The Paper September 27, 2012 issue

Volume 43- No. 39

by Claudia Aragon Recently while doing research on the Civil War, I came across a disturbing discovery. There is a new battle brewing in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

The new battle began initially in 2005 when developer David LeVan obtained a gaming license and proposed building a casino only two miles from the hallowed battlefield. The borough of The Paper - 760.747.7119

Gettysburg and the surrounding areas known for being tight knit communities, once again bore witness to civil conflict, as neighbor turned against neighbor, verbally and at times physically.

Just as the rest of the country has suffered due to a collapsing economy over the last eleven years, small communities such as Gettysburg are no exception. Looking for salvation in the form of new job prospects, the citizens turned

to the developers for deliverance and fulfillment. Half the community was fighting for preservation of sacred ground, while the other half fought for economic stability.

One can’t help but wonder: Once the door is open to the development of national monuments and treasures, where does the cancer of progress and expansion stop?

Will we allow gaming casinos at Ground Zero, Arlington Cemetery, the Washington

and Lincoln Memorials?

What about Pearl Harbor, the Vietnam Memorial or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?

If gaming is allowed to infringe on these sacred areas, the lessons honored and taught for well over a hundred years will be lost forever on the new generations to come, who need to learn from and embrace the lessons and mistakes of our nation’s past.

Page 2 - September 27, 2012 ‘Legacy’ Cont. from Page 1 Fortunately for Gettysburg and the country as a whole, in 2006 the gaming commission rejected LeVan’s bid to build a casino, due to its proximity to the battlefield. All was right in the world again, so to speak.

Then on July 23, 2009, in an act of philanthropic generosity, David LeVan, yes, the same one, donated a 61 acre parcel to the Gettysburg Foundation. The parcel of land lay directly adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Museum and Visitor Center.

Known as the Baltimore Pike, Gettysburg Easement, the property is located along the Baltimore Pike corridor adjacent to the Culp’s Hill area of the Gettysburg battlefield as well as the Museum and Visitor Center, and is in its entirety located within the boundary of the Gettysburg National Military Park, bringing the total acreage preserved to 700.

Some believe LaVan’s generosity was a smoke screen created to disguise his next

move. In 2010, with his eye on the Eisenhower Inn and Conference Center located in Cumberland Township, in Adams County, Pennsylvania, LeVan partnered with a group of unidentified investors and applied for a Category III slots license, which would allow no more than 500 slot machines in a facility.

According to the license requirements only the hotel guests or pass holders would be able to gamble within the gaming casino.

LaVan argued his proposed casino would bring much needed commerce and jobs to the small community. His newly devised plan was more demeaning to the fallen soldiers of 1863 than his original proposal in 2005.

The Eisenhower Inn stands a mere 3000 feet from the entrance to the National Park. The proposed resort would sit directly on the national scenic byway “Journey Through Hallowed Ground,” just minutes from locations of civil war carnage such as Pickett’s Charge.

Mason-Dixon Resort & Casino told a public hearing on Tuesday, August 31, 2010, that the 70,000-square-foot resort with 50 gaming tables and 500 slot machines would violate a treasured piece of American history. Once more there was civil unrest as the casino war ensued.

Heated debates were held over who was right and who was wrong. Citizens were eagerly waiving petitions to be signed for their cause.

There wasn’t any sand, the line was being drawn in the Gettysburg battlefield and cemetery.

This time LaVan’s plan proposed building his state of the art casino approximately a half mile from the hallowed site. The community at large was once more split, embattled over the site of the three day battle which took place in 1863 on the 1st through the 3rd of July.

Several engagements ensued around the four acre site of the first shot, which occurred at Knoxlyn Ridge, just west of the borough of Gettysburg proper, to East Calvary Field on the eastern side of 10.

Gettysburg. Prior to this confrontation all military engagements were located at the Gettysburg Railroad trestle extending over Rock Creek, which was subsequently burned to the ground earlier on June 27, 1863.

At the close of the famous battle, there were almost 22,000 wounded still laying on the battlefield and 8,900 dead. The wounded were subsequently treated at the Camp Letterman hospital or at field hospitals nearby.

Makeshift hospitals and rehab centers sprang up in churches, homes and surrounding buildings, as the war torn community rallied together to save everyone they could.

They were no longer brother fighting brother or neighbor against neighbor, North against the South.

The enormous amount of human waste and carnage helped the populace at large to regain and embrace their humanity.

The sheer number of casualties and battles during the Civil War boggles the mind.

For the nation and world at large, just like the Alamo, when the Civil War is mentioned, they always remember Gettysburg, which is in large part due to Lincoln’s visit and the Gettysburg Address.

acreage.

By the 16th of September, 1863, the Gettysburg battlefield protection had begun with the monies raised and 600 acres were obtained, including the purchase of the heights of Cemetery Hill, Little Round Top and the Culp’s Hill land.

On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln arrived by train and delivered the Gettysburg address at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery, which was completed five months later in March 1864 with the last of the 3,512 Union soldiers reburied.

Gettysburg was reburied in the national cemetery.

Casino opposition did a shout out to enlist the power of Hollywood elite to help spread the cry of "Save Gettysburg." To fight back, developer David LeVan pitched his plan for the Mason Dixon Resort & Casino as a well-established concept in other historical places such as Vicksburg, Mississippi and Deadwood, South Dakota. He went on to further state how a casino can bring tourists, investment and tax revenue to the Gettysburg area; failing to realize the national park already accomplishes those same three points.

The fierce opponents to the casino project responded to LeVan with a polished video featuring filmmaker Ken Burns, actors Sam Waterston and Matthew Broderick, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author David McCullough.

The video also featured local residents who stated the casino's approval would betray everyone in the country’s

David Warren was one of the many contractors hired to bury the overwhelming amount of dead soldiers and animals. The majority were buried where they fell.

Graves were scattered like petals on the wind across the hills, fields and meadows.

Samuel Weaver was in charge of overseeing the burials.

Within two days of the battles end, the first trainloads of battlefield visitors came to witness the devastation firsthand.

On July 10, 1863, Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin visited Gettysburg and expressed the state’s interest in locating its dead and wounded veterans.

Once soldiers were identified the Attorney David Wills arranged for the purchase of 17 acres of the Cemetery Hill battlefield land to be used for a cemetery, which is now known only as Cemetery Hill.

On August 14, 1863, another attorney, David McConaughy recommended the implementation of a preservation association and consequently sold membership stock in order to purchase parcels of battlefield

Cinda Waldbuesser, of the National Parks Conservation Association, spoke at the hearing and stated, "This petition is signed by Americans nationwide and shows that this is much more than a local issue.

Gettysburg National Military Park is a national treasure that belongs to all Americans."

The following letter is a plea on behalf of the people in the areas surrounding the National monument and of Gettysburg and contains only the first 223 signatures.

Mr. David LeVan, Owner Battlefield Harley Davidson 21 Cavalry Field Road Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 17325 Dear Mr. LeVan: As citizens of Adams County, Pennsylvania, we are writing to respectfully request that you reconsider applying for a state license to place a casino in the Eisenhower Inn and All Star Complex on the Emmitsburg Road south of Gettysburg, just one-half mile from the boundary of the Gettysburg National Military Park.

We acknowledge the numerous good works you have done for the Gettysburg community, and we ask that you, in the same spirit of civic responsibility, change your mind.

The strong southern women of Richmond, Savannah, Charleston, and Raleigh, created the Ladies Memorial Association and with their help 3,320 bodies were disinterred and sent to the cemeteries in those cities for reburial, between 1870 and 1873.

Approximately 2,935 confederate soldiers were reburied in the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia.

Seventy-three bodies of the recovered soldiers were reburied in home cemeteries.

LeVan argued back that his $75 million project would generate 375 jobs and save 100 more in the existing hotel. He further argued recent opinion polls had shown 60 percent of the local populace supported his plan.

His opponents however, disagreed having collected more than 30,000 signatures from around the country. The stacked petitions were in multiple cardboard boxes marked "Save Gettysburg."

At the gaming board hearing, the boxes were placed in front of the five board members and the pro-bono video produc-

In 2005 and 2006, a similar debate over the previous Gettysburg casino proposal tore Adams County apart.

Recently, former Borough Council president Dick Peterson called that controversy the “most divisive” event of his tenure. Speaking to The Gettysburg Times, he said, “That split everyone asunder. It wasn’t just the council that was split, the whole community was split on the issue. That was something that I think we were all glad when it was over, and we all came out somewhat scarred with bandages.”

This new casino plan could be far more contentious, since this ‘Legacy’ Cont. on Page 13

The city of San Marcos released details on compensation of its city council members last week. It shows that $49,286 went to Councilmember Chris Orlando, $44,229 to Councilwoman Kristal Jabara, Councilwoman Rebecca Jones received $37,647, and Councilman Hal Martin received $29,485.

Actual salary is $11,356 (with Hal Martin receiving slightly higher at $11,515 because he accepted a 1% cost of living increase, whereas the other councilmembers did not).

The balance of compensation comes in the form of a car allowance of $3600 per year, plus health insurance (which varies from councilmember to councilmember, based on number of dependents and upon options chosen, as well as contributions to PERS and other basic contributions,

Opposition Group Formed to Oppose Mira Costa Bond Issue Stop Taxing Us Forms Alliance to Fight School Bonds and Tax Increases Stop Taxing Us, a taxpayer advocacy/tea party group has formed an alliance with other local tax advocacy, tax watchdog and tea party groups to oppose a series of school bonds. According to Dr. Gary Gonsalves, Co-Founder of Stop Taxing Us, “This alliance was formed after an outcry from community members, many of whom are voting on THREE bonds, in addition to income tax increases and sales tax increases.”

Of particular interest to readers of The Paper is The Mira Costa Community College school bond, as that is well within our distribution area.

Other bonds opposed by the group include the San Dieguito High School District school bond and the Del Mar school bond.

Says Dr. Gonsalves, “the people of San Diego County are being plagued with bond initiatives, which historically pass when placed on ballots during presidential elections.”

Rhonda Deniston notes, however, “History will not repeat itself this year, as local taxpayer advocacy groups, despite being heavily out-funded, are better organized than ever. Our reach numbers in the hundreds of thousands.”

MiraCosta wants to add seven new buildings and make improvements, service utilities, roads and landscaping, however MiraCosta is operating below capacity say Dr. Gonsalves and Ms. Deniston.

MiraCosta is projecting a 2.4% increase in annual student growth, even though area K-12 enrollment (feeder

Dr Gonsalves notes, “This simply makes no sense.

Enrollments are down and projected to fall and schools are operating below capacity throughout the county. So bond proponents are talking about needing technology.

Technology, after all, sounds sexy. The reality is that the technology of today is out-dated in a few short years, but the taxpayers are on the hook for DECADES. As a physician with a degree in Engineering and further studies in Microbiology I can tell you that technology is not the answer.

The requirements for learning are a teacher who loves to teach, a student who wants to learn, and a meeting of these two minds.”

Under the current economic uncertainty, as a result of California’s 10.7% unemployment (second highest in the nation), under-employment, decreased property values and inflation, now is not the time to plague taxpayers with additional tax increases.

Sally is Pet of the Week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. She's a 2-month-old, 2 pound, spayed, female, Buff colored Tabby kitten.

Sally was transferred to RCHS from another shelter through our FOCAS program. Something unusual about little Sally is that she's a buff colored female. Buff colored cats are generally boys.

(Just like Calico cats are usually girls.) Her creamy coat and big dark eyes make her a stunningly beautiful kitten.

Sally's adoption fee of $195 includes up to date vaccines, veterinary exam, spay, and microchip. If you can't adopt her, maybe you can sponsor her until her new family arrives.

Meet Sally at Rancho Coastal Humane Society, 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas. Adoption hours are 11 to 5 Wednesday through Monday. For more information call 760-753-6413 or log on to www.sdpets.org.

I would hope to see him again and at least try to engage him in conversation, just to see if he needed someone to talk to.

If not, I’ll butt out.

Arthur is currently living in a foster home, and his guardians report that he is the perfect house guest because he’s so laidback and relaxed. He is social with other dogs and friendly toward everyone he meets.

Arthur is available for adoption from the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. His $25 adoption fee in September includes neuter, microchip, up-to-date vaccinations and vet exam.

This program was developed to help regional leaders create and implement strategic action plans to increase exports, thus accelerating economic growth and job creation.

Nome and Paul Van Middlesworth thecomputerfactoryltd.com The Computer Factory Technology Wars: Backing up a bit.

We try to make our column informative and/or entertaining. According to several readers last week’s column was neither. The problem is that we began describing some of the complicated Internet strategies between the major player without thinking about the fact that terms and concepts that we deal with every day are often not well understood by many of our readers. It was suggested that we back up and define some of the terms we take for granted like browsers and search engines. Understanding what they are and who owns what is key to understanding the strategies of the major players in the multibillion-dollar world of the Internet. Apple is not a part of this conversation because Apple browsers/search engines are not significant competition on the

Honoring Our Veterans

By Senator Mark Wyland & Assemblyman Martin Garrick

Browser: “The primary purpose of a web browser is to bring information resources to the user ("retrieval" or "fetching"), allow them to view the information ("display", "rendering"), and then access other information ("navigation", "following links") WIKEPEDIA. The browser is your gateway to the Internet. Today’s major players in order of market share are Google “Chrome,” Microsoft “Internet Explorer,” and Mozilla’s “Firefox”.

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has been embedded in all of Microsoft’s operating systems since “Windows 95.”

Earlier, 90% of Internet surfers used “Netscape Navigator.” IE quickly replaced Netscape and by 2002 IE served over 90% of Internet users.

Netscape morphed into Mozilla and then Fire Fox and eventually regained a respectable share of the browser business. Since 2008 its share has wavered between 25% and 30%.

untouched, “Chrome” took the lead in browser market share from IE. I switched from IE to “Chrome” when it passed IE a few weeks back and wished I’d done it years ago. Chrome is much faster and more intuitive than IE. It takes about 10 minutes to make the switch and it is well worth it.

Search Engine: The Search Engine uses the browser as a highway to navigate the Internet to find and retrieve specific information as requested by the user. The major players today in order of world market share are Google 80%, Yahoo 7%, Baidu 5% (China) and Microsoft’s Bing 4%.

As the Internet grew and servers proliferated, information gathering became more and more complicated.

Early Internet users like The Military, Universities, and large Corporations developed their own software to help navigate the jumble of information stored willy-nilly across the Internet.

There were hundreds of such search engines.

As the Internet began to come into common use by regular folks, the competition to become the dominant Internet search engine became fierce.

Yahoo was the big early winner and still holds second place worldwide.

Next week we’ll continue the discussion on how the owners of these assets use them to make money, fight for market share and how they fit into future product plans.

Google’s browser, “Chrome,” was introduced in 2008 and has rapidly eaten into IE’s dominance. In mid 2012, while Fire Fox’s browser market share remained relatively

The Miramar National Cemetery, however, is located off the Nobel exit on northbound I-805; miles from both gates at MCAS Miramar and inaccessible from the base.

We recently joined many notable retired military at the gates of Miramar National Cemetery to call upon CALTRANS to fulfill its pledge to install freeway signs off I-805 designating the appropriate exits for the Miramar National Cemetery.

We displayed photos of strategically placed freeOver the course of sever- way signs of other al months, requests by national cemeteries Fort Rosecrans and throughout the state Miramar National including LA National Cemetery Support Cemetery, Sacramento Foundation for direc- Valley VA National tional signs were denied Cemetery, Riverside

National Cemetery, and Bakersfield National Cemetery and called upon CALTRANS to provide similar signage to honor our veterans. It shouldn’t have taken a press conference held by a Senator and Assemblyman to get a state agency to honor America’s greatest heroes.

This sentiment was echoed by Brig. General Robert “Bob” Cardenas, USAF Ret. Speaking on behalf of Fort Rosecrans and Miramar National Cemetery Support Foundation he said, “Today, some 1,500 heroes are buried at Miramar National Cemetery. By the time the cemetery is

complete, 162,000 veterans will be buried here. It is important to the veterans of San Diego and to their families that CALTRANS honor its pledge to erect directional signage to the cemetery.”

As a result of our work, CALTRANS has agreed to install the signs in six weeks. Rocky Chavez, former acting Secretary California Department of Veterans Affairs said, “Cemeteries are not just a place where heroes go to rest, cemeteries are a place where we as citizens go to celebrate our freedom. It’s only appropriate that signs point people in the right direction.”

LeVan and his Mason Dixon Casino partners sued the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, asserting they were biased in their choice of failing to choose an established up-scale resort in Western Pennsylvania over a run-down hotel next to one of America's most valued national heritage sites.

The battle is far from over.

Whether it’s an historic icon like the Statue of Liberty or Mount Rushmore, Yosemite or Yellowstone, there will always be someone capitalistic looking out for number one, not giving a second thought to the sanctity of the landscape or the animals we were sworn to protect.

Whether its big oil or gaming, the community and nation aren’t always the winners they profess we’ll be. We need to wake up, be aware and stand up for what’s right, even in the face of strong arm opposition.

Common Words ‘Chuckles’ Cont. from Page 2 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!

Believe it or not, I took a bus home. Yes, a bus. I arrived home safely and without incident. This was really a surprise to me since I have never driven a bus before.

3. We’ve suddenly decided that we want to kick someone’s butt, and honestly believe we could do it, too.

7. We’ve found a deeper/spiritual side to the geek sitting next to us.

8. We yell at the bartender, who we believe cheated us by givings us just lemonade, but that’s just because we can no longer taste the Chardonnay.

Or the bath mat.

10. We fail to notice that the toilet lid is down when we sit on it.

11. WE take our shoes off because we believe it’s their fault that we’re having problems walking straight.
