Reptiles, amphibians and arthropods, oh my! By Steve Puterski
We want to show them that there is so much more to these animals.”
ESCONDIDO — They bite, constrict and slither all around, yet the reptilian contingent at the Escondido EcoVivarium provides hundreds of smiles, laughs and perhaps, a few screeches. Nevertheless, children will flock to the nonprofit to learn about reptiles, amphibians and arthropods. Susan Nowicke, executive director Susan Nowicke of EcoVivarium, said the nonprofit’s Executive Director, EcoVivarium much anticipated living museum will open July 15. A celebration event from doors open,” Nowicke said. “Visitors 4:30 to 8 p.m. is planned. “It’s the culmination of the past get hands-on experience with the repseven years of work to finally get the tiles, amphibians and bugs.”
The center gas dozens of species with one of the foremost collections in the world, Nowicke said. EcoVivarium rivals some of the best zoos in the world, she added. However, 98 percent of the animals are rescued, rehabilitated and trained by the staff to educate children and adults alike. The educational opportunities, though, is the driving force behind EcoVivarium, Nowicke added. The animals provide lessons in history, science, religion, culture, art and other aspects of TURN TO REPTILES ON 14
Council introduces tobacco license ordinance Proposed ordinance would require businesses to obtain permit, take part in annual compliance checks By Aaron Burgin
SAN MARCOS — San Marcos officials advanced an ordinance that would create a new license for tobacco retailers that would require them to have annual compliance checks with the Sheriff’s Department and ban them from selling drug paraphernalia. The San Marcos City Council voted 4-0 in favor of introducing the ordinance at the July 12 council meeting. Councilman Chris Orlando was absent. Nearly a dozen anti-tobacco and youth drug prevention advocates in the gallery applauded the council’s vote, which will require the city’s tobacco and e-cigarette selling establishments to obtain a permit before Jan. 1. Supporters of the ordinance said it would curb the proliferation of e-cigarette use among minors,
which has exploded in recent years. “Preventing youth from drug use is an important, life-saving work,” said K.C. Strang, co-founder of the San Marcos Prevention Coalition. “This is great public policy, one that supports all of our collective goals as parents.” San Marcos follows in the footsteps of Vista, El Cajon and other cities statewide that have adopted such license requirements, which provide incentives for business that follow the rules and harsh penalties for scofflaw businesses. Tobacco businesses already have to get a license from the state to operate, but the $100 fee doesn’t cover the cost of the compliance check, which has prompted cities to adopt supplemental licenses such as the one San Marcos is considering. According to the staff report, San Marcos’ proposed program mirrors Vista’s, which has been successful in increasing compliance among that city’s tobacco-selling establish-
ments. City officials said that the compliance checks are what make Vista’s program more successful in curbing sales to minors than other cities. The penalties for failing the inspections — which could temporarily or permanently ban a store from selling such products — have been a major deterrent, as tobacco sales account for nearly one-third of most convenience stores’ revenue. San Marcos has 60 businesses that sell tobacco and e-Cigarette products. The proposed ordinance would require them to obtain a permit that costs $189.52, which city officials said would cover the costs to administer and perform compliance checks. In the second year of the program, establishments can get reductions based on a clean compliance check and other anti-tobacco measures, such as a magnetic stripe reader to verify the age of buyers, regular staff training and no tobacco advertising. All told, stores can cut
the cost of the license by $60. Conversely, violations found in the annual compliance review can result in punishments ranging from warnings to suspension and ultimately revocation of the license. The first violation with a three-year period results in a warning and a requirement to train employees within 60 days. The second violation results in an up-to 30-day suspension; a third violation would result in a 90day suspension; a fourth violation would result in a yearlong suspension, and a fifth suspension could result in revocation. Violators can appeal the rulings to an independent hearing officer, according to the ordinance. The City Council heard from several speakers, all of who were in favor of the ordinance, including two Mission Hills High School seniors who are part of a group that advocates for limiting youth access to toTURN TO TOBACCO ON 14
REGION — A shakeup atop the San Diego North Economic Development Council (SDNEDC) has led to a new era in the organization. Carl S. Morgan announced his resignation as CEO in June. His final day in the position was on July 8. He cited family reasons for his departure. Chairman of the Board of Directors Brian Lee, though, is overseeing the transition as the organization aims to find “the right person” to lead the SDNEDC. Lee, who works for Wells Fargo, said no deadline has been established to hire Morgan’s successor and stressed the nonprofit’s goal of finding the right candidate to take over. “The mission is still the same, promoting the economic vitality of North County” Lee said. “But definitely in a transition period looking for a CEO to lead two organizations. We set up a search committee and we’re moving forward. The main goal is to make sure we get the right person.” He added the new CEO must lead two arms of the SDNEDC — the 501(c)(3) and (c)(6). The differences between the two entities are specific to tax purposes, but the core mission of the SDNEDC remains. The 501(c)(3) is a recent addition to the SDNEDC because it allows for corporate foundations to donate. “I know it is very technical about what funds go in and stay in the (c)(3) or (c)(6) and are not commingled,” Lee added. “Typically the work that is done needs to be defined and separated. We are still going through that because the (c)(3) is still new.” The focus of the organization, Lee said, is to promote North County’s economic viability, build its sustainability as well expansion for its current membership. The SDNEDC, meanwhile, acts as a bridge between government and businesses, increase employment, expand and relocate businesses, to name a few aspects, to North County.
“Bridge that gap between what they (businesses) are looking for and local government officials make sure their plans come true,” Lee said. “What you are doing is increasing the economic vitality.” Lee said the organization also recruits members, or otherwise known as investors, to the group to engage in regional and nationwide trends. Also,
The mission is still the same, promoting the economic vitality of North County.” Brian Lee Chairman, SDNEDC
the SDNEDC hosts an economic summit each year where speakers discuss economic situations from a global, national, statewide and local perspectives. Along with the summit, the SDNEDC also organizes symposiums and monthly meetings with speakers. Lee said North County’s economic status is strong and growing and with it, the SDNEDC looks to build on the foundation and foster those businesses. Lee said one of the priorities of the nonprofit is to find and generate more affordable housing near transit centers. “That’s the future of North County as we look into the future,” he added. “How can we have the smart growth … people need to have affordable housing and live near transit centers to move around.” The regions largest industry clusters, meanwhile, include connected tourism, healthcare, biomedical, biotech, sports and active lifestyle. However, Lee said the recent explosion of craft brewers in North County is one of the fastest growing industries in the region. “It’s just been exponential growth,” Lee said. “They call the 78 the ‘Hops Highway.’ That’s a perfect of a small industry that has been growing and growing.”

Demolition begins on building ravaged by fire By Steve Puterski
ESCONDIDO — Crews began demolishing an abandoned meat packing facility last week after a four-alarm blaze scorched the former Talone Meat Co. building last month. The inferno broke out before 9 a.m. on June 30 and took the efforts of more than 90 firefighters several hours to extinguish. Police blocked off access to the building, which sits on the intersection of Washington Street, Hale Avenue and Interstate 15. One crew remained at the scene throughout the night in case embers sparked another blaze, Escondido Fire Chief Russ Knowles said last week. The cause of the fire, meanwhile, is still under investigation. Calls to the EFD were not returned as of press time. Knowles said last week investigators may have trouble determining a cause due to the danger of the collapsed building possibly making it too dangerous for fire officials to walk the grounds inside the building. He said the building had no power, which may rule out an electrical fire. Four transients were apparently inside the building before the fire broke out, Knowles added. Rumors swirled about two transients being caught inside the building during the fire, but Knowles said another pair of transients accounted for the two people. Knowles said it was possible other people were inside the building, although crews must sift through the rubble to locate any possible victims. However, he said fire officials were not alerted to any other individuals other than the four transients inside the building at the time of the fire.

To reduce energy consumption at the plant, Poseidon employs 144 state-of-the-art energy recovery devices, which save an estimated 146 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy per year and reduce carbon emissions by 42,000 metric tons annually — a saving roughly equivalent to removing 9,000 passenger vehicles from the roads. Throughout the last six months of commercial operation, the plant has been working at 11 percent below the energy consumption guarantees in the Water Purchase Agreement with the San Diego County Water Authority.

The operation of the Carlsbad desalination facility does not generate greenhouse gas emissions of any kind; however, Poseidon’s precedent-setting Energy Minimization and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan offsets air emission’s associated with the plant’s purchase of electricity — a first for a large-scale water treatment plant in California. In the first six months of operations, the plant used two million pounds of recycled carbon dioxide in the water treatment process, which converted the gas to harmless compounds and prevented an equivalent amount from escaping to the atmosphere. Additionally, Posei-
don is developing 66 acres of new coastal wetlands and has invested $1 million to plant trees after the 2003 wild fires that ravaged Cuyamaca National Forest. “The water from the Carlsbad plant is truly the only drought-proof supply available to San Diego, it is not dependent on local rainfall or snowpack in the Sierra,” said Graham Beatty, Poseidon Water Director, Project Management and Finance. “Poseidon is committed to providing sustainable, fresh and clean drinking water to San Diego in an environmentally responsible manner.” Today, the Carlsbad plant is the largest, most technologically advanced, energy efficient and environmental sound seawater desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. It runs everyday producing 50 million gallons of high quality drinking water — enough to meet the needs of approximately 400,000 San Diegans. To date, the plant has produced and delivered more than 7 billion gallons of fresh, drinking water into San Diego County.

Residents rally for gun violence prevention By Bianca Kaplanek
DEL MAR — In the wake of recent mass shootings in Riverside, Orlando and Dallas, about 20 area residents rallied for gun violence prevention and in support of the Safety for All gun control initiative on July 9 near the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where the two-day Crossroads of the West gun show was getting underway. “We’re not against people owning guns,” organizer Wayne Dernetz said. “We are for laws that protect us from gun accidents and guns getting into the wrong hands.” A few months ago Dernetz started Our Town for Gun Safety, a local group whose goals are similar to those of Everytown for Gun Safety. That nonprofit organization, founded in 2014 by combining Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, works to support efforts to educate policymakers, the media and the public about the consequences of gun violence. “We’re very interested in the issue of gun safety,” Dernetz said. “Many Del Mar and Solana Beach residents agree that there is an urgent need to do something about gun violence. We want laws that keep guns locked in safes when they’re not being used.

“We support background checks that help keep guns out of the wrong hands,” he added. “California already has very strong gun laws. We’d like to see more states adopt these same sensible laws because they do help.” County Supervisor Dave Roberts attended the event to support mental health programs. “Incidents of gun violence almost always are tied by a common thread of a shooter who needs serious mental health treatment,” he said, noting the county has budgeted more than $500,000 to expand mental health programs. He said he and his colleagues have increased the number of psychiatric emergency response teams, which accompany
law enforcement to scenes of mental health crises, and passed legislation that allows the county to maintain custody of a severely mentally ill person for up to 30 days with approval from a judge. “We are providing the tools, resources and services needed to keep our communities safe so that people with severe mental illness don’t take weapons to harm others or themselves,” Roberts said. The Safety for All initiative, which will be on the November general election ballot, is a proposed California law that would prohibit the possession of large-capacity, military-style magazines, treat ammunition sales like gun sales and require that lost or stolen guns be reported.
It will also share data with the federal system on prohibited people and ensure people prohibited from owning guns do not possess them. Wearing orange T-shirts, participants at the Saturday rally stood across from the main entrance of the Del Mar Fairgrounds for about two hours waving at passers-by. They held handmade signs and a 1,000-foot tape banner from YellowTapeProject. com, a campaign advocating for responsible gun TURN TO RALLY ON 14

Initiative approved for ballot By Arnie Wiesel
Will ‘Brexit’ spur a ‘Caleavefornia?’ California Focus By Thomas D. Elias
L
ouis Marinelli polled just 6.2 percent of the vote in San Diego’s 80th Assembly District during the June primary, but there’s at least a chance the subsequent “Brexit” vote in Great Britain could increase his influence greatly. Marinelli, a teacher of English as a second language, has made a semi-independent California his theme for years. Until lately, he hadn’t pushed a complete split from the rest of the United States, the way some promoters of an independent Texas now advocate, using Twitter hashtag #Texit. Marinelli’s Yes California Independence Campaign (formerly called Sovereign California) sees immense promise in the way the United Kingdom likely will soon divorce the European Union. Yes California had mostly sought a semi-autonomous status similar to what Scotland has in the U.K. Just maybe, if Britons felt they had more of a voice within the EU, they would have voted to remain in it. That kind of larger voice is what Marinelli’s nascent movement has sought for California. Prior to the late-June British vote, Yes California Independence had not seen much success. In March, for example, the group under its previous name failed to qualify a new and more aggressive ballot initiative that would have asked that Californians vote on whether to become independent, with governors present and future to be called “presidents.” The measure also specified that if the rest of America refused to allow a so-called “Calexit,” the question would automatically appear on the state ballot every four years, along with the question of
whether California should apply for membership in the United Nations. Even in a year when the number of signatures required to qualify initiatives for the ballot is at a historic low of about 365,000, this idea found no traction, just like Marinelli’s state Assembly campaign. But the Brexit vote could change things. “It shows secession isn’t just a relic of the 19th Century,” Marinelli told a reporter. “It’s an example of an independence movement occurring in the Western world, a modern-day, 21st Century example of a political entity seceding from a political union. It means Californians who hear the word seces-
United States dollar and having its citizens register with Selective Service and serve in the American military. The idea of making binding agreements with other countries is something recent California governors like Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger have liked, to the point of signing myriad “memoranda of understanding” with provinces and states belonging to other nations from India to Russia, Canada, Brazil and, yes, the U.K. These have had little long-term meaning because they lack the status of treaties. Marinelli also raised the question of whether California should stop participating in presiden-
It means Californians who hear the word secession don’t have to think of the Civil War anymore. sion don’t have to think of the Civil War anymore. Now they have an example of how it can happen peacefully and legally…, and that’s the path to mimic here in California.” Marinelli has changed his tune a bit over the last two years. In 2014, he said in an interview that a totally sovereign California wasn’t needed, that the state should merely become capable of making its own binding deals with other countries and be able to pass laws that could not be overturned by the United States Supreme Court. Back then, he wanted to set up a nonpartisan blue-ribbon panel of state legislators to analyze “sub-national sovereignty” and its effects on Californians and other Americans. The group would hold hearings and call experts to testify on how California could sign its own treaties with foreign countries and otherwise assert itself internationally — while still using the
tial elections and revert to something like the notquite-statehood status Puerto Rico has today. And he plumped for the symbolic change of always flying the state’s Bear Republic flag at equal height with the Stars and Stripes on public property. No one took much of that seriously until after the British vote. Now far more radical changes may be taken seriously, at least in part because California gets back only about 77 cents in federal spending for every dollar in taxes its citizens contribute. There’s also the reality that Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court are often at philosophical odds with a majority of Californians. No, a Caleavefornia movement is not imminent. But neither is the notion quite as preposterous as it used to be. Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com. For more Elias columns, visit californiafocus.net

Letter to Ron Roberts on Lilac Hills By Jon C. Frandell
Dear Chairman Roberts, I respectfully request that the San Diego County Board of Supervisors support the project known as Lilac Hills Ranch, slated for North County’s Interstate 15 corridor. The proposed project is supported by the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce and hundreds of community Leaders, because it will help to alleviate the housing crisis, provide much needed new jobs and boost the area’s economy. Lilac Hills Ranch does not rely on any public subsidies nor will it increase taxes on surrounding residents. As such, the project will significantly increase the property tax base and tax revenues to the local Bonsall Unified School District and the County of San Diego and many oth-
er project benefits will be felt throughout North San Diego County business and residents. The sales and property tax revenue that go to the County can also help fund local road improvements, help offset or eliminate subsidies that are unique to the local fire district. Lilac Hills Ranch is a sustainable community that would promote healthy living and connect residents with the environment — preserving the area’s natural open space, restoring and enhancing local wetlands, and adding over 16 miles of multi-use trails and parks, which would connect to the countywide trail network. The project would generate several hundred high-paying construction jobs to install the latest environmentally-friendly residential and mixed-use
building components that surpass current energy codes by at least 30 percent. The project proposes a mixed-use Town Center, which would produce hundreds of permanent retail, commercial, and professional jobs — bringing millions of dollars in anticipated revenues. Current residents will also benefit from designs that incorporate new schools, a new fire station, and improvements to local roadways that will increase fire safety, relieve traffic congestion and make commuting safer and easier. Please consider supporting Lilac Hills Ranch as a smart way to grow and improve our community in North San Diego County. Sincerely, Jon C. Frandell Past president, Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce

Bread of Life Rescue Mission aims to open year-round shelter By Promise Yee
OCEANSIDE — If it were up to Bread of Life Rescue Mission staff, its year-round homeless shelter would have opened yesterday. Pastor Steve Bassett said there is growing need for temporary housing for people trying to get back on their feet, and the added challenge of a lack of affordable housing. The 2016 Regional Task Force for the Homeless point in time count found Oceanside has 392 unsheltered homeless individuals, more than twice the number it had last year. Bassett said he believes the number of city homeless is even higher. He said he has seen firsthand the struggles of families and individuals who come to the rescue mission soup kitchen and food bank. “In 10 years’ time we tripled the amount of people we served (in food support services),” Bassett said. “We used to serve a few hundred people, now we serve a few
thousand.” To extend Bread of Life’s homeless shelter from a four-month winter shelter to a year-round shelter an additional $25,000 a month is needed for paid staff and operations. The goal is to almost double its current budget, which is about $30,000 a month. The rescue mission receives city funds on a yearto-year basis to operate its winter shelter for single men and women, which is open from Dec. 1 through March 31. Along with a place to sleep and meals, the program provides a case management worker who helps clients set goals and follow through to secure employment and permanent housing. To raise sufficient funds to operate a year-round shelter the rescue mission is courting grants and donors, and readying to launch a GoFundMe campaign. A $10,000 city application process, which includes securing a conditional use permit, to operate a
12-month shelter also needs to be funded. Bassett said as soon as $2,500 is raised, Bread of Life will begin the city application process and continue to raise the remainder of money for the application, and future operations costs. “When the money is committed we’ll begin the process with the city and jump through all the hoops,” Bassett said. Another step the rescue mission has taken is its two full-time pastors, including Bassett, have been trained and certified to be case management workers. This enables the rescue mission to serve more people. It also aids it to receive more grant funds. The Bread of Life Rescue Mission has served the region for 13 years. It offers a winter homeless shelter, soup kitchen, food bank and optional gospel studies and Sunday services. The rescue mission is also a member of the Alliance for Regional Solutions network of support services.
ESCONDIDO — An Escondido police officer and a nonprofit are visiting local bars and restaurants to hand-deliver invitations for an alcohol server training and encourage the businesses to send their workers to the free class. The police department, North Inland Community Prevention Program and the state Alcoholic Beverage Control will host the voluntary training from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 29 in the Mitchell Room at Escondido City Hall, 201 N. Broadway in Escondido. Led by a former ABC investigator, the class will teach participants how to spot fake IDs, determine when customers are intoxicated and safely stop serving them, among other things. The training augments other police department efforts to reduce drunk driving. “It’s not just about DUI checkpoints,” said Police Chief Craig Carter. “We need to be proactive and get out there and try to educate people by getting them to these trainings. The obvious goal is education about over serving (of alcohol) and looking for signs of intoxication.” Most San Diego County cities require anyone who sells or serves alcohol in a store, restaurant or bar
to successfully complete server training every two years. The ABC offers the class free of charge in cities throughout the region to ensure it is available for those who need it. While Escondido does not require the training, the police department periodically hosts voluntary classes, but seats at those trainings typically are primarily filled by people who need the training due to their jobs in nearby cities. In an effort to boost local bars’ and restaurants’ participation, the ABC agreed not to accept reservations for the July 29 class from non-Escondido businesses’ employees until two weeks before the training. The personal invitations are designed to raise the local attendance rate, as well. Funded by the county, the North Inland Community Prevention Program routinely surveys participants in the ABC’s alcohol server class about their perceptions of the training. Survey results from participants at the ABC alcohol server class in San Marcos showed the majority of participants attend class only because they are required to or believed the training would increase their chances of being hired by one of the city’s stores, bars or restaurants.
Most survey respondents also said that by the end of the class, they felt it had been well worth their time, survey results show. An early-June collision in Escondido resulting in the death of a pregnant victim’s unborn child is a recent tragic example of how the city is affected by the problem of drunk driving. The man whose car hit the victim’s is facing multiple felony charges, including two counts of DUI causing injury. While it’s unclear whether he had been at a bar or restaurant beforehand, results from a survey routinely conducted by law enforcement officers when they make drunk driving arrests show that many of the arrestees say they obtained their last alcoholic drink at a bar or restaurant. Training bar and restaurant workers to identify underage or intoxicated drinkers and safely stop serving them can only help with the effort, Carter said. “I highly recommend it (the ABC server class); there’s no downside to this.” Escondido’s alcohol-licensed businesses can call North Inland Community Prevention Program at (858) 391-9303 to reserve seats for their employees at the July 29 Escondido training.

Another rabid bat found at Safari Park Staff report
ESCONDIDO — Another bat found lying on the ground at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park has tested positive for rabies, according to a report from the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency. The bat was found alive on July 10 at approximately 2:15 p.m. near the Oasis Deli in Nairobi Village. Trained park staff collected the bat without directly touching it and no human or animal contact has been reported. A Mexican free-tailed
bat was found in the same location about a month ago on June 11, also testing positive for rabies. The bats are native to Southern California. The latest bat makes it the third to test positive for rabies in the county. According to the county, six bats were found last year that tested positive for rabies. For anyone who may have come into contact with a rabid bat, call the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency at (619) 692-8499.
Joi Lin Blake sworn in as president of Palomar College By Aaron Burgin
SAN MARCOS — The Joi Lin Blake era has begun at Palomar College, as the community college’s new president and superintendent was sworn in during the July 12 board meeting. Blake, the former president of the College of Alameda, technically began her tenure the day before, but the board held her swearing-in ceremony at its regularly scheduled meeting. The College board selected Blake after a yearlong process to find the permanent replacement for Robert Deegan, who retired from the college in June 2015. Adrian Gonzales, the college’s assistant superintendent/vice president of student services,
served as interim leader until Blake took over. Palomar board President Mark Evilsizer spoke of Blake’s “enthusiasm, professionalism and impressive record of leadership,” as he expressed excitement about working with her as the college moves forward. Blake, a former San Diego resident, served in her position at the College of Alameda for one-and-a-half years. She has more than 30 years of experience in education, including stints at San Diego Mesa and Southwestern colleges. Blake expressed excitement about working at Palomar College and appreciation for the warm welcome and help she has received so far.

Kindness meter finds home in Hillcrest By Steve Puterski
SAN DIEGO — “Kindness matters” is more than a motto for Carlton Lund. It is a way of life and the Carlsbad realtor’s latest Kindness Meter was officially christened in the Hillcrest neighborhood on Tuesday at the Deli Llama. The meters are gaining in popularity as this marks the ninth, plus “traveling” ones, around the county. “Eventually, I think you can have them at all different places,” Lund said. “With this color logo, it’s about complete solidarity. It’s non-denominational.” The Hillcrest meterwill support LGBT organizations. The meter installation Tuesday fell on the one-month anniversary of the tragic Orlando massacre, where 49 people were killed during a shooting rampage at a gay nightclub. The first goal of the new meter is to raise at least $1,000, which will be donated to a memorial in San Diego for the Orlando victims. Secondly, Lund added, is to generate funds for local causes such as the
San Diego LGBT Community Center. Lund, meanwhile, teamed with oceanic artist Wyland on the newest addition to the meter stockpile. Lund said he and Wyland both have close relationships with members of the gay community, and spreading kindness doesn’t preclude anyone from any community. “What caused me to do it was the sheer violence (of the Orlando attack),” Lund said on reaching out to the LGBT community. “There is no small act of kindness.” After a $250 deposit by Lund, several people at the ceremony swiped their credit cards to make donations or dropped in coins. One such kindness donor was Kai Donaghy, 6, and his mother, Bonnie. Bonnie read about the news on the deli’s Facebook page and said it was a chance for her family to give back. Kai dropped in $10 in quarters followed by a credit card donation from Bonnie. After the two made their contributions, others followed, giving the newest
meter a solid opening. “It was something to do for the families of the Orlando attacks,” Bonnie said. Funds raised at the meter, which features drawings of Darlene the Dolphin, are much welcomed, said Amber Cyphers Stephens, chief communications officer of the San Diego LGBT Community Center. Each quarter the funds will be deposited from an account at California Bank & Trust to the LGBT organizations, Lund said. As for Stephens, she said the Carlsbad philanthropist called the center on Monday “out of the blue.” Lund detailed his plans and asked if the center wanted to partner. Stephens said it was a welcomed call, one the center does not receive too often. “He told me about his reaction to Orlando, how horrifying it was and wanted to work with the center,” she said. “We, of course, were delighted. It’s always nice to have someone approach you, specifically, someone who’s an
ally.” The San Diego center, which is the nation’s second oldest, provides programs, resources, advocacy, youth outreach, financial stability, homelessness and support to people of all sexual orientations. Last year, the center provided more than 61,000 direct service visits in San Diego. “Community centers always need additional funding.” Stephens said. “With the things that have been happening lately, it’s nice when someone reaches out to you. It’s good to know there is overall support outside the (LGBT) community. I think it’s real important to build those bridges.” As for Lund, his continued drive to spread kindness isn’t just relegated to North County or San Diego. He said this is the first step of taking “Kindness Meters” to the next level, which for him, is a global reach. Locally, the “Kindness Meters” have nearly totaled $10,000 in donations. “I will ring a bell when we reach $10,000,” Lund said.

Bill Walton leads lively ‘Sports Night’ talk Who’s got one good thumb and By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — Every month residents at La Costa Glen race to gobble up tickets to listen to tales of the sporting world. Developed five years ago, the retirement community’s monthly “Sports Night” has become a big hit. Last week, however, was the most popular event to date as more than 100 people packed the facility’s common room to listen to San Diego legend Bill Walton spin yarns and sign copies of his book, “Back from the Dead.” “People were complaining because they couldn’t sign up fast enough,” said Mel Kerner, one of the event’s organizers. “We go out in the community and think of people who might come and get in touch with them.” Kerner, a resident and the night’s emcee, attempted to introduce Walton several times, but the gregarious 63-year-old basketball Hall of Famer kept cutting Kerner off with a joke or story, which would fan out into several other tales before circling back to the original topic. Kerner took the reins of the monthly gathering about three years ago and it has morphed into the most popular, or at least one of, events at the community. The list of professional and college sports figures is impressive: skateboarder Tony Hawk, Joe Harper

of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, San Diego State football coach Rocky Long, former Major League Baseball pitcher Rick Sutcliffe, Bruce Walton, Bill’s brother who played in the NFL, and Kerner’s son, Dave Kerner, a sports radio reporter in Chicago, to name a few. The evening begins with dinner and culminates with a question and answer session. “I’ve been working on Bill for about a year,” Kerner said. “After several months, because of his schedule, he finally agreed. I wrote him a letter and Bruce (Walton) gave him the letter.” Walton, meanwhile, discussed his illustrious
college career at UCLA in the early 1970s, where he won two national championships and won a men’s-record 88 consecutive games as part of the greatest collegiate dynasty in history. He also reminisced about winning the NBA title in Portland and followed with how his career was derailed by dozens of operations and “bad feet.” In total, Walton has had 37 surgeries. Walton, who overcame a vicious stutter and is now a broadcaster for ESPN, spoke of how he worked through the condition to become one of the networks most colorful analysts. He said legendary broadcaster Marty Glick-
man gave Walton tips, exercises and other techniques to overcome the stutter. “Now they are scouring the Earth to find the person to get to stop talking,” Walton joked. He also praised his parents, although they were not sports fans, and how their devotion to family created a strong bond with them and his siblings. Walton also raved about his brother, Bruce, and their relationship noting they are the only two brothers to ever play in the NBA Finals and Super Bowl (Bruce Walton played for the Dallas Cowboys, who lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl X). Walton, though, also shared his darkest times, such as contemplating suicide about eight years ago after his spine collapsed. “It was like a scalding vat of acid with electricity,” Walton said of the pain. He said his wife, Lori, pulled him through coupled with a new surgery to fix his spine. The surgery got Walton back on his bike — which he rides constantly — back to work, back on the road with his favorite band, The Grateful Dead, and back with his family. He also took a shot at aging when he said the state of play in the NBA today is better than it has ever been. “The surest sign of aging is when we’re whining how good it used to be,” he smiled.

S
o I had some elective thumb surgery, for really boring, arthritic reasons. As a result, I have found wearing a fairly large cast/bandage has enlightened me to some odd and interesting things. For instance, I now know that wearing a cast when you are over 18 is not in the least cool or fun. This doubles if you are a woman and triples if you have children to take care of. If you have no cabana boys, manservants, lady’s maid or moms around, it gets pretty tiresome. I cannot effectively tear open any package, button buttons or do my hair. Makeup application gets pretty hilarious. I discovered some amazing new outfits in my wardrobe made up of anything with an elastic waistband and shirts with wide sleeves. I’m remembering not to drop my arm below my heart. Most of the time. Ah, ouch. I learned that using frozen peas to ice my arm works quite well. However, a broken bag will leave a trail of spilled peas throughout the house. I then learned
I am the only one in the family who would prefer to sweep up thawed peas, rather than step on them. I soon learned that my good hand is doing so much work, it becomes strained and weak, so I drop things I still thought I could pick up. This is manageable if I drop an orange or even an eating utensil, less so, if it’s a jar of mayonnaise or glass full of chocolate milk. I am perfecting the art of covering my bandages with various plastic bags and rubber bands. I have lost several wrestling matches with the handheld showerhead. I wished to leave all screw-on lids loose, until I forgot and tried to shake up that salad dressing. It is also good news that recovery from having various joints and tendons clipped, scraped, wired and sewn isn’t as painful as it sounds. The body’s resilience is an amazing thing. I do wonder, though, why, as it miraculously and marvelously heals itself, it has to itch like you dropped a flea circus down your cast. It’s truly all worth it when friends and strangers alike gaze at my arm with a question on their eyes, and I simply say, “Bar fight.” I’m a sucker for a good punch line.

Vallecitos eases water restrictions SAN MARCOS — The Vallecitos Water District’s Board of Directors has voted to rescind the mandatory drought restrictions under its “Level 2 Drought Alert” and move to voluntary conservation measures under its “Level 1 Drought Watch,” thereby ending restrictions on outdoor watering. Vallecitos customers may now irrigate any day of the week with no limit on the number of watering days, and may irrigate their landscapes as long as necessary. However, the board expressed its desire to sustain water conservation as a permanent way of life and adopted a new ordinance permanently prohibiting wasteful practices, such as: — Visible signs of runoff when watering landscapes — Watering between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. — Watering within 48 hours of a measurable rain event — Hosing down hardscapes (patios, sidewalks, etc.) — Not using a shut-off nozzle when washing cars — Not fixing leaks within 48 hours of discov-
ery
The district’s action was taken in response to the State Water Resources Control Board recently terminating water use reduction mandates and allowing water agencies to set their own water use targets based upon their specific supply conditions. Recognizing persistent yet less severe drought conditions throughout California, the newly adopted emergency regulation, which is in effect through January 2017, mandates that urban water suppliers act to ensure at least a three-year supply of water to their customers under drought conditions. A thorough analysis determined that Vallecitos has sufficient water supplies for its customers, even if drought conditions continue for the next three years; therefore, the District won’t be subject to state-mandated water-use reductions through January 2017. This is due largely to its customers who saved 25 percent since June 2015 and the fact that Vallecitos now receives a portion of its water directly from the Carlsbad Desalination Plant, which is a local, drought-resilient supply.

W
ith the traveling circus known as the All-Star Game having exited stage right, we turn our focus to the important players. Two area Little League All-Star teams are alive, and considering the ASG prices charged at Petco Park, their games are a supreme bargain. Even when they are free. “There’s always lots of excitement and the games are unpredictable,’’ said Alfredo Vega, Vista National’s Little League coach. Vista National has yet to pack away its cleats. It joins another local squad, the always-dangerous Encinitas Little League, in this week’s Section 6 tournament. The event, hosted by Vista National, is a double-elimination, nail-biting beauty which will provide chills and thrills. Vista National Little League advanced after a walk-off win to beat Poway for the District 70 crown. Encinitas arrives after disposing of Encinitas National Little League in becoming just the third team in District 31 history to win three consecutive
titles. “Anything can happen in these games and it usually does,’’ said Vega, finally exhaling after Joe Schilling’s game-winning home run on his 13th birthday. While “Jo-Jo’s” dinger to eliminate Vista American will long be remembered, Vega likes his squad’s balance. “I think we got a good mix of good pitching and we got a pretty solid lineup, from Nos. 1-9,’’ he said. “I’m really excited about what we can do and I can’t wait until Saturday.’’ VNLL, which lost in the District 70 finals the past two years, plays Point Loma in its opener at 9 a.m. Saturday. “It was pretty awesome to finally win,’’ Vega said. “It’s pretty much the same group of kids that have been together since they were 10 years old. We were in the driver’s seat the past two years and didn’t get it done. So it was nice not to let that last time get away.’’ No matter what Vega is driving, he’s sure righty Shane Vass is riding along. Vass threw a two-hitter in VNLL’s District 70 championship game. The Encinitas Little League vase is usually filled with poinsettias, and lately it’s been the roses that go to the winners. ELL has been the dominant squad in North County lately, falling but one game shy of the WestTURN TO ALL-STARS ON 14

Supergirl Pro marks 9 year anniversary By Promise Yee
OCEANSIDE — The annual Supergirl Pro surf contest is expected to draw more than 100,000 spectators to Oceanside Pier later this month. Top female surfers compete in the one and only 6-star, World Surf League sanctioned women’s surf contest. This is the ninth year for the international three-day competition. In its early days it was a half-day contest held in conjunction with the annual Oceanside Longboard Surf Club Contest. Now it’s a solid stand-alone event. Spectators will see more than 100 women surfers face off in back-to-back heats from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 22 and July 23, and from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. July 24.

Escondido joins escape room craze By Steve Puterski
ESCONDIDO — As the craze grows, so do the options to stump even the most clever of minds. On Monday, the city will join the growing list of escape rooms unlocking doors across the country, when Clue Avenue opens. Escape rooms feature a themed room where a group of people are challenged to “break out” by solving numerous clues to stop an ominous threat or challenge, whether it be a mad scientist, zombies, nuclear attack or any other option the creators can come up with. The creators of Clue Avenue — Nick and Shilpa Pryor, Dave and Kathleen Beccue, Jeremy and Jessica Sewell and Brock and Shannon Fellows — are beginning with humble roots as its first room is dedicat-
ed to players stopping a supervillain in the “Villain’s Lair.” Their room holds between two and six people with various rates depending on the number of people in a team. “We started hearing about the craze and were really interested,” Pryor said. “We went down to one in San Diego and really enjoyed. The room we went to was simple and basic, not in a bad way … it seemed like a simple concept to do on our own.” The friends, who all work other full-time jobs, found space in downtown above the Patio Playhouse on East Grand Avenue, and worked diligently for the past several months to build and create the sets and clues for patrons. As for the look of the room, Pryor declined to
get into specifics, saying it’s part of the players’ experience. Nevertheless, the group is optimistic Escondido’s first escape room will become a hit. “There is a large, untapped population in Escondido,” Dave Beccue said. While Clue Avenue only has one room currently, Pryor said they will soon expand to another room. The lessons learned from building, designing and generating clues will come much faster for the second room. “We’ve learned what was time consuming with the first one,” Pryor explained. “We are trying to put in a little more depth and complexity to, not just the storyline, but the puzzles themselves.” Clue Avenue, meanwhile, was conceived in February when the friends started emailing each other brainstorming ideas — everything from the name of the company, to themes and designs. Kathleen Beccue said they had a “deep bench of talent,” including a former set designer for the California Center of the Arts, Escondido. By pooling their resources, the group got the ball rolling.
They found their location, 201 E. Grand Ave., Ste. 2G, and began working toward opening. “We have a lot of people with experience in customer service, writing, creativity, theatrics,” Beccue said. But to separate their room from others, Dave Beccue said it’s their goal to leave their customers pondering “important questions,” such as moral aspects of their escape room. Another goal is to make the room’s difficulty not so hard that it can’t be solved, but rather amping up the excitement in the race against the clock. Clue Avenue will be just the third escape room in North County, joining The School of Hard Locks in Carlsbad and Mighty Awesome Escape Rooms in San Marcos. “We want it to be a cooperative industry where we can endorse each other,” Kathleen Beccue said. “You want to be referring them to have an experience when you’re in the process of turning over your room.” For more about Clue Avenue, visit their website at clueavenue.com, on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Jones ‘finds the pocket’ of success in new sound By Tony Cagala
ENCINITAS — From underground hip-hop to hardcore rock to gentle pop? That’s the meandering musical path Ceekay Jones has been on and where he now finds himself. “I’ve had a very blessed career in music,” Jones, 37, said. But music wasn’t always in the picture. Jones, a former professional snowboarder and Junior Olympics skier who grew up in Taos, New Mexico, somewhat stumbled into music when a knee injury put a halt on any further downhill slope aspirations. That first band he was in, Tabularasa, kicked things off for him and he hasn’t looked back since — a predestined road that he was supposed to be on. That led to career of wide-ranging musical styles for Jones, from performing underground hip-hop in Los Angeles to being a part of the New York hardcore scene, as the lead singer for Skarhead. “It’s just been this wild roller coaster ride,” he said. Though the roller coaster he’s been on has found a brand new track. Touring with Skarhead all around the world had its moments, but it wasn’t resonating with him anymore, he explained.
Art association places call for artists ESCONDIDO —The Escondido Art Association, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to promote the arts in North County San Diego, invites artists of all ages, members and non-members alike, to participate in our Second Annual “Celebrate Grand Escondido” open judged 2-D art show. A total of $1,075 in prize money, as well as free entries to future shows, will be awarded in the following four categories: Watercolor; Oil/ Acrylic; Photography/Digital; and, Other (mixed media, pastel, pen & ink, etc.) This exhibition of artwork will focus on the diversity that Escondido has to offer and all entries must adhere to the theme of promoting the pride and promise in the Grand City of Escondido in order to be eligible for an award. Complete information and two-page flyer/entry form can be downloaded escondidoartist.weebly.com or by visiting the Artists Gallery at 121 W. Grand Avenue. For more information call (760) 489-0338.
“Here I am listening to singer/songwriter stuff back stage in my headphones and then going out on stage and doing hardcore music, so I realized there was a big thing happening inside of me that was a kind of battle.” That all came to a head in 2010, when Jones decided to take a step back and focus on his own personal message that he could offer as a solo artist. He started playing guitar, and writing songs rather than raps. The music on his debut six-song EP is decidedly different from his earlier material. “I’m in the lane,” he said of his new music. “This is expressing exactly how I’m feeling musically.” Last year, while on tour with the band OPM in Europe, Jones unveiled his new sound — just him, his songs and his acoustic guitar. And what about the fans of his hip-hop and hardcore music? Would they follow? He was surprised to find they would. “I was willing to lose fans to gain new ones,” he said. “All in all, I really have been shocked in that sense, that even the really super hardcore, underground hiphop heads and the thrashing hardcore punk rock fans have all been open and stoked on what I’ve been do-

ing,” he said. That was all he needed to feel he was on the right path for sure. “I found the pocket,” said Jones. “I know this EP sounds very stripped back and I wanted that, but I’m going to be putting out a
full-length album definitely by the end of the year if not right at the beginning of this next year.” Jones still brings some of the older material on stage in an attempt to show that side of his musical abilities, but he’s aware enough
not to fall back on it. His performances today, feature a lot of technology like using live production loop pedals and drum machines. “I’ll throw down some raps here and there, just to show that hip-hop back-
ground,” he said. Jones is bringing his new sound to Encinitas in two shows over the weekend. He’ll be performing at Mr. Peabody’s (136 Encinitas Blvd.) July 15 at 8 p.m. and at the 1st Street Bar (656 S. Coast Highway 101) July 16.

Odd Files By Chuck Shepherd Bright Ideas Picturesque Torrelodones, Spain (pop. 22,000), has 6,000 pet dogs and apparently few conscientious dog owners, which town leaders say accounts for the nearly half-ton of “litter” that accumulates daily. The town’s latest bright idea: installing a 7-foot-high, 10-by-10-foot brown, inflated plastic “swirly” in the center of town as a reminder to residents to pick up after their dogs. (Spain’s The Local reported in June that other towns have begun to tackle the problem as well, such as with DNA testing of dogs and street-scrubbing punishment for guilty owners.) • British student Joshua Browder, 19, created an easy-to-use computer app to help drivers fight parking tickets they believe unjust — and now reports that users have won 160,000 cases (out of 250,000), all in London and New York City, by following his question-and-answer “chat” interface at DoNotPay. co.uk. Browder said he was motivated to develop the app (which, as of now, is still free of charge) after himself getting about 30 tickets he says he did not deserve. The Passing Parade A bicycle thief was stopped on June 10 when the bike’s owner and several other people chased him from the Wal-Mart parking lot in Eagle Point, Ore., drawing the attention of a passing rider on horseback (Robert Borba), who joined the chase and moments later (according to a report in Portland’s The Oregonian) lassoed the man and restrained him until police arrived. (2) A kite surfer on a Sussex beach south of London got into trouble on June 26 and was unable to float back to land — until he was rescued by two Good Samaritans in kayaks. The saviors happened to be dressed as Batman and Robin for participating in the Shoreham Beach Superhero Paddle. Wait, What? Not only are almost all federal employees above average, they are nearly all superior workers, according to a June Government Accountability Office review of agencies’ personnel-rating results. (Yes, the review included the departments of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security.) Most agencies use a 1 (“unacceptable”) through 5 (“outstanding”) rating system, and GAO found that 99 percent were rated either 5 or 4 (“exceeds ‘fully acceptable’”).

Picking up good vibrations at the new Chandler’s at Cape Rey My wine “wow� list has the opener, a Barth Riesling from the Reingau district of Germany, 2014. Next up was a familiar Chardonnay from the Frank Family of Napa Valley, 2013. Finally with my Jidori chicken, I chose the Davis Bynum Russian River Sonoma Pinot Noir 2014. Now here’s the eye-opener. All these wines were by the glass, lovely on the palate and worthy of a premium bottle. Cape Rey, poolside, has its Sunset Terrace, a light-hearted venue with live entertainment on select evenings, a 3 to 6 p.m. happy hour with themed events and specials you will love — some delightful surprises in small bites, wines by the glass, cocktails and craft beers. On Mondays, it expands to all evening. The Sunset Music Series is top shelf with free pop music concerts the last Thursday of the month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. See the OttoPilot Band July 28, Funk Shui Planet Aug. 25 and Aquile Sept. 29.

This little guy is a rescue.” The center also embarks on its summer camps, which include Reptile Explorers and Ectotherms in Art. Nowicke said the art program will coincide with Cruisin’ Grand as the artwork will be on display to those passing by during the annual Friday street festival. The reptile and ectortherms camps continue July 25 and Aug. 8. The explorers camp, Nowicke said, focuses on the biology, science and dietary needs of the animals. From 9 a.m.-3 p.m., the kids are hands on with the animals learning about all aspects of those species.
As for Ectotherms in Art, Nowicke said campers will work with all three groups of animals — reptiles, amphibians and bugs — learning about their influence on humans throughout history. “Each day we explore a different culture or group and in that we look at the influence in art,” she added. “For example, the Aborigines (indigenous people from Australia) created an art called dot art. Because they had no written language, they would sketch out maps on tree bark. They would do an intricate dot art and included serpents, lizards and bugs in art.” For more about the museum or camps, call (760) 9759690 or visit ecovivarium.org.

Win or lose, this has been no bummer of a summer for these boys. “They’ve have already had quite an accomplishment because the district tournaments are so hard,’’
Pederson said. “There are some real good teams in our districts.’’ But you know kids and they want more, more, more.

“We were extremely pleased that we received so much support both from people passing by and, more importantly, from people leaving the gun show,” Sharp said. “Mostly they honked or waved. Some did not or avoided eye contact. “With so many senseless killings last week, I think citizens realize that it is time to deal with the problem in a commonsense
way,” she added. Past efforts by the city of Del Mar to stop gun shows at the fairgrounds, including an adopted resolution a few years ago, have not been successful.

Friday nights offer much more frequency going both ways so check the Coaster schedule for details. One of the pleasures of taking the Coaster downtown has always been the ability to bring your alcoholic beverage of choice on the train and enjoy it on the scenic trip. That all changed recently as they have banned booze from the Coaster, which is a big bummer. Why not just ban it after a certain time? I don’t see late afternoon pre-dinner folks getting out of control with a beer or two on the way downtown. That said, I did see a lot of folks with coffee mugs on my last ride — just saying.

Just a word of warning to those of you who have been to the original Snack Shack in North Park and reveled in its funky charm, the Embarcadero location is a whole different animal so to speak. While the North Park location feels like you are eating in a friend’s backyard somewhere in the Midwest, the new location is sleek and modern with primarily outdoor seating. It has a crafty cocktail program headed up by bar manager Mai Phom that features a rotating selection of creative cocktails, featuring predominantly local spirits and designed specifically for easy drinking by the bay. They take their cocktails seriously at Snack Shack Embarcadero and that was on display with our two pro bartenders whipping up some crazy good concoctions. And while one might expect lighter fare at the new location, and they do have a fish taco, most of the pork-centric menu is intact and that is a very good thing. I understand the need for a fish taco on the menu given the location, but when I’m heading to the Snack Shack, regardless of the location, I’m going for pork and beef in all their glory. My favorites include the pork belly starter, carnitas tacos, the BLT, the super crispy and moist chicken sandwich, the steak sandwich on Texas-style toast, and of course, the famous triple threat that
includes a trifecta of pork stacked on a Kaiser roll from Sadie Rose Bakery: a chicken-fried pork cutlet, slow roasted pulled pork and slices of applewood-smoked bacon, topped with home made pepperoncini and pickle relish. It’s become an iconic San Diego sandwich, and if you can’t get your mouth around that, pull out a layer and eat it separately. The burger is top notch as well. There are music events every weekend with live performances from local and regional musicians every Friday, Saturday, and sometimes Sunday. Weekend brunch happens from 7 to 11 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday. So the great thing about over-indulging at Snack Shack Embarcadero on a Coaster adventure is that you can walk it off after, then slip into a mild food coma after on the train north. Just don’t miss your stop! Carnitas Snack Shack on the water at the Embarcadero is at 1004 N. Harbor Drive in San Diego. For more information call (619) 696-PORK (7675) or go online at carnitassnackshack.com.
