DEDICATION: This article is dedicated to all our readers who have stopped me in recent weeks on the sidewalks, supermarkets, etc., all asking me to write about the heroic Search and Rescue (SAR) dogs that silently suffered, served, and saved human lives at Ground Zero during our nation’s most tragic terrorist attack at New York’s World Trade Center. This article is also dedicated to all our brothers and sisters who perished that fateful day, on September 11, 2001. For they shall never be forgotten.

I have never written about these heroic Search and Rescue dogs before but now, thanks to our readership story-suggestions during this month of September -- I have now.
OVERVIEW RECAP OF 9/11 CIVILIAN FATALITIES. Over 2,600 people who were either in the World Trade Center or on the ground at the time the Twin Towers collapsed, perished. 9/11 FIRST-RESPONDERS FATALITIES. Well over 400 emergency workers in New York City would die. This would include
343 firefighters, 71 law enforcement officers, 8 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics, one member of the FBI and one U. S. Secret Service agent, and a chaplain. LITTLE KNOWN FACT: 9/11 DEATHS CONTINUED TO MOUNT IN THE AFTERMATH. Unknown to most of the general public, 9/11 fatalities continued to grow years after the deadly occurrence. In 2007, the New York City medical examiner’s office began to add people who died of illnesses caused by exposure to dust and other contaminants from the Twin
Towers scenario. Some victims later died of chronic lung cancer, raising the overall number of fatalities from the collapsed site to 2,753. Other post 9/11 victims did not all perish but continued to suffer various maladies. Over 33,000 police officers, firefighters, responders and community members have since been treated for injuries, sickness, respiratory conditions, mental health problems such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), deep depression, gastrointestinal conditions and at least 4,166 cases of cancer. In 2015 Congress signed into law a permanent healthcare

SEARCH AND RESCUE DOGS (SAR). Many managed to escape before the Twin Towers collapsed. Many did not. After the towers collapsed, only 23 individuals (in or below the towers) escaped from the debris, including 15 rescue workers. An unknown number of people survived the initial collapse but were buried in air pockets deep beneath the rubble and could not be rescued in time. The last survivor removed from the collapsed debris of the World Trade Center was found in the ruins of the North Tower, 27 hours after it collapsed. The unsung and forgotten heroes during the horrific 9/11 ordeal comprised an unlikely composition of Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Collies, Rottweilers, and scores of mutts of questionable pedigree. Despite their different bloodlines, these 4-legged canines would come together as a powerful, elite group of specially-trained “Search and Rescue Dogs” that would shock even their handlers with a devotion and unconditional love for human life that exceeded all expectations.
Armed with incredible faculties, the

dogs were estimated to possess 220-million “sniffer cells,” empowering them with an acute sense of smell at least 1-million times more refined than any human being. Added to this arsenal was their ability to detect sound vibrations at 250 yards (the length of 2 ½ football fields), all critical factors in searching-out human lives buried beneath the deadly rubble. But most importantly, these specially-trained units of canines had an innate, unconditional love of human life and companionship that drove their dedication, determination, and motivation to the limits of exhaustion and nearcollapse. As Tom Fahy, of the Passaic County Sheriff’s Department, and SAR handler of his dog “Jax” explains it: “The dog seeks a live person in hopes the survivor will play with him. If he’s not finding a live person, then there is no one to play with him.”
Regarding the Search and Rescue dogs’ tireless devotion to protecting and saving human lives, Gerald Lauber of the Suffolk County SPCA, translates this canine love in simple terms that tug at the human heart: “All they really want to do is work hard and love you. How can that not raise the human spirit in us all?” The mysterious, uncharted love which these dogs show for human beings has long-baffled animal behaviorists. The strength of loyalty and unconditional love cannot be

measured by human terms.
In one scenario, a Search and Rescue Dog named “Worf” located the dead bodies of two missing firefighters on the first day. The dog moaned as if crying inwardly then, circled once, then twice, and laid down, curled up on the very spot where the firefighters had been buried beneath the debris. His handler, Mike Owens, sensed the dog’s depression and deep sorrow. The level of sadness and depression ran so deep in the SAR canine that he began shedding profusely, quit eating, and refused to play with the other dogs. According to Owens, of the Southwestern Ohio K-9 Search and Rescue Unit: “The German Shepherd kind of withdrew from everything. There was so much death there, it was too emotional for the dog.”
SAR UNITS CAN SENSE TRAUMA, DEATH, AND HUMAN EMOTION. For those victims caught unconscious beneath the rubble and unable to yell for help, their unconscious, unmoving traumatized body can, miraculously, still be ‘sensed and detected’ by these amazing dogs. As unbelievable as it may sound, these heroic dogs can actually sense things beyond human understanding. As one trainer puts it: “These dogs have been trained to pick up on trauma and goes towards it. So they pursue people they perceive as being in a state of trauma.” THEY

FERED BURNS. Working alongside their handlers, these 4-legged heroes worked tirelessly climbing atop huge piles of rubble while fires still smoldered, sometimes burning the paws of the dogs who suffered silently, not wanting to be stopped in their frenzied search for victims.
VETERNINARIANS/CANINE AMBULANCES ATTENDED TO SAR DOGS. Sharon Gattas of the Riverside Urban Search and Rescue Unit gives us a rare glimpse into the sacrifice these noble animals endured in their quest to save human beings: “They go underneath into void spaces, anywhere the dogs can get into! The site is very difficult agility for the dogs. They’re crawling on their bellies and squeezing through things. It’s incredible to watch!”
The driving force of love powers the animals to continue searching for human lives. It became necessary to have veterinarians stationed at the site to help care for these suffering, non-stop canine units working 12-hour shifts on hot smoldering debris. Veterinarians had to monitor the dogs that needed to have their paw pads, eyes, and noses cleaned often. Cynthia Otto, associate professor of toxicology and director of the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory, marveled at the commitment of these SAR dogs. No words could adequately explain the canine’s loy-

alty and love to the point of laying their own lives down to save humans. And all the dogs ask for, is to be petted and accepted and loved in return. That’s their only reward.
It became apparent very early-on that it was necessary for Canine Ambulances to be stationed at a makeshift canine medical camp. One tired rescue dog gets a drink of water during a rest break from searching through hot smoldering rubble. His name is “Bear” and he is one of the first dogs to arrive on the scene and tugs hard on his handler’s lease, eager to return back to work, though he seems at the point of exhaustion.
DOGS THAT DO NOT FIND VICTIMS GO INTO DEEP DEPRESSION. The search for signs of life or human remains became mentally and physically exhausting to the dogs who sensed death and trauma all about them. The love for human life runs so deeply within these trained animals that as reported: “If the search for signs of life or human remains were unsuccessful for too long a period of time, the dogs would grow despondent, discouraged and become deeply depressed. Aware of the importance of morale in these dogs and to keep their motivation high, their handlers would stage “mock finds” so the dog could feel successful. That’s how deep their love for us human are.”

9/11 DOGS BRING UNEXPECTED COMFORT TO FIRSTRESPONDERS AT GROUND ZERO. Aside from finding victims buried beneath the buildings collapse, the SAR dogs proved to be an unexpected comfort and emotional support for First-Responders that began to suffer emotionally from the Death Scene at Ground Zero. These First-Responders would often hide their inner anguish, keeping their deep-seated emotions bottled up inside of themselves. With the search dogs, these same people could find a release valve. As Laura LoPresti, dog caretaker from Monroe Township, Missouri explains: “Humans may not cry to their fellow firemen or police, but somehow they open up to the dogs. Just petting a dog provides comfort to those who need it.” Often times, firefighters or policemen at the scene can be seen quietly taking one of these rescue dogs to the side and just kneeling down with the dogs, sobbing softly while petting and holding the animal. As CNN correspondent, Kitty Pilgrim, reported: “The therapeutic value of dogs at the World Trade Center site has been widely recognized.” It is estimated that more than 300 dogs took part in the Twin Towers search and rescue efforts at Ground Zero. Yet today, most are not aware of their sacrifice and contributions.

Open Tuesdays-Saturdays 10-4. “Coping Cards” Campaign Launched in S.D. coinciding with Suicide Awareness Week – This week a new supplemental mental health therapy solution campaign called “Coping Cards” was launched on Kickstarter.com. The timing was chosen in part because September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and the campaign is being launched in advance of National Suicide Prevention Week, which runs September 9th–15th. Coping Cards are index cards containing positive affirmations, quotes and phrases for use when experiencing anxiety, stress, anger, or depression; they are portable and thoughtful reminders to combat negative self-talk. Coping Cards were created by Carlsbad resident, Jeff Holland, who has started a new campaign to seek funding on Kickstarter to try and bring this concept to reality. Kickstarter helps people find resources and support their need to make their ideas into reality. Holland’s funding goal to get the project into production is $15,000, to cover the creative, print setup and initial production run. If the goal isn’t met within 30 days, no money is collected in accord with Kickstarter’s rules and funding conditions. Holland created Coping Cards with the help of his wife, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, as a result of witnessing a family member struggling with mental health issues. He noticed that she had hand-written notes posted throughout her house with various motivational passages, suggested activities and positive affirmations. Following that, he thought, “What if there was a card kit — vetted by healthcare professionals — that people could use as part of their treatment program?” ”Coping Cards” were born. “Whenever something gets you down, you can pull out a Coping Card to help you calm down and stay in
buried also, but miraculously lived. At a Sirius memorial ceremony at Liberty State Park in Jersey City on April 24, 2002, Officer Lim was presented with a beautiful painting of his dog with the American flag unfurled n the backdrop. Lim’s composure crack when he was handed the bowl Sirius used to eat and drink out of. Breaking down at the ceremony and clutching his beloved dog’s bowl, he managed to speak: “I’m not quite the rock I thought I would be. To many other people, this would just be a water bowl, but this is something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.” Officer Lim reflected on the dog’s unswerving love and loyalty in the face of duty: “We were very close. No matter where I went – he went. Whatever I asked him to do, he did. He never complained. Sometimes we’d be working for long hours, searching hundreds of cars or trucks and he’d just look up at me as if saying, ‘What do you want me to do now?’”
REWINDING TO A MIRACLE ABOVE 1,000 FEET. This true story brought tears to my eyes and is worth repeating here. Turn back the clock and walk the steps of a most miraculous journey that happened above 1,000 feet, at the World Trade Center.
Michael Hingson has a totally different set of circumstances than Dan McManus, mentioned above. Hingson was born blind and his affliction made it necessary for him to acquire a service dog trained in a
control until you feel better,” says Holland. “It sounds simple, but it does work.” Holland also created a short video to provide further explanation on the project and the Cards. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) 1 in 5 – nearly 44 million – U.S. adults will experience a mental health condition in a given year, and nearly 22 percent of children between the ages of 13 and 18 will experience a serious mental disorder in their lifetime. Even more critical, 90% of people who die by suicide experience a mental health condition. The best treatments for serious mental illnesses today are highly effective; between 70 and 90% of individuals have a significant reduction of symptoms and an improved quality of life with the right treatments and support system. Coping Cards are meant as a supplement to those treatments[1]. Holland asks, “If you have the means, please contribute what you can to help get this project off the ground and I promise to do my level best to get this in front of the organizations, health care professionals and individuals where they can do the most good in support of thoughtful treatment plans.”

different complex set of rules. His female Labrador retriever, named Roselle, is trained as a guide dog. The commands are remarkably varied and yet are quickly followed by Roselle, who is openly obedient, loving, and closely-attached to her owner. Such seeing-eye dogs are not viewed as merely service animal companions. Instead, they are embraced and loved as one would a family member. Roselle was bonafide family. One early morning on his way to work, Michael Hingson and guide dog, Roselle, took the usual elevator trip up to his office, where Hingson was a computer sales manager. For some reason, Hingson arrived earlier than usual. As he worked, Roselle, dozed quietly at his feet. The world was about to change for Michael Hingson and his precious seeing-eye dog. It would be a most terrifying moment that would ripple across the planet and occupy every major television news station. At precisely 8:46 a.m. a sudden and frightening sound, a huge heavy sound, rocked the entire building! Sitting on the 78th floor, Michael Hingson froze at his desk, sensing that his world was about to turn violently upside down. The morning of September 11, 2001 had set out to be a most ordinary one. How quickly that would change. The 78th floor of the North Tower of the

On Friday, September 7th, at 10:49 PM, Escondido Police, and Fire personnel responded to a report of a vehicle collision involving a bicyclist in the area of El Norte and Centre City Parkway. Emergency personnel arrived and discovered the 14-year-old bicyclist still pinned under the vehicle. Fire personnel worked to free the child who was ultimately transported by Life Flight helicopter to Children’s Hospital.
Based on witness statements and physical evidence at the scene, it appears the vehicle, a black Infinity, was northbound on Centre City Parkway at El Norte. The collision occurred as the vehicle passed through the intersection. The driver was identified as a 28-year-old Escondido resident.
The bicyclist, a 14-year-old Escondido student, was riding in the intersection with no lighting equipment or safety gear. He suffered multiple serious injuries including life-threatening burns from the underside of the vehicle. He is currently listed in critical condition. Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in this collision. The Escondido Police Department is asking anyone who witnessed the accident to come forward. Officer
Nick Kluka is the investigating officer and can be reached at (760) 839-4966. A Series of Knife Attacks in Escondido
Two separate incidents of stabbings occurred over the weekend in Escondido. Between Friday and Saturday night four people were stabbed.
The first attack occurred at 9:30 p.m. Friday, when a 12-year-old boy brandished a knife at Regal Theater, according to police. A movie-goer intervened to disarm the boy and was cut in the process, Sgt. Mario Sainz said. The boy was arrested and taken to Juvenile Hall, he said. Then, at 3:30 a.m., two teens walking home on Orange Street near 8th Avenue were approached by apparent gang members, who asked them where they were from.
wounds to his legs,” Sainz said. The man was transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries, but wouldn’t give police a statement, Sainz said. Police searched the area for potential witnesses, camera footage or other evidence. In a separate, similar incident, police responded to calls of another male stabbing victim at 8 p.m. Saturday, on Grape Street at Mission Avenue.
“We got a 911 call of a fight. We arrived on scene and found the young man on the sidewalk, unconscious, with stab wounds to his legs” and a nearly severed finger, Sainz said. Police called paramedics, and the 16-year-old victim woke up and began talking, Sainz said, but also refused to disclose how the stabbing occurred.
“One proceeded to stab the victim’s right arm and they fled,” Sainz said.
In both cases, the victims suffered knife wounds to the upper thighs, that suggested they were stabbed while on the ground, he said.
Around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, police received a call of a man bleeding at Hickory Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.

I will never ever call EMS. This was my first and last time with Palomar Hospital and EMS. Now I am in pain paying the bills.” A comment or two:
1. NEVER sign anything! The EMS folks will ask for your signature. Do not sign it. You are not required to sign anything. By signing you not only give them permission to transport you but to charge you for the trip and treatment. Same at the hospital. Do NOT sign anything!
Man About Town Saving Money and Hassles
I have a real problem with non-profit (charity) organizations that raise funds and then spend most of those funds on high priced executives and/or staffing.
It’s important to me that money I contribute to non-profits goes mostly to suopport those in need. As a consequence my number 1 charity has, for years, been the Salvaton Army, followed by St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
In the attached graphic you can see those organizations that pay HUGE CEO salaries and give less than 15% of funds raised to those who are in need.
Those people do not need my money. Salvation Army, St. Jude’s, and others listed on this graph that contribute a great deal of the money they collect, do.
Hope this helps your financial planning for charitable support.
In a similar vein, I have a hard time justifying the payment of $1800 for an ambulance ride to the hospital. Particularly if you don’t want to go to the hospital.
We received a Letter to the Editor about an incident that troubles us. Long time reader and supporter of The Paper, Angelo Caruso. He complains he was “fooled and tricked into using services not needed.” “On 8/8/18 I had a very sharp pain in the center of my chest; it started out like heartburn, which I had in the past, low pain. As time passed it became unbearable so for the first time ever I called emergency services. They arrived in a few minutes and started treatment as if I was having heart prob-
lems. In about 20 minutes the pain was gone and I was fine. It was recommended I go to the hospital, I told them I don`t have insurance and that I only use the VA. I told EMS to take me to the VA hospital in La Jolla, EMS said they are not allowed to take me to the VA. Instead, I allowed them to take me to Palomar Hospital.
At the hospital I told the receptionist I don`t have insurance and I only have VA. She did not care and admitted me. I was hooked up to blood pressure monitor and heart monitor for about 5 hours. They took a couple of lab tests and checked the monitors. The doctor spent 10 minutes with me the whole time I was there. They wanted to do a CAT scan, I refused, told the Dr I will get it at the VA. The bill for EMS $1,555.94, Bill for the hospital $7,457.20 Bill for the doctor was $798.00. Total bill $9,845.55. With lab
2. You have an absolute right to decline services of the ambulance crew. They may NOT transport you without your permission. (It is, however, a judgment call whether you should be transported or not. You may truly be seriously ill. Often, they are in better position to determine that than you. They can make recommendatons and urge you to be transported but you have an absolute right to decline.)
3. If you have NOT signed any papers you have a stronger negotiating position. I am a Kaiser patient. Several times I and/or my family have been transported by ambulance to Palomar Medical Center. My bills were submitted to Kaiser for payment. It is interesting how insurance companies work with hospitals. I got a bill for $27,000.

World Trade Center seemed to be rolling, moving its massive structure as if it were a sleeping giant that was now awake, slowly stretching, resonating a deep, low-sound resembling distant rolling thunder, almost as if the building, itself, were alive, moving, shifting, vibrating. Suddenly, Hingson heard loud screams throughout the floor! His dog Roselle was already on all four feet, fully alert, standing guard, calmly surveying all the commotion. Despite seeing and listening to all the shouting, screaming, and running about, Roselle stood her ground! She was trained to assist her master in every situation and, despite all her inborne instincts, she refused to flee but stood resolute, solid paws planted on the vibrating floor beneath her, and watched, guarding her master.
Unknown to Michael Hingson at the time, American Airlines Flight 11 – commandeered by terrorists – had just plunged at a ferocious 466 mph into the north face of his North Tower of the World Trade Center, plunging itself deeply between floors 93 and 99, engulfing the entire upper building in a ferocious fire!
Powerful shock waves travelled all the way down to the ground, and then up again! People below these upper floors frantically begin to
evacuate! Tragically, no one above the impact zone is able to do so. As many as 250 human beings, trapped by fire and smoke in the upper floors are left no viable recourse – one by one, they jump to their deaths! Michael Hingson is not aware of these circumstances. At present, he is standing by his desk, mystified, frightened, slightly disoriented. Screams all around him and the shuffling of feet and quick-running are all processed in his mind. His blindness, which shrouded him in eternal darkness since birth, made his ears that much keener. He knew he had to react quickly. He knew time was running out for him. And for his loving companion guide dog.
But Hingson knew he had to make time for a last minute phone call. He called his wife. It was brief and to the point. He told her that there was some kind of explosion in his building. He told her he loved her. He promised her that he would be home soon. Then, he hung up. By this time he was left alone in his office with his service dog, except for co-workers David and Frank. Horrible screaming could still be heard outside his doorway, people stampeding to escape.
All this time, his guide dog Roselle stood, obediently, by his side, despite the chaos and screams of terror and full-stage panic. Fiftyone-year-old Michael Hingson now
knew -- Roselle was his only hope to get out alive.
She was alert, and waiting for any signal from Michael Hingson that she would quickly obey. It suddenly came. Grasping her harness reins he yelled, “Forward!” Hingson was now fully fearful of his predicament. “Forward!” he immediately repeated. Though only 2 ½ years old, and despite the intense distraction, panic, and the turmoil of stampeding human beings around her– she calmly guided her master, navigating carefully, to the nearest stairwell. The stairwell?! Why not the nearest elevator?! She just knew. In such a firestorm, any elevator would surely be a death sentence. Roselle could smell the fire. Her keen nose has a sharper, more delicate sense of smell than any human alive! She sprung into action. This was no trial. This was no demonstration of skills, such as in a test or rehearsal. No. This was the real thing. And she, instinctively, knew. Roselle’s intense training was now at stake. There could be no deadly risk of mistake this time. She would not disappoint. If necessary, she would lay down her own life to save him. She was now protecting her daddy, or mommy, as she simply understood it.
By now, all chaos broke out. It was evident that the entire upper building was engulfed in flames and

When Hingson and Roselle had slowly made their way down to the 50th floor at approximately 9:03 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, a second American Airlines airplane, flight 175, crashes deep into the South Tower, smashing at a terrifying 590 mph, slicing between floors 77 and 85. All 65 passengers onboard Flight 175 would instantly die on impact. Unknown hundreds inside the building, also, would perish immediately. One of the stairwells in the South Tower remains unblocked. This leads many people to, mistakenly, climb the stairs towards the roof in hopes for a rooftop rescue from emergency evacuation teams. The rescue never comes. Deadly temperatures on the top parts of the building had just climbed to more than 1,000 degrees!

tures have suddenly soared to over 90 degrees. Yet, she proceeds as best she can. No air was circulating and Hingson heard her panting more heavily now. Her throat wretched by jet-fuel flames and heavy smoke encased her. Unlike her human counterparts, she had no nose or mouth covering. She was now growing more weak, by the moments. A terrified woman screamed, “We’re not going to make it! We’re going to die!” Remarkably, Roselle moved towards the panic-struck woman and kept nudging the lady’s trembling hands in an effort to calm her. The woman stops screaming and calmly looks down at Roselle. Miraculously, Roselle soothes the lady and she begins to slowly pet her, finally smiling as if -- somehow – hope was transferred from dog to human. Roselle now turns to her duties at hand, and up to thirty people now walk behind her as if she were some sort of savior. Proceeding downward, they are met by firefighters going upwards, in the opposite directions. These first-responders recognize the service dog leading her blind master and ask Michael Hingson if he needs assistance downward. Hingson answers “No” but thanks them nonetheless. The firefighters each briefly pause and lovingly pet Roselle for doing such an outstanding job. Hingson allows them to pet, and lovingly fondle Roselle. Then, off they disappeared upward. Hingson would later find that these brave firefighters would never make it back alive. His only comfort is that their last touch, embrace, and petting of his dog -their last encounter with unconditional love before their deaths in the deadly Tower aftermath – would come from Roselle.
Finally reaching the lobby of the World Trade Center, Hingson was deeply worried over his family member, Roselle, who valiantly served to comfort and help calm countless lives in their descent from a deadly inferno and collapsing debris. Roselle had safely led up to 30 human beings down 1,463 steps, where they followed her, obediently, trusting a beautiful Labrador retriever. The deadly journey took just over one hour. Many would live to tell the story of one courageous dog they encountered on a congested, smoke-filled stairwell. It took its toll on Roselle. At the building lobby she was exhausted to the brink of collapse. She only stayed strong enough to guide her master and coworkers to safety. Water pipes had broken in the lobby and Roselle drank from the puddles of water on the floor. Outside the lobby there was panic and stampeding everywhere! Witnesses said later that the guide dog’s coat was no longer golden in color, but fully gray, as she was by now completely covered in ash. The building was crumbling and
debris was falling from the skies. Roselle instinctively knew her job was not yet done. She wanted to move Michael Hingson to further safety. But, could she? The tower was now collapsing. Chunks of both concrete and iron were falling like a waterfall. Hingson kept his commands simple: “Left, right.” She knew best and followed his commands. Seeing a blind man and his seeing-eye dog, a New York City policeman quickly steered them into the subway. The story of Roselle’s heroic and self-sacrificing exploits quickly spread. She knew not what was happening, but she became a celebrity, a bona-fide star to millions of adoring Americans. She was properly saluted and recognized, bringing world attention to all service dogs, not just to herself. As history would have it, Roselle and owner, Michael Hingson, would appear on numerous television shows such as, “Larry King Live,” and the “CBS Morning Show,” as well as “Regis and Kathy,” to give just a few examples. Michael Hingson and Roselle even appeared on a float during the 2002 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, where many people gave her a long, sustained, standing ovation. Her celebrity helped make Hingson a visible spokesperson for Guide Dogs For the Blind.
Roselle was not the only heroic dog during the 911 tragedy in New York. Salty, a male Labrador retriever (same breed as Roselle), also led his owner and others to safety from the World Trade Center. Both Salty and Roselle received the international “Dickin Medal” by the British charity “The People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals.”
In 2004 Roselle developed a blood disorder and was retired from guiding, three years after she distinguished herself in the worst terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Such rescue and service dogs often develop emotional stress, much as humans do, in trying to save lives. Their deep love for their human family can take a deadly, emotional toll. On June 24, 2011, she was diagnosed as having a stomach ulcer. She valiantly held on until she finally died in 2011 at age 13. She never wished to leave her “daddy’s” side, as she was trained. But, her courageous heart finally stopped its rhythmic beating, leaving a rich legacy she never even knew existed. Even after her death, Roselle would continue to live in the memory of countless 911 survivors. Not even the hand of death could wipe away her precious memory, nor stop the love and accolades that would continue her way. Perhaps the ancient bards and Biblical prophets were right all along: True love abideth even after the jaws of death. True love never dies, but conquers all. It

Two of our friends and my wife and I are taking a cruise up the New England coast in about a month. We are in the advanced planning stage and came across the following: Traveling light? After Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz set out for a nine-day trip to Indonesisa with more than 500 tons of luggage. An aircraft company used 572 workers to carry the load, which included 2 Mercedes-Benz limousines and a pair of specialty escalators. We travel with far less luggage.
Cost of ownership with your transportation encompasses a number of areas sometimes neglected. There is more to it than the initial outlay or the monthly payments. So much emphasis goes to fuel costs with all these new electric cars and hybrids. Insurance cost is a factor often overlooked. Insurance for a Tesla Model 3 in 150 zip codes $2814.00 per year which is only $35.00 less than insuring a Porsche 911. In the same zip codes a Chevy Volt is $2012.00 and a Honda Civic LX is $2068.00. A Tesla S model is $3410.00 per year and an Audi Super Car costs you $3519.00 per year. Before you buy you might be smart to put the pencil to all aspects of ownership.

Rebuilding after the Lilac Fire
Last December’s Lilac Fire that devastated 4,100 acres in the Bonsall/Fallbrook area of my district, destroyed over 157 structures, including 75 manufactured/modular homes in Rancho Monserate Country Club, a 55+ resident-owned community near Fallbrook.
When the fire struck at Dulin Road along Old Hwy 395, the close-knit community had about 400 residents living in 232 manufactured homes. Though the fire spread quickly, residents were evacuated in record time, many with just their pets and the clothes they were wearing. A vibrant, thriving community, Rancho Monserate residents enjoy regular outings, line dancing and Tuesday poker games. For years, services have been held in the adobe chapel dating back to Rancho Monserate’s early land grant days. Even before the last embers were doused, Rancho Monserate homeowners told me about archaic state laws and the problems they would soon face when applying for rebuilding loans. It all involved issuing building permits that don’t recognize common interest ownership as “real property.” Without the “real property” designation,
many lenders won’t issue conventional loans. And even if you can get a loan, it’s often at a higher rate. Rebuilding after a disaster is always an emotional roller coaster; government should help, not complicate the process because of outdated laws. That’s why I introduced AB 1943. The bill changes state law to recognize that real property includes common interest ownership in manufactured, modular and mobile home communities. This allows local jurisdictions to issue 433A permits, which will make residents of these communities eligible for conventional loans.
With support from the Loftin Law Firm, County of San Diego, Bonsall Chamber of Commerce, Champagne Village Property Owners Association, Sequoia Home Funding and many others, AB 1943 passed with overwhelming support and was signed into law by Governor Brown September 5. It goes into effect immediately.
Minority Floor Leader Marie Waldron, REscondido, 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.

remains the only refuge that, verily, is stronger than death, itself. It was true. Death could not stop the adoration that continued to come her way. Many 911 survivors are alive, today, because of her. And they remember her name. After her death, Roselle went on to be posthumously named “American Dog of the Year 2011,” by the American Humane Society. And she also had a book written about her titled, “Thunder Dog.” Imagine that.
Hingson was not the only blind person rescued by a seeing-eye dog that day. Omar Rivera was also safely navigated out of the burning tower by his service dog, Salty. Rivera regularly thanks God for his precious Labrador Retriever for saving his life from the 71st floor of the World Trade Center on 9/11. About halfway down, a co-worker tried to help Rivera by taking Salty aside, but the female service dog steadfastly refused to leave her beloved master and continued to safely lead Rivera’s safe journey outside. Salty, like Roselle, would also be awarded the Dickin’ Medal by the British charity organization for bravery and courage above and beyond the call of duty. We Americans should never forget our fallen heroes. Be they fourfooted, or two.
Many canines serve as police and military dogs. Many are decorated. Trackr, for example, is credited with locating the last survivor found beneath the rubble following the 911 terrorist attack at the Twin Towers. Two days after searching and finding survivors, Trakr collapsed from smoke inhalation and burns to his body and had to be treated for his injuries. Trakr died in 2009 but he was so courageous in his duties that his DNA was cloned and lives on in five subsequent “Trakrs” who would be born and carry on his legacy to this very day. All these four-footed heroes showed love beyond human understanding. Their unconditional love is rarely equaled by their human counterparts. Love was their quintessential power.
In the Old Testament Bible are inscribed these simple words: “These things will last forever: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13) As long as there is love in the world – love in all its varied expressions – there, also, will be the story and memory of two most courageous, self-sacrificing dogs, named Salty and Roselle. “I’ve had many other dogs,” Michael Hingson would say, “but there is only one Roselle.” As for 9/11 survivor Omar Rivera, “My dog Salty will always have a
special place in my heart. Because of her, I get to experience my family grow, to see my daughters grow, to continue to be together with my family! It’s such a gift. Life is a gift. And I thank God for my Salty for giving me back my life!”
Historically Speaking by Tom Morrow
Heroic dogs of 9/11, may we never forget their service and sacrifice. True heroes.
The Teapot Dome Scandal
Most of us have heard of the “Teapot Dome” scandal, but what was it, where was it, and what did it involve?
Friederick Gomez - his 108th story for The Paper!
Teapot Dome was a scandal over oil leases that occurred during President Warren G. Harding’s administration in the early 1920s. It was a decade-long affair that made countless national headlines.
improvement in his standard of living caused concern.
A complaint about the Teapot Dome lease by a small Wyoming oil producer triggered an investigation. By 1924, no evidence of wrongdoing had been uncovered, but the last-minute discovery of Fall’s acceptance of money was his undoing. Probers uncovered critical evidence that Fall had forgotten to cover up: Doheny's $100,000 loan.
The scandal broke wide open, triggering a number of civil and criminal suits. In 1927 the Supreme Court ruled the oil leases had been fraudulently obtained. The Court invalidated both the Elk Hills and Teapot Dome leases. The reserves were returned to the Navy Department. In 1929, Secretary Fall was found guilty of bribery, fined $100,000 and sentenced to one year in prison, making him the first Presidential cabinet member to go to prison for his actions in office. Sinclair, who refused to cooperate with investigators, was charged with contempt, fined $100,000, and received a short sentence of six months for jury tampering. Doheny was acquitted of bribery in 1930.

Escondido during the 1980s and '90s, in 2005 he stayed at Cale's secluded 3acre hideaway in Valley Center where the duo rehearsed and held what is known in the music industry as "prerecording" sessions. It was Clapton who came up with the album title, "The Road to Escondido", to recognize their adjoining hometowns.
Cale's wife, Christine Lakeland, said her husband deliberately avoided the spotlight. "John preferred to stay under the radar in most anything that had to do with 'big-time' in the music biz," she once said. He died in 2013 at age 74. Fans of Eric Clapton and JJ Cale might want to visit the Valley Center History Museum where a tribute to Cale includes a photo of both musicians in the backyard of Cale's home rehearsing "The Road to Escondido". Robert Lerner, Historian Valley Center Historical Society Correction
In Friedrich Gomez's cover story, "Escondido - Little Known Facts," in the September 6, 2018 edition, he mentioned the French restaurant, Vincent's as no longer existing. That is incorrect. I am a friend of Lisa Grumel and she assured me that the restaurant is still open. An immediate retraction and an apology is owed to. Ms. Grumel. I would also like to take this opportunity to publicly chastise Gomez for such sloppy research, or perhaps no research at all.
You will hear a lot more from me on other matters.
/s/ Ray Thomson Editor’s Note: Please see page 10 of this edition in which a retraction and apology is made in response to a much more pleasant note from Lisa Grumel.
Teapot Dome is an oil field in Natrona County, Wyoming. The scandal also involved the Elk Hills oil field in Kern County, California. In the early 20th century, the U.S. Navy began converting warships from coal to oil as fuel. To ensure the Navy would always have enough fuel available in case of war, in 1912, President Howard Taft designated Teapot Dome and Elk Hills as Naval oil reserve fields.
In 1921, at the urging of Interior Secretary Albert Fall, President Harding issued an executive order transferring the two oil fields from the Navy Department to the Interior Department. Then in 1922, Fall issued a lease on the Teapot Dome oil field to Harry F. Sinclair, founder of Sinclair Oil. Fall also issued a lease on the Elk Hills reserve to legendary California oil man Edward L. Doheny. Both leases were issued without competitive bidding, but they were deemed legal under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920. The lease terms were very favorable to the oil companies. Fall secretly received a $100,000 interest-free loan from Doheny (about $1.5 million in today’s money). He also received gifts from both Doheny and Sinclair totaling more than $400,000 ($5.5 million in today’s money). Obviously, it was the loan and gifts that were illegal. Fall attempted to keep his private dealings with Doheny and Sinclair a secret, but the sudden
One of the most significant outcomes of the scandal was a Supreme Court ruling explicitly giving Congress the power to compel testimony. For those of us today who wonder just how much power the Congress has when calling people to testify, that high-court ruling speaks volumes. Teapot Dome was one of the primary scandals that, historically, has saddled President Harding’s legacy as having a corrupt administration. Harding has been declared by historians as our worst president. The primary reasons were inattention to the business at hand, corrupt associates and less-than-competent cabinet members and department heads. Still, at the time, Harding was an extremely popular president.

Hello “Zuli” - The San Diego Zoo Safari Park celebrated World Elephant Day on August 12 in the best possible way—by welcoming the birth of a new African elephant calf! Following a gestation of approximately 22 months, Ndulamitsi ("Ndula" for short) gave birth to her bouncing baby boy—all 277 pounds of him—and the baby has been named Umzula-zuli. "Zuli," as he is called, is a healthy boy who bonded well with his mother, and was received by his herd with trumpeting and trunk pats. He is enthusiastically exploring his habitat—under his mother's watchful eye, of course. The Park's herd now numbers 13—4 adults and 9 youngsters.

The insurance company paid $1800. I paid $150. The rest was written off.
Why can’t you, as an individual, go to the Finance Department of the medical offices and negotiate a similar deal? Settle for a 25% discount? You can!
Go to the Finance Department and ask to pay the same amount they would bill Medicare, about a 75% discount!
More often than not they’ll sign off on that because they are getting some payment rather than nothing. A retraction;: Last week, in Friedrich Gomez’s cover story about Escondido and the many entertaining places to visit he said that Vincent’s no longer existed. Vincent Grumel did, indeed pass away, but his widow, Lisa, continues the restaurant. In an email from her she said: “This coming October Vincent's will be celebrating it's 25th year anniversary. I too, recall the night that Eric Clapton dined at Vincent's. I would appreciate it if you please print a correction. These sort of rumors can be very damaging to a business. Thank-you, Lisa Grumel
Glad to issue the correcton and apologies from both Friedrich Gomez and The Paper for the error.

Carlsbad Republican Women’s Meeting on September 25th - Carlsbad Republican Women Federated (CRWF) will welcome CA State Senator Patricia Bates and CFRW Legislative Advocate Allison Olson at their meeting on Tuesday, September 25th. At the luncheon meeting these two key speakers will share important information for the November elections. The Honorable Patricia Bates, CA State Senator for the 36th District, will present her “Legislative Update” and her insights into the upcoming elections. California Federation of Republican Women (CRWF) Legislative Advocate, Allison Olson, will present her “2018 CA Initiative Review” which will help us all interpret the complicated initiative statements on the ballot. Elected to the CA State Senate in 2014, Pat Bates is a strong advocate for protecting taxpayer’s rights, restoring fiscal common sense to state government, and working to preserve our way of life. She is not new to elected government, having served as a Mayor, a Councilwoman, a Supervisor, and an Assemblywoman, prior to running for the State Senate. Becoming the second woman ever to lead the caucus of either party in the State Senate, Senator Bates has helped guide the fight to save Prop 13’s taxpayer protection, fought against the early release of violent offenders into our neighborhoods, and most recently has led the fight to repeal the new regressive Car and Gas Tax. CRWF is honored to have Senator Bates as our keynote September speaker. Allison Olson joined the California Federation of Republican Women as Legislative Advocate in 2009. She tracks and analyzes California state legislation, lobbies on behalf of the CFRW, and keeps the members of the Federation educated and informed on what is happening in Sacramento. Allison knows the state legislators and policy makers and serves as a liaison and advocate for CFRW official endorsements. Allison is a graduate of the University of California, Davis, with a degree in Political Science. She and husband Rob live in Davis with their two sons, Rowan and Liam. Carlsbad Republican

Pastor Hal Seed, New Song Community Church, Oceanside Life is Better Together
From Sept. 16 to Oct. 28, New Song Community Church will be hosting a seven week experience called 40 Days of Community.
According to the Bible, God’s first direct conversation with a man was about his aloneness. “It is not good for a person to be alone,” God said (Genesis 2:18). Life is better when we live it together.
Humans are happier when we’re in community with others. We live longer, feel better, remain healthier, and feel a deeper sense of meaning and fulfillment when we’re in relationships with others. During these 40 days, we’re inviting you to join us in the adventure
Each weekend we’ll hear a message together on one of these topics. Then, during the week we’ll experience community in Life Groups with people in our own ages and stages of life. When Lori and I started New Song 26 years ago, we mailed out postcard invitations, and about 200 people showed up. Within a few weeks, many of these people started saying, “I’ve lived here 5 years and never really had friends. Now I’m seeing people I know from church at the grocery and around town. I finally feel like I’m part of a family again.” We’re hoping to repeat that experience with you this September.
New Song’s service times are 9 and 11 a.m. on Sundays in Oceanside, and 9:30 and 11:15a.m. in Carlsbad. I hope you’ll join us for this experience of community. And I hope you’ll find a family here. www.newsongchurch.com

We had two cherry trees in our yard at the home where my brothers and I grew up in Indiana. In the spring, Granny checked “her cherries” every morning. When they started to ripen she gave us pails with instructions to pick “just the ripe ones.” This continued every morning for a couple of weeks until the trees were stripped. All during that time Granny was in the kitchen washing, pitting, cooking and canning those cherries making pies, jellies and jams.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Julie Sellars in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, 1100 Union St., San Diego, Ca., 92101, Central Courthouse - Probate Division. The Petition for Probate requests that Julie Sellars be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal repreesentative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representattive will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed actions.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: October 2,2018 Time: 11:00 a.m . Dept: 504 Address of court: Same as noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in Section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statues and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a peson interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petioner: Daniel F.
