My Brothers, It is hard to believe September is already here. Summer vacations are over, children are back in school and it is time to get down to work. Congratulations to the winners of the August Summer Sizzle membership contest! Brothers Stephen Hamilton of Council 1375, Patrick Moffatt of Council 4581 and Jose “Pona” Magana of Council 13403 were all the top recruiters during the month of August bringing in 4 new members each. There were a number of high recruiting districts during August but DD131 Jesse Gonzales in Chino Hills led the field with 8 new members. Once again, there was a tie for the top recruiting council with Councils 1849 in Sutter Creek, 5803 in Simi Valley and 11724 in Sacramento all bringing in 6 new members during August. All will receive $100 gift cards to Out- back Steakhouse to enjoy the Summer Sizzle! For September and October, we will continue to recognize top achievers with the “Fall Feast” membership contest. Again, for purposes of the contest, the count will reset to zero and only monthly intake will count toward awards. The top recruiter, district deputy and council bringing in the most members during the month of September will win $100 gift cards good at a restaurant in their area. Scan and email all Form 100s for newly initiated candidates to [email protected] by noon on Monday, September 30 for them to count toward the contest, or have them join online at www.kofc.org/joinus. So, I have to ask, is your membership in the Knights of Columbus so exciting you want to share the benefits with oth- er qualified Catholic men? Many of us will profess Knights of Columbus membership has made us better Catholic men, bringing us closer to our church and families, making us better husbands and fathers and more active in our parish. I’m sure you all know a man, young or old, whether it be at the Mass you attend, work or a friend who will benefit in a similar way from membership in the Knights of Columbus. Don’t be shy, share your excitement and ask him to join today! Our new Faith in Action program offers ample activities promoting charity and spiritual formation, especially for a young man faced with the reality of raising and providing for a young family. There are many things vying for his attention, and it is important we aid him in focusing on church, faith and family as the center of his life. If you have not already done so, I would recommend reading Knights of Columbus publication #10831 which describes how the Faith in Action program can be implemented in your council. It is available through Supplies Online (for those who have access to Officers Online) or on the Supreme website at https://www.kofc.org/en/resources/programs/10831- faith-in-action-booklet.pdf. The Big Bang Quickstart first quarter membership contest will also be coming to a finish at the end of September with many exciting gifts and prizes. Even more reason to get those Form 100s in. Stay tuned for more on this in the October edition of the Golden State Knightletter. In all that you do, be Knights of Faith – Knights of Charity – Knights of Action!

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

The letter has many inaccuracies and does not understand the process the City used, i.e., the emergency ordinance adopted by the City Council, however, it does threaten legal action against the City if you vote to remove and store the statue. Without commenting publicly on the merit or lack of merit of these claims, I want to suggest that there is a separate and independent basis for its removal and storage at this time-security and safety of the statue itself.

Control of Alta California shifted to Mexico in the 1820s and to America in the 1840s. Some of the communities that grew around the missions became major cities; some missions were abandoned and later reconstructed. Portions of El Camino Real, the road connecting the missions, became interstate or state highways. Mission San Juan Bautista was the fifteenth mission to be established, in 1797. Despite repeated damage from earthquakes on the adjacent San Andreas Fault, Mission San Juan Bautista was never moved from its original location and has been in continuous use as a church since its establishment. Its environs are still largely agricultural, its plaza has been restored to the spirit of its 1870 state, and its adjacent portion of El Camino Real is still unpaved.

  • Report to the People of God
    ADDENDUM TO THE REPORT TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD On February 17, 2004, the Archdiocese published its Report to the People of God: Clergy Sexual Abuse Archdiocese of Los Angeles 1930-2003. The Report was an essential part of the Archdiocese’s ongoing effort to promote healing and reconciliation for victims, their families, and the entire Church community, all of whom suffered as a result of sexual abuse by priests, deacons, members of religious orders and others serving our Archdiocese over the years. In detail, the Report explained procedures that the Archdiocese had put in place to safeguard our children by dealing forcefully with abuse. The Report also set out, without attempt to excuse mistakes that were made, the often painful history of how the Archdiocese’s understanding of the problem of sexual abuse evolved over the years, from the time when it was treated primarily as a moral weakness and a sin to the adoption, in 2002, of a firm policy of zero tolerance. This Addendum is an update to the Report. It has three sections: · The first section provides the most current information about the many educational programs and training sessions the Archdiocese has developed and implemented to safeguard children and how we are dealing with reports of abuse. · The second section consists of a list of 26 priests with allegations of sexual abuse against them that have come to our attention since the Appendix to the Report was last updated. For the sake of full disclosure and transparency, the Archdiocese continues to list all priests who have been accused with evidence that if true would constitute child sexual abuse, even when law enforcement or the Clergy Misconduct Oversight Board have found the charges to be unsubstantiated.
