Formerly the San Diego East Visitors Bureau, the 1,000-sq. ft. California Welcome Center is located in the Viejas Outlet Center on Willows Road, the original Historic Highway 80. The idea to combine the two visitor’s bureaus was an ongoing discussion for months. “The Board Members of both organizations discussed this for months,” said Joe Terzi, President and CEO of the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We had been speaking about a more cooperative effort for years.” The new California Welcome Center, the first to be established on Native American lands, will serve as an important gateway to the more than 8.9 million people who annually travel on Interstate 8 into San Diego County. Terzi said the Viejas location was a good fit for the merge. “First, there was already a visitor’s center there,” he said. “Making it a visitor’s center for the state was ideal because of the I-8 highway. There are a lot of people coming to San Diego from Arizona and other places so it’s a major artery.” Alpine’s California Welcome Center joins a network of 14 official welcome centers throughout the state includ- ing one along Interstate 5 in Oceanside. Traffic to the Center is expected to be approximately 60,000 guests annually, according to CTTC. Terzi said the Center will be promoted by signage visible to both east and west bound traffic driving by Viejas. “This is a win-win for East County and the entire San Diego region,” he said. “Not only will the Center increase referrals for hotels, restaurants, attractions and other facilities throughout San Diego County, but it will also enhance the offerings of the Viejas Outlet Center and the surrounding businesses and unique visitor offerings in the area.” The California Welcome Center is open daily yearround with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Those who stop in will find free brochures, Joe Terzi, President and CEO of the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau, welcomes everyone to the new California Welcome Center. Photo credit: Kathy Foster maps, San Diego official visitor planning guides along with discounted attraction and tour tickets also available for pur- chase. Some of the items for sale include handmade Native American arts, crafts and jewelry, educational books on the surrounding area and Historic Highway 80 logo items. Interpretive displays highlighting the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians and San Diego East County’s parks are available. Friendly visitor services professionals are on hand to help travelers make the most of their San Diego visit. $AVE WATER … USE ROCK Call for Free Estimates • Colorful Deco Rock • River Rock • Beach Pebbles • Gravel • Boulders • Flagstone ALPINE ROCK & BLOCK 13288 Hwy. 8 Business, El Cajon (619) 561-6003 www.alpinerockandblock.com Support our advertisers … They Support Your Paper That Supports Your Community!

What is holding you back from this pursuit? Do you need more motivation or confidence to progress? By Judy Callihan Warfield A very wise man once told me there are 3 simple keys to obtaining happiness. 1. Something to do. 2. Someone to love. 3. Something to hope for. Now, this would appear to be a very simple recipe to achieve that elusive thing we call happiness. However, are we doing something we love to do or just going through the MARCH 18, 2010 Someone to love. How are your relationships with friends, family, and significant others? Do you have a lot of guilt or feelings of unresolved issues with those people nearest and dearest to you? Have you been able to move forward from relationships with an open heart which would allow new loves in? Are you beliefs that if you were hurt in the past that all of your future relationships will go the same negative way? Something to hope for. That goal or vision of that one special thing keeps you moving forward past obstacles and difficulties. This is especially true if you are battling poor health. Our beliefs are our biology. When you have a sense of hopelessness or distress your immune system begins to break down. Now don’t use this as another way to beat yourself up or feel guilt if there is an onset of poor health. I would never suggest that someone has brought on their disease. But, be aware that life is not a fairy tale life where there are never any difficulties or overwhelming challenges. There will always be the highs and lows in all of our lives. Regardless of the diagnosis you still have the ability to choose to live each day to it’s fullest. Remember, often it is the intention, not the outcome, that truly determines if it should be considered successful. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, the purpose is to focus on healing and putting back into your life what makes you whole again. This focused intention gives your back a sense of empowerment in your life. Curing is up to your medical practitioners; healing is your part in recovery.

A and I are quietly catching up after a busy day in the office and on the hospital campus. Dinner has been happily and rapidly consumed and had been prepared by yours truly. The national news satellite stations are being rotated to gain a more objective view of the population’s view of the heatlh care bill as it approaches another “final” vote. Amazingly, there seems to be a common thread of opinion as to the basic foundations for the yes or no vote. All stations or networks present the voter concerns as firstly the cost and secondly the pro-life platform. How we wished that the order was reversed. Cost is always an important concern. A concern that the American ingenuity has consistently found a way to problem solve and triumph. That, of course, assumes that the present government is supportive of the compassionate capitalistic environment that has made the USA what it is today. We will not go there. More importantly ( number one ), can or should life be measured in dollars or in relation to the national debt? Are the ethics of whether life begins on conception, at eight months of gestational develpment, at birth, or at one year of age an area that involves Congressional debate or funding (control)? What is the basic platform? Is it supporting life at all levels of development. Or, is it assuming the task of deciding what lives or must be deleted for the sake of the greater good? We are more than afraid. For questions or comments for Dr. Adema, please write to Horse Sense Questions, C/O Adema Family Medicine, 10201 Mission Gorge Road, Santee, CA 92071.

Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sydney along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her guide dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight. He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, ‘Kathy, we are in Sydney for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?’ The blind lady replied, ‘No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs.’ Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a guide dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered.They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines! Remember...Things aren’t always as they appear to be.

If you’re uncomfortable in the venue it’s hard to really be there in the moment, and once you lose your concentration you’re in big trouble. Feeling comfortable in the room has a lot to do with it. D. S. Do the tables make a difference? Ewa L. The table we use depends on the individual sponsor of that event. At this level we can adjust our game according to the tables. The competition is more a matter of who has worked hard, paid their dues, and who has the talent and is ready to win. D. S. The Women’s Pro Billiard competition returns every year to Viejas. Why is this a good event site? Ewa L. This is our 14th year here, and we love it. The area is so beautiful. The people at Ayers are so accommodating. And the staff here at Viejas is phenomenal. D. S. How long do these players typically stay with the tour? Ewa L. We have new players every year. Our top 32 women are exempt players who are automatically invited every year. Then there are regional events and tours around the country and Canada where players qualify to get on the tour. We also have invites from Asia and Europe D. S. This job requires a lot of travel. How do you balance that with your home life? Ewa L. It’s difficult. I’m sponsored by Brunswick Billiards so I appear at a lot of corporate and charity events. I travel between 175 to 200 days a year. My husband, Mitchell and I both do color commentary on ESPN. But I often bring my daughter on tour when I travel so I stay close with my family. D. S. You were born in Sweden and I read you gained and interest in billiards after watching your brother. Ewa L. Yes. My brother is three years older than me but had no interest in helping his younger sister. But the second time I played I told my parents that’s what I wanted to do. There were no pro teams at the time, but they knew how committed I was so they encouraged me. I was so dedicated that when I played if I missed a shot I would do homework until the next game. They figured I’d grow out it, and that there was no way for a woman to make a living at this. But then after See EWA MATAYA page 12 MARCH 18, 2010 GAZETTE PAGE 9 — CLASS ACT ENTERTAINMENT — ‘Wimpy Kid’ is funny, realistic, appealing no one wants them to sit next to them at lunch. someday he can advise others of these problems. For insiders looking in, they realize that all the kids in middle school are somewhat geeks. At Greg’s school there’s a moldy piece of cheese on the blacktop that everyone avoids like the plague. If someone accidentally touches it he must touch another classmate to get rid of the curse. The movie has a great cast. Gordon (Santa Buddies) is perfect as the misfit trying to find his own place, but getting up every time he’s knocked down. Capron is terrific and quite believable as Rowley who is innocent and just wants to have fun regardless of what his school mates think. Capron has talent and will certainly be a great asset for more children’s roles. The more Greg and Rowley try to fit in, the more they stand out as misfits. Rowley doesn’t feel this, but Greg does. Greg pulls out his brother’s yearbook and looks at who was most popular and sets out to mimic those students. He decides to dress up in a shirt and tie, only he doesn’t realize Rowley does it too; so they both get laughed at. They join the Safety Patrol to get some positive attention. That back fires when Rowley gets into trouble for a misdeed that Greg did. Once the truth comes out Rowley decides Greg is not his true friend. Robert Capron, (right) explores the wonders of his belly button, as classmates played by Zachary Gordon and Karan Brar look on.Photo credit: Rob McEwan / 20th Century Fox Review by Diana Saenger F ew kids have probably not heard of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series. Since author Jeff Kinney released the first book, kids have sought out each new addition. The series has already sold 28 million books, and now the first one has hit the big screen. Pre-teen Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) is facing his worst nightmare – middle school. He can appreciate that his big brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick) has offered him sound advice about what not to do. Yet this is the brother who wakes Greg up on Sunday morning telling him he’s late for school and is also part of a weird rock band. While Greg starts to put his thoughts and problems down in a diary his mother gave him, he’s not facing the new school year alone. He has his best friend Rowley Jefferson (Robert Capron). However, within the first few days at school Greg realizes Rowley is considered a real geek among his classmates. Greg hangs in there with him and the two find Greg’s last resort is when he competes to do cartoons in the school newspaper. It’s the last straw when Rowley’s cartoon is selected instead. Greg can only stand by and watch Rowley become popular while kids still make fun of Greg. There are many funny moments in this movie where kids laughed out loud. But there’s also an undercurrent of many good elements. Middle school seems to be the most difficult years for students and Diary of a Wimpy Kid brings a lot of these situations to life but somehow shows kids they are not life and death situations. Greg never stops pursuing his goal to be popular and continues to keep up his journal so Many of the major kids’ roles were well served. One character is a girl who stays under the bleachers as her way to hide from middle school abuse. She’s played fine by Chloë Moretz but her character never seemed to add anything to the plot. I also didn’t buy into Steve Zahn’s role as Greg’s dad. He acts as irrational as the middleschoolers. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is an imaginative way to focus on serious problems and have fun while doing it. Adults and children will find if funny, and the adults will appreciate that everything comes out right in the end.

Toilet humor used to be reserved for movies with little plot and characters who behave badly. Now those elements are showing up in romantic comedy. Why? Kirk Kettner (Jay Baruchel) works at the Pittsburg airport as a security guard. His only ambition in life is to get back together with his ex-girlfriend, Marnie (Lindsay Sloane). But then he meets Molly (Alice Eve), a professional event organizer who is both sexy and smart and surprisingly interested in Kirk as well. His family and friends are surprised and shocked to see Kirk dating someone so out of his league. Just as things seem perfect for Kirk, he has an embarrassing moment in front of Molly’s family and has doubts about their relationship. Casting of the movie is hit and miss. Baruchel and Eve are great in the lead roles. Baruchel fits the bill as a low self-esteemed geek who constantly doubts himself. Eve portrays Molly, as a “10” according to Stainer (T. J. Miller), Kirk’s best friend. With his big buck teeth, curly hair and a slight slur, Miller reminded me of John Heder’s infamous 2004 character in Napoleon Dynamite. I think this was a poor attempt at recreating that character but ultimately is a miss anyway due to Stainer’s vulgarity. Kirk’s mother (Debra Jo Rupp) was a nice addition to the story but underutilized.

She’s Out of My League is another mediocre comedy that has a few laughs, but is dumbed down with its toilet humor. MARCH 18, 2010 GAZETTE PAGE 11 PAGE 12 GAZETTE MARCH 18, 2010 2010 Suzuki Kizashi by Dave Stall S uzuki has decided to jump into the upper scale four door sedan market place with a new model called the Kizashi. Kizashi means “great things are about to come” in Japanese. The Kizashi comes in a four door configuration with a choice of two different 4-cylinder engines, one produces 180 horsepower at 6000 rpm and a torque reading of 170 (lb-ft) at 4000 rpm. The other option has little difference, a jump of 5 horsepower and nothing else. A 6-speed manual standard in three of the eight different models are available as well as a CVT transmission (Continuously Variable Transmission) in five of the eight models offered as standard equipment. The eight different models are: S, SE, S AWD, GTS, SE AWD, SLS, GTS AWD, and SLS AWD, that is a lot of models to choose from! To help figure it out, if a CVT transmission is chosen, the 180 horsepowered engine is added, and if the manual is opted, the 185 horsepowered engine is added. watt audio system thanks to Rockford Fosgate. Blue Tooth is included with audio streaming and cell phone connectivity. A beautiful set of 18-inch wheels that look stunning is included; also a navigation, back up camera and heated seats are available. Just pick the package that works for you. My tester was a GTS with a manual 6-speed transmission, which I really liked how it shifted at slow and fast shifts. I’m not a big fan of a CVT transmission, personally I think it’s boring, but it does what it is set out to do and that is simplify the transmission world, give the consumer fuel mileage they can live with. On the nonAWD, fuel economy numbers of 20-29 in the city and 23-30 on the open road are reached. With the AWD model then the numbers will read, 22-29, not much difference, but it really all depends on your right foot! One point worth mentioning is if the All Wheel drive is opted the driver will have the ability to turn off the All Wheel Drive if not needed, this will give a few more drops of fuel mileage. Of course all the other standard features, power windows and door locks, trunk and gas door release are included. The back seat was a little small, but if the kids are small, no problem. The Kizashi GTS is well equipped with very comfortable bucket seats with power for the driver and manual adjustments for the passenger, no seat heaters in this model, brrrr! Could have used them here lately. The car was easy to operate when it came to the climate control and a 450- It is a real nice package and price starts at $18,999 and could go up to $26,749 plus tax and license, but the buyer can load it up with a lot of Suzuki goodies just visit the parts department.

I’ve had a few mentors, but mostly learned on my own the hard way. Players back then didn’t want to give you advice because then you could beat them. It’s a different sport today. Four of us, including my husband, Mitchell, started the Women’s Pro Billiard Association tour. Now that billiards is a regular sport on TV, it’s not uncommon for a girl to want to play pool. Grandma buys her a pool stick and she goes to the rec center or reads a book like mine or watches a video, and she’s off. D. S. Competition and trick shots are two separate things, but you compete in both. Ewa L. Yes I do. Trick shot events have become really big over time especially in Europe and on ESPN. I do trick shots mostly at corporate events or the opening of billiard rooms; it’s entertaining. Here at the tour it’s nine ball. D. S. How does the sport affect players physically? Ewa L. It is a very physical sport if you play it long enough. I have tendentious in the elbow, and have had neck surgery because of certain repeated moments. D. S. A lot of the attraction to this sport is the beautiful women who compete. How does that play out in the game? Ewa L. It’s always an aspect of the game. That’s why when I appeared on the David Letterman show I wore a business suit because I wanted to emphasize it’s a business. We’re lucky we have so many beautiful women in this sport. It’s part of the business, but we don’t care. We’re out there to play a good game and win; so it takes more than beauty to get ahead, and we are competitive. D. S. You’ve done this for many years, is it still fun for you? Ewa L. In order to play well you have to practice four to eight hours a day. When you’re younger it’s easy because you love it so much. As you get older you might wake up and Ewa Mataya Laurance. Photo credit: Kathy Foster say it’s a nice day I’ll like to go down to the beach or hang with my kids. So its work to set that time aside.

Both the Aztecs men and women’s basketball teams are champions of the Mountain West Conference Basketball Tournament and they clinched an automatic berth to the NCAA basketball tournament aka…the ‘Big Dance.’ Dancing on the court, this town no longer had to wait to see if their bubble burst. Taking care of business defeating their opponents by 10-points in both of their tournament championship games, these two men and women Aztec basketball teams overcame adversity to climb the highest rung of the ladder ceremoniously cutting the nets off the baskets that laid claim to their historic achievements. Narrowly escaping elimination against a determined scrappy Colorado State team last Thursday afternoon Steve Fisher and his Aztec basketball team set the scene for dramatics at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas Friday evening. Snapping a Lobos 14-game winning streak, the fourth seeded Aztecs stunned the 8’th nationally ranked Lobos 72-69 after an 11-0 opening run led by Aztec forward, Las Vegas native Billy White with 28-points. It was the freshman Kawhi Leonard who calmly sank two free throws late in the game that ultimately sealed the victory. Proceeding to the tournament championship game after UNLV upset the favored BYU Cougars Friday evening, the young SDSU team felt nothing was going to stop them. The home-town crowd at the Thomas and Mack Center in Vegas hoped to cheer the Running Rebels to victory. These teams had split the regular season both winning one-game-apiece on their home court. San Diego State would not be deterred. Most of the squad had never experienced a playoff tournament game, especially a championship game on a visitors home court. Both began cold combining to miss the first 12 shots. playing the best basketball we have all season, there is no reason why we can’t win.” Complimenting his coach who continually compliments him, D.J. Gay spoke about Head Coach Steve Fisher. The (21-10) Aztecs women’s basketball team also overcame adversity in the lower bracket to win their first MWC Tournament title after defeating Utah 70-60 in overtime hours before the men ’s team took the court Saturday. “Coach has been doing it a long time. It’s amazing how he can go from the down to the up. He’s an amazing teacher and an amazing coach. We’re a brand new team. He’s been able to take a new team to the NCAA playoffs. He is amazing. The win guaranteed the Beth Burn coached team it’s second straight NCAA Tournament selection. She said, “As a group, as a team, as a program, we couldn’t be more excited and proud to be cutting down the nets.” But Aztec Junior forward Malcolm Thomas scored 7 points in the first half leading SDSU to a 25-22 halftime lead.

I cannot seem to get a handle on things, as soon as I wakeup in the morning; I am overcome by feelings of hopelessness. I can barely make it through the day and I all I want to do is sleep! Signed, Depressed Dear Depressed, You can be set free from depression, it is a strategy of the enemy, who comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give you life, and life more abundantly. The devil is stealing your time, killing your joy and destroying your effectiveness as a Christian. You must fight! Depression is caused by anxiety (Proverbs 12:25), as a Christian you do not have to be afraid because Jesus did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and soundness of mind. (2 Timothy 1:7). His perfect love for you casts out all fear (I John 4:18). Every day when you wake up, thank God for the good things; thank Him for your family, your health, and remind yourself of all God’s blessings in your life. Write down some key Bible verses to help you, whenever you feel depressed, read those scriptures to yourself out loud. There is power in the Word of God, meditate on good things only (Philippians 4:8). Your mind is the battlefield, “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5). You will notice as each day goes by, the Holy Spirit will renew your hope, Jesus loves you and will help you come out of this darkness. I will be praying for you! Have you visited our website?

I got her around 7 weeks old, and began potty training right away (litter box) and although it was a tough, after 2 months she figured it out. I used to fence her in the kitchen when I was away from home leaving her plenty of room, food, water and chew toys to play with. In addition, after a few trial days of letting her free to roam the entire house I would come home to find no accidents, this was so for a month and a half. I then moved out of that apartment into a house. Suddenly, I had to retrain her all over again, except this time no matter what I did nothing has worked. It’s getting worse! At first she would pee on the carpet, now she’s peeing on my bed! I confine her in a large area in my room, (tile floors) away from the carpet with a large exercise fence, and just like before I would put toys, food, water and plenty of space and sleeping area, but she just refuses to use the litter box. I don’t know what to do anymore, every morning I still ask her to potty in the box, and she goes when I tell her to, but the second I’m not around she goes everywhere else. I would appreciate any help at all. Signed, Potty Blues I Dear Potty Blues, A couple of things caught my attention in your email, which may need to be addressed to help you along with successful housetraining. Your puppy is still very young, and the fact that you had some good success at your old place is wonderful, so pat yourself on the back for getting that far in such a short time. You didn’t say how long it’s been since you moved into the new place, but I would assume not that long. Dogs don’t generalize behaviors such as housetraining very well, so you were correct to “start all over” with her housetraining. Dogs don’t really care where they relieve themselves, the bed is just as good at the floor, and until you give her some guidance and training this is likely to continue. To strengthen that point, you said she is going in her litterbox when you direct her, and I’ll bet that you praise, and reward her for her success. This is good information for your puppy to receive. However, when you are not around to guide her, like most puppies that age, they are still building bladder and bowel muscles and, frankly, puppies tend to get busy playing and just forget to go in the designated place. Therefore, when the urge hits, anywhere is convenient if there is no one to help her find the litter box. You are going to need a plan and some time to show your puppy the new rules of the litter box in this house. will get better if you stick with your training. Typically, you should plan to take your puppy to the potty area at least every 1-2 hours in the beginning stages of housetraining, and always be willing to adjust this if your puppy is having accidents within this time schedule. How do you know when to take her to the litter box? In the beginning, young puppies won’t know how to tell you that they need to use the litterbox so you will have to watch them for the tell-tale signs. Setting an alarm is a good reminder if you think you will have trouble remembering. Young puppies should always be monitored either in a crate or an ex-pen like you are using or at least in your visual range at all times to make sure that they don’t have accidents. Size and age considerations The younger the puppy and/ or the smaller the puppy, will add some variables to housetraining. Puppies under 10 weeks will need to be taken out more frequently because of the immaturity of their brains, their bladders and their bowels. Toy or tiny breed dogs often need more opportunities to go out in the beginning since they have tiny bladders that can only expand so far. This should be considered, not only during housetraining, but for longterm confinement as well. The good news is that a week of practice can make a world of difference when housetraining a young puppy or a tiny dog, so don’t fret, it ADOPT-A-PET Darling Chewy, a 6-year old Chow-Chow blend is 40 pounds of unconditional love. He needs a special adopter, because Chewy is deaf. This doesn’t slow him down at all! He loves playing with toys and having his ears scratched. Chewy is available for adoption through FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters www.focas-sandiego.org). His $69 adoption fee includes license, vaccinations, microchip, and neuter. For more information call (858) 205-9974. Here are some of the signs that your puppy needs to go out: • Sniffing the ground • Abruptly stop playing or chewing • Sniffing in circles • Whining or barking • Play biting more · • Going to or toward the door • Starting to squat • Scratching at crate door • Barking at door • “Zooming” around the house at breakneck speed Once you start to recognize these signs, it will make it easier to get her to her box. One of the most essential components of successful housetraining is to place your puppy in the litter box during the initial training. Equally as important is to have her on a leash right from the beginning so she is not able to wander off and “forget” what she is doing. Once you see that your puppy really has the idea of what she is supposed to be doing, you no longer have to use the leash, but you will still want to go with her in the early stages of housetraining. We Deliver To All San Diego County Giving your puppy a highvalue food treat after she has finished eliminating begins the process of building bladder and bowel muscles by teaching her that waiting to go in the designated potty area will result in a high value food reward. If she goes somewhere else, the result should be neutral, (in other words, don’t make a fuss over it) so she learns that it’s much better to “hold it,” (building muscle) and go to litter box since going there results in the yummy treat! You can also add play or getting to go outside for a walk when she has gone in the litterbox, to make the reward of going there that much more memorable. Good luck!
