Sam Abed endorses Gaspar in supervisor race County orders

By Aaron Burgin

REGION — Escondido Mayor and former Board of Supervisors candidate Sam Abed has endorsed his former opponent, Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, in the Nov. 8 election.

Gaspar is running against incumbent Dist. 3 Supervisor Dave Roberts after the two emerged from the three-candidate June 7 primary election and will face each other in a runoff.

Abed announced the endorsement Tuesday in a news release.

“I am endorsing Kristin Gaspar because she is committed to good fiscal management for San Diego County, will protect the taxpayers’ interests, and restore trust in the office of Supervisor,” Abed said.

Abed took a shot at Roberts, whose 2015 office scandal and county policy violations prompted his en-

try into the race.

“Roberts abused the taxpayers, used his office to advance himself politically, and he’s refused to take responsibility for the more than $300,000 in settlements taxpayers have had to pay because of his personal behavior,” Abed said.

While the endorsement does not a surprise

— both Gaspar and Abed are Republicans — the announcement signals that he and Gaspar have smoothed over their relationship after a rocky primary in which both candidates traded sharp barbs at one another in debates and forums.

Gaspar accepted the endorsement in a statement included in Abed’s

news release.

“Sam Abed has been a strong voice for conservative principles as mayor of Escondido,” Gaspar said.

“He’s helped usher the city into an era of sound fiscal management and growth, while maintaining balanced budgets and creating new jobs. I appreciate his support and look forward to working with him to continue to push sound fiscal policy for the region.”

“Clearly Sam Abed is focused on his political future in the Republican Party with his support of Republican Kristin Gaspar who has endorsed Donald Trump,” said Roberts.

“I am focused on delivering results for the people of my district in a bipartisan manner and will continue to work with Mayor Abed to solve problems with real solutions.”

Recycled water facility gets new site Facility recently came under fire from residents over potential health risks

By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — The City Council last week approved a consulting agreement for the first phase of the redesign of a recycled water facility.

The facility came under fire several weeks ago from residents in the Chaparral Glen neighborhood. Dozens spoke out to the council about the site selection for the planned three-story facility.

Last week, however,

the council authorized an agreement with Black and Veatch Corp., not to exceed $200,000, to study the new site.

Angela Morrow, deputy director of utilities, construction and engineering, reported a new, larger site was picked at Washington Avenue and Ash Street.

For phase I, a Conditional Use Permit will be issued and phase II entails detailed design plans and specifications. The planning commission must approve the CUP before the city council can approve the second phase.

The only speaker said 110 residents in three-story building near the proposed plant are concerned about noise. He said they would like noise abatement mea-

sures to make sure the plant does not disturb those living close by.

Mayor Sam Abed said the concern was noted and pointed out the city must comply with noise ordinances when determining any project. Abed said city staff will relay updates to those residents as the project moves forward.

The previous location was a 3.25-acre lot jammed between two churches and dozens of homes along East Washington Road and El Norte Parkway. The project calls for two buildings, standing at 37 feet tall, to treat 2 million gallons of water per day with designs for accommodating future equipment to provide an additional 1 million gallons of capacity.

Three underground storage tanks would also be installed and they include a 90,000-gallon feeder, 163,000-gallon inter-processer and storage for 970,000 gallons on the 3.25-acre site.

In addition, a 1,500-kilowatt backup generator will be installed. A six-foot wall and decorative fencing will also be erected around the tanks.

The new plant would use membrane filtration and reverse osmosis to produce up to 2 million gallons of water per day.

The recycled water is used for landscaping and agricultural and created to provided a more dependable and sustainable supply. In addition, recycled water allows the city to be less dependent on imported water.

report on Lilac Hills Ranch development

By Aaron Burgin

REGION — Voters will likely decide the fate of a massive master-planned community near Valley Center, but not before the county receives a report analyzing the citizens initiative that would go before the voters.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 to request county staff conduct an independent analysis of the citizens’ initiative before voting on whether it would allow the plan to go before voters Nov. 8.

But the board members indicated they did not want to delay the project, which has been debated for more than a decade, any longer.

“I want voters to go to the polls and be informed,” board Chairman Ron Roberts said.

County staff said the report could be completed by the Aug. 2 board meeting, which would give the county time to place the initiative on the ballot.

Supervisor Bill Horn, whose district is home to the project, 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.

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 adja-

cent to Valley Center and south of Fallbrook. Accretive has spent $3 million in planning fees to this point.

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

Supporters have argued that the project is an example of smart growth,

This could be the future of large scale projects in the county.”

Dianne Jacob County Supervisor

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 TURN TO LILAC HILLS ON 16

Libraries get a different read on Comic-Con

By Promise Yee

REGION — Last week’s Comic-Con brought comics, films, cosplay, exhibits and notable guests to the San Diego Convention Center.

Some of the 130,000 plus who attended were there to hear what goes into creating their favorite science fiction series.

Others went to learn “how to” tips on writing and drawing.

Lisa Ferneau-Haynes, Oceanside senior librarian of youth services, was there to support the merits of graphic novels in teaching literacy.

Like-minded librarians and educators discussed how to use manga and comics for adult literacy and English language learner programs, and shared insights on how to overcome the resistance to comics in schools.

Amy Kleman, Oceanside senior librarian of teen services, said there are many benefits to reading graphic novels, including engaging all age readers.

“One benefit is that graphic novels are a sort of gateway to other materials,” Kelman said. “I’ve had people of all ages tell me they hate to read, then I show them the graphic novels and everything changes.”

Kelman said the nonthreatening nature of graphic novels encourages hesitant readers to pick them up over a chapter book, which they might rule out as “too difficult.”

The book’s pictures help explain the story and engage the reader.

Ferneau-Haynes sees parallel benefits with younger readers. She said the pictures and speech

Incumbents, challengers file paperwork for elections

Reading graphic novels and comic books can be a sort of gateway to other materials, says Amy Kleman, a senior librarian in Oceanside.

bubbles help kids know who’s talking, and gain confidence in their reading skills.

“It’s a wonderful tool to help literacy,” Ferneau-Haynes said.

Publishers have caught onto the power of graphic novels.

“Many classic novels and historical books have been remade as graphic novels, these can be a great source for teaching specific subject matter,” Kelman said.

The Oceanside Public Library carries graphic novels in its kids, teens and adult book selections.

A Comic-Con attendee dresses up as Boba Fett, a character from the “In our Children’s “Star Wars” movies. Photos by Steve Puterski Room you’ll find every-

thing from Garfield to Pokémon to Big Nate,” Kelman said. “In our Teen Zone you’ll find a lot of super hero series, like Batman and Justice League and Manga titles.”

Adult graphic novels include The Walking Dead series.

Kelman said she encourages teens to read graphic novels, and chooses one as a selection for the Teen Book Club every other month.

“I find the book discussions and interest levels go way up on those months,” Kelman said.

The bottom line for the library is to encourage reading in all its formats.

ESCONDIDO — Seven candidates in three races have pulled papers for various offices in the city.

Incumbent city council members Olga Diaz and Mike Morasco each have announced their bids for re-election in Districts 3 and 4, respectively.

The challengers, so far, are Pastor Jose (Joe) Garcia and attorney Ingrid Rainey in Districts 3 and 4, respectively.

A trio of Escondido residents, meanwhile, is bidding for city treasurer.

Incumbent Kenneth Hugins is being challenged

by Douglas Shultz, a financial planner, and John Trudell, a certified public accountant.

Morasco, the deputy mayor, was appointed to the council in 2010 and was elected in 2012 and won re-election in 2014.

Diaz, meanwhile, was elected to the council in 2008 and re-elected in 2012.

She lost her mayoral bid in 2014, but is the first-ever Latina elected to the council.

The filing period began on July 18 and runs through Aug. 12, unless an incumbent does not file the paperwork.

Should an incumbent not file, the deadline extends to Aug. 17.

Candidates must pay a $25 fee to file or gather 100 signatures to be certified.

Early voting commences Oct. 10, the voter registration deadline is Oct. 24 and the election is Nov. 8.

San Marcos unveils draft electoral district maps

Delays continue to hinder dredging in Oceanside Harbor

By Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — Last Friday dredging operations to move sand out of the harbor channel and onto Oceanside beaches were down again. Annual federal dredging operations to clear the harbor of built up sand got a late start this year, and have seen numerous delays due in part to weather.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) oversees operations, and is in the process of extending this year’s dredging permit from the current Aug. 4 deadline to the end of August.

“Our goal is always to get about 200,000 cubic yards (of sand dredged) and make the channel navigable for critical boats, commercial boating, recreational boating, fishing and naval operations,” Col. Kirk Gibbs, commander of USACE Los Angeles District, said. “Where we’re at for this year is about 30 percent of that goal.”

Annual dredging is usually completed by Memorial Day. This year, operations began on June 6, and have run into big swells and high beach and harbor use.

The delayed start was due to a vetting process to ensure CJW Construction, which had the lowest bid for the job, could do the work.

Then operations closed for the July 4 weekend to avoid impeding holiday boating. Other temporary shut downs were due to high swells.

“The weather has been a primary concern, and a challenge for us,” Gibbs said.

The main harbor channel is shallower than usual this year due to extra sand brought in by El Niño weather.

‘We actually hope to get more than the 200,000 cubic yards,” Gibbs said. “Based on the swell conditions while we’ve been trying to dredge, it’s still at a high level, but we’ve making progress every day. We will get that (channel) open.”

Another factor is CJW is a smaller dredging company then used in previous years, with smaller equipment. Its operations have been sorely

impacted by the high swells.

Numerous repairs to the dredge barge and support vessels have been necessary.

Wave heights over three-feet have exceeded equipment capability.

To keep operations moving forward extra dredging equipment was brought in, in July to expedite operations, and the work schedule was stepped up to 24/6, on days not shut down by weather. A new mooring system has allowed operations to continue through wave heights greater than threefeet.

As of July 22, 68,800 cubic yards of sand has been dredged from the harbor and put onto city beaches.

Dredging is completed on the right side of the channel and will move to the left side this coming week.

Ocean conditions look promising to allow the work to get done.

Adding sand to beaches is a beneficial byproduct of operations that is important to the city and USACE. On the beach three-foot wide dredge pipes, currently located between the North Coast Village vacation condos and Surfrider Way, are buried when possible. Pipes that sit on the sand are marked, and sand access ramps have been formed at 60 feet intervals to allow people to get to the beach.

Beachgoers seem to have adapted. They use the access ramps and set up beach chairs and umbrellas on both sides of the pipes.

Beachfront homeowners have expressed concerns about unsightly equipment storage, and the negative impact operations have had on vacation rentals.

To lessen operation impacts, equipment storage has been screened and some storage was moved away from the beach in late June.

The USACE has vowed to make sure future dredging is completed by Memorial Day to avoid impacting summer enjoyment of the harbor and beaches. Gibbs said another lesson learned is equipment to deal with adverse weather conditions needs to be on site.

SAN MARCOS — San Marcos recently unveiled two proposals for electoral districts in advance of the first of three public hearings devoted to the overhaul of its current election system.

The city could become the second in North County to switch to district-based elections from the current system, where officials are elected in citywide elections.

The two draft maps can be seen on the city website at san-marcos.net/ districting.

City officials are considering the move after a prominent attorney threatened the city with a lawsuit, claiming that the city’s at-large system “dilutes the ability of ...

Latinos... to elect the candidate of their choice or otherwise influence the outcome of San Marcos’ council elections.”

Cities statewide who have faced similar lawsuits have paid $15 million to lawyers who have brought forth the suits, according to a city staff report.

According to the letter, San Marcos, which is 37 percent Latino, had not elected a minority council member in 22 years.

The city’s most recent election in 2014 was cancelled after no candidates emerged to challenge the incumbents.

At least one elected official is reluctant in his support of the move to district elections. Mayor Jim Desmond said the city’s move insulates them from lawsuits, but also creates the potential for divisiveness.

“The positives are in the minds of Sacramento legislators,” Desmond said.

“The (law’s) intent is to insure underrepresented people are represented in local government. The city

of San Marcos treats everyone fairly.

“The major drawback for a city our size is division of neighborhoods and the possibility of divisive outcomes instead of decisions based on the greater good of the entire city,” Desmond said.

The two maps would create four voting district with at least one district where the majority of registered voters would be Latino.

In both maps, the Latino district would encircle the city’s Richmar neighborhood, where elected officials and affordable housing developers have poured millions of dollars into transforming the once-notorious community.

In draft map No. 1, the voting district No. 1 would include Richmar and stretch from Poinsettia Avenue to the west, Twin Oaks Valley Road to the east, the 78 Freeway

to the South and Borden Road and Comet Circle to the north. The district would be 72 percent Hispanic and 42 percent of the registered voters as of Nov. 2014.

In draft map No. 2, District 1 would extend further east to Woodland Parkway and its southwestern boundary would shift.

The district would still have about 70 percent Hispanics.

The fifth seat on the council, the mayoral post, would still be elected citywide.

The San Marcos City Council met Tuesday and host public hearings on Aug. 9 and Sept. 27, at which time they could introduce the ordinance that would change the elections.

These changes would not go into effect until 2018, when two seats on the council would be up for re-election.

Play golf to help heal our heroes

By Bianca Kaplanek

RANCHO SANTA FE — A limited number of sponsorship and playing opportunities are still available to help heal our heroes during the ninth annual Operation Game On Golf Classic, which will be held Aug. 15 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. and will be followed by driving and putting practice, the presentation of colors at 10:15 a.m. and a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m.

Operation Game On was created in 2008 by Rancho Santa Fe resident Tony Perez to give returning combat-injured troops suffering from physical and mental disabilities a custom introduction-to-golf package.

Participating troops undergoing treatment at the Naval Medical Center San Diego and Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton receive golf lessons from PGA-certified instructors and a professional fitting session at The Kingdom at TaylorMade Golf.

They also receive custom-fitted clubs, bags, shoes and gloves, as well as playing opportunities throughout the county at no cost to them, the hospital or the military.

Doctors, prosthetic specialists and counselors have found golf provides mental and physical rehabilitation that rapidly allows combat-injured troops to regain confidence and enjoy an active lifestyle again.

Army Sgt. 1st Class Rowena Darwin and Marine Cpl. Gabe Palacios have proven that to be true. Both have participated in the program for a little more than a year. Neither played the game much before that.

“Instead of me feeling insecure, it gives me a reason to get outside because I have to practice,” Darwin said. “I was in isolation.

Now I play in tournaments

“Playing golf helps me concentrate and not think a lot about my stressors,” she added. “I find myself smiling. Just being out-

side changes my mood. I’m not inside thinking about things I don’t want to think about.”

Darwin has since started playing tennis and sailing and will compete in a regatta in New York. She

also advocates for Operation Game On. “I’ve shared it with so many people and they’re enjoying it,” she said. “It’s amazing how they’ve transTURN TO HEROES ON 16

Protecting our community plan

By Hershell Price

On July 5, our Del Mar City Council gave unanimous approval for the Initiative entitled: “Voter Approval for Certain Development Projects,” to be placed on the November General Election Ballot for voter approval.

This approval was the culmination of the efforts led by Arnold Wiesel, the Del Mar Hillside Community Association and the grass-roots efforts of many of our Del Mar residents.

To accomplish this task, 284 resident signatures were required but over 500 were collected by resident volunteers.

What does this Initiative do: It allows our Del Mar citizens to have the final say in changes to our Community Plan involving Commercial Zone properties of 25,000 square feet or larger.

Red light camera fate now uncertain in state California Focus

By Thomas D. Elias

T

here are few worse feelings for a driver than receiving a letter purporting to show that person in the act of running a red light.

But not many legal items are less enforceable or reliable, despite what the California Supreme Court said in an early summer ruling that held red light camera photos and videos have “a presumption of authenticity.”

There’s a reason traffic cops routinely demand that drivers sign the bottom of every ticket they write: That signature constitutes a promise either to pay a fine or appear in court on a specified date.

Drivers make no such promise on red light tickets, which normally carry fines of about $480.

That was one reason the city of Los Angeles abandoned red light cameras in 2012.

The decision came about a year after that city’s police chief, Charlie Beck, candidly admitted that no actions were being taken against drivers who simply ignored red light camera violation notices. Because they’re not routinely sent as certified or registered mail (too costly), prosecutors cannot prove drivers are lying if they say they never got the mailed tickets.

This in effect creates two classes of citizens, in apparent violation of the equal protection clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment: drivers who dutifully pay up the almost $500 fines on demand and scofflaws who don’t, and pay nothing. There could hardly be more unequal treatment.

There’s also the issue of red light camera reliability.

The nub of the case against

cited drivers is usually a videotape which drivers can often see via an Internet link provided in the mailed violation notice.

Since the vast bulk of red light camera tickets involve drivers making rolling stops rather than full stops before right turns, the accuracy of videos is critical. A still photo may place a driver in the middle of a turn during a red light, but doesn’t establish that he or she didn’t stop before proceeding with the turn.

If the video camera doesn’t run precisely at lifespeed, but is a little faster, a vehicle can appear to be

operating companies, cities often don’t make much profit from the cameras, while annoying thousands of their citizens and visitors.

There’s disagreement in Oakland, for one example, over how much the city made last year from the 11 red light cameras it then had operating: The city says it netted just $280,000, while Redflex said the city share came to about $1.1 million. Oakland police are now auditing paid fines to see which figure is closest to correct.

In Poway, near San Diego, cameras at three intersections netted between

$100,000 and $218,000 per year.

Apparently, those smallish receipts were not enough for either city to put up with complaints about cameras violating privacy and the exorbitantly high fines for rolling stops before right turns.

All of which means red light cameras are at a different kind of crossroad: The state’s highest court says drivers don’t have the right to cross-examine camera operations because of the presumption of accuracy in their findings, while some of the state’s largest cities have shut their cameras down.

The upshot is that unfair as the cameras may be if they’re not properly calibrated, their fate in many places will hang not on traffic safety, but on the city budget dollars they produce, regardless of anyone’s constitutional rights.

and the height of homes exceed the existing zoning code, that plan would have to be approved by the voters.

As citizens of Del Mar, we are all in this together and we should do everything possible to protect our Community Plan.

On Election Day, Nov. 8, the following ballot question will be asked of you by the city of Del Mar: “Shall the ordinance which proposes to amend the Del Mar Community Plan, Housing Element, and Municipal Code to require voter approval for certain development projects be adopted?”

We must provide the answer: YES or NO I urge you to vote YES! Hershell Price is a Del Mar resident.

Letters to the Editor Lilac Hills Ranch ballot measure: Boom or bust?

Probably an even more closely watched contest than California’s current Powerball Mega-Millions drawing, will be finding out who claims the winning ticket on Lilac Hills Ranch Ballot Measure in San Diego’s General Election in November. Will registered voters in San Diego approve, or disapprove the Lilac Hills Ranch Ballot Measure?

While pundits used

In Poway, near San Diego, cameras at three intersections netted between $100,000 and $281,000 perr year. rolling through the stop, when it fact it made a full stop. In several cases where police have been cross-examined about how often their video cameras are calibrated, they testified they didn’t know, that it was up to the camera operator — usually Redflex Traffic Systems or American Traffic Solutions, both based in Arizona. But those firms are never available for cross-examination in court and the Supreme Court said they don’t have to be.

So while drivers contesting red light camera tickets can usually question a cop, they can’t cross-examine the ultimate witness against them, an egregious violation of a basic constitutional right, no matter what the state justices may say.

But legal reasons are not the main cause for removal of red light cameras in Poway, Oakland and most other cities that have gotten rid of them: finances are.

Because more than half the take from each $480 fine goes to the state or the

the zoning to create a Specific Plan where the allowed density, height of buildings, floor area ratio and lot coverage are changed or modified, the development plan must be submitted to the voters before final approval can be granted.

Why is this Initiative important to Del Mar residents: Our Community Plan defines what we want our community to be; it serves to protect our quality of life now and into the future.

It cannot be taken for granted and major changes should not be able to be made by only three city council members.

For example, if a developer wants to change a North Commercial Zone property to 48 homes where only one home is now allowed, where sacred Torrey Pines will be cut down and natural bluffs will be destroyed, where very little natural open space is preserved

to call contests like this a “million dollar question,” during 2016, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Although I couldn’t accurately estimate a value figure, I imagine calculations are being formed already, as analysts on both sides anguish over the outcome.

Actually, voters might get an early hint soon, or at least be able to examine how Lilac Hills Ranch Specific Plan will be described in the 2016 Voter’s Guide, as a new

impartial analysis will be prepared and released soon by SD County Registrar of Voters.

In fact, a new 10-day Impact Report by county staff will be released publicly on July 28, to inform the Board of Supervisors for further action on whether to place the project as a ballot measure.

The countdown is imminent until the next clue is released.

Veteran of WWII, Korea is embodiment of U.S. Marines tended ordnance school in Quantico, Va., in July 1943.

It was in September he met Skippy and the two were married months later.

“I convinced my wife and said, ‘If you want to do it now, you have to marry me,’ because I expected to go over seas,” Freudenberger said. “We met at a dance, but I’m not a big dancer. Near the end of the night, I saw Skip walk out and she was just beautiful. I said I’m going to marry that gal.”

CARLSBAD — For 22 years, Vic Freudenberger of Carlsbad was the embodiment of the U.S. Marines.

And for 40 years, he was a staple of community service in North County.

The 96-year-old Philadelphia native survived World War II, the Korean War and became a decorated volunteer in Vista for 40 years after his military service.

Freudenberger signed up for the Marines in Philadelphia in the 1930s and was shipped to boot camp at Parris Island, S.C. He married his wife, Skippy, 72 years ago in January 1944 and now cares for her at their La Costa Glen home.

The two started a family with their first daughter, Sharon, born in 1946 and the second, Laurie, in 1952.

The war effort Freudenberger joined the First Parachute Battalion where he saw action at Guadalcanal and was wounded during the battle of Gavutu, Solomon Islands on Aug. 7, 1942.

He was awarded the Purple Heart after taking fragments to the leg.

As the soldiers moved between islands, the Japanese dug in and waited.

caves as Freudenberger was hit by mortar shrapnel and four of his “very best friends” were killed.

“I was evacuated later at night,” Freudenberger said. “On the second night, the Japanese Navy caught our Navy by surprise and sunk four cruisers. The admiral, at that point, was so concerned about losing his (aircraft) carrier and pulled out with half our supplies.”

Freudenberger was

transported to Auckland, New Zealand and underwent two surgeries to remove the fragments. Of the 390 men in his battalion, 34 were killed and 50 wounded.

Freudenberger, meanwhile, spent six weeks in the hospital.

During his tour, though, the Carlsbad man completed three night jumps, one of which ended with his unit landing in a Japanese artillery

camp. Fortunately, the enemy was engaged with a movie on the small French-controlled island of New Caledonia.

“There was an army division there,” he recalled.

In December 1942, Freudenberger was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and assigned as a paratrooper instructor at Camp LeJeune, N.C. Soon after, he transferred to the 4th Division and at-

Continued service After World War II ended, he opted to stay with the Marines and rose through the ranks and continued his education.

He was assigned to Camp Pendleton in January 1950 with the 1st Ordinance Battalion, 1st Marine Division.

In September, he deployed to Korea and fought in the Inchon, Korea invasion where he was awarded the Bronze Star.

“Inchon, where we landed, had a 30-foot tide, one of the largest in the world,” Freudenberger said. “The ships were bouncing off each other.”

The troops also battled sub-freezing temperatures along with the Viet Cong and Chinese.

He spent 10 months in Korea before returning

stateside.

“We were working during the day and fighting at nighttime,” Freudenberger explained.

In 1958, he graduated from the University of Maryland.

Two years later, Freudenberger retired from the Marines attaining the rank of major.

Local office 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 criti-

cism. “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 medi-

cally 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 overnight,”

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 increas-

ing 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.

Rescued sea lions show special friendship Prof throws knowledge and REGION — In its more than 44-year history, Helen Woodward Animal Center has seen the rescue of thousands of pets. On July 7, however, center team members were on hand to witness the final chapter of a rescue unlike any they had ever experienced.

Hosted by SeaWorld San Diego, Center staff took the boat ride five miles off the coast of La Jolla to witness the return of seven rehabilitated California sea lions to their own forever home — the Pacific Ocean. However, one heart-warming duo in the group of marine mammals had something special to demonstrate before taking to the sea — that love and friendship can go to some truly amazing depths.

Helen Woodward Animal Center has been the grateful recipient of the extraordinary rescue efforts of SeaWorld on more than one occasion. In 2013, the marine-focused organization assisted Helen Woodward Animal Center with the rescue of close to 60 orphan dogs and cats after Hurricane Sandy. In 2014, when the Bernardo Fire forced the evacuation of nearly 400 HWAC animals, SeaWorld took a wide variety of critters (dogs, cats, chickens, mini horses, snakes, rabbits, and even hissing cockroaches) to their facility, keeping them safe until they could return to Helen Woodward Animal Center grounds. SeaWorld’s rescue numbers have increased from previous years due to the El Niño and an ongoing Unusual Mortality Event declared by the National Marine Fisheries Service for California sea lions a few years ago.

several weeks at SeaWorld being treated for starvation, dehydration and, in some cases, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, pneumonia and other illnesses caused by compromised immune systems. Whatever friendships may have formed between the animals during those weeks of recovery, no one will ever know, but with the pups back to a good weight and free from any secondary infections, SeaWorld’s stranded animal coordinator, Jody Westberg, drove the rescue boat (appropriately named Second Chance) out to sea to a place where the water depth provided the recovered animals the best chance to competitively forage for food and have a second chance at life.

During the ride, two sea lions in particular cuddled together like puppies, snoozing in the sun as they awaited their return to the ocean. Arriving at the ap-

propriate location, the doors of the boat were opened and, as expected, the sea lions dove straight in. All, that is, but one.

One of the sea lions who had cuddled with his friend seemed to have cold fins when it came to taking his dive. He shuffled his way to the edge but then returned to his transport unit while the other pups danced in the water below.

He tried it again, but lost his nerve. Only minutes later, seeing his friend still waiting on the boat, the fellow cuddler swam back, looking over the boat’s edge, and then climbing back into the boat and into the crate where his friend sat.

If a member of the public sees a marine animal that appears to be ill, injured or abandoned, alert local authorities or call SeaWorld’s Rescue Hotline at (800) 541-SEAL, or report the animal at SeaWorldSanDiego.com.

OCEANSIDE — You can’t help but notice MiraCosta College associate business instructor and Carlsbad resident, Sean Smith — especially in the classroom.

“I have a fond place for community colleges,” said Smith, 40, who stands at 6-feet-5-inches tall, weighs 280 pounds and can throw a 16-pound hammer 113 feet.

After graduating from a community college in 1997, Smith transferred to the University of La Verne and earned an undergraduate degree in behavioral science in 1999. He later went on to earn an MBA with an emphasis in marketing in 2001, also at La Verne.

A champion of community college education, Smith is also a Scottish Highland Games champion. Smith, a lifelong athlete, participated in various sports throughout high school and college including baseball, football, basketball, and track and field. This competitive nature continued even when most people would have considered him past his prime.

“I was 35 years old when my former track coach at La Verne asked me if I wanted to come back and throw for the team,” said Smith. “That was my first taste competing in field games.”

His participation grew when he learned about the Scottish Highland Games from fellow teammates. He was later invited by competitors of the Scottish Highland Games to practice sessions in Encinitas. Smith thrived, and in less than one year, advanced through the ranks and moved all the way up to the A-level where he now competes.

The annual Scottish Highland Games is an ancient Scottish tradition that was first played in Scotland more than 1,400 years ago.

It features feats of strength with competitors throwing braemar stones, pound hammers, pound weights and cabers nearly the size of telephone poles.

“It’s been a great way to keep in shape,” said Smith, who so far has lost 20 pounds through training. “I know I am a lot stronger and more active than I have been in a long time.”

Since competing, Smith has amassed some achievements in the games.

“I know Father Time will come and kick me in the butt at some point. For now, I’m just trying to ride

it out, have fun and make more friends,” said Smith.

“Maybe one day I’ll even have the opportunity to help and train others who are just starting out.”

In the classroom he’s already doing just that.

“Sometimes I show my students pictures or videos of me competing,” he says.

“If anything, I show it to them as an example that you can do things that you didn’t know you could.”

In late August 2016, Smith will compete in the two-day Scottish Masters Athletics International in Buffalo, New York.

Currently, he is ranked fifth in his master’s class, but hopes to break into the top three by the end of the games.

Paws to Read pairs dogs with early readers

By Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — The Mission Branch Library conference room was set up with a rack of books and colorful floor cushions for young readers on Wednesday. Listening partners sat close by or lay on their back with legs in the air.

Pet therapy dogs Kiwi, Victoria and Baron partnered with young readers to provide an affectionate audience for kids to practice word-decoding skills.

The Paws to Read program is held monthly at the Mission Branch Library and Civic Center Library. About a dozen kids under age 10 attend the program.

Valerie Martinez, 6,

of Oceanside, has been participating ever since she started to read a year ago.

“Kids love reading to the dogs, parents enjoy having an opportunity for their kids to practice reading without the pressure of peers,” Lisa Ferneau-Haynes, senior librarian of youth services, said.

The goal of the program is to have one-onone dog and child reading partners. When there is a high turn out of readers, kids take turns reading a page of a book to a listening dog.

Mary Gleisberg, Love on a Leash San Diego North County Coastal chapter leader, said the

Take the summer Adventure Train Northbound vince vasquez

A

summer adventure out of North County could be cheaper than

you think.

Last weekend, I finally had some time to take a day trip I’ve always wanted to make — San Clemente.

A small coastal town in south Orange County, San Clemente is home to three fantastic craft breweries (Artifex, Left Coast and Pizza Port), and accessible by rail. I’ve been meaning to take the train up from Carlsbad for some beer tasting with a friend, but it’s about $30 for a round trip Amtrak ticket on weekdays.

Not that great of a deal, considering I could drive up and spend less in gas. Weekends, however, are far more inexpensive.

Metrolink, a Southern California commuter rail agency, offers a $10 weekend pass across its network, which

stretches from Oceanside (Oceanside Transit Center) to downtown Los Angeles (Union Station). Passengers can take as many stops as they’d like, all using the same ticket; trains leaving Oceanside leave as early as 8:15 a.m. and as late as 5:36 p.m.

I previously attempted to take the Metrolink this winter for a trip to LA, but missed my train due to a long line to purchase tickets at a ticket kiosk.

Little did I know I could have downloaded the Metrolink phone app for free, and made my purchase quickly and easily.

Upon boarding my train, I was surprised at the number of people I saw — particularly families with young children, departing for a short trip up north. I guess the word’s gotten out about this great weekend deal.

From Oceanside, it’s only a 20-minute ride to the San Clemente Pier station, which saddles the coast.

Departing the train, I was immediately enthralled by the number of happy beach goers, enjoying the great weather and summertime fun. Everyone seemed to be swimming, surfing, and playing beach games.

It reminded me of an old trip I took to northern coastal Spain, to a small resort village near the French border.

I could have stayed in that moment forever. It was a perfect day.

We took my friend’s car to visit the breweries (she drove from LA), but Pizza Port — San Clemente is walkable from the train station, about a 15-minute walk. For craft beer enthusiasts, I recommend the Jon Solo IPA at Pizza Port, the Trigger Finger West Coast IPA at Artifex, and the Nuclear Chi Chis Grapefruit Session IPA at Left Coast.

Next time, I think I’ll take the Metrolink up to San Juan Capistrano — the train station is a block away from Mission San Juan Capistrano, which I’ve always wanted to visit, and some other interesting sites as well.

For a $10 roundtrip, it’s a great deal for North County residents, no matter where you go.

For your next summer adventure, avoid the traffic, paid parking, and travel hassles, and take the Metrolink there!

ummer rolled in and, if I did a strict accounting, I’d have to admit summertime still puts me speaking terms with more than one of the seven deadly sins.

Heck, my summer mode throws out the welcome mat for sloth to join in the fun, plus that yearround favorite, gluttony.

But keeping in mind that this is a family column, I will quickly tell you I am referring to envy.

I sat along the seashore yesterday idly watching my children, as I tried to keep the sand and seagulls away from the cooler.

The kids didn’t care that the water was 60-something degrees.

They didn’t care that the saltwater stung their eyes.

They didn’t care that they went tush over teakettle several times from unexpected waves. They didn’t care that those same waves planted grit in every nook and cranny from hair to toes.

They did not care when they ran up and plopped, wet and happy, into the warm sand, only

to add to the nook and cranny quotient.

I watched them run right into the ocean without hesitation and stay in there for 45 minutes.

They munched on semi-sandy snacks, dug, built castles, harassed sad crabs and played tag.

They refused a hat or sunglasses — squinting was just fine. They were utterly swept up in the world of being young and absolutely carefree at the beach.

I remember those days. I remember them so vividly that I wonder how I got so very far from that point of freedom and carelessness.

I’d like to blame it on the responsibilities of motherhood, but the real culprit is the evil adolescence and being female.

The first time you realize how much of your skin was showing and that saltwater does not make for lovely hairdos, that freedom begins to crumble.

I can’t go backward.

Instead, I will just let my children have their day in the sun while I settle in for another summer of comfortable envy, with a dash of sitting-in-the-sun sloth.

Wrath and greed will just have to wait their turn.

Grunion season promises another month of slippery silver fish Foundation brings

outdoors to local disadvantaged kids

By Promise Yee

REGION — The grunion season, which lasts from March to August, looks to hold a month of promising hand fishing this year.

Grunion are slippery, silver fish that swim onto the wet beach sand by the hundreds to lay their eggs.

They are a magnificent natural wonder to see, but there are specific rules about catching them.

While they come to shore for six months, the open season to catch them is in March, and June through August.

The months of April and May are a closed observation period. For those two months volunteer “grunion greeters” record information on the fish for NOAA and other science research.

Grunion swim onto the beach to spawn four nights after the full moon, and four nights after the new moon.

During open season they must be caught by hand. No dug holes, nets or traps can be used, which actually makes catching them that much more fun.

REGION — The San Diego Foundation announced $400,300 in grants for 10 local programs that will connect, protect and increase access to green space and nature throughout the region. The foundation’s aim is to allow more than 5,000 youth, from park-poor and low-income communities, to experience the outdoors.

The 2016 Opening the Outdoors Program grants will support education and environmental efforts across San Diego, including two sites in North County.

“The abundance of outdoor space and access to nature are reasons why residents and visitors alike cherish our region for its stunning natural beauty,” said Emily Young, vice president of Community Impact at The San Diego Foundation. “These projects reflect a commitment

by The San Diego Foun-

A grunion spawns on a San Diego beach. The upcoming grunion runs are expected to begin Aug. 2.

Since fishing occurs at night it is recommended that fishers bring a flashlight. A catch bucket is also suggested.

People over the age of 16 that “hunt” for grunion must have a fishing license. Kids under 16 do not need a license to fish.

Grunion frequent most local beaches. Oceanside lifeguards say a popular grunion hunting spot is Harbor Beach in Oceanside, during high tide.

Most people catch

grunion and use them for bait, but the fish are edible, too.

Suggestions for those who want to eat their catch is to scale and gut the fish, then cook them for two to three minutes on each side until brown. Grunion can also be grilled by coating them in oil and wrapping them in a foil packet.

Serving suggestions are to squeeze lemon over the cooked fish and eat, or use the meat in a fish taco.

According to Califor-

nia Fish and Wildlife upcoming grunion runs are expected Aug. 2 through Aug. 5, and Aug. 18 to Aug. 20.

Grunion runs last around two hours. The Aug. 2 run is estimated to start at 9:30 p.m., and begin an additional 40 minutes later each night thereafter.

On Aug. 18 the run is estimated to start at 9:50 p.m., and be an added 40 minutes later each following night.

The North County donations include a grant of $35,577 from the San Diego Zoo, for Backyard Biodiversity Hotspot, with in collaboration with the Escondido Creek Conservancy and Escondido Union School District. The project will create a threepart program for 800 underserved students. The program will include one environmental education classroom session, a trip to the Outdoor Learning Lab, and a field trip to the Elfin Forest Reserve for handson experience. Students will learn environmental techniques such as water testing, trap data collection, and plant and animal identification. The partnership will also develop a new online curriculum available to all teachers.

The second North County grant of $25,000, came from the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy for the San Dieguito Watershed Explorers Program. The project will expand nature education programs to the San Dieguito watershed, by taking students to different areas along the 55-mile stretch of land.

Instructors will help students recognize the role they play in keeping the natural community a thriving ecosystem, and new training resources for docents will enhance the quality of the outdoor experiences. San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy will enlist the support of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, San Diego Archaeological Center and Volcan Mountain Foundation.

The Opening the Outdoors Program was established in 2012 in response to key findings in Parks for Everyone, a 2010 report commissioned by The San Diego Foundation, that found while 45 percent of San Diego County’s total land area is green space, many low-income, ethnically diverse communities have limited access to parks and open spaces.

The Opening the Outdoors program closes this gap by providing more equitable opportunities for San Diego youth to grow up with access to nature and similar, shared experiences outside.

The Opening the Outdoors Program is supported by a collaboration of funders that include The San Diego Foundation, Satterberg Foundation (in partnership with San Diego Grantmakers), Hattie Ettinger Conservation Fund at The San Diego Foundation and other generous Foundation donors.

Fitz and the Tantrums seen in a new light

By Alan Sculley

Noelle Scaggs has already heard some people calling the new self-titled album from her band, Fitz and the Tantrums, a sellout album.

There are reasons why that conclusion might seem logical.

“Fitz and the Tantrums” is more top 40 pop oriented than the group’s first two outings, with plenty of songs bouncy tunes (the top 5 alternative rock single “HandClap,” “Complicated” and “Tricky”) that feel tailored to the breezy/dancy sound of mainstream pop radio.

The album also marks the first time the group has worked with outside songwriters — and these collaborators include Sam Hollander, Wallpaper’s Ricky Reed, Jesse Shatkin and Joel Little, writers with track records of writing pop radio hits.

Such collaborations commonly happen at the urging of a band’s record label. Many label executives believe the best path to creating hit songs is to pair their acts with song-

writers that have already proven they can write hits.

But far from viewing the new album as an attempt to elevate Fitz and the Tantrums to the level of bona fide pop stars, Scaggs sees the third album as a key step in elevating the group’s artistry and an album that digs deeper lyrically than the first two albums.

“This entire new album, for me, with writing with the different writers, getting a perspective on yourself, telling the truth about who you are and being conscious about it, this is for me our growth record as a band,” she said in a recent phone interview.

A lot has happened in a fairly short time to bring Fitz and the Tantrums to this stage. The group’s debut EP, 2009’s “Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1,” and first full-length album, the 2010 release “Pickin’ Up The Pieces,” got the band labeled as retro-soul act

HCO#374700020

for a sound that mixed elements of vintage soul and Motown with upbeat pop and rock.

Not wanting to be stuck in a retro-soul box, the group broadened their sound considerably on the 2013 album, “More Then Just a Dream.” The soul/Motown elements remained, but the sound was more modern, and leaned more toward alternative rock and modern pop.

The stylistic shift worked well on a musical level and also gave Fitz and the Tantrums a commercial breakthrough. The singles “Out of My League” and “The Walker” both topped “Billboard” magazine’s Alternative Songs chart, and positioned the band for a major stardom.

But making the self-titled album came with some challenges for singer/chief songwriter Mike “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, singer/ songwriter Scaggs and the other members of Fitz and

the Tantrums (sax player James king, keyboardist Jeremy Ruzumna, drummer John Wicks and bassist Joseph Karnes) headed into the project.

After finishing touring behind “More Than Just a Dream,” the group members took their first real break from the band.

After a couple of months, Fitzpatrick and Scaggs attempted to start writing songs for the new album.

But the creative juices weren’t flowing, and that’s when thoughts of looking outside of the band to help move along the process came into play.

“Fitz and I were still, he had severe writer’s block,” Scaggs said. “I was on the verge of it. I was just like coming up with all of these ideas, and I’d like them one minute and the next they’re just not working…Fitz and I decidTURN TO FITZ ON 16

Carlsbad girls softball team raises the bar, and the trophy

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Long a hotbed for talent on the diamond, the one elusive title has finally made the city its home.

On July 10, the Carlsbad 12U Vendetta All-Star softball team captured its first-ever Amateur Softball Association Southern California state championship after a pair of victories over Escondido.

The win vaulted the girls into next week’s western national tournament in Kingman, Ariz.

Carlsbad, along with 28 other teams from California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico will compete in the double-elimination tournament.

The Vendetta has played as their name suggests — going on a blitzkrieg all season and piling up a 36-2-1 record — plus winning the Northern San Diego district tournament.

“In fact, we don’t win many district championships,” assistant coach Jeff Jarrard said. “Winning state was something we wanted to do. We told the girls, if we can win state, there is a great chance you’re going to win nationals.”

The Southern California region ranges from south of Santa Monica down to Bonita Valley.

About the only thing slowing down the Vendetta is the lack of open fields for practices as the squad prepares for the national tournament.

“It’s pretty crazy because no Carlsbad team has won it,” said left fielder Kaitlyn McKibben. “We work together pretty well.”

Just about every year, the Carlsbad softball team’s season has come to an end, so the fields are used for other activities. This year, however, is throwing a wrench in those plans.

Since there is a shortage, the club practiced this past week at Carlsbad High School.

“It’s been really fun,” said catcher/first baseman Laurel Moody. “We hit the ball hard and make them (their opponents) make errors. We’re patient, too.”

Dominance began right off the bat as the Vendetta blasted and battered its opponents to start the season 17-0.

Their run for perfection ended with a 4-4 tie against Los Alamitos on June 11 followed eight days later with the team’s first loss, 3-2 against Charter Oaks.

“During practice, we all focus on our goals we want to accomplish,” said pitcher/shortstop London Jarrord.

The Vendetta 12-and-under softball team raises the Carlsbad Softball Association’s first-ever Southern California state championship trophy two weeks ago. The club qualified for the Amateur Softball Association’s Western National Tournament in Kingman, Ariz., next week.

In the district tournament, the Carlsbad team was upended 5-3 by Escondido and relegated to the loser’s bracket. However, the girls showed their moxie with three straight wins to win the title, including revenge victories of 10-0 and 3-1 over Escondido.

At state, the Vendetta blew through the opening rounds and slipped past Bonita Valley, 5-4, before dropping Thousand Oaks twice to win the championship.

“It’s fun,” Jarrard said.

“It’s been a good, good run. The last game against Thousand Oaks we’re down 4-1 … and it started with a little hit with two outs. The next six girls hit balls in the gaps … and we went into the last inning up 15-7 and won 15-11.”

Typical of any softball success, the old cliché of good hitting, pitching and defense is an instant talking point. For the Vendetta, the old saying rings true.

The team has pitched nine shutouts and allowed just one or two runs in 13 other games. It’s no wonder the club rolled through the opposition.

Perhaps the most important ingredient, though, is the chemistry of the players, Jarrard said.

The girls played with

travel teams, but put went on hiatus to compete in the Carlsbad Youth League with the goal of winning state and nationals.

Four of the girls began playing with each other when they were on the 8U team and the others have mixed in, as they got older.

“There is not a real superstar on the team,” Jarrard said. “They can all hit, which is the amazing part. Chemistry is great; the girls all like each other.

The parents all get along and they (the players) all accept their roles.”

In addition to the three aforementioned players, the others representing Carlsbad are Brianna Shea, Emma Bissi, Hannah Suemnick, Julissa Garcia, Katie Whitaker, Mickey Buscemi, Samantha Ruiz, Sara Pustinger, Taylor Hanson and Alexa Mikeska.

Coco Ho wins Supergirl Pro Promise Yee

Oceanside – Coco Ho took the Supergirl Pro win on Sunday, out surfing over 100 top women surfers who were vying for first place, $10,000, and points to qualify for the Women's World Surf League Tour.

The final heat between Ho and fellow Hawaii surfer Malia Manuel brought some of the the best conditions in the three-day competition. Waves from two to four-feet had shape, and winds subsided from previous days.

During the final heat

Ho scored a nearly perfect 9 out 10 points on one of her two waves as crowds of spectators watched from Oceanside Pier and the beach.

Ho won the competition with a score of 14.50.

Manuel came in a strong second with a score of 13.27.

Ho surfed well throughout the competition. Semifinal scores were Ho 13.33, Manuel 10.26, and third place winner Laura Enever, of Austra-

RANCHO SANTA FE — Playing in the big leagues is certainly something MJ Sweeney wants to do when he grows up. After all, it’s his favorite game — and he’s got the pedigree to do it — his father, Mike Sweeney was a five-time All-Star who played some 15 years in Major League Baseball.

And, in all appearances, the young Sweeney’s future looks bright.

Sweeney is one of 24 players to be selected from around the country to play in the Ripken Baseball Future’s game powered by Under Armour Aug. 6.

And if the name Ripken sounds familiar when talking baseball — it should.

The family Ripken: Cal Sr., Cal Jr., and Billy, have spent a combined 70 years playing Major League Baseball.

The culmination of the three-day baseball experience, the Future’s game will feature some of the best 12U players.

“It’s basically an opportunity to have 24 very talented, strong players from all corners of the country come and compete,” said John Bramlette, executive vice president of amateur baseball at Ripken Baseball.

The Future’s game takes place in Aberdeen, Md., prior to the Cal Ripken World Series game.

Players selected are coming from at least 15 states around the country, Bramlette said.

“It really is a national game in scope,” he added.

The Future’s game hasn’t had a steady presence over the years, Bramlette explained. It was last

played in 2014, and was skipped over last year.

And while the Future’s game hasn’t been around long enough yet to see any of its participants reach the Show, Bramlette said that building a pipeline to the Major Leagues isn’t really what Ripken Baseball is all about.

“That’s a great by-product,” Bramlette said, adding, “we want to provide every player that steps through our facilities, whether they’re an elite player or not, we want to give them all a big league experience.”

A couple of months ago, Sweeney learned that he was selected to play in the Future’s game. That proved to be an exciting experience, he said.

Sweeney, who plays first base and pitches, said it was a great honor to be selected.

“I’m really excited and I’m going to try my hardest,” he said.

And if he’s not able to play first or pitch, the outfield works fine, too, he said.

Besides his baseball abilities at the plate and in the field, Bramlette said it was Sweeney’s other attributes — his leadership, behavior on and off the field and being a good teammate — that drew their interest.

“He’s got a very… mature approach at the plate,” said Bramlette.

“He’s able to certainly drive the ball for both power and average based on what we saw,” he said.

“He’ll be a great addition to the team that he’s on,” Bramlette said. “We think MJ, from a talent TURN TO BALLPLAYER ON 16

SDSU is a rare local team worth watching sports talk jay paris

T

here’s chatter about San Diego State athletics and when did basketball sneak up on us?

But instead of hoops it’s a football team with championship hopes moving the local sports needle.

The Aztecs have been picked to win the Mountain West Conference’s West Division, thanks to a nucleus of solid players and a schedule, while challenging, it isn’t very daunting.

Give those ingredients to veteran coach Rocky Long and the short story is that his MW colleagues are impressed. Just don’t count the old-school Long among those doing cartwheels over SDSU’s prospects.

“It’s something good to talk about but it doesn’t have anything to do with the season,’’ Long said.

He’s right.

But is it wrong that a weary San Diego fan base absorbing yet another Padres rebuilding process and another season of Chargers’ uncertainty, is excited about those playing, for the most part, on Saturdays?

The Aztecs finished last year with 10 straight wins, en route to a nifty 11-3 record. While knocking on the door of the top 25 rankings, SDSU seems primed to knock down that door.

The man moving the program forward is the no-nonsense Long and it’s in good hands.

But what could make SDSU special are the gliding feet of running back D.J. Pumphrey, the closing speed of cornerback Damontae Kazee and the return yards produced by Rashaad Penny.

All are money and that was the consensus of MW coaches after naming them as preseason selections for the offensive, defensive and special-teams player of the year awards.

The vote didn’t call for a recount as that trio swept those honors for the 2015 season.

Three other Aztecs were also tabbed to be on the All-MW squad — and are the Aztecs awash in an embarrassment of riches? Good thing red is part of SDSU’s color scheme as offensive lineman Nico Siragusa, defensive lineman Alex Barrett and linebacker Calvin Munson were penciled in as conference standouts at their positions.

Bundle that package of preseason backslaps, based on past performances, and it means what to Long?

Zilch.

13

T he C oast News - I nland E dition

“We don’t talk about last year,’’ Long snorted.

“We’re talking about this year.’’

Come on, Rocky. Not one reflection with a smile?

“It was nice and we did some things that haven’t been done around here in a long time,’’ Long said, before returning his focus. “But we have higher expectation for ourselves and hopefully we can reach them.’’

What’s left after winning the MW regular season, the conference title game and thumping Cincinnati in the Hawaii Bowl?

It’s finally breaking through to being ranked among the nation’s top 25 teams, despite not playing in a Power 5 Conference.

“I think that is our No. 1 goal, winning the Mountain West,’’ Long said. “But in the back of our mind we want to be in the top 25 and we would like to be the best non-Power 5 team in the country.’’

The Aztecs have proven they can climb the MW summit. But conferences with swagger and access to better bowls — Pac-12, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC — still hold more weight in the rankings.

“If we play the way we are supposed to, we should be in the top 25,’’ Siragusa said.

SDSU, who started 1-3 last season, eyes this season with promise. You can’t win them all without winning the first and the Aztecs’ opener is Sept. 3 against New Hampshire at Qualcomm Stadium.

The Aztecs are favored in that game and should be against all their rivals, save visiting California (Sept. 10) and at Northern Illinois (Sept. 17).

“We want to win all of them,’’ Long said.

Such a proclamation from a SDSU football coach once brought snickers.

But with the bumbling Padres and the last-place Chargers serving as punch lines, the Aztecs are no joke.

And it’s not even basketball season yet.

Mission Vista basketball coach suffers heart attack outpouring of support was overwhelming,” said Famber, who said he received calls, texts and messages from people across the Western United States, including people he had never met.

“Words can’t express how much the support means to me.”

Famber posted a brief video from his hospital bed on Twitter reiterating his thanks for the well wishes and support.

Famber said he wants to return to the sideline, but only if his health permits him to.

“I have to make sure my body can handle it, if it can’t, then I’ll accept that,” Famber said. “But I don’t want to be a one-hit wonder.”

VISTA — A high school basketball coach who was named The Coast News Coach of the Year after winning a CIF Title in his first year is recovering after he recently suffered an apparent heart attack.

Davion Famber, the first year coach at Mission Vista High School in Oceanside, collapsed July 16 outside of a hotel in Las Vegas, where he and his wife had spent their vacation.

Famber, 36, was in intensive care at Desert Springs Hospital in Las Vegas before he was stable enough to return to his home in San Diego.

He said that doctors told him he faces an arduous recovery.

“I feel good, but it will all come down to how I can manage the stress,” Famber said of returning to the sidelines. “I can’t get any technical fouls anymore, that’s for sure.”

Famber led Mission Vista to the CIF Division 4 title in March with a 67-55 win over top-seeded Brawley, the school’s first basketball championship.

The Timberwolves, which had won a combined 24 games in the four seasons before Famber’s arrival, won 16 games during the 2015-16 season, becoming one of the feel-good stories of the basketball season in the process.

Mission Vista Athletics Director Jim Hall credited Famber for bringing an energy not only to the basketball program, but to the school community.

Hall said Famber was influential in the creation of the school’s spirit club, the “Green Machine.”

“He has been a great hire for us,” Hall said. “Not only did we see great success

on the court, he has meant just as much to the school. He has brought an energy to the campus.”

Hall said that the school is willing to wait for Famber to recover and return to the sideline.

“It hasn’t even crossed my mind that he won’t be returning,” Hall said.

Reached by phone, Famber thanked coaches, friends and families for their thoughts and prayers.

Oh, Canada — Beauty, birds and a few bugs hit the road e’louise ondash

hen it comes to acreage, Canada is the world’s second largest country.

When it comes to population, well, Canadians have plenty of elbow room.

Only 35.5 million people are spread across 3.5 million square miles. (Compare this to 40 million Californians squeezed into about 156,000 square miles.)

Even though our northern neighbors have plenty of open space, they’ve set a goal of eventually protecting about 12 percent of their country’s climate zones and animal habitats. Currently Canada has 42 national parks, as well as additional provincial parks and other protected areas.

On a recent 11-day cruise down the St. Lawrence River with Adventure Canada, we were lucky enough to see some of this spectacular real estate. It was on Day 4 that we received our first introduction to one of the parks.

Forillon National Park sits on the outer tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, and though we are a long way from Quebec City and on the opposite side of the river, we are still

in the Province of Quebec.

Even more surprising, the mountains in Forillon, Canada’s first national park (1970), are actually the northeastern end of the Appalachian chain.

To get there, we board a Zodiac (motorized rubber raft), which ferries us from the ship, Ocean Endeavor, to a dock near the town of Gaspe. This town of 15,000 had once hoped to become a major shipping center, but lost to Montreal and Halifax.

And before the arrival of the Europeans, these heavily forested acres and waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence were home to the Mi’kmaq and Iroquois peoples, who hunted and fished here in the summer months.

From the dock, it’s a short bus ride to the trailhead for our 2.5-hour hike along the rocky, fog-shrouded southern coastline of the peninsula. Our reward for conquering the gentle incline and reaching the peninsula’s end is a picturesque, solar-powered lighthouse and a gathering of several porcupines, lunching on the surrounding lawn.

Our ship doesn’t have to sail far for our next stop — Ile Bonaventure (Bonaventure Island) and Rocher Perce (Perce Rock) Provincial Park, established in 1985.

The 375-million-year-old rock was so named in 1607

Rancho Buena Vista grad serves his country PEARL HARBOR — A 2010 Rancho Buena Vista High School graduate and Vista native is serving in the U.S. Navy and is participating in the world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise, the Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC).

Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew Escomiendo is a gunner’s mate aboard USS William P. Lawrence, currently operating out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. A Navy gunner’s mate is responsible for all the guns and weapon maintenance on board.

“I look forward to the action and using weapons systems,” said Escomiendo.

“I especially look forward to the rest of the evolutions, since this is my first RIMPAC.” According to Navy officials, RIMPAC provides a training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of

sea lanes and security on the world’s oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971.

The theme of RIMPAC 2016 is “Capable, Adaptive, Partners,” Navy officials said. The participating nations and forces will exercise a wide range of capabilities and demonstrate the inherent flexibility of maritime forces. These capabilities range from disaster relief and maritime security operations to sea control and complex warfighting.

The relevant, realistic training program includes amphibious operations, gunnery, missile, anti-submarine and air defense exercises, as well as counter-piracy, mine clearance operations, explosive ordnance disposal and diving and salvage operations.

26 nations, 45 surface ships, five submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel will participate in the biennial Rim

Odd Files

By Chuck Shepherd Trompe l’Oeil Jungle A conservation biologist at Australia’s University of New South Wales said in July that his team was headed to Botswana to paint eyeballs on cows’ rear ends.

It’s a solution to the problem of farmers who are now forced to kill endangered lions to keep them away from their cows. However, the researchers hypothesize, since lions hunt by stealth and tend to pass up kills if the prey spots them, painting on eyeballs might trick the lions to choose other prey. (For the same reason, woodcutters in India wear masks painted with faces —

backward — for protection against tigers.)

Can’t Possibly Be True A Government Program That Actually Works: A motorist in Regina, Saskatchewan, was issued a $175 traffic ticket on June 8 after he pulled over to ask if he could assist a homeless beggar on the sidewalk.

According to the police report cited by CTV News, the “beggar” was actually a cop on stakeout looking for drivers not wearing seat belts (who would thus pay the city $175). Driver Dane Rusk said he had unbuckled his belt to lean over in the seat to give the “beggar” $3 — and moments later, the cop’s partner stopped Rusk (thus earning Regina a total of $178!).

• One of America’s major concerns, according to

a U.S. congressman, should be the risk that if an apocalyptic event occurs and we are forced to abandon Earth with only a few species to provide for humanity’s survival, NASA might unwisely populate the space “ark” with same-sex couples instead of procreative male-female pairs. This warning was conveyed during the U.S. House session on May 26 by Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (who seemed not to be aware that gay males might contribute sperm to lesbians for species-continuation).

This year’s exercise includes forces from Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, People’s Republic of China, Peru, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, the United Kingdom and the United States.

“We are wrapping up a deployment. We’ve conducted exercises with many foreign navies and this pulls it all together. This is a capstone event for our 7th Fleet deployment,” said Cmdr. Walter C. Mainor the Commanding Officer aboard USS William P. Lawrence. “Our visit to Hawaii has been well-deserved rest and relaxation for our crew. Our most important asset is our sailors, and the job they do day in and day out is so important.

The average age onboard is 25 and the expectations we

have for them are so great.

They just continue to exceed them.”

“I enjoy the opportunity to mentor sailors on their use of small arms,” said Escomiendo. “The crew is tight, I’ve formed life-long friendships.”

Challenging living conditions build strong fellowship among the crew, Escomiendo explained. The crew is highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches, and drills.

“I’ve learned that I would do whatever it takes to get the job done,” said Escomiendo. “Failure is not an option.

My father was in the Navy for more than 20 years. He taught me a great deal when I was growing up. He is still teaching me.

The older I get the smarter he gets.”

enjoying himself, he had left his camel in the sun all day (during a historic heat wave) with its legs tied together. When Urjaram finally went outside, the enraged camel “lifted him by the neck,” “threw him to the ground” and “chewed on his body,” severing his head.

Suspicions Confirmed Many website

and

app users are suspected of “agreeing” to privacy policies and “terms of service” without comprehending them (or even reading them), though most judges routinely assume the user to have consented to be bound by them. In a controlled-test report released in July, researchers from York University and University of Connecticut found that 74 percent skipped the privacy policy altogether, but, of the “readers,” the average time spent was 73 seconds (for wordage that should have taken 30 minutes), and time “reading” terms of service was 51 seconds when it should have taken 16 minutes. (If users had read closely, they might have noticed that they had agreed to share all their personal data with the National Security Agency and that terms

of service included giving up their first-born child.)

Leading Economic Indicators Update: News of the Weird reported in 2007 and 2014 that, despite the abundant desert, Middle East developers were buying plenty of beach sand from around the world (because the massive concrete construction in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, among other places, requires coarser sand than the desert grains tempered for centuries by sun and wind).

The need has now grown such that London’s The Independent reported in June that black market gangs, some violent, are stealing beach sand — and that two dozen entire islands in Indonesia have virtually disappeared since 2005 because of sand-mining.

Smith, who was one of nine people and two groups to speak against the project, said that the project belonged in the heart of the Valley Center community, not along its outskirts.

The overwhelming majority of people — 41 speakers and two groups — were in support of the project, which they said would set the county standard for smart growth.

ach year at this time, the world’s most renowned wine/ and food magazine, Wine Spectator, presents restaurants in the U.S. and around the world for their wine lists.

There are three categories. In order of importance, they are: Award Of Excellence, Best Of Award Of Excellence and The Grand Award — their highest award, given to very few restaurants, “that showed an uncompromising passionate devotion to the quality of the wine list which features a minimum 1,000 selections, with the highest level of service.�

There was just one in San Diego County that was selected for the top award, Addison, at the Grand Del Mar resort. It offers some 3,000 choices.

The surprise of the list in San Diego was PAON Restaurant and Wine Bar in Carlsbad, which picked up a Best Of Award Of Excellence.

Wine Spectator presents this award to those offering 350 or more selections and are destinations for serious wine lovers, according to the magazine.

PAON Restaurant and Wine Bar co-owners Mayur Pavagadhi and Steve Barr brought Master Sommelier Gino Campbell into the operation over a year ago.

You were born in Oceanside and moved up north to the bay area, what do you think of the recent culinary resurgence in Oceanside?

I think that what’s happening to our part of

Southern California, as a whole is really amazing.

In such a short time our cities have really boomed in the culinary field. I think Oceanside has plenty of room to grow still and I am really looking forward to see what new talent and food comes up.

ne of my long-standing questions on episodes of the Lick the Plate radio show is what my guest’s last supper would be.

They get a starter, a main and dessert for their last meal on Earth. My

starter changed recently to the Albacore Crudo with avocado, kiwi, red onion, Fresno chili, Thai basil & ginger-lime syrup from Executive Chef Jordan Beall at PrepKitchen in Del Mar. It’s a perfectly light, flavorful and fresh way to start a meal.

Just in case you are curious, my main is steadfast with the beauty of a rib eye from Gene & Georgetti in Chicago and my dessert would be any homemade pie from my sister Maryanne.

Besides that amazing starter, the Caesar salad at PrepKitchen was more than enough for two and they encouraged the baby romaine to be eaten as a finger food, and oh boy, was it good.

I also had the whole chicken fried trout with coleslaw, sauce gribiche, charred lemon dill and watercress and loved it.

The Fusilli Bolognese with beef, pancetta, tomato, porcini, rosemary and Parmigiano-Reggiano was a standout as well.

What was your first restaurant gig, and did that influence your decision to make it a career?

My first cooking job was at Campo di Bocce in Livermore, Calif., at 15 years old. It was supposed to just be a summer parttime gig that turned into a full-time job.

I continued working there while still going to school as well. When my Chef Michael Wogen saw potential in me, he suggested I look into going to the CIA (Culinary Institute of America). I doubled up on my schoolwork and graduated a year early and got accepted to the CIA. Culinary school at CIA in Hyde Park, NY sounds amazing. What was that experience like?

It was a culinary experience unlike any other, that I will never forget.

It was amazing to be surrounded by like-minded individuals.

Everyone on that campus shared a love for food, wine, etc.
