CSUSM faculty seek higher salaries By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — Cal State San Marcos faculty members staged a noontime rally on campus Tuesday to generate support for a 5 percent raise for full-time faculty throughout the California State University system. The rally is occurring amid a vote being taken statewide by members of the California Faculty Association, which represents 23,000 full-time professors and teachers that would authorize a strike if the CSU Chancellor Timothy White does not grant teachers’ demands for the raise. White’s office has offered a 2 percent salary increase, which has been rejected by the faculty union. The two sides have declared an impasse and have entered into a “fact-finding” phase governed by three neutral arbiters. If a salary agreement can’t be

reached following the conclusion of the fact-finding phase, the faculty could authorize a strike. Union leadership said that the state university’s teachers have had one raise since 2007 — a 1.6 percent salary increase in 2014 — and as a result, many teachers find themselves working multiple jobs and taking other measures to stay financially afloat, which takes away from the time they can spend focusing on their students. Of the 23,000 union members statewide, the majority — about 13,000 — make under $40,000 annually, according to faculty association statistics. “The misnomer is that professors make a lot of money,” said Darel Engen, a history professor and president of the Cal State San Marcos chapter of the faculty association. “Our teachers have basically gone eight years without a meaningful in-

crease and they can’t afford to go longer without one.” The cost for a 5 percent raise for faculty system wide — about $63 million — could be covered without raising student fees, Engen said. “The Governor (Jerry Brown) just added $97 million to the budget for the CSU system; the money is there,” Engen said. “Faculty sacrificed a lot during the hard times, and now that times are good, we are just asking for our fair share.” Faculty members donned bright-red shirts emblazoned with the message “I don’t want to strike, But I will” and spoke to the fluctuating crowd of students and passersby about some of the sacrifices the school’s faculty made during the recession, including forfeiting most of an 11 percent salary increase that was apTURN TO SALARIES ON 16

New center for veterans to open this month By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — A new veterans facility in Escondido expected to open this month was officially christened on Oct. 7. The Hawthorne Veteran and Family Resource Center, 250 N. Ash St., will be a much-needed addition to assisting veterans and low-income families getting back on their feet. San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts and Interfaith Executive Director Greg Anglea led the ceremony. Also in attendance were Supervisor Bill Horn, Escondido Mayor Sam Abed and philanthropist Tom Hawthorne, who donated funds to purchase the building and is the center’s namesake. Roberts said the center will be a “great asset”

to the community and provides an avenue for vets to transition after falling on hard times. The 10,000 square-foot

facility has 32 beds and staff there can begin helping vets on their road to recovery. “This facility is a life-

saver,” Roberts said. Of course, there is still work to be done on the fundraising front, he added, as the $3.2 million facility is in need of the final $600,000 to complete its goal. The money will be used to add furniture and other amenities. In addition, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved a pair of $150,000 grants to remodel the building. Interfaith, meanwhile, is the organization providing the assistance to veterans so they can acquire stable incomes and permanent housing. The group currently has three other facilities — two in Escondido and one in Oceanside — offering 144 beds to eligible veterans. Caitlin Kosec, grants TURN TO VETERANS ON 16

Carlsbad, Escondido act in anticipation of rainy season By Steve Puterski

REGION — Weather is coming. The million-dollar question is, however, how much precipitation will fall? Although the answer must wait until the massive El Niño weather system actually hits North San Diego County. Nevertheless, the city of Carlsbad is already in action preparing for big rains. Senior Management Analyst Craddock Stropes of Carlsbad’s Public Works Department said her department is hard at work identifying flood zones, construction projects and clearing storm drains throughout the city. “We will update them (the City Council) next month to give a heads up on what the city has done so far,” Stropes said. Clear streets are a priority, she added, including the annual storm drain program. Stropes said all drains will be cleaned by the end of the year, while the city has also doubled the number of sandbags available for city use and residents. Other priorities include a stockpile of road signs for traffic impacts, securing heavy equipment such as trucks and backloaders to remove debris. In addition, several contractors will be available in an on-call capacity. “We have plans to install … things to prevent flooding and over flooding of the storm drains,” Stropes explained. For example, the city is using data from previous storms and from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to identify potential flood areas. Also, the information will be implemented

for erosion control to prevent or holdback possible mudslides. “As we approach the rainy season, we will continue to keep an eye on things like construction schedules,” Stropes added. “We know there are a lot of construction activities going on in the city. We want to identify areas where there might be flooding hot spots.” Due east, meanwhile, similar preparations are being made in Escondido. The city’s website includes a link with detailed information concerning city efforts and what residents should do before, during and after any large storms. As for the city, additional training has been completed for the Emergency Operations Center, stockpiled sandbags, secured pruned trees, clearing flood channels and storm drains, secured heavy equipment, identified flood zones and much more. Escondido is also hosting an emergency preparedness workshop for residents from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday at the community room of the police and fire headquarters, 1163 N. Centre City Parkway. “What I recommend is that people take it serious,” Escondido Public Works Director Ed Domingue said. “Look to be prepared. What’s the worst that could happen if we clean up and maintain the things that we ought to be cleaning and maintaining and there’s no rain?” Tina Stall, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in San Diego, said the average TURN TO WEATHER ON 16

Escondido city manager announces resignation By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — The longest tenured city manager in Escondido history is calling it a career. Mayor Sam Abed announced Clay Phillips’ resignation during Wednesday’s city council meeting. Phillips, whose contract expires in the spring, will step down Dec. 18. “Clay Phillips sent us his letter of resignation,” Abed told the audience. “He is ready for retirement.” Phillips, who graduated from Loma Linda University and earned a MBA from Pepperdine, began his public service career in Santa Ana more than 30 years ago. He took a position with the city of Irvine and in January 1986 found the place he would call home for the next 30 years in Es-

condido. “You are trying to help the community,” Phillips said. “People forget that sometimes. Business are here to make a profit, we’re not. It’s a very subtle difference.” He also spent a stint in the private sector in the aerospace industry before joining Escondido. He began in Escondido as the city’s finance manager, combing through budgets and other financial aspects for the city. Several years later he was promoted and oversaw human resources, administrative functions, information systems and finance. Once again, Phillips was promoted, this time in the late 1990s to deputy city manager. He took the top job of city manager in

2003. “I got into cities early in my career and haven’t looked back,” he laughed. “I see Escondido as a great place to raise a family. I hope it continues to grow … and hopefully I’ve been a small part of that. I hope it’s a better place than when I started here, and I think it is.” The two toughest obstacles he faced while in public service came in the fallout of two major recessions, the first in 1989 and the second in 2008. Phillips said the first recession was an unexpected blow to the city and himself, although he was prepared in 2008 to handle a drastic shift in the local economy and city operations. “Fortunately, I was a little

more aware when the second came along and acted fairly quickly and Escondido did a pretty good job of getting through that one,” he added. With the bad, though, comes the good. Of his greatest success, the longtime staple in the city said it is the people in City Hall he is most proud to claim as his legacy. He said a great staff is in place and continues to do right by the residents of Escondido. “I think my biggest contribution is trying to make sure we have good, qualified people to continue to run the place and run it well,” Phillips explained. “My job is to make sure we run as an efficient job as we can, I think we’ve done that. My biggest success is the people I leave behind. We have a

really good team of people here in Escondido.” As for Phillips, though, he said the grind of public service has become more difficult to handle, which is why he opted to step away. Although the daily duties of keeping the city in order will be gone, Phillips will continue to live and take on a new adventure. His latest gig involves a boutique winery, Keys Creek, he started with his wife and son three years ago. Phillips’ outfit was licensed last year and will now be the focus of his post-public life. “I need a rest from that and have other interests I want to focus on,” he said. “I want to make sure I focus on more things I can do with my family.”

Palomar College narrows superintendent search to two By Aaron Burgin

Resource Center is ‘response’ to county homelessness By Steve Puterski

ENCINITAS — Nestled along Second Street in Encinitas, the Community Resource Center is gearing up for one of its largest events of the year. The organization, which provides numerous services to low-income families, battered women, the disabled and the homeless, is forging ahead toward its Holiday Baskets Program from Dec. 18 to Dec. 20 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Its army of volunteers for the event hovers at more than 2,000, according to Rebecca Palmer, director of programs at CRC. “Through our Holiday Baskets Program, we served 1,700 families,” Palmer said. “There is usually a multiplier of three because of the number of people in a family. It’s a full shopping experience.” But while the center preps for the annual event, its focus centers on giving those who have fallen on hard times a way back on their feet. One of its missions is to protect battered women and their children and place them into a non-violent environment. Victims are placed in undisclosed locations, while receiv-

ing the tools necessary to break free from domestic violence. Additionally, the center also uses its reach to provide numerous services to the homeless along with lending a helping hand to those on the verge of losing their homes. “It’s bringing those resources to people and depending on the family and the individual, which of those really are an element of safety, stability and self-sufficiency,” Palmer said. The group assists with tax returns, housing opportunities, medical assessments and mental health referrals and much more. And while the CRC is a valuable asset, its mission is often lost among the community. Palmer said they are neither the solution nor the source of the issues among its clientele, but rather a service focusing on the safety, stability and self-sufficiency for the people who need it most. “The CRC is to provide pathways for people,” she explained. “We are part of San Diego’s response to homelessness. We are getting people job ready. We are a resource to the community and a resource for

the community.” The CRC, though, does rely on support from the county and the community through grants and donations to aid its clients. As for the recent announcement of $10 million provided to combat mental illness from the county, Palmer said the CRC will not directly receive funds, but it will provide an additional resource for people in need of housing. She said the CRC refers severe cases of mental health to one of its partners who posses the capacity to treat those people. “We are not a direct recipient of those funds,” Palmer added. Miranda Mendez, CRC’s social services program manager, said the use of various programs and steps leads to solutions. Clients begin with case management to figure out the best path then can navigate through the center’s options. “We have programs related to self-sufficiency,” Mendez said. “We look at the assessment figuring out where they’ve been, where they want to go and how to help them get to that point.” For some, it means preparing to enter the

workforce through resume building, interview skills and other aspects of landing a job. In addition, the CRC also provides financial literacy services (in English and Spanish) to aid individuals with the taxes and budgets. With a grant from the IRS, the CRC provided 650 tax returns for people last year. Of course, one of the center’s primary focuses is their Residential Assistance Program, which helps homeless and those would have been served with 3-day eviction notices. The CRC provides counsel and avenues to find ways to for its clients to pay rent and also finding solutions to purchase food without losing their home. “As our clients are working with their case manager, they are able to go once a week to get food,” Mendez added. “The hope is they don’t have to make the decision to pay rent or get groceries.” Also, the group reaches out to the youth population through the Safe Dates Curriculum at two local high schools concerning teen dating and preventing domestic violence.

SAN MARCOS —Palomar College has narrowed its nationwide search for a new president to two. The board announced this week that the two finalists to succeed Robert P. Deegan, who retired in June, are Gregory Anderson, a vice president at Cañada College in Redwood City and Lynn Neault, a vice chancellor with the San Diego Community College District. Palomar’s board of trustees will interview the finalists Nov. 4 and the finalists with participate in one of two public forums Nov. 6 at the Howard Brubeck Theatre on the campus grounds. Neault’s forum will begin at 9:30 a.m. and Anderson’s will begin a 10:45 a.m. Both hour-long forums will include a question-and-answer session where the public will be able to pose written questions to the candidates. Anderson, in his position of vice president of instruction, leads transfer, basic skills, career technical education, equity initiatives, online learning, and academic support programs. Before Cañada College, he was a dean at De Anza College, where he also taught for seven years and served as academic senate president. Anderson has a doctorate in higher education from the University of Southern California, a master’s degree from the School for International Training,

and two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Wisconsin. Neault, the vice chancellor of Student Services for the San Diego Community College District, is responsible for providing leadership for the implementation of new programs and services for student success, enrollment management, state reporting, compliance with state and federal laws and regulations, policy development, oversight of student records, as well as management of the student information system. She has served in this capacity for almost 25 years. In 2013-14, she served as interim president of San Diego City College. Neault has a doctorate in educational leadership, a master’s degree in public administration, and a bachelor’s degree from San Diego State University. Palomar College’s presidential search officially began in December 2014, two months after Deegan announced his intention to retire effective June 30, 2015. The finalists were identified through a pool of applicants that were initially screened and interviewed by a search committee composed of representatives of college constituent groups. Adrian Gonzales, who formerly held a vice president/ assistant superintendent title at Palomar, has served as interim superintendent since July 1.

Encinitas density bonus project facts and figures By Doug Fiske

New water battle pits pot vs. fish California Focus By Thomas D. Elias

s the state moves toward taxing marijuana growers for the first time, those same growers also are starting to face restrictions on water use, just like farmers of more conventional crops. One reason is that the water consumption of pot farms has caused serious depredations of salmon and trout runs in several Northern California streams, most notably the Eel River and its tributary streams in the so-called “Emerald Triangle” of Mendocino, Humboldt and Trinity counties. Marijuana has long been the largest cash crop in that region. It’s not that a single cannabis plant is much more thirsty than other crops. One plant, according to many reports, can take anywhere from six to 15 gallons per day, about as much as a corn plant and not nearly as much as it takes to produce, say, a single one-pound beefsteak or the denim needed to make a pair of jeans. But when the estimated 30,000 pot growers in the area — most claiming to grow only medicinal marijuana — are done watering on any typical day, they have often used more than 720,000 gallons of water. One question might be, “And for what?” The detrimental mental and motivational effects of regular pot smoking are at least as wellknown and well-researched as the medical and palliative benefits on the positive side of the weed. But while virtually all other water users in California have suffered drought-related cutbacks over the last year, the often-clandestine nature of pot farming has left it without similar restrictions. This may be about to end. For the first time, a

system of regulating medical marijuana growers statewide was signed into law this fall. That came after Republican George Runner, an ultraconservative former state senator now serving on the state’s tax-administration Board of Equalization, opined that California should levy an excise tax on medipot, and use the money to fight marijuana-related crimes, like poaching on public lands and draining streams dry. Some streams have dried up in part because of drought, but also because many growers pump water regularly to large storage tanks which have lately dotted the landscape in some rural areas. They supply water for terraced planting

and insects enter the food chain after being eaten by birds. Enter the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, whose jurisdiction runs north from Marin County to the Oregon state line. Calling it a “first step” toward protecting water resources, that board voted 5-1 in late summer to compel growers to register their operations and operate with environmental responsibility. That could mean restrictions on water use, as well as protecting streams and wildlife from contamination. The new regulations, billed as a pilot program that will spread to the rest of the state if successful,

In this battle of fish vs. pot, it’s clear the weed is winning for now... that has produced erosion into streams, creating other problems. One reason there are no controls: The Emerald Triangle features thousands of acres owned by timber companies and other large property holders who rarely, if ever, patrol their holdings. So pot growers brazenly squat on the land, often setting booby-traps in their immediate vicinity and bringing in crews of undocumented laborers from Central America. Nicaragua is reportedly a major source of such labor. One result is that fish runs essential to survival of coho salmon and steelhead trout can end as young fish are left high and dry, literally fish out of water. Plus, growers often use pesticides and rat poisons with little regard for whether they drain back into stream beds and future water supplies, or for whether poisoned animals

don’t aim to arrest growers and in fact provide ways for them to screen their identities from officers out to enforce federal laws still outlawing all pot production. “We are not endorsing marijuana cultivation” one board member said. But the board is officially recognizing widespread growing which often disregards county-set limits on the number of medipot plants one person may raise. In this battle of fish vs. pot, it’s clear the weed is winning for now, but at least the plight of the salmon and trout has been officially recognized for the first time. What happens if a ballot initiative fully legalizes recreational marijuana next year? That’s anyone guess. Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com. For more Elias columns, visit californiafocus.net

The state density bonus law encourages developers to build more units per acre than local zoning allows, ostensibly for the sake of including one or more affordable units. For example, a proposed Leucadia density bonus project would be nine houses, including one affordable unit, where local zoning would allow only five. For Encinitas density bonus projects, “affordable” means the state/ federal very low and low-income categories apply. For a household of four, very low income is

$41,300, while low income is $66,100. Both are maximums. To rent a three-bedroom unit, very low-income earners can pay $949 per month, and low-income earners can pay $1,139. To buy that unit, very low-income earners can pay $949, while low income earners can pay $1,328. To date, there have been 18 density bonus projects completed in Encinitas. Nine more are far enough along in the process not to be affected by the new density bonus ordinance.

Those 27 projects contain 573 units. Of those, 49 (8.6 percent) are or will be affordable. Of the 38 affordable units completed and occupied, 35 are rented and three were sold. How many of the 11 affordable units in the nine pending projects will be rented or sold is not yet known. City staff provided the facts and figures cited above in response to a public records request. Doug Fiske has been an Encinitas resident for 46 years.

Fighting breast cancer and insurance companies By Madison Lang

This is breast cancer month and I just happen to have been working in a local business that furnishes prostheses and bras for women that have had mastectomies. I have been in this position for three years and I have first-hand information from women that have told me their stories about fighting breast cancer and dealing with their insurance companies. I get particularly upset when women come in and tell me they didn’t know they were allowed bras and or prostheses. Especially when you consider they were making their monthly insurance premiums. Last week a young woman, in her late-20s, came in and while I was fitting her she shared that

for the last four years she’s been using socks, in her old bras, to create breasts. She said neither her doctor nor her insurance company told her that she was entitled to two prostheses or bras. After I helped her, I pulled our next patient’s file and was looking through it to see what sizes she had worn in the past. And there written in her file in 2010 the words: “Patient didn’t know she was eligible for a prosthesis or bras.” I can even attest to this issue personally. I had Kaiser for five years and it wasn’t until the third year of paying my premiums to the tune of $400 a month the first year and ending at $600 a month the last year, that I was told I could get three bras a year.

It wasn’t my doctor or my insurance company that informed me of this — it was the person that preformed my mammogram that year. So listen up ladies! The rules can change yearly, but for the last three years they’ve remained the same. Medicare allows three bras every six months. United Health Care and other HMOs allow two bras per year. Kaiser allows three bras per year. Most PPOs allow two bras per year. All insurance allows a new prosthesis every two years. If there is a woman in your life that needs these products please share this information. Madison Lang is an Oceanside resident.

$2.5 million grant supports program to help men be better fathers By Promise Yee

REGION — Vista Community Clinic (VCC) recently received a $2.5 million federal grant to restart its Dad's Club, which helps low-income men become self-sufficient and be better fathers. The program is set to begin in July 2016. It will provide dads with a case management worker who will help them set goals and connect with needed resources to beef up work force and relationship skills. The idea is provide wrap-around services that will help fathers address all the challenges they face. “From our work of more than 40 years with low-income populations in the area we know there is a great need for holistic, wraparound services for dads to succeed in the work force and in fatherhood,” Fernando Sañudo, VCC CEO, said. Workshops will be held on communication, conflict resolution, employment training and engaging with family.

Individual referrals will be given to mental health, substance abuse and trauma services. VCC will also help fathers with health insurance, CalFresh and CalWORKS applications. “We will provide parenting and relationship workshops in a group setting or individually,” Silvia Alcantar, VCC program manager, said. “Job training will be determined using a Work Readiness Assessment. Referrals to community partners for employment and/or training will be made, with follow up completed until goals are met.” Nannette Stamm, VCC’s chief health promotion officer, said low-income dads face the dual challenge of striving to become better parents and making ends meet. Pairing them with a one-on-one case management worker streamlines the process of connecting with needed education and referrals to reach their goals. The New Pathways for

Fathers and Families grant will fund the program for five years. An estimated 800 men who are fathers, grandfathers or paternal family figures will be served. The average time men

are in the program is one year. VCC will work with County of San Diego HHSA, North County Solutions for Change, North County Career Center, North County Lifeline, Community Hous-

ing Works, Vista Unified School District, Oceanside Unified School District, Vista Adult School, North County Career Center, Center for Community Solutions and Interfaith Community Services to provide dads with

needed services. VCC ran a similar program from 2007 to 2012 and served more than 600 men. VCC has five locations in Vista and Oceanside, which provide medical services and health education.

Sheriff’s to host ‘Guns for Giftcards’ event By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — The San Diego Sheriff’s Department is giving people an incentive to turn in unwanted guns, which they in turn will permanently take off of the streets. The department on Saturday morning will host a Gun for Gift Cards event at the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station. People can turn in their guns, no questions asked, and receive a gift card that can be redeemed at a Walmart. The Sheriff’s Department paid for the gift cards with $25,000 in as-

set forfeiture funds, and Oceanside and Carlsbad police departments contributed $2,500 and $1,000 in asset forfeiture funds, respectively. Sheriff’s officials will give away a $50 gift card for rifles and shotguns, $100 for handguns and $150 for assault-type weapons, with no more than $200 in gift cards per vehicle. All guns must be unloaded and placed in the trunk of your car, and a deputy will give instructions on the next step. All guns collected at the event will be destroyed. The guns for gift cards program has previously taken more than

1,000 guns off of the streets in two separate events: 208 guns were collected in a May 2013 event in San Marcos and 894 were given away in a November 2013 program in Encinitas. The giveaway runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 182 Santar Place in San Marcos. County Sheriff Bill Gore will be on hand to discuss the giveaway. The event is being held in partnership with Oceanside, Carlsbad, Cal State San Marcos, CHP, Escondido, Palomar College Police, as well as the District Attorney’s Office.

ATF to assist in San 50-year sand replenishment project OK’d Marcos fire investigation By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — A team of federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms have been brought in to assist local authorities with the investigation into a three-alarm fire that leveled part of a San Marcos RV dealership on Oct. 11. The Sunday afternoon fire destroyed the parts and service center, as well as six to eight recreational vehicles, at Holland Motor Homes, which is located near San Marcos Boulevard and state Route 78. The damage was estimated at more than $4 million. Fire officials said no cause has been determined, and at this time they are not even calling the fire suspicious in nature. “We come with a blank slate, we make sure we don’t have some preconceived notion about what is going to happen,” said Steven Cordle, the ATF team supervisor. Cordle said the ATF national team responds to large and small commercial fires, it just depends

on if a local agency needs the assistance. Most recently, a national response team assisted Los Angeles Fire Department officials investigating a major apartment complex fire in downtown Los Angeles. He was a member of the ATF team that responded to the major fertilizer plant explosion in West Texas in 2013. Local authorities requested assistance from the ATF’s national response team after it was determined the size, scope and complexity of the blaze was too much for local resources. “It was way beyond our resources,” said Sheriff’s Sgt. Greg Hampton of the San Diego Sheriff’s Department’s Bomb Arson Unit. San Marcos Fire Department initially reached out to the eight-investigator sheriff’s unit for assistance. “If it were just the eight of us working on this fire, we’d be working it until Christmas,” said Hampton, who said he could see TURN TO FIRE ON 16

REGION — Despite concerns from residents during their Oct. 14 meetings, City Council members in Solana Beach and Encinitas unanimously approved a modified version of a sand-replenishment project that will create 35 acres of new beach area during the next 50 years. The two cities have been working with the Army Corps of Engineers for about 15 years to reduce coastal storm damage to more than eight miles of beach beginning at the mouth of Batiquitos Lagoon in Encinitas and stretching south to include almost the entire 1.7-mile Solana Beach coastline. In addition to preventing bluff-top homes from falling into the ocean, the sand replacement is expected to improve recreational opportunities, decrease the need for sea walls and increase safety by reducing the threat of bluff failures caused by wave action. From January through September of this year Solana Beach marine safety officers have had to warn more than 6,600 people to stay away from the bluffs. Original plans were to deposit 680,000 cubic yards of sand in Encinitas for an average added beach width of 100 feet, with replenishment every five years. Solana Beach had an initial placement of 960,000 cubic yards to create 200 feet of beach, with replenishment every 13 years. Based on input from environmental advocates and surfers, Encinitas will now have an initial placement volume of 340,000 cubic yards of sand for an added average beach width of 50 feet. Its southern neighbor will receive 700,000 cubic yards to create an average beach width of 150 feet. Encinitas will be replenished every five years with 220,000 cubic yards of sand. Solana Beach will

receive 290,000 cubic yards every 10 years. Sand will be dredged from three offshore sites. Placement plans were adjusted to avoid adding sand to Table Tops, a popular surf spot in Solana Beach. At the request of the San Diego chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, additional surf monitoring was added to the project as a mitigation measure. Representatives from the group, including Solana Beach residents, said they prefer the modified plans but still have concerns about the effect the project may have on surf conditions. “We participated in this process all the way through and we really appreciate that,” said Jim Jaffee, a Solana Beach resident, longtime surfer and co-chairman of Surfrider’s Beach Preservation Committee. “We really appreciate the things that were done to augment the project, which is moving it away from Table Tops,” he added. “We reduced the volumes of sand, which is a good thing, too, but it’s still drastically

more sand than has ever been placed in the area.” Jaffee said Surfrider installed surf monitoring cameras in Solana Beach and Encinitas. He wanted to know what was in the project “tool kit” to mitigate problems if the monitoring efforts show damage to surf conditions. “We’re kind of caught in a big pickle here though because this project is predominantly to protect the property,” he said. “It’s been mentioned that there’s going to be adaptation if something happens that’s negative (to surf conditions) but it’s not clear what’s going to happen. “And what if there’s a conflict within the elements of the project?” he asked. “Which one’s going to win? “We’re willing to cooperate with whoever does this monitoring and we’re willing to work on a tool kit,” he added. Solana Beach resident Tracy Richmond also said the environmental impact report “doesn’t provide any meaningful discussion for the preservation of surf quality.”

“I know that seems to be a rather insignificant issue but as a surfer it isn’t for me,” he said. “I’m concerned that the sand quality and size is not compatible with the area so that it’s not going to preserve and form the proper ridges for quality surf. It also is going to cause a problem with the beach profile.” Chuck Mesa, chief of coastal engineering with the Army Corps of Engineers, said the borrow site closest to Solana Beach will be used to dredge sand for placement in that city so the sand grains should be the same size, or perhaps bigger, which will provide better conditions. “By grain size alone we should have either no impact or possibly improved surf break,” Mesa said. “We have committed to monitoring surfability before and after the project. “We will be working with you, we promise, because it’s important to us,” he added. “Surfable waves are a valuable resource.” Mesa said the Army Corps is also committed to a rigorous adapted management program, which means during the next renourishment cycle the timing and placement locations can all be modified to avoid significant impacts to surfing. Approval in Encinitas came with some hesitation by several council members. Catherine Blakespear, Lisa Shaffer and Tony TURN TO SAND ON 16

feel a little like the Blue Fairy in “Pinocchio,” minus the cool wings and sparkly aura. All around me are boxes of shiny, unread new books just waiting for me to bring them to life. Our district somehow found money for some new library books and I now have the first five boxes of them. This brings the love/ hate task of doing the barcoding, spine-labeling and cataloging needed to get them out on the shelves. Dewey is a stern taskmaster. You remember Dewey, as in the Dewey Decimal System, right? I didn’t think so. You may have a passing acquaintance with his system, but I am approaching that somewhat scary stage

of librarianship where I am tempted to bring it up at cocktail parties. “Did you know that flying lemurs are 599.3 but bats are 599.4? Yes. I was astonished too. What was Dewey thinking, the silly boy?” Slogging through all the minutiae of getting each book prepped and into my computer files can be daunting, but it is all balanced out by the occasional opportunity to read them. Every now and then, I lose my self-control and find myself lost in a book when I should be moving more efficiently through the stack of waiting tomes. But getting first look at new books is one of the major perks of the job. It is tougher now to manage it, since my kids are grown and gone, but I’m not giving it up without a fight.

Weber stresses lifelong ‘social justice’ commitment in speech bill to gain the approval of Gov. Jerry Brown, who eventually signed the bill into law. “I can tell you the battle for 953 was enormous,” Weber said. “When you have right on your side, and you have strong advocates in your community, it becomes something that people can’t deny.” Weber likened the constant struggle for social justice and equality to gardening. The rare flowers — equality, justice and freedom — require constant maintenance, while the weeds — ignorance, hatred and discrimination — grow best in neglect. “If you feel that you accomplished it this year and you can go off and do something next year, no, this is a life journey,” Weber said. “If not, you will wake up and say where did this crap come from?

SAN MARCOS — The fight for social justice and equality is a “lifelong struggle,” but a rewarding one, Assemblywoman Shirley Nash Weber said to a group of people gathered for Cal State San Marcos’ annual Diversity Luncheon. Weber, a longtime educator who was elected in 2012 to represent the 79th Assembly District, was the keynote speaker of the university’s All People’s Luncheon, a celebration of the university’s commitment to diversity and social justice hosted by the CSUSM Office of Diversity, Educational Equity and Inclusion. “It is important that you have a diversity committee and focus on issues of social justice,” Weber said. “It is an important issue not just for you while you are here, but it is an important issue for your life. “If you decide this is something for you, it is not a part-time job, it is a lifelong struggle to create justice and equality and opportunity for everybody,” Weber said. Weber said she didn’t expect to champion issues of social justice when she arrived in Sacramento in 2013, but has done exactly that during her first two terms, including co-authoring bills that informed ex-offenders of their voting rights, and the landmark Assembly Bill 953, which requires law enforcement agencies to collect and disclose basic information on police stops in response to growing concerns about racial profiling and police misconduct. Weber said she and the bill’s supporters faced intense opposition from law enforcement agencies statewide, fellow lawmakers who urged her to water down the

ty, and dignity was in everything we did.” University President Karen Haynes, who spoke before Weber, said that the issues of equality and social justice have been at the forefront of her tenure as president. “At Cal State San Marcos, diversity and inclusion are not only central to our identity as a university, but have been a strategic priority here for over a decade,” university President Karen Haynes said. Haynes on Wednesday took that commitment a step further with her awarding of the inaugural President’s Student Champion Award, given to a student who exemplified inclusive excellence and diversity. The winner, senior Thiana Ruiz Alegria, said she was inspired by Weber and Haynes remarks to continue her fight for social justice. “What she spoke is the truth,” said Alegria, who

helped create the Latino Student Center, which is aimed at assisting Hispanic students stay in college and provide a safe haven for undocumented immigrant students. “And I am hoping that I can continue to be a leader in my community and continue to help find ways to help communities that are under-represented.”

A taste of Guam at the Guahan Grill

recent column detailed my food experience at a Chargerâ€™s game that included one of the more festive and delicious pregame tailgating experiences Iâ€™ve experienced the with clan who turned out to be from the Guahan Grill. I first noticed the oysters on the grill but soon found out they had a nice variety of grilled and smoked meats and veggies going on as they sent me on my way with a full plate. Besides the food, there was a real family and community vibe among these folks, and it all centered around food. I got to talking with Carlos Quichocho and when I found out he owned a restaurant it was decided a Lick the Plate adventure and column were in order. Before I get into the food, and there is a lot to cover with regards to that, Iâ€™d like to present a brief look at this island nation that I really knew little about prior to this encounter. Folks from Guam are often referred to as Chamorro, and are the indigenous peoples of the Mariana Islands, which are politically divided between the United States territory of Guam and the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Micronesia. Chamorro populations exist in several U.S. states including Hawaii, California, Washington, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, and Nevada. Locally, there is a stronghold in the Oceanside area of North County that has a heavy contingent of Pacific Islanders that can include those from Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia, which includes Guam. As with most regional food, much of Chamorro cuisine is influenced by various cultures. There are various types of sweet or savory dishes including empanada that is of Spanish influence and pancit, a noodle dish with Filipino

roots. Rice is cultivated in Guam and red rice made with achoti is a distinct staple food that strongly identifies Chamorro cuisine among the many dishes of fellow Pacific island cultures. And for your random fact of the day, Guam has the highest per capita consumption of Tabasco sauce in the world, equaling almost two 2-ounce bottles per person per year. Pull that one out at your next foodie cocktail party. Tabasco and Spam united to create Hot & Spicy Spam, which debuted on Guam. Cans of Hot & Spicy Spam sold throughout the world feature a recipe for Spam Fried Rice from Guambased restaurant Shirleyâ€™s. As most know, Spam is also very big in the Hawaiian Islands and there are some distinct similarities between Hawaiian plate lunch and many of the dishes from Guam and at Guahan Grill.

The appetizers at Guahan make me very happy. From the Chicken Kelaguen which is chopped barbequed chicken mixed with lemon, green onions, hot pepper and tortillas to my beloved Poke to Lumpia, Empanadas and Spam Rolls I could easily make a dinner from a sampling of appetizers. The barbeque section is basically your choice of chicken, pork spare ribs, or beef short ribs paired with items from the appetizer section, rice and sides that include cucum-

ber salad, stir fry vegetables, or green salad. The local favorites section is where things get more creative and evoke more of the flavors of Guam. Chamorro Fried Rice can be done with Spam, chicken or beef. Guahan Noodles is Udon style noodles with a mix of veggies and choice of protein. The Chamorro style ribs are soaked in their special marinade then deep fried, a unique twist on ribs Iâ€™ve not experienced but as you might imagine, it works. And Iâ€™m shocked that I missed this one, the Chamorro style fried chicken â€” marinated deep fried thighs give me another reason to make another trip back to this place. There are also several dishes that utilize coconut milk including the Beef Short Rib Estufao and Shrimp Kadu. Wahoo is available grilled or baked along with a Spam and Portuguese sausage bowl and a crispy sweet and spicy chicken dish. They have what they refer to as Mainland Grub and some salads but thatâ€™s not why Iâ€™m going to Guahan Grill. Much to my dismay, they were out of their special dessert, the Banana Doughnuts, yet another reason for a repeat visit. Beer and wine is available and they have lunch specials daily. This place is worth checking out and be sure to arrive hungry and try as much as you can. Itâ€™s good stuff from a great bunch of folks. Check them out at 4259 Oceanside Blvd, Oceanside.

hree months before, the idea of a journey to the ultimate wine country â€” some Sonoma and mostly Napa Valley â€” came into the planning stage. It was going to be harvest time, a difficult time at best to get the attentions of wine makers and managers of wineries, but critical to what I wanted: Access to the truth about this yearâ€™s harvest and what we could expect from 2015. The millions of bottles from the more than 500 wineries will start coming to market next year. In mid-September I flew to the lovely little â€œSnoopyâ€? airport, the Charles Schulz, just above Santa Rosa, an hour and 20 minute flight from San Diego. A rental without wait quickly got me to the pris-

tine village of Sonoma. After a Pinot Noir tasting at the cottage of Walt Wines in the Plaza â€” that Iâ€™ll bring up in another issue â€” my destination in Sonoma was the critically acclaimed wine/food center of excellence, Carneros Bistro. This beautifully designed restaurant is centrally located in the Lodge at Sonoma, with hotel, restaurant, wine bar, spa and shops.

Logo revealed for the 2016 fair By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — The logo for the 2016 San Diego County Fair was revealed at the Oct. 13 meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board of directors. It features elements from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass,” steampunk, cosplay and makers, the four genres that were combined to create next year’s theme, “Mad About the Fair.” Design elements include the Mad Hatter’s hat from the classic children’s novel and machinery from steampunk, which incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by industrial steam-powered equipment. Board President Fred Schenk said in past years the logo went through a few modifications before it was revealed to the public. But this year there were no recommendations for improvements, he said. The 2016 fair is expected to be “a weird, whacky and whimsical experience

Natalie Prass: ‘An artist you need to know’ By L. Kent Wolgamott

Natalie Prass is being hyped as one of “Rolling Stone” magazine’s “Ten New Artists You Need To Know” and one of Time Magazine’s “15 Artists To Watch in 2015” But the 29-year-old is far from an overnight sensation. “Natalie Prass,” the album, was primarily recorded in late 2011 and 2012. For various reasons, it didn’t come out until January. That was a lot of waiting for a record to be finished and released. So, did Prass ever think, “To hell with this, I’m done?” “You better believe it,” Prass said in a recent phone interview. “I’ve experienced every single emotion I think anybody can with a piece of work. I didn’t know what was happening. Right before I got hired for Jenny’s band, I thought ‘maybe I’m not cut out to be a musician.’ That was a very scary time for me. Music is all I’ve ever done. I come from the most normal family. I’ve always been the oddball. I got to thinking ‘Maybe I am supposed to work in an office or something. Then I got hired for Jenny’s band and it just recharged me.” That would be Jenny Lewis, the former Rilo Kiley singer, who hired Prass to play keyboards, which she did for more than a year — right up to the release of the album she’d almost tried to forget. “I just grew more and more distant from the record,” she said. “I purposely put it away, so I wouldn’t get upset… I thought ‘Maybe I’ll be old someday and show it to my kids and say ‘this is what I did.’ I’m happy I got

back into it and kind of got my feet moving again in a positive direction.” Positive is an understatement of the reaction to “Natalie Prass,” a record that has led Prass and her music to be compared to Dusty Springfield, Joni Mitchell, Joanna Newsom, Dionne Warwick, southern soul, California singer-songwriter rock and even Pharrell Williams. That’s a mixed bag and evidence that even professional pigeon holers can’t tag Prass’s music as anything but her own. “I’ve worked so hard on that my whole life,” she said. “I’ve never wanted to be like anybody else. I’m me. I’ve spent hours listening to everything I could, playing and singing and knowing my strengths — what I can do and what I can’t and trying to go as far as I can go. It’s really important to me to be myself.” Prass, who studied at the Berklee College of Music

in Boston before transferring to the songwriting program at Middle Tennessee State, has crafted a record of classic pop songs that are rich with horns and strings and sung in her pristine “Disney princess” voice. But the beautiful music is offset by oft-downbeat, dark lyrics filled with insecurity and the crumbling of lost love. “I’ve always liked that kind of contrast,” she said. “‘Band of Gold,’ that’s an upbeat song and the wedding ring is gone. I’m a hyper emotional person and that’s what comes out of me. I try as hard as I can to write from a personal place and be genuine.” Prass and Kyle Ryan, with whom she wrote most of the album, had an amicable split, so much so that she recently returned to Nashville to write with Ryan, who plays in Kasey Musgraves’ band. For now, she is working with a three-piece band.

Taking horns and strings on the road isn’t close to practical for an emerging artist. “We only have horns when it makes sense financially or I want to bite the bullet and do it anyway,” she said. “ It’s expensive. This is the first time I’ve been able to afford a band. “What we’re doing with four people now is pretty amazing. It’s really come together,” Prass said. “We’re like a real band. It’s exciting. We play differently every night. We vamp off each other and its really, really good.” Most who have experienced Prass’s music have likely done so through a HomeAway TV commercial that uses her song, “It is You.” “That ad is helping me pay my band,” she said. “Because of that ad, I can go on the road and everybody can have a hotel room.” Prass was in the middle of a rare day off when we talked. “It’s been crazy,” she said. “Honestly, up until four days ago, I hadn’t stopped moving for about two years. I have the week off now. It’s been a little weird. My body feels strange. I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m doing a lot of cooking and enjoying this time that has been very rare.” But she knew that time off was ending. She and the band were headed out on the road for more touring. She’s got some new songs to record — which she’s testing at her shows. But that won’t come for while. “We’re going to be out there playing for people,” she said. “I really do like it out there.”

After some reservation on my part, he explained the personal ingredients he had infused with such dishes as: Wood Grilled Octopus, Sonoma Foie Gras and BBQ Pork Belly.

However, the mission of the center is to get veterans back on their feet and become productive members of society. “I think that this new center will allow veterans to really gain self sufficiency and stability and recover from their hospital stays in a more welcoming environment,” Kosec said. The Recuperative Care Program, meanwhile, is one of five in the country providing those services for veterans. Kosec said the program has trained staff to counsel their clients for a variety of issues from physical ailments to mental health and recovery. In short, the center allows its clients to start fresh. “They cannot recover on the streets,” she added. “This center really provides

an essential opportunity to have not only have housing, but also have that nursing care during that critical time. They can get back on their feet and exit the program self sufficient with a permanent home.” The program also sports a 70 percent success rate. While the clients receive top care, the need for a new building was a priority, Kosec explained. Previously, Interfaith rented apartments to assist its clients, but the new center takes away the cost of rent. “By building this center, it’s a cost savings to the organization,” she said. “It also centralizes the program to make it stronger. It’s great we finally have this opportunity.” To donate to the program, visit Interfaith’s website at interfaithservices.org.

building, searching for potential clues that could lead to the fire’s origin. Meanwhile, the owners of the motor home company expressed gratitude to the first responders and the cities of Escondido and San Marcos for their swift action in extinguishing the fire, and helping them continue operating in the midst of the wreckage. The neighboring cities worked to find a suitable temporary site for Holland to operate its service center in Escondido, President Michael Dykstra said. Dykstra said the company was scheduled to sign the lease on Thursday and would be operating out of it.

“It’s a great win for us, because we have 11 guys sitting at home right now, and we are anticipating replacing tools and our equipment and getting up and running without interruption and this has afforded us the ability to do so,” said Hector Wilbur, the company’s vice president. More than 100 firefighters responded to the blaze, and two suffered minor injuries. City officials said the structure was not equipped with sprinklers, as its 1996 construction date preceded an ordinance that required commercial developments to have internal sprinkler systems.

proved just before the recession began. “Striking is the very last thing I want to do,” said Alyssa Sepinwall, a decorated history professor who spoke during the rally. “But the way the CSU system has treated faculty over the last 10 years is not right. Faculty salaries have remained flat, and their purchasing power has declined. “We believe in public education...but we shouldn’t have to do this at the cost of feeding our families,” Sepinwall said. Faculty members also called for a closing of the pay gap between teachers and

Kranz expressed concerns about the potential ecological impacts on the borrow sites. Several members of the public, including Leucadia resident and marine biologist Dennis Lees, said the project was flawed in that it doesn’t address the root cause of sand loss along the coastline and could potentially harm the ecosystems impacted by the dredging. “This is a Band-Aid solution,” Lees said. “It does not solve any of the real problems that we have with bluff security and protection of the San Elijo Strand.” A number of residents, including several coastal home and property owners, urged the city to approve the environmental impact report, which they said would provide protection for the coastal bluffs and their properties. “This is almost a mustdo project.

Among the visual illustrations used at the rally were large photos of several high-ranking administrators, including CSUSM President Karen Haynes, juxtaposed to smaller photos of professors. The size represented the salaries of the respective administrators and teachers. “How many students have been inspired...by an administrator,” Engen said. “We are the people that students see, and the ones who inspire them to work in their respective fields.” Several students on hand agreed with their professors’ takes on the situation, calling the gap in pay

between administrators and teachers too high. Emily Ramirez, a senior history major, said she has heard anecdotes of teachers having to work at multiple college campuses and are unable to have regular office hours because they are constantly on the run from one job to the next. “I understand if you want to structure the school system like a business, the managers will make more, but it doesn’t have to be as much as they are making right now,” Ramirez said. “Our education is at hand when they are not getting paid, and I think that sums it up.” The faculty strike vote will conclude Oct. 28.

warmer than normal. As a result, Stall said this season is “on par” with the 1997-98 season and may be stronger. “We are currently in a strong El Niño pattern, as far as ocean temperatures go,” Stall said. “We won’t see the strong atmospheric response for another month or two. When you have a strong El Niño, that typical results in a greater chance for above-normal precipitation.” Currently, Stropes said the city is in the planning stages with each department and various en-

tities such as the Carlsbad Unified School District to develop effective plans to ensure safety. “We are monitoring the reports out of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration),” she said. “We sort of have a good idea of where potential areas of flooding are. We are paying attention to the area charred by the Poinsettia Fire.” The city, meanwhile, will also post updates on its website, newsletter and social media platforms.

economic and public access benefits of this project cannot be understated,” said Jon Corn, a local attorney who represents coastal property owners. “It reduces the need for and the size of sea walls and is the only way to increase recreational opportunities on the beach.” As part of the approval, the Encinitas council insisted the Army Corps of Engineers and city staff monitor the sand collection sites for any potential water quality or ecological issues and report the results publicly. Solana Beach council members were more supportive. “This is a good project because it has the ability to create more sand,” Mike Nichols said. “Without the project a lot of these surf breaks are going to drown.” “It’s going to protect the homes. It’s going to offer a lot more recreational beach area,” Ginger Marshall said. “I won’t have to look at the tide chart to

walk the length of Solana Beach. I’m just really looking forward to having a beach at Solana Beach.” “The benefits of more sand in light of all of the climate change that we’re seeing and hopefully the reduction in armoring our shoreline far outweighs any of the uncertainties, which I’m glad to hear will be monitored very closely,” Mayor Lesa Heebner said. “This isn’t the end,” she added. “We’ve now got to start finding some money.” The total 50-year cost, which includes monitoring and mitigation, is estimated to be $100.1 million in Encinitas and $64.7 million in Solana Beach, with average annual costs of $2.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. More than half of the money is slated to come from federal funding. Sand placement is expected to begin in about two years. Aaron Burgin contributed to this report.

Oceanside veteran takes on 516 mile Ride 2 Recovery By Promise Yee

REGION — If you want to be inspired keep reading. Marine veteran Jamie Rihn is taking on the UnitedHealthcare California Ride 2 Recovery from Palo Alto to Los Angeles, not for herself, but to show fellow wounded military they can do it. On Oct. 18 Rihn started the 516mile challenge ride with about 200 fellow wounded military and some VIP civilian riders. The California Ride 2 Recovery is a seven-day cycle trip past scenic

shorelines and through small towns. Cyclists peddle through Carmel, San Simeon, Pismo Beach, Solvang and Ventura. Rihn said people often greet the pack of riders dressed in red, white and blue. She said her favorite moments are the road stops at schools and time on the road with her military brothers and sisters. “It takes a lot of mental strength to keep your mind in the game, and physical strength,” Rihn said. “The

main reason a lot of injured do it is it keeps our camaraderie together. To talk to somebody else that doesn’t know our story, but is going through the same thing.” Rihn first took on the annual challenge last year as part of her own recovery from post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. Rihn served in the Marines for 11 years and was deployed four times, three of which were combat TURN TO RIDE ON 18

Anyone for Halloween minus a Trick-or-Treat? The holidays without eggnog? Raider Week missing a turned-up lip? The Chargers play the eye-patch boys on Sunday and that’s always fun. These guys didn’t care for each other in the AFL. Then they switched to the AFC and things really got nasty. So why aren’t we, in the name of the Holy Roller, riled up about Oakland coming to Mission Valley? Oh, that’s right. Instead of combatants they’re business partners and yep, that’s hard to type. These Hatfields and McCoys — no, not Mike — once mixed like Kevin Faulconer and Mark Fabiani. Then the Chargers and Raiders shook hands, crossed their hearts and promised death to the NFL in San Diego and Oakland. They set their sights on a mega market, with its home base in Carson. While few think the 405 Fortress will

be constructed, if so, those two might be on its porch. They are colleagues in the almighty chase for the Los Angeles NFL dollars. While Rams owner Stan Kroenke wants to turn the City of Champions into the City of Concrete with his Inglewood palace, the Chargers and Raiders counter with Carson. So Raider Week has become chummy and we can’t imagine any Bolt, from Paul Lowe to LaDainian Tomlinson, wanting to rub an Oakland shoulder — with or without spikes on it. But that’s today’s NFL and could Sunday be the halfway mark of the final eight games in San Diego? That’s for the NFL’s smarty pants to decide. We’re sticking with what we kind of know: the Chargers (2-4) need a win. Theirs was a splendid effort in Green Bay and if it makes you smile, have at it. With it being their seventh loss in 10 games — dating back to last year — we wonder if that’s where rock met bottom? One hopes — or is that the AFC West cellar gaining on San Diego.

AN INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY TeamSix International, led by Mike Stevenson, play host to a team of international soccer players for a match at the YMCA in Encinitas on Saturday afternoon. In town for the 53rd annual IAM convention, the international team was comprised of soccer players from Colombia, Brazil, Peru and Chile. The match provided an opportunity for Carlsbad-based TeamSix to test their skills, and also deepen business relationships, with their international colleagues. During the match, both teams pushed the pace, and a back and forth battle was eventually settled when Stevenson beat his defender on the left, and then struck a vicious shot into the bottom right corner of the goal. Both teams left the field with smiles on their faces. Courtesy photo

She helps fellow military with rehabilitation by using cycling as the core activity to restore heath and purpose. “I’m one of the first people to get to work with a new patient that’s wounded,” Rihn said. “I help them rehabilitate using a bicycle like I did.” Rihn meets with wounded military weekly to train them from where they are physically and mentally. She also invites them on daily group rides. They can meet up and join a group ride whenever it fits into their schedule. Bikes are custom adapted to suit individual needs. Hand cycles, recumbent laid back bikes, tandems and standard road bikes are used by military men and women in the program. Rihn said one young that’s why he went 27-7 against them in 21 seasons; 8-2 with the Chargers. “The Silver and Black, the demons, the pirates, whatever you want to call those guys,’’ he once said. “That used to annoy the hell out of me and I wanted to beat them every chance I got.’’ The Wednesday of each Raider Week, Schottenheimer would let the media linger at practice.

Soccer a scoring opportunity for North County Northbound vince vasquez

ompetitive soccer is about to kick off in North County. Last month, the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), the largest soccer league in the United States, announced the newly-formed North County (NC) Battalion had joined the league as an expansion team. The team name pays tribute to the military personnel and firefighters stationed in North County, and their service in the community. NC Battalion is the latest addition to the NPSL Southwest Conference, which includes the Temecula FC, San Diego Flash, and FC Force (Bonita). In an interview with team owner Jason Barbato, I learned that NC Battalion was founded with a strong desire to bring soccer action closer to local fans. Supporting a team isn’t an easy task for North County soccer enthusiasts, whose options include driving two hours to see an LA Galaxy match, or crossing the border to watch the Tijuana Xolos play. The San Diego Flash played most of its home games last season at high schools located in Tierrasanta and southeast San Diego, which for this Carlsbad-based author averages 45 minutes to an hour in traffic. NC Battalion hasn’t announced a home stadium yet, but is currently reviewing a list of finalists. Barbato, a lifelong Southern California resident and “avid fan” of soccer, is optimistic about the team’s inaugu-

ral season. “We believe that there is a demand for this club in our community and the amazing reception we’ve received so far indicates that we are headed in the right direction,” he said. Asked how he would gauge success in the team’s first year, Barbato replied that a 500-plus fan attendance at home games and financially breaking even are his benchmarks, along with the team qualifying for a playoff berth. When the NPSL season gets underway next April, local team support isn’t likely to go unnoticed. The team branding makes a loud statement. Ditching the soft pastels and coastal-themed colors used by many organizations in North County, NC Battalion has instead adopted black and yellow as its official team colors. Crossed fire axes adorn the team badge. Combined with strong competitive play on the field, the team will be well positioned to grow its fan base and support across North County. I’ll check in again with Barbato shortly before the season opener for a progress report. I think this is the right time for a North County-branded soccer team to arrive. The potential and market interest seems to be here. In an area with over 750,000 residents (and growing), the team could help put North County on the map — and bring us closer together as a community. More work lays ahead for NC Battalion. Next, the team has to build their 23 man roster. High school players, collegiate, semi-pro and professional players are all welcome to showcase their skills for team eligibility. A final roster will be decided after several rounds of tryouts. The first team tryout for the 2016 season have been scheduled for Nov. 1, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Horizon Prep in Rancho Santa Fe. Those interested in team tryouts or learning more about NC Battalion can visit the team website, ncbattalion.com. Vince Vasquez is a think tank analyst in Torrey Pines, and soccer enthusiast. He is a Carlsbad resident.

Iwo Jima monument may find home at Pendleton CAMP PENDLETON — In recognition of the Marine Corps 240th anniversary and the 70th anniversary of the battle of Iwo Jima, Iwo Jima Monument West has announced its national initiative to raise funds to purchase an original Felix de Weldon sculpture of the Iwo Jima Flag raising, the representation for the famous flag-raising Marine Corps War Memorial statue in Arlington, Va., and transport it to Marine Corps Camp Pendleton.

al site that will reflect the monument’s importance to the Marine Corps and the nation as one of America’s greatest and most profound symbols of courage. If all goes according to plan, the West Coast will be home to one of the original Iwo Jima monuments by the end of 2016. To learn more and donate to this his-

torical project, please call 844-496-5462 or visit marinesoniwojima.com/memorial/. “This piece of history and symbol of patriotism is currently residing in a Connecticut storage facility after sitting on the USS Intrepid Museum for 12 years and having not sold at a NYC Bonham’s auction,”

said Iwo Jima Monument West Founder Laura Dietz. “Finally, we can give this monument an appropriate home where some 450,000 Marines traveled through on their way to the war in the Pacific. The 5th Marine Division, founded at Camp Pendleton, was tasked to take Mount Suribachi, while the 3rd and 4th Marines fought in other locations.” The 5-ton, 20 1/2-foot monument commemorates the planting of the American flag on Mount Suribachi in February 1945, during one of the deadliest battles in Marine Corps history. The 36-day battle of World War II injured over 26,000 people, of which 6,000 Marines and nearly 1,000 Navy-related personnel died. The historical moment of the U.S. flag raising was captured in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph and has since become the iconic image of the Marines of that era. “How soon can we get the monument to Camp Pendleton? This is a timely event. Many of the Marines who fought in Iwo Jima are dying, and I don’t know how long my buddies and I can hold on to see it at Pendleton,” said Iwo Jima survivor Sgt. Maj. Mike Mervosh. The project’s goal is to inspire Marines, generation after generation, and to evoke pride in all Americans as they see the memorial on a hillside facing the Pacific Ocean. The entire project for moving the Iwo Jima Monument from coast-to-coast, and building the memorial at Camp Pendleton is estimated around $10 million. Continued Dietz, “Unlike other memorials, every donor, irrespective of the size of the donation, will have their name, if they choose, on an electronic board for generations to see. Just as every human life is of equal value, so is the value of the goodwill of this nation to support such a historical pursuit. For the Marine Corps, this monument represents every Marine who has ever served and died in service for our nation. We want this memorial site to be a source of inspiration, education and pride for Americans for hundreds of years to come.”
