In your hands you hold the last edition of the newspaper to carry the Blade banner, so named to project the publication's image as a metaphorical sword, a guardian of truth.

On Sunday The North County Blade-Citizen joins the ranks of Oceanside's BladP, Tribune and News and the San Dieguito Citizen as former chroniclers of the lives and events that shape the history of coastal North County It will be replaced by the North County Times, the newest incarnation of a journalism legacy with 19th-century roots. The product has changed with the times. In the first Oceanside Blade, on July 30, 1892, Publisher A. Bert Byron reported he had taken a hayride trip from Encinitas to Oceanside that took two hours and that the wagon had hit "3,271 chuckholes." Today Interstate 5 allows you to make the trip in 10 minutes. Similarly, today's paper is a monolith by the start; dards of all but its most recent history.

The premiere edition of the 7itnes will have 56 pages of news in six sections and a circulation of 102,311. The paper's modem era, during which it expanded to today's heft, can be traced to 1967, when Howard Publications purchased the Blade-Tribune and installed Tom Missett as its publisher. Missett presided over an unprecedented expansion as the Blade-Citizen grew from a PAPER, A7 PAPER, A7 Today marks journalism.

Noise already rattles their windows, shakes their houses and interferes with their conversations, and more helicopters will be intolerable, residents said.

About 150 people attended the hearing at the Pallbrook Community Center to comment on a recently released draft environmental impact statement for the plan. Many speakers noted that they like having the Marines as neighbors, they just hate the noise. A few even said they like the noise. "In Vietnam, those helicopter sounds were the greatest sounds I ever heard in my life," said Jinx McCain, a retired Marine. "All our ammunition and supplies came in on helicopters, and our wounded went out on them." Others hate the noise.

"I'm highly insulted at people using the patriotism card," Brett Stokes said. "That is not the issue."

The scam was discovered Wednesday after a person who was contacted by the fraudulent, as-yet-unidentified group called the Fire Department asking for more information about the volunteer organization, city officials said. But that person was not the only one the bogus group contacted. "Our deliveryman told the guy he would drop off a check here," code-enforcement officer Pat Sta ley said. "When that man became hesitant about doing that, the de-lively guy became suspicious." Yet Staley did not seem surprised by the solicitation.
