The School welcomed its first students on March 17 in 1946 Cuyamaca Outdoor School (COS), the oldest outdoor school in California, is celebrating its 75th anniversary today. To celebrate, COS is encouraging people to get outside and enjoy nature!

If you’re one of the millions of students that attended one of the San Diego County Office of Education’s (SDCOE) camps over the years - Cuyamaca, Palomar, or Fox – you learned to appreciate the great outdoors while at camp and probably have a few memories from your experience. Take a hike and journey back to that week in the mountains when it was just you, your classmates, your hike leader, and nature.

“Sixth Grade Camp continues to be an unforgettable experience, offering students the opportunity to learn and grow in many ways, get outdoors, and disconnect for a little while,” said Principal Kris Pamintuan. “We are looking forward to resuming to in-person activities as soon as it’s safe to do so, welcoming students back to camp, and continuing the tradition of connecting kids to science and nature."

In the meantime, Cuyamaca Outdoor School is (COS) is enjoying bringing camp home to students in videos and virtually.

Cuyamaca Home Edition offers more than 50 videos created by staff, as well as activities, lessons, and more, to engage students in science and connect them to nature right from their own homes.

“Our staff thought it would be

fun to share videos of them out in nature in hopes that it would encourage students and families to connect to nature, as well,” Pamintuan said. “Our goal was to share science and nature with as many people as we can.”

COS also recently launched its new distance learning program, Virtually Camp Cuyamaca: An Outdoor School Experience. The five-day program is modeled on what students would experience during a week at COS. At Virtually Camp Cuyamaca, students explore science and nature curriculum by participating in activities online and outside. Each day, the student experience includes virtual field trips, exploration time activities, evening programs activities, and completing activities in their COS science journal. Additionally, each student DEHSIreceives an LBATSE 0781 kit. exclusive COS science “We are excited about our virtual camp offering and think students will find it fun, engaging,

and valuable,” said Dustin Burns, outdoor education program specialist, who has been with COS for 25 years. “It has optional evening activities where students can log in from home and even include their families in listening to stories, singing songs, watching silly staff skits, and making smores.”

The first group of San Diego 6th graders journeyed with their classroom teachers to Cuyamaca Outdoor School for 6th Grade Camp on March 17, 1946. The experience of spending five days and four nights in the mountains as part of a 6th grader's science and social studies lessons was unusual at the time, only being done in a few other places throughout the United States.

The concept was a good one: provide first-hand experiences in environmental education and natural sciences while, at the same time, introducing children to social situations requiring continued on page 8

1453 Hollow Glen Road Deadline is Friday Noon for the next weeks issue

Long Time Pine Hills Mutual Water Company Employee Retires after 14 Years of Service.

Every resident of Pine Hills knows Dave Southcott, superintendent of the Pine Hills Mutual Water Company. Dave is retiring at the end of March, 2021. Dave has been a driving force in maintaining and updating the infrastructure which nobody can see, namely the water distribution piping buried out of sight, and the complex operation of the Water Treatment Plant. Dave will be greatly missed as he is relocating to Montana. Dave is also well known in the community as a volunteer firefighter with the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District before it was disbanded. Dave will be greatly missed by all of us associated with the Pine Hills Mutual Water Company, and speaking for all the Shareholders, we wish him only the best in his retirement.

Dave’s replacement is Brian Griffin, a local resident of Julian, who previously worked nine years at YMCA Camp Marston. Brian began work on January 4, 2021 alongside Dave learning all the Treatment Plant and Distribution System operational requirements.

Dear Editor: To the people who wrote the Land Management article found in the March loth issue, about the extensive clearing of their favorite hiking/ walking area: anyone who has ever taken any interest in walking through a recent burn in our area will note, if they are observant, that it is the small dead dry branches on the chaparral plants and trees which burn during a fire. Those are the branches about the thickness of an index finger and smaller. At times, even the index sized branches often fail to burn.

To protect chaparral groves from fire, one must go into the groves and carefully observe what exists there. A grove large or small can often be protected by removing all dead branches from the live plants, raking all kindling from the ground, and removing the "slash" to a safe place. It is the kindling which ignites and burns and causes fire to spread. Look at the chamise. During the summer and fall, half the plant is often gray in color. The gray is the thick multitude of dead extremely dry very fine threadlike branches, and it is these which give chamise its reputation for extreme flammability.

When I lived in Wynola Springs, along Coleman Creek, we had on our north side a beautiful manzanita grove of about an eighth acre.

I did the very work mentioned above to this grove. When the Cedar Fire burned up to the edge of the grove, it could not spread into the crowns of the plants and those manzanitas survived and still live today. I even have a witness to this, if necessary. My neighbor on the north side remained with his property during the fire. He later told me that my understanding of fire behavior was exactly what happened on the day the fire swept through Wynola on the west side of highway 78.

A gentle ground fire went through the grove, burning along the ground through the dry grass stubble, fizzled out, never vaulting one bit into the crowns of the plants. How could it? The kindling and dry "ladder" fuels responsible for any sort of crown fire were gone. Not there.

I want to mention, just below, some understanding of fire behavior.

My wildland firefighting years were in the Northwest. West Side fire crews in Washington, Oregon, and Northern California, when not on a going fire, were a part of Timber Management. National Forest timber managed by the U.S. Forest Service. We prepared clearcuts on steep slopes for prescribed burning, and when the prescription was met we burned those slopes, 30 to 50 acres at a shot. The prescriptions often estimated hundreds and at times thousands of tons per acre of dead dry logging slash in those "units" to be lit on fire. We called it "light it and fight it." The only way to clear such enormous waste for future replanting was to burn it. I'm only recounting this here to indicate a good knowledge of fire behavior. After four long seasons of this, I transferred to strictly wildland fire, IHC, Interagency Hotshot Crews.

If I never saw another clearcut, it was, to me, a good thing, although IH crews were occasionally called to help deal with a fire in logged over units. We went to chaparral fires in Southern California as well.

About clearcutting: it is a bad practice and very damaging to the land, to the plant life, and to the humans and animals living there. All of them, insects, birds, fish, reptiles, mammals, soil bacteria, and so on. It is inimical to life, not a life affirming, life positive activity. When I look at the photo in The Julian News of the area "cleared," I see another version of clearcutting, plain and simple.

I would encourage the local people affected by this decision to pursue their complaint further. Why? Because when Americans don't participate in their own governance, for instance land management decisions for PUBLIC lands, things like this can happen. About the Julian area in specific, it seems like any sort of land ethic which once existed here among the local population barely exists anymore.

It's more or less gone, except perhaps for the Volcan Mountain Foundation, and an individual here and there.

On my part, I loved that manzanita grove mentioned above, and in spite of my injuries I went out there with some simple handtools for 20 or 30 minutes at a time and took care of it quietly, gently. Protected it from fire, and used the kindling to help keep the trailer warm. I think it's an example of someone with a land ethic, who works at it on their own without the support of a large foundation. By saying things like this, I hope to inspire others.

Burrowing Owls Find Home In The Grasslands Of Ramona March 17 event marked the largest reintroduction of the species in the San Diego region, building on efforts by San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and key partners in restoring the population.

San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance team members gathered with Ramona residents and representatives of natural resource agencies to welcome some new neighbors to the Ramona grasslands: 24 western burrowing owls. The grounddwelling raptors, which hatched at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park,

were reintroduced to a swath of suitable habitat preserved as part of the Regional Multiple Species Conservation Plan and managed by the San Diego Habitat Conservancy (SDHC).

Native to western North America, resident populations of burrowing owls are very rare in San Diego County. A resident breeding population has not been documented in the Ramona area in recent history, though the grasslands provide prime habitat with underground burrows and abundant prey. The reintroduction is part of a larger

From The Supervisor’s Desk

Notes from Supervisor Joel Anderson

The New Butterfield RV Park Julian has a new “suburb” in the desert. Butterfield Manufactured Home and RV Community, about ten miles south of Shelter Valley, is a growing community of RVs and mobile homes on what used to be the old Butterfield campground.

The Park, now a bit over two years old, currently has about 150 occupied spaces with approximately 250 residents. The goal is to expand to a bit over 300 spaces for approximately 1,000 people. The park has a small store, a clubhouse, 2 swimming pools, a dog park and, according Park Manager Kyle Newman and Assistant Manager Jaydee Peterson, great community spirit.

There was a corral for tenant’s horses in front of the store which, together with the old wagon by the side, communicated a Western theme.

The development has approximately half of its power coming from an extensive array of solar panels and a good supply of water from artesian wells.

There is a generator to provide water and keep the store running when SDG&E shuts down power and the plan is to develop their own microgrid.

Athens Real Estate Ventures founded the park with the goal of working with Homeless Outreach and Veteran’s programs to get people into housing. There are some Section 8 (US Government subsidized) tenants—these are rentals but many of the tenants are purchasing their trailers or houses.

Julian is the nearest town for the residents and their post office. A number of the residents commute to work here, and about fifty students are bussed to Julian schools each day. There is a Feeding America drive at the Park every fourth Friday and outsiders are welcome to come.

The park can also do a Diaper Bank though arrangements need to be made in advance.

Butterfield affords people a low-cost alternative for housing, which is both scarce and

effort in the county that involves many partners, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and SDHC. “This project is another example of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s long history of partnering with San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance to conserve San Diego County’s native species,” said Scott Sobiech, field supervisor at the Service’s Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office. “We cannot accomplish our mission without our valued partners.”

“Actions like this are why we do what we do,” said Don Scoles, executive director of SDHC. “This is the perfect example of how planning and implementation of regional conservation goals has enabled SDHC to be ready to take this colony and manage the land specifically for the burrowing owls for generations to come.”

Before March 17, 2021 reintroduction, the birds acclimated to the environment inside aviaries. As representatives from the organizations looked on, the temporary structures were removed, completing the owls’ reintroduction. While there are no guarantees the birds will remain in Ramona and start a resident population, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and SDHC staff will continue to monitor and support the owls that remain through supplemental feeding and other management actions.

“We are delighted to be able to bring a species to the Ramona area that will serve to enrich the grasslands area,” said Colleen Wisinski, wildlife recovery expert with San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. “I am certain that these adorable owls will become celebrities and a beacon of hope in this region – being watched over by the community and everyone who loves birds.”

Standing around 10 inches tall with a 2-foot wingspan, western burrowing owls are the only ground-dwelling owl on the continent. The owls often take over burrows from other species that dig holes (like

Hello friends. As you may know, I was recently sworn in on January 4 to represent you on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors after the retirement of former Supervisor Dianne Jacob who served our community well. I wanted to take a moment and let you know of the ways that my office can be of assistance to you.

Many of you may know me from my service as an Assemblyman and State Senator in the California Legislature. I have been a longtime grassroots advocate for issues that I, and many East County San Diegans, care about. In every position I’ve held, I promised my constituents that I was not in office to become a potted plant and, regardless of the political environment I am in, my goal is to make government work for East County residents. With dozens of bills passed, landmark legislation authored, and thousands of constituent issues resolved, I am proud of the service my team provided and I will continue this same approach serving you now as Supervisor.

In the first two months since being sworn-in, I have built out a wonderful staff and they are ready to serve you. Many are not aware how our office may be of assistance, so I’d like to share an example.

Just days after coming into office, it was brought to my attention that residents of Alpine were being assessed and billed for fire services provided by both the County of San Diego Fire Authority and the Alpine Fire District. I immediately contacted the County Assessor’s office to investigate and act on the issue. I also sent letters to all the affected constituents, informing them of this situation. As a result, the problem was resolved, and Alpine residents are no longer being taxed twice for the same services.

Since January, my office has been able to assist constituents with several issues and no task is too small, we want to do what we can to help as quickly as possible. Not only do I represent your concerns at the Supervisors’ board meetings, but my job and priority is to serve as a resource to you. If you have any County issues with which you need assistance, please contact my office as we are here to help. You can contact me using the form on my website at www. supervisorjoelanderson.com, which I will also keep updated with important information and helpful community resources.

Again, it’s an honor to serve and I look forward to hearing from you.

ground squirrels) to use as their nest burrows. Insects and small rodents serve as their main food sources.

This reintroduction extends San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s efforts to restore western burrowing owls to the Southwest region. Numerous burrowing owls have been moved out of development footprints and reintroduced in protected areas that can be managed to support them. In San Diego County, there was only a single breeding population, in Otay Mesa. Over the past few years, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance has worked with partners to establish a new breeding population at the Rancho Jamul Ecological Reserve, managed by CDFW. This effort appears to be a success in the making, and the population continues to grow as reintroduced owls remain on site and produce offspring. It is hoped

that this success can be repeated at Ramona grasslands, adding a third population of this endearing and iconic grassland species and helping to secure their future in Southern California.

Anyone with a computer or smartphone can help researchers better understand burrowing owls and improve conservation outcomes by participating in Wildwatch Burrowing Owl. Motion-sensing cameras collect images of owl families in Otay Mesa that citizen scientists can help classify. This serves a critical research function that informs science-based solutions for their recovery.

Simple Tips For A Better Wedding Registry (Family Features) For some couples, the idea of registering for wedding gifts is an exciting way to start planning for the home they'll be sharing as newlyweds.

For others, the registry is just one more chore to check off the wedding to-do list.

Regardless of where you fall on the love-it-or-hate-it spectrum, most experts agree a registry is a good idea, especially for couples who will be setting up a home together for the first time.

Keep these tips and etiquette guidelines in mind to get the most out of your registry.

Take inventory of what you have and what you need. For couples who've lived alone or together, the registry may be a way to fill in gaps for necessities neither of you already have.

It's also a good way to begin upgrading the less expensive kitchen items and furnishings you had as college students or singles. Make a list of your needs and wants so you don't forget any essentials. If you're still in doubt, request a checklist from the store where you'll be registering so you can do some planning.

Register for things at a wide range of price points. The whole purpose of a registry is to make it easy for your guests to get you things you'll like and need. Part of making it easy is recognizing your guests have diverse financial situations. While it's customary to gift the bride and groom, not everyone can afford an extravagant gift, especially if they've spent money on travel and attire to attend. While it's

• On March 23, 1839, the initials "O.K." are first published, in The Boston Morning Post.

5 Ways to Spark Your Child’s Interest in STEM

a good idea to offer modest options, don't shy away from bigger ticket items that a small group might chip in on together.

Keep access in mind when you choose where to register. Avoid stores that are local or regional if you have many guests who live out of the area. Also avoid the temptation to choose online only options, as some guests will prefer to see what they're buying.

Aim for a mix of large national stores and online retailers.

Plan to block off at least a few hours for an in-person registry.

It will take time to get everything set up. Traveling through the store, debating options and making your selections could take longer than expected. Also be sure to ask how you can add to or edit your registry after your initial visit.

Get your partner involved.

There are bound to be some parts of the registry your partner may not care about, but asking for input and making decisions together lets you both share in the excitement. Focus on things you'll each find useful as you settle into your new home. For example, the person who will be responsible for taking out the trash should get to pick the new kitchen trash can.

The past year has revealed many things, and among them is the extent to which we rely on science to solve problems that impact our everyday lives. Scientists everywhere are making science cool and are an inspiration to kids. Children represent the future and are tomorrow’s scientists, so it’s in all our interests that they develop a love of science.

As kids continue to learn virtually, however, the lack of connection to their teachers and peers can make it challenging for parents to find new and exciting ways to keep kids engaged.

These challenges come at a time when it’s never been more important to encourage kids to lean-in to science. According to an independent research study, the 3M State of Science Index, 74% of people are more inclined to believe that the world needs more people to pursue STEM-related careers to benefit our future society.

To get there, kids need a strong STEM foundation. Here are five tips to help you inspire initial interest in science in your children that can bloom right in your own home: 1. Emphasize the impact science has on the world. Encourage kids to observe real-world problems and actively think about how STEM skills can address the issues they care most about, whether in their school, community or globally. As they observe, help your child understand the numerous ways STEM already impacts their lives.

2. Connect science to their interests. We often think of science as existing in a silo, but it can be connected to just about anything! Kids are much more likely to find a “way-in” to science if they can match it to their interests. For example, a love of cooking can easily lead to an continued on page 12

Snow And A Cat Goldie likes to go out after breakfast and peruse the hunting prospects or whatever it is that cats do when humans aren’t watching.

Goldie likes to go out after breakfast A Lot. Goldie REALLY likes to go out after breakfast.

Unless there is snow. Then it’s, “Whoa, what is this white, cold wet stuff that covers my ground… MY ground… How Dare It!” If there were ever an affronted cat, Goldie beholding snow is an affronted cat.

He is a Persecuted Pussycat. He suffers and so does everyone else given Goldie’s ability to transmit his profound unhappiness at being confined to the house to all those anywhere near him.

Goldie should read “Scottish Nurses in Romania in World War I”.

The level of suffering in that book surpasses even Goldie’s profound misery at the sight of a white cold wet-paw world outside. Not only the soldiers who were brought in mainly to field hospitals without beds to die on straw pallets, or have legs amputated without enough anesthetic, covered in mud and fleas and probably lice. The nurses themselves, volunteers from Scotland to the Eastern Front, lived in makeshift quarters through a winter without adequate heat, happy for a hot cup of tea and bread, forget the cheese, unable to wash themselves or clothes for days on end, sleeping often on bare boards in train cars as the Eastern Front Allies retreated up through the Danube Plain to Iasi in 1916. Setting up bare bones “hospitals” to care for waves of bleeding and dying wounded then taking them down to move north yet again. And cold Always cold, Even for a Scot it was cold.

Goldie, like most Americans in the 21st century, has only had the barest taste of real suffering which raises a question about what this does to character. What kind of view of life do people have who think that having their air conditioning on the blink for a day is a real problem? It’s an interesting question which has been posed to Goldie but he doesn’t listen.

He sits at the door and meows, hoping the snow has gone away.

Since ten minutes ago. The door is opened, he puts his catnose out into the frosty air, dabs at the white with a paw, and asks why we haven’t shoveled him a path to the barn. Spoiled brat.

I remember pagers being popular in the late 1980s. Doctors needed them for emergency calls. When we saw high school age students using them, we assumed they could be using them for drug deals and maybe some of them were.

When my pregnant daughter lived with us here in Julian and I was going to college at Grossmont Community College; I kept a pager with me in case she went into labor and needed to get ahold of me.

She never quite understood the meaning of emergency calls because she would page me; I would rush out of class to call her just for her to ask when I planned to be home.

About the time I was splitting up with my children’s father; I flew to North Dakota as a surprise visitor for my brother’s college graduation when he received both his Batchelor’s and Master’s degrees in Divinity. As my brother said, he had been preaching for many years, so it was time to complete the job.

My then husband had me take a portable telephone with me just in case I needed it. What a mistake! It came with a five-pound battery pack and he didn’t tell me how to use it. That was when portable telephones had to roam, which he also didn’t tell me about.

I had no use for a portable telephone for years until Mike and I got together. Before we owned The Julian News, we owned Julian Web, an Internet Service Provider. Julian Web was great until the Cedar Fire. Once the fire hit, many of our clients moved off the hill and were able to get faster service. AT&T was given the option of offering faster service six months before smaller companies were offered the service. On top of that, to get faster service, you had to live within two miles of town. We live four miles from town. Mike drove out on house calls, so naturally he bought himself a cell phone. He also bought himself a handspring which is like a Palm Pilot, but he left that somewhere and it never came home.

Sometime through the years Mike gifted me with a cell phone. It was a flip phone which some people call a clamshell type phone. I loved using my little cell phone and eventually wore it out. My second cell phone was a good one too, but I have a lot of trouble plugging my phones into the chargers and apparently bent the prongs.

Some of my friends urged me to switch to a Smart Phone. Mike bought me one and that was a really bad idea. With my hand tremors and with the phone working by barely touching it; I managed to go to screens I didn’t know were there. I also had a very difficult time getting where I wanted to go, so I asked my husband, my two sons and my three grandchildren for help constantly. I remember times when I meant to call a number that began with an area code of 619.

With my tremors, using the smart phone, the area code may have looked like 61111111111199999999999. Not good.

After just a few weeks I nearly begged Mike to get me a flip phone, telling him I just couldn’t use the Smart Phone. It took him a while to find one and find one he did. One thing I like best about my flip phone is that when I press any button or specific place on the face of the phone, I hear a clicking sound. If I don’t hear a clicking sound, then I need to press that button again. The Smart Phone made no sounds when I thought I was pressing, so I had no immediate idea if I was connecting. This newer flip phone is more advanced than any previous flip phones that I used, so it takes time for me to get used to it. For instance: when I look for a contact, the phone almost always takes me to an edit page. My eleven-year-old granddaughter had to show me how to get past that. Another thing it does when I’m looking for a contact is that it will automatically take me to the last person I called. Once again, my eleven-year-old granddaughter showed me how to circumnavigate that page.

Now, none of this may interest you. However, I have recently found out that I really do need to have a portable telephone.

One day I was sitting in my car in Santa Ysabel listening to the radio, not realizing that I was running my car battery all of the way down because I had turned the engine off. When I tried to turn the engine on, it wouldn’t, so I called my husband from my cell phone to his cell phone. He rescued me using the new battery cables I gave him for Christmas. Two days later I bought a new battery for my car.

One day at home, I tripped on a carpet and couldn’t get up. I lack core strength, meaning my body parts are weak. I checked all of my body parts and decided nothing was broken or even exceptionally painful, so I called Mike at work to help me up. I keep my cell phone in my pocket whenever possible for these kinds of occasions. He came home within ten minutes, got me up on my feet and I didn’t go near that carpet for days.

Sometimes I lose my balance, but not so much anymore. I’ve been getting physical therapy at Alpine Physical Therapy in downtown Julian, and they taught me exercises to do at home. It’s taken months, yet I finally feel my legs getting stronger when I don’t slack off of my few exercises and I always keep my portable phone in my pocket, just in case.

These are my thoughts.

Tips To Boost Girls' Interest In Math And Science (StatePoint) The global challenges of the future will require kids today to have a strong STEM foundation. Unfortunately, girls are not always expected or encouraged to pursue these fields of study. Here are some great ways to boost girls’ interest in math and science: • Celebrate female scientists: Throughout history, female scientists have helped change the world, although sometimes they did so behind the scenes, from Rosalind Franklin whose work -- though largely unrecognized at the time -- was critical in the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, to doctor, engineer and NASA astronaut Mae Jemison, the first African American woman to travel in space. Highlighting the vital contributions female scientists have made can show young girls what is possible for themselves.

• Give them the right tools: Give girls the best chance of success in their high level math and science classes by equipping them with the latest tools. Graphing calculators that bring mathematics to life allow for a more comprehensive learning environment in any classroom. The fx-CG500 from Casio, for example, not only offers a high-resolution touchscreen LCD display with over 65,000 colors, but its expanded features and improved catalog function supports math exploration.

Using quick commands and a wide range of features, students have the ability to easily draw three dimensional graphs, such as planes, cylinders and spheres, and view them from various angles, and a cross-section option with a special zoom function enables them to further examine the graph for deeper analysis.

• Make home a learning lab: Math and science are not just for the classroom. Make your home a learning environment too by providing your child with science and robotics kits. You can also check out free online resources that can help kids get a leg up in the classroom, like the Casio Education website. Found at casioeducation.com, the site features tons of resources to assist with remote learning and helps incorporate technology into mathematics learning.

• Go the extra mile: Extracurricular programming can make continued on page 11

Shirley Helen Beyer April 17, 1941 - March 13, 2021

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Shirley Beyer on March 13, 2021. She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Marv Beyer, daughters Tracy and Tammy, their husbands Mike and Steve, sister Carole Wilson, and grandchildren Nicholas and Brigette.

Shirley was born in Mott, North Dakota to Henry and Helen Roemmich on April 17, 1941. As a teenager she moved to San Diego.

She graduated from Crawford High School in 1959 and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from San Diego State University in 1963. She married her college sweetheart in 1963 and they created a home and family in San Diego. Shirley worked as a school secretary for San Diego Unified School District until she retired in 1998. In the year 2000 she and Marv moved to Julian. They found a house on a beautiful piece of land in Pine Hills and both she and Marv took a lot of pride in creating a beautiful home. Shirley enjoyed being active in her community and volunteered for her church and the Julian Woman’s Club, writing both their newsletters for more than 10 years.

Those who knew Shirley knew she liked nothing more than to be camping with her husband and family. Some of her very favorite places to camp were Yosemite and Yellowstone National Park, and Anza Borrego State Park. She loved hiking, bicycling, sitting around a campfire, and creating amazing dinners in their motorhome.

Shirley was kind, loving, smart and had the perfect amount of spice to make those around her laugh. She put effort and took pride in everything she did, and made everything around her beautiful, neat, and orderly. She deeply loved her family, and her passing leaves a great emptiness in all of us. She left us much too soon, but she loved her life and lived it to the fullest.

Bonham Bros & Stewart Mortuary and Cremation Service is assisting the family.

Gerald D. Sanner

January 3, 1946 - February 6, 2021 Gerald D. Sanner died peacefully at his home in Ramona on February 6, 2021 at 75 years old. Gerry was born January 3, 1946 in Decatur, Illinois. He and his wife, Mitzi, grew up together and were married for 58 years. He entered the Army in September of 1963 and was honorably discharged in September of 1971 with a rank of SP6.

Gerry was someone you never wanted to play Trivia Pursuit with, you would never get a turn, but he'd give you a small chance when playing dominoes. He had a passion for trains and sure loved his Grateful Dead music!

Gerry is survived by his wife, Mitzi Sanner, son, Gerry Sanner (wife, Kimberly), daughter, Melissa Brean (husband, Johnny), Brother, Gary Sanner, three granddaughters, Chevielle SannerHughley (husband, Scott), Brooke Brean and Brenna Brean and one great-granddaughter, Emilee Hughley, who great Grand-Dad was so proud he taught her how to wink!

A private family service will be held at Miramar National Cemetery.

Chef’s Corner Spring Mix Greens Herald A New Season

Years ago, when bags and bins of spring mix lettuce greens first appeared in the grocery stores in early March, I must admit, I was skeptical. To me, spring mix looked like small leaves of multicolored lettuce mixed with lawn clippings. The variety of colors and flavors, textures and varieties were radically different from my traditional (and quite frankly boring) salad consisting of iceberg and romaine leaves, and maybe a tomato or two.

After trying spring mix, I’ve become a fan of the interesting combination of flavors and textures. Now one of my favorite spring pastimes is visiting my local farmers market and looking at all the varieties of lettuce greens at their colorful best. spring mix, also known as “mesclun,” is a name used for a salad mixture of leaves of various species. The name comes from the Spanish word “mezclar,” which translates as “to mix.” Traditional mesclun usually consisted of chervil, arugula, lettuce and endive.

Now, spring mix is typically made up of 16 fresh greens and lettuces of varying tastes and

textures, including red romaine, baby spinach, radicchio, green romaine, red oak leaf, mizuna, red leaf, lollo rosso, arugula, red mustard, green mustard, red chard, frisee and tatsoi. About half of the greens and lettuces are sweet and mild, while others provide a complementary, slightly bitter edge.

Spring mix is available yearround with a peak season in spring and summer. These delicate greens contain a punch of flavor and are packed with vitamins A, C and E, calcium and potassium.

Here’s an overview of the many types of spring mix lettuce continued on page 11

Even though the auction catalog warned that the shipping cost would be high because of the weight of the 29-by-38-inch cast iron stove, the winning bid was $4,688.

needed for heat and cooking.

Cast iron stoves came in many styles, most cast with curlicues and pictures formed by a mold.

Special stoves had extra trim, a few tiles on the front or a complete set of tiles showing people, architecture or greenery.

A very unusual stove made about 1895 was covered in English Minton and Wedgwood tiles picturing the 12 months of the year, fairy tales and nursery rhymes created by Walter Crane for two of his 1887 children's books, and other Crane drawings of fairy tales and Aesop's fables.

Additional tiles were copies of pictures of the month by Helen Miles in the 1870s. The buyer also got the stove's impressive provenance: a family scrapbook that identified previous owners, including the founder of Hobart Brothers of Troy New York, and a pictured article in Colonial Homes Magazine from 1994.

Even though the stove had been converted to gas and

would cost a lot to ship, it sold for $4,688. *** Q: I bought a miniature Stetson hat and hat box at a yard sale several years ago and paid $2 for it. A friend told me when he was a young boy, his job was to stand outside a department store and when anyone left the store with a real Stetson box, give them one of these small boxes with the hat.

Can you give me any idea of age and value?

A: These miniature hats and hatboxes were not free. They were gift certificates someone paid for. The box included a gift certificate for a new hat, so you could give someone a gift of a hat and they could choose it themselves. Miniature Stetson hats are the most often found but other hat manufacturers also made miniature hats and hat boxes to promote their brands. Miniature Stetson hats were made in felt and in plastic.

Hatboxes were usually made

of paper or cardboard, though some were made of tin. Some boxes just have the brand name, some are decorated. A check of recent sales shows a felt hat in a tin hatbox for $40 and a plastic hat in a cardboard hatbox for $24 to $40. *** CURRENT PRICES Shaving mug, occupational, D.K.

We like to play harmless pranks...

Newspaper Fun!

Pastor Cindy Arntson

Years ago, when I attended a series on violence, I learned how vital it is for people to be meaningfully connected to other people. Often times, a tragic result of being disconnected is a violent action. We were told that one common characteristic of the youth who were involved in school shootings is feelings of isolation.

This need for connection seems to be important to all areas of violence prevention, including self-harm. A study done in Chicago showed that in communities where a high percentage of people know their neighbors, the violent crime rate goes down significantly.

Certainly, in cases of domestic abuse, secrecy and isolation from others are needed to perpetuate the violence. In single parent families, one study found that simply sending in a public health nurse once a week to help support the parent decreased the rate of abuse 80%. The risk of suicide is greater for those who have recently lost a loved one or who feel especially isolated. Our human connections have lifesaving potential.

This past year of isolation because of the pandemic has been especially challenging for all of us but especially those who started the year with challenges of mental health, domestic abuse or addiction. I recently saw an interview with five veterans who struggled with PTSD. All of them were healing and coping before the pandemic through increased social contact and involvement.

All of them got worse and felt suicidal at one point or another during the pandemic. All of them were able to reach out for the help they needed and offered hopeful words of encouragement to others in similar circumstances.

Most of us probably assume that as the pandemic subsides and the restrictions ease, these challenges of social isolation will disappear. But I recently read an article in the Huffington Post (March 9,2021) in which therapists warned that the effects of this long isolation will continue to threaten mental health for a while. They said that we should be on the lookout for worrisome symptoms in ourselves and those around us. Some people may experience extreme anxiety and reluctance to go back out into the world even after it’s “safe.”

Depression and suicidal impulses may not disappear immediately.

Rory O’Connor, director of the Suicidal Behavior Research Laboratory at the University of Glasgow said, “With regards to suicide, although a rise in suicide is not inevitable, experience from previous epidemics and economic recessions suggests that suicide rates could increase, especially in vulnerable groups.”

And children are especially vulnerable to long-term mental health effects. To help our children, Denise Daniels, a child development expert said, “Offer comfort and reassurance for their safety. Increase physical contact during times of uncertainty. Talk about all the people that are working hard to keep them safe.”

Unfortunately, many people feel that they cannot tell others about their mental illness, their depression, their suicidal tendencies or the abuse within their families. They fear judgment and rejection. Needing to keep a significant part of their life secret intensifies their feelings of isolation. This hesitancy means we need to be more observant for signs of distress and protect their confidentiality.

As a small community, we tend to know more about our neighbors and maybe see more of what might otherwise be hidden in a more urban setting. We need to be ready to really listen when we ask, “How are you?” We need to take seriously and without judgment someone’s admission of hopelessness, depression or loneliness. We need to be ready to set aside our busy agenda to help meet someone’s desperate and urgent need to feel accepted and connected. I believe that

April Fool‛s Day Surprises The first day of April is April Fool’s Day. It is a time for lots of fun. People like to play harmless jokes and pranks. One favorite trick is to point out something that’s not really there!

April Fool’s Day used to be called All Fool’s Day. It is thought to have started in France. A long time ago, March 21st was the date of the New Year. A little over a week of parties and fun followed. On the last day of the festivities, April 1st, formal visits were paid and gifts exchanged.

In the 16th century, the Gregorian calendar was introduced. March 21st was no longer New Year’s Day and April 1st was no longer the right day to visit and give gifts. News traveled slowly in those early times, so many people continued to celebrate April 1st as the last big day of the holiday season. Many others did not like the change of date and refused to change their ways. People who clung to the old ways were called “April fools.”

Today, on April 1st, you might hear someone call out, “Poisson d’Avril!” They have fooled someone and are calling them an “April fish.”

The person took the “bait” and was easily “caught.” April Fool’s Day is a day for tricks that hurt no one. It is a time for laughter.

...on our friends on April Fool’s Day.

School, Camp Fox near Santa Ysabel, and Camp Palomar on Palomar Mountain. Now, 6th Grade Camp occurs solely at the Cuyamaca site, about an hour east of San Diego. Approximately 12,000 students attend camp each school year, with up to 432 students participating each week.

The program is open to public, charter, and private schools in San Diego County and beyond.

“In the Santee School District, we take learning seriously, which is why we continue to support the week-long outdoor education program provided by the SDCOE for our 6th grade students,” said Superintendent Kristin Baranski. “We know the delivered curriculum is top notch and staff is highly qualified. Our students will never forget their camp experience and we love hearing their stories when they return.”

SDCOE is celebrating Cuyamaca's anniversary all year, and is encouraging 6th Grade Camp alumni to share their memories and learn how they can help more San Diego County students attend 6th Grade Camp.

California Commentary

Senate Bill 668 Needed To Buy Time For California Families It’s hard to imagine anything more callous than the government sending a giant tax bill to a bereaved family, but thanks to Proposition 19, many California families will have that unfortunate experience.

Prop. 19, which passed by a razor-thin margin in the November election, expanded a tax break for some homeowners but repealed an important taxpayer protection for families.

The effective date of this change was February 16, before most Californians even knew what had happened.

Here’s what happened: homes that are transferred between parents and children are no longer excluded from reassessment.

Previously, children would continue to pay the same property tax bill that their parents had paid, with increases in the assessed value capped by Prop. 13 at a maximum of 2% per year. Not anymore. Now children inheriting their parents’ home or other property will receive a new tax bill based on a current market-rate assessment.

There are only limited exclusions for a family farm and for a home that is the primary residence of the parents if the home becomes the primary residence of the child within one year. Otherwise, the home and any other properties such as small businesses or rental homes will be reassessed as of the date of transfer. The new annual tax bill will be 1% of the market value which will easily double or triple the property tax bills of most transferred properties.

Unfortunately, the costly advertising campaign pushing Proposition 19 never mentioned the loss of this “intergenerational transfer” protection and the fact that this happened to families in the midst of a pandemic made it difficult or impossible to get information from government employees or even to record documents. There was little time to consult an attorney or revise an estate plan before the February 16 deadline arrived.

As families discover the harm of Prop. 19, more and more people are contacting the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and telling us that they want to see the exclusion from reassessment for parent-child transfers of property reinstated. We agree. We are urging lawmakers to support

by Jon Coupal

a legislative constitutional amendment that reverses the damaging part of Prop. 19 and restores the constitutional protections that it quietly removed.

HJTA is also sponsoring Senate Bill 668, authored by Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, to delay the effective date of this portion of Prop. 19 for two years, until February 16, 2023.

Such a delay is within the Legislature’s power.

Even though the effective date of the measure is now part of the state constitution, a 2007 court ruling in the case of Strong v. State Board of Equalization ruled that the definition of “change of ownership” may be altered by legislation. This offers a path to a reprieve for pandemicweary Californians now at risk of a sudden and unaffordable tax increase during a time of bereavement.

We now know that Proposition 19 blindsided voters who were never informed as to its real impact. The parentchild transfer exclusion from reassessment was written into the state constitution in 1986 by Proposition 58. California voters had already abolished the state inheritance tax and prohibited any future inheritance taxes, but with property appreciating in value so quickly, children who inherited their parents’ property faced the equivalent of an inheritance tax when the property was passed to them and reassessed to market value.

Children who couldn’t afford to pay the taxes were forced to sell the family property.

The uproar was such that the state Legislature unanimously passed a proposed constitutional amendment enacting the parentchild transfer exclusion and put it on the ballot as Proposition 58. It was approved by more than 75% of voters. Prop. 58 also wrote into the constitution what had already been written into state law: property passed between spouses was excluded from reassessment.

Senate Bill 668 would extend the period of time before a “change of ownership” would be defined as including parent-child transfers of a home and other property.

This is an extremely important bill, not only to California families that will suffer under continued on page 12

How The Pandemic Is Impacting Children And Families

Dear EarthTalk: Were frozen wind turbines the reason for Texas’ historic power outages recently? If so, how can we make renewables more reliable moving forward?

-- G. S., Hartford, CT

Wind power provides a small fraction of electricity in Texas; frozen natural gas lines caused the state's power grid to go down recently.

Credit: Athena, pexels.

As Winter Storm Uri wreaked havoc on the American Midwest this past February with bitter cold snow, entire power grids shut down and states like Texas faced a crisis like never before. Conservative politicians put the blame on renewable energy, particularly wind and solar. “Our wind and our solar got shut down, and they were collectively more than 10 percent of our power grid, and that thrust Texas into a situation where it was lacking power on a statewide basis," Governor Greg Abbot told Fox News.

Contrary to this argument, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) reports that renewable energy is responsible for less than a fraction of the state’s power supply—with wind power making up a mere seven percent of energy losses. While issues such as frozen wind turbines did contribute to the widespread power grid failures, wind turbines tend to generate less power in the winter anyway, leaving the chief culprit of the statewide power shortages to natural gas.

Natural gas provides more than a third of Texas’s power and heats over 40 percent of homes. The ERCOT reported that over 80 percent of the state’s total winter capacity is generated by natural gas, coal and nuclear power. Natural gas power plants don’t usually store fuel on site, and a lack of cold insulation because of the rarity of severe cold in Texas left most pipelines frozen and unable to maintain a continuous transferring of gas.

The ample evidence of fossil fuel energy failures behind Texas’ electricity crisis points to the broader issue of climate change denial and its devastating consequences. “It is an extreme weather problem, not a clean power problem. If anything, it shows why we need to be investing in building out more renewable energy sources with better transmission and storage to replace outdated systems," says Heather Zichal, CEO of the American Clean Power Association.

Regardless, everyone is in favor of making renewable energy more reliable as well. One short-term solution is to modify wind turbines with anti-icing methods to withstand extreme temperatures, which Texas grid operators have yet to invest in. In the long run, however, the nation needs to drastically decrease its reliance on fossil fuels in order to make renewable energy more reliable. In the case of wind energy, the inconsistent demand of wind power makes wind power output fluctuate and thus less reliable. As more wind power is added to a localized grid, wind energy output is more easily predicted, decreasing wind variability and increasing the efficiency, flexibility and reliability of the grid.

In the end, the disastrous level of under-preparation resulting in a cascade of failures in Texas highlights the nation’s dependence on fossil fuels and failure to build resilience by investing in a sustainable infrastructure. Though developing clean energy may come at a high cost, climate-linked disasters will only intensify and cause dangerous fallouts. Let’s hope that Winter Strom Uri can serve as the final wakeup call for our nation to begin a firm transition to renewable energy and fight for a habitable future.

(StatePoint) More than 2.7 million American children are growing up in grandfamilies -- families in which grandparents, other adult family members, or close family friends are raising children. A new report highlights how the pandemic has amplified their unique challenges, and offers solutions to better serve them.

The report, “Facing a Pandemic: Families Living Together During COVID-19 and Thriving Beyond” authored by the non-profit Generations United and funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Casey Family Programs, points out that at a time when older adults are being cautioned to keep their distance from children because of the heightened risk of infection and death from COVID-19, for grandfamilies, that distance is impossible. Advocates point out that these caregivers are the first line of defense for children during the pandemic, having stepped in when parents cannot raise them for many reasons, including cases where children’s parents have died from COVID-19. At the same time, 30 percent of kin caregivers lack an alternative caregiving plan if they should die or become disabled, a troubling statistic in the face of the pandemic, which disproportionately affects older adults.

While grandfamilies are diverse in geography, income and race, the report finds that caregivers in grandfamilies are disproportionally Black or Native American; nearly half of grandparent caregivers are over age 60; and one in four grandparent caregivers has a disability.

These are the same populations that are more likely to be impacted by the pandemic and die as a result.

“While we’re all impacted by COVID-19, grandfamilies, especially, have had tough realities, with limited support systems,” says Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United, a non-profit with the mission of improving the lives of children, youth and older people.

“State and local child welfare and other agencies must better support them during COVID-19 recovery and beyond.”

Federal, state and local governments recognize foster families and provide them with access to resources, but there is little available for grandfamilies raising children outside of foster care. While Congress included support for grandfamilies in the December 2020 COVID-19 relief package, including better access to kinship navigator programs, which help connect families to information and community support as well as provide some direct help to families to meet emergency needs, advocates say this is just a start.

“With so many families continuing to struggle with impacts from COVID-19, it’s critical that state and local child welfare agencies distribute the funds in this package,” says Butts.

“Congress also needs to ensure families have ongoing financial support so that caregivers can meet the basic needs of children as they live with the long-term impacts of COVID -19.”

The report also finds that about 19 percent of grandparents responsible for grandchildren live in poverty and 38 percent of grandfamilies are unable to pay or are worried about paying mortgage or rent. Among the solutions to these figures, Generations United is calling for grandfamilies to be specifically named in the next COVID-relief package as an eligible population for financial relief such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

To access the report, visit www. gu.org. To hear grandfamilies discuss the pandemic’s impacts, visit everyfamilyforward.org.

While the pandemic has heightened the inequities different types of families face, advocates say that sufficient support can help grandfamilies recover and thrive.

Arugula or Rocket -- Typically has long, spiked, dark green leaves and a strong, peppery flavor, especially when the leaves are larger and wild-harvested.

Cultivated arugula varies in intensity of flavor, so taste before using. Arugula adds a bold punch to salads or an intense note as an ingredient in hearty dishes.

Little Gem lettuce -- A mixture of soft leaves with a slight crunch, similar to butter lettuce in texture.

Mesclun -- A combination of tender, wild-harvested or cultivated young greens. Most mesclun varieties include greens with texture and peppery flavor such as curly endive, mezzaluna, mustard leaves, watercress, arugula, purslane, cress, Asian greens like mizuna, red kale and chicory, and a few herbs such as cilantro, basil or parsley.

Mache, Corn Salad or Lamb’s Lettuce -- Grows in a tight bunch of 4 or 5 leaves attached to a root. It has more flavor and texture than most salad greens, but requires more care when cleaning because grit and dirt tend to settle in the rosetteshaped leaves near the roots.

Dandelion -- Greens are a dark emerald color and are bitter.

They add a distinctive flavor component when added raw, but lose some of their sharpness when cooked low and slow.

Escarole -- Has a subtle bite, hearty texture and a longer growing season. During the spring months, escarole is sweeter and at its tender best.

Add it raw to provide complexity to a salad or as an interesting addition to cooked dishes in place of spinach.

Pea Greens -- These are the giant, tangled vines on which peas grow. Pea greens are typically available at farmers markets in spring and early summers.

Break out the salad bowl and try a variety of spring mix lettuce greens in nontraditional ways.

Wednesday - March 24, 2021

Volume 36 - Issue 34

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Consider moving beyond the usual methods to find a more creative means of handling a difficult on-the-job situation.

Avoid confrontation and, instead, aim for cooperation.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Seasonal change creates a new look for the outdoors. It also inspires Taureans to redo their own environments, and this is a good week to start redoing both your home and workplace. Enjoy.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding needs to be straightened out so the wrong impression isn't allowed to stand. If necessary, offer to support the use of a third party to act as an impartial arbitrator.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A career change offering what you want in money and responsibilities could involve moving to a new location.

Discuss this with family members before making a decision.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Feeling miffed over how you believe you were treated is understandable. But before you decide to "set things straight," make sure the whole thing wasn't just a misinterpretation of the facts.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Showing you care makes it easier to build trust and gain an advantage in handling a delicate situation. What you learn from this experience also will help you understand yourself better.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Planning for the future is fine, especially if you include the roles

that family members may be asked to play. Don't be surprised if some hidden emotions are revealed in the process.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Making choices highlights much of the week, and you have a head start here, thanks to your ability to grasp the facts of a situation and interpret them in a clear-cut manner.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Carrying a torch can be a two-way situation: It can either keep you tied to the past or help light your way to the future. The choice, as always, has to be yours.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your watchwords this week are: "Focus." "Focus."

"Focus." Don't let yourself be distracted from what you set out to do. There'll be time later to look over other possibilities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A workplace opportunity might require changes you're not keen on making. Discuss the plusses and minuses with someone familiar with the situation before you make a decision.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love and romance are strong in your aspect this week. If you've already met the right person, expect your relationship to grow.

And if you're still looking, odds are you'll soon be finding it.

BORN THIS WEEK: You approach life in a wise and measured manner, which gives you an edge in many areas.

5 Ways to Use Your Spring Break Wisely (StatePoint) With certain travel options difficult to execute this year, you may find yourself staying put for spring break. But you don’t need to idle away the time. Here are five ways to use the vacation wisely: 1. Volunteer. From delivering food to the homebound to organizing a park clean-up, there are many socially-distanced community service project ideas perfect for spring break. You can even volunteer from the safety of home, as many organizations around the globe are making it possible to lend a hand virtually.

2. Keep math skills sharp.

Whether you are preparing for AP Testing or simply want to hone your skills for the last few months of the academic year, use great tools like the fx9750GII Graphing Calculator from Casio. Beyond standard graphing calculator functionality, it allows you to take your learning to the next level with its advanced statistics functions, such as test, interval and distribution, and financial calculation functions.

Pair your studies with the webinars available on Casio’s YouTube channel.

3. Read a book for fun.

Demanding academic schedules can keep students occupied 24/7. Now is the time to finally crack open that novel on your bedside table.

4. Learn a musical instrument.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn an instrument, the downtime of spring break is a great time to give it a go. One way to fast-track your progress is with a keyboard designed to help novices get started, like the line of Casiotone keyboards, which feature built-in learning systems. And because they are portable, you can even enjoy spring weather and take the learning outdoors.

5. Get some sun: Go on a run.

Pack a picnic and enjoy it on the lawn. Take a short day trip to a state park. You don’t need to travel to spend your spring break under the sun.

Your spring break may not look like it did during previous years. However, there are plenty of ways to make the most of the time.

interest in food science. A love of cars can inspire the pursuit of automotive engineering.

Helping draw these connections will attract kids to pursue STEM by making it relevant to their hobbies.

3. Make science social. STEM exploration is inherently social.

It helps kids develop practical skills like communication, collaboration, and decisionmaking, all while fostering great friendships. Parents can get their kids engaged by enrolling them in science camps and encouraging them to join competitions.

4. Make science accessible and fun. You don’t need a lab to be a scientist – STEM is all around us, even at home!

Through youngscientistlab.com, kids can explore free resources offering science project ideas and directions for grades K-8. With experimentation and exploration, it’s simple to make scientific principles more relatable for young minds.

5. Expand your child’s world with STEM. STEM is not only found everywhere, but it’s also for everyone. Our new virtual normal makes it easy to connect with others to learn, share and problem solve – no matter where you live. STEM exploration also opens up opportunities for kids to learn about and work with peer groups from different backgrounds and cultures, offering an inclusive environment where success is achieved by working toward a shared goal.

One opportunity on the horizon is the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, held in partnership with Discovery Education, a premier national science competition for grades 5 through 8 that asks students to identify a problem impacting their school, community, or worldwide, and come up with a unique innovation to solve it. Young inventors have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work one-on-one with a 3M scientist, compete for $25,000, and earn the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist.”

Last year’s winner, Anika Chebrolu, 14, collaborated with nine other finalists to solve problems collectively in a series of fun, group challenges as part of the competition. Anika’s individual innovation used molecular research to show how science could reduce the invasion and spread of COVID-19 in the body.

Encourage your budding scientist to get involved and start exploring! To learn more about this year’s competition or to enter, visit www.youngscientistlab.com.

The next big invention or discovery could be anywhere.

Ignite that spark of passion for science and unleash your child’s curiosity.

Proposition 19, but also to county assessors and the state Board of Equalization. The speedy implementation date for Proposition 19’s changes to inter-generational transfers left assessors and BOE members scrambling to get answers to a long list of specific questions that the measure left unclear or ambiguous. SB 668 would temporarily enable a more orderly and equitable process for taxation of property that is passed to the next generation.

Longer term, the Prop. 58 parent-child transfer exclusion should be reinstated in its entirety.

Californians who are ready to join this fight should contact their state representatives— look them up at findyourrep. legislature.ca.gov—and urge them to restore Prop. 13 for our children.
