Family anxiously awaits outcome of pharmaceutical company, FDA battle By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — It was a devastating diagnosis with a fatal outcome. But for one Escondido family, their fight to prolong their son’s life is one of patience, frustration, anger and honesty. Todd and Angie Morrow, however, are currently in a holding pattern as a pharmaceutical company and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) battle over the fate of critical drug. In the meantime, the two are caring for their son, Ryan, a spry 6-yearold with a beaming smile as he wages a fight against a rare disease known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy

(DMD). Affecting mainly boys, most diagnosed die in their late teens to mid-20s due to heart or lung failure, according to the Muscular Dystrophy website. In rare cases, patients live into their 40s and 50s. There is no cure or medications to treat DMD. Symptoms typically begin between the ages of 3 and 5, and affect one in 3,500 boys. “You don’t really know what’s behind the disease,” Todd Morrow said. “There’s three major mutations. He has a stop codon. Each drug that is being developed is designed for each type of defect.”

The Morrows lives were changed forever about four years ago when they noticed Ryan wasn’t walking as soon as he should. After several doctor’s visits, nothing was discovered, and Ryan began to walk. However, Todd Morrow still felt something was amiss. They turned to a neurologist who performed a blood test revealing the DMD diagnosis when Ryan was about 18 months old. When revealed there was no cure, the new parents were crushed. The struggle, though, is Ryan was not allowed into two clinical triTURN TO WAITING ON 14

New signage points way to center’s rebranding By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — Nestled in Grape Day Park, a time machine awaits. Rather, a string of buildings and a train tell the story of the city from its roots as an agricultural power, standing tall with its Japanese-American residents after Pearl Harbor and becoming the largest city in North County. But many don’t know what the buildings, including a Victorian Country home, are despite resting just across from City Hall. Enter Stacey Ellison, the executive director of the Escondido History Center, who has begun a rebranding campaign. Although the city owns the buildings, the nonprofit runs the interior. The first step was landing a grant on Aug. 2 from the San Diego County

ESCONDIDO — A walking tour resulted in a timeout for the controversial tree removal as part of the city’s improvement project to upgrade sidewalks in Old Escondido. The issue blew up over the past week when residents discovered nearly three dozen trees had been removed as part of a $3.3 million project. The plan called for improvements to sidewalks and roads in the neighborhood. On Tuesday, Mayor Sam Abed and council members Olga Diaz and Ed Gallo took part in a walking tour, along with about 50 residents, two city arborists and the assistant director of public works. Diaz admitted the city did a “horrible” job of notifying the residents of the plan in a timely manner, but said the meeting went smoothly. “We had two city arborists give explanations about why the trees had been tagged for replacement,” she said. “We should have made contact months in advance.” The city will hold off on removing trees until an independent arborist delivers an assessment, although Diaz said other improvements would continue. For example, sidewalk corners will be replaced to add or improve wheelchair access. She said the council and city was caught by surprise to the reaction, but stressed the intent was in good faith. Diaz said other options construction crews may consider are snaking paths, depending on the health of specific trees. The decision by the council, which was made months ago, was to fund the project. However, details of the project were left with city staff and contractors to de-

termine the best and most efficient way forward, Diaz said. “Engineers and contractors tend want to do things as quickly as possible for efficiency, not just financially,” she explained. “Some of the removal began without the residents being properly noticed. That is absolutely our shortcoming and I’m pretty sure it will never happen again.” In addition, she said one of the city’s arborists pointed out the trimming of the trees through the years has hurt their health. Diaz said it may be prudent to include San Diego Gas & Electric in talks about trimming, since power lines must be protected and much of Old Escondido’s lines are not grounded. “Sometime alternative methods are more appropriate,” Diaz said. Residents, meanwhile, questioned the city’s motives and complained the removal of the trees will hurt the neighborhood’s appeal. In addition, the trees also provide shade to many homes. During the tour, Diaz said the irony was not lost on city officials as at each stop, most of the people huddled in the shade. Diaz said Julia Procopio, assistant director of Public Works, conducted the tour and answered every question. In addition, Diaz said the tone of the meeting was calm and respectful, although residents were upset about the lack of notice. Some residents, though, questioned the claims of safety saying it was not an issue before the project began. “Now, we go back and explain what we should have explained in the first place,” Diaz said. “Some of these trees have been there longer than the homes and longer than some of us have been on the planet.”

Beer-themed hotel coming to Escondido By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — Stone Brewing is taking its beer to the next level. More accurately, the craft brewer announced in a press release a partnership with Untitled Hospitality to develop Stone Hotel. Expectations are for the hotel to open in the first quarter of 2018 and will be constructed, owned and managed by Untitled Hospitality. It will be located on 13 acres of land adjacent to Stone Brewing’s headquarters in Escondido. According to the brewer, an artistic display of beer flowing from a tap down to Citracado Parkway. In addition a gargoyle will be on display and Stone beers, obviously, will be readily available. Archived special release beers and unique casks will be periodically available at a trio of on-site bars. Upon check in, guest may receive a complimentary beer and an in-room growler delivery service. “You can’t rush a good thing,” said

co-founder Greg Koch. “After originally envisioning a hotel on the property more than six years ago, we had put the project on permanent hold due to our need to focus on our core obsession of brewing.” The hotel is estimated to cost $26 million with 100,000 square feet. Paul Basile of Basile Studio in San Diego will take charge of the interior design. In addition, the hotel will feature a barstyle lobby check-in, oversized guest rooms, 99 rooms and six suites. Other highlights include an 8,000 square-foot ballroom, 10,000 squarefoot rooftop garden adjacent to the pool deck and nearly an acre of outdoor event space. “When Robert (Cartwright) and Untitled Hospitality approached us with the idea of them taking the ball and running with it, we found a partner who was fully engaged in the idea of executing on the Stone ideals, ethos and creativity,” Koch added. “I can’t wait to give our fans this amazing extension of the Stone experience.”

ESCONDIDO — A 41-year-old woman was arrested this month on felony charges stemming from alleged fraud and theft of students at a beauty school. Tramy Van, owner of Tramy Beauty School, which has campuses in Escondido (641 N. Broadway) and San Diego, was booked into the Vista jail on $20,000. She is charged with felony grand theft and theft under false pretenses. Van’s arrest is the result of an investigation conducted by the Buearu of Private Postsecondary Education Bureau and Department of Consumer Affairs Division of Investigation. According to media reports, students said Van told them they could pay for a license without taking the required classes. “Students who paid out of pocket, she signed

them up for financial aid behind their back and then pocketing that financial aid as well,” said student Matt Mizel. Other students who have not finished their coursework were left wondering whether their classes could be applied at an-

other school. The school, though, does not have to close. “A lot of people are still confused because they don’t know if the school is going to close down,” Mizel added. According to consumer affairs, the U.S. Department of Education placed the school on Heightened Cash Monitoring 2, which meant the school could no longer receive federal tuition funds in advance and would have to seek reimbursement. In addition, the school was also on probation with its accreditor, the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences. Van holds a barber, cosmetologist, esthetician and manicurist license with the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Students who may have been harmed by Van may file a complaint by calling (916) 431-6959.

For example, if a batch has 1.5 milligrams of fentanyl per pill, about 666,666 pills can be manufactured from 1 kilogram. A 30-milligram oxycodone pill runs about $30 on the street. If the same math were applied to the fentanyl example, total sales would reach nearly $20 million.

ESCONDIDO — With the city and county water supply in tact, the City Council voted to lift some water restrictions during their meeting last week. Moving from a Response Level 2 to a Level 1, the approval removes the three-day per week, seven minute per station restriction. Those limitations were put in place in June 2015. Recent changes to state mandates allow for a flexible approach to conservation after Escondido and San Diego County showed sufficient supplies available for the coming years. “I think the state is relaxing the rules,” Mayor Sam Abed said. “I think it has really affected the quality of life in the neighborhoods.” Chris McKinney, public utilities director, said there are now no mandatory restrictions other than no watering between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. However, he still urged residents to water conservatively, while Abed stressed using best management practices. Escondido’s supply and carryover storage from San Diego County were acci-

dentally omitted from being reported to the State Water Resources Board earlier this year, McKinney said. Without those numbers, it appeared there was a 6 percent demand the city could not meet. McKinney said once those numbers were corrected, the city will hit a zero percent demand. “Like all other water agencies, our target will be zero,” he added. “That’s not going to saying we’re not trying to conserve water. We are not going to be mandated to reach further levels of conservation.” As part of the new state regulations, these standards require local water agencies to ensure a viable supply assuming three more dry years like the ones the state experienced from 2012 to 2015. Water agencies facing shortages under three additional dry years will be required to meet a conservation standard equal to the amount of shortage. For example, if a water agency projects it would have a 10 percent supply shortfall, their mandatory conservation standard would be 10 percent. “If the rest of the state of California had done what the San Diego Water

Authority had done in San Diego, we wouldn’t be having this discussion,” Councilman Ed Gallo said. “The north and south have been fighting over water for a couple hundred years.” Customers, however, are still encouraged to use water wisely. As a reminder, the following restrictions are enforced at all times regardless of the response level. Those include leaks and line breaks must be repaired as soon as they are discovered; eliminate excessive runoff from over watering; irrigate landscapes between the hours of 6 p.m. and 10 a.m.; fountains must re-circulate the water; washing any vehicle with a hose not having a water shut-off nozzle is prohibited; washing hardscape with a hose or other pressurized source is prohibited; watering or irrigating outdoor landscaping with potable water during rainfall or within 48 hours if rainfall is prohibited; hotel or motel must provide guests with the option not to have towels and/or linens laundered daily; and restaurants or other places where food is served will not serve drinking water to customers unless requested by the customer.

Hoping the bar is set higher in race for supervisor By Dennis Lees

A challenge to vaccination law By Sylvia Rogers

Mr. Elias spouts pro-vaccine dogma, literally pulling statistics out of a hat (“Vaccination law takes effect, but under challenge,” Aug. 19). As I write this, families are leaving the state because their children have been the denied the right to an education due to non-compliance with vaccine mandates. Not since the days of slavery have parents been denied the right to make major life decisions for their children. Mr. Elias cites a 95 percent vaccination rate as protective against disease based on absolutely nothing. There is not a shred of evidence that even 100 percent rates of vaccination are protective against disease. Case in point, college students in New England boast close to 100 percent vaccination rate. Yet some of them could not attend their own graduations last year due to a mumps outbreak! Those Ivy League geniuses assumed all the risks of the vaccination procedure, yet derived no benefit. An infectious disease specialist had this to say about the outbreak: “The exposure that they (students) have to mumps is so high in these situations (college) that it overcomes the ability of the vaccine to protect them.” Translation, “vaccines don’t work.” Why might that be? Vaccines produce antibodies, but not a complete immune response that would be triggered by live virus. Antibodies are not the primary means by which the body fights viral disease. The cellular response is far more effective. Furthermore, an abortive immune response may make it more difficult for the immune system to mount an effective response when challenged

with the natural virus. The herd theory applies to natural immunity, not the waning vaccine variety. About two thirds of a herd was theorized to need immunity in order to prevent the spread of disease. As for the contrived Disneyland measles outbreak, it has not been determined whether this was wild virus or the vaccine variety that caused the disease. The real reason for the hype over this small outbreak was that well-educated parents in affluent areas were refusing to follow the recommended vac-

lio vaccine. In India and other places where the live polio vaccine is still administered, the polio vaccine is now the major cause of childhood paralysis. Furthermore, the live polio vaccine contained a retrovirus, SV40, now present in the human genome and implicated in a host of cancers. It would seem that meddling with the balance of microbes in our environment has unexpected and dangerous consequences. Why did California push so hard for mandatory vaccination laws? California is a pilot for the nation. There are huge

Without legislation, the expansive vaccine schedule could not be rammed down their throats. cine schedule. Without legislation, the expansive vaccine schedule could not be rammed down their throats. There is no arguing with parents who are better educated on the very real risks of vaccines than their cook book pediatricians. Medical school teaches little more than the current recommended (and ever expanding) vaccine schedules. Has your physician informed you that after vaccination, viruses are shed for up to three months and that vaccine strains can cause disease? Perhaps we should pass another law that forces the recently vaccinated kids to stay under quarantine for three months to prevent the spread of disease? Why is it that healthy unvaccinated kids are excluded from school, but those who carry known infectious diseases like hepatitis are not? It is a sad fact that the major cause of polio in the 1950s and ‘60s was the po-

profits to be made in this industry with zero liability on the part of the manufacturers. Merck was recently slammed with $ 87 million in criminal penalties for their marketing of the dangerous drug Vioxx. Remember, this is the company you are trusting with your kids health. It’s like hiring a convicted sex offender as your babysitter. Imagine a car salesman with zero product liability. Would you buy from them? Exactly. Vaccine manufacturers have complete immunity from liability. If your child has a seizure and dies the next day, they won’t bat an eye. Neither will your pediatrician who is similarly insured. When in doubt, follow the money. I was paid nothing for writing this to educate you. If only Merck were a public service organization. Go see “Vaxxed” and see the corruption for yourself. Sylvia Rogers is a San Marcos resident.

How desperate are Republicans to regain the 3rd District supervisor’s seat on San Diego County Board of Supervisors? Very desperate! But the hand it has been dealt with Kristin Gaspar as its standard bearer is really pretty poor. Her performance as mayor of Encinitas has been decidedly undistinguished. The only issues she personally has initiated have gone pretty badly. She proposed to address homelessness by sending $100,000 of Encinitas-city funds to the Escondido-based Interfaith Community Services rather than contribute those funds to the Community Resource Center in her hometown to support the same type of program. Since she was running for supervisor against the mayor of Escondido at the time, could that have been a political move to sway voters in Escondido? The remainder of the City Council rejected that give-away. Gaspar’s other initiative was a measure renaming the library for the wife of a wealthy campaign donor. The “donation” was a pittance compared to

the amount of funds and sweat-equity the citizens had contributed but it would have contractually bound the naming “in perpetuity.” Instead of passing the offer to the staff for proper evaluation, she grandstanded by bringing it straight to the council without even the courtesy of asking the county how they felt about their library being renamed. There, she demonstrated lack of vision, creativity, and competence. The result was a unanimous, awkward public rejection of an offer from a generous community member. On several occasions, she has claimed undeserved credit for passage of important city issues for which others had fought for years but for which she had initially opposed or done nothing substantive. In primary debates, she displayed appalling ignorance regarding county issues as well as a general lack of knowledge on government procedures. So after she won the Republican nomination, the party recognized she needed help. They sent in gunslinger Revolvis’ Jason Roe, one of Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Person in the

World” candidates. Roe served as a senior advisor in Marco Rubio’s recent campaign, and was deputy manager for Romney in 2007. He has supported conservative candidates in third-world countries like Nigeria, Liberia, Bulgaria, and Iraq. Now he is managing another “third-world” candidate. Revolvis’ charges are already $117,000, using up more than half of Gaspar’s contributions. His advice: Safe, superficial performances rather than debate appearances, and big negative PAC-funded signs and mailers, even though multiple dates have been offered by the debate sponsors and the League of Women Voters. Is she unprepared and afraid to answer questions? Do her handlers fear her performance would do more harm than not appearing? That approach worked in Encinitas. Let’s hope the bar is set higher for supervisor. Please compare her empty record with Roberts’ full record and see who can really do the job. Dennis Lees is a Leucadia resident.

Letters to the Editor Paul Gaspar running for what? Anyone can run for Mayor of Encinitas, as long as they’ve been involved, ideally, as a prior council member, or worked in the community, or been involved in civic affairs somehow. If none of those things

have taken place, then that person has no business running. Imagine: some people actually have no creds, yet trade on their wife’s name recognition. What chutzpah! Encinitans mustn’t be fooled by proud Donald Trump followers Kristen and Paul

Gaspar.

Beckman gives update on health of trees in Ranch Presentation shows there’s a ‘visible problem’ in the Covenant By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE) is raising awareness regarding Rancho Santa Fe’s declining forestry. At an Aug. 4 Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting, Bill Beckman, the chairman of CONE and one of its original founders, provided a comprehensive presentation to the board and its members. Beckman explained that the reason for being at the meeting was to present the general health of the community’s current forest and future outlook. “We have a visible problem in the Covenant today and it’s especially evident in the Western and Central parts of the Covenant where you can see that our forest is clearly threatened and diminishing. It’s very, very evident,” he said. Twenty years from now, Beckman said people living in the Ranch are going to say one of two things: “They’re either going to say we could have and should have done something to save our forest, or they’re going to say thank goodness they did take action and made the effort to save our forest,” he said. Beckman pointed out that what the community does today will have a profound effect in the future. He went on to say that the two most significant issues at hand were removing the dead and dying trees in Rancho Santa Fe and then planting new trees which would thrive as they move into the next 50 years in order to maintain the overall beauty and health of the community’s forest. “The one thing that I

want to emphasize here is that the problem will not correct itself. It’s up to us,” Beckman said. “The problem will get worse if we don’t take action and make it better.” Beckman shared that the positive experience and unique appeal for residents and visitors is Rancho Santa Fe’s healthy forest. Another major impact of a healthy forest in the community, Beckman said, is the safety of the properties. “The threat of a major fire in our community is gravely increased if we have thousands of dead trees standing in the air. That’s not to say that the dead trees increase the probability of a fire, which they don’t, but if there is a fire, it’ll spread faster,” Beckman said. Beckman shared that there was also an environmental component to a healthy forest such as shade, reduction in water evaporation and more. Another level of importance mentioned was how a healthy forest affected property values. “Studies on a national basis showed that homes in an area with mature and healthy trees sell for 20 to 30 percent more than similar houses that do not have mature and healthy trees,” he said. Beckman wanted members to know that the average sale price for a home in the Covenant last year was around 2.5 million. Without a healthy forest, he said, the average sale price would be a $500,000 to $750,000 less. What’s negatively impacted the trees in the western and central portions of the Covenant have been Red Gum lerp psyllid on the Red Gum Eucalyptus trees. Another factor has been the prolonged drought, he said. And the drought is predicted to continue. Beckman shared that TURN TO EUCALYPTUS ON 15

ENCINITAS — As the reward for information on the driver who struck an avid cyclist in Encinitas this month grows, friends of the cyclist said they are trying to take valuable lessons away from the tragedy — for both motorists and non-motorists. A driver of a white sports utility vehicle struck cyclist John Abate in the early morning hours of Aug. 14, when he and a friend were cycling on Leucadia Boulevard near Quail Gardens Drive. Abate was thrown 25 to 30 feet and suffered major injuries — a compound leg fracture, a broken back and fractured ribs among other serious lacerations. Abate, who will be coming home from the hospital this week after nearly a week in the intensive care unit in Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, did not

wish to speak to The Coast News, instead wanting to focus on his recovery. But friends of the Category 1 cyclist said that they are focused on finding the

driver and the lessons that can be gleaned from the incident. Jessica Noyola started the reward for information that leads to law enforce-

ment locating the driver. The GoFundMe page, which started with a goal of $2,500 for the reward, has raised nearly $6,000 to date. “We really feel that the feel that there is someone out there who knows or saw something, and we are trying to get the word out to the community,” Noyola said. “People are definitely seeing the signs we have posted in the community and word of mouth is spreading across the state.” She urged the driver of vehicle to turn himself or herself in to authorities. “Wherever they are, I know that their lives are on pause, too,” Noyola said. “I hope and pray they can do the right thing.” Noyola and Kelly Swamberg, the cyclist who was at Abate’s side at the time of the accident, said TURN TO REWARD ON 15

Craft beer hotel in North County? Cheers! Northbound vince vasquez

E

arlier this month, Stone Brewing announced plans to partner with a local developer and hospitality company to build a 99room boutique hotel in Escondido. What promises to be a unique “craft beer experience” gives North County an opportunity to support an emerging tourism sector. Hops heads around the country are surely rejoicing at the news. According to the official company release, the $26 million, four-story hotel will be built on 13 acres across the street from the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens location. Special amenities include oversized guest rooms, walking trails, priority seating at the brewery, and beer brewed exclusively for hotel guests. Construction could begin as early as next year, with doors opening in 2018. Kudos to Stone. I’ve visited all of their tasting rooms in San Diego County over the years (including the ones in PETCO Park and Lindbergh Field), and they clearly hold a high standard for service, sustainability and brewing excellence. Most notably, their hotel is another sign that craft beer tourism is an emerging market, which our part of the region can cultivate and support as part of a broader economic development initiative. Beer tourism is real. In 2013, I had the pleasure of visiting the fabled Guinness Storehouse in Dublin,

Ireland. I witnessed beer tourism first hand; thousands of visitors from all over the world, spending time and money to learn more about local beer and the history of the people and community that brew it. While I’m well versed in the brewing process, I still had fun learning how to pour the perfect pint at

the Guinness Academy. It’s no surprise the Guinness brewery is in fact the most popular tourist attraction in all of Ireland — more than 1.25 million people visit each year. Locally, we don’t have much data on how many out-of-towners visit our local breweries, but a 2012 survey of North Carolina breweries and brewpubs

found about 40 percent of patrons were tourists, of which about a quarter were “beer-focused” (others were visiting principally to see friends and loved ones, or to attend conferences and other events). North County is probably experiencing something similar, with mostly TURN TO NORTHBOUND ON 15

VISTA — Vista High School has kicked off the new school year with the dedication of the school’s new $3.7 million rebuilt Dick Haines Stadium (named for the legendary former football coach). The dedication day included a student assembly, a flyover from the Civil Air Patrol, and a ceremony honoring past Vista High School football players and coaches from the past five decades. The celebration closed that evening with a football game seeing the Vista High School Panthers take on North County rivals San Marcos High School. “This day of celebration allows us to honor our past as well as celebrate our future, and to do that as a Vista High community that spans decades,” said Vista High Principal Anthony Barela. “We’re proud to have the opportunity for our current and future

VHS community to honor and learn about many of the people who have created a fantastic athletic program at the school. We also see this new facility as a catalyst to inspire the future possibilities and accomplishments of our program.” The two-year rebuild on the stadium made myriad upgrades, providing a state of the art facility that offers a new track surface for use by PE and athletic teams, a new ticket booth, snack bar, rest rooms and storage on both sides of the stadium for use by home and visiting teams. The facility has an open plaza on the visitor’s side as well as new lighting, and easy, open accessibility for all. The dedication of Dick Haines stadium comes almost exactly 20 years since the stadium had its last upgrade, in 1996. In that time Vista High School has won six Football CIF championships, three Field Hockey League championships, two Boys Soccer CIF championships, two Girls Track League championships, three Boys Track League championships. “We’re thrilled to dedicate this new facility,” Barela added. “It will no doubt help to propel us into a future of great things for the school and the community, honoring and building on the legacy of a school that continues to pursue excellence in myriad ways.”

entlemen, stop your motors. Take a walk on the beach, read a newspaper or at least go down to the coffee shop and spend an hour or two relaxing. Perhaps I have become more aware of one particular societal faux pas, because my husband is the biggest offender. It seems to me that the world is now filled with screaming band saws and general construction noise. First we got to listen to three consecutive neighbors have new roofs put on. The hammering, hammering, hammering all day long was annoying, but one does need to keep one’s roof in repair. But the minute the world warmed up enough to open windows, some signal, unheard by most women, seemed to sound. It was apparently telling anyone with enough testosterone to drag out every electric tool they owned and fire them up. My ears are still ringing. It’s clear that the sound

I loathe most, even above and beyond leaf blowers, is the electric saw. But that is not the main issue. It’s summertime and some people can actually take time off. Besides, we live in a vacation town. Sleeping in and napping are among the top reasons people go on vacation. I submit I shouldn’t have to head for a Ritz-Carlton to enjoy some peace and quiet. Once retired, my spouse thought nothing of firing up the saw at 8 a.m. That is just wrong — 9 a.m. is equally wrong —10 a.m. is the earliest this becomes semi-acceptable. And then, please desist between 3 p.m. and forever, because people are outside barbecuing, trying to enjoy a pleasant summer evening. The screeching whine of a saw or a sander hitting wood is better than flashing red lights to kill a party mood, weekday or weekend. You say the weekend is the only time said hobbyist has time to work on the project du jour? Well, please consider taking it in into the garage or perhaps rent a workshop.

Hair restoration: A better, more artistic, less invasive method OCEANSIDE — Hair transplants have come a long way in the last seven or so years. What was once only available as a moderately invasive procedure, which would leave a long linear scar, is now also offered in a vastly improved way. “We offer a relatively new procedure called the FUE hair transplant, and among its notable benefits are that it is minimally invasive and there is no scar,” Dan Wagner, CEO of MyHairTransplantMD said. The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure is not as widely available as the traditional Follicular Unit Grafting method, and Wagner is proud to be able to offer it to North County clients. “While both methods produce natural looking results, with FUE, our team in particular has a more artistic approach than some of the other offices that might offer it,” Wagner said. While the FUE procedure can be done via robot or computer, it can also be performed by highly skilled surgeons, which is the difference between MyHairTransplantMD and its compet-

itors. “The human eye can see things that a computer or robot can’t,” Wagner said. “We do the artistic side of the procedure. We found that advanced technology is amazing, but in the wrong hands it yields bad results. What we do is more effective from a results perspective.” The first step in the FUE technique is to remove follicles from the donor area. The hairs are extracted in their naturally occurring one-, two-, three- and four-hair follicle units from areas of the scalp that are resistant

tion. “These grafts are then meticulously placed at the correct angle, direction and pattern of your original hair,” Wagner said. “This allows enough blood to nourish every hair during the brief five- to seven-day healing process. Then the donor area is dressed with an antibiotic ointment. There are no sutures, and no bandages.” Although because of the intense skill and labor involved FUE is nearly twice the cost of FUG — $7 to $9 per graft range vs. $3 to $5 — there are a number

to balding. They are then transplanted into tiny incisions in the balding areas. “This is essentially the ‘one hair at a time’ method,” Wagner said. “The hairs are extracted the same way they grow, in naturally occurring clusters.” This is in contrast to FUG, in which donor harvesting is extracted from a strip. The FUG, as a result, has a longer 14- to 30-day recovery time. The extracted hairs are then examined to assess their integrity and suitability for transplanta-

of reasons why so many clients find it’s worth it. “Not only will there be no linear scar, no sutures and no post-op pain, we are also not limited by the size of the case,” Wagner said. “In fact large cases are our specialty. We are only limited by low donor density and whether there are prior hair transplant scars.” Another advantage to FUE is that the recovery is much quicker. Additionally, it’s ideal for clients who prefer to wear their hair short and would feel prohibited by having a large linear scar. “The tiny circular marks where the donor hairs have been extracted are usually undetectable,” Wagner said. If you have been considering hair restoration and want to learn more, visit myhairtransplantmd.com or call (800) 262-2017 for clear procedure pricing, more testimonials, and a complete comparison between FUE and FUG methods of hair transplantation. The office is located at 2103 S. El Camino Real, Suite 201 in Oceanside.

ny day of the week, any month of the year is the time to celebrate the greatness of California wines. But the table is set and the glass is full for California to shine in September so let’s toast the world’s most coveted wine country producing 120 grape varietals, more than any country in the world. Napa Valley, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Barbara, Temecula and yes, San Diego County, all produce more than 90 percent of all the wine in the U.S. — some 3,500 wine producers dot the state. Spanish missionaries began planting in the 1700s. The first commercial wineries started in Los Angeles in the 1830s, and then later in the century in Napa Valley and Sonoma. Wine is California’s bountiful reward for its perfectly crafted land and climate. San Diego’s premier restaurant group, Cohn Restaurants, is celebrat-

The force is strong with lightsaber groups around county By Tony Cagala

ESCONDIDO — The force has awakened throughout the county, and strong it is. With the return of the “Star Wars” saga to theaters recently, fans are bringing the stories from a galaxy far, far away closer and closer to home. On a Friday evening in Escondido’s Kit Carson Park, Genevieve Edge was walking her class through a series of moves that looked as though they were performing a martial arts routine — but except for one thing: They all had lightsabers — well, actually not this time. Usually they train with lightsaber weapons, Edge explained, but this time they were using PVC pipes about 5-feet long and wrapped half way

with black tape. On the nights they do use the sabers, though, which light up and make sounds as close as possible to the ones made famous in the films, the group tends to get a lot of attention. Edge, an Escondido resident, said she’s been seeing a huge influx of people becoming interested in lightsabers, something she credits to the new “Star Wars” movies coming out, beginning with last year’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” It was the first film out of the franchise since 1999. Edge is the founder of the Escondido chapter of the Lightsaber Team. The class ranges in size from three to four lightsaTURN TO LIGHTSABERS ON 12

ber enthusiasts, but having formed just a few months ago, they’re hoping membership starts to grow. The Lightsaber Team began back in Riverside five years ago with its founder John-Michael Arias wanting to combine a “work-out, socialization and a more healthy ‘nerd’ activity alternative to video games,” Arias said in an email. There are five official Lightsaber Teams around

the state, including Inland Empire, Silicon Valley, Santa Rosa, Sacramento and Escondido. Arias said they’re looking to start teams in Santa Cruz and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “Lightsaber Team is not for everyone,” Edge said. Based primarily in fitness, Edge explained, they don’t train members for combat as some groups and clubs do. “We don’t do sparring. We don’t do full combat,” said Edge. “Everything we do is choreography.”

AUG. 26, 2016 For sparring and full lightsaber combat, that’s where Nick Murico comes in. Last year, Murico, a “huge Star Wars fan,” began hosting the Underground Lightsaber Fighters (ULF). The ULF got its start, he explained, piggybacking off of a one-time lightsaber gathering for fans meant as a promotional event coinciding with the release of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” last December. “I invited some people to come keep playing with lightsabers and it just exploded,” Murico said. “And now there are a couple hundred of us.” The meet up is monthly and takes place in a portion of Balboa Park. The ULF is family-friendly, he said, and its meet ups are often attended by coplayers and people of all ages. And while some are there to see hundreds of fellow lightsaber enthusiasts gather, others take it more seriously. Case in point: the ULF has its own top nine “best combat tested fighters,” all of whom come from martial arts backgrounds, Murico explained.

“All of those top nine fighters they have some kind of background,” Murico said. “Some of them are former fencers, and their martial arts all meet with their fandom of ‘Star Wars,’” he said Though not one of the top nine, Murico, 28, is a former fencer — something he picked up 10 years ago while at college. Other things he lists to his background: archery, cage fighting, firearm instructor and instructor at the Lionheart Academy in El Cajon. Murico, who works as a security professional as his main line of work, was featured in a channel 10News report, credited with preventing a 46-yearold woman from being sexually assaulted back in February 2012. Still, Murico is very surprised by how much the event has taken off and seemingly grown overnight. “I thought I was going to make five or six new friends who liked lightsabers,” Murico said. “And then there was 200 people who attended the first event and confirmed going (on the Facebook page) within a week.” Murico does take part in the lightsaber battles, too. “It doesn’t matter what color lightsaber you have, it’s like, ‘Hey, you want to fight?’ And then they go at it,” Murico said. Most do wear safety equipment, especially those that take it seriously. Murico said most that do, wear fencing masks and lacrosse gloves apart from other armor they might have. Their group isn’t affiliated with Lucasfilm Ltd. Back in Escondido, the big news the Lightsaber Team recently received was that they are now officially recognized by Lucasfilms Ltd. That means they have to follow strict guidelines such as no training young Padawans (those under the age of 18). But they now have access to a library of Jedi styles from the Lucasfilm Ltd., archives from which to learn new choreographies, and they can officially use the lexicon of terms from the “Star Wars” universe. One caveat though, they can’t use the “Star Wars” brand to make money off of it. Edge said that they’re not looking to make money. “Our end goal is to basically do choreographies and present them to people. But we want choreographies that are done with sabers that are different — the ones that you don’t see very much.” The Lightsaber Team, Escondido meets at Kit Carson Park on Fridays from 6 to 8 p.m. Information can be found on their Facebook page. The next Underground Lightsaber Fighters meet up takes place Aug. 24 at 8 p.m. in Balboa Park. More information is available online at ulfsandiego.com.

Carlsbad Classic leaves town, heads to Hawaii By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Quietly the city has lost its only professional tennis tournament. The Carlsbad Classic, for the second time, has uprooted and has moved off the mainland. According to media reports, the tournament will become the Hawaii Open and will be played the week of Thanksgiving; the same week the Carlsbad tournament took place last year. This year the Hawaii Open will take place on the island of Oahu, Hawaiian media reported in June. A message left with a spokesperson for the former Carlsbad tournament was not returned. The event is a Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) 125K tournament and fea-

tured nearly three-dozen players last year, including Carlsbad teen standout Brett Berger and was won by Yanina Wickmayer. According to reports, the Hawaii Open’s structure will remain as it was last year in Carlsbad. There will be a 32-player singles draw, an eight-player qualifying and an eightteam doubles draw. As for the local event, tournament Director Ben Goldsmith said last year his goal for the tournament was to become one of the top draws on the circuit and, eventually, lead into the Indian Wells event. He said the Indian Wells tournament is the largest in the world “by volume” and with an aggressive approach; the Carlsbad Classic would be an ideal warm-up tournament for

the WTA’s top talent going into Indian Wells. Last season’s event was the first in two years for Carlsbad after the WTA left for Japan. The Carlsbad Classic brought a mixed bag of ranked players, although one of the main attractions came from a budding California teenager. CiCi Bellis, who captured national headlines three years ago with a first-round upset over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, at the 2014 U.S. Open, was part of the 32-player singles draw. The San Francisco native and Southern California resident, just 17, has been climbing the ranks and is one player local fans were drawn to, according to Goldsmith.

juggler, too? Cahill, the former Vista High star, was in the Cubs clubhouse this week doing just that. Quite well. Cahill was keeping in touch, via phone, with his 6-month-old Rylee. When it’s your first kid, those that have been there understand the tugging of the heartstrings. At the same time his cell was buzzing — his old Vista crew tugging at him for some tickets. Welcome home Trevor and it’s nice to see you with a winner. “It’s so different this year,’’ Cahill said. “I’m not with a spoiler.’’ Nope, it’s with the rip-roaring Cubs. The North Side has become the Fun Side this summer, with the Cubs leading the Majors in wins and glorious thoughts of the Fall Classic. Cahill (3-3, 2.66 ERA) is constantly reminded of Chi-

cago’s thirsting for that elusive World Series trip. “No matter where we go there are Cubs fans,’’ Cahill said. “It’s like we are never on the road.’’ That was true at Petco Park, where the Cubs Nation set up camp with the fever of Dead Heads. What a long, strange trip it’s been for Cahill since playing for Vista’s In his eight major-league seasons he has stops in Oakland (2009-11), Arizona (2012-14), Atlanta (2015) and finally to the Cubs last year. “It’s really fun,’’ Cahill said, and there goes his phone again. “I don’t want to say we were counting down the season at the other places this time of the year, but it is a good vibe here.” Everything is usually groovy in manager Joe Maddon’s world. The Cubs’ innovative manager said Cahill is unique. “His ball moves so much,’’ Maddon said. “And he has different weapons for righties and lefties.’’ But his sinker wasn’t getting much bite earlier in the year. So Cahill went to Triple-A, where he produced instead of pouting. That punched his ticket back to Chicago’s 1060 W. Addison, where the outfield walls are covered with ivy. “It’s been a weird year,’’

Oceanside’s outrigger races set to see record number of competitors this weekend By Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — A record number of teams will compete in the 18th annual PaoPao 9-Man Outrigger Races that launch from Oceanside Harbor Aug. 27. Paddlers face the challenges of competitors, waves and weather conditions as they race to the Oceanside Pier and back. Nine-man teams begin with six paddlers in the outrigger. Three alternates ride in a motorized chase boat and strategically switch off with teammates during the race while the outrigger is moving. This year there will be a good representation of outrigger canoe clubs from California, and beyond. Regular participation is seen from San Diego, Newport Beach, Redondo Beach, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Oceanside’s friendly rival Dana Point. “We have clubs from as far north as the San Francisco Bay area, and as far

away as Phoenix,” Karl Higgins, Oceanside Outrigger Canoe Club chase boat coordinator, said. Among the 800 paddlers competing are keiki kids, teens, adults, seniors over age 50, and golden masters (affectionately nicknamed “golden hamsters”) age 60 and older. Skill levels vary from novice to expert in all divisions. Men’s teams paddle 22 miles, and women’s and coed teams paddle 20 miles. The sport allows everyone to compete, and has become popular with female athletes. “Interestingly more women are paddling and racing than men,” Higgins said. Race days are filled with “ohana” family and tradition. The Oceanside Outrigger Canoe Club sets up a hospitality tent, serves lunch and holds a gift basket raffle to help cover race costs.

Another tradition is to give a formal thank you to volunteer chase boat captains prior to the first race. “They are presented with a goody bag containing sweets, lunch, water, snacks and a nice check for their anticipated expenses helping us all day,” Higgins said. The races are a Southern California Outrigger Racing Association (SCORA) event. Eleven SCORA races are held from May to September along the Southern California coastline. Oceanside Outrigger Canoe Club was founded in 2007 as a merger of the Makana Ke Kai Outrigger Canoe Club and PaoPao Outrigger Association. The annual Oceanside race continues to carry the PaoPao name. First boats launch at 8 a.m., women’s races start at 8:30 a.m., men’s races begin at 12:30 p.m., and an awards ceremony will be held at 3:30 p.m.

said Cahill, who’s morphed into a reliever and has held rivals scoreless in 25 of his 35 appearances. Maddon asked Cahill to start on Aug. 16 and he blanked the Brewers for five innings. This after spending time on the disabled list with a bum knee. “I had to eat up some innings,’’ Cahill, 28, said of working the first game of a day-night doubleheader. “I was happy to get five innings and save the bullpen a little bit for us.’’ Madden promised there’s more in the Oceanside native’s lively arm. “He is still a young man,’’ Maddon said. “If he just really focuses on knowing where that fastball is going he could pitch for many more years at a very high level because his ball moves that much.’’ Now Cahill is on the go. He says so long to his family and looks forward to saying hello to his pals. “That was why playing at Vista was so fun,’’ he said. “Most of the guys on the team were guys I knew since kindergarten.’’ Cahill will learn that young Rylee will be there soon enough.

paign, Ellison and Robin Fox are also spearheading efforts for the annual Grape Day Discovery Festival from 2 to 8 p.m. Oct. 1 at the park. The center also hosts Movies in the Park during the summer, puts on a car show in May, and conducts adobe home, school and group tours. Another project, meanwhile, is digitizing the center’s about 10,000 photos, although only about 1,500 have been converted, Ellison said. “We’re trying, there’s only two employees here,” she added. “We have a long way to go.” One of Ellison’s primary goals, however, is to increase her volunteer force and membership. She said high school

students from High Tech High in San Marcos have assisted with the photo project, while her membership goals are targeting people between 30 to 40. The difficulty, Ellison said, is the demographic has plenty on their plate with families and shuttling their kids from one activity to another. However, she said adding more people between that age range would also build a long-term foundation for the center. “We just don’t exist to store the past, we’re also here to interpret it,” Ellison said. On the grounds, meanwhile, the center has several buildings detailing the history of the city.

The Victorian Country home was built in 1890, while Penner Barn was constructed in 1901 featuring the agricultural roots of the city. The barn, however, is not part of the tour, but is accessible during open house events. The center wouldn’t be complete without the Bandy Blacksmith Shop, a reproduction of the 1908 building on N. Kalmia Street. The Santa Fe Depot is one of the oldest buildings in the city and was the hub of the community, linking Escondido to Oceanside at the turn of the century in 1900. It recently was the recipient of about $175,000 worth of upgrades from the city’s Capital Improvement Program.

is a rapid decline.” Translarna has been approved for conditional use in Europe, he added, but it has stalled through the approval process in the U.S. He said the drug is a “game changer” and would slow the muscle loss and reduce the affects of the disease. The Morrows have scoured the country for the best doctors and hospitals to treat Ryan. At first, they saw doctors in San Diego, but discovered one of the top facilities in the country at the University of California, Davis, about 500 miles north near Sacramento. Last year, UCLA opened a facility, which the Morrows now visit and reduces the stress of days away from home for Ryan. “People really want to help,” Todd Morrow said.

“We are just looking for the best care for Ryan. I can’t even explain the day you find out, you find out it’s a fatal disease and you can’t get to the option. It’s the most important thing to you.” DMD is a genetic disease causing muscle weakness and strips patients of their ability to walk, move their arms and other motor functions. The disease is caused by nonsense mutation passed through the X chromosome from the female to the male. Since the male only has one X chromosome, the end result is fatal. There is a clinical trial, but Ryan is ineligible. In February, the Federal Drug Administration refused to review clinical data for the drug, while PTC Therapeutics announced it would appeal the decision.

“The drug had in trail quite awhile (11 years),” Morrow said. “It was in Phase 3. It’s safe, effective, but they were confirming it.” Despite Ryan’s prognosis, he began kindergarten this week and said he was excited to start school. His parents, meanwhile, said the school has been great with its assistance and acceptance to learn about their son’s condition. Ryan, though, does ask his parents why he struggles to keep pace with his friends when they play or run. Todd and Angie Morrow, though, are honest with him. Although Ryan Morrow is only 6, he hasn’t fully grasped his condition, but his parents said they will always be honest with their son about his disease.

Many addicts start with oxycodone, but transition to heroin or fentanyl because those two are much cheaper, Roderick added. As for Roberts, the supervisor said his participation as a delegate is where he first learned of the dangers of the drug both to users and law enforcement. “When I had talked to our legislative department at the county, it was part of the county’s legislative package,” he said. “I submitted a legislative proposal saying ‘could we add this to throw the county’s weight behind this legislation?’” Currently, the drug is classified as a Schedule II narcotic and the possession for sale or purchase for sale can result in a two- to fouryear prison sentence. The new bill, however, would have increased prison sentences dramatically. Based on weight, a person convicted of possessing or selling the drug could serve between three and 25 years in prison. Conspiracy enhancements would add up to three to 15 years in prison. Fines, meanwhile, would reach a maximum between $1 million and $8 million, depending on the charge. According to the SD County Medical Examiner’s Office, 28 fentanyl-related deaths were attributed to the drug in 2015 compared to 16 in 2014. As of Aug. 11, 13 confirmed fentanyl deaths were reported by the agency. “I think a lot of times people are dealing in the substance and not knowing what it is,” Roberts said.

id family recipes and a fridge stocked with Mexican Coca-Cola.” That’s somewhat accurate I guess, except it felt more like a clean, franchise replica of a taqueria, and not sure what the allure of Mexican Coke is — as it can be found in just about every restaurant and convenience store in San Diego. I’m also thinking there are a dozen, if not more taco shops, in North County that look and feel more like an “authentic” Tijuana taqueria but will never play to the masses or expand beyond their neighborhood. But hey, I get it and the Taco Stand has tapped into a mass appeal — so more power to them. I’ll get off my high horse now and really, I am much more sensitive to this stuff than the general public. And what really matters when it comes down to it is the food and we had a very satisfying meal at Taco Stand. The high school kid cranking out fresh corn tortillas was a nice touch, though they did not seem to know where the flour tortillas came from. Either way, they were both solid foundations for a nice variety of tacos and burritos. The taco Al Pastor seems to be their signature taco with the large visible rotisserie marinated pork slowly rotating and sliced

more money for local goods and services, which in turn generates jobs, sales tax revenue, and greater economic growth. Supporting the development of more high-quality visitor amenities in North County is good for the local economy. The 250-room LEGOLAND hotel in Carlsbad is complementary to the visitor experience at LEGOLAND, generates hotel tax revenue, and helps

keep more tourism dollars in North County. So too will the Stone Hotel once it’s built and open to the public. Already, approximately half a million people visit Stone’s Escondido-based brewery and restaurant each year. More are headed their way.

to order. It was a good one for sure. Also tried the Camaron taco that had spicy grilled shrimp, cheese, avocado, cabbage, tomato and chipotle sauce. The Baja taco was a decent battered fish option though it could have used a bit more crunch. Next trip I’m looking forward to trying the Nopal taco that has flamed grilled cactus, melted cheese, cilantro sauce, tomato and avocado with beans available. I’ve never had cactus and am curious to try it. In a move reminiscent of PF Chang’s or In-N-Out, they offer any taco protein style served on lettuce instead of a tortilla. As somewhat of a taco purist I find that a bit appalling but they are playing to their Southern California health conscious crowd perfectly with that move. Burritos were part of our sampling and we had to give the California a shot. It has all the required ingredients including flamegrilled beef though in their case it’s certified Angus, cheese, fries, guacamole, tomato salsa and sour cream. We both devoured our halves in a couple bites so a thumbs up on the Cali burrito for sure. The Pescado burrito with grilled Mahi-Mahi, cabbage, cilantro, onions, tomato, avocado and chipotle sauce was a delight as well. Most all of the tacos come in burrito form though I did not see a protein style burrito...and

I am perfectly fine with that, might be a bit of a mess anyway. The chips and guacamole with fresh made chips were on the nice crunchy side, but the really fun one was the grilled corn on the cob coated in mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and chili powder. Loved that option and could have eaten a couple of those. A range of sides is available including Carne Asada fries, Mar Y Tierra fries translated means surf and turf fries with shrimp and steak, that’s another I will have to come back and try. Hot fresh churros and paletas are the dessert options and a full line of breakfast burritos. The Taco Stand is a solid option with good food in a town overflowing with Mexican options. In fact, another Mexican restaurant opened right across the street in the space formerly occupied by my beloved Ogata. Change is happening in Encinitas and this is just part of it.

they didn’t want the focus to be on the tragedy, nor did they want to make this a cyclist-versus-motorist debate. Swamberg said that he feels the incident underscores the shared responsibility for all modes of transportation that share roads — pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. For his part, Swamberg said the biggest takeaway is for him as a cyclist to be visible on the roadway. “People are more distracted behind the wheel than ever, and that is not going to decrease anytime soon,” Swamberg said. “What I can do on my end is make sure that I am extremely visible when I am on the road. It is not the coolest factor, and it can be a little obnoxious, but we need to be seen.” Swamberg said that all people can do their part

to be accountable.” Swamberg also credited Abate’s wearing of a helmet as potentially lifesaving. While some in the community have taken the incident as a call for the city to continue to improve bike and pedestrian lanes

in the roadway, Noyola said that it might not have made a difference in this case, because Abate and Swamberg were riding on one of the widest bike lanes in the city. “I am not sure the city has the resources to make completely separate bike paths across the city,” she said. “But we need to continue raise awareness about distracted driving.” Noyola said she believes that drivers should be required to put away their mobile devices entirely, including handsfree devices, which she said could still be a distraction. Ultimately, both agreed that the key word to take away from the tragedy is awareness. “My friend is going to live,” Swamberg said. “And he is some day going to be back on a bike. But I think if we can just take away from this is the fact that all of us have to be aware and accountable.”

the health of our forest,” Beckman said. “It’s been estimated that at this point to have a strategic plan would cost between $25,000 and $40,000 which is a pretty good price actually, but we’re going to be very, very involved in this strategic plan as well.” Beckman told the RSFA board that he hoped they would commit funds to the strategic plan. He also mentioned how the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation has committed to fund a portion of the strategic plan in an effort to reforest the Ranch, as well. In addition to creating a strategic plan, Beckman also noted the

importance of community education events, model tree planting events, and tree steward programs. These events offer community building opportunities, he said, and bring people together for something enjoyable. Beckman explained that how being beneficiaries of tree planters of past generations in the Ranch should encourage current members in ensuring that future generations are afforded with the same forest ambience. And that’s by way of planting the right trees in the Ranch. “It’s us. It’s now. Everybody in our community benefits and everyone wins,” Beckman said.
