Memory of a warm Wisconsin Christmas

By Meg Kleeb When people ask me about the true meaning of Christmas, I think back to a Christmas Eve so many years ago in Wisconsin when I was growing up.

My father was a young lawyer then with three children and we all lived comfortably in a suburb of the city . We were never wanting for food, clothing or other necessities . We also had music lessons, two cars, a color TV and a mother who didn't work outside the home.

I remember my resentment when my father asked us to spend our Christmas Eve delivering a food basket to a needy Cuban family who had just arrived in Milwaukee.

The sanctuary for many immigrants in the past, Milwaukee, in the late SO's and early 60's, again became the haven for Cubans fleeing the Castro regime with only the shirts on their backs and hope of freedom in their hearts.

After arriving, they were denied welfare until they could prove six months of residency. They barely survived that time and probably would have starved to death

Christmas from behind the register

without the help of area churches and service clubs like the Kiwanis Club of which my father was a member.

The Kiwanis Club had matched our family with a Cuban family who had children the same age as ours, as well as two younger ones. My father handed me $3 and told me to buy a suitable gift for a girl my age.

I stomped out of the house after much complaining to look for an appropriate present. Surely, not a doll like I would have chosen for myself. I finally settled on a warm scarf and mittens; the kind my mother always forced me to wear .

I remember grumbling as we packed our car. The gifts, the basket of food (complete with turkey, cranberries and two pounds of butter) and three unhappy children. We stopped at a Christmas tree lot, purchased a half-price tree and loaded it into our station wagon.

Driving away from the suburb, we crossed the Milwaukee River to the East side of town . There rows of tenements, walls with assorted graffiti and battered garbage cans lined the street. It was a cement jungle

commentary

Opinion

By Rick Bell What does Christmas mean to me?

It means lots of good cheer, plenty of hot eggnog and a little champagne to add sparkle. But most of all Christmas to me means sheer terror.

I can just see all of our readership tossing this paper in the garbage after that last statement, muttering, "What kind of a sadist is this Bell guy anyway?"

Believe me, I'm not a pervert and I do not have a cruel, twisted mind . My reasoning behind stating that Christmas means sheer terror is basically sound and somewhat sane.

I work in one of the busiest malls in Escondido for one of the local record stores, and if you thought seeing "The Shining" was a hairy way to spend an evening, try working a night shift about four days before Christmas.

Armaggedon comes early to Escondido.

It's amazing to see the transformation of people from normal, mild-mannered human beings to let's-ravage-every-store Christmas shoppers. These half-crazed shoppers (especially the last-minute ones) swarm down on the store and expect to have the album they want at their fingertips .

"I want Carmen Miranda's Greatest Hits on 8-track ." Or some SO year old cowboy (Continued on page 7)

By Marilou Genereaux Christmas is a time to lay priorities aside, be impulsive, shoot down the budget and get caught up in a hectic pace.

Some people look at this side of Christmas as a malignancy to its true meaning. There is no doubt that certain practices and attitudes can bring disdain to this sacred season, but Christmas can also be an opportunity to let go of the day to day restraints.

School, work, family and other commitments take second and third place to shopping, baking, writing letters to send with Christmas cards, decorating the house and visiting.

Throughout the year one feels compelled to meet the many demands placed on us.

Priorities are thought out in advance and balanced with unexpected obligations. This leaves little time for old friends who might not be as close as they once were, or for family members not living nearby.

The Christmas season legitimately allows us to catch up . Delinquency of duty can be excused with, "I didn't have time with all the (Continued on page 7)

A tribute to a legend Dear readers, fans and human beings, I can remember quite vividly November of 1963 and April of 1968. These dates signify the deaths of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. What I remember most about those times is the empty feeling that ran through my body.

This feeling entered me once again the past week. Monday night, the 8th of December, at about 8:4S p.m. while watching Monday Night Football the announcement was made of the death of John Winston Lennon. It's :another night I'll not soon forget.

John Lennon was a great human being who always spoke his mind and defended what he believed was right . A man of real character and greatness. A chosen person, if you will. Why is it that all the chosen ones disappear so quickly from the face of the earth?

Peace within brings joy

"I don't enjoy Christmas these days because it is getting too commercial." Sound familiar? We hear it more and more every year.

Tainting religious seasons and sanctuaries with commercialism is not new. Even Jesus had to turn the tables on commercialism in the temple. What would he say of today's use of the house of the Lord for bingo, bazaars and smoke-filled card parties? " But we are raising money for the church!" they say. It is still using the premises for " the money (ex)changers" and consumes an enormous amount of physical effort and busy-work throughout the year.

What is the answer?

If e,ach of us were to " enter into (his) closet, " that quiet place where we search our soul and listen to God, we could reach back in time to that scene of the first Christmas, when a new idea was born to all mankind.

Into a world beset by national and international turmoil was born the bright hope of all mankind . The Messiah, promised deliverer, came not to erase, as if with a magic wand, all our problems, but to teach us how to uncover the seeds of hatred in our hearts which cause the problems, how to overcome them, how to live in peace, how to " heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons. " He gave us very positive instructions: "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do ... " Every faith has its own beginnings to which to refer. Invariably they were born in the midst of turmoil and gave hope to the desolate for centuries to come.

That hope was lodged within the heart of each individual. That small flame grew to warm future generations through their own periods of national turbulence and nature's catastrophes, as well as day to day problems .

Stripped of all commercialism of today or those centuries past, what does the holiday season mean? Every faith has set its guidelines by which its followers should live.

They may stray at times but the rules remain as guide and counsel. If we renew our vows at this season to love God and keep His commandments, follow Jesus' teachings to love our neighbors throughout the world as ourselves, to help the poor, we shall reflect the joy which comes from this peace within .

If you had to go on an errand of great importance on a foggy night, you would I believe these men live on and their spirits have two choices: Let the fog take over and will continue to guide us . We must not keep you from seeing your duty fulfilled, or mourn the death of John Lennon but rejoice you could start out with but one purpose in at his life and accomplishments . He has mind . The fog could not possibly stop you, brought us to this point and now we must nor even interfere, if you were determined to do what was right . carry on, using all he has given us.

Commercialism at holiday time is like the One song that will always stick out in my fog; it cannot deter you in any way if you are mind and allow me to see John Lennon as I determined to observe the season in the remember him is "Imagine." spirit of holiness . Your gift on the birthday of the Christ child can be a renewed effort to Imagine no possessions carry out his instructions, the purpose for I wonder if you can ¡which he sojourned with us . Only then can No need for greed or hunger he exist in our hearts.

A brotherhood of man We will carry with us the true spirit of the Imagine all the people first Christmas and rise far above any sense sharing all the world . . . of commercialism and gaudy worldliness. It You may say I'm a dreamer may still be there for i:hose who have not yet But I'm not the only one found the way, but it need not touch those I hope someday you'll join us and who have the guiding light of their own And the world will be as one . ..

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A warm feeling flowed through that home as we brought in the tree. Mama had intended to buy one that night as the family's only gift . Now she could save that money for other essentials .

After 30 minutes, we left their apartment and drove away . A dead silence hung over the car, not quite typical of children eager to open Christmas presents . The episode had made quite an impression on all five of us.

Later, we opened our gifts but somehow couldn't match the enthusiasm of our Cuban acquaintances. The most important gift had already been given .

Thinking back to that cold night so long ago, so far away, I can still remember my childish feelings and begin to understand the true meaning of Christmas.

By Doris Garlick

Season's Greetings

Christmasawe/come reprieve

lacking the trees I loved to climb in my neighborhood.

As we stumbled through the dark, I thought of the houseful of presents under our tree, the ones we could open after we finished this dreadful chore. As we approached the apartment, a scrawny rat scurried across our path . A knock at the door brought mama, papa, and all the children to meet us.

Mama clasped her hands in joy when she saw the basket of food they so badly needed .

She ushered us inside. I remember wondering why it was so cold inside . A quick glance around the room revealed tattered curtains, an old beaten-up couch, one bare lightbulb hanging above and a single picture of Jesus on the wall .

A feeling of guilt swept over me. They had nothing, not even a tree! We brought out the gifts for the children and they quickly tore open the boxes. The girl my age, Maria, smiled when she saw the scarf and mittens . I couldn't quite understand her delight, but watched intensely as she put them over her reddened hands.

'He's touched each of his students' Teach ing is what he likes best- next to swimming that is . As a former member of the Venezuelan National Swim Team and recipient of numerous international medals a nd trophies Alberto Hurtado h as already proven himself in the aquatic domain. Now h e's on his way to becoming a fine teacher.

Hurtado, or Pancho as his friends affectionately call him , is in his third semester at Palomar majoring in physical education . He received a full four year scholarship from Venezuela and will transfer to San Diego State after completing his Associate of Arts degree here . Hurtado has been an honor roll student since his arrival.

In addition to taking 16 units Hurtado started working as a pool aide this semester under the guidance of program coordinator Tracy Jeffery . "He is a h ard worker and works well on a one-to-one basis with the students. He knows how to handle responsibi li ty too," commented Jeffery .

Says Hurtado, " I feel I am learning a great deal about teaching swimming to the h andicapped. They have pure honest fee ling which I respect a great deal."

Hurtado is a disciplined athlete. He does not let a sing le day go by with out a complete workout which includes a minimum of 400 sit-ups and push-ups, jogging and bar exercises . He also surfs and rides his bicycle almost everyday . Recently he started to learn how to kick-box and will compete on an amateur level next month in San Diego .

People who don't know Hurtado might get the wrong first impression says friend Rhonda Wakefield : "Because of the way he dresses some peop le think h e's stuck up or macho, but he's nothing like that. He has touched every one of his students ."

Roommate Jesus Hernandez agrees, " He's really a very sensitive person and a good friend . He always likes to help me out. It's almost like we're brothers ."

Hurtado feels that Palomar has given him much more than an education. He has formed many friendships and found an enormous affection here.

Hurtado's attitude toward life as well as teaching is perhaps the key to his success, "You have to get involved, love a great deal, and most importantly, care."

Armstead helps children in Share tutorial program

By R1chard Schatzman Would you like to share some time with a child as a tutor?

Tutorial programs are available through the "Share" office at S-5 or call extension 303 .

Albie Armstead , director of the program , took over the program six years ago. At the time it was not part of Palomar's curriculum and wasn't worth any credits. The number of students didn 't exceed fivP. .

"Today we have almost 200 students enrolled in the program .

We work with 25 schools in the Palomar College district," said Ms. Armstead .

Most of the students come from Palomar's psychology , police law enforcement, child development, bilingual education and nursing programs. "Through Share, the students can come in contact with the pediatric side of their program.

They can learn how kids interact."

The ages of the children range from grammar school, junior high, to high school (on request). " We also tutor handicapped through our special education program . All tutoring usually takes place at school , or after class, at the convenience of tutee and tutor. " Ms. Armstead advises her tutoring staff, and Palom路ar students in general, not to worry about how much time it takes to make a successful and worthwhile career .

"When you give only part of yourself, it's impossible that any program will blossom to its maximum. It's like a flower which must

be nourished daily. In your leisure you'll have the pleasure of seeing it develop."

Born in Nicaragua , Ms. Armstead holds a BA degree in Education and an MAin Child Psychology and has been in this country since 1972.

She knows the fruits of hard work.

She is now in the process of going to UCLA for a degree in international management and trade .

She sees the Share program as a foot in the educa6onal and job market door. "Some of our previous tutors have been hired by the school system in the capacity of teachers aides, which makes me very proud."

She thinks potential exposure to the school system a nd the psychological behavior of the children can also be beneficial to the tutors .

"You also see if you really want a profession dealing with children after two semesters of tutoring."

She contends that the track record of the children who have been tutored is 100 percent passing._There have been no failures yet. "It is a beautiful feeling to see a child who was failing with an For D, to start pulling an A or B. once a tutor is sent. " She thinks the secret ingredient is personal attention . " It is not exactly a matter of training. They n eed somebody to trust. a "big brother " image to fill the gap."

There are tutors now proficient in tutoring children of Vietnamese, Korean , Arab. African , American Indian , Mexican and AngloAmerican descent. Th e program is cross-listed with the Afro-American studies, and a lso Chicano Studies and Bilingual Educati on .

When I tell him, "No, sorry," I th ank God that he didn't pull the revolver out of his holster and gun me down.

Then th ere's the frantic mother who pulls out h er son's list that must h ave at least 25 different titles on it.

At th e top of the list, I see he wants DEVO on a Japanese import. The second is J udas Priest on a halfspeed master disc. "They're not for me," sh e sneers, and waits impatien tly for 45 minutes while I scour the entire store with her list.

As I fi nd her son's last album, which is AC/ DC's Christmas Record, she inexpli cably shoves the other 24 records in my face and stomps off in a rage, shouting something about

hard rock and Christmas don't mix.

The first few weeks of the holiday season really isn't too bad. Well, let's say it's tolerable. But that last week and a half makes me want to pound my head on walls and spit fire everywhere. It's impossible to leave that type of work at the office.

After working one season at the Mission Va ll ey shopping center, which is the ul timate in self-torture, all I could say for a month was, "Will that be all?" and "Thank you." I swore up and down I'd never again work retail at Christmastime. Obviously I was wrong. I must be a 'glutton for punishment.

Christmas: a welcome reprieve (Continued from page 3)

While sit6ng down to write Christmas card s an d letters one is reminded of all th e good thin gs th at h ave h appened over the past year. Th e desire to talk with these loved ones in person may yield to th e temptation of a long distance call. "It's an inexpensive Christmas gift," is the justification.

the next day's preparations have been completed .

There is quiet. now, after a month plus of rush . The lights on the tree are burning and peace has permeated th e room. Sitting there soaking in the welcome stillness, there is an awareness that all the provisions that have been made are only possible because of being loved and giving love in return. All the busyness has been a joy because of a full life of which loving and serving are its expression.

God has given us Christmas to illustrate that reaching out is an essential part oflove. He sent his son Jesus, wh o said in John 10:10, "I am . come that they might have life, and 路 that they might. have it more abundantly."

Late Christmas eve is a special time. Presents are finally wrapped a nd under the tree. Everyone in the family has gone to bed. The finis hing touches on the house and

Welcome this Christmas as an opportunity to express love and be a partaker of a more abundant life.

Let's welcome this reprieve from the forced habit of organization.

Let's also welcom e the chance to renew relationships; to bake cookies and bread and make candy to share with others; or just drop by an old friend's house for a cup of coffee and a moment of friendship.

Student dies in accident William A. Campos, 20, died recently in an auto accident in Encinitas.

A photography student at Palomar, William was a 1978 graduate of San Dieguito High School.

Campos is survived by his mother, Frances Campos of Encinitas; his father, Antonio Campos of San Diego; and two brothers, Frank and Antonio Jr., both of Encinitas.

libraries are for books, exclusively. Right? Wrong. libraries are for learning and this learning process may take many forms. librarians are noted for their ability to arrange attractive displays to tickle one's imagination and encourage a desire to seek out something new and refreshing.

Then there is the museum quality where in libraries carefully preserve and display items which help us to appreciate treasures of our past.

This completes the cycle, giving us a sense of wholeness with which to face the future and provide for oncoming genera6ons.

Whether one has some free time between classes or needs a good stretch after concentrated study time, a tour of the displays in the campus library can be very rewarding and time well-spent.

In the Research room , one wall is covered with draperies. If they are closed the attendant will open them upon request. Here is a fascinating display, the James B. Dixon Ornithological Collection which has been donated to Palomar. There are eggs and nests of272 ofthe 279 birds 路vhich nest in California.

This collection , started in 1926, is regarded as one of the outstandin g private collections in the United Sta tes. Th e eggs are displayed behind tall panels of glass windows in a ctua l n ests. from the tiny h ummingbirds to the sandhill cr ane. The n ests are truly a study of "architecture" in th emselves.

A large gourd has been cut away to show a nest inside. Sections of tree trunks with several small round openings have been cut away at th e side, so one can observe how a next is constructed down inside the tree.

There are ground nests as well as those nestled in br anches.

Viewing thi s display gives one a deeper respect for the abilities of birds. They don't let government restrictions, hi gh interest rates and escalating prices prevent them from enjoying a cozy home and family .

They contin ue in the same traditions of the m any generations before them, regardless of world or neighborhood con ditions.

One turns from the display thoughtfull y contemplating th is constan cy, this steadfast sense of security. Once aga in the library has fulfilled its pur pose.

Skills-training program offered Many are called on to play the pa rt of counselor, teache r a nd philosopher in the course of our daily lives. Few, however, h a ve been exposed to a program of skillstraining in these areas.
