Volume 51 - No. 26
By Friedrich Gomez
If your editor calls you into his office and tells you to write up a new angle, new information, and something totally different with “shocking, never-before historical insights on our 4th of July” --well, you’d be pretty much screwed, blued, and tattooed!
I mean, c’mon, journalists, historians, newspapers, scholars, and TV newscasters everywhere have picked over the bones of every known colorful detail from our Independence Day -- to the extent that anything pertaining to July 4 would be the “Kiss of Death” for any (crusading) reporter today. In King’s English, 4th of July narratives will be lost in the din of today’s garden-variety ‘write-ups’ – which are now tedious, repetitive, and ALREADY KNOWN visitations!
And, as Ernest Hemingway cautioned, it’s off-limits waxing over sentimental real-life patriotic narratives – not because they aren’t important, they are – but as the Great One admonished, such common drivel will already be in overabundance, everywhere, and joining their ranks: “Would just be too easy without NEW FACTS. Like cheating. Like playing tennis with the net down.”
4TH OF JULY’S LOST SECRETS. In this most exclusive report, readers of The Paper will depart company from just about every other major print and visual media in the U. S.
You will have a special front row roller coaster ride in learning new exciting and colorful facts about our country that will be eye-opening, startling, and simply unbelievable!
In short, a Long Lost Legacy awaits you.
And, a most unexpected and colorful journey is yours, which you will never forget! WHICH U. S. PRESIDENT & FOUNDING FATHER ACTUALLY REFUSED TO CELEBRATE 4TH OF JULY?
This question, alone, seems unrealistic, even impossible, to even soberly consider – yet, it’s true! A. George Washington. B. Thomas Jefferson. C. John Adams. The Paper - 760.747.7119

Unbelievably, the correct answer is “C” for John Adams, one of our most patriotic Founding Fathers and a staunch vocal supporter for our Declaration of Independence! John Adams, our second U. S. President after George Washington, was never happy about the selected date of July 4th and therefore refused to celebrate the 4th of July throughout his lifetime! Adams long believed that July 2nd was the correct historical day for observance, not July 4.
In a personal letter to his wife, Abigail, dated July 3, 1776, he wrote: “The Second Day of July 1776 will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.”
However, when July 4 was selected, Adams fumed in volatile anger and forever disagreed. His unbridled anger was so intense that he not only refused to celebrate the 4th of July, but, he vowed to never even appear or attend at any 4th of July events or celebrations throughout his lifetime, as a matter of principle and disagreement! Ironically, Adams died on the 4th of July in 1826. The very day he despised in his adult life.
(For the record, Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, also died on the 4th of July.)
WAS A WOMAN EVER RECORDED AS ONE OF THE SIGNERS OF THE “DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE”? A. Yes. Believe it or not! B. No. Of course not!
If this is true in any way, then all the names on the Declaration of Independence were NOT all men, as is officially recorded in our historical records, and taught in all our seats of learning. And yet, unbelievably, the correct answer is “A” for true!
Technically speaking, a woman’s signature appears on some 1777 copies of the Declaration of Independence, in printed copies officially recognized by Congress in early America! Although she was not an official

signer, Mary Katherine Goddard (1738-1816) – who was formally commissioned and appointed by Congress to print official copies of the historic document – she, nevertheless, added her name below the original signers, which went uncorrected by Congress! It happened in January of 1777, when Congress officially recognized and appointed her to print authorized copies of our Declaration of Independence. Goddard was an early American

publisher of the Baltimore Post Office from 1775-1789 and was the (second printer) to print copies of the Declaration of Independence.
Although she was the second printer to print the document, her Declaration of Independence copy was the (very first) to list the names of the signatories. With her publication, the public learned for the first time who signed the Declaration. Although it is not clear why she

included her name, Goddard was a well-known patriot at the time and the only woman whose name – “Mary Katherine Goddard” – actually appears on those surviving official printed versions.
Although she was never authorized to do so, it nevertheless has become historical fact: Yes, her name does appear on officially recognized copies commissioned by Congress. But no, she was never a true signer of America’s Declaration of Independence, nor was she authorized to place her name on it!
Nevertheless, her name sits on the Declaration of Independence, alongside those of Founding Fathers like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, making these surviving documents (as commissioned by the U. S. Congress) most rare and extremely valuable to historical scholars and collectors of U. S. documents. In 1949, nine (9) of these most rare and prized documents (with her name on the Declaration of Independence as an original signatory) were known to still exist.
The reported locations of these invaluable versions are housed at our nation’s capitol in the Library of Congress at Washington, D. C., and also the Maryland Historical

Are you serious?! The very fact that even one American president had to learn English as a second language comes as a total shock for many people today! But, it’s true! If you chose “C,” Martin Van Buren, well, you are a most amazing scholar, or the world’s greatest guesser! Our 8th U. S. President of the United States, Martin Van Buren, did not speak English as his first language! Van Buren grew up in the Dutch community of Kinderhook, New York and only spoke Dutch as a child. He eventually learned to speak English as a second language while attending the local schoolhouse.

DEAR SEAN:
My dad just left my mom and me… He’s a real *&@#$ and I’m so pissed off, I don’t even know why I’m writing you…
I am so mad and I wish we could make him pay for this in some way if that could be possible… I just can’t figure out why. Thanks for reading this, JACOB, (13 years old) DEAR JACOB,
Before I answer you letter, I want to say one thing, and it’s a little off the subject, so bear with me. Have you ever watched any old Westerns? I’m talking silver-screen heroes in ten-gallon hats with quickdraws, who call everyone “Pilgrim.”
A local Methodist Pastor walked up to the brothel, knocked on the front door and then went inside. "Would you look at that." says the first Irishman, "Didn't I always say what a bunch of hypocrites those Methodists were?"
No sooner are the words out of his mouth than a Rabbi appears at the front door, knocks, and goes inside the brothel.
The second Irishman says, "Another one trying to fool everyone with pious preaching and stupid hats!" They continue drinking their pints o' Guinness roundly condemning the Vicar and the Rabbi for being hypocrits of their faith's.
Just then their own Catholic Priest knocks on the front door of the brothel and goes inside. "Ah, now dat's sad." says the third Irishman, "One of the girls must have died." •••• 1.

No, you probably don’t watch movies like that. Only geeks watch those sorts of movies. Geeks like me. Still, it makes me sad that we don’t have Westerns like that today. There was a time when mankind was fortunate enough to have Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Glenn Ford, Randolph Scott, and the immortal John Wayne.

boys need classic Western movies in their lives.
Look, just because there are no great silver-screen cowboys in today’s age doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the old vaqueros. The Duke is still alive and well in digital color. Hopalong couldn’t look any better. And don’t forget “Maverick,” “Gunsmoke,” and “Bonanza.”
If you were to ask me which old Western movie to start with, I would have an answer for you. “Stagecoach.” John Wayne’s first big movie. The Pilgrim himself, saving the day.
Then I’d tell you to watch “True Grit,” and “Red River.” From there you could work your way up to “The Searchers,” and “The Magnificent Seven.” When you were ready for more, you could watch “The Wild Bunch,” and “The Man who Shot Liberty Valance.” Finally, I’d tell you to watch 1953’s “Shane.” Keep the tissues handy.
After you have watched the above titles, then and ONLY then might you be ready for “Lonesome Dove.”

I will warn you. You’ll probably find these antique movies boring at first, and that’s okay. You are from a modern era of fast-paced movies. Old Westerns don’t move fast, and you won’t see half-naked pop stars, either. They are slow, deliberate, soft, far-fetched, corny, and sometimes downright ridiculous. But oh, Jacob, they have heroes.
Right now, you need a hero. I know this because I grew up hard like you. My father died when I was younger than you are. He left a terrible wake when he left. I was mad about it. I cussed the sky. I said a lot of ugly things to a lot of nice people. But back then, I couldn’t help it. I was without a compass, I was lost, I was afraid of everything. One night, a local TV station broadcasted a John Wayne marathon. I will never forget it because it was the Fourth of July. All my friends were having picnics with their happy little families while I was at home, babysitting my kid sister.
The telecast started with “The Comancheros,” and it ended with “McLintock!” I stayed up until three in the morning watching Marion Robert Morrison save the world. I was exhausted the next day, but I felt good inside. Because that night influenced me forever. I started calling my friends “Pilgrim,” and I

I told you I was a geek.
Jacob, I know you feel alone right now. I want you to know that’s okay. In fact, it’s part of the script. Every cowboy feels alone during the climax of any good Western. But the cowboy is never alone. He is a man on a horse, facing the rest of the world. The odds are not in his favor, but the whole universe is on his side whether he knows it or not. The hero doesn’t know that the audience watching the silver screen is cheering for him.
I am cheering for you, Jacob. I can’t tell you how to stop being angry with your father. That feeling might never go away entirely, but I hope it does. The truth is, I don’t know anything, and even if I did, I wouldn’t know how to tell it because I am still a kid trapped in an adult’s body. What I can tell you is this: I love you. With all my heart.

Katia's Friend By Sam Lowe
Katia and I met only once but even after all these years, I have not been able to erase her from my mind, no matter how hard I try. However, I freely admit that I never try very hard because I want her to remain there, a delightful memory of a time gone by. She is with me today, just as she was when we had our only encounter at an orphanage in Agua Prieta, Sonora, directly across the Mexican border south of Douglas, Arizona. She was just one of several youngsters living in cluttered rooms on dirt floors. They came from broken homes and from families who lived in cardboard boxes held together with chicken wire. Many of them weren't true orphans, not in the literal sense. Some were aban-

The Paper Tension at Palomar Medical Center over Contract Change
Following a Palomar Health Disterict Board vote approving a contract change recommended by Palomar Medical Center President and CEO, Diane Hansen, obections arose from within the medical community within the hospital district. Under state law hospital districts are unable to hire their own physicians and medical staff. Personnel within these and other categories are typically hired by medical groups formed for just that purpose. Tensions have increased over Palomar’s recent decision to award key emergency, hospitalist and intensivist contracts to Los Angeles companies, diverting from longstanding arrangements with Vituity Healthcare & Medical Staffing Services, a medical group spanning 17 states with 450 offices that has managed Palomar’s emergency departments for more than 40 years.
Speaking with The Paper, President and CEO Diane Hansen expressed confidence that EMA and Benchmark Hospitalists and Intensivists is the best fit for the Palomar Health District. “In our judgment they will improve patient satisfaction, efficiency and more affordable health care as well as bring a savings of $3 to $4 million. Both medical committees and Chiefs of Staff were given an opportunity of stating their positions before the board; they had a full

Bill Medley still loves performing and audiences love seeing and hearing him. Pala Casino continues its tradition of bringing outstanding entertainment to the stage on the 4th of July when The Righteous Brothers appear at 6pm at Pala's Starlight Theater. Evelyn Madison and I took in their show in February of 2020, also at Pala, and absolutely loved it!
Medley has had a brilliantly successful career but he's also endured a number of tragedies; his first wife, Karen, was murdered. Her murderer was later identified but he had already been shot and killed by police in an unrelated crime; later, his partner, Bobby Hatfield, was found dead in a hotel room in Kalamazoo, Michigan where they were scheduled to perform that night. It was later learned that Hatfield had died, in part, due to

Diane Hansen, CEO and President, Palomar Health
In a written statement, Palomar said that its new contractors, Emergent Medical Associates (EMA) and Benchmark Hospitalists & Intensivists have committed to keeping staffing levels “as they are now for at least 90 days” as they do “a full analysis of patient care.”
As to what lead to the change in contracts, Hansen said: “We had some challenges in the ER and ICU unit . . . some operational challenges that we had to address. We knew we were paying well over market; We went out with an RFP (Request for Proposals), anyone who wanted to respond for the 3 contracts could. We had 10 submissions, 6 responder - all came back with the same financial offer but we found the AME group offered additional analytical tools . . . metrics which would help drive improve-
cocaine intoxication; Medley was unaware that Hatfield was into cocaine. "He always showed up on time, always Mr. Dependable, never appeared to be high." Then, just this year his second wife, Paula, died. He says he's okay emotionally but he says getting back to the performing stage always helps him regain the joy of youth and energy. On stage he still belts out a song with the best of them.
He and Bucky now appear regularly at South Pointe, a casino in Las Vegas. "It's a great show room, great facility, great people . . and we have the flexibility we need to accept other concert dates throughout the country. That keeps us busy. And happy."
The COVID19 virus hit Medley in two ways. First, he came down with the virus, but has recovered. "I still have difficulty with taste and smells," he said. "But we have otherwise fully recovered. The greater pain from the virus was that we weren't able to perform. That just kills entertainers. We have to be able to entertain an audience for us to be really on top of the world. Locked up at home is doubly difficult for us." Being a songwriter, Medley was able to spend much of his time writing songs but sometimes found it tough to finish the songs. "I've got a number of them just waiting for the finished lyrics and/or melodies," he says. "Now that we are back performing I reckon the creative juices will begin

They will monitor the time the patient enters the hospital to the time they are discharged and ensure that efficiencey is improved. One major item we want them to address is how to, if not eliminate. at least cut back on 6 to 8 hour waits in the ER waiting room, probably one of the most frequentcomplaints we receive at the hospital.

“I fully support the decision made by the administration to contract with Emergent Medical Associates and Benchmark to assume emergency medical care and other services at Palomar Medical Centers in Escondido and Poway,” Linda Greer, Chair of the Palomar Health District Board of Directors, said.

doned by adults who couldn't take care of them or simply didn't want them. Others were placed there by welfare agencies due to abuse at home. Or they were taken off the streets where they wandered, selling chewing gum and cheap trinkets to tourists . Katia was one of them, a tiny victim of circumstance, a little girl in a faded sweatshirt who peered around a corner and cast her magic upon me. Before I had a chance to avoid any type of a relationship, she looked up at me and I was her captive, defenseless against huge brown eyes and a bashful smile. She pointed to her name written in childish scrawl on the front of her shirt and whispered, “Katia.” I could offer her nothing in return but my own condescending smile, and that inability to express myself in such an unpretentious manner as hers left me wallowing in a great emptiness. Then solemnly, softly, she walked away, but her presence was already forever imprinted on some undetermined locale where I store major occurrences of a pleasant nature. A short time later, she crept back into the room where we adults had gathered to make our inspections and comments while taking notes for the newspaper stories the sponsors wanted us to eventually write for charitable reasons. She tugged at my sleeve to get my attention, then placed her tiny hand into mine and led us away from the others. Attached in that fashion, we walked a short distance to a corner of the room where she seated herself on the dirt floor. She patted the ground and motioned that I should sit beside her. With great concentration, she used a forefinger and sketched her name into the bare earth. When she finished, she waved her small hand across her work and said with great pride, “Katia.” Aware that she wanted to show me something of great importance, I sat cross-legged while she knelt on the dirt floor of the orphanage and slowly unrolled a well-used red kerchief. One by one, she removed her treasures – a collection of empty Tootsie Roll wrappers – and carefully placed them on the ground in front of us, gently smoothing each before bringing out another.
She directed my glance toward the wrappers and gestured, as if to say, “It's all right. You may touch them.” So I picked them up, one by one, carefully examined each, then handed them back to her. When every wrapper had been carefully inspected and placed back into their proper order, she returned them to the secrecy of the old bandanna and tied the ends of the kerchief together. Then she ran her hands across the cloth's surface and wistfully held it up to me for my final approval. For most of the morning, Katia sort of hung around, staying in the background while we adults looked and poked and talked about what the orphanage needed before agreeing

that money and volunteer labor were paramount to the task. Occasionally, she'd catch my eyes, just to let me know that she was still there, waiting to resume our friendship. Then she'd disappear around a corner, but soon she'd be standing in a doorway or coyly peeking through a dusty window, never in the way but always there. At lunch time, she walked resolutely to my side, took my hand and led the way to a rough wooden table where the staff had laid out sandwiches and an unfamiliar liquid. We were friends now, even though I had been given no choice in the matter. She sat close to me and when I went to take my first bite, she gently touched my arm so I would look down at her, then bowed her head and clasped her hands together, an indication that we should pray first. And so we did. She whispered her pre-meal blessing in Spanish, I mumbled mine in English. We ate then, and Katia made certain that my napkin was folded just right and that my glass was always filled with what turned out to be a very weak lemonade. When the meal ended, she removed my plate and cup, took them to what served as a kitchen, and returned to again take up her seat close by mine. We talked for a while, neither of us quite understanding what the other was saying but both perfectly understanding what the other meant. And when my time at the orphanage was over, she clutched my hand and walked me to the car that would take me back to Arizona and out of her life forever. I tried not to look back, but it was futile so I turned and waved and made a silent vow to come back some day.
She smiled a brave smile; I returned it. But we could not hide the moment of sadness that fell upon us because we both knew we would never see each other again. True to the fates so commonly involved in situations like this, our unspoken assessment of how this chance meeting would end did materialize. We never saw each other again. Katia was adopted by a family in Pennsylvania; I asked but was never told where. Sometimes, it's the way things were meant to be.

ing chapters in U. S. Presidential history! WHICH U. S. PRESIDENT AND “FOUNDING FATHER” SPOKE THE MOST FOREIGN LANGUAGES? A. George Washington. B. Thomas Jefferson. C. John Quincy Adams.
This is a very tricky question! So, don’t feel bad if you missed it. While most people might pick Thomas Jefferson right off the bat, it was actually “C,” John Quincy Adams who (fluently) spoke the most foreign languages (of all U. S. Presidents)!
While it is true that Thomas Jefferson spoke and read several languages, it was John Quincy Adams, our 6th American President, who still holds the record for speaking the most languages, including French, Dutch, Russian, Latin, Greek, German, and Italian, among others! In total, John Quincy Adams became (fluent) in as many as 8 different languages! As a child, John Quincy Adams traveled with his father on diplomatic assignments all over the world. The young Adams was born with a most uncanny mind to quickly learn languages.
Most early American presidents that served during the 18th and 19th centuries, studied Latin, and sometimes Greek, in their classical education but, even then, they were not always (truly fluent) in both speaking and reading these languages.
While historians can confirm that Thomas Jefferson was said to speak 5 foreign languages, foremost scholars are quick to point out that Jefferson often exaggerated his (fluency) in each of them. Linguistic experts evaluate Thomas Jefferson speaking some of these foreign languages on a “conversational fluency” level only, but, not on a “proficiently fluent” level. Nevertheless, Jefferson had an eclectic library including dictionaries in a wide variety of world languages, including Arabic, Gaelic, and Welsh (though historians agree he was not fluent in all of them). Jefferson was widely-known to exaggerate his fluency in foreign tongues.
Thomas Jefferson’s own contemporaries, such as John Adams, knew the twinkle in Thomas Jefferson’s eye whenever Jefferson would overly-embellish his linguistic talents. Jefferson once bragged that he learned Spanish fluently in just 19 days while on a sea journey to France, to which John Adams amusingly quipped: “But, Mr. Jefferson tells large tales.” The world’s most august scholars agree with John Adams regarding “Thomas Jefferson’s proclivity to
overly exaggerate his linguistic skills.”
THE QUINTESSTIAL AMERICAN PATRIOTIC SONG “YANKEE DOODLE” WAS SUNG BY THE BRITISH MILITARY! A. True, believe it or not! B. False, never from our enemy at the time! This question seems ridiculous and impossible to even be asked, and yet the shocking answer is “A” true!
An almost completely unknown fact to nearly everyone is that the popular and patriotic quintessential American song, “Yankee Doodle,” was widely sung by the British military officers even before the American Revolution!
The “Yankee Doodle” tune was already well-known by the 1750s, but tradition records that in 1756 a British doctor named Richard Schuckburg penned new words to mock his American allies. And it was NOT sung to salute Americans, but to ridicule and poke fun at us. The song portrayed the colonists as: “rude, crude, and cowardly.” However, twenty-five years later, after the Continental Army forced the British to surrender at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781, we had effectively won our independence, although the fighting would not formally end until 1783. (Kennedy Center, Education Dept. of History & U. S. Military.)
Although the British used Yankee Doodle early on to mock us, we eventually won the war – so no hard feelings towards our British cousins and our closest military ally today.
OUR MOST BELOVED STAR SPANGLED BANNER DID NOT BECOME OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM UNTIL: A. Over 75 years after it was written. B. Over a century after it was written. Surprisingly, it took a very long time for us to accept the Star Spangled Banner as our official U. S. National Anthem. So, “B” above, is the correct answer! On three counts, it is surprising for most Americans that the Star Spangled Banner was written as a poem, and never intended as a song!
Secondly, it took 112 years after it was first composed, to finally be accepted as our U. S. National Anthem, well over a century after the fact! Written on September 14, 1814 as a poem by 35-year-old lawyer and poet, Francis Scott Key, the Star Spangled Banner was later adopted in song version by President Woodrow Wilson, but only as a popularly accepted song, not a song recognized by law. It wasn’t until 1926 that it was formally passed by Congress to

become our official National Anthem of the United States.
Thirdly – and ironically -- a surprising fact that remains almost entirely unknown today for most people, is that our National Anthem was set to music to the tune of a popular British song, composed by John Stafford Smith – making our National Anthem music British, in origin!
(When I spent two years in England, I often heard what I thought was our U. S. National Anthem, but my British host family accurately informed me it was a traditional British tune! Our Star Spangled Banner is sung to that popular British tune.) This is virtually unheard of and unreported. Giving potency that truth is often stranger than fiction! WHAT IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE UNITED STATES? A. English. B. Spanish. C. German. D. No Official Language.

Eliminating mandatory shutdowns is only part of the solution. Businesses need help so that they can successfully reopen and get their employees back to work. Below I’m listing some of the resources that will help:
The California Grants Portal provides one destination for businesses seeking grants and loans offered on a competitive or first-come basis by California state agencies. The Labor & Workforce Development Agency has a benefits summary chart for workers impacted by COVID-19.
The Small Business Majority provides almost weekly webinars for business owners. For more information, see HERE. The Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) provides a hotline for navigating rules and
Despite not having an official national language, American English is the primary language spoken in this country, as well as the language used for legislation, executive orders, federal court rulings, etc.
Whether the United States of America will ever decide to enact an “official language” is something only time will tell. British English and American English have often been the source of friendly humor between our two allied cultures. George Bernard Shaw once quipped, “England and America are two different countries separated by a common language.”
Helping Small Business Get Back on its Feet
California is now reopening its economy, something I’ve been advocating for months. As a small business owner, I understand the disproportionate impact the pandemic had on small businesses, which make up 95% of all businesses in this region and employ the vast majority of workers. We’re taking a huge step in the right direction, though it’s months too late.
While many countries have official languages, the United States, interestingly, does not. So, if you selected “D” above, you are correct.
The fact that America is without an official language distinguishes our country from others, such as England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, all of which have their own official languages. Standard German, for example, is the official language of Germany and Austria, with 95 percent of these countries speaking Standard German or German dialects. French is the official language of France. English is the official language of the United Kingdom, Italian the national language of Italy, etc.

Per-Mile Tax is a Nonstarter
Subscribe to The Paper! Call 760.747.7119
In 2004, SANDAG proposed a new sales tax to voters that would generate $14 billion dollars, which promised to relieve traffic congestion, improve safety, and match state/federal funds to improve the following freeways: I-5, I-8, I-15, SR 52, SR 54, SR 56, SR 67, SR 76, SR 78, SR 94, SR 125, I-805. And the measure promised improvements to public transit routes. Voters passed this under the impression their commute home would be made faster and easier.
This has not happened. Instead, SANDAG staff front-loaded public transit projects while leaving 14 of the highway projects unfunded. Now, they’ve announced that they want to implement a new transportation vision. One that doesn’t include roads and freeways, but focuses on transit, even though the current half-cent sales tax San Diegans are paying promised improvements to roads and freeways. The latest proposal that will directly hit San Diegans’ wallets is a ‘road charge.’ If approved, San Diegans would be charged a set price for every mile traveled within the State of California. The money collected
from vehicle drivers would then be used to pay for public transportation.
This insane proposal should never see the light of day. San Diegans already pay some of the highest prices to drive in the Country. From the current gas taxes to a vehicle registration tax, San Diegans feel the effects, in their wallets, every day. Adding another tax, to fund public transportation, is a slap in the face. The message is clear from SANDAG and the State, they want to force you out of your car and on buses and trolleys. This new tax will be spent on downtown San Diego’s Grand Central Station, not for the promised road/freeway improvements promised years ago. It’s time for North County to say enough is enough - we should not be charged for every mile we drive. Instead, the projects that have been promised should be completed.

PROBLEM SOLVED BY CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT
Q: I recently bought a Groupon for a one-year Sam's Club membership. The offer was misleading. I thought it was for a year, but it was only for three months. I pressed cancel less than 15 minutes after I made the purchase, and I expected the refund to be applied to my credit card.
Unfortunately, the only refund I received was for $35 in Groupon Bucks. I don't even know how to use them. I care less about the $35 than about being treated with honesty, integrity, and a willingness to find a solution that is fair to me. Can you help me get my money back? -- Steve Atlas, Merritt Island, Fla. A: If your Groupon was for a oneyear membership, you should have received a one-year membership. But it wasn't. A closer examination of the coupon shows it's only valid for three months. Is that worth it? I pay about that much, on a prorated basis, for my Sam's Club membership. And let me tell you, if you have to feed three hungry teenagers, Sam's Club is great! We buy most of our food in bulk. Some of the groceries are eaten in the car and don't make it all the way home. Kids are like hummingbirds. When I say they consume twice their body weight in a day, I'm only half kidding.
I think the lesson is to carefully read the offer before you buy it. You waited until after redeeming the coupon to carefully check the terms. It's an easy mistake -- I've done it countless times. You tried to use the <a ef="https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/groupon-customerservice-contacts/">Groupon contacts we list on my consumer advocacy site</a>. Initially, you didn't get a response. That's a long story. Until recently, we've had difficulty finding reliable executive contacts for Groupon. I reviewed the terms of the offer. The screen shot you provided says 12 months but the coupon says 3 months. I'm not sure what Groupon did or didn't disclose before your purchase, but I think we can all agree that your membership only lasts three months. My researchers found new contacts for Groupon and updated them. You finally were able to get through to the company and negotiated a refund, which you used to purchase a one-year Sam's Club membership.

TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER
BY CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT
Q: I booked four airline tickets from Seattle to Lisbon from Ovago, an online travel agency in December 2019. As our travel date approached last May, I became concerned about our flights, so I contacted our airlines (Air Canada and Lufthansa). A representative told us that our flights had been canceled and that I needed to talk to Ovago about a refund. I contacted Ovago and a representative told me they were in the process of determining refunds, and that we would likely receive a refund, less a "processing fee". An Ovago representative promised to contact us.
No one called or reached out, so I called Ovago. An agent told me they were working on it and that they would get back to me as soon as they heard from the airline. Ovago never called us.
I filed an unsuccessful credit card dispute and an unsuccessful complaint with the Consumer Protection Division of the Washington State Attorney General’s office. While that complaint was in process, however, we received an email from Ovago which said a full refund is allowed. We have mountains of documentation about our trying to get a refund from Ovago in compliance with their stated policy of "a full refund if the flight is canceled". Can you help us get our $4,722 back? -Daniel Quinn-Shea, Seattle
A: If your airlines canceled your flights, you should get a fast and full refund. I can't believe your credit card company didn't see it that way and sided with the online travel agency. Yours was a complicated case. For starters, Ovago preferred communicating by phone. That means you never received anything in writing to confirm your refund request last year. The only written response appears to be Ovago's rebuttal to your credit card dispute and a brief acknowledgment that it would process a refund earlier this year. That's unfortunate.
It looks as if your online agency made some claims about your tickets that you say were untrue. That further clouded the issue, and it may have confused your credit card issuer. Another unfortunate fact: Filing a credit card dispute can further slow a refund. I think that may have happened in your case. In a perfect world, both your online travel agency and credit card company would be on your side, fighting to ensure you receive a timely refund from an airline.
Remember, under Department of Transportation regulations, if an airline cancels your flight, you're

Historically Speaking by Tom Morrow
America’s Most Beloved Humorist
Today, it’s almost impossible for anyone to poke fun at both sides of the pollical spectrum and still be admired and liked. That certainly was the sort of common-sense observer of life that Will Rogers was. Born in Oklahoma on Nov. 4, 1 8 7 9 , Rogers was an American stage and film actor, vaudeville p e r f o r m e r, cowboy, humorist, newspaper columnist, and social commentator. He was a citizen of the Cherokee Nation in the Indian Territory (now Oklahoma).
His parents, Clement Vann Rogers (1839–1911) and Mary America Schrimsher (1838–1890), were both of mixed race and Cherokee ancestry, and identified as Cherokee. Rogers always quipped his ancestors did not come over on the Mayflower, but they "met the boat.”
As an entertainer and humorist, he traveled around the world three times, made 71 films (50 silent films and 21 "talkies"), and wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns. By the mid-1930s, Rogers was hugely popular for his leading political wit and was the highest paid of Hollywood film stars. His earthy anecdotes and folksy style allowed Rogers to poke fun at gangsters, prohibition, politicians, government programs, and a host of other controversial topics in a way that found general acclaim from a national audience with no one offended. He often proclaimed: "I am not a member of an organized political party. I am a Democrat." In 1901, when he was 22 years old, Rogers and a friend left home to work as gauchos (cowboys) in Argentina, but they lost all their money. In turn Rogers sailed for South Africa where he was hired at a ranch. It was in South Africa where Rogers started his show business career as a trick lariat roper in the Texas Jack's Wild West Circus. He said regarding that time, “I learned the great secret of show business -- knowing when to get off the stage. It's the fellow who knows when to quit that the audience wants more of.” From South Africa Rogers took his roping act to Australia where he continued to perform. He returned to the United States in 1904, appearing at the St. Louis World's Fair, and then began
trying his roping skills on the vaudeville circuits which led him to New York’s Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway. In 1918, Hollywood discovered Rogers. Samuel Goldwyn gave him a three-year contract at triple his Broadway salary. He toured the lecture circuit and the New York Times syndicated his column, "Will Rogers Says,” which reached 40 million newspaper readers daily. From 1929 to 1935, Rogers made radio broadcasts of his homespun humor for the Gulf Oil Company, which ranked among the nation’s top programs. He was an enthusiast of aviation, and urged a military air force such as what his friend, Army Gen. Billy Mitchell, was advocating. During his lectures, Rogers quipped, "A humorist entertains, and a lecturer annoys." Although he supported President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, he easily joked about it, saying “Lord, the money we do spend on Government it's not one bit better than the government we got for one-third the money twenty years ago.” Rogers increasingly expressed the views of the American "common man." He downplayed academic credentials, noting, "Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects." His newspaper column expressed his traditional morality and his belief that political problems were not as serious as they sounded. He urged isolationism for the U.S.
In 1935, Rogers asked his friend, famed aviator Wiley Post to fly him to Alaska searching for new material for his newspaper column. On Aug. 15, of that year, they left Fairbanks for Point Barrow. About 20 miles southwest of their destination they landed to ask directions. Upon takeoff, the engine failed and they plunged into a lagoon. Both men died instantly. Before his death, Oklahoma commissioned a statue of Rogers, representing the state in Statuary Hall of the U.S. Capitol. Rogers insisted his image be placed facing the House Chamber so he could "keep an eye on Congress." Over the years Capitol tour guides have said each president traditionally rubs the statue’s left shoe for good luck before entering the House Chamber to give the annual “State of the Union address.” Many landmarks are named in the humorist’s honor: Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, the Will Rogers Turnpike of Interstate 44 between Tulsa and Joplin, Missouri, and 13 Oklahoma public schools.
U.S. Highway 66 is known as “The Will Rogers Highway.” With a dedication plaque at the roadway’s western terminus in Santa Monica. There have been two U.S. Postage stamps dedicated in his honor and the U.S. Navy’s Benjamin Franklin class submarine, USS Will Rogers, (SSBN659), was launched in 1966.
Some of his more popular saying were: “All I know is what I read in the newspapers.” “When I make a joke no one gets hurt; when Congress makes a joke it becomes law.” But, Rogers's most famous sayings was: “I never met a man I didn’t like.” It is the epitaph on his tombstone in Clairmont, Oklahoma.

Even after hearing directly from frustrated doctors during a special board meeting last Tuesday, Palomar board chair Linda Greer said in a statement Wednesday that she sees no reason to change her mind. The board approved the new contracts during a special meeting on Wednesday, June 16. According to the hospital district, Greer and members Jeff Griffith, Terry Corrales and Laura Barry voted yes while members John Clark and Laurie Edwards-Tate voted no. Member Richard Engle abstained.

“While we understand change is hard, I do not agree with the recent medical executive committee’s vote of no confidence in the executive team’s decision,” Greer said. “To the contrary, I have full confidence in the leadership team in place at Palomar Health and know they make patient safety a priority in every decision and must make tough decisions to lead the district to a better future.”

In 1955 my Grandma Ivanoff came to live with my family in our suburban Maryland home. She had to us travelled from Harbin, China, where she had lived most of her life. Grandma spoke only Russian, but she tried hard to learn English. This resulted in some unusual conversations.
One summer afternoon she and I stood in the backyard. A flowered apron protected her housedress as she carefully cut a bloom from a rose bush in my mother’s somewhat-weedy garden. She handed the pink blossom to me, pointing out the thorns so I wouldn’t get pricked.

Another bonus, particularly for those of us with a hearing loss problem is . . . it’s quiet. Peaceful. Relaxing.
We often opt for a nice, quiet booth and are able to easily visit with our table mates. Voices from other tables are muted . . . kitchen sounds of pots and pans are way in the back and don’t interfere with conversation, and if there happens to be music piped in, it is kept at a comfortable sound level. Add them all up, great service, generous servings of wine and food, more than reasonable prices, and a nice quiet restaurant and you have the reasons we dine at the Bamboo House frequently.
The Bamboo House has been here for well over 30 years . . a family owned business. Recently, the current owner, Conroy, bought the business from his uncle. He has done a great job of ensuring the menus retain the great flavors from both Mandarin and Cantonese cuisines.

Grandma’s eyes opened wide and she shook her head vigorously. “No!” She pushed the flower away from my face.
Then her forehead wrinkled as she struggled to find the word she wanted. She concentrated, and I could almost see her mentally thumbing through the Russian-English dictionary in her head, searching. I guess she finally found the right page because she started to laugh. “No, no, no! Not eat rose. Tea rose. Tea rose!”
And I nodded. She was telling me

It was my turn to laugh. I said, as relief spread across her face.
the Russian Orthodox church in downtown Washington, D.C. by herself. She walked to the local store through a maze of suburban streets with names she couldn’t read. And one time, after we had all moved to Philadelphia, she took one of my sisters and 11-year-old me by streetcar to see a movie in the city. (If I remember correctly, it was something new and amazing called Cinerama, where the movie was projected on a screen that curved around the audience on the front and sides.) I had no idea how to get around downtown if we got lost (this was many years before cell phones and GPS), but Grandma managed to herd us there and back, finally collapsing in relief when we went through the front door of the row house where we were living. Grandma Ivanoff definitely had guts.
While she lived with us, Grandma Ivanoff’s English got better and better, but was never perfect. She and I communicated mainly through hand gestures and facial expressions; her constant companion was a small, dog-eared Russian-English dictionary she carried with her and referred to often.
“Love you very,” she wrote earlyon in a birthday card I still have.
English has never been an easy language to master. Words sound alike and are spelled differently, and the same word can be pronounced in numerous ways. One day I came upon Grandma pacing back and forth, mumbling, with a puzzled expression on her face.
“Chicken. Kitchen. Chicken,” she repeated. “What, Grandma?”
She pointed to the room in the house containing the stove and sink. “Chicken? Kitchen?” she asked.
How could she confuse a chicken and a kitchen? Then it dawned on me. Of course she knew the difference between the objects, just not how the sounds were arranged in English. I tried saying them without thinking of the written words. They sounded almost identical to the untrained ear.
She never let the language barrier stop her, however. She was able to take a confusing series of buses to
My favorite picture of her (somehow lost along the way) is a blackand-white photo taken in the backyard of our house in Maryland. She is standing in front of a blooming forsythia bush, looking the way she always did. Her graying hair is parted in the middle and pulled back in a bun, wisps escaping in the spring breeze. Her housedress is layered with her ever-present apron, and on her feet are white ankle socks and the slip-on shoes she liked to buy at the discount store—the kind with rhinestones and sparkles on the toes.

"I can handle that without a problem," the other nun replied, and she picked up a six-pack and headed for the check-out. The cashier had a surprised look on his face when the two nuns arrived with a six-pack of beer.
"We use beer for washing our hair," the nun said. "Back at the convent, we call it Catholic shampoo."
Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter, pulled out a package of pretzel sticks, and placed them in the bag with the beer. He then looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled, and said, "The curlers are on the house." •••• Out bicycling one day with my tenyear-old granddaughter, Alex, I got a little wistful. “In ten years,” I said, “you'll want to be with your friends and you won't go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now.”

With that, the girl yelled even louder, “No, thank you! No, thank you!" •••• On the way back from a Cub Scout meeting, my grandson innocently said to my son, “Dad, I know babies come from mommie's tummies, but how do they get there in the first place?” After my son hemmed and hawed awhile, my grandson finally spoke up in disgust, “You don't have to make up something, Dad. It’s okay if you don’t know the answer.” •••• Just before I was deployed to Iraq , I sat my eight-year-old son down and broke the news to him. “I’m going to be away for a long time,” I told him. “I’m going to Iraq .”

Pastor Richard Huls (Retired). The 4th, Are we free and brave?
For as long as I have lived, there has been a celebration on the 4th of July. In my early and younger days a celebration was held in our little rural village in Michigan with fireworks, a marching local high school band, a parade of WW1 and WW11 veterans, pie baking contests, home baking and cooking, horse pulling contests, and lots of fun for us farm boys and girls.
As time has passed, so have those celebrations in all their purity and innocence. Today we march to a different tune. Picnics in far away places, occasional family gatherings, sensational city fireworks, and often lots of drinking. Underneath all of this, is a seething unrest of civil disobedience, racial disparity, homelessness, pandemic fallout, economic uncertainty, and a divided government.
Pet Parade
Ducks like Quacker Barrel make wonderful pets who can form very deep bonds with humans! Ducks are social creatures and appreciate being around other ducks. They need a completely predator-proofed outdoor space with fresh water to swim in. A small pond is ideal. Ducks eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as a balanced duck pellet. They should also be given fresh water for drinking that they aren't swimming in. With proper care, ducks can provide 5 to 10+ years of endless smiles with their adorable personalities and daily antics. Quacker Barrel is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3500 Burnet Drive. To learn more about making him part of your family, please visit sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-2997012.

In a civic club I belong to, we often sing, “God bless America, land that I love.” Hopefully, we do love this country. There is a refrain in the song, “land of the free and home of the brave.” Yet, we experience fear and uncertainty for our protection and safety with mass shootings, racial violence, social inequity, and a fear of reprisal, if we speak out to challenge with what we disagree. In a recent article about anti-Semitism, it claimed rabbis of many synagogues warn their people not to wear any marker of Jewishness in public for fear of their lives and families. We have the Asian communities, living in fear of violence to their persons and businesses. And we everyday Americans dare not speak our minds or express our opinions in public places or even in our social groups, lest we be called racist, bigoted, and narrow-minded. Can we be brave enough to tell the truth or do we withdraw and deny our convictions, or worse yet, live with fear of reprisal and persecution by those who disagree with us? Sad to say, much of our world lives under that cloud. The 4th is a time to seek freedom for all Americans, not just to say, do, and want personally at the cost of other’s freedoms. The home of the brave gives us the courage, with God’s help, to keep our nation in line with our Independence. For spiritual freedom call 760 7466611.

Celebrate the Fourth of July with San Marcos
The City of San Marcos will once again offer a memorable and dazzling fireworks display at Bradley Park this year! As we prepare for the 2021 fireworks display, we are asking residents to avoid gathering and enjoy the show from your own home, if possible. Simply look up! Since the City will not be hosting any of the festivities that typically accompany the fireworks display, we encourage you to spend time with family and enjoy the outdoor spaces in San Marcos. Spend the holiday cooking, eating and soaking up the sun! We can’t wait to invite our community back for the Fourth of July festivities next year! The annual fireworks display is funded entirely by donations from San Marcos residents and businesses. To contribute, please send your tax-deductible donations to: City of San Marcos Fireworks 3 Civic Center Drive San Marcos, CA 92069 Learn more about the event at www.san-marcos.net; online contributions are accepted.

The city budget has two main sections, the Operating Budget, which covers the day to day work of the city, such as providing fire and law enforcement services, parks and recreation, and other core services, and the Capital Improvement Program, which covers major construction projects. The spending plans have been developed to meet the needs of residents and businesses of the City, as well as City Council’s community priorities. The City is on firm ground with its financial health, infrastructure investments, and budget priorities. Both budgets may be found on the City’s website at CityofVista.com/budget.

By the time you read this the Orange Glen/Coronado H.S. incident will have run through the news cycle. But even though it is not front page right now, I feel compelled to comment.
We all know what happened, and we all know that it was wrong. The question that has bothered me is - why. I’m old enough to remember the civil rights movement in the 60’s. While there were many things needing fixing in our country during that time, and arguably there still are, the movement offered hope that we were heading in the right direction. Over the subsequent years, I felt that we have made progress despite some disturbing backward steps as recently as this past year. But what really bothers me about this incident, is that it was a sporting event. Even in the worst of times, we learned in sports to be magnanimous in victory and gracious in defeat. It was the one institution that rose above the conflict of the day. To see what happened after the game is nothing short of disturbing. As a community, we need to ask the tough question, have we allowed the politics of the day to corrupt the learning environment that sport provides? If we have, we need to fix it and fix it now. If it was an isolated incident, then we need to remove the poor mentors. But what we can’t do is not take time to pause and reflect. Stay informed, Be Kind, Remember your neighbor, and Stay safe!

Everyone gets “Phished” but you don’t have to be a “sucker.”
Mrs. Dillard and her husband were eating lunch when she answered the phone that Friday. The “operator” said “I have a collect call from your grandson in Julian California, will you accept the charges?” “My grandson Eric?” she asked.
The “operator” said, “are you Eric?”
Mr. Dillard said, “what the hell are you talking about, there’s no damned jail in Julian” Mrs. Dillard looked stunned. She interrupted the deputy, “my husband says there’s no jail in Julian.” The “deputy” took a deep breath and then said “well how am I supposed to know that there’s no Jail in Julian?” Their cover was blown and the phone went dead.
The Appraiser’s Corner By Jeff Figler
When I was in China a few years ago, there was a gentleman in my traveling group that owned a print shop in the Phoenix area. From an outside vendor he negotiated to buy 50 Rolex watches, one for each of his employees for about a dollar a piece. He wanted to be able to say that he was giving a Rolex to each of his workers as a bonus. Of course, it was even evident to him that the wristwatches that he purchased were not authentic Rolexes, and probably had parts that would only function for a minimal amount of time. However, putting aside the fact that the Rolexes that friend bought were probably fake, he wanted to purchase his workers a wristwatch. The wristwatch, at one time called wristlets for ladies, have become a much-admired fashion status symbol. They have been seen virtually everywhere, even on the Moon. In our fast-paced society, people need to know what time it is, even though the cell phone has somewhat captured that necessity. But the wristwatch is a relatively new phenomena. Many people think that a U.S. inventor devised the wristwatch. Not so fast. It was actually the Brits.

duced as well, along with a synthetic plastic to replace the fragile glass crystals.
However, the Rolex rare “James Bond” Submariner, issued in around 1958, was auctioned for over $107,000.
Next week we’ll continue the discussion on cyber-scams and how to avoid becoming a victim.
This hilarious scam fail is typical. Over 90% of scams do fail, but the small percent that find their “mark” make it a lucrative business for Cyber-crooks. Phone scams take many forms and sometimes a computer message is used to start a phone scam. Your electricity or water will be turned off, your car will be repo’d, your taxes are delinquent, you’ve been caught surfing illegal child porn sites. Usually the scammer threatens to deny or block your service, kill your credit, freeze your bank account or send a warrant for your arrest. The idea is to get you to panic and send them money to stop the process.
A male voice said, “Yes, tell her it’s me Eric, her grandson.” She accepted the call. Eric sounded panicky “I got arrested by the sheriff in Julian, my parents are on a trip and if I can’t pay my bail today, I’ll have to stay in There are several variations to the the Julian jail over the weekend.” refund scam. One starts with an email or phone call to inform you Mrs. Dillard asked, “what can we that you are owed a significant do?” Eric replied, “The deputy will refund, let’s say $1200. The caller tell you what to do”. The “deputy” asks the name of your bank and then took the phone and began telling her your bank site appears on your how to wire the money directly to screen. He asks you to access your

account so he can deposit your refund. The caller tells you that your screen will go blank for 45 seconds while he makes the deposit to your account. When the screen comes back on you see your account and the new deposit of $1200 is posted to your balance. You are happy. What really happened is that when the caller asked you the name of your bank it enabled him to connect you to a dummy site that appeared to be your bank. When you entered your access code the scammer passed you access code to an accomplice who
In the 19th century, soldiers discovered that their pocket watches were too clumsy and difficult to effectively operate while in combat. They needed a watch to be worn on their wrist, which would free their hands during battle. Although it is believed that the Germans may have used them during war as early as the 1880s, it was the Brits who popularized the wristwatch in their victory in the Anglo-Boer War in South Africa from 1899-1902. In 1906, the flexible bracelet, or wristband was devised, and metal covers were introduced soon afterwards. Wristwatches soon became a wartime necessity in England, and several companies were trying to keep up with the demand. The biggest producer at this time was Wilsdorf & Davis. The company, founded in 1905, was renamed The Rolex Watch Company in 1915. The leading proponent was Hans Wilsdorf. After the Great War (World War I), many soldiers returned home with their new souvenir trench watch. They were named that because there were commonly used in trench warfare. At home, they were looked upon as being fashionable for men.
By the mid-1930s, wristwatches accounted for about 65% of all watches exported by Switzerland. In 1931 Rolex devised the perpetually self-winding wristwatch with its Auto Rotor.
Over the years, dozens of companies have tried to compete with Rolex, including Omega, Vacheron Constantin, and Patek Phillipe. However, when most people think of a nice-looking, function wristwatch these days they think of Rolex. Collectors think of Rolex wristwatches as well when they think of vintage watches. And for good reason. They are made well, except maybe if you buy them in China. In addition, some of the prices amaze anyone, collectors included. Of course, auction prices are frequently inflated because of the watches being owned by celebrities. For example, in a 2010 auction, the wristwatch that John Kennedy wore in his 1960 Presidential campaign, in which he defeated Richard Nixon, was sold for nearly $24000.
Likewise, the Rolex given to the 1964 New York Yankees Tony A major advance was the truly Kubek, for being on the American waterproof wristwatch, which was League Championship team, was first introduced in Rolex’s Oyster, auctioned for nearly $24,000. in 1926. Metal dials were intro-
The 1928 wristwatch of New York Yankees player Lou Gehrig was sold for over $155,000. And finally, the watch “Michael Delaney” Heuer watch worn by actor Steve McQueen in the movie Le Mans sold for an astounding $650,000. McQueen’s own Rolex Submariner was auctioned for $234,000.
So the next time you’re in China, ask the street vendor selling Rolexes if the watches were worn by Steve McQueen or any other actor.

11th year in a row, all officers of the Valley Center History Museum were re-elected to a new one-year term at a meeting of the Board of Directors on June 16. It was the first in-person meeting since the pandemic forced the board to conduct business via Zoom.
Newly re-elected were William Boyett, president; Earl Brown, vicepresident; Nicky Lovejoy, treasurer; and Lynne Boyett, secretary. Midway through their decade-long leadership, Brown and Boyett had switched roles. The officers head a 12-member Board of Directors which operates the museum and oversees the Valley Center Historical Society.
Joining the Board of Directors will be Sharon Healey Bartholomew, a well-known community leader who heads the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her title in that organization is regent and the chapter's official name is DAR Center of the Valley. For more information, visit the museum at 29200 Cole Grade Road, call 760-749-2993.
