Residents still seeking answers in Country Club development

By Steve Puterski

Even though the project’s tentative map was approved by the County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 2, 2005, Jaoudi had received one stay of time period and four state of California enacted automatic time extensions, which extended the expiration date on the tentative map to March 23, 2016.

Jaoudi filed for the time extension request on March 17, the requested submission enacted an automatic 60-day extension, creating a new expiration date of May 23, 2016.

According to staff, it takes approximately 12 to 18 months to process and record a final map once the tentative map is approved.

Jaoudi has had 11 years to record the final map — more than three times as long as what is standard, according to the staff report.

According to the report, the appli-

ESCONDIDO — Development around the defunct Escondido Country Club is moving at a snail’s pace.

Three weeks ago New Urban West Inc. (NUWI), the development firm now planning to build on the old golf course, held an open house to update residents about the project.

Comment cards were passed along to residents, but conflicting reports about what information was received is generating buzz and uncertainty.

Escondido Country Club Homeowners (ECCHO) President Mike Slater said no plans were delivered during the meeting and the only visible development was a clubhouse.

According to numerous residents, the company said it had a 4:1 ratio in favor of their plans.

However, Slater disputed those claims and said no renderings or drawings, other than a clubhouse, were presented.

According to the ECCHO website, the group will receive the comment cards and in turn, provide at least 100 emails contradicting NWUI’s claims of such wide spread support.

“They had an open house that was very lacking in substance,” Slater said. “They didn’t have the number of homes

Commissioners deny time extension for housing project map

By Tony Cagala

REGION — A planned housing development in North County that’s been in the works for nearly 30 years has seemingly run out of time.

On Aug. 5, the county’s planning commission denied a request (5-1) for a time extension for the recording of a tentative map from the project’s developer and landowner Joseph H. Jaoudi.

The project known as Country Estates includes the development of 55 homes in the Twin Oaks community near Deeb Drive and Hardell Lane.

The area falls in an unincorporated portion of North County, about a quarter-mile east of Vista.

Before all builds can begin, a tentative map needs to meet state and county standards and then be recorded as a final map once the developer is in compliance with standards.

Based on several factors, howev-

er, county staff issued a report recommending the commissioner’s deny the time extension request.

Had the extension been granted the ruling would have allowed the applicant another six years to continue processing the conditions and plans in order to record a final map.

Jaoudi, 79, made an emotional plea to the commissioners during the meeting, beginning with his upbringing in a small village in Lebanon.

He came to the U.S. in 1958 where he finished his education, Jaoudi explained.

“Hard work is not something new to me,” he said.

He added that he has taken this project through the recessions of the ‘90s, 2005 and 2008.

“This project has overtaxed my financial abilities,” he told the commissioners.

So far, he said he’s paid more than $2.5 million to get the map where it is.

The project’s storied timeline shows that it was originally proposed on Sept. 8 1987. It wasn’t until Nov. 20, 1998 that the project was denied by the Planning Commission based on density, increased traffic, sight distance, infrastructure, and fire safety, according to the staff report.

The timeline of the project shows the applicant appealed the commission’s denial to the County Board of Supervisors and it was approved in February 1999.

However, the project hit another snag when its Environmental Impact Report was questioned in court and found to be deficient under review.

In 2005, the Board of Supervisors re-heard the project and rescinded the original approved environmental report and accepted its revision.

ARE BPH SYMPTOMS PLAGUING YOU? Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia – Know your options and get relief today

By Dr. Jason Phillips, Urologist

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a common condition where the prostate enlarges as men get older. Over 70 percent of men in their 60s experience BPH symptoms and the condition affects more than 500 million men worldwide!

BPH occurs when the prostate, an organ found at the base of the bladder, becomes enlarged and blocks the flow of urine from the bladder through the urethra. While BPH is a benign (non-cancerous) condition, it can cause loss of productivity and sleep, depression and decreased quality of life.

Many times patients remark to me how many of their friends are currently being treated but they never even knew about it! It is very common so talk about it with your wife, your friends or your doctor. Many men who experience mild symptoms may choose to do nothing or “watchfully wait” before taking action.

BPH TREATMENT OPTIONS Treatment options for BPH range from medications to open surgery, with a variety of minimally invasive options in between.

MEDICATIONS Medications for BPH include alpha blockers which relax the muscles around the neck of the bladder, making it easier to urinate, and alpha-reductase inhibitors which act to shrink the prostate.

While medications can be helpful in relieving symptoms for some men, patients must continue taking them longterm to maintain the effects.

Unfortunately, some patients may suffer side effects including dizziness, headaches, or sexual dysfunction. And while medication is a viable option and some men are satisfied with their results, others may not get adequate relief of their symptoms. Over 17 percent of men on medication for BPH discontinue treatment early for reasons such as being dissatisfied with side-effects or not getting adequate symptom relief.

THERMOTHERAPIES Thermotherapies are minimally invasive treatments where heat energy such as microwave or radiofrequency is applied to destroy prostate tis-

sue. Less invasive than TURP, these treatments are generally safe, can be performed under local anesthesia and provide moderate symptom relief for some patients. Applying high heat to the prostate can cause

traditional TURP and is often a better option depending on several factors including prostate size and patient health. I perform this as an outpatient surgery. My patients experience a high success rate in re-

BPH SYMPTOMS • A frequent need to urinate both day and night • Weak or slow urinary stream • A sense that you cannot completely empty your bladder • Difficulty or delay in starting urination • Urgent feeling of needing to urinate • A urinary stream that stops and starts tissue swelling and uncomfortable urinary symptoms during the healing period. Symptom relief does not occur immediately, and patients often need to have a catheter that is attached to a urine bag inserted into their bladder during the recovery period.

TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF THE PROSTATE (TURP) Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is the most common surgery to treat BPH. During this procedure, patients undergo general anesthesia and prostate tissue is removed leaving a cavity in place of the obstructive prostate tissue. Patient's often stay in the hospital overnight and have a catheter post-operatively.

Symptom relief may not occur immediately, but patients can expect long term symptom relief after recovery from surgery. Unfortunately, with resection of the prostate with the TURP procedure, there is the possibility of long-term side effects such as dry orgasm (retrograde ejaculation), erectile dysfunction, or incontinence (leaking of urine).

PHOTOSELECTIVE VAPORIZATION OF THE PROSTATE (PVP) Laser procedures called photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) are performed with the Greenlight laser. The Greenlight laser PVP lessens the bleeding risks of

ducing their symptoms and a quicker recovery time as compared to the TURP surgery.

UROLIFT SYSTEM The UroLift® System is a revolutionary minimally invasive procedure to treat an enlarged prostate and has the quickest recovery time. It is a simple procedure that does not require any cutting, heating, or removal of prostate tissue.

I perform the UroLift procedure both in my office setting and at TriCity Medical Center.

T h e UroLift device lifts away en-

larged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra with tiny implants to hold the tissue in place, like tiebacks on a window curtain. The procedure is a safe and simple treatment option that offers rapid symptom relief for men suffering from BPH – it is a mechanical solution to a mechanical problem.

Benefits of the this procedure include the ability to be performed in the office setting without an overnight stay, and avoiding the need for a catheter while preserving sexual function.

No cutting, heating, or removal of tissue is performed.

Numerous clinical studies involving hundreds of patients across the world have demonstrated that the UroLift procedure provides a similar level of symptom relief (compared with other BPH procedures), with fewer side effects.

NEXT STEPS FOR PATIENTS WITH BPH Not every treatment is right for every patient. Medications are the starting block for patients with BPH. The goal of any treatment is to relieve symptoms so you can get back to your life and resume your daily activities. Patients who do not want to start or continue their BPH medication, or patients who do not want to undergo major surgery, should consider the minimally invasive UroLift procedure as an alternative.

For others with a larger obstructing prostate, other therapies such as the Greenlight laser should be considered.

If you are interested in learning more about BPH, please give me a call and I can walk you through your options when it comes to the TURP, Greenlight laser, and Urolift procedures as treatment options.

During Men's Health Month I am giving talks on BPH on Thursday August 25, Carlsbad Senior Center, 799 Pine Ave, Carlsbad, CA 92008.

Your success is my success. If you or someone you know is suffering from their urinary symptoms please give me a call at (855) 222-8262 today.

Lilac Hils Ranch on Nov. 8 ballot

By Aaron Burgin

REGION — Voters will have the final say on a proposed 1,700-home master planned community near Valley Center, as the County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to place the item on the Nov. 8 ballot.

But at least two supervisors raised concerns about the project after they received a 45-page analysis from county staff that pointed out several significant differences between the initiative and the project the county had considered. At least one supervisor declared their outright opposition to it.

The supervisors voted 4-0 to place the citizens initiative for Lilac Hills Ranch on the November ballot. Supervisor Bill Horn recused himself after the Fair Political Practices Commission advised him that he had a conflict of interest due to the proximity of his property to the project.

While county counsel advised the board to not actively campaign against or for the project, the supervisors each had an opportunity to make remarks before voting on the initiative.

It was Supervisor Dianne Jacob who provided the strongest rebuke of the project, which she said doesn’t pass muster. She said she had “grave concerns” about the precedent the project would set for ballot-box planning and for sprawl in the county’s unincorporated areas.

“The question we need to ask is does the need for housing...outweigh the differences between the initiative and the planning commission recommendations and the general plan, and I say no,” Jacob said.

Supervisor Dave Roberts also expressed concerns with the initiative, but said it was now up to the voters to decide.

“While I do have concerns, it is not my intention to interfere with applicant’s right to pursue a public vote,” Roberts said.

Lilac Hills Ranch, which is proposed by Del Mar-based Accretive — the same company that developed San Elijo Hills in San Marcos — would build 1,746 homes, retail and other buildings on 600 acres in the largely rural area adjacent to Valley Center and south of Fallbrook. Accretive has spent $3 million in planning fees to guide the project through the development process, which has gone on for more than a decade.

The county’s general plan calls for 110 homes to be built in that area.

By putting the question to voters, the project would sidestep the county’s normal approval process and likely insulate itself from opposition environmental lawsuits.

Supervisors initially considered the initiative July 19, where they were given three options after the county had certified that the developer had gathered enough signatures

to qualify for the November ballot. They could vote to put it on the ballot, approve the initiative outright, or order the county to provide an impartial impact report.

Supervisors chose to third option, and staff returned Aug. 2 with the report, which enumerated several key differences between the project iterations and the general plan.

There were several key contrasts: • The planning commission’s recommended project would have required the developer to build a turnkey K-8 school for its residents. While the developer and the Bonsall Union School District have an agreement in place to build a school, the actual initiative would not bind the two parties to that agreement.

• The initiative proposes that fire response times would be seven to nine minutes, which is longer than the five-minute time the county requires for similar projects. The developer and several fire consultants argued that the project is still fire safe and that its plan has been used as a model by other developers, and that the Deer Springs Fire Protection District, which would provide fire services to the project, has deemed the response time acceptable.

• Several public and private road improvements that the planning commission recommended would not be required in the initiative.

Accretive representatives protested several of the conclusions reached by staff in the report and demanded corrections, but county staff stood by the report.

Opponents of the project lauded the report, which they said was an accurate reflection of the issues surrounding the initiative.

For a second consecutive meeting, however, supporters of the project far outweigh opponents during the public comment section of the meeting. Project supporters, which ranged from young children, young adults seniors and developers, urged the board to pass the initiative rather than send it to voters.

Supporters have argued that the project is an example of smart growth, and it would help the county ease a growing housing crunch while also preserving open space, developing parks and shopping that will keep motorists from driving long trips for amenities. They have called it “San Elijo Hills on steroids.”

But opponents have argued that the project doesn’t meet the county’s general plan standards, doesn’t have an adequate fire protection plan and doesn’t adequately address the increase in traffic to the area — it is estimated that the project will generate nearly 15 times the traffic that nearby Valley Center sees daily.

New names emerge in local council races Two candidates

By Aaron Burgin

REGION — With less than a day before the filing deadline for the Nov. 8 election, new names have emerged in both the Encinitas and San Marcos races.

Leucadia residents Kevin Doyle and Christine Wagner have both obtained nomination papers from the City Clerk’s office, though neither has filed the paperwork to be certified on the ballot, City Clerk Kathy Hollywood said.

Doyle is a board member of the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association.

According to his bio on the organization’s website, he and his wife, who moved to Encinitas from Sweden in 2003, own deepFLING Scandinavian Jewelry in the Lumberyard.

Trained as an indus-

trial designer, Doyle has worked as a truck driver, an Oriental rug salesman, a furniture designer, a screen printer and a computer programmer and is also active in the board’s Internet and graphics development.

Christine Wagner has been an active proponent of the city’s proposed polystyrene food service product ban, which was tabled last October. According to Internet records, she filed a public records request with the city in May for correspondence between the city and businesses regarding the use of polystyrene food ware.

She has also spoken at several council meetings in favor of the ban.

Doyle and Wagner push the number of people to pull papers for the council election to seven:

incumbents Tony Kranz and Mark Muir and potential challengers Tasha Boerner Horvath, Peter Tobias and Phil Graham are the others.

Boerner Horvath, a planning commissioner, is the only person to have been certified for the council election, Hollywood said.

No other candidates have emerged for the city’s mayoral election, as current councilwoman Catherine Blakespear and three husbands of current and former elected officials — Paul Gaspar, Don Barth and Steve Bartram — have all pulled paper but have not been certified.

The deadline for filing nomination paperwork is Friday, but it will likely be extended for five days for both races

as current Mayor Kristin Gaspar is not seeking re-election because she is running for county supervisor and Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer has said she will not seek re-election.

In San Marcos, financial advisor Dimitris Magemeneas is the third political newcomer to obtain nomination papers for the two-seat council race. He joins Reuben “RJ” Hernandez Jr. and Matthew Stack as potential challengers to incumbents Sharon Jenkins and Rebecca Jones.

Jenkins, Jones and Stack have returned their nomination papers and are certified for the ballot, according to the San Marcos City Clerk’s office.

The deadline for San Marcos’ race is Friday, as both incumbents are seeking re-election.

Gopher fire chars 35 acres near Escondido

By Tony Cagala

REGION — Flames from two separate fires that were burning in close proximity to one another have been extinguished with only hot spots remaining, according to one CalFire official at the scene on Tuesday.

As of Thursday’s press time, CalFire updates said the fire had charred 35 acres and was 95 percent contained.

On Monday, a little after 3 p.m., CalFire and fire departments from around North County began fighting the fires, which is being referred to as the Gopher fire, along the southbound side of Interstate 15 near Gopher Canyon Road, in between Valley Center and Escondido.

At the start of the blaze, firefighting efforts received support from the air with a number of air tankers and helicopters.

As of 6:30 p.m. Monday, 25 acres had burned and the blaze was zero percent contained, according to CalFire Capt. Issac Sanchez.

Crews fought the blaze overnight.

On Tuesday morning,

the fire remained at 25 acres and was 25 percent contained, Sanchez said.

Four to five agencies continued efforts on Tuesday, including Carlsbad, Encinitas and San Marcos fire departments with help from Orange County.

“We’re going to have approximately 10 fire engines and six hand crews assigned plus four water tenders,” Sanchez said.

Air support wasn’t assigned to the fire for Tuesday, but Sanchez said they were available if needed.

Firefighters faced 6 to 8-foot brush and dry grass along a steep and rocky terrain in that area of the fire.

On Monday, three homes were threatened by the fire with two of those being evacuated.

Since Tuesday all evacuation orders had been lifted.

The fire had closed all lanes of the southbound I-15 Monday afternoon.

By Monday night two lanes were opened on the southbound side. The northbound lanes had remained open.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.

enter San Marcos race

By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — It appears San Marcos will have an election this November, after two people announced their intent to challenge a pair of incumbents in the fall election.

Ruben “RJ” Hernandez and Matthew Stack obtained nomination papers from the San Marcos City Clerk’s office, along with incumbents Sharon Jenkins and Rebecca Jones.

Jenkins, a former San Marcos Unified School District board member, is seeking her second term.

Jones is seeking her third and final term on the dais, as San Marcos municipal code limits an elected representative to three consecutive four-year terms on the council.

Both challengers are relative newcomers to San Marcos: Hernandez moved from San Diego two years ago and Stack moved from Oceanside two months ago.

Hernandez, 35, according to his Facebook page, describes himself as an “independent, pro-business, anti-fire and pro-opportunity,” candidate.

“Meaning, I’m here to bolster business growth (jobs), protect our community from fire and work with and within the community to give those looking to step up and advance, the chance to do so,” Hernandez said on his page.

Stack, 35, is a partner at a commercial financing firm who is active in his church in Carlsbad. He said that there wasn’t a specific issue that prompted him to run, but said that he would provide a fresh perspective on the dais.

“San Marcos is an amazing city, I love this city,” Stack said. “This is something I have thought about for years, as a man of God I prayed about it and talked about it with people I have respected for years, and everything kind of lined up and I

felt like it was my time to lead. I hope it not only stays the greatest city, but it just becomes greater and greater.”

Stack said his campaign will center around the idea of what he calls balanced development, managing growth to maintain community character and doesn’t create issues such as with traffic congestion.

“My biggest concern is that we are growing so fast that we may be getting ahead of ourselves,” Stack said. “It is good to grow, but not lose traditional values.”

Stack is married and has a 7-month-old son.

All candidates must file their nomination paperwork — including the signatures of 20 registered San Marcos voters — by Aug. 12. None has done so yet, according to the clerk’s office.

Hernandez and Stack’s entry into the race means that the city will have to hold an election, unlike in 2014 when the city was able to cancel the municipal election as no challengers emerged.

That cancellation came by way of a split council decision: officials voted 3-2 in favor of the cancellation, with Councilman Chris Orlando and Jenkins voting against it.

The city saved $30,000 by cancelling the election, according to the city clerk’s office. Orlando and Jenkins said that the cancellation limited the opportunity for someone to wage a write-in campaign.

Freeing convicts via parole initiative California Focus

By Thomas D. Elias

F

or years, Gov. Jerry Brown could hide behind the fig leaf of a federal court order in turning tens of thousands of convicts loose in a program he called “prison realignment.”

Prisons lost almost onethird of their occupants to county jails and streets all around the state. Most of those released or paroled were so-called “minor” criminals; very few rapists, murderers or armed robbers have won early releases.

This satisfied the courts, which all the way up to the level of the U.S. Supreme Court had upheld an order to reduce prison populations.

Then came the 2014 Proposition 47, which reclassified many previous felonies as misdemeanors carrying far smaller penalties and no “three-strikes” implications.

Felony arrests fell to levels unseen in 50 years.

One reason: Thefts below the value of $950 are no longer felonies. Because realignment has caused overcrowding in county jails, most thievery at that level goes unpunished; often perpetrators are not even pursued because of police frustration with the changed rules.

One apparent result — and no, the link has not been proven beyond statistical doubt — is more property crime in many places, while violent crime has remained relatively stable over the last five years. The increase is official; what’s unproven is the direct cause-and-effect link to Proposition 47.

All this is not enough for Brown, who has a new initiative before voters, on the November ballot as Proposition 57. This one allows early paroles for legally defined non-violent prisoners in exchange for certain achievements and good behavior. The governor spent millions of dollars this spring to qualify his

measure, mostly from funds he raised but largely did not spend while winning reelection in 2014.

Brown calls his new measure “straightforward,” saying it will let only judges, and no longer prosecutors, decide which juveniles aged 14 and over to try in adult court.

He says it will speed paroles for some nonviolent offenders, while setting up a system of credits allowing inmates earlier releases if they get high school and college degrees while im-

nal thinking,” or whether crime rates might increase under this new Brown plan.

A close Brown aide said almost all those covered under the new initiative also could be affected by realignment. “This has a chance of providing a carrot of early release for them,” the aide said. “It won’t work for everyone. But the alternative is a system offering no incentives for people to straighten themselves out.”

Former seminarian Brown couches his measure in moral terms and main-

For sure, prosecutors say they’re worried, and not only because this proposition would decrease their authority a bit. prisoned, and “take charge of their lives.”

This measure figures to let loose thousands more inmates atop those already released.

What Brown has never said, but a spokesman admitted to a reporter while the initiative petitions were still circulating (at about $5 per valid voter signature) is that some persons convicted of crimes like assault with a deadly weapon, soliciting murder, elder or child abuse, arson and human trafficking might get speedier paroles.

The disingenuous hype Brown applies to his proposal by saying it would affect only “non-violent prisoners who can change their criminal thinking…” might be similar to the outright lie told for years by the state prison department, which denied for years allowing serious violent criminals into inmate firefighting camps, where there is limited supervision.

Of course, when that oft-repeated claim was disproven, Brown said nothing and disciplined no one.

No one knows how state parole panels will ever be sure that any prisoner has “changed their crimi-

tains California “still does not have a durable plan to deal with prison overcrowding.” His initiative could also save many millions in prison costs.

But at what price? Burglaries are up. Car thefts, too. So is shoplifting. Would other crimes rise with a new flow of inmates leaving prisons? No one knows.

For sure, prosecutors say they’re worried, and not only because this proposition would decrease their authority a bit.

In one blog published by the Association of Deputy District Attorneys, prosecutors called the measure a “full-fledged assault on public safety,” claiming it would allow parole boards to ignore sentencing enhancements for prior offenses including rape, torture and murder.

The initiative is billed as a humanitarian measure, just like Proposition 47 was when it passed by almost a 3-2 margin. No one knows whether voters this fall will heed some of that measure’s apparent results.

We love ‘em to death Today’s 10 highest grossing box office releases are about animals, including: “Finding Dory,” “The Jungle Book,” “Zootopia,” “The Secret Life of Pets,” and “Kung Fu Panda.”

Nearly half of our households include a dog and nearly 40 percent have a cat. Two thirds of us view them as family members and cherish them accordingly. We love our animals to death.

Literally... For every cat, dog, or other animal that we love and cherish, we put 500 through months of caging, crowding, deprivation, mutilation, and starvation, before we take their very lives, cut their dead bodies into little pieces, and shove those into our mouths. And that doesn’t even include Dory and billions of her little friends, because we haven’t figured out how to count individual aquatic animals that we grind up for human or animal feed.

The good news is that we have a choice every time we visit a restaurant or grocery store. We can choose live foods — yellow and green vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, grains, as well as a rich variety of grain and nut-based meats and dairy products. Or, we can choose dead animals, their body parts, and other products of their abuse.

What will it be?

Edward Cole, Encinitas Rail enforcement Regarding the Coast News Aug. 5th, 2016 Edition Story entitled: “NCTD steps up enforcement along rail corridor” As a retired locomotive engineer and railroad safety officer for a major freight railroad for 32 years I have seen first hand at the Del Mar ocean cliffs along 8th Street the poten-

tial of a train vs. human incident occurring daily.

I, myself working as a train crew member have witnessed four deaths at crossings during my railroad career and there is nothing in the world I would ever want to experience again as of that walk I had to take from the locomotive back to the point of impact of those accidents and to witness and hear the crying of the survivors or of their dead or injured family members.

However, I do see responsibility on the railroads and of the city to protect the public’s access to this beautiful ocean view location. There are a number of solutions that would cost money and at the same time diminish the ocean view somewhat, and they are: 1.) Create designated pedestrian crossings with signage at various locations, 8th Street for example being one.

2.) Require the engineer to blow his horn at intervals even though I suspect there is a ban on blowing the engineer’s horn at the Del Mar road crossings.

3.) A reduced speed zone in this mile section of track and 4.) fencing of the track, which would be costly and would diminish the view.

During all my of railroad career I was told as a matter of fact that the railroads were here before the roads, which is basically true, but in this case the ocean was here before the railroads and the public has the right as much as the railroads to be in that narrow area.

I would offer my services free of charge to help find a solution to this serious problem if a committee would be formed to find a workable solution other than the threat of a costly fine to the public.

Richard Olson, San Diego ‘Pedestrian’ rage Before our recent wonderful trip to the West Coast, we were warned of the high rate of road rage.

What we didn’t expect was pedestrian rage.

Last week, returning from San Diego, while making a right turn (on green), we nearly struck a couple darting out from behind a utility pole. I didn’t see them, but came to a stop. The man lost it and began ranting, banging on the hood, and pointing to the green walk sign.

After reviewing traffic/pedestrian rules on line I found some helpful suggestions: 1. Never assume motorists see pedestrians, especially at night 2. Pedestrians should be aware that motorists turning right might not see you if you’re on the same side, so look carefully before crossing, even if you have a walk signal.

3. Usually the rule is whoever enters intersection first has the right of way. (We entered at same time).

The last thing you want on your tombstone is, “The walk sign was green!” My guess is my righteous pedestrian friend is going to be more cautious in the future. For that, you’re welcome! I would suggest I the future to not bang on a car, you never know who has a gun (I didn’t).

Oh, one other public service suggestion — motorcyclists, if you plan on biking in the Deep South, please don’t try to lane split. I have a bike so don’t get me wrong. It’s for your own safety, ‘cause they wouldn’t take too kindly to it!

County helping veterans make transition back to civilian life Centers in Escondido and National City. And we look forward to expanding veteran services to Oceanside and East County for the improved well-being of our region’s veteran residents and their families.”

By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — Officials with San Diego County are assisting in the transition for veterans back into civilian life a little easier.

The county declared July 29 as National Veterans Transition Services (NVTSI) Live Well San Diego Day, while deeming NVTSI, also known as Operation Reboot, as an official Live Well San Diego partner.

The San Diego-based nonprofit helps veterans transition back to civilian life.

Additionally, Ashford University donated $12,500 to Operation Reboot, an employer-driven initiative to reboot the lives and careers of transitioning service members and veterans, while Ingram Micro donated $4,000. Both contributions help NVTSI to continue to promote employment in key industry sectors through job training and career matching.

County Supervisor Dave Roberts presented NVTSI’s co-founder and president, retired Navy Master Chief Maurice Wilson, with a Live Well San Diego proclamation during a Reboot workshop graduation of class No. 84 on July 29. Operation Reboot has transitioned 1,508 veterans.

VCC celebrates National Health Center Week

By Promise Yee

VISTA — A fun, interactive health fair will be held this Saturday at Vista Community Clinic (VCC) on Terrace Drive.

Herminia Ledesma, program manager of the clinic’s health promotion center, said the health fair is for all ages and fitness levels.

Ledesma said the fair celebrates a healthy summer and school readiness. Its goal is to promote physical activity and healthy choices for the whole family.

“It’s for our current patients, and those who might not know us, to get connected with us and our community partners,” Ledesma said.

Participants will check in and receive a pedometer, fanny pack and passport to attend three information booths, a health screening and event activity. Once the passport is filled, they can enter a midday drawing for a kid’s bike or Fitbit activity tracker.

Event-goers are welcome and encouraged to explore more than the minimum number of health and fitness stations. Activities will include face paining, dental screening, health insurance enrollment and interactive information booths.

A mobile dental clinic will be on site to assess dental health and provide recommendations.

There will also be blood pressure and glucose screenings.

Another on-site activity will be a heart health workshop given by the American Heart Association. It will explain what heart disease looks like and how to help prevent it.

Additionally, there will be on-site assistance with health insurance enrollment.

Participants can find out if they qualify for Medi-Cal, which can be signed up for year round, or Covered California.

If they qualify for Covered California they will be informed about needed paperwork for the open enrollment period, which begins in November, and an enrollment appointment will be scheduled.

National Health Center Week is celebrated across the country with local events.

The annual celebration recognizes the value of community health centers to deliver comprehensive, high-quality preventive and primary health care to patients regardless of their ability to pay.

In 1965, the Health Center Program started with just two clinics. Today there are close to 1,400 health centers in the U.S. that provide a “medical home” for 23 million patients. The VCC health fair will be held in the clinic’s outside parking lot by its main entrance.

The event takes place Aug. 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1000 Vale Terrace Drive.

This material was made possible with funds received from the Tobacco Tax Health Protection Act of 1988-Proposition 99, through the California Department of Public Health, contract CTCP-15-10247.

Carlsbad begins applying herbicide to non-native trees

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — City crews began applying herbicide on 120 trees in the Lake Calavera Preserve.

The ecological area, which is nestled on the border of Carlsbad and Oceanside, will have invasive plant species removed through two projects. Mexican fan palm and Brazilian pepper trees will have the herbicide applied followed by habitat restoration with native trees and plants.

The plan, which received pushback from nearby residents last month, will consist of a five-month process. The herbicide has been injected into the trees this week followed by tree removal, bathroom site work and Lake Calavera dam vegetation removal in September.

In October, native plant restoration and restroom construction begins, while November includes the opening of the bathroom, temporary landscape irrigation and completed plant restoration with a 120-day establishment period.

The landscaping is expected to be finished in December, according to the city.

The restroom is a new, single-unit facility with drinking fountain and bike rack for visitors. According to the city, there will be temporary trail closures once work begins in September.

Removal of the trees and plants upset residents after they claimed the city council did not offer sufficient notice, or a public hearing of the plan earlier this year.

The project was delayed to hold the public forum.

The situation began when the

vince vasquez In North County, we relish in the summer sun, but this summer has been something of a disappointment for me — I missed a big fitness goal.

It’s been one of my dreams to compete in a triathlon. I’ve been an avid runner since I was young, I’ve completed six half marathons, and have done a bit of swimming and cycling in my life, but nothing on a routine basis. I’m simply getting older, and the post-cardio aches and pain will only increase with every year, so I figured, why not do a tri now?

I’ve had some friends who’ve competed in “triathlons” before — which I later learned were in fact half-triathlons, or sprint triathlons, which are only a fraction of the distance required to bike, swim and run. Still, an impressive accomplishment, but not the same. Not even close. I had a lot of comfort in knowing I could at least start small and scale up to the real deal.

The July 2016 Carlsbad Triathlon (sprint triathlon) was my goal; I gave myself

The city of Carlsbad began herbicide application to about 120 non-native trees in the Lake Calavera Preserve this week. Photo by Steve PuterskiV

Carlsbad Municipal Water District obtained a permit from the state to remove native vegetation near the dam to allow for safety inspections.

The permit requires mitigation measures, which means the eradication of non-native vegetation in the preserve.

During the July meeting, residents questioned city staff and biologists about the application of the herbicide, how an estimated 120 trees will be removed, wildlife protections and other factors. The herbicide is the controversial Roundup Custom, which contains glyphosate as the active ingredient.

The trees will be injected with

herbicide and cut down with chainsaws. However, numerous trees will not be pulled out of the preserve after being cut down as doing so would cause too much damage to the landscape, according to Biologist Mike Trotta of LSA Associates.

All trees, though, will be cut into sections to be either removed or spread throughout the preserve.

Those efforts will begin in September after bird nesting season, and will run from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. After the removal, native species such as western sycamore, western cottonwood, coast live oak, California blackberry, red willow and Mexican elderberry will be planted.

from January to prepare for it. I wasn’t off to a good start.

With an increased running regimen, I was almost immediately hampered by a tightened right calf. This was soothed somewhat by more stretching and the help of my masseuse. Ultimately however, I abandoned my fitness plans, as I couldn’t seem to get around a daunting suggested budget for a triathlon participant.

Ninety dollars to register (early). Hundreds of dollars for new shoes and clothing. Hundreds of dollars for a new wetsuit. Thousands of dollars for a new bike. All for a single event this year, which I’m not even sure I’ll enjoy?

The real barrier to my entry for triathlons isn’t physical ability, it’s money. I simply can’t wrap my mind around that. I don’t want to take anything away from triathlon enthusiasts, who get a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction in competing and thriving in their healthy, positive sport. The handful of tri experts I sought advice from were really friendly and generous. But there’s a strong “gear culture” surrounding the sport that, for me, takes a lot of the fun out of it.

If you compare photos of triathletes from the ‘80s and ‘90s to today, you can see what I mean by gear culture. Triathletes back in the day used simple swimsuits,

running shorts, tees, and sneakers. Not today.

Reader, take note: while discouraged, I have not given up on this bucket list goal of mine. I’m setting my sights for the 2017 Carlsbad Triathlon, with a budget in hand.

Why buy a bike, when I can borrow one from a friend, who’s about my height, and never uses his?

Wetsuits can be bought used, or cheaply at COSTCO. And I’ll take my time with training to see if I even enjoy the sport before I actually put money on the table.

MeetUp.com has free swimming and triathlon training clubs based in North County, and I can trace the running portion of the course for free in Carlsbad during my practice runs.

It’s great to set high goals, but if the buy-in is high, and you don’t feel prepared or excited enough to take it on, then don’t.

There’s always next year, or you can set a new goal for something that interests you.

In North County, our summer days stretch far, giving plenty of time to find other fitness pursuits. What goals have you set for your fitness this year? It’s not too late to make a goal and reach it!

Vince Vasquez is an economist based in Torrey Pines. He is a Carlsbad resident.

he summer has been washed in sadness. There should be some comfort from knowing I am feeling what hundreds in our community are feeling, but I would dearly like more.

Sweet Charlotte McCue. As I learned the where and the how of her death, I had to sit down.

The ache just settled in my stomach and heart in a tight knot.

I am prickly with thoughts of her parents and their bright, sharp agony. It may be eased by faith in God and belief that Charlotte sits warmly ensconced beside Him now. But their beautiful girl is gone, and none of us were ready for her going.

As I tried to gather my thoughts, I was struck by all the order in the universe.

The laws of physics are immutable, the speed of sound, the speed of light, the tides of the ocean, all come and go in their preordained time. How then, could a joyous family vacation be so fraught with the unknown.

Eight years of immunizations, trips to the doctor, warm clothes, sunscreen,

baths for fevers, sleepless nights, elbow pads, helmets, seat belts, earthquake supplies, fire drills, glow-in-thedark Halloween costumes, healthy meals, early bedtimes, and love, did not help.

I will never shake the unrealistic, but pressing, sense that they should have.

I continue to chafe at the inequity that all of us touched by Charlotte’s death can’t, somehow, ease her family’s nightmare. Perhaps the outpouring of love helps a tiny fraction, but its extraordinary strength should have the power to simply lift that pain from them. We stand willing to take on their suffering, and cannot.

We just want so badly to do something, say the right thing, give the right hug that will somehow make it OK again. Our parents and teachers are not accustomed to doing nothing. They spend the better part of every day in “How can we make this better” mode, looking for creative solutions, tackling problems, looking ahead, all toward a brighter future for our babies. Forever more, when we see the sun set, the moon rise or the waves wash in, we will remember, ache inside for Charlotte’s family and worry about everyone’s babies just a bit more.

he first time I put my lips to a Viognier wine it was love at first taste.

This white wine, so thirst quenching and delicious, deserves better.

Its roots are deeply laid in the northern Rhone Valley of France and are the only permitted grape for the French wine Condrieu in the Rhone.

Viognier is hard to pronounce and is lagging way behind the leader of the white wine mainstay, Chardonnay.

First let’s get the pronunciation right.

It’s (Vee-on-Yay) and like Chardonnay, Viognier has the potential to produce full-bodied complex white wine, with a pretty, golden hue to it to tempt the palate.

Unlike simpler whites, both Chardonnay and Viognier age well, so it’s not unusual to see a year or two of vintage on the label. Another interesting thing about this wine is that it blends well with other whites.

Our friends at Robert Renzoni in Temecula Valley make a Cantata blend with 60 percent Pinot Grigio and 40 percent Viognier —lots of apple and pear on the nose, with a hint of pineapple on the finish.

Viognier seems to have found a home in Southern California. A number of wineries in Temecula have embraced its heat-loving properties and distinguished palatable

accents.

Besides Robert Renzoni, several other wineries feature Viognier in their white wine lineup.

Falkner Winery has always done well and Ray Falkner was an early believer in the varietal. His new release Viognier is a gold medal winner, grown on the estate.

White peach, pineapple, key lime and honeysuckle are clear plate-pleasing fruits, evident in Falkner Viognier.

South Coast does well with their entry. Aromas of peach and nectarine dominate, along with a velvety finish, evident in all Viogniers.

Maurice Car’rie Winery is an all-white varietal winery and its Viognier is accented with apricot, Asian pear notes and citrus blossom.

Most Viogniers will be in the $20 price point.

Previously, Viognier had been out of favor, and in the ‘60s, just a few acres in the northern Rhone Valley of France were set aside for the grapes.

But the popularity and price of the grape has risen since then. It’s a difficult grape to grow and prone to mildew and up and down yields.

hile is not on most people’s vacation radar, but the South American country has occupied a line on Kitty Morse’s dream-trip list since she was a grade-schooler in Casablanca, Morocco.

“My geography classes made me dream of exotic locations like Antofagasta, Valparaiso and the Atacama Desert, even though the Sahara dunes were only a day’s drive from my school,” explains the longtime Vista resident. “Besides, I’ve always wanted to see my hometown's namesake in Chile — Valle de Casablanca,” - heart of the country’s wine region.

According to a Chilean tourism organization, nearly 187,000 U.S. residents traveled to Chile in 2015. (Total visitors number about 3.8 million; most are from neighboring South American countries.)

Morse was born in Casablanca of a French mother and British father, and grew up speaking English and French equally. She immigrated to the United States at age 17, and is the author of 11 cookbooks. She was surprised that, during her two-week stay in Chile, “practically every tourist I encountered was a native French speaker. There was hardly a gringo in sight.”

Once Morse decided to go, she cashed in her frequent flier miles, worked with a “delightful” travel agent in Santiago (via the internet), and decided to give Airbnb a try in Santiago.

“I had success on all counts,” she says.

Morse’s itinerary included six days in Santiago, four days in the Atacama Desert in the north, and five days in Northern Patagonia in the south.

“I decided to forego the glaciers in Patagonia, since I had seen some in Alaska last year,” she explains. “I flew instead to the Region de Los Lagos Andinos (the Lake Region) and spent a day cruising Lago de Todos Santos, the first in a series of seven lakes that eventually leads to Bariloche, Argentina.”

Photo opportunities were at every turn: the pink flamingos, herds of wild vicuñas, steaming geysers and colorful canyons of the Atacama Desert; the palafitos (homes on stilts) and the Castro market on the island of Chiloe; the spectacular Volcan Osorno (volcano) in the Lake Region; and the two-hour cruise to Peulla at the far end of Todos Santos Lake.

And though Morse has a passion for ethnic foods, she didn’t expect to find gourmet offerings in Chile.

Surprisingly, though, she found excellent cuisine in several places. On the island of Chiloe, “the seafood is outstanding,” she recounts.

“And there was mouth-watering Tablao Patagónico loaded with seafood, sausages and cheeses at La Gringa restaurant in Puerto Varas, and salmon ceviche purchased from a food truck kept me happy until it came time to take the ferry to the Island of Chiloe.”

And Morse finally visited Valle de Casablanca (Valley of Casablanca, outside Santiago), which had been on her wish list for

many years.

“Friends took me to the gorgeous Casas del Bosque winery where I sampled the famed Carménère wine, which has its origins in the Médoc region of Bordeaux,” she says. “It was thought to be extinct, but was rediscovered in Chile in 1994.”

In the end, Morse’s adventures in Chile were the result of a mix of good planning and serendipity.

“Sometimes I was traveling by the seat of my pants. My Morocco tours were much more organized.”

(For many years, Morse led groups on sightseeing and culinary tours in Morocco.)

It’s been about three months since Morse’ return to Vista, but she still relives her trip with gusto.

“Northern Patagonia and Atacama Desert still sound so exotic that I can hardly believe I was actually there,” she confesses.

Internet Speeds: How much do you really need?

There are several factors to keep in mind when determining how much Internet speed your household needs At its onset, Internet was relegated to dial-up connections that provided very slow speeds.

Those old enough may recall the times of busy signals and interrupted connections due to shared phone lines.

As technology changed, a broadband connection offered much higher speeds and uninterrupted connections.

Extremely slow connections may be measured in kilobits per second (Kbps), although most speeds are now measured in megabits per second (Mbps).

The higher the number of bytes you are able to download per second, the faster your connection.

In order to fully understand how Internet speeds work, let’s define a few key terms: • Streaming. Content you stream is audio or video data transmitted continuously and refers to the delivery method, not

the data itself. Streamed content is not saved anywhere on your device.

• Downloading. When you download a file, whether it be a movie, a song or something else, the item is copied onto your device from another source. This is

typically done over the Internet.

• Uploading. When you upload a file, you are copying it from your device to another location, such as uploading your weekend photos to your social media accounts.

Perhaps you stream, down-

load and upload, maybe you only do one of these.

There are several factors to keep in mind when determining how much Internet speed your household needs, including the number of users, the types of use (basic web browsing, media sharing, streaming content, file downloading, online gaming, video chat, cloud storage, streaming music, etc.), frequency of use and the number of devices in your home.

Keep in mind that even if you live solo, your home may have several devices connected to your home Internet, including mobile devices, TVs, gaming systems, laptops, tablets and other electronics.

• 10 Mbps speeds are good for light Internet users who check email and surf the Internet a few times a week and have one standard-definition television • 100 Mbps speeds are good for more advanced web browsing and watching high-definition video streaming • 300 Mbps speeds are good for gaming, teleconferencing, ultra-high-definition streams, and a household of high end users • Gigabit Internet speed

is the next generation of broadband Internet service, delivering speed to power all your devices in the home at the same time, whether you’re using your mobile devices, video streaming, gaming or have a home office.

What can you do with gigabit Internet speeds?

Gigabit speeds offer Internet that is 100 times faster than the average speed in the U.S. today. With a gig, you can: • Run ALL your devices at the same time • Download an HD movie in less than 60 seconds • Download 100 songs in three seconds • Upload about 1,000 photos in about a minute How can I be sure I have the appropriate Internet speed?

Now that you have a clearer picture of Internet speeds and how much your household needs, it’s best to consult an expert.

MyHairTransplantMD offers low-cost hair restoration OCEANSIDE — If every business operated on the same principles as MyHairTransplantMD, gone would be the days of vague and misleading online pricing.

You would never be hit with hidden fees and unrealistic promises would be obsolete.

And once you’ve made the decision to go forward with the hair restoration you’ve been considering, Daniel J. Wagner, CEO at MyHairTransplantMD, assures you that you will know up front the entire cost and scope of the process to give you the head of hair you desire.

The MyHairTransplantMD website offers clear information about the consultation and even the price.

“My goal is for people to be able to make informed decisions and have realistic expectations about their hair restoration options,” Wagner said.

But his decision to be completely transparent with potential clients has come with some criticism.

“Our competitors don’t lay everything out for people the way that we do,” he said. “I’ve been criticized for having all of the information on our website. I’ve been told I should leave something to the imagination. But I don’t want to do it that way. I want people to see what we do, how we do it and how much it will cost them.”

Another frequent tactic of other offices that offer hair restoration is to lead clients to believe that a full head of hair can be achieved in one procedure.

“When a client is looking to restore an area that used to have 20,000 hairs, there are limitations to what we can do in one visit,” Wagner said. “We often have people come in telling us that the guy down the street said they could get their hair back in just one visit. What I tell people is that if you lost your hair gradually, we are going to restore it gradually.

We will only do as much as

is medically safe to deliver the results you want.” He added that his team always informs clients exactly what it will take to fully restore their hair.

“If you have no hair, you didn’t lose it over-

night,” Wagner said. “It’s not possible to come in today and leave with a full head of hair. The hairs are so close together, it’s a gradual process.

For those clients looking to add to thinning hair,

the process involves increasing the density. “As you lose your hair, we add it,” Wagner said.

MyHairTransplantMD does not mislead clients by quoting less than it would take for the results clients

are looking for. “We take the measurements, tell clients, ‘This is what it’s going to take to achieve the results you want,” Wagner said. “We don’t intentionally mislead clients by underestimating what it’s going to take to reach their desired goal. We back it up based on hair science — which is math — not opinion.”

“Our prices are competitive, and posted right on our website. We want to tell you honestly what it will take. And if you’re happy after one procedure, you are free to go on your way.

We want you to know going in what it’s really going to take, but you don’t have to complete the entire plan.”

M y H a i rTr a n s p l a n tMD is located at 2103 S. El Camino Real, Suite 201 in Oceanside. For a step-bystep guide to their consultation process and a complete explanation of pricing, call the office at (800) 262-2017 or visit their website at myhairtransplantmd.com.

Casa de Amparo expansion funding drive kicks off in San Marcos SAN MARCOS — July 21 marked the grand opening celebration of a major expansion at Casa de Amparo’s Casa Kids Campus in San Marcos.

A new counseling wing, providing a comfortable space for therapeutic services for abused and neglected children and families, and expansion of the Pregnant and Parenting Residential Services cottage were announced.

The Walter J. and Bet-

ty C. Zable Foundation will support the next phase of the organization’s capital expansion with a $1 million challenge grant, whereby, the Zable Foundation will match every dollar raised up to $1 million. To make a donation toward the capital campaign, contact Kathy Karpe, director of Development for Casa de Amparo, at (760) 566-3556.

To date, Casa de Amparo has raised $366,000 toward the $1 million chal-

lenge grant.

The expansion of these two facilities at Casa de Amparo will enable the organization to house approximately 40 pregnant and parenting teens annually and provide much-needed counseling services to local at-risk youth and their families.

A Community Treatment Facility and storage and maintenance building will be the next step in developing the Casa Kids

Campus.

“Currently, due to the lack of this type of home and support services in the area, many youths are sent out of state to receive the specialized care they require. We are so proud that Casa de Amparo will be able to meet this need in San Diego County and provide youth a safe environment where they can heal,” Fleck-Myers said.

The storage and maintenance building will pro-

vide Casa de Amparo’s Facilities team the space to house equipment and supplies to maintain the organization’s program sites, storage for in-kind items which support program operation, and house industrial washers and dryers.

The cost of the Community Treatment Facility and storage and maintenance building will be funded by a capital fundraising campaign with a goal of $7.8 million.

While last year’s con exceeded expectations, this year’s version aims to clean up several issues associated with the inaugural event.

One startling revelation, Jones said, was a quarter-mile long line of people waiting to get inside.

This year, to combat lines, more rooms and a day for badge pick-ups has been added to ease congestion.

Perhaps the biggest goal for this year, however, is to create a less segregated event, Jones and Murphy said.

The four co-founders want to create an environment where gamers mingle

and learn about other genres, such as anime or comics, for example.

“We want to bring people together,” Jones said.

ESCONDIDO — For those who missed out, or want more — the nerd revolution continues this month.

Gamers, cosplayers, anime and more will be just a few genres featured at the 2016 Nerd-Con beginning Aug. 26 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. The three-day event kicks off with a badge pick-up and VIP party, followed by two days of panels and attendees breaking down gaming, comics, superheroes and more.

Nerd-Con founders Joel Jones, Trish Murphy, Rachel Youch and Stephanie Pandes are all returning and are expanding this year’s iteration after an eye-opening inaugural event last year.

About 3,000 people attended last year’s con and several months later, the four friends knew they needed to expand their universe.

“Last year was great … and had an amazing turnout,” Jones said. “We kind of got forced into having multiple days just to be able to fit everybody. However, 12 acres isn’t small by any means and to take over that

Teen drawing upon natural abilities as an artist

ESCONDIDO — Comics are a tough racket.

However, a 13-year-old middle schooler here is trying to do just that as his art skills are beginning to flourish.

Ricky Rodriguez has developed his own comic strip and is making moves toward getting them published.

“I always push myself to greatness,” he said.

Rodriguez, who attends Bear Valley Middle School, started drawing cartoon characters of his favorite football players and has now evolved into more realistic creations.

As he progressed, Rodriguez realized he had a talent for drawing and began to pursue other avenues of his artwork. Despite nev-

er taking an art class, the drawing has come naturally to the youngster.

His roots began modestly, but now he is slowly branching out to find an avenue where his art can be on display. Naturally, social media is one such road Rodriguez is driving to show off his talent.

“I have my own Instagram account for my drawings,” he said.

Only a teenager, Rodriguez said he’s not sure if this route will be a career, but he has left the door open to the possibility.

His art centers on pencils, pens and markers, leaving out the paint for now.

Rodriguez’s comic, meanwhile, focuses on a character named Henry fighting through life, but with comedic twists.

Coaches find holes in swing with app

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Taking a cue from 16 Major League Baseball organizations, the Sage Creek freshmen baseball and Carlsbad High School softball teams are going the route of analytics.

The two local clubs are coming off successful seasons — CHS was a DI semifinalist — but they’re not resting during the offseason. Instead, the two have taken up with Diamond Kinetics and its SwingTracker app to improve their hitting.

“We are just a baseball, softball company,” said Joey August, business development manager at Diamond Kinetics. “It allows us to dig a lot deeper into the amount of information and the experience we can give the baseball, softball athlete. We always use the line, ‘We can be an inch wide and a mile deep’ with the stuff we do.”

Annual longboard contest brings three days of aloha

By Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — Beginning Friday, three jampacked days of longboard and standup paddleboard surfing competition will honor tradition and show off new moves at Oceanside Pier.

Aug. 12, 13 and 14 bring the 32nd annual Oceanside Longboard Surfing Club Contest. It is one of the few surf competitions that includes tandem and noseriding categories.

mance as pairs ride in on one board. Men balance both the surfboard and the woman they hold.

Women, who must weigh at least half the weight of their surfing partner, strike gymnastic poses while lifted overhead.

Another unique category is the 16th annual noseriding competition.

Boards between 9 feet and 10 feet 3 inches are marked with tape 24 inches from the nose. Competitors are judged on how long they keep both feet in front of the line during

their ride. It’s all about “time on the tip.”

There is also pro open and longboard surf club competitions, as well as standup paddleboard surfing heats. More than 30 longboard Coalition of Surfing Clubs will participate, including a strong representation of clubs from California, and teams from North Carolina and Texas.

he scene was Jorge’s Tequila Factory and there was plenty of tacos and teasing.

Would you expect anything less from a table of baseball-loving teenagers?

Yep, the Encinitas Little League All-Star Juniors team was holding court at Jorge’s, an eatery in downtown Vancouver, Wash.

The way the ELL players, coaches and supporters were sharing smiles and salsa, didn’t that bunch see Wednesday’s final score?

ELL fell to Hawaii, 2-1, in 10 innings for the Western Region Juniors title in a heartbreaking thriller.

But a heart mends quickly at 13 and 14 years old.

“You wouldn’t know if they won or lost,’’ ELL coach Chaz Gagne said.

Maybe those ELL players prevailed and we just don’t know it.

If ELL would have defeated Hawaii, it was headed to the national tournament just outside of Detroit.

Instead, look for 14 players to be frolicking in the waves as they let a historic summer sink in like so much suntan lotion.

“I’d say we accomplished exactly what we wanted to,’’ Gagne said.

“We wanted this to be a journey and it was.’’

It took ELL from Escondido to Rancho Cucamonga to Manhattan Beach to an overflowing booth at Jorge’s, with kids clutching sweet memories and cherished sweat marks around their red hats.

Summer fun?

It’s tough to beat what ELL accomplished in winning the Southern California title, besting nearly 400 teams.

Bummer it’s done?

No doubt.

But with steady manager Bob Buscher and his coaches, John Dulich and Gagne, one loss won’t derail the bond this group formed and shares.

“It was such a great run with these kids,’’ said Gagne, who’s coached some of them since they were 6-year-old soccer players.

This summer was a kick, considering how ELL raced to the Western Region title game.

ELL was one strike away from being eliminated in the semifinals by Arizona before staging an epic rally.

Entering the final inning trailing, 8-5, ELL picked up a run and then Cooper Dulich’s two-out, two-strike, two-run hit tied the score. Then JP Kras drove in Connor Bough with the game-winner and some parents are still huddled behind the snack bar, too nervous to look.”Wow,’’ Gage said. “Down three with two outs? The other team thought it had won the game.’’

It reminded some ELL watchers of its Houdini act at the district level. ELL’s first tournament was almost its last, down again to its last strike against 4S Ranch.

Then Kai Haseyama drew a walk and was bunted over. Bough smacked a ball through the infield, with Buscher doing his windmill imitation at third base, waving in Haseyama with the winning run.

Unfortunately, the ball beat Haseyama to the plate. Fortunately, Haseyama contorted his body in ways that are unimaginable to sneak around the tag for the tying run.

Wyley Sharp followed with a walk-off home run and even if you were there, it was hard to believe.

“We got out of there by the skin of our teeth,’’ Gagne said.

Those pearly whites were on display at Jorge’s.

While disappointment came knocking at the end, it couldn’t erase a knockout of a summer. In ELL’s 60th season, this All-Star squad advanced farther than any other team in league history.

With ELL’s considerable All-Star success, that’s saying a mouthful.

What’s left unsaid is that North County owes a tip of the cap to the players.

The coaches?

They get two tips of the cap after spending 10 days in a modest hotel with 14 teenagers.

“We deserved to be here,’’ Gagne said. “We went 4-1 and the one loss came in three extra innings.’’

There really was no project for the community to be yes or no on.”

According to media reports, however, a statement from NUWI said it has developed a concept plan based on community resident feedback. NUWI also said the plan was received favorably and retaining the golf course would not make financial sense.

The two sides, though, have been in discussions about how to proceed and what amenities, if any, are needed in addition to the number of homes NUWI can afford to build, Slater said.

for a very reasonable price.

How are you able to pull that off?

Prior to signing up, each vendor is made aware of the sample requirement.

As this event continues to grow and grow, we get more and more amazing vendors that are interested in participating.

And it’s not just taco shops participating; you have other types of restaurants as well. Tell me about some of those?

We have everything from well-known taco shops like The Taco Stand, to taco trucks like Dos Bandidos and The Classic Taco Food Truck to well known restaurants like Puesto, Coasterrea and Cali Comfort BBQ. And some are coming from across the border in Tijuana as well?

We have three great vendors joining us from Tijuana, Tacos Kokopelli, La Cahua del Yeyo and Baja Sonora Asadero.

Besides all the great food, you have bands playing with a definite Hispanic flavor. Who do you have on tap musically?

“They are saying things like if you want these amenities, then we will have special assessments,” Slater explained.

“Most people are saying they are unsure.”

In addition, a linear park around the development has also been proposed and the remaining 110 acres would possibly consist of homes, clubhouse, restaurant and a pool.

Despite the gap between the two sides, Slater said NUWI has been involved with the community about their intentions.

Still, the differences remain and Slater said if the new developer can get the residents on board, it would make for a smooth transition.

Still, he figured the open house might have

been an attempt by NUWI to feel out the situation and whether it would make for a good investment.

“I would say the community is frustrated,” Slater added. “They are still waiting to see what they are doing. They aren’t against the project, but saying there is no project.

New Urban West is trying to work with the community and they have a history of that. In a baseball analogy, I would say we are in the first inning.”

NUWI has an agreement to purchase the land from Stuck in Rough owner Michael Schlesinger after a settlement agreement with the city of Escondido. Schlesinger had a contentious relationship with the residents and was fined for dumping chicken manure on the golf course after a battle over the development.

Well I would have to start with Lolita’s Taco Shop. Long live their Cali Burrito! A new discovery is Puesto, which I can’t get enough of. And of course I have to include Lupe’s Taco Shop.

According to the staff report, more than 150 emails, 500 flyers and dozens of phone calls were received protesting the time extension request.

During the commission meeting, all public comments made were against the project and the granting of the time extension.

Dee Folse, a Vista resident said the project just wasn’t a fit in the community.

He also railed against Jaoudi’s plea that he’s spent a lot of money already on the project.

“All these projects are expensive,” Folse said.

“That’s the risk you take on as a developer.”

Jaoudi explained the last four years have been “very difficult.” His wife had passed away and he’s suffered health issues of his own.

“I’m not Shea Homes,

I’m not Standard Pacific, I’m one individual that worked hard all my life and put this thing together,” Jaoudi said in response to critics calling him a “developer.”

Commissioner David Pallinger, representing District 5, said the issue was tremendously complex.

“Obviously development is not for the faint of heart, or somebody that doesn’t have consistent dayin-and-day-out expert advice on processing that map.”

“Typically I try to support individuals that are trying to move forward with projects to provide the much needed housing in the county,” Pallinger said. “And this is just a very unfortunate situation here for Mr. Jaoudi, and I feel for him terribly, but without those issues resolved…I think it’s nearly impossible to make the findings for an extension here. It’s a tragic situation.”

Jaoudi has the ability to appeal the ruling with the County Board of Supervisors.

a huge thing because that really overlaps with everything we have at our convention.”

With Nerd-Con 2015 being such a hit, Jones said they’ve been inundated this year with groups and businesses wanting to get involved through sponsorships.

Though, he said they’ve had to turn those groups and businesses that don’t meet their criteria away.

Those who are on board, however, are part of the group’s philosophy of what they want their event to be. Instead of a commercially driven convention, they want to cultivate a more family-orientated at-

mosphere.

“Sunday’s are typically family days,” Murphy said.

“That’s what we are trying to do with something at Nerd-Con and make it more of a family day and kid-oriented. We will have demonstrations and workshops, Minecraft workshops because kids love Minecraft.”

SWINGS

CONTINUED FROM 14

August, who played ball at Stanford and in the New York Mets organization, said the app works through a sensor attached to the knob of a bat, which collects 10,000 data points and 11 different metrics in four categories.

In short, the app collects the information to develop the perfect swing, August said.

However, he said with the data provided, it is up to the coaches and players to implement the information and apply it on the field.

SwingTracker, though, uses four categories including power, speed, quickness and control to improve a player’s swing.

The information is transferred to the company’s mobile app and web portal, which then is read by coaches and players, August said.

“You have a new level of connection between the coach and the player … and develop a hitting plan,” he explained. “Our 11 different metrics are built into four categories that in our mind are relevant and relative to a baseball/softball swing.”

August, meanwhile, approached SCHS freshmen coach Guy Sabala and CHS varsity coach

17

T he C oast News - I nland E dition Danielle Kinley to pitch the app.

Sabala said the SCHS staff opted to test the program on the freshmen during the end of the season. He said the results have produced better swings much quicker than using older methods.

Sabala said thanks to

We like how we can watch the video, break it down and show the kids.”

Guy Sabala Frosh Baseball Coach, SCHS

the app and the 3D video capability, coaches can identify holes in their players’ swings in an hour or less. Prior to the technology, it could take the coaches weeks of tinkering with a swing before solving the problem.

“We liked it,” he added. “Now we are ready to go for next season, full bore with it. We like how

we can watch the video, break it down and show the kids.”

In addition, the data shows the players how hard they’re striking the ball, if they are hitting the ball square and their exit velocity after making contact.

Sabala said many of the players thought they had good power or contact, but the results said otherwise.

“They might think they are hitting the ball hard, but they are not squaring it up,” he added.

“I am able to show the video … and they are able to see they are not making really good contact with the ball. They can see how they are striking the ball, whether they are topping it, under it, off the end of the bat and getting their hands out too far in front.”

Kinley, meanwhile, is using SwingTracker on 15 varsity players this summer and said it has already helped several athletes improve their swing mechanics.

In addition, she said it could be helpful during games.

“I could see it being very useful in games,” Kinley said. “Game time

and live at-bats have so many variables whereas batting practice is a much more controlled environment. I see athletes do things in live at-bats that they never do in the cages, so it’s a way to look at what is transferring from batting practice and what is not.”

SwingTracker was developed by William Clark, an applied sciences professor from the University of Pittsburgh. According to August, Clark wanted to develop a more objective way of tracking a player’s swing.

From there, the project grew into a national company, which includes MLB, collegiate, travel, and high school youth clubs.

“He was pretty much a baseball, softball dad,” August said. “A lot of it started with a dad wanting to help his kids and help bring some objectivity instead of subjectivity to the recruiting process.”

CSUSM to host grand opening of The Sports Center SAN MARCOS — The Cal State San Marcos Department of Athletics will officially unveil its new, on-campus athletics facility, The Sports Center, in a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 1.

The Sports Center was

Other competitions include a paddleboard team race, and adaptive surfing between top paraplegic athletes.

Surfing legends will also show off their skills in an exhibition heat. Harris could not confirm the list of legends for this year. Previous years have included Mickey Munoz, LJ Richards and David Nuuhiwa.

On shore there will be a festival village with vendor and food booths. Village highlights include Hawaiian dancers and a luau diner on Saturday.

Harris said the contest and festival are about gathering to surf, and supporting youth surfing and the surfing community.

Proceeds go to local high school surf teams and the California Surf Museum.

It’s all done for the love of the sport.

An award ceremony will be held on Sunday to divvy up a $5,000 prize purse for the the Guy Takayama Pro Open, and sister $5,000 prize purse for the Guy Takayama Pro Noseriding competition.

Carlsbad’s Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park attracts visitors

By Christina Macone-Greene

CARLSBAD — Considered a hidden gem in Carlsbad, Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park is a California registered historical landmark that offers a cultural and educational experience for visitors making it a leading tourist attraction.

For those who live in Carlsbad, its neighboring communities, or beyond, visitors enjoy the welcome of roaming peacocks, serene landscape, and handcrafted adobe buildings that punctuate a Spanish-style ranch.

Those who operate and oversee Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park have been commended for maintaining its historical integrity since opening its doors to the pub-

lic in 2003. Behind the scenes, Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc., have worked diligently to make what the destination is today.

Their efforts have spanned years — affording visitors a glimpse into the past, present, and future through outreach, educational

opportunities and community service.

John E. Rodenhausen, current president of the board of directors of Friends of Car-

rillo Ranch, shared that the early vision of this now historical locale was originally built

by Leo Carrillo, a Hollywood celebrity and preservationist.

Carrillo purchased 2,800 acres back in 1937 and often hosted private parties for his friends from the Old Hollywood era.

Today, a walking tour through the adobe buildings highlights particular artifacts, historical Leo Carrillo photographs, and more. Rodenhausen shared that there are literally more than 100,000 photos and artifacts in their archives that bring Carrillo’s story to life.

Guests also get a glimpse of the Ranch during special fundraising events such as the upcoming “Dinner & Movie Night” slated for Aug. 12.

When the city of Carlsbad took the reins of this 27-acre destination, its focus in preserving Carrillo’s “Rancho de los Quiotes” was unwavering.

Rodenhausen explained that in 1990, Alan Kindle, a Carlsbad resident championed the efforts and established a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit educational corporation called the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc. “Despite the surrounding development, if only for a moment, you can still disappear into the canyon and experience what life was like when Leo Carrillo lived on the Ranch. It is a breath of fresh air with much space and over four-and-a-half miles of many different trails to walk,” Rodenhausen said. “There are tours available free of charge through the entire Ranch including the botanical gardens, some dating back to the late 1800’s.”

Rodenhausen pointed out that he often hears from local

residents that they really never knew much about Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park or what it offered.

Following a visit they are so impressed with the locale, he said, that they are telling their friends about it.

“This is a goldmine of history in real life,” Rodenhausen said. “The city has been dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the Ranch beginning in 1998 with the development of the visionary Carrillo Ranch Park Master Plan.”

While the benefits of maintaining this community’s culture site are ongoing, refurbishment also continues to move forward.

The stables and chicken coop reconstruction projects are underway adding another level to this historical heritage.

Rodenhausen went on to say that since the Carrillo Ranch Park Master Plan vision, hundreds of volunteers have donated thousands of hours of community service in support of the park’s programs, visitor’s center, and many family-oriented events.

Volunteers continue to shape the future of Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park. While some find their niche at the visitor center, others have a penchant for becoming a docent for either the children or adult walking tours.

Educational programs for students have made strides at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park. Students learn about its heritage, details about Leo Carrillo, as well crafting a piece of artwork indicative of the ranch.

According to Rodenhausen, teachers who take part in the educational tour are given a survey. In the survey response, 100 percent of the teachers said they would recommend the destination to other educators.

Rodenhausen said the Friends of Carrillo Ranch remain grateful for the continued support they receive that enables them to offer these special programs and tours.

For more information about the Dinner & Movie Night fundraiser, tours, volunteering, special event reservations, or board member involvement call (760) 476-1042 or visit Carrillo-ranch.org.
