Cops ain't supposed to cry.

At least that's the public image they want to convey.

But they hurt. Just like you and me.

They just have to bottle it up and keep it inside them.

They see things no person should ever have to see . . and they hurt like no person should ever have to hurt.

But they hide it.

Inside.

And if they cry . . they cry inside.

"I remember one family that hit me particularly hard. A guy who had gotten his life straightened out. He had been sober for five years. Had moved back to Colorado and appeared to have it all together. He came back to Escondido to visit family . . . it was Christmas time.

He went to the mall alone and bumped into a "friend." He had a

weak moment and accepted fentanyl from his friend. He went home and overdosed in his bedroom. He had been doing so well . . . and then OD'd. His family called us. I responded and found him.

Typical signs of a fentanyl overdose. Blue lips, blue face, clear signs of a lack of oxygen, signs of vomit . . . it was not an easy death and not an easy call for me. That one hit me hard. They all hit you, but this one sticks in my mind."

for about a year prior to that.

"One of my first fentanyl calls was to an abandoned warehouse in Escondido. A homeless guy who thought he was taking meth but it had been laced with fentanyl. In this case someone called us in time.

We responded and found him unconscious and administered Narcam. He responded and survived . . but he had memory loss and some brain damage because he had been unconscious for so long."

In almost all of these cases, ingestion of excessive amounts of almost any opioids will cause some degree of brain damage," said Lieutenant Suzanne Baeder, Head of the Professional Standards Bureau, current Public Information Officer, and long time supervisor of the narcotics unit of the Escondido Police Department. "20 years ago we seldom heard of fentanyl. It was an east coast thing and even then it was a minor blip on the narcotics radar watch. Today, it has become pervasive. It's everywhere, all across the nation, including right here in Escondido."

"The fentanyl problem affects all ages, from 8 to 65 and beyond," said Officer Teyechea. "We see victims from fine, outstanding families, (but) 90% of what we see are within the homeless community . . but even there, the story usually is the victim had a job, tried Fentanyl, became addicted, lost his job, and then became homeless. But the addiction followed him and, often, winds up killing him."

"We see a lot of heartbreaking scenes," said Lt. Baeder. "I remember a case where we responded and found a Thanksgiving Meal on the table all set for the holiday . . . and found two people who had both overdosed. It turns out they thought they were doing cocaine but it had been laced with fentanyl and they

He was sick of the world, of Covid19, Trump, Russian belligerence, China, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.

Brad drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could. He got back into his car and wound down all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle.

Two days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Brad from the car.

Neither survived. That was a tough one to see . . . they all are."

"On another case we responded to, a mother with a young toddler went into the bathroom while the toddler was sleeping and snorted something (presumably fentanyl) from a pill.

The father of the child came to pick up the child and found the mother, dead, on the bathroom floor. Again, too late for Narcam."

"They all hit you hard in the gut. As members of law enforcement we are trained to 'compartmentalize' different cases . . . and we build walls, one for each type of case, that are supposed to protect us from getting involved emotionally. But a lot of these cases never leave you. Even after my shift is over and I return home . . . and try to regain a normal form of life . . . the memories will often come flooding back."

Officer Teyechea: "It hits me the same way. I have two children, ages 6 and 3, and I think of them and . . well, maybe I've just returned from responding to two or three Fentanyl calls, and I see what the results of fentanyl are . . . and those memories cause me to worry a great deal about the future my kids might be facing."

Lt. Baeder: "We sometimes will respond to 10 calls a day that are fentanyl related. Other days we might have two . . . but it's almost certain a day will not go by that we

What is Fentanyl?

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients, applied in a patch on the skin.

Because of its powerful opioid properties, fentanyl is also diverted for abuse.

How Is Fentanyl Taken?

As far as abusing fentanyl, it is taken in many of the same ways as

Fentanyl has seen an annual growth of fentanyl overdose cases.

Fentanyl is toxic . . deadly. The only known antidote is a nasal spray known as Narcam . . . it can, if administered in time, reverse the overdose effect. Even if the victim is revived via Naracam he or she is automatically and routinely taken to Palomar Medical Center where there are doctors on duty who have specific protocols to treat fentanyl (and other) overdoses.

The antidote for Fentanyl:

The great benefit of Narcam is that it is effective for reversing overdose symptoms on any opioid, not just fentanyl. There is no harm caused by administering the nasal spray. It also comes as an injection. Narcam has proven to be very effective with a high survival rate amonth victims.

It's Not a Just a Drug Anymore . . . It's Poison!

Last year, the leading cause of death in the United States for 18-45-yearolds was fentanyl. Fentanyl overdose deaths in 2021 exceeded 800 in San Diego County and will continue to grow in 2022 unless there is greater awareness and stronger policies in place.

Drug overdoses kill more Americans than car crashes, gunshots, or AIDS at its peak. But it's no longer just a crisis of prescription pills or heroin. It's a crisis of fentanyl.

Fentanyl is unlike any other drug problem in modern history. It's more useful to think of it as a mass poisoning than as a traditional drug epidemic.

“This is a new era,” said Bryce Pardo, the lead author of the new report and an associate policy researcher at RAND who specializes in drug policy. “We haven't seen anything like this since heroin first hit the streets more than 100 years ago.”

What Fentanyl Looks Like:

Fentanyl normally comes in either pill or powder form. The pill is

The pills are most often blue in color but have been found in other colors. A recent DEA Lab Study found that in counterfeit pills that contain fentanyl, nearly 4 out of 10 contained a potentially fatal dose of fentanyl.

Access to fentanyl:

Fentanyl is often made to look exactly like OxyContin, Xanax, Percocet, and others, and are being sold on Social Media on Instagram, SnapChat and Facebook. Teens often have several accounts on social media platforms, one that is "parent-friendly" and one that is hidden and private.

If it wasn't prescribed for you by your doctor and if it did not come from a legitimate pharmacy, chances are incredibly high that it is counterfeit and may well contain a potentially fatal dose of fentanyl, methamphetamine, a combination of both, or some other highly dangerous drug.

Often, the person supplying the fentanyl is known to your son or daughter. They go to the same school, they attend similar activities, they may even be good friends.

Your son or daughter trusts them and they have no desire to harm your son or daughter. In many cases the dealer has no idea the pill they give your son or daughter contains fentanyl. And that is just one

reason why fentanyl is such a terrible threat to our young people.

It is no longer necessary to go to "the shady part of town" to buy illicit and harmful, potentially fatal, drugs.

Recognizing a Fentanyl overdose:

With a fentanyl overdose the body becomes limp, and the person is unresponsive. The person may appear to be in a deep sleep. You may hear an exagerated, rough snore. This is the body struggling to get oxygen. Fentanyl is a respiratory depressant. Breathing may be slow, erratic, or non-existent.

The pupils in the eyes constrict to pinpoint. Lips and fingertips may turn blue, if light skinned, grey, if dark skinned. This is another sign of lack of oxygen.

What to do if someone is overdosing:

1. Try arousing them by shouting their name, or, something shocking, "the police are here!" 2. Use the knuckles of your hand to rub their sternum HARD! 3. If you get no response, call 911, say "not breathing," or "Nonresponsive." 4.

Perform rescue breathing, if needed. 5. If you have N aloxsone (Narcam) follow the directions on the box and administer a dose. 6.

Continue with rescue breathing, if

County Getting Ready for Naloxone Vending Machines

The County of San Diego is readying a new tool to help fight the growing number of opioid overdoses in the region.

The County will install 12 naloxone vending machines throughout the region by next summer, with half of them scheduled to go up by the end of this year.

Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, is a medication used to reverse overdoses by restoring normal breathing. The drug can prevent overdose deaths if used quickly and followed by medical treatment.

“Naloxone is a proven life saver in overdose situations and San Diego County Behavioral Health Services and its partners are working hard to expand access,” said Nicole Esposito, the County’s chief population health officer. “The enhanced distribution of naloxone into the hands of community

members is vital in saving lives that might otherwise be lost to overdose.”

Based on preliminary data, nearly 900 people died from accidental opioid overdoses in San Diego County in 2021. That’s a 55 percent increase compared to 2020.

Registration and use will be anonymous and free of charge. Anyone who wishes to access the vending machines must first complete an online training.

Once completed, individuals will receive a pin to access naloxone from the vending machines.

The Naloxone Distribution Program directly aligns with the San Diego County’s Comprehensive Harm Reduction Strategy, which was approved by the County Board of Supervisors last year. The program provides wrap-around services for San Diegans who use drugs.

In addition to the naloxone vending machines, the effort includes targeted outreach and trainings and partnerships with community-based programs.

Oceanside Police Arrest Suspect in Fatal Hit-and-Run Collision

Oceanside Police have identified and arrested a suspect in the hit-and-run death of 68-year-old Oceanside resident Cecilia Shu. After weeks of canvassing the neighborhood surrounding the accident site and vehicle collision centers, investigators recovered the suspect’s vehicle.

Combining physical evidence and witness statements, investigators identified the suspect involved in the collision as 34-year-old Oceanside resident Sean Richter.

Richter was taken into custody at the Oceanside Police Department on suspicion of felony gross vehicular manslaughter and hit and run with death.

Last year, fentanyl was the number one cause of death among Americans 18 to 45 years-old, according to data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

How Prevalent is fentanyl?

In 2021, the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) seized 6,354 pounds of powder fentanyl at the San Diego County Ports of Entry (POE) San Ysidro, Otay Mesa and Tecate.

Experts tell us one kilo of fentanyl could produce up to 500,000 lethal doses, which has the potential to kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Before the drug ends up at the lab, law enforcement has to find it.

Which is not an easy task.

Investigators say the Mexican Cartels hide it in everything from tires to water pumps.

health crisis. The board pointed out accidental overdose deaths caused by fentanyl have reached historic levels across the nation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that over 80,000 overdose deaths caused by fentanyl occurred in 2021 alone.

Data from the CDC shows that accidental deaths caused by fentanyl is the number one killer of people between the ages of 18 and 45, far exceeding the number of deaths caused by car accidents, COVID, heart disease, and gun violence within this age group.

According to board statistics, the number of people in San Diego County dying from accidental fentanyl overdoses has increased exponentially over the past several years.

Fifth District Supervisor Jim Desmond has been a strong leader in getting this message out to the San Diego County community, particularly in North County.

Escondido Mayor Paul McNamara has also taken a strong, leading role in calling for prompt community action to educate parents and community members as to just how serious this crisis is.

Fentanyl's Pervasive Growth

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that submissions of drugs seized by law enforcement and testing positive for fentanyl spiked more than 400 percent between 2013 and 2014, as the drug has been flooding the American market.

Fentanyl is commonly laced into various drugs.

Fentanyl is lethal in doses as small as 2 milligrams.

Fentanyl Drug Combinations

Fentanyl can be hidden in plain sight. The majority of the popular sleep aid Xanax (alprazolam) that is being sold on the street is counterfeit and likely laced with fentanyl.

Illicitly produced fentanyl can be pressed into pill form and passed off as other opioid pain relievers like Norco (hydrocodone/acetaminophen), CNN reports.

Why Are Various Drugs Being Laced With Fentanyl?

Illicit fentanyl is primarily manufactured in foreign labs, (China), then smuggled into the United

States through Mexico. The drug is then sold on the illegal drug market after being distributed throughout the country. Alongside illicit fentanyl that is being sold as such, there is also an increasing amount of other illicit drugs being sold that have been laced with fentanyl.

As there is absolutely no quality control in the black market of selling illicit drugs, it is impossible for a consumer to know if their drugs are cut with fentanyl, and if so, how much.

In 2021 alone, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has seized 9.5 million counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl and methamphetamine, which is more than the prior two years combined.

The counterfeit pills are illegally manufactured by extensive drug networks and are made to look identical to prescription medications such as Oxycontin, Adderall, Percocet, Vicodin, and Xanax. The pills are often sold on the black market through social media and ecommerce platforms.

As fentanyl is exceptionally potent, the risk of overdose from taking the drug is astronomical, particularly when taking it without knowing it, or when mixed with other drugs.

The risk and prevalence of fentanyl-laced pills has become so prevalent that the DEA issued its

first public safety alert in six years, warning individuals of the sharp increase in fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and meth. The statement came with some alarming news: more than 40 percent of black-market prescription pills contain lethal amounts of fentanyl.

Fentanyl is abundant, low cost, undetectable, and extremely potent. In an article published in the New York Times, the executive vice president of a drug rehabilitation center in New York City put it aptly by stating, “These are no longer street drugs. This is poison.”

Lethal, and Easy to Obtain

Fentanyl appears to have started becoming a major problem initially in Dayton, Ohio. A series of unexplained deaths in the fall of 2012 occurred. Police found a white powder that looked like heroin but tested positive for fentanyl. By 2015, as the crisis took hold, more than 250 people were dying of drug overdoses every year in Dayton and the rest of Ohio's Montgomery County. The death toll rose to nearly 350 in 2016. The year after that: 566. The coroner's office had to bring in refrigerated trucks to accommodate the dead.

“It was terrifying,” said Ann Stevens, who helped coordinate the response for the county's Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services agency. “These were people next door, friends and family.

The effects just rippled through the community. Everybody knew somebody.”

Today, fentanyl is a mail-order product, marketed on the open internet and shipped directly to consumers and dealers, no international drug cartels required. Some of it comes across the border from Mexico, but much of it comes from poorly regulated labs in China.

RAND researchers found several Chinese firms willing to ship a kilogram of nearly pure fentanyl to the United States for as little as $2,000. A shipment of heroin with the same potency would cost at least 50 times that much.

Drug dealers didn't need much imagination to see that they could cut a bag of heroin with cheap fentanyl and pocket the difference.

But fentanyl is not just cheaper than heroin; it's also up to 30 times more powerful, and some of its chemical cousins are even more potent. A dosing error equivalent to a few grains of salt will kill a person. Users wouldn't even know what was hitting them until it was too late.

'Mobilize as Quickly as Possible'

In Dayton, as drug overdoses mounted, the community pulled together. Neighbors, business lead-

Member Dick Daniels that I was pleasantly surprised at Mayor McNamara’s performance. “He got elected in what is generally regarded as “Republican Country” but he is a Democrat. But, so far, I’m impressed. He seems to be doing a good job.”

That’s when Jeff Epp made his profound statement: “I think Mac is about 10% Democrat and 90% of what is good for Escondido.”

That’s the kind of legislator I want!

One who serves his constituency first, one who serves the community over political party.

Mayor McNamara has worked long and hard to build Escondido . . .new businesses continue to open in downtown Escondido; we’re seeing businesses that have a location in other cities like Carlsbad, North Park and downtown San Diego opening locations here such as Barrel Republic, Mikko Sushi and James Coffee.

Our auto park continues to grow and thrive; dealerships are expanding and adding electric vehicle charging stations to accommodate the growing EV industry. Mercedes just opened their new facility and Cadillac is just completing an infrastructure upgrade with SDG&E for EV charging stations.

• We continue to have one of the most highly sought after business parks with one of the lowest vacancy rates in the county; it’s a convenient location for many businesses and it’s affordable. With the acquisition of Stone Brewing by Sapporo we anticipate to see growth in their local operations. We also recently welcomed Leap Coffee roasting and Thin Vine Wines. Acquacyle is a water innovation company that continues to grow and thrive in our business park.

Healthcare is our largest employment sector; we are fortunate to have the state of the art Palomar hospital and many great healthcare companies in Escondido.

The Paper strongly endorses both 5th Districdt Su[pervisor Jim Desmond and Escondido Mayor Paul McNamara for re-election.

They made a commitment to their constituency and they have kept it.

Elected officials like these are hard to find and retain. We need to keep them working for our respective communities.

The Paper says, re-elect Jim Desmond and Paul McNamara!

In coming weeks The Paper will be endorsing other candidates, many of whom we know and have worked with personally, some of which we don’t know but have or will have researched them and make our recommendatons based on multiple factors.

We are making our endorsements very early in the election season but we think it’s important our readers know our thoughts. Study the candidates, the issues, and then vote accordingly.

Spending Taxpayer Dollars Wisely

California’s spending priorities are often seriously out-of-whack. We spend billions on a bullet train to nowhere that few will ever ride, yet we refuse to spend available funds on new dams, reservoirs and aqueducts during repeated periods of drought.

Once-in-a-while though, we get it right.

Our local fire departments are essential for public safety, responding to the ever-present threat of wildfires, along with other life threatening emergencies like automobile accidents and heart attacks. Ensuring they have the means to respond quickly and effectively has been a big priority for me in Sacramento. Once again this year, I’m very happy that my efforts to obtain funding for local fire departments in our region have succeeded.

During the budgeting process, I was able obtain $8 million for the Deer Springs Fire Protection District to fund a new permanent station at Deer Springs Rd. and the I15 freeway. Centrally located along I-15 in North San Diego County, the station will act as a regional hub for critical emergency response throughout the region. Replacing trailers that have housed the facility for over 40 years with a larger permanent facility is essential for the station’s mission to safeguard the area’s growing population.

personnel. In addition, all four San Marcos stations need to install diesel exhaust removal systems to remove exhaust fumes from the apparatus bay areas to ensure firefighter safety.

These monies are in addition to the almost $3 million I acquired last cycle for three local fire districts: Valley Center, North County and Rincon. First responders protect our homes and lives every day. As your Assembly representative, I will continue to do all I can to make sure they have what they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.

Assemblymember Marie Waldron, RValley Center, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

I’m also very happy that I was able to direct $2 million to the San Marcos Fire Department, to be used for capital improvements on Fire Station #3, which requires extensive remodeling to improve safety and security for the building and for

What’s Being Done About Homelessness

Pollsters at UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies asked nearly 8,500 Californian voters, including 872 San Diegans, to choose two leading concerns they would like state leaders to address. The top two statewide concerns were, housing affordability and homelessness.

Whenever I meet with groups or people in our community, the most frequently asked question I receive is, 'What is being done about homelessness?' With nearly 50% of the homeless population living in California clearly, there's a problem.

It's a complicated issue that isn't helped by government bureaucracy as law enforcement cannot take someone off the street and provide them help if they refuse.

Rather than focus on what we can't do, I've been focused on areas we can help, including mental health. A large portion of our homeless population suffers from mental health issues, which is only exacerbated by living on the street, which many then cope with by using drugs and alcohol.

Just a few years ago, we didn't have a place for law enforcement or family members to take someone who was

suffering from a mental health crisis.

So, we've opened up three places in North County for anyone suffering from a mental health crisis to receive treatment.These are known as Crisis Stabilization Units and it's basically a mental health emergency room.

Three North County Locations: Escondido: 2185 Citracado Parkway, Escondido, CA 92029

Vista: 524 W. Vista Way, Vista, CA 92083 Oceanside: 1701 Mission Oceanside, CA 92058

Ave.,

We've also made major strides in North County by providing affordable housing units. Over 500 units in the past few years have been built. We are currently looking at affordable housing for seniors in Escondido at the old hospital site. Seniors on fixed incomes are suffering dearly due to inflation and the high cost of living. We want to make sure they don't end up on the streets.

A lot is being done when it comes to homelessness, even though changes may not be happening overnight.

There are many success stories out there and for those who want help, there are resources out there!

Travel Troubleshooter

Q: I recently canceled two flights and submitted a refund request with Delta Air Lines. Delta denied my refund but offered two e-credits for future travel. The problem is that they are both still listed as "open" with an "oops, we can't value this coupon" message.

I've contacted Delta's customer service department repeatedly, with no response. I then called, and after two hours on hold, a representative told me I would need to call Delta reservations to book flights manually.

This is just not an option for me. I need the e-credit so that I can easily book new flights. I can't find any good reason why Delta makes it so difficult for me to use credit for canceled travel. Would you please reach out to them and ask that they convert the open e-credits into two actual credits for $1,402 that they already approved? -- Theodore Schmiechen, Philadelphia A: Delta didn't have to refund your tickets, but it should have offered credits you could use. The type of fare you booked is nonrefundable, but you can still get a reusable flight credit. Delta never promises the credit will be easy to use.

So why would an airline make a ticket credit difficult to use? That's easy. If you face so many obstacles in redeeming a flight voucher, guess what? Chances are, the customer will never use it. And that means the airline gets to keep your money and give you nothing for it.

Pretty good deal for the airline, huh?

There are ways to prevent a problem like this from happening. First, you could have booked a refundable ticket. Unfortunately, those tickets are often ridiculously overpriced. They're often two or three times more expensive than a nonrefundable ticket. So, while you can get a refund for them, you'll pay dearly for flying.

Timing is important, too. You have 24 hours to cancel and receive a no-questions-asked refund on most airline tickets. So if you had canceled your flight within this time frame, you wouldn't have had to worry about the e-credits. You'd have all of your money back by now.

A qualified travel agent might have advised you on the best kind of ticket to book for your trip. Agents can sometimes bend a rule on refunds. A resourceful travel advisor can sometimes get a refund a few days after you book your ticket, even if it's nonrefundable.

Tickets are sometimes issued hours or days after being booked in your agent's system, giving them extra time.

But the best person to turn to in your case is you. I loved your case because it's a great example of

Page 7

effective self-advocacy. I supplied you with the names, numbers and email addresses of the Delta Air Lines executives. You contacted them, and within a few days, you had working e-credits.

Good job! I love the fact that you were able to fix this yourself.

Companies create seemingly impenetrable systems designed to turn away customers with legitimate requests. It's nice to see someone find their way over the get the outcome they deserve.

Problem Solved

Q: I rented a car from Turo in Baltimore recently. My family met our host at Baltimore International Airport, and he gave us the keys to the vehicle. Everything was going well, and we were enjoying our trip until a few days later when we could not find our rental in our hotel parking lot.

We called all surrounding hotels to see if it had been parked incorrectly and towed. I texted the host of the car and asked if he had picked up the car. The host did not know the car's whereabouts.

I then called Turo, and a representative told me to report it stolen. So I called the police. An officer asked for the owner's address and then informed me the car had not been stolen but repossessed by the lien holder.

I called Turo to report this, and they again advised me to report the car stolen. I called the police officer back. She told me that if I said the vehicle was stolen, that would be fraud.

I called Turo for days and days, asking for assistance. They gave me absolutely no support. I missed the last two days of vacation trying to track down our rental car to get our stuff out of it. The biggest problem was that my son had left his epilepsy medication in the vehicle. They are expensive, so I do not understand how Turo can hold no liability. They know their hosts are breaking the rules with their finance companies, and they let the customer suffer when things go wrong.

Things went very wrong in Baltimore, and Turo has done nothing to help me. They refunded the last day of our rental -- that was their only offer. I want my son's medications, our other belongings, and our rental fees returned. Can you help me? -- Michelle Marshall, Franklin, N.C. A: Turo bears some responsibility for your rental disaster. But the question is, how much? Technically, Turo isn't a car rental company.

Instead, it connects hosts who have vehicles they want to rent. Think of it as Airbnb for cars.

The rental agreement between you and Turo makes it clear that it's just

Historically Speaking

by Tom Morrow

It’s a Matter of Time

About the only occasion most of us take notice of “time” is when we have to keep an appointment, find out when our favorite TV program is aired, or cuss out the confounding “daylight savings time.

The definition of a time zone is a longitudinal geographic location that observes a uniform area for legal, commercial and social purposes. There are 24 time zones circling the globe. Time zones are 15 degrees apart longitudinally and often follow the boundaries between states and countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude degrees, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time … like railroads, airlines, and communications networks. The position of the Sun in the sky, known as solar time, varies by location due to the spherical shape of the Earth. This variation corresponds to four minutes of time for every degree of longitude, so for example when it is solar noon in London, it is about 10 minutes before solar noon in Bristol, England which is about 2.5 degrees to the west of that city.

The British Royal Observatory in Greenwich was founded in 1675, establishing “Greenwich Mean Time” (GMT), the solar time at that location.

Astronomers of that era developed GMT as an aid to mariners to determine longitude at sea. Today, U.S. military units refer to GMT as “Zulu Time.”

In the 19th century, as transportation and telecommunications improved, it became increasingly inconvenient for each location to observe its own solar time. In November 1840, the Great Western Railway started using GMT kept by portable chronometers. This practice was soon followed by other railway companies in Great Britain and became known as “Railway Time.”

Around Aug, 1852, time signals were first transmitted by telegraph from the Royal Observatory. By 1855, Great Britain's public clocks were using GMT, but that didn’t become England’s legal time until 1880.

Time-keeping on North American railroads in the 19th century was complex.

Each railroad used its own standard of time, usually based on the local time of

its headquarters or more important it’s terminus. The railroad's train schedules were published using its own time. Some junctions served by several railroads had a clock for each railroad each of which showed a different time.

In 1863, Charles F. Dowd proposed a system of hourly standard time zones for North American railroads. He took this action without consulting the railroads. Rail officials weren’t consulted on the matter until 1869.

In 1870, Dowd proposed four ideal time zones for the United States having north-south borders with the first centered on Washington, D.C. But, by 1872 the first time zone was centered on meridian 75 degrees west of Greenwich. Dowd's system was never accepted by North American railroads.

Instead, U.S. and Canadian railroads implemented a version proposed by the Traveler's Official Railway Guide.

The borders of its time zones ran through major cities’ railroad stations Canadian-born Sandford Fleming proposed a worldwide system of time zones. His proposal divided the world into 24 time zones. All clocks within each zone would be set to the same time as the others, but differing by one hour from those in the neighboring zones. He advocated his system at several international conferences, including the International Meridian Conference, where it received some consideration. Today, his system has not been directly adopted, but some maps divide the world into 24 time zones.

By 1900, almost all inhabited places on Earth had adopted a standard time zone, but only some of them used an hourly offset from GMT. Many applied the time at a local astronomical observatory to an entire country, without any reference to GMT. It took many decades before all time zones were based on some standard offset from GMT, also known as “Coordinated Universal Time. (UTC).

By 1929, the majority of countries had adopted hourly time zones, except Iran, India and parts of Australia which have time zones with a 30minute offset to UTC.

Today, all nations currently use UTC time zone system, but not all of them apply the concept as originally conceived. Several countries and subdivisions use half-hour or quarter-hour deviations from standard time. China and India use a single time zone even though the extent of their territory far exceeds the ideal 15 degrees of longitude for one hour; while others such as Spain and Argentina, use standard hour-based offsets, but not necessarily those that would be determined by their geographical location. The consequences, in some areas, can affect the lives of local citizens, and in extreme cases contribute to larger political issues, such as in the western reaches of China. In Russia, which has 11 time zones, two zones were removed in 2010, but were reinstated in 2014.

When I was a boy, my grandfather could look up at the sun and tell within 30 minutes, what time it was. He’d check himself by looking at his pocket watch as the trains came through town.

Bygone days.

ers, and community groups formed an emergency action team to track and respond to the crisis in real time. The health department offered free training for anyone to learn to use naloxfone, every Wednesday at noon. Clinics handed out test strips so that drug users could check their drugs for fentanyl.

It's hard to say what made the difference—the community response, the naloxone, or just changing patterns of drug use or supply. By 2018, overdose deaths had fallen by nearly half, from 566 to 289. Early numbers from 2019 suggest they were holding steady. But the community itself is still in recovery.

And Ann Stevens, whose agency helped rally the community response to the crisis, has some advice for communities in fentanyl's path: “Mobilize as quickly as possible.

Get everybody to the table. Every community in the country needs to see this as a public health crisis.”

The overdose numbers are down in Dayton. National news headlines don't point to the city anymore as an epicenter of the nation's drug epidemic.

an intermediary, which is why it initially offered a small refund and didn't cover the $850 worth of epilepsy medication your son had left in the vehicle. Turo's terms of service contain a limitation of liability clause that lets it off the hook for such losses.

But let's talk about that. I'm sure you already know that leaving valuables in your car isn't the best idea.

But if it's someone else's car, parked next to a hotel hundreds of miles from home, you definitely don't want to leave value, including prescription medications, in the vehicle.

Ultimately, your host was responsible for keeping up his car payments and following all of the rules set by Turo. You could have leaned on him, but somehow, I doubt he would have paid for your son's epilepsy medication. The next step would have been to contact someone at a higher level at Turo. You can easily find their names and emails online.

Even though you weren't entitled to a refund of your son's medication, or for that matter, for your rental, I think it was the right thing to do. I contacted Turo on your behalf.

"Since the incident, we have been working toward a resolution with this guest, including providing reimbursement for the trip and offering reimbursement for lost items," Turo spokeswoman Catherine Mejia told me.

Turo offered to reimburse you for your son's medication and your missing belongings.

ROE VS. WADE

It is with some fear and trepidation that I write this column about Roe vs.

Wade.

By now, most everyone knows of the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify this long standing action. We have violent protests from pro-abortionists and anti-abortionists. Anger seems to flare everywhere and at anytime. The argument centers on the women’s rights over their bodies and the right of the unborn. The Federal Government has tried to quiet the storm by assuring States Rights to determine the decision within their jurisdiction. There is little discussion, if any, regarding the conception - was it intentional, accidental, criminal ,and was it even considered in the sexual act of intercourse, or was there a thought to abort or not abort an afterthought? There is much to consider.

Some would say the issue is a social one. What does a clergyman have to say about this? The truth is that I have had a number of couples contact me about whether they should abort. This takes it beyond the hands of the politicians and even medical experts. It

becomes a moral and ethical issue, at least to some. So I will comment on the issue with my freedom of speech.

Abortion is the cessation of a life that has been brought uniquely into being.

To say one doesn’t want a conceived child simply because of economics, social hardship, or inconvenience calls for a moral judgment. I find little, if any discussion by anyone, on the morality of the act. Should religion be considered or a higher authority be included in the abortion issue, with a pregnant woman or social spokesman?

What should be done with an unwanted embryo, unborn (creature), or baby, depending on what one calls it (he or she) i.e. human being?

We can consider a number of choices.

Abortion is one of them. If there is no desire for a baby, try abstinence. If that doesn’t work, there is the rhythm method. There is always contraception, i.e. pills, condoms, and surgery.

Then we could practice what the Egyptians tried on the Jews by killing all the male infants. The Romans had the practice of throwing the girl babies in the rivers of Rome. Or one could be more enterprising, such as the Nazis and pay to have lots of children for the war and industrial causes. Society has always been creative in controlling human birth, such as in China or farming needs of large families.There are even those who would like to program births for talent and other social needs.

Would we want such a world? Are we moving in that direction? If there is no accounting to God as the supreme authority, nor moral order, then it will be as humanity, a la the individual, deems is his or her choice.

There is no doubt that our downtown summer scene is heading in the right direction. First, we live where many take their vacation, so the lure of a staycation is great. Plus, in addition to Vista’s summertime mainstays like the Wave Waterpark and Moonlight Amphitheater, there are new restaurants and brew houses making this summer a particularly good time to spend in the city. Some new businesses are even blending exceptional dining and drinking experiences with innovative visions to do better business, such as CoLab, Everytable, and Pure Project.

Our downtown area is so vital to the economic health of our community, and we have been thoughtful and diligent in how Paseo Santa Fe, Vista Village and the downtown corridor connect to one another. So, with the extra summertime daylight, we encourage everyone to enjoy Vista’s collection of businesses, restaurants, and shops across the city!

•••• (Sung to Frank Sinatra's "My Way," of course.)

I came, brought all my books, lived in the dorm, followed directions.

I worked, I studied hard, met lots of folk who had connections.

I crammed, they gave me grades, though may I say, not in a fair way.

But more, much more than this, I did it their way.

I memorized all sorts of things, although I know I'll never use them.

The courses that I took were all required; I didn't choose them.

I learned that to survive it's best to act the doctrinaire way.

And so I buckled down, and did it their way.

But there were times, I wondered

why I had to walk when I could fly.

I had my doubts, but after all, I clipped my wings, I learned to crawl, I learned to bend, and in the end, I did it their way.

And so, my fine young friend, now that I am a full professor, Where once I was oppressed, I've now become the cruel oppressor.

Like me, you'll learn to cope, you'll learn to climb life's golden stairway.

Like me, you'll see the light, you'll do it their way.

For what can I say, what can I do?

Open your book, read chapter two.

And if to you, it seems routine, don't speak to me, go see the dean.

As long as they give me my pay, I'll do it . . . their way!

(Words by Bob Blue, sung by Michael Cooney on Prairie Home Companion, April 18, 1987. Transcribed from broadcast by Tom Welbers.)

Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara

Greetings Escondido, Well, it finally happened, the city council of the City of Choice, Escondido, decided to give the voters a choice. It took 2 years, but last night (as of this writing) we were able to get the 4 votes ( 4-1 was the vote) we needed to put the Public Safety and Essential Services Measure on the ballot, and let the voters decide if they are willing to pay an extra ¾ of cent to maintain the quality of life standards in the city.

During the discussion we had to compromise, but we were able to get an acceptable solution on the table for the community to decide. One of the points that was discussed was how the monies were going to be spent. I think it is important to note that the monies are not extra, but rather monies that are going to pay a long overdue and ignored bill that is now demanding payment. The budgeting process will remain the same as it is now. The staff reviews the needs of the city and proposes a budget for approval to the council. The council in turn approves or modifies the budget each year.

I think it is important that the city council allows the people to decide on the community they want.

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

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

responsible for the warranty and maintenance. All Computer Factory PCs are built to “workstation standards”. Dell and HP also have their “commercial grade” PCs built to “workstation standards” but the “retail” PCs that are marketed on the WWW and through “big box” retailers like Best Buy, Costco and Wal-Mart are built to a much lower standard. “Retail” PCs have cheaper components and much shorter warranty periods than their commercial cousins.

The Computer Factory in San Marcos builds more PCs than HP and Dell combined!

While that is true, by now nearly everyone knows that Dell and HP don’t actually build PCs. Manufacturers in China build the Dell and HP PCs which are then sold through third party distributers, service and support are also provided by third party contractors. As a result, retail and commercial PC buyers are unlikely to ever actually meet an HP or Dell employee.

When you get your new PC at The Computer Factory, you will get to know us personally. Your PC will be built, tested and supported from our shop in San Marcos. You can even help with design details. The folks who design and build your PC will be

John Van Zante’s Critter Corner

Since the beginning PC makers have been “integrators” not “fabricators.”

As Vice President of Operations for Packard Bell in the late 1980’s, I built the PC assembly operation that made Packard Bell the number one producer of PCs in the World (briefly). My target was to be able to assemble, test and package each PC from start to finish using only .25 hrs (15 minutes) of labor. We achieved that goal using assembly line technology and pretested components. The PC industry has changed little since those early days.

None of the major players “fabricate,” they still purchase industry standard components and “integrate” them to create the finished PC. Today’s standard production PC (desktop/tower) has six basic parts; motherboard, CPU, RAM, SSD, case and power supply. These components are assembled and connected and Windows11 is installed along with any courtesy software. Our customers have the option to add peripherals like DVD, card reader or other integrated peripheral device. There are several differences between a Computer Factory Workstation and a similarly configured Dell or HP “retail” PC. The CF “workstation” will have higher quality and performance components like the ASUS motherboards and

August is a terrific month to celebrate pets.

August 8th is International Cat Day.

The 14th through the 18th is Feeding Pets of the Homeless Week.

This is a perfect time to make a donation to a pet food bank.

The 17th is Black Cat Appreciation Day and the 20th is International Homeless Animals Day. The 22nd is National Bring Your Cat to the Vet Day. Your vet will love you for this. Your cat? Maybe not so much.

Then National Dog Day is on the 26th.

Western Digital SSDs. The “retail” Dell and HP PCs will come with unwanted pre-paid junk-ware, adware, and pop-ups that must eventually be removed. Probably the most important difference between a “retail” PC and a Computer Factory workstation is warranty and service. If your Dell or HP PC develops a problem you’ll need to track down your warranty/repair source and get their permission to ship it back for repair. With us you simply bring it in. The much shorter, no hassle turn-around time can be important to many home and business users.

Special applications PCs for “high task” operations like gaming, editing, solids modeling etc. take about a week from design through assembly and test.

We stock new Windows11 workstations in several configurations and we have a large stock of “refurbished” commercial grade notebook, desktop, All-in-One and micros. If you are in the market for a new PC or a “commercial grade” refurb for your home or business we could be your first and last stop.
