In short, the historic Cuban Missile Crisis is well known to all students (both foreign and domestic) who are required to study world history at schools and universities in every civilized country on the globe today.

50 MILLION AMERICANS TODAY STILL REMEMBER IF THEY WOULD LIVE TO SEE

ANOTHER DAY. Today, in 2021, there is an estimated 50 million living Americans who, literally, remember thinking of their cherished family members back then -and wondering if they would ever see them again.

That chilling and traumatic thought was prevalent, all the way up to the White House, the Kremlin, and billions of living human beings on the planet.

Robert S. McNamara (1916-2009), the U. S. Secretary of Defense

Cuban Missile Crisis

under President John F. Kennedy, shared the exact same thought of a world abruptly ending in apocalyptic doom and total annihilation amid nuclear fire and damnation.

McNamara recalled that terrifying moment on October 27, 1962, as America stood on the brink of nuclear war with the Soviet Union: “I was leaving the White House around dusk to go back to my office in the Pentagon. It was a perfectly beautiful night, as fall nights are in Washington. I walked out of the President’s Oval Office, and as I

SHOCKING DECLASSIFIED FILES OF BEHIND-THESCENES EVENTS LONG KEPT SECRET FROM THE WORLD. This cover story contains “Top Secret” intercepted Russian calls (translated into English) that were recently declassified, as well as a most chilling insight within the minds of opposing military strategists and world leaders at the time.

Major Anderson is on his 6th flight over Cuba, designated “Top Secret Operation Brass Knob.”

Much of what you are about to read has remained shrouded in secrecy from most of the public and, therefore, still vastly unknown and unread for almost 60 years after the fact!

Incorporating so-called loupes and microscopic devices, the spy plane seems capable of accomplishing the impossible: taking photos from an altitude of over 15 miles up in the stratosphere and yet have pictures so detailed as to show as little as 8-inches apart on the ground – or for one to be able to read the license plates of parked automobiles from the outskirts of space!

“TOP SECRET” DATELINE: 75,000 FEET ABOVE CUBAN AIR SPACE. It’s Saturday, October 27, 1962.

USAF Major, Rudolf Anderson, Jr., age 35, is in the cockpit of the world’s most advanced and sophisticated high-altitude reconnaissance spy aircraft ever made, to that time.

His secret flying machine was first flown by America’s CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).

Now the Lockheed U-2 aircraft, nicknamed “Dragon Lady,” has been covertly repainted with the USAF insignia, masking its origins

Valley Center Native Serves at Naval Air Station Jacksonville - A Valley Center, California, native is serving with the U.S. Navy’s cutting-edge maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft squadron in Jacksonville, Florida.

Lt. j.g. Dylan Fredenburg joined the Navy two years ago.

Today, Fredenburg serves as a naval flight officer. “My uncle, a coast guard commander, inspired me to join the Navy. He helped to point me in the right direction,” said Fredenburg. “I wanted to serve my country while I can and am physically able to.”

RETRIEVED DECLASSIFIED RUSSIAN VOICE TRANSMISSIONS DETAIL ANDERSON DETECTED ON SOVIET RADAR DEFENSE SHIELDS. On October 27, 1962, USAF Major Anderson takes off in his Lockheed U-2F from McCoy Air Force Base in Florida.

He is en route to his Top Secret Mission 3127 high above Cuban skies.

He is now nearly 15 miles straight up during his Top Secret foray over Cuban airspace, photographing the military landscape far, far below him.

When he first re-entered Cuban airspace, he was unaware that he had already out-worn his welcome.

Unknown to both Anderson and U. S. Intelligence, this time his highaltitude reconnaissance plane “Dragon Lady” had become a ‘bogey blip’ on Soviet radar shields.

At precisely 9:12 a.m. (Havana time), a little more than an hour after entering the stratosphere over Cayo Coco Island in central Cuba, Major Anderson’s Secret Mission 3127 would suddenly be in great peril.

Soviet radar Combat Information

Killer of Bear Valley's Great Grizzly Revealed - For 155 years, there has been uncertainty over the identity of the man who shot and killed the famed Grizzly bear that was the inspiration for Valley Center's original name of Bear Valley. The leading candidate has always been Jose Castro whose descendants have long identified him as the Indian who fired the shot in 1866, felling the 2,200-pound bear, identified as the largest Grizzly ever killed in California.

Information and a photo of Castro, donated by his family to the Valley Center Historical Society, is labeled "the mighty bear slayer." (Castro was one-half Indian.) New evidence, however, suggests that Castro, who likely was present at the site, is not the Indian who fired the fatal shot.

Staff at the local History Museum recently examined an oral history given in 1939 by Catherine Lovett Smith, daughter of Ada and James Lovett who owned the home where the now-famous bear launched its attack. Catherine said that the Castro family helped them to build a cabin in 1865, "Indian style, made of oak posts and willow poles." The house, near the intersection of present-day Lake Wohlford and Guejito roads, was later covered with stucco and remained standing until 2012 when the owners razed the adobelike home following damage from a fire.

According to Catherine's narrative, her mother found an Indian near

Center (CIC) now begins tracking him closely.

Two Soviet generals suddenly move out of their comfortable chairs to closely scrutinize what their advanced radar electronic systems were detailing out in cryptic coordinates and numerical calculations, as the darkened Combat Center is sporadically lit-up from a spectrum of colors emanating from high-tech sensory devices.

The following declassified Soviet voice transmission is a translation version from Russian to English.

SOVIET RADAR: “Our guest has been up there for over an hour.”

(Soviet Lieutenant General, Stepan Grechko, in charge of Soviet Air Defenses in Cuba, speaking to Major General, Leonid Garbuz, Deputy Commander of Soviet Forces in Cuba, both in the Havana Command Center.)

As the Soviet Radar Defense System continues tracking the intruder aircraft, the two Soviet generals voice concerns and accurately conclude that the pilot is photographing secret locations of tactical nuclear weapons positioned near America’s Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.

SOVIET RADAR: “I repeat, he’s been up there over an hour and I think we should give the order to shoot it down, as it is discovering our positions in depth.” (Lt. Gen. Grechko to Deputy Gen. Garbuz.)

their home where the bear had been stalking and asked him to climb the tree outside their house and kill the bear if he came back. "Sure enough," she said, "the bear did come back and the Indian shot him but did not kill him at once." The wounded bear wandered off and the Indian got two white men who also had guns to go with him to finish the bear. "They tracked him to a canyon where they found him desperately wounded and finished him", said Catherine. She identifies the Indian as Florencio.

Temporary hours are Wednesdays and Fridays from 12 noon to 4 p.m.

The bear, widely known in the area as a cattle killer, was loaded onto a wagon and taken to the nearby ranch of Col. Asher E. Maxcy where it weighed 2,200 pounds.

Maxcy, who had offered a reward for the destruction of the bear, paid Florencio fifty dollars in gold. The species known as the California Grizzly Bear has been extinct since 1924; however, taxidermy mounts of the actual Grizzly exist in three California museums, one of which is in Valley Center. The bear on permanent exhibition stands 8 feet tall and weighs about 1,000 pounds, or some 1,000 pounds less than the original.

For more information and to view the bear, visit the History Museum at 29200 Cole Grade Road.

Buddy Cont. from Page 2

Jose Castro was a witness to the 1866 killing of the Grizzly that gave Valley Center its original name of Bear Valley, and legend has it that he fired the fatal shot that felled the giant bear

Only orders from a fully-ranked Soviet Commander can officially give orders to shoot down such an aircraft.

The prevailing problem is that there is no commanding general available to authorize the launch of a lethal surface-to-air-missile.

Lt. Gen. Grechko is becoming more distraught as he continues talking nervously in Russian to Soviet Deputy Garbuz, who is visibly shaken.

Gen Grechko tells Garbuz, “I think all of our missile starting positions have been uncovered! And we must not allow that secret information to fall into the hands of the U. S. Pentagon!”

Both are in agreement as Grechko frantically tries several times to get in touch with his Commander, General Issa Pliyev, but is unsuccessful.

With harsh-sounding Russian consonant inflections, Lt. Gen. Grechko now states his anger and great reluctance to contact the alternative choice of Defense Minister Malinovsky.

First off, you would thank her for being your mom. Because she is awesome. In fact, out of all the moms in this whole world, she is the mommiest.

Then you’d tell her how wonderful she smells, and how delicious her shoes were. You’ve tasted a lot of shoes in your life, hers were up there.

But then, if you could truly communicate, probably the main thing you’d tell her is what you’ve always wished you could tell her, which is: “I love you, Mom!”

Woman pleads not guilty in deaths of 4 pedestrians in Escondido

Ashley Rene Williams, 28, from (Photo: Calif.

Escondido, Escondido Police Department)

An Escondido woman accused in a vehicle crash that killed four people, including two children, pleaded not guilty to all charges levied against her.

Ashley Rene Williams pleaded not guilty to four counts of murder and four counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated during her initial court appearance, which was via video conference.

The 28-year-old’s bail was set at $1 million.

According to Escondido police, just before 8:30 p.m. on May 5, Williams was driving northbound near Oak Hill Drive and San Pasqual Valley Road when she struck two adults and two children walking in the area.

Abel Valdez, 33, and 11-year-old Emmanuel Riva died at the scene.

The boys were brothers, and Camacho was their grandmother.

Valdez was Camacho’s boyfriend, according to a GoFundMe established for the family.

Williams was taken to the hospital after also suffering injuries.

Following an investigation that involved the analysis of evidence that included cellphone and vehicle computer data, lab test results, and roadway measurements, Williams was arrested at her home on June 4.

Prosecutors said Williams was under the influence of drugs and using her cellphone at the time of the collision.

Williams’ driver’s license was already suspended as of Feb. 18, 2020, due to a drug-related offense.

DMV records showed she was also involved in a non-alcohol related crash on Dec. 16, 2019.

San Diego County Deputy District Attorney Laurie Hauf said, “We believe she is a danger to the community, to the safety of the public, having been advised the last time that driving while intoxicated could kill somebody and she did it anyway.”

A readiness hearing for Williams is set for July 7, with a preliminary hearing scheduled in the case for Aug. 20.

The woman was driving north on Bear Valley Parkway north of El Dorado Drive around 3:45 a.m. when she veered left in her 2004 Nissan Maxima, went off the road and hit the tree, said California Highway Patrol Officer Juan Escobar.

CHP officers and the Escondido Fire Department responded but the woman died before she could be taken to a hospital.

First -- this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American.

This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans.

If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity, race and non-American nationalitybased celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values -- E Pluribus Unum, "from many, one." And this school will be guided by America's values. This includes all afterschool clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.

Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic,

So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more.

If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.

Second -- I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America's citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market.

We will learn other languages here - it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English -but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.

Grechko explains his reasons to Deputy Garbuz: “We know that Defense Minister Malinovsky had been asked more than once to have pre-firing radar ‘lock’ onto a target for preliminary launch and the minister has said ‘no’ on multiple occasions!

“And it’s now impossible to get in touch with Moscow in such a short time!”

After a short reflection, the voice transcript reveals Grechko announcing in Russian: “Well, let’s take responsibility ourselves!”

Deputy Commander Garbuz of Soviet Forces in Cuba, agrees.

Third -- because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly.

Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school.

These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

Fourth -- No obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events If you can't speak without using the f-word, you can't speak.

By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as "Nigger," even when used by one black student to address another black, or "bitch," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.

U. S. war with the Soviet Union now appears imminent.

The shocking news stuns President Kennedy in his Oval Office.

His military advisors want immediate retaliation!

Kennedy correctly assumes that the aerial kill was not authorized by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

Despite the urgings from his military advisors, he worries that retaliatory airstrikes would inevitably result in all-out nuclear war.

Kennedy says on record: “It isn’t the first step that concerns me. But its both sides escalating to the fourth or fifth step . . . and then . . . we don’t go to the sixth step . . . because there is no one around to do so.”

As Kennedy tells his advisers this, both of the president’s hands form rigid fists which he brings up to shield his face.

16, 1962, revealing the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba.

The photo disclosures to Kennedy triggered the Cuban Missile Crisis, of which the world today still speaks of.

U. S. ULTIMATUM TO SOVIET UNION. The youngest elected U. S. president is now sleep deprived as he officially demands that the Soviet Union immediately remove all the Soviet missiles already in Cuba, as well as for the complete destruction of all missile launch sites, which were considered as an imminent (close proximity) firststrike threat to the U. S. mainland.

From their launch point in Cuba, these types of missiles are capable of not only quickly reaching targets in the Eastern U. S. with deadly pin-point accuracy if allowed to become operational but, also, such a close range would greatly decrease to almost zero of any practical efforts for American antiballistic defense to engage.

THE SOVIET UNION WANTED A NUCLEAR FIRST-STRIKE CAPABILITY. According to declassified documents, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev “had gambled on sending these particular missiles to Cuba with the specific goal of increasing his nation’s nuclear first-strike capability against the United States.”

After several secret meetings with his political and military advisors, OBITUARY

Kennedy decided to place a naval blockade of U. S. warships to stop Soviet ships from delivering further military supplies to Cuba.

The show of American military force was apparent when three formidable U. S. aircraft carriers, the U.S.S. Independence, U.S.S. Essex, and the U.S.S. Randolph formed a ring around Cuba.

The Soviet Union was warned of the U. S. naval blockade through diplomatic channels.

ON THE BRINK OF A NUCLEAR WAR. Despite the blockade, Soviet ships continued en route to Cuba.

For thirteen days in October of 1962 the world held its breath, seemingly on the brink of nuclear war, and prayed for a peaceful resolution to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The leaders of both superpowers recognized the devastating possibility of a nuclear war as the opposing naval confrontation grew closer and closer by the hour as Soviet naval ships continued onward towards Cuba!

The words hung in the air, like daggers: “. . . a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.”

The words could not have been clearer – a full, unlimited, total nuclear attack against the country of Russia was in the balance.

America was now fully-committed to its promise and there was now no bluffing whatsoever at the political and military poker table. The survival of human civilization was, ostensibly, at stake.

COULD AMERICA HAVE DEFEATED THE SOVIET UNION? Military experts and a variety of historians have pondered this compelling and ‘necessary’ question.

Necessary, in the sense that it would have been foolhardy for the United States in 1962 not to have assessed this question on military terms.

Otherwise, they would not have been doing their job.

This obviously holds true for the Soviet Union war machine as well.

In the opinion of many experts, the United States would have survived with tens of millions of Americans dead (a most dreadful scenarios we, most certainly, wished to avoid – if possible).

However, in such a brutal, lethal nuclear exchange, the Soviet Union, on the other hand, would most certainly have been erased, completely, from existence, in the opinion of military both then, and now.

Even the Soviet Union, privately, knew this ultimate outcome.

Soviet propaganda aside, Khrushchev’s own military advisors knew better.

Today’s foremost Russian military expert, Dr. Pavel Podvig (trained at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology) and works on the “analysis of technical and political aspects of Russian nuclear composition and Russia’s current nuclear forces and capability,” is among the most august sources to reference on this.

1962 BALANCE OF POWER. When John F. Kennedy campaigned for the U. S. presidency,

one of his key issues was an alleged “missile gap,” between us and the Russians.

In stark reality, there was no “missile gap” that America had fallen behind on.

In actual fact, the United States led the Soviet military machine by a super-wide margin – and this margin would continue to greatly increase.

The “gap” between both nations soon resembled a chasm, with American (military) missile technology far and away in the lead.

Quantity of nuclear missiles on either side is completely irrelevant if a country does not have the accuracy or sophisticated delivery system, pre-firing radar guidance input, and other top secret electronic counter-measures for jamming other guidance systems.

The nearest best example would be tantamount to having a boxer enter into a ring with his ears, nose, and eyes completely closed, and his brain partially deactivated.

As one declassified report noted (and corroborated by Soviet defectors): “The U.S. in 1962 had a considerable advantage in total number of nuclear warheads (27,000 against 3,600) and – most importantly – the superior technology required for their accurate delivery.”

ONE OF THE SOVIET UNION’S GREATEST FEARS. Back in 1962, the United States had 10 George Washington and Ethan Allen class ballistic missile submarines.

The topper is that every one of these U. S. ballistic-missile submarines had the capability to launch 16 Polaris nuclear-tipped missiles, each with a range of 2,500 nautical miles.

According to intercepted classified military files, the Soviet Union found it unimaginable that just one of these nuclear subs (unlike their own) was (1) virtually impossible to detect from even sensitive satellite sensors (2) could launch nuclear tipped missile while still deeply submerged (3) (each) of her 16 nuclear-tipped missiles was over 40 times more powerful than the atomic bomb which erased Hiroshima off the map on August 16, 1945 virtually ending the Second World War. (4) That such a nuclear submarine could destroy multiple countries simultaneously and still have the ‘over-kill’ to make the rubble bounce . . . multiple times over!

That there were 9 such sister nuclear submarines so ferociously armed and just sitting (undetected) off the coast a potential adversary was completely mind boggling to the Soviet military intelligence network.

The frosting on the cake was that

A Train Wreck

Reality is setting in for the highspeed rail project. Cost overruns, construction delays and false promises may have finally doomed the project.

In 2008, voters passed Prop. 1A, a $9.5 billion bond measure to help finance high-speed rail. Promises included keeping costs under $40 billion, the state’s maximum investment would be 30%, funding from federal, private and local sources would pay the rest. Additional taxpayer subsidies were prohibited, and construction could not begin until all revenues were in hand for the first segment.

But projected costs now range as high as $100 billion, making this the third most costly construction project in world history, more costly than the International Space Station and the 47,000 mile interstate highway project.

No ground breaking without funding? In 2016 that promise vanished when work started on the initial segment between Madera and an almond grove in Shafter. But there’s no money for stations, for maintenance facilities, for grade separations, and speeds have been greatly reduced – meaning we’ll have slow high-speed rail.

Governor Newsom requested $4.2 billion to complete the first link, but funds have not been allocated since

many legislators are getting cold feet. Obviously, scarce transportation dollars could be better used elsewhere, as in highly urbanized areas like LA, or San Diego for that matter.

There is a way out. The federal government required development of a contingency plan to salvage funds already spent if there were “significant delays.” Obviously, we are having significant delays – the project is 13 years behind schedule. A plan submitted to the federal government would allow transfer of the initial segment to Amtrak to improve travel times on its existing San Joaquin service.

We must cut our losses by getting value out of funds already spent. If we don’t bail out now, High-SpeedRail will be the biggest train wreck in history.

Power Safety, Power Shutoffs

Power safety, power shutoffs (PSPS) can wreak havoc on the backcountry, especially on evacuation routes. As we head into fire season, many people will have their power shutoff due to high winds and fire danger.

Back in March, Supervisor Joel Anderson and I presented a Board Letter after hearing about problems associated with PSPS events. This item passed with unanimous support and directed the Chief Administrative Officer to identify gaps in Public Safety Power Shutdown mitigation and opportunities to further reduce the impact on the region.

As part of the effort a survey was taken that revealed that 73% of those surveyed felt they didn’t have sufficient resources to maintain safety for life, property, and the environment during a PSPS event and 72% felt they were not sufficiently notified that the PSPS event ended. These results are startling, and I believe more can be done to coordinate traffic during PSPS events.

While we have received part of the report, last week, I directed our

County Administration Officer, to make sure that streetlights along evacuation routes continue to remain on, especially at night.

When power outages occur, the battery backup systems operate the traffic signals with full functionality for first 4 hours after which they switch to all red operations for an additional 4 hours after which the signals become dark. This is not good enough!

I will keep you updated on our efforts to keep our back country safe as we head into fire season.

While we can’t stop fires, we can do our best to have a plan and keep people safe.

PROBLEM SOLVED

BY CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT

Q I had three tickets to a Taylor Swift concert in Inglewood, Calif., in the summer of 2020. In February, Ticketmaster notified me that the show had been canceled because of COVID-19.

Ticketmaster had shut down phone and email support. The only mechanism I had to contact them was Twitter and they were inconsistent in responding. Eventually, a representative informed me that they had processed a refund. They gave me a confirmation number. A few weeks later, after I didn't see the refund on my credit card, I emailed Chase's executive team and received two voicemails and a letter verifying that they rejected the refund because Ticketmaster had sent the refund to a closed account.

I've tried to contact Ticketmaster several times about my refund, but Ticketmaster still has $2,031 -- and it's been more than a year. Can you help me? -- Matthew Gerstman, New York

A: Ticketmaster should have refunded your tickets swiftly. It knew that you had closed your account and should have contacted you to make alternate arrangements. Instead, it sat on your $2,031. That's not something you're likely to shake off. The money belongs with you.

Ticketmaster's <a href="https://help.ticketmaster.com /s/article/How-do-I-request-arefund?language=en_US">refund policy</a> is clear. All sales are final, and refunds are only allowed in "limited circumstances." If you qualify for a refund -- which you do -- you'll see a “Request a Refund” link in your online account.

"After submitting your request, your refund will be processed to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, once funds are received from the event organizer," according to Ticketmaster's site.

It appears the event organizer paid Ticketmaster, and then Ticketmaster tried to refund the original method of payment -- and failed.

I reviewed the correspondence between you and Ticketmaster. It looks like you used various methods to communicate with the company, including phone, text and social media. Those can be effective under some circumstances. But when you're trying to build a paper trail -- written evidence that you are trying to resolve a problem -- those methods become problematic. In the end, you had to share a Dropbox folder with screenshots. That can make it a little challenging for a customer service agent to follow the progress of a case or lack thereof.

I think a few carefully written emails to Ticketmaster might have gotten your case moving and prevented any more bad blood. I list

Page 7

the names, numbers and email addresses of the <a href="https://www.elliott.org/comp a n y contacts/ticketmaster/">Ticketmast er customer service executives</a> on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.

It appears that there's one blank space in your file: An official letter from your former credit card company that says it received and rejected the payment sent by Ticketmaster. Without the letter, Ticketmaster will not reprocess your refund.

You found the document, sent it to me, and I forwarded it to Ticketmaster. In May, more than a year after your concert had been canceled, you received a resolution.

"Our Fan Support has been in touch with Matthew to see if he would prefer to receive a check in the mail or manual credit for a refund," a Ticketmaster representative told me. "This has now be resolved."

A balancing act to end a war

In 2007, I Ask Oceanside’s Clarence Baer what he did for Uncle Sam during the great World War II. He replied with a smile, "I served in the United States Army ‘Chair Corps’ weighing airplanes.”

Although he never heard a shot fired in anger, Baer had a key role in ending the war, even though he didn't know he was doing it at the time.

TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER

BY CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT

Q: Last year, I booked airline tickets from Prague to Los Angeles through SkyLux, an online ticket broker. After Lufthansa canceled my flight at the last minute, a SkyLux agent promised that the company had refunded my money but that I needed to pay for a new ticket.

The money had not been refunded. I paid for two tickets. The second one, needless to say, was more expensive than the first.

I've been calling and emailing for 9 months asking to be refunded, still nothing! When I asked for a manager, they would not give me anyone else to speak with aside from the original booking agent. Can you help me get a refund?

-- Michelle Alexander, Los Angeles

A: I'm sorry that SkyLux didn't refund your ticket as promised. It's hard to describe the chaos that followed the COVID-19 pandemic. Airlines canceled flights. Travel agencies tried to rebook the tickets or secure refunds.

The situation left customers confused and irritated.

Nine months is way too long to wait for a refund, of course. It looks as if Lufthansa sent your refund to SkyLux. But somehow, the money didn't make it to you. Then you contacted the online ticket broker, and there was some confusion about who had the money. Finally, you decided to dispute your charges under the Fair Credit Billing Act. SkyLux fought the dispute and won.

So what's going on here? First, it looks like the online agency and your airline

Baer grew up in Spartansburg, S.C., receiving a mechanical engineering degree from Clemson. By 1939, war clouds were on the horizon and all of the aircraft companies were hiring as many engineers as they could find. Baer moved to Burbank where he went to work for Lockheed as a weight engineer.

Later that year, an Army Air Corps colonel from Wright Army Air Field in Dayton, Ohio got into a conversation with him about the looming war.

"He told me he had a job for me if I wanted it -- as a weights and balance officer," Baer recalled. "I figured it was a good opportunity to get in on the ground floor, so I told him I'd go if he could get me orders."

Within a month Baer was a 1st lieutenant stationed at the U.S. Army Air Corps Aircraft Laboratory at Wright Field near Dayton. Baer was assigned to the Weight Branch headed by a major who didn't know anything about weighing an aircraft. While Baer's work in the Army Air Corps didn't seem that exciting, it had its moments.

Basically, it was his job to calculate and design heavy loads for planes, especially bombers, so they could get off the ground safely and fly properly.

By 1943, Baer was a captain and considered one of the Air Corps' top weight and balance experts. Two years later Captain Baer was told to report to a hangar where two B-29 Superfortress bombers awaited. He figured these weren't just any bombers but no one was saying why they were special.

"All I was told was that 'here are two aircraft that each has to be modified to carry a 'very heavy object,'" Baer recalled. "I was told that what I was working on was 'more than top-secret.' It was the most important job I would ever have."

The two B-29 bombers took their turn on the huge scales in the Wright Field hangar. Baer's job was to tell other engineers where to place the bomb rack. The first B-29 would have to be fitted for a 10,000-pound "object;" the second one, a 9,000-pound payload.

We didn't have computers back then. I had to work out everything on a mechanical calculator and a slide ruler."

Baer said no B-29, the biggest bomber during the war, had ever carried a bomb load with that much weight.

"It didn't take very long for me to do the work … maybe a few weeks, and then the two B-29s disappeared one night," he recalled.

Three months after the war ended Baer realized he had designed the bomb loads for the Enola Gay and Bock’s Car, the two B-29s that carried the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. The Enola Gay carried a uranium-235 bomb called "Little Boy," a 9,700-pound device; Bock’s Car (named for its pilot, Fredrick C. Bock) carried "Fat Man," a 10,300pound plutonium bomb.

Army Air Corps Col. Paul Tibbett, the pilot of the Enola Gay (named for his mother), said the following about the tremendous weight of "Little Boy" as it was dropped over Hiroshima: "We were carrying such weight that when the bomb was released, the Enola Gay shot up so fast that my pilot's seat hit my ass with such tremendous force, I thought I was going to be thrown through the top of the plane."

After the war, Baer returned to civilian life in Los Angeles where he spent 16 years working for the Northrup Corporation Almost on his first day he saved his new employer a lot of money.

"It was left to me to explain to Jack Northrup that the new F-89 jet fighter we were building would have to be modified because someone had calculated the weight of the fuel as gasoline instead of jet fuel, which is heavier," Baer explained.

"The plane had to be redesigned for bigger tanks in order to meet the Air Corps' range specifications."

Meanwhile, Baer stayed in the U.S. Air Force Reserve retiring as a lieutenant colonel. During a presentation at a high school, a young student raised her hand and asked, "Don't you feel guilty having played a role in the death of all those innocent people at Hiroshima?"

Baer shook his head and replied, "No. I actually feel good about it because I helped save a lot of lives - including Japanese lives. Those bombs brought a quick end to the war," he concluded.

Cuban Missile Crisis Cont. from Page 4

each UGM-27 Polaris nuclear submarine could launch missiles with advanced pre-firing guidance input so every missile would maintain a lower trajectory making it impossible for interception along with an accelerated speed-to-target for the kill. One missile target kill carries the equivalent of 40 atomic bombs (per missile).

AFTER KENNEDY’S SPEECH, THE SOVIET UNION “JUST FROZE” IN TERROR. The following declassified files tell the tale of the tape.

At the precise time of the speech, an official military directive went out to all U. S. Forces around the world, placing them on DEFCON 3.

The next day at 10:00 p.m. EDT, the U. S. raised the readiness level of SAC forces to DEFCON-2. For the only (confirmed) time in United States history, B-52 bombers went on airborne alert, and B-47 medium bombers were dispersed to various military and civilian airfields and made ready for take-off – all fully equipped – on just 15-minutes notice.

One-eighth of SAC’s (Strategic Air Command’s) 1,436 bombers were placed on airborne alert and over 145 intercontinental ballistic missiles all poised in the direction of the Soviet Union, ready for launch

status (some of them targeting Cuba).

The ferocious 9 sister submarines armed with a total of 144 nuclear tipped UGM-27 Polaris missiles were nowhere to be seen, which made Russian Military Intelligence in stark terror.

THE SOVIET UNION “JUST FROZE!” Air Defense Command (ADC) redeployed 161 nucleararmed interceptors to 16 designated areas within 9 hours, with 1/3 maintaining 15-minute alert status.

Additionally, 23 nuclear-armed B52s were sent to orbit crucial points within striking distance of the Soviet Union.

This combined action sent a ferocious signal that the United States was in deadly earnest.

Air Force General, Jack J. Catton, later estimated that approximately 80 percent of America’s Strategic Air Command’s war planes were ready for launch during this time.

U. S. Air Force four-star General, David A. Burchinal, recalls in his own words: “The Russians were so thoroughly stood down, and we knew it. They didn’t make any move. They did not increase their alert; they did not increase any flights, or their air defense posture.

They didn’t do a thing. They just froze in place. We were never further from nuclear war than at that time, never before.”

They (the Soviet Union) were, militarily and technologically, overmatched – and they knew it.

Air Force general, David Burchinal, who would become Deputy Commander in Chief, United States European Command said: “The Russian capitulation was never in doubt. The CD (Chrome Dome) operations were designed to make it clear to the Russians that they were hardly even competing in the military confrontation, and could quickly have been destroyed.”

And now that these declassified files have been released, new generations may read about how great our country was during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

And how truly proud they should all feel towards our sacred Homeland.

For all our faults and imperfections, She still remains the Last Best Hope of humankind.

There was never a more proud moment for our country.

We stood resolute on uncompromising principles.

Tips for trekking San Marcos trails

Did you know that the City of San Marcos boasts an astounding 70. 4 miles of trails? If not, it’s time to get out there and explore them!

Here are top trail tips from the San Marcos Trails Advisory Committee: 1. Stay alert. Watch for other trail users, emergency vehicles or wildlife and wear only one earbud (if listening to music) so you are aware of your surroundings.

2. Observe park regulations and speed limits.

3. Yield. Bikers and dogs yield to hikers and horses; hikers yield to horses.

4. Stay to the right, pass on the left. Slower moving trail users, such as horses or walkers, should stay to the right. Faster trail users should pass on the left and call out, “passing on your left.”

5.

Leave no trace. Pack out your trash and animal waste and keep our parks clean and safe for other users.

Vista • Mayor Judy Ritter

Staying Connecte d in Vista

The City uses many different tools to keep residents informed about city happenings and provides multiple methods of communication to keep our community connected. I encourage residents to attend our City Council meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month or stream the meeting online at CityofVista.com. Following are a few more ways to keep connected: sign up for weekly e-bulletins providing brief summaries of city happenings or projects; download the City’s Access Vista mobile app for information, park trails, public art or recreational opportunities; follow us on our social media platforms; or check our online news page. Whether residents want to stay informed all the time or just during emergencies, staying informed is a priority for the City.

Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara Greetings Escondido,

I know I spoke about Homelessness last week, but I think it merits a few more comments. I think I should start by acknowledging that people are very frustrated with the homelessness situation. I am too, and frankly anyone I talk to is also frustrated.

But as I said before, it’s a complicated issue, and if we have any hope of solving it or reducing its impact, we need to remember that it is going to take time. What we cannot do (and this is important to remember) is think that some of the simple solutions that we read about on Facebook, admittedly borne out of frustration, are going to work. Or that the individual is somehow going to pull themselves up and get out of their predicament. Now, to be clear I am not saying that we give them a pass on personal responsibility and consequence of actions. What I am saying is that we need to help them.

Aside from the conflict between the personal rights of the homeless and the business/home owner, we do not as a society/community have a good process and division of labor. The county and the cities need to agree on how we work together, as well as where and how we address the challenge. No city wants to carry the whole load. We have a lot of stove pipe efforts in place staffed by some very good-hearted souls. But we can do better and should.

Stay informed, Be Kind, Remember your neighbor, and Stay safe!

Semper Fi, Mac Paul P. McNamara Mayor of Escondido - pmcnamara@escondido.org

Who needs what and why.

Smart phones, tablets, Chromebooks and notebook PCs are devices that facilitate mobility.

They allow users to communicate on the move. They tell us where we are, where we’re going and how to get there. They let us take our work with us and by tethering to the cellular network through a smart phone; we can stay connected to business and personal PC applications virtually anywhere.

Here at the Computer Factory our interest is largely limited to the four types of general purpose, Windows based PCs, notebooks, desktops, All-in Ones and Microcomputers. Cell phones, tablets, Apple products and Chromebooks are basically integrated proprietary products best bought from and serviced by authorized dealers.

This discussion is about Windows PCs and the applications and use patterns shared by the 90% of personal and business users. Day trading, high end gaming, crypto-currency mining, video/audio editing, solids modeling and other “power” applications require special high performance components. We build workstations for these applications but that’s not what we’ll be discussing today. Today we discuss how the four basic types of Windows PCs fit different needs and lifestyles.

NOTEBOOKS are the most versatile PCs. They have all the features of a desktop plus an integrated camera, they function as a stand- alone workstation, can be attached to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse, function anywhere, move between work, school and home, keep you connected on business trips, hospital stays or vacations.

They’re also great where space limitations are a factor.

constraint, micros are a great alternative.

DESKTOPS & ALL-IN-ONES are permanent workstations. They have dedicated locations at work and home and are designed for comfort and convenience. These workstations are the most versatile in terms of function because they can be set up to do anything that any computing or communication device can do. They have no technical limitations in terms of communications, speed, storage, memory or audio/video power. The basic difference between DESKTOPs (DT) and ALL IN ONES (AIO) is that in addition to having an integrated Webcam, the AIO has all of the functions of a DT integrated into its large 23-27 inch monitor. Using

wireless keyboard and mouse, the AIO has only one cord, the power cord. They are fully functional desktop computers with the appearance of just a monitor.

We got a special buy last week on some Dell 12 inch Chromebooks that we’re selling for only $60 while they last.

That’s it for this week. We have plenty of all four types of PCs in stock loaded with Windows 10 and ready to go. We can build you a custom PC or repair/upgrade your old one. If your old PC isn’t doing what you want it to do or moving as fast as you’d like it to move, bring it in for a free upgrade evaluation or trade in estimate.

MICRO’S weigh only two to three pounds and are about the size of a frozen chicken pot pie (7 X 7 X 1 inches). They have all the power, connections and bells and whistles of a twenty pound desktop. My son has a DJ gig and uses his Micro to carry his music, applications and set-up software between his home studio and the studio at the radio station. Another user is the CEO of a North County non-profit who carries his Micro between home and work with his entire up to date work environment in his jacket pocket or brief case. Where space is a severe

got its wires crossed. No one knew who had your money. For the record, when an airline cancels your flight, you're owed a full refund within seven business days. Lufthansa should have sent the refund to your agent, and your agent would have forwarded the money to you.

The wheels turned slowly after the outbreak. The pressure of hundreds of thousands of refunds made the gears of the airline refund machine grind to a halt. Certainly, some unscrupulous companies used the pandemic as an excuse to hold on to your money, giving them an interest-free microloan.

But most businesses were just overwhelmed.

Your credit card dispute didn't help, unfortunately. The dispute is a last resort when all negotiations and appeals have failed. And believe it or not, SkyLux was still working on your refund request. So when it received your chargeback, it fought the chargeback and won.

Before the dispute, you might have appealed to a manager at SkyLux. I publish the names, numbers and email addresses of the <a href="https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/skylux-travel-customerservice-contacts/">customer service managers at SkyLux</a> on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.

It looks as if your credit card company tried to contact SkyLux, but it didn't always respond (except to dispute the charges). I find it strange that your credit card issuer would side with the ticket broker, anyway. It might have done so because you were past the 60day limit to dispute your charges. But a bank may still choose to help you under certain circumstances.

Also, it looks like Lufthansa charged you a $250 cancellation fee even though the airline canceled your flight.

I'd like to think that was a pandemic error, too.

I contacted SkyLux, and it sent you a full refund.

felt. This is the feeling that got you out of bed.

You see, humans have long believed that dogs weren’t that smart. But this is a myth. In many ways, they are wiser than humans.

Some humans could never feel as intensely as dogs can feel. Most humans could never be as loyal, diligent, steadfast, or selfless as a dog.

And these canine virtues don’t come easy, they take real brains. A lot more brains than the human race has, apparently.

Don’t believe me? How about this?

Throughout history, how many wars have dogs ever started? How many cars do dogs hijack? Do dogs ever embezzle millions of dollars and end up in prisons with tennis courts?

No. And that’s why you’re not scared to depart from this world.

Because your doggy heart is true, and it knows about the beauty that awaits. All dogs know about The Far-Off Place.

Heaven is practically instinctual within all animals. It’s a given. It’s obvious. It is only humans, educated beyond their own intelligence, who doubt the existence of a hereafter.

But a dog possesses awareness of the divine. If they didn’t, they could never treat life as they do. Like an adventure.

You can already feel your paws and tail getting numb. And your mother is really sobbing now. You don’t have long.

It occurs to you that you need to get a message through to your mom, and fast. You want to tell her something important. You want to bear your soul. But all you can do is lock eyes with her.

She stares back at you. And in this flickering moment of mutual acknowledgment, you hope she can read your mind.

More than anything you want her to know how much you enjoyed being her baby. And how much you love her, and how much joy she brought you. You also wish she’d quit blaming herself for your end. It’s nobody’s fault. This is merely part of being a dog. Nobody said it was going to be easy. You knew this going into it.

Soon, your eyes close. Slowly. And you can feel a final breath exit your lungs like a great gulf breeze. Your chest collapses. And you are gone. It only takes a moment.

Then…

You open your eyes.

You find yourself in a world of blinding light, greeted by giant abalone gates, swinging outward.

Beyond these gates are pastures, hayfields, and zillions of dogs just like you. Every animal is running, chasing butterflies, tongues draping out, eyes like puppies, barking with joy. They are having the times of

their lives.

What a marvelous place this is. It’s just like you thought it would be.

You can’t wait to sniff every tree, lap from every creek, and roll in every meadow.

Even so. You don’t wander into eternal joy. Not yet. Which doesn’t surprise the ancient one who made you.

Instead, you sit beside the tall gate, at attention, completely still. You’re watching. Waiting. Your eyes don’t blink. Your tail isn’t wagging. And all the other dogs in heaven know exactly what you’re doing. And they know that you will sit in this spot for as long as it takes until your mom comes home.

Because as I said, this is what dogs do.
