Back then he was about as scared as a young kid can be.

Today, he has shaken the hand of President Barack Obama, met First Lady, Michelle Obama, is honored by the people of Normandy, France, indeed, the village of St. Pois has taken him into their bosom as one of their own as an honorary citizen . . . he has met the great, the wealthy, the powerful.

But back in the day, he was just one more scared GI, about to head across the English Channel and participate in DDay.

Today, he travels to France on board an Air France jetliner, and is treated like royalty. Back then, he was in a LCI (Landing Craft, Infantry) with about 100 other solidiers, many of whom became seasick during the choppy crossing. He didn’t become seasick. He had fished a great deal in the ocean off of California’s coast and never once has been seasick a day in his life. “It’s true what they say,” he says, “when you get really, really seasick, you turn green. I saw many a soldier on board our LCI that turned green.”

He’s 96 years old today, but doesn’t look it. Nor does he feel it. He plays tennis two to three times a week and works out daily in a gym.

He is Jack Port, the pride of Escondido, and now, Oceanside.

Left, Jack Port, as he is today (photo taken while in France for D-Day ceremonies)

Many folks in Escondido know Jack as the genial proprietor of Port’s Men’s Wear in Escondido, the store his father founded and he continued to operate at 214 East Grand until finally closing the store in 1975.

A lot of folks do not realize that he was one of those heroic young men who participated in D-Day, hitting Utah Beach with his comrades in arms, and watching many die.

Utah Beach Cont. from Page 1

Many strange twists in Jack Port’s life, not the least of which is the fact that his father, originally from Estonia, was strict and absolutely forbade guns in the house. “You don’t shoot, you don’t kill,” his father had said.

And now here he was, M-1 rifle cradled in his arms, aboard an LCI, bound for a place called Utah Beach, in France - about to take on the German military in just one of many memorable battles he was to experience.

“I was absolutely, totally scared,” he said. “From the time we embarked from England, all during the voyage over, when we hit the beaches, during our campaign inland, throughout France, Germany, and Belgium. I was never not scared.

Omaha Beach caught hell. We were fired upon and had some casualties, but there was relatively light resistance. That didn’t take away the fear.

We established our beach-head and rolled to the right, heading for our first mission, Cherbourg, France.”

Another of those strange twists in Jack Port’s life:

Give Us This Day Our Daily Chuckle This week, a compendium of wit, wisdom and neat stuff you can tell at parties. Enjoy!

A Golfer is cupping his hand to scoop water from a Highland burn in St Andrew’s golf course.

A Groundskeeper shouts “Dinnae drink tha waater! Et’s foo ae coo’s Shite and Pish!"

The Golfer replies, ”My good fellow. I’m from England. Could you repeat that for me in English"

The Keeper replies, “ I said use two hands – you will spill less that way" "Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to fumble the football" - John Heisman

“The Army took this punk kid and turned him into a combat ready soldier. I was inducted into the Army at San Pedro. After my basic training at Camp Roberts in Paso Robles, California, it was well known that everyone was headed for the Pacific Theatre of War Operations.

Suddenly, a levy came down that set up a separate shipment to Camp Shanks in New York. We don’t know why we were going to New York, of all places, when we were already in California. We soon found out. We were going to Europe to fight the Germans.”

What would have happened if Jack Port had been sent to the Pacific instead of Europe?

We’ll never know. We do know what happened to him in the European Theatre . . . and that he returned to live a wonderful life in his beloved homeland of America.

Arriving in England, he was assigned to the 4th Infantry Division. Before leaving stateside, he was supposed to qualify with the M-1 rifle. He had to try four times before an exasperated instructor finally passed him, even though he had only reached 137 instead of the required score of 140. “I don’t want to have to bring you back

here again,” he said, “137 is close enough to 140. I’m gonna mark you down as ‘passed’. When he got to England he was then supposed to qualify on the carbine. He never did qualify on the carbine.

“We landed in Scotland,” Jack says.

“Then they shipped us by train to ‘The Moors,’ in England; the shades were pulled on the train so we had no idea where we were going. Upon arrival, we were housed in pup tents for about 60 days while we trained.

It was cold, windy, rainy, very uncomfortable.

There was no talk of ‘D-Day.’ I was a simple buck private so knew very little. We all knew we were going somewhere but we didn’t know where until about 2-3 weeks prior when we learned we were going to be part of ‘an invasion.’ But the location of this ‘invasion’ was not known to us until about a week before the actual event. Right away we noticed a heavy increase in activity as people and equipment were mobilized. We knew something was up and whatever it was, was big. Really big.”

Here I was, this young lad who was not allowed to have a gun in the house, now laden with my M-1, with two bandoliers of ammunition, and four hand grenades strapped to my gear. I had only thrown one hand

grenade in Basic Training. But I was now trained and equipped for war.

We boarded our LCI. I always used to call them LCT’s but that, I found,means Landing Craft, Tanks.

We were on board Landing Craft, Infantry. There was no food on board, but lots of coffee. We all had K-rations, but very few of us ate during the voyage across the Channel.

Even then, we still didn’t know how big this was, or that this was to be “D-Day.” All we knew was, we were ordered to go on this invasion and we went and did what we were told.

Clearly, it was big. Not only a lot of personnel and equipment . . .but supplies. I can tell you there were millions and millions of cigarettes on board those ships and LCI’s. And millions and millions of condoms, very few of which were to be used for their original purpose. Instead, they were used to protect K-rations from the weather, to put over the ends of rifle barrels to protect the weapon from the rain.”

Jack paused to reflect a moment: “There are only two of us left today from my unit. Of those Utah Beach Cont. on Page 3

that made it home, there were no drug problems, no PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). We came back and Uncle Sam, bless his heart, gave us $20 a month for 52 weeks, plus one month of college for every month in the military, plus VA home loans.

The government took pretty good care of us. At least those of us who made it back home. A lot of good men didn’t.”

Our D-Day was not nearly as disastrous as Omaha Beach was. They absolutely caught hell. That’s where the cemetery is today. I’ve been there a number of times and, over the years, have built some very strong and solid friendships with the French people who live there.

To the right of Utah Beach was Pointe d’Hoc. That’s where the rangers were. That was a critical point to take because the German guns could fire up and down the coast at will and hit both Utah Beach and Omaha Beach. The Rangers paid a heavy price, but they took Pointe d’Hoc. We landed two miles away from where we were supposed to. Maybe that’s why we had such light resistance. We drew enough fire, however,

that I immediately did what I was trained to do. I hit the beach, flat on my belly, with my rifle in front of me.

Though we had fairly light resistance, the fear never did leave me . . . never.

Not until the war was finally over.

Our force included three Regiments.

The 8th Regiment landed at about 6:30 or 7am, the 22nd, landed a little later, and my regiment, the 12th, landed at about 10am. From there we wheeled right, toward Cherbourg.

The Germans had flooded the plains to slow us down so we were restricted to using the local roadways.

Our objective was to take Cherbourg.

Cherbour had a large harbor that the Allies needed. We hit the beach on June 6th, we took Cherbourg on June 25th. There was a lot of hedgerow fighting but we did it. Mission accomplished. At least the first mission.

In that short time my buddy, Jim, and I had learned a lot. Like how to dig foxholes. A foxhole only needs to be about 12” deep. We dug all night and Jim said if we dug much more we’d wind up in China. Come morning time, we had a dickens of a time crawing out of our way-too-deep foxhole, probably 6 or 7’ deep. But, we were scared. And we were still alive.

We were involved in some firefights en

route to Cherbourg. A sniper had sent about 6 or 7 rounds our way and one finally caught me. Right in the butt. Shot in the fanny! They sent me back to a Field Hospital for treatment. I was hoping to be shipped back to England, but no such luck.

Besides his ‘shot in the fanny,’ Jack had a number of other close calls:

“One time a piece of shrapnel entered my mess-kit and rattled around inside that; another time I had fallenface first into the ground, with my rifle in front of me, just the way they train you to do. A piece of shrapnel went right through the stock of my rifle; another time, we were sitting down, taking a break. My buddy, Jim, said, “Jack, you’d better get down here in this fox hole. I no sooner had gotten into the foxhole when a large piece of shrapnel hit right where I had been sitting.”

It was in Cherbourg where Jack received his first promotion.

He went from buck private to Private First Class and immediately went from abut $19 per month to a whopping $21 per month in pay.

That wasn’t all. While in Cherbourg he had his first

shower in about four weeks. “I said then that if and when I got back home I’d shower every day. I’ve done that. Sometimes I shower twice a day. It’s rough living out in the field.

Not only no showers but sanitation is tough. The simple task of going to the bathroom can be a dicey experience. You’d catch an occasional shave by applying a blow torch to your canteen to heat the water, then lather up and shave. All the tanks had blow torches . . . but that’s a hard way to take a nice refreshing shave. Your hands were filthy dirty but you went ahead and ate your K-rations. War is not a clean, tidy place to be. You really appreciate things like showers.

Normandy had lots of gardens so we’d often grab vegetables and enjoy those as a supplement to our Krations. They also had lots of apples.

We loved ‘em.

Our next mission was to liberate St. Lo. But there was a little obstacle in the way. General Montgomery, of the British military, had boasted he’d take Caen in three days. Well, he didn’t. We had to help the Brits liberate Caen. Once we had done that, then we proceeded to St. Lo . . . but we were fighting all the way . . . to Caen . . . and to St. Lo.

The Paper • Page 4 • November 15, 2018 Final ruling on future of Escondido Country Club housing project due This Week

A judge will decide this week whether a housing development can proceed on the land of the former Escondido Country Club.

Vista Superior Court Judge Ronald F. Frazier heard oral arguments Friday concerning a tentative ruling he issued Thursday that would require the recirculation of an environmental report about “The Villages” project.

If he upholds his ruling, it will likely force the Escondido City Council to reconsider its approval of the project, which would be built on the 109-acres of fairways, holes and greens of the former country club golf course that closed in early 2013.

Shortly after the council voted 3-2 to approve the project last year, a citizen’s group called the Escondido Country Club Homeowner’s Organization (ECCHO) filed a lawsuit challenging the city’s action on a number of grounds.

Frazier tentatively found in favor of the city and the would-be developer, New Urban West, on most issues, but more significantly found that the draft environmental report that was circulated to the public for comment was inadequate in one particular way.

He said the number of condominiums in the final plans approved by the council equaled 189 of the 380 units,

Man About Town

Mixed emotions about learning that the Jalapeno Cantina and Grill is no more.

Good friend and brilliant restaurateur, Ray Alto, has sold the building and Swami’s is remodeling it as the building will be the new home of Swami’s in Escondido.

Ray will focus his attention now on La Tapatia. “I’m retiring 50%,” he said. “I used to spend the mornings here at La Tapatia and the afternoon and evenings at Jalapeno. Now I only have the one restaurant to look after.”

yet the original environmental report talked only about single-family homes being built on the property.

Because there were no significant environmental impacts, there is no need to recirculate the report, according to city attorneys.

Attorney Everett DeLano, representing ECCHO, said nowhere in the project description of the draft report were condominiums mentioned and he agreed with the judge’s logic in his tentative ruling.

In that ruling, Frazier wrote in part: “The Project now contains, for the very first time, the inclusion of 189 condominiums and there is substantial evidence in the record that the developer assured (residents of the area) that no condominiums would be developed.”

New Urban West has an agreement with the property’s owner, Michael Schlesinger, to buy the land and develop it only after all legal hurdles have been cleared.

Judge Frazier said he would issue a final ruling this week. Should it confirm his tentative decision, another court hearing will be held soon to determine the scope of his order. It will be at that hearing when it will be decided if the city will have to scrap its approval and hold a new City Council hearing.

On Thursday, DeLano said that would seem to be the only avenue to take

bit more rest but he’s a workaholic and is always on the move. Most successful businessmen are that way - and Ray has been a hard working successful businessman for years.

I will miss Jalapeno - great menu. But you can probably find me more and more often at La Tapatia. I like Ray and I like his food and, in particular, I love his tortilla soup!

Sorry to hear about the passing of another good friend, Thor Emblem, killed in a traffic accident last week.

Thor was a brilliant attorney.

Tall, handsome, big booming voice. He and I became close friends. I am of Norwegian heritage as was Thor.

The Social Security Administration is gonna lose one of the best staffers they ever had. Yolanda York, the brilliant lady who knows Social Security backwards and forwards and often speaks to groups about how they can plan their Social Securty program, is retiring. Sometime in April, I believe. She plans on traveling for awhile and seeing the United States . . . then, when she’s seen enough of all the other places she’ll head back here and do some consulting work.

Neat lady. Smart.

Abed was leading his challenger, Paul “Mac” McNamara by only 70 votes; in San Marcos, Maria Nunez was leading Craig Garcia by only 15 votes. We won’t know the actual winners for several days. Several other races, nationally, have the same problem. Too close to call and, in Florida, they’re even going to a recount. Will we have a recount locally? Too soon to tell.

Fingernail biting time for several candidates and their campaign staff and volunteers.

The good news? I lived in Chicago for five years and saw some mighty disgusting dirty politics. Used to see that locally, to some degree. Not so much anymore. Some name calling and pointing of fingers - but nothing really dirty like you’d see in Chicago.

To this day, we can still get a rise out of the Brits by asking them, ‘did you liberate Caen yet?’

Once we liberated St. Lo, we would begin preparations for our campaign to liberate Paris. This was to become known as ‘the big breakout.’

It was during this campaign that Allied B-24’s conducted bombing raids with an estimated 1500 to 1800 bombers flying in formation and dropping bombs, attempting to bomb the Germans into submission, or, at a minimum, to make the forward movement of Allied ground troops easier.

Unfortunately, disaster struck.

Allied bombers killed an estimated 400 to 500 Allied soldiers in a major ‘friendly fire’ incident. The only General killed during this campaign, General McNary, was killed by friendly fire during one of these bombing raids.

The only General I ever saw on the front lines was General Eisenhower.

After the bombing raids we took off and on July 25th we liberated St. Lo. In spite of the cleared land, thanks to the bombing raids, the Germans still

He turned his business success into a life-long crusade to improve performance, transparency, efficiency, and accountability of government at all levels.

He won a seat on the San Diego City Council in 2008 and helped turn the city around from the brink of bankruptcy through his “Roadmap to Recovery” reform agenda. While on the Council, he led the effort to cut red tape on small businesses, reform the city’s contracting processes to expedite infrastructure projects, and enact some of the toughest “Sunshine Law” open government require-

put up a tremendous fight . . . but, now, Patton’s tanks entered into the equation. With the open country, his tanks could move quickly. We had big firefights until we got to Mortain . . . we were no longer fighting in the hedgerow country . . then Patton’s tanks really moved.

I am persuaded to this day, however, that if the Germans had not had a second front to fight in Russia, we would still be fighting there. They were ferocious scrappers and we were fortunate to make the progress we did.

Jack was asked the age-old question every interviewer asks every military man who was in combat: “Did you ever kill one of the enemy?”

“Yes,” he said, “everyone does ask that. And the answer is: you just never know. Even when I manned the machine gun during the big breakout . . . I never knew if I hit anyone. I fired a lot of rounds at a lot of targets, a lot of hedgerows, a lot of trees . . . but did I ever kill an enemy? I honestly don’t know.”

Before long, Jack and his comrades in arms would liberate Paris. They had to march 10-15 miles per day to get there, but some were able to catch a ride on tanks and 2 1/2 ton trucks;

they had become mechanized!

Patton’s tanks led the way and wiped out the remaining resistance. OnAugust 25th, it happened. Paris was liberated.

“It took us four weeks, but we got there. We were strafed by the Luftwaffe four or five times . . .but we kept moving. I saw the movie “Private Ryan,” and it was a pretty good depiction of what was happening . . . but a couple areas they were way off. They would show a group of soldiers sitting around talking. That seldom happened. We never gathered in groups. We kept dispersed. Even on a march we stayed about 10 yards away from each other.

But right when we were on the outskirts of Paris, in a suburb known as Nozay, we received orders to stop.

Our Captain John Gorn radioed back, “Why do you want us to stop?

We’re right on the outskirts of Paris?!”

He was told that General LeClerc, the famous French General, wanted the honor of marching into a liberated Paris, so the Americans should wait until he accomplished that.

‘That’s a bunch of BS, we’re going in!’ . . . said Captain Gorn, and so we did. We were the first Allied troops to liberate Paris.

After the third day of being in Paris they moved us to Vincennes Park, which reminded me a lot of Balboa Park in San Diego. The German’s bombed the hell out of us but we didn’t have any casualties.”

Jack told of another interesting tidbit about wartime and the liberation of Paris.

“All military units had a chaplain within their unit. Ours happened to be a Catholic priest. Father Fraes ordered all the men in our unit who were Catholic to stay behind so they could attend mass at Notre Dame Cathedral. This was a big deal to the Catholic soldiers. After our three days in Paris, the rest of us moved on to San Quentin, then on into Belgium.

We hit the Siegfreid Line and we had Patton’s tanks with us. We cracked the line in three or four places.

We then got involved in what I think was the hardest fighting of all our combats. Hurtgen Forest. The worst battles ever. You had to keep your head down all the time or you were a goner. Frostbite got a lot of us. The firefights were unbelievable. You literally risked your life when you tried

to take a bathroom break.

It was in the Hurtgen Forest where I got my next promotion. They jumped me up to Staff Sergeant. They offered me a battlefield commission but I declined it. I didn’t want to be a 2nd Lieutenant. I just wanted to get out of the war alive. I had a great deal of respect for 1st Lieutenants but damned little for anyone at the level of Captain or greater. All they seemed interested in was nominating themselves for medals.

We had about 180-200 men in our unit when the combat began in the Hurtgen Forest. We had about 90 at the end, a great many of them lost to frostbite. I had frostbite on my right hand and I remember this buddy of mine took my hand and placed it under his armpit to warm my hand. He was killed the next day.

It’s really hard to know and understand war unless and until you’ve been in the thick of it. I’ve seen close buddies die, some with their guts streaming out of their bodies; others just disappeared; some lost arms, some lost legs; we all lost something out there. We’d see one of our buddies get hit, we’d call for a Medic, and we’d move on. There was no other choice.

Jack and his unit was finally relieved. They were moved to Luxembourg for rest, relaxation, and recuperation. Fresh clothes, showers, and they had been moved by truck! No more long marches. Or so it seemed.

“We woke up one morning to find the town of Eupen had been retaken by the Germans. They were only 30 kilometers from us . . . and were behind us! Some rest and recuperation! We were cut off from our other units and I manned a machine gun for five days!

Bastogne was near us as well and they were going through hell. Finally, the weather cleared and our Air Corps came in and saved the day.

While we were in France the Germans bombed the hell out of the cities, towns and villages. They didn’t care how much damage they did.

Later, however, when we finally entered Germany, they moved away from the towns and villages and took to the hills because they didn’t want us to destroy their towns and villages.

While on this campaign we fought with the 442nd Regiment, an all Japanese Volunteer Unit; one of the finest units we ever fought with.

Strange. We fought with the Japanese volunteer unit . . .but there were no

African Americans allowed to be in combat. They were restricted to menial jobs . . . as hospital orderlies, or kitchen help. And today our Commander in Chief is AfricanAmerican.”

We continued on into the German town of Prun . . .then we liberated Munich. There was lots of open country so the tanks moved freely.

We liberated two concentration camps, though I didn’t particpate in that action, nor did I ever enter a camp.

We were just outside of Austria when the war ended in May of 1945.

I remember a ‘Willie and Joe’ cartoon in the Stars and Stripes newspaper. It showed these two sad-sack soldiers with one saying . . . “If every person had to do one day of combat, there’d never be another war.’

That was right on target. It hit home with all of us.

It was time to go home. The Army had come up with a plan to determine who went home first. It as a point system. You got five points for each medal.

Jack had a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, the D-Day Landing medal . . .there’s 15 points. You got one point for every month of service. Jack had been in for almost two years . . .but others had been in four, five years. Jack wasn’t scheduled to go home under the point system but, remember those strange twists of fate in Jack’s military career?

It happened again.

Those soldiers who had less than 110 points were to be shipped back stateside to undergo jungle training, and then be shipped to the Pacific Theatre of War. “At that point I had it,” said Jack.

“I had been in contact with the enemy for 199 straight days and I was fed up with war. I was not going to the Pacific. I’ve had it!”

So Jack came home to North Carolina for jungle training.

And then a funny thing happened. Another one of those twists of fate.

The war in Japan ended.

Jack was given a 30 day furlough and came home to Escondido, then returned to North Carolina to get his dis‘Utah Beach Cont. on Page 7

charge. He cheefully became an ordinary citizen again.

Jack has never gone back to England. He has way too many friends in France to spend valuable time in England. Friends who have become like family. He has gone back a number of times to visit Normany, the beaches . . . Omaha, Utah, as well as the British and Canadian beaches he has stood on a podium at Normandy with Senator John Kerry. He has town Mayors and its citizens who treat him as though he were King.

They’ve held parades in his honor.

“The French love the Americans,” he says. “And they love me . . . and I love them right back. It’s always a treat to go back and visit my ‘familes’ in France.”

Remember earlier, when we talked a bit about medals? Jack accumulated quite a few. We only touched on several.

How’s this for a list of medals: Order National de La Legion D ' Honneur.

Belgium Fourrgere Medal Libertee Medal of Bayeux European Campaign Medal ...5 Campaigns D Day Landing Medal Bronze Star Medal Purple Heart WW II Victory Medal France Overlord Medal WW IIAmerican Campaign Medal European Occupation Medal Presidential Citation Medal

“This past June I was invited by the Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg to receive their Legion Of Honneur. Be their guest for one week but was unable to because I already had made commitments to be part of the D Day ceremonies the first week of June.....Their ceremony was to be the last week of June and there was no way I could spend 10 days or two weeks over there to wait for that ceremony.”

Quite a story for a young kid who was born in Los Angeles, but moved to Escondido around 1927 or 1928 at the tender young age of 4 or 5.

His family came from humble beginnings, living briefly in Mexicali before his mom said, ‘no, I can’t raise my family here. We are going to move.” They drove

into Southern California and approached Lake Hodges.

When they saw Escondido, that was going to become their home. They had $14 and three kids.

There were only about 1100 people in the valley at that time.

It was a financial struggle at first but, one day, after several other jobs, Jack’s dad bought six Chambray shirts. He sold them at a profit to a number of migrant workers and other farm workers . . . and bought more. Eventually, Jack’s dad opened Port’s Men’s Wear, at 214 East Grand Avenue, in downtowna Escondido, an upscale mens clothing store.

After the war, young Jack went to work there and stayed there till he closed the store and retired in 1975.

Before the war, Jack had worked at Consolidated Aircraft, later to become Convair. He kept getting deferments from the draft. He was safe. But he didn’t like the deferment. A war was on and he felt it was his patriotic duty to be part of it. So, he volunteered for the draft and, well, the rest is history.

Jack will tell you he’s no hero.

He’s just another soldier who did his duty.

Maybe.

But a lot of us, knowing what he’s been through, knowing the sights, the sounds, the horrible smells, the terrible physical and emotional pain he’s experienced, join his many French admirers, offer up a salute, tip our hats and say, “well done, Jack.”

Jack Port, longtime Escondido resident and businessman, with his wife, Elaine, now living in Oceanside, one of the few surviving members of the D-Day invasion on Utah Beach, and a veteran to whom North San Diego County residents say a simple “thanks for your service.

Thanks for your sacrifice.”

Historically Speaking

by Tom Morrow

The Rise and Fall of Napoleon

One might ask “What does the history of French Emperor Napoleon have to do with American history?” A lot – about half of our continental land mass.

Napoleon Bonaparte emerged to become Emperor following the chaos of the French Revolution in the late 1700s.

After King Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, were executed, chaos reigned over France.

Neighboring nations such as Austria, Prussia (Germany), Spain, and Great Britain declared war on France. After the Revolution’s "Reign of Terror,” a young artillery officer quickly rose through the ranks capturing the hearts of his countrymen much as he had overwhelmed his enemies on the field of battle. Napoleon was quick to capitalize on his popularity. He became known as “The Little Corporal,” which referred to his short stature and the rank from which he started in the Grand Army.

Firmly in control of the army, which meant he controlled the nation, in 1804, Napoleon was crowned Emperor of France. During the coronation ceremony in Paris' historic Notre Dame Cathedral, the Little Corporal did something that shocked everyone witnessing the ceremony: just as the pope was about to place the crown on his head, Napoleon grabbed it and put it on himself. He would later explain that no mortal man was above the Emperor, so how could anyone but Napoleon himself place the crown?

With Napoleon firmly in control France went on the offensive, conquering nearly all of Europe and much of Russia. Because of early explorers and fur trappers, France controlled half of what is today the middle continental United States, plus much of the middle portion of settled Canada. The only thing stopping him from complete European domination was the British Royal Navy, the most powerful in the world. In order to raise money, in 1803, Napoleon sold all of France’s territory to the United States. The prairie land between the Mississippi River from New Orleans, which was France's Louisiana territory capital city, north and west to the Rockies and Canada were included. It became known as "The Louisiana Purchase.”

The selling price was a staggering $15 million, less than 3 cents an acre.

Today, nearly all of this former French land produces enough food to feed millions of people around the world.

In 1805, Napoleon lost a critical sea battle at Cape Trafalgar off the coast of

Spain. Realizing his Grand Army could never cross the English Channel as long as the Royal Navy controlled the seas, Napoleon marched his Grand Army across Europe, invading Russia.

Napoleon out-ran his supply lines and being ill-equipped for winter along with Russia's "scorched earth" tactic (burning everything and then retreating, leaving nothing for the enemy to survive on), In 1812, Napoleon had to retreat from Moscow. He entered Russia with 600,000 troops, but only 40,000 survived to return home.

Napoleon returned to France where he was stripped of his crown and exiled to Elba, a small, desolate Mediterranean island off the coast of Italy. Napoleon was given a personal guard of 600 French troops, but the sea around Elba was patrolled by the Royal Navy. He managed to escape and return to power. In 1815, Napoleon led his reorganized Grand Army against the British and the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo in present-day Belgium.

Once again in defeat he was stripped of his power and exiled to the even smaller and more desolate British-owned island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic off the coast of Africa where he died mysteriously on or before May 15, 1821. It's long been a debate whether he died of natural causes or was murdered.

Napoleon's influence is still around us today. Every nation Napoleon conquered or controlled drives its vehicles on the right side of the road. The British drive on the left side of road.

The reason has been argued, but the most common explanation is that Napoleon wanted his cavalry to be able to draw their swords and fight as they rode down a road with the weapon on the “outside of the column, instead of the inside. It makes sense if everyone was right-handed. Still, like his death, no one knows for sure.

Ask any Brit today and they’ll explain, “You Americans drive on the right side of the road, whereas we British drive on the ‘correct’ side of the road.

Alzheimers and Dementia Linked to Gum Disease

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and the South Carolina School of Medicine both confirm the link between the bacteria "biofilm" on your teeth (plaque) and diseases including pancreatic cancer, diabetes, and dementia and are much more serious than just the obvious symptoms including inflammed gums and bad breath?

Oral inflammation leads to amyloid deposition producing neuritc plaques in the brain. These plaques promote senility and lead to Alzheimers Disease.

Additionally, researchers at the South Carolina School of Medicine showed that the worse a patient's periodontal disease gets, the bigger risk of stroke. Even "mild" gum disease can double your stroke risk. In another study scientists at John Hopkins has now found a particular type of mouth bacteria causes rheumatoid arthritis.

Infection of a root tip can TRIPLE your risk of heart disease! Another discovery revealed that those that skipped dental check-ups are almost 90% more likely to come down with bacterial pneumonia compared to those that have checkups twice a year.

It's become pretty clear that your dental health should be right up there with the same degree of importance as having your heart checked or keeping tabs on your blood pressure. And if your gums bleed, are swollen or hurt when you brush your teeth, or your teeth are loose

or have a receding gumline, you need to see your dentist immediately.

Aside from seeing your dentist twice a year for professional cleaning, flossing once a day and brushing at least twice a day is a must.

Additional use of a rubbertip stimulator and/or a dental irrigator (waterpik) with aloe vera can do wonders refreshing neglected dentition. With whitening you can even brighten your smile.

These are the “forgotten” children whose young lives have been turned upside down, that fall through the cracks with little or no insurance or government programs available to help them. Passion 4 K.I.D.S. is best recognized for its work with Baby Izaiah. Charles Van Kessler was raised in a state-run orphanage in Amsterdam, Holland, during World War II after his family was snatched away in front of him at age 2 by the Nazis, and suffering abuse of every kind and malnutrition. Passion 4 K.I.D.S. is a family run charity that works hands on daily with the children it is honored to serve. In addition to receiving a Proclamation from the City of San Diego, Passion 4 K.I.D.S. also received a Certificate of Recognition for its work by the California State Legislature as well as by the U.S. Congress through Congressman Darrell Issa.

An early morning gathering of DAR members from six chapters, the public, and cadets and officials from the academy were treated to a medley of patriotic tunes from the ANA Warrior Band. The band played the National Anthem as the Colors were raised. Commandant Col Wayne Ward USA (ret) issued the Oath of Leadership to five senior cadets who received their sabers and epaulets. Seventeen different nations are represented at the academy with 98% going on to college. Members were excited to see that Board member Ed Roe was wearing a JROTC Medal that he had received from the DAR in 1958 when he attended Southwestern Military School.

Chuckles Cont. from Page 5 Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').

2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.'

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

8. You will learn to make real chips.

Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually

beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as NearFrozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialect in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

13.. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen!

The Pastor Says . . .

Basement People bring us down. They discourage, criticize and sometimes are actually mean. Often, they are more concerned about themselves than others around them. They don’t watch out for the “common good” but for their own needs.

If I’m honest, I’ve been both at times.

To be a balcony person, not a basement person, it takes intentionality.

Paranorman is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 3 year old, 10 pound, male, Domestic Short Hair cat with a Brown and White Tabby coat.

Paranorman is outgoing and very affectionate. He loves attention and other cats. He was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society from another shelter through the FOCAS program.

The $100 adoption fee for Paranorman includes medical exams, vaccinations, neuter, and registered microchip. For more information call 760-753-6413, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, or log on to SDpets.org.

Alexandra is a 10-year-old Domestic Short Hair mix looking for a loving home to call her own. She is quite shy, but with some time and patience, she can be a very affectionate kitty who loves to be pet. Her ideal adopters would be cat savvy adults with a quiet home. In addition, November is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month, so it’s the perfect time to take home a sweet senior like Alexandra. Meet this adorable tuxedo cat at our Escondido Campus. Her adoption fee includes her spay, permanent microchip identification, current vaccinations, 30 days worry free insurance from Trupanion Insurance and a certificate for a free veterinary exam! Alexandra is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (619) 299-7012.

Pastor Sam Brumit Mission 316 San Marcos

Are you a Balcony Person or a Basement Person?

I first heard that question years ago.

As the years passed, I realized the importance of it. In essence, it meant do you lift people up or drag people down?

The longer I live, I realize my life has been positively impacted by balcony people. A balcony person is someone who lifts you up. Someone said balcony people are those who “encourage, help, give, serve, are considerate, enthusiastic & joyful, quick to forgive, good listeners, diligent, compassionate. They make people’s lives better.

They also make people better”. My list of basement people include my parents, some neighbors, teachers and professors, some strangers, and many a person I met at church along the way.

To be a balcony person, it helps to hang around people who are balcony people not basement people. Give some thought to those in your life who encourage you the most.

The scriptures speak to the encouragement we all need and encourages us to give it to others.

Being a balcony person can be accomplished in large and small ways.

Giving someone a ride or visiting someone in the hospital can really touch a life. Sharing God’s love with others can ultimately change a life.

Which will it be today – Balcony or Basement? It’s a choice.

Everyone is welcome to visit Mission 316 Church in San Marcos. The service is held at 10 AM on Sundays at 3 Civic Center Drive (The Community Center) – directly across from the San Marcos Public Library. You find many “balcony people there”

Shop and dine local this holiday season

With the holiday season upon us, the City of San Marcos encourages residents to stay close to home when shopping and dining. Spending locally is not only convenient; San Marcos businesses also benefit. Sales fortify the local economy and save shoppers time and gas.

For every $1 you spend at locally owned businesses, the city’s allocated share of sales tax stays in the community. Spending in San Marcos instead of online also ensures that the sales tax dollars you pay stay

where they belong— in your community. When transactions are made locally, sales tax revenue is generated for important City services such as public safety, parks and recreation, and street maintenance.

When residents shop locally, it saves time and resources, helps build the backbone of our local economy, and ensures that the city continues to deliver top-notch programs, projects and services to its residents. It’s a win-win-win for the community.

Shop local San Marcos!

Wildfires Remind Us To Be Prepared

The wildfires in Northern and Southern California are a reminder that a wildfire could flare up any moment, especially when gusty Santa Ana winds are expected along with low humidity. Watching the wildfires north of us is a reminder that Vista residents should sign up for San Diego County’s free notification system called Alert San Diego. This regional notification system is used to alert the public during evacuations and emergencies.

Our Vista Fire Chief, Jeff Hahn says it best, “Simply put, this type of notification is one of the most

important tools in being informed about an incident near you or if you need to evacuate.”

I encourage everyone to register their cell phones with Alert San Diego. Landlines are automatically included in the system. Register at ReadySanDiego.org and check out the resources and information on home preparedness, what to take when you are asked to evacuate, and how to create defensible space around your home. Together, we can be better prepared when a disaster or emergency strikes.

Why your next computer should be a “Refurb”

As weeks go by “Refurberville” keeps getting bigger, pushing “Brandnewville” further into the corner. “Refurbs” are a rapidly growing part of our business and are, for most users, the most sensible way to add or replace a computer for the vast majority of home and business applications.

Many business and home computer users don’t really understand what refurbs are and why they are by far the smartest alternative for most desk top or notebook users. For that reason we take these next two weeks to describe what they are and why

Obituary

Refurbished PCs or “refurbs” are Enterprise or Commercial grade computers that have been used in large corporate, government or academic institutions.

Most of these institutions budget three to five year replacement cycles. The replaced PCs are tested and reconditioned then sold as “refurbs.”

The reason that refurbs are better than new PC starts with their design. Corporate Information Technologists (I.T.s) are responsible for developing the specifications and performance criteria for corporate computer equipment. I.T.s are a lazy bunch. The want to be able to enjoy their three martini lunches in peace and bask in the glory of a perfectly running computer network. They hate it when things break or go wrong. That is why they make sure that their organizations purchase the very best, most expensive and reliable equipment available. Enterprise notebooks have solid cases, strong hinges and clasps, the best batteries, chargers, hard drives, RAM and motherboards available. The I.T.s insist on three years of warranty and then they contract with maintenance services to ensure that their

Thor Emblem Sr. passed on Sunday, November 4, 2018 in a car accident.

He is preceded in death by his father Olav, mother, Vivian, and his brother Erik.

He is survived by his brothers Gary, Kurt and Olaf, his wife of 33 years Tracy, daughters Lillian, Vivian and Erin, his sons Steven, Thor Jr., Bryan and Olav; by 15 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and countless friends.

He worked as a contractor/developer for almost 20 years and became an attorney and practiced law for the last 30 years.

Dr. Novy was selected from 42 candidates from around the nation after a year-long search by SDBG’s Board of Directors. As former Executive Director of the U.S. Botanic Garden, one of the oldest, most prominent and most visited gardens in North America, Dr. Novy has considerable experience running botanical institutions.

The U.S. Botanic Garden had an annual budget of $14M and approximately 70 employees during Novy’s tenure. While there, Dr. Novy oversaw renovation of the Garden’s historic Bartholdi Park, produced original botanically themed theater, and welcomed over 1.2 million visitors per year. He also reestablished botanical collection expeditions for the first time since the 1850s. He is a plant biologist with degrees from New York University and Rutgers University. He remains an active researcher, holding research appointments at the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, and University of California-San Diego. He currently serves on the boards of the Cornell Alliance for Science, Botanic Garden Conservation International-US, Live It Learn It (a Washington, DC based experiential learning non-profit focusing on Title 1 school children) and the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden.

ments (bloatware). These PCs only need to survive the single year warranty period and if you do need help during the warranty period you might need to learn a second language.

By contrast, the computers bought in retail stores like Fry’s, Best Buy, Costco, Staples and Office Depot are designed for price competition. Retail home and small business buyers as a rule have no concept of performance, quality or reliability. They are price shoppers. The companies that design and manufacture retail computers for Dell, HP and others are under constant pressure to cut costs. Dell and HP etc get most of their profits on these cheap retail PCs by loading them up with preinstalled and prepaid advertise-

So that’s why three to five year old Dell or HP notebook PCs with your choice of Windows 7 or 10 Professional are a better deal than brand spanking new Dell or HP notebooks with Windows 10 Home. Even at the same price as new “retail” PCs, “refurbs” would be an obvious choice, but the “refurbs” are actually cheaper. It’s a “no brainer.” Is it any wonder that new PC sales are in “free fall?”

Next week we review “refurb” workstations “desktops.”

WHY choose “refurbished” enterprise grade notebook and deskͲtop PCs for your Business or Home?

Half the Price.

Better reliability.

Better performance.

Optional Win 7 Pro or Win 10 Pro. Why pay twice as much and get half as much?
