Let’s Give Pets Their FREE Best Shots And Make Happy Memories

Petco Love and Bissell Pet Foundation are once again joining paws with your Rancho Coastal Humane Society and other community service organizations to provide FREE vaccinations for pets. If your pet is due for vaccinations, here’s what you need to know.

Thie FREE vaccination clinic will be this Saturday morning, March 18th, at One Safe Place - North County Family Justice Center at 1050 Val-

You don’t need an appointment, but you will need to register when you arrive. Registration starts at 8:30. Don’t be late. 178 pets (and their people) showed up at the last FREE vaccination clinic.

From 9:00 to 11:00 am, while supplies last, vaccines will be administered including DAPPv for dogs and HCP for cats. Other services include Rabies vaccinations and Microchips.

Your dog must be on a leash or in a carrier. Cats must be in carriers.

Visit the booths to learn about resources available for your pets and your two-legged family members.

During our first FREE vaccine clinic a little girl holding a puppy pointed and said, “Look Mommy. They could be brothers!” Sure enough. Her puppy and the puppy she was pointing at were from the same litter! The families exchanged numbers and set a puppy play date.

A Marine sitting off to the side with his two big dogs said, “I ship out next week. Some friends will take care of my dogs while I’m gone, but they said I had to get their vaccines updated before I go. I’ve been so busy getting ready to deploy that I haven’t been able to take them to the veterinarian. Thank you! You’re saving my dogs. They’ll be waiting for me when I get back.”

Even if you don’t need this, you probably know somebody who does. Spread the word. You might help to keep a family together or start a lifelong friendship.

Assistance League of Inland North County

Working with Escondido Unified High School District (EUHSD) Workability Program

The Assistance League of Inland North County depends on our generous supporters and donors for many things and that includes financial and in-kind donations. The clothing and household goods we receive from the public is the lifeblood of the Thrift Shop which in turn, is our primary source of funding for our programs.

During the pandemic and since, we experienced a tsunami of donations from the community as families stayed home and needed to make space for working and learning. However, there is an old saying “too much of a good thing...”. Not only were the storage areas in the Chapter House bursting at the seams, but we had a great deal of difficulty finding and keeping volunteers to work at our donation station outside the Chapter House. Hot sun, cold winds and occasional heavy lifting all contributed to a lack of regular help. Many days our shop managers had to help outside and neglect their regular duties because the donations were overwhelming. What to do?

Out of the blue, we received a call from the Escondido Unified High School District (EUHSD). They have a program called Workability wherein young people with special needs are given the opportunity to prepare for the workforce. They learn to show up on time, follow instructions, get along with co-workers and take pride in what they do.

We worked with an employee of the high school district responsible for this program, who had been looking for a place to train his team that was walkable to their office. This began to look like a perfect match. After some back and forth between the high school district and ourselves, an agreement was signed, and the young people started working. They come in the mornings and some afternoons when we take donations and are always accompanied by an EUHSD supervisor. Here we are, 18 months later and what has happened? The students have learned so much: how to greet our customers with respect, how to organize donations as they come in, offering receipts if necessary and taking the full carts of donations upstairs. Inside the building they have learned the basics of sorting and using the appropriate collection bins, so donations move from “a pile of stuff” to items ready for hanging, steaming, and moving to the shop floor.

Their social skills have improved, and they are much more open to engaging in conversation with other volunteers. We in turn have a team we can count on to help us with the ongoing deluge of donations to the Thrift Shop. The teacher and the entire staff are so appreciative of the Assistance League® of Inland North County. Their students are eager to go to work, motivated to provide a service to the community and so proud to receive their compensation from EUHSD at the end of each month.

All this is possible by the willingness of our chapter to open its doors and hearts to a population in need of an opportunity to prove themselves as contributors to the local community. And we are grateful for the ongoing support of EUHSD for the continuation of this program. This a true example of collaboration for the common good, so keep those donations coming, friends.

Assistance League of Inland North County is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit thrift shop in Escondido that puts caring and commitment into action through volunteerism, our thrift shop, and our nine philanthropic programs.

Earp from page 7 mately 40 seconds. Three days after the gunfight, Tombstone the City Council suspended Virgil as marshal pending outcome of a preliminary hearing. The three brothers were charged with murder by “Cowboy” ring leader Ike Clanton, but during a long hearing, Judge Wells Spicer ruled the three brothers and Holiday had acted within the law and dismissed the charges..

On Dec. 28, 1881, three men ambushed Virgil as he walked Fremont Street at night. Virgil was hit in the back and left arm by three loads of double-barreled buckshot. He was seriously wounded leaving his arm permanently crippled.

Late Saturday night, March 18, 1882, Morgan was ambushed and killed while playing a round of billiards. The assailant shot Morgan in the right side shattering his spine. He died within the hour.

Warren Earp was the least-known and the youngest brother. He was born in 1855, and for a short time also was a lawman. Although he was in Tombstone when Morgan was assassinated. Warren went on “Wyatt’s revenge” ride hunting the

“Outlaws” who he believed was responsible for Morgan’s death. Later in life, Warren developed a reputation as a bully and in 1900, was killed in a gunfight.

Wyatt eventually ended up in Los Angeles where he became a technical advisor for western films. He became good friends with stars such as William S. Hart and Tom Mix. Wyatt died at age 80 on Jan. 13, 1929. He is buried in Coloma, California next to his third common-law wife, Josephine (Josey).

Little is known about the brothers’ only sister, Adelia Earp. The history of the Earp brothers, for the most part, is true, with a fib or two sprinkled among the facts.

(Writer’s Note): In 1988, I interviewed the late Vista mayor Harrison Doyle, who had briefly encountered Wyatt Earp in the early 1920s when Doyle was 12 years old. He told me Earp was playing poker in Needles, California with railroad workers. It was the railroaders’ payday and, according to Doyle, “… easy pickins’ for a skilled poker player” like Earp. Doyle said he was a runner for Earp, keeping him supplied with ice for his beer.

While gourmets, gourmands and TV celebs offer new and exotic food with which to eat maple syrup, nothing beats the tried-and-true old-fashioned set up of pancakes and maple syrup. Or dousing your favorite ice cream with it.

There are even recipes available calling for heating maple syrup, and then gathering some snow to pour it on.

But they’ll never recapture the simple pleasure of scooping it out of pristine snow snuggled out in a maple grove.
