Friends and family remember Diana Cavender By Steve Puterski
ESCONDIDO — Faith, family, friends and horses. Or was it faith, horses, family and friends? Those touched by the life of Diana Cavender couldn’t tell whether she cared more for horses or the people close to her. More
than 100 friends and family came together last week at City Hall to remember the vivacious woman who was tragically killed when she was thrown from her horse. Cavander, 52, was a six-year veteran of the Escondido Mounted Posse when her horse was spooked and she struck her head
on the ground during the Lakeside Western Days Parade. Her funeral will be at 5 p.m. May 6 at Emmanuel Faith Community Church, 639 E. 17th Ave. “There aren’t words to convey what happened,” Escondido police chaplain Gunner Hansen said.
Her mother, Betty, and husband Joseph Manrique spoke during the service and each said Diana Cavender had a special connection with the animals she trained and rode and the people she crossed paths. “She was a daughter anyone would want,” her mother said.
“She was the love of my life.” Betty Cavander spoke of her daughter’s love of numbers as she started her own tax business after stints with H&R Block and an IRS agent. Diana Cavander graduated from San Diego State University TURN TO CAVENDAR ON 6
In San Marcos, Carmela’s Cucina closes doors, plans to relocate By Aaron Burgin
SAN MARCOS — A venerable and popular San Marcos Italian restaurant recently closed its doors after nearly 20 years at its Grand Avenue location, but the owners said they will be reopening in a new location in coming months. Carmela’s Cucina Italiana occupied the rustic, two-story
building tucked away in the rear of a shopping center off of Grand and San Marcos Boulevard for 19 1/2 years. However, the owners said, they could not reach an acceptable lease agreement with the new property owners, which forced them to leave the popular location. “They didn’t want to do any-
thing for me, they just wanted to take money,” said Zoran “Zoro” Lakovic, who co-owned the restaurant with his wife, Carmela. “It’s hard to leave, but we had to.” A message on the restaurant’s website explains the situation to visitors and reaffirms the plans to reopen in a location that both suits the owners and is in
fair proximity to the old location “Bear in mind, this will not happen next week, but it will happen. We will be back!” the message concludes. Carmela’s has been a fixture in the San Marcos dining community since it opened, rapidly gaining both popular and critical success. Most recently, the restaurant received a Cer-
tificate of Excellence from the travel website TripAdvisor.com and regularly was listed among the top Italian restaurants in the county. The restaurant also breathed life into the small shopping center, whose tenants include a massage parlor, yoga studio, quilt TURN TO CARMELA’S ON 5

Candidates trade barbs at supervisor forum By Steve Puterski
RANCHO SANTA FE — In a spirited and at times heated forum last month, candidates for District 3 of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors engaged in attacks along with highlighting their own achievements at Morgan Run Club & Resort. Perhaps the biggest question, though, was whether Democrat incumbent Dave Roberts would comment on the recent decision of the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office to not file criminal
charges stemming from a 2015 scandal and lawsuit involving three former employees. The former employees accused Roberts of, among other things, misusing county resources, creating a hostile work environment, having an unprofessional relationship, although not sexual, with a staffer, campaigning on county time and bribery. Roberts defiantly did not comment as to whom was on the hook for the $310,000 settlement, while Escondido Mayor Sam Abed and Encinitas Mayor

Kristin Gaspar, both Republicans, each jumped on the first-term supervisor’s actions. Roberts said personnel matters are confidential, but when pressed about the settlement, he said to ask the county council. “My district knows me well,” he said. “The Board of Supervisors made a decision (the settlement) that I strongly disagree with. Throughout all this, I have and will continue to provide leadership. This election is going to be about where the candidates

He questioned critics of his ethics, saying he has since been appointed numerous leadership roles within the board’s range, including the President of California State Association of Supervisors out of 276 candidates. “The DA put out a statement and the statement speaks for itself,” Roberts said. “I took immediate responsibility and I took immediate action. I now have a team that is working with me working each and every day to
solve the issues that the constituents want us to work (on).” Abed admitted the scandal was the reason for him joining the race, while Gaspar said it was a factor for her as well. On numerous occasions, Abed has railed against Roberts for the scandal and Thursday was no different. He said Roberts’ actions have broken the public’s trust and shows a lack of integrity. “I am the first one who called for Supervisor Roberts’ resignation because it’s not right to lose the public trust,” Abed said. “The taxpayers wrote a $310,000 check because he could not manage his staff.

She related it to her business, which she said would force her to close her doors. “It certainly represents poor management of the workplace no matter how it came to be,” Gaspar said. “It’s tough when you don’t have elected officials accounted for in that way.

Council chides mobile home park owner over issues San Marcos OKs cell tower along Nordahl No other park has these issues. By Steve Puterski
ESCONDIDO — A mobile home rent increase application drew the ire of several council members Wednesday due to reoccurring issues with the park’s management. Several residents, along with members of the council, chided the current park owner of Ponderosa Mobile Home Park on West Valley Parkway. Councilmen Ed Gallo and John Masson along with Councilwoman Olga Diaz said the continuing issues regarding water shut offs, broken items in the clubhouse, parking, and others, persuaded them to vote against the application. The Ponderosa Group L.P., which owns the park, applied for a 75
percent increase for the 2013-15 years, however, the council did approve a 37.5 percent increase to incentivize the owners to address the issues presented by the residents. The water has been shut off at least four times in the past several months. With no loop system the park must shut down the entire system, which, residents say, leaves them without water for up to 14 hours. It was the biggest concern for the three council members. “It’s an absolute health and safety issue with the water shut off,” Diaz said. “No other park has these issues. It’s disappointing we have to put pressure on you to fix those issues.” Another issue voiced
by residents was the months long process to repair the laundry room, which a guest of the park drove their car into. A park representa-
they said had countless broken amenities. “It’s easier to list the things that they don’t do anything about,” one resident said.

tive, though, said asbestos was discovered in the laundry room, extending the project’s completion date. The repairs were completed in April. In addition to the laundry room and water, residents took issue with the clubhouse, which
The park’s representative, however, said the ownership company has been working hard to revitalize the property after buying the park two years ago. She also said the community has been well maintained despite the lingering issues.
Masson said he was torn about whether to become more forceful with applications. He said if the application meets the requirements it should be approved, but the water issue was too hard to overlook. “I’m hearing many of the same things as we did two years ago,” he said. ”I don’t see how I can support a full increase with the reoccurring issues.” Conversely, the rent increase application from Westwinds Mobile Home Park breezed through the council. The council acknowledged the efforts by the park in keeping a clean and safe environment for its residents. The increase raises the average rent space to $450.35 with an average total increase of $8.27.
Friends ready to pedal across country for a cause
Sewer project expected to cause traffic delays
By Tony Cagala
By Steve Puterski
REGION — At the time of his retirement, Dr. Jim Quigley said he would like to stay active, spend more time hiking and backpacking even biking and doing some charity work. Now Quigley, 66, the retired doctor of 37 years is combining two of those wants — biking and charity work — into one major challenge. Quigley, a Carlsbad resident and former doctor at the North Coast Medical Center in Encinitas, along with his friend Kevin McCauley, will be starting Sunday off with their wheels in the Pacific Ocean before pedaling across the country until they reach Revere Beach, Mass., just a couple of months later. Quigley said he and McCauley are doing the ride for a number of similar reasons: The appeal of the adventure, the meeting of new people, a bucket list item — but Quigley also wanted to see if, at his age, he had enough left in the tank to accomplish it. “It’s kind of interesting to get to this point where you’re saying, ‘Do I still have it in the tank to do this kind of a ride.’ So that’s the physical challenge that I’m looking forward to overcome — the uncertainty of it,” he said. And yet still, there’s the bigger purpose of it all that they expect will keep them going — the continuation of the work by their friend Mike Ramirez to raise funds for research and finding a cure for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Ramirez passed away from ALS in 2012. “There’s no ‘we’re so tired we decided at Kansas this was a stupid idea,’” said McCauley, 65, an Encinitas resident and general contractor for the past 38 years. They’re in it to finish it, he explained. As a former patient of Quigley’s, McCauley said during visits they’d talk every so often about biking, but it was during a seven-day hiking trip in Peru that the two really began seriously talking about biking across

country. “It kind of morphed into the Peru trip and then it was solidified on a mountain bike ride when Jim said he was still thinking about it. And I said, ‘Absolutely, I want to do it,’” McCauley explained. Thirteen months of training later, the pair are leaving May 8 with a group comprised of an international cast of bikers; some are from England, others from Scotland and more from around the U.S. “I like seeing how far I can go, how far I can push myself,” Quigley said. “This is my Mount Everest.” Knowing that the ride will not only be challenging physically, but mentally, too, Quigley will rely on the concentration and focus he used to get him through medical school to help. “I do have a tendency to just go, go, go,” he said of the physicality of it, adding, “I think the mental side is the name of the game.” The body, he said, adjusts — gets stronger as the ride goes on. For McCauley his mental preparation has come through “a lot of Zen meditation,” he said. But he’s always been into playing sports, he added. “I’m just going to try and handle it — just considering myself as from a young kid — just being a jock…seeing at
65, how far deep into the pain cave I can go,” he said. “What we’re doing, I wish it were a little more extraordinary and very few people have ever done that,” McCauley said. “People have been riding across the country and riding across the country for causes for decades and decades. It’s nothing fresh or new. “We’re going to do it and see how we handle it,” he added. Perhaps the only thing that could get them off their bikes is the weather. By the time they reach the Midwest they’re anticipating lightning storms, even tornadoes. The two will be blogging about their experiences along the way, and for McCauley, he said his best thinking comes while he’s riding a bicycle. There’ll be some writing from his heart, he said, but he’s got what he calls a real “off-the-wall, zany sense of humor,” which will probably show up in his posts, too. “I think the blogs will show all kinds of emotional ups and downs that come with the experience,” he said. Visit their blogs at wheresmacnow.com or jqsbigadventure.com to follow them on their journey. The Coast News will be reprinting some of their blog posts periodically until June 24 when they’re expected to reach the East Coast.
ESCONDIDO — Construction on the city’s Southwest Sewer Replacement project will begin soon, with completion expected by March 24, 2017. An exact start date is unknown, although Director of Community Relations Joyce Masterson said crews “will mobilize on the site in a few weeks.” This project consists of replacing three lift stations with a singular gravity pipeline to convey flow to lift station No. 1. Work includes the installation of 8- and 12-inch sewer pipelines and several manholes over the threemile work area. The project extends from sewer lift station No.6 south of Felicita Road to Via Rancho Parkway, then continuing southeast to Sewer Lift Station No. 1. Motorists and cyclists should expect heavy delays — due to single lane travel — along Felicita Road (between Hamilton Lane and Via Rancho Parkway) and along Via Rancho Parkway (between Felicita Road and Interstate 15). There will be occasional road closures along these
HCO#374700020
routes to ensure public and construction crew safety. Residents in those areas should anticipate construction noise during the work hours, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Work hours may be extended for the underground contractor and also may include some Saturday work. However, the contractor will make every effort to accommodate residents by keeping their driveways accessible and minimizing construction and environmental impacts, according to a press release from the city. Motorists should observe all warning signs — including “no parking” signs — and slow down while driving through the construction zone. Felicita Park should remain open during regularly scheduled times (unless the Park staff suggest otherwise). Persons with questions or comments may contact Bill Janda, NV5 Construction manager & resident engineer at (760) 650-6477, Mark Lewis, city of Escondido field engineering inspector II, at (760) 807-1121 or the construction contractor, CCL Contracting, Inc. at (760) 743-2254.

SAN MARCOS — Two weeks after dozens of residents decried the proposed extension of a cell-tower permit in San Elijo Hills, the San Marcos City Council unanimously approved a cell tower along the city’s eastern edge. The council voted in favor of the 35-foot cell tower and companion ground equipment and 347-square-foot equipment enclosure, which will be erected just north of the intersection of Nordahl Road and Center Drive on the grounds of the North County Baptist Church. No speakers opposed the project, and the council quickly approved it. The monopole, which will be owned and operated by AT&T, will be disguised as a tree, similar to one currently onsite owned by Verizon Wireless. According to the staff report, AT&T explored co-locating its equipment on the Verizon tower, but the co-location position was too low on the pole and it wouldn’t provide the coverage intended with the additional antennas. AT&T initially applied for the cell tower in July 2014. City officials said issues with the location, which required an environmental study, delayed the project. The Planning Commission unanimously approved it on Feb. 22.

Changing the conversation about ‘The Woman Card’ By Laura Finley
Key to voter turnout: Exciting candidates, contests California Focus By Thomas D. Elias
I
n election after election, California officialdom has been frustrated by low levels of interest among eligible voters. Just when they were beginning to feel like they had tried almost everything, the obvious solutions to the problem appeared spontaneously: Give eligible Californians exciting, meaningful contests and they will turn out. When they feel their votes matter, they will fill out ballots, either at home or in polling booths. That’s why, instead of wringing hands and whining about irresponsible voters not performing their important duty, all of a sudden this spring state election officials are worried about seeing too many voters. That’s the clear upshot of an appeal by Secretary of State Alex Padilla, California’s top election official, for more money to stage the June primary. In April, he warned of a turnout “surge” and asked Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature for an additional $32 million to pay for more and fatter election guides for the November election, plus added funds to help counties cope with an anticipated flood of voters both then and in June. The two presidential nomination races have produced massive turnouts so far this year across the county, and Padilla realizes California will be the same — in fact it may see a higher percentage increase than anywhere else. One reason is that in recent pre-Donald Trump, pre-Bernard Sanders days, there was little excitement or pizzazz in the state’s elections for 10 years, since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s last run for governor in 2006. Even then there wasn’t much of a contest, as Dem-
ocratic rival Phil Angelides essentially got swamped. Likewise, there was virtually no contest in 2014, when turnout dropped almost 25 percent from the presidential election voting levels of 2012. In that vote, Brown easily beat his Republican rival Neel Kashkari, a former Federal Reserve banker who has since taken a new role in the national central bank. The extreme low 2014 turnout did two things, causing the number of signatures required for putting initiatives onto the ballot to drop by more than a quarter and pushing offi-
Govern used California to win the 1972 Democratic nomination — no California presidential vote has meant much, until this year’s. The rare happenstance of no candidate being sufficiently appealing to seal a party nomination until the very last day of the primary season — if then — is the reason California’s vote suddenly emerged as important. That hadn’t happened in 44 years. So leave the state’s presidential primary in June and California will mostly likely wander another 40 years in the desert of irrelevancy. Not every nominating
For another, unique personalities like Trump and Sanders don’t come along in every election cycle. cialdom to consider desperate measures. That low vote is behind a current plan to automatically register any U.S. citizen getting a drivers’ license as a voter. It also explains proposals to allow online voting, despite the hackable history of allegedly secure computer systems from credit cards to government records and national security secrets. The real way to spur turnout isn’t anything risky like that. Rather, it’s to make elections meaningful. California legislators could begin by moving the state’s presidential primary up permanently to a slot just after New Hampshire. True, other states won’t like that, because candidates would have to spend time in California rather than the much smaller South Carolina or Minnesota or Tennessee, all among states that voted this year either in mid-February or early March. It’s long been a situation of the tail wagging the dog, as for the last 44 years — since George Mc-
season will be as exciting as this one: For one thing, the White House is about to be vacated by its incumbent resident, so both parties are nominating now. For another, unique personalities like Trump and Sanders don’t come along in every election cycle. The implications of all this for routine elections around California are also clear. Match exciting candidates against each other and potential voters will become interested enough to become regular voters. Allow elections to be virtually uncontested, as many have been, and interest will wane. The same when voters get the sense that certain candidates appear to be anointed. The bottom line: When voters feel their ballots matter, they will make casting them a priority. When they don’t feel that way, voters won’t bother. Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

The “woman card.” It’s so much nonsense. Donald Trump is merely the latest to accuse a woman of playing identity politics because she, well, actually discussed the fact that the U.S. still has much to improve in terms of gender equality. Trump alleges that Clinton is discussing women’s issues so she can win the votes of women. The nerve of her, trying to win the support of more than 50 percent of the population! It’s like she’s running for the highest office in the country, or something. Clinton’s response was terrific: “If fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in.” Other responses to Trump’s comments bothered me, though. Elizabeth Warren said that Trump “wears the sexism out front for everyone to see,” which is undeniably true. More than just one man’s sexism, though, the whole affair is a stark reminder that we really need to change the conversation when it comes to gender. And, doing so has to go beyond attacking people for the same things women abhor—emphasizing our looks more than our words.
For instance, Warren made fun of Trump’s hair in her response to his comments. There’s no need to play that same game; his remarks would be no more palatable were he to shave his head or sport a mullet. Likewise, Clinton’s recognition of the importance of equal pay would mean no less were she a supermodel. Too often, advocates of gender equality are marginalized because of how they appear. It is way past time that we worry about someone’s actions, not the package in which they are wrapped. Feminists come in so many varieties, and their work shouldn’t be trivialized because someone doesn’t like their voice or pantsuit or because of the antiquated notion that men can’t be feminists. Likewise, advocacy for gender equality should not be marginalized because the proponent happens to be attractive or even sexy, as is often the case when female celebrities like Beyonce speak out. Similarly, when we disagree with a sexist remark, like those made by Trump, we have to resist the urge to comment on his appearance, as it also shifts the focus and entrenches us into the same duel mentality. It’s unbelievable that
issues affecting all of us are even still called “women’s issues.” In this patriarchal society, labeling something a woman’s issue reinforces the same binary way of thinking about gender that produces the problem in the first place. Like Gloria Steinem argued decades ago in her classic piece “If Men Could Menstruate,” shifting who is the oppressor or the oppressed does not challenge structural inequality. Birth control and reproductive freedom, for instance, are not “women’s issues,” they are concerns for anyone who wants to (or does not want to) have children, not about males or females. Paid family leave is about families, regardless of the gender of both parents. Domestic violence is not a women’s issue, it’s a public health concern that costs the country an estimated $8.3 billion annually. These are issues of justice and of human rights. But, it will be impossible to change the way we view these problems until we stop using the same tactics that the sexists use.

Letters to the Editor Plight of dairy cows This Mother’s Day, May 8, many of us will celebrate the powerful bond between mother and child. Tragically, the worldwide symbols of motherhood — dairy cows — never get to see or nurture their babies. Newborn calves are torn from their mothers at birth, so we can seize and drink the milk that mother cows produce for them. The powerless, distraught mothers

Dairy cows spend their lives on a concrete floor, chained, with no outdoor access. To maintain their milk flow, they are artificially impregnated each year. Around four years of age, their milk production drops and they are turned into hamburgers. This Sunday, let’s honor

Vista doubles up efforts, breaks ground on two new skate parks By Tony Cagala
VISTA — Eight years and several ceremonial shovels full of dirt scattered later and the city of Vista is that much closer to having not one, but two new skate parks. On Tuesday, members of the City Council, along with Jack Flaherty and others took part in a ceremonial groundbreaking at the site of one of the new parks slated to open in the summer of 2017. Flaherty, president of the Skate Park Coalition, was instrumental in keeping the project in the forefront of the council’s attention. “I’m very pleased,” Flaherty said looking over the future park’s site. “It’s actually a lot better than I could’ve ever hoped for.” After the city’s old skate park was torn down to accommodate the construction of the new Civic Center, Flaherty made a promise to the kids that skated there every day that he would find a solution. Initially, the idea was to build one large skate park, but after having a tough time finding an ideal locale to suit the park, the city came up with the idea to make two smaller ones. The two parks now will feature a bowl on the site at 400 N. Santa Fe Ave., and a street course just a block up at 510 N. Santa Fe Ave., which will be connected by a transformed alleyway with a skateable surface and smaller obstacles for skaters to use.

The parks cost about $900,000 each, with the city putting up the $2 million to complete the projects. Each site was already owned by the city, which was one of the biggest factors for selecting them, explained John Conley, community development director. “Based on the input we got at the community forums, there wasn’t a lot of opposition in putting
them here,” he said. “We looked at dozens of properties throughout the city over the years,” Conley added. The site where the bowl skate park will be has sat vacant for 20 years, according to Skip Hammann, project manager. In 1994, the site used to house an assembly hall and before that there was a warehouse on the prop-
erty. Grindline, a Seattle-based skate park design and construction company, came up with the designs for the two parks based in part on input from the community and local skaters. “This is a great example of how the city is working together, collaborating with residents and community groups to create a more

Ritter said that over the last 18 months, the city has invested $8 million into parks, including the two skate parks. “That’s our council’s commitment to enhancing our community’s parks and recreation opportunities,” she said. For Amanda Rigby, a parks and recreation department commissioner when the old park was torn down and who is now the city’s deputy mayor, she said it’s been a long time coming for a new skate park. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a skate park or some place official for the kids to go for their skateboarding,” Rigby said. As for Flaherty, the longtime Vista resident and skateboarder said the skate culture in Vista is really strong. “Modern street skating was basically born in Vista,” he said. “This is basically the Dog Town of the ‘80s….there’s a really strong skate history in Vista.” Skate park hours haven’t yet been established, though there will be night lighting installed. Another feature will include a web cam that will stream live on the city’s website and the city will be adding a traffic signal at the intersection to allow for safe crossing to get to the parks.

Is North County for Trump? Northbound vince vasquez
L
ast weekend, Republican delegates and presidentia l candidates gathered for the California Republican Party Spring Convention, but all eyes were on businessman Donald Trump. With recent polls showing him well ahead in the June 7 GOP primary, I built a statistical model to see how he’d perform in North County, and other regions throughout the state. Exit polls from early Republican presidential primaries have identified strong electoral support for Trump from key demographic groups — largely non-urban, working class white voters. An analysis by the New York Times in March found that, among hundreds of demographic and economic variables, electoral support for Trump was highest in areas with large numbers of white residents with no high school diplomas, a large mobile home population, and a large share of “old economy” jobs (manufacturing, construction, et al.). Over time, primary polling and electoral results have shown that Trump’s appeal has expanded beyond this core base, and now includes a broader swath of the Republican electorate. Evaluating demographics using statistics is one way to project the outcome of an election in an area; it is a technique that has been readily used by journalists and data analysts covering the 2016 Democratic and Republican presidential contests. To project the results from the Republican presidential contest in California, I first calculated the percentage of vote won by Trump by congressional district in four recent state elections — Michigan, New York, Florida and Ohio. I then collected congressional district level data from the United States Census Bureau for these four states, as well as California, on five key variables that have shown a high correlation to strong Trump support on Election Day. Finally, I used statistical methods to analyze the

power of these variables, and project a correlating vote in California congressional districts. My California model projects that Trump would win a majority of votes in 24 of 53 (45 percent) state congressional districts, and would have a commanding lead (45 to 49 percent) in an additional 17 districts (32 percent). Using GIS mapping software, we see that Trump’s strongest electoral support comes from the Inland Empire, north Los Angeles County, and the southern outlying counties of the San Francisco Bay area. His weakest electoral support is concentrated along the Central Coast, the Central Valley, and far Northern California counties. In North County, I project Trump will receive 48.4 percent of the vote in the coastal 49th District, 49.2 percent in the inland 50th District (which is shared with East County), and 51.2 percent in the urban 52nd District (which largely overlaps with the city of San Diego). Based on my model, the projected statewide vote for Trump is 49.7 percent. This is nearly identical to the Fox News and CBS News/YouGov state polls taken in the last two weeks, which both had Trump at 49 percent. My California vote model is only an approximation of the projected vote; many factors, including exogenous events and targeted campaigning efforts by Republican candidates Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich, could alter the outcome of district-level races. The California Republican primary is officially a “winner-take-all” contest by congressional district, with three delegates awarded per congressional district to the candidate who earns the most votes per district, an additional 10 at large delegates awarded to the winner of the most votes statewide, and three pre-determined delegates. Based on the model, I project that Donald Trump will win at least 133 out of the 172 delegates (77 percent) in California. This is a larger delegate share than what has been earlier projected by political experts (93). The implications of this projected Trump victory in California is significant, as it would likely mean that the candidate would secure the Republican party nomination outright, making a contested convention scenario unlikely. Are you voting for Trump in June? Lots of North County Republicans, it seems, will be. Vince Vasquez is a think tank analyst based in Torrey Pines. He is a Carlsbad resident.

Domestic violence topic of forum By Steve Puterski
ESCONDIDO — A panel preceded by keynote speaker Tanya Brown highlighted the domestic violence awareness forum at the San Diego County North Inland Live Well Center on April 28. Brown, the sister of the late Nicole Brown Simpson who was murdered in 1994 and was married to O.J. Simpson, spoke about how domestic violence led to her sister’s death. Brown also spoke of her own battles with domestic violence and the many forms of abuse. “Nicole was isolated because some of her friends knew her abuse and we all know who that person is,” Brown said. “They’ve all come forward after she was killed. They all knew she was being abused and no one did anything.” Her latest book she co-authored with Carolyn Inmon, “The Seven Characters of Abuse,” and which Brown detailed during her speech, the duo identified seven signs of domestic violence. The physical abuse, Brown said, typically is the manifestation of one or several non-violent methods such as isolation, mind games, emotional robbers, money manager, pseudo parent and silent knight.
In addition, Brown said suppressing feelings eventually leads to abuse since those emotions must be released. “Over the past 10 years, I’ve realized that everybody still thinks it’s physical assault,” she explained. “It starts with things way before any physical attempt or sexual assault is made.” Brown said the path toward domestic violence begins with jealousy. She said jealous is not a sign of love, rather an indicator or power, control and sexual history, among other factors. “I do not know what is about abusive people, but they will always use the slut card,” Brown said. To counter those abuses, Brown said it is important to have a support system to break free from those shackles. County Supervisor Dave Roberts, meanwhile, who organized the event along with the county, North San Diego Business Chamber and San Diego Commission of the Status of Women, opened the forum with troubling statistics and the county’s approach to curbing domestic violence. He reported one in four women and one in seven men over 18 have been victimized. As troubling as
those statistics were to Roberts and those in attendance, he emphasized those were just the reported cases. “Those are just astounding,” Roberts said. “Domestic violence doesn’t decide where it affects a family. It can be any type of diverse family. It doesn’t discriminate.” The county, meanwhile, experience a six percent increase in domestic violence cases in 2015 with as many as 16 domestic violence-related homicides in 2014. Not to be forgotten, in a sample study of 100 cases reported to law enforcement, children were present in 37. “My hope is all of us can better recognize the signs of abuse and acquire the tools to help someone,” Roberts said. “Those tools could help save someone.” After Brown’s speech, she joined a panel including San Diego County Sheriff Detective Kim Houry, county Health and Human Services Agency Director Nick Macchione, Deputy District Attorney Tracy Prior and Associate Director of Youth Development at North County Lifeline Alberta Saavedra. Houry and Prior spoke of how most batterers come from traumatized homes, which leads them down a dark path in their relation-
ships. “We are trying to get into more teen awareness,” Houry said. “We want them in healthy relationships.” Saavedra, meanwhile, was the lone panelist who works with abusers to assist them in overcoming their issues with domestic violence. Her program, she said, has a 75 percent success rate to comparable programs in the county. “It’s hard to say that everyone who comes to the group is successful,” Saavedra said. “However, change is possible. What we are trying to do is plant the seed and teaching proper coping skills. Macchione, who was the lone man on the panel, was asked why men are so often overlooked when it comes to domestic violence. While the rates against men are not as high as women, it is an issue society is starting to come to terms with, he said. But the biggest issue, he said, is domestic violence has become a public health threat. “How do we move upstream?” Macchione asked. “When we begin to see this ecosystem of violence … this is a disease that keeps on giving to the victims and the children of these families.”

Grant helps with San Dieguito River restoration By Christina Macone-Greene
REGION — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Partners for the Fish and Wildlife Program gifted a $25,000 grant enabling the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy to jumpstart the Fairbanks Ranch Invasive Removal and Stream Enhancement Project. The mission is to remove invasive plants while restoring the native habitat in the area of the San Dieguito River adjacent to Fairbanks Ranch. According to Jessica Norton, conservation manager of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, talks started in 2014 and the first phase of the pilot program was completed in a span of two weeks in Oct. 2015. Norton said they have about 10 property owners signed on with a potential of up to 45 residents. “We’re hoping that in this pilot portion of the project, when people see all the great progress that’s being made, that they’ll want to sign up and actually allow us onto their property to treat more areas,” she said. While work in the riverbed is currently being halted during bird breeding season, restoration efforts will be relaunched for another phase once again after Sept. 15. As the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy is helping lead the way in these restoration efforts, other major partners include the Fairbanks Ranch Homeowners Association, San Dieguito River Park, private landowners who are signing up to be part of the project, and the California Native Plant Society. Norton describes the California Native Plant Society as the “boots on the ground” who are helping with the actual invasive plant removal work. Another important group that volunteered last October in these efforts was the American Conservation Experience (ACE).

A total of 10 people pitched in for this project. “They (ACE) are like your local conservation core that actually brings in youth that are considering conversation as a career,” Norton said. “It gives them the firsthand experience to actually conduct some of this work themselves and learn about why it’s important.” Since more monies are needed in completing this project, Norton pointed out that moving forward all the grants written are including ACE. While invasive plants are being weeded out, as well as the biomass, fire safety is also playing an important role. Norton shared how their organization attended some of Fairbank Ranch’s fire safety meetings to support them and heard how a couple of homeowners were really concerned about the invasive plants and wanted them cleaned out of the riverbed. “So they were seeking help and how to actually move forward to get some of this work done,” she said. The invasive plants being removed are pampas grass, select palm trees,
and eucalyptus trees. The major intrusive plant primarily being targeted is the Arundo Donax, also known as giant reed. “A lot of people mistake it for bamboo,” Norton said. “Not only is it a major fire concern, but it causes a lot of flooding because when it comes into an area, it completely takes over and pushes out all your native plants and then you have just one monoculture of this horrible plant.” Norton pointed out that the giant reed does not provide any habitat for native species. The giant reed does not offer any food value and bird nesting cannot happen with this plant species. Norton said the generous grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was “seed money” to get the ball rolling. Norton wants people to know that this project is part of other major restoration projects performed in areas such as Del Dios Gorge, San Dieguito Lagoon, Lake Hodges and San Pasqual Valley. Norton hopes that 100 acres will be treated for the Fairbanks Ranch Invasive Removal and Stream Enhancement Project which equates to 2.5 miles of the

She continued, “A big part of it is about education and we really want the local residents in the community to know not only why we’re doing this project, but how they can create fire safe landscapes around their own home and preferably using native species if they can.” For residents who want to learn more about this project, please contact Norton at (858) 7556956 or email her at jess@sdrvc.org.
hen you see a scene of a stalled elevator, there is inevitably panic, much pushing of the buttons, attacks of claustrophobia and someone climbing out the little square on the ceiling and shimmying up the cable for help. If that’s your first perception, you have seen too many action movies. In my circles, that approach is seriously lacking in realism. There is quite another scenario that those cloistered screenwriters have overlooked, or maybe they just realized it would send the audience into a snooze. A favorite mother-friend of mine recently played out this alternative scene when her elevator suddenly stopped mid-floor. She was, of course, in the middle of a typically crazed day, in a hurry to be somewhere, already 15 minutes late. For perhaps a nanosecond, she considered pushing the emergency button, but before she even lifted her finger in that direction she was
overcome with an emotion far more compelling than panic. It was relief. She was, you see, quite alone in the elevator car. Instead of feeling put upon and distressed, she suddenly knew she had won “a moment.” She had scored what I like to call “enforced leisure.” It is pretty much the only down time moms get, at least without tons of accompanying guilt. My friend needed only to take one deep breath before seeing the opportunity for what it was. She felt quite certain that assistance would be coming soon, as there were bound to be others on the opposite elevator who failed to appreciate this interlude. She simply basked in the delicious, rare, unplanned, uninterrupted silence. No one could blame her, question her or force her to hurry up. It was a luxury ranking above bon-bons or an afternoon nap. We can’t rely on sticky elevators, but moms are always on the alert for those “moments” when we’re unintentionally graced with some small bit of uncompromised relaxation. It might be that one time when all of your children miraculously fall asleep for their naps simultaneously or perhaps the 10 minutes alone in the car TURN TO SMALL TALK ON 21

Sharing moments and memories of a lifetime O By Steve Puterski
n Sunday, he will take one step closer to the century mark. James Austin Harper, otherwise know as “Rip,” will turn 99 and he recently reminisced on his career in the military, growing up in the South during the Depression, playing college baseball and his life in Southern California. Nicknamed 87 years ago after Washington Irving’s famous Rip Van Winkle, Harper has navigated the farms of Mississippi, dodged the Japanese during World War II and gone on to work on some of San Diego’s most recognizable structures.
Farm to MSU Born in 1917, Harper spent much of his childhood working on farms outside Hazlehurst, Miss. and of course, playing sports. He was a two-sport star in high school in football and basketball. His high school didn’t have a baseball team, so Harper and his friends were relegated to the sandlot. Harper also spent much of his youth in the Boy Scouts before earning Eagle Scout as a teenager and joined the Navy Sea Scouts at 16. Elementary school, though, was a journey for Harper as he trekked five to six miles each way to attend. Of course, he took the bus, which back then was a covered wagon. The family moved to Vicksburg when Harper was 7, where his dad became a bus driver. His skill on the diamond, however, led him to playing for his beloved Mississippi State Bulldogs in 1937. Harper was also the
first in his family to attend college. “I had decided that when I was in high school, I was going to college,” he added. Last year on his birthday, he returned to Starkville and was honored by the baseball team during a game with a signed ball and put on the video screen. But his road to college baseball was interrupted twice due to the cost of attendance. While tuition was much cheaper in the 1930s, Harper still couldn’t afford school. Before enrolling as a freshman, he spent a year working for $9 per week selling shoes and saved enough to buy two years at MSU. Following his sophomore year, he was back in the workforce before finally earning his degree in civil engineering in 1943. ‘They had gotten so many students … my first year, as a freshman, I lived in what was a rifle range,” Harper recalled. “They portioned off that rifle range. We only had 2,000 students back in those days. Upon graduation and already having several years of experience in the Army National Guard, Harper opted to leave the military. However, it pulled him back due to World War II and this time he joined the Marines. “I joined them in a basic officer’s course for 10 weeks in Quantico (Va.),” he said. “That National Guard time I had gave me experience as if I had been active duty.” Military career Harper worked his way through the ranks up to Colonel. His journey, though, began with Army Engineer-
was at least two years away after the military changed its age requirements. Instead, Harper put his education to work and returned to Carlsbad. “They had a engineering consulting firm that specialized in that area and lined up a job with them,” he added.

ing School before being deployed to Guadalcanal in the Pacific Theater. As a second lieutenant, his commanding officer needed a replacement and chose Harper to be his administrative officer because he was more mature than the other first lieutenants and captain. “I got a lot of experience from that,” he said. “After a year of that, I was sent oversees.” His next post was as the admin officer in Guadalcanal and for the rest of the war. Harper’s engineer battalion oversaw demolitions, bridge construction, roadwork and operating flamethrowers. His post kept him in the rear, although he was awarded a Purple Heart in Okinawa. Japanese soldiers broke through at night, a
firefight ensued and the next morning grenade shrapnel struck Harper from a Japanese soldier who was hiding in the bush. “On Easter Sunday of 1945, it was April 1,” he said. “I grabbed my pistol out and got that fella with the hand grenade. I felt kind bad about getting that fella, but on the other hand, that’s the way it was.” Several weeks later, he dodged another brush with death when an artillery shell landed 20 feet away from him, although the round killed Harper’s chief medical officer, who was standing between Harper and the blast. “You could hear these shells swishing,” he explained. “I heard this one and said, ‘Hit the deck.’ The other fella got a piece of shrapnel under his helmet

and killed him.” Several months later, the war was over. After several months in China, Harper returned home. He spent time at the Marines Corps school in Quantico and an engineer demonstration unit, where he was promoted to captain in 1948. Harper also spent time in Korea in 1953. “We had 243 miles of road we were responsible for in Korea,” he said. “It was real busy when the Korean War was over. We had troops in the demilitarized zone and had to pull them out.” Upon his return to Camp Pendleton after the war, he and his wife bought their Carlsbad home. He earned his master’s degree in civil engineering in 1957 and returned to Camp Pendleton as commanding officer of an engineering battalion. Harper retired at 51 from the Marines because he would not be in line to receive another promotion due to his age. Harper was in line to be promoted to Brigadier General, but it
Home life Harper met his late wife, Jane, in 1943 and the couple married the following year after five-and-half months of dating. Jane was a Navy nurse and the pair adopted their son, James, in 1952, and had a daughter, Martha, in 1955. “We decided we would adopt,” Harper said. “He was less than a month old. Harper worked with Woodward-Clyde Associates for 19 years and his second retirement came at age 70. During his time at the firm, Harper was part of projects including the Lindbergh Field runway extension, the twin Marriot buildings and mostly the foundations of skyscrapers. “The last time they extended Lindbergh Field over mudflats … I got the job to tell them how to prepare and design the pavement over that,” he said. “When they built Terminal 2, I got the job of designing the pile foundation for the terminal and pavement for parking aircraft.” For the past 20 years, Harper has volunteered at a church cemetery keeping the gravesites clean and tidy. It is the same place where his wife is buried. She passed away in 1992. He also conducts funeral services, which he never scripts. When he’s not keeping a watchful eye on the cemetery, Harper enjoys traveling, as he has for many years. He has visited every continent including Antarctica last year. A 2013 trip consisted of taking part of the Honor Flight, which celebrates WWII veterans with an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C.

It’s all blues and kazoos for Escondido musician By Steve Puterski
ESCONDIDO — This weekend dozens, if not hundreds, of musicians will descend on San Diego for the 15th annual Gator By the Bay festival. The Louisiana-themed music and food event runs Thursday through Sunday at Spanish Landing Park. For one Escondido blues musician, however, this event is another chance to dive deep into his talents and unleash his skills on the harmonica. Billy Watson has played all types of gigs and is a veteran of Gator By the Bay event. He will perform each day and will hand out 100 free kazoos to the audience so they can play along during one his sets. Joining Watson on stage, meanwhile, will be legendary guitar player Junior Watson. “It can range from Chicago-style to whatever it takes,” Billy said. “The sound we put out is something like the early (Rolling) Stones, I think. That kind of vibe.” Billy, though, takes on a unique perspective to

Billy said landing the living legend just adds more depth and quality to his show. “He’s probably one of the most sought after cult-classic guitarist in that genre,” Billy said. “It
gives local bands a chance to get up in front of a bigger audience. And it gives people in San Diego to see big acts for a relatively cheap price.” Other musical genres include Cajun, zydeco, salsa, country, jazz and swing.

The consummate restaurant experience at Land & Water Co. Well in the two years since they have opened, the raves from foodie friends in the know continue to pour in so it was about time to experience it for myself and after the amazing experience I had there I’m a bit embarrassed it
took this long. Chef/owner Rob Ruiz has attained almost mythical status with all of the earned awards applauding his efforts towards sustainable fishing and sourcing locally. If you are looking for a restaurant that really walks the talk when it comes to doing things right, Land & Wa-

ter goes above and beyond in that category. I could devote an entire column to those efforts but they definitely should be noted as they play an integral part in the overall mantra of this fine restaurant. The restaurant is modeled after a French/izakay, which is a Japanese-style sushi pub, which was a style new to me. It’s located in the 1887 Queen Anne home formerly occupied by the Ocean House. It’s a nice warm space but honestly, the quality and the attention to detail that goes into everything on their menu almost makes the space irrelevant, it’s that good folks. That said it’s a very nice environment in the heart of coastal Carlsbad. We started with a couple of specialty cocktails, including the Broadmoor that has Pig’s Nose blended scotch, Pimm’s No. 1, and Fee Brothers orange bitters. This was one of the best craft cocktails I’ve ever had. My dining companion
started with the whimsically named “You Drink Here Too” that consisted of Ty Ku Junmai Sake, Batch Craft ginger beer and club soda. Another crazy good cocktail and we had a sense at that point that we were in for something special. Ruiz actually suggested pairing my cocktail with the citrus salad — and who was I to argue that? So next up we went with the Local Citrus Salad (paired perfectly with my cocktail) with lavender goat cheese mousse, vanilla quince puree, white balsamic vinaigrette, honey drizzled crostini, arugula and of course an assortment of fresh local citrus. This takes salads to another level folks. So fresh were the flavors and the textures complimented each other perfectly. It should be noted that all the bread is baked in-house at Land & Water, just another special touch. As the name states, there is an almost equal mix TURN TO LICK THE PLATE ON 21

In Italy the wines are everywhere taste of wine frank mangio
I
talians have a nice little saying that would be good to earmark in your search for a fulfilling life of good wine and good friends: “Amici y vini, sempre meglio vecchi.” It means, “friends and wine are always best when they’re aged.” Making friends and making wine is the passionate lifestyle in every corner of Italy. There are reportedly more than 384,000 wineries in Italy, both big and small, making 377 different kinds of wine. This is the land of wine. The Italians brought wine to France when the Roman legions conquered the country. Now the Italians are the number one importers of wine to the United States — replacing the French. Yet here in the U.S. there are many who have not been educated to Italian wines and their terroir taste. Mouthfeel is less grape and more the earth and its minerality and herbs. Soils in subclimates can change radically in vine blocks. There is a special affinity for Mediterranean food and Italian wine, unlike any other
country. When one overindulges in wine, Italians just shrug and say: “He didn’t eat enough food.” There are three wines that I want you to be familiar with: Barolo in the Piedmont district north of Milan; Amarone in the Valpolicello district near Varona and Brunello Montalcino in Tuscany. Barolo is king of the reds with the power and glitz from the Nebbiolo grape. Minimum aging is three years by law. It is a dry, full-bodied robust wine that can be aged for many years with stunning results. Some names to know include: Beni Di Batasiolo, Guiseppe Rinaldi, Fontanafredda, Michele Chiarlo and the legendary Gaja, a winery named after its founder, Angelo Gaja, considered the father of modern day Piedmont wines. All of these wines are expensive and can go upwards of $600. With some digging, there are value bottles of Barolos out there for about $40. Moving south to the district of Veneto, the home of the sparkling wine favorite, Prosecco, a fascinating and powerful red wine is viewed as a sensational favorite. Its name is Amorone from the Valpolicella area. The process is extraordinary as grapes are harvested deep into October by carefully choosing bunches TURN TO TASTE OF WINE ON 21

Vista’s Strawberry Festival is May 29 VISTA — The annual Vista Strawberry Festival, sponsored by Tri-City Medical Center and the Vista Chamber of Commerce, is back, with activities starting May 29. The Festival officially kicks off in Historic Downtown Vista from 6:45 a.m. until 6 p.m. May 29 with the Vista Strawberry Festival Run (10K, 5K, 1-mile, ¼-mile). For directions and information, visit vistas-

tival in San Diego County that celebrates all the joys and pleasures of the strawberry,” said Chamber CEO, Bret Schanzenbach. The children’s carnival ride area opens on May 26 and features a 250-foot zipline attraction and Twin Oaks Gallery Chalk-Alive Extravaganza Art display.

Las Vegas revamps, reshapes and re-invents itself for Millennials hit the road e’louise ondash
L
et’s face it; people like Las Vegas. Even when the last recession hit and Las Vegas was faced with particularly high unemployment and a severe collapse of the housing market, 40 million visitors a year still found their way to the city to gamble, see shows and to get quickie marriages (possibly followed by long-lasting regrets). The history of the rise of Las Vegas is like no other
city in our country. It is replete with true tales of gambling, prostitution, the Mob, celebrities, eccentrics, shady deals and greed. Since its founding in the 1930s, Sin City has evolved several times, and it is, once again, retooling, revamping, reshaping and re-inventing itself — all for the Millennials. Turns out that this generation — young adults who came of age around 2000 — do not have gambling high on their Things-We-Loveto-Do List. So thanks to the proclivities of the Millennials, people of all ages can enjoy extraordinary theater, spas, food and fine art. Here are just some of the many elements of Las Vegas 4.0 that I discovered on a recent media trip. Actors and dancers portraying paparazzi in Cirque du Soleil’s “Michael Jackson One” show illustrate how the multi-faceted artist was constantly pursued throughout his life. The title of the show derives from Jackson’s belief that all people are unique and equal. The extravaganza of light, color, dance and acrobatic feats plays out against a backdrop of the King of Pop’s music, which emanates from the three speakers on each of the 1,804 theater seats. (If you are sound-sensitive, bring earplugs.) The high-tech production includes 26 video projectors that shoot images throughout the theater. The production has been playing since June 2013 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Courtesy photo

Forté Academy of The Arts is the ...
Fastest Growing Music School in North County
Forté Academy of the Arts has helped hundreds of students begin and continue on their musical journey. They are the fastest growing school of music for private lessons in North County. They offer lessons in all popular instruments, as well as voice and art. They go above and beyond to find and hire the best and most experienced music teachers in North County to teach all levels of music. What we find most attractive about Forté is that they don’t require semester minimums for lessons. Every student is on a monthto-month basis. Tuition is also very affordable with $34 per 30-minute lesson or $51 per 45-minute lesson.
If you’re ready to start, you can start anytime and don’t have to commit to a longterm contract. Every parent wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way to understand if their investment in lessons is really paying off, is to have their child participate in a recital. In June and December, Forté students will be able to perform in a magnificent recital. Recitals are held locally so you don't have to travel far for a top-notch recital experience and they provide a beautiful grand piano. The academy also has a Musical Ladders Program. Students earn wristbands, certificates, and trophies when they pass

Californians weigh in on small business in commissioned survey Survey shows overwhelming consumer support for small businesses When Californians were asked which political candidate is most likely to support legislation that provides more opportunities for small businesses, Bernie Sanders edged out Hillary Clinton and cruised past Donald Trump, according to the 2016 Cox Consumer Pulse on Small Businesses survey. Additionally, more California consumers (47 percent) believe the Democratic Party contributes more to small business growth compared to Republicans and Independents. The national blind survey, commissioned by Cox Business in recognition of National Small Business Week (May 1 through May 7, 2016), polled consumers from around the country, including California. Other key findings from Cali-
fornia respondents included: • 90 percent frequent small businesses at least once a week, with 43 percent shopping small businesses three times or more per week; • 59 percent say WiFi is the best perk to have while waiting (coffee came in second at 20 percent); • 66 percent didn’t feel it is necessary for small businesses to stay open on holidays; • When asked which digital channels they use to interact with small businesses (and to select all that apply), 55 percent use websites, 47 percent email and 41 percent Facebook compared to Instagram (21 percent), text (20 percent) and Twitter (14 percent). • 72 percent of California consumers feel the federal government does not do enough to promote small business growth on a A commissioned survey from Cox Business polls small business owners from around national level; the country in recognition of National Small Business Week, May 1 through May 7. • The entrepreneurial bug Courtesy photo starts early.

What is a Mother? She’s somebody to confide in...her trust is always there. She’s somebody who’s special; who deserves so much. She’s a cry and a smile. She’s a warm and loving touch. She’s always there to listen and to hear my point of view. She’ll give me her suggestions without telling me what to do. She gave her life in raising me and helping me to grow. She’s been there through the happy times and comforts me when I’m feeling low. She makes sure I know I am special and important to her. She was there through wet diapers, skinned knees, dates, first kisses, and the vows of love, “I DO.” She’s my best friend as well as MOM. We’ve cried, we’ve laughed, we’ve hugged. I thank you, Mom, for all your love! We proudly honor Mothers on Mother’s Day and every day!

Pacific Ridge sophomore makes history on soccer pitch By Aaron Burgin
ENCINITAS — When Sierra Enge lined up in her usual center-back position on the soccer pitch in Monfalcone, Italy, last week, she became part of history. Sierra, a 16-year-old sophomore at Pacific Ridge School and a Cardiff resident, is captain of the U.S. Under-16 Girl’s National Team. On April 26, she and her mates faced off against the U-16 girls team from Iran, becoming the first U.S. women’s national team on any level to face a team from the Middle East. The U.S. team defeated their Iranian counterparts 6-0, but the score was merely arithmetic given the historic backdrop. And the significance was not lost on Sierra. “I mean, it was an incredible honor to be honest,” she said this week. “It was crazy, and we were all super excited to be a part of it. It was an incredibly humbling and incredible experience that all of us will never forget. It also showed how soccer can help with the empowering of women across the world and we were humbled to be a part of that.” Sierra’s team went 1-1-1 in last week’s International Women’s Tournament of Gradisca, good for fourth place in the six-team field. It was the first international matches of the year for the team and first since the program was re-instated last year. Sierra said while the team received the invitation a month ago, it wasn’t until two weeks before the tournament that the team learned the magnitude of the game they would play against Iran. By the time the game started, Sierra said, she wasn’t nervous. “It just felt very special to be part of that experi-
ence,” she said. For Sierra, that experience could likely be the start of many special experiences in her soccer career. A two-year veteran of the U.S. Soccer program, Sierra has aspirations to play in the U-20 World Cup in 2020 and potentially play on the national team in the World Cup or the Olympics. As captain of the U-16 team and committed to play college soccer at Stanford University, Sierra is considered one of the elite players in the country and is on track to achieve those goals, a fact that she said excites her. “It is really cool to know that these goals are definitely options, but I still have to work really hard to
make those teams,” said Sierra, who plays club soccer for Carlsbad Elite. “Nothing is for sure, but I am excited to be able to work hard and work toward those goals.”
att Thompson had an idea and maybe the San Dieguito High baseball coaches wouldn’t notice. “Oh no, they did,’’ Thompson said, “We got in trouble.’’ Thompson, now the Point Loma Playhouse artistic director and an actor, was a Ted Williams fan when playing for the Mustangs in 1987. When arriving at Williams’ Hoover High in North Park for a game, Thompson made a visit to Williams’ childhood home at 4121 Utah Street. “I was freaking out we were at Hoover, where Ted played,’’ Thompson said. “So it was before the game and me and two of the other guys actually ran over to his house about a mile away. We kind of gawked at it from
a grounder to third. I was safe at first base, I remember that, but the ump called me out. I guess that was karma for going to see Ted’s house.’’ Thompson now fills the house with his oneman show, “Ted Williams: A Tip of the Cap.” He recently performed it be-
across the street.’’ The breakaway bunch returned for the first pitch but were reprimanded. Thompson, who rarely saw the field, wasn’t concerned about the consequences. “I didn’t play much; I think I got up nine times all year,’’ he said. “But I did in that game and hit

The festival will kick off with a concert headlined by C.J. Chenier, son of the Grammy Award-winning legendary “King of Zydeco,” Clifton Chenier.
Chenier was born into the musical tradition of southwest Louisiana and Texas Zydeco, a chugging, accordion-led blend of French Creole and African-derived influences.

The second-term mayor brushed off any insinuation of a scandal. He installed the system after a state investigation. “It’s a non-story, a non-issue,” he said. One of the biggest battles between North County politicians and their peers stems from the allocation of funds from the San Diego Area of Governments (SANDAG).
Specifically, SANDAG’s board is debating whether to pass a half-cent raise in taxes to fund a multi-billion dollar transportation project. Traffic is the No. 1 issue with residents and Roberts said a “major” corporation in Sorrento Valley is contemplating leaving the county because of congestion. As for the growing support of recreational marijuana, all three candidates were staunchly against legalization. Abed and Gaspar each have led their cities by banning medical use, cultivation and delivery of marijuana. Gaspar said she is in favor of compassionate use of the drug, but said she is against any and all other uses. Yet another hot topic

The Water Roll includes spicy tuna, Haas avocado, cucumber, red stone crab roll, tsume, ryu, layers of assorted sashimi topped with ginger, ponzu and citrus slices.

It was nice to see that level of professionalism from the wait staff. The larger plates on the menu had five diverse options ranging from housesmoked Pork Spare Ribs to a Vegetable Pot Pie to a New Zealand caught Barramundi, a Top Sirloin and our selection the Chicken and Gravy. I rarely eat chicken out, but given the stellar meal we had experienced to this point, I wanted to see how it was handled in the hands of a world-class chef. It was a half Jidori chicken, mashed potato puree, kimchi and a savory bacon herb jus. It was moist, flavorful and one of the best chicken dishes I’ve had anywhere. I should note that the
was the debate on whether to allow public funds for a new San Diego Chargers football stadium. Team officials, along with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, held a rally in April in San Diego to urge residents to pass a referendum for the November general election. However, only San Diego city residents are allowed to vote. Each of the three candidates said they would fight against any county funds being diverted to a stadium, especially since county voters have no impact on a possible vote. While all three support the Chargers, and sports, they see no need or benefit to publicly finance a stadium. of the Fest competition.

fore a capacity crowd. “It went great,’’ Thompson said. “And we had a nice discussion and told stories afterward.’’ Thompson’s athletic career ended that year at San Dieguito. He turned to the arts, by Bob Thaves FRANK which& ERNEST led to his presentation of Teddy Ballgame. Instead of doing a glossy biography of the multi-layered Williams, Thompson dives into what made the former Boston Red Sox star tick. “Not just his rants and him yelling at sportswriters,’’ Williams added. Instead we discover Williams’ challenge of switching coasts and his interaction with family. was confident THE BORNWilliams LOSER by Art & Chip Sansom in the batter’s box, but a conflicted Hall of Famer out of it. “He had these internal demons,’’ Thompson, 44, said. “Even as a kid he preferred to be by himself, be alone.

were many conflicts there and that makes a good story.’’ Few know that Williams’ mother was Hispanic. While proud of his heritage Williams felt restrained expressing it. “This was in the 1950s and he was afraid he would be an outcast if people knew,’’ Thompson said. “He often said if he looked more like his brother — who more resembled their mother — he might not have made it to the majors.’’ Williams once said, “The only race he cared about was the pennant race.” But Thompson learned otherwise. In Williams’ 1966 Hall of Fame induction speech he preached about inclusion. He railed against Negro League players being overlooked by Cooperstown. “That really opened the door for the minority players in the ‘70s,’’ Thompson said. Thompson, who also teaches at area community colleges, was commissioned by the San Diego Hall of Champions to write the Williams manuscript in 2011 for Bob Breitbard’s 90th birthday. Breitbard, the Hall of Champions founder and Wil-
liams’ longtime friend, was thrilled with Thompson’s work. “I got to read a few pages of it for him,’’ Thompson said, noting that Breitbard died before its debut. “He liked it but said I didn’t have enough cussing in it.’’ Williams wore red but his language had a blue streak. Years later, the salty Williams had second thoughts on his behavior. “He was a very alpha-male guy,’’ Thompson said. “But he had a lot of regrets in how he related to sportswriters and the fans. He always felt he should have acknowledged the fans more.’’ We’ll do something that Williams seldom did — tip our cap to Thompson for bringing this complex man to life. Thompson showcases Williams again July 9 at the San Diego Central Library, with a free performance as part of the All-Star Game festivities. Like the outcome of countless Williams’ at-bats, it’ll be a hit. Contact Jay Paris at jparis8@ aol.com. Follow him on Twitter at jparis_sports.
