MIGRANTS APPROACHED SCHOOL BUSES IN DULZURA, BUT DID NOT TRY TO BOARD, SHERIFF SAYS

By Miriam Raftery

September 2, 2024 (Dulzura) – Migrants have twice approached school buses in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District, sparking concerns among some parents.  However Superintendent Liz Bystedt, in a letter to families, says the Sheriff’s office has spoken with several witnesses and found no crime occurred.

Based on witness statements, the Superintendent’s letter states, “It appears that while several individuals approached the bus, there never appeared to be any intent to take over the bus or harm anyone. At no point in time did anyone other than the students enter the bus, or even get close to entering a bus.”

GO WEST FOR LUCK, GO WEST FOR LOVE

By Mardie Schroeder

Reviewed by Pennell Paugh

September 1, 2024 (San Diego) -- Mardie Schroeder, resident of North Park in San Diego, wrote Go West for Luck, Go West for Love, a wonderful story that depicts the adventures of a family’s members over four generations.

Schroeder starts her story back in the old west. Benjamin Harrison Johnson leaves a town where he has been sheriff. Wherever he goes, he rescues and befriends people. A slick poker player, he wins a ramshackle homestead, the Six Bar Ranch and the owner’s son—Joseph, whom he adopts.

Discovering oil, having his house burned to the ground by outlaws, and inviting Indians to corral and train wild horses on his land start this fast-paced saga. Benjamin Harrison Johnson believes the ranch belongs to Joseph and gives it to his adopted son. We get to know Joseph and see him marry and make the ranch his own.
