In a flash Telesco delivers some good Chargers news

It’s come, gone and we’re not talking about the local NFL team.

Mercy, there’s still a “San Diego” attached to the Chargers name.

For how long, no one is quite sure.

What’s certain is the Chargers were keen in the recent NFL Draft.

“It’s Melvin Gordon,” Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said after his first-round pick.

Telesco was explaining why he surrendered a bounty of draft picks to wiggle up the board and get a Badger.

“It’s Melvin Gordon,” Telesco stressed, regarding the Wisconsin star.

right?

Rivers stays put and we can’t wait until he plops the ball in Gordon’s gut.

Gordon led the nation in rushing last season. Can he lead the Chargers back to the playoffs?

Good question, and one coach Mike McCoy needs to be answered in the affirmative.

McCoy isn’t on the hot seat but his britches need to feel some heat. Consecutive third-place finishes means he needs Gordon to have a quick start.

That’s what Telesco did in the draft, and here’s a toast to him.

Instead of being cautious, Telesco was aggressive and delivered something that has been rare in these parts: positive news about the Chargers.

Gordon is special and can he make the Chargers that as well?

35-minute Final in building 3-to-5 foot surf.

The event saw an array of Championship Tour surfers battling to protect their place in the Top 34 and going head-to-head against up-and-coming Qualifying Series talent fighting hard to join the elite tour.

Toledo becomes the third consecutive Brazilian to win the event, after Gabriel Medina and Miguel Pupo claimed victory in 2012 and 2011 respectively.

“I was definitely super blessed this week and got to spend lots of time with my friends and family,” said Toledo.

“It’s such a good vibe to be with them. I think that’s what happened, I got all their good vibes. I felt super comfortable and confident out there and my boards felt amazing. It was all wonderful and amazing.”

Toledo continued his relentless run of form in the 35-minute Final, with two seven-point rides with just 10 minutes gone, leaving the Frenchman with a modest two-wave total. Another exchange with 13 minutes remaining saw three big turns from Flores for 7.20 and a series of critical maneuvers from the fleet-footed Brazilian for an excellent 8.30.

An exhausted looking Flores took a final wave with 30 seconds remaining but couldn’t produce the 8.93 required and secures a runner-up finish while Toledo claimed the win.

“The start was a little slow but I began with a good wave and that gave me a lot of confidence and then I took more inside waves,” said Toledo. “I think I’ve got the best support ever. I’ve got all my family and friends here so it’s the best feeling in the world. When I finish the wave I hear everyone screaming and it’s really motivating for me.”

“You don’t like to give away picks. But sometimes you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to get an impact player.”

In a flash the Chargers’ pedestrian running game got a boost. Ranked near the bottom in nearly every rushing category last year, Gordon’s skills include lowering his pads and leaving whiffing tacklers staring at his shoe bottoms.

Gordon has a physical element.

Gordon has a speed element.

Gordon has found a home with the Chargers, despite them not having clue where theirs will be in the future.

Maybe Gordon becomes cool in Carson? Maybe he ignites Inglewood?

But we’ll fret over that later and do you really believe the Chargers’ assertion that season sales are up?

Me, neither.

But Gordon punches this ticket: He gives Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers another weapon and he’s still wearing bolts,

Hard to say, but he’ll hit the ground, uh, running. He’ll have every opportunity to contribute and is it too early to point him toward the “A” gap?

The Chargers have a huge hole at running back and Gordon helps fill it.

Remember the Chargers have but six rushing touchdowns last year and three of those fled with Ryan Mathews.

Danny Woodhead returns from his broken leg and he’s your receiving back.

Branden Oliver was last year’s leading rusher — hard to fathom — but he takes a back seat to Gordon.

Donald Brown is back and he’s the last card you play.

Rancho Santa Fe’s Telesco thinks he has an ace in Gordon and if he didn’t, he doesn’t give up two picks to move up two spots.

Although Telesco’s move came with deception, Gordon hasn’t played an NFL snap but he’s already been faked out.

The Chargers had Gordon lined up for a pre-draft chat at Chargers Park. When the team thought otherwise, Gordon felt San Diego was no longer his destination.

“I was actually supposed to go visit and they ended up canceling,” Gordon said. “I don’t know if they canceled because they felt they (saw) everything they wanted, but that kind of threw me off a little bit. I didn’t know which direction they were headed.”

The Chargers’ compass for a new stadium continues to spin.

But after drafting Gordon, the Chargers’ rushing attack is no longer running in place.

One of the final two courses — one in the Village Park area — will be converted next year. The final course — Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe — is likely five years away from receiving recycled water due to the distance away from a recycled water source, Thorner said.

The cost to link The Farms to the district’s recycled water pipeline was relatively inexpensive — about $250,000, $200,000 of which was borne by the course and $50,000 by the district — but the process took about seven years to complete.

CONTINUED FROM B1 cluding a recently introduced monitoring program.

“The Habitat Management Plan is using… a federal and a state program to do a comprehensive level look at conservation and by doing that we can address the habitats that are needed for threatened and endangered species,” said Carlsbad Senior Planner Mike Grim.

Last fiscal year, the city received a Local Assistance Grant from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife which allowed them to monitor the wildlife in the region with motion-activated cameras.

“This was huge for Carlsbad,” said Marcus Spiegelberg, San Diego regional preserve manager with the Center for Natural Lands Management. “Movement is one of the most critical elements of the success of the Management Habitat Conservation Program.”

The goal was to observe and understand how bobcats and deer use the environmental corridors.

The footage, taken from June 2013 to March 2014, yielded surprising information.

A bobcat that was caught on tape had a tag on its ear and city staff put

CONTINUED FROM B1 vor of traffic signals, Overton thanked everyone for a thorough analysis on why roundabouts would be problematic.

He then invited those in favor of roundabouts to speak on why it would be a better solution for the corridor.

First up was covenant member Bill Schlosser.

He told members that if they wanted to learn more about roundabouts to go to the Association office since there were guides pertaining to roundabouts written by the federal government.

According to the Highway Administration Office

“It was quite the arduous process,” said Troy Mullane, the course superintendent. “There was a lot of coordination between a lot of entities; the course, the levels.

“It’s an improved water source for us,” he said.

Recycled, or reclaimed water, is treated wastewater that meets high enough standards for irrigation of public places such as landscaping and golf courses, but does not meet drinking standards. It runs through bright purple colored pipes so that people can distinguish them from potable water pipelines.

Mullane said that the recycled water with have potential residual effect of decreasing the course’s fertilization needs due to the water’s higher nitrate out a region wide email to learn more.

A researcher at San Diego State University said she recognized the bobcat and it likely traveled to Carlsbad from Rancho Peñasquitos.

“At least one individual has gotten from Rancho Peñasquitos all the way up here and it’s probably more likely others,” Grim said.

The camera footage allowed staff to collect data and identify problem areas for animal movement.

The cameras give staff reliable information instead of second-hand anecdotal evidence.

“You’ve got anecdotal data, where someone said they saw a deer or bobcat but you just didn’t really know where they were or how they were getting around,” said Grim.

Staff has also identified three major east-west corridors the animals use and three secondary corridors that connect the major ones.

One major corridor extends east from the Batiquitos Lagoon and links up with Rancho Santa Fe Road.

Another corridor extends east from Agua Hedionda Lagoon.

The northernmost corridor loosely follows state Route 78.

“We did find that many of Safety Guides, one point of reference mentioned how a roundabout’s geometric shape allows motorists to decrease their speed at intersections, which helps to improve safety.

Another member said a roundabout would provide a constant flow of traffic, which was desirable.

Also in favor of roundabouts was Martin Wilson. He believed if implemented, it would slow down speeding motorists and felt that a traffic signal would not offer the same advantages.

“Where we live is different,” Wilson said. “It’s different from the surrounding developments and the county of San Di- of the linkages are functional. ego recognizes this.” a lot.

Before the conversion, the Farms would use about 214-acre feet- or 70 million gallons — of water per year in irrigation from a reservoir just north of the course. To put in perspective, Thorner said, an acre-foot of water can satisfy two-and-a-half families’ drinking water needs for a year.

“Rather than using it on irrigation, we can now satisfy 500 families per year with this additional supply, and that is a pretty big deal,” Thorner said.

The animals are going through these structures even if there is a human presence at other times,” Grim said.

While the corridors work, there is till room for improvement.

There are 104 pinch points throughout the corridors, which are areas that are difficult for animals to cross through, whether the space is too narrow or there are obstructions in the way.

The hope is to identify problems the endangered species are having and solve them to allow the population to bounce back.

“The end goal would be that our system and all the other conservation plans that we have allow us to take these species that are threatened and endangered and have them have full recovery where they have self-sustaining populations,” said Grim.

In 2004, Carlsbad became the only city in the region to have an approved sub-area plan.

Oceanside is working towards one as well.

Over the past 10 years, staff has collected data on plants and animals in the area, which provides crucial information to Carlsbad staff and surrounding regions with the same species.

Wilson called this “roundabout opportunity” as a time to define the ranch.

“Roundabouts are not that common and neither is the covenant,” he said.

After the last speaker, Overton asked for a show of hands in where members currently were in the decision making process.

While an official vote will be taking place in the future, the hand raising gave an interesting point of view.

The informal tally revealed 11 in favor of a roundabout, 37 who wanted to keep everything status quo, and 120 in favor of a traffic signal.

It was my now civilian, former Army Air Corps captain and veteran of numerous World war II campaigns dad, who had been watching me drive back and forth past the right offramp. You can imagine how the rest of that trip went.

Blas. It’s a 1,419-mile trip (odometer). Of course I took a slight detour to pick up my girlfriend in Culiacan, Sinaloa, but that only added about 100 miles.

I started out toward Tucson, Arizona, where the speed limit is now 75 and then crossed the border in Nogales, Mexico, which is a nice little town — nothing like Tijuana.

When I drove Route 66 for the first time in ‘69, it was exhilarating as much as scary. I just didn’t know what to expect yet it turned into a memory bank moment in time.

This drive was close to the same. Back in 1959 my parents had taken us across Route 66 to New York so yes, I had experienced that drive (eating McDonald’s hamburgers, fries and milk shakes for $0.45, “Over one million hamburgers sold!”) but driving by myself was a different matter.

Last year my girlfriend flew up to Tijuana to meet up and the two of us drove all over half of Mexico through the States of Baja, Sonora, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima and Guanajuato. But this time I was driving solo in Mexico and not sure what to expect, especially when going through numerous military check points but, it was great.

I started at 2 a.m. from Encinitas, slept in a rest stop outside Tucson and then drove straight through for 12 hours to Culiacan. Everyone was to 10 p.m with both wine and handcrafted beer tastings, silent auction and live blues music for dancing; food including a beer and brats courtyard. Proceeds benefit charities. Tickets are $75 and are available at bonsallrotary.com. friendly and I had zero hassles by locals or authorities.

The roads are good and most are four-lane highways with large medians of natural habitat and mostly just wide open space that if it was California would be jammed pack with, well … California. But Mexico is not California yet, it is just lots of unspoiled natural beauty.

I’ll leave the truck down there for now and bring it back in a few months when I need to grab stuff you just can’t put on a plane and I’ll once again enjoy the ride through the towns and cities of Nogales, Hermosillo, Obregon, Guaymas, Novajoa, Los Mochis, Guasave, Guamuchil, Culiacan, Mazatlán, Tepic and San Blas.

There is so much beauty in the United States when you’re out on the open road.

I absolutely love seeing our country but the unspoiled beauty of Mexico can be breathtaking. I loved every minute of it.

By the way, my return flight from Culiacan, Sinaloa (girlfriend’s home) to Tijuana is about 850 miles and the Volaris flight is $88. Yeah, I spent a lot more than that on gas (about $175) but the joy of being free and one with God and the open road is just too hard to pass up. I tell everyone, I may be 65 but my head is still 19 … I love life, our Creator and the ability to drive, free as a bird.

By Eugenia Last FRIDAY, MAY 8, 2015

A positive attitude will be your secret weapon this year. Believing in yourself and your abilities will invite like-minded people to join you. You can overcome any obstacles if you stay focused and continue to use positive thinking to gain ground.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your winning personality will lead to all sorts of entertaining moments that allow you to shine. Make plans with someone special for a vacation or getaway that you’ve been dreaming about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Minor money problems will surface. Keep a close eye on your bank account and your budget so that an unexpected expense doesn’t clean you out and leave you in a compromising position.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t try to force your opinions on others. If someone wants your suggestions, they will ask. Otherwise, you will be seen as pushy and meddlesome.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Make amends if you haven’t been seeing eye-to-eye with someone you care about. Whether a comment was intentional doesn’t matter. Smooth things over or you will lose a valuable ally.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is about pleasure and pampering. Plan to do something special for yourself and those you love. Make plans to take a welcome break from your daily routine.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Tension will have you looking for a quiet spot to hide. This is a perfect time to focus on solitary tasks that have been piling up or to catch up on reading.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Not everyone will be ready to follow your lead. Gather with those who are and flesh out your plans. A sporting or cultural event will motivate and inspire you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Financial circumstances will require an innovative way to earn some extra money. With your knowledge and intellect, a mentoring or teaching position could be a workable solution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Get together with the ones you love most for some peaceful, playful interaction that will ease your stress. This fun will enable you to reconnect and strengthen your bonds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful how you handle personal relationships. Someone will withhold pertinent information about the past or a current situation that might influence your feelings.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Someone younger will look to you for advice with a personal matter. Avoid being judgmental. If necessary, help them find a trained counselor to later avoid being blamed for meddling.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Learn from your past mistakes. If anyone tries to thwart your plans, outmaneuver the competition by heading in a different direction. Use your expertise, speed and agility to come out on top.

In a vote April 21, the San Diego Board of Supervisors approved implementation of Laura’s Law, which allows for court-ordered treatment of severely mentally ill people who present a risk to themselves or others. County Supervisor Dave Roberts pushed for San Diego to join other counties in adopting this law since he took office. At the hearing Supervisors again heard pleas from the relatives of mentally-ill people, who told us forced treatment could have kept their loved one from incarceration, homelessness or death.
