Each person had three minutes to tell the council why they should be appointed to fill the seat vacated by Mayor Alex Vargas. The four members of the Council will try to agree on one of the candidates and make the appointment at an upcoming meeting later this month. This procedure was put into place to avoid the cost of running a special election. Martin Luther King, Jr Day As soon as the New Year begins and we are returning from our long holiday breaks, we always look forward to our next break. Well, we don’t have much time to wait. The Martin Luther King holiday is held on the third Monday in January. It gives us something to look forward to. We really do need to put into practice what Dr. King was preaching during those chaotic years of the early 1960’s. Respect for every man or women regardless of who they are is still needed today. I think that respect comes from how we view our world and other humans. From the Christian perspective, God has created every one and he has placed us here on earth to live together. All of life is a gift from God. If we truly love God, then we will love others. If we look at each other from this view, we tend to treat each other in a respectful way, knowing that life is too short to hate or hurt our neighbor. Why can’t we all be “respectful good neighbors” in 2016? My 2016 Resolutions Here it is, my list of 2016 New Year’s resolutions: Eat less, run more, read more, laugh more, sleep more, listen more, talk less, get upset less, sleep less during long city council meetings, play golf more, work less, love my wife more, spend more time with my grandkids, read my bible more, submit my newspaper column on time more, give of my time more, eat less Mexican food, eat more sushi, check my cell phone less, remember the important stuff and forget the bad stuff, figure out who the best presidential candidate is, remember all of my passwords for every one of my internet accounts so that I don’t have to tell the site that I forgot it and request an email to be sent to my phone that allows me to reset my password, remember every one’s name who knows my first name and treats me like their best friend, delegate more, lead more, think less of myself and more of others, be thankful more, travel more, share the joy that I have in Jesus more, and of course, just relax and have more “cold ones”. (How long did it take me to break a resolution, not long.) Every day I pray that God would use me to help me serve my family, friends, neighbors and community using the talents He has given to me. Here’s to a New Year! Here’s to a great 2016! Have a cold one or two or three! • Cassini’s Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument to observe heat flow across Enceladus’ south polar terrain. “The distance of this flyby is in the sweet spot for us to map the heat coming from within Enceladus -- not too close, and not too far away. It allows us to map a good portion of the intriguing south polar region at good resolution,” said Mike Flasar, CIRS team lead at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Looking Up Cassini Closes in on Enceladus, One Last Time Based on press release from NASA/ JPL, provided by Bob Eklund Photo provided by NASA/JPL-CalTech A thrilling chapter in the exploration of the solar system will soon conclude, as NASA’s Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft makes its final close flyby of the ocean-bearing moon Enceladus. Cassini is scheduled to fly past Enceladus at a distance of 3,106 miles on Saturday, Dec. 19, at 9:49 a.m. PST. Although the spacecraft will continue to observe Enceladus during the remainder of its mission (through September 2017), it will be from much greater distances -- at closest, more than four times farther away than the Dec. 19 encounter. The upcoming flyby will focus on measuring how much heat is coming through the ice from the moon’s interior -- an important consideration for understanding what is driving the plume of gas and icy particles that sprays continuously from an ocean below the surface. “Understanding how much warmth Enceladus has in its heart provides insight into its remarkable geologic activity, and that makes this last close flyby a fantastic scientific opportunity,” said Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. By design, the encounter will not be Cassini’s closest. The flyby was designed to allow Greenbelt, Maryland. The south polar region of Enceladus, while well lit for observing observations by Cassini’s visible light cameras when the spacecraft arrived at Saturn in mid-2004, is presently in the darkness of the years-long Saturnian winter. The absence of heat from the Sun makes it easier for Cassini to observe the warmth from Enceladus itself. By the time the mission concludes, Cassini will have obtained observations over six years of winter darkness in the moon’s southern hemisphere. Cassini completed a daring dive through the moon’s erupting plume on Oct. 28, passing just 30 miles (49 kilometers) above the surface. Scientists are still analyzing data collected during that encounter to better understand the nature of the plume, its particles and whether hydrogen gas is present -- the latter would be an independent line of evidence for active hydrothermal systems in the seafloor. This moderately close flyby will be the 22nd of Cassini’s long mission. The spacecraft’s surprising discovery of geologic activity on Enceladus, not long after arriving at Saturn, prompted changes to the mission’s flight plan in order to maximize the number and quality of encounters with the icy moon. Cassini made its closest Enceladus flyby on Oct. 9, 2008, at an altitude of 16 miles. The unfolding story of Enceladus has been one of the great triumphs of Cassini’s historic mission at Saturn. Scientists first detected signs of the moon’s icy plume in early 2005, followed by a series of discoveries about the material gushing from warm fractures near its south pole. They announced strong evidence for a regional subsurface sea in 2014, revising their understanding in 2015 to confirm that the moon hosts a global ocean beneath its icy crust. • NASA’S Cassini spacecraft makes its final close flyby of Saturn’s active, ocean-bearing moon Enceladus.
