of Escondido for medical negligence. The heirs to my estate would have been rolling in cash, no doubt.)

I decided to file a formal complaint with Chief Mike Lowry, who heads up the Fire Department. I detailed all of the above and his recounting of the procedures and protocols pretty much were in sync with what the dispatcher had told me and NOT with what the Captain had told me. “Our First Responders respond on a Code 3 with lights and sirens; upon arrival they treat symptoms and ask questions. (No questions were asked, no symptoms were treated, no vital signs were checked, no blood pressure, blood sugars, nothing.)

He promised to check with his Chief of Operations and the First Responder Crew and get their take on what happened.

Bottom line: I think the city was placed in a dangerous situation legally and morally for not at least checking my blood pressure and/or blood sugars, and making a recommendation

We only had a living room Where we would congregate, Unless it was at mealtime In the kitchen where we ate.

We had no need for family rooms Or extra rooms to dine.

When meeting as a family Those two rooms would work out fine.

We only had one TV set And channels maybe two, But always there was one of them With something worth the view.

For snacks we had potato chips That tasted like a chip.

And if you wanted flavor There was Lipton's onion dip.

Store-bought snacks were rare because My mother liked to cook

When we did our weekend trips Depending on the weather, No one stayed at home because We liked to be together.

Sometimes we would separate To do things on our own, But we knew where the others were Without our own cell phone.

Then there were the movies With your favorite movie star, And nothing can compare To watching movies in your car.

Oh the pure joy of picking up your girl To go out for a ride, With her sitting so close to you Right there by your side.

Then there were the picnics At the peak of summer season, Pack a lunch and find some trees And never need a reason.

The treaty was signed on Dec. 30, 1853 by James Gadsden, who at the time was the ambassador to Mexico. The treaty also served to reconcile outstanding border issues between the U.S. and Mexico emanating from the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the war with Mexico.

The treaty, known in Mexico as the “Sale of La Mesilla,” was primarily negotiated to provide right-of-way for U.S. transcontinental railroads. The war had left Mexico heavily in debt. Yankee dollars were sorely needed by Mexican President Santa Anna, who wanted to rebuild his army out of fear the Americans would attack again.

The Gadsden Purchase

Looking at the map today of the Southwestern United States, approximately one-third of the lower part of Arizona and a portion of southern New Mexico was the last parcel added to the contiguous 48 states by what was known as the “Gadsden Purchase” from the Republic of Mexico.

In that $15 million Land transaction of 1853, the United States also came very close to possessing the entire peninsula of Baja California. But that would have cost the U.S. an additional $50 million for Baja if it was added to the territorial portions of the northern Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua.

The Gadsden Purchase consisted of a 29,640 square-mile region of present-day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico.

The Gadsden Purchase was ratified, with changes, by the U.S. Senate on April 25, 1854, and signed by President Franklin Pierce, with final approval taken

by Mexico’s congress on June 8, 1854. The purchase included lands south of the Gila River and west of the Rio Grande, which make it possible for the U.S. to construct a transcontinental railroad with a southern route. PreCivil War business-oriented Southerners saw such a transcontinental railroad linking the southern U.S. states with the Pacific Coast, which would expand their trade opportunities.

However, many in Washington thought the topography of the southern portion of the original boundary line to the 1848 Mexican ceded territories, (California, Nevada, Utah,

The Doctor is In!

Welcome to "Oral Sedation Dentistry"

Fear has no boundaries affecting all types of people.

There are no sex, economic, or race discrimination guidelines. Research shows at least 30% or our population avoids going to the dentist due to fear. Our personal estimate is closer to 50% where anxiety is the culprit for avoiding needed care.

With such a large segment of the population needing care but too afraid to seek us out, it is easy to see why a safe, non-judgemental, pain-free experience would be a welcome change for the anxietysticken patient.

Oral Conscious Sedation (OCS) meets that incredible need. The Dentists who have made a commitment to learn

the advanced technical skills required to practice OCS provide a solution for those needing this service putting them into a state of "twilight sleep" without rendering them actually unconscious.

To be totally successful a dentist must learn more than just the technical skills.

The certified OCS dentist must understand the emotional state as well. This involves understanding the state of a high-fear patient.

This requires the dentist to actively listen to those who have avoided dentistry for years because of intense, realistic, palm-sweating, sick-to-the-stomach, eyepopping, and sleep depriving fear.

It is a well-known fact that many people are often afraid to tell anyone about their fear, so they felt isolated. As dentists, we must be their "rock" in these situations and let them know that we understand their fear and that it is okay for them to feel the way the do. Using compassion and our expertise, we are able to take their

fear seriously, they are not being silly, and that we care about their emotional needs as well as their dental needs.

If the patient fears one dental visit to the dentist, imagine their frustration when they find out that they have not attended to their dental health over many years because of their fear, and that they may have to have appointments, numerous over many months, to complete their care. This is always received as discouraging news and often becomes the deciding factor

in not having their dentistry done.

"Is there a way, with sedation, that our patients could have their treatment accomplished in minimal visits, with no pain and little memory of this experience?"

"Would this be encouraging?"

As certified in OCS we can provide this kind of treatment in a comfortable and caring way which will improve your patient's health and self-esteem while at the same time improving the individual's view of your professional competency.

Arizona, New Mexico, western Colorado) were too mountainous to allow such a direct rail route.

President Pierce’s administration, strongly influenced by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, had seen an opportunity to acquire land for the railroad by adding a significant amount of territory from northern Mexico.

However, controversial debate in Washington, D.C., developed over the treaty which evolved into a North-South dispute over slavery.

Would the newly-acquired territory be allowed slavery?

After the treaty was approved by both countries, a survey party was designated to officially establish the border. The joint American-Mexican survey party surveyed and mapped the Gadsden Purchase border from the Pacific to El Paso. With that party was U.S. Army surveyor Lt. Cave Couts. He would later be one of the first white settlers to develop a vast Rancho Guajome located in what today is northern San Diego County. The surveyor’s transit Couts used was, for a time, on display at the County’s Rancho Guajome museum in Vista.

Today, the Gadsden Purchase and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo have been nearly forgotten, but both are important aspects of American history. Our southern border would look very different today without the Gadsden Purchase, but how very different it would look if Baja California had been included in that treaty.

to (a) be transported to the ER by ambulance, (b) drive myself to the ER, or (c) not concern myself, all was well. It appears to me to be fire department negligence.

I'm well aware that, generally, it is best to be transported by ambulance when in medical distress. They have treatment modes they can administer while en route to hospital, they are in radio contact with the hospital, and your treatment is generally more efficient. (It is also horribly expensive; even after insurance coverage my last ambulance ride caused me to receive a bill for around $1800!)

It is probably not a good idea to dissuade people from either calling 911 or accepting a recommendation to go by ambulance .. . because of uncertainty as to either the accuracy of medical advice or negligence in caring for the potential patient. All kinds of ramifications, including legal, crop up.

Why might this complaint be important? This same treatment, or lack therof, could be given, or denied, to you (or me) should you have a(nother) potential medical emergency.

Chief Lowry and/or the Escondido City Council as to what, if any, remedies are needed and whether they agree this treatment of a potential patient amounted to negligence.

As of press time we have not heard from Chief Lowry or any city staffer.

Humane Society Rescued 83 Bunnies; Now Ready for Adoption – Rescuing 83 rabbits from neglect was definitely not on the radar this year – nor in the budget of the Humane Society, but action had to be taken when it found out the horrific conditions these animals were living in, conditions similar to puppy mills, filthy, antiquated cages without proper medical care.

Six agencies collaborated to form a legal structure (called a Joint-PowersAuthority) that would allow for acquisition and maintenance of land,

Now all the rabbits have received medical treatment and are ready to find loving homes that they deserve. This past weekend the Humane Society held a special adoption event to find homes for the 83 neglected rabbits. If interested, contact any of the Humane Society campuses to see if any of the rabbits are still available.

May is "Be Kind to Animals" month! The animal-loving community is encouraged to embrace this theme, so from May 22-24 they are partnering with Girl Scout Troop 4654 to offer a "Be Kind to Animals" adoption campaign where all adult animals at all San Diego Humane Society campuses are just $10.

Maia is the pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 6 year old, 11 pound, Short Haired, Snowshoemix cat.

Snowshoe cats are part Siamese.

They form strong bonds with their human friends. Maia loves being brushed, playtime, and sitting on laps. Her previous owner had to move and she wasn’t able to take Maia along. She loves people but would prefer to be the only cat in her home. Maia is in a foster home getting some special attention until she’s adopted.

The $100 adoption fee for Maia includes her recent medical exam, up to date vaccinations, spay, and registered microchip.

Buster, a 5-year-old Corgi/Labrador Retriever mix, is a sweet boy looking for a new best friend. After he was brought in by his previous owner who was unable to care for him, we’ve realized how much he enjoys hanging out with his people friends over other animals. Buster might be a little shy at first but loves to snuggle up once he feels safe and loved. He would love an adult only home that can spend a lot of time with him to help him build his confidence.

If adventurous walks and rousing games of fetch are involved – you two will quickly become best friends! Buster is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 East Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

This made me reflect on God's existence in a world that struggles to see: In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”

The other replied, “Why, of course.

There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what will come ” “Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here.

Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from mouths. Maybe we will have other senses we can’t understand.”

The first replied, “Nonsense. And ... if there is life, then why has nobody ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the afterdelivery there is nothing but darkness, silence & oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

“Well, I don’t know,” said the 2nd, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she’ll take care of us.”

The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists - where is She now?”

The second said, “She is all around us. We’re surrounded by her. We’re of Her. It is in Her that we live.

Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”

Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it’s logical that She doesn’t exist.”

To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re silent and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

Cocos fire anniversary reminds us to be prepared

It’s been a year since the Cocos fire scorched canyons just beyond Cal State San Marcos and scared the hillsides of the Coronado Hills and San Elijo Hills communities.

Preparedness is one of the lessons learned by San Marcos residents in the aftermath of the fire, which started in the hills behind Cal State San Marcos on May 14 and soon whipped through 1,995 acres, taking out five homes inside city limits and another 33 in unincorporated areas.

It is no secret that San Marcos and all of southern California often sees a brutal

fall fire season. Considering extreme weather conditions and drought, risk is particular high this year and we must all step up our preparedness game.

To prepare, regional fire agencies and the County of San Diego is recommending residents take a “Ready, Set, Go!” approach for peak fire season. Get “ready” by creating and maintaining at least 150 feet of defensible space around your property; get “set” by making a family emergency plan; and “go” when our first responders give evacuation instructions.

Trending in Tablets and Smart phones

When the first iPads were shipped in 2010, Apple’s Steve Jobs famously announced the “end of the PC era.” Jobs was somewhat premature. While mobile devices (tablets and smart phones) have become a vital part of our private and business lives, there are a lot of things a tablet or smart phone just don’t do as well as a PC. Smaller screens, finger poke interface, dinky keypads, battery limitations, low power CPUs and limited data storage make mobile devices inappropriate for many business and home applications. Mobile devices have revolutionized the way we communicate but they just don’t cut the mustard when it comes to replacing PC functions. 2014 saw a growth spurt in PC sales that is expected to continue through 2015.

MORTGAGE FINANCING

Tablet sales are beginning to slacken. The new lightweight but full function notebook PCs are eating tablet sales from the top end while “phablets” are chewing at them from the bottom.

“Phablets” are the new large screen (5 to 7 inch diagonal) smart phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note. They have all the functions of a smart phone with a screen large enough to enjoy streaming video, reading and web browsing.

In the competition for smart phone OS (operating system/s), Android (Google) and IOS (Apple) have succeeded in replacing early industry leaders Blackberry (RIM), Symbian (Nokia) and Palm (Access) and now own 96% of the smart phone market. Newcomer Microsoft with its Windows mobile OS is the only serious competition with about 3%.

Many of our customers are surprised to learn that Android (Google) smart phones outsell IOS (Apple) smart phones by a margin of more than five to one worldwide. Only in the USA do iPhones even come close to competing for market share with Androids. In the USA Android smart phones outsell iPhones by a 3 to 2 margin. Outside the USA Androids outsell iPhones ten to one. Apple boasts of making major inroads in China, the world’s largest smart phone market, but even in China, Apple has only a 15% share and China’s smart phone sales are actually shrinking.

Fixed rate mortgages have a set rate and a payment that typically does not change during the life of the loan.

ARMs on the other hand can see fluctuations in the rate and payment as time goes on.

This can be good when rates are low, but also can be bad when rates rise.

Here are some other types of mortgages that you may or may not have heard of:

In this week’s column, I am going to discuss several different varieties of mortgage programs so that you will have a better understanding of what is available to you as a consumer.

Conventional Conforming High Balance: This refers to a Fannie/Freddie backed mortgage that is from 417,100 to $562,351 in size in San Diego County. The maximum loan size for this category varies by county.

Typically, the rates for these are just slightly higher than for the non-high balance loans.

Integrity Mortgage Group Senior Mortgage Consultant

First of all, most mortgages are divided into two types.

Fixed Rate Mortgages and Variable Rate Mortgages (also known as Adjustable Rate Mortgages or ARM’s).

Conventional Conforming Mortgage: This is the most common type of mortgage. It refers to mortgages that fit Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines and are below 417K in size. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government managed entities that back loans that fit their guidelines making it easier for lenders to make mortgage loans to more people.

Jumbo Mortgage: In San Diego County, this is any mortgage over $562, 351.

These typically carry higher rates than the other two and can be more difficult to qual-

Although tablets have been around since the 1980s, that market didn’t take off until 2010 when Apple shipped its first iPad. By 2011 there were several Android based tablet brands, but only iPads used the IOS operating system and iPads made up 80% of tablet sales. Tablet sales grew by over 40% each year as Apple, Google, and Microsoft fought for market share. In 2013 “Android” tablets surged past the iPads to become the leading OS. Today, the first quarter of 2015, Apple’s iPad has fallen to a 24% market share while Android at 70% and Microsoft Windows tablets at 6% are both gaining ground.
