Mark Twain had a live-in nurse whom he did not take a shine to, regardless of her good intentions. He even avoided voicing her name, and merely referred to her as “No. 5.” In his most charitable moment, Twain describes her in his memoirs, as such: “She was as healthy as iron, she had the appetite of a crocodile, the stomach of a cellar, and the digestion of a quartz-mill. She ate everything in sight, and washed it down with freshnets of coffee, tea, brandy, whiskey, turpentine, kerosene – anything that was fluid.” (“A Family Sketch,” a 64page handwritten memoir, unpublished for over 100 years, and kept in a vault at the University of California, Berkeley.) That Mark Twain (born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910) was a master storyteller is universally agreed upon. That he is required reading in the pantheon of great literature, is a great testament to our sense of value and greatly benefits our higher seats of learning, worldwide. And we are all too-familiar with his accolades, such as literature’s Nobel Prize-winning author, Ernest Hemingway’s pronouncement that: “All modern American Literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. American writing comes from that. There has been nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.”
And while it is true that this same Hemingway accused Twain of adding literary ‘fluff’ to his Huckleberry Finn masterpiece, which Hemingway described as ‘cheating,’ Hemingway nevertheless remained steadfast that there is no perfect anything and he continued to chant that Mark Twain’s masterpiece should be read, then re-read each year after that, just to remind us that it is the best book America has ever produced. Hands down.
And yes, I have read everything written by Mark Twain and I have chuckled, along with the rest of the world, at his hilarious anecdotes and observations of life. There seems to be no shortage of Mark Twain books, as well as biographies of the great man from Hannibal, Missouri. However, neither the books he authored, nor the biographies about his life, ever really seemed to drill deep enough to tap the well of his existence. In plain language, I wanted to see the deeply personal man

behind the genius; the cause behind the effect; not a cursory glance of him that his biographers superficially sketched.
What formed him? Yes, Tom Sawyer is a peek into his youth – but what shaped Tom Sawyer? I knew there was a deeper – much deeper – private life that the world had never really seen. He was no ordinary man. He lived a life most un-ordinary. And The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn were, yes, glimpses of Mark Twain’s youth growing up along the mighty Mississippi, but these narratives were caricatures at best, and not the true genesis nor the formula that begat Mark Twain, himself. First off, it should be made clear that this article has no intention
of debunking Mark Twain, either as an author or as a human being. Primarily, because I see no justification to do so. No one is perfect, and we all have serious flaws. To state otherwise would be the height of human arrogance, not to mention blind, Biblical conceit. Come with me now, as we board a time machine and journey back, back into the past to confront and experience the real Mark Twain, and see a world few have peered into. A world which has been – by and large -- overlooked. Much of Mark Twain, until now, has never even seen the light of publication. Why is this so? Well, that was the way Mark Twain, himself, wanted it. The author, himself, made this demand: that his true, unedited autobiography was not to be published until 100 years after his death. Yes, all this, plus other unpublished documents have

made their respective way into print, and now we can better view this extraordinary man whom many scholars have tagged, “The Quintessential American Novelist.”
But, much of what constitutes Mark Twain, has always been there, scattered about in bits and pieces that have long-been published, fifty, eighty, a hundred years and more. These various snippets of his life just needed to be sewn together to better form a mosaic of the man’s primary inner core. There is a long-standing catch phrase which states that, “The Child is the Father of the Adult,” which means a child’s upbringing often determines the outcome of the adult-to-be in later years. This certainly seems to have played a major role in forming

Mark Twain’s character, regarding life in general, and politics, and religion, in particular.
Twain’s acrimonious view of organized religion and Biblical accounts, for example, can be traced to his earliest years when he was forced to attend Sunday Services. These formative years as a mere child, left an indelible imprint that lasted his entire lifetime. These were the beginnings of his darkest lifetime moments that decimated and traumatized a young Samuel Clemens. Church sermons and hymns in his upbringing days were long, tortuous, and mournful, aimed at lost souls and eternal suffering and damnation in hellfire. To Samuel Clemens, a mere child in bloom, God seemed to be nothing more than a menacing brute, an overbearing Big Policeman up in the sky, just waiting to pounce on him with curse after curse in retaliation for his sinning and ways gone wrong. In her excellent account of these horrific days for Samuel Clemens, gifted author and unexcelled biographer, Nora Stirling, writes with great emotion of young Clemens’ nightly visitations, which scarred him forevermore: “Sam, knowing he was doomed, tossed and screamed in nightmares each Sunday night, but each Monday morning he was back at his sinning ways; and so he went, piling up a reserve of guilt and fear that was to last the

They weren't in my pockets. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the car's ignition. He's afraid that the car could be stolen. As I looked around the parking lot, I realized he was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband: "I left my keys in the car and it's been stolen."
rest of his life.” (“Who Wrote the Classics,” Vol. 1, by Nora Stirling) It is punishing to just imagine a human child, literally, waking up screaming at the top of his lungs, in nightmares, each and every Sunday night. And yet, it was so.
In full adulthood, Samuel Clemens – who now morphed into world-famous celebrity, Mark Twain -- often dipped his pen in vitriolic ink: “If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be – a Christian.” And, “Surely the ass who invented the first religion ought to be the first ass damned.” Since his boyhood days, Mark Twain was certain that God, in retrospect, punished him with tragedy after tragedy for his wayward ways of smoking, cursing, and hating school.
One particular moment in Twain’s boyhood forged a dagger in his brain and led him to believe – all his life – that he had, inadvertently, murdered another human being. According to Mark Twain’s own memoirs, this is what transpired. At the tender age of fourteen, Twain was in the company of his boyhood chum, Tom Blankenship (whom Mark Twain transformed into Huck Finn in his Huckleberry Finn novel; Mark Twain, himself, became Tom Sawyer). One particular night the two young teens took note of a vagabond drunk who was placed in the town’s oneroom jailhouse and decided to pay him an unauthorized visit.
There was a moment of silence. I thought the call had been disconnected, but then I heard his voice. "Are you kidding me?" he barked, "I dropped you off!"
Now it was my turn to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me." He retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this cop that I didn't steal your damn car! " ••••• Growing up is a weird notion to wrap your mind around. As you go through life, your perspectives on almost everything will change. How you define success will change as well. Things that you thought were important at the age of 35 will be useless when you’re 65. You may not realize it now, but everything will shift. At age 4 success is not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is having friends. At age 16 success is having a driver’s license.
At age 20 success is having sex. At age 35 success is having
Peering at each other through the jail bars, the derelict finally asked the two youths for a light for his old smoking pipe. It was against town rules to even converse with the incarcerated; it was triplewrong to hand him any matches. Not one for rules, Mark handed the drunk some matches. Short time later, the boys, now at the opposite end of town, noticed a bright orange ball illuminating the evening sky. Running back to the jailhouse, it was too late. Engulfed in an unforgiving inferno, the frantic screams from a man tearing at his bars was suddenly silenced. The dead man was only the first of many tragedies that Mark Twain would blame himself for. He felt certain, the Big Judge in the sky (the Biblical God), was reaching out to punish him for all his wrongdoings, all his transgressions, all his careless behavior. Mark Twain would later write, “. . . the swindle of life and the treachery of a God that can create disease and misery and endless crime – create things that men would be condemned for creating – that men would be ashamed to create.” Truths often couched in humor have long been a Mark Twain trademark. However, when wrestling with such raw experiences such as death, suffering, and pain, Twain often took off the gloves and wrote his thoughts down hard, bareknuckled, uncensored, and unfiltered with humor. The celebrated author never relished the company of Christians, nor subscribed in their belief-sys-
money.
At age 60 success is having money. At age 70 success is having sex. At age 80 success is having a driver’s license.
At age 85 success is having friends.
At age 90 success is not peeing in your pants. It all comes full circle, whether you like it or not. ••••• Retire to the South? Florida
A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. 'Amazing,' he thought as he flew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida State Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then
tem and, in fact, boasted that his early church-tending days seemed happily over.
“Nothing agrees with me. If I drink coffee, it gives me dyspepsia; if I drink wine, it gives me the gout; if I go to church, it gives me dysentery.”
And yet, Mark Twain found it most ironic that his supreme idol was a Catholic saint, by the name of Joan of Arc (The Maid of Orleans). “It took six thousand years to produce her; her like will not be seen in the Earth again in fifty thousand.” (“Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc,” by Mark Twain, 1896.) She was the summit of Twain’s admiration, “She is easily and by far the most extraordinary person the human race has ever produced.” (“Saint Joan of Arc,” by Mark Twain, 1919.) Equally ironic is that the celebrated American was traveling through the Holy Land as a correspondent when he chanced upon a portrait of a young, staunch Christian girl, petite and slender, and with piercing dark eyes and, suddenly, his mind was reversed. Reversed regarding comporting with Christians, and also in regards to the fairer sex. As a journalist and lecturer, he had often boasted that he was a confirmed bachelor. “I’ve never had the wish or the time to bother with women.” Now, something strange

120. Suddenly he thought, 'What am I doing? I’m too old for this!' and pulled over to await the trooper’s arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the Corvette. He looked at his watch, then said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding, a reason I’ve never heard before– I’ll let you go.."
The old gentleman paused then said, "Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back." "Have a good day, Sir," replied the trooper. Georgia

and indefinable crystallized within Mark Twain, now in his thirties, and he heard himself say, “I could worship a girl like that.” And he did, for the remainder of his life. Mark Twain had found his other half of existence, in the form of his wife-to-be, Olivia Susan Langdon (“Livy”). She was the best thing that ever happened to him, and their love was unparalleled by any standard. Forty years after they married, Mark Twain said, “From the first day I saw her, she has never been out of my mind.”
But, Mark Twain was ever leery of that Big Judge up in the sky (the Old Testament God), ready to pounce on him for his every transgression, past to present. When Twain had lost his father earlier in his life, who died at the young age of 49, he blamed himself, because he felt God was punishing him through his father’s death. Same when he lost his brother, Benjamin, struck down as a mere child of ten. His life seemed a cursed one. A cursed one in spades! He had lost his sister, Margaret, who died at age nine, leaving Mark, a confused toddler only four years old. Then, curse upon curse, he lost his other brother, Henry, when death claimed him at the young age of 20. Mark was 23 when his brother, Henry, died, and he felt as though the moon and the stars had fallen upon him. The trauma, torment, and confused pain, all pressed upon his young psyche, and shredded it. Surely, he thought, God’s long judgmental hand eagerly swatted him. “God, so atrocious in the Old Testament, so attractive in the New – the Jekyl and Hyde of sacred romance,” he once wrote.
It is little wonder he turned with reckless abandon, to rough-housing, cursing, smoking, and a taste for liquor early on and which persisted through later years. But surely, Livy -- now his newlywed wife -- could save him from his irreverent ways. Part him from his taste for liquor, cigars, and profanity. Smoking and liquor can be modified, she reasoned, but the profanity had to go. Once, when Mark Twain was getting dressed he blew his fuse when he found a missing shirt button. He launched into irreverent language, cursing that would have caused the Seventh Fleet to blush! Unknown to him at the time, Livy had heard his every curse word from behind a door. Lifting her petite and tiny voice as best she could, she aimed at shaming her husband by repeating his every word back to him. “Livy,” Twain said, very shocked, “did it really sound like that?” When his wife answered, “Of course it did, only worse. And I wanted you to hear just how it sounded.” Mark Twain stood straight, to his full height, pulled down on his shirt, cleared his voice, and said, “Livy, it would pain me to think that when I swear it sounds like that. You got the words right, Livy, but you
don’t know the tune.” (“A Family Sketch,” Ibid)
Again, disaster was close behind. Livy gave birth to a little boy (Landon Clemens, 1870) and they all soon moved to Hartford, Connecticut. Out riding with the baby on a frigid day, Mark accidentally let the blanket slip from the baby’s legs, unnoticed, and the infant caught cold. Diphtheria set in, and he died soon after. Mark forever blamed himself for bringing such a curse upon his only son. He never forgave himself. Nor the God overhead who oversaw everything. At times, Mark Twain felt at rope’s end. But, the drama unfolding in his private life was not through with him yet. Over time, his daughters were the beacon in his life: Susy, Clara, and Jean. But wife, Livy, she was the valve, the pump, the ventilator which kept his heart going, and for a while, life seemed good. His family was his everything.
But, slowly, little by little, he saw his precious family begin to vanish. One by one, he saw them go. Susy, the eldest daughter, died first. She had become ill when Mark and wife, Livy, were abroad, on a worldwide lecture tour. Daughter Clara went with them to Europe; Jean was too young and stayed home, with Susy. Mark was in London when a cable reached his hand, announcing the death of his daughter Susy. She had died of spinal meningitis. And he was not there for her. Mark blamed himself again, for his wayward life and the curse he brought down upon his precious family, or so he thought. He was devastated beyond words, and it is amazing he did not take his own life. In his own words, he scarcely believed he was able to survive this ordeal, “It is one of the mysteries of nature,” he cried, “that a man, all unprepared, can receive a thunderstroke like that and live.” For a long period, there was no laughter in the house, neither were there any birthdays, or any observance of Christmas. All such celebrations were halted. It ate at him, because he knew his precious daughter, Susy, had made such fun and laughter and celebration over these days, and he could no longer bear it without her presence. Twain was so diminished by his daughter’s death that he never returned to live at the Hartford House, which is now a museum.
On June 5, 1904, the cruelest blow imaginable fell squarely upon Mark Twain’s already crippled existence. His beloved wife, Livy, long ill, had quietly passed away. She was the cornerstone of Mark Twain’s earthly existence. He felt no strength left. He wrote with soul in hand, after the death of his wife, a letter to his wife’s brother, “I am a man without a country. Wherever Livy was, that was my country.” His daughter, Clara, had collapsed after her mother died. She had to be committed to a rest home for a period of time. And even though Clara continued to
live long after, and eventually married, she was never, ever the same person she once was. Mother-Daughter bond was so great, that Clara had never fully recovered from her mother’s death. Daughter, Jean, body ravaged by seizures brought on by epilepsy, also had to be committed to a rest home. In 1909, Jean, his 19-year-old daughter, suffered her final seizure and drowned in her bathtub. It seemed like Mark Twain’s agony and tragedy paralleled Job’s in the Old Testament Bible. How cruel, Twain thought. Mark Twain, wrote concise words that crystallized his most inner thoughts, “The problem I’ve had with Christianity is that God’s defenders try to make him seem somehow the victim of man’s sin. If he really is all-knowing, then he knew, even before the beginning of time, that his human creations would disappoint him and thus ‘earn damnation.’ So why did he go ahead and make us anyway, if not for the sadistic pleasure of torturing us in hell by the billions?” Soon after, Mark Twain’s best friend, American financier, Henry Rogers, who had once salvaged Mark Twain’s life from bankruptcy, died. Twain had once written a concise volley that summed up his heart and spirit, “If god does exist, he is a malign thug.” All this had fallen upon him, America’s premier novelist and essayist. And all through these deadly and unforgiving trials and tribulations, Mark Twain turned to what he did best – writing. He wrote books that brought us joy and fulfillment and wonder, and he authored anecdotes that tickled our every funny bone. It is the absolute zenith of irony, that this poor, tormented man, from the debris of his own existence, somehow created a beautiful, literary kingdom, seldom seen on Earth.
Mark Twain’s resiliency is supreme and unmatched. “Will I ever be cheerful again, happy again? Yes. And soon,” he wrote in his diary. “For I know my temperament. And I know that the temperament is master of the man, and he is its fettered and helpless slave and must in all things do as it commands. A man’s temperament is born in him, and no circumstances can ever change it.” On his 70th birthday he never lost his touch. He stood and faced the huge gathering of friends, dignitaries, and loved ones before him and said, “I have achieved my seventy years in the usual way: by sticking strictly to a scheme of life which would kill anybody else.” The crowd laughed through tears and understanding of what he said, and the road he had had travelled. “It sounds like an exaggeration, but that is really the common rule for attaining to old age . . . . I will offer here, as a sound maxim, this: That we can’t reach old age by another man’s road.” His books and all he authored, were his underpinnings. The man who stood before them on his
70th birthday, was the Mark Twain the world seldom saw, or even knew. When he was asked if he feared death, he replied with a smile and a chuckle, “I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit.” He never recovered from the death of his wife, Livy. As usual, he blamed himself and felt that the Almighty had punished him through her death. Six years had passed and he still felt alone without her by his side. Yes, he could laugh again, but not in the same way as before. He had often remarked, “Oh, how I wish I was with Livy.”
In 1909 he was fond of repeating, “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year (1910), and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment in my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.’” Though he never felt self-pity, that is not to say he never felt lonely, at times, as all humans do. And though he was resilient and strong in emotional constitution, he never recanted his views of how wicked life could become and summed this up by stating, “There has been only one Christian. They caught him and crucified him – early.”
On April 9, 1910, Halley’s Comet actually made its closest approach to Earth. Almost as if it were pausing along the way to pick up a passenger. The very next day, a stunned world discovered the dead body of Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain. His oncekinetic body, at age 74, was now motionless. His hand forever stilled. His tongue now silenced. The tending physicians determined that Mark Twain had heart failure, due to angina pectoris. It is typical of Mark Twain to make such a grand exit, boarding on the legend and lore of Halley’s Comet. It seems too coincidental. We had Mark Twain for 74 years here on earth, and that time now seems far too brief. His life was like a comet, itself, shooting across the horizon, brilliant and dazzling along its path. Today, he remains among the most misunderstood, and misquoted authors in world history. He was a chameleon, who seemed able to change color, or shape, or so it seemed. He was many different things, to many different people who all said they knew him.
His nature was unpredictable at times, and he was a firebrand who danced to a different fiddler. He once took his black butler, George Griffin, with him on a visit to his publisher’s office. The scandal and outrage it produced

On June 23, the City of Carlsbad Police Department arrested Dawn Snow, 52, of Murrieta, a former employee of KemperSports, on charges involving the misuse of public funds at The Crossings at Carlsbad, the city-owned golf course. The charges include multiple counts of burglary, grand theft and embezzlement totaling in excess of $595,000 during Snow’s seven-year tenure as Kemper’s controller at The Crossings golf course. Snow left her position at KemperSports in August 2014.
“We take any possible misuse of public funds by a city contractor very seriously,” said Interim City Manager Kathy Dodson. “The Police Department has conducted a thorough investigation, and now the case has been turned over to the district attorney’s office for prosecution, which we will fully support.” KemperSports has handled all golf course operations and management through a competitively bid contract with the City of Carlsbad since the course opened in 2007. KemperSports managers notified City of Carlsbad staff in October 2014 about possible misuse of a company credit

card by the former controller. Following an internal investigation conducted by KemperSports, the company reported its findings, which included the possible theft of public funds, to the City of Carlsbad Police Department on Nov. 26, 2014.
“This appears to be a case of one, long term employee who abused her company’s trust,” said Dodson. “Nonetheless, we will be conducting a thorough internal review of our management protocols to ensure city contractors are held to the very highest standards when it comes to financial controls and oversight of city funds.”
Upon learning of the alleged misuse of public funds, the City of Carlsbad immediately initiated its own independent audit of golf course finances dating back to 2007. The findings from this audit were provided to the District Attorney’s Office to assist in the prosecution. KemperSports has committed to reimburse the city for all losses suffered by the city as a result of these crimes, said Dodson. Snow was booked into the Vista Detention Facility

Man About Town
I have long lived my life following the principle that “all things happen for a reason.” A corollary to that principle is, “Everything happens, pretty much the way they were supposed to happen.”
Both philosophies came front and center the past Sunday.
I had journeyed down to Lindbergh Field to pick up Evelyn Madison (The Social Butterfly) who was returning from the International Kiwanis Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her flight itinerary called for her to land in San Diego at 10:07am. She was to have called me from Las Vegas where she changed planes and confirm her arrival time.
Pleasant drive to San Diego, pulled into the cellphone parking lot. Checked for phone messages on my cell. Nothing. Time passed. Repeated phone calls to Evelyn’s call got her voice mail. I began to worry. She was a half hour late, then an hour. Finally, I checked our home phone voice mail and there she was, advising me, hurriedly, that she was dashing from one plane to another and she would be leaving at 11:16. Clearly, she had missed her earlier Las Vegas connection. (I learned later she had a really late departure from Indianapolis due to equipment problems with her Southwest plane; they had to fly in a second plane.)
Suddenly relieved (I had begun to worry what had happened to her) I checked on her arrival time. 12:30. An hour to wait. And here’s where I made a smart, smart move. Instead of waiting in an airport parking lot I headed to Shelter Island.

What a beautiful place to wait for a late arriving plane.
A beautiful bay, full of sailboats at anchor, other sailboats entering and leaving the bay; here a fisherman in a small rubber boat, fishing with two or three lines (which I think is illegal, but I ain’t tellin’ . . ), at peace with the world. He had a floppy hat on to protect from the sun; I remember wondering if he had a bottle of ice water with him. Mighty small boat, not much larger than an inner tube, but he was having a wonderful time. Didn’t matter if he caught fish or not. He was at peace.
Several other kayakers, paddling about, enjoying the bay and the sun . . . at least one of the kayaks was on a fishing trip. Again, I got the impression they didn’t really care if they caught anything or not. They were at peace. And so was I.

in 1893, of a white man and a black man, seen together – as equals -- under such circumstances, was pyrotechnical. It produced such a vocal outburst, that Griffin was embarrassed. Mark Twain was resolute and defiant. He later wrote of the embarrassment it created: “But not for me, for the companionship was proper; in some ways he was my equal, in some others my superior.” (“A Family Sketch,” Ibid)
A most touching moment occurred in 1895 when Mark Twain met with 14-year-old Helen Keller. Pressing her fingers gently on Twain’s lips, he proceeded to tell her an amusing story. All along the narrative, the young teenage Keller, both deaf and blind, broke out in laughter at all the right places, as Twain punctuated his story with humor. Her tiny fingers ‘read’ his lips, and her dark world suddenly lit up with laughter, and sunshine, and all the things that make children happy. Deeply touched at her childlike innocence, and in spite of her being cursed in eternal darkness, Twain saw something he had long overlooked. For what little in life this small fragile child had, she was supremely confident. She was supremely optimistic. She was supremely happy! He later wrote: “She is a fellow to Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, Homer, Shakespeare, and the rest of the immortals.” (“History, Letters,
Literature,” by Mark Twain.) Though she could not talk, and even though she was totally blind, the 14-year-old Helen Keller had taught Mark Twain much, in his twilight years.
Mark Twain was a master storyteller, and words were his medium. But, in the final chapter of his life, his fondest and most eloquent words were plain and simple, as if they came from a small boy running barefoot along the mighty Mississippi. Yet they were majestic words, for they rang of truth, and they rang of beauty and they rang of undying love: “Oh, how I wish I were with Livy.”
Coincidence or not, Halley’s Comet came on his birth year. And came back for him on his last year on Earth. Just as he said it would. Seems he got his two wishes. He wanted to be with his beloved wife, Livy, and his personal comet, like a chariot, took him home. ••••• Frederick Gomez is a frequent contributor to The Paper (though not often enough.)

In any case it now appears the district is to have one defunct hospital and two possibly overloaded hospitals with the newest in Escondido incomplete and having seriously inadequate parking, all not to mention a half billion dollars in bonded debt
We’re not saying that under these financially painful circumstances the decision to close the hospital is wrong. Obviously the board is now doing what they must for the district to survive. But the circumstances surrounding the board’s decisions and their lack of communication with the public to whom they are responsible raises serious questions. Was this financial outcome not predictable at the time they moved forward to build a new hospital? Was the districts’ commitment to keep the downtown campus open simply a hollow promise to secure public approval for a proposed new campus? /s/Sid Colquitt Escondido, CA.

Dear editor
While my wife and I were traveling to San Diego to root on family members running in the San Diego Marathon, we picked up a copy of the May 28th issue of "The Paper." We found the arti-
cle "The Day They Hung Chipita" to be extremely interesting and well written.
Our enjoyment of "The Paper" continued as we read the "Daily Chuckles," the "Local News" and several other articles. It was refreshing to read positive and cheerful articles, rather than the gloom and doom headlined by big city papers to increase circulation. Thanks for helping to make our stay in the San Diego area one that we will long remember. /s/Tom Rudolph Pittsburgh PA

Mr. Editor:
I came across this (attachment) in an old periodical some time ago and thought it may, with a bit more research, make a quite interesting story; especially now. It seems that sOme people are not happy unless they can “stir the pot.” Even the family programs on tv have disagreemens and dissatisfaction over absolutely nothing.
I plan to be a lifetime subscriber to your weekly edition of The Paper. It is always a “good read” and sometimes it’s a “great read,” and the jokes are very good. Sometimes it takes me two days to finish the jokes because of the laughing in between. All in all, I really enjoy The Paper.

Extreme Water Meddling will be Counterproductive
The State budget agreement earlier in June was really only the beginning of a series of intense discussions involving “trailer bills” that deal with specific issues not included in the main budget itself.
Senate Bill 88 is one such bill. This legislation, which I opposed, will have significant impacts on California agriculture. SB 88 received final approval on June 19, passing the Assembly in a 52 – 28 party-line vote. Specifically to address complex issues relating to management of groundwater and providing adequate supplies of safe drinking water, SB 88 bypasses existing laws by granting massive new authority to the State Water Resources Control Board. Among these are new powers to require consolidation of virtually any local water agency in California deemed

History Center Happenings in July – The Escondido History Center is planning a great Independence Day Celebration in Grape Day Park on Saturday, July 4th. The Museum will be open from 4-7pm. There will be games, crafts, and contests for kids from 4 to 7:30pm. The main stage has a great lineup of bands beginning at 4pm, and at 8pm the 1st Marine Division Band plays for an hour, then the fireworks start at 9pm, NO alcohol, BBQs, dogs, or pop-up tents allowed. Be prepared to park elsewhere and walk in as the Woodward Street parking lot will not be available as that is where they set up the fireworks. The Walking Tour will be led by the dynamic duo, Dick and Ann Rothwell. Tour Old Escondido West with them to see homes in a variety of architectural styles in the Historic District. Meet on Tuesday, July 21st at 6pm, at the NE corner of Grand at Broadway. For “Movies in the Park” grab the kids, low-backed chairs or blanket, cash for the snack bar and get ready for fun. Start the evening at 7pm with games with Escondido Recreation, then a family-friendly movie airs at dusk: Saturday, July 11, Despicable Me; Saturday, July 25, Big Hero 6; and Saturday, August 8, Wreck-It Ralph.

to have limited water supply reliability. SB 88 allows restrictions on drilling new wells and on deepening existing wells. Cities and counties would be allowed to limit crop changes on farms, even potentially limiting planting altogether if new crops increase demands on groundwater. Local jurisdictions will be allowed to deputize enforcement officers to issue citations with penalties as high as $10,000 per violation. These penalties, often for relatively minor infractions, would be imposed administratively and without due process, something American citizens rightfully expect as a basic civil right. If these new powers were limited to drought years, they might be acceptable. But these changes, adopted after less than one month of discussion and review, represent a permanent expansion of government power, a direct assault on liberty and a serious threat to California’s vast agricultural economy.

Tuesday morning. The case will now be handled by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. Arraignment is scheduled for June 24 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 14 of the Vista Courthouse. ECCHO Fined $2500 for Campaign Violation by FPPC
ECCHO (Escondido Country Club Homeowners Organization) has been hit witH a $2500 finE by the Fair Political Practices Commission.
Although they won the election in their campaign against Michael Schlesinger, the developer who heads up Stuck in the Rough, LLC., they wound up on the wrong side of the election laws. “On or about June 2, 2014, the Homeowners Organization started soliciting and receiving contributions for the purpose of opposing Proposition H and, in response, formed the ballot measure committee Keep It Green Escondido to manage their campaign in opposition to Prop. H.,” says a recent stipulation filed by the Fair Political Practices Commission.
The group raised a total of $16,000 to beat back Schlesinger’s measure, then failed to report it until early this year. “The seriousness of the violation is aggravated by the fact that donor information for contributions totaling approximately $16,000 was not disclosed to the public until after the pertinent election.” But since the group was “an unsophisticated filer,” it got off with a $2500 penalty. Schlesinger spent over $1 million in his losing election bid.

The Survey Line That Marks Four U.S. States
In 1763, two rather obscure surveyors settled a border dispute involving Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Today, the demarcation line drawn for the map of Colonial America serves as a border for the above three states, plus West Virginia.
The names of those two surveyors have lived on through a civil war to present-day America. The survey line drawn by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon is the unofficial cultural border separating the north from the southern states. The term “Dixie” came into being and has since been a term

designating the southern states.
The dispute was created in 1681, by King Charles II, when he granted a colony charter to William Penn. Previously, a 1632 royal decree had granted Charles Calvert, Baron of Baltimore, the colony of Maryland.
Maryland's charter granted the land north of the entire length of the Potomac River up to the 40th parallel. Charles’ Pennsylvania grant caused a problem. His grant defined Pennsylvania's southern border as identical to Maryland's northern border, but described it differently because the King relied on an inaccurate map. The terms of the Pennsylvania grant indicated that Charles II and William Penn believed the 40th parallel would intersect the so-called “Twelve-Mile Circle” around what is today New Castle, Delaware, when in fact it falls north of the original boundaries of the City of Philadelphia, the site of which Penn had already selected for his colony's capital city.
In 1681, negotiations began to solve the problem. The next year, King Charles II proposed a compromise, which might have resolved the issue, however, it was undermined by Penn when he received the additional grant

of the "Three Lower Counties" along Delaware Bay, which later became the Delaware Colony, a satellite of Pennsylvania. Years later, in 1732, the proprietary governor of Maryland, Charles Calvert, 5th Baron of Baltimore, signed a provisional agreement with William Penn's sons, which drew a line somewhere in between and renounced the Calvert claim to Delaware. But later, Lord Baltimore claimed the document he had signed did not contain the terms he agreed to, and refused to put the agreement into effect.
In the mid-1730s, violence erupted between settlers claiming various loyalties to Maryland and Pennsylvania. The border conflict became known as Cresap's War. Progress was made after a court ruling affirming the 1732 agreement, but the issue remained unresolved until Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron of Baltimore ceased contesting the claims on the Maryland side and accepted the earlier agreements. Maryland's border with Delaware was to be based on the “Transpeninsular Line” and the “TwelveMile Circle” around New Castle. The Pennsylvania-Maryland border was defined as the line of latitude 15 miles south of the southernmost house in Philadelphia
(on what is today South Street). To settle the dispute, Penn and Calvert hired British astronomer Charles Mason and surveyor Jeremiah Dixon to survey the newly-established boundaries between the Province of Pennsylvania, the Province of Maryland, and the Delaware Colony. It cost the Calvert family of Maryland and the Penn family of Pennsylvania an enormous amount of money to have the 244mile border surveyed, but the two families considered it money was well-spent because there was no other way of establishing land ownership between the two colonies. After Pennsylvania abolished slavery in 1781, the western part of the colony and the Ohio River became a border between Virginia (today West Virginia), separating slave and free states. Delaware retained its slavery until the 13th Constitutional Amendment was ratified in 1865.
Today, various survey markers can be found along the four-state borders, some on private property, so owner permission is necessary to see them.

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 they do. Using compassion and our expert-

Microsoft Windows 10, Part 3-conclusion
Microsoft’s failure to recognize the significance of the Internet in the 90s and mobile Internet use in the 2000s left them badly behind the learning curve in those technologies. Complacent with their 92% share of OS (operating systems) for PCs, Microsoft lost the early opportunity to leverage their dominance in PCs into dominance in smart phone and tablets. Now Google and Apple share and profit from over 90% of that business while Microsoft has less than 3%. With mobile device sales still growing and PC sales not growing, Microsoft is desperately trying to find a way to capture revenue from mobile devices, applications and advertising. So far their attempts to crack the mobile markets have met with limited success. In a June 2015 shake-up, Microsoft put

Covert built himself an Empire and he was the Emperor, the Master of all he surveyed. And an arrogant one at that.
It’s a pretty sure bet that about a year ago Covert saw the handwriting on the wall. The revenue simply was not there to service the debt. He probably should get out of town on his terms rather than the public’s when the figures became public. It’s been a long time since a community member has been ridden out of town on a rail, or tarred and feathered, but if anyone ever deserved the honor Mike Covert did. So Mike Covert manipulated yet another hospital board to hire him, I’m sure at an outrageous salary and perks, and got out of town ahead of an angry lynch mob.
One of the leading lights in the movement to pass the bond issue that helped build the beautiful Taj Mahal Hospital we presently have west of downtown Escondido was prominent attorney, Ken Lounsbery. Ken is a former City Attorney and City
The most significant improvement in Microsoft’s OS has been the upgrade to 64 bit code circa 2007. Until then, the old 32 bit OS could address only 3.2GB of memory. A 64 bit OS can address virtually any amount of RAM. In the past 15 years Microsoft’s OS has done little to change or improve the way we use our PCs.
A brief history of Microsoft’s OS since the coming of 64 bit follows. Vista (2007) was 40% slower than XP and stuffed with goofy ideas from the “propeller heads” on Vista’s development team. Win 7 (2009) was basically Vista with the goofy stuff removed. Windows 8/8.1 was basically Win 7 with the much hated “Metro” touch screen style user interface. Its unpopularity broke the previous records held by Microsoft ME and Vista. Win 10 is basically Win 8 without “Metro” (which makes it Win 7) but slimmed down so it fits on smart phones and tablets as well as PCs. In order to do that Microsoft had to dump some features like Media Center, games, and a few other things that we don’t know about yet. Windows 10 will not allow you the luxury of controlling upgrades. When Microsoft changes something it will automatically install on
Manager for Escondido; he’s also prominent in governmental affairs and land use. His is a respected voice in the legal community and the community at large. He supported Mike Covert and the bond issue in large part because of Covert’s assurances that there would remain a significant hospital presence in the downtown Escondido area.
“They made me into a liar,” said a frustrated Lounsbery. “I don’t like that. Not one bit.”
Lounsbery has worked for years to develop his very solid professional reputation . . . so when someone sullies his name or tarnishes his reputation, he takes it personally.
We asked Lounsbery if any personal liability or culpability attached to Mike Covert. Could he be charged in civil or criminal court for defrauding a community because of misrepresentation and manipulation that may border on fraud?
“Hard to say without researching the matter,” he said. “Is puffery and arrogance sufficient cause of action for a complaint? Probably not. There’d have to be some kind of forensic audit to determine any actionable causes . . . my

your Win 10 PC, phone or tablet.
Win 10 is supposed to stimulate the sale of Windows branded mobile devices by giving users a seamless Microsoft OS linking all Microsoft powered devices (Xbox, smart phone, tablet and PCs). Since phone and tablet makers have had little incentive to switch from Android to Windows, Microsoft bought Nokia’s phone and tablet business in 2013 in order to have a captive manufacture of mobile devices. Another purpose for Win 10 is to stimulate the sale of “Cloud” and Microsoft “company store” apps. In theory, Microsoft’s business and retail customers will be able to buy all kinds of useful and fun stuff for their phones, tablets, game boxes and PCs at the Microsoft on line “App Store.” If Microsoft succeeds in boosting its mobile presence they will also enjoy
increased advertising revenue opportunities from their browsers and search engines.
Microsoft has made a very good living for decades selling OS to PC manufacturers and software to users. Now as their OS sales are in decline Microsoft must find a way to replace that lost revenue. They seek to do that through the sale of mobile devices, applications, cloud services and Internet advertising. Windows 10 is a key part of that strategy. The problem is that Win 10 has nothing new to offer Win 7 or 8 users. Microsoft will surely sweeten the pot as users continue to hold off on the free Win 10 upgrade. Our advice is to stand back and wait a few months. Don’t rush to do a potentially problematic, one way upgrade that may give you less than you already have. Let’s wait and see.

No more does the Roynon Museum of Paleontology have to operate out of a small converted garage in an Escondido neighborhood.
After 15 years in a south Escondido neighborhood a neighbor (who has since sold his property and left the area) complained to city officials about the museum and city officials issued orders to close up shop and move to an appropriate new location. It took some effort but it’s getting done.
New location, new name. Soon, the museum will be known as the Roynon Museum of Earth Science and Paleontology, and will be located at 457 E. Grand Ave. in downtown Escondido near the old Palomar Hospital building. The larger space is “a must,”

Escondido Drought Response
Municipalities and water districts throughout the state have been assigned a water conservation goal. The City of Escondido is expected to achieve a 20% conservation rate. Everyone in Escondido has tried their best to conserve water.Last month’s actual conservation rate was 11%, good, but not enough.
Since nearly 60% of residential water use is attributed to landscape irrigation, the “easiest” way to save water is to reduce DAR Chapter Honors Members/Spouses - The Santa Margarita Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), a Vietnam War Commemorative Partner with the Department of Defense, honored two of their members and their spouses for their efforts during the fall of Saigon.
Jacquie Berzins, Aivars Berzins, Linda Ramos, Adele Lancaster Adele Lancaster and her husband, Thomas, fostered seven Vietnamese children who had been separated from their families. Jacquie Berzins and her husband, Aivars, were on Guam during the fall of Saigon. Aivars was in the Navy and tasked with converting Orote Point, a jungle
outdoor watering of ornamental landscape – grass, flower beds, etc. To meet our target, the Escondido City Council has modified irrigation water restrictions throughout the City as follows: Homes with odd-numbered addresses Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday Homes with even-numbered addresses Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday Apartments, condos, mobile home parks, and businesses - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Their service was acknowledged with a certificate and DAR Challenge Coin by Regent Linda Ramos. DAR Honors Eight Local Students
Set your irrigation timer to the correct dates and for a maximum of 7 minutes per station. It is also required that you irrigate between the hours of 6pm and 10am.
IF Escondido water users are not able to collectively meet the goal, stricter restrictions will be considered to prevent water use fines in excess of 150% of current water rates. Simply put, we can’t afford not to meet our target savings.

Pastor richard Huls (retired) Changing Times
It has been said , “that you can’t go home again.” Recently I tried to do that by visiting my childhood home village in Michigan. But the village was not the same. Now, they have stores open on Sunday, alcohol is sold in a social club, houses are bigger and more costly, and the small farmers struggle to compete with the corporate monoliths. Even the church is not the same. No one wears a suit, not even the preacher. They don’t use hymnbooks, but project the words (often unfamiliar) on a screen. A band composed of drums, guitars, horns, and casu-
Such is the world we live in today. Royalty marry commoners, blacks marry whites, Protestants marry Catholics, men marry men and women marry women. People change their sex. We use common restrooms. We wonder how it all started and where it will all end.
Some fight the changes. Others condemn them. Biblical Scripture is quoted to prove that God hates these changes, while others use the same Scriptures to prove God condones them. Many question what is right or wrong. Does the Government or culture tell us how to live and what to believe? It reminds me of a song in the musical, Oklahoma, “What’s a Poor Girl to Do?”Is it the beginning of the end or are we just going through social and cultural changes?
I find comfort in the theme of the Fourth of July, a reminder of our nation’s heritage, freedom of speech, religion, and the press. I have a God given right to believe and do as I am convicted, allowing “others” the same right. Just don’t try to take that away from me.

Annual Fourth of July Celebration
With the Fourth of July right around the corner, the San Marcos Fire Department reminds all residents that all fireworks are best left to experts.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, thousands of people, including children and teens, are injured every year while using consumer fireworks. Even something as “harmless” as a sparkler, which burns at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, can cause critical injuries and pose a serious fire hazard. Additionally, two out of five fires reported on Independence Day are started by fireworks. Residents can safely enjoy a FREE fireworks display during the annual Fourth of July Firework Extravaganza at Bradley Park on Saturday, July 4. Entertainment and festivities begin at 6 pm with the firework show at 9 pm.

greater concern now is, if they do, in fact, close the downtown hospital, and if they do, in fact, save $20 million annually, will that be enough to meet the financial difficulties the district is having? And, if not, what do they propose to do? From this perspective it appears to us that the Board of Directors of the Palomar Health District must have known for some time about the deep financial problems. It has to have been at least a year in the making. This did not just happen overnight. This brings into the question the matter of transparency.
Why was the public, and all those others who had an investment in the project, not kept in the loop and given the information as it was developed? Why conceal it? This was true of the prior board as well as the currently elected board. We should all have answers from the board, both past and present. We seriously doubt the public would support any additional bond issue, after the painful experience we’ve suffered, and continue to suffer, after supporting the most recent hospital bond issue.
Bob Hemker, as we see it, is blameless. He worked with and for Mike Covert as the Chief Financial Officer, and was a likely choice to succeed Covert when he, Covert, fled the scene. Hemker has had to make some difficult choices and recommendations. What other options are there other than closing the downtown campus?
It seems that Hemker and his staff made the only recommendation to the board they could have made . . . and the board cast the only vote they could have. I don’t much like it but I understand it. Where I am very critical of both staff and board is the lack of transparency. We should have known about this problem long before it was presented to us as an item that required an instant, and painful, solution.
The “town hall” meetings the board held in order to impart information to the public and to hear the concerns of the public were little more than a public relations show that fooled no one, and appeared, in fact, to be "panic meetings," with little public input/questions allowed. Then the board cast its vote. In executive session. Why not cast it in a public meeting?
What is the big secret that cannot be revealed to a trusting public? Was the Brown Act violated? We are told Covert snared himself a job in Houston running a network of six hospitals owned by a multi-state health system, Catholic Health Initiatives.
Apparently, he was able to manipulate their board as easily as he did ours. Our condolences to the folks at Catholic Health Initiatives - but we can’t dwell on their problems. We have our own wounds to lick and help heal. The question now becomes: what are we going to do?
Will the hospital have to file a re-organization under Chapter 9? Will the hospital be able to sell or lease the property to someone else and, if so, what type of revenue stream might we expect from that action?
Is Kaiser Permanente interested in buying the downtown facility and operating their own North County facility (instead of working within the present new hospital with a number of beds committed to Kaiser and Kaiser physicians on call?) Or, would Kaiser Permanente be interested in buying the interests of Palomar Health, thus converting the new hospital from a public hospital to a privately owned hospital?
There may be other options. If so, we’d love to hear them. And we would recommend they be placed before the current Board of Directors of Palomar Health. More importantly, we urge the Board to listen. Not listening to the people is partially what got us into this mess.
Had the earlier board listened to the warnings about Mike Covert (as publicized repeatedly in both cover stories and editorial commentary by The Paper) and taken appropriate action, we might have saved a great deal of money paid out needlessly, and not made a lot of the commitments we are now locked in to. For too many years elections to the Palomar Health District Board has been an item of little interest to the average voter. The public knew little about, and cared less, about the Hospital District. We all should now realize that these are very important elected positions and we want to have the best and the brightest on that board . . . making the best and brightest of decisions and policies. And doing the necessary due diligence to avoid hiring someone like Mike Covert.
The Paper • Page 17 • July 2, 2015 Long Term Solutions for Southern California. Water Needs
John Smylie, Attorney At Law
I was a Graduate Engineering student at UCLA in 1955. One of my research projects was to determine water sources to satisfy the water requirements fot Southern California based on population projections. The world was simpler in those days. Imperial County Water District was charging $12.00 per acre foot for Colorado River water. They just had to hire people to open the water gates on their canal system. It was a gravity fed system. Los Angeles had some of the best tasting water in all of California from the Owens River. There were no legal restrictions on the use of Owens River water at that time. Los Angeles had no real problem.
The solution for San Diego became clear. San Diego water districts should seal the unlined Imperial Valley Water District canals and purchase the water saved from Imperial Valley water district. In that way there would be minimal water loss from the sealed canals. Imperial Valley farmers would retain their water supply from the Colorado river.
The RAND Corporation performed a similar study two years later. I believe it was published in 1959. Their study reached the same conclusion. Not only was it financially profitable for both water districts, but the water rights of Imperial Valley water district were superior to any other users. That plan is now being implemented after fifty years. It takes that long to obtain approval from the various public agencies and to satisfy the environmental studies and to overcome legal complications. What about the future? Solutions are available, but it may take fifty years to put any of those into operation.
The Federal Bureau of Reclamation has a project still on the record to bring surplus water from the upper Missouri River. One plan would
recharge the Ogalalla aquifer. Another would bring it to the Salt River in Arizona. The pumps supplying the Central Arizona Project could be reversed to pump the water back to the Colorado for California water needs.
There was also a proposal to construct an underwater aqueduct from the mouth of the Columbia River to California. Senator Jackson from Washington violently opposed that concept. He is now deceased. Maybe California can re-initiate that study. The Colombia River discharges at least ten times the volume of the Colorado River. I will do some research on that concept and prepare another column on that project. It will take action by many the public agencies to begin any of those projects.
Our Vallecitos Water District board of directors is one of the most forward looking agencies. They began their waste water reclamation program many years ago. Perhaps they could initiate interest by the Bureau of Reclamation to further plan on long term solutions. The Chinese are planning on connecting the Yellow River and the Yangtze with aqueducts and canals which would be the same magnitude as the upper Missouri River aqueducts.
The United States could start a Manhattan project or Apollo to the moon type program. It could be done in ten years with enough effort. Perhaps the California legislature could direct some of the money already authorized on water projects to perform preliminary engineering studies on the Missouri River or Columbia River diversion term projects.

American Legion Auxiliary Hosts Countywide Girls State Tea In May, the Escondido American Legion’s Post 149 Auxiliary hosted the 2015 Girls State Tea for the County of San Diego’s American Legion Auxiliaries and their selected delegates to Girls State. In attendance with the selected delegates, and their parents, were auxiliary members from twelve different American Legion Auxiliary Posts throughout the county who announced the delegates selected and sponsored by their Post. This Girls
State Program is a nonpartisan leadership program in each state of the Nation, except Hawaii, that teaches young women an awareness and knowledge of governmental processes while learning about the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of citizenship. This year’s California Girls State will be held June 28th through July 3rd at McKenna College, Claremont, California, and is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of California.
At Girls State, high school girls who have completed their junior year spend an intensive week of study, working together as self-governing citizens. Girls have an opportunity to run campaigns and to be elected by their peers for positions in local, county, state, and federal government positions in preparation for their future roles as responsible adult citizens. Girls were selected by school officials to be considered for the program and were then interviewed by auxiliary committee members for final selection as a delegate. Thirty-three delegates were selected to attend Girls State from the county this year. Escondido’s J. B. Clark’s Post is sponsoring five delegates:

said Keith Roynon, the museum’s longtime owner.
Keith Roynon has traveled worldwide and has spent a lifetime collecting fossils, skeletons and replicas of skeletal discoveries.
Roynon, 76, say he plans on expanding the size and scope of the museum, including settng up displays of larger exhibits to include dinosaurs.. Jeannie Nutter, the museum’s assistant director, called the expansion Roynon’s “lifelong dream.” “He has been collecting exhibits for the museum for over 70 years,” she said. “He’s excited he’ll finally have a place to showcase everything in a way it should be.”
The museum will have about 3,000 square feet of floor space with room to grow and for the first time will be open to the general public, not just school
groups.
Roynon, a retired antiques dealer, has been collecting fossils all his life.
Since 2000, he has provided tours for thousands of small children — mostly on school field trips. The museum features about 10,000 fossils and skeletal reproductions of dinosaurs and kids also participate in hands-on workshops where they learn about rocks and the Earth’s formation.
Nutter, next door neighbor to Roynon, said, “He can spread out a little bit. Right now we are so crammed tight. He also has things he wants to add to the collection.” The lease is for three years with an option for more.
“We’re just starting the demolition of what’s in there and pulling permits to redesign it to meet our needs,” Nutter said. “Our target date to open to the public is mid-August.” Tentative plans for the new museum will be to continue having classes for school kids in the morning, then be open to the general public on weekday afternoons from 1 to 5 p.m. On weekends the museum will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Plans include a gift shop.
“We’re going to have to go with the flow because we’ve never been open to the public. We don’t know what the demand will be. A lot will depend on volunteers and demand,” Nutter said. For more information as a volunteer worker, or to inquire about the proposed gift shop, cantact roynonmuseum.org.
