Vista council forum introduces seven candidates for two seats By Tony Cagala
VISTA — Two incumbents looked to keep their seats, while five other challengers hoped to gain entry into city politics on Sept. 1 during a candidate forum for the Vista City Council. Two seats are up for grabs on the council when the Nov. 8 election ensues with Councilmembers Cody Campbell and Amanda Rigby Young looking to extend their time on the dais following their first four-year terms. Ranging from small business owners to a military veteran to longtime Vista residents, none of the five challengers to Campbell and Young have served on city councils previously. All seven candidates
attended the forum, hosted by the Vista Chamber of Commerce at the Civic Center, which gave them the opportunity to introduce themselves to the audience and respond to questions. Joe Green, a lifelong Vista resident and owner of a real estate mortgage business, said he wants to take the city from “good to great.” He cited traffic flow infrastructure, including eliminating red light cameras, slowing the growth of the budget and implementing an “intelligent growth” approach as ways to improve the city. Eureby Lopez, an immigration lawyer and lifetime Vista resident said he’s really active in the community. “I’m running for Vista
City Council because I want to make Vista fair for all,” he said. Dale Pilat, a retired Army Sgt., wounded while serving in Afghanistan in 2010, said he wants to put the people back in charge. “We need to improve common sense principles at the city level,” he said. Amanda Rigby Young, Vista City Councilwoman and deputy mayor said she’s brought a vision with her to the city. “I think that we have done a really good job over these last four years in bringing that vision to fruition and keeping it going,” she said. Victoria Waufle, a resident of Vista for more than 35 years, said she’s looking forward to the expansion
that’s about to take place in the city. “As Vistans, we don’t necessarily like change, but we’re going to see it. Let’s do it in parameters, let’s create additional jobs, which translates to a wider tax base.” Cody Campbell, City Council member said he’s seen a lot of great things happening in Vista. “Over the last four years, we’ve reduced our crime rate…we now have the lowest crime rate in the city. We’re actually a safer city to live in than Carlsbad.” Tom Fleming, a 40year resident in Vista and retired business owner of One Day Shoe Repair said as a member of the SherTURN TO FORUM ON 21
SAN MARCOS — After years of delay and debate, San Marcos’ first K-8 school opened its doors last month. Double Peak School, perched at the intersection of San Elijo Road and Ledge Street at the top of San Elijo Hills, opened its doors Aug. 29 after years of planning. The $75 million campus, for which planning began five years ago, was created to alleviate crowding at San Elijo Hill’s other two schools, San Elijo Elementary and San Elijo Middle schools. “We are really excited with how well it has gone,” Double Peak principal Steve Baum said. “I think the opening really met and exceeded our expectations. The community, students, parents and families are truly excited to be here and I don’t think we could have asked for a better first three days than we have had.” The school hosted an orientation and welcome in August, which was attended by hundreds of parents and students in advance of the first day of school, said Anna-Lucia Roybal, the district’s spokeswoman. “You could tell there was a lot of excitement, and a lot of oohs and aahs,” Roybal said. For years, however, a number of residents tried to thwart the school from being built at its location.
A group known as “Stop San Marcos K-8” expressed concerns about the location of the project, which it says imperils the children who will attend. Double Peak sits just below the crest of San Elijo Road, where the speed limit is 50 miles per hour and the street begins a steep 10 percent grade both eastbound and westbound. Motorists are often seen driving in excess of the 50 mph speed limit, some using the street as a shortcut to Carlsbad and Encinitas and others using it to get to nearby Cal State San Marcos. The group, spearheaded by local resident Andy Lee, said that these conditions would endanger the lives of children who will have to cross San Elijo Road in order to make it to and from school. District officials responded by saying they were taking necessary measures to calm traffic in the area as well as shorten the queue of vehicles some anticipated would line up before and after school. A 25-mile-per-hour speed limit is now in place in the immediate vicinity of the school, and the drop-off area includes a long loop that brings in most of the vehicles off the street. Baum said that the school staff is constantly working on ways to adTURN TO DOUBLE PEAK ON 21

Nerds of every realm descend on Nerd-Con By Steve Puterski
ESCONDIDO — From the far ends of the universe, the nerds came out in force. Thousands geeked out at the end of August during the second annual Nerd-Con at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. It was a record draw for the new convention, as the success of its first year allowed Nerd-Con to take over the whole facility. “How can you go to a convention in your hometown and not go?” said Mark Fuga of Calico Gaming. “Last year it was great, fantastic. This year … they are using the entire grounds for NerdCon. A lot more people have heard of Nerd-Con.” The three-day convention began on Aug. 26 with a badge pick-up and VIP party. Saturday and Sunday showcased a spectrum of vendors, fashion shows and cosplayers. Since Nerd-Con embraces all walks of nerd, the convention cast a wide net. From “Ghostbusters” to a mock Delorean from “Back to the Future” to the lesser-known magical worlds of comics and anime, the event had something for everyone. One such hit came in the form of four wizards dressed as the Beauxbatons, the all-girls school

Embattled Escondido Country Club housing project reveals more details By Steve Puterski
ESCONDIDO — Plans for the embattled Escondido Country Club have come to light. Last week, New Urban West Inc. (NWUI) released details of its project, which features 392 homes and amenities. Representatives from New Urban West Inc. (NUWI) were invited to meet last week with 20 to 25 residents to speak about elements of the plan including the range of homes, any assessments and other parts of the proposal. The project includes an average lot size of 4,000 square feet, while all homes would be two stories ranging from 1,800 to 2,900 square feet in three “villages.” According to NUWI, the homes will range in price from the low $500,000s to the high $600,000s. A percentage will be targeted for senior living, although no condos or apartments will be constructed. “Over the last several months, we have met personally with hundreds of country club residents to listen to their thoughts and ideas, their dreams and desires,” NUWI said in a statement. “Guided by their input, we have created a plan that features an expansive greenbelt and other amenities that will bring back the social fabric of the community that was once so vibrant. What we are proposing is a financially viable plan that will help breathe new life into a community that has suffered for far too long. Our hope is that we can move forward with continued input from the community as our collective work progresses toward an approved project.” However, ECCHO said it is still at odds with the developer claiming NUWI is not going to “engage in discussions with the ECCHO BoD (Board of Directors) or the larger ECCHO community as

was previously agreed,” according to a statement posted on Facebook. So, the ECCHO board has scheduled a community meeting to discuss the proposal for Sept. 20. “A lot of the community has not seen the latest proposal, but I believe the initial reaction from ECCHO supporters will be not to support NUW’s proposal,” said ECCHO President Mike Slater. “The voters in Escondido defeated a development plan by Stuck in the Rough (Proposition “H”) of approximately 400 homes by over 61 percent in November 2014. So, I can’t see any support for these many homes.” The project, meanwhile, proposes three villages consisting of 392 homes. Amenities include trails and restaurants open to the public along with a possible member-
ship to access the HOAbased clubhouse. In addition, a 30-acre, four-mile greenbelt, the clubhouse, pool and gym, tennis and pickleball courts and a community farm are included in the proposal. Current residents, meanwhile, are voicing concerns about increased traffic, water and schools. “Our mission is to preserve the existing green belt, expand recreational opportunities for the community, and protect the values of all homes in the Country Club area,” ECCHO said in a statement posted on Facebook. NUWI said it would not pursue assessments for existing residents as a majority of them declined a willingness to pay for the continuous maintenance. Those costs will be shuffled to the new residents. “In the early phases
San Marcos man shot, injured in Carlsbad Carlsbad Police still searching for suspect By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — Police are still searching for a gunman suspected of shooting a 45-year-old San Marcos man last week. Carlsbad police responded to a call of gunshots at 11:13 p.m. on Sept. 1 near San Elijo and Rancho Santa Fe roads. According to the victim’s friend, multiple shots were fired from the brush area off Avenida Soledad. The victim was struck once in his side and transported to Scripps Encinitas then Scripps La Jolla.
He underwent surgery and is in stable condition, according to CPD. Officers, meanwhile, contained the scene from northbound Camino Junipero to southbound Melrose Drive on Rancho Santa Fe Road. The SWAT team was called to the area and conducted a systematic search of the area to find the suspect. The unit used the Bearcat Rescue Vehicle for the search, although the suspect was not located. A reverse 9-1-1 call went out to the area asking residents to stay inside, but has since been lifted. The investigation is in its early stages.
Investigators do not feel this was a random act but a specific act between individuals. Investigators and evidence technicians were on scene collecting evidence, information about the suspect and about why the subjects were in the area. There is currently no suspect description, and it is unknown what type of weapon was used. According to the CPD press release, possibly a long gun or rifle was used. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the CPD at (760) 931-2197. To register for reverse 9-1-1 calls, visit readysandiego.org/alertsandiego.
of the project before the new neighborhoods are fully built out, the developer will have to pick up much of the maintenance costs if there is no help from the city,” NUWI said. “At the urging of the community, we have also begun pursuing an arrangement with the City of Escondido for the possible ownership and on-going maintenance of certain amenities.” The ECCHO community meeting is Sept. 20 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Life Church, 1001 W. Country Club Lane. NUWI will also hold meetings for residents near the new villages. Residents can register at vision4ecc.com or contact Community Coordinator Linda Bailey at (760) 4451323 or by email at lindab@nuwi.com. For information about the plan, visit vision4ecc.com.
ESCONDIDO — Depending on the semantics, it has been 10 years since the city’s last major industrial development project. Due to economic factors, such as the Great Recession, it has been tough for Escondido to land new proposals. However, Carlsbad-based Badiee Development is expected to become the first firm to break ground on a new project come mid-December. The developer is planning a sizable project, but must first get council approval. Nevertheless, Badiee plans to build the Escondido Victory Industrial Park, located at 2005 Harmony Grove Road. It calls for 91,00 square-feet of light industrial in two buildings on 5.24 acres. Badiee Development began the process last year, purchased the land for about $1.3 million and the $13.5 million construction project is expected to be finished by October 2017. “The Victory project is the biggest and most notable as of late,” Management Analyst Michelle Geller said. “They are confident they can lease it out.” While the city has rebounded from the 2008 economic crisis, industrial development has been slow. Geller said this is
the most notable project in the past 10 years, although Stone Brewing did add on to its campus. Geller, though, said the Victory Industrial Park project is unique because there is no specific target for the development. Scott Merry of Badiee Development said the goal

is to land a corporate headquarters, so the design and construction centers on a sharp exterior display. “It can be any range of tenant or corporate-type user,” he said. “Ideally, it would be one tenant. We are hoping (for a) corporate headquarter-type or somebody that has a business with a small amount of office component in front.” The project, though, must be approved by the pro-business city council, TURN TO PROJECT ON 21

The problem with Oceanside granting alcohol licenses ‘by-right’ By Kathy Derham
Toward a more perfect union By Rick Elkin
The controversy over the protest by Colin Kaepernick to remain seated during a pregame singing of the National Anthem is not about the young man. He is simply a symptom of the larger disease many Americans are suffering over the flawed assumption that we all love America in the same way. I don’t for a minute think Kaepernick hates America. Same with most Black Lives Matters people, or Occupy Wall Street or any number of disgruntled minority groups that yell obscenities at our veterans or walk on the American flag. I think, and I can only hope I am right, that he is doing something to bring attention to a condition that is, at least in his mind, deprecating the legacy of the America we all love. I want to believe Kaepernick is a truly patriotic American. Otherwise, I would have to assume he is just an idiot. His insular protest comes off as self absorbed and petulant. Not the best way to stir interest and sympathy for your cause. He may be confused, immature and misinformed, but I believe his motives are noble, and more importantly, he is by no means alone in his sentiments. That fact alone is extremely sad and disturbing. He is certainly right about one thing, there is conflict in our American family and we must confront it, or it will consume us. We can agree that there are pockets of extreme poverty, despair and violence in America. We can also agree that there is a disproportionate amount of crime and law enforcement activity in the poorest black neighborhoods, which more often than is acceptable,
leads to a tragic loss of life. No one element of our society is entirely to blame. The condition of the inner cities is a much bigger problem than any simplistic policy initiative, or symbolic protest by a football player, is going to fix. So here is my take: Instead of pointing out how many flaws, indignities and weaknesses that our homeland has, people like Kaepernick, who have issues with how authority is exercised in the poorest inner cities of our country, would serve their goals much more effectively by celebrating the American Dream, rather than disrespecting it.
the world a better place. They also represent true American ideals and are ambassadors for freedom and opportunity. Ditto with many other popular and successful black leaders such as Irvin “Magic” Johnson. Some of us disagree with Kaepernick’s way of protesting, but most Americans of any political persuasion agree that our nation is not perfect. Like any living, breathing thing, our Americanism is made up of humans. Our police departments are made up of humans. The inner cities are too. None of us are perfect. Politically, we have
Patriots who respect the ideals of America aspire to build communities, not to divide and destroy them. By pointing to his own experience as an example of how it can be realized, and then, in more private ways, Kaepernick could put together nonprofit foundations, support volunteer action committees and neighborhood representatives who, in the true spirit of American-style entrepreneurial action and opportunity, would work toward a consolidated resolution of the injustices he is pointing at, which certainly do occur. This kind of direct action would engender widespread support, from all walks of politics and race. Patriots who respect the ideals of America aspire to build communities, not to divide and destroy them. Bill and Melinda Gates develop and operate hundreds of charities and foundations all over the world. No one can challenge their efforts to make
our differences, but ideologically, we are all Americans. We are family. It is vital that we all appreciate how so many imperfect fellow Americans, of all persuasions, have historically sacrificed so much, just so all of us descendants of the much harder times before and during the founding of our unique experiment in human self management, could be handed the opportunity, and dare I say, the obligation, to work together toward a more perfect union.
City leaders from Oceanside and throughout California want to create ‘vibrant entertainment districts’ to bring residents and visitors out to socialize and spend money. This often means adding more alcohol sales and services. I support bringing new business to Oceanside, but when this “vibrancy” is 100 feet from my home and lasts until midnight, it disrupts the quality of life for me and my neighbors. The January opening of the Urge Gastropub/Mason Ale Works immediately impacted the neighborhood around Vista Way and Coast Highway. The location previously held a bank, then a clothing store. The booming brewpub now brings people from throughout North County. The brewery’s capable of making up to 5,000 barrels of beer annually, yet city leaders said it, along with a cocktail-and-whiskey bar, was allowed “by-right” because they were ancillary to the restaurant. Great for the pub owners, but bad for the neighborhood. We’ve experienced cars, tour buses and limousines driving and parking on our street; beer delivery trucks idling in front of homes; noisy, late-night patrons leaving the premises; and employees and patrons taking smoke breaks just outside our bedroom windows. California Business and Professions Code, Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) rule 61.4 says a new alcohol license won’t be issued if the business or its parking lot is located within 100 feet of a residence, unless the business proves it won’t interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the property by residents. A reasonable interpretation: In a residential community where previous
wouldn’t fit their business model. Urge’s location is within 100 feet of residences, and is in a high crime area with more than the number of on-sale licenses ‘allowed’ by ABC. Yet ABC recommended approval and testified on behalf of the applicant. No lawyers were provided to protect the residents’ constitutional right to the quiet enjoyment of our property, or to represent “the people.”All of the taxpayer-funded ABC representatives represented or testified for the license applicant. The entire process of opposing an alcohol license is time-consuming and complicated, and stacked against resident concerns. That’s why I’m speaking out against Oceanside’s proposal to allow certain alcohol licenses “by right.” The city currently allows restaurants “by right” which has led to conflict and complaints in South Oceanside. According to Public Convenience or Necessity, California Council on Alcohol Policy, March 2006, “Localities with robust Conditional Use Permit’s (CUP) enjoy real and sustained benefits — zoning applicants are thoroughly screened, public input is heightened, and the potentially risky element of retail alcohol sales in a community is explicitly debated. Such local processes allow communities to better shape their retail alcohol availability through active use of zoning powers — both in intervening with problem outlets today and preventing undue concentration problems in the future.” That is what we need in Oceanside, not automatic approval of bars, restaurants and breweries with no local input.

businesses closed at five, the ABC wouldn’t allow a brewpub with a parking lot 100 feet from your home. However, I’ve learned the ABC simply ignores its own rules designed to protect public welfare and safety. Also, Section 23958 says the ABC won’t allow a license that would “tend to create a law enforcement problem, or if issuance would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses, except as provided in Section 23958.4.” An on-sale license authorizes the sale of all types of alcoholic beverages on the premises. Undue concentration refers to either crime rate (120% higher than city average), or exceeding the ratio of on-sale licenses to population in a census tract. This location has both high crime (165 percent higher than city average) and high ratio of on-sale licenses (seven are allowed in the census tract and Urge became the 11th). “Except” appears to be the operating principle of the ABC. Section 23958.4 allows the applicant to show that “public convenience or necessity is served.” Urge claims to have satisfied this vague requirement because they offer “unique burgers and an upscale menu” and the next closest brewery is 1,125 feet away. Three neighbors and I protested the license in Nov. 12, 2014, when we learned of plans for the gastropub. Urge was granted an interim ABC license in December 2015 and opened in January 2016. The hearing on the protests didn’t happen until August. I was the only person who protested that was able to attend the hearing. Before the hearing, I offered to withdraw my protest if they would close at 10 p.m., a reasonable hour for most restaurants. They said that

Dressage rider brings home Rio Bronze By Tony Cagala
CARMEL VALLEY — A narrow paved road winds down a small hill. Along the way, on the right side of the road, begins a white fence adorned with American flags on each fence post. The road splits off to the right, leading to Arroyo Del Mar — the boarding and training facility that’s home to Steffen Peters, an accomplished dressage rider and member of the USA’s equestrian team. Peters, home from winning the Bronze medal recently at the Rio Games, emerged from one of the barn’s stables, he’d just finished his morning ride. Betty, his black labradoodle was by his side. For the past three months, Betty has been waiting at home each night for him to return, Peters said. During those three months that Betty was waiting for her owner’s return, Peters was in Europe, showing at events and preparing for the Rio Olympics. On a Monday morning tour of the barn, Betty shadowed Peters’ every move. As a kid growing up in Wesel, Germany, located in the northwestern portion of the country, his parents had a hard time keeping him away from dogs — especially if it was a shy dog. He explained that he’d always wanted to make friends with a dog, or try and get the animal’s trust. “I still find that, nowadays, extremely fascinating to deal with animals that have a little bit Team USA dressage rider Steffen Peters at his home in Carmel Valley where he keeps of a fragile personality,” Peters his medals, including his most recent, a Bronze medal from the Rio Olympics.

come around, I find that extremely fascinating.” He found the same attachment to horses, too. At 7 years old, Peters was introduced to horses. His sister Anke was taking riding lessons at a pony club near their house, close to the Dutch border. Anke urged him to come along, he explained, and one day, he did. With very supportive parents, and a love for animals, riding and the sport of dressage became a priority. While the sport of dressage was always a focus for him, he did some jumping, because, he said, the thought was that dressage was just for the girls in the beginning, because it wasn’t that cool. Peters compares dressage to something like ballet or ice skating on a horse. In dressage, the horse and rider perform a number of complicated and intricate movements. “Everything is supposed to look extremely effortlessly from the rider’s communication standpoint,” he said. Applying leg pressure shouldn’t be noticed, the horse is supposed to look very steady and happy, he added. They’re judged on the expression of the movement, on the regularity of the movement and the harmony between rider and horse. Historically, dressage was a military discipline. According to the United States Dressage Federation, it began out of the need of military horses to be obedient and maneuverable. Over the cen-
turies, a training system for the horses was established, and in the 1900 Paris Olympic games, equestrian events, such as dressage, first appeared. Peters is no stranger to the military either. In Germany, he served his mandatory two-year service as a driver of the Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 tanks. It would take him two times, though, to earn his license. One of the big no-nos of driving a tank on city streets, he recalled his instructor telling him, was hitting pedestrian curbs. “Because it flattens (the curb) because of the weight,” he said. “And I was 10 minutes into my test and I flattened the curb. So I failed my first test. The second time I did OK.” Peters was able to keep riding while serving, receiving encouragement from the military. He knew before coming to the U.S. that competing in the Olympics was a very realistic dream. Peters credits his parents for the opportunity to come to the U.S. as a 21-year-old with not much else except for a horse named Udon. His parents, Hans Hermann Peters and Doris Peters, had purchased Udon as a 3-year-old, and it would wind up performing as an 18-year-old in the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta, Ga., where Peters earned his first bronze medal. In 1984 Peters came to San Diego, renting a garage in Carmel Valley for $200. He had a moTURN TO PETERS ON 21

Church members came together to assemble new backpacks and filled them with school supplies such as notebooks, paper, crayons, pencils, and glue sticks. The backpacks were then delivered to Glen View Elementary School in Escondido, for each student and teacher. Backpacks also were given to youngsters who attend The Bridge after-school program, sponsored by Emmanuel Faith. Courtesy photo
Some cost cutting tips for your next BBQ outing Northbound vince vasquez
H
ow did you spend your Labor Day weekend in North County? I ended up with a few lessons I’d like to share. I sent about a dozen texts to close friends to see who would like to come over my house for a barbecue, and wasn’t sure on how much food to purchase. I’m not a big fan of the traditional burger BBQ — cooking burgers requires someone to stand over a grill for most of the party, and I needed to play host. Burger meat is also really pricey, and burgers require so many additional components (tomatoes, cheese slices, onions, lettuce, et al) and customization options (veggie patties) that I thought I’d skip all that and plan a far cheaper menu — Baja chicken street tacos, salad, and Spanish rice, with other simple appetizer dishes coming from friends. I shared my Baja chicken recipe in my last column, but it’s a very simple marinade you can use with any cut of chicken. I chose drumsticks and thighs. Chicken is far cheaper than beef patties — about 79 cents a pound versus $4 a pound. You can make a lot of Spanish rice cheaply — it’s just white rice,
canned tomato sauce, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. I found three cups of rice was plenty for my party — that was probably something like 18 to 20 servings. My cheap salad was made from a large pack of romaine lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers. For those BBQ traditionalists, I bought two packs of generic hot dogs and hot dog buns, probably $7 total. Now, every backyard party needs games, and I like cornhole (bean bag toss) and jumbo Jenga. Running short on time, I was really considering buying these games on Amazon, which would have been more than $200 for a two-day shipment. But that’s just foolish. I asked a friend to bring his cornhole set, and went off for some DIY experience by making a jumbo Jenga set that I’d like to share with you. First, purchase six 2-foot by 4-foot by 8-foot pieces of plywood; I chose from the whitewood pile at my local Home Depot. Pick out the straightest pieces with the fewest knots. There’s no need to rent any power tools; Home Depot offers free in-store lumber cutting for customers. Knowing it would take some time to cut my wood, I went in on an early Sunday morning. Ask a sales rep to cut each piece to 10.5 inches. This should net you 54 pieces. Take the pieces home and sand them using 100 grade sanding paper (I ended up using six sanding sheets). Next, use foodgrade oil to finish your
pieces of wood; I decided to buy a bottle of butcher block mineral oil at the store. Sanding and finishing took me three hours. In all, I spent about $24 and a few hours to save me $80 to $100. You can continue to customize your set with wood staining, or painting the ends with extra house paint you may have tucked away in your garage. Well, I’m happy to report that the jumbo Jenga set I made was a huge hit at my barbecue. It’s such an easy family-friendly game to play, and it’s actually quite competitive once you get into it! So, some clear lessons here: an inexpensive BBQ menu is possible; and when in doubt, borrow or build it yourself. Here’s hoping you have a great barbecue this fall — there’s still plenty of great sunshine and time left over! Vince Vasquez is an economist based in Torrey Pines. He is a Carlsbad resident.

cially by me. I am not here to indict my husband. He married me because I tend to be a smidge independent. Had I waited for him to fix things, I would not have tasted this lovely feeling of control over my environment (or is empowerment the currently appropriate term?). Whatever it is, it feels grand. Generally, fixing things takes time I don’t have, and lots of patience, which rarely possess. My motivation has to be strong. However, at the end of any given month and paycheck, the desire to throw things out and buy new ones, gets pretty thin. I have been known to go on a rampage with the WD-40 and my hot glue gun. I unstuck car door locks, renewed sliding glass door tracks and pried that annoying water-saver screen out of my new faucet. I put a stop to the rust around one bathroom faucet with grout and glued a cracked toilet seat that rudely
pinched every guest who sat upon it. My absolute favorite success was one I really shouldn’t admit. The method I chose has gotten me into lots of trouble in the past. Still, I will never give it up entirely, since it occasionally works so darn well. Somehow, a small, wayward piece of paper drifted down into my gas gauge, trapped beneath two layers of dashboard plastic. It not only blocked my view of the gauge but also jammed it at about the quarter-tank mark. These things happen when your car is about to celebrate its 10th birthday. After serious planning to take it into the dealer for a new gauge, I lost patience (as noted above). In a “whatthe-heck-it’s-broken-anyway” moment, I took a heavy object and whacked the living fire out of the gas gauge area of the dash. Guess what? That nasty little piece of paper dropped out of sight and my gauge was back to normal. I not only saved myself the cost of a trip to the dealer, I gained a lovely drop in my blood pressure. “If I have to, I can do anything.” But most of the time I still wish I didn’t have to.

Breakthrough relief for back pain and sciatica By Sam Potter
Death Valley National Park is a place of extremes. The parched landscaped is surrounded by snow-covered peaks, and brief torrential rains can turn the valley into a sea of wildflowers in the spring. The second-lowest point in the Western Hemisphere is here; Badwater Basin is 282 feet below sea level. Winter winds blow from the north and summer winds blow from the south, so the sand dunes remain stable. Photo by Wanda Stiles

IF YOU suffer from low back pain and sciatica, you are one of over 20 million adults in the US with this often crippling spinal condition. Shooting, stabbing and burning pains from the low back, sometimes with additional pain through the buttocks and down the legs are all symptoms of a pinched nerves often called “sciatica”. In severe cases, it can lead to muscle wasting, numbness and constant tingling down to the tip of the toes. Left untreated, the intense pain can rapidly wear you down and drain the joy out of life. That is, until now... Recent advances in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain have led to the development and huge success of Non-Surgical Re-Constructive Spinal Care. The excellent results of this treatment have been published in major medical journals. With success rates as high as 90% some back surgeons recommending their patients try this treatment first before having back surgery. In Vista, you can try Non-Surgical Re-constructive Spinal Care at the Neck Pain, Back Pain and Headache Relief Clinic – the office of low back pain and sciatica relief expert Jason Gestring DC. Jason and his team have helped over 3,000 patients find relief from their agonizing back pain and sciatica.
According to Jason, “We use ultra precision motion analysis x-rays not found elsewhere in Vista, for precisely diagnosing the cause of your low back pain and sciatica; and a unique program for reconstructing the damaged area causing the pain; this means superior long-term results for most people.” Because the treatment is non-surgical, safe and easy, most patients report an almost immediate relief from their pain.

SAN MARCOS — Palomar College is seeking to fill four vacancies on the Proposition M Bond Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee (ICOC). Those interested in applying should identify as a student enrolled and active in a Palomar College support group (such as student government); a member of the community atlarge; a member active in a senior citizens’ organization; and an individual active in a bona fide taxpayers association. ICOC members are appointed and applications are required, along with approval by the Palomar College Governing Board. The ICOC oversees how the college expends nearly $700 million from Proposition M, the facilities bond measure voters approved in November 2006. The committee is responsible for ensuring that bond proceeds are expended only for the purposes described in the Proposition M ballot measure. Individuals interested in these appointed positions can obtain an application on Palomar’s website at palomar.edu/propm/icoc/ or by calling Shawna Cohen in Employment Services, (760) 744-1150, ext. 2608. Applications are available until the position is filled. Candidates must be at least 18 years old and must reside within the Palomar Community College District, which stretches from Camp Pendleton and part of Oceanside in the west, to Borrego Springs in the east, and from the Riverside County line to Poway and Rancho Peñasquitos. A majority of the ICOC members must possess ex-
pertise in one or more of the following areas: large-scale construction operations, municipal/public finance, expertise with agency/entity budgeting, and project management. The committee may not include any employee or official of the district, or any vendor, contractor or consultant of the district. The terms of service are generally two years, with a maximum of three terms and ICOC members are not compensated. The college anticipates that the ICOC will meet quarterly. The ICOC bylaws stipulate the group will receive and review the district’s annual independent performance audit and annual independent financial audit; inspect college facilities and grounds for which bond proceeds have been or will be expended; review district efforts to maximize bond proceeds; inform the public and governing board about the district’s bond expenditures; present an annual written report to the Board; and provide other input. The Proposition M measure allows Palomar to carry out its Facilities Master Plan. Prop M is a 15-year building and re-building program which has already begun for Palomar’s San Marcos campus, Escondido Center as well as the district’s two new proposed centers located in Fallbrook (North Education Center) and Rancho Bernardo (South Education Center). With state matching funds, total facility expenditures may reach nearly $1 billion. Projects funded through Prop M are expected to continue into 2022/23 Fiscal year.

LaMontagne starting to see the actual music By Alan Sculley
Ray LaMontagne has been on the music scene for a dozen years now, releasing six albums that have enjoyed considerable popularity and acclaim. His second album, “Till the Sun Turns Black,” reached No. 28 on “Billboard” magazine’s album chart, and he followed up that popular release in 2008 with “Gossip in the Grain,” and saw that album debut at No. 3 on the “Billboard” album chart. Subsequent albums have only seen LaMontagne’s profile and critical reputation grow, with 2010’s “God Willin’ & The Creek Don’t Rise” winning a Grammy in 2011 for Best Contemporary Folk Album. But LaMontagne, in a recent phone interview, said he feels only with his two most recent albums, 2014’s “Supernova” and his newest effort, “Ouroboros,” has he started to see the actual music matching the vision he had for it before it was recorded. “It takes practice and it takes work,” he said, summing up the growth he sees in himself as a songwriter and recording artist. “I feel fortunate that I was able to do that while making records. It’s still difficult. I can’t listen to early records at all. All I hear is, I hear myself trying really hard, and that’s all I can hear. And I don’t like them. I don’t like the sound of them. I don’t like the way they were recorded — nothing. But ‘Supernova’ for me was a breakthrough. It was a breakthrough in the writing process and it was also a

es in making that record,” LaMontagne said. “But sonically, it just sounds so beautiful to me, and this (“Ouroboros”) record as well. I really feel with these two records, I think I’m on my way to making probably the best albums of my career, for sure.” If LaMontagne is right about where he stands with his music, he is bringing more of his musical ideas to fruition, while becoming more ambitious musically and less predictable to his fans. Especially with “Supernova” (which was produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys) and now “Ouroboros,” LaMontagne has expanded his sound, building from the rather straight-forward folk-rock of his early albums to a palate that is more eclectic, with influences ranging from Laurel Canyon ‘70s country to Brit-pop and psychedelic rock finding their way into his songs. “Ouroboros” pushes the stylistic envelope harder than any of LaMontagne’s five previous albums. It works as an eightsong, 40-minute single suite of music, rather than a collection of separate songs. Work on the album, which LaMontagne co-produced with Jim James

tion that it is hard to find a simple, basic burger at many restaurants around town. Most seem to be loaded with gourmet toppings and of course the ever-present egg that can mask what a great burger is all about and that’s the meat, simple toppings, and a fresh bun designed to hold it together, not explode after the first bite. I’m not sure I need a burger that is ground with bacon either. My perfect patty starts with the fattest blend possible, at least 80/20 and never labeled lean. Fat equals flavor and moisture in a burger and that’s my objective. All that said there is a happy medium where simple burger meets toppings that do not dominate the experience. I’d like to think I created that burger nirvana locally when I recently introduced my chef-consultant friend Michael Zonfrilli to Chris Van Alyea at Solterra as someone I would trust to help freshen up the menu there. All I asked for in return for the connection was that they include a simple burger on the menu as an option to their current, and very popular Navarra Lamb burger. The introduction was successful and my wish was granted. They really have the perfect burger scenario with a healthy 8-ounce portion of either the lamb or Niman Ranch beef with lettuce, tomato, onion, Manchego cheese, and truffle aioli on a fresh brioche bun from Sadie Rose. No overkill on the toppings and a nice gourmet touch with the Manchego and truffle aioli. You can also choose a mixed greens salad or patatas bravas on the side. TURN TO LICK THE PLATE ON 20

Kathy Griffin takes stage at California Center for the Arts ESCONDIDO — One of comedy’s most accomplished performers is taking the stage Saturday at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Two-time Emmy and Grammy Award-winning comedian Kathy Griffin will no doubt deliver her rapid-fire wit, outrageous musings on popular culture and hilarious celebrity anecdotes in the concert hall. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Her ability to break through the entertainment clutter with her universally recognized brand of pull-nopunches comedy, expects to make this show one of a kind. Griffin is a prominent figure on television, on tour and in publishing. She’s perhaps widely known for her role as the best friend to Brooke Shields on NBC’s “Suddenly Susan” as well as her own hugely popular reality TV show, “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.” Buoyed by her dedicated fans, Griffin’s live standup performances are legendary and in a class of their own. She has performed at sold out shows everywhere

from New York City’s Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. In 2013, Kathy Griffin was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records for writing and starring in an unprecedented 20 televised stand-up-specials — more than any comedian in history. She’s co-hosted the CNN New Year’s Eve special with Anderson Cooper since 2007. Additionally, she is one of television’s go-to-hosts for premier live events and has
hosted The Billboard Music Awards, the 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards and AARP’s Movies for Grownups Gala. In 2014, Griffin made history with her sixth consecutive Grammy nomination and first win for “Best Comedy Album” (Kathy Griffin: Calm Down Gurrl), joining Whoopi Goldberg and Lily Tomlin as the only other female comedians to ever win a Grammy for “Best Comedy Album.” Aside from stand-up
comedy shows, hosting at events and television features, Kathy Griffin’s boisterous and revealing memoir, “Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin,” debuted at No. 1 on the coveted New York Times Bestseller List. She’s also won various additional awards and honors, including The Human Rights Campaign’s Ally for Equality, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of American’s Leadership in Entertainment honor, GLAAD’s Vanguard Award, The Trevor Life Award from the Trevor Project, and a Gracie Award for “Outstanding Female Lead.” The concert hall has a capacity of 1,523 seats, while the center boasts a 404-seat theater, a contemporary art museum, art and dance studios, and a full-service conference center with meeting and banquet facilities. The Center is located at 340 N. Escondido Blvd. in Escondido. The ticket office can be reached at (800) 988-4253. Tickets can also be purchased online.

Cal State San Marcos christens The Sports Center By Aaron Burgin
SAN MARCOS — The 250 guests, mostly clad in royal blue and black, sat under a white canopy on a warm Sept. 1 afternoon. They sang the school fight song, cheered on the school’s dance troupe and clapped as the band played the alma mater. At most universities, this scene happens almost on a weekly basis on game day. But this is all new to the students, athletes and administrators at Cal State San Marcos as Sept. 1 marked the ribbon-cutting for the university’s newest addition: the 1,400-seat Sports Center, which officials hailed as a “missing link” for its sports teams looking for a home and a campus looking for a rallying point. “Eighteen months ago it was just a dirt lot, and I joined members of our extraordinary athletic depart-
ment in donning hard hats ... while behind us stood an artist rendering of what would one day become home for Cal State San Marcos’ athletics,” CSUSM President Karen Haynes said. “As you can see today...that artist’s rendering is a reality and more. That dirt lot has been transformed into a state of the art center for CSUSM athletics. But more than remarkable aesthetics is that we have created another rallying point of pride for our campus and our community.” The $11.4 million Sports Center was completed this summer, and the university’s indoor athletics programs — Men’s and Women’s basketball and Women’s volleyball — have been practicing in it since the summer. But the Sept. 1 ribbon-cutting offered the general public the first opportunity to tour the facility before the Cougars Women’s
Volleyball team played its first game in the Sports Center later that evening. The gym has a maximum capacity of 2,200 people, but seats 1,400, which was by design, officials said. “We did research and learned that the average Division II home attendance at sporting events is between 500 to 900,” said Mathew Berson, a spokesman for the athletics department. “If you build the gym too big, you get that empty feeling, which is what we didn’t want to do.” The gym was a critical part of the school’s transition from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, or NAIA, to the NCAA Division II. The school enters the final year of its transitional period, and will become a full-fledged member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association conference in fall 2017. The Sept. 1 ceremony included a pep rally during which the school unveiled its new fight song, and a performance by the Cougars dance team and the San Marcos High School Band. It also included speeches by CSUSM Women’s Volleyball Coach Andrea Leonard and Athletic Director Jennifer Milo, who referred to the facility as a “game changer.”
“I am confident when I say that now we are the envy of over 300 NCAA Division II institutions,” Milo said. “This facility truly has been our missing link since 2010, when we started sponsoring volleyball and basketball.” The university’s indoor sports programs have boasted gaudy records since their inception, all the while playing in front of sparse crowds at local junior college and high-school gymnasiums, including Pacific Ridge and Escondido high schools and MiraCosta College. “It’s awesome to finally be able to only have to walk across the street or across campus to get to a game, not get on the 78 freeway and drive 20 minutes,” said Brooke Butler, a senior outside hitter for the Cougars volleyball team. “We are playing for all of our teammates who didn’t have a chance to play in this new gym.” Butler said she believed that the Sports Center represents a turning point for the campus, which has struggled to build an on-campus life. “It changes things when you have an arena, it becomes the center of campus,” Butler said. “I’m just excited and grateful to be part of the group that gets to open it up.”
some. “I think that is the key,’’ Philip Rivers said about winning games in the AFC West. The Chargers open their last season in these parts on Sunday and haven’t we written that before? Actually no one knows where this band of football players will end up. But we’re more concerned with this story’s first chapter than its last. Rivers takes his bunch into Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium this weekend, where the Chiefs will be waiting. That and some 76,000 crazed fans that’ll be loud, proud and in full tomahawk mode midway through the first quarter. And it’s the season’s opening quarter that concerns the Chargers. Start fast and it often parlays into a good season and just maybe some votes this fall for the team’s new downtown stadium measure. Start slow and all of sudden there’s chatter about coach Mike McCoy’s hot seat, whispers about general manager Tom Telesco’s lack of building a playoff contender and the City of Angels looking to swipe the Chargers, with the devil in the details. See why the Chargers must break from the gate? Could Sunday really be the day they win an AFC West game? There’s countless reasons why the team produced last year’s stinker, that unsightly 4-12 season which was its worst since 2003. But nothing eclipses the Chargers’ dismal showing in the division, where it took a bagel after six tries. That extended the Chargers losing streak in the AFC West to eight games. Good luck doing anything if you don’t shine among those that know you
best. “We’ve always talked about winning games in the division,’’ said Rivers, as he sets sail on his 13th season. “Yeah, you can lose those six but you better win the next 10. That’s just not the way it sets up.’’ The Chargers’ slate has them playing four AFC West games in their first eight contests. By midseason, the Chargers will have a good idea if they’ll make the playoffs for the second time in seven seasons. “You have to win games in the division,’’ Rivers stressed. “When we have been 3-3 or better, we have had a chance, we’ve been right there. When we are not, we are not even around. We definitely know how important those division games are and we got to get back to winning them.’’ So how does the AFC West landscape shape up, No. 17? “I think it has a chance to be one of the more salty, tough divisions in the league, I really do,’’ Rivers said. “Four or five years ago it was regarded by many to be a weak division. And now, shoot, it’s arguably one of the best. “We know what Denver’s been. They won the Super Bowl last year and have been the division champs now for a handful of years (five) in a row. I think they are the top dog until they aren’t. “Obviously Kansas City got in last year and won a playoff game and won their last, shoot, however many (10) in a row. “Shoot, Oakland is kind of the hot team, with people talking about Oakland.’’ Shucks, that’s a lot of “shoots” and where do the Chargers fit among their AFC West colleagues after beating them just twice in two years? “Shoot, we lost all six games (last year) so we can’t put ourselves up there yet,’’ Rivers said. “But I do think our expectation is to win the division. We believe in here that we can go from the very bottom to winning the division. “There’s a lot of things that we have to do to make that happen but I think it’s going to be all four teams I would imagine battling for a long time.’’ The time is Sunday for the Chargers to flip their AFC West script. Returning from Kansas City with something other than barbecue sauce under their fingernails would be welcomed. “ C h a m p i o n s h i p s ,’ ’ Rivers said, “start in the division.’’ Follow Jay Paris on Twitter at jparis_sports.

Gig Life illustrated in Cox home of the future Do you know how much Internet speed your home needs? Today, the average household is connecting six devices in the home to the Internet, from laptops and tablets to gaming and multiple smartphones, and that number is expected to increase in the near future. Cox Communications recently hosted an event in San Diego to demonstrate how gigabit speed is quickly turning the home of the future into the home of today for busy families, work-from-home professionals, gamers, budding musicians and future chefs. What does “gigabit speed” really mean? Gigabit speed is Internet that’s 100 times faster than the average speed. With gig speed, you can download 100 songs in three seconds, a full-length HD movie in less than 60 seconds or upload 1,000 photos in about a minute. Cox Communications has been delivering gigabit Internet speed to business customers for more than a decade, and now it’s focusing on providing ultra-fast gig speed to all of its residential customers.

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

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

They are then transplanted into tiny incisions in the balding areas. “This is essentially the ‘one hair at a time’ method,” Wagner said. “The hairs are extracted the same way they grow, in naturally occurring clusters.” This is in contrast to FUG, in which donor harvesting is extracted from a strip.

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

We are only limited by low donor density and whether there are prior hair transplant scars.” Another advantage to FUE is that the recovery is much quicker. Additionally, it’s ideal for clients who prefer to wear their hair short and would feel prohibited by having a large linear scar. “The tiny circular marks where the donor hairs have been extracted are usually undetectable,” Wagner said.

Explained Newman, about the shows’ success, “It’s just fun to be a horse.”

Richard Olson, Sr. August 29, 2016
Richard Olson, Sr died peacefully on August 29, 2016 He was universally admired for his gentle sense of humor, hard work, high ethical standards and extensive volunteer activities in the Oceanside community. Dick was the son of an Oregon pioneer logging family. Born in Seaside, Oregon on July 1, 1927 he was raised on a farm in the rural Pacific Northwest. Life was difficult. As a teenager his outside jobs included standing waist-deep in river water heaving firewood into a paper mill boiler and pounding rivets smooth inside the empty hulls of Columbia River Liberty Ships. “The pain only lasted a few days.” As a consequence Dick suffered profound hearing loss later in life. After trying to enlist at 16 he finally entered the Army in 1945 and was sent to Alaska, where he said there was one stop light in Anchorage and Mt McKinley “filled the sky”. Dick was thankful the atomic bomb ended the war before the anticipated invasion of Japan, as are his children!

GI Bill, Dick graduated from pharmacy school at Oregon State University. It was in a neighborhood drug store that he met and later married a co-ed from Mills College, Eileen Yergen. She was the love of his life and their marriage lasted over fifty years. Together they raised a family and built a drug store business in suburban Portland, Oregon. Eileen died of natural causes in 2006. In retirement Dick and Eileen forsook their Oregon pioneer roots and moved to sunny Oceanside, where his joints moved better and her asthma went away. They became active in community affairs, collecting books and donations for the Oceanside Senior Center and Dick served on the Oceanside Senior Council for many years. He was proud of his role in creating the El Corazon Senior Center, where a gold plaque bears his name. Dick is survived by his dear friend Betty Hoke and his adoring family: son Richard Olson, Jr, MD, his wife Mary, and their children Charles Olson and Elliott Olson; daughter Judith Olson and her children Juliet Mousseau, RSCJ and Douglas Mousseau and two great-grandchildren; and son Stephen, his wife Endang and children Ryan, Lance and Amberleigh His memorial service will be held at the Oceanside Community Church on September 24 at 11 AM. Contributions in his name can be made to the El Corazon Senior Center at 3303 Senior Center Drive I Oceanside, CA 92054 or to the charity of your choice.

Del Mar swimmer has gold in sights at Paralympics By Tony Cagala
DEL MAR — For someone who feels as natural in the water as anything, Roy Perkins Jr., is contemplating hanging up the goggles. Though the Del Mar resident has a couple of things he wants accomplish later this month before making any final decisions about that — namely, winning another gold medal at the Paralympic Games in Rio. His other goal: beating longtime rival and Brazilian swimmer Daniel Dias. “It’s kind of like an all or nothing thing,” Perkins, 26, said. “Not that I couldn’t come back next time, but I’ve put so much training into this. Also my main rival is from Brazil, so that kind of puts emphasis on it.” The swimmers have exchanged wins and losses for “forever,” according to Perkins’s coach Don Watkinds. Between them, all the competitions have been won or lost within a couple tenths of a second, said Watkinds. Perkins has never beaten him in freestyle, which is something he said he wants to do this time around. But Perkins, who was born without hands and feet, said his swim year has been filled with some ups and downs, though he added that he’s peaking just at the right time for the Paralympics. Learning to swim some 13 years ago, Perkins remembers the feeling he had on first entering the pool. “I just remember it was kind of a weird feeling,” Perkins said. “Not necessarily bad, just a new environment. I never would have imagined that I’d be competing for the gold medal doing that,” he said. Now, he doesn’t think twice about being in the water. That much is apparent with the number of medals he’s already won. For the swimmer whose best event is the 50-meter butterfly, he brought home a gold medal from the 2008 Beijing Games in that race. Over his two appearances in the Paralympic Games, the other being the 2012 London Games, he’s won six medals, including the gold.
When Watkinds first met Perkins 13 years ago he didn’t know what kind of swimmer — if one at all — Perkins would be. “He (Perkins) wanted to swim and we had a place to swim,” Watkinds said. It began simply enough. After a year of working together, though, he could see the swimmer’s potential emerging. “He put in the time, he put in the work and he put in the effort, both mentally and physically,” Watkinds said. “And at that point you knew that we had a chance to be competitive and to do something,” he said. Watkinds has spent many years training swimmers that eventually went on to compete in the Paralympics. After not winning the gold medal in London, Perkins said the last four years have been focused on getting back to the center podium. “The hard training is actually done,” he said as he readies to head to Rio. “I’m in the pool everyday, but not swimming really hard.” As a veteran competitor in the Paralympic Games, Perkins, who Watkinds described as “quiet,” but who has a “great sense of humor,” is expecting to help the younger and first time athletes adjust. “Definitely,” Perkins
said. “It can be a little overwhelming, and having been to two, I think really helps. I’m expecting to be very calm and relaxed. At least I am right now. There’s always a little bit of nerves once I get there.” But a few months ago, he took a trip to Rio to get a sneak peek at the venues. “It should be pretty smooth for me, so hopefully I can help some of the newer people adjust to it,” Perkins said. He hasn’t heard from other Team USA swimmers that have already competed in the Olympics about what to expect, though. What Watkinds envisions for Perkins this time around: “All golds, of course,” he said with a laugh. Even though it might be Perkins’s last games, Watkinds said physically, he’s capable of coming back and winning again. “If he decides he wants to do it, he’s well within his abilities to come back and do his best-ever swims,” Watkinds said.

I’ve gone for their fancy gourmet selections but again find that less is more in this category. For that classic diner burger Encinitas Café works every time. The Red Rooster in Oceanside, home of the Rooster Burger is a classic bar burger that is a flat-top fried patty topped with grilled onions and best eaten at the bar with a cold beer. I’ve had a conundrum for a long time with the whole grass-fed beef movement, or at least the one in California. I’ve heard that any area raising grass-fed beef
here has to be heavily irrigated to grow that grass. That does not make a lot of sense to me but maybe I’m missing something. If the cattle are grazing in an area where rain is plentiful and the grass grows naturally that would appear to be the best scenario for healthy, well marbled beef. When I do a burger at home there are only two ways I will cook it, either over a wood and charcoal blend or on a red-hot cast iron skillet. If I have some time, the wood and charcoal mix is preferred but I’ve found that as with steak,
I can control the temperature and the outer crisp of the burger best on cast iron. Again, I find at least an 80/20 lean to fat ratio and sometimes even mix in some ground pork. Salt and pepper both sides of the patty and let it sit out and get close to room temperature before placing it on the very hot skillet or grill. Cook it to your favorite temperature with a slice of cheese melted on top, a fresh bun that’s been buttered and grilled to a golden crunch brown on the pan or grill, then keep the condiments and
toppings simple. There is so much more to write about his simple pleasure, but that’s all I have room for this week. Check out Solterra’s new burger and menu offerings at 934 N. Coast Highway 101 or (760) 230-2979 or solterrawinery.com.
TASTE OF WINE
leaves, and trimming the stem at the bottom. Open the leaves and stuff with mixed breadcrumbs, grated cheese, ground garlic and sweet basil. Drizzle over the top of the leaves with olive oil and white wine. Place the artichokes in a baking dish with a small amount of water in the dish. Cover the artichokes with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 1½ hours. The stuffed leaves should pull out easily
when they are done. To eat, grab each leaf by the top and scrape out the pulp with the delicious stuffing, with your teeth. Now on to the wines, a selection of six, with each guest encouraged to, “taste them all and note the changes in taste with the Carciofi.” The wines chosen for this party were: • Gerard Bertrand Cote des Rosé France (2015; $12). • Cantina Zaccagnini Montepuciano, Italy
(2013; $12). • The Prisoner blend, Napa Valley, Calif. (2014; $35). • Ferrari Carano UNA blend, Sonoma Calif. (2014; $39). • Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Calif. ($75).

larized as a delicacy by the Greeks, Spanish, Italians and French. In America, California produces 42,000 tons, with nearly 100 percent of the U.S. crop in the City of Castroville, proclaiming itself the “Artichoke Center of the World.” But this is still far behind Italy with over 500 thousand tons produced. Briefly, stuffed Carciofi is made after cutting off the top thorns of the
David Boylan is the founder of Artichoke Creative an Encinitas based integrated marketing firm. He also hosts Lick the Plate Radio that airs Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. on FM94/9, Easy 98.1, and KSON. Reach him at david@artichoke-creative. com or (858) 395-6905.
These wines range from light and airy with the rosé for those that love a wine that was simpatico with the artichoke flavor, to heavy bodied and tannic with the Cabernet for the guests that wanted a pairing with the strong garlic and cheesy element in the stuffing. One Carciofi is easily enough for a meal. I suggest that all the food you need is in that one fat, plump artichoke. More details on the recipe can be found at food.com. WINE BYTES The 33rd annual Wine & Roses Wine Tasting will be at Darlington House in La Jolla, Sept. 18 from 3 to 6 p.m. Proceeds to benefit at-risk children in San Diego.

Good Earth/Great Chefs series continues RANCHO SANTA FE — The Good Earth/Great Chefs series and the Chino Family Farm are excited to host the book launch celebration for Tershia d’Elgin and her book “The Man Who Thought He Owned Water: On the Brink with American Farms, Water, and Food.” The book launch is Sept. 11 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
A social activist with deep Colorado roots, d’Elgin, is a San Diego-based writer and water resources consultant, who also oversees a working farm on the South Platte River in Colorado with her family. As the Good Earth/ Great Chefs series continues to bring food and good earth together, Chino Farms applauds d’Elgin’s
impassioned call to rebalance our relationship with water, food supply, and food security in America, an issue that deeply affects all small farms. Join us as we celebrate her valuable work with food, drink, music, and a fun morning at one of San Diego’s best farms. Chino Farms is at 6123 Calzada del Bosque in Rancho Santa Fe.

Gold. We didn’t lose the Silver. But we won the Bronze medal,” Peters said. At 52, Peters admits that he’s in the downturn of his career. Though he already has another horse, a 9-yearold they nicknamed Rosy, in the wings for a possible run at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It would be a matter of whether, at the age of 56 when the next games are held, that he’d be fit and ready. “Honestly, the last experience in Rio was so good, if somebody were to have to tell me, ‘Look that’s it for you,’ I would have been perfectly fine with that,” he said. Prior to going to Rio, though, he’d heard all the media reports about the Zika Virus and mosquitoes. He said there were concerns about going over with the horses. But at the venue, Peters said he didn’t see one single mosquito — he couldn’t even recall seeing a single fly. His Olympic experience also included walking in the opening ceremonies, taking photos with Team USA swimmer Michael Phelps and his friend, Golden State Warrior and Team USA basketball player Karl Thompson. Over his stay at the Olympics, he described one moment where he saw two athletes from North and South Korea take a selfie together. “Just cool stuff like that where politics disappears for a moment completely,” he said. “You see this incredible tool, the sport itself, how much it can bring people together.
To experience that, is just incredible.” Though even after his earlier Olympic experiences, the pressure to compete in Rio was still there. In the ’96 Olympics, Peters said he remembered the pressure being just incredible. “Somehow I dealt with it, but I had a hard time eating, a hard time sleeping in 1996. To be honest, the pressure is still exactly the same,” he said. However, after the first performance during the Rio games, Legolas produced one of the best scores of his career. “There was this huge relief,” Peters said. “Some people say there’s a monkey on your shoulders. Honestly it was a 350-pound orangutan that’s on your shoulders.” Being a veteran competitor at the Olympics, Peters said he’s learned to deal with the pressure. He was able to eat and sleep better this time around. “And anybody who tells you they’re less nervous or they’re not nervous, they’re not telling the truth.” Since the Olympics, Legolas has been rewarded with a vacation in Europe before coming back home where he’ll still be able to take it easy with another two weeks off, to get ready for the next season. In the meantime, Peters will be riding Rosy for a little while, getting ready for the National Championships later this October. His next two goals he said: The World Cup in Omaha, Neb., next year, and the World Games in 2018.

torbike that got him around. He earned $225 a week to start, working at Seabreeze Farms breaking horses. What he didn’t spend on rent, he used to make sure his horse had food and for his own meals — usually a carne asada burrito from Roberto’s on Carmel Valley Road. “I ate there most of the time twice a day,” he said. And he still goes there once in a while. “The carne asada burrito is amazing. I think it’s the best in town,” he said. In the Atlanta games, his parents were able to witness his son’s dream become reality, competing and winning the Bronze medal. His father passed away shortly after the games, Peters said. Following the games, though, Peters thought that was his first and last Olympics. But crediting the people that supported him, he was able to attend the London games in 2012 and most recently, this year’s Rio Olympics. As for his Rio experience: “I loved it.” He got a sense that Team USA was going to earn a medal while sitting in the stands, watching his teammate Laura Graves compete. “I was sitting in the stands crying like a 10-year-old guy because it meant so much to me. It was 20 years ago that we won a medal.” Riding his horse, Legolas 92, Peters and the team would go on to compete and win the Bronze. “We didn’t lose the

but the developers must conform to city requirements. Prior to 2009, the area was designated single-family residential, yet updates in the General Plan changed the designation to industrial, said Escondido Associate Planner Jay Paul. To cover its bases, Badiee Development is submitting plans to be zoned as industrial. “These parcels only came available when the General Plan changed,” Paul said. “It’s to be in conformance with the General Plan. As part of their project application, they requested to do plan developments, which is kind of a contract zone. You establish a Master Development Plan with your own zoning criteria.” As for the project, one building will be about

(main songwriter and frontman of My Morning Jacket), began as other recent recording projects have, with LaMontagne isolating himself at his rural Massachusetts home to see what the muses had to offer. After about three weeks of creating bits and pieces of melodies and lyrics, LaMontagne wasn’t sure what to make of this cycle of creativity. But then LaMontagne had one of those nights where his brain wouldn’t turn off and he had “very fitful dreams and restless sleep.” He started to subconsciously connect the dots with his latest musical bits. “In the morning it just all seemed to make sense,” LaMontagne said. “Certain melodies led to other melodies, led to the next piece, led to the next
ents are being patient and understanding and we continue to get better.” The project also faced several delays. It was moved from its original site due to the discovery of arsenic on the grounds, and then it was further delayed due to prolonged negotiations with nearby property owners as well as changes to the plans mandated by the Division of the State Architect, that had to be submitted and approved
by the division before the school district moves forward with the project. But Baum said the wait was worth it. “We are lucky to be in San Marcos, which builds beautiful schools and this is absolutely one of them,” Baum said. “Our students get the best of both worlds, with both the elementary and middle school facilities, and one of the common statements we hear is, ‘What a beautiful school our students are going to.’’
on their qualifications for the position to the role microbreweries played in the city to the increasing developments of apartment complexes. For resident Gary Schons, who moved to the city in 1989 because of its small, rural town feel, said there’s not much left that’s rural anymore. “The only thing that’s left rural is Country Feed market out on the other end of town,” he said. “In my estimation a lot of the stuff got done because the council wanted it done, not because the people wanted
it done.” He said he liked what some of the candidates had to say, but added that he was against the proposal to get rid of the red light cameras in the city. “I think they ought to have more,” he said. “Have you ever been on Sycamore (Avenue) in the afternoon?” Schons said following the forum he’s narrowed his decision down to two candidates. “They all agree on a lot of things, but there are certain ones that I’m not real happy with,” he said.
55,500 square-feet, while the second is expected to be 35,500 square-feet. Parking includes 184 spaces. In addition to a more aesthetically pleasing architecture, other amenities include loading docks and a 26-foot clearance. “Looking at the development opportunities, the economy is improving,” Merry said. “Escondido is a good submarket and we were able to find this piece of property. We are seeing businesses now that are starting to grow and expand, so we’re hopeful that we are one of the first projects in the next wave of development to offer the newest, latest and greatest industrial-type project.” Although the city actively looks for developers, much of Escondido is built out, leaving little land for new construction, Geller said. However, Badiee Development also
bought an adjacent parcel of land and has submitted plans for another large project, she added. One challenge for the city, though, is vacancy rates in its industrial areas. Geller said the rate fluctuates between 1.8 and 2 percent, making it more difficult for new construction. About 29 acres of vacant land zoned for industrial remains in the city, she added. However, the acreage does not account for property “that may currently be developed, but has the potential for being recycled.” Ideally, Geller said, owners of run-down or vacant buildings would either sell to anxious developers or redevelop the properties on their own. “We are mostly built out,” she explained. “We would like to redevelop or turn over (those properties). We would love to see redevelopment.”
piece. And then I realized it felt to me like one song. And I thought ‘I kind of understand what’s happening here.’” LaMontagne went back to work on his music and emerged with a 40-minute demo that provided a roadmap for the kind of album “Ouroboros” would become. The album opens on a pastoral note, with the pretty piano-based “Homecoming” before moving into the spiky, at times spacey rock of “Hey, No Pressure” (one of several tunes that has more than a hint of the gauzy psychedelia of My Morning Jacket) and the churning, epic aPink Floyd-ish rock of “The Changing Man” before it shifts back to gentler territory on “In My Own Way” and “Wouldn’t It Make a Lovely Photo…” It all makes for a compelling and entertaining listen that needs a few spins to reveal
its depth and richness. In an interesting twist, after using studio musicians to record “Ouroboros,” LaMontagne has drafted bassist Tom Blankenship, drummer Patrick Hallahan, guitarist Carl Broemel and keyboardist Bo Koster — in other words, James’ four bandmates in My Morning Jacket — to be his touring band. LaMontagne has structured a multi-faceted show for his concerts on this tour. “I’m going to open the show myself acoustically, play an opening set of acoustic stuff, which I haven’t done in awhile,” he said. “Then the Jacket boys and myself will come out and play the record from start to finish. Then we’ll come back out and play some other stuff. They’re wonderful guys. Those Jacket boys are wonderful guys, and amazing musicians.”
