Winter in Omaha, Nebraska, can be mighty mean. Cold, blustery, temperatures so low your toes and fingers go numb -as well as your nose and any other part of your exposed body.
There was one winter in particular at Bishop Clarkson Hospital, back in Omaha, Nebraska. Bishop Clarkson Hospital has since merged with and become part of the Nebraska Medical Center. Back a few years ago, actually, more than a few years ago, there were two young lads, both patients, in the same hospital room at that very same Bishop Clarkson Hospital. They became great friends. A young white kid, maybe 12 years old, was in for an appendectomy. The other patient was a young Indian boy, about the same age, The The Paper Paper -- 760.747.7119 760.747.7119

simply known as “Little Joe.” Joe was in for examination and evaluation for a condition that was causing great distress for the boy but that doctors had a hard time diagnosing. The young white boy had his family come and visit him regularly both pre-op and post-op. His family always tried to include Little Joe in the visits and it seemed to cheer him up some. Little Joe’s family didn’t get in to see him much. Little Joe wasn’t in for surgery. He was in for tests. He was a handsome kid . . . with a beautiful set of teeth. And when he flashed a smile, his brown eyes would sparkle and those perfectly formed teeth, against that warm brown skin, just stood out like a beautiful oil painting. But Little Joe didn’t smile as often as everyone would like. He was Obituaries Memorials Area Services Page 12
hurting, and when he hurt . . . well, he didn’t smile a whole lot.
When the pain would go away the white kid and the Indian kid would talk like young kids do. They’d talk about their dreams, their wishes, their hopes. When Joe wasn’t hurting they’d laugh and play games. Often, he’d have to go out in the hospital’s deep, dark laboratories and exam rooms from time to time to take more and more tests to see if they could find out what was causing his pain. When he came back, he usually wasn’t smiling. The tests were not easy, some were, in fact, painful. Back then, Omaha had a skid row area, down between 13th and 16th streets, not all that far from the Mighty Missouri river. Today, the river district and the neighborhood that used to house a lot of

Omaha’s derelicts has been built into a beautiful commerical district with lovely boutique shops and restaurants galore. A great entertainment venue.
But back then, it was a skid row, home to a lot of Indians who lived down there. Mostly, it was Indians who were down on their luck, or who had drinking problems, which was a prevalent problem within the Indian communities that were in and around Omaha. It was probably a good 16, maybe 20 city blocks from the skid row area up to the Bishop Clarkson Hospital. A long, cold walk, particularly in the winter time, with the cold temperatures and sharp winds coming in off the plains . . winds that would cut through your clothing like a knife.

left that skid row area and began the long walk from where he lived. He was headed for the Bishop Clarkson Hospital.
Somewhere between the wretched area where he lived and the hospital, he came across a Christmas tree lot. He stopped and looked around, talked to the salesman who was manning the lot and who saw fewer and fewer customers for his trees the closer they got to Christmas Eve. The old man didn’t have a whole lot of money but spoke to the Christmas tree salesman and after a brief discussion, the saleman gave the old man a rather scrawny little tree. He refused payment and wished the old man a Merry Christms.
The old man continued his walk, carrying his scrawny little Christmas tree. After what seemed like hours of plodding through the snow swept streets, he entered the lobby of the Bishop Clarkson Hospital, inquired as to a room number and took the elevator up. Little Joe had had a rather rough day of tests and wasn’t feeling very well. As the old man entered the room, however, Little Joe’s

Christmas Cake Recipe from Diane:
Hi All,
Once again this year, I've had requests for my Tequila Christmas Cake recipe so here goes:
Please try to keep it in your files because I'm beginning to get tired of typing this up every year! Ingredients: 1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder 1 cup water 1 tsp. salt
1 cup brown sugar Lemon juice
4 large eggs (room temperature)
Nuts (your choice) 1 bottle tequila
eyes lit up. His family had come to see him! Or what was left of his family. And with a Christmas tree! True, it wasn’t much of a Christmas tree, kind of a scrawny little thing, but to Joey it was probably the most beautiful tree he had seen in ages.
The Old Man was Little Joe’s dad. He wasn’t really all that old. He just looked old because he kinda walked with a stooped over back . . . probably from working heavy labor jobs at the Union Pacific railroad, in the cornfields of Nebraska’s farms, or wherever he could find work. The hard work had taken its toll on this once powerful body. There clearly was a great bond between Little Joe and his dad. Joe couldn’t stop smiling and chattering away. The Old Man just smiled quietly and stroked his son’s hair. We learned that Little Joe’s mom had died several years earlier. It was just Little Joe and his dad against the world. They were making it, too. Not exactly living high on the hog or getting rich . . but they were carving out a life for themselves, as best they could. And then Joey got sick. He had terrible stomach aches, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, chills, and then the symptoms would settle down. They’d go away, maybe for 2 cups dried fruit Directions:
Sample tequila to check quality; Take a large bowl; check tequila again to be sure it is of the highest quality.. Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again.
At this point, it is best to make sure the tequila is still OK. Try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy.
Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit Pick the fruit up off the floor. Mix on the turner.
If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the tequila to test for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something.
Check the tequila. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven.
Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner
Finally, throw the bowl through the window.
days. Sometimes they’d just come . . . and then go . . . sometimes they’d leave because Joey had medication to dull the pain. As the symptoms became more constant, the pain more unbearable, it was time for Joey to head to the hospital for tests to find out what his medical problems were.
kids have a somewhat Merry Christmas and, who knows? Maybe that happy feeling might be shared by the nurses.
Joey’s eyes lit up at the gifts as well, all wrapped up, looking Christmas lovely.
In time, Little Joey’s dad had to leave and the white kid’s parents offered to drive him home. He accepted quietly and gratefully. Little Joey had to fight back the tears when his dad left. He wasn’t sure how soon his dad could make it back to the hospital for another visit.
The white kid’s parents arrived and were determined to cheer their son up for Christmas. They wanted to try and make his Christmas, even while in the hospital, a joyous event. They had brought some gifts and they had even remembered Joey, bringing him several gifts.
The Old Man thanked the parents and soon that hospital room began to get a mighty warm feeling. There were smiles and laughter.
Several of the nurses on the floor heard about the tree and pretty soon, strips of crepe paper appeared, red, white, green, all were brought in and hung on the scrawny Christmas tree. The nurses already spoiled the two young patients rotten . . . but since it was Christmas Eve and they had to work anyway, they decided to do all they could to help these two Finish the tequila and wipe the counter with the cat. Cherry Christmas

There have been mightier and more magnificent celebrations of Christmas on Christmas Eve, people singing hymns in mighty cathedrals all over the world, lots of rich kids and their families opening presents and enjoying the Christmas season. But it’s hard to imagine anyone enjoying Christmas Eve more than these two young kids, and their families, all spending Christmas Eve in the room and the halls of Bishop Clarkson Hospital.
Indeed, the next day, Christmas Day, the white kid’s parents did return to spend Christmas with their ailing, but recuperating young lad. And they tried to help Little Joey enjoy Christmas as well. But Joey wasn’t feeling well that Christmas Day. He was polite and

“The Gift of Love” Adoption Promotion at Humane Society – Adoption fees are being waived for all animals, courtesy of generous donors’ gifts. Hundreds of homeless animals are at San Diego Humane Society in need of homes, so pet adoption fees are being waived for all animals now through December 24th at all campuses and satellite adoption centers.

A Christmas Story Cont. from Page 2
The nurse came in with his breakfast and his medications.
The nurses would scurry in and out and check his pulse and temp and whatever it is nurses do to 12 year old lads who are hospitalized. Joey was always cooperative, even if he had to have a shot or to have blood drawn. He was a rather good patient and the nurses were clearly fond of him.
“Where’s Little Joey?” he asked, though he probably already knew the answer.
tried to smile but mostly he slept, or tried to . . . and he wanted to keep to himself.
That night, after the parents left, the two lads talked, but not a whole lot. They did talk about what they were gonna do the first day when they got out of the hospital, what their pals were probably doing tonight, what school would be like once Christmas vacation was over. And then they fell asleep.
The next morning the white kid awoke. He turned to greet his roomate and bid him good morning. He froze.
Joey wasn’t there and his bed clothes were all rolled up. Something wasn’t right.
The kid looked at the nurse with a questioning look and saw a tear in her eyes.
“Little Joey passed away early this morning,” she said, and she didn’t try to hide the tears that flowed, nor the tremor in her voice. The 12 year old buried his face in his pillow and screamed, “No! Not Little Joey! He was my pal. We were just talking last night! He can’t be gone. He’s just a kid, like me!” I can remember this Christmas memory as though it happened yesterday. You see, I was the other little 12 year old patient.

Robbery from Vinaka Cafe
On Thursday, December 14 at 7:05 p.m., the Carlsbad Police Department was called to Vinaka Cafe located at 300 Carlsbad Village Drive in regards to a person with a weapon who attempted to steal from the Café.
Officers arrived on scene and observed multiple bystanders holding down two combative male subjects. Officers conducted an investigation into the subjects who potentially had a weapon. A preliminary investigation was conducted and it revealed that a white male adult and a white male juvenile entered the Vinaka Café and stole the tip jar from the counter. The employees observed what had happened and began to argue with one of the male subject’s about the theft. During the argument one of the subjects produced a firearm that was later identified as an airsoft gun. Subsequent to the altercation with the employees of Vinaka Café, the adult male, who was outside, assaulted a female bystander who was standing outside the Café. He struck her in the face, damaged her cellular phone, and bran-
dished the airsoft gun towards her. Bystanders who had witnessed the series of events, intervened and forcibly detained the two suspects.
The adult male suspect was positively identified as Giovanni Matteo Ojeda Filippone, a 19 year-old white male, from San Diego. He was booked at the Vista Detention Facility for Robbery, Assault, Brandishing a Weapon, Conspiracy to Commit a Crime, as well as various narcotics charges. The male juvenile was arrested for Robbery and Assault and transported to San Diego Juvenile Hall where he was booked for the aforementioned charges. An investigation into the incident is ongoing. Oceanside Mayor Retires
Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood, who has been absent from City Council meetings for most of the year, announced last Wednesday that he was resigning his post, effective Jan. 1. Everything was perfect. And then came the bill.
$104.61, before tip. Two jumbo shrimp dinners with pasta, plus wine. It was worth every penny. I reached for my wallet. I didn't have it!
Too late I remembered it lying on my desk at home and I had forgotten to pick it up before we left.
Man About Town
What a night!
I did something Friday night that I haven't done in 50 years. Friday was Mary's birthday so I decided to take her out for a night on the town.
We went to a really upscale restaurant, Vintana's, in Escondido. Beautiful restaurant, beautiful atmosphere, superb service, excellent waiter, great food, and a great bottle of wine. Yes, I bought a bottle of wine. Mary is not supposed to have alcohol but she's been such a good girl and it was such a special occasion that I granted special dispensation and bought a $40 bottle of wine (I seldom spend more than $10 on a bottle of wine). We had a superb dining experience, were very, very pleased with the evening.
Mary and I rummaged in our pockets and we came up with about $75. Paolo, our server, totally understood.
I told him I'd leave my wife there and go home, get my wallet and return. "Oh, no. She doesn't need to stay here. Go ahead and you can come back later."
Wow! He didn't know me from Adam. I could have been a con artist trying to pull a fast one. Must have been my angelic face.
I went home and called Vintana's and asked if I could give them my CC# over the phone so I wouldn't have to drive back (I had 2.5 glasses of wine and don't like to drive when I've had anything to drink.) Again, they couldn't have been nicer. I gave them the CC# and the evening was finally over.
Fifty years ago I pulled a similar stunt; this time, however, it was
Wood suffered a serious stroke in the spring, and has struggled to fully recover. His resignation came in a letter to the city clerk.
The 69-year-old had just returned to the council dais a week ago to lead his first City Council meeting since his May 16 stroke, though he needed help to perform his duties. The city clerk helped read agenda items and call on public speakers, and the city manager helped him cast his vote and take other actions during the meeting. “We are in a transitional point here, and it’s very emotional,” said Deputy Mayor Chuck Lowery, who’s served as acting mayor since May, In addition to his letter to the city clerk, Wood sent a separate letter to the City Council recommending that the panel appoint City Clerk Zack Beck or former City Manager Peter Weiss, who currently serves as a consultant to the city.
State law specifies that the council has 60 days after the resignation to appoint someone or schedule an election, Beck said. The council has until Feb. 7 to place the vacancy on the June ballot.
with a young lady who handled advertising for a client I was calling on. Lovely lunch, came the bill and Mr. Bumble had left the wallet at home. She wound up paying the bill. I paid her back the next day but still, it was embarrassing. I had never dined at Vintana's before; had heard lots of great things about it. Everything I'd heard about the restaurant was true. First class restaurant, food, service . . . everything was perfect. Except for me, Mr. Bumble, having forgotten my wallet. •••• Well, Jim Wood has resigned as Mayor of Oceanside. Sorry to see him go. I like the guy.
In 1971, Jim joined the Oceanside Police Department and served for more than 31 years, working in child abuse, narcotics, robbery, property crimes, domestic violence, homicide and elder abuse. As a senior investigator, he worked with many outside agencies, including the Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Naval Criminal Investigative Services. He retired from the Oceanside Police Department in December of 2002. In November of 2002, Jim was elected to the Oceanside City Council after a very active campaign in which he walked virtually every neighborhood in Oceanside. Jim worked hard with citizens and City staff members. He made frequent visits to neighborhoods throughout the City to hold “Neighborhood Office Hours” providing citizens with an opportunity to

PEARL HARBOR STORY
I'm truly humbled that so many fans of The Paper have taken the time to email me, directly, regarding my recent Pearl Harbor story (published Dec. 7, 2017). Many of you have even come up to me on the street to give me a hug. Due to so many questions, I thought it most convenient to address them all here. My family and friends asked me to make some clarifications and corrections:
My Uncle Sotero (mentioned in my Pearl Harbor story) served on board the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier (CVN 68), NOT the USS Saratoga as erroneously cited in my storyline. From what friends and family have informed me (since my cover story appeared in The Paper), my great grandfather served on board

He’s had a brilliant career, done a great job . . . but he deserves a rest so he can look after his health. Thanks for all you’ve done for Oceanside, Jim. Ya done good, Mr. Mayor!

Wal-Mart at Ash and East Valley Parkway, Escondido, now have three “mobility scooters.” Good marketing plan. Disabled folks might come and spend all of $12 or $15 to get one or two items if they have to walk the aisles; with a scooter they can shop at their leisure and likely spend $100 or more.
The Walmart on East Grand have 15 or 20 mobility scooters; Vons has one, Ralphs on E. Valley Parkway has two. There are a lot of disabled folks in Escondido and North County. It just makes sense to make it easier for them to shop and spend their money.
What’s more, all of the stores named above provide staff to help load the groceries in the car and then drive the scooter back into the store.
Memo to grocery stores, drug stores, etc., . . . if you don’t have at least two mobility scooters available for the handicapped, you’re missing out on a lot of business. A lot. A word to the wise and all that.

FREE Postural Evaluation
for Back Pain, Neck Pain, Hip Pain, Knee Pain or Scoliosis !!
Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine. There’s stiffness, pain and often times a deformed posture. Many scoliosis patients have been told they only have three choices – to do nothing, bracing or surgery. Postural Biophysics Can Help My name is Dr. Hoon Lim, D.C. at Back & Neck Pain Relief Center. Over the past thirty years, I’ve helped thousands of scoliosis patients feel better, get rid of their back pain and return to an active lifestyle. Postural Biophysics has a long record of successfully helping people with scoliosis. A study published in a scientific journal (JMPT 2001) showed an actual decrease in the scoliosis curvature of patients. The head of the study, Dr. Charles Lantz, D.C., Ph.D. stated… “Chiropractic appears to offer a distinct advantage in the management and monitoring of early stage scoliosis.” The most useful part of this study was that the sooner a child or an adult underwent treatment, the more correction of the curvature would take place. So if you suffer from scoliosis, back pain or neck pain,

the USS Saratoga. Again, my uncle Sotero served on the USS Nimitz which was commissioned in 1975 and its final home port was designated in 2015. That is a huge difference in years between the USS Saratoga (1927-1946) and the USS Nimitz (1975-2015) the latter which my uncle Sotero served on as an 18year-old Electrician's Mate.
My favorite uncle "Soto" (as he was nicknamed) was tragically killed by a drunk driver on his way home from duty. I bear the exact same name of my uncle on my mother's side, but, Soto was my unabashed favorite. It is so shockingly unexpected that so many of you expressed such an interest in my personal and family life. I never realized how close our readership fan base has become to us here at The Paper.
To the Thompson, Reynolds, and Johnson Navy families of San Diego and Los Angeles who emailed me and who all knew my neighbor, Master Chief James Lair, who gave me a guided tour of the Point Loma Naval Base (consolidated in 1998) -- yes, I toured the nuclear sub base, but not in 1998. I toured it on two consecutive occasions, the most recent second visit in October, 2007. After my 4 years in the U.S. Navy I truly thought I was out of harm's way in my civilian life. It is highly ironic that civilian life would prove to be the most dangerous for me.
In 2008, I suffered a massive injury when I fell from a great height off of an industrial ladder while at work and miraculously lived! I was rushed to Escondido's Palomar Hospital. I flat-lined twice on the operating table only to live 18 excruciating days in the intensive care part of the hospital as a virtual cripple, where I had to be carried to be bathed and fed and learn to eventually walk, all over again, like the infant I once was. I no longer wished to live and only prayed that death would just claim me to put me out of my misery and pain. I was given 3 shots in the stomach each evening to prevent any possible stroke. It was there when I first came across a copy of Lyle E. Davis' The Paper. The Chuckles section made me laugh so loudly that I could be heard way down the halls! My laughter was so loud that my 7 doctors literally ran to my room only to find the source of my sudden 'turn-about' and were shocked to see what 'miracle therapy' had suddenly gave me back my will to live: it was Lyle E. Davis' The Paper!
My neurologist, who had discovered and vanquished my deadly brain hematoma (which should have killed me outright) turned to my ophthalmologist (who saved my eyes), my orthopedic surgeon (who reconstructed my legs with Titanium), my trauma surgeon (who kept me alive) and the other doctors without speaking. Then, my neurologist, looked back down at The Paper, then looked up again at the other 6 doctors and said point-
blank: "Hell, we should have this damned paper in all the patients' rooms!" And he meant it. In time, when the nurses came in to administer my stomach shots I began crying all over again. That's when my neurologist discovered a small stack of The Paper hidden under my pillow. My neurologist smiled and said: "I've got an idea. Let him hold a stack of those papers!" The nurses let me clutch them close to my chest and I stopped crying, and endured the shots. After being 'put back together' again, and surviving "post traumatic syndrome" for about a year (I had a psychiatrist to guide me through with medication, etc.), I wrote my very first story for The Paper on July 15, 2010. It was my small Native American way of saying: "Thank you, Lyle E. Davis, for giving me back my life, teaching me to laugh again, and making me want to live instead of wanting to die. This is my way of saying thanks."
Since my near-death experience, I never doubted again, how the mysterious power of laughter can, truthfully, be the world's best medicine! And also, just how many lives are affected by The Paper each and every week. Just think, Lyle never even knew me; neither my name; or that I even existed. Yet, made my Native American spirit want to, once again, soar amongst the eagles. Thank you, Lyle, and especially, thank you Evelyn Madison. Evelyn, truly, makes The Paper run smoothly. Without her, well, The Paper would not be what it is today. I hope all this helps answer all the questions of how, what, and when did you first write your first story. To all the beautiful fans of The Paper, you mean the world to me. To all of you, everywhere, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Friedrich Gomez a.k.a. "White Eagle" (Kumeyaay Nation)
Editor’s Note: Friedrich Gomez, pictured above, will soon publish his 90th cover story for The Paper. He will have published 100 cover stories by sometime in 2018. We will do something special in recognition of that major milestone. More on Friedrich Gomez:

High Diesel Taxes Hurt Us All
When the new 12 cent per gallon gas tax went into effect November 1st, hardworking Californians took an immediate hit. The tax on diesel increased by 20 cents a gallon, but we have seen that rise to 30 cents at the pump. Vehicle registration fees are going up by $25 -$175 after January 1st, based on the value of your vehicle. Consumers will pay more for groceries, goods and to have your Christmas gifts shipped due to fuel surcharges, higher shipping costs and manufacturing of goods that rely on diesel powered engines.
Small businesses, like mine, are affected since we operate diesel trucks to ship our products and not only the cost of fuel, but the cost of the raw goods we bring in for manufacturing goes up as well. Wholesale apparel, inks, cleansers, supplies that go into manufacturing all go up. Those costs will be passed on to consumers. Our district's major economic engine is agriculture. According to Diesel Technology Forum, diesel engines power over 90% of vehicles transporting farm prod-

The gas taxes we already pay are continuing to be diverted to the state general fund. In fact, no new lanes for congestion relief will be built with the new taxes. 1/3 of the money goes to parks and some to high speed rail.
These tax increases can be stopped by the voters. Please visit www.stopthecartax.org to download a petition to repeal the gas tax increase and amend the Constitution so that future increases must be approved by the voters.

Support Wildfire Recovery Efforts – The Lilac Fire has severely impacted the San Diego North County region. Over 4,100 acres have been burned, and Cal Fire reports 151 structures destroyed and 56 damaged. Dozens of units were destroyed in the Rancho Monserate retirement community in Bonsall. After thousands of San Diegans were displaced last week, thankfully all evacuation orders and road closures were lifted. As you can imagine, resources are strained, but our region stands together to overcome this disaster. In response to the critical situation, on December 8 The San Diego Foundation activated the San Diego Regional Disaster Fund. Grants from this fund will support the recovery and rebuilding efforts in the wake of the wildfires, as well as preparedness efforts to build community resilience to such events in the future. Grantmaking will support nonprofits providing needed services to wildfire survivors. Decisions will be guided by the San Diego Regional Disaster Fund Board, a committee of community leaders with expertise in public safety, emergency response, medicine, housing, finance, philanthropy and other disaster-related knowledge. The San Diego Foundation will respectfully steward donations and ensure the effective and efficient administration of the Fund, just as we did following the 2003 and 2007 wildfires when the support of hundreds of donors mobilized $13 million for our county. You can make a contribution from your donor-advised fund to support recovery efforts by contacting our char-

One of History’s Most Complex Men
Many exploits of famed aviator Charles Augustus Lindbergh that he lived during his long life were not always good. Lindbergh was born Feb. 4, 1902. His friends called him “Slim” for his tall, lanky frame and long stride. During and after his famous 1927 flight, the media dubbed him “Lucky Lindy,” and “The Lone Eagle.”

President Roosevelt disliked Lindbergh's outspoken opposition to his administration's policies of giving aid to England, telling Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau he thought Lindbergh was a Nazi. “What a pity this youngster has completely abandoned his belief in our form of government and has accepted Nazi methods because apparently they are efficient.” Roosevelt stripped him of his Air Corps rank, but nonetheless he worked as a consultant in the Pacific, flying 50 combat missions as a civilian. After World War II, Lindbergh continued as a consultant to the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force and to Pan American World Airways. In 1954, on the recommendation of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lindbergh was commissioned a brigadier general in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. The Lindberghs had six children. In 2003, two years after the death of his wife, it was revealed that, beginning in 1957, Lindbergh had engaged in covert sexual affairs with three women, fathering seven more children.
Ten days before he died, Lindbergh wrote to each of his European mistresses, imploring them to maintain the utmost secrecy about his illicit activities with them even after his death. The three women (none of whom ever married) all managed to keep their affairs secret even from their children, who during his lifetime (and for almost a decade after his death) did not know the true identity of their father. They had only known him by the alias “Careu Kent” and they only saw him once or twice per year. He was a pilot in the Army Air Corps during World War I. Afterwards he became a U.S. Mail pilot. He wanted to compete for a $25,000 prize to be the first pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic. At age 25, he went from obscurity to instantaneous world-fame by making a nonstop flight from Long Island to Paris.
Lindbergh covered the 33 1⁄2hours, 3,600 statute-mile flight alone in a single-engine aircraft built by San Diego’s Ryan Aircraft factory. Ryan was located where San Diego International – Lindbergh Field is today. The plane was named the Spirit of St. Louis to honor the group of St. Louis, Mo., businessmen, who put up the money to build the plane.

Woman’s Club of Vista Orientation - Ten members of the Woman's Club of Vista enjoyed learning about the Club at a recent new-member Orientation held at Alta Vista Botanical Gardens. President Judy Pantazo shared highlights of the Club's 101-year history and General Federation history. Donation Day, Scholarships, and reporting were explained by Past President Nancy B Jones. The Orientation session emphasized the Club's mission of "Enriching lives through philanthropy and volunteer service." A review of the Club's numerous projects provided information to promote volunteer-
Before the United States formally entered World War II, some people accused Lindbergh of being a Nazi sympathizer. An advocate of non-interventionism, he supported the anti-war America First Committee, which opposed American aid to Britain in its war against Germany.
Lindbergh was still an officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve, and received the nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.
Lindbergh’s historic flight probably was the only event of happiness. In 1929, Lindbergh married Anne Morrow, daughter of U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Dwight Morrow. However, Lindbergh's historic flight and instantaneous world fame led to tragedy. In March 1932, their infant son, Charles Jr., was kidnapped and murdered in what American media called the "Crime of the Century" and described by H. L. Mencken as "the biggest story since the Resurrection.” By 1935 the case’s hysteria had driven the Lindbergh family into voluntary exile in England until they returned in 1939.
However, in the mid-1980s, after reading a magazine article about Lindbergh, one of the daughters in Germany deduced the truth. She compared photos in the articles with family snapshots and more than 150 love letters from Lindbergh to her mother. After her mother and Anne Lindbergh had both died, the girl revealed the truth. In 2003, DNA tests confirmed that Lindbergh had fathered the German children. Ironically, other than the three mistresses, the children didn’t know about Lindbergh’s life accomplishments, including “The Lone Eagle.” He used a fake name with all of them. Lindbergh spent his last years on the Hawaiian island of Maui, where he died of lymphoma on Aug. 26, 1974, at age 72. He is buried on the grounds of the Palapala Ho'omau Church in Kipahulu, Maui.
There is a post-script to Lindbergh’s most complex life. In the 1980s, a small article appeared in several newspapers with another revelation: Lindbergh had actually been a spy for the U.S. Army Air Corps to assess the German Luftwaffe (air force) on his visits to Germany in the late 1930s. His reputation for being an anti-war leader and one of the world’s greatest aviators allowed him unprecedented access to German aircraft and factories before the war started. Whether it’s true or not remains an intriguing question because Lindbergh was surely an enigma. Tom Morrow's books are available at Amazon.com in soft-cover or via Kindle E-mail.

Cindy Lou is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 2 year old, 101 pound, female, Anatolian Shepherd mix.
The term “Gentle Giant” is perfect for Cindy Lou. She’s a big dog who doesn’t seem to notice that she’s big. She loves to sit close, lean on people, and give as much love as she can. Cindy Lou was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society from another shelter through the FOCAS program.
The $145 adoption fee for Cindy Lou includes medical exam, vaccinations, spay, and 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.

Santa Ana winds clocked in at nearly 80 miles per hour in the East County, prompting SDG&E to turn off power in high risk areas to avoid sparking a wildfire.
Also discussed was a plan to test a change in the fee structure. A study of the cost to produce energy reveals that daytime energy delivery is less expensive than night time energy delivery. Solar power often provides more daytime power than necessary, bringing down daytime use costs.

"The only difference between me and General Custer is that I have to watch the films on Sunday." - Rick Venturi, Northwestern football coach CHRISTMAS EATING TIPS
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnogalcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
Before making any decisions about permanent changes to energy rates, SDG&E will pilot a Time-of-Use rate structure using 100,000 existing customers. Those selected for further analysis will be informed and a dual tracking billing system will be monitored to see if setting fees by time of use will impact conservation and cost.
I will continue to share what I learn by attending these quarterly advisory meetings.
3 . If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission. 5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello? 6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time

The Pastor Says . . .
I am, because of my nature, a hopeful person and choose to point people to hope, help and Him. There is so much to communicate about God’s power and grace. It’s the antidote to a world in chaos and the answer to every question.
Pastor Sam Brumit Mission 316 Church San Marcos, CA.
In times like these…
As a pastor and somewhat of a leader in some circles, I’ve thought a lot lately about the voice God would have me to offer to the events and affairs of our world and the culture and climate that exists today. About once a week I want to type out words that speak to the crises of the week I read about in the news. Band wagons are always close to jump on. Our world is so broken in so many ways. I, along with every believer must really discern what to do, be and say in light of the strife, confusion, division and pain that exists.
Evil must be confronted, pain must be alleviated, wrongs must be righted, stands must be taken, prayers must be prayed and, above all, love must be shared every day to everyone we encounter.
I’m thankful to serve a God who will make things right eventually. His peace will reign forever someday. (Selfishly I can’t wait). In the meantime, we are salt to a tasteless society, light amidst the darkness and ambassadors of outrageous hope.
Most of what we hear each day is less than encouraging. It’s our calling to not just kick against the darkness but turn on the light. People need to know our God and we might be the only example some have of his grace and acceptance. We need to continuously speak to the challenges of an increasingly complex world. I guess I’ll stay in the battle… you?

Vista • Mayor Judy Ritter
Hidden Asset - Senior Volunteers
Senior residents are an important part of Vista’s volunteer community, with hundreds of seniors donating their time to make a difference each year. Two departments, currently in need of senior volunteers are the Vista Fire Department and the Vista Sheriff’s Station. Vista Fire senior volunteers help with day-to-day administrative services; fire prevention education; conducting station tours, assisting with the Smoke Alarm program; and providing support such as hydration and food to firefighters at fires and other extended emergency incidents. To learn more about volunteering, contact Vista
Fire at 760.643.2801. The Senior Sheriff’s program assists the Vista Sheriff’s Station with administrative work; as well as, writing parking citations; marking abandoned vehicles; and providing home checks for home-bound residents or for those away on vacation. For more information on the Sheriff’s Senior Volunteer program, please call 760. 940.4434. New research shows that seniors who volunteer are enjoying health benefits after just one year of volunteering, including decreases in anxiety and depression, loneliness and social isolation. That’s an added plus to the benefits Vista receives from its senior volunteers! Thank you to all of the volunteers making a difference in our community.

It’s that time of year again
The “Holiday Season” stretches from Thanksgiving through Christmas and New Year’s Day. It’s a time to reflect on our lives. Thanksgiving is the time to celebrate the blessings life has brought to us, Christmas is a time to enjoy the present and New Year’s challenges us to create an even better future. Using a sporting event as a metaphor for life lets us divide our life into periods. Baseball with nine innings is too much. Basketball and football quarters don’t quite work because 20 year quarters only gets you to 80 and 25 year quarters take

I was most pleased reading your Pearl Harbor story written by Mr. Friedrich Gomez. A most powerful, emotional piece that was truly a masterpiece of writing. He makes me feel like I'm there in the story. For 3 months now I pick up copies of The Paper to see what else he write about. The "You Could Be Jewish" story make me laugh out loud with all my college friends because we fascinating with cultur-
For Nome and me the “first period” was growing up in small town Indiana. It was stable and comfortable and all about parents, friends and school, the first job, becoming an adult, finding each other, getting married and starting a family. The “second period” took us out of our comfort zone. It was about career, money, climbing the corporate ladder, adapting to changing jobs, homes and locations and raising and launching the children into their “second period.” Then came our “third period.” The kids are launched, our corporate careers are over and comfort and stability are back. This year The Computer Factory will see its 23rd Christmas and the home where we’ve lived for the past thirteen years is the first of the seven homes we’ve owned that we actually got to live in for more than two years. The “third period” is a lot like the “first period.” We’ve had the time to get to know and love our community and the people in it. Everywhere we go we see friends and neighbors. At our business we see a steady stream of old friends and we meet new ones every day. The things we do for our customers are necessary, important and appreciated. Because of our business we learn new things every day and we stay connected to al differences in other parts of the world from our own South Korean ways and customs.
We are reading fans of Mr. Gomez and look in your Archive Section of The Paper to discover more of his writings. He is a most accomplished writer and can make us laugh, then cry, then reflect on our world around us. Only very few writers can be craftsmen like that with comedy, drama, and emotional strengths. Usually the writers have only one strength in only one area and cannot do anything outside that one strength. You keep this writer. We keep reading your

Last Wednesday morning Nome and I attended the monthly San Marcos Chamber of Commerce “Coffee Connections” networking meeting at the new Fairfield Inn on San Marcos Blvd. As always we enjoyed the event and as we were leaving I asked Nome if she realized that we were probably the oldest people in that room. She thought for a moment and then she said “yep, so what.” I said “But we’ve been going to events together for over fifty years. Socials, Scouts, youth athletics, professional organizations, political shindigs, civic clubs, company parties etc. Why is it that we don’t feel any different now than we did when we were the youngest couple in the

And that’s why we’re spending our “third period” doing what we’re doing. So when people ask us when we plan to retire, kick back and enjoy life, we don’t have an answer. We can’t think of anything we’d rather be doing than what we are doing. Maybe we are just a case of arrested development. Merry Christmas Nome and Paul

for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again. 8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day? 9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost.. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Glass of wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" Have a great Christmas season!

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative 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: 01/02/2018 Time: 11:00 a..m. Dept: 504 Address of court: 1100 Union Street, San Diego, CA. 92101. 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.
