Volume 49 - No. 03

By Friedrich Gomez

At precisely 2:42 p.m. on Monday, March 30, 1981, all television programming was abruptly interrupted with an emergency newscast: “PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN HAS BEEN SHOT IN AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT!!”

All major American television networks began airing shocking footage of the assassination attempt. Global news would The Paper - 760.747.7119

soon follow. It seemed a surreal moment in time when the world stood still. Shockwaves stunned the nervous system of millions of Americans everywhere as they quickly gathered around television sets in homes and even at shopping centers.

Only 68 days into his presidency, Ronald Reagan and three others were shot and wounded

by John Hinckley, Jr. in Washington, D. C., as they were leaving a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton

Hotel. Reagan had just delivered a luncheon address to AFL-CIO representatives.

UNKNOWN FACTS & FAULTY SECURITY. As with any such occasion, the White House Secret Service took every precaution they deemed necessary to safeguard the president. As one of the highest trained security forces in the world, they would leave no stone unturned in creating an impenetrable shield of safety for the leader of the Western World.

Or so they thought.

At the conclusion of his speech, at approximately 1:45 p.m., the president and his entourage began exiting the hotel from what the Secret Service considered the safest, most secured, enclosed passageway called “The President’s Walk,” which was built after the 1961 assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Normally, the Secret Service would have required the presi-

dent to wear a bullet proof vest underneath his suit that day, but they calculated that his only public exposure after the speech would be a brief window of time.

The White House Secret Security Force had made their precautionary logistics with great scrutiny.

According to their plan, upon exiting “The President’s Walk” and first exposing himself to open daylight, this would physically place Reagan only a short 40-feet between the hotel and his limousine.

Despite all these precautions, the Secret Service safety guidelines would, in reality, become flawed and, as a consequence, almost prove fatal to Reagan and his associates.

President Reagan began waving to a crowd of news media and to excited citizens. Unknown to everyone, a 25-year-old John Hinckley, Jr. waited within the crowd of admirers. He had travelled almost 1,700-miles from Evergreen, Colorado to

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

You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel.

By California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered "mentally unstable.”

But in Michigan, he'd be called "the last white guy still living in Detroit.”

In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector.”

In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector.”

In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably

where he now stood; a shortbarreled .22-caliber revolver in his possession, for which he had paid $47.95. The handgun had entered the country through a loophole in the Federal Gun Control Act after the 1968 assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Unknown to all -- and certainly through no fault of anyone -Hinckley’s presence was a most dangerous precursor. He had previously trailed President Jimmy Carter from state-tostate with the intent to assassinate him. Since his plan to kill Carter by gunfire did not materialize, there was not even a vapor trail as to his motivation, nor to his deadly presence as President Reagan emerged into the open air. (Hinckley had written to film star, Jodie Foster, just before his attempt on Reagan’s life, stating in part: “The reason I’m going ahead with this attempt now is because I cannot wait any longer to impress you. – John Hinckley, Jr.”)

These facts were not known at the time to Reagan’s Secret Service. reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food.

In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend.”

In Wyoming or Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy.”

In Idaho, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate.”

In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor.”

In North Carolina, Virginia, WV, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama, Iowa,

The Secret Service agents had extensively screened those attending the president’s speech and scrutinized the nearest distance of any public gathering – once he was outside -- to be no closer than 30-feet to any member of the public which had gathered outside. And even this close distance would be for only a very brief moment in time.

A COLOSSAL MISTAKE. This “safe distance” also proved to be what would later be called, even by the White House security staff itself: “A colossal mistake,” along with the faulty assessment of the U. S. President not needing a bullet proof vest (which he would normally wear under such circumstances).

As several hundred people applauded Reagan, reporters standing behind a rope barricade . . . were now within 20feet away from the president with no intervention. While reporters tossed out questions to the president, public excitement mounted and the crowd slowly began to move like a glacier, even closer. Security network now was allowing an unscreened group of people to be standing within 15-feet of

Minnesota, and Louisiana, he would be called "a deer huntin' buddy.”

In Hawaii, New York, Illinois, and New Jersey, he would be called a terrorist.

AND OF COURSE In Texas, he'd just be "Bubba; who's a little short on Ammo.”

President Reagan. As Mike Putzel, of the Associated Press, shouted “MR. PRESIDENT!!” to get his attention, Reagan unexpectedly passed right in front of Hinckley. Knowing that he would never get a better chance, Hinckley’s fingers tightened around his Rohm RG-14 .22-caliber blue steel revolver – and quickly fired 6 times in a span of only 1.7 seconds!

Miraculously, every shot missed the president, except one.

The first bullet hit White House Press Secretary James Brady in the head and the second hit the District of Columbia police officer Thomas Delahanty in the back of his neck as he turned to protect Reagan.

In that brief span of 1.7 seconds in the spray of deadly gunfire, all frenzied activity and panic seemed suspended and condensed in time. Sliced between micro-seconds, in that fleeting moment when officer Delahanty turned to protect Reagan, Hinckley now had another clear shot at the president.

Hinckley fired but the third bullet overshot Reagan and hit the window of a building across the street.

Special Agent in Charge, Jerry Parr, quickly pushed Reagan into the limousine as Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy placed himself in the direct line-of-fire and spread his body, completely shielding Reagan, and making himself a substitute target. Valiantly trained to lay down their own lives to protect our Commander-In-Chief at all costs, Special Agent McCarthy’s human shield paid the price.

The brave agent would be struck in the abdomen by the 4th bullet.

The 5th bullet hit the bulletresistant glass of the limousine window.

The 6th and final bullet ricocheted off the armored side of the limousine and hit the president in the left underarm, grazing a rib and lodging in his lung – causing the lung to partially collapse. The bullet finally stopping less than one-inch

from Reagan’s heart. One more inch and he would have died at the scene.

Reagan’s bullet proof vest would have prevented this – had he been wearing it.

Everything seemed to have happened in a blur; and now everything suddenly exploded into open-daylight confusion and loud uncontrolled public panic!

Not knowing the extent of the assassination attempt nor if the shooting was by a lone gunman or a potential group attack, Secret Service Agent Robert Wanko relied on pure training instincts as he automatically reached for his briefcase and quickly took out a fully-loaded, deadly Uzi submachine gun.

(Robert Wanko would be misidentified as “Steve Wanko” in a news report.)

On every front, heroics went off the chart. Special Agent-InCharge, Jerry Paar’s prompt action of pushing the president into the limousine saved Reagan from being shot in the head.

Special Agent Tim McCarthy’s subsequent and sacrificial bodycovering of Reagan also proved

critical and revealed the astonishing level of unshakable commitment and towering loyalty of these magnificent men during the height of tragedy.

Despite the confusion and public panic, within 2 seconds, Agent Dennis McCarthy (no relation to Agent Timothy McCarthy) dove onto Hinckley as others threw him to the ground.

In retrospect, the unfolding of these tragic events might have been far worse. In just 16 minutes, agents discovered a grisly fact. Hinckley’s handgun was purchased at Rocky’s Pawn Shop in Dallas, TX. The bullets Hinckley loaded into his gun’s chambers that day were no ordinary .22 caliber rounds.

His gun was loaded with 6 “Devastator” charges, each bullet designed to explode and rip apart on contact. The bullet which hit Brady was the only one that exploded.

Miraculously, none of the other bullets exploded on impact.

Later, when it was learned that the other bullets could explode at any time, emergency volunteer doctors wearing bullet-

BROADCAST NEWS CONFUSION. Adding to the confusion and emotional turmoil of what just transpired on the world stage, was that all three networks erroneously reported that the president’s White House Press Secretary, James Brady, had died from the shooting.

This confused and inaccurate reporting caused great emotional trauma not only with James Brady’s immediate family members, but it caused great calamity among close personal friends, many of whom were reporting the incident ‘live’ on television.

The wrongful reporting of Brady’s death visibly stunned ABC news anchorman, Frank Reynolds, extremely hard, since he was a very close, personal friend of James Brady.

The Paper • Page 4 • January 17, 2019 New Mayor and Council in Escondido Consider Relocating $44 million Water Plant

“It’s the wrong location,” said newly elected Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara of the site at the intersection of Washington and Ash, in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

The decision of the former Mayor and city council was a controversial one at the time. ”I’m seriously considering moving it. It’s in the middle of a neighborhood. It’s not the right location. It never was. I totally get it. It might cost us a few more bucks, but in the long term, it’s better to have it where it needs to be.”

The siting of the Membrane Filtration Reverse Osmosis Facility has been a source of controversy since 2016.

The plant is needed to desalinate recycled water so it can then be piped to outlying parts of the city where it can be used for agricultural irrigation. The recycled system is crucial because it will take water that today is being dumped into a pipe that eventually leads to the ocean -- a pipe that is nearing its capacity. Without the recycled water system, the city could find itself in the position of having to replace the outfall pipe at a cost of a billion dollars or more.

The majority of the council is not opposed to the recycled water plan, just to the location of the plant.

The council will have discussed rescinding the approval at its meeting

last night (Wednesday.)

He said the Washington and Ash site is already owned by the city, saving Escondido millions. He said about $1 million has been spent to develop plans for the currently proposed site, money that “would also be partially lost because not all plans can be readily transferred to a new site.”

The initial site for the plant was not at Washington and Ash but instead on city-owned property further east along Washington Avenue near where it intersects with El Norte Parkway. That location met with huge resistance from the surrounding community. Homes surrounded the property and the council decided to find another spot in mid2016.

Late that same year, the Washington and Ash location was approved by the city’s Planning Commission but the decision was appealed to the council by the Springs of Escondido residential development — a neighbor of the project site and Councilwoman Olga Diaz.

In January 2017, the council voted 4-1 to place the plant at the Washington and Ash location, with Diaz and dozens of members of the surrounding community vociferously expressing their objection.

McNamara said developing a riverwalk concept on the site would make far more financial sense in the long run and could revitalize that part of the city.

records, during commercial breaks. He could speak eloquently on a number of given subjects . . . great sense of humor. Quick witted. But Mac had a troubled history.

Man About Town

As I look back at an over 25 year career in radio broadcasting my mind focuses on two of the most talented guys I ever worked with ... Hudson and Bauer.

Mac Hudson and Joe Bauer (real name Rosenthal) were the morning show at KFMB for many years. I joined them during their morning show as I presented the area traffic reports from KFMB Traffic Control.

On one occasion he had taken his kids to an amusement park in San Diego. When he returned home he found his wife had committed suicide by hanging herself.

After I left KFMB in the late 1980's I learned that Mac had a long standing addiction to cocaine. KFMB had sent him, at their expense, to several rehab facilities to try and beat the addiction. Never worked.

Mac has since passed away.

Joe Bauer (I never did understand why he changed his name from Rosenthal to Bauer) was also a brilliant mind. In my 25 years in radio I never met anyone I admired and loved more than Joe Bauer. He had a lovely family - wife, Cindy, and several A fascinating combination, daughters.

Mac and Joe. Mac was a Mensa guy - really high IQ. Joe had originally studied for He'd work New York Times the priesthood - then got into crossword puzzles between radio. I remember telling him

Applicants Sought for Vacant San Marcos City Council Seat

The city has until Feb. 9 to appoint a new council member or call for a special election

On Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 6 pm, the City of San Marcos will hold a special public meeting at City Hall, 1 Civic Center Drive, to interview 24 candidates to fill a vacant seat created after Council Member Rebecca Jones was elected Mayor during the November 2018 election.

The term of the vacant, at-large council seat is from the date of appointment to December 2020.

The qualified applicants must be at least 18 years of age, reside within the San Marcos city limits and be registered to vote in the City of San Marcos at the time the application is received.

Each candidate will have the opportunity to introduce themselves and answer questions from the council. At the end of the interview process, the council will discuss the candidates’ qualifications and make a decision.

Should the council be unable to make a decision, the discussion will continue to the regularly scheduled public meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22. The city has until Saturday, Feb. 9 to appoint a new council member or call for a special election.

If the council selects a candidate for an appointment Tuesday, the new council member will be sworn in during that meeting.

one day, "Joe, I'm not Catholic but I have to say that the Church lost a great priest when you left the seminary."

"Well," he said, "but if I hadn't I wouldn't have met Cindy and had my kids."

"Didn't say you shouldn't have done it, Joe. I just said the Church lost a great priest when you left. You're a very special person."

I don't think I ever saw Joe lose his temper or blow up something that happens fairly often to broadcast talent.

Radio has its share of prima donnas. Not Joe. He was as down to earth as you could ever imagine.

Tragedy also struck Joe. His wife, Cindy, died on the operating table during a surgical procedure. It shattered Joe when it happened, as it did his daughters.

Joe did survive that tragedy, left KFMB for a brief stint in local tv (San Diego) but it didn't really work out.

Some of the sufferers mentioned surprised me, Norman Rockwell, and others broke my heart when I first learned of their suffering. Such a loss of talent. However, nothing comes close as having loved ones dying with dementia. I saw my father and grandmother succumb to the disease. The physical and emotional toil it takes on the families is beyond description. I pray for the end of this disease.

ideas, jokes, anecdotes simply flowed endlessly. Joe's characters, "Mother Butterbreast," and "Colonel KUFMUB," (his characterization of Paul Palmer, General Manger of KFMB) were hilarious.

The thing was, though, the 'magic' was only there when Mac and Joe were on the air together. On those days when either Mac or Joe came down with the flu, or bad cold, and stayed home . . . the on air presence was just that of another dee jay - the magic was missing and the show was not all that interesting.

Fortunately, Joe met another lady, a pyschologist, I believe.

They married and now live in Utah. I believe Joe is no longer in radio.

When further updated news rolled in and Reynolds was later forced to retract the report, he angrily said on-air to his staff: “C’MON, LET’S GET IT NAILED DOWN!!”

Although Brady survived, the wound he suffered to his head left him with a slurred speech and partial paralysis that required the full-time use of a wheelchair. Brady’s neurosurgeon, Dr. Arthur Kobrine, described Brady as having difficulty controlling his emotions while talking about the shooting: “He would kind of cry-talk for a while.” The aftermath would affect his memory and thinking, such as failing to recognize people.

When James Scott Brady died on August 4, 2014, his death was ruled a homicide, caused by the gunshot wound he received 33 years earlier.

Reagan was shot in the chest just below the left underarm.

He had suffered a punctured lung resulting in heavy internal bleeding. At precisely 2:27 p. m. as the shooting unfolded,

Kudos for Alzheimer’s Article

Enjoyed the article on those who passed from Dementia/ALZ. Here is one more to add to the list.

Gene Wilder died at the age of 83 on August 29, 2016, at home in Stamford, Connecticut, from complications of Alzheimer's disease.

He had kept knowledge of his condition private, but had been diagnosed three years prior to his death. Wilder's nephew, Jordan Walker-Pearlman, said that this was so as not to sadden fans of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, stating: The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn't vanity, but more so than the countless young children that would smile or call out to him 'there's Willy Wonka,' would not have to be then exposed to an adult referenc-

Secret Service agents announced “SHOTS FIRED!!” over their personal radio network. Reagan’s past Hollywood connection to western movies had him code-named “Rawhide.” His presidential limousine was code-named “Stagecoach” and the White House was “Crown.”

Top secret dialogue, encrypted in secret code words to hide their true meaning, transpired quickly around the White House security inner network.

At first, no one knew that President Reagan had been hit by gunfire as the Secret Service radio code words crackled in rapid-fired, electric dispatches: “RAWHIDE IS OK!! WE’RE ON STAGECOACH EN ROUTE TO CROWN!” Senior Special Agent, Jerry Paar, after learning of Reagan’s condition in the limousine, ordered the motorcade be diverted to nearby George Washington University Hospital. The re-routed limousine arrived at the hospital less than 4 minutes after leaving the hotel. “Rainbow” (code name for First Lady Nancy Reagan) had left the White House and heading for the hospital.

I think Scruff kind of looked upon me as a father figure. In spite of this, we wound up playing an unusual game of 'tag.'

Upon arrival at the hospital, Reagan insisted on exiting the limousine on his own power.

Unknown internal damage was still ravaging and taking its toll.

Once inside the hospital he complained of breathing difficulty. Still unassisted, he took one more step and his knees buckled, finally going down on one knee. Reagan’s personal Physician to the President, Dr. Daniel Ruge, believed he was having a heart attack. His physician and others quickly took him to Emergency.

When a hospital employee first asked Reagan aide Michael Deaver for the patient’s name and address, Deaver’s answer shocked the receptionist: “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” At that moment, the hospital employee realized the President of the United States was in the emergency department!

At the hospital, personnel scrambled to stabilize the president. The president’s blood pressure was now at a dangerous level of 60 versus the normal 140, indicating that he was in a state of shock.

After stepping around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into H&J Leather & Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter.

Upon seeing the officer, the wouldbe robber announced a hold-up and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics.

Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds.

Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt.

REAGAN’S SECRET WEAPON. Despite this dismal situation and even though in a state of shock, the president revealed an astonishing perseverance of humor to pull him through. This powerful will-tolive predicated on humor is still an “uncharted” area of medicine that can be the determining factor in a life-or-death situation. When wife Nancy Reagan arrived in the emergency room President Reagan remarked to her, “Honey, I forgot to duck,” borrowing a humorous line from heavyweight boxer Jack Dempsey after losing to Gene Tunney.

This whimsical detour for comic relief was not “uncharted waters” for the president – he knew precisely what he was doing.

Reagan was well aware that humor in the face of disaster was not just a way of putting people around him at ease – he was well aware of humor being an actual healing agent for both body and mind; and against the

RUNNER UP

Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local bridge in the middle of traffic.

The conversation grew more excited, and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge, they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay nearby. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and then tied the other to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.

AND THE WINNER IS

Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs, and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief. Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded.

ravages of physical as well as emotional trauma.

According to Dr. Stephen R. Bowers, writing for the Selous Foundation’s Public Policy Research, Reagan long used humor as a healing device throughout his life; he knew and benefited from it – and it worked for him. As Dr. Bowers further explains: “Some longtime Reagan associates have suggested that his ability to joke about the most difficult of situations was a lifelong coping mechanism for dealing with stress. As the child of an alcoholic father, Reagan learned this early on.

Throughout his career, Reagan employed a wide variety of humorous devices.”

To Reagan’s thinking, detouring onto the path of humor during tragedy was a way of giving himself a vaccination shot for quicker healing. As Dr. Bowers explains: “In a 2014 interview, comedian Drew Carey noted that Reagan used humor as a key to ‘self-inoculation.’”

HIS “VELVET WEAPON” ACCOMPANIED REAGAN INTO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. John Meyer, writing for the Journal Communications Studies, speaks of President Reagan’s use of humor as a “Velvet Weapon,” describing it, in part, as a “relief theory, involving emotional release of tension.”

Reagan would take his velvet weapon with him, into the critical confines of the Emergency Room at George Washington University Hospital where he exhibited great pain and coughed-up bright, frothy blood. Despite the drama and pain, Reagan only tightened his reins around the ‘humorweapon device’ which had never failed to console him since his traumatic childhood.

While surrounded by the emergency surgical team frantically attending him, monitoring his vital signs, Reagan scribbled a funny note to release mounting tension in the operating room: “Send me to L. A., where I can see the air I’m breathing!”

Reading the president’s note aloud, doctors and nurses laughed at the president’s remarkable wit during these tense moments. They now became more relaxed, less

tense, and better focused.

The emergency team, led by Dr. Joseph Giordano, proceeded to quickly cut-off Reagan’s thousand-dollar custom-made suit to better examine him.

This shredding of his favorite suit greatly agitated Reagan at the time, but he fought-back the temptation for anger. The president once again resorted to his weapon-of-choice since childhood – his sense of humor -- which never failed to comfort and deliver him from the clutches of further trauma.

Again, it worked like a charm.

In a hastily-scribbled note, Reagan resorted to humor to release his own mounting anxiety, this time quoting Winston Churchill: “There’s no more exhilarating feeling than being shot-at without result!” The assemblage of medical experts laughed and, again, breathed a sigh of relief.

The medical team would later go on record as being astounded at the president’s use of humor during his most critical life-and-death struggle. The tenacity of President Reagan to hold onto humor when he was intubated (tube inserted into his body) continued to surprise those attending him. Though still in a medical state of shock and in great pain, the president refused to refrain from humor.

Still cognizant of the hustleand-bustle of medical personnel about him he would further quip in a handwritten note to them: “If I had this much attention in Hollywood, I’d have stayed there!”

At one point, the president even scribbled a note to a nurse, “All in all, I’d rather be in Philadelphia,” borrowing another comedic line, this time from W. C. Fields.

Reagan’s heroic persistence at cracking jokes was his planned attack against impending doom, and he knew precisely what he was doing.

Dr. Benjamin L. Aaron, chief of thoracic surgery knew the lifestrengthening benefit of humor during a crisis and was well aware of its miraculous healing and strengthening powers. Dr. Aaron decided to perform a thoracotomy (placing an incision into the president’s chest) lasting 105 minutes because the

Split Roll?

As most of you know, Proposition 13 limits annual property tax increases to a maximum of 2% each year and continues to save California homeowners money ever since it was overwhelmingly passed by voters in 1978.

Unfortunately, proposals to weaken Prop. 13 protections are on the table this year. Under the ‘split roll’ proposal, Prop. 13 would remain in place for homeowners, but would be eliminated for many commercial properties; allowing their property taxes to increase beyond the 2% cap annually based on inflating market values.

In reality, it won’t be just business owners who are forced to pay. Even if ‘small businesses’ are supposedly exempt, the large corporations that own commercial buildings that house local shops, factories, stores and restaurants probably won’t be.

Any property tax increase would be passed onto the leaseholder through rent increases, and then to consumers through higher costs for products and services – in other words – to all of us.

California gas, sales, income and business taxes are already among the nation’s highest, while our

I've even had the place fumigated, and they won't go away."

property tax rates are somewhere in the middle. With a $15 billion state surplus, do we really need to pick the pockets of consumers and small businesses?

Looking for an affordable apartment? Good luck. Split roll will encourage cities to OK commercial developments over lower taxed housing developments. Just starting out in life and looking for a good job? Good luck with that too. Split roll will increase business operating costs and drive more businesses and jobs out of California. Split roll will harm entrepreneurs, consumers, employees, employers – in short – EVERYBODY!!

Rest assured, along with the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and other taxpayer advocacy groups, I will continue to fight for Prop. 13 to protect the pocketbooks of all Californians.

"Oh no," said Brother Andrew.

"These words have always been correctly copied from generation to generation." Skeptical, Brother Jonathan asked Brother Andrew how he knew. "My son," said Brother Andrew as he shuffled off toward the monastery's library, "let me get you the first volume ever written, and you will see that it is just as correct today as it was then.

Country Friends Presents “Havana Night” – On Saturday, February 16, from

Historically Speaking

by Tom Morrow

The Night Jack Met ‘The Great One’

Back in 1985 when I was vice president in charge of communications and historical archives for the Hotel del Coronado, I had a double coup, a somewhat unplanned event.

I had invited KGTV’s Jack White to come in and review the menu in the high-end Prince of Wales room where a steak would set you back more than $25 bucks – a lot of money in those days. Now, for those who don’t know it, Jack not only was a class-act as a news anchor, but he is a master magician.

Over the years I watched him mesmerize audience with his sleight of hand tricks as well as other awe inspiring stage maneuvers.

President Ronald Reagan mees Muhammad Alie

As Jack was in the middle of his steak and lobster meal, an entourage of about six men walked in and sat around a table over in the corner of the room. In the middle of the group was former heavyweight boxing champion Muhammed Ali. And, for those who don’t know it, Ali was a master sleight of hand expert in his own right.

I pointed out the recent arrivals to Jack. And, he did what I knew he would do. After completing his meal (he skipped dessert), Jack walked over to Ali’s group and introduced himself. After a few minutes of pleasantries, the subject of magic came up. Ali smiled and began playing with a coin. After making it disappear and re-appear, Jack took out a deck of playing card, which he often carried just in case such an occasion arose. He began shuffling and doing a variety of card tricks. Ali asked to borrow the deck. He responded to Jack’s tricks with some of his own. It was classic master-meeting-master. All the while this was going on, Jack’s cameraman, Leon Varsano was shooting the action with his video camera.

The next day, Jack’s review of the Prince of Wales on Channel 10

included the meeting of the Champ trading tricks of the trade with our own resident magician.

BTW, Jack is internationally recognized and has served on the board of directors for the leading prestodigialists organization, the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Last week he was in Scottsdale, Ariz., for their annual board meeting. He grew up in Oceanside and is a 1957 graduate of Oceanside High School.

ME WORRY? While most of us in our waning years won’t have to worry about it, today’s upcoming generations who will be in charge of this country are going to be sorely lacking for leadership.

California, alone, has an overwhelming percentage of students not graduating from high school and many of those getting through college are being tutored in socialistic principles. Who could turn down “free stuff?”

When basic civics and history are glazed over or not taught at all, can we be surprised if we end up with a generation of ignorant population?

The average so-called millennial doesn’t know the First Amendment of the Constitution, or who won World War II, or worse yet, what are the three bodies of government and what do they do. We have a problem – a big problem.

Caution: They vote and walk among us!

THINK ABOUT IT – “Trump’s election wasn’t about Trump. It was a throbbing middle finger in the face of America’s ruling class. It was a gesture of contempt, a howl of rage, the end result of decades of selfish and unwise decisions made by selfish and unwise leaders (on both sides of the fence). Happy countries don’t elect Donald Trump president. Desperate ones do.” – Tucker Carlson from hi current best-sellings book, “Ship of Fools.”

SIGNS SEEN -- In a restaurant window: "Don't stand there and be hungry; come on in and get fed up." In the front yard of a Funeral Home: "Drive carefully. We'll wait."At a Propane Filling Station: "Thank Heaven for little grills.” In a Chicago Radiator Shop: "Best place in town to take a leak."

And the best one for last, Sign on the back of another Septic Tank Truck: “Caution - This Truck is full of Political Promises.”

SCAG SEZ: Politicians doublecross any bridge they come to. – Cecil Scaglione, Mature Life Features.

Alzheimers and Dementia Linked to Gum Disease

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

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

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

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

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

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

The evening begins with Champagne, traypassed hors d’oeuvres, and a photo lounge from Pro Motion Entertainment, followed by a three-course dinner with fine wines.

Highlight of “Havana Night” is a special performance by Omo Aché, an organization dedicated to presenting, preserving, and promoting Cuba’s rich cultural heritage through dance and music performances, classes, and events. The San Diegobased company was founded by Havana’s Master Afro-Cuban Artist Juan Carlos Blanco in 1998. Adding to the festivities is an exhibit by D’Marco, a photographer who captures day-to-day life in Cuba and a glimpse into its history.

bleeding had not been successfully stopped. Reagan would lose over half of his blood volume in the emergency room and during surgery.

What followed next was extremely unusual and admirable. In the operating room the president actually halted the initial life-saving surgery by removing his oxygen mask from his face while lying flat on the operating table insisting on cracking yet another joke. The unexpected and bizarre act of Reagan physically removing his own oxygen mask from his face was something he felt compelled to do, so that he could humorously inquire: “Please tell me you’re all Republicans.”

Dr. Giordano, a self-proclaimed Democrat, replied: “Today, Mr. President, we are all Republicans.”

In News & Analysis, Dr. Stephen R. Bowers noted: “Few times are more challeng-

ing than the 1981 assassination attempt that nearly cost Reagan his life. Yet throughout his stay in the hospital, Reagan employed humor as both a device for encouraging those around him, but also as a way for proving that he was still in command.” He also employed humor as a device for self-healing, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Bedridden at the hospital, soon after his life-saving surgery, a nurse was moved to great compassion after seeing the U. S. President, and held Reagan’s hand in an effort to comfort him as he lay supine in his hospital bed. Through all the pain and traumatic ordeal he had been forced to experience, the president tightened his clasp upon her hand and managed to quip: “Does Nancy know about us?”

Many U. S. presidents, from time to time, have exhibited a measure of humor, some more than others. And many have parlayed that comic relief into their campaign speeches. But the field of American presiSocial Butterfly Cont. from Page 8

In this regard, Reagan stands alone in the spotlight. His only comedic reference is himself.

PRACTICAL JOKESTER. Reagan was a practical jokester, even throughout his presidential administration. He wore it like a second skin.

Once, when President Reagan met CBS News White House producer, Joe Peyronnin, at Reagan’s Santa Barbara ranch in 1981, the CBS journalist got a first-hand experience of Reagan’s lifelong “Secret Weapon,” which he brandished against the stressful constraints and punishing schedules which is the daily toll of being U. S. President.

The relentless presence and watchful eye of the overly-protective Secret Service agents were not immune to Reagan’s practical jokes.

As president, Reagan would have none of it -- particularly

people with disabilities and eliminating harmful stigmas, works with young adults through the Fellowship program where they have an opportunity to learn many different skills from journalism and social media to promoting accurate, diverse and inclusive media portrayals in TV and film.

Fellowships are offered during the Fall and Spring semesters, as well as summer. They are currently recruiting for both the Spring and Summer 2019 Cohorts. Students will find an engaging internship experience this spring or summer in one of these areas: Diversity in Film and Television; Employer Outreach/Stigma (great for journalism students); Communications & Advocacy: Social Media and Website Management. All Fellows have real work assignments. Specific projects will be assigned based on an individual’s unique skill set and their own ability to “bring something to the table.” Paid ($15/hour) and stipend opportunities available.

RespectAbility is a nonprofit organization fighting stigmas and advancing opportunities for the one-in-five Americans who have disabilities. Crucial to that work are the cohorts of young leaders that we recruit throughout the year for the National Young Leadership Program. Graduates of the program have gone on to work at the White House, run for office, work for top advocacy organizations and think tanks, and attend top graduate schools.

This is a fantastic opportunity for young leaders to get the skills and contacts they need to succeed. This fall, Fellows are working to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in Hollywood, as well as educational and employment opportunities for youth with disabilities. Fellows meet established journalist, public relations professionals, elected officials, experts and celebrities while doing hands on work that will really move the needle! Students should fill out the linked Google Doc Form and send their resume and cover letter to our National Leadership program Director Ben Spangenberg at BenS@RespectAbility.org to apply for any of our National Leadership Program opportunities.

At his ranch, Reagan let the CBS journalist into a humorous planned escapade.

“Well Joe,” the president grinned and giggled through hushed secret tones. Holding his finger to his nose to signify hush-hush dialogue, Reagan whispered: “I told the Secret Service one morning that I am going to walk out on the porch and then I did this . . . ”

In reenacting what happened next, the president suddenly stumbled and playfully placed his hand over his chest and pretended to be having a heart attack! Laughing out loud, Reagan said, “Well Joe, the Secret Service agents did not like that, and neither did Nancy!”

The re-telling of the whole prank scenario story stunned CBS White House producer Joe Peyronnin as he recalls in his own words: “I was stunned, but when he (President Reagan) laughed, I felt at ease.” tical information about the Fellowship program on the website at www.respectability.org/about-us/fellowship/communicatons-and-stigma-fellowship/.

Regarding the chagrin he caused the Secret Service, Peyronnin said: “I smiled and said ‘I wouldn’t have liked that either!’ He then turned and introduced me to the First Lady.”

President Reagan’s renegade humor sometimes went too far and backfired on him, resulting in bad press reviews and negative foreign political attacks.

It happened on August 11, 1984. President Reagan was making his weekly radio address at Rancho del Cielo, his vacation home near Santa Barbara, California. He was long-known for his comedic sound checks, outtakes and bloopers. Reagan looked about and asked, “Are you sure all cameras and microphones have been turned off ?”

Assured that there was no broadcast taping, Reagan then joked in a sound check: “My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever.

The Calidore String Quartet’s “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct” (New York Times) and “balance of intellect and expression” (Los Angeles Times) has won them accolades across the globe and firmly established them as one of the finest chamber music ensembles performing today. After their Kennedy Center debut, the Washington Post proclaimed that “Four more individual musicians are unimaginable, yet these speak, breathe, think and feel as one…The grateful audience left enriched and, I suspect, a little more human than it arrived.”

The Calidore String Quartet – violinists Jeffrey Myers and Ryan Meehan, violist Jeremy Berry, and cellist Estelle Choi – have garnered the most prestigious prizes for chamber music in North America and Europe especially with their most recent award of the 2018 Avery Fisher Career Grant. The group has made international headlines as the winner of the $100,000 Grand-Prize of the 2016 and inaugural MPrize International Chamber Music Competition, the largest prize for chamber music in the world. Also in 2016, the quartet became the first North American ensemble to win the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and was named BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artistsan honor that brings with it recordings, international radio broadcasts and appearances in Britain’s most prominent venues and festivals. Most recently in 2017, the Calidore Strings Quartet was honored with the Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award.

Reagan’s Secret Weapon Cont. from Page 9

Unknown to Reagan at the time, a “live feed” was still being transmitted to radio stations around the United States, though the “feed” was not part of the “official broadcast” which was to come later.

Reagan’s “off-the-record” remark was eventually leaked to the public, causing an uproar, especially in Russian political circles.

Reagan’s humor permeated his life. He even routinely joked about his own advancing years, growing older and closer to death. He even joked about his failing memory, which eventually had him succumb to Alzheimer’s disease which overtook him, eventually escorting him unto death.

HUMOR WAS HIS FIRST AND LAST BEST FRIEND. Although Reagan painted an idyllic image of his early childhood years, in truth, he was wall-papering a traumatic upbringing. As a small child, Reagan learned first-hand how humor worked to salvage him from the dustbin of life. Once, when he was only 6-years-old, he found his alcoholic father, Jack Reagan, laying out in the snow in a drunken stupor. This image of his father, who first

Rover is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society.

He’s a 1-1/2 year old, 50 pound, male, Black Mouth Cur mix.

Rover is a goofy guy who charms everyone he meets. He needs an energetic family. Rover was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society from a Texas shelter through the FOCAS program.

The $145 adoption fee for Rover includes medical exams, vaccinations, neuter, and registered microchip. For more information call 760-753-6413, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, or log on to SDpets.org.

brought him into the world, was devastating, especially during his formative years. As a toddler, he associated Christmas as an especially difficult time because his daddy would often go off on mindless, tragic, binges. The lasting scars it left on a young child’s psyche would forever haunt him – driving him into deep denial.

Miraculously for such a small boy, little Ronnie learned to immerse himself in comic books, cartoons, and learning to laugh in an otherwise dark, cruel, and impoverished existence, where he knew early-on that poverty was a shameful and humiliating condition which further separated him from ordinary life. He lived in small towns in northern Illinois, relocating from school and friends over half-a-dozen times before he even reached the tender age of 9.

The lingering trauma of alcoholic parents leave deep marks on their children’s lives, even long after those children become adults. However, with Ronald Reagan, humor and laughter was the only way he could desperately seek “damage control” in a broken upbringing -- and it worked and stayed with him throughout his lifetime.

REAGAN WAS RIGHT ALL

ALONG. As impossible as it may seem, laughter has now been discovered to protect the human heart by improving the function of blood vessels and increasing blood flow which can protect against a heart attack and other related cardiovascular problems even to the point of releasing infectionfighting antibodies – all the critical elements which came into play with President Ronald Reagan’s surgery and eventual recovery – when he was initially not even expected to survive -back in 1981.

Reagan only knew by instincts, what hard scientific fact would later confirm.

Dr. Robert R. Provine, professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Maryland and author of “Laughter: A Scientific Investigation,” agrees strongly with the world’s scientific community that this unknown factor needs to be rediscovered: “The definitive research into the potential health benefits of laughter just hasn’t been done yet.”

Such events as cited above have captured world headlines in

regards to the power of humor in a life-threatening crisis.

UCSD medical specialist Sophia Brock refers to such scenarios as “humor therapy” and “alternative therapy,” which can be the deciding factor between life and death as in the case with President Ronald Reagan.

Ms. Brock, who holds a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration and is a wellrespected registered Orthopedic Technician told The Paper in an exclusive interview of the vast importance of humor in medical research and healing.

THE PAPER: “Ms. Brock, medically speaking, how really important is humor?”

BROCK: “Humor in general, is important to our overall health and well-being.

Particularly, in terms of recovery, humor can go a long way.

There was a study done that looked at humor and laughter in the course of “palliative” (end of life) care. The study ultimately revealed improve-

The Disease to Please

I recently spoke on “approval addiction” or what is called the “disease to please.”

One definition is someone who will go to virtually any lengths to avoid unpleasant conflict with others and experience discomfort in knowing others disapprove of them.”

People pleasers are addicted to the approval of others. They want others to like them… often at any cost. But don’t get me wrong… it is not wrong to want to please others. The Bible teaches us that we are to care for the needs of others with kindness and respect. Even the

People pleasing can be a problem when we do so out of fear of what they might think. The fear of man, the Bible says, is a trap.

God is also very concerned for “why we do what we do”. Jesus taught we are not to do things “to be seen of man”. Pleasing God is the goal, whether or not it is always pleasing to others. This is a greater goal than to simply be liked by others.

When we desire the applause of men more than the applause of heaven, we are likely to develop an approval addiction. Today, ask yourself, do I have the disease to please? Do I seek the approval of God or of people?

How much of the time do I worry what people think?

When our goal is to glorify God, people will see it and react accordingly. Not everyone may approve, but you will experience the favor of God. Who do you seek to please?

Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara Greetings Escondido,

This week I’ve continued to have meetings with different groups and organizations. The purpose of these meetings is threefold. One is to give the organization the opportunity to share their concerns with me. Two is to make sure I understand the role they play in the city, and three is to convey that they know their mayor wants a dialogue with them and a transparent relationship.

Reagan’s Secret Weapon Cont. from Page 10 ment in the general atmosphere and relationships between the patient and their providers.

Laughter and humor add to the dynamic of patient “centeredness” and stress relief.”

In an interview granted just last week, Brock’s parting analysis hit home: “There are so many things you share with your patient from start to finish and adding some humor to the journey will improve their experience.”

Related to that end, we continue to work on an inaugural meeting of city leaders in areas that range from economic development, to education, to social challenges. The idea is that as a community we work to refine the processes, relationships, and goals necessary to take our city to the next level.

Finally, I was at the ribbon cutting for a new 7/11 and ground breaking for the Chalice UU congregation multipurpose building. It is always great to attend events like these.

Congratulations!

Visit Our Vibrant Downtown!

The resurgence of the downtown core is continuing to bring in new restaurants and a renewed vitality and spark to our City.

This has also turned the downtown neighborhood into a canvas for artists. Vista’s energetic public art initiative encompasses many programs that enhance the downtown district. New pieces of art are also continually being installed downtown with support from the City’s Public Arts Commission, city

resources, and the community. We’re also working on enhancing other aspects of downtown. The City recently installed new lights along the Creek Walk, and invested $1 million in street light improvements and directional signage downtown. We spend a lot of time talking with and listening to individual business owners to identify ways to solve issues and meet their needs, which has influenced this revitalization of the area and the surge of new businesses to our downtown.

Head downtown and experience it yourself!

traumatic and painful existence, little Ronnie Reagan, somehow, managed to build a unique kingdom seldom seen on Earth. A kingdom built, brick-by-brick, on laughter and perseverance. “ Laughter in the Face of Tragedy” would become his coat-of-arms.

Laughter, a life-long companion which took his tiny fragile hand as a child and led him out into the bright sunlight of life . . . a brave new world for him, of which he would become the 40th President of the United States.

With that being said, U. S. Imagine that.

President Ronald Reagan certainly had a journey – from start to finish – beginning as a little boy, first born into the world 108 years ago in a little town called Tampico, Illinois. By example, he taught us much about living through tragedy, poverty, and death. And how we can sometimes not only learn how to lift ourselves out of the cesspool of life, but learn to laugh along the way.

The demand for “refurbs” has built to the point that we now are able to buy in quantity and benefit from volume pricing. This has allowed us to build our inventories in “refurb” notebooks and desktops so that we have the stock to cover nearly any requirement. From our sources we are also able to buy “refurb” monitors. “Refurb” is a bit of a misnomer with monitors because no one actually “refurbs” monitors. They either function perfectly or they are recycled. Since monitors have no moving parts they really don’t age so a used monitor is as good as a new one.

The real difference is that the price is about half that of a new monitor.

Guardianship of the person of Kaden Dean, Colton Jesina and Dalilah Jesina

Petitioner: Eva Beatty 453 Vale View Dr., Vista, CA. 92081 Phone 760.274.7647

Petitioner requests the court to appoint her as guardian for the children named above.

Attorney: Cathryn E. Young, Esq. Griffith, Young & Lass, APC 1525 Faraday Avenue, Suite 140 Carlsbad, CA. 92008 858.345.1720 Fax> 858.345.1725 Email: catie@gylfamilylaw.com

The proposed guardian is NOT related to the child or children named.

I am the proposed guardian. I will promplty furnish any information requested by an agency investigating an adoption or a local agency designated by the county to provide public social services.

The full legal name and date of birth of each child who needs a guardian is: Kaden Michael Dean, dob 3-10-06 Colton Honza Jesina, dob 11-11/07 Dalilah Hana-Sue Jesina, dob 910-09

The guardianship is necessary or convenient for the reasons given below: I am friends with the children’s mother, Melissa Dean Baumann, who has been incarcerated since July, 2014, sentenced 15 years to life. The whereabouts of their father, Mark Jesina, is unknown. He has made no attempt to contact me or the children since 7/2014. The children have been in my sole custody and care since 7/2014. I have raised them with the help of my husband. Melissa consents to the Legal Guardianship Appointment and has signed over Power of Attorney to me. Attached POA signed 8/1/14 & 3/22/17. I do not believe Father, if located, would contest the guardianship. Pursing legal guardianship will allow me to obtain benefits through the state of California which will be extremely helpful and beneficial for the children.

We ask the court to appoint Eva Beatty as guardian of the person of the children named above and issue Letters of Guardianship.

Excuse me from having to give notice of the hearing on the petition to one or more relatives or other persons listed in item 2 of the attached Guardianship Petition Child Information Attachment (form GC-210(CA)) for the reasons given below:

I do not know the known location or wherabouts of Mark Jesina, the children’s father. He has had no contact or made any attempts to contact me or childen since July 2014. Last I heard he was homeless, without a job and has been in and out of jail on drug related offenses. I will gladly serve by publication if required to so so by the court.
