RACEWAY REMEMBERED
REGION — The California Interscholastic Federation announced June 30 it has vacated the Coronado High School boys’ basketball team's Division 4-A regional championship following tortillas being flung at the largely Latino Orange Glen High School team following the championship game. “After a thorough review and analysis of the incident following the conclusion of the Division 4-A regional basketball championship game between Coronado High School and Orange Glen High School, the CIF state executive director reiterates that discriminatory and racially insensitive behaviors toward an opponent contravene the principles of education-based athletics,” a CIF statement reads. “In this instance, there is no doubt the act of throwing tortillas at a predominately Latino team is unacceptable and warrants
sanctions.” After Orange Glen’s predominantly Latino team lost, 60-57, in overtime to largely white Coronado High on June 19 at Coronado High School, some members of the crowd threw tortillas at the players from the visiting Escondido high school. As a result, Coronado High School has been placed on probation through the end of the 2024 school year and the Islanders boys’ basketball team will not host postseason contests at the section, regional or state levels through the 2023 school year. All other teams in the Coronado High School athletic program will not host postseason contests at the section, regional or state levels until all Coronado administrators, athletic director, coaches and players complete a sportsmanship workshop that includes a component of racial/culturTURN TO INCIDENT ON 6
Racing enthusiasts plan monument for Carlsbad landmark By Steve Puterski and Jordan P. Ingram
VISTA — Once a hotspot for international motorsports racing and diehard gearheads, the Carlsbad Raceway will be permanently memorialized with a monument near the original raceway grounds, it was announced during a June 22 ceremony in Vista. The monument site, located at Keystone Innovation Industrial Park on the border between Carlsbad and Vista, will overlook the former raceway and is directly in front of two popular Vista breweries, Eppig Brewing and Dogleg Brewing Company. The project will break ground immediately and is expected to be completed by summer 2022. Filmmaker Todd Huffman came up with the idea for a monument in 2010 after completing his

documentary, “Carlsbad USGP:1980 — One Day of Magic,” on legendary motocross rider Marty Moates. The film takes an inside look at Marty’s unexpected victory of the U.S.
Grand Prix of Motocross in 1980 at Carlsbad Raceway, which was broadcast on ABC’s “Wide World of Sports.” Huffman later teamed up with David Moates, Mar-
ty's brother, and Scott Cox to brainstorm the monument project. After spending roughly 10 years finding a suitable location, the group of friends and longtime race enthusiasts was finally able to secure a spot in Vista. “It’s the perfect location overlooking the raceway property,” said Vista Mayor Judy Ritter during her speech at the event. “We are excited to watch this progress.” The monument, a 1,300-square-foot tribute to motocross, drag racing, sportscars and skateboarding, is owned by the Encinitas-based Road 2 Recovery nonprofit, which provides financial assistance to action sports athletes who’ve suffered debilitating injuries.

Locals star in Leukemia & Lymphoma Society research fundraising contest By Staff
REGION — Lauren Phinney of San Marcos and Jeff Peters of San Diego were named the winners of this year’s Woman & Man of the Year for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s San Diego Chapter. They raised $135,502 and $130,984, respectively, to support LLS’s goal to find cures for blood cancers and ensure that patients have access to lifesaving treatments. During a spirited, 10week fundraising period, candidates across the county competed in honor of two local blood cancer survivors: Girl of the Year Jocelyn Croxen of San Marcos and Boy of The Year Liam Vest of Chula Vista. The 11 candidates and their teams raised a total of $693,676, a new record for San Diego, for LLS’s mission. Candidates and their campaign teams were judged solely on virtual fundraising success this campaign season, each dollar counting as one vote. Lauren Phinney, San Diego’s newest Woman of the Year, met countless families facing a blood cancer diagnosis over the years as a morning anchor for KUSI News and decided to use her platform to do something good for others. The community rallied behind her goodwill — and helped to make an incredible impact. “I really did my research before I decided I was going to accept this nomination. Since 2017, LLS funded 85% of FDA approved treatments,” Phinney said. Candidates Amy Solomon of San Marcos, and Derek Dawson of San Diego were each named First Runner-Up in the Woman and Man of the Year titles,
Man pleads guilty in Escondido teen’s hit-and-run death By City News Service
VISTA — A man who struck and killed a 17-yearold girl with his SUV in Escondido last summer, then drove off, pleaded guilty July 6 to a felony hit-andrun charge. Paul Anthony Lissona, 30, of Escondido, is slated to be sentenced Sept. 16 in connection with the death of Kirsten Rain Tomlinson. Tomlinson was with three friends when she was struck June 6, 2020, at about 12:35 a.m. on Mesa Rock Road near Mesa Ranch Drive by a vehicle heading northbound at high speed. She died at the scene, despite efforts by her friends and nearby neighbors to render aid, according to the California Highway Patrol. The California Highway Patrol called on the public to be on the lookout for a white Toyota Highlander with front-end damage in connection with the fatality. A citizen's tip led to Lissona's arrest the day after the teen was killed.

The grandparent scam: Here’s how to avoid becoming a victim
I
By Summer Stephan
magine receiving a call late at night, possibly after you’ve already gone to bed. You answer the phone and a frantic-sounding voice breathlessly says, “Grandma! Thank God you picked up! I’ve been arrested! I need help or I’m going to jail!” You reply, “David, is that you?” not quite sure which grandchild might be on the line. “Yes! Please help!” This is the beginning of the grandparent scam. Sometimes, the imposter has details obtained from your actual grandchild’s social media posts and may mention them to sound more convincing. Then, the scammer might hand the phone over to another bad actor who pretends to be a police officer, an attorney, or a bail bondsman. Nearly always, the scammer begs you not to contact mom or dad. Seniors have long been a favorite target of con artists who will stop at nothing to swindle them. With the onset of COVID-19, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other law enforcement agencies have reported an uptick in “grandparent scams” — a type of imposter fraud in which scammers impersonate a grandchild who is suddenly in trouble and needs money, fast. While there are a number of variations of the grandparent scam, they typically involve a call from a supposed grandchild who claims to have been arrested, stranded in a foreign country, involved in an accident, or is in some other dire
circumstance. Falling victim to these scams is more common than you might think. Between 2015 and 2020, the FTC received more than 91,000 reports of these types of scams. In March, two men pleaded guilty to running a grandparent scam in Ohio in which they swindled numerous victims of nearly $384,000 in just one month in 2020. The plea is always the same: If you don’t find a way to send money now, the “grandchild” is going to be in a whole lot more trouble. Of course, the scam artist immediately provides you with detailed instructions on how to supply the money: gift cards, pre-paid cash cards, wiring instructions to an overseas bank; in short, any type of payment that is impossible to trace back to the con artist. More frightening is a new collection tactic reported recently by the FBI: scammers who send couriers or rideshare companies to their victims’ homes in order to collect cash. The scam is designed to exploit your love for your family, and it all unfolds so quickly and convincingly. So, how can seniors avoid falling victim to these scams? • Resist the urgency of the moment. Tell the “grandchild” you will call them back — preferably at a known number rather than the number from which they are calling. • Contact another family member to confirm the whereabouts of the grand-
child and determine whether the call is legitimate. Ignore pleas to keep the matter secret from parents or other relatives. • Don’t volunteer information. If a caller says, “It’s me, your granddaughter,” don’t say a name. Wait for the caller to say it. • Beware of urgent requests for funds, especially to pay things like bail, lawyer fees or auto impound expenses. • Be suspicious of requests that urgently needed payments be made via wire transfer or gift/cash cards. Be even more suspicious of a request that you withdraw cash from your bank for pickup at your home. • Don’t panic no matter how dramatic the situation sounds. Scammers are more likely to succeed when you are distracted or emotional. • Never give out personal information such as bank account or credit card numbers to anyone who calls you. • If you suspect a scam, simply hang up. • If you’ve been scammed, report it to law enforcement or the FTC. Protecting our seniors from these insidious scams takes on new urgency given their recent increase during the pandemic. If you are not a senior but have parents or relatives who are, have a conversation with them about cons that target seniors in general, and this scam in particular. Summer Stephan is District Attorney of San Diego County.

state legislative bill that could have killed rooftop solar installation in California is now itself dead, but the issue that sparked it lives on, now left to be resolved by a state commission that has long been a utility company lapdog. That’s the reality today, after the demise of AB 1139, a bill that would have broken promises made by the state to all California residents with rooftop solar panels providing energy for themselves and others. The remaining issue won’t be easy to resolve fairly, and the state Public Utility Commission’s habit of giving utilities whatever they want means this eventual “solution” will likely tilt neither toward rooftop solar owners nor other electric consumers who help subsidize them, but figures to favor companies like Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. That is what the PUC so far indicates. Here’s the issue, as summarized by the often ham-handed Lorena Gonzalez, the Democratic assemblywoman who authored AB 1139, a measure that could have been almost as clumsy and destructive as her previous AB 5. That one attacked the state’s gig economy until it was mostly rescinded by her legislative colleagues. “Right now,” Gonzalez griped while her bill was still alive, “the way we’re subsidizing rooftop solar, the people who are bearing the brunt of it are the people who don’t have solar or will never have it.” She was correct, up to a point. Rooftop solar owners who produce more energy than they use can sell that power to the overall grid in their region, with the ever-increasing price of that juice paid by all other consumers. What Gonzalez ignores, of course, is that if electricity consumers weren’t buying power from rooftop solar owners, the companies that serve them would have to buy it elsewhere. And the same consumers would pay — very likely more than they now pay to rooftop solar owners. This wouldn’t bother the utility companies a bit. They love big solar thermal power farms located in the sunniest parts of the state — the far reaches of California’s deserts. The utilities generally don’t own those solar farms, but they do own the transmission lines that bring their energy to cities they serve.

tom elias
For every dollar they spend building those lines (with customer money), the utilities get between 10% and 14% profit, depending on the PUC’s whim. Essentially, Gonzalez sought to cut what rooftop solar owners are paid in order to let other electric users’ rates drop a little. Except they would not drop, because cutting what rooftop owners get would remove much of the incentive for installing panels and lead the utilities to buy more from desert solar farms and build more transmission lines to handle the new supply. So consumers’ rates would actually rise if Gonzalez eventually gets her way, likely now via a PUC ruling that’s due sometime in the next year. What’s the equitable way to resolve this? Here’s one suggestion: Lower the excess power price paid to new rooftop owners, but not enough to remove the incentive to install. Don’t mess with what current rooftop owners are paid — that would be breaking promises made to them by the state. This kind of compromise would save other consumers a bit on their rates, while also not forcing them to subsidize as many new transmission lines and the huge profits they bring the utilities. Will anyone listen to this kind of reasoning? Probably not. For the labor union and utility lobbyists pushing for less rooftop energy and more new transmission lines want to remove all incentive to install panels. They usually don’t have to work very hard to get their way with the PUC. And if that’s the inclination of the PUC’s five commissioners, there won’t be much consumers can do about it. Many of those consumers successfully lobbied legislators to kill AB 1139, but the PUC is not subject to the same tactic because its members serve fixed sixyear terms and are all but impossible to remove. Which means the death of the latest inept Gonzalez bill was likely only a Pyrrhic victory for consumers … they won the immediate battle but are quite likely to ultimately lose this war.

San Marcos moving forward with Community Choice Energy By Tigist Layne
SAN MARCOS — The San Marcos City Council reviewed its draft Community Choice Energy (CCE/CCA) Technical Feasibility Study during its June 22 meeting, directing staff to move forward with the next steps and explore governance options. CCE, also known as Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), is an alternative to traditional investor-owned utilities such as SDG&E. Municipal aggregation entities, such as Clean Energy Alliance in Carlsbad, Solana Beach and Del Mar,
purchase power on behalf of their customers with the goal to lower costs, allow consumers greater control of their energy mix and offer a cleaner power supply to satisfy community priorities. The city partnered with Escondido and Vista to conduct the study, and if the three cities choose to move forward, a CCE program would be implemented. According to the study, a CCE program with the partner cities is financially feasible for all three cities. “CCA customer bills are predicted to be 2% lower than forecasted SDG&E
total bills for the first 5-years of CCA operation,” the feasibility study said. The cities will soon decide to either enter into a CCE program together or move forward with their own individual CCE programs. “Establishing a VSME (Vista San Marcos Escondido) Partner CCA reduces start-up costs compared with each VSME City establishing its own program and provide economy of scale savings,” the study said. “Under a VSME Partner CCA Program, electricity cost savings are estimated at $9.3 million per year over
the next ten years for residents and businesses located within the Cities.” The council heard three public comments on the issue. “Local control means expediting the Climate Action goals for San Marcos,” said Alan Geraci from the North County Sierra Club. “This is a tool that will enable you to start exceeding the Climate Action goals.” Joe Britton from San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) assured the council that they will continue providing service to customers who choose to stay with them. “SDG&E respects our
customers’ right to choose the energy provider or program that best fits their needs, so whichever path the city chooses, SDG&E will continue to operate a clean, safe and reliable grid to deliver energy to all of our customers,” Britton said. Council members all agreed that moving forward with a CCE is the best option for San Marcos. “The climate crisis is unfolding before our eyes,” Councilman Randy Walton said. “The way to really attack this problem is to attack it at its source, and that is where we get our power
from… The urgency of the moment demands that we act.” “As we move forward on this, the driving forces should be the reliability of power for our community and meeting our Climate Action Plan goals,” Councilman Ed Musgrove said. The cities must file an implementation plan by Dec. 31, 2021. The City Council also approved an ordinance establishing procedures to prequalify contractors and to debar contractors, as well as an ordinance modifying provisions to suspend or revoke tobacco licenses.

Palomar responds to concerns over emergency care change By Tigist Layne
ESCONDIDO — Palomar Health leadership is responding to doctors and critics of the hospital’s decision to switch to a new emergency care provider who say that the change will reduce staffing, which will increase doctor workload and reduce the quality of care. The hospital announced on June 21 that they “have reached an understanding with Emergent Medical Associates (EMA) and Benchmark to provide emergency physicians, hospitalists, intensivists and related support personnel for Palomar Medical Centers in Escondido and Poway beginning in August 2021.” The new agreement means an end to the hospital’s arrangement with Vituity Healthcare & Medical Staffing Services, a medical group that has managed Palomar’s emergency care for more than 40 years. “The proposal submitted by EMA was chosen based on their established best practices to improve care efficiency through the use of advanced dashboards and statistical analysis. Using their proven model, EMA will de-
crease patient wait times, shorten discharge times and improve diagnostic testing processes among other positive throughput changes,” said a representative for Palomar Health. Palomar’s original statement about the change indicated that this move was also about saving money. “Our community and patients expect us to be good stewards of our resources,” said Diane Hansen, Palomar’s chief executive officer. “EMA’s proposal allows us to retain our staff, plus reinvest saved resources to upgrade patient care.” A representative for Palomar Health told The Coast News that patient safety will remain a top priority and patient lives will never be put at risk. “The volume of patients per physician will remain the same and will be closely monitored to ensure quality outcomes. Physicians will not be asked to see more patients than is safe,” Palomar Health said. Regarding the sentiment that medical doctors may be replaced by physicians assistants, Palomar Health said that is not the case.
“There are no plans to replace an MD with a PA or any other allied health professional (AHP). This accusation is false and stemmed from an initial example that EMA presented to the medical team without knowledge of our current staffing. Once the medical staff voiced their concerns, the draft was eliminated and a plan that mirrors our current staffing practices was proposed and will be implemented. The medial staff will continue to have oversight of staffing models to ensure quality.” “Although a tough decision, Palomar Health must continually look for ways to improve patient care and address staff concerns. This transition will provide the hospital system an opportunity to treat patients with the highest quality of care in the most efficient manner,” the hospital said. EMA and Benchmark gave the more than 100 affected doctors through last Wednesday to decide whether or not they intend to leave Vituity for the new group. According to reports, the majority of those doctors that would be affected have not yet signed on.
REGION — A Los Angeles judge has issued a tentative ruling in favor of the California Coastal Commission after a local environmental organization sued the agency for its issuance of a permit allowing the dismantlement of a former San Diego County nuclear plant. The state commission issued a coastal development permit to Southern California Edison in 2019 to allow for the deconstruction of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). The permit was granted as long as it adheres to 18 special conditions that would make the project consistent with Coastal Act policies. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation (SLF), an environmental advocacy group based in Del Mar, challenged the Coastal Commission’s decision shortly after the permit was issued. According to the foundation, the California Coastal Commission abused its discretion when it issued the permit for SONGS deconstruction by not analyzing the “individual and cumulative impacts of destroying the spent fuel pools, or the environmental benefits of retaining the spent fuel pools, or using alternative spent fuel repackaging options.” Specifically, the petition challenges that the analysis used to grant the coastal development permit was not adequate. After the recent June 16 hearing, Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff issued a tentative ruling denying Samuel Lawrence Foundation’s petition. The environmental group argued that the commission failed to follow the law when it approved the permit through its requirement of Southern California Edison to submit annual reports updating the commission on potential opportunities for relocating the ISFSIs (independent spent fuel storage installation) that currently store spent nuclear fuel on-site. The petition filed by
SAMUEL LAWRENCE Foundation’s petition challenges that the analysis used to grant Edison a coastal development permit was not adequate. File photo
Samuel Lawrence Foundation also asserts that the permit allows the site to be decommissioned without ensuring that the SONGS canisters of spent fuel remain transportable. According to the judge’s analysis, it is not required to consider the individual and cumulative impacts because the project, defined as a new development project, is located in developed areas that are able to accommodate it. The court also found that Samuel Lawrence Foundation did not meet its burden of demonstrating error on any alleged failure of the California Coastal Commission regarding analyses of these impacts. “Southern California Edison has consistently maintained that the California Coastal Commission appropriately reached its unanimous decision granting the coastal development permit after rigorous analysis and review,” said John Dobken, public information officer for SONGS. “The dismantlement of SONGS continues to progress in a safe and timely manner.” Prior to the tentative ruling, Southern California Edison made a “good faith agreement” with SamTURN TO SONGS ON 7

Local NAACP wants T-shirt incident reinvestigated By City News Service
REGION — Following the June 30 decision by the California Interscholastic Federation to vacate the Coronado High School boys’ basketball team’s Division 4-A regional championship after some fans threw tortillas on the court, the NAACP San Diego Branch is calling on the CIF to reopen investigations into a similar incident earlier this year. Orange Glen’s predominantly Latino team lost, 60-57, in overtime to largely white Coronado High on June 19 at Coronado High School some members of the crowd threw tortillas at Orange Glen players. “A very similar incident occurred not long ago involving Cathedral Catholic High School, in which Cathedral Catholic foot-
ball players wore T-shirts with ‘Catholics vs Convicts III’ and posted images of players wearing these shirts on social media,” said Francine Maxwell, president of the NAACP San Diego Branch. “The racist message conveyed by the Cathedral Catholic player was as offensive as the tortilla incident at Coronado High School.” On the day Cathedral Catholic and Lincoln High played each other in April, players and coaches at Lincoln High learned a Cathedral player for the private school shared social media posts showing someone wearing a shirt that read “Catholics vs. Convicts III.” Another post showed Cathedral players making a gang sign. The San Diego City Conference placed Cathedral Catholic High’s foot-
ball coach on a two-game suspension and placed the team on probation for two years after investigating two social media posts. Maxwell is calling on the CIF to reopen an investigation into the incident and apply stricter sanctions. The Cathedral Catholic shirts reference a controversial slogan and shirt made by fans of Notre Dame University before they played powerhouse rivals University of Miami in 1988. “We seek equity for the Lincoln community by requesting that the CIF and (San Diego City) Conference reconsider the sanctions for Cathedral Catholic High School in light of the appropriate sanctions imposed on Coronado High School,” Maxwell said.
school to forfeit the game. In a three-page letter sent to California Interscholastic Federation executive director Ron Nocetti on June 25, Mueller responded to calls by activists and others for Coronado to forfeit the game. “In the first-person accounts, audio and video that we have reviewed to date, we have seen no evidence of antagonization by the
players actions or behaviors that justify forfeiting the game,” Mueller wrote. “The young men on the court played hard, fairly and earned the championship win.” NBC7 has reported that a Coronado alumnus, Luke Serna, said he brought the tortillas to the game and denied that the act had a racist component. He said he was evoking a tradition
at UC Santa Barbara, which he also attended. “The tossing of tortillas is used as a celebratory action by the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos at various sporting events including basketball and soccer,” Serna said.

Laaperi was fired by the Coronado Unified School District Governing Board in an emergency meeting June 22. The Escondido Union High School District board, at a special meeting June 24, passed a resolution denouncing racism and racial discrimination, and affirming its support for equity, safety and well-being of all students. Dozens of Orange Glen supporters marched along Orange Avenue in Coronado on June 26, some carrying a large Mexican flag. They decried what they saw as a racist act and called for the team to forfeit the game. Sen. Ben Hueso on June 24 called on the CIF to revoke Coronado High’s regional championship in response to the incident. “This intentional act was designed to be racist and should not now, nor ever, be tolerated,” Hueso, D-Chula Vista, wrote in a letter to Nocetti and the leaders of the San Diego Section. “Failure to impose swift and appropriate justice will become a tacit endorsement of the act itself by the CIF and violate CIF’s own principles of ethical character-building for student athletes.”

Throwing in the towel
S
ummertime … and the livin’ is getting messy. It’s a modus operandi that rather creeps up on you until you suddenly find yourself sitting in front of the TV surrounded by two weeks’ worth of empty corn chip bags, cups with sticky straws akimbo, sweatshirts, four colors of flip-flops and probably an empty ice cream container or two. The embarrassing part is I can’t blame it on my children anymore. This would not happen in the winter. I can’t entirely explain why. But right now, there is a growing presence of what I like to call the “Scarlett O’Hara Syndrome.” Given a choice these days, I would rather “think of it tomorrow.” And “it” begins to cover more and more ground. My first hint struck when I started to sort and fold the laundry. My momma taught me to fold towels a certain tri-fold way. Hence, I even fold the washcloths before I stack them in the basket beside the shower. It’s something I just do. But by mid-June, I found myself tossing the clean washcloths into the basket in a heap, and deviltake-the-hindmost. It’s summer and I have leisure activities to attend to. Shocking, I know Next there is the pile of used socks that have been on my floor for three weeks. They date from the day I stopped wearing shoes and went straight for my sandals. I could pick them up and put them in the dirtyclothes basket. I could even wash them, and I probably will, somewhere near the end of August. Summertime syndrome means dressing for comfort. I have three sets of jeans that don’t seem to make it back into a drawer or over a hanger these days. One pair is for when I need to look presentable. One pair is for when I want to be really comfortable and the third is for serious summer projects that usually involve dirt and paint. I did manage to toss in a pile of wet beach towels I stepped over for two days. It seems I haven’t hit the moldy-towel level of nonchalance quite yet, but it could happen. If you are slipping into the same sweet, slow, summertime syndrome, relax, enjoy and blame it on the weather. You’ll snap out of it right after you take the kids shopping for school supplies.

CEA keeping tabs on summer heat Drought may impact region’s energy rates By Steve Puterski
REGION — The summer heat is keeping the Clean Energy Alliance on its toes as the Community Choice Aggregation program keeps a watchful on the rates. CEA Executive Director Barbara Boswell updated the board during its June 24 meeting, also reporting on the state of hydroelectric power, the budget, expansion and exit fees. Also, CEA Chairwoman Kristi Becker said Solana Beach, San Elijo Joint Powers Authority (water) and the Encina Water Authority upgraded to the Green Impact plan, which is the 100% renewable energy option. Also, the board discussed the recent feasibility study between Escondido, San Marcos and Vista, which was conducted by EES Consulting, who performed the study for Carlsbad, Del Mar, Oceanside and Encinitas several years ago. “The power supply costs are based on actual executed contracts and forward price curves,” Boswell said. “There are concerns over summer reliability. We have sufficient revenue to cover our budget. We will need to evaluate, starting for next calendar year, to adjust our rates to recover (any) costs.” Boswell said the energy market has seen price increases over the past six months, citing the recent heat wave. However, the heat wave did not result in any shortages. Boswell also said the Texas winter event, where the state grid crashed and prices skyrocketed, is impacting CEA rates, along with natural gas prices. Additionally, California’s statewide drought has brought challenges to hydroelectric power as dams across the state and Lake Mead in Nevada are at or nearing historic lows. The less water in those

uel Lawrence Foundation by promising to follow its current decommissioning schedule and not performing any additional work on the spent fuel pools for at least 90 days. “The facts clearly show that the Commission was thorough in its analysis, thoughtful in its review and correct in its decision to approve the coastal development permit to safely dismantle SONGS," Dobken said. The judge has 90 days until he must render his final decision on the case.

dams flowing through the turbines results in less water pressure and a drop in electricity production. Boswell said the CEA is also keeping tabs on the Diablo Canyon Unit 2 nuclear facility in Central California, which shut down several months ago due to an electrical issue on the non-nuclear side of the plant, according to Pacific Gas & Electric. The board also discussed expansion as Boswell said the County of San Diego has expressed interest, along with the three North County cities as possible members. Becker, though, said some of the conclusions didn’t make sense. Additionally, she said the CEA has a policy in place for new member municipalities, so it would likely be a benefit to those cities. “I feel that some conclusions were hard to understand,” Becker added. “We have a policy for our new members. I can’t see how a whole third CCE would be a positive.” Ty Tosdal, of Tosdal APC and CEA’s lawyer, reported on legislative happenings, notably the demise of Assembly Bull 1139 by Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego). The bill sought to reform the net energy metering program for residential rooftop solar. However, solar companies and residents flooded the legislature with objections, thus killing the bill. Another bill being championed by the CCA’s is Senate Bill 612 would address the power charge indifference adjustment (PCIA), otherwise known as exit fees, Tosdal said. Proponents, such as CEA, say their customers are still responsible for power supply commitments even though they are no longer with a utility. The bill’s June 30 committee hearing has been postponed, according to the legislature’s website. “This bill is providing a process for which CCA can access power from the utility portfolio,” Tosdal said. “We’d have to pay for it … but it alleviates pressure of finding power.” Though the ruling was unfavorable to Samuel Lawrence Foundation, the environmental group still maintains some hope that the ruling will turn in their favor. “This isn’t over,” said SLF Associate Director Chelsi Sparti. “The judge took our points under submission and the case is ongoing.” According to Sparti, the foundation is supportive of the plant’s decommissioning but wants to make sure it is done safely. “The California Coastal Commission has not given us those assurances,” Sparti said.

There are no hard and fast rules that dictate whether children should or should not attend a funeral. Very young children may not understand what is happening and little ones may become confused and upset when they see people crying. Only you will be able to judge just how much your child can take in and understand without being confused and afraid. Children suffer grief just as adults do. The best thing to do is to talk with your child, ask how they are feeling, and answer their questions about what a funeral is and what will happen there. Children need to know that the funeral is a time of sadness because someone has died, a time to honor the person who died, a time to say a final goodbye, a time to help comfort and support each other, and a time to affirm that life goes on for those left behind.

Padres Game Day A Huge Hit With Silvergate Residents Eager To Return To Exciting Events SAN MARCOS – July 9, 2021 - Silvergate San Marcos – the area’s premier senior living community – hit a home run last week with their first big off-site event since hunkering down at the start of the pandemic, as residents and guests ventured out into downtown San Diego for last week’s Padres Game against the Chicago Cubs at Petco Park. Seniors from Silvergate were escorted in style by private bus to the impressive stadium where they were greeted with fanfare and ushered to their private, reserved space on the Pacifico Porch overlooking third base. Their bird’s eye view of the ballfield gave them a thrilling look at one of the first games of the season. The afternoon was filled with cheering, laughing, and dancing in the aisles, as residents and staff enjoyed each other's company while rooting for the Padres. The event was flanked by the gametime bell being rung by the youngest of fans and the action coming from the Padres commentator booth just overhead. The community spared no expense to treat residents to a complete game day experience with a ballpark-catered luncheon of barbecue pork and chicken sliders, creamy macaroni and cheese cups, roasted red potatoes, good old-fashioned hotdogs and plenty of ballpark snacks. For comfort, custom-made Silvergate seat cushions were provided to everyone as souvenirs from game day and lots of raffle prizes were handed out throughout the game, including official Padres’ jerseys, decks of baseball player cards and keepsake Padres’ pins.
Silvergate San Marcos resident, Else Rondinelli, cheers on the Padres with her game day guest, Mike Coleman, at the community’s recent outing to the baseball game at Petco Park in San Diego.
Residents Happy To Be Emerging From Quarantine “I am so ready to enjoy life again and I enjoyed the Padres game so much,” said Chuck Rabel, a Silvergate San Marcos resident. “This outing was incredibly well organized down to the smallest detail. It was such an enjoyable day.” “I loved having the opportunity to go to a ballgame in person. It was a wonderful excursion outside the San Marcos area,” said Else Rondinelli, who recently became a resident of Silvergate. “We’re constantly being invited out of our apartments to enjoy all of the amazing events and activities they put on here. I don’t have to plan things because Silvergate does it for me. We’re so glad to be here.”
Events and Activities Gearing Up At Silvergate Re-introducing fun and a sense of normalcy has been top priority for the staff and caregivers at Silvergate. For months, the senior living community’s Activities Team has been dreaming up a long list of creative things for residents to do in preparation for the day when opening up more widely became possible. “We are beyond excited to finally be taking residents out to our more traditional high-profile events,” said Judy Salazar-Soto, Activities Director for Silvergate San Marcos. “Our residents have been so patient throughout the last year of waiting for San Diego county to re-open. We’re so glad to be planning exciting events like this for them again.” Next up on Silvergate’s event line-up are beer tasting at Stone Brewery in August, a Luncheon Yacht Cruise through San Diego bay in September, and a holiday trip to the Hotel Del Coronado in December.

This is a meaningful place to a lot of people.” In 2000, Button was critically injured after he flipped over the handlebars of his motocross bike and broke his neck. Since the accident, But-

The monument will incorporate stories from the raceway’s 40-year run, including its founding by Larry Grismer and Sandy Belond, who bought the property in 1961 and opened the raceway three years later. At first, the raceway featured only a dragstrip but motorcycle and auto races followed shortly thereafter. Sweden’s Bengt Aberg, a two-time world champion, won the first international motocross race in 1969 at
Carlsbad Raceway. The same year, legendary daredevil Evel Knievel performed at the raceway — his only performance in San Diego County. Starting in 1973, Carlsbad Raceway hosted the annual U.S. Grand Prix of Motocross, attracting riders from across the world to coastal North County. Willie Bauer, of Germany, won the raceway’s inaugural event. In 1980, Marty Moates became the first American to win the race.

greatest races in the world were there.” In 2004, Marty Moates rode the final lap at Carlsbad and for decades, the legendary raceway was seemingly lost to overgrowth and industrial development — until now.

House passes bill proposing $20M for local infrastructure projects By Samantha Nelson
REGION — Millions of federal dollars could be coming to the 49th Congressional District after a huge infrastructure bill made it through the House of Representatives. Last Thursday, July 1, the House passed the INVEST in America Act, a $715 billion, comprehensive surface transportation and clean water bill that aims to create “good-paying jobs” that will rebuild and “reimagine” the nation’s roads, bridges, rail and other transit options as well as wastewater and drinking water
infrastructure according to sponsors of the bill. Rep. Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) explained that the House is required to reauthorize spending for roads and other infrastructure every several years. “This is something the House needed to pass to continue spending money on roads and other community projects,” Levin said, adding that the bill includes some “great wins” for the district. The bill proposes allocating $20 million for several local projects, including $12.5 million for upgrades to the Los Angeles – San Diego
– San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor (LOSSAN Corridor). The rail line currently sits within feet of the coastline on eroding cliffs and bluffs, which have caused several rail failures over the last two years. With the federal money, the project would design a way to completely remove the tracks from the eroding bluffs, and would also advance other technical analyses to help with design, environmental documents and public outreach. Also included in the bill is $4 million for a beautification project on North Coast
Highway 101 between A Street and La Costa Avenue in Leucadia, which would include a new curb, gutter, landscaping, buffered bicycle lanes, lane reconfiguration and four roundabouts. It also allocates $2.5 million to replace the existing two-lane bridge with a four-lane bridge and modify the road from two- to fourlanes on El Camino Real between Via de la Valle and San Dieguito Road. Another proposed local project in the bill allocates $820,368 for a sidewalk improvement project in Vista. The project would in-
stall frontage improvements like road widening, new curbs, gutters, driveways and ADA ramps at corners along the southside of Nevada Avenue from North Santa Fe to Lemon Avenue, and eastside of Lemon from Nevada to Raintree Place. The final project included in the bill is an amendment created by the San Diego Democratic delegation, of which Levin is a member, that aims to help the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) spend funding gained from the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement to address
water pollution in the Tijuana River Valley. “This amendment would allow the EPA to spend funds more quickly,” Levin said. “We’re all frustrated waiting for the valley’s pollution to be addressed, so we want to make sure we’re doing all that we can to address it as soon as possible.” After passing the House, the bill must now go to the Senate. Levin said the House would work with Senate to keep the proposed infrastructure projects “critical” to the region in the legislation.

REGION — Researchers at UC San Diego, led by the Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute, will receive about $3 million to develop approaches to mitigate childhood trauma within the Latino community and reduce childhood obesity, officials said July 7. The funding is part of Gov. Gavin Newsom's California Comeback Plan and the California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine. The study will systematically examine community, organizational, family and individual predictors of childhood obesity, including adverse childhood experience-related behaviors such as stress, anxiety,
reactivity and overeating. Adverse childhood experience is a term that describes potentially traumatic events that affect children, such as family violence, abuse or neglect. The researchers also intend to intervene on key behavioral targets for obesity such as self-regulatory skills, resiliency, diet and physical activity. Recommendations and best practices to address ACEs and resilience will be developed and disseminated to local, regional and state organizations at the study's conclusion. Childhood and adolescent obesity have reached epidemic levels in the United States, the researchers said, with an estimated 17% presenting with obe-
sity. Rates continue to rise, with older children more likely to experience obesity and at greater risk of becoming adults with obesity. The prevalence of childhood obesity varies among ethnic groups, age, sex, education levels and socioeconomic status. In a 2019 study, prevalence of obesity among Black (22%) and Hispanic (25.8%) children and adolescents ages 2-to-19 was higher than among both white (14.1%) and Asian (11%) children and adolescents. While the prevalence for obesity among girls was similar to overall percentages, Hispanic boys had a 28% higher prevalence of obesity than Black boys at 19%.

It’s been only a handful of days since the state’s governor lifted all pandemic restrictions, and it looks like Elliot’s patrons are devouring deep-fried portobello mushrooms, Italian-Cuban sandwiches and street tacos with pre-pandemic abandon. It’s not just the end of pandemic restrictions that account for lunch-bunch enthusiasm. Elliot’s and other restaurants in Newark Square also are reveling in this historic district’s

comeback. Throughout the last decade, this central Ohio town of 50,000 in Licking County has brought people and businesses back to its core with freshly painted, multi-use buildings, new roundabouts and hardscape, abundant, colorful flower pots and hanging baskets, and a refurbished, National Historic Landmark courthouse that serves as the square’s centerpiece. Come the day after Thanksgiving, the ornate, 1878 building is illuminated with thousands of LED lights and becomes the focus of holiday celebrations. “This all didn’t get here by chance,” says Jeff Hall, Newark’s three-term mayor whose focus has been to transform Newark Square into a thriving social and business space. A Newark native who returned to the city after a 24-year hiatus in Florida, Hall worked in his father’s shoe store on the square – now a thriving coffee shop – and is the town’s biggest cheerleader. “(Before renovations) we solicited professionals for ideas,” says Hall from his second-floor office that overlooks the square. “We gathered groups and asked them what they wanted.” What residents got were “more trees and green space than we had before… and (second-floor) lofts that support the businesses. Weekdays used to be dead, but now there are waiting lines at restaurants.”
Snapshots Lounge in nearby Granville that owner Lucas Atwood built an addition and will open a second restaurant in Newark Square. “The day we broke ground for the addition we had to shut down because of COVID,” he tells us, but “Granville supported us through the pandemic (with take-out), so we were able to still do business.” The popular restaurant specializes in “American-style party food – where everyone brings something.” On the northeast corner of Newark Square is the Midland Theatre, built in 1928 and beautifully restored in 2002 with an $8.5 million donation from wealthy local businessman Dave Longaberger, founder of the Longaberger basket empire. “We tried to preserve the era – Art Deco,” says development coordinator Maryann Crist as she guides us through spaces big and small. In its heyday, stars such as Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis played here; today, the 1,200-seat theater hosts such names as Joan Baez, America, REO Speedwagon and Vince Gill. “We are experiencing a second Golden Age,” says Crist, who clearly loves this building and what it means to the community. And sometimes, like last February, it became more than a theater. Social distancing requirements could not be

Cheers! unveils its top 5 beer-drinking holidays list cheers! north county
ryan woldt
B
efore we can get to our list, we need to define the beer-drinking holiday. To qualify, it does not need to be an officially sanctioned federal holiday. A Beer Holiday is a day where, without actually looking at the sales numbers, you know a lot—a lot—of beer is being drunk, and we’re most likely doing it together. This is the first Officially Unofficial Cheers! Beer Holiday Top Five list:
1. St. Patrick’s Day: Synonymous with green beer (please don’t), shamrocks and drinking well beyond intoxication; the Feast of St. Patrick is actually the celebration of one Irish bishop’s success at converting Irish pagans to Christianity. According to wallethub.com, 13,000,000 pints of Guinness are drunk that day, and the average person has more than four beers. It is a worldwide holiday, and the clear No. 1.
ties to drink more beer and eat too many chicken wings. The most widely cited number I can find is 325.5 million gallons of beer is drunk by American’s on that day. That’s about 10 cans for every adult. Even more than all the beer drunk on the first Sunday in February, the year’s most-watched beer commercials will air during the game. Even the most hardened craft beer drinkers can appreciate the money spent to show us all 30 seconds of Clydesdales galloping through a river to deliver a case of beer to the firehouse.
bias, but the big reason the 4th lands at 3 is because it is common to start drinking early in the day. If you want the good spot on the sand near—but not too near—the bathrooms you need to set up the chairs early. That cooler won’t stay closed for long. Beer drinking starts in the morning and continues through fireworks. Pro tip: Take an early afternoon nap. 4. Cinco de Mayo: This commemoration of the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla has become popular in America as a celebration of Mexican-American culture, and as an opportunity to enjoy good Mexican-style lagers like Alesmith’s Sublime lager, a favorite of the team at I Like Beer the Podcast. With beer sales almost reaching Super Bowl numbers, this is truly a beer holiday.
2. Super Bowl: It used to only be an evening event, but in recent years, big game coverage has started at 6m. More than enough 3. Independence Day: of a reason for bars to open early and beer to start flow- The beach, barbecue and beer. I waffled here. ing. I thought maybe I was Then at night, we get together at Super Bowl par- being impacted by recency
5. Memorial Day & Labor Day (tied): The last Monday in May has been set aside to honor and mourn those who died while serving in the U.S. military. Many Americans do so with a toast and gathering with friends and family celebrating those who serve and appreciating the time we have together. The first Memorial Day parade was held in 1867 in Rochester, Wisconsin. It is the unofficial kickoff to summer. The first Monday in September has been an official federal holiday since 1894. It’s a day for the workforce to take off, relax and open a beer. It’s the unofficial end of summer.

If that isn’t reason enough to join your family and friends in a pint, then sitting in front of the TV on one of the biggest sports weekends of the year to watch pro and college football, car racing and the U.S. Open while shopping Labor Day sales online should get you there. And just for fun, I wanted to round out the Top 10: 7. Halloween 8. Thanksgiving Eve 9. Father’s Day 10. New Year’s Eve*** An honorable mention to Oktoberfest and December. Oktoberfest is a massive, worldwide drinking event, but it takes place over multiple weeks that vary by location. December is the same. We love holiday cocktails like wassail** and spiced eggnog, but it feels more like one long drinking season as we celebrate multiple
holidays building toward New Year’s Eve. * It’s important to note that this isn’t my own personal favorite drinking holidays list. **Just kidding. No one drinks wassail. ***Disagree with my list?

I’ve got a new Bordeaux style blend from Daou Family Estates, a Syrah with a spritz of Viognier and Roussanne from Denner and an elegant cabernet/Petite Sirah from J.Lohr. The five fill out with a pinot noir from Sonoma, made by Far Niente and an eight-grape blend from Chile that made 95 points from noted wine critic James Suckling.

Antica Mountain Select Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017. $70. Antica is derived from Antinori California.

It has an effervescent tropical nose and palate. Your senses will experience pineapple, lemongrass and star jasmine with a palate that also includes Granny Smith apples with a nice clean finish and boasts a 90-point Wine Enthusiast score. The Bigger Brother 2019 Estate Sauvignon Blanc ($50) Bordeaux style will further blow you away with great minerality and a perfect balance of fruit and acidity (daouvineyards. com). Pertimali di Angelo Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino 2014, $80. I discovered this gem recently on a road trip to Colorado via a premium by the glass wine menu. The Sangiovese grosso fruit in this wine from Sienna, Tuscany, was magical. The wine had dark fruits of black cherry, blackberry, plum and with spice with perfect structured acidity and elegant, tannins benefitting from 36 months in the barrel and 6 months in the bottle (pertimalisassetti.it/). 2018 O’Brien Estate Seduction Red Blend Napa Valley 2018, $78. Barb and Bart O’Brien have been living in their Estate Winery for 20 years. After nearly a decade of learning the subtleties of their vineyards and refining their approach, they realized their red wine potential and so did I! A neighbor introduced me to the 2018 O’Brien Estate Seduction. The nose of black currant, blackberry, cocoa and spice developed into the same flavors on the palate with a great mouthfeel. A great Napa Valley wine! obrienestate.com. Robert Renzoni Riserva Syrah Temecula Valley 2016, $95. The second I experienced the bouquet and palate of this 92pt Wine Enthusiast winner at a recent trip to Robert Renzoni winery with Frank, I knew this was going to be one of my top wines for the first half. Proprietor Robert Renzoni said, “This is one of the best wines that can be grown in Temecula Valley.” With currant, tobacco, and clove on the nose along with boysenberry jam with blueberries and vanilla on the palate with rich, chewy tannins, and well-balanced acidity, this was an easy Top 10 winner!

The world is opening back up. Your family may be returning to work and school soon. There’s a sense of relief in the air—but if you’re caring for an older family member or friend, you might be feeling anxious about leaving them alone more often. Thankfully, there are a number of resources that you can use to help your aging loved one stay safe and mobile at home — including many offered by Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) centers, such as the Gary & Mary West PACE in San Marcos. Here’s how you can help the seniors in your life maintain their independence this summer (and give HOME MODIFICATIONS create a safer residential environment and can ultimately yourself some peace of mind). keep your loved one from injuring themselves.
PREVENTING FALLS For elderly individuals, falls can cause severe injuries that bring huge medical costs and even precipitate physical declines, forcing them to move into a care facility. But many simple, cost-effective home modifications can prevent falls. Home modifications not only create a safer residential environment, but can be cost effective, ultimately keeping your loved one from injuring themselves or exacerbating a chronic condition and being admitted to the hospital. Consult with an occupational therapist or certified aging-inplace (CAPS) specialist to learn what your home needs to keep your loved one safe. Depending on your situation, some financial assistance may be available for these types of renovations. West PACE has certified occupational therapists and care coordinators who can help you figure out necessary home modifications, and how to get help paying for them.
BEAT THE HEAT According to the CDC, people aged 65 and older are more prone to heat-related health problems. Make sure your loved one has easy access to cool water, stores their medications properly, limits outdoor activity when the sun is strongest (10 a.m.-4 p.m.) and runs the air conditioning at 78F or cooler inside. If they have a routine that involves outdoor activities like gardening or a daily walk, set a schedule for checking in on them, and have an emergency contact list of family members and doctors easily available. West PACE care coordinators can arrange for wellness checks, inhome assistance and other support for your loved one as temperatures rise.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) It’s a wonderful week for all you capricious Goats to kick up your heels with friends or family members in some well-earned fun and frivolity. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Caution is advised before making a financial commitment to someone you don’t really know. There are better ways to build friendships than with risky fiscal dealings. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Travel plans continue to be favored. A change of scenery brings new opportunities, both personally and professionally. Be open to the possibilities. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a strong sense of loyalty that shows itself best in your relationships with family and friends. © 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

&Entertainment International shadow puppet festival kicks off today A rts
By Steve Puterski
VISTA — The mastery of world-class puppeteers bringing ordinary shadows to life will be on display from July 9-11 at Shadows Across the Globe, an international shadow puppetry and storytelling festival. Tania Yager, co-founder and lead director of Vista-based Twisted Heart Puppetworks, will host the inaugural three-day virtual event, featuring talks with an international slate of puppeteers, including Claudia Six (Austria), Richard Bradshaw (Australia) and Geoffrey Cormier (USA), to name only a few. Each day features an all-ages show from 9 to 11 a.m. Starting on July 10, there will be an adult show from 5-7 p.m. The shadow puppet shows are free, although those interested in taking classes or listening to the artists’ talks can register for $20-$30. The event will also be broadcast on the Shadows Across the Globe page on Facebook and YouTube. “There’s been a lot of puppetry festivals … online, but nobody has done one that is geared toward this ancient form of shadow puppetry,” Yager said. “We got these big-name global artists.” Most know shadow pup-

According to Yager, the first story tells the tale of an emperor who lost his wife. In an attempt to lift his spirits, a member of the royal court used his hands to project a shadow image of the emperor’s wife onto the wall. The plan worked and the shadow image brightened the emperor’s mood, Yager said. “It’s unclear whether he was interacting with the shadow,” Yager said. “It’s the first tale of shadow art. Every culture around the world has its own form with a very specific aesthetic.” Yager said the artform introduces objects or intricately cut pieces of paper to create shadows from a light source. And in the modern world, Yager said contemporary artists are pushing the boundaries and finding creative ways to grow and diversify shows and audiences. cover charge.

Three great reasons to start taking music lessons 1. REDUCES STRESS Scientists are now agreeing that learning a musical instrument could be the best way to give your brain a total body workout at any age. Did you also know that it reduces stress too? Music has been shown to reduce stress by triggering biochemical stress reducers according to an article in U.S. Today. As a short-term and long-term benefit, music helps us to relax and forget about life’s daily challenges. The act of playing music accentuates
deep relaxation and calm. 2. IMPROVES MEMORY Taking music lessons has shown increased brain development and also helped improved memory over a year when compared to those who do not receive musical training. Research has also shown that as we get older, our natural memory ability diminishes and music has been shown to help that considerably. 3. MUSIC BRINGS JOY! Quite simply... playing music is fun!
Einstein used to play the violin to relax when he became stuck in his thought process – music helps clear the mind and calm the nerves. It is the gift that keeps on giving. So call your local music school and sign up for lessons! You are never too old to play. Keep asking yourself what instrument have YOU always wanted to play? You might find your music goal reachable with just a phone call away! To learn more, please visit leadingnotestudios. com.
