by nearly all place kickers today. Dempsey’s accomplishment led to the NFL passing a rule requiring that all footgear be “normal” regardless of the kicker’s personal situation. He is most widely known for his NFL record 63-yard field goal, kicked in the final five seconds to give the New Orleans Saints a 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions. This record still stands, although it was equaled by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos on Oct. 25, 1998. For more information on the Dempsey sculpture project, contact John Wadas at jwwadas@aol.com.

Museum of Art to visit with a bus/group the Pacific Palisades Paul Getty Villa Museum. The bus was comfortable with an excellent friendly driver. Bill and Debra, our hosts, were informed and friendly. We got to the museum near noontime and had lunch. My friend and I met her daughter (pre-arranged) and decided to tour the Aztec Exhibit and others ourselves instead with the group. Bill, the host, asked me to take extra pictures to be used by our museum in their newsletter (I did). The exhibits and grounds were outstanding. We came away feeling like Roman/ Aztec. I will be checking with senior centers and take other day-trips. William Hart Carlsbad

violating his probation in his Pennsylvania DUI cases by being drunk in public. Judge Harry Elias said he agreed with Griswold, telling Cannon, “I believe you got the message now.” “I do your honor,” said Cannon, whose real name is Donald J. Clark. Cannon’s sentence was the minimum mandatory jail time for the offense. Last December, Cannon pleaded guilty to one felony count of DUI relating to his arrest for the offense seven months earlier in May in 2009. As part of his plea agreement, the broadcaster had faced up to one year in jail. On Nov. 17, 2009, police arrested Clark for two outstanding bench warrants relating to two DUI convictions out of Allegheny County. Earlier that day Clark had been in a Vista courtroom where he pleaded guilty to a March 29, 2009, misdemeanor DUI arrest near his home in Carlsbad. In both California DUI arrests, police said Clark’s blood-alcohol level was more than .30. California’s legal limit is .08.
