While watching news coverage of the drought in the Midwest, I was surprised when I heard the newscaster’s comparison to the dust bowl The Paper - 760.747.7119

conditions just after the Great Depression.

The country’s current drought covers parts of Kansas, Colorado, South Dakota, and the western regions of both Iowa and

Minnesota.

The greatest threat is for our country’s two largest crops; corn and soybeans which are grown i n Nebraska, where 100 percent of the state remains in severe to extreme drought conditions.

This is the worst U.S. drought since the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s. Last year corn production was cut by the largest amount in 17 years

and the soybean output was at a four-year low. As sup-

plies have dwindled, the commodity prices have continued to surge to new all time highs.

The U.S. is the world’s biggest producer of both crops.

Sierra Nevada mountain range may increase drought conditions and limit waterresources. The major threat from the dry weather conditions will be the limitations for sufficient irrigation of the fruit and vegetable crops in California.

The 1930’s brought with it a drought that was both long and brutal. The effects and destruction are still evident today, over 80 years later.

The wells began to dry up, unable to sweat out one more drop of water. The long plush grasses of the plains as well as the farmland crops were dying. The earth, once lush and rich, had become so parched and dry, cracking under the pressure of the heat, begging for relief.

In 1932 alone there were 14 severe dust storms. Hot dry winds began whipping across the plains of Colorado, Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma.

The next year brought 38 more storms. Within those three short years, it was estimated over 100 million acres

of precious top soil, had simply blown away.

A dark cloud hung over our country, as the savagery of the storms raged on. The worst of the storms, on April 14, 1935, was nicknamed “Black Sunday.” Gale force winds were clocked at 60 to 70 miles an hour and the region began to be known as the “Dust Bowl.”

A name coined by an Associated Press reporter.

Cars came to a standstill, as drivers could not see beyond the windshield. Caught in their own yards, people groped desperately for their doors, trying to escape the cloud of dust choking the light and life from all it touched.

The full impact of the dust storms’ devastation was felt all over the country. In April of 1935, one of FDR’s advisors, Hugh Hammond Bennett was in Washington D.C. testifying before congress.

He was speaking regarding the need for soil conservation legislation, when a dusty gloom cast its shadow of dust across the sky.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."

8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days.

Then the mud fell off.

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!"

10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'.

12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.

The effects of the storms’ devastation had been carried from the Great Plains of the Midwest to our nation’s capital.

“This, gentlemen,” said Bennett, pointing to the sky, “is what I have been talking about.”

Congress passed the soil conservation bill that same year.

Unfortunately, the lack of topsoil now rendered the land useless for farming and the pasturing of cattle.

Only grazing animals with one stomach; sheep, antelope and deer could eat and survive on the harsh brush grasses and weeds growing in abundance on our nations’ prairies. A desolate, bleakness now hovered, where lush green grasses once flourished.

An Escondido resident, Bill Norman, the second son of Beatrice and Roy Norman, was born on April 24, 1935, in Childress, Texas, just ten days after Black Sunday.

Childress seemed to be at the center of the storm. The dirt and sand was blown up against houses as high as the windowsills. Door openings

13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?" I said, "Dust!"

(All of these were attributed to Red Skelton, Henny Youngman and/or George Jessel.)

Biblical Truth

For those who haven't heard, Washington State just passed both laws - gay marriage and legalized marijuana.

The fact that gay marriage and marijuana were legalized on the same day makes perfect biblical sense because Leviticus 20:13 says "If a man lies with another man, they should be stoned."

We just hadn't interpreted it correctly before!

had to be shoveled clear to enable the occupants to enter or exit.

The construction of old prairie homes was poorly done. During the storms of the 1930’s, dust would fill homes, finding entry through cracks and fissures in the siding or windows. Residents would dust themselves off each morning as they clambered out of bed, shaking the dust from the bedclothes and pillows.

The tables, chairs, stoves, and floors were covered with a thick layer of dust, which was swept up each day to no avail.

Try as they would to fill the cracks, attempting to stop the dust from entering, it was pointless, there were just too many. The dust was unstoppable.

It’s been over 76 years since the storms ravaged the Great Plain states. Inhabitants of the time, already struggling to survive the after effects of the Great Depression, were now hit even harder as the ability ‘Black Sunday’ Cont. on Page 3

to grow food for survival was taken away. The storms were the final blow. The Norman family, coming to terms with the graveness of their situation, made a tough decision to relocate and left the only home they’d known, for an unsure future in California.

Many other families found it very difficult to accept the reality and graveness of the circumstances at hand.

Unable to grow crops, or grasses for their livestock to survive and give nourishment to their families, they had to face the severity of the situation and also made the decision to relocate their families.

The Texas Panhandle was so hard hit by the devastation of the storms, the disbelief lingered even as residents packed their cars to leave. Like most of the people in the surrounding areas, the Norman’s friends and neighbors were extremely poor.

Already struggling to feed and clothe their families, they lacked dependable cars and sported This very little money. caused great distress for the uncertainty of the struggle and times ahead. Faced with no other alternatives or options, a voyage was begun across an ocean of dry earth in a quest to find a new land to begin life anew.

It was to be a difficult journey, fraught with personal struggle and financial hardships causing many physical and mental wounds, some lasting more than a lifetime, as it touched generations to come.

A mass migration of humanity began. Multi-generation families loaded rattletrap cars and trucks to the breaking point; overloaded as they packed everything they needed for a fresh start, leaving behind their land, their homes and their past; for a new and promising future out west. Roy Norman and his brother, RC, joined the endless convoy of vehicles, canvas bags of water clutching the side of their already over packed 1930, Model “A” Ford Roadster.

They fell in line behind other families, joining the parade of

humanity making the same trek, caravanning across our country toward a new and uncertain future. Roy was saddened as he left his wife Beatrice and two small children behind in the care of his father Walter.

Many times, the Norman brothers were camped beside carloads of other families who became new friends; sharing a fire, a meal, a song, or just a laugh. There was a sense of belonging and community, as they camped next to other families who were experiencing the same plight.

The young, the old, weak and strong, little babies and the elderly, all came together as they fought to survive.

Some families were heading to Safford, Arizona, where the farming was great, while others were hoping to start a new life in Oregon or Washington State.

The Normans decided to try their luck in the lush farmlands of California.

They limped down Highway 80 toward the California coast, stopping only long enough to rest, or help out one of their newfound friends suffering a vehicle breakdown.

If breakdowns were serious enough, vehicles became temporary shelters for some families and for others permanent, as they found themselves unable to continue their journey. The generosity of families struggling along the way was amazing, as one after another fellow travelers stopped to leave some food and water for the stranded comrades they passed along the way.

During this mass exodus the failure rate of the old cars was high. Roy and RC Norman found themselves driving past many of these shelters, witnessing the once hopeful faces of other families looking on in defeat and desperation.

There were a lot of job opportunities in California.

The building of factories in the Los Angeles area had taken off, building airplanes and weaponry in preparation for the possibility of an upcoming war.

There was quite an abundance of farming and dairy work in California as well.

The surrounding lands were rich with flourishing crops.

In the San Joaquin and Imperial Valleys there were orchards and fields of crops as far as the eye could see. The Norman brothers were amazed. There were vast opportunities to become a fisherman for anyone wishing to pursue that endeavor.

Although the path to their new life was paved with many obstacles, Roy and RC felt they made the best decision. It turned out, they were right. Food along the highways was expensive and the gas stations were scattered and few. Though small, the little Ford truck got terrible gas mileage, due to the weight of the tremendous load it carried.

Roy and RC Norman decided to take any work they could find along the way, in order to keep themselves fed and gas in the Roadster. To get to Arizona the brothers needed to find a few days work. The first chance to work was in eastern New Mexico. On more than one occasion they realized they had gravely miscalculated their expenses and had to search for work again in order to continue their journey.

The competition for the few jobs available was tough and the brothers were fortunate, as they worked and drove, hop-skipping their way across New Mexico to Arizona.

The small, sandy dunes along the shoulder of Highway 80 were like heaven to the Norman brothers.

After sleeping cramped in the small car for two to three weeks, the drifts of sand were like sleeping on a down mattress.

They had no idea of the danger they faced sleeping on the sand. The brothers were oblivious to the presence of rattlesnakes, Gila monsters and scorpions who call the sandy desert home.

Once the brothers arrived in Yuma, Arizona, they found work digging trenches for a gas station’s underground tanks. Competition for jobs was fierce. Desperate for work the dust bowl immigrants worked harder and cheaper than most of the locals and anyone with Texas plates on their vehicles had to park with the plates hidden.

April 04, 2013 - Page 3

Many fights broke out between the dust bowl immigrants and the locals while competing for jobs.

Another impediment for the Dust Bowl’s misplaced migrants was at the California/Arizona border.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department positioned themselves at the border crossing and refused to let anyone from the Dust Bowl region enter into California without proving they had sufficient funds to care for themselves.

Most families arrived at the border with very little gas, no food and no money and were saddened to be turned away realizing their promised land and their opportunity for a better life lay just across the border. Tent communities, also known as shanty towns began to pop up as people running out of hope and money were unable to move on.

The A.C.L.U. filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles in 1936.

The Supreme Court issued a stay against Los Angeles due to the Interstate Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, stating Los Angeles had no authority to prevent any U.S. citizen from crossing state lines.

The Norman brothers were fortunate to earn enough money to give them a decent start in California and timed their border crossing into the state soon after the Supreme Court ruling.

After Roy and RC arrived in Escondido they camped along with many others in a small tent camp at the corner of Broadway and Grant Street (now known as Mission).

The brothers were hired by the Von Seggren Brothers Dairy. It took several paydays to earn and save enough money to allow Beatrice and Roy’s two small children to relocate to Escondido. The dairy work was hard and the hours were long. RC made the decision to proceed to Los Angeles to work in an aircraft factory, while Roy continued to work at the dairy.

Valley Center in Uproar of Demolition of CCC Buildings

Over 400 concerned Valley Center citizens had signed a petition, presented to the Valley Center Pauma Unified School District, at a hearing on Thursday, March 14th, to consider “an update on California Department of Forestry property.”

At issue was the question of whether to retain and rehab, or to demolish the CCC buildings on that property, more commonly known as the Cal Fire Barracks, and located on Cole Grade Road.

The Superintendent, Dr. Lou Obermeyer, had indicated for some time that she wanted the property cleared so she could use it as a parking lot.

Residents wanted the property retained and given an opportunity to rehab it.

Several parties, including Bob Lerner, Director of the Valley Center Historical Museum, and Jon Vick, Chair of the CCC Interest Group spoke. Then, Arie de Jong,

longtime business owner and philanthropist, stepped forward and offered to buy the property for $230,000, to rehab it, and to return it to the school district in one year. He sought no profit, returning it to the district in Grade A condition, for the same $230,000 he had purchased it for. He would have absorbed all expenses, would have provided liability insurance, fencing, brought the buildings up to meet and/or exceed code requirement.

An audible gasp eruped from the audience when Mr. De Jong made this offer. It had not been anticipated and the audience clearly felt this was a most generous offer.

or the points raised by other speakers, took a unanimous vote to have the buildings demolished.

The following Monday, they were bulldozed.

As a result, many Valley Center residents are furious.

They are accused by the attorney for the CCC Interest Group, Kevin Johnson, of violating the Brown Act by discussing the agenda item outside of the public hearing and already having made their decision, of not being in compliance with a variety of laws regarding public notice of a hearing, of not properly placing the item on the agenda as a hearing, of taking action on the agenda item even though the public was not properly informed ahead of time , that instead of hearing an update on the property, as indicated on the agenda, they took an illegal action and voted to demolish the property.

The attorney demanded the district “cure or correct” the issue, and to “cease and desist” any further violations of the Brown Act.

Superintendent Obermeyer’s only comment was: “We have retained legal counsel.”

In talking to the principals, The Paper learned that Bob Lerner had spoken personally to the contractor on site, and that a reporter from the UT contacted the demolition company in Anaheim, which confirmed they had received the order three weeks prior; Lerner was told the same by the contractor on site. It was also reported that the contractor had removed all asbestos before the public meeting. The foreman on the job said they had been given the specific instructions for demolition one week prior to the demolition.

Again, it’s those damned radical folks who get control of government and then subject their peaceful and gentle people to the tragedies of war.

Letter to the Editor A Discussion on Marriage

One has to wonder about our national priorities. We don’t balance budgets, really win wars, care for veterans properly, reform tax codes or modernize education and transportation systems, but we can find endless time and resources to consider the merits of letting John marry Fred and Hilda to wed Jane.

Currently even our esteemed Supreme Court justices agonize over recognizing the civil right of the “gay community” to live legally in wedded bliss with the same responsibilities and benefits as so called “straight” citizens.

The answer to the gay mar-

riage issue is, simply put, to abolish the word marriage from defining our personal relationships. Over half of the marriages in the United States end in divorce in less than ten years. A major portion of male/female cohabitation and a growing percentage of births are outside of the traditional definition of marriage.

The word husband no longer defines the male role of protector, head of household, provider. Wife no longer principally denotes homemaker with primary responsibilities of birthing and raising children. In many cases today the traditional roles of marriage partners are reversed.

We haven’t even spoken of the families today resulting from 2nd or 3rd weddings and children from different combinations of parents.

Sadly, after 62 years of conventional, traditional marriage, I’m ready to acknowledge that the word marriage today apparently denotes absolutely nothing. We need another word or term that can easily be applied to accommodate the endless variety of cohabiting relationships that exist today. If Fred wants to wed Harry and upon

his demise wants Harry to have the BMW, so be it. If Wanda weds Phyllis and adopts little Johnny, but later dissolves the relationship there should be no more question of child custody and support than in any other legal relationship.

Lets not call these relationships”Marriage.”

Lets not refer to the participants in these cohabiting relationships as “Husband” or “Wife.” Frankly it’s offensive to those of us who have lived our vows seriously while enduring the ups and downs of that lifetime relationship traditionally defined as marriage. Maybe the traditional state of marriage is in transition to something else and may God bless whatever it is and it’s participants. Bless them all by whatever he chooses to call them, but just don’t call them married and don’t call it a marriage.

The Paper’s objection to the proposed loan by the city of Escondido to the Chamber of Commerce.

The main function of the Chamber of Commerce is fostering economic growth in Escondido.

Business growth means more jobs.

Business growth means more sales, which generate sorely needed sales tax revenue for the city.

It appears to me that helping the Chamber of Commerce is a good investment for the city, the Chamber, and the citizens of Escondido.

Very truly yours,

Dr. Valentina Obradovic, a pioneer in laser gum disease dentistry in the San Diego area, is reporting great success with the new Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure in her San Marcos, CA. office, Adriatic Dental. This advanced laser periodontal disease treatment is minimally invasive and shows long-term results.

Dr. Obradovic is part of only one percent of dental professionals in America who can offer this treatment. Now, with the LANAP treatment, a state of the art laser is used to remove the gum disease, and invasive

Adult patients across America numbering in the millions have gum disease. However, only a relatively small number of them get the treatment they really need. Whether it is out of fear of the standard periodontal disease treatment or because they haven't yet been diagnosed, the result is the same; the disease continues to progress. With the new LANAP protocol, apprehension about the procedure should be greatly lessened, which should aid more patients in seeking needed treatment.

Ultimately, gum disease can lead to receding gums and the loss of teeth. The FDA cleared PerioLase MVP-7 laser not only selectively removes the bacteria and unhealthy tissue, which reduces gum recession, but also stimulates the jawbone around the teeth to begin the natural regeneration process so that teeth can be saved.

The VC School Superintendent and Board destroyed an important piece of Valley Center's heritage by demolishing the 1933 CCC Camp on Cole Grade Road last week. This landmark that links us to our past is gone forever.

Public school superintendents and boards are stewards, not owners, of the public property entrusted to them; they are expected to protect, not destroy, community assets.

Our school officials disowned this responsibility. And they ignored pleas of more than 400 community leaders and citizens and San Diego County historians to preserve the CCC Camp buildings, and rushed their plan to bulldoze the historic site. The buildings were destroyed by noon on the Monday following the Thursday Board meeting.

The facts are:

1. The VC School Superintendent has been aware for three years of strong community and regional interest to preserve these historic buildings.

2. The property was acquired for public use with public money, paid by the taxpayers of CA and Valley Center.

3. The superintendent and the school board breached their ethical and legal obligation to operate openly and in good faith with citizens who elected them. Demolition of the site was ordered 3 weeks before the public meeting and asbestos was removed oneweek prior with the obvious intent of demolishing the site regardless of large scale public opposition.

4. Destruction of the historic buildings was ordered before considering public testimony or the generous offer of a local private philanthropist to rehabilitate the buildings and assume liability at no expense to the school.

Update on Windows 8

W8 (Windows 8) is five months old.

W8 is basically Windows 7 with a radically different UI (user interface) called “Metro.” The Metro UI is specifically designed for touch screen devices like smart phones, tablets and touch screen notebook PCs.

Microsoft was aware that the W8 Metro UI would be cumbersome for those using mouse and keyboard interface devices but Microsoft believed they could force PC users to adapt to the W8’s UI simply by refusing to sell Win 7 licenses to retail PC makers. Retail buyers would have no choice. Microsoft knew that large corporate customers would not accept W8 so

California’s Fracking Future

California’s Monterey Shale is home to billions of gallons of oil, oil that can be procured through the process of hydraulic fracturing.

Hydraulic fracturing, also called “fracking,” removes oil through horizontal drilling using pressurized fluid.

By developing our oil reserves, California could add up to 2.8 million jobs to the state. Additional tax revenues could amount to $24.6 billion. These jobs would have a tremendous impact on our state.

Unfortunately, state regulations restrict fracking in California, but supporters are working with the Administration to eliminate regulatory barriers. The

they continue to allow enterprise customers to buy PCs with Win 7.

Microsoft hoped that retail PC user acceptance of the Metro UI would lead to acceptance of the very similar Microsoft UI in smart phones and tablets. Microsoft owns 90% of the slow growing PC (operating system) market but only a tiny fraction of the rapidly growing smart phone and tablet business. With its future at stake, Microsoft was willing to take a chance on introducing W8 to PCs as a way to enhance its opportunities in phones and tablets. So after five full months, how’s that strategy working out for Microsoft?

PC sales are down and manufacturers like Samsung and Lenovo put the blame on Microsoft’s W8.

Lenovo has taken steps to re-introduce Win 7 back into their retail PC line of products. Microsoft stubbornly refuses to fix the Metro UI or back off from trying to force feed W8 to retail consumers. We all thought that the Windows Vista debacle was bad enough but five months after Vista’s introduction it had achieved 4.5% market share.

W8’s market share at the fivemonth mark is 2.5%.

The last time Microsoft offered deep discounts on an OS was six years ago when the “netbooks” were introduced. Microsoft had arrogantly refused to cut its XP OS price for use on these low cost portables so the netbook manufacturers simply installed a free Linux based OS and open source office suites. As netbooks gained popularity Microsoft suddenly awakened to the fact that a large segment of PC users were beginning to realize that they didn’t need Microsoft at all. Microsoft cut its XP pricing to a fraction of its old price in order to stave of the linux and open office threat.

Microsoft? In the five months since the W8 release Microsoft’s share of the smart phone business has gone from 3.2% to 3.1%. Microsoft’s introduction of the “Surface” tablet has been under-whelming in spite of a slick and clever mega-million dollar advertising campaign.

Has the W8 gamble paid off for

In summary, Microsoft’s ham-handed attempt to force W8’s deeply flawed UI on the consuming public has resulted in a crippling loss of retail PC sales and a negative halo effect over its ambitions in the smart phone and tablet arenas. Isn’t it about time to let Steve “Monkey Boy” Ballmer try out his golden parachute?

The Consequences of Prison Realignment in California

same claims that led to federal court action in the first place.

Faced with a massive consumer revolt Microsoft’s feeble response has been to offer steep discounts on the W8 OS to PC manufacturers.

state is drafting new regulations that could allow this industry to thrive in California.

While the regulatory process can be bureaucratic and slow, I am hopeful that companies may soon receive permission to drill more in California. We have the opportunity to emulate success seen in the 1960s when our state produced 400 million barrels of oil annually, our economy was strong and we had the best education system in the nation.

Let’s become a top oil producer once again and support economic development in our state.

In an effort to alleviate overcrowding and comply with federal court rulings, prison realignment was implemented with passage of AB 109 in 2011. As a result, thousands of “lower level” inmates are serving their sentences in county jails instead of state prisons.

While some results of realignment may be debatable, others are clear. For example, the number of paroled sex offenders who are fugitives in California is 15 percent higher than before realignment. County jails, designed for sentences of a year or less are housing more than 1000 inmates serving sentences of five years or more. In addition, inmate advocacy organizations have begun suing counties alleging poor housing and poor treatment, the

Consequently, a package of bills has been introduced to counter this growing threat to the public. This legislation includes bills requiring state prison time for criminals who remove their GPS tracking devices and a requirement that all sex offenders who violate parole be sent back to prison with state parole supervision. My bill, AB 1106, is part of this package.

AB 1106 grants counties immunity from inmate lawsuits based on conditions created by prison realignment.

Attempts to mitigate the results of prison realignment will be ongoing. This issue must be resolved quickly without further compromise to public safety.

This is a heartbreaking loss to Valley Center, and unnecessary. Other towns have demonstrated that there are innumerable uses for refurbished historical buildings – all of them more constructive, educational and inspiring than the superintendent’s stated intention of building a new school bus parking lot on the CCC site. Parking lots are a dime a dozen, aren’t they? Historical buildings are irreplaceable.

There should be consequences to our school superintendent and board for their dereliction of public trust, destruction of important, valuable historical community assets, violation of state laws, and for their failure to reflect the values of the community they represent.

Hengl was arrested on Nov. 16 after Oceanside police, investigating complaints of a lingering foul odor coming from Hengl’s home, found inside the dismembered remains of his 73 year-old wife, Anna Faris.

Faris’ severed head was in the freezer, and her body parts were cooking on the stove of the couple’s bungalow-style home.

Hengl’s defense attorney said her client denies killing his ailing wife, who suffered from late-stage Alzheimer's disease. Hengl faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of all charges, which include murder, willful cruelty to an elder and committing an unlawful act with human remains.

When he was arraigned in November, Hengl appeared frail in court, and his lawyer at the time requested he see

Escondido Teen Shot

Escondido cordoned off as a crime scene several blocks near Lincoln Avenue and Gamble Street last Saturday, following the shooting of a 17-year-old who was wounded in a drive-by shooting.

Witnesses reported hearing three gunshots about 9 p.m., Escondido police Sgt. Al Owens said.

The victim was shot in the stomach and was taken to a hospital in serious condition, police said. The gunman escaped in a black Honda or Toyota.

More Shootings in Oceanside

Oceanside police have been kept busy what with the rash of shootings reported within the city.

Most recently, on Monday, they were hunting for a group of men who shot at a pedestrian in Crown Heights, then ran off. During their getaway, they crashed the car they were driving.

Officers had responded to a number of 911 calls that reported gunfire on Grant Street near Division Street, around 10:45 a.m. Upon responding, officers found the crash scene on nearby Missouri Avenue.

Initial reports suggest the crashed car, a Ford Focus, had three of four passengers; that the car had pulled up alongside a man standing on a sidewark on Grant Street, and opened fire.

The wrecked Ford had been reported stolen from a nearby neighborhood, according to police.

Police are looking for the shooters as well as the man who was the target of the gunshots.

City Hall has been closed every Friday since July 2011 as part of an effort to reduce city expenses and cut a budget deficit. Furloughs, which affect all city employees except public safety workers, equaled a 5 percent pay cut.

The 2013-14 draft budget calls for projected revenue of $65.4 million and expenses of about $65 million. Under the new draft budget there appears to be enough room that such a plan could be enacted. After further review it will be submitted to the city council approval.
