Oceanside ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER SPEAKS: Oceanside Cadence Dance Project would like to thank Oceanside Abbey Carpet and Flooring as well as The Osider magazine.

Oceanside Abbey Carpet provided beautiful wood flooring samples in a local showroom for us to choose a new dance floor and The Osider magazine gave a local business a platform to advertise their specialty which is how we found Abbey Carpets.

Our staff and students love the new dance floors for ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop. We highly recommend Oceanside Abbey Carpet and Flooring to anyone looking for a local family owned business that has excellent products and customer service.

Isn’t it strange the way the universe tends to sort things out? When I first got into the magazine business in 1999, I worked here in Oceanside at TransWorld Media in the very same industrial complex we’re in here at The Osider Magazine.

Over that time period, media has changed from a “print-centric” world to the digital “Wild West.”

We knew print would never really die—it just needed to be refitted for today’s readers—so we set out to make a magazine solely about our community that’s full of beautiful photos, easily digestible stories (all on a positive note), and free to the public.

Well, here we are celebrating our fifth volume and four-year anniversary. We’re very grateful for 6

the support from our readers, advertisers, and everyone that’s been featured in the magazine.

We promise to continue to give you the best of what Oceanside has to offer and this issue is no exception. What better way to bring it full circle than having TransWorld SKATEboarding Magazine alumni Dave Swift shoot our first ever women’s skateboarding cover and feature story. No brainer, right? We thought so. Time to dig in and enjoy.

Thank you, Oceanside.

FOOD WASTE OR WASTED FOOD? WORDS: GREEN OCEANSIDE TEAM

Backyard composting is a wonderful way to divert your food waste from going into your landfill cart. The composting process turns food scraps into a nutrient rich soil amendment that can be used to grow more food. It’s a great example of a closed loop system where nothing is wasted.

But wait! What’s going in your compost bin? Is it just apple cores and onionskins, or are there vegetables and fruit that rotted before they could be consumed? The average family in the United States wastes an average of 1,000 pounds of food annually. This wasted food has a variety of impacts on our environment and our community that are coming to light.

On the heels of California’s launch of Food Waste Prevention Week this past March, it’s time that we collectively look at how to keep food from going to waste in the first place. With a few simple strategies you can do your part to prevent food from going into your compost bin, or worse—to the landfill.

THEOSIDER.COM

PLANNING • Make a list of your weekly schedule to look at how many meals you’ll eat at home during the week, and take into consideration sports practice, late meetings, and dinner out with friends.

• Look at the ingredients you have to work with from last week. If you're not going to use these ingredients, freeze them to use another time.

• Make a shopping list of ingredients you’ll need for the meals you have planned.

SHOPPING • When making your shopping list, include the quantities of each ingredient you’ll need.

• Take a picture of your shopping list with your phone, so you don’t forget it.

• Only buy what’s on your list. Buying in bulk does not save money if it ends up in the compost bin or landfill cart.

• Buy locally grown produce. It tends to be fresher and stays fresher longer. Or better yet, grow your own fruits and vegetables.

STORING AND PREPPING • As soon as you arrive home from your shopping, be sure to properly store your fruits and vegetables to preserve their freshness.

Visit SavetheFood.com for storage guidelines.

• Prep the ingredients you’ll need for each meal to save time during the week and help you stick to your meal plan.

20

COOKING • Cook once, use twice, or maybe three times. For example, cook all the chicken in the package and use the leftovers to make your lunch salad the next day.

• At the end of the week, turn the leftover vegetables in your refrigerator into a sauce or soup for next week.

• Try a new zero waste recipe. It may inspire new ways to use all parts of vegetables and fruit. See Vallie Gilley’s Tops and Bottoms Pesto recipe to the right.

Oceanside’s

TOM REESER WORDS: PROMISE YEE PHOTO: ZACH CORDNER

Retiring this October, Tom Reeser has been at the helm of Oceanside’s Community Television Station to record Oceanside’s growth, politics and news for the past three decades. A look back at his career reflects how much television has changed.

Reeser began working for KOCT in 1987, and took on the responsibility of being the station’s first executive director in 1991, shortly after the passing of KOCT founder Bob Bowditch.

He led the station through many unique firsts including a $1.2 million Public Education and Government (PEG) Access station franchise.

The franchise agreement was an elaborate process that included numerous public hearings.

Oceanside residents, the city, and cable company all had to agree on the idea. The capital allowed the station to hire more employees and purchase much needed equipment. The PEG station franchise is the last of its kind. Tom also oversaw daily operations, program productions, and fundraising efforts for the first PEG station in San Diego County. KOCT’s two channels provide 24/7 local government and community programing. The work was so encompassing, he was all in. “I was jumping into a career that hadn’t existed before. PEG channels were so new, it was intoxicating.” Basically, Tom helped forge the way in the new field.

One of his first tasks was moving operations

from KOCT’s small facility on Apple Street to its current home on Industry Street. The original station had work desks, studio space, and cablecast operations in the same room. “We bought our studio lights from a hardware store, and made our own production set curtains,” said Tom. The new location provided space for a separate studio, edit suites, cablecast room, offices, and lobby. New equipment was purchased to keep up with evolving technology, and the station moved to nonlinear editing, where

“KOCT has been successful in keeping up with technology advances as it records Oceanside’s history and creates programs that make a difference in people’s lives” edits and graphics are done on desktop computers that are networked to share information.

In its heyday KOCT, produced roughly 300 programs a year.

Another milestone Reeser saw the station through was the switch to high definition cameras and broadcasting capability in 2014. Improvements

were funded by a San Diego County grant. The switch to high definition was essential. “You couldn’t buy standard definition cameras anymore, and you couldn’t go halfway with a mix of standard and high definition equipment,” said Tom. Over the years, a state-of-the-art mobile studio was purchased to replace the PEG station’s first mobile studio, which at one point had worn equipment racks strung together with rope. The new mobile studio was further updated to broadcast in high definition when station upgrades were made.

KOCT has been successful in keeping up with technology advances as it records Oceanside’s history and creates programs that make a difference in people’s lives. Advanced technology is now less expensive and more capable than in the early days of PEG television, which allows KOCT productions to rival the quality of network news stations and meet viewers high expectations. This summer, the station plans to search for its next executive director. Reeser will be part of the interview committee, as he and the station both begin their next chapter.

Tom’s long-lasting dedication to highlighting and recording important events in our local community and beyond is what makes him one of Oceanside’s Finest. From everyone at The Osider, we thank you for your service, Tom!

HIDDEN GEMS

Owner Jim Palenscar

STEEL GUITARS OF NORTH COUNTY WORDS: AARON SCHMIDT PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER Tucked away at 3375 Mission Avenue in a non-descript shopping center is where you’ll find Steel Guitars of North County. Growing up in Pasadena, owner Jim Palenscar has been a huge proponent of pedal steel guitars since he first started playing them around 45 years ago.

“I’ve been playing pedal steel guitar since 1973, so I guess I got into it when I was around 24 or 25 years old,” said Jim with a big toothy grin.

Palenscar practiced Veterinary medicine here in Oceanside since 1977. He was forced to retire after he developed adult-onset asthma and his doctor said he couldn’t work with animals anymore.

Since retiring, Jim has always had tons of steel guitars, amplifiers, and pedals, etc., lying around his house, so he decided to open his own store in 2002 to propagate his passion for steel guitars.

From its first modest beginnings in Hawaii in the late 19th century, the steel guitar became hugely popular in the United States in the first THEOSIDER.COM

half of the 20th century, spawning a host of instruments designed specifically to be played with the guitar in a horizontal position. The first instrument was the Hawaiian “lap steel” guitar.

Most pedal steel guitars have anywhere from 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 strings.

“A steel guitar is something you use a steel bar to play. My particular interest is in pedal steel guitars. I also sell lap steel guitars. They all have to be played with a slide—whether it’s lap or pedal.

The pedals have knee leverage and they change the pitch of the string, making it either tighter or looser,” explained Jim. “The frets are totally flat— they’re there only as a visual placement. I let my eyes start to move and I let my ears finish it.”

With basically only four pedal steel guitar stores in the entire United States, Steel Guitars of North County is not only a retailer, it’s also a steel guitar museum, as most of the guitars are antiques from the 50s, 60s, and 70s to around a 100 years 24

old. They’re unique art relics in their own right and have all been hand built by master craftsman with infinite attention to detail. They don’t make ’em like this any more, folks. Brands featured include Zum Steel, Dekley, GFI, Williams, MSA, Desert Rose, Anapeg, Rus-ler, Peavey Amps, Marshall Amps, Sho-Bud, and Emmons, to name just a few.

SGNC usually does repairs and modifications on existing steel guitars customers bring in. “It’s a 50/50 split between selling guitars and fixing them because they aren’t many people who have taken the time to see how these guitars work. Plus, it’s a very small industry. We mainly sell pedal steel guitars and lap steel guitars as we have the largest inventory in the world,” said Jim. “We also offer lap and steel guitar lessons as well.”

In 2015, Jim bought Goodrich Sound, a legendary volume pedal company that now manufactures its pedals locally. “A Goodrich volume pedal is what a true ‘steeler’ needs to use, and I just couldn’t let it go away. So my friend Kevin Ryan and I purchased the company in 2015 and relocated it to Oceanside where we could continue to grow the legacy of the brand,” stated Jim. From sales, lessons, repairs, and modifications, Jim Palenscar’s passion for pedal steel guitars, years of unlimited knowledge, and patronage to giving his loyal customers great service is what makes Steel Guitars of North County truly a hidden gem.

NORTH COUNTY JUNIOR GOLF ASSOCIATION WORDS: AARON SCHMIDT  PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

RENORDO BOWEN

You’d be hard pressed to find someone more dedicated to golf than Dave Emerick. Growing up in Ohio, he’s been living and breathing golf since 1967. Along the way, Emerick won many junior events—one of the biggest was the Ohio Northeast Junior Championship. In 1974, he qualified for the Junior World Championships held in San Diego. Dave returned to Ohio, and after working in the steel mills, he then decided to move to San Diego, where he turned pro at 21, and began his career in golf.

After competing on mini tour events, Emerick moved to Oceanside in 1985 and then decided to become a PGA golf professional by earning a coveted membership to the PGA in 1988. Teaching eventually became his passion, and in 1992, Dave was hired on the staff at Ken Blanchard Golf University, where he was the lead instructor for ten years. Since then, his teaching jobs have included Director of Instruction at The Hodges Golf Center, a teacher at The Crossings at Carlsbad, Golf Coach at Carlsbad High School, and he’s currently a partner at Goat Hill Park, home of the NCJGA. After founding the North County Junior Golf Association in the summer of 1998 with his wife Marsha, Emerick has been helping kids learn the sport of golf and encouraging them by “Growing Up Golf” as it states on NCJGA’s website. “It originally started in 1968 by a couple from Escondido at a golf course that is no longer there, and it ended in 1988. My good friend John Ashworth (owner of Goat Hill Park and Linksoul Clothing) used to play in North County Junior Golf back then and mentioned to me that it needed to make a return,” said Emerick. “By 1998, my son was too young to play San Dieguito Golf, so my wife and I were like, ‘Let’s just start our own thing. We originally started at Rancho Carlsbad Golf Course with about sixteen kids.”

Now twenty years later, NCJGA has over 400 members and they’ve been located at Goat Hill Park for about four years now. Every Saturday, the group lessons run about an hour, and boys and girls of all ages and skill levels are welcome and encouraged. Membership rates, sponsorship opportunities, tournament schedules, and other pertinent information can all be found on their website. It’s very informative and can steer you in the right direction when choosing the best option for your child.

Not only does NCJGA focus on golf instruction, it also features two competitive tours now—an Executive Tour and a Championship Tour—with the two events held every month year-round. The Executive Tour consists of one tournament every month held at smaller courses like Lomas Santa Fe, Oaks North, Reidy Creek, St. Marks, and Emerald Isle. For the Championship Tour, they play once a month on a big course. “We started the tours in 2007, and that’s the year NCJGA became a non-profit. It wasn’t a non-profit until then,” explained Emerick.

On a personal note, my eldest son Avery has been under the tutelage of Coach Emerick and the NCJGA when he first started playing golf around four years ago. Since then, he’s elevated his game tenfold and is now Co-Captain of his

Varsity Golf team at La Costa Canyon High School. “Dave is really good with all types of golfers, whether it’s a beginner or a scratch golfer. Over the past year, I’ve really enjoyed helping him on Saturdays with the kids and making an impact on their games, ” said Avery.

My youngest son Kagan has recently started the program and after a few classes, he already has an amazing swing! NCJGA also has lots of cool programs like summer golf camps, PGA Junior League, golf clinics, Goat Hill Park Caddy Programs, after school programs, and they offer golf scholarships, as well.

It should be noted that NCJGA is totally donation driven and offers a wide range of financial sponsorship opportunities for companies and families looking to help grow the game of 27

golf in North County San Diego. NCJGA would not be possible without local company sponsorships that include Linksoul, Goat Hill Park, Taylor Made, Local Tap House, and Carlsbad Golf Center, just to name a few. “One of my main goals is to raise more money so the kids can learn for free. That’s one of my life long ambitions,” smiled Dave. “I think giving kids the gift of golf is important because it’s the game of a lifetime. It’ll take you places. We try to create a roadmap and a plan for kids here at Goat Hill. It’s all about the kids!”

THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE

SAN LUIS REY RIVER WORDS: KRISTI HAWTHORNE PHOTOS COURTESY OF OCEANSIDE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The San Luis Rey River flows from Palomar Mountain over 50 miles through the San Luis Rey Valley to Oceanside where it parallels Highway 76 and empties into the Pacific Ocean.

The river was an essential part of life for Native Americans in the area, as well as the abundant wildlife. Its water levels depend solely upon the rains, and in drought conditions its flow is nonexistent. A good rain can quickly increase it to a running level and a steady, sustained rain has brought the river to flooding many times.

1.

On July 18, 1769, Padre Juan Crespi arrived to what is now known as San Luis Rey Valley, and noted that the River was full of rich silt, not flowing to the Ocean and had formed into marshes and small ponds.

2.

As settlers came to the Valley and set up farms or ranches, they naturally chose land near the River as it provided good soil for crops and much needed water for livestock, as well as people. With a growing population, the need for water became even more important. The San Luis Rey River was the primary source of water, and there were many disputes as to who owned the water rights.

THEOSIDER.COM

3.

At one time, Rainbow Trout were plentiful in the San Luis Rey River— particularly upstream and near Palomar Mountain. As early as 1905, the headwaters of the River were stocked with 10,000 Rainbow Trout by the state fish hatchery.

Several factors have diminished the presence of the trout, including Lake Henshaw Dam, which was constructed in 1924. However, it was reported in 2007 that biologists “observed an adult steelhead approximately 21-24 inches in length in the San Luis Rey River near Oceanside.”

4.

In 1888, W. D. Frazee reported “the San Luis Rey is the largest river in San Diego County, and is owned from the sea to its head by the Flume 32

Company, which acquired all the water rights by appropriation or purchase.” The San Luis Rey Flume Company planned to build a channel to route the San Luis Rey River to meet water demands. Escondido diverted water from the San Luis Rey River via the Escondido Canal built in 1894-95.

5.

The San Luis Rey River has sustained life, but has also impacted development in our brief recorded history. In 1876, the San Diego Union reported that mail was halted because of the water level in the River and teams could not pass it. In 1888, the South Oceanside Diamond newspaper reported the River’s varied fluctuation. In March of that year it read: “The San Luis Rey River is higher

SAN LUIS REY RIVER

recollection in a 1961 interview: “I had a cousin who drowned in the 1916 flood. She was Mrs. Cornelius Hermens and she and her family lived on a ranch in the San Luis Rey River Valley. They had a two-story house and when the water began to rise, so she had her husband move all the furniture up on the second floor. Then, by the time they started to try to get out, it was too late. They were driving out in a wagon with a team and the water got so high that her husband unhitched the horses and they swam out and were saved. One by one the husband carried their two little girls out to a neighbor and he told his wife to swim out, too, but she wouldn’t leave her sister-inlaw. By then, the water was so high that they wouldn’t let him go back in after them so his wife, her sister-inlaw, Miss Hermens, and a neighbor, Mrs. Nelson, were drowned when the water turned the wagon over. Their bodies were found the next day.”

8.

Of course, flooding is a natural occurrence, but with development can bring extensive damage. Substantial floods occurred in 1969, 1978, and in 1980. Flooding of the San Luis Rey River not only resulted in property damage, but loss of life as well. In January 1980, a person was killed at the Loretta Street crossing (a road which no longer exists) when their car was caught in deep floodwaters. In another incident, a young boy was swept away when his mother misjudged the water level and attempted to cross the rain-swollen San Luis Rey River.

than it has been for two years. Are we all going to drown?” Then just three months later, it read: “The San Luis Rey River is getting dry.”

6.

A substantial flood occurred in 1893, taking out the railroad bridge over the San Luis Rey River. Again in 1895, heavy rains caused the River to overflow and flood ranches in the San Luis Rey Valley. When auto traffic resulted in a need for an auto bridge over the River, the approach to the bridge was less than adequate. In 1909, it was reported that the San Luis Rey River, even at its lowest level, was nearly impossible to cross due to the thick mud. Local farmers charged $5 an auto (or more) to pull cars to the bridge with a team of

horses. Auto traffic had a difficult time until a new bridge with an improved approach was built in 1910.

7.

In 1916, San Diego County was impacted by a tremendous flood. Over ten inches of rain fell during the month of January, devastating towns and ranches throughout the county. The swollen San Luis Rey River was filled with debris and wiped out all the bridges. Railroad tracks were displaced and roads were destroyed. Pine trees from Palomar Mountain were deposited on the beach at Oceanside, along with drowned livestock.

Twenty-two people were killed due to the flooding, including three residents of the San Luis Rey Valley. Leonore A. Marron Alvardao provided a vivid 33

Eventually, these tragedies prompted action by the Army Corps of Engineers. In 1989, construction of a flood control project began, which included a retaining wall near the mouth of the river at the Oceanside Harbor. While the project eased worries of flooding and extensive property damage, it impacted the river’s flow, as well as the sand deposits that are essential to our beaches. In 2008, a new bridge replaced the “Pacific Street Crossing,” which was a raised berm providing auto access from Pacific Street to the Harbor. The old bridge regularly washed out when the San Luis Rey River was rain swollen and had to be rebuilt several times.

10.

Today, the City of Oceanside reports that only about eight percent of the Oceanside’s drinking water supply comes from the San Luis Rey River groundwater basin, which is pumped from wells and then treated at a Reverse Osmosis plant.

While our residents may be not be wholly dependent upon the River for our water supply, it still remains an essential part of our ecosystem and a life source to birds, plants, and animals of all kinds.

Home grown JOHN ALVAREZ WORDS: JAMEY STONE PHOTO: PRISCILLA IEZZI

Not many people can say that they’ve been living here in Oceanside since 1949, but that’s the year John Alvarez was born and he’s stayed in his beloved hometown ever since.

If you know John, then it’s no secret that he’s a true entrepreneur. At age eleven, he started his first business endeavor with a snow-cone stand in front of the old Foodland on Oceanside Boulevard—that’s where John’s work ethic began to grow. He went on to become a boat captain, where he fell in love with the ocean life.

On those long trips, there were always three pots of coffee on the charters—two for the clients and one special pot for the “night watch” crew.

It stuck with him, and his love affair with great coffee began.

John opened up The Nautical Bean coffee shop here at the Harbor 25 years ago this May, and has been immersed in making the best tasting and most powerful coffee ever since. He’s been to plantations everywhere from Kona, Hawaii to Costa Rica, and everywhere in between. The name of that blend is called Night Watch (in honor of the night watch crews he spent so much time with as a captain). Night Watch Coffee has grown from being the Nautical Bean’s special house blend to being sold in the retail world via K cups and classic grounds.

These days, John lives on an amazing houseboat at the Harbor, where he spends time with his lovely wife Bobbie, his two grown children John and Jodie, and his six grandkids.

John says that if you stay busy and do things you enjoy, life is always good. One look into his home on the water is a testament to his love of life and hard work. It’s easy to see why he loves Oceanside so much. John continues to help out our younger generation by sharing his knowledge of life and business.

So if you ever need to be inspired or have a question or two—just swing by Harbor, grab a coffee, and spark up a conversation with John.

He’ll be happy to help.

& NORA VASCONCELLOS TWO OCEANSIDE WOMEN TAKING SKATEBOARDING TO THE NEXT LEVEL Oceanside and skateboarding have always had a strong connection. Whether it’s early skate contests at the Pier band shell, or the legendary Oceanside skate brands like Tracker Trucks and TransWorld Skateboarding Magazine, the connection between the two cannot be denied.

Over the last ten years, we’ve built three cement skate parks here. Couple that with the laidback vibe of our city, and it’s no wonder that so many top-level skaters now call Oceanside home. Also within this skate community, it’s quite refreshing to see how many women now taking part in this growing culture. The ladies are ripping harder than ever with a skill level that’s right on par with the boys.

So, we here at The Osider are honored to feature two young ladies that are taking skateboarding to the next level, as both are featured on our first women's skateboarding cover.

We recently sat down with these amazing humans to find what makes Oceanside such a desirable home for skateboarders.

Introducing Nora Vasconcellos and Nicole Hause.

AGE: 25 SPONSORS: Welcome Skateboards, adidas, OJ Wheels, MovieTickets.com, Bronson Speed Bearings, MOB Grip, Krux Trucks, Stance, CCS INSTAGRAM: @noravexplora @pleasure.business Where did you grow up?

Pembroke, Massachusetts What brought you to Oceanside?

I was living in Orange County when I first moved to California, and it was pretty boring. I was either driving down to North County or up to LA. I finally moved down to Oceanside because of all the skate parks and spots, and also to be closer to friends.

What’s your favorite food spot in Oceanside?

I love Swami’s for breakfast and brunch, and Bagby’s and Local Tap House for dinner.

What’s your daily routine in Oceanside?

Wake up, grab some food, or head to Frazier Farms for groceries. Usually, I’ll go skate Prince Park (Alex Road Skate Park) with the crew. Then I’ll eat again and hang out at my house. I also like to hike up by Lake Calavera before sunset.

Some days I’ll get lucky and go for a surf.

THEOSIDER.COM

It seems that there are a lot more female skaters than ever before. How does it make you feel to see girls finally getting equal recognition?

I think it’s about time. Its great to see that women don’t have to fit into a specific mold— that they can be themselves, and have their own style.

What are some of your goals as a professional skateboarder?

I just want to skateboard for as long as I can and continue to enjoy what I’m doing.

There are so many pro skaters moving to Oceanside, why do you think that is?

I think it’s a really attractive place to be because of how accessible it is. You can go to the beach, hike in the hills, and then easily get on the I-5 or 15 to travel. Oceanside has a lot of history in the skate community, too. There are so many spots and parks to skate.

38

What would you say to anyone who wants to pursue the dream of becoming a professional skateboarder?

Work really hard, and know that’s part of the game. Don’t get discouraged and never stop loving skateboarding.

Which of our three skate parks is your favorite?

That’s a hard one, but probably Prince Park.

What got you into skateboarding?

A cartoon called Rocket Power. I became obsessed with surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding.

If you could be any mythical creature, what would you be?

Some sort of flying cat-like creature. That’d be cute.

It’s making everyone better as a whole, and that’s the coolest thing to see.

What are some of your goals as a professional skateboarder?

Progress the sport, as well as learn all the tricks I write down on pieces of paper.

There are so many pro skateboarders moving to Oceanside, why do you think that is?

Because it’s the most chill spot around.

What would you say to anyone who wants to pursue the dream of becoming a professional skateboarder?

Skate for yourself, and always do things you’re stoked on. Also, work really really hard.

Which of our three skate parks is your favorite?

Prince Park is my favorite.

What got you into skateboarding?

I was at a friend’s birthday party at a skatepark in Minnesota.

GEORGE PAPCIAK WORDS: RACHEL MICHELLE FERNANDES PHOTOS: CHRISTOPHER DONEZ

George Papciak isn’t a North County native, but he should be given the honorary title.

Originally hailing from Pennsylvania, Papciak (lovingly known as “Pap” to most of his former students) has lived in Oceanside since 1960 and taught art at El Camino High School for 28 years.

Now, in the last two years since his retirement, Pap has been getting busy with the brushes and amassing a huge and diverse collection of masterful paintings.

“No matter what was happening in my life, I always found time to paint,” recalled Papciak.

“It’s different, though—not having to go to work, or worry about paying rent. It’ll be two years in June (since retiring), and I’ve been in that studio almost every single day and I’m in heaven.” The immense pleasure he takes in his artistic practice is immediately apparent upon viewing Papciak’s work, or listening to him speak about his many inspirations.

Most of the artist’s paintings contain a level of political undertone or overtone. Even his most recent series of landscapes painted in an expressive, hyper realist style portray locations that are precariously hanging in the balance as Southern California continues to expand its seemingly relentless, gentrifying sprawl.

Images of lagoons, vanishing mid-century beach shacks, and fading brick and mortar spots like the old Leucadia Donut Shop are all presented with the same sense of melancholic nostalgia, as if predicting or mourning a loss.

THEOSIDER.COM

They also reflect the deep beauty inherent in the native landscapes. “It’s not really about the donut shop, it’s about the Coast Highway,” explained Papciak. “As a child, there wasn’t an I-5, necessarily. We took the highway down to drop my grandmother off at the airport, and I remember 40

these trees. They stuck in my memory.”

Papciak also paints overtly political images, such as two stunning companion pieces he made for his MFA thesis for Laguna College of Art and Design he named “Enemy Funeral.” The scenes, painted on gold backgrounds, each

depict a funeral procession—one for an American soldier, and the other for what appears to be a Jihadi. Papciak dressed his Chicano students in middle eastern-style clothes, photographed and subsequently painted them, and then had a friend write in Islamic the translation of “ashes to ashes, dust to dust” on the bottom. The phrase also appears in English at the bottom of the U.S.

funeral scene, as does a seven of hearts card with the last heart cut out, pointing to a personal story of his father’s service. The effect is truly powerful, inviting the viewer to draw comparisons between both scenes and making apparent the humanity, which ties us all together.

Now that Papciak has created so many finished works, he’s ready to put them on display, 41

having recently shown at both Mira Costa College and the Oceanside Museum of Art. He’ll also soon be having his first solo exhibition at the Privateer this coming June, and is also in talks to show his more overtly political work at The Hill Street Country Club. Look out for his work, as this powerhouse local treasure is sure to make quite an impact.

LOCAL SCHOOLS & RESTAURANTS COLLABORATE TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER Collaborations between schools and restaurants in the city of Oceanside are being forged and thriving because the members at the heart of the movement care about their community. The “farm-to-table” movement is a straightforward way of simplifying the food chain by utilizing food sources close to home, keeping food fresh, and wholesome. Oceanside has embraced the farmto-table movement as it gains momentum, and for good reason. “With factory farming, mankind just went off the path. The quality and integrity of the food sources lose value, nutrition, and taste by delaying the time it takes to get from the farm to dining room tables,” said Chef Davin Waite of Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub.

a dining destination. One way chefs are getting their hands on fresh, local ingredients is through a unique partnership with local schools. Restaurants source wholesome ingredients from local school gardens, and turn students’ efforts into culinary works of art.

Palmquist Elementary is the model for the local school farm-to-table movement. At the forefront of the Oceanside movement is the dedicated and humble Farm Manager, Mark Wagner. Chef Davin is passionate about Mark’s work: “These kids are growing amazing vegetables. We’re lucky to have Mr. Wagner in the community. It takes a special person to get the ball rolling, and now some of our produce comes from a school garden just four-to-five blocks away in an urban setting,” said Chef Davin.

“ONE WAY CHEFS ARE GETTING THEIR HANDS ON FRESH, LOCAL INGREDIENTS IS THROUGH A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS” Mark Wagner started his career at Palmquist as a third grade teacher. Approximately eight years ago, he noticed that the half acre of land at the southern end of the campus was overrun with weeds. With the help of dedicated community volunteers and support of the principal, Mark brought it back to a working farm. With time and attention, the once overgrown plot of land is a working farm that’s tended by all 624 Palmquist students.

The Palmquist farm includes a 36-foot by 24-foot greenhouse, aquaponics station, and impressive hydroponics system. The educational program is so prosperous it’s been replicated at South Oceanside Elementary, and is taught as Applied Biology at Lincoln Middle School. Mark is now the full-time farm manager, dividing his time between the three schools. “Children really open up with the fresh air and soil. They appreciate nature, and I know they take it home.

If you asked me six years ago, it’s far surpassed my expectations,” said Wagner. Every week for two years, approximately 80 pounds of harvested watercress, beets, radishes, and kale (along with other delectable fruits and vegetables) are sold at $2.50 per pound to local restaurants to be showcased on their menus. The profits from the produce are used to maintain the farm.

A recently enacted California state law (AB234) permits school cafeterias to serve food grown at the schools. “I was the most happy when I heard the cafeterias were able to buy produce from their own students. To me, that makes the best sense—it’s really cool and admirable. No matter what, it’s a plus. Everyone wins, and this needs to be duplicated 35 times. It gives kids a value to the food. They realize they harvested that orange that’s now in the cafeteria, so they have to eat it, ” said resident organic farm expert, Luke Girling of Cyclops Farms.

Mary Rearick—lead lunch lady at Palmquist— utilizes the produce whether it’s forty pounds of oranges, or twenty-five pounds of kale. She’s used it to make items like kale chips and applesauce, and it’s a staple in the cafeteria salad bar. “We’re very lucky to have such a huge garden. I love putting out the food they grew and watching the kids enjoy it,” explained Rearick.

Local restaurants and chefs help fuel the community-friendly school farm movement. “Our relationship with LTH has helped in the harvesting 47

Staci Miller of The Miller’s Table is the newest restaurateur to get involved with the movement, and currently receives weekly produce from South Oceanside Elementary. “I love this community of Oceanside. As a small proprietor working long hours each and every day, it’s hard for me to get involved in the 48

networking events, so being able to support the community and our kids by buying South O’s produce is perfect. Principal Dave is a great supporter,” said Miller.

Chef Davin and his wife Jessica (owners of Wrench & Rodent) are industry leaders in the farm-to-table movement. “I have real faith in this

Food Foundation (BGFF).

As the farm-to-table movement thrives and permeates communities throughout America, the same goes for Oceanside. Vicki Gravlin, Senior Director of Academic Excellence and Innovation and the Oceanside Unified School District fully 49

supports the gardens and stresses that each garden takes a “champion” to make it successful— to oversee the garden long-term. With community champions on board, gardens are popping up at many of the Oceanside elementary schools, including potential revitalization of the rooftop gardens at both Oceanside High School and El Camino Real High School. All in good time, too.

Mark said the list of restaurants that want to purchase produce is growing and he can’t keep up with demand.

In the end, the entire community of Oceanside wins with school gardens. For example, the fifth graders at Palmquist are currently growing sunflowers that they’ll sell to pay for camp. The process will teach them how to grow a product and sell it for profit to pay for a good/service. The life lessons learned from one sunflower project are real-life skills. And, it sure is nice to enjoy quality produce grown a few blocks away when dining out in Oceanside.

MAIL BOXES OF OCEANSIDE WORDS: ALICIA STONE PHOTOS: RENORDO BOWEN

Mail Boxes of Oceanside has been a staple since 1983, and was purchased in 1987 by now owner Joey Ludwiczak’s mother, Helen.

Helen Ludwiczak had always dreamt of buying a home and running a small business by the beach. When Joey, her youngest of six kids graduated high school, she was able to fulfill that dream and relocate her family from Hacienda Heights, California to Oceanside.

Joey originally helped his mother at the store with two sisters before branching off for a few years to work in construction and he became a glass glazer. In the late 90s, he returned to the family business to allow his mother to transition into retirement in 2000.

Mail Boxes of Oceanside offers 24-hour access to private mailbox rentals with an actual street address. In an age where mail and parcel THEOSIDER.COM

theft is becoming more and more prevalent, you don’t have to worry about your packages disappearing from your doorstep, which is a huge relief, as online shopping has become a part of modern life. Of course, while you’re there, you can accomplish all of your other office tasks like packing, shipping, notary, copies, faxing, and Internet access. They also carry a selection of greeting cards, sell stamps, and make keys. It has a great location in one of the original buildings in downtown Oceanside, serves as a convenient stop for UPS, FedEx, and USPS, and they have over 800 mailboxes available to the public.

Joey and his wife Arica purchased a home here in 2011 and spend their spare time showing their 1969 Camaro at local car shows, and cruising down the coast with their dogs, Moose and Maverick. “I’ve been in downtown for the last 31 years, and as a business owner it’s great to see all the growth happening here recently. I know most people are afraid of change, but I love it. I see the changes for the better,” said Joey.

LOCAL RETAILER

REAL SURF SHOP WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

Owner, Shawn Ambrose and daughter Madison

Shawn Ambrose has been keeping it real in Oceanside with Real Surf Shop since 2003.

A native of Newfoundland, Canada. Ambrose arrived in Oceanside in his early teens, but didn’t make it his permanent home until 2003. A shaper by trade, Ambrose kept his eye on the building at 1101 South Coast Highway. When the building became available, he started by shaping boards in October 2003, then opened the doors with Real Surf Shop in May 2004. It’s a full-service surf shop with everything needed to enjoy Oceanside beaches and locale.

Real Surf Shop is a small, family-owned surf shop, which makes it a rare find in today’s marketplace. The small surf shops have given way to big-name surf retailers. Ambrose pointed out a few keys to his small business success. He believes creating his own private label was an important key to success. He has a background in screen design and Ambrose can now do his own screen printing on premise. He’s currently making a series of shirts and hats that are uniquely Oceanside like the slogan he loves, THEOSIDER.COM

“Localization not gentrification.” Ambrose is also collaborating with local restaurants like Wrench & Rodent, and Flying Pig for unique shirts endorsing localization because he’s learned, “Oceanside really supports its own.” Shawn has also created and organically grown a skate brand called Poseur. He credits Instagram and social media for Poseur’s effective growth and a new way to do business online.

Ambrose also believes diversifying his product is a smart business move. Along with shaping, retail sales, and screen printing, Real Surf Shop offers beach rentals. It’s one of the few shops that rent regular surfboards, and not soft tops—which is perfect for visiting surfers that don’t want the hassle of traveling with a board.

Real Surf Shop’s screen time on TNT’s Animal Kingdom hasn’t hurt business, either. The producers chose Real Surf Shop for its authentic vibe. The crew, now on Season 3, are great to work with. “I have to stock up because the crew buys me out. They’re down on The Strand wearing my stuff. It’s great,” smiled Ambrose. The 52

television show also helps with business because tourists visit after watching Animal Kingdom.

Ambrose also loves being an Oceanside concierge. When people come in to his shop, he tells them about local places where they can get what they need. Those people then send customers his way. He has out-of-town customers that return every year, as Real Surf Shop is part of their experience.

As an “old school” surf shop run by a surfboard shaper, Real Surf Shop has found its niche—and that’s what Ambrose believes is the ultimate key to success. He’s kept the doors open as a successful small business owner in Oceanside, and along with daughter, Madison, plans to stay the course for a very long time!

The City of Oceanside’s priority is protecting the safety of our citizens and maintaining a quality of life we all value in our community.

Over the past 10 years, the City has made cuts to staff and services. Furthermore, the cost of public safety is increasing every year and the City needs additional resources to maintain safety and our level of police officers, firefighter/paramedics and lifeguards. Improving local streets, sidewalks and essential infrastructure will also help keep Oceanside safe.

To provide stable local funding to meet these needs, the City is considering placing a one-half cent sales tax measure on the November 2018 ballot.

■ The measure would require independent citizens’ oversight and public audits.

FIREFIGHTER/ PARAMEDICS

POLICE OFFICERS

■ Current sales tax rate is 7.75%. The City of Oceanside only receives 1% of that rate.

■ All money raised by the measure would be used locally and could not be taken by the State.

■ The sales tax measure is proposed to last for a duration of seven years.

MARISCOS EL PULPO LOKO

WORDS: JAMEY STONE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

I love searching out new places to eat, and it’s no secret how much I love Mexican Cuisine— especially seafood. So when my good buddy Alan hit me up recently to check out Mariscos El Pulpo Loko, I jumped right in the Subaru and headed down Oceanside Boulevard to this unassuming strip mall to find out just how good this place was for myself.

As I entered the establishment, I was immediately taken right back to Baja. Everything— from the modest wooden tables to the accordion music playing in the background—reminded me of so many great surf trips down the Baja coast.

After being seated, I was given a menu. Of course, they featured the standard—fish and shrimp tacos—but it was the specialty items that drew my attention. It’s not everyday that you see things such as the Molcajete El Pulpo and The El Jefe Michelada on the menu.

The Molcajete is a traditional dish of a house made green chili sauce, melted cheese and a generous portion of grilled Octopus, shrimp and fish swimming in a big happy bowl. The El Jefe THEOSIDER.COM

Michelada is like the Mexican version of a Bloody Mary, but instead of vodka, it’s served with two bottles of the beer of your choice. This is a meal in a glass with fresh tomato juice, lime shrimp, candied Mango, bacon, Mexican peanuts, and of course, the sweet and salty Chamoy around the rim. Believe me when I tell you that these are only just a few of the all the amazing and original dishes on the menu.

The house is run by El Capitan Alfredo Florez and owned by Chris Garcia. Chris decided to open his own place when a former employer had a staff meeting and told the whole staff that they were replaceable. He believes that everyone is special and that a good business runs best when you embrace the staff like a family and it really shows. When I asked Chris, “Why Oceanside?”

He simply replied, “Well, Oceanside is the best city.” I recommend checking them out on Friday evening or Sunday for lunch—they have a live Mariachi band playing on those days.

Forget the border wait—just head down to The Crazy Octopus, and let your daycation begin.

THAT

BOY Mac & Cheese

Baby Back Ribs on Cornbread

GOOD WORDS: AARON SCHMIDT PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER That Boy Good has been a staple in Oceanside ever since owners Kim and Mark Millwood first opened its doors at 207 North Coast Highway in 2012. If you didn’t know already, TBG is a bona fide Southern-style barbeque that serves up some of the best BBQ in all of North County. After a few successful years and slight name change, the restaurant now goes by the name Miss Kim’s

by That Boy Good, and the original That Boy Good got a new home.

In October of 2017, TBG opened its second location at 326 North Horne Street Horne Street (in the Harbor Freight Tools shopping center) and its new building is massive—a huge open-air window flanks the dining area, complete with a walk-up counter and ample seating with plenty of breathing room. The kitchen alone is around 3,000 square feet—it’s huge with plenty of room to cook up the best barbeque this side of the Mississippi! Upon entering the building, you’ll see that That Boy Good shares its building with Northern Pine Brewing, which uses TBG’s space for seating and serving beers.

“We originally looked at the space before we even knew who they (Northern Pine) were. We had a few different ideas and concepts for the building, but it was just too big of a space for just That Boy Good alone. One of our local realtors brought in Annie and Aaron Ortega from Northern Pine, because just like us, they didn’t want the THEOSIDER.COM

whole building—just half of it. We were like, ‘Okay, you guys brew beer on one side and we’ll set up a kitchen on the other.’ They needed us because you can’t serve alcohol without some sort of food being served,” explained Mark.

Basically, Kim and Mark found the building and partnered up with Northern Pine Brewery so they could have a bigger space and set their sights on That Boy Good catering. “The main focus here is catering,” said Kim. “We can now cater for you and 1,500 of your closest friends.” Party platters are chock full of mouth-watering baby back ribs, pulled pork, tri-tip, wings, briskets (or beef links), cornbread, coleslaw, smoked beans, Mac ’N’ Cheese, deviled eggs, dirty fries, collard greens, Shrimp Remoulade, and much more.

That Boy Good’s menu is a thing of beauty as they mix all the nation’s best barbeque flavors together into one sweet and savory combination of epic goodness. Most popular menu items include Smoked Tri-tip Chili, Smoked Chicken, Smoked Tri-tip Chili, Frito Pie, Double Cut Baby Back Ribs on cornbread, Fried Corn On The Cob, and an amazing combo platter that features chopped beef brisket, pulled pork, and smoked beef hotlinks, just to name a few.

After filling up your belly, you can (if you have room) cap things off with some delicious Southern sweets like their Louisiana Abita Rootbeer Float or Caramelized Apple Crisps.

Well, then just grab yourself some of their house made barbeque sauce! It’s called The Sauce (Mild and Hot & Spicy) and it’s off the charts! If you get a hankerin’ for some authentic Southern BBQ, then do yourself a favor and stop by TBG. You’ll be glad you did.

GIANNI’S PIZZA

WORDS: KATIE LALICATA PHOTOS: DANIELLE JACKSON I know you’re here to read about pizza. But if I only wrote about the food, then I’d be leaving out the best part. Glen Quaranta is a local legend, filmmaker, musician, farmer, and all around good guy—opened Gianni’s Pizza way back in 1992.

As an Italian who grew up in New York, lived in Chicago, and then eventually moved here, it’s safe to say Glen knows a thing or two about pizza—and Italian hospitality.

The energy Glen brings to life is infectious.

From the minute you walk through the door, you don’t want to leave. The vibe here is hip, funky, creative, and not because that’s what’s trending, but because that’s who Glen is. I get the feeling not too much has changed around Gianni’s Pizza in the last 25 years, and that’s a good thing. The location—nestled next to the Home Depot off of College and 78—is unassuming, but the food will blow your mind. Glen brings creative ideas to the kitchen, local ingredients to the food, and the finest of flours all the way from Naples, Italy to make you the very best pizza dough.

This place is a perfect mix of traditional Italian ideals with fresh foodie ingenuity. The most popular item is a good old-fashioned slice THEOSIDER.COM

of cheese pizza. The price tag is as good as the pie. For only $2.50, your belly and wallet will both be full. For those who prefer to indulge a bit on the wild side, try the Funky GoGo (a turmeric and Gochujang-flavored pizza), or the Naked Hippy Pasta—you will not be disappointed. Rad! And yes, you read correct—turmeric pizza is delicious and nutritious. Not enough? “A cool thing we do here, that I learned out on one of those farms, was that we roast beets in organic coconut oil, and then we put them on pizza or into this pasta,” said Glen.

Gianni’s also serves vegan and cauliflower pizza crusts, and a second generation spicy Giardiniera Italian sauce mix that’s spread all over the above said pasta. If you’re a craft beer connoisseur, you’re in luck! The selection here ranges from some of the tastiest local brews to other top IPAs from across the nation.

Whether you’ve eaten here hundreds of times, or are just now learning about Gianni’s— you’re due for a visit. Swing by for some grub, stay for the good company, and learn a bit about the secrets of life and why food tastes better when it’s created with love.

IN MEMORIAM: JAMES “RIP” HARPER 1917-2018 WORDS & PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

Rip Harper photographed at Oceanside's All Saints Chapel in 2014.

It’s with a heavy heart we must report that James "Rip" Harper has passed away. You may remember Rip, as he was featured as “Oceanside’s Finest” in Issue Number 3 of The Osider.

He was a 100 year-old WWII Marine Corps veteran and caretaker of the All Saints Cemetery.

Born in 1917 to a poor sharecropper family in Mississippi, James Austin “Rip” Harper joined the Marines during World War II, saw combat in the Battle of Okinawa, and retired as a Colonel in the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion with over 25 years in the service.

On Sunday, March 25th, 2018, Rip’s ashes were laid to rest next to his wife on what would have been their 74th wedding anniversary. After a short ceremony at the All Saints Chapel, Rip was then buried with full honors by the Marines, that included a 21-gun salute, an Honor Guard presentation of the American flag, and two trumpeters from the Marine Corps Band played “Taps.”

The Osider would like to thank the Harper Family for allowing us to document such a special ceremony. Stories like Rip’s are why we do our magazine … to honor one of Oceanside’s Finest, and in Rip’s case—one of America’s Finest.
